I think we're okay with that. One who waits and all that.

[GlyphGryph]

It's at 2pm and should only last an hour, and then its an hour ride back home assuming no traffic.

The game is after 5, so I might be back on time. If I'm late, I'll probably only be an hour or so late.

Of course, last time I did this I was home 7 hours later than expected, but thats because rush hour + surprise blizzard is miserable.

[GlyphGryph]

I'm here on time! Phew.

[Bdthemag]

Awesome, what time is it starting again?

[GlyphGryph]

Hmm... like, half an hour I guess? Though we'll mostly be dealing with confirming character point spending and whatnot. The beginning will be finishing up last weeks session, and then we'll be launching into this weeks.

I suppose we can start whenever we've got the people to do so, though.

[GlyphGryph]

A pretty good session and sidequest. Definitely got rolling a bit faster this time, which was nice - unfortunately, down half our players, but it still seems to have worked out:

Spoiler: Prelude, Episode 3 (click to show/hide)

(06:04:55 PM) GlyphGryph: The battle just ended, and Stiric stands over the twice dead corpse
(06:07:04 PM) GlyphGryph: Nerislyassa is gone, and in the middle of the road stands a strange woman in a long robe, holding a wooden staff capped by metal on both ends
(06:07:43 PM) GlyphGryph: Airutoth is badly injured, and limps back to Boggotaruach as the last of the creatures finally stops twitching on the ground.
(06:08:15 PM) GlyphGryph: The strange woman has run further down the road, and you both recently heard a scream from that direction
(06:08:43 PM) ***Airutoth sniffs at the dead people
(06:09:46 PM) GlyphGryph: Act at will, everyone
(06:09:51 PM) Stiric: ((Whoops sorry.
(06:10:04 PM) ***Stiric wipes his blade off with the mans shirt.
(06:10:06 PM) Boggotaruach: (oh, I thought you were still writing ^^))
(06:10:59 PM) ***Stiric cautiously looks at the two others.
(06:11:10 PM) Boggotaruach: ((can we see eachother?))
(06:11:21 PM) Stiric: ((I assume so.))
(06:11:23 PM) GlyphGryph: Stiric, you're further down the road with the lady in the robe
(06:11:41 PM) Stiric: ((Oh my bad.))
(06:11:50 PM) Airutoth: "We should... investigate"
(06:12:02 PM) ***Boggotaruach turns do Airutoth: "Can you walk?"
(06:12:08 PM) ***Airutoth sniffs at the corpse last time and limps down the road to where the scream came from
(06:12:19 PM) ***Stiric cautiously looks at the woman, "Who are you?"
(06:12:19 PM) Airutoth: "Im fine. Im used to this, really."
(06:13:12 PM) GlyphGryph: The woman approaches Stiric. "My name is Lady Ebru. I am a mystic from a faraway land, I've been using my magic to track this darkness for a while now"
(06:13:16 PM) ***Boggotaruach gives the corpses a quick glance to see if he can find anything useful, then follows Airutoth. "Indeed. Let's investigate."
(06:13:23 PM) GlyphGryph: "I am sorry I was too late to prevent this encounter."
(06:13:47 PM) Boggotaruach: ((by useful, I mean anything, really. sorry for being vague))
(06:14:07 PM) Stiric: "Well would have been nice to have some help, mind telling me what just happened?"
(06:14:32 PM) GlyphGryph: Up the road: The corpses are carrying nothing of any value, simply the clothes they wore. As you head down the road, you discover a man talking to the robed woman that rushed by you earlier, and several corpses at their feet
(06:15:38 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru: "This... *man*" she almost spits the word, "if he could even be called that, corrupted as he has been, messes with forces that should not be touched"
(06:16:19 PM) GlyphGryph: "And I did help, I am the one who robbed the dead man of his life force before he could strike you from behind, slowing him and guaranteeing an easy fall"
(06:16:35 PM) Stiric: "Well I guess I should thank you then."
(06:16:40 PM) GlyphGryph: She stops as she notices the dragon and Hruntar arrive
(06:16:58 PM) Boggotaruach: *Boggotaruach
(06:17:11 PM) GlyphGryph: You are a Hruntar, its your race
(06:17:12 PM) GlyphGryph:
(06:17:16 PM) Boggotaruach: Oh.
(06:17:23 PM) GlyphGryph: Heheh
(06:17:32 PM) Boggotaruach: ((I remember now. my bad))
(06:17:44 PM) Boggotaruach: ((I mistook it for being my first name))
(06:17:56 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru: "it was simply my duty, I wish I could have done more - if I had time to prepare... I did not expect him to have drawn these corpses to life so quickly, and to already be ambushing travelers on the road"
