Oh heck yeah. I had many odd numbered ability scores so this is quite a substantial boost.

My computer is pretty much shot. Probably will not be able to rejoin the game this week. I'm working on a solution.

So, I'm going to rewrite one of the Net of the Pirate King abilities a bit, so that it just gives Animate Dead, instead of some cobbled together version of it, because that way I can then take Body Assemblage, and qualify for Pumpkin King next level. That cool?

Edit: Original Version
Calypso's Key wrote: At fourth level, the Net acquires a key once said to belong only to the Pirate Witch Callypso, that which open's Davey Jones' Locker. The Net of the Pirate Kings may, as a move action 5/day, raise a crew of undead pirates from the depths. This effect calls 2 HD of CR 1 skeletons per Character Level, all wielding assorted tridents, cutlasses and nets. All skeletons called by this effect are roughly humanoid, and no larger than large size. This effect may only be used one instance at a time, and one instance must end before another may be begun.
New Version
Calypso's Key wrote:At fourth level, the Net acquires a key once said to belong only to the Pirate Witch Callypso, that which open's Davey Jones' Locker. This key allows a modicum of Calypso's power, namely the ability to call the dead. 5/day, as a move action, the Net of the Pirate King may cast a specialized form of Animate Dead as a cleric of their character level, and call forth undead from the ocean depths. (It's a third level necromancy spell, with a casting time of 1 move action. It's range is close, but only to determine where the zombies and skeletons appear from. The spell reaches into the ocean, and so always has access to corpses.) If the Net of the Pirate King is landlocked, the skeletons and zombies will crawl from the nearest body of water, or from the ground, mysteriously soaking wet, even if appearing in a desert.
Edit:
Nast and Rammy are leveled finally.

Sure, no problem.

And a reminder that game is on, today. In 4-5 hours.

