Session Start: Sun Feb 25 20:43:57 2001
* Logging #pureland to 'logs\#pureland.log'
<GMStoren> ~~SESSION START!~~
<GMStoren> We last left the group as they slayed the first of the Dark Palace's guardians, opening the way deeper into the anicent shrine. The seed of Darkness awaits.
<Gayo> «ooc: Sounds like a hentai. »
* Cody shivers a bit involuntarily.
<Cody> «ooc: That's more hentai for you, baby »
<Niki> «ooc: Gayo: Shouldn't you change your nick? ;) »
*** Gayo is now known as Roric
* Rachel also shivers and has adopted a more serious look, her grip tight on her sword...
* Niki continues to hold Keylia's hand, and hold up the light orb.
* Chrys has his daggers drawn, still, and looks at Rachel and Cody.
<GMStoren> Ascending the stairs, you find yourself in an open room, pillars lining the halls. A few azure flames glow where torches would be, lighting the way forward. The path branches up ahead to the left and right.
* Chrys heads off right.
<Cody> Chrys...Hold up...
<Rachel> Chrys..!
<Chrys> C'mon, guys. We don't have all day... -_-;
* Roric flits his eyes from one side to the other, then shrugs and follows Chrys.
* Chrys stops and turns around, waiting for the party.
* Rahne quietly follows, a distant and impassive look upon her face.. *
* Cody follows Chrys.
* Chrys starts back off.
* Rachel heads after Chrys, shaking her head a bit.
* Niki waits for Keylia to move first.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Well, he's got a point at least...
<GMStoren> Keylia elads Niki off to the right with everyone.
<Cody> But how does he know which way is right?
* Rachel mumbles.. "Yeah, it's between his shoulders..."
<Roric> 'ey, issa coin flip.
* Tori scratches the back of his head.
<Tori> Should we split up?
<GMStoren> Chrys leads the group around the bend, entering a small room. It has a small red panel on the floor in the center, but you're not sure what it might do if you stepped on it...
<Rachel> No. We'd probably get eaten by pikes or something. Let's just go this way.
<Roric> ...pikes?
<Cody> «ooc: Evil! »
<Rachel> << ;) >>
<Cody> Pikes?
<Rahne> << Heh. ^^ >>
<Roric> ...like...spears?
<Cody> Maybe she means fish....
<Rachel> Well.....sure. If we can get attacked by books...
* Roric looks around for any doors the switch might trigger.
<Rahne> ..they're like Iffish.. but bigger, badder, and meaner...
<Cody> When did we get attacked by books? O_o I don't remember getting attacked by books.
<Roric> They'd almost have ta be.
* Chrys stops...
* Rachel sticks her tongue out at Cody before looking at the panel...
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Heh... it figures you wouldn't remmber, Cody. ;)
<Chrys> Guys..You might want to step back...
<Cody> Well I don't! And what do you mean by that, Keylia?
<Roric> You were naked an' 'orizontal at th'time.
<Rachel> Chrys....don't get your leg blown off... ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. »
* Roric steps back dutifully.
* Chrys kneels near the panel and quietly tries to examine it without triggering whatever it is...
<GMStoren> Roric does see any doors of any type, just smooth stonework.
* Niki thinks. "I don't remember fighting a book either."
* Cody blushes a bit at Roric's comment and steps back, "Oh."
* Rachel also steps back, keeping her sword ready..
<GMStoren> It seems like a simple enough floor switch. It might be a trap, but it seems to obvious for that.
<Cody> Anyone brave enough to trigger it? Or can you tell what it is, Chrys?
<Roric> «ooc: AUGH HEATHER I LOVE YOU »
<Rachel> <<Eh?>>
<Chrys> It's... a switch.
<Cody> «ooc: Uh? Howso? ^^ »
<Chrys> Step back...
<Rachel> <<Just randomly ;)>>
* Chrys presses it!
<GMStoren> [Keylia] It might open something up back elft you think, eh?
* Cody steps back a bit more. ^^:
<Roric> «ooc: This artist has AVALON FANART »
<Rachel> <<Yep.>>
<Rachel> <<S'where I found him ;P>>
<GMStoren> Chrys stands on the switch as a dull rumbling is heard in the distance. :o
<Cody> Maybe a new passageway opened up?
<Rachel> .....Key.....sometimes you're so right on that you worry me. ;)
<Chrys> ...That would be right.
<Chrys> Come on.
* Cody looks back to the rumbling.
* Chrys goes back whence he came.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, it's in the job description to be right. ^_-
* Cody follows Chrys, wondering when he became so leaderish all of a sudden. ^^;
* Rachel heads back the way they came... ;)
* Niki once again waits for Keylia to make the first move.
<GMStoren> « heh.. poor niki :) »
<Cody> «ooc: Dork :D »
<Niki> «ooc: Hey! »
<Niki> «ooc: Quiet Girly man! :O »
<GMStoren> Keylia continues following the brigand back around to the left...
* Rachel shivers again and frowns a bit...
* Cody also shivers, wrapping his shawl/mantle tighter around him...
<Cody> ...(w) What is this strange feeling...?
<Niki> «ooc: Puberty. »
<Chrys> ...Puberty, Cody.
<Rachel> <<Cody and Rache are orgasming just from being near each other.. :o>>
<Niki> «ooc: LOL! »
<Chrys> «ooc: DAMN YOU, THAT WASN'T INTENTIONAL THAT TIME. »
<Rachel> <<It was whispered!>>
<Cody> ...Ha Ha. :P
* Rahne looks at Cody with concern.. *
<Roric> «ooc: Cody: What...? Spider...sense...tingling! Danger nearby! Only have one chance! Must dodge! »
* Rachel sweatdrops.
<Chrys> «ooc: It's an empty corridor. You can hear well in an empty corridor. »
<Rachel> I feel it too. 
* Cody looks back at Rachel, "You do?"
* Rachel nods... "Like my skin is crawling."
<GMStoren> This place seems like the other room, however, between two large stained glass windows a stairway is visible. There's a few pieces of debris laying on the floor, assuming it's a result of that switch being pressed before.
<Roric> «ooc: Do the windows face outside? »
* Cody nods, "Like there's something unsettling about the whole place..."
<GMStoren> « There IS no outside. :) »
<Niki> I'll say, this place sucks.
* Rachel blinks a bit and looks at the stairway, murmuring softly.. "...something dark.."
<GMStoren> You see nothing through the windows except darkness.
* Roric throws rocks at the windows.
<Niki> We can leave now if you want. ^_^
* Chrys rolls his eyes. .oO(Duh, it's a DARK shrine...)
<Rachel> Sorry, Niki...but the sooner we're done here, the sooner we go...
<Rachel> <<Sigh. ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys is such a jerk ^^ »
<GMStoren> Roric's rock makes a small crack in the anicent glass. But it doesn't break, only buckle slightly.
<Roric> Hmm.
* Chrys looks ath the debris.
<Niki> Well lets hurry up then. 
<Roric> Damn windows.
<Cody> Let's get this over with...
* Rachel shakes her head and heads for the stairs...
* Cody heads up the stairs.
* Roric throws another rock, harder this time, then shrugs and follows.
* Chrys heads up the stairs after the lovebirds. 9_9
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! I see it now, mister jealousy! ;) »
* Tori makes his way up the stairs after the others.
* Niki looks at Keylia. "Come on, lets go."
* Rahne trudges up behind the rest.. *
<Rachel> <<Wah.>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Right.. not used to elading people like this. ;)
<Cody> Hey Rachel? Can I ask for a favor?
* Chrys looks back at Rahne and sighs, continuing up the stairs.
<Roric> Screw. Let's find somethin' ta break.
<Rachel> Mm?
<GMStoren> Niki gets led upstairs.
<Niki> Well you promised.
* Rachel blinks and looks at Cody.

