No worries, like I said, it'd just make things a bit easier, but I can still make things work.
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.

Will we still run the game this week, despite Koumei's current condition? Just wondering since that last post by her implies she's pretty exhausted.

Alright then. And I believe my minion's alignment and such are still under my jurisdiction, given she is my character and all? As much as I find the "sub-plots" involving Mariko amusing, I fear the worst when it comes to what the others have in mind and I do NOT want abrupt alignment changes that I have little to no say in. Yes, I speak of you guys. XD

Good. Also, I might need to leave from the next session a bit earlier than normal, since I need to throw my little brother over to school in the morning. The game might end before I need to go, though, but just wanted to say the possibility is there. And in retrospect I wonder if taking the Fallen class will pay off in the end, as I noticed the spellcasting I get isn't that useful and I might need to fiddle around with feats once I get the 5th Fallen level...

(10:20:12 PM) Kuniko: ( THIS is Indignation, Nax. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO0wUCG4isg )
(10:21:21 PM) Nax: (....doesn't seem that scary powerful)
(10:21:43 PM) Kuniko: ( Fine, you get hit by Ark's attack from FF IX )

(10:21:55 PM) Nasturtium: ( http://vimeo.com/35150174 )
(10:22:14 PM) Crystal: (( that was all dark, easy to absorb ))
(10:22:27 PM) Chamomile [chatzilla@Nightstar-06cfef1f.slkc.qwest.net] entered the room.
(10:22:37 PM) Nasturtium: He lives!
(10:22:39 PM) Chamomile is now known as Hobbes
(10:22:40 PM) Barzini: (Wow, Cham)
(10:22:49 PM) Kuniko: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?src_vid=Zd ... ys7ymUDov8 )
(10:22:54 PM) Hobbes: (Okay. Overslept a bit. What have I missed?)
(10:23:05 PM) Kuniko: ( Nothing yet. )
(10:23:12 PM) Barzini: (We haven't started yet.
(10:23:14 PM) Barzini: )
(10:23:28 PM) Hobbes: (Ah, perfect timing, then.)
(10:24:29 PM) Barzini: (Ah yes, and Johnny is Huge. I think Barz and everyone connected to him just took a level in Awesome for him acquiring that Wiener.)
(10:25:54 PM) ***Kuniko casually looks around while chatting with Mariko, most likely asking about how stuff had been at home.
(10:25:56 PM) Crystal: Big shark
(10:26:48 PM) Barzini: (Oh we are started? The MC gave no signal)
(10:26:56 PM) Mister_Cavern: So, the boat is sailing along...
(10:26:58 PM) Hobbes: (Bugger, just realized, we leveled up, right?)
(10:27:04 PM) Nasturtium: (yeah)
(10:27:17 PM) Hobbes: ('Kay, I'll sort that out real quick.0
(10:27:19 PM) Hobbes: )*
(10:27:24 PM) ***Nasturtium is busy attending to things in her cabin
(10:27:30 PM) Sparkles: ((We'll never see him again, will we?))
(10:27:43 PM) Hobbes: (Should be good by the time we actually fight something.)
(10:28:06 PM) ***Sparkles is attempting to sequence her own genome with a bathtub and geiger counter. This is not proceeding effectively.
(10:28:48 PM) ***Crystal is either stalking Barz or composing limmericks
(10:29:07 PM) ***Barzini steps out of his cabin with a confident smile, followed by Stapler and the nekomata, and he now sports of stylish red and black bat-like wings. Outside the ship, a much bigger fin circles in the water.w
(10:30:31 PM) ***Kuniko walks inside her cabin after a moment, probably to check up on Praline and co.
(10:30:32 PM) ***Hobbes emerges from his cabin, doors creaking and cobwebs falling to the ground as a musty, sepulchric air blows out from inside.
(10:30:44 PM) Nasturtium: [Rammy] is searching the ship for rare candies
(10:30:55 PM) Nasturtium: (wait, what level are we now? 8?)
(10:31:06 PM) Kuniko: ( Yes )
(10:31:10 PM) Hobbes: (I sure hope so, elsewise I missed two.)
(10:31:22 PM) Nasturtium: (goddamned MW maintenance...)
(10:31:28 PM) ***Kuniko soon returns, and notices Hobbes. "Oh, I forgot you were still on the ship."
(10:31:43 PM) Hobbes: "I had a lot of paperwork to do."
(10:32:14 PM) Kuniko: "...right." *She then goes back to chatting/gossiping/talking crap with Mariko*
(10:32:37 PM) Barzini: "Heheh. These new wings make it a little weird to sleep but now I'm surging with power. The nekomata is a nice addition to my cabin, and Stapler, uh... she works hard, but she tastes like metal and paint. It's like she's a suit of armor."
(10:32:47 PM) Nasturtium: "That's why I never do it."
(10:33:07 PM) Nasturtium: "Paperwork, that is"
(10:33:36 PM) Crystal: That's why you should sleep hanging from your tail
(10:33:43 PM) Kuniko: "I've never really needed to do paperwork myself, and neither has Mariko."
(10:33:57 PM) ***Barzini blinks. "Uh. I don't have a tail yet..."
(10:34:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: Mariko is taking a liking to the place, making herself at home - and making use of the facilities (such as torturing the cat)
(10:34:14 PM) ***Barzini frowns, "Hey, why don't I have a tail?"
(10:34:25 PM) Nasturtium: "Really!?" *reaches into Barzini's pants to check*
(10:34:30 PM) Crystal: Well then, you simply must get one, they're the best
(10:34:34 PM) ***Crystal giggles
(10:34:36 PM) Barzini: "H-hey!"
(10:34:45 PM) Kuniko: ( That cat deserves it, and everyone knows that )
(10:34:52 PM) Nasturtium: "Oh I've molested all the crew. I didn't want you feeling left out."
(10:35:15 PM) ***Barzini has no tail. But wherever it's supposed to be equipped, the H.W. is now attuned.
(10:35:16 PM) Kuniko: "That's...interesting..."
(10:35:21 PM) Hobbes: "The good news is that the ship is now officially TTP compliant. Even if some of the questions required some creative reinterpretation."
(10:35:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: At some point the navigator checks with Nasturtium. "Hey, you still headed for the Wildlife Preserve on Eltrut Isle?"
(10:35:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Oh, yeah! I need that Bebilith sack."
(10:36:01 PM) Kuniko: "Wildlife Preserve? That sounds like a good place for finding nature spirits."
(10:36:44 PM) Barzini: "Wildlife preserve? Captain, why are we headed there?"
(10:36:56 PM) Nasturtium: "I told you, I need a bebiith sack"
(10:37:06 PM) ***Sparkles exits her cabin wearing her standard SCIENCE! outfit. "Do we have any Spiral-conduction bioconduits in stock?"
(10:37:09 PM) Kuniko: "Please tell me you mean a venom sack..."
(10:37:15 PM) Crystal: What's a bebe - liff?
(10:37:21 PM) Barzini: "Bebilith sack..."
(10:37:23 PM) Nasturtium: "Yeah, but that's not as fun"
(10:37:26 PM) ***Barzini thinks.
(10:37:30 PM) Kuniko: "I think it's a demon of some kind."
(10:37:45 PM) Sparkles: !dice 1d20+11 Know (the planes)
(10:37:45 PM) Barzini: (I prolly have the K:P to have some idea)
(10:37:45 PM) Yuffie: Sparkles : Result of 1d20+11 Know (the planes) : (4) 15
(10:37:56 PM) Crystal: The fun sort or the hack to death sort of demon?
(10:37:59 PM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+13 K:Planes
(10:37:59 PM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+13 K:Planes : (15) 28
(10:38:04 PM) ***Sparkles has nothing to add
(10:38:22 PM) ***Crystal crystal looks accusingly at Barz while she asks that question
(10:38:32 PM) Nasturtium: "It's a giant, armour rending spider. So... the fun kind."
(10:38:41 PM) Kuniko: !dice 1d20+10 Know Planes
(10:38:41 PM) Yuffie: Kuniko : Result of 1d20+10 Know Planes : (8) 18
(10:39:50 PM) Kuniko: "Wait, why would such a thing hang around at a Wildlife Preserve?"
(10:40:07 PM) Nasturtium: "Because it's more like a monster factory."
(10:40:30 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey, wait a minute... isn't there a spell that calls Bebiliths?"
(10:40:45 PM) Crystal: Here bebe, bebe, bebe.....
(10:40:49 PM) Kuniko: "I think so?"
(10:40:55 PM) Barzini: "You mean like a Summoning?"
(10:40:59 PM) ***Crystal makes unskilled hogcalling noise
(10:41:22 PM) ***Kuniko frowns while looking at Crystal, then turns to see if Mariko is doing anything.
(10:41:23 PM) Nasturtium: "Anyone cast from "Whatever there is of the appropriate type?""
(10:41:52 PM) ***Crystal can totally write magical poetry now
(10:42:09 PM) Barzini: "Might not be easy. These things are tough old bastards that can get away pretty easily."
(10:43:05 PM) Kuniko: ( Be right back, need to get a drink...or five. )
(10:43:09 PM) Nasturtium: (so.... I have no clue how Rammy was qualifying for Lurker in the Swarm before, given she's only now high enough level to have the required rank of KNature)
(10:44:19 PM) Hobbes: (Because Koumei doesn't give a rat's ass about skills, probably?)
(10:44:30 PM) Nasturtium: (...possibly)
(10:44:39 PM) Crystal: So if they can get away easy, we just have to convince it to stay until it's too late
(10:44:55 PM) Nasturtium: "Well I think there's a chance of it attacking the caster"
(10:46:03 PM) Crystal: Before or after you cut its sac off?
(10:46:03 PM) Barzini: "Well, whatever. With my new powers I feel strong enough to take on anything today. I love being STRONG."
(10:46:05 PM) Kuniko: ( Back )
(10:46:09 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Okay then, Captain. Just warning you, there is word that there are some pretty powerful beasts out there."
(10:46:22 PM) Nasturtium: "Good. We can use the XP"
(10:46:31 PM) Kuniko: "Poweful beasts? Doesn't sound too bad."
(10:47:04 PM) ***Sparkles wanders off to find the parts she needs
(10:47:29 PM) Kuniko: "I wonder if I should let Mariko come along. Her spells might be useful."
(10:47:31 PM) Barzini: "And that eating contest must have given Johnny some nutrition he was missing out on, just look at the size of him!"
(10:47:47 PM) Crystal: That is one fine looking pool shark
(10:47:59 PM) Crystal: You should get him a bigger table now
(10:48:22 PM) Crystal: Maybe with bumpers or flashing lights
(10:48:33 PM) Barzini: "He'll need a bigger table and a bigger pool cue for sure."
(10:48:44 PM) Crystal: Or halflings inside the balls
(10:49:24 PM) ***Kuniko gives a slight glance at Hobbes. "...this is bad comedy. Agreed?"
(10:50:21 PM) Hobbes: "I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about. I can't imagine any of my coworkers joking on the job."
(10:51:08 PM) ***Kuniko frowns at this. "...never mind."
(10:51:32 PM) ***Kuniko decides to just telepathically explain that what they were talking about is nonsensical in her opinion.
(10:51:39 PM) Kuniko: ( Explain to Hobbes, that is. )
(10:52:08 PM) ***Barzini notices Kuniko hasn't been speaking to him since their contract, and starts to say something, but then gets caught up thinking back to it...
(10:52:28 PM) Crystal: So, aside from those spiffy wings, what sort of new powers are you bursting with ?
(10:52:48 PM) ***Kuniko suddenly grabs Barzini and drags him to her cabin, making sure nobody else follows.
(10:52:53 PM) Barzini: "... eh... huh? Wha?"
(10:53:11 PM) Crystal: You've been boasting all morning....
(10:54:05 PM) ***Barzini grins at his kidnapper. "What's up, Kuniko? If this is about more protection for Mariko, it's gonna cost ya."
(10:54:28 PM) Kuniko: ( Did he already cop the feel? XD )
(10:54:48 PM) Barzini: (I would guess, assuming today is a new day.)
(10:55:01 PM) Kuniko: ( Oh, then forget that kidnapping even happened )
(10:55:12 PM) Kuniko: ( I thought he had forgotten it or something. )
(10:55:16 PM) Barzini: ('k.)
(10:55:32 PM) Kuniko: ( So Kuniko's still telepathically explaining stuff to Hobbes. )
(10:56:05 PM) ***Hobbes shows no outward sign of acknowledging the explanation at all.
(10:56:27 PM) ***Barzini is daydreaming about the moment, and it's almost like it's happening again! And then he snaps out of it and finds himself talking to Crystal. "Yeah, all morning... what were we talking about again?"
(10:56:55 PM) Crystal: The fire decals on your wings
(10:57:07 PM) ***Kuniko notices Barzini blanking out, suddenly talking to him telepathically instead. "Focus on what Crystal is saying."
(10:57:59 PM) ***Barzini tries to look to look at his wings. "They're pretty new and kinda sore from when I slept on them, but the minions think they're nice!"
(10:58:07 PM) Barzini: (-redundancy)
(10:58:38 PM) Crystal: Maybe you should stretch them out with some flying
(10:59:02 PM) ***Kuniko realizes that Mariko might have not noticed Kuniko's own wings...or maybe she was distracted by the boobs.
(10:59:29 PM) ***Barzini stretches the wings a bit then tries a little bit of non-booze flight.
(10:59:31 PM) ***Crystal grabs Barzetta's hand and tries to drag him aloft
(10:59:33 PM) ***Kuniko then looks at Hobbes, a slight bit of a mischievous grin on her face. "By the way, have you noticed anything new?"
(10:59:47 PM) ***Barzini blinks and tries to keep up.
(11:00:07 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Yeah, Kuniko has a pair of pumpkins of her own!)
(11:00:22 PM) Kuniko: ( Exactly what she is getting at )
(11:00:43 PM) Hobbes: "Barzini has new wings, of course. The shark got bigger. There's a few new crew members onboard. Am I missing anything?"
(11:01:19 PM) Kuniko: "Are you sure those are the only new things?"
(11:02:04 PM) ***Barzini holds hands with Crystal and flies around on open seas around the ship a bit."This is pretty fun!"
(11:02:08 PM) Mister_Cavern: At any rate, very soon, Eltrut Isle, located on the equator, is coming into view. It looks kind of large compared to the other islands, and there does seem to be rocky mountainous terrain, along with the usual beaches and desert. Also there are some big flying things out in the distance.
(11:02:09 PM) Hobbes: "I don't see anything else new. Maybe you're referring to something belowdecks?"
(11:02:41 PM) Kuniko: "Never mind." *Looks at the island instead*
(11:02:43 PM) ***Nasturtium walks up and points Hobbes' head at Kuniko's rack
(11:03:09 PM) Kuniko: ( lol, she's looking at the island while her pumpkins are being stared at :U )
(11:03:26 PM) Hobbes: "...Kuniko got new clothes?"
(11:03:38 PM) Hobbes: "They look the same as the old ones."
(11:03:49 PM) Barzini: (Excellent)
(11:03:49 PM) Kuniko: ( Hobbes' obliviousness wins. )
(11:04:06 PM) Kuniko: ( Is that even a word? Obliviousness )
(11:04:30 PM) Sparkles: (it is now)
(11:04:49 PM) Kuniko: "These are the same clothes..."*Notices it's both Hobbes and Nast staring, and she steps back a bit*
(11:05:16 PM) Hobbes: "Are you sure? I think these ones might be a size or two smaller."
(11:05:47 PM) Kuniko: "No, they're the same. Same size, same dull grey color and same slight cuts on the sleeves."
(11:06:04 PM) Hobbes: "I think there's also some around the shoulders, now."
(11:06:05 PM) ***Kuniko feels annoyed by the oblivious nature of the pumpkinhead.
(11:06:21 PM) Kuniko: "...it's still the same."
(11:06:26 PM) Nax: (don't make fun of a classic horror creatre >>)
(11:06:30 PM) Nasturtium: "Want me to just shove his head in?"
(11:06:42 PM) Kuniko: "...you sure that would work?"
(11:07:04 PM) ***Barzini has a look at the other things flying around while he's in the sky, particularly the large things around Eltrut Isle.
(11:07:08 PM) ***Kuniko is not mentally prepared for Nast's suggestion.
(11:07:21 PM) Nasturtium: "Don't know, lets try" *shoves Hobbes' face into Kuniko's marshmallow hell*
(11:07:23 PM) Crystal: Watch out for the rigging!
(11:07:44 PM) ***Kuniko blushes a bit, not sure of Hobbes' reaction.
(11:08:31 PM) ***Barzini immediately gets distracted by the ongoings on deck. "She's buying Hobbes out too! The whole crew is going to be converted to her shrine!"
(11:08:46 PM) Crystal: Wait what?
(11:08:57 PM) ***Crystal swoops down for a closer look
(11:09:29 PM) ***Kuniko yells out loud at Barzini. "This has nothing to do with that stupid little contract, you darned pervert!!"
(11:09:53 PM) ***Hobbes stumbles slightly as he's shoved into Kuniko's chest. Placing his hands on her shoulders, he slowly pushes himself away. "Oh, ha ha. Trick the tall guy into leaning over the short person just to give him a shove? How very professional."
(11:10:16 PM) ***Kuniko looks at Hobbes as he suddenly pushes himself away. "...are you okay?"
(11:10:31 PM) Nasturtium: "Hobbes, that corporate sexual harassment training worked to well."
(11:11:00 PM) Hobbes: "I'm fine. I'll just need a few minutes with Lilith for stress relief before we make port. She's such a good listener."
(11:11:05 PM) ***Kuniko looks up to glare at Barzini. "Next time you yell, YOU will be the one I'll whip the hell out of!!"
(11:11:30 PM) ***Kuniko then turns her attention to Hobbes. "Who is Lilith?"
(11:11:31 PM) ***Barzini has a bit of an albatross landing, running a bit to come to a complete stop.
(11:11:49 PM) Nasturtium: "Wait, can you even sexually harass people, Hobbes? Here, grab my ass..."
(11:12:22 PM) Kuniko: "Captain...ass-grabbing aside, who is Lilith?"
(11:12:51 PM) ***Hobbes shrugs and grabs Nasturtium in the least sensual way imaginable. "Like this? Maybe this would be easier if you told me what this is supposed to accomplish."
(11:12:52 PM) Nasturtium: "I think she's Hobbes' cohort."
(11:12:53 PM) Barzini: "Ah, didn't mean for you to hear me, I was just trying to say it loud enough for Crystal to hear while we were in the air."
(11:13:21 PM) Nasturtium: "Hm... nope. Not feeling harassed yet. Professor Sparkles, we have a new experiment for you!"
(11:13:26 PM) Kuniko: "And why would Crystal need to hear?" *Really angry glare at Crystal*
(11:13:37 PM) Kuniko: *Not Crystal, at Hobbes*
(11:13:42 PM) Kuniko: ( FIX!! )
(11:13:56 PM) ***Crystal reminds Barzallion that she can commonicate telepathically, telepathetically
(11:14:12 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Sexual harrassment training? They train people in how to do that?)
(11:14:18 PM) Kuniko: ( It's possible )
(11:14:23 PM) Kuniko: "Hobbes."
(11:14:42 PM) ***Kuniko sends the captain a telepathic message. "Can I try training him with my whip?"
(11:14:51 PM) Hobbes: "You aren't still angry about that Fire Token, are you? I'm not even using it anymore."
(11:14:53 PM) Kuniko: ( She'd mean giving Hobbes the whip and have HIM whip Patiki. )
(11:15:05 PM) Barzini: "Well... you want more followers, right?"
(11:15:09 PM) Nasturtium: (More like how not to. Apparently we need it at work...)
(11:15:21 PM) Kuniko: "You can give it to me, then. But I have something else in mind. *Shows her whip* You do know why I have this, right?"
(11:15:33 PM) Nasturtium: (I wish they trained people how to not feel sexually harassed, seems much more useful)
(11:15:42 PM) Barzini: (Frigging signed.)
(11:15:50 PM) ***Kuniko looks at Barzini while still talking to Hobbes. "Yes, but not with just sex appeal."
(11:16:00 PM) Hobbes: "Diciplinary issues with the crew."
(11:16:10 PM) Kuniko: ( I think people should also be trained to sexually harass only with safety words. )
(11:16:26 PM) ***Barzini furrows his brow, "What was your shrine supposed to be about again?"
(11:16:27 PM) Kuniko: "I have secondary reasons. Could you imagine them in any way?"
(11:16:48 PM) Nasturtium: (yes! I need a shirt that says "if you're feeling sexually harassed, the safe word is Supercalifragilistic)
(11:16:51 PM) ***Kuniko answers to Barzini again. "What do you mean?"
(11:17:10 PM) Hobbes: "...You're planning on multi-classing into some kind of trip-fighter build?"
(11:17:11 PM) ***Sparkles appears before Nasturtium, with a slight "boom" signaling post-Mach speeds. "Experiment???"
(11:17:14 PM) Barzini: "What's the portfolio. What are your followers supposed to be there for?"
(11:17:28 PM) ***Nasturtium sighs, "No, you big scarecrow, this is sexual harassment!" and gropes Hobbes' crotch
(11:17:34 PM) Kuniko: "No!! I get turned on by it!! Do you even know what that means?!"
(11:17:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: So, all too soon, the ship/Rammy slides onto the sandy shore. It looks like there is a sort of minor fortress set up. Or rather, there is a wall enclosing most of the island, with... entrances/bastions that are about the size of kiosks
(11:17:43 PM) Hobbes: "You're secretly an android?"
(11:17:48 PM) ***Kuniko is suddenly stunned by seeing the captain sexually harass Hobbes.
(11:18:11 PM) ***Barzini isn't, as he was already just sharked.
(11:18:21 PM) ***Nasturtium says to Sparkles "we need to find out if it's possible for Hobbes to sexually harass someone."
(11:18:22 PM) Mister_Cavern: ...FFS. Anyone want to give me ~$200 so I can buy a new tablet?
(11:18:30 PM) Nasturtium: ...me first?
(11:18:35 PM) Barzini: (+1)
(11:18:41 PM) Kuniko: "...wait, there's a fortress here too?"
(11:18:48 PM) Barzini: (I've been thinking I may need a tablet to finish a project of mine..)
(11:19:02 PM) Kuniko: "And I hope Mariko didn't hear that one thing I just said." ( Her expression right now... X__X )
(11:19:07 PM) Nasturtium: (protip: don't put plates on your tablet)
(11:19:21 PM) Mister_Cavern: It's just that the cord is a piece of shit
(11:19:23 PM) Sparkles: "I... see? Does Hobbes even have reproductive capacity?"
(11:19:30 PM) Barzini: "Wait, you were turned on by that Kuniko?"
(11:19:38 PM) ***Crystal blinks
(11:19:58 PM) Nasturtium: "That's what I'm wondering... I don't know if what I'm feeling is dick or... infrastructure..."
(11:20:13 PM) ***Kuniko responds to Barzini telepathically. "I like whipping Patiki. Now shut up."
(11:20:24 PM) Sparkles: "I guess we could set up an MRI. As long as he doesn't have any built-in metal components."
(11:20:54 PM) Sparkles: "Most of the cyclotron components are going into the new main engine core though."
(11:20:59 PM) Nasturtium: "Hobbes, when we get back to ship, report to Rammys' and my private chamber"
(11:21:04 PM) Hobbes: "I've sewn a few of my magic items into my chest. That might be an issue."
(11:21:14 PM) Barzini: "I still don't understand what the shrine has to offer to followers if not the obvious thing..."
(11:21:15 PM) Kuniko: "Captain, are you sure that will work?"
(11:21:29 PM) Nasturtium: "Should be fun, at least"
(11:21:33 PM) Kuniko: "Barzini, I am considering that but it's NOT the only function!!"
(11:21:52 PM) Nasturtium: "What's that, Kuniko, your shrine is for fucking?"
(11:21:55 PM) Kuniko: "Shrines are for the deities of the shrine, not for wanton things such as those."
(11:22:03 PM) Crystal: It's..what's the word....multipurpose
(11:22:07 PM) Kuniko: "I don't know anymore!! DX "
(11:22:11 PM) ***Barzini scratches the back of his head.
(11:22:15 PM) Nasturtium: "But what if the diety is one *of* fucking?"
(11:22:26 PM) Kuniko: "Are you implying I am going to end up that way?"
(11:22:38 PM) Nasturtium: (ok, I think Nast and Rammy are updated correctly)
(11:22:42 PM) Nasturtium: "End up?"
(11:22:43 PM) Kuniko: "...for all I know, you'd be donating a lot if it went that way..."
(11:23:08 PM) Kuniko: "...if things go as they should, I'll be a fire deity of some sort...with a large bust."
(11:23:28 PM) ***Barzini deadpans at Kuniko, "...fire?"
(11:23:42 PM) Nasturtium: (I'm not sure if I want to finish out Net of the Pirate Kings...)
(11:23:44 PM) Crystal: Like hotness
(11:23:47 PM) ***Crystal winks
(11:23:48 PM) Kuniko: "I need to pick SOME domains, don't I?" *Frowns at Barzini*
(11:23:56 PM) Kuniko: ( And she does have Fire Mage levels )
(11:23:58 PM) ***Sparkles , on conditioned reflex, runs over to one of the cannons, loads it, and activates it
(11:24:19 PM) Nasturtium: "Damnit, Sparkles! It's only when I say it!"
(11:24:31 PM) Barzini: "Boring! The domain I value is Wealth."
(11:24:33 PM) Mister_Cavern: The cannon does indeed fire... cracking one of the fortress walls
(11:24:36 PM) Sparkles: "Sorry!"
(11:24:36 PM) Kuniko: "I wonder what would have happened if I had done that."
(11:24:40 PM) Nasturtium: [Rammy] "Though it did feel good, Nast-y."
(11:24:44 PM) Hobbes: "Maybe Kuniko should discipline her for it later. She seems very interested in the subject."
(11:24:47 PM) ***Crystal dives for cover
(11:24:58 PM) Kuniko: "Wait, discpline who?"
(11:25:03 PM) Kuniko: *She's suddenly grinning a bit*
(11:25:19 PM) Hobbes: "Crystal. For firing the cannon on Barzini's orders instead of the captain's."
(11:25:24 PM) Nasturtium: "That'll have to wait, Sparkles needs to help me experiment on you."
(11:25:55 PM) Crystal: That wasn't me....
(11:25:56 PM) Kuniko: "Wait, wasn't it Sparkles who fired? And..."
(11:26:02 PM) ***Crystal comes up pointing at Sparkles
(11:26:04 PM) Hobbes: "I always get them confused."
(11:26:08 PM) Sparkles: "I'll get the car battery. Although we seem to be out of biospiral conduits, so we'll just have to use power cables."
(11:26:17 PM) ***Kuniko telepathically sends a message to the captain. "Don't change too much on Hobbes, alright?"
(11:26:29 PM) ***Barzini jumps slightly at the cannon going off. "... they know we're here now, don't they."
(11:26:33 PM) Crystal: Oh, Mr. Pumpkinhead, we're easy to tell apart
(11:26:34 PM) Hobbes: "Regardless, I think we have more pressing issues right now. Fortified ones."
(11:26:42 PM) Crystal: I'm the cute one, she's the smart one
(11:26:46 PM) Barzini: "We'll talk about the boobie shrine later I guess, better gear up now!"
(11:27:00 PM) ***Nasturtium looks over to the fort where guards are probably watching the ship from, very confused
(11:27:07 PM) Sparkles: "I thought I was cute too..."
(11:27:55 PM) Crystal: But Sparkles, you're only like cute-cute
(11:28:00 PM) ***Kuniko turns to look at the fort, though kind of hoping for a reply from the captain.
(11:28:40 PM) ***Nasturtium thinks back "We'll see how things go. He may get a gift from my Santa Sack of Cock."
(11:29:10 PM) ***Barzini asks Stapler to zoom in and report what she sees.
(11:29:24 PM) ***Kuniko replies to the reply. "I am not sure how I should take that..."
(11:29:42 PM) Mister_Cavern: Indeed, while the party makes implications at one another, compares cuteness and the like, the smoke starts to clear from the blast in the wall. Already, a group of armoured fellows - their armour shining and GLEAMING with light - start to step out.
(11:29:46 PM) ***Nasturtium thinks "We can't have a non-molestable crew member!"
(11:30:06 PM) Nasturtium: "Don't I own this place?"
(11:30:24 PM) ***Kuniko thinks back to Nast. "But I want to molest him!!"
(11:30:30 PM) Kuniko: ( ...she admitted :U )
(11:30:30 PM) Crystal: They probably just don't know it yet
(11:30:52 PM) Mister_Cavern: What lies in store for the team? What do these fellows have to do with monster production? Will Hobbes end up getting a grafted dong? Will Kuniko and Sparkles have some kind of session that sounds JUST LIKE a game I'd run?
(11:30:54 PM) ***Nasturtium thinks in reply "All the more reason?"
(11:31:00 PM) ***Barzini makes the obligatory OotS pun, "This ought to be Good."
(11:31:06 PM) Mister_Cavern: Find out in the next exciting episode of TENGEN TOPPA FRIENDSHIP PUNCH!
(11:31:14 PM) Nasturtium: aww... are we ending?
(11:31:21 PM) Kuniko: I'd need to go in 30 mins anyway
(11:31:23 PM) Mister_Cavern: yeah. I'm just not in the mood for it
(11:31:27 PM) Hobbes: Wow. New record for not getting stuff done today.
(11:31:28 PM) Mister_Cavern is now known as Koumei
(11:31:29 PM) Nasturtium: ah, sorry
(11:31:29 PM) Hobbes: Oh, well.
(11:31:31 PM) Kuniko: I was worried this would happen
(11:31:33 PM) Hobbes is now known as Chamomile
(11:31:33 PM) ***Crystal is disappointed
(10:19:31 PM) Koumei is now known as Mister_Cavern
(10:19:47 PM) Iori is now known as Barzini
(10:19:54 PM) Icyshadow is now known as Kuniko
(10:19:56 PM) Prak is now known as Nasturtium
(10:20:06 PM) You are now known as Crystal
(10:20:12 PM) Kuniko: ( THIS is Indignation, Nax. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO0wUCG4isg )
(10:21:21 PM) Nax: (....doesn't seem that scary powerful)
(10:21:43 PM) Kuniko: ( Fine, you get hit by Ark's attack from FF IX )
(10:21:55 PM) Quantumboost is now known as Sparkles
(10:21:55 PM) Nasturtium: ( http://vimeo.com/35150174 )
(10:22:14 PM) Crystal: (( that was all dark, easy to absorb ))
(10:22:27 PM) Chamomile [chatzilla@Nightstar-06cfef1f.slkc.qwest.net] entered the room.
(10:22:37 PM) Nasturtium: He lives!
(10:22:39 PM) Chamomile is now known as Hobbes
(10:22:40 PM) Barzini: (Wow, Cham)
(10:22:49 PM) Kuniko: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?src_vid=Zd ... ys7ymUDov8 )
(10:22:54 PM) Hobbes: (Okay. Overslept a bit. What have I missed?)
(10:23:05 PM) Kuniko: ( Nothing yet. )
(10:23:12 PM) Barzini: (We haven't started yet.
(10:23:14 PM) Barzini: )
(10:23:28 PM) Hobbes: (Ah, perfect timing, then.)
(10:24:29 PM) Barzini: (Ah yes, and Johnny is Huge. I think Barz and everyone connected to him just took a level in Awesome for him acquiring that Wiener.)
(10:25:54 PM) ***Kuniko casually looks around while chatting with Mariko, most likely asking about how stuff had been at home.
(10:25:56 PM) Crystal: Big shark
(10:26:48 PM) Barzini: (Oh we are started? The MC gave no signal)
(10:26:56 PM) Mister_Cavern: So, the boat is sailing along...
(10:26:58 PM) Hobbes: (Bugger, just realized, we leveled up, right?)
(10:27:04 PM) Nasturtium: (yeah)
(10:27:17 PM) Hobbes: ('Kay, I'll sort that out real quick.0
(10:27:19 PM) Hobbes: )*
(10:27:24 PM) ***Nasturtium is busy attending to things in her cabin
(10:27:30 PM) Sparkles: ((We'll never see him again, will we?))
(10:27:43 PM) Hobbes: (Should be good by the time we actually fight something.)
(10:28:06 PM) ***Sparkles is attempting to sequence her own genome with a bathtub and geiger counter. This is not proceeding effectively.
(10:28:48 PM) ***Crystal is either stalking Barz or composing limmericks
(10:29:07 PM) ***Barzini steps out of his cabin with a confident smile, followed by Stapler and the nekomata, and he now sports of stylish red and black bat-like wings. Outside the ship, a much bigger fin circles in the water.w
(10:30:31 PM) ***Kuniko walks inside her cabin after a moment, probably to check up on Praline and co.
(10:30:32 PM) ***Hobbes emerges from his cabin, doors creaking and cobwebs falling to the ground as a musty, sepulchric air blows out from inside.
(10:30:44 PM) Nasturtium: [Rammy] is searching the ship for rare candies
(10:30:55 PM) Nasturtium: (wait, what level are we now? 8?)
(10:31:06 PM) Kuniko: ( Yes )
(10:31:10 PM) Hobbes: (I sure hope so, elsewise I missed two.)
(10:31:22 PM) Nasturtium: (goddamned MW maintenance...)
(10:31:28 PM) ***Kuniko soon returns, and notices Hobbes. "Oh, I forgot you were still on the ship."
(10:31:43 PM) Hobbes: "I had a lot of paperwork to do."
(10:32:14 PM) Kuniko: "...right." *She then goes back to chatting/gossiping/talking crap with Mariko*
(10:32:37 PM) Barzini: "Heheh. These new wings make it a little weird to sleep but now I'm surging with power. The nekomata is a nice addition to my cabin, and Stapler, uh... she works hard, but she tastes like metal and paint. It's like she's a suit of armor."
(10:32:47 PM) Nasturtium: "That's why I never do it."
(10:33:07 PM) Nasturtium: "Paperwork, that is"
(10:33:36 PM) Crystal: That's why you should sleep hanging from your tail
(10:33:43 PM) Kuniko: "I've never really needed to do paperwork myself, and neither has Mariko."
(10:33:57 PM) ***Barzini blinks. "Uh. I don't have a tail yet..."
(10:34:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: Mariko is taking a liking to the place, making herself at home - and making use of the facilities (such as torturing the cat)
(10:34:14 PM) ***Barzini frowns, "Hey, why don't I have a tail?"
(10:34:25 PM) Nasturtium: "Really!?" *reaches into Barzini's pants to check*
(10:34:30 PM) Crystal: Well then, you simply must get one, they're the best
(10:34:34 PM) ***Crystal giggles
(10:34:36 PM) Barzini: "H-hey!"
(10:34:45 PM) Kuniko: ( That cat deserves it, and everyone knows that )
(10:34:52 PM) Nasturtium: "Oh I've molested all the crew. I didn't want you feeling left out."
(10:35:15 PM) ***Barzini has no tail. But wherever it's supposed to be equipped, the H.W. is now attuned.
(10:35:16 PM) Kuniko: "That's...interesting..."
(10:35:21 PM) Hobbes: "The good news is that the ship is now officially TTP compliant. Even if some of the questions required some creative reinterpretation."
(10:35:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: At some point the navigator checks with Nasturtium. "Hey, you still headed for the Wildlife Preserve on Eltrut Isle?"
(10:35:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Oh, yeah! I need that Bebilith sack."
(10:36:01 PM) Kuniko: "Wildlife Preserve? That sounds like a good place for finding nature spirits."
(10:36:44 PM) Barzini: "Wildlife preserve? Captain, why are we headed there?"
(10:36:56 PM) Nasturtium: "I told you, I need a bebiith sack"
(10:37:06 PM) ***Sparkles exits her cabin wearing her standard SCIENCE! outfit. "Do we have any Spiral-conduction bioconduits in stock?"
(10:37:09 PM) Kuniko: "Please tell me you mean a venom sack..."
(10:37:15 PM) Crystal: What's a bebe - liff?
(10:37:21 PM) Barzini: "Bebilith sack..."
(10:37:23 PM) Nasturtium: "Yeah, but that's not as fun"
(10:37:26 PM) ***Barzini thinks.
(10:37:30 PM) Kuniko: "I think it's a demon of some kind."
(10:37:45 PM) Sparkles: !dice 1d20+11 Know (the planes)
(10:37:45 PM) Barzini: (I prolly have the K:P to have some idea)
(10:37:45 PM) Yuffie: Sparkles : Result of 1d20+11 Know (the planes) : (4) 15
(10:37:56 PM) Crystal: The fun sort or the hack to death sort of demon?
(10:37:59 PM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+13 K:Planes
(10:37:59 PM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+13 K:Planes : (15) 28
(10:38:04 PM) ***Sparkles has nothing to add
(10:38:22 PM) ***Crystal crystal looks accusingly at Barz while she asks that question
(10:38:32 PM) Nasturtium: "It's a giant, armour rending spider. So... the fun kind."
(10:38:41 PM) Kuniko: !dice 1d20+10 Know Planes
(10:38:41 PM) Yuffie: Kuniko : Result of 1d20+10 Know Planes : (8) 18
(10:39:50 PM) Kuniko: "Wait, why would such a thing hang around at a Wildlife Preserve?"
(10:40:07 PM) Nasturtium: "Because it's more like a monster factory."
(10:40:30 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey, wait a minute... isn't there a spell that calls Bebiliths?"
(10:40:45 PM) Crystal: Here bebe, bebe, bebe.....
(10:40:49 PM) Kuniko: "I think so?"
(10:40:55 PM) Barzini: "You mean like a Summoning?"
(10:40:59 PM) ***Crystal makes unskilled hogcalling noise
(10:41:22 PM) ***Kuniko frowns while looking at Crystal, then turns to see if Mariko is doing anything.
(10:41:23 PM) Nasturtium: "Anyone cast from "Whatever there is of the appropriate type?""
(10:41:52 PM) ***Crystal can totally write magical poetry now
(10:42:09 PM) Barzini: "Might not be easy. These things are tough old bastards that can get away pretty easily."
(10:43:05 PM) Kuniko: ( Be right back, need to get a drink...or five. )
(10:43:09 PM) Nasturtium: (so.... I have no clue how Rammy was qualifying for Lurker in the Swarm before, given she's only now high enough level to have the required rank of KNature)
(10:44:19 PM) Hobbes: (Because Koumei doesn't give a rat's ass about skills, probably?)
(10:44:30 PM) Nasturtium: (...possibly)
(10:44:39 PM) Crystal: So if they can get away easy, we just have to convince it to stay until it's too late
(10:44:55 PM) Nasturtium: "Well I think there's a chance of it attacking the caster"
(10:46:03 PM) Crystal: Before or after you cut its sac off?
(10:46:03 PM) Barzini: "Well, whatever. With my new powers I feel strong enough to take on anything today. I love being STRONG."
(10:46:05 PM) Kuniko: ( Back )
(10:46:09 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Okay then, Captain. Just warning you, there is word that there are some pretty powerful beasts out there."
(10:46:22 PM) Nasturtium: "Good. We can use the XP"
(10:46:31 PM) Kuniko: "Poweful beasts? Doesn't sound too bad."
(10:47:04 PM) ***Sparkles wanders off to find the parts she needs
(10:47:29 PM) Kuniko: "I wonder if I should let Mariko come along. Her spells might be useful."
(10:47:31 PM) Barzini: "And that eating contest must have given Johnny some nutrition he was missing out on, just look at the size of him!"
(10:47:47 PM) Crystal: That is one fine looking pool shark
(10:47:59 PM) Crystal: You should get him a bigger table now
(10:48:22 PM) Crystal: Maybe with bumpers or flashing lights
(10:48:33 PM) Barzini: "He'll need a bigger table and a bigger pool cue for sure."
(10:48:44 PM) Crystal: Or halflings inside the balls
(10:49:24 PM) ***Kuniko gives a slight glance at Hobbes. "...this is bad comedy. Agreed?"
(10:50:21 PM) Hobbes: "I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about. I can't imagine any of my coworkers joking on the job."
(10:51:08 PM) ***Kuniko frowns at this. "...never mind."
(10:51:32 PM) ***Kuniko decides to just telepathically explain that what they were talking about is nonsensical in her opinion.
(10:51:39 PM) Kuniko: ( Explain to Hobbes, that is. )
(10:52:08 PM) ***Barzini notices Kuniko hasn't been speaking to him since their contract, and starts to say something, but then gets caught up thinking back to it...
(10:52:28 PM) Crystal: So, aside from those spiffy wings, what sort of new powers are you bursting with ?
(10:52:48 PM) ***Kuniko suddenly grabs Barzini and drags him to her cabin, making sure nobody else follows.
(10:52:53 PM) Barzini: "... eh... huh? Wha?"
(10:53:11 PM) Crystal: You've been boasting all morning....
(10:54:05 PM) ***Barzini grins at his kidnapper. "What's up, Kuniko? If this is about more protection for Mariko, it's gonna cost ya."
(10:54:28 PM) Kuniko: ( Did he already cop the feel? XD )
(10:54:48 PM) Barzini: (I would guess, assuming today is a new day.)
(10:55:01 PM) Kuniko: ( Oh, then forget that kidnapping even happened )
(10:55:12 PM) Kuniko: ( I thought he had forgotten it or something. )
(10:55:16 PM) Barzini: ('k.)
(10:55:32 PM) Kuniko: ( So Kuniko's still telepathically explaining stuff to Hobbes. )
(10:56:05 PM) ***Hobbes shows no outward sign of acknowledging the explanation at all.
(10:56:27 PM) ***Barzini is daydreaming about the moment, and it's almost like it's happening again! And then he snaps out of it and finds himself talking to Crystal. "Yeah, all morning... what were we talking about again?"
(10:56:55 PM) Crystal: The fire decals on your wings
(10:57:07 PM) ***Kuniko notices Barzini blanking out, suddenly talking to him telepathically instead. "Focus on what Crystal is saying."
(10:57:59 PM) ***Barzini tries to look to look at his wings. "They're pretty new and kinda sore from when I slept on them, but the minions think they're nice!"
(10:58:07 PM) Barzini: (-redundancy)
(10:58:38 PM) Crystal: Maybe you should stretch them out with some flying
(10:59:02 PM) ***Kuniko realizes that Mariko might have not noticed Kuniko's own wings...or maybe she was distracted by the boobs.
(10:59:29 PM) ***Barzini stretches the wings a bit then tries a little bit of non-booze flight.
(10:59:31 PM) ***Crystal grabs Barzetta's hand and tries to drag him aloft
(10:59:33 PM) ***Kuniko then looks at Hobbes, a slight bit of a mischievous grin on her face. "By the way, have you noticed anything new?"
(10:59:47 PM) ***Barzini blinks and tries to keep up.
(11:00:07 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Yeah, Kuniko has a pair of pumpkins of her own!)
(11:00:22 PM) Kuniko: ( Exactly what she is getting at )
(11:00:43 PM) Hobbes: "Barzini has new wings, of course. The shark got bigger. There's a few new crew members onboard. Am I missing anything?"
(11:01:19 PM) Kuniko: "Are you sure those are the only new things?"
(11:02:04 PM) ***Barzini holds hands with Crystal and flies around on open seas around the ship a bit."This is pretty fun!"
(11:02:08 PM) Mister_Cavern: At any rate, very soon, Eltrut Isle, located on the equator, is coming into view. It looks kind of large compared to the other islands, and there does seem to be rocky mountainous terrain, along with the usual beaches and desert. Also there are some big flying things out in the distance.
(11:02:09 PM) Hobbes: "I don't see anything else new. Maybe you're referring to something belowdecks?"
(11:02:41 PM) Kuniko: "Never mind." *Looks at the island instead*
(11:02:43 PM) ***Nasturtium walks up and points Hobbes' head at Kuniko's rack
(11:03:09 PM) Kuniko: ( lol, she's looking at the island while her pumpkins are being stared at :U )
(11:03:26 PM) Hobbes: "...Kuniko got new clothes?"
(11:03:38 PM) Hobbes: "They look the same as the old ones."
(11:03:49 PM) Barzini: (Excellent)
(11:03:49 PM) Kuniko: ( Hobbes' obliviousness wins. )
(11:04:06 PM) Kuniko: ( Is that even a word? Obliviousness )
(11:04:30 PM) Sparkles: (it is now)
(11:04:49 PM) Kuniko: "These are the same clothes..."*Notices it's both Hobbes and Nast staring, and she steps back a bit*
(11:05:16 PM) Hobbes: "Are you sure? I think these ones might be a size or two smaller."
(11:05:47 PM) Kuniko: "No, they're the same. Same size, same dull grey color and same slight cuts on the sleeves."
(11:06:04 PM) Hobbes: "I think there's also some around the shoulders, now."
(11:06:05 PM) ***Kuniko feels annoyed by the oblivious nature of the pumpkinhead.
(11:06:21 PM) Kuniko: "...it's still the same."
(11:06:26 PM) Nax: (don't make fun of a classic horror creatre >>)
(11:06:30 PM) Nasturtium: "Want me to just shove his head in?"
(11:06:42 PM) Kuniko: "...you sure that would work?"
(11:07:04 PM) ***Barzini has a look at the other things flying around while he's in the sky, particularly the large things around Eltrut Isle.
(11:07:08 PM) ***Kuniko is not mentally prepared for Nast's suggestion.
(11:07:21 PM) Nasturtium: "Don't know, lets try" *shoves Hobbes' face into Kuniko's marshmallow hell*
(11:07:23 PM) Crystal: Watch out for the rigging!
(11:07:44 PM) ***Kuniko blushes a bit, not sure of Hobbes' reaction.
(11:08:31 PM) ***Barzini immediately gets distracted by the ongoings on deck. "She's buying Hobbes out too! The whole crew is going to be converted to her shrine!"
(11:08:46 PM) Crystal: Wait what?
(11:08:57 PM) ***Crystal swoops down for a closer look
(11:09:29 PM) ***Kuniko yells out loud at Barzini. "This has nothing to do with that stupid little contract, you darned pervert!!"
(11:09:53 PM) ***Hobbes stumbles slightly as he's shoved into Kuniko's chest. Placing his hands on her shoulders, he slowly pushes himself away. "Oh, ha ha. Trick the tall guy into leaning over the short person just to give him a shove? How very professional."
(11:10:16 PM) ***Kuniko looks at Hobbes as he suddenly pushes himself away. "...are you okay?"
(11:10:31 PM) Nasturtium: "Hobbes, that corporate sexual harassment training worked to well."
(11:11:00 PM) Hobbes: "I'm fine. I'll just need a few minutes with Lilith for stress relief before we make port. She's such a good listener."
(11:11:05 PM) ***Kuniko looks up to glare at Barzini. "Next time you yell, YOU will be the one I'll whip the hell out of!!"
(11:11:30 PM) ***Kuniko then turns her attention to Hobbes. "Who is Lilith?"
(11:11:31 PM) ***Barzini has a bit of an albatross landing, running a bit to come to a complete stop.
(11:11:49 PM) Nasturtium: "Wait, can you even sexually harass people, Hobbes? Here, grab my ass..."
(11:12:22 PM) Kuniko: "Captain...ass-grabbing aside, who is Lilith?"
(11:12:51 PM) ***Hobbes shrugs and grabs Nasturtium in the least sensual way imaginable. "Like this? Maybe this would be easier if you told me what this is supposed to accomplish."
(11:12:52 PM) Nasturtium: "I think she's Hobbes' cohort."
(11:12:53 PM) Barzini: "Ah, didn't mean for you to hear me, I was just trying to say it loud enough for Crystal to hear while we were in the air."
(11:13:21 PM) Nasturtium: "Hm... nope. Not feeling harassed yet. Professor Sparkles, we have a new experiment for you!"
(11:13:26 PM) Kuniko: "And why would Crystal need to hear?" *Really angry glare at Crystal*
(11:13:37 PM) Kuniko: *Not Crystal, at Hobbes*
(11:13:42 PM) Kuniko: ( FIX!! )
(11:13:56 PM) ***Crystal reminds Barzallion that she can commonicate telepathically, telepathetically
(11:14:12 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Sexual harrassment training? They train people in how to do that?)
(11:14:18 PM) Kuniko: ( It's possible )
(11:14:23 PM) Kuniko: "Hobbes."
(11:14:42 PM) ***Kuniko sends the captain a telepathic message. "Can I try training him with my whip?"
(11:14:51 PM) Hobbes: "You aren't still angry about that Fire Token, are you? I'm not even using it anymore."
(11:14:53 PM) Kuniko: ( She'd mean giving Hobbes the whip and have HIM whip Patiki. )
(11:15:05 PM) Barzini: "Well... you want more followers, right?"
(11:15:09 PM) Nasturtium: (More like how not to. Apparently we need it at work...)
(11:15:21 PM) Kuniko: "You can give it to me, then. But I have something else in mind. *Shows her whip* You do know why I have this, right?"
(11:15:33 PM) Nasturtium: (I wish they trained people how to not feel sexually harassed, seems much more useful)
(11:15:42 PM) Barzini: (Frigging signed.)
(11:15:50 PM) ***Kuniko looks at Barzini while still talking to Hobbes. "Yes, but not with just sex appeal."
(11:16:00 PM) Hobbes: "Diciplinary issues with the crew."
(11:16:10 PM) Kuniko: ( I think people should also be trained to sexually harass only with safety words. )
(11:16:26 PM) ***Barzini furrows his brow, "What was your shrine supposed to be about again?"
(11:16:27 PM) Kuniko: "I have secondary reasons. Could you imagine them in any way?"
(11:16:48 PM) Nasturtium: (yes! I need a shirt that says "if you're feeling sexually harassed, the safe word is Supercalifragilistic)
(11:16:51 PM) ***Kuniko answers to Barzini again. "What do you mean?"
(11:17:10 PM) Hobbes: "...You're planning on multi-classing into some kind of trip-fighter build?"
(11:17:11 PM) ***Sparkles appears before Nasturtium, with a slight "boom" signaling post-Mach speeds. "Experiment???"
(11:17:14 PM) Barzini: "What's the portfolio. What are your followers supposed to be there for?"
(11:17:28 PM) ***Nasturtium sighs, "No, you big scarecrow, this is sexual harassment!" and gropes Hobbes' crotch
(11:17:34 PM) Kuniko: "No!! I get turned on by it!! Do you even know what that means?!"
(11:17:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: So, all too soon, the ship/Rammy slides onto the sandy shore. It looks like there is a sort of minor fortress set up. Or rather, there is a wall enclosing most of the island, with... entrances/bastions that are about the size of kiosks
(11:17:43 PM) Hobbes: "You're secretly an android?"
(11:17:48 PM) ***Kuniko is suddenly stunned by seeing the captain sexually harass Hobbes.
(11:18:11 PM) ***Barzini isn't, as he was already just sharked.
(11:18:21 PM) ***Nasturtium says to Sparkles "we need to find out if it's possible for Hobbes to sexually harass someone."
(11:18:22 PM) Mister_Cavern: ...FFS. Anyone want to give me ~$200 so I can buy a new tablet?
(11:18:30 PM) Nasturtium: ...me first?
(11:18:35 PM) Barzini: (+1)
(11:18:41 PM) Kuniko: "...wait, there's a fortress here too?"
(11:18:48 PM) Barzini: (I've been thinking I may need a tablet to finish a project of mine..)
(11:19:02 PM) Kuniko: "And I hope Mariko didn't hear that one thing I just said." ( Her expression right now... X__X )
(11:19:07 PM) Nasturtium: (protip: don't put plates on your tablet)
(11:19:21 PM) Mister_Cavern: It's just that the cord is a piece of shit
(11:19:23 PM) Sparkles: "I... see? Does Hobbes even have reproductive capacity?"
(11:19:30 PM) Barzini: "Wait, you were turned on by that Kuniko?"
(11:19:38 PM) ***Crystal blinks
(11:19:58 PM) Nasturtium: "That's what I'm wondering... I don't know if what I'm feeling is dick or... infrastructure..."
(11:20:13 PM) ***Kuniko responds to Barzini telepathically. "I like whipping Patiki. Now shut up."
(11:20:24 PM) Sparkles: "I guess we could set up an MRI. As long as he doesn't have any built-in metal components."
(11:20:54 PM) Sparkles: "Most of the cyclotron components are going into the new main engine core though."
(11:20:59 PM) Nasturtium: "Hobbes, when we get back to ship, report to Rammys' and my private chamber"
(11:21:04 PM) Hobbes: "I've sewn a few of my magic items into my chest. That might be an issue."
(11:21:14 PM) Barzini: "I still don't understand what the shrine has to offer to followers if not the obvious thing..."
(11:21:15 PM) Kuniko: "Captain, are you sure that will work?"
(11:21:29 PM) Nasturtium: "Should be fun, at least"
(11:21:33 PM) Kuniko: "Barzini, I am considering that but it's NOT the only function!!"
(11:21:52 PM) Nasturtium: "What's that, Kuniko, your shrine is for fucking?"
(11:21:55 PM) Kuniko: "Shrines are for the deities of the shrine, not for wanton things such as those."
(11:22:03 PM) Crystal: It's..what's the word....multipurpose
(11:22:07 PM) Kuniko: "I don't know anymore!! DX "
(11:22:11 PM) ***Barzini scratches the back of his head.
(11:22:15 PM) Nasturtium: "But what if the diety is one *of* fucking?"
(11:22:26 PM) Kuniko: "Are you implying I am going to end up that way?"
(11:22:38 PM) Nasturtium: (ok, I think Nast and Rammy are updated correctly)
(11:22:42 PM) Nasturtium: "End up?"
(11:22:43 PM) Kuniko: "...for all I know, you'd be donating a lot if it went that way..."
(11:23:08 PM) Kuniko: "...if things go as they should, I'll be a fire deity of some sort...with a large bust."
(11:23:28 PM) ***Barzini deadpans at Kuniko, "...fire?"
(11:23:42 PM) Nasturtium: (I'm not sure if I want to finish out Net of the Pirate Kings...)
(11:23:44 PM) Crystal: Like hotness
(11:23:47 PM) ***Crystal winks
(11:23:48 PM) Kuniko: "I need to pick SOME domains, don't I?" *Frowns at Barzini*
(11:23:56 PM) Kuniko: ( And she does have Fire Mage levels )
(11:23:58 PM) ***Sparkles , on conditioned reflex, runs over to one of the cannons, loads it, and activates it
(11:24:19 PM) Nasturtium: "Damnit, Sparkles! It's only when I say it!"
(11:24:31 PM) Barzini: "Boring! The domain I value is Wealth."
(11:24:33 PM) Mister_Cavern: The cannon does indeed fire... cracking one of the fortress walls
(11:24:36 PM) Sparkles: "Sorry!"
(11:24:36 PM) Kuniko: "I wonder what would have happened if I had done that."
(11:24:40 PM) Nasturtium: [Rammy] "Though it did feel good, Nast-y."
(11:24:44 PM) Hobbes: "Maybe Kuniko should discipline her for it later. She seems very interested in the subject."
(11:24:47 PM) ***Crystal dives for cover
(11:24:58 PM) Kuniko: "Wait, discpline who?"
(11:25:03 PM) Kuniko: *She's suddenly grinning a bit*
(11:25:19 PM) Hobbes: "Crystal. For firing the cannon on Barzini's orders instead of the captain's."
(11:25:24 PM) Nasturtium: "That'll have to wait, Sparkles needs to help me experiment on you."
(11:25:55 PM) Crystal: That wasn't me....
(11:25:56 PM) Kuniko: "Wait, wasn't it Sparkles who fired? And..."
(11:26:02 PM) ***Crystal comes up pointing at Sparkles
(11:26:04 PM) Hobbes: "I always get them confused."
(11:26:08 PM) Sparkles: "I'll get the car battery. Although we seem to be out of biospiral conduits, so we'll just have to use power cables."
(11:26:17 PM) ***Kuniko telepathically sends a message to the captain. "Don't change too much on Hobbes, alright?"
(11:26:29 PM) ***Barzini jumps slightly at the cannon going off. "... they know we're here now, don't they."
(11:26:33 PM) Crystal: Oh, Mr. Pumpkinhead, we're easy to tell apart
(11:26:34 PM) Hobbes: "Regardless, I think we have more pressing issues right now. Fortified ones."
(11:26:42 PM) Crystal: I'm the cute one, she's the smart one
(11:26:46 PM) Barzini: "We'll talk about the boobie shrine later I guess, better gear up now!"
(11:27:00 PM) ***Nasturtium looks over to the fort where guards are probably watching the ship from, very confused
(11:27:07 PM) Sparkles: "I thought I was cute too..."

