Orme: gasp Isabel: Isabel : Perception Check 11 Bronn: (guys shush be quiet) Bogrir: aight aight let's not make this log incomprehensible --- Picture: Music: Streak (GM): Earth. A planet shaped and molded by many types of creatures. Countless unique and special lives have been lead here, each one unique. Heroes are born, adventure seekers who travel in search of fame and power. Others prefer the comfort of home, and work to make the world a safer place. Magic burns in the souls of the people, while technology advances unfalteringly. Streak (GM): There are those who seek power, and march forward in the name of conquest. Warriors and mages clash with sword and flame. There are times of peace, but there are also times of war. This Chaos is part of Life. And all is in balance. Or so it was... Adventure calls. Bogrir claps Sheena: hello Streak (GM): Welcome to... Isabel: We apparently live on a planter Bronn: im not crying, you are Picture: Music: Streak (GM): Eden!

(please scroll down) Golurk: i think the gm can control the camera Streak (GM): i recommend zooming to 50% on the left Bronn: ok i found me Sheena: :D Streak (GM): Yep, you're all spread out right now because none of you know each other yet unless maybe you want to Bogrir: I'm checking out some shoddy worksmanship apparently Bronn: man i am so loving the ffta pogs Zmey admires the festivities. Streak (GM): Eden is a center of advancement and progress, you'll find many races of people living here. Humes, Moogles, Elvanns, the Nu Mou and if you're lucky, the occasional friendly Qu. Look, there's even a Gria there! Zmey waves Bogrir: (No idea what any of those are) Bronn: i see multiple gria Streak (GM): The city is largely centered around the Church of Eden, a massive and grand structure built for the worship of the Gods. Sheena: shh Isabel looks around at the stalls Streak (GM): Really, the church is massive its to the north of here, but you aren't allowed there Sheena: 3fancy 5me Isabel: I see mechs up the street Streak (GM): Right now, it seems a festival is underway! The entire city is out at night, checking out all the festivities around. Fireworks light the night sky, batheing the streets below in magical light of all kinds of colours. There's all kinds of things to do. Isabel: Jeeze, I was here this morning. How long have I been here Streak (GM): Like the merchants stalls, displaying all kinds of food There's a petting zoo over there... Zmey: "..." Streak (GM): or maybe you're just relaxing at a bar Bronn stretches his arms behind his head, standing up from sitting against a shack Meruga slups and slobbers Streak (GM): in fact lets just ask you guys what are you all doing here?? Sheena stares eagerly at the chocobos grazing in the nearby field Bogrir: I'm looking for information about the fabled Fullmetal there's a myth about in my clan Isabel: I work here, but I got the day off for the festival Orme: "Meruga, stop it! don't drink fountain water" Bogrir: Eden seems like a good place to start Orme: "you don't know where it's been" Sheena: "Hey, cmon! Do something cool!!" Bronn: I'm here along with some of the Wyrmsbane, enjoying some time off. Zmey: "I want to to touch these Chocobo." Chocobo: "Kweh??" Isabel checks the nearby stall Orme: I'm taking a break from my creature studies Bogrir approaches the weapons mercant. Orme: night walk with my wolf Bogrir: "I see ye sell some arms. Make 'em yerself?" Streak (GM): I should tell you about the NPCs with orange dots they have things to say Sheena: i'm gonna try and like pet the chocobo and shit Streak (GM): if you feel like listening Sheena: would that be a nature check Zmey: Zmey : Perception Check 8 eavesdropping Streak (GM): Sheena, you successfully pet the chocobo. Bogrir: yeee first perception check of the game! Sheena: fuck yes Streak (GM): Well done! Bronn: alright hold up, lets try and do this one person at a time just so it doesnt get too out of control Bogrir: agreed Streak (GM): Yes, thats the issue here, haha Isabel moves over to another stall Sheena is content to pet the chocobo like, forever Streak (GM): Let's see... Bogrir: it's alright bogrir's just messing about really Streak (GM): Bogrir Sheena: im gonna shut up for a bit now Streak (GM): You see on this weapons stall all manner of strange weapons there's a gun thats also a spear Sheena: hot Streak (GM): a giant piece of metal called a Buster Sword Streak (GM): it's all very expensive, what with the festival markup Bogrir: I'd like to check if any of the metals are strange Streak (GM): And besides, they don't even look that well made. You could roll for that, right Bogrir: yeah, i just odn't know what to roll perception? and it gets a bonus from goldsniffeR? Bronn: (knowledge engineering if thats still a thing) Streak (GM): you're a blacksmith my trade after all by* Golurk: that would be appraise, IF WE HAD ONE Streak (GM): roll your profession Bogrir: I don't see profession..

Streak (GM): Giving the weapons a quick look, before the moogle merchant gets annoyed, you determine these weapons are made of basic iron. Very boring, if not interestingly designed, at least. Bogrir walks away, uninerested. Streak (GM): Right, Zmey, what will you do Bogrir: that is if i knew how to walk away Zmey: Zmey : Performance Check 19 i DANCE Bronn: wow there is literally no knowledge engineering with consolidated skills weird Sheena: no it's under technology Bronn: ohh right Sheena: which is a trained skill Bronn: i forgot we had that Streak (GM): You do a fantastic dance for the crowds. Isabel notices Zmey dancing Sheena: im gonna roll perception to see if i notice the sounds and such over the fireworks there are still fireworks right Streak (GM): In fact, their attention is drawn away from the nearby Moogle Bros., to you. Bronn stares down the nearby guard intently. Sheena: Sheena : Perception Check 8 well i notice jack shit Armored Guy: "Uh...hey there! Enjoyin' the festival?" Zmey: "The atmosphere! Hella festive!" Bogrir: "Hmph." "S'alright." Bronn: "What are you even guarding? There ain't nothing in the remote vicinity!"

Golurk: lets wait for the explosion Isabel: Oooh, food Isabel : Perception Check 5 Bogrir: yeah I favour waiting for explosions too Isabel: welp, I have no nose, apparently Streak (GM): You could also talk to the locals, and gather information Sheena: man we are digging the perception checks Streak (GM): Like, what is this festival even about?

