[10:14] *** Anshu_ is now known as Anshu
[10:14] <RandBrittain> Are we ready to make progress on Operation Stop Fiendish Fiendishness of the Fiend?
[10:14] *** Anshu is now known as Taurus_II
[10:14] <Taurus_II> perhaps
[10:14] * @dakkareth waves
[10:15] <RandBrittain> So anyway, I've been thinking about Elloge Charms lately. Designing Charms is hard, but I came up with an Excellency I sort of like as a base concept.

[10:15] <Taurus_II> mind setting me as an Op?

[10:16] *** dakkareth sets mode -o dakkareth
[10:16] <dakkareth> sorry
[10:16] <@Taurus_II> it's no problem
[10:17] <RandBrittain> What do you think of that Elloge concept?
[10:17] <@Taurus_II> hang on a sec

[10:19] * @Taurus_II waves
[10:19] <dakkareth> 'lo Myllinnia
[10:20] <Myllinnia> hi hi ^^
[10:20] <RandBrittain> I definitely see him as the Linguistics Yozi, and I'm trying to think of Charms that work for that without being also Presence or Performance Charms exactly.
[10:21] <RandBrittain> I was going to focus on writing, but he's the Sphere of Speech, so that's part of it, too.
[10:24] <RandBrittain> I'm envisioning him as the Inception Yozi.
[10:24] <RandBrittain> What do you think of this, Myll? First Elloge Excellency: The Sphere of Speech is endlessly inventive but has been turned inward upon himself. He suffers from a crippling separation from actuality and is forever uncertain that anything is real. His songs, artworks, and stories are beautiful, but he cannot lay hands upon the real. Elloge deals in symbols rather than in things in themselves, and as such he always says
[10:24] <RandBrittain> both more and less than he means. His icons are perfect, ideal forms, but they must be understood to have power. Through his words, Elloge can relate to others and seek understanding of them, but will always be apart from the world.
[10:24] <RandBrittain> Characters may apply this Charm to any actions in which they choose the indirect or diplomatic approach rather than taking direct part in the action. Exerting physical force upon the ultimate object of the Infernal's intentions makes this Excellency inapplicable (although Craft actions are always considered indirect). This Charm may also be used when the character works through intermediaries or uses a vicar to trans
[10:24] <RandBrittain> mit the power of his words.
[10:24] <RandBrittain> Oh, wait, I was going to paste the link.

[10:26] *** Brazen_Sand has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[10:26] <@Taurus_II> Excellency looks good
[10:26] <@Taurus_II> Urge looks good
[10:26] <@Taurus_II> Imperfection is iffy
[10:26] <@Taurus_II> but overall I'm with that guy who wants to see the root charms
[10:27] <Brazen_Sand> What's up?
[10:27] <RandBrittain> Yeah, I knew it was weak, but I thought it was fun.
[10:27] <RandBrittain> (Link: http://forums.white-wolf.com/cs/forums/t/35139.aspx)http://forums.white-wolf.com/cs/forums/t/35139.aspx <- My Elloge Excellency.
[10:27] <Brazen_Sand> Ahhh
[10:27] <RandBrittain> I think he'll have some kind of weird perfect that has a broad use, like a really wide range or that starts out tick-long.
[10:28] <Brazen_Sand> I'm against initial tick-long perfects
[10:28] <RandBrittain> Well, the flaw is "doesn't work against unarmed," which is pretty big.
[10:28] <Brazen_Sand> If you're trying to sell us on a custom charm, it's a good idea to not start out discussing advantages : P
[10:29] <RandBrittain> I haven't really thought about the actual perfect, I just thought about Elloge's Imperfection while I was working out his themes.
[10:29] <RandBrittain> I doubt he's the Yozi you go to for an awesome perfect.
[10:29] <Brazen_Sand> And unarmed? Please, you know that most people aren't going to be attacking you while unarmed
[10:30] <RandBrittain> Well, hey, Solar Hero just got a bunch of new customs, and is about to get errata. You never know.
[10:30] <RandBrittain> Anyway, I really am in this for the Linguistics Charms.
[10:30] <dakkareth> my character does unarmed ...
[10:30] <RandBrittain> I gotta get some Infernal magic that can compete with our mad Eclipse calligrapher.
[10:30] <Brazen_Sand> You're already better at healing
[10:30] <Brazen_Sand> and other more esoteric stuff.
[10:31] <Brazen_Sand> Dakka is good at...well, writing
[10:31] <@Taurus_II> also
[10:31] <Brazen_Sand> (no offense, Dakka)
[10:31] <RandBrittain> That's not competing with him at Linguistics, though.
[10:31] <dakkareth> Heh. Haven't gotten around to actually taking more than one Linguistics Charm
[10:31] <@Taurus_II> have you guys seen Under the Rose?
[10:31] <Brazen_Sand> yes
[10:31] * RandBrittain has read it.
[10:31] * RandBrittain has read the entire Exalted line, somehow.
[10:31] <dakkareth> I'm aware of it, haven't looked at it
[10:31] <dakkareth> except the two new charms :p
[10:31] <@Taurus_II> somebody should use the Charm in the back to punch the Sun's addiction off
[10:32] <dakkareth> the Solar Hero Charm from which is on Hideaki's list
[10:32] <RandBrittain> You'd have to get past his Aegis, though. Although if he's acting addicted that's actually possible.
[10:32] <@Taurus_II> "Hey, Sun. Nice Calibration part - *punch*"
[10:32] <dakkareth> Mmhh, maybe I should take it sooner rather than later.
[10:33] <Brazen_Sand> He definitely suppressing temperance
[10:33] <RandBrittain> I think Elloge's first Charm might be something like Witness to Darkness, only instead of making you good at lying it makes you good at indirect social manipulation.
[10:33] <Brazen_Sand> the hard part is getting to the Sun
[10:33] <RandBrittain> Like a written social attack.
[10:33] <@Taurus_II> true, true
[10:33] <RandBrittain> And you take a -1 internal penalty to actually talking to people in person.
[10:33] <RandBrittain> Then you get a few Charms after that that let you apply your full social dice pools when relaying a message through somebody.
[10:34] <RandBrittain> Like, Inkwell tells Brazen Sand, and Brazen Sand tells Ruby, and Ruby gets hit with the social attack using Inkwell's full dicepool.
[10:34] <Brazen_Sand> Another thing to discuss. Hattori's sword
[10:34] <@Taurus_II> oh
[10:34] <@Taurus_II> I've already talked to him about it
[10:34] <@Taurus_II> and we worked out some revisions
[10:34] <Brazen_Sand> This'll be interesting
[10:34] <@Taurus_II> which should be up on the wiki
[10:35] <Brazen_Sand> Cool!
[10:35] <Brazen_Sand> Was it difficult to get him to do so?
[10:35] <@Taurus_II> not entirely.
[10:35] <@Taurus_II> It's still pretty strong, mind you, but less so than it used to be
[10:36] <RandBrittain> What's a fancy word for moving something from one person to the other?
[10:36] <@Taurus_II> transference?
[10:36] <RandBrittain> I need a Charm name for the "working through middlemen" Charm.
[10:36] <@Taurus_II> um
[10:36] <Brazen_Sand> Delegating?
[10:36] <RandBrittain> Iconic Interpretation Transference? That could work.
[10:36] <Brazen_Sand> I think it's delegating
[10:36] <@Taurus_II> yeah
[10:36] <@Taurus_II> or Delegation
[10:36] <RandBrittain> Well, I'm not really sending my meaning //down//, I'm sending it //through//.
[10:37] <RandBrittain> Maybe Delivery.
[10:37] <Brazen_Sand> Uhhh...wow, he decreased the stats by one
[10:39] <RandBrittain> In general I disapprove of artifacts that are "daiklaive +1".
[10:39] <Brazen_Sand> and 1 mote for Hungry Tiger Technique + Golden Destruction Cut?
[10:39] <@Taurus_II> HTT is 1 mote
[10:39] <dakkareth> taurus, in the thread I asked how one would handle having my own personal sorcerer. The Ally background? Though the name implies an equal ...
[10:39] <@Taurus_II> unless I missed some errata
[10:40] <Brazen_Sand> HTT + Golden Destruction Cut
[10:40] <@Taurus_II> Golden Destruction Cut is now a permanent upgrade to HTT
[10:40] * dakkareth shrugs. An Artifact 5 daiklave should be appropriately impressive.
[10:40] <@Taurus_II> which does not increase the cost
[10:41] <@Taurus_II> and while the Accuracy may not have fallen by that much, the Defense value did.
[10:41] <Brazen_Sand> true...
[10:41] <RandBrittain> I guess being able to do it reflexively is fine.
[10:41] <RandBrittain> It's the "daiklaive +1" aspect I don't like.
[10:41] <dakkareth> what do you mean 'daiklave +1'?
[10:42] <RandBrittain> "It's like a daiklaive but with more numbers."
[10:42] <Brazen_Sand> That's a point. In Oadenal's Codex, all the Artifact weapons have neat additions to them
[10:42] <Brazen_Sand> for example, Death at the Root is a gigantic 4-dot axe
[10:42] <dakkareth> the additional powers are the point of having a higher artifact weapon, i feel
[10:43] <Brazen_Sand> But it's not that much better at fighting. Instead, it's able to warp essence, smash down sorcery effects, change dragon lines, etc.
[10:43] <RandBrittain> That's why hatewheel designed the Aidenweiss as having ordinary daiklaive numbers. It's the history and unique powers that make it special. Although I admit this weapon does in fact have a neat history.
[10:43] <Myllinnia> Well its two daiklaves with more numbers all in one. XD It certainly puts my Grand Beamkliave (Artifact 5) to shame XD
[10:43] <@Taurus_II> we can work on that if you want, Myll
[10:43] <Brazen_Sand> Exactly
[10:44] <Brazen_Sand> It shouldn't be like "Oh this daiklave is really good at attacking and that's it)
[10:44] <dakkareth> And my Replendent Phoenix Wings ... well, they are for looking impressive, not so much about being fighty ;)
[10:44] <Myllinnia> hehe
[10:44] <Brazen_Sand> Most Artifact 5 weapons aren't that much better for fighting, statwise
[10:44] <Brazen_Sand> But they have other cool features
[10:45] <Myllinnia> Well its quite the pain for the Beamklaves. They are two dots more than their basic klave. All I get is strange looking weapon that I can carry around discreetly XD
[10:45] <dakkareth> Mmhh. In my game I gave one of the characters a Daiklave with Acc +6, Def +6, Rate 6 (no 5MM bonus).
[10:45] <RandBrittain> Here's a weapon I invented that I quite like, down at the bottom: (Link: http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Character:Heylel)http://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/Character:Heylel
[10:45] <Myllinnia> but its no problem. My weapon can remain as is. I've evil protocols :p
[10:46] <dakkareth> For two reasons, one being that as an Artifact N/A even though it's not meant for fighting it should be impressive. And two, the character had zero combat charms at that point (130 BP, 25 sessions in).
[10:46] <dakkareth> Oh right, and it completely ignores all soak.
[10:46] <Brazen_Sand> holy shit
[10:46] <Brazen_Sand> that's a spicy meatball
[10:47] <dakkareth> I wouldn't have given that to the Dawn (who is already overpowered enough), but for the Mad Scientist Twilight with little interest in fighting it's worked out well
[10:48] <Myllinnia> Nice
[10:49] * Myllinnia sighs at her connection.
[10:50] <@Taurus_II> ?
[10:50] <Myllinnia> We lost power last night and the connection has been erratic. So its going at a snails pace some times and lovely fast at others.
[10:51] <@Taurus_II> oh
[10:51] <Myllinnia> I honestly didn't think I'd be connecting to IRC today ><
[10:52] <RandBrittain> At least you haven't dropped once yet.
[10:52] <dakkareth>
[18:39:46] dakkareth: taurus, in the thread I asked how one would handle having my own personal sorcerer. The Ally background? Though the name implies an equal ...
[10:52] <@Taurus_II> hmmm
[10:52] <Myllinnia> Yep a good sign ^^
[10:53] <@Taurus_II> Ally's fine, yeah
[10:54] <dakkareth> How high for a (starting) DB sorcerer to handle my mail? ;)
[10:54] <RandBrittain> That's a pretty clear one-dot Ally.
[10:54] <@Taurus_II> yeah
[10:54] <RandBrittain> Although Ally is weird, so a Dragon-Blood is probably about right if you want them constantly available.
[10:55] <dakkareth> Yeah, that's what I figured.
[10:55] <RandBrittain> I'm thinking Elloge probably has a Sorcerous Charm that pretty much duplicates Infallible Messenger, while I'm at it. That seems like his thing.
[10:55] <@Taurus_II> it does
[10:55] <dakkareth> Much lower powered than an Ally 1 would usually be, but more available in exchange.
[11:01] <@Taurus_II> hmmm
[11:01] <@Taurus_II> I told Hattori we'd be starting at the usual time...
[11:02] <Myllinnia> No Hattori and no Rakshi. We are dawnless Oo
[11:02] <@Taurus_II> maybe he thought I meant 11:30
[11:02] <@Taurus_II> Raksi is on AIM
[11:02] <@Taurus_II> I'll poke her
[11:03] *** Myllinnia is now known as Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby

[11:04] <Lady_Daethia> RaWr
[11:04] <@Taurus_II> excellent
[11:04] * Nomoe_Hideaki waves
[11:04] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Yay hi hi LD!
[11:04] <RandBrittain> Hallo.
[11:05] <@Taurus_II> and so now we wait for Hattori
[11:07] <Brazen_Sand> yus
[11:09] <Brazen_Sand> Do we all remember where we were last time on Exaltedball Z?
[11:09] <RandBrittain> I located a dragon and cured him with my awesomeness. He was not properly grateful because he is a racist.
[11:10] <Lady_Daethia> hes not racist he just hates infernals >.> seems normal to me~
[11:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> We found a group of Immaculates (DBs), one of them seems to be the one bringing the Fiend's tracts in.
[11:10] <Brazen_Sand> And me and Inkwell were invited to a meeting
[11:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> They want to meet Brazen an hour after dusk.