(10:08:57 PM) You are now known as Crystal
(10:09:02 PM) Barzini: Ah. Until then she must be in a waiting room, Prinny transformation impending.
(10:09:03 PM) Quantumboost is now known as Sparkles
(10:09:19 PM) Barzini: Like, the waiting room from Beetlejuice.
(10:09:26 PM) Nasturtium: ...I was joking. We haven't decided anything, to my knowledge
(10:09:28 PM) Kuniko: ( brb )
(10:09:32 PM) Barzini: Except here everyone is waiting to be turned into a Prinny.
(10:09:57 PM) Nasturtium: lol
(10:10:18 PM) Nasturtium: I like the idea that he gets fast tracked and shows up as one of yours, but remembers everything
(10:11:03 PM) Barzini: Aww, a sad red Prinny awaiting transmigration?
(10:11:41 PM) Kuniko: ( Back )
(10:11:58 PM) Barzini: <Red Prinny> Please take care of Crystal. Don't let this happen again. ... ...uh, dood.
(10:13:25 PM) Barzini: Oh, right. MC, how much does the creepy nurse want for the Kuniko AVs?
(10:14:11 PM) Mister_Cavern: Everyone shut up a minute, I can't think
(10:14:17 PM) Mister_Cavern: Let me read individual lines
(10:14:58 PM) Mister_Cavern: Okay. Only one thing relevant to me, the rest is all idle banter. Good. She wants five hundred Hl.
(10:15:17 PM) Barzini: Sold.
(10:15:53 PM) Kuniko: ...eh?
(10:16:15 PM) Nasturtium: now two of us have sex pics of Kuniko
(10:16:30 PM) Nasturtium: the dissemination will greatly help your goals
(10:16:34 PM) Mister_Cavern: Okay. When last we left off, the team had just bust some ass. Of sahuagin. However, things did not go perfectly to plan, as they lost a party member: Crystal was slain by the boss, before he himself was murdered harshly.
(10:16:45 PM) Mister_Cavern: What do
(10:17:52 PM) Nasturtium: "Hm, didn't Crystal /want/ something terrible to happen to her dad so she could get a spiffy new PrC?"
(10:18:55 PM) ***Barzini rejoins the party with magenta lipstick on his cheek, smelling of brand new electronics fresh from the packaging. He surveys the scene trying to figure out what's going on.
(10:19:13 PM) Kuniko: "That sounds like a rather shady thing to do. Does Crystal count as being evil...?" *Looks at Barzini* "...the hell happened to you?"
(10:19:31 PM) Sparkles: "I recall that being discussed. I can't raise her except for a few minutes. Though, I guess we could save resurrecting her dad for some later date."
(10:19:58 PM) Nasturtium: "...well I suppose a few minutes would be long enough to ask her what she wants..."
(10:20:51 PM) Barzini: "Uh, I was busy benchmarking some new hardware, and my minions keep telling me it's been days since I've left my cabin. What's going on?"
(10:21:57 PM) Nasturtium: "We saved Crystal's dad!"
(10:22:08 PM) Nasturtium: "On the down side, Crystal died."
(10:22:15 PM) Barzini: "All in a day's work! Where--"
(10:22:41 PM) Barzini: "What!? What the hell happened?"
(10:22:54 PM) Nasturtium: "I think she got stuck with a spear"
(10:23:01 PM) Kuniko: "Sahuagin did it."
(10:23:19 PM) Sparkles: "Big guy. She died bravely, but she's still a corpse
(10:23:45 PM) Barzini: "Why wasn't anyone watching out for her? The last time we sent her into a bunch of sea dragons and she got out without a scratch!"
(10:24:05 PM) Nasturtium: "So, we killing the geezer now, or raising her a moment to ask her if she wants us to?"
(10:24:22 PM) Sparkles: "We did. She was oneshotted."
(10:24:25 PM) Nasturtium: "I believe you just answered your own question, there."
(10:24:37 PM) ***Barzini facepalms.
(10:24:38 PM) ***Sparkles just does the rezzy thing
(10:24:56 PM) Nasturtium: "But yeah, we totally were watching. We all got a very good look at the spear going through her and lifting her off the ground"
(10:25:27 PM) ***Barzini does the eyeless blue streaky lines thing.
(10:25:31 PM) Kuniko: "...to think it only took one hit. Was it even a critical?"
(10:25:54 PM) Nasturtium: "I... think so?"
(10:26:23 PM) Barzini: "Agh, shut up already! How is Crystal's dad taking it?"
(10:26:24 PM) Sparkles: "Her condition certainly looked critical."
(10:26:47 PM) Sparkles: "Oh, hey, Crystal. We've only got you a few minutes. You want us to sacrifice your dad for your life?"
(10:26:55 PM) Nasturtium: "We haven't talked to him."
(10:28:07 PM) ***Barzini bang his head against the nearest vertical running fixture.
(10:28:21 PM) Sparkles: "Oh. Right. We should probably ask him too."
(10:28:32 PM) Nasturtium: "Nah, he's just an npc"
(10:30:10 PM) Kuniko: "I don't see that being too much of a problem."
(10:30:40 PM) Nasturtium: "I mean his opinion doesn't matter."
(10:31:01 PM) Barzini: "We should talk to her dad. She just risked her life to save him."
(10:31:17 PM) Nasturtium: "So we should talk to her."
(10:31:36 PM) Mister_Cavern: Well, Crystal is currently alive, thanks to that rez
(10:31:42 PM) Mister_Cavern: Though apparently the clock is ticking
(10:31:54 PM) Barzini: (This is the first time I've seen Revenance in action.)
(10:32:42 PM) Nasturtium: "So, Crystal, what do you say? Want us to sacrifice your dad to bring you back?"
(10:32:52 PM) You are now known as Zombie_Goth
(10:33:08 PM) You are now known as Zombie_Goth_Crystal
(10:33:16 PM) Zombie_Goth_Crystal: I"M IN HELL!!!!! AAAAA!!!
(10:33:43 PM) ***Sparkles facepalm
(10:33:46 PM) Nasturtium: "Nah, we were just able to rez you for a few minutes."
(10:33:50 PM) Barzini: "Uh... yeah, this is where we plunder all our women and loot..."
(10:34:07 PM) Zombie_Goth_Crystal: OH NO, YOU'RE ALL HERE TOOO...wait what?
(10:34:16 PM) Kuniko: "...you're alive...for now."
(10:34:40 PM) Sparkles: "It's a spell I know. It's only temporary though. We need a more permanent solution."
(10:35:08 PM) Nasturtium: "Yep, your dad volunteered to die in your place/"
(10:35:14 PM) Zombie_Goth_Crystal: Well did we win then?
(10:35:28 PM) Sparkles: "Yep, our enemies are dead."
(10:35:38 PM) Sparkles: "Well, the immediately relevant ones anyway."
(10:37:36 PM) Barzini: "The scoundrels had to wait until I wasn't here to try something like this. So, uh... your sacrifice wound up getting you what you wanted, your dad is safe, but..."
(10:38:13 PM) Zombie_Goth_Crystal: but....?
(10:38:26 PM) Nasturtium: "you're dead, dummy"
(10:38:40 PM) Kuniko: "At least until we can fully revive you."
(10:39:16 PM) ***Barzini discreetly wipes the magenta lips off his cheek. "Well, they're talking about sacrificing your dad to bring you back. After you went this far to save him, it had to come to this..."
(10:40:57 PM) Zombie_Goth_Crystal: I don't want to stay in Hell. And I don't want Dad to die. and wait, was that lipstick?
(10:41:31 PM) ***Barzini starts wiping at his face a lot.
(10:41:35 PM) Kuniko: "Yes, that was lipstick."
(10:41:42 PM) Nasturtium: "He was smexing the android."
(10:41:46 PM) Sparkles: "Well, our options are kind of limited. I can't resurrect permanently until next level. I can keep your corpse fresh pretty much indefinitely, but you're still in Hell during that time."
(10:42:12 PM) Kuniko: "As for how to bring you back without killing your dad...I am pretty sure we'd need to find someone who does know ressurection spells..."
(10:42:16 PM) Nasturtium: "Man, and we just leveled too... what's the quickest way to get another?"
(10:42:31 PM) Barzini: "Maybe we could ask Martel?"
(10:42:39 PM) Barzini: "He said he was well connected with religious types."
(10:42:51 PM) Zombie_Goth_Crystal: It's absolute Hell in Hell, get me outta here!
(10:42:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Hm, true.
(10:42:57 PM) Kuniko: "...do I know this person?"
(10:44:17 PM) Nasturtium: "...no, you never met the jackel headed guy well connected with religious types helping me find worhsippers..."
(10:44:27 PM) Mister_Cavern: (He's the Jackal Lord you guys rescued in the sa- only episode that Nax' character showed up)
(10:45:14 PM) Barzini: (I got it backwards, apparently it's Mertal.)
(10:45:29 PM) Barzini: (dyslexariffic.)
(10:45:34 PM) Kuniko: "I might need to ask him a few questions."
(10:45:46 PM) Kuniko: ( And yeah, I wonder why Nax isn't here now. )
(10:46:19 PM) Kuniko: ( He's missed out on quite a few sessions now. )
(10:46:33 PM) Sparkles: ((Was wondering why you were making a Tales of Symphonia reference)
(10:46:57 PM) Mister_Cavern: (He was here earlier before anyone else showed up, but either he got bored because I was the only one here and was busy, or he slinked away when I expressed distaste at being hugged by him)
(10:47:10 PM) Barzini: "How long before you become a Prinny?"
(10:48:05 PM) Kuniko: ( Possible that he got kicked off the computer. )
(10:48:58 PM) Barzini: "This spell is running out of time, but we've got to do something!"
(10:50:50 PM) Kuniko: "I can't cast anything useful yet..."
(10:51:13 PM) Nasturtium: (hold on, class related call)
(10:58:46 PM) Nasturtium: (sorry about that)
(11:00:08 PM) Mister_Cavern: (I think my earlier outburst scared everyone into silence)
(11:00:34 PM) Nasturtium: (what, at the beginning? neh)
(11:00:50 PM) Nasturtium: "So, hey, we gonna kill Crystal's dad, or what?"
(11:00:54 PM) Kuniko: ( Nah. Just not sure of what to say )
(11:01:03 PM) Kuniko: "She doesn't want that."
(11:01:12 PM) Barzini: (I'd asked a question I don't actually expect Crystal to know the answer to)
(11:01:52 PM) Barzini: (And kind of wonder if the MC would even have an answer for that, 'lest I'd K:Planes it.)
(11:02:11 PM) Barzini: (Kinda moot anyway since Crystal's gotta come back into play somehow)
(11:02:25 PM) Mister_Cavern: (I'd suggest such a skill check to know)
(11:02:25 PM) ***Zombie_Goth_Crystal really hopes she doesn't reincarnate as a Prinny
(11:02:47 PM) Sparkles: "She... *probably* won't become a prinny. I don't think."
(11:02:54 PM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+15 K:Planes - ok sure, how long until Crystal becomes a knife wielding penguin dood?
(11:02:54 PM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+15 K:Planes - ok sure, how long until Crystal becomes a knife wielding penguin dood? : (18) 33
(11:03:05 PM) Sparkles: "That was a pretty impressive not-actually-suicide death, right?
(11:03:07 PM) Sparkles: "
(11:04:09 PM) Zombie_Goth_Crystal: I totally was trying to kill him, not the other way around!
(11:04:26 PM) Mister_Cavern: Okay. It's usually worthless people - or people who kill/sacrifice themselves - who become prinnies. This means she's probably safe. But for the record, it takes "until night time".
(11:06:04 PM) Barzini: (Huh. Come to think of it yeah, all the major characters that went down that road did sacrifice themselves...)
(11:07:49 PM) Barzini: "Where is her dad anyway? He ought to see this."
(11:08:50 PM) Nasturtium: "I'll get him!"
(11:09:03 PM) ***Nasturtium walks into the hut
(11:09:22 PM) Nasturtium: (Ok, would anyone seriously object to what I'm thinking of doing?"
(11:09:24 PM) Mister_Cavern: No-one is there - the TV is on, though.
(11:09:41 PM) Kuniko: "How long till this temporary revival ends?"
(11:09:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: Keep in mind that they do have their own ship parked outside
(11:10:08 PM) ***Nasturtium storms out of the hut "why the hell didn't anyone say he was on the ship!?"
(11:10:14 PM) ***Nasturtium storms onto the ship
(11:11:10 PM) Mister_Cavern: After a bit of searching, he is found, bound and gagged (duct tape placed over his painted-on mouth) in the hold
(11:11:50 PM) Sparkles: "It lasts 9 minutes total."
(11:11:53 PM) Nasturtium: (so... yeah. I'm thinking of arranging an accident. Any problem with that?)
(11:12:08 PM) Kuniko: ( ...I dunno. )
(11:12:08 PM) Barzini: (Barzini is moping because the previous quest he was on had Crystal safely come out of a very dangerous situation, and then while he's off getting Stapled, Crystal gets killed. Blames himself. As for how this is going to go down, this is Crystal's show.)
(11:12:46 PM) Zombie_Goth_Crystal: (( OOC no, IC will totally blame you for it later ))
(11:13:23 PM) Kuniko: (( lol ))
(11:13:59 PM) ***Nasturtium comes staggering out of the ship a moment later "Er.. oh, no! Crystal's dad is dead!"
(11:14:13 PM) Nasturtium: (I'm assuming it's totally not at all hard to kill a bound doll)
(11:14:55 PM) Sparkles: ((Um... did you actually do it in a way that would result in Crystal being back, or did you just off him?))
(11:15:04 PM) Zombie_Goth_Crystal: (( heh ))
(11:15:24 PM) ***Barzini deadpans at Nasturtium with a bulging forehead vein and a big ol' sweatdrop. "..."
(11:15:48 PM) Kuniko: "...you're not fooling anyone, you know."
(11:16:08 PM) Nasturtium: !dice 1d20+13 to know proper resurrect crystal sacrifice method
(11:16:09 PM) Yuffie: Nasturtium : Result of 1d20+13 to know proper resurrect crystal sacrifice method : (11) 24
(11:17:49 PM) Mister_Cavern: Well, yes, that is an acceptible sacrifice to the death god.
(11:18:23 PM) Nasturtium: "It's terrible! There's blood and...eh, you're right. Fact is, he's dead, Jim."
(11:18:29 PM) ***Barzini facepalms with one hand, then the other.
(11:18:31 PM) Mister_Cavern: There is a sudden dark aura surrounding Crystal, as mana power infuses her. One burst of energy later, she is properly alive.
(11:18:50 PM) ***Sparkles sweatdrop
(11:19:23 PM) Kuniko: "...now how the hell did that happen?"
(11:19:41 PM) Nasturtium: "The gods work in mysterious ways."
(11:20:02 PM) Sparkles: "Remind me not to introduce the Captain to any of my family members. That is to say, any other angels I know at all."
(11:20:04 PM) ***Barzini rubs his eyes wearily, "Worst mystery ever."
(11:20:25 PM) Nasturtium: "Hey, I grew up with only the crew to raise me!"
(11:20:57 PM) Barzini: "Kuniko can tell you all about that, Sparkles."
(11:21:09 PM) Nasturtium: "...come to think of it, that might explain some things about me... and why a binkie factory was burned down a few years ago.."
(11:21:17 PM) Barzini: "... hey, I wonder if Mariko would like to watch a video or two with me later..."
(11:21:27 PM) GX [GX@Nightstar-73ba8b74.dsl.look.ca] entered the room.
(11:21:51 PM) Kuniko: "What kind of video, Barzini?"
(11:22:03 PM) Barzini: "Uh, well... I'm not sure. I think it's a documentary?"
(11:22:12 PM) Kuniko: "...on what?"
(11:22:24 PM) You are now known as Larger_than_Life_Crystal
(11:22:24 PM) Nasturtium: "Anatomy"
(11:22:50 PM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal blinks
(11:23:15 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: What happened now? Why are you all so small?
(11:23:29 PM) Nasturtium: "Ah, Crystal you're alive, it's a miracle, praise the gods, etc."
(11:23:41 PM) Sparkles: "Miracle, ritual, all the same apparently."
(11:24:07 PM) Sparkles: "And... apparently you got bumped to the next Empusa monster category? Is that a thing that happens?"
(11:24:18 PM) Barzini: "Uh!? Captain what the hell did you do on th ship?"
(11:24:52 PM) Nasturtium: "I just walked in... and... found... Crystal's dad... dead..."
(11:25:03 PM) Kuniko: "She most likely killed him herself."
(11:25:18 PM) ***Barzini looks up at Crystal's new size, "Dead from what, a bottle marked 'DRINK ME'!?"
(11:26:05 PM) ***Nasturtium looks Crystal up and down "Hey Crystal, you mom still alive?"
(11:26:40 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: Did I just reincarnate as some sort of giant?
(11:27:02 PM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal checks wings and tail for functionality
(11:27:13 PM) Sparkles: "You seem to just be... bigger."
(11:27:18 PM) Sparkles: "For no apparent reason."
(11:27:59 PM) ***Kuniko looks on, wondering if Crystal's chest also got bigger.
(11:28:14 PM) Barzini: "I guess she'll need new clothes now..."
(11:28:47 PM) ***Nasturtium looks on wondering if Crystal's big enough to offer an interesting new view
(11:29:26 PM) ***Sparkles glances at Kuniko and answers the unasked question "They seem to be the same relative proportions
(11:29:39 PM) Mister_Cavern: (Yes, everyone else is now basically at crotch height)
(11:30:02 PM) Kuniko: "...oh, well."
(11:30:09 PM) ***Nasturtium stoops a bit
(11:31:52 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: Well I think I remember wishing that I was stronger and tougher as I got run though.....
(11:32:34 PM) Sparkles: "...you leveled up while dying. That is... impressive."
(11:32:51 PM) Nasturtium: "Nah, I see it all the time in crappy animu"
(11:33:09 PM) Sparkles: "Well, yes, but we're in a *good* one. I think."
(11:33:17 PM) Sparkles: "Halfway decent, at least, I'd hope."
(11:33:22 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: But if dad's dead, it was too late
(11:33:27 PM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal sniffles
(11:33:31 PM) Nasturtium: "Well, that's true, we don't stand around charging our attacks for four hours..."
(11:33:39 PM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal starts to tear up
(11:33:44 PM) Nasturtium: "er... it wasn't too late..."
(11:34:13 PM) Kuniko: "..."
(11:35:13 PM) Nasturtium: "You saved your dad from the sharks, Crystal."
(11:35:32 PM) Sparkles: "Just not the Captain, apparently.
(11:35:33 PM) Sparkles: "
(11:35:44 PM) Nasturtium: "Well, we needed Crystal!"
(11:35:57 PM) Nasturtium: "...wait, does that sacrifice thing only work with family?"
(11:36:20 PM) Nasturtium: !dice 1d20+13 Bring me Prinnies!
(11:36:20 PM) Yuffie: Nasturtium : Result of 1d20+13 Bring me Prinnies! : (1) 14
(11:36:23 PM) Nasturtium: er...
(11:36:24 PM) Sparkles: "It probably requires a strong associative bond so the sympathetic effects of the ritual can conduct enough life energy."
(11:36:24 PM) ***Barzini just makes even weirder and more incredulous faces at Nasturtium.
(11:36:31 PM) Nasturtium: (oh, kn. religion)
(11:36:45 PM) ***Sparkles is just making stuff up so she doesn't need a knowledge check for that!
(11:37:19 PM) Nasturtium: "Can we wait til Barzelby attracts Crystal's Dad's Prinny form and sacrifice that to bring him back?"
(11:37:36 PM) Barzini: "I leave you all alone for a day or two... nobody's still told me how many days have passed, and everything goes to crazy town."
(11:37:36 PM) Kuniko: "That sounds hard to pull off."
(11:37:46 PM) Barzini: "Three days? Four days? ...five??"
(11:37:48 PM) Nasturtium: "Which?
(11:37:55 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: I Died and went to hell trying to save dad, and after that you go and sacrifice him!!! What would you do that for?!?!?
(11:38:16 PM) Nasturtium: "To bring you back, damnit!"
(11:38:38 PM) Nasturtium: "Sparkles, can you keep pop fresh until you can rez him?"
(11:39:03 PM) Sparkles: "Sure, Gentle Repose and occasional Revenance should be doable indefinitely."
(11:39:35 PM) Nasturtium: "That work, Crystal? We just need another level, and Dad can come back. It's like Lay Away, really..."
(11:41:09 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: Cap'n, you are insane
(11:41:16 PM) Nasturtium: "And?"
(11:41:23 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: and dangerous
(11:41:43 PM) Nasturtium: "I still fail to see the downside.... now you get that PrC you wanted."
(11:42:13 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: Wait....did you set this whole thing up from the get-go?
(11:42:14 PM) Barzini: "...less than a week, right? What day is it..?"
(11:42:40 PM) Nasturtium: "No, just figured I'd kill two birds with one stone"
(11:42:43 PM) Sparkles: "So... uh... Crystal, do you want to do the repose thingy for your dad's corpse?"
(11:43:37 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: YES SPARKLES...do whatever you can to stop this from getting worse
(11:44:20 PM) Nasturtium: "...Hey Sparkles... think you can rez my dad?"
(11:44:58 PM) Kuniko: "Why am I feeling that if Nasturtium kills everyone's parents, we'll end up killing HER instead?"
(11:45:18 PM) ***Sparkles goes off to collect corpses
(11:45:26 PM) Nasturtium: "I'm not going to kill *everyone's* parents.... just those that benefit the crew..."
(11:45:41 PM) Sparkles: "Uhm, maybe, depends on how fresh the corpse is.""
(11:46:26 PM) Nasturtium: "Er... 40 years or so?"
(11:46:26 PM) Sparkles: "And once I get a proper resurrect spell."
(11:46:45 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: I can't kill her. And it's not that right now I don't want to.
(11:47:19 PM) ***Barzini smiles at Kuniko, "She's making herself a scourge to her crew's families. Enough that there are contracts being formed for protection from the captain."
(11:47:41 PM) Nasturtium: "What!? Why am I not getting a cut!"
(11:47:45 PM) Kuniko: "Right."
(11:48:18 PM) ***Sparkles comes back with a reposed marionette corpse
(11:48:42 PM) ***Barzini grins in a creepily cheery way at Nasturtium, "This is a Round Robin sort of issue, captain. Best not pry too deeply."
(11:49:41 PM) Nasturtium: "No, hey, if people are paying protection to keep me from killing them, I deserve a cut!"
(11:51:04 PM) Kuniko: "Maybe."
(11:51:45 PM) Sparkles: "40 years is... a bit long. I won't be able to manage that for a loooooong time."
(11:52:10 PM) Nasturtium: "Damn... hmm... There's a library with necromantic tomes somewhere in Hell, right?"
(11:52:35 PM) Mister_Cavern: K: Pl?
(11:52:37 PM) Kuniko: "Pretty sure necromancers are hiding tomes like that everywhere...like academies on islands and such..."
(11:52:42 PM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+15 K:Planes
(11:52:43 PM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+15 K:Planes : (11) 26
(11:52:59 PM) Nasturtium: !dice 1d20+13 K:Pl
(11:53:00 PM) Yuffie: Nasturtium : Result of 1d20+13 K:Pl : (14) 27
(11:53:24 PM) Mister_Cavern: Underlord Seedle has such tomes in his Underworld... and can raise the undead himself, too
(11:53:39 PM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: Sparkles, let me at least care for the corpse
(11:53:45 PM) Mister_Cavern: That said, he is a jerk
(11:54:02 PM) ***Sparkles hands it over to Crystal
(11:54:40 PM) Nasturtium: "Crew, we have a heading. Crystal, I'm sorry I killed your dad, but we need you. It made me realize how much I miss mine, and I never even met him. But now, with Calypso's Key, and learning a bit of necromancy, maybe I can bring him back."
(11:54:57 PM) Barzini: "If you're willing to go through the Underlord, he has some. But you're not gonna raise Crystal's dad as a zombie, are you? Then he'd be a demonic undead puppet!"
(11:55:18 PM) Nasturtium: "No, if I was going to do that, I already could."
(11:55:27 PM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal storms off to her cabin with Dad's body
(11:55:34 PM) Kuniko: "Wait...the captain actually feels bad about something?!"
(11:55:51 PM) Nasturtium: "I know! I'm surprised too..."
(11:56:29 PM) Barzini: "That was pretty harsh, to die for a cause and have the cause renounced to bring her back to life. She must be pretty confused."
(11:57:44 PM) Nasturtium: "We need her. It was a clear solution."
(11:57:46 PM) Kuniko: "...you know, I can actually relate to what you said, Barzini...sort of."
(11:57:55 PM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal bumps head into cabin door, then ceiling, and makes an assortment of crashing noises while cursing like a sailor
(11:58:25 PM) Nasturtium: "Is she wrecking the place intentionally or accidentally?"
(11:58:51 PM) Nasturtium: (huh, in a level, I could raise Crystal's dad as a mohrg)
(11:58:53 PM) Kuniko: "Maybe a bit of both."
(11:59:15 PM) Barzini: (A murderous undead demonic puppet. Filled with tentacles.)
(11:59:25 PM) Nasturtium: (sounds awesome, doesn't it?)
(12:00:05 AM) Kuniko: ( Oh god XD )
(12:01:07 AM) Nasturtium: "Hey Crystal! I-...er, you know, it can wait..."
(12:02:14 AM) Barzini: "Guess it's up to me to keep an eye on the crew and not take so much time off. But..." he gets shimmering eyes of righteousness, "my poor vassal was recovering from surgery, and needed my care!"
(12:03:09 AM) Nasturtium: "Yep, and you weren't here to protect her in combat, so she died, and I had to sacrifice her dad to bring her back. So in a way, it's all your fault, Barz..."
(12:03:41 AM) Barzini: "Hey! But you said you WERE watching her back!"
(12:03:45 AM) Kuniko: "...that's a perspective to take."
(12:04:15 AM) Nasturtium: "Yep, right as the spear came through it, because you weren't there to stop it"
(12:05:30 AM) Barzini: "But... surgery... and I had to make sure she wasn't hacked by that nurse..."
(12:05:36 AM) Nasturtium: "I mean, she's *your* vassal."
(12:05:58 AM) Nasturtium: "So testing your new stapler is more important than your vassal? Wow. That's cold."
(12:06:06 AM) Nasturtium: "Don't you think so, Rammy?"
(12:06:08 AM) ***Barzini deadpans, "She was drunk when she said that."
(12:06:30 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> "And he doesn't even take her loyalty seriously!"
(12:07:18 AM) ***Barzini grumbles and heads off to Crystal's cabin.
(12:07:30 AM) Nasturtium: and <Rammy> "For shame, Barz... For shame..."
(12:07:42 AM) ***Kuniko heads back to her own cabin.
(12:08:10 AM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal has just finished sealing dad inside an amazingly ornate yet more than vaguely creepy shrine of harder-than-adamant never-melt ice in her now-to-small for her cabin
(12:08:26 AM) ***Nasturtium heads off to look over charts with Rammy for the Overlord's tower
(12:09:11 AM) Nasturtium: *Underlord
(12:09:17 AM) ***Barzini knocks. "Hey."
(12:10:10 AM) Mister_Cavern: The way to the Underworld is really simple: it just involves a trip to the Hermuda Triangle.
(12:10:13 AM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: The door's open...it won't close anymore
(12:10:33 AM) Sparkles: ((That name frightens me in an ill-defined manner)
(12:10:51 AM) ***Nasturtium gives the shipboard crew their new heading, and the night off while she loots the Sahuagin ship
(12:11:44 AM) Mister_Cavern: The Sahuagin ship pretty much has a bunch of stuff you'd expect of evildoers like them - chests full of money, for the most part. There's about...
(12:11:49 AM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 4d4
(12:11:49 AM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 4d4 : 7
(12:11:54 AM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 2d8
(12:11:55 AM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 2d8 : 5
(12:12:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: 35,000 Hell
(12:12:14 AM) ***Barzini enters. "Wow, he looks uh, mint condition."
(12:12:51 AM) ***Nasturtium pulls the Hell aboard, splitting it six ways and sending Rammy to distribute it,
(12:13:05 AM) Nasturtium: "Alright Bob, lets fuse with another ship."
(12:13:47 AM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal tries to stand up, hits her head on the ceiling again
(12:13:55 AM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal slumps down and starts to bawl
(12:13:57 AM) Barzini: (Is that 7k a piece? Or 5.8k counting Cham?)
(12:14:04 AM) Nasturtium: Rammy knocks on Crystal's Door
(12:14:04 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Aye-aye! Fusing away!"
(12:14:08 AM) Nasturtium: (counting Cham)
(12:14:13 AM) Barzini: ('k.)
(12:14:30 AM) Nasturtium: (though it's being held in escro pending his return)
(12:15:04 AM) ***Sparkles runs around through the engine room ensuring that the Ravid Reactor is prepared for fusion
(12:15:56 AM) Barzini: "Bad break. But it must be on the Captain's conscience if we're setting sail for necromantic secrets next."
(12:16:30 AM) Barzini: "Don't think that will fix your size though..."
(12:16:37 AM) ***Barzini scratches the back of his head.
(12:16:50 AM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: Like she even has a conscience!!!
(12:16:58 AM) Nasturtium: Rammy stands outside the open door
(12:16:59 AM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal sobs some more
(12:17:43 AM) ***Kuniko is busy with something. Probably either discplining Patiki or chatting with Mariko again.
(12:18:01 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> "She's just... weird. She was raised by 70 men who ran away from families, were widowers, or turned to a life at sea when they were kids." she says, leaning against the door
(12:19:16 AM) Barzini: "Well, hey, she said she did it because she needed you, right?"
Sorry, I accidentally closed window and missed 69 seconds
(12:20:25 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is a surge of spiral energy from the Ravid Reactor, and a flash of light... and the ship is now a bit bigger.
(12:20:29 AM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal continues sobbing
(12:21:17 AM) ***Kuniko steps out of her cabin as she notices something going on.
(12:21:22 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> sets a clinking bag of Hell down on Crystal's bed. "She never had a dad, go easy...ish on her."
(12:21:24 AM) Kuniko: "...what the hell happened?"
(12:21:50 AM) Nasturtium: "We fused with the Sahuagin ship"
(12:22:23 AM) Barzini: "Phew. Okay, you need time to think, and you need to get your mind off of this for a little while. First off, why don't we cover up this vacant empty stare..." he pulls up the nearest large fabric in Crystal's room and drapes it over the doll shrine. "...yeah, and then, I was going to invite Mariko to watch a video with me. You should come too. Stapler and Strawberry will be watching
(12:22:24 AM) Barzini: too!"
(12:23:04 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> stares at Barzini "Ok, I know I'm the ship, but you guys can see me, right?"
(12:24:02 AM) ***Barzini sweatdrops, "Rammy weren't you ganging up on me a little while ago?"
(12:24:59 AM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: What do you mean by ganging up....?
(12:25:09 AM) ***Kuniko walks back to the cabin, even though she happened to notice something happening in Crystal's room.
(12:25:19 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> "Meh, I follow the captain's lead. It's no one's fault Crystal got dropped, and it's clearly the Captain's fault her dad's dead.."
(12:26:04 AM) ***Sparkles gets back to the group. "Systems are stable again. I think. Not exploding right now, anyway."
(12:26:20 AM) Nasturtium: "That's good. I hear exploding's bad."
(12:26:36 AM) Sparkles: "You'd think that, but there are some who would disagree."
(12:26:40 AM) Barzini: "We were surrounded by sea dragons that day!-- however far back that was... I turn my back for one stinkin' minute and we have a casualty."
(12:27:37 AM) Nasturtium: Rammy crosses her arms, a buzzing sound growing in the room "Fuck, then maybe it is all your fault, Barzini, if you think you have to be there to look after all us women...."
(12:27:54 AM) ***Kuniko peeks out the door with a whip in hand as Sparkles made her announcement.
(12:28:13 AM) Kuniko: ( peeked * )
(12:28:30 AM) Barzini: "Well, I didn't... I... but... ugh, I don't know. But we're setting course to fix things now, okay?"
(12:28:34 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is a pathetic meowing sound coming from Kuniko's cabin, needless to say.
(12:28:55 AM) Kuniko: "What's that? Don't wanna play anymore? *Raepface* "
(12:29:03 AM) ***Larger_than_Life_Crystal wipes her eyes on the fabric now concealing dad
(12:29:10 AM) Larger_than_Life_Crystal: "A video you say?"
(12:30:00 AM) Barzini: "Yeah! It was pretty rare and expensive, but I know it'll totally be worth it."
(12:30:00 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> "I think the Captain's still planning on Sparkles raising Crystal's dad. Given that she can't do much else at the moment, and next level she can only turn him into a grotesque undead, and there's no point if he can be raised instead."
(12:30:07 AM) Barzini: "Later I'm gonna Item World it to get multiple angles and High Definition!"
(12:30:31 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> "You know you're worse than the Captain, right?"
(12:30:52 AM) ***Barzini grins at Rammy, "That is a subject of great debate among the crew."
(12:31:37 AM) ***Barzini asks nearby ghosts about Mariko's whereabouts, assuming she isn't participating in catgirl bondage fetish.
(12:31:50 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> "At least the Captain generally brings people in on the games, and she hasn't shown Kuniko's video to anyone. Or watched it."
(12:32:10 AM) Kuniko: ( What video? :I )
(12:32:27 AM) Nasturtium: (surgery)
(12:32:33 AM) Kuniko: ( Oh... )
(12:32:36 AM) Barzini: "Originally I was just gonna watch it with Mariko and show it to nobody else, but I think Crystal could use a distraction."
(12:32:37 AM) Nasturtium: (And ....pre surgery prep)
(12:33:32 AM) Barzini: "... okay and show it to Stapler too because how can you resist those cold, vacant eyes?"
(12:33:59 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> "Really? Cold vacant eyes does it?"
(12:34:08 AM) Mister_Cavern: Mariko is indeed helping her sister. Mostly she's using one of those long plants to tease Patiki's face
(12:34:19 AM) Nasturtium: Rammy stares at Barzini, her eyes glowing green "Gimme all your Hell?"
(12:34:51 AM) Mister_Cavern: (And if you think about it, why would she want to watch the examination of her own sister?)
(12:35:07 AM) Kuniko: "...I think this is enough for today." *She lets Patiki off, then turns to look at Mariko* "By the way, what's this video Barzini was talking about?"
(12:35:11 AM) Kuniko: ( Indeed... )
(12:35:17 AM) Kuniko: ( That does sound....weird. )
(12:35:24 AM) ***Barzini folds his arms at Rammy. "She's also a hard worker who is very time efficient, and not just a sexy android receptionist, she's the sexiest robot in the Netherworld."
(12:35:39 AM) Mister_Cavern: "I dunno, he didn't say."
(12:36:16 AM) Nasturtium: <Rammy> "Ah, you should ask the Captain what a hard worker I am. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm the sexiest ship in *any* world."
(12:37:02 AM) Kuniko: "I wouldn't trust him if I were you...and really, I wonder if this odd fetish thing will only get worse in time. *Slight panic* How will I explain all this to dad?!"
(12:37:21 AM) Nasturtium: (The captain could help...)
(12:37:48 AM) Kuniko: ( ...no. )
(12:37:56 AM) Mister_Cavern: And so, as they say it's one step forward, two steps back. Crystal has joined them again, but at what cost? And will her heart ever mend? What about the video exhibition? And finally, will the meeting with the Underlord all go smoothly, or are they looking at bumpy weather?
(12:38:21 AM) Mister_Cavern: Find out in the next exciting episode of Pretty Soldier Tengen Toppa Lyrical Friendship Punch!
(12:38:23 AM) Kuniko: ( Besides, would be pretty meta for Nast to know she talked with Mariko about that :/ )
(12:38:39 AM) Kuniko: ( Also, just read Punch as Pinch XD )
(12:38:43 AM) Kuniko is now known as Icyshadow