<Cody> When you seal the seed and all that...if I go into one of those trances again...don't...uh...disturb me. I want to see what happens if no one touches me.
<Roric> «ooc: Wow, this avalon art is...hot. O_o »
<Cody> Unless I start growing fur or something. Then you can wake me up. ^^;
<Rachel> Alright...but if you stay in it too long, I'll snap you out of it. We do wanna leave here sometimes.
<GMStoren> This area is a lot more well lit, if you coudl say that. The dark atmosphere remains, as the walls begins to take on a very runic motif.
<Rachel> <<-s>>
* Cody laughs, "Understood."
* Rahne 's ears flinch.. *
* Roric keeps a look out for movement.
<Cody> «ooc: Oooh. I didn't even realize :o »
* Rachel winks at Cody before looking ahead....
<GMStoren> The cooridor goes straight ahead, as well as branching off to the left.
* Cody blinks and looks back at Rahne, suddenly realizing, "I...I didn't mean...-_-"
<Rachel> <<lol...wow...you just inadvertantly insulted Rahne. O_o>>
<GMStoren> « Hmm.. I need to cut my nails methinks.. ^^ »
<Rachel> ....left?
<Chrys> ...
<Chrys> Forward.
<Cody> I'm sorry...
<Roric> «ooc: Go Cody! »
* Rachel looks to Chrys before nodding.
* Rahne looks at Cody, the sadness in her eyes betraying her words. * It's okay, Cody..
<GMStoren> « aww :( »
<Cody> «ooc: I didn't EVEN realize too. That was so wrong ;o »
<Roric> «ooc: Suck it down, Rahne! You freak! :D Whee. »
<Rahne> << nah. ^^ >>
* Rachel heads forward.. ^^;
* Cody sighs and shakes his head, looking very guilty, "If...If you say so..."
<Roric> «ooc: Jesus, Heather. This artist is brilliant. »
* Cody follows the others.
<Rachel> <<Isn't he? ^^ And he'll do stuff for free too.>>
<Chrys> .oO(Sure it's okay. Rahne, you idiot... :\)
<GMStoren> Bypassing the branch, you advance further into what appears to be a foyer of some kind. There's a book sitting on a pedestal in the center.
<Rachel> <<LOL.>>
<Rachel> <<damn it!>>
<Rachel> ...
* Cody goes to look at the book.
<Cody> «ooc: The book EATS HIM. »
<Rachel> Cody...remember what I said about books attacking us..! ^^;
<Roric> Careful.
<Cody> Oh yeah! ^^; Er...
<Roric> Might 'ave naked pictures in it.
* Cody looks at the book in a much more cautious manner!
<GMStoren> It's open to a page number you can't make out... but you can read some words in the dim light.
* Cody tries to read the book, peering over it.
* Rachel mumbles something about the 'dark palace of smut'.
<Roric> «ooc: http://sakuratech.dhs.org/avalon/doodle04.jpg God, I love this. »
<GMStoren> "When the Eight Ringing Bells Toll, a New Cycle Begins in the River of Time."
* Chrys sighs and taps his foot.
<Roric> Wossit say?
<Cody> When the Eight Ringing Bells Toll...a New Cycle Begins in the River of Time...Elements?
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Sounds like it...
* Roric walks up, looking at this book. "Wonder if it'd be worth anythin'."
<GMStoren> Keylia puts a finegr to her chin in thought.
* Cody twiddles his fingers, suddenly thoughtful.
* Rachel glances at Keylia before looking to see if there's anything else of use in the room..
<GMStoren> Nothing else stands out in this place. It's very quiet.
<Cody> . o O ( A new cycle...me... )
* Roric picks up the book and flips through it.
<Chrys> ...Hello...?
* Niki looks at Keylia and holds up the light orb. "Come on, we can read it all with this."
<GMStoren> A few empty bookshelves catch your eye.. ^^
<Chrys> Can we get on with it...?
* Cody walks to the bookshelves, "Hold on a moment, Chrys."
* Chrys sighs. -_-;
<Cody> «ooc: We all know it's the DOOR that holds the CPU, peoples! »
* Rachel shakes her head and looks at Chrys before looking back down where they came...
<GMStoren> Roric finds he can't read anything put those two pages. In fact, the ones ahead of them are blank!
<Roric> Huh.
<GMStoren> « er but »
* Roric shrugs and sticks the book in his pack.
*** Chriswizard (Cwizard59@acab034f.ipt.aol.com) has joined #pureland
* Cody checks the bookshelves for any switches or anything. ^^;
<Cody> . o O ( ...Maybe I read too many mystery novels... )
* Rahne peruses.. *
<Chrys> .oO(Yeah, like you can boss me around. Just because you're a fucking tree or something, doesn't mean you run my life...)
* Chrys looks around for, gee, other exits.
<Cody> «ooc: Man, you ARE jealous! ;) »
* Roric winces and touches a hand to his stomach.
<Chrys> «ooc: Basically. ;) He's jealous AND he thinks you're an ass. »
* Niki waits next to Keylia while the others do all the work. ;)
<Rachel> ...mm.
<Chrys> ...Ror? You alright?
<GMStoren> Nothing out of the ordinary. It seems this library was cleaned out ages ago.
* Rachel turns and heads back the way they came a little..
<Cody> «ooc: He didn't do anything ASSY though. O_o »
<Chrys> «ooc: He ignored Rahne for a good part of last session! :O »
<Cody> There's nothing here...time to go...
<Chrys> ...
<Cody> «ooc: OH BULLSHIT O_o He tried to comfort her! »
<Roric> *grins harshly* Still a mite beat up from me little scrap wit' th'twin.
<Chrys> Even I can be wrong sometimes.
* Cody follows the others.
* Chrys offers to help Roric.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, you did great Ror. Suck it in. ;)
* Roric holds up a hand. "Nah, I'm good. Thanks, tho'."
* Rahne trails after.. *
<Roric> «ooc: http://sakuratech.dhs.org/avalon/alanhelene_sm_concept.jpg The FUCK!? »
* Cody follows behind Rahne, looking at her in concern.
<Niki> You all suck...and yoru taking to long.
<Niki> «ooc: your even. »
* Rachel leads the group back to the left branch, heading down it instead...
<Roric> «ooc: I'm sorry, but Helene as a dominatrix is just weird. »
<Roric> Feel free t'go on ahead, bitch kitten. Bit dark though.
<Cody> Rahne...are you sure you're okay? I mean...all things considered...
<Rachel> <<...bitch kitten. Hee. I left that out of the nickname count yesterday.>>
* Chrys keeps going
<GMStoren> You start to retrace your steps down the branch, and find some more stairs leading farther upwards.
* Roric follows along.
<Cody> Because you know you can talk to me anytime... 
* Rahne looks at Cody for a moment, before averting her eyes downwards.. * ..All things considered, I suppose..
* Niki once again follows with Keylia.
* Rachel shrugs a bit and heads up the stairs now..
<Cody> I'm worried about you...
* Chrys looks at Cody and blinks.
<Rahne> I-I don't think I can..  I...
<Cody> Of course you can. Anytime. ^^ I'm always here.
* Roric frowns, noticing Rahne's behaviour, though out of earshot.
<GMStoren> Up on the next level you come out in a very narrow corridor. It seems up ahead it leads to a wide chamber. ^^
<Chrys> .oO(Maybe I am treating the kid harsh... "Doesn't stop the fact that you're more jealous than bull elk." Shut up.)
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-=- Chapter 21: In the Darkness' Depths | Loc: Dark Palace, 3F | Time: Salamando's Day, Daytime | 1349 Luc -=-'
* Chrys continues forward.
<Rahne> But you've got so much other stuff to worry about..  I don't want to..  ..intrude on anything..
* Rachel stays on her guard....keeping tabs on every member of the group....
<Cody> You wouldn't be. Please, know you can always talk to me.
<Roric> «ooc: Someone smack Cody. ^_~ »
<Rachel> <<Hey, it's a free country, my fuzzy boytoy can talk to whomever he wishes! ;)>>
<GMStoren> This place has a few overturned pews, facing an alter of sme kind. A small statue of the Mana Goddess sits on it, dusty and forgotten. It's very quiet, but you hear something akin to chanting up above you.
<Rahne> ..You're always so busy though..  so many other people want to talk to you..
* Tori looks around.
<Tori> Cozy.
<Rachel> ...?
* Rachel blinks and looks up...
* Cody blinks and looks up
<Cody> «ooc: gah, brb. »
<Rachel> <<lol ;P>>
* Roric looks up.
* Chrys pays more attention to the statue.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Tori's got the right idea. ;)
* Rahne slowly looks over the room.. *
<Cody> Ugh...That creepy feeling is even stronger here.
<Rachel> You guys have really weird decorating tastes, then. ^_-
* Roric shrugs and leans against the wall.
* Chrys examines the statue, trying to remove some of the dust from it.
* Rachel nods a little to Cody before looking to the statue...
<Cody> «ooc: The statue frisks Chrys in a thank you gesture! »
* Tori watches Chrys "You should leave it..being forgotten suits her better."
<Niki> «ooc: <Statue> 100 silver donation please. It'll soothe all your wounds. »
<GMStoren> Chrys brushes off the coating, revealing a very beautiful icon made of black stone.
* Cody looks at Tori for a moment.
* Roric chuckles at Tori.
<Chrys> ...Screw you, Tori. It's something I agree about, I'm not letting it pass...eh? What's this?
* Rachel looks for any place to exit...
* Chrys examines the stone.
<Roric> «ooc: How big is it? »
<GMStoren> It's a lot like the obsidian you found near the volcano in Kakkara...
<Niki> Watch as the ceiling falls on his stupid hair for messing with it.  That would be cool.
<GMStoren> « About.. oh.. an arm or so? »
* Chrys hms and picks it up, now completely ignoring the rest of the party.
<Cody> . o O ( Forgotten, huh...? )
<Roric> Suppose th'thin's too 'eavy ta steal?
<Rachel> .....
* Rachel furrows her brow..
<GMStoren> Chrys finds it's pretty heavy to lift properly
* Cody looks around for anyplace to stick the stone in.
<Rachel> <<...>>
<Rachel> <<*snicker*>>
<Cody> «ooc: Oh blah. ^^ »
* Chrys hurfs and picks it up before almost dropping it on his foot.
<Roric> Looks like. Piss.
* Chrys sets it down semi-softly on the ground.
<GMStoren> However, once he manages to lift it off of it's resting place, the alter begins to slide aside.
<Chrys> Uh...
* Cody , standing right near the alter, jumps back! O_o
* Rachel drums her fingers on her bared stomach...and blinks. ^^;
<Roric> 'Ey, that worked.
<Rahne> !?
<Rachel> Nice.
<Chrys> Thanks.
<Chrys> .oO(I think.)
<GMStoren> It's really dark through the opening behind it. :o
<Niki> Aww, I was hoping the ceiling would fall on him.
<Rachel> <<LOL.>>
<Roric> 'Ey Niki, wanna scout ahead?
<Rachel> <<That was so cute, Storen :o>>
<GMStoren> « Hmm ^^ »
* Cody gulps, "It's through here..."
* Rachel shakes her head and scouts ahead instead.
* Niki sweatdrops. "Umm....no thanks, I'll pass."
* Cody follows behind Rachel, dissapearing into the darkness.
<GMStoren> You seem to hear that sound coming from this direction.
<Niki> Do we really have to go in there too?  ^^;
<GMStoren> « ack.. one sec.. »
<Chrys> Yes.
* Chrys steps in. "Come ON, hoseheads.
<GMStoren> « false alarm. Just sis. :) »
* Roric snickers and follows behind, but his casual demeanor becomes more serious as he enters the runnel.
<Rachel> <<* Rachel falls to her death! Cody does too! The rest blink and shrug before heading off to get something to eat.>>
* Rahne follows.. *
<Rachel> ....
<Cody> . o O ( I can't see anything...! )
<Niki> «ooc: * Chrys jumps down to his death too cuz he was jealous. »
* Cody would grope his way through, but knowing murphy's law, he'd probably grab a private part, so he resists.
* Roric reaches his arms out to touch the wall on either side.
<Chrys> «ooc: .oO(HOW DARE THEY DIE WITHOUT MEeeeeesplat) »
<GMStoren> You can't really make out anything here at all... there is no light. The only thing shinging is Niki's light ball.
<Rachel> <<lol ;)>>
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Oh gez.. magical darkness. :P
<GMStoren> Keylia looks around...
<Rachel> Can you do anything 'bout it, Key?
* Cody stumbles a bit.
<Niki> heh, this thing rocks. ^_^
<Roric> Damn. It's darker than an elephant's asshole in 'ere.
<Cody> Hmm...
* Rachel steadies Cody with a hand.
<Rachel> <<...pleasant, Ror ;)>>
<GMStoren> « lol Ror ^^ »
<Cody> Who...? ^^;
<Chrys> ...You'd...know, Roric?
<Rachel> It's just me. 
<Roric> «ooc: Let's grab Niki's ball and run. :D »
<Cody> Oh...Okay.. ^^;
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Tori> *m* Mess about with the goddess, get cast into impenetrable darkness....very fitting.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] This'd be a lot easier if we had Wisp...
* Cody gets an idea, and tries to do that magical vitae soul glowing thing with his hands, wondering if it'd produce any light
<Rachel> ...but we don't. ^^;  Figures....
* Roric seems content to forge ahead behind Rachel, since she'll die first if something bad happens.
* Niki looks at Keylia. "Can't you make a hundred of these things or something?"
<Rachel> <<Indeed. :o>>
<GMStoren> >> Cody casts Viate Soul, his hands aglow. he also is healed to max HP.
<Cody> «ooc: But did it make enough light? :O »
<GMStoren> In the faint aura-light, you can make out a path over a large pit.
<Roric> ...hm.
<Chrys> ...Oh, pleasant.
<Roric> 'At's gonna be 'ard t'jump in th'dark.
<Rachel> .. O_o Great.
* Cody keeps quiet, focusing on keeping his aura aglow.
<GMStoren> It's evry convoluted.. and who knows what is in that even deeper darkness below..
* Roric kneels to pick up a rock and flicks it into the pit, listening for the sound of it hitting the bottom.
* Rahne piques her ears.. *
<Rachel> ....well...I guess we have to go this way.... I'll go first...that way if I go splat, you guys can find another way. ^^;
<Cody> . . . .I...I can't hold this forever. Hurry you guys...
<GMStoren> The rock falls into the pit. Roric doesn't hear any echo until much much later.
<Roric> «ooc: *piques his nose* »
* Rachel shakes her head and heads up the rather...unsteady looking...path.
* Cody continues to make his way across.
<Niki> If you go splat then I'm leaving.
<Roric> Hmm.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Just walk very slowly, everyone.
* Chrys walks across the path, right behind Rachel and Cody, but not TOO close.
* Roric goes behind Chrys.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] No funny stuff and we'll be fine.. ;)
<Cody> . o O ( I've never held this spell for so long...I hope it'll be enough... )
<Roric> «ooc: Cody and Rachel start elbowing each other and giggling. »
* Niki looks at Keylia. "We'll go last." ^^;
<Rachel> Guess that means no tickling matches..
<GMStoren> Cody inches ahead, his mind straining to keep his spell going. His foot occasionally scrapes the edge, but his stays fairly on course.
<GMStoren> « er he »
* Cody begins to sweat a bit, obviously straining.
<Roric> «ooc: It'd be funny if this used all Cody's MP »
* Rachel follows behind Cody within grabbing distance...
<Roric> «ooc: BTW, am I full HP or less? »
<Cody> «ooc: I'd be pissed if it did :D »
<GMStoren> You all apparently move in a very zig-zagging pattern across safely, minus Niki and Keylia. The light shows a door ahead of you.
<GMStoren> « Ror's at full I believe :) »
<Cody> «ooc: Then I'd just eat a faerie wallnut :D Ha! »
<Roric> «ooc: In WARPG it would, Lucca. »
<Rachel> ...? Key? Niki? ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: We have faerie walnuts? »
<Cody> «ooc: One, right? »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Ok, you ready short stuff? ;)
<GMStoren> « one yes. »
<Niki> One sec.
<Roric> «ooc: Rhiana is with us, correct? »
* Rachel pats Cody gently on the shoulder. "Good job."
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe. And Rhiana is away too! It's MINE!...well, unless someone else eats it. »
* Cody falls to his knees for a moment, catching his breath, "T...Thanks."
* Niki climbs up on Keylia's shoulders and holds the light orb above Keylia's head.
<GMStoren> Keylia staggers a minute, looking up. "hey, warn me okay?"
<Niki> We can go now.  ^^;
* Rachel keeps an eye on Cody but also on Niki and Keylia...
<GMStoren> The elven mercenary traverses the the gap one step at a time, holding tightly onto Niki.
* Niki shines the way ahead with the orb while Keylia does this.
* Cody recomposes himself and stands, wiping the sweat off his brow.
<GMStoren> She hits the final leg, and grins proudly and then makes a wrong step for a secon, wobbling. o_O
<Rachel> ...Key..!
<Cody> Keylia!
<Niki> H..hey!
<Niki> Whoa...O_o
<Chrys> Key! O_o
* Rachel steps forward, about to rush forward and grab them... ^^;
* Roric steps forward, going back into the path to help steady her.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Oh, boy... Niki you ruin my sense of balance... ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: Roric and Rachel bump into each other and fall to their deaths! »
<Rachel> <<LOL ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ Yay »
* Rachel blinks as Roric brushes past her. ^^;
<GMStoren> Keylia shimmys to the side and Roric helps her to safety.
<Roric> You okay there, Key?
* Roric carefully helps her to safe land.
* Rachel looks relieved that Key is okay. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Ah, nothing like staring death in the face to make you feel alive!... but thanks Roric. ^^
<Roric> No prob, hon.
* Cody phews. ^^;
* Niki gets goosebumps and shivers a little now.
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm. Need to make dinner really bad. Hmm...but something might be coming up. Doh doh doh »
<Rachel> Right. ^^;
<Rachel> Let's go, eh? ^_-
<GMStoren> « It's absically fight time more or less.. need a big break? ^^ »
* Cody nods, "Yeah...I'm sure the seed is beyond ...that door!"
<Roric> «ooc: No go past 12 tonight. >_< »
* Cody gets a mock dramatic tone in his voice. ^^
<Cody> «ooc: no. »
<Cody> «ooc: go ahead ;) »
<GMStoren> « alrightly :) »
<Rachel> ....Cody...don't quit your day job. 
<Cody> ...Am I really that bad an actor? ^^;
* Rachel heads for the door... "No comment!"
<Chrys> ...Yes.
<Cody> ...Feh.
* Cody follows Rachel, quiet now.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Hey, we're all overly dramatic now and then.. it comes with the territory.
* Chrys sighs and opens the door. "I want to go home..."
<Cody> (w to Chrys) So do I, but I can't. So stop whining, all right?
<GMStoren> Keylia heads to the door, ducking, since Niki is still on her shoulders.
* Niki slowly climbs off of Keylia's shoulders.
<Cody> «ooc: Yay :D You made him mad at you :D »
<Niki> «ooc: Doh. ^^; »
<GMStoren> « whoops. :) »
<Rachel> << ^^; >>
<Niki> «ooc: Transpose them. :) »

