Ťooc: non-human critter? You mean Leon? ť The other group seems to be arming themselves, the hazy outlines making it hard to rpedict just what they are doing.. but battle lines are a bout to be drawn. Ťooc: Battle lines? You mean Adam Warren-esque speed lines? ť << Action. :) >> [Emili] Something feels odd about this.. but we have to beat them up first! * Johnathan smirks, stepping back. "That's the Emili we all know and love." ...Guys... do you even NOTICE who this is...? * Tahn steps back... [Elrika] It seems like.. but why are they attacking.. o_o [Adam] Forget taking, we have to fight before they hit first! I don't know... << er talking >> But we can't fight them! ...But if they attack... * Tahn nods. "Looks like it's time." >> Battle Begin!! * Tahn cracks his knuckles "It may be a long shot... but it's my only choice." Let's hope I've researched it enough... and goddess help us if I screw it up... * Tahn starts chanting... That sounds like something I'd say... luck, Tahn. >> Enemy Front: Warped Swordsman, warped Gunman, Warped Axeman, Warped Thief, Warped Beast >> Enemy Rear: Warped Angel, Warped Magi << Time to rumble. >> >> Tahn's turn. * Tahn channels mana into the surrounding area, forming an almost opaque white aura of power around himself... Fire, water, heed my call... * Tahn kneels, pressing his hands to the ground... Air, earth, let your power flow... * Tahn raises his arms to the heavens, crying out the final part of his spell...! Light and darkness, strengthen our souls beyond reality! * Tahn screams out in pain as the light washes over the party, covering them in the strength of all the elements! Ťooc: ^_^ Ooh. What I miss ť * Haylee is back (%Backo!%) (%away(15mins 33secs)) (pec) << Very little. >> Ťooc: Joy upon joy :D ť >> Tahn casts Power Surge! All party stats increased! Ťooc: You missed my spiffy-looking spell ť O_o Head...rush... << brief pause for math. :) >> A most interesting trick, Tahn... Most interesting indeed.. Ťooc: Pops open a dew :) ť I've been working on that spell since I first met you guys... Very nice! ^_^ Ťooc: Quick question, Stor. Is it possible to watch both sides, just for the helluvit? ;) ť Ťooc: Noo! Then we'd know what they're gonna do :p ť Ťooc: EXACTLY! ;P jk ť Ťooc: I just wanna see how he's handling our actions. ť << Strategy discussion is occuring over there, Tahn. I'd say it'd be a bad idea. >> << whew. ok ^^ >> Ťooc: Fine. ť >> Warped Thief's action! << For the record, you all go first now, cept. Bree.. ouch. ;) >> Ťooc: If bree uses something like disarm I'll kill her :O ť >> Warped Thief takes out a small item, threads of blue empowering her! << Well, I'm dead last. ;) >> >> Warped Theif casts Bunny Dragon Vigor! She is Pre-emptive! Attacks x2! ...This IS who I thought it is... ...but is it really them? It could just be a trick...dopplegangers, if you may. >> Elrika's turn. Yeah.. hrm. [Elrika] What should I do? What if we're wrong? Is it really them... or is this some sort of.. test? * Haylee hmms as well. "If they were our friends...why would they attack us?" The doubt that the guardian said we'd succumb too could be this hesitation... >> Elrika nods, and lifts her hand.. Feeble Litany is cast! ...Good point, Johnathan. I'll fight... but only on the terms I set. It would be a fitting test.. >> The angel looks a bit weaker.. her AP & DP drop by 203! >> John's Ice Mongrel comes out of his shirt, growling a bit.. it leaps at the other cerature! Whoa! Ťooc: You know... Ishtar's gonna be the only thing that saves their asses ;) ť Whoa! Uh...whoa? Ťooc: Question: Is Ishtar strong to all status attacks? ť << Yes. :) >> Shared brain moment. Ťooc: Manajofuck! ť * Johnathan grins. "Quite a scary thought for you two, considering that I'm a literal half-wit." ^_- Don't look so down on yourself... >> 1: 300! 