[11:11] <Brazen_Sand> Also we're to meet the Steward in charge of the Lap
[11:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And some others are going to be hiding in the vicinity, since we'd like to ask them some pointed questions about their Infernal ally.
[11:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> We haven#t yet heard from them.
[11:11] <Brazen_Sand> By herself, since her Solar mate is absent
[11:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Unless they have replied to Hideaki's letter=
[11:11] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Pointed questions? With pointed weapons?
[11:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ?
[11:12] <Lady_Daethia> whatever necassary O:
[11:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If the Steward wants to meet us she knows where she can reach us.
[11:13] <Brazen_Sand> where would that be?
[11:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Wherever it was that we made our base? Some fancy hotel or whatever the Lap equivalent would be.
[11:17] <@Taurus_II> yeah, something like that
[11:20] <Brazen_Sand> I find it funny that Swan probably just left through the front door or something
[11:21] <Brazen_Sand> Swan Dragon, that is
[11:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> In human form, though.
[11:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So no big spectacle.
[11:22] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[11:22] <Brazen_Sand> that's what made it funny
[11:26] <Brazen_Sand> "RAAAAAAWR I HAVE RETURNED! TIME TO SET THE SOUTH RIGHT!"
[11:26] <Brazen_Sand> "...k, bye then." *walks out the door*
[11:27] <@Taurus_II> *stretch*
[11:27] <Brazen_Sand> *cracks knuckles*
[11:27] <RandBrittain> How long shall we wait?
[11:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 3 more minutes?
[11:28] <Nomoe_Hideaki> for a full half hour?
[11:28] <Brazen_Sand> You've got two combat monsters, after all.
[11:29] <@Taurus_II> true
[11:29] <@Taurus_II> all right
[11:30] *** RandBrittain is now known as Inkwell
[11:31] <Brazen_Sand> *crosses fingers for chance to go Kaiju this time* ; )
[11:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> You know, we meant to be subtle and stealthy. And leave them alive to be questioned.
[11:32] <Brazen_Sand> So...what time is it in-game, btw?
[11:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Though the latter won't be a problem thanks to the house rules, of course.
[11:33] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Between now and then. ^^
[11:33] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, I know, but there's always hope. Like maybe the Lap is hijacked and made into an evil robot
[11:33] <@Taurus_II> rm
[11:33] <@Taurus_II> late afternoon, I think/
[11:33] <Brazen_Sand> I mean the Penitent
[11:33] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Ooooh! Evil Robot Penitent! Eye zapping and flying fist punches!
[11:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> unless we skip forward to the meeting ;)
[11:33] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Completely voice activated ya know ^^
[11:34] <Brazen_Sand> INFERNALZILLA VS MECHA-MONKZILLA
[11:34] <Brazen_Sand> I've even got crazy nuclear breath
[11:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> What is the authorized abbreviation of Shadow Phoenix Ruby anyway? Ruby? Shadow? Phoenix?
[11:35] <Brazen_Sand> Ruby sounds good to me
[11:36] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Ruby
[11:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Mmh, at Ess 5 she'd be of greater than human size when not transformed/disguised, right?
[11:36] <@Taurus_II> so yeah. Late afternoon, unless you skip to the meeting
[11:36] <Brazen_Sand> Nah, not until Essence 6
[11:36] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> At essence 6?
[11:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Ah.
[11:37] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> ya 6
[11:37] <Brazen_Sand> Which meeting?
[11:37] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Tis their way of saying Essence 2-5 games a-ok. at 6+ well your ST better be planning fun stuff XD
[11:37] <Brazen_Sand> Lunar meeting or Cult meeting?
[11:37] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I'm all for skipping ahead. OOC and IC.
[11:37] <Nomoe_Hideaki> the latter
[11:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> since there has been no indication that the former is planned. Though we could discuss that now, I suppose.
[11:38] <Inkwell> So many cultists! I'll probably need a disguise.
[11:38] <Brazen_Sand> Well, I'm okay with that.
[11:38] <Inkwell> Fiends probably know who I am.
[11:38] <Brazen_Sand> Why would you need a disguise?
[11:38] <@Taurus_II> oh I thought you meant the Lunar meeting
[11:38] <Brazen_Sand> Aye-yi-yi
[11:38] <Brazen_Sand> Well, there's a chance that they'll believe that Inkwell is playing on the same team
[11:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Well, if she reacts to Nomoe's letter and wants to have a meeting before the other meeting, then that would be first ...
[11:39] <Brazen_Sand> I'm okay with either
[11:39] <Inkwell> At least a bit of a hood.
[11:40] <@Taurus_II> well refresh my memory of what you put in the initial letter, again?
[11:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki>
[15:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> After the bath he writes a missive to the two Exalted Deliberators of Lap, in beautiful calligraphy. He briefly outlines the reason for their presence - follow-up on the supposed Solar killing and other matters pertaining to Creation Security - and apologizes for the need to keep their presence a secret as well as their failure to present themselves to the Deliberators in pe
[11:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki>
[15:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If desired they will of course meet with the Deliberators in a private location. The tone of the letter is equisitely polite.
[11:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki>
[15:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If desired they will of course meet with the Deliberators in a private location. The tone of the letter is equisitely polite.
[11:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (in case it cut off)
[11:42] <Brazen_Sand> There should really be a Message In a Bottle Linguistics charm
[11:42] <Brazen_Sand> that ensures that a letter will reach the right person, no matter where it's been sent from
[11:42] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (with 10 sux on making a good impression, and App 13 calligraphy)
[11:42] <Brazen_Sand> Although that does sound a bit more Sidereal
[11:42] <Nomoe_Hideaki> or Bureaucracy
[11:43] <Inkwell> Kind of eclipsed by Infallible Messenger, though.
[11:43] <Brazen_Sand> Not everyone has Sorcery
[11:43] <Inkwell> But don't Sidereals //already// have a Charm that lets you send an item to a specific person?
[11:43] <Brazen_Sand> Or wants to get it
[11:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> A Resplendent Destiny effect to send letters in any case
[11:44] <Brazen_Sand> They do? That would be cool
[11:47] <Brazen_Sand> I got a question. I want to get an Isidoros charm that makes any social attack against someone with low Valor UMI
[11:47] <Brazen_Sand> So does that mean that the person I make a social attack against would KNOW it was UMI?
[11:48] <Inkwell> Yes. System transparency!
[11:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> the player would know
[11:48] <Brazen_Sand> I was more thinking against NPCs
[11:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> the character only if he had essence sight and/or considerable knowledge of NMI/UMI effects
[11:49] <Brazen_Sand> Or if the charm was Obvious, of course
[11:49] <Brazen_Sand> It works with the description of Brazen Sand anyway
[11:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Even if it was Obvious that wouldn't necessarily reveal UMI, though. "There's supernatural social ability at work here" doesn't always translate to UMI.
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> True
[11:51] *** Lady_Daethia has quit IRC: Connection reset by peer
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> Ah, it's not obvious
[11:52] <Brazen_Sand> That also brings up the question of what exactly is defined as social combat
[11:52] <Brazen_Sand> Is asking someone for directions a social attack, for example?
[11:52] <Brazen_Sand> just hypothetically
[11:52] <@Taurus_II> no
[11:52] <@Taurus_II> I mean
[11:53] <@Taurus_II> I suppose it could be
[11:53] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Social attack anything used to convince another to do/or believe something else?
[11:53] <@Taurus_II> but stopping somebody on the street and asking for directions? no
[11:53] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I'm sure it can also be used in intimidation XD "Tell Directions! NOW!" ^^
[11:53] <Brazen_Sand> That's our Malfeas
[11:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I would say it IS one, but an unrolled social attack.
[11:54] <@Taurus_II> yeah
[11:54] <@Taurus_II> an unrolled and usually unresisted one
[11:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Just as you can decide not to use your MDV, you can chose not to roll for your attack.
[11:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> *social attack
[11:56] <Brazen_Sand> Also, if something is an unacceptable order, can you freely decide to do it anyway?
[11:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Sure.
[12:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> You'll defend against the social attack automatically, but that doesn't mean you can't decide on your own to do it anyway.
[12:01] <Brazen_Sand> Makes sense
[12:02] <Brazen_Sand> Uh-oh, Lilith got all dolled up! D:
[12:02] <@Taurus_II> no, not lillith
[12:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Luyu I think her name was?
[12:03] <@Taurus_II> but no you mention it they do look kind of similar
[12:03] <@Taurus_II> yes
[12:03] <@Taurus_II> Luyu
[12:03] <Brazen_Sand> It's the hair
[12:03] <Brazen_Sand> If it was Lilith I'd be like "screw the Limit, I'm out of here!"
[12:05] <Brazen_Sand> bitch be crazy
[12:09] <Brazen_Sand> Did Nomoe's servants prepare pigs in a blanket?
[12:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> They prepared nothing, they only brough in what the kitchen provided. *shrug*
[12:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Considering what we're paying we'd better not have to cook for ourselves ;)
[12:10] <Brazen_Sand> tch, no fun at all : P
[12:11] <@Taurus_II> Dakk, do we have dicebot?
[12:11] <Brazen_Sand> All I'm saying is that if I don't get some of those tiny watercress sandwiches up in my mouth, I'm gonna kill someone! >: O
[12:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> sure, one moment
[12:12] *** Jupiter has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[12:12] *** Jupiter is now known as Pattern_Spider
[12:14] <Inkwell> What were those pamphlets designed to do again, exactly?
[12:14] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I realized we lost Lady D, didn't we?
[12:15] <Inkwell> Inflame anti-Deliberative sentiment?
[12:15] <@Taurus_II> basically, yes
[12:15] <Brazen_Sand> They were basically mindraping porn tracts
[12:15] * Nomoe_Hideaki is purposefully not mentioning alleged sightings of Her Redness.
[12:15] <Brazen_Sand> yes, they did.
[12:15] <Brazen_Sand> Er, I mean yeah we lost Lady Daethia
[12:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> No need to bring that up.
[12:16] <Brazen_Sand> Ruby mentioned it
[12:16] <Brazen_Sand> I was just answering it
[12:16] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> lol
[12:16] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> No no No need to mention sightings of Her Redness
[12:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah
[12:16] <Brazen_Sand> Oooooh
[12:16] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, prolly a good idea not to
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> Would fire work against these pamphlets?
[12:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> they aren't supernaturally resistant to damage
[12:17] <Inkwell> Fire works on everything.
[12:17] <Inkwell> Except Hesiesh, I guess.
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> and fire elementals
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> and Magical Materials
[12:17] <Brazen_Sand> I think >_>
[12:19] <@Taurus_II> the MMs are immune to fire, I'm pretty sure
[12:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Do we need anything?
[12:20] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I ... don't think we do.
[12:20] <Brazen_Sand> Does the automatic Lunar and Solar Bond apply to NPCs?
[12:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Even if so, does it actually work across realms of existence?
[12:21] <@Taurus_II> why do you ask?
[12:21] <Brazen_Sand> Just curious
[12:25] <Brazen_Sand> Ya'll just mad at Brazen cause he's keepin' it real!
[12:26] <@Taurus_II> Luyu and Lokke, at least, do possess the PC-strength bond
[12:26] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> And rude and arrogantly on top of Real. :p
[12:26] <Brazen_Sand> HATERS GONNA HATE *strut*
[12:27] <Brazen_Sand> btw, that needs to be a charm
[12:27] <Brazen_Sand> Haters Gonna Hate Stance
[12:28] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Question as I can't seem to recall. We are here to ascertain the theory that the Purists are using false Exalts to pose as anathema? Which means there was an attack here, yes?
[12:28] <@Taurus_II> yeah
[12:28] <Nomoe_Hideaki> if there was one then it did involve those fake-solars
[12:28] <@Taurus_II> you already visited the site
[12:28] <Nomoe_Hideaki> since there was demonic essence residue at the scene of the 'battle' but no Solar essence
[12:29] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> kk. All clear now. ^^
[12:32] <Brazen_Sand> *ponders how to steal the Sword of the Yozis*
[12:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Difficult without entereing Malfeas ... you aren't welcome there anymore, I think you said, right? ;)
[12:34] <Brazen_Sand> Yup
[12:34] <Inkwell> Nah, it's simple! I'll just pick up Adamant Sorcery and we'll call up Ligier.
[12:34] <Brazen_Sand> Which means we need to do a Third Circle Summoning Spell, and then I'll mug him!
[12:34] <Inkwell> I don't think you can rob a demon with normal summoning, but the Infernal version should do it.
[12:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> You'd need powerful charms, though.
[12:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Since it would be part of the panoply and protected thereby.
[12:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Whatever is the equivalent of Larceny for Infernals ...
[12:35] <Brazen_Sand> I know there's some way to do it
[12:35] <Inkwell> I think using the Infernal summoning gets around that, since it calls him indefinitely.
[12:36] <Brazen_Sand> ah well, it's not an issue right now
[12:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Mmhhh, there probably isn't any way to capture shards ... so would it be practical to permanently imprison the Infernal?
[12:40] <Brazen_Sand> That's just asking for a Hannibal Lector situation
[12:40] <Inkwell> We're going to need some friendship, I think.
[12:41] <Brazen_Sand> Or we could terrify him into submission
[12:42] <Brazen_Sand> ...or her
[12:43] <Inkwell> Fiends don't really //do// that. Come to think of it, they don't really do imprisonment either.
[12:43] <Inkwell> They have an entire breaking-out-of-jail tree.
[12:43] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> nod nod
[12:44] <Brazen_Sand> I mean terrify them into giving us what info we need, then killing them
[12:44] <Brazen_Sand> Or we might only need to hold them long enough to dump them in Yu-Shan on the USC's doorstep
[12:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> "Under a mountain, in essence draining chains" was my idea of imprisonment anyway
[12:45] <Brazen_Sand> *UCS's doorstep
[12:45] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Essence Draining Chains. Eek XD
[12:45] <Brazen_Sand> Eh, getting the UCS to purify the shard would work better
[12:45] <Brazen_Sand> Probably be easier too
[12:45] <Brazen_Sand> Although the Essence-draining chains would be helpful
[12:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Essence-draining chains and a Slave Collar designed to work on Exalts, while being physically restrained to the maximum.
[12:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> That should hold ... for a time at least.
[12:46] <Brazen_Sand> THEN get the shard purified
[12:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Unconscious, of course.
