Tench cackles as he snipes an ebay auction back from a late bidder
Rufa says "you kids, always with the e-bay"
Tench nods.
Tench says "I actually wouldn't be upset to lose any of these auctions,
but someone with <1 hr to go jumped up on my bid minimally, so i did the
same right back with <7 minutes to go"
Tench half-expects the guy to overbid as the deadline hits

Obvious exits:

Rufa says "so. huh. we need Oriala, and Cordi... and Erta's still off
diving or something?"
Jerrik sigh
Tench says "so where did we end last game anywah"
Tench says "h/y"
Rufa says "log is on the site"
Tench says "yeah, i know, just asking for a summary if someone recalls
offhand"
Rufa says "but we'd caught the kobold sorcerer"
Tench says "right"
Jerrik says "Jerrik was emotionally abusing the kobold when Annoying
Invulnerable Sorceress came and emotionally abused us."
Tench says "oh yeah her"
Rufa says "here's the DM's own summary:"
Rufa | The DM says "RanDM, they found a pool of water, decided to camp
for the night on
Rufa | the beach, talked a little about jerrik and about other stuff,
went to sleep, R
Rufa | ufa tackled an invisible guy, they found it was the kobold first
mate from Nossi
Rufa | th's ship (a sorceror who cast counterspells), they smacked him
around a bit, so
Rufa | meone was scrying on them, it's a female voice who made
references to Wee Jas, t
Rufa | hen the voice went away after inviting Tench to join the other
side. the kobold
Rufa | is rather pathetic."
Jerrik says "Jerrik was surprisingly cruel to the kobold. In the sense
that *I* was surprised."
Tench says "thanks"
Rufa hears thunder outside
RanDM says "Oriala is just putting Niki to bed. Be on in a sec."
Oriala has connected.
RanDM wonders why Rufa has a copy of the DM talking to RanDM that RanDM
didn't even see.
The DM says "hi gang, i'm here"
Jerrik thought it was in the log
Tench says "hi DM"
The DM says "you did see it, you made fun of my summary and said that
moira didn't think it was entertaining enough"
Oriala says "And the nighttime Niki routine starts. First the extra trip
to the bathroom..."
Oriala says "He's slept since then."
The DM says "that's my dad's nighttime routine now too"
The DM ose at Oriala "reboot"
Jerrik goes into more detail than anyone cares about: "I was actually a
bit taken aback when Jerrik punched the kobold, I thought he was going
too far. Then I thought, What Would Cuthbert Do? And I realized that
Cuthbert would have beaten the kobold senseless. So it was OK."
Tench really wishes he had saved a scathing email he sent to a LARP list
once about people who get waaay too wrapped up in their
characterizations.
The DM WWCD?
Jerrik glares at Tench.
Oriala hehs
Tench says "no, not like that Jerrik"
Jerrik er glares at Carneggy.
The DM says "cuthbert is, yea, the god of hitting people with sticks
until they get some common sense"
Tench says "well, like that only MUCH MORE SO"
Jerrik heh
Oriala says "the senile old god of hitting etc"
The DM nods to ori "so desu ne"
Jerrik says "He's not senile!"
Jerrik says "He's just delegating authority!"
The DM says "okay, who we missing?"
Rufa says "Your wife"
The DM says "cordie just ate dinner and will be awake soon"
Oriala says "JArl is temporarily out of the room dealing with The
Child."
Rufa says "and Erta who is presumed AWOL"
The DM says "erta, aye, i talked to her earlier and she is at her dad's,
but may be on later"
The DM says "i am going to move upstairs"
The DM idles
[OOC] Tench says "a player in my larp sent a whiny email to the OOC list
griping about how he felt overlooked in terms of RP awards/player
respect because hey, when his character had nothing to do, he'd sit in
one of the rooms and think really hard and do really deep meaningful
roleplay about what his character would do from there on out and how it
was really effective for him and he wanted recognition of all this."
Oriala says "You never get peer recognition for sitting around in a room
by yourself thinking."
[OOC] Tench says "I replied to him saying basically 'you go sit in a
room and RP by yourself for 20 minutes. I go out the backdoor of the
room, down the street to McDonalds, back to the room 20 minutes later.
As far as every other player besides us is concerned, we have
accomplished exactly the same thing. Except *I* have a delicious
hamburger, and you don't."
[OOC] Jerrik laughs
[OOC] Jerrik says "A DELICIOUS HAMBURGER"
RanDM unidles, at least until the next time Niki makes him idle again
Oriala says "Nah, I'll take the next shift. I'm in 0-tolerance mode
tonight for her getting-out-of-bed antics."
[OOC] Tench says "This player really, really needed a puncturing of the
self-important balloon. He is exactly the sort of acting student who
says 'the scottish play' instead of macbeth, and i mean exactly because
i've watched him do it in all seriousness."
RanDM still wants to send What Would Hitler Do bracelets to his senators
Tench hehs at RanDM.
The DM laughs
Oriala snickers 'scottish play'
RanDM says "with, of course, a properly hilited copy of the Harper's
article"
The DM says "yes ori, lemme look again at it"
Tench says "oh right, xamos told us about wull being a traitor."
[OOC] RanDM laughs re: a delicious hamburger
[OOC] RanDM says "you should call McDonald's "the scottish burger
place""
Cordiesa has connected.
The DM says "hi cordie!"
Cordiesa says "hi!"
Cordiesa is ready to play
Rufa says "yay"
The DM says "yay"
RanDM says "foof"
Rufa[ God help me I love TooMUSH ]
RanDM looks too long at the lights on his router and is mesmerized
Cordiesa peers oddly at Rufa.
RanDM says "actually foof/yay is TinyTIM"
Oriala has since done some thinking, and unless we're within, uh, 60ft
movement rate x 14 hours (however much THAT is), then a) someone has to
come pick the menagerie up, or b) handwaving must occur.
Tench says "we're not, we're in fact on an island again"
Tench says "we backtracked right off the continent."
Rufa says "I'm emulating the MUSH Subtitles on Dino, Cordi, that shows
[God help me I love TooMUSH] when someone `nodnods'"
RanDM says "and I'm correcting Rufa"
RanDM :)
Rufa says "just so"
Oriala says "Right, I just don't know how far the island and the City
are apart. :)"
The DM says "oriala can mysteriously step out of the forest"
Tench says "on the plus side, we can always either tport back to you, or
you to us"
The DM says "because she is a high level druid"
Oriala says "Yeah, but what about all my CRITTERS"
Tench says "ah right"
The DM says "and that's a druidy thing to do"
The DM says "they can too"
RanDM says "The DM is already into this FATE thing :)"
RanDM ticks off the Druid aspect
The DM says "LOOK AT ME WAVING MY HAND"
The DM says "SEE MY HAND WAVING"
Oriala says "I can move myself across the planet in one step, but can't
take anything with me. Unless you handwa-- okay then. :)"
Cordiesa nods to Rufa - you must excuse me, but that's a use of the word
'love' that I've never encountered before ;)
RanDM says "THESE ARE NOT THE DROIDS WE'RE LOOKING FOR"
Rufa says "THESE AREN'T THE DRUIDS &c"
The DM says "THESE ARE NOT THE DRUIDS YOU'RE ...wait, yes it is"
RanDM says "Obi-Wan added a whole new dimension to 'handwaving'"
Tench says "I think our immediate plan is to go hunt down the 'jaguar
people' on this island that took kaysala, and after that, go back to the
city the gnomes left for us"
Cordiesa says "Your critters are just extensions of your own body :)"
RanDM laughs at Rufa and the DM
Oriala stuffs them all in her haversack.
The DM says "cordie, that sounds so ... furry"
Rufa says "at least she didn't say POUCH"
Oriala says "Hey, no furry jokes around the shapechanging druid"
RanDM says "Suddenly, you are attacked by an 8 HD plushie. What do you
do?"
The DM laughs at a comment on my blog about thing Random told me about:
The DM | When I read things like this, I am relieved that there's a
strong, unbreachable wall between Church and State.
The DM |
The DM | . . . what?
The DM |
The DM | Oh. That.

