* Eric dances about
Behold the Void has connected.
Eric:
*CONFETTI!*
MadarFoxfire:
celebrations
Eric:
now we just need players
Behold the Void:
Getting some
Dessa has connected.
Dessa:
oh, hey, it works now
Eric:
we had some technical trouble
Eric:
*decides to be Wolfwood today*
Eric:
Or maybe Zelgadis?
Dessa:
how do I get my icon?
Blazing Fool has connected.
Eric:
drag it
Eric:
from the desktop to the window
Eric:
super easy
Eric:
sup bro
Behold the Void:
What's my party looking like?
Eric:
Frail wizard checking in
Dessa:
oh, hey, it worked
Behold the Void:
What pixel size do you guys have your icons at?
Eric:
doesn't matter
Eric:
it resizes everythign to fit the grid
Eric:
maptools:
Eric:
SUPER slick
Dessa:
mine is 100x100... Foxfire made it
MadarFoxfire:
that reminds me, I should make a jazzy token for Blintz
Dessa:
lol
Eric:
BF do you have anything you can use for a token?
Eric:
it can be any image
Blazing Fool:
How does one make a token
Blazing Fool:
I can just use one of Richter's icons
Eric:
you just drag it onto the screen from your desktop
Eric:
SUEPR easy
Dessa:
lol, Angie and Mom say that maptool sounds like the marble in the ramune glass
Behold the Void:
Anyway
Behold the Void:
I think we're about ready to go, so
Eric:
what
Eric:
how?
Eric:
*At Dessa*
Blazing Fool:
Okay wow that was easy
Dessa:
the sound effect
Eric:
Right click on the icon and go to Edit if you want to change the token's name
Eric:
Ah I see, I have the sound off so that didn't even occur to me
Behold the Void:
Huh, that wipes icons
Behold the Void:
Sorry dudes
Dessa:
?
MadarFoxfire:
I can still see them
Behold the Void:
OK, so apparently changing the map
Eric:
as can I
Behold the Void:
Doesn't actually change the map
Behold the Void:
For anyone who isn't me
Behold the Void:
One sec
Behold the Void is disconnected.
Behold the Void has connected.
Dessa:
okay, so which windows in here do I actually need open for this? I have a bunch of windows up
MadarFoxfire:
chat and viewer
Eric:
map explorer is handy
Behold the Void:
Does anyone have tokens on the field right now?
MadarFoxfire:
...oh nice
MadarFoxfire:
you can delete them
MadarFoxfire:
I do
Dessa:
I do
Behold the Void:
Well shit
Ludo:
Impersonated is hand
Behold the Void:
I don't think I'm in the same map as you guys
Ludo:
y
Behold the Void:
Did that do anything?
MadarFoxfire:
there we go
Dessa:
and mine just cleared
Eric:
yes
Behold the Void:
ok
Eric:
every thing is gone
Behold the Void:
One second
Dessa:
Eric, how did you do the thingy where it showed Ludo in chat?
MadarFoxfire:
whoa
Behold the Void:
I will need to learn to do maps
MadarFoxfire:
background flashed
Eric:
click on the token
Eric:
and then click Impersonate Selected
Eric:
it should be in the lower right corner
Ludo:
Cha-cha-cha
Dessa:
are we supposed to put our tokens back on the field?
Behold the Void:
Go ahead and put them back
Behold the Void:
I was experimenting with things that were fruitless
Blintz:
Oho
Cosima Liridon:
Hey, this is cool
Blazing Fool:
Hoho
Ludo:
See? I'm a wizard. I KNOW things
Richter:
There we go
Richter:
Damn this is really nifty
Blintz:
You'd look more like a wizard with a bigger hat.
Behold the Void:
So Richter and...
Blintz:
Would you like a bigger hat?
Behold the Void:
Cosima
Behold the Void:
How do we want to intro?
Ludo:
Only master wizards get big fancy hats
Behold the Void:
For some backstory, legend has it that this place was once a mighty Goblin Kingdom
Behold the Void:
But they dug too deep and unleashed dragons upon it
Blintz:
Does the wizard make the hat or the hat make the wizard?
Ludo:
the first one
Behold the Void:
Queen Myrina, recently deposed from the throne of Astheled, has sent a contingent to investigate
Behold the Void:
You guys can either have met en route or be here checking the place out on entirely unrelated business
Blintz:
Darn. I was hoping for some nice philosophy out of that one.
Behold the Void:
Or have introduced yourselves and joined the queen before and we'll backlog that
Behold the Void:
Or option D: something else I haven't said
Eric:
probably with the impersonation is it takes a lot of space in the window
Cosima Liridon:
Cosima can meet them enroute
Eric:
problem*
Richter:
We can backlog Richter's intro
MadarFoxfire:
this is true. I shall save it for RP
MadarFoxfire:
What's Richter's deal?
Richter:
Former slave to the Isgardians, fighting as a soldier for them to win his wife's freedom
Richter:
Isgardians knew he was getting close to earning it, so they decided to cut him loose, as it were
Richter:
And by cut him loose I mean try to kill him
Richter:
So fuck those guys, he's joining up with the queen!
Eric:
hopefully rescuing his wife before they really notice
Richter:
That's the plan
MadarFoxfire:
clearly the smart option here is a cunning disguise
MadarFoxfire:
such as a pair of glasses
MadarFoxfire:
and a false mustache
Eric:
Did someone say fake nose and goofy glasses!?
Behold the Void:
Anyway
Richter:
He grew his hair out and started wearing an eyepatch, good enough!
Behold the Void:
Let's get the ball rolling, I think I'm just going to do one encounter tonight
Behold the Void:
Since we're already late into it
Behold the Void:
This is probably going to be a two-parter anyway
Behold the Void:
Anyway
Behold the Void:
You reach the cavern as indicated on the map given to you
Eric:
For the record who is ICly present right now?
Behold the Void:
All of you, I presume
Behold the Void:
Unless Cosima wants to intro now
Behold the Void:
Because you do notice that the place is blocked by a large wall of rubble
Behold the Void:
Fortunately, Queen Myrina saw fit to provide you with explosives
Dessa:
Can I have Cosima sitting on top of the wall?
