<GMStoren> Now let's catch some ass kicking
<GMStoren> mmkay?
<Rachel> mmkay!
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION START ~~
<GMStoren> In the center of Pandora, a huge hole has formed, sucking people, homes, everything within it's range into it like a huge gaping maw... the group is only spared it's wrath because of their distance from it, but even by the castle the vibrations shake more beams and supports losse, ramparts crumbling all around you.
<GMStoren> From the depths of the pit an evil laugh echoes...
<GMStoren> [Umber] Hahah! At last, after a millenia! The earth is mine once more!
<Chrys> «ooc: I'll be semi-playing. Don't expect any earth-shattering melodrama, just the normal battleposes. »
* Cody 's face hardens considerably, awaiting whatever comes.
<GMStoren> Out of the pit rises a towering golem, it's hands as huge as houses almost, towering oevr the scene.
<GMStoren> It's eyes glow with an eerie energy as it notices the group. "And who better to set an example for all these pathetic creatures that walk the ground..."
<Rachel> <<I bet he has a huge.....nail clipper.>>
* Rahne clutches onto her staff, her eyes glancing between the gargantuan umber, and Cody.. *
<Cody> «ooc: staff? »
<Rahne> << Err...  spear... :P >>
<GMStoren> « hee ^^ »
<Cody> Bring it on...I don't have time for this...let's finish this. now.
<Rahne> << Sorry..  good crack for me. ^^;; >>
<GMStoren> [Umber] I will crush you into dust! prepare yourselves!
* Chrys nods, drawing his daggers. "Come on, you giant cockroach."
<GMStoren> The golem burrows into the ground, and appears right by the party, knocking several building over.
<GMStoren> >> Combat!!
<Cody> «ooc: Wee :D »
<GMStoren> >> vs God Beast of the Earth, Umber!
<Roric> «ooc: Back. »
<GMStoren> « yay :) »
<Roric> «ooc: My timing is...sexy. »
<Cody> «ooc: mmmm.. »
<GMStoren> Despite it's apparent power, the beast still seems to be off balance and much slower than the others you have fought..
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
<Cody> «ooc: It's only half a man!! »
<Chrys> «ooc: BRB! »
<GMStoren> « lol »
* Rahne closes her eyes.. hesitating for a moment, uncertain if this is wise.. *
<GMStoren> « puts on big Boss Battle »
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne flees! »
* Rahne casts ¤Glacial Muse! A small spring of water appears in the air before Rahne, out of which leaps Undine! With a flick of her magical wand Undine disappears back into the fading waterfall as a huge block of ice appears above Cody's head! The ice drops down, bonking his head and splitting in two! As the two halves vanish, a lightbulb flicks into existence above him blinking on before vanishing! *
<Cody> «ooc: Yaaaay! »
<Rhiana> What horrible timing.
<GMStoren> >> Rahne casts Glacial Muse! Cody's Mind increases by 14!
* Rahne << wishes that the ice block might maybe knock a little sense into her zombie friend, too.. * ^^; >>
* Cody glances quickly to Rahne, but then rummages through his backpack and pulls something out of it.
<GMStoren> >> Tori takes aim and fires upon the Umber!
<GMStoren> >> 70 damage! Charge up 1!
<GMStoren> « wow Tor's at max o_o »
<GMStoren> >> Cody's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: Cody is faster than me. ;_; Bitch. »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^ He got a staff that boosts agil ^^ yay »
<Roric> «ooc: That fucker! »
* Cody glares at the Land Umber and pulls out what appears to be a shiny coin, with the emblem of Djinn etched on it's front, "...Out of my way..."
* Cody holds the Wind Coin in his hand, staring at it. A tiny shadowy figure emerges from the object to gaze intently at Cody. Cody whispers to the tiny creature. Explaining. Clarifying. Commanding. The tiny figure then recedes, and Cody raises the item above his head, releasing its newly released potential.
<Cody> «ooc: Yay :D »
<GMStoren> >> Cody casts Mystic force! The wind coin glows with a powerful light as it explodes into a tornado!
<GMStoren> « wow and his mind is upped.. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: THat cost me 7 MP, bitches ;_; »
<Roric> «ooc: Damn, that's cool, Lucca. »
<Cody> «ooc: This spell so kicks ass. Too bad it sucks MP like nuts to do anything really cool ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: You haven't seen the magic upping one yet ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> The Umber is slammed by the wind fullf roce, staggering, but nto slowing. Umebr hates Djinn! 403 damage!
* Cody stands unrelenting in the face of the unatural windstorm, "You'd best run now...This will only end in your defeat..."
<GMStoren> « Cody's faking RHiana ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe. I thought we bought two wind coins, Stor :( »
<Cody> «ooc: Just one? »
<GMStoren> [Umber] Hardly!
<GMStoren> « no your'e right.. you shoudl have 2. sorry. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: We bought two. »
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! »
<Chriswizard> 7/ooc IT can speak english?  O_o
<Cody> «ooc: Yes, 7/ooc. It can :D »
<Roric> «ooc: If it weren't for us all the mana beasts would be speaking German right now! »
<GMStoren> >> Niki plows into the Umebr hacking at it's stony hand. tink tink. 90 damage!
<Cody> «ooc: brb »
<Roric> This is not a good time, beast. I expect you to die quickly.
<GMStoren> [Umber] I am invicible!
<Cody> «ooc: You're a looney :D »
<Roric> Large body, small brain.
<GMStoren> >> Umebr creates a shield of earth to protect itself... Protect Up!
<Roric> «ooc: Uh, whose action is it after Niki? »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh, him. OK. »
<GMStoren> >> Vitality is maxed!
<Cody> «ooc: Gack O_o That'll have to be dispeled right fast O_o »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ... Oops >_< »
<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
<Rahne> << <Umber> I am invincible!  Invincible!  * Swats at Rahne, who holds out her spear!  The Umber impales his hand on it! * <Umber> OWWW!  They're defending themselves somehow!  >>
* Roric grinds up dried Stardust grass on his hand and spreads it on the wind. "Not impressed."
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Cody> «ooc: Hehehe »
<Roric> «ooc: Dispel his ability. »
<Cody> «ooc: Hey, cool :D »
<GMStoren> >> Roric uses a Stardust herb... the shield is cast away to the wind...
<GMStoren> >> Chrys's turn.
<Rachel> <<brb, trying to fix my é problem by restarting!>>
<GMStoren> The golem only gets more infuriated.
<Cody> «ooc: Yay! »
*** Rachel (unf@mtw227.nf.sympatico.ca) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Chrys leaps into the air, vanishing from sight as a ghostly cackle echoes through the area. "It was nice while it lasted, but now it's time to finish this... I have someone I need to save..."
* Chrys suddenly stops laughing as a single knife speeds down to embed itself in the Land Umber's spine, shortly thereafter being followed by a second knife, and a third. All three knives rip out of their target with a rush of blood, all flying back to Chrys's hand as he reappears and drops back to his previous position!
<Cody> Yes. Point. Of of my way.
<GMStoren> « backstab? »
<Cody> «ooc: out, even »
<Chrys> «ooc: Shadow Backstab, yes. »
<GMStoren> « ah n/m ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Chrys uses Shadow Backstab! With the defense down it is vulenrable, but the small knives don't seem to hurt it all that much... 204 damage!
<GMStoren> « read: high abse vitality. :) »
<Chrys> «ooc: Hurt more than Niki's axe. ;P »
<Roric> «ooc: Lunar Magic! :D »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana's turn.
<Chrys> «ooc: Tempted to. »
<Cody> «ooc: Hehe. But...but...I may lose my sexy mind ;_; »
* Rhiana holds out her arms as a green aura swirls around her, "Winds of the world, I call to you. Use your power to blow the precious gift of life giving air away from the evil that stands before me!"
* Rhiana extends her hands, "Vaccum!"
<Roric> «ooc: Jesus Christ. »
<Cody> «ooc: ? ^^ »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I Know, it's a lame chant »
<Roric> «ooc: No, no...Rahne is nutso powerful with the right combo of abilities. @_@ »
<Roric> «ooc: Provided she can keep her MP up. »
<Cody> «ooc: I know ^_^ »
* Chrys looks at Roric. "Hey... you mind readying another Stardust Herb...? It looks about time to test my luck again.."
<GMStoren> >> Vacuum is cast! The air around the Umebr is torn many different ways... 325 damage!
<GMStoren> « fairly high roll that time ^^ »
* Rhiana grunts, "I need to work on my Air Magic."
* Cody is quiet, glaring at the Land Umber with unbridled rage that's unlike him.
<GMStoren> [Umber] I shall knock you all down...!
<Chrys> «ooc: GAH! NO GARLAND »
<Cody> «ooc: That's right, Garland! KNOCK US DOWN! »
<Roric> I have heard it before.
<GMStoren> >> The Golem winds up his two huge fists and grabs Chrys in a vice of pain, rolling him up into a ball...
<Cody> «ooc: Basketball! »
*** Rachel (unf@stj125.nf.sympatico.ca) has joined #Pureland
<Rhiana> Chrysketball
*** Cody sets mode: +o Rachel
<GMStoren> >> He proceeds to throw him back to the ground and slamm into the party! o_O
<Rachel> <<Heheheheh....>>
<Roric> «ooc: Hope he hit Rhiana first. »
<Cody> Agh--!
* Rahne winces.. *
<Rhiana> ...!
<Roric> «ooc: <Rhiana> Chrysketball. See, because he grabbed Chrys, and it's like "basketball" except wi-AUGH! »
<Rachel> <<lol>>
* Chrys becomes a human bowling ball. Oww.
<Rhiana> «ooc: That's Oscar award winning stuff Ash »
<Chrys> «ooc: Look who's talking, "Chrysketball". »
<Rhiana> «ooc: ;) »
<Rhiana> «ooc: What's wrong with Chrysketball? »
<GMStoren> >> Cannonball is used! Chrys suffers 194 impact damage. Damage Report: Rahne 136, Tori 122, Cody 130, Niki 110, Roric 104, Rhiana 153
<GMStoren> « that's a fun skill ^^ »
* Rhiana is knocked down, but quickly staggers up, "Goodness....I guess we have his attention now."
* Roric falls backward, but rolls into a crouch and stands.
* Cody is thrown to the ground, hard, but quietly pulls himself to his feet, spitting up some blood from his mouth.
* Chrys pulls himself up, slowly. "Oh, yeah. It's definitely time to roll the ol' bones..."
<Rhiana> Chrys, you okay?  He musta really rung your bell
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys uses Lunar Magic! Everyone is Moogled! :D I love Lunar Magic. »
* Rahne staggers a bit, but seems okay.. *
<Chrys> I'm fine. Be more worried about everyone else.
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
* Chrys closes his eyes and starts chanting quietly.
<Roric> «ooc: Do something cool Baha. »
* Cody staggers backwards a bit, clutching his head a little bit.
<Chrys> «ooc: Ror, that's why I asked you to prepare some herbs ;) »
<Rahne> << Not really sure I have anything cool to do. ^^;; >>
<Roric> «ooc: You have some of the most powerful abilities. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: I thought you did. Or Cody. Cody has some strong ablilties too. »
* Rahne holds her spear aloft, the cloud covered skies above pierced by a single golden ray of light that shines down upon her! She cries out, her voice nearly deafened by a peal of thunder! * If this is to be my last stand, it will be mine alone! Final Benediction! * The beam widens and fades, a cascade of sunmotes showering down upon the party.. *
<Roric> «ooc: Yay! »
<Rahne> << Not sure if the troup'll be privy to Cody's healing talents or not.  Probably not..  so best to be safe. ^^; >>
<GMStoren> >> Rahne casts Final Benediction!
<Chrys> ...Rahne...
<Roric> «ooc: You should use that every major fight. ^_^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Actually they will, but techically they SHOULDN'T be ^^ »
* Cody begins to pant softly, in both exhaustion and...worry?
<GMStoren> >> Tori grits his teeth and casts Thunder Saber on the party! Weapons take on the power of Wind!
<GMStoren> >> Cody's turn.
<Roric> ...heh.
<GMStoren> « hey I'm fighting myself.. whee :p »
<Cody> Engh...I...I...
<Rachel> <<*looks evil*>>
* Cody shakes his head, and concentrates.
* 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.
<Rhiana> «ooc: What's my charge? »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Don't I have one charged up >:) »
<GMStoren> ooc yes you do..
<GMStoren> « er yes ^^ »
<Rhiana> «ooc: k »
<GMStoren> >> Cody uses Vitae Soul! The party regains 155 hp!
<Rachel> <<lol...listening to Lady Marmalade feels really wrong right now...>>
<Roric> «ooc: Dooon't. »
* Cody still pants softly, but is no longer coughing up blood. His look of anger returns.
<GMStoren> >> NIki tries to hit the beast with her Wind enchanetd axe but misses!
<GMStoren> [Umber] Enough games... let the earth consume your very spirit!
<GMStoren> >> UMber casts Stone Cloud! A huge geyser erupts over the land upon which you stand bathing the group in toxic fumes that cause skin to harden and crack...
<Rachel> <<O_o <Brother> See my thigh? It's so...sexy. *holds his thigh in front of my face and strokes it* <Me> Ooh. La. La?>>
* Rhiana attempts to throw up her aura shield
* Chrys makes the Discovery evade!
<Chrys> «ooc: er, ooc. »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! »
<Roric> «ooc: Why did you eat your aura shield in the first place? »
* Rahne holds her breath and folds her ears back, shielding her face with her hands, doing her best to resist the toxin.. *
<Rachel> <<I hate you, Chrys ;)>>
* Cody coughs harshly, trying to not breathe it in too deeply.
<GMStoren> >> Rahne, Roric and Cody are unaffected! Niki, Chrys, Tori, and Rhiana are Petrified!
* Chrys is statuesque. Whoo. :P
<Chrys> «ooc: You know Stor did this just to get rid of Niki and Tori ;) »
* Rhiana is now a work of erotic art
<Roric> «ooc: Did Chrys even act this turn? »
<Rahne> Oh no..
<GMStoren> « not yet ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: NO. »
<Roric> «ooc: He's slower than I am? »
<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
<Chrys> «ooc: And I was, ehm, supposed to. »
<GMStoren> « no.. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Yeah, I am. But both of us are faster than the Umber. »
* Cody glares at the Land Umber, "S....crew you..."
<Chrys> «ooc: Or were. »
<GMStoren> « what? »
<Roric> «ooc: Chrys is faster than it is, isn't he? »
<GMStoren> « Umebr acts on agiltiy 20 ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Then why did he act -after- us last turn? »
<Roric> «ooc: Huh, you're right. Chrys goes after me. »
<Roric> «ooc: OK. »
<Roric> «ooc: He didn't, Chrys. he has two actions. »
<GMStoren> « he acted after RHiana »
<Chrys> «ooc: ... »
<GMStoren> « because he's acting on 20 & 9 respctively :) »
* Roric uses a Medical Herb on Chrys.
<GMStoren> >> Roric uses a medicinal herb! Chrys is freed!
<GMStoren> >> Chrys's turn.
* Chrys coughs for air as the stone crumbles off. "Thanks.."
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Hey, what was Final Benediction supposed to do? »
* Chrys coughs and dusts himself off, standing and chanting quickly.
* Chrys balls his hand into a fist as it starts to glow. "Guys, don't hate me for this, but... Luna, spirit of the everchanging phases of the moon... change our luck a little."
* Chrys opens his fist, revealing a small blue poker chip engraved with the image of Luna... he grins and flips it into the air, where it explodes into rays of moonlight, bathing the battlefield in a chaotic glow!
<GMStoren> « *notices the erotic art comment from Rhiana* o_o »
<Roric> «ooc: Watch Lunar Magic petrify him again. »
<Cody> «ooc: How cute! *giggleclap!* »
<Roric> «ooc: hey, Cody should use his magical augment ability with LM! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: It took you that long ;) »
<Rahne> << In the event that Rahne is slain, Cw, it ill revive all other slain party members. ^^; >>
<Cody> «ooc: ...Wow O_o GOOD IDEA »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o Like whoa O_o »
<GMStoren> >> Chrys summons the poopiest spell ever, Lunar Magic! ^_^;
<Cody> «ooc: No! Clarvoyance is poopier! It's +poopiness :D »
<GMStoren> « ou can itnerrupt.. »
<Chrys> «ooc: It's just poopy because you don't have a script to deal with it. »
<GMStoren> « Cody I mean. you can cast it while anothe ris casting ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Knowing mIRC scripts, it'd return instant death for everyone in the fight. »
<Cody> «ooc: ...Doh. I forgot :9 »
<Cody> «ooc: I'll let it go this time. :) »
<GMStoren> « just reminding you.. nt very effectvie for LN.. anyway »
<Roric> «ooc: Aw. »

