[7thsea] Emily says, "heh"

[7thsea] Emily says, "iLac"

[7thsea] SchepBartender says, "hm, looks like iMac when you type it that way."

[7thsea] SchepBartender says, "Of course, I'm just realizing this now, and people have been doing it a while, I guess."

[7thsea] andyf asks, "I like a translucent plastic channel?"

</BoingBall> No, no, it's not paper, it's a layer of sedimentary rock!

Cadiz asks, "Anything interesting happening in the room before we got here?"

Eolo says, "jota and mis had another agonizingly long duel"

Eolo says, "and then we rp'ed some"

DiegoValdez says (to Cadiz), "Charles and I duelled. Turned out to be a fairly even fight."

Cadiz asks, "Who won?"

DiegoValdez says (to Cadiz), "(of course, he used psychological warfare....)"

DiegoValdez says, "Tie."

<Bjorg> Bjorg has connected to ifMUD.

Cadiz asks, "By mutual consent?"

Bjorg arrives, looking for booty.

Bjorg says, "Yarrrgh"

DiegoValdez says, "Pretty much."

DiegoValdez says, "Arrr, Bjorg"

SchepBartender says, "Good crowd coming in. Of course, it's almost closing time for me."

[Crows-Nest] andyf says, "'Bjorg' sounds to me like a Swedish robot."

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "Shh! They don't suspect a thing yet"

Eolo says, "emily saved the day, apparently"

DiegoValdez says, "Oh, we have one last story."

[7thsea] Federico says, "I'm back"

DiegoValdez asks (of schep), "did we ever tell you about the time we were kidnapped by pirates?"

[Crows-Nest] andyf says (to Bjorg), "Watch out, they'll disassemble you with the handy included hex wrench..."

SchepBartender says, "I've heard part of the story, it seems."

CharlesAlgun says, "Arrr."

Bjorg says, "Yarrgh, pour me a strong ale, bartender. I feel I'm in for a rough adventure tonight."

DiegoValdez says (to schep), "Let's see ... yes ... I don't think you heard what happened after Jack and I got separated from the others ...."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Y'know what I'm imagining now?"

SchepBartender gets Bjorg a tall drought.

[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Fade to story?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "A group of people hanging around in some sort of metaphysical waiting room..."

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to Charles), "take it to #tmi"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "aw too slow"

SchepBartender nods.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "These characters -- not controlled by the players, the characters themselves..."

<enbob> enbob has connected to ifMUD.

enbob arrives, looking for booty.

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Heh."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Hanging around in this place, making idle chitchat, waiing for the world to begin..."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "reminds me of the one Sandman comic i ever read"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "although in that one i think it was people hanging around, chitchatting after they died"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "waiting for whatever was next"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "but still. anyway."

SockPuppet has disconnected.

SockPuppet is wadded up and stuffed in a drawer.

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Also, it suddenly occurs to me that I could warp "All Gall" to fit in the 7th Sea world ... just change General de Gaulle to General Montegue."

</andyf> .mlbrZ

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Ever read anything by Poul Anderson that menioned the 'Old Phoenix'?"

SchepBartender asks, "You had decided to attempt a rescue of your two friends, yes?"

CharlesAlgun nods, "We're hoping to."

Bjorg says, "Indeed"

Bjorg says, "Or, else."

</trikiw> You think you hate me now ... wait till you wake up!

CharlesAlgun says, "But we hardly seem ready to face two dozen pirates..."

SchepBartender says, "Though it seems that may be difficult. Quite a predicament, sounds like."

DiegoValdez says, "Well, I'd just fought off countless pirates, but they were too much for me ... still, I bought the others some time...."

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Em), "this is a good summary url for the game: http://www.50megs.com/sherman/SeventhSea/nations.htm"

[7thsea] Emily says, "cool, thanks"

Eolo says, "of course, you'd been captured and we didn't know if you were dead or alive"

Eolo says, "as had BastardJack"

Bjorg says (to Eolo), "And some people would rather assume they're dead"

DiegoValdez says, "Oh, I was alive. Jack had a rather nasty knock to the head, I think, and was hors de combat for much of it...."

[7thsea] SchepBartender asks (of Diego), "Could you not spoiler too much just yet?"

Eolo says (to Bjorg), "now, now. I merely suggested it would be more efficient for us to leave them on the island rather than risk dying with them when it was destroyed"

Eolo says, "or something."

SchepBartender says, "Can't say I blame Eolo for the idea, given the odds you faced."

Eolo says, "well, in fairness, this was after the pirates had cleared the mansion and we were alone"

Bjorg asks, "Yarrgh, ye don't gain Drama dice for running away scared though do ya?"

CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Perhaps, if you do it with flair."

Eolo laughs.

Eolo tap-dances frantically away.

Bjorg says (to charles), "True enough... come to think of it, Eolo did get a drama die for being scared"

Era_Khar'Kov asks, "Olah! Ou est le GM?"

<josh_g> My doctor says the aliens I've been speaking to are just inside my head. I assume he means they've bored into my brain somehow.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "btw, I guess the deal with the javelin is it was hidden inside the mosaic but the javelin head itself doesn't pop off"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "and the writing is on the outside of the javelin"

DiegoValdez says, "He knows it's tonight, I'm sure. He was on this morning."

CharlesAlgun says, "Well, the intended time is 7:30/8:00, so he's technically not late yet."

Era_Khar'Kov says, "Ah. Good. :-)"

Federico says, "He tends to get here in the later part of the half-hour."

[7thsea] SchepBartender asks, "also, it is a full-sized javelin, right?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "I think so, yeah"

Federico says, "Which gives me time to cook some green beans."

[7thsea] Bjorg asks (of Eolo), "wait, wasn't there some piece of paper involved?"

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Bjorg), "that's what I thought but i guess not"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "erm, ok"

Era_Khar'Kov says, "So technically, I'm early."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "http://www.bioc.rice.edu/~lpsmith/IF/7thSea/Act1Scene5.html"

Era_Khar'Kov basks in the novelty of the situation.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "the head of the harpoon popped open and there's something inside, a javelin. which has writing on the outside"

[7thsea] Emily says, "this looks seriously cool."

SchepBartender exclaims (at Era), "Well while you're here, pull up a seat and fill your stomach!"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, cool or frustrating, depending on how nitpicky you are about world consistency :)"

[7thsea] Emily says (to Eolo), "ah, well..."

Era_Khar'Kov exclaims (at Schep), "Fill me a tankard!"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Whatever's dramatic, m'dear."

SchepBartender draws another ale for the lady.

[7thsea] Cadiz asks (of Eolo), "What do you mean?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, I don't think it really works to put, like, queen elizabeth at the same time as the sun king in france"

DiegoValdez says, "This reminds me of an Avalon song ... now pardon me if I get some words wrong, as I do not speak the language...."

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Hmm."

[7thsea] Emily says, "picky, picky"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "I dunno if I'd categorize that under 'consistency', though."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "and adding magic to history ought to, you know, make it different"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "She's not Elizabeth, she's Arthur."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, she's both"

[7thsea] Cadiz says (to Eolo), "Hence, Elizabeth and Loius at the same time ;-)"

[7thsea] SchepBartender asks, "Basically, mix everything fun about european history, no?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "but the basic idea they were trying for, appealing to mythologized historical figures, is great"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Loius? Hmm."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "and makes it really easy to get into the world"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "which is why I'm totally willing to avoid nit-picking :)"

[7thsea] Cadiz nods.

DiegoValdez sings, "She was young, she was new, she was pure, she was nice / She was fair, she was sweet seventeen / He was old, he was vile and no stranger to vice / He was bad, he was base, he was mean."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "er, replace "appealing" up there with something else"

[7thsea] Federico says, "Also, Elizabeth was reigning during the bulk of the whole Sea Dogs thing."

Era_Khar'Kov asks (of Diego), "Sounds familiar . . .Title?"

[7thsea] Eolo says (to DiegoValdez), "he had a hubris / she had a virtue / a relationship between them / would never do"

[7thsea] Federico says, "Heh. Have some madeira m'dear."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "bah. s/hubris/wile/"

DiegoValdez says (to Era), ""Madeira M'dear". Now, I know what Madeira is, so that much of the song isn't lost on me."

Era_Khar'Kov asks (of Diego), "Okay, and what is a Madeira?"

DiegoValdez says (to Era), "It's a Castillian wine."

Era_Khar'Kov says (to Schep), "Madeira sounds like an interesting drink, to me."

Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "And I was right!"

SchepBartender says, "In fact, I have a few bottles in the cellar."

CharlesAlgun says, "Sounds... woody."

</Raspberry> Raspberry has disconnected from ifMUD.

<Ghogg> Because when you have to decide between accepting the Prince of Darkness as your personal savior or being ritually sacrificed, the last thing you want to be worrying about is tartar buildup.

CharlesAlgun hollers (to lurd), "Yeah, go play fooball, pretedn you're having as much fun as us..."

Ghogg materializes.

CharlesAlgun exclaims, "Arr!"

SchepBartender says, "Closing time."

Eolo says, "yay"

Era_Khar'Kov applauds the GM.

DiegoValdez smiles and sings on, "He had slyly inveigled her up to his room / To view his collection of Syrne / And he said as he hastened to put out the cat / The wine, and the candles to burn

Ghogg says, "I'm having slight technical difficulty so I may have to disconnect and reconnect at some point"

DiegoValdez says, "Oo, Ghogg. Arr. Yay."

DiegoValdez says, "Um. tech difficulties. Boo."

Ghogg says, "Anyway, 8:00 exactly on the Official Clock, so let us get started."

Ghogg says, "well, if I drop suddenly, you'll know"

<Raspberry> Raspberry has connected to ifMUD.

DiegoValdez is Elsewhere. Alive, but you don't know that.

[7thsea] katre has joined the channel.

[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "Had the manor group reconvened?"

katre arrives, looking for booty.

[Crows-Nest] katre has joined the channel.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "You're still off alone, I think."

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg exclaims, "woo!"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "The rest of the manor group is in the NW hall, AFAIK."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, he's like one room away"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Gotcha."