Behold the Void:
Sure
Behold the Void:
In fact
Behold the Void:
As you look up, you note a young lady sitting on the pile of rubble
Behold the Void:
(Cosima)
Cosima Liridon:
You guys don't -look- like Isgardian soldiers...
Ludo:
Of course not. We're just passing through.
Ludo:
Or we were, before this wall got in the way
Eric:
this takes up too much room, I'm going back to "quotes"
Dessa:
((Is Prof's character with the group?))
Eric:
((No, I think it's just the three of us))
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: Which is why we have explosive devices! You may wish to dismount and back away to a safe distance.
Eric:
Ludo does this
Eric:
Ludo: "Er, you may want to get down from there, miss"
Dessa:
Cosima hops down and moves away, too, but is staying a bit away from the others.
Eric:
Richter is just here, right? Hanging out with Blintz and Ludo?
Eric:
As a meat shield?
Behold the Void:
I believe so
Eric:
he looks tanky
Behold the Void:
He probably introduced himself earlier to the Queen, and we'll backlog it
Behold the Void:
And got sent on this mission to be tanky
Blazing Fool:
Yup
Behold the Void:
While the Queen is attending to politics with her minotaur bodyguard
Dessa:
"You know. Isgardia invaded Astheled. I -am- an elf. Are you sure you should be warning me?"
Eric:
Ludo: "Goodness, are you here to kill us?"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Well, you're welcome to climb back up if you like."
Dessa:
Cosima chuckled. "No thank you on that."
Eric:
Ludo: "I should warn you, that I'm a great and terrible wizard."
Dessa:
Cosima: "I should warn you that I don't really care."
Eric:
Ludo: "Just saying, you know"
Blazing Fool:
"Enough. We've a task to accomplish, do we not?"
Eric:
"If you ARE here to kill me"
Dessa:
Cosima laughed. "I'm not, I'm not! I might be an elf, but I have no care for Isgardia. I was just testing you."
Eric:
*muttering* "How does everyone else make it sound so impressive?"
Behold the Void:
(Setting explosives?)
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "I suggest projection."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Speak from the gut."
Eric:
*furious note scribbling*
Dessa:
Cosima (aside, to Blintz): "He needs a lot of help, doesn't he?
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "So much help, you really have no idea."
Behold the Void:
(Gonna move this along)
Behold the Void:
Setting the explosives is pretty easy for a goblin
Behold the Void:
And they explode rather spectacularly, leaving a big gaping hole that goes deep into the surface
Dessa:
Cosima: "So... why are you guys going down there?"
Eric:
Ludo: "To see what's down there, of course."
MadarFoxfire:
"This kind of thing is probably what got my honored ancestors eaten by dragons, come to think of it..."
Eric:
Ludo: "Surely there aren't any dragons left down there after all this time"
Eric:
"Right?"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "...Well. You can't make an omelette without breaking a few wizards."
Eric:
*gulp*
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "...Eggs. Slip of the tongue."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "You should also try looking less breakable."
Behold the Void:
(Anyone lighting a torch?)
Eric:
Ludo produces a light source in the form of a floating ball of light that hovers about a foot over his head
Dessa:
Cosima: "Couple years in Zeiban'd do it, I'd say. You don't last out there without toughening up."
Behold the Void:
While the area does appear to be originally a natural cavern
Behold the Void:
As you descend, you note that the walls look hewn away
Behold the Void:
But not by stonecutters
Behold the Void:
It appears they were extended by giant machines of some sort boring into the earth
Behold the Void:
You also note that the path downward has the remnants of what was once a cobblestone road
Eric:
Ludo: "So there WAS a city here. Amazing"
Behold the Void:
As you descend deeper into the cavern, the walls cease being stone and instead are coated with a strange bronze metal
Eric:
"Or at least SOME kind of civilization"
Behold the Void:
It glimmers eerily in the light and is cool to the touch
Dessa:
Cosima's certainly impressed with the sights, but not enough to drop her guard.
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Of course there was. We have a long and noble history."
Eric:
Ludo eyes Cosima "So you're following us?"
Dessa:
"Call me curious." And not just about the caverns, either, but she left that unsaid.
Behold the Void:
The path ends at two immense doors
Behold the Void:
They are slightly ajar
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Fair enough, that."
Behold the Void:
They seem to be made of the same bronze metal
Behold the Void:
But the doors are reinforced with orihalcum woven into them
Eric:
Ludo: "Just who ARE you, then?"
Behold the Void:
With a script that Blintz can recognize from ancient goblin texts, but is unable to read (unless she chooses at a later point to spend 2 SP on it)
Dessa:
Cosima. "Cosima Liridon. Just a wanderer."
Behold the Void:
The doors are immense in size, they look as if they would take an entire army to move
MadarFoxfire:
"...Well. Should have dragged along a professor."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz peeks around the one on the left.
Blazing Fool:
"You're free to follow. If your aim is to sabotage our mission, you do so at your own peril."
Behold the Void:
It's pitch black, but Blintz does see some glinting from the light on the other side of the doors
Eric:
Ludo: "Yes, yes. Richter, was it? Please keep an eye on her"
Dessa:
Cosima: "Why would I want to sabotage you? As long as you're not with Isgardia, I don't care who you are."
Eric:
Ludo: "So you CLAIM"
MadarFoxfire:
"Long as he's eyeing her, bring your wizardball over here a bit."
Eric:
Ludo shines his light into the darkness for Blintz
Blazing Fool:
"Forgive our suspicion. These are dark times."
Behold the Void:
A shimmering city greets you
Behold the Void:
Delicate spires sheathed in the same burnished bronze
Behold the Void:
Wide boulevards and narrow streets
MadarFoxfire:
It is beautiful. Blintz wipes away a tear on Ludo's sleeve.
Behold the Void:
Although time has taken a bit of a toll, it is still mostly intact
Dessa:
Cosima wandered over to look in, too. "Oh wow..."
Eric:
Ludo doesn't notice
Eric:
"...How long has this been lost?"
Blazing Fool:
"Don't be overwhelmed. Beauty is danger's favorite mask."
