Session Start: Sun Feb 13 22:13:44 2000 * Logging #Lunar-IoG to '#lunar-iog.log' Right-o.. let's begin while my company is subdued! ;) -> [TheStoryteller] PING Come on Kung Fu Kenobi! Scott, you alright? should be...I'm cloned..I have LB set up on Frontier and Scott on Garg. Ok. :) or is it the other way around? Rasis, you don't want Troops? Oh to hell with it...I'm cloned..that's all there is to it. ~~ SESSION START ~~ It times out, E! Go get it! << Sorry >> Ťooc: theforce.com ť Ťooc: I think ť << righto. >> thetruth.com ....the truth is out there. Ťooc: You should be able to get the other parodies too ť In our last episode of Illusions of Granduer.. we witnessed a tragic event, the death of the brilliant Sinel. Ťooc: Crazy brilliant man :p ť <> << Tragic nothing! HA! We whupped him! ;) >> << ...I mean.. er.. how sad >> Ťooc: No, John, YOU WHUPPED him :p ť Adam finally found the truth about his lineage, and the rest of you finally were granted access to the goal before you.. the Red Dragon Cave.. and ultimately Ruby.. << What, me? ;) >> <> << E, that addy is... wrong >> Ťooc: Lemme get it for you ť The passage before the opened door exudes heat, the climate controls here obviously not working, or possibly broken. Not far down, you see the mettalic walls end, the yellow line fading.. <> Ťooc: theforce.net, sorry ť << GO! :D >> << Nevermind, E, found it. >> * Scott digs a book out of his pack and starts reading as he walks. << Ah, so'd you >> Scott, if you walk into a lava hole doing that... Adam walks ahead of you down the passage at an even pace. Scott...uh...you shouldn't be reading a book here... * Leon folds his arms I'm just reading more to learn more about my star magicks... and I'm also watching where I'm going. Uh huh. ^^; I think she means the book may catch fire... ...you're... doing.. magical research.. As you proceed further, the sides of this narrow passage do indeed end, giving way to red, jagged rock. There was supposed to be a spell that......Hey, John...do any of your spell books have anything on Star magic? Yeah. *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... ...in the middle of a dangerous situation. Almost immediately, Haylee gets a familiar feeling. might come in handy, John. * Haylee blinks. ...She's near. * Johnathan snorts. "And I thought I was bad." Geez... 1min5sec lag X_x;;;; Eh? The only stars he's gonna see are the ones flying around his head << OW :( >> *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... Ruby. We're close. *** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 30: Red Rubies, Blue Destiny | Location: Red Dragon cave, B1 | 5170 $P =-' Which way is she? * Scott stops short of the jagged rock. Not positive...hang on. Hmm...now where is that chapter... * Haylee tries to focus her mental energies. *** Bahamut has quit IRC (Quit: Argh! GPF hell! Stupid BSoD. :/) * Scott flips a few more pages... You can tell where? All I can tell is that she's definately here. I can feel her power.. That's what I feel too. But as to where she is exactly...not so sure. * Bree shrugs "I can't feel anything but the heat..." And Scott.. yes, but only briefly. The stars aren't something that really interest me... so I haven't looked too far into it. The air is very thick and steamy, almost like you're walking through a thin fog. it is rather warm in here... No duh, Scott. ^^ Ah, here it is. [Ishtar] The Red Dragon Cave.. * Bree coughs "We're all REALLY going to need showers after this..." * Scott starts reading mre intently. A shame Tahn isn't here. A little breeze would be nice. * TheStoryteller goes http://www.rpgcafe.net/IoG/Music/Dragoncave.rm to listen * Bree grumbles "Yeah.. the jackass...." * Johnathan inhales deeply, and makes a face. "I'd try it myself, but heaven only know what would happen." Tahn... don't look at me...I gave up water magic when I killed DarkStar. *** Will has quit IRC (Quit: "The powers of the Gods are beyond any man's abilities, even yours Vagnard... You should know your limits!") Good thing you did too, Scott. Before you is two twisting passages, left and right.. * Bree stops and looks at them "Oh boy.. do we split up? Pick one...?" * Leon stops at the fork * Scott keeps on with his reading.. Hm. Left? * Johnathan