Once More, With Feeling
Log 1.1
(12/09/09 12:56:18) Sunrunner: (Corvid Rasp) "We do throw rocks at each other."
(12/09/09 12:56:37) Andrensath: "There's a difference between an ordinary enemy and the Neverborn, Crow."
(12/09/09 12:56:37) Cowboy Energy: Crow touched the top of his hat and made a laughing sound in the bottom of his throat when he heard Nuwa's response.
(12/09/09 12:56:44) Cowboy Energy: "Ligier's brass balls. Well, there's that gone."
(12/09/09 12:57:04) Dakkareth: "I can understand Anshu. He wanted to make sure Salamander's soul wasn't endangered."
(12/09/09 12:57:23) Andrensath: Solitary arches an eyebrow. "I rather doubt Ligier has balls, brass or otherwise."
(12/09/09 12:57:51) Cowboy Energy: Crow rolled his eyes. "Look, is someone going to have to analyze every metaphor I make?"
(12/09/09 12:58:11) Sunrunner: (Corvid Rasp) *laughs*
(12/09/09 12:58:28) Cowboy Energy: "Yes, I'm sure he wanted to save her soul, but we could've used the chance to examine the essence flows and what-not, to make sure it didn't happen again."
(12/09/09 12:58:29) Myllinnia: Silveria chuckles and smiles at Solitary.
(12/09/09 12:58:32) Dakkareth: Nuwa smiles. "It seems likely."
(12/09/09 12:59:04) Taurus II: (("He looked at Anshu. "Anshu, next time you might want to keep a body around instead of just doing whatever it was you did."" Anshu's not here, he's off meditating))
(12/09/09 12:59:27) Taurus II: ((although someone could go get him if they wanted))
(12/09/09 13:00:05) Andrensath: Solitary smiles back at Silveria, taking her lover's hand. "Anyway, shall we get on from the debate about whether or not sending her soul to Lethe was a good idea?"
(12/09/09 13:00:27) Dakkareth: Nuwa nods. "Make sure it doesn't happen again. There must be some sort of defense, right?"
(12/09/09 13:00:46) Cowboy Energy: "We can only hope. I'm not a sorcerer, so others would know better then me."
(12/09/09 13:01:01) Andrensath: "Not contacting the Neverborn seems like an obvious enough one to me." Antonee points out.
(12/09/09 13:01:04) Taurus II: "If it'll help, I was with her when the change started to happen. Her tattoos turned black, like black glass, and she started to bleed from them," Dhiren offers.
(12/09/09 13:01:10) Cowboy Energy: "I just try to keep well clear of that stuff. You ever see a Nephwrack, you make sure you don't listen to what they say
(12/09/09 13:01:25) Cowboy Energy: or to what they say underneath what they say. The stuff that comes into your heart." He said, tapping his chest.
(12/09/09 13:02:22) Myllinnia: Silveria shivers both at the description of the Tattoo Failure and the Nephwrack talk.
(12/09/09 13:03:24) Dakkareth: "So we can recognize it when it happens, the question is what do we do? When we were Incanudian and there was an attack somehow channelled through the bond between Rowan and Cael, the only defense we could think of was shielding Rowan."
(12/09/09 13:03:53) Cowboy Energy: Crow grunted at Silveria's reaction adn tossed his spent cigarette into the fire, then kept looking into it. "We're fighting the Mask of Winters. We just blew up his favourite rat-hole."
(12/09/09 13:04:25) Cowboy Energy: "If that scares you, then you might want to just leave now. Cause it's going to get a lot worse. Much much worse."
(12/09/09 13:04:42) Cowboy Energy: "I made peace with that when that nephwrack killed my own family in the Marukan."
(12/09/09 13:05:04) Andrensath: Solitary pulls Silveria into her arms, glaring at Crow. "I'd be worried, too, if something could invert the very thing that's supposed to keep me safe."
(12/09/09 13:05:07) Cowboy Energy: (The Marukani live in teh Marukan, right? Don't have scavenger land on me right now.)
(12/09/09 13:05:16) Dakkareth: "But we will make it better," Nuwa says with quiet confidence.
(12/09/09 13:05:45) Cowboy Energy: "Good. Stay worried. That's how you stay focused. But if you can't stand hearing about these things, then you need to know that it's only the tip of the iceberg."
(12/09/09 13:06:23) Dakkareth: "Icebergs ... so the Neverborn would be the bottom half of the iceberg?"
(12/09/09 13:06:28) Cowboy Energy: He nodded at Solitary. "It's far crueler to let your lover think that everything is going to be stardust and rainbows and apple-blossoms when you KNOW it won't be."