Rufa says "megageekpoints"
The DM | http://blog.kynn.com/shock/archive/000355.php

[OOC] Jerrik says "What do the typefaces on the 'roll' list indicate?
Some are bigger, some are smaller."
Rufa says "sounds good to me, Tench"

Cordiesa was waiting for the rebuttal, Rufa :)

The DM says "Okay."
The DM says "You guys were going to scry, weren't you? Or did you do
that already?"
Cordiesa w3asn't personally.
Jerrik has two goals: get the kobold to stop yammering, and get some
sleep.
Rufa says "Scrying is Erta's and Tench's gig"
The DM says "actually lemme call up the log ;)"
Cordiesa assumes Erta is behind a tree today?
Tench says "Erta's gig, more than mine"
The DM says "Erta is in indiana"
Tench says "I can do localized scout-level scrying, she can scry all

Tench wakes, casts a bunch of spells.
Kodoko squawks, "ERK-ERKERK-A-DOO!"
Tench packs up his stuff.
Kodoko, of course, is right next to Jerrik.
Jarl is absent, like a long-lost friend.
Jarl is absent, like a long-lost archer, anyway.
The DM says "Okay, you guys pack up camp."
Jarl . o O ( lot of good this tracking skill did me )
The DM (what? if you don't do anything, i will)
Rufa guards the kobold, who will remain tied and gagged for now.

Cardboard Jarl, somewhere, leans against a tree, sharpens an arrow, etc

[OOC] Tench muttlaughs.
Tench looks around for the monkey.
Tree-Top is sleeping in the top of a tree.
Jerrik says "What are we going to do with Tree-Top?"
Tree-Top wakes up and looks around. "Chee?"
Tench says "Ask it if it wants to come along?"
Jerrik says "I don't want to leave the poor guy alone with Xamos."
Tree-Top slides down the tree.
Tench says "Oh, we're leaving Xamos here?"
Rufa says "Our order of business is as follows: locate Kaysala; reunite
our party; determine what to do with Xamos. I would assume Tree-Top
would accompany us on Kaysala's rescue."
Rufa says "Then we must determine what, if anything, to do about Wull
and the Wee Jasians."
Tree-Top jumps up and down. "Chee! Cha-chee! Chee!"

Jerrik scratches his head.

[OOC] Cordiesa Wil and the Wee Wheatons
Tench says "I think we should reunite with the others *before* we
encounter Kaysala, Rufa."
Tench says "I'd prefer to have as many people along as we can manage, to
tackle those foes."
Rufa says "Absolutely, Tench. I said *locate* Kaysala, not rescue her."
Tench says "Ah."
Erta groans weakly, "I...think I can manage a spell."
Cordiesa says "You're assuming that we can locate Kaysala without any
confrontation with her captors."
Rufa says "We must determine what to do with the kobold before we embark
on a rescue."
[ RPG ] Tench rolled 1d20 for a 6.
Tench says "Jerrik, you realize who took Kaysala, I trust?"
Jerrik says "We leave Xamos somewhere he can't hurt anyone."
Xamos furls his brow and looks at Rufa and concentrates very hard,
thinking, "Let the kobold go."
Jerrik says "Jaguar men riding parrot-griffins, if Xamos is to be
believed."
[OOC] The DM says "somewhere he can't hurt anyone...like THE SUN"
[OOC] Jerrik says "I was thinking the Phantom Zone."
[OOC] Rufa pictures Xamos in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure. "I say we let him
go!" "NOOOOO"
[OOC] The DM says "There's a large black hole in the center of a nearby
galaxy. I thought I'd just drop him in there."
[OOC] Jerrik says "We're *not* going to wax the little bastard."
Rufa says "Xamos seemed pretty harmless here. We can leave him here, at
least unless and until Kaysala returns to her home."
Tench says "not just Jaguar men, Jerrik."
Tench says "Kaysala's people, the ones from across the portal."
Jerrik says "No?"
Jerrik says "How do you know?"
Jerrik also nods to Rufa, point.
[OOC] The DM says "technically kaysala's people are jungle people,
although she has ancestors who came frm another place who intermingled
with the jungle people, and thus the blood tainting"
[OOC] Tench is dumbing it down for Jerrik's sake, DM
[OOC] The DM says "hee"
Tench says "Xamos said they wore items bearing gems, that glowed when
they flew."
[OOC] Jerrik says "HEY I KNEW THAT."
[OOC] Jerrik must have forgotten the part about the gems.
[OOC] The DM says "i'm just reminding all of yu who may have forgotten
in the last YEAR since that info was revealed"
[OOC] Rufa
Tench says "I've studied a bit of their magic and of more traditional
forms of gem magic - that's a hallmark of their style of spellcasting."
Jerrik says "More likely their descendants or heirs. The original empire
seems long-gone."
Rufa says "I doubt it matters."
Tench nods.
Jerrik says "Yes, what matters is what we can do with that knowledge.
How do we protect ourselves from it?"
The DM says "wait, Kodoko isn't here is he"
Tench says "In any case, we seem to be lining ourselves up to oppose
these people regardless."
The DM says "bad DM, that must have been Jerrik's dream"
[OOC] Jerrik says "No, Kodoko guarded the city."
Rufa says "If our poor ill Erta can attempt to locate Kaysala, we can
begin to be about our business"
[OOC] Jerrik nods, that's why Jerrik woke up so suddenly, it was a
NIGHTMARE
Erta says "Let me try..."
[ RPG ] Erta rolled 1d20+5 for a 7 - Total 12.

[OOC] Jarl interestedly notices that elthar's last log of his game is
wood.20030406.txt, despite 0406 having been a Sunday. :)
[OOC] Rufa says "I obviously named it wrong when I logged it and never
checked"
The DM says "Erta: You see Kaysala and several other people bound with
vine ropes, apparently asleep or unconscious on the earthen ground. On
the forehead of each is a pale green stone that seems to flicker and
dance as if a flame were inside. Besides kaysala, there is an old woman,
perhaps 70 years old, with long gray hair and a wrinkled face; an
overweight man with a receeding hairline and no shirt on; and a small
child of indeterminate gender, perhaps 8 years old. They are all of the
same racial stock as Kaysala: roughly speaking, south american natives
-- brownish tan skin, dark hair. All show signs of being harmed; the man
apparently has been whipped as he bears lashes across his back and
side."
The DM says "The focus opens a bit to show that they are in a pit,
bounded by spears pointing down into it, making climbing difficult.
Outside the pit stand two guards, skin somewhat lighter than the
captives but perhaps of the same ethnic origin, or perhaps not. They
wear leopard skins over their heads like cowls, draping down onto their
shoulders and their backs, where it blends in with their tanned and
spotted leather armor. They carry spears, and have an assortment of
shining gems around their wrists and necks."
[OOC] Rufa . o O ( he really IS getting into this FATE idea )
The DM says "A griffon -- parrot/jaguar -- is led through the scene by
another jaguar warrior."
[OOC] The DM says "?"
[OOC] Rufa . o O ( RPG as drama :) Although FATE seems more literary,
and you're doing a movie script )
The DM says "A hunched figure in dark green robes makes its way to the
edge of the pit and stares down in for a few seconds, and then looks up
to the sky."
Erta frowns as the man in the green robes appears in the scene.
The DM says "Then the figure turns, and looks...directly at Erta. The
figure throws back its robes revealing a skeletal head with smoky black
diamonds where the eyes should be. It smiles, showing a jaw full of
rotting yellow-brown teeth. And it hisses."
[OOC] Rufa !
Erta !
[OOC] Jerrik says "I feel so *ashamed*, we're doing exactly what we were
so upset at the Wee Jas lady for doing. Sorry, Mr. Rotting Head!"
Cordiesa says "I think that thing you just described is able to sense
your scrying, Erta..."
[OOC] Rufa says "We haven't chipped in with the commentary yet"
Erta nods wordlessly to Cordi, but does not end the scrying.
The skeletal figure glances at the guards and croaks, "." Then it turns back to where Erta is watching, and gazes
deeper ... and deeper ... It crooks on bony finger and curls it toward
itself, out again, toward itself once more -- a "come here" gesture.
[OOC] Erta says "Oh, I don't like this at all...."
Rufa whispers to Erta, "Try to get any clues you can as to location."
[OOC] Jarl says "Rufa is very clearly thinking "I could kick his
skeletal ass""
[OOC] Rufa is thinking "BRING IT, BONE BOY"
The DM says "Erta: You notice a dark green flare from this creature's
gem eyes."
Erta does appear to be studying the area of the pit and prisoners quite
closely.
The DM says "Make another scry check."
[ RPG ] Erta rolled 1d20 for a 6.
Erta whups
Cordiesa says "Can we see anything if we look over Erta's shoulder?"
[ RPG ] The DM rolled 1d20+13 for a 14 - Total 27.
The DM says "Nope."
Suddenly, the pool crackles with dark green energy, glowing and
bubbling, and a bolt of eldrich energy arcs out like lightning, striking
Erta squarely in the chest.
Rufa !

