[10:51] *** Anshu has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[10:51] *** Topic on #celestialdeliberativeOOC is: Exalted 2nd: Dawn of the Third Age / OOC Channel / Next session on the 28th of January
[10:51] *** Topic set by dakkareth (2 hours ago at 9:17 AM)
[10:51] *** ChanServ sets mode +q Anshu
[10:51] *** ChanServ sets mode +o Anshu
[10:51] <~Anshu> o/
[10:52] <Brazen_Sand> hey man
[10:52] * dakkareth waves
[10:53] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, can Snow keep the Heart Grace from last week?
[10:55] <Virgil> hey
[10:56] <~Anshu> hmmmm
[10:57] <~Anshu> what rating is it?
[10:58] <Virgil> I dunno
[10:59] <Brazen_Sand> Me neither. I didn't even remember that they had ratings
[11:00] <~Anshu> all graces have ratings from 1 to 5
[11:00] <Brazen_Sand> btw, you should prolly join the IC channel, Lost.
[11:00] <Brazen_Sand> I dunno, it was probably a 1 or 2
[11:00] <Brazen_Sand> It's a moot point now, since it was taken from the Raksha's corpse
[11:01] <~Anshu> still probably good as a crafting component
[11:01] <~Anshu> and if his Heart Grace is still intact, then maybe he's not quite as dead as you assumed
[11:01] <~Anshu> DUN DUN DUN
[11:02] <Virgil> Are we not waiting on anyone else then?
[11:02] <~Anshu> we are waiting
[11:02] <~Anshu> Brazen's just being antsy to get started
[11:03] <Virgil> It means I can eat it and start taking Rakasha Charms eventually
[11:03] <Virgil> Yay Knacks I don't have yet
[11:06] <Brazen_Sand> Hi
[11:06] <Brazen_Sand> Huh?
[11:07] <Brazen_Sand> I don't think the others are around. I already tried to reach them
[11:07] <Virgil> Who were you greeting? Who are you talking to?
[11:07] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, I was afk
[11:07] <Brazen_Sand> had to move some wooden planks
[11:08] <~Anshu> ah
[11:12] <Brazen_Sand> So...do we have a plan?
[11:13] <dakkareth> Are we planning to have a plan?
[11:14] <Brazen_Sand> I did
[11:14] <dakkareth> Ah. Because I thought Brazen Sand might just take off again :p
[11:15] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen doesn't have a plan
[11:15] <Brazen_Sand> But I do, so I can help you guys plan : P
[11:16] <Virgil> I say we ambush them in the desert with as many players as we can... oh wait
[11:16] <Brazen_Sand> Snow, turn into BEEEEEEEEEEEES
[11:16] <Virgil> I can't do that yet
[11:16] <Brazen_Sand> rats
[11:16] <Virgil> That either
[11:16] <Brazen_Sand> =_=
[11:16] <Virgil> I haven't bought the swarm knack yet
[11:17] <Brazen_Sand> Well you two are the smart guys
[11:18] <Brazen_Sand> I'm the muscle/awesome guy
[11:18] <dakkareth> Having Rain with us might help with our odds.
[11:18] <~Anshu> I was planning to let you guys do the planning today :P
[11:19] <Brazen_Sand> I don't think that's in the cards
[11:19] <Virgil> I just like being an invisible sneaking attacking blur of speed that is a pain in the arse
[11:19] <Brazen_Sand> Anshu, you just have to plan for the bad guys
[11:19] <Brazen_Sand> That's helpful, Lost.
[11:19] <Virgil> Generally enjoying being a CC Master
[11:20] <Virgil> But 5 on 3 isn't good odds
[11:20] <Virgil> Especially when one of us is a Lunar
[11:20] <Brazen_Sand> We're PCs!
[11:20] <Virgil> We don't know that In-Character
[11:20] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen does
[11:20] <dakkareth> heh
[11:21] <Virgil> Also out of character thinking like that has faired us poorly
[11:21] <Brazen_Sand> or rather, he thinks so and happens to be right.
[11:21] <Virgil> May I remind you of the Fiend
[11:21] <Virgil> That is the SE
[11:21] <dakkareth> well, Brazen survived that one ... in contrast to the rest of us present here :s
[11:21] <Brazen_Sand> We have people to save!
[11:22] <Brazen_Sand> Besides, how do we know all of them are fighters?
[11:22] <dakkareth> It's unlikely that they are.
[11:23] <dakkareth> We can try negotiation.
[11:23] <Brazen_Sand> <>_<>
[11:24] <Brazen_Sand> We have an entire city of people that will follow us
[11:24] <Brazen_Sand> Before we were in hostile territory
[11:24] <dakkareth> well, how much longer shall we wait? Some of this might be fun to discuss IC.
[11:24] <Brazen_Sand> Neither Danakir nor Blinks are online
[11:26] <Brazen_Sand> Can we call in back-up, Anshu?
[11:26] <Brazen_Sand> If things go real bad?
[11:27] <dakkareth> Sure we can. The Deliberative is certain to get back to us within 6-8 weeks ;)
[11:27] <Virgil> I could play this battle as Ziyad
[11:27] <Brazen_Sand> Snow > Ziyad
[11:28] <Virgil> She techically is better at Combat than him as he was
[11:28] <Brazen_Sand> Anyway, I think we should start, but you guys know I always think that.
[11:28] * dakkareth was tempted to subject the Abyssals to a Performance move ... but that might backfire in an ugly way, so I put that back on ice.
[11:29] <dakkareth> I think we can start. It would be nice for the others to join us, but if they aren't here now there's no telling when they'll show up (if they do).
[11:30] <~Anshu> yeah
[11:31] <~Anshu> want me to start you off?
[11:31] *** dakkareth is now known as Nomoe_Hideaki
[11:31] <Brazen_Sand> I think Snow was coming to us with their locations
[11:31] <~Anshu> that's correct
[11:31] *** Virgil is now known as Bright_Snow
[11:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 4
[11:34] <Nomoe_Hideaki> oh right :p
[11:34] <Brazen_Sand> haha
[11:37] *** Pattern_Spider has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[11:37] <Nomoe_Hideaki> To AESS, what Charms does Brazen have active?
[11:37] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 4
[11:37] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 0 successes against TN 7: [1, 4, 5, 1], BOTCH!
[11:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh
[11:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heheheh
[11:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Double botch on Valor :p
[11:38] <Brazen_Sand> He has several Raksa graces
[11:38] <Brazen_Sand> Uhhh...Devil-Tyrant Avatar Shintai...
[11:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> On the other hand, Conviction is never less than 5 sux, so ...
[11:39] <Brazen_Sand> Impervious Primacy Mantle, Nightmare Fugue Vigilance, Transcendant Desert Creature, Cowing the Lowly, Crowned with Fury
[11:41] <Brazen_Sand> that's about it
[11:42] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, and Vitriolic Corona Endowment and Star-Piercing Spear of Glory
[11:42] <Bright_Snow> .ex 2
[11:42] <Pattern_Spider> Bright_Snow rolled 1 successes against TN 7: [5, 9]
[11:42] <Bright_Snow> Not afraid, but she doesn't like the odds
[11:42] <Brazen_Sand> Do we need Valor rolls?
