[[Chancel_Amyra]]<br> [[Amyra:Chapter_11|Chapter 11]] <br><br> * Random_Nerd uses dark and unhallowed arts of summoning, channeled through the pacts made by his outside-of-reality alter-ego, to summon a dread Knockwood.<br> lazarus: ...<br> lazarus: fizzled.<br> lazarus: what kind of Hollyhock God /are/ you, if you can't even summon a dire player?!<br> Random_Nerd: Maybe he's invisible!<br> Random_Nerd: You don't know, do you?<br> Random_Nerd: I could have a deadly invisible Knockwood behind you /right now/.<br> * lazarus nukes the site from orbit<br> lazarus: .... nope, no deadly invisible Kwd.<br> Random_Nerd: He parried.<br> BethE: Oh, no, he's going to pull out the unicorn...<br> lazarus: last I checked, he isn't a Solar?<br> BethE: I had a limit break on a nonExalted character last night...and no one pretty much cared. :P<br> lazarus: :p<br> lazarus: WotG?<br> BethE: No, Angel/Buffy.<br> BethE: My mad scientist went nuclear...so to speak.<br> lazarus: ah<br> lazarus: less fun than WotG limit breaks :p<br> Random_Nerd: I'm starting to think that the invisible Knockwood doesn't actually exist.<br> lazarus: one of the best scenes to come out of my WotG game (don't remember the context): "hello *whap*"<br> BethE: I'm going to be playing a Hellcat in an upcoming temp game. I have the sudden urge to add to her character sheet: "In ur Chi, stealing ur Weapons..."<br> lazarus: somehow, Shen (the, well, Dumb As Bricks stone column wielder) got into his mind that hitting people was a greeting in the area.<br> BethE: Huh.<br> Random_Nerd: And the traditional goodbye is a coup-de-grace while they're knocked out?<br> lazarus: :p<br> BethE: Kinda like how the main character in my Buffy game's response to magic is to freak and weild a spatula.<br> BethE: wield even<br> lazarus: :)<br> Random_Nerd: The spatuala is only sometimes employed against magic.<br> Random_Nerd: His main weapon against magic is a good line of BS, I think.<br> BethE: Oh, _good_ lines. Sorry.<br> Random_Nerd: Sadly, a war of words often goes to the guy who can use /his/ words to set you on fire.<br> BethE: You haven't met him yet. You just got spell-zapped by a woman who you thought you might feel up. And at times, I thought Ella's spell was overpowered.<br> lazarus: ...<br> BethE: His character can be lead by the hormones at times. :) This is the first time that a bad guy got the jump on him (*cough*) though.<br> lazarus: ...<br> Random_Nerd: Except for when Drusilla put the mind-whammy on him?<br> Random_Nerd: Twice?<br> *** Knockwood has joined #nobilis.<br> lazarus: you guys had Dru?<br> lazarus: *shock*<br> BethE: Oh, yeah.<br> Random_Nerd: The invisible Knockwood does exist!<br> lazarus: hey kwd!<br> Knockwood: Hi guys...<br> BethE: Hi Knock. *HUG*<br> lazarus: no, visible kwd exists<br> Random_Nerd: Well, he's visible /now/.<br> Random_Nerd: Obviously.<br> Knockwood: had kind of a bad day<br> Random_Nerd: Oh? I'm sorry to hear that.<br> BethE: Sorry to hear that too. Do you still want to play? It's understandable if you don't. *HUG*<br> Knockwood: Boss hits me with "Oh, before you go home, here's this, this, this, thisthisthisthis......"<br> Knockwood: which is why I'm late<br> lazarus: erg.<br> BethE: Urk.<br> Knockwood: dyne.<br> Random_Nerd: Yaarg.<br> Knockwood: so we're pirates now?<br> lazarus: Yarr!<br> Random_Nerd: Arr?<br> Random_Nerd: Ahoy!<br> *** Mode change "+o Knockwood" for channel #nobilis by lazarus.<br> Knockwood: so, how you guys doing?<br> lazarus: better this week.<br> Random_Nerd: Oh, I had a question. Would thursday night, instead of wednesday, work for you for the game?<br> Knockwood: my schedule's open...<br> Random_Nerd: Ah. Because there's a pretty good chance that we'd be able to have Sara back, and she says that her boyfriend is somewhat interested in joining as well.<br> Knockwood: nice<br> BethE: She says he can be verbose.<br> lazarus: I've missed Snow.<br> Random_Nerd: So, shall we try for a thursday game next week?<br> lazarus: can do, I suppose.