Dec 15 19:11:54 <Kamvakua>   Dec 08 23:16:57 <Kotono>   With a deep rumble from the depths of Earth, Kamvakua leaps up! The ground shakes as he lands, his polearm cutting through the elemnetal!

Dec 15 19:11:54 <Kamvakua>   Dec 08 23:19:05 *   Kamvakua shakes a bit, looking a little the worse for being nearly immolated, but standing ready, not quite noticing yet that there were no more salamander.
Dec 15 19:11:54 <Kamvakua>   Dec 08 23:19:38 *   Adail calls out loud enough to be heard on the other side of the wall, "This is the best the Redfire Brigade has to offer? Really?"
Dec 15 19:11:54 <Kamvakua>   Dec 08 23:19:40 <Knight>   "Once this wall is down, we should give chase!" opines Knight, moving forward. "How much healing do we have? Kamvakua's wounds are serious but not crippling-"
Dec 15 19:11:54 <Kamvakua>   Dec 08 23:20:30 <Adail>   Much more softly, he murmers, "Only one spell, and a weak one at that."
Dec 15 19:11:54 <Kamvakua>   Dec 08 23:21:26 <Kamvakua>   "Can you scout around, Adail?  Are they still there?"  Kamvakua's eyes narrowed at it.
Dec 15 19:11:54 <Kamvakua>   Dec 08 23:21:59 <Mari>   "Yes...We can't let them just run off to report back to whoever they're working for." Mari eyes the wall of fire with some distaste. "But we can't really pursue until that dies down."
Dec 15 19:11:54 <Kamvakua>   Dec 08 23:22:28 <Adail>   OOC: Alright, if we're using the wand, someone can roll healing stuff for me and then pick up next time? I need to stop here.

Dec 15 19:26:18 <Koworkworkwork>   The wall continues to burn, no reply to Adail's taunt. OOC: The wall's up, if you're going to heal roll it up.
Dec 15 19:27:25 <Knight>   "Following them won't be a problem," mutters Knight, leaning against the wall to try and catch her breath. "Not with the embers they leave behind."
Dec 15 19:28:29 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+13 Let's hope I know *something*

Dec 15 19:32:23 *   Nikkolai eyes the wall of fire with trepidation. "I take it we are pursuing with all possible haste after the wall collapses?"
Dec 15 19:32:34 *   Mari glares at the wall of fire, keeping the crossbow loaded and ready in case anything else comes charging through it. "Dammit, I don't want to let these fools regroup. You know they'll be back; we have to finish them before they recover."
Dec 15 19:33:30 *   Kamvakua relaxes as he's healed.  "We will need to do so," Kamvakua agreed.
Dec 15 19:33:31 <Knight>   "They must be completed defeated, and not permitted to report back to their superiors," replies Knight, in full agreement.
Dec 15 19:33:33 *   Adail eyes the wand as it spits out it's pitiful healing magic, "Hmph. Where did she find this, in a discount bin?"
Dec 15 19:33:46 *   Adail nods, "I agree, of course."
Dec 15 19:34:39 <Nikkolai>   "Still, you have to admire a wall of sheer flames. Pity I didn't have a chance to glimpse the casting process. This could come in handy one day." Nikkolai squints at the wall, as if trying to learn its very secrets by staring hard at it.
Dec 15 19:34:50 <Koworkworkwork>   A little over a minute passes before the wall of fire fizzles away into nothingness. The immediate way ahead is clear, save for the slain salamander lying where it was slaughtered.
Dec 15 19:35:29 *   Nikkolai dashes forward. "After them! Not a moment to spare!"
Dec 15 19:35:56 *   Adail scurries up on Kam's shoulder and lets him do the running.
Dec 15 19:35:58 <Knight>   "It is especially suited to these caves," remarks Knight, starting to dash as fast as she can after Nikkolai.
Dec 15 19:36:22 <Kamvakua>   "Eyes open, they could've laid an ambush," He quickly looked over the camp first, his quicker stride allowing him to catch up a moment later.
