DM Monday August 24th, 1998 10:59:59 AM
Nonam sees the usual assortment of demihumankind around the fire. A couple of ogres, orcs, goblins, hobgoblins. None of them reveal any classes they may have by their appearance.
Gareth Monday August 24th, 1998 11:00:00 AM
Girding up his loins and trying not to look nervous Gareth slowly approaches the tent trying to absorb as much as he can around the area without turning his head and keeping his mouth firmly shut.
Flaust Monday August 24th, 1998 11:00:01 AM
Flaust stays near Kat, trying to build up at least a small amount of courage
Tiburon Monday August 24th, 1998 11:00:02 AM
Tiburon walks with Onrad and Nonam ,looking around to see the reactions of the other creatures there. He looks at the others , snorts, and looks back to where the party is heading.
Kat Monday August 24th, 1998 11:00:03 AM
Kat seeing Flausts fear licks her lips suductivly and blows her a kiss while rolling her eyes, tring to chear Flaust up as she moves toward the tent.
Nonam Monday August 24th, 1998 11:00:04 AM
Nonam follows Gareth and grins an evil smile at the voice's compliment.
Teko Monday August 24th, 1998 11:00:05 AM
Teko approaches the tent with the others. He attempts to determine the direction from which the voice emanated.
Jus Monday August 24th, 1998 11:00:06 AM
Jus continues onward with the others.
Flaust Monday August 24th, 1998 11:00:07 AM
Flaust giggles a little and continues moving with the party
Nonam Monday August 24th, 1998 11:00:08 AM
Nonam looks up at the sky and mutters, "Oh great master of this little game. We await your guidance."
DM Tuesday August 25th, 1998 10:59:59 AM
The tent flap opens and a voice booms, "Come." Inside are 3 figures sitting in chairs on stilts 6 feet in the air facing a contoured map of the area. All three have the head of lions and smoke identical pipes. They are Rakshazas. Lithe sensual forms with horns on their heads and see-thru gauze for clothing flit to and fro over the map arranging details as they are commanded. One flits over to the party and says, "Could I relate your business please?" She winks flirts and gyrates in a most carnal, but innocent way as if this was what she was born to do and could no easier stop her amoral teasing than you could stop breathing.
Kat Tuesday August 25th, 1998 11:00:00 AM
Kat sits amazed at the spectacle. she looks at the map tring to decern and military details from it that she might be able to amke out.
Flaust Tuesday August 25th, 1998 11:00:01 AM
looks to Kat and says" Great, now the boys will really be showing off."
Gareth Tuesday August 25th, 1998 11:00:02 AM
With as much poise and stature as he can muster Gareth says "We were ordered to bring you these..." And with that holds out the satchel.
Gareth Tuesday August 25th, 1998 11:00:03 AM
With as much poise and stature as he can muster Gareth says "We were ordered to bring you these..." And with that holds out the satchel.
Nonam Tuesday August 25th, 1998 11:00:04 AM
Grins, licks his lips, and stares at the display before him.
Teko Tuesday August 25th, 1998 11:00:05 AM
Teko closely observes both the rakshazas and their servants. And he checks for signs of anyone else in the room.
Sensual Form #1 Wednesday August 26th, 1998 10:59:59 AM
"Why thank ye brave sir," she purrs. She flits her wings in Gareth's face, and flits like a butterfly over to the Rakshaza on the left. She says, "Of course sir," and opens the satchel removing the plans and presents the seal to him.
Rakshaza #1 Wednesday August 26th, 1998 11:00:00 AM
He snifs it once and then looks at it strangely examining it very closely. He then snifs of it again. ...and growls deeply. The other Rakshazas turn their attention from the plans to 'The Bloody Claws.' The first one's anger builds. He whirls toward Gareth and shouts, "How long ago did you receive this?"
DM Wednesday August 26th, 1998 11:00:01 AM
Kat and Nonam see very straight forward plans to take the northern army in a sweep of the northern frontier towns. A major flight of dragon figures are pointed at Windhorn Hamlet and a crudely rendered drawing of a Dragon Sentinel is etched into the tabletop. A few figures represent the Southern Army which seems poised to attack the western frontier towns of New Elenna and work south toward South Harbor.
Nonam Wednesday August 26th, 1998 11:00:02 AM
My master called us through the mists and gave them to us. It was no more than a day ago. I lose track of time when we travel that way. We could have been here sooner, but humans attacked us when we came back through the mist. Heh heh, which was good 'cause we got to kill them.
Gareth Wednesday August 26th, 1998 11:00:03 AM
Waits for the being to respond to Nonam's explanation.
Rakshasa #1 Thursday August 27th, 1998 10:59:59 AM
"Pah!" He spits. "You should be struck down for such insolence. Speaking in your leader's place! What gall! You are truly acting more human since your treatments began." He turns and opens the seal. He unrolls the scroll and reads the contents. As he reads his expression changes. "Ahh, a change in route. This is good! The Dark One has outdone himself this time. The time of our rulership is at hand!" He flicks the scroll at the table and some of the sexy little demons began to reshape the map to have the army advance through a secret valley where they will not be seen by the enemy until they are nearly upon them, bursting from this secret valley the Dark Lord has found into the midst of the enemy. "You have done well comrades! Victory is ours for the taking! Then will come the new age when the Dark Lord ousts the Gods of Wold and the God of Yore!" All three stand and salute. "Dismissed!"
Jus Thursday August 27th, 1998 11:00:00 AM
Jus bows slightly and backs away, casting one last glance at the "butterflys" as he leaves the tent.
Teko Thursday August 27th, 1998 11:00:01 AM
Teko also bows slightly and backs away with the rest of the party.
Tiburon Thursday August 27th, 1998 11:00:02 AM
Tiburon glances one last time at the sandtable to see the new line of march for the armies. He tries to memorize the new routes as he bows and backs from the tent.
Nonam Thursday August 27th, 1998 11:00:03 AM
After a quick wink for one of the 'sexy demons,' Nonam bows and turns to walk out of the tent.