[11:43] <Bright_Snow> Nah I just did it to see what Snow thought
[11:45] <Bright_Snow> favour
[11:45] <~Anshu> both spellings are correct
[11:45] <~Anshu> depending on which variant of English one uses
[11:45] <Bright_Snow> It looks wrong
[11:46] <~Anshu> it looks fine
[11:46] <Bright_Snow> You would say that
[11:46] <Bright_Snow> :)
[11:46] <Brazen_Sand> favour is fine.
[11:46] * Nomoe_Hideaki is inconsistent about AE and BE, deal with it :p
[11:46] <Brazen_Sand> It really doesn't matter which you use. : P
[11:47] <Bright_Snow> Most things I don't mind the AE spelling but the -our thing always irks me for some reason.
[11:48] <Bright_Snow> But enough of my personal ideosynchrocies
[11:50] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nomoe will fight them ... with bureaucracy! :p
[11:51] <Brazen_Sand> But Abyssals can cut through anything, even red tape
[11:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so they get bombed that much sooner :p
[11:56] <Brazen_Sand> (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHT3dpPve0o)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHT3dpPve0o
[11:59] <Brazen_Sand> Wait, do we know about the owl coming back?
[12:00] <~Anshu> Snow left at about the same time it did.
[12:01] <Brazen_Sand> We need to find out what it said
[12:14] <Brazen_Sand> NEVER!
[12:14] <Brazen_Sand> : P
[12:19] <~Anshu> oops >.<
[12:19] <~Anshu> Sorry about that
[12:19] <Brazen_Sand> what's wrong?
[12:19] <Bright_Snow> Ninja's finally got him
[12:19] <~Anshu> something updated and now it wants me to reboot
[12:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh. Replaced him!
[12:19] <Bright_Snow> Damnable Ninja's
[12:19] <Brazen_Sand> Don't they have better things to do >: (
[12:20] <Bright_Snow> Wonder if they can run a game?
[12:20] <~Anshu> I'll be right back, guys
[12:20] <~Anshu> shouldn't take long
[12:20] <Brazen_Sand> ok Session Close (#celestialdeliberativeOOC): Fri Jan 28 12:20:55 2011 -0700

Session Start (Anshu:#celestialdeliberativeOOC): Fri Jan 28 12:28:42 2011 -0700
[12:28] *** Anshu has joined #celestialdeliberativeOOC
[12:28] *** Topic on #celestialdeliberativeOOC is: Exalted 2nd: Dawn of the Third Age / OOC Channel / Next session on the 28th of January
[12:28] *** Topic set by dakkareth (3 hours ago at 9:17 AM)
[12:28] *** ChanServ sets mode +q Anshu
[12:28] *** ChanServ sets mode +o Anshu
[12:29] <~Anshu> did I miss anything?
[12:29] <Brazen_Sand> Nope
[12:30] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Just Bright Snow mentioning that she killed the Wizard of Oz, stuff like that
[12:30] <Bright_Snow> <Nomoe_Hideaki> Walking down the street he sighs. "Why does it seem to me that every time we meet there is a crisis of some sort?"<Nomoe_Hideaki> "If I was a mortal I might rail against destiny, but of course there is no such thing for Exalts such as us."<Bright_Snow> */ I believe I killed that particular Rakasha last year... /* "At least life is never dull when we are together." */S
[12:30] <~Anshu> ah
[12:34] <~Anshu> \and so SNow and Nomoe are off to visit the Thaumaturge, correct?
[12:35] <Brazen_Sand> Right
[12:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Where Exalts are concerned Destiny is more like a list of things that didn't happen as intended ;)
[12:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> The term is 'Raksha', isn't it?
[12:41] <~Anshu> yes, why?
[12:43] <Brazen_Sand> It doesn't matter
[12:43] <Brazen_Sand> Rakasha sounds like a reasonable regional alteration of the name
[12:44] <Bright_Snow> I always thought it had the additional 'a'. You learn something everyday
[12:44] <Brazen_Sand> Like Rakshasha
[12:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah, out of Hindu myth
[12:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Rakshasa
[12:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> though I imagine there's various spellings of that as well
[12:46] <Brazen_Sand> yup
[12:49] <~Anshu> "Pusher"?
[12:49] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Who?
[12:49] <Brazen_Sand> huh?
[12:49] <Brazen_Sand> XD Sorry
[12:49] <Brazen_Sand> that's my Alchemical character
[12:49] <Brazen_Sand> I meant Brazen
[12:50] <~Anshu> ok
[12:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so, what's the message?
[12:53] <~Anshu> I didn't know Snow was trying to read it :P
[12:54] <Brazen_Sand> Well what else would she try to do?
[12:59] <Brazen_Sand> Try not to look like you're watching for someone ; )
[13:00] <Brazen_Sand> Oh great, now he's an Assassin XD
[13:00] * Nomoe_Hideaki imagines that in Gem pretty much everyone walks around like that ... protection from the sun and all that.
[13:00] <Bright_Snow> Not everyone in a hooded cloak is an Assassin
[13:01] <Brazen_Sand> In a white hooded cloak, yes.
[13:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> well, Nomoe might say that Brazen doesn't know the meaning of subtlety, but he isn't really good at it himself :p
[13:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> at least when it comes to disguises and stealth and such
[13:02] <Brazen_Sand> Go find a bench and blend
[13:02] <Brazen_Sand> ; )
[13:10] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nomoe doesn't need Divine Flash Step to be about twenty times as fast as the average mortal :D
[13:10] <Brazen_Sand> Oh?
[13:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Lightning Speed is active at all times due to Light Body Style
[13:11] <Brazen_Sand> Wow
[13:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nomoe's primary ability focus is Athletics after all.
[13:13] <Nomoe_Hideaki> fast-forward to the meeting or whatever relevant things might happen in between?
[13:14] <~Anshu> yeah
[13:14] <Brazen_Sand> good idea
[13:16] <Bright_Snow> nids
[13:16] <Bright_Snow> everywhere
[13:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> :eek:
[13:17] <Brazen_Sand> *yawn* *eats*
[13:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I've been tempted ... by the players in my game would probably annihilate them like stepping on a bunch of bugs.
[13:18] <Brazen_Sand> In Exalted?
[13:18] <Bright_Snow> Consdiering Brazen is basically a heavy flamer we wouldn't have much of an issue
[13:19] * Nomoe_Hideaki nods
[13:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Also, Mass Combat
[13:19] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen can just set himself on fire and make it so that every Nid nearby would just die
[13:19] <Nomoe_Hideaki> all of us can annihilate bugs by the thousand as long as the leader isn't a Celestial itself
[13:19] <Brazen_Sand> Sound like Haanya
[13:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> In my game ... the PCs would probably fly over them, bombard them from the sky with magitech cannons and Lambent Bolts of Annihilation.
[13:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> That is, unless they decided to unleash a shoggoth on them.
[13:22] <Brazen_Sand> Is there any way to keep him from running?
[13:22] <Brazen_Sand> And Shoggoths are easy
[13:22] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Not if they're basically statted as a chimera.
[13:22] <Bright_Snow> Bloackade Movement
[13:22] <Bright_Snow> And the gact that either of us are always going to be faster than he is
[13:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I'll have Nomoe do Blockades.