Dec 15 19:36:45 *   Mari races down the tunnel with her teammates, eager to punish anyone inconsiderate enough to try and take a bounty on HER.
Dec 15 19:37:14 <Koworkworkwork>   The salamander is what remains, basically. His spear lies at his side, his body ruined. He has possessions on him, not looted, though it woudl take time to search him.
Dec 15 19:37:36 *   Knight runs past it, having no time to despoil the dead whilst a battle is in the making!

Dec 15 19:42:48 *   Nikkolai casts a quick haste on the party, giving them a brief burst of speed to aid their pursuit!
Dec 15 19:43:25 <Koworkworkwork>   OOC: Are you guys going to stay together or just run as fast as yoiu can or what?
Dec 15 19:43:56 <Nikkolai>   OOC: I'll be running as fast as I can. Which is no doubt slower than the others. =/

Dec 15 19:45:47 <Knight>   OOC: Isn't it 320?
Dec 15 19:45:54 <Knight>   OOC: Haste doesn't double your speed, it adds 30feet to it
Dec 15 19:48:22 <Koworkworkwork>   Like a bullet, Kamvakua leaves the others behind! After three rounds of running, he sees something ahead! 120 feet away they burn in the distance, the remaining salamnaders! The five have spears at the ready, the leader burning with an intense, hissing fire! It runs up his body like a river current, pooling into his hands! It's lizardy face is locked into a feral grin as it watches! OOC: The rest of you are a round behind Kam and Knigh
Dec 15 19:48:34 <Koworkworkwork>   grin as it watches! OOC: The rest of you are a round behind Kam and Knight's two rounds back, basically. Go ahead and roll init all, they're pretty much waiting for you.

Dec 15 21:31:30 <Kotono>   OOC: Checking the other dead ones, Mari?
Dec 15 21:31:53 *   Adail eyes the salamander and nods, while looking over to Knight, "If I save him, we will need to let him live. I will not save a life only to snatch it back away the next moment. Is that acceptable?"
Dec 15 21:32:16 <Knight>   "Why?"
Dec 15 21:33:03 <Mari>   Mari's more interested in looming over the survivor. "We can't let any of these goons report back to their master. If they just disappear, their employer learns nothing, but if this one runs back to report in, they know where we are."
Dec 15 21:33:27 <Mari>   OOC: Mari will search the other goons when the survivor's dealt with.
Dec 15 21:34:29 *   Nikkolai inspects the sealed tube with curiosity. Perhaps it contains orders or missives? Not particularly interested in the fate of the salamander, she attempts to pry oper the tube.
Dec 15 21:34:31 <Kamvakua>   "Because death in battle is a different thing then death on a bed," Kamvakua replied to knight's question, rising up as he pulled the other bodies nearby.  "I will get the other one," He walked past, heading for where the one left behind was.
Dec 15 21:35:25 <Adail>   "Essentially, yes. To kill one in battle is regretable, but acceptable. To heal someone only to kill them a moment later is...frankly cruel. If he is to die no matter what, then let him slip away now."
Dec 15 21:36:07 <Mari>   "In that case...Nik, find any helpful orders on the leader? If we get what we need to know in writing, then we can just let this one die."
Dec 15 21:36:43 <Kotono>   The tube is pryed open! Inside is a sheet of rolled up paper. The scent of brimstone fills your nose as you peer down at it.
Dec 15 21:37:13 <Nikkolai>   "Hmm. I seem to have found something. Not entirely sure what the script is just yet. Give me a moment."
Dec 15 21:37:21 *   Nikkolai pores over the sheet.
Dec 15 21:37:30 <Nikkolai>   OOC: What's the writing, Ko?
Dec 15 21:37:32 <Kotono>   OOC: What languages do you speak, Nikkolai?
Dec 15 21:37:55 <Knight>   "That is sophistry," replies Knight, frowning. "Cruel it might be, but the cruel are those who survive in war. This is no different. He may have information that will help us prevail over unknown enemies."