Gareth Thursday August 27th, 1998 11:00:04 AM
Gareth salutes in return and retreats last after all the others have begun to move and exits the tent.
DM Friday August 28th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
As the party leaves the command tent, the tent shimmers and begins to disappear. The voice of the Rakshaza speaks. "One more thing...Kill the messengers." The dead rise from the cultivated dirt in the darkness beyond the fire. Elves, humans, ane more. Then the shock hits you. These are The Three, but dead. Gareth, Jus, Nonam, Onrad, Kat, Flaust, Tiburon, Teko. They are all here. The wounds look exactly like the wounds you gave to the Bloody Claws. (Roll for surprise at -2.)
DM Friday August 28th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Round 1-(The party gets initiative.)The front row of undead stand 50 feet away from you. Gareth, Tiburon, Onrad and Teko are in their front row. The rest are in back. There is about 15' between them on the front row. 20' between each of them on the back row. The back row is 30' behind the front row.
Gareth Friday August 28th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Gareth pulls out his sword and also the horn he kept from the clearing. "Retreat to the beginning of the road! Get ready to use our other way out!" and with that blows the horn.

Kat says "OK boys how about the ring now??"
Teko Friday August 28th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Teko unsheaths his short sword and attacks any undead that comes to meet him. He also looks for any sort of discrepency which might reveal these creatures as illusory.
DM insert Saturday August 29th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
The undead's AC is 4 in case it's needed.(FYI)
Nonam Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Nonam retreats with the others. "Let's get out of here!"
Jus Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Jus, not surprised (6), moves in front of Kat and Flaust, pulling out his bow. "I've always wanted to do this!" he quips to Nonam as he fires two +1 arrows at the undead Nonam. Both arrows hit the creature (h16, h9) for 3hp and 7hp.
Nonam Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Not suprised either (7), "HEY!!!" In childish fashion, Nonam retaliates with a magic missle. The 3 bolts of energy race toward the undead Jus for 13 points of damage (4+1,2+1,4+1).
Gareth Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
If nothing happens when Gareth blows the horn he says to Kat "The ring would be good about now!"
Flaust Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Flaust shakes her head quickly as if coming out of a daze. "sorry, this is too much." Flaust puts on the ring and then hands it to Kat
Onrad Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
Onrad races back to the area where they first arrived. Onrad reaches for the ring, puts it on and passes it. Looking around he comments, "Gareth, I do believe the horn is working, this vile place seems to be fading, but not our enemies! Quick everyone, pass that ring!"
Kat Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
Kat casts Magic Missle at any Undead that aproach. (4+1, 1+1, 3+1) The she says, "The ring boys, please keep it moving."
Gareth Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
Gareth puts the ring on and passes it on. He attacks any undead that approach making sure he's between them and the ring.
Teko Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
Teko(who was not suprised earlier, by the way, rolling a total of 5 {3 + 2 reaction bonus}) stands ready to parry. He, too, eagerly puts on the ring when it comes to him and then passes it on to the next person.
Jus Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:09 PM
Jus uses the ring. "I guess your mommy would be mad if we left you behind", he teases, giving the ring to Nonam.
Nonam Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:10 PM
Silently Nonam slips the on the ring, and then he passes it on to the next person.
Tiburon Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:11 PM
Tiburon puts on the ring and passes it back to Kat, " I think that's everyone, dear," Tib smiles," Shall we go ?"
Kat Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:12 PM
Kat doubble checking to make sure everyone has put on the ring, places it on her own finger as she winks at Tib. "Home James." she says as she visualizes home.
DM Saturday August 29th, 1998 3:00:13 PM

Nonam Monday August 31st, 1998 2:59:59 PM
Nonam screams "DIE! DIE! DIE! HUMAN FILTH!!! I'LL SEND YOU TO MY MASTER AGAIN!!!!!!!" Then he throws a pair of daggers at the undead Jus. Both hit (13/17 needed 11) and do 10 points of damage (3+2/3+2).
Gareth Monday August 31st, 1998 3:00:00 PM
At Onrad's words, Gareth looks through the gathering mists to see if the party is going back to the camp. "Die again human!" He attacks the creature that looks like Gareth with a viscious down slice across his chest laying it open for all to see (10 w/ 13 dmg). "Try again when the mists clear Kat!" Gareth yells.
Flaust Monday August 31st, 1998 3:00:01 PM

DM Wednesday September 2nd, 1998 2:59:59 PM
Kat comes to the realization that the evil, vision obscuring, green mist cleared some time ago and that all that remains is some normal mist which doesn't really seem to impair the group. She is free to act if she wishes.
DM Wednesday September 2nd, 1998 3:00:00 PM
As the fight progresses, many of the demihumans who were gathered around the campfires outside the now disappeared tent begin to come over and watch. As they cheer, it quickly becomes apparent that they came to watch a fight, but it's hard to determine which side they are cheering for.
Tiburon Wednesday September 2nd, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Tiburon draws his sword and swings at The Tiko ( a 13 ) and does 5hp's to the vile creature.
Onrad Wednesday September 2nd, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Onrad strikes out twice at The Tiburon rolling 6 and 15 hitting once for 8 points of damage. He screams: "Die enemies!" With all the confusion Onrad is not sure who is closed with who.

Knowing that the Undead can't drain her she steps up to the undead Noman, in order to defend Jus. "I've allways wanted to do this!" she says as she swings at his head in an attempt to take it off. (Called shot -2 using 3 hero points [13 +3 = 16] for 4 pts. dam)
DM Thursday September 3rd, 1998 2:59:59 PM
Kat doesn't succeed in lopping off the Nonam's head, but she does but the monstrosity down. The Jus succumbs to Nonam's magic, and Gareth opens himself up in brutal fashion. Gareth we need a Con check to see if you have the strength to go on after killing yourself.
DM Thursday September 3rd, 1998 3:00:00 PM
The Flaust is tangled in Flaust's net.