(06:18:35 PM) ***Stiric looks back at the two cautiously, "Who are you two?"
(06:19:01 PM) GlyphGryph: She points her staff at the two new arrivals, "You two, I am Lady Ebru, mystic. I noticed you fighting these creatures of darkness earlier as well, so I assume you are not merely monstrous allies of this corpse"
(06:19:09 PM) Airutoth: "Travellers."
(06:19:57 PM) Stiric: "Ah, so I assume you two were the source of that explosion."
(06:20:00 PM) ***Boggotaruach bows his head courteously towards the other two. "Forgive my companion. My name is Boggotaruach, a soldier for hire."
(06:20:31 PM) ***Airutoth giggles ''Airutoth.''
(06:20:37 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru looks Boggotaruach. "You have been wounded, insect. I see a soul burn on your shell. You barely show the injury, though - a warrior you must be to carry yourself so well through the pain."
(06:21:34 PM) GlyphGryph: "Ah, lizard, Airutoth, you are injured as well - for more serious an injury, yet at least yours will heal soon enough, unlike the soul burn."
(06:21:38 PM) ***Boggotaruach nods, as good as he can. "Perhaps"
(06:21:53 PM) Boggotaruach: ((aw, one second too late ))
(06:22:20 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru looks to Stiric "And you're name was?"
(06:22:47 PM) Stiric: "Stiric."
(06:24:37 PM) Stiric: ((Hold on pizza's here, be back in 5 minutes or so.))
(06:24:47 PM) Stiric: ((Feel free to say stuff for me, or whatever ))
(06:24:58 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru nods "There was also a girl here earlier, but she ran off."
(06:25:30 PM) GlyphGryph: "Airutoth, Boggotaruach, this dead man is the one who caused the corpses to attack you earlier"
(06:25:51 PM) Airutoth: "Snnrk. Dead."
(06:26:12 PM) Boggotaruach: "And who was this man, exactly?"
(06:26:12 PM) GlyphGryph: She prods a nearby corpse with her staff. The corpse slowly oozes brown blood from several cuts and stab wounds
(06:27:13 PM) GlyphGryph: "A dabbler in foul magics. I'd detected his activity from a ways a way, and hoped to arrive earlier enough to stop this - I fear I was too late. All these corpses are fairly fresh, and must have been his earlier victims."
(06:28:15 PM) Airutoth: "Snnrk. Yes. Day, maybe two. Foul magic?"
(06:28:44 PM) GlyphGryph: "He probably hasn't been here more than a few days, I'd wager - the first sign of real resistance and he kicks the bucket - but he probably intended his dark magic to be enough to intimidate people into submission, at which point he could rob them blind and kill them, to use as his slaves."
(06:29:30 PM) GlyphGryph: "Dark magic, necromancy and more. I do not know much about it - it is said no one does except its practicioners. I do know a little bit though, and I have some techniques at my disposal to counter many of its effects."
(06:29:51 PM) Boggotaruach: "How fortunate that we all arrived here at the same time, then."
(06:30:06 PM) Stiric: ((Back))
(06:30:36 PM) Stiric: "So your telling me I killed a Necormancer? Interesting..."
(06:31:06 PM) Boggotaruach: "This 'soul burn' you mentioned, my injury.. Would you know how to counter this?"
(06:31:47 PM) GlyphGryph: "Unfortunately, my power in that regards is limited." The woman uses the scarf around her neck to wipe a spot of sweat from her brow. "There is some I can do for regular injuries, but the exertion from the invisible battle I was just raging likely puts even that beyond my power at the moment"
(06:32:21 PM) GlyphGryph: "and the soul burn... I'm afraid there is nothing. It will heal, on its own, in time."
(06:32:52 PM) GlyphGryph: "Though I am sure you will feel the occasional spark of pain from it for many years to come."
(06:33:04 PM) Boggotaruach: "I.. see. Unfortunate."
(06:33:11 PM) GlyphGryph: "But within a few weeks, it should fade, a minor burn like that"
(06:33:37 PM) GlyphGryph: "You are lucky it did not manage to land a solid blow on you."
(06:34:12 PM) GlyphGryph: She turns to Airutoth: "I must say, I found your own magic quite... impressive. If a bit dangerous looking."
(06:34:45 PM) Airutoth: "Snrrk. It works. Sometimes.:
(06:35:07 PM) GlyphGryph: "And Stiric, I was fairly impressed by your sword skill. I know not where each of you head, but I sense there may be another source of dark magic around - perhaps lingering traces, but it may also be that this man did not act alone."
