--- Session 23: Mixed Up --- Session Start: Sun Nov 12 14:45:27 2000 --SESSION START-- >> Smashed machines litter the hallway of the dark ruin tunnel. Kestrel is already stomping off into the darkness ahead, his cadre in tow. «ooc: game on. » « OOC: Gayo, if we're doing it by html cues, why can't we have mods? Winamp plays them too :) » «ooc: Endless Waltz...YAYA. "Roger That." *BLAM!* » «ooc: exactly :D » «ooc: Because mods are bigass. » «ooc: But I might have one or two. » « OOC: not that bigass! » We should follow him...:/ <> Rayle: 'At fella kinda puts me off. * Shane grimaces, nods, and starts trying to catch up. * Neydisa follows the royal inspector a little reluctantly. "I guess we can't be choosy at a time like this..." Yes...I think he puts everyone off, Rayle. ^^; * Marlene runs ahead. "Wait for meee! I want treasure!" * Joseph also follows, keeping a lookout. * Ellena follows the merry troupe. * Allen feels like a fifth wheel, but follows anyway. * Neydisa reaches into her pack and offer Alen a heal berry as they walk, considering he looks a little worse for wear after the conflict. :/ «ooc: You're wrong, Allen! You're the 6th wheel! DUH. :) » «ooc: *saws off the fifth wheel* >;) » << er Allen :) >> «ooc: Oh! Right. You are at the same HP/MP levels as at the end of the battle. That means Allen is weak. » << *gets a Vay flashback* ^^ >> «ooc: * is always weak. » «ooc: You mean Allen was strong BEFORE the battle?! O_o » * Allen accepts Neydisa's heal berry and consumes it. « OOC: magically... » Thanks, Ney. :) * Allen is feeling better already. «ooc: To summarize: Ellena is H152 M13, Hik is H216 M6, Jos is H264 -1 Cormorant shot, Marlene is H204, Ney is H180 M10, and Shane is H228 M23 » « OOC: Does anyone worry that I have a 4th level force called "Heaven's Holocaust"? ;) » >> Allen regains 50 HP! «ooc: Now, what's my wound threshhold? 8? Do I have a wound? » If kestrel won't watch out for you, I'll have to try then.. :) «ooc: Oh yeah ;) » I think he has forgotten about us. «ooc: I don't even know what, or if I have a level 4 force. » «ooc: Recap for poor widdle Karu? » More like he wants to forget :/ «ooc: Hik: We're walking down a hall. » So.. I guess you're right :) «ooc: it's not a very exciting hall. » * Shane laughs a quiet bark. «ooc: I shot you while walking down a hall. For no reason too. » Kestrel: (from ahead) Pick it up, people! «ooc: More like what are we talking about » * Shane scans the area with his glasses. Better safe than sorry. Pick what up? * Allen looks around for something on the ground. We're trying, Mister Kestrel! * Joseph picks up his walking pace...walking past the party. * Shane walks towards a small enclave. «ooc: But not the Kestrel group. ^^; » * Hikaru speeds up and turns into a waffle «ooc: ERK » «ooc: LOL! » >> Shane finds a rusty treasure chest in the shadows! «ooc: That turns into a waffle is OOC » «ooc: * eats Hikaru. » «ooc: Yaaay. :D » « OOC: Polymorph... WAFFLE! » * Neydisa keeps a steady pace, though obviously not eager to be right behind Kestrel's group. ^^ «ooc: * still hungry. » «ooc: *gives Allen some maple syrup.* » «ooc: Thanks! » << Ohh.. Shane found treasure! >> «ooc: ^_^ I ate a waffle today. I like waffles more than pickles. » * Shane tries to open the chest. Shane? What did you find? «ooc: try some spells on it. Uh oh! The cave is going to explode! » >> The chest is rusted, but after a bit of forcing the top creaks open, revealing a strange-looking weapon. >> Shane found Element Gun! «ooc: gah. I'm punchy. I'll shut up now. » «ooc: NO ITS MINE MINE ALL MINE. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT, ITS MINE MINE ALL MINE! » «ooc: Consult WA_EQP for stats. » * Shane blinks. «ooc: Inside is a vibrator gun! This is the way! :D » >> Marlene bounces back. "Hey! What'd you find?" * Shane catches up with the group, pondering this... weapon. Shane? What did you find? :) << Ogh.. lucky Shane ^^ >> * Shane cocks it, and attempts firing back behind the group. >> Marlene tags along behind Shane, hoppinh and trying to get a good look at the gun. Meanwhile, Joseph and Kestrel's group continue on. >> A beam of ice shoots out! * Neydisa blinks, immediately looking around as she hears the gun fire. ^^ «ooc: I read that as you cooked it. I was gonna make a simmer comment, but it said cock. » Er... I found a gun! :o A relic gun! Marlene: Can I see? * Shane looks quite proud. ...Yay. :p *** Allen (~dont@dsl6400gw2poola239.ptld.uswest.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) Err... * Hikaru looks around, hoping to find a sword or something. ;P A gun? ^^; Wonderfu...I guess... ^^: «ooc: Well we know how Allen feels about him finding tht gun... » *** Allen (~dont@dsl6400gw2poola239.ptld.uswest.net) has joined #warpg *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Allen * Shane holsters it. «ooc: Augh! » Rayle: Can we catch up 'fore we get left b'ind? >> Hikaru finds nothing. Aww. Perhaps when we camp, Marlene. «ooc: *Patpats* ^^ Don't feel too bad, Al. I'm having lag bursts :) » Shane, don't scare me.. I thought you were in danger.. «ooc: it's a big gun shaped like a rat. The Rayle Gun! » My apologoes. * Joseph didn't stop to see what Spanky Shane found, and is still following Kestrel. « OOC: