[20:54] we need a latern..guess who gets to be it? [20:54] its under 50 degrees below zero out there...and the winds can kill you within minutes [20:54] but there is a spell you can cast...it takes a strong concentration to do, but I think you can do it [20:55] What is it? [20:55] * Celes whispers to zepp, "I'm glad Vassago is actually boosting one's self-confidance for once [20:55] * Raena turns her head to Donovan. "The essence of Fire.. the Red Aura. If you could do what you did before but with everyone... a shielding spell." [20:55] its called flame barrier...its an airtight enclosure of fire...its not the safest thing, but its the only thing that will keep us alive [20:55] * zeppelin chuckles [20:56] Are you sure it won't melt the ice out there? What if it goes out of control and I kill you all? [20:56] well, that is a possibility...but we have a better chance with the spell than we do on our own [20:56] and if we want to get to delinius' cave, we have to walk [20:56] its just under two miles north of here [20:56] * Donovan nods, the thought of killing his comrades still lingers in his mind. [20:57] Okay, I'm ready. [20:57] but besides [20:57] if you did kill all of us [20:57] at least you'd go down in history as the first person ever to kill a dragonmaster [20:57] even zophar would be proud [20:57] That's not very reassuring! [20:57] * Raena shakes her ehad. "Please don't speak of that, Vassago..." [20:57] * Vassago chuckles [20:57] yes he would be [20:57] * Celes sighs [20:57] geesh, you people are so up tight [20:58] now can we not mention that transvestite fairy gods name again? [20:58] Let's go. [20:58] * Vassago laughs [20:58] Donovan is a servant of Althena, her mercy will show us through him... [20:58] funny to hear that from you reth [20:58] * Vassago chuckles [20:58] Thank you Raena! [20:58] So I'm not worried. Let's keep our thoughts on the Black Aura. :) [20:58] * Rethwyn gags [20:58] okay, everybody go pack your bags...aki has informed me that she is going to stay behind on this one... [20:59] * Donovan stands up and heads to his room. [20:59] * zeppelin gets up [20:59] well...here we go again [20:59] off on more exciting adventures [20:59] althenas mercy will show us through...tch... [20:59] * Celes stands up [20:59] who knows what might happen this time! [21:00] I don't want to think about what might happen this time [21:00] all I know is...I found the perfect villa in a real estate ad of mine, so if I die...you won't live it down vassago [21:00] we'll be killed by ghaloen in a spectacular fashion [21:00] Don't worry, you and your little concubine there will be just fine [21:00] thats what'll happen [21:00] which should be quite an honor [21:00] ...or is for me [21:01] * Raena goes to get her staff and travel bag, before she hears anything more. ^^ [21:01] reth...are you feeling okay? [21:01] * Rethwyn shakes head [21:01] * Donovan comes back in with a pouch attached to his belt and his gloves tight on his hands. [21:01] ghaloen has been a legend for time unmeasurable in the vile tribe [21:01] getting your ass kicked by him is supposed to be an honor [21:01] then wouldn't it be more of an honor to kick his ass, and take his place? [21:01] * zeppelin grins [21:02] * Donovan sits down and waits. [21:02] .. [21:02] Okay everybody...enough chit chat [21:02] we don;t stand a chance against him [21:02] we better leave now... [21:02] if not, we'll be stuck outside at night time [21:02] * Raena returns, all prepared. [21:02] and then...not even Donovan can help us [21:02] i'm more worried about being killed [21:03] by an old idol.. [21:03] * Donovan stands up, silent. [21:03] 4|The group, looking halfway between excited and impudent, trudges off into the tundra...leaving the ship behind| [21:03] 4|end session|
