<Roric> "Who's yer daddy?"
<Roric> Mmm. ys 3 music.

<Cody> logs
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION START ~~
<Niki> «ooc: *tries to remember what happened last session.* OH yeah, I provoked a couple of silktails. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Winterebb needs to go up, Valkyrie! :D »
<Cody> «ooc: :o »
<GMStoren> Time has passed rather slowly as the evening in the holy city progressed. It wasn't long before the council had it's planned meeting later in the day, and rumors of what had transpired began to fly across two.
<GMStoren> « er town »
<GMStoren> One of these words stirred everyone to a state of unrest. The mention of "a sacrifice".... could such a radical action even be mentioend by the priests of Wendel?!
<GMStoren> Bothered by what she heard, Rachel made a beeline back into the shrine, only to find evrything in a state of disarray.
<Niki> «ooc: No, but it can be mentioned by the chief of Baskar Village. »
<Roric> «ooc: Belguteii: "We'll have to give up dairy for a week! But I know we can pull through if we stick together!" »
<Rachel> <<Rachel: oh no! a state of disarray!>>
<GMStoren> Gemma knights were running this way and that, apparently looking for someone or something.
<Niki> «ooc: Spam in the can. »
<Cody> «ooc: Noooo! It's all about the diary! I NEED my cottage Cheese, Roric! »
<GMStoren> « hehe. »
<Roric> «ooc: Dear Diary, I really like cottage cheese. »
<Cody> «ooc: Wait, I hate Cottage Cheese....Okay! :D We can give it up! »
* Rachel has her sword drawn and heads to Cody's room in a panic, not bothering to knock as she opens it roughly, looking inside.
<GMStoren> The door isn't locked at all.. in fact it's open wide.
<Niki> «ooc: Cody's gettin dressed! »
<Rachel> <<Screw you!>>
<Rachel> << ;) >>
<Niki> «ooc: No, you should say that to Cody. ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Cody's havin uNF with Rahne in the quiet room!~ »
<GMStoren> Rachel finds a small letter on the desk...
<Cody> «ooc: Cody blushes as Rachel opens the door...his pink tutu is just a wee bit tight... ;) »
* Rachel glances about at the state of the room before grabbing the letter and tearing it open, looking at it..
<Rachel> << Letter: I have become a transvestite and moved in with Tori. Luv, Codyrella.>>
<Niki> «ooc: >> "Dear Diary...I hate cottage cheese!" <Rachel> O_o Okkkaaayyy! »
<Cody> >> Dear Rachel...and Everyone.
<Cody> >> I am sorry...but I cannot go through with this. I wish I could be strong like Rachel says I am, but I am not. Please...forgive me and know that I wish only the best for you all. Enclosed in this letter is 500 luc, which should cover the cost for taking me to Wendel. Please use this as you see fit, Rachel, Keylia, and please do not come looking for me. I don't want you to see how weak I've become.
<Cody> >> -Cody
<Chrys> «ooc: >> I know what you did last summer, too. Signed, Cody »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! »
* Rachel blinks, rereading the letter as the sword tip comes to rest on the floor beside her feet. She leans on her hilt. "...."
<GMStoren> It's written in a simple cursive, but it seems... a bit more neat and refined than you remember Cody's handwriting normally being.
<Niki> «ooc: >> Rachel stabs her foot. »
<Chrys> «ooc: >> Rachel stabs Cody's body. "Oops! Found him! »
<Cody> «ooc: Damn you ^_- »
<Niki> «ooc: Cody was under Rachel's foot? »
<Chrys> «ooc: There's an obscene comment in that, but I'm not touching it. »
* Rachel narrows her eyes and folds the paper, tucking it in her belt a little to show the others..she then turns and heads to the bed...
<GMStoren> Rachel's foot brushes against something on the floor.
<Niki> «ooc: >> Rachel finds a piss stain on the sheets. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Uh? »
<Cody> «ooc: You guys are so mean ^^; »
* Rachel blinks and bends down to examine whatever it is..
<Cody> «ooc: Oh sure, I'm baiting you...but you're still mean! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Welll, it's IC to be mean atm ;) »
<Rhiana> «ooc: lol... »
<GMStoren> It's a golden pocketwatch... there's a crack in it's face, like it was dropped in haste.
<Chrys> «ooc: A crack in it's face? Does that make it a butthead? »
<GMStoren> There's also a book lying next to it. ^^
<Niki> «ooc: No, thats a Feringi from Star Trek. »
* Rachel picks the watch up gently and gazes at it curiously for a moment before turning her attention to the book..
<Roric> «ooc: ... »
<Rachel> <<I feel like Nancy Drew!>>
<Niki> «ooc: <Rachel> Kama Sutra..... »
<Cody> >> The book appears to be some sort of journal, at least on the outside...
* Rachel furrows her brow and tugs the book up and onto the bed, hesitantly opening it to the first page..
<Cody> >> It says...
<Cody> >> ...Remember how I told you something would happen to me today? Well, it did...I met this wonderful woman! No...no it's not like that...I'm not sure how I feel about her, but she's been very kind to me. The kindest woman I think I've ever met, even though her exterior shows that of a weather-worn warrior. There's something about her though...it's like I've met her before. She said her name is Rachel...
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<Cody> «ooc: Well, you DID say first page :p »
<Rachel> <<must...resist...urge...to...read...more...>>
<Cody> «ooc: What,y ou want his five year old journal instead? :O »
<Niki> «ooc: Go to page 10 so you can read how Cody hates you now and wants to make hawt love to Rahne. »
<Chrys> «ooc: BRB! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: <Cody> I thought about Roric naked today..I wonder...why I felt turned on »
* Rachel pauses for a moment before closing the book. She gazes at the cover blankly for a moment. ^^;
<Rachel> . o o (No, Rachel, you will not read his journal....cripes!)
<Cody> >> The handwriting is nice, simple cursive...but it's no where near the neatness of the actual letter. The ls and r's look entirely different.
<Niki> «ooc: LOL! »
<Rachel> <<Hee!>>
<Niki> «ooc: Cody speaks Engrish! »
<GMStoren> « lol. »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh shut up :D »
<Rachel> ....
<Rachel> I'm no genius...but....I'd say the note was forged.....I'd also say I'm going insane because I'm talking to myself..
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe! »
<Cody> «ooc: Go Nancy! Go Nancy! It's your birthday! »
<GMStoren> There's some yelling in the hallway "God, what jerks! Look where you're going!"
<Niki> «ooc: Sounds like me almost. ^^; »
* Rachel tugs the book into her pack, patting it gently....she stands tall again and looks to the door, narrowing her eyes.
<GMStoren> Keylia stumbles past the doorway, shaking a fist.
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rachel> <<Keylia is drunk!>>
<Niki> «ooc: Shaken not stirred? »
<Cody> «ooc: Keylia: Now you Gemma Knights get to the kitchen, and bake me a goddamned PIE! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Keyla's "little friend" must need batteries »
*** Chrys (flare_star@4.35.218.233) Quit (Ping timeout)
<GMStoren> [Keylia] What a mess...
<Niki> «ooc: Aww, Cody. You forgot to add 'HIC!' at the end of that. »
<Cody> «ooc: Okay + HIC! »
<Niki> «ooc: Woo! »
* Rachel arches an eyebrow, faintly annoyed at herself and the situation... "What mess would that be? The sudden disappearance of the Gemma?"
<GMStoren> Keylia looks into the room. "Rachel? Lemme guess.. playing Nancy Drew now?"
<Rachel> If the title fits...!
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Well, it's pretty obvious Cody ran away from those jerks. Can you blame him?
*** Chrys (flare_star@4.35.219.28) has joined #Pureland
* Rachel looks about the room again... "No....he didn't..."
*** Tori sets mode: +o Chrys
<Roric> «ooc: bad Storen! No be Ashtonm! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] What did you find?
<Rachel> <<Rachel: A condom and some cat hair. Rahne is the problem!>>
<Chrys> «ooc: What? »
<Chrys> «ooc: What'd I miss? »
<GMStoren> Rachel notices a smell eprmeating the room.. like herbs. There's a cup tipped over on the table in the corner. ^^
<Niki> «ooc: You missed Keylia walking into the room and asking what happened. »
<Chrys> «ooc: POT »
<Cody> «ooc: TLE? No wait. »
* Rachel pauses and heads to the cup, picking it up and sniffing it, speaking idly. "A note. Written by someone else."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I'll be.. you think something's rotten in Wendel?
<Rhiana> «ooc: Someone tooted :o »
<Niki> «ooc: <Keylia> Besides the bathroom I just took a dump in. »
<Rachel> I wouldn't be surprised....it's always the supposedly pure ones who you need to watch out for..
<Rhiana> «ooc: I don't think I've ever seen a woman say she's ever taken a "dump" »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. I don't think I have either. »
<GMStoren> Keylia stomps a foot. "That's what I get for taking my eyes off Cody for one minute..."
<Niki> «ooc: But we can say that Keylia is specil. »
* Rachel waggles the cup at Keylia. "C'mere. Tell me what this smells like?"
<Rahne> << My sis is fairly rough.  I'm sure she's called it a dump before. >>
<Rachel> <<Mine too. Must be a Canadian thing.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Hey! Whoo! Back! Hey! Hamlet ref! »
<GMStoren> Keylia takes a sniff...
<Niki> «ooc: Well what would women call it? "pinching a loaf"? »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] It smells pretty bad. That must have been some kinda toxic crap in there...
<GMStoren> Keylia suddenly wideyes.
<Cody> «ooc: Keylia: I want some of that Pot too! Where did COdy go!? »
<Rachel> What is it?
<GMStoren> [Keylia] And who else do we know that has a habit of making herbal curses...? :P
<Niki> «ooc: Skeletor! »
<Rachel> <<Uhhhh... ;) Julian? :o>>
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel: Your mom! Keylia; Uh...try again Rachel. Rachel: Your dad...? Keylia: *facepalm* »
<Rhiana> «ooc: It's Old Man Winters, who ran the Haunted Amusment Park »
<Chrys> «ooc: lol »
* Rachel sweatdrops. "Aside from me when I try to cook...I'd say....Julian?"
<Roric> «ooc: Uh, who else DO we know who has a habit of making herbal curses? »
<Niki> «ooc: No it isn't. Its the Bank President, Mr. Walters! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Khyros! he's the one who poisoned the whole town of Kippo after all! He's got to be in on this.
<Chrys> «ooc: And he would've done it if it weren't for you kids and your stupid fox. <Rahne> I AM NOT AN AN-I-MAL! :O »
<Rachel> <<Or not ;) DELETE THAT AUGH DEATH BLONDE>>
<Roric> «ooc: And it's Julius. Like the drink shop. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Rhiaia woulda known that, for the record ;) »
<Rachel> <<Fuck off ;) Rachel smelled the cup too closely.>>
<Roric> «ooc: I have returned from the dark world and am now ORANGE Julius! »
<Roric> «ooc: Hehe. »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Maybe Julius had a mole here after all.. damnit all.. we need the gang.
<Chrys> «ooc: lol »
<Rachel> .....hm.
* Rachel drops the cup on the bed and pauses, hands on her hips..
<Rhiana> «ooc: Oh I see. Now we're all "the gang". It's Rachel, Cody, Keyla and "The Gang" »
<Cody> «ooc: The Scooby Gang! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Ruh roh »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Rood one Raggy! »
<Niki> «ooc: Jinkies! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Take the evidence there, and lets get out of here before they start to realize we shouldn't be here.. ^^
<Rhiana> «ooc: Niki said Jinkies, it must be a clue! »
<GMStoren> rachel sees some ashes in the fireplace, which has gone out.
<Niki> «ooc: lol »
<Rachel> <<DEATH>>
<Cody> «ooc: KILL PIG? »
* Rachel heads to the fireplace and kneels, nudging the ashes...
<Niki> «ooc: Luca Blight? »
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rachel> Cody? Izzat you? »
<GMStoren> There's something shiny in them... it looks like the burnt remains of some kind of jewlery, like a band. Part of the blackened surface looks like a bird's wing.
<Rachel> .....
<Niki> «ooc: Rachel found a quarter. »
<Cody> «ooc: I wish I had a quater :o »
<Niki> «ooc: You could, but you had to fake your death. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Hmmm... »
* Rachel tugs the remains free and gazes at them for a moment before shoving it into her pouch. "Right. Let's get the group."
<Cody> «ooc: :o »
<Rachel> I've got an idea about what happened.
<Roric> «ooc: Cody burnt to death? O_o »
<Niki> «ooc: Sweet. »
<GMStoren> Keylia gathers the items, and tugs Rachel out as a troop of guards patrolls the halls, barely mssing you both. :)
<Cody> «ooc: that'd make Roric's day ;) »