Ghogg says, "Anyway, Charles was just at the end of the north hall, and heard the guards outside"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "And I'm still tied up elsewhere."

Cadiz asks, "Northeast?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "He's in a totally different corridor, I thought."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "Hush :)"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "hrm, I dunno"

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "are the guards saying anything we can hear?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Also, could someone remind me where the other buildings appeared when we were outside?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "cadiz isn't there"

[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 1 7 1

[7thsea] Ghogg asks, "none of the rest of you speak crescent, right?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I don't"

[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "Is this the NE or NW hall?"

Federico says, "Sorry."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "nw hall"

[7thsea] Cadiz nods.

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "no, nobody else does, I just checked"

[7thsea] Federico asks, "Gah. Sorry, weren't we all together?"

Cadiz pokes his head out his door.

Eolo goes to get Cadiz.

CharlesAlgun, hearing the voices, crosses the hall quietly to the door across the way...

[7thsea] Ghogg asks (of Federico), "also, what were you rolling?"

[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "Are there doors at the end of all N/S hallways?"

</dfan> When everyone starts grabbing each other, the results are unpredictable!

Bjorg moves along quietly behind Charles.

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "yeah, they lead outside"

Eolo says, "I think perhaps we should all discuss further actions, given that there are more guards."

[Crows-Nest] Emily has joined the channel.

[7thsea] Federico says, "I have my dice on hotkeys. I slipped."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "well, you failed anyway :-)"

[Crows-Nest] Emily says, "heh"

</mcp> "Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4."

[Crows-Nest] Ghogg says, "greetings, Emily of the Four Seas"

[7thsea] Cadiz says (to Fed), "Good thing they weren't real--those were horrible ;-)"

[Crows-Nest] Emily says, "Greetings, GM"

CharlesAlgun nods, "Well, we have several options..."

Ghogg asks, "Right. Action, please?"

[7thsea] Federico says, "I only get rolls like that when I'm doing my girly version of combat."

[Crows-Nest] Era_Khar'Kov says, "Era waves at Emily."

CharlesAlgun says, "We could keep looping around, trying o find anything particularly useful."

Eolo asks, "we have made a fairly good survey of the mansion, have we not?"

CharlesAlgun says, "We could make a charge against the guards keeping Diego and Jack..."

<Steve> Ronald Reagan would have said, "I paid for those balloons! Those are my balloons! Stop popping my balloons!" Or something. Anything.

Era_Khar'Kov says, "Or we could blindly charge down more hallways. ;-)"

CharlesAlgun says, "Or we could try to sneak around, to reach them from another angle."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "I'm assumign we're all, including Cadiz, together here now, in a room away from the door where the guards can hear us"

CharlesAlgun says, "Let's step away from the door..."

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg asks, "how do I set myself to not see other people's connects and disconnects?"

[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "type @opt"

CharlesAlgun walks south, to the intersection with the other hall, from which point Cadiz (if he's searching for us) might be visible...

Cadiz hears noises in the E/W hallway, and goes to join the others, leaving Keestake behind in the secret-passage room.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is Kee in the passage room, or with us?"

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "thanks"

Keestake has entered from behind the curtain.

[7thsea] Federico says, "Err.. Keestake was wit us."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "with us :)"

Keestake follows

CharlesAlgun asks (of Keestake), "Do you know anything about this place that could help us rescue our friends?"

Bjorg follows along with Charles.

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "You guys? I thought he was in my room."

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Ah, vell. Either way."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "He left you, I guess, because you were boring :)"

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "ok, *now* we're all together,right?"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "I was trying to convert him ;-)"

Keestake says (to CharlesAlgun), "if he's with the gang that captured me -- looked like he -- he's probably being kept in the stables"

CharlesAlgun asks, "And where were the stables, with respect to this building?"

Eolo asks, "the stables are by the southeast corner of the building?"

Keestake says, "Southeast"

Cadiz asks (of Keestake), "Do you know where the green pirates are headquartered?"

Keestake says, "Yes."

Federico says, "I know little of this sort of manuevering."

CharlesAlgun asks, "Aha... and do any of the rooms have windows we might be able to see the stables from?"

Keestake says (to Cadiz), "That's the old barracks to the northwest"

[7thsea] Federico says, "That's my signal that I'm afk for a bit."

[7thsea] Keestake says, "righto"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Heh."

Eolo says, "mm"

Keestake says, "Well, logically speakin' probably if you went down the southwest hall and took a room on the east side, far down as you can...you'd see the stables through the window"

Eolo says, "that seems useful"

Cadiz says, "Before we discuss this to death, I propose that we appoint a 'leader' of our group. We can discuss stuff, the leader will assimilate it, and we'll agree to (generall) follow what he/she suggests."

Eolo says (to Cadiz), "I agree"

CharlesAlgun asks, "In the southwest hall, to see a building to the southeast?"

Eolo says, "our previous performance was shamefully disorganized and inefficient"

CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "Alright."

Era_Khar'Kov says, "An excellent plan, Sir."

CharlesAlgun asks, "Does anyone have any suggestions?"

CharlesAlgun looks around.

Bjorg mutters, "That's because you were all a bunch of chattering fools. Now we chatter some more to make things clearer? Bah.

CharlesAlgun says, "No suggestions? Then I'd like to volunteer, if none object."

Cadiz says (to Bjorg), "Now, now."

Eolo stares at Charles for a moment.

Cadiz asks, "Anyone else want to volunteer?"

Bjorg shrugs.

Eolo says, "I support Charles' bid."

Eolo says, "and as none object, I believe it is decided."

CharlesAlgun smiles.

CharlesAlgun says, "Now then, Keestake was saying there might be a room down this corridor..."

CharlesAlgun begins walking.

Keestake leads

Eolo follows.

CharlesAlgun says, "Which would have a window onto the stables..."

Cadiz says, "If need be, we can alternate later, but Charles is fine for now."

Trudge trudge trudge

Bjorg trudges along with the new fancy-pants leader.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "I think we should assume we all follow Charles unless we explicitly say ottherwise"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "muahaha"

CharlesAlgun goes to the last door on the appropriate side, and opens it.

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "right"

Ghogg says, "Anyway, after a bit of trudging...no noises or anything..."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "I think this is a good idea, but I still have no choice but to bug Charles about it in character."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "just for the record."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun grins.

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Heh."

Ghogg says, "This room has a large oak table...and a bunch of chairs. Looks abit like the room that had the party previously."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "I'm all for in-character bugging"

Ghogg says, "There is a window to the east, and you can see a building of sorts"

CharlesAlgun enters, taking care to avoid begin visible through the window as he approaches it discretely.

Ghogg says, "You can also see 4 guards on the southeast entrance"

Eolo asks, "is that the stable?"

Era_Khar'Kov asks (of Ghogg), "Is there anything on the walls?"

Keestake says, "That's the stable, yes."

Ghogg says (to Era), "There are worn spots that appear to have had tapestries"

Ghogg says (to Era), "but do not have anything now"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Do we see any other entrances?"

Eolo says, "I could drop one, perhaps two, and the lady has a bow."

Ghogg says, "Er, se entrance of manor, 4 guards"

Ghogg says, "You don't see anyone immediately guarding at the front of the stables although you can't be sure"

Cadiz whispers (to Charles) "Are the guards speaking to one another?"

Ghogg says, "The building bends back a bit and someone could be standing behind the bend"

CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "Nothing I can understand."

Cadiz listens.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "This window is barred, right?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "yes"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "I just realized, in all this fuss I really should've searched for a pen (quill? pencil?) and some paper (parchment?)"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "it's not a competely clear view"

Eolo raises his crossbow, checking if he could effectively fire past the bars.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "(at the guards)"

[Crows-Nest] Era_Khar'Kov says (to Ghogg), "I use 4 of my 5 XP to increase my archer attack to 2. That's really the only skill I've used."

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says (to Ghogg), "I use 4 of my 5 XP to increase my archer attack to 2. That's really the only skill I've used."

CharlesAlgun asks, "How many of us have bows?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says (to Era), "doubleEra"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "also, 'tis fine, lemme adjust"

Era_Khar'Kov says, "I have a bow."

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to Era), "Quick learner in stressful situations - excellent"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "ILAC."

CharlesAlgun says, "And Eolo, that's two..."

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov grins at Bjorg.

Eolo says, "I think it unlikely we could keep them from raising the alarm just with these"

CharlesAlgun nods, "I agree."

[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "Wait, these guards are outside?"

Eolo says, "but we could perhaps distract them"

[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "What's the weather like?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "they're outside the SE manor door. we're watching them from the window"

CharlesAlgun says, "Perhaps hose of us without could go to the inside of the door they're guarding..."

CharlesAlgun says, "And those of you with could wait here..."

Cadiz says, "If we want to mount a rescue attempt, I'm afraid we are ill-equipped to do so on our own. Should we wish to create strife, however, we might be able to use the red/green rivalry to our advantage."

CharlesAlgun says, "And when you shoot them, we open the doors and finish them off."

Ghogg says, "ack. techincal difficulties. please plan for a little bit."

Ghogg goes home.

</Ghogg> I'm your friend from the planet Alpha.

Keestake has disconnected.

Keestake exits stage left.

Eolo asks (of Cadiz), "yes, but how?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "I ask about the weather because if it's not stormy anymore, perhaps I could whip up a bit of a storm to drive them inside"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "for a nifty ambush"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun is having trouble figure out which pirates are which.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "red pirates took them"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "and hang out in the stables, SE. green pirates are in barracks, NW"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "And red pirates guard the door, and the green pirates have the barracks?"

[Crows-Nest] schep says, "Early today (that is, last week) it was clear and sunny."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "OK."

Cadiz says, "Well, Keestake has told us where the green HQ is. If the swiftest of us sneak back out the window we entered, we could taunt the green, and run back through here."

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says (to schep), "thanks"

Cadiz says, "That's the beta version of my plan, at least."

CharlesAlgun asks (of Cadiz), "Would that actually help us?"