(06:35:41 PM) Stiric: "Im afraid I would have to decline, my cousin ran off screaming."
(06:35:51 PM) Stiric: "Not that smart of her to do that."
(06:36:43 PM) GlyphGryph: "That is part of what worries me, honestly. While this mage bit off more than he could chew in the two of you, one girl on her own in the forest could easily fall prey to any allies this man had"
(06:37:42 PM) ***Stiric sigh's.
(06:37:49 PM) Stiric: "Well how many of his allies are there?"
(06:38:35 PM) GlyphGryph: "IF he had any allies - I do not know for sure. It is possible he worked alone. As I said, my abilities are limited, I usually work by identifying these men to the local authorities."
(06:39:04 PM) GlyphGryph: (does anyone know who had the dice bot?)
(06:39:39 PM) Stiric: "Well I may as well join you, as long as we don't meet up with any of the authorities, I am not exactely friends with them at the moment."
(06:39:44 PM) Stiric: ((No.))
(06:40:01 PM) Airutoth: On e sec
(06:41:04 PM) Ironman2 [~Ironman2@86A6756D.7546C62B.8151DB95.IP] entered the room.
(06:41:07 PM) Airutoth: 4d6
(06:41:07 PM) Ironman2: Airutoth, 4d6: 14 [4d6=1,6,1,6]
(06:41:11 PM) GlyphGryph: "You did, in addition to anything else, just stab a man to death. I assume they would desire explanations in full, so you may be right"
(06:41:46 PM) Airutoth: "Snrrk. No. He was dead for a few days. Rotten. No questions asked."
(06:42:06 PM) Airutoth: "All of them. We are just travellers."
(06:42:41 PM) Boggotaruach: "I would prefer to go where there's coin to be had.. But perhaps, something can be worked out?"
(06:42:51 PM) GlyphGryph: "Not this one - he was alive not ten minutes ago. He kept fighting long after he died, but he was alive."
(06:43:14 PM) Airutoth: "His body is dead. Cant prove he was alive.'
(06:43:18 PM) GlyphGryph: The corpse she's referring to is carrying a rather simple looking sword and seems much better dressed than the others.
(06:43:25 PM) Stiric: "Yes, you two may go unnoticed, well atleast for as much as a dragon can. I can't really go near them for too long, seems they don't like loosing at dice."
(06:43:47 PM) Airutoth: "Good luck proving anything. Snrrk."
(06:44:01 PM) GlyphGryph: "Ah, hah, I see your point then. Still we have quite a few corpses to explain and us as the only living witnesses."
(06:44:06 PM) Stiric: 1d6
(06:44:06 PM) Ironman2: Stiric, 1d6: 1 [1d6=1]
(06:44:36 PM) Stiric: "I have no idea, don't usually deal with dead bodies often..."
(06:44:40 PM) Airutoth: "No, we do not. All of them are beginning to rot. A few days old. We just arrived."
(06:44:48 PM) GlyphGryph: "If we don't fancy spending a month in holding cell during the investigation, we might be best just moving on - assuming this was the only sorcerer here, my job has been done."
(06:44:57 PM) Airutoth: "Just found them here."
(06:45:19 PM) GlyphGryph: "So - we should report them, but express no knowledge of how they arrived here?"
(06:45:26 PM) ***Stiric looks at Airutoth, "Haven't you ever had any experience with the guards.?"
(06:45:42 PM) Stiric: "No, the guards would jail us in a second."
(06:45:52 PM) Airutoth: "Guards dont want to bother."
(06:46:17 PM) Stiric: "Well you don't know these guards, especially if im involved."
(06:46:30 PM) Airutoth: "Boggotaruach, we should move on. Us will complicate matters for two if they want to, snrrk, deal with guards."
(06:47:05 PM) GlyphGryph: "We can simply leave them here for others to discover, I think.
(06:47:09 PM) ***Boggotaruach "One moment, my friend." He approaches the well dressed corpse and starts searching trhough his belonging
(06:47:19 PM) Boggotaruach: *it's.
(06:47:26 PM) Stiric: "Listen, sooner or later the guards will come by and spot the corpses, they'll be on high alert searching for any suspicious figures."
(06:47:42 PM) Stiric: "And in my opinion, a dragon and a huntrar are pretty suspicious."
(06:47:53 PM) Airutoth: "Good luck proving anything"
(06:47:58 PM) ***Airutoth giggles
(06:48:03 PM) Boggotaruach: 1d6
(06:48:04 PM) Ironman2: Boggotaruach, 1d6: 1 [1d6=1]
(06:48:06 PM) ***Stiric lets out a long drawn out sigh.
(06:48:14 PM) Airutoth: Wazzup with the dicebot
(06:48:22 PM) Boggotaruach: "Then what do you suggest we do? Eat them?"
(06:48:25 PM) Airutoth: 20#1d6