<Rachel> <<TUG ME INTO A CLOSET SO WE CAN BRUSH LIPS FROM CLOSENESS AND OH GOD :P~~~>>
<Rachel> <<BRB in five ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: HELLO!? »
<Niki> «ooc: <Rachel> <<I'm going to go do that for real.>> »
<Rachel> <<rotfl>>
<GMStoren> You think you see a statue in the foyer crying red tears as you run out to town.. but maybe it's your imagination.
<GMStoren> « Ok, where is everyone? :D »
<Rachel> <<in my pants. ^_^>>
<Niki> «ooc: In her pants....no wait. »
<Rahne> << Where do you need me? >>
<Rhiana> «ooc: In her pants »
<Niki> «ooc: Rachel has another dimension in her pants! Just like Ryo has in his back pocket in Shenmue! »
<Roric> «ooc: Bar nearby. »
<Rachel> <<I'm with Keylia, having hawt hawt sekz... oh, and saving Cody! :o>>
<Roric> «ooc: Still incognito. »
<Niki> «ooc: I'm walking around town doing nothing. »
<GMStoren> You enarly run over Rahne, pacing outside. She's staring at a Mana Goddess statue, that looks like it's crying blood.
<Rahne> ...
<Rachel> <<Rahne: Woaaah...that was some good shit...heheh...>>
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rahne> What does this mean...? o_o <Rachel> It means Cody has PMS! Come on! »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL... ^^ »
<Rachel> Rahne!
<Rahne> Something bad's happened, hasn't it Rachel?
<Niki> «ooc: <Rachel> JOIN OUR ORGY! »
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel: We must hurry Rahne! To the batcave! »
* Rahne turns around, looking very somber.. *
<GMStoren> Rahne notices in Keylia's hands is her pocketwatch she gave Cody, the face scratched up!
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel broke it! Kill her! »
* Rahne reaches out to take up the watch, looking down at it's broken face sorrowfully.. *
<Niki> «ooc: Let Rahne get pissed off and accuse Keylia of killing Cody. Then she can attack Keylia in a burning rage and Keylia can kill her. »
<Rachel> I...we need to get the group together....something has happened to Cody...
<GMStoren> [Keylia] We think it's foul play... you cna either sit and stare or save the poor kid. ;)
* Rahne 's forehead creases with worry. * What happened to him?
*** Roric (foon@ip142166204215.nbtel.net) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
<Chrys> «ooc: <Rachel> WE DON'T KNOW! THAT'S THE PROBLEM! »
<Rachel> I have a theory. First let's get everyone together..
<Cody> «ooc: C'mon Rahne! If you come with me, I'll give you a scooby snack! »
*** Gayo (foon@ip142166204215.nbtel.net) has joined #pureland
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Gayo
<Rachel> Keylia? Was Roric in the tavern...?
<Gayo> «ooc: Whoops. »
<GMStoren> « wb.. »
<Niki> «ooc: <Rachel> It was Red Herring! He killed Cody! »
<Cody> «ooc: Commuinism is just a red herring... :) »
<Cody> «ooc: </clue> »
<Rachel> <<Rachel: Did you fuck him? ;_; Why not fuck ME? C'mon! I can touch my tongue to my forehead!>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Not A red herring »
<Chrys> «ooc: THE red herring »
<Niki> «ooc: Naw, not the movie Clue. Although that movie kicks ass. »
<Cody> «ooc: :O »
*** Gayo is now known as Roric
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Yeah.. probably too smashed to give a damn though...
<Niki> «ooc: None of you watch that crappy show "A Pup called Scooby Doo"...well cept Nygs. Cuz of that jinkies comment. ;) »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Let's go sober him up.. *cracks knuckles*
<Rhiana> «ooc: Yes, I know who Red Herring is ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: I watched it. I've blocked it out of my mind. »
<Rachel> O_o Beating him to a pulp won't help us much. ^^; Rahne..? Coming?
<Cody> «ooc: Oh yeah! He's the kid with teh frizzy red hair ^^ »
<GMStoren> « Oh that guy. :o »
* Rahne nods. *
* Rachel heads for the tavern!
<Niki> «ooc: YEAH! And every damn episode Fredy blames him. »
<Niki> «ooc: Freddy even. »
<Cody> «ooc: Freddy is so gay ^-^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: *GOES INSANE* »
* Rahne follows. *
* Roric sits at the bar, hands around a tankard, his face still covered by his makeshift cowl.
<GMStoren> You all head to the tavern, a relatively neat and classy place as far as taverns go. It's pretty full at this time of night, with heresay about the decision flying.
<Niki> «ooc: <GMStoren> Its a classy bar. Then you notice Roric and think otherwise. »
<GMStoren> « I almost wrote that :) »
<Niki> «ooc: heh. »
* Rahne curls her tail around and holds it close as she enters the establishment.. *
* Rachel mutters loud enough for Keylia and Rahne to hear... "Wow. No one has pinched any butts yet...nice digs."
<Roric> «ooc: >> Keylia pinches Rachel's butt. »
<GMStoren> Keylia stomps over to Roric and yanks his head back.
<Cody> «ooc: I see Rahne has dipped too far into the 'holy reserves' »
<Chrys> «ooc: Roric has wandered into a gay bar! »
* Rahne winces. * ^^;
* Rachel sweatdrops at Keylia's aggressiveness.
<Rhiana> «ooc: The name of this joint is the Blue Oyster Bar »
<Roric> Gack! Gack! Hey! *slips the chair out from under him and falls to the floor, rolling sideways*
<Roric> Wot th'bloody 'ell d'ya think you're doin', ya bastard?
<Chrys> «ooc: RORIC LOST HIS ACCENT AUGH NO...oh, wait. He got it back. »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I could ask you the same thing, you drunk abstard. :P
<GMStoren> « er abstard »
<GMStoren> « gah ^^ »
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
<Cody> «ooc: bastard. :) We know, Stor. »
<Cody> «ooc: BRB »
<Roric> Oh. Keylia. 'Ey. Ain't drunk yet, and I ain't gonna get there if ya keep knockin' me 'round.
* Roric stands and brushes himself off.
<Rahne> I'm terribly, terribly sorry Lord Roric..  but I think we may need your assistance. 
<GMStoren> [Keylia] You're going to sit here and wallow in the ale while stuff's hittin' the fan?
* Roric gives Rahmne a funny look. "No prob, yer esteemed and wonderful royal poppiness."
<Rachel> <<rotfl>>
<GMStoren> « lol ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: That's POPPINESS, btw. »
<Rachel> Cut it, Ror....we know about your past...and we need your help...
<Chrys> «ooc: Yeah. As in Mary Poppins, not as in Ellena's L4 force ;) »
* Roric scratches the back of his neck. "Sounds 'bout right. Care t'join me?"
* Rahne frowns, if at all possible managing to look even more depressed than she did before. *
<Roric> I...
* Roric gives Rachel a glare from the shadows of his hood.
<Chrys> «ooc: HE'S CLIVE »
<Roric> Past ain't important. That's all over'n done wit'.
<Niki> «ooc: He's Joseph! »
<Roric> «ooc: ...Clive? »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Clive Anderson? »
<Niki> «ooc: Roric...play Suikoden. ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Suikoden. Character that Joseph's pic is ripped off from »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] That what do you think about finding out the dirt on what's going on?
<Roric> «ooc: I rented it once, watched the intro, and returned it. »
<Niki> «ooc: Well play Suikoden 2 then. Its better. »
<Roric> All I 'ear is 'ere's some sorta ritual gonna 'appen. Screw that, says I.
* Rachel idly nudges Rahne with her foot.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] It isn't the ritual you think it is. The Empire's at work here.
* Rahne is nudged, though she's not sure why. * ^^;
<Roric> 'Ere? *he frowns* ...all th'more reason t'stay outta it.
<Niki> «ooc: *waits for the time where Keylia says that they kidnapped Cody and Roric gets all happy.* »
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah, I'm waiting too ^_^ »
<Rachel> They got Cody, Ror..
<Roric> "Got"? 'E bit it?
<Rachel> No, no...they took him..
* Rahne bites her hand. *
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<Rhiana> «ooc: Rahne draws blood »
<Rachel> <<Rahne: %P~~~ Mmmm flesh>>
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne: Ow! Bit too hard...bleeding...out.... »
<Niki> «ooc: <Rahne> Nummy! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I know you don't give a damn about these Wendel freaks, and neither do I... but Cody's not gonna be nabbed by Khyros of all people or we're all screwed.
<Roric> ......*he sighs, thinking*
<Roric> Ain't none o' my concern. Tried to talk you blokes outta this nutty stuff.
<Rachel> ...what if we paid you, then?
<GMStoren> Keylia turns her head. "God, you make me SICK!"
<GMStoren> Keylai elaves the place.
<Rachel> Key-..!
<GMStoren> « er Keylia »
<Rahne> Though I hadn't seen it..  and I feel really bad about what I did..  the blood of heroes flows through your veins, Lord Roric...
<Rachel> Gah.
<Niki> «ooc: <Rachel> Come on Roric. Will you do it for a scooby snack? »
* Roric turns and heads for the door. "...ya can't pay me enough ta put my life on th'line, chicky. I'm goin'. Don't follow me. And don't ever call me Lord."
* Roric stomps out.
<Rachel> ...
<Rachel> Everyone has gone insane.
<Rachel> I swear to god.
<Rachel> It must be the water.
<Chrys> «ooc: That's what it was in Kippo! Remember? »
* Rachel looks faintly stressed and looks at Rahne for a moment. "C'mon. Might as well go see if anyone else is gonna be all self centered and focus on their own little hang ups before helping a FRIEND."
* Rachel grumbles and heads outside. ^^;
* Rahne chases after Roric! * Dammit! How can you just leave like this?
<Rachel> <<DEATH>>
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne swore? Wow. :o »
<Rachel> <<I'm going to kill you all ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: DEATH KILL LAG »
<GMStoren> Rahne loses Roric..
<Roric> «ooc: hah hah, fuck Cody. »
* Rachel notices Rahne has fled after Roric and looks annoyed. ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Roric: ^^ Yeah, well...heh. »
* Rachel looks around for Keylia..
<GMStoren> Keylia vents near a shop window, muttering.
<Cody> «ooc: Keylia: Kill death pig kill death pig kill death pig... »
<GMStoren> NIki is ironically gawking in a nearby window.
* Rachel sighs and heads over to Key.. "Hey....girl...c'mon..."
* Niki doesn't notice Keylia as her face is up against the window.
* Rahne looks miserably down an empty alleyway.. *
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I can't believe that selfish jerk...
<Rachel> It's alright. Just let him be. We have to focus now..
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Yeah.. yeah. Sorry... *looks down*
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Niki?
<Niki> Huh...wha?
* Rachel touches Key's shoulder. "Hey...it's alright...you-....Niki? Oh hey..!"
* Niki looks up.
* Rahne returns to where the other two are, her ears folded back and looking some upset.. *
[Roric:#pureland PING]
* Rachel looks at Rahne and sighs softly... "Rahne....don't let it get to you. We have to put it together to save Cody."
<Niki> Whats up?  You looked pissed.
<Rachel> Someone swiped Cody. ^^; You up for some adventuring that'll probably lead us into a fight?
<Rhiana> «ooc: How cute, we've taught little Niki how to cuss like a sailor »
* Rahne 's ears relax, slipping more into a drooped state. * How can he be so cold..? So uncaring..
<Roric> «ooc: Tell her it was the shadow guy!~ »
<Niki> «ooc: She's forgotten about him. ^^; »
* Niki looks at Rachel. "Who?"
<Rachel> <<O_o who?>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Cody... short kid.. girls drooling over him.. travelled with him a week? ;)
<Niki> «ooc: Niki doesn't know anyone's names. Cept for Keylia. She never asked for them. ;) »
* Rachel sweatdrops and can't help but chuckle. "Oy."
* Niki thinks... "OH! You mean the girly guy!"
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe »
* Rachel turns to Rahne and prods her gently in the shoulder. "Hey. Ignore him. Alright? It's not important right now. Right now what's important is rescuing Cody."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] *snickers* Yeah him. He's in trouble. Wanna bust heads?
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Maybe the Shadow Zero is in on it!
<Niki> Hmm...okay, but you have to buy me that.
* Rahne smiles at Rachel, albiet rather weakly, but she tries to put on a brave face.. *
<GMStoren> Keylia looks to see what she's so hung up on.
* Niki points to the shop window...more specifically a little plastic beaded necklace. Green colored. ;)
<Chrys> «ooc: A pikachu vibrator! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Oh »
* Rachel winks at Rahne reassuringly and then looks to Keylia and Niki..
<Cody> «ooc: Peeekaaaachuuuuuuu *buzz!* »
<Rhiana> «ooc: lol..that's so disturbiing »
<Rachel> <<ahghghg brb, bladder too small for coke, wha>>
* Rahne 's tail swishes a small bit.. *