Dec 15 21:38:10 <Nikkolai>   OOC: Common, Auran, Ignan, and Abyssal.
Dec 15 21:38:32 <Kotono>   The writing is in exact, painfully accurate letters and sigils. Nikkolai can't read it. It looks somewhat like Abyssal, but far far far more precise instead of Abyssal's more lax meaning and form.
Dec 15 21:40:32 <Nikkolai>   "It seems to be fairly similar to Abyssal, but far more complex. We'll have to get it translated, I suppose." He rolls the sheet back up and puts it back in the tube. He then opens the small black pouch to see if there is anything interesting inside.
Dec 15 21:41:02 <Kotono>   Nikkolai opens the pouch! As it does, the white string cuts into his fingers, drawing a few droplets of blood! Ow! OOC: One damage and make a fort save, Nikkolai.
Dec 15 21:41:40 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+8 Please don't be poison!
Dec 15 21:41:41 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+8 Please don't be poison! and gets 22." [1d20=14]
Dec 15 21:41:42 *   Adail shrugs, "Perhaps you see things that way, but I do not. Such cruelty is not something that any of my people could participate in or permit. Even if it comes back to haunt us. Expediency and Goodness are rarely on close terms, I've found."
Dec 15 21:42:16 <Kotono>   Nikkolai feels a little faint, the white string stained red with his blood.
Dec 15 21:42:53 *   Kamvakua returns dragging the body of the one who was further off and putting it down, helping strip their gear and put it aside for any that are left.'
Dec 15 21:43:00 <Mari>   "Would it make things any better if you walked down the hall out of sight when someone else finished him off? Because if none of us can read whatever Nik's got here, we'll need to hear what this guy knows."
Dec 15 21:43:54 <Adail>   "No, it would not. Knowingly permitting it is little different then doing it myself. Even if I did walk down the tunnel first."
Dec 15 21:44:12 <Kotono>   Each of the grunts have a longspear and a personal pouch, Kamvakua finds.
Dec 15 21:44:40 *   Nikkolai lets out a small yelp of pain. "Dammit, that hurt!"
Dec 15 21:44:55 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+13 How much you want to bet that thread's an alarm of some sort?
Dec 15 21:44:56 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+13 How much you want to bet that thread's an alarm of some sort? and gets 18." [1d20=5]
Dec 15 21:44:57 <Adail>   "If you will not accept any action but killing him, I will not heal him."
Dec 15 21:45:08 *   Mari sighs. "Dammit Adail, I--huh?" Mari stops to look at Nik.
Dec 15 21:45:14 <Knight>   "How it is worse than simply letting him die, I cannot see," replies Knight. "He is no better than a criminal, a would-be murderer. In almost any town, they would be interrogated, and then executed."
Dec 15 21:46:22 <Kamvakua>   "If the strong cannot show mercy, then what help do the wicked have?"  Kamvakua returned.  "If you want information, let his life be the barter, Knight.  If not, let him go peacefully with his friends into the afterlife."
Dec 15 21:47:44 <Nikkolai>   "Hmm. Seems there's a trap bound into this thread to keep it tightly shut." Nikki sucks on her wounded finger in a pouty manner. "Good thing it didn't poison me or anything else just as nasty."
Dec 15 21:48:06 <Adail>   "As usual, my large freind says what I am attempting to in a far more eloquent manner."
Dec 15 21:48:30 <Kotono>   OOC: ...wow. Make another fort save, Nikkolai? You just ingested something you shouldn't have. <_<
Dec 15 21:49:00 <Nikkolai>   OOC: Le sigh. I need to sleep before I kill myself.
Dec 15 21:49:18 <Nikkolai>   roll 1d20+8 Go ahead and kill me, Hatbot. Why not?
Dec 15 21:49:19 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Nikkolai rolls 1d20+8 Go ahead and kill me, Hatbot. Why not? and gets 9." [1d20=1]
Dec 15 21:49:20 <Kotono>   OOC: When the PM tells you 'it's usually paired with poison or disease!' the idea isn't to start sucking the wound. <<
Dec 15 21:49:39 <Nikkolai>   OOC: I'm tired! Today was truck day. annnnnd I'm poisoned.