looks at the divergence. "I can't tell, one way or the other. Haylee, you have any feeling for this?" good as any, I guess. Not really. But I just happen to think that the left feels lucky. Want me to go take a look? << Geez.. *kicks Pat out* HAHAHA >> No. I don't think we should split up.. it would be advisable to stick together. [Ishtar] No.. it could be too dangerous here.. :/ * Scott keeps on reading his spell book. << Ooooh, I can lag horribly! Excellent. <:D >> * Bree smells the air "Maybe Ruby has a scent...?" The paths seem similar, though from one you can feel the heat getting slightly stronger. Bree, in this heat, just about everything has a scent. * Leon shrugs, "Not to where any of us could pick it up." There is also a dim light from fartehr down the right. ...Hm. Leon, you pick. "That's what I mean.. if she lives here, she's probably really sweaty and stinky." *smiles innocently* She's also a Red Dragon. I doubt she's sweaty and stinky. ^^; * Leon shrugs, "Since when do I factor into your overall decision making..I don't care." On second thought...right? ok...just lead the way. I'll follwo you. It's a joke.. geez.. Hmm... I agree.. that light is making me curious. [Adam] I say we go right. then let's go. << wow, it's so tiny this group :) >> <> Right? Sure. Why not? Ťooc: I gotta pee :O BRB ť *** Bahamut (sixthbeta@mx1dl031.brandon.escape.ca) has joined #Lunar-IoG Just pick a way and go aleady just lead the way, folks...I'll follow. * Johnathan starts down the path, since no one else seems to be about to. * Scott follows John, keeping one eye on John and one on his reading. Adam and Ishtar pick right as well. Going fartehr into the caverns, you notice the light is given off by small streams of molten rock beneath the layer of jagged red gems.. if it weren't so hot, I'd say this is rather scenic. It pulses with an eerie glow, with a noticeable increase in temperature. ;) * Scott puts his book away. ok, I'm memorized all I can from there. It Ťooc: evil ;_; ť It's getting hot... O_o How would the temperature determine if something is scenic or not I'd say its rather scenic regardless. The floor starts inclining much more sharply downward. *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... not a lot of people go to extremely hot places like this to sightsee, Leon. You've missed the point entirely. *** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 30: Red Rubies, Blue Destiny | Location: Red Dragon Cave, B2 | 5170 $P =-' Hey John...how're you holding up? But you do tend to do that sort of thing. ..alot. well, I was reading, for a good part of the trek in here, Leon. AS you go down you are met by a sharp U-turn in the passages. There's only one way to go.. following it for a bit, the walls begin to receed as you enter a larger underground chamber. You missed it again Scott. ^^; * Johnathan makes a face. "Let's just say a heavy robe isn't the most comfortable thing down here." All arounf you are rivers of oozing, molten rock, slithering across a wide plain. * Leon waves his hand, "Don't worry Haylee...the more sense you talk, the more of course he steers..it's better off not to strain yourself over it." Even getting close to them, you almost feel your boots about to catch fire. ^^ Ťooc: off ť * Johnathan frowns. "Although I don't envy some people's armor.." . o O ( Well, you could take it OFF...I wouldn't mind...gah...wish I could tell him that...Hee hee hee...!! Agh! Mental links to others! Bad Haylee! Bad! ) Adam starts sweating in his plate armor. "GReat.. we can't walk oevr this.." You're just weak. Hmm... Idea. ^_^ * Haylee looks at John. "How would you like to float?" Surveying the area, it seems the only way is forward, but if you touched the ground it would be really unpleasent. ^^ << one sec everyone. :) >> ~~ MEANWHILE ~~ Ťooc: WAH! I want to make John fly! ť << YOu can, just hold up ^^ >> ~ I beleive I can fly... I beleive I can touch the sky.... ~ <> Bree, though walking down the right at first, second guesses and heads back without anyone noticing... The left path you find yourself taking twists and turns a little, finally stopping at a dead end. * Bree wanders down the path not taken "Shit... maybe there's a hidden switch