(11:27:55 PM) Crystal: But Sparkles, you're only like cute-cute
(11:28:00 PM) ***Kuniko turns to look at the fort, though kind of hoping for a reply from the captain.
(11:28:40 PM) ***Nasturtium thinks back "We'll see how things go. He may get a gift from my Santa Sack of Cock."
(11:29:10 PM) ***Barzini asks Stapler to zoom in and report what she sees.
(11:29:24 PM) ***Kuniko replies to the reply. "I am not sure how I should take that..."
(11:29:42 PM) Mister_Cavern: Indeed, while the party makes implications at one another, compares cuteness and the like, the smoke starts to clear from the blast in the wall. Already, a group of armoured fellows - their armour shining and GLEAMING with light - start to step out.
(11:29:46 PM) ***Nasturtium thinks "We can't have a non-molestable crew member!"
(11:30:06 PM) Nasturtium: "Don't I own this place?"
(11:30:24 PM) ***Kuniko thinks back to Nast. "But I want to molest him!!"
(11:30:30 PM) Kuniko: ( ...she admitted :U )
(11:30:30 PM) Crystal: They probably just don't know it yet
(11:30:52 PM) Mister_Cavern: What lies in store for the team? What do these fellows have to do with monster production? Will Hobbes end up getting a grafted dong? Will Kuniko and Sparkles have some kind of session that sounds JUST LIKE a game I'd run?
(11:30:54 PM) ***Nasturtium thinks in reply "All the more reason?"
(11:31:00 PM) ***Barzini makes the obligatory OotS pun, "This ought to be Good."
(11:31:06 PM) Mister_Cavern: Find out in the next exciting episode of TENGEN TOPPA FRIENDSHIP PUNCH!
(11:31:14 PM) Nasturtium: aww... are we ending?
(11:31:21 PM) Kuniko: I'd need to go in 30 mins anyway
(11:31:23 PM) Mister_Cavern: yeah. I'm just not in the mood for it
(11:31:27 PM) Hobbes: Wow. New record for not getting stuff done today.
(11:31:28 PM) Mister_Cavern is now known as Koumei
(11:31:29 PM) Nasturtium: ah, sorry
(11:31:29 PM) Hobbes: Oh, well.
(11:31:31 PM) Kuniko: I was worried this would happen
(11:31:33 PM) Hobbes is now known as Chamomile
(11:31:33 PM) ***Crystal is disappointed
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

You should gain sanity for finding out that the problems of a region are because there are fucking monsters there.
Killed the Bebilith, dug up a jackal lord who agreed to help the team get worshippers (him being a member of Divine Power PLC, DBA The Cleric Association), and then dug up whatshisname the tin can ghost. They argued a bit and he was forcefully abducted into the party and unable to leave it.

Logpost:
Edit: adding missing week's log to this post so it's all in chronological order:
(10:15:09 PM) Nax: am I the only one that see the irony of all this in a Disgaea D'n'D game?
(10:15:10 PM) Quantumboost is now known as Sparkles
(10:15:19 PM) You are now known as Crystal
(10:15:19 PM) Chamomile is now known as Hobbes
(10:15:34 PM) Hobbes: ((Disgaea and Deniers?))
(10:15:48 PM) Prak is now known as Nasturtium
(10:15:58 PM) Hobbes: ((Make an ignorance check to ignore video evidence!))
(10:15:59 PM) Icyshadow is now known as Kuniko
(10:16:01 PM) Nax: (Disgaea and D'n'D and wars and racial things, pretty much....it's not obvious, but it's there >>)
(10:16:24 PM) Koumei is now known as Mister_Cavern
(10:17:15 PM) Nasturtium: (( heh http://www.tshirthell.com/funny-shirts/jesus-returns/ ))
(10:17:31 PM) Crystal: (( Well Disagaea overlords would be proud of their genocide - denying it would be belittling themselves ))
(10:17:55 PM) Kuniko: (( True. ))
(10:18:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: When last we left off, the party had just blown a hole in the wall on Eltrut Island. Armoured figures emerge, looking wary and wielding sharp things. "Halt! What's going on here?"
(10:18:32 PM) Nasturtium: "We're here to pick up a bebilith sac"
(10:18:56 PM) Sparkles: "Hello! We're just here to loot and corporate takover your island!"
(10:19:00 PM) Sparkles: "Pay us no mind."
(10:19:07 PM) ***Kuniko looks at the sharp things the armored guys are holding."
(10:20:02 PM) ***Hobbes shoulders his scythe and non-chalantly saunters past the guards.
(10:20:25 PM) ***Nasturtium draws her pistols, "Anyone feel like meeting the new boss?"
(10:20:26 PM) Crystal: We're arguing about who's cutest
(10:20:30 PM) Mister_Cavern: They're wielding rapiers and long spears, despite being armoured up in the way that typically involves warhammers and greatswords
(10:20:43 PM) ***Kuniko decides to follow Hobbes, seeing that the guards didn't attack him either.
(10:20:59 PM) Nasturtium: "What category is space marine armour?"
(10:21:34 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Wait... corporate takeover? Do you really care that much for this cause, feel so strongly that you need to take over and run it yourselves?"
(10:21:44 PM) Mister_Cavern: They actually seem a little more relaxed and hopeful about this
(10:22:00 PM) ***Kuniko stops and turns to look at the guards. "What are you talking about?"
(10:22:21 PM) Nasturtium: "Well... it's more like a motif. We're really just here so I can buy a prettier corset than her's..."
(10:22:30 PM) Nasturtium: "But, yeah, what're your troubles?"
(10:22:38 PM) ***Crystal models ruby corset
(10:22:47 PM) Mister_Cavern: *twinkle*
(10:22:52 PM) ***Crystal does the pageant walk
(10:23:13 PM) Sparkles: ((...oh shit they're vampires!))
(10:23:22 PM) Kuniko: (( KILL THEM WITH FIRE!! )
(10:23:24 PM) Sparkles: ((...wait. That was the corset twinkling, wasn't it?))
(10:23:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: Yes, it was the corset
(10:23:35 PM) Kuniko: (( ...oh. False Alarm. ))
(10:23:41 PM) ***Crystal is not a vampire
(10:23:47 PM) Mister_Cavern: "We are HARM - Human Activists for Rare Monsters! Our job is to protect all rare monsters so they don't go extinct, so we try to keep them here in a safe environment!"
(10:24:24 PM) Nasturtium: "So... you *Are* going to stand in the way of me getting a bebilith sac?"
(10:24:31 PM) ***Nasturtium cocks guns
(10:24:33 PM) Mister_Cavern: "At least... that's the plan. But we've bungled a few missions, and now we're on our last chance. If our current one fails, our paladin powers will be stripped from us, I'm afraid." "So we really could do with a better director."
(10:24:54 PM) Crystal: Ohhhh, Palladjinns
(10:24:55 PM) Kuniko: "Paladins, huh?"
(10:25:06 PM) ***Hobbes wishes for more wishes.
(10:25:07 PM) Sparkles: "Don't worry captain, I'm sure we can work out a method for nonlethal extraction of body parts."
(10:25:20 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Wait what? Bebiliths, they're not rare, there's an infinite number. Go right ahead." "There's one on the island, we have it walled in but it often breaks free and eats the monsters."
(10:25:33 PM) Nasturtium: "Oh, ok."
(10:25:39 PM) Kuniko: "Problem solved?"
(10:25:53 PM) ***Crystal blinks
(10:26:06 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Actually that could really help - it's the main thing killing our protected wards." Their leader points to the giant eagles in the sky.
(10:26:19 PM) Nasturtium: "I guess. What have you bungled, exactly?"
(10:27:17 PM) Mister_Cavern: "These are the last four rocs on the entire plane. There use to be four more. And well... given Charmanders, Putties and Behemoths are already extinct because we failed... basically, if rocs die, everyone falls"
(10:27:21 PM) Mister_Cavern: :3c
(10:27:59 PM) Nasturtium: "...can I shoot him for that pun?"
(10:28:02 PM) Kuniko: "Do tell, how many of those things are male, and how many are female?"
(10:29:13 PM) Nasturtium: "Wait a minute! I've got it. We have plenty of demons on board, and as the vast amount of half fiend types shows, demons can breed with anything!"
(10:29:32 PM) ***Crystal was wondering how long it would take the captain to go there
(10:29:41 PM) Kuniko: "...wait, you aren't suggesting what I think you are suggesting?"
(10:29:43 PM) ***Sparkles aside, "At least he's not going on about half-Celestials..."
(10:29:48 PM) Hobbes: "Question: What do you use your paladin powers for?"
(10:30:09 PM) Nasturtium: "Oh yeah... celestials can do it too..."
(10:30:20 PM) Crystal: I also wonder why you keep the hungry Bebbe-liffy on the same island with your rare monsters?
(10:30:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Uh... two and two. They can make a few clutches and get things going again..." "I think we'd rather them be normal rocs, not templated. Besides, everyone knows half fiends and half celestials aren't made that way."
(10:30:52 PM) ***Crystal doesn't think the captain knows
(10:30:53 PM) Nasturtium: "Really? has this been tested?"
(10:30:58 PM) Kuniko: "Celestial rocs sound interesting..."
(10:30:58 PM) ***Crystal nor cares much
(10:31:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: "We don't exactly KEEP it there. It just came here and we can't get rid of it."
(10:31:17 PM) Nasturtium: "And why aren't the rocs fucking on their own?
(10:31:18 PM) Nasturtium: "
(10:31:31 PM) Nasturtium: "If it's a question of motivation..."
(10:31:35 PM) ***Nasturtium cocks her guns
(10:31:38 PM) Kuniko: "Maybe a druid can affect them."
(10:31:55 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Generally they need to stay in the sky so the bebilith doesn't get them"
(10:31:56 PM) Nasturtium: "I'm pretty sure a druid has to be epic to take magical beast form"
(10:31:57 PM) Sparkles: "We *do* have a Pokemaster on board."
(10:32:23 PM) Crystal: Ohhh ohhhh
(10:32:33 PM) Hobbes: "Where's the bebilith?"
(10:33:12 PM) Crystal: so we just need to fly up and drag one down to the ground to get the Babbalith to come out
(10:33:36 PM) Nasturtium: "Wait, bebiliths hunt other demons..."
(10:33:42 PM) Mister_Cavern: One of them points out towards the mountain in the middle of the island. "That way. You might see a big old broken tower, that's where we tried to trap it. None of us has the ability to make forcecages though, so... yeah"
(10:33:46 PM) ***Nasturtium eyes the nearest demon crew member
(10:33:52 PM) Crystal: Oh, like we don't
(10:34:31 PM) Hobbes: "First, the hunter will become the hunted. Then, the hunter of the hunted hunter will become the hunted."
(10:34:48 PM) Kuniko: "And life goes on..."
(10:34:49 PM) Crystal: Huhn?
(10:35:29 PM) Nasturtium: "Show us to the rocs!"
(10:36:08 PM) Nax: ( *points to the ground* )
(10:36:19 PM) ***Kuniko spreads her wings a bit, getting ready to go.
(10:37:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Uh... the rocs? You see up there? The things with the feathers."
(10:37:36 PM) Kuniko: "Are they territorial?"
(10:37:43 PM) Kuniko: ( Of course they are. :U )
(10:37:45 PM) ***Hobbes heads towards the bebilith.
(10:37:53 PM) ***Nasturtium looks up "I meant take us to where they roost."
(10:38:29 PM) Mister_Cavern: "They don't really roost much these days, but they used to pick the peak of the mountain there."
(10:38:29 PM) ***Crystal flaps toward Rocs, then changes direction towards broken tower, then circles back to Nasturtles
(10:39:43 PM) ***Nasturtium sighs, "I need wings. Hmm... I wonder if I can summon minor templated sea turtles..."
(10:40:00 PM) ***Nasturtium closes her eyes and focuses on calling sea turtles with wings
(10:40:14 PM) Crystal: (( fizzy lifting drink swift fly ))
(10:40:21 PM) Nasturtium: ...oh yeah...
(10:40:36 PM) ***Nasturtium is still trying to summon flying turtles
(10:40:53 PM) ***Hobbes pulls Lilith from hammerspace before he forgets.
(10:41:04 PM) ***Kuniko looks at Lilith with a frown.
(10:41:04 PM) Nasturtium: "wait, wait. I just remembered my first thought on learning the island's name..."
(10:41:28 PM) Nasturtium: "Bah, fuck it."
(10:41:33 PM) ***Nasturtium activates swift fly
(10:41:41 PM) Crystal: (( http://th08.deviantart.net/fs30/150/i/2 ... osaurx.jpg ))
(10:41:43 PM) Kuniko: "So, this is Lilith?"
(10:41:45 PM) Nasturtium: "It's just not as stylish, you know?"
(10:41:56 PM) Nasturtium: ((lol))
(10:42:31 PM) Nasturtium: (( http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cuaW1BLkK8k/S ... design.jpg ))
(10:43:17 PM) ***Hobbes never consumes any kind of food or drink in public. Instead, Lilith uses the swift fly ability and Hobbes rides her like a surfboard.
(10:44:05 PM) ***Kuniko flies after Hobbes, not bothering to ask as the catgirl is nothing but a surfboard apparently.
(10:44:59 PM) ***Sparkles flies along with the rest of the party
(10:45:00 PM) Nasturtium: Rammy flies up on a giant bee
(10:45:59 PM) Hobbes: ((Hm. I kind of wish I had a knight character now, just so that I could have a giant, armored beeeeeeeeee as a mount.))
(10:46:40 PM) Kuniko: (( Take a Knight level for the hell of it? )
(10:47:53 PM) ***Nasturtium flies up to a roc "Alright, why aren't you all fucking? I mean, I know it's fun and all making paladins fall, but...."
(10:48:18 PM) ***Crystal wonders if Rocs speak
(10:48:32 PM) ***Hobbes is looking for the bebilith.
(10:48:42 PM) ***Crystal thinks telepathetically at one to try to translate for the Captain
(10:48:52 PM) Nasturtium: ((....Rocs are animals now!?))
(10:49:13 PM) Kuniko: (( Aren't they always ))
(10:49:40 PM) Nasturtium: ((pretty sure they were magical beasts in 3e))
(10:49:49 PM) Nasturtium: ((maybe beasts, not sure))
(10:49:51 PM) Nasturtium: bah
(10:49:53 PM) Sparkles: ((Gargantuan Animal))
(10:50:26 PM) Kuniko: (( Welp. ))
(10:51:59 PM) Nasturtium: "Sigh, guess we need a druid or something. Can Pokemasters talk to rocs?"
(10:52:33 PM) Mister_Cavern: The rocs start to squawk at the sight of those approaching
(10:52:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: They look like they are possibly aggressive
(10:52:49 PM) Kuniko: "...I think we should back away."
(10:52:56 PM) Sparkles: "I don't think Animals are Pokemon..."
(10:53:05 PM) ***Kuniko is pretty sure that these birds WILL defend their roost.
(10:53:07 PM) Nasturtium: "Alright... to the bebilith."
(10:56:39 PM) ***Crystal waits to see if Rocs approach closer
(10:56:55 PM) ***Kuniko telepathically tells Crystal to back off.
(10:58:18 PM) ***Crystal thinks back "We just need one to follow"
(10:59:00 PM) ***Kuniko thinks in turn. "Why?"
(10:59:26 PM) ***Nasturtium mounts up a spare giant bee Rammy brought. "You know, these things fly faster than the mushrooms make us fly..."
(10:59:53 PM) ***Crystal "To get the Babylaugh to pounce so we don't have to search for it"
(11:00:28 PM) ***Nasturtium flies off to the tower
(11:00:43 PM) ***Kuniko "...I doubt we need to. It will just pounce on a bee anyway."
(11:02:42 PM) Nasturtium: ((*pokes the MC* take more drugs))
(11:03:19 PM) Sparkles: "Or on *us*."
(11:06:46 PM) Mister_Cavern: The rocs circle about warily, rather concerned about the party members
(11:07:09 PM) ***Crystal gingerly approaches closer
(11:07:11 PM) ***Sparkles goes to scout out the bebilith's "prison"
(11:07:21 PM) ***Kuniko looks at the rocs curiously, wondering why they are circling around.
(11:07:37 PM) Kuniko: ( Kuniko's mind: "Wait, are they waiting to swoop down and eat us?! D= " )
(11:07:39 PM) Mister_Cavern: But if the party backs off, the birds don't pursue them, just squawking a bit. If Crystal does in fact get closer, one will try to claw her face off.
(11:08:03 PM) ***Crystal shows off her cleavage to the nearest Roc ((Padded Braissere DC 21 fascinate attempt))
(11:08:12 PM) Kuniko: (( ... lol. ))
(11:09:13 PM) Mister_Cavern: The desert ahead... contains sand. Lots of sand. Black sand, yellow sand, grey sand, orange sand, red sand... and moving, shifting shapes in the sands. But if people are flying, there is no risk
(11:09:34 PM) Mister_Cavern: (24 on a Save vs Boobies, followed by a 33 to claw her, and 17 damage if that hits)
(11:09:48 PM) ***Crystal bleeds a bit
(11:10:06 PM) Kuniko: "Damn it, Crystal..."
(11:10:25 PM) Kuniko: ( Is the bird going to attack her a second time? )
(11:10:51 PM) ***Crystal retreats towards Sparkles at top speed
(11:13:58 PM) ***Crystal really hopes her top speed outpace giant sex-hating bird
(11:14:23 PM) Sparkles: ((Birds don't have mammaries D: ))
(11:14:40 PM) ***Kuniko tries to scare the bird away IF it intends to chase Crystal.
(11:14:55 PM) Kuniko: ( So that's a 1d20 roll with a +12 Intimidate. )
(11:15:06 PM) ***Nasturtium twists around on top of the bee "Wings aren't integral to birds mating, right?"
(11:16:38 PM) ***Crystal thought birds liked shiny rubies
(11:17:20 PM) Mister_Cavern: The bird screeches once more, but does not chase
(11:17:46 PM) Mister_Cavern: Also, it catches fire slightly from the flicker of red light
(11:18:10 PM) Crystal: (( heh ))
(11:18:11 PM) Kuniko: "...what the hell."
(11:18:13 PM) Mister_Cavern: Anyway, presumably, people fly on over the sandfields?
(11:18:22 PM) Nasturtium: yep
(11:18:56 PM) Sparkles: yes
(11:19:03 PM) Crystal: SPAAAARKLESSSS!!!!!
(11:19:04 PM) Hobbes: ((Yes))
(11:19:42 PM) Kuniko: (( seY ))
(11:19:46 PM) Sparkles: "wat"
(11:20:18 PM) Crystal: It scratched me!!!! Help please please.
(11:20:31 PM) Sparkles: "You provoked it, didn't you?"
(11:20:40 PM) ***Sparkles starts poking Crystal with her healyhands
(11:20:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: So you fly ONWARDS! Over the sand dunes, over the worms, and over the giant scorpions that look like they are deathstalking. Or stalking death. Or something. And over the large tunnel holes.
(11:20:44 PM) Crystal: I wasn't going to hurt it!!!
(11:21:21 PM) Sparkles: "Yes, but *it* didn't know that. You shouldn't flash large animals, it confuses and enrages them."
(11:21:29 PM) Sparkles: "There, all better"
(11:21:58 PM) Crystal: But careful with the poking - Fire Corset doesn't discriminate
(11:22:20 PM) ***Crystal probably should have mentioned that first
(11:22:57 PM) ***Sparkles is resistant
(11:23:04 PM) Crystal: (( 20 points of fire damage, Ref 21 for half ))
(11:23:14 PM) ***Sparkles wards
(11:23:27 PM) Sparkles: ((1d20+13 reflex))
(11:24:35 PM) Crystal: Sorrysorrysorry
(11:25:18 PM) Crystal: And I'm sorry I said such a mean thing about you before, you're the best friend an Empusa could have
(11:25:48 PM) Sparkles: "What are you talking about?"
(11:26:06 PM) Crystal: You got upset when I said you were the smart one
(11:26:27 PM) Sparkles: "Oh. Okay. Uh, thank you then!"
(11:27:23 PM) ***Nasturtium flies toward the bebilith tower, getting frustrated at the lack of things to shoot.
(11:27:49 PM) Crystal: But which of those deafstocking tunnel worms are rare and which is the one The Captain needs the sac from?
(11:27:59 PM) Kuniko: "Looks like that Bebilith isn't as aggressive as it seemed."
(11:28:17 PM) Kuniko: "Would have thought it would have pounced on us already."
(11:28:55 PM) Nasturtium: "I don't think we're close enough"
(11:29:52 PM) Mister_Cavern: Sparkles passes her save, resisting the fire somewhat
(11:29:54 PM) Crystal: Well it only eats the Rocs, not the Pallydjinns
(11:30:33 PM) Crystal: So maybe we're not enough of a meal for it?
(11:30:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: The tower, once reached, has had a big old chunk smashed out of it. It looks like they really couldn't do a good job of trapping the bastard there
(11:30:48 PM) Crystal: Or maybe it only likes giant chicken?
(11:31:23 PM) Kuniko: "Hmmm..."
(11:31:30 PM) Mister_Cavern: What are everyone's Spot modifiers?
(11:31:30 PM) Kuniko: "...what if we set the tower on fire?"
(11:31:41 PM) Kuniko: ( +4 Spot )
(11:31:53 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey! Bebilith! I want your sac for a new corset. If you make this easy, you can join the crew!"
(11:31:55 PM) ***Crystal now has a +0 Spot
(11:31:59 PM) Hobbes: ((+1 on Hobbes, +6 on Lilith))
(11:32:17 PM) Nasturtium: (+1 for both Nasturtium and Rammy)
(11:32:28 PM) Yuffie [yuffie@Nightstar-2592cc06.irvnca.pacbell.net] entered the room.

(11:33:13 PM) Nasturtium: "You'll have plenty of people to eat! We piss a lot of them off!"
(11:33:21 PM) Hobbes: ((So I guess the bebilith activates its cloaking device, then.))
(11:33:53 PM) Sparkles: (+10 spot)
(11:34:12 PM) Sparkles: (not that it apparently matters)
(11:34:39 PM) Mister_Cavern: ...yeah, with a roll like that >.<
(11:35:12 PM) ***Crystal knew we'd never find it via searching
(11:35:51 PM) Mister_Cavern: It all seems empty in there... until suddenly, from out of nowhere! "FRAAAA!" The Bebilith leaps out of stealth mode, deactivating thermoptic camouflage as it goes to bite... *random roll* Sparkles!
(11:35:53 PM) ***Nasturtium fires a shot of scorching ray into the tower

(12:21:58 AM) ***Kuniko is clearly worried about the slight decay on Hobbe's pumpkin head.
(12:21:58 AM) Mister_Cavern: So, it has slapped people about a bit, hurting those in melee with it, but now its turn is over... and its life probably will be over soon, too
(12:22:04 AM) Kuniko: Hobbes' *
(12:22:30 AM) Mister_Cavern: Sparkles!
(12:23:21 AM) ***Sparkles flies out of range, activates her Pretty Soldier form, and activates a Quickened Chained Delay Poison on the party
(12:23:45 AM) Sparkles: ((Poisons do not take effect for a few hours, ability damage remains))
(12:23:57 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is a sparkle of magical light shimmering over the party!
(12:24:03 AM) ***Sparkles does the Delay Poison first since she's provoking an AoO

(12:25:24 AM) Kuniko: ( Sorry guys )
(12:25:26 AM) Sparkles: ((With a ward anyway <_< ))
(12:25:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Well, it can't be helped I guess. We did start late. Seeya next time Kuniko)

(12:29:53 AM) ***Nasturtium ends turn
(12:31:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: And indeed, it pops open and falls apart, various... bits... collapsing all over the ground.

(12:31:37 AM) ***Crystal was perfecting her new draw
(12:31:51 AM) ***Nasturtium flies down to retrieve the poison sac
(12:32:03 AM) ***Crystal flourishes blades with a belated burst of speed
(12:32:17 AM) Mister_Cavern: That's pretty easy to do now - they're handy little bags attached to the fangs, and seem nicely sealed so that they won't go bad
(12:32:26 AM) Nasturtium: woot
(12:32:54 AM) Crystal: Nice shootin' Cap'n
(12:33:05 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is the sound of applause - one single person clapping
(12:33:17 AM) ***Nasturtium looks around
(12:33:55 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well done," a rather smooth, dry, Scar-like (as in, Lion King) voice says... from below. There appears to be a finely dressed jackal-headed gentleman buried to his armpits in the sand, with honey on his forehead.
(12:34:00 AM) ***Barzini lands with a little more grace than the last time. "Wings are really convenient, who knew?"
(12:34:05 AM) Crystal: Might you be a rare monster?
(12:34:16 AM) ***Sparkles starts pumping some Lesser Restoration into Hobbes, refreshing everybody as a side-effect.
(12:34:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: "That was the most remarkable work I have ever seen, but... is there a chance you could please help me out?"

(12:35:53 AM) Barzini: "I've never seen a demon like you."
(12:36:27 AM) Crystal: So he IS a rare monster then!!!
(12:36:28 AM) Mister_Cavern: "My name is Reverand Mertal. I am part of ClericCorp, DBA Divine Powers Ltd. Mostly we like to gather minions, and set up worship-and-power based pyramid schemes. But I sort of fell foul of the creatures here... which is embarrassing."
(12:37:33 AM) Nasturtium: "We're pirates, that would kind of make us competitors, wouldn't it?"
(12:37:34 AM) Barzini: "Hiring? I know somebody who would be into that."
(12:37:39 AM) ***Crystal wonders what shapes our schemes might be
(12:37:52 AM) ***Barzini thinks of the party member attached to the I-Cup bosoms he thinks of first.
(12:38:20 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well, we don't do the slavery thing, if that's what you mean... officially anyway. I understand some of us do it in their spare time. But not all."
(12:38:32 AM) ***Nasturtium suddenly pictures the gainaxing Kuniko would have been doing in aerial combat
(12:38:51 AM) Nasturtium: "I meant the pyramid scheme part. And all religion is slavery."
(12:40:04 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh right. Well, I would debate it with you, but I'd need charts and the like. Um... I suppose this means I'm stuck here then, doesn't it?
(12:40:24 AM) Crystal: If you're a rare monster, why didn't the Pallydjinns protect you?
(12:40:38 AM) ***Barzini stands over the half buried demon. "Got anything to offer us besides saving our souls?"
(12:40:39 AM) Nasturtium: "Well... I just came here for a poison sac to by a new corset, and I got two *holds them up*, what can you do for us?"
(12:41:04 AM) ***Crystal thinks

(12:47:41 AM) Nax: (Wait I remember that, nevermind)
(12:49:50 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Hmm... it depends what you're interested in. Corsetry... I know some others who like corsets and the sorts. I could set you up with a meeting with the board of directors, perhaps? Maybe a big group date thing?"
(12:50:12 AM) Mister_Cavern: [sign points to party: they already have "that sort of reputation"]
(12:50:26 AM) Hobbes: ((The Hell did that have to do with anything, Nast?))
(12:50:38 AM) Nasturtium: ((trolling you guys?))
(12:50:53 AM) Nasturtium: "We're more interested in power. We fulfil our own pervert quota, thanks."
(12:51:32 AM) Hobbes: ((Kind of a jump scare.))
(12:51:37 AM) Nasturtium: ((yeah))
(12:51:56 AM) ***Sparkles is currently mending her chain shirt/robe with magic while in her Sailor guise.
(12:52:21 AM) Hobbes: ((So, 0/10 just plain old shock images are more haunting than that.))
(12:52:39 AM) Nasturtium: ((it's not about haunting, it's about the jump scare))
(12:52:40 AM) Mister_Cavern: ((cool HTML/whatever effect though to make it skip like that))
(12:52:50 AM) Nasturtium: ((yeah))
(12:53:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Hmm. Yes, we can't really offer power that isn't a result of worship. I suppose I'll need to stay here then. Don't worry, I'm not really motivated enough to swear revenge."
(12:53:26 AM) Nasturtium: "Oh, well, I'm perfectly happy with *being* worshipped"
(12:53:30 AM) Hobbes: "What, are you cleric of the God of Apathy?"
(12:53:40 AM) Mister_Cavern: (( http://images.4chan.org/v/src/1328073948446.png ))
(12:53:56 AM) Nasturtium: ((lol))
(12:54:24 AM) Nasturtium: ((sad thing is, my life is sad enough that I've considered, fleetingly, getting one of those pillowcases....))
(12:54:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: "No, I follow the god of jackalkind. In general we all follow him. All jackalkind, that is. Even the regular dogs."
(12:54:26 AM) Nax: ( *facepalm* )
(12:54:45 AM) Nasturtium: "But could you get people to worship me?"
(12:55:14 AM) Crystal: That would be the god of horndogs
(12:55:23 AM) Mister_Cavern: "It would really be bad form, but I suppose if you had some kind of worshipper who was added to our board of directors..." He starts to look hopeful at this
(12:56:01 AM) Nasturtium: "Hmm... Ok, I'll pull you out if you agree to stay on as a consultant to get me a worshipper to put on your board."
(12:56:16 AM) Barzini: "We have someone who wants to be worshipped, but I think she's figured out the way to get the attention she seeks." he grins, "If she'd just stop being so shy about it."
(12:56:57 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well. I guess that sounds like a deal, then. Certainly, and I'll take time off my job to convert some people to your worship for the time being to hasten this."
(12:57:11 AM) Nasturtium: "Perfect."
(12:57:20 AM) Nasturtium: "Lets get digging, crew!"
(12:57:24 AM) ***Crystal makes Ice Shovels
(12:58:09 AM) Nasturtium: (( http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/ph ... 8_460s.jpg ))
(12:58:10 AM) ***Hobbes directs Lilith to begin digging. Shovel optional.
(12:58:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: One thing worth noting is that there are no actual ants in the area. The honey was a nice idea, but... you need actual ants for it to be more than an annoyance. Still, after some amount of digging, he is freed. His eyes gleam yellow in a non-magical way.
(12:58:52 AM) ***Barzini starts digging, "You know, worshippers wouldn't be too bad. Think you could get me on some of that?"
(12:59:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: "My thanks, and I am a man of my word. I will assist you in gaining divine influence in this Netherworld."
(12:59:29 AM) Barzini: (*in on)
(12:59:38 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I'm sure there are enough to go around, out there."
(12:59:41 AM) Nasturtium: (brb)
(1:00:25 AM) Barzini: "Good man, Mertal. Just keep your word and we won't make you walk the plank or anything."
(1:01:21 AM) Barzini: "DivineCorp. I bet you get good business from the Celestials."
(1:02:07 AM) Hobbes: "Who buried you here?"
(1:02:08 AM) Mister_Cavern: "You would think so, but they seem to be too bogged down in paperwork and bureaucracy these days, and not actual worship and divinity. It sickens me..." He turns to Sparkles. "Present company excluded of course."
(1:02:17 AM) Sparkles: "Of course."
(1:03:05 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well it's a bit embarrassing... I tried to do a little Planeshifting, and ended up out in the middle of the desert. And not precisely at ground level. When I fell, I landed on some kind of squirrel creature, and next thing I knew these brutish men were clobbering me..."
(1:03:27 AM) Crystal: Did they have heavy armor and rapiers?
(1:03:29 AM) Barzini: "Squirrels? Brutish men?"
(1:03:50 AM) Hobbes: "I think he helped kill one of the paladins' endangered species. Now we have to help him."
(1:03:54 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Yes, just as you say, miss! Heavy armour, pointy weapons. You've met these?"
(1:04:17 AM) Crystal: Yeah, they're the Pallydjinns who guard the rare and scratchy animals
(1:04:38 AM) Mister_Cavern: Once he's completely free, he dusts himself off. "And I think this is just their dumping grounds. You should see the trash they left lying underground there,"
(1:04:42 AM) Crystal: We were sort of helping them out
(1:05:00 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh my. I hope this won't complicate matters then."
(1:05:16 AM) Barzini: "Underground wherE?"
(1:05:19 AM) Hobbes: "Not really. Were we planning on killing the Rocs on our way out? I'd forgot to bring it up earlier."
(1:05:30 AM) Nasturtium: "Wait, doesn't this kind of thing constitute torture? Isn't that evil?"
(1:06:06 AM) Crystal: Well we should go back to get whatever reward we can from them for killing the Babarlith
(1:06:16 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Right under where I was. I think my foot got caught in the hinges of some kind of crate down there, and there were empty coconut shells and at least one needle"
(1:06:40 AM) ***Barzini furrows his brow, and starts digging in the pet.
(1:06:43 AM) Barzini: (*pit)
(1:06:50 AM) ***Nasturtium helps dig
(1:06:50 AM) ***Crystal goes back to digging
(1:07:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: (("What's that? Potential TREASAAR?"))
(1:07:08 AM) Crystal: We'll have to check this out
(1:07:18 AM) Nasturtium: ("DID SOMEBODY SAY BURIED TREASAR!!!!??!?!?")
(1:07:54 AM) Mister_Cavern: Indeed, there are empty coconuts - with straws in them. And some old newspapers. Tissues. A sewing needle (possibly discovered by jabbing a finger). And a massive coffin. Also a masterwork hat-stand and a waterclock.
(1:08:15 AM) ***Nasturtium pulls out the coffin
(1:08:40 AM) Crystal: Sweet +1 to hat storage!!!
(1:08:56 AM) Mister_Cavern: It's pretty big. And old. The chains holding it together have come loose, too.
(1:09:03 AM) Nasturtium: ((how much longer are we thinking of going?))
(1:09:21 AM) Crystal: This'll go great in my cabin!!!
(1:09:21 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Not too long - wrapping up soon, and then NEW ADVENTURE next week!)
(1:09:47 AM) Nasturtium: ((cool, I need to go to bed soon. Early early shift in school kitchen tomorrow))
(1:09:59 AM) ***Barzini keeps his eyes on the coffin. "Crystal do you even wear hats?"
(1:10:22 AM) ***Nasturtium opens the coffin a crack
(1:10:30 AM) ***Crystal has a glistening tiara on
(1:10:34 AM) Nax is now known as Fionnlagh
(1:10:43 AM) Crystal: Well, with this, I could start!!!
(1:10:54 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is a WHOOSH of ancient, dusty air, and the lid is hurled open. A cloud of miasma rises up, and then...
(1:11:01 AM) Nasturtium: "Hmm... I have been collecting more hats..."
(1:11:59 AM) Crystal: Wouldn't I look good in a Top hat?
(1:12:06 AM) Fionnlagh: Inside the coffin was a near full body plate of armor laying down arms crossed as if waiting for someone to pick it up, the only think odd that strikes attention is it's oddly white color and it's missing helmet
(1:12:13 AM) Fionnlagh: *thing
(1:12:53 AM) ***Sparkles uses her Life Sense to check if it's alive. Or undead.
(1:13:09 AM) Crystal: See see, somebody didn't store their headgear properly, and now it's missing from the fancy armor!! See!!
(1:13:44 AM) ***Nasturtium cocks her gun, leveling the perpetually smoking barrel of the scorching ray pistol at the ...thing.
(1:13:57 AM) Mister_Cavern: Bip bip bip [Undead Detected]
(1:13:58 AM) Barzini: "Seems pretty weird they'd bury the empty armor in a coffin."
(1:14:19 AM) ***Barzini Appraises the armor.
(1:14:57 AM) Crystal: I guess they just couldn't afford a proper mausoleum
(1:16:11 AM) Sparkles: "So it looks like this is some sort of armor zombie or something?"
(1:16:18 AM) Sparkles: "Or undead at any rate."
(1:16:23 AM) Crystal: A whatwhat now?
(1:16:27 AM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+13 Appraise, appraise, appraise the new undead
(1:16:28 AM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+13 Appraise, appraise, appraise the new undead : (17) 30
(1:16:30 AM) Nasturtium: "so what now?"
(1:16:39 AM) Sparkles: ((THE UNDEAD IS VERY EXPENSIVE))
(1:16:55 AM) Crystal: (( he must be another rare monster ))
(1:17:07 AM) Hobbes: ((Let's sell it for wine and women.))
(1:17:13 AM) Nasturtium: Agreed
(1:17:44 AM) Barzini: "Pretty decent armor. Maybe we should sell it..."
(1:18:18 AM) Fionnlagh: Just as the armor was being inspected it suddenally grabs hold of the side of the coffin and begins to stand, spirital energy begining to seep out of it's neck hole and slowly form a two tailed scarf, ".......The first thing I see after waking up is a bunch of misfits diggers....alright, so now that you see me awake you're probably gonna run in fear now" It spoke, somehow, acting as if this has happened to him before
(1:18:20 AM) Crystal: But we'll have to carry it back to the chip
(1:18:21 AM) Hobbes: ((Urrgh. Can't stay awake another second. We're pretty much done anyway, I'll bow out early.)0
(1:18:36 AM) Hobbes left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.87 [Firefox 3.6.25/20111212142243]).
(1:18:39 AM) Nasturtium: "Hey Rammy, call the bees"
(1:18:49 AM) ***Crystal is insulted
(1:19:02 AM) Crystal: WHO ARE YOU CALLING MISFITS?
(1:19:21 AM) Sparkles: "Why would we run in fear? We can so totally take you."
(1:19:44 AM) Mister_Cavern: [Fionnlagh has been abducted by the party]
(1:19:52 AM) Barzini: "Talking armor. I hear that's really rare."
(1:19:56 AM) Nasturtium: "Nope" *levels scorching ray pistol at the thing's "head"*
(1:20:18 AM) Fionnlagh: The armor turns to Sparkles, one of the tails of his scarf moving upwards in confusion, ".....Have none of you lads and lasses ever heard of a Dullahan?"
(1:20:19 AM) ***Sparkles starts glowing for no apparent reason. Even more than usual.
(1:20:21 AM) Crystal: I mean really, can't you see that this corset is Perfectly fitted!!! Why the nerve!!
(1:21:14 AM) Crystal: A doll-a-what now?
(1:21:26 AM) Nasturtium: "Haven't you ever heard of Nasturtium Majus and her illustrious and dangerous pirate crew, sailing the majestic Rhododendron Rampent?"
(1:21:36 AM) ***Crystal blinks at her train of indignation being interrupoted
(1:21:41 AM) Nasturtium: Rammy: stands a bit taller
(1:22:25 AM) Nasturtium: puffed up with pride
(1:22:38 AM) Crystal: That better be a fancy word for apologizing
(1:22:45 AM) Sparkles: "Sure. Dullahan. Talking armor thingy. Still could totally take you. Just saying."
(1:22:55 AM) Fionnlagh: "Kids these days don't even care to learn about old legends" The armor mutters as it turns away, "Alright, so where am I, a thousand years and this lan' don't look a bit familiar to me"
(1:23:51 AM) Crystal: Er Sparkles, is that "take" as in "loot" or "take" as in "to the Captain's quarters" ?
(1:24:27 AM) Barzini: "Are you strong, Dullahan? I already have a minion that's practically metal and paint. Not very fun to feel up."
(1:24:55 AM) Nasturtium: "You're on the island of turtle, your likely quite valuable suit of armour and coffin were buried in the desert under this man who's going to help me become a goddess, and now you're in the middle of a bunch of trigger happy, greedy pirates, who are no strangers to killing a man and selling off everything of value about him."
(1:24:56 AM) Barzini: "Hardest worker, though."
(1:25:19 AM) Sparkles: "'Take' as in 'fight in a manner that leads to our victory'."
(1:25:43 AM) ***Crystal is slightly more confused than usual
(1:26:00 AM) Sparkles: "We are able to defeat him in combat, is what I'm saying here."
(1:27:30 AM) Fionnlagh: He turns towards Nasturtium, seeming to ignore Barzini and hums in a moment of thought, "........Eh, I have no quarrel for those who aren't gonna die yet, so leave this ol' spirit alone.....also read a book lad." He finally answers Barzini, patting him on the head as he starts walking away
(1:28:11 AM) Nasturtium: "So exactly how valuable was that armour?" Nast says out the corner of her mouth
(1:28:20 AM) ***Crystal is shocked at the Dollarhen patronizing Barzamus
(1:28:25 AM) Barzini: "Where do you think you're going?"
(1:29:31 AM) Fionnlagh: "M'job lad, something that doesn't invovle the lot of you" He answer simply, waving goodbye to the lot as he continues walking
(1:29:41 AM) ***Barzini does in fact, try to glean where on this island the dullahan thinks he can escape to.
(1:29:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: [Fionnlagh has been abducted by the party]
(1:30:04 AM) Nasturtium: "Hrmm... well, I got what I wanted."
(1:30:15 AM) ***Nasturtium mounts up on the bee, "ready guys?"
(1:30:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: He finds he can't leave the screen, trapped within the field of vision of the party
(1:30:22 AM) ***Sparkles waves goodbye to the strange armor
(1:30:27 AM) Crystal: What sort of job lets you take a thousand years off?
(1:30:34 AM) Mister_Cavern: So, the team have flown over challenges that are not challenges because they can't fly and the party is above level 5, killed a Bebilith to harvest its venom sacs, freed a jackal lord in exchange for divinity, and gained possession of an animated armour spirit thing.
(1:30:43 AM) ***Nasturtium grins, "quick, let's fly in the opposite direction as fast as we can"
(1:31:05 AM) ***Sparkles starts flying, circling over the main party and then takes off in the direction the Captain suggested
(1:31:28 AM) ***Barzini lifts off.
(1:31:33 AM) Fionnlagh: "What magic are you playing at pirates" He demends as he begins to storm back to the group in anger
(1:31:35 AM) Mister_Cavern: What lies in store for them next session? Could it be the mysterious letter that Crystal receives? Or could it be Food World? WHO KNOWS? There's only one way to find out: by tuning in next week, for another exciting episode of Tengen Toppa Friendship Punch!
(1:32:08 AM) Mister_Cavern is now known as Koumei
(1:32:09 AM) Nasturtium: can we say I contact the rozen queen and pay them before we end?
(1:32:11 AM) Barzini is now known as Iori
(1:32:12 AM) ***Koumei stretches
(1:32:15 AM) Koumei: Sure, Nast
(1:32:18 AM) Nasturtium: sweet
(1:32:20 AM) Fionnlagh is now known as Nax
(1:32:22 AM) ***Crystal has a new hatrack
(1:32:24 AM) Nasturtium is now known as Prak
(1:32:30 AM) You are now known as rabid_schnauzer
(1:32:47 AM) Nax: I do apologize Koumei, I know he was technically taken, but I wanted to see what the group would do to get him to stay
(1:32:47 AM) Koumei: So do we want the mysterious letter for Crystal, or do we want Food World? Both are going to happen, it's just a matter of the order
(1:33:00 AM) Prak: someone pm me to remind me what the original corset does?
(1:33:14 AM) Iori: I was tempted to pounce him and beat him around, but the results of doing that to fellow PCs tends to be... varied
(1:33:18 AM) Sparkles: My plan was Greater Turning + selling the armor
(1:33:21 AM) Sparkles is now known as Quantumboost
(1:33:28 AM) rabid_schnauzer: on my charsheet post: http://tgdmb.com/viewtopic.php?p=247781#247781
(1:33:40 AM) Quantumboost: Also, turns out Okonomiyaki is fucking delicious
(1:33:55 AM) Prak: I was tempted to shoot what I assume to be an undead with scorching ray, but I decided it would be funnier to drag you with screen lock
(1:34:18 AM) Koumei: Quantum: it really is, yes
(1:34:26 AM) Nax: I didn't even know about the screen lock until Koumei pulled that one
(1:34:30 AM) Koumei: I'm pretty sure it's made out of carbohydrates though
(1:34:40 AM) Prak: thx
(1:34:44 AM) Nax: also I didn't mean to make him a partial stereotype
(1:34:46 AM) Iori: Didn't mean to be so ridiculously late, but I assure you that time was wasted driving around in mindless circles wasting gas as my food grew cold.
(1:34:56 AM) Koumei: ...doesn't sound fun
(1:35:02 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Ah, good to know that
(1:35:25 AM) Quantumboost: yes, many carbs
(1:35:30 AM) Iori: Hope to do better next week.
(1:35:51 AM) Prak: fun...
(1:35:56 AM) Nax: also just to let people know, the way his name is pronounced, I'm going with Fin-lay
(1:35:56 AM) Prak: yeah, I've had that happen
(1:36:14 AM) Prak: ok
(1:36:22 AM) Prak: I'm calling it a night guys
(1:36:27 AM) Nax: Night Prak
(1:36:28 AM) Koumei: Night dood
(1:36:50 AM) Nax: so to those who are still here, what'd you think of me introducing my character?
(1:37:09 AM) rabid_schnauzer: As to any Crystal-centric letter, there is a chance that I may have a job that conflicts soon - and I'll likely have only about 3 days notice if that does happen
(1:37:19 AM) Koumei:
(1:37:19 AM) Prak: wait, doesn't the corset act as armour?
(1:37:39 AM) rabid_schnauzer: No, corset is Deflection bonus
(1:37:53 AM) Prak: ah, ok
(1:37:55 AM) Prak: gotcha
(1:38:00 AM) Prak: alright, now I'm going to bed
(1:38:03 AM) Prak: see ya guys
(1:38:06 AM) Koumei: Night Prak
(1:38:08 AM) rabid_schnauzer: But only a chance, it's not a sure thing, so just have an alternate plan
(1:38:22 AM) Koumei: Will do. And if you do get the job, then congratulations
(1:38:53 AM) Prak left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: Nightstar's Java Chat http://www.nightstar.net).
(1:39:04 AM) Nax: I wish you luck Rabid
(1:39:17 AM) Nax: but yes, back to the question, was I...okay?
(1:40:03 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Well there's gonna be some tension around the new party member and his gruff ways contrasting with our general zaniness
(1:40:08 AM) Iori: Fin and Barzini will probably have to mess with each other a bit to come to terms with each other, or something. He didn't really sign on as a member of the ship's crew.
(1:41:31 AM) Iori: So he's vaguely in a vassal-ish sort of state right now, and he didn't answer the question about being strong. Barz will be messing with him until they see eye to eye. And then yes, he doesn't seem like such a piratey fellow, which will have to be resolved all around.
(1:41:39 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Nast will doubtless try to see, or at least feel what's inside the armor, which could be potentially entertaining
(1:42:24 AM) Nax: Well, you know, when a guy who's ego is so high because he feels similar to the grim reaper himself in what he does, which is to basically find those who're about to die and basically kill them, and then being partically forced to play pirate with, pirates, well his reaction is probably obvious
(1:42:45 AM) Nax: based on the Dullahan legend mind you
(1:43:15 AM) rabid_schnauzer: He'll likely get along with Hobbes just fine though
(1:43:33 AM) Iori: Yeah. Someone like that will need to find a common ground with pirates.
(1:43:52 AM) Iori: What comes to mind is how Captain Gordon was treated by the demons.
(1:44:18 AM) Quantumboost: Generally, introducing yourself in a way that results in you walking away from the party and them mostly ignoring you is a... risky endeavour.
(1:44:20 AM) Iori: in Disgaea 1 that is.
(1:44:44 AM) Nax: as I said, huge Ego, and I wanted to see what the party would do to stop him
(1:45:10 AM) Quantumboost: Yes. The thing is, that risks the possibility of the party not stopping him.
(1:45:19 AM) Nax: yes they're trigger happy but....they've done smart things before too right...?
(1:45:35 AM) Nax: well that's true...
(1:45:51 AM) Nax: but if that was the case I would've made him end up trying to get aboard the ship to leave the island
(1:46:54 AM) Quantumboost: Long as you know the risks, then.
(1:47:12 AM) Nax: I'm just glad they didn't try to outright kill me
(1:47:17 AM) Nax: er, him
(1:47:57 AM) Iori: Barz wouldn't have killed him, just beat him up a little, and I've learned not to try things like that with players I don't know that well, because like I said, mixed results.
(1:48:58 AM) Nax: speaking of Barz, mind if I ask what his intellgence score is?
(1:50:00 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Crystal would have egged the two of you on to fight though
(1:50:59 AM) Nax: Well even if they fought Fin wouldn't have killed anyway
(1:51:17 AM) Nax: he only kills what's gonna die
(1:51:39 AM) Nax: or what will die
(1:51:56 AM) Nax: so basically he'll only kill someone if they attempt to kill him first or something
(1:51:57 AM) Iori: INT 15.
(1:52:20 AM) Nax: .....I am so tired that all that clashed.
(1:52:38 AM) Nax: let's just call it plot convinece
(1:52:59 AM) Nax: anyway, I asked Iori cause Fin is gonna make Barz read a book about Dullahan's
(1:53:06 AM) Nax: and the entire crew too
(1:53:12 AM) Nax: but first Barz
(1:53:29 AM) Iori: He's got max ranks in K:Planes but zip in K:Religion, which is what undead fall under.
(1:54:18 AM) Nax: Well true, but even if you know a thing or two about Religion, do you think that they'd tell Religious folk about an old fairy tale?
(1:54:29 AM) Nax: or those who learn about Religion
(1:54:30 AM) Iori: But regardless yeah they'll probably be grating on each other until we have our next encounter, and the two can see what they can do.
(1:55:10 AM) Iori: Then after that, there'll be the respect, but Fin will have to roll like a pirate for the crew to love him, I think.
(1:55:49 AM) Nax: I just realized I made the most non-minion minion character
(1:56:16 AM) Iori: So he was supposed to be a minion char?
(1:56:22 AM) Nax: yes...
(1:56:31 AM) Nax: or at least he's not getting a share of the profits
(1:56:38 AM) Iori: I hadn't realized. Probably for the statement you just made.
(1:56:48 AM) Iori: (about it being the most non-minion minion)
(1:57:19 AM) Nax: Well the fact is I don't see him lifting his finger much to help them other than for combat and Diplomacy
(1:58:12 AM) Nax: I mean there IS a way you can make him but I'm not sure if Koumei would like that idea
(1:58:54 AM) Nax: I am such a moron..
(1:59:20 AM) Iori: So what you're saying is that we really will have to beat him up and dominate him.
(1:59:24 AM) Nax: but then again I kind of just litterally pulled his personality right out of my ass
(1:59:45 AM) Nax: either beat him up or use his weakness against him
(2:00:02 AM) Quantumboost: kittens?
(2:00:06 AM) Nax: Gold
(2:00:07 AM) Iori: And then Captain Gordon will be bringing us our underwear. After he's done scrubbing the barnacles off the underside of the ship and feeding the nekomata.
(2:00:38 AM) Nax: according to Dullahan legends (or at least what Wikipedia says), Dullahan's have a weakness to gold
(2:01:05 AM) Quantumboost: ...like, if you stab them with it?
(2:01:10 AM) Nax: oh wait, not weak
(2:01:14 AM) Nax: just frigthened
(2:01:24 AM) Quantumboost: ...and he's supposed to be on a pirate ship
(2:01:29 AM) Iori: ... wow, this guy really is backwards for a pirate ship.
(2:01:44 AM) Iori: "AAAAH! AAAH! AAAH!" "... more for us."
(2:01:44 AM) Nax: "Nonetheless, they are frightened of gold, and even a single gold pin can drive a dullahan away."
(2:02:13 AM) Iori: Johnny even has a gold tooth.
(2:02:19 AM) Nax: I'll be honest, I did not think this through completely
(2:03:05 AM) Nax: I just thought "wouldn't it be cool to be a Dullahan in a Disagea D'n'D game"....this...has bit me in the ass, SO HARD, dog's teeth would break from how hard this bit me
(2:03:07 AM) Quantumboost: evidently
(2:03:18 AM) Nax: But I'm gonna make this work
(2:03:29 AM) Quantumboost: so going to encase him in gold now
(2:03:40 AM) Iori: This party needs stowaways, rogues, and other such deviants like you would see smoking cigarrettes in a French movie.
(2:03:50 AM) Iori: Ahahaha
(2:04:00 AM) rabid_schnauzer: er, um, wasn't there a golden dildo in the sack two sessions back?
(2:04:02 AM) Iori: Mod his armor with gold trim.
(2:04:07 AM) Koumei: The lesson to be learned from this is "Just play a friggin thing from the setting, the MC specifically made a whole bunch of stuff for it, rather than digging up obscure shit"
(2:04:11 AM) Nax: Because you can smoke with your neckhole
(2:04:47 AM) Nax: This probably isn't the worse thing to play as though
(2:04:56 AM) Nax: my last session I was a mannequin...so basically a living puppet
(2:05:04 AM) Nax: imagine the firewood jokes
(2:05:08 AM) Iori: Well, no. If you'd played a celestial paladin we would have shot you in the face and taken your gear.
(2:05:50 AM) Iori: Now see, Disgaea actually accounts for mannequins.
(2:06:21 AM) Nax: yeah, no, not playing another one, lesson learned
(2:07:05 AM) Nax: but yeah, the gold thing is there if Koumei wants it to be, but either way I'm gonna play this character and damn it I'm gonna play him well
(2:07:21 AM) Nax: I made this screw up and I'm gonna work with it
(2:08:05 AM) Iori: http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Knight
(2:08:23 AM) Iori: And look at #3.
(2:08:43 AM) Iori: So that means the party probably should have known exactly what he was.
(2:09:15 AM) Nax: well yes, but wasn't the only in D1 though?
(2:09:29 AM) Nax: also I can't help but look at those and thing "is that female armor?"
(2:11:00 AM) Iori: It'll be easy to get this guy into the party then, but brace for discomfort. We have to intimidate him into doing what we want.
(2:12:07 AM) Nax: Intimidate as in threaten him, or send a bunch of girls to press their bodies against him?
(2:12:33 AM) Iori: The former, unless there was any hint that the latter would work.
(2:13:05 AM) Iori: Probably, we'll just beat him up.
(10:15:10 PM) Quantumboost is now known as Sparkles
(10:15:19 PM) You are now known as Crystal
(10:15:19 PM) Chamomile is now known as Hobbes
(10:15:34 PM) Hobbes: ((Disgaea and Deniers?))
(10:15:48 PM) Prak is now known as Nasturtium
(10:15:58 PM) Hobbes: ((Make an ignorance check to ignore video evidence!))
(10:15:59 PM) Icyshadow is now known as Kuniko
(10:16:01 PM) Nax: (Disgaea and D'n'D and wars and racial things, pretty much....it's not obvious, but it's there >>)
(10:16:24 PM) Koumei is now known as Mister_Cavern
(10:17:15 PM) Nasturtium: (( heh http://www.tshirthell.com/funny-shirts/jesus-returns/ ))
(10:17:31 PM) Crystal: (( Well Disagaea overlords would be proud of their genocide - denying it would be belittling themselves ))
(10:17:55 PM) Kuniko: (( True. ))
(10:18:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: When last we left off, the party had just blown a hole in the wall on Eltrut Island. Armoured figures emerge, looking wary and wielding sharp things. "Halt! What's going on here?"
(10:18:32 PM) Nasturtium: "We're here to pick up a bebilith sac"
(10:18:56 PM) Sparkles: "Hello! We're just here to loot and corporate takover your island!"
(10:19:00 PM) Sparkles: "Pay us no mind."
(10:19:07 PM) ***Kuniko looks at the sharp things the armored guys are holding."
(10:20:02 PM) ***Hobbes shoulders his scythe and non-chalantly saunters past the guards.
(10:20:25 PM) ***Nasturtium draws her pistols, "Anyone feel like meeting the new boss?"
(10:20:26 PM) Crystal: We're arguing about who's cutest
(10:20:30 PM) Mister_Cavern: They're wielding rapiers and long spears, despite being armoured up in the way that typically involves warhammers and greatswords
(10:20:43 PM) ***Kuniko decides to follow Hobbes, seeing that the guards didn't attack him either.
(10:20:59 PM) Nasturtium: "What category is space marine armour?"
(10:21:34 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Wait... corporate takeover? Do you really care that much for this cause, feel so strongly that you need to take over and run it yourselves?"
(10:21:44 PM) Mister_Cavern: They actually seem a little more relaxed and hopeful about this
(10:22:00 PM) ***Kuniko stops and turns to look at the guards. "What are you talking about?"
(10:22:21 PM) Nasturtium: "Well... it's more like a motif. We're really just here so I can buy a prettier corset than her's..."
(10:22:30 PM) Nasturtium: "But, yeah, what're your troubles?"
(10:22:38 PM) ***Crystal models ruby corset
(10:22:47 PM) Mister_Cavern: *twinkle*
(10:22:52 PM) ***Crystal does the pageant walk
(10:23:13 PM) Sparkles: ((...oh shit they're vampires!))
(10:23:22 PM) Kuniko: (( KILL THEM WITH FIRE!! )
(10:23:24 PM) Sparkles: ((...wait. That was the corset twinkling, wasn't it?))
(10:23:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: Yes, it was the corset
(10:23:35 PM) Kuniko: (( ...oh. False Alarm. ))
(10:23:41 PM) ***Crystal is not a vampire
(10:23:47 PM) Mister_Cavern: "We are HARM - Human Activists for Rare Monsters! Our job is to protect all rare monsters so they don't go extinct, so we try to keep them here in a safe environment!"
(10:24:24 PM) Nasturtium: "So... you *Are* going to stand in the way of me getting a bebilith sac?"
(10:24:31 PM) ***Nasturtium cocks guns
(10:24:33 PM) Mister_Cavern: "At least... that's the plan. But we've bungled a few missions, and now we're on our last chance. If our current one fails, our paladin powers will be stripped from us, I'm afraid." "So we really could do with a better director."
(10:24:54 PM) Crystal: Ohhhh, Palladjinns
(10:24:55 PM) Kuniko: "Paladins, huh?"
(10:25:06 PM) ***Hobbes wishes for more wishes.
(10:25:07 PM) Sparkles: "Don't worry captain, I'm sure we can work out a method for nonlethal extraction of body parts."
(10:25:20 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Wait what? Bebiliths, they're not rare, there's an infinite number. Go right ahead." "There's one on the island, we have it walled in but it often breaks free and eats the monsters."
(10:25:33 PM) Nasturtium: "Oh, ok."
(10:25:39 PM) Kuniko: "Problem solved?"
(10:25:53 PM) ***Crystal blinks
(10:26:06 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Actually that could really help - it's the main thing killing our protected wards." Their leader points to the giant eagles in the sky.
(10:26:19 PM) Nasturtium: "I guess. What have you bungled, exactly?"
(10:27:17 PM) Mister_Cavern: "These are the last four rocs on the entire plane. There use to be four more. And well... given Charmanders, Putties and Behemoths are already extinct because we failed... basically, if rocs die, everyone falls"
(10:27:21 PM) Mister_Cavern: :3c
(10:27:59 PM) Nasturtium: "...can I shoot him for that pun?"
(10:28:02 PM) Kuniko: "Do tell, how many of those things are male, and how many are female?"
(10:29:13 PM) Nasturtium: "Wait a minute! I've got it. We have plenty of demons on board, and as the vast amount of half fiend types shows, demons can breed with anything!"
(10:29:32 PM) ***Crystal was wondering how long it would take the captain to go there
(10:29:41 PM) Kuniko: "...wait, you aren't suggesting what I think you are suggesting?"
(10:29:43 PM) ***Sparkles aside, "At least he's not going on about half-Celestials..."
(10:29:48 PM) Hobbes: "Question: What do you use your paladin powers for?"
(10:30:09 PM) Nasturtium: "Oh yeah... celestials can do it too..."
(10:30:20 PM) Crystal: I also wonder why you keep the hungry Bebbe-liffy on the same island with your rare monsters?
(10:30:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Uh... two and two. They can make a few clutches and get things going again..." "I think we'd rather them be normal rocs, not templated. Besides, everyone knows half fiends and half celestials aren't made that way."
(10:30:52 PM) ***Crystal doesn't think the captain knows
(10:30:53 PM) Nasturtium: "Really? has this been tested?"
(10:30:58 PM) Kuniko: "Celestial rocs sound interesting..."
(10:30:58 PM) ***Crystal nor cares much
(10:31:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: "We don't exactly KEEP it there. It just came here and we can't get rid of it."
(10:31:17 PM) Nasturtium: "And why aren't the rocs fucking on their own?
(10:31:18 PM) Nasturtium: "
(10:31:31 PM) Nasturtium: "If it's a question of motivation..."
(10:31:35 PM) ***Nasturtium cocks her guns
(10:31:38 PM) Kuniko: "Maybe a druid can affect them."
(10:31:55 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Generally they need to stay in the sky so the bebilith doesn't get them"
(10:31:56 PM) Nasturtium: "I'm pretty sure a druid has to be epic to take magical beast form"
(10:31:57 PM) Sparkles: "We *do* have a Pokemaster on board."
(10:32:23 PM) Crystal: Ohhh ohhhh
(10:32:33 PM) Hobbes: "Where's the bebilith?"
(10:33:12 PM) Crystal: so we just need to fly up and drag one down to the ground to get the Babbalith to come out
(10:33:36 PM) Nasturtium: "Wait, bebiliths hunt other demons..."
(10:33:42 PM) Mister_Cavern: One of them points out towards the mountain in the middle of the island. "That way. You might see a big old broken tower, that's where we tried to trap it. None of us has the ability to make forcecages though, so... yeah"
(10:33:46 PM) ***Nasturtium eyes the nearest demon crew member
(10:33:52 PM) Crystal: Oh, like we don't
(10:34:31 PM) Hobbes: "First, the hunter will become the hunted. Then, the hunter of the hunted hunter will become the hunted."
(10:34:48 PM) Kuniko: "And life goes on..."
(10:34:49 PM) Crystal: Huhn?
(10:35:29 PM) Nasturtium: "Show us to the rocs!"
(10:36:08 PM) Nax: ( *points to the ground* )
(10:36:19 PM) ***Kuniko spreads her wings a bit, getting ready to go.
(10:37:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Uh... the rocs? You see up there? The things with the feathers."
(10:37:36 PM) Kuniko: "Are they territorial?"
(10:37:43 PM) Kuniko: ( Of course they are. :U )
(10:37:45 PM) ***Hobbes heads towards the bebilith.
(10:37:53 PM) ***Nasturtium looks up "I meant take us to where they roost."
(10:38:29 PM) Mister_Cavern: "They don't really roost much these days, but they used to pick the peak of the mountain there."
(10:38:29 PM) ***Crystal flaps toward Rocs, then changes direction towards broken tower, then circles back to Nasturtles
(10:39:43 PM) ***Nasturtium sighs, "I need wings. Hmm... I wonder if I can summon minor templated sea turtles..."
(10:40:00 PM) ***Nasturtium closes her eyes and focuses on calling sea turtles with wings
(10:40:14 PM) Crystal: (( fizzy lifting drink swift fly ))
(10:40:21 PM) Nasturtium: ...oh yeah...
(10:40:36 PM) ***Nasturtium is still trying to summon flying turtles
(10:40:53 PM) ***Hobbes pulls Lilith from hammerspace before he forgets.
(10:41:04 PM) ***Kuniko looks at Lilith with a frown.
(10:41:04 PM) Nasturtium: "wait, wait. I just remembered my first thought on learning the island's name..."
(10:41:28 PM) Nasturtium: "Bah, fuck it."
(10:41:33 PM) ***Nasturtium activates swift fly
(10:41:41 PM) Crystal: (( http://th08.deviantart.net/fs30/150/i/2 ... osaurx.jpg ))
(10:41:43 PM) Kuniko: "So, this is Lilith?"
(10:41:45 PM) Nasturtium: "It's just not as stylish, you know?"
(10:41:56 PM) Nasturtium: ((lol))
(10:42:31 PM) Nasturtium: (( http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cuaW1BLkK8k/S ... design.jpg ))
(10:43:17 PM) ***Hobbes never consumes any kind of food or drink in public. Instead, Lilith uses the swift fly ability and Hobbes rides her like a surfboard.
(10:44:05 PM) ***Kuniko flies after Hobbes, not bothering to ask as the catgirl is nothing but a surfboard apparently.
(10:44:59 PM) ***Sparkles flies along with the rest of the party
(10:45:00 PM) Nasturtium: Rammy flies up on a giant bee
(10:45:59 PM) Hobbes: ((Hm. I kind of wish I had a knight character now, just so that I could have a giant, armored beeeeeeeeee as a mount.))
(10:46:40 PM) Kuniko: (( Take a Knight level for the hell of it? )
(10:47:53 PM) ***Nasturtium flies up to a roc "Alright, why aren't you all fucking? I mean, I know it's fun and all making paladins fall, but...."
(10:48:18 PM) ***Crystal wonders if Rocs speak
(10:48:32 PM) ***Hobbes is looking for the bebilith.
(10:48:42 PM) ***Crystal thinks telepathetically at one to try to translate for the Captain
(10:48:52 PM) Nasturtium: ((....Rocs are animals now!?))
(10:49:13 PM) Kuniko: (( Aren't they always ))
(10:49:40 PM) Nasturtium: ((pretty sure they were magical beasts in 3e))
(10:49:49 PM) Nasturtium: ((maybe beasts, not sure))
(10:49:51 PM) Nasturtium: bah
(10:49:53 PM) Sparkles: ((Gargantuan Animal))
(10:50:26 PM) Kuniko: (( Welp. ))
(10:51:59 PM) Nasturtium: "Sigh, guess we need a druid or something. Can Pokemasters talk to rocs?"
(10:52:33 PM) Mister_Cavern: The rocs start to squawk at the sight of those approaching
(10:52:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: They look like they are possibly aggressive
(10:52:49 PM) Kuniko: "...I think we should back away."
(10:52:56 PM) Sparkles: "I don't think Animals are Pokemon..."
(10:53:05 PM) ***Kuniko is pretty sure that these birds WILL defend their roost.
(10:53:07 PM) Nasturtium: "Alright... to the bebilith."
(10:56:39 PM) ***Crystal waits to see if Rocs approach closer
(10:56:55 PM) ***Kuniko telepathically tells Crystal to back off.
(10:58:18 PM) ***Crystal thinks back "We just need one to follow"
(10:59:00 PM) ***Kuniko thinks in turn. "Why?"
(10:59:26 PM) ***Nasturtium mounts up a spare giant bee Rammy brought. "You know, these things fly faster than the mushrooms make us fly..."
(10:59:53 PM) ***Crystal "To get the Babylaugh to pounce so we don't have to search for it"
(11:00:28 PM) ***Nasturtium flies off to the tower
(11:00:43 PM) ***Kuniko "...I doubt we need to. It will just pounce on a bee anyway."
(11:02:42 PM) Nasturtium: ((*pokes the MC* take more drugs))
(11:03:19 PM) Sparkles: "Or on *us*."
(11:06:46 PM) Mister_Cavern: The rocs circle about warily, rather concerned about the party members
(11:07:09 PM) ***Crystal gingerly approaches closer
(11:07:11 PM) ***Sparkles goes to scout out the bebilith's "prison"
(11:07:21 PM) ***Kuniko looks at the rocs curiously, wondering why they are circling around.
(11:07:37 PM) Kuniko: ( Kuniko's mind: "Wait, are they waiting to swoop down and eat us?! D= " )
(11:07:39 PM) Mister_Cavern: But if the party backs off, the birds don't pursue them, just squawking a bit. If Crystal does in fact get closer, one will try to claw her face off.
(11:08:03 PM) ***Crystal shows off her cleavage to the nearest Roc ((Padded Braissere DC 21 fascinate attempt))
(11:08:12 PM) Kuniko: (( ... lol. ))
(11:09:13 PM) Mister_Cavern: The desert ahead... contains sand. Lots of sand. Black sand, yellow sand, grey sand, orange sand, red sand... and moving, shifting shapes in the sands. But if people are flying, there is no risk
(11:09:34 PM) Mister_Cavern: (24 on a Save vs Boobies, followed by a 33 to claw her, and 17 damage if that hits)
(11:09:48 PM) ***Crystal bleeds a bit
(11:10:06 PM) Kuniko: "Damn it, Crystal..."
(11:10:25 PM) Kuniko: ( Is the bird going to attack her a second time? )
(11:10:51 PM) ***Crystal retreats towards Sparkles at top speed
(11:13:58 PM) ***Crystal really hopes her top speed outpace giant sex-hating bird
(11:14:23 PM) Sparkles: ((Birds don't have mammaries D: ))
(11:14:40 PM) ***Kuniko tries to scare the bird away IF it intends to chase Crystal.
(11:14:55 PM) Kuniko: ( So that's a 1d20 roll with a +12 Intimidate. )
(11:15:06 PM) ***Nasturtium twists around on top of the bee "Wings aren't integral to birds mating, right?"
(11:16:38 PM) ***Crystal thought birds liked shiny rubies
(11:17:20 PM) Mister_Cavern: The bird screeches once more, but does not chase
(11:17:46 PM) Mister_Cavern: Also, it catches fire slightly from the flicker of red light
(11:18:10 PM) Crystal: (( heh ))
(11:18:11 PM) Kuniko: "...what the hell."
(11:18:13 PM) Mister_Cavern: Anyway, presumably, people fly on over the sandfields?
(11:18:22 PM) Nasturtium: yep
(11:18:56 PM) Sparkles: yes
(11:19:03 PM) Crystal: SPAAAARKLESSSS!!!!!
(11:19:04 PM) Hobbes: ((Yes))
(11:19:42 PM) Kuniko: (( seY ))
(11:19:46 PM) Sparkles: "wat"
(11:20:18 PM) Crystal: It scratched me!!!! Help please please.
(11:20:31 PM) Sparkles: "You provoked it, didn't you?"
(11:20:40 PM) ***Sparkles starts poking Crystal with her healyhands
(11:20:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: So you fly ONWARDS! Over the sand dunes, over the worms, and over the giant scorpions that look like they are deathstalking. Or stalking death. Or something. And over the large tunnel holes.
(11:20:44 PM) Crystal: I wasn't going to hurt it!!!
(11:21:21 PM) Sparkles: "Yes, but *it* didn't know that. You shouldn't flash large animals, it confuses and enrages them."
(11:21:29 PM) Sparkles: "There, all better"
(11:21:58 PM) Crystal: But careful with the poking - Fire Corset doesn't discriminate
(11:22:20 PM) ***Crystal probably should have mentioned that first
(11:22:57 PM) ***Sparkles is resistant
(11:23:04 PM) Crystal: (( 20 points of fire damage, Ref 21 for half ))
(11:23:14 PM) ***Sparkles wards
(11:23:27 PM) Sparkles: ((1d20+13 reflex))
(11:24:35 PM) Crystal: Sorrysorrysorry
(11:25:18 PM) Crystal: And I'm sorry I said such a mean thing about you before, you're the best friend an Empusa could have
(11:25:48 PM) Sparkles: "What are you talking about?"
(11:26:06 PM) Crystal: You got upset when I said you were the smart one
(11:26:27 PM) Sparkles: "Oh. Okay. Uh, thank you then!"
(11:27:23 PM) ***Nasturtium flies toward the bebilith tower, getting frustrated at the lack of things to shoot.
(11:27:49 PM) Crystal: But which of those deafstocking tunnel worms are rare and which is the one The Captain needs the sac from?
(11:27:59 PM) Kuniko: "Looks like that Bebilith isn't as aggressive as it seemed."
(11:28:17 PM) Kuniko: "Would have thought it would have pounced on us already."
(11:28:55 PM) Nasturtium: "I don't think we're close enough"
(11:29:52 PM) Mister_Cavern: Sparkles passes her save, resisting the fire somewhat
(11:29:54 PM) Crystal: Well it only eats the Rocs, not the Pallydjinns
(11:30:33 PM) Crystal: So maybe we're not enough of a meal for it?
(11:30:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: The tower, once reached, has had a big old chunk smashed out of it. It looks like they really couldn't do a good job of trapping the bastard there
(11:30:48 PM) Crystal: Or maybe it only likes giant chicken?
(11:31:23 PM) Kuniko: "Hmmm..."
(11:31:30 PM) Mister_Cavern: What are everyone's Spot modifiers?
(11:31:30 PM) Kuniko: "...what if we set the tower on fire?"
(11:31:41 PM) Kuniko: ( +4 Spot )
(11:31:53 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey! Bebilith! I want your sac for a new corset. If you make this easy, you can join the crew!"
(11:31:55 PM) ***Crystal now has a +0 Spot
(11:31:59 PM) Hobbes: ((+1 on Hobbes, +6 on Lilith))
(11:32:17 PM) Nasturtium: (+1 for both Nasturtium and Rammy)