<br> Knockwood: sure<br> BethE: Sorry, a bit out of it at the moment, but sure, Thursday works for me.<br> lazarus: (afk)<br> Random_Nerd: And should we try to have a session now?<br> lazarus: (back)<br> Knockwood: hm...<br> lazarus: has UF been read yet?<br> Knockwood: question: How would you get Snow to us IC?<br> lazarus: kwd: an Imperator did it.<br> Knockwood: still reading<br> Knockwood: well, the most logical entrance would be 'glomped on to Jim', really... :)<br> lazarus: :)<br> lazarus: Snow really was one of our best characters.<br> BethE: Or for some reason she's inside the car when we get back in.<br> Random_Nerd: Really, with Snow, it's easy.<br> lazarus: it can always go unexplained.<br> Random_Nerd: I'd just have you guys randomly walk past her, once you go back outdoors.<br> Knockwood: then there's the possible new character<br> lazarus: unfortunately, she doesn't have Perfect Timing herself, but we've got a lot of strange unexplained occurances :p<br> BethE: I don't look forward to the giant's reaction to her.<br> Random_Nerd: Honestly, to get the party back together, I'd be tempted to resort to It's Magic A Wizard Did it.<br> BethE: Plus, she's Caprious! She has a whim that she wants to see us, she sees us!<br> Knockwood: How tall is the giant?<br> Random_Nerd: Ten, twelve feet.<br> Random_Nerd: And pretty much normal human proportions for his height.<br> Random_Nerd: A hair on the stocky side, but not hugely.<br> Knockwood: hm... Snow's favorite polar bear form, standing on her hind legs, is ... how tall?<br> Random_Nerd: Beats me. I don't know bears.<br> Knockwood: do we have time to do anything now?<br> Random_Nerd: Well, enough to do some. Probably not to do a lot.<br> lazarus: I honestly don't remember where we were in the story at this point x_x<br> Random_Nerd: You'd spent the last active session interrogating the giant.<br> BethE: I'm rather fuzzy at the moment, but if we try something, I'll do my best.<br> Random_Nerd: Before that, there was violence and melty-cultist.<br> BethE: I think that Dante said that we would go and find the dastard that took Weapons from the giant's Imperator-father and strode manfully for the door.<br> Knockwood: the session ended with the gant talking to Azazel via dead goat, then I basically promised we'd go after the bad guys<br> Knockwood: We first need to talk to the remaining cultists<br> Random_Nerd: They're mostly in the fetal position at the moment.<br> lazarus: they would be<br> Knockwood: well, they probably have ritual implements handed down from when the cult started<br> Random_Nerd: Their mental state is about what you would expect if you were at a keg party and it got busted by Batman, who then proceeded to have a shouting match with the Devil over the status of Hitler's Brain.<br> Random_Nerd: Most of their tools looked more improvised than ancient.<br> Knockwood: most?<br> Random_Nerd: Kitchen knives, rather than athames.<br> Random_Nerd: Well, there was the brick kiln, which most people don't have lying around.<br> Random_Nerd: And the chains were pretty thick and rusty.<br> Random_Nerd: Let's see... they had pointy iron rods they were poking the giant with.<br> Random_Nerd: Those could go either way, I suppose.<br> BethE: Hmm, could we give Jim some kind of brick-tracking device and have him collect all of the bloodbricks.<br> Knockwood: can I get anything off the pointy rods with a Div-Blades, or are they too far away?<br> Random_Nerd: Hmm. I didn't think that you counted things that were pointy but not sharp as Blades.<br> Knockwood: nuts<br> Random_Nerd: But if you think they count, I imagine you could try.<br> Random_Nerd: It's your estate, and I could see it going either way.<br> Knockwood: well, there's always the bee stingers<br> Random_Nerd: ...?<br> Knockwood: remember, you had me find the mutant bees with a Div-Blades<br> Knockwood: last time we were in town<br> BethE: (A minion of Theresa - (Link: http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/funny-pictures-tree-eats-motorcycle.jpg)http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/funny-pictures-tree-eats-motorcycle.jpg )<br> Random_Nerd: Oh, true. Okay, that's a valid precedent.