Eolo asks, "'beta'? what language is this?"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "ILAA (an Anachronism)"

[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims (at eolo), "hah!"

CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "Thean."

Eolo says, "ah"

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Charles), "excellent"

CharlesAlgun says, "The Vaticines seem to like using it."

<Ghogg> Because when you have to decide between accepting the Prince of Darkness as your personal savior or being ritually sacrificed, the last thing you want to be worrying about is tartar buildup.

Ghogg materializes.

Ghogg exclaims, "DSL! My kingdom for DSL!"

Ghogg asks, "Ok, what's the plan?"

Cadiz says, "During the fighting, we can then enter the stables and attempt to free Diego and BJ, high-tail it back here, enter the secret passage, and bar it behind us."

Eolo says, "the services at home are of course in Thean, but I do not speak it well enough"

CharlesAlgun asks (of Cadiz), "So how would it benefit us to have the green piraets running out?"

Bjorg says, "If it would help, I could try my luck at turning the weather to our advantage ..."

Cadiz says, "The runners should probably be different from the free-ers."

Keestake has entered from behind the curtain.

Eolo says, "I think it is legitimate to try for a distraction when we enter the stables, but I do not know if it is worth the risk"

[7thsea] Ghogg says (to bjorg), "the weather is already stormy, if that is what you mean"

Cadiz asks, "I have trained somewhat as a runner. Have others?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "no rain at present"

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to ghogg), "ok, so it could get worse"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "that's what i wanted to hear :)"

Eolo says, "hrm"

Federico says, "I can hold my own in a footrace, but this..."

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "I have 'sprinting' under athlete. Just at 1, though."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "is anyone interested in the idea of driving the guards inside? if not I'll leave it"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Argh."

Eolo says, "if the pirates are really searching for something, it might be enough to tell the green that the red have found it"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun is having trouble keeping on here...

[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, he said it's already stormy."

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to eolo), "but not raining, which is what would likely get them to leave their post"

Era_Khar'Kov says, "I fail to see any advantage in having more pirates running about near where we are. If they're busy inside"

Era_Khar'Kov says, "strike last comment - enter hit in error."

[7thsea] Eolo asks (of Charles), "keeping on = connection problems, or too much text?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "The former."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Like, I keep lagging."

Cadiz says, "If we're dreaming about ideal weather conditions, I guess a thick fog would be nice..."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "ok, so hurry up and give The Plan before you get lagged again :)"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "New leader! ;-)"

Bjorg says, "Well I can turn the weather to more intense conditions ... but the weather is still an unpredictable beast."

Cadiz frowns, but says nothing.

Bjorg says, "The intensity it takes on can take different forms."

Bjorg says, "It does look rather stormy, so I dare say it would be easy to give it a push towards raining."

Cadiz asks (of Keestake), "Do you think the pirates know about the ring?"

Era_Khar'Kov sighs inwardly at the thought of getting more mud on her dress.

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "er, I thought you switched to trouseres"

Bjorg sees that Cadiz doesn't take his abilities seriously, and ceases wasting his breath on the matter.

Era_Khar'Kov says (to Charles), "Whatever plan we choose, I"m more in favor of sneaking than charging."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Ping?"

[7thsea] Alex says (to CharlesAlgun), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Ping is liza's leopard gecko. Also, a program that sends ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts. Also, pong. Also, the gecko sends only requests for more live worms, and doesn't know his ICMP from his CMP."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Oh, hush."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun hinks he's OK now.

CharlesAlgun says, "I say, let's forget the others."

CharlesAlgun says, "We have more pirates than we need already."

Bjorg says, "Indeed."

CharlesAlgun says, "If we can take out these four before they call more, such is our benefit."

CharlesAlgun says, "Eolo, Era, wait here. Keep your bows trained on the guards..."

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says (to Ghogg), "Cadiz snagged some trousers & a shirt, but in character, I never changed."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "ok. noted."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "How many minutes would I estimate it'd take us to walk to the oher door, inside?"

Cadiz asks (of Charles), "Wait--what are we doing?"

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "can we see the inside door from us standing at the window?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "it's maybe a 5 minute walk if you hurry"

[Crows-Nest] schep asks, ";oh, the other _pirates_?"

CharlesAlgun says, "The rest of us will walk around to the door."

Cadiz blinks.

[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "there are green pirates and red pirates"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "yeah, actually, lemme see"

Cadiz asks (of Charles), "Have you heard none of what I've suggested?"

[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "who fight"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Other? Is there something I missed?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "you see the back of a barrel"

CharlesAlgun asks (of Cadiz), "To go call more pirates?"

<markm> The ghoul is summoned from beyond the grave!

Cadiz says, "To not attack them directly, but get them to fight each other."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "well, if you looked straight across the H"

CharlesAlgun asks (of Cadiz), "That's a lovely idea, but who's to say they won't all fight us?"

Cadiz says, "I fear a frontal assault is doomed."

Bjorg asks, "If these pirates be as ready to kill each other as you seem to think, then what are they doing within a casual walk from each other?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Barrel?"

[Crows-Nest] schep asks, ";Yeah. Did Charles want to forget the other pirates or the other friends?"

Cadiz says (to Charles), "We run away."

[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "forget the other pirates"

CharlesAlgun asks, "Did you see more pirates than I see?"

Cadiz says, "Yes, I saw 30."

CharlesAlgun looks out the window.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "OK, I missed something."

Eolo says (to Bjorg), "before we met up with you, we did indeed see them fighting."

[Crows-Nest] markm says, "Arrr! Now I don't believe in nothin', matys!"

Keestake says (to Bjorg), "actually, I might be able to explain that one to ya."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "We can see 4 pirates out the window?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Or 30?"

Cadiz says, "Not in *view*. In proximity to us."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "we see four guards. but there are obviously more than that total"

Cadiz says, "That"

Keestake says (to Bjorg), "I talked with one who could actually understand me for abit."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "since there were thirty in the corridor"

Keestake says, "See, the pirates have these rules of behavior"

Cadiz says, "That's how many were inside last time, and they're bound to be within shouting distance, if not actually in yon stables."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "But they're not readily visible. Which means they ight have moved away."

Keestake says, "In a neutral area, they ain't supposed to wage total war."

Eolo asks, "a neutral area?"

Bjorg says (to Keestake), "Rules amongst slaving pirates - now I know this island has driven me mad."

CharlesAlgun blinks. "Pirate rules?"

Keestake says, "Well, we being the stomped upon third party."

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "I hesitate to think they've moved very far. I'd rather err on the side of caution."

Keestake says (to Charles), "Suprised me too."

Era_Khar'Kov says, "IDLAC"

CharlesAlgun sighs.

Era_Khar'Kov says, "I hesitate to think they've moved very far. I'd rather err on the side of caution."

Keestake says, "Anyway, when they cross each other's territory, they call it a tresspasin' and then it's within the rules ta fight."

<elf> A seldom-shaven curmudgeon stomps drunkenly into the grounds.

CharlesAlgun says, "Aha."

Keestake says, "I couldn't get much more out of him than that. He was drunk, see."

CharlesAlgun asks, "And they know each other, how? By the color of their clothing?"

CharlesAlgun looks around.

Era_Khar'Kov says, "Could we lure them into one-another territory, perhaps? It needn't be many."

Keestake says, "The color seems to be an improvised thing"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is any of us wearing anything colored red or blue?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "I don't want to disrupt RP too much, but I'd also rather we go along with what charles wants for the most part, since we did elect him leader."

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "s/blue/green/?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Right"

Cadiz says (to Era), "Or even dress as one ourselves."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Red or gree?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "sounds good to me"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Green? Argh."

[7thsea] Alex says (to CharlesAlgun), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Green is about 510 nm."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "nobody really gave me detailed descriptions of their clothing"

Eolo asks, "are there tapestries or other cloth in this manor that we can use?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Mine was standard sailorish garb, besides the cloak, which you never gave me a color for."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Hmm, I didn't even think of very detailed descriptions of my clothing."

[7thsea] Ghogg says (to Eolo), "you could probably whip up a toga"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "mine is brown and old."

Cadiz says, "Era has a green dress. But I fear a dress doesn't look too pirate-y."

[7thsea] Eolo exclaims, "we're greek pirates!"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "if anyone has tailor they could do a little better"

[7thsea] Federico asks, "Not Fashion?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "WHat color is the cloak, anyway?"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "We elected him leader to make the final call. Doesn't mean we can't discuss it beforehand."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "no"

[7thsea] Eolo exclaims, "I have fashion!"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "At least, that was what I wanted."

<Domokov> Domokov has connected to ifMUD.

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Cadiz), "yeah, I know."

CharlesAlgun says, "So one of you wants to dress up in a tapestry..."

CharlesAlgun says, "Run up to the pirates..."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Let's just not discuss TOO much :)"

Cadiz laughs.

CharlesAlgun says, "Yell, 'yoohoo, come and get me'..."

Eolo says, "if we were dressed in green when we mounted our assault on the stables, they may misinterpret the source of the attack"

CharlesAlgun says, "And then run off... either running toward the *other* pirate camp, to lead the there..."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "fashion could help someone else in a tailor roll, though"

CharlesAlgun asks, "Or else running back to us, leading the pirates here?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says (to Charles), "blue"

Era_Khar'Kov says, "Or I could unbutton a couple, and probably accomplish the same thing."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "not to get picky, I think fashion specifically says it's for whipping up clothes from sparse materials"

Bjorg says, "Suddenly, all the sneaking about we've stuck with in the past sounds much better than I had thought."

Federico asks, "Wouldn't it be better to run out wearing their color, inform them that the other factoin had discovered som item of treasure from a distnace and then let the skirmish ensue?"

Eolo says, "I would think they would be more likely to recognize or not recognize those wearing their own color"

CharlesAlgun sighs. "Alright. We'll try it."

Cadiz says (to Eolo), "True."

CharlesAlgun says, "Someone, go find something green..."

CharlesAlgun asks, "Does anyone know anything about clothing, in particular?"