<Roric> «ooc: God, I love this spell. The Moon God Beast should use it every turn. »
<Roric> «ooc: Though it'll be dead on turn 3 if I'm around. <:D »
<GMStoren> >> Umber's Spirit drops to 0! Tori is unaffected. Cody's Mind drops to 0! Niki's MInd is raised to 50! Roric's Agility is 50! Chrys is unaffected. Rhiana is Moody!
<Cody> «ooc: ...I HATE YOU >:/ »
<Rachel> <<O_o>>
<Rhiana> «ooc: How can I be petrified and moody? »
<GMStoren> « I'm not lying! it came up that! »
<GMStoren> « youc an have multiple effects Rhiana ^^ »
* Rhiana is now a pissed off work of erotic art
<Chrys> «ooc: ...lol. ^^; It was good except for Cody. »
<Cody> ...Fucking enough of this...if I can't blast through you...I'll slash through you! Let me through!
<Roric> «ooc: I AM FUCKING FAST »
<Rachel> <<:o>>
<Rahne> << No effect for Rahne? >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Because Rhiana's moody will wear off when her petrify wears off most likely. »
* Cody unattaches the Mana sword from his backpack, holding it in his hands...somehow O_o
<Roric> «ooc: HAHAHA. Niki mind 50. That's just great. Niki, PLEEEEASE use the wind coin. »
<Roric> «ooc: if you get a chance. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: * No Cody, you're holding the wrong end! * Cody looks down as his fingers are lying on the ground »
<GMStoren> « Niki with 50 mind.. lol o_O »
<Cody> «ooc: Cody: ...Doh. Rage. »
<Cody> «ooc: Actually, I'd really like it if someone used a happy stardust herb on me ;_; »
* Roric pivots on his heel. "Hah."
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana is Petrified! ^^;
<Roric> «ooc: Rahne can dispel you. »
<GMStoren> [Umber] Grr... such pranks will not save you..
<Roric> «ooc: But you wanna group-status-cure next turn anyway, which doesn't require Mind. »
<Cody> «ooc: I know. ^^; »
<Rhiana> «ooc: Shouldn't Roric be wearing a mask to go "Hah!" and pivot heroically? »
<Chrys> «ooc: ...lol. »
<Roric> «ooc: He quit the mystere thing. He's willing to accept the persona as part of himself now. »
<GMStoren> >> Umber spreads his arms wide, as plate sldies open revealing some type of energy ball.. it charges up for a moment and streaks at Roric!
<Rhiana> «ooc: So Roric is kinda like Kenshin..only a lot lamer ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: I don't suppose I can dodge this? ^_~ »
<GMStoren> >> Hyper Cannon! Roric suffers 276 damage!
<GMStoren> « no.. it's also NOt earth ^^ »
* Roric flies backward, hitting the ground with a hard thud. "Ugh."
* Chrys winces as he finishes his spell and wathes Roric get fried.
<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
<Chrys> «ooc: Watches. »
<Roric> 349 - 276
<Roric> «ooc: Er. »
<Roric> «ooc: Ignore. »
<Roric> «ooc: 73 HP. OUCH. »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh well, it's prime. I'd kinda rather heal though. »
<Roric> «ooc: ...it's my turn? Shit. »
* Roric hops to his feet.
<Roric> Nice try.
* Roric punches the palm of his hand, crouching down and gathering his energy for a rushing attack. "Prepare to perish!" Suddenly he springs forward, somersaulting and flipping his way towards. Umber. With a final flying leap, he lands right in front of him, grinning before banging heads violently.
<Roric> «ooc: DB »
<GMStoren> « oh gosh »
<Roric> «ooc: Wait a sec. »
<Roric> «ooc: I FUCKING HAVE WIND SABER. HOLY SHIT »
<Cody> «ooc: :D »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ... »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: And you just wasted your turn ;_; »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: *pokes Umber* You could be dead already! :( »
<GMStoren> >> Roric uses Drunken Boxer! He collodies heads with the towering gargantuan golem, looking very funny. But it apparently does the trick.. pow! o_o
<Roric> «ooc: The funny thing is, with spirit 0, we could moogle him. »
<Chrys> «ooc: ...lol. »
<Roric> «ooc: Well, he's prolly immune, but still. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Spirit 0, I could engulf him ;) »
<GMStoren> « warnhing though he can shrug it off quick »