[12:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And really, all we want in the short term is to negate a resource to the Reclamation.
[12:46] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, that's what the purification is for
[12:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If it is possible.
[12:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If there is anyone who can do it.
[12:47] <Brazen_Sand> The Sun
[12:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Which is rather more in question for Infernals than it is for Abyssals IIRC:
[12:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Can he, though?
[12:47] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah. It says that exposing the Shard to the purifying light of the UCS will definitely purify it
[12:47] <Brazen_Sand> but you'd have to kill the Infernal too
[12:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Where does it say that?
[12:48] <Inkwell> And you'd have to capture the shard so it can be worked on. Not easy.
[12:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And that's all OOC besides.
[12:48] <Brazen_Sand> In Infernals
[12:49] <Brazen_Sand> Well it's the best we've got.
[12:49] <Brazen_Sand> And I'm sure that Inkwell could realize that.
[12:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Really?
[12:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> That sounds more like the sort of thing that would be something to non-trivially find out in the game.
[12:50] <Brazen_Sand> I didn't say it would be easy.
[12:51] <@Taurus_II> step one would probably be killing Lillun
[12:51] <@Taurus_II> or hitting her with "Mutations-&-Shaping-B-Gone"
[12:51] <Brazen_Sand> I'd prefer that doing that would just result in a ton of Primordial Shards zooming around under no one's control
[12:51] <Brazen_Sand> Which would be pretty cool
[12:52] <Brazen_Sand> (Shoot, what was the name of that pub we were going to meet them at?)
[12:52] <@Taurus_II> and they do return to the Cabinet, as you recall
[12:52] <Brazen_Sand> but that's boooooring
[12:52] <Brazen_Sand> Just erasing an entire splat like that : (
[12:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> it was a tea house
[12:53] <Inkwell> Having things in the cabinet doesn't mean you can just cleanse them.
[12:53] <Inkwell> They'll leave if you try heavy-duty modification!
[12:53] <@Taurus_II> I never gave it a name, either
[12:53] <Inkwell> You need some kind of Exaltation-grabbing tool. Ask a Deathlord, maybe.
[12:54] <@Taurus_II> point
[12:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Or Sidereals remembering the Jade Prison ... oh wait, they're all dead. In this game, even if they aren't anyway in canon.
[12:54] <Brazen_Sand> MOST of them are dead
[12:55] <Inkwell> Plus the Jade Prison probably requires some absurd thing to get it to work. A million baby souls or something.
[12:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> There weren't many to remember it in the first place.
[12:55] *** Hattori has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[12:55] <Brazen_Sand> most lilely all the Siddies who would remember it
[12:55] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Jade Prison MK 2, now with Autochthonian enhancements. XD
[12:55] * Nomoe_Hideaki waves
[12:55] <Hattori> ugh
[12:55] <Brazen_Sand> Hi Hattori
[12:55] <Hattori> Sorry about that guys
[12:55] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hi hi hattori ^^
[12:55] <Hattori> Technical difficulties
[12:55] <Brazen_Sand> What should the tea house be called?
[12:55] * Hattori has a major headache
[12:55] <Brazen_Sand> hesiah's delight?
[12:55] <Brazen_Sand> Awwwww
[12:56] <Inkwell> I'd say, check the shards for residual memories, but Lytek probably scrubbed every memory of the Prison he could get his hands on to protect his job.
[12:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> brazen is contradicting himself. does he realize that? ;)
[12:56] <Hattori> so, what'd I miss?
[12:56] <Brazen_Sand> Not that much, other then the Steward being clueless and me being rude
[12:56] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> A meeting with the Lunar Steward.
[12:56] <Brazen_Sand> Huh?
[12:56] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Oh no I think she knows that you are rude!
[12:57] <Brazen_Sand> Of course I'm rude, if I wasn't rude, I wouldn't be a good Malfean Slayer, would i?
[12:57] <Brazen_Sand> Just don't forget that, please.
[12:58] <Hattori> where are we right now and what are we doing? 0_0
[12:58] <Brazen_Sand> We're still in the hotel/inn/rich guy place
[12:58] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Uhm in a fancy room, in the hotel/inn thingy where the Dragon got fixed
[12:58] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> *?
[12:58] <Brazen_Sand> Yes
[12:58] <Hattori> okay, and the lunar steward already left?
[12:58] <Brazen_Sand> No
[12:59] <Hattori> what are we talking about with her?
[13:00] <Brazen_Sand> Getting assistance with the meeting
[13:00] *** Hattori is now known as Noldarr
[13:00] <Brazen_Sand> So what are our positions going to be for the next meeting?
[13:01] <Noldarr> did anyone buy a charm that could expand our stealth capacity?
[13:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> what are the deaths of a few mortals compared to a victory over the Purists and a lead on the Infernal
[13:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ?
[13:01] <Inkwell> I'll wear a hood in case of Fiendish appearance. Not sure what else I could do until we get there.
[13:01] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I can, I just was lazy all week XD
[13:01] <Brazen_Sand> Even with charms, I wouldn't be overconfident
[13:02] <Noldarr> well, mainly we need something that can reliably hide us while we're observing
[13:02] <Noldarr> The new Solar War charm is a perfect effect
[13:02] <Brazen_Sand> I think that only me and Inkwell should actually be at the meeting place, while the others should be nearby
[13:02] <Noldarr> I mean even if we're nearby
[13:02] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[13:02] <Noldarr> we'd need something to conceal our presence
[13:02] <Brazen_Sand> I mean AT ALL
[13:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Distance.
[13:03] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I've two things going for me. Optical Shroud and Scrying Apparatus ^^
[13:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Distance, darkness, dark clothes.
[13:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> That's a number external penalties or bonus dice right there.
[13:03] <Brazen_Sand> Darkness won't work too well against a Fiend
[13:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> they can see through darkness? *sigh* of course they can
[13:04] <Noldarr> naturally
[13:04] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Ooh, ya they have that see in the dark charm tree
[13:05] <Noldarr> okay, it's not like we can't pretend to be part of the many, many civilians still active at night in a major city
[13:05] <Noldarr> it's just that anyone with charms suited for this sort of thing will probably be able to detect us if we
[13:05] <Noldarr> give them any reason to
[13:06] <Brazen_Sand> The place will be deserted, remember?
[13:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And five DBs can have a number of Charms between them. Well, once they're there we only have to keep them from escaping :p
[13:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> We could stay at a distance.
[13:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Say, a hundred meters. That should make it hard for them to notice us.
[13:07] <Brazen_Sand> They can't see through walls
[13:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Or at least some of us.
[13:08] <Noldarr> don't we all have appearance 5?
[13:08] <Noldarr> It'll be tough to escape notice if we are spotted
[13:08] <Brazen_Sand> I have Appearance 3
[13:08] <Noldarr> I mean, of the ones who are hiding
[13:09] <Brazen_Sand> Ergh...
[13:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Okay.
[13:10] <Brazen_Sand> well, we could blast our animas if things get out of hand enough
[13:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Inkwell and Brazen will be AT the meeting.
[13:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Ruby can be invisble.
[13:10] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> nod nod
[13:10] <Brazen_Sand> Hey, how'd she know that I was an Infernal?
[13:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Hideaki can at least get a decent stealth pool.
[13:10] <Noldarr> I...cannot get at least a decent stealth pool
[13:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Daethia doesn't need to be anywhere close to be able to use her bow.
[13:11] <Noldarr> but
[13:11] <Noldarr> I do have a really really fast horse
[13:11] <Noldarr> *magical unicorn
[13:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> As long as she can see what's going on (and her player is absent currently :s)
[13:11] <@Taurus_II> Brazen
[13:11] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Noldarr, the bright light in the dark, the wolf in a crowd of sheep. The bright neon pink shirt among all the grey ^^
[13:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yeah. Stay at a distance and watch for an easily recognizable signal - then move in.
[13:11] <@Taurus_II> you said that you were wearing glowing green armor and had a glowing green spear.
[13:11] <Noldarr> lol
[13:11] <Brazen_Sand> I didn't say it was *glowing*
[13:11] <Brazen_Sand> just shining
[13:12] <Brazen_Sand> It was in the day-time, after all
[13:12] <@Taurus_II> close enough
[13:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Not animas, though.
[13:12] <Brazen_Sand> I'm a Slayer, I can yell REALLY REALLY LOUD
[13:12] <Noldarr> yes, let's try to avoid animas as much as possible
[13:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> We want to keep this quiet, which will be hard if everyone in the city notices our animas.
[13:12] <Inkwell> Aren't you known to the Deliberative? She ought to know what you look like.
[13:12] <Noldarr> unless we're inside like a big building with no windows
[13:12] <Brazen_Sand> does anyone have super-natural hearing or sight?
[13:13] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Essence Sight
[13:13] <Brazen_Sand> If the rest of you stay together, then we only need one person who can see it
[13:13] <Brazen_Sand> Then they can tell the rest
[13:13] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Actually, even from a hundred meters away you should be able to think of a recognizable signal that doesn't involve fireworks.
[13:14] <Brazen_Sand> Inkwell, you're good at this essence manipulation stuff, aren't you?
[13:14] <Inkwell> I have Essence sight, yes.
[13:14] <Noldarr> hold up
[13:15] <Brazen_Sand> Or we could just roll ???+War to put our group in a good place
[13:15] <Noldarr> do the people in neighborhood relocation scheme
[13:15] <Noldarr> know that they're being moved
[13:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> if they spend wp, yes. I think.
[13:16] <Brazen_Sand> You can't just move one part of a city though
[13:16] <Inkwell> But if they don't, they think it's always been there.
[13:16] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Its either all or none
[13:16] <Brazen_Sand> At least not without causing ultra-chaos
[13:16] <Brazen_Sand> Not to mention that shifting the Penitent would probably cause catastrophic geomantic damage
[13:16] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Well for now, who knows what the errata will do with Sidereal charms XD
[13:16] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Ya that too
[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> Is it possible to make my spear do bashing damage? Hit them with the flat of it or something?
[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> Oh wait, Essence users
[13:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Just hit them as hard as you can.
[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> They'll just go incapacitated
[13:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Just don't kick them when they're down ;)
[13:18] <Brazen_Sand> Heh, a single nudge kills them
[13:18] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Ha take that... *kick* Aw... drats.
[13:18] <Brazen_Sand> Damn you 1B damage!
[13:18] <Inkwell> Principle-Invoking Onslaught and it's independent clinches should help here.
[13:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> mmhhh
[13:19] <Brazen_Sand> The only problem is that if we blow our wad and make ourselves real visible
[13:19] <Brazen_Sand> well, the Fiend might just disappear
[13:19] <Brazen_Sand> If he doesn't show up.
[13:19] <Noldarr> don't turn into a balrog
[13:19] <Brazen_Sand> if the Fiend does show up, I'll go for him
[13:19] <Noldarr> There is the possibility that the fiend will also
[13:19] <Noldarr> be observing from a distance
[13:19] <Brazen_Sand> *sigh* fine, no Balrog
[13:20] <Brazen_Sand> Then you guys should be looking for that as well
[13:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Oh, I will be ;)
[13:20] <Noldarr> are any of us good at that?
[13:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> If he is visible to essence sight ...
[13:20] <Brazen_Sand> Problem is that he likely won't register as a Warlock to Essence Sight
[13:20] <Inkwell> Have you got Dim Irrelevancies Unveiled?
[13:20] <Noldarr> yeah
[13:20] <Brazen_Sand> with Loom-Entangling whatever
[13:20] <Brazen_Sand> I've got Insignificant Embers Intuition
[13:21] <Brazen_Sand> You could use Eye of the Unconquered Sun, but that would be really visible
[13:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So long as he registers as an Ess X essence channeler he goes down if it looks like he is watching the fight.
[13:21] <Brazen_Sand> I don't have it though
[13:21] <Noldarr> lol
[13:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Actually, if it looks like he is watching the meeting he goes down even if he looks like a mortla.
[13:22] <Noldarr> make sure not to gank a fellow deliberator accidentally
[13:22] <Brazen_Sand> If you see him, then zip over and knock him out
[13:22] <Noldarr> well, I guess the worse that can happen is that they get Befriended
[13:22] <Brazen_Sand> I don't see Befriending a Fiend working out well
[13:23] <Brazen_Sand> Anyway, I think we're ready.
[13:23] <Noldarr> eh, it might not work on him
[13:23] <Noldarr> but the charm prevents me from killing them regardless
[13:24] <Noldarr> the main issue is it's almost impossible to effectively restrain a fiend
[13:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that's a problem for another day, though
[13:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> first get the DBs. THEN (unless he shows as well) get the Infernal.
[13:24] <Brazen_Sand> Fine
[13:25] <Brazen_Sand> If the Fiend shows up, I'll concentrate on him, okay?
[13:25] <Noldarr> sure
[13:25] <Noldarr> there's unlikely to be any other celestial-level threats
[13:25] <Noldarr> and he'll definitely be more dangerous long-term than any DBs
[13:25] <Brazen_Sand> I can use by Rage Recast to fly without giving myself away like using DTAS
[13:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> DTAS?
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> Devil-Tyrant Avatar Shintai
[13:26] <Noldarr> his balrog
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> You know, Balrog?
[13:26] <Noldarr> form
[13:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Right.
[13:27] <Brazen_Sand> So if you see a green comet flying upwards, then you know it's time to fight
[13:27] <Brazen_Sand> It won't be noticable enough for everyone to see
[13:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> You call that not giving yourself away?
[13:28] <Brazen_Sand> probably look more like fireworks from a distance
[13:28] <Brazen_Sand> Compared to DTAS? Yes!
[13:28] <Brazen_Sand> And if I'm using that, then the Fiend is likely there and stealth is meaningless
[13:28] <Inkwell> I guess I'll just keep the Charms I had loaded up and be ready for whatever happens.
[13:29] <Brazen_Sand> I'm not going to use those charms if I'm just dealing with DBs : P
[13:29] <Noldarr> I really hope you guys don't need our help
[13:29] <Noldarr> with the dbs
[13:30] <Brazen_Sand> We shouldn't be overconfident
[13:30] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Immaculates can be hardcore
[13:30] <Brazen_Sand> Actually, if he is there, can I go Balrog on his ass?
