Random pre-session musings:

We have alot of books sitting in my bedroom. About 25 in total that aren't personal journals. Most of them aren't getting read. There's also a public magical library. Can you say, PR opportunity?

We'd still have access to the books, after all, and possibly even in an improved reading environment. And, better yet, they won't be stowed in someone's bedroom.

[Taricus]

Another pre-session musing: When's the server coming up?

[Weirdsound]

I was just going to ask that myself. I have a feeling there will be a decent amount of pre-job RP tonight.

[Haika]

Server is up now. Starting work on the pogs.

[Weirdsound]

Get your actions up guys. I might be able to roll a turn tonight if my PTA group can stomach a late start.

[Taricus]

Right, Geting mine up now...

10 Hours: Continued study. Continued study into this subjecty is the only viable way forward at this point in time, especially if it is to be ready within an acceptable amount of time.

2 Hours: Miscellania. Go into town, grab a few potions and such, and just enjoy a bit of free time. May as well get some new supplies so I can get those headsets up and running though. May as well end Andre an email detailing why someone went after him all of a sudden too, would be polite to inform him. (Supply trip, buying reagents for the enchanted headsets, as well as a potion do allow Dai to try some tattooing again.)

Purchasing a Target of Self Restoration from LA arms. -$16222.

[Grek]

My previous turn stands, and is quoted below for your convience:

1 hour: ID all seven of the unID'd books. Six from the naga hunt and that one that attacked us in Castle Glory that wasn't the Tome of Testicular Terror.
1 hour: Shopping at the Cursed Basement. Specifically, I'm looking to buy a complete corpse of a large bird. Like, an ostrich or an emu or something. This probably means buying Gore Bags, but I'm willing to just buy one if they can get it for me. Check out the other wares as well, though.
1 hour: Talk with Owner of the Cursed Basement. Specifically, ask if he's interested in exchanging Necromancer's Delight by the foot for cash or store credit. Also inquire after the various uses of puker undead, especially locally.
1 hour: Sail down to Hell with the Green Naga and possibly the bird parts, if I they had one.
4 hours: Quality time with the Yellow Lich. First, show him the parts. Find out how his day's been and if he needs any help with the mausoleum. If he seems in a good mood, invite him to stay at my place until we can rebuild it. While we're working on fixing the place up (or just snuggling; Lichipoo seems like a bit of a cuddler ), tell him about last night's exploits with the naga clan. Mention how they're considering me for adoption.
4 hours: Study from the book of Naga Scripture.

[Dwarmin]

My turns the same.

Action: 1 Hours-Speaking and tending to the Egg
Weird, huh? But Kathryn thought her...son...could probably hear inside the egg already, so she thought it would be important he knew her voice. She wanted him to know she would always be there for him. And there were some confessions best kept in the family.

Action: 1 Hours-Set up the Target of Self Restoration outside the manor in a covered area, setting up a small shooting/spelling range. Make sure it works by practicing quickdraws with my new pistol.
She planned to throughly test how durable this thing really was...

Action: 2 Hours-Flute Practice with Shelly continued, try to learn how to empower her spells by playing my own
Kath still wanted to practice with Shelley-in fact, she wanted to learn a strategy she knew real Musicians sometimes used, Accompaniment. In theory, channeling power into her own flute and giving it to Shelley might actually accomplish something-and of course, Performance magic was based upon confidence. Knowing Kathryn believed in her might be just as good.

Action: 6 Hours-Head Back to the Big W. Take ‘Stage Magic for Real Combat’ for $1700
Back to school!

Action: 1 Hours-Sign up for the Audition to Styxrunners, a part I can fit in an Archmages schedule-possibly even a Guest Star position if the Directors would like someone representing the New Order.
Kathryn was already an accomplished 'actor'-having used her skills to blend in socially to any number of situations. and humbly considered herself a passing beauty. She thought it would be interesting to get a part in the movie, and making herself a little bit more known couldn't hurt her Archmage career. The money wouldn't hurt either.

Hell, she'd play the Villianess if they asked her. That'd be fun for once...

Action: 1 Hours-Buy a heavy duty flashlight from a G-Mart, and swing by Sarahs Loot Cave after nightfall (possibly midnight), in my swimsuit and surfboard. If I attract attention and have to explain, say I was night surfing.
It should be easy enough to get in when there was no one around...

On an unrelated note: How does the following sound for doing the trials for Carly and Fitzpatrick?

We have a pool of six jurors on hand; Adrian, Ariel, Daintyroot, Henry, Kathryn and Knox. So we split them into a pair of tribunals, with Adrian, Ariel and Daintyroot trying Carly Summers while Henry, Kathryn and Knox try Fitzpatrick in order to avoid the most obvious jury biases. Then we try them, like a military tribunal, with the three judges serving as both jurors and inquisitors, investigating the case, hearing the witnesses and then voting on a punishment. Simple, straightforward, can be done in an afternoon.

[Dwarmin]

Sounds good to me.

[Criptfeind]

Sorry for a late turn.

Four hours: Set up Throwable Petrification. Total mod +10

Four hours: Call Apple and start working out a system for my lair.

Four hours: Collect the weapon left in my lair. Find out what it is and how it works. If a thing that can be practiced with do so.

[Weirdsound]

LA Jobs:

Cleaning House: (5 Days Left) Sapphire has decided that it is time to claim the old Halls of Legislature in the name of the Archmages. There are plenty of magical squatters that must be dealt with before restoration can begin.
Putting Down Roots: (2 Days Left) It would seem that a cult of Dragon Worshiping Deep Elves have established a portal somewhere in LA. They are shaking the city up in search of something or someone and making quite a mess in the process.
(!!NEW!!) Naturia Leak: (7 Days Left) It would seem that a portal to Naturia, an aggressive realm of plants and invertebrates, has opened in Hollywood. All sorts of monsters are emerging to cause havoc. Kestrel sees a mercenary group dealing with the portal itself within the next few days, but mopping up the remaining monsters will fall to the new order.

San Deigo Jobs:

Bajahahahaha!: (5 Days Left)  The neighboring Baja Peninsula Magic Society has been trying to seize San Deigo as their own for some time now. The lack of Archmages to stop them is worrisome. Kill off some of their scouts and spies to make them think twice about a full scale invasion.

Legislative Issues: (To be resolved in Mini Sessions, Forum RP, or Turns)

The Trial of Carly Summers:
The defendant stands accused of Conspiracy to Undermine the Legitimate Magical Government of Southern California. Archmage Kathryn Lynch has been selected to serve as judge and prosecutor of this case, and may organize the format of the legal proceedings as she wishes. The presiding Archmage has the authority to call upon anybody in her jurisdiction to serve as a juror, witness, or advocate.

The Trial of Fitzpatrick the Lucky:
The defendant stands accused of Conspiracy to Undermine the Legitimate Magical Government of Southern California. Archmage Kathryn Lynch has been selected to serve as judge and prosecutor of this case, and may organize the format of the legal proceedings as she wishes. The presiding Archmage has the authority to call upon anybody in her jurisdiction to serve as a juror, witness, or advocate. Note: This defendant may be up to something. He was strong enough to easily destroy the team of mages that arrested him but he surrendered without a fight.

Open Archmage Positions:
Society feels that it would be appropriate at this point to have 7-10 Archmages. Until such a number is reached, anybody may be made an archmage with the vote of 2/3rds of the existing archmages.

[Taricus]

Voting for Putting Down Roots.

[Grek]

Likewise with Putting Down Roots.

I also resent the implication that we couldn't have killed Fitzpatrick if we wanted to.

[Dwarmin]

Putting Down Roots sounds good to me.