2: 299! 3: 287! Ťooc: Both Ish AND Bree are, Hay. ť Ťooc: But Tahn's not going after Bree anyways ^^; ť Sure. >> Haylee's turn. I'll look down on him ;) * Haylee meditates...a soft light glowing around her as she concentrates.. The Mongrel runs back to John, a piece of Xavier's scruff in it's mouth. ^^ * Haylee blinks at this... * Johnathan smiles faintly. "Hey, little guy... didn't realize you were gonna be so enthusiastic." >> Haylee meditates! Wis is maximum! (1500) Ťooc: ^_^ Oh yeaaaaah ť Ťooc: (ala Leon) Thanks to me! ť >> Emili's turn! [Emili] Sword of Light, to me! :D Ťooc: Emili: Gimme Heaven's steak with that too, Bitch! :D ť << Doh! ;) >> >> Emili casts Stars of the Wind! She wields the Star Dragon Sword! Ťooc: Light, come forth! ť << It's only a flashlight. ;) >> Ťooc: But it can illuminate the world! ť You can't help but notice the sword standing out amidst the hazy figures.. Ťooc: Eh? ť Ťooc: Excuse me? ť Ťooc: Wrong side, I bet :p ť << no.. not really.. just inaccurately changed >> << ^^ >> >> Adam's turn! [Adam] Give me strength! Holy Justice! Ťooc: >> Adam gets down and funkay! ť Ťooc: BTW...what's my ATP and Wis now, Stor? ^^; ť >> Adam holds out his sword, as energy seeps into his body.. Holy Justice! His AP is at Max! << Tahn, you're wis is 1500, AP 570 >> Ťooc: So weapon skills will be fairly potent. Gotcha. ť >> Warped Swordsman's action! << Even WITH all stats boosted, he's faster than me? LOL! ;) >> >> As in the blink of an eye, the man rushes at Tahn! Ťooc: Storen, this midi on the SOM page for the empire...this is from Orge battle, right? ť << Yes Hay. :) >> Ťooc: ^_^ I smart. ť Tahn! O_o >> A strange aura encompasses him as well.. Blade costs halved! * Tahn tries to block the hit with his whip...and doesn't succeed well. >> The shot hits him full on twice, but his magical aura repels the brunt of it! 90 damage total! ^^; * Tahn coughs as he gets the wind knocked out of him regardless. >> Warped Beast's action! You okay, Tahn? O_o >> The ebast tries to leap at Tahn in a fury, but ends up smacking into Emili instead! ^^ * Tahn coughs. "Fine." ...I don't think they're too happy about what I did, though. Seems not.. I just worry about what's going to happen when the doppler Leon starts firing... ....oh dear.. oh, dear. If I survive...Doppleganger Leon won't have much of a brain to fire anything. ^_- Oh, trust me, Haylee. I'll make sure that he doesn't have much of a head. * Tahn grins. >> 1: 200! 2: Miss! 3: 178! 4: 210! 5: 204! Naughty Tahn! [Emili] Owww! ;_; >> Emili is Ko'd! Ťooc: O_o With Emili BOOSTED he still did that?! shiiiit ť Em! << Sick Hit.. >> Okay! Back to buisness now! ...wow. The tuberat's stronger than I though... ^^; << If only she'd used Dragon Hope.. ;) >> << I was using that next. ^^ Xavier is the only one who can hit you well in this state. >> >> Warped Axeman's action. Ťooc: Jack and his Electric Barberella! :O ť >> The man takes otu a Vigor Peach as fara s you can tell, and gives it to the beast that downed Emili.. 250 HP restored! Someone take care of the doppler Xavier... I've got Leon under control... Right... >> Warped Guman's action! << er Gunman :) >> Ťooc: I'd actually have him _under_control_ if I was brandon hehe ;) ť ..so you say... Agh! O_o He's going to attack! Look out! ... >> Gunman delays! Ťooc: Can DNW come in and play? ť Ťooc: Er...watch? :D ť Ťooc: He can play too! ;) jk ť *** Johnathan sets mode: +l 5 ... What the...? *** DNW (dnwwheeler@pool0789.cvx21-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG2 >> Warped Angel's action! << People are watching there, why not here? Hey, DNW. No passing info back