<br> Knockwood: OK, then I'll see what I can get with a Div-Blades off those rods<br> Random_Nerd: Should we switch to In-Character, then?<br> *** You are now known as Theresa.<br> *** Knockwood is now known as DanteE.<br> *** lazarus is now known as Brian.<br> *** Brian is now known as Brian_.<br> Brian_: (apparently nick "Brian" has been registered recently :( I'll need to figure something out)<br> Random_Nerd: ________START_____________<br> DanteE: (whoops)<br> Random_Nerd: Cultists huddle. Giant stomps around restlessly.,,,<br> Random_Nerd: (What?)<br> DanteE: (Brian's nick thing)<br> Random_Nerd: Pointy metal rods are pointy. And made of metal. And, uh, rods.<br> Random_Nerd: Also, bloodstained, and somewhat rusty.<br> DanteE: (That is SO going in the Quote Page...)<br> DanteE: (How old are they?_<br> Random_Nerd: (Using a divination or eyesight to tell?)<br> DanteE: (part of the Div)<br> Random_Nerd: (They're about six months old, in their current shape.)<br> DanteE: (...what were they before then?)<br> Random_Nerd: (Before that, they were part of an old truck. They were created through every part of the truck that wasn't shaped like a pointy stick suddenly ceasing to exist.)<br> DanteE: (...miraculously?)<br> Brian_: (explosion?)<br> Random_Nerd: (Certainly seems like a miracle, yes.)<br> DanteE: to the cultists who were wielding them: "Where did you get these?"<br> Theresa: (Sounds like a Lesser Change.)<br> Random_Nerd: Giant: "It's been a long time since I've been out of here, and I haven't seen the sky in some time. What... phase is the moon in?"<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist Who Seems Less Catatonic Than Some Of Them: "They were just here when you told... when someone told us to come here. Right next to the giant."<br> DanteE: (or an LDest... except that it'd be the opposite of a Blades miracle)<br> Random_Nerd: (Lesser Destruction Of Trucks!)<br> Random_Nerd: (Clearly, Larry Truck's-Regal is your enemy!)<br> DanteE: to the others: "Someone eliminated every part of a truck that _wasn't_ a pointed stick."<br> * Theresa tells him what pahse the moon is in, even though it's daylight still.<br> DanteE: (afk a minute...)<br> Random_Nerd: (It's nearly full, incidentially, since it's early march of 2007.)<br> Theresa: (Great, now I'm imagining the Noble that drawls "Getterdun...")<br> Random_Nerd: Giant: "Figures."<br> Theresa: "Oh?"<br> Random_Nerd: Giant: "The moon doesn't like me, so I try to avoid it."<br> Random_Nerd: William assumes his mental note-taking expression.<br> Theresa: "Ah. If you wish, we could provide you with a guise."<br> DanteE: (bak)<br> Random_Nerd: Giant: "One that could fool the moon? I've had sporadic luck at best at that."<br> Random_Nerd: William: "That destruction thing. That sounds like an Excrucian trick. A Strategist trick."<br> DanteE: (what's he wearing?_<br> Random_Nerd: (The giant?)<br> DanteE: (yeah)<br> Random_Nerd: (Dense body hair, encrusted blood, and some rags in the vague shape of pants.)<br> DanteE: (That's a little attention-getting.)<br> Theresa: *to William* "What kind of trick? Convincing the rest of it that it doesn't exist?"<br> * DanteE grabs a couple cultist robes<br> Random_Nerd: William: "No, removing things. That's one of the three ways we know of to spot Strategists."<br> Theresa: "Hmm...true that one that invaded home did remove John's voicebox. Well, destroyed it..."<br> Random_Nerd: (The robes show the telltale signs of being made out of bedsheets, with a sewing machine, by someone who thinks that cultists should have robes.)<br> DanteE: "Here."<br> * DanteE throws the 'robes' over the giant's shoulders.<br> DanteE: "... act like a bed"<br> Random_Nerd: Sam: "I still can't imagine having to use things made of meat to talk with. I mean, speech is air vibrations. Meat is meat."