Erta is blessed of Fharl, so there. :)
[OOC] Jerrik says "HEY why couldn't we do that to Wee Jas lady?"
[OOC] Tench says "give me time. And more xp. *cackle*"
Jerrik kicks the bowl over.
Erta sags to the jungle floor, and the water of the pool ripples, all
images lost.
Cordiesa says "At least we know what power level to prepare for..."
Erta says "Ow"
Tench looks at the bowl, then at Erta, then at the bowl, stroking his
chin.

find the place?"
[OOC] Jerrik says "GEEZ Tench"
Tench says "More importantly, are you okay, Erta?"
Erta says "I can, Rufa."
[OOC] Tench says "what?"
[OOC] Jarl says "Not bad, for a d6"
[OOC] Tench nods sadly.
[Game] Cordiesa says "Is Tench doing something I can spellcraft? :)"
Tench says "That was definitely a psionic effect."
[Game] The DM says "nope"
[OOC] Jerrik looks at Tench's rolls, looks at Tench's statement. "What,
was that a saving throw against GOODNESS?"
[Game] The DM says "he's trying to determine what zapped erta"
[Game] Rufa says "I think he's spellcrafting himself"
Erta says "And yes, Tench, I'm ok. An unplesant surprise, though."
[Game] Tench says "that was me spellcrafting and know: psi'ing the green
bolt."
[OOC] The DM says "i need to switch computers, mine is telling me that
it has been on long enough"
Erta says "I wasn't expecting an attack through the scrying. but I saw
clearly enough that I could teleport us there. Or, if we wanted to go a
little sloer, find a path to the place."
Rufa says "A path would allow us to choose our approach, but we might
encounter additional defenses."
[OOC] Erta corrects spelling as necessary. Too long without typing. :0
Erta says "Very true."
Pender says "If only Oriala were here! I'm sure she'd have something
useful to say!"
Rufa says "But we must be prepared to retreat quickly after rescuing the
victims."
Cordiesa thinks we should teleport to "a little ways off from there",
not "there".
Erta says "I will leave the strategy to you and Jerrik. But we do now
have the means."
The DM says "Oh, Erta, do you speak jungle common"
Erta does not.
Rufa says "Yes, Pender, having ascertained Kaysala's location, we should
now reunite the party."
The DM says "Erta, make an int check to relay what was said"

[Game] Rufa says "nope"
Cordiesa says "Kodoko :P"
[OOC] Erta says "It was probably, "Kill the prisoners""
Rufa says "Jerrik, do you concur with leaving Xamos here while we are
about our business?"
Tench pulls out his amulet, contacts Oriala with it. "Where are you and
Jarl? The rest of us are together, and ready to rejoin your company if
you are in a place known."
Jerrik says "Mm. Regardless of the tactical merits, I made a promise.
Let the kobold go."
Rufa raises an eyebrow.
[OOC] Jerrik says "I did! He spills his guts, we let him go. Read the
log."
Oriala , miles away, frowns. "Wondered where you all got off to. I'm
back in the jungle, gathering up my companions. Describe where you are."
Tench says "Jerrik, where are we headed next, anyway?"
Tench says "So I can tell Oriala where to meet us."
Tench says "Back to the city?"
Jerrik says "Rufa, where are we headed next?"
[OOC] Oriala makes no difference to me. As long as you're within, oh,
780 miles, she can get there with the entire crew. :)
[OOC] Jerrik says "Sometimes being railroaded is just easier."
Rufa faces Xamos. "I will be true to my partner's word. But know that if
you threaten or harm us or our friends in the future, you will face the
retribution of Cuthbert." She releases him.
Rufa says "Let us regroup at the city, as a known space."
[OOC] Jarl waves c.r's hand at Oriala mightily
Rufa says "And defensible should any attempt to disrupt our planning."
Cordiesa says "_Our_ city!"
Tench sends to Oriala "Meet us at the gnomish city, we are returning
there. We have much news, good and bad."
[Game] Tench says "I suppose Erta and I are on teleport duty again"
[Game] Cordiesa can't help :)
[Game] Erta is glad to teleport.
[OOC] Jerrik can't help
Oriala sends assent, and will (no doubt) be waiting in the central
square for the rest of the group.
[Game] Rufa could help -- if we were going 200 yards
[Game] Tench says "I suppose then erta and I need to make tport accuracy
rolls, DM?"
Cordiesa +ooc :relays from the DM "Please tell them I have to take my
computer upstairs" (disappears holding laptop power cord and one cat)
[OOC] Rufa says "yay cat"
[OOC] Oriala says "I don't even want to know where that cord plugs in"
[OOC] Erta giggles
[OOC] Rufa snorks
[OOC] Cordiesa says "Into _Mysa_ :)"
[OOC] Oriala thought about stone-shaping all the ceilings in the City
into higher ones, but nah, she can shrink herself easily enough.
[OOC] Tench laughs.
[OOC] Cordiesa says "But we can't all shrink! Some of us are even
growing!"
[OOC] Tench says "just summon an earth elemental king to do it for you,
ori"
Jerrik mulls over what Erta relayed.
[OOC] Oriala says "or that."
Jerrik says "'Prepare the next barkroot'?"
[OOC] The DM says "Is Xamos still tied up?"
[OOC] Jerrik says "Nope"
[OOC] Rufa says "No, I released him"
Jerrik says "Barkroot? Barkroot? ...barkroot?"
Xamos says "Can you give me a lift to the nearest port city?"
[OOC] Rufa says "After telling him roughly that I'd kick his ass if he
troubled us further"
[OOC] Rufa says "Well, threatened or harmed -- I guess he can be
annoying if he wants :)"
Cordiesa whispers "WE don't want him anywhere near _our_ city....
[ RPG ] Jerrik rolled 1d20+16 for a 16 - Total 32.
Tench says "Perhaps you are mistranslating 'barkroot' for 'sacrifice',
Jerrik."
Jerrik answers Xamos: "No."
[OOC] Oriala desperately searches for suitable music to get the 'dragon
tales' song OUT OF HER HEAD
[OOC] Jarl suddenly remembers he was about to listen to some music,
like, hours ago
Tench says "Actually, Xamos, I can get you off this island."
Tench rummages in a spell component pouch. "Don't fight this spell."
Xamos says "...I reserve the right to counterspell if it will harm me."
Tench pauses. "It's reversible."
The DM says "What is it?"
Tench says "poly other"
The DM says "Er"
Xamos says "What is it?" etc
Tench continues. "I can transmute you into something that can both fly,
and still allow you to dispel it when you are at your destination
Tench says "I was thinking along the lines of a small dragon."
Tench looks at Cordiesa.
Cordiesa yikes
Jerrik says "Got it! It rhymes with 'prisoner'."
Erta eyes Jerrik.
Cordiesa says "Pseudodragon rhymes with prisoner?"
Xamos says "Mmm, I dunno about that."
Jerrik says "No, 'barkroot' does."
Xamos looks over at Jerrik. "Barkroot doesn't rhyme with prisoner."
Tench says "it does in jungle common."
Jerrik says "You see, Xamos, this is why good wins against evil. Because
we can trust one another."
Tench shrugs at Xamos. "If you don't want the polymorph, I can't help
you get off this island."
Jerrik says "And as Tench says."
Tench says "perhaps a sauhaugin would be more useful."
Erta is more interested in saving any magics to deal with the rotting
skull man.
Xamos says "Wellllll...okay."
Tench says "Would you rather fly, or swim?"
Xamos says "Hey, you know, I can tell all sorts of further information.
Maybe you should take me with you."
Cordiesa says "Why can't you tell us before we leave?"
Tench says "I thought you had already told us everything you knew,
Xamos.. as per your agreement with Jerrik."
Xamos says "Oh, yeah. Uh. Fly."
Tench looks to Jerrik.
Jerrik smiles at Xamos.
Xamos smiles back wanly. "I am ready to fly."
Tench says, to Jerrik, "We can always track him later if we need to kill
him."
Xamos says "Hey, now, not again with the killing talk."
Tench shrugs.
Jerrik says "Say, Xamos?"
Jerrik says "I want you to do something for me."
Xamos says "...yes?"
Rufa cracks her knuckles thoughtfully.

