Mar 31

[17:52] Murska: or prolly stretching it to 2,5
[17:52] Shadowcaller: Hm?
[17:52] Murska: (hours of my time)
[17:52] Murska: (today)
[17:53] Shadowcaller: Invite wolfy?
[17:53] * moc.liamtoh|700enabflow#moc.liamtoh|700enabflow (Wolfbane) has joined the conversation.
[17:53] Shadowcaller: Hello
[17:53] Shadowcaller: >.>
[17:53] Wolfbane: I have to leave for class in 15 minutes
[17:53] Shadowcaller: Okay
[17:53] Happy: okay
[17:53] Murska: Maybe we should do your introduction IF another day then?
[17:53] Murska: for enough time to be epic
[17:53] Happy: yup
[17:54] Wolfbane: Yeah
[17:54] Happy: So, Cessie and Pan are nearing the Tower
[17:54] Shadowcaller: Hm, I wonder who is going to be Gm taht day…
[17:54] Wolfbane: I won't be done with that class for almost 2 hours
[17:54] Shadowcaller: that
[17:54] Shadowcaller: Yeah, so its best we save it
[17:54] Wolfbane: Want me to stay and watch, or leave as to not spoil anything?
[17:55] Happy: up to you
[17:55] Shadowcaller: Indeed
[17:55] Shadowcaller: Anyway, I was with Pan right? Murska controlled him >.>
[17:55] Wolfbane: ((I like surprises and I don't want to seem anything close to omnipotent, so have fun))
[17:56] *
Wolfbane has left the conversation.
[17:56] Happy: Pan was behaving himself, but still managing to embarrass Cessie
[17:56] Shadowcaller: Looks around
[17:57] Happy: You've been staying in the woods, avoiding the swamp and the army
[17:57] Shadowcaller: I see Pan right?
[17:57] Happy: yes
[17:58] Shadowcaller: "Well, I had enough of your comments for one day…"
[17:58] Shadowcaller: *uses illusions to look like I did*
[17:59] Murska: 'Well that makes my job easier.'
[18:00] Shadowcaller: "Mine too actually…"
[18:00] Shadowcaller: "Now, can we please go on? the illusion don't stop me from freezing…"
[18:01] Murska: 'Right. Just follow me.'
[18:01] Happy: (want to go ahead and skip to arrival?)
[18:01] Shadowcaller: (why not?)
[18:01] Murska: (sure=
[18:02] Happy: You reach the edge of the forest. Beyond you can see tents of the Minster refugees around the Tower.
[18:02] Happy: In Aegnor's head: /Your fire human approaches./
[18:02] Shadowcaller: *is freezing* "This place sure has changed…"
[18:02] Murska: 'See? Back here, safe and secure. Can I go now?' *at the pixies and other spirits*
[18:03] Murska: /Cessie? Finally!/
[18:03] Murska: Aegnor… (where is he?)
[18:03] Happy: The pixies and spirits all laugh, and vanish into the trees.
[18:03] Shadowcaller: "Yeah, I thought you wanted to follow…"
[18:03] Shadowcaller: "Bye.."
[18:03] Happy: (Aegnor is wherever in the camp he wants to be)
[18:04] Murska: 'No, I didn't mean it like that. It was a wonderful sight, meeting you. I'm just not made for stuff like, you know, not chasing beautiful women I meet.' Pan turns and disappears.
[18:05] Murska: Aegnor is in the tower. He rushes outside, telling Happy, if he sees her, that Cessie's back.
[18:05] Shadowcaller: /now I need real cloths, these illusion cloths just don't help./
[18:05] Shadowcaller: Walks toward the tower
[18:05] Happy: Happy's out on patrol.
[18:05] Murska: /where is she?/
[18:05] Murska: Aegnor is at the tower entrance now
[18:06] Shadowcaller: I'm at the beggining of the refugee camp
[18:06] Murska: (asking the pixies)
[18:07] Happy: /Here. Here. We brought her./
[18:07] Shadowcaller: *avoiding everyone*
[18:07] Shadowcaller: /This is going to be hard… I need to talk to Helena again./
[18:08] Shadowcaller: Slowly trying to walk by the crowded refugee camp
[18:08] Murska: Aegnor looks around at the tower but still doesn't know which way to go.
[18:09] Shadowcaller: /I'm a wizard, why don't I just fly in?/
[18:09] Shadowcaller: /Eh, I need to save my spells…/
[18:09] Murska: (what'd you add to Cessie page, SC?)
[18:09] Happy: The pixies can't really guide him any more specifically
[18:09] Shadowcaller: (just fixed some minor misstakes)
[18:10] Shadowcaller: Is about at the entrance now
[18:10] Shadowcaller: Looking around a bit nervously
[18:11] Murska: Once Aegnor notices Cessie, he rushes at her 'Finally!' and (glomphs) hugs her.
[18:12] Happy: He might notice that he's feeling bare skin on her shoulders and upper back instead of cloth. But then again, he might be too absorbed in the moment for such details to register.
[18:12] Murska: (doesn't the illusion make me believe it anyway?)
[18:12] Shadowcaller: *accepts the hug, smiles* "Hello Aegnor, I promised I be here."
[18:12] Shadowcaller: (Thats what I said.)