(12:39:02 AM) Nasturtium is now known as Prak
(12:39:20 AM) Koumei has changed the topic to: PRETTY SOLDIER TENGEN TOPPA LYRICAL FRIENDSHIP PUNCH 1/2

(12:39:36 AM) You are now known as rabid_schnauzer
(12:39:42 AM) Quantumboost: Er, correction, we need to do something that *warrants* doing that
(12:39:55 AM) Prak: *nod* I was joking
(12:40:08 AM) Iori: Barzini's reasoning for wanting to share with Mariko... mm, was gonna save the explanation for IC.
(12:40:12 AM) Koumei: I enjoyed this session - I could pretty much watch the fun unfold.
(12:40:19 AM) Icyshadow: =w=
(12:40:30 AM) Prak: but I do find it pretty funny that in one more level, we could Rez Crystal's dad or turn him into a Mohrg
(12:40:42 AM) Icyshadow: And now I wonder if Kuniko will manage to induce Stockholm's Syndrome on Patiki :U
(12:40:50 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Next week: USA is back on Daylight Sleep-Losing Time
(12:40:50 AM) Prak: and now you have something to plan around for next week
(12:40:55 AM) Prak: yep
(12:41:05 AM) Koumei: And we're back on normal time
(12:41:15 AM) Iori: Basically, the first time Barzini got to see 'em, it was because he walked in on Mariko fondling her, and then she tore the bust wrappings open.
(12:41:28 AM) Koumei: Aha
(12:41:38 AM) Prak: so, starting ~2 hours, 40 minutes from current time next week?
(12:41:47 AM) Iori: So, even though they've probably seen each other naked a whole bunch (or at least while younger??) he feels obligated to share the probe footage.
(12:42:02 AM) Koumei: Nah, I'll be here earlier, so pretty much "whenever everyone is here"
(12:42:08 AM) Prak: k
(12:42:49 AM) Koumei: Also Prak, I posted. At any rate, I'm going to have a nap now.
(12:42:57 AM) Icyshadow: Hmmm
(12:42:59 AM) Koumei: Thanks for showing up, doods
(12:42:59 AM) Prak: *nod* I saw, going to take a look
(12:43:02 AM) Icyshadow: And I will leave to rest
(12:43:03 AM) Icyshadow: See ya
(12:43:05 AM) Prak: thanks for MC'ing
(12:43:18 AM) Quantumboost: yep thank you ^_^

(12:44:22 AM) Iori: It's nice to play again.
(12:44:38 AM) rabid_schnauzer: hopefully I can manage with napping, but DST is gonna make this tricky with stupid early day job
(12:44:39 AM) Prak left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: Nightstar's Java Chat http://www.nightstar.net).
(12:45:05 AM) Iori: It's coming already? Bluh.
(1:34:48 AM) Iori: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj_inlzsDhQ <-- very belatedly, this is where Zombie Goth Crystal spent Hell.
"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."

FYI, may be latish this week due to new job interfering with the usual logistics this week. Probably will just be logging in via phone IRC prog though.

(9:21:21 PM) Prak: so, question: are gypsy/Irish Traveller elves offensive?
(9:21:54 PM) Iori: Is this in reference to whatshisface, in that thread about all the Tolkein races being racist?
(9:22:13 PM) Prak: more in reference to an idea for the campaign setting I'm working on
(9:22:30 PM) Prak: I'm just curious, it's one of those "I'm doing it anyway" things
(9:23:50 PM) Iori: They could be, but probably wouldn't be. Depicting something ethnic flavored in itself isn't offensive. Tight pigeonholing or too much negativity might be.
(9:23:59 PM) Prak: *nod*
(9:24:20 PM) Prak: had the idea this morning and looked into *why* the Roms were nomadic
(9:24:55 PM) Prak: so basically the setting now has Elves that were chased from their ancestral home forest just a bit too late to find a new homeland, because everything was claimed
(9:25:41 PM) Quantumboost: *resists urge to make joke about copies of game cartridges*
(9:26:48 PM) Iori: The "dwarves are racist against Scots" post was pretty lame.
(9:26:56 PM) Prak: so some went underground and found goblin deities, giving the setting goblinish-drow that like bugs in general, some turned to the seas, giving gentleman thief/lovable rogue elf pirates, and some just roam around the land
(9:26:58 PM) Prak: yeah
(9:27:06 PM) Prak: I put him on ignore after that
(9:27:12 PM) Iori: Dwarves aren't depicted as hairy beefy heavy drinkers because they're Scots. They're depicted that way because they're MANLY
(9:27:28 PM) Iori: And elves are going to be mystics no matter what part of the world they're depicting
(9:27:40 PM) Prak: eh, claiming they're scottish is missing a lot of other pieces.
(9:27:53 PM) Iori: Exactly
(9:27:59 PM) Prak: they're jewish scotch vikings that live underground. At least.
(9:29:08 PM) GX: "dwarves are racist against Scots" <-- PL?
(9:29:11 PM) Iori: They are every stout bearded man ever, and the pseudo-Scottish accent thing was trendy.
(9:29:14 PM) Prak: JE
(9:29:16 PM) GX: Ah
(9:29:16 PM) Koumei: >They're depicted that way because they're MANLY
(9:29:24 PM) Prak: lol.
(9:29:25 PM) Koumei: No wonder I hate dwarfs
(9:29:26 PM) Iori: Who was-- ah, I thought JE, but couldn't remember, that was motnhs ago.
(9:29:26 PM) Prak: yep.
(9:30:05 PM) Iori: Dwarves pile on macho stereotypes, yes. They have muscle and beards and they love the hardest stuff they can drink.
(9:30:20 PM) Koumei: Also, let's play a game called "Guess how much prep I did for this session"
(9:30:27 PM) Iori: Uh oh
(9:30:29 PM) Prak: Giant Impractical Beards? Check. Giant Impractical Axes, Picks and Hammers? Check. Lots and Lots of Beer? Check.
(9:30:31 PM) Koumei: Your first guess is probably wrong
(9:30:45 PM) Prak: is it none? my first guess is none.
(9:30:54 PM) Quantumboost: All of it?
(9:31:09 PM) Quantumboost: 100%?
(9:32:22 PM) Koumei: Okay, the answer is "Some. There's stuff planned out, depending on what you guys want to do. Including some statted enemies and the like."
(9:34:04 PM) Iori: We were last headed for the Underlord I think, and presumably somewhere along the way we're gonna hit the Dark Assembly, as well as find out who this netherworld's Overlord is (although I guess Barzini already would know, since he had issues with the OL while in the navy?)
(9:34:54 PM) Prak: I mean, it's like someone designed the look of dwarves and said "Ok, now what is the most impractical environment for these guys?" or planned a world niche and said "Ok, what's the least practical look for someone who lives in mines and forges shit?"
(9:36:13 PM) Koumei: Iori: it's common knowledge that the Overlord has disappeared or possibly been killed. That's why everything is a mess.
(9:36:28 PM) Iori: oic
(9:38:35 PM) Prak: yeah, now I remember
(9:38:48 PM) Quantumboost left the room (quit: Ping timeout: 121 seconds).

(10:06:21 PM) Iori: Good morning icy.
(10:06:32 PM) icyshadow: Hello
(10:06:38 PM) icyshadow: My comp is glitching out on me.
(10:09:18 PM) icyshadow: I'll restart the laptop and see if things start working again.
(10:09:30 PM) icyshadow left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- The alternative IRC client).
(10:11:40 PM) icyshadow [icyshadow@Nightstar-547dd3cc.elisa-laajakaista.fi] entered the room.
(10:14:10 PM) Iori: Oh right, so as I was saying earlier, underlord and DA. The latter means I'll have to redo my stats.
(10:15:53 PM) Koumei: O-kaaaay
(10:16:07 PM) Koumei: So, do you guys want to hit the Underlord or the Dark Assembly first?
(10:16:13 PM) Prak: Underlord
(10:16:49 PM) Iori: Whichever the MC is most prepared for. Admittedly, DA right now might take me by surprise.
(10:17:29 PM) Iori: I vaguely now that Barz wants to be all-powerful (lolol) and that he might try and see if the vassal wants a Rename.
(10:17:32 PM) Iori: *know
(10:17:37 PM) icyshadow: Heh
(10:17:56 PM) Koumei: Okay then
(10:18:08 PM) Koumei is now known as Mister_Cavern
(10:18:16 PM) Mister_Cavern: Only took me three attempts to get the name right
(10:18:57 PM) icyshadow is now known as Kuniko
(10:19:06 PM) Mister_Cavern has changed the topic to: PRETTY REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIER GIRL TENGEN TOPPA LYRICAL FRIENDSHIP PUNCH 1/2
(10:19:50 PM) Prak is now known as Nasturtium
(10:19:51 PM) Iori is now known as Barzini
(10:20:14 PM) Quantumboost is now known as Sparkles
(10:23:12 PM) Barzini: (...I apparetly made an error and Barz's CHA is actually 24.)
(10:23:12 PM) Mister_Cavern: So when we last left off, the team had just suffered terrible drama: Crystal had been temporarily raised from the dead... and then permanently raised when Nasturtium murdered her (Crystal's) father. The time of weeping has begun, but already there is hope!
(10:24:09 PM) Barzini: (or not, duhh)
(10:24:20 PM) Barzini: (It was 23 after all.)
(10:24:36 PM) Mister_Cavern: As now the party is on the way to the Hermuda Triangle so that they can travel to the Underworld and persuade the Underlord to return him to life - even as EvilCorp Pty Ltd PLC etc is on the move, increasing its holdings, the party is busy bringing an NPC back from the dead!
(10:24:47 PM) Mister_Cavern: And furthermore, Crystal is now super-sized!
(10:27:02 PM) ***Nasturtium tries to get over the strange feeling in the pit of her stomach, (gilt? was that it? But what did gold have to do with pain?) in the only way she knows how: Rolling in money, drinking, and getting a "backrub" from Rammy
(10:28:59 PM) ***Barzini invites Mariko to watch the video, deciding to just make it she and Crystal in on this. ... private screening with Stapler at another time.
(10:29:43 PM) Mister_Cavern: Mariko declines when she finds out what the video is about, pointing out that she doesn't like her sister in that way - they're not twins, after all.
(10:30:30 PM) ***Kuniko continues chatting with Mariko after Barzini leaves. "Did you hear what happened to Crystal, by the way?"
(10:30:38 PM) Kuniko: ( Gossip much? :U )
(10:30:59 PM) Barzini: "Oh... okay, I guess just me and Crystal sometime."
(10:31:26 PM) Mister_Cavern: "I hear she got killed, and came back as a giant, right?" (chatter chatter)
(10:32:03 PM) Kuniko: "Yup. Though the captain had to kill her father to bring her back...can you believe that?"
(10:32:54 PM) Mister_Cavern: "...I wouldn't put anything past the captain."
(10:33:34 PM) Mister_Cavern: The oceans, however, are not as calm as one might think. Wait, no, they're as calm as you think: not at all. Even as you approach the stormy zone of the Hermuda Triangle, there appears to be danger on the horizon - lightning crashes against the water, vortexes swirl...
(10:33:40 PM) Kuniko: "Good point. Anyway, did anyone say where the ship was heading this time?"
(10:33:44 PM) Kuniko: "I forgot."
(10:34:32 PM) Mister_Cavern: And a head on a long, slender neck rises up in the distance, eyes gleaming with intelligence and evil as a dread sea monster approaches...
(10:35:02 PM) ***Barzini asks Stapler about what name she would like to go by if she could be renam-- "What the heck is that!?"
(10:35:18 PM) Mister_Cavern: The team's helpful Card Shark shouts out to them, "HEY, DANGEROUS CREATURE ABOUT A MILE OFF!"
(10:35:42 PM) ***Nasturtium pulls her head from it's resting place "What the fuck!?"
(10:36:03 PM) Mister_Cavern: If anyone wants to scan the horizon and see it, they can make a Know: Nature check to identify the sea monster
(10:36:10 PM) Sparkles: "ARM THE POKECANNONS!"
(10:36:21 PM) Barzini: (Only gots Planes.)
(10:36:22 PM) Mister_Cavern: They can also make a Spot check to notice anything special about it
(10:36:32 PM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+13 Spot

(10:37:35 PM) Mister_Cavern: Barzini notices that it has some kind of flag attached to its neck, whipping about in the winds. It's hard to make out what's on the flag though - until Kuniko sees that it's a pitchfork and bottle... with a skull. MERCHANT PIRATES ARE APPROACHING
(10:37:36 PM) Nasturtium: !dice 1d20+10 Rammy's K Nature