(11:33:13 PM) Nasturtium: "You'll have plenty of people to eat! We piss a lot of them off!"
(11:33:21 PM) Hobbes: ((So I guess the bebilith activates its cloaking device, then.))
(11:33:53 PM) Sparkles: (+10 spot)
(11:34:12 PM) Sparkles: (not that it apparently matters)
(11:34:39 PM) Mister_Cavern: ...yeah, with a roll like that >.<
(11:35:12 PM) ***Crystal knew we'd never find it via searching
(11:35:51 PM) Mister_Cavern: It all seems empty in there... until suddenly, from out of nowhere! "FRAAAA!" The Bebilith leaps out of stealth mode, deactivating thermoptic camouflage as it goes to bite... *random roll* Sparkles!
(11:35:53 PM) ***Nasturtium fires a shot of scorching ray into the tower

(12:25:26 AM) Sparkles: ((With a ward anyway <_< ))
(12:25:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Well, it can't be helped I guess. We did start late. Seeya next time Kuniko)
(12:25:29 AM) Nax: (I'll let you know what happens Icy, also brb
(12:25:37 AM) Kuniko: ( Okay. See ya )

(12:29:53 AM) ***Nasturtium ends turn
(12:31:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: And indeed, it pops open and falls apart, various... bits... collapsing all over the ground.
(12:31:36 AM) Nasturtium: "It's like a pinata!"
(12:31:37 AM) ***Crystal was perfecting her new draw
(12:31:51 AM) ***Nasturtium flies down to retrieve the poison sac
(12:32:03 AM) ***Crystal flourishes blades with a belated burst of speed
(12:32:17 AM) Mister_Cavern: That's pretty easy to do now - they're handy little bags attached to the fangs, and seem nicely sealed so that they won't go bad
(12:32:26 AM) Nasturtium: woot
(12:32:54 AM) Crystal: Nice shootin' Cap'n
(12:33:05 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is the sound of applause - one single person clapping
(12:33:17 AM) ***Nasturtium looks around
(12:33:55 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well done," a rather smooth, dry, Scar-like (as in, Lion King) voice says... from below. There appears to be a finely dressed jackal-headed gentleman buried to his armpits in the sand, with honey on his forehead.
(12:34:00 AM) ***Barzini lands with a little more grace than the last time. "Wings are really convenient, who knew?"
(12:34:05 AM) Crystal: Might you be a rare monster?
(12:34:16 AM) ***Sparkles starts pumping some Lesser Restoration into Hobbes, refreshing everybody as a side-effect.
(12:34:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: "That was the most remarkable work I have ever seen, but... is there a chance you could please help me out?"
(12:34:26 AM) ***Nasturtium lands her giant bee near the honey smeared head

(12:35:38 AM) ***Crystal alights near Mr Jackal head
(12:35:53 AM) Barzini: "I've never seen a demon like you."
(12:36:27 AM) Crystal: So he IS a rare monster then!!!
(12:36:28 AM) Mister_Cavern: "My name is Reverand Mertal. I am part of ClericCorp, DBA Divine Powers Ltd. Mostly we like to gather minions, and set up worship-and-power based pyramid schemes. But I sort of fell foul of the creatures here... which is embarrassing."
(12:37:33 AM) Nasturtium: "We're pirates, that would kind of make us competitors, wouldn't it?"
(12:37:34 AM) Barzini: "Hiring? I know somebody who would be into that."
(12:37:39 AM) ***Crystal wonders what shapes our schemes might be
(12:37:52 AM) ***Barzini thinks of the party member attached to the I-Cup bosoms he thinks of first.
(12:38:20 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well, we don't do the slavery thing, if that's what you mean... officially anyway. I understand some of us do it in their spare time. But not all."
(12:38:32 AM) ***Nasturtium suddenly pictures the gainaxing Kuniko would have been doing in aerial combat
(12:38:51 AM) Nasturtium: "I meant the pyramid scheme part. And all religion is slavery."
(12:40:04 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh right. Well, I would debate it with you, but I'd need charts and the like. Um... I suppose this means I'm stuck here then, doesn't it?
(12:40:24 AM) Crystal: If you're a rare monster, why didn't the Pallydjinns protect you?
(12:40:38 AM) ***Barzini stands over the half buried demon. "Got anything to offer us besides saving our souls?"
(12:40:39 AM) Nasturtium: "Well... I just came here for a poison sac to by a new corset, and I got two *holds them up*, what can you do for us?"
(12:41:04 AM) ***Crystal thinks
(12:41:16 AM) Crystal: Hey, if he's rare he might be valuable!!

(12:47:41 AM) Nax: (Wait I remember that, nevermind)
(12:49:50 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Hmm... it depends what you're interested in. Corsetry... I know some others who like corsets and the sorts. I could set you up with a meeting with the board of directors, perhaps? Maybe a big group date thing?"
(12:50:12 AM) Mister_Cavern: [sign points to party: they already have "that sort of reputation"]
(12:50:26 AM) Hobbes: ((The Hell did that have to do with anything, Nast?))
(12:50:38 AM) Nasturtium: ((trolling you guys?))
(12:50:53 AM) Nasturtium: "We're more interested in power. We fulfil our own pervert quota, thanks."
(12:51:32 AM) Hobbes: ((Kind of a jump scare.))
(12:51:37 AM) Nasturtium: ((yeah))
(12:51:56 AM) ***Sparkles is currently mending her chain shirt/robe with magic while in her Sailor guise.
(12:52:21 AM) Hobbes: ((So, 0/10 just plain old shock images are more haunting than that.))
(12:52:39 AM) Nasturtium: ((it's not about haunting, it's about the jump scare))
(12:52:40 AM) Mister_Cavern: ((cool HTML/whatever effect though to make it skip like that))
(12:52:50 AM) Nasturtium: ((yeah))
(12:53:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Hmm. Yes, we can't really offer power that isn't a result of worship. I suppose I'll need to stay here then. Don't worry, I'm not really motivated enough to swear revenge."
(12:53:26 AM) Nasturtium: "Oh, well, I'm perfectly happy with *being* worshipped"
(12:53:30 AM) Hobbes: "What, are you cleric of the God of Apathy?"
(12:53:40 AM) Mister_Cavern: (( http://images.4chan.org/v/src/1328073948446.png ))
(12:53:56 AM) Nasturtium: ((lol))
(12:54:24 AM) Nasturtium: ((sad thing is, my life is sad enough that I've considered, fleetingly, getting one of those pillowcases....))
(12:54:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: "No, I follow the god of jackalkind. In general we all follow him. All jackalkind, that is. Even the regular dogs."
(12:54:26 AM) Nax: ( *facepalm* )
(12:54:45 AM) Nasturtium: "But could you get people to worship me?"
(12:55:14 AM) Crystal: That would be the god of horndogs
(12:55:23 AM) Mister_Cavern: "It would really be bad form, but I suppose if you had some kind of worshipper who was added to our board of directors..." He starts to look hopeful at this
(12:56:01 AM) Nasturtium: "Hmm... Ok, I'll pull you out if you agree to stay on as a consultant to get me a worshipper to put on your board."
(12:56:16 AM) Barzini: "We have someone who wants to be worshipped, but I think she's figured out the way to get the attention she seeks." he grins, "If she'd just stop being so shy about it."
(12:56:57 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well. I guess that sounds like a deal, then. Certainly, and I'll take time off my job to convert some people to your worship for the time being to hasten this."
(12:57:11 AM) Nasturtium: "Perfect."
(12:57:20 AM) Nasturtium: "Lets get digging, crew!"
(12:57:24 AM) ***Crystal makes Ice Shovels
(12:58:09 AM) Nasturtium: (( http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/ph ... 8_460s.jpg ))
(12:58:10 AM) ***Hobbes directs Lilith to begin digging. Shovel optional.
(12:58:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: One thing worth noting is that there are no actual ants in the area. The honey was a nice idea, but... you need actual ants for it to be more than an annoyance. Still, after some amount of digging, he is freed. His eyes gleam yellow in a non-magical way.
(12:58:52 AM) ***Barzini starts digging, "You know, worshippers wouldn't be too bad. Think you could get me on some of that?"
(12:59:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: "My thanks, and I am a man of my word. I will assist you in gaining divine influence in this Netherworld."
(12:59:29 AM) Barzini: (*in on)
(12:59:38 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I'm sure there are enough to go around, out there."
(12:59:41 AM) Nasturtium: (brb)
(1:00:25 AM) Barzini: "Good man, Mertal. Just keep your word and we won't make you walk the plank or anything."
(1:01:21 AM) Barzini: "DivineCorp. I bet you get good business from the Celestials."
(1:02:07 AM) Hobbes: "Who buried you here?"
(1:02:08 AM) Mister_Cavern: "You would think so, but they seem to be too bogged down in paperwork and bureaucracy these days, and not actual worship and divinity. It sickens me..." He turns to Sparkles. "Present company excluded of course."
(1:02:17 AM) Sparkles: "Of course."
(1:03:05 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well it's a bit embarrassing... I tried to do a little Planeshifting, and ended up out in the middle of the desert. And not precisely at ground level. When I fell, I landed on some kind of squirrel creature, and next thing I knew these brutish men were clobbering me..."
(1:03:27 AM) Crystal: Did they have heavy armor and rapiers?
(1:03:29 AM) Barzini: "Squirrels? Brutish men?"
(1:03:50 AM) Hobbes: "I think he helped kill one of the paladins' endangered species. Now we have to help him."
(1:03:54 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Yes, just as you say, miss! Heavy armour, pointy weapons. You've met these?"
(1:04:17 AM) Crystal: Yeah, they're the Pallydjinns who guard the rare and scratchy animals
(1:04:38 AM) Mister_Cavern: Once he's completely free, he dusts himself off. "And I think this is just their dumping grounds. You should see the trash they left lying underground there,"
(1:04:42 AM) Crystal: We were sort of helping them out
(1:05:00 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh my. I hope this won't complicate matters then."
(1:05:16 AM) Barzini: "Underground wherE?"
(1:05:19 AM) Hobbes: "Not really. Were we planning on killing the Rocs on our way out? I'd forgot to bring it up earlier."
(1:05:30 AM) Nasturtium: "Wait, doesn't this kind of thing constitute torture? Isn't that evil?"
(1:06:06 AM) Crystal: Well we should go back to get whatever reward we can from them for killing the Babarlith
(1:06:16 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Right under where I was. I think my foot got caught in the hinges of some kind of crate down there, and there were empty coconut shells and at least one needle"
(1:06:40 AM) ***Barzini furrows his brow, and starts digging in the pet.
(1:06:43 AM) Barzini: (*pit)
(1:06:50 AM) ***Nasturtium helps dig
(1:06:50 AM) ***Crystal goes back to digging
(1:07:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: (("What's that? Potential TREASAAR?"))
(1:07:08 AM) Crystal: We'll have to check this out
(1:07:18 AM) Nasturtium: ("DID SOMEBODY SAY BURIED TREASAR!!!!??!?!?")
(1:07:54 AM) Mister_Cavern: Indeed, there are empty coconuts - with straws in them. And some old newspapers. Tissues. A sewing needle (possibly discovered by jabbing a finger). And a massive coffin. Also a masterwork hat-stand and a waterclock.
(1:08:15 AM) ***Nasturtium pulls out the coffin
(1:08:40 AM) Crystal: Sweet +1 to hat storage!!!
(1:08:56 AM) Mister_Cavern: It's pretty big. And old. The chains holding it together have come loose, too.
(1:09:03 AM) Nasturtium: ((how much longer are we thinking of going?))
(1:09:21 AM) Crystal: This'll go great in my cabin!!!
(1:09:21 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Not too long - wrapping up soon, and then NEW ADVENTURE next week!)
(1:09:47 AM) Nasturtium: ((cool, I need to go to bed soon. Early early shift in school kitchen tomorrow))
(1:09:59 AM) ***Barzini keeps his eyes on the coffin. "Crystal do you even wear hats?"
(1:10:22 AM) ***Nasturtium opens the coffin a crack
(1:10:30 AM) ***Crystal has a glistening tiara on
(1:10:34 AM) Nax is now known as Fionnlagh
(1:10:43 AM) Crystal: Well, with this, I could start!!!
(1:10:54 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is a WHOOSH of ancient, dusty air, and the lid is hurled open. A cloud of miasma rises up, and then...
(1:11:01 AM) Nasturtium: "Hmm... I have been collecting more hats..."
(1:11:59 AM) Crystal: Wouldn't I look good in a Top hat?
(1:12:06 AM) Fionnlagh: Inside the coffin was a near full body plate of armor laying down arms crossed as if waiting for someone to pick it up, the only think odd that strikes attention is it's oddly white color and it's missing helmet
(1:12:13 AM) Fionnlagh: *thing
(1:12:53 AM) ***Sparkles uses her Life Sense to check if it's alive. Or undead.
(1:13:09 AM) Crystal: See see, somebody didn't store their headgear properly, and now it's missing from the fancy armor!! See!!
(1:13:44 AM) ***Nasturtium cocks her gun, leveling the perpetually smoking barrel of the scorching ray pistol at the ...thing.
(1:13:57 AM) Mister_Cavern: Bip bip bip [Undead Detected]
(1:13:58 AM) Barzini: "Seems pretty weird they'd bury the empty armor in a coffin."
(1:14:19 AM) ***Barzini Appraises the armor.
(1:14:57 AM) Crystal: I guess they just couldn't afford a proper mausoleum
(1:16:11 AM) Sparkles: "So it looks like this is some sort of armor zombie or something?"
(1:16:18 AM) Sparkles: "Or undead at any rate."
(1:16:23 AM) Crystal: A whatwhat now?
(1:16:27 AM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+13 Appraise, appraise, appraise the new undead
(1:16:28 AM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+13 Appraise, appraise, appraise the new undead : (17) 30
(1:16:30 AM) Nasturtium: "so what now?"
(1:16:39 AM) Sparkles: ((THE UNDEAD IS VERY EXPENSIVE))
(1:16:55 AM) Crystal: (( he must be another rare monster ))
(1:17:07 AM) Hobbes: ((Let's sell it for wine and women.))
(1:17:13 AM) Nasturtium: Agreed
(1:17:44 AM) Barzini: "Pretty decent armor. Maybe we should sell it..."
(1:18:18 AM) Fionnlagh: Just as the armor was being inspected it suddenally grabs hold of the side of the coffin and begins to stand, spirital energy begining to seep out of it's neck hole and slowly form a two tailed scarf, ".......The first thing I see after waking up is a bunch of misfits diggers....alright, so now that you see me awake you're probably gonna run in fear now" It spoke, somehow, acting as if this has happened to him before
(1:18:20 AM) Crystal: But we'll have to carry it back to the chip
(1:18:21 AM) Hobbes: ((Urrgh. Can't stay awake another second. We're pretty much done anyway, I'll bow out early.)0
(1:18:36 AM) Hobbes left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.87 [Firefox 3.6.25/20111212142243]).
(1:18:39 AM) Nasturtium: "Hey Rammy, call the bees"
(1:18:49 AM) ***Crystal is insulted
(1:19:02 AM) Crystal: WHO ARE YOU CALLING MISFITS?
(1:19:21 AM) Sparkles: "Why would we run in fear? We can so totally take you."
(1:19:44 AM) Mister_Cavern: [Fionnlagh has been abducted by the party]
(1:19:52 AM) Barzini: "Talking armor. I hear that's really rare."
(1:19:56 AM) Nasturtium: "Nope" *levels scorching ray pistol at the thing's "head"*
(1:20:18 AM) Fionnlagh: The armor turns to Sparkles, one of the tails of his scarf moving upwards in confusion, ".....Have none of you lads and lasses ever heard of a Dullahan?"
(1:20:19 AM) ***Sparkles starts glowing for no apparent reason. Even more than usual.
(1:20:21 AM) Crystal: I mean really, can't you see that this corset is Perfectly fitted!!! Why the nerve!!
(1:21:14 AM) Crystal: A doll-a-what now?
(1:21:26 AM) Nasturtium: "Haven't you ever heard of Nasturtium Majus and her illustrious and dangerous pirate crew, sailing the majestic Rhododendron Rampent?"
(1:21:36 AM) ***Crystal blinks at her train of indignation being interrupoted
(1:21:41 AM) Nasturtium: Rammy: stands a bit taller
(1:22:25 AM) Nasturtium: puffed up with pride
(1:22:38 AM) Crystal: That better be a fancy word for apologizing
(1:22:45 AM) Sparkles: "Sure. Dullahan. Talking armor thingy. Still could totally take you. Just saying."
(1:22:55 AM) Fionnlagh: "Kids these days don't even care to learn about old legends" The armor mutters as it turns away, "Alright, so where am I, a thousand years and this lan' don't look a bit familiar to me"
(1:23:51 AM) Crystal: Er Sparkles, is that "take" as in "loot" or "take" as in "to the Captain's quarters" ?
(1:24:27 AM) Barzini: "Are you strong, Dullahan? I already have a minion that's practically metal and paint. Not very fun to feel up."
(1:24:55 AM) Nasturtium: "You're on the island of turtle, your likely quite valuable suit of armour and coffin were buried in the desert under this man who's going to help me become a goddess, and now you're in the middle of a bunch of trigger happy, greedy pirates, who are no strangers to killing a man and selling off everything of value about him."
(1:24:56 AM) Barzini: "Hardest worker, though."
(1:25:19 AM) Sparkles: "'Take' as in 'fight in a manner that leads to our victory'."
(1:25:43 AM) ***Crystal is slightly more confused than usual
(1:26:00 AM) Sparkles: "We are able to defeat him in combat, is what I'm saying here."
(1:27:30 AM) Fionnlagh: He turns towards Nasturtium, seeming to ignore Barzini and hums in a moment of thought, "........Eh, I have no quarrel for those who aren't gonna die yet, so leave this ol' spirit alone.....also read a book lad." He finally answers Barzini, patting him on the head as he starts walking away
(1:28:11 AM) Nasturtium: "So exactly how valuable was that armour?" Nast says out the corner of her mouth
(1:28:20 AM) ***Crystal is shocked at the Dollarhen patronizing Barzamus
(1:28:25 AM) Barzini: "Where do you think you're going?"
(1:29:31 AM) Fionnlagh: "M'job lad, something that doesn't invovle the lot of you" He answer simply, waving goodbye to the lot as he continues walking
(1:29:41 AM) ***Barzini does in fact, try to glean where on this island the dullahan thinks he can escape to.
(1:29:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: [Fionnlagh has been abducted by the party]
(1:30:04 AM) Nasturtium: "Hrmm... well, I got what I wanted."
(1:30:15 AM) ***Nasturtium mounts up on the bee, "ready guys?"
(1:30:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: He finds he can't leave the screen, trapped within the field of vision of the party
(1:30:22 AM) ***Sparkles waves goodbye to the strange armor
(1:30:27 AM) Crystal: What sort of job lets you take a thousand years off?
(1:30:34 AM) Mister_Cavern: So, the team have flown over challenges that are not challenges because they can't fly and the party is above level 5, killed a Bebilith to harvest its venom sacs, freed a jackal lord in exchange for divinity, and gained possession of an animated armour spirit thing.
(1:30:43 AM) ***Nasturtium grins, "quick, let's fly in the opposite direction as fast as we can"
(1:31:05 AM) ***Sparkles starts flying, circling over the main party and then takes off in the direction the Captain suggested
(1:31:28 AM) ***Barzini lifts off.
(1:31:33 AM) Fionnlagh: "What magic are you playing at pirates" He demends as he begins to storm back to the group in anger
(1:31:35 AM) Mister_Cavern: What lies in store for them next session? Could it be the mysterious letter that Crystal receives? Or could it be Food World? WHO KNOWS? There's only one way to find out: by tuning in next week, for another exciting episode of Tengen Toppa Friendship Punch!
(1:32:08 AM) Mister_Cavern is now known as Koumei

(1:32:47 AM) Nax: I do apologize Koumei, I know he was technically taken, but I wanted to see what the group would do to get him to stay
(1:32:47 AM) Koumei: So do we want the mysterious letter for Crystal, or do we want Food World? Both are going to happen, it's just a matter of the order
(1:33:00 AM) Prak: someone pm me to remind me what the original corset does?
(1:33:14 AM) Iori: I was tempted to pounce him and beat him around, but the results of doing that to fellow PCs tends to be... varied
(1:33:18 AM) Sparkles: My plan was Greater Turning + selling the armor

(1:33:21 AM) Sparkles is now known as Quantumboost

(1:33:55 AM) Prak: I was tempted to shoot what I assume to be an undead with scorching ray, but I decided it would be funnier to drag you with screen lock
(1:34:18 AM) Koumei: Quantum: it really is, yes
(1:34:26 AM) Nax: I didn't even know about the screen lock until Koumei pulled that one
(1:34:30 AM) Koumei: I'm pretty sure it's made out of carbohydrates though

(1:34:40 AM) Prak: thx
(1:34:44 AM) Nax: also I didn't mean to make him a partial stereotype
(1:34:46 AM) Iori: Didn't mean to be so ridiculously late, but I assure you that time was wasted driving around in mindless circles wasting gas as my food grew cold.
(1:34:56 AM) Koumei: ...doesn't sound fun
(1:35:02 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Ah, good to know that
(1:35:25 AM) Quantumboost: yes, many carbs
(1:35:30 AM) Iori: Hope to do better next week.
(1:35:51 AM) Prak: fun...
(1:35:56 AM) Nax: also just to let people know, the way his name is pronounced, I'm going with Fin-lay
(1:35:56 AM) Prak: yeah, I've had that happen
(1:36:14 AM) Prak: ok
(1:36:22 AM) Prak: I'm calling it a night guys
(1:36:27 AM) Nax: Night Prak
(1:36:28 AM) Koumei: Night dood
(1:36:50 AM) Nax: so to those who are still here, what'd you think of me introducing my character?
(1:37:09 AM) rabid_schnauzer: As to any Crystal-centric letter, there is a chance that I may have a job that conflicts soon - and I'll likely have only about 3 days notice if that does happen
(1:37:19 AM) Koumei:

(1:37:19 AM) Prak: wait, doesn't the corset act as armour?
(1:37:39 AM) rabid_schnauzer: No, corset is Deflection bonus
(1:37:53 AM) Prak: ah, ok
(1:37:55 AM) Prak: gotcha
(1:38:00 AM) Prak: alright, now I'm going to bed
(1:38:03 AM) Prak: see ya guys
(1:38:06 AM) Koumei: Night Prak
(1:38:08 AM) rabid_schnauzer: But only a chance, it's not a sure thing, so just have an alternate plan
(1:38:22 AM) Koumei: Will do. And if you do get the job, then congratulations
(1:38:53 AM) Prak left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: Nightstar's Java Chat http://www.nightstar.net).
(1:39:04 AM) Nax: I wish you luck Rabid
(1:39:17 AM) Nax: but yes, back to the question, was I...okay?
(1:40:03 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Well there's gonna be some tension around the new party member and his gruff ways contrasting with our general zaniness
(1:40:08 AM) Iori: Fin and Barzini will probably have to mess with each other a bit to come to terms with each other, or something. He didn't really sign on as a member of the ship's crew.
(1:41:31 AM) Iori: So he's vaguely in a vassal-ish sort of state right now, and he didn't answer the question about being strong. Barz will be messing with him until they see eye to eye. And then yes, he doesn't seem like such a piratey fellow, which will have to be resolved all around.
(1:41:39 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Nast will doubtless try to see, or at least feel what's inside the armor, which could be potentially entertaining
(1:42:24 AM) Nax: Well, you know, when a guy who's ego is so high because he feels similar to the grim reaper himself in what he does, which is to basically find those who're about to die and basically kill them, and then being partically forced to play pirate with, pirates, well his reaction is probably obvious
(1:42:45 AM) Nax: based on the Dullahan legend mind you
(1:43:15 AM) rabid_schnauzer: He'll likely get along with Hobbes just fine though
(1:43:33 AM) Iori: Yeah. Someone like that will need to find a common ground with pirates.
(1:43:52 AM) Iori: What comes to mind is how Captain Gordon was treated by the demons.
(1:44:18 AM) Quantumboost: Generally, introducing yourself in a way that results in you walking away from the party and them mostly ignoring you is a... risky endeavour.
(1:44:20 AM) Iori: in Disgaea 1 that is.
(1:44:44 AM) Nax: as I said, huge Ego, and I wanted to see what the party would do to stop him
(1:45:10 AM) Quantumboost: Yes. The thing is, that risks the possibility of the party not stopping him.
(1:45:19 AM) Nax: yes they're trigger happy but....they've done smart things before too right...?
(1:45:35 AM) Nax: well that's true...
(1:45:51 AM) Nax: but if that was the case I would've made him end up trying to get aboard the ship to leave the island
(1:46:54 AM) Quantumboost: Long as you know the risks, then.
(1:47:12 AM) Nax: I'm just glad they didn't try to outright kill me
(1:47:17 AM) Nax: er, him
(1:47:57 AM) Iori: Barz wouldn't have killed him, just beat him up a little, and I've learned not to try things like that with players I don't know that well, because like I said, mixed results.