[18:13] Shadowcaller: (its basic illusionary)
[18:13] Happy: (Cessie's not a master illusionist yet)
[18:13] Shadowcaller: (well, touch is actaully easier to fool then sight)
[18:13] Happy: (Okay, then you don't notice)
[18:13] Murska: (does it or not?)
[18:13] Murska: (K)
[18:13] Murska: ( k)
[18:13] Murska: *
[18:14] Murska: darn smileys
[18:14] Shadowcaller: ^^
[18:14] Murska: should get rid of those -.-
[18:14] Shadowcaller: *a long hug later*
[18:14] Shadowcaller: "I need to… change clothes."
[18:14] Murska: 'So you did. Glad to notice you're still honest.' (to the earlier, while hugging)
[18:14] Murska: 'Of course.'
[18:15] Murska: Aegnor lets go of her and walks her to the tower.
[18:15] Shadowcaller: "So, what is happening here? Besides the obvious that is."
[18:16] Murska: 'We've been preparing for the arrival of the enemy, mostly.'
[18:16] Shadowcaller: "Anything I should know of?"
[18:16] Murska: (anything she should know of? Not that I know)
[18:17] Happy: (Caster has been anxious for hre arrival)
[18:17] Murska: 'Nothing much… oh, but Caster wanted to see you.'
[18:18] Shadowcaller: "He has? Well, I should see him once I changed my clothes, this must be important…"
[18:19] Shadowcaller: Looks for empty room in the tower where I can change my clothes
[18:19] Happy: Aegnor has a room
[18:19] Murska: Aegnor'll lead her to her room if she has one prepared and to his if not
[18:20] Happy: No, quarters were too tight for her to have her own room.
[18:20] Shadowcaller: "Do you mind if I get some privacy?"
[18:20] Murska: 'Of course.' Aegnor leaves the room after showing it to her.
[18:20] Shadowcaller: "Now…
[18:21] Shadowcaller: (I can take of those damn leaves right?)
[18:21] Happy: (yes)
[18:21] Shadowcaller: Then I do so, and get some real clothes
[18:21] Shadowcaller: Not sure how this would look like…
[18:21] Shadowcaller: Since the illusion is still intact
[18:22] Happy: The illusion looks the same
[18:22] Shadowcaller: *changes clothes*
[18:22] Shadowcaller: Not sure what to do with the leaves…
[18:23] Happy: You now have a flower petal dress.
[18:23] Shadowcaller: "…gods damn this."
[18:23] Shadowcaller: "I need real cloths."
[18:23] Shadowcaller: *picks up orb*
[18:24] Shadowcaller: *attempts to contact Helena*
[18:24] Happy: She looks healthier than when you last saw her. "Hello, my dear. Did he enjoy your new look?" *sly smile*
[18:24] Shadowcaller: "Well… I had a complain about it actually."
[18:25] Shadowcaller: "The clothes."
[18:25] Happy: Sha laughs. "Of course, he finds you more beautiful without any, but I believe you should always leave something for the imagination, to keep his attention."
[18:26] Shadowcaller: "Thats not how I meant, I can't were these leaves, not matter what I put on it turns into leaves."
[18:26] Shadowcaller: "Could you change that perhaps?"
[18:27] Happy: "Not the same clothing you were wearing before? It was so plain."
[18:28] Shadowcaller: "I like plain clothes…"
[18:28] Happy: "But it covered everything."
[18:28] Shadowcaller: "And what do you have in mind anyway? I'm not wearing some stupid dress."
[18:28] Shadowcaller: "Thats the point of it."
[18:29] Shadowcaller: (how is Helena dressed anyway? o.O)
[18:29] Happy: (She's always dressed in a different beautiful dress whenever you see her, but it is much more revealing than anything Cessie would consider.)
[18:30] Shadowcaller: "I don't think I will have time for anything really, so just give me something practical, that I don't freeze in."
[18:31] Happy: "No time for your love? Have you quarrelled?"
[18:31] Shadowcaller: "No, but there is a war coming, there are lives on the line Helena."
[18:31] Shadowcaller: "Thats why I haven't contacted you until yesterday."
[18:32] Happy: She looks worried. "You will be careful?"
[18:32] Shadowcaller: "Of course, I'm always careful, you don't have to worry about me:" *smile*
[18:33] Happy: Cessie's flower dress turns back into a normal dress, similar to her old dress, but embellished with embroidery and made of more luxurious fabric. Something she might have worn before she left home.
[18:34] Shadowcaller: "Can you tie up all this hair into something too? Its getting in my way…"
[18:36] Happy: Cessie finds her hair suddenly arranged in intricate, crisscrossing braids.
[18:36] Shadowcaller: "Thank you Helena."
[18:36] Happy: Meanwhile, Happy returns to the Tower and finds Aegnor. "Someone said they saw Cessie!"
[18:37] Murska: 'Yeah, Cessie returned.' Aegnor is smiling. 'She's in my room.'
[18:38] Shadowcaller: "Hm, anything more? Can you think of something else?"
[18:40] Happy: "You look beautiful, my Cessie. Just remember what I said. Be safe."
[18:40] Happy: She is gone.