<GMStoren> >> 667 damage!
<Chrys> «ooc: O_o;; »
<Roric> «ooc: 25 agi's the last point at which anyone can have it. »
* Roric flips back to his original position, teetering uneasily. "Whom my first strike does not fell, my second shall crumble!"
<Rahne> << Sorry. ^^;  I admittedly know the feeling though. ^^;  With everyone attempting to be fast, it's made x2 actions for me hard to do also. ^^;; >>
<GMStoren> >> Roric is speedy may act twice!
<Roric> «ooc: ..I can? »
<Roric> «ooc: OK. »
* Roric does it again. Fun.
<GMStoren> The Umebr grunts once, staring at Roric. "So, you're not all weak pathetic fools.."
<Roric> No...that's just you.
* Roric charges for a second attack!
<GMStoren> >> Roric plays headbutt the demi-God again. Fun. 634 damage!

* Rahne casts ¤Dispel! Light retreats from the battlefield as a small swirling vortex springs into being! On silent black wings, Shade appears, his single eye opens slowly, his gaze falling upon Cody! All magical energies retreat from the gaze of the shadowy being!

* Cody kneels on the ground and raises his arms to the sky, as if asking for aid. In response, clouds roll in and cover the sky and it begins to drizzle. A single ray of sunlight punches through the clouds and shines on washing away the impurites of body and soul.

* Rahne casts ¤Sylvan Martyr! The ground cracks, and a small green sprout pops out; the small plant begins to grow larger, blossoming into a beautiful flower! The bloom unfurls, reavealing Dryad! Smiling warmly at Rahne, she extends her arms outwards casting a glowing yellow pollen over Rahne. "Who?" Dryad asks. * Cody..., Rahne answers. Dryad smiles warmly once more before vanishing, the effects of her blessing not yet apparent.. *
<Cody> «ooc: Aww. How sweet :D »
<Roric> «ooc: I bet she never uses that on anyone else the entire game. ^_~ »

<Cody> «ooc: I know ^^ »
<Cody> ....
<Cody> Cold black iron, red hot iron, white hot iron. With iron taste and iron smell, ignite my rage to buring flame! To sear! To burn! To quell!
* Cody strikes the ground with the tip of his staff, as the ground heaves. The groundswell lurches forward until is rests beneath the enemy. Suddenly all hell breaks loose in a fiery fountain of magma and fire!
<Cody> «ooc: There, no more Niki hitting ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: And with 0 spirit... :o »
<Rachel> <<aww...wanted to see Cody try and use a sword...heheh...funny.. ^^>>

<Rahne> <<  How it should be bouquet?  At least I always thought it was bouquet. ^^; >>
* Roric shoves his hand forcefully into the ground, passing through it up to the wrist as though it were quicksand. "By heaven's light..." He leaps to his feet. "I am but a conduit for energies beyond the imagining of my foes." A string of green light follows his hand. He touches his temples with his fingers, and the energy flows into him.
<Roric> «ooc: Aurawave self. »
<GMStoren> >> Roric uses Aura wave.. charge tops out. :)
<GMStoren> >> Chrys's turn.
* Chrys seathes his blades and clenches his fists, a red aura forming around them.
<Chrys> Salamando, looks like it's time to kick things up a notch...

* Cody is hit hard and rolls a bit on the ground, staying down for a few moments before trying to haul himself up.
<Roric> «ooc: Rhiana likes fisting. »

* Rahne is winded by the first blow, but deftly deflects the second assault, resting on her spear and collecting her breath.. *
<Cody> Rahne...
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
* Rahne casts *Ghost Lance! Rahne twirls her spear around, halting the weapon with it's tip facing Umber! An spectral mist gathers at the point of the weapon, the pale intangible mass growing and taking shape! With a roar like the screams of a the damned, the massive behemoth-spectre rears back, and lunges forward, bringing it's jagged maw down upon Rahne's appointed foe! As the beast's jaws snap shut, it collapses back into mist, dissipating.. *
* Chrys looks towards Rahne, worried as she stands up again, preparing for her next attack..
* Cody hauls himself to his feet, using the sword as a crutch.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Transpose wha? Chrys? »

<Cody> «ooc: Rachel's head sex is fun! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o. »
<GMStoren> The Umber seems like it's staggered by Rahne's attack, holding the chink in it's massve armor.

<Chriswizard> «ooc: Cody! The side with the point you hold away! :D »
<Rachel> <<Mmm. Cody is sexy. Damn.>>
<Cody> «ooc: ..Oh doh ;) »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o Ooh. Like whoa :D »
* Chrys wideeyes a moment and then closes his eyes with a sigh, sheathing his daggers quietly.
<GMStoren> >> Cody atatck with reckless abandon, the sword seeming to glow as bright as the sun as it finds it's way into the weakened area, slcies through the beast as if it was paper, not stone...!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Ouch :D »

<Roric> ...you shouldn't have messed with him. *brushes his hair back, standing tall with some effort* Let's get Rachel.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ...Only 500? »

<Roric> «ooc: 500 is a lot, Chris. »
<Rhiana> Hey..Cody...calm yourself
<GMStoren> As Cody slashes a strange force seems to flow from the pendant at his neck.
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Oh. O-o; »
* Rahne runs up to her friend.. * Cody..! Cody..!
<Cody> Nhnngh!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: HNnnnnn! »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: :D »
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<GMStoren> A brown spectre of the Earth odbeast is sucked into the blade itself, screaming like a banshee, and the energy arcs and crackles into his necklace.
<Roric> ...you did it!
<Roric> I can't believe it.
* Rahne grabs a hold of his flailing arm.. * Stop.. dammit.. stop..
<Roric> You did it without even trying.
<Rachel> <<A winner is you. ^^>>
* Roric blinks, amazed.
* Cody stops slashing, but still seems enraged somehow.
<GMStoren> >> Cody acquires the Earth Beast Spirit!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: O_o. Cody has Berserk ailment! »
<Chrys> Rahne! Back off!
<Cody> «ooc: Hit him! ^^ »
* Roric shakes his head. "I have a lot to explain...but let's deal with this first."
<GMStoren> Emerald appears, the dust settling. "Cody!"
* Chrys turns around and tries to figure out what to do.
<Roric> «ooc: If you keep asking us to hit cody we're just gonna start whacking him whenever we feel like it, Lucca. »
* Rahne whirls Cody around, casting aside her spear, and bringing up her now free hand.. with a crack like a whip, she draws her hand away from the red mark left on his cheek! * Dammit Cody! Stop this!
<Roric> Hey! Watch it!~
<Chriswizard> «ooc: OW. that would HURT. »
<Rahne> Stop being so damned selfish!  You're not the only one who's failed!  You're not alone!
<Roric> We have more important things to do than smack each other around!
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Cody, snap out of it!
* Chrys edges closer to the scene, ready to take the hit if Cody decides to attack Rahne..
<Chriswizard> «ooc: It would suck if Cody fainted from that ^^; »
<Rachel> <<That's the second time she has smacked my guy around ;) I think you guys're kinda kinky.>>
* Cody cries out softly, a hand instantly reaching for his cheek...then, his rage melts away and be suddenly bursts into tears of both fear and exhauastion, "Oh Goddess...I...I..."
* Rahne hugs him.. * It's okay, Cody... it's okay..
* Chrys sighs and lets Rahne deal with Cody... he turns and mumbles something to Roric.
<GMStoren> The space above the pit begins to distort...
<Cody> He's hurting her...I've got to find her...
<GMStoren> The survivors all huddle in any shelter they can find, wondering what else is going to show up. Soon that question is answered.
* Roric answers Chrys quietly.
<Rahne> We'll find her..  we will..  but you musn't..  musn't act like you were..
* Chrys nods.
* GMStoren You... you took it!