<br> Brian_: "..."<br> Theresa: "We are a weird and wacky group of creatures, Sam."<br> Brian_: "What prompted that?"<br> Random_Nerd: The giant rips the fronts of the robes open, and makes two vague flappy things from them, putting one over each shoulder.<br> Theresa: (The comment on John's voicebox.)<br> Random_Nerd: Sam: "The voicebox thing. Voiceboxes are weird."<br> Brian_: (ah)<br> Random_Nerd: S: "First time I heard one described, I felt sure it was a joke."<br> Brian_: "They're just devices to create vibrations"<br> Brian_: "Surely you have some similar construct, if not made of, well, stuff that rubs together"<br> Random_Nerd: S: "Yeah, but... what would you think if I told you that I had a special kind of air swirl that I use to make sausages?"<br> Brian_: "I would say that would be really cool and neat"<br> Random_Nerd: S: "I'm made of motion. I don't need some special part of me to wigggle air."<br> Brian_: "That ... is a point."<br> Theresa: "Wiggle and sausages are for a different conversation. So, where to first, Dante?"<br> Random_Nerd: W: "I hope that none of you will think less of my composure if I mention that I feel a sudden urge for eggs and sausages. Or bacon."<br> DanteE: (and one not to have in public... :) )<br> Random_Nerd: Giant: "Mmm. Bacon."<br> Brian_: "How do you learn to speak, by the way? ... I guess we don't really need to figure out how to control our voiceboxes, so I suppose it's just a little figuring out how to make the sounds?"<br> Brian_: "Also, I could so go for bacon. I think there's a Denny's nearby..."<br> Random_Nerd: The Slightly Less Catatonic cultist opens his mouth as if to bond with the giant over a shared love of bacon, and then closes it without a word.<br> Random_Nerd: S: "How to speak at all, or how to talk your language?"<br> Brian_: "Well, either. Mostly how to speak any language."<br> Brian_: "I admit to being quite curious as to your culture and so on"<br> Random_Nerd: S: "Well, I mean, I learned to talk from my parents... sort of. Rather, I knew how to talk because both of them did, so of course I did too."<br> DanteE: "Next step is to locate the bad guys.<br> DanteE: "Or find out what they're doing...<br> Brian_: "Best done ruminating over bacon at Denny's."<br> Random_Nerd: S: "I was mostly a member of a midsized Domination sect with a shared worldsight that looks a bit like your prosaic world."<br> DanteE: to cultist: "You. What were you doing with the bricks you were making?<br> Brian_: (... remind me what Domination is?)<br> Theresa: *to Sam* "Does that help with living with only our two sets of worlds?"<br> DanteE: (at least $500 at the BunnyRanch... :) )<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "Tossing them out around town. We... didn't really know what to do with them exactly, just that we were supposed to spread them around."<br> Theresa: *to Cultist* "Why? Were they to do something?"<br> Random_Nerd: (Dominations are the Dionyl Nobles who favor eveyone sharing the same perceptual universe.)<br> * DanteE grabs a map of town.<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "I don't know! I thought so. They were supposed to do something big and important that /made perfect sense at the time/. Something about cities."<br> Brian_: (and the other was ... "Splintering"?)<br> DanteE: "Mark everywhere you and your friends threw a brick."<br> Random_Nerd: (Splinters for the Imperators of it, or Splintering for the philosophy.)<br> Brian_: (*nods*)<br> Random_Nerd: The cultist looks at the map, and starts marking in most of the residential parts of town.<br> Random_Nerd: (In this context, a Domination sect is a group, probably organized around a few nobles, that all share the same worldview and try to impress it on those outside their borders.)<br> Brian_: (... damn my mathematical function-less domain)<br> Random_Nerd: (Mmm?)<br> Brian_: (I would love to be able to find out f(x) where f(x) = location on map for the brick :p)<br> Random_Nerd: (Well, it's too messy for that anyway. It looks like they just drove to where there were houses and tossed some bricks out.)