Pyotr says (to GM), "God is angry with you, my friend"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard asks, "What's the party composition?"
Cadiz asks, "He *is* God?"
[Crows-Nest] Cadiz exclaims, "Hey, it's Whizzard!"
Pyotr says (to Cadiz), "excellent point"
Eolo says, "as usual, my timing is impeccable."
[Crows-Nest] Cadiz exclaims, "Wave!"
[Crows-Nest] Cadiz says, "(Er, this is Lucian)"
[Crows-Nest] GameMaster says, "charles, cadiz, eolo, era, Bjorg, Federico, Diego"
DiegoValdez says (to Eolo), "We were just about to lace your boots together, too."
Eolo says, "precisely"
GameMaster says, "Ok, where were we?..."
[7thsea] Maxwell asks, "Is Federico back from dinner preparations?"
GameMaster says, "I believe Charles had just unearthed a passageway"
Eolo says, "lucky for you too, since I had booby-trapped the paint can"
[7thsea] Ghogg says, "we start now"
[7thsea] Ghogg says, "anyone who is still out"
DiegoValdez is following the others down the new tunnel.
[7thsea] Federico says, "Arr. Just in time."
GameMaster says, "Well, I'm presuming Charles steps in first..."
Eolo grins at the new passageway.
GameMaster says, "As you enter you hear a <shwupp!> sound behind you in the room you just left"
DiegoValdez glances back.
hafkris has entered from behind the curtain.
hafkris says, "Greetings."
[7thsea] Cadiz says, ">heh<"
hafkris does a wave of his hand
DiegoValdez says (to Hafkris), "Ah. You keep turning up ... like a bad maraverdi...."
GameMaster says, "Ropes suddenly appear tightly binding your legs and arms..."
[7thsea] Federico says, "I was wondering when that was going to happen."
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "(everyone's favorite Henchman)"
CharlesAlgun says, "Where'd he come from, the little..."
Eolo says, "my"
Hafkris says, "So glad to see you again..."
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "Or maybe Villian, not exactly sure."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "I don't think henchmen do that"
Bjorg exclaims, "Yarrrgh!"
Cadiz says (to Hafkris), "I see I let you go too soon last time."
Hafkris says, "I seem to have found something of interest, although I may not have discovered it if it were not for you..."
Eolo says (to Hafkris), "I am glad we have met again."
Hafkris says, "You see, while your friend here <he pokes Diego> was holding me at rapierpoint, I felt myself wishing the thing I wanted most was to disappear."
DiegoValdez struggles. "Gah. Next time remind me to slit your throat when I get the chance...."
Hafkris says, "And, a bit later, that seemed to happen...I couldn't see my arms"
Hafkris says, "And this fellow over here.."
Hafkris pokes Cadiz
Hafkris says, "You had the most astonished look on your face..."
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "Woo. Suck to be them."
Hafkris says, "It was quite amusingl"
[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "yay, we're up against omnipotence"
[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "our only recourse now is to DRIVE HIM MAD"
Hafkris says, "Of course, this whole incident confused me, but I did manage to run away at least before I realized what happened."
[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "quick, someone make him REALLY horny"
CharlesAlgun exclaims, "Oh, you mean you found the magic berries? Curses!"
Hafkris says, "See, last night, in addition to winning quite enough at dice to hire some archers, I got *this* out of the pot."
Hafkris raises his hand
GameMaster says, "There's a plain looking ring on the fourth finger"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "one ring to rule them..."
DiegoValdez looks, already knowing what to expect.
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr exclaims, "the one ring!"
[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "erm, not involving the female characters ... just thinking he could distract himself with all these appearing chyx"
Eolo asks (of Hafkris), "did the man you won it from say from where he got it?"
Hafkris says, "Some pirate dug it off the sandbar"
Hafkris says, "Apparently thought it lucky but not all to valuable...at least he was willing to stick it up for gambling purposes"
Hafkris giggles
Cadiz (aside) "I like my twig one better."
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Cadiz), "hee hee"
DiegoValdez mutters, "Damn Keestake ... he should have tossed it into a volcano or something...."
Bjorg spits curses to the ocean that brought the ring back up to us.
CharlesAlgun whispers loudly, "He thinks it's the *ring* that gives him the power!"
Cadiz says (to Hafkris), "(warningly) "You know, the last thing he did before he died, Keestake warned us about that ring."
Hafkris says, "In any case, I realized the ring had caused my disappearance..."
CharlesAlgun stifles a laugh.
Hafkris says, "And so, I tried some experiments."
CharlesAlgun says, "That's a <snicker> lovely ring you have."
CharlesAlgun asks, "It's, uh, powerful, is it?"
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "so we're bound by rather normal ropes, despite the fact that they appeared magically?"
Cadiz says (to Hafkris), "He told us that if you wish too much, the ring destroys its owner and itself."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "they look normal, that doesn't mean they are"
Cadiz says (to Hafkris), "Best to wish it away now, before harm comes to you."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "got it"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I don't suppose you know that unbinding rune"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "How much can we move? Can we, say, reach our weapons?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "well, as a matter of fact"
Hafkris asks (of Cadiz), "hmm...really?"
[7thsea] Federico says (to Cadiz), "Umm.. I hope you've got some reverse psychology thing going on there."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "but of course i have to be able to draw it"
Hafkris says, "I was considering wishing for more wishes, hadn't gotten around to it yet"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I'm not sure what the use would be at this point, but it's worth thinking about"
Hafkris says, "Ah well, thanks for the warning"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "How much can we move?"
Hafkris says, "I'm sure it's limited, although I've done quite a few already"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "I had my sword drawn ... can I surreptitiously cut someone else's ropes while someone (probably Charles and/or Cadiz) is distracting Hafkris?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "not at all"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov arrives, popcorn bowl in hand.
[Crows-Nest] Sargent says, "Oh no, Hafkris has a lisp! He's wished for more fishes!"
[7thsea] Federico says (to Cadiz), "There goes my plan to get him to wish he was Theus."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "This wishing ring powered by StoryHarp(tm)"
[7thsea] Bjorg asks (of gm), "is there loose dirt on the ground by my feet?"
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Heh.  Seemed in character."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "wait, theus doesn't have itty-bitty living space"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "you can't move your feet"
dfan arrives, looking for booty.
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "rats"
[Crows-Nest] dfan has joined the channel.
DiegoValdez asks (of Hafkris), "So. What do you intend to do now?"
You hear a large <boom> as a great number of stones rattle down...
[7thsea] dfan has joined the channel.
Hafkris says, "Well, I figured I might wait for the pirates, hand them off to you, then I can make myself a little vacation..."
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "we might as well just do this in the lounge. :)"
Cadiz asks (of Hafkris), "You think the pirates will let you have the ring to yourself?"
CharlesAlgun asks, "Did you hear that?"
Cadiz exclaims (at Hafkris), "Wish it gone!  Before it destroys you!"
CharlesAlgun looks around, and looks at the ring suspciously.
Hafkris asks (of Cadiz), "Why?"
Federico exclaims (at Cadiz), "Shut up you damned fool. Our superiors at the Inquisition will hear of this treachery!"
Cadiz says (to hafkris), "Or don't, I guess.  If you're gung-ho about being destroyed."
Hafkris says, "Hmm..."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Can I try to bite his finger?"
Bjorg makes no attempt to add another manipulative voice against Hafkris, and instead concentrates on finding a weakness in Hafkris' hold on the situation.
Hafkris asks, "What was it you said about it?"
Cadiz says (to Federico), "If one soul can be saved, the angels rejoice."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Charles), "No."
Hafkris asks (of Cadiz), "what is this you heard about the ring?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Can I attempt to free someone? Bjorg, Charles or Eolo?"
[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun exclaims (at Hafkris), "Look behind you, a three-headed monkey!"
[Crows-Nest] Sargent laughs.
Federico whispers loudly to Cadiz "If we don't bring that back to Catille, the Cardinal will have our head."
Era_Khar'Kov having little experience with psychos, and less with psycho-babble, decides to keep her mouth shut.
Cadiz sighs.
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "catille is of course also know as el city de la gato"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "You are held tight by ropes created by a wishing ring. You can't move."
Hafkris says (to Cadiz), "Please, I'm curious. Otherwise I might turn you into a llama."
Cadiz says, "Look, I've already told you what I know."
Hafkris giggles
Cadiz says, "And I've talked to some llamas, and they don't have that bad a life."
Hafkris says, "Hm. Perhaps a toad."
[7thsea] Bjorg wonders if we could get him to wish himself godhood, and it would somehow backfire and make his head esplode.
Hafkris says, "No...something more interesting..."
Eolo says, "a toad is so traditional, though."
Hafkris says, "Yes, but it needs to be something exotic."
Hafkris says (to Charles), "Any suggestions? You seem knowledgable."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Can I make up an ancient-sounding (but actually my own invention, tailored to the current situation) ballad prophesying Doom and Destruction on He Who Wears The Ring...?"
Federico says (to Cadiz), "Don't tell him, brother, it will be on your head if you do."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "You can talk freely however you want"
Cadiz asks (of Federico), "What, about the cat?"
Cadiz says, "Erk."
CharlesAlgun says (to Hafkris), "That ring? It looks worthless, to me. I know a litle of magics, and it's more a matter of faith than tool."
Hafkris says, "I see. Perhaps I shall turn *you* into a llama, and we shall see what of it is faith."
Hafkris says, "But really, there must be something..."
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr asks, "isn't the llama native to south america?"
CharlesAlgun says (to Hafkris), "I'm not saying it won't work."
Hafkris says, "Something grandiose and disgusting, which would be so appropriate."
Eolo asks (of Hafkris), "did you ever think to wonder why the last owner of the ring gave it up?"
Bjorg says, "A really impressive trick would be turning the ring into a llama."
CharlesAlgun says, "Just that the power probably doesn't come from the *ring* itself."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "in theah llamas fly east for the winter"
[7thsea] Federico asks (of Cadiz), "You've got some forms you can change into, right?"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "ahh, right"
Hafkris says (to Eolo), "He didn't know, of course...oh, by the way..."
CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Oh, come now. I don' think Hafkris could be that powerful."
Hafkris picks up the crossbow off the floor
Hafkris smashes it against the wall and stomps on it a few times
Eolo says (to Hafkris), "idiot. the last one that did know."
Eolo says, "and that was a waste of a good crossbow."
Hafkris says, "My crossbow, but I don't really need it anymore, and I'm sure not letting YOU need it."
Eolo says, "pity, really."
Bjorg says, "Now if he could turn the ring into a llama, and the llama into a crossbow, THAT would be impressive."
Eolo says, "but poetic justice has always been a waste of time anyway."
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "I thought he wanted them to kill a few pirates presently."
CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "I bet he couldn't even turn the ring into a crossbow."
Hafkris says, "Hm, maybe there is poetic justice..."
CharlesAlgun says (to Hafkris), "The Vesten and I are having a little bit of a fight here."
Hafkris points at Eolo...
Hafkris says, "I'll turn you into a crossbow."
Bjorg asks, "A talking crossbow?"
Hafkris says, "Hm...sure."
CharlesAlgun says (to Hafkris), "He thinks that, having destroyed your crossbow, you're powerless."
Eolo says, "I can't stop you, of course."
Bjorg says, "No, wait, a flying crossbow, armed with deadly poison-tipped ammunition."
CharlesAlgun says (to Hafkris), "I think you could probably turn the ring into a crossbow if you're dared, but you're most likely too frightened to."
Federico mutters "Pathetic fool."
Hafkris says (to Bjorg), "How clever..."
Hafkris says, "Very well, then..."
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 4k2: 2 9 1 9 | 18
Eolo says, "but it'll be a pity that if you turn us all into stones and never get around to asking what happened to the last owner."
Eolo says, "a pity I won't get to see you die, I mean."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "that's good"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "I'm just a) stalling for time, or b) being a goof.  you decide."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "roleplay it"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Era), "er, go for it"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "yay era"
Hafkris waves his arm...
Hafkris says, "Probably not necessary, but it feels good, you see."
Bjorg says, "True enough ... a flying crossbow never did much to help a dead man."
Era_Khar'Kov shifts to a goshawk, and flies in hafkris' face, clawing his eyes.
DiegoValdez exclaims, "!!!"
[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "wooo!"
Era_Khar'Kov screeches to wake the dead.
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "yay"
GameMaster says, "At the same time, there's a burst of green lightning from Hafkris's fingers..."
DiegoValdez says, "santa maria maris stella will the sorceries never end...."
GameMaster says, "And a very low, disturbing, moaning sound..."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "you know, if i could just DRAW SOMETHING, i could've made an impressive show too ... ;)"
Era_Khar'Kov grabs for the ring . . .
CharlesAlgun smiles at the lady.
[7thsea] Eolo exclaims, "that was no lady, that was my bird of prey!"
Hafkris screams
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "In this case, our bird of Pray-for-help."
GameMaster says, "A cloud of grey dust falls over him..."
[Crows-Nest] Federico exclaims, "A green flash! That's not Hafkris, It's Hal Jordan!"
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "can we move at ALL?  like, lurch forward at Hafkris or something?"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo asks, "green flesh? is that the hulk?"
GameMaster says, "The goshawk still snapping at his ring...."
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov asks, "do I need to roll for my grab for the ring?"
GameMaster says, "There is an acrid <poof>"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "So now we find out for certain: are her clothes still there?"
Hafkris disappears
Hafkris steps behind the curtain.
[7thsea] Eolo laughs.
CharlesAlgun coughs, trying to peer through the smoke.
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "rrrowr"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Era), "sorry, didn't make it in time"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "hey!  down, boys!"
Eolo says (to Hafkris), "something of an unsatisfactory exit, I think."
GameMaster says, "The ropes dissolve..."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Era), "Well, a goshawk certainly doesn't need them."
GameMaster says, "Half of you fall forward on your face."
CharlesAlgun wrests his arms free, glad to be able to move them again.
GameMaster says, "Also, there's a goshawk flapping in front of you"
Bjorg lands with a thud.  "Ow!"