<Roric> «ooc: Nah, Diglet is the dildo pokemon. »
<Chrys> «ooc: aghaghagh brb. Heather too blonde for newfieland, wha »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Ok, ok...
<Niki> Really? Cool! ^_^
<GMStoren> Keylia enters the store and promptly comes back with said necklace, in a small cute giftbox.
<Roric> «ooc: Damn! You should have asked for an expensive item! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Don't love me just for my pocketbook, though.. ;)
<GMStoren> Keylia gives it to Niki.
<Niki> «ooc: LOL. Niki is hung up on the color green though. »
* Niki opens the box, and pulls out the necklace. She drops the box on the ground and puts the necklace on. "Yeah, this is cool!"
* Rachel smiles a little at the interaction before turning and looking around for any other group members..
<Roric> «ooc: Darn. If Roric were here he'd say "It isn't your pocketbook I wanna get into." But he's not. Shoot. »
<GMStoren> « bwhaha »
<Cody> «ooc: Poopy Roric ;) »
<Rachel> Where the hell could everyone else be...
<Niki> Okay.  Where are we going?
<GMStoren> rachel sees the familiar figure of Rhiana under a single lamp in the appraoching night.
<Roric> «ooc: Rhi is a dealer. »
<Rachel> ...Rhiana!
<Rachel> <<Prodigy - Breathe ^^; Yay for old cds.>>
* Rhiana has her arms crossed, looking over at Rachel as she's called, "Oh...it's you."
<Niki> «ooc: <Rachel> I'll take a dime bag. * Rhiana nods. »
<Rachel> Erm, yeah...it's...me. ^^; We've got trouble. Cody got swiped.
* Rhiana nods, "By Khyros, I know."
<Rahne> H-how did you know that, L-- er..  Rhiana?
* Rhiana grumbles, "I thought the Empire was after Rachel..I was wrong."
<Roric> «ooc: Damn Rahne, now she's gonna do the title thing with me too. »
<Roric> «ooc: ^_~] »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Well that sure saves a lot of trouble.
<Rahne> << Hehe. ^^; >>
<Rhiana> I would have done something, but by the time I put 2 and 2 together, it was too late.
* Rachel blinks at Key's odd aggressiveness today and decides to ask later...she eyes Rhiana. "Help us save him, Rhi."
<Roric> «ooc: Hey, yeah, how come I'm the only one Keylia beat up? »
<Cody> «ooc: Because you're RORIC. »
<Rhiana> ...sure, I owe it to him....I feel bad about my mistake.
<Rachel> <<Cause she loves you :D>>
<GMStoren> « Cause she likes you. »
* Rachel nods. "Seen any of the others?"
<Rachel> <<She doesn't beat on me anymore :o Damn her. Damn you, Roric, you've stolen my place ;)>>
<Rhiana> No, I'm afraid not.  I don't seem to be very popular..but I saw Tori walking off towards the shrine.
<Chrys> «ooc: Because he has a pokie and you don't »
* Rachel nods and heads for the shrine.. ^^;
<Rachel> <<This is fun! Like connect the dots!>>
<Cody> «ooc: Tra lalalala! »
* Rhiana follows, cursing herself for being wrong
<Cody> «ooc: Today's secret word is...Gemma! So whenever you hear that word, ...scream real loud! Okay! Let's try it! ^_- »
<GMStoren> The party walks along the street back towards the smaller of the two main shrines. You find Tori sleeping near the doorway in a dark corner...
* Tori has his cap pulled over his face and is snoring lightly.
<Chrys> «ooc: AUGH CODY PEEWEE'S PLAYHOUSE IS A FUCKING CRACK INDUCED SHOW »
<Cody> «ooc: That's why I like it :D »
* Rachel blinks and kneels beside Tori, poking him in the shoulder. "Hey...hey! Wakey wakey, oh silent and morbid!"
* Rahne pokes him. * Mister Tori?
<Rachel> <<Tori dies from massive poking.>>
* Tori stirs and slowly lifts his cap, eyeing rachel and the others.
<Tori> *Sleepily* what?
<Rachel> We've got trouble. Someone has kidnapped the Gemma..
<Niki> «ooc: *waits for Cody's screaming to ensue.* »
<Cody> «ooc: THE SECRET WORD! AAAHH! »
<Tori> Are you sure he didn't leave on his own?
<GMStoren> Keylia eyes a blooding statue a little cuatiously. "Hmm.. and what was your first guess?" ^^
<Rachel> I'm really really sure. ^^;
<GMStoren> « er bleeding »
* Tori stands up and stretches.
* Rachel glances behind her at Keylia. "Maybe the gods are having their monthlies?"
<Tori> Then I guess we should go find him, huh?
* Tori yawns.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I REALLY doubt that.
* Rachel looks back at Tori and nods. ^^
<Rhiana> ...we should.
* Rhiana sighs, "This woulda been alot easier had I guessed right."
<GMStoren> Tori notices some movements in the shadows.
* Tori turns and watches.
<Tori> Who's there?
<Rhiana> ..who's where?
* Rachel blinks and turns, looking towards the shadows too..
<Niki> «ooc: Bond...James Bond. »
* Tori nods towards the shadows.
<Roric> «ooc: I cast...Magic Missile! »
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Niki> «ooc: lol »
* Rhiana whips out her..well.. her whip
<Rahne> << Summoner reference? ^^; >>
* Tori stands alert, but not going for Seraph's yet.
<Chrys> «ooc: Rahne, Summoner referenced something ELSE with that. It was originally a Dr. Demento skit »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] ... come on out already, you fucking brigand. :P
<Roric> «ooc: HOT FUCKING BRIGAND ACTION CLICK HERE »
* Rachel sweatdrops.
* Rhiana snaps her whip into the shadows, "Dance for me!"
<Rachel> Rhiana!
<Rachel> Don't flog the poor guy ^^;
* Chrys dodges the whip deftly, revealing himself. ^^;
* Rhiana grumbles, "Why..he deserves it."
<Chrys> ...So? What the fuck do you idiots want with me?
<Cody> «ooc: Whip it good! »
<Rachel> Pfft. Save the baggage for later. We've got a Gemma to save!
<Cody> «ooc: *screams* »
<Rachel> We want you to help us.
<Niki> «ooc: *wraps duct tape around Cody's mouth.* »
<Cody> «ooc: ;-: »
<Chrys> Pfft. What's the use? We rescue him, and they kidnap him again. It's a fucking downward spiral until they either get what they want or he goes and hides in somebody's fucking head.
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh. Hiding in someone's head *Imagines it and giggles* »
* Rachel gets closer to Chrys. "Okay. I know you're not Chrys because you're way too cheery. Please....just...help us. I'll even frickin pay you."
<Chrys> I don't want money. I don't even want to be near you stresscases. The only reason I was shadowing you was to make sure you didn't fucking blow up the town.
* Chrys clenches his fist a bit.
<Rachel> Bullshit. 
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Chrys... the whole palce is going to be blown up if we don't rescue his butt pronto.
<Chrys> What was that? I don't think I heard you right, girl.
<Niki> «ooc: Does that mean we can leave the rest of him to Khyros? »
* Chrys glares at Rachel
<Rhiana> Oh to heck with it, we're wasting time here.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] And what makes you think stealing... THAT... is going to help save you?
<GMStoren> Keylia looks at one of his clenched fists.
* Chrys glares at Keylia. "Easy. I do things my way, you do them yours. How do you know I wasn't trying to save the kid?
<GMStoren> [Keylia] How do I know you didn't sell him out Hawk?
* Rachel crosses her arms but keeps her gaze on Chrys.
<GMStoren> Keylia gets into an aggresive posture.
<Rhiana> Because he's not smart enough.
<Niki> «ooc: *pulls out a Snickers bar.* Not going anywhere for a while... »
<Chrys> Easy. I wouldn't sell anyone out for anything short of the Mana Sword. It's foolish and fucking idiotic.
* Chrys dangles the pendant. "From the looks of things, they want this as much as they want him, anyways. It looks like he's a loose cannon without it, from what I can tell."
* Chrys shrugs. "Could be wrong though. Willing to gamble on that?"
[Chrys:#Pureland PING]
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Oh, like THAT makes me feel better.
<Rachel> <<Confused now :o>>
<Cody> «ooc: *Blinks* How'd he get the pendant? O_o »
<Chrys> I'll go with you on one condition.
<Chrys> «ooc: The GM gave it to me. »
<Rachel> What is it?
<Cody> «ooc: Happy GM powa :D »
<Roric> «ooc: Buy me that pretty necklace! »
<Niki> «ooc: Yeah! »
* Chrys grins. "I'll let you know the condition after this job's done."
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<Rachel> <<Scared now.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys; Hawt sex. »
<Niki> «ooc: He wants hawt sec. »
<Rachel> .....alright.
* Rahne frowns.. * :/
* Chrys drops the pendant into Keylia's hands. "I'm with you. Just don't screw up."
<Rhiana> ...it's so obvious what he's going to want
<Niki> «ooc: You know he's gonna ask for the mana sword. »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] You haven't changed at all... still a gambler.
<Rachel> Rhi...please...just...not now, alright? ^^;
<Chrys> .oO(This may be my chance...)
<Rachel> <<...to score!>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Luckily, I always play to win...
<Rhiana> Fine..I just don't think he's worth it...we're wasting time making deals with thieves when we should be looking for Cody
<Rachel> Augh. ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Hurry up and get to teh juciy stuff, you wombats :D »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] That's everyone... we really going to take Meira too?
<Cody> «ooc: you've been gathering people for 2 hours almsot ;) »
<Rachel> <<Fuxor you! I'd like to see you do it faster!!>>
<Cody> «ooc: O:) Looks cute. »
<Cody> «ooc: Well I would but my character is the one you're supposed to save! »
<Rachel> ....nah.
<Rachel> <<yeah right! I'm their frickin leader! ;) And they're ready to kill each other! :o>>
<GMStoren> « doing great Rachel :) »
<Rachel> <<Hmph ;) Shuddap and gimme head, bioch!>>
<Cody> «ooc: *Gives you...a walrus! »
* Rachel looks up at the bleeding statues..
<Chrys> «ooc: *Gives the walrus head* »
<Rahne> I can't believe they're all doing that..  I've never seen anything like it...
<Tori> Signs and portents?
<GMStoren> Keylia starts heading for the shrine complex...
<Chrys> Mana works in strange ways. Don't bother thinking about it.
* Chrys follows after Keylia.
<Roric> >> "Halt, strangers!"
<Rachel> ?
<Roric> >> A mysterious caped man vaults to the ground from a rooftop. He wears a black, full-face mask open only at the top to allow room for his wild hair. He brushes his swirling cape aside with a broad sweep of his gauntleted hand, revealing a lightning bolt pattern across his chest. "I hear you need some help."
<Rachel> <<O_O>>
<Niki> «ooc: Roric is MYSTERE! »
<Rachel> <<SDjgj TUXEDO MASK, YOU CAME!>>
<GMStoren> K/key ....
<GMStoren> [Keylia] ....
<Rahne> ..who's offering...?
* Rachel opens her mouth.
* Rachel closes it.
* Rachel starts to snicker. ^^;
<Roric> I am the Hazard Knight. You may call me...Mystere! I travel the world righting wrongs, and this travesty of justice makes my blood boil!
*** Roric is now known as Mystere
<Cody> «ooc: OH GOD! LOL!! »
<Chrys> ....Oh, PLEASE. -_-;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Ok, either you're really blasted, I'm really blasted....
<Rhiana> ....you've got to be kidding...
<Niki> «ooc: I TOLD YOU! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Gayo is doing the same thing I did, I can sue him :o »
<Rachel> .....today is just really fucked up.
<Mystere> I'm afraid I do not understand you, madam. But let's hurry. Time is of the essence!
* Rahne looks skeptical. * Mystere? You're not.. infringing on anyone's copyrights or anything, are you?
<Mystere> «ooc: We both ripped it off of EB, so hush. ^_~ »
<GMStoren> « lol rahne ^^ »
* Rachel buries a face in her hand and sighs. ^^
<Rhiana> «ooc: I did it in the same game though ;) »
<Chrys> ...Uhhhhh...huh.
<Mystere> «ooc: Also, my disguise is at least vaguely disguisey. »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Ok.. Mystere... let's fight for Justice! ^^;
<Rhiana> ...this guy is embarrasing.
<Mystere> Onward!
* Chrys looks at Rachel. "Your group, not mine."
<Rachel> If I was getting paid, this would be a little more.....bearable...
<Rahne> This all sounds like it's out of a comic book.. ^^;
<Niki> «ooc: Does Mystere smell like Roric? ;) »
* Rachel rolls her eyes at Chrys and grins a little as she ahems. "Yes. Onwards."
<GMStoren> The group contineus to the shrine... and what a group indeed. :o
<GMStoren> « hush for a sec.. »
<Mystere> «ooc: If you smell that well. He's actually been relatively clean since he joined you. ^_~ »
<GMStoren> Meanwhile, Meira is catnapping on a rooftop, one eye open.
<Mystere> «ooc: Whee, that was fun. »
<Cody> «ooc: Can imagine Mystre/Roric saying, "Sample my goods!" »
<Cody> «ooc: BTW< I just realized I left EBC at home. I'm pissed. :P »
<Niki> «ooc: No! "Taste my refreshment!" »
<Cody> «ooc: Discipline feels good! Haha! »
<GMStoren> [Meira] Are those people really stupid enough to challenge Khyros? Oh well... not like I mind if they kill him...
<GMStoren> Meira yawns and goes back to sleep.