(10:38:14 PM) Mister_Cavern: Rammy and Cohort both recognise the creature in question: it's an elasmasaurus
(10:38:55 PM) ***Nasturtium runs to the deck, hastily pulling her corset back on, "Wait, what?"
(10:39:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: How close do you want to wait before attacking? It's currently about a mile away, which is beyond the range of enemy weapons as well as your own
(10:39:37 PM) Nasturtium: hmm... I want more info on Merchant Pirates...
(10:39:37 PM) Kuniko: "...we had cannons on this ship, right?"
(10:39:46 PM) Nasturtium: "yes, yes we do."
(10:40:07 PM) ***Barzini is on the deck leaning against the rail alongside Stapler, watching the sea monster approach.
(10:40:33 PM) Mister_Cavern: Merchant Pirates are pirates that are also merchants (Mana Fusionists, Blacksmiths, Vending Machine Operators, Titlists, Mana Alchemists, that sort of thing)
(10:40:34 PM) Barzini: * Stapler now wearing the fancy coat and cravat now that she fits into demon clothes.
(10:40:56 PM) Mister_Cavern: In the same way that Prinny Pirates are pirates that are prinnies, and Z Pirates are pirates with big spiky hair, glowing auras and they stand on clouds
(10:41:55 PM) You are now known as Crystal
(10:41:56 PM) Barzini: "Merchant pirates? So do they steal stuff and then sell it? Or do they sell stuff and then steal it back?"
(10:41:58 PM) Nasturtium: "Um... ok then... I suppose we can wait til they fire first. Wait... what am I saying? Fire as soon as we're in range! But try not to harm the stock..."
(10:43:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: So, what cannons are you firing? The regular "solid ball hits with massive impact" kind, or some kind of spellcannon, or the shells full of weird chemicals you got before?
(10:43:06 PM) Kuniko: "Shouldn't be too hard. Once it gets close enough, I'll just blast it then."
(10:43:50 PM) Nasturtium: ooh! ooh! the weird chemicals!
(10:43:51 PM) ***Sparkles narrates "USE THE CHEMICALS"
(10:43:55 PM) Barzini: (Oh yeah, what were those rounds we got from the sex factory filled with?)
(10:44:21 PM) Kuniko: ( Aphrodisiacs? )
(10:44:36 PM) Mister_Cavern: Well there are four different ones: pink, purple, blue and yellow
(10:44:52 PM) Nasturtium: "Fire the pink chemicals!"
(10:46:21 PM) Mister_Cavern: Once the foes are only a few hundred feet away, the cannon fires. There is a loud BOOM, and then another BOOM! FWOOSH! as the shell bursts open when it hits the water, spraying a cloud of pink powder and gas...
(10:46:39 PM) Kuniko: "I wonder what that will do..."
(10:46:40 PM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d20+9 Reflexosaurus
(10:46:40 PM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20+9 Reflexosaurus : (12) 21
(10:47:03 PM) ***Barzini has Stapler use her Detect Magic scanner on the cloud, for some idea of what that round is supposed to do.
(10:47:17 PM) Mister_Cavern: The Elasmosaurus manages to swerve in such a way that although it gets a face full of it, the people on its back can attempt to dodge without falling in the water...
(10:47:59 PM) Mister_Cavern: And it automatically passes its Fort save against the effects, shaking them off completely. Detect Magic: Enchantment [Charm, Compulsion]
(10:48:39 PM) Barzini: "Hmmm... this promises to be profitable.
(10:48:57 PM) Mister_Cavern: Huh, and the pirates are all agile enough that they do indeed keep low, automatically passing and letting the cloud disippate harmlessly. One hundred feet away now, and you can see there are three of them:
(10:49:13 PM) Nasturtium: "Fire again!"
(10:50:23 PM) Mister_Cavern: A sort of old man with grey robes and grey hair, yet he seems kind of [Cool]. An incredibly [Cute] red-headed nekomata who is glowing with mana power. And a fairly [Hungry] human girl in dainty pretty clothes.
(10:51:19 PM) Mister_Cavern: Kafwoosh! This time it's the... Purple one!
(10:51:30 PM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d20+9 Reflexosaurus
(10:51:31 PM) Yuffie: Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20+9 Reflexosaurus : (15) 24
(10:51:59 PM) Mister_Cavern: Again, though, it swerves and they're all safe. How troublesome! The human girl looks even hungrier though, and now they're just fifty feet away.
(10:52:00 PM) ***Barzini has the bestest vassal scan the purple blasts as well.
(10:52:22 PM) Mister_Cavern: Scan: Transmutation
(10:52:24 PM) Nasturtium: "Greetings, Merchant pirates! Surrender now and you will only be molested! ...except you, old man... not sure what we'll do with you."
(10:52:39 PM) ***Barzini makes a face at that. "Transmutation? I can only wonder..."
(10:54:06 PM) ***Kuniko prepares to throw a fire bolt at the nearest of the three that happens to enter the ship.
(10:54:29 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Ha!" the man shouts, "I think the shoe is very much on the other aunt there!" And he levels a finger at Nasturtium, who gets to attempt a DC 19 Will Save
(10:55:03 PM) ***Crystal 'apares to be boarded
(10:55:25 PM) Nasturtium: !dice 1d20+6
(10:55:25 PM) Yuffie: Nasturtium : Result of 1d20+6 : (6) 12
(10:55:30 PM) Nasturtium: (damnit)
(10:55:31 PM) ***Barzini looks at the nekomata, then to Stapler, then to the human, then back to Stapler, and shrugs. "I'll take the old man if he's powerful."
(10:55:59 PM) Mister_Cavern: Nasturtium feels her title change. She is now [Boring]. Her colour scheme changes to very muted, dull tones.
(10:56:04 PM) Barzini: "But if he's weak, I already have the best vassals!"
(10:56:35 PM) Mister_Cavern: The effect is a -3 penalty to Charisma, and losing access to all Charm/Dominate effects she has.
(10:56:51 PM) Nasturtium: ack, crap
(10:56:53 PM) Barzini: "Captain you okay?"
(10:56:55 PM) Sparkles: "I didn't know you were into that, Barzini..."
(10:57:14 PM) Nasturtium: "er... I... guess?"
(10:57:27 PM) Mister_Cavern: And the others seem ready too - the cat giggles, and there is a crackle of electricity, even as the girl pulls out a sort of spiked ball of some kind. And this makes it officially the Ninja'd round.
(10:57:40 PM) Mister_Cavern: Nasturtium, roll Initiative, there is another ninja present
(10:57:55 PM) Nasturtium: !dice 1d20+5

(10:59:40 PM) Mister_Cavern: The other ninja turns out to be mister Titlist over there. "Hahaha! Yes, very boring, captain. And you!" He points to Kuniko. "You're way too busty. Not for long!" (Will Save DC 19)
(11:00:36 PM) Barzini: "Eh!?"
(11:01:01 PM) Kuniko: !dice 1d20+11
(11:01:01 PM) Yuffie: Kuniko : Result of 1d20+11 : (5) 16
(11:01:05 PM) Kuniko: ( Fuck. )
(11:01:13 PM) Kuniko: "What?!"
(11:01:57 PM) Mister_Cavern: Kuniko is now [Flat]. She is perpetually flat-footed (denied Dex to AC, enemies don't provoke AoOs off her) and anyone can move through her space as though it were unoccupied
(11:02:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: Nasturtium, go!
(11:02:17 PM) Barzini: "Those fiends!"
(11:02:42 PM) ***Crystal blinks audibly
(11:02:44 PM) Sparkles: "Where is he getting all these titles from!?!?!?!"
(11:02:58 PM) Mister_Cavern: (From Phantom Brave!)

(11:12:42 PM) Mister_Cavern: And the Fusionist cat giggles, activating her Fighting Style and hurling a lightning bolt at Barzini - she doesn't feel up to jumping on board yet, given the ship is higher than the dinosaur. Ref 1/2 DC 19

(12:21:29 AM) Nasturtium: AoO too
(12:21:39 AM) Crystal: !dice 2d8+21 slashing and
(12:21:40 AM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 2d8+21 slashing and : 27
(12:21:49 AM) Crystal: !dice 1d6+8 cold
(12:21:49 AM) Yuffie: Crystal : Result of 1d6+8 cold : 14
(12:21:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: Oh right, Ninjas can do that
(12:21:58 AM) Nasturtium: yes, yes they can
(12:22:12 AM) Nasturtium: It's ok, Koum. I forget what my classes can do too.
(12:22:25 AM) ***Crystal (( knows the feeling ))
(12:22:34 AM) Mister_Cavern: The drill connects!
(12:22:54 AM) Nasturtium: !dice 1d6+10 plus Entangle!
(12:22:54 AM) Yuffie: Nasturtium : Result of 1d6+10 plus Entangle! : 15
(12:23:19 AM) Nasturtium: (DC = attack roll)
(12:23:47 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is a terrible shredding moment, and the alchemist falls to the ground with a thump.
(12:23:47 AM) Barzini: (how many feet above is our buff MA?)
(12:23:55 AM) Barzini: (Ok 0)
(12:23:59 AM) Mister_Cavern: hahaha, yep
(12:24:08 AM) ***Crystal uses swift to reactivate monk style then
(12:24:08 AM) Mister_Cavern: Only the cat remains awake
(12:24:36 AM) Barzini: (oh right I was getting them mixed up.)
(12:24:40 AM) ***Crystal is done, go
(12:25:01 AM) Barzini: (distance to killer nekomata?)
(12:25:19 AM) Mister_Cavern: About 15 feet?
(12:25:24 AM) Barzini: (perfect.)
(12:27:08 AM) ***Barzini uses the Succubus Tamer's reach to wrap it around the nekomata's legs and bring her down.

(12:27:40 AM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+4 STR if that connected : (13) 17

(12:28:21 AM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+8 touch, part II
(12:28:21 AM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+8 touch, part II : (4) 12
(12:28:38 AM) Barzini: "Geez!"
(12:28:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: Needless to say, she avoids it again
(12:29:12 AM) Kuniko: "...troublesome."
(12:29:13 AM) Mister_Cavern: The Mana Alchemist spends her turn bleeding... Kuniko! One opponent left!
(12:29:27 AM) ***Kuniko decides to throw two firebolts at the last one standing

(12:30:04 AM) Kuniko: ( Two 1's in the same session? Jesus. )
(12:30:40 AM) Mister_Cavern: Alas, she's a complete monk and avoids being harmed at all. (Also, do you really have no Dex bonus to add to your firebolt attack rolls?)
(12:31:20 AM) Mister_Cavern: This means it's up to Sparkles to save the day! Because this cat doesn't look to be in the mood to surrender.
(12:31:29 AM) Kuniko: ( ...wait. )
(12:31:45 AM) Kuniko: ( Those two would be +12 and +7 then )
(12:32:21 AM) Barzini: (That makes the second one 20 then.)
(12:32:23 AM) Mister_Cavern: So the second one is 20? That will hit the cat's touch AC
(12:34:03 AM) Mister_Cavern: Roll damage~
(12:35:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: ...has the shock of hitting stunned icy? Or is internet being a derp again?
(12:36:14 AM) Barzini: (icy pings, must be the former.)
(12:36:31 AM) Kuniko: ( Hmm? )
(12:36:36 AM) Mister_Cavern: You hit. Roll damage
(12:36:54 AM) Kuniko: !dice 9d6+2
(12:36:54 AM) Yuffie: Kuniko : Result of 9d6+2 : 39
(12:37:34 AM) Mister_Cavern: That one bolt of flame is almost enough to take the cat out on its own! It's leaving her very injured, so can Sparkles deal the finishing blast?
(12:38:47 AM) ***Sparkles casts Searing Light!
(12:39:02 AM) Mister_Cavern: !dice 1d20+15 Reflexivity

(12:39:47 AM) Sparkles: !dice 4d8 light damage
(12:39:47 AM) Yuffie: Sparkles : Result of 4d8 light damage : 22
(12:40:10 AM) ***Sparkles can do that twice more if need be.
(12:40:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: There is a bright burst of light... and then the cat falls over, a bit crispy.
(12:41:06 AM) Barzini: "Whewww... who the hell were they?"
(12:41:27 AM) Crystal: They were [cool], [cute] and [hungry] !
(12:41:31 AM) ***Nasturtium floats down to the deck. "Merchants. Someone get the titlist from the water."
(12:41:52 AM) Mister_Cavern: So... the cat and alchemist are just out cold. The elasmosaurus is currently shark food, and the titlist has sunk to the ocean floor and drowned.
(12:42:05 AM) ***Barzini calls for Johnny to get back here and do that since the fear should have worn off a little while ago.
(12:42:31 AM) ***Barzini starts frisking the nekomata for her equipment.
(12:42:32 AM) Mister_Cavern: It takes a little while, but Johnny eventually drags the soaking carcass up onto the deck.
(12:43:10 AM) ***Crystal frisks the alchemist for cheesecake
(12:43:12 AM) ***Nasturtium grabs the MA and loots the body
(12:43:44 AM) Kuniko: ( Hmmm... )
(12:44:01 AM) Kuniko: "I wonder where they came from."
(12:44:05 AM) Mister_Cavern: Titlist: Int Booster, Con Booster, Dex Booster, Flaming Katana, Deflector; Fusionist: Str Booster, Dex Booster, Wis Booster, Magic Socks of Mirror Images (1/round max 4), Deflector; Alchemist: Int Boost, Dex Boost, Con Boost, Magic Armour, Deflector
(12:44:06 AM) Mister_Cavern: Also...
(12:44:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: The following alchemical items: Bread, Green Tea, Powerful Acid, Chocolate, Chocolate Cake, Carrot Cake, Geisha Tea, Glacier Solution, Dynamite
(12:44:58 AM) Mister_Cavern: All liquids are in flasks
(12:45:09 AM) ***Barzini snags the fusionist's DEX booster, whatever it may be.
(12:45:26 AM) Mister_Cavern: And finally, between the three of them, they have about 6,000 Hell
(12:45:40 AM) Mister_Cavern: The Dex Booster is probably a pair of shoes or gloves, or maybe a headband... or something
(12:46:29 AM) ***Barzini equips them to ITEM6 regardless.
(12:46:45 AM) Mister_Cavern: indeed
(12:46:55 AM) ***Nasturtium looks at all her equipment "I really need to learn how to fuse items..."
(12:47:42 AM) Nasturtium: "hm...."
(12:47:50 AM) ***Barzini takes the nekomata while he's at it, useful and apparently super powerful.
(12:48:06 AM) Sparkles: "May I have the Fusionist as a minion? I've got some ideas I'd like to implement..."
(12:48:52 AM) Barzini: "Eeeh? Can we share her crazy fusion powers at least?"
(12:49:01 AM) ***Nasturtium tries to fuse the Mightly Gauntlet and her sticky tape wings into the Mighty Wing Pack and Gauntlet
(12:49:26 AM) Sparkles: "Oh sure, I'm totally okay with borrowing out my minions to you guys for their powers."
(12:50:05 AM) Mister_Cavern: (For the record, I already deleted their statlines. Also, they can't fuse items in an actual assymetric-power-gaining sort of way, only in the sense of fusing enemies together and the like)
(12:50:25 AM) Barzini: "Got anybody powerful to trade by chance, Sparkles?"
(12:50:33 AM) ***Crystal nabs the chocolate items and a con-booster
(12:50:44 AM) Kuniko: "Nothing of interest."
(12:50:46 AM) Sparkles: "I don't exactly have many minions. I've got a bunch of low-level robots and my cohort."
(12:51:16 AM) Sparkles: "And Pokemon that aren't exactly under control held by said cohort."
(12:51:52 AM) Nasturtium: (so no fusing together multiple ability boosters?)
(12:52:04 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Exactly)
(12:52:18 AM) Nasturtium: (damn.)
(12:52:28 AM) Sparkles: ((Gonna make so many Bearlociraptors))
(12:52:47 AM) Mister_Cavern: Chocolate Cake grants 45 Temp HP and Fast Healing 1 for 1 minute, and causes the Sickened condition for that minute. Chocolate grants a +4 Morale bonus to all saving throws except saves against its own addictiveness, and +4 to beat SR. But has a chance of addiction
(12:52:58 AM) Mister_Cavern: Also it's highly toxic to Animals and Magical Beasts
(12:53:12 AM) Barzini: "Those robot maids? Hmm, if Stapler can reprogram them to help her work faster... okay, deal! Pass a couple of them over to Stapler later. And be careful with this fusionist, I was actually kind of nervous about holding her like this. Never know what she'll try when she wakes up."
(12:53:37 AM) Sparkles: "They're warrior robots, but sure, reprogramming should be easy. It's NPC classes."
(12:53:48 AM) ***Barzini examines Carrot Cake and Dynamite more closely.
(12:53:55 AM) Nasturtium: (I really hate the 8 item limit... or at least the "weapons count" part, lol.)
(12:55:01 AM) ***Sparkles spins the Love Shot on her finger before pulling away the fusionist with her other hand "...and I'm not terribly worried about her being unfriendly when she wakes up..."
(12:55:31 AM) Mister_Cavern: Carrot Cake grants 9d4 HP of healing, and Dynamite explodes in a 30' radius for 45 Fire/Sonic damage, Ref 1/2 - if you attempt the save and fail, you are knocked Prone and Dazed 1 round.
(12:56:45 AM) ***Barzini takes the dynamite. "Today's your lucky day, Emergency Cannonball."
(12:57:09 AM) Mister_Cavern: Even as you all loot the items from the pirates who failed to rob you, the ship keeps sailing on into the Hermuda Triangle, towards the central vortex. Soon, very soon, you are going to be pulled towards the Underworld, and who knows what awaits you in that land of the dead?
(12:57:28 AM) Crystal: uh, probably the dead
(12:58:04 AM) Nasturtium: And necromantic knowledge
(12:58:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: Tune in for previews of next episode: <Crystal> Give me my father back! <Seedle> Hahaha! Or what, little girl? <Crystal> Uh... little? I'm twice your height.
(12:58:19 AM) Sparkles: And HUGE tracts of land!
(12:58:28 AM) Mister_Cavern: <Nasturtium> I'm pregnant, and Yugi's the father!
(12:58:55 AM) Nasturtium: ... Yugi's part bee now?
(12:59:14 AM) Kuniko: Bees, my god.
(12:59:27 AM) Mister_Cavern: <Seedle> You fools, do you know what you have done? <Sparkles> No? <Seedle> Don't play dumb with me! <Sparkles> ...I'm not playing.
(12:59:57 AM) Mister_Cavern: What does all this mean? Tune in next week for the next exciting episode of Pretty Revolutionary Soldier Girl Tengen Toppa Lyrical Friendship Punch 1/2!
(1:00:17 AM) Kuniko is now known as Icy
(1:00:18 AM) Barzini is now known as Iori
(1:00:22 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Alas I had to call an end early (didn't think the fight would last so long) as I need to go collect things)
(1:00:25 AM) Icy: Well, I'm heading to bed.
(1:00:25 AM) Mister_Cavern is now known as Koumei