[7thsea] GameMaster says "And THAT's the half in group 1!"
GameMaster says, "Looking a little frazzled"
DiegoValdez jumps to his feet, sword in hand, and checks to see that everyone is alright.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Also, what happened to Era's ropes?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "They are gone now too"
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell exclaims (at Eolo), "hee!"
Bjorg exclaims, "Wonderful work, Era!"
CharlesAlgun stands himself, and offers the goshawk an arm to perch on, if needed.
DiegoValdez says, "Um. Nice bird ..."
Eolo stands up and rubs his wrists, then goes to look if there's any signs of hafkris left.
Bjorg says, "Your sense of timing at revealing your powers was marvellous."
Era_Khar'Kov flaps to Charles' arm.
GameMaster says, "There's two little black holes in the ground."
CharlesAlgun says (to Era), "Excellent work. Quite impressive."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "ow, claws."
Cadiz murmers, to himself, "Thank you, Matushka."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says (to Eolo), "Um, Resolve 4 there says he don't care."
Bjorg asks (of Diego), "Bird?  Is that any way to talk to a lady?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "[This joke excised by standards and practices.]"
[7thsea] Eolo laughs.
Era_Khar'Kov bows to the group, as best she can as a bird,'
Federico mutters something about Legion.
CharlesAlgun looks down at the holes in the ground.
[7thsea] Eolo asks (of GameMaster), "I assume there's nothing in the holes?"
Some more stones rattle down from the entranceway
DiegoValdez says (to Bjorg), "You're assuming that she ... I mean ...."
GameMaster says, "The holes are just tiny little depressions"
DiegoValdez asks (of Cadiz), "What?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Are these feet-like holes?"
Cadiz exclaims, "We gotta get out of here before the pirates do.  Onward!"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "and I further assume the crossbow isn't repairable?"
Cadiz says (to Diego), "Nothing."
DiegoValdez says (to Cadiz), "Right ... onward, then."
GameMaster says, "Also, Era's clothes are on the floor"
Bjorg exclaims (at Cadiz), "True, sir, let's be on our way forward!"
Cadiz scoops them up.
DiegoValdez scoops up the clothes
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun smirks.
[7thsea] Cadiz says (to Diego), "HA ha."
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "fighting over her sock, eh?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "hee"
GameMaster says, "Oh, yes..."
Cadiz says (to Diego), "You can grab the underthings."
[7thsea] Pyotr says (to Eolo), "YM 'smock'"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Gos-sock?"
GameMaster gives drama die to Era_Khar'Kov.
[7thsea] Eolo says, "hee hee"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "um, should we turn our backs while the lady defeathers herself? :)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "So Era's here with me, and you're all taking her clothes elsewhere?"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Charles), "it's the old, old story"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "'scuse me?  that's enough about my clothes."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Maybe she wants to stay a bird for now."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "girl meets boy, girl turns into hawk, girl loses clothes, ..."
GameMaster says, "The passage still beckons."
DiegoValdez picks up Era's knife, then.
DiegoValdez says, "Let's move on."
Eolo follows Diego and Cadiz.
[Crows-Nest] Sargent says, "Good lord. I had no idea this would turn into a new version of Ladyhawke."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "Not that I'm really bothered, though. Fine with me if you folks split off to the other sore wih her clothes."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "yay"
Federico hurries onward.
CharlesAlgun looks around for anything Hafkris or Era may have dropped, before following the others.
GameMaster asks (of Era), "are you flapping along, or perched?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks (of Charles), "Aren't we all together, though?"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "i'd like my clothes to stay near me, please."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "s/sore/story/"
GameMaster says (to Charles), "there doesn't seem to be anything else"
Bjorg follows along as well, naturally.
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "if there's enough room, I fly."
GameMaster says, "There is"
GameMaster says, "It's a long corridor...you've gotten about 100 feet and it still keeps going"
Era_Khar'Kov flies ahead of the party.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Mmm, Energizer corridor."
GameMaster says, "There's still stone falling sounds but you can barely hear them in the distance"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "is the corridor lit?"
GameMaster says, "It's rough-hewn and very carefully carved out"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "well if it's just uninterrupted corridor, we hurry on through but with our eyes peeled for traps I presume."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "no, everyone still has torches"
CharlesAlgun looks at the carved walls as they pass.
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Well, heck, we should have burned through the ropes ;-)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "or at least new torches were made before entering in a part I skipped :-)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I'm guessing we dropped our torches, and picked them up when the ropes fell off."
GameMaster says (to Charles), "Very plain, but obviously the product of alot of effort"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "yeah"
Trudge, trudge.
GameMaster says, "300 feet..."
CharlesAlgun says, "It must have taken a very long time to carve this tunnel."
[7thsea] Federico says, "Trudge, find fire, trudge."
GameMaster says, "400 feet...."
Eolo says, "unless it was wished into existence, I suppose."
DiegoValdez says (to Charles), "Never mind that...."
Bjorg says (to Charles), "Or perhaps just one quick wish."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Federico), "When do we discover 'Spear'?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to eolo), "damn"
GameMaster says, "(estimates, of course)"
Era_Khar'Kov says (to gamemaster), "I disbelieve the tunnel"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Later on this floor."
GameMaster says, "There's a bend that turns into a chamber."
[7thsea] Federico exclaims, "More magic!"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Oooh, metamorphosing bends..."
GameMaster says, "It's enourmous, with a particularly smooth and partially rough-hewn floor, and rough-hewn walls, not less than 90 by 80 feet, plus several chambers in a niche to the esat"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Timing."
[7thsea] Cadiz exclaims, "yay!"
GameMaster says, "east"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "heh"
Eolo looks to see if the tunnel continues out.
DiegoValdez says, "Huh. I wonder if this is the burial chamber Keestake spoke of."
GameMaster says, "The tunnel ends at this chamber..."
GameMaster says, "One moment, more to describe."
Federico says, "The bodies are surely to the East. And their goods, most likely."
GameMaster says, "The south wall seems particularly smooth, also, the previously mentioned niche has 3 parts, and there's a bricked-out place to the southeast"
GameMaster says, "You can call the three parts A, B, and C if you like"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Something like..."
GameMaster says, "They all have upraised slabs of stone"

[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "This?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yes"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "no, that's a really big 'D'"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "hee"
CharlesAlgun walks to the first niche, and examines it.
[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "What does 'bricked out' mean?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "buff"
Federico searches the center niche.
[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, ok, not really"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "First = North"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "it looks like the other niches, but it's bricked out..."
Eolo examines the south wall.
GameMaster says (to Federico), "one moment, long description"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "blocked off by bricks i'd guess"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says (to Cadiz), "doorway, built over with bricks."
GameMaster says, "The middle part (and also the bottom one which you can see from where you are standing) have bodies on the slabs"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "So, four kinda matching doorframes total?"
GameMaster says, "The center one has a man bedecked in rich blue garments (not tattered) and he has antique armor on"
[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "bodies!"
GameMaster says, "He also has some sort of weapon next to him that looks antique, it's a ball with spikes on the end"
[Crows-Nest] dfan has left the channel.
[7thsea] dfan has left the channel.
dfan heats up a skillet of plastic soldiers, pours a milkshake over his head, and calls it a night.
GameMaster says, "There's a carving on front."
[7thsea] Bjorg asks (of gm), "on the front of the weapon??"
GameMaster says, "The slab in the other chamber has a woman, 40 years old"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "on the slab"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "sorry"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "got it"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Other = north?"
GameMaster says, "She looks palid, but not decayed...she's wearing a green robe with a brown stain in the center"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "northernmost is empty"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "southermost has the woman"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "OK."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "um, jokes about brown stain too easy"
GameMaster says, "Her hair is blonde and shining, and her eyes are open and still as they contemplate the ceiling."
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Can I understand the carving on the slab?"
CharlesAlgun carefully examines the empty niche first.
GameMaster says, "Once you get close to the carving..."
Cadiz says, "Wait--the ring was just destroyed, which negated the last wish..."
DiegoValdez glances at all the niches, and frowns.
Cadiz asks, "What if the preservation wish was just turned off, too?"
Federico says, "Here lie the King and Queen."
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "Oo, good thinking Cadiz..."
CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "I wouldn't be surprised."
GameMaster says (to Federico), "Viledel / Sea King / Tamed the Islands / Laid Low by Pirates"
CharlesAlgun says, "But I really don't feel like waiting around to see if they begin to smell."
Bjorg says (to Cadiz), "Well we won't be staying here long enough to find out how they smell, if that's what you're worried about."
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "damn you"
DiegoValdez asks, "Didn't Keestake say there were THREE bodies?"
Federico reads the slab out loud.
GameMaster says (to Federico), "It's roughly carved"
Cadiz goes to the woman and feels for a pulse.
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "that's two jokes i'm too slow on"
GameMaster says (to Cadiz), "one moment"
GameMaster says, "The inscription on the other one:"
Federico says, "I think this is Keestake's work."
GameMaster says, "Queen Liala / Laid Low by Pirates / Rests Beside the Sea King"
CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "Yes, And there is a bricked up door to the south."
Cadiz says, "If they only had the appearance of death at the end..."
GameMaster says (to Cadiz), "As you touch the woman..."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Great. Zombies."
GameMaster says, "Both the king and the queen suddenly sit up"
[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "it's a zombie! we're dead!"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez exclaims, "Aiiieeee!!"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Three, dude."
Era_Khar'Kov flies to the other side of the room.
CharlesAlgun blinks, and catches himself.
DiegoValdez exclaims, "!!"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "He said 3"
[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "we're dead THREE times!"
CharlesAlgun exclaims (at Viledel), "M'lord!"
GameMaster says (to Charles), "Viledel looks at you curiously..."
Bjorg blinks.  Then he backs the heck up.
GameMaster asks, "Everyone is backing up?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to GM), "I meant three jokes he was slow on."
Cadiz says (to woman), "Please, we're trapped here.  We mean you no harm."
CharlesAlgun doesn't actually back up, but instead bows.
Federico exclaims (at Bjorg), "He speaks your language. Offer him our apologies!"
Eolo looks up from examining the south wall.
DiegoValdez instinctively moves to stand between the others and potential danger.
Bjorg realizes the two don't look like undead monsters come from the underworld, and holds his resolve.
GameMaster says, "Viledel raises his spiked weapon..."
Federico smiles pleasantly as he did in court.
GameMaster asks, "Who is standing where?"
Bjorg says (to Viledel), "(in the Vesten tongue) Hold, good sir, we mean you no harm."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I guess I'm in front."
DiegoValdez says, "...buenas noches...."
Cadiz was by the woman.
[7thsea] Federico says, "And I'm behind Charles, I think."
Era_Khar'Kov says, "Era is on the other side of the room."
CharlesAlgun says (in Vendel), "We are here in peace."
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 2k5: 5 6 | 11
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "vendel, vestenmannavnjar, whatever"
GameMaster says, "eck"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 5k2: 5 9 5 7 9 | 18
GameMaster says, "That's what I meant"
DiegoValdez is moving forward... probably not in front of the people examining the bodies, but between the bodies and everyone else.
GameMaster says, "Vildel swings his spiked weapon down on Charles"
Federico says (to CA), "Not Vendel, you fool."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "ok, maybe they are undead monsters from the underworld"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, there goes that brilliant plan."
CharlesAlgun exclaims (at Federico), "I'm sorry, but I don't speak Vesten!"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Aren't Vesten and Vendel the same language?"
GameMaster says (to Charles), "I believe that goes through active defense"
GameMaster says (to Charles), "er, passive"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "this guy is from WAY before the vesten/vendel problems"
GameMaster says (to Charles), "although it was a slow swing so you may active parry"
Era_Khar'Kov shrieks, and makes a strafing run over the "dead" man.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of GM), "Do I get an active defense?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "at least i think so.  hmm, my timeline is sketchy"
[7thsea] Maxwell says, "No, but I don't think Vesten is on the language list even."
GameMaster says, "Also, I need initiative from everyone now"
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3 dice: 6 1 4
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Er, Wits + Defense, right?"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2 dice: 4 7
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 1 die: 6
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 2 dice: 2 9
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Charles), "yes"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 3 dice: 1 7 7
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 5k3: 9 4 2 3 10+4 | 27
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 1 die: 1
[7thsea] Federico rolls 2 dice: 1 2
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 3 dice: 3 7 8
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Oo wait, do I still get the +1 for Aldana?"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "1 & 4."
CharlesAlgun ducks aside from the odd spiky thing he nearly noticed too late.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 10 1
[7thsea] Eolo says, "1 4 6"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Diego), "yes, we decided that"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 1 die: 4
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "1 4 7, then."
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "hey is the new 'roll 2k1' type command in place?"
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Yup."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "and, does everyone know about it? :)"
[7thsea] Maxwell says, "Yes, but it's not good for initiative."
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "thought they did."
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 2 dice: 8 1
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 3 dice: 9 3 1
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to maxwell), "yeah i was just thinking it would've done the 'splosion for Charles there"
GameMaster says, "Diego moves first"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "It did."
GameMaster says, "phase 1"
DiegoValdez dashes to Charles' side, sword at the ready.
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "ok forget it, i was confused there :)"
DiegoValdez says, "Senor Viledel, we merely wish to leave this place...."
GameMaster says, "The queen leaps at Diego"
[7thsea] Federico says (to DV), "You can move and attack at the same time."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Arr. I'll have to remember that."
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 3 dice: 7 7 8
[7thsea] Bjorg asks (of GM), "do the king and queen have a look of fear on their face, or just crazy undead anger?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "15"
CharlesAlgun says (to Vildel, in Vendel), "There was no reason to attack us. We came in peace. If you are the King, you have lost your honor."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "They don't have any look at all"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "that's undead enough for me"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "kill 'em all"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "With my passive defence, TN=20."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun idles for a quick moment.
[7thsea] Eolo says, "nice"
GameMaster says, "Diego fends off the Queen's advance and pushes her back again"
GameMaster says, "Eolo"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "The queen's advancing on Diego?  Go, Diego!"