Era_Khar'Kov says, "If there own color was in the shape of a tapestry, I think they would be suspicious."

CharlesAlgun asks, "Who here can run?"

Cadiz says, "I have a certain amount of fashion sense. And I can sprint at least short distances."

Bjorg looks like he's just remembered something, and looks around the room. "Does anyone have a spare piece of paper, and something to write with?"

CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "Excellent."

Federico says (to Cadiz), "And you can speak their language."

[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 4 dice: 6 5 7 10

[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 1 die: 10

Era_Khar'Kov says (to Bjorg), "Not I."

CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Sorry, they took my journal when we were captured."

[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 1 die: 2

Eolo says (to Bjorg), "we passed by a study in this building, as I recall, but the paper was old and unusable"

[7thsea] Eolo exclaims, "good rollin'!"

CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "Find yourself something to make a green cloak or somesuch out of..."

[7thsea] Cadiz exclaims (at Diego), "Woo!"

Bjorg says, "Blast it."

CharlesAlgun says, "Then ... and here is the dangerous part... head out the window we entered by..."

Bjorg says, "Ah well, I'll just have to improvise when the time comes."

Eolo says, "I think the window bars would prevent that"

CharlesAlgun says, "Make yourself visible to the pirates in red, guarding the exit..."

CharlesAlgun says, "Yell something insulting at them, in their language..."

[7thsea] Eolo asks (of Bjorg), "can't you sketch runes into the dirt?"

CharlesAlgun says, "And as soon as they start to chase you, *run*."

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to eolo), "sure, if we're standing around in loose dirt. :)"

CharlesAlgun says, "Try to lead them oward the barracks if you can, but make sure you get back to us."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "doesn't hurt to have something a bit more convenient though."

Cadiz asks, "Perhaps we could have a couple others, who are good at sneaking, standing in wait by the stables?"

CharlesAlgun asks, "Does anyone have any problems with that plan?"

Cadiz asks, "To break our friends out in the kafluffle?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "in general you need an object"

CharlesAlgun asks, "Does anyone think they can sneak to the stables without being seen?"

Era_Khar'Kov asks, "I'm assuming we shoot the chasers on sight?"

CharlesAlgun says (to Era), "If they look like they might go after us, yes. If they look like they're going after the barracks, I'd suggest letting them."

[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2 dice: 8 6

[7thsea] Eolo says, "you need an object for sketching permanent runes, yes? but it sounds from the desc like you don't need anything for sketching the one-shot runes but a sharp stone or something"

Bjorg shrugs. "This entire place is madness - a mad plan is most likely the best to try. I only hope the goddess is watching us in this endeavor."

Eolo says, "I can make it to the stables, perhaps"

Eolo says, "but I do not think we can make it out the window"

CharlesAlgun says, "Now, those of us who aren't going to be running about like decapitated poultry should still be waiting by the southeast door..."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "right, the invoked runes just have to be written onto something, whatever it is"

Era_Khar'Kov says, "Perhaps the priest could lead us in a prayer to the goddess? Divine intervention never hurts."

CharlesAlgun says, "To head out once the skirmish has begun."

CharlesAlgun nods (to Era), "Excellent idea."

Cadiz raises an eyebrow at 'goddess', but understands the Ussuran heritage.

[7thsea] Federico asks, "SE door? Is that where the secret exit is?"

CharlesAlgun says, "Metheneme's aid would be most welcome."

[7thsea] Eolo asks (of Federico), "wait, what secret exit?"

Federico coughs "GODDESS!"

CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "As would Theus'."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "the secret door thing is in the middle of the north/south corridor on the west side of the H"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "it has nothing to do with this :-)"

Eolo runs an absent finger on the edge of the javelin

Bjorg says (to Era), "I don't think this priest and the goddess in question are on speaking terms."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "ok, that's what I thought. it connects two rooms in the same building."

CharlesAlgun sighs.

Era_Khar'Kov says, "Or Theus, if you prefer, but Methemene is the one who is directing this island."

Federico says (to Era), "Be very glad that we are in mortal danger, my lady, otherwise you would be subject to such a theological that only Legion himself could withstand."

CharlesAlgun looks upward. "Metheneme, if you can hear me..."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Can I roll wits to see if I notice the writing on that javelin Eolo is holding? :)"

CharlesAlgun says, "Thank you for giving us this ime to escape. If you could help at all, in keeping the vile pirates from hindering us, we'd be greatly in your debt."

Era_Khar'Kov asks (of Federico), "A theological what?"

CharlesAlgun nods.

CharlesAlgun says, "And now, let us begin. Please."

[7thsea] Federico says, "A theological typo."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Hah"

Era_Khar'Kov joins Charles in prayer.

[7thsea] Eolo asks (of Ghogg), "is the window here barred or not?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Yes"

Federico begins loudly praying the daily office in Thean.

Cadiz looks everyone over appraisingly.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "ok, so we aren't going out the window then."

[7thsea] Cadiz says (to Eolo), "The window we came in by."

CharlesAlgun takes off out the door. "Cadiz, when you shout at the guards, be sure to do so loudly enough that we can hear it."

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "That one's not barred."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "it's on the other side of the building"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "er, but ok"

CharlesAlgun motions for the others', who are not Cadiz, to follow him.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "I misunderstood that."

[7thsea] Cadiz asks (of Ghogg), "Do I see anything someone's wearing that might work?"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "(as greenish clothes)"

Bjorg says, "Enough with the noise to the gods - I think they'd rather we keep silent our thoughts to them so that we can avoid having the pirates kill us."

[7thsea] Ghogg says (to Cadiz), "Bjorg has a greenish shirt"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "woo"

Cadiz asks (of Bjorg), "Can I borrow your shirt?"

CharlesAlgun continues down the corridor toward the southeast exit, whether he's being followed or not...

Era_Khar'Kov follows.

Bjorg looks at Cadiz oddly, then realizes what he has in mind.

Federico is following Charles.

Eolo loads his crossbow and continues after Charles.

Bjorg takes off his shirt and hands it to Cadiz.

CharlesAlgun trudges, however long it takes.

Cadiz trades shirts with Bjorg.

CharlesAlgun waves to Cadiz, "And meet us back at the passage afterward..."

[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "whoah, i should be following Charles correct?"

Trudge trudge trudge

[7thsea] Eolo says, "woo woo, brawny shirtless northmen"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "sorry, I'm just slightly mixed up here"

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Bjorg), "yes"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "please specify who is doing who"

Cadiz says (to Charles), "If I'm not there in five, leave without me. Theus will protect me."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Everyone but Cadiz is following me?"

Bjorg hurries after Charles after the shirt-swap.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "cadiz is going to distract them, everyone else is going to follow charles andf go out the door when they're distracted"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov chuckles at Ghogg.

CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "Godspeed."

Cadiz does a quick sweep of the tapestried rooms to find a green swath he can make into a sash.

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to Ghogg), "I know I'm topless, but we're not up to that part yet."

Federico offers a quick benediction to Cadiz.

Ghogg says (to Caidz), "you find a sash-sized piece"

Cadiz says (to Federico), "Thank you, father."

Cadiz cuts and wears it.

[Crows-Nest] katre says, "good luck, pirate-peoples"

katre has disconnected.

katre appears to have died, but will probably show up in the next season.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "When we make it to the southeast entrance, we wait there, listening carefully for the ruckus Cadiz is supposed to cause."

[7thsea] Cadiz asks (of Ghogg), "Roll fashion?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "I ain't tellin' you if it worked or not, I'm rolling"

<Limax> Hello, I'm Jack Valenti and these are my cheeks.

[7thsea] Eolo laughs.

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Ah, cool."

[7thsea] Federico says, "Heh."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "fashion is one matter where only other can tell if you succeeded :-)"

Cadiz looks for other bits of green to round out his ensemble.

Ghogg says, "Ok, assume everyone in place"

Cadiz asks (of Eolo), "Can you cover my escape?"

Bjorg fingers the handle of his new dagger, wondering if he'll have any luck in using it when the time comes.

Eolo says (to Cadiz), "of course."

Cadiz makes his way to the window we came in, and peers outward.

CharlesAlgun listens at the door.

Era_Khar'Kov readies her bow, next to Eolo.

Eolo pauses.

<DGlasser> I don't need a giant robotic mouse to explain Reaganomics to me.

Eolo asks (of Charles), "are we to aid him, or stay with you?"

Cadiz asks Keestake for a quick run-down of building placement.

CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "If he needs you, follow. But no more than you."

Eolo follows Caoif then.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "I'm a little confused. How is Cadiz talking to Eolo?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun exclaims (at Eolo), "Eeeagh!"

Eolo blinks.

</Domokov> Domokov has disconnected from ifMUD.

[7thsea] Cadiz laughs.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Caoif?"

[7thsea] Alex says (to CharlesAlgun), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Caoif is entirely fictitious. Any similiarity to any actual person named Caoif is entirely coincidental."

Eolo follows Cadiz then.

Bjorg takes the dagger and attempts to carve the rune of Empathy into the wall while waiting, not in an effort to invoke the power but simply in the hopes that the goddess will see it and bless them.

Cadiz, layout in mind, cautiously opens the window.

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Charles), "I think Cadiz's timeline slipped a bit as he made extra preparations before going out the window"

[Crows-Nest] schep says, "Eolo blinks doesn't have the same ring as inky blinks."

[Crows-Nest] Eolo asks, "yeah, well, what can I do?"

[Crows-Nest] Ghogg says, "obviously this wasn't taken into consideration enough at the character creation stage"

[Crows-Nest] Eolo asks, "how about "Eolo yodels"?"

[Crows-Nest] schep says, "hee"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "How about 'eolo blinks.'?"

[Crows-Nest] Emily says, "No."

[Crows-Nest] Era_Khar'Kov Laughs.

[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun asks, "How about 'eolo blinks.'?"

Ghogg asks, "Can we move along, please?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "everyone but cadiz and I are by the door"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "and we're by the window."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Yeah, get going Cadiz"

Seeing noone, Cadiz slips out the window, enters the depression, and slips into the woods.