[13:24] <Brazen_Sand> I refuse to believe that a Shoggoth can get a PD : P
[13:24] <Brazen_Sand> Hmmm...Brazen can just block off streets as well
[13:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> No. But metric tons of HL and a cap on how many HL non-mass destruction effects can inflict per attack
[13:25] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And Perfect Regeneration.
[13:25] <Brazen_Sand> I don't think Shoggoths regenerate
[13:25] <Brazen_Sand> They're just really really really tough
[13:25] <Brazen_Sand> Or at least they wouldn't have perfect regeneration
[13:25] * Nomoe_Hideaki shrugs. It's far more than a shoggoth then.
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> this is getting silly
[13:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I advertised it as a WMD and that's what it's going to be, unless the PCs get stupid about how they apply it.
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> Oh they're definitely WMDs
[13:26] <Brazen_Sand> it's just that Exalts >> WMDs
[13:27] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Oh, sure. But a few hundred thousand zombies? foooood.
[13:27] <Brazen_Sand> Well yeah
[13:28] <Brazen_Sand> Zombies are just extras
[13:29] <~Anshu> Snow
[13:29] <~Anshu> give me Per+Aware
[13:29] <Bright_Snow> I activate the charm I have that does things
[13:30] <Brazen_Sand> XD
[13:30] <~Anshu> very specific :P
[13:30] * Nomoe_Hideaki considers whether to power up Infinite Athletics Mastery
[13:31] <Bright_Snow> .ex 10
[13:31] <Pattern_Spider> Bright_Snow rolled 7 successes against TN 7: [9, 5, 8, 7, 7, 7, 8, 3, 1, 7]
[13:31] <Bright_Snow> 14 successes
[13:31] <Brazen_Sand> Nice!
[13:31] <Bright_Snow> The one that doubles awareness successes to see shit
[13:32] <Brazen_Sand> That would work if there was a fire around
[13:32] <Brazen_Sand> For Abyssals to shit around
[13:32] <Brazen_Sand> *better
[13:36] <~Anshu> so 14 success, noted
[13:37] <~Anshu> .ex 23
[13:37] <Brazen_Sand> It took you that long to note the successes?!O_O
[13:37] <Pattern_Spider> Anshu rolled 11 successes against TN 7: [1, 7, 6, 3, 3, 3, 5, 10, 9, 2, 9, 10, 7, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, 1, 8, 9, 9, 2]
[13:37] <~Anshu> I was making a sandwich
[13:37] <Brazen_Sand> oh
[13:40] <~Anshu> also, stunting a stealth roll is difficult.
[13:40] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[13:40] <Brazen_Sand> Although you can use the environment to good effect
[13:40] <~Anshu> yes
[13:40] <~Anshu> well, I should say, stunting stealth rolls as the ST is difficult
[13:41] <~Anshu> "this awesome thing is happening but you guys can't necessarily see it or otherwise know that it's there"
[13:41] <Brazen_Sand> XD yeah
[13:41] <Brazen_Sand> and then meta-gamers will be like OH WE KNOW ANYWAY
[13:43] <Brazen_Sand> *cough*
[13:44] <Bright_Snow> Activating my Pinnacle charm
[13:44] <Bright_Snow> And DBT
[13:44] <Bright_Snow> BTW that was the signal
[13:44] <Brazen_Sand> So much for stealth
[13:44] <Brazen_Sand> KOOL-AID MAN TIME
[13:45] <Bright_Snow> The fog totally doesn't fuck stealth. It makes me invisible
[13:45] <Brazen_Sand> I meant style
[13:46] <Brazen_Sand> Use your anima and make it silent Hill! : D
[13:46] <Brazen_Sand> *ahem* I hope I don't fuck everything up, but we need to stop him before he leaves, right?
[13:46] <Bright_Snow> I can totally do that but not right now, not to this enemy
[13:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> does Bright Snow give Hideaki an image of the situation?
[13:46] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, it'll just make him feel at home
[13:48] <Bright_Snow> SNEAK ATTACK!!!
[13:48] <Brazen_Sand> Uh, should I toss the thaumaturge to safety?
[13:48] <Bright_Snow> Well he is probably in the fog
[13:48] <Bright_Snow> It covers 250 Yards
[13:48] <Brazen_Sand> I'll od that
[13:48] <Brazen_Sand> *do that
[13:48] <Bright_Snow> But yeah she will yell now
[13:49] <Bright_Snow> Charms on are Stepping Beyond the Light Prana, Crystal Chameleon Form
[13:50] <Bright_Snow> How fast can you actually move Brazen?
[13:50] <Brazen_Sand> Ummm...
[13:50] <Bright_Snow> Because I would have thought it would have taken you a little time to reach here and all
[13:50] <Brazen_Sand> 30 yards/tick
[13:50] <Brazen_Sand> in flight
[13:51] <Bright_Snow> And roughly how far away do you think he would have been Anshu?
[13:51] <Brazen_Sand> If that's too fast, then just ignore what I did.
[13:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> a few hundred meters?
[13:51] <~Anshu> yeah, he wouldn't be there yet
[13:51] <Brazen_Sand> probably
[13:51] <Brazen_Sand> Okay then. *amnesia-dust*
[13:51] <Bright_Snow> Activating Death From Nowhere Method
[13:52] <Brazen_Sand> It'll take me about 10 ticks to get there
[13:52] <Brazen_Sand> wait a sec, how many charms have you been able to activate reflexively?
[13:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> free reflexives, remember?
[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> I know, but I don't think the form charm is a reflexive
[13:53] <Bright_Snow> Well considering I activated the fog as a reflexive. took the Form charm up before combat started
[13:53] <Brazen_Sand> Form charm is obvious
[13:53] <Bright_Snow> Ok then no form charm
[13:53] <Bright_Snow> Actually wait
[13:53] <Bright_Snow> I'm invisible
[13:53] <Bright_Snow> So Form Charm
[13:54] <Bright_Snow> Obvious or not if he can't see me, he doesn't get to see the form.
[13:54] <~Anshu> >.> are there going to be attack rolls?
[13:54] <Bright_Snow> Yeah sorry
[13:54] <Bright_Snow> Just checking my dice pools
[13:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> it occurs to me that depending on Join Battle rolls I may have posted to quickly as well, though Nomoe can get there pretty much instantly with Divine Flash Step
[13:55] <Brazen_Sand> Nomoe should roll JB
[13:55] <Bright_Snow> .ex 20
[13:55] <Pattern_Spider> Bright_Snow rolled 5 successes against TN 7: [9, 1, 6, 1, 4, 6, 6, 8, 6, 6, 1, 3, 7, 1, 8, 1, 4, 5, 1, 7]
[13:55] <Brazen_Sand> Ouch
[13:55] * Nomoe_Hideaki shoots Pattern_Spider
[13:55] <Bright_Snow> Well at least it is unexpected
[13:55] <Brazen_Sand> For now
[13:55] <Bright_Snow> I never expect an unexpected attack to work
[13:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 8
[13:56] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 2 successes against TN 7: [1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 2, 9, 6]
[13:56] <Brazen_Sand> That would be nice if it could happen
[13:56] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that's 4 sux on JB
[13:56] <Bright_Snow> And JB
[13:57] <Bright_Snow> .ex 8
[13:57] <Pattern_Spider> Bright_Snow rolled 4 successes against TN 7: [6, 3, 8, 9, 4, 7, 8, 3]
[13:57] <~Anshu> Uncanny Impulse Evasion
[13:57] <Bright_Snow> I really need to get Hideaki to teach her Secrets of Future Strife
[13:57] <Brazen_Sand> INCREDIBLE SURPRISE : O
[13:58] <Brazen_Sand> Well, he does seem to be the ninja guy
[13:58] <Bright_Snow> He'd need more of the style first though
[13:58] <Nomoe_Hideaki> we only have to try that nine more times and we'll get through
[13:58] <Bright_Snow> As I believe you can only teach at Form charm level
[13:58] <Brazen_Sand> How many ticks was that?