sp » Marlene: Woo! Go me! *blinks and runs off* Hey Joey! Ack! Wait up! IT ok.. I'm just nervous for obvious reasons. Let's hurry. << er it's gah.. must slow down. >> * Shane goes back to looking around cautiously. «ooc: Y U HERT? » * Neydisa does ehr best to catch up.. * Ellena shakes her head a little, and walks on, keeping a close eye out on what goes on around her. * Hikaru walks ahead faster, trying to catch up with Kestrel's group. * Allen hums Pennsylvania 6-5000. «ooc: yikes! ooc! » *** Mike (fe@ccm115969.ventura.perki.net) has joined #warpg «ooc: Tee hee hee ^^ » * Hikaru scans for traps and the like, but doesn't try to go searching for treasure like the rest of the group. >> The group catches up rather quickly, as Kestrel has halted at what looks like an elevator door. He pushes the button beside the door, taps his foot, and shakes his head irritably as nothing happens. "Damn this contraption.." << heh.. wb Allen. ^^ >> Another elevator? <> * Ellena glances at Shane, knowing that he's the kind of guy who can fix machinery. ^^; *** Enygma (enygma@216-61-223-72.dialup.cyberback.com) has joined #warpg «ooc: Wow. Full chan ^_^ » «ooc: Allen, what are you humming? :) Oh nothing, I was just thinking who would win the election. Who did you vote for? Bush or Gore? » * Hikaru mumbles something about a "stairway to hell" * Shane walks up to Kestrel, and asks if he may be of service. «ooc: Speak not of such boring topics. » «ooc: Ellena: Nader, you fool! *Whap!* » >> Kestrel sighs and looks to the group. "Are any of you capable of...ah, Mr. Arturis, just the man." Marlene: What about me! I'm just the man! * Shane examines the contraption. * Allen blinks. «ooc: Allen: Exactly. ;) » * Hikaru sweatdrops. Hrmm... * Neydisa smiles a little. It seems to be in good condition... * Joseph also looks at the elevator. * Allen pushes his glasses back up his nose. * Shane looks around again. It's just out of juice. * Hikaru turns his head to look at Marlene, and speaks in a motherly condescending voice. "Marlene, honey... You're female." * Shane looks around for a power teminus. >> There's a receptable for a battery, with something inside it. * Shane pulls open a door, and pulls out the fuel cell. * Ellena giggles at Hikaru. ^^;;; Marlene sticks her tongue out at Hikaru. "Nyahhhhh!" «ooc: * Marlene looks down in her pants. "Oh your right!" ^_^ » * Shane examines the cell. Don't worry Marlene.. maybe you know what kind of power this runs on? >> It's dead. «ooc: Jim. » Hrmm... «ooc: It's dead, Jim. » << heh. >> «ooc: Give the Battery CPR, you fool! » Ancient Power Cel... «ooc: heh heh ^^; » It's spent... << Damn Elws.. didn't sue Duracell... >> * Shane drops his pack and fishes around inside. «ooc: Ellena: Well, dammit! The general brand was CHEAPER! ;_; what do you want from me? » * Shane pulls out an identical cel, except that it looks a lot less corroded. * Shane grimaces, and puts in his Cel. * Allen wanders over to a wall and brushes at it. >> The elevator begins to hum softly. «ooc: Hmm...tools, junk, vibrator, bullet clips...Ahh, here it is! » * Ellena smiles softly at Shane, but remains quiet for his sake. :) >> Allen uncovers a very badly battered sign on the wall, written in some arcane language. hmm. « OOC: what did you think those 'robot parts' were, anyways? *click* *wrrrrrrr* » «ooc: Sign: I was here before you all! BLOO BLOO BLOO! » «ooc: Hehe. » «ooc: LOL » I wonder what language this is.. << Mwhaha >> * Shane perks up. «ooc: Actually it's "Bloo bloo bloo, I was here before all of you!" » Language where? * Ellena blinks, and turns to Allen. "May I see?" On this sign. >>The writing much resembles that on the wall carvings in the Federal Building. Sure! Sign? * Allen points it out. * Hikaru walks over to Alen's sign «ooc: 2 fucking Ls! » «ooc: ;) » <> * Shane examines the sign, but makes the request that we move the elevator ASAP. «ooc: 2 fucking sorry! » * Ellena walks towards the sign, fumbles through her bag, and pulls out a large tome and proceeds to thumb through it. Uh... * Neydisa peers at the sign, noting the similarity.. «ooc: Sorry, I hang out with dirty mouth people. next time I bring soap. » Let's see...no...that's not it...maybe... * Hikaru boggles. "How'd you keep something that size in a handbag, Ellena...? * Shane copies the letters into his notebook. «ooc: Yeah, Allen is a weak suck. Alen is a dumbass who points out the obivous. » ^^; No idea, 'Karu. It's handy though. * Allen gazes off in the direction it's pointing. Kestrel: ...can you comprehend that writing? I've never seen its like. Ah...um...Shane? ^^: Hrmm? « OOC: The sign's letters. » The sign says... "Spare..power...cell...this way!" And you see that arrow pointing to that wallspace? ^^; Maybe... «ooc: Ellena has that little pouch that Link had in the Zelda cartoons! » * Allen can't help but laugh. This looks kinda Elw... «ooc: No! You make me say it! :O » So convenient. «ooc: LINK » Kestrel: Really? Marvelous. How on Earth did you learn that, madam? «ooc: HE COME TO TOWN » ...This facility must be older than I thought! * Ellena freezes for a moment. ^^; * Shane looks amazed. Elw...? That's amazing Ellena.. you can translate this? * Shane quickly pulls out his cel. Aren't they