*** GMStoren changes topic to '-= Chapter 60: The Mission of Mana | Location: Mirror Holyland, Sanctuary of Shadows | 959 £ =- '
<GMStoren> ~~ SESSION START! ~~
<GMStoren> Last we left the party, they had sought shelter from the cruel cold within an unlikely place, beset upon by the first of no doubt many of Chaos's servants lieing in wait for them within this old temple of the Thanatos Cult.
<GMStoren> The torches burn eerily blue on the walls, giving off phantasmal light, one that highlights a stair leading further down into the dark clositers of this place.
<GMStoren> The statues of grotesque monsters fortunately only stare at you silently bearing witness.
*** AshAFK is now known as Chrys
<Chrys> «ooc: Just in time! I think. Let me re-wake up and stuph »
<GMStoren> « yep. :) »
* Roric uses the blue torch on the wraith!
<Roric> «ooc: .....OOC. Doh »
<Cody> «ooc: ...ENERGY ARROW :| »
<GMStoren> « kills Roric. This is not Shadowgate! :) »
<Cody> «ooc: ...Only Ash will understand that. And Ny. »
<Chrys> «ooc: And Storen. »
<Chrys> «ooc: And possibly Heather. »
<GMStoren> [Kyle] Well at least it's warm in here. But I really gotta give the decorator a piece of my mind... are we all alright?
<Cody> «ooc: Oh yes, and Storen. And possibly He---game now! »
<GMStoren> « heh. ^^ »
<Cody> I'm okay. It was weird though...it's like these guys just...dissapeared somehow!
<Roric> Let's just keep moving.
<Rachel> Good plan.
*** Ny|Away is now known as Ny
* Ny is back { BRB } [Gone for: 38mins 15secs]
* Chrys taps his foot, not wanting to dawdle too long. "Yeah, the 'not freezing to death' part is a definite plus, Ky. Let's keep going."
*** Ny is now known as Niki
<Cody> Yeah...
* Roric 's face is set in a rigid mask of determination. A faint green aura seethes around him as he strides through the darkened halls.
* Rachel brushes off her unease and takes a deep breath, following Roric closely..
* Chrys follows after Roric, not quite as determined-looking, and definitely not glowing green.
<Roric> «ooc: Hmm. No Baha? »
* Cody blinks at Roric's aura, but sighs, and hurries after the group.
<Niki> «ooc: He said he might not be able to make it. »
<GMStoren> Rahne is munching on a Faerie walnut in the background, winded from her exertion for the moment, followed closely by the rest. It's not far before you're on the stair, as you see it's littered with bones in places.
<GMStoren> « Yeah :/ »
* Roric kicks the bones from his path without breaking pace.
* Niki trots along.
<GMStoren> It's hard to descend down into the dark depths without stepping on a stray fragment of a femur and some other less human things. Roric kicks a skull and it goes rolling down the stairs in silence, cracking against a stone landing at the bottom.
<Roric> «ooc: I think I still have that femur in my inventory. Whee. »
<Chrys> «ooc: *steps on a stray fragment of a lemur* »
<GMStoren> « actually I thought of that ^^ »
* Niki continues to walk down, saying 'crunch' everytime she steps on a bone.
<Roric> «ooc: *attaches the Mana Orb to the femur to form the staff needed to destroy Entropy* »
<Rachel> ...
* Cody closes his eyes, then opens them, determined.
<Cody> . o O ( Gotta do this... )
<GMStoren> Getting your bearings, you find you are in some sort of altar. It's disturbingly familiar to the one Cody was on in fact. You can see some kind of dark sacrfice was performed here at your best guess, as the bones are all that's on the slab in front of mural of Entropy.
* Chrys sighs a little. Between Roric's 'marching to our doom' seriousness and Niki's 'whee, crushing bones is fun' innocence, it's starting to irk just a little.
<Roric> «ooc: ...hee hee. I love you, Ashton. »
<Roric> «ooc: Uhm. Ahem. Serious. Yes. »
* Roric runs two fingers across the cold stone of the altar, cutting a long line through the aeons-old dust.
<GMStoren> It's etched into the stone... her shielding herself from a bright light in the form of a sword intertwined with a Tree.
<Rachel> Hmph..
<Chrys> «ooc: <Entropy> Phallic...imagery...is too...much! Uwaahhhghhhhh! »
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh! That gave me sexual imagry of Cody and Rachel all intertwined. »
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh! And I was not alone! »
<Rachel> <<Ditto.>>
<Chrys> «ooc: You owe me a beer, Cody »
<Cody> «ooc: Kay. »
<GMStoren> « don't worry.. I was already doing that ^_^ »
<Chrys> «ooc: Or maybe just sex and chocolate »
<Chrys> «ooc: ... »
<Cody> «ooc: Agh, FUCK. I forgot to take my hormone pill. BB in a few. »
* Tori looks at the mural.
<Tori> Well....that's -kind- of comforting.
<Roric> «ooc: Any obvious paths from here? »
<GMStoren> There's what appears to be two more etherial gates in this room, on both sides of the altar, leading.. somewhere... they look a lot more solid than the previous ones. More like normal doors.
<Roric> «ooc: ...doh »
<Rachel> Yeah, if you ignore the bones and stains.
<Roric> «ooc: *takes one path and sends Joch down the other* »
<GMStoren> It probably goes deeper into this twisted shrine.
* Roric quickly scans each portal for signs.
<Chrys> «ooc: It'd be funny if we did that and Joch got all the best equipment in the game »
<Roric> «ooc: ...er. Signs like clues. Not "ENTROPY THIS WAY" »
* Chrys studies the mural, looking for clues on how to truly defeat Entropy.. if there are any such.
* Rachel glances back and forth between the gates..
<GMStoren> None seem to hold immediate danger. The left path shows a twisting catacomb, and the right one seems to lead to... a garden?
<Chrys> «ooc: Go for the catacombs! »
* Roric heads right.
* Chrys cautiously follows Roric.
<Rachel> Hrm...
*** Dill (~htjones@pc3-cove1-5-cust124.bir.cable.ntl.com) has joined #Pureland
* Rachel points towards the catacombs.
<Rachel> Bet that holds zombies.
* Rachel heads for the garden.
<Niki> Zombies?
<Niki> I bet their heads would blow up cool.
* Niki goes left.
<GMStoren> [Kyle] Well I guss a garden's better than that.
<Cody> You know...is this really the right way? The gardens seem like some sort of trap. You know..."Ooh! It's pretty! I bet that's safe!" And it really the wrong way, yanno?
<Cody> ....
<Cody> Or I could just follow like a sheep. Yeah.
* Rachel chuckles. "I'd rather fight crazy plants than zombies." ^^;
<Cody> How do you know?
* Roric drily replies, "I fight better outdoors," passing through the doorway.
<Niki> «ooc: * Niki finds an item box. She places all of her equipment in the box and does the Grenade Launcher glitch and is now loaded with a 240 incindary grenade launcher. :D »
<Rachel> For one, crazy plants probably don't have that really grimace worthy smell of rotting flesh. 
<Cody> But...!
<Cody> ...
<Chrys> «ooc: Which doorway? »
<Cody> Okay, fine.
<Cody> We'll get there no matter what.
<Roric> «ooc: Right. To My Secret Garden. »
* Chrys stops right before the door.. "I'm not gonna leave Roric alone. Not when he's like this. I hope you understand, guys."
* Chrys steps through the right door as well.
<Chrys> «ooc: Right. Got confused, thought Right was catacomb. »
* Cody heads back to gently nudge Niki to the right door, "Sorry, everyone's going this way..."
<Niki> So.
* Niki goes left. ^_^
<Chrys> «ooc: *facepalm* That's Niki for you. »
<Niki> Zombies sound like fun. :D
<Tori> Yeah. Zombies in the dark. Whee.
<GMStoren> With most of the group heading right, you find the scenery rippling and shifting around you. You are now in a room not unlike the temple, but now it is a bit like an indoor conservatory. There are plants all over, hanging from the cieling in black golden pots and crawling along the floor in a lush carpet. the walls are open, to allow sunlight in... but you soon notice the fact the only thing coming in is rays of darkness. Come to think of it these plants seem to have a very odd tint to their leaves.
<Roric> Ghaleon used to take me on walks in the garden in Vane. I can't believe he's become this twisted monster I hardly know!
*** TrueBlue (trueblue@usercom.lunarnet.org) Quit (Ping timeout)
<Cody> «ooc: ...HAHAH! »
<Cody> «ooc: Roric is possessed by the spirit of Mia Ausa. »
<Rachel> << ROTFL>>
<GMStoren> « ack ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: Er. Ignore that. »
<Chrys> «ooc: Stor: "rays of darkness. C" »
* Rachel idly looks back towards the others that have lingered behind. ^^;
<Cody> «ooc: Darkness in C Major! »
<GMStoren> Come to think of it these plants seem to have a very odd tint to their leaves...
<Chrys> ...Wow, look. Cody was right. How convenient.
* Chrys makes a disgusted face and draws his daggers warily.
<GMStoren> Cody and Roric and Niki get a slight shiver at what life in eternal night is like for these creatures.