[13:58] <Nomoe_Hideaki> assuming he was at Resonance 0, which is unlikely
[13:58] <Nomoe_Hideaki> tick order hasn'tstarted yet
[13:59] <Bright_Snow> None it was surprise
[13:59] <Brazen_Sand> Time still passed
[13:59] <Bright_Snow> You may now growl in irritation
[13:59] <Brazen_Sand> Time still passed
[13:59] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Do you have to know the Form to teach? Huh. It makes sense, but if I ever read anything like that I must have forgotten.
[14:00] <Brazen_Sand> POKEMON-POKEMON-POKEMON-POKEMON
[14:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Battlewheel order now?
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> Wait a second, he'd have to do a PD too, wouldn't he?
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> No wait, his DV was prolly enough
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> herr-dur
[14:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> he didn't know that, though
[14:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> it's pretty brave not using a PD against a 20 die attack, unless your DV is ridiculously high
[14:02] <Brazen_Sand> Just go with it : P
[14:03] <Brazen_Sand> It's not like we don't do the same thing
[14:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Brazen and the Abyssal still need to roll JB, I believe
[14:03] <Brazen_Sand> Not there yet
[14:03] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah, but we'll not know when you get there if you don't JB
[14:03] <Brazen_Sand> Ooookay,
[14:03] <Brazen_Sand> Should I take a penalty or something?
[14:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> you join battle, but all your actions will be Dashs until you arrive, I figure
[14:04] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, try talking to the guy while you fight.
[14:04] <Bright_Snow> He did however still need to use a surprise negator
[14:04] <Brazen_Sand> Makes sense
[14:04] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, he did use that
[14:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> remember the +2m surcharge due to Houserules
[14:04] <Nomoe_Hideaki> for surprise negators
[14:04] <~Anshu> good point
[14:04] <~Anshu> he should rolol JB too shouldn't he
[14:05] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah
[14:05] <~Anshu> .ex 21
[14:05] <Pattern_Spider> Anshu rolled 9 successes against TN 7: [5, 3, 9, 6, 6, 3, 4, 3, 8, 8, 10, 2, 9, 5, 6, 8, 5, 8, 6, 9, 4]
[14:05] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ah, damn
[14:05] <Bright_Snow> So he is going first
[14:05] <Bright_Snow> and likely second
[14:05] <Nomoe_Hideaki> what has he, Infinite Awareness Mastery? o_O
[14:06] <~Anshu> yeah *is using the simplified system*
[14:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I mean, if so, then great! That's 20m wasted.
[14:06] <Brazen_Sand> .ex 15
[14:06] <Pattern_Spider> Brazen_Sand rolled 7 successes against TN 7: [8, 1, 9, 10, 5, 9, 8, 5, 6, 2, 3, 5, 8, 5, 2]
[14:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that's problematic for *real* enemies, though
[14:06] <Brazen_Sand> Nomoe, don't whine : P
[14:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> because it means he basically gets Infinite EVERYTHING Mastery
[14:06] <~Anshu> there's three of you on one guy :P
[14:06] <Brazen_Sand> We still have him at 3-1
[14:06] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[14:06] <Bright_Snow> Not really it means his high stat is Mental
[14:06] <Brazen_Sand> And Awareness is kinda his thing
[14:07] <Bright_Snow> Not Physical
[14:07] <Brazen_Sand> Night Caste
[14:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Day
[14:07] <Bright_Snow> Day Caste
[14:07] <Brazen_Sand> You know what I mean
[14:07] <Bright_Snow> Damn not fast enough
[14:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> still, it results in antagonists without any flaws in their abilities, which is annoying
[14:08] <Brazen_Sand> Please stop slowing down the action
[14:08] <Brazen_Sand> it's slow enough as it is.
[14:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Who is?
[14:08] <Brazen_Sand> With teh complaints. When have we ever not swiss-cheesed enemies?
[14:08] <Bright_Snow> When they swiss cheesed us
[14:08] <Brazen_Sand> That was our fault
[14:09] <Bright_Snow> Wy do I keep having to remind you of that
[14:09] <Brazen_Sand> As I recall, the Empress did still almost die.
[14:09] <Bright_Snow> I need Holy Charms
[14:09] <Bright_Snow> The Empress is alive and she is voting Republican
[14:10] <Brazen_Sand> FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU
[14:10] <~Anshu> Xd
[14:10] <~Anshu> XD*
[14:10] <~Anshu> Hmmm
[14:10] <~Anshu> Snow is still invisible, isn't she?
[14:10] <Bright_Snow> Yeah
[14:10] <Bright_Snow> Whenever I'm not attacking
[14:10] <Brazen_Sand> can I take an action to get everyone to leave the area?
[14:10] <Brazen_Sand> So we don't kill a whole ton of mortals, while I'm dashing?
[14:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> on your action, sure
[14:11] <Brazen_Sand> I'll wait til you block him off, then.
[14:11] <Bright_Snow> Who is going to kill mortals, other than the Abyssal. I'm precise in my carnage
[14:11] <Brazen_Sand> I'm not though.
[14:11] <~Anshu> Brazen, did you roll JB as well?
[14:11] <Brazen_Sand> yeah
[14:11] <~Anshu> I missed it I think, what did you get?
[14:11] <Brazen_Sand> 7 sux
[14:12] <Brazen_Sand> 7 sux
[14:12] <~Anshu> ok
[14:12] <~Anshu> so Snow, your form automatically re-establishes stealth, or...?
[14:15] <~Anshu> Snow?
[14:15] <Brazen_Sand> SNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
[14:15] <Nomoe_Hideaki> The form renders her invisible
[14:15] <Brazen_Sand> *MGS-Game Over*
[14:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that is, -2 external penalty to be seen and automatically considered to meet the requirements for reestablish surprise
[14:16] <~Anshu> got it
[14:16] <Brazen_Sand> what about the seizure-cloud?
[14:17] <Brazen_Sand> I think it did something like that too, didn't it?
[14:17] <Bright_Snow> sorry
[14:17] <Bright_Snow> I was just reading it
[14:17] <Nomoe_Hideaki> also a second -2 external penalty from Stepping Beyond the Light
[14:18] <Bright_Snow> Yep so a -4 External Penalty
[14:18] <Brazen_Sand> What about the rest of us? Can we still fight okay?
[14:18] <Brazen_Sand> In the mist, I mean.