DiegoValdez says, "Please, senor ... don't be a royal pain."
[Crows-Nest] lurd asks, "So, did the GM make the story up, or is it from a book?"
Eolo unships his javelin and jabs it at the king.
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "still phase 1?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "yeah"
GameMaster says, "One moment"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "ok"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Hm. Wonder if the king will recognize it."
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "I think he said this one was adapted from some other game, and the next he made up."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Back."
GameMaster says, "It'll be default finesse, you don't have anything that applies"
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3 dice: 6 8 5
[7thsea] Eolo says, "er, 19."
GameMaster says, "The javelin leaps from Eolo's hand and bangs against the king's armor..."
GameMaster says, "There's a giant spark from the tip of the javelin"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "no impact damage, but you get...lesse"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Hmm, Power Weapon."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun exclaims, "Also, Power Pill. Eat him, inky!"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov asks, "dragon armor?"
[Crows-Nest] lurd says, "hmm, the verbal wrangling with bad dudes is entertaining, but watching people roll dice is decidedly less so - have fun folks"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "This was on someone wearing armor, as well, remember"
lurd disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "it's 5k2 damage"
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 5k2: 6 9 4 8 8 | 17
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Era), "'antique armor'"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Era), "you'll have to do a history roll if you want more specific"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov asks, "don't have history - how would i roll for it?"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 4k4: 7 9 9 9 | 34
[7thsea] Federico rolls 5k2: 1 5 6 1 6 | 12
CharlesAlgun says, "I do wish the dead who are buried with weapons would rest in peace. It's really not very polite to start using them again."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "gah."
GameMaster says, "The king does a yelp as electricity sparks over his armor"
Eolo nods.
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "slick"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Err That should be 17 for a history roll."
GameMaster says, "You smell something singed"
[7thsea] Eolo says, ""slick" in the sense of "here he comes to kick my ass""
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "exactly"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "could be worse.  ;-)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Federico), "It's definitely not dragon armor. Something that was typical 500 years ago but you can't identify precisely"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Charles, go"
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to GM), "are we seeing any expressions on his face yet?  i'm still looking for signs of humanity here before I kick his ass :)"
[7thsea] Federico says, "I have no idea how this will help me when my action comes around."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "he's absolutely expressionless"
CharlesAlgun slashes at the king with his dagger.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4k2: 9 5 5 7 | 16
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "But he did yelp."
[7thsea] Eolo asks (of Charles), "is this that magic dagger?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "No, Bjorg has that."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Bjorg has the magic dagger"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "an expressionless yelp gives me the go ahead to KICK HIS ASS"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Bjorg), "hee hee"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Bjorg), "Pretty much anything is considered an invitation to kick someone's ass over in Kirk, isn't it?"
GameMaster says, "Charles plunges the dagger into the upper body of the suit...but it doesn't penetrate far enough in to touch the skin...there's a small tear in the armor, though"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "Go, Bjorg!  Buffy-style!  (the queen of ass-kicking)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "No damage roll, then?"
[7thsea] Bjorg laughs too much to answer.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "didn't make the TN"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun nods.
[7thsea] Federico says, "Bjorg: Ass-kickin' Queen."
GameMaster says, "The king swings again at Charles"
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Give that boy some peanuts."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "if anyone has some means of busting through either the brick or the south wall, I think we'd be better off running away"
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to federico), "that's it, now you're next"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 6k2: 5 3 10+6 5 7 3 | 23
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov asks, "Federico = Freddy Mercury?"
GameMaster says, "Ack"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 5k2: 2 5 8 10+10+10+5 8 | 43
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Well, Bjorg could try to run into it."
GameMaster says, "Oh, geeze"
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to eolo), "give me a chance to hit with this dagger first.  i think we'll all be happily surprised."
GameMaster says (to Charles), "you can take the first one...I made a typo"
GameMaster says, "He swung down on you with a 23"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to GM), "Thanks."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 3 3
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is that one or two?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "No, wait, it's one."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "It connects, roleplay something appropriate"
CharlesAlgun falls back several steps from the blow.
CharlesAlgun says, "Arrrgh. Pu away your ancient clubs, and go back to the afterworld."
[7thsea] GameMaster exclaims, "Era!"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "wow, everyone is going in phase one except for me :)"
Era_Khar'Kov dives at the "dead" man, claws fisted to strike.
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2k2: 6 10+2 | 18
GameMaster says, "Era flies over and bangs off the king's helmet...it clatters to the floor"
GameMaster says, "You see a mane of white hair"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "We're knocking him apart piece by piece, huh?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Federico"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "hrm"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun waits to hear, 'Era flies over and bangs off the king's head... it clatters to the floor.'
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "next round :-)"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Um. Does Charles have a flesh or dramatic wound?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Dramatic, AFAIK."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you can't do surgery in the middle of a battle if that's what you mean :-)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to GM), "He could have done first aid though, I presume."
[7thsea] Federico says, "I know, but I could do 1st aid if it were a flesh wound."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right, not flesh"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Just a warning to everyone: avoid letting him hit you, since he is carrying a big, heavy spiky thing which kinda hurts."
Federico lets out a tiny scream like a tiny girl and darts behind the fighters.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "BTW, is it just a spiked mace, or did I misunderstand the description?"
[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "yay!"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez exclaims, "Hee!"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Federico), "Is that a held action? :)"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "'just' a spiked mace"
GameMaster says, "phase 2"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "I'll call it held"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "as opposed to a nuclear weapon i suppose"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Federico again"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "As opposed to, say, a spiked flail."
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "true"
[7thsea] Federico shoots lasers out of his eyes!
Eolo asks, "I don't suppose any of you are actually skilled with these javelins?"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Er.. I mean..."
CharlesAlgun looks at Eolo. "Er."
[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "Would that count as 'heavy weapon'?"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "polearm?"
CharlesAlgun asks, "Is that what you call that thing, then?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Hm ... when we picked up Era's stuff ... basically, I ended up carrying her knife and her, er, delicate garments, right?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "polearm most likely"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "it could count as a polearm"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Diego), "I'm sure you carried them delicately"
Federico stands motionless ready to hide from pointy things, shoudl they fly anywher near him.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "if you want to actually throw it it's still going to be harder, but you can use some of your skill"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov asks, "I can see using the knife as a weapon, but delicate underthings?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "ok, held action again"
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to diego), "I'm pretty sure throwing panties at the zombie isn't going to slow him down"
GameMaster says, "phase 3"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "wait"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "i'm phase 2"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "someone grabbed era's knife"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "Diego."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Cadiz), "go"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "But I think he already has a sword."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "oh"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of GM), "What about Bjorg?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Timing."
[7thsea] Bjorg looks at his initiative roll again.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "ack"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "delicate underthings could be weapons, I suppose, but for a different type of battle.  ;-) ;--)"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "This is 1668. They're not panties ... they're large, cumbersome petticoats, pantelets, a corset and a chemise."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "do please say something when it is your phase"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "go bjorg"
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "That's one wacky nose."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Perhaps he could throw one at the king's face."
Cadiz holds action.
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "'scuse me, my freudian slip is showing.  <grin>"
Bjorg grabs the dagger and lunges at the undead man with it, saying the word "Styrke" as he attempts to plunge the dagger through the armor.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "If Diego's aim was true, he'd have to use an action to remove them, and he'd have a +5 TN when attacking us (and us, a -5 attacking him)..."
GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "roll it"
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 2k2: 8 2 | 10
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "drama die?"
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "i believe i still have some drama die?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "heh"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you do"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "One or two?"
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 1 die: 8
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "do i know the TN here or whatever? is this enough?"
GameMaster says, "The knife hits the breastplate, and cuts through it like putty...."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "excellent =)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "It's >16, I think..."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "damage"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Aha."
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "the TN can't be 16, can it?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Charles), "it depends on if the armor affects it or not"
[7thsea] Bjorg asks (of gm), "any magic-dagger added bonus to damage?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I think it's 15/20"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to GM), "Right, sensible."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yeah, there's an extra unkept die"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "thought so"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "you're destroying the armor!  go for the throat - less damage to  . . . ."
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "the booty!"
[7thsea] Bjorg laughs.
[Setting the zoned flag.]
[Unsetting the zoned flag.]
Flag cleared.
[7thsea] Eolo says, "as long as he stays away from the rear of the armor, he won't hurt the booty"
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "arg brane hurts ... damage roll is what if i have brawn of 3?"
[7thsea] Cadiz exclaims, "Rah Rah ree!  Stab him in the knee!  Rah Rah rass!  Stab him in, uh, the other knee!"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "5k2, right?"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "3 brawn + 1 for dagger + 1 unkept?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun realizes that someone is still carrying pants for Era, in addition to the dress and, er, other things?
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "5k2"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Cadiz), "yay"
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 5k2: 3 3 3 7 8 | 15
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "wait don't i keep 3 since it's 3 brawn?  or have i forgotten everything in one week? :)"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "what's kept depends only on weapon type"
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Weapon damage is the one time you don't keep your stat."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "oh, got it"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 5 dice: 9 1 1 9 7
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "wow, zombies are tough"
[7thsea] Barbie_bjorg says, "Fighting zombies is hard!"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "If you aimed for his head, would TN be 15, 20, or 25?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "he has 27 flesh wounds"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "jeezus"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Zombies carrying spiky maces are tough."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Heck, most people carrying spiky maces are tough."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "well, no"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "dangerous, but not tough"
[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "The queen has no weapon?  Or what did she attack with?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "She's just using her hands. (Which don't have claws on them, if you care to ask)"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "she just lunged at Diego.  being undead brings out all the primal urges."
GameMaster says, "Queen attacks Diego again"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "When you care enough to ask the very best."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Queen takes rook."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "he's more of a knight, I think"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says (to Eolo), "Yay"
[7thsea] Federico says, "As long as they both stay away from the bishop, I'm fine."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "and the bishops are out of play"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 3k2: 5 9 7 | 16
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Also, TN=20"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "hee hee"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right, miss"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Hmm. These might not be zombies."
GameMaster says, "Diego deftly dodges out of the way of the Queen's swinging hand"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Zombies don't like weapons, and have talons, according to the book. Not that we know that, without suitable Wits rolls."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "You can presume someone knows that"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Also, can I be the Rook?"
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "wait, so then they're not zombies?"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Era comes closest to being a rook right now."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "eolo"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "rooks can move any number of spaces in a straight line, and have 4 resolve"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Fed), "heh"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Yes, Charles=Rook. High Resolve and all."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "heh"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "therefore i am a rook"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Not unless something wacky is going on here."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "action, please"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "something wacky probably is going on either way"
Eolo holds his action, waiting.
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "I prefer to think of myself as the opposing queen.  :-)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Diego"
CharlesAlgun asks, "If these are zombies... why is he swinging that thing at us?"
Eolo asks, "if they live, does it matter how we fight them?"
Cadiz says, "They're some sort of wish-induced automatons."
CharlesAlgun asks, "Aren't zombies supposed to have claws and such, not spiky things on sticks?"
Bjorg asks (of Charles), "If you were locked in this tomb for a hundred years, wouldn't you be a bit mad in the head too?"
Federico says (to Charles), "These are not true zombies. These are the byproducts of Keestakes meddling with that accursed ring."
DiegoValdez swings Era's petticoat at the dead king's face, hoping to tangle him and blind him for a bit....
Eolo says, "I suppose they might care about the island being destroyed, if they are not zombies"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "that's improvised weapon"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "plus a raise"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "also the funniest attack we've had all game"
Era_Khar'Kov thinks this is the part of the wish that went bad.  Their *bodies* didn't decay, but the person inside is long gone.
DiegoValdez says (to Era), "Sorry, milady, but I do believe they're more useful on him right now."
CharlesAlgun says (to Viledel, in Vendel), "Do not fight us. We have knowledge that ay be important to you."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "So ... Finesse?"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "bjorg speaks vesten?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "yep"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "finesse"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Bjorg is Vesten."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "Presumably, but he's not talking much."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 4k4: 10+6 6 9 6 | 37
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "Well, he is one."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "roleplay that, please"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Vendel and Vesten are the same language, right?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "I told him to hold, that we meant no harm.  no response."
[7thsea] Federico says, "Yeah,"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov asks, "is an action die = another panache die?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "yeah"
[7thsea] GameMaster asks (of Diego), "er, roleplay success?"
DiegoValdez does in fact manage to wrap the petticoat around the king's head. "Hah, talk about pulling the wool over someone's eyes!"
CharlesAlgun asks (of Viledel), "Does the name Metheneme mean anything to you? Did you build that temple?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "not to mention no response to anything at all, except to attack.  i say get over it, they're not human anymore and we can kill 'em. :)"
GameMaster says, "era, go"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "hmmm..  Next round I should roll 4 then.  +2 speed for the goshawk."
GameMaster says (to CharlesAlgun), "The body lumbering around with a mace isn't responding much"
CharlesAlgun says (to Viledel), "We are here with her blessing."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Move your body, yeah..."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "or at least we're leaving with it."
Era_Khar'Kov dives at the king, clawing his eyes.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "doubleraise"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2k2: 1 7 | 8
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "roll it"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "nope."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "hrm"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "just for the record, i am NOT leaving this fight until I get my hands on that sweet spiky heavy weapon"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "I just flap in his face for a second."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Did Eolo do his phase 4 yet?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Yay disorientation."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I held it"
GameMaster asks, "anyone have a phase4 left?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "apparently I'll be needing active defense"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Bjorg), "If you do, should I take your knife?"
GameMaster says, "phase 5"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun has one, but thinks he might be the only knife-user here.
[7thsea] Eolo exclaims, "take his knife .. please!"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "I think next up is ... phase 6, Eolo ... unless the king and queen are doing anything."
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "sure, if you're skilled with daggers"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I have knife skill."
GameMaster says, "going once, going twice..."
GameMaster says, "phase 6"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I also have keestake's knife"
GameMaster says, "Eolo"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun exclaims, "Sold, to the zombie in the striped shirt!"
Eolo jabs at the king again with the javelin.