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Sorry--was waiting for confirmation, but hey."

Eolo watches out the window for any observers, crossbow ready.

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "not that i'm impatient for you to run into your death"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "just trying to help"

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 3 dice: 8 4 2

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Handy how the Vodacce got himself a position where he doesn't have o leave he building..."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Even if the rest of us die, he can make it back to the passage in time to escape."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "it's all about the planning."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Are Cadiz and Ghogg whispering?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "the problem with my plan is I can't sail."

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Yup."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "yes"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "go away"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "no prying :-)"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "So we have to sit around and wait a bit, just like what we're doing in character"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "yay"

CharlesAlgun disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.

CharlesAlgun arrives, looking for booty.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Just kidding."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "heh"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "well, plan some more if you like, you've already done quite a bit of it :-)"

Cadiz makes it about halfway out, slips, gets up, abandons all pretense of stealth, and runs pell-mell for the forest.

CharlesAlgun shifts his wait from one foot to the other.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Can we see him?"

Eolo frowns to see the slip.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "No, we've no window, right?"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Heh. I've already had 3 different plans foiled...."

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 4 dice: 9 2 5 9

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "he's on the other side"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "he's on the other side of the building still, I think."

[Crows-Nest] schep says, "or his weight maybe"

[7thsea] Ghogg says (to Diego), "got close with #3, though"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Well, we still have no window, nonethless :)"

[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun says, "Hush."

[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun says, "Aye spel gud ewe no."

[Crows-Nest] schep says, "It could be a good pun."

CharlesAlgun reaches into his pocket, and does something unclear.

Bjorg puts the finishing touches on his rune carving, and tries to add the bits that he saw on the runed tapestry in the temple which were unusual for the rune.

[Crows-Nest] schep says, "@leavec alex"

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to diego), "at least you're still alive after 3 failed plans. that's not bad."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, ">INVENTORY 'You are carrying a black rat, some pieces of rope, a pile of papers, a cloak (worn), a pin (worn), and a dagger.'"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "hee hee"

Emily has disconnected.

Emily goes home.

[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, ">INVENTORY 'You are carrying a crossbow, a quarrel, a quarrel, a quarrel, a quarrel, ....'"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "(Isn't that what everyone does when you don't know what to do?)"

[Crows-Nest] Federico says, "The Vodacce are so quarrelsome."

[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "grf"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "and look at the room description again, but i don't think Ghogg would like that"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun laughs.

Federico concentrates, and disappears.

Federico arrives, looking for booty.

[7thsea] Federico says, "saying >XYZZY doesn't help."

<trikiw> I'll tax your shovel, I'll take your camel, I'll kick your ass, and there ain't no Promised Land!

CharlesAlgun turns to Bjorg, "So you're from Vestenmannavnjar? Is it nice up there?"

CharlesAlgun nods, "Ah, the strong silent type. I understand."

Bjorg says (to Charles), "Aye, finest land you could ever sail to."

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "so i'm slow :P"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "heh"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "started typing one response, changed my mind"

Federico asks (of Charles), "Explain to me, what is it that I am supposed to be doing once bedlam hits?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Ah, you'd have liked 'Snug', from the sory I told earlier..."

CharlesAlgun says (to Federico), "We will go out this door discretely, and attempt o reach the stables..."

[7thsea] Federico asks, "By Mr. Shaxpur?"

CharlesAlgun says, "If we succeed in that, we will attempt o enter the stables..."

CharlesAlgun says, "If we succeed tha, we will search for Diego and Jack."

CharlesAlgun says, "If we find them, we will attempt to return here."

CharlesAlgun says, "Then we will travel as quickly as possible to the secret passage."

CharlesAlgun says, "There, we will wait for Cadiz and Eolo."

CharlesAlgun says, "And then, if that's all of us, we go through the passage, barricade it, and try to find this treasure rove, complete with boat."

CharlesAlgun says, "We grab anything that looks useful, take the boat, and attempt to sail aware from here as quickly as possible."

Federico says, "Ah."

CharlesAlgun says, "And then, we watch he island get destroyed in a terrible storm."

Federico says, "There are a great number of 'If's in that plan."

CharlesAlgun nods, "Yes, there are."

Bjorg gives his rough carving another look, wondering if he remembered the correct curves and lines within the rune as he saw it in the temple.

Ghogg asks (of bjorg), "which one?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to ghogg), "Ah, IIRC there was an odd Empathy rune on that tapestry there"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "unfortunately I can't look it up in the transcripts to be sure, it was mostly whispers to me"

CharlesAlgun says, "I do hope Cadiz remembers to scream loudly."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "it's the same archaicness, yes"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Just to be clear, I'm not trying to invoke anything here, just passing the time in a way I hope the goddess Methenme will approve of. :)"

[7thsea] Federico exclaims, "Wonderful. Lp has his own little adventure, but he's doing all of his logging with a different character!"

[7thsea] Cadiz says (to federico), "I started a log in this window, too."

[7thsea] Federico says, "Good."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "hmm ... wonder how many exp points it takes to learn a new rune. time to look it up."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "Archaic Empathy, you mean? :-)"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun wonders how much there could possibly be to do between getting out the window, running into view, and yelling an insult loudly enough for us to hear it.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "I would guess they're learned as new skills"

CharlesAlgun says, "I do hope he hasn't run into trouble."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "well, he's not sticking to the plan"

CharlesAlgun asks, "I mean, he would yell if he did, wouldn't he?"

[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "Eh?"

CharlesAlgun listens at the door.

[7thsea] Federico says, "One would think that the Vodacce could inform us of a difficulties."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Do we still hear the guards at he door, like before?"

</Limax> Beware of road rage grandmas.

<Limax> Hello, I'm Jack Valenti and these are my cheeks.

[7thsea] Federico says, "IDLAC"

Federico says, "One would think that the Vodacce could inform us of a difficulties."

</markm> He sinks back into the ground from whence he came.

CharlesAlgun nods, "Yes, one would help."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, I can if they were before he ran into the forest"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "like if he ran the wrong direction or something"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "just to clarify, it's shrubland, not forest"

CharlesAlgun frowns. "I hope the two of them didn't take to the boat..."

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "So, 4 guards, all at one entrance."

Bjorg whispers, "Remember to keep your voices low, there were guards just outside when last we checked."

Ghogg says, "You see Cadiz sneaking on the east side of the manor"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "We?"

Ghogg says, "We"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Do we have a window?"

Ghogg says, "Yes"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "we do now :)"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Oh."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Yay :)"

CharlesAlgun watches carefully, then.

[Crows-Nest] schep says, "That's the way I go. Where I'd look like friend from a distance to most."

[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "North door, I expect?"

[7thsea] Federico asks, "Is he sneaking back?"

CharlesAlgun, keeping his voice low, "What's he doing on that side of the building anyway?"

[Crows-Nest] schep says, "s/I/I'd/"

[7thsea] Limax says, "North is always the way to go."

Bjorg whispers to Charles, "Remember he can see the situation out there better than we. He may have good reason for improvising."

CharlesAlgun asks, "Wouldn't it have been easier to go around the south side, to make hem follow him around the southwest corner?"

CharlesAlgun nods to Bjorg.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "What do we see outside the window?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "Cadiz sort of vaguely moving around"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Ok, I'm thinking it's time I take some initiative and try to give him a bit of cover"

[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "anyone got a good reason why i shouldn't try to stir up the weather a bit?"

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 4 dice: 1 5 7 2

Federico says (to Charles), "I think he is finished."

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 4 dice: 8 5 3 9

CharlesAlgun asks, "You believe we should step out to help him?"

Ghogg says, "Cadiz leaps out yells some words you can't understand"

Bjorg says (to Federico), "In the sense of completing his goal, I hope."

Ghogg says, "He then takes off"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Do we see the guards follow?"

Eolo hears some vague noise.

Cadiz waves a small ring around madly.

Eolo mutters "finally!"

Ghogg says, "You can't see"

Ghogg says, "From this angle"

Bjorg asks, "Is Cadiz holding something?"

Ghogg says, "What the guards are doing"

CharlesAlgun waits a moment, and then throws open the door!

Ghogg says, "You see the backs of two guards, and two running towards Cadiz"

Eolo turns and starts walking back towards where the others are.

Era_Khar'Kov knocks an arrow, and starts aiming.

CharlesAlgun stabs one in the back with his dagger.

Ghogg says, "roll 'em"

Bjorg bursts out after Charles.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4 dice: 10 7 6 9

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 1 die: 7

Cadiz keeps running, looping around to the north.

Ghogg says, "he's down"

Bjorg attempts to stab the other guard with his dagger.

Ghogg says, "roll"

[Crows-Nest] Era_Khar'Kov says, "roll 4"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "this'll stink ;)"

CharlesAlgun pulls out the bloodied blade, as the body bobs downward.

Ghogg says (to Cadiz), "Also, the first guard catches up to you and pounces on you"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 4 dice: 8 6 2 2

[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 2 dice: 5 10

[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 1 die: 6

[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "woo!"

Ghogg says (to Cadiz), "you both fall, rolling along"

Ghogg says, "The second is also felled"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "We have surprise, so hitting him is easy, I'd think."

CharlesAlgun points to Cadiz, "Bjorg, give him a hand. The rest of us will go after Diego and Jack."

Bjorg nods, and runs to assist Cadiz.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "All the nearby visible guards are down, right?"

Federico says (to Charles), "I shall retrieve the Vodacce."

Cadiz tries to break away from the guard, but keep his forward momentum.

CharlesAlgun hurries to the barn, rying not to be noticed.

Cadiz says, "(rolling)"

CharlesAlgun nods o Federico in passing.

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "right"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "If the action continues, we should roll initiatives!"

Eolo sees Federico walking towards him.

Federico runs to the other side of the manor as quietly as possible.

Ghogg says, "ok, I need initiative from cadiz"

Eolo asks, "is all going as expected?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to era), "true"

Ghogg says (to Eolo), "except Cadiz got pounced on"

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 3 dice: 6 6 5

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Do I need to roll anything to get to the barn unnoticed, or can we assume no one's looking this way?"