(1:00:33 AM) You are now known as rabid_schnauzer
(1:00:39 AM) Icy left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- Now with extra fish!).
(1:00:45 AM) Prak: no worries, I shouldn't stay up much later, either.
(1:00:55 AM) Sparkles is now known as Quantumboost
(1:00:59 AM) Quantumboost: I helped!
(1:01:04 AM) rabid_schnauzer: that's why I napped first
(1:01:35 AM) Prak: I wish napping helped...
(1:01:54 AM) Iori: Napping's a roulette.
(1:02:10 AM) rabid_schnauzer: with this stupid early day job, it's the only option
(1:02:11 AM) Prak: it's not about being tired, it's about having to get up early
(1:02:29 AM) Iori: Wake up during a shallow sleep stage and you feel great. Wake up during a deep sleep stage and feel like groggy sluggish shit.
(1:02:38 AM) Prak: *nod*
(1:02:47 AM) Koumei: Anyway, thank you all for playing, I look forward to what happens next
(1:03:10 AM) Iori: It was fun, but even with our poor dice rolls aside, those merchants had some pretty big numbers attached.
(1:03:19 AM) rabid_schnauzer: They were all Dex
(1:03:50 AM) Prak: I'm heading out, see you guys next week. And cham is a badger dick
(1:03:59 AM) Iori: See ya Prak.
(1:04:02 AM) rabid_schnauzer: night Prak
(1:04:03 AM) Koumei: later Prak
(1:04:24 AM) Koumei: Yeah, they were all level 9 like you guys, and having Monks and Ninjas can make enemies a real pain to hit, as it turns out
(1:04:27 AM) Prak: night guys
(1:04:39 AM) Prak left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: Nightstar's Java Chat http://www.nightstar.net).
(1:04:48 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Really all it takes is non-reflex save effects
(1:04:59 AM) rabid_schnauzer: Or abilities that deny dex bonus
"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 propose we make mana alchemist the ship's cook. Even if the crew won't be fed such strong HP restoring desserts, they'd still be getting food not normally found on pirate ships.

Heads up, I'm going to be late to/absent from game tonight, my mom want's to have dinner out with my dad and I, and, being a college student, I never turn down free food.

If we actually get to the underlord or whatever he was called, Nast would just rummage through his library/torture knowledge out of him, more or less.

(10:25:19 PM) Iori: Escorting them around to show them the horrors of what we have done to their kind so they can rage harder?
(10:25:59 PM) Iori: <Big Daddy> *waves horde onto party's ship* *points at zombie chained to Nasturtium's bed* AAAAAAAAARRRRRGH!!!
(10:27:07 PM) Iori: Maybe it's better Prak doesn't have to fight Big Daddy, considering he can shamble slowly at the front of a large wave of zombies and conspicuously never get shot in the head while others around him do, only taking bullets to the body.
(10:28:46 PM) Iori: So anyway yeah I'm all for loot and undead chicks.