I'm not from around here, could you tell me what this festival is about?" Orme: they are, in a word, rancid Tarutaru Priest: "Hmm? This is the Festival of the Lady, a yearly event held to sing praise to Althena, who's statue is said to grant protection and fortune to the city." Bronn: Bronn : Society Check 2 Sheena: bronn no Bronn: nope Zmey: Zmey : Influence Check 15 Isabel: Excellent as always, Bronn Bronn runs around, flipping off everyone in sight. Tarutaru Priest: "Are you not from around here?" Sheena: "Oh, of course! My village held our festival last month." Bogrir: are we still doing focus shifts or are we just doing w/e whenever? I lost track. Sheena: althena is my patron deity Tarutaru Priest: "Ah..." Sheena: so i assume my town is probably Pretty Into That Shit Picture: Streak (GM): Bronn, you talk to this guy. All the way over here. Sheena: streak is just kind of making us do things because we are doing nothing on our own Isabel: I kinda want to buy some cake Bronn: "Hey, uh, hunter man. What up with the lights and shit?" Isabel: I'm pretty sure this is a cake stall Sheena: bronn is a pottymouth Surprised Lad: "That SHEEP is MASSIVE. WHAT." "Oh my GOD." Bronn: "Ah, of course." Sheena is attracted by the HOT SHEEP Bronn: "Well have fun with your, uh." Sheena: "Holy shit" Bronn: "Clear mental problems." Zmey: (next time we do this we roll initiative) Streak (GM): Isabel rolled too right Isabel: (agreed) Sheena: yes Bogrir: (seconded) Bronn turns around and sees the mage behind him. Picture: Streak (GM): Isabel! You speak to this person. Isabel: Alright, no cake then Sheena: "I was pretty sure that was a statue..." Isabel: "Hello!" Well-Dressed Lady: "The Lady's Statue seems like it has always been there. No one knows who made it, but some think the city was built around it. The legends say that the statue has never come to harm, in fact, it's never even come under the threat of harm. Pretty amazing, huh?" Isabel: (I feel like I should know these people) Well-Dressed Lady: "Sorry, I just love talking." Isabel: "Oh, yeah, its rather impressive" Bronn: wait what statue the one in the fountain? Isabel: "Thats ok, you just caught me off guard" Well-Dressed Lady: "My friend here loves talking too." Sheena: i believe it was in the church we can't enter Bronn: oh right White Mage Girl: "Do you think I should join the church? I really like the robes..." Isabel: "Oh, yes you should" White Mage Girl: "Hey, you're an acolyte, aren't you?" Isabel: "Yep" White Mage Girl: "That is SUCH a nice robe." "Of course, the standard white mage robes are nice too..." Isabel gives a massive grin Picture: Sheena realizes that a scary guy with a spear has been staring at her for several minutes Zmey: take me to church ill worship like a mog Streak (GM): She continues for some time. Sheena: "Uh... hey there." Isabel: "Yeah, the robes are great" Streak (GM): Sheena and Bronn are speaking now! Isabel: "White and Red fit so well together" Streak (GM): Wow!! Bogrir: otp Bronn: "I don't think I've ever seen that kinda robe before. What's your name, little one?" Sheena: "Hey! I'm not that short!" Isabel: (Isn't Sheena your height, Bronn?) Zmey: (tl note: they are the same height) Bronn: yes thats the joke thank you Isabel: (oohhhhhh) Sheena: mhm Bronn: "Pretty sure most of your height is that hair, miss." Zmey: (dat napoleon complex) Sheena pouts Sheena: "I'm a blue mage, I'll have you know." Isabel: (Bronn isn't getting any ladies this festival) Bronn: "A what? Mages come in blue colors too?" Sheena: "I study monsters." anime sparkles Bogrir: quick question, how the italics? Sheena: asterisks Bronn: "Hey, what a coincidence! I kill monsters!" Sheep: "Baa." Zmey: otp otp Sheena: "I've often found that murder is the best form of research..." Bronn: "Finally, someone understands." Sheena: "Like this sheep, for instance." Isabel: (Well, since it may be awhile before the action, I'm going to get something to eat real quick) Bronn: "Hey uh, I think the animals like you." Isabel: (one moment) Sheena: "We all know they make wool, and whatnot." Sheena absent-mindedly scratches the sheep behind the ears Sheena: "But what do they look like on the inside?" Bronn: "Well here, let's get a closer look." Bronn : Athletics Check 28 Chickobo: "Kwee!" Bronn: HURF Sheena: o-o Picture: Bronn leaps up to the nearby outcropping. Farmer: "Hey!! If you wanted to ride the chocobos, you should've asked!" Bronn: "Nah, I'm just looking, don't worry." Streak (GM): He looks mad, more than amazed at your cool jumps. Sheena: he's Jump Jealous Bronn: "I don't really plan on hurting noone, not yet." Sheena: "Nice air, dude. Never seen anyone jump quite like that." Picture: Bronn: "SHIT" Streak (GM): A chocobo joins you. Bronn: "Whoa, uh, easy there big fella." Sheena: "Except... yeah, the chocobos." Zmey: (seduce the king chocobo) Bogrir: (brb, sorry) Streak (GM): He seems friendly! All chocobos are. Sheena: "Are you some sort of chocobo-man? Are you a superhero or something?" Streak (GM): It's a universal truth. Bronn reluctantly pats the chocobo on the head. Bronn: "Well, I don't mean to brag, but I am a member of the Wyrmsbane, some of the best fighters ever." Bronn flexes. Sheena: "ohoho" Sheena senses a business opportunity Sheena: "Say, would that sort of group... tend to do a lot of epic questing and such? Lots of travel, lots of fighting?" Zmey: (yes good) Bronn: "Oh yeah, tons. I mean, I haven't actually done any myself, but that's just cuz I'm new to this." "You know, the stabbing things." Sheena: "Are you hiring?" "I can get you a copy of my character sheet..." what 4th wall Bronn: "Hiring? Pshh, you don't get hired by the Wyrmsbane." Streak (GM): thats just what the call resumes here Bronn: "You gotta get selected, ya know?" Sheena: as i figured streak Bronn: Bronn : Athletics Check 25 Bronn leaps off the outcropping back next to Sheena. Sheena: "Aw psh, I didn't mean a permanent position. More of a... consulting thing, you know?" "Where's the rest of your group, anyway?" Bronn: "Well, I dunno. They told me to enjoy the festivities and meet back with them when I was done." Sheena: "Uh..." Streak (GM): Bronn! Bronn: uh hello Sheena: ?? Streak (GM): rolling 1d20+1 ( 12 )+1 = 13 Bronn: oh dear Sheena: the dice have come out o shit!!! Picture: Streak (GM): You notice a vicious Silver Lobo behind Sheena! Ah!! Bronn: "Whoa, shit! Move aside, lady." "I got this." Sheena: "What the-" Bronn whips out his glaive and bars it against his thigh. Streak (GM): On closer inspection, it appears to be playing with a large man. Aw, so cute! Sheena: "Aw, a puppy!!" Bronn: "Oh. False alarm, I guess." Orme: Orme : Perception Check 14 "Hey, what the-!" Picture: Sheena: "Hey mister, can I pet your dog?" Bronn: "(wanted to stab something man fuggin son of a cactuar)" Bogrir: Puppy! zooooom! lol Orme: "um, sure, I guess" Sheena: "Sick." Meruga slathers happily Bronn: "How the hell did you tame a lobo?" Sheena pets the shit out of the scary dog Moppy: "ah, that is rather a long story" Sheena: "Who's a cute little demonspawn?" mopp careful you switched nicks olo Streak (GM): He's got two characters Orme: sorry Streak (GM): its bound to happen Sheena: we'll fix it in post Orme: it's at the top of the list "but the short version is, I was attacked by her" Bronn: "... and then it became your friend." Sheena: Sheena : Lore (Monster Ecology 101) Check 12 Bronn crosses his arms and looks up at the giant man. Sheena: tell me everyhting i know about silver lobos Orme: "miraculously, yes! I can't quite explain how it happened, but we... connected in some way" Streak (GM): You know they use their large claws to attack. It's very painful. Sheena: anything about them being like territorial living in packs? Orme: "my home city was attacked by monsters, and I could tell this one was being controlled" Sheena: or do i not know Zmey: Zmey : Perception Check 7 Streak (GM): Like any wolf, Lobos tend to hunt in packs, yes. Sheena: "Aren't lobos normally part of packs?" Zmey looks around for any interesting happenings. Orme: "That is normally the case yes. They're very social animals, which means they're relatively easier to tame than other creatures." Streak (GM): Really, the Silver Lobo is very noticable. There aren't many Actual Monsters running around. Zmey sees the Lobo and the small crowd around it. Bronn glares down at the shiny canine. Sheena: "Others... Do you tame other things, too??" Bronn slowly leans down and pokes the lobo. Sheena: "That's so cool! Oh man..." Bogrir: You realise bogrir is just gonna pout because there isn't a pub around right Sheena: maybe bogrir heads towards the nearest pub and we all happen to walk that way anyway Streak (GM): Zmey, you can move to the crowd if you want, or continue dancing? Orme: "I've been trained in the arts of monster taming by Cam Sành. Have you heard of him?" Sheena: he puts up a classified ad asking for people to help him find rare metals Sheena : Society Check 10 good question im gonna say no "Can't say I have..." Bogrir: Bogrir : Knowledge-Local Check 11 where IS the nearest pub? Sheena: "I'm training in Blue Magic, but I haven't been able to find much in the way of historical texts." Orme: "oh dear, he's quite a famous Nu Mou druid around these parts" Bronn: Bronn : Society Check 12 Sheena: "I'm from a village a good ways off from here. Afraid I don't know my way around terribly well." Streak (GM): Bogrir: You should roll society instead. Bogrir: Bogrir : Society Check 19 much better GIMME DRINK! Bronn: "I haven't been here long, I don't know much about the people round these parts." Sheena: "Does he live near here? I'd love a chance to get to see more monsters up close and personal." Streak (GM): Bogrir spots a pub, and is about to leave, when Zmey stops dancing and walks towards an odd crowd. Bogrir: hint taken Streak (GM): You don't have to hehe Sheena: dwarf senses tingling Bogrir: 'Hm? That's a rather odd collection of people..." Streak (GM): They look like travellers, though. Orme: "Well if it's no trouble to you, I would happily show you both around town. I'm afraid I can't arrange a meeting with my master tonight, he is quite busy" Bogrir walks over to see what the commotion is about Streak (GM): They have the oddest outfits. Zmey: "Siiiiir!" Sheena: "Oh, that'd be great! I don't know how long I'll be stay- oh?" Orme: "I was, to be honest, turfed out tonigh-oh my, more guests" Streak (GM): The crowd murmurs with disappointment and returns to the performance of the Mog Bros. Zmey: "On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate my moves?" Isabel: (and back) Zmey: Zmey : Performance Check 12 Bronn: "Well I guess I ain't getting any rest any more." Bronn suddenly stares at the gria. Bronn: "Wait... the fuck?" Meruga is feeling uncomfortable from the large number of strangers pressing around her! Bogrir: "That's an impressive beast y'have there, mate." Picture: Streak (GM): Isabel can't help but notice the odd crowd that's gathered next to her. Especially since one of them is a giant silver lobo. Bogrir: (He's a natural dwarf buddy) Isabel: Isabel : Perception Check 12 Meruga makes a break for freedom Zmey: (why is everyone moving like chess pieces) Isabel: "Um, sir? I think your dog just ran" Zmey: "Oh!!" Bronn is staring very intently at Zmey. Sheena: "Come back, puppy!" Bogrir: "A feisty one, at that." Zmey: "Did I scare that sick dog away?" Meruga: "HEY! get back here! heel!" Zmey: oh Sheena chases after the dog who is calling herself to stay Orme: whoops Bronn slowly pulls his glaive out. Streak (GM): You'll get used to it. Bogrir: hang on Isabel: (The challenges of multi characters) Meruga: sniff Bogrir: Bogrir : Perception Check 3 Isabel: Isabel : Perception Check 11 Sheena: what are you all perceiving Bogrir: i don't hear that glaive at all eh w/e Isabel: Do I notice the glaive? Streak (GM): yes what are you all looking for Sheena: it's huge how coulld you not lol Zmey: a glaive is a giant weapon Bogrir: lookin in another directio Orme: "Oh no, I was hoping to keep her away from this part of town..." Bogrir: i rolled 3 lol Sheena: it's by no means concealed Streak (GM): isabel does, bogrir is distracted by balloons. Bronn: its a 6 foot long pole with a blade on the end Streak (GM): they're pink and shiny Isabel: "Hey? What's with the spear?" Streak (GM): Bronn seems wary of the Gria. Bogrir ponders the colour of orichalchum in the legends. Bronn: "Don't you worry miss, I got this handled." Isabel looks around, confused Streak (GM): Zmey notices. Isabel: "Take care of...what?" Sheena uhh Isabel eyes Bronn suspiciously Bronn: "Shhh, you'll scare it." Zmey: to Isabel "I don't think that dog like my arrangement" Meruga scents the giant sheep over the fence Zmey: +d Isabel looks where Bronn is looking Isabel sees Zmey Sheena rushes to catch the dog, but notices the rising volume from the conversation she's just left Isabel: "Um, yeah, I guess now" Sheena: "Er..." Isabel: not Mother Sheep: "BAA." Orme: "oh great! just great!" Isabel: "Err, I think that guy doesn't like you" Bronn levels his glaive, ready to strike. Bogrir: is something going on i didn't pick up on? Sheena: "Whoa, what!! Calm down!" Isabel: Isabel : Perception Check 7 Zmey: Zmey : Diplomatic Immunity Class : Dragon Herald Standard action. Free action to maintain. DC13 Will save or an attacker loses their action and can't attack the dragon herald for the performance + 1 round after. The bard can't attack during this performance. Isabel: wait, did I need to do that? Sheena: "You can't pull weapons in the town! We'll have guards all over us!" Streak (GM): Meruga has jumped over the fence. This is clearly more important than that other thing. Meruga snarls in righteous hunger Bronn: aw hell Isabel: "Put the Glaive away, sir!" Bronn: gonna make me do will saves Zmey: "Hello. What are you trying to do, young man?" Sheena: streak: which ones of us are focusing on meruga streak: just orme? Streak (GM): Yeah the rest left. Bronn: Bronn : Will Save 6 butts Meruga: if I don't muck up this WE check then it'll be fine Bronn: "Uh, I mean, well nothing, really." Bogrir: well bogrir tried to strike conversation but got distracted with balloons because of a glaive so uh heh Streak (GM): Looks like tensions are rising here. Bronn confusedly pulls his glaive up, wondering why he just pulled his glaive up. Streak (GM): Wouldn't want a fight to break out! Bogrir: Bogrir : Performance Check 7 Sheena: bogrir sings Bogrir: please tell me i notice SOMETHING of what's going on Isabel: I'm itching to fling some rocks Sheena: it's beautiful Streak (GM): Bogrir you see what's happening now. Zmey: "I would prefer not to waste my talents on commoners." Bogrir: and that is? :P Sheena: "Hey, wait!" Bogrir: enlighten bogrir he's apparently very daft Sheena: "Where are you going? I never got a chance to see your performance!" Streak (GM): Some kind of argument? You can't hear what's being said. Bronn: "Wait, why am I not stabbing you?" Sheena has no idea why bronn got all peeved Zmey makes a peace sign Bogrir: "What are ye folk doing, makin' a racket?" Moppy: (shall I just wait until this is done) Zmey: "I come in peace, silly!" Streak (GM): Okay, some quiet now Isabel: "I think this guy wants to stab this girl" Zmey: "Now put that down." Streak (GM): no really quit talking Sheena: "Yeah what's your problem dude?" Bogrir shuts up Zmey: "Everyone's supposed to be celebraaating!" Bronn: "What? No, you're a dragon and so I obviously need to kill you." Streak (GM): no litereally we're puasing Bronn: "Look, ya got the wings and everything!" oh Moppy: TIME OUT Isabel: (paused) CRASH Isabel: (uh oh) Bogrir: BSOD Bronn looks up, confused. Sheena: streak you've timed out of irc Isabel: (music is changing) Zmey: Zmey : Perception Check 13 Isabel: Isabel : Perception Check 11 Music: Streak (GM): You hear a loud crash, coming from the north. Bronn: Bronn : Perception Check 2 Streak (GM): No you all hear it it's really loud Bronn: no i dont Streak (GM): even him Bogrir: lol Bronn: are you sure about this Sheena: guys generally the dm will tell you when to make perception checks Zmey: "What in the world?" Sheena: just fyi Bogrir: "What in the blazes was that?!" Isabel: "What was that?" Streak (GM): Turning your head upwards, you see a massive suit of Magitek heading north, past the stairs. Sheena: anything obvious like a loud noise is automatic Isabel: "It sounded like...oh no" "The church!" Sheena gasps Streak (GM): You are all drawn to turn the corner and look. Meruga is distracted from eating the giant sheep by the noise Streak (GM): Your eyes are drawn north, and you feel a strange sensation. It's a calm, that washes over you, despite the panic that's ahppening with the crowds. Then. You believe someone is asking for help, although you heard no words. This all comes to you in perfect clarity. From the north. Over those stairs. Streak (GM): You snap out of it. You notice more suits have attacked the surrounding area, as well. The people have scattered, and the guards are engaging them, protecting the citizens. But what will you do? Isabel: "I gotta go!" Zmey: "My Zmey sense is tingling...." Isabel: (we roll initiative?) Bronn: "Alright, action! Time to kill things!" Zmey: I draw my bow. Isabel: (I work at that church. I have a reason to rush to it) Bogrir just rushes into action with no catchphrase. Streak (GM): The desire to chase the larger suit is strong, still. Bronn readies his glaive again, still not sure why he put it away." Bogrir: I draw my warhammer. Isabel pulls out her Earth Rod Streak (GM): Go north! By yourselves Orme: "Meruga, Come!" Sheena runs after everyone Sheena: "Hey, wait up!!" Meruga is already here Streak (GM): The guards that were at the stairs have left to fight the other suits Isabel: "Out of my way! Acolyte coming through!" Streak (GM): (right everyone gether at the stairs) Sheena: "Miss? How can I help? Do you know where it's going?" Bronn stumbles his way up the carpet strewn across the staircase. Orme: "this feeling... it's like how I felt when I met you..." Bronn: "No questions, killing time!" Isabel: "I don't know what's happening, but its bad" Meruga: growl Zmey: "You're all coming too?" Isabel tries to open the doors Zmey: "What is going on..." Streak (GM): (there's no doors) (one sec) Sheena: "Did you guys all feel that... that thing?" Isabel: oh Bogrir: "Hm, I certainly felt it." Sheena: i assume we're all saying this as we run like proper animes Bogrir: yeah Orme: "without a doubt" Zmey: "There was disturbance in the force." Bogrir: but like a proper anime Streak (GM): Ahead! Bogrir: running takes just enouh tiem for the dialogue Isabel: Isabel : Perception Check 11 Bronn: "Ey miss, you shouldn't stand so far ah-" Isabel: (I'm my defense...oh jeeze) Sheena: "Look out!" Zmey: "Whoa!" Isabel stumbles Picture: Streak (GM): You see it ahead, a large suit of magitek has crashed near a beautiful statue. Isabel: "What the..." Bronn: "WHAT THE BLEEDING MALBORO IS THAT" Sheena: "Oh god, the statue! My goddess!" Orme: "well... that's definitely a robot" Streak (GM): Sparks are flying off of it, and it turns to face you. Bogrir: My time to shine, hwo do i examine this piece of technoloy? Isabel looks up at it Streak (GM): (position yourselves more appropriately) Bronn: "Oi robed lady, get away from that thing!" Sheena: i think wed all be familiar with magitek armor? Streak (GM): (i mean did you really run right up to it) Sheena: at least a bit? Bronn: well Sheena: isabel get back a bit Zmey: "Can someone help me out here, what is that giant metal dog??" Bronn: i dont know about bronn Isabel: "You...you whatever you are, don't even try it" Orme: "miss, you really are far too close!" Isabel: (I was there when it landed) Streak (GM): rolling 1d20+3 ( 20 )+3 = 23 Bronn: well thats unfortunate Bogrir: oh boy Streak (GM): Roll initiative! Zmey: Zmey : Initiative Check 10.04 Bronn: Bronn : Initiative Check 3.02 Isabel: Isabel : Initiative Check 7.01 Bronn: WHY Bronn : Initiative Check 15.02 Sheena: Sheena : Initiative Check 12.02 Bogrir: Bogrir : Initiative Check 11 Isabel: Dang it bronn, now is not the time to trip Bronn: er sorry Orme: um um um Sheena: you can't double check Bronn: i know Sheena: haxxor Bronn: i didnt mean to can we manually alter the counter Bogrir: why am i not in the list?