DM Thursday September 3rd, 1998 3:00:01 PM
The remaining undead move to attack. The Kat gets up from the ground. The Onrad attacks Flaust with tooth and nail. It strikes (14/14) doing a total of 9 points of damage. Flaust feels pain from the damage, but she also feels warmth and engouragement from Alemi for the 1st time in a long time. She does not lose a level. The Teko attacks Tiburon, but once again fails to hit (10). The Flaust begins trying to chew through the net. The Tiburon swings a clawed hand at Onrad's face.

Onrad Thursday September 3rd, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Receiving no indication as to whether his tactics worked last round, [grin] Onrad once again tries to position himself so as to free up Tiburon to cast by drawing Tib's attacker onto himself. He strikes at The Tiburon twice hitting both times (17 and 15) doing 7 and 6 points of damage respectively.
Gareth Thursday September 3rd, 1998 3:00:03 PM
With great effort, Gareth grimaces with effort (13 Con check) as he turns and slices at The Tiberion hitting it square across the right shoulder and chest opening a big hole (17 to hit 12 dmg).
DM Friday September 4th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
With the combined effort of Gareth and Onrad the Tiburon falls to the ground dead... again. Now that Onrad has freed himself from mortal danger, he sees that his companions are winning the battle with little effort. Onrad sees that Tiburon is fighting the Teko, but Tiburon seems to have the upper hand. Kat and Jus are working together and have just put down their opponent. Teko is wailing away on the netted Flaust. Nonam stands over a smoking corpse and seems to be looking for another victim... then he spies Flaust. She looks as if she could use some aid, but there's a fire in her eyes that's been missing for a while.
Nonam Friday September 4th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Nonam moves to aid Tiburon. He pulls out the wand of shocking and zaps the Teko for 8 points of damage.

Tiburon Friday September 4th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
Tiburon drops to one knee as he swings at The Teko's knee( a called shot -4 to hit)to attempt to cripple it. He swings ( rolls an 18, promise) and hits the left knee for 3 hp's.
DM Saturday September 5th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
Flaust's spell goes off and the Flaust in the net can not move. Tiburon's tactic drops the Teko, but it is still struggling. The Onrad draws both of its swords and attacks Flaust, but misses twice (5/8). The Kat attacks Jus with a claw and a bite. The claw slashes wildly at thin air, but the foul things manages to chomp down on Jus's arm. He takes 5 points of excrutiangly painful damage from the Kat's lovely undead teeth, and he feels the chill.
Gareth Saturday September 5th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Not being able to easily bring himself to hit The Kat, Gareth focuses his attack on The Onrad, ripping into it with deadly accuracy twice (12,18) for 27 hp dmg (12, 15).
DM Saturday September 5th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
The Onrad falls before Gareth's mighty onslaught. The crowd of demihumans around the battle cheer wildly as the Onrad falls. Gareth notices Crud in the group, whooping wildly and screaming "Kill the humans!!! KILLKILLKILL!!!!!"
Nonam Saturday September 5th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
With the Teko on the ground, Nonam focuses on the only undead still standing, the Kat. "Die you tramp!!!" He throws 2 daggers. The handles glow as they streak through the air. The first hits (14) and does a whopping 4 points of damage, but the second just barely misses (10).
DM Sunday September 6th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
Kat realizes that the Nonam is down for good even if it's head is still attached.
Teko Sunday September 6th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Teko swings at The Kat, missing with a 12.
Jus Sunday September 6th, 1998 3:00:01 PM

Onrad Sunday September 6th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Onrad stops to play to the audience for a moment just to be sure they are on our side screaming, "Bloody Claws! Bloody Claws! Hip-Hip......" Then he points to the crowd directing them and hoping they say 'Hooray' Then he swaggers and cavorts over to The Kat and strikes at her twice hitting twice with a 15 and an 11 for 3 and 7 points of damage.
Kat Sunday September 6th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Kat moves to the Flaust in the net and begins to pummell it back to it's un-undead state. She hits it twice through the net. (20 and a 16 for 9 pts of dam.)
flaust Sunday September 6th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Flaust begins casting cure light wounds on Jus (5)
Jus Sunday September 6th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
Seeing Flaust coming his way, Jus quickly shakes his head. "Just a scratch. Don't waste your healing on me."
DM Monday September 7th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
At Onrad's prompting, Crud screams, "BLOODY CLAAAAAWWSSSS!!!" And the crowd goes wild. The Kat succumbs to Nonam and Onrad's assault and becomes one of the redead. The Teko recovers just enough to take one more swing at Tiburon but misses wildly (1). It now lies on it's back exposed to the world. The Flaust keeps trying to chew through the net, and acutally seems to be making a little progress. Given another 15 minutes it might free itself.
DM Monday September 7th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
One of the onlookers screams, "The one that threw the net hasn't ever hit anyone!!! He must be a weak willed elf!!!" Then the crowd begins to chant "Net Thrower kill a human for us! Net Thrower kill a human for us! Net Thrower kill a human for us!"
Gareth Monday September 7th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Gareth turns to Flaust and somewhat softly says "Will you kill the thing under the net? It would really help you, us, and the tormented thing go back where it should be." and with that turns and nails The Teko into the ground with his sword (16 TH, 17 dmg).
Nonam Monday September 7th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
In a wanton display of power, Nonam casts burning hands straight into the air. The arc of flame crackels with heat and magic as it shoots up into the air. Then Nonam screams, "WE'LL KILL THE HUMANS WITH THEIR OWN MAGICS!!!"
DM Tuesday September 8th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
Gareth's mighty blow drops the Teko, and the fans go wild, "Tokor! Tokor! Tokor!" Then Nonam flames the air, and the crowd gets quiet. Then at the brief speech they go berserk. They scream, whoop, and yell, "Bloody Claws!!!" They carry on for a bit, and then one notices, "Hey the net thrower still needs to kill one! He doesn't deserve to be a bloody claw!!" And they begin again, "Net Thrower Kill!!! Net Thrower Kill!!!" They begin to press closer and at times the chant seems to sound more like, "Kill Net Thrower!!!"
Teko Tuesday September 8th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Teko waits to see what will happen next, but remains ready to fight and takes a good look around for any suprises.