extinct, though, Shane? ^^; «ooc: HE COME TO SAVE! THE PRINCESS ZELDA! :) » ^^; It's...just in this book I have. It translates languages... Not extinct. Just gone./ Rayle: Wossa diff'rence? They left... I don't think they like us. * Hikaru uhs. "The difference being...?" * Joseph looks in the area where the arrow points to. «ooc: lol shared thought » Rayle: (vqm) Wonder why. * Shane examines the reffered area as well, while talking. * Ellena remains quiet, frowning a bit. >> The area appears to be simple blank wall. >> Shane touches the wall, only to have his hand pass directly into it. * Allen attends to his wounds while everyone else runs around with power cells and all that business. «ooc: Inventor Sense...Tingling! must dismantle power cell and elevator! :O » The last one recorded left within the last hundred years, I believe... but she was the only Elw around for thousands of years. «ooc: LOL. » Kestrel: My word! * Neydisa widens her eyes a bit. Hrmm... * Joseph walks past Shane's hands into the wall. Whats this? «ooc: *snickers at Ash* » * Ellena 's eyes widen a bit. "^^; I believe that's your power cell, Shane. :)" * Hikaru wideeyes as Joseph walks through the wall. >> Joseph steps directly into the wall, passing through it and into a new, small room where a single cell sits quietly in a very, very dusty glass case. * Shane probes to see how big the illusion is. «ooc: Watch it be just a niche as Joseph walks -into- the wall » >> Shane, Ellena and Allen each get 5 EXP! Ah, well... you could just do that. * Joseph picks it up and walks back out to where everyone else is. «ooc: booya! » «ooc: Whoo! :) » That's just too strange... wait.. Joseph? «ooc: Allen? He didn't DO anything! :O » * Shane goes in too, looking around. «ooc: I noticed the sign :D » >> Joseph gets the cell while everyone else is mucking around. «ooc: well...wait, he found the sign. My bad. » * Hikaru sighs, waiting for Joseph and shane to get the fuck back out here. muck muck muck. * Joseph walks to the elevator and prepares to insert the cell...ignoring everyone else. «ooc: Woah. channeling Roebe. » * Neydisa looks at Joseph as he comes out, glad he's ok. * Ellena is now rather quiet. Moreso than usual. * Allen cleans off his shoes. Rayle: Works fo' me. Les' get a move on tho', ya? * Hikaru looks at Allen oddly. *** Heather is now known as FUNWITHBARBIES «ooc: I thought Roebe was the cheerful on e. » «ooc: O_o Heather? » «ooc: O_O » «ooc: UMMMM » Kestrel: I agree. It's a shame, really. I wish she'd've stuck around for a few more decades... I have so many questions... * Shane frowns. ... «ooc: I say what Ashton said yesterday..."sex with plastic, its so fantastic." » Who knows, Shane...There might be another one out there somewhere... * Shane shrugs. * Ellena freezes again. ^^; * Hikaru blinks. "Something wrong, 'Lena?" Hmm? . o O ( CAN THESE PEOPLE READ MY MIND?! ;_; ) >> Kestrel pushes the elevator button again, and the soors swish open easily, revealing a lift identical to the one they originally came on, but much larger., Nothing! ^^; I doubt it. Our kind seem to be repellant to them. And most humans that met with the Last Elw didn't treat her well. ...Okay... * Neydisa blinks. "What are you talkign about Shane? You knew an Elw personally?" * Joseph just barely finished inserting the cell as Kestrel pushed the button. He glares at Kestrel. «ooc: ^_^ This is such torture. You all suck. » I would love to meet an Elw :) No... Recent history, that's all. All before my time. I'm sure they're very fascinating. * Joseph walks into the elevator. Kestrel: Let's move. * Ellena clasps a hand to her chest and puts her tome back into her sactchel. * Hikaru shrugs. "I don't see how they're much different than humans. I mean, god, what's so different about them?" «ooc: If you all keep talking...Shane can have his wish! Be stuck down here forever! » * Hikaru walks into the elevator. * Neydisa sighs a bit... Well, their ears for one. * Shane looks kinda sentimental, in the way a librarian is about facts. * Ellena walks into the elevator. ^^; Rayle: 'Ey have a hard t'pronounce name. >> Kestrel steps into the lift, and the guards follow suit. «ooc: LOL ^^; » «ooc: "Your are too dangerous. Be dead down here." » * Shane sighs, shakes his head, and follows... ...Well...uh... «ooc: We can go into the elevator, I hope ^^: » >> The door slides shut once everyone has entered, and the lift begins to descend. At least it's easier to write, Rayle. :p I hear they stick out a foot from their heads! They must get in the way sometimes. Rayle: Dun do me no good. « OOC: EEE-Lu, right? » . o O ( Please oh please Guardians...make them stop talking about it... ) «ooc: Not really, Shane. » «ooc: >> Elevator music starts playing. » * Allen is compelled to change the subject. « OOC: Lwuh? » «ooc: Yes. » «ooc: E-lru, right? ^^: » * Neydisa steps inside. "Allen, that's just silly.." «ooc: the song is called "Village of the Eru" » «ooc: I always pronounced it like "elves" = "elws" ;p » « OOC: Ehl-Double! » «ooc: but.. yo no se. » * Allen shrugs. I've heard sillier. :) * Allen steps int. «ooc: IN » * Shane examines the controls. I'm sure they have their reasons for everything. maybe we should just let their legacy be.. like these ruins. * Hikaru