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Ghogg), "shush, wasn't talking to you :)"

Federico says, "Perhaps. Cadiz is back, he is waving a ring, and the rest are running for the barn. Come."

Eolo hurries after Federico.

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 2 dice: 8 10

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 2 dice: 4 7

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 1 die: 3

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov asks, ".Ghogg Did I shoot or miss the guard? I heard some were down, but from what?"

Federico Federico heads back to the door, and thereafter to follow Charles.

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Let me know when I get close enough to Cadiz to help, assuming he still is in need of it. :)"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "Bjorg and Charles killed the two guards, I think"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Era), "Bjorg and I stabbed the ones who were nearby."

[7thsea] Ghogg asks, "well, the first two got stabbed...you were aiming at one running away?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "I didn't think you were"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "yes."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "well, right, he's down then too"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "I shot whomever was standing."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "the plan did not involve shooting at one chasing cadiz."

Ghogg says, "Ok, the guard slugs cadiz in the face"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "but you can of course not go with that"

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to eolo), "I thought that was the plan. but, whatever"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Who is with me, running to the stable?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, not unless they were going to catch him"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "the more dead, the better. :-)"

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 3 dice: 7 1 7

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Era, Federico, and Eolo?"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "yes, to the stables!"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "7 flesh wounds"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "roll brawn"

Ghogg says, "Ok, all of you at the stable door"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "ok, I guess Federico and I have emerged and caught up"

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2. dice: 7 5

CharlesAlgun opens the door carefully, watching for anyone on the other side.

Ghogg says, "actually, there is"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "I'm singing Crescent tunes, by the way. Badly."

[7thsea] Eolo laughs.

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 5 dice: 3 9 2 7 1

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Do we take them by surprise?"

Ghogg says, "No."

[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "They didn't emerge to the yelling?"

Federico whispers, "Shouldn't someone help Francesco?"

Ghogg asks, "In fact, you are greeted by a crossbow bolt, except I don't remember your target number, what is it?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to federico), "i'm running to help him"

CharlesAlgun whispers back, "Is not Bjorg helping him?"

[7thsea] Cadiz says (to Federico), "Bjorg is on his way."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "15"

Federico Right.

Limax arrives, looking for booty.

Ghogg says, "it's cadiz's turn"

[7thsea] Federico says, "ILAC"

[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "We're on the ground?"

Limax disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "in fisticuffs, yes"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "he's on top of you"

Cadiz head-butts the guard on top of him.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "So... a crossbow bolt hit me, right?"

Cadiz exclaims, "Take that, filthy red swine!"

[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "Roll finesse?"

[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims (at cadiz), "woohoo!"

[7thsea] Ghogg asks (of Charles), "what's your TN?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "you are still ok"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Do we see anyone besides the one crossbowman?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "anyway, you see one with a crossbow, and two more just getting up with swords"

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "are we rolling for actions?"

Era_Khar'Kov says, "if any of them are shootable, I shoot them."

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "YES, we should roll for actions."

Ghogg says, "I need initiatve from stable people"

[7thsea] Federico says, "Ghogg's got two battles, let's let him direct us."

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "unless we're still in the first round . . ."

[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Even me?"

Ghogg says, "The crossbow guy reloads"

<Adam> Take comfort: Elizabeth Hurley struggles to end the awful injustices of the mattress just like the rest of you.

Ghogg says, "Also, the room is a rickety wooden one...two tables...the guards just sat up from chairs"

Ghogg says, "There's food on the table"

Ghogg says, "There's a door behind the crossbow guyt"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Also, I'm no longer singing Crescent tunes, badly or otherwise."

[7thsea] Federico asks, "From behind which we hear Crescent songs?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "wrong channel, dude"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "he's probably not even in the stable anymore."

[Crows-Nest] Limax says, "Hm. 7thsea gets confusing because I don't know who is who."

Ghogg says, "Ok, the guard socking cadiz does so again..."

[Crows-Nest] Limax says, "Oh, well."

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 6 dice: 8 7 9 2 9 9

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "he's still running"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "he won't get into the combat until next time"

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2 dice: 3 3

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "ok, dramatic wound"

Cadiz groans as he takes a blow to the head.

Ghogg says, "federico"

Ghogg says, "go"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Not Eolo?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "yeah, i have to miss a turn"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "i landed on Chance, and drew a bad card"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "d'oh"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "yes eolo"

<Xamil> Xamil has connected to ifMUD.

[7thsea] Cadiz laughs.

Eolo returns fire at the other crossbowman.

[7thsea] Ghogg exclaims, "3 groups at once is hard!"

[7thsea] Xamil has left the channel.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Yeah, that's what happened to Diego, too. 'Go directly to jail...'"

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 6 dice: 4 4 7 2 4 4

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "heh"

[7thsea] Federico says, "ugh."

Ghogg says, "The crossbow bolt smashes the wood just above the crossbowman's head"

Ghogg says, "A few stray hairs fall off"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "There, he's pinned to the wall by his hair..."

Eolo exclaims, "next time it'll be in your neck! drop your weapons!"

Ghogg says (to Eolo), "er, is that your next action? you go again"

Eolo drops his crossbow and jumps forward, swinging a fist.

Ghogg says, "Also, Cadiz goes"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, ".Eolo Nice!"

[Crows-Nest] Limax has left the channel.

Cadiz grapples, and attempts to roll over so he's on top.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "I assume that's a hit."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "wounds, please"

[7thsea] Federico says, "I will still hold my action. afk."

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3 dice: 10 7 8

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 1 die: 1

</elf> elf has disconnected from ifMUD.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "shoulda spent a die to drop him. oh well."

Cadiz fails, but attempts to roll over the other way instead using his incredible panache.

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "anyway, roleplay something appropriate"

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2 dice: 5 8

Eolo's fist connects, solidly. The man reels back for a sec but comes back strong.

Ghogg says (to Cadiz), "still pinned"

Cadiz grunts.

Ghogg says (to Cadiz), "also, initiative again, and bjorg gets to initative this time too"

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 3 dice: 6 6 7

[7thsea] Eolo says, "looks like a hit, yes"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "I can't actively defend, so."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "He misses!"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "15"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "The pirates, though."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "well, I'm trying to keep track of mine too :-)"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "also, I need to make sure we do the adding for ties right"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "enh, the pirates don't really need to go :)"

Ghogg asks, "Who are you aiming at?"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "(that's if it was a 4k2, which I think it was. Finesse + bowskill)"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "the guy swinging at Eolo."

Ghogg says, "Right. He collapses with an arrow in his chest."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "The crossbowman is swinging at Eolo, right?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "the crossbowman reloaded"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "Whoohooo!"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "there's the two pirates with swords, tho"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Oh, so this is one who was sitting down?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "the two pirates were sitting. They stood"

[7thsea] Federico says, "Back btw."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Have they had time to get up, then?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "yes"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun nods.

[7thsea] Eolo says, "one apparently got up and hit me, so"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun laughs.

Ghogg says, "phase 3"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "and I didn't go sit in his lap, so I guess he got up"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "No, he just has really long arms."

Ghogg exclaims, "Also, bjorg, go!"

[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "Woo!"

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Charles), "I bet that does him well in swordfights"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "It's a real pain for him to find red shirts with suitable sleeves."

[Crows-Nest] Federico exclaims, "Vesten-chu! GO!"

[Crows-Nest] Ghogg says, "hee"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "I direct my dagger at the back of the guy who's got Cadiz pinned"

[7thsea] Cadiz exclaims, "Runic Pastry-maker, I choose you!"

Ghogg says, "roll em"

[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 2 dice: 6 8

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "hrm"

[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "what do i need here?"

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "bonus for the guy being prone?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "He's lying on the ground, so, yeah."

[7thsea] Cadiz asks (of bj), "You don't have knife skill?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to cadiz), "nope"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Arr."

Ghogg says, "You manage to get a dagger in the back of his clothes, but it doesn't penetrate"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "indeed"

Ghogg says, "Also, 2nd pirate swings at Eolo"

[7thsea] Cadiz says "Why couldn't I have got a *competent* rescuer?"

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 5 dice: 7 3 9 5 8

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "remind me again who ordered the skilled pirates?"

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 2 dice: 7 10

Cadiz mutters (in Crescent) "Who the heck is this guy?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "I ordered a skillet omelette"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "but that's irrelevant"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Oh, whoops, sorry. I thought the form said 'stilled'."

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls panache+acting

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 4 dice: 4 4 5 7

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "16."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "that, um, wouldn't be it"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "dramatic wound"

Eolo winces as the blow to his shoulder connects.

[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "Wait, Cadiz is trying to act natural now? What the?!"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Apparently, you just got there, so you theoretically wouldn't know how he was acting before."

Ghogg says, "Bjorg's again"

[7thsea] Cadiz says (to Bj), "I'm still playing the 'green pirate' motif."

Ghogg asks, "also, phase 4, anyone?"

[7thsea] Bjorg asks (of charles), "yeah but am i confused here, or wasn't this guy beating Cadiz in the face?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Only that they were rolling on the ground. Heck, could've been making out."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "woo woo"

Ghogg says, "phase 5 is Eolo's, then"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Hot red-green action, y'know."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "punching crossbowman"

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 5 dice: 3 6 3 2 5

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "The guy on top of me is in red, and I'm in green. You're an outsider. I'm trying to keep up the pretense."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "hrm"

[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "Ok before I act, refresher on what I've seen here - Cadiz is actually fighting this pirate, right?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "drama die"

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 1 die: 6

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Ah ok"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "20"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "(with drama die)"

[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "So I have permission to try and kill the scum still?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "heh"

<SMASH> <BANG> <SPROING>

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "yeah, make another stab at it"

CharlesAlgun blinks.

[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 2 dice: 4 6

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun exclaims, "They've killed the clockwork man!"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "roleplay something appropriate :-)"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "tempted to use a drama die, but it's 2 on one so i won't"

</Xamil> Xamil has disconnected from ifMUD.