* Chrys growls and comes this close to belting Cody again.
* Rahne 's ears fold back as she quietly trails along.. *
<Cody> (w to Chrys) You've been whining since we've gotten here. I know you dislike me, and want to go, but just TRY to act...I don't know, somewhat pleasant? For Rahne's sake?
<Rachel> <<.....fist fight. I know it!>>
<Chrys> For...
<GMStoren> You make your way out of the dark chamebr into a much more well lit area. In fact, judging by the layout, it's exactly like all the other Mana Palaces's Stage rooms. The seed of Darkness slowly levitates in the air above it's stand, casting the darkness about you.
<Rachel> ......
* Chrys sighs. "You're right, Cody. I'm being a fuckhead, aren't I?
<Roric> Hey, that wasn't so 'ard.
<GMStoren> In front of it you see a pair of two glowing blue eyes.
* Rahne speaks up quietly.. * ...It's okay, Cody..
<Rachel> ....jinxed it, Ror.
<Cody> It's okay...-_-; I'm not being very pleasnt either...But ah... ^^; Seed...we'll have to talk later. Bad timing. -_-;
* Rachel levels the sword towards the eyes....
<Chrys> ...Uh. Now not time to apologize. Now time to...not get eaten, I hope. ^^;
<GMStoren> [Voice] So... you have come to seek Shade's wisdom?
<Rachel> .....yes. 
<Chrys> Yeah, we have.
* Cody nods.
<Rachel> <<And to have raunchy sex. But that can wait.>>
<Niki> «ooc: No unfing the seed! »
<Rahne> ..His Wisdom?  Only if he wishes to offer it..
<Roric> Sure, why not.
<Roric> 'Ey Shade, make with th'wisdom.
<GMStoren> [Voice] You are not like the others who have come before.
* Rachel shivers softly...
<Rachel> . o O (...I really wish fighting my double had given me more...clothes.)
<Chrys> ...Of course we aren't. We're different.
* Cody doesn't say anything.
<GMStoren> Slowly the eyes take on a definite shape. A vaguely female figure make of inky blackness, shifting and changing. In her ethereal hand she holds a spear of midnight blue.
<Roric> «ooc: Can't she just buy more clothes? »
* Rachel blinks a few times.
<Cody> «ooc: Cody is so ready to give her his shawl! Just ask, baby! »
*** Windstar (Windstar@cs2716-211.austin.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving)
<Cody> ...I take it you're going to test us?
<Rachel> <<Pfft. She'd still stay in the same clothes.. :o It's like the law of gaming...even when you change armor, your sprite stays the same :o>>
<GMStoren> [Voice] Nygth sees you have the Mana sword...
<Chrys> «ooc: But your sprite changed. »
* Rahne undoes the satchel containing Cody's Chocobo and sets it gently on the ground, freeing her own spear.. *
<Cody> «ooc: Nygth? »
<Cody> «ooc: It's AC! »
<GMStoren> « ack.. »
<Rachel> ...
* Rachel just nods a bit.