[13:30] <Brazen_Sand> he could be really powerful
[13:31] <Brazen_Sand> If anyone asks...eh, the Steward did it
[13:31] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> NO! You cannot be scary demon to fight another XD
[13:31] <Nomoe_Hideaki> brb
[13:31] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> lol
[13:31] <Brazen_Sand> But Scary Demon fights are the best kind!
[13:31] <Brazen_Sand> Man, I spent 5 charms to do that : <
[13:31] <Noldarr> do any of us have Holy attacks
[13:31] <Brazen_Sand> I'm sure you do
[13:32] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Eh... I don't think I do.. I'm not even sure the kind Alchies get work like the others.
[13:32] <Noldarr> I think I actually don't
[13:32] <Brazen_Sand> They get Axiomatic charms, I think
[13:32] <Noldarr> I could buy one
[13:32] <Noldarr> but I'm kinda saving up
[13:32] <Brazen_Sand> for what?
[13:32] <Noldarr> for when I decide where I'm going with this build
[13:33] <Brazen_Sand> just curious. I'm nosy
[13:33] <Brazen_Sand> Alright, let's do this thing!
[13:34] <@Taurus_II> so you're all ready?
[13:34] <Noldarr> Let's.
[13:34] <Brazen_Sand> I am
[13:35] <Brazen_Sand> Also, if shit really does hit the fan, I am going Godzilla on his ass. But only if I really need to.
[13:36] <@Taurus_II> ok
[13:36] <Brazen_Sand> Again, if anyone asks, it was the Lunar >_>
[13:37] * Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby points to the terrible demon Brazen Sand with an impish smile. "Its him all him!" *runs*
[13:37] <Noldarr> I mean, just look at him
[13:37] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen Sand stops..."uhhh...I'M A LUNAR. Praise Luna and stuff."
[13:37] <Noldarr> there's no way that thing could possibly be
[13:37] <Noldarr> brazen sand
[13:38] <Noldarr> they don't even look alike
[13:38] <Brazen_Sand> "Oh man, I am totally going to eat that horse's heart and take it's form. because I am a Lunar and that is what I do."
[13:38] <Noldarr> where could anyone get the idea that this random kaiju is brazen sand
[13:38] <Brazen_Sand> Sounds pretty paranoid to me
[13:38] <Noldarr> that's like saying godzilla is actually some random infernal
[13:38] <Noldarr> waitasecond
[13:38] <Brazen_Sand> I mean, no one knows of any Malfean Kaiju charms
[13:38] <Brazen_Sand> but there ARE Lunar Kaiju charms
[13:38] <Noldarr> that explains how it knows green sun nimbus flare!
[13:39] <Noldarr> and all the nuclear imagery!
[13:39] <Noldarr> it all makes sense now!
[13:39] * Nomoe_Hideaki is properly back now
[13:39] <Brazen_Sand> No wait, actually I'm Santa Lunar
[13:39] <Brazen_Sand> I'm bringing presents to everyone.
[13:41] <Brazen_Sand> Hmmm...what would happen if a Fiend used Loom-Entangling disguise while also using DTAS?
[13:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> you are in the tea house?
[13:41] <Brazen_Sand> "Oh no wait, that's just a Sidereal, nvm."
[13:41] <Brazen_Sand> yes
[13:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I thought you meant to meet outside?
[13:42] <Brazen_Sand> Well we aren't just going to sit around doing nothing
[13:42] <Nomoe_Hideaki> when I said we go now, I didn't mean you two
[13:42] <Nomoe_Hideaki> :p
[13:42] <Brazen_Sand> and it's clearly already a meeting place for them. I mean, they had the mindrape tracts right out in the open inside
[13:42] <Brazen_Sand> Well it's been a few hours
[13:42] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Tracks
[13:43] <Brazen_Sand> no, tracts
[13:43] <Brazen_Sand> As in Jack Chick
[13:43] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> ?
[13:43] <Brazen_Sand> Jack Chick Tracts?
[13:43] <Brazen_Sand> Urgh, the pamphlets!
[13:43] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> heh
[13:43] <Noldarr> hm
[13:43] <Noldarr> if I buy that ranged counterattack charm
[13:44] <Noldarr> I could retaliate to the tracts by killing the person who wrote 'em
[13:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh, that's Malfeas' response to everything, isn't it? :D
[13:44] <Brazen_Sand> That would be boring
[13:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> wouldn't help us with finding his friends, er, temporary allies and nefarious plans either
[13:45] <Brazen_Sand> And it would tell him that there are Solars running around in there
[13:45] <Brazen_Sand> Is Inkwell afraid of gaining Paradox because it would be a Vulgar effect?
[13:46] <Brazen_Sand> ;P
[13:46] <Inkwell> Somebody might catch me using Essence!
[13:47] <Brazen_Sand> well yeah
[13:49] <Brazen_Sand> *ahem* Noldarr?
[13:49] <Noldarr> yes
[13:49] <Brazen_Sand> where are you?
[13:49] <Noldarr> I'm at the scene
[13:49] <Noldarr> where the other guys are hiding
[13:50] <Brazen_Sand> In clear sight?
[13:50] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hehe I just envisioned Noldarr in a Police Chief's suit and tie. XD
[13:50] <Noldarr> lol
[13:51] <Noldarr> lol
[13:51] <Noldarr> emo inkwell
[13:52] <Brazen_Sand> haha

[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> what's it opposed by?
[13:54] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Bad pattern spider roll lower :p
[13:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> against a fixed difficulty of (Man+Soc)/2
[13:54] <Noldarr> probably manipulation { socialize
[13:54] <Noldarr> you can, of course, use excellencies
[13:54] <Brazen_Sand> >_>
[13:54] <Brazen_Sand> Uhhh...
[13:54] <Brazen_Sand> shit, so that's 2
[13:54] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Look Brazen is a typically Rude OPEN book ^^
[13:54] <Noldarr> madness?
[13:54] <Noldarr> THIS.
[13:55] <Noldarr> IS.
[13:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah. That's what we get for sending in these two ;)
[13:55] <Noldarr> CREATION.
[13:55] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> That's okay Rounded up. I'm a 2 too XD
[13:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> but then, we didn't expect them to go "hay guys, let us show you our hq and meet all the other guys! Especially this one guy, he's awesome at being a dick!"
[13:56] <Noldarr> I'm a 3
[13:56] <Noldarr> before excellencies
[13:56] <Noldarr> manipulation 1

[13:59] <Taurus_II> still no Op
[13:59] <Taurus_II> but oh well
[13:59] <Brazen_Sand> So what now?
[13:59] <Noldarr> not like we need one
[14:00] <Noldarr> btw, brazen, read motivation works on your motivations for the scene
[14:00] <Noldarr> like mastery of small manners
[14:00] <Inkwell> At least I bought up Integrity, if not any other useful thing.
[14:00] <Brazen_Sand> Wait, you get to use Integrity? Cause I have a lot of that
[14:00] <Nomoe_Hideaki> nah
[14:01] <Brazen_Sand> blast!
[14:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> but if they try to convert you to the cause ...
[14:01] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, I guess I want to meet the leader of their movement
[14:01] <Noldarr> who doesn't/
[14:01] <Noldarr> well, besides any sane person
[14:01] <Brazen_Sand> Whatever works
[14:02] <Inkwell> It's going to be hard to use Conceptual Context Expansion here without blowing my cover. Unfortunate!
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> Go go go
[14:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> btw, is there anyone else outside who seems to be watching the tea houser, essence channellers in particular? Using Essence Sight to pierce the darkness and highlight essence use for me.
[14:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Taurus, you saw Brazen's and Inkwell's responses to the fire aspect's question, right?
[14:04] <Taurus_II> yes
[14:04] <Taurus_II> I did see them
[14:04] <Brazen_Sand> What's their response?
[14:04] <Taurus_II> and no, there is nobody watching
[14:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> just checking, since you left the channel shortly afterwards
[14:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ok :)
[14:04] <Taurus_II> I'm pondering their response
[14:04] <Brazen_Sand> Also, is that against both me and Inkwell?
[14:04] <Taurus_II> yes
[14:04] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Are you pondering what I am pondering Pinky?
[14:05] <Brazen_Sand> teh read Motivation action? Cause I think you would make a seperate roll for both of us
[14:05] <Taurus_II> oh fine
[14:05] <Taurus_II> .ex 12
[14:05] <Pattern_Spider> Taurus_II rolled 3 successes against TN 7[4, 5, 5, 8, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 9]
[14:05] <Taurus_II> that against Inkwell
[14:05] <Noldarr> his emo-ness makes him inscrutable!
[14:05] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hehe
[14:05] <Inkwell> I'm stunting to raise my MDV by putting hair in my eyes.
[14:06] <Noldarr> Fire Aspect: "I just...can't see past his hair!!!"
[14:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heheheh
[14:06] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> lol
[14:06] <Brazen_Sand> nice
[14:06] <Brazen_Sand> XD
[14:06] <Brazen_Sand> Well, he got my motivation, but it's pretty non-suspicious
[14:06] <Taurus_II> mhm
[14:07] <Noldarr> >_<
[14:07] <Brazen_Sand> I guess they weren't prepared for this to not be a raid
[14:07] <Brazen_Sand> (or not appear as one)
[14:07] <Brazen_Sand> "Uhhh...we have to...go."
[14:08] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> brb
[14:08] <Taurus_II> no
[14:08] <Brazen_Sand> Okay, you weren't then : P
[14:08] <Taurus_II> heh
[14:08] <Brazen_Sand> Would it help you if I flipped over a table?
[14:09] <Noldarr> brazenly?
[14:09] <Brazen_Sand> and Sandly
[14:10] <Taurus_II> no
[14:10] <Noldarr> I dunno about that last part...
[14:10] <Brazen_Sand> Why not just have them go "Okay, go give out these tracts. bye bye."
[14:11] <Taurus_II> *shakes head* a new batch wouldn't be ready quick enough
[14:11] <Brazen_Sand> Ah screw it. Inkwell, can you mindrape the location of the leader please?"
[14:11] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> back
[14:12] <Taurus_II> noo
[14:12] <Inkwell> If you make him talk about the leader, I can do it, but he'll know I did it.
[14:12] <Taurus_II> I'm typing
[14:12] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I gather phase 1 has flopped? XD
[14:12] <Brazen_Sand> Why not? There's a Swillin charm for that.
[14:12] <Brazen_Sand> No, Taurus is UNDER THE GUN NOW!
[14:12] <Brazen_Sand> TUFF LUV, that's how I treat my DMs
[14:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ... and then the tea house EXPLODES! :D
[14:12] <Brazen_Sand> on valentines it becomes TUFF WUV
[14:13] <Brazen_Sand> Nope, you don't need the guy to talk about it, Inkwell
[14:14] <Brazen_Sand> Under Analytical Modelling Intuition
[14:14] <Inkwell> I don't have that.
[14:14] <Brazen_Sand> D'oh
[14:14] <Inkwell> I only have Conceptual Context Expansion, so I can force him to tell me more about things.
[14:15] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> ha! Now we know the evil evil Warlock is actually a witch!
[14:15] <Inkwell> But now that she's mentioned the leader, I could use it. She'll just know I forced her to talk.
[14:15] <Noldarr> IT'S LUYU
[14:15] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Oooh... Oo
[14:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Can't be.
[14:15] <Noldarr> lol
[14:15] <Brazen_Sand> WUT A TWEEST /Shamalyan
[14:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> She'd be an Akuma and Inkwell found out it's a GSP.
[14:16] <Inkwell> Why did I think it was a GSP again? Multiple Yozi Charms?
[14:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> You analyzed the writing.
[14:16] <Brazen_Sand> You were able to tell because of the Is or something
[14:16] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> We want you... to bring us back a shrubery.
[14:17] <Brazen_Sand> FFFFFFFUUUUUUU
[14:17] <Inkwell> Oh, that's right, he has a Motivation and an Urge.
[14:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yeah.
[14:17] * Taurus_II runs off to babynames.com for a moment
[14:17] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hehe
[14:17] <Brazen_Sand> Taurus, I didn't know you were such a lady's man
[14:17] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I use that a lot.
[14:19] * Inkwell writes Elloge Charms: (Link: http://forums.white-wolf.com/cs/forums/t/35139.aspx)http://forums.white-wolf.com/cs/forums/t/35139.aspx
[14:19] <Inkwell> There's three more to make the bottom of a tree.
[14:22] <Brazen_Sand> I prefered Revlid's idea of Elloge as a Yozis who can no longer communicate with anyone
[14:22] <Brazen_Sand> but still has tons of ideas, and has been driven insane by this inability to communicate properly
[14:25] <Taurus_II> ninja'd you there, I think
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> that's okay, it still works
[14:28] <Noldarr> I sense social attacks incoming
[14:29] <Taurus_II> yes
[14:29] <Noldarr> c'mon guys, act like your respective yozis!
[14:29] <Brazen_Sand> You suuuuuure?
[14:30] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> We don't Brazen to be Malfean things up now XD
[14:30] <Inkwell> Honestly, I think I'm just going to CCE and then fight them all.
[14:30] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Heh. Actually for once it's not the worst thing he could do :p
[14:30] <Inkwell> I don't like their attitude.
[14:31] <Brazen_Sand> Hi-yah!
[14:31] <Inkwell> I'm going to spend seven motes on my Excellency for 17 dice.
[14:31] <Inkwell> .ex 17
[14:31] <Pattern_Spider> Inkwell rolled 6 successes against TN 7[10, 8, 1, 4, 4, 10, 2, 4, 1, 5, 2, 3, 7, 4, 3, 2, 3]
[14:31] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 9 + 7 motes of Malfean Excellency
[14:31] <Pattern_Spider> invalid syntax - target number has to be an actual number
[14:31] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 16
[14:31] <Pattern_Spider> Brazen_Sand rolled 9 successes against TN 7[2, 5, 10, 2, 8, 6, 7, 10, 3, 4, 8, 7, 6, 3, 8, 3]
[14:32] <Inkwell> Bloody stupid damn virtual dice!