<GMStoren> [Meira] You... you took it!
<Cody> ...I feel it. I feel her...He's beating her...he-
<GMStoren> The ebony form of Meira apepars from the folded space.
* Cody looks up towards Meria's voice, "Huh...?"
* Chrys raises an eyebrow and turns to Meira. "Thanks, kitty, you just answered my question." ^_^
<Cody> I took it...?
<GMStoren> [Meira] That Godbeast is right fully mine!
<Roric> Not quite, Chrys.
<Roric> Cody took the spirit essence. She has been denied.
* Chrys nods. "Exactly."
<Cody> Godbeast...yours? O_o
* Roric looks straight at Meira. "And she might as well leave now."
* Rahne quickly picks up her spear.. ready to defend against Meira.. *
<Chrys> And, you know...
<Chriswizard> «ooc: You are the weakeslink! Good-bye. »
<Rhiana> Finders keepers...
<GMStoren> [Meira] We had a deal... you're changing the rules...
<Roric> «ooc: ... »
<Cody> ...I have NO idea what you're talking about...and I don't have time for this!
* Rhiana folds her arms, "I don't recall making any deal."
<Cody> Meria, PLEASE stand aside!
<Roric> I don't recall making any deal with you. Take any beasts you can, but don't expect us to hand them to you.
* Chrys walks up to Meira and tests his luck by yanking on one of her ears lightly. "Go home. There's other things at work."
<Rachel> <<...lol. Gah.>>
<GMStoren> Chrys tries to walk up to meira but realizes he's standing on nothign suddenly. He cascades down the sinkhole's side.
<Cody> «ooc: HA HA HA :D »
* Chrys slides down, like an idiot. ^^
<GMStoren> [Meira] You're going to give me that spirit and that rock around your neck..
<Chrys> «ooc: DAMN YOU, STOREN! ^^ »
<Cody> Rock...?
* Cody looks down at my pendant, "...no. I can't do that..."
<Cody> «ooc: my = his »
* Rahne holds out her spear.. * Over my dead body, Meira.
<Roric> Go to hell, Meira.
<Rhiana> Don't make this difficult Felicia.  Just get out of our way
<Roric> We've got better things to do.
* Chrys takes the advantage to make his way out on the other side, slowly.
<Cody> «ooc: Felicia? O_o »
<Rhiana> I mean Meria...you all look al ike to me...
<Rachel> <<Heheh.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Hehee »
<Rahne> << ^^; >>
<GMStoren> Meira starts to float over to Cody upon her wings, but as she draws near, a force repulses her...
<Chrys> <Meira> *giggles and bounces her chest*
<Chrys> «ooc: ...Er, OOC. »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL »
<GMStoren> Meira shields her eyes. "Darn.. the Mana sword..."
<Roric> «ooc: For a second I thopught storen said that, Ash. »
<Rachel> <<*chokes* Gah!>>
<Roric> You can examine it from in between your shoulderblades if you like.
* Cody twirls the sword and points at her, "...I don't want to oppose you. I really don't...but if you keep on this course we'll be enemies. You understand that, don't you?"
* Chrys manages to pull himself up on the other side. He waves to the party and starts off towards Kurik's mansion, knowing full well he's on a suicide mission without the others.
<GMStoren> [Meira] ...yes I do. but you don't understand why I'm doing this...
<Rhiana> «ooc: Boy..Chrys..alone..suicide mission..I didn't see this one coming »
<Cody> «ooc: You know, Chrys. You can really wait for us too :p »
<Cody> «ooc: Has Cody actually been told? ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Rhi, Duh, it's a cliche by now. Cody, I could, but I had the advantage of being made look like an idiot. »
<Rahne> It's obvious your interests conflict with our own, Meira..  if you want God Beast spirits..  go find your own and fight one yourself. :P
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah, but...gah. Nevermind :p »
<GMStoren> « did Roric tell Cody »
<Cody> «ooc: Not yet, I meant just that Meria wants to outclass Entropy »
<Chrys> «ooc: Relax though, I won't get far. ^^ »
<GMStoren> Meira pouts once. Cute and evil all at the same time. Scary.
<Chrys> «ooc: Chrys doesn't have as much of a death wish as he likes to think he does. »
* Rhiana looks through her side pouch, "I know I have some catnip somewhere..."
<GMStoren> [Meira] Fine, be that way. I'm going to get the last piece either way...
* Rahne ears fold back, something about cats and cat-things she just detests.. *
<Roric> That's good of you. Now go away.
<Rhiana> ...or perhaps a ball of yarn
<Chrys> «ooc: Mm, Canine instincts. ;) »
* Cody tenses, "I...really...do not have time for this now..."
<Chrys> «ooc: Or more technically, vulpine.. »
* Roric follows Chrys, content that she doesn't intend to harm Cody.
<GMStoren> [Meira] Go run off and save your little friend or whatever...
* Chrys stops and and waits, lifting his head as he sees Roric approaching. "Anyways, she leave?"
<Rhiana> Maybe a scratching post 
* Cody nods once, and actually looks at Meria gratefully, "Thank you."
<Roric> I think she's still yammering.
* Cody quickly runs after Roric and Chrys, still on guard.
<Chrys> ...Still... Whatever Cody did...stopped her from getting the spirit, right?
<GMStoren> Meira vanishes. "Next time we meet, I'll show you I can beat a Godbeast... and a whole lot more."
<Roric> Chrys, I'll explain it all later.
<Roric> It's kind of...a long story.
* Rahne tags along with Cody.. *
<Rhiana> I really don't like cats
* Rhiana skips along after the group
* Chrys nods. "Fine then. I trust we aren't going to put up with Meira's antics much longer, then...?"
<Rahne> Tell me about it, Mi--   Rhiana. ^^;
<GMStoren> You find it extremely precarious to make it over and across the rim of the gigantic pit that was once the fair pandora square.
<Roric> Like I said...it's a long story.
*** Edelritter (seikishi@pc-216-180.apoquindo.pc.metropolis-inter.com) Quit (Write Error: Broken pipe)
<Cody> We need to go. Now. Kurik has already...if we don't hurry. She'll die...I can't...I can't feel her anymore...
* Roric dodges through the uneven ground with surprising skill, in a few places resorting to climbing.
* Chrys dusts himself off and starts off towards the mansion, party slowly catching up. "We'll have plenty of time once we're out of Pandora. Maybe not years, but at least a few hours..."
<GMStoren> « one second.. »
<Rahne> We'll save her...
<Rhiana> Well, I have a question for the group here, folks.
<Cody> «ooc: Wow. ^^ We still techically have a half hour ^^ »
<Rhiana> And I want an honest answer.
<Cody> . o O ( It's not too late...I know it... )
* Roric says nothing, busy maneuvering through pits.
<GMStoren> You notice a plaque that is barely hanging onto a sign post reading "Broduer Manse ->"
<Rhiana> Does anyone know about this "deal" she spoke of?
* Chrys sighs and looks at the slightly distant Rhiana. "Does it involve something that would compromise what little pride I have left?"
<Cody> I do...
<Chrys> ...Not a whit..
<Rahne> ..I don't...
<Roric> Nngh...*pulls himself over a seven-foot ledge* She's full of shit.
<Cody> From what I understand...Kurik threatened to hurt her father if she didn't go with him...I think...
* Chrys shakes his head, leading the party until they get on completely solid ground.
<GMStoren> It seems to point down what was once a high class lane, now most buildings are in shambles. An especially large one seems largely unaffected, despite a crack here and there in the venerable walls.
<Rachel> <<Wrong deal, luv.>>
<Rhiana> I'm talking about Meria, Cody.
<Cody> «ooc: Oh. ;_; Nuke my statement ;_; »
<Rhiana> She's talking like she's got a signed contract by one of us
<Cody> I...I don't know that deal... 
<Chrys> The only contract I'd sign of hers would involve her head on a rusty brass platter, thanks.
<Rhiana> I don't really like her...but sje
<Roric> <EVIL>
<Rhiana> «ooc: EVIL »
<Cody> ...She's was used once...
<Rhiana> She's not like..all evil...there's something inside of her that's genuine
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Yeah, but fighting evil with evil is not the way to do it. She needs us..
* Roric withholds a smartass answer for the time being.
<Rhiana> But I don't know what that would pertain to.
* Rhiana shrugs, "I can sense it in her magic aura..it's different from the god beasts and even Khyros."
<Chrys> ...That could be because of her origins, you know.
<Chrys> So she's not "evil". Doesn't mean she agrees with us in any way.
<Rhiana> Oh I'm not saying that we should trust her
<Rhiana> I'm just saying her objectives are different
<Rahne> Whatever she's doing..  she's not doing it for anyone's good...
<Chrys> ...That's not right, Rahne.
<Rhiana> I don't want to say you're wrong Rahne..but we really don't know.
<Rhiana> Although I do agree that assuming mass power is the wrong way to solve your problems.
<Chrys> She's a creature of chaos. She's doing it for her own good. To return things to the same element as hers...at least, that's how I'd see it.
<Roric> We can debate this later.
* Chrys nods. "First, we have someone to save.
<Rhiana> I'd prefer to debate it with her.
<GMStoren> You find the door to the mansion, locked tigth. However this is of little consequence, considering the walla round it is quite broken..
<Rhiana> But she tends to pick the worst possible times to show up
<Rhiana> «ooc: the Wallawalla, Washingont? »
<Rhiana> «ooc: ... »
* Rahne nods to Roric, then glancing crossways at Cody to see the fading red mark of her slap, feeling somewhat ashamed.. *
<Cody> Enough with Meria...we can deal with it once Rachel is safe. ...Right?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] Well, guess that solves the problem of breaking in...
<Cody> He might have hired goons....So we should stay close...
<Rhiana> I wanna pop this Kurik guy a good one
<Chrys> ...Provided they're still here...
<GMStoren> « Chrys is right. heh. ;) »
<Rhiana> I'd agree with Chrys here
<Rachel> <<Pop him one! Oh god! Pop him one!>>
<Cody> ...Well, good for us, I guess. ^^
<Rhiana> For once, chaos and hysteria would keep everyone in disarray
<Rhiana> Which is to our benefit here
<GMStoren> You hear the shotus of several people fleeing in the street behind you.
<Rhiana> ...?  Why are they running, we killed the God Beast....
* Cody blinks several times.
<Rahne> Either they aren't fans of Kurik..  or they're scared of us, I suppose...
<Rachel> <<LOL>>
<GMStoren> You notice they seem to be servants of some sort... ^^
<Rhiana> Smells like an early retirement
* Rahne warily perks her ears up, listening intently.. *
<GMStoren> Abvoe you, upon a balcony, you see a figure reterat inside the house.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Rahne> Go Go Gadget ears! »
<GMStoren> « er retreat ^^ »
<Cody> ...Do you think he saw us...? Was that who I think it was?
* Chrys quirks an eyebrow. "I think it was."
* Rhiana brandishes her whip, "Only one way to find out."
<Rahne> ..I didn't get a good look..
<Chrys> Be ready for an ambush, people.
<Chrys> Just in case.
<GMStoren> « you know you CAN go inside. :) »
* Chrys goes inside ^^;
<Rhiana> «ooc: But I wanted to do a really cool pose! »
<Rachel> <<Yes, please go inside. ;)>>
* Cody heads inside.
<Rhiana> «ooc: aww.. okay ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: I save my womaaaan! »
* Roric goes insidew.
<GMStoren> You step over the rumble strewn about the foyer and take in the expanses of the Manse Broduer... (more following)
* Rahne follows, her ears still upright, listening very intently.. *
<Cody> «ooc: I need to let my doggy out soon ;_; »
<Rachel> <<Storen is gonna cut/paste! Damn you! ;)>>