<Niki> «ooc: I went left! »
<Rachel> <<Niki's not there. She's being difficult.>>
<Chrys> «ooc: Majority ruling, I think »
<GMStoren> « sorry, if you choose everyone warps... ^^ »
<Rachel> <<HAHAHA! YAY >D>>
<GMStoren> « it's whoever hits something first. »
<Cody> «ooc: PLUCK YOU »
<Chrys> «ooc: Aka the left way went "NO" and yoinked you over here »
<Niki> «ooc: But you said 'most of the group' ;_; »
<Rachel> <<Too bad! Evil plants for you!>>
<GMStoren> [Kyle] This is disgusting... :/
* Roric 's brow furrows, and he pauses a moment to gather his composure. After a moment, he presses on through the oily, sickly verdure.
<Chrys> What do you expect? We're getting closer to you-know-who.
* Cody looks very disturbed, considering before all of this mana-hubbub, he used to work with plants and tend gardens.
* Niki walks up....behind the plants in question. "Uhh, what? I was walking to the zombies. What happened? And man this plant is messed up."
* Rachel grimaces a bit and casts Kyle a look, unused to knowing Keylia as Kyle. ^^; She then looks to Cody to cast him a reassuring smile before continuing on..
* Rachel idly unhooks her shield from her back, however..
*** TrueBlue (trueblue@usercom.lunarnet.org) has joined #Pureland
* Chrys picks up the pace a little, matching Roric now that the latter is disgusted by plants and whatnot. "If you're lucky, Niki, they're zombie plants." He makes another disgusted face and hopes he isn't right.
<Niki> Thats not as fun.
<GMStoren> You are definitely being watched, that is for sure. You almost hear a tortured cry for every vine you rend in your forward progress.
<Cody> «ooc: Vine: Ow! Bitches! Vine2: Oh, my spleen! Vine3: You snogheads! Vine4: I'm hot. :| Vine5: Wanna get a beer? OW MY FACE »
<Niki> Hmm
* Niki approaches one of the plants.
<Niki> This better not eat me.
<Rachel> Wonderful. Screaming vines.
<Cody> Niki...be careful.
<GMStoren> The brush soon becomes very thick. You think you can see a gate ahead, but it's hard goings getting through.
* Niki 's right hand glows a light green as she touches the plant. "Whats wrong?"
<Cody> They're not like the plants back home. They're...bad plants. Plants that come from the wrong side of the tracks! 
<Cody> ...
<Cody> Ahem, yes. Don't touch them.
* Roric silently slashes his way through the brush, oblivious to the ghostly moans of the dead plants.
<Niki> SHH!
<Niki> I'm trying to talk to it. :P
* Chrys stops and looks over his shoulder at Cody for a moment before shaking his head and continuing on.
<Cody> Uh...
* Rachel idly slows and looks back at Cody.
<GMStoren> Niki uses Green Voice. She hears a sad wailing as a bloom appears, in the form of a balck rose. It has a mouth in the certer.
<GMStoren> « er center »
<Rachel> <<* The rose eats Niki's face!>>
* Cody hurries to the rest of the group.
<Rachel> 'Wrong side of the tracks'?
<Cody> ...I'm under a lot of pressure? ^^;
<GMStoren> [Rose] Go baaaaack... unless you want to be doomed tooo...
<Niki> ...
<Niki> Doomed by what?
* Rachel chuckles a little despite the situation and nudges Cody gently before heading onwards.
<Cody> «ooc: Rose: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeee's Johnnnnnnny! »
* Roric spits harshly, sheathing the boomerang and whipping out his hunting knife to cleave a path through the tangle.
<Niki> «ooc: >> The Short Circuit robot jumps out of the rose. »
* Chrys shakes his head and taps Roric on the shoulder.
* Tori rests his hand on Ballad and hangs back, waiting on Niki.
<Roric> «ooc: Can we please limit the OOC humour to jokes that don't suck? »
<Cody> «ooc: Ahem, thanks Roric :p »
<Chrys> «ooc: Like that'll happen. »
<GMStoren> [Rose] There is no rest this way, only great evil! We are slaves to it, and you will be too
*** DooM_GazE is now known as Away
<Niki> What happened then?
*** Away is now known as DooM_Away
<GMStoren> [Rose] Entropy has locked us here as punishment. an example.. our souls... to watch over the sleeping demon.
<Niki> So you have to tell him that we are coming?
<Niki> Or can you just not say anything...
<GMStoren> [Rose] If you keep cutting he will awaken... unless you think you.. can free us...
<Niki> I want to help.  What can I do?
<GMStoren> [Rose] If you beat him, we can help you on your way to her. but if you lose, it can be only doom for your quest.
<Niki> Who's him?
<GMStoren> Roric continues hacking away... and finally makes more progress..
<GMStoren> The gate is cleared. Through it you see... a sleeping rabite.
* Roric switches to the other arm, exhausted from the constant slashing. He blinks several times at the rabite. "Hmph. That can't be it..."
<Rachel> ...
<GMStoren> It has a blackish tint to it's fur, but it snoozes with almost inanely cute gusto amidst all the depressing chaos.
<Rachel> See, now I'm worried.
<Niki> «ooc: Answer my question you lame rose! :D »
<Cody> Hey...I've never seen a black rabite before.
* Roric shoves his way through the remaining tatters, ignoring the rabite as he heads toward the gate.
<GMStoren> [Rose] Oh no... he's going to awaken... it's doom for us all...
<Niki> ...
* Niki turns to Tori. "We need to hurry."
<Niki> Something is going to wake up and we need to kick its butt.
* Niki turns to the path that has been so made by Roric and starts to run.
* Tori nods and hurries rushes towards the others.
* Niki turns back as she runs. "Thanks!"
<Tori> <<...>>
<Niki> «ooc: turns her head back that is. »
<Niki> «ooc: To the rose. ^; »
<Tori> << -rushes>>
<GMStoren> « oh boy. ^^ »
<GMStoren> Niki runs on, catching up to Roric, who's already activated the gate. You all begin to end up in a circular chamber filled with black roses. The sleeping tiny rabit makes a snort as it feels it's room disturbed.
<Niki> WAIT!!!
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-= Chapter 60: The Mission of Mana | Location: Mirror Holyland, Black Rabite Den | 959 £ =- '
<Cody> What the?! O_o
* Roric stumbles backward, disoriented. "...dammit. Caught me by surprise..."
<GMStoren> It blinks and pulls it's stubby arms off of over it's eyes.
<GMStoren> [Black Rabite] ...? ...!
<Rachel> ...
<Cody> ...Oh no.
<GMStoren> [Kyle] Oh shit... this thing's aura is off the scale.. o_O
<Niki> Its to late...
<Rachel> The irony of being attacked by a rabite isn't lost on me..
* Roric sticks the knife in his belt and draws his boomerang. "Not. Impressed."
* Rachel tugs her sword free and eyes the rabite.
<Niki> I'm gonna kick its butt and help out everyone here.
<GMStoren> In a instant the tubby black terror leap up and flies about the room angrily! "Nyeeeee!!!!" >:E
<Cody> Whoa! O_o
<Niki> «ooc: Ping me shall you DooM?! You can't play me today! :D »
* Cody ducks so that the rabite doesn't hit him!
<GMStoren> Fortunately it misses your necks unlike a certain other band of adventueres who have fought a simialr creature in other realities... but it still looks pissed.
<GMStoren> « hahah :D »
<GMStoren> >> Battle vs The Black Rabite!
<GMStoren> « I sure hope you guys are happy.. you made all the choices. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Hey, if the party LISTENED to Cody ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: Yay! I was trying to find this thing. »
<Chrys> «ooc: ... »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh, then that's different, Ror ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: Didn't want to fight zombies huh Rachel. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: ..Thanks Niki. ;) »
<Cody> ...Soo...Didn't want to fight the zombies, Rachel? ^_-
* Cody looks good natured for a moment, then gets serious.
<Roric> Let's make this fast. We have bigger fish to fry.
<Tori> Exactly. Less banter, more atacks on fuzzy, nameless evil.
* Rachel chuckles a little under her breath, loud enough for Cody to hear.. "Just like outside of Kippo."
<Roric> «ooc: I vote for Windwalker/FB for Rahne. »
<GMStoren> >> The black rabite bobs up and down, and then waddles over to Chrys... and exposes a set of disproportionately huge incisors, biting into him with unnatural ferocity! Chrys suffers 999 damage and falls like a carrot to the thing.
<Rachel> <<Oh jeez.>>
* Rachel wideyes.
<Cody> Chrys...! Holy...goddess!
<Dill> << o.O Wooo >>
<Rachel> ...okay, not EXACTLY like Kippo.
<Roric> Not...impressed.
<GMStoren> « well be gald it can't do that much else.. ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Tori's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: Lucid Barrier much? »
* Chrys just kind of falls over.
<Niki> Tastes like chicken?
<Cody> «ooc: Will that work, Stor? Lucid Barrier? ^^; »
<GMStoren> « yes. until i eat the barrier. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: It'll work against the attack. It might have another move. »
<Niki> «ooc: lol »
<Niki> «ooc: brb one sec. »
* Tori lines up a shot and fires on the demon!
<Cody> «ooc: brb »
<GMStoren> [Kyle] Now I know where I've seen this before... this nearly killed my sister's group when theyw ere going to finish off the prince of Darkness...
* Rachel hefts her shield slightly on one arm.. "Reassuring."
<GMStoren> >> Tori attacks! His bullets bounce off relatively harmlessly, unlike the usual soft plush rabite skin. 45 damage!
<GMStoren> >> Charge at 1/6!