or something..." On the floor is.. oddly.. is a treasure chest. :) "Woo!! Jack pot!" *kneels down to open it up* As Bree goes to do her thing, the lid opens with a creaking noise. Inside is.. 1 $p. ^^ *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... Ťooc: HAW! :D ť *** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 30: Red Rubies, Blue Destiny | Location: Red Dragon Cave, B2 | 5171 $P =-' <> *** Heather (Sarah@mtw224.nf.sympatico.ca) has joined #Lunar-IoG * Bree sweatdrops and takes it "This has to be some trick..." However, you hear a low rumbling, getting louder. * Bree looks around "Oh great.. PLEASE not another rolling boulder!!" Before you can react the floor beneath you gives way! :O << lol.. >> *** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info... * Bree flails around as she falls "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!" ~~ BACk to Party ~~ Ťooc: Bree: On second thought, the rolling boulder is good! ť As you ponder how to get across the virtual river of flame, you hear a muffled "WAAAAAAAAAAAH!" ^^ * Leon extends his arm out and catches Bree, as if he was expecting her to drop ...Bree! Eh? I recognize that 'waah' anywhere...! O_o Bree falls out of a little hole in the cieling, and nearly lands in the firey mess! * Bree hops out of Leon's grasp "You pervert!" Shit! Bree! * Haylee grabs Bree before she becomes Crispy bree. Leon gets her in time, though. Oops.. so he did or didn't catch Bree? ^^; Ťooc: I knew what was gonna happen ;) ť ....one doesn't see that all the time. it's raining thieves. You ntoice some of the rivers start surging and shifting their courses. Bree, be more careful. * Bree holds her chest, panting in a desparate attempt to catch her breath, scared out of her mind * Leon set her down on the ground. Bree...:/ I was being careful! There was no way I could've known about that! Were you alone? Now, instead of one giant lake, it looks mroe liek a snaking passgeway through them and the scorched earth. That's a stupid question Leon.. [Ishtar] Bree.. at least you're ok. If you were alone, then you weren't being careful. And if I wasn't... we wouldn't have been able to cross that big mess would we? Ooh...I had a plan for that. We could have found a way, I'm sure. If you hadn't, we would have found a way. Haylee said something about floating...? The tributaries of magma also are much bigger now. YOu can barely concetrate in this sweltering environment. Yeah... * Bree smiles brightly "Well, I get credit for this way." John...Here...Wanna fly? ^_^ Not in my eyes. * Bree fans herself "Lets leave the heated arguements for somewhere cooler?" * Johnathan looks almost questioningly at Haylee. "What are you talking about?" I say we get our business taken care of and get out of this heated ENVIRONMENT for somewhere cooler. You'll see... ;) You can see some safe ground leading into the maze a bit.. Right! I agree with Scott... lets just get things done and go out for ice cream. Get ready for your frequent flyer miles. :) * Haylee focuses her mind powers to lift John off the ground slightly :D Scott, you talk like a bad Kung Fu movie, put a lid on the pathetic dubbing. [Ishtar] Make me think of Emili.. :/ *wipes some sweat off her brow* I could get you all across. But I wouldn't be able to follow. * Johnathan blinks, looks down, looks back up at Haylee, and looks back down again. Johnathan feels his feet slowly rise off the floor. Kick, John! Kick! ^_- Well.. I'm not going to stand around in this sauna.. I'm going ahead. Amid the shock, you get a good view. Tell me whatcha see before I put you down. Stop being brainless and stay here. I have to agree with Bree. There's a n opening way back, but there's a lot of twists in the rivers, and they seem to keep changing. You were 2 inches away from be coming a crispy critter There are bits of rock.. and if I hop from bit to bit, I can cross... you guys float fall or run if you like. I can see.. an opening back there.. * Bree winks "Close never counts.." * Johnathan points. Is there any way to get to it? :D Ťooc: er -:D ť It does count, because I'm the one who saved you. But this magma keeps moving back and forth.. there's a path.. and now its gone. ..and there's another. ...but