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3 dice: 9 4 2
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Eolo), "Era's knife?"
GameMaster says, "You have to pick it up first"
GameMaster says, "But you can use your held"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "I don't think Keestake had his own knife, did he?"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "pick it up first?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "anyone can use the powers that are enscribed on the knife, so it'll go to whoever can use it best.  once i get something nicer. :)"
GameMaster says, "You threw a javelin at him before"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "You threw the javelin last time."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "er, I thought I just jabbed him with it"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "hmm, unless i'm feeling greedy"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "but whatever."
GameMaster says, "Right, Eolo connects..."
GameMaster says, "Hits the armor, doesn't penetrate, but..."
[7thsea] Cadiz says (to eolo), "you can roll 3k3, you know."
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Or whatever."
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Cadiz), "yeah, keep forgetting."
GameMaster says, "There's a large spark that hits BOTH the king and Eolo"
Eolo says, "ow."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Whoopsie."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "That's why you should throw it."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "apparently"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "roll 3 dice electrocution damage"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun laughs.
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3k3: 8 5 5 | 18
[7thsea] Eolo says, "more ow."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "brawn against flesh wounds"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I never knew 7th Sea would include 'electrocution damage'."
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 2k2: 6 7 | 13
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "tsk tsk, don't laugh at the pain of others ... wait, this is the vodacce"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "dramatic wound, please roleplay, also, you drop the javelin"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "hahaha"
Eolo winces as the electricity shakes him, the javelin falling from limp hands.
GameMaster says, "The king jitters, the armor sparks with electricity..."
GameMaster says, "The king collapses on the floor, the mace clatters down with him"
CharlesAlgun says, "And good riddance."
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "fight over? or is queen still being a pain?"
GameMaster says, "phase 6"
Eolo mutters, through clenched teeth, "worth it."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "queen still unhurt"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is she armoured?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "no"
[7thsea] Federico says, "She has a stain."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "most likely a blood stain, from a blade wound to the chest"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Federico), "A dracheneistain?"
[7thsea] Eolo laughs.
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "Out, out, damn spot!"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Cadiz?"
GameMaster says, "phase"
GameMaster says, "7"
GameMaster says, "cadiz, go"
[7thsea] GameMaster asks (of bjorg), "what initiative dice do you have left?"
Cadiz, who was behind the queen, gets out the length of wire, and attempts to loop it over the queen's head.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Eolo seems to be our master slayer, here."
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to GM), "9"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "thanks"
[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "What should I roll?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "hey, i helped"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "First he takes out half the pirate archers alone, then he zaps the king..."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Yes, yes you did."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "improvised weapon, finesse, with raise"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "(I don't remember; where'd the wire come from?)"
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 3k3: 9 9 6 | 24
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Charles), "and do you guys give me any respect for it? nooo."
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "A trap."
[7thsea] Cadiz says (to Charles), "The crossbow trap."
[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun says, "Oh, right. Thanks."
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Piano wire?"
[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "Did it work?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Federico), "Violin strings?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you get the wire around her neck"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Federico), "yeah, but he doesn't have Music (Piano) anyway"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Can Diego attack a Queen, if she's already dead, or does that offend his sensibilities? :)"
Cadiz pulls the wire back, as taut as possible!
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2k2: 1 6 | 7
GameMaster says (to Cadiz), "It doesn't do much of anything"
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Heh.  That was brawn."
GameMaster says, "Diego"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "if she's got a blood stain from her chest, she's probably doing fine without an intact heart.  odds are her lungs aren't terribly busy either."
GameMaster says, "go"
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Also, I'm trying to keep her mostly incapacitated, so others can hit her."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Arr, lagflood ... one moment...."
[7thsea] Federico says, "s/incapacitated/decapitated."
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Fed), "hee hee"
[7thsea] Bjorg laughs.
[7thsea] Cadiz says (to Federico), "Defenestrated--it's all the same, really."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Diego, go"
DiegoValdez turns his attention to the queen and takes a stab at her.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Diego, sit. Good Diego."
GameMaster says, "roll 'em"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 5k4: 4 10+7 4 8 3 | 33
GameMaster says, "Diego makes a lunge and stabs straight through the chest"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 5 dice: 9 3 1 6 2
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "woot"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "(shoulda raised and gone straight for the throat....)"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "will she mind if it goes into the hole that the old wound left?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is he rolling damage for you?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 4k2: 6 2 10+2 2 | 18
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Eolo), "Is there an actual hole left?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "The ring could have fixed that up."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I dunno, I'm too much of a gentleman to look in her shirt"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right, 18 flesh wounds"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "if her heart isn't pumping, and her lungs aren't moving, I doubt a heart-stab will slow her down, much."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "I was preemtively doing brawn roll"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Well, is there a hole in the shirt iself?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "it didn't fix the bloodstain.  cheap wishes, not like they used to be."
DiegoValdez exclaims, "REAL ladies don't throw themselves at strange men!"
GameMaster says, "The queen staggers back as Diego cuts a hole in her"
Cadiz moves back too, taking up the slack.
GameMaster says, "Cadiz, go"
DiegoValdez normally wouldn't hit a woman ... but this obviously isn't a Real Woman.
Cadiz uses the backwards momentum to pull the queen to the floor.
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2k2: 6 10+6 | 22
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "(that was brawn)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Yay"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "whoop!"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "woo"
GameMaster says, "Cadiz tugs back as hard as he can...with no effect"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "heh"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "grrrrr."
[7thsea] Federico says, "These are Vestens."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Drat."
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "admittedly, she does have, what, 5 brawn?"
GameMaster says, "phase 8"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "also, could you take the damage caused by her falling on you?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Perhaps we need strange and arcane magicks to hurt them."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "undead vestens, doubly nasty"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "I'm going to guess 2."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Bjorgman, do your wurst."
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "yeah, that or we could just cut off the limbs and not worry about her"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Considering that she's rolling *5* dice for her wound checks......."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Er, wait, you're 9."
GameMaster says, "phase 9"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "that's my cue"
[7thsea] Queen says "I'll bite your kneecaps off!"
Cadiz calls out, "Don't forget--three bodies, originally!"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Get the mace first."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "Oh, hmm."
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "btw, any sign of body number three?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "not that you can see at present"
CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "Perhaps the third is behind that wall."
CharlesAlgun points to the souheast.
Bjorg quickly picks up the spiked mace.
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "do I have time to attack as well?"
Sargent disappears through an invisible gap in the MUD. You think you may have heard the sounds of chatting before the gap closed again.
GameMaster says, "No"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "ah well"
GameMaster says, "The queen lunges forward, taking Cadiz and the wire with her..."
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "do I have time to notice anything new about the mace? ie. magicky stuff?"
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "should I even bother doing a test of brawn?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Cadiz), "ah, go ahead. Brawn"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 5k5: 8 1 3 3 7 | 22
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2k2: 6 1 | 7
[7thsea] Eolo says, "mm"
[7thsea] Federico says, "All hail Queen Andre the Giant."
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "too bad that wasn't 3 1 3 3 7"
GameMaster says, "Cadiz goes airborne and lands backwards on the floor"
[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "yay"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 1 die: 6
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "6 flesh"
Cadiz says, "Ow."
[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun asks, "She's bleet, is she?"
GameMaster says, "Round 10"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to cadiz), "don't forget to brawn test"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Hmm ... should be Bjorg on 9?"
CharlesAlgun lunges at the corpse with his dagger.
[7thsea] Eolo says, "he grabbed the mace"
[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says (to diego), "i picked up the mace"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Bjorg grabbed the mace"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4 dice: 1 2 1 4
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "right"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "6"
GameMaster says, "Charles lunges and misses badly, almost running into the wall"
[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "wooo"
GameMaster says, "phase 10"
CharlesAlgun loses his footing, and barely avoids falling down.
[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "erm, ilac, like it matters"
GameMaster says, "Held actions, use them now"
GameMaster says (to Federico), "I think you are the only one with held actions now"
Federico runs to Cadiz and tends his wounds.
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "first aid?"
[7thsea] Federico runs around screaming, "Have mercy on us, please, don't kill me!"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yes"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "not much of a vampire killer, our priest is"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "no holy water to throw on the zombies, nothin'"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov asks, "Where's Buffy when you need her?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "oh well :)"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Damn. Um. with a TN of six can I raise for any reason?"
[7thsea] Federico says "I *knew* I should have gotten that 'Turn Undead' advanced knack"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "name something to raise for"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Um. Getting him back onto his feet as well."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "raise 30 to give Cadiz a bionic implant"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "sure"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 5k3: 1 7 8 9 9 | 26
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "roleplay it"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "no laser eyes for us today"
[7thsea] Eolo exclaims, "shockingly, he makes the roll!"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "By the way, that was a 20 point raise. You barely made it."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "heh"
Federico runs past the oblivious Queen, slaps an improvised poultice onto the monk, and yanks him onto his feet in a deft move.
GameMaster says, "also, initative again please"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2 dice: 7 1
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 2 dice: 9 2
[7thsea] Federico rolls 2 dice: 2 5
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3 dice: 4 2 7
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 1 die: 6
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 1 die: 8
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "wow, same as last time"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 3 dice: 6 1 5
[7thsea] Eolo says, "grf. 2 4 8"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 4 dice: 4 2 8 6
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 1 die: 8
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "2 4 6"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "1, 6, 8 (I forgot speed from goshawk)"
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 3 dice: 3 7 4
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 3 9
GameMaster says, "Era"
GameMaster says, "go"
Era_Khar'Kov flies at the queen
Era_Khar'Kov says, "slashing . . ."
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2k2: 7 9 | 16
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 4 dice: 2 5 8 10
GameMaster says, "Era goes straight at the Queen's head, the Queen dodges out of the way..."
GameMaster says, "Diego"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Eolo?"
DiegoValdez goes straight for the ex-lady's throat.
GameMaster says, "Oh, I added wrong"
GameMaster says, "Heh"
GameMaster says, "Diego anyway :-)"
GameMaster says (to Diego), "roll"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, I'm just going to retrieve the javelin, so."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "I don't know how many raises to get her throat ... hoping to slice her head off."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 5k4: 1 8 9 3 10+4 | 34
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "yay decapitation"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you managed"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "go, Diego!"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "vootie"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "please describe"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "but is she still moving?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Most excellent."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "er, no, she won't be"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Even more excellent."
DiegoValdez spins, weaves ... his sword snakes out and snips the dead queen's head off as neat as you please.
[7thsea] DiegoValdez exclaims, "There can be only Juan!!"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "So the question here is, who's Juan?"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Juan Diego???"
GameMaster says, "The head bounces off the wall and onto the floor a couple times"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Charles), "the 6th month of the year, I think"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "My fencing teacher."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Boingy, boingy, boingy..."
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "Juan Diego to the movie with me?"
CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "Nice slice."
GameMaster says, "The rest of the body slumps to the floor"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov applauds the slicing and dicing.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "That's... awful."
[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "But the head lunges at your feet!"
Eolo says, "effective."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "NO TOE IS SAFE FROM THE KILLER HEAD"
DiegoValdez slips his sword along the queen's dress to wipe off the icky stuff.
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "yep ... it's nearing 1am and my jokes will only get worse"
DiegoValdez says (to Charles), "Thank you."
CharlesAlgun, after taking a quick look at the two corpses, runs to examine the north (originally empty) niche before we're attacked again.
GameMaster says (to Charles), "still empty"
Federico says, "Let us move from this place."
Eolo bends, painfully, to retrieve the javelin, then reexamines the south wall.
Federico begins searching the brick wall.
GameMaster says (to eolo), "perception"
Bjorg takes a curious look at his new mace, and gives it a few practice swings (safely away from everyone else of course).
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of GM), "No markings on the slab?"
GameMaster says (to Federico), "one moment"
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 4k3: 10+1 9 6 2 | 26
DiegoValdez says (to Eolo), "Are you alright, senor? You did a very brave thing back there."
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "er, does crippled penalty apply?"
CharlesAlgun searches the two, er, corpses.
GameMaster says (to Eolo), "There's a lever near the southwest edge"
Eolo says (to Diego), "I will last."
Era_Khar'Kov lands near the queen's head, and pokes at her hair.
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to era), "yay, or ewwww.  i'm not sure which. :)"
DiegoValdez unwraps Era's petticoat from the king's head, rather embarrassedly.
GameMaster says (to Federico), "There's a bronze plaque"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to DiegoValdez), "hee hee"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun wonders if, for modesty's sake, Era would be capable of dressing before recoverting.
[7thsea] Bjorg asks (of GM), "anything noticably interesting about my new fun weapon of pain?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "if she flies into her clothes and makes two raises"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "And even if not, it might be fun to see a goshawk trying to wear a peticoat, corset, gown, etc..."
[7thsea] Federico says, "Can I read it."
GameMaster says (to Federico), "Here lies Prince Horedel / Brought Down by Illness / In the Twentieth Year of Viledel's Reign"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Nothing in the corpses, then?"
Cadiz picks up the body of the queen and puts her back on her slab,.
GameMaster says, "It's professionally carved"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "eek, prince.  that means youthful vigor in those undead bones."
GameMaster says (to Charles), "I'm getting to it"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "also disease, maybe"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun nods.
Federico says, "This is the tomb of the prince. It was sealed by a surer hand than the old caretaker."
GameMaster says (to Charles), "Well, there's a shattered breastplate, and the helmet is still lying there"
CharlesAlgun takes the helmet and the breastplate, trying to determine if they're sill of any value.
GameMaster says (to Charles), "He's wearing a rich blue robe but you don't see anything else"
Federico says, "If the King were alive to leave anything, it would be within with his son."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4k3: 4 9 3 1 | 16
Eolo asks, "do you really wish to trouble the dead further?"
DiegoValdez says, "Frankly, I'd rather think about getting away from this place."
Eolo pulls the lever.
Era_Khar'Kov flies to her petticoat, and tries to pick up part of it in her beak.
GameMaster says, "There's a great CLANG"
CharlesAlgun looks up.