<Rhiana> «ooc: That's been Meria's biggest part in the game thus far »
<GMStoren> « That's.. sad. :( »
<GMStoren> You enter the shrine, largely uncontested. There's a foreboding air about the place.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Yes, but alas it's also true »
<Mystere> Be on guard...
<GMStoren> Cody's room is as Rachel left it...

-> [Cody] PING
<GMStoren> The hall continues to the left and right, and there are marbled stairs to the upper and lower floors not far away.
* Rahne listens intently.. *
<Cody> «ooc: Can someone ping me? »
<GMStoren> You hear a shout from downstairs, and the slash of weapons.
<Niki> «ooc: Okay. »
<GMStoren> « er clash »
<Rhiana> ..unfortunately, I have no idea where Khyros took Cody...I'm afraid Khyros was always very..secretive...
<Niki> «ooc: [Cody PING reply]: 0secs »
<Rahne> << 1 sec, Luks.. >>
<GMStoren> Then an eerie moan. o_O
<Cody> «ooc: Kay. :) Is normal now. »
<Cody> «ooc: LAGOON! O_o Oh Roric, you're my BITCH! »
* Rahne heads off towards the sounds.. * This way!
<Chrys> ...Gee. Could he have taken him...downstairs?
<Niki> «ooc: ... »
* Chrys follows after Rahne.
* Mystere follows, his jet-black cape swirling dramatically behind him.
<Rhiana> ...I doubt it.
* Rhiana follows
* Rachel sweatdrops and follows them all.. ^^;
<GMStoren> You find a brown ahired, young gemma knight, holding his side, at the top of the stairs leading down.
* Niki also follows, not really paying attention.
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] Ugh.. monsters? Here?
<Rahne> A-are you okay?
<Niki> «ooc: Woo, lucky I put that duct tape over Cody's mouth. ;) »
<Chrys> ...
<Cody> «ooc: Pulls the duck tape off, screams cuz of that. Then screams for the word :D »
* Rahne readies her spear.. *
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] I was checking the storerroms, and suddenly undead spirits started appaering everywhere! What's going on?
<Niki> «ooc: *wraps the entire roll of duct tape around Cody's mouth this time.* »
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ »
<Chrys> ...Gee. Think this has something to do with what's going on?
<Rachel> Chaos. Are you okay? Can you make it back?
<Mystere> Something vile's happening here. Leave it to us.
* Rahne peers down the stairs.. *
<Rahne> Oh Cody..  :/
<Chrys> 9_9 Undead spirits, gods almighty...what the fuck is up with you people attracting fights?
* Mystere pulls out a boomerang.
<GMStoren> He slumps against a wall, wincing. "I'll be ok. It's nto safe down there..."
<Mystere> Nothing shall stop me from my intent.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Like I play where it's safe?
* Rachel nods. "We'll handle it. Take care of your injuries."
* Mystere strides forward defiantly.
* Niki looks at Mystere. .oO( ....whats next. "I'm Batman." )
* Chrys sighs and follows along.
<Rachel> ....oh jeez.
<Mystere> «ooc: Too many fourth wall breaches. Bad. »
* Rachel follows after Mystere.
<Chrys> «ooc: And you know what? I'M NOT DOING THEM THIS TIME! WHOO »
<Mystere> «ooc: Yeah! You rule! »
<Cody> «ooc: *Patpats Chrys. ^^ »
<GMStoren> [Gemma Knight] W..wait... oh forget it. Janice has to be told.. she cold be in danger...
<GMStoren> « er could »
<Cody> «ooc: pulls off all teh duck tape and screams :D »
<Niki> «ooc: I hardly ever fourth wall breach. I deserve a chance. »
<GMStoren> You rush downstairs. :)
<Cody> «ooc: man, my hands are tired from all the pulling. And I have no hair on my face anymore! »
<Niki> «ooc: .....*shoots Cody* »
* Mystere rushes downstairs! Rush, I say!
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 16: Sacrifice, Part 1 | Loc: Order of Light Shrine, B1 | Time: Dryad's Day, Evening | 1184 Luc -=-'
<Rachel> <<You had hair to begin with? ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Peach fuzz? »
<GMStoren> You step down the stairs, ending up in what appears to be an older wine cellar. There's also crates in stacks nearby. One fo them is shattered to splinters.
<Niki> «ooc: Can Mystere resist the wine? ;) »
<Rahne> Hmm...
<Chrys> ...
* Chrys dot dot dots.
* Tori pulls Seraph's from its holster and cautiously takes a look around.
<GMStoren> There's a spot where one crate stack has toppled over, splilling some herbs onto the floor.
* Rachel glances about warily....
* Chrys quietly pulls out his knives and inspects the herbs.
<Rhiana> It appears Khyros doesn't want us following him.
<GMStoren> The exposed wall looks suspicious.
<Rachel> Either that or he likes to be stoned when he kidnaps Gemma.
* Rahne knocks on the suspicious wall.. *
<Cody> «ooc: *screams* »
<GMStoren> The herbs are just healign salves.. nothing extraordinary.
<Niki> «ooc: Hey! I shot you! »
* Chrys chuckles darkly and looks at the wall.
<Cody> «ooc: I'm undead now! It's night! »
<Cody> «ooc: rawr »
<Niki> «ooc: Oh, okay. Then its okay. »
<GMStoren> Nothing happens when you knock, but it sounds somewhat strange.
<Rachel> Fake wall?
* Chrys turns to look back at Niki. "Still have those pumpkin things?
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 16: Sacrifice, Part 1 | Loc: Order of Light Shrine, B1 | Time: Dryad's Day, Night | 1184 Luc -=-'
<Niki> Huh.
<Niki> You bet!
<Chrys> Can I borrow one?
* Niki digs in her satchel and pulls out one.
<Mystere> «ooc: Hehe. Tori didn't react at all to my big intro. ^_^ »
<Niki> No, I get to use it. ^_^
<Chrys> Okay, but could ya use it on the wall? ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Worth a shot..
<Tori> <<Don't worry. Cape envy is coming ;)>>
* Rahne hmms again, and looks for a latch or trigger.. *
<Niki> Okay, but if nothing happens then you have to buy me another one.
* Rachel grabs Rahne's hand and tugs her away. ^^;
* Chrys nods.
<Rahne> Yii..! O_o
<Chrys> Step back, guys.
* Niki doesn't wait for anyone to move and just throws the pumpkin bomb at the wall.
* Chrys steps back
<Rachel> Careful. ^^; Cody would beat me viciously if you got hurt.
<GMStoren> Niki uses the Pumpkin Bomb!
<GMStoren> *BOOM*
<Cody> «ooc: X_x Ow. It hit me. »
<Mystere> No one is getting hurt today except the poltroons who perpetrated this heinous crime.
* Rahne rubs her ears.. * Oww...
<Chrys> Oh, get off it, Captain Pandora.
<GMStoren> The aforementioned wall crumbles to dust.
<GMStoren> (Yay for cheap prop walls)
* Rachel releases Rahne's hand.
<Cody> «ooc: Inside they found....a shrubbery! This is the way! »
* Tori coughs a bit as some of the dust gets caught in his throat.
<Rahne> Poltroons?  ^^;  I think I might have to look that one up. ^^;
<Rhiana> «ooc: No no cody, we didn't open it with faith first :o »
* Mystere glances sideways at Chrys. "Perhaps you would be more comfortable elsewhere. This is not a place for your kind.
* Mystere strides through the "entrance".
<Cody> «ooc: ;_; I suck...I have no faith. This was the item that did not appear... »
<Rachel> Oh jeez. ^^; 
<Niki> Woo!  That was cool.  Can I do it again? :D
* Chrys rolls his eyes. "Remind me why I decided to tag along for this again?"
<GMStoren> Mystere walks through the jagged opening... and into a dark and dank secret passage.
<Tori> Bribery, i believe was the reason.
<Niki> «ooc: Because you agreed before Mystere joined. ;) »
<Rhiana> Because you want in Rachel's pants
* Rachel follows Mystere. "Hey, masked man, wanna slow it down a bit? We mere mortals need time to adjust our walking!"
* Chrys follows, looking at Rhiana oddly. "What? ...why?"
* Rhiana grins mischeviously, "Oh did I say that out loud?"
* Mystere casts his eyes about warily. "Allow me to take the lead, then! No beast has the power to shatter my resolve."
<Chrys> .oO(Clearly not for her looks... This who Souryuu keeps swooning over?)
* Rahne creeps along, stealthily as always.. *
* Chrys pshes
<GMStoren> This hallway looks rather unused.. in fact there are cobwebs everywhere. It's like ti hasn't been used in centuries.
<Rachel> ....hey now! I'm the heroine, here! Take a number! ^^;
<GMStoren> Though the few mana statues all exhibit the same behavior, even here.
* Mystere swipes away the spiderwebs in front of him with his boomerang as he walks, keeping an eye out for movement ahead.
<GMStoren> You hear another moan... :o
<GMStoren> Louder.
<Mystere> «ooc: Next we'll see the face of the Mana Goddess in a burrito! »
* Rachel narrows her eyes..
* Mystere takes a defensive stance. "Identify yourself!"
<GMStoren> A hunched over figure slides out of the shadows at Mystere's challenge.
<Rhiana> ...he really needs acting lessons.
<GMStoren> [Zombie] Errrrrgghhhuuuuuhhhh..
<Cody> «ooc: Zombie: Pink...Eye.... »
<GMStoren> >> Zombie appears!
<Rhiana> «ooc: Now everyone should listen to Resident Jigelo :o »
* Niki looks up and sees the zombie. "Woo! Fight time!"
<Mystere> ...it's worse than I expected. Come, then. I'll sear the flesh from your black bones with the flames of my anger!
* Niki draws her axe.
* Rachel draws her sword and drops into an aggressive stance...
<GMStoren> Two spirits float down from thin air, makign funny faces at Mystere...
* Chrys draws his knives and drops into an aggressive stance...
<GMStoren> >> Spectre A & B join the fight!
<Niki> «ooc: The picture of my axe is better looking then your picture of the mana sword. ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Combat! :)
* Rahne readies her spear, sliver glistening in the faint light.. *
* Mystere scowls, his expression grim beneath the mask.
<Chrys> «ooc: And we see that HOW? ;) »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Dead or alive.. makes no differenc to me! ;)