(1:48:58 AM) Nax: speaking of Barz, mind if I ask what his intellgence score is?
(1:50:00 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Crystal would have egged the two of you on to fight though
(1:50:59 AM) Nax: Well even if they fought Fin wouldn't have killed anyway
(1:51:17 AM) Nax: he only kills what's gonna die
(1:51:39 AM) Nax: or what will die
(1:51:56 AM) Nax: so basically he'll only kill someone if they attempt to kill him first or something
(1:51:57 AM) Iori: INT 15.
(1:52:20 AM) Nax: .....I am so tired that all that clashed.
(1:52:38 AM) Nax: let's just call it plot convinece
(1:52:59 AM) Nax: anyway, I asked Iori cause Fin is gonna make Barz read a book about Dullahan's
(1:53:06 AM) Nax: and the entire crew too
(1:53:12 AM) Nax: but first Barz
(1:53:29 AM) Iori: He's got max ranks in K:Planes but zip in K:Religion, which is what undead fall under.
(1:54:18 AM) Nax: Well true, but even if you know a thing or two about Religion, do you think that they'd tell Religious folk about an old fairy tale?
(1:54:29 AM) Nax: or those who learn about Religion
(1:54:30 AM) Iori: But regardless yeah they'll probably be grating on each other until we have our next encounter, and the two can see what they can do.
(1:55:10 AM) Iori: Then after that, there'll be the respect, but Fin will have to roll like a pirate for the crew to love him, I think.
(1:55:49 AM) Nax: I just realized I made the most non-minion minion character
(1:56:16 AM) Iori: So he was supposed to be a minion char?
(1:56:22 AM) Nax: yes...
(1:56:31 AM) Nax: or at least he's not getting a share of the profits
(1:56:38 AM) Iori: I hadn't realized. Probably for the statement you just made.
(1:56:48 AM) Iori: (about it being the most non-minion minion)
(1:57:19 AM) Nax: Well the fact is I don't see him lifting his finger much to help them other than for combat and Diplomacy
(1:58:12 AM) Nax: I mean there IS a way you can make him but I'm not sure if Koumei would like that idea
(1:58:54 AM) Nax: I am such a moron..
(1:59:20 AM) Iori: So what you're saying is that we really will have to beat him up and dominate him.
(1:59:24 AM) Nax: but then again I kind of just litterally pulled his personality right out of my ass
(1:59:45 AM) Nax: either beat him up or use his weakness against him
(2:00:02 AM) Quantumboost: kittens?
(2:00:06 AM) Nax: Gold
(2:00:07 AM) Iori: And then Captain Gordon will be bringing us our underwear. After he's done scrubbing the barnacles off the underside of the ship and feeding the nekomata.
(2:00:38 AM) Nax: according to Dullahan legends (or at least what Wikipedia says), Dullahan's have a weakness to gold
(2:01:05 AM) Quantumboost: ...like, if you stab them with it?
(2:01:10 AM) Nax: oh wait, not weak
(2:01:14 AM) Nax: just frigthened
(2:01:24 AM) Quantumboost: ...and he's supposed to be on a pirate ship
(2:01:29 AM) Iori: ... wow, this guy really is backwards for a pirate ship.
(2:01:44 AM) Iori: "AAAAH! AAAH! AAAH!" "... more for us."
(2:01:44 AM) Nax: "Nonetheless, they are frightened of gold, and even a single gold pin can drive a dullahan away."
(2:02:13 AM) Iori: Johnny even has a gold tooth.
(2:02:19 AM) Nax: I'll be honest, I did not think this through completely
(2:03:05 AM) Nax: I just thought "wouldn't it be cool to be a Dullahan in a Disagea D'n'D game"....this...has bit me in the ass, SO HARD, dog's teeth would break from how hard this bit me
(2:03:07 AM) Quantumboost: evidently
(2:03:18 AM) Nax: But I'm gonna make this work
(2:03:29 AM) Quantumboost: so going to encase him in gold now
(2:03:40 AM) Iori: This party needs stowaways, rogues, and other such deviants like you would see smoking cigarrettes in a French movie.
(2:03:50 AM) Iori: Ahahaha
(2:04:00 AM) rabid_schnauzer: er, um, wasn't there a golden dildo in the sack two sessions back?
(2:04:02 AM) Iori: Mod his armor with gold trim.
(2:04:07 AM) Koumei: The lesson to be learned from this is "Just play a friggin thing from the setting, the MC specifically made a whole bunch of stuff for it, rather than digging up obscure shit"
(2:04:11 AM) Nax: Because you can smoke with your neckhole
(2:04:47 AM) Nax: This probably isn't the worse thing to play as though
(2:04:56 AM) Nax: my last session I was a mannequin...so basically a living puppet
(2:05:04 AM) Nax: imagine the firewood jokes
(2:05:08 AM) Iori: Well, no. If you'd played a celestial paladin we would have shot you in the face and taken your gear.
(2:05:50 AM) Iori: Now see, Disgaea actually accounts for mannequins.
(2:06:21 AM) Nax: yeah, no, not playing another one, lesson learned
(2:07:05 AM) Nax: but yeah, the gold thing is there if Koumei wants it to be, but either way I'm gonna play this character and damn it I'm gonna play him well
(2:07:21 AM) Nax: I made this screw up and I'm gonna work with it
(2:08:05 AM) Iori: http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Knight
(2:08:23 AM) Iori: And look at #3.
(2:08:43 AM) Iori: So that means the party probably should have known exactly what he was.
(2:09:15 AM) Nax: well yes, but wasn't the only in D1 though?
(2:09:29 AM) Nax: also I can't help but look at those and thing "is that female armor?"
(2:11:00 AM) Iori: It'll be easy to get this guy into the party then, but brace for discomfort. We have to intimidate him into doing what we want.
(2:12:07 AM) Nax: Intimidate as in threaten him, or send a bunch of girls to press their bodies against him?
(2:12:33 AM) Iori: The former, unless there was any hint that the latter would work.
(2:13:05 AM) Iori: Probably, we'll just beat him up.
Edit: adding missing week's log to this post so it's all in chronological order:
Conversation with #arbitrarystring at 2/7/2012 4:15:07 PM on rabid_schnauzer@irc.nightstar.net (irc)
(4:15:07 PM) The topic for #arbitrarystring is: TENGEN TOPPA FRIENDSHIP PUNCH (it's /nick ___)
(4:57:00 PM) rabid_schnauzer: !fortune
(4:57:02 PM) Yuffie: rabid_schnauzer, let me see your palm. ... okay. Today your lucky number is 30, your colors are indigo and black, and your luck will be pretty good.
(4:57:03 PM) Yuffie: You will have heightened senses. You're gonna pick up on everything. Like an awesome ninja warrior. But not more awesome than me. That'll be 500 gil, come again!
(4:58:00 PM) ***rabid_schnauzer wonders how pretty good luck and heightened senses result in the colors of bruising....
(5:36:32 PM) Quantumboost [Quantumboos@Nightstar-da347cef.wa.comcast.net] entered the room.
(7:12:58 PM) GX [GX@Nightstar-47529af1.dsl.look.ca] entered the room.
(7:59:54 PM) Koumei: Right... I'll be back here and ready in ~an hour. Game will be on, and if there are not enough players, there's going to be trouble. But only the kind of trouble where I post "Why didn't people show?", not the kind with guns and hammers
(8:00:16 PM) Koumei: !fortune
(8:00:18 PM) Yuffie: Koumei, let me see your palm. ... okay. Today your lucky number is 36, your colors are indigo and brown, and your luck will be way cool!
(8:00:19 PM) Yuffie: You will have heightened senses. You're gonna pick up on everything. Like an awesome ninja warrior. But not more awesome than me. That'll be 500 gil, come again!
(8:00:28 PM) ***rabid_schnauzer has hammers to spare
(8:02:43 PM) Nax [Naxium_ride@971820.CF6291.F7B2F2.6C656C] entered the room.
(8:02:58 PM) Nax: Wooo, made it
(8:10:54 PM) Nax: how's everyone today
(8:11:22 PM) Nax: or tonight, depending on yoru time zone
(8:11:28 PM) Quantumboost: decent
(8:11:34 PM) Nax: that's good
(8:51:03 PM) Hobbes [chatzilla@Nightstar-df61e01a.slkc.qwest.net] entered the room.
(8:51:09 PM) Hobbes is now known as Chamomile
(8:52:08 PM) Nax: Hello Cham .w.
(9:00:21 PM) Chamomile: Hi.
(9:01:12 PM) Nax: how're you?
(9:02:24 PM) icyshadow [icyshadow@Nightstar-547dd3cc.elisa-laajakaista.fi] entered the room.
(9:02:30 PM) icyshadow: Hello
(9:02:39 PM) Quantumboost: heya icy
(9:04:13 PM) Nax: Hello Icy
(9:04:19 PM) NSJavaGuest-6585 [NSJavaIRC@Nightstar-86052984.scrm01.sbcglobal.net] entered the room.
(9:04:24 PM) NSJavaGuest-6585 is now known as Prak
(9:04:33 PM) Prak: hey all
(9:04:58 PM) Nax: .......looks like we have one missing
(9:05:43 PM) icyshadow: And that is?
(9:05:54 PM) ***icyshadow is very fucking tired this time.
(9:06:08 PM) Nax: Iori
(9:06:43 PM) GX: He could be here any time now
(9:06:53 PM) GX: Usually skids in around 915
(9:07:10 PM) Nax: which might be about 8:15 my time?
(9:07:28 PM) GX: sure
(9:07:38 PM) Prak: I am now envisioning Barzini as Kramer....
(9:08:06 PM) Nax: Kramer?
(9:08:15 PM) Prak: from Seinfeld
(9:09:00 PM) Nax: ........oh
(9:09:02 PM) Koumei: Okaaaaay
(9:09:06 PM) Nax: I was thinking someone else
(9:09:27 PM) icyshadow: Must...resist...falling asleep...
(9:09:45 PM) Nax: get as glass of ice water, that helps me stay up
(9:09:50 PM) Prak: *sigh* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqt1DdMj ... re=related
(9:10:27 PM) Koumei: Sit in a birar patch, that helps people stay up
(9:10:31 PM) Nax: I know who it is Prak, the name threw me off cause I didn't know how it was spelled
(9:10:45 PM) Prak: "skidding in"
(9:12:31 PM) Iori [8headed@Nightstar-2592cc06.irvnca.pacbell.net] entered the room.
(9:12:40 PM) Prak: and here he is
(9:12:52 PM) Nax: Hey
(9:13:07 PM) Iori: Good evening.
(9:13:09 PM) icyshadow: Heya
(9:13:17 PM) Prak: yo
(9:14:16 PM) Nax: So I have a question before we begin
(9:14:32 PM) Nax: should we show Fin being captured or skip after that to start the session
(9:14:47 PM) Nax: I'm asking cause I don't want to stall with padding if it isn't needed
(9:15:40 PM) Chamomile: I'd recommend we skip it. It's PvP, which is irritating, it's a foregone conclusion because Fin isn't playing unless he loses, and it doesn't really build up any characterization or plot.
(9:16:04 PM) icyshadow: Good point.
(9:16:05 PM) Koumei: I suggest skipping it, yeah
(9:16:16 PM) Nax: I'm thinking of skipping too but I wanted everyone's thoughts on it
(9:16:41 PM) icyshadow: Let's skip. I have a feeling it will be voted by everyone anyway.
(9:16:41 PM) Koumei: Also this is why I mandate for the start of any game "You all fucking know each other and work together. No exceptions."
(9:17:04 PM) GX left the room (quit: Client closed the connection).
(9:17:22 PM) Iori: A good policy for when there is no unifying organization.
(9:17:26 PM) Koumei is now known as Mister_Cavern
(9:17:36 PM) Prak is now known as Nasturtium
(9:17:40 PM) Iori is now known as Barzini
(9:17:41 PM) You are now known as Crystal
(9:17:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: What's this? The party is evolving!
(9:17:52 PM) icyshadow is now known as Kuniko
(9:18:01 PM) Quantumboost is now known as Sparkles
(9:18:09 PM) Nax is now known as Fionnlagh
(9:18:20 PM) Chamomile: Dun, duh, dun, duh, dun, duh, dun, duh...
(9:18:24 PM) Chamomile is now known as Hobbes
(9:18:35 PM) Barzini: So, the party clobbered the dark knight good.
(9:18:35 PM) ***Nasturtium presses B
(9:18:40 PM) Hobbes: Dee dee doo, deedle dee deedle dee doo.
(9:19:00 PM) ***Fionnlagh can't think of a joke
(9:19:14 PM) ***Nasturtium hands out rare candies to the party
(9:19:14 PM) Barzini: (Clearly, Fin should have bandages on his armor. In a criss crossed X shape.)
(9:19:34 PM) ***Kuniko probably had some sadistic fun with the dark knight.
(9:20:25 PM) Fionnlagh: (Actually everyone keeps calling him a dark knight, but ironically his name means "White warrior", or at least where I got it from it does)
(9:20:46 PM) Barzini: ( Because he's a dullahan, and this is what the setting says they are: http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Knight )
(9:20:50 PM) Mister_Cavern: "I'm neither dark nor technically a knight"
(9:20:54 PM) Kuniko: "...did we accidentally kill him?"
(9:21:10 PM) Nasturtium: ((and people keep calling Nast Nasturtles, even though she hasn't summoned all that many turtles))
(9:21:22 PM) Nasturtium: "Accidentally?"
(9:21:23 PM) ***Barzini shrugs, "I thought he was undead. If so, we can sell the armor."
(9:21:31 PM) Fionnlagh: (I forgot about that)
(9:21:32 PM) Nasturtium: "You mean we weren't trying to?"
(9:21:37 PM) GX [GX@Nightstar-47529af1.dsl.look.ca] entered the room.
(9:21:56 PM) Fionnlagh: (Mister Cavern, where is everyone at the moment?)
(9:22:20 PM) Hobbes: ((Mister Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?))
(9:22:24 PM) Kuniko: "I thought we took this guy in as a follower of some sort. Oh, well."
(9:22:27 PM) ***Crystal contemplates booze
(9:22:49 PM) Mister_Cavern: So, last session, the party killed the Bebilith, rescued a Jackal Lord, and gained a dark knight ally, however unwillingly. It didn't take long to return to the ship... where the mail thief awaits, scouting for the party
(9:22:52 PM) Nasturtium: "I thought we were going to sell him and use his hatrack?"
(9:22:54 PM) Kuniko: "By the way, I heard mentions of some religion expert being taken on this ship."
(9:22:59 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh, there you guys are! Ya-hooooi!"
(9:23:46 PM) ***Nasturtium fires a warning shot at the voice behind her
(9:24:27 PM) ***Crystal wonders which corner the hat rack will look best in
(9:24:55 PM) Barzini: "Yeah, Mertel's kinda creepy, I've never seen a demon like him before. But if he says that he'll get me some worshippers, he's okay with me."
(9:25:46 PM) Kuniko: "You? I'm the one in need of them right now."
(9:26:12 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey, I'm the one who brought him on board. My worshippers first."
(9:26:25 PM) ***Crystal doesn't believe in worshippers
(9:26:56 PM) Fionnlagh: "Ooooooh.......by death...what hit me..." Fin sits up, rubbing his neckrim, seeming to have been knocked out for some time
(9:27:04 PM) ***Sparkles never really cared about divine magic anyway.
(9:27:16 PM) Nasturtium: "The edge of the screen."
(9:28:17 PM) Fionnlagh: "....I'm not gonna question whatever new fangled magic you kids have nowadays....where'd you take me, the pawn shop?"
(9:28:31 PM) Kuniko: "If you haven't noticed, this is a ship."
(9:28:33 PM) Crystal: Ohhh, it's awake!!!
(9:28:44 PM) Crystal: The Rhoddodenren Rampant!!!
(9:28:57 PM) Hobbes: "You've been pillaged."
(9:29:00 PM) ***Barzini smiles at Kuniko, "I told Mertel about you already. But I need a few too, for my own plans."
(9:29:16 PM) ***Nasturtium grins, "Not yet he hasn't. Rammy? Prepare to pillage."
(9:29:54 PM) ***Kuniko gives a slight glance at Barzini before turning her attention back to the confused armor.
(9:30:46 PM) ***Sparkles goes back to working on the magitek hookups to the Ravid
(9:31:10 PM) Fionnlagh: "Hopefully not one that flies about?" Fin asks, quickly standing and walking over to what he assumes is the captain (Nas)
(9:31:32 PM) ***Crystal (( decides on Sake ))
(9:31:57 PM) Hobbes: "We're working on it."
(9:31:58 PM) Nasturtium: "the ship? We're working on that."
(9:32:03 PM) ***Barzini turns his attention to the killer armor. "Rozen Queen, actually."
(9:32:04 PM) Hobbes: "Jinx."
(9:32:25 PM) Nasturtium: "Captain."
(9:32:39 PM) Fionnlagh: "Not engine flight, right?"
(9:32:48 PM) ***Kuniko goes back to her own cabin, probably to have a chat with Mariko.
(9:33:18 PM) Nasturtium: "More likely Ravid-powered flight. ...though those mushrooms really should have worked..."
(9:33:32 PM) ***Barzini calls after Kuniko, "Hey, tell Mariko she's still my favorite new stowaway."
(9:34:04 PM) Mister_Cavern: Having been shot at, the mail-thief peeks her head back up around the corner. "Um... excuse me? I uh... there are letters here."
(9:34:23 PM) Barzini: "Eh? Letters from who?"
(9:34:26 PM) Nasturtium: "Mail? How'd you get on my ship?"
(9:35:09 PM) ***Kuniko frowns at Barzini, though gives a quiet "Fine..." before she shuts the door.
(9:35:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: "It was just parked on the edge of the island, real easy to wander up to. Yeah, mail. Let's see... who here is Crystal? Also one for 'The Residents.'"
(9:35:52 PM) ***Crystal jumps up and down
(9:35:55 PM) Crystal: MEEEEE!
(9:35:56 PM) Barzini: (Wow, thieves were female in the J version, and male in the NA version.)
(9:35:59 PM) Crystal: I'm BOTH!!!!
(9:36:08 PM) ***Nasturtium hands the residents letter to Rammy
(9:36:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: (They were male in the NA version? Huh)
(9:36:52 PM) Barzini: (According to the wiki. I looked it up because I was trying to remember what gender they were supposed to be.)
(9:37:02 PM) Fionnlagh: (Maybe in the early ones, but I know for damn sure that in 3 and 4 they're female)
(9:37:02 PM) ***Barzini peers at the thief quizzically, trying to determine gender.
(9:37:17 PM) Fionnlagh: (there's even dialogue in 4 that proves it)
(9:37:26 PM) Mister_Cavern: The thief blinks as the letters are quickly snatched away. Then notices Barzini staring. "Uh... what are you staring at?"
(9:37:56 PM) ***Crystal shakes envelope and listens to try to guess contents
(9:38:07 PM) Barzini: "Uh, well... we have a custom on our ship... taught to us by our captain, yeah.... ..."
(9:38:21 PM) ***Barzini grabs the thief's crotch, Metal Gear Solid 2 style.
(9:38:57 PM) ***Kuniko walks back out of the room after a short chat with Mariko, only to see Barzini grabbing crotches.
(9:39:01 PM) Kuniko: "...what the..."
(9:39:12 PM) Nasturtium: "Ship custom, Kuniko."
(9:39:41 PM) ***Kuniko slowly backs off and closes the door after hearing Nasturtium, thinking she'd better not ask.
(9:40:46 PM) Fionnlagh: "......That's a girl boyo, and I'm sure she doesn't apperciate you doing that"
(9:41:26 PM) Nasturtium: "You're just jealous, hat rack"
(9:41:27 PM) ***Barzini blinks.
(9:41:35 PM) Barzini: "How could you tell?"
(9:42:13 PM) Fionnlagh: "Trust me lad, you kill as much as I have and you'll be able to tell real fast"
(9:42:33 PM) Barzini: "Uh, pardon me mail lady. Ship custom."
(9:43:04 PM) Nasturtium: "Really? I find it hard to believe you've killed as much as Barz or I..."
(9:43:20 PM) Crystal: What does killing have to do with it?
(9:43:35 PM) Barzini: "You can grab me back if you like. But watch my special accessory."
(9:43:50 PM) Crystal: Now, raping I could see...but if you kill them, it doesn't matter....
(9:44:10 PM) Hobbes: "You mean therape."
(9:44:11 PM) Fionnlagh: "I'm over a thousand years old Ma'am, I can say that I have" He said to Nas, a bit of anger in his voice
(9:44:26 PM) Hobbes: "And still only level 8?"
(9:44:42 PM) ***Barzini laughs. "Who here isn't over a thousand? I'm almost two thousand."
(9:45:12 PM) Nasturtium: "I'm.... you know, I'm not sure. Bill, how old am I?"
(9:45:18 PM) Barzini: "Maybe the prinnies are that young."
(9:45:29 PM) Nasturtium: Bill: "20 Ma'am."
(9:45:45 PM) Nasturtium: "Ah, damn, well, Rammy is only a few weeks, ...ish."
(9:45:58 PM) ***Sparkles walks back in trailing a cable "I'm actually only about 200, I think. I lost exact count a couple decades ago."
(9:46:08 PM) Kuniko: ( I wonder what Kuniko would be chatting about with Mariko...probably just how the family is doing and such... )
(9:46:21 PM) Crystal: Well a real lady never reveals her age
(9:46:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: "...um... can you stop that?"
(9:47:23 PM) Hobbes: "Captain, you might want to think about some stricter hiring standards..."
(9:47:23 PM) Nasturtium: "Would you rather I check?"
(9:47:24 PM) Mister_Cavern: Yes, Mariko would have plenty to talk about regarding the family. Apparently the pet sabrekitty is doing well.
(9:47:42 PM) Mister_Cavern: It has already eaten six intruders, leaving nothing but bones.
(9:47:53 PM) Mister_Cavern: The check reveals zero penises, for the record
(9:48:08 PM) ***Kuniko is glad to hear of this, though she wonders if their father is worried about either of them.
(9:48:14 PM) Kuniko: ( Probably not. )
(9:48:20 PM) ***Barzini has released the mail lady immediately, having discovered that she is in fact a girl dressed somewhat boyishly.
(9:48:22 PM) Mister_Cavern: As for the letters, shaking them results in no sound
(9:48:44 PM) Nasturtium: Rammy carefully opens the Resident one
(9:48:52 PM) Barzini: "You've got a pretty good eye for someone with no head."
(9:48:55 PM) Mister_Cavern: Their father was a little converned when Kuniko left... and she has no idea how he has reacted to her own leaving. Given she wasn't there when it happened.
(9:49:09 PM) ***Barzini grins, "But you're still kinda silly."
(9:49:24 PM) Sparkles: "Hey Barzini, your soul acts as a planar energy conduit, right?"
(9:49:39 PM) Kuniko: "...maybe we should send him a letter and say we're on an adventure. Just so he wouldn't need to send anyone after us."
(9:49:56 PM) ***Crystal attempts to use hatrack as unwieldly letter opener
(9:50:08 PM) Mister_Cavern: The letter reads: "Dear Residents: it has come to our attention that you have not fulfilled the contractual obligations of the [Ale Fetching Quest]. Due to this, we have contacted a tavern that is in need of more ale, and arranged for you to talk to them. (c)
(9:50:33 PM) Barzini: "Yep, when I shoot off those fireballs and lightning bolts, that's the Netherworld talking."
(9:50:54 PM) Nasturtium: "Ale fetching quest? Hmm... anyone remember an ale fetching quest?"
(9:51:17 PM) ***Barzini blinks. "Didn't we 'fetch' a bunch of stuff from BoozeCorp?"
(9:51:20 PM) Mister_Cavern: They are located in the Northern Cross, you will recognise the tavern as being painted bright blue. Signed: AR"
(9:51:25 PM) Crystal: Did the mushroom booze count as ale?
(9:51:25 PM) ***Sparkles hands him the cable. "Excellent, please hold this. I need to do a final test of the reactor core's output limiters."
(9:51:49 PM) ***Barzini asks Stapler and Strawberry about these things since they both worked there.
(9:51:53 PM) ***Kuniko walks out of the cabin with a written letter at hand. "Is that mail thief still here?"
(9:52:08 PM) Crystal: Or was it a Porter or a Stout?
(9:52:12 PM) Nasturtium: "That's what I was thinking. Lets.... wait, somehow bringing ale to a tavern seems fundamentally wrong..."
(9:52:35 PM) Mister_Cavern: As for Crystal's letter: "Crystal, we have your father. Bring fifty thousand Hell to your house by the end of the week or we kill him and feed him to the aquatic landsharks."
(9:53:03 PM) ***Crystal blinks and rereads
(9:53:05 PM) Mister_Cavern: The mail thief is backing away, just about to dive overboard when she hears Kuniko. "Huh? Uh yeah, why?"
(9:53:37 PM) Fionnlagh left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
(9:53:41 PM) Kuniko: Hey, you mind sending this to the following address... *Tells of the address of the Soga main residence and hands the letter to the thief*
(9:53:58 PM) Mister_Cavern: "You don't also need to do that ship tradition thing, do you? Oh... sure thing, I'll get it there post haste!"
(9:54:15 PM) Mister_Cavern: She then takes a dive, and is off to the destination...
(9:54:16 PM) ***Nasturtium reaches over and fondles the mail thief
(9:54:32 PM) ***Kuniko noticed the captain just miss the fondle attempt.
(9:54:36 PM) Kuniko: "..."
(9:54:46 PM) Hobbes: ((I'm trying to remember...We did the booze place and the animal reserve place, the martial/marital arts one I missed, what was the fourth one and did we do it?))
(9:55:25 PM) ***Sparkles walks off to perform the output limiter test
(9:55:36 PM) Crystal: Wheeeeereeeee's Johhhhhnnny?!?!?!?
(9:55:56 PM) ***Crystal rushes off distraught, looking for our shark
(9:55:57 PM) ***Nasturtium has tentacles, she didn't miss, she caught the mail thief in mid air and dropped her after the fondle
(9:56:00 PM) Barzini: "It was a she, captain. One you can't really snatch up because she has to send our mail off. But you can have her, she's a little too tomboyish for my tastes."
(9:56:22 PM) Kuniko: "...I'd prefer my letter arriving at it's destination."
(9:56:24 PM) Nasturtium: "I wonder if mail thieves count as useful objects...."
(9:56:42 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> *is most likely in the water around spooking the poor mail thief by simply existing*
(9:58:18 PM) ***Crystal splashes around trying to find him
(9:59:19 PM) Barzini: "Crystal is going to grope the mail carrier too?"
(9:59:39 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> *is easily found?*
(9:59:42 PM) Crystal: Weeee gottta talk -- your cousins are gonna eat my dad!!!
(10:00:24 PM) Kuniko: "So, captain. Where were we heading next?"
(10:01:24 PM) ***Crystal waves letter around in the surf frantically
(10:01:46 PM) Nasturtium: "I guess we should bring booze to that tavern, I mean, what with us having Boozecorp, and all."
(10:02:08 PM) Hobbes: "Don't we have subordinates to do that sort of thing for us?"
(10:02:43 PM) Nasturtium: "yes, but apparently we're supposed to go ourselves."
(10:02:56 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> Is he tasty?
(10:03:18 PM) Kuniko: "Sounds odd." *She then turns to look at Crystal and Johnny* ...?
(10:03:35 PM) Crystal: Nononono he's old and stringy...and they want FIFTY THOUSAND
(10:03:45 PM) ***Crystal holds up five fingers to emphasize the number
(10:04:08 PM) Mister_Cavern: (That's as many as five thousand tens. And that's terrible)
(10:04:55 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> Where are they?
(10:05:19 PM) Crystal: They're your cousins --- don't *you* know??
(10:06:21 PM) Kuniko: ( Nax might not be back. His router is being a bitch. )
(10:06:36 PM) ***Sparkles activates the main reactor, hopefully giving Barzini enough charge to feel tingly but not enough to light him on fire. Probably.
(10:07:28 PM) Barzini: "Whaaa!?"
(10:08:39 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> Negative.
(10:08:47 PM) Crystal: Because if you don't know, then we'll have to detour the ship off of the alefetching!!!!
(10:09:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: The two helpful... helpers... try to give help. "Um... you fetched booze, but you fetched it from us and for you." "Isn't a fetch quest when you go from one tavern to another, to bring booze back to the first?"
(10:09:53 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Usually there are bandits and/or goblins on the way."
(10:09:57 PM) ***Crystal flits off to find Nasterrpins
(10:10:26 PM) ***Barzini drops the cables. "What is this thing supposed to be attached to!?"
(10:10:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Ok, so we're bring booze back, from the company we now own. What's the problem?"
(10:10:54 PM) Crystal: Captain, Captain, emergency, we gotta change course!!!!
(10:11:08 PM) Nasturtium: "Why?"
(10:11:22 PM) ***Crystal thrusts no soggy ransom demand letter in Nast's face
(10:11:33 PM) Crystal: ((er NOW soggy even ))
(10:11:51 PM) ***Sparkles comes back in after the reactor is back off. "Is Barzini on fire?"
(10:12:06 PM) Nasturtium: "So they're going to eat your dad if you don't pay 50,000 hell?"
(10:12:35 PM) Crystal: That what is says, we gotta get there to help!!!
(10:12:47 PM) Crystal: Did I say help? I meant
(10:12:59 PM) Crystal: Plunder whatever other ransoms they've already received!!!
(10:13:13 PM) Nasturtium: "Ah ha! Any clue where they are?"
(10:13:48 PM) Kuniko: "...maybe your home?"
(10:13:51 PM) Crystal: Well it says they want the Hell at my house....
(10:14:08 PM) Nasturtium: "Ok, show me on the map where your house is"
(10:14:16 PM) Crystal: but I've been living in the cabin onboard the ship for the past year...so that would mean
(10:14:18 PM) ***Nasturtium figures out where the tavern is on the map"
(10:14:29 PM) Crystal: THEY'RE ALREADY ONBOARD!!!!
(10:14:39 PM) ***Sparkles facepalms. "Your OLD home, Crystal."
(10:14:56 PM) Nasturtium: "Godsdamnit! Bill! Keep strangers off my ship, damnit!"
(10:14:58 PM) Sparkles: "Though be sure to check your cabin just in case."
(10:15:03 PM) ***Crystal blinks
(10:15:27 PM) Crystal: Oh, yeah, that would make sense, thanks Sparkles
(10:15:42 PM) ***Barzini is smokier than usual, "We should use these bees as couriers. Aye aye, Stapler, Strawberry."
(10:15:52 PM) Hobbes: "If we get the hell out of Crystal's house, will we still have time to run the fetch quest?"
(10:16:06 PM) Sparkles: "Anyway, looks like the limiters are mostly working. Might need to fine-tune them. We'll be airborne in no time!"
(10:16:08 PM) Nasturtium: "That's what I'm trying to figure out."
(10:16:10 PM) Barzini: (in b4 Abbott and Costello act)
(10:16:26 PM) Sparkles: "Figuratively no time, anyway. Not in time to do whatever this next mission is."
(10:16:42 PM) Kuniko: "I think we should be able to help with Crystal's father in time."
(10:17:34 PM) Nasturtium: "Show me on the map where they want to eat your dad"
(10:18:15 PM) Crystal: Well it says aquatic, so probably in the big blue area
(10:18:17 PM) ***Hobbes studies the map carefully, comparing distances, calculating average speed based on probable winds and tides, then asks Mister Cavern if they have to pick one or the other.
(10:18:40 PM) ***Nasturtium facepalms
(10:18:46 PM) ***Barzini sweatdrops, deadpan face. "So, Johhny doesn't know, Crystal doesn't know either, and the message didn't say. Those kidnappers ought to reconsider the terms of this negotiation..."
(10:19:33 PM) Nasturtium: "Look at it this way, Crystal. My dad died before I was born, look how I turned out!"
(10:20:32 PM) ***Barzini stares at Nasturtium.
(10:20:50 PM) ***Crystal thought alarunes germinated
(10:21:02 PM) Sparkles: "I don't think I even had a father, so much as a giant spawning pool."
(10:21:22 PM) Nasturtium: "My seed pod was kept in the cargo hold."
(10:21:49 PM) ***Barzini blinks, "Celestials come from a spawning pool?"
(10:21:56 PM) Kuniko: "Odd."
(10:22:16 PM) Sparkles: "Well we certainly didn't come from a Spire..."
(10:22:56 PM) Barzini: "What about a Hatchery?"
(10:23:43 PM) Sparkles: "Well, I'm pretty sure Avorals come from eggs, but for the most part no."
(10:24:27 PM) Nasturtium: "I'm pretty sure a hatchery and spawning pool could both be on a spire."
(10:24:27 PM) Barzini: (Hydralisk Den would kill it, and just "Den" would be inviting a fresh new line of gags...)
(10:24:33 PM) ***Hobbes spawns more overlords.
(10:25:15 PM) Nasturtium: "Anyway, until we have a better idea of where Crystal's dad is the buffet, we'll have to fetch that booze."
(10:25:56 PM) Crystal: Well where were we when I joined the crew?
(10:25:59 PM) Kuniko: "Hopefully they realized the faulty nature of the ransom letter."
(10:26:05 PM) Barzini: "Do you even know who the kidnappers are?"
(10:26:35 PM) Crystal: Obviously they're the ones who wrote this letter!
(10:26:35 PM) Nasturtium: "Apparently they eat celestials"
(10:27:54 PM) Sparkles: "Er... last I checked, Crystal wasn't a celestial, so why do we think her dad is?"
(10:28:28 PM) ***Crystal is unclear how this whole parentage thing works with the minion and extra gain systems
(10:28:35 PM) Nasturtium: "Wait, then... ok, what are you again, crystal?"
(10:29:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: ...Crystal is an Empusa
(10:29:02 PM) ***Crystal blinks
(10:29:09 PM) Crystal: Why a sex demon, captain
(10:29:17 PM) Nasturtium: "Ah, right."
(10:29:33 PM) Nasturtium: "So... wait, which of your parents was the sex demon?"
(10:29:35 PM) Kuniko: "...wait, does that mean your father is an incubus?"
(10:29:54 PM) ***Kuniko is terrified of the thought.
(10:31:38 PM) ***Crystal (( OoC: has nothing established on parents and doesn't want to conflict with any planned MC plot points ))
(10:35:23 PM) ***Crystal wanders afk briefly as she tries to recall relevant details of her life before joining the crew
(10:35:50 PM) Nasturtium: ((Koumei, I want that thing you described in our rp....))
(10:36:13 PM) Kuniko: (( ...curiousity has been roused. ))
(10:36:45 PM) Nasturtium: ((suffice to say, it'd be expensive.))
(10:37:55 PM) ***Barzini thinks to himself, you can practically see the thought bubble over his head. He mumbles, "Crystal's dad has big wings and his spine dangling out...?"
(10:39:25 PM) Mister_Cavern: ((You really can feel free to remember him however you like. He isn't the one statted out as an enemy here))
(10:40:37 PM) Crystal: !dice 1d12
(10:40:37 PM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d12 : 6
(10:40:47 PM) ***Kuniko frowns at Barzini while looking on.
(10:42:18 PM) Crystal: No, Dad's not a incubus...he was a Marionette
(10:42:50 PM) Nasturtium: "Who'd want to eat a marionetter?"
(10:42:54 PM) Nasturtium: *marionette
(10:43:03 PM) ***Barzini perks up, "Really... my grandpa is one too. Sounds like a sophisticated gentleman!"
(10:43:19 PM) Crystal: Maybe they're termite-aquatic landsharks?
(10:44:52 PM) Nasturtium: "So, can you remember where he is?"
(10:45:11 PM) Crystal: Yeah, we just established that a few minutes ago
(10:45:12 PM) Kuniko: "Termite sharks?"
(10:45:20 PM) Crystal: He's being held by kidnappers. Duh.
(10:45:42 PM) ***Nasturtium facepalms
(10:45:57 PM) Nasturtium: (( "/facepalm" really should be a command....))
(10:46:33 PM) ***Barzini slumps with a huge sweatdrop, "Okay, I think I agree with whomever said we should just go hit the tavern until we find out more. Taverns are the place to go for more information anyway!"
(10:46:35 PM) Nasturtium: "Ok, Bill, lay course to the tavern. Rammy, have some bees pick up booze from Boozecorp, Crystal, try to figure out where your father is that he's about to be eaten."
(10:46:38 PM) Crystal: We need to lay in a course to the north, not far from where I signed on.
(10:48:01 PM) Nasturtium: what direction is the tavern?
(10:50:17 PM) Mister_Cavern: North-ish
(10:50:27 PM) Nasturtium: "Northward!"
(10:50:49 PM) Mister_Cavern: So, the ship starts heading out North-ish towards the Northern Cross
(10:51:42 PM) Nasturtium: Rammy sends a small swarm of BEEEEEEEEES to Boozecorp with a note
(10:52:31 PM) Nasturtium: Note: "Miss Rammy and Nasturtium have sent us to pick up as much booze as we can carry and still fly. You will all receive a bonus in your next paycheck."
(10:53:09 PM) Hobbes: ((Is the bonus rape?))
(10:53:25 PM) Nasturtium: ((real question is, when is their next paycheck))
(10:53:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: Some time units later, the ship slides up near the cluster of islands that make up the Northern Cross. There is a big old bright blue tavern in the middlemost isle.
(10:53:48 PM) Nasturtium: -/trollface
(10:53:57 PM) Barzini: (Maybe EvilCorp let us take over these places to turn us into more Baatezu...)
(10:54:01 PM) Nasturtium: Have the bees arrived?
(10:54:31 PM) Kuniko: "Is this our destination?"
(10:55:22 PM) Nasturtium: ((oh, it was implied that the bees had the order to return with the booze))
(10:56:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: ((They probably should be getting paid soon. The bees are going to take a little while.))
(10:56:22 PM) Nasturtium: ((yeah, they probably should. We'll pay them, and give them another party.))
(10:56:49 PM) Nasturtium: "So, how's the RAVIDRIVE coming?"
(11:00:18 PM) Nasturtium: ...*pokes Sparkles*
(11:00:19 PM) ***Sparkles stands at attention "Still need to get the remainder of the actual subsystems it'll be powering going, Captain, but otherwise we've got power output."
(11:00:35 PM) Nasturtium: "is it sufficient to lift Rammy?"
(11:01:14 PM) Sparkles: "...sadly, that's one of the subsystems that still need to be worked out. Power output's fine, we just don't have an actual way to turn that into vertical thrust."
(11:01:29 PM) ***Crystal flaps wings to demonstrate
(11:01:36 PM) Nasturtium: "Hrm. Damn. Well, guess we better go talk to the tavern owners."
(11:02:53 PM) Crystal: We should scout out the drop point too
(11:03:25 PM) Nasturtium: "And godsdamnit, Benchworthy and AAAAAAAAAAAAAH, keep strangers off the ship! If someone wants to talk to us, have them wait."
(11:03:38 PM) Mister_Cavern: "UNDERSTOOD!"
(11:03:47 PM) ***Nasturtium then spends the next ten minutes deciding what magic items to take with her.
(11:04:02 PM) Nasturtium: "Good men. There'll be a bonus in your shares."
(11:04:45 PM) ***Kuniko spreads her wings and gets ready to move it.
(11:04:59 PM) Nasturtium: does she like to move it?
(11:05:28 PM) Barzini: (Shhh, the whole ship will wind up in a choreographed dance)
(11:05:47 PM) Barzini: (we even have a huge amount of penguins on board!)
(11:06:39 PM) ***Nasturtium leaves the ship with her new emerald corset on
(11:07:03 PM) ***Hobbes follows.
(11:07:51 PM) Mister_Cavern: Well, the tavern is pretty close. It's also pretty big for a tavern, especially out here in a small island cluster with no actual houses nearby. Sure, it makes it easy to see, but still.
(11:08:06 PM) Mister_Cavern: It is called, according to the sign, "The Drink and Drunk"
(11:08:17 PM) Crystal: Ah, the old D&D!
(11:08:39 PM) Nasturtium: "Hm... Crystal, scout the tavern, and cover us. Sparkles, prepare to assume welcoming committee reception duties."
(11:08:56 PM) Nasturtium: "Hobbes, be scary as fuck. Barz, steal everything not nailed down."
(11:09:14 PM) Kuniko: "...I guess I am free to do as I will?"
(11:09:34 PM) Barzini: "Aye aye, captain!"
(11:09:36 PM) Sparkles: "Aye captain!"
(11:09:46 PM) Nasturtium: "Hmm... well, given that I think you'd object to an order to oil your sister up and deliver her to my cabin..."
(11:10:27 PM) Kuniko: "Of course I would!!"
(11:10:45 PM) Nasturtium: "Aren't you glad I've never officially made you crew now?"
(11:10:51 PM) Kuniko: "...I guess."
(11:10:58 PM) Kuniko: "Does that mean you hate me?"
(11:11:09 PM) Kuniko: ( Her face is probably like this: >_>' )
(11:12:01 PM) ***Barzini heads to the Drink and Drunk with Johnny, E-Can, and mooks.
(11:12:02 PM) ***Crystal alights, then sashays into tavern to "scout"
(11:12:03 PM) Nasturtium: "Not at all, I'm just still not certain about having clergy in my crew. Except Father Deadly, of course, but he's practically family. Always good to have someone with an evil british accent on board too."
(11:12:36 PM) Kuniko: "I guess there's a point there."
(11:13:07 PM) Nasturtium: "I hear his brother has a son. We're thinking about recruiting him in a while."
(11:13:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: Inside the tavern, there are...
(11:13:34 PM) ***Hobbes grins from what would be ear to ear if he has them and looks for an unsuspecting bystander to abduct for interior decorations.
(11:14:01 PM) Nasturtium: (no one got my incredibly obscure reference? I'm shocked.)
(11:15:07 PM) Mister_Cavern: Many tables. Fairly flimsy, the cheap kind you can easily replace if broken - and easily broken in the first place. The chairs are also cheap and fragile, as though they expected frequent fights. A few people are gathered at a couple of tables, talking, drinking and playing cards.
(11:15:44 PM) ***Nasturtium looks for a barkeep
(11:15:49 PM) Mister_Cavern: As for the bar, it's looking pretty clean, a bored looking bartender wiping it down. There is only one person sitting at the bar, nursing a drink.
(11:16:01 PM) ***Kuniko looks at the person.
(11:16:22 PM) ***Crystal looks for landsharks
(11:16:22 PM) Nasturtium: "Hail, we're the crew from the Rhododendron Rampant, we forgot about a fetch quest, apparently?"
(11:16:42 PM) ***Barzini frowns. "Are these furnishings worth anything to anyone..?"
(11:16:57 PM) Nasturtium: "I doubt it."
(11:17:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: The barkeep is an overweight bald man, as probably expected. The person at the bar is an android in a nurse uniform, looking more human that previous androids. Also she's wearing a black cape with a company logo printed on it.
(11:17:03 PM) ***Hobbes looks for whoever's currently winning one of the card games by the widest margin.
(11:17:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: There are no landsharks
(11:17:24 PM) Nasturtium: cardsharks?
(11:17:30 PM) ***Barzini has a look at the android's logo.
(11:17:35 PM) ***Kuniko is confused by the nurse android.
(11:17:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: Cardsharks, definitely. Some sort of shark-person is winning
(11:18:16 PM) Mister_Cavern: The logo says "EvilCorp Co. Pty. Ltd. Inc. LLC PLC"
(11:18:31 PM) Nasturtium: "Ah, an employee!"
(11:18:36 PM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+13 Move Silently to sneak up close and eavesdrop on the sharks
(11:18:37 PM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+13 Move Silently to sneak up close and eavesdrop on the sharks : (3) 16
(11:18:56 PM) ***Barzini looks at the logo, then at the android's hull, then at the nurse's outfit, and then back to the first, and then to the second... many questions to ask this one!
(11:19:24 PM) ***Barzini pulls a stool up next to the android and sits down next to her. "Hi."
(11:20:23 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh, hello. You must be the people who need to do the ale fetching, yes?"
(11:20:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d20+1 Listen
(11:20:33 PM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20+1 Listen : (14) 15
(11:20:34 PM) ***Barzini blinks, "Ah... huh?"
(11:20:50 PM) ***Hobbes appraises the winning cardshark. Does he seem like the sort to have enough hit dice for an immediate abduction for spare parts to be infeasible?))
(11:20:51 PM) Mister_Cavern: Thanks to their chatter, they don't hear Crystal sneaking up on them
(11:20:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Apparently. We're working on that. Or rather, the shipping is in motion."
(11:20:54 PM) Barzini: "You know us?"
(11:21:21 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Abduction for spare parts?)
(11:22:08 PM) Hobbes: ((Think of them as impromptu Halloween decorations.))
(11:22:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: The talk between the card players seems to be fairly bland. Their fishing plans for the weekend, what they hope to catch and eat, the whale that he threw back last week (didn't have any spokes on it - his accent made whale==wheel) and so on.
(11:23:05 PM) Mister_Cavern: They all seem to have fairly few HD
(11:24:04 PM) Mister_Cavern: As for the nurse... "Yeah. I was the one contracted to set this up. Basically I drained the last of the alcohol here so that you'd need to get more from their supplier in Das Drinken Unt Drunken. After all, we needed to up the challenge for you all."
(11:24:04 PM) ***Kuniko observes the conversation between the droid lady and Barzini.
(11:24:59 PM) Nasturtium: "But... we own a distillery."
(11:25:21 PM) Nasturtium: "The bees are already on their way and everything!"
(11:25:22 PM) ***Hobbes grabs the winning cardshark by the head to yoink him away to the most secluded corner of the tavern he can find.
(11:26:06 PM) Mister_Cavern: All four corners are actually secluded. No dark hooded strangers are lurking
(11:26:12 PM) Hobbes: !1d20+11 grapple
(11:26:17 PM) Barzini: "Oh yeah, the captain... enlisted that CEO, didn't he? We're really a part of EvilCorp then, huh..."
(11:26:18 PM) ***Crystal casually slides into the seat vacated by the shark Hobbes grabs
(11:26:19 PM) Hobbes: !dice 1d20+11
(11:26:20 PM) Yuffie: Hobbes : Result of 1d20+11 : (6) 17
(11:26:36 PM) Nasturtium: "Enlisted? I thought I killed her?"
(11:26:59 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Wait... you intend on circumventing the entire mission by using your own resources? I suppose that makes everything safe..."
(11:27:03 PM) Barzini: (*she)
(11:27:12 PM) Kuniko: "...so all this hassle was for nothing?"
(11:27:41 PM) Nasturtium: "Well, I suppose we could go take over your usual distillery so that you're not in trouble for breaking deals..."
(11:28:19 PM) Barzini: "Oh yeah, she was that brutal alraune that kept poking us in inappropriate places!"
(11:28:35 PM) Nasturtium: "Yeah. Except me... the bitch."
(11:29:00 PM) Crystal: "So, fine fishy friends, what's the game and where's the rest of the gang?"
(11:29:32 PM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+15 Diplomancy
(11:29:32 PM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+15 Diplomancy : (15) 30
(11:30:19 PM) Kuniko: "She hasn't poked me yet, thankfully."
(11:30:47 PM) Sparkles: "I don't think he means the captain. This was a different Alraune."
(11:31:01 PM) Barzini: "Okay, so we need to take the booze from Das Drinken Unt Drunken so that our shares will be worth more, right?"
(11:31:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Huh what? The rest of the gang?" "We're playing Hide Under Hat." "Shh, don't say it so loud, you know that one is banned!"
(11:31:32 PM) Barzini: "Where is that place?"
(11:31:35 PM) Crystal: So this is everyone then?
(11:32:27 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh yeah, except for... where did Benny go off to then? He was here a moment ago."
(11:32:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: Hobbes is more than successful with his grapple
(11:32:51 PM) Mister_Cavern: To the secluded corner
(11:33:27 PM) Kuniko: "Another alraune?
(11:33:49 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Das Drinken Unt Drunken? It's underwater. That's how we decided to improve the challenge. Now... given the dangers of aquatic adventuring, you will all be needed to pass a basic health inspection - basically pressure tests, flexibility measurement, breath-holding exercise... you know, the usual."
(11:33:54 PM) ***Hobbes tilts a table over and drags the shark behind it. Muffled shark noises, wet, sucking sounds, and the occasional crack are heard from behind.
(11:34:35 PM) ***Barzini nods to Kuniko, "Yeah, you know, the one that beat the hell out of us! She wouldn't let me cast spells becau--...se... underwater?"
(11:34:41 PM) Nasturtium: "Underwater!? Pressure!? You mean I'd get to use some of my class abilities!? YUS!"
(11:34:58 PM) ***Kuniko frowns as she realized she had missed out on an interesting battle.
(11:35:37 PM) Barzini: "Why is EvilCorp challenging its shareholders..?"
(11:36:10 PM) Nasturtium: "Because that's how we grow and gain new levels."
(11:36:39 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey, does anyone know of turtle summoning magic? I'm thinking of improving my ninja abilities next level..."
(11:36:41 PM) Barzini: "Oh right... I do need more of those, don't I... ...underwater, huh..."
(11:36:48 PM) Mister_Cavern: "...I'm pretty sure you're not actually shareholders with EvilCorp Co. Pty. Ltd. Inc. LLC PLC, merely employees. Although the CEO did say he wants you all to be nice and powerful."
(11:36:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Though the pumpkin bombs are always tempting..."
(11:37:16 PM) Nasturtium: "But... I own several of the companies, how am I not a share holder?"
(11:37:25 PM) Kuniko: "We're only employees?"
(11:37:45 PM) ***Barzini scoots his stool away a bit, less intrusively close to the robot nurse, as he finds himself getting increasingly creeped out by her.
(11:37:46 PM) ***Hobbes emerges from behind the table at the end of a strangled gurgling noise, wearing the hollowed out head of the cardshark and walks back over to the table.
(11:38:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Stealing subsidiaries doesn't actually make you a shareholder of the parent company."
(11:38:24 PM) ***Barzini facepalms, "Aww man!"
(11:38:26 PM) Nasturtium: "But... but I stole the CEO position, isn't a CEO a shareholder by default?"
(11:38:26 PM) Mister_Cavern: Make a Spot check, Barzini
(11:38:27 PM) Crystal: There's Benny
(11:38:37 PM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+13 Spot
(11:38:38 PM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+13 Spot : (7) 20
(11:38:48 PM) Mister_Cavern: Make a Disguise check, Hobbes :3c
(11:39:05 PM) Crystal: And I think it's time for a new game.....
(11:39:07 PM) Hobbes: !dice 1d20
(11:39:07 PM) Yuffie: Hobbes : Result of 1d20 : 5
(11:39:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d20+1 best Spot of the group
(11:39:12 PM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20+1 best Spot of the group : (20) 21
(11:39:22 PM) Barzini: (Wow)
(11:39:41 PM) Crystal: This is called Fillet-o-fish.
(11:39:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: Okay, so Barzini can tell that it's Hobbes, not Johnny in disguise. And the group notice that Benny has... undergone a change
(11:39:57 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Ah! What happened to you, Benny? Why is your head on that guy?"
(11:40:24 PM) ***Barzini glances sidelong at Hobbes, scooting away-- ack closer to the creepy droid again
(11:40:38 PM) Mister_Cavern: "You're the controlling shareholder of the parent companies you stole, silly, not of EvilCorp Co. Pty. Ltd. Inc. LLC PLC!" the nurse tries to explain
(11:40:38 PM) ***Hobbes pulls up a chair to rejoin the game. "Uh...He actually has a growth potion. That's how he got so tall. He gave me one as a free sample. What game are we playing again?"
(11:40:47 PM) ***Kuniko notices the commotion at the table, wondering if she should draw her sword.
(11:40:53 PM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+5 initiative
(11:40:53 PM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+5 initiative : (9) 14
(11:41:07 PM) Kuniko: ( Initiative? )
(11:41:18 PM) Nasturtium: "Wait, so subsidiary CEOs have no shares of the parent company stock?"
(11:41:22 PM) Barzini: "So EvilCorp knows this and they're okay with it? I thought they were a bunch of scheming foreigners from Baator!"
(11:42:11 PM) ***Crystal will be slicing up the remaining landsharks to prevent them eating dad
(11:42:14 PM) Nasturtium: "I think it's part of their schemes, Barz."
(11:42:16 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh that's not nice! Well okay, some of them are, but the CEO is a reasonable sort. He hasn't killed anyone at all. Well okay except for a couple. Of dozen. Thousand. Maybe a million actually. Or two."
(11:42:46 PM) Mister_Cavern: Well, the landsharks are roughly 1 HD creatures, so I'm not going to require Crystal to make a roll.
(11:42:51 PM) Nasturtium: ((just to tempt you all http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/ph ... 0_460s.jpg ))
(11:43:13 PM) Kuniko: (( Nutella? *Walks off with hands in pockets* ))
(11:43:14 PM) Barzini: (yuck)
(11:43:25 PM) ***Crystal slices up sharkpeople
(11:43:27 PM) Mister_Cavern: (...that looks like someone shat in the middle of the biscuits. And given my opinion of Nutella, probably tastes the same too
)
(11:43:32 PM) Nasturtium: ((never tried it myself))
(11:43:34 PM) ***Crystal gloats
(11:43:48 PM) Mister_Cavern: There are some brief screams of horror as the sharks are all turned into sharkfinsoup
(11:43:53 PM) Kuniko: (( Cookies look good though. And I don't think that color matches shit really. ))
(11:43:59 PM) Crystal: (( those hazelnuts could have been used to make perfectly good frangelica))
(11:44:05 PM) Hobbes: ((I totally have those cookies and am getting some now.))
(11:44:58 PM) Mister_Cavern: ((Also, I must be excused for a moment. I require the restroom. And then tea or coffee.))
(11:45:02 PM) Crystal: Okay, that's all the shark gang, Dad should be safe now, time for me to check out the old home
(11:45:12 PM) Nasturtium: "Well, onto the aquatic distillery!"
(11:46:12 PM) ***Hobbes shrugs and grabs his scythe, not bothering to remove his 'disguise' just yet. It might still come in handy.
(11:46:32 PM) Barzini: "Egh... what have we gotten ourselves into? Okay, so we have to get the booze from the underwater."
(11:46:51 PM) Barzini: (actually wait what is Barz whining about, he has the [Water] subtype)
(11:47:48 PM) Barzini: (or, no, water sphere. Is that water subtype? Will have to find out later. But the swim speed is there, at least.)
(11:48:10 PM) Barzini: (wait, yes, it's right there on my sheet. Water subtype.)
(11:48:10 PM) ***Crystal totally has 4 ranks in Swim
(11:48:32 PM) ***Nasturtium has Content Under Pressure
(11:48:44 PM) ***Kuniko has no real way of surviving underwater.
(11:48:44 PM) Nasturtium: and Sea Salt
(11:48:47 PM) ***Sparkles either
(11:48:52 PM) Nasturtium: Hrmm....
(11:49:12 PM) Nasturtium: 'We'll make a call to the Rozen Queen! They must have potions of water breathing!"
(11:49:17 PM) ***Hobbes could try to find some way to graft shark gills onto himself.
(11:50:09 PM) Nasturtium: ((does Hobbes breath?))
(11:51:01 PM) Barzini: "I guess I'll have to bust out the powers I gained from my time in the overlord's navy again."
(11:51:15 PM) Hobbes: ((Hm. Possibly not. I don't think it's listed that Jacks *don't* breathe, however.))
(11:51:25 PM) Nasturtium: ((creature type?))
(11:51:44 PM) Nasturtium: "Barz, I don't think the ability to suck 20 dicks in an hour will help here."
(11:51:54 PM) Kuniko: "I wonder how many potions we'd need."
(11:52:07 PM) Hobbes: ((Ah, Construct.))
(11:52:10 PM) ***Kuniko is surprised by Nasturtium's remark.
(11:52:15 PM) Hobbes: ((Construct [Plant] to be precise.))
(11:52:20 PM) Nasturtium: ((Hobbes *should* be fine))
(11:52:21 PM) ***Barzini winces eyes, glowing yellow, "Ngrck!"
(11:52:46 PM) Nasturtium: "Or your ability to handle loads of seamen"
(11:53:03 PM) Hobbes: "Kuniko, grab the gills from behind that table and meet me by the shore, I want to try something."
(11:53:28 PM) ***Barzini scratches the back of his head, "I take it you have as many problems with the navy as I did, Captain..."
(11:53:41 PM) Nasturtium: "Nah, it's just an easy target"
(11:55:54 PM) ***Nasturtium atttempts to summon sea turtles carrying potions of water breathing
(11:56:06 PM) ***Barzini eyes the unflappable agent. "So uh, don't take this the wrong way... Miss... Nurse EvilCorp Bot, but nice body. I mean, I have an android too! That I... sorta stole. From one of your companies. But she's just metal and paint."
(11:57:44 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Okay I return, let's read up...)
(11:57:57 PM) ***Kuniko goes over and grabs the gills as Hobbes asked. "Yes...?"
(11:59:00 PM) ***Hobbes calls Lilith down from the ship when they reach the shore. "Alright. You seem to enjoy abusing subordinates, so I need you to hold Lilith still while I staple these gills to her. Then we'll see if it allows her to breathe underwater."
(11:59:47 PM) Hobbes: <Lilith>"Nyan?"
(12:00:27 AM) ***Kuniko realizes that she has a chance at torturing this catgirl, quickly moving over to put her in a painful armlock. "Take your time, Hobbes..."
(12:01:47 AM) Hobbes: <Lilith>"Nyan!"
(12:02:10 AM) ***Hobbes lines up the gills loosely with Lilith's esophagus and then begins recklessly slamming staples in.
(12:03:01 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Um..." the nurse starts to say, watching this and grimacing
(12:03:35 AM) ***Nasturtium goes and looks for her turtles
(12:04:23 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I don't think that is safe use of office supplies there, using a stapler like that. You could cause serious harm. That isn't the way you apply grafts..."
(12:05:02 AM) ***Kuniko isn't really worried about how badly she's hurting Lilith while keeping her restrained.
(12:05:12 AM) ***Barzini orders a drink while staring blankly at the nurse's hardware, curious of response.
(12:06:26 AM) Hobbes: "Any successful business is going to have to learn to jury-rig things when pressed for time."
(12:06:54 AM) Mister_Cavern: I should mention she has one of those giant dire syringes, but you probably knew that. She also has a sort-of-robotic tentacle emerging from her back, with a thick-nozzle syringe (the kind used for squirting medicine). And one shoulder has a machinegun
(12:10:32 AM) Mister_Cavern: She turns her head to Barzini. "Pardon? You like my hardware? I take it you want to upgrade your android to a similar design?"
(12:10:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I can arrange to have that happen. I can also perform upgrades on organic creatures, too."
(12:11:24 AM) Barzini: "Yeah! Some of them, anyway. Maybe she can pass on the octopus implant though..."
(12:11:37 AM) Nasturtium: "I'm guessing you're here to upgrade those of us who have difficulty breathing underwater, or rather, that's why you, specifically are delivering the message?"
(12:11:46 AM) ***Barzini quietly wonders whether it's safe entrusting EvilCorp to modify one of his vassals...
(12:12:16 AM) Kuniko: "Should we trust that?"
(12:12:51 AM) Nasturtium: ((gimme a moment guys, brb))
(12:13:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well, I can certainly have that arranged. Don't worry, I won't give her the AEbol-37-H modification. Do you want the M4-UltraG machinegun modification? And yes, I have the training to apply grafts."
(12:14:09 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I was sent because I can perform the necessary upgrades on your bodies," she slowly snaps some white latex gloves on, giggling, "and because I have to carry out the stress tests too, to make sure you won't just black out at 50 feet of pressure."
(12:15:03 AM) Crystal: How about a full menu of modifications
(12:15:20 AM) Crystal: and don't skimp on the fine print
(12:15:44 AM) Barzini: "Yeah! Give her the body job and the machine gun."
(12:16:31 AM) ***Barzini touches the nurse bot's leg, curious about the "new" hull's texture.
(12:16:32 AM) Barzini: (so many circumstances that lead to groping tonight...)
(12:16:38 AM) Kuniko: "I wouldn't want any permanent changes..."
(12:17:49 AM) Crystal: You seem pretty happy with your last changes
(12:18:15 AM) Barzini: "I think we're all pretty happy with her last changes."
(12:18:22 AM) Mister_Cavern: Her leg seems to consist of heated latex or some similar substance, sort of fleshy, over the steel shell
(12:19:16 AM) Kuniko: "...that's different."
(12:19:43 AM) ***Barzini takes about three seconds to think and process his thoughts before telling some prinnies to go get Stapler to come to shore and to hurry it up.
(12:20:09 AM) Mister_Cavern: It doesn't take long for Stapler to arrive. "You called for me?"
(12:20:13 AM) Barzini: "Oh, uh, she'll need clothes after this, huh?"
(12:20:13 AM) ***Sparkles comes in along with Stapler to see what's taking everyone.
(12:21:04 AM) Barzini: "Stapler, I've made an appointment for your upgrades."
(12:21:36 AM) Nasturtium: "Kuniko, will you even be able to submerge with those things?"
(12:21:46 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Understood. I assume these upgrades will be A) Efficient, B) Productive, C) Compatible and D) Sexy?"
(12:22:17 AM) Barzini: "All of the above! Hey nurse, the machine gun comes off, right?"
(12:23:07 AM) ***Kuniko blushes from Nasturtium's question, mumbling an answer. "I don't know..."
(12:23:10 AM) Mister_Cavern: "It takes some mechanical work to remove, as it is connected to the central nervous system via a cable. I would not recommend an amateur perform the removal."
(12:24:16 AM) Barzini: "... ... okay it'll just be C and D, but you're going under the knife anyway! Or the screwdriver in this case."
(12:24:56 AM) Barzini: "Just the boob job nurse, no gun."
(12:25:19 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Right you are. We can get that done in short order - or while you're on the delivery quest even!"
(12:26:27 AM) Nasturtium: "Well, we have several crew who can't go underwater and stay alive. So we kind of need to get that taken care of first"
(12:26:39 AM) ***Nasturtium mumbles "where are those turtles, anyway?"
(12:27:02 AM) Sparkles: "Aw man, we need to go underwater? I guess I'll have to oil my wings then."
(12:27:16 AM) Mister_Cavern: "What turtles? Also, we need to do those tests before you head down, so we can do the surgery then as well."
(12:28:24 AM) Nasturtium: "The sea turtles I summoned to bring us water breathing potions."
(12:29:21 AM) Barzini: "Great! You can do it once we're off. Throw in some clothes a sailor might wear. But if you mess with her head or damage her, I'm making you Hobbes' vassal."
(12:30:10 AM) Kuniko: "What are you talking to, Barzini?"
(12:30:45 AM) ***Barzini speaks to the nursebot, while indicating the nekomata with the "sore throat."
(12:31:18 AM) ***Hobbes rips the poorly grafted gills off of Lilith's throat. "Tangentially related: You should probably fix her esophagus while you're getting her ready for underwater travel."
(12:31:45 AM) ***Sparkles glances over at Lilith and does what she can to fix up her throat
(12:32:22 AM) ***Nasturtium looks around at her crew and just walks out to the shore, summoning sea turtles with copious amounts of rum.
(12:32:30 AM) Kuniko: "Hmph..." *She lets go of Lilith, though she had fun twisting her arms as painfully as she did*
(12:32:35 AM) Mister_Cavern: "That looks rather painful. I can fix her, yes."
(12:32:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: ...do you actually have a turtle summoning ability, Nasturtles?
(12:32:49 AM) Hobbes: <Lilith>"Nyan!" *rubs up against Sparkles affectionately*
(12:33:14 AM) Nasturtium: yes
(12:33:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: Well, one magic touch from Sparkles fixes it, so the nurse isn't needed for that
(12:33:27 AM) Mister_Cavern: Well in that case, the turtles do arrive. Splish splish.
(12:33:50 AM) Nasturtium: "he may summon a pair of medium size Snapping Turtles (Stormwrack, 168) at will, who will swim up in the nearest body of water, and may be carrying interesting or useful minor items (including drinks) on their backs."
(12:34:19 AM) ***Nasturtium checks to sea if turtles brought rum or potion
(12:34:34 AM) Sparkles: "You guys should really save the throat mutilation for people we don't like, as opposed to our minions."
(12:35:08 AM) Mister_Cavern: They have rum, yes
(12:35:27 AM) Barzini: "Hobbes is wearing a shark's head over his own. Now I'm starting to doubt that pumpkin was originally his head too."
(12:35:43 AM) Mister_Cavern: Mask under a mask under a mask
(12:35:48 AM) Kuniko: "I still need to figure a way to breathe underwater."
(12:36:19 AM) Mister_Cavern: Although you can probably give them specific instructions on what kind of useful things to get now that they're here, Nast
(12:36:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I did say I can apply grafts to you." she says, conversationally. It seems the Nurse is looking forward for an excuse to perform surgery and/or experimentation
(12:36:53 AM) ***Nasturtium greatfully takes the rum and starts chugging it, sitting on the shore
(12:36:55 AM) Kuniko: "Can they be removed afterwards?"
(12:37:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Yes. It's a little painful to do, but I can knock you out for that, and there won't be any scarring or damage"
(12:37:18 AM) Sparkles: "...do you have anything that removes the need to breathe *at all*?"
(12:37:33 AM) Kuniko: "How long will it take?"
(12:38:38 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I'm afraid not. I can grant gills, and I can inject a special substance that makes it so you can only breathe water, not air, but I can't make you breathless. Hmm... the tests will take under an hour, and then the surgery might take a few hours depending on how many need alteration"
(12:39:48 AM) Kuniko: "Do we have that much time at hand, captain?"
(12:40:58 AM) Nasturtium: captain is outside drinking
(12:42:21 AM) Kuniko: "...I guess we can go through with me getting gills as soon as possible."
(12:43:05 AM) Sparkles: "I'll need the gill grafts as well then."
(12:43:07 AM) Nasturtium: "Yes, we have time. Hell, we're supplying the tavern from BoozeCorp, and just going under the sea to acquire a new company. We have time."
(12:43:16 AM) ***Barzini sips at whatever the barkeep gave him, getting a taste of the product to be retrieved and idly realizing that the evil nurse bot is doing surgeries after tossing back a bunch of the booze here.
(12:43:25 AM) Nasturtium: "I want everyone not able to survive for long periods underwater to queue up"
(12:43:51 AM) Sparkles: q.push("Sparkles")
(12:43:58 AM) Sparkles: ;
(12:44:16 AM) ***Crystal sees how long she can hold her breath
(12:44:43 AM) ***Crystal eventually turns various bright colors, gets dizzy, sighs and lines up behind Sparkles
(12:45:29 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Okay, everyone follow me please~" Finally she stands up, her cape flickering and making an "oooOooo~" noise (yes, the cape), and walks out to the back room.
(12:45:32 AM) ***Kuniko is first in line.
(12:45:45 AM) Kuniko: "...I hope this won't hurt too much."
(12:46:01 AM) Kuniko: *She follows the droid lady to the back room*
(12:46:13 AM) ***Sparkles goes along with them
(12:46:56 AM) Mister_Cavern: The room is clearly not tavern-related. There is a raised stadium along one wall, a big metal chamber, a row of hospital beds... and what looks like a twister mat. "Okay, can everyone stand on the stadium there, at the edge, and reach down as far as you can?"
(12:47:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: She pulls out a tape measure
(12:47:36 AM) ***Nasturtium lines up, and bends over swigging rum still
(12:48:20 AM) ***Sparkles does
(12:48:49 AM) ***Kuniko does as asked
(12:48:56 AM) Crystal: lines, up, stands, and reaches down so far that she flaps her wings and inverts
(12:49:13 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Come on everyone! This is an important medical test! If anyone can touch the floor from all the way up there... then you don't have bones, but I'd be most impressed!"
(12:49:47 AM) ***Barzini sits languidly and drinks, reminding Stapler what general measurements she's supposed to ask for, what color her new nipples should be, and any other explicit details the booze inspires.
(12:49:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: Everyone needs to make a... fuck I'll call it a Balance check. Can be done untrained (Dex), and you're allowed to take 10

(12:51:04 AM) Nasturtium: "and I do? She has to make sure we're all in shape"
(12:51:11 AM) Nasturtium: (I blame the rum)
(12:51:21 AM) ***Kuniko decides to take 10 after stumbling a bit.
(12:51:42 AM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+6 Balance (or 4 better if Tumble can be used)
(12:51:42 AM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+6 Balance (or 4 better if Tumble can be used) : (6) 12
(12:51:58 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh dear, it looks like those are getting in your way, miss samurai. Oh well... you can't quire reach your toes it seems." However, with mighty effort, Kuniko tries again and strains, managing 4cm
(12:52:30 AM) Nasturtium: !dice 1d20+12 try again

(12:52:32 AM) Nasturtium: ...
(12:52:34 AM) Nasturtium: wha?
(12:52:38 AM) Mister_Cavern: Whereas Sparkles and Crystal get a perfect match at 2cm down the stage, Nasturtium gets 4cm, Hobbes bends easily for 5cm and Barzini shows his flexibility with 8cm
(12:52:48 AM) Nasturtium: fuck it, she tries a third time, taking ten. 22
(12:53:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: Okay, Nasturtiun remembers she has vines and reaches 12cm past the stage

(12:55:16 AM) ***Crystal ((is afk for 2-5 mins))
(12:58:49 AM) Mister_Cavern: Only Crystal and Hobbes fail to note that the nurse doesn't spend that long actually measuring them, and mostly spends her time behind the group, with her built-in video camera.
(12:59:24 AM) ***Nasturtium thinks so long as she isn't drugging us
(12:59:47 AM) Barzini: "You could have just asked to check us out."
(1:00:46 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh no no, this is an important medical procedure. Right, so generally you're flexible. Hmm..."
(1:01:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well, on to the next stage! Can you all go onto the tiled floor there and put your left foot on a blue dot~"
(1:01:56 AM) ***Crystal puts her right foot in
(1:01:57 AM) ***Nasturtium raises an eyebrow but does as requested.... lack of "feet" not withstanding
(1:02:03 AM) ***Crystal pulls her right foot out
(1:02:09 AM) ***Crystal shakes it all about
(1:02:17 AM) ***Sparkles follows along, a little more cautiously now
(1:02:22 AM) ***Barzini gets to the tiled floor, hoping this is not Twister.
(1:02:35 AM) ***Kuniko puts her left foot on the blue dot, looking at Crystal with a confused expression.
(1:03:04 AM) ***Crystal then puts left foot on blue dot
(1:04:02 AM) ***Crystal telepathetically implores Soda Nose to loosen up a bit
(1:04:42 AM) Mister_Cavern: What follows is indeed basically twister, for about twenty minutes. Constantly being placed into physically awkward and/or embarrassing positions. All the while being recorded.
(1:05:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: Finally, she switches it off. "Okay, all done~ Everyone into the chamber there now, there's just one more test."
(1:05:17 AM) ***Crystal wonders who exactly would be embarassed here
(1:05:36 AM) ***Hobbes is oblivious to what possible medical purpose these tests might serve, but then he's not a doctor.
(1:05:36 AM) ***Crystal also uses flight to cheat when she can get away with it
(1:05:55 AM) ***Barzini smiles after the 'exam'. "Like I said before Kuniko, I don't think there's anyone on the ship that doesn't approve of your upgrades."
(1:06:08 AM) Mister_Cavern: The "chamber" is a big metal dome with a pillar in the centre and one hatch with a strong glass window. Along the wall is a series of harnesses.
(1:06:19 AM) ***Nasturtium sighs
(1:06:25 AM) ***Kuniko is the only one embarassed, most likely.
(1:06:51 AM) Kuniko: "Barzini, just...talk about something else than my boobs for once..."
(1:07:13 AM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d20-1 Bluff, I came up with this plot idea all on my own!
(1:07:13 AM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20-1 Bluff, I came up with this plot idea all on my own! : (2) 1
(1:07:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: Exactly, Yuffie
(1:07:37 AM) Barzini: "Well, Stapler's going to get new boobs too."
(1:07:55 AM) Nasturtium: "You should see the use I put the cream to, Kuniko."
(1:08:27 AM) Kuniko: "...do I want to see it, captain?"
(1:08:46 AM) Barzini: "Who do you suppose she used it on?"
(1:10:09 AM) Kuniko: "It was meant for the chest, wasn't it?"
(1:10:33 AM) Nasturtium: "Doesn't mean that's the only place it works..."
(1:10:39 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> grins
(1:11:14 AM) ***Sparkles facepalm
(1:11:50 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Everyone? If you could just strap yourselves into the harnesses? Basically the chamber will spin around a bit. I need you to press the button to your side when you start getting a headache or feeling sick."
(1:12:19 AM) ***Sparkles complies
(1:12:34 AM) ***Kuniko does as asked.
(1:12:35 AM) ***Crystal presses button
(1:12:49 AM) ***Nasturtium doesn't bother strapping in
(1:13:28 AM) ***Barzini narrows his eyes at the EvilCorp nurse, but does so, knowing that Johnny's got his back if this gets too awful.
(1:13:42 AM) Mister_Cavern: A red light flashes and a warning signal goes off. The whole chamber shudders as though some kind of mechanism has triggered. It doesn't start moving though.
(1:14:49 AM) Kuniko: "...?"
(1:14:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Yeah, just like that. Well, here we go! I'll set it to something fairly mild to start with... let's try 20 Gs, okay?" She shuts the door, secures it, then pulls a lever... the room starts spinning. Faster, and faster, and faster...
(1:15:28 AM) ***Nasturtium http://posterous.com/getfile/files.post ... photo.jpeg
(1:15:32 AM) Mister_Cavern: Soon it feels like your skin is being pulled towards your back, things feel a bit funny... and DC 25 Fort Saves are required
(1:15:48 AM) ***Nasturtium is immune to ocean pressure, this count?
(1:15:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: Sure

(1:17:48 AM) ***Nasturtium doesn't give a fuck
(1:18:16 AM) Mister_Cavern: Well, soon enough, Barzini and Kuniko just black out. Sparkles, Crystal and Nasturtium on the other hand seem fine.
(1:18:19 AM) Hobbes: !dice 1d20+5
(1:18:19 AM) Yuffie: Hobbes : Result of 1d20+5 : (10) 15
(1:18:20 AM) ***Crystal thought that was all Nast ever gave
(1:18:30 AM) Mister_Cavern: Hobbes also passes out.
(1:18:36 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Shall I crank it higher?" she asks through a speaker
(1:18:45 AM) ***Crystal presses button again
(1:18:53 AM) Sparkles: "Bring it!"
(1:19:14 AM) ***Nasturtium just swigs rum again
(1:19:35 AM) Mister_Cavern: The light flashes, the siren sounds, and the machine slowly stops spinning, grinding to a halt. She then opens the chamber. "Okaaaaay... oh dear, those three passed out. Well, that makes it easy to give that one her modifications ^_^"
(1:20:07 AM) Nasturtium: "I thought you were going to turn it up?"
(1:20:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: "The button was pressed. I'm not doing this to torture you all!"
(1:20:48 AM) ***Nasturtium laughs "Ha, torture... yeah right."
(1:20:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: She undoes the harnesses for Kuniko, Hobbes and Barzini, dragging them out onto hospital beds. "Oh, anyone else who needs modifications, please lie down. Hmm... should they have some kind of privacy curtains, or wouldn't they care, being adventurers?"
(1:21:14 AM) Crystal: Kuniko might care
(1:21:25 AM) ***Sparkles lies down on the bed "curtain for me, please.
(1:21:28 AM) Sparkles: "
(1:21:35 AM) Nasturtium: "Kuniko would probably care, Hobbes, we're still not sure if he even has anything, and Barz... probably doesn't care"
(1:22:53 AM) ***Nasturtium gets popcorn and sits down to watch Hobbes' modifications "Rammy, take notes"
(1:22:58 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Okay then, curtains it is, then." She sets up some privacy curtains around Kuniko, and around Sparkles, then starts going around with a syringe. "Okay, just need to put you under." she says to Sparkles and Crystal. "The operation stings a bit"
(1:23:11 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Oh, and likewise to Lillith, seeing as she's here)
(1:23:14 AM) Sparkles: "Be honest, Barz probably *wants* to not have a curtain"
(1:23:50 AM) ***Sparkles allows herself to be poisoned this one time
(1:24:50 AM) Mister_Cavern: You can elect to fail the Saving Throw of 17 if you want, which causes "Sleep 1d2 hours"
(1:24:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d2 Sparkles
(1:24:59 AM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d2 Sparkles : 2
(1:25:28 AM) Mister_Cavern: And soon, Sparkles drifts off into a nice narcotic haze, floating into bizarre dreams.
(1:25:56 AM) ***Crystal peeps telepathetically
(1:26:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: Presumably Crystal and Lillith allow themselves to go under?
(1:26:11 AM) Mister_Cavern: Or do you FIGHT THE DRUGS
(1:26:18 AM) ***Crystal fights stubbornly
(1:26:30 AM) Crystal: !dice1d20+12 fort
(1:26:31 AM) Nasturtium: "Fight it! Fight the drugs! Make this more entertaining!"
(1:26:37 AM) Sparkles: ((uh, can I suppress immunity to nonmagical poisons?))
(1:26:37 AM) Mister_Cavern: You need a space there
(1:26:44 AM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+12 fort
(1:26:44 AM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+12 fort : (18) 30
(1:26:49 AM) Mister_Cavern: Sure you can, Sparkles!
(1:26:55 AM) Sparkles: ((kk))
(1:27:07 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh dear... maybe you should just pretend to be asleep, okay?" the nurse asks
(1:27:44 AM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+5 unskilled bluff to fake it
(1:27:44 AM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+5 unskilled bluff to fake it : (2) 7
(1:27:50 AM) Mister_Cavern: She then hums to herself, before turning to Nasturtium. "So... they all wanted gills, eye beams and snake arms, right?"
(1:28:05 AM) Crystal: ZZZZ! I say ZZZZZ! TOTALLY ASLEEP!!!
(1:28:31 AM) Sparkles: ((no snake arms D:))
(1:28:33 AM) Kuniko: ( Wait, am I out cold or awake? )
(1:28:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: Kuniko is out cold
(1:28:46 AM) Kuniko: ( FFFFFFUUUU )
(1:28:51 AM) Nasturtium: "....yes. Yes that is totally what they all want."
(1:29:16 AM) Hobbes: Oh, and Lilith is just going under.
(1:29:39 AM) Hobbes: ((Also, wow, completely spaced out for a bit. Guess I'm more tired than I thought.))
(1:29:42 AM) Mister_Cavern: At any rate, over the next couple of hours, those who need gills are given gills via a series of cuts, gland grafts and slime transfusions. Fortunately she doesn't actually give them eye beams or snake arms.
(1:29:56 AM) ***Nasturtium snaps her fingers, "Damn."
(1:29:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: Although she does perform a full medical inspection on each one. A detailed inspection, even.
(1:30:05 AM) ***Crystal already has freeze beams and a tail
(1:30:23 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> has the camera running and makes copious sketches
(1:30:28 AM) ***Sparkles will have to request eyebeams when we get back
(1:30:32 AM) Mister_Cavern: Granted, Kuniko and Sparkles have their privacy curtains, so the rest don't get to observe those ones. The others...
(1:30:35 AM) Kuniko: ( Imagined her fondling Kuniko's boobs. *Me gusta* )
(1:30:53 AM) Nasturtium: ((We all do that while Kuniko is sleeping))
(1:31:28 AM) Mister_Cavern: Finally, those who are asleep come to, finding themselves to now have gills. Grey, rubbery gills. And a bit slimy.
(1:32:03 AM) Kuniko: (( Or not. ))
(1:32:25 AM) Crystal: These only come in grey?!
(1:32:31 AM) Barzini: (I like how Kuniko's pills have given her exactly the results she was expecting but she's still freaked out about it.)
(1:32:37 AM) Kuniko: "...urgh, my head hurts." *Notices the gills* "...okay."
(1:32:51 AM) ***Barzini sits up, groggy, and having been one who didn't need any water breathing enhancements.
(1:32:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I'm afraid so. You'll need to use make-up or illusions to change that, I guess. They come from aboleths, you see..."
(1:33:00 AM) Kuniko: ( What's wrong with her not being really satisfied? :U )
(1:33:14 AM) Kuniko: ( And she still has two pills left )
(1:33:15 AM) Hobbes: <Lilith> *Attempts to pounce upon and eat herself.*
(1:33:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: Barzini didn't get gills, don't worry. He just received the full exam
(1:34:00 AM) ***Barzini checks his equipment, to see to it that all his magic items are present.
(1:34:06 AM) Nasturtium: "Rammy! Film that pussy attempting to eat itself!"
(1:34:22 AM) Nasturtium: "Don't worry Barz, we watched the whole time."
(1:34:23 AM) Mister_Cavern: She even managed to snag blood samples from everyone who was out. But no items were stolen.
(1:34:25 AM) Nasturtium: "Closely."
(1:34:35 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Right, so, is everyone ready to dive?"
(1:34:40 AM) Crystal: And I was only faking sleep!
(1:34:43 AM) Kuniko: "I guess so."
(1:34:49 AM) Nasturtium: ((how much longer are we thinking of going?
(1:34:58 AM) ***Sparkles makes sure that her life-energy patterns are properly routed through the gills and uses her Disguise Pen to make them look nicer
(1:34:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: ((was thinking of wrapping up here))
(1:35:02 AM) Nasturtium: only... I have to be up by like 5 tomorrow...))
(1:35:05 AM) Nasturtium: ((ok, good)
(1:35:18 AM) ***Barzini looks to Stapler, even though it's not likely she was touched yet.
(1:36:04 AM) Kuniko: (( I need to go sleep myself ))
(1:36:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: And so, the team is led to the diving point, the clear blue water sparkling at them invitingly. Soon, they will be diving to the murky depths, to fetch BOOZE. What will they encounter there? What will happen to Stapler in the meantime? And what plans does the Nurse really have for all that data?
(1:36:31 AM) Mister_Cavern: Find out in the next exciting episode of Tengen Toppa Friendship Punch!
(1:36:35 AM) Nasturtium: wait wait!
(1:36:46 AM) ***Mister_Cavern waits waits
(1:36:48 AM) Kuniko: I think Kuniko would interrogate the droid if she found out she was recording all that.
(1:37:07 AM) Nasturtium: Two sea turtles come up, carrying an odd pirate hat with a bottle of rum, a long straw through it's stopper
(1:37:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: Sure
(1:37:16 AM) Mister_Cavern is now known as Koumei
(1:37:20 AM) ***Nasturtium picks up and puts on this hat, and does the chin strap

(1:37:40 AM) Icyshadow: And now I must leave.
(1:37:43 AM) Icyshadow: See ya later.
(1:37:44 AM) Iori: See ya.