rolls his eyes. "Now we're just getting wierd. Can we change subject?" So, down, Kestrel? * Ellena bows her head down a little so that no one can see the tears welling up in her eyes, and she quickly wipes them away before anyone notices. «ooc: The evevator already starting going down! » « OOC: oh, scratch that. » « OOC: small window. » >> The elevator stops, and the door swishes open, revealing a hallway disturbingly identical to the last, save for the fact that it breaks off into two paths. «ooc: >> The door slides shut once everyone has entered, and the lift begins to descend. » * Shane truns around and sighs. * Shane looks at Ellena. «ooc: oops! Sorry ^_^ » * Hikaru tilts his head as Ellena does something reminiscent of the macarena. "You sure nothing's wrong..?" >> Kestrel takes the lead. "Which way to the compasses point us?" * Shane grimaces again. * Allen glances at the Zed finder. * Joseph exits the lift and looks at the Death Compass. I'm okay...It's a little dusty in here though. Allergies and all. * Shane nods. * Shane produces a Hankerchief. * Hikaru nods, not looking too satisfied with the answer, but accepting it anyways. * Ellena smiles a little. * Shane offers it. * Allen points. "That way." >> The Death and Zed compasses both point to the leftmost passage. * Ellena takes the hanky and smiles. "Thank you..." * Ellena wipes her eyes. ^^; * Shane smiles. * Joseph looks down the left passage...and starts walking down it. «ooc: Death and Zed! Hawt monkey luv! » «ooc: Unf? » >> Kestrel follows, quickly taking the lead again. We should be careful. If the compasses are changing, they're close... * Neydisa looks sidelong at Ellena a moment, but then notices Allen's lead. "You have a fix on them?" «ooc: They have a child called "Dead" » Kestrel: We're getting very, very near. I can feel it in my bones. * Shane looks around cautiously. *** Radien (radiens@sdn-ar-002oreugeP273.dialsprint.net) has joined #warpg Right..let's go. * Ellena follows Shane. [vq] Bah, intuition. (vq) Bah, idiot. * Neydisa advances farther into the ruins, trusting in the compasses. * Shane 's glad ellena's staying behind him. «ooc: Shane: I'll say! Hubba hubba :) » * Joseph is also glancing for any traps while walking. * Allen peers about, studying their surroundings. «ooc: Err...glancing around even. » * Hikaru is behind Ellena, but is looking more at the walls than at the party... « OOC: I'm worried! This dungeon's theme music is slightly anticipatory. Something's going to happen. » .oO( Maybe there's some huge Elw tomes with ancient magical theory! That would be a great find! ) « OOC: ;) » >> The path turns a corner, and the party comes face to face with... >> ... * Shane 's very worried about traps currently. «ooc: Don't worry, they aren't playing Time Compression. We'll be okay. » «ooc: A DUCK » «ooc: Br...br...bri...brick! Right! Good job! ^_^ Hooked on phonics worked for me! » >> ...another crossroads. * Shane looks around. ...*sigh* * Allen studies the compass again. * Joseph looks at the Death Compass once again. .oO(Ellena's been acting funny ever since we got to Seim...almost like she's trying to run from something...) This place is making me nervous. * Hikaru looks at the floor again. >> The Death compass points down the left path. The Zed compass points down the right path. «ooc: Run from you! You haven't taken bath in weeks! YOU FARKING STINK! » I hope we're not going in circles... * Allen points to the right. "That way." Kestrel: ...Hmm. ... * Neydisa looks at the diverging roads and needles. "This might be a problem.." * Allen starts off. ...We have two options. huh? We get Zed. * Joseph starts walking down the left passage. Allen! Wait up! Kestrel: Two? What do you... Allen! ...That's what I mean. -_-; What, it's pointing the other way? Joseph~ Joseph! Kestrel: Wait! Hang on just one damned minute! Everyone get back here! * Allen stops in his tracks and returns to the group. * Neydisa tilts her head. "Joseph, wait!" I know this party isn't coherent enough to go one way. >> Kestrel fumes. ...I'm coherent... -_- * Joseph stops, but ignores Kestrels command. «ooc: ...smell bad. » In general, 'Lena. First priority is Zed. If he's alive, we need him.... if not... * Ellena nods a bit ^^; Kestrel: Now. Let me get this clear in my mind. Death is one way, but your priest is the other? * Neydisa goes down the left path, trying to tug Joseph back a little.. * Hikaru looks at Shane. "You realize that Joseph's going to go for Death irregardless." * Allen scratches his head. Well.. what say we.. flip a coin! ... Kestrel: Well, clearly we need to find Death. The priest is unimportant for the time being. We cannot allow the assassin to escape again. or something... * Joseph slightly whacks away Neydisa and returns to the party. Seperation though will only spell our doom. We need to work together... If Joseph is suicidal, that's not my concern. We'll all perish without the priest. * Shane closes his eyes. Kestrel: .....hrm. * Hikaru shrugs. "I'm going with Joseph and Kestrel. I have no concern about Zed." I agree with Shane. Zed is more important. * Neydisa backs away a little, somewhat hurt. But... «ooc: Ney, agree with us, and Ellena tiebreak! :D » Kestrel! Wait! I don't know Zed