(10:52:24 PM) ***Crystal looks around for last episode summary
(10:53:40 PM) Mister_Cavern: When last we left off, the party enslaved a bunch of pirates who tried attacking them, and looted all their stuff quite happily
(10:55:59 PM) Mister_Cavern: They then sailed into the Hermuda Triangle, and even now are trapped in the vortex
(10:56:08 PM) Kuniko: ( I fail to recall who enslaved which one )
(10:56:20 PM) ***Kuniko is probably still in her own cabin.
(10:56:35 PM) Barzini: (Nast claimed the MA, Sparkles traded me some killer robots for the fusionist.)
(10:56:40 PM) ***Sparkles took the Nekomata Fusionist for SCIENCE
(10:57:47 PM) ***Barzini tries asking the new crew members about what they know about the Triangle.
(10:58:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: The ship starts to move in circles, moving closer and closer to the centre of the vortex as it is pulled lower and lower, spinning rapidly until...
(10:59:01 PM) Mister_Cavern: You are not underwater. You'd think that's where the destination would be, but no. The ship now rests upon a shore of black sand and bone fragments. Merely a few hundred feet away is a giant fortress carved from bone. The Underworld. The land of the dead.
(10:59:18 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Uh... mostly it leads to other planes and stuff." "I think monsters come from there a lot."
(10:59:42 PM) Barzini: "So we can get back, right?"
(11:00:12 PM) Mister_Cavern: "I dunno, probably?"
(11:00:45 PM) Crystal: I hope so, that spinny ride was fun!
(11:01:10 PM) ***Barzini sweatdrops and tries scoping out the bone fort. From the ship.
(11:01:42 PM) ***Kuniko steps out from the cabin, noticing the new landscape
(11:01:47 PM) Kuniko: "...well, that can't be good."
(11:02:25 PM) Mister_Cavern: There is a giant double-gate in the shape of a ribcage, and immense spines of... spines... reach up skywards. There are two Pump-Kin at the gate, presumably standing guard. They are holding shovels as though they were axes.
(11:02:44 PM) Sparkles: "The Positive Energy from the Spiral Reactor Core will shield the ship and crew from any adverse effects of being here. On that note..."
(11:03:24 PM) ***Sparkles flares her Death Ward to protect the team
(11:03:35 PM) Crystal: You're the best Sparkles
(11:03:59 PM) Barzini: "Looks like we're where we need to be. Hopefully there isn't anything ugly under the sand. Hey Mana Alchemist, you know how to make pizza? Make that when we get back."
(11:05:10 PM) Crystal: Why are we here again?
(11:05:25 PM) Barzini: "We're here to find a way to bring your father back to life."
(11:05:33 PM) Crystal: Oh right,right
(11:06:14 PM) ***Barzini murmurs, "Good she got over her trauma so quickly..."
(11:06:29 PM) Kuniko: "I think we'd need to say our prayers in advance in case we end up dead as well."
(11:08:35 PM) ***Barzini flies toward the bone fort, Johnny also flying over the dark sands.
(11:08:47 PM) Crystal: Hey wait!
(11:08:50 PM) ***Crystal follows
(11:08:55 PM) Barzini: "Wha?
(11:08:56 PM) Barzini: "
(11:09:26 PM) Mister_Cavern: For any who walk, the dark sand doesn't hurt them thanks to the death ward. At any rate, the Pump Kin stare almost lifelessly at the party, just waiting for them to approach and engage in conversation and/or violence. Or maybe interpretive dance, who knows.
(11:10:00 PM) ***Kuniko decides to fly after the others
(11:11:10 PM) ***Barzini addresses one of the guards. "So what's going on, Jack? Get much traffic this way?"
(11:11:15 PM) ***Sparkles walks up to them and bows politely. "Greetings, gentlemen. We are here to retrieve information regarding the restoration of those residing here to the land of the living and one such person in particular. Can you provide assistance in this endeavour?"
(11:13:12 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Very little traffick such as yourselves." the first one says. "...those with return tickets, he means."
(11:13:18 PM) ***Crystal wonders idly if they're related to Mr. Pumpkinhead
(11:14:17 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Hmm. Some people do make a return once dead, that is true. However that is not in our power, nor part of our responsibility. You will need to talk to Underlord Seedle about that." "He... will need some convincing, I imagine."
(11:15:43 PM) Barzini: "What's the Underlord like?"
(11:15:52 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Our boss." they shrug.
(11:16:01 PM) Barzini: "So we can walk through?"
(11:16:12 PM) Sparkles: "Hm. Could you direct us to where we might meet him?"
(11:16:53 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Yes, you are allowed in. You know the drill, no violence or disturbing the peace. City of Skulls leads to his personal tower, or if you want to be more discreet you can go via the slurks, but there are... monsters there.
(11:17:22 PM) Mister_Cavern: The ribcage silently swings open, and the only noise is the quiet screech of flying skulls in the distance.
(11:17:50 PM) Sparkles: "Thank you."
(11:18:03 PM) ***Sparkles goes through the gates
(11:18:07 PM) ***Barzini and Johnny head on through.
(11:18:16 PM) Crystal: Hrm....should we be skreet or disskreet?
(11:19:22 PM) Barzini: "The pumpkins seem friendly enough. Skreet?"
(11:19:38 PM) Kuniko: "Skreet sounds fine for once."
(11:20:55 PM) Sparkles: "Agreed."
(11:21:12 PM) Crystal: Then lets look around for a city of skulls
(11:22:23 PM) Kuniko: "Doesn't sound like something that'd be too hard to find."
(11:24:42 PM) Mister_Cavern: Indeed, that is the simplest way: forward.
(11:25:54 PM) Mister_Cavern: There are giant cages, made from bones (mostly interwoven spinal cords), with lost souls, floating screeching skulls, flying about inside, occasionally bumping against the cages and each other. The path leads between these cages, with a few other paths branching out to houses, stores and graveyards.
(11:27:17 PM) Crystal: The decor is neat, but that screeching gets annoying
(11:27:35 PM) Kuniko: "Are these spirits restless or is this normal around here?"
(11:27:51 PM) ***Barzini grins up at it, "Just think, Seedle owns all this."
(11:27:52 PM) Sparkles: "This *is* the Underworld..."
(11:29:48 PM) ***Kuniko looks at Barzini, frowning a bit. "Your point?"
(11:30:51 PM) Barzini: "All these souls and minions and all this land, are his! Our ship is huge, but it's nothing compared to this land."
(11:32:45 PM) Kuniko: "Again, your POINT?"
(11:33:04 PM) Kuniko: ( Inb4 "If you wanna conquer this place, fucking say it >:U" )
(11:33:24 PM) ***Barzini blinks, "He's living larger than even we are. What's with you?"
(11:34:40 PM) Crystal: Living large isn't really that great
(11:34:43 PM) Kuniko: "Just wondering if you really are thinking of walking over to him and telling him to hand all of this over to us."
(11:34:43 PM) Sparkles: "No reason to dwell on what other people have unless you intend to take it."
(11:35:44 PM) Barzini: "Yeah, guess you're right Sparkles. Besides, I bet Seedle doesn't have the best android ever like I do."
(11:37:20 PM) GX [GX@Nightstar-f688e453.dsl.look.ca] entered the room.
(11:37:26 PM) ***Barzini deadpans up at Crystal, deciding not to ask if the pun was intended.
(11:37:40 PM) Kuniko: "So you DO intend to take it..."
(11:38:06 PM) Barzini: "Uh. Not really? Why, did YOU want to steal the land of the dead?"
(11:38:27 PM) ***Barzini grins, "I thought you were going to draw in followers with those pills."
(11:39:17 PM) ***Sparkles 9_9
(11:40:39 PM) Kuniko: "...then again, I wouldn't have to worry about the living if I ruled this place."
(11:40:56 PM) Kuniko: "And if that was true, I would have eaten all the pills."
(11:41:42 PM) ***Barzini tries asking a ghost or a vampire or something about the best way to where Seedle is.
(11:42:02 PM) Mister_Cavern: As you walk along, some of the skulls notice you and attempt to bite through the cage to rush you, but to no avail. There are few creatures on the streets, just the occasional ghost, shade and vampire.
(11:42:44 PM) Mister_Cavern: The one you stop, a shuffling vampire, points at the central tower - it's always a central tower. "Don't go up to the top, he resides in a bunker below the tower."
(11:43:21 PM) Kuniko: "Why a bunker?"
(11:44:00 PM) ***Barzini thanks the vampire and gets back to Kuniko's topic once out of the stranger's earshot. "So why haven't you take them all? Saving them for someone?"
(11:44:16 PM) Mister_Cavern: "People often try to storm this realm to bring back loved ones,"
(11:44:34 PM) Sparkles: "So the tower is a diversion. Clever."
(11:44:52 PM) Barzini: "So it's more common than we thought..."
(11:45:29 PM) Kuniko: "He might be used to people like us showing up then."
(11:45:56 PM) ***Kuniko frowns at Barzini in her usual manner. "Who would I save them for? I don't intend to give them to Mariko..."
(11:46:13 PM) Crystal: People maybe, but like us? - I doubt that.
(11:47:16 PM) Barzini: "That's why I wonder why you didn't take them all."
(11:48:15 PM) Quantumboost [androirc@Nightstar-8241292e.sub-166-250-21.myvzw.com] entered the room.
(11:48:21 PM) Sparkles: ((switching to phone))
(11:48:37 PM) Sparkles left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: ~ Trillian Astra - www.trillian.im ~).
(11:48:52 PM) Quantumboost is now known as Sparkles
(11:49:21 PM) Kuniko: "Even if I did know, what made you think it's your business?"
(11:51:37 PM) Barzini: "It's good to know how someone aiming for godhood thinks."
(11:52:42 PM) Kuniko: "And here I thought you were thinking of two other things."
(11:52:58 PM) Barzini: "I am, but I thought that was obvious."
(11:53:05 PM) Kuniko: ...
(11:53:36 PM) Sparkles: "Love and Justice?"
(11:53:46 PM) Mister_Cavern: Eventually, you reach the tower itself. So far you have been uninterrupted. The door is made out of skulls, and there is a haunted suit of armour standing next to it. "Can I help you?"
(11:54:16 PM) Sparkles: "That's what you named them amirite" *deadpan*
(11:55:04 PM) Sparkles: (( :D ))
(11:55:07 PM) Barzini: "Oh hey, it's another suit of armor like Finny. Ah yes, is there a bunker somewhere around here?"
(11:55:16 PM) Barzini: ( ^5 )
(11:55:35 PM) Mister_Cavern: "...I assume you wish to make an appointment to see Underlord Seedle?"
(11:55:37 PM) Crystal: We're here to see about winning my dad's soul back from the underdead of the lord
(11:55:52 PM) Barzini: "Yes, how soon can we see him?"
(11:56:05 PM) Sparkles: "Via TENNIS"
(11:56:30 PM) Mister_Cavern: "Well... he is not entertaining at the moment, so I imagine he can see you shortly."
(11:58:19 PM) ***Kuniko looked on, not sure of how to respond to Sparkles' question or this situation.
(11:59:16 PM) Mister_Cavern: He (?) steps aside and the door topples apart, skulls lying in piles by the walls. Inside there is a double-helix staircase going up... and there is a trapdoor that leads down. "Watch your step."
(3/21/2012 12:00:33 AM) ***Barzini pushes/pulls on the trapdoor as applicable.
(12:01:38 AM) ***Sparkles uses the power of FLIGHT to levitate down the trapdoor, homes
(12:01:55 AM) ***Kuniko follows Sparkles while flying
(12:01:58 AM) Mister_Cavern: It is kind of heavy, but not impossibly so. It opens silently, revealing a single straight stairway down. Ghost lanterns are floating in the air next to the stairs, bathing them in pale blue light so people can mind their step - there is no guard rail. And the stairs... continue downward for over a mile, so falling might hurt.
(12:02:29 AM) Crystal: whoa...that's a lot of staircase
(12:02:38 AM) Mister_Cavern: Of course, given everyone can fly... that's not really such an issue
(12:02:53 AM) Crystal: Anyone got a slinky?
(12:04:05 AM) Quantumboost [Quantumboos@Nightstar-da347cef.wa.comcast.net] entered the room.
(12:04:09 AM) Barzini: "Good thing we were warned about stairs. These go quite a ways down."
(12:04:17 AM) Sparkles left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: AndroIRC - Android IRC Client ( http://www.androirc.com )).
(12:04:21 AM) Quantumboost is now known as Sparkles
(12:05:04 AM) Sparkles: "I know, it just keeps happening."
(12:06:24 AM) Kuniko: "...and he's down here?"
(12:06:45 AM) Crystal: Well that's what the vampire said.
(12:08:00 AM) Kuniko: "I wonder if we COULD take him on."
(12:08:10 AM) Crystal: If he was lying, we'll have a long way to come back
(12:09:00 AM) Mister_Cavern: At the bottom, there is a massively open cavern. There is a raised dais, and upon it stands a huge (literally huge) skeletal dragon of sorts, eyes dim with little intellect. But sitting side-saddle atop it is the Underlord himself, Seedle. There are eight vampires and eight ghosts in attendance.
(12:09:17 AM) Mister_Cavern: "So, I see there are visitors. Come, what could you possibly want from me?"
(12:09:58 AM) Crystal: I want my dad back!!
(12:10:32 AM) ***Barzini sweatdrops with a deadpan expression at the guy living in a bunker this deep.
(12:11:37 AM) Sparkles: "We'd kind of like that yeah. And I think our Captain wants necromantic knowledge of some sort but she isn't here yet. Also some chillaxing would be excellent if you are down for that sort of thing."
(12:11:53 AM) Barzini: "What could we possibly want from the Underlord where all the souls of the dead go..? Yeah, we were hoping to secure a certain marionette's soul."
(12:12:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Ha! That's all you're here for? Well you wasted your time. Go back home."
(12:12:51 AM) Barzini: "Hey... you don't even sell 'em back or make trades?"
(12:13:06 AM) Barzini: "We can't play Monopoly or Sudoku against you to win them back?"
(12:13:34 AM) ***Crystal is pretty sure Sudoku is a solitaire game
(12:13:46 AM) Mister_Cavern: "No. Those who die stay dead. People die when they are killed." He sighs. "You want a contest of some kind, the traditional challenge?"
(12:13:57 AM) Kuniko: "And that is?"
(12:14:33 AM) Sparkles: "Is it friendship speeches?"
(12:15:05 AM) Crystal: Wine tasting?
(12:15:17 AM) Sparkles: "Casting Dragon Slave?"
(12:15:26 AM) ***Barzini gives Seedle a smart alecy grin, "Well what about when religious types gather a pile of diamonds?"
(12:15:51 AM) Kuniko: "...you're going there?"
(12:18:30 AM) Barzini: "Really, just give us Crystal's dad and then we'll chat over some whiskey or tea before we set sail."
(12:18:33 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Well yes, I will hand a soul over for the proper rituals and payments."
(12:22:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Or... you may fight and clear this room of my minions. But I warn you, it won't be easy. They are quite fierce, and they know that I will destroy their souls forever should they lose. So they will fight with all they have."
(12:24:12 AM) Barzini: "You'd do that to your minions?"
(12:24:44 AM) Barzini: "I think Sparkles will really want a word with you after this is over."
(12:25:50 AM) Sparkles: "Here's a hint: it starts with a J."
(12:27:00 AM) ***Crystal wonders idly how anyone could fight with what they don't have
(12:27:50 AM) Barzini: "Sixteen spooks with their eternal souls on the line, versus us. Crystal, how do you want to do this?"
(12:28:48 AM) Crystal: Not sure about that count, Bartholomew J, we should at least ask how much those rituals are first
(12:29:08 AM) Crystal: Mr, Sheep Port, what are "the proper rituals and payment"?
(12:29:44 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Hmm? You seem to have trouble counting." He clicks his fingers. A pumpkin head steps into the room, some distance from the others, flanked by a pumpkin-headed bugbear and a triple-pumpkin-headed chimera.
(12:30:09 AM) Mister_Cavern: "The proper rituals and payment? Diamonds, via casting Raise Dead, Resurrection or True Resurrection. Those are the only ways someone may be brought back."
(12:30:18 AM) Sparkles: "Ooh, who do you do to get your minion alteration done?"
(12:30:33 AM) ***Sparkles thinks about this "What about that one that gives people a completely different body?"
(12:31:02 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Yes, yes, or Reincarnation or any of those other weird spells that do those things."
(12:31:10 AM) Sparkles: "Okay then."
(12:32:01 AM) Crystal: I'm really confused about the count now, if it's a head count, does that mean the chimera is three minions?
(12:33:57 AM) Crystal: Also, I'm confused what happens if we were to lose - when sometime dies in the land of the dead, where do they get sent?
(12:35:13 AM) Mister_Cavern: "They remain here... forever. If you lose, you will all become permanent residents of the City of Skulls. So what is your decision?"
(12:35:40 AM) Sparkles: "Awww, I thought that was where baby mortals came from..."
(12:37:15 AM) ***Barzini simply looks to the party member that has a stake in this challenge.
(12:37:22 AM) Crystal: So winning frees dad's soul and losing is free green cards?
(12:37:42 AM) Kuniko: "There's less a risk of all of us ending up like Crystal's dad if we just get the ritual done..."
(12:40:41 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Correct. But it is up to you. And you all seem rather easily confused, don't you?"
(12:41:39 AM) Sparkles: "So do you have like a scroll of raise dead or something? I'm pretty sure I can activate it in scroll form."
(12:41:51 AM) Kuniko: "Who, me?"
(12:42:14 AM) Sparkles: "Anybody really."
(12:42:21 AM) Sparkles: "In the universe."
(12:43:18 AM) ***Barzini shrugs to signify that nobody among he or his vassals own one.
(12:43:32 AM) ***Crystal wonders idly if a the pumpkin heads on the chimera mean that it now has a candy-based breath weapon
(12:44:20 AM) ***Crystal more relevantly, notes that she only has access to scrolls of 1st level spells
(12:44:20 AM) Barzini: "So, while they're deciding, tell me about how you became Underlord."
(12:44:47 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Who does he direct that to?)
(12:44:55 AM) Mister_Cavern: Oh wait, Underlord, not Undead
(12:44:56 AM) Mister_Cavern: derp
(12:45:46 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Simple. When I was murdered, I was sent here, to be a denizen, an undead samurai. But I didn't take it lying down, no. I clawed my way up and stabbed the previous Underlord. In the face. I killed him and took his throne."
(12:48:03 AM) Crystal: (( afk ))
(12:48:42 AM) Barzini: "Wow... Seedle really did it. That's inspiring!"
(12:49:40 AM) Barzini: "And now you rule over all of this. ... ... but you don't own an android, do you?" he grins.
(12:50:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: "...no. No I do not. Why do you ask?"
(12:51:29 AM) ***Kuniko looks at the others, wondering out loud soon after. "Why don't we just go buy a scroll and come back here?"
(12:51:29 AM) ***Barzini smiles proudly, "Nothing important, I just really needed to know that."
(12:52:30 AM) Sparkles: "I dunno. Barzini's still having a conversation I guess, it would be rude to just leave."
(12:52:39 AM) Barzini: "Ah, hmm. You all do that, I'm gonna chat with Seedle some more."
(12:53:19 AM) Barzini: "Go ahead, that'll mean we'll be finished here sooner. It's not every day you get to speak to someone that owns a whole layer of the Netherworld."
(12:55:11 AM) Mister_Cavern: "It's not a layer of a Netherworld, technically the Underworld is like a Netherworld unto itself. It's just... connected to other Netherworlds, and is considered a position of lower power. Because of the Under- thing."
(12:55:44 AM) Sparkles: "Well then, with your leave."
(12:56:18 AM) Mister_Cavern: He waves his hand dismissively. It seems he's happy enough for the party to not choose violence.
(12:56:29 AM) ***Sparkles bows and flies off to look for a place to acquire a raise dead scroll
(12:57:04 AM) Barzini: "It's still pretty neat!" he waits until the party has gone far enough up the stairs to allow a bit more privacy. "So tell me Seedle... the Overlord's soul. Is that jerk ass's soul down here?"
(1:03:19 AM) Crystal: well that's a lot of stairs to fly over for not much gain
(1:03:45 AM) Kuniko: "True."
(1:03:54 AM) Mister_Cavern: (So, the others can indeed basically go to a vending machine owned by RozenQueen Inc. The cost is as normal - Spell Level * Minimum Caster Level * 25, plus the Hl cost for the diamonds.)
(1:04:29 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Hah! I wish, at least that way we'd know what's going on. No, not even I know what the deal is with the Overlord."
(1:05:40 AM) Barzini: "So he's still kicking... don't worry, you ought to have him soon enough."
(1:08:03 AM) Sparkles: ((heh... question then is how much we have))
(1:08:20 AM) Barzini: (I asked what I needed to, if the party wishes to return with the scroll and gemstones.)
(1:09:53 AM) Mister_Cavern: (Well you have your own gemstones which are enough to cover that part of it, and I assume that you SHOULD have enough Hel...)
(1:10:14 AM) Sparkles: ((I shall assume the same then))
(1:11:20 AM) Barzini: "He didn't treat the navy well. We're pirates by the way. Pirates with our own brand of beer."
(1:11:47 AM) ***Sparkles acquires the relevant scroll and flies back down to Barzini. "I believe this should do the trick, though I'm uncertain whether the local dimensional traits would interfere with the nature of the spell."
(1:12:12 AM) Barzini: "We get that marionette's soul back okay, I'll work something out to get a case of our brew shipped down here. On the house. But if you like it... you're more than welcome to order more."
(1:13:04 AM) Barzini: "Ah, huh... you'd know more about casting the spell, but as for this black sand, and the pull on our life force..."
(1:13:19 AM) Barzini: !dice 1d20+15 K:planes
(1:13:19 AM) Yuffie: Barzini : Result of 1d20+15 K:planes : (8) 23
(1:14:56 AM) Mister_Cavern: The location shouldn't affect the spell - it's enough to ignore the negative energy and restore life regardless of complications, as long as you have the body (you do) and the soul (he does).
(1:15:34 AM) Kuniko: "So, we can do it?"
(1:15:55 AM) Barzini: "It's a strong spell. It ought to work."
(1:16:09 AM) Sparkles: "Alright, let's do this then."
(1:16:15 AM) Mister_Cavern: "Sure. I'm always happy to take gems in return for souls, as long as you do the magic. I don't want to actually be thought of as a bad guy after all..."
(1:16:47 AM) ***Sparkles heads to where we're keeping the corpse and performs the casting over the subsequent 10 minutes
(1:18:41 AM) Kuniko: ( Inb4 someone rolls Knowledge Metagame and find out he is a total asshole )
(1:18:45 AM) Sparkles: ((Caster level 9 means I should be able to auto-cast a Cleric-written Raise Dead scroll))
(1:22:01 AM) Mister_Cavern: In that case, yes, there is a flash of sparkly light, and he is returned to life. The marionette hops up to his feet. "
(1:22:20 AM) Mister_Cavern: I say, that was all rather uh... where is that crazy plant lady who killed me? Why did she kill me? What's going on?"
(1:23:25 AM) ***Barzini simply sighs, "Some pirates will be back to deliver a free shipment of our booze, Seedle. It's time to go."
(1:24:18 AM) ***Crystal rushes forward and hugs dad
(1:25:19 AM) Sparkles: "That was our captain. She sacrificed you to resurrect Crystal, because apparently that seemed like a good idea to nobody but her. And now you're alive again!"
(1:25:33 AM) Kuniko: ( I gotta go now. Sorry guys )
(1:26:03 AM) Kuniko: ( See ya later )
(1:26:27 AM) Mister_Cavern: (cya)
(1:26:40 AM) Kuniko left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- *I* use it, so it must be good!).
(1:27:22 AM) Mister_Cavern: He is delighted to see his daughter, and returns the hug. "My, how you've... grown. Like, I swear you didn't used to be twice as tall as me!"
(1:28:50 AM) ***Barzini flies up to start the minions arranging for a free sample of the booze to ship to the Total Asshole, with hopes that he might consider buying some next time.
(1:29:08 AM) Sparkles: "We think she activated some sort of demonic heritage from being a demon by absorbing Primordial Etheric currents while she was dead. At least that's my current working hypothesis, I've been busy with the engines."
(1:29:27 AM) Mister_Cavern: They hurry about arranging that - mainly getting the address down to send a message to the brewery
(1:31:12 AM) ***Crystal blubbers
(1:31:36 AM) Crystal: "You were dead, I'd failed to save you, I thought I'd never see you again"
(1:35:14 AM) Mister_Cavern: "No, sweetie, you didn't fail, that captain of yours killed me, that's a totally separate thing, and look, here I am, we see each other once more!"
(1:39:55 AM) Barzini: "If Seedle buys, I think I'll have one upped the captain by landing the first sale on our booze."
(1:42:15 AM) Mister_Cavern: And so, father and daughter are reunited, and the party has managed to negotiate with Seedle without bloodshed - a rare occurrence indeed! In the future, they have a meeting with THE DARK ASSEMBLY, and then? Well, surely it's approaching the opening of FoodWorld! So what lies in store for the party? Actual partying? We can hope!
(1:42:29 AM) Mister_Cavern: Tune in next time for the exciting adventures of Etc. Etc. Friendship Punch Inc!
(1:43:07 AM) Barzini is now known as Iori
(1:43:19 AM) Mister_Cavern is now known as Koumei
(1:43:48 AM) Sparkles is now known as Quantumboost
(1:44:05 AM) Koumei: Ah, that was fun~ And yeah, Seedle is a horrible man
(1:46:07 AM) You are now known as rabid_schnauzer
(1:46:14 AM) Iori: Heh, I think we're kind of oblivious to exactly how, but my best guess is that he could've given us the soul but decided to be a douche.
(1:46:46 AM) Iori: If Nast was in the party we probably would have wound up fighting the minions.
(1:46:58 AM) rabid_schnauzer: so what's up with Prak posting ~2 hours back but not checking in?
(1:47:19 AM) Koumei: He posted to say he'd be late or absent as a result of going to dinner with family, I believe.
(1:47:30 AM) Quantumboost: gnight all
(1:47:37 AM) Quantumboost left the room (quit: [NS] Quit: ~ Trillian Astra - www.trillian.im ~).
(1:47:37 AM) Koumei: Night dood
(1:48:53 AM) rabid_schnauzer: yeah, but then he posted in his Demon the Fallen thread 2 hours ago
(1:51:41 AM) Iori: ... I kind of have to lol at how without Nast we wound up not killing/kidnapping anyone, and we actually sold our beer. (well ok no we didn't but we made a decent step towards doing so)
(1:52:02 AM) Iori: In her defense, that wasn't very piratey of us and we did get shafted by the Underlord.
(1:56:18 AM) rabid_schnauzer: I was 50/50 on combat and woulda followed anyone's lead
(1:56:55 AM) Iori: Wasn't sure of power levels, but we were outnumbered and then got even more outnumbered when the reinforcements came out.
(2:00:00 AM) rabid_schnauzer: if it was just minions we likely coulda taken them, but if Seedle joined minions likely would have been very tough
(2:00:36 AM) rabid_schnauzer: also was a little worried about being shorthanded with no Nast and Kuniko having to leave early
(2:02:03 AM) Iori: Seedle got lucky. But if all goes well, I'll be his boss the next time we see him.

I got back ~9:30pm, and figured the game would be close to done, so I'd just give it a miss, especially since I had to get up early today.

...of course then I realized I needed to do laundry and wound up staying up for another hour...


And yeah, the game is surprisingly non-violent when I'm not playing....
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

"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."