[14:32] <Brazen_Sand> I guess that counts as a 1-die stunt
[14:32] <Brazen_Sand> *takes 2 back :3
[14:32] <Brazen_Sand> 2 motes back
[14:33] <Brazen_Sand> I has 16 personal motes left
[14:33] <Taurus_II> ok
[14:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> what did you roll for?
[14:33] <Noldarr> NMI
[14:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Ah.
[14:34] <Taurus_II> neither of you beat their MDVs
[14:34] <Taurus_II> and now I'll roll for them
[14:34] <Taurus_II> trying to persuade you to go along with it
[14:34] <Taurus_II> .ex 12
[14:34] <Pattern_Spider> Taurus_II rolled 5 successes against TN 7[3, 9, 3, 8, 4, 10, 1, 2, 3, 2, 2, 9]
[14:34] <Taurus_II> heh
[14:34] <Brazen_Sand> Pathetic
[14:35] <Brazen_Sand> Inkwell, shall we Infernal them up?
[14:35] <Inkwell> It's time to Principle-Invoking Onslaught a bitch. Or five.
[14:35] <Inkwell> Time to get some use out of my independent clinches!
[14:35] <Brazen_Sand> Or we could point out the mind-rapeage in the tracts
[14:36] <Inkwell> Whatever, they're clearly evil.
[14:36] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hehe
[14:36] <Brazen_Sand> They prefer the term "Compassion-deficient"
[14:36] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> lol
[14:36] <Inkwell> Well, I have Compassion 5, and it tells me it's time to kill them all!
[14:37] <Brazen_Sand> Doesn't that usually say "they need someoen to teach them differently" or something?
[14:37] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> I haven't had my daily dose of Compassion. So I'm a little Compassion-deficient.
[14:37] <Taurus_II> if you kill them all you won't get to find out more about the leader
[14:37] <Brazen_Sand> You're right, let's knock them out and then interrogate them.
[14:37] <Brazen_Sand> You sure there's no one watching?
[14:37] <Noldarr> well, inkwell used conceptual context expansion on them
[14:37] <Noldarr> did that work?
[14:37] <Inkwell> I'll use magical telekinetic clinches to drag them back to bsae.
[14:37] <Taurus_II> didn't penetrate the MDVs
[14:37] <Inkwell> No, the stupid dice betrayed me!
[14:37] <Brazen_Sand> Hey, leave me some
[14:37] <Noldarr> lol
[14:38] <Brazen_Sand> btw, Brazen asked a question.
[14:39] * Nomoe_Hideaki can't do anything but continue to keep watch over the neighbourhood with essence sight
[14:39] <Brazen_Sand> How's this for a signal, I throw one of the DBs through a glass window?
[14:39] <Inkwell> Also, the monk is going to know that I used evil powers on her mind.
[14:39] <Inkwell> So I'm just going to go ahead and Join Battle.
[14:39] <Noldarr> lol
[14:40] <Inkwell> With my amazing pool of... 4.
[14:40] <Inkwell> .ex 4
[14:40] <Pattern_Spider> Inkwell rolled 1 successes against TN 7[1, 6, 3, 9]
[14:40] <Brazen_Sand> Wait wait wait, let's try to leave, then tehy can be all like "we can't let you leave"
[14:40] <Noldarr> no, stunt!
[14:40] <Brazen_Sand> Ah crap, you know they're going to blame me for this!
[14:40] <Brazen_Sand> : (
[14:41] <Taurus_II> hmm
[14:41] <Taurus_II> Join battle is Wits+ Awareness, isn't it
[14:41] <Brazen_Sand> Well, how do I toss one through a window?
[14:41] <Taurus_II> hang on
[14:41] <Inkwell> It is. Kind of wish I had Awareness, but I had to spend it all on seven bloody Crafts.
[14:42] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Wits + Aware = JB and JD
[14:43] <Taurus_II> Dakk, I don't suppose there's a way to get the Spiders to roll multiple sets at once?
[14:43] <Noldarr> er, yeah
[14:43] <Noldarr> that might be a good idea
[14:43] <Noldarr> otherwise whenever someone flurries
[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> I flurry Perception + Awareness rolls with Insignificant Ember Intuition
[14:43] <Noldarr> they'll need to roll a lot
[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> Or we could just use Invisible Castle
[14:43] <Brazen_Sand> oh wait, that wouldn't even work well. Shit
[14:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> umm
[14:43] <Noldarr> yup
[14:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> no
[14:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> no multiple rolls
[14:44] <Taurus_II> darn
[14:44] <Taurus_II> oh well
[14:44] <Taurus_II> .ex 6
[14:44] <Pattern_Spider> Taurus_II rolled 1 successes against TN 7[6, 8, 2, 5, 3, 2]
[14:44] * Nomoe_Hideaki shrugs. Unless they do 12 attacks each it should be ok though, right?
[14:44] <Taurus_II> .ex 6
[14:44] <Pattern_Spider> Taurus_II rolled 4 successes against TN 7[1, 7, 8, 2, 2, 10]

[14:45] <Brazen_Sand> Me tossing a DB through the window!
[14:45] <Noldarr> don't you have anything that you can do reflexively?
[14:46] <Brazen_Sand> Unless you want everyone noticing what's going on? No
[14:46] <Inkwell> I never bought Force-Suppression Barrier, so no. Which is unfortunate.
[14:46] <Brazen_Sand> I'm Isidoros/Malfeas, I don't do subtle charms
[14:46] <Taurus_II> .ex 6

[14:46] <Pattern_Spider> Taurus_II rolled 5 successes against TN 7[7, 7, 9, 3, 7, 9]
[14:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Heh.
[14:46] <Taurus_II> Brazen
[14:46] <Taurus_II> did you roll JB?
[14:47] <Brazen_Sand> hold on
[14:47] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 8
[14:47] <Pattern_Spider> Brazen_Sand rolled 1 successes against TN 7[8, 3, 3, 1, 3, 5, 2, 6]
[14:47] <Brazen_Sand> Dammit
[14:48] <Brazen_Sand> Now how do I smash one through a window?
[14:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Clinch and release
[14:48] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> You don't they throw you through the window XD
[14:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Or enough pre-soak damage for knockback
[14:48] <Inkwell> Well, at least I've got my Mind-Hand up.
[14:48] <Brazen_Sand> How much pre-soak damage do I need?
[14:48] <Brazen_Sand> ...WTF INKWELL?
[14:49] <Inkwell> I fight with telekinesis. I don't have to get up.
[14:49] <Noldarr> he doesn't need to move
[14:49] <Noldarr> he's like magneto
[14:49] <Brazen_Sand> You can't just do a stealth join battle roll
[14:49] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Aw... lazy man fighiting XD
[14:49] <Brazen_Sand> Oh great, now I look like an asshole >: (
[14:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh
[14:49] <Noldarr> no one can see you!
[14:49] <Inkwell> I marshalled invisible energies!
[14:49] <Brazen_Sand> Why didn't you just make an unexpected attack then?
[14:49] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> what? You aren't?
[14:49] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> :p
[14:49] <Brazen_Sand> I'm rude, not an asshole
[14:49] <Inkwell> I forget, how do I make an unexpected attack?
[14:50] <Brazen_Sand> Uh, you attack them with said invisible energies
[14:50] <Brazen_Sand> Which they didn't see, thus it's unexpected
[14:50] <Inkwell> I do that, then!
[14:50] <Brazen_Sand> Too late >_<
[14:51] <Noldarr> do we see the fire?
[14:51] <Taurus_II> hang on hang on
[14:51] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Hmmm I hope the building is okay. Fire Aspect animas vs wood XD
[14:51] <Brazen_Sand> yeah
[14:51] <Brazen_Sand> good thing I've got hardness
[14:52] <Inkwell> I've got Parry DV and that's about it. Hopefully I can enclinchinate a few of these DBs in some debilitating way.
[14:53] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> No DDV?
[14:53] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> (Likely because you are sitting no?)
[14:53] <Brazen_Sand> that's nothing a stunt can't fix
[14:53] <Brazen_Sand> You sure I can't just go Godzilla on them now?
[14:54] <Inkwell> Well, I guess I have a Dodge DV, but I don't have any Dodge, so it kind of isn't very good.
[14:54] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> :p No, never!
[14:54] <Brazen_Sand> You're so mean ;_;
[14:54] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> ahhhh
[14:54] <Taurus_II> okay
[14:54] <Brazen_Sand> Okay to Godzilla?
[14:54] <Taurus_II> so they just readies weapons and activated their Form Charms
[14:55] <Inkwell> I guess I need to spend ten motes on my Excellency for a 25-dot pool, and one Willpower to reduce the TN to 6 for extra yes.
[14:55] <Taurus_II> no, I was just telling you what they did
[14:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Just tell the rest of us as soon as there's something for us to notice the fight inside ... would essence sight be able to notice the anima activated inside and/or charms being used?
[14:55] <Brazen_Sand> Oh man, I can't resist.
[14:55] <Inkwell> Well, nine motes, since I've used it once now.
[14:55] <Brazen_Sand> RAAAAAAARGH
[14:55] <Taurus_II> wait for your tick, Brazen
[14:55] <Brazen_Sand> I will, I will.
[14:55] <Inkwell> But I guess until I actually get a tick I just have to try to not die.
[14:56] <Brazen_Sand> They're taking Simple Actions
[14:56] <Inkwell> Wait, they're putting up Form-type Charms in front of us?
[14:56] <Brazen_Sand> yes
[14:56] <Inkwell> Wow, they're even dumber than I am!
[14:56] <Inkwell> Why didn't I bring the instant-death Shaping?
[14:56] <Brazen_Sand> That's why I'm using DTAS. When else will I get a chance like this to use a Simple Action as well?
[14:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> they have free reflexives just like we do
[14:57] <Inkwell> They don't have anti-Shaping like we do, though.
[14:57] <Brazen_Sand> Simple Actions mean that you can't do anything else
[14:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> but that is true regardless of what they do
[14:57] *** Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby has quit IRC: Ping timeout
[14:57] <Noldarr> simple actions means you can still use free reflexives
[14:57] <Brazen_Sand> Works for me.
[14:57] <Noldarr> because they don't count as charm activations and they're still reflexive
[14:58] <Inkwell> Hm, so who goes next, then?
[14:58] <Taurus_II> sorry
[14:58] <Taurus_II> managing 5 essence pools :P
[14:58] <Brazen_Sand> Just say they all glow int heir respective colours
[14:59] <Taurus_II> right
[14:59] <Noldarr> taurus, you should really use Epsilon's NPC system
[14:59] <Noldarr> for fights of this magnitude
[14:59] <Brazen_Sand> I sent it to him
[14:59] <Noldarr> otherwise it will be
[14:59] <Noldarr> CHAOS
[14:59] <Brazen_Sand> But he seems to have forgotten. I feel so unwanted ;_;
[14:59] <Taurus_II> I am using his system
[14:59] <Taurus_II> I still have to manage essence expenditure
[14:59] <Taurus_II> unless I missed something
[14:59] <Brazen_Sand> ah
[15:00] <Brazen_Sand> nvm then
[15:00] <Taurus_II> and I dunno about you guys
[15:00] *** Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[15:00] <Taurus_II> but I don't have all the effects of the Immaculate Dragon Styles memorized
[15:00] <Nomoe_Hideaki> wb
[15:00] <Taurus_II> so I'm having to look stuff up
[15:00] <Nomoe_Hideaki> not all of them ;)
[15:00] <Brazen_Sand> You really should've done this before the session -_-
[15:01] * Nomoe_Hideaki puts descriptions of what the charm does and how much it costs behind the name in my NPC write-ups
[15:01] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> >> Darn stinky connection.
[15:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki>
[22:55:29] Nomoe_Hideaki: Just tell the rest of us as soon as there's something for us to notice the fight inside ... would essence sight be able to notice the anima activated inside and/or charms being used?
[15:01] <Brazen_Sand> Also, are we to assume that they all have complete mastery of each style?
[15:01] * Noldarr just makes up random charm effects that sound cool for his NPCs
[15:01] <Inkwell> Brazen, he probably wasn't expecting me to decide to kill them all.
[15:02] <Brazen_Sand> Well, he could probably expect us to fight them at some point
[15:02] <Noldarr> how much of each style they have doesn't really matter terribly except for water
[15:02] <Noldarr> the other styles don't have any really relevant defenses against us
[15:02] <Brazen_Sand> Well, at least I won't be glowing
[15:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Depends. Air Style Masters can do pretty nasty flurries.
[15:03] <Inkwell> I can always flurry in a signal to the others with some kind of shaping thing.
[15:03] <Brazen_Sand> Inkwell, you'll want to move 3 yards away
[15:03] <Brazen_Sand> Oh don't worry, they'll notice.
[15:03] <Brazen_Sand> What with the slight explosion
[15:04] <Taurus_II> ok, Inkwell
[15:04] <Taurus_II> you're up
[15:05] <Inkwell> I guess I'll do a flurry!
[15:05] <Brazen_Sand> Just for reference, there are 3 DBs here?
[15:05] <Noldarr> i thought all 5
[15:05] <Noldarr> were here
[15:05] <Noldarr> ?
[15:06] <Brazen_Sand> Me too, but it only has 3 putting up form charms
[15:06] <Noldarr> he's probably not done yet
[15:06] <Noldarr> one of them
[15:06] <Noldarr> had a really bad jb roll
[15:06] <Brazen_Sand> Inkwell's up
[15:06] <Brazen_Sand> Not worse then ours XD
[15:06] <Brazen_Sand> We both got 1 suc
[15:06] <Noldarr> no, it was 1 sux
[15:06] <Noldarr> so that one is simultaneous
[15:06] <Noldarr> with you
[15:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 7
[15:06] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 2 successes against TN 7[7, 4, 6, 3, 8, 3, 1]
[15:06] <Inkwell> First, a move action in which I fling myself back behind Brazen Sand, alongside two Mind-Hand attacks against the Fire Aspect and the Wood aspect, trying to clinch them.
[15:06] <Noldarr> are we JBing?
[15:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Four successes on Join Battle - I am, since my essence sight is picking up on the essence expenditures
[15:07] <Brazen_Sand> How big is the teahouse?