Behold the Void:
You also note something else interesting
Behold the Void:
There are statues everywhere
Behold the Void:
Of goblins
Behold the Void:
Most of them are in poses of abject terror
Behold the Void:
As if they are running from something
MadarFoxfire:
"I'm not a historian, I'm an *artist*."
Eric:
Ludo: "Interesting art choice..."
Eric:
He was referring to the statues
Eric:
but it works for talking to Blintz too
Dessa:
Cosima: "Uh... that doesn't look like anything -I- would call 'art'..."
MadarFoxfire:
"...I'm not an art historian, either, but this doesn't strike me as traditional goblin stonework."
MadarFoxfire:
"...Brasswork? I can't tell what they're made of from way over here."
Eric:
Ludo: "Well shall we go and investigate?"
Behold the Void:
The statues appear to be stone
Behold the Void:
Some sort of stone, at any rate
Behold the Void:
Nothing you've ever seen before
Eric:
Ludo taps one of them thoughtfully
Behold the Void:
It immediately crumbles into dust
Eric:
Ludo: "Er..."
Dessa:
Cosima: "Isn't goblin craft supposed to be sturdy or something?"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz gives him an unspeakably judgemental look.
Dessa:
Cosima: "Maybe you -are- tougher than you look."
Eric:
(Rolling a check to see if Ludo knows anything magical that could do this to someone)
* Eric rolls: 1d10+7 => 10 + 7 = 17
Eric:
shit yes
Behold the Void:
Ludo attunes himself to the world around him
Behold the Void:
And is suddenly hit with a rush of memories
Eric:
This isn't using magic
Behold the Void:
Ah
Behold the Void:
All right then
Eric:
it's just book learning
Eric:
an arcane lore check
Behold the Void:
Basically
Behold the Void:
These guys had the life sucked out of them
Behold the Void:
Rather violently
Behold the Void:
So quickly that they didn't even age
Behold the Void:
They just turned to stone
Eric:
Ludo: "uh...Blintz"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Yes?"
Eric:
"Do legends say anything about what KIND of dragons it was that attacked this city?"
MadarFoxfire:
(Do they?)
Behold the Void:
(Nope)
MadarFoxfire:
"I did mention that I wasn't a historian, yes?"
Eric:
"This looks like something some kind of undead creature might do to someone than what a dragon would do."
Behold the Void:
(Legends vary, most agree on dragons some say demons)
Behold the Void:
(Undead do show up from time to time)
Dessa:
Cosima: "So what was it you guys were coming down here for?"
Eric:
Ludo: "Our own reasons, miss. If you don't wish to continue, you are free to leave."
Behold the Void:
You do note that the goblin statues are all fleeing from something at the center of the city
Behold the Void:
Which is where most of the roads lead
MadarFoxfire:
"Could be undead. Could be demons. Could be dragons. But basically they were enough to kick out the entire population of the city..."
MadarFoxfire:
"...Which, as you may have noticed, is very large."
Dessa:
"The ones who made it, at least..."
Eric:
"Well, whatever it is"
MadarFoxfire:
"I am hoping that they have all starved to death in the absence of my tasty kin."
Eric:
"This place looks like it's been abandoned so long even the ghosts have settled down and started families"
MadarFoxfire:
"Let's go exploring, shall we?"
Eric:
Ludo strides on towards the center of the city, confident that they are the only living things in the cave
MadarFoxfire:
"The big fella in front."
MadarFoxfire:
"He seems to be the most dragon-proof."
Blazing Fool:
"The big fella has a name." Richter says, but he smiles a little as he says it.
Behold the Void:
As you move further, you notice an enormous pillar that goes all the way up to the cavernous ceiling, easily two leagues tall
Behold the Void:
The light glints off it creating an eerie green reflection
Behold the Void:
It appears to be an emerald of some sort, although you've never seen an emerald even a fraction of the size
Eric:
Ludo: "Well, if that's ACTUALLY an emerald, our financial woes are at an end"
Dessa:
Cosima: "Looks to me like taking it out would pull the ceiling down."
Eric:
Ludo: "good point."
Behold the Void:
Blintz and anyone else who knows history, make an Intuition roll
Eric:
Ludo reads all the damn time and is very smart, does that count?
Behold the Void:
yes
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10 + 6 => 9 + 6 = 15
* Eric rolls: 1d10+6 => 4 + 6 = 10
Behold the Void:
Ludo I generally assumed would be making this roll
Dessa:
Cosima knows -elf- history, not anything that would be down here
Behold the Void:
You both recognize, either from stories or from lore
Behold the Void:
A contingent of automatons
Behold the Void:
Said to be the greatest creations of the goblin empire
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "...Oh. Oh my. If we could get this lot in gear, we'd be set."
Behold the Void:
They are standing in formation around the emerald pillar, which seems to connect to a building of some sort
Behold the Void:
They are all deactivated
Eric:
Ludo: "Do you think they still work?"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Let's find out!"
Behold the Void:
As you approach the pillar
MadarFoxfire:
Her hands are already in her tool pockets.
Behold the Void:
You hear a strange... wailing sound
Behold the Void:
It's on the edge of your hearing
Behold the Void:
And you're not QUITE certain it's actually there
Blazing Fool:
Richter's hand goes to the hilt of his sword.
Dessa:
Cosima: "Huh? Did anyone hear anything?"
Eric:
Ludo dismisses it as his imagination
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz makes sure that her pistols are within quickdraw distance.
Behold the Void:
The automatons appear deactivated
MadarFoxfire:
And proceeds to start screwing around with ancient historical artifacts.
Behold the Void:
But they appear like they could regain functionality
Behold the Void:
If a power source were activated
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "They're outta juice."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "But I bet I could get them up and running after we fix that."
Behold the Void:
There is an opening to a building at the foot of the emerald pillar
Behold the Void:
A doorway, rather
Eric:
into the pillar itself?