Jus Tuesday September 8th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Jus is shaken when he realizes he can no longer remember his 2nd level spells. He manages to keep his composure (con check rolled 4), and looks around for any more undead.
Kat Tuesday September 8th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Kat continues to wail on the Flaust within the net, screaming "Go back where you came from!!!" She dosen't seem to notice anythng else, as a matter of fact she seems to have lost it a bit. (13 hits ac 5 for 4pts dam)
Flaust Tuesday September 8th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Flaust gets the appearance of numbness and turns to Kat. Quietly she says,"Give me a blade"
Gareth Tuesday September 8th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Gareth walks over to The Flaust and positions himself betweem the screaming crowd (or at least the largest rowdiest portion of it) and the rest of the party. Seeing Flaust ask for a blade he turns and bellows "We thank you for watching while we rid this camp of filth and dirt! After our net thrower kills the last one we must leave on The Dark Lords business. Crud! you and your men keep everyone back a minute so we can hurry up and finish. Don't let them stop us from the Dark Lord's business!". And with that turns and watches to make sure things go like he thinks they will. "Ring guys. Now would be good."
Gareth Tuesday September 8th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
With an evil grin Gareth also shouts back to the creatures. "When we leave you guys should clean up this mess. I hear human has a great taste to it!"
Nonam Tuesday September 8th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
"She's the bloodthirstiest one of the bunch. That's why we make her use a net. She never leaves enough humans for us to kill. Now boys, step back and watch a master...."
DM Wednesday September 9th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
The orcs calm down a bit and all eyes focus on Flaust.
Nonam Wednesday September 9th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Nonam goes over and rests a hand on Kat's shoulder, and says quietly, "stop."
Flaust Wednesday September 9th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Flaust approaches "the flaust" Standing above the net trapped figure, Flaust pulls a dagger from her wrist sheath. She then raises the dagger into the air and begins whispering something.
DM Wednesday September 9th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
The orcs all strain to hear the whispering. They're all eager to see exactly what happens.
Flaust Wednesday September 9th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Flaust brings the blade down hard and fast. (16- hits ac 5 due to non-proficient pen.)
DM Thursday September 10th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
Being held by the net like The Flaust is, the hit goes true and fine striking the undead and burying itself to the hit in the top of The Flaust's head. Then a cracking sound occurs as the head splits into falling to the left and the right each resting sideways on the creatures shoulders as it collapses dead.
Crowd Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
The crowd goes wild! They yell, "Blooooody Net Thrower! Blooooooody! Blooooooooody!"
Onrad Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
"And now we leave you to your feasting!" Onrad reaches out for the ring.
Gareth Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Turns triumphantly to the crowd and says Crud! Keep them back while we finish! Then he turns, takes the ring from Onrad, puts it on and passes it on.
Nonam Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Takes the ring and passes it.
Teko Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Teko quickly slips on the ring when it comes to him and passes it on.
Kat Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
Kat continues to wail on the body in the net untill Noman aproaches her, she then colapses and holds out the ring.
Flaust Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
Flaust puts on the ring and passes it
Onrad Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
Onrad looks at Tiburon and with a crooked grin says, "Ya wanting to stay or somethin'?" Then to Kat, "Where are we off to?"
Jus Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
Jus takes his turn at the ring and walks over to Tiburon, "You better slip it on again, since it's been a few minutes."
Tiburon Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:09 PM
Tiburon takes the ring from Jus, slips it on, removes it and hands it to Kat." Just waiting for everyone else to do their thing.Shall we go to do more of our Lord's Business ?" says Tiburon.
Gareth Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:10 PM
"I'd say he has earned our best efforts and work."
Nonam Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:11 PM
"Well let's be off. That is if this thing is going to work this time."
DM - The Scribes of Wold Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:12 PM
The Scribes of Wold calmly put down their pens for the first time in millenia waiting for Kat to declare the location she is teleporting the group to.
Kat Thursday September 10th, 1998 3:00:13 PM
Kat puts the ring on and imagines the room they left from.
DM Friday September 11th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
The Wold spins around you and the chants of the Dark Lord's Army die away. You appear in an empty room devoid of all furniture. You recognize it as the conference room you were in before, one door leading to the War Room and one leading to the kitchen. Both rooms are also empty. A magic mouth forms in the wall. "Intruders detected! Drop your weapons and prepare for interrogation!"
Guards Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
A contingient of 20 guards open the door and rush into the War Room. The leader spots you and says, "Surrender." The soldiers seeing an orc adventuring group, begin to spread themselves out through the room. One throws a small block onto the ground and says, "Get to know me, Domi!" It grows into a barricade. Some of the soldiers crouch behind it and draw arrows. One soldier upon the nod of the leader rushes out the door.
Gareth Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Gareth puts up both hands in front of him. "Not the welcome we were expecting. We are NOT orcs, we are the Three who were polymorphed into orcs for a special mission for General Livermore. We can prove this if you check. We just returned from the mission with information for him."
Flaust Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Flaust , physically and emotionally exhausted, collapses to the floor.
Nonam Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Nonam throws down his weapons as he spouts off, "Back off! Orcs are too stupid to figure out how to teleport into here!"
Jus Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
"Or check with Roscoe or Fireball."
Kat Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
Kat drops the illusion spell, and sits next to flaust, looking at the nearest guard she makes eye caontact and growls "Get Roscoe or the Genral NOW!"
Tiburon Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
Tiburon goes over to a chair in the courner and sits with a sigh.
Teko Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
Teko sets his weapons down slowly, puts his hands up, and waits quietly.
Flaust Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
Flaust looks at her hands and as a tear rolls down her cheek says, " I didn't want to do it. I don't know what happened. I lost it. The blood all the blood."
Nonam Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:09 PM
"Flaust, you didn't kill anything. You merely returned a dead thing to the grave. You and I both know that Alemi encourages his preists to fight the undead, and he gives them the power to destroy them."