<Cody> «ooc: Me: ;_; »
<Rhiana> Leave the ghosties for me.
<Niki> «ooc: No, we wish Rhiana was here...and SHE IS! HAHAHA! »
* Rahne twirls around, dropping low and extending her spear to it's full length! The weapon's shaft collides with the Zombie's feet, knocking them out from underneath it! Taking the oppertunity to strike, Rahne dashes towards her off-balance twirling her spear just moments before stabbing at the enemy! *
* Cody is gone (%Laundry. BBIAB :D(%log(none))%) (pec)

<GMStoren> >> Spectre B follows it's companion and throws a dark bolt at Rhiana!
<GMStoren> >> She blocks the worst with her powerful aura... 30 damage!
* Rhiana puts up an aura shield!
<GMStoren> >> Mystere's turn.
* Rhiana grins, "I'll have to show you how it's done."
<Mystere> Now...
* Mystere steeples his fingers in front of him. "Immutable flow of the earth mother's everlasting life!" Abruptly, he clasps his hands together tightly and strikes the ground beneath his feet with great force. The area trembles softly. "Your life is forfeit!!" The ground beneath the first spectre begins to crack and bulge as vines twist their way out of it. Suddenly, a wicked spike of wood and vine bursts from the distension in a shower of stone and 
<GMStoren> « That's fun tos ay that :) »
<Mystere> «ooc: Aliases are sexy. »
<Rachel> <<And...? :o>>

<Rahne> << Don'tcha hate when those things get cut off? ^^; >>
<Mystere> «ooc: I tested them before, but my target specification was too long. ^^; »
<GMStoren> >> Mystere casts Dryad's Rage of Mana! The spectre is harmed gravely by the magical spike.. 43 damage!
* Mystere uncurls his fingers, and the spike withers and crumbles to ash, the hole through which it came filling in rapidly. "Surrender your life!"
<GMStoren> >> Chrys's turn.
* Chrys extends his hands, chanting. "Djinn, spirit of knowledge, impart your wisdom unto us!"
* Chrys glares at Spectre A closely, wrenching out every one of it's secrets...
<Rahne> << Ahh...  evil! ^^;  I wonder what the max character limit for our enemy's names are. ^^; >>
<GMStoren> >> Chrys casts Analayze!
<GMStoren> >> Spectre A is encased by a tragetting square. "Spectre HP: 142/200 MP:13/15 Hates Wisp!
* Chrys sighs. .oO(Never would have guessed that, after the spells they got blasted with -_-;)
<GMStoren> >> Niki's turn.
<Niki> «ooc: *ponders if he should...* »
<Chrys> Oi! Anyone got Light magic?
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Not me.. ^^;
<Niki> «ooc: I should. ;) »
* Rahne shakes her head.. *
* Niki digs through her satchel and produces a silver coin with a small white flame on it. She throws it at the enemy group. (Wisp Coin)
<Mystere> I fear not.
<GMStoren> « Smart! :) »
<GMStoren> >> Niki uses a Light Coin!
<Chrys> ...That works.
<GMStoren> >> A huges flare of holy light engulfs the battlefield near the enemies...
<Niki> Wow, those thing DO work.  Neat!
<Mystere> Perhaps you have potential yet, child.
* Cody is back (%gone: 12mins 20secs ) (pec)

<Cody> «ooc: BTW, I bought that holy coin JUST for you guys ;) Love me. »
<Niki> «ooc: ^^; »
<GMStoren> « ack.. Rahne.. i forgot o_o »
<Mystere> «ooc: You can arbitrarily say it kills them all, Stor. ^_~ »
<Rahne> << hehe.  Kay.  Just wonderin'. :) >>
<Chrys> «ooc: brb, wha b'y »
<Niki> «ooc: Well just factor that into the Light blast fromt he coin. »
<Rachel> <<Oh god, he's a newfie>>
<GMStoren> The zombie roars in pain, it's arm falling off...
<GMStoren> >> Zombie attacks Niki!
<Niki> Wow, guess its mad now.
<Niki> Come on.  I'll kick your butt!
<GMStoren> >> It persistantly bites her ala Resident Evil! 49 damage!
<Cody> «ooc: Eats Strawberry Pocky ^^ »
<Rachel> <<No necking on the first date!>>
<Mystere> «ooc: Niki: Damn! Why did I take the lockpick instead of the ammo!? »
* Niki swings her axe over the head of the zombie. To bad she missed and got bitten instead.
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
<Niki> OW!  ARGH! EVERYTHING WANTS TO EAT ME...THATS IT!
* Rachel rushes at the Zombie and leaps on it, slashing viciously with her sword!
<GMStoren> Rachel attacks the zombie! 70 damage!
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 2/2!
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana's turn.
* Rachel drops back quietly, twirling her sword..
* Rhiana goes into a pitching windup, "Outdated? Yes. Effective? Most certainly. Salamando, time for the old reliable Fireball!"
<Mystere> «ooc: Heh, this should be fun. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Ghostie A »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Shoulda let me throw the coin >:) »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana casts Fireball!
<Niki> «ooc: I wasn't sure if it relied on your mind stat or not. I thought not. ^^; »
<Cody> «ooc: It does! Haha! »
<Mystere> «ooc: If it did 80 with Niki, it would have done like 500 with Rhi. »
<Mystere> «ooc: ...wow. »
<GMStoren> >> 81 damage! The Spectre fades away screetching..
* Rhiana dusts off her hands, "That was easy."
<Cody> «ooc: The spectre realizes we said the word 'Gemma' over and over and screams real loud to make up for it. »
<GMStoren> >> Keylia attacks the zombie!
<GMStoren> « aww... »
<GMStoren> >> 132 damage!

<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
<Mystere> «ooc: She has a revive she uses though, doesn't she? »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Tough bugegrs..
<Rahne> Good night..
<GMStoren> « Yes. :) »
<Rachel> <<* Rahne falls asleep :o>>
<Mystere> «ooc: One of Roric's quotes is "Geez, tough bugger.". »
* Rahne slashes upwards with the blade of her spear, catching the Zombie full in the face! Adding insult to injury, after completing the arcing slash, Rahne then smashes the butt of her spear square into her opposition, knocking them off their feet and sending them skidding backwards across the floor!! *
<Rhiana> ...something bugs me about...the undead.
<Mystere> These are creatures that should not be.
<Rachel> Besides the fact they want to eat your innards and brains for breakfast?
<GMStoren> >> Rahne impales the zombie full on this time, her weapon cleaving it into dust!
<Chrys> Besides the fact they're...gee, I don't know, undead?
<Rhiana> ...no, it means something else...
<GMStoren> >> 76 damage!
<Mystere> «ooc: Holy sheisse. »
<GMStoren> « anti-undead effect :) »

<Chrys> «ooc: ... Um, Dek. »
<Rachel> <<Zombies are trying to rip our flesh off and she's watching the Simpsons ;) Nice. ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: Uh. nO. I wish. »
<GMStoren> >> Tori uses Snap Judgement! But even his move is stymied slightly by the remaining spectre's ethereal form.. WHACKED! 30 damage!
<Chrys> «ooc: Tell me exactly how a female "beats off" »
<Niki> «ooc: Ask Radien. He said that Lucca had a wang. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Well, I'm eating pocky. Not beating off, no ;) »

<GMStoren> >> Mystere's turn.
<Cody> You scare me.
<Cody> «ooc: Ack! OOC ;) »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rahne> << ^^; >>
* Mystere steeples his fingers in front of him. "Immutable flow of the earth mother's everlasting life!" Abruptly, he clasps his hands together tightly and strikes the ground beneath his feet with great force. Beneath spectre A a misting of green sparkles begins to rise from the ground below. There is a soft tremble, and a wooden spike bursts forth, scattering them. "Preapre to die!"
<GMStoren> « And Cody speaks from beyond :O »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody speaks from...the other room! :D »
<Mystere> «ooc: Doh. Typo. *fixes* »
<Mystere> «ooc: RoM again. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: RoM? Regend of Mana? Scooby Doo Episode? »
<GMStoren> >> Mystere uses Rage of Mana in spiffy style! 40 damage to Spectre B!
<Chrys> «ooc: *resists the urge to play his ToP RoM »
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys: SEND ;_; »
* Mystere uncurls his fingers, and the spike withers and crumbles to ash, the hole through which it came filling in rapidly. "I cna't lose this fight."
<Niki> «ooc: Cody: You don't have it? New patch just came out. :D »
<Mystere> «ooc: Agh, more typoes. »
<Cody> «ooc: no ;_; »
<Mystere> «ooc: Oh well, it's about as many as I'd make normally. »
<Niki> «ooc: I'll send if Ash doesn't. »
<GMStoren> >> The ghost grins at Mystere and wiggles it's hands...
<Rhiana> «ooc: "Sore wa himutsu desu." »
<GMStoren> >> Spectre B casts Drain Life!
<GMStoren> >> Mystere loses 28 Hp! Spectre regains 28 HP!
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ Got it. »
<Mystere> You'll have to do better than that!
<GMStoren> « 52 Ror :) »
<Niki> «ooc: And yet Mystere has taken the most damage this battle. »
<GMStoren> >> Niki's turn.
<Mystere> «ooc: I'm eatin' candy when we finish. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: It's the dorky mask »
<GMStoren> « He's taunting them :) »
<Mystere> «ooc: Yo mamma so dead... »
* Niki look in her satchel for another coin, but doesn't find one. She then drops her satchel to the ground and runs up to the remaining spectre and slashes it.
<Rachel> <<She like da pope's flacid penis!>>
<Mystere> Fight, child. For everlasting peace!
<Rachel> <<*hides*>>
<Cody> «ooc: Oh god ^^; »
<Rhiana> «ooc: O_O »
* Niki gets the urge to throw her axe at Mystere.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Heather you are grossing me out! »
* Mystere flips back his hair.
<Rachel> <<I'm on a roll tonight. :P>>
<Rhiana> «ooc: More like a doughnut :P »
<Cody> «ooc: Hugs Heather cuz she rocks. :) »
<Tori> On second thought, combat banter is overated, anyway -_-;
<Mystere> «ooc: We need to do a Monkey Island RPG. »
<Rhiana> Roric isn't a Thespian, that's for certain.
<Rahne> Lo-- er..  Mystere certainly takes it to..  a uh... whole new level. ^^;
<GMStoren> >> Niki attacks!
* Rhiana snickers lightly at Rahne, "Still can't get passed official titles, eh?"
<GMStoren> >> Her axe connects with..something.. 39 damage!
<Mystere> «ooc: Wow, more than Keylia. O_o »
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 2/2!
* Niki spins around a little as her axe almost went right through it.
<GMStoren> « Well.. »
<GMStoren> « ti's related to your weapon level more.. key is only 1. »
<Rahne> ^^;  A lifetime of habit and schooling, La- er.. Mi- er..  Rhiana. ^^;
<Mystere> «ooc: Ah. »
<GMStoren> >> Chrys's turn.
* Chrys extends his hands, an aura of flame covering them, chanting. "Salamando, keeper of the flame, extend your power to my will!"
* Chrys shoots out two gouts of flame, which proceed to devour the Spectre in a blaze of glory!
<Rhiana> Just remember one thing, Rahne.  We're no different from you.  I don't believe in blue blood.
<GMStoren> >> Chrys casts Blaze Wall! The Spectre is burnt in the magical fire... 32 damage! It resist Engulf!
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
* Rachel attacks Spectre
<Niki> «ooc: @_@ »
<Niki> «ooc: I'm faster then Chrys! »
<Rahne> I dunno about that, Rhiana. ^^;
<Chrys> «ooc: Same speed, I think. And Storen was forget »
<GMStoren> >> Rachel has a hard time getting a good piece of the tricky ghsot.. 34 damage! Charge is still 2/2!
* Rhiana grins, "You did it there, that was easy, eh?"
<Niki> «ooc: Yeh, you have more luck. Although I'm close cuz of the axe. »
<GMStoren> « Yeah, I forgot the luck.. :) »
<Mystere> «ooc: Half the group has 11 Agi now. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Heh, I'm a luck tank »
<Rahne> You'd be amazed at how hard that was! ^^;  And how icky I feel for having ignored it! ^^;
<Mystere> «ooc: I'm lucky, I'm lucky, I'm lucky! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I am slower than Christmas. »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana's turn.
<Niki> «ooc: My luck is the third highest. Roric's is second. »
<Rhiana> Maybe I should try something new..I've always wondered if a ghost can survive where there's no air
* Rhiana snaps her fingers, "Djinm, dear, please. Toruture him some..."
<GMStoren> Djinn appears! "Gladly!"
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana casts Vacuum on Spectre B!
<Mystere> «ooc: Vacuum? O_o »
<GMStoren> >> The oxygen is sucked out of the area around the spirit, and then the spirit is iself is sucked into nothingness! 76 damage!
<Cody> «ooc: Hoover invented it! »
<Chrys> «ooc: Rhiana sucks like a Hoover! »
<Cody> «ooc: GMTA, Chrys ;) »
* Chrys blinkblinks
* Mystere sweeps his cape. "Fall screaming back to the Pit, abominations."
<Chrys> Nice.
* Mystere eats a candy and continues forward without pause.
<Cody> «ooc: Did you guys win yet? ^_^ Yay! Go team! Go GO PUFFY RAH RAH :D »
* Rhiana stretches, "2 kills for moi that time, I'm getting better."
<GMStoren> >> Purify Completion! j/k ;)
<Mystere> «ooc: Is Vacuum something secret? »
<Niki> «ooc: Woo! »
<Niki> «ooc: Yeah, Vacuum isn't on her sheet. »
<GMStoren> >> Victory! Part gains 40 xp!
<Rhiana> «ooc: It's her level 1 Wind spell. »
<GMStoren> « She decided to name it :) »
<Mystere> «ooc: Oh. it's listed as Air Blast. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I hadn't named it yet, so Storen defaulted it to Air Blast ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: Woo, level up. :D »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Nice Rhiana. ^_-