[14:18] <Bright_Snow> No reason why not
[14:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Unless you target Snow ;)
[14:19] <Brazen_Sand> Just checking
[14:19] <Brazen_Sand> I'll make sure that doesn't happen
[14:19] <Brazen_Sand> Now Block the motherfucker off, dude : P
[14:19] <Bright_Snow> I'm going to grab food brb
[14:20] <Brazen_Sand> Who's turn is it?
[14:20] <Brazen_Sand> *whose
[14:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> His turn.
[14:21] <~Anshu> Taking the guard action for now
[14:21] <~Anshu> Brazen, go
[14:21] <Nomoe_Hideaki> And if he'll get that same 21 dice pool for Athletics as well due to the simplified system then I might as well not bother trying to do that. Will he, Anshu?
[14:22] <Brazen_Sand> He shouldn't always get Mastery
[14:22] <~Anshu> all right, fair enough
[14:23] <~Anshu> so Brazen is Dashing?
[14:23] <Brazen_Sand> and yelling
[14:23] <~Anshu> okay
[14:23] <Brazen_Sand> I would assume that it doesn't really require a social attack to get mortals to run away from danger
[14:23] <~Anshu> indeed
[14:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> you can Dash and make a social attack at the same time without losing anything :)
[14:23] <Brazen_Sand> Eh
[14:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 1
[14:23] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 0 successes against TN 7: [1], BOTCH!
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> huh?
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> I wasn't yelling at you, Nomoe
[14:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> just making up my mind
[14:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> rolling a dice to decide what to do
[14:24] <Bright_Snow> back
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> Anyway, we have emergency sections in the lower section of Gem
[14:24] <Brazen_Sand> it IS Gem, after all.
[14:25] <Brazen_Sand> Hopefully the Dragonbloods can help keep the sick in the right place and so forth
[14:25] <Brazen_Sand> Wait, can I dash while flying?
[14:25] <Bright_Snow> Looks like PatternSpider hates you too Nomoe
[14:26] <~Anshu> yes, you can dash while flyinh
[14:26] <Brazen_Sand> Then I go 60 yards/tick
[14:27] <Brazen_Sand> To quote Homestuck
[14:27] <Brazen_Sand> Pshoooo~
[14:28] <Bright_Snow> Also Restablishing Surprise
[14:28] <Bright_Snow> And Activating Fury and Pursuit Charm
[14:29] <Bright_Snow> As it is the only fury charm I have
[14:29] <Bright_Snow> What is the Restablishing surprise dice pool?
[14:29] <Brazen_Sand> Dex + Stealth?
[14:29] <Nomoe_Hideaki> dex+stealth minus flurry penalties
[14:30] <Nomoe_Hideaki> vs. wits+awareness+2, IIRC
[14:30] <Bright_Snow> Yay
[14:30] <Brazen_Sand> Well, now it's -4
[14:30] <~Anshu> Stepping Outside Existence
[14:30] <Brazen_Sand> -2 I mean
[14:30] <Bright_Snow> Nope it is -4 successes
[14:30] <Brazen_Sand> Oh fuck you!
[14:30] <Nomoe_Hideaki> That's on tick 3?
[14:30] <~Anshu> yeah
[14:31] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so it's still closing on tick 4?
[14:31] <Nomoe_Hideaki> seeing as it's a simple action with speed 5
[14:31] <~Anshu> yeah
[14:31] <Brazen_Sand> Ah...goood....
[14:31] <~Anshu> if you guys want to follow, you can
[14:31] <Brazen_Sand> Kick his ass >: D
[14:31] <Brazen_Sand> Oh this can't possibly be a trap :B
[14:32] <Brazen_Sand> Nomoe, can you blockade him?
[14:32] <~Anshu> of course, you'll get to experience trippy mind-scarring Neverborn visions
[14:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> can't prevent his action after it's happened
[14:32] <Bright_Snow> Wait where is Stepping Outside Existence as a charm?
[14:32] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen Sand is too busy being awesome to experience visions
[14:32] <~Anshu> Abyssals book
[14:32] <Brazen_Sand> Abyssals, I think.
[14:32] <Brazen_Sand> He'll just get pissed and blast out of there as a Devil-Tiger
[14:32] <Bright_Snow> Is it a dodge charm?
[14:32] <~Anshu> Athletics
[14:33] <Nomoe_Hideaki> our turn now?
[14:33] <Brazen_Sand> I'll get there before it closes
[14:34] <Brazen_Sand> Wait a second, can anyone generate sunlight?
[14:34] <Bright_Snow> Nomoe
[14:34] <~Anshu> yes, Nomoe Snow and Brazen are all up now on Tick 5
[14:34] <~Anshu> the vortex is still closing
[14:34] <Bright_Snow> Ok, out of curiousity was his campsite within 5 miles?
[14:34] <~Anshu> yes
[14:35] <Brazen_Sand> ...Can we pull him out?
[14:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Good point!
[14:35] <~Anshu> you cannot pull him out, no
[14:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> hah
[14:35] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nomoe might be able to
[14:35] <Bright_Snow> "Do not follow. He most likely joins his fellow" Snow yells. "Better instead to attack his fellows at the camp before he can warn them."
[14:36] <Brazen_Sand> Wrong channel
[14:36] <Bright_Snow> Damn
[14:36] <Bright_Snow> And cuts off Dakk
[14:37] <Bright_Snow> She has no idea whether that has the range IC to do so. On the otherhand it is by far the most likely place for him to go
[14:37] <Brazen_Sand> They won't know what's coming either, though
[14:37] <Brazen_Sand> *evil grins*
[14:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I should probably do the attack first.
[14:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> before trying to get out of there again
[14:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> FLash Step to cover the distance and re-establishing surprise.
[14:38] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 21
[14:38] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 12 successes against TN 7: [4, 1, 9, 2, 5, 1, 8, 10, 6, 3, 7, 2, 7, 9, 9, 4, 7, 7, 8, 8, 5]
[14:39] <Brazen_Sand> Do we need to JB again?
[14:39] <~Anshu> re-establishing surprise once inside the vortex
[14:39] <~Anshu> ?
[14:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Reflexively putting up OFoB, Clinch attack with 36 dice.
[14:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Basically the mode of his sudden appearance is the action of the re-establish surprise
[14:39] <Bright_Snow> Snow has defaulted to Plan 2 on 4
[14:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> who'd expect Nomoe out of thin air? :p
[14:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 36
[14:40] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 14 successes against TN 7: [4, 5, 9, 5, 2, 2, 4, 10, 4, 4, 8, 6, 4, 1, 8, 5, 4, 4, 6, 10, 1, 9, 1, 8, 2, 4, 2, 7, 7, 10, 2, 5, 4, 4, 9, 5]
[14:40] <Brazen_Sand> NO ONE EXPECTS THE CIRCLE INQUISITION
[14:40] <Brazen_Sand> I spend 60 XP
[14:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> hey, CE
[14:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> can you wait until my action is done?
[14:40] <Brazen_Sand> Oh sorry
[14:40] <Brazen_Sand> BUt you haven't shot out yet
[14:40] <~Anshu> so that's an unarmed attack I take it?
[14:40] <Brazen_Sand> The circle has to close first.