[18:41] Shadowcaller: "Thats better…"
[18:41] Happy: Happy hugs Aegnor in delight. "And she's okay? Not hurt?"
[18:41] Murska: 'Yeah. She said she wanted to change clothes.'
[18:41] Shadowcaller: *changes the illusion to fit the dress Helena gave her*
[18:42] Shadowcaller: "You can come in now Aegnor."
[18:43] Shadowcaller: (still illusion of my orginal apperance.)
[18:43] Shadowcaller: (+dress she gave me)
[18:43] Murska: Aegnor returns to the room. 'Oh… wow. I don't think there was anything like that in my room when I left it.'
[18:44] Shadowcaller: "Its a illusion, I got a much clothes on, buts its nice is it now?" *twirls*
[18:44] Shadowcaller: *simpler
[18:45] Shadowcaller: *not
[18:45] Murska: 'Yeah, I like it.' Aegnor smiles at her while walking closer. 'Of course, it's not like I care what you're wearing as long as you're here.'
[18:48] Shadowcaller: "Thanks, I think I actually starts getting used to those comments now, my guide was not as modest however…." *smile*
[18:48] Murska: 'Who was that?'
[18:49] Shadowcaller: "Some nature spirit called Pan, he had similar intrests to you actually."
[18:51] Murska: 'Did anything happen during the trip? You seem to be doing fine.'
[18:52] Shadowcaller: "Well… something happend, but I can tell you about it later, I need to met Caster first… oh and where is Happy?"
[18:53] Murska: 'She was just outside with me. Happy?' Aegnor says the last word louder.
[18:53] Happy: Happy comes in and gives Cessie a big hug. "Don't ever do that again!"
[18:54] Shadowcaller: *hugs back* "Happy…"
[18:55] Shadowcaller: "I just tried to save you, those druids didn't hit me once."
[18:56] Happy: "If anything had happened to you…"
[18:57] Shadowcaller: "I know, but we can't think like that, we must look forward."
[18:58] Happy: Happy nods, and steps back. "Right. You're back now. And we're going to be under attack soon."
[18:58] Shadowcaller: "I better talk to Caster… are you coming?"
[18:58] Happy: "If you want."
[18:58] Murska: 'I'm not leaving your side, don't think.' *smile*
[18:59] Shadowcaller: *goes up to Caster*
[19:00] Happy: Caster and Noel are in his study.
[19:02] Happy: "You're returned, just in time," Caster says. "Since Noel arrived, we've been working together. We may have discovered a way to combat the worm. I didn't want to mention it on the seeing orbs. I wasn't sure it would be safe."
[19:03] Shadowcaller: "..you have? But thats great!"
[19:03] Shadowcaller: *smiles*
[19:03] Murska: 'You mean we can kill it?'
[19:05] Murska: (Hm… I think I was cursed in the temple of the worm when I was there the first time, saving you guys from it… Would that work?)
[19:05] Shadowcaller: (You were not?)
[19:06] Shadowcaller: (I think Happy has made up something on her own)
[19:06] Murska: (As in, would that have continuity errors)
[19:06] Murska: (ah, okay)
[19:06] Happy: "We hope." Caster shakes his head. "Here I was, living less than a day's travel from another wizard, and I didn't know it. If we had started working together earlier… Well, never mind."
[19:06] Happy: (Would that work for what?)
[19:06] Murska: (Well, I have an idea for my curse but it'd work best if I had received it there. So I was asking if it'd have continuity errors.=
[19:07] Happy: (You mean, the curse came from there instead of the armor? Sure, I don't have a problem with that.)
[19:07] Shadowcaller: (Eh, why not?)
[19:07] Murska: (Yeah, the armor is sort of totally gone anyway from the story. :P)
[19:08] Shadowcaller: (Well, you did leave it there…)
[19:08] Murska: (Well, it'd work from the armor aswell if you guys got something planned for it.)
[19:08] Shadowcaller: (I don't so go ahead.)
[19:08] Murska: (I could always say it regained it's full strength only afterwards.)
[19:09] Happy: (I have no plans for the armor either.)
[19:09] Murska: 'So, what is it?'
[19:10] Shadowcaller: "I would like to know that very much to, and why did you need to see me about it?"
[19:15] Happy: Noel: "One of my very old books describes a ritual for drawing the energy off of a magical perversion. It's probably something very similar to what the druids are using themselves to create their abominations. But Caster believes that we can twist that energy, and use it to feed our own spells, while weakening the worm."
[19:15] Happy: (Cessie will know at once that this is something very very dangerous.)
[19:15] Murska: 'And people haven't used this why exactly?'
[19:16] Shadowcaller: "Wait… are you planning to use magic with anti-magic?"
[19:16] Shadowcaller: "Thats insane, we could all the die before the spell even take place."
[19:17] Murska: 'Right, I guess that's a reason.'
[19:18] Shadowcaller: "Magic can't control the anti-magic we would draw from the worm, it would require oceans of magic to make it safe, one misstake and all that anti-magic will kill all living things in the tower."
[19:20] Happy: Caster: "brb
[19:20] Shadowcaller: ^^
[19:23] Happy: Caster: "If the three of us formed a wizard's circle together, I believe we could control it."
[19:23] Shadowcaller: "But still, that would be very dangeorus."