and forth to anyone. ;) >> Ťooc: DNW is a good boy. :D ť >> The angel extends her wings out, the tips glowing softly, a techno-barrier springing to life about the party... >> Anti-Phase shield! Magic Damage halved! Ťooc: ;_: ť ...A phase shield? ...No matter. I'm not all pretty spells. Hum This trips me up a bit. >> Gunman executes his delayed action! * Tahn steps back. Oh...shit. * Haylee sighs. -_- >> He lowers the gun again, turning to the magi.. he delays! >> Warped Magi's action! << actually.. aw damn.. this John was first.. ^^ >> Ťooc: Heh ^^ ť << Confusing :o >> ... Damn Kopii Leon needs to make up his mind. This is insane... -_- >> The mage makes VERY familiar gestures, especially to Johnathan.. >> He Mystic Vigors.. he casts Surge upon Gunman twice! Ťooc: Warped Magi: Blah blah blah. Yada yada yada. Yeah. ť * Johnathan makes a face. Ok.. we know who that's supposed to be, then. >> All in all, the gunman gains 250 AP and Hit! He also gains 128 ME and an additional 127 Hit! Never thought you see yourself flip yourself off, eh John? ;) ... I am fucked. Don't give up yet! If we die and bleed all over the floor, THEN you can give up! Have I ever told you I hate y...uh... I mean... the other you, John? -_-; Oh, no worries. I rather hate him too. >> Johnathan's turn. Don't hate yourself! :/ << take that back ^^ >> >> Gunman executes his delayed action! Ťooc: Nono! We like the OTHER way more! ť * Haylee sighs and tries to defend...like THAT'll help :p >> The muzzle of his two guns are undoubted pointed at our favorite Assisst mage. Tahn... ^^; It shouldn't sting too badly...really! * Haylee winces in advance. ... * Tahn smiles and flips off the Kopii Leon. Ťooc: Kopii paste? ť Ťooc: BRB! ;_; My bladder is so small... ť Ťooc: It's a Slayers ref, really. ť >> 1: Miss! 2: 202! 3: Miss! 4: 224! >> tahn is Ko'd! Ťooc: Oh, fuck. I just BARELY took enough damage, Stor. ;_; ť * Tahn slumps over, but remains conscious... << I know.. but he has a lot more.. ^^ >> Ťooc: John...can you revive people? ^^ ť Ťooc: Hope to hell he can. ť << John can. Fragment John can't >> >> Gunman defaults to Haylee! Ťooc: I lose ANY and ALL of my bonuses, regardless. ť ... ...T... That's not a fake... * Haylee flips Leon off. ^_- That's the real Leon... How do you konw...? ...I just do. Those are the real thing. Those are our friends we're fighting. But why are they fighting US? ...I blame three people. Fir...first, Lure. S..secondly...Virtue. Finally... * Tahn looks to John. Is Lure even here? Virtue...maybe...and why the hell blame John!? ...Because he's... two. >> 5: Miss! 6: Miss! 7: 209! 8: 233! 9: Miss! 10: Miss! 11: Miss! Ťooc: Am I dead? :P ť * Haylee gets caught in the side by the bullets! O_o Ťooc: No. Barely... ť Ťooc: Yay! ť << Nope.. at 155 >> Blaming me, Tahn? As you will. It's not...intentional, John. I know that. * Haylee drops to her knees, but remains conscious. "Well, fuck me up with a chainsaw, Leon! I bet you've waited the whole damn journey to do that!" It's...it's happening because you're... * Haylee spits out a bit of blood, her profanity pretty much telling you she's ticked :p * Tahn coughs up a bit of blood. because you're fragmented...so to...*coughs up more blood*...speak. Ťooc: LOL... Hay and Tahn are on the same wavelength.. ť Ťooc: Spit in the spitoon, Tahn! ;) *Wharfk!* ť << at least I know the reacts next turn.. *sigh* ^^ >> >> Johnathan's turn. << We're all first, except me, huh? ;) >> << It's a jumble.. next will be better. :) >> ...God...anyone got a doctor? -_-; Well..

Ťooc: OKAY HAPPY BUTT! I DON'T HAVE ANY :D ť * Tahn wincces. Ťooc: winces ť * Johnathan points at Haylee and at Adam, distorting time around each of them. Could you...not do that, Haylee?