Behold the Void:
With a rather ornate door blocking it
Behold the Void:
There's a building built around the base of the pillar
Eric:
k
Eric:
Ludo goes to investigate
Behold the Void:
The door doesn't appear to have any handles on it
Behold the Void:
And has more of the text
Eric:
oh
Behold the Void:
As Ludo approaches, it swings open
Eric:
okay that gave him a start
Behold the Void:
Well, more appropriately
Behold the Void:
It is sucked into the top of the building
Eric:
He peers into the door
Dessa:
Cosima: "Hey, mister big and powerful wizard, you might wanna be careful there."
Eric:
he's making the face on his token
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Pressure-activated...? Maybe magic."
Eric:
Ludo: "What the worst that could happen?"
Behold the Void:
Inside the door is a giant automaton
Blazing Fool:
"Perhaps I should take point."
Behold the Void:
It appears to be connected to the pillar
Behold the Void:
And it has "veins" of green energy running through it
Behold the Void:
There is a console nearby with a number of bars and levers
Eric:
This looks like it still might be working, and so he's showing a modicum of caution
Eric:
and just observing without touching anything
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz proceeds to inspect the console.
Behold the Void:
The wailing is a bit louder
Dessa:
Cosoma: "Okay, I'm definitely hearing something now."
Dessa:
Cosima*
Behold the Void:
The console is well-labeled
Behold the Void:
But it is all in old goblin script
Eric:
Ludo: "Curious. Perhaps a trick of the wind from outside reverberating through smaller caverns?"
Behold the Void:
Fortunately, there are also some pictographs near it, one of the gauges depicting an active golem when dialed forward and an inactive golem when dialed back
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz cracks her knuckles.
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Shall I?"
Eric:
Ludo: "By all means."
Behold the Void:
(turning the dial?)
MadarFoxfire:
Dialing that thing.
Behold the Void:
The console whirrs to life
Behold the Void:
The language it speaks is thickly accented and archaic, but Blintz can generally understand it, as can anyone else who speaks Goblin
Behold the Void:
"Initiating activation protocol."
Behold the Void:
"Soul missing, selecting soul."
Behold the Void:
The green pillar flashes with light and a torrent of green light spills forth
Behold the Void:
The sound of the wails is now deafening
Behold the Void:
But just as instantly as it came, the light vanishes
Eric:
Ludo: "What's it saying?"
Dessa:
Cosima turned to Ludo. "THAT IS NOT A TRICK OFTHE WIND!"
Behold the Void:
And the central golem, as well as, by hte sound of it, the golems outside, stand up
Eric:
Ludo: "Hmm."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "It was missing a soul."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "That's not science, that's straight-up magic."
Eric:
Ludo: "Something wrong with that?"
Eric:
Do the golems look hostile?
Behold the Void:
Control Golem: No! Never again!
Behold the Void:
Control Golem: We will not allow the pillar to be activated ever again!
Behold the Void:
Two Golems enter the room
Behold the Void:
More sound like they are on their way
Behold the Void:
(Roll initiative)
Eric:
si
Eric:
so
Eric:
hostile
Eric:
?
Dessa:
(how do we roll in here?)
Behold the Void:
Yes
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Well, I don't know a thing about it for one."
Eric:
type "/roll 1d10+whatever"
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10 + 5 => 4 + 5 = 9
Dessa:
and initiative is + Dex, right?
Behold the Void:
yep
Dessa:
I haven't played in a while...
* Dessa rolls: 1d10+9 => 1 + 9 = 10
Dessa:
*facepalm*
* Blazing Fool rolls: 1d10+3 => 5 + 3 = 8
* Eric rolls: 1d10+3 => 9 + 3 = 12
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "What exactly is bad about the pillar, now?"
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+2 => 1 + 2 = 3
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+2 => 7 + 2 = 9
Behold the Void:
Control Automaton: Our sins will never again be repeated!
Eric:
Ludo: "Are you sure we can't discuss this!?"
Behold the Void:
(Initiative, Richter?)
Blazing Fool:
8
Behold the Void:
damn it
Behold the Void:
I just want a normal pen
Eric:
?
Eric:
oh
Behold the Void:
I'm trying to draw a line
Behold the Void:
God damn it
Behold the Void:
Why does it fill in?
Behold the Void:
I don't want it to fucking fill in
Behold the Void:
Screw it
Eric:
oh god how do I erase that
Eric:
there
Eric:
as you can see, we're still learning how to use this program
Behold the Void:
Fuck it
Behold the Void:
There, walls
Eric:
the tool you want is "Draw straight lines", btw
Behold the Void:
I tried that
Behold the Void:
It was still filling boxes in
Eric:
well that's weird
Behold the Void:
I agree!
Behold the Void:
I think I have something selected that I don't want
Behold the Void:
I will mess with it later
Eric:
well, there's the room
Behold the Void:
(Ludo)
Eric:
using shove on the small automaton next to him
* Eric rolls: 1d10+6 => 7 + 6 = 13
Eric:
intuition
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 3 + 6 = 9
Behold the Void:
It is hit
Eric:
42 damage
Eric:
less res
Behold the Void:
21 damage!
Eric:
and that's it
Behold the Void:
Cosima
Behold the Void:
With your 1 on initiative
Behold the Void:
You are still second
Dessa:
that's kinda sad...
Behold the Void:
Guess what stats the Automatons don't have!
Eric:
You're the only dex build here
Dessa:
how do I move?
Eric:
click and drag
Dessa:
that's what I'm doing, it's not moving her
Eric:
that's odd
Dessa:
how can you move her and not me?
Eric:
I have no idea
Eric:
there we go
Dessa:
oh, hey, I figured it out... hit the wrong button sometime
Dessa:
Cosima: Well, Wizzy had a good thought, I don't want to fight them -in- this room
* Dessa rolls: 1d10+6 => 9 + 6 = 15
Dessa:
Dex attack with push reposition 1
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 1 + 6 = 7
Behold the Void:
HIt!
Dessa:
58 minus defense
Behold the Void:
30 damage!
Dessa:
(yes, Dessa actually has a character that can actually do some damage here)
Eric:
(I'm still not going by any of the rules changes for 95, btw)
Behold the Void:
(Blintz)
Behold the Void:
(95 will be used when we officially release it*
Behold the Void:
)
Eric:
(okay)
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "We'd better work over that big one while we're at it."