<GMStoren> >> Rahne's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: OK, charge attacks are the order of the day then. »
<Cody> «ooc: Windwalker/FB please :) »
<GMStoren> « righto. »
<Roric> «ooc: I would advise we not revive anyone until the FB triggers. At least, don't bother reviving beyond 1 HP, and *don't* use items. »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne casts Windwalker! She is Speedy! Rahne casts Final benediction over the group!
<Cody> «ooc: I was thinking of using dew of Yggdrasil, though »
<Cody> «ooc: But not till I LB »
<GMStoren> >> Kyle attacks... 93 damage.
<GMStoren> [Kyle] Well this rabite is going to take a helluva lot to bonk... ^^;
<GMStoren> >> Cody's turn.
<Cody> The arrows turn, the swords rebel, may nothing pierce this mortal shell!
* Cody draws his hands inward, creating a bubble of light between his hands. He then throws his hands outwards, and the bubble flies to its charge, expanding into a shimmering bubble of protective force!
*** Rachel is now known as fauxgothrachel
<GMStoren> >> The group is protected by a Lucid Barrier!
*** fauxgothrachel is now known as Rachel
<GMStoren> >> Niki's turn.
<GMStoren> « heh.. wanna pick a black rose? ^^ »
<GMStoren> « pokles.. »
<GMStoren> « all okay there Dek/Ash? »
<Cody> «ooc: Ash said he might fall asleep at the comp. I dunno about Dek »
<GMStoren> « passing then.. »
<Roric> «ooc: ...don't pass. »
<GMStoren> « well waiting anyway ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: We need all actions we can get. »
<Rachel> <<I say we vote for their actions too.>>
<Roric> «ooc: I would go for Nature's Anima on Niki. »
<Cody> «ooc: THat works »
<GMStoren> « very true. »
<GMStoren> >> Niki gets some help from nature... Nature's Anima kicks in!
<GMStoren> >> Chrys is KO'd... Roric's turn!
* Roric shoves his hand forcefully into the ground, passing through it up to the wrist as though it were quicksand. "The strong shall never fall!" He leaps to his feet. "I won't lose this battle!" A string of green light follows his hand. He touches his temples with his fingers, and the energy flows into him.
<GMStoren> « ye olde aura wave? »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh yeah. »
<GMStoren> >> Roric summons Aura wave.. he is at maximum charge level.
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
* Roric crackles with energy as the ancient Gemma art suffuses his body with the raw quintessence of mana.
<GMStoren> « Roric powaaa... ^^ »
* Rachel eyes the rabite and draws upon the power of Mana Knights before! Her sword sparks and glows with an ethereal mist as she gains extra bang for her buck! ¤ Strength Burn!
<Rachel> <<*snrk* Stupid hand typed attack. Dododoo.>>
<GMStoren> >> Rachel burns her defense into attack power! Defense is down 55, weapon power up 55!
<Roric> «ooc: O_o »
<Cody> «ooc: Well, I don't nessicarlly blame her when the rabite does 999 damage no matter what anyway :p »
<Rachel> <<Exactly. ^^;>>
<Roric> «ooc: If I can pull off three more actions I will rock the house. :D »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana's turn
<GMStoren> « anything specific? »
<Cody> «ooc: Hm. »
<GMStoren> « if you don't care about health i can ancient. »
<Cody> «ooc: What do you guys think? :) »
<GMStoren> The black rabite bounces about maliciously.
<Roric> «ooc: Ancient sounds good. »
<Cody> «ooc: Sounds good. »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana burns her own health into magical force to cast Ancient! The blackest arts assail the balck hearted creature for 456 damage. Still, a spell of that magnititude should have surely done more...
<Niki> «ooc: Sorry, Had to help outside with something real quick. »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana is now at 286/428.
<GMStoren> « we animaed you if that was okay ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Niki's charge icnerases to 3/6!
<Niki> «ooc: Okay, I was gonna use a self up move anyways. »
<GMStoren> >> The balck rabite looks at the party's barrier's and gets an evil glint in it's beady little red eye and sucks in the air in the room, groing to an enormous size... which it then makes a thunderous leap and crashesh on you all. :o
<Niki> «ooc: Namely Spirit Cleaver, but thats alright. »
<GMStoren> >> the barreir's shatter, though you are unharmed.. for now.
<GMStoren> >> Tori's turn.
<Rachel> ...that's a really big mean bunny.
<Cody> Oh no...
<Roric> ..hmph.
<GMStoren> « I made it do a kirby. kill me now. ^^ »
<TrueBlue> « OOC: If I had an o-line, I would. :) »
<Niki> «ooc: lol »
* Tori mutters and takes another shot at the spectre of fuzzy death.
<GMStoren> >> Tori lands another bullet in it's hide, though it nearly dodges. 49 damage. charge at 2/6.
<GMStoren> « er.. whoops »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne is speedy may act twice!
<GMStoren> « not like it's too big... orders? »
<Cody> «ooc: Power boosters may be nice. »
<GMStoren> « she's very low on mp. :/ »
<GMStoren> « only 4 right now. »
<Cody> «ooc: Eek. What do you guys think? »
<Niki> «ooc: Didn't you say she munched on a walnut before this fight? »
<Roric> «ooc: Dammit, not enough for Ghost Lance. »
<GMStoren> « yes, but they made her do FB and WW. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Oh. »
<Roric> «ooc: I guess an almond is unavoidable, then. »
<Cody> «ooc: Yep :/ »
<GMStoren> « 5 in stock.. gof or it? »
<Roric> «ooc: i would almond, then attack. That way her charge will max out. »
<GMStoren> « mmm. ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> rahne uses one turn to munch a Pixie Almond.. all Mp restored. The second that is done she attempts to skewer the rabite with the Gae Bolg!
<GMStoren> >> Unfortunately the lance cannot claim a victim quite so large... 9 damage. charge at 6/6!
<Roric> «ooc: *finishes up another one of his Ludicrously Huge Supermove Aliases* »
<GMStoren> >> Kyle shrugs and makes another go... but he misses by a hair. "So fast..."
<GMStoren> >> Cody's turn.
<Cody> «ooc: Hmm... »
<Cody> «ooc: What do you think I should do? ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: I'm going to see if I can draw its fire... »
<Roric> «ooc: I'm not sure how though. »
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh! You think FIre Broquet would work? »
<Roric> «ooc: ....nah. »
<Roric> «ooc: It's probably just hitting 999 as the max. »
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah, hmm, it IS a chaos being. Maybe potensa will work. »
<Roric> «ooc: You could just MP siphon if you want to play close to the chest. »
<Dill> << Cloak of Thorns? >>
<GMStoren> « somewhat inconsequential in this case. it will always deal 999 since it's weapon strength is sick. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh jesus, yeah. :D »
<Cody> «ooc: ...DIll, you're brillaint. »
<Cody> «ooc: Er, BUT. »
<Roric> «ooc: It'll probably break it on its next attack, but if it triggers even once that's good./ »
<Cody> «ooc: Acutually, fuck it. THat works »
<Cody> Of spires fine and green, I call upon the cloak of nature's spears to hide us from the ire of evil!
<Bahaway> ..
* Cody kneels to the ground, weaving ribbons of green energy in his hands. A single plant rises up from the ground, swelling quickly with magical energy. The blossoms of the plant bloom suddenly, sending out dozens of seed pods! Each pod buries into the ground, and explodes into a shield of thorns surrounding the party!
<Cody> «ooc: Er, Hi Baha :) »
<GMStoren> « hiyas. ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Cody shields the party with a Cloak of Thorns!
<GMStoren> >> Niki's turn.
<Niki> «ooc: Damn, wish I had my Spirit Cleaver active, then it would be fun. »
<Bahaway> << Hello.  I am home now.. yet. uh,, pretty fucking drunk.. :/ >>
<GMStoren> « ack.. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh god, Baha has to call me now! ;) »
<Katt> <<hey, I can speak! :P>>
<GMStoren> « hell yeah. after you bonk the Black rabite ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: RP anyway, Baha. :D »
<Niki> «ooc: What are the chances of it dying this round? ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: We wandered around until we found a Black Rabite uberboss and we're fighting it. »
<Bahaway> << Give me a moment, Luks...  afk.. -_-; >>
<GMStoren> « Niki - not a chance. :) »
<Niki> «ooc: Cool. »
<Katt> <<Use an Elixer on it!>>
* Niki looks at her ring as it glows. She places the tip of her ring to her axe.
* Niki closes her eyes as her axe begins to float in front of her. Three green orbs start to rotate around her as the axe rises in its height. The spirit orbs fly upwards and infuse themselves within the axe leaving an afterimage of Flora around the axe. Afterwards the axe drops to the ground.
* Niki picks up the axe with one hand, then picks up the aura that was surrounding the axe in her other hand.
<GMStoren> >> Niki's Spirit Cleaver grants an additional strike!
<GMStoren> >> Chrys is still stopping smel the roses... Roric's turn.
* Roric grips his fist tightly around the Druid Thorn. The edge slices into his palm, and blood runs down his hand and spatters against the ground. "I was hoping to save this...but there's no time like the present."
<Niki> «ooc: Somebody set us up the bomb? »
* Roric thrusts his boomerang into the air. A lightning bolt of crackling ivy snakes down from the darkness above, striking the boomerang with a flash of blinding light. The weapon spasms and flickers in his hand, growing into a long twin shaft of ancient, knotted wood. "Lost to the world, I call forth the final art of the Gemma. Goddess, in these final days, grant your humble servant the forgotten power of the avatar. Apocalypse Art: CHAOS BREAKER!