GameMaster says, "And the south door falls down to the south"
Federico asks (of Eolo), "I thought that the entire point of this insane adventure was to still the funeral ship of a long dead prince. Or was I mistaken?"
DiegoValdez says (to Era), "Begging your pardon, er, senora."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "The wall opens? Or the bricked door opens?"
DiegoValdez looks south, tense.
GameMaster says, "Into water...the ocean laps up to what used to be the side of a wall"
[7thsea] Eolo asks (of GameMaster), "s/wall/door/?"
Era_Khar'Kov leaps into the air in startlement at the noise.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "not bricked, south wall"
Eolo says (to Federico), "you are of course correct."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "the surprisingly smooth wall part"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right"
Eolo says, "my apologies."
Federico says (to Eolo), "Then let us depart."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Still underground?"
GameMaster says, "Also, outside it is getting dark"
Cadiz breathes in the fresh air.
CharlesAlgun dons the helmet.
GameMaster says, "The wind whips around rapidly"
DiegoValdez asks, "(hopefully) an escape route?"
Cadiz says, "I just hope there's a boat behind that bricked wall."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "The sky is outside?"
GameMaster says, "The sky has many thunderclouds"
Eolo says (to DiegoValdez), "if we have enough time remaining to flee the island"
Bjorg looks up from his new toy to the sight of the ocean.  He considers cursing it to it's face for bringing that ring upon them, but decides against it.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "(Also, is the breastplate still usefully wearable, or is it junk?)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "the wall just opened up to expose the sea"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Charles), "let me get back to you in a sec"
CharlesAlgun inhales the sea air.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Sure."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Oooo dear ..."
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Bjorg), "so c'mon, smash the wall"
[7thsea] Federico exclaims, "We're 20,000 leagues under the sea! Eeagh!"
[7thsea] Bjorg asks (of eolo), "it's open, what's there to smash?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Charles), "It looks like antique Vestenmannavnjar armor, perhaps collectable"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Bjorg), "brick wall."
[7thsea] Cadiz exclaims, "Gotta get 'em all!"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "unless there's a boat elsewhere"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "pokewall"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "wall yourself in"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Charles), "you would need a specialized expert to tell how much"
CharlesAlgun says, "These things certainly look valuable."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "admittedly, that wouldn't be very popular with the kids"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "but it'd go over well with their parents"
CharlesAlgun says, "I wouldn't be surprised if they could be sold for quite a bit of money."
Cadiz says (to Charles), "Perhaps we should leave it with the dead."
Thunder crackles outside...it is raining
CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "If we leave it here, it will only be destroyed with the rest of the island."
DiegoValdez says (to Charles), "Brother Francesco is right ... let's think first about finding some sort of flotation device."
Bjorg says (to Cadiz), "The dead have long left this place.  Anything that moves in ths tomb once we're gone has no more right to it than we."
Cadiz says, "And if the pirates had never come, it would have remained undisturbed."
CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "Well, the boat would probably be in the last niche there, the sealed one."
Eolo says, "boat first, then we discuss"
DiegoValdez is examining the bricked-up opening.
Federico asks (of Eolo), "What is beyond that door?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "it has the bronze plaque"
CharlesAlgun looks at the bricked wall as well.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "and bricks"
Bjorg walks over to this bricked-up part to see if he can help.
Era_Khar'Kov flies to a bricked over area, taps it with her beak, and warbles at the party.
DiegoValdez knocks on it at various places.
Eolo says (to Federico), "the ocean."
CharlesAlgun asks (of Bjorg), "Do you think you'd be able to break through with that mace?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "there's hollow space behind it"
Cadiz lugs the king back to his slab.
Eolo assists Cadiz.
Bjorg says (to Charles), "I suppose we could try, if there's no other way in."
DiegoValdez checks out the hollow space behind the plaque on the bricked-up portion
Rain slants inside from the sky.
CharlesAlgun says, "It doesn't look like the bricklayer would have intentionally left a way to open this one."
The sea begins to make large waves.
Bjorg says, "I wish we had some other choice rather than robbing the graves of what used to be good Vestenmannavnjar people."
CharlesAlgun says, "And that rain is a likely sign of an impending storm. A very nasty one, if you know what I mean."
Bjorg says, "But, it seems we don't."
Eolo says, "hurry, please."
GameMaster says (to Diego), "The whole thing has hollow space"
CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "One swifty blow. And quickly."
DiegoValdez checks out the hollow space.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Swifty? Er."
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "One swifty blow, tom."
Bjorg takes a swing at the bricked wall with the mace.
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "I think the hollow space is on the other side of a layer of brick."
GameMaster says, "do a heavy weapons roll against 10"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "To-hit or damage?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "to hit"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Cadiz), "yay"
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 5k2: 5 1 3 1 4 | 9
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "oh crapo"
[7thsea] Eolo laughs.
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell exclaims, "!!"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "well, no rush, i'll just try again"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun bursts out laughing.
GameMaster says, "Bjorg slams the mace against the bricks but it doesn't make a dent"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "man, that ruled."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "in a bad way, but still."
CharlesAlgun says, "Perhaps one of us could do better..."
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "practice run"
DiegoValdez exclaims, "Again! I'm sure it *almost* worked!"
CharlesAlgun says, "I think you arm may be hurt."
Bjorg says, "Er, this wall does seem rather sturdy, but I'll try again."
Some water splashes in and hits Charles in the face
Bjorg looks just a bit embarrased.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "If that's rolling to-hit, wouldn't that mean he missed the wall?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "it means he hit the wall but did no damage"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Quickly. Please."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "walls have special rules :-)"
CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Quickly. Please."
Bjorg takes another swing.
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 5k2: 6 9 9 2 8 | 18
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "damage"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Hooah."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "it's regular heavy weapon damage"
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "which is ... ?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "sorry, haven't used one before this :)"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "3k2 + brawn"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "6k2? 7k2?"
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 6k2: 10+7 6 10+7 3 9 10+3 | 34
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "good lord"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "3k2"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "whoosh"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "yeeeeeah"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "+ brawn of course"
[7thsea] Cadiz exclaims, "Woo!"
GameMaster says, "There's a clattering, some of the bricks fall in"
DiegoValdez makes sure to stand where he doesn't get hit by flying bricks.
GameMaster says, "You can barely see what seems to be part of a boat"
Cadiz performs last rites on the king and queen while the wall's being smashed in.
There's a LOUD thunderclap
Bjorg says, "That's better, just needed to loosen up the swinging arm after all that delicate dagger business."
DiegoValdez exclaims (at Bjorg), "Bravo, senor! Bravo!"
CharlesAlgun grabs at the hole, to see if he can pull any bricks out from he broken wall with his hands.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun exclaims (at Metheneme), "We're coming, just a moment!"
GameMaster says (to Charles), "brawn"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 2 5
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "and, just so i'm not totally lost, this weather seems to be threatening us?"
DiegoValdez tries to pull out loose bricks too....
GameMaster says, "Nope"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2 dice: 4 2
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "because i'm in the mood for a rune"
GameMaster says, "nope"
CharlesAlgun steps back.
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "even more nope."
CharlesAlgun exclaims (at Bjorg), "Strike, now!"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Er, after Diego steps back too, that is."
Bjorg swings again.
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 6k2: 6 2 8 7 5 6 | 15
Federico says (to Cadiz), "Brother, they were gone longe before we reached them."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "wait"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "everything > 10 causes damage"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "wrong roll"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "heh"
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 5k2: 9 5 10+10+8 1 3 | 37
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "now do damage"
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 6k2: 3 10+2 4 7 1 1 | 19
GameMaster says, "More bricks fall apart..."
CharlesAlgun beats on the lower part of the wall with his fists, meanwhile.
GameMaster says, "There's an opening but not enough to climb through yet"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2k2: 3 10+7 | 20
DiegoValdez tugs again at the bricks.
Bjorg says (to Charles), "Best just to keep clear of my swing, I think."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2k2: 5 8 | 13
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Charles), "you manage to pull one brick"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "well as long as they're not getting thwacked in the head"
Cadiz says (to Federico), ">sigh<  I know.  But it seems right to do this anyway.  Who knows if it was done properly when they first died."
CharlesAlgun yanks out a brick, and turns to hurl it at the wall.
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "heh"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Er. What would I roll to throw a brick?"
A huge wave of water flies in and drenches Federico...he barely manages to remain standing
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "improvisedf"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "We're alternating with you ... tugging as you wind up, dodging as you hit."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Straight Finesse?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 6 8
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "14"
Federico exclaims (at Cadiz), "BLBRLBBLB!"
You hear, distantly, down the corridor, voices and footsteps
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Do I roll damage for that?"
Eolo says, "damnation."
DiegoValdez exclaims (at Bjorg), "HURRY!"
Bjorg swings!
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 5k2: 10+1 1 2 6 3 | 17
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Charles), "no"
Eolo says (to Diego), "I think you would be best served wielding a sword at this point"
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 6k2: 9 2 7 5 1 2 | 16
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Charles), "probably easier just to hit with the brick"
DiegoValdez draws his sword and stands closer to the corridor entrance.
DiegoValdez says (to Eolo), "Si ..."
GameMaster says, "There's an opening you could theoretically climb through"
Eolo says, "we'll need to get a boat out, perhaps"
CharlesAlgun grabs the brick, and starts banging on the wall with it, to widen the space to something a boat could fit through.
Eolo says, "but we could look first"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2k2: 5 10+9 | 24
Eolo holds a torch for Bjorg to look in.
The voices get closer...you hear arguing
Bjorg says (to Eolo), "Then jump in and look, and I'll continue to open this hole wider."
Eolo says, "as you wish"
Eolo climbs in himself.
GameMaster says, "There's a small galley...and in the middle there's a body, warpped up in linen"
DiegoValdez judges the corridor entrance ... how many people could come through at a time, he wonders. And how many dead bodies would stop it up?
Cadiz calls to Eolo, "Watch out for princes!"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "erm, yeah watch out for that zombie in there by the way"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "no boat? no exit leading to possible boat?"
GameMaster says, "Surrounding him are plates and goblets and forks and spoons and knives of gold and silver"
GameMaster says, "Also, a chest"
CharlesAlgun asks (of Cadiz), "Can you set up your wire as a trip at the doorway?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "galley = boat"
Cadiz says (to Charles), "I can try."
Cadiz asks, "I have no training in such matters.  Anyone else?"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "is the galley large enough to hold us all?"
Eolo exclaims, "the boat is in here!"
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to eolo), "and you call yourself a piratey person"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "barely, but yes"
CharlesAlgun says, "Not I. I hear many Vodacce know these things, though."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "well, we can leave bastardjack behind."
Federico mutters "Vodacce," and jumps into the tomb after Eolo.
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "Oh, dang. There won't be room for us three."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is there enough room to get the boat out?"
The footsteps are very close now
Bjorg takes another swing at the brick wall, with Eolo out of the way of course.
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "well, as we're disembodied spirits, it's okay"
DiegoValdez says, "Get the boat out! I'll try to hold the pirates off..."
Eolo says (to Federico), "help me remove the body."
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 5k2: 6 3 1 5 4 | 11
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 6k2: 5 2 5 5 4 4 | 10
Era_Khar'Kov flies through the hole.
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "Lag!"
GameMaster says, "Three pirates burst in, holding rapiers..."
GameMaster asks, "Who's outside?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I am."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "I'm standing near the corridor, waiting for them."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "as in outside the bricked-off part? i am"
Federico says, "Charles, Bjorg, Diego, Cadiz are still outside."
Cadiz mutters, "So much for a trip wire..."
GameMaster says, "Everyone outside initiative"
CharlesAlgun roll 2

[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 2 dice: 2 6
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 2 dice: 6 7
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 2 dice: 6 8
[7thsea] Cadiz says (to diego), "You probably shouldn't automatically re-roll--you have to keep it."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Cadiz), "Are you sure? I think his is different."
GameMaster says, "Diego, go"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says (to Cadiz), "Nope. This is the advantage from my swordsman school ... my extra initiative dice is *unkept*."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Aldana, not Combat whatsit."
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "what are people next to boat doing?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "Federico and I are lifting out the body"
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Ah, gotcha."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "ok...the body isn't moving"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "or sitting up"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun exclaims (at GM), "Yay!"
DiegoValdez slices and dices the first pirate, aiming to do extra damage (1 raise)
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Um...why are we doing that?"
Eolo and Federico lower it onto the gold.
GameMaster says, "roll"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 5k4: 6 7 7 9 8 | 31
[7thsea] Eolo says, "so we can make room in the boat for us"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Gotcha."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "now we sit in it and pretend to be sailing"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "You still need some more bashes to be able to fit the galley through"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "oh, wait"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 5k2: 1 2 3 3 7 | 10
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Isn't the gold in the boat?"
Federico looks around for anything to widen the hole with.
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Diego), "he's dead, describe"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Bjorg after"
GameMaster says (to Federico), "You can use a brick"
Eolo grabs a brick also and starts bashing.
DiegoValdez slices and dices on short order, dropping the pirate in an unceremonious heap before swinging around to face the other two.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "roll against TN 10 improvised weapon, if you make roll damage 0k1"
Eolo says (to Bjorg), "if the others are managing out there, your help would be useful here."
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 3 dice: 8 6 10
Federico grabs a brick and smashes into the wall.
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "0k1 + brawn?"
GameMaster says, "Bjorg, go"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 9 4 2
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "Yes."
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 2k1: 6 10+4 | 14
[7thsea] Federico rolls 2k1: 4 7 | 7
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Also, I have another action on phase 2 ... if they're brutes, I'm going for both of them."
Another wave sends a splash of water in
Bjorg doesn't quite hear what Eolo says, as he charges a piratey fiend with his mace and aims to leave a nice crater in his chest.
A crack begins appearing in the stone floor
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Bjorg), "not that I blame you :)"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "heh"
[7thsea] Eolo asks (of GameMaster), "any bricks dislodged?"
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 5k2: 7 7 6 8 2 | 15
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "The hole is larger enough to walk through"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "but not enough for galley yet"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "yay, good roll to hit"
Federico says (to Eolo), "Again."
GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "that's hit"
Eolo repeats motion with brick.
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 1 5 8

[7thsea] Bjorg says, "ok (that's right, brutes)"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Federico), "woo"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "er, I'm actually cripped, so that roll was wrong."
Bash bash bash
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I'm not sure what it should be"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "but then, it's not like I'm doing much damage here"
Federico calls upon the power of Theus to smash through the wall in the name of the prophets!
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "if you are crippled you missed then"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "Let Federico do the hard stuff. You just put the gold in the boat."
Bjorg swings the mace with both hands from one side, crushing the ribcage of one pirate in one solid blow.
[7thsea] Whizzard says, "Theus says, "Get on ith w it then.""
You hear more footsteps down the hall
[7thsea] Eolo says, "there is that."
Bash bash bash
[7thsea] Federico asks, "How're we doing?"
Eolo turns and examines the chest minutely for traps.
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 2 6 4
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Federico), "a couple more good bashes and you can start hauling the boat"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 2k1: 5 10+10+1 | 21
[7thsea] Eolo rolls 5k3: 7 5 8 8 6 | 23
[7thsea] Federico exclaims, "Hooah!"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Attacking the third pirate (still on phase 2)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Whizzard), "I thought Wick was Theus..."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "traps roll finds nothing"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 2 6 4
Eolo finds nothing, and flips open the lid.
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 5k4: 8 9 9 9 1 | 35
[7thsea] Federico rolls 2k1: 1 1 | 1
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "Whoops. Wrong channel. :("
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "Enh, no one cares I think."
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "oof, bad roll"
Federico says, "Ow."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "describe again"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 4 5 5
DiegoValdez skewers the third pirate through the throat ... propels him to the corridor and dislodges him from his sword by kicking him back into the corridor.
[7thsea] Federico rolls 2k1: 4 6 | 6
GameMaster says (to Diego), "You see four more pirates...one of them looks different than the others..."
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Diego), "nice"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 5 3 6
GameMaster says (to Diego), "he looks rather familiar"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 2k1: 9 4 | 9
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "eeeagh one-eye pirate of EVIL"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "Oh nooo...."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "if that's hafkris or the redeye guy, then I cry."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Uh-oh. Crogmeister?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "luckily I'm too busy looking in the chest to notice"
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "I think Hafkris is fairly dead now."
[7thsea] Federico says, "Dude. I stared him down. It's easy."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "it's got gold, yes"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "I think tommorrow I'll knock up a perl script to do, say, 1000 rolls of everything from 1k1 to 10k10 and see what the distributions look like."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "you don't have time to count"
[7thsea] Eolo asks (of GameMaster), "that's it?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "also, boat is haulable now"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 2 3 8
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "that's it"
Eolo rummages through the gold, looking if there's anything else.
[7thsea] Federico rolls 2k1: 1 2 | 2
DiegoValdez exclaims (at Pirate), "So! We meet again again, senor! But this time, I think the advantage is mine!"
Eolo says, "damnation"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "We used trials of 10,000."
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "wow"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr asks, "data available anywhere?"
Federico says (to Eolo), "We're done. Let's get out of here."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo asks (of pyotr), "you checked the bb?"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "There's a chart in the GMG that uses it"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "I put up a url of some simulations"
GameMaster says, "I need fresh initatiative rolls from the fighters"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "What phase is this?"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "ah"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Hrm."
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says (to eolo), "missed it"
[Crows-Nest] Cadiz says, "I started calculating it, but didn't get that far."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2 dice: 8 8
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 2 dice: 7 6
DiegoValdez has disconnected.
DiegoValdez has connected.
Eolo helds Federico start to manuever the boat out.
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "there were something like 50 messages when I joined the channel, tho"
Federico begins hauling out the boat.
[7thsea] Eolo says, "er, helps."
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Eolo), "it's really heavy, but it's moving"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Er, initiative again? I was disconnected right after my last statement."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "new initiative"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "Yes."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 4 dice: 3 8 1 6
Cadiz, seeing the fighters doing OK, goes to help the boat people, after throwing in the various sets of clothes.
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "1 3 6"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "Btw, Spider-man saved day. Game was fun."
[Crows-Nest] GameMaster says, "go spider-man"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2 dice: 5 9
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2 dice: 5 4
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "for when i get to my turn ... would i have time in one action to just hold the dagger and invoke it's power while swinging at a pirate with the other hand?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "brawn rolls for the draggers"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "4, 5, 5."
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2 dice: 10 6

GameMaster says, "Ok phase 1"
[Crows-Nest] Cadiz says, "22 brawn."
GameMaster says, "Diego"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Also, if they're brutes, I'm going for more than 1."
[7thsea] Federico says, "25 brawn."
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "But a 99 Wits..."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you have to specify which ones"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "also, you don't know about the bruteness of the familiar one"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "I don't think talking takes time..."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Two of the ones I don't recognise. Well, two closest."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "roll it"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 5k4: 4 9 2 2 2 | 17
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to charles), "that i'd guess, i just want to make sure holding dagger + swinging mace is allowed"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez exclaims, "Gah!"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you miss"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "roleplay"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "since i have to be at least touching the dagger to invoke it"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "We have a croggy and four lesser pirates, right?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "you can't invoke dagger and use mace at same time, no"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Er, s/four/three/?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "rats"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "you have someone you don't know and 3 lesser pirates"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "the someone you don't know has two eyes"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "the dice odds are http://64.6.15.32/~jeff/7thSea/odds/"
DiegoValdez sends his sword flickering into at two of the pirates, but turns to hit the second too soon, missing both.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to GM), "Oooh."
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "cool"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "(that url should work for everyone, btw, even those who couldn't get it to work before)"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "hmm, so we're up against a new challenge"
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "Oh, well that's good. At least the will-bending pirate isn't here yet."
GameMaster says, "The boat is about halfway there"
[7thsea] Cadiz asks, "I guess I'm confused.  Who's the guy that looks familiar?"
GameMaster says, "People at the front ocassionally splashed by water"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Cadiz), "looks familiar to Diego"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "YOU haven't met him. I have."
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "Ah, gotcha."
GameMaster says, "Phase 2"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Is it the evil one that I faced at the stairs?"
GameMaster asks, "anyone want to go?"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "Woo. Evil almost-twin."
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to fed), "no, that guy had only one eye"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Federico), "I don't think so."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to GM), "Yes."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I'll interrupt."
Eolo continues pushing the boat.
GameMaster says, "Right, brute Diego missed swings back at him"
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 4k2: 5 10+4 6 7 | 21
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "dang"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Er, I'll interrup as soon as you're ready, that is."
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "Nice exploding dice there."
GameMaster asks, "Diego? anything?"
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell asks, "You mean the roll or the coding?"
[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun says, "I think schep coded them."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Umm ... Nah ..."
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 4k2: 1 3 3 6 | 9
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "The little 10+4 thing. Nice touch."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "9 flesh"
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "Thanks."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2k2: 5 10+7 | 22
GameMaster says, "The brute swings and makes a cut into Diego's cheek"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Yep, 9 flesh."
GameMaster asks, "Charles, interrupt?"
CharlesAlgun swings a right at one of the dumb lugs.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 5k2: 1 4 6 6 8 | 14
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "miss"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "describe"
CharlesAlgun strikes air, and the air falls down.
GameMaster says, "The boat is 3/4 of the way in the ocean"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "Woo. High threat guys too. Heheh."
GameMaster says, "The people on the other end have part of their bodies immersed in the water...they have a hard time standing"
Eolo keeps pushing
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "before we make a run for the boat and leave the pirates to die, did everyone pick up their toys? :)"
Eolo stumbles a bit as the waves lap around his thighs
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "I think it's the GM's way of forcing everyone to give up and run away eventually."
The crack in the floor enlargens...
A little steampuff bursts out of it
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "Also, that."
CharlesAlgun looks around. "Do we have time to finish this?"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "yup"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Yep, 9 flesh."
GameMaster says, "phase 3"
[7thsea] Federico exclaims, "Don't drop the grail into the steaming crack!"
GameMaster asks, "anyone?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "I"
[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun says, "Diego"
GameMaster says, "go"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Also, ISD."
Bjorg exclaims (at Charles), "No time, and our escape is ready!  Let's be off!"
[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun says, "Er, Ilac."
DiegoValdez growls and slashes again at the two in front.
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 5k4: 5 1 1 7 10+10+3 | 36
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "that's more like it"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "describe"
CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "I think I'm wih you."
CharlesAlgun backs toward the boat.
DiegoValdez is surer this time. Flick to the left, flick to the right. Thump, slump, down they go.
GameMaster says, "Phase 4"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "heh, rather musical"
GameMaster says, "The boat is basically in the water..."
The floor tilts alarmingly to the west as the crack bursts
CharlesAlgun turns back to glance at the boat, and then at the fight.
Era_Khar'Kov flies at one of the remaining pirates, claws open to slash.
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says (to Bjorg), "Aldana IS a very musical style ... and Diego is also a musician."
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2k2: 6 3 | 9
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "pfft."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "excellent"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "I knew there was a musical style, just didn't remember if it was yours"
GameMaster says, "Era swoops and the pirate easily ducks to avoid"
CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "We don't have time..."
GameMaster says, "Phase 4 still"
GameMaster asks, "anyone?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "i'm not up until phase 6, so please don't let the island explode until after then. :)"
[7thsea] Eolo laughs.
GameMaster says, "You see part of the corridor behind the pirates collapse...there's still room to go through though"
GameMaster says, "Phase 5"
CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo, et al), "Climb into the boat. Get ready..."
Federico exclaims, "!Andale! !No tenemos mucho tiempo!"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "'.."foo." really needs to stop trying to expand foo."
DiegoValdez exclaims (at Pirate), "I strongly suggest you RUN! NOW!"
Era_Khar'Kov dives at the pirate again, slashing.
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2k2: 1 7 | 8
Eolo says (to Cadiz&Federico), "someone has to hold the boat. you two get in"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "PFFT."
GameMaster says, "The pirate ducks again and laughs"
GameMaster says, "Phase 6"
Federico enters the boat.
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "I"
Cadiz hops in the boat, ready to assist those next.
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "I go again on 5 -"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov rolls 2k2: 5 2 | 7
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "fergit it!"
Eolo stumbles again as the waves churn, catching himself barely on the boat's edge.
DiegoValdez trusts that the two fallen pirates will be a bit of a deterrent, and sprints for the boat.
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "when era is done, i'm up on phase 6"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "done."
CharlesAlgun jumps into the boat himself.
CharlesAlgun exclaims (at Diego), "Get in here!"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2k2: 10+9 1 | 20
Bjorg looks at the pirate, wishes he had the time to sink this spiked mace into his head, but turns and bolts for the boat.
GameMaster says (to Diego), "You sprint towards the boat, but you feel a tugging at your mind..."
CharlesAlgun offers a hand to help Diego, Bjorg, and any others up.
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "A study in contrasts, that roll ;-)"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "aw, geezus."
GameMaster says (to Diego), "You feel compelled to turn around again..."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Do we see Diego getting tugged?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "bah"
GameMaster says (to Diego), "The pirate who interrogated you is grinning at you."
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "roll resolve?"
CharlesAlgun, seeing Diego, turning jumps out of the boat.
GameMaster says, "As you watch, his face slowly transforms...the eyes resolve into one eye and one gouged out socket"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "or never mind, you said i go"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Can I grab Diego, since I'm out of the combat?"
DiegoValdez grits his teeth. "You....!"
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "eeeagh"
GameMaster says (to Charles), "resolve"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4k4: 4 5 8 4 | 21
Croggy has entered from behind the curtain.
Croggy says, "I ain't finished with you yet..."
Eolo's head is down low anyway, steadying the boat.
CharlesAlgun says (to Croggy), "We're finished with you."
Croggy says, "You know, if you thought that was a real evil eye ward you did against me...you were wrong"
Croggy says, "But I had to check, of course"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "I resisted, right?"
Croggy asks, "Did you like my playacting?"
Federico exclaims, "That's the one! The fiend who tried to pull my mind unto Legion!"
Croggy says (to Charles), "resolve"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4k4: 10+10+2 9 6 3 | 40
DiegoValdez says (to Croggy), "Actors make poor critics, senor."
Croggy says, "Anyone jumping out resolve"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "heh"
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 3 dice: 3 1 8
[7thsea] Croggy says (to Charles), "you make it out, yes"
CharlesAlgun says (to Croggy), "Die, scum, with the rest of your kind."
[7thsea] Croggy says (to Bjorg), "You feel held back in the boat"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "i'm turning back to help Diego fight this fiend"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "damn"
CharlesAlgun grabs Diego, and forcibly drags him toward the boat.
Era_Khar'Kov dives at Diego and shrieks to get his attention.
Croggy draws out his sword....and slashes...
[7thsea] Croggy rolls 8k4: 10+5 8 1 2 8 1 4 4 | 35
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "8k*4*?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "oh, wait."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "that's not damage, is it"
[7thsea] Croggy says, "no"
[7thsea] Croggy says, "that's attack"
[7thsea] Croggy says, "and I just hit, I think"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "yeah, right."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Diego or me?"
GameMaster says, "Diego"
GameMaster says, "you can active"
GameMaster says (to Charles), "also, do another resolve"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4k4: 3 4 10+8 6 | 31
The entire west side of the floor breaks open
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 3k2: 10+7 7 3 | 24
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "keep exploding there, Charles."
[7thsea] GameMaster rolls 4k2: 2 4 6 9 | 15
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "just like the floor"
CharlesAlgun attempts to force Diego into the boat.
DiegoValdez tries a feeble attempt to parry, but is too fuzzed-out to really block anything.
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "15 flesh"
Cadiz grabs diego and tries to pull him up.
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "+9 from previous, TN=24"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is this a roll that Indomitable Will would help me with?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2k2: 4 6 | 10
GameMaster says (to Cadiz), "resolve"
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Diego), "dramatic"
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2k2: 1 3 | 4
DiegoValdez says, "Urggh."