Zmey: feexed Bogrir: yes so Bronn: streak i rolled a 3 Streak (GM): right Bronn: i should be last Sheena: "Let's find out!" Streak (GM): that's fixed Bogrir: "All dwarves can fight!" Zmey: "I'm fairly sure I've had combat training!" Orme: Orme : Initiative Check 19 Bronn: thank you Streak (GM): no but really Sheena is having more fun than she should Streak (GM): is isabel actually standing there Bronn: hey theres an actual roll Isabel turns back to the suit Sheena: streak: i believe that's intentional Orme: Meruga : Initiative Check 9.02 Sheena: she ran too fast Bronn: "Alright, let's get this over with!" Isabel: (Yeah, me being here is intentional) Streak (GM): The suit whirrs and clanks, moving very strangely. Bronn: also mopp didnt initiative right Sheena: no he just did Isabel: (I work here, after all) Sheena: add him on streak and his little dog toto too Bogrir: meruga did Orme: "Stay close to me Meru. this isn't something we've fought before" Sheena: he got a 19 meru got a 9 Isabel: Meruga got 9 Zmey: they use whichever is higher Bronn: what a busy initiative tracker really fancy Orme: really? neat Streak (GM): right! yeesh Sheena: well that's done finally fight Isabel: I swear if I go down turn one...I would not be surpirsed Streak (GM): The Armor starts to move. Sheena: "Hey you! Get out of the temple!" Sheena sounds sorta lame but she tried Orme: "This isn't good, the mage is in the path of my sling" Meruga whimpers in fear Zmey: "This machine seriously does not fit the regal aesthetic of this place." Sheena: move action and an attack action bro Streak (GM): It tries to attack Isabel, but it's arm locks up, and electricity flares off it. Sheena: you can hop and pop!! Isabel: To Zmey: "You're not seriously think about that, are you?" Sheena: bogrir make a technology check Streak (GM): You hear an odd noise within, like a creature yelping. Sheena: maybe you know how damaged it is? Streak (GM): Orme's turn. Bogrir: i thought i needed to wait my turn Zmey: "By that, I mean let's take this mother down!!" Orme gasps Sheena: nah talking is a free action Bogrir: no for tech check Bronn: checks arent Sheena: balderdash Bronn: no thats a website Sheena: shh Streak (GM): Orme is that your entire turn, gasping? I'll take it. Sheena: snrk Bronn: he moved up to the armor Orme: oh give me a moment!! Zmey: (gratuitous german) Streak (GM): :B Take your time. This is the first fight, get used to things and whatnot. Orme: Orme : Quarterstaff Attack 22 Damage 7 Type Bludgeoning 6.5 damage instead if used off-hand. Bogrir: >hears yelp inside >bashes thing Zmey: how did it decimal Bogrir: :P Bronn: WHAP Sheena: "Sock it to him, gramps!!" Orme: "hah! I'll free you yet!" Streak (GM): You attack the armor with your staff. CLANG! Isabel: "Free? Free what?" Streak (GM): The armor looks mostly unfazed, but you did shake it a little. Sheena: "There's something stuck in there!!" "The pilot!" Bogrir: thought onyl orme heard that? Orme: "didn't you hear?!" Bogrir: only* Sheena: i thought we all heard the shriek or w/e if only he hears it it'd be a whisper from streak to him i think Bogrir: oh ok Streak (GM): Then it's Sheena's turn, right? Sheena: that seems like a good way to do it in future if not Bogrir: good to know Sheena: "So we're trying to smash this thing open, huh? Okay, let me give it a go!" Bogrir: "By all means, lass." Sheena: Sheena : Magic Missile (Wind Staff) Attack 10 Damage 5 Ranged Notes : we can always dream Type Magical Ranged Touch Attack, Wind Element oog it's immobilized, does that help my case Streak (GM): how is it immobilised Sheena: i thought you said it like fell over Bogrir: it's malfunctioning but certainly mobile Streak (GM): no that was just fluff Sheena: aw, titties. Streak (GM): sorry Sheena: wait that's canon "Aw, titties." Bronn: pfff Zmey: "Where!" Streak (GM): You windy blast dissipates with no effect as it hits the armor. That's your entire turn, right? Sheena: "Sorry guys, wind's not much good against metal and stuff." Bronn: "Air? Really?" Sheena: "Look, it works a lot better on goblins!" yes streak Streak (GM): Then it's Zmeys turn! Orme: "We need to get this over with before it gathers its wits and shoots us all!" Zmey: "Time... to take the stage!" Zmey : Minor Aura: Demand Fortitude Class : Dragon Herald Swift action. Free action to dismiss/swap. +3 to Fortitude saves for allies within 15 ft. Streak (GM): Btw future note, say when you move, so I know you meant it or w/e. Sheena: ok Orme: kk Sheena: i stepped towards the robutt for future reference Picture: Streak (GM): Zmey begins a lovely tune, you all feel foritified! Well, some of you Sheena: yeah right there Streak (GM): okay, all of you. Isabel: "Thanks!" Streak (GM): the piss aura is strong Zmey: Zmey : Inspire Courage Class : Dragon Herald Standard action. Free action to maintain. +1 morale bonus to saving throws vs. charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. Sheena: what does she play? ooh two songs Zmey: Naw I dance Bronn feels conflicted. Isabel: Is Bronn falling in love with a dragon? Sheena: an unlikely romance Bronn: also how did zmey go before bogrir Isabel: That'd be hillarioius Sheena: (shit) Bogrir: oh good question Zmey: "May my charming arrangement aid you in knocking that thing down!" Bogrir: let's just ignore that Zmey: End of turn Streak (GM): fffUCK Isabel: Bogrir is a gentlemanly dwarf Streak (GM): why doesn't it auto sort Sheena: we'll just roll with it no pun intended Streak (GM): sorry :B Sheena: it's for the best Bogrir: lol i didn't notice Sheena: now he's buffed Bogrir: yes Streak (GM): Bogrir's turn! Bogrir: right so uh Sheena: mentally add +1 to ur attack rolls guys Bogrir: how do this Sheena: id move up to him first assuming you're gonna melee Bogrir: can i go near and whack it with a power attack Sheena: yeah Bogrir: is that how it works, move then full actions Sheena: i think you can do it in either order? Bogrir: i mean move action then full/standard or w/e Isabel: Full actions take the entire turn Sheena: no a full action is the whole turn Orme: how do I account for temp stat changes Sheena: so if a power attack is a full action you have to stand there for the whole turn Zmey: you cant do anything with a full action right now anyhow Sheena: orme: mentally Orme: bugh Streak (GM): I can take note. Orme: thanku Bogrir: it's a feat not an action Sheena: a feat you perform as an action Streak (GM): yes but is it a standard action or a full action it'll say in the description of the feat Bogrir: nethys doesn't say anythin about it Bronn: its just an addendum to a normal melee attack Zmey: yee Bogrir: i just have to use it before an attack yeah Sheena: ot Bogrir: it's not an action Bronn: move up to the robo and use a melee attack Sheena: i looked it up Bronn: yeah you like Sheena: yeah it's a free action Bronn: declare it Sheena: to switch between power and regular Bogrir: riht so Bronn: im making a power attack, now i am doing it Bogrir: can i move up to it? Streak (GM): sure Sheena: yeah Streak (GM): you can move 4 squares or 20ft Bogrir: right in front of it then Sheena: or you could flank near bronn Bronn: well hed be flanking Sheena: i think we're flanking it pretty hard already Bronn: no matter where he got to Bogrir: ok yes to the side leave more room for flanking Sheena: flank flank flank Bogrir: i declare power attack now tell me how to roll this correctly Sheena: one two three four i declare a power attack brb food Bogrir: "I'm gonna knock this thing wide open!" Bronn: well its a normal melee plus 1, plus 2, minus 1 1 from inspire courage, 2 from flanking, down one from power attack Bogrir: yeah Bronn: so a net +2 to whatever your normal attack roll is Bogrir: and then damage roll is separate? Streak (GM): so +6 Bronn: yes Streak (GM): it is Bronn: the damage roll is separate and has none of those changes but it does get a +2 from power attack Streak (GM): 1d8+5 then Bogrir: You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks to gain a +2 bonus on all melee damage rolls. Bronn: yes Bogrir: yeah Streak (GM): go ahead and roll, then! Bogrir: rolling 1d8+5 ( 5 )+5 = 10 Bronn: well roll to hit first Bogrir: make up your minds :P Sheena: hell of a hit if you land it Streak (GM): yeah, 1d20+6 first Bogrir: rolling 1d20+6 ( 5 )+6 = 11 Bronn: whelp Sheena: oh Bogrir: mmmmmm that sucks Isabel: Its big, so maybe? Bronn: nah thats not how it works Streak (GM): Clong! Your hammer hits off the armor, and no effect is made. Bronn: being big is factored into its AC Orme: dodge or tank it don't matter Bogrir: note that at the end of my turn (which is now) power attack disenaes Bronn: disengages? Bogrir: yeah lol that one Streak (GM): Meruga's turn Bronn: oh man am i actually going to get a turn Isabel: "Go doggy, go!" Bronn: i figured this thing would be dead before i went Isabel: Meruga could pull through for us Meruga is frightened by the clanking, sparking monstrosity! Bogrir: yeah seriously Meruga turns to run Bogrir: 20+6... 11. Bah! Sheena: lol Zmey: nerd! Bronn: you were saying Streak (GM): Yep, Meruga is not trained to attack something like that. Isabel: "No! Come back!" Bronn: an entirely reasonable reaction though Orme: "she isn't trained to fight constructs..." Zmey: "That sick dog is afraid of the large, metal dog." Bronn sighs, looking after the fleeing canine. Bogrir: i forgot to do a tech check goddamnit Isabel: "Well...good to know, I guess" Sheena: "Er... I don't believe that's a dog." Streak (GM): what is a check anyway, a standard? swift?? Bronn: free for most checks Sheena: SEE Streak (GM): just on your turn then Bronn: but its weird in that you can only make them on your turn some checks are actually swift like heal and whatnot Streak (GM): well go ahead and roll it bogrir Bronn: yeah make a tech roll Streak (GM): technology is on the adventuring skills tab at the bottom Bogrir: Bogrir Check 14 I'm trying to analyze it as much as possible Isabel: Can I make that check? Streak (GM): You see that this armor is very well made, and in very good condition. In fact, it looks brand new! Sheena: oh ive got tech ranks now too should i check as well Zmey: "Training You cannot make an untrained Knowledge check with a DC higher than 10." btw Streak (GM): It is however, overloading with electricity. Bogrir: "This thing is brand new, why is it malfunctioning like this?" Streak (GM): You also notice that the pilot seat is empty. Curious. Isabel: Electric is weak to rock, right? Zmey: no Sheena: i sorta wish we'd noticed this sooner Streak (GM): That's logical! Bogrir: "This machine is overloaded with juice, but there ain't no-one inside!" Streak (GM): Well, magitek is weird, who even knows where the pilot goes. Isabel: Is that a knowledge check me, then? for me Bronn: lightning is weak to earth Streak (GM): Right, Isabels turn Sheena: just shoot the damn thing Streak (GM): what are you checking, sorry Sheena: lol Isabel: Checking if I know that rock is strong against electric Zmey: "So now you know what's wrong with that dog???" Isabel: or if this thing is weak to rock Zmey: earth Streak (GM): hmm what kind of check is that... Sheena: if you don't have tehcnology ranks Bogrir: knowledge (nature)? Zmey: knowledge arcana Sheena: you would have no way of knowing what this thing's weaknesses are Isabel: dang it Sheena: or if it's actually electrically attuned to be more specific i think you could certainly assume that it is tho Zmey: yeah electricity=/=lightning magic Bogrir: how the fuck do you all know so much about this Bronn: arcana is uh spellcraft now Sheena: and it'd be common knowledge to a mage how elements work Isabel: I could try Spellcraft this thing is magic, right? Sheena: i think you really dont need to check for that you could just assume Bronn: yeah i mean youd obviously know that earth magic is strong against lightning magic Zmey: thats magic 101 Sheena: earth > lightning Bronn: but whether or not this thing is lightning magic would need a check Streak (GM): Okay sure, let's assume she does know the basics of magic. Sheena: agreed bronn Streak (GM): Earth beats Shock! Isabel: I should hope I know the basics Streak (GM): What would you like to do now, then? Zmey: but first step away since that thing can reach you Streak (GM): I would take that advice. Isabel: Ok Streak (GM): You should use your 5ft step Picture: Isabel: 5 ft step, then Streak (GM): to avoid an attack of opportunity from the magitek Sheena: bogrir: ive been playing tabletops since age 5 haha Streak (GM): You've hopped back Bogrir: yeah i was gonna say, i'm older than many of you, where is this knowledge coming from lol Isabel: Can I roll Spellcraft to learn anything about this? Streak (GM): You could try. Isabel: If its a free action, then I will Orme: this is Streak (GM): I can't guarentee it'd do anything though. Bronn: yeah ive been playing pathfinder for a while now Orme: not my evening Bronn: just a few years though Sheena: D: Zmey: i am a hoarder of pdfs i know my stuff Isabel: Is Spellcraft check a free action? Streak (GM): yeah Isabel: ok then Streak (GM): for knowledging yes Sheena: you ok mopp? Orme: not really Bogrir: knowludgeoning Isabel: Isabel : Spellcraft Check 16 Orme: I have had to move the laptop in front of the toilet to keep up Zmey: D: Sheena: :( Bogrir: :/ sorry to hear man Sheena: orme vs bowels Bogrir: hope you settle down soon Isabel: hang in there, mopp Orme: you keep going, I have my throne Streak (GM): You feel the presence of a Magicite inside the machine. It's an odd signal, though. Sheena: neato Bogrir: Cool magic parasite? Isabel: "There's Magicite in this thing, but its not quite right" Streak (GM): This thing is mostly non magical though, that is very clear. Isabel: "I think that might be what's wrong" Zmey: "Oh, magicite. I've heard of that" Bogrir: "Er, what is a magicite?" Streak (GM): Isabel, you still have a standard action. Isabel: ok... Since I have no idea bout this things weaknesses, I'll just go straight for Light Streak (GM): (i mean i think technically i was meant to use detect magic there but oops) Sheena: magic vs the machine Isabel: So, roll or no roll?

Sheena: haha Bogrir: if only i would've bashed it with my hammer properly Sheena: fortitude save? or is it dazzled do robots get fortitude saves Isabel: "Eat light, you hunk of scrap!" Sheena: they might be immune to status Bronn: some statuses, yes Orme: no look Orme: at that little red pip Bronn: robots have immunity to a ton of statuses because they are robots Isabel: The machine dazed!

Bronn: actually you know what i can get next to orme with that lets do that Orme: "please don't land on me" Isabel: "Woah!" Bogrir: cool Isabel: "You gotta teach me how to do that" Bronn squats and then leaps into the sky, flipping over the robot. Sheena: oh did we remember the plus 1 damage from the aura of magical dance Bronn: Bronn : Melee Attack Check 8 WHY Sheena: on that last spell Streak (GM): does that affect spells Bronn: it doesnt no Orme: I know know the curse of the Random Number God Sheena: i think it would affect the to hit but not hte damage now tha tyou mention it Bronn: why would it give me a 3 Sheena: owell Bronn: you cruel, cruel game Isabel: Well, you guys have fun with the robot Bronn: i mean i do get a +2 to that does an 11 hit Streak (GM): Bronn's attack misses completely!

Isabel: Maybe it had the power to kill me, but didn't Sheena: orme you hit it too remember Orme: I didn't hurt it did i? Sheena: i thought you did cracked it pretty good Isabel: You did a little Zmey: "Look like Buffy the Dragon Slayer's all jump and no bite." +s Orme: oh ok Streak (GM): The robot turns to face Bogrir.

Streak (GM): A light flashes from the cannon, and a large beam of blue shoots forth! Isabel: "It was you who jumped there" Sheena: "Focus on the giant robot, dummies!!" Streak (GM): PWSHHH. Sheena: "Oh god!" Streak (GM): Roll Fort save please, Bogrir Isabel covers her face Bogrir: i don't get to even try t ododgE? Zmey: thats your dodge Bogrir: Bogrir : Fortitude Save 10 Sheena: fortitude save as dodge? weiiird Bogrir: +1 from the thing right Sheena: +3 inspire fortitude Zmey: yeah!