Guard Leader Friday September 11th, 1998 3:00:10 PM
"Flaust? Orcs don't cry over a kill. Lower your weapons lads. These are The Three! Why the @#$% did you guys teleport back here? General Livermore left to take command of the army an hour ago. Just after you left. Follow me. Explain as we go. The new headquarters is a few blocks away."
Onrad Saturday September 12th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
"I thought our next stop was Edonmoor? Wasn't it? Kat, why did you bring us back here?"
Tiburon Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
"Well Flaust," says Tiburon," I guess you'll have some Major attonement to do. Using a BLADE to kill a helpless creature, I didn't think a Patriach of Alemi could use an edged weapon. I bet if you you got down on your knees and prayed real hard, Domi would show you the way."
Flaust Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
" Tiberon, you may be right, but that is between my God and I. Perhaps you should judge your own decisons and let me deal with mine. "
Nonam Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
"Well I wasn't in charge of the teleporting, but there's a good chance that the Darklord's army is expecting are attack. Their general seemed to know about us and tried to have us killed by undead which looked like us... as humans. We need to let General Livermore know."
Jus Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Could be, but I bet Fireball turned the Bloody Claws into us, and the enemy just wanted to tie up loose ends. What better and more ironic way than to use undead "humans" that we just defeated.
Onrad Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
I think in a sort of perverted way that giving The Bloody Claws the chance to kill the ones who they fought before in front of the army was a sort of reward. Also a final test of their power. Who's gonna get tested more than a succesful group on the heels of a great triumph of being allowed to carry the Dark Lord's battle plans? Yes we should report it. We should be debriefed by General Livermore. We should get to him as quick as possible.
Kat Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
"Look I have had a rough day, I have never seen Edenmor so we came here! You want to go some where else, someone else use the damm ring!"
Nonam Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
"We should probably get someone here to teleport us there. We can't be late with this. Guard, are either Fireball or Roscoe still here? Or anyone else who can polymorph us back to humans and teleport us to the army? Also we were in battle with undead and could really use a preist."
Tiburon Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
" But Flaust, " says Tiburon," It looks like you made your decision when you used that blade while I haven't gone against the tenents of my faith. I'm sure that Domi would gladly take you in help you with your problem."
Flaust Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
To Tiburon , Flaust says," Tiburon, please just mind your own business." Flaust then turns away from Tiburon and addresses the party. " Can we please just go do whatever we are supposed to do? I can't take much more of this."
Tiburon Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:09 PM
" Ah Flaust," says Tiburon with a smile," converting wrong-doers IS my business. It should be yours too. "
Teko Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:10 PM
After picking up and sheathing his weapons, Teko follows the guard leader, but remains quiet.
Kat Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:11 PM
Kat crosses to Tiburon "Leave her ALONE!"
Onrad Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:12 PM
"Lay off Tib. This discussion can be saved for another time and another place. It is DEFINITELY not Domilike to hit a person when she's down even figuratively. Look to your own faith!"
The soldier Saturday September 12th, 1998 3:00:13 PM
The soldier leads the party across Humble Street into Campfire Court where he leads the party into Campfire Court Barracks. There a new makeshift operations has been set up. The head soldier says, "General Zerina, it was The Three teleporting back after their mission. Here they are." An attractive woman in a general's outfit says, "Report!" She turns to Flaust for the answer.
Nonam Sunday September 13th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
"Damn it. We're in a hurry. How many reports do we have to make?"
Flaust Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Flaust stands regains composure and states, "After successfully delivering the altered plans, a map was displayed. I believe Kat saw the map well enough to relate what was on it. As we left, the rakashas ordered the death of the messengers. We were then confronted by undead whose appearance resembled our true forms, and not our disguises. After a most disheartening battle we arrived here."
Onrad Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Onrad seethes and gritting his teeth with his hand on his sword says to Nonam, "Nonam is it your intention to insult every person we meet who is in a position to help us?" He then turns to the General and says, "I'd apologize for him, but he'd just say something worse. Is there anything else you need to know? This has been a very soul draining experience for us and we are weary of it. We are anxious to move on and put this behind us."
Jus Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
"Draining... Yes, Draining! I don't suppose you could restore what the undead just took from us?" Jus then explains that he can no longer remember his second level spells, nor can he fight quite as well -- a result of the encounter with the undead Three.
Nonam Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Nonam blows Onrad a kiss, "Onrad, you make such a cute orc when you're angry." Then he turns to General Zerina, "General, I appologize for my brusque manner. I am weary after our mission, weakened from our encounter with the undead, and sickened at looking down at these brutish orc fingers. I am afraid it's made irritable. I sincerely pray that you'll find it within your lovely heart to forgive me."
Tiburon Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
" I see no-one of you has thought about Flausts' situation. If she is out of favor with Alemi for forsaking her tennats of faith , then she will no longer have access to her clerical powers and is a liability in a combat situation. One that could get one of us killed. I hope that Alemi will forgive her slip-up this time, but you must look at the possable results from such actions and to its' effect upon ALL of us, not just her. I might not have baited her about switching to Domi, but we need to find out if she needs to atone for that before she goes on or if she can wait until after. " says Tiburon.
Flaust Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
"Atonement may be necessary, but it is between me and my god so, please just shut up about it and mind your own business!"
Kat Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
"Can we please finish and go somewhere and relax. We are going to kill each other in a moment if we don't."
Teko Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
Teko, looking on, sighs and wearily waits for a response from the general.
Jus Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
Quietly, Jus considers that Flaust could always become a fighter... or start her children's home. "I'm sure Flaust appreciates our concern, but she can take care of herself. And our help will always be there whenever she asks for it."
Nonam Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:09 PM
With a twinkle in his eye, "Oh come now Tiburon, isn't all that stuff just mumbo jumbo. You learned your spells and abilities through study. Your method of memorization is different from mine, but it's still just power that you produce and channel yourself."
General Zerina Sunday September 13th, 1998 3:00:10 PM
"Silence! I don't see how in blazes such a disintegrated group of individuals can be effective, but my instructions are to trust your instincts. Do you feel the planting of the plans was successful? Do we arrange our armies in anticipation that they will follow those false plans or not?" She scans the party for signs of intelligience.