[7thsea] Cadiz sighs.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Also, are Diego and I the only ones *not* in the boat?"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "right"
[7thsea] Cadiz says (to Charles), "I think so."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "draggers, finesse"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "er, dragger and dragee"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov says, "I'm not in the boat, but that's easily fixed."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I'm still in the ocean, keeping the boat from floating out to sea"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 4 dice: 1 3 6 2
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "until i get another shot at resolving against his will, i'm in the boat or almost there or something"
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 3 dice: 1 6 7
CharlesAlgun says (to Croggy), "Curse you, curse your eye, curse Legion, and curse every pirate fiend on this island."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "12...."
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "14."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 2k2: 8 6 | 14
GameMaster says, "A geyser bursts out from under you"
GameMaster says, "One of you tumbles against brick, the other into the water"
GameMaster says, "Er, Diego against brick"
Cadiz splutters.
CharlesAlgun exclaims (at Diego), "WAKE UP!"
GameMaster says (to Diego), "Also, your sword just flew away"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "I suppose the pirates aren't getting shaken by the brick?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Can I try to crawl back to the boat now?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "er, by the earthquake"
GameMaster says, "People in boat: You see tornadoes forming over the island....4 of them..."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "actually, the remaining brute pirate is no now longer to be seen"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun is hoping the geyser and brick would knock Diego at least partly back to his senses?
GameMaster says, "Diego & Charles: resolve"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4k4: 8 6 7 2 | 23
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2k2: 9 9 | 18
Croggy cackles and swings at Diego again
[7thsea] Croggy rolls 4k4: 6 9 7 1 | 23
Croggy says, "ack"
[7thsea] Croggy rolls 4 dice: 8 4 7 10
[7thsea] Croggy rolls 1 die: 5
Croggy says, "Do this by hand :-)"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Does anyone bow-like still ahve a bow?"
Croggy says, "36, if I'm adding right"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "no. I've got this javelin, if anyone wants to throw it"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Er, damage?"
[7thsea] Croggy rolls 4k2: 1 6 4 4 | 10
[7thsea] DiegoValdez rolls 2k2: 2 4 | 6
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "i did have a second action that didn't get a phase yet. could i reroll resolve to go help?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I'd hand it off to someone on the boat, if I were you."
DiegoValdez is out like a light.
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "or has the esploding floor made this impossible?"
Croggy cackles with glee as he cuts down Diego
CharlesAlgun tries to swim back to the floor, to reach Diego.
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "anyone on the boat with a 3 finesse?"
Cadiz tries to catch Diego before he falls into the water.
Croggy says (to Cadiz), "& Charles resolve"
[7thsea] Federico says, "I do."
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 2k2: 7 3 | 10
Croggy says (to Cadiz), "you still can't move"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4k4: 7 2 4 8 | 21
Eolo hands Federico the javelin. "You're in better shape than I am .. can do you anything?"
GameMaster says (to Charles), "you grab Diego and drag him to the water"
Federico says, "With this...I...Um..."
The tornadoes touch down...you hear a whirling sound
CharlesAlgun holds Diego with one arm and slaps him hard with his other hand (while using his feet to tread water).
Eolo exclaims (at Federico), "take the sharp end, point it at one-eye, and throw it!"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Er, that's not to hurt him."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "It's to try to wake him."
DiegoValdez is Knocked Out ... not going to wake up anytime soon.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "If that can be done."
Federico says, "All right."
GameMaster says, "roll 'em"
Federico crosses himself and hurls the javelin at Croggy with all his might.
[7thsea] Federico rolls 3 dice: 7 1 6
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "drama it baby"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Foo."
[7thsea] Federico says, "No more drama. I used mine up healing your sorry butts."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "aw, nertz"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "tsk tsk"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I don't suppose I can spend a drama die for him"
GameMaster says, "The javelin flies aloft..."
[7thsea] Cadiz says, "It'll electrocute everyone in the water."
[7thsea] Bjorg asks, "is everyone either in water or in the boat now?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Ummmmm ... Seeing as how Croggy probably isn't expecting this?"
CharlesAlgun grabs for the boat, and tries to drag himself and Bjorg into it.
GameMaster says, "The wind starts to blow it away, but..."
CharlesAlgun says (to Bjorg), "Can you reach? Give me a hand..."
GameMaster says, "It whips around again and hits Croggy in the eye"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "yay Methenme"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun exclaims, "Woo!"
Croggy tumbles backwards
Eolo looks up and grins.
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell asks, "Or, is this the power of Faith?"
Bjorg exclaims, "Methenme, you save us!"
GameMaster says, "A geyser bursts up...the force splits him in two"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "hmm did i spell that right? oh well"
Federico hollers, "Praise to Theus!"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "he did cross himself first"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "he did cross himself first"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "hee hee"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says (to eolo), "HA ha"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, ""the theological implications of this are just staggering""
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "dammit"
GameMaster says, "Ok, everyone dragged into boat"
GameMaster says, "Cutscene, one moment"
[Crows-Nest] Duchess asks, "what did that have to do with anything?"
Cadiz suddenly wakes up again, and crawls in the boat.
DiegoValdez groans as he slumps onto the wet deck.
Era_Khar'Kov perches on the yardarm.
[Crows-Nest] Duchess says, "realize that i am missing a lot of action"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says (to duchess), "you'd have to be watching"
CharlesAlgun kneels on the deck over Diego, gasping.
[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "hey hiya Duchess"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "lots of action just now"
GameMaster says, "As you watch, tornadoes---10 or 12 more than the 4 already, at least---descend from the ehavy mantle of clouds cloaking the sky."
Eolo pulls himself into the boat.
GameMaster says, "The tornados begin tearing along the island and stripping great tracts of territory up into the air"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "The tornadoes form a c line... (conga line, I mean)"
Bjorg does everything he can to help get this boat moving away from the cursed island.
GameMaster says, "Hurricane-force winds are scouring the island, and from your vantage point you can see the ruins of the town, plus the manor, barracks, and stable, begin to disintigrate, being thrown plank by plank and beam by beam into the air"
CharlesAlgun looks up into the sky, and back at the island.
[7thsea] Federico says, "Isn't it amazing how our animation has grown clearer as this happens."
GameMaster says, "You see pirates running up to the beach being thrown up in the air"
[Crows-Nest] Bjorg says, "yay"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "yay"
DiegoValdez stirs uneasily.
GameMaster says, "By the time you're a quarter of a mile out to sea, the rocking and pitching of your own boat begin to subside"
[7thsea] Era_Khar'Kov would grin, but beaks aren't exactly suited to it . . .
Federico prays a whole slew of Thanksgiving prayers.
GameMaster says, "The island seems strangely obscured now, covered from shore to shore by a gray-brown whirlwind of rocks and scrub brush and sand and sea which seems to scour the island"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Can I come to now?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to era), "now you can't change back for hours, maybe days, unless you want to be nekkid in a boat full of guys"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "sure"
[7thsea] Eolo asks, "what, her pants are still on the island?"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I hink Cadiz has pants for her."
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says (to Bjorg), "She automatically changes back at dawn."
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to eolo), "well when she changes back she'll have to put them on first"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "But I don' hink goshawks wear pants."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "we can sew her little bird pants"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is there a below-decks on the boat?"
[7thsea] Bjorg laughs.
Era_Khar'Kov..Bjorg Not really interested in being nude, but options are a tad limited. :-)  You'll have to be very gentlemently, and not look.
GameMaster says, "By the time you're a mile away, the whirlwind lifts and the island is gray-white and smooth, resembling not at all the isaldn you landed upon yesterday. There's not one hill, not one topographical feature that you remember. And, suddenly, the seas around you are still, the clouds overhead clear, and the moon and stars can be seen overhead."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "Yeah, but I somehow doubt they'll hold together when she becomes human again."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "There's a storage area"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says (to Era), "Never fear! I <gasp> shall protect <wheeze, rattle> your honour...."
Eolo says, "well."
GameMaster says, "And then..."
GameMaster says, "The stars begin whipping around, turning..."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to GM), "There we go."
CharlesAlgun gasps.
GameMaster says, "And for a moment, a flash---"
Bjorg says, "The Seventh Sea - good gods."
GameMaster says, "You see a crystal clear sea and pink mountains and green clouds---"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez asks, "Eep. Please can I come to now??"
GameMaster says, "And then everything subsides and you are sailing on normal waters...there's land you can see up ahead"
CharlesAlgun plunges his hand into the water.
[7thsea] Eolo exclaims, "I told you guys not to do the brown acid!"
Cadiz looks at the sky, trying to burn the image in his memory.
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Diego), "I said you could come to"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "I never even drank the blue potion..."
[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "My God - it's full of stars!"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Oh! Sorry, missed it."
GameMaster says, "And..."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Did I manage to wet my hand before the sea turned normal again?"
GameMaster says, "One sec"
DiegoValdez asks, "Santa Maria ... was I hallucinating?"
Cadiz exclaims (at Federico), "Quick--the book!"
CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "Indeed. We all were, I think."
GameMaster says, "Everyone with sailor roll wits + 1 unkept"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun rolls 4k3: 3 8 1 9 | 20
Federico pulls out the strange astronomy chart.
[7thsea] Bjorg rolls 3k2: 9 10+8 4 | 27
Cadiz flips to the star chart in the middle of the book.
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "woot"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "yay"
GameMaster says (to Cadiz), "Wits + research"
Bjorg says, "I have no idea where we just left, but the Seventh Sea has brought us to northern Montaigne."
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "The suspense is killing me..."
[7thsea] Cadiz rolls 3k2: 8 5 5 | 13
CharlesAlgun asks, "Montaigne?"
CharlesAlgun sighs.
GameMaster says (to Cadiz), "You aren't sure about it"
DiegoValdez says, "At least we all speak the language."
Bjorg says, "There's the port town of Crieux in the distance."
Cadiz says, "Hmmm."
Eolo says (to DiegoValdez), "almost .. providental"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "What about my look at the map?"
[Crows-Nest] Maxwell says, "Here comes our turn."
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "yay"
Cadiz hands the book back to Federico.
[7thsea] GameMaster says (to Federico), "oh, you get to roll it too"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Cadiz was also looking, I didn't notice you, sorry"
[7thsea] Federico rolls 5k3: 6 8 2 6 3 | 20
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "Yay! Crieux! One of my favorite town. :)"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Eh."
[7thsea] inky asks (of Federico), "left all your tens on the island, huh?"
[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun asks, "You founded it, I bet?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "(er, window)"
CharlesAlgun looks around at the boat, to figure out what they actually brought with them.
Bjorg says, "I wonder ... I wonder what my old shipmates would say to this story."
Bjorg says, "Never did I even dream of travelling the Seventh Sea."
GameMaster says, "A bunch of silver and gold silverware"
GameMaster says, "And a chest with gold"
DiegoValdez notes that he is swordless. Again. Damn, he really should keep a collection of those handy.
Federico whispers to Cadiz, "Your suspicions were correct. I think this is a star chart to that...other place."
[7thsea] Bjorg exclaims, "booty!"
CharlesAlgun smiles. "It looks like this was a profitable journey."
Cadiz lets out a low whistle.
DiegoValdez looks around to see if there's an extra sword handy.
Eolo nods.
Eolo says, "worth it, I suppose."
GameMaster says, "no sword in the booty, if that is what you mean"
[7thsea] GameMaster asks, "Also, do we have the new players on?"
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "a sword in your booty would hurt"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "giovanna's afk but here"
CharlesAlgun says, "Silver and gold, ancient Vesten armour, and a story of sailing the seventh sea..."
[7thsea] Maxwell says, "We're here, waiting for instructions."
[7thsea] Eolo says, "maybe not afk"
[7thsea] Pyotr says, "yo"
DiegoValdez says (to Charles), "That should stand one in good stead for a few dinner parties at least."
GameMaster says, "Anyway, intermission. I get to describe where this came from."
GameMaster says, "This was from a scenario written in 1986 by Aaron Allston called "Treasure Hunt""
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Is intermission long enough for a rerally short idle?"
[7thsea] Cadiz pushes 'director's commentary' on the DVD.
Ghogg says "I was born on a small farm in southern illinois. My childhood was happy, except once when I was bit by a one-eyed squirrel"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yeah"
DiegoValdez says (to Federico), "Oh by the way, doctor ... I think I'm ready for my surgery now...."
Pyotr says (to eolo), "ha"
Bjorg exclaims (at Diego), "Stop fussing about missing a sword.  We're hardly sailing into a fight now, and this gold will certainly cover the cost of a new weapon!"
[7thsea] Cadiz exclaims (at Eolo), "Hee!"
GameMaster pushes the 'you can come out of character and ask the GM pressing questions' button
GameMaster says, "It was written for the original AD&D system"
DiegoValdez says (to Bjorg), "Hah. True ... And one of the best, I'm sure."
Eolo asks, "for D&D, or for AD&D 1?"
Bjorg asks, "so why didn't the pirates come for us when they took Bastard and Diego?"
GameMaster says, "The pirates were goblins and orcs"
GameMaster says, "AD&D one"
GameMaster says, "I just made 'em human"
Pyotr says, "woo 1st ed"
GameMaster says, "Amazingly enough, that's almost the only change I had to make"
GameMaster says, "Except I added stuff that was 7th Sea appropriate to the basic material"
Cadiz asks, "Was Keestake human?"
GameMaster says, "Yes"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "Damn, I THOUGHT I recognized the adventure..."
GameMaster says, "He was also alone on the island for 60 years"
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "heh"
[Crows-Nest] GameMaster asks (of Whizzard), "really, you've seen this?"
DiegoValdez says, "And bonkers, no doubt."
[Crows-Nest] Eolo says, "it was a pretty safe bet it was an AD&D module"
[Crows-Nest] Whizzard says, "Yeah, I own a copy."
[Crows-Nest] GameMaster says, "woo"
[Crows-Nest] Federico says, "Oh man, that's crazy."
GameMaster asks, "Anyway, story questions before we move on?"
CharlesAlgun asks, "Was there a lot of nifty stuff hidden around that we missed?"