His ninja skill will save him Sheena: the +1 is only to attacks i think Bogrir: yes Streak (GM): wasn't the +1 to saves as well are they the same type though Sheena: is it?? Orme: yeah it was saves Sheena: hmmMM? Bogrir: no wit it's for reflex Isabel: Wait, why is this Fort? Zmey: should i press my macro at the beginning of everyone's turn since they're ongoing effects Orme: yes Streak (GM): It's fort. Isabel: alright then Bogrir: my deft dodger adds nothing so 10 +.. how much Isabel: 3? Streak (GM): 3 we'll say Bogrir: ok so 10+3 pls tell me i escape Streak (GM): You save, and guard yourself from the oncoming blast of water. Isabel: "Water?" Orme: "water? from a robot?!" Streak (GM): rolling 2d6 ( 6 + 4 ) = 10 You take 5 damage. Sheena: blastoise Bogrir: "Ye can't scare a dwarf with a bit o' drizzle!" Zmey: "A foul archerfish." Bogrir: "Also ouch!" Bronn: "... wait, what?" Sheena: "Cool!" can i make a check to learn how to do that Streak (GM): The suit hops down a bit. Sheena: streak: you need to look it up in the monster manual and tell me if it's a thing i can learn i think Streak (GM): You can't, sorry. Sheena: shit! "I have no idea how it did that." Streak (GM): Oh Isabel: "Probably some kind of water magic" Streak (GM): sorry i forgot something Sheena: "Could it be that magicite you mentioned sensing?" Streak (GM): It didn't move. Bogrir: forgot to bonk Bogrir some more Sheena: "Maybe it's draining power from it... or something." bonkrir hehe Isabel: "Maybe, I'll try to get a better look" Streak (GM): Upon releasing the Water Beam... Bogrir: lol Streak (GM): The electricity inside flares up even more Sheena: D: Isabel: Oh dear Streak (GM): Suddenly, out the side, pops a yellow blob! Sheena: WHAT Zmey: "This smells horrid!" Bogrir: seriously? yellow blob/ Sheena: it's jigglypuff Streak (GM): Sheena instantly recognises it as a Thunder Flan, and its face is snarling with anger. Zmey: its pikachu Bogrir: it better not be magicite excrement Sheena: "Thunder flan!!" "Look out guys!!" Flanitek Armor: "SCREEE." Zmey: "The culprit shows its face." Isabel: "Thunder Flan?" Zmey: oh i see it Streak (GM): The flan is sticking out! Zmey: was it there all along Sheena: "It's a lightning ooze!" Bogrir: is bogrir supposed to know what that is? Orme: it was right there the whole time Bronn: i uh, dont see it Streak (GM): Orme's turn! Bronn: is it on the map? Isabel: "Ooooh wait, Thunder! I have an Earth Rod!" Orme: yes left shoulder of the robot Bronn: oh pfff Streak (GM): see here i thought that would givie it away no one noticed. Bronn: nope Zmey: our real life perceptions are really low Sheena: im zoomed way out Bronn: yeah im zoomed to like 30% Orme: just thought it was half-melted robot shoulder, sir Sheena: i assumed it was a machiney thing yeah Streak (GM): So yeah, its sticking out the top now, having overloaded itself. Bogrir: i don't even know what a thunderflan is, and also that sprite lacks the detail to show me that it's in fact a blob sorry Sheena: "It must have been controlling the suit!" Isabel: Fire everything! "Fire everything at it!" Sheena: bogrir: it's jsut the final fantasy name for "sentient evil ooze with lightning themed powers" Orme: "how could a mere flan control a mech?" Zmey: "It looks... kinda cute" Sheena: "That's... that's a good question." "Let's ask!" Isabel: "You can worry about that later" Orme: "I wish I had a moment's time to study it!" Bronn: (orme its your turn) Sheena: "Hey flanny guy! How were you doing that??" Orme: right Streak (GM): Flans don't speak Common. Bronn glares down the new thing to stab. Sheena: "I thought it was pretty cool!" Orme: I have a sling, do I have a minimum range? Sheena is not aware of this. Isabel: (what do flans speak?) Sheena thinks the flan is just rude Streak (GM): Yes, you can't really attack close up, I think. Bogrir: "Yer only going to aggravate it more, lass." Orme: and what kind of action is hosltering a weapon? Bronn: move Isabel: "Uhh, Blue Mage? I don't think it knows what you're saying" Sheena: "Aw, you're right." Bronn: provokes AoOs Streak (GM): you can drop it as a free though Sheena: "Rude." Orme: right then Bronn: yep Streak (GM): or step back then do it Sheena: "We can figure it out once we kill it!" "Oh well~" Orme: I drop my staff, and back up 20 feet, then load my sling Zmey: is the flan treated as a separate creature Streak (GM): It is Zmey: aoo Bronn: yeah thats an aoo Sheena: u gon get aood son Streak (GM): yeah, you have to 5ft step back to avoid getting hit instead of moving fully Orme: "I'm going to try and knock it off, Please stay clear of the firing line!" oh, me? Zmey: he dont care Sheena: yeah you cant run back or it'll slap you Zmey: large man strong Streak (GM): do you really need to move back that far Orme: ok Streak (GM): if you do you can risk it Sheena: is your minimum 15 feet or 10 if it's 10 you can just sidestep towards isabel and be fine Orme: I honestly don't know Sheena: or you can hit it with the staff that might work better if you can reach the flan Isabel: HE might be able to Streak (GM): you can attack from there just fine i believe Isabel: he's taller than all of us Streak (GM): you can't actually ack though attack* Zmey: ack Streak (GM): you have to draw the sling and that takes time Orme: draw, load, fire what use is ranged Isabel: Magic Bronn: well its pretty useful when you already have it out Streak (GM): you can load it though so you do that Bronn: besides draw/load/fire is a standard action usually Streak (GM): is it Orme: yeah so I step back a bit and load the sling Bronn: unless slings work like firearms for some reason Orme: dropping staff Bronn: reloading is a free action Orme: next to bronn Zmey: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/weapons/weapon-descriptions/sling Bogrir: brb Bronn: well then Streak (GM): okay, you load it Bronn: reloading is a move action Streak (GM): but thats all turn over Orme: yah Streak (GM): aint this fun, rules Isabel: We'll figure it out eventually Streak (GM): Sheena, you're up. Orme: it'd be better if we had an infinite canvas to type on Streak (GM): The flan is still sticking out! Isabel: moidur it Streak (GM): twiddle dee Bronn: uh phoone Flanitek Armor: twiddle dum Bronn: flanitek Zmey: At Sheena "You sound like an expert, how do you think that ooze got here?" Bronn: beautiful Flanitek Armor: did you really not notice the name either Zmey: tragically beautiful Orme: I did but declined to mention anything it was too awful Isabel: Calling professor phoone. Come in professor phoone Flanitek Armor: aw shucks i sprited the flan bit by myself btw its based on the ff13 flans because they're the best ones Zmey: qtpi Flanitek Armor: the armor bit is directly from FF6 of course Sheena: sorry back Bronn: how do you see the name Streak (GM): In the turn order? Bronn: i didnt see it anywhere until you impersonated it i dont see it on the turn order Zmey: it talked before "talked" Bronn: anyway phoone go Isabel: I didn't see the name either Sheena: yeah on the turn order it's just blank alrighty then Isabel: it might be hidden Streak (GM): Sheena! It's sticking out still. Sheena: air isn't resisted by electricity if i remember right so im gonna Isabel: "Knock that thing off!" Sheena cracks knuckles Sheena: "Engulfing Winds!" Sheena : Engulfing Winds School Enfeebling/Elemental (Wind); Level Blue Mage 1 Casting Time 1 standard action Components 0 Range 30 ft. Effects/Target 1 creature Duration Instant Saving Throw Fort halves DC 15 Spell Resistance Yes The target of this spell takes 14 points of wind damage and is inflicted with the Squalled status for 1 rounds. A successful Fortitude save reduces this damage by half and prevents the status effect from taking effect. Learned From : Hobgoblin Bronn: yikes Orme: yes! Isabel: wow Bronn: man that is scary Isabel: does it hit? Sheena: it's a terrifyingly strong spell it ALWAYS hits Isabel: Oh...ohhhhh Sheena: relatively easy fort save tho Streak (GM): It's a direct hit! Yeowch! Bits of the flan fly off in every direction, and the creature itself screams louder than before Sheena: re: zmey im gonna make a lore check Bronn: but Sheena: see what i know about flans and their Ecology Bronn: fort save Isabel: "Yeahaha!! That was awesome!" Streak (GM): I rolled it already Sheena: oh yeah is it squalled Streak (GM): it is Bronn: oh you rolled it Sheena: sick Streak (GM): can someone check whta that does Zmey: whats squalled http://www.finalfantasyd20.com/ffd20/status-effects.html Orme: "that was a beautiful hit, miss!" Zmey: put this in the journal Sheena: Squalled: Wind surrounds the character's body, making it difficult to concentrate and to make ranged weapon attack rolls. Characters that are inflicted with this status effect suffer a -2 penalty to Concentration checks and -1 penalty to ranged weapon attack rolls. This effect lasts for 1 round and then the wind dies down. Sheena takes a little bow Orme: it turns you into a brooding teenage man with a leather jacket Streak (GM): However, your attack has disappointed the electric that was making it pop out, and it pops back in. er Sheena: disappointing electric Streak (GM): dissipated* Bogrir: lol Isabel: "Hey! Get back out here!" Zmey: dissapoint Bogrir: 2am GM Sheena: Sheena : Lore (Monster Ecology 101) Check 15 Streak (GM): The suit whirrs back to its usual movement. Sheena: what do i know about flanws -w just flans Zmey: wait does your lore apply to everything Sheena: habitats i would know if it should live around here or not it's only common shit too like flans Isabel: interesting data Zmey: hmhmm Sheena: that we would recognize on sight Streak (GM): Electric flans don't usually live in cities, actually, so this is kind of odd. Als, dlans are delicious. They're used in all kinds of meals. Also, flans* Isabel: flan flan Bogrir: mmm, custard flantasy flan Sheena: "I don't know much about flans but I do know they shouldn't live around here." Isabel: Bronn can cook, right? Sheena: "Also I am pretty sure we can eat that." Streak (GM): Sheena, is that your full turn? Sheena: yes Zmey: "I was gonna shoot it with a bow, but it seems it had other flans." Isabel: "We can eat that?" Streak (GM): okay, Zmey's go. Orme: "I'm not sure I would want to eat something that discharges electricity on a whim." Isabel thinks for a bit Sheena: "Hey jumpy guy, you got a little on your shoulder. How's it taste?" Isabel: "Sure, why not?" Bogrir: "When it's no longer screeching, perhaps, lad?" Sheena understands the pun Sheena: "Oh my god" Zmey: "Do flans eat anything? Can we lure it out?" Orme: "that's no guarantee, sir. Many creatures retain their volatile properties after death." Sheena: "I haven't the foggiest idea, I'm afraid." Streak (GM): This is a heck of a conversation. Bogrir: Food Bronn: "Actually, yellow flans aren't particularly edible. You need to melt them or perhaps braise them first, and then you can eat them properly." Bogrir: the best social bridge Bronn coughs a bit. Streak (GM): The fight??? Guys??? Sheena: im dying Isabel: Isabel likes food Sheena: you got us started on food Isabel: who can blame her Zmey: I maintain my performance Zmey : Inspire Courage Class : Dragon Herald Standard action. Free action to maintain. +1 morale bonus to saving throws vs. charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls. Streak (GM): The magitek looks very interested in this culinary discourse. Zmey: and um Isabel: "Wait, spear guy, do you know how to cook?" Orme: the fortitude thing Sheena: "I really hope it doesn't know that we were just talking about eating it..." Sheena suddenly gets self conscious Bronn: "Well, my parents were both chefs, so... kind of?" "Also the name's Bronn miss, I'd rather not be called spear guy." Sheena: fight the robot Isabel: To Bronn: "Oh, cool" Bogrir: well we gotta kill it before we eat it, so Zmey: Zmey : Minor Aura: Demand Fortitude Class : Dragon Herald Swift action. Free action to dismiss/swap. +3 to Fortitude saves for allies within 15 ft. Orme: "could we save the banter for when our lives aren't at risk?" Sheena: "Oh, I don't even know half your names!" "Where are my manners!" Isabel: "So, hey Bronn, I'm Isabel" Streak (GM): Okay, any moving? Bogrir: NOW? introductions, now? Bronn puts his glaive down and casually leans on it. Sheena: "We've charged into battle together, and I haven't even introduced myself!" mid-fight oh my god this guy Isabel: To Orme: "Oh, sorry" Bronn: "Well hello Isabel, nice to meet you!" Zmey: Can I... target the flan with a spell Sheena: inside the armor? Zmey: it's hiding so Bogrir stares at Bronn, wide eyed. Streak (GM): It's inside the machine, so probably not. Sheena: depends on the spell Bogrir: "Get yer priorities straight, laddy!" Orme: "it's fine, miss" Sheena: if it's like a mind influencing thing or something else that doesn't need line of sight probably would still work Bronn: "No need to be rude my hammery friend!" Orme: "i'm rather flustered by this myself. It's understandable that we'd all act a little crazy." Streak (GM): oh my GOD Zmey: i hate this Isabel: Poor Streak Sheena: "Alright, let's just take this thing down, and we can grab drinks after, alright?" Zmey: I shoot at the armor Streak (GM): i mean i guess this is a good time since ill be tallking your ear off later Isabel: "Yeah. Alright, lets fight first, talk later" Sheena: "I am saying alright a lot. Alright." Bronn: streak this is precisely what being a gm is Orme: "gladly!" Bronn: learn to love the pain Zmey: "Looks like I have no choice." Zmey : Branch Bow Attack 12 Damage 2 Type Piercing Ow! Splinter... Sheena: streak in 4 sessions you'll have to force us to talk Bronn: "Well alright, I probably should deal with this." man we are just Zmey: +1 +1 this sucks Bronn: incapable of hitting this thing with physical attacks Sheena: this is what happens when you make the first fight a robot!! Streak (GM): It hits, actually. Sheena: robots are a pain in the ass to fight!!!! Isabel: Its AC is 13! Bronn: a 12? what! Sheena: no it's +2 Bogrir: +1 +1 Sheena: so a 14 Streak (GM): 14 Bronn: oh Isabel: Or 14, sorry Bronn: i was going to say Isabel: We've learned something Sheena: what 4th wall Streak (GM): However, the arrow pings off its armor, without even denting it. Sheena: shit Streak (GM): Bogrir! Bronn: man dat DR doe Isabel: crap, piercing resist Zmey: "Who brought this creature here..." Bogrir: declare power attack "This time, I'm going to show you a thing or two!" Streak (GM): are you going to scream the attack name as you do it Bogrir: it's jsut a normal meele Isabel: I think the one-liners suffice Orme: NORMAL MELEE STRIIIIIKE Bogrir: Bogrir : Melee Attack Check 24 Streak (GM): still sounds cool Bogrir: NOW We'RE TALKING! Bronn: shite Isabel: Woah, ok Sheena: crit!!!!!!! Streak (GM): nice crit!! Orme: finally! Isabel: this dwarf can hit Zmey: :} Bronn: SMAAAAAAASH Bogrir: rolling 1d8 ( 3 ) = 3 + how much? 2?