Xamos says "I go! But this isn't the last you've seen of Xamos the
Counterspeller!"
[Game] Tench says "Oh, call it a small bronze dragon, DM."
[Game] The DM says "Okay, you now have a small bronze dragon."

The DM says "Okay Xamos flew away"
[OOC] Jarl leaps out from behind a bush and shouts "RED STAR"
Tench says "okay tport time"
[OOC] Jerrik says "The Greatest American Zero."
Rufa says "Jerrik, can you invite Tree-Top to join us? Or at least let
him know what we're doing?"
Tench says "I'm sure Oriala can get even more information from him."
Erta says "Are we ready to go?"
Jerrik says "It's not like I can talk to the little fella."
Tree-Top says "Chee!"
[OOC] The DM says "actually i think you can, jerrik"
Jerrik says "Tree-Top? You want to come with us?"
Cordiesa fusses around, grouping everyone together.
Cordiesa says "Now, we All Hold Hands."
[OOC] The DM says "oh wait, no, you can understand him"
[OOC] Jerrik looks confused
Tree-Top jumps up into Jerrik's arms.
[OOC] Rufa says "We were talking through Tia before"
Erta says "And chant a spell which goes like this, "Kuuuuuuum BA
yaaaaaaa""
[OOC] The DM says "oh yeah tia that's right"