[13:24] <Mister_Cavern> When last we left off, the deal had been made - multiple deals, in fact. Not only had Crystal's short-lost father been brought back from the dead, reunited with his (much taller) daughter, but also, a nice little package of booze had been arranged. Indeed, E-Can rolls a spare barrel out. "We still have this, dood. Why not just hand this over? We could get a sale done on the spot."
[13:24] * Nasturtium pops into being "Why is Crystal's dad alive and the Underlord not dead?"
[13:25] <Crystal> Seedle is dead.
[13:25] <Crystal> He's so very dead that he's king of the land of the dead
[13:26] <Crystal> A position he earned after he died
[13:26] <Nasturtium> I mean not lying on the floor with a hole blown clean through him, or many cuts...
[13:26] <Barzini> "Works for me. Be careful with all those stairs."
[13:26] <Mister_Cavern> E-Can starts quivering at the top of the stairs: prinnies tend to hop along on their peg-legs erratically. "Doooooooood"
[13:27] <Crystal> Well, Sparkles managed to dig up a scroll
[13:27] <Nasturtium> Oh
[13:27] * Barzini sweatdrops, "Easy does it! If the barrel lands on the Underlord...!"
[13:27] <Nasturtium> Well, can I still rummage through his library?
[13:28] <Nasturtium> Er... May I research the wonderful art of necromancy through perusing your library?
[13:29] <Mister_Cavern> He then decides there's only one option: give it a gentle shove, then hopping onto the other side, so that it would gradually bump him down the stairs without getting too shaken up itself. A very long time later, barrel and prinny reach the end, where Seedle rights the barrel up and flicks the side of it a few times, before cracking it open.
[13:30] <Mister_Cavern> There's still plenty of froth, but he doesn't seem to mind, dipping a sake cup in and sipping. "Hmm... a peculiar vintage, very meaty and earthy, has a lot of substance. Makes me feel light on my feet... I could see this being good for chilling out and watching the game..."
[13:30] <Nasturtium> "Especially if you like to watch the game from above."
[13:31] <Barzini> "Airy, right? This one is free but if you like it just say the word. Plenty more where that came from, and you'll be a hit with your guests."
[13:33] <Mister_Cavern> He seems pretty pleased, basically. "Hmm, you want to see the library? Well... be careful, some of the books bite. But I could allow it." He scoops up another cup and downs it. "So, a deal for regular shipments, you say. What kind of price are you looking at?"
[13:34] <Nasturtium> "Thank you." She sizes up the barrel, figures times for fermentation based on wine, and the size of the mushrooms, and tries to figure out the cost of production, or at least how long it takes
[13:34] <Nasturtium> (int roll?)
[13:34] * Barzini ...describes the standard payment options, or optionally flees to ask Stapler about what kinds of pricing plans BoozeCorp rolls with.
[13:34] <Mister_Cavern> (Sure, Int roll)
[13:34] <Nasturtium> !dice 1d20+5
[13:34] <Yuffie> Nasturtium : Result of 1d20+5 : (18) 23
[13:36] <Mister_Cavern> Okay, production takes a year, but they harvest all year round, so that's no big deal. The cost, including the usual business expenses, works out to 10 Hell per barrel, and usually they charge 4,000 Hell per barrel.
[13:38] <Mister_Cavern> "Oh, cash, sure. That's no problem. I can also offer thinaum weapons, bone armour and undead servants."
[13:38] <Nasturtium> "Well, we usually charge 4000 hell per barrel, but perhaps we could work a discount for large orders."
[13:40] * Barzini looks around at the jacks and ghosts, and is practically able to hear the puppy dog whining...
[13:42] <Barzini> "A bunch of my vassals used to work for BoozeCorp, and I think they'll be a little mad if I don't bring back actual money for the booze. Besides, I've got plenty of ghosts and zombies already."
[13:42] * Crystal wonders how sliming Thiniaum is
[13:47] <Mister_Cavern> "But of course. So, how about an order for... two barrels every month, that's ninety-six thousand, but if I pay up front perhaps you could cut it to maybe... seventy?"
[13:48] <Nasturtium> "Certainly. 70 thousand Hell sounds reasonable, especially since you're letting me peruse your library."
[13:49] <Mister_Cavern> "Very well." He waves to his Pump-Kin, who gives a nod, heads off... and returns with a big old sack of cash.
[13:49] <Nasturtium> "Did we ever get that telepathy relay set up? I want to start his shipment asap."
[13:51] <Barzini> "We'll call them up when we get back to the ship. Miss Strawberry ought to have all the phone numbers."
[13:51] <Nasturtium> "Ah, good."
[13:55] <Mister_Cavern> "Now, if you wish to enter the library, it is up on the ground level, on the other side of this building to the way you entered - past the living wall, and in the building that looks like a ram skull."
[13:56] <Nasturtium> "So, through a fleshy wall, and look for the RAM, got it."
[13:57] * Nasturtium thinks hard at her telepathic crewmates "any reason I shouldn't trust him?"
[13:57] <Crystal> (( aside from that whole lord of the underworld thing - nope! ))
[13:58] <Nasturtium> ((yeah, I meant aside from that.))
[13:58] * Barzini thinks back, "He isn't a very nice guy."
[14:00] * Nasturtium still thinks loudly "and we are? crap I hope this guy isn't telepathic too..."
[14:03] * Barzini flies back up the stairs and uses his headstart to have his minions pass the order along to Stapler and Strawberry, since they'd know better than he would about securing funds without the use of deadly electricity.
[14:04] <Nasturtium> "Well sir, I believe Barz, or his minions, will handle the actual order. I thank you again for, well, everything. Sorry, it's still strange to me for stuff to work out with no one being killed."
[14:04] <Mister_Cavern> They basically salute, and start telephoning BoozeCorp to get everything worked out.
[14:05] * Barzini bigsweats, "Hey uh, Crystal? Do you sometimes wonder if our minions aren't smarter than us?"
[14:05] <Mister_Cavern> "Heh, don't worry, it's much the same: usually people come here to fight me to the death, and it ends up being theirs. It's weird..."
[14:05] <Crystal> That's why I don't keep any minions, silly
[14:06] <Barzini> "Wha? You don't keep any minions?"
[14:08] <Crystal> Nope
[14:09] <Barzini> "That's... um, kind of weird. I was gonna say, that the minions were trained for running a business, but we spend all our time beating people up and taking our stuff, and... you know, nevermind."
[14:09] * Barzini scratches the back of his head, heading off to the living wall.
[14:09] <Barzini> (*our=their)
[14:10] <Crystal> But our business is piracy!! We run that just fine
[14:11] * Nasturtium goes up to look around for the living wall
[14:12] <Mister_Cavern> Seedle watches idly as the group depart, taking another sip of the beer. "I forget, am I even able to be affected by drugs and poisons?" he mutters to himself.
[14:12] <Barzini> "Hey, yeah, you're right! And before I became a pirate I knew 1,183 different ways to tie a knot and what to do if lacedons raid your ship! Maybe it's better that they handle the little details."
[14:13] <Crystal> Well, duh!
[14:13] <Mister_Cavern> The Living Wall is not a solid slab of flesh like in Doom, no. It is a thin frame of bones woven together, with undead flesh stretched across it, tearing in places, with arms reaching out, distorted faces begging for the release of death... and one giant hole torn into it for passage.
[14:13] <Nasturtium> "Hey there wall"
[14:13] <Barzini> "... and besides that, their jobs are better than this job..."
[14:17] <Mister_Cavern> "Uaaaoooorgh..." "Killlll meeeee"
[14:18] <Mister_Cavern> For the record the torn hole looks like someone grabbed the sternum and tore it open. Actual ribs are sticking through.
[14:18] <Mister_Cavern> It isn't a massively stretched anus or anything.
[14:18] <Nasturtium> "Hm... well, your boss is a client of ours now, and he's graciously letting us look through his library, so I don't think we can do that..."
[14:18] <Nasturtium> (damn. I was hoping it was wall vag)
[14:18] <Barzini> (Noooo, no goatse gates)
[14:19] <Barzini> "Uh, ew. So what can you do for us if we kill you?"
[14:19] <Crystal> Plus, I'm pretty sure you're already dead
[14:19] <Nasturtium> (gatese?)
[14:19] <Mister_Cavern> It continues to moan in pain. It seems the wall has very little intellect.
[14:20] <Nasturtium> "Hmm... do we have any topical stimulant drugs?"
[14:20] <Nasturtium> "Maybe one of those canisters?"
[14:22] <Barzini> "Oh yeah, the stuff from that porn shop factory."
[14:22] <Barzini> "Maybe we could convince the wall it's actually just having a really wild orgy."
[14:22] <Nasturtium> "Yeah, hmm... what happens if we introduce an aphrodisiac to a vaguely sentient undead wall?"
[14:23] <Barzini> "... if we're doing that let's get our business taken care of first. We still have to pass through there at least twice, don't forget."
[14:23] <Nasturtium> "...and?"
[14:24] <Barzini> "I don't want to go to second base with the wall!!"
[14:24] <Mister_Cavern> There is also a lever next to the wall: it's a long tongue, but seems too rigid to move on its own. Also, blood occasionally drips from the archway. Seedle has a messed up idea of architecture.
[14:25] <Nasturtium> "You know? I could maybe get used to this." she looks at the tongue lever, "So, aside from the idea which just came to mind, sny clue what that does?"
[14:25] * Barzini just heads through the spread rib passageway.
[14:26] * Crystal follows BarBarBinks
[14:26] <Mister_Cavern> Barzini and Crystal are completely unmolested.
[14:26] * Nasturtium glances at the lever, "eh, time for that later." and heads through shrugging
[14:27] <Mister_Cavern> Nasturtium is also unharmed. And the giant ram skull... is right ahead.
[14:27] * Barzini heads right on in.
[14:28] * Nasturtium heads for the RAM
[14:29] *** Quantumboost (Quantumboos@Nightstar-da347cef.wa.comcast.net) joined
[14:29] *** Quantumboost changed nick to Sparkles
[14:29] <Sparkles> ((Sorry, lost track))
[14:30] <Sparkles> ((*ping*))
[14:30] <Barzini> (ya)
[14:31] <Mister_Cavern> (Okay, basically you finished dealing with Seedle, and now you're making your way into his library)
[14:31] <Mister_Cavern> The ram skull is open, and the ghost guardians move aside, nodding. It seems message was passed on that you would be there. The mouth leads to a stairway seemingly made from vertebrae.
[14:33] <Nasturtium> "Yep, I could get used to this architecture."
[14:33] <Barzini> "Bah, we've got the best architecture with the ship and the sailor outfits!"
[14:34] <Nasturtium> "I much prefer Rammy without any outfit, Barz."
[14:34] <Sparkles> "And the crazy goggles."
[14:35] <Barzini> "Alraunes sure do like going commando. How come Jacks are so much more modest?"
[14:36] <Nasturtium> "What do you mean? I assure you, I am wearing panties. They give me a bonus and all."
[14:37] * Crystal flies up stairway
[14:37] <Mister_Cavern> The spine slowly curves down into the underground library. And sure enough, there are rows of shelves, with tomes bound in chains and locked to them. It seems the reason is not to prevent theft, but to prevent escape
[14:38] <Nasturtium> "So... is it dewey decimal, or what?"
[14:39] <Crystal> Were we looking for mysteries or romance novels?
[14:40] <Nasturtium> "Necromancy, so... Iunno?"
[14:40] <Sparkles> "Hmmm... you think they bite?"
[14:40] <Nasturtium> "poke one and see"
[14:44] * Crystal carefully approaches nearest book and attempts to open it
[14:44] * Barzini passes the time by looking up books on creating/becoming Majin.
[14:45] * Nasturtium skims the racks for tomes with skulls, evil symbols, tombstones, and other symbols of death
[14:45] * Sparkles looks for a nice treatise on transdimensional containment theory
[14:46] <Mister_Cavern> Opening it actually requires undoing the chains - maybe Disable Device or a Break Check?
[14:46] <Mister_Cavern> All of the tomes are bound in human skin or have skulls or other eerie motiffs
[14:47] <Mister_Cavern> Basically, this is not a great library on all things planar or whatever. It only has information on necromancy and the dead - and mostly on the practical side of things, not much in the way of actual spellbooks.
[14:47] <Crystal> !dice 1d20+7 breakage
[14:47] <Yuffie> Crystal : Result of 1d20+7 breakage : (12) 19
[14:48] <Nasturtium> "Huh. Well..."
[14:48] * Nasturtium picks one at random
[14:48] <Mister_Cavern> The chain snaps, and the book immediately flips open, before trying to sink its fangs into Crystal
[14:48] <Crystal> They bite They Bite!
[14:48] <Mister_Cavern> !dice 1d20+10 Bite attack
[14:48] <Yuffie> Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20+10 Bite attack : (13) 23
[14:48] <Nasturtium> !dice 1d20+14 disable device
[14:48] <Yuffie> Nasturtium : Result of 1d20+14 disable device : (3) 17
[14:48] <Crystal> (( if I'm flat footed, that hits ))
[14:49] <Mister_Cavern> Yeah, picking the locks is actually easier - they are clearly only made with the idea of "Don't let the books escape", not with the goal of keeping people out
[14:49] <Mister_Cavern> !dice 1d6+3 Bite damage
[14:49] <Yuffie> Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d6+3 Bite damage : 7
[14:49] <Mister_Cavern> (not magical)
[14:49] <Mister_Cavern> Fangs sink into Crystal to some extent, and it doesn't let go. The book growls.
[14:49] <Mister_Cavern> !dice 1d20+10 bite against Nasturtium
[14:49] <Yuffie> Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20+10 bite against Nasturtium : (1) 11
[14:49] <Nasturtium> bite misses
[14:49] <Mister_Cavern> nasturtium's book fails to even close.
[14:49] * Nasturtium smacks the book
[14:50] <Barzini> "Whoa. Okay, they don't even have good books on Majin here."
[14:50] <Crystal> This one seems pretty gripping
[14:50] <Mister_Cavern> So what kind of actual information are you after, Nasturtium? That might give me some kind of idea as to what to tell you. Otherwise I'll have to randomly generate fifty books and all their information. In which case they'll all be full of exploding runes.
[14:51] <Nasturtium> looking for necromantic rituals
[14:51] <Crystal> (( don't forgot Sepia Snake Sigil, Secret Page, and Glyph of Warding ))
[14:51] <Nasturtium> especially stuff that will work on alraunes
[14:52] <Mister_Cavern> Sure, you can find the Tome of Eternal Darkness. Should Nasturtium read the Tome of Eternal Darkness? [Yes | No]
[14:52] <Crystal> (( plus the various Symbol Spells ))
[14:52] <Nasturtium> Yes
[14:54] <Sparkles> ((Are we going to have flashbacks to the last party who picked up the Tome of Eternal Darkness now? :/))
[14:55] <Mister_Cavern> (:3c)
[14:55] <Mister_Cavern> ("No, no Alex shouldn't... what do you mean I have to say Yes? She SHOULDN'T!")
[14:56] <Mister_Cavern> The images and words inside are fairly horrifying. I would like Nasturtium to make a DC 25 Will Save against a [Mind Affecting] effect
[14:56] * Nasturtium takes a great interest in the Tome of Eternal Darkness
[14:57] <Nasturtium> free action to allocate jutsu points?
[14:57] <Mister_Cavern> ...sure
[14:57] <Nasturtium> woot
[14:57] * Nasturtium quickly sticks jutsu points into saves
[14:57] <Nasturtium> !dice 1d20+11
[14:57] <Yuffie> Nasturtium : Result of 1d20+11 : (1) 12
[14:57] <Nasturtium> ...
[14:57] <Nasturtium> fuck you Yuffir
[14:58] <Nasturtium> *Yuffie
[14:58] <Nasturtium> fuck you with an entire chocobo
[14:58] <Mister_Cavern> !dice 1d6 Wisdom damage
[14:58] <Yuffie> Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d6 Wisdom damage : 3
[14:58] <Nasturtium> damnit
[14:59] * Barzini then diverts his time by taunting and teasing a chained down book on Zombie Kings.
[14:59] <Mister_Cavern> The things presented are so horrifying that Nasturtium is a little traumatised, almost dumbstruck. She is also [Shaken] for the rest of the day, however there is in fact actual information that has crawled into her brain (forcefully).
[14:59] * Nasturtium staggers back, "Ow, ow, ow..."
[14:59] * Sparkles does some research on Undead
[14:59] * Nasturtium goes back to reading
[15:00] * Crystal wrestles with the bitey book
[15:00] <Mister_Cavern> She now knows all of the rites on how to become an undead (Lichification etc.), as well as unlocking the knowledge of how all life is life at the end of the day, how corruption and undeath don't discriminate: she can ignore any racial requirements for Undead templates/transformations
[15:00] <Mister_Cavern> Crystal can overpower the book - it isn't very strong, after all. Just surprising.
[15:00] <Nasturtium> sweet
[15:03] * Nasturtium looks around the room, for more books on undead creation
[15:03] <Mister_Cavern> It is the Book of Fangs. Of course it is. It seems to have diagrams and words on biting, eating and flesh-tearing. Apparently you have to actually eat the book to digest the information.
[15:03] <Nasturtium> "I'll eat it!"
[15:04] <Mister_Cavern> In before Nasturtium takes all of the treasure again
[15:04] <Nasturtium> hey, I only offered...
[15:04] * Crystal tries a nibble to see how tasty it is
[15:06] <Mister_Cavern> The book is... fleshy. And a little crunchy in places. The spine contains tasty marrow.
[15:07] <Crystal> mmm...marrow
[15:07] <Mister_Cavern> Sparkles: it turns out that Undead are People Too! Apart from the ones that aren't. There is a debate on whether zombies count as people, as well as the "Ghosts: Undead or Fey" discussion.
[15:08] * Nasturtium seeks out the "Adult" section of the library
[15:08] <Mister_Cavern> Whenever it is night (not dark, but from sundown to sunrise), Crystal is considered to have Basic access to the Voracity Sphere. Also, Nasturtium is able to, through her research, take Undead Creation feats.
[15:08] <Mister_Cavern> The whole section is considered adult. There is no pornography section.
[15:08] <Nasturtium> sweet
[15:08] <Nasturtium> aww...
[15:09] <Nasturtium> is there a naughty rituals section?
[15:09] <Mister_Cavern> No
[15:09] <Mister_Cavern> I take it that eventually you get bored?
[15:09] *** icyshadow (icyshadow@Nightstar-547dd3cc.elisa-laajakaista.fi) joined
[15:09] <Nasturtium> Welp, Nast will just have to create some
[15:09] <Nasturtium> yeah
[15:09] <icyshadow> ( What have I missed? )
[15:09] * Barzini already is, continuing to taunt a poor restrained Zombie King book.
[15:09] <Barzini> (Not much, we're fooling around in the underlord's library)
[15:10] <Nasturtium> I can learn necromantic creation feats, and Crystal has basic access to Voracity at night
[15:10] <icyshadow> ( Oh. And yeah, my fears were true, I'm being dragged off right now. )
[15:10] <icyshadow> ( See ya guys later )
[15:10] <Nasturtium> (see ya)
[15:10] *** icyshadow quit ([NS] Quit: HydraIRC -> http://www.hydrairc.com <- Wibbly Wobbly IRC)
[15:10] <Nasturtium> *coughbadgerdickcough*
[15:11] <Barzini> "Nope! Missed me! Almost! Haha not even close! Maybe if you books weren't such JERKS you wouldn't be in bondage like this!!"
[15:11] <Crystal> Well, bookbinders have to make a living somehow
[15:12] <Nasturtium> BBDSM?
[15:13] <Barzini> "Sure, why not? They're in chain and want to bite. Ain't that right, Ancient Secrets of The Zombie King, by Ama-ris? Missed again!!"
[15:14] <Mister_Cavern> Well, eventually everyone can leave, I suppose. And the giant skull mouth shuts behind them when they do, no longer welcoming visitors.
[15:14] * Nasturtium pulls the tongue lever on the wall when they're all out
[15:14] <Mister_Cavern> The hole in the wall closes, the ribs slamming shut. That's all it does.
[15:16] <Barzini> "I hope we can get out of the Triangle with no problems."
[15:16] * Nasturtium resists the urge to be even more perverted than usual.
[15:16] <Mister_Cavern> AND SO EVERYONE BOARDS THE SHIP AND LEAVES
[15:17] <Sparkles> YAY
[15:17] <Nasturtium> yes
[15:17] <Nasturtium> without breaking off rigid tongues and stealing them
[15:18] <Mister_Cavern> Thanks to the Spiral Energy System, the ship gets a burst of positive energy which launches it skywards... it floats noiselessly through the void, and the city of the dead shrinks into the background as you get closer and closer to the layer of... clouds? ocean? Darkness of some kind.
[15:19] <Crystal> whoa.....Great work Sparkles
[15:19] <Mister_Cavern> Hitting the darkness is a slightly unsettling experience, and the ship slows... then hurtles through. Eventually, you are on the normal Netherworld again, sailing across the ocean. It is around midday. And the foreboding towers of the Dark Assembly can be seen in the distance.
[15:20] <Sparkles> "Apparently the Underworld doesn't like positive energy very much."
[15:20] * Barzini brags to the sexy android about how he sealed the first commission, then proceeds to rant about that creepy nurse's explanation of shareholdings in the company until he suddenly notices that tower.
[15:21] * Nasturtium goes off to talk to ship crew about the resting place of her father
[15:21] <Barzini> "No shares my ass! We plundered everything that wasn't nailed down! They'd better acknowl-- hey."
[15:22] <Mister_Cavern> Even from here, it looks like a mass of tunnels and corridors and stairways, somehow supporting itself, only with the actual main building perched atop the entanglement.
[15:22] <Barzini> "How come nobody told me that we were so close to this place?"
[15:22] <Crystal> I had no idea we were
[15:22] <Sparkles> "We weren't, last I checked. What with being in the Underworld."
[15:23] <Barzini> "While we're here I ah, wanna get political."
[15:23] <Sparkles> "Ewwwww."
[15:23] <Mister_Cavern> The crew seem to not really know much about the situation regarding Nasturtium's father. Their best guess is "maybe a garden or something?" - forgetting the bit where demons can have any kinds of weird demon parents.
[15:24] <Sparkles> "Those poor interns..."
[15:24] <Nasturtium> (*isn't a demon*)
[15:24] <Mister_Cavern> (Alraunes are Demons)
[15:24] <Sparkles> (*isn't a demon*)
[15:24] <Mister_Cavern> (Not in the sense of the subtype, but in the sense of Netherworld "Biology")
[15:25] <Sparkles> (...wait, I *do* have the subtype now...)
[15:25] <Nasturtium> (ohrite)
[15:26] <Crystal> (( You need to quit denying your true selves :p ))
[15:26] <Sparkles> ((I'm picking up the "Is Ramiel" feat next level :P))
[15:27] * Barzini asks Johhny and his cuter minions if there's anything they'd like to petition DA for.
[15:27] <Nasturtium> (well, Nast's dad was totally an alraune, or some manner of plant thing, and the crew sailed with him first)
[15:28] <Nasturtium> (of course, I still need to hit another divisible by 3 level to get another feat)
[15:29] <Mister_Cavern> (Oh right, they actually knew him. In that case they'd know. Yeah, they laid him to rest at the foot of a great Mana Tree to help its growth)
[15:29] <Barzini> "Stapler I know you wanted to change your name, but you know what I think? You've got hardware like that and you belong to this crew now, so nobody will give a bilge rat's tail about what you were last named."
[15:29] <Nasturtium> (ok, cool.)
[15:29] <Barzini> (That sounds... strangely heroic considering how his kid turned out)
[15:30] <Barzini> (Too much Seiken Densetsu.)
[15:30] <Nasturtium> (pirate)
[15:30] <Mister_Cavern> E-Can wants to petition for a [Day Off]. Johnny wants [More Counter Attacks]. Stapler wants [A Change of Name].
[15:32] <Crystal> (( afk for laptop move ))
[15:32] <Barzini> "A... a day off!? But you're a prinny! And what if we run out of ammunition on your day off!? ... But... you managed to get that barrel all the way down Seedle's stupid staircase and I have this dynamite now, huh? ..."
[15:33] <Barzini> "Prinnies these days, they all want to be the hero."
[15:34] <Mister_Cavern> Eventually, the ship glides up to the docks of the Dark Assembly - Barzini's eagerness seemingly directing it there. There are knights, of course, generally guarding it.
[15:34] * Sparkles wants to open [Prinny Land] :D:D
[15:35] <Mister_Cavern> "Do you all wish to enter the Dark Assembly and petition them with your trivial matters?"
[15:35] * Nasturtium calls for Benchworthy and AAAAAAAAAAAAAHH
[15:35] <Barzini> "Yes!"
[15:35] <Mister_Cavern> Eventually the two knights arrive.
[15:35] <Nasturtium> "No, we wish to enter the Dark Assembly and overthrow them, but will settle for petitioning them with our extremely important matters"
[15:36] <Barzini> "Off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of... hey are there any wizards on the Assembly..?"
[15:36] <Mister_Cavern> "Yes, I believe there are some."
[15:36] <Sparkles> "Can we combine our ship with the wizards to create a wizard ship?"
[15:36] <Sparkles> "Via Fusionisting?"
[15:37] <Mister_Cavern> "I... think that might be messy."
[15:37] <Barzini> "... I think we'd wind up making our ship look like Seedle's wall..."
[15:37] * Barzini makes sure his Horse Wiener is in tip top condition, then enters.
[15:37] <Nasturtium> "Can we tie them to cannon racks and use them in ship to ship battles?"
[15:39] <Barzini> (In hindsight, that last emote sounds so lemony.)
[15:40] * Crystal contemplates petitions
[15:40] <Mister_Cavern> "I'm fairly sure they would refuse."
[15:40] <Nasturtium> "damn"
[15:41] <Mister_Cavern> Well, with Barzini taking the lead, it takes a little while but eventually you all make it to the great hall. The Moth Party, Celestial Dragon party, Orc Party and Baciel Party are all present.
[15:41] <Mister_Cavern> !dice 1d20
[15:41] <Yuffie> Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20 : 17
[15:41] <Mister_Cavern> There is no legendary senator present
[15:41] <Mister_Cavern> (4 moths, 3 dragons, 5 orcs and 3 (drunk) baciels)
[15:42] <Nasturtium> (I'm gonna need a minute to figure out what my petition is)
[15:43] <Barzini> "This is all so sudden. But I can't pass up an opportunity like this."
[15:43] <Crystal> (petition to suggest petition :P )
[15:44] <Nasturtium> (I literally don't know what to petition for)
[15:45] <Crystal> (( become a galactic demon :P ))
[15:45] <Nasturtium> (petition to gestalt Pumpkin King and Net of the Pirate Kings?)
[15:45] <Mister_Cavern> (hahaha no)
[15:45] <Nasturtium> (*snaps* damn)
[15:45] * Barzini grudgingly helps E-Can fill out the [Day Off] petition, while discreetly using his mad Sleight of Hand skillz to snatch up a petition for martial ascension.
[15:46] <Mister_Cavern> To save time, everyone can all put their petitions forward at the same time.
[15:47] * Nasturtium looks over petition forms
[15:47] * Crystal looks at what areas need to be opened
[15:49] * Barzini leaves Johnny and Stapler and the rest of the party to their thing, as he finds someplace inconspicuous to fill out the form he picked up.
[15:50] <Mister_Cavern> Well you can indeed use it to open cross-overs into any D&D setting or other Disgaea game or whatever, true. Or to open Prinny Land or whatever. Also you could, for instance, demand Full BAB or turn a Saving Throw Good, or increase Skill Points for all levels by 2 or a Sphere or something.
[15:50] <Nasturtium> ...can I have cohorts and crew members petition to change my stats?
[15:50] <Mister_Cavern> Nein.
[15:51] <Nasturtium> damn
[15:51] <Mister_Cavern> So Johnny wants [More Counterattacks] and will thus get Horde Breaker or whatever the "You get more AoOs" one is as a bonus feat (if it passes). E-Can is effectively wasting his petition on a Day Off. As is Stapler with her name change.
[15:52] <Nasturtium> Rammy will petition for Full BAB
[15:52] <Mister_Cavern> "[I want Greater Attack Power!]" Rammy shouts, complete with square brackets.
[15:53] <Nasturtium> "So, I hear there's this desert realm, with fuck all powerful dragon sorcerers, anyone think we should bring a bunch of booze and water and be fucking gods, and COMBINE with a dragon?"
[15:54] <Mister_Cavern> So... Barzini, Rammy, E-Can, Stapler and Johnny all know what they want. That leaves Nasturtium, Crystal, Sparkles and... am I missing any minions?
[15:54] <Mister_Cavern> Does Nasturtium propose ?
[15:55] <Sparkles> "This sounds like a plan."
[15:55] <Nasturtium> Nasturtium petitions to open Dark Sun
[15:55] * Sparkles petitions to open Chrono Trigger
[15:55] <Nasturtium> and her crew will all fill out the petition as well
[15:57] <Mister_Cavern> Okay, so, Crystal?
[15:58] * Crystal opts for
[15:58] <Barzini> (it is a shame icy is sick and abducted, I would be really curious what Kuniko would be trying to get.)
[15:58] <Crystal> ((seduction sphere ))
[15:59] <Mister_Cavern> Okay... it appears the Orcs already do like Crystal. In fact, they like the general wobblefest of the party, and because Kuniko is theoretically there, her massive boobage helps make them in support.
[16:00] <Mister_Cavern> The Baciels laugh at the revelation of the Horse Weiner that Barzini has, and seem... impressed?
[16:00] <Mister_Cavern> So, you each get one action of attempting to appeal to someone or do something.
[16:00] <Barzini> "It was owned by Archangel Flonne once, and it makes me strong! And I love being STRONG"
[16:00] <Mister_Cavern> ("you" being actual player characters)
[16:01] <Nasturtium> (if only I had more ranks of perform)
[16:02] <Mister_Cavern> There's Perform, Diplomancy, Intimidate, Bluff...
[16:02] * Crystal allocates Jutsu point to Cha skills and tries to Diplomancy the Dragons
[16:02] <Crystal> !dice 1d20+18
[16:02] <Yuffie> Crystal : Result of 1d20+18 : (20) 38
[16:02] <Barzini> (Probably depends on what the Moths and C.Dragons think.)
[16:03] * Crystal ((loves you too yuffie))
[16:04] <Mister_Cavern> The Dragons were indifferent. But with a Base DC of 20 to make them Slightly in Favour, you beat that by 18 and thus have made them Strongly in Favour.
[16:04] <Mister_Cavern> Moths seem as though they largely don't give a toss.
[16:04] * Nasturtium will use her charm spell like
[16:04] <Mister_Cavern> !dice 1d20 Will Save
[16:04] <Yuffie> Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d20 Will Save : 15
[16:04] * Sparkles attempts to Diplomance the Moths with an offering of fresh honey
[16:05] <Mister_Cavern> One of the moths probably fails a Will Save so is outright Charmed.
[16:05] <Sparkles> !dice 1d20+23
[16:05] <Yuffie> Sparkles : Result of 1d20+23 : (18) 41
[16:05] <Mister_Cavern> And honey is a pretty awesome bribe, so... wow. Yeah.
[16:05] <Nasturtium> holy crap, they actually faile
[16:05] <Nasturtium> d
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> Let's just do this now: Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye...
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> !dice 1d2
[16:06] <Yuffie> Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d2 : 1
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> !dice 1d2
[16:06] <Yuffie> Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d2 : 2
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> !dice 1d2
[16:06] <Yuffie> Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d2 : 1
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> !dice 1d2
[16:06] <Yuffie> Mister_Cavern : Result of 1d2 : 2
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> Aye, Nay, Aye, Nay! (drunk Baciels vote randomly)
[16:06] <Mister_Cavern> APPROVED
[16:07] <Nasturtium> woot
[16:07] <Barzini> "Hurrah!"
[16:07] <Sparkles> "Exuberance!"
[16:07] * Barzini gets to ascending to a much mightier state of existence.
[16:08] <Mister_Cavern> All of Nasturtium's minions gain full BAB! Two new realms open! Johnny gets Horde Breaker! Crystal gets Basic access to Seduction! Stapler is now called Miss Vita! E-Can gets a day off! Barzini gets full BAB!
[16:09] <Nasturtium> hmm... could someone petition for Greater Than Full BAB? *knows the answer*
[16:09] <Sparkles> "Alright, let's get us an artifact time machine!"
[16:09] <Nasturtium> "And a dragon!"
[16:09] <Nasturtium> "And bring water to a bunch of backwards camel fuckers!"
[16:10] <Nasturtium> "How much are Decanters of Endless Water? Anyone know?"
[16:11] <Nasturtium> ((want this weapon so bad http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lnb6h ... r3_500.gif ))
[16:11] <Crystal> (( this was first: http://media.photobucket.com/image/rece ... -Matic.jpg ))
[16:12] * Barzini finishes with his light show, aside from a few crackles of electricity. "With this step out of the way, I have only one thing left to make life perfect."
[16:12] <Nasturtium> ((yeah, but cat crossbow is better))
[16:13] <Nasturtium> "Don't worry Barz, you can petition for a sex change next time"
[16:13] <Mister_Cavern> And so, thanks to a deal and a delve into libraries - as well as some dealings with the Dark Assembly - the party have now amassed disproportionate power. But even now, EvilCorp. is expanding, and rapidly. Things are happening, it's lucky the PCs apparently always have time for sidequests.
[16:14] <Mister_Cavern> But what does the future hold for them? I guess the only way to find out is to tune in for the next exciting episode of Pretty Soldier Tengen Toppa Lyrical Friendship Punch Tactics 1/2 Plus Alpha!
[16:14] <Barzini> "Johnny... you've got to be the toughest sea dragon in all the seas! 'Vita', eh? Ah, makes no difference to me, you're still perfect. E-Can, whatever the other prinnies think about your slacking is your problem..."
[16:14] * Nasturtium starts gathering stuff to become a lich
[16:15] *** Mister_Cavern changed nick to Koumei
[16:15] * Sparkles starts figuring how to hook up Epoch's temporal system to the Spiral Reactor