Sheena: wait plus your strength too right Streak (GM): yeah +3 Bronn: oh yeah what happened to all his bonuses so 16 Sheena: plus 1 from the song Bogrir: total AB is 4 Streak (GM): then another from song Orme: still in the field Bogrir: fyi so Bronn: so 18 Isabel: holy cow Sheena: so 14 Bogrir: do i kill that thang Sheena: right 3 + 4 x 2 Bronn: you double the 3 too wait yeah what am i missing Sheena: (3+ 4) x2 = 14 Bronn: oh the power attack right Sheena: oh right duh so yeah 18 Bronn: 18 Sheena: the math nerds are content Streak (GM): Bogrir swings his hammer with great power, and smacks the armor's underside, just as a piece of the flan pulses through the circuitry, smacking the flan as well. Bogrir: so am i Orme: I am so lost Bogrir: 18 damage Sheena: "Nice hit!" i imagine the flan pops out the top like a whack-a-mole Isabel: "Yeah!! Beat that scrap heap into the ground!" Bronn looks around the flanitek surprised at Bogrir. Bogrir: "Say hello to my little warhammer!" Sheena: ehehe Streak (GM): Upon doing so, the flan swells out of the pipes on top of that armor, screaming with great volume, and inflating more and more... Pop!! Zmey: "I hope we aren't going to pay for this equipment afterwards. I am broke." Orme: "a mighty low blow, if I do say so myself" Streak (GM): Flan bits shoot everywhere some gets in your hair eww Orme: we already own it golurk Isabel: Oh, is it dead? Sheena points fingers at orme. eyyyy Bogrir squints Streak (GM): The machine freezes, and then deactivates. Isabel: "Wooo! You did it! Its dead!" Zmey: i mean the machine Bogrir: "I entirely wanted a hair gel treatment, yes sir." Streak (GM): You win! Music: Isabel: (I know Mending. Can I try to mend the machine?) Orme smiles wanly Sheena: "Is it over?" Bronn kicks the dirt a bit. Orme: hooray! Sheena: mending is for like tears in clothes n shit Isabel doesn't even care about the flan in her hair Sheena: only really little stuff Streak (GM): yaaay Bronn: "(didnt even hit the thing, frazza friggin rassaltoffa)" Sheena slowly grins Zmey: hey this is not the final fantasy fanfare i am used to Sheena: "We did it!" Isabel: (I hit it, I'm pleased) Streak (GM): Right, enough of that. Sheena: "Woo!" Bogrir: I'm not a FF fan i'm a mana series fan Zmey: where is the real victory music Bogrir: can't contribute when i don't know the lingo Bronn: what was that music anyway Streak (GM): Suddenly, a flash of light appears just north. Bogrir: yeah it sounded familiar Streak (GM): From the statue. Isabel: We beat a boss, give us something spectacular Bronn: whoops shinies Meruga with the strange thing dead, Meruga trots back up to orme like she hand't run away like a mouse Bronn: merugamesh Isabel cover her eyes Streak (GM): (one sec) Bronn turns to the statue and lifts his glaive up. Zmey: im so messed up i wanted to adjust the camera so i can see the statue in 3d Bronn: "Ey, what's with the glowing!" Orme: bahaha Bogrir: "Does anybody know any healing magic?" Isabel: "Oh, I know some" Streak (GM): Shh Bogrir: sorry Streak (GM): you can't do things right now :P Isabel: (even heal friends?) Orme: cutscene time Zmey cutscenes Orme: no heals in cutscenses remember aeris Isabel looks up at the statue Bogrir: i do nothing, not even look can't o THINGS do* Sheena: shh!!! Streak (GM): Okay. The light is coming from a strange gem the statue is holding. And its getting brighter. Bronn: yoink! Streak (GM): ANd brighter... And you can't look away. Isabel squints, bu doesn't turn away Streak (GM): Oh my god its really bright now. Sheena: ow Orme: "this is not good for my night vision at all" Streak (GM): All you see is white... Bronn: er Bogrir: cue quest giver Streak (GM): And then. Orme: hm. Bronn: "... wait, what?" Picture: Music: Streak (GM): The light fades, and you find yourself here. The ground is made of a striking blue and translucent rock. Beyond this floating land, though, is darkness. Sheena: "Um." Isabel: "How did..." Zmey: "Don't hug me I'm scared." Bogrir: "What in the blazes..." Bronn: "Alright, stabbing time!" Orme: "what in the world is this" Streak (GM): You hear a heavenly voice. "Warriors. Come." You are filled with that feeling again. The one that drew you to attack the monster. Isabel: "Bronn...I don't think we're here to dtab anything" Sheena: "W-warriors? I..." Orme: "and where's my dog?!" Bronn rushes towards to find things to stab. Sheena: "..." Bronn: ACK "Hey look, a rock!" Sheena: "Holy shit..." Picture: Zmey: were gonna be POWER RANGERS so hype Isabel: "this...its so...wow" Sheena: golurk ur killing the mood stop making me giggle "You've arrived at last." Orme: "Meruga? where are you?!" Zmey: "Dazzling light..." Bronn: sentai final fantasy Sheena: "Uh..." "Were you the one... asking for help?" Bronn reaches to poke the shiny rock. "My Crystal Warriors. I have chosen you to fix what has been broken." Isabel: "Crystal warriors?" "The light and dark of the crystals shall guide you. Restore the balance." Sheena hastily grabs bronn and pulls him back Zmey: "Something broken?" "All of life depends on you." Bronn gets hastily pulled back. Streak (GM): The voice does not react to your words. Isabel: "Um, guys, I think this is serious" Zmey: must be prerecorded Streak (GM): Once again, the crystal begins to shine. Sheena: "Wait!" Streak (GM): and brighten Sheena: "But..." Bronn: "Why the light, it hurts so much!" Streak (GM): you can't look away so bright Sheena: "..." Streak (GM): Fwoosh. Isabel: "What..?" Zmey: "Why must higher beings be so cryptic..." Bogrir: we can't do serious cutscenes can we Orme: "Voice! If you don't tell me, WHERE my friend is, so help me I'l--" Bogrir: it's just not in the threeple nature Streak (GM): You're back! Sheena: i tried my best bog i tried Bronn: "Oh, ok, I was clearly hallucinating." Bogrir: hahaha Sheena: "Did everyone else- yeah." Orme: "oh thank the heavens!" Zmey: "Was there something in that machine water." Isabel: "No Bronn, I saw it too" Orme hugs dog Bronn: "Man, what was in that ale I had..." Streak (GM): You look at the crystal on the statue. Sheena: "Whatever it was I could go for some more." Streak (GM): In fact, the statue is... moving Bronn: "ACK" Isabel: To Zmey: "I didn't get hit by the water, I don't think that was it" Sheena: "Guys!!" Isabel sits down Streak (GM): It opens its arms, and the crystal floats forward. Orme: "I think I've had just about enough of this for today" Bronn brandishes his glaive. Bogrir: "Fellas, did that statue always... er.." Streak (GM): It starts to shrink in size, until it becomes about four times smaller. Then a stem grows out the middle, and... Bogrir stumbles back, a bit baffled Sheena: "What in the world..." Streak (GM): Pop! A white creature has popped out of the end of the stem. Orme stands indignantly Zmey: "!" Isabel: "Um...hi?" Bronn: "NOPE" Sheena: you fucker. Zmey: shit Bogrir: oh ffs Orme: "A... Moogle?!" Sheena: plot moogle Isabel: Moogle? Sheena: plot moogle is go Streak (GM): It swings around, orienting itself upright, floating in the air by flapping a pair of tiny purple bat wings on its small body. The crystal now appears to serve as its bobble, attached to it's large head. In fact, the creature resembles a Moogle...albeit more cartoon-y. It adjusts the bag it's wearing. Isabel: "Bronn, come back!" Sheena: "Uh... hello?" Odd Moogle: "Oh! Hello, there!" Orme keeps Meruga at heel Odd Moogle: "You guys must be those Crystal Warriors I heard about!" Bronn: "Alright moggle-thing, time for some answers." Sheena: "Well, apparently." Zmey: "On leathery wings!" Picture: Bangaa Guard: "HEY" "WHAT ARE YOU DOING." Isabel: "Bronn, please don't stab him" Bronn: "Oh finally, some voices of reason." Orme: "the guard?" Bogrir: "Well, you have us at a disatvantage there, er... Moogle." Bangaa Guard: "DON'T MOVE" Isabel turns to the guards Bronn: "No, no, it's alright." Streak (GM): they've got weapons! Bronn: "No need to thank us." Zmey: "Good evening, officer!" Isabel: "Wait, wait wait wait" Sheena: "Sir, please, we just stopped one of those magitek suits." Bronn: "Hey, so, fun fact." Bangaa Guard: "The statue!" "The crystal is missing?!" "You took it!" Bronn: "Crazy hallucinating moogle guy there has some answers we need." Bogrir: "Oh, hoots mon." Orme: "yes, well, um" Zmey: Zmey : Influence Check 15 Sheena sweats heavily Bronn: "Oh, that, well." Isabel: To the Guards "I'm an Acolyte of this church" Streak (GM): what is that opposed by Isabel: "Everything is under control" Bronn: "You see, well..." Zmey: I put on a happy face. Isabel: I'll help Isabel : Influence Check 3 Bogrir: hahaha Sheena: "Psst! Hey, magic crystal moogle! Any chance you could help us out here?" Bogrir: yeah you will Isabel: Craaap Zmey: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/diplomacy just use aid another Bangaa Guard: The guard turns to Zmey, and looks a little unnerved. "Well, explain yourself!" Bronn: "There aren't any problems here, that moogle has the crystal." Bangaa Guard: "Hrm, must be some kind of evil spell!" "You're all goin' away for a long-" Isabel: "Wait, no! Don't you dare!" Streak (GM): Just then! (one sec) Bogrir: more music Isabel: (more deathly things?) Orme: a handsome man Isabel: (oh, a man) Streak (GM): (i forgot to set this up) Sheena: hot Zmey: hot Bogrir: his face looks familiar Isabel: Bronn's got competition Sheena: it's cid! Zmey: "WELL HELLO" Picture: Music: Cid: "What's goin' on here?" Bronn: "(aw fuck)" Streak (GM): A man sitting on a large machine arrives behind the guards, who turn to face him. The machine is similar to the Magitek, but has no pilot seat that you can see, and seems to move of it's own accord. Orme: "A minir altercation sir, we should have it sorted out forthwith!" Streak (GM): (pretend there is a token for the machine) Orme: *minor Streak (GM): (i forogt) Isabel: To Cid "These men are trying to arrest us for saving the church!" Zmey: i forgive you Cid: "Eh? Arrest? ..." He takes a look around. Zmey: "We were the first to arrive at the scene." Cid: "Right, boys, I'll take it from here." Isabel: (Should Isabel know who this is?) Bangaa Guard: "Eh??" Cid: "You don't need to be dealing with this misunderstanding. The citizens need you right now." Bangaa Guard: "Oh! Um, of course, sir!" The guards leave. Zmey: "Phew." Bogrir raises an eyebrow Orme: "well, that was fortuitous. Thank you, sir." Isabel: "Well, good thing someone here is reasonable" Cid: The man and his robot approach you. Isabel: "Thanks for that" Cid: "...So, you guys stopped that Magitek, didn't you?" "Nice one!" Isabel: "Hell yeah we did!" Orme: "well, some of us, certainly" Bronn: "No thanks to the local security..." Cid: He jumps down from the robot's shoulder, and lands on its outstretched hand, which lowers him to the ground gently. Orme: "I'm ashamed to admit I wasn't much help" Zmey: "Are we going to pay for that now deceased metal dog?" Cid: "Now, let's see." Picture: Isabel: To Orme: "No, you did great!" Bogrir: "Yes, well, we all did what we could, boyo." Orme: (whispering)"Is everything a dog to you?!" Sheena awkwardly interjects Bronn: i like how we're all just now ignoring the magical moogle sitting on the steps Sheena: "It was a flan." Zmey: hes waving Cid: "You did really well. The suit is barely damaged at all!" Zmey: we are ignoring him Sheena: "Er, piloting the robot. It was using it like a puppet." Bogrir: To new guy: "And you did us a favour, lad, thankin ye." Orme: blushes "well that's very kind of you to say, miss" Isabel: Magic moggle isn't important Cid: "A flan? Yeah, I know about that." "Invaded the dang city!" "But we took care of that." Sheena: "They were all flans?" Isabel: "Wait, there were more of these things?" Bogrir: "A flan invaded the city? Flan, singular?" Zmey: "Invaders?" Cid: "Nono, loads of em, all in suits." Orme: "But how? As far as I have learned, Flans are mindless to a fault." Sheena: "I've never heard of them acting like that before..." Cid: "Well, loads, I mean eight." Zmey: oh gr8 Cid: "Haha, yeah, pretty weird." He climbs into the suit. Zmey: mrw this cid is the enemy Cid: The suit clicks and clangs a little, readjusting its joints after the flan took it for a ride. Isabel: He assimilates the suit Bogrir: "Hold on there, lad, what was up with this statue?" Cid: "So, uh...what was with that light? And the crystal bein' missin'?" Isabel points to the moogle Cid: "The whole city must've saw that light." "Hmm?" Bogrir: "Yes, well.. we did get a moogle out of it." Zmey: "I do hope nothing else troublesome will take these for their joyrides." Orme: "I honestly have no idea. We all appeared in this strange cavern" Bronn: "Not our fault, hallucinations got to us." Sheena: "One at a time, guys." Odd Moogle: "Kupo?" Cid: "Would you lookit that..." Zmey: "ANYWAY, tiny bat dog." Isabel: "Talk to the moogle, he probably knows more than us" Cid: "Uh..." Cid is looking a bit overwhelmed. "I don't really get what all this means...Can you all come with me? My sister, Ceina, knows more about this kinda thing." Zmey: "Kupo? kupo. Is that your name?" Cid: "Would rather not trust some weird toy." Bogrir: "Sure, I haven't got anything better to do anyway." Isabel: "Seems reasonable" Odd Moogle: "Eh?? Toy?" Orme: "a toy? are you implying this moogle is an automaton?" Isabel: "Lead the way!" Cid: "Alright, great. follow me." Sheena: "He does look a little unusual." Bogrir: "And stop teasing the thing, would ya? 'Knows more than we do about that crystal warrior business." Sheena pokes the moogle gently. Cid: He clanks off in the suit. Isabel: "Lets get moving, guys" Bogrir follows whoever's leading Bogrir: "Indeed.' Streak (GM): You all clank after him, and he takes you on a short walk. Orme: "come, meruga! it seems that our journey may well begin sooner than we expected." Streak (GM): (okay time to set up again, one sec) Zmey: "I might as well." Isabel: I hope the logs have screenshots Streak (GM): Oh sorry one more thing Bronn mumbles to himself and sheathes his glaive. Cid: "Hey, Biggs!" The robot Cid came with stands to attention, diverted away from its busywork of staring at some flowers, "I'm taking these guys back to the warehouse. Go help the guards clean up and then go home, okay?" Sheena: mfw bronn still hasn't actually stabbed anything Cid: The robot nods and jumps off over a nearby wall. Zmey: this will be the running gag Bronn: shush i'll totally stab something Zmey: your toe maybe Orme: mfw bogrir is gonna be damaged for the whole campaign Bronn: i just need to hit it first Bogrir: "That is a nice construct there, uh.. What did ye say yer name was?" Cid: "That's Biggs, he's practically my best friend." "I made him myself!" "Do a lot of that kinda thing." Orme: "how remarkable!" Zmey: where is it standing Isabel: "That's incredible" Bogrir: did he introduce himself hen i wasn't looking or something we just automatically know it's Cid? Orme: "they're certainly a marvel to behold when not trying to kill us. How they mimic the form of living beings..." Cid: "Name's Cid!" Isabel: (I live in this city, so I might know him already? Mabye?) Cid: "Nice to meet y'all." Sheena: "And you as well, sir." Orme: "a pleasure to meet you too" Streak (GM): That's a society check Isabel: "Name's Isabel. Nice to meet you Cid" Zmey: Zmey : Society Check 16 Bogrir: "Aye. Bogrir Blackmail of the Dragons of the Mountain, at yer service." Bogrir bows slightly Sheena: "Sheena! I'm Sheena. Nice to meet you all, I suppose." Isabel: Oh, I can't do that without being trained, apparently Streak (GM): Zmey has heard the name before. He's a pretty famous mechanic, but you don't know much else. Orme: "I am Orme, student of Cam Sanh. And this is Meruga, my companion" Sheena: Sheena : Society Check 20 Bronn: "I'm Bronn!" Zmey: I'm way over here now Orme: to the Horrible Building Sheena: zmey has yet to introduce herself Cid: "Strange thing, this attack. Seems like a bunch of Thunder Flan broke into the storage warehouse, took control of the suits... Should probably fix that flaw." Sheena: but i think everyone else has now Isabel: "How'd they get in" Zmey: "How passé..." Cid: "Course, I always have some way to control my own tech! Gotta be careful, y'know?", he says, showing you a remote with a few hundred buttons and displays. "Glad you kids stopped that one near the statue, though. That thing's real sacred or someth'n, I think. But then, the crystal's up and movin' now, wonder how they'll react to that..." Orme: "squeeze through the gaps I'd imagine." "ah, yes we were hoping you could shed some light on that subject" Cid: "Ceina is figuring out that little puzzle right now!" "These things are airtight, no way they squeezed in." Sheena: "Well we're all a bit confused ourselves, so I'm more than willing to share any information I can." Isabel: "Sabotage?" Bogrir: "Say, Cid, what with yer bein' a mechanic and all, ye ever hear of something called Fullmetal?" Cid: "Fullmetal?" "Hmm.." Bogrir: "Tis a myth among my clan.. a metal that when purified has magical properties I believe it is real." Cid: "Well, hey, there's all sortsa weird metals in this world." "Haven't heard of it, though. Sorry." Bogrir: "Aye, 'twas a long shot." (Sorry, bogrir has this one goal he wants to achieve in life... :P ) Picture: Cid: "Right! We're here." Bronn: "Where, uh, is here?" Sheena: (naw that was good) (in-character interjections are good) Cid: "This is the warehouse the magitek escaped from." Orme: "I'm a slinger, it's always worth taking the long shot, I say" Sheena: (sidequest potential ahoy) Cid: "My sister's in there now." Bogrir: "Looks like they shouldn't have been able to escape so easily, eh?" Bronn: "Sister, eh?" Streak (GM): (more copying tokens yayy) Isabel: (Rule #3 of adventures, do all the sidequests) Orme: we already broke rule 1 though we didn't talk to everybody at the festival Bogrir: (hell if streak gives me Fullmetal i'd certainly love that) Isabel: Oh yeah, we didn't loot the Flan! Zmey: "Is that.. whatsit still following us?" Bogrir: deeerp well wait no we couldn't have done crystal teleport then police no time to loot Isabel: Not an excuse Looting is always first Zmey: k lets go Sheena: it exploded Isabel: shame on you all Sheena: there was nothing to loot Bronn: oh dear Orme: "oh my!" Picture: Cid: "I'm back!" Isabel: "Now that is a lot of machines" Zmey: "Seven." "So the eighth was the one before?" Ceina: Ceina is doing some routine scans of the area when they enter, dressed in a housecoat, and nice novelty moogle slippers. Music: Zmey: sheena wat r u doin Orme: "Can't be anything but" Isabel examines a magiteck Bronn: "Hey there miss, are you this man's sister?" Sheena: spinnin Ceina: (get back) Orme sighs Ceina: "Oh good. Can I go home now? I was in the middle of a movie, you know." Sheena: netflix night woo Bronn: wow what whered she go Cid: "C'mon Sis, this is important. We gotta find out how those Flan got in here. Got any leads?" Zmey: now thats my kind of npc Bronn: "Oh, well, nevermind..." Ceina: "They actually spawned in here. There's some traces of Chaos right in the corner here. ...By the way, this detector of yours is garbage, didn't even pick it up. I just used magic instead." Zmey: "Chaos?" Isabel: Oh, I can detect magic Cid: "Whaaat? Yer prob'ly just not usin' it right. Gimme that...And, uh, shouldn't the magicite shields have stopped spawns?" Orme: "Chaos? as in, the abstract conceptual model?" Streak (GM): Would you like to?