<Rhiana> «ooc: Chrys has LOST HIS MIND »
* Rahne << nudges Chrys.. * Hey.. wake up.. I can't hear for your snoring. ^^;; >>
<GMStoren> You immediately notice the expensive atmosphere, decorated in fine precious metals and carpeting. A grand staircase lays at the back of the room, leading somewhere above, while doors lead to the elft and right. In the center is a desk, upon which a scripture lays, eerie and serenely undisturbed amidst the quake.
* Roric pockets whatever looks small and expensive.
<Rhiana> «ooc: Wow, I just looked at those SoM pictures »
<Cody> «ooc: Rhi: neat, huh? ^^ »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I didn't know he had that much time :) »
* Rahne strolls forward to read the parchment on the desk.. *
* Chrys raises an eyebrow and looks at the scripture briefly before pocketing it. ^^;
<Rhiana> «ooc: Nice though :) »
<Cody> ...Which way? Left or right?
<Rhiana> «ooc: I wonder why he drew me half naked and on a bed :P »
<Cody> Or upstairs...?
* Chrys sweatdrops and takes it back out, handing it to Rahne. "Sorry.."
<GMStoren> You smell some rabite stew cooking from the right door, which hangs open... presumable the kitchen.
<Chrys> ...Upstairs, Cody.
* Rahne takes it, and scans it.. * ^^;
<Chrys> ...Though we might have to drag Rhiana.
<Cody> Well, certainly not right...
* Cody takes a quick glance through the left door.
<Rhiana> And why would you need to drag me anywhere
<Roric> He's being hilarious. Let's go.
* Chrys shakes his head, waiting at the foot of the stairs. "Never mind. Come on."
* Roric heads left.
<Roric> You go ahead.
<Roric> I'
<Roric> I'll catch up.
<GMStoren> beyond the left door, Cody can see a well funished study. A fire is in the fireplace, burning brightly, and books and papers are cast about.
<Cody> Hold up, everyone...
* Roric glances about quickly for anything of value, or any adjoining rooms.
<GMStoren> The large windows are cracked, but what light comes through illuminates a dagger placed into a journal upon the desk.
* Cody hurries to where the dagger and journal are, "...maybe this tells where she is..."
<GMStoren> Rahne and Chrys find the ntoe is a hastily written plan for a party.
<Rachel> <<It was Kurik in the study with a journal! Er, dagger!>>
<Chrys> «ooc: ^^;;; »
<Rhiana> Well, it appears he killed the story
<Roric> «ooc: "Find the derivitave of x if x is equal to the square root of y, where y is the..." AUGH! THIS TEXTBOOK SUCKS! *stabs it* »
*** Criz (The1QTWith@adsl-162-83-179-146.nyc.adsl.bellatlantic.net) has joined #pureland
<GMStoren> You ntoice there's a rusty colroed tint to the blade... blood?
* Chrys looks at the note closer..
<Cody> Oh goddess...
* Cody quickly looks into the journal
<Roric> ...what?
<GMStoren> Cody spies some words, written in very fine handwriting.
<GMStoren> "I hear whisperings of the coming of the Gemma and his little pets. Coming to defeat a great danger. Well now, that just means I'll have a chance to reclaim my dear little wife. She should be so glad that I care for her so greatly. I'll show her where she belongs, of course, and eventually she'll learn not to be so weak...."
<GMStoren> The entry ends there, wheer the dagger lays. ^^
* Chrys looks at Rahne. "If they're still here... they won't be if they hear we're here... I should stall them..."
<Cody> ...We won't find anything here. Upstairs. Hurry. 
<GMStoren> « er where. leave me alone IM people ;_; »
<Cody> «ooc: Turn it off ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Close AIM!>>
* Chrys looks at Cody and nods. "Come on."
* Cody runs ahead of Chrys this time, but not so fast that he leaves the party behind
* Chrys follows closely, equally concerned for Rachel's health..
* Rahne moves swiftly and silently, nearly on top of Cody.. quick to bail him out in the event of a trap.. *
<Roric> «ooc: .... »
<Roric> «ooc: .... »
<Roric> «ooc: .... »
<Rachel> <<*bites her bottom lip*>>
<Chrys> «ooc: *does the same* »
<Roric> «ooc: Mm hm. »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh my »
<Rahne> << I knew you'd think that. -_-;  You naughty evil people. :P >>
<Roric> «ooc: Then you're just as bad as we are. ^_~ »
<GMStoren> The group troops up the twin staircases to the second level of the mansion. You notice it's very quiet up here...
<Chrys> «ooc: Too quiet, Stor? »
<Roric> «ooc: JUST QUIET ENOUGH »
<Rhiana> Look like we're goin' up
* Rahne listens carefully.. *
<GMStoren> The resulting hallway finds you amidst a rather guadily decorated corridor. There are 3 wooden doors, and a pair of glass ones here, as well as a picture that hangs on the wall of a man and a woman.
* Roric looks through the glass doors right away since they're transparent.
<GMStoren> There's a fancy vase, toppled over and shattered upon the floor...
<Rhiana> Well if there's gonna be an ambush, here's the perfect spot for it.
<Cody> ...
<Chrys> ...
* Rahne travels forward carefully, quietly, placing an ear against the closest door.. *
<GMStoren> Roric can see it leads to a balcony.. the curtains are half drawn, closed in haste.
<GMStoren> « someone should see the picture ;) »
<Rachel> <<^_->>
* Cody looks closer at hte picture, urged on somehow.
<Cody> «ooc: ;) »
<Rachel> <<*stops kicking Cody in the shin*>>
<Cody> «ooc: ^_^ »
<Rhiana> «ooc: I wonder if it's Kurik and Rachel :O »
<Cody> «ooc: ow :D »
<GMStoren> rahne doesn't hear anything.
* Roric tries the door to see if it opens.
<Chrys> «ooc: *moves Cody up to the picture and presses A »
<Rahne> << I figured seeing the picture would be inevitable. ^^;;  I wanna know if there's anything on the other side of these doors, dammit. ^^;; >>
<Rachel> <<Oh my god, Rhi! ;)>>
<Rhiana> «ooc: Shhh! I want to be surprised! »
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Chrys> «ooc: No, it's Kurik and Storen! ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: It'd be funny if it were Kurik and Rhiana, or something. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: lol, that would be shocking »
<GMStoren> Cody inspects the picture... The man is obviously Kurik. He looks almost pleasant, groomed nicely and smiling cheerfully. His eyes betray him, however, with coldness lurking in their depths. The woman is beautiful. Her hair is long, down to her waist. It almost seems to shimmer within the painting. She is clad in a fine and expensive looking dark blue dress. There is a faint trace of make up but it does nothing to make the woman seem happy. Sadness lurks in the dark depths of her eyes and she isn't smiling.
<Rachel> <<lur.>>
<Chrys> «ooc: SADNESS LUR! »
<Chrys> «ooc: I need a hug. »
<Cody> «ooc: LUR LUR LUR HAHAHA »
<Cody> «ooc: :D »
<GMStoren> Sadness lurks in the dark depths of her eyes and she isn't smiling.
<GMStoren> « ^^; »
<Cody> Rachel...
<GMStoren> Roric finds the balcony doors open with ease.
<Cody> «ooc: What doors were left again? ^^ »
* Roric goes onto the balcony.
<GMStoren> « three wooden ones.. ^^ »
* Chrys kneels down, trying to look through the keyhole of one of the wooden doors.
<Roric> «ooc: I'm being careful in case it collapses, since the house just got shaken down. »
<GMStoren> « two pair of large ones oppsoite, and a smaller.. »
* Cody heads towards the smaller door, and peeks inside the keyhole
<Rachel> <<Pssst. One is a broom closet. ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: Well fuck you! »
<Cody> «ooc: *GIGGLECLAP »
<GMStoren> Roric finds a view of Pandora... too bad it's not exactly beautiful at the moment...
* Rhiana folds her arms and taps her foot
<Cody> «ooc: C'mon Storen! Tell me it's a broom closet ;) »
<Rachel> <<... ^_->>
* Roric steps back in after ascertaining that there's nothing on or leading from the balcony, and sets to work forcing a separate door.
<GMStoren> Cody sees another door at the end of a corridor, but he can't see where it leads.
* Cody quietly opens the smaller door, peering in
<GMStoren> Roric forces open one of the larger doors, revealing an elegant bedroom.
<Chrys> «ooc: And me? »
<Chrys> «ooc: I assume I was looking in the third door »