its gone too. Hmm...We'll have to time it then...or I can make you all fly across the room ^^; Some shift and rotate, closing certains ections off, while others form new passages. It looks like a living creature almost. You'd have to leave me behind though, and that'd suck. I could get you all across, but it'd leave me behind. Haylee starts losing her focus.. ..which is probably good news for you all anyway Maybe I can do what I did back in Sinel's lovely home... Ugh... Maybe not. John, I'm gonna have to put you down... * Haylee lowers John to the ground gently. ..if floating is what it comes to, I think I can work out a way to get you over as well. John floats down before long. * Bree steps to where she can get the best view, and studies the rock patterns and formations Do you want to try it my way? You are NOT trying to throw me across, Leon. ..that's way to helluva far. Are you saying I can't throw you that far? * Haylee laughs! IN Bree immediate area, there are two ways to go from the small patch. Right, and forward. The elft one is filled with molten rock as she looks. and don't even think of trying it with me. You're not Mister T, Leon. Even he can kick your ass. I'm not THAT aerodynamic, Leon. * Johnathan smiles as his feet touch ground. "Most interesting, Haylee." * Leon shrugs, "Have it your way." Thanks...^^; You know... <> * Haylee looks tired and sweaty now. Figured you'd all love the chance to leave me behind. ..the passages are only changing with time, right? *** Scott has quit IRC (Client exited) * Bree looks like she's about to sprint across *** Scott (bmscott@DIALUP95.TNMEM2.USIT.NET) has joined #Lunar-IoG *** Bree sets mode: +o Scott So you can stop time! :D * Johnathan pales a little. "Stop.. time..?" He can slow it down a great deal. Well...slow it down. ^^: ..I was thinking I could just speed it.. or rather us.. up. Making our window of opportunity larger. Stop...slow...something. Baaah.. if you need things to slow down, you're too slow yourself. something that'll be beneficial to getting us across. You know.. we take a minute to cross, five seconds pass, or something. *** Bristra has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) Well shit, if no one is gonna do anything.. * Leon looks around for large rocks. John...try it. :) ..shall we try that, or are there any better ideas? I'm completely open to anything that doesn't... right. The path infornt of Bree fills with lava. Anyone want to try going first? The left opens up. :) Ok, John...now. *** Ashton (flare_star@63.24.225.80) has joined #Lunar-IoG *** Bree sets mode: +o Ashton You're volunteering, Scott? Hmm... maybe if I wait till the right fills in.. follow it.. and when it degrades.. I hop to the middle one.. then when it degrades.. to the left.... John's idea is better Bree. Bree, why do you want to go alone so bad? I'm agreeing iwth Haylee taht maybe you should slo down time to get across. And less exciting too.. To see if I can do it naturally! The right paths closes off with the hot liquid. Since when do you care about excitement If you can't, Bree, you die. We can't afford that. * Bree shrugs, sounding blunt "We all gotta go.. so what?" I won't be there to catch you this time. [Ishtar] Bree.. this isn't a game.. if you fall in that you might get burnt so badly that.. :/ ..if you fall in, you'll most likely evaporate. *** Ashton sets mode: -o Ashton "So badly that no one will ever want me?" *stares coldly out at the changing lava, thoughts elsewhere* John just do it. There's no coming back from that... that's melted rock, Bree. Want you? You'll be dead. It won't matter. Bree...C'mon. Fine.. fine.. here goes.. I donno if.. The one in front of Bree drains a bit to her left. North is clear for the moment. Shut up and do it John Ishtar begins to hover... There are 3 passages. * Johnathan closes his eyes, grits his teeth, and starts murmuring, trying to hasten everyone. One hand is pointed palm outward, the other is giving Leon the one fingered salute. I suggest we split up..it'll be quicker that way. * Bree stares out at the lava, waiting for the right side to fill in, being silent.......... [Ishtar] Maybe I can go up and tell Bree where to go? lol! The right path starts filling in