After activating the spell, you see a small faint dark cloud over in the top left. Orme: " Zmey: kill cloud Isabel rushes over to the corner Isabel: "This the Chaos?" Ceina: "They should have, but this spike was way above the usual strength..." She pauses, and glances over at the group, who will -not- stop running around. "Uh, who're they?" Zmey: kill it so we win Cid: "Oh, right! I found these guys around the statue, they fought off one of the Flan that was trying to attack it." Ceina: "It was attacking the statue? That's...interesting." Sheena: "Yeah, there was some... weird stuff happening." Isabel examines the cloud closely Meruga trots around the shop, sniffing at the machines Bronn: "Well, it wasn't attacking the statue so much as exploding from being electric and stuff..." Sheena: "We heard some sort of weird voice? And then this moogle showed up." Odd Moogle: You are all interrupted as the moogle yelps a little and flies at Ceina. "Yee!" Zmey: Yee Sheena: yee Orme: yee Isabel: "This has not been a normal day, really" Odd Moogle: It's noticed Ceina's slippers! Bronn: yee Odd Moogle: They're moogles! Zmey: best Ceina: "Um. What is..." Ceina grabs the playful moogle and takes a look at him. Orme: oh no its being cute Ceina: "Are you...a toy moogle? Cid, is this one of your rob- Wait, that bobble..." Her eyes light up. Zmey: it's clearly evil Cid: "Yeah, that's what I was sayin', that's the-" Orme: Kyupo Zmey: Kappa Sheena: "It came out of the crystal." Ceina: "It's the crystal from the statue, isn't it?" Isabel: "Um...Please be nice with that Moogle, It may be the only thing that knows what's going on" Cid: "Agh, way ahead of me as usual. And I had a head start too..." Sheena: "It said something about crystal warriors?" Zmey: "It... grew from the crystal." Ceina: "Hmm, now why would I be mean to him?" Odd Moogle: "Kupo!" Orme: "Referring to us, as far as I can tell" Zmey: "Keepo!" Isabel: "Yeah, apparently we've been choosen for something" Ceina: "...You all seem pretty unsure." Isabel: (I can detect magic some more to get more information, I think) Ceina: "Why don't we ask him?" Sheena: "The usual mystic destiny quest sort of thing." Sheena is more proud of herself than she probably should be Ceina: "Moogle. Can you tell us what's happening?" Orme: "we were rather preoccupied with other matters" Zmey: "Does this happen every year on this festival?" Isabel: "We've had a weird day. Can you blame us for being a little uneasy?" Orme: "It didn't bring my wolf with me for one." Odd Moogle: "Well why didn't you ask before!" Sheena: "It was all rather... vague. Bronn over there still insists it was all a hallucination too." Bogrir: sorry stuff happened what'd i miss Odd Moogle: "I've been waiting forever." "I love explaining stuff. It's really simple, kupo, the crystal has awakened! Revealed itself to the world, since it finally met the Crystal Warriors!" Orme: we're in the shop now sol Odd Moogle: He does a little spin. Sheena: "And that's us? Right?" Odd Moogle: "Yeah! You six!" Isabel: Oh no, exposistion Zmey: "Warriors..." Odd Moogle: "I'm here to guide you, and I was sent by Althena herself, kupo!" Bogrir: "Exactly what is a crytal warrior?" Odd Moogle: "You're going to save the world!" Isabel: Isabel : Profession (Acolyte) Check 15 Odd Moogle: "That's what a Crystal Warrior is!" Bogrir: "...Oh, that's wonderful." Isabel: Using my profession, trying to see if I know anything about this Sheena: "Cool!" Streak (GM): Nothing comes to mind. Bronn: "Well, what if I'd rather go stab dragons?" Isabel: "Umm, the world? Really?" Streak (GM): You know who Althena is, of course. Sheena: smug sheena "Bronn, saving the world almost ALWAYS involves at least one dragon fight!" "Everybody knows that!" Bronn: "Well, I suppose that is true." Zmey: "Who are we going to war against." Odd Moogle: "Oh yes! The world is in danger. There's big problems goin' down! And big problems need big heroes to stop it! Ahem." He readies himself for a speech. Sheena: dis gun be gud Odd Moogle: "You see, the Chaos in the world, something is wrong with it, kupo. Lots of monsters are appearing in places they shouldn't, and some are disappearing altogether." Orme: "Fellows I think you might want to be a little more tactful with a Gria present..." Isabel: "Wait, this is happening? This is real? Oh. My. Yes." Odd Moogle: "Something from the outside is causing this to happen, and if nothing is done soon, the Chaos could cease to exist forever!" Orme: "Disappearing?" Cid: "Hrm. Chaos is where monsters pop out of, so that sounds good to me." Isabel: "Is this cloud of Chaos over here a sign of it?" Sheena nods apologetically to Zmey Sheena: awkward grimace Zmey: snrk Odd Moogle: "Oh no, no! That would be super bad, kupo! Don't you know?" the moogle gets right up in Cid's face. Sheena: SUPER BAD Bogrir: "Why do I get the feeling monsters are more important to us than I've been led to believe?" Odd Moogle: "All of YOU are tiny pieces of the Chaos. Life in born from it, and when life ends, it returns to the Chaos, to be born again. If there was no Chaos left, you'd go poof! Gone! Forever!!" Isabel: Isabel : Profession (Acolyte) Check 14 What do I know about Chaos? Sheena: "Oh dear." Cid: "Yikes, okay, I get it, s-stop yellin' at me!" Isabel: "Sounds like one hell of an adventure" Streak (GM): Isabel, you know about the Cycle of Life and Chaos. Isabel: "Count me in!" Bogrir nudges Orme Streak (GM): Chaos is where monsters come from. Life is us. Zmey: we dark souls now Orme: Orme : Nature Check 10 Bogrir: quietly "That little fella sure has some zest, eh lad?" Streak (GM): Both are states of the same thing. Isabel: Well duh, the moogle just told us Odd Moogle: "Crystal Warriors!" He flies back over to the group, "You've all got the potential to stop this! To become mighty heroes who can restore the Cycle to the way it was! The Lady Althena told me so Herself! What do you say, will you help me, kupo?!" Bronn sits down, laying his glaive across his legs. Zmey: Zmey : Perception Check 14 sense the motive Isabel: "Of course I'll help! I've always dreamed of this sort of thing!" Sheena: "If there are monsters involved, count me in! I love monsters." Streak (GM): The moogle is being so sincere right now. Orme: (to bogrir) "he does indeed. I hope he doesn't wear us down throught it" Isabel: "Didn't think'd I'd get to as a white mage, but hey, here I am" Bogrir: "I don't see that we have a choice, eh" "Wouldn't want to suddenly cease to exist, now would we" Orme: "I have a duty to see that the ecosystem remains in balance. I can't not help." Odd Moogle: "Then...are we a team?!" Bronn: "I dunno, what's in it for us? Is there really any reason for us to do this?" "Surely there are more qualified folk." Isabel: "Bronn, you will die if you don't" Bogrir: "Sure! Ye might wanter tell us what yer name is, though" Odd Moogle: "No way! Althena said to me that you six are the only ones!" Isabel: "Do you want to just let yourself fade away! or do you want to fight it!!" Odd Moogle: "You all have amazing potential!" Bronn mumbles to himself and sighs. Odd Moogle: "Then we're a team! Yeah!!" Mog does a cool pose. Bogrir: oops, you gave away his name Odd Moogle: ...The rest of you should also pose. Isabel wraps my arm around Bronn's shoulder Isabel: "That's the spirit!" Orme: "Surely, sir Bronn, you would want to prove your mettle to... certain other people?" Zmey: "Hmmm... you don't seem to be deceiving us. You don't seem to be capable of deception at all." Odd Moogle: Mog is still holding the Cool Pose. Bronn: "Well this sounds like a whole lotta work." Bogrir sighs and holds his hammer up Odd Moogle: He's straining a little. Zmey: "One more thing." Bronn: "Don't really have a lot of choices though, I guess." Zmey: "What's are you carrying?" Orme stands dramatically Isabel: "Trust me, Bronn. It'll be worth it. You have a White mage with you, so don't worry" Zmey: -'s Cid: "Uhm." Cid clears his throat. Isabel raises both arms into the air Meruga decides to join in too Bronn holds up his glaive while still sitting. Ceina: "Okay. This is pretty strange." Sheena giggles Isabel chortles Ceina: "But...the church has been talking about...something?" Sheena: "You guys look ridiculous!" Ceina: "Maybe it was this." "You know what they're like, with their prophecies and stuff." Bogrir: "I'm a dwarf, I always look ridiculous." Cid: "So this is...for real?" Zmey: Zmey : Performance Check 19 Isabel: "Yeah, prophecies are pretty cool" Orme: "I don't often get a chance to cut loose like this, hah!" Sheena does a super anime pose, still giggling Odd Moogle: The moogle looks delighted! Bogrir: To Cid "Well, lad, the flan invasion was certainly real wouldn't you agree?" Cid: "There have been a lot of monster problems lately." Zmey does that thing the Moogle did a while ago. The twirling. Isabel: Zmey can fly, can't she? Orme: "too true! Look what happened to Suleina!" Sheena: "We saved the statue. How much harder can the world be, right?" Cid: "Then, Mr. Moogle, do you know what's causing it?" Odd Moogle: "Well, I'm not sure. Chaos is very hard to look into, you know, even Althena Herself can't look inside it! Hmm..." Mog is in deep thought now. Bogrir: "Them's famous last words, lass." Odd Moogle: "I think..." Ceina: "I think," Ceina interrupts, "You should all find areas with high, low or otherwise unusual C"haos activity. You may find some clue as to what's happening. Of course, we've been trying this ourselves, with no luck...But I'm sure the Crystal Warriors could find something, right? At the very least you will be able to see the problem for yourself." Isabel: "Please don't jinx it" Odd Moogle: "Wow, are you a mindreader, kupo!? That's what I was gonna say!" Isabel: "Anyway, there is a Chaos spike here, isn't there?" Ceina: "Not a mindreader, but close." Bogrir: "It's almost like they both speak for the same entity." Cid: "This one's small. Not much to find here." Bogrir: (fourth wall joke) Sheena: eyy double pistols and a wink Orme: "chaos, hm...? Meruga, I think you and I are going to need a crash course in creature combat" Cid: "But we do know a place pretty close that's gettin' some weird activity." Zmey: pls dont bully the 4th woll Bogrir: "Best we be headin' there, then. Whereabouts?" Sheena: "I dunno, dude, for a guy with just a big stick you sure put the hurt on that robot." Ceina: "Oh, you mean the forest, right?" Sheena: "You'll be fine!" Ceina: "A forest, home to hunters, that's been experiencing very low monster activity. And of the monsters that have appeared-" Isabel: "Forest?" Cid: "Actually..." Sheena: 4th wall shaming Cid: "These kids are lookin' pretty tired, how about we get them some rest first? Maybe enjoy the rest of the festival? Then we can send them off into terrible danger and whatnot." Zmey: "These missions do sound better than sitting idly by." slumber party Ceina: "Ah, yeah, you must all be exhausted...You can go back to the festival if you like. I'm going home to finish watching Faint Hard 2: Faint Harder." Sheena: slumber party!!! Isabel: "Oh jeeze, right! The Dwarf is still hurt" Bogrir: gives bronn an excuse to get his flirt on, too Orme: "Thank you for the compliments Sheena, but Meruga is only trained to attack animals and humanoids. If we're going to be fighting more oozes and worse things, she at least needs instruction>" Sheena: sleepover episode!! Bogrir: he's gonna be spending some time with sheena eh Isabel: (We didn't finish introductions, even) Cid: "Ain't that movie like, really old?" Isabel: "We haven't even introduced ourselves" Ceina: "So? It's still good." Sheena: "A movie sounds pretty good right now... and a drink. Shall we hit the inn?" Orme: I thought we did to cid and we pick it up from there Cid: "..Alright. Well. I'll get you all set up a nice inn." Sheena: most did we don't know zmey yet Cid: "Then we can all get to know each other." Isabel: I'm pretty sure we missed a few names Bogrir: "Yes, well, a dwarf can take a bit o' pain. But if ye be wantin to mebbe heal this scrap.. go right ahead... Ahem." Sheena: "Really? Thanks!" Cid: "Then I'm gonna go talk to the church about all this. I imagine they're at least a little curious about the crystal bein' missin'." Isabel: (Permission to heal the dwarf?) Streak (GM): oh shit right the crystal healed you way back Sheena: "Speaking of which... Isabel, are you going to have any problems with your priestly duties or anything?" Streak (GM): forgot to say Isabel: (oh, never mind then) Orme: how convenient Streak (GM): mhmm Bogrir: oh good well that invalidates what i just said Isabel: "I think this journey IS my job" Sheena: or Streak (GM): it would have also revived any dead people Sheena: you go to heal him Streak (GM): maximum tutorial battle Bogrir: "DId anyone else feel a disturbance in the force just now, as if time changed?" Sheena: and realize that his scrapes are gone Bogrir: problem solved Isabel: "I mean, a god has sent me on a journey. Pretty sure I have to obey" Ceina: "Pff, they already know about the crystal. I bet they have a prophecy about this." Isabel: Isabel : Profession (Acolyte) Check 13 Bronn: "Well I'd say we ought to get to an inn so I have somewhere more comfortable to sit." Isabel: checking for profecies Orme: "I... Have a duty to the people of my home, to find out why we were attacked. This is my only lead for the last six months." Cid: "If you say so. Right, c'mon." Isabel: prophecy Cid: "I know a nice place nearby." Bronn: wait is that where ceina went Streak (GM): You don't knwo of anything relating to this Bronn: directly on top of bronn Isabel: dang it Sheena: she's been next to cid this whole time dude Streak (GM): But then, you're part of the Phoenix church, not the Althena one. Orme: ahahahahahaha Bogrir: is this party march time now Zmey: jogn ceina Isabel: Right, true Zmey: h Isabel: where is that in town, anyways? Streak (GM): right time to set up again one sec Bogrir: oh god more it's 3:26am lol Sheena: "Say, Bronn, what about those Wyrmsbane fellows?" Isabel: Can we assume we all know eachother's names now?

I was supposed to meet up with them already!" Bogrir: dunno if anyone overheard Orme: oh by the way my name's zmey, you say, as the final boss falls wutaiesque Picture: Song: Streak (GM): Welcome to the Coeurl's Chance Inn! Sheena: her name is listed as ??? for the whole game Streak (GM): It's very swanky. Sheena: we skipped all the support conversations Cid: "Alright, kids, you've got a room upstairs. Enjoy the rest of your night, and meet me back here in the mornin', alright? We can chat over breakfast! I love the waffles here." He leaves. Sheena: "Thanks Cid!" "Bye!" Bronn: truly a man of non sequiturs Bogrir: "Aye, cheers lad." Isabel: "Thanks! See you tomorrow" Sheena: "What an odd man." Orme: "Thank you for your kindess!" Odd Moogle: "Wow, this place is real nice!"

Sheena: >with chairs Bogrir: "How can ye stand next to a dwarf and a Galka, and call Cid odd?" Isabel: Theres a moogle sitting on the table Orme: "I hope there's a chair with a hollow back somewhere" Sheena shrugs Bogrir: mind, Galkans are natural dwarf friends so he should probably find that remark entertaining Sheena: "I come from a diverse town. I don't judge." Bogrir: at least that's what i'm hoping Odd Moogle: "This is so exciting!" Orme: I hope so too Odd Moogle: "So, what do you all call yourselves?" Bronn: "Barkeep!"

Isabel: "I'm Isabel" Orme: "I'm Orme, the lobo next to me is Meruga" Zmey: "I am Zmey, tiny dog man." Odd Moogle: "Doggy!" "Dog man? I'm a moogle!" Orme: "Don't get too close!" Meruga snaps at the flying morsel Zmey: "What to do, what to do..." Odd Moogle: The moogle slips out of the way quickly. "Hehe!" Sheena: "Really? No offense, but you look sorta... different. Than other moogles." "You were also a crystal." Bogrir: "Bogrir Blackmail, of the Dragons of the Mountain clan, at yer servIce folk. If ye ever be needin' a smith, I'm yer man. Er, dwarf, that is." Odd Moogle: "Really? They must look different here..." Bronn is getting totally smashed, totally. Orme: "it's hard enough to keep her from eating the town moogles..." Sheena: "Where are you from?" Isabel: I haven't even ordered a drink yet slow down, Bronn Odd Moogle: "And you?" He says to Bronn. Bronn: "LEAPING TOADS, don't get so close!" Isabel: "Hey, Barkeep! One glass, please" Zmey: Zmey : Perception Check 15 Bronn waves his hand at the moogle. Odd Moogle: "Oh! Sorry!" Zmey: what time is it Bronn: "Bronn, member of the Wyrmsbane." Odd Moogle: Mog sits on the counter. Picture: Bronn: "Now pipe down if ya please, trying to get some drinking done." Odd Moogle: "Ah, you all sound so cool!" Sheena giggles Bronn: "I feel we've got a long time ahead of us." Odd Moogle: "An amazing journey!" Bogrir: "Hmph. Not how I'd describe meself, but if ye say so." Bronn: Bronn : Fortitude Save 18 Sheena keeps poking and staring at the moogle's pompom crystal thingy Isabel: To Bronn: "When's the last time you've heard of a short adventure?" Orme stands since there's not enough stools Odd Moogle: "Ah, isn't it pretty! Althena gave me this bobble to use on our journey." "She's keeping my real one safe." Bronn: "Advenshure? I haven't akshually heard of advenshurues that mucsh..." Bronn lays his head on the counter. Odd Moogle: "Oh boy! He's a real lightweight." Isabel: "Wow...this guy can't hold his beer" Bogrir: "Ha! The lad's drunk already!" Orme declines to ask how you'd go about "switching" bobbles Sheena: "Maybe we should drag him up to bed..." Isabel: Isabel : Fortitude Save 18 Odd Moogle: "I really like this bobble, I can fly so much faster with it." Bronn: "Nay, I'm fine, jusht need some water..." Bogrir: To bareep: "Don't s'pose ye serve some dwarven ale 'round here, lassy?" Orme: "perhaps soak him with a hosepipe..." Odd Moogle: "I even get some special powers!" Isabel: I don't know what fort I need to resist alchohol Sheena: "So your role is to be our guide? Where'd you come from? What's your name, anyway?" Odd Moogle: "My name? ...Hmm." Bronn starts downing glasses of water, hoping they help. Bogrir: hmmmoh Odd Moogle: "I don't actually...have one at the moment." Isabel: "Bronn, I don't think that'll help" Odd Moogle: "Hey! Maybe you can give me one!" Sheena: "You don't have one?" "Hm..." Bogrir: "What he needs is some dwarvish brew." Bronn: "Well your name ish clearly figgleshworth..." Isabel: "Ohh! Lets name him Orion!" Zmey: Fuccboi Bogrir: "It's like coffee, but.. uh.. dwarfy." Bronn: "Yesh! Mishter figgleshworth..." Sheena: "Ballots. We'll propose a few and let him pick which one he likes best." Bronn lays his head back on the counter. Orme: "how about Guido?" Sheena looks at Bronn for a second. Sheena: "Figglesworth. Gotcha." Zmey: "You look like a Jikai" Bronn: xD Isabel: Or Orme: "That just sounds like a bad pun" Odd Moogle: "I guess we need some time to figure that one out." Isabel: to orme, sorry Bronn: yes can we please call him jikai Bogrir: or you could just say his name's Mog i liked that Orme gives a withering glare to isabel Streak (GM): Oh god, this has taken forever.