(1:38:18 AM) Koumei: Cool, I'll post later on
(1:38:21 AM) Koumei: Night Prak
(1:38:22 AM) rabid_schnauzer: ll be here for a bit, but need to move lappy
(1:38:26 AM) Koumei: fair enough
(1:38:29 AM) Prak: night all
(1:38:43 AM) Prak left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: Nightstar's Java Chat http://www.nightstar.net).
(1:38:44 AM) Iori: So did Nax not play any Disgaea games? First the dullahan thing, now the age thing.
(1:39:15 AM) Koumei: I'm not sure. I assumed he had, and that was why he really really wanted in
(1:39:35 AM) Iori: I made Barzini's age 1999 because Etna was 1300, Laharl was 1400, and Flonne was 1500 and the other two made fun of her for being an old lady.
(1:40:05 AM) Iori: So presumably demons multiply their age by a hundred.
(1:40:14 AM) Koumei: Pretty much
(1:40:44 AM) Koumei: Laharl acts 14, Etna looks 13-ish, Flonne... could theoretically be 15, if a very dense and flat-chested one
(1:42:13 AM) Iori: Sheltered celestial, and age difference is Serious Business when you're that young.
(1:43:14 AM) Quantumboost: Hm. I should up Sparkles' age by a factor of roughly 10 if that's the case then.
(1:43:31 AM) rabid_schnauzer: well then
(1:44:00 AM) rabid_schnauzer: !dice 1d12+10

(1:44:37 AM) rabid_schnauzer: *100 = 1300 I guess
(1:44:44 AM) Iori: Ah
(1:49:59 AM) Iori: I did flesh out a little bit of Barzini's past but I hadn't thought of what his parents might have been.
(1:54:10 AM) Iori: I have never done an underwater adventure before. DMed stuff that had a lot to do with water but nothing that would be true undersea combat or whatever.
(1:58:11 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Everything underwater is under-CRed by 1-4 points for no discernable reason
(1:58:33 AM) Iori: Handy.
(1:59:07 AM) rabid_schnauzer: aside from Aboleths, who are just a "hope the MC doesn't actually read the spell list and personality description" monster
(2:00:17 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Otherwise you all fail one of the illusion saves you were making every 5' from a quarter mile out and eventually drown without even realizing you were underwater
(2:01:18 AM) Iori: Yep. Never seen Aboleths used, as they are typically a Fuck You monster up there with black puddings, or as one player called them, the "FLEEING THE DUNGEON NAKED" monster.
(2:03:27 AM) rabid_schnauzer: There was an incident in Rob's old 2e game, where the PCs released a massive black pudding as a bioweapon against an invading army

(7:59:54 PM) Koumei: Right... I'll be back here and ready in ~an hour. Game will be on, and if there are not enough players, there's going to be trouble. But only the kind of trouble where I post "Why didn't people show?", not the kind with guns and hammers
(8:00:16 PM) Koumei: !fortune
(8:00:18 PM) Yuffie: Koumei, let me see your palm. ... okay. Today your lucky number is 36, your colors are indigo and brown, and your luck will be way cool!
(8:00:19 PM) Yuffie: You will have heightened senses. You're gonna pick up on everything. Like an awesome ninja warrior. But not more awesome than me. That'll be 500 gil, come again!
(8:00:28 PM) ***rabid_schnauzer has hammers to spare
(8:02:43 PM) Nax [Naxium_ride@971820.CF6291.F7B2F2.6C656C] entered the room.
(8:02:58 PM) Nax: Wooo, made it
(8:10:54 PM) Nax: how's everyone today
(8:11:22 PM) Nax: or tonight, depending on yoru time zone
(8:11:28 PM) Quantumboost: decent
(8:11:34 PM) Nax: that's good
(8:51:03 PM) Hobbes [chatzilla@Nightstar-df61e01a.slkc.qwest.net] entered the room.
(8:51:09 PM) Hobbes is now known as Chamomile
(8:52:08 PM) Nax: Hello Cham .w.
(9:00:21 PM) Chamomile: Hi.
(9:01:12 PM) Nax: how're you?
(9:02:24 PM) icyshadow [icyshadow@Nightstar-547dd3cc.elisa-laajakaista.fi] entered the room.
(9:02:30 PM) icyshadow: Hello
(9:02:39 PM) Quantumboost: heya icy
(9:04:13 PM) Nax: Hello Icy
(9:04:19 PM) NSJavaGuest-6585 [NSJavaIRC@Nightstar-86052984.scrm01.sbcglobal.net] entered the room.
(9:04:24 PM) NSJavaGuest-6585 is now known as Prak
(9:04:33 PM) Prak: hey all
(9:04:58 PM) Nax: .......looks like we have one missing
(9:05:43 PM) icyshadow: And that is?
(9:05:54 PM) ***icyshadow is very fucking tired this time.
(9:06:08 PM) Nax: Iori
(9:06:43 PM) GX: He could be here any time now
(9:06:53 PM) GX: Usually skids in around 915
(9:07:10 PM) Nax: which might be about 8:15 my time?
(9:07:28 PM) GX: sure
(9:07:38 PM) Prak: I am now envisioning Barzini as Kramer....
(9:08:06 PM) Nax: Kramer?
(9:08:15 PM) Prak: from Seinfeld
(9:09:00 PM) Nax: ........oh
(9:09:02 PM) Koumei: Okaaaaay
(9:09:06 PM) Nax: I was thinking someone else
(9:09:27 PM) icyshadow: Must...resist...falling asleep...
(9:09:45 PM) Nax: get as glass of ice water, that helps me stay up
(9:09:50 PM) Prak: *sigh* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqt1DdMj ... re=related
(9:10:27 PM) Koumei: Sit in a birar patch, that helps people stay up
(9:10:31 PM) Nax: I know who it is Prak, the name threw me off cause I didn't know how it was spelled
(9:10:45 PM) Prak: "skidding in"
(9:12:31 PM) Iori [8headed@Nightstar-2592cc06.irvnca.pacbell.net] entered the room.
(9:12:40 PM) Prak: and here he is
(9:12:52 PM) Nax: Hey
(9:13:07 PM) Iori: Good evening.
(9:13:09 PM) icyshadow: Heya
(9:13:17 PM) Prak: yo
(9:14:16 PM) Nax: So I have a question before we begin
(9:14:32 PM) Nax: should we show Fin being captured or skip after that to start the session
(9:14:47 PM) Nax: I'm asking cause I don't want to stall with padding if it isn't needed
(9:15:40 PM) Chamomile: I'd recommend we skip it. It's PvP, which is irritating, it's a foregone conclusion because Fin isn't playing unless he loses, and it doesn't really build up any characterization or plot.
(9:16:04 PM) icyshadow: Good point.
(9:16:05 PM) Koumei: I suggest skipping it, yeah
(9:16:16 PM) Nax: I'm thinking of skipping too but I wanted everyone's thoughts on it
(9:16:41 PM) icyshadow: Let's skip. I have a feeling it will be voted by everyone anyway.
(9:16:41 PM) Koumei: Also this is why I mandate for the start of any game "You all fucking know each other and work together. No exceptions."
(9:17:04 PM) GX left the room (quit: Client closed the connection).
(9:17:22 PM) Iori: A good policy for when there is no unifying organization.
(9:17:26 PM) Koumei is now known as Mister_Cavern
(9:17:36 PM) Prak is now known as Nasturtium
(9:17:40 PM) Iori is now known as Barzini
(9:17:41 PM) You are now known as Crystal
(9:17:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: What's this? The party is evolving!
(9:17:52 PM) icyshadow is now known as Kuniko
(9:18:01 PM) Quantumboost is now known as Sparkles
(9:18:09 PM) Nax is now known as Fionnlagh
(9:18:20 PM) Chamomile: Dun, duh, dun, duh, dun, duh, dun, duh...
(9:18:24 PM) Chamomile is now known as Hobbes
(9:18:35 PM) Barzini: So, the party clobbered the dark knight good.
(9:18:35 PM) ***Nasturtium presses B
(9:18:40 PM) Hobbes: Dee dee doo, deedle dee deedle dee doo.
(9:19:00 PM) ***Fionnlagh can't think of a joke
(9:19:14 PM) ***Nasturtium hands out rare candies to the party
(9:19:14 PM) Barzini: (Clearly, Fin should have bandages on his armor. In a criss crossed X shape.)
(9:19:34 PM) ***Kuniko probably had some sadistic fun with the dark knight.
(9:20:25 PM) Fionnlagh: (Actually everyone keeps calling him a dark knight, but ironically his name means "White warrior", or at least where I got it from it does)
(9:20:46 PM) Barzini: ( Because he's a dullahan, and this is what the setting says they are: http://disgaea.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Knight )
(9:20:50 PM) Mister_Cavern: "I'm neither dark nor technically a knight"
(9:20:54 PM) Kuniko: "...did we accidentally kill him?"
(9:21:10 PM) Nasturtium: ((and people keep calling Nast Nasturtles, even though she hasn't summoned all that many turtles))
(9:21:22 PM) Nasturtium: "Accidentally?"
(9:21:23 PM) ***Barzini shrugs, "I thought he was undead. If so, we can sell the armor."
(9:21:31 PM) Fionnlagh: (I forgot about that)
(9:21:32 PM) Nasturtium: "You mean we weren't trying to?"
(9:21:37 PM) GX [GX@Nightstar-47529af1.dsl.look.ca] entered the room.
(9:21:56 PM) Fionnlagh: (Mister Cavern, where is everyone at the moment?)
(9:22:20 PM) Hobbes: ((Mister Owl, how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop?))
(9:22:24 PM) Kuniko: "I thought we took this guy in as a follower of some sort. Oh, well."
(9:22:27 PM) ***Crystal contemplates booze
(9:22:49 PM) Mister_Cavern: So, last session, the party killed the Bebilith, rescued a Jackal Lord, and gained a dark knight ally, however unwillingly. It didn't take long to return to the ship... where the mail thief awaits, scouting for the party
(9:22:52 PM) Nasturtium: "I thought we were going to sell him and use his hatrack?"
(9:22:54 PM) Kuniko: "By the way, I heard mentions of some religion expert being taken on this ship."
(9:22:59 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh, there you guys are! Ya-hooooi!"
(9:23:46 PM) ***Nasturtium fires a warning shot at the voice behind her
(9:24:27 PM) ***Crystal wonders which corner the hat rack will look best in
(9:24:55 PM) Barzini: "Yeah, Mertel's kinda creepy, I've never seen a demon like him before. But if he says that he'll get me some worshippers, he's okay with me."
(9:25:46 PM) Kuniko: "You? I'm the one in need of them right now."
(9:26:12 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey, I'm the one who brought him on board. My worshippers first."
(9:26:25 PM) ***Crystal doesn't believe in worshippers
(9:26:56 PM) Fionnlagh: "Ooooooh.......by death...what hit me..." Fin sits up, rubbing his neckrim, seeming to have been knocked out for some time
(9:27:04 PM) ***Sparkles never really cared about divine magic anyway.
(9:27:16 PM) Nasturtium: "The edge of the screen."
(9:28:17 PM) Fionnlagh: "....I'm not gonna question whatever new fangled magic you kids have nowadays....where'd you take me, the pawn shop?"
(9:28:31 PM) Kuniko: "If you haven't noticed, this is a ship."
(9:28:33 PM) Crystal: Ohhh, it's awake!!!
(9:28:44 PM) Crystal: The Rhoddodenren Rampant!!!
(9:28:57 PM) Hobbes: "You've been pillaged."
(9:29:00 PM) ***Barzini smiles at Kuniko, "I told Mertel about you already. But I need a few too, for my own plans."
(9:29:16 PM) ***Nasturtium grins, "Not yet he hasn't. Rammy? Prepare to pillage."
(9:29:54 PM) ***Kuniko gives a slight glance at Barzini before turning her attention back to the confused armor.
(9:30:46 PM) ***Sparkles goes back to working on the magitek hookups to the Ravid
(9:31:10 PM) Fionnlagh: "Hopefully not one that flies about?" Fin asks, quickly standing and walking over to what he assumes is the captain (Nas)
(9:31:32 PM) ***Crystal (( decides on Sake ))
(9:31:57 PM) Hobbes: "We're working on it."
(9:31:58 PM) Nasturtium: "the ship? We're working on that."
(9:32:03 PM) ***Barzini turns his attention to the killer armor. "Rozen Queen, actually."
(9:32:04 PM) Hobbes: "Jinx."
(9:32:25 PM) Nasturtium: "Captain."
(9:32:39 PM) Fionnlagh: "Not engine flight, right?"
(9:32:48 PM) ***Kuniko goes back to her own cabin, probably to have a chat with Mariko.
(9:33:18 PM) Nasturtium: "More likely Ravid-powered flight. ...though those mushrooms really should have worked..."
(9:33:32 PM) ***Barzini calls after Kuniko, "Hey, tell Mariko she's still my favorite new stowaway."
(9:34:04 PM) Mister_Cavern: Having been shot at, the mail-thief peeks her head back up around the corner. "Um... excuse me? I uh... there are letters here."
(9:34:23 PM) Barzini: "Eh? Letters from who?"
(9:34:26 PM) Nasturtium: "Mail? How'd you get on my ship?"
(9:35:09 PM) ***Kuniko frowns at Barzini, though gives a quiet "Fine..." before she shuts the door.
(9:35:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: "It was just parked on the edge of the island, real easy to wander up to. Yeah, mail. Let's see... who here is Crystal? Also one for 'The Residents.'"
(9:35:52 PM) ***Crystal jumps up and down
(9:35:55 PM) Crystal: MEEEEE!
(9:35:56 PM) Barzini: (Wow, thieves were female in the J version, and male in the NA version.)
(9:35:59 PM) Crystal: I'm BOTH!!!!
(9:36:08 PM) ***Nasturtium hands the residents letter to Rammy
(9:36:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: (They were male in the NA version? Huh)
(9:36:52 PM) Barzini: (According to the wiki. I looked it up because I was trying to remember what gender they were supposed to be.)
(9:37:02 PM) Fionnlagh: (Maybe in the early ones, but I know for damn sure that in 3 and 4 they're female)
(9:37:02 PM) ***Barzini peers at the thief quizzically, trying to determine gender.
(9:37:17 PM) Fionnlagh: (there's even dialogue in 4 that proves it)
(9:37:26 PM) Mister_Cavern: The thief blinks as the letters are quickly snatched away. Then notices Barzini staring. "Uh... what are you staring at?"
(9:37:56 PM) ***Crystal shakes envelope and listens to try to guess contents
(9:38:07 PM) Barzini: "Uh, well... we have a custom on our ship... taught to us by our captain, yeah.... ..."
(9:38:21 PM) ***Barzini grabs the thief's crotch, Metal Gear Solid 2 style.
(9:38:57 PM) ***Kuniko walks back out of the room after a short chat with Mariko, only to see Barzini grabbing crotches.
(9:39:01 PM) Kuniko: "...what the..."
(9:39:12 PM) Nasturtium: "Ship custom, Kuniko."
(9:39:41 PM) ***Kuniko slowly backs off and closes the door after hearing Nasturtium, thinking she'd better not ask.
(9:40:46 PM) Fionnlagh: "......That's a girl boyo, and I'm sure she doesn't apperciate you doing that"
(9:41:26 PM) Nasturtium: "You're just jealous, hat rack"
(9:41:27 PM) ***Barzini blinks.
(9:41:35 PM) Barzini: "How could you tell?"
(9:42:13 PM) Fionnlagh: "Trust me lad, you kill as much as I have and you'll be able to tell real fast"
(9:42:33 PM) Barzini: "Uh, pardon me mail lady. Ship custom."
(9:43:04 PM) Nasturtium: "Really? I find it hard to believe you've killed as much as Barz or I..."
(9:43:20 PM) Crystal: What does killing have to do with it?
(9:43:35 PM) Barzini: "You can grab me back if you like. But watch my special accessory."
(9:43:50 PM) Crystal: Now, raping I could see...but if you kill them, it doesn't matter....
(9:44:10 PM) Hobbes: "You mean therape."
(9:44:11 PM) Fionnlagh: "I'm over a thousand years old Ma'am, I can say that I have" He said to Nas, a bit of anger in his voice
(9:44:26 PM) Hobbes: "And still only level 8?"
(9:44:42 PM) ***Barzini laughs. "Who here isn't over a thousand? I'm almost two thousand."
(9:45:12 PM) Nasturtium: "I'm.... you know, I'm not sure. Bill, how old am I?"
(9:45:18 PM) Barzini: "Maybe the prinnies are that young."
(9:45:29 PM) Nasturtium: Bill: "20 Ma'am."
(9:45:45 PM) Nasturtium: "Ah, damn, well, Rammy is only a few weeks, ...ish."
(9:45:58 PM) ***Sparkles walks back in trailing a cable "I'm actually only about 200, I think. I lost exact count a couple decades ago."
(9:46:08 PM) Kuniko: ( I wonder what Kuniko would be chatting about with Mariko...probably just how the family is doing and such... )
(9:46:21 PM) Crystal: Well a real lady never reveals her age
(9:46:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: "...um... can you stop that?"
(9:47:23 PM) Hobbes: "Captain, you might want to think about some stricter hiring standards..."
(9:47:23 PM) Nasturtium: "Would you rather I check?"
(9:47:24 PM) Mister_Cavern: Yes, Mariko would have plenty to talk about regarding the family. Apparently the pet sabrekitty is doing well.
(9:47:42 PM) Mister_Cavern: It has already eaten six intruders, leaving nothing but bones.
(9:47:53 PM) Mister_Cavern: The check reveals zero penises, for the record
(9:48:08 PM) ***Kuniko is glad to hear of this, though she wonders if their father is worried about either of them.
(9:48:14 PM) Kuniko: ( Probably not. )
(9:48:20 PM) ***Barzini has released the mail lady immediately, having discovered that she is in fact a girl dressed somewhat boyishly.
(9:48:22 PM) Mister_Cavern: As for the letters, shaking them results in no sound
(9:48:44 PM) Nasturtium: Rammy carefully opens the Resident one
(9:48:52 PM) Barzini: "You've got a pretty good eye for someone with no head."
(9:48:55 PM) Mister_Cavern: Their father was a little converned when Kuniko left... and she has no idea how he has reacted to her own leaving. Given she wasn't there when it happened.
(9:49:09 PM) ***Barzini grins, "But you're still kinda silly."
(9:49:24 PM) Sparkles: "Hey Barzini, your soul acts as a planar energy conduit, right?"
(9:49:39 PM) Kuniko: "...maybe we should send him a letter and say we're on an adventure. Just so he wouldn't need to send anyone after us."
(9:49:56 PM) ***Crystal attempts to use hatrack as unwieldly letter opener
(9:50:08 PM) Mister_Cavern: The letter reads: "Dear Residents: it has come to our attention that you have not fulfilled the contractual obligations of the [Ale Fetching Quest]. Due to this, we have contacted a tavern that is in need of more ale, and arranged for you to talk to them. (c)
(9:50:33 PM) Barzini: "Yep, when I shoot off those fireballs and lightning bolts, that's the Netherworld talking."
(9:50:54 PM) Nasturtium: "Ale fetching quest? Hmm... anyone remember an ale fetching quest?"
(9:51:17 PM) ***Barzini blinks. "Didn't we 'fetch' a bunch of stuff from BoozeCorp?"
(9:51:20 PM) Mister_Cavern: They are located in the Northern Cross, you will recognise the tavern as being painted bright blue. Signed: AR"
(9:51:25 PM) Crystal: Did the mushroom booze count as ale?
(9:51:25 PM) ***Sparkles hands him the cable. "Excellent, please hold this. I need to do a final test of the reactor core's output limiters."
(9:51:49 PM) ***Barzini asks Stapler and Strawberry about these things since they both worked there.
(9:51:53 PM) ***Kuniko walks out of the cabin with a written letter at hand. "Is that mail thief still here?"
(9:52:08 PM) Crystal: Or was it a Porter or a Stout?
(9:52:12 PM) Nasturtium: "That's what I was thinking. Lets.... wait, somehow bringing ale to a tavern seems fundamentally wrong..."
(9:52:35 PM) Mister_Cavern: As for Crystal's letter: "Crystal, we have your father. Bring fifty thousand Hell to your house by the end of the week or we kill him and feed him to the aquatic landsharks."
(9:53:03 PM) ***Crystal blinks and rereads
(9:53:05 PM) Mister_Cavern: The mail thief is backing away, just about to dive overboard when she hears Kuniko. "Huh? Uh yeah, why?"
(9:53:37 PM) Fionnlagh left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 121 seconds).
(9:53:41 PM) Kuniko: Hey, you mind sending this to the following address... *Tells of the address of the Soga main residence and hands the letter to the thief*
(9:53:58 PM) Mister_Cavern: "You don't also need to do that ship tradition thing, do you? Oh... sure thing, I'll get it there post haste!"
(9:54:15 PM) Mister_Cavern: She then takes a dive, and is off to the destination...
(9:54:16 PM) ***Nasturtium reaches over and fondles the mail thief
(9:54:32 PM) ***Kuniko noticed the captain just miss the fondle attempt.
(9:54:36 PM) Kuniko: "..."
(9:54:46 PM) Hobbes: ((I'm trying to remember...We did the booze place and the animal reserve place, the martial/marital arts one I missed, what was the fourth one and did we do it?))
(9:55:25 PM) ***Sparkles walks off to perform the output limiter test
(9:55:36 PM) Crystal: Wheeeeereeeee's Johhhhhnnny?!?!?!?
(9:55:56 PM) ***Crystal rushes off distraught, looking for our shark
(9:55:57 PM) ***Nasturtium has tentacles, she didn't miss, she caught the mail thief in mid air and dropped her after the fondle
(9:56:00 PM) Barzini: "It was a she, captain. One you can't really snatch up because she has to send our mail off. But you can have her, she's a little too tomboyish for my tastes."
(9:56:22 PM) Kuniko: "...I'd prefer my letter arriving at it's destination."
(9:56:24 PM) Nasturtium: "I wonder if mail thieves count as useful objects...."
(9:56:42 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> *is most likely in the water around spooking the poor mail thief by simply existing*
(9:58:18 PM) ***Crystal splashes around trying to find him
(9:59:19 PM) Barzini: "Crystal is going to grope the mail carrier too?"
(9:59:39 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> *is easily found?*
(9:59:42 PM) Crystal: Weeee gottta talk -- your cousins are gonna eat my dad!!!
(10:00:24 PM) Kuniko: "So, captain. Where were we heading next?"
(10:01:24 PM) ***Crystal waves letter around in the surf frantically
(10:01:46 PM) Nasturtium: "I guess we should bring booze to that tavern, I mean, what with us having Boozecorp, and all."
(10:02:08 PM) Hobbes: "Don't we have subordinates to do that sort of thing for us?"
(10:02:43 PM) Nasturtium: "yes, but apparently we're supposed to go ourselves."
(10:02:56 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> Is he tasty?
(10:03:18 PM) Kuniko: "Sounds odd." *She then turns to look at Crystal and Johnny* ...?
(10:03:35 PM) Crystal: Nononono he's old and stringy...and they want FIFTY THOUSAND
(10:03:45 PM) ***Crystal holds up five fingers to emphasize the number
(10:04:08 PM) Mister_Cavern: (That's as many as five thousand tens. And that's terrible)
(10:04:55 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> Where are they?
(10:05:19 PM) Crystal: They're your cousins --- don't *you* know??
(10:06:21 PM) Kuniko: ( Nax might not be back. His router is being a bitch. )
(10:06:36 PM) ***Sparkles activates the main reactor, hopefully giving Barzini enough charge to feel tingly but not enough to light him on fire. Probably.
(10:07:28 PM) Barzini: "Whaaa!?"
(10:08:39 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> Negative.
(10:08:47 PM) Crystal: Because if you don't know, then we'll have to detour the ship off of the alefetching!!!!
(10:09:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: The two helpful... helpers... try to give help. "Um... you fetched booze, but you fetched it from us and for you." "Isn't a fetch quest when you go from one tavern to another, to bring booze back to the first?"
(10:09:53 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Usually there are bandits and/or goblins on the way."
(10:09:57 PM) ***Crystal flits off to find Nasterrpins
(10:10:26 PM) ***Barzini drops the cables. "What is this thing supposed to be attached to!?"
(10:10:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Ok, so we're bring booze back, from the company we now own. What's the problem?"
(10:10:54 PM) Crystal: Captain, Captain, emergency, we gotta change course!!!!
(10:11:08 PM) Nasturtium: "Why?"
(10:11:22 PM) ***Crystal thrusts no soggy ransom demand letter in Nast's face
(10:11:33 PM) Crystal: ((er NOW soggy even ))
(10:11:51 PM) ***Sparkles comes back in after the reactor is back off. "Is Barzini on fire?"
(10:12:06 PM) Nasturtium: "So they're going to eat your dad if you don't pay 50,000 hell?"
(10:12:35 PM) Crystal: That what is says, we gotta get there to help!!!
(10:12:47 PM) Crystal: Did I say help? I meant
(10:12:59 PM) Crystal: Plunder whatever other ransoms they've already received!!!
(10:13:13 PM) Nasturtium: "Ah ha! Any clue where they are?"
(10:13:48 PM) Kuniko: "...maybe your home?"
(10:13:51 PM) Crystal: Well it says they want the Hell at my house....
(10:14:08 PM) Nasturtium: "Ok, show me on the map where your house is"
(10:14:16 PM) Crystal: but I've been living in the cabin onboard the ship for the past year...so that would mean
(10:14:18 PM) ***Nasturtium figures out where the tavern is on the map"
(10:14:29 PM) Crystal: THEY'RE ALREADY ONBOARD!!!!
(10:14:39 PM) ***Sparkles facepalms. "Your OLD home, Crystal."
(10:14:56 PM) Nasturtium: "Godsdamnit! Bill! Keep strangers off my ship, damnit!"
(10:14:58 PM) Sparkles: "Though be sure to check your cabin just in case."
(10:15:03 PM) ***Crystal blinks
(10:15:27 PM) Crystal: Oh, yeah, that would make sense, thanks Sparkles
(10:15:42 PM) ***Barzini is smokier than usual, "We should use these bees as couriers. Aye aye, Stapler, Strawberry."
(10:15:52 PM) Hobbes: "If we get the hell out of Crystal's house, will we still have time to run the fetch quest?"
(10:16:06 PM) Sparkles: "Anyway, looks like the limiters are mostly working. Might need to fine-tune them. We'll be airborne in no time!"
(10:16:08 PM) Nasturtium: "That's what I'm trying to figure out."
(10:16:10 PM) Barzini: (in b4 Abbott and Costello act)
(10:16:26 PM) Sparkles: "Figuratively no time, anyway. Not in time to do whatever this next mission is."
(10:16:42 PM) Kuniko: "I think we should be able to help with Crystal's father in time."
(10:17:34 PM) Nasturtium: "Show me on the map where they want to eat your dad"
(10:18:15 PM) Crystal: Well it says aquatic, so probably in the big blue area
(10:18:17 PM) ***Hobbes studies the map carefully, comparing distances, calculating average speed based on probable winds and tides, then asks Mister Cavern if they have to pick one or the other.
(10:18:40 PM) ***Nasturtium facepalms
(10:18:46 PM) ***Barzini sweatdrops, deadpan face. "So, Johhny doesn't know, Crystal doesn't know either, and the message didn't say. Those kidnappers ought to reconsider the terms of this negotiation..."
(10:19:33 PM) Nasturtium: "Look at it this way, Crystal. My dad died before I was born, look how I turned out!"
(10:20:32 PM) ***Barzini stares at Nasturtium.
(10:20:50 PM) ***Crystal thought alarunes germinated
(10:21:02 PM) Sparkles: "I don't think I even had a father, so much as a giant spawning pool."
(10:21:22 PM) Nasturtium: "My seed pod was kept in the cargo hold."
(10:21:49 PM) ***Barzini blinks, "Celestials come from a spawning pool?"
(10:21:56 PM) Kuniko: "Odd."
(10:22:16 PM) Sparkles: "Well we certainly didn't come from a Spire..."
(10:22:56 PM) Barzini: "What about a Hatchery?"
(10:23:43 PM) Sparkles: "Well, I'm pretty sure Avorals come from eggs, but for the most part no."
(10:24:27 PM) Nasturtium: "I'm pretty sure a hatchery and spawning pool could both be on a spire."
(10:24:27 PM) Barzini: (Hydralisk Den would kill it, and just "Den" would be inviting a fresh new line of gags...)
(10:24:33 PM) ***Hobbes spawns more overlords.
(10:25:15 PM) Nasturtium: "Anyway, until we have a better idea of where Crystal's dad is the buffet, we'll have to fetch that booze."
(10:25:56 PM) Crystal: Well where were we when I joined the crew?
(10:25:59 PM) Kuniko: "Hopefully they realized the faulty nature of the ransom letter."
(10:26:05 PM) Barzini: "Do you even know who the kidnappers are?"
(10:26:35 PM) Crystal: Obviously they're the ones who wrote this letter!
(10:26:35 PM) Nasturtium: "Apparently they eat celestials"
(10:27:54 PM) Sparkles: "Er... last I checked, Crystal wasn't a celestial, so why do we think her dad is?"
(10:28:28 PM) ***Crystal is unclear how this whole parentage thing works with the minion and extra gain systems
(10:28:35 PM) Nasturtium: "Wait, then... ok, what are you again, crystal?"
(10:29:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: ...Crystal is an Empusa
(10:29:02 PM) ***Crystal blinks
(10:29:09 PM) Crystal: Why a sex demon, captain
(10:29:17 PM) Nasturtium: "Ah, right."
(10:29:33 PM) Nasturtium: "So... wait, which of your parents was the sex demon?"
(10:29:35 PM) Kuniko: "...wait, does that mean your father is an incubus?"
(10:29:54 PM) ***Kuniko is terrified of the thought.
(10:31:38 PM) ***Crystal (( OoC: has nothing established on parents and doesn't want to conflict with any planned MC plot points ))
(10:35:23 PM) ***Crystal wanders afk briefly as she tries to recall relevant details of her life before joining the crew
(10:35:50 PM) Nasturtium: ((Koumei, I want that thing you described in our rp....))
(10:36:13 PM) Kuniko: (( ...curiousity has been roused. ))
(10:36:45 PM) Nasturtium: ((suffice to say, it'd be expensive.))
(10:37:55 PM) ***Barzini thinks to himself, you can practically see the thought bubble over his head. He mumbles, "Crystal's dad has big wings and his spine dangling out...?"
(10:39:25 PM) Mister_Cavern: ((You really can feel free to remember him however you like. He isn't the one statted out as an enemy here))
(10:40:37 PM) Crystal: !dice 1d12
(10:40:37 PM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d12 : 6
(10:40:47 PM) ***Kuniko frowns at Barzini while looking on.
(10:42:18 PM) Crystal: No, Dad's not a incubus...he was a Marionette
(10:42:50 PM) Nasturtium: "Who'd want to eat a marionetter?"
(10:42:54 PM) Nasturtium: *marionette
(10:43:03 PM) ***Barzini perks up, "Really... my grandpa is one too. Sounds like a sophisticated gentleman!"
(10:43:19 PM) Crystal: Maybe they're termite-aquatic landsharks?
(10:44:52 PM) Nasturtium: "So, can you remember where he is?"
(10:45:11 PM) Crystal: Yeah, we just established that a few minutes ago
(10:45:12 PM) Kuniko: "Termite sharks?"
(10:45:20 PM) Crystal: He's being held by kidnappers. Duh.
(10:45:42 PM) ***Nasturtium facepalms
(10:45:57 PM) Nasturtium: (( "/facepalm" really should be a command....))
(10:46:33 PM) ***Barzini slumps with a huge sweatdrop, "Okay, I think I agree with whomever said we should just go hit the tavern until we find out more. Taverns are the place to go for more information anyway!"
(10:46:35 PM) Nasturtium: "Ok, Bill, lay course to the tavern. Rammy, have some bees pick up booze from Boozecorp, Crystal, try to figure out where your father is that he's about to be eaten."
(10:46:38 PM) Crystal: We need to lay in a course to the north, not far from where I signed on.
(10:48:01 PM) Nasturtium: what direction is the tavern?
(10:50:17 PM) Mister_Cavern: North-ish
(10:50:27 PM) Nasturtium: "Northward!"
(10:50:49 PM) Mister_Cavern: So, the ship starts heading out North-ish towards the Northern Cross
(10:51:42 PM) Nasturtium: Rammy sends a small swarm of BEEEEEEEEES to Boozecorp with a note
(10:52:31 PM) Nasturtium: Note: "Miss Rammy and Nasturtium have sent us to pick up as much booze as we can carry and still fly. You will all receive a bonus in your next paycheck."
(10:53:09 PM) Hobbes: ((Is the bonus rape?))
(10:53:25 PM) Nasturtium: ((real question is, when is their next paycheck))
(10:53:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: Some time units later, the ship slides up near the cluster of islands that make up the Northern Cross. There is a big old bright blue tavern in the middlemost isle.
(10:53:48 PM) Nasturtium: -/trollface
(10:53:57 PM) Barzini: (Maybe EvilCorp let us take over these places to turn us into more Baatezu...)
(10:54:01 PM) Nasturtium: Have the bees arrived?
(10:54:31 PM) Kuniko: "Is this our destination?"
(10:55:22 PM) Nasturtium: ((oh, it was implied that the bees had the order to return with the booze))
(10:56:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: ((They probably should be getting paid soon. The bees are going to take a little while.))
(10:56:22 PM) Nasturtium: ((yeah, they probably should. We'll pay them, and give them another party.))
(10:56:49 PM) Nasturtium: "So, how's the RAVIDRIVE coming?"
(11:00:18 PM) Nasturtium: ...*pokes Sparkles*
(11:00:19 PM) ***Sparkles stands at attention "Still need to get the remainder of the actual subsystems it'll be powering going, Captain, but otherwise we've got power output."
(11:00:35 PM) Nasturtium: "is it sufficient to lift Rammy?"
(11:01:14 PM) Sparkles: "...sadly, that's one of the subsystems that still need to be worked out. Power output's fine, we just don't have an actual way to turn that into vertical thrust."
(11:01:29 PM) ***Crystal flaps wings to demonstrate
(11:01:36 PM) Nasturtium: "Hrm. Damn. Well, guess we better go talk to the tavern owners."
(11:02:53 PM) Crystal: We should scout out the drop point too
(11:03:25 PM) Nasturtium: "And godsdamnit, Benchworthy and AAAAAAAAAAAAAH, keep strangers off the ship! If someone wants to talk to us, have them wait."
(11:03:38 PM) Mister_Cavern: "UNDERSTOOD!"
(11:03:47 PM) ***Nasturtium then spends the next ten minutes deciding what magic items to take with her.
(11:04:02 PM) Nasturtium: "Good men. There'll be a bonus in your shares."
(11:04:45 PM) ***Kuniko spreads her wings and gets ready to move it.
(11:04:59 PM) Nasturtium: does she like to move it?
(11:05:28 PM) Barzini: (Shhh, the whole ship will wind up in a choreographed dance)
(11:05:47 PM) Barzini: (we even have a huge amount of penguins on board!)
(11:06:39 PM) ***Nasturtium leaves the ship with her new emerald corset on
(11:07:03 PM) ***Hobbes follows.
(11:07:51 PM) Mister_Cavern: Well, the tavern is pretty close. It's also pretty big for a tavern, especially out here in a small island cluster with no actual houses nearby. Sure, it makes it easy to see, but still.
(11:08:06 PM) Mister_Cavern: It is called, according to the sign, "The Drink and Drunk"
(11:08:17 PM) Crystal: Ah, the old D&D!
(11:08:39 PM) Nasturtium: "Hm... Crystal, scout the tavern, and cover us. Sparkles, prepare to assume welcoming committee reception duties."
(11:08:56 PM) Nasturtium: "Hobbes, be scary as fuck. Barz, steal everything not nailed down."
(11:09:14 PM) Kuniko: "...I guess I am free to do as I will?"
(11:09:34 PM) Barzini: "Aye aye, captain!"
(11:09:36 PM) Sparkles: "Aye captain!"
(11:09:46 PM) Nasturtium: "Hmm... well, given that I think you'd object to an order to oil your sister up and deliver her to my cabin..."
(11:10:27 PM) Kuniko: "Of course I would!!"
(11:10:45 PM) Nasturtium: "Aren't you glad I've never officially made you crew now?"
(11:10:51 PM) Kuniko: "...I guess."
(11:10:58 PM) Kuniko: "Does that mean you hate me?"
(11:11:09 PM) Kuniko: ( Her face is probably like this: >_>' )
(11:12:01 PM) ***Barzini heads to the Drink and Drunk with Johnny, E-Can, and mooks.
(11:12:02 PM) ***Crystal alights, then sashays into tavern to "scout"
(11:12:03 PM) Nasturtium: "Not at all, I'm just still not certain about having clergy in my crew. Except Father Deadly, of course, but he's practically family. Always good to have someone with an evil british accent on board too."
(11:12:36 PM) Kuniko: "I guess there's a point there."
(11:13:07 PM) Nasturtium: "I hear his brother has a son. We're thinking about recruiting him in a while."
(11:13:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: Inside the tavern, there are...
(11:13:34 PM) ***Hobbes grins from what would be ear to ear if he has them and looks for an unsuspecting bystander to abduct for interior decorations.
(11:14:01 PM) Nasturtium: (no one got my incredibly obscure reference? I'm shocked.)
(11:15:07 PM) Mister_Cavern: Many tables. Fairly flimsy, the cheap kind you can easily replace if broken - and easily broken in the first place. The chairs are also cheap and fragile, as though they expected frequent fights. A few people are gathered at a couple of tables, talking, drinking and playing cards.
(11:15:44 PM) ***Nasturtium looks for a barkeep
(11:15:49 PM) Mister_Cavern: As for the bar, it's looking pretty clean, a bored looking bartender wiping it down. There is only one person sitting at the bar, nursing a drink.
(11:16:01 PM) ***Kuniko looks at the person.
(11:16:22 PM) ***Crystal looks for landsharks
(11:16:22 PM) Nasturtium: "Hail, we're the crew from the Rhododendron Rampant, we forgot about a fetch quest, apparently?"
(11:16:42 PM) ***Barzini frowns. "Are these furnishings worth anything to anyone..?"
(11:16:57 PM) Nasturtium: "I doubt it."
(11:17:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: The barkeep is an overweight bald man, as probably expected. The person at the bar is an android in a nurse uniform, looking more human that previous androids. Also she's wearing a black cape with a company logo printed on it.
(11:17:03 PM) ***Hobbes looks for whoever's currently winning one of the card games by the widest margin.
(11:17:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: There are no landsharks
(11:17:24 PM) Nasturtium: cardsharks?
(11:17:30 PM) ***Barzini has a look at the android's logo.
(11:17:35 PM) ***Kuniko is confused by the nurse android.
(11:17:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: Cardsharks, definitely. Some sort of shark-person is winning
(11:18:16 PM) Mister_Cavern: The logo says "EvilCorp Co. Pty. Ltd. Inc. LLC PLC"
(11:18:31 PM) Nasturtium: "Ah, an employee!"
(11:18:36 PM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+13 Move Silently to sneak up close and eavesdrop on the sharks
(11:18:37 PM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+13 Move Silently to sneak up close and eavesdrop on the sharks : (3) 16
(11:18:56 PM) ***Barzini looks at the logo, then at the android's hull, then at the nurse's outfit, and then back to the first, and then to the second... many questions to ask this one!
(11:19:24 PM) ***Barzini pulls a stool up next to the android and sits down next to her. "Hi."
(11:20:23 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh, hello. You must be the people who need to do the ale fetching, yes?"
(11:20:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d20+1 Listen
(11:20:33 PM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20+1 Listen : (14) 15
(11:20:34 PM) ***Barzini blinks, "Ah... huh?"
(11:20:50 PM) ***Hobbes appraises the winning cardshark. Does he seem like the sort to have enough hit dice for an immediate abduction for spare parts to be infeasible?))
(11:20:51 PM) Mister_Cavern: Thanks to their chatter, they don't hear Crystal sneaking up on them
(11:20:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Apparently. We're working on that. Or rather, the shipping is in motion."
(11:20:54 PM) Barzini: "You know us?"
(11:21:21 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Abduction for spare parts?)
(11:22:08 PM) Hobbes: ((Think of them as impromptu Halloween decorations.))
(11:22:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: The talk between the card players seems to be fairly bland. Their fishing plans for the weekend, what they hope to catch and eat, the whale that he threw back last week (didn't have any spokes on it - his accent made whale==wheel) and so on.
(11:23:05 PM) Mister_Cavern: They all seem to have fairly few HD
(11:24:04 PM) Mister_Cavern: As for the nurse... "Yeah. I was the one contracted to set this up. Basically I drained the last of the alcohol here so that you'd need to get more from their supplier in Das Drinken Unt Drunken. After all, we needed to up the challenge for you all."
(11:24:04 PM) ***Kuniko observes the conversation between the droid lady and Barzini.
(11:24:59 PM) Nasturtium: "But... we own a distillery."
(11:25:21 PM) Nasturtium: "The bees are already on their way and everything!"
(11:25:22 PM) ***Hobbes grabs the winning cardshark by the head to yoink him away to the most secluded corner of the tavern he can find.
(11:26:06 PM) Mister_Cavern: All four corners are actually secluded. No dark hooded strangers are lurking
(11:26:12 PM) Hobbes: !1d20+11 grapple
(11:26:17 PM) Barzini: "Oh yeah, the captain... enlisted that CEO, didn't he? We're really a part of EvilCorp then, huh..."
(11:26:18 PM) ***Crystal casually slides into the seat vacated by the shark Hobbes grabs
(11:26:19 PM) Hobbes: !dice 1d20+11
(11:26:20 PM) Yuffie: Hobbes : Result of 1d20+11 : (6) 17
(11:26:36 PM) Nasturtium: "Enlisted? I thought I killed her?"
(11:26:59 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Wait... you intend on circumventing the entire mission by using your own resources? I suppose that makes everything safe..."
(11:27:03 PM) Barzini: (*she)
(11:27:12 PM) Kuniko: "...so all this hassle was for nothing?"
(11:27:41 PM) Nasturtium: "Well, I suppose we could go take over your usual distillery so that you're not in trouble for breaking deals..."
(11:28:19 PM) Barzini: "Oh yeah, she was that brutal alraune that kept poking us in inappropriate places!"
(11:28:35 PM) Nasturtium: "Yeah. Except me... the bitch."
(11:29:00 PM) Crystal: "So, fine fishy friends, what's the game and where's the rest of the gang?"
(11:29:32 PM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+15 Diplomancy
(11:29:32 PM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+15 Diplomancy : (15) 30
(11:30:19 PM) Kuniko: "She hasn't poked me yet, thankfully."
(11:30:47 PM) Sparkles: "I don't think he means the captain. This was a different Alraune."
(11:31:01 PM) Barzini: "Okay, so we need to take the booze from Das Drinken Unt Drunken so that our shares will be worth more, right?"
(11:31:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Huh what? The rest of the gang?" "We're playing Hide Under Hat." "Shh, don't say it so loud, you know that one is banned!"
(11:31:32 PM) Barzini: "Where is that place?"
(11:31:35 PM) Crystal: So this is everyone then?
(11:32:27 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh yeah, except for... where did Benny go off to then? He was here a moment ago."
(11:32:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: Hobbes is more than successful with his grapple
(11:32:51 PM) Mister_Cavern: To the secluded corner
(11:33:27 PM) Kuniko: "Another alraune?
(11:33:49 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Das Drinken Unt Drunken? It's underwater. That's how we decided to improve the challenge. Now... given the dangers of aquatic adventuring, you will all be needed to pass a basic health inspection - basically pressure tests, flexibility measurement, breath-holding exercise... you know, the usual."
(11:33:54 PM) ***Hobbes tilts a table over and drags the shark behind it. Muffled shark noises, wet, sucking sounds, and the occasional crack are heard from behind.
(11:34:35 PM) ***Barzini nods to Kuniko, "Yeah, you know, the one that beat the hell out of us! She wouldn't let me cast spells becau--...se... underwater?"
(11:34:41 PM) Nasturtium: "Underwater!? Pressure!? You mean I'd get to use some of my class abilities!? YUS!"
(11:34:58 PM) ***Kuniko frowns as she realized she had missed out on an interesting battle.
(11:35:37 PM) Barzini: "Why is EvilCorp challenging its shareholders..?"
(11:36:10 PM) Nasturtium: "Because that's how we grow and gain new levels."
(11:36:39 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey, does anyone know of turtle summoning magic? I'm thinking of improving my ninja abilities next level..."
(11:36:41 PM) Barzini: "Oh right... I do need more of those, don't I... ...underwater, huh..."
(11:36:48 PM) Mister_Cavern: "...I'm pretty sure you're not actually shareholders with EvilCorp Co. Pty. Ltd. Inc. LLC PLC, merely employees. Although the CEO did say he wants you all to be nice and powerful."
(11:36:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Though the pumpkin bombs are always tempting..."
(11:37:16 PM) Nasturtium: "But... I own several of the companies, how am I not a share holder?"
(11:37:25 PM) Kuniko: "We're only employees?"
(11:37:45 PM) ***Barzini scoots his stool away a bit, less intrusively close to the robot nurse, as he finds himself getting increasingly creeped out by her.
(11:37:46 PM) ***Hobbes emerges from behind the table at the end of a strangled gurgling noise, wearing the hollowed out head of the cardshark and walks back over to the table.
(11:38:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Stealing subsidiaries doesn't actually make you a shareholder of the parent company."
(11:38:24 PM) ***Barzini facepalms, "Aww man!"
(11:38:26 PM) Nasturtium: "But... but I stole the CEO position, isn't a CEO a shareholder by default?"
(11:38:26 PM) Mister_Cavern: Make a Spot check, Barzini
(11:38:27 PM) Crystal: There's Benny
(11:38:37 PM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+13 Spot
(11:38:38 PM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+13 Spot : (7) 20
(11:38:48 PM) Mister_Cavern: Make a Disguise check, Hobbes :3c
(11:39:05 PM) Crystal: And I think it's time for a new game.....
(11:39:07 PM) Hobbes: !dice 1d20
(11:39:07 PM) Yuffie: Hobbes : Result of 1d20 : 5
(11:39:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d20+1 best Spot of the group
(11:39:12 PM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20+1 best Spot of the group : (20) 21
(11:39:22 PM) Barzini: (Wow)
(11:39:41 PM) Crystal: This is called Fillet-o-fish.
(11:39:41 PM) Mister_Cavern: Okay, so Barzini can tell that it's Hobbes, not Johnny in disguise. And the group notice that Benny has... undergone a change
(11:39:57 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Ah! What happened to you, Benny? Why is your head on that guy?"
(11:40:24 PM) ***Barzini glances sidelong at Hobbes, scooting away-- ack closer to the creepy droid again
(11:40:38 PM) Mister_Cavern: "You're the controlling shareholder of the parent companies you stole, silly, not of EvilCorp Co. Pty. Ltd. Inc. LLC PLC!" the nurse tries to explain
(11:40:38 PM) ***Hobbes pulls up a chair to rejoin the game. "Uh...He actually has a growth potion. That's how he got so tall. He gave me one as a free sample. What game are we playing again?"
(11:40:47 PM) ***Kuniko notices the commotion at the table, wondering if she should draw her sword.
(11:40:53 PM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+5 initiative
(11:40:53 PM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+5 initiative : (9) 14
(11:41:07 PM) Kuniko: ( Initiative? )
(11:41:18 PM) Nasturtium: "Wait, so subsidiary CEOs have no shares of the parent company stock?"
(11:41:22 PM) Barzini: "So EvilCorp knows this and they're okay with it? I thought they were a bunch of scheming foreigners from Baator!"
(11:42:11 PM) ***Crystal will be slicing up the remaining landsharks to prevent them eating dad
(11:42:14 PM) Nasturtium: "I think it's part of their schemes, Barz."
(11:42:16 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh that's not nice! Well okay, some of them are, but the CEO is a reasonable sort. He hasn't killed anyone at all. Well okay except for a couple. Of dozen. Thousand. Maybe a million actually. Or two."
(11:42:46 PM) Mister_Cavern: Well, the landsharks are roughly 1 HD creatures, so I'm not going to require Crystal to make a roll.
(11:42:51 PM) Nasturtium: ((just to tempt you all http://d24w6bsrhbeh9d.cloudfront.net/ph ... 0_460s.jpg ))
(11:43:13 PM) Kuniko: (( Nutella? *Walks off with hands in pockets* ))
(11:43:14 PM) Barzini: (yuck)
(11:43:25 PM) ***Crystal slices up sharkpeople
(11:43:27 PM) Mister_Cavern: (...that looks like someone shat in the middle of the biscuits. And given my opinion of Nutella, probably tastes the same too