[19:23] Happy: Noel: "These are my people, Cessie. I wouldn't risk their lives if I thought there was another way."
[19:24] Shadowcaller: "…what exactly would killing the worm do on the battle field?"
[19:24] Shadowcaller: "If such thing can be done."
[19:27] Happy: "It will cut Ignion and all his worms off from their own power source. They would still need to be killed, but it would be easier to do so. It may even cause Ignion to lose contact with the worms that are not part of him."
[19:30] Shadowcaller: "The undead then? Will it have any effect upon them? We don't have a army to fight them with."
[19:30] Happy: "The power it would give us - the spells we could cast - we can destroy the undead with them."
[19:30] Murska: Aegnor is still stuck at the 'three of us'… 'everyone might die'… parts. 'But… it's so dangerous!'
[19:31] Shadowcaller: "So will we if we get overrun by that army…"
[19:31] Murska: 'Didn't someone say something about an impenetrable shield earlier…'
[19:32] Murska: (how many druids left again…)
[19:32] Shadowcaller: "I think they have a point, we could save everyone here if this works, not a singel life needs to be ended."
[19:32] Happy: Happy: "So while me and Aegnor are out there fighting, you'll be in here, doing some kind of dangerous spell casting?" (13 left)
[19:32] Shadowcaller: *single
[19:33] Shadowcaller: "If we start right away… how long dose this ritual take?"
[19:33] Shadowcaller: "And where did you find it? Things like that just don't lay around."
[19:35] Happy: Noel: "I've been collecting rare books all my life. I brought this one with me when we evacuated, because it was one of the only ones I had that even mentioned magical perversions."
[19:36] Shadowcaller: "Hm, strange that Helios never said any of this to me…"
[19:36] Shadowcaller: "How long with the ritual take?"
[19:37] Happy: "I couldn't have made sense of it without Caster's help though."
[19:38] Happy: Caster: "We can't be sure. It will not take long to prepare, but once we start, it will be very dangerous for us to try and end it unless we've achieved our goal."
[19:39] Shadowcaller: "…what do you think of this Aegnor?"
[19:40] Murska: Aegnor looks at the ground, and slowly mutters: 'I… guess it's what we have to do.'
[19:41] Shadowcaller: "I think it is Aegnor, I think it is."
[19:41] Shadowcaller: "So, how dowe start?"
[19:41] Shadowcaller: *do we
[19:42] Happy: Caster: "Get some rest first. You'll need your full strength. We'll start at dawn."
[19:42] Shadowcaller: "I haven't used any spells today, I'm sure if we…"
[19:43] Murska: Aegnor looks miserable.
[19:43] Shadowcaller: "But I guess we need to be fully rested or something due the chance of misstakes right?"
[19:44] Shadowcaller: "But its easier then fight that army at least."
[19:44] Shadowcaller: "So, we can do whatever we want while we wait for that then?"
[19:45] Happy: "Keleron believes their main force can't reach us tonight. They could send their druids alone, but I think you've proven skilled enough in picking them off that they won't risk it."
[19:46] Shadowcaller: "So one night of preprations then?…" Cessie seems to ponder over this
[19:47] Shadowcaller: "Aegnor, anything you can do?"
[19:48] Murska: 'I can't do anything concrete that we haven't already done, but I hope I can inspire confidence.'
[19:48] Shadowcaller: "Happy?"
[19:50] Happy: "Aegnor and I have been training the villagers that are able to fight, though we're short on weaponry."
[19:51] Murska: 'And it appears that the sword I blocked that bolt with is melted enough to be unusable.'
[19:52] Happy: "There are a couple of blacksmiths working non-stop making spear heads. The dryads have assisted with bringing us wooden shafts."
[19:52] Shadowcaller: "Everyone is busy…"
[19:53] Shadowcaller: "Is there anything I can do?"
[19:53] Happy: "Rest." Caster says emphatically.
[19:54] Shadowcaller: "…I be in my room then, Aegnor, if you got time, can you visit me later?"
[19:55] Murska: 'Of course I will. I'll always have time for you.'
[19:55] Shadowcaller: *goes slowly to her room, worried about whats happening aorund her*
[19:56] Shadowcaller: *around
[19:57] Shadowcaller: (I'm guessing you are going to bed soon Murska?)
[19:58] Murska: (yah)
[19:58] Murska: (in about two minutes)
[19:59] Shadowcaller: (oh well, unless Happy want to RP or something we can break it here then.)
[19:59] Murska: (yeah, we better)
[19:59] Murska: (1 minute)
[19:59] Happy: goodnight then
[19:59] Shadowcaller: Good night
[19:59] Murska: night
[20:00] Shadowcaller: (So, are we going to do something Happy?)
[20:00] *** Aegnor has left the conversation.
Session Close (Group Conversation 26031): Tue Mar 31 20:00:49 2009

[20:04] Shadowcaller: Hello
[20:04] Wolfbane: hello
[20:04] Happy: brb, talk amongst yourselves
[20:05] Shadowcaller: Um… okay
[20:05] Shadowcaller: Want some type of remiss?
[20:06] Wolfbane: yeah, that would be helpful
[20:07] Shadowcaller: Well, the party have just gathered at "Casters tower" owned by… yeah, a mage named Caster
[20:07] Shadowcaller: There are a lot of refugees here, feeling from the undead army and the druids
[20:07] Wolfbane: Would he have Caster Oil?