[Game] The DM says "whew!"
BAMF
[OOC] Jarl THE DM
Erta looks around for Ori and Jarl.
Cordiesa just looks around.
Oriala has 'decorated' the courtyard with literally tons of plants.
Vines everywhere, little birdies, etc.
Tench looks around for the gnome.
Tench pauses, looks at the greenery.
[OOC] Jarl says "TENCH HATE LIVING THINGS! TENCH SMASH!"
Rufa frowns. "Make sure none of those vines provide handholds for
scaling the walls."
[OOC] Jarl says "...says the only person who doesn't need handholds to
scale the walls"
[OOC] Rufa says "exactly my point!"
Erta says "Ori, you and Jarl both speak jungle common. Can you tell me
what means?"
Jarl does not hear the question, as he is not immediately within view.
Jerrik says "'Prepare the next prisoner.'"
Jerrik says "Well, 'prepare the next barkroot', but I assume it's
rhyming slang."
Erta says "Oh, you sorted it out, Jerrik!"
Oriala hops down from a little tree branch that wasn't there before.
"There aren't any on the outer walls, don't worry Rufa. And there's a
new briar wall surrounding the place as well. Mind filling me in?" She
listens to Erta and looks puzzled for a moment.
Jerrik says "Well, it was something Kodoko told me awhile back."
Rufa says "Where is Jarl? I'll let the others fill you in."
Tench lets Jerrik talk.
Bridge comes out from a door, and has a colorful red flower stuck in his
hat. "Hello, everyone! Welcome back!"
Oriala says "Um, I think Jerrik has it right. Your accent is horrible,
Erta." She glances back at Rufa and shrugs. "Ranger business,
apparently."
Tench nods to Bridge.
Four colorful birds chase each other through the courtyard, twittering
and singing.
Rufa says "Ah. Thank you, Bridge."
[OOC] Jerrik says "It's like some kind of horrible...DISNEY MOVIE"
[OOC] Rufa says "help, we're in a Disney movie"
[OOC] Jerrik says "I WIN"
[OOC] Rufa says "you do"
[OOC] Jerrik says "eerie"
Two men and a redheaded woman step about from behind the corner. "Hello!
We thought we'd help Oriala surprise you with a new yard while you were
out of town for two days!"
[OOC] Oriala keeps meaning to see Jungle Book 2 one of these days...
[OOC] Tench says "just picture all the gnomes lining the city paths,
singing IIIITS A SMAAAAAL WOOOORLD"
[OOC] Oriala laughs
[OOC] Oriala installed no water feature. Begone.
Bridge says "I have been learning your language!"
Tench says "So I see."
Oriala notices the four-armed monkey and makes a little monkey-greet
noise at him.
Tree-Top says "Chee! Chee?" which means "Oh, thank goodness! Someone who
speaks Simian1"
[OOC] Jarl pops up next to Tree-Top and exclaims "SPEEEEEEEEEEEEED!"
[OOC] Jerrik says "The problem with Simian1 is that it's a binary code;
the only words are 'Chee!' and 'Chee?'."
[OOC] Erta laughs'
[OOC] Rufa says "shades of Chobits"
Jerrik says "Oriala, I bet you can communicate with Tree-Top *much* more
effectively than I can."
[OOC] Rufa says "except nobody would get that reference but snooze or
Chris"
[OOC] Jerrik says "I wanna be Racer X."
Rufa fills in Oriala. "In summary, we have nasty-looking people holding
a friend prisoner, whom we should rescue."
[OOC] Oriala is reminded of Cap'n Pike's blog.
[OOC] Tench says "I cannot picture Rufa as trixie, jerrik"
[OOC] Rufa says "whew!"
[OOC] Jerrik says "To win they'll stop at nothing!"
[OOC] Jerrik laughs at Captain Pike's blog
[OOC] The DM SHRIEKS at the concept
Tia flies up in the air and looks around.
Oriala gets more of the story, or at least monkey-centric details, from
Tree-Top, and nods at Rufa. "When?"
Tia flies back to Cordiesa, << Where did the handsome young bronze go?
>>
Rufa says "If they are `preparing prisoners,' we shouldn't dawdle, but
it depends on the readiness of our spellcasters' ability to get us
there."
Rufa says "I am ready at any time."
Cordiesa tells Tia he was a BAD handsome bronze.
Tia says << Oh well... >>
Tench says "We have a minor problem in that, Rufa."
Cordiesa says "Evil evil evil bronze. And only temporarily a bronze.
Normally an ugly kobold."
Tia says << Kobolds are kind of cute >>
Tench says "Erta can likely teleport us to it. I probably cannot easily
do so, since I've only her description of the place."
[OOC] Cordiesa says "My, my, Rufa. Smart Quotes!"
Rufa says "ah. hm."
[OOC] Jarl says "So, he's a dog!"
[OOC] The DM says "rufa always uses smart quotes"
[OOC] Rufa does!
[OOC] Jarl says "Too bad they look so awful in this font"
[OOC] Rufa says "Well, I don't bother for double quotes, but I do for
single."
Erta says "Unfortunately, I can only teleport once a day, unless it's
quite close."
Cordiesa says "And I think there may be some small urgency."
Tench nods at Erta.
Rufa says "Do you have a sense of where they are, Erta, or can you only
transport us there?"
Oriala rubs her nose. "Do you know where it is, physically? Possibly we
can use other methods of transport to get there."
Tench says "I would guess I've got about even odds to be able to hit
that locale blindly."
Erta says "however, we could perhaps, yes Rufa."
[OOC] Rufa . o O ( great minds think alike )
Erta says "Perhaps wind walking, combined with finding the path..."
Tench nods at Erta. "Many of us can fly, or similarly."
[OOC] Cordiesa says "Bo Derek playing Mother of the Groom in 7th Heaven
is JUST WRONG."
[OOC] Jarl says "s/Bo Derek playing Mother of the Groom in//"
[OOC] Cordiesa heh Jarl
[OOC] Erta says "how fast is flying, Tench"
[OOC] Erta says "?"
[OOC] Jerrik says "Could be worse, could be Bo Derek playing the groom."
[OOC] Tench says "better than Bo Duke playing mother of the groom"
[OOC] Oriala says "not faster than wind walk, I'm betting. :)"
Cordiesa says "Who can NOT fly?"
[OOC] Tench says "depends on the method. Cordie and I have wings of
flying, which is 90' pace"
Rufa
[OOC] Oriala says "wind walk is 600'"
[OOC] Erta nods.
[OOC] Oriala says "I assume you can cast it, Erta? Then between the two
of us we can get everyone, I think."
[OOC] Erta says "I can, Ori."
[OOC] Tench says "can you combined windwalk us all?"
[OOC] Rufa's player's boy tries to weasel into sleeping in mommy&daddy's
bed
Erta says "We can get, what, ourselves and 4 other people each?"
Oriala nods.
Erta says "Well, then."
Cordiesa says "Oh, are we leaving the MENAGERIE behind?"
[OOC] Oriala says "Can't combine, but don't need to. Each person gets to
act independently."
Erta grins at Ori. "I've always wanted to do this.
Erta says "Not too much call for it, though."
Rufa says "Where's our archer?"
Oriala grows back to her normal height. "I'm leaving Daksha here, but
Grah and Aksi come with me. I can take two others."
Tench shrugs. "I'm fine to accompany whomever."
Cordiesa says "Two other creatures, or people?"
Erta says "I can take Rufa, Jerrik, tench and Codri"
Cordiesa puts Tia in a pocket.
[OOC] Oriala says "creature"
Erta Cordi
Erta says "That leaves us Jarl and, hmm. Tree-top?"
Oriala asks Tree-Top if he wants to come along, warning of the possible
(probable) danger.
Jarl is STILL nowhere to be seen, despite Erta's fixation on him.
[OOC] Jerrik threatens to use Spot and Search on Jarl.
The DM says "Wow, apparently typing on the keyboard connected to my
desktop computer has no effect on my laptop computer."
[OOC] Jarl BUSTS out laughing at the DM
Jerrik says "Kodoko can guard the city. Who's taking Pender?"
Oriala says "I can."
Erta isn't fixated, just accounting for all player characters.
[OOC] Jarl recommends postponing liftoff until the DM catches up. :)
[OOC] Rufa fires up iTunes and is heralded with `Scotland the Brave'
Jarl is unaccounted for, except for Oriala's lame explanation.
Oriala wasn't lame, just vague.
Tia trills, << Look, up in the sky. >>
The DM says "spot checks"
[ RPG ] Rufa rolled 1d20+16 for a 1 - Total 17.
Oriala glances upwards, half-expecting to just see her dire hawk

Jerrik says "Someone's coming this way."
Jarl says "Are they circumcized?"
Tench says "someONE or someTHING?"
Jarl says "(hey, he got a 35)"
Jarl remembers he's not here.
Oriala points. "There. A person, over the trees."
Cordiesa says "Is it Xamos?"
[OOC] Cordiesa says "Bo Derek and Rachel Blanchard brawling on 7th
Heaven is EVEN MORE WRONG."
[OOC] The DM says "in the MUD"
[OOC] The DM says "oh yesss"
[OOC] Jerrik says "Oh, sorry. That should be +21, so 36."
Jerrik says "Does Jarl have a cat?"
[OOC] Cordiesa says "Wow, _now_ you can see it's facial wrinkles, Jerrik
:P"
[OOC] Cordiesa -'
Jerrik says "Silver bow, cloak, cat, should be here in about a minute."
Tench says "Human?"
Jerrik says "If that doesn't sound like Jarl, maybe we ought to shoot at
it. Wait, we'd need Jarl for that."
Jerrik says "Cloak over face."
Oriala shakes her head. "Not that I recall. But he did leave two days
ago, so who knows."
Tench hms.
Kodoko squawks, "Oh great Cuthbert, tell us what to do!"
Rufa non-shalauntly[sic] moves into the vinery Oriala has planted, and
Hides.
Tench walks a little off into the vines, to not stand right next to
everyone else.
Tench does not Hide, though.
Jerrik stands there, not hiding, arms crossed, having made an elementary
deduction.
Cordiesa looks in her handy haversack for her wand of fireballs.
Erta says "No one else knows about this place besides jarl (and us)"
Jerrik . o O ( No attacker would approach while holding a cat in his
arms. That would be insanity. )
The DM . o O ( it's the DM )
Oriala retrieves her staff from where it's been leaning against a wall,
and glances around for Grah's whereabouts, but likewise looks little
alarmed.
Oriala . o O ( No evildoer would be nice to cats )
Tench . o O ( unless the CAT is the attacker and the person is just a
thrall of its evil power! )
The Cloaked Figure circles around your walled city once, effortlessly.
Jerrik rummages about the room, and in his pockets, and locates some
items.
Grah is over THERE, asleep. Some little bunnies scamper past him,
chasing flowers, as he snores.
A mighty wind blows up around you, and the Cloaked Figure descends into
the middle of the center courtyard of the gnome town.
Tench watches quietly.
Jerrik approaches the Cloaked Figure and holds out a glass of water.
Cloaked Figure looks at the water.
Cloaked Figure looks at Jerrik.
Jerrik says "Long trip?"
The cat jumps down out of the cloaked figure's arms.
The cat is a small jungle cat, like an ocelot or something.
Macilner pushes his hood back and says, "You have no idea."
Tench says "Long time no see."
[OOC] Jerrik says "Oh GEEZ I wish I could spit-take."
Rufa blinks
[OOC] The DM muttlaughs at jerrik
Huh? (Type "help" for help.)