* Roric looks around, again grabbing whatever he can see that looks nice.
<GMStoren> Roric finds a large canopied bed with handsome sheets. Very comfortable looking. Several intricately carved dressers, filled with clothes. There is a fireplace on the furthest wall of the room. The floor is polished to a shine. A huge portrait of an older man, presumably Kurik's father, hangs above the fireplace. He is wise looking and fit but his eyes betray no warmth whatsoever.
<Rachel> <<I like the word betray. Note to self...buy thesaurus.>>
<GMStoren> Chrys finds another bedroom, presumably less lavish than Kurik's..
* Chrys opens the door, quietly..
<GMStoren> Roric finds something in a smalld esk.. a small metal key.
<Cody> «ooc: What does CODY FIND :D »
<GMStoren> Cody can't open the small door. It's shut tight.
<Cody> «ooc: He opened the shiny pretty door ^^ »
<Cody> ...It needs a key...
<Rachel> <<*giggles*>>
* Roric tosses the key to Cody. "Try it."
<GMStoren> « let's play runa round in rachel's dungeon :D »
* Cody catches it quickly, and tries to place the key into the lock.
* Rahne peers from behind Roric, watching Cody give the key a shot.. *
<GMStoren> « you do know Sotek drafted me as a world buidler...? ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: A what? »
<GMStoren> It fits, and soon the door opens into a thin corridor.
<Cody> ...This way. I'm sure...
<GMStoren> The bigegst thing of note is the fact weapons hang on the wall.. a whip.. and a jagged, ornamental knife.
<Cody> ..Okay, I'm definetely sure. C'mon...!
<Rachel> <<lol>>
<GMStoren> They both seem like they have been used...
* Cody walks foward with resolve.
<Rachel> <<On cows! Moo!.....damn me.>>
* Rahne follows Cody, still alert and wary.. *
<GMStoren> Cody walks forward, but as he does so, the floor where he was begins to drop out. o_O
<Cody> O_o Ahh-!
<GMStoren> « not you Cody »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh. Wow. Fuck me, then :D »
<Roric> Watch it! This place is unstable!
<GMStoren> The hall behind him becomes a huge gaping pit.
<Rachel> <<Where he was. Sorry, Rahne. ;)>>
<Cody> «ooc: Uh oh, THt means hte rest of you are gonna fall :D »
<Roric> «ooc: How wide is this hall? »
<Rahne> << Fucked. ;_;  I suck.  Unworthy.  Fail. ;_;  Death. >>
<Chrys> «ooc: Um, Chrys -was- examining the third room. »
<Roric> «ooc: We'll only fall if we walk across the pit. »
<GMStoren> « only two people wide about »
<GMStoren> « you need to find another way ^^ »
<Rachel> <<there's nothing to it, Chrys, just gaudiness ;)>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Rache: Which means things to steal. »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL. »
<Roric> «ooc: Storen: Hmm. I could shimmy through with my arms and legs wide, if it's that thin, couldn't I? I mean, with some effort. »
* Rahne leaps forward, but fails, descending into the dark oblivion.. *
<Rachel> <<So go ahead, luv, make a profit ;)>>
<GMStoren> Rahne barely manages to hop back in time to avoid plummeting.
<GMStoren> « eep »
<Rachel> <<dude, Rahne O_o>>
<GMStoren> « nuke that ;) »
<Rahne> << Okay.  Nuke my line. ^^;; >>
* Rhiana lashes out her whip at Rahne
<GMStoren> « nono »
<GMStoren> « that's fine to fall »
<Cody> Everyone-!
<Chriswizard> «ooc: No suicide for you! :P »
<GMStoren> Rhiana catches rahne by her waist, inches before she hits a bunch of barbs in the basement. o_o
* Rahne grabs onto the whip, collecting her breath.. * Goddess..
<Rachel> <<I love Kurik. He's like a big psychotic teddy bear.>>
<Rhiana> ...Sorry about the shock, Rahne..are you okay?
<Cody> «ooc: I assume Cody is on the ohter side of the hole? :) »
<Cody> Rahne, are you all right?
<Roric> Hmm.
<GMStoren> Cody notices the door on his little eprch at the hall's end has the samll lock.
* Roric tinks.
* Cody sounds really concerned.
<Roric> «ooc: THINKS THINSK THINKS »
<GMStoren> « er same lock ^^ »
* Rahne scrambles up the side.. * No.. no.. it's okay.. better the whip than the spikes.. ..thank you..
<Roric> «ooc: I DO NOT TINK »
<Cody> «ooc: tinkle ^^ »
* Rhiana eyeballs Chrys, "Gimme a hand, flyboy."
* Rahne blinks, looking back down at the pit.. * Yeah.. I.. I think so...
<GMStoren> A faint scream is heard.
* Chrys shoves a few more gilded beauties into his satchel and comes back out onto the hall to see the big gaping hole and Rahne crawling up the whip. "Wow. I'm glad I didn't go that way."
* Chrys helps Rhiana with the whip.
<Cody> Rachel's through this door. I'm sure of it...if you guys can make sure Kurik doesn't come this way, we can sneak out...-
* Rhiana pulls Rahne up with Chrys's help
<Rhiana> How bloody paranoid must this chap be to put such a contraption in his house
<Roric> «ooc: Wait, aren't cody and the rest of us on opposite sides of a huge bit? »
<GMStoren> « yeah you are ^^ »
* Chrys raises an eyebrow. "In Pandora? Not really. I've seen worse, Rhi."
<Rachel> <<Cody one side. You guys the rest.>>
* Roric looks down. "Um, Cody, I don't think anyone will be coming this way."
<Cody> ...If someone can get the Pandora guard here...
<Rhiana> Wait Cody, for us
* Rhiana looks up at the celing for a light or something
<Cody> You think KURIK will wait?
<GMStoren> [Emerald] This is a little too convenient... and I can't even come with you...
<Chrys> I know these types of places...there's gotta be another way.
<Roric> «ooc: Why can't emerald come with him? »
<Rachel> <<She can't? O_o>>
<Chrys> Otherwise, Kurik would have no way to get over there.
<Roric> WHy not, fairy>?
<GMStoren> « she is goign to poof in another second, and she can't hide in Cody ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Hide in his magically delicious chocobo! »
<Rachel> <<O_O>>
<Chrys> «ooc: CODY, BRILLIANCE O_O »
<Rachel> <<ROTFL. Oh dear god.>>
<Rhiana> I'll try to swing over to you
<Cody> «ooc: Hehehee »
<GMStoren> Emerald fades away into Chrys's head. "Save Rachel! I'm out of juice here!"
<Chrys> «ooc: Em, hide in Joch's big kwarky head! »
* Rhiana continues lookin'
* Chrys sweatdrops. "Oh, thanks, Em."
<Roric> You guys can mess around here. I'm going to look for another way.
<GMStoren> Rhiana can't find anything to lash onto... except the weapons rack.
* Roric steps out into the hall.
<Cody> Look for another way in...I'm going to stall him. She's near death. There's no time.
* Chrys nods. "I know places like this."
<GMStoren> You hear another scream, louder this time. It is a woman.. and coming from the door.
* Rhiana curses under her breath
<Cody> Please...get the Pandora guard!
<Rachel> << <Flanders> Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiee! Purple drapes! I've always wanted PURPLE drapes! Aiiiiiieee!>>
<Rahne> Summon Undine to fill up this pit with water, and swim across?  Or turn it all to ice?
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! »
* Chrys follows Roric. "It's either in a bedroom or the kitchen. Rahne, Tori, Niki! Go get the guard!
<Chrys> Rhi, help me and Roric!
* Rhiana nods, "Might as well."
* Cody quickly puts the key into the door and opens it slowly, "..."
* Roric steps out onto the Balcony, looking for a window that corresponds with the room Cody's entering.
<GMStoren> Tori nods and goes to find the guard, dragging Niki otu before she tries anythign stupid like jumping spikey pits of doom.
* Rahne balks at Chrys.. * Goddess.. I can't abandon the mansion.. I'd rather find another way..
* Chrys nods. "Then help. Tori and Niki are competant."
<Cody> «ooc: I've come to save...the princess Rachel! »
<Rhiana> «ooc: bwhahaa..the old Midnight Express Theme »
* Roric pulls some tools from his pack, along with a rope of familiar green, and begins slowly, with the utmost caution, working his way across the fractured stone wall of the house.
<Rhiana> Get a ladder or something
* Chrys goes downstairs, figuring there might be a dumbwaiter or somesuch in the kitchen...
* Rahne takes one last glance at Cody, whispering under her breath.. * Be safe...
* Rahne goes back out into the hall, glancing up, looking for an attic entryway.. *