(12/09/09 13:06:45) Cowboy Energy: "We will fix this, but we tread a very dangerous path."
(12/09/09 13:06:45) Andrensath: (Think so, yeah.) "The question is, how do we make it better?" Antonee asks.
(12/09/09 13:06:50) Andrensath: "Look, Crow, I'll thank you not to scare my lover unnecessarily."
(12/09/09 13:06:52) Taurus II: Dhiren frowns, thinking back. "I think Anshu said something about being able to control it now. We might not need to worry about it happening again."
(12/09/09 13:07:16) Cowboy Energy: "Anshu isn't the one with the tattoos." Crow muttered, poking at the campfire.
(12/09/09 13:07:20) Dakkareth: Nuwa frowns. "Controlling what exactly? He said something about death essence that worried me."
(12/09/09 13:07:20) Cowboy Energy: (with a stick, of course)
(12/09/09 13:08:03) Cowboy Energy: "What about that crazy bitch who tried to kill me when we first met. She said she worked with the Mask before." Crow asked.
(12/09/09 13:08:08) Cowboy Energy: "Could she know something?"
(12/09/09 13:08:32) Dakkareth: "But if the theory we have arrived at holds, then he was the path the attack took, the way they reached Salamander."
(12/09/09 13:08:38) Sunrunner: (Is Aesin in this grouping? Or outside it?)
(12/09/09 13:08:52) Cowboy Energy: (I'm not sure...is she?)
(12/09/09 13:09:11) Andrensath: (My assumption is that everyone in the Silveria/Solitary/etc ship is here)
(12/09/09 13:09:12) Cowboy Energy: (It's your call)
(12/09/09 13:09:13) Dakkareth: (she wasn't specifically invited, but ... it depends on where she was when the chimera thing happened)
(12/09/09 13:09:18) Myllinnia: (Should be? ^^) Silveria sighs and leans against Solitary, "Aesin? I...don't think so. She was merely a soldier under a Deathknight, no?"
(12/09/09 13:09:27) Taurus II: "Well, Oblivion and the Neverborn are the source of death essence, right? So if they're using Anshu as a conduit to put death essence into Creation, then he might be able to learn how to control where it goes."
(12/09/09 13:09:59) Cowboy Energy: Crow frowned. "That's dangerous. We should figure out a way to just stop it. Seal it away."
(12/09/09 13:10:17) Cowboy Energy: "It's not enough to just think you can control death essence."
(12/09/09 13:10:25) Dakkareth: "I think I will have to learn more about these things to properly understand what is going on ... the problem is, I think that's exactly what Anshu was trying to do as well. Only he chose the most direct path."
(12/09/09 13:10:46) Andrensath: "That's easy enough. Chuck the Neverborn into Oblivion. Poof, no more need to control death essence."
(12/09/09 13:10:58) Cowboy Energy: "Well, when we have the Mask by the throat, we'll make sure he tells us." He said, grinning in an unpleasant way.
(12/09/09 13:11:12) Dakkareth: "Maybe they can go to Lethe, too?"
(12/09/09 13:11:26) Andrensath: (Hmm. I notice Segev is no longer idle. Does someone want to invite him?)
(12/09/09 13:11:37) Cowboy Energy: (Segev has an AIM?)
(12/09/09 13:11:52) Taurus II: "Wait, Nuwa, you mean you think Anshu did that to Salamander on purpose?"
(12/09/09 13:11:55) Cowboy Energy: "I barely know what the Neverborn are. Except they're bad and they're in the Labyrinth."
(12/09/09 13:12:01) Andrensath: (As SegevStormlord, yeah.)
(12/09/09 13:12:09) Cowboy Energy: (mwahahahahaaa
(12/09/09 13:12:34) Cowboy Energy: "And I'd rather not go into the Labyrinth unless I had absolutely no choice. I've only been in the Underworld a few times in as many years."
(12/09/09 13:12:56) Andrensath: (Dude, don't be a dick.)
(12/09/09 13:13:01) Dakkareth: "No, no! Not on purpose."
(12/09/09 13:13:48) Cowboy Energy: (I'm never a dick.)
(12/09/09 13:13:53) Segev entered the room.
(12/09/09 13:14:04) Taurus II: ((Welcome, Segev.))
(12/09/09 13:14:14) Cowboy Energy: (Greetings)
(12/09/09 13:14:16) Segev: (Hi. Just lurking, sorry.)
(12/09/09 13:14:16) Andrensath: (Hi, Segev.)
(12/09/09 13:14:16) Dakkareth: "I think he wanted to learn more, in order to know what to do. And he ... well, he did not chose wisely in how to acquire such information."