very well, but I can't allow an innocent person to die. Then again...if Death escapes, there will be plenty more murders... -_-; Kestrel: I am going after Death. *he glances at the FPC* You men are with me. As for the rest of you...come or go. I don't care. Who is with me? When we last fought Death, it was Zed who hurt him most. Everything else was ineffective! I «ooc: evil » Zed's important.. this searchw as all for him above everything. Rayle: I'm goin' after Zed. I'll catch up wit' yer, 'Ik. What do you think, Marlene? * Shane frowns, and looks back at who's still with him. ...Death. I don't care about that stupid priest. I'm with you, Kestrel. I didn't tag along because of Zed. I owe him nothing. The rest of the party might, it's not my concern. I'm going to go after Zed. I can't allow a hostage to die. Please understand, Mister Kestrel. Please... come find Zed first! >> Marlene is deeply pondering. You can almost hear her two brain cells grinding together. * Shane smiles at Ellena. << lol >> «ooc: lol Gayo » «ooc: LOL TWO BRAIN CELLS » <> * Ellena smiles back. ^^ « OOC: hee hee :) » Neydisa? Allen? I'm for finding Zed. Marlene: I'll go after the dopey priest man. ^_^ Then he'll give me a big reward! * Shane nods. Neydisa? * Neydisa sticks by Shane, though she's looking at Joseph quite pleadingly not to go. * Shane looks back at the others. But.. I don't want to split up. Kestrel: We're wasting time. Well, good luck to you all... and I do hope I'm very wrong about this. Me either... we know what he's capable of.. :/ * Joseph checks his ARM rounds, noting that his Cormorant clip has only one bullet. Joseph...'Karu...Please be careful... (m) ...but I'm so seldom wrong... :( «ooc: The face really ruined the drama of that, Grue. » «ooc: ^_^ » « OOC: fine, remove it from the log. » «ooc: frownies! » «ooc: Nah, it can stay. *g* » * Hikaru draws his Rune Blade and walks to the entrance of the left passage. "We can take care of ourselves, even if we can't kill him, Shane." «ooc: :( Y U HERT? » « OOC: I M 'K, R U? » * Joseph holsters his ARMs and draws his staf and joins up with Hikaru. Rayle: 'Ey, 'Ik...be careful, right? I'll see yer in a few mins. * Hikaru nods. «ooc: staff even. » We'll come as soon as we know Zed's safe. Joseph, please watch yourself.. * Allen shakes his head. * Shane sighs, and motions with his head to head down Zed's path. (m) Please...pleae be careful... * Joseph slightly nods. «ooc: Hey Ras! You're alive! ;) » *** Allen is now known as FUNWITHRABBITES «ooc: Rabite only has one b. ;) » >> Kestrel, the police (not the band), Hikaru, and Joseph head down the left path. The rest of the group travels the right, and so the group is divided... *** FUNWITHRABBITES is now known as FUNWITHRABITES « OOC: ROOOOOOOOX-anne... » « OOC: sorry ;) » >> The left path seems to slant upwards slightly, and the lights here glow with more energy than those in the previous hallways. << ^^; >> «ooc: Don't stand.. don't stand so.. d- oh, you got to it first. » « OOC: One of the police is carrying a softly-glowing dagger. It looks of Elven-make, but like a hobbit would use. » Kestrel: I must thank you two for your summort. I shallk be certain to mention it in my logs. «ooc: support » « OOC: You realize what it is. One of the Police is using Sting. » « OOC: ;) » «ooc: ........ » «ooc: I hate you, Grue. » * Joseph shrugs and continues to advance. «ooc: Grue. Bad. » « OOC: Mwahahahahaha! » «ooc: ^^;;; » << I think that's a Tolkien ref.. but it's meaning is lost on me. ^^ >> «ooc: It is, Ney » « OOC: Thunder strikes and dark clouds swirl behind Grue. He has learned the ultimate in DarkPun magic. » «ooc: A winner is you? » << ooc: In some countries they could execute you for that joke, Grue. ;) >> >> It isn't long before the hall is lit as bright as day, and they reach a large door engraved with myriad delicate designs. Kestrel takes a deep breath and draws his sword. *** FUNWITHRABITES is now known as Allen « OOC: Thank god I'm not in Texas ;) » «ooc: LOL! » «ooc: LOL! » Kestrel: Here we go. Everyone on guard. <> Make sure your men -aim- this time, Kestrel. «ooc: *Patpats windy, the texan* ^^ » « OOC: Don't worry, Hik. Last night I killed two of the Police myself. The Drummer and Bassist. » «ooc: NOOOOOOO YOU KILLED THE BASSIST » «ooc: Not the drummer! He was cool! » « OOC: hee hee :) » « OOC: I shut up now. » * Joseph stands next to the door, preparing for the battle at hand. >> Ignoring Hikaru, Kestrel reaches forward, and pushes the panel beside the door, causing it to whisk open. Revealed to the party is a large arched hallway lit with lights of every colour of the spectrum and engraved on every inch of wall with what appear to be pictographic narratives of the First Demon War. A dark, ominous shape stands at the end of the hallway. << dah Dah DAH >> <> «ooc: http://rpgcafe.net/WARPG/files/death.mid » *** Allen (~dont@dsl6400gw2poola239.ptld.uswest.net) Quit (Connection reset by peer) *** Allen (~dont@dsl6400gw2poola239.ptld.uswest.net) has joined #warpg *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Allen «ooc: O_o!! » «ooc: Allen :D » «ooc: that midi killed mIRC. » «ooc: LOL! » «ooc: Hehe » >> Kestrel rushes forward with uncharacteristic violence, eyes flashing.