MadarFoxfire:
pistols on all three
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10+5 => 9 + 5 = 14
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10+5 => 1 + 5 = 6
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10+5 => 7 + 5 = 12
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+7 => 1 + 7 = 8
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 2 + 6 = 8
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 1 + 6 = 7
Behold the Void:
Hit on Control Automaton and Automaton 2
Behold the Void:
Damage?
MadarFoxfire:
43 physical
Behold the Void:
15
MadarFoxfire:
(and reload)
Behold the Void:
To the ones you hit
MadarFoxfire:
"They're pretty tough biscuits, these ones."
Behold the Void:
The Control Automaton's eyes flare as it moves in
Behold the Void:
(Oh right, it's defense rolls are 1 lower, I'll have to remember that)
Behold the Void:
Blintz, defend muscle
MadarFoxfire:
subbing dex
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10 + 5 => 10 + 5 = 15
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+8 => 7 + 8 = 15
Behold the Void:
Hit!
Behold the Void:
70 damage, including the increment from failed Dex dodge
MadarFoxfire:
what's the increment again?
Behold the Void:
+8 for getting slammed into a wall
Behold the Void:
The wall is not damaged
Behold the Void:
5+attacker level
MadarFoxfire:
what level is it?
Behold the Void:
3
MadarFoxfire:
so 72 total
MadarFoxfire:
ouch
Behold the Void:
70 damage less defense
Behold the Void:
And then 8 that doesn't take defense off
Behold the Void:
But yeah, 72 total I suppose
Behold the Void:
Don't get hit by that
Behold the Void:
He hits like a truck
Eric:
Ludo: "It doesn't look like it can fit through the door!
Eric:
"
Behold the Void:
(Richter)
Blazing Fool is disconnected.
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "How many of them do you think are out there?"
Blazing Fool has connected.
Blazing Fool:
Sorry 'bout that, got booted
Behold the Void:
It's OK
Eric:
Ludo: "Less GIANT ONES than there are in here!"
Behold the Void:
(Richter)
Blazing Fool:
My speed is 3, so I can move three squares?
Behold the Void:
Yep
Behold the Void:
You can move diagonally at no penalty
Blazing Fool:
Should I go for the control golem, guys?
Eric:
but leaving a square adjacent to an enemy costs two squares of movement
Eric:
that's how it works, right?
Behold the Void:
Yep
Dessa:
(I say, if you have something with reposition, try to get the other small one out the door)
Blazing Fool:
Nope, I'm basically a straight-up Fighter type
Eric:
get in the way of big things
Eric:
so that he doesn't pound my pasty ass into hamburger meat
Blazing Fool:
Gonna take that as a yes re: attacking Control Golem
Eric:
being next to enemies means they get slowed down too
Behold the Void:
(It's also a bit harder for large enemies to move around you)
Blazing Fool:
I just add my Muscle to physical attack rolls, right?
Behold the Void:
(Yep)
Blazing Fool:
Golems wouldn't be immune to stuff like Sapping Strike, would they?
Behold the Void:
Everything works on everything
Behold the Void:
Immunity is for chumps
Blazing Fool:
Cool, gonna use War's Sword
Blazing Fool:
d10, right?
Behold the Void:
Yup
* Blazing Fool rolls: 1d10+5 => 3 + 5 = 8
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 5 + 6 = 11
Behold the Void:
The blade is unable to pierce the Control Automaton's defenses in a meaningful way
Blazing Fool:
Baaah
Behold the Void:
It's eyes then flash, and you hear a shuffle of activity as it commands the other automatons forward
Behold the Void:
Blintz and Cosima, defend muscle
Dessa:
subbing Dex
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 vs. Blintz => 10 + 6 = 16
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 vs. Cosima => 4 + 6 = 10
* Dessa rolls: 1d10+6 => 4 + 6 = 10
Dessa:
crap
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10 + 1 => 6 + 1 = 7
Behold the Void:
51 damage, including the extra from a failed dex defense
Behold the Void:
Did Blintz sub dex as well?
MadarFoxfire:
nope
Dessa:
that's a damage increment, right?
MadarFoxfire:
there was no chance she was gonna make it
Behold the Void:
43 damage to Blintz then
Dessa:
oh, wait, you already included the extra, okay
Behold the Void:
Yeah I did
Dessa:
so Cosima takes 32
MadarFoxfire:
putting her at 99/200
Eric:
*rates this encounter as challenging*
Behold the Void:
End of round!
Behold the Void:
+1 Valor!
Behold the Void:
Ludo!
Behold the Void:
You guys can generally care, by the way
Behold the Void:
That the Control Automaton is, in fact, controlling the others
Eric:
generally care?
Behold the Void:
notice
Eric:
k
Behold the Void:
I don't know where care came from
Eric:
anyways
Behold the Void:
I am going to assume conversation with Sheepy
Eric:
using my support action as a half move
Dessa:
lol
Eric:
and using PHASING
Eric:
er
Eric:
wait
Dessa:
sure, blame Sheepy
Eric:
no yes that's what I'm doing
Behold the Void:
Ludo is going to notice that there are a lot of Automatons moving towards your position
Eric:
and now from over here I'm using Lift on the big golem
Behold the Void:
All right
* Eric rolls: 1d10+6 => 4 + 6 = 10
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 1 + 6 = 7
Eric:
HA!
MadarFoxfire:
oh man
Behold the Void:
You fling the golem skyward
Eric:
in the air, 27 intuition damage
Eric:
and immobilized
MadarFoxfire:
is that the one that took out Phrixos for like two turns in a row XD
Behold the Void:
6 damage!
Dessa:
Cosima would've enjoyed seeing that...
Eric:
yes, Foxfire
Eric:
yes it is
Behold the Void:
Cosima
Dessa:
"Gee, thanks a lot. Now I can't reach the thing to hit it!"
Eric:
Ludo: "Deal with the little ones, then!"
Dessa:
attacking golem, dex attack with push
* Dessa rolls: 1d10+6 => 7 + 6 = 13
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 7 + 6 = 13
Behold the Void:
Hit!
Behold the Void:
I thought Cosima was a feint build
Behold the Void:
Damage?