(12/09/09 13:14:20) Myllinnia: (hi hi ^^)
(12/09/09 13:14:39) Sunrunner: (Corvid Rasp) "Mistakes happen."
(12/09/09 13:14:46) Cowboy Energy: "Pretty clear how unwise it would be. He could've become a spectre if he wasn't careful."
(12/09/09 13:15:10) Cowboy Energy: "How'd he like that. One minute he's a Solar, the lord of all Creation, the next he's just a hollow Nephwrack, another insane pawn."
(12/09/09 13:15:26) Dakkareth: Nuwa sighs. "In retrospect it is clearly a hasty and poorly chosen way, but hindsight is always clearer."
(12/09/09 13:15:29) Sunrunner: (Corvid Rasp) "I seem to recall a certain Lawgiver making quite a few mistakes of his own."
(12/09/09 13:15:55) Myllinnia: Silveria smirks, "But it is the mistakes that one survives that makes one stronger and wiser, no?"
(12/09/09 13:15:58) Cowboy Energy: "I was younger then...less patient. I remember a certain Steward having more then a few of his too."
(12/09/09 13:16:22) Andrensath: "We've all made mistakes. Some more obvious than others." Solitary says with a sigh, thinking back to her disastrous handling of Empress.
(12/09/09 13:16:39) Cowboy Energy: "My family died. I only had to care for myself. It's...different, when there are other's lives riding on you."
(12/09/09 13:17:23) Andrensath: "You can say that again."
(12/09/09 13:17:24) Dakkareth: "What matters is what we learn from our mistakes."
(12/09/09 13:18:12) Cowboy Energy: "In any case. I have something that can help us plot out our course much easier. I guess now is as good a time as any to show you."
(12/09/09 13:18:28) Cowboy Energy: *Crow reached into his jacket and took out a palm sized disk, laying it flat on the ground.*
(12/09/09 13:18:31) Myllinnia: Silveria pats Solitary on the leg with reassurance.
(12/09/09 13:18:39) Cowboy Energy: "I'm going to need about 20 minutes to attune this."
(12/09/09 13:18:52) Myllinnia: "Attune?" She sits up straighter.
(12/09/09 13:18:58) Cowboy Energy: (Can we skip forward 20 minutes? I'm attuning and activating the Map of Creation.)
(12/09/09 13:19:18) Andrensath: (Why wouldn't you just have attuned it along the way?)
(12/09/09 13:19:28) Cowboy Energy: (Because I hadn't thought of using it then.)
(12/09/09 13:19:47) Cowboy Energy: (And I don't always keep a map attuned. It's 10 motes to attune it, after all.)
(12/09/09 13:19:49) Sunrunner: (Because he, the player, appears to dislike attuning his artifacts. =p)
(12/09/09 13:20:24) Myllinnia: (Mote conservations XD)
(12/09/09 13:20:31) Andrensath: (Get a Skin Mount Amulet. Stick a decent Hearthstone into it. Get your 10 motes back.)
(12/09/09 13:20:31) Segev: (Looking in, this doesn't look like something Cael'd be involved in, anyway. If it's still going on when I get free, he might wander up and childishly ask what's up, though.)
(12/09/09 13:20:31) Dakkareth: (let's handwave that time away?)
(12/09/09 13:21:02) Cowboy Energy: (I'll think about it, when/if I get enough XP to get the charms I want, then the mutations, then maybe the skin mouth amulet.)
(12/09/09 13:21:09) Dakkareth: Nuwa looks at the disc curiously. "What is it?"
(12/09/09 13:21:19) Cowboy Energy: "It's a map of Creation. The entire world."
(12/09/09 13:21:37) Taurus II: "How old is it?"
(12/09/09 13:21:54) Sunrunner: (Corvid Rasp) "Very."
(12/09/09 13:21:57) Cowboy Energy: "Hell if I know exactly when, older then the Empress, at least."
(12/09/09 13:22:13) Dakkareth: "So it shows us how Creation was a thousand years ago?"
(12/09/09 13:22:21) Myllinnia: "Well that must be useful. How accurate is it then. Things would have changed back... uh when."
(12/09/09 13:22:52) Taurus II: "Creation was a lot bigger back then. Didn't a lot of it disappear back into the Wyld at the end of the Great Contagion?"
(12/09/09 13:23:24) Cowboy Energy: "Yup" Crow said casually
(12/09/09 13:23:57) Cowboy Energy: (And then 20 minutes passed *passpasspass*)
(12/09/09 13:24:36) Cowboy Energy: A 3 dimensional mass of pure free-floating colour-coded essence flowed out of the small disk, creating a map large enough for an entire auditorium to read.
(12/09/09 13:25:10) Myllinnia: "Oh... uh..." She looks about curiously.