Ghogg says, "The crossbow and the pirate tumble to the ground."

Bjorg takes a swing at the pirate with his dagger, hitting nothing but air but getting the pirate's attention a bit further.

Ghogg says, "There's still a third pirate, and he yells out a word you don't understand really loud"

CharlesAlgun ulps. "This doesn't sound good."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "hmm, loud is bad"

[7thsea] Cadiz asks (of ghogg), "Even me? Or don't I hear it from outside?"

Ghogg says (to Cadiz), "no, you are too far away"

Ghogg says (to Cadiz), "and you have someone on top of you beating you up"

[7thsea] Cadiz nods.

Ghogg says (to Cadiz), "anyway, you can probably figure out what it was anyway :-)"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "So it's not so loud as to be heard far away?"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "So what you're saying is, I'm somewhat preoccupied at the moment."

Ghogg says, "although it is Cadiz's turn now."

Ghogg says, "Also phase 6"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "What about my phase five?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "I'd just like to point out how crazy it is to try and act like you're a particular type of pirate, when that's the very reason someone is beating you up in the first place. ;)"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "well, please say something then"

[7thsea] Eolo exclaims (at Bjorg), "it's a compliment to his acting skillz!"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "I'm letting you keep track of it now, remember? :-)"

Cadiz attempts to roll over again.

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2 dice: 4 4

CharlesAlgun rushes the last pirate standing.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Rolling Pug."

Cadiz fails once more.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 5 dice: 6 1 9 4 8

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "17"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 4 dice: 1 9 5 7

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "did Era drop one of the swordsmen?"

Ghogg says (to Eolo), "yes"

Cadiz tries again, this time the same way, trying to fake out the guy, since before he tried the opposite.

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2 dice: 1 4

[7thsea] Eolo says, "excellent. not in as bad shape as I thought"

Ghogg says, "Anyway, Charles cuts down the last guard"

[7thsea] Cadiz laughs.

Ghogg says, "Roleplay it if you like"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "Rather well, if I do say so myself. <grins>"

CharlesAlgun delivers a solid blow to the jaw, knocking the pirate back into his chair, which cracks threateningly.

Era_Khar'Kov applauds Charles.

Ghogg says, "Also, lemme describe the room real quick"

CharlesAlgun takes a look around the room quickly, to see if there's anything tha should be aken into accoun before the door's opened.

Ghogg says, "There's a stair off to the left"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "TIming."

Ghogg says, "And a door in the back"

Ghogg says, "And some moldy hay in the corner"

<andyf> Zrblm.

Ghogg says, "Also, the lighting is bad."

Ghogg says, "You hear shuffling noises from overhead"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Hmm, that moldy hay could be useful for ... something"

Federico says (to Era,Eolo), "perhaps you should reload. That last brigand seemed to sound an alarm."

Eolo grabs up his crossbow and reloads, frowning slightly as his shoulder twinges.

CharlesAlgun says (to Federico), "Watch the stairs."

[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 4 dice: 10 1 2 4

CharlesAlgun opens the door.

[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 1 die: 5

<Aethelthryth> Aethelthryth has connected to ifMUD.

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 4 dice: 8 7 7 10

Eolo kicks the hay before the door is opened.

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 1 die: 3

Federico watches the stairs, unsure of what he could do.

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "We're still on 6, right? I have one more action on 7."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "yeah"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "7"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "go for it"

Era_Khar'Kov says (to Eolo), "I am planning to reload when we reach 8."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Are we still doing phases, in the stable?"

Cadiz tries once more to get this guy off of him.

Ghogg says (to Charles), "ok, there's a bunch of stalls here..."

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2 dice: 1 7

[7thsea] Eolo says, "sorry, I thought we were out of phases in the stable."

Ghogg says, "Also, something that looks like it *used* to be a sliding door"

Ghogg says, "But it's been boarded over"

CharlesAlgun quickly searches the stalls.

Ghogg says, "Rather haphazardly"

Cadiz exclaims, "Arr!"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "I guess the pirate who's on Cadiz hasn't had an action during which he could decide to get ticked off at me and get up? :)"

Ghogg says, "There's a door off to the left"

Ghogg says, "Also, shuffling noises get louder"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "actually, no"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "End of stall-area description?"

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "shuffling noises from overhead?"

Federico looks up the stairs apprehensively.

Ghogg says, "Also, Cadiz is still being squashed, and Bjorg is trying to stab the pirate in the back"

CharlesAlgun, after glancing around the stalls, opens the new door.

Ghogg says, "You see Diego and a pirate on the floor. The pirate has just pounced up to his knees"

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "has done *what*?"

</trikiw> You think you hate me now ... wait till you wake up!

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "has grabbed Diego's knees, you mean?"

CharlesAlgun exclaims (at Eolo, et al), "Diego's in here!"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "if we're out of phases in the stable, I'll go try to shoot the guy on Cadiz."

SockPuppet materializes.

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to eolo), "sort of halfway getting up from the ground i think"

[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "Is Jack in the room as well?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "So the pirate is on his own knees, yes?"

Ghogg says, "You also see Bastard Jack unconscious in the corner"

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to Cadiz), "who? ;)"

<LoneCleric> Comp-emon - Gotta play them ALL!

[7thsea] Cadiz exclaims, "Timing!"

Ghogg says, "The pirate leaps up and draws his sword, snarling."

DiegoValdez exclaims (at Charles), "IT'S ABOUT BLOODY TIME!"

Ghogg says, "Alsso, you hear some yelling voices upstairs"

CharlesAlgun punches the pirate, with a right hook.

Ghogg says, "actually, you need initative roll"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "Welcome back."

Ghogg says, "please do so"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 5 5

Federico is feeling very vulnerable watching the stairs.

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "ok, pirate punches cadiz again"

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "can I roll also?"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "initiative for me too?"

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 3 dice: 3 8 9

[7thsea] Ghogg exclaims, "anyone who is close, yes!"

CharlesAlgun asks (of Diego), "How have you been keeping up, old fellow?"

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3 dice: 8 9 7

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 1 die: 1

[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 3 dice: 6 7 10

[7thsea] Eolo says, "woo, combat reflexes."

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2 dice: 1 4

[7thsea] Federico rolls 2 dice: 4 4

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "Era is going out to help Cadiz, yes?"

CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo, et *Federico*, et al), "Diego, and a pirate, are in here."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "yay casual banter during fight"

DiegoValdez asks (of Charles), "I've been wining and dining on the Montaignais best, what do you think??"

Federico I'm worried about this staircase.

Eolo says (to Charles), "so I see"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "Yes, my plan is to assist Cadiz by shooting the dirty, rotten scoundrel on top of him."

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 5 dice: 9 4 4 10 8

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 3 dice: 9 8 4

Federico says, "I'm worried about this staircase, one of you, stay here."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "9 wounds to cadiz"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "brawn"

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to era), "erm. just don't miss, i'm right there too y'know"

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2 dice: 5 8

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Federico), "I think everyone but you is in the other room"

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 5 dice: 7 4 8 3 8

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 3 dice: 3 5 6

Cadiz gets hit in the face, but manages to deflect most of the impact.

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "15 wounds to cadiz"

Federico Guys? Guys?

Federico asks, "Guys? Guys?"

[7thsea] Eolo laughs.

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, ".Bjorg I'll be *very* careful. ;-)"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "this is always the point when the monster jumps out"

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2 dice: 1 3

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun exclaims (at Federico), "We have a Diego to resuce!"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "you have a second dramatic wound"

Cadiz gets hit a second time while avoiding the first, and takes it full in the front.

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "also, you have a black eye now"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "also, next round. roll initative"

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 2 dice: 4 8

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 3 dice: 4 10 4

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Are we waiting for a round to start before we act, or should Eolo just act?"

Ghogg says, "Ok, round 1 back in the stables"

[Crows-Nest] Federico asks (of Bjorg), "How f***ing hard is it to stab someone in the back?"

Ghogg says, "Er, phase 1"

Ghogg asks, "anyone?"

Ghogg asks, "Eolo?"

Cadiz shoots the bastard on Cadiz.

Eolo fires his crossbow at the swordsman

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 6 dice: 3 10 7 3 4 1

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Did he have time to reload while I was searching around, I assume?"

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 1 die: 2

Cadiz says, "ILAW."

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "hey, i'm not used to this stabbing with tiny daggers stuff"

Ghogg asks (of Eolo), "erm, did you have a loaded crossbow?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "22"

Era_Khar'Kov shoots the bastard on Cadiz.

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "now if i was chopping off his limbs with a huge sword, everything would be fine"

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "I reloaded as we were walking into the stalls area, no?"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Eolo: Aiiee! You mean the pirate, right?"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "ok"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "in that case, damage"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "Yes--round 8 last phase."

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 2 dice: 7 4

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 4 dice: 1 4 3 9

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Diego), "enh, you swordsmen are all alike."

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "i have a regular bow, not a crossbow."

Ghogg says, "Phase 2 in the stables"

[7thsea] Eolo grins.

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "hee"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 4 dice: 8 7 6 4

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "15!"

Ghogg says, "Er, Cadiz, Bjorg, and Era"

Ghogg says, "Ok, that's right Era first"

[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun says, "We've some smaller swords you might like, but I dunno if it'd help."

Ghogg says, "And your arrow misses a little bit short..."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Does Federico do anything on his phase (4)?"

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "not likely"

Ghogg says, "The range sort of fizzled out at the end"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Or is he still busy watching the stairs?"

[Crows-Nest] andyf asks, "Do you folks kill each other off every game, or what?"

Ghogg says, "Phase 3 in the stables"

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "we try"

[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun says (to SF), "We do try."

[Crows-Nest] andyf says, "Would tend to limit continued play..."

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "heh"

[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun says, "We're just not very good at it, you see."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "ask federico that"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I was assuming he'd answer me."

[Crows-Nest] andyf says, "It seems odd to be watching via SockPuppet. Socks can't see."