<br> DanteE: to Theresa: "Want to bet the shape those Xs match where our miracles go wonky?"<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "By the way... where are the other two?"<br> Theresa: "Which two?"<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "The Lady of Whims and the Lord of Cities."<br> Random_Nerd: Sam, to Theresa: "Oh, and yes, it helps. I don't think I'd even be able to understand human culture if I didn't have a worldsight that at least largely matched yours."<br> * Theresa eyebrows at Dante and Brian. "Aren't they missing one?"<br> Brian_: (to the others, through the RH stuff) "ok, that we /know/ includes some foresight"<br> Random_Nerd: W: "Honestly, Samuel, I'm not always sure you do understand it."<br> DanteE: to Theresa : "Snow and James"<br> Theresa: "_Yes_, but we have another sister, remember? Why wasn't she part of the maskerade?"<br> Brian_: (...? have I forgotten someone?)<br> Random_Nerd: (Carrie.)<br> DanteE: (Hope)<br> Brian_: (ah, yes)<br> Brian_: (I ... am shamed0<br> Random_Nerd: "Cultist: "Who? Trees, Cities, Blades, Whims, Numbers..."<br> Brian_: (I sorta forgot she wasn't with us x_x)<br> Theresa: (Hope? About yay tall, turns Dark at times, American accent? :) )<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "Is there another one?"<br> Random_Nerd: Sam: "I have no idea what this means, but I just got a chill."<br> Brian_: "If human superstition is to be believed, a ghost just walked through you"<br> Random_Nerd: Sam jumps back.<br> Theresa: *eyeballs the Cultist* "Those aren't exactly us, though... At least three of those are only close..."<br> Random_Nerd: S: "It did?"<br> Brian_: "That depends on believing in ghosts."<br> Brian_: "Of course, other superstitions posit that it's the walking over a grave that causes the chill"<br> Brian_: "Others still narrow that down to the grave of a loved one, or of an angry ghost"<br> Random_Nerd: S: "...you're just messing with me now, right?"<br> Random_Nerd: W: "No, those are all well attested in folklore."<br> Brian_: "... not really."<br> Random_Nerd: S: "Note to self. Study earlier centuries of humanity."<br> Theresa: "We have done some nifty stuff before the creation of Star Trek."<br> Random_Nerd: (Now I have a mental image of Sam going around with a sword and a hat with a feather in it, and challenging people to duels over minor insults.)<br> Brian_: (hee. He needs a long prosthetic nose, though)<br> Theresa: *to Dante and Brian* "I don't know why he has you two exactly but the rest of us...something to ponder later. But yeah, the lack of a Noble makes it even more suspicious. And the fact that they had an extra that we didn't know of until rather recently..."<br> Random_Nerd: (And then he can go to the moon!)<br> Brian_: "T, I will point out that he doesn't have Dante exactly."<br> Brian_: "He called him Blades."<br> Random_Nerd: (Yeah, he seemed to have no idea about Courage.)<br> DanteE: "That's true..."<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "Did I do something wrong?"<br> Brian_: "Not really."<br> Theresa: "If I run into a xerox-slightly-off copy of myself, I'm going to be ticked."<br> Brian_: "You ... possibly helped a lot"<br> * DanteE checks the map<br> Theresa: *to cultist* "How often do you have these dreams and does everyone have them or just specific people of the group?"<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "We all had at least one, or we wouldn't be here."<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "No, that's not quite right. Jim's girlfriend, the one with the name I can never remember, joined up too."<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "But most of us never had more than a couple, and the first one was always the same."<br> Brian_: (anchor) "Query: Jim, you have a girlfriend? Can we meet her?"<br> Random_Nerd: Jim: "No, I don't, why? Do you want me to get one?"