again. < hurry it up, Johnathan..... Lag --;;;;; Some of you begin to feel lightheaded.. * Leon grabs John's middle finger and bends it back It seems like you are walking on an airy surface, rather than charred rock. * Haylee blinks. "Too much heat..." * Johnathan moves the offending hand from Leon's direction to Scott's.. or tries to. * Scott starts to feel a little light in the head. "Must be close to heat stroke." @#$@#$@#$ LAG GRR.... << :/ >> Ťooc: Ooh! Maude died on simpsons! ť * Johnathan opens his eyes widely, losing the concentration on the spell. "Augh! FUCK!" Do not give me that finger again or I'll rip your arms off. * Leon lets go of it. YOu all return to a normal speed. John?! Why did you swear like that? ^^;;; *** Heather is now known as Rachel *** Bahamut is now known as Rahne The forward path fills... *** Ashton is now known as Chrys #@$@#$ lag made me miss the @#@#$ right path... *** Haylee is now known as YoMamma << OK I have a betetr idea. :) >> * Johnathan massages his finger, glaring at Leon. "As much grief as you've given me.. you even try to rip my arm off and I'm going to blast you from here to Meribia!" *** YoMamma is now known as Haylee I had a 2minute ping --;;;;;;;;;;;;; You'll have a hard time doing that without arms. Ishtar flies upwards. I'd damned well like to see you try! Don't test me. Huh...? ^^ C'mon... Behave...? Please? ^^; can we please stop fighting amongst ourselves. [Ishtar] Everyone.. I think there's a safe spot in certain places.. there's a few big boulders. *** ^Pana^^ (hey@PPPa82-ResalePhiladelphiaMetro1-1R7193.saturn.bbn.com) has joined #Lunar-IoG * Bree stays ready to race, waiting for the right path again "Dammit I'm trying to concentrate..." *** ^Pana^^ is now known as Bristra And it looks like the lava's flowing from the right to the left in a pattern... << er ish >> Hmmm.... * Johnathan clenches his fists. "I swear.." What is with you today anyway No shit.. I said it was flowing that way a while ago... no one listens to me... To make a logn story short the cycle repeats. :) Bree gets an opening to the right. Stop it! The both of you! * Bree dashes off in a burst of speed, taking her chances and trusting her skills! AS Bree enters the fire field, she can feel the blistering heat, remidning ehr of just how dangerous this is. ^^ After running forth a few feets, the path ahead starts filling with the deadly liquid. << er feet >> * Johnathan continues to glare at Leon, but falls silent. Through a thick haze, you see a big rock to your left. * Bree makes a leap for the one just filling in " Gotta make this...." Gak.. let me make that rock * Bree makes a leap for the big rock " Gotta make this...." * Scott eyes the paths. * TheStoryteller Bree makes a elap for the large rock, as the floor at ehr feet fills with magma! She slutches to the rock for dear life justa few inches away from being toastied.. ^^ If both of you don't knock it off... :/ I haven't said a word in quite a long time. Bree takes 8 damage from the proximity of the lava! * Bree hangs on, trying to get her footing to make the leap for the next path So save your threats. lol ^^;; hey, Leo....you're supposed to be helluva tough.....how far would you estimate it is from here to the end of that path? If you haven't NOTICED, Haylee, neither of us has said a thing since you LAST objected. ... Fine. You two just glare at each other all day. See if I care. The lava flows left again... the right part of the next platform empties. What does being tough have to do with distance estimations? * Haylee backs off. "And grow up. The both of you." We may just do that. Ishtar circles. "Bree, be careful.. it's a logn way to the next one.." well, I want to know just how far...and if maybe you could toss one of us to the end of that path. Some of you I could. and if so...I'd volunteer. Bree and Haylee are both light. * Bree leaps for the next path "I know! Just let me concentrate so I can judge distances!" You are not throwing me... ^^; I don't know about you though. Bree's feet feel a little releif as she actually finds firm ground, but not for long. I don't really throw people for distance. Hmm...maybe if I try my sixth sense spell, I can gain enough speed to get across... Oh for