<Rahne> ..I tried to be gentle..

<Rachel> <<...this test is special? ^^;>>
<Roric> So, ya like gettin' whipped, eh? 
<Rachel> ....let's do this then.
* Tori draws Seraph's and cat-stretches, looking strangely happy and content despite the surroundings.
* Roric crackes his knuckles. "My kinda girl. Let's get it on, sweetcheeks."
<GMStoren> [Nyght] Nyght is not as forgiving as her sisters.
<Cody> I'm ready...!
<GMStoren> She lifts her spear aloft, and two fighters in ebon armor form in front of her!
<Roric> Awww.

<GMStoren> The two knights take a defensive position guarding the glowing Mana Angel. You will have to bust through!
* Roric takes a defensive stance.
<GMStoren> >> Boss Battle!
* Niki looks at Keylia. "Hey, lets chop her them up at the same time. I bet it would be the bestest attack ever."
<GMStoren> >> Nygth, Mana Angel of Darkness, Terminator A, B appear!
<GMStoren> [Keylia] We could try it. ;)

<GMStoren> >> Nyght takes 100 damage! terminator A & B take 122!
<GMStoren> « pretty strong that. :) »
* Rahne 's wings vanish, and she drops back to the earth, landing gracefully.. she removes her spear from her charred enemy, and withdraws.. As Rahne prepares to renew her guard, ivory white feathers begin to fall from the sky as though snow.. *
<Rhiana> «ooc: Way to go Lenneth :D »
* Cody looks at Rahne in awe. ^^;
<GMStoren> « Yay ^_^ »
<Rahne> << Kind of a shame my attack description seemed to not work at all. ^^; >>

<Rahne> << I haven't seen it. ^^;  I haven't even gotten out of town with Arngrim at the start. ^^; >>
<GMStoren> [Nyght] Come to Nyght... the lance that pierces the light eternal!
<Roric> «ooc: Weird. That's seriously EXACTLY it. »
* Cody frowns, tensing a bit.
<Rahne> << Hmm..  I'll have to make a new one then. :/ >>
<GMStoren> >> She leaps up into the sky, hurling a rain of dark spears upon the party!
<Niki> «ooc: Well its the end of the second form of it. »
<Cody> Agh--! O_o
* Rachel wideyes and tries to defend herself from the barrage!
<Roric> «ooc: Baha: ...why? »
* Rahne braces for the attack! *
* Chrys does the same thing as Rachel! ^^;;;
<Cody> «ooc: Keep it, Baha :) »
<Rhiana> This is not good.
* Cody tries to defend himself the best he can!
<Roric> «ooc: Hey, let's do the thing where everyone yells out the name of everyone being hit! »
<Chrys> «ooc: TETSUO! »
<Roric> «ooc: Cody: Rachel! Rahne! Keylia! Roric! Chrys! Tori! Niki! »
<Rahne> << Because if it's like something someone else did, it's not original of me, and therefore not very cool of me to do. :/ >>
* Niki runs behind Keylia.
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel: Cody! Keylia! Rahne! Roric! Chrys! Niki! Rhiana! »
<Rachel> <<Roric: Keylia! Chrys: Rachel! Cody: Rahne! Rachel: Cody! Tori: Rachel!>>
<Roric> «ooc: Baha, you'll never be able to come up with something original. There are no new ideas. ^_^ »

<Niki> «ooc: Keylia makes a crappy shield. ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana takes 82!
* Rachel knocks the attack away with her shield and grins wolfishly. "Nice try."
* Cody gets impaled in the shoulder by a magical spear and stumbles back, coughing up some blood...
* Roric knocks the descending spears away with a flurry of strikes. "You'll 'afta do better'n that!"
* Rahne bats the lances away! * Cody!
<Roric> «ooc: Cody had better multi-heal. :D »
<Niki> That sucked.  I need to find another hiding place next time.