<br> Brian_: (likely me making a leap from mention of "Jim" :p)<br> Brian_: (anchor) "You should some day. Did you have one recently?"<br> Random_Nerd: Jim: "Uh, I haven't had a steady girlfriend since I was an undergrad."<br> Brian_: (A) "Do you remember anything about her?"<br> Theresa: "Can you tell me about the first dream again?"<br> Random_Nerd: Jim: "She moved off after she graduated. We said we'd call each other every week, and it became every month, and..."<br> DanteE: (That's a long time ago...)<br> Random_Nerd: (Yeah, that would be years ago.)<br> DanteE: "When was that?"<br> Random_Nerd: (You can't hear Jim, since he's not here.)<br> DanteE: (If the cult is recent, then it's not Jim's GF...)<br> Brian_: (at least, not /this/ Jim's GF)<br> Random_Nerd: (Yeah. It's not Brian's Jim, just another guy who happened to have the same name.)<br> Brian_: (A) "No contact with her in years, then? Sorry to hear."<br> DanteE: "Jim who?"<br> Brian_: (Dante's not the only one to have strange leaps of conclusion :p)<br> Random_Nerd: Jim: "I got a letter from her a few months ago. She's married. I'm... happy for her."<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "Uh, Jim over there. I don't really know him too well. He was working on the giant, and I was on brick delivery."<br> Brian_: (A) "If you'd like to visit her someday, I'm sure we could arrange it easily"<br> Random_Nerd: The cultist points.<br> Random_Nerd: Jim: "I... no, that's okay. I'm happy for her, but I'd rather be happy for her from a long way away."<br> DanteE: (ah, different Jim)<br> Brian_: (A) "Offer's always open."<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "And... yeah, the first dream. You don't really recall it clearly, but you remember what it means."<br> DanteE: "when did this Cult of yours start?"<br> Brian_: (RH) "Guys, if we take one of them to our Chancel, we can use our Realm magic to view the dreams of theirs"<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "And there's these people. Five of them. And I don't really recall what they looked like, but... you know how you just know things in dreams? I knew they were you. And they said to come here, get the giant ready for you to eat, make the bricks and distribute them, and wait for future instructions."<br> Random_Nerd: (But remember that cultists mess up Realm as well as Domain.)<br> DanteE: "We may not need to..."<br> Brian_: (which is annoying, but still I think it would be doable)<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "But... the guy who was in charge, the one who... died when you were talking to him? He knew more. I think he had the dreams each night."<br> DanteE: "You. Think about your dream..."<br> Theresa: *prays silently: "Do you really want them contaminating the Chancel?"*<br> DanteE: (Logic: if it's 'us' they're dreaming about, we should be able to get something with just Divs)<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "What about it?"<br> DanteE: "This." (Div-Blades on what's in his head.)<br> Random_Nerd: C: "Oh, and we started about... I've only been here three months. Some of them were here twice that long, I think."<br> Random_Nerd: (Divination of blades on what's in whose head?)<br> DanteE: (the cultist that's currently thinking about his dream of us.)<br> Random_Nerd: (There isn't anything in his mind that's sufficiently bladelike to show up on the divination.)<br> DanteE: (Yeah there is... it's a dream of Blades. :) )<br> DanteE: (And the rest of us too)<br> Random_Nerd: (It's a dream in which there's a guy in it that seems to be connected to blades.)<br> Random_Nerd: (I think that's at enough removes as not to be part of your estate.)<br> DanteE: (placed there as an attempt to get control of the domain of Blades)<br> DanteE: (by someone hooked to our Imperator)<br> Random_Nerd: (Eh, if it was a dream about something sharp, I'd allow it, but this seems to be two degres of dubiousness.)<br> DanteE: "Hm... <br> DanteE: "We should probably treat this the same way you handle dangerous materials...