Thank you, John! ;_; >> Round 2! :D *** Haylee has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) *** Haylee (dinner@ip85.san-francisco31.ca.pub-ip.psi.net) has joined #lunar-iog2 *** Johnathan sets mode: +o Haylee << Welcome back. >> Ťooc: Thanks :) ť << wb >> Make use of it, you two. It's all I can give you right now. Okay... ^^; >> No enemies have fallen yet. W..watch out... >> Warped Thief is Pre-emptive! * Tahn coughs up blood one last time, and finally passes out from the pain. Tahn! >> She slips on a ring, and looks at Haylee.. ^^ * Haylee makes a face. :P >> Warped Thief has Ranged attack! She uses Fury Punch! Ťooc: Told ya she'd come after me, John. Did you believe me? Noooo! ť << I didn't think Storen'd let her take two actions. ;) >> Bad Bree! Ow! OW! NO COOKIE! OWWW! X_x << will she hit you without the Shiro Tail though. ^^ >> Ťooc: I hope not. :P I'd rather not die :p I'd rather live, you know? cuz if not...we got no healer :p ť Ťooc: Well... John. Very pitiful healer, but still healer. ť << Hey now. ;) >> << And.. Elrika? >> Ťooc: A level 12 healer, John. Think about it ;) ť << 13! ;) >> Ťooc: Oh my bad! ;) ť >> Missed 11 times! she connects twice for 3 and 4!

Do the math. >> << You actually have shitty dodge. ^^ >> * Haylee has her eyes closed. "Did I die?" Ťooc: :p After that spell, I do? ť << Your dodge is lower than Haylee's.. Leon's attack is higher.. plu she has a 250 attack and 300-some hit boost. >> Ťooc: ^^ I thought that she connected on punch three and four :p ť Ťooc: He. ť >> Tahn is KO'd! Ťooc: DON'T !@$&*)%&* REMIND ME! ;_; ť I'm not dead? ^_^ Ha! >> Elrika's turn. [Elrika] Tahn, please hold on.. Ťooc: Elrika: Tenaciously to my buttocks! ť >> Elrika casts Resurrect Litany! Tahn revives with 229 HP! * Tahn pulls himself up slowly... It wasn't worth your trouble to do that, Elrika... >> The puppy pulls back a bit, defending John, and looking at the other mage oddly.. They're just going to go after me again... They don't realize we're us. Or maybe they do... Maybe they do, and I'm just the whipping boy as usual. ... Oh, well. No big deal. If I die, I die. I've learned what I needed to in life. I have...a purpose. Don't be so down, Tahn. I've got a plan. :) [Mongrel] Aroo? * Tahn grins morbidly. "Fine. But I'm going to need to do that spell again if I want even the SLIGHTEST chance of surviving... >> Haylee's Swiftness action! Hey, little guy... * Johnathan smiles sadly at the mongrel. * Haylee stands up slowly. "Here we go..." The Mongrel looks up at John, and back at the other mage. Haylee... Adam.. if you both hit them all.. as hard as you can...? ..but would that be enough.. [Adam] Don't have to tell me twice. * Haylee extends her arm gently, reaching out towards the sky and closing her eyes.. Opening her mouth delicately, a beautiful and soothing melody flows out and echoes unnaturally around the party. The song fills their hearts with new hope and heals all wounds! * Haylee 's song echos off the walls, even after her mouth closes... >> Haylee's song echoes unnaturally... Ťooc: Heal! Heal! :o ť Ťooc: No heal? ;_; ť Ťooc: I thought you said it would work? ^^ maybe i misunderstood. Fusk ^^; ť << There's an elipsis. We might be ok. ;) >> Ťooc: *prays* ^^ ť >> Haylee sings Althena's Song! >> Everyone is healed to Max! :) * Haylee whews, and stands up tall! ^_- ...That's a step forward... Here's another giant leap! >> Haylee's turn. * Haylee raises a hand up, her eyes glowing dimly. "This is your brain on high powered Haylee style drugs! Sit back, we're gonna watch yer brains explode! Mindflayer!" << o_O >> << Any questions? :) >> * Haylee flings a huge wave of pisonic energy at the enemy party! * Tahn smiles. "It seems that you've had one too many head rushes from me and John's spells, Hay..." Maybe two or three too many.. Maybe that, or my chants have lost their creative spark...humm... ...Kowai. ... * Tahn sighs. "Why are you guys doing this, again?" If these guys stop fighting us...