(06:48:42 PM) Stiric: "Don't you understand? Your a dragon! If they spot you they are going to arrest you!
(06:48:43 PM) Stiric: "
(06:49:09 PM) Airutoth: "If you say so. Snrrk.
(06:49:39 PM) Stiric: "Hell they'd arrest you even if you didn't do anything."
(06:50:08 PM) Stiric: "Can we atleast try to get rid of the bodies then? Can't you magic types use fire or something like that?"
(06:50:26 PM) GlyphGryph: "I have no fire magic of any sort, so no."
(06:50:32 PM) Airutoth: "Snrrk. Your experience with the guards does not translate to normal people."
(06:50:36 PM) Airutoth: "Boggotaruach?"
(06:50:49 PM) Airutoth: Hmm
(06:50:50 PM) Airutoth: Not translate
(06:51:37 PM) Boggotaruach: "I do not know. What could we do about them? They smell allready."
(06:51:50 PM) Airutoth: Extends
(06:51:58 PM) Airutoth: "Leave them here and get moving."
(06:52:22 PM) Stiric: "Fine, better than being caught bloody standing over them."
(06:52:22 PM) Airutoth: "If those two want to deal with 'guards', let them"
(06:52:42 PM) ***Boggotaruach begins to pull the dead mans clothes off him - telekineticly - and forms them into a makeshift bag to put his newly found valuables in.
(06:53:09 PM) Airutoth: "Now, if You excuse me. Boggotaruach. Ill be just over here."
(06:53:17 PM) ***Airutoth walks back to the area of their encounter
(06:53:17 PM) ***Stiric looks at Boggotaruach, "Haven't you ever heard of respect for the dead?"
(06:53:41 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru: "Respect for a sorcerer?" She spits on the corpse.
(06:53:59 PM) Boggotaruach: "I respect the living. Those already gone matters not."
(06:54:32 PM) Stiric: "Now listen, we can either move the bodies off the road and head to the city. Or we can just go hide in the nearby forest's looking for any allies."
(06:54:49 PM) Stiric: "The Guards could be upon us at any time."
(06:55:31 PM) Boggotaruach: "What about this 'cousin' of yours?"
(06:55:50 PM) Stiric: "Well, she ran off towards the forest."
(06:56:14 PM) Stiric: "Only met her a few times at family gatherings, she did kill the necromancer first though."
(06:56:20 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru: "Where were you two headed - would she expect to meet you there? Perhaps we should just move on, then, quickly, and hope she catches up."
(06:56:44 PM) GlyphGryph: She closes her eyes, and hums a bit, swaying back and forth.
(06:56:45 PM) Stiric: "Lets just get out of here."
(06:57:16 PM) GlyphGryph: She opens them again, "If there was another sorcerer nearby, he must be far weaker - I'm getting no pulse of corrupt magic from the area."
(06:57:55 PM) Boggotaruach: "Right now.. This whole ordeal has picked my curiosity. Is there anyway you could find the other sorcerer - if there is one?"
(06:58:19 PM) Stiric: "
(06:58:39 PM) Stiric: "Wait shouldn't we be more focusing on getting away from the dead bodies? I'm all for chasing a bloody sorcerer but now's not the time."
(06:59:01 PM) GlyphGryph: "I could attempt to follow the trace of his corruption - it may lead to wherever he was hiding out"
(06:59:18 PM) GlyphGryph: "Stiric has a point, though, we should go."
(06:59:32 PM) GlyphGryph: "At the least, we should move off into the woods to discuss this should anyone come up the path."
(06:59:39 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru heads towards the trees.