Ghogg says (to Federico), "also, you hear close footfalls"

[Crows-Nest] Federico says, "I'm still ready to hold back the flood of pirates from upstairs with my faith as my shield."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Excellent."

Ghogg says, "Phase 4 in the stables"

[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "@name SockPuppet SockWithEyeballsPuppet"

[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun asks, "He has buttons, doesn't he?"

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Federico), "good man. keep up the good work"

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "button eyes"

[Crows-Nest] andyf says, "True."

Ghogg says, "Guy with sword hacks at Eolo"

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 4 dice: 1 4 7 9

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Feddie), "Holding?"

[Crows-Nest] andyf says, "With a patch over one button, to suit the theme."

[Crows-Nest] Federico says, "Yeah."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "16"

[7thsea] Ghogg asks, "want to do anything about it?"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "I reload on phase 4."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun pokes Eolo.

Ghogg asks (of Cadiz&bjorg), "what's your initiative right now?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "er, sorry"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Diego's hacking at you."

[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 2 dice: 7 2

[7thsea] Eolo says, "I'll spend two bits to active defend"

Federico grabs a chair and weilds it like a lion tamer, pointing it at the stairs.

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "haha."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "go for it"

[7thsea] Eolo rolls 5 dice: 4 7 4 8 4

[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "me at phase 2?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "19"

[7thsea] Federico says, "And I hold my other action."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "er, assuming defend is wits + footwork, keep wits"

Ghogg says, "Eolo springs deftly out of the way of the sword as it barely brushes his cheek"

Eolo grins.

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Dang, can't find where I rolled initiative."

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Guess I'll re-roll."

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 3 dice: 7 7 8

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Cadiz), "it probably had sixes."

Ghogg says (to Bjorg), "do phase 2 now"

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Heh."

CharlesAlgun tries to deliver a left fist toward the pirate's gut.

Ghogg says, "roll"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 5 dice: 10 6 5 3 9

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 1 die: 5

Ghogg says (to Federico), "Also, you see a pirate peering down at you"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 4 6

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Six for damage."

Bjorg steadies his stance after that frantic sprint, and takes another stab at the pirate.

Ghogg says (to Federico), "He has a single bloodshot eye"

[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 2 dice: 9 5

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "(And I have a second action this phase)"

[7thsea] Eolo asks, "and an eyepatch?"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "well, i was closer."

[7thsea] Federico asks (of Ghogg), "Err..what?"

Ghogg says, "Actually, the other eye is horrible gouged out and not covered up"

Ghogg says, "From the stairs"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "ok, that's grody."

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 4 dice: 10 1 3 7

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Did I hit and all?"

Ghogg says, "He's still standing"

Ghogg says, "Yes, you hit"

Ghogg says, "Phase 5"

CharlesAlgun pulls up both fists, and jabs forward with a right.

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Jab"

[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "Did bjorg hit? What does he need?"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 5 dice: 8 9 1 8 2

Ghogg says (to Bjorg), "also, you miss again"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "17"

Ghogg says, "And the pirate tries to sock cadiz again"

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 4 dice: 7 6 9 8

[7thsea] Federico says, "I'm using an action this round,"

Bjorg is still trying to swing with a dagger instead of stabbing directly. He tears the pirate's clothing again, but does no damage.

Ghogg says (to Federico), "I'm not really using initative for you because you aren't in combat"

[7thsea] Federico says, "Ah. OK."

Ghogg says (to Federico), "just do something"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Miss or hit?"

Ghogg says (to Federico), "and it'll hapen"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "hit"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 9 5

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "bjorg did not hit"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Another nine damage."

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 4 dice: 1 6 9 8

CharlesAlgun finishes the jab with his left, not far behind.

[7thsea] Cadiz says, "I think we should use initiative for mid-combat, regardless of whether a particular participant is in actual melee."

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 5 dice: 3 6 8 8 1

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "16"

Ghogg says, "The pirate goes 'arr' and collapses"

Federico puts down the chair and says, "Um, Brother...have you accepted the Prophets into your life?"

Bloodshot-eye pirate says, "Ye mocking me?"

CharlesAlgun swings wide with his second blow, but stops short of pulling something.

[Crows-Nest] schep asks, "hee -- or is that a move?"

<mcp> "LEARN ALL LIFE'S LESSONS through rebirths."

Eolo grins.

Don't you worry, my friends will be down shortly to run you over.

CharlesAlgun runs to Diego, and cuts his ropes with the dagger.

Ghogg says (to Federico), "I need resolve"

Eolo reloads his crossbow, then looks for Diego.

Ghogg says (to Federico), "+ 1 unkept"

[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 10 7 5

[7thsea] Federico rolls 1 die: 4

[7thsea] Federico says, "21"

CharlesAlgun says (to Others), "I think Federico might need your help..."

DiegoValdez says (to Charles), "You, senor, are a sight for sore eyes. And remind me to ask you about that later."

[7thsea] Federico asks, "What does that mean?"

CharlesAlgun says, "I'll cut Diego and Jack free."

Ghogg says, "Ok, back to the cadiz bjorg thing"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "it means you the man with the dice roll, as usual"

CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "if you need a spare sword, we left a few lying around..."

Ghogg says, "phase 6 there"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "(this guy here has a sword, right?)"

DiegoValdez says (to Charles), "There's this pirate's sword right here."

[7thsea] Ghogg says (to Federico), "You feel an evil power sweeping through your mind"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez exclaims, "6! Mine!"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "But you manage to resist"

CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "Do you know anything tha could be helpful to us? We're starting to break out in pirates again."

Federico exclaims, "Well then, today you shall be with me in Paradise, NOT! YOU FIEND OF LEGION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[7thsea] Bjorg says (to ghogg), "that sounded like a IDLAC"

CharlesAlgun attempts to hoist Jack to his shoulders, fireman-style.

Ghogg says, "Also, y'all hear what Federico just said"

DiegoValdez takes the pirate's sword, judging its weight and balance.

[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims (at federico), "hah!"

[Crows-Nest] Federico says, "Woo, that was fun."

[7thsea] Eolo laughs.

Ghogg says, "Also, Federico just saw another two pirates appear behind Bloodshot-eye guy"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is anyone going to help Federico right now?"

[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "I don't believe theans say "not!""

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Federico: Heh. Good one."

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 4 dice: 4 8 1 4

[7thsea] Ghogg rolls 3 dice: 1 8 1

Eolo says, "I hear Federico yelling."

[Crows-Nest] Bjorg exclaims (at eolo), "well, now I don't believe anything!"

Ghogg says (to Cadiz), "roll against 8 wounds"

DiegoValdez asks (of Charles), "Come on, let's get out of here! Where are the others??"

Eolo says, "I'll go see what's going on."

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "on the next round, I plan to run upstairs."

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2 dice: 10 8

</Aethelthryth> Aethelthryth has disconnected from ifMUD.

[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 1 die: 8

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Anyone? Eolo? Era?"

[7thsea] Alex says (to CharlesAlgun), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that ERA is Earned Run Average."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "ha"

[7thsea] Cadiz says (to Alex), "Hush, you."

[7thsea] Alex says (to Cadiz), "It's not easy being a parrot."

[7thsea] andyf says, "Hee!"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Alex), "We don't need you."

[7thsea] Alex exclaims (at CharlesAlgun), "Awwwk! No parse found!"

[7thsea] Ghogg says (to Era), "do a wits roll"

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2 dice: 2 5

[7thsea] Alex says, "Awwk! Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!"

[7thsea] Federico says (to Alex), "Roll for initiative."

[7thsea] Alex exclaims (at Federico), "Awwwk! No parse found!"

CharlesAlgun, unsteadily carrying Jack like a very large sack of flour, staggers out after Diego.

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "I'm a half-wit."

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "ok, so I guess you are going to run upstairs"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun is not heading upstairs at the oment, by the way.

DiegoValdez exclaims (at Charles), "If you see a pirate with just one eye, cut him down quick!"

Ghogg says, "Also, I'm losing track on Bjorg/Cadiz/Era, but I think it's Cadiz's turn"

DiegoValdez sprints in the direction of Federico's voice.

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov asks, "isn't Frederico upstairs? Didn't charles ask us to go help him?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "federico is downstairs"

CharlesAlgun asks (of Diego), "Why?"

[7thsea] Eolo says, "by the staircase."

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "my next turn is at phase 7 if that helps"

[7thsea] Federico says, "I'm still at the foot of the stairs."

Ghogg says, "Bjorg"

Ghogg says, "go"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Was it Feddie's or Cadiz's with one eye?"

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Era), "I'm going to help him. I thought you were helping bjorg & cadiz."

[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "Then I go help him, wherever he is. Upstairs/downstairs/in the middle/whatever."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "Federico's had one eye."

[7thsea] Eolo says, "which we don't know yet, of course"

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "another try at the pirate ..."

[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 2 dice: 3 10

[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 1 die: 2

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "woo"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Eolo), "You haven't made it out to the room yet either?"

[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "a hit?"

Ghogg says, "Also, Federico sees another 6 pirates..they starts coming down the stairs, although there isn't enough room for sword unsheathed yet"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "yes"

[7thsea] Eolo says (to Charles), "well, I'm probably there about now, yeah, but I don't think I've had a chance to look up the stairs yet"

[7thsea] Ghogg says, "roleplay something appropriat"

[7thsea] Ghogg says (to Bjorg), "er, you roleplay"

[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "If it's phase 7, I'm using it to try to reach Federico."

Ghogg says, "We aren't a a phase now, really"

Bjorg gets used to this dagger fighting business, and drives the dagger straight and true into the pirate.

Ghogg says, "Also, you can't be sure, but there's a LOT of footsteps now..."

Ghogg says, "Like it has to be at least 30 pirates"

Federico throws the green ledger book from the ship at the lead pirate. "Stay back foul fiend!"

Ghogg says, "Maybe more"

Ghogg says, "Upstairs"

CharlesAlgun, upon reaching he room with Federico, proceeds to the exit.

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "should i be rolling damage here, or is this a lackey that dies easily? :)" </