<Cody> «ooc: He's gonna have to. ^^ »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Like I ENJOY being a pin cushion?!
<Cody> I'm...*cough*...Don't worry...
* Rachel blinks and looks to Cody worriedly.. "Hold it together, stud, you can heal soon!"
* Rhiana falls to a knee, "Good Lord..."
* Chrys grins and stands back up after being made a shish-kabob. "They say that which doesn't kill ya..."
<GMStoren> >> Keylia attacks Terminator A! 138 damage!
<Niki> Well I don't have a shield like the sword lady.
* Roric rubs his hands together. "Now time fer th'fun."
* Cody nods, "I'll take care of everyone...We've got to get through!"
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 3/6!
<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
* Roric shoves his hand forcefully into the ground, passing through it up to the wrist as though it were quicksand. "'Appy hour!" With a quick, fluid motion, he rises, drawing a twisting coil of green energy up with him. He claps his hands together sharply, and the light envelops him. "Ha!"
* Rachel twirls her sword a little, readying herself..
<Roric> «ooc: Aura wave self. »
<GMStoren> « heh :) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Augh, Roric IS Ronfar! O_o »
<GMStoren> >> roric casts Aura Wave.. his Charge gauge is at 4/4!

<Rachel> <<Appy hour makes me think of apple juice.. ^^;>>
<Niki> «ooc: At the same time! :D »
<Rhiana> What I wouldn't give for a Light Spell right now...
<Roric> «ooc: Mama! Want appy joos! »
<GMStoren> >> Chrys's turn.
<GMStoren> « you have the coin guys.. :) »
* Cody throws his light coin at Rhiana, "Taken care of!" ^^;
<Niki> «ooc: I wonder what would happen if I threw the light orb at them. »
* Chrys leaps forward and slashes at a Terminator!
<GMStoren> « suggestion: let Rhiana use it ;) »
* Rhiana nabs the coin, "Ah, lovely."
<Niki> «ooc: The orb? »
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys ought to use FoD on the party this battle. »
<GMStoren> « you eman the ball? I'm not sure it'd harm them really. »
<Niki> «ooc: heh. »
<Niki> «ooc: I'd be cool if it exploded. »
* Rachel shifts on her feet a bit, her skin crawling. ^^;
<Niki> «ooc: But Niki wouldn't give it up anyways, so it doesn't matter. ^^; »
<Roric> Y'okay, Rache?
<GMStoren> >> Chrys attacks Terminator A! 1: Missed! 2: 37!
* Cody coughs a bit, his shoulder oozing blood.
<Chrys> «ooc: I'd best gain some charge for that. »
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 2/4!
<Rachel> Worry about those leaking blood, Ror ^_-
<GMStoren> >> Niki's turn.
<Roric> Most o' them ain't so cute though. *coughs, getting serious* But...er...right.
<Niki> I thought we were going to beat them up together.  Oh well.  Next time. :D
* Rachel blushes just slightly and then focuses her attention on Terminator A.
<GMStoren> [Keylia] 8shrugs* I'm warming up, Niki..
* Niki runs up to the first terminator and slashes it in an upward motion. She then returns and holds Keylia's hand again.
<GMStoren> >> Niki cleaves the armor in a spot exposing an empty void within.. WHACKED! 130 damage!
<Niki> «ooc: O_o Ouch. »
<Roric> «ooc: Hopefully these guys won't die TOO fast. ^_^ »
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 1/4!
<GMStoren> « No.. but they hit very Hard ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Cody's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: Wow, FoD could actually be really good this fight. »
<Roric> «ooc: I wanted to fight a giant slime that squooshes everyone into the corners of the room though. ;_; »
<Chrys> «ooc: Yes, Food would be good. »
* Cody groans softly, standing upright, "Enough of this...we're getting through...!"
* Cody curls his hands together, and slowly unfurls them upwards, cupping his hands to the sky.
<GMStoren> « That's later.. Evil Wall is in my game ;) »
<Cody> To mother's smile and mother's sorrow, like rain and tears to life and joy. I give now my heart and love, to that strength that is within, and beyond me, from me, to you, to us, to all.
* Cody opens his hands, and a pulsing globe of soft green light opens like a flower, releasing pollen and glimmer into the air. It whirls about and whispers of precious things, bringing back both strength and renewed courage to all it touches.
<Roric> «ooc: The slimes are cooler than the walls. »
<GMStoren> >> Cody wide casts Vitae Soul upon his allies! :D
<Roric> «ooc: Cody has cool poses. »
<Chrys> «ooc: That's because Lucca has DNW make them, Roric. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Nobody else does :p »
<Cody> «ooc: He helps :) can't take the credit :) »
<GMStoren> >> The group regains 50 Hp each...
* Chrys gets healthy!
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Keep it up Cody, we'll hack through them yet!
* Rhiana stands up, "Good work Cody..."
* Cody nods, his shoulder no longer oozing blood, "Right..."
* Rachel feels better but still looks a bit scruffy from the last battle ^_-
<GMStoren> >> The Terminators set their empty eyes on the group, spinning their wicked maces...
<Roric> C'mon, ya tin suits.
* Rachel whispers, raising her shield.. "Bring it on..."
<GMStoren> >> Terminator A attacks Rachel! 99 damage!
* Rachel stumbles back!
<Chrys> O_o That looked like it hurt... you okay?
* Cody looks to Rachel in concern.
<GMStoren> >> The seocnd one crushes it's wepaon into Roric's skull for his impudence... 112!
<Cody> «ooc: OW O_o »
* Rachel winces and nods just a bit, some blood coming from her sword arm. "Yeah. I'm alright....watch it, Ror..!!"
<Niki> That sounded like it hurt.  Woosh, woosh, woosh, SMASH!
* Roric raises his weapon to parry, but is knocked backwards by the sheer force of the blow.
<Roric> Augh!
* Roric falls backwards, clutching his head.
<Roric> Dammit.
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
<Cody> Hang in there, Roric...
<Rachel> .....
<Rachel> The screams of the tortured, those left to die by love and hope, echo strongly in the walls of this mind, memories of a tortured existence...death, life, rebirth...eventually it all ends. For some, it just ends sooner.
<Roric> No...worries....nngh.
* Rachel 's aura flares out suddenly, the green edged with white, and her eyes snap open to gaze upon Terminator A with a look of chilling judgement. Her voice holds a low, mocking note. "¤Sadistic Whisper." Rachel lunges forward, the sword shining with fiery light as she attacks Terminator A viciously!
<Roric> «ooc: Rachel: GOTH POETRY ATTACK! »
<Roric> «ooc: Hehe. Actually SW is pretty cool. »
<Rachel> <<Yay. ^^; I tried to make it so you wouldn't make fun of it ;)>>
<Roric> «ooc: That's why I did. :D »
<Rachel> <<Damn you :o>>
<GMStoren> >> Rachel casts Sadistic Whisper! She tears the living armor cleanly in two! 180 damage!
<Rachel> ....
<GMStoren> >> Terminator A vanishes t the fllor in a clatter of metal.
<Roric> «ooc: Aww, died that fast? I was gonna Gemma Tear the lot of 'em. ^_~ Ah well. »
* Rachel twirls her sword and growls. "Mess with my friends, you die."
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana's turn.
* Roric staggers to his feet. "Strewth...I need...a drink."
<Chrys> ...
<Cody> «ooc: still two left, though »
* Rhiana grins darkly, "Game over, boys."
<GMStoren> « well don't count them out just yet. :) »
* Rhiana tosses the Light Coin into the group and shields her eyes from the up coming flash!
<Niki> «ooc: Roric should have the SaGa Frontier Drunk state permenantly. Every battle he gets hit with a couple random status spells. »
<Roric> «ooc: Muahaha. Remind me to show you the 43-round WARPG battle sometime. »
<Cody> «ooc: 43 ROUND? »
<Chrys> «ooc: Roric, was that the Hikaru/Joseph fiasco? »
<Roric> «ooc: Yes. »
<Roric> «ooc: No. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: isn't 43 rounds a little rediculous? »
<Roric> «ooc: A little. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Something with Shane? »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana uses the Light Coin. Wisps's image fills the room with searing flash! o_O
<Roric> «ooc: It took three hours. »
<Niki> «ooc: That could have been 43, but you ran away. ;) »
* Cody closes his eyes, wincing!
* Rachel grimaces a bit as the light blinds her.
<GMStoren> [Nyght] Ugh! Nyght hates the light!
<Rachel> <<That was poetic. ^^>>
<Cody> «ooc: Indeed. :o »
* Niki covers her eyes. "Agh, too bright."