* Roric doubles over, clawing at his eyes. Shudders and jolts wrack his curled body as the souls of fallen heroes of endless bygone eras rush into him in a cascade of screaming light.
* Roric stands slowly, his weapon arm twitching uncontrollably as magic courses through it. Roric's eyes are gone, and the empty sockets are stuffed with golden pollen that drifts forth slowly on the wind. His battered jerkin dissolves into the wind, replaced by a glimmering mantle of emerald elfwood. Thorns pierce his pale flesh where curling vines run through his veins, and the thin lines of trickling blood form runes on his skin.
<GMStoren> « O_O »
<Cody> «ooc: Er, was it Roric's turn? ^^; »
<Cody> «ooc: Why yes. :D That is cool, then »
<GMStoren> « holy shit. that rules. ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Roric is transfigured by the blessings of the Chaos Breaker! Woe be to beings of the nothing that incur his ire...
* Roric draws a deep breath. "The blood is life." His voice is a thousand voices.
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: Now if I can just get it to HIT me »
* Cody wide-eyes at Roric's transformation. O_o
<Dill> << [GMStoren] That was cool, but it's not a Chaos creature. [Roric] D'oh! >>
<GMStoren> « sorry. everything here is chaos by rule. since they appear nowhere else.. ^^ »
* Rachel stares at Roric for a moment before lunging forth to attack the Rabite with a Sadistic Whisper, the blade sparking furiously with the extra power she has poured into it!
<Roric> «ooc: BRB »
<GMStoren> Kyle stares at Roric a long moment...
<Niki> «ooc: <Kyle> Why does he get all the cool moves? ;_; »
<GMStoren> >> rachel uses sadistic Whisper! With mind and body as one, she manages to put the first dent in the massive defense of the terror. 318 damage!
<GMStoren> « now for a physical on this def that's spiffy. »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana's turn.
<Cody> «ooc: doublecast something? ;) »
<GMStoren> « sure can try... »
<Dill> << Try and stun it? >>
<GMStoren> « The rabite on has one weakness.. and I'm not telling it. :) »
<Roric> «ooc: That'll never work. I'm using Paling next turn if I'm still alive, BTW »
<Cody> «ooc: Maybe try two different types of elementals, like light or something? »
<Niki> «ooc: Light seems to obivious. »
<Cody> «ooc: Then you pick, Niki ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: Lemme think. »
<Roric> «ooc: I doubt the weakness is an element. It's probably something weird like chibiko or instant death. »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
<Niki> «ooc: My mallets! ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: I would say Moon and...perhaps Wind. »
<Niki> «ooc: But Roric brings up a good point as well. »
<Cody> «ooc: Eh, it's all the woman can do, though. I say do moon and wind. »
<GMStoren> Kyle shakes his head, then concetrates on the fight again. .o( It's a bit too early to be thinking like that. )
<GMStoren> « okay. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Moon and wind think good. »
<Roric> «ooc: Kyle wants my body. :D »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana uses double summon! Casts Chaos Typhoon for 278 damage! Casts Little Shop of Horrors for 266 damage!
<Niki> «ooc: Little Shop of Horrors? »
<GMStoren> « erk.. ^^ »
<GMStoren> « I meant Thunderbolt. but it really is not a matter. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: OK, we can *slaughter* this thing if I pull off a paling. :D »
<Niki> «ooc: Then we know its not one of those 3 elements. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Well, that nukes three elements right there. :) »
<Roric> «ooc: That'll be 1000 damage a turn. »
<Roric> «ooc: Also, does anyone have any way to make it target me? »
<GMStoren> >> Niki's charge is at 4/6...
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
<Niki> «ooc: Ror: Not to my knowledge »
<GMStoren> « don't worry.. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Maybe jump out in front of it and yell out Ooga booga! »
<GMStoren> >> The black rabite looks upon the group with an intense kawaiii yet evil blood red aura, preparing something next turn... >:E
<Roric> «ooc: I hope this thing has a bit of life left. I have plans. :D »
<Dill> << Gayo : Please don't say that. It's tempting fate. >>
<Niki> «ooc: *grabs the Home Run Bat from Smash Brothers and smash attacks the rabite off the level. »
<GMStoren> >> In the meantime, 2 Black Roses spout up in forced enslavement to shield from melee strikes...
<Dill> << B.Rabite uses Rest. >>
<Niki> ...
<Niki> Hey!
<Cody> ...
<Niki> Don't do that!
<Rachel> ...
<GMStoren> >> Tori's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: Witching Hour! Bwahaha....er...no. Can we attack the roses? »
<GMStoren> « sure you can. »
<Niki> «ooc: Niki will try to stop you. ^^; »
<GMStoren> « think Seymour's annoying arms. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: But they're EVIL roses! »
<Niki> «ooc: Not to Niki. »
<Niki> «ooc: She knows they're enslaved people by the black rabite. ^^; »
* Tori grumbles and looks back and forth from the roses to Ballad.
<Tori> <<Hmm..tempted to give Witching Hour a go on the Rabite, just in case. Not much else he can do anyway.>>
<Niki> «ooc: Ghost Town! ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: j/k »
<Roric> «ooc: I doubt it'll work. Ghost Town'd be a better bet if you want to do something ludicrously unlikely. »
<Niki> «ooc: Almost positive Ghost Town will fail. »
<Niki> «ooc: Cuz of Storen's 'Not a chance' line to me. »
<Roric> «ooc: Like Witching Hour won't? »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
<Niki> «ooc: True »
<Dill> << Can't Tori shoot it? I'm it's ranged, ne? >>
<Roric> «ooc: Black Rabite joins the party! Kills Entropy in one hit! »
<Roric> «ooc: Melee attacks blocked atm. »
<Cody> «ooc: 10,000 angels might be nice ;) »
<GMStoren> « [Black Rabite] *eats Meira* *burps* >:E »
<Niki> «ooc: * The party cheers and throws a party for the Black Rabite. »
<Dill> << ... It's a GUN. Though Snap Judgment might be a little sick.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Actually, snap judgement should work »
<Roric> «ooc: If he uses Snap Judgment, I'd reccomend using it multi. »
<Cody> «ooc: Well, he could try ghost town! ;) Hehehhe. »
<GMStoren> « keylia's real easy to play without charges or magic. sigh. ;) »
<Tori> <<Nah, snap judgement. Might as well go with that instead of a what the hell casting.>>
<Roric> «ooc: Aw, she has no charges? I won't Aura Wave her then. »
<GMStoren> « nope, just consider it a free melee hit every turn. ^^ »
* Tori *¤*\ In a blurred motion, draws and fires at the - Justice, faster then the eye can see- SnapJudgement!/*¤*
<Tori> <<GRAH. "The enemy group.">>
<Dill> << Fire at the justice! >>
<Niki> «ooc: you killed justice! »
<Cody> «ooc: Chaos! »
<Tori> <<It ad it coming.>>
<Tori> <<...>>
<Tori> <<HAD>>
<Niki> «ooc: *patpats Tori* »
<Tori> <<Soda, I think. BRB>>
<GMStoren> >> Tori uses Snap Judgement! The bullets split in two to stag both of the Roses, but the damage manages to pass onto the black rabite as well despite that! each rose suffers 252 damage. Rabite suffers 266.
<GMStoren> « er tag »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne is speedy good. actions?
<Roric> «ooc: I could use a Herc. :D »
<Cody> «ooc: She could ghost lance too. »
<Roric> «ooc: Only if she does a spell first. Right now she's full. »
<Niki> Don't hit the roses!
<Cody> «ooc: Ah, right. »
<Dill> << Zone of Ab Fort? >>
<Roric> «ooc: And she should do it on the rose, since she can't hurt the rabite enough to get decent return. »
<Roric> «ooc: The Ab Fort, not available in stores! »

<GMStoren> « heh ^^ so then? »
<GMStoren> « herc Roric? »
<Dill> << Force a stat effect on it? >>
<Tori> I'm sorry, Nik, but there's not much choice, is there?
* Niki looks down.
* Roric turns slowly to Niki. "The earth demands retribution," he intones in a voice that is both male and female, old and young.
<GMStoren> « you can't force something to succeed if it's naturally resistant. :/ »
<Niki> No...I guess not.
<Dill> << Poot >>
<Cody> «ooc: brb »
<Niki> «ooc: To bad we can't cancel out what its casting. »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne casts Herculean overload on Roric! Str up 20!
<Niki> «ooc: We should use Give Pause. »
<Roric> «ooc: Best to save her MP. »
<Roric> «ooc: Now I personally would have her Ghost Lance a rose. But it's up to the other. »
<Niki> «ooc: And it would be better if the roses weren't there. »
<Niki> «ooc: Whats her 3rd charge? »
<Niki> «ooc: Just out of curiousity. »
<Roric> «ooc: Rahne? Single x4 »
<GMStoren> « unknown actually. it's a 4x single. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: What a great name. »
<Cody> «ooc: Wee. :D »
<Roric> «ooc: You Can Rahne, But You Can't Hide »
<GMStoren> « boost something els and don't? Niki doesn't want rose hurty ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: Fuck Niki. Hurt the damn rose. »
<Dill> << *Rahne does something Unspeakable! >>
<Dill> << Herc Rach? >>
<Niki> «ooc: Actually, she gave in. She doesn't like it, but knows it has to be done. »
<Niki> «ooc: Herc me! »
<Niki> «ooc: lol »
<GMStoren> « ^^; how about we stick with the lance idea. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh. Kay. »
<Niki> «ooc: Very well. »
<Niki> «ooc: To bad we can't do something like dispel the roses. »
<Niki> «ooc: That would rock. »
<Roric> «ooc: They might be deathable. »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne strikes the second Black Rose with the Ghost Lance! She deals 120 damage. 12 M regained. her Hp is already full.