Jerrik shrugs as the figure refuses the water, takes a sip himself,
SPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Oriala stares at the cat for a minute, then smiles and makes a little
bow. "Greetings, welcome to our not-so-humble abode."
The ocelot reforms into a small, old man with white-blond hair, tan
skin, and a green sash.
Macilner steps neatly out from in front of Jerrik.
Tench says "Oriala, this is Macilner. And vice versa."
Edono Mypp says, "I like what you have done with this place."
Tench walks back over to the group.
Cordiesa *gasp* He Speaks.
Rufa silently emerges from the vines and salutes Macilner and Edono
Mypp.
[OOC] Erta says "Woah, it's Mac."
Macilner glances at Oriala. "Your welcome honors me, halfbreed."
Tench looks at Edono.
Cordiesa says "You have been here before?"
Tench says "I'm sure we will do more with it."
Jerrik . o O ( If there was any doubt it was Macilner... )
Oriala pays no mind to any Macilner person, and instead talks to the
important one. "Thank you! I've only worked for a few days. Still needs
some more touches, but..."
Cordiesa has big architectural plans.
Edono Mypp says, "There is little time for talk."
Macilner removes his cloak and stows it. "Are you aware there's an army
being formed north of the jungle?"
[OOC] Oriala wasn't even vaguely talking to Mac in the first place.
Sheesh.
[OOC] Macilner says "Never stops Macilner. :)"
[OOC] The DM says "that's okay, nobody talks to mac"
[OOC] The DM says "they sorta talk around him"
Rufa says "Possibly, Macilner. Tell us more."
Edono Mypp says, "The skies have eyes. Does your fortress have a room
for a council of war?"
Macilner says "At least a thousand men, some wearing jaguar skins,
riding some kind of griffons. Commanded by a lich and an armored entity
riding a giant lizard."
Macilner says "Not the kind of think you see every day, or want to."
[OOC] Macilner says "THING THING THING"
Cordiesa seems to be doing some mental arithmatic.
Kodoko squawks happily, "Edono Mypp! Praise the saint! But, you're...all
talking and stuff. Is something wrong?"
Rufa says "We know something of them, but not so much as you. Edono
Mypp, be so kind as to follow me."
Tench says "We're aware of the lich, yes."
Oriala nods to Edono Mypp. "Indeed it does." She shrinks herself back
down to short-of-ceiling height again, and gestures towards one of the
doors.
Tench says "And his psionic capacity."
Tench says "Yes, we can conduct our talk indoors."
Macilner squints at the shrunken halfelf.
Rufa seems to liven up at the phrase "council of war." Go figure.
Cordiesa says "PRobably if we kill the lich and the armored thing, the
thousand men will just flee. Right?"
Jerrik looks at Rufa.
Edono Mypp frowns at Kodoko, "Child, this is not the place for you. I
would speak with your masters. Wait outside."
Tench looks at Cordesia, says nothing, walks into the tunnel.
Edono Mypp follows Mini-Oriala.
Jerrik says "You know, this would explain why *we've* been sending an
army here."
Jerrik follows Mypp.
Cordiesa walks awkwardly into the tunnel.
Macilner follows Jerrik, saying, "Yes, Cuthbertian, I have questions for
you about that..."
Rufa leads/follows indoors.
Erta ducks and follows along, looking thoughtful.
The DM says "Okay, you guys are indoors at the room previously used by
the council of gnome elders."
The DM says "The ceiling is about 6 feet tall."
Oriala says "but mind the planters"
[OOC] Macilner says "mmm, peanuts"
Jerrik turns his head to say something to Macilner and SLAMS his head on
a door frame and falls to the ground.
Cordiesa is having trouble standing in here.
Rufa is not.
A happy mother duck and her four duckling children waddle through before
being shooed out the door.
Cordiesa P Rufa
Macilner sighs deeply, steps over Jerrik, and looks for Rufa.
"Halfbreed, perhaps you have information."
Cordiesa says "We should have peacocks...."
[Game] The DM says "BTW, Cordiesa is -- was? -- 5'2""
[Game] Cordiesa is/was
Jerrik clutches his head and groans.
[Game] The DM says "Except she doesn't fit in this room easily."
Erta says "You ok there, Jerrik?"
Erta says "We need that brain of yours. Intact."
Jerrik says "We...aaargh."
Cordiesa says "Why thank you, Erta!"
Edono Mypp chuckles a bit at Macilner, but just watches.
Rufa's nostrils flare but her voice is level. "The lich, in addition to
his army, is holding a friend of ours, and several others, prisoner. We
do not know its intent but intend to rescue them."
Jerrik rolls to a sitting position, puts his hat back on firmly, and
says "It is comforting to know that this building means no
harm...otherwise I would never have been caught off-guard like that."
Oriala frowns slightly. "Perhaps I should have raised the doorway
heights... later." She sits crosslegged on the ground, attention mostly
focused on Edono Mypp.
[Game] The DM says "Present are all PCs (except Jarl), Edono, and
Pender"
Rufa says "Erta was attacked through her scrying, but fortunately
suffered small hurt."
Erta nods
Macilner says "Yes, yes. Master Edono says that the Cuthbertians are
amassing a large army on Paavo Island. This seems only slightly less
disturbing than the other army. An explanation would be welcome."
Cordiesa says "Ickle wickle booboo"
Rufa says "Yes, it would. We are not privy to its origin or intent;
indeed, we have learned, by happenstance, that Jerrik is falsely being
called traitor."
Edono Mypp says "The ones who gather to the north are a danger to the
land. I feel them leeching the energy, in a way more destructive and
insidious than those who claim to follow the Ascended Saint. Macilner
and I have discovered two of their artifacts -- bejeweled rods buried
deep in the jungle, along lines of life energy."
Rufa says "We have also learned that Wull, on Paavo Island, is part of a
cult of Wee Jas."
Erta says "And uf the rods were removed?"
Tench arches a brow at the mention of the rods.
Jerrik rubs the side of his head unhappily.
Tench says "The rods are psionic items; the lich and some of his
followers practice that branch of magic."
Edono Mypp says "These rods, when aligned, serve to draw off energy from
the surrounding lands."
Macilner looks intently at Rufa. "Wee Jas. Have you encountered others
of that cult?"
Tench says "I have been endeavoring to learn about this."
Erta goes over beside Jerrik. She whispers, "need a bit of a hand there?
Just how badly did you knock your head?
Cordiesa says "And you just left the rods where they were?"
Rufa says "Not... face to face. One such scryed upon us yestereve."
Edono Mypp says "Nay, they were destroyed."
Oriala frowns. "That's the darkness I've sensed as well, then. The
griffons you described sound like the ones of Neh'da's people. Hm."
Cordiesa says "Destroyed. Oh, well..."
[OOC] Rufa . o O ( whew )
Jerrik smiles at Erta and waves her away. "I'm all right. It might have
been a message from the Saint: You! *bonk* Pay attention!
Macilner says "Master Edono, we must consider the possibility that
Ylistre Cannawal plays some role in this."
Macilner says "Could he be the armored man?"
Erta chuckles. Ok
Tench says "Neh'da no longer *has* a 'people', Oriala."
Edono Mypp nods. "It is entirely possible. I have heard nothing from my
partners of this."
Tench looks at Macilner. "Armored man? Decorated in thorns?"
Oriala waves a hand at Tench. "I know. They left; and where else to go
when your item of power is gone, than into the service of another?" She
sniffs derisively.
Macilner says "Thorns, perhaps... leaves, as I saw them."
Tench says "I know some about that being."
Tench says "Oddly enough, a minor deity told me."
Macilner says "Handy."
Macilner says "Go on."
Edono Mypp looks over at Rufa as if looking for something, perhaps on
her shoulder.
Rufa looks between Tench and Macilner. "I have the feeling that I see
only a piece of this puzzle. No matter. My fists will serve Cuthbert in