Dessa:
she's Agi/Guts/Mind
Dessa:
58
Behold the Void:
30 damage!
Eric:
oh god I keep forgetting all the shit MY build can do
Dessa:
and done
Behold the Void:
Did you account for the 2 movement to move out of Zone of control?
Behold the Void:
(Blintz)
Dessa:
I pushed him back one
Dessa:
which moved me out of ZoC
Behold the Void:
Ah, so you did
Dessa:
and she has a speed of 5, anyway
Eric:
So is Ludo feeling actively in danger right now
Eric:
from the other ones charging him?
Behold the Void:
The automatons are slow
Behold the Void:
But there are a lot of them
Behold the Void:
So he's probably not feeling too safe at the moment
Behold the Void:
But he's not in immediate danger
Eric:
ok
Eric:
Ludo: "There's a whole bunch more of the little ones out here!"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Then get back in!"
Dessa:
Cosima: "You didn't remember that from before we came in?"
MadarFoxfire:
Detonation on the one in front of her
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10 + 6 => 7 + 6 = 13
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 6 + 6 = 12
Behold the Void:
HIt!
Eric:
Ludo: "I'm new at this fighting thing, okay!"
Behold the Void:
(I may be adding line of sight rules, and possibly a skill that allows the circumventing thereof)
MadarFoxfire:
And a ton of frantic fiddling with various gadgets to satisfy Compulsion
MadarFoxfire:
63 damage
Behold the Void:
Mind damage?
MadarFoxfire:
yep
Behold the Void:
42 damage!
MadarFoxfire:
yaay
Behold the Void:
Moving at all?
MadarFoxfire:
...yes
MadarFoxfire:
I think I will
MadarFoxfire:
....I can't get her going
Behold the Void:
Mark the space you want to move to, I'll move it for you
Behold the Void:
I'll go ahead and keep the old rules, so the Control Automaton falls prone
MadarFoxfire:
diagonal up/left, then up one
Behold the Void:
Like so?
MadarFoxfire:
thank you
Behold the Void:
It cannot stand at the moment
Behold the Void:
So it's going to attack Richter
Behold the Void:
Richter defend muscle
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+7 => 7 + 7 = 14
Behold the Void:
BF?
* Blazing Fool rolls: 1d10+5 => 4 + 5 = 9
Behold the Void:
Hit! 62 damage
Behold the Void:
(Richter)
Blazing Fool:
Retaliation! Let's see if we can get some of that health back. Famine's Lance!
* Blazing Fool rolls: dice1d10+5 => Invalid expression: dice1d10+5.
Blazing Fool:
Whoops
* Blazing Fool rolls: 1d10+5 => 5 + 5 = 10
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 6 + 6 = 12
Behold the Void:
Er, 1d10+5, so 11
Behold the Void:
You do not break through it's defenses
Eric:
goddamn
Dessa:
"That thing's tough."
Behold the Void:
Blintz and Richter defend muscle
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 vs. Blintz => 6 + 6 = 12
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10+6 (sub int) => 10 + 6 = 16
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 vs. Ricther => 6 + 6 = 12
Behold the Void:
Blintz is fine, initiative next round is reduced by 4
* Blazing Fool rolls: d10+5 => 7 + 5 = 12
Behold the Void:
43 damage to Richter
Behold the Void:
+1 valor!
Behold the Void:
Initiative resets!
Behold the Void:
Blintz will be after Richter this round
Behold the Void:
Don't let me forget
Behold the Void:
(Ludo)
Dessa:
(Richter is after the Control guy, right?)
Behold the Void:
(Yep)
Eric:
Ludo is going to use shove on the automaton nearest to him
Dessa:
(drats)
* Eric rolls: 1d10+6 => 10 + 6 = 16
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 6 + 6 = 12
Behold the Void:
Hit!
Eric:
actually
MadarFoxfire:
(shoot, remind me to use combo attack once I'm back to normal)
Eric:
Into the wall
Behold the Void:
Extra damage!
Eric:
42 damage + 7 for collision!
Eric:
and
Behold the Void:
38 damage!
Eric:
phasing back through the wall so I can see the battle
Dessa:
can we push past our own teammates, or not?
Behold the Void:
You may
Dessa:
oh, good
Eric:
using exploit weakness on the big golem
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+7 => 5 + 7 = 12
* Eric rolls: 1d10+6 => 3 + 6 = 9
Eric:
damn
Eric:
wait it has 7 intuition?
Eric:
fucking-
Behold the Void:
Yes it does!
Eric:
*grumbles*
Behold the Void:
These are Str/Mind/Guts builds
Eric:
ok done
Behold the Void:
(Cosima)
Behold the Void:
Hold on there
Dessa:
you said I could go past
Behold the Void:
Moving out of adjacent spaces to an enemy
Behold the Void:
Is 2 movement
Behold the Void:
You have 5, correct?
Behold the Void:
Or 6?
Dessa:
yeah
Dessa:
5
Dessa:
so it should have been 1, 2, 3-4, and then 5
Behold the Void:
Ah right
Behold the Void:
OK
Dessa:
since you said before that we round up
Behold the Void:
Miscalculated on my part
Behold the Void:
We do round up
Dessa:
heh
Behold the Void:
I thought you were one space away
Behold the Void:
Go for it
Behold the Void:
One more space, anyway
Dessa:
and she's using her spin attack on both golems
* Dessa rolls: 1d10+6 on control => 4 + 6 = 10
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 9 + 6 = 15
* Dessa rolls: 1d10+6 on other dude => 10 + 6 = 16
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 7 + 6 = 13
Dessa:
wow, they have dex of 6?
Behold the Void:
Hit the smaller Automaton
Behold the Void:
Subbing muscle, you do chip on the control
Dessa:
aaa
Dessa:
58 damage, and chip is my damage increment or it's?
Behold the Void:
Yep
Behold the Void:
30 on the smaller automaton
Behold the Void:
The smaller automatons are getting a bit low
Behold the Void:
And now the Control Automaton is going to stand up
Behold the Void:
And crush Richter and Cosima
Behold the Void:
(both of you defend muscle)
Dessa:
subbing Dex
* Dessa rolls: 1d10+6 => 2 + 6 = 8
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+8 => 4 + 8 = 12
Behold the Void:
Hit on Cosima
Dessa:
how bad?