^^; They can't understand us, we can't understand them. ...Typica. Ťooc: +l ť That was the kind of thinking that made me a spaz, John. It's also a brutal fact. When we can't understand the other person, and he's shooting at us... Maybe we should hold them off till we can figure out how to comminucate... ...IF my magic didn't just kill them all ^^;;; << Pause one second.. >> Maybe we should put them down, now, decisivly, and worry about communicating after. >> Thief takes 535 damage! Gunman takes 545! Swordman takes 567! Axeman takes 635! Beast takes 712.. KO'd! Angel takes 340! Mage takes 659.. Ko'd! Ťooc: Yeaaah! ;) ť * Haylee grins. "Better." ...You just downed your boyfriend, Haylee. -_-; Half of him, at least. >> The Angel's barrier flickers, protecting from total annihilation. ...Hey...Yeah! :| * Haylee frowns. "Sorry John...." Ťooc: <--- Ditz ť * Johnathan winces a little. << Your ealize, Hay would ahve kileld everyone except Ishtar and Leon. ^^ >> I think I felt that, sort of. But no matter... Adam.. if you can follow that up.. I think we'll have this won... Johnathan indeed feels a twinge of pain as the mage falls down. Ťooc: I know >:) Good thing I didn't do arrow barrage ;) ť >> Emili is Ko'd! ^^ >> Adam's turn. [Adam] Right.. prepare to meet my blade, whoever you are! ...John...what are you planning? * Johnathan rubs his forehead. "Let me get back to you after my head stops throbbing, Tahn. I DEFINATELY felt that." >> Adam casts Sybillium, he and his images dashing at Leon! Ťooc: Thank you :O ť Then it is them...Should we even keep fighting? Of course it's them. ...I'm not fighting. Not if I have a choice. And of course we should. I can't guarantee that they'll stop. I'm NOT going to risk hurting Bree... not like Haylee just did... ..if we don't knock them out... all of them.. we may die. That's fine by me... but I won't hurt her! >> 1: Critical! 1083! >> Gunman falls! [Adam] Hah! Now you! Then I might have to, Tahn...unless you can break through! >> Adam guns for Bree, swinging! ^^ Ah Adam...Tahn's going ot kill you in .5 seconds. ^^; Ahaha... No...not yet. Later. I'll wait until we get out of here, THEN draw and quarter you. * Haylee pat pats Tahn's head in a non annoying way. "Don't worry...John'll heal her. He'd BETTER heal her." >> 2: Missed! 3: Missed! 5: Missed! 4: 1022! The thief goes down, slightly knicked. Me? No, not you, Haylee... [Adam] There, I didn't hurt her too badly. * Tahn looks at Adam and quite quickly slaps him. Don't act so smug, you asshole. Ťooc: Tahn: Fresh! ť Tahn...chill! She's not dead! Tahn, DO go to hell. Adam's attack in interrupted slightly by the slip.. his last strikes miss Scott! Ťooc: Oooh. forgot about Scott :p ť [Adam] Hey! ...I don't care. We can fight amongst ourselves after we finish...uh...fighting amongst ourselves. >> Adam's Swiftness action! * Johnathan mutters a few curses. Ťooc: Whoa, Adam can STILL go? O_o ť Ishtar, Adam! I'm sorry to suggest it, but if we can't knock her out, she'll just bring Leon back.. ..and he'll shoot us full of holes... again! [Adam] But.. if that IS her.. Don't let it get to you... Adam, you just knocked out Tahn's girlfriend, and now you have issues...? Geez... I felt bad enough getting John! :/ But we have no choice! * Tahn growls. "You obviously didn't have any problems with going after the rest of them." [Adam] Adam begrugingly lets a projectile fly at the Angel in the rear row.. >> Adam begrugingly lets a projectile fly at the Angel in the rear row.. * Tahn whispers something in Haylee's ear. * Haylee blinks? <> * Haylee whispers something back. >> Sonic Slice! The shield flickers! *** DNW has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) I'm not asking you to kill her, Adam... just to knock her out.. to spare us all more of this. ..if she gets mad, you can lay the blame for this... all of this.. utterly on my shoulders. ..after all, I've known from the beginning. >> The angel is hit hard by the attack, even through the shield.. she takes 699! Ťooc: She's dead, right? ^^ ť Ťooc: So who's left on that side? :) ť >> She is barely standing, looking at ADam.. Ťooc: She's not dead. And trust me - given the chance, Tahn'll fix that. ť [Adam] Ishtar.. I'm sorry. -_- Ťooc: Doh. ť Ťooc: Yeah, but will he get that chance? ^^ Nooo ť Johnathan Hyral...