<GMStoren> « what did you say after Niki's Whoo? »
<Niki> «ooc: Rhiana: I know. ;) »

<Rhiana> Somewhat.  I schooled as a war mage, you know.
<Rhiana> When I was younger
<Mystere> «ooc: I'm fond of senko-jin myself. The epilepsy attack. »
* Niki walks over to where the zombie use to stand and stomps on its dusty remains.
<GMStoren> There's a door not far from Niki.
<Rhiana> I suggest we move on
* Rahne nods. *
<Rhiana> If I'm right....then it won't be long until there's more
* Niki finishes her stomping and walks over to the door.
* Rahne goes and places an ear against the door.. *
* Niki opens the door while Rahne is doing this.
<Rahne> -_-;
<GMStoren> Rahne hears a muffled voice. "Goddess.. open the door.. let me out of this infernal closet!"
<Mystere> Use caution!
<GMStoren> Niki opens the door, and a robes clergyman falls on her. ^^
<GMStoren> « er robed »
* Rahne peers inside. * ^^;
<Rahne> Oh my. ^^;
<Niki> HEY!
<Chrys> Girl's just pissed caution into the wind..
<Niki> Get off me!
* Niki pushes the clergyman away.
<Rhiana> It's not Cody, is it?
*** dankx0r (ambrosius@dial138.max3.qaccess.net) has joined #pureland
* Mystere catches him before he falls.
<Mystere> Sir, are you all right?
<Rahne> Nope..  Not Cody..
<GMStoren> The man urks, and gets pushed to a wall, his white and blue robe all rumpled and dusty. He coughs, a bit of his black hair parting to reveal... Belguteii?
* Niki walks into the room. ^^;
<Rhiana> Darn.
<GMStoren> Niki fidns it's an old storage closet. Nothing of value is inside except a dusty book.
<Chrys> No, but it's Bellgutty...Maybe he knows what they did with Cody?
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] That.. monster... *cough* locking me in there... *cough*
<Rhiana> Who did it?
<Rahne> Are you okay, sir?
<Rhiana> Was it Khyros?
* Niki picks up the dusty book.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Is that Rahne, Joch's pupil?
<GMStoren> Belguteii stands shakily.
<Niki> This thing sucks.
* Niki drops it on the floor.
<Mystere> «ooc: hee »
<Cody> «ooc: This...is so cool. http://ien.cjb.net/zopharxa_compressed.wav »
* Chrys sighs and picks up the book, not knowing what it's good for.
* Rahne nods. * Yes, sir. Are you okay?
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] I.. I have been down here for.. a week...a month? I do not recall. That man.. Khyros.. he drugged me..
<Cody> «ooc: Listen to that wav! Or I'll beat you! »
<Niki> «ooc: Beat me! Be me hard and good! »
<Rhiana> Khyros....hmm..could it be..he's took your place?
<Rhiana> As in a disguse?
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Yes, he has no doubt be perpatrating his heinous dark crimes in my place...
<Mystere> You should escape. Soon this place will be a battlefield.
<Rahne> I thought that other..  Belguteii was..  wrong feeling.. :/
<Rhiana> Well atleast now we have something to go on.  Should we check the shrine again?
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] No, it is Khyros... a powerful necromancer of Vandole. His power is astronomical..
* Niki walks back into the closet and sees if the back wall is fake by smashing her axe up against it.
<Rhiana> ...damn..
<Rhiana> I was right.
<Mystere> I refuse to lo lose to the likes of him.
<GMStoren> Nothing.
<Mystere> He'll pay.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] The gemma.. what of the gemma..?
<Rahne> Will you be able to escape this place on your own, learned one?  I'm afraid we're only to travel deeper into the lion's den..
<Rhiana> Necromancer...the forbidden magic...
<Cody> «ooc: *screams* »
<Chrys> ....the Gemma. Don't bring him up.
* Niki starts to go back the way they came. "Dead end. Lets go...its to dark down here."
* Chrys glances at Mystere. "Do you think you have a choice...?"
*** Tori (rareifever@216-97-204-085.ppp.mpinet.net) has joined #Pureland
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Tori
<Niki> «ooc: <Chrys> Otherwise Cody will scream. »
<Rhiana> I was afraid of this...he's a necromancer.  
<Tori> <<Wee...always fun when the computer freezes :P What'd I miss?>>
<Mystere> We'll see if he's so fond of the dead once he has joined their ranks.
<Chrys> «ooc: Does that mean we're gonna have to fight a Blood Golem? »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] I can't merely run away to my study. It is obviously not safe from his evil sight.
<Cody> «ooc: Someone tell him. ^^ »
* Chrys sighs. -_-; "Pride will get you nowhere..."
<Rahne> Cody, sir.  A..  precious..  friend of mine, is the Gemma..  :/
<Cody> «ooc: Cuz I forgot when he pinged out. :O »
<Mystere> «ooc: We found the real Belguteii in a closet. Khyros had impersonated him for some time. »
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah that's pretty much it ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: And Niki left. ;) »
<Rhiana> Well, I think we should head to where Belguteii should be right now.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] If he plans to summon Thanatos...
<Mystere> Thanatos?
*** dankx0r (ambrosius@dial138.max3.qaccess.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer)
* Rhiana gasps, "Don't say that!"
<Niki> «ooc: After the battle she got afraid of the dark again. ;) »
<Mystere> «ooc: Thanatoast...nutritious and delicious! »
<Cody> «ooc: But sometimes gives you gas. »
<Niki> «ooc: Is it better then wonderbread? »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] It is true. he plans to use the blood of the gemma to seal his dark pact, and reincarnate the Prince of Darkness..
<Mystere> Quickly...do you know where this ritual would be?
* Rhiana curses, "This is unbelievably bad."
<Rahne> We can't dally here then..  Oh Cody...  :/
<Mystere> We've got to hurry. There's stilltime.
<Rhiana> If he summons the demon that caused the rise of the last Mana Beast...
<Niki> «ooc: <Belguteii> And he will succeed because this RPG needs a good final boss...or something like that. »
<Chrys> ....
<Mystere> «ooc: Thanatos was cool. »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Below here... there might still remain the same alter Thanatos used while he yet drew breath in life. The one where he practiced his dark arts to revive his lost son.
<Cody> «ooc: Mwah haha! This body is strong! »
<Chrys> The...Prince....
* Chrys growls.
<Mystere> Below? Show me the way!
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] *cough* I will come with you... I cannot call myself a Sage and sit by while history could be threatened..
<Rhiana> Goddess I'm so stupid..why didn't I see this...
<Mystere> Do not push yourself too much. 
<Mystere> Just point us in the right direction.
<Niki> «ooc: Cuz you were adjusting your breasts? »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] This is getting worse and worse.. lead the way, guy.
* Chrys looks at Rhiana. "You aren't stupid...I should have seen it, too..." -_-
<Rhiana> I assumed it was just something simple like "get the girl with the mana sword"...
<GMStoren> Belguteii leans on Rahne for support.
<Niki> «ooc: <Belguteii> Hey baby. »
* Chrys sighs. "Is it ever simple, Rhiana?"
<Mystere> «ooc: *snickers* »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] I'll recover in time as it wears thin... please, this way.
<Rahne> Master Belguteii..  if your role is not on the field of battle, there's no shame in that.  Just as Master Joch and Mistress Luka aid in guiding the fate of the world, there's no need to reduce yourself to such...
<Rhiana> I suppose not.
* Rahne does her best to steady the Sage.. *
<GMStoren> Belguteii points to a semi-collapsed stairway not far down the lonely hall.
* Mystere immediately sets off in the indicated direction.
<Rhiana> Although, I wonder why the Empire would support Khyros...
<Chrys> ...Coercement can get you everywhere, Rhi...
<Rhiana> Bringing back that demon won't benefit them...
<Rhiana> «ooc: What? ;) »
<Chrys> «ooc: He's saying Khyros probably tricked them into helping him »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] I have a feeling Khyros has a hidden agenda. The Empire seeks the gemma.. intact.
<Chrys> «ooc: Despite how it sounds, he's NOT hitting on Rhiana »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Ah :) »
<Cody> «ooc: screams :p »
<Niki> «ooc: <Chrys> He's hitting on Belguteii. »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] To end their life for such an end would merely doom our world forever..
<Rhiana> Since we've seen every high ranker in the Empire, save the Emperor himself, and the General...
<Rhiana> ..it would be hard for him to do this with all that fire power..
<Chrys> ...
<GMStoren> You reach the stairs, a dark aura permeating from them.
<Chrys> ...Wow. Dark.
<GMStoren> They look rather perilous, but still navigable.
<Mystere> Let me handle this. The following battle will be dangerous.
<Rahne> Forboding. :/
* Mystere begins to descend cautiously.
* Chrys starts up the stairs carefully. "Just follow along for once, knighty."
<Niki> «ooc: Wow, lucky Niki left you might have seen her cry right now. ;) »
<Tori> *quietly* I wonder if this is how it's always started...
<Rahne> Are you sure you wish to descend, Master Belguteii?
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Sir... is that my book you have? *to Chrys*
<Rahne> << I thought Niki had it. ^^; >>
<GMStoren> « Chrys took it after her.. »
<Niki> «ooc: She picked it up then dropped it on the floor. »
* Chrys stops. "Er, yeah... sorry. I picked it up because I didn't know what it was, and thought it might come in handy."
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Please, if you could...
* Chrys nods and hands it to him.
* Rachel is oddly quiet, eyeing Belguteii untrustingly as she feels the darkness flow over her..
<Chrys> «ooc: <Belguteii> Finally! I have my romance novel back! ;_; Oh, I overflow with love! »
<Cody> «ooc: Hehee. »
<GMStoren> Belguteii takes it. "Now I am ready. I may be weak, but I am not useless... I command great magic."

<Mystere> «ooc: Screw this, let's just send him in alone. ^_~ »
* Rahne looks at the Sage with a measure of concern.. * Though I know it's not my place to say such, my concern forces me to speak out.. This isn't a matter of honor or redemption, learned one..
* Chrys starts back down the stairs, carefully.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Yes, Rahne, it is a matetr of life or death.. for your friend, and for the world. Let us hurry.
* Rachel heads onwards...
<GMStoren> Keylia heads downstairs..
* Rahne closes her eyes for a moment, before pressing forward.. *
<GMStoren> The party steps carefully down the stairwell, as the sound of chanting begins to be heard...