Well I'm on graveyard shift starting tomorrow....sadly tharts gonna conflict with the game. Gee Thanks, Unversity for letting me know Friday afternoon that you're switching me from days to graveyard starting Sunday evening. Thanks even more for the "still a temp" status...grumble grumble.

Hopefully some combination of impressing the boss and/or weaseling out of things will make this shift short lived, but that remains to be seen. I'll keep yinz posted as I find out more.

"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."

Understood.

Also, this up-and-coming session is off, as I need to meet with my social worker. But after that it's business as usual, except without Josh presumably.

I'm sorry to say this, but I'm considering leaving off the game. The time zones have made this into a horrid struggle (recent changes to my daily schedule only made it worse), and even though I have had fun playing so far, I feel like the interest is starting to die out, and I wasted a lot of good ideas with my character choice and some other things.

Edit: RP-wise, I'd just say Kuniko and Mariko went home (or off on their own adventures) after saying goodbye to the crew and wishing them good luck.

I understand, icy :(

And game was cancelled today because, what with me being cold blooded and Australia skipping Autumn in favour of going straight to Winter, I fell asleep again.

Again, I apologise. I set an alarm for 10AM (the game starting at 11AM over here), woke up... was exhausted so fell asleep again and woke up at 5PM. Some people just need more than 12 hours sleep per day, it seems.

It's ok Koumei, I understand. If I didn't have school to get to today, I'd be in bed till noon, at least.
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.