<br> Theresa: "Put on haz mats suits and blow it up a safe distance away?"<br> DanteE: "Sam... find a way to get from here to that big desert plain south of Mount Melchior where no one lives."<br> Random_Nerd: Cultist: "Can... can we please go? We didn't want to hurt anyone."<br> Random_Nerd: Sam: "Okay... but I'll need reference materials."<br> Random_Nerd: (And I take it that's a place in Amyra?)<br> DanteE: (Yep, desert that used to separate Amyra from, say, Ethiopia.)<br> Random_Nerd: (Okay, if it's on the edges, that shouldn't be too hard.)<br> Random_Nerd: Sam: "And which is preferable, reducing travel over Amyra, or over the outside world?"<br> DanteE: (Can't forget that the settled part of Amyra was notoriously hard to get to. :) )<br> DanteE: "The main thing is that there's a good size buffer zone between where we come in and anything valuable, including our fellow Amyrans."<br> Random_Nerd: Sam: "Okay, then we may have to go to a different city. The ones near here don't come out of that part of the border."<br> Theresa: (Can Dante's car handle Mr. Personality?)<br> DanteE: (I did say HUmmer...)<br> Random_Nerd: (Mind if we stop soon?)<br> Brian_: (was about to say the same :p)<br> DanteE: to the others: "Now... what do we tell these guys?<br> Theresa: "How about have them gather bricks and bring them back. Would save wear and tear on the Jim."<br> DanteE: "Well, the bricks may mark the border of whatever they were planning."<br> Brian_: "It's still a good punishment"<br> DanteE: "And it may cut back on the area where our miracles are affected<br> DanteE: (Wait... did our Miracles work in Jim's place?)<br> Brian_: "For what it's worth, I put my vote behind that"<br> Theresa: (The houseplant I made for him was slightly...off.)<br> Random_Nerd: (They seemed to work to a moderate degree, but there was some twisting.)<br> DanteE: "So... get the ones who had the most vivid dreams back to Amyra to do a divination, while having the others recover their bricks?"<br> Theresa: "Sounds okay, although I'm really leery about bringing them back home."<br> Brian_: "Perhaps it's a Cult Focus or something"<br> DanteE: "That's why we're not taking them to Kaerkoven."<br> DanteE: "We'll take them to (...) plain just long enough to do the DIvination, then bring them back."<br> * DanteE double-checks these guys over with the Sight.<br> Random_Nerd: (One moment, looking something up.)<br> Random_Nerd: They aren't Noble or Anchored, mainly. The giant has a look about midway between a Noble or an Anchor. And the places where the blood-mist from the one guy fell look rather like if you melted an Anchor.<br> DanteE: (uhoh...)<br> Theresa: (Not good.)<br> Brian_: (...)<br> Brian_: (you can melt anchors? also: ohshit)<br> DanteE: (Yeah, does it happen often?)<br> Random_Nerd: (Have you ever tried to melt an Anchor? No? Then how do you know you can't?)<br> Brian_: (immunity to direct miracles!)<br> DanteE: ("Hey, Jim, how'd you like to advance the cause of Science?")<br> Random_Nerd: (Also, in general, when looking around with the Sight, it feels like you have a thing in your eye.)<br> Brian_: (>_<)<br> Random_Nerd: (Like if you just woke up, and you've not blinked many times, say.)<br> DanteE: (OK, vote: go with the original plan, or too dangerous?)<br> Brian_: (which was the original plan?)<br> Theresa: (I think if we take any, we take _one_ and give the boss and any guards a warning that we might be bringing the metaphysical equiv of radioative flu into the Chancel.)<br> DanteE: (take some cultists to whatever plain and do a Realm-Div to get details of their dreams)<br> DanteE: "Sam, William, would we get enough from looking into their dreams to offset the potential problems with bringing them to Amyra?"<br> Random_Nerd: S: "Hell if I know."<br> Random_Nerd: William: "It makes me nervous, sir, but I defer to your judgement if you think it best."<br> DanteE: "Their dreams are a link to whoever's running the cult."<br> Random_Nerd: (Mind if we call it a night here?