(12/09/09 13:25:23) Cowboy Energy: Some of the locations and borders, particularily those in the Scavenger Lands and the Blessed Isle and some of the East, were up to date.
(12/09/09 13:25:37) Dakkareth: "Oh."
(12/09/09 13:25:39) Cowboy Energy: Others were still obviously archaic. The map itself was in Old Realm, though.
(12/09/09 13:26:00) Taurus II: "Wow..."
(12/09/09 13:26:01) Andrensath: "Interesting Artifact. Mind if I borrow it to try duplicating, after we're done here?"
(12/09/09 13:26:12) Andrensath: *Antonee asks
(12/09/09 13:26:22) Cowboy Energy: "I don't see any harm in that."
(12/09/09 13:26:51) Cowboy Energy: "You can modify locations, names, all that stuff. Any cartographer would sell me his left testicle to get his hands on this. Some have tried. Weird afternoon, that was."
(12/09/09 13:27:11) Dakkareth: (someone invite Lost_Arts - ZiyadAntarah )
(12/09/09 13:27:28) ZiyadAntarah entered the room.
(12/09/09 13:27:33) Dakkareth: (welcome)
(12/09/09 13:27:48) Lost Arts: Ok Now I'm just confused.
(12/09/09 13:27:53) Sunrunner: (Wee! *collects contact information*
(12/09/09 13:27:58) Cowboy Energy: (Same here)
(12/09/09 13:27:59) Taurus II: ((confused how?))
(12/09/09 13:28:12) Cowboy Energy: (I just activated a mask of creation. Yu-Shan gates, the whole works.)
(12/09/09 13:28:13) Lost Arts: (Well I've spent the last half hour fighting AIM)
(12/09/09 13:28:27) Lost Arts: (And according to Trillian I'm still not signed it)
(12/09/09 13:28:35) Cowboy Energy: "Anyway. We're right here." He pointed at a flashing sphere somewhere around the Scavenger Lands.
(12/09/09 13:28:36) Myllinnia: (How odd)
(12/09/09 13:28:38) Taurus II: ((Oh... yeah that is odd))
(12/09/09 13:28:47) Cowboy Energy: (that is weird...)
(12/09/09 13:28:54) Andrensath: (Weird. My client shows you as logged in to both MSN and AIM.)
(12/09/09 13:29:02) Cowboy Energy: (Same here)
(12/09/09 13:29:17) Sunrunner: (I have AIM, but no MSN.)
(12/09/09 13:29:17) Dakkareth: (yup)
(12/09/09 13:29:19) Lost Arts: (MSN definately but it keeps complaining about AIM)
(12/09/09 13:29:37) Myllinnia: Silveria nods as Crow explains
(12/09/09 13:29:41) Andrensath: (How odd)
(12/09/09 13:30:12) Dakkareth: "Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious ... how does that help us?"
(12/09/09 13:30:49) Cowboy Energy: "Because now we can figure out where we'll go and what we'll do, and not have to rely on possibly inaccurate maps and memory"
(12/09/09 13:30:58) Andrensath: "Makes sure we don't start heading in the wrong direction, I guess."
(12/09/09 13:31:16) Myllinnia: "Ah..."
(12/09/09 13:31:26) Dakkareth: "Ah. I thought you meant our course in the metaphorical sense."
(12/09/09 13:31:28) Taurus II: "Can it show us a smaller area? Could it help us explore the city?"
(12/09/09 13:31:35) Cowboy Energy: "and we can plot out the Mask's movements"
(12/09/09 13:31:42) Cowboy Energy: (Could it?)
(12/09/09 13:31:58) Andrensath: "Wait. I thought we'd agreed to go to Denandsor. Not somewhere else." (Don't see why not.)
(12/09/09 13:32:01) Cowboy Energy: (If it did, it would be exploring it as it was in the First Age, mind you)
(12/09/09 13:33:38) Taurus II: ((Yeah, but that'd still be helpful. Not like it's going to have changed all that much, being uninhabited and all))
(12/09/09 13:33:51) Lost Arts: "For the moment we go to Denandsor. Tomorrow we know not where we go"
(12/09/09 13:34:26) Sunrunner: (Corvid Rasp) "It is also his favorite toy to take out and play wiht."
(12/09/09 13:34:34) Andrensath: (Yeah.) "Tomorrow we'll *still* be going to Denandsor, Ziyad. We're not moving *that* fast, you know."
(12/09/09 13:34:35) Dakkareth: "Though we should think about that at some point."
(12/09/09 13:34:53) Dakkareth: "Where we will go after that, and what we will do, I mean."
(12/09/09 13:35:00) Taurus II: "I don't think he meant tomorrow literally."