[14:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> unarmed clinch, yes
[14:41] <~Anshu> I see
[14:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> my escape attempt will come after that, reflexively
[14:41] <Nomoe_Hideaki> if I get him
[14:41] <Bright_Snow> Ahhh ignore what I said as well
[14:41] <Brazen_Sand> It is a Simple Action.
[14:41] <Brazen_Sand> What he did, I mean.
[14:41] <Bright_Snow> I thought you were both showing up at the camp not here
[14:42] <Brazen_Sand> We are.
[14:42] <Nomoe_Hideaki> No, Nomoe is basically flash stepping in and trying to grab the abyssal the moment he goes into the portal, thereby following him.
[14:42] <~Anshu> so the 12 successes was to establish surprise, and the 14 was to grab him?
[14:42] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yes
[14:44] <~Anshu> ok
[14:44] <~Anshu> Is Snow following them into the vortex?
[14:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> can we resolve the attack first?
[14:45] <~Anshu> yes, sorry
[14:45] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Because as I said, Nomoe might try to get out again
[14:46] <~Anshu> hmmm
[14:46] <~Anshu> does Nomoe have a shaping defense?
[14:46] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Nope!
[14:46] <~Anshu> okay then
[14:46] <Brazen_Sand> O_O
[14:46] <Bright_Snow> Actually she was going to try to make it to where they are heading to ahead of them when it closes with them inside
[14:46] <~Anshu> *is not going to insta-death anyone*
[14:47] <Bright_Snow> After all there are 4 more Abyssals there
[14:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> What he has is movement that can defeat perfect effects
[14:47] <Brazen_Sand> Ahhh
[14:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so getting out would boil down to an opposed roll for him
[14:47] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, btw, when they pop out, Brazen is gonna punch him in the face
[14:47] <~Anshu> an opposed Essence roll?
[14:47] <Brazen_Sand> The Abyssal
[14:47] <Brazen_Sand> Or at least try
[14:47] <Nomoe_Hideaki> But to know whether he'll try that I'll need to know whether he manages to grab the abyssal
[14:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> hence my pushing to know the attack resolution
[14:48] <~Anshu> right
[14:51] <Brazen_Sand> XD Now I'm imagining Brazen just cramming himself in there too
[14:51] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so that's what ... :?
[14:51] <Brazen_Sand> and ruining that intimate moment of connection with Snow
[14:51] <Brazen_Sand> "OH HI NOMOE I'M IN YOUR HEAD TOO! :B"
[14:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> *mind punch*
[14:52] <~Anshu> that's part of the vortex, It imposes total sensory deprivation
[14:52] <Brazen_Sand> And that is the man who made a devil-tiger cry ;_;
[14:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Mmh. So IC Nomoe doesn't know whether the clinch was successful.
[14:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> k.
[14:52] <~Anshu> right
[14:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> typing now
[14:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .ex 4
[14:53] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled 0 successes against TN 7: [4, 6, 6, 2]
[14:53] <~Anshu> >.<
[14:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah, Nomoe isn't liking that
[14:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> at all
[14:53] <Brazen_Sand> Can I help?
[14:53] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Let me finish, ok?
[14:58] <~Anshu> are you done now?
[14:58] <Brazen_Sand> Can I go now?
[14:58] <Nomoe_Hideaki> sry, not yes
[14:58] <Bright_Snow> Int and Occult Roll
[14:58] <Bright_Snow> .ex 8
[14:58] <Pattern_Spider> Bright_Snow rolled 6 successes against TN 7: [9, 7, 8, 2, 10, 3, 9, 5]
[14:59] <~Anshu> hmmm
[14:59] <~Anshu> to figure out what's going on, correct?
[14:59] <Bright_Snow> I should have made that earlier
[14:59] <Bright_Snow> Yep
[15:00] <~Anshu> you identify the charm and know more or less how it works
[15:01] <Brazen_Sand> zzzzz
[15:01] <~Anshu> okay
[15:01] <~Anshu> hmmm
[15:01] <~Anshu> I know Brazen is going in after Nomoe; is Snow?
[15:01] <Bright_Snow> Now assume Snow shrieks and says what it says upthread to Brazen
[15:01] <Bright_Snow> Snow is heading to where she believes the Abyssal to be heading
[15:01] <Brazen_Sand> Brazen hears you. Brazen don't care.
[15:02] <~Anshu> ok
[15:02] <Bright_Snow> And into a fight with four abyssals
[15:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> meh. Sorry for the delay. Let's just leave it at this.
[15:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> For Nomoe's action, that is
[15:02] <~Anshu> right, I just want to know how many characters are going into the vortex
[15:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Can't get the stunt to work as well as i'd like
[15:03] <~Anshu> Brazen hold on a second
[15:03] <Brazen_Sand> Gah!
[15:04] <Bright_Snow> 2 I believe Anshu
[15:04] <Bright_Snow> Everyone but me
[15:04] <~Anshu> you can have an epiphany, but can't I do weird vision sequences first?
[15:04] <Brazen_Sand> Anshu, that would take you like 3 hours at your speed
[15:04] <Brazen_Sand> with all due respect
[15:04] <~Anshu> nuh-uh., The thing that slows me down the most is looking up rules and stuff, and I don't have to do that for this stuff
[15:05] <Bright_Snow> Also this about normal speed for combat Brazen so chill
[15:05] <Brazen_Sand> Fine fine fine
[15:05] <~Anshu> okay
[15:05] <Brazen_Sand> I've listened to Libera Me From Hell like 4 times in a row. I am pumped.
[15:05] <Bright_Snow> Believe me it can be slower than this in person
[15:06] <~Anshu> now I just need to decide if I want to do each vision in a separate chat or in the main IC window
[15:06] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah, but at least you see people and such
[15:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Definitely. In my RL game there's a fight that will be running over three sessions once we finish it.
[15:06] <Bright_Snow> That just means you want to throttle them for not looking it up during your action
[15:06] <~Anshu> I think I'll do it in the main window
[15:06] <Bright_Snow> Except when it is the GM
[15:06] <Bright_Snow> ST whatever
[15:08] <Brazen_Sand> Wow, real knife-twist in Homestuck today
[15:08] <Bright_Snow> Don't read it
[15:10] <Bright_Snow> cuts off after Bright Snow?
[15:11] <Brazen_Sand> Oh my god
[15:11] <Brazen_Sand> He admitted he might have a problem. Shit has officially gotten real D:
[15:12] <Brazen_Sand> Anshu?
[15:12] <Brazen_Sand> ...wait a second...oh no fucking way O_O
[15:15] <~Anshu> for the record, this is a vision Nomoe is having, not actually happening
[15:15] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[15:15] <Brazen_Sand> but you know, future visions are possible
[15:15] <~Anshu> yes
[15:16] <Bright_Snow> Kinda guessed that it wasn't happening
[15:16] <~Anshu> *will pause here for Nomoe to react, and also to think up something for Brazen*
[15:16] <Brazen_Sand> Just that it might happen
[15:18] <Bright_Snow> The Neverborn aren't getting in my tattoo's
[15:19] <Bright_Snow> Not through Snow anyway. She loathes the underworld and pretty much everything to do with it
[15:20] <Brazen_Sand> is scary
[15:20] <Brazen_Sand> BRAZEN SAND WOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THE DREAMS OF THE NEVERBORN, BUT HE'S TOO BUSY...eh, you know.