<GMStoren> [Voice] Volae qua, roiga thilos... quavosh zhazael, thilos Thanatos...
* Rahne frowns.. *
<Chrys> «ooc: Volae qua, Righteous thighs? »
* Rhiana clinches her fist, "It's a necromancy spell..summoning Thanantos.."
* Mystere steps incautiously into the room, not intending to allow the ritual to complete while he hesitates.
<Chrys> .oO(No...not that Prince of Darkness... I know who they mean...)
<Rhiana> We must hurry, now.
<Niki> «ooc: *imagines an iron golem with the head of Thanatos for some reason.* »
<Chrys> «ooc: lol »
<Mystere> «ooc: Did he just call Thanatos senora? »
<Cody> «ooc: Ole! »
* Rachel begins to look more and more determined, her hand tightening on the hilt of the sword...she follows Mystere out.
<Rhiana> Let's go
* Chrys follows the two fighting whores. Er...
<GMStoren> As you enter the room, the chanting gets louder... a starnge glow eminates from the archway up ahead..
* Rahne is on Rachel's heels.. *
<Rachel> <<Chrys... ;)>>
<Mystere> «ooc: *blue fires light as you walk forward* »
<Chrys> «ooc: lol, magus! Huay! »

<Niki> «ooc: LOL. »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Be wary.. he could have barriers up..
* Tori pulls his cap low as he walks towards the chanting.
<Chrys> So? Barriers are meant to be broken.
* Chrys quietly draws his knives.
* Rachel glances back at Rahne, noticing the closeness, and hopes the woman doesn't do something too willfull..
* Rahne has a look of stoic determination in her eyes.. *
<GMStoren> You step through the entrance...
<GMStoren> « gimme a sec :) »
* Mystere marches forward with purpose, his body tensed with anger despite his somewhat comical otufit.

<Cody> «ooc: All the time, Rhi! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Good, with Mentos that's okay, you know »
<Mystere> «ooc: "Only if they're taxis." »
<GMStoren> You find the soruce of the chanting and the light. Before your very eyes, a tall black caped figure mumurs incantations.. as a green light flickers in and out of being before him. The young Cody lies upon the cold ebony stone alter, stripped of everything save a small cloth around his nether regions. Strange runes are imprinted all oevr his body, glowing with and evil light.
<Niki> «ooc: Do you make stupid ass commercials? »
<Rhiana> «ooc: just show 'em the Mentos, and they'll laugh »
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Quavosh zhazael, feazh zhaloi, omni thi...
<GMStoren> Cody starts floating... as the chanting stops.
* Rachel draws a breath in and holds it, her eyes narrowing as she takes in the scene...
* Mystere allows Rachel to pass him.
* Rhiana flicks a set of fireballs at Khyros, "Don't you know it's impolite to speak in a language not everyone around you can understand?"
<Niki> «ooc: Of course Rachel is looking at Cody and breathing heavily...not Khyros. ;) »
<GMStoren> [Khyros] So.. you've come for the festivities...
* Rahne draws in a deep breath.. *
<GMStoren> Rhiana fireballs fizzle as they hit a arreir of arcane power.
<GMStoren> « er barrier »
* Rachel glares. "Let him go, Khyros."
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Monster!
<Mystere> The only event we'll be attending is your cremation. It's time to say goodbye, Khyros.
* Rhiana unleashes her whip, "Be gone, Imperial Lap Dog."
* Rachel raises the sword slightly, the blade glinting a little in the green light...
<Mystere> «ooc: I'm mega-bad at saying goodbye like this! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I can't tell if this is a sacrifice.. or some sick fetish.. but it ends now, scumball..
<Chrys> ...\
<GMStoren> [Khyros] I think not. You rabble cannot threaten me with such empty words.
<Mystere> Then allow me to threaten with my weapon!
* Mystere takes his battle stance.
<Chrys> .oO(They think they can stop him? God, maybe I shouldn't have even offered to help.)
* Rahne remains silent.. tense.. *
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Very well then. You may amuse me.
* Chrys remains silent.. livid..
<Rhiana> Does the Emperor know you're down here summoning a demon capable of destroying the world, Khyros, I doubt he'd be very...pleased to learn this bit of information
* Rachel narrows her eyes and drops to an aggressive stance...
* Cody appears to be completely unconscious, his face serene despite the strange glowing runes. Perhaps almost a little too serene...like the face someone may have when nearing...or at...death.
<GMStoren> Khyros lifts a darkly glowing hand and two corpse kngiths rise from the very floor...
<Mystere> Reprehensible bastard. Your toys will not save you now!
<GMStoren> [Khyros] That fool Julius?
<GMStoren> [Khyros] He knows nothing.
<Mystere> «ooc: * Khyros uses Cody to open the way to Valen's spire. »
<GMStoren> [Khyros] And it shall remain that way... kill them.
* Rachel tries not to look at Cody, knowing it'll throw her off...she instead focuses intensely on the enemies...
<Rhiana> So you're using the Empire...exactly what did you promise the Emperor..to allow you to moblize his forces like this?
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] You're balck arts are nothing to Mana's power.. I shall punish you with the fury of history...
<GMStoren> An evil spellbook rises from a table, flapping it's pages of it's own will.
<Cody> «ooc: National Scar! Whoo! »
<Mystere> «ooc: At least we don't have to fight chairs. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Woo! Nudie pictures! »
<GMStoren> [Khyros] The emporer is nothing to me, fools! Thantos is all! Interrupt me not, and face the abyss for your intrusion!
<GMStoren> >> Boss Battle!
* Rhiana curses, "He didn't fall for it..."
<Mystere> You have earned only a brief respite from death, Khyros! Your body will soon join those of your puppets!

<Rachel> <<LOL!>>
<Cody> «ooc: ^_- »

<Rachel> <<Yay, 70 hp ^^;>>
<Rachel> <<Err 30 ;P>>
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
* Mystere reels, bleeding, but forces himself to his feet.
* Rahne casts ¤Alacritous Gale! With a deafening clap of thunder, a bolt of lightning erupts from heaven! With the fading flash, Djinn appears and waves hello to Rahne! Weaving complex threads of mana, Djinn crafts a sparkling blanket of magic, and tosses it over Rachel! The glistening sheet fades away, leaving behind a few flickering sparkles. Djinn winks at Rahne before vanishing, "Have fun, kiddo!" *
<Rachel> <<O_o Wow :o Rahne wuvs me!>>

<Mystere> «ooc: Oh yeah! I get to off it! »
<Chrys> ...
<GMStoren> >> Mystere's turn.
<Chrys> Die. Die. Die. -_-;
* Mystere steeples his fingers in front of him. "Immutable flow of the earth mother's everlasting life!" Abruptly, he clasps his hands together tightly and strikes the ground beneath his feet with great force. Beneath Revenant B a misting of green sparkles begins to rise from the ground below. There is a soft tremble, and a wooden spike bursts forth, scattering them. "The very land rises to oppose you!"
<GMStoren> « I'm trying tod elay you with high Hp enemies ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Mystere uses Rage of Mana! Revenant B buckles to the power of Dryad... 35 damage! It dies.. permanently.

<GMStoren> >> Chrys's turn.

<GMStoren> [Khyros] Yes.. yes.. soon...!
<Rachel> Cody...!
<Cody> «ooc: Khyros: Soon we will get Pay Per view here! HAHAA! »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana lobs a Fireball at Revenant A! It has no effect!
* Tori 's face goes grim and he brings the gun up to eye level, aiming for a clean shot through the skull. . .
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's barreir drops. Revnant's barreir drops.
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
* Rachel lunges at the last enemy, ripping into it desperately! "Let...me....THROUGH....!!!!!!"

<Cody> «ooc: Save the Princess Cody, Rachel! Er... »
<GMStoren> « Rachel's charge at 1/2! btw :) »
<Chrys> ...We can't let him summon Thanatos...

<GMStoren> >> Party gains 80 xp! 500 Luc!
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 16: Sacrifice, Part 1 | Loc: Alter of Thanatos |  Time: Dryad's Day, Night | 1684 Luc -=-'
<Mystere> It's time to face us, Khyros.
* Chrys rushes at Cody, daggers drawn, hoping to take the young boy out of the necro's grasp, one way or another!
* Tori notices the victory and instantly shifts his aim from Cody to Khyros.
<GMStoren> Cody's coating of blackness starts rippling..
<GMStoren> It recedes.
* Rahne charges forwards, towards Cody! *
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Curses... you still defy me?
* Chrys grabs Cody. "Damn straight we defy you."
<Rachel> You're damn STRAIGHT we're defying you!
* Cody hovers in the air for a few brief moments, then sudenly he spirals downward...Into Chrys. ^^;
<Niki> «ooc: <Chrys> Jinks! HAHA, you can't talk anymore bitch! »
* Chrys grabs Cody and wobbles back a bit towards Rahne..
* Rachel glares at Khyros and levels the sword at him...
<GMStoren> The necromancer takes a step back, Cody falling to the ground.
* Cody smacks his leg HARD into the table as he does so, causing a loud crack...but he doesn't seem to react at all. In
<Mystere> Make your final prayer to your dark god, Khyros. You will sleep in his breast soon enough. *raises his weapon*
<Cody> «ooc: -in »
* Rachel moves smoothly in front of Cody, Chrys and Rahne...
<Tori> The goddess doesn't need your help in turning fate's sad gears, corpse mage. 
<Cody> «ooc: I love you, Tori. »
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Well well well... so you aren't weaklings after all. The emporer is wise to be wary of you.
* Chrys puts down Cody and looks through his bag for some sort of herbs to help him...
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Leave this place... you defiler of souls..
* Rahne smirks at Khyros. * It's "emperor", idiot. :P
<Cody> «ooc: Aaah! It's Lenneth! »
<GMStoren> « Rahne.. ^^; »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^; »
<Rachel> Yes....leave....before I remove your head from your shoulders...
<Rahne> << Not intended to offend you.  I know you know how to spell emperor. ^_^ >>
<Niki> «ooc: And shove it up your ass! »
<GMStoren> [Khyros] What, why not kill me here and now and fuel your anger? The death appeases him... hahaha.
* Rachel growls...
<Mystere> Be careful what you wish for.
<Chrys> ...Ten thousand deaths aren't good enough for you, corpse fucker.
<Cody> «ooc: Khyros: It makes him HORNY. »
<Niki> «ooc: *** Chrys is now known as Jelanda. »
<Cody> «ooc: Stop with the VP refs! ^^; Stop!! »
<GMStoren> [Khyros] Even if you think you've saved the boy, you are sadly mistaken...
<Mystere> «ooc: "Feel the true power of a princess, you motherfucking asshole!" »
<Rahne> Run away, Khyros...  this day is not yours..
* Rachel glances behind her at Cody's prone form and then glares at Khyros...
<GMStoren> [Khyros] I shall see you again... with a little gift, Mana Knight.
<Rachel> ...?
<Niki> «ooc: A new car! »
<Mystere> You're wise to flee. The next time we meet, I will end your life.
<GMStoren> Khyros vanishes into a stream of putrid gas and bugs.. :o
<Chrys> Awww, da little necrophiliac wants ta marry widdle Wachel. Awwww.
<Cody> «ooc: He's Dras Drum! »
* Rachel blinks and turns, glaring at Chrys. "God, shut up. Is he okay?"
* Rahne drops her spear and spins around. * Cody!
<Chrys> He's...Living.
* Rachel heads to Cody's side...
<Chrys> I can't say much more.
* Rahne rushes to Cody's side.. * Oh Cody...
<GMStoren> Keylia and Belguteii rush to Cody's side...
* Mystere waves away the gas with distaste. "What a bastard." He looks to Tori. "Troubleshooter...can you heal Cody?"
<Rachel> <<How many sides can he have left! ;)>>
* Tori pulls his cloak off and drapes it over Cody.
* Cody 's body is very, very still. An unatrually cold and pale. It's hard to tell if he's breathing or not...but you can see his chest rise and fall slightly...in a very slow, rythmic fashion.
<Tori> I can give it a try.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] He isn't wounded...
<Cody> «ooc: and. »
<Chrys> Rhiana, Belguteii...You two know about magic...is he cursed or anything? Will he be alright?
<Mystere> «ooc: Except for that leg he snapped. :D »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ Heh. »
* Rachel gazes helplessly as she sheathes her sword...
<Mystere> There's certainly something wrong with him.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] No, but I'm afraid he's been poisoned. Do you possibly have a sample of what he ingesed?
<Chrys> Poisoned...?
<Mystere> Poisoned...
<Rachel> Will the cup do? Keylia? Did you grab the...?
<GMStoren> Keylia offers the cup.
* Rachel exhales..
<GMStoren> Belguteii runs his finegr along it, sniffing. "....This is disturbing."
<Cody> «ooc: Belguteii: It smells like....cat pee! »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] He has partaken of the leaves of the Hyrdad. In a large quantity it can be quite undoubtedly fatal.
<Rachel> ....
<Niki> «ooc: >> Belguteii licks the innards of the cup. "Yep, this is poison." *dies* »
* Rahne breath catches.. *
<Chrys> ...How large a quantity was it...Rachel?
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Luckily, this was diluted...
<Rachel> I don't know...they sent me away.
<Chrys> ...Oh, okay. That's good.
* Mystere withdraws a healing herb from within his voluminous cape. "Will a normal antidote suffice, or do you need to mix one?"
<Rachel> << :P I'm going to beat Chrys up ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Good. :D »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] However, it has induced a coma-like state... and I fear he may have already suffered neurological damage after this ritual..
<Chrys> ...Yay, his brain's fried.
<Niki> «ooc: Woo! »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] No, I can make one, but there is a problem.
* Rachel kneels down a bit, touching Cody's cheek...
<Chrys> .oO(At least he'll whine less that way.)
* Mystere lowers his head and folds his arems.
<Niki> «ooc: Cody's gonna be a space cadet from now on! »
<Mystere> «ooc: harems »
<Chrys> «ooc: @_@ LOL »
* Cody doesn't react.
<Chrys> «ooc: Your harems are mighty limber »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] The only cure for the Hyrdad's curse is that of her twin, Dryad. We need a leaf from her grace.
* Tori looks at Chrys "Are you always this much of an ass, or do you have to practice every morning?"
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] But she has been missing from the palace.. I do not know where she could be.
<Rachel> . o O (I'm sorry....I should've stayed....I knew something wasn't right but I left....I'm so sorry...)
* Chrys grins. "Practice. I'm sure you practice too...maybe we should get together some time." ^_^
<Niki> «ooc: Bet you all wish I was there now to kick Chrys in the nuts. ;) »
* Rahne fights back her tears.. an entirely too common occurance as of late.. *
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Let's get out fo here... Cody needs to be taken up top.
<Mystere> (m) Dryad...
<Rachel> Yes...right.
* Tori sighs, a disgusted look on his face, and focuses back on Cody.
* Rachel hoists Cody into her arms and nods. "Are we ready?"
* Chrys looks at Rachel and Keylia. "I'll need to talk with you two later about...payment. But let's cure him first, alright?"
<Rachel> <<lol.>>
* Mystere simply walks away. "I've done all I can here. The rest is up to you."
<Cody> «ooc: Mystere: Only you can prevent forest fires! »
<Rachel> <<Man. ^^; You certainly do make it sound obscene, I gotta admit. ;)>>
* Cody is cold in Rachel's arms...lifeless almost.
* Mystere vanishes in a swirl of his cape.
<Chrys> «ooc: Heheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh. »
*** Mystere is now known as Gayo
* Rahne picks up her spear.. unable to do anything.. *
<Gayo> «ooc: God, that was fucked up. »
* Chrys walks up the stars.
<Chrys> «ooc: stairs »
<Gayo> «ooc: I had fun. »
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ Yes it was, Gayo. »
* Rachel sighs softly but doesn't even bother to reply, hugging Cody tight as she heads off upstairs...
<GMStoren> You all retreat the dreaded place...