Behold the Void:
75, including botched defense
Dessa:
I'm down to 72, still above critical
Behold the Void:
vs. Richter
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+8 => 9 + 8 = 17
* Blazing Fool rolls: 1d10+5 => 8 + 5 = 13
Behold the Void:
62 damage
Behold the Void:
(Richter)
Blazing Fool:
WELP, I am in pain here. Starting to think taking out that Control Golem isn't gonna happen.
Blazing Fool:
Should I go after the little one?
Behold the Void:
The smaller golems are not critical yet
Behold the Void:
But they're close
Eric:
I think we have to take the big one down to win, though
Behold the Void:
Depending on how you guys do it you may be able to calm him down enough to negotiate
Behold the Void:
In fact, I'll start that right now
Behold the Void:
That's his rage
Behold the Void:
You may use a support action to try to talk him down
Eric:
So...
Behold the Void:
Richter is up
Behold the Void:
Did I not call that?
Dessa:
nope
Behold the Void:
I totally did
Eric:
you did
Behold the Void:
I think BF may be considering his next move
Dessa:
aaa, it already scrolled off my screen
Blazing Fool:
What would we roll to negotiate with him?
Behold the Void:
Resolve or Intuition
Behold the Void:
If you want to be logical or hot-blooded about it
Behold the Void:
Well, hot blooded or logical
Blazing Fool:
Stats are the same for me, so let's try logical
* Blazing Fool rolls: d10+3 => 1 + 3 = 4
Blazing Fool:
WHAT
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+7 => 7 + 7 = 14
Eric:
I think you also have to actually say something
Eric:
not that it worked
Behold the Void:
Generally syes
Blazing Fool:
Aaaaagh my rolls are awful tonight
Behold the Void:
In this case I think we can just say his rage stays the same
Behold the Void:
You may now make an attack!
Eric:
unless your character can actually fire logic rays at people
Eric:
which would be an awesome character concept
Blazing Fool:
Alright fuck it, let's try Famine's Lance again
* Blazing Fool rolls: d10+5 => 8 + 5 = 13
Blazing Fool:
Now that's more like it!
Dessa:
on which one?
Blazing Fool:
The little guy
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 2 + 6 = 8
Behold the Void:
Hit! Damage?
Blazing Fool:
39 damage, Richter is healed 20
Behold the Void:
Actually the way it goes is
Behold the Void:
11 damage
Behold the Void:
Healed 6
Behold the Void:
Healing is after defense
Blazing Fool:
Ahhh okay
Behold the Void:
And these guys have defense out the ass
Behold the Void:
However!
Behold the Void:
It is now also at critical HP!
Behold the Void:
(Blintz)
MadarFoxfire:
"Hey. HEY. You're intelligent, yes? Can we talk about this like reasonable beings?"
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10+6 (calm support) => 6 + 6 = 12
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+7 => 1 + 7 = 8
Behold the Void:
It grumbles
Behold the Void:
"The time for talk is past, I cannot allow you to take the pillar. Too many lives have been lost."
Behold the Void:
(You may now attack)
MadarFoxfire:
skipping down to slap a Pocket Device on this one
MadarFoxfire:
...damn, still out
Eric:
down one square?
MadarFoxfire:
someone move her above that one on the bottom?
MadarFoxfire:
perfect, thanks
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 8 + 6 = 14
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10+6 => 8 + 6 = 14
Eric:
do you have the move tool selected?
Behold the Void:
Hit!
MadarFoxfire:
63!
Eric:
the "Interaction tool"?
MadarFoxfire:
yep
MadarFoxfire:
*shrug*
Behold the Void:
It comes crashing down, the soul leaving the body and getting sucked into the pillar once more
Eric:
weird
Eric:
MOVING ON
Behold the Void:
The other automaton punches Richter, defend muscle
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 1 + 6 = 7
Dessa:
do you have the pointer tool, or the measure distance selected? That's what my problem was earlier
Eric:
Ludo: "That's what it's afraid of!"
* Blazing Fool rolls: d10+5 => 7 + 5 = 12
Eric:
Ludo: "That's what happened here!"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "I really do not see how this is contributing to lives being lost..."
MadarFoxfire:
"Er, not lost."
Eric:
Ludo: "That pillar absorbs energy from living things!"
Eric:
"It did that to everyone in the city, that's why they're all crumbly stone"
MadarFoxfire:
(ah, that did it)
Behold the Void:
The a tear of green energy spills down the Control Golem's cheek
Behold the Void:
"We... we were fools to think such a machine could be controlled..."
Dessa:
"Wait... are you one of the goblins that used to live here?"
Behold the Void:
Control Automaton: My name is Issarus Baughn. I am the head engineer of the Automaton Project.
Behold the Void:
(Richter defends successfully)
Behold the Void:
Initiative resets, +1 valor to everyone
Behold the Void:
(Ludo)
Eric:
Ludo uses bind on the big golem
Eric:
weaken intuition
* Eric rolls: 1d10+6 => 10 + 6 = 16
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "So... it was more of an intellectual digging too deep than a physical, dragony sort?"
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+6 => 3 + 6 = 9
Eric:
-1 to attack rolls
Eric:
now to reason with him!
Eric:
...
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "I can sympathize. Not on this scale, mind you, but I've gotten in over my ears a fair few times."
Eric:
actually lets use battleanalysis instead
* Eric rolls: 1d10+6 => 2 + 6 = 8
Eric:
oh come on
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+7 => 8 + 7 = 15
Behold the Void:
You cannot discern it's patterns
Eric:
done
Behold the Void:
Issarus: We reached too high and thought ourselves gods. This is the price of our folly, a price I cannot allow to be paid again
Behold the Void:
(Cosima)
Dessa:
Cosima's kinda looking down to the side. "What did you build the automatons for?"
Dessa:
(do I roll to see if he answers her?)
Behold the Void:
Issarus: An army to conquer the world and bring the arrogant elves and humans and minotaur to their knees.
Behold the Void:
Obviously, it did not work as we had desired.