* Niki winces a little as the lance strikes.
<GMStoren> >> Kyle tries his luck on the first, but is obviously striking not to kill... 196 damage.
<GMStoren> >> Cody's turn.
<Cody> «ooc: I'm thinking of trying potensa on the rabite. »
<Cody> «ooc: Anyone have any other suggestions? »
<Niki> «ooc: What would happen if you Equinox'ed the rabite with Chrys? ;) »
<GMStoren> « you've gotta revive him first. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: ...Heh. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Nono, Storen, you miss the point ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: Why? Reaper is a status. ;) »
*** TrueBlue is now known as TruePSOffline
<GMStoren> « not telling. but I think it's safe to say you can't one shot this... ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: lol »
<Cody> Mirrored Earth cry, Alba's edge, retribution of green and blue! To rise! To cry! To live! To die!
* Cody pushes his hands forward, and the ground begins to rumble; something begins to surge towards the enemy. Suddenly, a pillar of green crystal erupts from under the earth. The crystal begins to resonate, then ring, then howl, then scream! Finally, it bursts into shrapnel and green fire!
<Roric> «ooc: Single or multi? »
<Niki> «ooc: You know what we could have done Ror. »
<Cody> «ooc: Single for now, since the flowers won't intercept it, since it's not a melee attack »
<Niki> «ooc: Blaze of Glory Rahne, then Equinox it with you. ^_- »
<Roric> «ooc: I would have done multi. »
<Roric> «ooc: We need to get rid of the flowers. »
<Cody> «ooc: I was tempted to. »
<Cody> «ooc: TOo late now ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Yeah. »
<Roric> «ooc: Anyone have a multi charge free besides me? »
<Niki> «ooc: I'm at 4/6, but this is Niki. »
<GMStoren> >> Cody uses potensa... the spiritual energy wounds the charging rabite with a definite scar across it's fluffy cheeck. It hates Spirit! 315 damage. (no you just don't have that Rhiana wisdom anymore... :( )
<Cody> «ooc: Hah! Knew it! »
<GMStoren> >> Niki's turn.
<Cody> «ooc: Guess what I'll be doing next round... ;) »
* Niki stands still for a moment.
<Roric> «ooc: Heh. Niki's screwed. »
<GMStoren> « but that's an obvious weakness, Cody. ^_^ that's not what it really is. »
<Roric> «ooc: Niki uses...Green Voice! »
<Cody> «ooc: Eh, by using arcrane force, I can bump it up to almost 700+ with a boosted mind. ^_- »
<Niki> «ooc: I don't suppose an Odinson would break past the roses? ^^; »
<GMStoren> « you're going to kill a rose with anything weapon based. :/ »
<Niki> «ooc: I figured. »
<Niki> «ooc: The question...will Niki fold? »
<Niki> What...do I do?
<Cody> Niki...we sort of have no choice here...If we don't stop the rabite, then more than the roses are gonna be lost, here.
* Niki looks down to the ground.
<Niki> I'm...
<Niki> Sorry.
<Niki> I wish I could save them all.
<Roric> «ooc: >> Rachel laughs at the roses. "HAHAH SUCKS TO BE YOU" »
<Rachel> <<Right.>>
* Niki then suddenly rushes towards the first rose and slashes it across its pedals, then quickly jumps up and skewers her aura axe down its stem.
<Cody> «ooc: ...And you were saying about bad jokes? ;) »
<Rachel> <<Yeah.>>
<Roric> «ooc: That was automatically better than anything containing a pop culture reference. »
<Cody> «ooc: Right, sure, except it wasn't....FUNNY. Let it go. :P »
<Cody> «ooc: We're even ^_^ »
<Roric> «ooc: I thought it was. :D But I just hate Niki. »
<GMStoren> >> Niki attacks! 1: 288! 2: 314! Black Rose 1 wilts away, but it looks like it was freed in it's final moments somehow... charge at 5/6!
<Niki> «ooc: 6/6 ;) »
<GMStoren> « cheat. wait till the end of round kicks in ;) »
<GMStoren> « you can't get more than 1 even with multi strike ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: I mean the anima. ^^; »
<GMStoren> >> Niki's Anima continues to build.. her charge is maximum.
* Niki winces in slight pain as she hears the roses cry of death....followed by a shallow 'thank you'.
<GMStoren> >> The Reaper is starting to fdig a grave for Chyrs off to the side of the roses... Roric's turn.
* Roric thrusts a clenched hand into the air, gathering a dull green light from the surrounding ether. "Heaven abhors you." He slowly lowers his hand to his chest. He thrusts his arm towards the black rabite and opens his palm, catching it in a streaking ray of light. The color drains from it, leaving a ghostly remnant. "I am the sword and shield of the Most Holy. Prepare yourself for the retribution of the universe."
<Roric> «ooc: Paling. »
<Cody> «ooc: !! OH MY GOD »
<GMStoren> >> oric uses Paling.. the abberition gains resistance to Luna, but a weakness to Dryad!
<Cody> «ooc: I know the weakness!! »
<Cody> «ooc: .... .... Spam. :D »
<Niki> «ooc: Thats everyone's weakness! »
<Cody> «ooc: It's all ashton's fault! »
<GMStoren> « Sorry ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Rachel's turn.
<GMStoren> The black rabite seethes, not liking the fact it's suddenly less in tune with it's twisted natural habitat. >:E
<Rachel> <<Rabite is weak against spirit, eh?>>
<Niki> «ooc: To bad we didn't have a Spirit Saber spell. ;) »
<Roric> «ooc: We do. I have it. :D »
<Niki> «ooc: LOL »
<Roric> «ooc: I'm serious. Mana Saber makes Rachel's weapon spirit-elemental. »
<Roric> «ooc: But it's not necessary now that it's weak to plant. »
* Rachel uses ¤ Succession for Cody..
<Roric> «ooc: I keep forgetting you have that spell. »
<Niki> «ooc: I know, but I meant for ME. ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Cody may act in Rachel's stead!
<Cody> «ooc: Now the question is...do I summon a Plant God Beast or do I arcraneforce/Potensa? »
<Niki> «ooc: Arcane Plant God Beast. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Can't. ^^: »
<Niki> «ooc: DAMN »
<GMStoren> « sorry. you can't go over 3. unless you're roic the drunken boxer. ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: That would totally rock. »
<Roric> «ooc: Careful, the rose may absorb plant. »
<Niki> «ooc: Although Jade Spirit on the rabite does sound good. »
<Niki> «ooc: Plant and spirit on it, double kill. »
<Roric> «ooc: Mana Siphon is always a good plan too, BTW. You need to keep MP up. »
<Roric> «ooc: Especially since I suspect we may need healing soon... »
<Cody> «ooc: Ooh, I totally forgot it's a spirit attack too. »
<Cody> «ooc: Do both count, Storen? »
<GMStoren> « you can't really compound weaknesses, unless one is severelyl different that the other in strength. it just gives you more chances.. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: There's always Lucid, too. »
<Cody> «ooc: Eh, I still think I'm gonna multi potensa. It's probably cheaper overall arcaned. Maybe. »
<Cody> «ooc: Yeah, but we're already thorned. »
<GMStoren> « 8 Mp cody ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: pah, doing that then. »
<Roric> «ooc: 8 MP? O_o »
<GMStoren> « well 4+8 actually. 12. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Oh, well, uh...that's not really any different than summoning :p »
<GMStoren> « not really. it's a level bump unless it an absurd wierd spell. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: But Niki's asking me to hit the flower too, and since I think it'll absorb plant, I'll go this route. »
<Niki> «ooc: ^^; »
<Niki> «ooc: 5 minutes ago "Don't hit the roses!" »
<Cody> Waves upon waves, tide upon tide, layers and layers, blue and wide. Magic enfolding, spindle and weave, to power unimagined! 
* Cody holds up his staff, a gentle azure glow emminating from it's tip. He twirls it around once, water dropplets glimmering in the strange light of the room.
<GMStoren> >> Cody uses Arcane Force! his next spell is empowered
<Cody> Mirrored corners of green. Sage lines of blue. The alban threads of connection, break and sunder upon my words! To rise! To cry! To live! To die!
* Cody laces his fingers together, then pulls them apart, revealing thin lines of energy between them. Cody spins his hands and arms around like a dancer, and the thin lines of energy expand and multipy in all directions along the ground. At each intersection, a pillar of green crystal bursts up from the ground. The crystals begins to resonate, then ring, then howl, then scream! Finally, they all burst into shrapnel and green fire!
<GMStoren> >> The power changes into the fury of mana upon the rabite once more and it's remaining guardian. 489 damage to the Rabite. The Black Rose suffers 566 and is defeated...
<Cody> «ooc: You're welcome ^_^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Sex. »
<GMStoren> « I suppose you want dual ltitle shops huh.. or conserve? »
<Rachel> <<Succession r teh win.>>
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana's turn.