[15:07] <Taurus_II> um
[15:08] <Brazen_Sand> I'd be about...hmm, I'd guess 15 feet tall soon
[15:08] <Brazen_Sand> XD Postman's hat
[15:08] <Noldarr> I assume that's a 2 die stunt
[15:08] <Noldarr> ?
[15:08] <Brazen_Sand> you said post officer
[15:08] <Noldarr> *shrug*
[15:08] <Brazen_Sand> ooooh, I misread it adn thought you had been disguised as a mailman for some reason
[15:09] <Noldarr> oh, I was
[15:09] <Inkwell> I'll enhance both attacks with my Excellency for nine and eight motes each, and use two motes and two Willpower to enhance the clinch with PIO.
[15:09] <Noldarr> that was my disguise
[15:09] <Noldarr> ^_^
[15:09] <Brazen_Sand> You can only spend 1 willpower per turn, I believe
[15:09] <Noldarr> no, you can spend more
[15:09] <Brazen_Sand> k
[15:09] <Noldarr> there are charms that cost 2wp
[15:09] <Brazen_Sand> derp, my bad
[15:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 1
[15:09] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 0 successes against TN 7[1], BOTCH!
[15:10] <Noldarr> using supreme perfection of awareness
[15:10] <Noldarr> .ex 18
[15:10] <Pattern_Spider> Noldarr rolled 4 successes against TN 7[2, 2, 6, 3, 5, 4, 5, 6, 3, 8, 7, 1, 8, 3, 8, 4, 6, 2]
[15:10] <Brazen_Sand> Gah, no one's going to let me have any fun : (
[15:10] <Inkwell> So, 25 dice in each pool minus flurry penalties. What are those penalties again?
[15:10] <Noldarr> and I get 4 motes back from that stunt
[15:10] <Taurus_II> is that your JB?
[15:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (so, despite stunt it stays at 4 sux for JB for me)
[15:10] <Noldarr> yeah
[15:10] <Brazen_Sand> They still have to wait for the next turn, I believe
[15:10] <Brazen_Sand> Would they?
[15:10] <Taurus_II> -2 for the first, -4 for the second, I believe, Inkwell
[15:10] <Brazen_Sand> ...hmmm...
[15:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> we join the battlewheel
[15:10] <Taurus_II> and yes, they have to wait
[15:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> on the current tick plus Reaction Count minus JB
[15:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> flurry penalties are -2 for the first, -3 for the second attack, in a flurry of two
[15:11] <Inkwell> Okay, so that's 23 and 21 dice.
[15:11] <Inkwell> I'm going to spend two more Willpower to reduce my target numbers with Yozi hax.
[15:12] <Inkwell> .ex 23 6
[15:12] <Pattern_Spider> Inkwell rolled 13 successes against TN 6[2, 7, 7, 1, 9, 10, 3, 8, 7, 5, 9, 3, 8, 4, 3, 2, 2, 9, 8, 2, 2, 10, 5]
[15:12] <Inkwell> .ex 21 6
[15:12] <Pattern_Spider> Inkwell rolled 9 successes against TN 6[1, 10, 5, 2, 4, 5, 1, 4, 5, 6, 6, 8, 5, 2, 5, 1, 2, 2, 10, 5, 10]
[15:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ((could you c&p the initiative order you're no doubt maintaining somewhere, taurus?))
[15:13] <Inkwell> I'll recoup two of the Willpower from Mythos Exultant.
[15:14] <Taurus_II> oh I'm using the automated battlewheel thingy that got posted on the WW forums
[15:14] <Brazen_Sand> How close are the DBs?
[15:14] <Inkwell> That's 19 motes, but it'll be worth it if it takes two of them out of the battle for a while.
[15:14] <Brazen_Sand> If they're within 3 yards, then they take 3L with a Trauma of 1
[15:14] <Taurus_II> in easy dash + melee range, Brazen
[15:14] <Brazen_Sand> Soooo....?
[15:15] <Taurus_II> hang on and let me figure out Inkwell's attacks first
[15:15] <Taurus_II> which two were you targeting again?
[15:15] <Taurus_II> wood and water
[15:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> taurus, is it accessible to others?
[15:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I thought, the fire aspect since he didn't like their attitude?
[15:15] <Taurus_II> alas I don't think I can share it =(
[15:16] <Inkwell> Yeah, Wood with the 13 success attack and water with the 9 success one.
[15:16] <Taurus_II> ok
[15:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> That does deprive us of the ability to make tactical decisions based on its status :s. Though I understand, that if it makes your job easier you'll use it, of course.
[15:17] <Brazen_Sand> I'm fine with not being able to meta-game tactical decisions
[15:17] <Taurus_II> sorry
[15:17] <Inkwell> Well, that's one of them Inactive. I am currently winning.
[15:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Brazen, this is Exalted, transparency is one of the principles of the system
[15:17] <Taurus_II> we're on tick 4.
[15:17] <Taurus_II> Tick 5: Wood, Noldar, Nomoe
[15:18] <Taurus_II> Tick 7: Earth
[15:18] <Taurus_II> Tick 8: Water
[15:18] <Taurus_II> Air and Fire go this tick
[15:18] <Inkwell> My magic clinches do 5B + whatever successes, by the by.
[15:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Can Noldarr get inside on the same tick? Or was he inside all the time? I forget.
[15:18] <Brazen_Sand> *ahem*
[15:18] <Taurus_II> and BRazon
[15:18] <Noldarr> I can get inside, yeah.
[15:18] <Taurus_II> simple charm, spd 6?
[15:18] <Brazen_Sand> I use 12 motes and 1 willpower to activate DTAS
[15:19] <Brazen_Sand> Doesn't say
[15:19] <Taurus_II> ok
[15:19] <Taurus_II> then yes
[15:19] <Brazen_Sand> Is that how long they usually take?
[15:19] <Noldarr> 5 or 6
[15:19] <Brazen_Sand> And does this count as a 3-die stunt?
[15:19] <Noldarr> I think it's 6 if it doesn't say anything
[15:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Not unless it's nominated ...
[15:19] <Brazen_Sand> The whole mainlining Malfean Essence thing
[15:20] <Taurus_II> Inkwell, what was the speed of those actions you took?
[15:20] <Inkwell> 6, I'm afraid.
[15:21] <Taurus_II> ok
[15:22] <Brazen_Sand> Inkwell, did you get hit with the fire?
[15:23] <Inkwell> No, I ducked back behind you.
[15:23] <Inkwell> WITH MY MIND
[15:23] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> back sorry for my disappearance.
[15:23] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> catching up
[15:23] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, the fire explodes all around me
[15:23] <Brazen_Sand> ...as explosions tend to do
[15:25] <Brazen_Sand> Wait, we need someone to look for the Fiend!
[15:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Well, he wasn't out there before we came in - Hideaki has been keeping a lookout for him/her for hours.
[15:27] <Brazen_Sand> She could've been disguised as a mortal
[15:27] <Brazen_Sand> Even to Essence Sight
[15:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> there was no mortal either
[15:27] <Taurus_II> Fire Immaculate - 4 attacks on Brazen
[15:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> no mortal watching the tea house, that is
[15:27] <Taurus_II> .ex 19
[15:27] <Pattern_Spider> Taurus_II rolled 11 successes against TN 7[4, 5, 10, 8, 3, 2, 9, 10, 9, 2, 4, 5, 9, 6, 3, 7, 1, 8, 9]
[15:27] <Brazen_Sand> *yawn*
[15:28] <Taurus_II> .ex 18
[15:28] <Pattern_Spider> Taurus_II rolled 4 successes against TN 7[8, 3, 2, 3, 1, 8, 1, 4, 3, 9, 6, 2, 1, 6, 6, 3, 8, 3]
[15:28] <Taurus_II> .ex 17

[15:29] <Taurus_II> ... well/
[15:29] <Brazen_Sand> Only one gets past my PDV
[15:29] <Taurus_II> the 11-sux?
[15:29] <Brazen_Sand> and even then, my Hardness is 30L
[15:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> you have to declare your defense before attacks are rolled, though
[15:29] <Brazen_Sand> Sorry
[15:29] <Brazen_Sand> I thought that was assumed.
[15:29] <Brazen_Sand> I parry the others
[15:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> if you want to do anything in addition to use a DV
[15:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that is
[15:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> like, use a charm or something ;)
[15:30] <Nomoe_Hideaki> do a stunt
[15:30] <Taurus_II> I forgot that too
[15:30] <Taurus_II> I'm too used to doing it in a PbP environment
[15:30] <Taurus_II> where the steps get all compressed because otherwise all the steps would take too damn long
[15:31] <Brazen_Sand> yeah
[15:31] <Nomoe_Hideaki> well, we can do the same here, with the same understanding - ie, no using the roll results to determine your action
[15:31] <Noldarr> if they are using a supplemental
[15:31] <Noldarr> then they have to declare
[15:31] <Noldarr> what the effect will be on the character
[15:32] <Noldarr> before defenses are decided
[15:32] <Noldarr> I believe
[15:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> obviously
[15:32] <Brazen_Sand> There
[15:32] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Yay for me being out of synch. >>
[15:33] <Brazen_Sand> Join Battle, ruby!
[15:33] <Brazen_Sand> You just saw an explosion in the teahouse
[15:33] <Brazen_Sand> Also, you never did tell me how big the teahouse was, and whether the DBs were within 3 yards of Brazen
[15:33] <Taurus_II> brazen I take it that's not an actual action
[15:33] <Taurus_II> oh
[15:33] <Brazen_Sand> That's kind of important because of the explosion
[15:33] <Taurus_II> um
[15:33] <Brazen_Sand> No, it's just a stunt to DV
[15:34] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> .ex 6
[15:34] <Pattern_Spider> Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby rolled 0 successes against TN 7[3, 6, 5, 4, 6, 5]
[15:34] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> heh XD
[15:34] <Taurus_II> Teahouse is... ehhhh 15 yards
[15:34] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, and I take back one willpower for the stunt when he used DTAS
[15:35] <Taurus_II> and... yes, they were within 3 yards when the explosion happened
[15:35] <Brazen_Sand> Oh goody
[15:35] <Brazen_Sand> They take 3L damage at Trauma 1
[15:36] <Brazen_Sand> Inkwell never told me if he was within 3 yards when he was behind me, though
[15:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Ruby, want to roll another die for JB due to stunt? ;)
[15:36] <Inkwell> I'm far away, somewhere very safe!
[15:37] <Brazen_Sand> I think we made an Essence 4 or 5 upgrade to DTAS which lets it last Indefinitely, but I'm not sure
[15:37] <Taurus_II> just gonna roll once for all of them, ok?
[15:37] <Taurus_II> .ex 12
[15:37] <Pattern_Spider> Taurus_II rolled 4 successes against TN 7[8, 4, 5, 5, 8, 6, 1, 6, 1, 6, 4, 10]
[15:37] <Taurus_II> ok
[15:37] <Brazen_Sand> k
[15:38] <Taurus_II> so they take 3B
[15:38] <Taurus_II> .ex 3
[15:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> huh?
[15:38] <Pattern_Spider> Taurus_II rolled 2 successes against TN 7[9, 2, 7]
[15:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> with 4 sux it would be completely negated
[15:38] <Taurus_II> it would?
[15:38] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> oh right stunty roll. Sorry I didn't see that.
[15:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 1 sux to stage it down to B, one more to stage it down to nothing
[15:38] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> .ex 1
[15:38] <Pattern_Spider> Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby rolled 1 successes against TN 7[9]
[15:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> it's environmental
[15:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> and with minimal trauma it doesn't really do much
[15:39] <Taurus_II> ah missed that part in the rules
[15:39] <Taurus_II> nice
[15:39] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, it's not going to win any battles by itself, but then, it would disappointing if it did
[15:39] <Brazen_Sand> "Where'd everyone go?" : (
[15:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> and natural soak applies to it as well
[15:39] <Noldarr> okay, who's up next?
[15:40] <Noldarr> Air?
[15:40] <Taurus_II> Wood
[15:40] <Taurus_II> then Nomoe and Noldarr
[15:40] <Brazen_Sand> HEART
[15:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so we are on tick 4 now?
[15:40] <Taurus_II> no
[15:40] <Taurus_II> tick 5
[15:40] <Taurus_II> tick 4 just ended
[15:40] <Noldarr> we all act on tick 5
[15:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> oh right
[15:40] <Brazen_Sand> They're so screwed
[15:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> misremembered
[15:40] <Noldarr> yeah
[15:40] <Noldarr> they are
[15:40] <Noldarr> ^_^
[15:40] <Noldarr> a 19 die attack pool
[15:40] <Noldarr> that's cute
[15:41] <Taurus_II> so Wood will try to break free of the grappling chain things
[15:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> it can't
[15:41] <Taurus_II> oh?
[15:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> if you're in a clinch you go on the same tick as the clincher
[15:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> he can only try to escape when Inkwell next acts
[15:41] <Inkwell> Now that it's 6PM, I should probably be going, but you can carry on. If anything happens, assume Inkwell does a three-die stunt and perfects. :)
[15:41] <Noldarr> yeah
[15:41] <Taurus_II> oh, whoops
[15:41] <Brazen_Sand> XD okay
[15:41] <Taurus_II> okay then
[15:42] <Taurus_II> Nomoe and Noldarr go
[15:42] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 2m to get from his observation post to inside the tea house, then on his action a flurry of three unarmed attacks against the Air DB. First is at 21 dice, then depending on the DV he presents I'll determine the next two.
[15:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 21
[15:43] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 8 successes against TN 7[2, 1, 7, 5, 6, 2, 7, 3, 9, 2, 1, 3, 7, 6, 7, 1, 9, 1, 1, 9, 8]
[15:43] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, I'm totally going to grab one of the chained DBs and toss them through a wall
[15:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> DV?
[15:43] *** Inkwell has quit IRC: Disintegrated: Leaving
[15:43] <Noldarr> alright, who's going after us?
[15:43] <Noldarr> earth and water?
[15:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Brazen, you can do that, but you'll act directly against our stated purpose
[15:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> which is NOT letting them get away
[15:43] <Taurus_II> DV is 11
[15:43] <Noldarr> er, basically, which of them will act before Tick 8?