Tiburon Monday September 14th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
"Flaust, don't you understand that keeping you and everyone else alive and well is my business ?", Tiburon says with a sigh," If you have turned into a non-combatant, then we need to plan for that. Do you want these others to die just because you can't cast a healing spell or a protection spell when it's needed ?"
Kat Monday September 14th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Kat stands up and shouts "SHUT UP!!!!! This is not the time. Genral yes the plans worked, they have changed their battle plans and are begining to march toward the valley."
Teko Monday September 14th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Teko says, "Yes, it does appear that they took the bait. Still, I'm puzzled. Why did the undead we fought appear as us in our unpolymorphed forms? We need to be sure about that."
Jus Monday September 14th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
"General, please forgive our behavior. We have seen sights abominable to all decency, even considering the war. No matter how we may sound -- at the moment -- we are a team." Jus then describes what occurred in as much detail as he recalls, finishing up with "My judgement is that they believed the plans. Since we saw there current battle layout and overheard the new plans, we were a liability that the undead were to remove."
General Zirena Monday September 14th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Very well then. She writes something on a scroll quickly and seals it with her personal seal. Now, take this through to General Livermore. Nikar here, a mage of fine reputation, will give you a mental picture of where you are to go. She is in constant contact with the General this evening. Nikar?"
Nikar Monday September 14th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
"Greetings, Kat. Tell Pantheon hi for me when you talk to him next. I'm sure he'll remember me. I used to be one of his witches....(soft laugh). I'm going to be using a new spell of mine called Shared Vision. It will let you see the picture I have of the general's locale in my mind, Ready?" After getting Kat's consent, she closes her eyes, puts her hands on the sides of Kat's head and breathes slowly on her. Kat receives the current location of the general as a current moving scene.
Nonam Tuesday September 15th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
Nonam waits and puts on the ring at the appropriate time.
Flaust Tuesday September 15th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Walks up to Tiberon, " I am sorry for my behavior. Everything you have ever said is exactly true. Please forgive me. How about a hug?" Flaust gets even closer to Tiberon, winks, and gives him a hug.
Teko Tuesday September 15th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Teko waits and puts on the ring when it comes to him.
Gareth Tuesday September 15th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Gareth waits for Kat to pass the ring.
Flaust Tuesday September 15th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Waits for her turn with the ring
Onrad Tuesday September 15th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Onrad wait for his turn with the ring. "You've primped long enough Kat, you're never gonna fit in that outfit anyways."
Kat Tuesday September 15th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
Kat wipes a tear from her eye and looks at Onrad, she then places the ring on her finger and imagines the place Nikar showed her. in the prosess she imagines Onrad about three feet off the ground.
DM Tuesday September 15th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
The party is teleported to the edge of a low cliff ovelooking a misty valley. Onrad lets out a huge yell as he appears in the air falling. Kat looks up grinning only to get a very surprised look on her face as Onrad lands rather hard on her knocking her down, messing up her hair and covering her in wet dirt from the slightly wet ground. Her clothes and hair are a mess. The small but bold army of New Elenna is spread out through the valley working furiously at setting traps magical and mundane. General Livermore smiles at the group and motions them over. "Welcome heroes! You have done well. The enemy will advance through this valley and our preparations should give us a decided advantage. The spies in the Orcish camp have confirmed your report and that they are to all indications following our false plans. Hopefully the Red Dragons will be able to keep the Dark Lord busy enough that he will not check in on his troups. Edenmoor has been evacuated ahead of schedule thanks to the Red Tigers and the Black Blades. Therefore your work here is ended. You may remain and watch the battle from this vantage or retire and rest. You are heroes in the highest sense of the word and your city thanks you. Here is my seal. Report to the temple of Domi and they will do their best to restore your lost life force and heal your wounds. I give you this now, because things will get very busy shortly. Again thank you and I am forever at your service." He bows and shakes each hand, then salutes.
Nonam Tuesday September 15th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
After confirming that no one dispelled the polymorph spell by looking at his companions, Nonam says, "Uhm, general, can someone change us back into humans. I don't really want to walk into the temple of Domi looking like an orc."
General Livermore Tuesday September 15th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
Uh, sure. General Livermore looks into a special ring with the shape of a golden dragon in its design and says, "Roscoe? Good. Please cast the contingency spell to polymorph these fine heroes back into their proper forms please."
Voice in the ring Tuesday September 15th, 1998 3:00:09 PM
"May you all be as ugly as you were before." And with that the orc faces melt away into your former faces.
Tiburon Wednesday September 16th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
" Wait a minuet, aren't you going to change Onrad back ?? Oh wait , that's how he looked before.. heh...heh... sorry Onrad, I couldn't resist." says Tiburon with a laugh.
Kat Wednesday September 16th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Kat looks amazing even coved in mud and messed up clothes.
Teko Wednesday September 16th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Teko breathes deeply. "I've traveled more in the last few hours than I have in all my other days. This is truly amazing. But somehow I don't think I've seen anything yet. Well... On to the temple, yes? Oh. And it's good to see everyone again! Sorry if there was any misunderstanding about my arrival."
Jus Wednesday September 16th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
When everyone starts going to the temple, Jus says, "Let's get this over with quick. I'd like to volunteer our services to the General again. I, for one, want to stop the abominations we've seen. Anyone disagree?"
Nonam Wednesday September 16th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
"Are we going to the temple in Floating City?" Nonam sneezes and he turns into an orc for a brief second. He doesn't seem to notice.
Flaust Wednesday September 16th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
"I definitely want to get this over with."
Onrad Wednesday September 16th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
Onrad waits to put on the ring and pass it along.
Gareth Wednesday September 16th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
After being in in an amazing daze for what seems 2 weeks... Gareth says "Thank you General, we will quickly go to the temple and return for the battle. I would relish the idea of cutting down large numbers of the evil creatures we've seen. By the way, the North army is MUCH larger than anticipated. We couldn't count them all."
Nonam Wednesday September 16th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
waits for the ring.