Behold the Void:
(Roll if you're actually attempting to talk it down)
Dessa:
(she's not)
Dessa:
"Yeah, well, Elves can definitely be arrogant, no arguing that."
Behold the Void:
(Any actions?)
Blazing Fool:
"Such lofty ambitions could have had no other outcome."
Dessa:
(I forget, if she doesn't attack, can she recover health or stamina, or does that require a specific skill?)
Behold the Void:
(You can recover an increment of health or stamina by spending your entire action to charge)
Behold the Void:
(You may also gain 2 valor in this way)
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "We would certainly be better off in charge than Isgardia."
Dessa:
(okay, she's recovering an increment of health, then)
Behold the Void:
(Blintz)
Behold the Void:
(Since talking down is a support action, it can be followed up with another if you wish to use your attack action as well)
Eric:
actually hang on
Eric:
my last action was illegal without moving
Eric:
there
Behold the Void:
ok
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz is just gonna sit down on Flamington and argue.
MadarFoxfire:
"You won't lose anything by cooling off to talk."
Behold the Void:
That's reasonable, +1 to your roll
Eric:
Ludo chimes in
MadarFoxfire:
"If you're still unhappy, we can continue our current trend of senseless destruction."
* MadarFoxfire rolls: 1d10+7 => 10 + 7 = 17
* Behold the Void rolls: 1d10+7 => 1 + 7 = 8
Eric:
"I sure don't want to keep fighting anyone"
MadarFoxfire:
(if I overdrive, can I convo-crit?)
Behold the Void:
That's -2 to rage
Behold the Void:
Yes you can
Behold the Void:
5 is crit range for noncombat
Behold the Void:
So you're already crit, you can extend it out even more
MadarFoxfire:
(yeah let's DO IT)
Behold the Void:
And I'll give you another +1 for Ludo's assist
Behold the Void:
So -4 to rage
Behold the Void:
The Control Automaton slumps and then seats himself
Behold the Void:
"Very well, I shall listen."
Behold the Void:
The other Automatons back off
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Does it hurt, being a golem?"
Behold the Void:
Issarus: It is not painful. Knowing what I have done to this city, however, is far more so.
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "...Say, can you fellows leave the area at all?"
Eric:
Ludo: "It certainly isn't the kind of thing we want to have happen again"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Some fresh air might do you good."
Behold the Void:
Issarus: We can, but abominations such as us should not see the world above. We have lost our right to it.
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Well, it's not your fault."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "...Actually, it's just your fault."
Dessa:
"At least you're not abominations in action. I'd rather take the ugly looking ones than the ugly acting ones."
Blazing Fool:
"Blintz. Are you particularly sure you want them on the surface?"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "No reason the rest of you shouldn't get a change of pace?"
Behold the Void:
Issarus: We bound ourselves here for a reason. This power must never be used again. The Dynaris Emerald is an accursed discovery, I would shatter it in an instant if I could.
Eric:
Ludo: "Think of how much we could learn from them! Who cares what they look like?"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "They seem fairly rational compared to some pointy-eared lunatics I could mention."
Eric:
Ludo: "The knowledge of a lost civilization backed by minds that could warn us how to avoid falling for the same dangers they did!"
Dessa:
Cosima: "Present company excluded, I hope?"
Behold the Void:
Issarus: It has been long since I have spoken. I do not feel our knowledge is valuable, but we are willing to share. To a degree.
Eric:
Ludo: "Naturally I wouldn't want to learn how to suck the life energy out of a city"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "You did follow us down here. I suspect mental instability."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "But you aren't a bad sort."
Dessa:
"I'm not a cat, curiosity won't kill me."
Eric:
"But how to make such automatons such as these, powered by a less...unpleasant source."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Cats have multiple lives; they can afford a bit of risky experimentation."
Eric:
"We could change the world!"
Dessa:
Cosima looks around the cavern. "You know, this place would make a good, defensible fortress, if one needed one."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Or at least learn how to make those nifty swooshing doors."
Eric:
Ludo: "Yes, or that."
Behold the Void:
Issarus: NO. Automatons are a false hope.
Behold the Void:
Issarus: It is impossible to create machines of magic or technology that can think, reason, and fight.
Eric:
Ludo: "Okay okay!"
Behold the Void:
Issarus: Only the souls of mortals will fuel them, and I will not see that happena gain.
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "Well, you're an engineer, no matter what you've done to yourself."
Behold the Void:
*again
Behold the Void:
The rest, however, we can teach. We made good things, before our lust for power destroyed us.
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "I bet you've forgotten more than my entire family's learned in a lifetime."
Eric:
Ludo: "This is exactly what I was hoping to find down here"
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "That reminds me, you wouldn't happen to predate the Arch Blades, would you?"
Behold the Void:
Issarus: The arch blades were forged in this very room.
Eric:
!
Behold the Void:
Issarus: It was the Dynaris Emerald that called forth the primal spirits and bound them to the blades.
Blazing Fool:
"...We've made quite the find here."
Dessa:
"Arch blades?" Cosima had heard of them, but why did these people want information on them?
Eric:
Ludo: "Someone should return to the surface to let the others know what we found"
Eric:
"I, of course, volunteer to stay down here and learn what I can from Issarus."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "We can pester him in shifts."
Blazing Fool:
"You should not stay alone. There's no telling what may befall you here."
Eric:
Ludo: "Then Blintz can stay with me. We won't be alone that way"
Eric:
"Go on, we'll be fine here."
MadarFoxfire:
Blintz: "That is the sort of wizardly logic that I approve of."
Behold the Void:
Issarus: You may stay as long as you wish. These halls were meant to be filled with life, even a little wil improve their current condition
Blazing Fool:
"If you insist. ...Take care, both of you."
Behold the Void:
SESSION COMPLETE
Eric:
ALRIGHT
Eric:
awesome
Behold the Void:
There may be some post session conversation and such in the journals
Behold the Void:
Depending on how it goes
Behold the Void:
Feel free to make posts about it and the like
Eric:
any now I go
MadarFoxfire:
Later!
Eric is disconnected.
Behold the Void:
I am out myself, but will still be in chat