[15:44] <Brazen_Sand> I can see them. I have Essence sight

[15:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> for my second and third attack
[15:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> WOW
[15:44] <Nomoe_Hideaki> using 1st excellency for 5 dice on both
[15:45] <Brazen_Sand> Uh, don't you have to do that BEFORE you get the results?
[15:45] <Taurus_II> correction, his DV is 13
[15:45] <Taurus_II> *forgot the Form Charm effect*
[15:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> the five dice are calculated in above
[15:45] <Brazen_Sand> oops :X
[15:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I should have stated it before rolling though, sorry
[15:45] <Taurus_II> so one hit
[15:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I should have put Solar Hero Form up :s
[15:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 24L Piercing then
[15:46] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, wouldn't want him to splatter into LARGE chunks : P

[15:50] <Noldarr> that's 8
[15:50] <Noldarr> I think
[15:50] <Noldarr> 18, 16, 16, 6, 16, 16, 17, 10
[15:51] <Noldarr> and I will regain motes from my stunt
[15:51] <Taurus_II> 2 hits on water, 4 hits on Earth
[15:51] <Taurus_II> actually make it 5 hits
[15:51] <Taurus_II> on Earth
[15:51] <Noldarr> oh, when do I declare golden destruction cut?
[15:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> before the attack
[15:51] <Noldarr> okay
[15:51] <Brazen_Sand> You don't need to, you've already killed them all, pretty much
[15:51] <Noldarr> lol
[15:52] <Brazen_Sand> kill-stealer : (
[15:52] <Noldarr> my damage is +14L and successes
[15:52] <Noldarr> what's their soak?
[15:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ((my attack was Speed 5, btw. Sorry for not mentioning that before))
[15:54] <Taurus_II> um
[15:54] <Taurus_II> Water's L soak is 14
[15:54] <Taurus_II> Earth's is 18
[15:55] <Noldarr> what's their dvs?
[15:55] <Taurus_II> 12 for Water, 11 for Earth
[15:56] <Noldarr> so 11 dice vs water, and vs. earth...27 dice, I think?
[15:56] <Taurus_II> something like that
[15:56] <Noldarr> .ex 11 damage
[15:56] <Pattern_Spider> invalid syntax - target number has to be an actual number
[15:56] <Noldarr> .ex 11 dam
[15:56] <Pattern_Spider> invalid syntax - target number has to be an actual number
[15:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ".ex 11 dmg"
[15:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that's the syntax
[15:56] <Noldarr> .ex 11 dmg
[15:56] <Pattern_Spider> Noldarr rolled 3 successes for damage[1, 3, 6, 10, 5, 4, 1, 3, 8, 5, 9]
[15:56] <Noldarr> .ex 27 dmg
[15:56] <Pattern_Spider> Noldarr rolled 8 successes for damage[1, 10, 9, 1, 2, 4, 1, 2, 1, 5, 6, 3, 9, 3, 6, 5, 5, 10, 7, 5, 10, 8, 5, 10, 2, 4, 5]
[15:56] <Taurus_II> but Water is going to activate Bottomless Depths.
[15:57] <Taurus_II> sorry
[15:57] <Taurus_II> probably should've said so
[15:57] <Noldarr> as expected
[15:57] <Noldarr> that's why I only did 2 attacks on him
[15:57] <Taurus_II> ok
[15:58] <Noldarr> and that was tick 5, I guess
[15:58] <Taurus_II> ok
[15:58] <Taurus_II> so Earth is out
[15:58] <Taurus_II> hang on
[15:59] <Taurus_II> okay so Fire's up
[15:59] <Brazen_Sand> Wait, she gets to attack again?
[15:59] <Noldarr> he's just incap, not dead, right?
[16:00] <Nomoe_Hideaki> unless you hit him again after bringing him down to incap
[16:00] <Noldarr> excellent
[16:01] <Taurus_II> yes
[16:01] <Taurus_II> short jade daiklacves
[16:01] <Taurus_II> speed 3
[16:01] <Brazen_Sand> Bring it
[16:01] <Brazen_Sand> I'll take her down afterwards with Emerald Crisis Blade
[16:02] <Noldarr> we should probably split our flurries so that we hit the water on as many ticks as possible
[16:02] <Noldarr> otherwise it could take 21 ticks to finally bring him down
[16:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I think I'll just clinch him and then you can pummel him however long you want to ;)
[16:03] <Noldarr> ^_^
[16:03] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hehe
[16:03] <Taurus_II> me uses Shrugging Dragon Escape
[16:03] * Taurus_II uses*
[16:04] <Noldarr> alright
[16:04] <Noldarr> fire dragon attacking now?
[16:04] <Taurus_II> yes yes
[16:04] <Taurus_II> hang on
[16:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh. She tries to run.
[16:08] <Taurus_II> Consuming Might of the Fire Dragon + Flickering Flame Stance + Dash
[16:08] <Brazen_Sand> I fly after her. I go 30 yards/tick
[16:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> you ... don't go outside until you've reformed.
[16:08] <Noldarr> I can chase her down
[16:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> So can I.
[16:08] <Brazen_Sand> Nah, I've got it. I want to get to do SOMETHING
[16:09] <Noldarr> we still have to deal with
[16:09] <Noldarr> water
[16:09] <Noldarr> and wood
[16:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Then you shouldn't have gone all monstrous.
[16:09] <Taurus_II> so right now it's 1 die of damage per 3 ticks
[16:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> When we explicitely planned to do things as quietly as possible.
[16:09] <Brazen_Sand> *sigh* fine, someone go after her, and the others can deal with the rest.
[16:09] <Brazen_Sand> Hey, I wasn't the one who started the fight.
[16:09] <Noldarr> lol
[16:09] <Taurus_II> and you take -4 to attack pools when attacking
[16:10] <Taurus_II> her
[16:11] <Taurus_II> ok
[16:12] <Taurus_II> so now it's Water and Noldarr
[16:12] <Noldarr> alright
[16:12] <Brazen_Sand> No, it's been Speed 6
[16:12] <Noldarr> have we decided who's chasing the fire?
[16:12] <Taurus_II> ?
[16:12] <Brazen_Sand> I mean my simple move was Speed 6
[16:12] <Taurus_II> speed 6?
[16:12] <Brazen_Sand> I'm up
[16:12] <Taurus_II> no
[16:12] <Brazen_Sand> I mean Tick 6
[16:12] <Taurus_II> it's tick 8
[16:13] <Nomoe_Hideaki> You're up next, if you go then Nomoe Hideaki won't go.
[16:13] <Brazen_Sand> Then why didn't I get to go before that?
[16:13] <Noldarr> low JB roll?
[16:13] <Taurus_II> yup
[16:13] <Brazen_Sand> I are confused. I got the same roll as Inkwell, then the others would have to wait till the next action to do something, I thought.
[16:14] <Brazen_Sand> Because they didn't know anything was going on until the battle actually started
[16:14] <Taurus_II> okay maybe I screwed it up a little
[16:14] <Taurus_II> but we're too far in now to go back and do eevrything over again
[16:15] <Taurus_II> so suck it up and stop whining and we'll get it right next time
[16:15] <Brazen_Sand> Hey man, I was just confused and wanted to get on the same page
[16:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> mmhh. Brazen Sand should have gone on tick 4 since the Reaction Count was 5. Hideaki would have acted on tick 1 or 2 - before Brazen Sand - actually, since he reacted to the DBs putting up their form charms on tick 0 and tick 1. *shrugs*
[16:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> doesn't matter now
[16:16] <Noldarr> alright, so we're still on tick 8
[16:16] <Noldarr> correct?
[16:17] <Taurus_II> y7es
[16:17] <Taurus_II> I'm writing up Water's action
[16:17] <Noldarr> alright
[16:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> mmh, actually the fire aspect can't dash since that charm is a Simple charm, leaving no room for a Dash action on the same overall action.
[16:18] <Taurus_II> really?
[16:18] <Brazen_Sand> Shoulda comboed!
[16:18] <Brazen_Sand> We can just say that she has a combo
[16:18] <Taurus_II> my bad, just normal move
[16:18] <Brazen_Sand> and that she's a big wimp
[16:19] <Taurus_II> you can't combo a dash, I don't think...
[16:19] <Noldarr> iron whirlwinding again, 2 on water and 6 on...wood's the only one left, right?
[16:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> doesn't help. She still gets the bonus for the athletics charm, of course.
[16:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> oh wait, that's a defense charm
[16:19] <Noldarr> and I will use Golden Destruction Cut on my last attacks on both of them
[16:19] <Taurus_II> Tsunami Force Shout
[16:19] <Taurus_II> using the OMWF rewrite
[16:20] <Taurus_II> parry DV is inapplicable

[16:24] <Taurus_II> and let's not bother rolling for Wood since she's inactive
[16:24] <Taurus_II> and now she is more inactive
[16:24] <Noldarr> rolling this many dice in real life
[16:25] <Noldarr> lol
[16:25] <Noldarr> rolling this many dice in real life
[16:25] <Noldarr> is really hard
[16:25] <Taurus_II> so you're perfecting the Tsunami Force Shout?
[16:25] <Noldarr> yeah
[16:25] <Nomoe_Hideaki> In my own game there was a colossus necrotech construct that the Night and the Full Moon spend about 20 ticks wounding just a little. Then the Dawn came and literally annihilated it - a rain of golden motes and a few burning splinters remaining of the 100m tall construct - in a single flurry.
[16:26] <Brazen_Sand> That makes me sad
[16:26] <Brazen_Sand> But then, that's what Holy Charms are for
[16:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Don't forget to describe it in the IC, Noldarr ;)
[16:27] <Noldarr> perfecting?
[16:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yeah. None of the others had holy charms or damage boosters or was using Infinite mastery.
[16:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yeah.
[16:27] <Taurus_II> all of what you're doing
[16:29] <Noldarr> brazen's up now?
[16:30] <Taurus_II> waiting for a description of your sword strikes
[16:30] <Taurus_II> oh
[16:30] <Taurus_II> was that the cloud of dust thing?
[16:30] <Noldarr> yeah
[16:30] <Brazen_Sand> Hehe, I have an idea
[16:30] <Noldarr> using the environment
[16:31] <Brazen_Sand> I can use Stern Instructive Patronage on the incapacitated DBs
[16:31] <Noldarr> i thought you were going to beat up the fire
[16:31] <Brazen_Sand> So that they have to answer our questions truthfully or burst into flames
[16:32] <Brazen_Sand> Oh no, I'll get to taht in a minute
[16:32] <Brazen_Sand> I meant afterwards
[16:33] <Brazen_Sand> Is it my turn now?
[16:33] <Taurus_II> ok
[16:33] <Taurus_II> no
[16:33] <Taurus_II> Ruby is up finally
[16:33] <Taurus_II> then you
[16:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And when does Ruby get to ... ah.
[16:34] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Oh my turn?
[16:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Yes.
[16:34] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> kk one moment, typing.
[16:35] <Brazen_Sand> yeeeey
[16:35] <Noldarr> brazen, is there any way to like
[16:35] <Noldarr> spear the fire aspect while she's running out of the place with your tail
[16:35] <Noldarr> and reel her back in?
[16:35] <Noldarr> or is she too far gone?
[16:36] <Brazen_Sand> Hmmm
[16:36] <Brazen_Sand> I could probably reach her with my spear
[16:36] <Brazen_Sand> but either would work
[16:36] <Brazen_Sand> How far did she run?
[16:36] <Noldarr> that would be preferable to showing the entire city your balor face
[16:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> she's moved about 15 yards by now
[16:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> no wait, 20-25
[16:36] <Nomoe_Hideaki> depending on whether it is tick 8 or 9
[16:37] <Nomoe_Hideaki> assuming Dex 5
[16:37] <Brazen_Sand> I could always throw the spear
[16:37] <Noldarr> how long is your tail?
[16:37] <Brazen_Sand> Not long enough
[16:38] <Noldarr> if the teahouse is like, 10 meters to a side, we can assume she spent 5-6 yards moving out of the house
[16:38] <Noldarr> so 20ish yards of visible movement
[16:39] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Not sure whatelse I can do readying weapon and deactivating a charm XD
[16:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> deactivating a charm is no action at all, readying a weapon is a misc action that can be part of a flurry
[16:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so, a flurry of draw weapon/attack/attack?
[16:40] <Noldarr> more attacks on the water is always appreciated
[16:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Note that the fire aspect is actually coming out of the tea house (probably racing past you in the process) in order to flee
[16:43] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hmm. Flurry. Brings it from 13 to 10 I... think.
[16:44] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> .ex
[16:44] <Pattern_Spider> invalid syntax - number of dice has to be an actual number
[16:44] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> .ex 10
[16:44] <Pattern_Spider> Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby rolled 4 successes against TN 7[6, 5, 4, 7, 1, 9, 6, 9, 6, 8]
[16:44] <Brazen_Sand> Perfect Attack that byatch!
[16:44] <Taurus_II> hmmm
[16:44] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Sadly I have no perfect attacks. I have a perfect Defense and the ability to hide XD
[16:44] <Taurus_II> just one attack?
[16:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> note that if you were hidden before, this could be a surprise attack
[16:45] <Taurus_II> good point
[16:45] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Grand Beamklaive Rate 2 I figure if I'm flurrying... that leaves me with 1.
[16:45] <Taurus_II> what would be the difficulty of spotting you?
[16:46] <Brazen_Sand> Probably should get a penalty to that, what with her panicking
[16:46] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Optical Shroud up to deactivation leaves me completely unseen.
[16:46] <Taurus_II> okay
[16:47] <Brazen_Sand> See, now that's fucking stylish
[16:47] <Brazen_Sand> NINJA-ROBOT-STRIKE *hyah!*
[16:48] <Noldarr> so, it's been about nine seconds since inkwell first attacked
[16:48] <Taurus_II> *checks beam weapon rules*
[16:49] <Brazen_Sand> I think beam weapons are overpriced, personally
[16:49] <Taurus_II> olk
[16:49] <Taurus_II> you hit
[16:49] <Taurus_II> what's the damage on it?
[16:49] <Noldarr> beamklaves sever limbs on-hit, don't they?