[20:07] Wolfbane: =P
[20:07] Wolfbane: ok
[20:08] Shadowcaller: Hehe, no, but he got magic at least >.>
[20:08] Shadowcaller: Anyway, there are some NPC's around here
[20:08] Shadowcaller: But since you don't actually know them, I donät need to tell you that until you actaully meet them
[20:08] Shadowcaller: *don't
[20:08] Wolfbane: ok
[20:09] Wolfbane: Any specific things that I should be able to tell right off the bat?
[20:10] Shadowcaller: Here is two maps:
[20:10] Shadowcaller: (Link: http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg254/Seweron/BattleMap.jpg)http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg254/Seweron/BattleMap.jpg
[20:10] Shadowcaller: poorly drawn "tactical" map of the tower
[20:10] Wolfbane: Thats fine
[20:10] Shadowcaller: (Link: http://s431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/IF/?action=view&current=MSNgamemap5.png)http://s431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/IF/?action=view&current=MSNgamemap5.png
[20:10] Shadowcaller: map of the tree
[20:11] Shadowcaller: click to enlarge
[20:11] Shadowcaller: We are at Casters tower >.>
[20:11] Wolfbane: Is the entire thing the tree?
[20:11] Shadowcaller: The green edge is the end of the tree
[20:12] Wolfbane: Ah, so it is pretty much like Yggdrasil
[20:12] Wolfbane: *thinks he spelled that right*
[20:12] Shadowcaller: Exactly, there are some flying ships in that saltcross town
[20:12] Shadowcaller: Eh, who knows?
[20:12] Wolfbane: I should be able to, because I have been raised with myths and legends
[20:13] Shadowcaller: I love myths and legends too… I have not been raised with them however
[20:14] Wolfbane: So, the tree's branches reach over that entire territory
[20:14] Happy: No, we're on top of it
[20:14] Wolfbane: Ah
[20:14] Happy: the branches are under us. We have land and water and trees and animals
[20:14] Wolfbane: *wonders how a swamp could be in a tree, but its fantasy*
[20:14] Wolfbane: =P
[20:14] Shadowcaller: A wizard did it!
[20:14] Wolfbane: Obviously
[20:14] Shadowcaller: Or in this case, a druid >.>
[20:15] Shadowcaller: Lots of elf druids I guess
[20:15] Happy: we got better than swamps. We actually have caves
[20:16] Wolfbane: Nice
[20:16] Shadowcaller: And underground rivers!
[20:16] Wolfbane: Yep, its a lot like Yggdrasil
[20:16] Wolfbane: A world within
[20:16] Shadowcaller: Indeed
[20:16] Shadowcaller: Anyway, the army is going to arrive at dawn tomorrow
[20:16] Wolfbane: ok
[20:17] Wolfbane: Basically undead?
[20:17] Shadowcaller: Undead, some evil ents, a large thing made of human corpses…
[20:17] Shadowcaller: The walker as we call it
[20:17] Wolfbane: Man, Wolfbane is going to be pissed by all of the evil
[20:18] Shadowcaller: Yeah, those druids are pretty nasty, if we kill druids, they can not contol as many undead however
[20:19] Happy: Here's what I'm thinking. Your character has been travelling from the eastern part of the tree, and so isn't aware of what's going on.
[20:19] Wolfbane: Do they become wandering ones, or die from lack of control?
[20:19] Wolfbane: ok
[20:19] Shadowcaller: Just staying around
[20:19] Shadowcaller: Not moving
[20:19] Happy: they sort of just stop. Another druid could take control of them if they aren't destroyed first.
[20:20] Shadowcaller: I think the druid leader (that is a human made of worms) can control quite a lot of undead
[20:20] Shadowcaller: He is going to be hard to kill however…
[20:20] Happy: Indeed.
[20:20] Wolfbane: yeah
[20:20] Happy: Are you going to be GMing the main battle, SC?
[20:21] Shadowcaller: Sure
[20:21] Happy: You want me to GM the ritual part while you GM the fighting?
[20:21] Shadowcaller: Sure
[20:21] Shadowcaller: We are not going to fight now right? >.>
[20:21] Happy: no
[20:21] Shadowcaller: Good
[20:22] Happy: So… Cessie gets to her room, and Ai is waiting for her.
[20:22] Happy: Meanwhile, Wolfbane is in the forest.
[20:22] Shadowcaller: Wolfy then? He needs some attention:P
[20:22] Wolfbane: I can't decide the reason for it, maybe just wandering.
[20:23] Happy: He can smell people. A large settlement of them nearby. Ordinarily you would just assume it was a village, but there's something not quite right about it.
[20:24] Happy: Ai: "You're going to try it then?"
[20:24] Shadowcaller: "..What are you doing here?"
[20:25] Happy: "You're worried."
[20:25] Happy: Wolfbane realizes that what is wrong is that the smell of fear is high.
[20:25] Wolfbane: Wolfbane, having caught the scent, decides to go closer to investigate. (I'm assuming you want me to start))
[20:26] Happy: (yup)
[20:26] Shadowcaller: "Who isn't? Everyone is worried right now."
