>>22764I can lurk, if there will be anything worth reading.
>>22764Actually, no.. i need to yet up at 5:00 tomorrow..
>>22767Probably best to sleep then.
>>22768How! (in the stereotypical native-american greeting)
>>22769Did Torc find anything about the missing money?
>>22767I think the situation is resolving, but
>>22770Yes, and I've been trying to get to that for most of the night, but there have been pressing matters.
>>22773can we watch some minecraft lets plays?
>>22774Not on mondays. I didn't pick the video for its content, but if you don't realize the irony of the content, I'll fill you in later.
>>22777>wasting trips againPHILY CHEESESTEAKS
GET EM WHILE THEY'RE HOT
I can't use rabb.it because no android website
>>22778"Sorry, I broke a rule again,... there's been game-related going off off-board. I'm sorry for that, but I am confident that it was a necessary (and exception to the rule)"
>>22781Uhm,...
Lets just say that Torcuil attempted his consultation, Infernius attempted his,... well,... Thez knows a thing or two about psychology in her own right.
For those of a apocryphal bent, Thez just taught the lesson of Saint Magdalene (you WON'T find that one WRITTEN)
I'm so damn confused right now
>>22786what did you mean by this?
>Infernius attempted his,… well,… >>22788Poor punctuation on my part. It should read "infernius attempted his, and well,...."
>>22786Is she named after Our Lady of Fatima?
>>22789im still confused as to what you mean.
>>22790Magdalene? As in Mary Magdalene? I'm getting (uncharacteristically) biblical here. Mary Magdalene was deserving of the title of "whore" given the bent and disposition of Catholocism, but she was no less (indeed MORE) of a prophet and a disciple of Jesus than ANY of the others, precisely BECAUSE of her application of the feminine attributes/virtues. She had the ability to 'give' them things that no other could/would.
>>22792I meant Thez/Gilana de fatima
Mary Magalene was a priestess of the goddess of love. If one can understand this in the context of her also "being a whore",....
>>22793There is heavy and deliberate influence, yes.
Look, I'm going to state outright; I'm not going to illustrate or describe what has transpired. To do so would both ruin the significance, and destroy the ultimate aim of the exercise. Stuff was said, stuff was done, and things were expressed. I do not explicitly detail for a variety of reasons. What I will say is that Thez has a better understanding of the circumstances around her that she observes, and has done her due diligence in working to improve the situation.
>brain short circuts
Moving on
"I love you guys, truly. Some more than others admittedly, and I'nis above all and pre-eminently, but not exclusively. Sorry, but its true."
>>22798"o-oh"
*tears up*
*infernuis goes to the mountains to brood*
"I'm back"
>>22798"I love you unequally as well"
>>22799"You don't have to speculate where on the chain you are"
>>22800In the tower with ben probably, unless he wants to be at the crime scene
>>22799"Oh you,... don't be sad. You totally missed the role I put you in!" Xp
>>22802*digs a hole big enough for me and lies in there for awhile*
>>22803"Why you sad Inferius? She said she loves you most of all"
>>22800Torcuil is finishing up his investigation of the scene. In his determination, there were no less than 4 participants to the crime, given the foot-traffic. They were all of slight build (smaller than humans), and were coordinated, in that they largely disguised their movements by stepping in their own footprints. They acted with deliberation and efficiency, and left SCANCE trace of their activity.
>>22805How much material did they steal? And I don't mean value. I mean physical weight and volume
>>22806"So why sad?"
>>22805Hmmmmm...
Are elves smaller than humans?
It could also be dwarves...
How did they get in the vault?
>>22803"If I didn't love everyone, I wouldn't be the person who you have come to love right? In a lasting sense, you're the one who wears
my ring, and I yours. Please don't be distressed in that I felt the correct course of action was to tend to someone else for a moment."
>>22808The footprints suggest that they compromised one of the walls, but there is no evidence on/around the wall to show how it was done. The wall is solid and un-marred.
>>22807Not nearly the equivalent of the jew hoard, but ~50k gold worth of bullion and materials.
>>22810"I can say truthfully that it wasn't as bad as you are probably thinking."
>>22811Of course, professinals
"Troll, can you think of common species smaller than a human?"
>>22812Holy shit.
>>22812How could all of that be stored? A single bag of holding? Several? Entire wagons? A ship?
>>22811What do the footprints look like?
>>22814Were Elves and dwarves not good enough answers?
>>22814"Most species' are smaller than humans. By the size, I am want to think elf, but elves are not known for engaging in this level of strategic nefarity. Wait. Well,... not high elves at least," she says with a sigh.
>>22817Torc, remembers something
"Troll, have any of hhe elves we saved gone missing?"
>>22815Exuse me, is this your case?
>>22816Never confirmed or denied
Clearly everyone missed the foreshadowing when GM previously indicated he had read MANY books pertaining to the Drow, the Underdark, etc.
Also, Tracy DID express a desire to get her hands on drow-knockout poison, didn't she?
>>22817"Either the gold was removed by land, by air, by sea, or it's still here. Perhaps a plane shift or astral gate, but I'm betting land and sea
>>22818It's my case now
>>22819The hell is drow?
Did Tracy fuck us all again?