(07:00:19 PM) Boggotaruach: "Yes, we should do that."
(07:00:36 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru: "Then perhaps you should take the lead. Should we retrieve the Airutoth?"
(07:01:01 PM) Stiric: "May as well, would be nice to have a dragon with us."
(07:01:05 PM) Boggotaruach: "If he is willing to come with us, I think we should."

(07:01:08 PM) Ironman2: Stiric, 1d6: 5 [1d6=5]

(07:04:33 PM) GlyphGryph: Her eyes glance towards the side of the road, widening for a moment before her face returns to calmness.
(07:04:39 PM) GlyphGryph: "Airutoth, let us go.
(07:04:57 PM) GlyphGryph: "We are heading into the woods to discuss things further, and perhaps track this woman and the mages hideout."

(07:18:42 PM) GlyphGryph: "To Melenterir, then. Stiric, you said you know this place like the back of your hand - if you would care to guide us back?"
(07:19:04 PM) Stiric: "But of course."
(07:19:51 PM) Stiric: "Well im not entirely sure where we are, but I can get a good look if I can climb on that tree over there.
(07:19:53 PM) Stiric: "
(07:20:59 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru: "Well, feel free then"
(07:21:25 PM) ***Stiric walks up the hill to the tree and attempts to climb up.

(07:22:26 PM) GlyphGryph: Stiric looks up at the tree a bit hesitantly, then begins scaling it.
(07:22:26 PM) Stiric: ((I got the luck of the irish!))
(07:22:41 PM) GlyphGryph: About halfway up, he tries to pull himself to a nearby branch... and slips.
(07:23:11 PM) GlyphGryph: Thinking quickly, he manages to dart out a hand and hook his leg around another branch
(07:23:36 PM) GlyphGryph: Swinging himself and bringing his shoulder banging into the tree, but breaking his fall.
(07:23:43 PM) Boggotaruach: ((hehehe))
(07:23:49 PM) GlyphGryph: It hurts a lot, but no real damage - beyond being stuck, upside down, in a tree
(07:25:01 PM) ***Stiric hanging from the tree shouts "Any help would be appreciated here!"
(07:25:04 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru: "Uh... Stiric? I'm not entirely sure if that's the best way to get a good view of the surroundings..."
(07:25:25 PM) Stiric: "Very funny."
(07:25:31 PM) GlyphGryph: "and how, exactly, do you want us to help you from down here?"
(07:25:49 PM) Stiric: "Well I don't know! Your the ones with the bloody magic!"

(07:26:34 PM) GlyphGryph: Stiric manages to swing his legs out and right himself, pulling himself to a sitting position
(07:27:00 PM) Stiric: "Nothing to it.

(07:27:30 PM) Airutoth left the room (Once you know what it is you want to be true, instinct is a very useful device for enabling you to know that it is).
(07:27:32 PM) Stiric: ((If only this was a battle!))
(07:27:34 PM) Airutoth [~kvirc@86A6756D.7546C62B.8151DB95.IP] entered the room.
(07:27:36 PM) GlyphGryph: He easily reaches the top of the tree
(07:27:52 PM) GlyphGryph: Stiric looks around at his surroundings
(07:27:54 PM) ***Stiric looks around from the top of the tree.
(07:27:58 PM) GlyphGryph: Hehehe

(07:29:50 PM) Boggotaruach: *roll
(07:29:59 PM) GlyphGryph: He can spot a small shack and tent in a clearing a good distance from where the road was, on the side of a hill invisible from the road
(07:30:04 PM) Stiric: 1d6
(07:30:05 PM) Ironman2: Stiric, 1d6: 5 [1d6=5]
(07:30:09 PM) Stiric: ((Awwww))
(07:30:39 PM) GlyphGryph: You also spot what looks like a person between you and the hill working her way back towards the road
(07:30:40 PM) Boggotaruach: ((Well, at least it wasn't a 1.. We wouldn't have wanted you to loose just like that, would we?))
(07:31:27 PM) ***Boggotaruach screeches "What can you see?"
(07:31:54 PM) GlyphGryph: You've also got a really good idea of where to go to get back to the city - you were only a couple hours out, after all
(07:32:08 PM) Stiric: "I see a shack on and a tent in a clearing a good way's away from the road, I also see a woman walking towards the road."
(07:32:09 PM) GlyphGryph: you're sure you could find your way now
(07:32:37 PM) Stiric: "Well what do you want to do?"
(07:32:59 PM) Stiric: "The house may be where the bandits would store items."
(07:33:34 PM) Boggotaruach: "I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps we should investigate?"
(07:34:04 PM) GlyphGryph: Ebru shrugs
(07:34:10 PM) GlyphGryph: "I suppose it might be worthwhile"
(07:34:27 PM) Stiric: ((Brb real quick.))
(07:34:57 PM) GlyphGryph: If the girl is on the way, perhaps she is who we seek, and we can retrieve her in the process."
(07:35:24 PM) Stiric: "May as well take a look at the shack, might be some good value items there."
(07:36:52 PM) Boggotaruach: "Sounds reasonable. First the girl, then the shack."
(07:37:03 PM) Stiric: ((Back was selling a TF2 item for three games ))
(07:37:29 PM) GlyphGryph: ((Now if only NewsMuffin would show up. :<))
(07:38:46 PM) Boggotaruach: ((heh. yeah))
(07:39:17 PM) GlyphGryph: ((Okay, let's put this on hold for now. We're down three players, and there's really not much beyond a few loot rolls before heading back to the city))
(07:39:46 PM) Stiric: ((Yeah good idea, 5 6's in a row is pretty dang lucky for me ))
(07:40:00 PM) Boggotaruach: (())
(07:40:07 PM) Airutoth: For a bit or for tonight?
(07:40:13 PM) GlyphGryph: ((You can all gain a Character point for this session, and if you want to we can continue on and play... a SIDE QUEST. ))
(07:40:29 PM) Stiric: (( I kinda gotta go, but maybe later.))
(07:40:34 PM) Airutoth: Not me, no, have to sleep
(07:40:41 PM) Airutoth: Maybe tomorrow, a bit earier?]
(07:40:48 PM) GlyphGryph: ((Ah, never mind then, I guess we're done for tonight. ^_^))
(07:40:56 PM) Boggotaruach: ((...okay.))
(07:41:04 PM) Airutoth: Night
(07:41:16 PM) GlyphGryph: ((Unless Boggotaruach wants to do something. We could play a bit of your background side quest. Everyone has one, and if you complete yours you get a free character point))
(07:41:26 PM) GlyphGryph: Night Airutoth ^_^
(07:41:30 PM) Stiric: Wait I want to do it
(07:41:34 PM) Stiric: I AM NO LONGER BUSY
(07:41:37 PM) Boggotaruach: nightnight!
(07:41:53 PM) GlyphGryph: TOO LATE SO SAD
(07:42:00 PM) Boggotaruach: I could do SIDE QUEST. At least for a while ^^
(07:42:04 PM) Stiric: D:
(07:42:06 PM) Stiric: NOOOOO
(07:42:18 PM) Stiric: Oh well.
(07:42:25 PM) Boggotaruach: aaaaw...
(07:42:39 PM) Stiric: You go ahead and do your background quest
(07:42:48 PM) GlyphGryph: You could help with Boggo's though. Every two other character side quests assisted will still give you a point
(07:43:08 PM) Stiric: Would I play an NPC?
(07:43:12 PM) GlyphGryph: Basically, yeah
(07:43:31 PM) Stiric: Sure, gonna also be checking on other things now and then but yeah.
(07:43:37 PM) GlyphGryph: Cool
(07:43:54 PM) Boggotaruach: kaykay!
(07:44:00 PM) Stiric: Can't wait for mine, would be interesting