the cause of justice."
Oriala says "Ylister who? Armor of leaves?"
Rufa follows Edono Mypp's gaze. "Klopf opted to remain on a ship sailing
for Paavo Island."
Tench says "He was referred to me as both the "emperor of timeless
beasts" and "betrayer of thorns""
Erta says "Interesting"
Rufa briefly describes the shipboard encounter .
Macilner says "Ylistre Cannawal is a "paladin" of Wee Jas, of a distant
branch of my people. He is, hmm, a concern of mine."
Edono Mypp says "Ahhhh. He is always getting in trouble. I had hoped
that some of your good sense would have rubbed off on him, Rufa."
Macilner says "Interesting, mage, but the words mean nothing to me."
[ RPG ] Erta rolled 1d20+11 for a 18 - Total 29.
Pender says "A distant branch?"
Tench says "This person transfers his conciousness, his soul perhaps,
between bodies over the years."
Rufa says "He is... independently minded, I have noted."
Macilner says "Not distant enough."
Oriala peers at Macilner. "An elf?"
Macilner says "Aye."
Tench says "He is responsible for a great deal of destruction, and comes
from the same far-off land that Kaysala's people originated,
apparently."
Macilner shakes his head at Tench. "Then perhaps Cannawal's part is yet
to be revealed. I honestly don't know."
Tench says "I intend to bring about his death, to assist the coatl-god."
Edono Mypp says "I have thought of you often, Rufa of Cuthbert. How has
your journey progressed?"
Tench shrugs at Macilner. "It may be the lich is the ultimate target. I
know not. Yet."
Pender says "An elf. Interesting."
Macilner says "Master Edono and the spirits of the Three Rivers have
been instructive to me in our time apart, but time has abruptly grown
short and we have too few answers."
[OOC] Cordiesa says "Edono fancies Rufa, woo-hoo!"
Tench says "What questions do you have left, then?"
[OOC] Macilner says "Edono has no taste. He traveled with Macilner for
all this time, for crying out loud."
[OOC] The DM says "Maybe edono changes into a pretty elf girl when
travelling with macilner"
Macilner says "You say you have friends in captivity of the lich?"
Tench says "Kaysala, yes."
Tench says "You've met her."
Macilner says "Briefly before we parted company, yes."
The door creaks open and a monkey head peers in. And then goes
"CHEEEEE!" and he runs across the room and leaps at Macilner.
Rufa says "Along a twisted path, Edono Mypp. Yet always beside my
comrades, and I am glad that it has once again crossed yours. I share
Jerrik's concern that the Church may not be acting justly with regard to
Paavo Island, and his hope that we can rectify that situation. But it
seems the current threat is more immediate."
Tree-Top hugs Macilner's right arm happily.
[OOC] Tench says "THAT'S NOT A HUG"
Oriala starts to translate for Tree-Top, but figures it's pretty
obvious.
Macilner stares with visible horror at the monkey.
Macilner says "Is this someone's?"
Rufa says "He is Kaysala's."
Tench says "Again, you've met already."
Macilner says "I wasn't aware we were so close. Could it be removed?"
Oriala snorts. "He is no slave, to be owned. Tree-Top is this Kaysala's
friend." She chitters at the monkey, though, to ask him to at least not
squeeze so hard.
Jerrik says "Tree-Top! C'mere."
Jerrik holds out, yes, a banana.
Macilner takes a deep breath.
Tree-Top goes over to get the banana.
Macilner says "Rescuing the girl is an interesting problem."
Macilner says, to Jerrik, "It's a pity about your falling out. We could
use that army about now."
Tench nods at Macilner. "We know the lich is very near to her."
Rufa says "On the assumption that enemies of the lich would be friends
of ours, it would be prudent to rescue the other prisoners as well."
Macilner says "As I recall from the last time we crossed paths, mage,
you are nothing if not dangerous. If it were just the lich... an army is
hard to fight, though."
Tench says, almost to himself, "Liches. Interesting."
Macilner says "Which reminds me, it is good to see that Kodoko yet
lives."
[OOC] The DM | The DM says "Okay, Rufa comes running up like the Flash
at the same time Jerrik flaps up like Hawkgirl. Macilner is on the
beach, and there is a white monkey around his neck. He is looking out to
see, through the darkness -- the moon has set -- at two (!) boats
offshore."
[OOC] The DM says "aha, i knew that macilner knew the monkey :)"
Tench stares off into space.
[OOC] Rufa says "hee"
Oriala says "We needn't fight the entire army, however... If we can
remove the head, the rest may fall into confusion. Perhaps they could be
convinved to return to Neh'da's city, if his artifact could likewise be
repaired."
Erta smiles slightly, pondering the results of a road elemental (or two0
on an army.
[OOC] Macilner says "Oh, that's right after I shot the flaming arrow,
right?"
[OOC] Macilner says "What was that, like two years ago RL? :)"
[OOC] The DM says "only one year ago!"
[OOC] The DM says "i also i found: Jerrik casts Comprehend Languages,
and squats down next to Tree-Top."
[OOC] Tench says "the speech of the squat"
[OOC] The DM | Tree-Top looks at Rufa, and looks at where Rufa was, and
rubs his lil monkey eyes. "Chee?" he says, which is monkey for "What the
fuck?"
[OOC] Rufa laughs
Macilner says "'Perhaps' is slight comfort where the possibility of
fighting an army is concerned."
[OOC] The DM says "it was march 18"
[OOC] The DM says "it was march 18, 2002 that is"
Tench says "If the lich still has his ritual notes.. that would be of
great value to my studies."
Tench strokes his chin in his hand.
Macilner says "It is hard to express how low a priority that concern is,
but I can try, if you like."
Oriala stares at Tench, then looks back to Edono Mypp. "What is your
counsel?"
Cordiesa says "Have we considered that Kaysala may have been taken
precisely for the purpose of luring us into close combat with the lich?"
Pender says "I have a thesaurus handy, if that would help."
Tench startles, looks at Macilner. "Hm?"
Edono Mypp looks thoughtful. "I do not know. I wish I knew the purpose
for which this army is assembling."
Macilner says "I am not used to people wanting close combat with me, but
I suppose it's possible."
Macilner says "On the other hand, she probably wasn't taken to get my
attention, it's true."
Tree-Top asks, "Chee?"
Tench says "Edono, you said the rods were absorbing and distorting life
energy?"
Macilner inspects his gloves.
Erta says "Its possible that the prisoners have a sacrificial
significance. Afterall, Kaysala's sort hold power."
Oriala says "Tree-top wants another banana, Jerrik. Did the army seem to
be headed in any particular direction?"
Tench looks to Erta. "Any life holds power, if you possess the knowledge
on how to utilize it. Most of those methods are vile."
Erta says "Agreed, Tench."
Tench says "I have an idea as to what good the army would be."
Edono Mypp nods. "I found one rod planted in what was once a sacred spot
of the great tusken ones. And yet the land was wiped clean, as if their
very bones themselves had been disinterred, along with much else in the
area."
Erta says "but the lich is vile, and would no doubt relish those
methods."
Rufa paces.
[OOC] The DM imagines rufa pacing up the walls
[OOC] Macilner says "mmm, relish"
Erta says "The bones have been put to rest, Edono."
Tench looks to Edono. "Interesting, we fought a walking cemetary of
disinterred bones and earth."
Tench says "Hm."
Cordiesa says "How can these rods be located?"
Jerrik gives Tree-Top another banana.
Tree-Top mmmmm, and peel, and munchmunchmunch, and toss peel over
shoulder for later hilarity.
[OOC] Macilner is turning slowly into a pumpkin (damn 7am alarm) so may
be about to declare Macilner tired of talk or something
Erta says "And the location of the other rod?"
Tench says "Let's assume that the lich can sacrifice people for their
life energy, to warp it to his power. His army appears in the field