(12/09/09 13:35:03) Cowboy Energy: (Alright then, let's take a look)
(12/09/09 13:35:39) Lost Arts: "I sometimes wonder Solitary Talon if you have any poetry in your soul." He scoffs slightly "Apparently not."
(12/09/09 13:35:40) Cowboy Energy: Crow made some hand motions along the map, flicking different archaic symbols that hadn't been seen for millenia, until it centred on what was still denandsor
(12/09/09 13:35:42) Dakkareth: Nuwa smiles. "Indeed. Dissecting metaphors is truly endemic among us."
(12/09/09 13:36:33) Cowboy Energy: Crow hummed to himself as it rushed in closer and closer downwards. Denandsor first looking like a dot, then expanding to look more like a city."
(12/09/09 13:36:35) Andrensath: (This is the problem with having two characters present. That was meant to be Antonee taking Ziyad's statement at face value.)
(12/09/09 13:36:36) Sunrunner: *as Crow tries to zoom Denandsor, various security question appear in blinking red script, obscuring the city*
(12/09/09 13:36:46) Lost Arts: (Yeah sorry)
(12/09/09 13:36:49) ***Andrensath is embarassed
(12/09/09 13:36:52) Lost Arts: (Scratch that then)
(12/09/09 13:37:10) Myllinnia: "Well it certainly didn't like that."
(12/09/09 13:37:23) Cowboy Energy: Crow grunted in irritation. "ugh, can't believe this shit." he mumbled under his breath.
(12/09/09 13:37:23) Cowboy Energy: (What exactly do they say?)
(12/09/09 13:37:23) Myllinnia: "Perhaps its broken, yes?"
(12/09/09 13:37:24) Dakkareth: "What is it?"
(12/09/09 13:37:25) Lost Arts: "I did not mean it literally, Starrc"
(12/09/09 13:37:57) Cowboy Energy: Crow shook his head. "No, it's not broken. It's functioning exactly as it should...unfortunately."
(12/09/09 13:38:04) Lost Arts: Ziyad leans in examining the script with great interest
(12/09/09 13:38:31) Cowboy Energy: (Sunrunner, what's it say?)
(12/09/09 13:38:33) Andrensath: (Don't worry about it. Just reminds me to demercate their speech more carefully. And for the record, his name is Antonee Starcc, in the western convention)
(12/09/09 13:38:41) Sunrunner: (Old Realm) "Please input your name, your title and your exaltation prior to gaining access to this information. This is a restricted zone. Authorized users only."
(12/09/09 13:39:16) Lost Arts: "Where do we enter this information?"
(12/09/09 13:39:24) Andrensath: (Well. Crap. Who wants first try?)
(12/09/09 13:39:37) Cowboy Energy: "Probably just talk to it."
(12/09/09 13:39:46) Myllinnia: "Or atleast protected." She sighs and sits back down.
(12/09/09 13:39:46) Sunrunner: (Corvid Rasp) Same way you update it, probably.
(12/09/09 13:40:31) Andrensath: (OK, here goes.)
(12/09/09 13:40:31) Cowboy Energy: Crow activated his anima and let the rays shine onto the essence display, his Solar-tinted motes interacting with the artifact.
(12/09/09 13:41:02) Andrensath: "Starcc Antonee, the Adamant Man, Solar Exalted of the Dawn Caste." Antonee activates his Caste mark.
(12/09/09 13:41:09) Cowboy Energy: "I am Invisible Crow Hunter, Solar Night Caste, the scourge of the Mask"
(12/09/09 13:42:12) Cowboy Energy: (Let's hope it doesn't read us both at once and think we're Invisible Crow Antonee :-D)
(12/09/09 13:42:20) Myllinnia: (lol)
(12/09/09 13:42:47) Andrensath: (Yeah, that would be bad. Hell, I hope one of us got the formula right, for that matter)
(12/09/09 13:42:51) Sunrunner: (Old Realm) Name unrecognized. Title unrecognized. Exaltation recognized. Unable to authorize. Please speak with the Deliberative to have this information registered.
(12/09/09 13:42:52) Dakkareth: (that would be poor manufacture ... and the First Age just doesn't do that)
(12/09/09 13:43:13) Cowboy Energy: (The Scourge of Adamant)
(12/09/09 13:43:22) Myllinnia: (Ooh needs I AM. XD Darn DiliberativeSoft!)
(12/09/09 13:43:25) Andrensath: (How did I know it was going to do that?)
(12/09/09 13:43:39) ***Andrensath snickers at Myll's comment
(12/09/09 13:43:42) Taurus II: ((Idea... Dhiren still has at least one of his past lives left to specify...))