(11:43:32 PM) Nasturtium: ((never tried it myself))
(11:43:34 PM) ***Crystal gloats
(11:43:48 PM) Mister_Cavern: There are some brief screams of horror as the sharks are all turned into sharkfinsoup
(11:43:53 PM) Kuniko: (( Cookies look good though. And I don't think that color matches shit really. ))
(11:43:59 PM) Crystal: (( those hazelnuts could have been used to make perfectly good frangelica))
(11:44:05 PM) Hobbes: ((I totally have those cookies and am getting some now.))
(11:44:58 PM) Mister_Cavern: ((Also, I must be excused for a moment. I require the restroom. And then tea or coffee.))
(11:45:02 PM) Crystal: Okay, that's all the shark gang, Dad should be safe now, time for me to check out the old home
(11:45:12 PM) Nasturtium: "Well, onto the aquatic distillery!"
(11:46:12 PM) ***Hobbes shrugs and grabs his scythe, not bothering to remove his 'disguise' just yet. It might still come in handy.
(11:46:32 PM) Barzini: "Egh... what have we gotten ourselves into? Okay, so we have to get the booze from the underwater."
(11:46:51 PM) Barzini: (actually wait what is Barz whining about, he has the [Water] subtype)
(11:47:48 PM) Barzini: (or, no, water sphere. Is that water subtype? Will have to find out later. But the swim speed is there, at least.)
(11:48:10 PM) Barzini: (wait, yes, it's right there on my sheet. Water subtype.)
(11:48:10 PM) ***Crystal totally has 4 ranks in Swim
(11:48:32 PM) ***Nasturtium has Content Under Pressure
(11:48:44 PM) ***Kuniko has no real way of surviving underwater.
(11:48:44 PM) Nasturtium: and Sea Salt
(11:48:47 PM) ***Sparkles either
(11:48:52 PM) Nasturtium: Hrmm....
(11:49:12 PM) Nasturtium: 'We'll make a call to the Rozen Queen! They must have potions of water breathing!"
(11:49:17 PM) ***Hobbes could try to find some way to graft shark gills onto himself.
(11:50:09 PM) Nasturtium: ((does Hobbes breath?))
(11:51:01 PM) Barzini: "I guess I'll have to bust out the powers I gained from my time in the overlord's navy again."
(11:51:15 PM) Hobbes: ((Hm. Possibly not. I don't think it's listed that Jacks *don't* breathe, however.))
(11:51:25 PM) Nasturtium: ((creature type?))
(11:51:44 PM) Nasturtium: "Barz, I don't think the ability to suck 20 dicks in an hour will help here."
(11:51:54 PM) Kuniko: "I wonder how many potions we'd need."
(11:52:07 PM) Hobbes: ((Ah, Construct.))
(11:52:10 PM) ***Kuniko is surprised by Nasturtium's remark.
(11:52:15 PM) Hobbes: ((Construct [Plant] to be precise.))
(11:52:20 PM) Nasturtium: ((Hobbes *should* be fine))
(11:52:21 PM) ***Barzini winces eyes, glowing yellow, "Ngrck!"
(11:52:46 PM) Nasturtium: "Or your ability to handle loads of seamen"
(11:53:03 PM) Hobbes: "Kuniko, grab the gills from behind that table and meet me by the shore, I want to try something."
(11:53:28 PM) ***Barzini scratches the back of his head, "I take it you have as many problems with the navy as I did, Captain..."
(11:53:41 PM) Nasturtium: "Nah, it's just an easy target"
(11:55:54 PM) ***Nasturtium atttempts to summon sea turtles carrying potions of water breathing
(11:56:06 PM) ***Barzini eyes the unflappable agent. "So uh, don't take this the wrong way... Miss... Nurse EvilCorp Bot, but nice body. I mean, I have an android too! That I... sorta stole. From one of your companies. But she's just metal and paint."
(11:57:44 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Okay I return, let's read up...)
(11:57:57 PM) ***Kuniko goes over and grabs the gills as Hobbes asked. "Yes...?"
(11:59:00 PM) ***Hobbes calls Lilith down from the ship when they reach the shore. "Alright. You seem to enjoy abusing subordinates, so I need you to hold Lilith still while I staple these gills to her. Then we'll see if it allows her to breathe underwater."
(11:59:47 PM) Hobbes: <Lilith>"Nyan?"
(12:00:27 AM) ***Kuniko realizes that she has a chance at torturing this catgirl, quickly moving over to put her in a painful armlock. "Take your time, Hobbes..."
(12:01:47 AM) Hobbes: <Lilith>"Nyan!"
(12:02:10 AM) ***Hobbes lines up the gills loosely with Lilith's esophagus and then begins recklessly slamming staples in.
(12:03:01 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Um..." the nurse starts to say, watching this and grimacing
(12:03:35 AM) ***Nasturtium goes and looks for her turtles
(12:04:23 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I don't think that is safe use of office supplies there, using a stapler like that. You could cause serious harm. That isn't the way you apply grafts..."
(12:05:02 AM) ***Kuniko isn't really worried about how badly she's hurting Lilith while keeping her restrained.
(12:05:12 AM) ***Barzini orders a drink while staring blankly at the nurse's hardware, curious of response.
(12:06:26 AM) Hobbes: "Any successful business is going to have to learn to jury-rig things when pressed for time."
(12:06:54 AM) Mister_Cavern: I should mention she has one of those giant dire syringes, but you probably knew that. She also has a sort-of-robotic tentacle emerging from her back, with a thick-nozzle syringe (the kind used for squirting medicine). And one shoulder has a machinegun
(12:10:32 AM) Mister_Cavern: She turns her head to Barzini. "Pardon? You like my hardware? I take it you want to upgrade your android to a similar design?"
(12:10:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I can arrange to have that happen. I can also perform upgrades on organic creatures, too."
(12:11:24 AM) Barzini: "Yeah! Some of them, anyway. Maybe she can pass on the octopus implant though..."
(12:11:37 AM) Nasturtium: "I'm guessing you're here to upgrade those of us who have difficulty breathing underwater, or rather, that's why you, specifically are delivering the message?"
(12:11:46 AM) ***Barzini quietly wonders whether it's safe entrusting EvilCorp to modify one of his vassals...
(12:12:16 AM) Kuniko: "Should we trust that?"
(12:12:51 AM) Nasturtium: ((gimme a moment guys, brb))
(12:13:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well, I can certainly have that arranged. Don't worry, I won't give her the AEbol-37-H modification. Do you want the M4-UltraG machinegun modification? And yes, I have the training to apply grafts."
(12:14:09 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I was sent because I can perform the necessary upgrades on your bodies," she slowly snaps some white latex gloves on, giggling, "and because I have to carry out the stress tests too, to make sure you won't just black out at 50 feet of pressure."
(12:15:03 AM) Crystal: How about a full menu of modifications
(12:15:20 AM) Crystal: and don't skimp on the fine print
(12:15:44 AM) Barzini: "Yeah! Give her the body job and the machine gun."
(12:16:31 AM) ***Barzini touches the nurse bot's leg, curious about the "new" hull's texture.
(12:16:32 AM) Barzini: (so many circumstances that lead to groping tonight...)
(12:16:38 AM) Kuniko: "I wouldn't want any permanent changes..."
(12:17:49 AM) Crystal: You seem pretty happy with your last changes
(12:18:15 AM) Barzini: "I think we're all pretty happy with her last changes."
(12:18:22 AM) Mister_Cavern: Her leg seems to consist of heated latex or some similar substance, sort of fleshy, over the steel shell
(12:19:16 AM) Kuniko: "...that's different."
(12:19:43 AM) ***Barzini takes about three seconds to think and process his thoughts before telling some prinnies to go get Stapler to come to shore and to hurry it up.
(12:20:09 AM) Mister_Cavern: It doesn't take long for Stapler to arrive. "You called for me?"
(12:20:13 AM) Barzini: "Oh, uh, she'll need clothes after this, huh?"
(12:20:13 AM) ***Sparkles comes in along with Stapler to see what's taking everyone.
(12:21:04 AM) Barzini: "Stapler, I've made an appointment for your upgrades."
(12:21:36 AM) Nasturtium: "Kuniko, will you even be able to submerge with those things?"
(12:21:46 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Understood. I assume these upgrades will be A) Efficient, B) Productive, C) Compatible and D) Sexy?"
(12:22:17 AM) Barzini: "All of the above! Hey nurse, the machine gun comes off, right?"
(12:23:07 AM) ***Kuniko blushes from Nasturtium's question, mumbling an answer. "I don't know..."
(12:23:10 AM) Mister_Cavern: "It takes some mechanical work to remove, as it is connected to the central nervous system via a cable. I would not recommend an amateur perform the removal."
(12:24:16 AM) Barzini: "... ... okay it'll just be C and D, but you're going under the knife anyway! Or the screwdriver in this case."
(12:24:56 AM) Barzini: "Just the boob job nurse, no gun."
(12:25:19 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Right you are. We can get that done in short order - or while you're on the delivery quest even!"
(12:26:27 AM) Nasturtium: "Well, we have several crew who can't go underwater and stay alive. So we kind of need to get that taken care of first"
(12:26:39 AM) ***Nasturtium mumbles "where are those turtles, anyway?"
(12:27:02 AM) Sparkles: "Aw man, we need to go underwater? I guess I'll have to oil my wings then."
(12:27:16 AM) Mister_Cavern: "What turtles? Also, we need to do those tests before you head down, so we can do the surgery then as well."
(12:28:24 AM) Nasturtium: "The sea turtles I summoned to bring us water breathing potions."
(12:29:21 AM) Barzini: "Great! You can do it once we're off. Throw in some clothes a sailor might wear. But if you mess with her head or damage her, I'm making you Hobbes' vassal."
(12:30:10 AM) Kuniko: "What are you talking to, Barzini?"
(12:30:45 AM) ***Barzini speaks to the nursebot, while indicating the nekomata with the "sore throat."
(12:31:18 AM) ***Hobbes rips the poorly grafted gills off of Lilith's throat. "Tangentially related: You should probably fix her esophagus while you're getting her ready for underwater travel."
(12:31:45 AM) ***Sparkles glances over at Lilith and does what she can to fix up her throat
(12:32:22 AM) ***Nasturtium looks around at her crew and just walks out to the shore, summoning sea turtles with copious amounts of rum.
(12:32:30 AM) Kuniko: "Hmph..." *She lets go of Lilith, though she had fun twisting her arms as painfully as she did*
(12:32:35 AM) Mister_Cavern: "That looks rather painful. I can fix her, yes."
(12:32:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: ...do you actually have a turtle summoning ability, Nasturtles?
(12:32:49 AM) Hobbes: <Lilith>"Nyan!" *rubs up against Sparkles affectionately*
(12:33:14 AM) Nasturtium: yes
(12:33:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: Well, one magic touch from Sparkles fixes it, so the nurse isn't needed for that
(12:33:27 AM) Mister_Cavern: Well in that case, the turtles do arrive. Splish splish.
(12:33:50 AM) Nasturtium: "he may summon a pair of medium size Snapping Turtles (Stormwrack, 168) at will, who will swim up in the nearest body of water, and may be carrying interesting or useful minor items (including drinks) on their backs."
(12:34:19 AM) ***Nasturtium checks to sea if turtles brought rum or potion
(12:34:34 AM) Sparkles: "You guys should really save the throat mutilation for people we don't like, as opposed to our minions."
(12:35:08 AM) Mister_Cavern: They have rum, yes
(12:35:27 AM) Barzini: "Hobbes is wearing a shark's head over his own. Now I'm starting to doubt that pumpkin was originally his head too."
(12:35:43 AM) Mister_Cavern: Mask under a mask under a mask
(12:35:48 AM) Kuniko: "I still need to figure a way to breathe underwater."
(12:36:19 AM) Mister_Cavern: Although you can probably give them specific instructions on what kind of useful things to get now that they're here, Nast
(12:36:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I did say I can apply grafts to you." she says, conversationally. It seems the Nurse is looking forward for an excuse to perform surgery and/or experimentation
(12:36:53 AM) ***Nasturtium greatfully takes the rum and starts chugging it, sitting on the shore
(12:36:55 AM) Kuniko: "Can they be removed afterwards?"
(12:37:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Yes. It's a little painful to do, but I can knock you out for that, and there won't be any scarring or damage"
(12:37:18 AM) Sparkles: "...do you have anything that removes the need to breathe *at all*?"
(12:37:33 AM) Kuniko: "How long will it take?"
(12:38:38 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I'm afraid not. I can grant gills, and I can inject a special substance that makes it so you can only breathe water, not air, but I can't make you breathless. Hmm... the tests will take under an hour, and then the surgery might take a few hours depending on how many need alteration"
(12:39:48 AM) Kuniko: "Do we have that much time at hand, captain?"
(12:40:58 AM) Nasturtium: captain is outside drinking
(12:42:21 AM) Kuniko: "...I guess we can go through with me getting gills as soon as possible."
(12:43:05 AM) Sparkles: "I'll need the gill grafts as well then."
(12:43:07 AM) Nasturtium: "Yes, we have time. Hell, we're supplying the tavern from BoozeCorp, and just going under the sea to acquire a new company. We have time."
(12:43:16 AM) ***Barzini sips at whatever the barkeep gave him, getting a taste of the product to be retrieved and idly realizing that the evil nurse bot is doing surgeries after tossing back a bunch of the booze here.
(12:43:25 AM) Nasturtium: "I want everyone not able to survive for long periods underwater to queue up"
(12:43:51 AM) Sparkles: q.push("Sparkles")
(12:43:58 AM) Sparkles: ;
(12:44:16 AM) ***Crystal sees how long she can hold her breath
(12:44:43 AM) ***Crystal eventually turns various bright colors, gets dizzy, sighs and lines up behind Sparkles
(12:45:29 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Okay, everyone follow me please~" Finally she stands up, her cape flickering and making an "oooOooo~" noise (yes, the cape), and walks out to the back room.
(12:45:32 AM) ***Kuniko is first in line.
(12:45:45 AM) Kuniko: "...I hope this won't hurt too much."
(12:46:01 AM) Kuniko: *She follows the droid lady to the back room*
(12:46:13 AM) ***Sparkles goes along with them
(12:46:56 AM) Mister_Cavern: The room is clearly not tavern-related. There is a raised stadium along one wall, a big metal chamber, a row of hospital beds... and what looks like a twister mat. "Okay, can everyone stand on the stadium there, at the edge, and reach down as far as you can?"
(12:47:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: She pulls out a tape measure
(12:47:36 AM) ***Nasturtium lines up, and bends over swigging rum still
(12:48:20 AM) ***Sparkles does
(12:48:49 AM) ***Kuniko does as asked
(12:48:56 AM) Crystal: lines, up, stands, and reaches down so far that she flaps her wings and inverts
(12:49:13 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Come on everyone! This is an important medical test! If anyone can touch the floor from all the way up there... then you don't have bones, but I'd be most impressed!"
(12:49:47 AM) ***Barzini sits languidly and drinks, reminding Stapler what general measurements she's supposed to ask for, what color her new nipples should be, and any other explicit details the booze inspires.
(12:49:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: Everyone needs to make a... fuck I'll call it a Balance check. Can be done untrained (Dex), and you're allowed to take 10
(12:50:14 AM) Sparkles: !dice 1d20
(12:50:14 AM) Yuffie: Sparkles : Result of 1d20 : 12
(12:50:22 AM) Mister_Cavern: "You too, mister pervert demon man! This isn't just for ladies!"
(12:50:28 AM) Nasturtium: !dice 1d20+12 bending over, swigging rum, flashing panties

(12:50:44 AM) Kuniko: !1d20+4
(12:50:49 AM) Barzini: "Wha? But, I don't need a surgery..."
(12:50:49 AM) Nasturtium: so, you know, 14 isn't bad
(12:50:50 AM) ***Barzini stands up.

(12:51:04 AM) Nasturtium: "and I do? She has to make sure we're all in shape"
(12:51:11 AM) Nasturtium: (I blame the rum)
(12:51:21 AM) ***Kuniko decides to take 10 after stumbling a bit.
(12:51:42 AM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+6 Balance (or 4 better if Tumble can be used)
(12:51:42 AM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+6 Balance (or 4 better if Tumble can be used) : (6) 12
(12:51:58 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh dear, it looks like those are getting in your way, miss samurai. Oh well... you can't quire reach your toes it seems." However, with mighty effort, Kuniko tries again and strains, managing 4cm
(12:52:30 AM) Nasturtium: !dice 1d20+12 try again
(12:52:30 AM) Yuffie: Nasturtium : Result of 1d20+12 try again : (2) 14
(12:52:32 AM) Nasturtium: ...
(12:52:34 AM) Nasturtium: wha?
(12:52:38 AM) Mister_Cavern: Whereas Sparkles and Crystal get a perfect match at 2cm down the stage, Nasturtium gets 4cm, Hobbes bends easily for 5cm and Barzini shows his flexibility with 8cm
(12:52:48 AM) Nasturtium: fuck it, she tries a third time, taking ten. 22
(12:53:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: Okay, Nasturtiun remembers she has vines and reaches 12cm past the stage

(12:55:16 AM) ***Crystal ((is afk for 2-5 mins))
(12:58:49 AM) Mister_Cavern: Only Crystal and Hobbes fail to note that the nurse doesn't spend that long actually measuring them, and mostly spends her time behind the group, with her built-in video camera.
(12:59:24 AM) ***Nasturtium thinks so long as she isn't drugging us
(12:59:47 AM) Barzini: "You could have just asked to check us out."
(1:00:46 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh no no, this is an important medical procedure. Right, so generally you're flexible. Hmm..."
(1:01:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well, on to the next stage! Can you all go onto the tiled floor there and put your left foot on a blue dot~"
(1:01:56 AM) ***Crystal puts her right foot in
(1:01:57 AM) ***Nasturtium raises an eyebrow but does as requested.... lack of "feet" not withstanding
(1:02:03 AM) ***Crystal pulls her right foot out
(1:02:09 AM) ***Crystal shakes it all about
(1:02:17 AM) ***Sparkles follows along, a little more cautiously now
(1:02:22 AM) ***Barzini gets to the tiled floor, hoping this is not Twister.
(1:02:35 AM) ***Kuniko puts her left foot on the blue dot, looking at Crystal with a confused expression.
(1:03:04 AM) ***Crystal then puts left foot on blue dot
(1:04:02 AM) ***Crystal telepathetically implores Soda Nose to loosen up a bit
(1:04:42 AM) Mister_Cavern: What follows is indeed basically twister, for about twenty minutes. Constantly being placed into physically awkward and/or embarrassing positions. All the while being recorded.
(1:05:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: Finally, she switches it off. "Okay, all done~ Everyone into the chamber there now, there's just one more test."
(1:05:17 AM) ***Crystal wonders who exactly would be embarassed here
(1:05:36 AM) ***Hobbes is oblivious to what possible medical purpose these tests might serve, but then he's not a doctor.
(1:05:36 AM) ***Crystal also uses flight to cheat when she can get away with it
(1:05:55 AM) ***Barzini smiles after the 'exam'. "Like I said before Kuniko, I don't think there's anyone on the ship that doesn't approve of your upgrades."
(1:06:08 AM) Mister_Cavern: The "chamber" is a big metal dome with a pillar in the centre and one hatch with a strong glass window. Along the wall is a series of harnesses.
(1:06:19 AM) ***Nasturtium sighs
(1:06:25 AM) ***Kuniko is the only one embarassed, most likely.
(1:06:51 AM) Kuniko: "Barzini, just...talk about something else than my boobs for once..."
(1:07:13 AM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d20-1 Bluff, I came up with this plot idea all on my own!
(1:07:13 AM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20-1 Bluff, I came up with this plot idea all on my own! : (2) 1
(1:07:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: Exactly, Yuffie
(1:07:37 AM) Barzini: "Well, Stapler's going to get new boobs too."
(1:07:55 AM) Nasturtium: "You should see the use I put the cream to, Kuniko."
(1:08:27 AM) Kuniko: "...do I want to see it, captain?"
(1:08:46 AM) Barzini: "Who do you suppose she used it on?"
(1:10:09 AM) Kuniko: "It was meant for the chest, wasn't it?"
(1:10:33 AM) Nasturtium: "Doesn't mean that's the only place it works..."
(1:10:39 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> grins
(1:11:14 AM) ***Sparkles facepalm
(1:11:50 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Everyone? If you could just strap yourselves into the harnesses? Basically the chamber will spin around a bit. I need you to press the button to your side when you start getting a headache or feeling sick."
(1:12:19 AM) ***Sparkles complies
(1:12:34 AM) ***Kuniko does as asked.
(1:12:35 AM) ***Crystal presses button
(1:12:49 AM) ***Nasturtium doesn't bother strapping in
(1:13:28 AM) ***Barzini narrows his eyes at the EvilCorp nurse, but does so, knowing that Johnny's got his back if this gets too awful.
(1:13:42 AM) Mister_Cavern: A red light flashes and a warning signal goes off. The whole chamber shudders as though some kind of mechanism has triggered. It doesn't start moving though.
(1:14:49 AM) Kuniko: "...?"
(1:14:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Yeah, just like that. Well, here we go! I'll set it to something fairly mild to start with... let's try 20 Gs, okay?" She shuts the door, secures it, then pulls a lever... the room starts spinning. Faster, and faster, and faster...
(1:15:28 AM) ***Nasturtium http://posterous.com/getfile/files.post ... photo.jpeg
(1:15:32 AM) Mister_Cavern: Soon it feels like your skin is being pulled towards your back, things feel a bit funny... and DC 25 Fort Saves are required
(1:15:48 AM) ***Nasturtium is immune to ocean pressure, this count?
(1:15:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: Sure
(1:16:09 AM) Sparkles: !dice 1d20+16 warded

(1:17:48 AM) ***Nasturtium doesn't give a fuck
(1:18:16 AM) Mister_Cavern: Well, soon enough, Barzini and Kuniko just black out. Sparkles, Crystal and Nasturtium on the other hand seem fine.
(1:18:19 AM) Hobbes: !dice 1d20+5
(1:18:19 AM) Yuffie: Hobbes : Result of 1d20+5 : (10) 15
(1:18:20 AM) ***Crystal thought that was all Nast ever gave

(1:18:30 AM) Mister_Cavern: Hobbes also passes out.
(1:18:36 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Shall I crank it higher?" she asks through a speaker
(1:18:45 AM) ***Crystal presses button again
(1:18:53 AM) Sparkles: "Bring it!"
(1:19:14 AM) ***Nasturtium just swigs rum again
(1:19:35 AM) Mister_Cavern: The light flashes, the siren sounds, and the machine slowly stops spinning, grinding to a halt. She then opens the chamber. "Okaaaaay... oh dear, those three passed out. Well, that makes it easy to give that one her modifications ^_^"
(1:20:07 AM) Nasturtium: "I thought you were going to turn it up?"
(1:20:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: "The button was pressed. I'm not doing this to torture you all!"
(1:20:48 AM) ***Nasturtium laughs "Ha, torture... yeah right."
(1:20:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: She undoes the harnesses for Kuniko, Hobbes and Barzini, dragging them out onto hospital beds. "Oh, anyone else who needs modifications, please lie down. Hmm... should they have some kind of privacy curtains, or wouldn't they care, being adventurers?"
(1:21:14 AM) Crystal: Kuniko might care
(1:21:25 AM) ***Sparkles lies down on the bed "curtain for me, please.
(1:21:28 AM) Sparkles: "
(1:21:35 AM) Nasturtium: "Kuniko would probably care, Hobbes, we're still not sure if he even has anything, and Barz... probably doesn't care"
(1:22:53 AM) ***Nasturtium gets popcorn and sits down to watch Hobbes' modifications "Rammy, take notes"
(1:22:58 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Okay then, curtains it is, then." She sets up some privacy curtains around Kuniko, and around Sparkles, then starts going around with a syringe. "Okay, just need to put you under." she says to Sparkles and Crystal. "The operation stings a bit"
(1:23:11 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Oh, and likewise to Lillith, seeing as she's here)
(1:23:14 AM) Sparkles: "Be honest, Barz probably *wants* to not have a curtain"
(1:23:50 AM) ***Sparkles allows herself to be poisoned this one time
(1:24:50 AM) Mister_Cavern: You can elect to fail the Saving Throw of 17 if you want, which causes "Sleep 1d2 hours"
(1:24:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d2 Sparkles
(1:24:59 AM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d2 Sparkles : 2
(1:25:28 AM) Mister_Cavern: And soon, Sparkles drifts off into a nice narcotic haze, floating into bizarre dreams.
(1:25:56 AM) ***Crystal peeps telepathetically
(1:26:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: Presumably Crystal and Lillith allow themselves to go under?
(1:26:11 AM) Mister_Cavern: Or do you FIGHT THE DRUGS
(1:26:18 AM) ***Crystal fights stubbornly
(1:26:30 AM) Crystal: !dice1d20+12 fort
(1:26:31 AM) Nasturtium: "Fight it! Fight the drugs! Make this more entertaining!"
(1:26:37 AM) Sparkles: ((uh, can I suppress immunity to nonmagical poisons?))
(1:26:37 AM) Mister_Cavern: You need a space there
(1:26:44 AM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+12 fort
(1:26:44 AM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+12 fort : (18) 30
(1:26:49 AM) Mister_Cavern: Sure you can, Sparkles!
(1:26:55 AM) Sparkles: ((kk))
(1:27:07 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh dear... maybe you should just pretend to be asleep, okay?" the nurse asks
(1:27:44 AM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+5 unskilled bluff to fake it
(1:27:44 AM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+5 unskilled bluff to fake it : (2) 7
(1:27:50 AM) Mister_Cavern: She then hums to herself, before turning to Nasturtium. "So... they all wanted gills, eye beams and snake arms, right?"
(1:28:05 AM) Crystal: ZZZZ! I say ZZZZZ! TOTALLY ASLEEP!!!
(1:28:31 AM) Sparkles: ((no snake arms D:))
(1:28:33 AM) Kuniko: ( Wait, am I out cold or awake? )
(1:28:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: Kuniko is out cold

(1:28:46 AM) Kuniko: ( FFFFFFUUUU )
(1:28:51 AM) Nasturtium: "....yes. Yes that is totally what they all want."
(1:29:16 AM) Hobbes: Oh, and Lilith is just going under.
(1:29:39 AM) Hobbes: ((Also, wow, completely spaced out for a bit. Guess I'm more tired than I thought.))
(1:29:42 AM) Mister_Cavern: At any rate, over the next couple of hours, those who need gills are given gills via a series of cuts, gland grafts and slime transfusions. Fortunately she doesn't actually give them eye beams or snake arms.
(1:29:56 AM) ***Nasturtium snaps her fingers, "Damn."
(1:29:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: Although she does perform a full medical inspection on each one. A detailed inspection, even.
(1:30:05 AM) ***Crystal already has freeze beams and a tail
(1:30:23 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> has the camera running and makes copious sketches
(1:30:28 AM) ***Sparkles will have to request eyebeams when we get back
(1:30:32 AM) Mister_Cavern: Granted, Kuniko and Sparkles have their privacy curtains, so the rest don't get to observe those ones. The others...
(1:30:35 AM) Kuniko: ( Imagined her fondling Kuniko's boobs. *Me gusta* )
(1:30:53 AM) Nasturtium: ((We all do that while Kuniko is sleeping))
(1:31:28 AM) Mister_Cavern: Finally, those who are asleep come to, finding themselves to now have gills. Grey, rubbery gills. And a bit slimy.
(1:32:03 AM) Kuniko: (( Or not. ))
(1:32:25 AM) Crystal: These only come in grey?!
(1:32:31 AM) Barzini: (I like how Kuniko's pills have given her exactly the results she was expecting but she's still freaked out about it.)
(1:32:37 AM) Kuniko: "...urgh, my head hurts." *Notices the gills* "...okay."
(1:32:51 AM) ***Barzini sits up, groggy, and having been one who didn't need any water breathing enhancements.
(1:32:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I'm afraid so. You'll need to use make-up or illusions to change that, I guess. They come from aboleths, you see..."
(1:33:00 AM) Kuniko: ( What's wrong with her not being really satisfied? :U )
(1:33:14 AM) Kuniko: ( And she still has two pills left )
(1:33:15 AM) Hobbes: <Lilith> *Attempts to pounce upon and eat herself.*
(1:33:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: Barzini didn't get gills, don't worry. He just received the full exam
(1:34:00 AM) ***Barzini checks his equipment, to see to it that all his magic items are present.
(1:34:06 AM) Nasturtium: "Rammy! Film that pussy attempting to eat itself!"
(1:34:22 AM) Nasturtium: "Don't worry Barz, we watched the whole time."
(1:34:23 AM) Mister_Cavern: She even managed to snag blood samples from everyone who was out. But no items were stolen.
(1:34:25 AM) Nasturtium: "Closely."
(1:34:35 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Right, so, is everyone ready to dive?"
(1:34:40 AM) Crystal: And I was only faking sleep!
(1:34:43 AM) Kuniko: "I guess so."
(1:34:49 AM) Nasturtium: ((how much longer are we thinking of going?
(1:34:58 AM) ***Sparkles makes sure that her life-energy patterns are properly routed through the gills and uses her Disguise Pen to make them look nicer
(1:34:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: ((was thinking of wrapping up here))
(1:35:02 AM) Nasturtium: only... I have to be up by like 5 tomorrow...))
(1:35:05 AM) Nasturtium: ((ok, good)
(1:35:18 AM) ***Barzini looks to Stapler, even though it's not likely she was touched yet.
(1:36:04 AM) Kuniko: (( I need to go sleep myself ))
(1:36:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: And so, the team is led to the diving point, the clear blue water sparkling at them invitingly. Soon, they will be diving to the murky depths, to fetch BOOZE. What will they encounter there? What will happen to Stapler in the meantime? And what plans does the Nurse really have for all that data?
(1:36:31 AM) Mister_Cavern: Find out in the next exciting episode of Tengen Toppa Friendship Punch!
(1:36:35 AM) Nasturtium: wait wait!
(1:36:46 AM) ***Mister_Cavern waits waits
(1:36:48 AM) Kuniko: I think Kuniko would interrogate the droid if she found out she was recording all that.
(1:37:07 AM) Nasturtium: Two sea turtles come up, carrying an odd pirate hat with a bottle of rum, a long straw through it's stopper
(1:37:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: Sure
(1:37:16 AM) Mister_Cavern is now known as Koumei
(1:37:20 AM) ***Nasturtium picks up and puts on this hat, and does the chin strap
(1:37:23 AM) Kuniko is now known as Icyshadow
(1:37:28 AM) Nasturtium is now known as Prak
(1:37:29 AM) Sparkles is now known as Quantumboost
(1:37:30 AM) Hobbes is now known as Chamomile
(1:37:31 AM) Barzini is now known as Iori
(1:37:34 AM) Icyshadow: Well, that was fun.
(1:37:36 AM) You are now known as rabid_schnauzer
(1:37:40 AM) Icyshadow: And now I must leave.
(1:37:43 AM) Icyshadow: See ya later.
(1:37:44 AM) Iori: See ya.
(1:37:45 AM) Koumei: Seeya dood
(1:37:45 AM) rabid_schnauzer: night icy
(1:37:50 AM) Icyshadow left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- s0 d4Mn l33t |t'z 5c4rY!).
(1:37:57 AM) Chamomile: Definitely time for sleep. G'night.
(1:38:01 AM) Koumei: Nite
(1:38:03 AM) Chamomile left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.87 [Firefox 3.6.26/20120128224517]).
(1:38:07 AM) rabid_schnauzer: I
(1:38:08 AM) Prak: same, need to be getting on with bed. New post on E, Koumei
(1:38:18 AM) Koumei: Cool, I'll post later on
(1:38:21 AM) Koumei: Night Prak
(1:38:22 AM) rabid_schnauzer: ll be here for a bit, but need to move lappy
(1:38:26 AM) Koumei: fair enough
(1:38:29 AM) Prak: night all
(1:38:43 AM) Prak left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: Nightstar's Java Chat http://www.nightstar.net).
(1:38:44 AM) Iori: So did Nax not play any Disgaea games? First the dullahan thing, now the age thing.
(1:39:15 AM) Koumei: I'm not sure. I assumed he had, and that was why he really really wanted in
(1:39:35 AM) Iori: I made Barzini's age 1999 because Etna was 1300, Laharl was 1400, and Flonne was 1500 and the other two made fun of her for being an old lady.
(1:40:05 AM) Iori: So presumably demons multiply their age by a hundred.
(1:40:14 AM) Koumei: Pretty much
(1:40:44 AM) Koumei: Laharl acts 14, Etna looks 13-ish, Flonne... could theoretically be 15, if a very dense and flat-chested one
(1:42:13 AM) Iori: Sheltered celestial, and age difference is Serious Business when you're that young.
(1:43:14 AM) Quantumboost: Hm. I should up Sparkles' age by a factor of roughly 10 if that's the case then.
(1:43:31 AM) rabid_schnauzer: well then
(1:44:00 AM) rabid_schnauzer: !dice 1d12+10
(1:44:01 AM) Yuffie: rabid_schnauzer : Result of 1d12+10 : 13
(1:44:18 AM) Iori: Unlucky. What was that for?
(1:44:37 AM) rabid_schnauzer: *100 = 1300 I guess
(1:44:44 AM) Iori: Ah
(1:49:59 AM) Iori: I did flesh out a little bit of Barzini's past but I hadn't thought of what his parents might have been.
(1:54:10 AM) Iori: I have never done an underwater adventure before. DMed stuff that had a lot to do with water but nothing that would be true undersea combat or whatever.
(1:58:11 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Everything underwater is under-CRed by 1-4 points for no discernable reason
(1:58:33 AM) Iori: Handy.
(1:59:07 AM) rabid_schnauzer: aside from Aboleths, who are just a "hope the MC doesn't actually read the spell list and personality description" monster
(2:00:17 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Otherwise you all fail one of the illusion saves you were making every 5' from a quarter mile out and eventually drown without even realizing you were underwater
(2:01:18 AM) Iori: Yep. Never seen Aboleths used, as they are typically a Fuck You monster up there with black puddings, or as one player called them, the "FLEEING THE DUNGEON NAKED" monster.
(2:03:27 AM) rabid_schnauzer: There was an incident in Rob's old 2e game, where the PCs released a massive black pudding as a bioweapon against an invading army
(2:53:07 AM) Koumei: There we go. I'm adding a new rule to the diet. Every Wednesday the 8th of February, I'm allowed to have Coke and pixistix
(3:43:07 AM) ***rabid_schnauzer zzzzzzzz

"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

I got hit by a nasty flu at sunday, so I am not sure if I have the strength to attend the game this week, given I'm still sick.

Opps, looks like I forgot to post last weeks, so I'll add once I find where I saved it.
This week' Logpost:
This week' Logpost:
(10:49:40 PM) Iori is now known as Barzini
(10:50:19 PM) Prak is now known as Nasturtium
(10:52:07 PM) Nasturtium: (may be a bit distracted tonight, I'm talking to one of the few available, attractive females I've met in my major on facebook)
(10:53:00 PM) rabid_schnauzer: shoulda majored in ballroom dancing
(10:53:33 PM) GX [GX@Nightstar-47529af1.dsl.look.ca] entered the room.
(10:53:47 PM) Nasturtium: while I'm surprisingly graceful and flexible for my size, that'd be a bit like a panda majoring in such
(10:54:50 PM) Koumei: Heh, fair enough. I didn't do anything on Valentine's Day - I celebrated the previous day with my gf as it was our 7 year anniversary.
(10:55:10 PM) Koumei: Had I the money I'd have ordered her green tea kitkats from Jlist
(10:56:21 PM) Nasturtium: how much are those?
(11:01:01 PM) rabid_schnauzer: so we are on then?
(11:01:07 PM) You are now known as Crystal
(11:01:25 PM) Nasturtium: we seem to be
(11:02:46 PM) Koumei: They're about $24USD + shipping
(11:02:47 PM) Koumei: And yes
(11:02:51 PM) Koumei is now known as Mister_Cavern
(11:04:36 PM) Nasturtium left the room (quit: Connection reset by peer).
(11:05:33 PM) NSJavaGuest-1834 [NSJavaIRC@Nightstar-86052984.scrm01.sbcglobal.net] entered the room.
(11:05:58 PM) NSJavaGuest-1834 is now known as Nasturtium
(11:06:10 PM) Nasturtium: (sorry about that, chrome crashed)
(11:07:08 PM) Crystal: (you missed nothing)
(11:07:15 PM) Mister_Cavern: When we last left off, the party, now with gills (some, at least), dived into the ocean, on a quest... for BEER. Making their way from the Drink & Drunk, they are now headed towards the Adrinken unt Adrunken, but who knows what lies ahead?
(11:07:47 PM) ***Crystal calls dibs on whatever it is
(11:09:15 PM) Mister_Cavern: There is a pipe or tunnel that goes down fifty odd feet, before opening out into the pleasantly warm ocean. The sand is vaguely visible below, and tall, leafy things waver about unmenacingly.
(11:09:23 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey! I'm the captain, first share is mine."
(11:09:27 PM) Mister_Cavern: Rover checks.
(11:09:31 PM) Mister_Cavern: Or Spot if you prefer
(11:09:47 PM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+13
(11:09:48 PM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+13 : (18) 31

(11:10:05 PM) Yuffie: Nasturtium : Result of 1d20+1 : (8) 9
(11:15:51 PM) Barzini: Received CTCP 'PING 1329279361' (to #arbitrarystring) from Barzini
(11:15:55 PM) Mister_Cavern: Only Barzini can see it off in the distance - but he can see it remarkably well. Carved out of coral, about three hundred yards away, is an actual building. With a barrel tied to it, bobbing about. Of course, there are things swimming around it, too. Long, icky looking serpents
(11:16:21 PM) Nasturtium: (can the rest of us see the serpents?)
(11:17:16 PM) Barzini: "Johnny, I think we're about to find out if you really are the toughest."
(11:17:17 PM) ***Crystal fails to see the sea serpents by the seashore five times fast
(11:17:58 PM) Barzini: "Serpents guarding this place tightly. I wonder what's in the barrel?"
(11:18:42 PM) Crystal: Isn't it obvious?
(11:18:54 PM) Crystal: This is the underwater fetch quest
(11:19:05 PM) Crystal: So it's got to be a barrel of SEA monkies!
(11:19:35 PM) Nasturtium: "or booze."
(11:19:51 PM) Barzini: "They'd better have more than one barrel of booze for us!"
(11:20:05 PM) Nasturtium: "Is it at least a big barrel?"
(11:20:29 PM) Barzini: "Pretty big. Got a plan, captain?"
(11:20:45 PM) Mister_Cavern: Only Barzini can see the serpents, until he points them out.
(11:21:00 PM) ***Barzini indicates the long toothy security.
(11:21:24 PM) Nasturtium: "...cut the rope and swim really fast?"
(11:21:53 PM) Mister_Cavern: There really is a massive swarm of them, all in one curling wall, but they even appear to have leaders. One particularly long snake, with a hideous human head, seaweed for hair.
(11:22:18 PM) Barzini: "Johnny's the fastest swimmer we've got."
(11:22:22 PM) Nasturtium: "learn cleric spells as arcane spells from them?"
(11:23:53 PM) Barzini: "We're fish food without a plan... uh, Crystal, weren't you trying to interrogate sharks?"
(11:24:15 PM) Crystal: Sharks? I thought you said these were serpents?
(11:24:28 PM) Barzini: "Sharks, serpents, you get the idea!"
(11:24:40 PM) Barzini: "They're long and blue with the fin and a lot of teeth!"
(11:24:50 PM) Nasturtium: "Sharks are really just aquatic serpents with a few protrusions and more teeth."
(11:25:03 PM) Crystal: So we should wade up and talk to them?
(11:26:11 PM) Barzini: "I don't know if we can beat them all underwater..."
(11:26:40 PM) Nasturtium: "...hey Barz? do you know how water interacts with your lightning fiend powers?"
(11:26:47 PM) Crystal: so are we asking nicely or sneaking past them?
(11:27:13 PM) Mister_Cavern: (You should always grab the Pentagram of Protection before firing the lightning gun underwater!)
(11:27:24 PM) Barzini: (Good question MC. Barz would know due to navy-->pirate experience.)
(11:27:29 PM) Nasturtium: (wha?)
(11:28:06 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Quake reference. Anyway, should we go D&D logic where it works as normal, or physics where it discharges in a large AoE? What do people want as the fixed now-and-forever ruling?)
(11:28:34 PM) Nasturtium: (I'd like the large AoE with some idea of how large
(11:28:36 PM) Nasturtium: )
(11:29:28 PM) Crystal: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/wilderness.htm#aquaticTerrain
(11:29:29 PM) Barzini: (I'll abstain since I have the most interest in such a ruling, and also because we are screwed if an enemy gets funky underwater lightning powers.)
(11:30:00 PM) Crystal: (( fire spells require spellcraft checks ))
(11:30:33 PM) Crystal: (( but electric is not mentioned ))
(11:30:54 PM) Barzini: (That is strange and funny. Go go underwater eld blasts go)
(11:31:13 PM) Barzini: (Actually. barz has no spellcraft!)
(11:31:56 PM) Mister_Cavern: Barz and I have quickly hashed something out that should hopefully work and that you'd think I'd have thought about before throwing you all into the sea~
(11:32:13 PM) Crystal: (( electic eels should still be plausible ))
(11:32:43 PM) ***Barzini grins at the captain, "Do you really want to know what happens if I release lightning underwater?"
(11:33:17 PM) Nasturtium: "Actually, first I'd like to know the safe distance. Then I'd like you to go show the snakes while I learn from aforementioned distance."
(11:34:20 PM) Barzini: "Crystal, go do your interrogation, but be sure to clear out if it gets hairy. I'll be on standby."
(11:35:49 PM) ***Barzini and Johnny start swimming out.
(11:35:52 PM) Crystal: What if it gets seaweedy?
(11:36:18 PM) Barzini: "We're pirates! A little seaweed will be good for you."
(11:36:26 PM) Crystal: Oh right
(11:36:44 PM) ***Crystal swims cautiously towards swarm of serpentsharks
(11:36:47 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> *finds a nice clear path for a charge into the teeny tiny baby serpents*
(11:36:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Just make sure to guard your orifaces!"
(11:37:30 PM) ***Barzini gets closer in an indirect fashion. Nin nin nin nin! Whoosh! Nin nin nin!
(11:38:28 PM) Mister_Cavern: The general wall of snakes doesn't seem to pay any attention, however the leader - I'll call a spade a spade, it's a Naga - the Naga looks up at Crystal and gives a horrifying laugh. "OHOHOHOHOHOHO! What brings such a silly little intruder to the domain of the great Serpent the Naga?"
(11:39:08 PM) Crystal: "Oh, you're really a serpent! That's a relief. I was afraid you were an aquatic landshark"
(11:39:21 PM) ***Barzini mumbles to himself about Flonne's influence on Netherworld marching tactics, silent bubbles rising to the surface.
(11:40:22 PM) Mister_Cavern: "No, there are no sharks around here, not this close to the bar. They can't stand alcohol. So if it's sharks you want, you need to go elsewhere."
(11:41:26 PM) Crystal: "That's a even bigger relief. Because if there are sharks around here I'd have to kill them - I mean aside from Johnny, he's cool, but the other sharks are gonna eat my father
(11:42:03 PM) Crystal: "which is a really bad idea as he's old and wooden, but you know sharks and their unrefined palettes"
(11:42:10 PM) Nasturtium: (little does she know that Jimmy kidnapped her father)
(11:42:31 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Jimmy?)
(11:42:37 PM) Crystal: "Or if there aren't any sharks around here, maybe you don't know - but I could tell you about the eating contest"
(11:42:44 PM) Nasturtium: (Barz' cohort)
(11:42:56 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Oh, Johnny)
(11:43:03 PM) Barzini: (That is either a very obscure Double Dragon re-- ok it's not)
(11:43:04 PM) Nasturtium: (er, yeah)
(11:43:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Eating contest? Exactly what are you referring to?"
(11:44:30 PM) Crystal: "You would have expected Johnny to win that, but he was already full before we even started, so we didn't win the exeCUTE axe, wotta disappointment"
(11:44:56 PM) Crystal: "Oh wait, I'm doing this wrong aren't I?"
(11:45:20 PM) Nasturtium: (brb, need to grab dinner for self and cat)
(11:45:38 PM) Mister_Cavern: "...I think you are. Why don't you just leave? Otherwise I may need to set the snakes onto you to give me some peace and quiet."
(11:45:47 PM) Crystal: "I think I was supposed to be the one interrogating you? Where were you on the night of the 24th? Can you produce witnesses to your whereabouts? Are you ready to cut a deal?"
(11:46:21 PM) ***Crystal looks around for a lamp to shine in the nagas face
(11:48:23 PM) Mister_Cavern: No lamp is necessary, as her eyes gleam eerily. "Listen... I suggest that you leave, and never return here." (Will DC 15)
(11:49:00 PM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+10
(11:49:01 PM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+10 : (13) 23
(11:49:15 PM) Mister_Cavern: You shrug the effects off completely
(11:49:36 PM) ***Barzini watches from a distance, noticing the glowing eyes but also noticing there don't seem to be weapons drawn or explosions yet.
(11:50:06 PM) Crystal: So are you like one of the beasties opposing our mandatory aquatic fetch quest? Or do you just live here?
(11:55:23 PM) Crystal: Because I thought it was traditionally rats in the sewers and goblins on the road for fetch quests
(11:55:27 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Well you see... this is our area. We live here. And now that there is booze, that is ours too."
(11:55:55 PM) Crystal: Oh, I see
(11:56:25 PM) Crystal: So that's booze in the barrel?
(11:58:00 PM) Crystal: Don't suppose you'd be amenable to some sort of trade?
(11:58:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: "No, no booze in there. It's just there so people know you get alcohol here."
(11:58:10 PM) Mister_Cavern: Her eyes narrow. "A trade, you say?"
(2/15/2012 12:00:35 AM) Crystal: Yes. An exchange of goods or services for other goods or services of approximately equal value?
(12:02:19 AM) Mister_Cavern: "What do you have to trade then? I would be amenable to such a thing."
(12:02:43 AM) ***Crystal thinks real hard
(12:03:46 AM) Barzini: <Johnny> *chomps down on a passing fish*
(12:04:18 AM) Crystal: Well you see, you've made it clear that you'd rather I left
(12:04:31 AM) Crystal: And I'm only here because of this silly fetch quest
(12:04:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: The naga sighs. "You're just wasting my time. Snakes, just kill her."
(12:05:01 AM) Crystal: And well I have these boots that would look great on you
(12:05:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is a great hissing, and the wall of reptiles starts to move closer, all blue-grey on the top with yellow bellies.
(12:06:15 AM) Barzini: "Showtime."

(12:10:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: So Barzini gets to act.
(12:11:02 AM) Barzini: (Distance to serps?)
(12:11:31 AM) Nasturtium: she's moving back as Barz preps the barbie
(12:12:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Well you had time to get the distance right, so you could basically put them at the edge of the effect so it doesn't reach Crystal, if that was your plan)
(12:13:09 AM) ***Crystal has a pretty decent reflex save too
(12:13:37 AM) ***Barzini swims in close and casts Chain Lightning, which feels all tingly as it arcs out pretty much everywhere. Closeup shot of the glowy eyes and pointy teeth goes here.

(12:16:31 AM) Mister_Cavern: And swarms take double damage from AoE effects, right?
(12:16:41 AM) Nasturtium: I believe so
(12:16:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: So they find the situation quite...
(12:16:56 AM) ***Mister_Cavern sunglasses.gif

(12:17:58 AM) Nasturtium: "Nice cooking Barz."
(12:18:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: (That's enough for the kill anyway - they have 27 HP each, so any increase beyond +1 is enough to take them to 0 at least)
(12:18:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: Even the horrid snake lady takes the full surge of lightning, clenching her teeth as her eyes light up a brilliant blue and her skeleton is briefly visible
(12:18:47 AM) Barzini: "The prinnies are eating well tonight!"
(12:19:32 AM) ***Nasturtium swims closer, "So, Naga, what do you say now?"
(12:19:40 AM) Mister_Cavern: So, now it's Sparkles' turn. There are dead snakes everywhere, you're underwater, and the water Naga is not happy
(12:20:05 AM) Nasturtium: (oh, oops)
(12:20:18 AM) ***Sparkles checks her allies' health status and fires off the Love Shot!

(12:22:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: A giant pink heart surrounds her and explodes into sparkly fragments, very nearly knocking her out cold. She is a bit dazed by it at least, and...

(12:29:11 AM) Mister_Cavern: Hahaha. I assure you she's so dead her grandparents explode.
(12:29:45 AM) Crystal: " I just don't understand why she didn't want the boots"
(12:30:34 AM) Nasturtium: "Well done, Crystal."
(12:31:03 AM) Crystal: I interrogated her too...she had no alibi and there is no booze in that barrel
(12:31:29 AM) Crystal: (( oh and the acronym is "Blade of Bursting Bewitcher's Bubbles: Magic Short sword of Dispelling" ))
(12:31:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: Oh, that's right
(12:32:22 AM) Barzini: "Whaat? No booze in that barrel?"
(12:32:42 AM) Crystal: (( so in the added overkill department she suffers dispelling and also the fort save vs daze from combat style))
(12:32:43 AM) Nasturtium: "Damn. Guess we'll have to continue with the hostile takeover."
(12:33:26 AM) Crystal: The barrel is like a billbouy to let customers know they have booze inside
(12:34:51 AM) ***Sparkles looks around, alarmed. "Where am I now?"
(12:35:48 AM) Nasturtium: "Underwater, Sparkles, sherking your welcoming committee reception duties"
(12:36:39 AM) ***Barzini decides to utilize Johnny's fast swimming abilities to have him go up to the surface and tell the prinnies to bring down the nets if they want to eat tonight.
(12:37:11 AM) Sparkles: "Hm. That explains the snakes. And the using gills."
(12:38:24 AM) Nasturtium: "Yep. Crystal and Barz subbed in for you, though. Shall we continue with taking over yet another business."
(12:38:33 AM) Mister_Cavern: It doesn't take long for prinnies to start swimming down, carrying nets, knives held in their mouths as their eyes gleam with hunger. They're all too quick to start loading the snakes (sushi-naga included) into the nets, ready to haul up.
(12:39:00 AM) Barzini: "This is going to be a great night if we can just get that booze."
(12:40:03 AM) ***Barzini looks through a window (if there is one) into the building the serpents were guarding.
(12:41:01 AM) Mister_Cavern: There are a few windows, yeah. Big gaps in the coral, really. The place seems to have no clientele, but there does appear to be an elasmosaur behind the bar.
(12:42:18 AM) ***Nasturtium swims down, looking for an entrance.
(12:42:57 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is indeed a door. It consists of a few wooden planks hastily nailed together, and attached via some rope loops.
(12:43:40 AM) Crystal: Ohhh, is it a tickle-me-elasmosaur?
(12:43:47 AM) ***Nasturtium leads her crew inside, looking for a receptionist or something
(12:45:19 AM) Mister_Cavern: No receptionist. Just the dinosaur behind the bar... polishing a glass... underwater.
(12:45:31 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Greetings" he says, completely unhindered by the water.
(12:46:07 AM) ***Crystal admires her distorted reflection in he polished glass
(12:46:08 AM) Nasturtium: "Ok, I sorta get tending bar underwater, assuming all your drinks are dense enough, but can you build a campfire underwater?"
(12:46:59 AM) Barzini: "Hi! You're not rattled about all the dead serpents, I see. That's a good thing!"
(12:52:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: "absolutely, no problems here"
(12:52:43 AM) Nasturtium: "What kind of drinks *do* you make, anyway?
(12:52:43 AM) Barzini: "So where's the shipment for The Drink and Drunk?"
(12:52:44 AM) Nasturtium: "
(12:53:08 AM) Barzini: (*thinks of the soda being opened underwater in MSPA*)
(12:55:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh, we don't make any here, it's hauled from the elemental plane of booze. Mostly rum and gin. Some whiskey. Oooh, you're that lot doing the fetch quest, are you? Sure, it's in the cellar."
(12:55:49 AM) Mister_Cavern: He points to a trap door which is half-open, not heavy enough to stay down (underwater) under its own weight
(12:55:50 AM) Nasturtium: "...elemental plane of booze?"
(12:56:13 AM) ***Nasturtium turns to her crew "Crew, when I die, you now know where to bury me."
(12:56:13 AM) Crystal: Why aren't we sailing there right now, cap'n?
(12:56:23 AM) Sparkles: "...I don't remember there being one of those in standard planar cosmology.
(12:56:24 AM) Sparkles: "
(12:56:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I know what you're thinking, alcohol isn't an element, it's a chemical compound mixture thing, but hey, look at the other planes."
(12:56:54 AM) Nasturtium: "No... no... that's not at all what I'm thinking..."
(12:57:12 AM) ***Nasturtium has a distracted look on her face.
(12:57:32 AM) Barzini: "Elemental... plane... of booze... does that mean the rumors are true... of beer elementals!?"
(12:57:32 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> "Don't mind her, I recognize this look. It...may pass."
(12:58:08 AM) Barzini: (Funnily in a game years ago we fought a booze elemental.)
(12:58:26 AM) Crystal: So it would be a para-elemental plane?
(12:58:26 AM) ***Sparkles dives down to get the thing they came here for, since the rest of everybody is distracted
(1:00:24 AM) Mister_Cavern: Sparkles heads down and instantly sees it: A big barrel of alcohol, on a rope. It's lighter than the surrounding water, so tethered to a hook in the floor. Also, there is a scuttling, as part of the coral wall breaks away, a giant worm starting to crawl through.
(1:00:25 AM) ***Nasturtium dives for the cellar looking for the portal
(1:00:47 AM) Mister_Cavern: It also sparkles, reflecting the light in multiple colours.
(1:01:10 AM) ***Barzini peers at the worm.
(1:01:15 AM) Barzini: "This some kind of legendary fish bait?"
(1:01:51 AM) Barzini: "It's... bigger than I thought..."
(1:02:31 AM) Crystal: Barkeep, looks like we need a round of Tequila!
(1:02:43 AM) Nasturtium: "In a really big glass!"
(1:02:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: It's basically a giant bobbit worm. Complete with sharp mouth and the series of spined tentacles.
(1:03:02 AM) Mister_Cavern: When I say giant worm, I do mean ~15' long.
(1:03:18 AM) Sparkles: TENTACLES
(1:03:36 AM) Nasturtium: Spined tentacles
(1:04:05 AM) ***Nasturtium attempts to learn how to cast Evard's Spiked Tendril's of Forced Intrusion
(1:05:17 AM) Sparkles: those are the worst kind
(1:06:24 AM) Barzini: "Yuck. HEY BARKEEP! What is this thing!"
(1:06:46 AM) Mister_Cavern: "What thing? You mean the barrel? It's a device for containing liquids."
(1:07:02 AM) Nasturtium: "No, the giant, spiky, rapey worm!"
(1:07:22 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Didn't think we had any of those. Better squash it then, I reckon."
(1:07:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Interesting fact: carrion crawlers are basically bobbit worms, and yet they are the IP of WotC)
(1:07:57 AM) Nasturtium: "Hm... alright, but what's in it for us?"
(1:08:27 AM) Nasturtium: (note to self, if I want to use carrion crawlers in something, call them giant bobbit worms)
(1:09:27 AM) Barzini: "If that thing gets any closer, it'll be not being violated by the giant spiky rapey worm!!"
(1:09:35 AM) Crystal: (( carrior crawlers also appeared in multiple CRPGs and at least one anime under the name Carrior Crawler before WotC asserted copyright ))
(1:09:35 AM) ***Barzini charges up.
(1:10:08 AM) Mister_Cavern: And indeed it does seem to be snaking forwards, noticing the moving things, which must therefore be edible.