(07:44:28 PM) GlyphGryph: Hehehe
(07:44:56 PM) GlyphGryph: So Boggo, any idea what sort of background quest you want?
(07:45:03 PM) Boggotaruach: Aaaw.
(07:45:06 PM) GlyphGryph: While I've got some fun ideas, it is YOUR history
(07:45:14 PM) GlyphGryph: I can do one of mine, or you can make a suggestion
(07:45:22 PM) Boggotaruach: ...tell me ideas?
(07:45:33 PM) Stiric: Mine better have a bar fight.
(07:45:51 PM) Boggotaruach: ..And broken windows?
(07:45:53 PM) GlyphGryph: Yours will have bar brawls, sex, stealing, gambling, and drinking
(07:45:59 PM) Stiric: Yus!
(07:46:03 PM) GlyphGryph: I've already got a good idea of it
(07:46:11 PM) Stiric:
(07:46:16 PM) GlyphGryph: We'll see how many of those you'll end up on the wrong side of, though
(07:46:20 PM) Boggotaruach: I don't really have a very concrete backstory thought out for poor Boggo
(07:46:27 PM) Stiric: None right? D:
(07:46:34 PM) Boggotaruach: AAAAAAALL,
(07:46:34 PM) GlyphGryph: Well, thats what the sidequest is there to help with!
(07:46:58 PM) GlyphGryph: Maybe we could handle how you left the colony - your a very social race with a big family
(07:47:09 PM) GlyphGryph: While its expected, it must have been tough to leave all your siblings behind
(07:47:13 PM) Stiric: That would be interesting
(07:47:15 PM) Boggotaruach: That would be nice, yeah?
(07:47:30 PM) Stiric: But your missing one thing, SEX AND BAR FIGHTS!
(07:47:35 PM) GlyphGryph: Heheh
(07:47:43 PM) Boggotaruach: "with a big family" makes it sound kind of maffiaish, though
(07:47:44 PM) GlyphGryph: And Stiric is your loooover that you left behind
(07:47:45 PM) Stiric: Wait I do not want to see insect sex...
(07:47:46 PM) GlyphGryph:
(07:47:57 PM) Boggotaruach: hehehehe
(07:47:58 PM) Stiric: NO FORGET WHAT I SAID
(07:48:01 PM) Boggotaruach: I could do that
(07:48:06 PM) GlyphGryph: ((j/k, btw, you're too young for that! ))
(07:48:07 PM) Boggotaruach: Or him, rather.
(07:48:38 PM) Stiric: ((wanna cyber?))
(07:48:47 PM) GlyphGryph: I imagine this is Boggos first big adventure, and they really don't start romantic entanglements until after a bit of traveling
(07:48:58 PM) GlyphGryph: ((I put on my cloak and beetles hat))
(07:48:59 PM) Stiric: Ugh, yes please.
(07:49:15 PM) Boggotaruach: The cloak is very important.
(07:49:23 PM) Stiric: Indeed.
(07:49:45 PM) GlyphGryph: ((Bloodninja: Oh yeah, aight. Aight, I put on my robe and wizard hat.)) ((For those who don't recognize the reference))
(07:50:02 PM) Stiric: I know that reference