(12/09/09 13:43:46) Dakkareth: Nuwa looks at Dhiren. "You said you remember much about your predecessors. Do you know anything about things like this? Titles and codes?"
(12/09/09 13:43:48) Cowboy Energy: (Where's your First Age Lunar, Andrensath? Now would be a good time for him to show up : P)
(12/09/09 13:44:34) Andrensath: (He was heading to Denandsor with his mate. But we can change that, if Sunrunner's okay with him showing up early.)
(12/09/09 13:44:50) Lost Arts: (I was going to suggest suggesting a past life)
(12/09/09 13:44:57) Lost Arts: (Beaten too it)
(12/09/09 13:45:12) Cowboy Energy: (I am...Rubber Buggy Baby Bumpers)
(12/09/09 13:45:20) Taurus II: (Sunrunner, would that be acceptable to you?))
(12/09/09 13:46:03) Sunrunner: ( I wouldn't mind if it shows up early. Giving y'all a reason to trust him may be a concern though. )
(12/09/09 13:46:32) Cowboy Energy: (Hey, he came to us)
(12/09/09 13:46:45) Cowboy Energy: (Andrensath, you'll be playing 3 people at once. May god have mercy on your sanity)
(12/09/09 13:46:46) Lost Arts: (Doesn't mean we should trust him)
(12/09/09 13:46:55) Andrensath: (Well, he's a Rep 5, Backing 6 Sun King Seneschal. Li should have heard of him at the very least.)
(12/09/09 13:47:02) Cowboy Energy: (And Corvid)
(12/09/09 13:47:16) Cowboy Energy: (Even if he's not in the Pact anymore, you'd hear about someone THAT legendary)
(12/09/09 13:48:00) Taurus II: (I was referring to Dhiren remembering an applicable past life, Sunrunner)
(12/09/09 13:48:36) Sunrunner: (Oh. That'd work too. Sorry. Managing my kids while they make their dinners.)
(12/09/09 13:49:02) Taurus II: ((No problem)
(12/09/09 13:49:17) Taurus II: ((lemme just make one up ^_^))
(12/09/09 13:49:42) Cowboy Energy: (Jepeardy soundtrack)
(12/09/09 13:50:26) Taurus II: :P
(12/09/09 13:51:02) ***Andrensath has no clue what you're referring to.
(12/09/09 13:51:28) Lost Arts: (Its an American gameshow I believe)
(12/09/09 13:51:55) Cowboy Energy: (yeah, it's a quiz show, with a very memorable jingle for the last segment where they have to write down their answers)
(12/09/09 13:52:48) Cowboy Energy: (it's like dooo do do dodo do do dooo, do do do do do! duh do do do do)
(12/09/09 13:53:30) Lost Arts: (I believe a suitable analogue would be Countdown, if you get that down in Kiwi land)
(12/09/09 13:54:19) Andrensath: (Don't think so. Last quiz show I remember us getting was Who Wants to be a Millionaire)
(12/09/09 13:54:54) Cowboy Energy: (Well then youtube it or whatever)
(12/09/09 13:55:45) Lost Arts: (Or watch White Men Can't Jump)
(12/09/09 13:56:08) Andrensath: (Hell with that. I'm not youtubing anything on dial-up speeds. Stupid fucking data cap.)
(12/09/09 13:56:50) Cowboy Energy: (I feel your pain)
(12/09/09 13:57:24) Andrensath: (So, anyway, which plan are we going with, the First Age Lunar showing up, or Dhiren's Past Life?)
(12/09/09 13:57:37) Lost Arts: (Dhiren's past life, I think)
(12/09/09 13:57:46) Taurus II: Dhiren leans forward. "Kaushal Tahmores, Assistant Chief Artisan-Sorcerer of Denandsor and Two-Time Winner of the Denandsor Celestial Craftsmanship Competition, No Moon Lunar."
(12/09/09 13:57:56) Lost Arts: (Feels a little unfair on the other Newguys otherwise)
(12/09/09 13:58:16) Andrensath: (Yeah, true.)
(12/09/09 13:59:30) Sunrunner: (Old Realm) Name recognized. Titles recognized. Exaltation Recognized. Access permission granted. *the text turns a lovely shade of gold, then fades away allow you to view the city*
(12/09/09 13:59:54) Dakkareth: Nuwa looks impressed.
(12/09/09 14:00:07) Myllinnia: Silveria blinks in awe, "That's impressive Dhiren."
(12/09/09 14:00:34) Andrensath: "Nice."
(12/09/09 14:00:35) Lost Arts: Ziyad gives an impressed glance towards Dhiren
(12/09/09 14:02:30) Taurus II: Dhiren looks embarrassed. "It's not anything I did. It's just that I can remember this stuff for some reason."