ROund 2! * Hikaru scoots back a little faster, seeing Death -dodge- -bullets-... >> Death focuses on the guards. « OOC: Insert-Matrix-comment-here » «ooc: lol » «ooc: Okay..."Whoa...." » Hikaru withdraws! Death uses Zero Count Execution on the FPC! * Hikaru gets the hell out of there, knowing he doesn't have a chance! >> Death lifts his scythe, and in a flick of the wrist too fast to see, reduces the police officers to a heap, at least one dead. «ooc: Ha ha, they're meaningless extras so they die when they get KO'd. » Failure... « OOC: Redshirts! » Kestrel: D...damn... «ooc: Doh. » «ooc: ^_^ Redshirts.

It's instant death. And it ALWAYS works. » >> Death turns away wordlessly, and takes the lens from its place. The lights immediately black out. In a moment, emergency lights switch on with a clack, much dimmer than before. Death swirls his cloak around him,, and vanishes in a wisp and a burst of wind. «ooc: Don't mind me. I'm just blabbering on about crap. » >> Joseph and Kestrel are revived with 1 HP. «ooc: It IS Stop Bracelet! » «ooc: Yeah. He also has Shadow Stitch though. » * Joseph barely opens his eyes, but can't move at all. Kestrel: I...failed....I can't believe I failed. «ooc: Yeah, Kestral! YOU CRY! You go in a corner and suck your thumb and CRY :D » «ooc: Kestrel. ;) » >> Kestrel fishes in his pack, finally withdrawing a single potion berry. He looks at it for a long time, then tosses it to Joseph. "You take it. I'm worthless. I'm just...not strong enough to stop him." «ooc: ^_^ Bite me. » «ooc: BTW, Hik, you're at 0 MP now. ^_^ » * Joseph looks at the berry as it rolls up to his face. «ooc: You didn't regain MP from last sess. :D » «ooc: Oh well, Conc. Slash is free. ;) » * Joseph uses his chin to inch his way towards to berry and eats it. >> Joseph is fully restored! «ooc: Joseph is a hungry hippo :D » «ooc: We both are! ^_^ » «ooc: Yes Joseph :O Eat those balls » * Joseph slowly stands up, not bothering to dust himself off. Kestrel: .....Alia. * Joseph uses his staff for support. «ooc: It's all you now, Jo. ^{P^ » «ooc: ...er...^_^ » * Joseph pulls out the Death compass to see where it now is point to. >> The Death compass now points back the way he came. «ooc: Doh. » «ooc: So of course I go the wrong way ;p » «ooc: uh oh. » «ooc: ^^; I knew we were gonna have to fight him. » «ooc: Muahaha. This is a mean fight coming up. » * Joseph realizes that Death might be going after Zed again, and starts running towards the exit. >> The compass points to the right path...the one the party went down. «ooc: dum dum DUM! » * Joseph slides along the ground as he makes the turn down the right path...still running. «ooc: Nu » * Joseph draws the machine gun while running. «ooc: ;_; Scary. Ooh. » >> Meanwhile... «ooc: Back to the other group. » I still thing we shouldn't have split up.. >> The right path slopes gently downward, and the lights seem to grow ever dimmer, the area ever more silent. «ooc: Meanwhile...in Stately Wayne Manor.. » It's inevitable now... «ooc: think! :D » Shane? Rayle: ...I 'ope 'Ik's okay... Let's hurry... maybe we can save them if we're fast enough. * Shane starts jogging lightly, but still is wary for traps or other oddities. Right Shane.. I have a bad feeling.. 'Karu... * Ellena prays silently for the others... «ooc: A little late for that Ellena. ;) » «ooc: Oh, 'Ik's okay. He was smart -and- lucky. » If we run into trouble, we stand together... We're not strong, but our magics will help each other more if we're close. «ooc: Whereas Joseph was unlucky and Kestrel was an idiot » >> Finally they reach a doorway engraved with a very unpleasant looking skull design. hmm. >> The compass points directly in. * Shane studies it quickly. «ooc: Its the Baldurs Gate logo! :D » * Ellena winces a little. "Macabre, isn't it...?" verily. * Shane frowns, thinking. Rayle: Well, *I* feel welcome. «ooc: lol. Lord of Murder -this-, Zed! :O » >> There is a panel beside the door. * Neydisa examines the skull. "It's ominous..." « OOC: any glyphs? » * Shane examines the panel. Marlene: I bet there's treasure in there, and they put the skull to scare us away! Let's see! «ooc: No, Grue. » «ooc: Uh oh. Death got his doors from Easy-Break! :O (See if anyone gets THAT) » * Shane timidly puts his hand on the panel. >> The panel is...well...a panel. Just a metal plate. Maybe it's like the Rider's panel.. «ooc: Marlene is gonna blast it. I can see it. » We should hurry... * Shane tries prying it off if there's no reaction. >> The moment Shane pushes the panel, the door whisks open, and a gust of chill air that has the feel of a thousand-year-old corpse rushes out. * Shane coughs. * Ellena shudders visably. * Neydisa has her katars out, coughing as well as the stale air hit her. «ooc: Uh oh! ;) Now they're gonna wake up Ryoko :o » * Shane covers his mouth, and walks in, ready to get the particle generator for light. >> Marlene runs in. Marlene: Woo! Marlene! Marlene...be careful. Stay back! Marlene, wait! * Shane walks in after her, looking around quickly. «ooc: * Marlene steps on a trap as it explodes in her face, turning her into a bacon cheesburger! » «ooc: You have awaken me...hahah....eh, hey your not Tenchi! Damnit! » * Neydisa tries to grab her sleeve before she runs in too far.. >> The room inside is dark and circular, with a small altar in the center. The altar is glowing faintly, and some sort of magical machine hovers above it. All aroun the room are motionless robots like the ones encountered earlier, deactivated like grotesque statues. * Allen supresses a shiver. * Ellena wideyes! O_O * Shane grimaces, more than a little worried about the deactivated robots. >> Zed is slumped against the Altar. One arm is missing, and an oily blood drips from the socket. He seems unconscious. Zed! Mister Zed! * Shane runs towards him. Oh dear.. * Allen follows Shane. * Ellena also runs towards him. «ooc: Damn! And that arm was the part of him we needed! » Oh no.. >> Zed does not answer. He is breathing, but totally nonresponsive. * Shane checks for signs of life. «ooc: If Zed regrows that arm, then I'm saying that he is really Piccolo. » * Shane starts mumbling a healing spell. « OOC: He needs the Guardian Blade to get his arm back :/ » >> Marlene starts slapping Zed in the face. "Heeey! Wake up! I wanna reward! ^^; " MARLENE! Stop it, Marlene! «ooc: lol » * Ellena grabs her hand. Can't you see he's hurt? >> Zed's arm-stub heals slightly, but he remains unconscious. * Neydisa grabs Marlene's hand. "Stop, please.. this is serious." «ooc: lol » «ooc: LOL. ^^ » * Shane 's eyes flash at her, as he finishes casting Heal on Zed. >> Rayle shivers. "Les' get outta 'ere, 'uh? We got wot we came for." * Allen glances about, looking for Zed's arm. Hrmm... Yes...let's go. We got to make sure the others are okay. «ooc: * Marlene starts slapping Ellena in the face. "Then you'll give me a reward! ^^ " » how gruesome. * Shane tries to shoulder Zed, but has a feeling He'll fail. «ooc: We aren't! :O » *** Enygma (enygma@216-61-223-72.dialup.cyberback.com) Quit (Quit: Leaving) Marlene: *flails cutely* I was only trying to help! Ooh! Shiny thing! *gets distracted by the device floating on the alter* Whaddaya thin that is? Don't Touch! «ooc: SHINY THING LOL » >> Shane falls, seeing as Zed is seven feet tall and really heavy. * Ellena blinks. "Is it...?" I would leave that alone, Marlene... * Shane looks at the device, too. «ooc: * Marlene poings » « OOC: whazis? » «ooc: marlene is Kiki ^_^ » Marlene: Aw, come on, it's probably just treasure! Marlene! No! «ooc: Poing! » Marlene, please don't touch it! >> Marlene takes the device to demonstrate that it's okay. «ooc: No! Bad ferret! » Marlene, if that's a switch for these robots.. Be cautious, or we'll put you to sleep and leave you here. ... «ooc: Agh! :O » * Ellena sighs. ^^; * Shane takes a defensive stance. * Neydisa tries to help move zed away from the place.. >> Neydisa's fears are confirmed, as the robots slowly begin to lurch to life. «ooc: HA HA » oh great. Marlene: Oops. Why didn't anyone warn me! Marlene! What have you done!? «ooc: ;) Now you get your asses kicked too! » WE DID! * Shane looks like he'd slap Marlene, but turns around. Marlene, give me that now. * Neydisa stops. "..this is one time I didn't want to be right!" NOW! «ooc: SLAP HER » Marlene: Well...watch this! I'll turn those robots into scrap piles! *whips out her Launcher* * Ellena would slap Marlene, but it's sorta against her nature ^^; Marlene! The device! «ooc: O_o Dekar Moment! » * Ellena ponders it anyway. «ooc: Kick her in the nuts! Oh wait, she doesn't have those. » * Shane grabs it from her, hoping it's a control. >> Suddenly, the lights switch off, and a rumble echoes through the ruins. A sound of battle echoes through the dark room, accompanied by the wrenching and crashing of metal. ...What?! * Shane fumbles for his Particle generator. * Shane turns on the photon-generation ability. Oh no...Death? 'Karu!? >> A moment later, emergency lights switch on, revealing a room of ruined, smashed robots. ...? * Neydisa blinks... * Shane turns it off. Hrmm... * Ellena quickly looks around the room. You don't think something happened... Lets get Zed out of here. hmm! They took care of each other for us. >> A quartet of silhouettes glides on to the screen and a pink spotlight clicks on, highlighting them. Not so fast! Your time is past. You've been surpassed. Our strength is vast. Stand tall! Salute! Acknowledge our repute! Don't try to shoot, there's no dispute, just give your loot or you'll get the boot! Yes, I do think something happened.