(07:50:21 PM) GlyphGryph: Anyways
(07:50:22 PM) Stiric: Shame on thou
(07:50:46 PM) GlyphGryph: Boggo, was your colony many families, a couple, or just one?
(07:51:00 PM) GlyphGryph: Basically, is Stiric going to play a sibling or close friend?
(07:51:43 PM) Boggotaruach: Eeeehr, yes, back on topic,
(07:51:53 PM) Boggotaruach: A couple of large families.
(07:52:01 PM) Boggotaruach: Yes.
(07:53:26 PM) GlyphGryph: OKay, Stiric is your close friend... err...
(07:53:33 PM) GlyphGryph: What was your name again, Stiric?
(07:53:43 PM) Stiric: I dunno
(07:53:48 PM) Stiric: Make one up or something
(07:53:50 PM) Boggotaruach: Humpledorf.
(07:53:52 PM) Stiric: Oh Bdthemag
(07:53:58 PM) Stiric: If thats what you meant
(07:55:16 PM) GlyphGryph: Humpledorf it is
(07:55:45 PM) GlyphGryph: You are hanging out in hallway between your rooms
(07:55:47 PM) Boggotaruach: ...That's not really a very good name
(07:56:24 PM) Boggotaruach: ((But yes, hanging out))
(07:57:12 PM) GlyphGryph: You've been through a lot together, had a few scrapes, and you generally run with a pretty friendly group of about a dozen that call themselves the "Tree Darts". No one can really remember why, but they've got a reputation for always knowing the coolest hang out spots and the stupidest things to do to show off to your friends.
(07:57:32 PM) Stiric: How about trafalcon? Not beetle enough?
(07:57:54 PM) GlyphGryph: The two of you were sort of Defacto leaders back in the day, but now Hruntar have been coming of age and leaving to find their way in the world, and your old gang is down to around seven
(07:58:00 PM) GlyphGryph: Trafalcon is fine
(07:58:04 PM) Boggotaruach: ((It's better than Humpledorf...))
(07:58:22 PM) GlyphGryph: And now, Trafalcon, you find Boggotaruach is planning to leave in less than two weeks...
(07:59:31 PM) GlyphGryph: It was bad enough when your favorite brother left last month, and now Boggo is abandoning you as well.
(08:00:42 PM) GlyphGryph: Boggotaruach is wearing the cloak his mother made for him to wear on the journery - she's well known for being quite the seamstress, and it shows.
(08:00:52 PM) Stiric is now known as trafalcon
(08:01:05 PM) Boggotaruach: It is very glaring and eye-catching.
(08:01:11 PM) GlyphGryph: ((Come on people, you are supposed to be taking over for me any minute and coming up with these details. Just roll with it. ))
(08:01:22 PM) trafalcon: ((Oh sorry.
(08:01:28 PM) trafalcon: ((I have no idea what to put down.))
(08:01:35 PM) trafalcon is now known as Trafalcon
(08:01:45 PM) GlyphGryph: ((Hruntar actually have a wider ranger of colour vision, so if anything it is actually MORE garish to a Hruntar
(08:02:16 PM) Boggotaruach: Yes, it is garish in ultraiolett as well
(08:02:47 PM) GlyphGryph: ((As to what to put down - you're a bit upset, your friend is leaving, you've only got two weeks together, and you've got no plans to leave yourself, you're comfortable here. You could argue with him, suggest you do something big and dangerous and super fun before he leaves, etc. and so on)
(08:03:29 PM) Trafalcon: ((Well Boggo could open up first, im not good at starting conversations.))
(08:04:34 PM) GlyphGryph: ((Yes, he could. You could also start mid conversation, pretending to respond to something he said))
(08:05:35 PM) GlyphGryph: \0_0\
(08:05:57 PM) Trafalcon: ((Sorry phone call, brb real quick.))
(08:06:13 PM) GlyphGryph:  (( Boggotaruach! ))