<GMStoren> It's not long before you manage to haul the poor boy back to the upper portions fo the place. Janice herself lets Cody use her room upon seeing his condition.
<GMStoren> [Janice] I.. can't believe this... all this time we were fooled?
<Rachel> <<lol as my dog stares up at me as if to ask when exactly I plan on sleeping ;P>>
<Cody> «ooc: Give the poor boy a scrubbing! He's full of satanic symbols! ;) »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] I am afraid so... we have failed Mana, Lady Janice. -_-
* Rahne presses one of Cody's cold pale hands against her cheek... *
<Chrys> «ooc: Agh. GTG again. »
<Cody> «ooc: Poor CHrys ^^; »
<GMStoren> There's a knock at the door, followed by a scuffle of some sort.
*** Chrys (flare_star@4.35.219.28) Quit (Quit: "GAHH!! You don't spread Cheese Whiz on the body of Christ!" - Exploitation Now)
*** Gayo is now known as Roric
* Roric steps inside, stumbling a bit as Niki pushes past him.
<GMStoren> Roric and NIki find everyone staring a Cody grimly. :/
<Roric> 'Ey, I...ow! Watch it! I 'eard wot 'appened wit' th'kid...
<Niki> No me first.
* Cody 's hair has long come undone from it's usual ponytail...it's hanging messily over his face and eyes.
* Rachel blinks and turns to eye Roric...
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<Niki> Hey! You found the girly guy.  Neat. ^^
* Rahne doesn't look up to look at Roric, instead gently brushing back Cody's hair out of his eyes.. *
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Figures you got scared of the dark... don't worry bout it though..
<Niki> Well you didn't tell me it was gonna be dark down there, so its your fault.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Fine, it's my fault ok? :P
* Roric eyes Janice as he steps in.
<Roric> «ooc: My face is revealed now, BTW> »
<GMStoren> Janice looks up.
<Niki> Okay, just as long as you know. ^_-
* Roric steps over to Cody and looks down at him somberly. "'E's in a bad way. Any'ow, I still think you blokes're in way over yer 'ead with this shit, but...kid needs all th'elp 'e can get.
<Roric> "
<GMStoren> [Janice] So.. Sir Roric... you came at last.
<Roric> I ain't a knight no more, Janice. I'm just a guy. I ain't doin' this as some sorta savior. I'm doin' this as a friend.
* Niki looks at Roric and starts inspecting him...then starts to look through his stuff.
<GMStoren> [Janice] Friend or knight, I have always known your heart hasn't turned from us... we need you in this moment...
* Rachel raises an eyebrow but nods slightly at the admission of friendship ^^;
<Niki> Where is that stupid mask and cape....
<GMStoren> Keylia rubs her chin.
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<GMStoren> [Janice] Your family, the Fletchers, has long shared a special connection with Dryad...
<Roric> F'better or worse.
<Cody> «ooc: who has Cody's pendant, btw? Key? »
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Indeed. Perhaps he can help locate her... a leaf of the diety is the only way to make the antidote..
* Roric swats Niki offhandedly. "Now don't get me wrong 'ere...I ain't gonna be stupid 'ere. I intend to be cautious, as I don't plan on endin' up wit' me 'ead on a pike."
<Roric> A leaf, eh?
* Roric looks up, thinking.
* Rahne 's tail flicks restlessly.. * He's so cold...
<GMStoren> Keylia walks over to Cody, and drapes the pendant around Coyd's neck.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] You lost this, kid....
* Rachel reaches out to pat Rahne's shoulder... "We'll help him...don't worry..."
* Niki jumps back a little as Roric's hand tries to throw her away. She is holding his wineskin.
<Niki> Hey cool!  I'm thirsty!
<Cody> «ooc: Isn't she holding Cody? rachel, I mean? »
* Roric doesn't seem to notice, or care.
<Rachel> <<He's on a bed now or something :o>>
<Cody> «ooc: Oh ^^; »
<Rahne> << I believe he's resting in Janice's room now. ^^; >>
<Roric> «ooc: Yeah, we fast forwarded »
<GMStoren> « yep »
<Cody> «ooc: Super fast forward action! »
<Rachel> <<She's strong but she can't carry him for THAT long ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: Did he get all those icky symbols offa him? And is he still happily nude? I miss stuf :p »
* Niki opens it up and sniffs it. She then puts it back right away. "Eww, this stuff stinks."
<GMStoren> [Janice] Roric, you do know Dryad has been missing...?
* Cody 's pendant seems oddly large on him...as if he's now small and vunerable in this stae.
<Cody> «ooc: state »
<GMStoren> « I never said I washed him yet.. ^^ »
<Roric> Izzat so...I'll see what I can do 'bout findin' 'er...
<Cody> «ooc: Tee hee! »
<GMStoren> « he's just resting as we ponder »
<Roric> Guess I ain't got no choice.
<Cody> «ooc: Okay :) »
* Niki walks over to Cody out of bordem. "Is he dead or something?"
<Roric> Sorta, but only temporarily.
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] I'm sure you can. He can't be left like this for long, or he may be lost to us all.
<Rachel> We'll get it.
* Roric walks to the window, folding his hands behind his back and staring outside.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] I guess all we can do is sleep on this for now...
<Roric> ...
* Niki looks at Cody with a semi-serious face. ".........Sucks to be you."
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Rachel> I think I'll maybe stick around outside the room...
* Rahne glares at Niki... *
<Roric> ...Dryad's near 'ere...but there's somethin' else, somethin' damp'nin' 'er energies.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Niki. Give the fella a break...
<Roric> I can't tell no more.
* Niki pats Cody's shoulder. "Don't worry, you won't suck when you wake up."
<Rachel> <<Lol>>
<Roric> Not yet, anyway.
<GMStoren> [Janice] You think.. in the city itself?
* Cody sorta flops over to the side by Niki's push...sort of like a wet noodle ^^;
<Roric> Roric: It's damn likely. 
<Niki> «ooc: Roric...staring as Roric! »
* Rahne gets Cody back into position, a couple tears falling.. *
<GMStoren> [Janice] I'll assemble the priests. We will scour the very walls if we must...
<GMStoren> « wann end gang? :) »
<Cody> >> One tear falls on Cody's face.
* Roric nods. "You do that."
<Roric> «ooc: Just a sec. »
* Niki sweatdrops and pulls Cody back to where he was and mumbles to herself. "....nobody saw that..." ^^;
* Rachel glances at Rahne and Cody before looking away....
* Rahne gently wipes the tear away, whispering... * I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
<GMStoren> [Belguteii] Such a crisis... am I really just a witness of history? I will prepare what I can...
<GMStoren> Belguteii exits...
* Roric sighs, running his fingers along the edge of his boomerang and stepping in front of Janice to speak with her briefly. (q) "Look...I gotta tell ya. I ain't got no more ties t'Mana. I don't trust these goddess both'rers. So I want ya t'promise me yer gonna take damn good care o' that kid while 'e's 'ere."
<Cody> «ooc: For starters, put some damn clothes on him! ;) »
<GMStoren> [Janice] (hushed) You have my word, by the faith that our ancestors shared, no harm will come to him.
<Niki> «ooc: Maybe the leaf covering his parts is from Dryad. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Nah, tis a loincloth. :) »
<GMStoren> « ti was a cloth.. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: I know, but still. ^_- »
<Cody> «ooc: Be thankful. I was considering having it come off ;P »
* Roric nods, raising his voice to its normal level. "Priests can do their thin', but I'm gonna 'ead out and see if I can do it better. Gonna have a piss and a look around."
<Rahne> I think he's decently hidden under a blanket. ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Then we'd get FULL FRONTAL ASS SHOT. »
<Rahne> << Erk.  OOC. ^^: >>
<GMStoren> Janice blinks once, but nods. "I would be forever grateful."
* Roric waves and turns away, departing. "Seeya, mates."
<Rachel> Later,  Ror...
* Niki looks at Keylia. "Now what? I'll go with you because I didn't help you get him. And you got me this cool necklace."
<GMStoren> [Janice] I suggest we rest... no good will come of it if we use eyes that will not remain open.
<GMStoren> Keylia bends down.
<Niki> «ooc: <Keylia> I WANT IT UP THE BUM! <Chrys> YES MAM! »
<Rachel> <<*chokes*>>
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ Oh my. »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Niki... it's going to be tough from here on out. Can you face even the dark with us?
* Rachel looks solemn.. "I'll be keeping watch outside if you need me."
* Rachel heads out..
* Niki thinks.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] No matter what happens, hold onto that bracelet, and I'll help you if you get scared. :)
<Niki> «ooc: bracelet? ^^; »
<GMStoren> « necklace :) »
<GMStoren> « gack. tired. »
<Cody> >> A preistess runs by Rachel in a hurry, tittering about washing the Gemma off with Holy Water...^^;
<Roric> «ooc: OzzieNecklace: You can wear it on your wrist if you want. »