[20:26] Wolfbane: (())
[20:26] Shadowcaller: (
)
[20:28] Happy: Moving silently, Wolfbane is able to get close enough to see the settlement of refugees without being noticed himself.
[20:29] Happy: "What Caster wants to do… you know how dangerous it is."
[20:31] Shadowcaller: "Well… it needs to be done, you agree on that part don't you?"
[20:31] Happy: "With the effects that perversion had on us, just being near it, I can't imagine how anyone could possibly absorb that power without it doing them harm."
[20:31] Wolfbane: Since something is obviously wrong, he decides to watch the camp for a few minutes to see if he can learn something more.
[20:32] Shadowcaller: "Ai… please don't tell that to Aegnor."
[20:32] Happy: "As you desire."
[20:34] Happy: After a while, Wolfbane can tell that the camp is preparing to be attacked. He'll see most of the men and boys and some of the women drilling with crudely fashioned spears, while others work on shoring up the wall.
[20:34] Happy: Then his ears pick up a closer sound. Someone is in the forst near him.
[20:36] Wolfbane: Hearing the sound, Wolfbane picks up his spear and quickly hides behind a tree ready in case it should be a threat. He sniffs the air to try and catch a scent.
[20:38] Happy: The scent is that of a human woman. If he looks, he'll see Happy in the woods. He can tell by the way she moves that she's a hunter, and well accustomed to the outdoors.
[20:38] Shadowcaller: (I'm going to let wolfy get solo here since its hard to get in a game >.>)
[20:40] Wolfbane: Seeing Happy, he decides that she isn't a threat to his /immediate/ safety, but also chooses to follow her, just in case.
[20:42] Wolfbane: ((Sorry if I am making this difficult))
[20:42] Shadowcaller: (You are only playing your role:P)
[20:42] Happy: She's moving through the woods purposefully. ((no, you're fine)) She reaches a clearing, where a dryad steps out of a tree to speak to her.
[20:43] Happy: (Link: http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/IF/creatures/MM35_PG90.jpg)http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/IF/creatures/MM35_PG90.jpg
[20:44] Happy: The dryad hands Happy a bundle of long wooden poles, the right size to be spear shafts. While she's collecting them, the dryad looks you right in the eye, winks, and waves.
[20:45] Wolfbane: Taken aback by the fact that someone saw him, Wolfbane takes a step backwards and snaps a twig rather loudly.
[20:46] Wolfbane: ((And it would be just my luck to actually have that happen))
[20:46] Shadowcaller: (Hehe)
[20:47] Happy: Happy whirls around, dropping her bundle of sticks, and drawing her sword in a flash.
[20:47] Happy: ((poor doggy: (Link: http://www.cuteoverload.com/2009/03/dog-beer-cans.html)http://www.cuteoverload.com/2009/03/dog-beer-cans.html ))
[20:48] Wolfbane: ((Thats sad, funny, but sad))
[20:50] Shadowcaller: (Daww…)
[20:50] Wolfbane: Deciding that Happy is /now/ a threat to his immediate safety, he does what he hopes is the smart thing. Leaning his spear against a tree, he walks to just the inside of the clearing while holding his paws open.
[20:51] Happy: ((SC, would Happy have heard of the Wolfen before?))
[20:52] Shadowcaller: ((Um, decide that yourself.))
[20:52] Wolfbane: ((*hopes Happy doesn't think the claws are dangerous at that moment*))
[20:52] Wolfbane: ((=P))
[20:52] Shadowcaller: ()
[20:52] Happy: ((Happy's fought wolves before… she knows they're dangerous))
[20:53] Wolfbane: ((True))
[20:53] Happy: Happy lowers her sword slightly. Since her prey sense isn't registering him as an enemy of Kuori, she's not inclined to attack at once. "Who are you?"
[20:54] Wolfbane: In a gruff and slightly harsh voice, he answers. "I am Wolfbane"
[20:56] Wolfbane: ((He is rather distrusting at first))
[20:56] Happy: "Why are you here? These people are under my protection."
[20:58] Wolfbane: "I am here because I wandered here. And since I have just arrived, I could not have known that the people are been under your protection. And niether would I wish them harm." He adds quickly.
[21:00] Happy: "Good. They have enough enemies as it is."
[21:00] Happy: "My name is Happy, Huntress of Kuori."
[21:01] Wolfbane: "Then greetings. As I have said, my name is Wolfbane. But, if I may ask, why is everbody afraid?"
[21:03] Happy: "There is an army coming. They've already slaughtered the inhabitants of one village. We evacuated these people just in time to avoid the same fate."
[21:04] Wolfbane: "An army?" Wolfbane was shocked. How could he have not known about something that large?
[21:04] Happy: "You didn't come from the south or the west then."
[21:05] Wolfbane: "No, I came from the East."
[21:06] Happy: "It is an army of the walking dead, controlled by evil men."
[21:07] Wolfbane: Hearing that, Wolfbane snarled in disgust. "Is there any way that I could help?"
[21:09] Happy: "If you can fight, we welcome your help. Very few of us are trained warriors. I've been putting spears into the hands of farmers and shopkeepers."
[21:12] Wolfbane: "I can fight, and would be willing to help." He gestures towards his spear. "May I?"