(1:26:57 AM) ***Crystal is done, next
(1:27:54 AM) Barzini: "Because I've been trying to get the hang of using this thing!"
(1:28:55 AM) ***Barzini unleashes a CdG on the worm with the Succubus Tamer. (and I can delay it into part of the next round if need be since I didn't explicitly say I was wielding it.)
(1:29:55 AM) Barzini: !dice 1d6+3 autohit, autocrit x2, DC 10 + damage dealt fort save vs instant kill/KO

(1:30:52 AM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20+8 Fortsies : (3) 11
(1:32:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: The swordslice is good for slicing the worm open, but it's hard to tell if it is still alive... until the Tamer strikes, splitting it in half. If you chop a worm in half, all you have is two pieces of a dead worm.
(1:34:29 AM) Nasturtium: "Woot! Rammy, grab the booze."
(1:34:43 AM) ***Barzini ensnares the tamer around the worm and yanks, then sweatdrops as the whip passes right through it. "This is why I don't use the business end on any of you..."
(1:35:50 AM) Barzini: "Let's. I want to get back to the ship and dry off. That EvilCorp nurse better not be pulling anything funny with Stapler."
(1:38:44 AM) Mister_Cavern: Rammy graps hold of the barrel. "Aye-aye"
(1:38:50 AM) Nasturtium: (how much longer are we gonna go? I know we started late, but I need to get up early tomorrow)
(1:39:20 AM) ***Barzini unhooks the rope, and starts swimming upwards.
(1:39:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Pretty much once you guys surface I'll wrap it up)
(1:39:59 AM) Barzini: (Long enough to finish, I hope. I won't be here next week)
(1:40:19 AM) Nasturtium: (ok, just checking. I just noticed the time)
(1:40:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: Indeed, from there, the barkeep gives a friendly wave, and seems content to let you all wander out with the cargo. As far as he's concerned, his job is done.
(1:41:13 AM) Nasturtium: "Thanks, Elasmo, I'll come back for a drink."
(1:41:19 AM) Barzini: "See you later underwater dinosaur, hope you have other customers than those!"
(1:41:36 AM) Sparkles: "Goodbye and good business!"
(1:42:58 AM) Barzini: "Captain, what are we going to do about EvilCorp? We stole a bunch of their companies and they're acting as if we're their minions now."
(1:43:52 AM) Crystal: We'll just have to steal the rest of their companies
(1:44:30 AM) Barzini: "I like that plan."
(1:44:42 AM) Nasturtium: "Exactly."
(1:44:44 AM) Mister_Cavern: It doesn't take long to swim the 300 yards back, and then up the pipe to the inside of the Drink and Drunk. There, you are greeted by the sexy, sleek, synthetic-humanoid new version of Stapler. "Hello everyone, how was your fetch quest?"
(1:45:23 AM) Nasturtium: "Pretty quick, actually. Water may fuck with one of my guns, but it made Barz' electricity surprisingly effective."
(1:45:43 AM) Barzini: "We're wet. Before I get to happy... you didn't have anything weird installed to your brain by that nurse, right?"
(1:46:11 AM) Barzini: (*too)
(1:46:51 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Not that I'm aware, but I probably wouldn't know if she did, right?"
(1:47:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: Meanwhile, Kuniko and Hobbes are still out, and being examined more thoroughly. With rubber gloves and tiny cameras on tubes. Also, it appears extra modifications have been made to them without their permission.
(1:47:47 AM) Barzini: "Oh.. well... whatever, I'll deal with that when the time comes. Tonight, the prinnies eat! The ship will sing! And later, I'm gonna benchmark your new hardware."
(1:47:50 AM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 2#1d6 Soda Nose/Pumpkin Head; Snake, Tentacle, Machinegun, Stinger, Tail, Eye Beam
(1:47:50 AM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 2#1d6 Soda Nose/Pumpkin Head; Snake, Tentacle, Machinegun, Stinger, Tail, Eye Beam : 5 2
(1:48:46 AM) Sparkles: Yay wiggly appendages?
(1:48:47 AM) Mister_Cavern: Kuniko now seems to have a sturdy snake tail, scaled and strong, in addition to her legs (all three currently splayed out in a sort of Y shape), while Hobbes has a vinelike tentacle that is sort of glow-in-the-dark.
(1:49:12 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh! You guys are back! I'm just... uh... data... um..."
(1:49:15 AM) Barzini: (...actually Hobbes's unneeded surgery is kind of cool)
(1:49:16 AM) Nasturtium: "Damnit, I don't want radioactive crewmen!"
(1:49:31 AM) Sparkles: "Might be bioluminescent."
(1:49:42 AM) Sparkles: "Also... I've been radioactive pretty much this entire time, Captain."
(1:49:47 AM) Crystal: I thought you were pro-tentacle
(1:49:55 AM) Mister_Cavern: "It's not radioactive, well technically everyone is I suppose, but not in the nuclear death kind of way."
(1:50:14 AM) Nasturtium: (glow in the dark stuff kicks off electrons, which basically means it's relatively harmless radioactivity)
(1:50:35 AM) Nasturtium: (my biology teacher was amused when we realised that, no one else in the class seemed to care)
(1:50:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: (PEOPLE are radioactive)
(1:50:52 AM) Nasturtium: (seriously?)
(1:50:55 AM) Barzini: (as are bananas)
(1:51:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Yes. We give out such a low dose though that even being sandwiched between two people 24/7 won't have any effect in your entire life)
(1:51:30 AM) Sparkles: ((All the potassium. Same with brazil nuts.))
(1:51:41 AM) Crystal: (( http://xkcd.com/radiation/ ))
(1:51:44 AM) Barzini: (There is just a vast difference in the radiation in a banana or standing out in the sun versus going near the Fukushima reactor.)
(1:52:17 AM) Nasturtium: (I'm pretty sure being sandwiched between two people 24/7 would have *some* effect)
(1:52:58 AM) Nasturtium: "Anyway, here's your booze. We done?"
(1:53:03 AM) ***Barzini scolds the android nurse and suggests she take Kuniko's tail back off.
(1:53:22 AM) ***Barzini doesn't seem to realize Hobbes's tentacle is new, though.
(1:54:11 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I'm sure she wouldn't mind, it just seemed natural. And I thought - while I'm adding things, and have her here all unconscious and naked, I may as well add a tail for balance, swimming and constriction. But if you insist"
(1:54:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Huh? Oh yeah, just hand it to the barkeep, and that's your fetch quest officially complete, that'll keep the unions happy."
(1:54:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: Anyhow, the team is back! Everyone is reunited! There are... additions made by the creepy nurse lady. The quest is presumably complete now! So what lies ahead in the future? Will they get to save Crystal's marionette dad? I guess we'll find out in the next exciting episode of Tengen Toppa Friendship Punch!
(1:55:19 AM) ***Nasturtium hands booze to bartender, along with bill for the booze already on the way
(1:55:38 AM) Nasturtium: (alright guys, my light weight liver and I are headed to bed.)
(1:56:04 AM) Barzini: "Kuniko unconscious and nak... bah do whatever, I'm soggy and Stapler's new hardware will require a lot of benchmarking!"
(1:56:35 AM) Crystal: Well, she did so enjoy her last body modification
(1:56:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: Night Prak
(1:57:00 AM) Nasturtium: night all

(1:57:45 AM) rabid_schnauzer: where you off to?
(1:57:47 AM) Koumei: have fun in the meantime, Iori
(1:57:50 AM) Quantumboost: Okay, so next week, should have a revised, not-completely-batshit-insane WM class prototyped
(1:58:01 AM) Iori: Gonna be out of town.
(1:58:58 AM) rabid_schnauzer: well if ever there was a game for batshit insane, this is it
(1:59:21 AM) Quantumboost: yes, which is why I've gotten away with it for so long XD
(1:59:27 AM) Iori: And thus I thought it better to complete the quest tonight. And all these rulings in favor of awesome made it an even better evening to be playing.
(2:00:18 AM) Iori: If we get underwater enemies with electricity, I'll be immune, but the non-immunes will be screwed.
(2:01:51 AM) Iori: And then at the ding I'll be hitting up Dark Assembly for ascension, which will lead to I dunno what.
(2:02:11 AM) Iori: (Well I do, just not the specifics of how the spheres will go. I am vaguely aware I will have less sphere access and that's about it)
(10:50:19 PM) Prak is now known as Nasturtium
(10:52:07 PM) Nasturtium: (may be a bit distracted tonight, I'm talking to one of the few available, attractive females I've met in my major on facebook)
(10:53:00 PM) rabid_schnauzer: shoulda majored in ballroom dancing
(10:53:33 PM) GX [GX@Nightstar-47529af1.dsl.look.ca] entered the room.
(10:53:47 PM) Nasturtium: while I'm surprisingly graceful and flexible for my size, that'd be a bit like a panda majoring in such
(10:54:50 PM) Koumei: Heh, fair enough. I didn't do anything on Valentine's Day - I celebrated the previous day with my gf as it was our 7 year anniversary.
(10:55:10 PM) Koumei: Had I the money I'd have ordered her green tea kitkats from Jlist
(10:56:21 PM) Nasturtium: how much are those?
(11:01:01 PM) rabid_schnauzer: so we are on then?
(11:01:07 PM) You are now known as Crystal

(11:06:10 PM) Nasturtium: (sorry about that, chrome crashed)
(11:07:08 PM) Crystal: (you missed nothing)
(11:07:15 PM) Mister_Cavern: When we last left off, the party, now with gills (some, at least), dived into the ocean, on a quest... for BEER. Making their way from the Drink & Drunk, they are now headed towards the Adrinken unt Adrunken, but who knows what lies ahead?
(11:07:47 PM) ***Crystal calls dibs on whatever it is
(11:09:15 PM) Mister_Cavern: There is a pipe or tunnel that goes down fifty odd feet, before opening out into the pleasantly warm ocean. The sand is vaguely visible below, and tall, leafy things waver about unmenacingly.
(11:09:23 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey! I'm the captain, first share is mine."
(11:09:27 PM) Mister_Cavern: Rover checks.
(11:09:31 PM) Mister_Cavern: Or Spot if you prefer

(11:15:51 PM) Barzini: Received CTCP 'PING 1329279361' (to #arbitrarystring) from Barzini
(11:15:55 PM) Mister_Cavern: Only Barzini can see it off in the distance - but he can see it remarkably well. Carved out of coral, about three hundred yards away, is an actual building. With a barrel tied to it, bobbing about. Of course, there are things swimming around it, too. Long, icky looking serpents
(11:16:21 PM) Nasturtium: (can the rest of us see the serpents?)
(11:17:16 PM) Barzini: "Johnny, I think we're about to find out if you really are the toughest."
(11:17:17 PM) ***Crystal fails to see the sea serpents by the seashore five times fast
(11:17:58 PM) Barzini: "Serpents guarding this place tightly. I wonder what's in the barrel?"
(11:18:42 PM) Crystal: Isn't it obvious?
(11:18:54 PM) Crystal: This is the underwater fetch quest
(11:19:05 PM) Crystal: So it's got to be a barrel of SEA monkies!
(11:19:35 PM) Nasturtium: "or booze."
(11:19:51 PM) Barzini: "They'd better have more than one barrel of booze for us!"
(11:20:05 PM) Nasturtium: "Is it at least a big barrel?"
(11:20:29 PM) Barzini: "Pretty big. Got a plan, captain?"
(11:20:45 PM) Mister_Cavern: Only Barzini can see the serpents, until he points them out.
(11:21:00 PM) ***Barzini indicates the long toothy security.
(11:21:24 PM) Nasturtium: "...cut the rope and swim really fast?"
(11:21:53 PM) Mister_Cavern: There really is a massive swarm of them, all in one curling wall, but they even appear to have leaders. One particularly long snake, with a hideous human head, seaweed for hair.
(11:22:18 PM) Barzini: "Johnny's the fastest swimmer we've got."
(11:22:22 PM) Nasturtium: "learn cleric spells as arcane spells from them?"
(11:23:53 PM) Barzini: "We're fish food without a plan... uh, Crystal, weren't you trying to interrogate sharks?"
(11:24:15 PM) Crystal: Sharks? I thought you said these were serpents?
(11:24:28 PM) Barzini: "Sharks, serpents, you get the idea!"
(11:24:40 PM) Barzini: "They're long and blue with the fin and a lot of teeth!"
(11:24:50 PM) Nasturtium: "Sharks are really just aquatic serpents with a few protrusions and more teeth."
(11:25:03 PM) Crystal: So we should wade up and talk to them?
(11:26:11 PM) Barzini: "I don't know if we can beat them all underwater..."
(11:26:40 PM) Nasturtium: "...hey Barz? do you know how water interacts with your lightning fiend powers?"
(11:26:47 PM) Crystal: so are we asking nicely or sneaking past them?
(11:27:13 PM) Mister_Cavern: (You should always grab the Pentagram of Protection before firing the lightning gun underwater!)
(11:27:24 PM) Barzini: (Good question MC. Barz would know due to navy-->pirate experience.)
(11:27:29 PM) Nasturtium: (wha?)
(11:28:06 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Quake reference. Anyway, should we go D&D logic where it works as normal, or physics where it discharges in a large AoE? What do people want as the fixed now-and-forever ruling?)
(11:28:34 PM) Nasturtium: (I'd like the large AoE with some idea of how large
(11:28:36 PM) Nasturtium: )
(11:29:28 PM) Crystal: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/wilderness.htm#aquaticTerrain
(11:29:29 PM) Barzini: (I'll abstain since I have the most interest in such a ruling, and also because we are screwed if an enemy gets funky underwater lightning powers.)
(11:30:00 PM) Crystal: (( fire spells require spellcraft checks ))
(11:30:33 PM) Crystal: (( but electric is not mentioned ))
(11:30:54 PM) Barzini: (That is strange and funny. Go go underwater eld blasts go)
(11:31:13 PM) Barzini: (Actually. barz has no spellcraft!)
(11:31:56 PM) Mister_Cavern: Barz and I have quickly hashed something out that should hopefully work and that you'd think I'd have thought about before throwing you all into the sea~
(11:32:13 PM) Crystal: (( electic eels should still be plausible ))
(11:32:43 PM) ***Barzini grins at the captain, "Do you really want to know what happens if I release lightning underwater?"
(11:33:17 PM) Nasturtium: "Actually, first I'd like to know the safe distance. Then I'd like you to go show the snakes while I learn from aforementioned distance."
(11:34:20 PM) Barzini: "Crystal, go do your interrogation, but be sure to clear out if it gets hairy. I'll be on standby."
(11:35:49 PM) ***Barzini and Johnny start swimming out.
(11:35:52 PM) Crystal: What if it gets seaweedy?
(11:36:18 PM) Barzini: "We're pirates! A little seaweed will be good for you."
(11:36:26 PM) Crystal: Oh right
(11:36:44 PM) ***Crystal swims cautiously towards swarm of serpentsharks
(11:36:47 PM) Barzini: <Johnny> *finds a nice clear path for a charge into the teeny tiny baby serpents*
(11:36:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Just make sure to guard your orifaces!"
(11:37:30 PM) ***Barzini gets closer in an indirect fashion. Nin nin nin nin! Whoosh! Nin nin nin!
(11:38:28 PM) Mister_Cavern: The general wall of snakes doesn't seem to pay any attention, however the leader - I'll call a spade a spade, it's a Naga - the Naga looks up at Crystal and gives a horrifying laugh. "OHOHOHOHOHOHO! What brings such a silly little intruder to the domain of the great Serpent the Naga?"
(11:39:08 PM) Crystal: "Oh, you're really a serpent! That's a relief. I was afraid you were an aquatic landshark"
(11:39:21 PM) ***Barzini mumbles to himself about Flonne's influence on Netherworld marching tactics, silent bubbles rising to the surface.
(11:40:22 PM) Mister_Cavern: "No, there are no sharks around here, not this close to the bar. They can't stand alcohol. So if it's sharks you want, you need to go elsewhere."
(11:41:26 PM) Crystal: "That's a even bigger relief. Because if there are sharks around here I'd have to kill them - I mean aside from Johnny, he's cool, but the other sharks are gonna eat my father
(11:42:03 PM) Crystal: "which is a really bad idea as he's old and wooden, but you know sharks and their unrefined palettes"
(11:42:10 PM) Nasturtium: (little does she know that Jimmy kidnapped her father)
(11:42:31 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Jimmy?)
(11:42:37 PM) Crystal: "Or if there aren't any sharks around here, maybe you don't know - but I could tell you about the eating contest"
(11:42:44 PM) Nasturtium: (Barz' cohort)
(11:42:56 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Oh, Johnny)
(11:43:03 PM) Barzini: (That is either a very obscure Double Dragon re-- ok it's not)
(11:43:04 PM) Nasturtium: (er, yeah)
(11:43:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Eating contest? Exactly what are you referring to?"
(11:44:30 PM) Crystal: "You would have expected Johnny to win that, but he was already full before we even started, so we didn't win the exeCUTE axe, wotta disappointment"
(11:44:56 PM) Crystal: "Oh wait, I'm doing this wrong aren't I?"
(11:45:20 PM) Nasturtium: (brb, need to grab dinner for self and cat)
(11:45:38 PM) Mister_Cavern: "...I think you are. Why don't you just leave? Otherwise I may need to set the snakes onto you to give me some peace and quiet."
(11:45:47 PM) Crystal: "I think I was supposed to be the one interrogating you? Where were you on the night of the 24th? Can you produce witnesses to your whereabouts? Are you ready to cut a deal?"
(11:46:21 PM) ***Crystal looks around for a lamp to shine in the nagas face
(11:48:23 PM) Mister_Cavern: No lamp is necessary, as her eyes gleam eerily. "Listen... I suggest that you leave, and never return here." (Will DC 15)
(11:49:00 PM) Crystal: !dice 1d20+10
(11:49:01 PM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d20+10 : (13) 23
(11:49:15 PM) Mister_Cavern: You shrug the effects off completely
(11:49:36 PM) ***Barzini watches from a distance, noticing the glowing eyes but also noticing there don't seem to be weapons drawn or explosions yet.
(11:50:06 PM) Crystal: So are you like one of the beasties opposing our mandatory aquatic fetch quest? Or do you just live here?
(11:55:23 PM) Crystal: Because I thought it was traditionally rats in the sewers and goblins on the road for fetch quests
(11:55:27 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Well you see... this is our area. We live here. And now that there is booze, that is ours too."
(11:55:55 PM) Crystal: Oh, I see
(11:56:25 PM) Crystal: So that's booze in the barrel?
(11:58:00 PM) Crystal: Don't suppose you'd be amenable to some sort of trade?
(11:58:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: "No, no booze in there. It's just there so people know you get alcohol here."
(11:58:10 PM) Mister_Cavern: Her eyes narrow. "A trade, you say?"
(2/15/2012 12:00:35 AM) Crystal: Yes. An exchange of goods or services for other goods or services of approximately equal value?
(12:02:19 AM) Mister_Cavern: "What do you have to trade then? I would be amenable to such a thing."
(12:02:43 AM) ***Crystal thinks real hard
(12:03:46 AM) Barzini: <Johnny> *chomps down on a passing fish*
(12:04:18 AM) Crystal: Well you see, you've made it clear that you'd rather I left
(12:04:31 AM) Crystal: And I'm only here because of this silly fetch quest
(12:04:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: The naga sighs. "You're just wasting my time. Snakes, just kill her."
(12:05:01 AM) Crystal: And well I have these boots that would look great on you
(12:05:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is a great hissing, and the wall of reptiles starts to move closer, all blue-grey on the top with yellow bellies.
(12:06:15 AM) Barzini: "Showtime."
(12:07:01 AM) ***Barzini grins a mouth full of pointy teeth as his eyes glow red.

(12:10:43 AM) Mister_Cavern: So, Nasturtium gets a turn if she wishes, but it sounds like she's skipping?
(12:10:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: So Barzini gets to act.
(12:11:02 AM) Barzini: (Distance to serps?)
(12:11:31 AM) Nasturtium: she's moving back as Barz preps the barbie
(12:12:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Well you had time to get the distance right, so you could basically put them at the edge of the effect so it doesn't reach Crystal, if that was your plan)
(12:13:09 AM) ***Crystal has a pretty decent reflex save too
(12:13:37 AM) ***Barzini swims in close and casts Chain Lightning, which feels all tingly as it arcs out pretty much everywhere. Closeup shot of the glowy eyes and pointy teeth goes here.

(12:14:58 AM) Quantumboost [Quantumboos@Nightstar-da347cef.wa.comcast.net] entered the room.
(12:15:10 AM) Quantumboost is now known as Sparkles
(12:15:15 AM) Crystal: (( yay, sparkles!! ))

(12:15:56 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is a massive burst of electricity, surging about 180' outwards from Barzini, electrolysing the salt water and sending a massive shock to everything snakelike

(12:16:31 AM) Mister_Cavern: And swarms take double damage from AoE effects, right?
(12:16:41 AM) Nasturtium: I believe so
(12:16:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: So they find the situation quite...
(12:16:56 AM) ***Mister_Cavern sunglasses.gif
(12:16:58 AM) Mister_Cavern: ...shocking
(12:17:20 AM) Mister_Cavern: More importantly, taking 50 damage apiece, they are flat out killed and roasted.

(12:17:58 AM) Nasturtium: "Nice cooking Barz."
(12:18:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: (That's enough for the kill anyway - they have 27 HP each, so any increase beyond +1 is enough to take them to 0 at least)
(12:18:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: Even the horrid snake lady takes the full surge of lightning, clenching her teeth as her eyes light up a brilliant blue and her skeleton is briefly visible
(12:18:47 AM) Barzini: "The prinnies are eating well tonight!"
(12:19:32 AM) ***Nasturtium swims closer, "So, Naga, what do you say now?"
(12:19:40 AM) Mister_Cavern: So, now it's Sparkles' turn. There are dead snakes everywhere, you're underwater, and the water Naga is not happy
(12:20:05 AM) Nasturtium: (oh, oops)
(12:20:18 AM) ***Sparkles checks her allies' health status and fires off the Love Shot!

(12:22:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: A giant pink heart surrounds her and explodes into sparkly fragments, very nearly knocking her out cold. She is a bit dazed by it at least, and...

(12:29:11 AM) Mister_Cavern: Hahaha. I assure you she's so dead her grandparents explode.
(12:29:45 AM) Crystal: " I just don't understand why she didn't want the boots"
(12:30:34 AM) Nasturtium: "Well done, Crystal."
(12:31:03 AM) Crystal: I interrogated her too...she had no alibi and there is no booze in that barrel
(12:31:29 AM) Crystal: (( oh and the acronym is "Blade of Bursting Bewitcher's Bubbles: Magic Short sword of Dispelling" ))
(12:31:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: Oh, that's right
(12:32:22 AM) Barzini: "Whaat? No booze in that barrel?"
(12:32:42 AM) Crystal: (( so in the added overkill department she suffers dispelling and also the fort save vs daze from combat style))
(12:32:43 AM) Nasturtium: "Damn. Guess we'll have to continue with the hostile takeover."
(12:33:26 AM) Crystal: The barrel is like a billbouy to let customers know they have booze inside
(12:34:51 AM) ***Sparkles looks around, alarmed. "Where am I now?"
(12:35:48 AM) Nasturtium: "Underwater, Sparkles, sherking your welcoming committee reception duties"
(12:36:39 AM) ***Barzini decides to utilize Johnny's fast swimming abilities to have him go up to the surface and tell the prinnies to bring down the nets if they want to eat tonight.
(12:37:11 AM) Sparkles: "Hm. That explains the snakes. And the using gills."
(12:38:24 AM) Nasturtium: "Yep. Crystal and Barz subbed in for you, though. Shall we continue with taking over yet another business."
(12:38:33 AM) Mister_Cavern: It doesn't take long for prinnies to start swimming down, carrying nets, knives held in their mouths as their eyes gleam with hunger. They're all too quick to start loading the snakes (sushi-naga included) into the nets, ready to haul up.
(12:39:00 AM) Barzini: "This is going to be a great night if we can just get that booze."
(12:40:03 AM) ***Barzini looks through a window (if there is one) into the building the serpents were guarding.
(12:41:01 AM) Mister_Cavern: There are a few windows, yeah. Big gaps in the coral, really. The place seems to have no clientele, but there does appear to be an elasmosaur behind the bar.
(12:42:18 AM) ***Nasturtium swims down, looking for an entrance.
(12:42:57 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is indeed a door. It consists of a few wooden planks hastily nailed together, and attached via some rope loops.
(12:43:40 AM) Crystal: Ohhh, is it a tickle-me-elasmosaur?
(12:43:47 AM) ***Nasturtium leads her crew inside, looking for a receptionist or something
(12:45:19 AM) Mister_Cavern: No receptionist. Just the dinosaur behind the bar... polishing a glass... underwater.
(12:45:31 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Greetings" he says, completely unhindered by the water.
(12:46:07 AM) ***Crystal admires her distorted reflection in he polished glass
(12:46:08 AM) Nasturtium: "Ok, I sorta get tending bar underwater, assuming all your drinks are dense enough, but can you build a campfire underwater?"
(12:46:59 AM) Barzini: "Hi! You're not rattled about all the dead serpents, I see. That's a good thing!"
(12:52:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: "absolutely, no problems here"
(12:52:43 AM) Nasturtium: "What kind of drinks *do* you make, anyway?
(12:52:43 AM) Barzini: "So where's the shipment for The Drink and Drunk?"
(12:52:44 AM) Nasturtium: "
(12:53:08 AM) Barzini: (*thinks of the soda being opened underwater in MSPA*)
(12:55:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh, we don't make any here, it's hauled from the elemental plane of booze. Mostly rum and gin. Some whiskey. Oooh, you're that lot doing the fetch quest, are you? Sure, it's in the cellar."
(12:55:49 AM) Mister_Cavern: He points to a trap door which is half-open, not heavy enough to stay down (underwater) under its own weight
(12:55:50 AM) Nasturtium: "...elemental plane of booze?"
(12:56:13 AM) ***Nasturtium turns to her crew "Crew, when I die, you now know where to bury me."
(12:56:13 AM) Crystal: Why aren't we sailing there right now, cap'n?
(12:56:23 AM) Sparkles: "...I don't remember there being one of those in standard planar cosmology.
(12:56:24 AM) Sparkles: "
(12:56:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I know what you're thinking, alcohol isn't an element, it's a chemical compound mixture thing, but hey, look at the other planes."
(12:56:54 AM) Nasturtium: "No... no... that's not at all what I'm thinking..."
(12:57:12 AM) ***Nasturtium has a distracted look on her face.
(12:57:32 AM) Barzini: "Elemental... plane... of booze... does that mean the rumors are true... of beer elementals!?"
(12:57:32 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> "Don't mind her, I recognize this look. It...may pass."
(12:58:08 AM) Barzini: (Funnily in a game years ago we fought a booze elemental.)
(12:58:26 AM) Crystal: So it would be a para-elemental plane?
(12:58:26 AM) ***Sparkles dives down to get the thing they came here for, since the rest of everybody is distracted
(1:00:24 AM) Mister_Cavern: Sparkles heads down and instantly sees it: A big barrel of alcohol, on a rope. It's lighter than the surrounding water, so tethered to a hook in the floor. Also, there is a scuttling, as part of the coral wall breaks away, a giant worm starting to crawl through.
(1:00:25 AM) ***Nasturtium dives for the cellar looking for the portal
(1:00:47 AM) Mister_Cavern: It also sparkles, reflecting the light in multiple colours.
(1:01:10 AM) ***Barzini peers at the worm.
(1:01:15 AM) Barzini: "This some kind of legendary fish bait?"
(1:01:51 AM) Barzini: "It's... bigger than I thought..."
(1:02:31 AM) Crystal: Barkeep, looks like we need a round of Tequila!
(1:02:43 AM) Nasturtium: "In a really big glass!"
(1:02:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: It's basically a giant bobbit worm. Complete with sharp mouth and the series of spined tentacles.
(1:03:02 AM) Mister_Cavern: When I say giant worm, I do mean ~15' long.
(1:03:18 AM) Sparkles: TENTACLES
(1:03:36 AM) Nasturtium: Spined tentacles
(1:04:05 AM) ***Nasturtium attempts to learn how to cast Evard's Spiked Tendril's of Forced Intrusion
(1:05:17 AM) Sparkles: those are the worst kind
(1:06:24 AM) Barzini: "Yuck. HEY BARKEEP! What is this thing!"
(1:06:46 AM) Mister_Cavern: "What thing? You mean the barrel? It's a device for containing liquids."
(1:07:02 AM) Nasturtium: "No, the giant, spiky, rapey worm!"
(1:07:22 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Didn't think we had any of those. Better squash it then, I reckon."
(1:07:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Interesting fact: carrion crawlers are basically bobbit worms, and yet they are the IP of WotC)
(1:07:57 AM) Nasturtium: "Hm... alright, but what's in it for us?"
(1:08:27 AM) Nasturtium: (note to self, if I want to use carrion crawlers in something, call them giant bobbit worms)
(1:09:27 AM) Barzini: "If that thing gets any closer, it'll be not being violated by the giant spiky rapey worm!!"
(1:09:35 AM) Crystal: (( carrior crawlers also appeared in multiple CRPGs and at least one anime under the name Carrior Crawler before WotC asserted copyright ))
(1:09:35 AM) ***Barzini charges up.
(1:10:08 AM) Mister_Cavern: And indeed it does seem to be snaking forwards, noticing the moving things, which must therefore be edible.

(1:32:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: The swordslice is good for slicing the worm open, but it's hard to tell if it is still alive... until the Tamer strikes, splitting it in half. If you chop a worm in half, all you have is two pieces of a dead worm.
(1:34:29 AM) Nasturtium: "Woot! Rammy, grab the booze."
(1:34:43 AM) ***Barzini ensnares the tamer around the worm and yanks, then sweatdrops as the whip passes right through it. "This is why I don't use the business end on any of you..."
(1:35:50 AM) Barzini: "Let's. I want to get back to the ship and dry off. That EvilCorp nurse better not be pulling anything funny with Stapler."
(1:38:44 AM) Mister_Cavern: Rammy graps hold of the barrel. "Aye-aye"
(1:38:50 AM) Nasturtium: (how much longer are we gonna go? I know we started late, but I need to get up early tomorrow)
(1:39:20 AM) ***Barzini unhooks the rope, and starts swimming upwards.
(1:39:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Pretty much once you guys surface I'll wrap it up)
(1:39:59 AM) Barzini: (Long enough to finish, I hope. I won't be here next week)
(1:40:19 AM) Nasturtium: (ok, just checking. I just noticed the time)
(1:40:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: Indeed, from there, the barkeep gives a friendly wave, and seems content to let you all wander out with the cargo. As far as he's concerned, his job is done.
(1:41:13 AM) Nasturtium: "Thanks, Elasmo, I'll come back for a drink."
(1:41:19 AM) Barzini: "See you later underwater dinosaur, hope you have other customers than those!"
(1:41:36 AM) Sparkles: "Goodbye and good business!"
(1:42:58 AM) Barzini: "Captain, what are we going to do about EvilCorp? We stole a bunch of their companies and they're acting as if we're their minions now."
(1:43:52 AM) Crystal: We'll just have to steal the rest of their companies
(1:44:30 AM) Barzini: "I like that plan."
(1:44:42 AM) Nasturtium: "Exactly."
(1:44:44 AM) Mister_Cavern: It doesn't take long to swim the 300 yards back, and then up the pipe to the inside of the Drink and Drunk. There, you are greeted by the sexy, sleek, synthetic-humanoid new version of Stapler. "Hello everyone, how was your fetch quest?"
(1:45:23 AM) Nasturtium: "Pretty quick, actually. Water may fuck with one of my guns, but it made Barz' electricity surprisingly effective."
(1:45:43 AM) Barzini: "We're wet. Before I get to happy... you didn't have anything weird installed to your brain by that nurse, right?"
(1:46:11 AM) Barzini: (*too)
(1:46:51 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Not that I'm aware, but I probably wouldn't know if she did, right?"
(1:47:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: Meanwhile, Kuniko and Hobbes are still out, and being examined more thoroughly. With rubber gloves and tiny cameras on tubes. Also, it appears extra modifications have been made to them without their permission.
(1:47:47 AM) Barzini: "Oh.. well... whatever, I'll deal with that when the time comes. Tonight, the prinnies eat! The ship will sing! And later, I'm gonna benchmark your new hardware."
(1:47:50 AM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 2#1d6 Soda Nose/Pumpkin Head; Snake, Tentacle, Machinegun, Stinger, Tail, Eye Beam
(1:47:50 AM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 2#1d6 Soda Nose/Pumpkin Head; Snake, Tentacle, Machinegun, Stinger, Tail, Eye Beam : 5 2
(1:48:46 AM) Sparkles: Yay wiggly appendages?
(1:48:47 AM) Mister_Cavern: Kuniko now seems to have a sturdy snake tail, scaled and strong, in addition to her legs (all three currently splayed out in a sort of Y shape), while Hobbes has a vinelike tentacle that is sort of glow-in-the-dark.
(1:49:12 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Oh! You guys are back! I'm just... uh... data... um..."
(1:49:15 AM) Barzini: (...actually Hobbes's unneeded surgery is kind of cool)
(1:49:16 AM) Nasturtium: "Damnit, I don't want radioactive crewmen!"
(1:49:31 AM) Sparkles: "Might be bioluminescent."
(1:49:42 AM) Sparkles: "Also... I've been radioactive pretty much this entire time, Captain."
(1:49:47 AM) Crystal: I thought you were pro-tentacle
(1:49:55 AM) Mister_Cavern: "It's not radioactive, well technically everyone is I suppose, but not in the nuclear death kind of way."
(1:50:14 AM) Nasturtium: (glow in the dark stuff kicks off electrons, which basically means it's relatively harmless radioactivity)
(1:50:35 AM) Nasturtium: (my biology teacher was amused when we realised that, no one else in the class seemed to care)
(1:50:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: (PEOPLE are radioactive)
(1:50:52 AM) Nasturtium: (seriously?)
(1:50:55 AM) Barzini: (as are bananas)
(1:51:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Yes. We give out such a low dose though that even being sandwiched between two people 24/7 won't have any effect in your entire life)
(1:51:30 AM) Sparkles: ((All the potassium. Same with brazil nuts.))
(1:51:41 AM) Crystal: (( http://xkcd.com/radiation/ ))
(1:51:44 AM) Barzini: (There is just a vast difference in the radiation in a banana or standing out in the sun versus going near the Fukushima reactor.)
(1:52:17 AM) Nasturtium: (I'm pretty sure being sandwiched between two people 24/7 would have *some* effect)
(1:52:58 AM) Nasturtium: "Anyway, here's your booze. We done?"
(1:53:03 AM) ***Barzini scolds the android nurse and suggests she take Kuniko's tail back off.
(1:53:22 AM) ***Barzini doesn't seem to realize Hobbes's tentacle is new, though.
(1:54:11 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I'm sure she wouldn't mind, it just seemed natural. And I thought - while I'm adding things, and have her here all unconscious and naked, I may as well add a tail for balance, swimming and constriction. But if you insist"
(1:54:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Huh? Oh yeah, just hand it to the barkeep, and that's your fetch quest officially complete, that'll keep the unions happy."
(1:54:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: Anyhow, the team is back! Everyone is reunited! There are... additions made by the creepy nurse lady. The quest is presumably complete now! So what lies ahead in the future? Will they get to save Crystal's marionette dad? I guess we'll find out in the next exciting episode of Tengen Toppa Friendship Punch!
(1:55:19 AM) ***Nasturtium hands booze to bartender, along with bill for the booze already on the way
(1:55:38 AM) Nasturtium: (alright guys, my light weight liver and I are headed to bed.)
(1:56:04 AM) Barzini: "Kuniko unconscious and nak... bah do whatever, I'm soggy and Stapler's new hardware will require a lot of benchmarking!"
(1:56:35 AM) Crystal: Well, she did so enjoy her last body modification
(1:56:48 AM) Mister_Cavern: Night Prak
(1:57:00 AM) Nasturtium: night all
(1:57:04 AM) Barzini: ('night.)
(1:57:07 AM) Sparkles: Night Prak
(1:57:09 AM) Sparkles is now known as Quantumboost
(1:57:10 AM) Barzini is now known as Iori
(1:57:10 AM) Mister_Cavern is now known as Koumei
(1:57:15 AM) Nasturtium: there should be a post in our other thing waiting for you, Kou.
(1:57:21 AM) Koumei: yep
(1:57:23 AM) Nasturtium left the room (quit: Connection reset by peer).
(1:57:36 AM) You are now known as rabid_schnauzer
(1:57:37 AM) Iori: I'll see all y'alls on the 28th.
(1:57:45 AM) rabid_schnauzer: where you off to?
(1:57:47 AM) Koumei: have fun in the meantime, Iori
(1:57:50 AM) Quantumboost: Okay, so next week, should have a revised, not-completely-batshit-insane WM class prototyped
(1:58:01 AM) Iori: Gonna be out of town.
(1:58:58 AM) rabid_schnauzer: well if ever there was a game for batshit insane, this is it

(1:59:21 AM) Quantumboost: yes, which is why I've gotten away with it for so long XD
(1:59:27 AM) Iori: And thus I thought it better to complete the quest tonight. And all these rulings in favor of awesome made it an even better evening to be playing.
(2:00:18 AM) Iori: If we get underwater enemies with electricity, I'll be immune, but the non-immunes will be screwed.
(2:01:51 AM) Iori: And then at the ding I'll be hitting up Dark Assembly for ascension, which will lead to I dunno what.
(2:02:11 AM) Iori: (Well I do, just not the specifics of how the spheres will go. I am vaguely aware I will have less sphere access and that's about it)
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

Coming Soon Future build plans and proto-math to make potential future levelups quicker (plans subject to change based on game events and whims) :
- Level 10: All enhancement bonuses scale to +4. Hero!1 adds +d10 HD, +1 BAB, +1 to Fort and Ref, 4+int Skillz and Signature style to increase threat range of Style weapons by Cha bonus -- which will mean 11+ threat range on swords, 12+ on Slam and gain +3 dodge to AC after swording and auto-Edge against any higher CR opponents.
- Level 11: Hero! 2 provides+d10 HD, +1 BAB, +1 to Fort and Ref, skillz, Signature move lets her trade fatigue for chance to stagger no-save target as well as bonus [Combat Feat] or +1 to armored in life and a new monk style (which might just be adding Con damage to weapon attacks)
- Level 12: New Feat TBD. +1 Cha, Hero! 3 provides +d10 HD, +1 BAB, +1 Will, Mad skills yo! and Most Useful providing +5 aardvark bonuses to crank Cha bonus to +11, for increased doubled melee damage and crit range and raises all other numbers somewhat less. Also base speed doubles (on top of ninja +50%), so walk of 90 + 30' Style + 15 Skate or Fly of 180' (average) + 30' Style