* Niki holds her axe up in the air as 11 lightning bolts strike the blade. What appears to be Niki's soul emerges from her body looks down at her body. Both body and soul begin to chant while the blade absorbs the energy around her.
<Niki> From the depths of my body I call upon my soul to aid me. Through the eternal strength of the spirits we call up on thy inner strength. From life to death, Lightning to dust. Odinson Catastrophe!
* Niki lowers the now glowing axe as the lightning dies. She takes a dashing stance and runs towards Nyght swinging her axe with all her might. As the blade hits Nyght the absorbed lightning releases an electral discharge. For a few seconds small static field can be seen around Nyght, it then disappears.
* Roric blinks.
<Niki> «ooc: Full MP burn baby! »

<GMStoren> [Keylia] For the love of...
<Niki> «ooc: Oh well, it was in character. :) »
<Cody> . o O ( I can't...I can't...I'm sorry... )
* Rachel furrows her brow a bit.
<GMStoren> [Nyght] If you fail here, there s no returning...
<Rachel> We won't fail. 
<Chrys> ...Shut up.
<Roric> «ooc: Anyhow, serves Rahne right. Damn attention-grabbing self-esteem-lacking bitch. ^_~ »
<Rahne> << Sorry. ^^; >>
<Rachel> <<sigh. ;)>>
* Rhiana sighs deeply, disturbed
<Roric> «ooc: That's okay, if all the characters were happy and nice the game would suck. »
<GMStoren> >> Nyght foregoes special manuevers, and thrusts her spear of darkness at Keylia!
<Rachel> ... Key..!!
<Roric> «ooc: problems are good. »
<Cody> Keylia...
<Rachel> . o O (She can handle it. She can. She's Keylia, Rache.)
<GMStoren> >> Keylia is caught uncharacteristically by surprise at the power.. WHACKED! 101 damage!
* Rachel wideyes.
<Rachel> ....
<Rachel> . o O (...well. Fuck.)
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Oogh.. good shot. But that's not enough..
<GMStoren> >> Cody's turn.
* Roric gets a nosebleed.
* Cody stands up, his vision swimming, "..."
* Cody curls his hands together, and slowly unfurls them upwards, cupping his hands to the sky.
<Cody> To mother's smile and mother's sorrow, like rain and tears to life and joy. I give now my heart and love, to that strength that is within, and beyond me, from me, to you, to us, to all.
* Cody opens his hands, and a pulsing globe of soft green light opens like a flower, releasing pollen and glimmer into the air. It whirls about and whispers of precious things, bringing back both strength and renewed courage to all it touches.
<GMStoren> « Roric and Rahne are down.. ^^ »
<Rhiana> «ooc: You're supposed to go blind from doing that too much Roric, not get a nosebleed »
<GMStoren> >> Cody wide casts Viate Soul! The party is invigorate for 55 HP each!
<Roric> «ooc: <Roric> .oO(I'm not really unconscious, but I'm kind of tired and they'll probably win if I lie here.) »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
* Cody is able to stand on his own two feet again, and nods to the others, "Hurry! Get her before she attacks us again!"
<Niki> Yeah, I'm gonna chop her up.
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
<GMStoren> « gack »
* Rhiana folds her arms, "I can't believe I did that to Rahne...horrible..."
<Rachel> <<* Rahne looks dead.>>
* Rahne gets a little colder.. *
<GMStoren> « hey where did my KO alias go? *blinks* »
<Niki> «ooc: End turn! ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne is down...
<GMStoren> >> Tori's turn.
<Rachel> ...let's end this...
<Roric> «ooc: It would have been funny if everyone cast attack spells just to beat on Rahne. »
<Rahne> << Hehe! ^^; >>
<Tori> <<Is Rahne's spell negated while she's KO'd?>>
<Roric> «ooc: That spell is SO powerful against healer enemies, though. »
<GMStoren> « Itw as only till she actioned again really »
<Rahne> << I would suspect as much, yes. ^^ >>
<Rhiana> So I can't cast magic?
<Rahne> << You can now. ^^ >>
* Tori *¤*\ In a blurred motion, draws and fires at Nyght - Justice, faster then the eye can see- SnapJudgement!/*¤*
<Rachel> ....you can now.
* Cody looks at Rahne's body in concern, feeling horrible...-_-;
<Rhiana> ...wish I would have known that about 5 minutes ago.
<Roric> «ooc: Rhiana's second fireball also hits Rahne! Rahne's dead body catches on fire! »
<GMStoren> >> Snap Judgement.. Nyght gets a bulelt, wincing and beginning to flicker... 66 damage!
<Rachel> <<LOL. ^^;>>
<Rahne> << Yay!  Smouldering fun for me! >>
<Tori> I'm sorry Rahne..that's all I can do for you...
<Niki> «ooc: <Rhiana> I thought you said I could now? <Rachel> Umm...oops. .oO( Mwahahaha, now Cody is all mine! ) »
<Rachel> <<*kicks Niki to death*>>
<Niki> «ooc: ^_- »
<Cody> «ooc: LOLs at DA »
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Cody> «ooc: Drew cosner rocks ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Nyght again charges, aiming for Tori with a deft spirit piercing attack
<GMStoren> >> 120 damage!
<GMStoren> « ouch. ^^ »

<Cody> «ooc: Someone kill Nyght quick or I cry. :p »
* Tori staggers back a few feet.
<Rhiana> «ooc: I tried last round, but I ended up making a Fox Girl BBQ instead »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Come on... you call yourself a servant of Mana? Take a real one on!
* Cody blinkblinks at Keylia, "Uh..."
<GMStoren> >> Keylia attacks Nyght with her blade... 134 damage!
* Rachel glances at Keylia.
<GMStoren> >> Roric is down...
<GMStoren> >> Chrys's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: If Reaver ever upgrades, it should be called Christopher Reaver. »
<Rachel> <<So slow... :o>>
* Chrys grins, fully expecting to get killed for this, but...