*after* the colony summons their army to advance their colonization
plans."
Edono Mypp says "Only by the effect on the nearby region, Cordiesa."
Jerrik slaps his forehead and immediately winces.
Tench says "I would think that his army engaging and crushing the Colony
army would provide much death and captives for him to use."
Jerrik says "Meaning that much more death, right."
Rufa says "It matters little *why* the lich would sacrifice people -- we
don't want him to sacrifice anyone, let alone a friend!"
Rufa paces onto the banana peel and skids gracefully across the room.
[OOC] The DM says "maybe the lich is tench of 100 years in the future,
come back in time to raise an undead army"
Cordiesa says "So, um ... that rather icked-up land we encountered back
a day or so - there could have been a rod involved?"
[OOC] Tench says "RAAR"
[OOC] Rufa says "AIE"
Edono Mypp says "The other rod was sunk deep in a river which had become
befouled."
Tench looks thoughtful.
Pender says "At risk of sounding overly partisan, I have to point out
that crushing the army of Cuthbert would not be an easy task."
Tench says "True, but the Cuthbertian army likely is not expecting to
face a lich and a bunch of psionicist mages."
Cordiesa looks confusedly at Pender, "We're supposed to fight both
armies?"
Jerrik says "And if the goal is simply to kill as many people as
possible..."
Pender says "Actually, we have every reason to believe that's exactly
what they are expecting to face."
Jerrik listens to Pender.
Tench says "No, Pender - I meant that the Cuthbert army was assembled
and shipped in all likelihood before news of the lich was to be had -
they might know now, but they were mustered to colonize and conquer, not
to face that."
Tench says "As far as we know."
Pender says "Based on the information we've gathered, I think it's
becoming clear that my brethren believe they are here to avenge a wrong
done millennia ago by the gem-wielding psionics. The destruction of the
great armory. Cuthbert's justice may be delayed but is never forgotten."
Tench hms at Pender.
Pender says "Which leads me to wonder if perhaps we -should- ally with
the Cuthbertian armies, if they can be convinced to regard this nonsense
regarding Jerrik's supposed treason."
Rufa says "But where are they now?"
Oriala spreads her heads wide and asks Edono Mypp, "Don't suppose we can
ask them all to leave, hm?"
Jerrik says "Who's on the other side, though? And what exactly do they
hope to accomplish?"
Macilner says "It'd be nice if they'd put aside the nonsense of taking
land from the Paavo, too."
Tench says "One thing at a time, Macilner."
Rufa says "The evidence of the treasure suggests that they *are* the
gem-wielding psionicists of millennia ago. Or their descendants."
Macilner says "I prefer to keep all targets in front of me, so to
speak."
Pender says "No offense to any of you who are not of the faith, but
Cuthbert -is- the lord of justice and his armies are renowned for their
valor. As a priest of the Cudgel God, I counsel that we speak to the
commanders about this. They need to be told that they may come under
attack by a large army. If we have knowledge of that, we simply cannot
keep it to ourselves if it will risk the lives of Cuthbertian soldiers."
Macilner says "Your last argument, secretary, I agree with."
Rufa says "Where is our army now?"
Pender ahems. "Librarian, actually, it's a subtle difference in common
tongue."
Macilner shrugs disinterestedly.
Pender says "I don't know where the armies of the Saint are."
Rufa hms and paces.
Cordiesa says "Librarian AND Priest?"
Oriala says "Klopf knows."
Macilner says "It is fairly clear these beings are also responsible for
the destruction of the Three Rivers Kingdom, as long as we are
clarifying what they need to repay."
[OOC] Macilner looks haunted. No, literally.
Tench says "And several other peoples, besides."
[OOC] Cordiesa uh-oh
Edono Mypp says "At the moment, I have no way to contact Klopf
directly."
Oriala says "We do. Tench?"
A small squirrel runs through the room, through the door left open by
Tree-Top.
Tench says "Not until tomorrow, actually."
Tench says "The amulet is spent at present."
Jerrik looks at the squirrel.
Pender nods to Cordiesa, "And sorceror!"
Cordiesa ah, yes, of course. And sorcerer.
Pender says "Are we agreed that we must contact the commanders of the
Cuthbert army, so as not to risk the lives of the soldiers? I assume
everyone here supports the troops, even if you do not agree with their
leaders' political goals."
[OOC] Rufa coughs
Cordiesa gives Pender a blog.
Erta says "And how does this fit in with our priority of rescuing
kaysala, who may be in immediate danger?"
[OOC] Pender says "Hey, cool -- Wil Wheaton!"
Oriala nods and thinks. "So do we attempt a rescue of Tree-Top's friend
now and escape to contact the Cuthbertian army tomorrow, or wait until
tomorrow first?"
[OOC] Oriala .... and Erta
[OOC] The DM says "Kaysala is the Private Jessica Lynch of this party,
obviously"
Tench says "I think alerting the Cuthbertian army takes priority."
Macilner says "Frankly, I'm just ready to start exacting a cost for
Three Rivers. Someone else can run to the saint worshippers."
Erta says "Knowing the island Cuthbertians, they're unlikely to listen
to anyone who isn't a worshiper of the saint...."
[OOC] The DM says "oh for crying out loud. i just started up my desktop
computer. WHY ISN'T THIS MOUSEPAD WORKING. YOU KNOW, THE MOUSEPAD ON ...
uh ... the laptop ..."
Oriala glances over at Macilner. "Three Rivers is a long-dead kingdom.
One more day matters not."
[OOC] The DM says "computers are hard!"
Macilner says "And the girl?"
Jerrik says "Who's the squirrel with?"
The squirrel runs out of the room.
Edono Mypp says "He's not mine."
[OOC] Cordiesa says "Well, if they were soft, they'd fall apart."
Oriala shrugs, but less sure. "I don't know her, but." She looks after
the squirrel. "Hm."
Jerrik jumps up and runs out of the room.
Macilner says "This group has a spotty history with regards to captive
friends. I would think this a good time to try to improve on it."
[OOC] The DM says "tench could teleport in with a surgical strike"
[OOC] The DM says "and take out kaysala"
Cordiesa says "If all we need to do is communicate with the Cuthbert
army, do we all need to do it? Couldn't just those who won't be of help
in rescuing go talk to the army?"
[OOC] Tench says "heh"
Rufa says "I chafe at delays in the rescue, Macilner, and I agree with
you."
Oriala says "We don't know where the army is at the moment, Cordiesa."
[OOC] Tench says "Tench unfortunately would have to use a limited wish
to get back OUT, before tomorrow"

Jerrik walks back into the room holding a squirrel. "Oriala, is this an
innocent squirrel?"
Cordiesa says "Can't you tell if it's evil, Jerrik?"
The squirrel angrily tries to bite Jerrik on the arm.
Erta says "All squirrels are evil, Cordi."
Jerrik says "Not and hold on to it!"
Macilner says "Is there another magician that could bring us back?
Perhaps a small squad, sufficient for both transportation spells and any
combat needed while we grab your friend?"
Cordiesa offers to hold the quirrel while JErrik stares at it.
Oriala tries not to look *too* amused. "It's a perfectly innocent normal
squirrel, Jerrik, although you've made it quite mad. Best to let it go."
Jerrik holds the squirrel up and stares at it. "You're absolutely sure?"
Tench spellcasts.
Pender says "Other magicians...hm. I wonder what the role of the Wee Jas
servants are in all this."
Oriala sighs, and chitters at the squirrel.
[Game] Tench says "detect magic. Then concentrate a bit, to shut jerri..
i mean, to placate jerrik"
The squirrel tries to escape.
Jerrik attempts to hold on to the squirrel.

Oriala stands up and rescues the squirrel from Jerrik. "Excuse me. I'll

Jerrik lets Oriala take the squirrel.