<GMStoren> « she is at 45 right now mp wise. ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Up to the group. »
<Roric> «ooc: Double LSoH. »
<Roric> «ooc: Natch. »
<GMStoren> >> Rhiana renews her assault capitalizing on the opening with her strategic magic... two more summons of elementals and Little Shop of Horrors deal 505 damage each.
<Roric> «ooc: La la la Paling rocks. :D »
<GMStoren> « ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: Now let's hope it can stay alive long enough for me to finish this darned combo. »
<GMStoren> « *dryad hugs Roric ditzily* :D »
<GMStoren> The black rabite roars in anger! A sound that sounds extremely frightening coming from a tiny fluffball...
<GMStoren> [Black Rabite] Nyeeee!! >:E
* Roric stares impassively forward with his empty eyes.
<GMStoren> >> Black Rabite opens it's mouth wide and again inflates itself to superhuman size. This time he ddoesn't flatten you instead waltzing up with a waddle and simply eating the entire room in a single gulp. O_O
<Niki> ...
<Roric> «ooc: ...*shoots eggs at the rabite's giant uvula* »
<Niki> «ooc: You know, if this hurts all of us thats a LOT of damage reflected back to him. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: ... >:) »
<GMStoren> >> The party is sucked into the maw and it's leastic stomach. Defeat seems immenent and then the rabite blinks... suddenly tons of thorns start poking at it's belly from all angles as every cloak of thorns casts together.
<GMStoren> « ^^; »
<GMStoren> [Black Rabite] x_X;
<Cody> That's some...bad heartburn...huh?
<Niki> Guess we don't taste like chicken.
<GMStoren> >> Black rabite deals everyone 999 damage! 8 CoTs deal a total of 4000 reflected damage back! The black rabite spits you out in disgust crumpled against the far wall... all except Roric, who somehow is standing. He is reduced to 1 HP. All of his statst raise 10.
<Niki> Ugh...Flora!
<Roric> «ooc: .....jesus. :D »
<Roric> «ooc: Does the FB trigger? »
<GMStoren> >> Final Benediction is invoked as you fall, bringing everyone back from the grave barely...
* Cody is shocked back to consciousness as quickly as he lost it, "Nnngh..."
<Rachel> ...a...ah....
<GMStoren> >> Chrys is even revived, but Rahne is now pushing daisies up in his place.. :/
* Niki barely maintains her balance, but a bit woozy.
* Roric lands deftly on one foot, drenched in his own blood and that of his friends. He holds his spasming, electric arm in front of him, and, with supreme effort, clenches his fist, willing the blood into intricate patterns and shapes. Tattooed with blood-runes, his body emits an audiable electrical crackle as it shifts.
<GMStoren> [Kyle] By the Goddess.. x_X;
<Roric> «ooc: Hmm. If we hadn't had defenses up we would have died and SoM would have been over. :D »
<Katt> <<Game over man>>
<GMStoren> >> Tori's turn.
<Roric> «ooc: Now Chrys is FINALLY back. Poor Chrys. »
<GMStoren> « report. you are all at about half HP. Roric 1. rahne down. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Whats our HP like? »
<Niki> «ooc: Ah. »
<Roric> «ooc: I'll be healing myself to full if all goes the way I have it planned. »
<Niki> «ooc: 32something...got it. »
<Roric> «ooc: But we could still use at least two group heals. I'm thinking Rahne should FB/multiheal. »
<Cody> «ooc: Rahne's dead now. »
<Roric> «ooc: Oh, right. Someone should raise her. »
<GMStoren> « sad. :/ »
<GMStoren> « that was extremely funny, the thorns in the stomach. heh. ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: 4000. Jesus. Cody wins the Most Damage Ever award hands down. »
<Cody> «ooc: The win! :D »
<GMStoren> « you just like 1/2 killed it almost ^^ »
<Roric> «ooc: Anyway. Hmm. I would go for the multiheal, personally. »
* Tori *¤*\chants as a small oasis of water flows up from the ground. A refreshing blue light envelops everyone and wounds seem a distant memory for a moment. Purity of soul and source of life- Cure Water!/*¤*
<Cody> «ooc: I'm gonna heal first. ^^; »
<Cody> «ooc: or not? ^^ Wee! »
<GMStoren> « all Tori? »
<Tori> <<Yeah, unless anyone objects>>
<Niki> «ooc: Nope. »
<GMStoren> >> The group regains 160 Hp each.
<Roric> «ooc: How much will Blood of Innocents heal, assuming Chrys can get a chance to use it? »
<Roric> «ooc: Er, hypothetically. »
<Niki> «ooc: * The reaper notices that Chrys got up and shrugs. He assigns the grave he was digging to Rahne now. »
<GMStoren> >> Kyle tries to poke the black rabite a bit more... 92 damage.
<GMStoren> >> Cody's turn.
<GMStoren> [Black Rabite] *starts whimepring some not used to his lunch fighting back so much* >:(
<Niki> «ooc: Maybe... »
<Niki> «ooc: We should Shadow Face Chrys and make him sit doing nothing as insurance. ;) »
<Cody> «ooc: Wow, I'm faster than Rachel? ^^ »
<Rachel> <<I suxor.>>
<Niki> «ooc: Er, fade. »
<Cody> The arrows turn, the swords rebel, may nothing pierce this mortal shell!
* Cody draws his hands inward, creating a bubble of light between his hands. He then throws his hands outwards, and the bubble flies to its charge, expanding into a shimmering bubble of protective force!
<GMStoren> >> Cody raises the Luci Barrier once again.
<GMStoren> « er lucid »
<Niki> «ooc: Luci! I'm home! »
<GMStoren> >> Niki's turn.
<Niki> «ooc: Storen... »
<Niki> «ooc: Its time for me to be evil. ;) »
<GMStoren> « oh yes. quite. ^^ »
* Niki places her two axes atop each other and points them both to the sky.
* Niki continues to hold her axe up in the air as the pitch black clouds unleashes a massive lightning bolt upon her axe. 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 Rabite swinging her axe with all her might. As the blade hits Black Rabite the absorbed lightning releases an electral discharge. For a few seconds small static field can be seen around Black Rabite, it then disappears.
* Niki then quickly follows with the strengthened aura axe.
<Niki> «ooc: Everything. »

<GMStoren> « kk ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Niki uses Odinson Catstrophe.. dealing a hefty 400 damage even through it formidble hide.
<Niki> «ooc: What about my second strike? »
<GMStoren> « right ^_^ »
<Niki> «ooc: Wee. :D »
<GMStoren> >> Niki strikes again with the charged axe! 415!
<GMStoren> « hmm, no crits today.. ^^; »
<GMStoren> >> Chrys's turn.
<Niki> «ooc: I know, it sucks. :D »
* Niki steps back, panting heavily, obiviously tired now.
<GMStoren> « suggestions? »
<Niki> «ooc: Hmm »
<Roric> «ooc: I'd do BoI. »
<Roric> «ooc: just to be safe. »
<Cody> «ooc: I wouldn't be surprised if Chrys is asleep, but maybe that spell that heals us/hurts the enemies? »
<GMStoren> « sure can. ^^ »
<Niki> «ooc: He is asleep. »
<Roric> «ooc: Now if this were WARPG he'd be completely in character. »
<GMStoren> >> Chrys calls upon the Blood of Innocents! the party's wounds are completely restored. The Black Rabite is delt 277 damage.
<Niki> «ooc: Only if he mumbled 'plot device' in his sleep. »
<GMStoren> « oh he of the poor mind ^^ »
<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
* Roric stands as rigid and silent as an oak. The sands of time slide past him.
<Cody> «ooc: Wow...what about Rachel? O_o »
<Roric> «ooc: delay »
<Roric> «ooc: I go before rachel »
<Cody> «ooc: Wow! :o »
<GMStoren> >> Roric's turn.
<Niki> «ooc: All of his stats were shot up by 10. »
<GMStoren> « er »
<Roric> «ooc: .....delay again. »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL! YOU GO NOW, RORIC. YOU GO. »
<GMStoren> « no sorry ;) »
<GMStoren> >> Roric is waiting... Rachel's action!
<Rachel> <<I suck.>>
<Cody> «ooc: Succession succession succession plz ;_; »
<GMStoren> « speaking of which ror.. i didn't move you up. doh :/ »
<Rachel> <<Wee. AAAAH MOTH AAAA>>
<Cody> «ooc: Mitsuo flutters. »
<Roric> «ooc: Moths are scary. »
* Rachel uses Succession on Cody aaaahh moth!
<Roric> «ooc: I'll act immediately after Cody, Stor. »
<Cody> «ooc: LOL!! »
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel, I *heart* you! »
<GMStoren> >> Rachel is distracted by a demonic moth, handing her action over to her lovah. ^_-
<Cody> «ooc: So I go? Wee! »
<GMStoren> « yes please. »
<Cody> Waves upon waves, tide upon tide, layers and layers, blue and wide. Magic enfolding, spindle and weave, to power unimagined!
<Niki> «ooc: I wanted Succession casted on me. ;_; »
<Roric> «ooc: Bwahaha. Check this shit out. »
* Cody transforms into a stream of water, and launches himself at Roric. He reforms as a shimmering cube of standing water, his reflection showing on each cube face. Each reflection mimick the words and actions of his ally, as his own magic joins and merges with that of Roric!
<Roric> /say The world despises chaos. Where the unnatural reigns, the land itself rises to strike it down. Suffer in the gaze of the most holy...perish in the Axis Mundi!