[21:12] Happy: Happy nods, and resheaths her sword.
[21:12] Happy: She begins picking up the spear shafts that she dropped.
[21:13] Wolfbane: Wolfbane nods and takes his own spear, putting it into it's own sheath across his back.
[21:13] Wolfbane: ((Is that a request for help? I can't tell))
[21:14] Happy: Happy soon has them all picked up. "I have heard stories of your people before, but I've never met one of you."
[21:14] Happy: She leads him back towards the camp.
[21:16] Wolfbane: Wolfbane nods and starts to walk beside her. "Few have considering how many of us there are." He pulls up his hood to at least try to hide.
[21:17] Happy: ((SC, want to bring in Kilia or Kelaron?))
[21:17] Shadowcaller: ((Think you can handle that wolfy?))
[21:17] Wolfbane: ((Also, how many Wolfen are there? If there are quite a lot, sorry))
[21:17] Wolfbane: ((Yeah))
[21:18] Wolfbane: ((I'm more worried about Happy GMing both))
[21:18] Wolfbane: =P
[21:18] Shadowcaller: ((No idea how many wolfen there are, you decide:P)
[21:18] Wolfbane: ((Probably not a lot, maybe just a little isolated))
[21:19] Shadowcaller: ((If you want, then introduce them yes.))
[21:20] Shadowcaller: (I can controll them)
[21:22] Happy: Happy leads Wolfbane into the camp, and stops to drop off her spear shafts with an older woman. She seems to be in charge of a group of teenagers who are attacking spear heads to the poles.
[21:23] Happy: Then she leads him to where Kelaron is.
[21:23] Happy: (Link: http://whisperingworm.wikidot.com/kelaron)http://whisperingworm.wikidot.com/kelaron
[21:24] Happy: "Keleron, this is Wolfbane. He has offered to help us fight."
[21:24] Wolfbane: ((Nice picture))
[21:25] Shadowcaller: Keleron watches the new-comer "He is okay." He replaies shortly
[21:25] Shadowcaller: *replies
[21:25] Shadowcaller: (get used to those corrections…)
[21:25] Wolfbane: ((Its fine =P))
[21:26] Shadowcaller: "Where did you find him?"
[21:26] Happy: "He was in the forest, traveling from the east."
[21:27] Shadowcaller: "He have not done evil acts… do you want you aid us in this battle Wolfbane?"
[21:28] Wolfbane: After looking around, he replies. "I would like to think that the answer was obvious, but yes."
[21:28] Shadowcaller: "Evil must be destroyed, vengence must be achived for all the people these men have slayed."
[21:29] Shadowcaller: "Good, how skilled are you then? Have you fought in any wars before?"
[21:31] Wolfbane: "Smaller battles, yes. But I have not fought in something this large. And I would like to think that I am skilled in combat."
[21:32] Wolfbane: ((By smaller, he means raids and such, nothing on the scale of a huge army against a small town))
[21:34] Shadowcaller: "The army we are facing here are filled with wretched creatures made from the bodies of innocents, they may be more then us, but we fight for a just cuase, I will be honored to fight beside anyone that willfully will join in the defence of the innoenct and the punishment of the guilty."
[21:35] Shadowcaller: (Yes, he speaks like that:P)
[21:35] Wolfbane: =P
[21:35] Wolfbane: ((I noticed))
[21:37] Wolfbane: Wolfbane nods. "What is it that I need to do for now?"
[21:38] Shadowcaller: "Train these innocents if you think yourself up to it."
[21:38] Shadowcaller: (happy can handle those >.>)
[21:39] Happy: (I need to go to bed soon)
[21:39] Wolfbane: ((Aww…))
[21:39] Shadowcaller: (I second that >.>)
[21:40] Wolfbane: (Depending on the time of day, I could always have to find a place to put my excess equipment))
[21:41] Shadowcaller: (excess quipment?)
[21:41] Wolfbane: ((his pack))
[21:41] Shadowcaller: *equipment
[21:41] Shadowcaller: (oh)
[21:41] Wolfbane: (Its only a small one though)
[21:43] Happy: Someone finds room for Wolfbane in the camp. He probably earns a lot of stares, but then, these people are already used to getting help from an elf, a golem, and a guy in full plate. So they're not too easily shocked anymore.
[21:44] Wolfbane: (Hehe)
[21:46] Happy: (does Cessie have anything else to say to Ai?)
[21:46] Shadowcaller: (right, just one second)
[21:47] Shadowcaller: "So, any other reason you are here then?"
[21:47] Happy: "I'd hoped to talk you out of this mad scheme."
[21:48] Shadowcaller: "But.. I thought we all agreed,"
[21:49] Happy: He bows his head. "If it is what you desire, then I will assist in any way I can."
[21:49] Shadowcaller: "Why are you against it?"
[21:50] Happy: "I fear what it will do to you."
[21:50] Shadowcaller: "What about Caster and Noel then? They will be just as effected as I will be."
[21:51] Happy: "I fear for them as well. They would not listen to me."
[21:52] Shadowcaller: "Do you know anything I don't about this?"
[21:52] Shadowcaller: "I read a small portions about "anti-magic" but I didn't even know it had that effect upon magic users until you told me."