[13:59] <Mister_Cavern> So when last we left off, the team had finished the mandatory booze fetch quest
[13:59] <Crystal> mmmm mandatory booze
[14:00] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((will they be able to get the booze to the destination without drinking it? TIME WILL TELL))
[14:00] <Nasturtium> ((we already did))
[14:00] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((orite))
[14:01] <Kuniko> "...did something happen while I was away?"
[14:01] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles glances at Kuniko's new tail
[14:01] <Nasturtium> "Massive. Orgy."
[14:01] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Not much."
[14:01] <Nasturtium> "Oh yeah, and you got some tail."
[14:01] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "...that's our captain all right."
[14:02] <Mister_Cavern> The robogirl giggles. "Your friends had a major success while you were out."
[14:02] * Crystal giggles back
[14:02] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Shouldn't that be "huge success" while we're dealing with creepy robots?))
[14:02] * Kuniko turns to look at the tail, and frowns.
[14:03] <Kuniko> "This better be removable.
[14:03] <Mister_Cavern> "Oh, also I took some blood samples so you can be Rezzed if need be. And took a full scan of all your data."
[14:03] <Nasturtium> "Oh come on, Kuni. Tails are awesome."
[14:03] <Kuniko> "Wings are enough for me."
[14:03] <Kuniko> "And you don't have a tail, do you?"
[14:03] * Nasturtium says aside to the android, "Think I could get some copies of that data?"
[14:03] <Nasturtium> "Nope, I have tendrils
[14:03] <Nasturtium> "
[14:04] <Nasturtium> "They're like tails, but more useful. And flexible."
[14:04] <Mister_Cavern> "Oh, I can remove it, it'll just take an hour." she pouts. She turns to Nasturtium and raises her hand. "Five hundred Hell."
[14:04] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Pretty similar, though."
[14:04] * Crystal flicks her heart-tipped tail around
[14:04] * Nasturtium hands the android 500 hell
[14:05] <Kuniko> "I'd prefer looking at least somewhat human."
[14:05] <Mister_Cavern> She immediately hands a data disc over to Nasturtium
[14:05] * Nasturtium pockets data disc "Why? Human is over rated."
[14:06] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "You do! You have a head, and two arms, and two legs!"
[14:06] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Not anything at all like a giant centipede or an octahedron."
[14:06] <Mister_Cavern> "Okay, well if you want I can inject you with a tranquiliser and remove it with a montage?"
[14:06] <Nasturtium> "You're like a human with bonus prizes!"
[14:06] * Nasturtium gestures with Kuni's boobs as she says bonus prizes
[14:07] <Crystal> You DO seem to be enjoying your previous upgrades
[14:07] * Crystal says with just a hint of jealousy
[14:07] <Kuniko> "...which ones might you refer to, Crystal?"
[14:08] * Nasturtium gestures with Kuni's boobs again
[14:08] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((*with* her boobs? O_o))
[14:08] <Kuniko> ( Holding them up, I bet )
[14:08] <Nasturtium> ((yep))
[14:08] <Kuniko> ( With her hands )
[14:08] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((most pro))
[14:09] * Kuniko is blushing as she realizes she's being touched. "These things catch attention, but I'd be fine if they weren't so big. But a tail is still worse!!"
[14:09] <Crystal> How so?
[14:09] <Mister_Cavern> "Okay then." And with that she jabs Kuniko with her giant syringe
[14:09] <Kuniko> ...!!
[14:09] <Kuniko> ( Insta-KO or ? )
[14:10] * Nasturtium jumps out of the way "hey! watch where you're sticking that! ...and stick something down here, if you must... just under the tendrils"
[14:10] <Kuniko> "Barzini won't stop talking about these damned things, that's how..."
[14:10] <Mister_Cavern> If you like we can do the attack roll and Fort Save, or you can elect to be knocked out
[14:11] <Mister_Cavern> There is no other effect for the record.
[14:11] * Kuniko falls over after mumbling on about something, out cold for now.
[14:11] <Crystal> So a tail would give him something else to talk about
[14:12] <Mister_Cavern> And so, there is a montage where the android (for some reason) takes all of Kuniko's clothes off, then drapes her over the bench, ass up, and removes the tail, using magic healing salve so that there is not a single scar left over.
[14:12] * Nasturtium takes copious pictures
[14:12] <Mister_Cavern> After some time, Kuniko wakes up, all better... and still naked and draped over the bench, ass up.
[14:13] <Kuniko> "...what the...?"
[14:13] * Nasturtium quickly hides the camera
[14:13] <Mister_Cavern> "All better, Kuniko! Your tail is gone!"
[14:13] <Nasturtium> "Oh come on, what'd you expect in this game?"
[14:14] * Kuniko soon moves over to a less revealing pose, though she noticed Nasturtium and a glimpse of the camera. "...right."
[14:14] <Kuniko> ( She could have guessed a camera was involved anyway. :U )
[14:14] <Mister_Cavern> "I assure you, I had to take your pants off because the tail was connected to the base of your spine." She does not mention the bit where she also removed Kuni's top.
[14:15] * Kuniko suddenly feels panicked. "Hey, where the hell are my clothes?!" And the others notice some nasty scars on her arms, which her sleeves usually hide.
[14:15] <Mister_Cavern> "And don'
[14:15] * Nasturtium raises an eyebrow
[14:15] <Mister_Cavern> t worry, your clothes are just on the bed over there."
[14:15] * Kuniko rushes over to get her clothes back on, not even paying attention to anything else until fully clothed.
[14:16] <Nasturtium> "Fair's fair, Kuni, I'll split the profits with you."
[14:16] <Kuniko> "...wait, how did I get a tail in the first place?"
[14:16] <Mister_Cavern> "And also don't worry about me keeping this in-depth combat data. It's just so the boss can know your capabilities."
[14:16] <Kuniko> "And what profits?"
[14:17] <Nasturtium> "Huh? oh, nevermind."
[14:17] <Mister_Cavern> "You were out cold while the others were adventuring, you reacted pretty strongly to the meds when I gave you gills. So I thought 'while you're there' and..."
[14:17] <Kuniko> "You said you'd split it, so I want my share."
[14:17] <Nasturtium> "You really should have kept the tail, it's an extra attack."
[14:18] <Mister_Cavern> "Besides, Hobbes has a tentacle that can inject sticky goo and infect people with Skumitis! Be thankful I didn't go with the original plan of replacing your whole lower body - even the good bits - with a road roller!"
[14:18] <Kuniko> "...why the hell would you have done that? I wouldn't fit the image of a goddess that way!!"
[14:18] <Nasturtium> "No replacing my crew's good bits!"
[14:19] <Kuniko> "And I wonder how much you'd like it if YOU were the one being modified."
[14:19] <Nasturtium> "Well as long as none of my good bits were replaced..."
[14:19] <Mister_Cavern> "It would have improved your combat ability, letting you crush people. And..." Her own tentacle and machinegun rotate a bit, and her serpent fangs flick out. "...I totally have been modified."
[14:20] * Kuniko feels slightly creeped out by the droid's reply, and gives a slight laugh at the captain's comment. "Never remove the good parts, huh?"
[14:20] * Nasturtium looks the android up and down. "...how modified?"
[14:22] <Mister_Cavern> "Well I have serpent fangs with synthetic envenomator glands, the M4-Ultra G machine gun, the Alpha-Beta LetheCorp. Tentacle with goo-dispenser, and my happy cloak friend here has a snake added to him!"
[14:23] <Nasturtium> "I would like to examine your goo dispensing tentacle."
[14:24] * Crystal giggles again
[14:24] <Kuniko> "...in retrospect, I'm glad boobs aren't really the captain's thing."
[14:24] * Nasturtium laughs hysterically at that
[14:25] <Mister_Cavern> "Be careful, the goo infects people with Skumitis"
[14:26] <Kuniko> "What is Skumitis?"
[14:26] <Nasturtium> "What about plants"
[14:26] <Mister_Cavern> "You become [Aquatic] and lose the ability to breathe air the normal way."
[14:26] <Mister_Cavern> "Basically it's part of how Aboleths control people."
[14:27] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "I really need to figure out how to not need to breathe...
[14:27] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ""
[14:28] <Nasturtium> "Become undead?"
[14:28] <Kuniko> "Oh, I see..."
[14:28] <Mister_Cavern> "...I'm trying to imagine a shiny sparkly undead. Other than a ghost I mean."
[14:28] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Somehow I think my soul being a conduit to the positive energy plane would make that a bad idea."
[14:28] <Nasturtium> "so long as it's not a vamprie, that'd be kind of awesome."
[14:29] <Crystal> Well there are those sparkly vampires...
[14:29] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "And fuck Deathless."
[14:29] <Nasturtium> "yes, fuck them."
[14:30] <Kuniko> "The what?"
[14:30] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Positive energy undead. Pretty much immune to turning. Makes me angry."
[14:30] <Kuniko> "Why not just become gods? They definitely don't need to breathe. And...that sounds odd..."
[14:30] <Mister_Cavern> "Oh! There's a land somewhere that has good liches! They can even project astrally to protect people's dreams, and can animate the dead at will despite that apparently being evil, and are immune to turning!"
[14:31] <Nasturtium> "Yeah, but they're proper undead, not deathless."
[14:31] <Mister_Cavern> (Thank you Monsters of Forgotten Realms)
[14:31] <Nasturtium> (yep. Curst is pretty awesome too)
[14:32] <Kuniko> ( Yes )
[14:36] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Well, looks like we've got our upgrades sorted out - where to now, Captain?"
[14:37] <Mister_Cavern> (Reminder: Crystal's father is still potentially held hostage unless the sharks they beat up were the right sharks)
[14:37] <Nasturtium> "I-...actually don't know. What was supposed to be next? We got the bebilith sac, the corset, hit the sex shop, got beer..."
[14:38] <Crystal> We gotta make sure we killed all the sharks
[14:38] <Crystal> Well other than Johnny
[14:38] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Oh right! Crystal's Dad is in trouble! Or at least kidnapped."
[14:38] <Nasturtium> "Huh? oh, yeah, right."
[14:39] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "It would probably be easier to kidnap your father back than killing all the sharks in the world except Johnny..."
[14:39] <Kuniko> "Who said we had to kill all of them?"
[14:39] <Nasturtium> "Besides, sharks have some awesome uses..."
[14:39] <Kuniko> "And now that I think of it, do we have any good cooks on the ship? Shark fin soup would be good right now."
[14:40] <Crystal> Well I suppose we could just make sure they know he's old and wooden
[14:40] <Nasturtium> "Hey, Johnny, can you speak to other sharks?"
[14:43] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Craft (cooking) is Intelligence-based, right?"
[14:43] <Nasturtium> "Yep. ...and I could have sworn I had it..."
[14:44] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> "Hm... I only have craft drugs."
[14:44] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Are there any good drugs to be made from sharks? <_<"
[14:44] <Mister_Cavern> Johnny splashes up. "YEP!"
[14:44] <Kuniko> "Shark fin powder?"
[14:45] <Nasturtium> "Sex toys?"
[14:45] <Mister_Cavern> (Also, shark fin is pretty bland. Now, eating actual shark can be tasty, but killing a whole shark just for the fin? It's such a fucking waste and incredibly pointless.)
[14:46] <Nasturtium> (It's pretty much just fat, isn't it?)
[14:46] <Kuniko> ( I think so? )
[14:46] <Mister_Cavern> (Note though that I would happily eat whale with grated puffin like Clarkson did, so I'm not exactly a great example of animal activism)
[14:46] <Crystal> (( http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2 ... fisherman/ ))
[14:47] <Nasturtium> (("All flesh must be eaten" ...but treat it humanely, damnit.))
[14:47] <Mister_Cavern> Anyway, what's the plan?
[14:47] <Crystal> Well, the Naga said there were no sharks nearby...so maybe the kidnappers were lying?
[14:48] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Find where Crystal's father is I guess. We have a location, right?))
[14:48] <Nasturtium> "I rub on-I mean... Johnny, can you pass the word around that Crystal's dad is non-ed-..ha, they're sharks, everything's edible to them."
[14:48] <Mister_Cavern> (And in Australia we have delicious creatures that need culling - seriously, in some areas there are just too friggin many kangaroos, which happen to be delicious)
[14:48] <Crystal> We should go to his house and see if they left what-are-those called behind?
[14:49] <Mister_Cavern> ((You have no location other than "back home". Which sort of relies on her memory))
[14:49] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Clues?"
[14:49] <Crystal> Yeah, that's it!
[14:49] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Sounds like a plan. Or at least a thing to do."
[14:50] <Nasturtium> "Do we have a heading, or do we need to find a bard?"
[14:51] * Kuniko listens on, not sure of what to say.
[14:52] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "I could try to set up a Correspondence-Life-Mind-Entropy scan, but I don't think we're using that game system. Bard I guess?"
[14:52] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Crystal, do you remember how to get there from here yet?"
[14:52] * Crystal thinks deeply
[14:53] * Nasturtium sighs "Someone get me a mallat and the biggest tankard you can find. Rammy, lets start trawling bars to look for a bard."
[14:53] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles pulls out her hammer from the appropriate -space, and hands it to Nast
[14:53] <Crystal> Well it was near a big tree
[14:53] <Kuniko> "Isn't it easier to find a Bard just by listening for some magical music? That's all they do, right? Play music all day..."
[14:54] <Nasturtium> "Well, essentially, but you have to go through a lot of minstrels before you find a bard."
[14:55] <Kuniko> "Oh..."
[14:55] <Mister_Cavern> And so, after another montage, you find a bard. Who points you in the right direction after about seven drinks.
[14:56] * Nasturtium looks around, "Nope, I'm not naked in a strange bed, this is no bard."
[14:56] <Kuniko> "...you sure that he wasn't a bard?"
[14:56] <Nasturtium> "Usually a bard has me in bed by now."
[14:57] <Crystal> Maybe he's a futon type?
[14:57] <Nasturtium> "Do they work slower?"
[14:58] <Mister_Cavern> And this means you get to sail along, until you find a small island with a ship parke- I mean docked, and a small house next to a big tree.
[14:58] * Crystal looks around for aquatic landsharks
[14:58] <Nasturtium> "Ok, bard-boy, just st-ha, you have no choice.."
[15:01] * Nasturtium does up her corset coming out of her cabins. "Rammy, leave the boy alone, you'll give him splinters! C'mon, lets look for clues."
[15:02] <Crystal> I thought those only lurked in dark rooms?
[15:02] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "That's something else. Glues, I think."
[15:02] <Nasturtium> "Not that I've ever seen."
[15:03] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles looks around with her INCREDIBLE POWERS OF RUDIMENTARY AWARENESS
[15:03] * Crystal flits off the ship towards the top of the tree
[15:04] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles notices the other ship
[15:05] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Hey, looks like there's somebody else here, maybe we should greet them."
[15:05] <Nasturtium> "Onward!"
[15:05] <Mister_Cavern> There are a few aquatic land sharks swimming about in circles, yes. Even one Aquan Terran aquatic landshark.
[15:05] <Mister_Cavern> But no-one else actually outside
[15:05] <Kuniko> "Greet them in which way?"
[15:05] <Nasturtium> "Hm, that is a good question... violently, or sexily?"
[15:05] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((No Aquan Zerg aquatic landsharks, I hope))
[15:05] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Both?"
[15:05] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Isn't that what we usually do?
[15:06] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "
[15:06] <Nasturtium> "Ah, I can do that. Rammy, get the ramrod."
[15:08] <Kuniko> "The what?"
[15:08] <Mister_Cavern> "You mean that giant wooden cock we looted from the sexwarplace?"
[15:09] <Nasturtium> "No, the iron one, with the huge head!"
[15:09] <Nasturtium> "Shaped like a cannon ramrod, you see"
[15:10] <Kuniko> "...I shouldn't have asked."
[15:11] <Nasturtium> "If you want a demonstration... we could make a lot more money."
[15:12] <Mister_Cavern> Rammy fetches the battering ram/cannon ramrod. "Okay, so we're smashing the door down?"
[15:12] <Kuniko> "I'll pass. Ask Sparkles or Crystal instead."
[15:13] <Nasturtium> "Well, I guess I could do a crew calendar, or something..."
[15:14] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Sounds like a plan to me."
[15:15] <Nasturtium> "Perfect, we'll schedule something, I'll have to talk to Rozen Queen"
[15:18] * Crystal alights atop tree and waits
[15:18] <Nasturtium> "What? Yes! Right! Ship! Let's go take it crew!"
[15:19] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Onward!"
[15:20] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles flies over to the enemy ship and calls out "Hello! We are here to discuss the release of one Crystal's Father! Please stay there and our representatives will be right with you!"
[15:24] <Mister_Cavern> So... you go board the ship? There appears to be nobody there. However the door to the /house/ opens, and a couple of burly human-looking types step out. "Oh, looks like they're here to pay the ransom."
[15:24] <Nasturtium> "Er, yes, something to do with unlawful taking of assets."
[15:24] <Nasturtium> "AssETS, Rammy, I said assETS"
[15:25] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> "Oh, right. But... Ramrod?"
[15:26] <Nasturtium> (...I'm done now.))
[15:28] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "There will definitely be unlawfulness and asset redistribution. Now, regarding the location of the hostage..."
[15:28] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "How do you feel about... friendship?"
[15:31] <Kuniko> "...did you just seriously suggest that?"
[15:32] <Nasturtium> "Of course she did."
[15:33] <Mister_Cavern> "...what do you mean, friendship? Look, we're here for the cash, not friend-making, or we wouldn't be in the thuggery business, would we?"
[15:33] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles fingers her disguise pen and special weapon. "That's unfortunate. Guess we'll have to befriend you the hard way then. LOVE SHOT! SET UP!"
[15:33] <Nasturtium> "Wha? Shot?"
[15:34] * Nasturtium levels her gun at the thug
[15:34] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles transforms into a barrier jacket look-alike, and the Love Shot suddenly looks like a giant staff with cylinder-things hanging off it and a heart-shaped jewel in a golden ring on the business end
[15:35] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Charm Monster gun = <3))
[15:35] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Initiative is yes? :D))
[15:36] <Kuniko> "I guess this is one way of dealing with a problem."
[15:36] <Kuniko> ( Surprise round? =P )
[15:36] <Kuniko> ( They didn't expect that )
[15:37] * Crystal will fly down and add her own charm ability if needed
[15:38] * Nasturtium will apply her own brand of charming, the large caliber kind
[15:40] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles rolls 4 for init
[15:41] * Crystal has a +5 init bonus if relevant
[15:41] <Mister_Cavern> I'm pretty sure they expected it. So, Sparkles gets a 4. What's everyone's modifier so I can roll?
[15:42] <Nasturtium> Nast=+4, Rammy=+3
[15:42] <Kuniko> Init?
[15:42] <Mister_Cavern> Yeah
[15:42] <Kuniko> +4
[15:43] <Mister_Cavern> Crystal 25 Kuniko 21 Nast 17 Rammy 16 Thugs 10 Sparkles 4 go!
[15:44] * Nasturtium fires once with each gun Ninja Round
[15:44] <Mister_Cavern> Okay, attack bonuses?
[15:44] <Nasturtium> +14 each, Scorching Ray is touch
[15:45] <Mister_Cavern> One of them takes a bullet to she chest (6+14 = 20) and the other takes a face full of fire (19+14 = heaps, like, 33)
[15:45] <Nasturtium> 4d6+2 Fire, 3d6+2
[15:47] <Mister_Cavern> 12 and 11 respectively. They both collapse, falling comatose to the ground from their injuries, even as three more rush out to see what's going on, and a few... surprisingly sharklike fellows start to emerge from the ocean! (Sahuagin)
[15:47] <Mister_Cavern> So there are more foes to replace those fools, and it's now Crystal's turn!
[15:47] <Nasturtium> "Oh look guys! There's more for you!"
[15:47] <Crystal> No time for friendship Dr Sparkles!
[15:48] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "There is *always* time for friendship."
[15:48] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Especially the beating-people-up kind."
[15:49] <Crystal> (( how many shark people? ))
[15:49] <Mister_Cavern> (rolling 3d4... 9)
[15:49] <Mister_Cavern> (Yes, if I had more d4 immediately on hand there would be more)
[15:50] * Crystal activates monk style
[15:50] * Crystal dives to meet the invading landsharks swords first
[15:51] * Crystal will be making 2 sword attacks at +14 melee at the lead sharkmen
[15:52] <Crystal> (( cut n paste of attack line: NINJA SWORD +14 melee 1d10+16 slashing plus 1d6+7 cold and B.o.B.B.B +14 melee 1d6+14 slashing plus +1d6+7 cold ))
[15:53] * Crystal yells "I'll kill the sharks, someone try to get inside!"
[15:55] <Mister_Cavern> Okies... 2+14=16 (so barely a hit, yet still a hit) and 19 threat! and 5+14=19 so crits. The first shark is hit just as it makes landfall, for 17 slashing and 10 cold. Two bits of dead, cold shark hit the floor.
[15:56] <Mister_Cavern> The other one, however, is completely gutted and filleted, ready for cooking, at 36 slashing and 20 cold if the static cold bonus multiplies, or 13 if it doesn't
[15:56] <Crystal> (( if it's not dice, it should multiply ))
[15:56] <Mister_Cavern> There are now seven Sahuagin left, and it's Kuniko Time! (No, Dad, no!)
[15:56] <Mister_Cavern> In that case 36 and 20 respectively
[15:57] * Kuniko decides to throw a firebolt at one of the Sahuagin that she can see. (+8 Ranged Touch. )
[15:57] * Crystal is done, intent on killing these aquatic landsharks
[15:58] <Mister_Cavern> 19+8=27 means bam, there's a burst of flame IN THE FACE
[15:58] <Mister_Cavern> I have been rolling well for you guys - not that I'm superstitious about dice, I don't have time for superstition
[15:58] <Kuniko> Heheh
[15:58] <Kuniko> Okay
[15:58] <Kuniko> And damage is...
[15:59] * Crystal ((misses Yuffie and hopes she gets well soon ))
[15:59] <Kuniko> 8d6 + 2
[16:01] <Mister_Cavern> On a minimum roll it's still up! 34 is not minimum. You now have fried flake. There are now six sahuagin left, and three dudes at the door. And it's Nasturtium + Rammy time
[16:02] * Nasturtium fires a shot at each of the door dudes, saving one for any that stay up, and if none do, firing at a sahuagin.
[16:03] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> charges a sahuagin, smacking with staff and channeling shocking grasp
[16:03] <Nasturtium> er... I'm actually not sure how that works...
[16:03] <Nasturtium> But Rammy's melee is +8
[16:04] <Mister_Cavern> Blam blam! Two door guys get hit, for 13 (down) and 14 (down), leaving puffs of smoke and sparks in the air as they slump over.
[16:05] <Mister_Cavern> And... blam! The third guy's chest bursts open for 15 and he also crashes to the ground, so... ouch. Critical Scorch on a sahuagin
[16:05] <Mister_Cavern> Thirty damage blasts it into fried crispy bits, meaning five remain. Rammy charges in...
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> Smack! She hits it in the mouth with her staff, so what's the quarterstaff damage for her?
[16:06] <Nasturtium> three section, 1d8+5
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> Also, what's her hit dice? Because it's that many d6 of electricity.
[16:06] <Nasturtium> shocking grasp 5d6
[16:07] <Mister_Cavern> So 8 face-hitting damage, and 12 electricity. There is a crackle, for a moment you can see its skeleton (rather, its cartilage), and it falls over, smoking a bit. Four remaining.
[16:07] <Nasturtium> "Tsk, if only we had more attacks"
[16:08] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> "I know
[16:08] <Nasturtium> And....
[16:08] * Nasturtium activates monk stance, and allocates Jutsu point to..
[16:08] <Nasturtium> damage rolls
[16:09] <Mister_Cavern> Those four now mean business, two attacking Crystal, and two attacking Rammy, even as what appears to be their boss - four-armed, massive in size (Large) and with a fancy bandana and belt - gazes at them from the enemy ship and leaps into the water, approaching.
[16:10] <Nasturtium> Rammy's AC is 21
[16:10] <Mister_Cavern> So, attacking Crystal, we have 1 charge for 10 (nope) and another, now flanking, for 26 (does that hit?)
[16:11] <Crystal> with monk stance active, AC is 27
[16:11] <Mister_Cavern> hahaha, just missed
[16:12] <Mister_Cavern> For Rammy, we have 24 (hit) and the other slips, slides and looks a bit stupid. She takes 10 nonmagical Piercing damage (before any DR applies), the sharp trident spikes jabbing firmly against her wooden body.
[16:12] <Mister_Cavern> There might be some denting or scratching.
[16:13] <Nasturtium> 4 get through
[16:13] <Mister_Cavern> There is a bit of a scrape, and it matches on the ship.
[16:13] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> "Hey!"
[16:13] <Mister_Cavern> Now, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Sparkles!
[16:14] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles steps to ensure no interruption, double-taps the big boss with the Love Shot, and if Charm doesn't go off fires DIVINE BUSTER
[16:14] <Nasturtium> "Hey! I was gonna shoot him!"
[16:15] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Love Shot is +15/+10, 3d6+3 nonlethal, Will save DC 20 vs. Charm))
[16:16] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((then Swift Action Empowered Searing Light at +15 ranged touch, 4d8 untyped * 1.5))
[16:16] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((can roll if you want, or you can))
[16:17] <Mister_Cavern> Two bursts of brilliant sparkling energy, in the shape of hearts, crash against the boss, bursting into glitter for 24 nonlethal, and 17 on the Will Save, so he lowers his weapons, a wide smile crossing his face.
[16:17] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "You already got to shoot someone, I want a turn. :("
[16:17] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((searing light is no then))
[16:17] <Nasturtium> "Aww... but he was the boss..."
[16:17] <Mister_Cavern> More like he was the Bawss
[16:18] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Hi new friend! Could you call off your minions before we have to hurt anybody too much more, and then tell us where my bestest buddy's father is? Pretty please?"
[16:19] <Mister_Cavern> There are still four left, and it's back to Crystal's turn. Does Crystal wish to let him try to call them off, or continue killing?
[16:19] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((HAY GUYS I JUST CHARMED LADY VOX GG))
[16:19] <Mister_Cavern> (Lady Vox?)
[16:19] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Everquest reference. Big ice dragon.))
[16:20] <Mister_Cavern> (ah)
[16:20] * Crystal Crystal is too intent on killing landsharks to notice charm for a second or two
[16:20] * Crystal uses crazy full attack + silver flash to mow down remaining sharkmen
[16:21] <Crystal> (( Full Attack
[16:21] <Crystal> NINJA SWORD +14/+9 melee 1d10+16 slashing plus 1d6+7 cold and B.o.B.B.B +14/+9 melee 1d6+14 slashing plus +1d6+7 cold and Slam +6 melee 1d8+14 and 1d6+7 cold ))
[16:21] <Mister_Cavern> Okay, so that's... +14/+14/+14/+9/+9/+6 right? Including the Silver Flash
[16:21] <Crystal> ((yup))
[16:24] <Mister_Cavern> Well, kashink-shink, with a Snickersnack she leaves her two attacks dead, then steps 5' closer to Rammy, and hits one to death, misses the next, but her blade moves like the wind and catches it on the backswing for [dead] damage. She has no foes left to slam :(
[16:24] <Crystal> "That's it for the landsharks, get inside while I hold off the four-armed one!!"
[16:24] <Mister_Cavern> Now does anyone want to attack the captain anyway, despite him being charmed?
[16:24] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Not necessary Crystal!"
[16:25] <Crystal> But they could be holding him inside, we gotta get in there fastfastfast!
[16:25] <Nasturtium> "Can I shoot anyway?"
[16:26] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Well there might be someone inside to shoot."
[16:26] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "If you really need your fix."
[16:26] <Nasturtium> "But there's a giant target out here!"
[16:26] <Nasturtium> "Plus, if you promise me a target, and only your dad's inside..."
[16:26] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Not my dad. Crystal's dad."
[16:27] <Nasturtium> "Er, right."
[16:27] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "If he's in there, fine, go ahead and shoot the four-arm guy."
[16:27] <Mister_Cavern> Once slightly under 6 seconds have passed from him being shot - his initiative - the hearts in his eyes burst, he shakes his head, and they narrow, red again. Looks like he has a slippery mind. So with that, he makes a big leap, charging at Crystal. "En Guard, bitch!"
[16:27] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Or just do it. That works too."
[16:27] <Nasturtium> does he enter my threatened range?
[16:28] <Mister_Cavern> Nope, you're further back, Nasturtium.
[16:28] <Nasturtium> damn
[16:28] <Crystal> (( AC is only 23 since she used silver flash instead of monk stance ))
[16:28] <Mister_Cavern> x.x natural 20, so a threat, and 15+30 = 45 to hit.
[16:29] <Kuniko> Ouch.
[16:29] <Crystal> (( see, wouldn't have mattered anyways ))
[16:29] <Nasturtium> damnit
[16:30] <Mister_Cavern> How many HP does Crystal have?
[16:30] <Crystal> 59
[16:30] * Crystal really has to remember to load up on those temp HP before fights one of these days
[16:31] <Mister_Cavern> So 4d6+98 >.< is SHLURK! The trident goes right through her midsection, and he then raises it into the air, the silhouette being most menacing. Slowly, her corpse slides down the pole until it reaches his fists gripping it, though she is allowed a dying speech.
[16:31] <Nasturtium> jesus.
[16:31] <Mister_Cavern> ((Keep in mind, in a world of Cleeeeeriiiiic and REINCARNATIONS!, death is like a battle-long status effect.))
[16:32] <Crystal> Nooooo.......
[16:32] * Nasturtium throws a phoenix down
[16:32] * Kuniko is clearly pissed off as she sees what happened, and throws a firebolt at the sahuagin bastard. (assuming it's my turn now, that is )
[16:33] <Nasturtium> should be
[16:33] <Crystal> Sparkles, he doesn't seem friendly. Cap'n shoot him! Soda Nose, get inside!
[16:33] <Mister_Cavern> Yeah, go for it Kuniko. So +8 to hit... what's your BAB?
[16:33] <Kuniko> "Screw that, I'm killing this one before I go anywhere."
[16:34] <Kuniko> My BAB should be 7
[16:35] <Mister_Cavern> Kuniko shouts, inflamed with VENGEANCE, and hurls a pair of the fiery blasts, but although the first hits, the second is inaccurate due to her rage. Still, it's enough to deal... 24 damage, burning him but not killing him
[16:36] <Nasturtium> "Ahha! My turn!"
[16:36] <Mister_Cavern> So now we have Nasturtles and Rammy
[16:37] * Nasturtium fires everything she's got. Two shots from each gun +14/+9, 4d6+6 fire, 3d6+6
[16:37] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> waits to see if she needs to do anything
[16:39] <Mister_Cavern> Nasturtles is like a gatling gun. Hit, hit, miss, hit, there is a barrage of ammunition! 19, 16, 28 damage! For a total of 63 damage... but the bastard is still standing.
[16:39] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> Charges again with her three section staff and shocking grasp!
[16:41] <Mister_Cavern> CRACK! The third section hits it in the back of the neck, for 10 hittiness and 19 zap. It doesn't die, but thanks to the NL from the love shots, its eyes roll back and it falls face-down into the water, even as the ocean crackles and sparks a bit.
[16:41] <Mister_Cavern> What with him being up to his knees in the water when electrocuted
[16:41] <Nasturtium> "Wow, that one was kinda hard...."
[16:42] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles pops a Gentle Repose on Crystal as soon as she can
[16:42] <Mister_Cavern> Meanwhile, Crystal is in a room, in a quiz show. "What's My Name?" "Okay," the host says, holding up a picture of the captain. "For a thousand Hell... What's My Name?"
[16:43] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Okay, we... *should* be able to get her up with just a Revivify, if we can find someone to cast it."
[16:43] <Nasturtium> "Quick! Does anyone owe us favours!"
[16:43] <Crystal> That's uh...
[16:43] <Crystal> The Cap'n
[16:44] <Crystal> Nastinnitus
[16:45] <Mister_Cavern> BZZZZZZZZZZZZT! "Oh, I'm sorry Crystal, you just lost the game! We would have accepted 'Nasturtium'. So the winner this week is Barzini's girlfriend, that tittydemon!" It appears you're in Hell.
[16:45] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Wait, wait... Crystal's an Outsider right? Dang. Might be harder then."
[16:45] <Mister_Cavern> (You could try CleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicCorp Pty Ltd)
[16:45] <Kuniko> "...tittydemon?"
[16:46] <Mister_Cavern> (You're not there, Kuniko. It's Crystal's private Hell)
[16:46] <Kuniko> ( Oh, okay. Consider that an off-game one then )
[16:46] <Mister_Cavern> (And I was referring to Miss Strawberry or Miss Raspberry, I forget which. But I suppose Kuniko qualifies more in that department, these days)
[16:47] <Kuniko> ( It was Strawberry. By the way, what are the names of those succubi I managed to convince to join me once I got the Executioner? XD )
[16:47] <Mister_Cavern> (Miss Lime and Miss Cherry)
[16:48] <Kuniko> ( I don't mind, though I hate lemons and lime :U )
[16:48] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((So many berries))
[16:49] <Mister_Cavern> So... the team have defeated a deadly foe, and managed to - presumably - rescue Crystal's dad, but at a terrible cost. What will they do to get Crystal back? Find a cleeeeeeeeeriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic? Go to a Netherworld Hospital? Sacrifice her father so that, blood (?) for blood, she is brought back at the cost of his life?
[16:49] <Nasturtium> See if her dad can do anything?
[16:50] <Mister_Cavern> And just how much of Hell can Crystal endure in the meantime? Find out in the next exciting episode of Pretty Soldier Tengen Toppa Lyrical Friendship Punch!
[16:50] <Mister_Cavern> Which for the record is not happening next week, as I will be seeing the dentist
[16:50] *** Mister_Cavern changed nick to Koumei
[16:50] *** Kuniko changed nick to Icyshadow
[16:50] <Icyshadow> Okay then =O
[16:50] <Nasturtium> ah, fun.
[16:50] *** Nasturtium changed nick to Prak
[16:50] *** Crystal changed nick to rabid_schnauzer
[16:50] *** MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles changed nick to Quantumboost
[16:51] <Koumei> So in two weeks' time, you guys get to decide how to deal with the situation.
[16:51] <Quantumboost> I'm happy with the current rate of integrating new series
[16:51] <Quantumboost> i.e. full tilt
[16:51] <Prak> lol
[16:51] <Icyshadow> Well, I'm getting some sleep now
[16:51] <Koumei> Oh also, while you're all here, LEVEL UP
[16:51] <Koumei> You have two weeks to do that, mind
[16:51] <Quantumboost> w00t
[16:51] <Icyshadow> I'll add the numbers later.
[16:51] <Icyshadow> See ya later
[16:52] <Koumei> seeya
[16:52] <Prak> sweet
[16:52] <Quantumboost> now to decide if I want to get a fiend feat or attack-action light spells and full-party death ward
[16:53] <Prak> and I get to decide what class to level up in.
[16:53] <rabid_schnauzer> I'm actually picking up a ninja 1....but the feat choice is tricky
[16:54] <Koumei> Also, if you sacrifice Crystal's dad to bring her back, then that means something terrible happens to one of her parents so she meets that requirement for Hero! Otherwise she'd have to, upon getting revived and finding him all better, actually kill him herself.
[16:55] <Prak> heh
[16:56] <Quantumboost> ...hmmmm.
[16:56] <Prak> damnit, I need to qualify for Pumpkin King
[16:56] <Quantumboost> Well, your friendly neighborhood medical professional (Sparkles) wouldn't bring it up, but...
[16:59] <Quantumboost> Also, I can totally rez Crystal for free! But she'd die again in 9 minutes.
[16:59] <Quantumboost> If only I could Revenance at-will.
[17:00] <Prak> well.... technically she could take a "must have died" PrC
[17:00] <Prak> sadly, those all suck, to my knowledge
[17:00] <rabid_schnauzer> aside from emancipated spawn looping tricks
[17:02] * rabid_schnauzer contemplates the Large Size [fiend] feat
[17:03] <Prak> ugh, I'll think about this later
[17:03] <Prak> see ya guys
[17:03] <rabid_schnauzer> night
[17:03] <Koumei> later
[17:03] *** Prak quit (Connection reset by peer)
[17:04] <Koumei> And I think I might go take the dog for WALKIES!!! and have a shower, then do some cleaning of the house.
[17:04] <Quantumboost> Oh man, I could totally use all my 4th-level slots for Revenance and just keep Gentle Reposing Crystal. We could keep that up for DAYS.
[17:04] <Quantumboost> This is either the best or worst plan.
[17:05] <rabid_schnauzer> might be funny for like one session
[17:06] <rabid_schnauzer> but I think the sacrifice dad plan is the way to go...that way Crystal can feel all bad about double-failing to save him
[17:06] <Quantumboost> heheh yeah
[17:10] *** Icyshadow quit ([NS] Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- Now with extra fish!)
[17:17] <rabid_schnauzer> ooh, hey, the tome rules on reducing natural armor stacking cutting one in half are phrased "if you wear armor"...so armored in life stacks completely with natural armor :)
[17:17] <Quantumboost> *facepalm*
[17:20] <rabid_schnauzer> I also think Crystal comes back Large Sized...but not quite sure why
[17:23] <Quantumboost> oh hey that's right, we get a feat this level
[17:23] <Quantumboost> ...yet another thing to choose
[17:36] <rabid_schnauzer> sadly the only tome feat that boost initiative this level provides bonuses to skills Crystal doesn't use
[17:36] <Koumei> Also if the sacrifice thing happens, it means "Well, that was required". Hell, maybe he agrees to it and is reincarnated as a Prinny for his actions. If she has to kill him to qualify, that means later on getting hunted down by someone with levels in "Your Mum", out for revenge.
[17:37] <Koumei> Now wether that is good or bad is up to you of course
[17:37] <Koumei> IIRC there are only two Tome Initiative boosters (Danger Sense, which also gives Immunity to Rogues, and, if at BAB +11 or +16, Lightning Reflexes)
[17:38] <Koumei> If you want +10 to Init from feats alone (never mind from familiar, Dex, class features and bullshit traits) then you want Pathfailure. I seriously made a Witch or something with like +20 Init at level 6
[17:43] <rabid_schnauzer> going with large size for the stat boosts...and to out bra-size kuniko :p
[17:43] <Koumei> hahaha
[17:45] <rabid_schnauzer> assuming that magic weapons automatically scale up -- as if the dice even matter on her damage
[17:45] <Koumei> Yeah, they do just scale up to make things simpler
[17:57] <rabid_schnauzer> okay, got new attack lines added up, will get to skills and such...stoopid having to get up in like 4 hours
[17:57] <rabid_schnauzer> night
[13:59] <Crystal> mmmm mandatory booze
[14:00] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((will they be able to get the booze to the destination without drinking it? TIME WILL TELL))
[14:00] <Nasturtium> ((we already did))
[14:00] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((orite))
[14:01] <Kuniko> "...did something happen while I was away?"
[14:01] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles glances at Kuniko's new tail
[14:01] <Nasturtium> "Massive. Orgy."
[14:01] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Not much."
[14:01] <Nasturtium> "Oh yeah, and you got some tail."
[14:01] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "...that's our captain all right."
[14:02] <Mister_Cavern> The robogirl giggles. "Your friends had a major success while you were out."
[14:02] * Crystal giggles back
[14:02] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Shouldn't that be "huge success" while we're dealing with creepy robots?))
[14:02] * Kuniko turns to look at the tail, and frowns.
[14:03] <Kuniko> "This better be removable.
[14:03] <Mister_Cavern> "Oh, also I took some blood samples so you can be Rezzed if need be. And took a full scan of all your data."
[14:03] <Nasturtium> "Oh come on, Kuni. Tails are awesome."
[14:03] <Kuniko> "Wings are enough for me."
[14:03] <Kuniko> "And you don't have a tail, do you?"
[14:03] * Nasturtium says aside to the android, "Think I could get some copies of that data?"
[14:03] <Nasturtium> "Nope, I have tendrils
[14:03] <Nasturtium> "
[14:04] <Nasturtium> "They're like tails, but more useful. And flexible."
[14:04] <Mister_Cavern> "Oh, I can remove it, it'll just take an hour." she pouts. She turns to Nasturtium and raises her hand. "Five hundred Hell."
[14:04] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Pretty similar, though."
[14:04] * Crystal flicks her heart-tipped tail around
[14:04] * Nasturtium hands the android 500 hell
[14:05] <Kuniko> "I'd prefer looking at least somewhat human."
[14:05] <Mister_Cavern> She immediately hands a data disc over to Nasturtium
[14:05] * Nasturtium pockets data disc "Why? Human is over rated."
[14:06] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "You do! You have a head, and two arms, and two legs!"
[14:06] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Not anything at all like a giant centipede or an octahedron."
[14:06] <Mister_Cavern> "Okay, well if you want I can inject you with a tranquiliser and remove it with a montage?"
[14:06] <Nasturtium> "You're like a human with bonus prizes!"
[14:06] * Nasturtium gestures with Kuni's boobs as she says bonus prizes
[14:07] <Crystal> You DO seem to be enjoying your previous upgrades
[14:07] * Crystal says with just a hint of jealousy
[14:07] <Kuniko> "...which ones might you refer to, Crystal?"
[14:08] * Nasturtium gestures with Kuni's boobs again
[14:08] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((*with* her boobs? O_o))
[14:08] <Kuniko> ( Holding them up, I bet )
[14:08] <Nasturtium> ((yep))
[14:08] <Kuniko> ( With her hands )
[14:08] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((most pro))
[14:09] * Kuniko is blushing as she realizes she's being touched. "These things catch attention, but I'd be fine if they weren't so big. But a tail is still worse!!"
[14:09] <Crystal> How so?
[14:09] <Mister_Cavern> "Okay then." And with that she jabs Kuniko with her giant syringe
[14:09] <Kuniko> ...!!
[14:09] <Kuniko> ( Insta-KO or ? )
[14:10] * Nasturtium jumps out of the way "hey! watch where you're sticking that! ...and stick something down here, if you must... just under the tendrils"
[14:10] <Kuniko> "Barzini won't stop talking about these damned things, that's how..."
[14:10] <Mister_Cavern> If you like we can do the attack roll and Fort Save, or you can elect to be knocked out
[14:11] <Mister_Cavern> There is no other effect for the record.
[14:11] * Kuniko falls over after mumbling on about something, out cold for now.
[14:11] <Crystal> So a tail would give him something else to talk about
[14:12] <Mister_Cavern> And so, there is a montage where the android (for some reason) takes all of Kuniko's clothes off, then drapes her over the bench, ass up, and removes the tail, using magic healing salve so that there is not a single scar left over.
[14:12] * Nasturtium takes copious pictures
[14:12] <Mister_Cavern> After some time, Kuniko wakes up, all better... and still naked and draped over the bench, ass up.
[14:13] <Kuniko> "...what the...?"
[14:13] * Nasturtium quickly hides the camera
[14:13] <Mister_Cavern> "All better, Kuniko! Your tail is gone!"
[14:13] <Nasturtium> "Oh come on, what'd you expect in this game?"
[14:14] * Kuniko soon moves over to a less revealing pose, though she noticed Nasturtium and a glimpse of the camera. "...right."
[14:14] <Kuniko> ( She could have guessed a camera was involved anyway. :U )
[14:14] <Mister_Cavern> "I assure you, I had to take your pants off because the tail was connected to the base of your spine." She does not mention the bit where she also removed Kuni's top.
[14:15] * Kuniko suddenly feels panicked. "Hey, where the hell are my clothes?!" And the others notice some nasty scars on her arms, which her sleeves usually hide.
[14:15] <Mister_Cavern> "And don'
[14:15] * Nasturtium raises an eyebrow
[14:15] <Mister_Cavern> t worry, your clothes are just on the bed over there."
[14:15] * Kuniko rushes over to get her clothes back on, not even paying attention to anything else until fully clothed.
[14:16] <Nasturtium> "Fair's fair, Kuni, I'll split the profits with you."
[14:16] <Kuniko> "...wait, how did I get a tail in the first place?"
[14:16] <Mister_Cavern> "And also don't worry about me keeping this in-depth combat data. It's just so the boss can know your capabilities."
[14:16] <Kuniko> "And what profits?"
[14:17] <Nasturtium> "Huh? oh, nevermind."
[14:17] <Mister_Cavern> "You were out cold while the others were adventuring, you reacted pretty strongly to the meds when I gave you gills. So I thought 'while you're there' and..."
[14:17] <Kuniko> "You said you'd split it, so I want my share."
[14:17] <Nasturtium> "You really should have kept the tail, it's an extra attack."
[14:18] <Mister_Cavern> "Besides, Hobbes has a tentacle that can inject sticky goo and infect people with Skumitis! Be thankful I didn't go with the original plan of replacing your whole lower body - even the good bits - with a road roller!"
[14:18] <Kuniko> "...why the hell would you have done that? I wouldn't fit the image of a goddess that way!!"
[14:18] <Nasturtium> "No replacing my crew's good bits!"
[14:19] <Kuniko> "And I wonder how much you'd like it if YOU were the one being modified."
[14:19] <Nasturtium> "Well as long as none of my good bits were replaced..."
[14:19] <Mister_Cavern> "It would have improved your combat ability, letting you crush people. And..." Her own tentacle and machinegun rotate a bit, and her serpent fangs flick out. "...I totally have been modified."
[14:20] * Kuniko feels slightly creeped out by the droid's reply, and gives a slight laugh at the captain's comment. "Never remove the good parts, huh?"
[14:20] * Nasturtium looks the android up and down. "...how modified?"
[14:22] <Mister_Cavern> "Well I have serpent fangs with synthetic envenomator glands, the M4-Ultra G machine gun, the Alpha-Beta LetheCorp. Tentacle with goo-dispenser, and my happy cloak friend here has a snake added to him!"
[14:23] <Nasturtium> "I would like to examine your goo dispensing tentacle."
[14:24] * Crystal giggles again
[14:24] <Kuniko> "...in retrospect, I'm glad boobs aren't really the captain's thing."
[14:24] * Nasturtium laughs hysterically at that
[14:25] <Mister_Cavern> "Be careful, the goo infects people with Skumitis"
[14:26] <Kuniko> "What is Skumitis?"
[14:26] <Nasturtium> "What about plants"
[14:26] <Mister_Cavern> "You become [Aquatic] and lose the ability to breathe air the normal way."
[14:26] <Mister_Cavern> "Basically it's part of how Aboleths control people."
[14:27] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "I really need to figure out how to not need to breathe...
[14:27] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ""
[14:28] <Nasturtium> "Become undead?"
[14:28] <Kuniko> "Oh, I see..."
[14:28] <Mister_Cavern> "...I'm trying to imagine a shiny sparkly undead. Other than a ghost I mean."
[14:28] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Somehow I think my soul being a conduit to the positive energy plane would make that a bad idea."
[14:28] <Nasturtium> "so long as it's not a vamprie, that'd be kind of awesome."
[14:29] <Crystal> Well there are those sparkly vampires...
[14:29] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "And fuck Deathless."
[14:29] <Nasturtium> "yes, fuck them."
[14:30] <Kuniko> "The what?"
[14:30] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Positive energy undead. Pretty much immune to turning. Makes me angry."
[14:30] <Kuniko> "Why not just become gods? They definitely don't need to breathe. And...that sounds odd..."
[14:30] <Mister_Cavern> "Oh! There's a land somewhere that has good liches! They can even project astrally to protect people's dreams, and can animate the dead at will despite that apparently being evil, and are immune to turning!"
[14:31] <Nasturtium> "Yeah, but they're proper undead, not deathless."
[14:31] <Mister_Cavern> (Thank you Monsters of Forgotten Realms)
[14:31] <Nasturtium> (yep. Curst is pretty awesome too)
[14:32] <Kuniko> ( Yes )
[14:36] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Well, looks like we've got our upgrades sorted out - where to now, Captain?"
[14:37] <Mister_Cavern> (Reminder: Crystal's father is still potentially held hostage unless the sharks they beat up were the right sharks)
[14:37] <Nasturtium> "I-...actually don't know. What was supposed to be next? We got the bebilith sac, the corset, hit the sex shop, got beer..."
[14:38] <Crystal> We gotta make sure we killed all the sharks
[14:38] <Crystal> Well other than Johnny
[14:38] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Oh right! Crystal's Dad is in trouble! Or at least kidnapped."
[14:38] <Nasturtium> "Huh? oh, yeah, right."
[14:39] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "It would probably be easier to kidnap your father back than killing all the sharks in the world except Johnny..."
[14:39] <Kuniko> "Who said we had to kill all of them?"
[14:39] <Nasturtium> "Besides, sharks have some awesome uses..."
[14:39] <Kuniko> "And now that I think of it, do we have any good cooks on the ship? Shark fin soup would be good right now."
[14:40] <Crystal> Well I suppose we could just make sure they know he's old and wooden
[14:40] <Nasturtium> "Hey, Johnny, can you speak to other sharks?"
[14:43] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Craft (cooking) is Intelligence-based, right?"
[14:43] <Nasturtium> "Yep. ...and I could have sworn I had it..."
[14:44] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> "Hm... I only have craft drugs."
[14:44] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Are there any good drugs to be made from sharks? <_<"
[14:44] <Mister_Cavern> Johnny splashes up. "YEP!"
[14:44] <Kuniko> "Shark fin powder?"
[14:45] <Nasturtium> "Sex toys?"
[14:45] <Mister_Cavern> (Also, shark fin is pretty bland. Now, eating actual shark can be tasty, but killing a whole shark just for the fin? It's such a fucking waste and incredibly pointless.)
[14:46] <Nasturtium> (It's pretty much just fat, isn't it?)
[14:46] <Kuniko> ( I think so? )
[14:46] <Mister_Cavern> (Note though that I would happily eat whale with grated puffin like Clarkson did, so I'm not exactly a great example of animal activism)
[14:46] <Crystal> (( http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2 ... fisherman/ ))
[14:47] <Nasturtium> (("All flesh must be eaten" ...but treat it humanely, damnit.))
[14:47] <Mister_Cavern> Anyway, what's the plan?
[14:47] <Crystal> Well, the Naga said there were no sharks nearby...so maybe the kidnappers were lying?
[14:48] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Find where Crystal's father is I guess. We have a location, right?))
[14:48] <Nasturtium> "I rub on-I mean... Johnny, can you pass the word around that Crystal's dad is non-ed-..ha, they're sharks, everything's edible to them."
[14:48] <Mister_Cavern> (And in Australia we have delicious creatures that need culling - seriously, in some areas there are just too friggin many kangaroos, which happen to be delicious)
[14:48] <Crystal> We should go to his house and see if they left what-are-those called behind?
[14:49] <Mister_Cavern> ((You have no location other than "back home". Which sort of relies on her memory))
[14:49] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Clues?"
[14:49] <Crystal> Yeah, that's it!
[14:49] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Sounds like a plan. Or at least a thing to do."
[14:50] <Nasturtium> "Do we have a heading, or do we need to find a bard?"
[14:51] * Kuniko listens on, not sure of what to say.
[14:52] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "I could try to set up a Correspondence-Life-Mind-Entropy scan, but I don't think we're using that game system. Bard I guess?"
[14:52] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Crystal, do you remember how to get there from here yet?"
[14:52] * Crystal thinks deeply
[14:53] * Nasturtium sighs "Someone get me a mallat and the biggest tankard you can find. Rammy, lets start trawling bars to look for a bard."
[14:53] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles pulls out her hammer from the appropriate -space, and hands it to Nast
[14:53] <Crystal> Well it was near a big tree
[14:53] <Kuniko> "Isn't it easier to find a Bard just by listening for some magical music? That's all they do, right? Play music all day..."
[14:54] <Nasturtium> "Well, essentially, but you have to go through a lot of minstrels before you find a bard."
[14:55] <Kuniko> "Oh..."
[14:55] <Mister_Cavern> And so, after another montage, you find a bard. Who points you in the right direction after about seven drinks.
[14:56] * Nasturtium looks around, "Nope, I'm not naked in a strange bed, this is no bard."
[14:56] <Kuniko> "...you sure that he wasn't a bard?"
[14:56] <Nasturtium> "Usually a bard has me in bed by now."
[14:57] <Crystal> Maybe he's a futon type?
[14:57] <Nasturtium> "Do they work slower?"
[14:58] <Mister_Cavern> And this means you get to sail along, until you find a small island with a ship parke- I mean docked, and a small house next to a big tree.
[14:58] * Crystal looks around for aquatic landsharks
[14:58] <Nasturtium> "Ok, bard-boy, just st-ha, you have no choice.."
[15:01] * Nasturtium does up her corset coming out of her cabins. "Rammy, leave the boy alone, you'll give him splinters! C'mon, lets look for clues."
[15:02] <Crystal> I thought those only lurked in dark rooms?
[15:02] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "That's something else. Glues, I think."
[15:02] <Nasturtium> "Not that I've ever seen."
[15:03] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles looks around with her INCREDIBLE POWERS OF RUDIMENTARY AWARENESS
[15:03] * Crystal flits off the ship towards the top of the tree
[15:04] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles notices the other ship
[15:05] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Hey, looks like there's somebody else here, maybe we should greet them."
[15:05] <Nasturtium> "Onward!"
[15:05] <Mister_Cavern> There are a few aquatic land sharks swimming about in circles, yes. Even one Aquan Terran aquatic landshark.
[15:05] <Mister_Cavern> But no-one else actually outside
[15:05] <Kuniko> "Greet them in which way?"
[15:05] <Nasturtium> "Hm, that is a good question... violently, or sexily?"
[15:05] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((No Aquan Zerg aquatic landsharks, I hope))
[15:05] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Both?"
[15:05] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Isn't that what we usually do?
[15:06] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "
[15:06] <Nasturtium> "Ah, I can do that. Rammy, get the ramrod."
[15:08] <Kuniko> "The what?"
[15:08] <Mister_Cavern> "You mean that giant wooden cock we looted from the sexwarplace?"
[15:09] <Nasturtium> "No, the iron one, with the huge head!"
[15:09] <Nasturtium> "Shaped like a cannon ramrod, you see"
[15:10] <Kuniko> "...I shouldn't have asked."
[15:11] <Nasturtium> "If you want a demonstration... we could make a lot more money."
[15:12] <Mister_Cavern> Rammy fetches the battering ram/cannon ramrod. "Okay, so we're smashing the door down?"
[15:12] <Kuniko> "I'll pass. Ask Sparkles or Crystal instead."
[15:13] <Nasturtium> "Well, I guess I could do a crew calendar, or something..."
[15:14] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Sounds like a plan to me."
[15:15] <Nasturtium> "Perfect, we'll schedule something, I'll have to talk to Rozen Queen"
[15:18] * Crystal alights atop tree and waits
[15:18] <Nasturtium> "What? Yes! Right! Ship! Let's go take it crew!"
[15:19] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Onward!"
[15:20] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles flies over to the enemy ship and calls out "Hello! We are here to discuss the release of one Crystal's Father! Please stay there and our representatives will be right with you!"
[15:24] <Mister_Cavern> So... you go board the ship? There appears to be nobody there. However the door to the /house/ opens, and a couple of burly human-looking types step out. "Oh, looks like they're here to pay the ransom."
[15:24] <Nasturtium> "Er, yes, something to do with unlawful taking of assets."
[15:24] <Nasturtium> "AssETS, Rammy, I said assETS"
[15:25] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> "Oh, right. But... Ramrod?"
[15:26] <Nasturtium> (...I'm done now.))
[15:28] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "There will definitely be unlawfulness and asset redistribution. Now, regarding the location of the hostage..."
[15:28] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "How do you feel about... friendship?"
[15:31] <Kuniko> "...did you just seriously suggest that?"
[15:32] <Nasturtium> "Of course she did."
[15:33] <Mister_Cavern> "...what do you mean, friendship? Look, we're here for the cash, not friend-making, or we wouldn't be in the thuggery business, would we?"
[15:33] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles fingers her disguise pen and special weapon. "That's unfortunate. Guess we'll have to befriend you the hard way then. LOVE SHOT! SET UP!"
[15:33] <Nasturtium> "Wha? Shot?"
[15:34] * Nasturtium levels her gun at the thug
[15:34] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles transforms into a barrier jacket look-alike, and the Love Shot suddenly looks like a giant staff with cylinder-things hanging off it and a heart-shaped jewel in a golden ring on the business end
[15:35] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Charm Monster gun = <3))
[15:35] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Initiative is yes? :D))
[15:36] <Kuniko> "I guess this is one way of dealing with a problem."
[15:36] <Kuniko> ( Surprise round? =P )
[15:36] <Kuniko> ( They didn't expect that )
[15:37] * Crystal will fly down and add her own charm ability if needed
[15:38] * Nasturtium will apply her own brand of charming, the large caliber kind
[15:40] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles rolls 4 for init
[15:41] * Crystal has a +5 init bonus if relevant
[15:41] <Mister_Cavern> I'm pretty sure they expected it. So, Sparkles gets a 4. What's everyone's modifier so I can roll?
[15:42] <Nasturtium> Nast=+4, Rammy=+3
[15:42] <Kuniko> Init?
[15:42] <Mister_Cavern> Yeah
[15:42] <Kuniko> +4
[15:43] <Mister_Cavern> Crystal 25 Kuniko 21 Nast 17 Rammy 16 Thugs 10 Sparkles 4 go!
[15:44] * Nasturtium fires once with each gun Ninja Round
[15:44] <Mister_Cavern> Okay, attack bonuses?
[15:44] <Nasturtium> +14 each, Scorching Ray is touch
[15:45] <Mister_Cavern> One of them takes a bullet to she chest (6+14 = 20) and the other takes a face full of fire (19+14 = heaps, like, 33)
[15:45] <Nasturtium> 4d6+2 Fire, 3d6+2
[15:47] <Mister_Cavern> 12 and 11 respectively. They both collapse, falling comatose to the ground from their injuries, even as three more rush out to see what's going on, and a few... surprisingly sharklike fellows start to emerge from the ocean! (Sahuagin)
[15:47] <Mister_Cavern> So there are more foes to replace those fools, and it's now Crystal's turn!
[15:47] <Nasturtium> "Oh look guys! There's more for you!"
[15:47] <Crystal> No time for friendship Dr Sparkles!
[15:48] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "There is *always* time for friendship."
[15:48] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Especially the beating-people-up kind."
[15:49] <Crystal> (( how many shark people? ))
[15:49] <Mister_Cavern> (rolling 3d4... 9)
[15:49] <Mister_Cavern> (Yes, if I had more d4 immediately on hand there would be more)
[15:50] * Crystal activates monk style
[15:50] * Crystal dives to meet the invading landsharks swords first
[15:51] * Crystal will be making 2 sword attacks at +14 melee at the lead sharkmen
[15:52] <Crystal> (( cut n paste of attack line: NINJA SWORD +14 melee 1d10+16 slashing plus 1d6+7 cold and B.o.B.B.B +14 melee 1d6+14 slashing plus +1d6+7 cold ))
[15:53] * Crystal yells "I'll kill the sharks, someone try to get inside!"
[15:55] <Mister_Cavern> Okies... 2+14=16 (so barely a hit, yet still a hit) and 19 threat! and 5+14=19 so crits. The first shark is hit just as it makes landfall, for 17 slashing and 10 cold. Two bits of dead, cold shark hit the floor.
[15:56] <Mister_Cavern> The other one, however, is completely gutted and filleted, ready for cooking, at 36 slashing and 20 cold if the static cold bonus multiplies, or 13 if it doesn't
[15:56] <Crystal> (( if it's not dice, it should multiply ))
[15:56] <Mister_Cavern> There are now seven Sahuagin left, and it's Kuniko Time! (No, Dad, no!)
[15:56] <Mister_Cavern> In that case 36 and 20 respectively
[15:57] * Kuniko decides to throw a firebolt at one of the Sahuagin that she can see. (+8 Ranged Touch. )
[15:57] * Crystal is done, intent on killing these aquatic landsharks
[15:58] <Mister_Cavern> 19+8=27 means bam, there's a burst of flame IN THE FACE
[15:58] <Mister_Cavern> I have been rolling well for you guys - not that I'm superstitious about dice, I don't have time for superstition
[15:58] <Kuniko> Heheh
[15:58] <Kuniko> Okay
[15:58] <Kuniko> And damage is...
[15:59] * Crystal ((misses Yuffie and hopes she gets well soon ))
[15:59] <Kuniko> 8d6 + 2
[16:01] <Mister_Cavern> On a minimum roll it's still up! 34 is not minimum. You now have fried flake. There are now six sahuagin left, and three dudes at the door. And it's Nasturtium + Rammy time
[16:02] * Nasturtium fires a shot at each of the door dudes, saving one for any that stay up, and if none do, firing at a sahuagin.
[16:03] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> charges a sahuagin, smacking with staff and channeling shocking grasp
[16:03] <Nasturtium> er... I'm actually not sure how that works...
[16:03] <Nasturtium> But Rammy's melee is +8
[16:04] <Mister_Cavern> Blam blam! Two door guys get hit, for 13 (down) and 14 (down), leaving puffs of smoke and sparks in the air as they slump over.
[16:05] <Mister_Cavern> And... blam! The third guy's chest bursts open for 15 and he also crashes to the ground, so... ouch. Critical Scorch on a sahuagin
[16:05] <Mister_Cavern> Thirty damage blasts it into fried crispy bits, meaning five remain. Rammy charges in...
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> Smack! She hits it in the mouth with her staff, so what's the quarterstaff damage for her?
[16:06] <Nasturtium> three section, 1d8+5
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> Also, what's her hit dice? Because it's that many d6 of electricity.
[16:06] <Nasturtium> shocking grasp 5d6
[16:07] <Mister_Cavern> So 8 face-hitting damage, and 12 electricity. There is a crackle, for a moment you can see its skeleton (rather, its cartilage), and it falls over, smoking a bit. Four remaining.
[16:07] <Nasturtium> "Tsk, if only we had more attacks"
[16:08] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> "I know
[16:08] <Nasturtium> And....
[16:08] * Nasturtium activates monk stance, and allocates Jutsu point to..
[16:08] <Nasturtium> damage rolls
[16:09] <Mister_Cavern> Those four now mean business, two attacking Crystal, and two attacking Rammy, even as what appears to be their boss - four-armed, massive in size (Large) and with a fancy bandana and belt - gazes at them from the enemy ship and leaps into the water, approaching.
[16:10] <Nasturtium> Rammy's AC is 21
[16:10] <Mister_Cavern> So, attacking Crystal, we have 1 charge for 10 (nope) and another, now flanking, for 26 (does that hit?)
[16:11] <Crystal> with monk stance active, AC is 27
[16:11] <Mister_Cavern> hahaha, just missed
[16:12] <Mister_Cavern> For Rammy, we have 24 (hit) and the other slips, slides and looks a bit stupid. She takes 10 nonmagical Piercing damage (before any DR applies), the sharp trident spikes jabbing firmly against her wooden body.
[16:12] <Mister_Cavern> There might be some denting or scratching.
[16:13] <Nasturtium> 4 get through
[16:13] <Mister_Cavern> There is a bit of a scrape, and it matches on the ship.
[16:13] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> "Hey!"
[16:13] <Mister_Cavern> Now, Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Sparkles!
[16:14] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles steps to ensure no interruption, double-taps the big boss with the Love Shot, and if Charm doesn't go off fires DIVINE BUSTER
[16:14] <Nasturtium> "Hey! I was gonna shoot him!"
[16:15] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Love Shot is +15/+10, 3d6+3 nonlethal, Will save DC 20 vs. Charm))
[16:16] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((then Swift Action Empowered Searing Light at +15 ranged touch, 4d8 untyped * 1.5))
[16:16] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((can roll if you want, or you can))
[16:17] <Mister_Cavern> Two bursts of brilliant sparkling energy, in the shape of hearts, crash against the boss, bursting into glitter for 24 nonlethal, and 17 on the Will Save, so he lowers his weapons, a wide smile crossing his face.
[16:17] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "You already got to shoot someone, I want a turn. :("
[16:17] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((searing light is no then))
[16:17] <Nasturtium> "Aww... but he was the boss..."
[16:17] <Mister_Cavern> More like he was the Bawss
[16:18] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Hi new friend! Could you call off your minions before we have to hurt anybody too much more, and then tell us where my bestest buddy's father is? Pretty please?"
[16:19] <Mister_Cavern> There are still four left, and it's back to Crystal's turn. Does Crystal wish to let him try to call them off, or continue killing?
[16:19] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((HAY GUYS I JUST CHARMED LADY VOX GG))
[16:19] <Mister_Cavern> (Lady Vox?)
[16:19] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((Everquest reference. Big ice dragon.))
[16:20] <Mister_Cavern> (ah)
[16:20] * Crystal Crystal is too intent on killing landsharks to notice charm for a second or two
[16:20] * Crystal uses crazy full attack + silver flash to mow down remaining sharkmen
[16:21] <Crystal> (( Full Attack
[16:21] <Crystal> NINJA SWORD +14/+9 melee 1d10+16 slashing plus 1d6+7 cold and B.o.B.B.B +14/+9 melee 1d6+14 slashing plus +1d6+7 cold and Slam +6 melee 1d8+14 and 1d6+7 cold ))
[16:21] <Mister_Cavern> Okay, so that's... +14/+14/+14/+9/+9/+6 right? Including the Silver Flash
[16:21] <Crystal> ((yup))
[16:24] <Mister_Cavern> Well, kashink-shink, with a Snickersnack she leaves her two attacks dead, then steps 5' closer to Rammy, and hits one to death, misses the next, but her blade moves like the wind and catches it on the backswing for [dead] damage. She has no foes left to slam :(
[16:24] <Crystal> "That's it for the landsharks, get inside while I hold off the four-armed one!!"
[16:24] <Mister_Cavern> Now does anyone want to attack the captain anyway, despite him being charmed?
[16:24] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Not necessary Crystal!"
[16:25] <Crystal> But they could be holding him inside, we gotta get in there fastfastfast!
[16:25] <Nasturtium> "Can I shoot anyway?"
[16:26] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Well there might be someone inside to shoot."
[16:26] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "If you really need your fix."
[16:26] <Nasturtium> "But there's a giant target out here!"
[16:26] <Nasturtium> "Plus, if you promise me a target, and only your dad's inside..."
[16:26] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Not my dad. Crystal's dad."
[16:27] <Nasturtium> "Er, right."
[16:27] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "If he's in there, fine, go ahead and shoot the four-arm guy."
[16:27] <Mister_Cavern> Once slightly under 6 seconds have passed from him being shot - his initiative - the hearts in his eyes burst, he shakes his head, and they narrow, red again. Looks like he has a slippery mind. So with that, he makes a big leap, charging at Crystal. "En Guard, bitch!"
[16:27] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Or just do it. That works too."
[16:27] <Nasturtium> does he enter my threatened range?
[16:28] <Mister_Cavern> Nope, you're further back, Nasturtium.
[16:28] <Nasturtium> damn
[16:28] <Crystal> (( AC is only 23 since she used silver flash instead of monk stance ))
[16:28] <Mister_Cavern> x.x natural 20, so a threat, and 15+30 = 45 to hit.
[16:29] <Kuniko> Ouch.
[16:29] <Crystal> (( see, wouldn't have mattered anyways ))
[16:29] <Nasturtium> damnit
[16:30] <Mister_Cavern> How many HP does Crystal have?
[16:30] <Crystal> 59
[16:30] * Crystal really has to remember to load up on those temp HP before fights one of these days
[16:31] <Mister_Cavern> So 4d6+98 >.< is SHLURK! The trident goes right through her midsection, and he then raises it into the air, the silhouette being most menacing. Slowly, her corpse slides down the pole until it reaches his fists gripping it, though she is allowed a dying speech.
[16:31] <Nasturtium> jesus.
[16:31] <Mister_Cavern> ((Keep in mind, in a world of Cleeeeeriiiiic and REINCARNATIONS!, death is like a battle-long status effect.))
[16:32] <Crystal> Nooooo.......
[16:32] * Nasturtium throws a phoenix down
[16:32] * Kuniko is clearly pissed off as she sees what happened, and throws a firebolt at the sahuagin bastard. (assuming it's my turn now, that is )
[16:33] <Nasturtium> should be
[16:33] <Crystal> Sparkles, he doesn't seem friendly. Cap'n shoot him! Soda Nose, get inside!
[16:33] <Mister_Cavern> Yeah, go for it Kuniko. So +8 to hit... what's your BAB?
[16:33] <Kuniko> "Screw that, I'm killing this one before I go anywhere."
[16:34] <Kuniko> My BAB should be 7
[16:35] <Mister_Cavern> Kuniko shouts, inflamed with VENGEANCE, and hurls a pair of the fiery blasts, but although the first hits, the second is inaccurate due to her rage. Still, it's enough to deal... 24 damage, burning him but not killing him
[16:36] <Nasturtium> "Ahha! My turn!"
[16:36] <Mister_Cavern> So now we have Nasturtles and Rammy
[16:37] * Nasturtium fires everything she's got. Two shots from each gun +14/+9, 4d6+6 fire, 3d6+6
[16:37] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> waits to see if she needs to do anything
[16:39] <Mister_Cavern> Nasturtles is like a gatling gun. Hit, hit, miss, hit, there is a barrage of ammunition! 19, 16, 28 damage! For a total of 63 damage... but the bastard is still standing.
[16:39] <Nasturtium> <Rammy> Charges again with her three section staff and shocking grasp!
[16:41] <Mister_Cavern> CRACK! The third section hits it in the back of the neck, for 10 hittiness and 19 zap. It doesn't die, but thanks to the NL from the love shots, its eyes roll back and it falls face-down into the water, even as the ocean crackles and sparks a bit.
[16:41] <Mister_Cavern> What with him being up to his knees in the water when electrocuted
[16:41] <Nasturtium> "Wow, that one was kinda hard...."
[16:42] * MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles pops a Gentle Repose on Crystal as soon as she can
[16:42] <Mister_Cavern> Meanwhile, Crystal is in a room, in a quiz show. "What's My Name?" "Okay," the host says, holding up a picture of the captain. "For a thousand Hell... What's My Name?"
[16:43] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Okay, we... *should* be able to get her up with just a Revivify, if we can find someone to cast it."
[16:43] <Nasturtium> "Quick! Does anyone owe us favours!"
[16:43] <Crystal> That's uh...
[16:43] <Crystal> The Cap'n
[16:44] <Crystal> Nastinnitus
[16:45] <Mister_Cavern> BZZZZZZZZZZZZT! "Oh, I'm sorry Crystal, you just lost the game! We would have accepted 'Nasturtium'. So the winner this week is Barzini's girlfriend, that tittydemon!" It appears you're in Hell.
[16:45] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> "Wait, wait... Crystal's an Outsider right? Dang. Might be harder then."
[16:45] <Mister_Cavern> (You could try CleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicCorp Pty Ltd)
[16:45] <Kuniko> "...tittydemon?"
[16:46] <Mister_Cavern> (You're not there, Kuniko. It's Crystal's private Hell)
[16:46] <Kuniko> ( Oh, okay. Consider that an off-game one then )
[16:46] <Mister_Cavern> (And I was referring to Miss Strawberry or Miss Raspberry, I forget which. But I suppose Kuniko qualifies more in that department, these days)
[16:47] <Kuniko> ( It was Strawberry. By the way, what are the names of those succubi I managed to convince to join me once I got the Executioner? XD )
[16:47] <Mister_Cavern> (Miss Lime and Miss Cherry)
[16:48] <Kuniko> ( I don't mind, though I hate lemons and lime :U )
[16:48] <MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles> ((So many berries))
[16:49] <Mister_Cavern> So... the team have defeated a deadly foe, and managed to - presumably - rescue Crystal's dad, but at a terrible cost. What will they do to get Crystal back? Find a cleeeeeeeeeriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic? Go to a Netherworld Hospital? Sacrifice her father so that, blood (?) for blood, she is brought back at the cost of his life?
[16:49] <Nasturtium> See if her dad can do anything?
[16:50] <Mister_Cavern> And just how much of Hell can Crystal endure in the meantime? Find out in the next exciting episode of Pretty Soldier Tengen Toppa Lyrical Friendship Punch!
[16:50] <Mister_Cavern> Which for the record is not happening next week, as I will be seeing the dentist
[16:50] *** Mister_Cavern changed nick to Koumei
[16:50] *** Kuniko changed nick to Icyshadow
[16:50] <Icyshadow> Okay then =O
[16:50] <Nasturtium> ah, fun.
[16:50] *** Nasturtium changed nick to Prak
[16:50] *** Crystal changed nick to rabid_schnauzer
[16:50] *** MahouShoujoLyricalSparkles changed nick to Quantumboost
[16:51] <Koumei> So in two weeks' time, you guys get to decide how to deal with the situation.
[16:51] <Quantumboost> I'm happy with the current rate of integrating new series
[16:51] <Quantumboost> i.e. full tilt
[16:51] <Prak> lol
[16:51] <Icyshadow> Well, I'm getting some sleep now
[16:51] <Koumei> Oh also, while you're all here, LEVEL UP
[16:51] <Koumei> You have two weeks to do that, mind
[16:51] <Quantumboost> w00t
[16:51] <Icyshadow> I'll add the numbers later.
[16:51] <Icyshadow> See ya later
[16:52] <Koumei> seeya
[16:52] <Prak> sweet
[16:52] <Quantumboost> now to decide if I want to get a fiend feat or attack-action light spells and full-party death ward
[16:53] <Prak> and I get to decide what class to level up in.
[16:53] <rabid_schnauzer> I'm actually picking up a ninja 1....but the feat choice is tricky
[16:54] <Koumei> Also, if you sacrifice Crystal's dad to bring her back, then that means something terrible happens to one of her parents so she meets that requirement for Hero! Otherwise she'd have to, upon getting revived and finding him all better, actually kill him herself.
[16:55] <Prak> heh
[16:56] <Quantumboost> ...hmmmm.
[16:56] <Prak> damnit, I need to qualify for Pumpkin King
[16:56] <Quantumboost> Well, your friendly neighborhood medical professional (Sparkles) wouldn't bring it up, but...
[16:59] <Quantumboost> Also, I can totally rez Crystal for free! But she'd die again in 9 minutes.
[16:59] <Quantumboost> If only I could Revenance at-will.
[17:00] <Prak> well.... technically she could take a "must have died" PrC
[17:00] <Prak> sadly, those all suck, to my knowledge
[17:00] <rabid_schnauzer> aside from emancipated spawn looping tricks
[17:02] * rabid_schnauzer contemplates the Large Size [fiend] feat
[17:03] <Prak> ugh, I'll think about this later
[17:03] <Prak> see ya guys
[17:03] <rabid_schnauzer> night
[17:03] <Koumei> later
[17:03] *** Prak quit (Connection reset by peer)
[17:04] <Koumei> And I think I might go take the dog for WALKIES!!! and have a shower, then do some cleaning of the house.
[17:04] <Quantumboost> Oh man, I could totally use all my 4th-level slots for Revenance and just keep Gentle Reposing Crystal. We could keep that up for DAYS.
[17:04] <Quantumboost> This is either the best or worst plan.
[17:05] <rabid_schnauzer> might be funny for like one session
[17:06] <rabid_schnauzer> but I think the sacrifice dad plan is the way to go...that way Crystal can feel all bad about double-failing to save him
[17:06] <Quantumboost> heheh yeah
[17:10] *** Icyshadow quit ([NS] Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- Now with extra fish!)
[17:17] <rabid_schnauzer> ooh, hey, the tome rules on reducing natural armor stacking cutting one in half are phrased "if you wear armor"...so armored in life stacks completely with natural armor :)
[17:17] <Quantumboost> *facepalm*
[17:20] <rabid_schnauzer> I also think Crystal comes back Large Sized...but not quite sure why
[17:23] <Quantumboost> oh hey that's right, we get a feat this level
[17:23] <Quantumboost> ...yet another thing to choose
[17:36] <rabid_schnauzer> sadly the only tome feat that boost initiative this level provides bonuses to skills Crystal doesn't use
[17:36] <Koumei> Also if the sacrifice thing happens, it means "Well, that was required". Hell, maybe he agrees to it and is reincarnated as a Prinny for his actions. If she has to kill him to qualify, that means later on getting hunted down by someone with levels in "Your Mum", out for revenge.
[17:37] <Koumei> Now wether that is good or bad is up to you of course
[17:37] <Koumei> IIRC there are only two Tome Initiative boosters (Danger Sense, which also gives Immunity to Rogues, and, if at BAB +11 or +16, Lightning Reflexes)
[17:38] <Koumei> If you want +10 to Init from feats alone (never mind from familiar, Dex, class features and bullshit traits) then you want Pathfailure. I seriously made a Witch or something with like +20 Init at level 6
[17:43] <rabid_schnauzer> going with large size for the stat boosts...and to out bra-size kuniko :p
[17:43] <Koumei> hahaha
[17:45] <rabid_schnauzer> assuming that magic weapons automatically scale up -- as if the dice even matter on her damage
[17:45] <Koumei> Yeah, they do just scale up to make things simpler
[17:57] <rabid_schnauzer> okay, got new attack lines added up, will get to skills and such...stoopid having to get up in like 4 hours
[17:57] <rabid_schnauzer> night

My vote is for Crystal's dad to sacrifice himself to rez her....but mum to blame her for it anyways...I mean she not only failed to rescue dad but went and got killed trying.

Looks like a lot happened. I'm disappointed nobody tried to dominate or kill the EvilCorp nurse. Before this last session came around I meant to post asking about a copy of the first Kuniko surgery video. Since that nurse's still alive, Barzini would like to purchase a copy of both the tail adding/removing videos. 

That can indeed be arranged.
Just a reminder that, as I am visiting a dentist (with the drill that will pierce the heavens D: ), there will be no game this week. Things resume as normal the following week.

Another reminder, seeing as it is now actually relevant:
Guess what level nine (this level you just reached) means? That's right, your first Aardvark bonus! Enjoy +1 to every ability score. Yeah, it's the bonus you get from books or wishes.

Coming Soon Future build plans and proto-math to make potential future levelups quicker (plans subject to change based on game events and whims) :
- Level 10: All enhancement bonuses scale to +4. Hero!1 adds +d10 HD, +1 BAB, +1 to Fort and Ref, 4+int Skillz and Signature style to increase threat range of Style weapons by Cha bonus -- which will mean 11+ threat range on swords, 12+ on Slam and gain +3 dodge to AC after swording and auto-Edge against any higher CR opponents.
- Level 11: Hero! 2 provides+d10 HD, +1 BAB, +1 to Fort and Ref, skillz, Signature move lets her trade fatigue for chance to stagger no-save target as well as bonus [Combat Feat] or +1 to armored in life and a new monk style (which might just be adding Con damage to weapon attacks)
- Level 12: New Feat TBD. +1 Cha, Hero! 3 provides +d10 HD, +1 BAB, +1 Will, Mad skills yo! and Most Useful providing +5 aardvark bonuses to crank Cha bonus to +11, for increased doubled melee damage and crit range and raises all other numbers somewhat less. Also base speed doubles (on top of ninja +50%), so walk of 90 + 30' Style + 15 Skate or Fly of 180' (average) + 30' Style
Alternately, against bigger, tougher targets, open with Freeze (also Su, yay!) for less damage but chance for opponent to lose action on failed Ref or Fort save.