[15:20] <Brazen_Sand> They can't really do that anyway
[15:20] <Brazen_Sand> They're barely sapient, remember?
[15:20] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (no need to wait for me while proceeding with Brazen)
[15:20] <Bright_Snow> There as Sapient as the ST wants them to be
[15:21] <Brazen_Sand> Well, yeah
[15:21] <Brazen_Sand> Okay, fine, but they can't move, and these are just dreams
[15:22] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Dreams real enough to murder you in x different ways if you get in too deep.
[15:24] <Nomoe_Hideaki> that was spending wp btw to overcome the valor failure
[15:25] <~Anshu> ok
[15:30] <Brazen_Sand> Do I need to roll anything?
[15:30] <~Anshu> no
[15:30] <Brazen_Sand> Do I see anything in Essence sight?
[15:31] <Nomoe_Hideaki> complete sensory deprivation, I think he said
[15:31] <Nomoe_Hideaki> and since Nomoe has AESS as well ...
[15:31] <Brazen_Sand> yeah, I guess not.
[15:31] <~Anshu> yes, complete sensory deprivation, except for the visions the Neverborn give you
[15:32] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh. it occurs to me that if Harmony got into this ... Eye of the Unconquered Sun would probably be a terrible, terrible mistake :D
[15:32] <Brazen_Sand> Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see...
[15:32] <Brazen_Sand> Ouch, Anshu X_X
[15:33] <Brazen_Sand> ...wow, that was anti-climactic
[15:33] <Brazen_Sand> I was hoping I could increase the size : \
[15:33] <Bright_Snow> That is how Solars end up tearing their own eyes out
[15:33] <Brazen_Sand> it doesn't help though
[15:34] <Brazen_Sand> (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR4esFv3LJ4)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR4esFv3LJ4
[15:34] <Bright_Snow> Tell me when they are about to appear in the camp because I want to appear seconds before them in a lightning attack from a odd mist
[15:34] <Brazen_Sand> That would be neat
[15:34] <~Anshu> they're just about to appear
[15:35] <Brazen_Sand> Nomoe, you need Visine! D:
[15:36] <Brazen_Sand> Great, now I need to figure out 10 more mutation points to spend : \
[15:36] <Bright_Snow> ah cool
[15:36] <Brazen_Sand> Any ideas?
[15:36] <Brazen_Sand> DTAS, btw
[15:36] <Brazen_Sand> That's why
[15:38] <Brazen_Sand> Activating Iconic Anima
[15:38] <~Anshu> what does it look like again?
[15:39] <~Anshu> *will incorporate it into his description*
[15:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so, he's clinched? :)
[15:39] <Brazen_Sand> Uhhh, it did look like a sun with a sandstorm around it
[15:39] <Brazen_Sand> But do you think it should change sine he's a Devil-Tiger now?
[15:39] <Nomoe_Hideaki> so. The visions, any mechanical effect?
[15:39] <Brazen_Sand> Just the iconic anima appearance, I mean
[15:40] <Brazen_Sand> Oh wait, Kamina glasses have to appear now as well
[15:40] <~Anshu> you and Brazen each get at least one dot of Whispers, free
[15:40] <Brazen_Sand> I have a Shaping Defense, though
[15:40] <Brazen_Sand> Purity of Madness
[15:40] <Bright_Snow> By the way travelling at speed 240
[15:40] <~Anshu> oh
[15:40] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Shaping Defense would be the appropriate measure?
[15:40] <Brazen_Sand> *takes a Limit*
[15:40] <~Anshu> okay, Brazen doesn't take anything
[15:40] <~Anshu> and yes
[15:40] <Brazen_Sand> but is pretty creeped out
[15:41] <Bright_Snow> And Sneak
[15:41] <Bright_Snow> ATTACK
[15:41] <Brazen_Sand> hat would be so awesome if Snow kills everyone before we even get up :D
[15:41] <Bright_Snow> Flurrying on each abyssal there
[15:41] <Brazen_Sand> With glasses
[15:42] <Bright_Snow> I'm unlikely to hit but still why not
[15:42] <Brazen_Sand> The Sun has glasses now
[15:42] <~Anshu> =/
[15:42] <~Anshu> no
[15:42] <~Anshu> no Kamina glasses
[15:42] <Brazen_Sand> I'm pretty sure I must be confused, Anshu
[15:42] <Brazen_Sand> Is Brazen your character?
[15:42] <Brazen_Sand> ;P
[15:42] <Bright_Snow> No but he is the ST
[15:43] <Brazen_Sand> But it's my anima D:
[15:43] <Bright_Snow> So Flurrying
[15:43] <Bright_Snow> Remind me how to get pattern spider to do that
[15:43] <Brazen_Sand> .exf 5
[15:43] <Pattern_Spider> invalid syntax - arguments must be separated by " "
[15:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> multiple arguments
[15:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .exf 5 4 3
[15:43] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled [1, 5, 0] successes against TN7
[15:43] <Nomoe_Hideaki> .exf 4 x3
[15:43] <Pattern_Spider> Nomoe_Hideaki rolled [-1, -1, 2] successes against TN7
[15:44] <Brazen_Sand> wow
[15:44] <Brazen_Sand> Oh, right, that's why you rolled negatives
[15:44] <~Anshu> also, in semi-related news
[15:44] <Bright_Snow> .exf 17 16 13 12
[15:44] <Pattern_Spider> Bright_Snow rolled [6, 5, 10, 7] successes against TN7
[15:44] <~Anshu> I saw this in Dawgstar's Nanoha WIW
[15:44] <~Anshu> (Link: http://i55.tinypic.com/5poc9c.jpg)http://i55.tinypic.com/5poc9c.jpg
[15:45] <Bright_Snow> That would make it 7 ,6 ,11 , 8 respectively
[15:45] <Brazen_Sand> I bet SHE gets glasses in her anima *pouts*
[15:45] <Bright_Snow> First two with direlance, last two with claws
[15:45] <Bright_Snow> And she is burning all this in peripheral. But not yet iconic
[15:46] <~Anshu> ok
[15:46] <Bright_Snow> Oh and all of those are unexpected
[15:46] <~Anshu> right
[15:46] <Bright_Snow> And Snow is now 40 yards away from them
[15:47] <Bright_Snow> I need White Reaper and mooks about to make this more powerful
[15:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Eclipse Oath, because it's dramatic :)
[15:48] <Brazen_Sand> To yourself?
[15:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> ?
[15:48] <Brazen_Sand> Are you making teh Eclipse Oath to yourself?
[15:48] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Witnessed by Heaven, the usual
[15:49] <Brazen_Sand> wow
[15:49] <Brazen_Sand> that's pretty badass
[15:49] <Bright_Snow> 3 dice nom
[15:49] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[15:49] <Brazen_Sand> I wasn't going to at first cause it wasn't a rolled action
[15:50] <Brazen_Sand> but yeah, for the +1 XP
[15:51] <Bright_Snow> I think we just totally rewrote the scenary for the scene
[15:52] <~Anshu> heh
[15:52] <~Anshu> I'm thinking of ending the session here
[15:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Investing in Integrity was the next thing I was going to do anyway. Maybe I should have done it earlier :p
[15:52] <Brazen_Sand> Can we at least see who's there?