[21:52] Happy: "Do you know what the perversion is? What made it? How can three mortals stand against it?"
[21:53] Shadowcaller: "Well, they say its supposed to work…"
[21:53] Shadowcaller: "I know very little about the worm actually."
[21:54] Happy: Ai tells Cessie what he told Happy the other day but which I'm too lazy to go back and copy paste.
[21:54] Shadowcaller: (
)
[21:54] Shadowcaller: "That sounds pretty grim…"
[21:55] Shadowcaller: "Not saying anything about its weakneeses or strenghts thought."
[21:55] Shadowcaller: (poor spelling)
[21:56] Happy: "I will leave you now. But please, give it thought."
[21:57] Shadowcaller: (Hm, can anyone see her illusion by the way?)
[21:58] Happy: (Ai probably can see through it, but he's too worried about the ritual to tease her about it.)
[21:58] Wolfbane: ((Later, Wolfbane may be able to smell that something is off, but that is later))
[21:59] Happy: ((No, he wouldn't. Her illusion is too similar to her real form.))
[21:59] Shadowcaller: (Add smell magic to your skills)
[21:59] Shadowcaller: (maybe wolfen can smell magic? Illusions?)
[21:59] Happy: (ah, maybe)
[21:59] Wolfbane: ((I meant the actuall smell, she was the one that was turned into a Nymph?))
[22:00] Shadowcaller: (Not a Nymph, I just look like one… >.>)
[22:00] Wolfbane: ((Oh, then nevermind then))
[22:01] Shadowcaller: (I mean, hair down to you knees?)
[22:02] Shadowcaller: (Feel free to add odd abilites to yourself wolfy, we all did >.>)
[22:02] Wolfbane: ((Heh)
[22:04] Wolfbane: (I don't think he would be able to "smell" magic, but at least know that something isn't natural)
[22:04] Shadowcaller: (Yeah, dogs are said to have that)
[22:04] Shadowcaller: (And I supposed wolfs do too.)
[22:05] Shadowcaller: (So it makes sense.)
[22:05] Shadowcaller: (Happy, so I don't look that different from my orginal apperance?)
[22:05] Wolfbane: (Oh, as a warning, he may get a little… carried away in the heat of battle)
[22:06] Shadowcaller: (hehe)
[22:06] Shadowcaller: (I'm going for some strange ritual, so I'm not there:S)
[22:06] Shadowcaller: (Happy might see you bashing heads thought)
[22:06] Wolfbane: (I'll hold them off)
[22:06] Happy: (Happy might be bashing heads)
[22:06] Shadowcaller: (Might be?:P)
[22:07] Wolfbane: (Oh, and when he falls to his baser instincts, I do not mean the need to reproduce.)
[22:07] Wolfbane: =P
[22:07] Shadowcaller: (That would be nasty^^)
[22:07] Shadowcaller: (SUrvival is a more basic instinct anyway.)
[22:08] Wolfbane: (At least, we hope so)
[22:09] Happy: (Well, you know, the need to reproduce tends to lead to baby booms in wartime. The night before a battle… you know…)
[22:09] Shadowcaller: ( >.>)
[22:09] Wolfbane: ( ;) )
[22:10] Wolfbane: (I wouldn't think Happy was that kind of person though)
[22:11] Shadowcaller: (Can wolfen reproduce with humans anyway?)
[22:11] Happy: (Well, considering she's a virgin because she didn't want to be pregnant, I think she will not be indulging.)
[22:11] Happy: (However, there will be a lot of pairing up amongst the refugees.)
[22:11] Wolfbane: (I don't know, but I imagine not very easily)
[22:12] Shadowcaller: ¨(Eww, Cessie will not like that.)
[22:12] Shadowcaller: (And Neither will Kilia)
[22:13] Happy: (How will Cessie know?)
[22:13] Wolfbane: ( I meant the differences in genes, not physical ability)
[22:13] Shadowcaller: (If she sees it that is.)
[22:13] Happy: (And most of it will be amongst established couples anyway.)
[22:13] Shadowcaller: (oh, okay, what kind of offspring would they produce?)
[22:13] Wolfbane: *nods*
[22:15] Wolfbane: (I'm not entirely sure, but maybe a half-breed. Or, you could go to the other route and make it a set of twins. One of each)
[22:15] Shadowcaller: (hehe)
[22:15] Happy: (or say they can have sex but no offspring results)
[22:17] Shadowcaller: (Hm, you need to be deep into furries to do that really.)
[22:17] Wolfbane: ( I may be furry, but I am not /a/ furry)
[22:17] Shadowcaller: (They their… organs work together?)
[22:18] Happy: (it's more realistic to have their organs working together than their genes working together)
[22:18] Wolfbane: (Besides, with what is out there /now/ I would say so)
[22:18] Wolfbane: (Don't ask)
[22:19] Wolfbane: (And whatever you do, don't use google)
[22:19] Happy: O.o
[22:19] Shadowcaller: …
[22:20] Wolfbane: …yeah
[22:20] Wolfbane: (its a bad idea)
[22:20] Shadowcaller: I would imagine so…
[22:20] Shadowcaller: Your saving this right Happy?
[22:20] Shadowcaller: Or should I?
[22:20] Happy: I'll do it