crying out loud. Bree can't seem to find another rock to leap onto in the immediate area.. and it's starting to lap at ehr feet. * Bree runs literally for her life toward her next objective .oO(Althena.. please let me make this....) * Leon walks over and picks up a boulder and attempting to plug up the magma flow somewhat * Bree looks around, trying to see through the haze and fog "Dammit.. I know there's something around here..." Bree runs left, trying to outdistance the flow... Leon succeeds in blocking one tributary with the large rock. O_ox; * Leon grabs another rock and repeats the process The flow behind Bree slows long enough to spot a rough, raised mound, above the rivers. Why don't we fucking over analyze something as simple as thi. ^^ Everyone is so much more agile at me. Ťooc: this ť * Bree leaps for the mound "Here's my chance!" I'm not exactly one of the Flying Graysons myself, Haylee. Leon put down a few more rocks, slowing the flow down more. * Leon keeps doing so attempting to stop it completely. Bree makes it, almost dropping some money into the warm river. ^^ * Bree flails around to snatch her money back "Whew... that was more than just close..." You all hurry up and get across before the magma eats through those rocks. Ishtar circles. "Bree.. one more! It's right ahead of you. Just.." * Scott hurries down the only clear path. Suddenly, a plume of fire laps up out of the lake, striking into the air! O_ox Whoa! what the.... * Bree looks ahead of her "Just wha..wa...waaaaaaaaaah!!" Ishtar fumbles and crashes into the wall. "Ow!" Ishtar! Bree feels the mound breaking up fromt he building pressure Leon's "dam" has caused. Ishtar, you ok? [Ishtar] I'm .. just dazed... -_- Come on people make it double time! These rocks will eventually melt as well * Scott hurries as fast as he can. Ishtar is by the entrance. Bree can see her. * Bree makes a leap to the next mound " I'm never going to hear the end of this..." The party makes it's way over the very hot ground. You can barely keep one foot on it. * Scott makes tracks as fast as possible,.. Haylee, take John and go. Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow! ^^; Bree leaps onto a rock near the exit and Ishtar's downed form. * Johnathan closes his eyes again, a hand on someone's shoulder to guide him, once more trying to speed everyone up. * Leon continues building the dam to keep the party members safe But it suddenly breaks up.. * Bree looks at Ishtar and her goal, breathing heavy "Just a bit more.. hang in there Ishtar, I'm coming to help!" Ťooc: We're dead! :D ť Leon and the others notice the wall collapsing behind them. Oh shit... Oh Althena! << er rock dam whatever :) >> Ťooc: I didn't go, Storen ;) ť * Scott pours on the speed.... * Johnathan grits his teeth and tries to speed everyone as much as he can when he hears the rock damn start to give. before long, a huge plume of magama brusts out of the rocks, throwing everyone apart! ^^ << Damn dam! >> << Dam, even! >> Ahhh! * Scott is sent flying. See you shoulda hurried. I was hurrying as fast as I could.... *** Chrys has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) The party and Bree (sans Leon) are thrown to the exit area, extremely shocked. ... O_o @_@x Ow? *** Neccy (alucard@24-216-14-31.hsacorp.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG Good, you made it. Leon now has a river of lava oozing out at his feet. * Bree continues her leaps and runs, heading for Ishtar *** Bree has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) ...Heh! My turn! LEON.... * Johnathan sails through the air, landing with a lovely thud. This is going to suck for me...but.. * Leon waves, "Just go. I'll be fine." * Haylee tries to lift Leon into the air. Ťooc: The tubby man! ť *** Windstar (Windstar@cs2734-90.austin.rr.com) has joined #Lunar-IoG *** Windstar is now known as Seht *** Seht is now known as Seth * Leon steps back to a safe spot Haylee can barely lift Leon from the great distance. He more like walks on air, artehr than staright otu floats. Walk, you damn moron! Powerwalk! You're heavy! No shit, I'm 6'5"/ I noticed! *** Bree (Selphie@wnch1-202.kih.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Bree Ishtar shakes off ehr daze.