Trollestia narrows her eyes and utters, "Dark-elves."
Thez gets an enthusiastic look on her face and asks, "Dark elves?"
>>22820Lenos leans over and whispers, "Dark-elves"
>>22819>drow>there are drow elvesUhhhhh, shit
>>22820Torc took it first. You didn't want it
Quick rundown - Dark elves are like elves, except with an elf's commitment to organized crime
>>22822Yes I did! I wanted to go with Tracy and you wanted the trolls, then everything was screwed up when Tracy forced herself onto the trolls, and blah
>drow elves are mostly immune to magic
I hate this shit.
>as though from a cheesy fighting game, GM exclaims
HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!!!!
>>22824If Trump was really dedicated to this city, he would put it first.
>>22827Fug
>>22827*curls into a ball in the hole*
>>22825*Pats Minotaur consolingly*
>>22825"I'll make it up to you, I promise," she says, knowing her words will avail little, but cementing the intent to be witnessed by all and delivered upon in time.
>>22829I was dedicated to addressing both issues simultaneously. Anyways, the Orcs are defeated and now we must deal with the Dark Eldar
So to Tl;dr everything, yes. The party has a new opponent, and one who has their game on tight. Don't expect any favoritism in this one, there's a player in the midst of this. ^_~
>>22833"It wasn't how you think, but I won't fault you for your melancholy. It wasn't my first choice, but I won't apologize. I did my best." Thez says as Infernius burrows deeper into the earth.
>>22835"Not just any Eldar.
Dark Eldar"
>>22837"Thanks"
>>22837"Where do these Dark Eldar reside?"
>>22836Can't say I know anything about it
>>22837Yay, a new opponent,
Right before I leave...
>>22837*infernuis sobs harder at this*
>>22841I now retire what little dignity I have at messing up the
bold >>22838She smiles, "I don't need/want thanks, I want everyone to stop fighting each-other."
>>22839Its not like you or the party are immediately fighting them, you're just becoming aware.
>>22840"Oh quit being a baby!" she mutters something about bulls and feels.
>>22840"Inferius... I know you want to bury yourself, but we must first bury our enemies.
Shall we target the Dark Eldar first? Find the source of the Orc Whag? Or shall we go on Crusade against Heretics?"
>>22843"They insulted us though by stealing from us. We must murder them. Unless we can conquer other shit more easily first"
>Thanks"It was sarcasm"
Thez perks up for a moment.
"Does this mean spooder? SPOODER!!!"
She's all smiles again, for reasons that may be detailed.
Fun fact, while I know Thanksgiving may be a holiday that anons have requirements, responisbilities, and obligations toward, GM is only working until 10a on wed and has thursday/friday off (in addition to the weekend).
I only just learned this today. So IF players are around in/around the 4-1/2 day weekend, I'm already in development for plot devices and developments.
>>22845>sarcasmNot surprising, Thez has weird boundaries
>>22846I have a city I need to go on a diplomatic mission to.
Saint Nixon opened up trade with Red China... I strive to be like him. Except, you know, do a better job at hiring burglars
Thez, pacing about chants: "Spoo Der! Spoo Der! Spoo Der!"
>>22848>burglarsCheck w/ the fight club
Also, that reminds me. To do with the Trolls, it occurs to me that the party has at its beck and call, a number of civilian forces which were more than sufficient in combatting the adversary (the trolls). Consider FURTHER delegation in the future?
>>22849We have an Imperial Guard to purge the Orcs? Excellent. Great way to train them.
>>22849I shall make you proud, Saint Nixon
>>22847*Glares*
>>22846I can't be around. But if everyone else can just have Torc fall into a coma>>22849"I don't want to know what she is going about. I'm just gonna head back to the tower, later guys."
Torc then turns to Trollestia
"Thanks for the help. I appriciate it."
Then he walks bakk to the tower
I'm heading out. See you guys tomorrow >>22850Oh, NOW you're glaring,....
>>22851"'Night!"
>>22852THIS, SO VERY AND EMPHATICALLY THIS!
Thez tells everyone "Remember, even if it isn't about Love (which is a subjective concept/experience in its own), its equally about "Not-hate". Please be well, until next time," she smiles warmly and sincerely.
>>22855>Until next timeOh No you Don't! I have more questions
Also, come to think of it, Nixon didn't know jack-shit about how to run a monetary policy. Gonna have to borrow from Saint Reagan for that
>>22857"But you were so happy to do it earlier..."
>>22860GO TO SEE SECHS
Unless Thez knows.
She probably doesn't though
"What do you know about the Court City? Would it be in a state of anarchy now that Kefka is gone?"
>>22861"Hard to say, the court city is said to be filled with Kefka's most favorable adherents, though that is no doubt to do with the threat of death that hung over everyone's head. They might be most receptive."
>>22862"Receptive to what, do you believe?"
>>22857Thez squats down next to Infernius, deliberately (but glancingly) showing her lady-parts (there's a subtle message there). She runs her hand through his mohawk, even though he's not feeling it.
"You,... I couldn't have asked that of anyone else. Thats one of the reasons I love you. When you're ready to come out, I'll be here," and she sets up a simple tent JUST on the edge of Infernius' hole.