(12/09/09 14:02:36) Lost Arts: "I'd suggest getting it to highlight important manses"
(12/09/09 14:02:36) Cowboy Energy: Crow nods. "Nice one."
(12/09/09 14:03:00) Cowboy Energy: Crow makes a few waves and mudras along the map, and does so.
(12/09/09 14:03:12) Lost Arts: With a grin, "And not just so I can claim one for myself"
(12/09/09 14:04:35) Andrensath: "I'd suggest splitting the Manses as evenly as possible, in terms of power level." Antonee says. "That way none of the circle feels like they're missing out."
(12/09/09 14:04:44) Cowboy Energy: Crow frowns as he sees the security golems frozen along the streets. "We should probably see if we can learn anything about those."
(12/09/09 14:05:26) Taurus II: "Is it showing us the city as it is currently, or as it was?"
(12/09/09 14:05:29) Lost Arts: "Some of us though don't possess manses yet. While some of us do."
(12/09/09 14:05:46) Cowboy Energy: "As it was in the First Age, of course. It can't see through time."
(12/09/09 14:05:47) Lost Arts: "I would hope that is taken into consideration"
(12/09/09 14:06:11) Myllinnia: Silveria nods with Ziyad.
(12/09/09 14:06:45) Lost Arts: (As though I have a Demanse unless this game goes on for years I am never going to get any use out of it)
(12/09/09 14:06:45) Cowboy Energy: "Alright. So what kind of manses do we have here?"
(12/09/09 14:06:54) Cowboy Energy: (I've got a level 5 Solar Manse...somewhere.)
(12/09/09 14:07:20) Dakkareth: "What then do we hope to achieve here? Besides finding manses."
(12/09/09 14:07:24) Andrensath: "Yes, well, I don't think those of us with Manses in Great Forks will be getting to keep the Hearthstones much longer." (I was going to suggest just having them exchanged for ones in Denandsor with the same Hearthstone.)
(12/09/09 14:07:43) Lost Arts: "I would imagine that the city remains much the same as the First Age. After all the city has been empty since the contaign."
(12/09/09 14:07:43) Cowboy Energy: (What've we got there, Sunrunner?)
(12/09/09 14:08:05) Cowboy Energy: "It's more then just manses. Even without anyone entering it in thousands of years, the legends of the technology and shops and wonders inside still filter through the streets of Creation.
(12/09/09 14:08:06) Lost Arts: "I doubt the dragonblooded did much except restyle it and re-aspect things where it proved valuable"
(12/09/09 14:08:32) Cowboy Energy: (Can it analyze the manses?)
(12/09/09 14:08:54) Lost Arts: "The manses no doubt control the city defences. Defences we will need to maintain control of the city. Best to seize them early and decisively."
(12/09/09 14:09:25) Sunrunner: (To a point. None of them will be accurate except the basic five elemental ones. Any solar, lunar or sidereal manses would have had their aspects shifted.)
(12/09/09 14:09:46) Cowboy Energy: (can they give us their function?)
(12/09/09 14:10:01) Sunrunner: (That wouldn't be marked on a general use map.)
(12/09/09 14:10:03) Lost Arts: (Only if it proved more useful for the Dragonblooded in question. Some Upgrades only function on Celestial Manses, thus I expect they would keep them)
(12/09/09 14:10:05) Dakkareth: "What about ..." Nuwa seems a bit embarrassed to be asking. "The city is said to be cursed ..."
(12/09/09 14:10:08) Andrensath: (Why would they bother changing Sid-aspected manses?)
(12/09/09 14:10:34) Cowboy Energy: (The Sid manses would probably be covered by the Five score Fellowship, anyway)
(12/09/09 14:10:49) Lost Arts: (Yeah so best to claim them now)
(12/09/09 14:10:55) Cowboy Energy: (Errr...or would have been.)
(12/09/09 14:11:04) Andrensath: (Well, the Bronze Faction, more likely.)
(12/09/09 14:11:17) Lost Arts: (There dead. Ours now.)
(12/09/09 14:11:17) Myllinnia: (Well once shifted I assume they can be reshifted)
(12/09/09 14:11:17) Cowboy Energy: (Yeah, I know)
(12/09/09 14:11:23) Andrensath: (Bloody Chipshop.)
(12/09/09 14:11:37) Cowboy Energy: (Anyway, the important thing is figuring out key locations
(12/09/09 14:11:46) Cowboy Energy: (What are some key landmarks of the city, besides manses?)
(12/09/09 14:12:09) Sunrunner: (You all can see the map of the city as well as I can, if you've the Scavenger Lands book.)