* Roric kneels with his face almost touching the ground, and whispers something to the blackened earth. The dark clouds above begin to swirl, slowly forming into a whirlwind whose tip descends closer and closer to the battle field. At the same time, the ground beneath the black rabite crack and split as a pillar of rock bursts up beneath it, carrying it off into the sky.
<Roric> >> Far above the battle, the swirling, crackling clouds stretch down to the rising pillar. The two crash into each other, joining sky and earth. A flash of lightning lights up the sky, and the clouds and stone disentigrate, leaving the rabite to tumble earthward. 
<Roric> «ooc: Axis Fuckin' Mundi. :D »
* Cody reappears once Roric's light show is over. ^^;
<Rachel> ...
<Niki> «ooc: This better not drop my charge. ^^; »
<GMStoren> >> Cody enchants Roric's next spell! He casts Axis Mundi on the Black rabite, smiting it with almost heavenly fury.... it is weak to Plant! 1566 damage!
<Roric> «ooc: That's it? Aw. »
<GMStoren> « er.. wait.. »
<GMStoren> « right, that was forced. well damn. »
<Roric> «ooc: I have Herc, attacking a weakness, 6 charge burnt, and the Chaos Breaker. »
<Niki> «ooc: and Cody. »
<Roric> «ooc: And the thingama...yeah. »
<GMStoren> >> Correction. 3132 damage....
<GMStoren> « ^^; »
<Roric> «ooc: Thank you, thank you everyone. I couldn't have done it without Cody, and Rachel, and Rahne, and my manager. Hi mom, hi dad! This one's for you! »
<Cody> «ooc: WIN! »
<GMStoren> >> Falling from the mighty pillar the Black rabite staggers and flops over in defeat. x_X
<Niki> «ooc: And with the 800 damage caused by me earlier...We rock! »
<Cody> Yes! ^^
<Rachel> <<Feh.>>
<GMStoren> >> The party wins!
<Rachel> Great!
<Niki> «ooc: Least I caused the highest damage by myself and no ones help. ^^; »
<Niki> Yes!
* Niki jumps up in the air
<GMStoren> The flowers all turn into a bright light, and start to float off, freed from the curse.
<Niki> Yay!  We freed them!
<Cody> We still have to defeat Entropy, or...well, this will have all been in vain....
* Roric 's eyelids close over the pollen globes, and he falls to his knees. His holy armor melts into blood and sloughs off. Where it falls on the blackened soil, forget-me-nots bloom. Roric stands slowly, shakily, as his dirty old clothes enwrap him. He seems to have sloughed ten or more pounds. "Bonza," he rasps.
<GMStoren> The rabite twiches. "Nye." Then shoves a chest in front of you...
* Rachel blinks and kicks the chest open.
<Cody> «ooc: My, what big boobs you have, Rabite! Stop sticking your chest in my face! »
<Niki> «ooc: Chrys should do it! »
*** DooM_Away is now known as DooM_GazE
<GMStoren> In the chest is ... a black rabite's foot. o_O
* Rachel blinks and picks it up..
<Dill> << Unlucky for some? >>
<Niki> «ooc: Is the garden completely empty or have the roses just change colors as they were freed? »
*** DooM_GazE is now known as DooM_Faking_Sleep
<GMStoren> >> Got Black Rabite's foot! ( May protect occasionally from the jinxing effects from Meira's presence. )
<GMStoren> « well you just made something easier. congrats. ^^ »
<Rachel> <<Jinxing?>>
<Roric> «ooc: Win! »
<Niki> «ooc: Aww, I was hoping it would be something like "Critical attacks give you the black rabite's Str for the attack. »
<GMStoren> « you'll see later. :) »
<Cody> Let's keep going.
<Niki> «ooc: My question Storen? ^^; »
<Cody> Are you going to be all right, Roric? Please don't overdo...
* Roric breathes heavily. "Sounds...like a plan. I'm good, mate...no worries...just...*gasp*...gettin' me breath back."
<GMStoren> As you collect your reward, the beaten black rabite sniffles and then flops over to start snoring again. The roses dances about happily, getting their color back to real ones.
* Roric reaches instinctively for his wineskin, forgetting that he abandoned it.
<Dill> << Roric is Australian? >>
<Roric> «ooc: No, he's Mandalan. »
<Roric> «ooc: He just talks that way. »
<Roric> «ooc: Sometimes. »
<GMStoren> The ones that have ascended create a gate of light in their midst.
* Cody heads towards the gate.
<GMStoren> [Rose] Thank you... finally... he won't trouble us anymore.
<Cody> «ooc: I lead this time! >D »
* Rachel treads a little after Cody, watching him..
<Niki> No problem. ^_^
<GMStoren> [Kyle] *rubs his bishy green hair* How about that... that's for takin' a bite out of Amber's wing eh? ;)
<Niki> «ooc: <Rachel> .oO( Everytime I watch him, I can't get over how tight his ass is! ) »
<Cody> «ooc: *hits Niki repeatedly with her fist* »
* Niki looks at the roses. "You all going to be okay now right?"
<Niki> «ooc: *is unphased since Cody is a weak suck* :D »
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel, if you please? ;) »
<GMStoren> [Rose] We'll be safe now. but of course the real enemy is still farther in waiting....
<Rachel> <<Yeah, because really, Rachel is just that vapid and stupid. Tell you what, Niki, I won't make jokes about you and you don't make jokes about me. Good plan. Let's play.>>
<Niki> «ooc: ... »
<Niki> «ooc: Just WHY is everyone so moody today? :P »
<GMStoren> The Black rabite snorts a bit in resonse to Kyle. maybe it's a sign of some kinda begrudging respect for your strength.
<Cody> Rachel...
<Rachel> Hmm..?
* Cody looks behind him, "I think...I think this leads to her."
<GMStoren> Cody approaches the gate framed by roses and sees a stairway made of moonbeams.
* Niki nods to the roses and heads to the gate and beyond.
* Rachel pauses a little and then walks up to Cody, handing him the black rabite foot as she brushes a kiss over his cheek.
* Cody blinks, and looks at the rabite foot, "..."
* Cody puts it in his pocket, "Ready, everyone? Let's finish this..."
<Rachel> Let's go.
* Cody heads through the gate.
<Niki> «ooc: Lets all rest and regain our HP/MP. ;) »
* Roric smiles softly as he watches Cody and Rachel.
<Niki> «ooc: Did we get any exp? »
<Roric> «ooc: Yeah! Where's a save point. »
* Rachel watches Cody go and then strides after him, lifting her chin determinedly..
<GMStoren> « actually no xp, you get bragging rights. :) plus fact you just made life a little easier in the end. »
<Niki> «ooc: Okay, are we gonna rest before the last boss? »
<Roric> «ooc: I'm happy we got to do that fight. I was worried we'd miss it. »
<GMStoren> Niki runs into the gate, and you now find yourself on the stairs of starlight. You're surrounded by space, but you seem to be walking on planet's rings lined up together.
<Dill> << Does Rahne get up yet? >>
<GMStoren> « I annouced she's up.. ^^ »
<Dill> << My bad. >>
<GMStoren> « or maybe didn't doh. »
<GMStoren> >> Rahne gets back to her senses with 1 hp.
<Cody> Whoa...beautiful...in a twisted way.
* Rachel looks about quietly..
*** GMStoren changes topic to '-= Chapter 60: The Mission of Mana | Location: Mirror Holyland, Oribital Road | 959 £ =- '
* Roric lifts one foot ahead of the other by sheer force of will, and as he ascends, his determination seems to return. Battered, thin and weary, he resembles the tattered, noisome man that first met the travellers in the woods of Kippo, but his face is different. His face is hardened, and his noble descent shines through the years of abuse and negect like a beacon.
<Niki> «ooc: So much for HP/MP. ;_; »
<Roric> «ooc: neglect »
<Roric> «ooc: And I expect we'll either get fully healed or have a chance to item up before the final battles »
<GMStoren> The "road" of sorts supports you as you continue on. And then it diverges around a small sun, burning brightly in the darkness. Around it yous ee very tiny planet's spinning. A green one in particular.
<Niki> «ooc: Prolly. »
<GMStoren> [Kyle] Trippy...
* Cody blinks at the green planet.
* Rachel rubs her neck with her hand and tries hard not to acknowledge the fear burying itself deep inside of her gut. She stares ahead as she keeps walking, feeling Cody's presence through their mindlink and attempting to take comfort in it. She turns a little at the green planet, furrowing her brow..
<GMStoren> [Kyle] It just occured to me... I guess even I don't know where the Mana Goddess came from...
<Cody> You don't? I assume you must have known...
<GMStoren> [Kyle] Not really, My powers were never meant to go beyond this world, since we fairies were created as protectors.
* Roric watches the motions of the spheres, slipping into reverie. His voice is distant and measured as he speaks. "I tried to avoid it for years, but I'm her servant. And yet even now that I've accepted it, I don't like it. It's just...what has to be done. I still don't believe in causes, or institutions. They've taken too much away from me. At the end of the day, though, it doesn't matter what I believe in; it only matters what I did. And at the e
<Roric> «ooc: ...whoa. Too much. »
<GMStoren> « at the e... »
<Roric> nd of the day, I want to be able to look back, and say, 'I made people's lives better'."
* Rachel looks to Kyle at the mention of 'protectors'...she then tilts her head, nodding a bit to Ror..