<GMStoren> Keylia apparently is quite focused for once... she doesn't notice Cody's comment, exchanging blows up close with the spirit.
<Niki> «ooc: * Chrys uNF's Rahne's dead body »
<Niki> «ooc: * Cody kills Chrys. ^_^ »
<Roric> «ooc: I wouldn't call "Uh" a comment. ^%_~ »

<Chrys> «ooc: I leaped over their dead bodies ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Chrys attacks Nyght! 1: 47! 2: 54!
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 2/4!
<Roric> «ooc: Wow. Chrys is almost as strong as Keylia. O_o »
<GMStoren> « Keylia is not as strong as you think as you get more powerful :) »
<GMStoren> « she has harsh weapon level restrcition for one. »
<GMStoren> >> Niki's turn.
* Niki starts running towards Nyght, not stopping. As she passing her by, she stops and turns around slashing at her back.
<Niki> «ooc: Er...passes even. »
<Niki> «ooc: Not passing. ^^; »
* Chrys is, unfortunately, well out of harm's way when Niki does this.
<GMStoren> >> Nyght is ganged up on by Keylia and Chrys, and has no time to guard her flank.. Niki strikes her easily. 118!
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 2/4!
<Niki> «ooc: Wow, only 118 even with Anger Oil. Damn. »
<Cody> She's strong...
<GMStoren> She reels back, dropping the glowing spear, and hunching over...
<GMStoren> [Nyght] Ugh.. Nyght can fight no more...
<Rachel> <<Damn it!>>
<Cody> But...not strong enough..
* Cody grins. ^^
<Rachel> <<Damn! Damn it!>>
<Cody> «ooc: what? ^_- »
<Niki> «ooc: Mwahahaha, I get the last attack! ;) »
<GMStoren> « the oil did it I think :) »
<Rachel> <<Rrr! I hate being slow. ^^;>>
<Niki> «ooc: Cool. »
<GMStoren> >> The party is victorious!
* Rachel doesn't relax her guard, glaring hatefully at Nyght..
<Niki> «ooc: Good thing I used it. :D »
<GMStoren> >> All members defeated revive with 1 HP!
<Chrys> ...Rachel, Mana seed. Now, please.
<Roric> Ngh.
<Rachel> ....
<Cody> Remember Rachel...if I space out...
<GMStoren> >> The party gains 155 xp!
* Rhiana sighs and walks over to Rahne to help her up, "I'm very sorry Rahne...I didn't know that was going to happen."
<Cody> Before you go to the seed, can I make sure everyone is okay, first? ^^:
<Rachel> Yes.
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys is stronger than Niki. O_o That two-attack thing is so broken, Storen. ^_~ »
* Cody goes and helps Roric and Rahne to their feet.
* Tori , painfully, rises from his doubled over position..and starts to laugh, kind of creepily...
<Niki> «ooc: Roric, your on crack. »
<GMStoren> « Hmm ^^; »
* Roric stands up, looking around and wiping blood from his cheek.
<GMStoren> « Not later on it isn't. »
* Rachel sheathes the sword hard and looks at Tori...
* Rahne sits up slowly.. coughing out a little cloud of ash.. * It's okay, ..Rhiana...
<Tori> How many angels can dance on the edge of an axe?
<Tori> One.
<Roric> «ooc: Niki did 118 with AP boost. Chrys did 100 without. »
<Roric> «ooc: Tori rules. »
* Cody looks at Tori for a moment, rather creeped out.
<Niki> No one dances on my axe.  I'll chop em all up. ^_^
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<Rhiana> No, it's not okay...I hurt you.
<Roric> Well, now I'm just pissed off.
* Tori chuckles some more and then doubles over again, holding his chest.
<Cody> ...Er...anyway Rachel. Go ahead.
* Rachel checks her own wounds for a moment..
* Roric coughs and touches his stomach again.
<GMStoren> [Nyght] You win rights to the seed... you all are very strong.
<Rachel> Sure thing.
<Rachel> ...
<Roric> So what's in that stupid book, anyway?
<Niki> Hey, I thought I chopped you up.  Guess I need to finish the job.
* Rachel glares at Nyght and heads to the seed.
* Cody looks up at Rachel, ready.
* Rahne rubs her temple as she slowly gets to her feet.. * No.. maybe I shouldn't have cast that spell.. I didn't stop to think that you relied so heavily upon your arcane skill..
<GMStoren> [Nyght] Ask master Shade, Gemma Knight...
<Rachel> . o O (Go touch the seed, Rache. Go ahead, Rache. It's alright, Rache, people just died, go fondle the fucking seed. Cripes. Gah, shut up and just do your thing, Mana Knight.)
<Roric> «ooc: People died? »
* Rachel draws her sword once more and lays it beside the seed.
<Rhiana> Just let me know the next time you do that
<Chrys> «ooc: Joch Itch did »
<Rachel> <<Whatever. Unconscious. Whatever.>>
<Roric> «ooc: Rahne: I'm sorry...it didn't occur to me beforehand that you're a pansyass nwho can't do anything without spells. »
<Rhiana> Please...I don't want to hurt you again...
<GMStoren> A black entity appears above your heads, looking at rachel through a singular eye cloaked in black wings.
* Cody 's eyes begin to go vacant, and his posture slackens. He drops his staff and stares foward blankly.
<Rachel> ....
* Niki notices this new being. "What, another one?"
* Niki heads towards Shade to cleave it.
* Roric gives Nyght a dirty look, then folds his arms and looks up at the elemental. "Ey, Shade."
<GMStoren> The seed glows once in a contrasting energy to the darkness without, and slips gnelty into it's resting place. Cody begins to feel a surge of energy...
* Rachel shudders softly..
<Chrys> ....
* Cody fully slips into his usual trance.
* Chrys watches Cody like a lab experiment.
<Cody> «ooc: Chrys: ...Stick some drugs into him and see if he runs around his little wheel again! »
<GMStoren> [Shade] I don't grant my presence to many, but you desrve it. It seems you even bested my servants and lvied to tell the tale... you truly are the ones with that power over fate.
* Rahne feels a little woozy.. * You did what you thought was best.. no one can fault you for that..
* Rachel raises the sword to stare at the blade, looking at her reflection in it....she then sheathes it easily... "...thank you. I think."
* Rahne realizes now what Cody's doing.. * Oh no.. Cody..
<Chrys> Rahne...no. He's already told you he wants us to leave him alone this time.
* Rhiana folds her arms, not too pleased with her performance
* Niki appears behind Shade. "Ah ha! I got you now!"
* Rahne looks down.. * I know.. -_-
<GMStoren> Shade flickers and disappears before Niki can hit him.
* Niki swings her axe, spinning around as Shade teleports away.
<Cody> . . . . .
<GMStoren> [Shade] Little one, you are of the dark path now... do you not see it yet?
<Niki> Hey, come back here.
<Rachel> .....Niki....Shade is a..."friend".
<Cody> «ooc: Shade: You will become a serial killer? Do you not see it yet? :O »
<Roric> ...so. Nice place ya got 'ere. Time we got goin', though.
<GMStoren> Shade reappears by the rather broken Nyght. ^^
<Roric> «ooc: Aww. I wanted the book. ;_; »
* Rhiana looks up at Shade, "The Mana Spirit of Darkness makes an appearance."
<Niki> He is.  So I don't need to chop it up.  Oh well.
* Rachel sighs and heads back to the group, keeping an eye on Cody...
* Chrys looks at Rahne, then at Cody again. "Don't worry, Rahne...he'll be fine. If something happens, we'll know..."
* Cody remains in his trance.
<GMStoren> [Shade] If you were wondering about the tome, it contains the history of this entire world... no mere mortals can read it for what it truly is.
* Niki then looks back to Shade. "No way, dark sucks. Its why I went through that light mirror." ^_^
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Umm, Niki...
<Rachel> ....yeah, someone should tell her. ;P
<Niki> And then I chopped up that copy of me and stole its light powers. :D