<Rhiana> «ooc: How's the music? »
<Cody> «ooc: I will ^^ For the three songs I have, I like it. »
<GMStoren> The group rushes to find difefent ways to get at the sealed room while Cody turns the key, and arrives into the adjoining room...
<Rhiana> «ooc: Uematsu shoulda done the movie's score too »
<Roric> «ooc: it'd be funny if the key got lost and he was stuck over on a tiny scrap of floor with nowhere to go. »
<Rhiana> «ooc: A land shark gag would be funny right about now too »
<GMStoren> The room stinks of dried blood, seeming like a cell with it's enclosure. The walls are a dull, lifeless grey and there are no windows. The room holds an atmosphere of fear and hatred, almost palpable to the touch. Further examination serves to uncover a makeshift cot, three crates side by side with a blanket tossed over the tops. The blanket is torn in places and there are flecks of a rusty colored fluid on the fabric.

<Rachel> <<....brb. -_->>
<GMStoren> A small overhead latern swings on the cieling, shifting the shadows so you can see the person huddled in the corner. It is rachel, clad only in the strips of cloth torn from the blanket. She is gazing at the ground by her foot, where a puddle of blood is forming, from a gash in her ankle.
<Roric> «ooc: Ah, danke »
<Cody> «ooc: Er...wait till Rachel gets back :) »
<GMStoren> You can see it's a knife slash, accompanied by the harsh marks of a whip strike across her back... There are several more ugly wounds, most noticably one on her stomach, her right bicep twice, her left forearm, her collarbone and her cheek. Her neck is bruised as if she has been choked.

<Cody> Roric, I fucking adore you now!
<GMStoren> Why Kane though? ^^
<Cody> Inside joke ;)
<Cody>  Quote #251 Demonmaster Kane was alone, walking slowly through #RPGCAFE, thinking of Crack Jordan and stroking his demon sword against his chest. 'What if he hates me?' he thought. He had brought Crack Jordan pickles and parmesian cheese the previous evening, but Crack Jordan had only seemed embarrassed. 'If he only knew, I would give my depressing lifestyle just to sn

<GMStoren> ~~ RESUME ~~
<Cody> Rachel...oh my goddess no...
* Rachel doesn't move, doesn't even acknowledge Cody's words...
* Cody rushes towards her and leans down, and gently brushes his hand against her cheek, in a comforting way, "Rachel..."
<GMStoren> As Cody attempts to comfort Rachel, he hears a dull chink, and one of the dull walls near the crates slides open...
* Cody quickly turns around, hand on the hilt of the sword, "..."
<GMStoren> In the opening appears none other than her blonde tormenter, Kurik.
-nurv.on.ca.lunarnet.org:@#pureland- Rachel invited Kurik into channel #pureland.
*** Kurik (unf@stj163.nf.sympatico.ca) has joined #pureland