Sheena: bronn is so hung over Isabel begins eating immediately Sheena: he wakes up mid breakfast Bogrir is eatin heartily Streak (GM): What are you all having? Bronn grumbles angrily, both from being hung over and at the poor quality of the food. Bogrir: whatever's on the table everything Zmey daintily handles a sandwich with a knife and fork. Isabel eggs and bacon, of course Orme: "If everyone's finished with the chicken, pass the rest of it down here" Sheena picks at her food, mostly preoccupied with chatting with her new PALZ Streak (GM): Bogrir goes right for the standard Breakfast Entire Chicken Zmey: Isabel eggs and bacon Isabel: "with buns and gravy" Bogrir: yeah well Isabel: Wait, that wasn't supposed to be a quote Bogrir: he'd save some for orme Sheena: it must be late im laughing like an idiot about all this shit Streak (GM): And by chicken, I do mean chocobo. Bronn grabs a chocobo flank and starts to chew on it. Orme: it's for Meruga mate Isabel: I am auto-using commands without reason Streak (GM): There's also some Malboro Salad its putrid Bogrir: sure that's who i meant Zmey: "You were just petting Chocobo last night!!"

Sheena: other tame foods Bogrir: i like how this entire section is a food skit Meruga makes a meaty mess of the floor Bogrir: love it Streak (GM): And look, it's a special recipe, Streak's Special Sausage Isabel also grabs some stuffed flan Streak (GM): the chef says she got hte recipe from the gods themselves Bronn sighs and puts down the meat and goes to complain to the chef. Zmey: harvested from oedipia Bogrir: booooom, GM breaks the fourth wall Streak (GM): There's also a tub, filled with cheese. What kind of breakfast is this. Orme: "pass some of the lobster down, will you Isabel" Zmey: "Ah, fondue." Zmey fondues ALL THE THINGS Orme: the BEST Breakfast Isabel: Stop putting food. Isabel is going to try to eat it all Streak (GM): (prep time one sec) Isabel passes down some lobster Bronn returns with a coeurl leg and and a container of seasoning. Isabel also takes some lobster herself Orme: "mercy bowcoop" Sheena: "Wait, is that the flan from yesterday?" Isabel: "I've never had some of these before" Sheena: "That's... that's really hardcore." Bogrir: for that shocking zest Orme: is french in this world Bogrir: electroflan Bronn: "mumble mumble lousy chefs grumble can't season anything right mumble rargle" Isabel: "If it is the flan from yesterday, this is justice" Orme hands down flan to Meruga Zmey: "If that's the flan from yesterday, this is unsanitary." Orme: "see girl? this is okay isn't it?" "nothing to be afraid of" Cid: "Oh, hey, I got a little present for you. As thanks for yer help yesterday." Bogrir: "If that's the flan from yesterday, this food's stale." Zmey: a bomb Bronn: no, bombs are delicious Meruga tries to eat the flan but it falls out due to not having cheeks Bronn: the fire element is good for flavoring Isabel: "The flan tastes fine to me" Cid: Cid tosses a small stone over to Bronn. It's a water magicite! Neato. Zmey: literally surprise breakfast tpk Bronn catches it and looks confused. Bogrir: mytery flan Sheena: "A magicite?" Isabel sees the magicite Cid: "It's from that magitek. Thing's no good to us now." Bogrir: i gotta semifak er semiafk Bronn: "... ok, I am literally too hung over to recognize this."