(12/09/09 14:12:48) Andrensath: (Troop barracks, I AM base site, mote power plants. I'm sure we can come up with other stuff.)
(12/09/09 14:13:18) Cowboy Energy: (Hmmm...any tunnels that we could enter the city through?)
(12/09/09 14:13:20) Sunrunner: (I leave it to your collective imaginations, as my mind is coming up blank.)
(12/09/09 14:13:56) Cowboy Energy: (Alright then, there is. That would be helpful, since at least it'll keep us from getting immediately hit by robots)
(12/09/09 14:14:29) Sunrunner: (A tunnel from where to where?)
(12/09/09 14:15:10) Andrensath: (Somewhere outside the city to the best Manse, I would suggest.)
(12/09/09 14:15:10) Cowboy Energy: (Just any kind of underground entrance to the interior to Denandsor. It won't help against EVIL-FOG 2000, but at least we won't get a bending from the robots...immediately)
(12/09/09 14:15:28) Cowboy Energy: (Or even better, a tunnel to the place that's creating the fog? :3)
(12/09/09 14:15:39) Myllinnia: (too easy XD)
(12/09/09 14:15:46) Lost Arts: (That would likely be near the most important Manse
(12/09/09 14:15:46) Sunrunner: (I will veto that, CE. Way too easy.
(12/09/09 14:15:59) Lost Arts: I assume the most important manse in the city is the Vault
(12/09/09 14:16:41) Cowboy Energy: (Yeah. That's why I tried to use the kitty-face to fog your mind)
(12/09/09 14:17:30) Cowboy Energy: (Well, how about somewhere relatively close to the Vault, and one that
(12/09/09 14:17:51) Cowboy Energy: *that's insulated against the mist, so we don't need to worry about that until we got into the streets?)
(12/09/09 14:17:55) Cowboy Energy: (Maybe a sewer system?)
(12/09/09 14:18:17) Cowboy Energy: (You gotta have a sewer level, after all)
(12/09/09 14:18:25) Sunrunner: (There is nothing that insulates agains the radiant essence effect.)
(12/09/09 14:18:38) Cowboy Energy: Well that sucks.
(12/09/09 14:18:50) Sunrunner: If there was, then someone would have used it already.
(12/09/09 14:19:07) Cowboy Energy: (Hrmmm...Then whatever, just something that can get us into the interior of the city without being swarmed by robots. Okay?)
(12/09/09 14:19:28) Sunrunner: Sure. So you can be swarmed by robots in the central portion of the city.
(12/09/09 14:19:33) Lost Arts: (Who can currently cope with the Miasma?)
(12/09/09 14:19:44) Andrensath: (Anyone with THM can.)
(12/09/09 14:19:50) Dakkareth: (does elusive dream defense do anything?)
(12/09/09 14:19:52) Cowboy Energy: (Whatevah, it's better then being swarmed in both the centre and outer portions of the city)
(12/09/09 14:20:04) Lost Arts: (Yeah I was asking which of us possess that, not what the rules were)
(12/09/09 14:20:04) Dakkareth: (also, any reply to Nuwa's ic question?)
(12/09/09 14:20:05) Cowboy Energy: (No, it parries, not dodges)
(12/09/09 14:20:19) Dakkareth: (perfectly though)
(12/09/09 14:20:28) Cowboy Energy: (Well then that's up to SC)
(12/09/09 14:20:35) Cowboy Energy: (SR)
(12/09/09 14:20:48) Andrensath: (Um. What was Nuwa's IC question again?)
(12/09/09 14:21:10) Sunrunner: (Elusive Dream defense is not marked as a valid defense against the fear effect. Thereby, I would have to assume it is ineffective as two other related charms were listed as effective.)
(12/09/09 14:21:22) Andrensath: (Also, I know Antonee possesses THM. I'm not sure if anyone else does, though.)
(12/09/09 14:21:36) Dakkareth: ([04:10:52] DakkReborn: "What about ..." Nuwa seems a bit embarrassed to be asking. "The city is said to be cursed ...")
(12/09/09 14:21:38) Cowboy Energy: (Well, that would work nicely)
(12/09/09 14:21:39) Lost Arts: (I got it)
(12/09/09 14:21:47) Sunrunner: (Corvid Rasp) "The city is cursed."
(12/09/09 14:21:56) Cowboy Energy: (He knows Solar Circle Countermagic. He could run in and deactivate the fog)
(12/09/09 14:22:02) Cowboy Energy: (errrr...fly in)
(12/09/09 14:22:08) Andrensath: "Cursed how?" Solitary asks.
(12/09/09 14:22:12) Dakkareth: (if he knows to do that)
(12/09/09 14:22:24) Lost Arts: (Which of course he doesn't)