* Cody turns back, smiling at Roric. He doesn't say anything, but his feelings are obvious in his eyes.
<Cody> «ooc: He feels your SCUM. I mean, he thinks you're keen! tee hee »
<Roric> «ooc: Er. Was that the first ...the end of the day that cut off, or the second? »
<Dill> << Second >>
<Roric> «ooc: OK. That's right, then. »
<Bahaway> << Okay...  I is am be here.  My evening, if you wish to know, has been spent querying my future brother-in-law. >>
<Niki> «ooc: WB Baha. »
<GMStoren> [Kyle] It's hard to avoid the roles we've been told to play. But noone tells us exactly how to play them. ;)
<Cody> «ooc: Your sister is getting married? O_o »
<GMStoren> « woah really?! »
<Niki> «ooc: You serious?! »
<Bahaway> << Not yet, no.  But I expect it rather soon. >>
<Cody> «ooc: Wonderful. ^_^ »

* Rachel rubs her sword arm, seeming as if she wants to speak, but shakes her head slowly.. "We've gone through a lot. We've all changed, some. And now, we need to go save the world. A herbalist from Kippo, a macho ranger from the mountains, a foxgirl student of a Sage, a mercenary woman with her partner, a thief and an assassin, a young kid and a lounge singer..."
<Bahaway> << I fear I have missed much.. >>
* Rachel utters a low chuckle.
<Cody> A motley crew. 
<Niki> «ooc: We killed the Black Rabite, that is all. »
<Rachel> Man, you'd think the world was screwed.
* Cody chuckles as well. ^^
<Roric> Well, I still dunno if we can manage this. It's an awful big 'unk o' meat we tore off. Got to give it a fair go, though. Let's have at it, eh? *scans the path ahead*
<Niki> «ooc: Don't worry Baha. Rahne saved us. :) »
<GMStoren> [Kyle] This is what's great about fate... it's a laugh sometimes. Keep those chins up just a bit more everyone. It can't be much farther now.
<Rachel> I agree. Let's go try to be these 'big mighty heroes'. Then I think I'll abuse Cody's royalty some and he and I will drive the chancellor bald back in Pandora. *nod*
* Rachel casts Cody a grin at that and pushes herself onwards.
* Cody chokes a little. ^^:
<Cody> Ahem, right. ^^;
<Bahaway> << Save is good.  This is what she was meant to do. ^^ >>
* Cody follows Rachel this time.
<GMStoren> You are standing on a planet's rings. You cna go left or right around the little diorama of the solar system.
<Niki> «ooc: Stor: BTW, what was left in the Catacombs? »
* Rachel looks curiously about. "Left or right, crew?"
* Roric shrugs, through leading for the day. "Yer th'boss."
*** Mikey (~Gooooggg@ccm115969.ventura.perki.net) has left #Pureland
<Niki> We went right last time.  Lets go left this time. :D
<GMStoren> « Niki well, doppelr slimes for one thing. ^^ and the evntual path through earth realm among other things. »
<Rachel> Sounds good to me.
* Rachel heads for the left.. ^^
<Cody> «ooc: Watch left be wrong ;) »
<Niki> «ooc: heh. »
<Niki> «ooc: Left must lead to the best armor and stuff! »
<GMStoren> « you have time for one more small skirmish? »
<Dill> << Left must lead to CodyTree >>
<Roric> «ooc: It's a bit late. Hmm. »
<Cody> «ooc: Well....hmm. Do we? I'd really rather get something to eat if we do. »
<Rachel> <<tired.>>
<Cody> «ooc: It's kinda late, though. People work tomorrow. »
<Roric> «ooc: If we do, H might want to set herself on autopilot. »
<Rachel> <<lol>>
* Bahaway << hugs the Jprecious, and stuffles her in the Cloak. * ^^ >>
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel keeps hitting the wall over and over once the enemy is defeated! Roric: Fuck! I can't get her off autopilot! »
<Rachel> <<*snrk*>>
<GMStoren> Walking, though more like floating, to the left leads you to a twisting trail of a comet underneath you... cutting through the blackness. It seems as if it's moving towards the green planet slowly... an ominous feeling in it's beauty.
<Cody> «ooc: Cody pushes the slashing Rachel towards entropy ;) »
* Cody 's blood runs cold...and he has suddenly a very bad feeling of what comet may do.
<GMStoren> You reach the end of it though, and suddenly realize nothing's holding you up..... erk.
<Rachel> ...!
<Cody> Wha th...aaaaaaaaaaaah!
* Roric instinctively tucks into his falling position, despite not actually falling.
* Cody reaches out to Rachel, trying to grab onto her hand before he truly falls!
* Rachel yelps and tugs onto Cody!
* Tori clenches his eyes shut.
<Cody> «ooc: Actually, Stor, are we falling, or are we on the edge? »
<Cody> «ooc: Cuz that would change things a bit on if Rache could grab me or not ;) »
*** Dill (~htjones@pc3-cove1-5-cust124.bir.cable.ntl.com) Quit (Quit: )
<GMStoren> « I guess edge if you didn't stop walking in time. »
<Cody> «ooc: Okay. ^^ »
*** Huw (htjones@192.168.0.13) has joined #Pureland
* Cody manages to snag Rachel's hand, and pulls himself back onto solid ground, "Okay, /this/ is the wrong way.
* Niki sweatdrops
<Niki> Uhh, oops.
* Rachel chokes a bit and tugs Cody closer to her. "Erm....whoops. Maybe someone should lead who won't walk us off into oblivion."
<GMStoren> Nobody seems to be falling just yet, but down below, you see a stromy atmosphere of a planet almost eagerly waiting to suck you in if you do.
* Tori takes a step backwards, eyes still closed tightly.
*** DooM_Faking_Sleep is now known as DooM_GazE
<Cody> Thanks, Rachel...
<Rachel> No problem..
<GMStoren> « how about we end in a pre-fight stance? we can pick this up there? ^^ »
<Cody> «ooc: Sure thing. So another 2 sessions, Stor? ;) »
<GMStoren> Composing youself on the tail of the apparent doomsday comet, you realize that out of the icy deths of it arise three more of those annoying slimes.
* Niki starts heading in the other direction, keeping an eye on the ground this time.
<Cody> Hey! Look!
* Niki stops and turns around. "At what?"
<Niki> Oh.
<Cody> That!
<Niki> At THAT!
* Cody points!
<Rachel> ...
<Rachel> Aw, jeez.
<GMStoren> They grin a gooey grey, cutting off the road back to the fork!
<Cody> She's stalling us...
<GMStoren> [Kyle] Back to the grind I guess... ;)
* Roric tugs the Druid Thorn from his belt, twirling it expertly around his finger. "She'll fail."
<Niki> Well...guess we gotta kick your butt too.
* Cody looks back in the direction of the swirling planet.
<Rachel> Tsk, Kyle, get your mind in the game.
* Rachel grins at Kyle and then draws her sword.
<GMStoren> It's not blocked back the way you came...
<Cody> Rachel...
<GMStoren> « er well the edge that is ^^ »
<Cody> What if that planet...is a way out?
<Cody> We could give these guys the brush off...
* Rachel blinks and looks towards Cody...
* Niki basically ignores Cody and rushes towards the Slime, her axe drawn.
<Cody> «ooc: I love this. NO ONE LISTENS TO CODY ;) »
<Rachel> <<I am!>>
<Roric> «ooc: Well, that's Niki. Niki doesn't listen to anyone. »
<Cody> «ooc: True. ^^ »
<Cody> But do we risk that?
<GMStoren> The dopplers assume a battle formation as Niki tries to cleave them up, menacing the heroes at large. :o Fight or flight...
* Rachel eyes the slimes..
* Rachel then looks to Cody.
<Cody> It's up to you, Rachel.
<Cody> «ooc: THE PRESSURE. »
* Rachel looks to the others...
* Tori shrugs.
<Tori> Cosmic dare, boss. Make a call.
<Rachel> ....
<Rachel> <<So I can either jump at the planet or fight? O_o>>
<Cody> «ooc: Rachel: I can't do this! Cody! You wear the leader pants! *Hands the sword to Cody* Cody: ... »
<GMStoren> « yep. ^^ »
* Rachel takes a deep breath, rushes forward to grab Niki....and turns hard to the side, lunging off with a yell towards the planet!
<GMStoren> « oooh.. daring! »
*** Bahaway is now known as Bahamut
* Cody follows close behind, and jumps off, "Here's to my plan not killliiiiing usss aaaaaaaalll----!!!
<Niki> Hey!
<Niki> Yooor noooot Xeeennnnaaaa!
<Niki> «ooc: ... »
<Niki> «ooc: *kicks himself* »
<Niki> «ooc: *places brackets around that* »
<GMStoren> [Kyle] She must get it from me... hehee. Geronimo!
* Roric takes one look over his shoulder, waves to the dopplers, then takes a flying leap.
<Roric> «ooc: Tune in next time when Roric takes a long walk off a short pier.\ »
<Niki> «ooc: Same bat time! »
<Tori> ...
* Tori looks at the drop.
<Tori> Fine time to get sane, Tori.
* Tori eeps and jumps.
<Cody> «ooc: That's a funny mental picture. Tori eeping »
<GMStoren> The group takes a cosmic leap of faith, as the dopplers are left helplessly to watch above as they vanish into the maelstrom. In frustration or glee, though... that will be known all too soon!