GameMaster says, "I'm trying to kill time for people to get back from whatever they are idling on about"
Maxwell says, "not about the first story."
GameMaster says (to Charles), "a little bit"
Eolo says (to CharlesAlgun), "oh, yeah"
GameMaster says (to Charles), "you got most of it"
Bjorg asks, "yeah, my story question above - why did the pirates leave us when they took diego and jack?"
Eolo asks, "stuff in the manor?"
GameMaster says, "The most major change was I put the ring of wishes in the story, the only time it gets mentioned in the module is when Keestake goes crazy"
Cadiz asks, "Was Hafkris supposed to be the returning character?"
CharlesAlgun asks, "Are we allowed to ask about what the potion is, or do we have to wait until we find out IC?"
GameMaster says (to Eolo), "there were a couple things"
GameMaster says, "You still have the potion, I can't say"
Eolo asks, "did the javelin have charges?"
Federico says, "Oh yeah, Is still have the potion."
GameMaster says, "There's this bit about 'when things go wrong' and one of them is if they let Hafkris live"
Eolo laughs.
GameMaster says, "and yes, Hafkris is supposed to come back"
GameMaster says, "if that happens"
Eolo says, "next time, bolt through the head, I swear to god."
DiegoValdez says, "I definitely should have killt him when I had the chance."
Eolo asks (of Diego), "was he scottish?"
GameMaster says, "Also, you were right on them being not-Thean-zombies"
DiegoValdez says, "No more stupid hostage business."
CharlesAlgun nods, "The no-claws comment tipped me off."
DiegoValdez says (to Eolo), "Heh. Possibly."
Eolo asks, "but they were zombies?"
GameMaster says, "One of those 'imprecisely phrased wish that comes back to haunt you' things"
GameMaster says (to Eolo), "AD&D zombies, but even then not really"
Eolo says, "I believe Era got that point"
Era_Khar'Kov says, "Yeah."
GameMaster says, "Anyway, this is one of the best AD&D ones I know of, most of 'em are sheer hack n' slash :/"
Maxwell asks, "Aren't those supposed to haunt the wisher though?"
GameMaster says (to Maxwell), "well, it doesn't have to exactly follow the prototype :-)"
Pyotr says, "ha"
Cadiz says (to Max), "It just generally went awry."
CharlesAlgun asks, "So why was there a secret passage from he chapel to the king's anteroom?"
GameMaster says, "Well, imagine a reason why you might want to suddenly pop out during a darkly-lit service"
Eolo asks, "to surprise people?"
Eolo says, "oh, wait."
Bjorg says, "to seem divine"
Era_Khar'Kov asks, "I keep dozing off.  XP before I"m down for the count?"
Bjorg says, "or stuff"
GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "right"
Eolo says, "also, if I had a wishing ring, I wouldn't *need* to pretend to be god"
Maxwell says, "I thought of something like that, but it got lost in the flow."
Eolo says, "or, rather, I wouldn't need to *pretend*"
GameMaster says, "Also, 15 XP for all. so that's 20 total for all the sessiosn"
Bjorg says, "woo"
Eolo says, "I don't suppose it's worth asking if we've seen the last of hafkris"
Eolo says, "yay xp"
DiegoValdez exclaims, "Yay!"
Bjorg says (to eolo), "don't give him ideas"
DiegoValdez asks, "Plus 1 for each unspent drama dice, right?"
Era_Khar'Kov asks, "Yay!  What do we do with drama dice?"
GameMaster says (to Diego), "right"
Bjorg asks, "also, that poof of dust thing was the ring crumbling, right?"
GameMaster says (to Eolo), "let's just say he was a villain"
Bjorg asks, "back when that all happened?"
CharlesAlgun says, "Woo."
GameMaster says (to Eolo), "and leave it at that"
GameMaster says "...muha muha muha"
Bjorg asks, "with the stuff and the thing?"
CharlesAlgun says, "OK, I'm spending 15 XP on Finesse."
Era_Khar'Kov exclaims, "Neato!"
GameMaster says, "I don't want to give you too much on that incident"
DiegoValdez says, "After what I went through with Croggy ... and all these unusual crises ... 15 to get Resolve 3."
GameMaster says, "Because I did say he was a villain"
Era_Khar'Kov says, "My synapses are firing at about 1/5 time, so I'll figger out what to do with my XP wealth later."
Eolo says, "night Era"
Eolo says, "I think"
CharlesAlgun asks (of Era), "Are you sticking around for the split?"
Bjorg says, "yeah likewise ... i need to look at my options for my magical exp spending spree"
Eolo asks, "er, yeah, how long is the split?"
GameMaster asks, "Can you email me your character changes, please, so I can keep track?"
CharlesAlgun says, "And I'd like to spend 6 more XP on Footwork, and save the last one. And yes, I'll mail."
GameMaster says, "Ok, it'll take an hour if you want to play to the split (no dice rolling in it)"
Era_Khar'Kov says, "G'night all.  Great role-playing!  (yes, I'll e-mail you my changes.)"
CharlesAlgun waves to Era.
[Setting the zoned flag.]
Era_Khar'Kov waves!
[Unsetting the zoned flag.]
Flag cleared.
Pyotr says (to era), "night"
Maxwell would rather sleep in general, but will gladly play now.
Era_Khar'Kov goes home.
GameMaster says, "We need vote"
CharlesAlgun is willing to do the split, if others are.
DiegoValdez says, "'night, Era ..."
Giovanna says, "I'm here"
Pyotr says, "I'll play"
CharlesAlgun votes, "Aye."
Federico says, "I'm still in."
GameMaster says (to Giovanna), "woo"
DiegoValdez will stay for the split.
Bjorg asks, "how long will the split take?"
GameMaster says, "Ok, we can do this without Era"
Eolo says, "an hour, he said"
GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "about an hour. No dice rolling"
Bjorg says, "ah"
Bjorg says, "hmm sure, why not"
GameMaster says (to Bjorg), "hence much faster :-)"
CharlesAlgun gives drama die to GameMaster.
GameMaster says, "Ok, I'm going to start this next story in media res"
CharlesAlgun gives Ghogg's sanity to GameMaster.
Eolo gives drama die to GameMaster.
Eolo says, "heh"
CharlesAlgun says, "You might need that."
GameMaster asks, "Which means you'll just have to deduce the details about what happened in the middle rather than playing through all it, ok?"
CharlesAlgun says, "OK."
[Crows-Nest] Duchess asks, "a real campaign or a skirmish?"
GameMaster says, "Btw, I had about 12 drama dice left at the end of that"
Maxwell says, "um."
[Crows-Nest] CharlesAlgun says, "The intro to the next campaign."
Cadiz says, "If you're taking next week off, maybe we can meet and just chat about stuff IC."
[Crows-Nest] Pyotr says, "we're playing to the split."
GameMaster says, "No, I'm not keeping it :-)"
Cadiz says, "And have it take place between now and then."
GameMaster says (to Cadiz), "Right"
Eolo says, "his drama dice turns into xp for him"
CharlesAlgun says (to GM), "Congrats, you get 12 XP."
GameMaster says, "I'm presuming the stuff between allows XP gain stuff"
CharlesAlgun says, "Timing."
GameMaster says, "And healing wounds"
DiegoValdez gives drama die to GameMaster.
GameMaster says, "So, everyone reset..."
GameMaster says, "You open the double doors to the drawing room."
Federico asks, "Media res?"
DiegoValdez says, "Yay healing wounds ...."
[7thsea] GameMaster says "And you see hafkris!"
GameMaster says, "Inside there is lavishly carved furniture and expensive paintings...8 chairs, 4 tables, and a number of stool."
Maxwell asks, "are we 3 here too?"
GameMaster says, "There are 4 people sitting."
[Crows-Nest] Federico throws another javelin!
GameMaster says (to Maxwell), "and Emily and schep describe yourselves"
[Crows-Nest] Federico asks, "Also, stool?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says (to Max), "OOC stuff here ..."
GameMaster says, "One of them stands...he's a man in his mid thirties with a moustache"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Emily, schep, and two NPCs?"
[7thsea] Pyotr asks, "where am I?"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "and maxwell."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "Emily, Schep, Maxwell, NPC"
[7thsea] Maxwell says, "Er, I'm with the group, or sitting ... right."
Giovanna says, "I'm a Vodacce noblewoman, but currently in Montaignian dress; dark hair and eyes, age about 17."
GameMaster says, "Er, they won't know some of that"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks, "Wait. Who's Maxwell, again?"
Eolo says, "(mamma mia)"
GameMaster says, "Just describe how you look"
GameMaster says, "When they enter"
[7thsea] Pyotr says, "maxwell == schep, I hope"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I hoped so two."
[7thsea] Bjorg says (to eolo), "ha"
[7thsea] Maxwell says, "yes"
[7thsea] Eolo says, "I'm would think she looks vodacce"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "Er, Giovanna (Emily), Maxwell (schep), Pyotr (katre) and NPC"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "oh, I'm messing up"
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Diego), "Thanks."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "yeah, it's Emily, Pyotr, Maxwell"
Giovanna says, "A woman with dark hair and eyes, then, and well-dressed."
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "sorry"
[7thsea] Pyotr says, "whew, I was afraid I was out in the stables or something"
[7thsea] GameMaster says, "hee"
Maxwell says, "(see MUD description (also, not currently smirking))"
[7thsea] Eolo exclaims (at Pyotr), "and don't come back in until they're all clean!"
Pyotr says, "a stocky man with a big bushy beard."
Unlike most of his Eisener countrymen, Maxwell Eigenspiel keeps a clean-shaven face. He is in his thirties, but his thin brownish hair seems to have a hint of gray. Maxwell is commonly smirking at something or other -- but never in the situations when you might expect a smirk.
GameMaster says, "One moment, need to switch an NPC"
Pyotr says, "(also, x pyotr)"
Umberto shakes Eolo's hand
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "btw, with this in-between time skipped, did we split the cash and have time to buy things?  or will this be explained when i find out what we're doing? :)"
Pyotr is a short, burly Ussuran.  You cannot make out his face due to his large, bushy beard and his fur cap.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun nods, "Good question."
Vodacce blood is evident in her dark eyes and curling black har; the set of her mouth hints at privilege and disdain.  But her clothes, though of excellent cut and material, show signs of wear, and she wears little jewelry.
Umberto asks (of Eolo), "Ah, hello there...I'm glad you could make it, but....I thought I said only one or two friends?"
[7thsea] DiegoValdez says, "I think the answer is Yes."
[7thsea] Federico says, "I think we'll backtrack after the split."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "Perhaps we'll figure it out from context."
Umberto asks (of Eolo), "You bring...6?"
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "sure"
Eolo says (to Umberto), "perhaps this can be worked out later"
[7thsea] Federico asks, "Signor Eco???"
Eolo says (to Umberto), "when you explain more fully"
Giovanna watches Umberto thoughtfully.
CharlesAlgun glances around the room.
Umberto says, "Ah, yes, my note was ambigous. I do see you brought the letters of reference, at least."
Umberto staches the papers out of Eolo's hand...
Pyotr stands next to the wall, his hand behind his back.
Umberto says (to Eolo), "How are your crossbow studies? You were quite the marksmen at the academy"
Umberto says (to Eolo), "One of my best students, I'd say"
Eolo says, "I keep up."
Eolo says, "not as much as at the academy, but then, I like to sleep in nowadays"
Eolo grins.
CharlesAlgun examines the paintings.
Umberto says, "Aye, I reckon you be as good as me now."
Federico idly surveys the paintings and books/papers.
Eolo says, "you are too kind, sir."
GameMaster says (to Charles), "Nymphs, dragons, mythology stuff"
Umberto says, "In any case..."
Umberto leafs through the papers
Umberto says, "Hmm...good, good...."
Umberto looks up. "Castille?"
[7thsea] Charles ">LOOK UNDER TABLE.  JUMP."
CharlesAlgun glances from the nymphs to Giovanna, but then continues looks around the room.
DiegoValdez looks up.
Maxwell watches the group of strangers with a curious look.
GameMaster says (to Federico), "Popular trash"
[7thsea] Federico says, "Heh."
DiegoValdez asks (of Umberto), "Si?"
Giovanna tries to keep close to Pyotr without being obvious about it.
Umberto says, "Ah, I guess that'll be fine, just don't see too many around here."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun asks (of Cadiz), "Now, I'd certainly look under the table, but why would I jump?"
Federico eyes the large Vodacce cautiously.
Umberto says, "In any case, let me introduce my friends..."
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says, "I mean, clearly, the next step is to >LOOK BEHIND PAINTING"
Pyotr keeps an eye on the wandering people, and moves so that they don't have him surrounded
Umberto says, "Giovanna and...Maxwell...and...excuse me, I forgot yours."
Umberto says, "Giovanna was just telling us all the story of how she came to be here."
Giovanna executes a neat little curtsey.
CharlesAlgun bows to the lady.
Umberto says, "Ah, Pyotr. My apologies."
Umberto says, "Old age. You understand."
DiegoValdez smiles roguishly and winks to the attractive lady ... bowing courteously.
Pyotr asks (of Umberto), "Sir?"
[7thsea] Eolo says (to Charles), "The satin finish provides darkly deviant good looks."
Giovanna suppresses a grin.
[7thsea] CharlesAlgun says (to Eolo), "Thanks. I just had it done; I'm glad you like it."
Umberto says, "In any case, I'm sure everyone now wants to know of the business I mentioned in my note."
Umberto says, "You see, after leaving the Academy, I travelled abit and ended up affiliated with the Explorer's Guild."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "woot"
Umberto says, "Now, we have a matter of a...delicate...nature...to process."
[7thsea] Bjorg says, "Yay Explorer's Guild"
Umberto says, "We don't want to attract attention with a regular team, you understand."
Giovanna nods.
[7thsea] Federico says, "Uh oh. Me no like Syrne."
Umberto says, "You see, the Marquis Jean-Claude du Dore has recently discovered a system of caves"
Bjorg has been rather unimpressed by al