(08:08:42 PM) Trafalcon: ((Ugh I actually have to go for awhile.
(08:08:51 PM) Trafalcon: ((really sorry guys something came up ))
(08:08:54 PM) GlyphGryph: ((Well if you don't come up with something else change it back 0_0 ))
(08:09:07 PM) GlyphGryph: ((It's alright, I'll take over until you get back, if you get back))
(08:09:11 PM) Trafalcon left the room (quit: Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
(08:09:42 PM) Boggotaruach: ukay?
(08:10:53 PM) You are now known as Trafalcon
(08:11:16 PM) Trafalcon: "I can't believe you've just decided to up and go. In the space of a week, even, leaving all your friends behind!"
(08:11:30 PM) Trafalcon: "I just don't understand why this is so important to you."
(08:11:45 PM) ***Trafalcon stomps his feet a bit in frustration.
(08:13:33 PM) Boggotaruach: "My family is important. Helping them is important. It's not like I am the first to leave, either. It's not like you didn't know I would leave at some point."
(08:15:21 PM) Trafalcon: "Maybe... maybe I just thought we'd both be one of the ones to stay. It happens, you know. Your dad never left, after all. I was just... I don't know."
(08:16:09 PM) Trafalcon: "Things are good here, we're happy, I know you want to help your family, but you've got more than a dozen siblings who can do that quite well on their own. Someone needs to stay here and carry on your line - why not you?"
(08:16:30 PM) ***Boggotaruach cleans his mandibles,
(08:18:26 PM) Trafalcon: "Fine, don't say anything."
(08:18:37 PM) Trafalcon: "Go ahead and leave, just like everyone else."
(08:19:21 PM) ***Trafalcon backs off a little bit, then turns. "If its so important to you, maybe you should just leave now, huh?"
(08:19:29 PM) Trafalcon: "I mean, why wait?"
(08:20:06 PM) Boggotaruach: "Well.. What do you want me to say? I am tougher than them.. Why would I want my siblings out there? It's not like here. They wouldn't make it."
(08:20:58 PM) Boggotaruach: "And it's not that easy. I can't just up and leave."
(08:21:26 PM) ***Trafalcon sighs, "I'm sorry, look... I know you're right. I know you feel the calling, and I can't stop you"
(08:21:57 PM) Trafalcon: "I don't want fighting like this to be my last memory of you either, I guess."
(08:22:25 PM) Boggotaruach: "Besides, out there? It's a chance to make something of myself. A name, and fortune. If I stay here, I'll just be another one of many."
(08:22:53 PM) ***Trafalcon telekens some string out of his harness as he turns back to you, idly tying it in knots as he thinks.
(08:22:54 PM) Boggotaruach: "I don't want that either. But you're the one pressing the issue, not me."
(08:23:32 PM) Trafalcon: "I know, I'm sorry, it's just... its hard, you know. I may not be going anywhere, but people know I'm going to stay, and already they are beginning to expect so much from me"
(08:23:53 PM) Trafalcon: "It's just... I wish you could stay, everything always seems so much easier when I know you're around to back me up."
(08:24:23 PM) Trafalcon: "Just like old times, you know - like when we were exploring that abandoned rooking nest, and the floor gave out under me?"
(08:24:48 PM) Trafalcon: "And you managed to catch me, and drag me back."
(08:25:07 PM) Trafalcon: "Hey, look, I know I can't change your mind, but maybe before you go..."
(08:25:13 PM) ***Boggotaruach scraps the dirt with my feet. "As I remember it, you were only in that mess because of me to begin with."
(08:25:18 PM) Boggotaruach: *his
(08:25:23 PM) Boggotaruach: *his feet ^^
(08:25:33 PM) Trafalcon: "Hah, yeah, I suppose you've got a point there."
(08:26:24 PM) Boggotaruach: "...But you were saying?"
(08:27:13 PM) Trafalcon: "Well. a lot of the younger tree darts still look up to you. I was thinking, before you go, maybe we could have one last hurrah together, eh?"
(08:27:35 PM) Trafalcon: "One last adventure to kick off YOUR big adventure, and to keep the memories fresh."
(08:28:22 PM) Trafalcon: "And I want you to promise when you've got the wanderlust out of your blood, even if you decide to settle down somewhere else with some lady, I want you to promise that you'll come back and let me know you're okay, alright?"
(08:29:14 PM) Trafalcon: "Give me those two things at least, and I won't breathe another complaint - I'll be right there at the front of the seeing-off ceremony waving a flag for you"
(08:31:26 PM) Boggotaruach: "It's not like I'm never planning to come home again, Falc. It's not very hard to promise that. And have I ever been one to turn down an adventure?"
(08:32:31 PM) Trafalcon: "Then lets do it. We'll plan it for the day before you leave, it'll be the Dart's own little Big Sendoff, eh?"
(08:32:43 PM) ***Trafalcon stomps his feet excitedly.
(08:33:13 PM) Trafalcon: "I think I've got a pretty good idea too, but I gotta talk it over with the others. I'll let you know later. Oh man, this is is gonna be so great."
(08:35:33 PM) Trafalcon: End Boggotaruach's Sidequest, Part 1

(08:35:53 PM) Boggotaruach: dumdumdumDUUUM

[Bdthemag]

I rolled 5 6's in a row, what the fuck.

[Strife26]

I'm excited for the next session, where I'm going to do my level best to be online for. Although there's a non-zero chance that I'll be standing guard, driving an armored vehicle, or herding Iraqi Army recruits during the time period.

[Darvi]

Why do I never hear of these sessions? :V

[scriver]

Because they're on a schedule; every Tuesday? The one that was agreed upon?
I have to admit I wondered why you didn't show up last time, as you said you couldn't sleep in the sad thread. I was *this* close to sending you a PM about it, but I didn't. Damn typical.

Also, strife, I want to say something witty about how that doesn't hinder you from getting online, but I can't seem to find a good way to put it. Is that because it isn't really funny?

[Darvi]

*counts days in head*
This started less than 2 weeks ago, so I don't think it was only on Tuesdays.

[scriver]

Yes. Two times so far, the first which was only supposed to be a preparatory session which ended up being the prelude, and then last Tuesdays session, which was also the when Billy-Bog began his sidequest. So two sessions so far. Both on Tuesdays.

[Darvi]

Then where does the "part 3" come from?

[scriver]

I think it is because he split the first session's transctibation into two parts, which would then be episode 1 and 2. If that's not it, then I don't know either.