<Cody> «ooc: http://www.thegia.com/fritz/qu/images/ujlemia.jpg <-- Snigger »
<Chrys> «ooc: lol lol »
* Rachel then quietly heads to Key's side, checking out her wounds...
<Niki> «ooc: Agh, not that pic! »
<GMStoren> [Shade] If you seek power, you are already on my path. You cannot change that.
<Rachel> <<lol...scary shit.>>
<Cody> . . . 
<GMStoren> [Shade] And such power you will have. It is ordained as the cycle renews...
<Rhiana> I took the dark path, but I don't really care.
<GMStoren> >> Gained Shade's powers!
* Rahne watches Cody helplessly, resting on her spear.. *
<Roric> Hmm.
* Roric ponders.
* Chrys makes sure Cody's still breathing. O_o
<Niki> What are you talking about.  I already told you I didn't go dark and stuff. :P
* Cody is.
<GMStoren> something seems to snap, and Cody begins to shake violently
<Roric> Someday I'll hafta duel ya for that book, chick.
<Rachel> ....?
<Chrys> Woah! Woah!
* Cody shudders a bit, and quietly pitches foward.
* Chrys grabs Cody. "Snap out of it, boy..."
<Roric> It's just a matter o...*turns* What the 'ell!?
* Rahne gets that panicky look in her eyes again.. *
<Cody> «ooc: He gyrated! :D That's the magic! »
* Rachel turns and stares for a moment before rushing forward.. "Shit...shit... is he breathing, Chrys?"
<GMStoren> [Shade] It seems the Mana Child is not fully ready to embrace the truth.. he is still frail without the others..
<Roric> That's cute. Now fix it.
* Chrys tries to check his vitals, which is kind of hard when HE'S HAVING A BLOODY EPILEPTIC SEIZURE
<Cody> «ooc: Am I still? ^^; »
* Niki notices that she is wearing a black shirt. "Hey, when did I change clothes?"
<Rachel> <<you're supposed to put a pillow under his head. ^_^ It said so on my epilepsy calender.>>
<GMStoren> [Shade] He is in no danger. But you must gather the pair that remain or it will make no difference in the end.
<Roric> «ooc: WE ALL AHVE EPILEPSY »
* Cody stops shaking, but is still unconscious.
<GMStoren> Cody is fine, he just seems like he suffered mild shock.
* Rahne is by Cody's side, whispering quietly to herself.. * Cody.. Cody.. Cody.. Cody.. Please wake up...
<Roric> Easy fer YOU ta say 'e's in no danger.
* Rachel takes a deep breath... "Right. No more of that for him."
<Chrys> He'll be fine, Rache... He's in shock, but he'll be fine. He needs rest...
<Rachel> Alright....if we're done here...let's go.
<Roric> Sounds like a plan.
* Chrys takes the turn to repay the favor and lifts Cody up over his back, carrying him. "Come on, guys... we need to get him to Mandala or SOMEWHERE..."
<Rhiana> What's our next move anyway
<GMStoren> [Shade] The only danger is from the beyond... the power that even dwarfs mine in comparison. They seek him not for salvation, but to bring all to it's inevitable end. You cannot allow this to come to pass.
<Chrys> «ooc: It's Zophar! »
<Roric> I don't s'pose there's an easy way out? Don't fancy carryin' Cody over that pit.
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! »
<Niki> «ooc: Master of shit? »
<Roric> Yeah, yeah, Danger from beyond.
<Cody> «ooc: Zophar will come after us in his femmy outfit oh doom! Oh go, fairy man! »
<Chrys> We'll kill it. If we don't kill it, someone else will. That's the way things go. There's ALWAYS someone better than you.
* Rachel shakes her head a bit.... "Ror is right. Is there another way out of here?"
<GMStoren> [Shade] You cannot kill something that is neither alive nor dead. Chaos is eternal, and it's growing stronger. You must be wary when you reach Mount Illusia.
<Chrys> ...Chaos...?
<Niki> «ooc: LOL, Niki still doesn't know that she went through the dark mirror. :D »
<Roric> (m) Why don't YOU go to mount illusia?
<GMStoren> [Nyght] Nyght will send you back to Mandala...
<Rachel> ...
* Rachel eyes Nyght.
* Rahne nods.. * Thank you, Miss Nyght..
* Tori heavily bleeds, oh so silently, on the floor.
<Tori> *q* ow.
<Cody> «ooc: LOL »
<Chrys> ...Good. We're wasting time here... Somebody pick up Tori, please.
* Rhiana folds her arms, "I'd still like to see what is going on in Imperial lands."
<Rachel> ...
<GMStoren> The angel is still looking very weakened, appearntly ashamed she lost.
* Rachel heads to Tori and hefts him up.
<Tori> OW...ow..thanks.
<Rachel> ....up you go. Want a candy?
* Rachel waggles a candy at Tori.
<Tori> No..I think an inn'll do just as well.
<GMStoren> [Shade] The Empire. Their eyes are on you. Their hands everywhere. When you seek my light twin in the city of gold, I'm sure you willc ross paths.
<Rachel> Stubborn. Blood doesn't wash from this tunic well. You're paying my wash bills.
<Rhiana> Yeah, I know their eyes are on me..always are.
<Tori> That's the price you pay for wearing white, dear lady.
<Chrys> «ooc: Um, isn't she wearing red now? ^^; »
<Rachel> I'm not wearing white. It's light red with navy blue. God, she knocked you color blind too.. ^_-
* Rhiana snickers, "Tori picking up on the Mana Knight, I see."
* Cody remians unresponsive.
<Cody> «ooc: remains :p »
* Niki looks down a little. "Gold City....." ^^;
* Rachel scowls at Rhi. ^^;
<Tori> <<It was meant more along the lines of the alignment change ^^;>>
<Chrys> ...What? Why are we going to the Gold City? O_o
<Tori> I didn't mean your clothes, rachel.
<GMStoren> [Shade] Now, go. You waste your time here... those on my path, I will give you strength to perservere, but remember what you have sacrifice to get it.
* Chrys sounds a bit concerned.
<Niki> Yeah, lets not go to the Gold City.  It sucks. ^^;
<GMStoren> Shade vanishes.
<Rachel> Pfft. Right. Guys...we can figure this out later.....Nyght, if you may.
* Roric nods.
* Tori looks at Rachel for a second, studying her face.
<Roric> ....welp. Time ta hit the road.
<GMStoren> [Nyght] ...alright. When you return victorious, give Nyght a rematch...
* Roric gives the angel a serious look. "...count on it."
* Rachel looks intensely serious for now..
* Tori goes red and turns away.
* Niki looks at Nyght. "Want me to kick your butt again?" ^_-
<Rachel> <<lol. Cute.>>
<GMStoren> Nyght lifts the onyx spear aloft, and a ring of dark haze envelops your senses....
* Rhiana grunts, "Enough fighting."
<GMStoren> Suddenly, you're outside at the gates of Mandala!
*** Retrieving #pureland info...

* Roric tilts a bit, momentarily dazed and half-blinded from the sudden change in lighting.
* Rachel stumbles a little. ^^;
<Roric> Ugh...only way ta travel...
* Cody is seeing dark pretty much still. ^^ Hee.
* Rahne squints, feeling another rush of dizziness.. *
<GMStoren> [Keylia] She was a tough cookie, that girl.
<Roric> ...one day I'll kick 'er ass.
<Rachel> Tough isn't the word I would use...
* Chrys carries Cody into the town, not saying anything.
* Niki spins around a little and lands on her butt.
* Rachel heads after Chrys...
<Rachel> <<With Tori, of course. :o>>
* Rahne follows as best she can.. *
* Rhiana follows, not saying much
* Tori limps along with Rachel.
<Cody> «ooc: We still have 7 minutes left :D »
* Niki shows the Light Orb to Keylia. "You can have this back now."
<GMStoren> [Keylia] Thanks... you and me need to have a talk later, ok? ;)
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<Rachel> ....
<Niki> Umm...why?
* Rachel mumbles.. "I need a nice hot bath. Ow."
<GMStoren> Keylia takes it and it begins to fade into a few rays of light that sink into hands.
* Roric rubs his arm. "I could use one meself. Wanna share?"
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! »
<GMStoren> [Keylia] About what Shade said.. you didn't walk into that light mirror, girl.. ;)
<Rachel> ... O_o
* Chrys walks to the Inn, still not acknowledging the party's existance.
<Rachel> Ror...I think you get increasingly more forward with each passing day... ^^;
<Niki> Yeah I did.  I pointed to the light mirror and I walked inside.  It was easy.
* Rachel continues to follow Chrys. ^^;
<Roric> Gotta raise the bar.
<GMStoren> Keylia pats Niki's head and sighs once, heading to town.
<Rachel> It's always good to have a goal in life..
* Roric chuckles, watching them go. Finally his smile fades and he rubs the back of his neck. "Well...I'm gonna stake out the ol' campsite, folks. Good luck..."
* Rahne looks to her own house longingly, before lowering her head and following the rest to the inn... *
* Roric turns and walks in the opposite direction, his poncho swirling behind him.
* Niki shrugs not know what just really happened. She follows Keylia.
* Tori bleeds on Rachel some more.