[15:52] <Bright_Snow> We may get reinforcements next week
[15:52] <Brazen_Sand> Get a couple rounds in >_>
[15:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> wait. you said the Abyssal was clinched.
[15:52] <Nomoe_Hideaki> how can he get away?
[15:52] <Brazen_Sand> I doubt it, since Rain can't play at 3 PM
[15:53] <Brazen_Sand> and Danakir has a sick grandma
[15:53] <Brazen_Sand> and I'm not sure I'll be able to attend
[15:53] <Bright_Snow> But next week is February
[15:53] <Brazen_Sand> I don't think that Faustus can just be dropped into the fight
[15:54] <~Anshu> okay, make that "tries to get away" then
[15:54] <Nomoe_Hideaki> also he takes damage if he was clinched
[15:55] <Nomoe_Hideaki> 19L (P) plus however many sux got over his DV
[15:56] <Bright_Snow> Did they all surprise break and perfect?
[15:56] <Bright_Snow> btw
[15:57] <~Anshu> btw?
[15:57] <Brazen_Sand> oh, Snow should prolly get a 3-die for that lightning strike
[15:57] <Brazen_Sand> that was pretty ballsy
[15:57] <~Anshu> oh, that was an addendum
[15:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> yeah, that was cool
[15:57] <Nomoe_Hideaki> the fire dying, the fog and the chittering more than the lightning, I thought, but same effect
[15:59] <~Anshu> um.... they surprise broke, but didn't perfect.
[15:59] <Bright_Snow> Travelling at about 523 mph will do that
[15:59] <~Anshu> yeah
[15:59] <Bright_Snow> So did I hit any
[16:00] <Bright_Snow> 7, 6, 11, 8 btw for the successes to hit
[16:00] <~Anshu> no, their DVs were too good. At least this time around.
[16:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> how much did Nomoe's clinch attempt hit by, btw?
[16:01] <Bright_Snow> Even against the 11?
[16:01] <~Anshu> yeah
[16:01] <Bright_Snow> CRICKEY
[16:01] <Nomoe_Hideaki> and what's the Day's soak against Lethal Piercing?
[16:01] <~Anshu> of course, this is using the cheaty simplified method
[16:01] <~Anshu> I'll give them actual stats for the climactic battle next week
[16:01] <Bright_Snow> I'm beginning to think I should give up trying to hit things in combat
[16:01] <~Anshu> and 0 successes, Nomoe
[16:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> how's that? if you hit you always hit by at least 1
[16:02] <~Anshu> well, technically you were even with his DV but I decided to give you the hit anyway
[16:02] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Ah. 19L (P) then.
[16:03] <~Anshu> okay
[16:03] <Brazen_Sand> Ugh, there's a scientology ad here
[16:04] <~Anshu> okay, now I'm going to end the session
[16:04] <Bright_Snow> Oh wait three dice stunt could bump up the 11
[16:04] <Bright_Snow> .ex 1
[16:04] <Pattern_Spider> Bright_Snow rolled 1 successes against TN 7: [8]
[16:05] <Bright_Snow> Still doesn't hit does it
[16:05] <~Anshu> no, I want most of the action to happen next week, The only reason I resolved Nomoe's clinch right now was because I knew if I waited till next week I'd forget
[16:05] <Bright_Snow> Fair enough
[16:06] <~Anshu> so 8 XP all around, +1 each to Snow and Nomoe
[16:06] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Mmhh. Whispers. Now that sucks.
[16:07] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Shaping defense probably won't help retroactively. Maybe Transcendant Hero's Meditation.
[16:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Or Nomoe could consult Nuwa.
[16:08] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Fun, though! :)
[16:09] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (the session, not the whispers)
[16:09] <~Anshu> right
[16:09] <~Anshu> thank you =)
[16:09] <Brazen_Sand> It was cool
[16:10] <Bright_Snow> Fun session
[16:10] <Brazen_Sand> Aw man, now I gotta keep up with Nomoe D:
[16:10] <Brazen_Sand> Good thing I do Aggro to...oh...EVERYTHING now >: D
[16:10] <Bright_Snow> At least I can keep surprise attacking them next week
[16:10] <Brazen_Sand> XD I think the "holy shit" in the IC is actually appropriate
[16:11] <~Anshu> heh
[16:11] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Well, that wasn't so much Nomoe being awesome as it was Anshu being generous and giving him that hit. Still, Nomoe being the stickler for appearances that he is makes the best of it.
[16:12] <Brazen_Sand> It was more the head popping off like a cork thing
[16:12] <Brazen_Sand> Like you didn't jsut snap his neck, it came OFF
[16:12] <Brazen_Sand> POPPED OFF
[16:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> (Snow and anyone with 6+ sux on Per+Soc of course knows that he is not at all as calm or even bored as he makes himself appear)
[16:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> well yeah.
[16:12] <~Anshu> 19L is a lot of damage
[16:12] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Fist of the Daystar Style is nasty with damage.
[16:12] <Bright_Snow> It isn't like Nomoe has a bunch of repressed rage he now has Violence to get out of his system
[16:12] <Brazen_Sand> Yeah
[16:13] <Nomoe_Hideaki> heh
[16:13] <Nomoe_Hideaki> I think we're all about ready to channel rage ;)
[16:15] <Bright_Snow> Snow is always channeling rage into violence
[16:16] <~Anshu> I hope the visions were cool
[16:16] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Not what I was expecting.
[16:17] <~Anshu> is that a good thing or bad thing?
[16:18] <Nomoe_Hideaki> Depends. I'm assuming that getting personal attention with personalized visions is a bad thing, as opposed to getting the 'gaze into the rotting, agonized face of GOD' treatment
[16:19] <~Anshu> to be honest, it never even occurred to me that you /wouldn't/ get personalized visions
[16:21] <~Anshu> so no, it's not a particularly bad sign
[16:23] <Nomoe_Hideaki> mmh. Probably works by reflecting everyone's fears back at them, appropriately twisted. Or something like that.
[16:23] <~Anshu> that was my idea, roughly
[16:25] <~Anshu> The bit with Anshu was there for context, mainly
[16:25] <Nomoe_Hideaki> once applied it's a keyword-less effect I assume?
[16:25] <~Anshu> yes - context that Nomoe probably doesn't understand, but still context
[16:26] <Nomoe_Hideaki> depends on how much is known about the early days of the Grand Circle
[16:28] *** Pattern_Spider has quit IRC: Connection reset by peer
[16:28] <~Anshu> Hmmm, point.
[16:29] <~Anshu> Salamander and her death are probably known, but not Anshu's role in causing it
[16:30] <Bright_Snow> -Poor poor Salamder
[16:31] <Bright_Snow> Salamander
[16:31] <Bright_Snow> Stupid keyboard
[16:31] <~Anshu> yeah =(
[16:31] *** Bright_Snow is now known as Virgil
[16:35] <~Anshu> I'll do the logs later
[16:35] <~Anshu> talk to you later