*** Cody sets mode: +o Kurik
<Kurik> ...get away from her.
<GMStoren> « that was slick ^^ »
<Cody> So you can beat her sensless...I think not...This is disgusting, and low...even for you.
* Rachel raises her head and inhales sharply, pressing herself against the corner, trying to disappear into it...
<GMStoren> « :( »
* Kurik narrows his eyes, seeming calm otherwise... "Much like coveting another man's property...such as his wife. That's very disgusting too."
<GMStoren> « btw, if anyone doing anything of note.. please msg me.. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: I'm doing what I was doing before. ^_^ »
<Cody> She doesn't love you. How could she? This is not love...this isn't power, it's cowardice, You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
<Rahne> << Just making my way to that room some other way..  and when I get there.  I'm gonna stab Kurik in the back of his head with my spear while he's distracted. ^_^ >>
<Cody> I'm freeing her. WHat she does afterwards is entirely her choice...
* Kurik curls his lip and takes a step forward, fingering a dagger at his belt.... "Really. And what you have is love, little man? Do you really think she loves you?"
<Cody> «ooc: BRB »
<Kurik> <<Heh! I can rant insanely now!>>
<GMStoren> « rant rant rant »
<Kurik> And she has no choice, little man. She's -mine-. Or did you fail to notice my skillful branding?
<Cody> «ooc: back »
<Cody> She's not some piece of meat, you fucking bastard. She's a person. She has a heart and soul. Have you ever sat down and actually talked to her? Or is shedding her blood the first thing you DID every day?
<Roric> «ooc: Kurik and the Bloody Mistress should totally get together. »
* Kurik smirks a little and melodramatically places a hand over his lips. "Now now...let's not point fingers. Besides, why should I talk to someone so....weak?"
<Cody> ...Weak? 
<Cody> Heh, look in the mirror.
<Kurik> Your words lack anything of merit, little boy. So run on home. She stays with me. I'm quite amused, actually, for we did have somewhat of a little talk earlier...funny you should mention talking to her.
<Rachel> <<*rubs her hands together and giggles gleefully*>>
<Cody> Oh did you? Did you have this discussion while beating her? And you took that as TRUTH? 
* Kurik takes two more steps forward, getting close to Cody... "Actually, it was more like she was screaming....and I was telling her nobody could hear her...she screams really well...but I doubt you would know, on any level."
<GMStoren> « ogh. :o »
<Cody> I'm very glad I don't know. I don't ever want to see her screaming in pain.
<Chrys> «ooc: ...You left yourself open for that.. »
<Cody> «ooc: ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: ... »
* Cody raises the Mana sword in defense, glaring, "..."
* Kurik stamps his foot and laughs lowly as Rachel jerks back hard against the wall. "Funny, I prefer to call it pleasure...but whatever. This is pointless. Leave my home."
<Cody> No.
* Kurik narrows his eyes once more and draws the dagger, waving it warningly.. "I really don't know why you're bothering so much over one woman...what good is she to you? Hmm?"
<Cody> I love her. I want to see her safe. That's enough.
<Cody> I'd die for her...would you do the same?
<Chriswizard> «ooc: Hey Lucca, you have BubbleGum Crisis too? :) »
<Cody> «ooc: nope ^^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: No, but I could send it to her. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: IT's on now :D »
<Chrys> «ooc: too bad. SoM's on now. ;) »
<Kurik> The way I see it, boy, you're going to have to die for her...and everyone else. Planning to leave her lonely? Or do you have your little friends to keep her warm at night?
<Chriswizard> «ooc: I know ;_; Sucks. »
<Kurik> <<*preens* I wuv evil.>>
* Cody looks slightly hurt by the comment. Slightly, but then goes back to his determined look, "I don't own her. You took away her right to choose. Because you feel she is weak. You're weak for taking that choice. Today, I'm going to give her back her freedom that you stole."
<Roric> «ooc: Niki should appear and kill Kurik to ruin Cody's moment,. »
<Cody> «ooc: taking away, even ^^ »
* Kurik smirks good naturedly and swipes at Cody's face cleanly with the dagger....a warning swipe. He drops back, laughing. "Fool. You'll give her nothing but pain."
<Cody> Like you're not giving her pain now?...are you that warped that you don't see how much she fears you...how much pain you bring her?
<Cody> «ooc: Did he actually cut me? ^^; »
* Kurik , for the first time, looks truly angry....he growls. "She is WEAK! You idiot. Pain will make her strong...will mold her into someone stronger! Someone more fitting to be my wife! Someone more....perfect."
* Kurik purrs the last word...
<Rachel> <<No. :)>>
<GMStoren> Kurik's dagger never reaches Cody's face... for as it scrapes his skin it seems to turn to stone.
<Rachel> <<See? ^^>>
<Kurik> ..?!
*** Blaze (capote824@12.126.154.78) has left #pureland
<Cody> Perfection is not through fear, you idiot! Perfection is not through tourturing others. Strength is not just through phsyical merits...it comes from the heart as well. 
<Cody> There is no such thing as true perfection anyway. You are REALLY far from perfection yourself, actually.
* Kurik glares at Cody, dropping the dagger.. "Shut UP! You know NOTHING of perfection! You little would be hero! In the end, you'll die like everyone else!"
<Cody> ...And you do? You know, it's really, REALLY sad that -I- have to give you a moral message your DAD should have given you.
<Kurik> ....
* Kurik stands still, hands clenched white...
<Chrys> «ooc: Ow. ^_^ "It's super effective! Kurik fainted! Use next Pokémon?" ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: That hit a nerve. Wee! »
<Cody> ...Did I hit a nerve? 
<Kurik> Don't presume to know what my father did or did not teach me, wretched boy...
<Cody> Don't persume you know what Rachel needs just because you deem it so.
<Cody> Let her go. Now.
<Chrys> «ooc: ...presume. »
<Kurik> Never.
<Cody> «ooc: ... ;_; »
* Rachel whimpers...
<Chrys> «ooc: *huggled Cody* »
<Cody> Have you asked her what she wants without you resorting to fear tactics?
<Cody> Why do you think she RAN from you? 
<Roric> «ooc: It'd be so hilarious if they learned to become a normal couple with Cody's counselling. »
<Roric> «ooc: Sorry, but...it would. »
<Cody> «ooc: Hehehe. »
<GMStoren> « lol »
<Chrys> «ooc: Yes, but it'd never happen. ;) »
<Kurik> Another weakness. Running. Another thing to be beaten from her. Are you asking me to let her -ask- her what she wants? As if it really matters.
<Cody> Yes, it matters.
<Rachel> <<...fucked up.>>
<Rachel> <<...too tired to fix that.>>
<Chrys> «ooc: <Cody> Well, today's our final day of counseling. After this, you won't need my he*turns into a tree* <Kurik> ...You bitch, I hate you. <Rachel> ;_; »
* Cody raises his sword, "Maybe I should drop you down a few pegs so you can finally listen, eh?"
<Cody> «ooc: That's it. He's dead :D »
* Kurik laughs lowly and spreads his arms. "Are you going to kill me now? Hmm? When I haven't attacked you? That's what they call murder...and I believe you might have some problems if you do that."
<GMStoren> The sword seems to pulse with energy as Cody brandishes it, like it too shares his feelings about it's master.
<Rachel> .....
<Cody> You've already tried to murder Rachel once, and you're attempting to do it again...you think I'm just gonna walk away and let you continue?
<Kurik> Alright, little man. Go ahead. Kill me. You'll find it quite the insatiable hobby.
<Cody> . o O ( ...How much longer do I have to stall him...? )
<Rachel> <<I love this. I love it. Hahahaha. Oh god, joygasm.>>
<Chriswizard> «ooc: joygasm? O_o »
* Cody keeps his eyes trained on Kurik, and reaches down to Rachel, pulling off his shawl and gently wrapping it around her body.
<GMStoren> « shall I? :) »
* Cody looks up to Kurik, "You're not worth it."
<GMStoren> Suddenly, from behind Kurik there's the noise of weapons behind drawn...
* Rachel huddles into the shawl...
<Kurik> ...
* Kurik looks over his shoulder...
<GMStoren> « er being »
* Cody looks up.
<GMStoren> « alright, kick his ASS! ^^ »
<Roric> I think you had better leave, Kurik.
<GMStoren> Kurik finds Rahne, Chrys, and Roric staring at him from the other side of the open panel.
* Chrys grins, twirling a dagger as he advances. "So, Kurik. Looks like the cleanup squad has come. Cody's here to help Rachel, and we're here to make sure he's not messed with."
* Rahne stands there, her ears folded back, tail flicking in anticipation, and spear at the ready.. *
* Kurik scowls.. "Ah...the rat woman, drunkard and thief...."
<Roric> «ooc: You know, he's not allowed to die unless he falls in his spike pit. It's the Ironic Villain Death Rule. »
<GMStoren> « haha ^^ »
<Cody> You can't fight us all, Kurik.
<Chrys> He won't have to.
* Chrys suddenly leaps at the man without pretext, stabbing Kurik in the chest before he has a chance to react!
<Roric> You wound me. I'm...*blinks a bit as Chrys leaps ahead* Okay...
<Roric> Let's do THAT then.
* Kurik inhales and growls, shoving Chrys off of him!...
* Rahne looks a bit taken aback by Chry's action, but quickly masks it.. *
* Kurik twirls and lunges at Cody, blood pouring from his wound!
<Kurik> DIE!
* Rahne attempts to intervene! *
<Rachel> ...Cody!!
* Roric pushes through the passage at the same time as Rahne, forcing both of them to struggle a little bit in the narrow corridor.
* Cody raises the Mana sword, ready to parry!
* Chrys tosses his other dagger, whooshing dangerously close to Roric and Rahne as it imbeds itself in Kurik's side!
* Kurik leaps onto the sword, letting it slide through his gut! He grabs Cody's neck and squeezes madly through the death haze!
<Chrys> NO! Don't drag them into this!
<Cody> Ghnnn-!
<GMStoren> Kurik desperately dives for Cody, fileld with rage... and in his furious and final action, he garbs the shoudlers of Cody harshly, only to find that he has a sword in his gut.
<Kurik> <<His neck, love. ;)>>
<GMStoren> « neck.. o_o »
<Cody> «ooc: Squeezey ^^ »
<GMStoren> « sorry ^^ »
* Kurik squeezes as hard as he can....only to find his strength fading..
* Kurik chokes and releases Cody's neck..
* Chrys wipes the blood off the one dagger still in his hand. "Funny, he bled like a normal person...I wonder why he was so fucked up..."
* Cody pants sofly for breath, looking at Kurik in what appears to be a mixture of both hatred and pity.
<Kurik> Rr...ghhh....r...Ra....Rachel...
* Kurik looks past Cody...
* Rachel meets Kurik's eyes...
* Roric slides past the melee to the cot. "Rachel...are you okay?"
<Rachel> ...
* Rachel turns and buries her face in Roric's shoulder, clinging to him..
<Kurik> ...h...hn..
* Kurik pushes himself off the sword and slides to the ground...
* Roric inhales and exhales, slowly, putting an arm around her since it seems the only thing to do.
<Roric> We're getting out of here.
* Cody inches back towards Rachel.
<Cody> Please, Roric, let me...
* Roric nods.
<GMStoren> The two meet gazes for an instant, before Kurik feels the last of his strength fade, his blood mixing on the floor with his wife's.
<Roric> You did a good job.
<Cody> Thanks...
* Chrys laughs harshly at the whole situation and pulls his other dagger out of the dead man's side. He places a hand on Cody's shoulder. "Kid, I swear to god if you EVER do that to ANYONE else I will never forgive you. Don't sink to my level."
* Rahne eyes the broken body of Kurik warily as the others are reunited.. *
* Kurik remains staring at Rachel...but the gaze turns glassy. He is dead.
* Cody blinks a bit at Chrys' outburst, "I just stalled for time. Seemed to have worked..."
*** Kurik (unf@stj163.nf.sympatico.ca) Quit (Quit: WEE! I'M DEAD! :D)
<Cody> «ooc: LOL »
<GMStoren> « LOL »
<Rachel> ....
* Chrys wipes off the dagger and resheathes it, going back through the easiest way - the attic from whence Rahne came. "I mean stabbing him, you naive little twerp."
<Cody> I meant that. Just...go and angst in a corner or something. Geez.
<Roric> Let him be, Cody.
<Roric> We've all had a bit of a day.
* Cody nods, "I know..."
* Rachel tries to avoid looking at Kurik, turning to bury her face in Cody's chest, hugging him tight...
* Roric chuckles drily, an insincere rattle in the back of his throat, and steps out of the room.
* Rahne kneels down, closing the vacant eyes of the dead man before retreating back a safe distance.. *
* Cody 's face softens and he holds Rachel with an amazing amount of tenderness, "C'mon...ready to go...It's safe now. You're safe..."
<Chrys> «ooc: Rahne, that has got to be the creepiest thing you've ever done. »
<GMStoren> « mm.. I was going to say ^^ »
<Rahne> << Having dead people staring at you is wrong. ;_; >>
<GMStoren> « This is a serious moment though. i won't candy coat it. »
<Chriswizard> «ooc: ^_^; »
<Roric> «ooc: Suddenly Cody turns into a SNOWMAN! »
<Cody> «ooc: :o »
* Rachel doesn't respond....but loosens her hold slightly, looking blank, and leans against Cody as she staggers a little to the door..
<Cody> No...no...don't walk...
* Cody gently picks her up into his arms.
<Cody> Roric...can you lead the way out of here?
* Roric nods. "This way..."
<GMStoren> Chrys finds he loses a certain companion as he flees, namely Emerald, who trails back to the cell. "I've seen some sick thigns... but I never knew..."
* Rachel inhales softly and there is a quick look of terror before she clamps down on it, closing her eyes and just burrowing her way into his hold.
<Roric> Let's meet back up with Rhi...and get the hell out of this house.
* Cody nods slowly, "She needs to be cared to right away...she's not out of the woods yet."
<Roric> The hospitals will be clogged with the dead and wounded after this earthquake. We should take her to the castle. They likely have a private physician.
<Cody> No...
<Cody> Not the castle.
<Roric> «ooc: I'm leading them to wherever, BTW. »
<Roric> B...all right then.
<Cody> ...I have supplies at my home in Kippo. Perhaps there? It'll be quiet...
<GMStoren> « need to end soon.. »
<Roric> I think...we could all use some quiet.
<Cody> Then let's head there right away.
* Roric continues on in silence.
* Cody follows Roric.
<Roric> «ooc: Wah. Kuriiiik. ;_; »
* Rahne trails along after the two.. *
<Rachel> <<Heh!>>
* Rachel just....doesn't move...
* Cody holds her tight, comfortingly.
<Rachel> <<Where is Tori when you need a witty closing line? ^^>>
<Chrys> «ooc: In Hawaii. »
<GMStoren> « ^^; »
<Cody> «ooc: I want to be there ;_; »
<Rachel> <<Mm...hula girls....er.>>
<Roric> <Tori> And the bartender said..."why the long face"? ...heh...eh...get it...because he's a horse...see, and horses have...oh fuck you.
<Roric> --SESSION END--
<Rachel> <<O_O>>

<GMStoren> The small group exits the distrubing room and rejoins the waiting outside before the authorities can collect themselves... and soon depart once again fro the small bvillage of Kippo.
<Rachel> <<Fro! Muh fro!>>
<GMStoren> The deceased Kurik is left in the ruins of his desire, wallowing in the one thing he has always feared. Being alone - and being weak.