General Livermore Wednesday September 16th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
Your courage is uplifting to us all, but we have things well in hand here. You may come and watch the battle from the air with me or begin your earned R&R. I won't have such valuable forces in the common field of battle. Not unless it is needed. Later, if the Dark Lord continues his offensive against New Elenna, I or one of the Dragon Groups may call on you again. May that day never come!"
Kat Wednesday September 16th, 1998 3:00:09 PM
Kat passes the ring around and the group finds themselves in front of the Cathedral of Love.
DM Thursday September 17th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
Priests tend to your needs over the next few hours using highly prized Restoration spells to restore the lost life-force to your bodies. (This puts you at the beginning of the level you were at. Experience past that point are lost for good.) The priests do their best to cater to your every need and want. It's almost as if they are embarassed about something. Then a summons arrives.
(Summons) Thursday September 17th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Hear ye! The Overlord of The Floating City hereby requests the company of The Three for an early morning breakfast and to accompany him in watching the Battle for Edenmoor. A carriage awaits.
DM Thursday September 17th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Looking outside you see the sunshine pour in the doorway and you realize that your healing took much longer than you would have thought. Not only do you see a beautiful carriage, evidently the royal carriage of the Overlord, but a huge crowd of thousands all converging on the sides of the streets where grandstands have been erected and signs bearing a hand holding three fingers aloft are everywhere!
Gareth Thursday September 17th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
"Well guys, I guess we'll go see the battle. I sure do hate to watch and not fight but at least they'll be there if they need us. I think we did a great job. Couldn't have been much better. I also think that we should not fight among ourselves any more. We'll be much more effective without that. At least that's my opinion. Ready?" And with that strides toward the royal coach that is waiting.
Teko Thursday September 17th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
"I think I should have studied ettiquette. This isn't like a wood-elven celebration at all..."
Jus Thursday September 17th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Jus stands at the Cathedral entrance for a moment, looking at the crowd with undisguised delight. "I wish my brothers could see this!", he thinks to himself. He realizes he hasn't written Ladybug in quite a while and decides this would be a great story for her -- although she probably wouldn't believe it.
Tiburon Thursday September 17th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
Tiburon turns to Flaust and says," Is there anything I can do to help you if you need Atonement ? I hope you understand that it wasn't anything personal, it was looking out for the group that made ask you about that. We needed to know that we could count on your full powers if they were needed. "
Flaust Thursday September 17th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
No prob, Tib.
Nonam Thursday September 17th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
Nonam seizes the moment. He walks down the steps and raises his arms up above his head in a victory stance. Then he casts 'phantasmal force,' and an absolutely huge, gigantic hand holding up three fingers appears floating several feet above his head.
Gareth Thursday September 17th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
Looking back and shaking his head, he just smiles and keeps walking.
Onrad Thursday September 17th, 1998 3:00:09 PM
Onrad sees an older brother in the crowd. The brother is screaming and telling everyone that "the one over there" is his brother. Onrad remembering all the times that Radon buffeted him with the flat of a sword, stares at him as if he isn't there for a couple of seconds and unsmiling walks alongside Gareth.
DM Friday September 18th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
The party is led by carriage to the Overlord's Palace. The road leading to it's entrance winds around the outside of the Arena making several laps before arriving at the front of the palace. They are led inside where the Overlord welcomes them and gives them the "keys to the city." A holiday is proclaimed for the next day which will be called "Day of The Three." They are dubbed "Knights of Pillars" and then the formal session is ended. The overlord and a few family members and friends lead the group to a side chamber where a strange crystal ball is projecting a picture of the battle onto the wall.
DM Friday September 18th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
The army of the Dark Lord looks silly as they hit trap after trap. (Picture the Swiss Family Robinson) They struggle forward knowing that to retreat is to die. Eventually the entire army turns on their leaders and in a bloody counterattack, the orcs kill their Rakshaza Generals and rout. The picture on the wall shows the various orc bands separating and heading for hiding going back to the land that spawned them. The undead in the attack have to be dealt with and some of that fighting was vicious. However with the combining powers of some of the priests, notably Mendicants of Wardd, they are destroyed. Only 14 of The Overlord's Army are slain.
DM Friday September 18th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Now the celebration truly begins! Half the Dark Lord's armies in the Red Hills have been defeated. Only the Southern Army camped west of Madvow remains.
DM Friday September 18th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
Several hours later an announcement comes that the Dark Lord opened a large gate and removed his Southern Army from the Prime Material. The celebration spreads to the entire stack of plateaus! The High Lord Mayor proclaims a permanent holiday to be called The Day of Joy where all are to make peace with their enemies.
Overlord Friday September 18th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
"What a grand occasion! You are to be congratulated! The Three proved themselves to be heroes in the face of overwhelming odds and circumstances. Long live The Three!"
Nonam Friday September 18th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
"My lord, I think I speak for all of us when I say, I only hope that we can continue to serve your city in the future."
Gareth Friday September 18th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
Trying not to be too embarassed, Gareth says thank you, smiles, nods, or bows whenever appropriate and waits for the celebration to end. He says to the Overlord "You have been very kind. Please call on us in the future if the Overlord requires our services again."
Teko Friday September 18th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
Teko smiles and bows low.
Jus Friday September 18th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
"I am glad to hear so few of our number have paid the terrible price of death. For those that cannot be recovered, I hope their gods walk with them in their eternal rest; we should honor their names as a testimony to our victory and the overwhelming defeat of our enemy."
Overlord Friday September 18th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
"Jus, that's what the Day of Joy is for. Anyway, you should enjoy your day. I have some other heroes to congratulate. This has been a fine day for THIS city. You did well in not choosing to live in Plateau City." With that you are all dismissed to an outer chamber.

The next few days are filled with celebration. As troops begin to return home there are more parades in their honor, but the Three are the only ones to get a holiday. Soon you hear more songs in your honor. You can't help but wonder where the bards got their information because some is so close to what you actually did, but others... well let's just say none of you remember fighting a lichlord. Wherever you go you're all treated like heroes. You see little kids with dyed hair, Kat costumes, fake Gareth muscles, tiny Onrad armor, Domi robes, ugly halfling masks, fake elf ears, and taped on little tags that read 'Teko.' The celebration lasts a few days, but then it goes and life returns to normal. And life starts to get a little boring again. So what's it going to be? Enjoy the lazy life? or seek more action and adventure?