[16:49] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> 16L
[16:49] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> .ex 16
[16:49] <Pattern_Spider> Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby rolled 8 successes against TN 7[6, 1, 3, 8, 3, 9, 2, 1, 4, 3, 7, 6, 10, 4, 10, 8]
[16:49] <Noldarr> if it's grand it's piercing
[16:50] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Adamant and Grand ^^
[16:50] <Taurus_II> hang on
[16:50] <Noldarr> does it ignore soak or something?
[16:50] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Pierces and -4 to soak
[16:50] <Taurus_II> :o
[16:50] <Taurus_II> still
[16:50] <Taurus_II> that's three dice getting taken away
[16:51] <Taurus_II> oh
[16:51] <Taurus_II> rewind again
[16:51] <Taurus_II> did you take the -4 penalty to your attack roll imposed by Consuming Might of the Fire Dragon?
[16:51] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Pooh, no I didn't.
[16:52] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> which places my attack suprise or no at 0?
[16:52] <Noldarr> she loses 2 successes
[16:52] <Taurus_II> it's definitely surprise
[16:52] <Noldarr> I think
[16:52] <Taurus_II> we can do it that way, ok
[16:53] <Taurus_II> so that means attack successes are down to 2
[16:53] <Taurus_II> so you roll 18 dice for damage
[16:53] <Taurus_II> 15, rather
[16:53] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> so 18?
[16:53] <Taurus_II> taking soak into account
[16:53] <Noldarr> she loses 1 damage
[16:53] <Noldarr> I think
[16:54] <Brazen_Sand> FFFFFF
[16:54] <Noldarr> and then 10s don't count as double...
[16:54] <Noldarr> so
[16:54] <Noldarr> 5 damage levels
[16:54] <Brazen_Sand> Hmmm...I could use my Vitriol breath
[16:54] <Brazen_Sand> How many people are around outside?
[16:54] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Ah snap new I forgot something ><
[16:54] <Noldarr> place is deserted
[16:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> You *could* ...
[16:55] <Brazen_Sand> Awesome *evil grin*
[16:55] <Taurus_II> forgot what?
[16:55] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> the dmg part of the damage roll XD
[16:55] <Taurus_II> oh
[16:55] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> You want to keep at 5 or shall I re-roll using 15 as the number instead?
[16:55] <Taurus_II> keep at 5
[16:55] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> kk
[16:56] <Brazen_Sand> What type of DV is she using?
[16:56] <Noldarr> none
[16:56] <Noldarr> she got surprised
[16:56] <Taurus_II> by Ruby
[16:56] <Brazen_Sand> I mean in general
[16:56] <Taurus_II> okay
[16:56] <Taurus_II> Dodge
[16:56] <Noldarr> fire aspect
[16:57] <Noldarr> makes sense
[16:57] <Taurus_II> so now things start catching fire
[16:57] <Taurus_II> yaaay
[16:57] <Taurus_II> everything within a yard of her takes 1 die of lethal damage
[16:57] <Taurus_II> ... so right now that's probably only ruby, if that
[16:58] <Taurus_II> plus the building, of course.
[16:58] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> Tsk. XD
[16:58] <Taurus_II> .ex 1 dmg
[16:58] <Pattern_Spider> Taurus_II rolled 1 successes for damage[7]
[16:58] <Taurus_II> :o
[16:58] <Brazen_Sand> How strong do I need to be to kool-aid man through the wall?
[16:58] <Taurus_II> *makes note to self to give the fiend more XP for when you guys finally go up against her*
[16:59] <Taurus_II> ummm
[16:59] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh
[16:59] <Brazen_Sand> Don't give XP, just give her what she needs, so long as it actually makes sense
[16:59] <Noldarr> I think you're strong enough
[16:59] <Noldarr> by virtue of being 5 meters tall
[16:59] <Taurus_II> yeah
[16:59] <Noldarr> and on fire
[16:59] <Taurus_II> what he said
[16:59] <Taurus_II> is it awesome? y/n
[16:59] <Taurus_II> y
[16:59] <Brazen_Sand> Fuck it, I'm just going to break the entire building by standing up straight
[16:59] <Taurus_II> you can do it
[17:00] <Brazen_Sand> And unfolding my wings
[17:00] <Brazen_Sand> Alright then, just tell me when I can go, and I'll do so
[17:00] <Taurus_II> ah, right
[17:00] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh
[17:00] <Taurus_II> Inkwell, Brazen, and Nomoe
[17:00] <Taurus_II> you're up
[17:01] <Noldarr> inkwell continues to clinch, I s'ppose
[17:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> can I reach the Fire aspect by moving in a straight line?
[17:01] <Noldarr> or he attempts to clinch the water
[17:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> the wood aspect is incap, though
[17:01] <Brazen_Sand> Inkwell is gone
[17:01] <Noldarr> first in, first out
[17:01] <Noldarr> =P
[17:01] <Brazen_Sand> *shrug*
[17:02] <Noldarr> this teahouse is wrecked
[17:02] <Noldarr> we should remunerate the owner
[17:03] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, it's fucked.
[17:03] <Taurus_II> the owner was with the Purists, recall
[17:04] <Brazen_Sand> "Don't want your house stepped on? Don't be a Purist!"
[17:04] <Noldarr> well, maybe if we remunerate them
[17:04] <Noldarr> the owner won't be
[17:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki>
[01:01:17] Nomoe_Hideaki: can I reach the Fire aspect by moving in a straight line?
[17:05] <Noldarr> what charm is that?
[17:05] <Noldarr> the five-point exploding heart strike thing
[17:05] <Taurus_II> I don't think so...
[17:05] <Nomoe_Hideaki> actually that's a simple clinch enhanced by Dragon Coil Technique
[17:05] <Noldarr> mkay
[17:05] <Taurus_II> oh
[17:06] <Noldarr> remember to flurry your actions to kill the water
[17:06] <Taurus_II> sure we'll say you can since you did it >.>
[17:06] <Noldarr> if you can
[17:06] <Noldarr> the fire is pretty much fucked, but the water has a ticklong
[17:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Activating Solar Hero Form (reflexive) and channeling Conviction. Making one attack against the Water aspect at. 25 dice +5 sux, then one attack against the fire, and one clinch enhanced by dragon coil.
[17:06] <Brazen_Sand> Awwww
[17:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Also 2m for Divine Flash Step to reach the Fire, since I can't jump if it's not a straight line
[17:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (I think? Can I bounce off something to go around corners with a Jump action?)
[17:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 25
[17:07] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 17 successes against TN 7[4, 2, 6, 5, 8, 5, 9, 4, 10, 2, 1, 10, 6, 6, 6, 10, 10, 7, 7, 10, 7, 5, 2, 10, 2]
[17:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 22 sux against the Water
[17:07] <Noldarr> lots of 10s
[17:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 24
[17:07] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 10 successes against TN 7[7, 7, 6, 6, 6, 3, 2, 7, 1, 3, 1, 1, 5, 6, 7, 10, 3, 10, 4, 5, 3, 10, 3, 6]
[17:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 15 sux against the five
[17:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 22
[17:08] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 15 successes against TN 7[3, 7, 5, 1, 10, 8, 9, 7, 10, 2, 2, 4, 9, 10, 5, 1, 9, 6, 2, 10, 3, 8]
[17:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 23 sux on the clinch against the fire
[17:08] <Brazen_Sand> Uh, does Nomoe actually go first?
[17:08] <Brazen_Sand> Cause I was going to attack the Fire Aspect
[17:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> on the same tick if I understood Taurus corerctly
[17:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so it would happen simultaenously
[17:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> We can argue IC, who took her down :p
[17:09] <Brazen_Sand> Then I bring my spear down upon her with Green Sun Nimbus Flare activated
[17:10] <Taurus_II> oh boy
[17:10] <Taurus_II> Water is hit
[17:10] <Noldarr> does he BDD?
[17:10] <Taurus_II> ummmyeah
[17:11] <Noldarr> *sigh*
[17:11] <Noldarr> lol
[17:11] <Taurus_II> eh
[17:11] <Noldarr> alright
[17:11] <Noldarr> he can do it
[17:11] <Noldarr> 3 more times
[17:11] <Noldarr> so if we all attack him once
[17:11] <Noldarr> he's done
[17:12] <Brazen_Sand> Attacking the Fire Aspect
[17:13] <Noldarr> do we even need to roll to know that the fire aspect is screwed? =P
[17:13] <Taurus_II> yeah, we'll just say she gets knocked out
[17:13] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 22 (10 motes of Malfean excellency)
[17:13] <Pattern_Spider> invalid syntax - target number has to be an actual number

[17:14] <Noldarr> okay, great
[17:14] <Noldarr> all that's left is the water
[17:14] <Brazen_Sand> wait
[17:15] <Brazen_Sand> if I bent down, maybe I'd be big enough to sting the Water Aspect as well
[17:15] <Brazen_Sand> in a flurry
[17:15] <Noldarr> yeah
[17:15] <Noldarr> I don't think he has much of a chance
[17:15] <Noldarr> the water
[17:15] <Noldarr> is pretty screwed as well
[17:17] <Noldarr> so, I guess we win?
[17:17] <Taurus_II> yeah
[17:17] <Noldarr> *plays FFX victory theme*
[17:17] <Taurus_II> this has gone on very long
[17:17] <Brazen_Sand> You're telling me X_X
[17:17] <Taurus_II> next session can be the interrogation
[17:18] <Brazen_Sand> For now...the argument.
[17:18] <Taurus_II> heh
[17:19] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, how much XP do we get this time?
[17:19] <Taurus_II> 8 again
[17:20] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, I guess we wouldn't get XP for totally beating up those guys
[17:24] <Noldarr> oops
[17:24] <Noldarr> meant to say that here
[17:24] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> hehe
[17:24] <Noldarr> ^_^
[17:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Are there any witnesses?
[17:24] <Noldarr> probably perception or wits + awareness
[17:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Or any signs of an Infernal skulking about? ;)
[17:25] <Taurus_II> uh
[17:26] <Taurus_II> no Infernal
[17:26] <Taurus_II> maybe a few mortals cowering in fear
[17:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> How many?
[17:26] <Taurus_II> I dunno
[17:26] <Taurus_II> say a dozen
[17:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> They'll disappear.
[17:27] <Noldarr> I presume you are doing this where we can't see it?
[17:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Depends on how good you can see at night.
[17:27] <Taurus_II> disappear?
[17:28] <Taurus_II> wow
[17:28] * Nomoe_Hideaki isn't *that* stealthy
[17:28] <Brazen_Sand> Wow
[17:28] <Brazen_Sand> That's cold
[17:28] <Taurus_II> not just mindwipe them?
[17:28] <Brazen_Sand> But I'm the monster
[17:28] * Nomoe_Hideaki can't actually do that.
[17:28] * Nomoe_Hideaki is still deciding on where they'll disappear *to* and in what state.
[17:28] <Taurus_II> I see...
[17:28] <Brazen_Sand> Just scare them into doing so
[17:28] <Brazen_Sand> They're mortals.
[17:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 8 dice on stealth plus whatever penalties on sight you get due to darkness. If you want to be a witness, Noldarr.
[17:29] <Brazen_Sand> I'll hit them with Stern Instructive Patronage, alright?
[17:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> the problem is, the fiend might do the same and possibly better.
[17:29] <Noldarr> I'm kinda distracted talking
[17:29] <Noldarr> so I will not be rolling awareness
[17:30] <Nomoe_Hideaki> where are you talking? Still at the tea house?
[17:30] <Noldarr> wherever the DBs are
[17:30] <Brazen_Sand> There, now if any of them attack us, they'll die
[17:30] <Brazen_Sand> physically or socially
[17:31] <Noldarr> Hopefully we will not have to resort to that
[17:31] <Brazen_Sand> It's their choice. They know what'll happen automatically
[17:31] <Noldarr> mkay
[17:32] <Noldarr> oh
[17:32] <Noldarr> we need to work out where we're going
[17:33] <Brazen_Sand> Well, we'll pack the DBs on Launjilla's back, and then fly...somewhere secluded
[17:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> retcon - Luyu provided us with a secluded dungeon?
[17:33] <Noldarr> a dungeon, really?
[17:33] <Brazen_Sand> That is so gauche
[17:33] * Nomoe_Hideaki shrugs
[17:33] <Brazen_Sand> XP
[17:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Some place where they can be (somewhat) safely imprisoned
[17:33] <Noldarr> bonds can't hold martial artists
[17:33] <Brazen_Sand> They don't need to be imprisoned. if they try anything, they'll die.
[17:34] <Brazen_Sand> That's what Stern Instructive Patronage is for.
[17:34] <Noldarr> we just need somewhere
[17:34] <Noldarr> soundproof
[17:34] <Taurus_II> sure
[17:34] <Taurus_II> dungeon holding cells
[17:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And anima proof ;)
[17:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> which limits the choices somewhat
[17:34] <Noldarr> nah, if they flare their anima
[17:34] <Noldarr> they go poof
[17:34] <Brazen_Sand> That's an attack
[17:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> not necessarily
[17:35] <Brazen_Sand> They get an instant 5L damage
[17:35] <Brazen_Sand> Yes necessarily.
[17:35] <Noldarr> I gotta go catch dinner
[17:35] <Noldarr> will keep chat window open
[17:36] <Brazen_Sand> k
[17:36] <Taurus_II> no, not necessarily
[17:36] <Taurus_II> if they flare their animas when nobody's around
[17:36] <Taurus_II> unless the mark allows you to set conditions
[17:36] <Brazen_Sand> That's true.
[17:37] <Brazen_Sand> Well, actually, SIP does
[17:37] <Brazen_Sand> Up to (Essence) conditions
[17:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 2
[17:39] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 0 successes against TN 7[4, 3]
[17:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> zero sux on Compassion
[17:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Take Brazen's last line as the end of the scene?
[17:40] <Brazen_Sand> So did you kill them?
[17:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> no comment
[17:41] <Taurus_II> yeah
[17:42] <Taurus_II> let's end here
[17:42] <Brazen_Sand> I'll take Launjilla to wherever we're going to interrogate them
[17:42] <Brazen_Sand> Alright. See you guys next week
[17:42] <Taurus_II> see you guys
[17:42] <Shadow_Phoenix_Ruby> great fun ^^
[17:42] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, that was fun
[17:42] <Nomoe_Hideaki> :)
[17:44] <Taurus_II> =)