Prepare yourself, knaves! << ooc: A.. pastel.. Voltron..? O_o>> >> There is most definirely not room. ^_^ * Shane looks at one of them. Weren't you in the Mercenary bar? Why are you here? It's the pastels. That's right...that man! Mauve: I came for the food, but I stayed for the treasure! «ooc: I want Joseph to pincer them. ^_^ » By Zepet, of all the times.... * Allen narrows his eyes to slits. Leave now! Death is here! «ooc: Waiting on all but Ellena. » We're all in danger, fools! * Neydisa advances defensively, pleading. "Please.. we don't have time for this.. Death is here! Chartreuse, just let us through.." Turquoise: Hah! You expect us to fall for that one! We're not THAT stupid! It's true! Chartreuse: We're not stupid at all, Turquoise. -_-; He's in the next hall! Look, the Demon-Priest Zed is here, and he's dying! Who else but Death could harm him? We've been following both Zed and Death! They're both here! Chartreuse: Hmm, you look serious. Tell ya what.

"Can't you understand?" Chartreuse: Then tough luck! We're in a catacomb, for life's sake!

Nothing, moron-boy. * Allen starts weaving a few magical threads and chants a litany. I bet your aim's as bad as your brain. Why do you have to be so pig-headed...? * Shane 's furious. «ooc: I replaced your ammo with Folgers Coffee. Let's see if you can tell the difference. » Mauve: If that's true, than my aim must be GOOD! So hah! «ooc: wow, he's being abusive like Hikaru was last time we met these guys. » Neydisa meditates! «ooc: EAT MY SWORD AHAHAHAH » «ooc: We all need a little abuse. :D » << brb a sec. :) >> * Ellena shakes her head.