Nonam Saturday September 19th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
One morning Nonam looks up and says, "I think that we need to get out of town. It's getting pretty dull. But I don't think it's time to go looking for monsters just yet. How about a vacation. Go out to the vineyards... maybe South Harbor... you know just relax for awhile. In someplace we've never been."
Gareth Saturday September 19th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Enjoys the Giggling Ghost for a while. "I didn't become an adventurer to be a tourist. Let's find something to go do. To seek our fortune once again."
Onrad Saturday September 19th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
After having taking a few days off to go visit his parents at Castle Pryderi, and make his peace with his family and relations, he returns and says, "I for once am with Nonam. Let's choose an interesting place to visit and go there. I have a feeling, Gareth, that adventure will find us...it always does."
Nonam Saturday September 19th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
"Well it seems that we need to vote. Let's have a show of hands. Vacation or adventure? So far it's two for vacation and one for adventure."
Gareth Saturday September 19th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
"You're probably right Onrad. I'll go along with the vacation idea but I will keep my eyes open for adventure."
Kat Saturday September 19th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
"I vote for Vacation"
Teko Saturday September 19th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
"I'd prefer adventure, but a little more vacation would certainly be fun."
Flaust Saturday September 19th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
I need to spend some time at a temple where I can begin receiving guidance from an elder concerning some of my recent activities.
Onrad Saturday September 19th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
"So does that mean you'll be taking a leave of absence from us Flaust? If so, you'll certainly be missed." Onrad thinks for a minute. "So where shall we go? Before we've always had something fall in our laps....I wonder?" Onrad begins looking in his lap and around the tavern (assuming that's where we are) for something to fall or a messenger to arrive, or.....
DM Sunday September 20th, 1998 2:59:59 PM
Onrad trips over a chair in his search. As he lays on the floor, he notices that it says "Made in Tincrow."
Jus Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:00 PM
Jus chuckles at Onrad's misfortune. "It seems to have been decided, but I also vote for vacation. I'd love to see nature without the touch of mankind (if you'll excuse the expression)."
Flaust Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Yes, I am afraid I must leave for awhile. Eventually, I will see you all again.
Onrad Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:02 PM
"I've had a vision! We go to Tincrow for our vacation and Gareth, I'll almost guarantee we'll find some excitement there! Whooo! How do I know? It says so on the bottom of this chair that fate had me trip on. The last time I tripped, I met you guys. Don't discount the luck of my trip ups! They are very reliable." Onrad tries to look very serious and not laugh or grin. He doesn't quite succeed.
Nonam Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:03 PM
"Tincrow?!? That's a little backwater town. If you want to go up to the top plateau, then why not stay in one of the lake side towns... say Wellogy."
Tiburon Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:04 PM
Tiburon looks up from the History text he was reading and says ," I would like a vacation also. The Brothers seem to think my education of the Wold is lacking and seem to be burying me under these books to make up for it. I don't care where we go.... Let's just go somewhere !"
Gareth Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:05 PM
"Fine, Tincrow is fine. Maybe once we're done there we can go to another city up on top. Seems like we have the time..."
Jus Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:06 PM
Jus laughes wholeheartedly, "Only you Onrad! I hope we never have to explain what caused us to go there. ha, ha!"
Onrad Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:07 PM
"Just tell the truth: we were led there by fate. Tincrow. Sounds like a glorified scarecrow made of tin. I wonder where the town got their name? Oh, BTW, Nonam, my mother said the strangest thing when I was home. She said to tell Nonam that all was well and that she still had your 'stuff' if you ever chose to come get it. When did you ever meet my mother, Nonam?" Onrad begins absent-mindedly putting together his things for a trip trying to look like he doesn't care.
Kat Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:08 PM
Kat slips out the back and comes back in wearing very little. "Heres my swimsuit, boy am I ready for a vacation!"
Nonam Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:09 PM
In all honesty, "Onrad, I have no idea what you're talking about. To the best of my knowledge I have never met your mother. What's her name?"
Onrad Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:10 PM
"Whatever."
Nonam Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:11 PM
"Are you being clever, or is her name actually 'Whatever'? For if she does go by Whatever then I'm realitivly positive that we've never met. Anyway, the only woman that I know that I ever gave anything to was the one we rescued from Elzid's tower. So are you all agreed that you want to go to Tincrow. I caution you. I've been there, and it's not exactly the vacation capitol of the world."
Gareth Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:12 PM
"Can't be worse than the swamps. As long as they have food and drink. Don't have enough money yet for better armor so I'll be looking for more opportunities to make some."
Teko Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:13 PM
"This place called Tincrow sounds...interesting. I say let's go."
Jus Sunday September 20th, 1998 3:00:14 PM
"I wouldn't doubt if Onrad is pulling your ears, Nonam. Anyhow, we can talk about it on the way. Everyone ready?"
DM Monday September 21st, 1998 2:59:59 PM
(waiting for an appropriate place in the conversation)
Gareth Monday September 21st, 1998 3:00:00 PM
"Let's go."
Tiburon Monday September 21st, 1998 3:00:01 PM
Tburon begins to put away the books and says," It won't take long to pack, then let's get outta here."
Nonam Monday September 21st, 1998 3:00:02 PM
With some dull grey hair, "Yippee, we're going to Tincrow. What say we all start packing tonight and buy anything we need and head out in the morning."
Onrad Monday September 21st, 1998 3:00:03 PM
Reading another sign, "The management is not responsible for the safety of customers or for any ill effects from a visit to this establishment........nor is Onrad responsible for Gareth getting rich, or Nonam having a good time. Onrad is not even responsible for Onrad most of the time." He turns still trying to be serious but not quite making it.
Gareth Monday September 21st, 1998 3:00:04 PM
goes and gets ready. "See you in the morning."