Sheena: it's actually just a cool marble Bronn: "Oh, magicite? I can, like, put this thing on my weapon right?" Sheena stares intently at Zmey Cid: "Yep. It'll make your attacks stronger." Zmey: i dunno Sheena: "Dude. you just blew my mind." Orme: "if you have a slot, sure" Isabel: "Slot it!" Streak (GM): Later in the meal... Bronn begins grinning uncontrollably. Isabel: "Does anyone have a slot?" Cid: "So, I talked to the Church of Eden, they've heard about the crystal awakenin' and the Archbishop Beorhtio wants to meet you all for some ceremony. Apparently there -was- a prophecy." Sheena: "For the guy who didn't even land an attack? Psh!" Zmey is covered in cheese sauce. Sheena winks Bronn glares at Sheena. Isabel eats some more Ceina: "I knew it. A personal speech from the Archbishop? Sounds...exciting." Sheena: "I'm just messing with you! Chill!" Cid: "Tell me about it, I almost fell asleep at that last speech he gave..." Bronn continues grumbling, staring at the gem. Ceina: "He's a good man, though. You should listen to what he has to say. And hey, you might get something useful out of it." Isabel: Isabel : Spellcraft Check 25 Sheena: "Prophecy, huh?" Isabel: Give me some stats about this magicite Ceina: "I'll take you over real quick after breakfast." Isabel: I think this is the right skill Zmey: take me to frog church Sheena: "Sweet, thanks!" Streak (GM): Isabel: You can tell this magicite is fairly weak right now. They need to be used in combat to gain strength. Zmey: by take you over she means she will take over our minds Streak (GM): did you just say frog church Bronn starts fumbling with the magicite, trying to find the spot on Wyvern's Fang. Isabel: "So, Bronn, you gotta use that magicite a lot" "Make it stronger" Bronn: "Yeah, yeah, I know how magicite works." Isabel watches him fumble with it Bronn: "Gem goes on weapon, weapon stabs things, gem gets better." Cid: "So, I'm guessin' you're all itchin' to know about that mission we got for ya?" Isabel gives him a questioning look Isabel: (Can I help him find the slot?) Ceina: "The Glyphwood, it's called. We've been investigating some concerns they have over the monster population sharply decreasing. The hunters there live off the monsters, so it's affecting their lifestyle." Sheena: "Water, huh? I've got wind, and Isabel has light... Guess we have a little element theme thing going." Zmey: still covered in cheese intredasting Isabel: "I've got an Earth rod as well" Cid: "Man, I couldn't live off hunting. Unless there's some kinda waffle monster out there." Sheena: "Hm. That does sound important, but how do we go look for monsters that aren't there?" "I wouldn't even know where to start..." Ceina: "Not too ridiculous, I mean, we're eating flan right now." Cid: "Well, we looked ourselves. Didn't find anythin'." Isabel: "Well, I could probably detect any sort of oddity with Chaos" Bronn: "Monster hunting is vital for food. Trust me, a lack of monsters is a bad thing." Isabel: "I saw the spike in your workshop" Orme: "perhaps, if we are unable to find monsters where there are none" Cid: "But you can ask the locals, do some adventurin' stuff." Ceina: "That's how it usually works." Orme: "surely it'd be easier to find monsters where they should _not_ be?" Isabel: Oooh, data gathering. I'm good at this Ceina: "So, if you'd like to go after the church meeting, I can send them word of your arrival." Sheena: "Well, I suppose it'd be a start either way. We don't exactly have any other leads." Orme: "I would be happy to help" Ceina: "The Glyphwood is about 2 hours walk from here." Sheena: "It's settled then. We'll head over to the church, then to the forest?" Isabel: "No problem" Ceina: "I've brought a map for you, and marked the path you should take." Bronn: oh Zmey: map Orme: wow Sheena: quality Isabel: Uh Bronn: its beautiful Zmey: dat compass Sheena: mogart Picture: Streak (GM): Please excuse the temporary map. Isabel: Yes Orme: Nice Boat Streak (GM): She hands the map to Sheena Sheena: "Thanks!" Streak (GM): Who struggles to open it up. It's quite large. Orme: does this make sheena the leader Sheena awkwardly sprawls the map across alll the food Streak (GM): No she's just closest. Orme: the Main Character Sheena: oh god the crumbs stains mess! Orme: The Closest Character Streak (GM): That map is in your journal now Sheena: The One Who Happened To Be In Front Isabel: "Sheena, please be careful" Streak (GM): yay Sheena: this is so cool Zmey is almost finished wiping off the cheese from her face. Sheena: "Er... sorry..." "Can everyone see?" Streak (GM): Right, breakfast is over. Sheena: (i don't know how anyone could not see) Isabel: Isabel isn't done eating! Zmey: "I'm sorry did I miss anything?" Streak (GM): You all go down to the lobby. Isabel: foo Ceina: "Okay, I'll take you all there now." Bogrir: and then the archibishop whatshisface? Bronn suddenly slips the gem into the glaive. Orme thinks about asking zmey why she smashed her face into the cheese sauce, but she's like, two people over from him Ceina: "Um. Except you, Cid. You can meet us there." "One too many." Bronn: "Ah! Got it, finally." Cid: "Right. See you all in a bit!" He leaves. Ceina: "Could everyone hold hands, please?" Bronn: um Orme: "um" Zmey: "Whu?" Bronn: why did sheena leave Sheena: "Bye Cid!" Bogrir: "Er, if I have to." Sheena: he said the lobby i went to lobby Isabel: "Um..." Sheena: bah Isabel grabs Zmey's hand Sheena: not awkard Zmey: are we teleporting or is this metaphorical handholding Sheena: at all Bronn grumbles and joins hands with those next to him. Ceina: Ceina closes her eyes as you all lock hands, and the space around you begins to shape and bend and twist and move. Isabel grabs Bronn's hand Sheena: latin chanting SEPHIROTH Bronn: SEPHIROTH Ceina: And suddenly, it all jumps back in to place. Zmey: BEETLEJUICE Orme grabs Meruga by the vicous clawed forepaw Sheena spins around a bit Sheena: ohhh god Picture: Song: Ceina: But you're somewhere else. Zmey: "Outstanding!" Ceina: "We're here." Sheena: "Gonna hurl." Zmey: "Standing, outside." Bronn: estuans interius... Sheena: "OoOg" Orme: "Teleporting is... A novel sensation" Isabel: Isabel : Reflex Save 0 Sheena: nice Bronn vomits intensely,still being hung over. Isabel falls over Zmey: how Streak (GM): You find yourselves in front of a massive church. Sheena: ...0 Bogrir: lololol Sheena: 1 - 1 apparenyly Isabel after doing a backflip Streak (GM): It's the one just north of the statue. Sheena: isabel has become unwound from space and time Isabel: "Ooof" Zmey: take me to snurch Meruga: Meruga : Reflex Save 14 Streak (GM): In fact, the gate is open now, you could go see the statue, if you wanted. Bronn: "Ok, just, can we please stop with the sudden flinging and the teleporting and the hurgghhh..." Zmey: 'So do we have to wash our hands before entering or..." Ceina: "We have to wait for Cid, so have a look around, I guess." Meruga 's animal reflexes prevent toppling Sheena: "Nifty shortcut!" Sheena is clearly attempting to save face. She hastily wipes some spit off her lips. "Really cool." Streak (GM): Wow, look at all this religion. Sure would be cool to do a religion check Isabel: "Ummm, a little help?" Sheena: shit. religion doesn't work remember Bronn: oh right Streak (GM): I like how Meruga must have held someones hand. Bronn: broken check Sheena: ill do it manually rolling 1d20 + 8 ( 12 )+8 = 20 Zmey: yo i gave you the macro :} Bronn: well then rolling d20 ( 11 ) = 11 Orme: I did say Zmey: Zmey : Religion Check 10 Isabel: Isabel : Profession (Acolyte) Check 24 Zmey: fantastic Orme: grabbed her foreled g Streak (GM): Okay that'll do The church before you is bigger than anything you have seen before. As the main place of worship in the largest city in the world, it more than makes up for any expectations. Bronn: how on earth is your religion mod +8 Zmey: the dc i can roll untrained is 10 anyway Isabel: I don't have Religion trained Orme: no crystal missingness Sheena: yeah mopp totally called it Streak (GM): Large stained glass windows on the front reach up several levels high, and seem to depict all kinds of men, women and beasts. Pillars hold up the upper level, with intricate patterns etched into them curling all the way from it's base to the top. Sheena: +4 int +3 class skill +1 rank Streak (GM): As far as you can see from here, there are some marble statues that overlook the balcony, where the Archbishop makes speeches from. To the sides of the building, on the upper levels, you can see parts of what seem to be two gardens, exhibiting a mix of mundane and exotic plantlife. Zmey: >mfw the acolyte isnt trained in religion Bronn: oh hey its an organ ish Sheena: she's a field medic not a priest or something Bronn: more like the bells Sheena: probably. Isabel: I need a library Streak (GM): "You can tell that the windows are pictures of various gods. The largest, in the center, is clearly of Althena, the goddess of song, serenity, and protection. Another beside it is of Bahamut, god of justice, protection, nobility, and honor. The one on the other side, then, must be Kefka, god of magic, destruction, and madness." whoops quotes Orme: oh sweet lord why Isabel: The GM speaks! Streak (GM): The various carvings in the pillars and other stonework are all of a flowing and looping nature, going between visages of beasts and into faces of men and moogle. Orme: kefka Sheena: im explaining any bits of this nobody else gets to the rest of the party Streak (GM): This is clearly an interpretation of how we know life itself to work. Beasts are the Chaos, and we are Life. But Life and Chaos are just two states of the same thing. Cid: "Hey! Up here!" Isabel looks up Cid: Cid descends from above, hovering with a strange handheld propeller of some sort. A small flying robot buzzes around behind him. Isabel: Isabel : Performance Check 6 Sheena: "Whoa! Incoming!" Isabel: I fail to see cid for a few seconds Bronn: man now i really wish i went part engineer Sheena: that was performance not perception Isabel: I'm still on the ground, by the way Sheena: lol Isabel: oop Cid: He lands, and after it stops spinning, you can tell its some kind of odd umbrella. Isabel: that'd explain it Cid: He folds it up and puts it away. Isabel: Isabel : Perception Check 19 Cid: "We ready?" Isabel: Much better Zmey: "Even I can't call that a weird dog anymore." Sheena: "I... I guess so." Isabel: "Oh, hi Cid" Sheena: "...How many more crazy methods of transportation do you have?" Orme: "ready as we'll ever be sir." Isabel gets up off the ground Streak (GM): (one sec i forgot to set a thing up) Orme: "...erm, do I... need to leave my lobo outside?" Isabel: Nuuuu Zmey: "May the Lord of Platinum bestow his grace upon us." Orme: "I cannot guarantee she will not ruin the floor" Zmey bows towards the image of Bahamut. Sheena: should we all do prayers and such is that a good call Orme: Orme : Perception Check 11 Isabel gives a cautious look towards Kefka Orme: I make these checks but don't know what the threshold is Isabel turns away and up towards Althena instead Bronn: bronn isn't really religious Zmey: streak looks it up Streak (GM): Suddenly, a rather short Hume lady with tied-up blonde hair comes out of the church. She appears to be dressed in acolyte robes, and immediately runs up to you all. Bronn: he comes from a farmtown, not a lot of churches around oh well hellooooo Orme: oh so I have to tell him what it is ok Isabel: Susie? Sheena: "Ah, good morning!" Susie: "Crystal Warriors! You've arrived! It's an honour to meet you all! I-I'm Susie, an acolyte in the church. I'll take you all to the Archsage!" Zmey: her head is tiny Sheena: "Uh, thanks!" Isabel: "Hey Susie!" Isabel waves Streak (GM): Another acolyte walks into the reception area. A Nu Mou, wearing the same acolyte robes as Susie. Zmey: "Good morning." Bronn: "Good morning, miss..." Sheena: (to the others) "It's sort of weird being treated like this when we haven't exactly done anything yet..." Orme: " A pleasure to meet you, miss" S'carnou: "Susie." He nods in her direction. "And who're these fellows?" Susie: "Oh, Mister S'carnou!" She does a short bow. "Um, these are the Crystal Warriors! You remember the Archsage telling us about them, right?" S'carnou: "I do." Streak (GM): You note a strange, evaluating look in his eyes, and a small smirk afterwards, which quickly fades. Sheena: that got quiet S'carnou: "Hm. Well. I hope you're all better at fighting than you look. Your path is no doubt filled with danger, you know." Isabel: Isabel : Perception Check 18 Sheena: "A pleasure to meet you as well, sir!" Sheena laughs nervously Susie: "Ah! Um. I'm sure...S'carnou here just means...you know, s-stay safe! Ha..ha..." Sheena: "I hope so too, sir!" S'carnou: "Yes, that will suffice. I'll delay you no longer, Susie. You have a nice day. And you too...Crystal Warriors." Isabel: "We'll do great, don't you worry" Bogrir: "Hmph!" Orme: Orme : Perception Check 13 S'carnou: He leaves. Isabel: Trying to sense motives Orme leers Orme: same Isabel: probably Sheena: that'd be influence wouldn't it rather than perception Streak (GM): Isabel, I do perception rolls for you Isabel: oh, sorry Sheena: yeah guys cool it on the rolls haha Streak (GM): in secret Orme: ok Sheena: ideally Orme: we just have all these buttons Sheena: you say you want to notice something or w/e Isabel: I didn't know you were doing that Sheena: or you look for it Orme: we must press them Susie: "S'carnou's an acolyte, we both joined quite recently. He's really serious...But, um, he's really nice. Y'know, once you get to know him... Um, right! Let's get going to the main hall!" Isabel: So...do I sense motives? Sheena: and the dm tells you if you need to make a check Orme: right Streak (GM): (prep time) there's so many tokens what a crowd Orme: oh, Streak did we level up after the flanitek? Streak (GM): nope Orme: k Isabel: Its a bit early for a level, isn't it? Streak (GM): i'll sort out exp after Bronn: yeah uh Isabel: Need one more boss Streak (GM): don't worry about ti for now Orme: kk Isabel: and some EVs Zmey: or 5 Bronn: levelling after one encounter is not really a thing its more like a level after, say, 10-20 encounters Streak (GM): She takes you all inside. Zmey: MANDRAGORA Orme: PINK TURNIP Bronn: oh oh dear Streak (GM): Ahead, you see what must be the Archbishop Beorhtio himself. He appears to be quite an old Hume, and he has a gentle smile on his face as he speaks to the four other bishops around him. He is dressed in a very lovely white, blue and green robe, holding a golden staff. No doubt that staff holds great magical power, but right now, it also makes a very good walking stick. Sheena: :O Streak (GM): (please position yourselves less terribly than i did Isabel bows respectfully Bronn sits on a pew, trying to be casual. Orme: "Guess I didn't need to leave the dog outside after all" Sheena bows as well, following isabel's example Susie: Susie runs over to the group. "Mister Archsage, sir, the Crystal Warriors are here!" Orme also bows Bronn nods curtly in the clergy's direction. Archbishop Beorhtio: "Ah...yes," He looks over to the group, studying you carefully. "I can see it in them. The light shines like a beacon..." Isabel: Dang it Orme, why are you inbetween squares? Zmey curtsies, trying to one-up everyone. Archbishop Beorhtio: He walks over to you. Orme: that better? Isabel: thank you Archbishop Beorhtio: "I used to see this light in the Crystal...It is warm...soothing...Ah...but now...you there." he says, turning to the moogle. Odd Moogle: Me? Archbishop Beorhtio: "You...You are the brightest light here. I can tell, you are surely an angel sent by the Goddess Herself. A gift from Her to us..." Sheena: :O Odd Moogle: "Angel! Wow, did you hear that, kupo? I would make a pretty great angel!" Isabel: "Careful, sir. The Moogle can talk a lot" Archbishop Beorhtio: "Haha...the vigor of youth. Children, thank you all for agreeing to come today. Ceina and Cid, thank you for bringing them." Zmey: if i got my tropes right this means the light is evil Sheena: "Our pleasure, sir!" Orme: (muttering) "I doubt even a celestial could be capable of this good a disguise..." Archbishop Beorhtio: "I would like to speak with you all. I...I feel it is important...that you know what the legends have said about your arrival." Sheena: (shh golurk no spoilers) Isabel: "It was my duty, Archbishop. And a pleasure" Mandragorian Priest: One of the priests interrupts. "Ah, Archsage, shall we all get more comfortable before you start?" Zmey: priest!! my heart... Archbishop Beorhtio: "Yes...Yes of course..." Bronn grumbles a bit, still fumbling with the gem on his glaive. Odd Moogle: "Let's get comfy, kupo!" Bronn: "Excellent!" Isabel notices Bronn Streak (GM): Let's all sit. Bronn flops onto a nearby pew. Isabel: "You still fiddling with that thing?" Bogrir: wow sorry dozing off here Picture: Orme sits down neatly as Meruga unceremoniously leaps over to join him Bogrir: what have i missed since i last spoke Bronn: "Yes, just trying to figure out how to make it shoot water or whatever." Orme: we are now at the main church place Isabel: We are about to get the prophecy Orme: and are going to be exposited to by the archbishop Sheena: the archbishop is giving us a prophecy Isabel: There is a mandragorian Priest Sheena: and there was a creepy dude outside Cid: "(Get ready to snooze...)" Ceina: "(Shh.)" Isabel: Will Saves? Bronn: Bronn : Will Save 10 Sheena sits upright but has already started blinking and yawning Bogrir: wish I coul will save irl Sheena: bronn is already asleep again Zmey taps a catchy rhythm to keep herself awake. Archbishop Beorhtio: The archbishop has taken the stand. "Crystal Warriors. You are all the chosen Warriors of Althena herself. When you approached the Crystal yesterday, it was in danger of being damaged by one of malicious intent..." Zmey: the archbishop's stand Isabel leans in closer, obviously interested Bronn: yeah no bronn is like half asleep at best Sheena: a stand versus drugs Archbishop Beorhtio: "Perhaps you all know of the statue's legend. It is said to offer our city divine protection. When we first settled here, hundreds of years ago, the statue was already present. Since that day...the statue has never come under harm. Or even the threat of harm." Sheena begins humming along to zmey's beat Archbishop Beorhtio: "It is said to be from the wishes of the Goddess Herself that this happens. So why, then...would the statue have been threatened yesterday? And why did none of our guards jump to defend it? I'm sure you all noted this, no? It may seem reckless, but this was intentional on our part." Meruga falls asleep on Orme's lap Archbishop Beorhtio: "Her wishes changed. She let the statue come to harm to call her Warriors to arms. And you have all heeded that call! Our best fortunetellers had vague visions of this event, the parts that Althena Herself allowed us to see." Zmey: "Keikaku..." Archbishop Beorhtio: "It was said that six brave warriors would come to the Crystal's aid, and in doing so, prove their bravery, and their strength. For the Six will have a difficult journey ahead of them. One that will decide the fate of our world..." Orme: "so it was all a subterfuge?" Zmey: (Keikaku is draconic for plan) Streak (GM): Everyone roll a Will save Sheena: (mumbling to self) "Really? Let the statue get hurt to see who was willing to help...? Sounds awfully fishy..." Bronn: Bronn : Will Save 20 Zmey: Zmey : Will Save 17 Bronn: NO Isabel: Isabel : Will Save 23 Yeaaah Orme: Orme : Will Save 18 Sheena: cool it guys haha Isabel: Unsleepable Streak (GM): No really roll Bronn: the one thing i wanted to fail at Streak (GM): sheena, bogrir Orme: critical will for bronn Sheena: where Bronn: defenses Sheena: Sheena : Will Save 11 Streak (GM): rolling 1d20+2 ( 13 )+2 = 15 Isabel: uh oh Streak (GM): That's boggies Isabel: Sheeena? Streak (GM): right, you all stay awake. well done! Bogrir: hang on Sheena: horay Archbishop Beorhtio: "What brings this danger to our world...? This...we were not allowed to see. All we were given were a few words. And told to pass them unto you." Sheena: he gotcha bogbear Archbishop Beorhtio: "The Cycle must stay balanced." Bogrir: oh right Archbishop Beorhtio: "We all know what this refers to, of course." Sheena repeats that phrase to herself softly, trying to memorize it Archbishop Beorhtio: "This Cycle...it is the Cycle of Life itself. When our bodies give up, our souls return to the Cycle. It is at this time that souls seek peace and redemption within themselves. And should they achieve this serenity, the soul is reborn anew, and it attains Life once again." "Should it fall into turmoil, however, the soul instead falls into Chaos, becoming a monster, and wandering the planet until it once again meets it's end. Returning to the Cycle once again, the soul seeks peace once more." Isabel begins writing Streak (GM): Roll again. Orme looks on disapprovingly Isabel: Gotta remember this Bronn: Bronn : Will Save 3 Orme: Orme : Will Save 6 Bronn: there we go Isabel: Isabel : Will Save 26 Sheena: Sheena : Will Save 6 Bronn: thats more like it Zmey: Zmey : Will Save 8 Isabel: Oh my... Bogrir: Bogrir : Will Save 11 Sheena: oh god Bronn: almost everyone just passes out Sheena: dropping like flies Bronn: immediately Sheena: isabel eyyy Isabel: Good thing I'm writing Zmey: "The Great Whee..el...." Streak (GM): Bronn has fallen asleep. Bronn: boggy somehow stays awake Isabel: Take notes, GM Bronn: its that dwarven fortitude wow really, just me? alright Archbishop Beorhtio: "And so, Althena Herself has given us this message, that it must stay balanced. Then, does something threaten it? Indeed, we have seen ourselves signs of this lately, the monster populations have been very erratic. Something is happening, and it is up to you, Crystal Warriors, to find the cause and stop it." Orme stops listening Archbishop Beorhtio: "How you decide to proceed is up to you, but the Church of Eden would like to offer some assistance. I will pray now, and confer unto you all a blessing." Isabel pokes Orme Orme: "huh?" Archbishop Beorhtio: The Archbishop begins saying something quietly, in a language none of you can recognise. His hands are held together now, and after a few seconds, he raises his hands upwards, and a warm light envelops the party. Sheena nods to look attentive Archbishop Beorhtio: You all feel...just a little safer. Zmey nods to look attractive Isabel continues writing notes Bogrir nods.. Bogrir: he's pretty sleepy Streak (GM): You all get a permanent thing Isabel: oooh? Orme: a thing he says Streak (GM): Beorhtio's Embrace! It ups your current lowest save by 1. Zmey: a cool tatto on our faces Sheena: hot. Orme: neat Sheena: should we add that to our sheets now Streak (GM): Later Sheena: k Streak (GM): I'll remind you Isabel: I just did I think Bogrir: yes Archbishop Beorhtio: "We shall also give you some gillings, so that you can purchase what you may need for your journey." Bogrir: later Isabel: I don't know how it works on the popout Zmey: the old man.. embraces us. at all times. Bogrir: after some sleep Sheena: permanent old man hug Mandragorian Priest: "Uhm. Your Holiness, the currency is called Gil, now. No one, um...really says 'gillings' anymore." Orme: oh man Archbishop Beorhtio: "A-hah, yes, of course...excuse me." Sheena nods much more enthusiastically Sheena: fuckin money dude Isabel: Oh no he didn't Sheena: bling bling Susie: Susie walks over to the leader of the party, handing them a small pouch. "There's 1200 gil inside...I'll just uh...give this to...hmm. You, Mr. Moogle? Sure. Here you go." Zmey: that mandragora gonna die Bronn: i like how hes just clearly senile Odd Moogle: "Thanks, kupo!" Isabel: Maybe not senile, just a bit behind Archbishop Beorhtio: "Crystal Warriors, thank you for visiting, you may now leave, if you wish, but if you would like to ask me anything, please feel free." Sheena: good call Orme: give them cranberries Sheena: "Just one question, Archbishop, if I may." Streak (GM): Bronn snores. Loudly. Orme: (game face) "It was an honor to be in your presence, sir" Zmey: rude Sheena: "We are headed to the forest nearby, but do you know of any other places nearby we might investigate?" Isabel: (can I chuck something at Bronn?) Archbishop Beorhtio: "Ahah...no need to be so formal." "Indeed, I should be formal to you." Bogrir: no seriously i nee to go when you said 'abit more' i didn't expect an hour Sheena: i think we are just about done at last with exposition man Streak (GM): We're pretty much done you can read the log Sheena: adios sol! Bogrir: that would be great Orme: bogrir rushes to the bathroom Streak (GM): sorry for taking so long! Isabel: See ya later, Sol Orme: byeee Bogrir: no it's alright i just kee pnodding of Sheena: sleepy sleep Isabel: g'night, Sol Orme: phnodding is my new favorite word Bogrir: aanyway g'night golks golks lmao folks* Bronn: night sol Archbishop Beorhtio: "I believe you should go to the forest first. More opportunities will no doubt arise afterwards." Zmey: golkas Isabel: "Thank you for your help, sir" Sheena looks a little disappointed, but tries pretty hard to hide it Isabel stands up and bows Streak (GM): is that all you want to ask Sheena: "Well, thank you all!" that's all i had Orme is glad to be going Sheena: anyone else? Bronn: bronn's asleep Isabel: I could do a check, see if there are any holes in my knowledge Orme: "Thank you sir, fare well" Bronn: he cant really ask anything Sheena: someone wake him up Zmey: "That was most informative, Archbishop, Sir." Orme picks bronn up Sheena: they probably get a lot of chosen ones let's take the money and run Mandragorian Priest: "If that is all, we wish you luck on your investigations in the Glyphwood, Crystal Warriors." Orme: "come along boy" Mandragorian Priest: "Please visit again if you need to." Bronn snores. Isabel: "We will do our best, sir" "And...sorry about our friend here" Zmey: "Will we really call ourselves Crystal Warriors..." "It sounds so two centuries ago." Streak (GM): NEed some music.. is this playing? Isabel: To Zmey: "That's why its cool" Sheena: "Hey, if you're gonna save the world, do it in style, y'know?" Streak (GM): i can't hear it Sheena: i can't either Bronn: it isnt whatever iti s Sheena: it's on the jukebox but Streak (GM): hmm Bronn: it is* Orme: "If you have a better name then please feel free to suggest one" Streak (GM): that's off odd its not playing Isabel: "Warriors of the Life Force?" "I got nothing" Orme: I can hear - oh Streak (GM): Boo, no music then?? Sheena: silence our theme song Isabel: quick, find a replacement Bronn: its not playing i guess Bronn : Athletics Check 29 Orme: Skill Gong Bronn: bronn leaps to awakeness Zmey: Heralds of Chaos Sheena: are we just walking off into the distance to end the episode then Orme: out the door Sheena: Fixers of Stuff Streak (GM): You all exit the church and return to the city. Orme: dragging bogrir by the plait Ceina: (i won't bother moving you) "Right." Ceina starts, "We've given you everything we can, for now. Go spend that money, if you like. I know there's a decent potion shop nearby." Streak (GM): now ceina has no potrait?? Orme: ceina is still there for me mate Bronn: well according to my map Isabel: The Ceina here doesn't have a name under here Bronn: her name isnt there Streak (GM): i wonder if something broke when sol left Bronn: we need the whole party Orme: why would that even happen tho Bronn: or things just fall apart Zmey: the balance... Cid: "Yeah, good luck, kids! Come back after you're done, and let us know how y'all got on!" Ceina: "I offer my good wishes as well. By the way, the messenger we sent to the Glyphwood, giving notice of your arrival, should still be stationed there. Make use of him to contact us if you need to." Isabel: "thank you, we will!" Sheena: now cid has no portrait in chat oh well Bronn: "ZZZZZZZZ" Streak (GM): You all begin to make preperations to leave. Sheena: "Thanks for all the help, both of you." Zmey: we can buythings Isabel bops Bronn on the head with her Earth Rod Zmey: yey Sheena: let's save the money up for if we find a Good Deal Zmey: buy a magitek Isabel: Potions, we need those Sheena: like what do we really need Streak (GM): I'm sure you all have people you need to talk to about your leaving.

Orme: "aha, so judging by the specifications, this device was built to _save_ lives" Sheena: "This is some really spectacular stuff, dude. I see why you're our guide!" Sheena laughs Streak (GM): it may be a little off according to what actually happened vs what i thought would happen Sheena: "Written like a true bard." Isabel: "Oh, oh! What about us?" Streak (GM): don't take it too literally though Odd Moogle: "You guys?" "Well, I guess I could..." Isabel: "Yes please" Streak (GM): I'll reveal them a bit later. Actually I guess I have written them Zmey: "Talented young dog child, that Keepo." Sheena: "I'd love any other information you can record on anything else we happen to come across." Isabel: So Streak, will we see Isabels family on the way to the forest? Orme: it is now morning Sheena: "I mean I love learning stuff. Just was never too good at remembering it."

Isabel: I'd have helped somehow Streak (GM): also it attacked randomly Sheena: robots are hard to hurt Streak (GM): because the flan was a terrible pilot Isabel: Magic worked well Sheena: we should have like a communal to-do list Streak (GM): and its beam attack could also have been a Heal Beam instead Sheena: for between sessions Orme: me and drufle were utterly useless Sheena: of what we want to accomplish Streak (GM): which would have been funny Bronn: hey!