Give us everything else ya got too! «ooc: I want you. Bad. :o » Oh grow up! :/ * Shane looks at Ellena, his face pained with frustration and worry. Mauve locks on and fires the Albatross at Joseph!

We're not! * Shane 's eyes flash with smugness and the air of truth. * Ellena can't help but laugh ^^; * Allen wonders what Crests would cause that effect. Let us go, or Wee Willy Winkies will never Work again. Allen casts Enlighten on the back row! * Shane carries the air of menace with him. * Allen shouts "Gain insight and understanding... Enlighten!" He opens his arms wide and the back row of allies is bathed in a bright light that settles around their eyes. >> Shane's gambit doesn't work! He's just too cute! «ooc: Tee hee :D » « OOC: cute? ;) fah! » !!! Allen, Ellena, Marlene and Shane get Mind+1! Guys! Shane? Remember the trick at the box canyon?! It'd work again.

This day has officially become fucked up. Marlene: Cool! La la la, this is my voice underwater, blublu...ack!

"Go, quickly!" * Shane feels disoriented as the water in his lungs suddenly give him life instead of Death. Now... * Joseph aims the hammer at a wall and fires. «ooc: LOL. » Death... Where is he? * Shane 's mind is one-track when Death is around ;) * Hikaru swims over to Ellena, making sure she's alright :o >> Joseph blasts a nice big hole in the wall, and the water gushes through it.

I'm just pissed. * Allen mumbles a healing litany to himself. * Shane looks around for Zed. * Ellena patpats him on the back. "At least Death didn't take Zed...did he?" >> Zed is slumped n the floor, with Neydisa trying to lift him. * Shane checks his breath. * Hikaru stands up and walks over to Zed, helping Neydisa lift him. * Neydisa lays in the remaining foot of water, soaked and rather tired, dropping Zed as she can't lift him above water. ^^ * Joseph slowly puts away the hammer, and does his best to stand up. >> The two together manage to heft the demon priest, though he's quite a load.

You don't need to fight to help someone fight... ...the Compass! [ Dropped again. The compasses have begun to spin erratically, Death is still close. ] * Hikaru sighs and gets back up, trying once again to walk out of the room. «ooc: oH :P » << and I fixed that problem.. this is something else apparently. ^^ >> >> Slowly, the group, minus Allen and Marlene, bring Zed to the Elevator.

"Did I do the right thing back there? I endangered us all.." :/ It's not your fault. I came up with the idea... * Ellena looks down at the ground. ...But we were safe in the end. That's what matters... I really need to get to an inn... -_- * Neydisa nods slowly. "What about Kestrel?" Allen and Marlene are checking up on him now. ...We might've all perished if that punk mage continued... Stop. * Shane rubs the rough patch from the magically-cured wound on his abdomen. 'Karu? Stop talking about it. It's not important now. * Shane looks at the compass again. >> Still spinning, despite their having moved. What's important is we need to regroup. This wasn't a victory on our part, and we need to find a way to make sure this doesn't happen again. >> Allen and Marlene come back from the left passageway, wet and unaccompanied. Marlene looks grouchy. "What a grouch!" «ooc: >> The compass says "haha, you suck." » * Shane grimaces. «ooc: Er, I'll have to take one of those "grouch"es out. » He said he'd catch up. ... Either Death's with us... he's mimicing us... or by far the most reasonable assumtion... ... ...i think the compass might be broken. That's likely. * Shane pockets it. I don't think it was meant for underwater adventures. Could you make another one, Shane? Rayle: ......goody gosh. Let's get th'ell outta 'ere. * Allen blinks at Hikaru. * Shane shrugs, and looks at Allen. Allen made it. >> Rayle floats over to Hikaru and sits on the top of his hat, as the brim is rather droopy. * Hikaru pulls the light ward out of his pocket. "Filched this off of Death when I was fighting him. It might work. * Joseph waits for Allen and Marlene to enter the lift, and pushes the button.

Shane? «ooc: Wet T-shirt contest! » Nothing. Just thinking. * Hikaru is several layers of wet, but not complaining. >> Eventually, the group stumbles out of the ruins, dripping. * Ellena drips. Yes. >> THe chilly Seim breeze seems positively biting now. The head excavator runs up, looking baffled. * Hikaru stumbles out of the ruins, dripping. ...No. Don't ask. * Hikaru looks rather perturbed.

I agree with that. ^_^ « OOC: HEN... oh, nevermind. » I've always been a little senstive to the cold. * Marlene walks over to a metal floor panel and jumps up and down on it. "Open upppp!"

Our first mistake was splitting up...Shane was right...Death was more than we could handle. What happened with Death? How did you get away from him? Marlene: I'm just a super optimist! ^_^ Me?