Dec 15 21:50:08 <Mari>   "Then cut the thing open," Mari says dismissively. "Look, guys, I don't know how much experience you have with being hunted, but whoever this is isn't just going to stop. In my experience, you either make sure you're on another plane when they start looking for you or kill them when you have the chance. Obviously we failed the first part, so we need to know who's after us."
Dec 15 21:51:38 <Knight>   "If mercy was truly your desire, then you would save him regardless of what information he might hold," replies Knight, rising from the body.
Dec 15 21:53:43 <Kotono>   Nikkolai starts to get up but wobbles instead! She spins like a top, before face planting intot he ground! Her rear points up, her face pressing hard down!
Dec 15 21:54:35 *   Kamvakua blinks and turns, checking up on the girl instead and testing her forehead.
Dec 15 21:55:05 *   Knight wipes some sweat off her brow, and glances over her shoulder at the thump with some alarm. "Nikkolai? Are you injured?"
Dec 15 21:55:17 <Kotono>   Her forehead is cool as normal. She looks to out colder than the Snow Queen's tits in a brass bra.
Dec 15 21:55:40 <Kotono>   *to be
Dec 15 21:55:51 <Mari>   "What the--" Mari sighs. "Nik, what in the hells did you do this time?"
Dec 15 21:55:58 <Adail>   "I'm sure our current employer can translate that note when we get back to her. Or we can purchase a scroll for a spell that will let us read it ourselves."
Dec 15 21:56:17 *   Kamvakua looked over her quickly for wounds, noticing the cut finger.  "I think...Adail, could you take a look?  I think Nikkolai encountered something dangerous.  She's completely unconscious," He laid her down carefully.
Dec 15 21:56:22 *   Adail then ceases arguing and moves over to Nik's side, trying to see what ails him
Dec 15 21:56:40 <Kotono>   OOC: Using magic or heal ranks or just looking him over?
Dec 15 21:57:17 <Adail>   OOC: untrained Heal check I suppose to see what's the matter?
Dec 15 21:57:22 <Kotono>   OOC: Sure.
Dec 15 21:57:50 <Adail>   roll 1d20+5
Dec 15 21:57:51 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Adail rolls 1d20+5 and gets 8." [1d20=3]
Dec 15 21:58:10 <Kotono>   Whatever happened to Nikkolai, he has a cut finger and is out cold. That's what Adail can tell.
Dec 15 21:58:57 *   Adail looks Nik over and shakes his head, "Dammit, this isn't my specialty. I wasn't trained in any healing besides simple cure spells. And whatever the problem is, I doubt it's anything a basic cure can fix..."
Dec 15 21:59:30 <Knight>   "We may need to head back regardless of our timetable," replies Knight, grimacing.
Dec 15 22:00:02 *   Adail nods, "I can head onward alone to deliver the package, if I must. Stealth IS my specialty."
Dec 15 22:00:36 <Mari>   "If anyone cares what I think, I say we head back, get this thing translated, and get Nik help for whatever it is he did to himself. I want to know who's after us as soon as possible."
Dec 15 22:00:46 *   Merc has quit (Quit: -=SysReset =-)
Dec 15 22:01:05 <Knight>   "Are you certain that is wise?" asks Knight, dubiously glancing ahead. "We should choose the safest option whilst travelling in these lands, I feel. Granny Tam will just have to wait."
Dec 15 22:02:10 <Mari>   "You'd be okay alone, Adail? Getting there and back by yourself? It's not like we were given a deadline here, right? We can take time to look out for ourselves."
Dec 15 22:03:50 <Adail>   "I'm safer alone then most. Those few who could spot me could never catch me. I can burrow right into solid rock if I must. But as I'm willing to go on, I'm also willing to go back if everyone thinks that's the best idea." He twitches his whiskers, "I'll admit to having a somewhat deserved reputation for recklessness back in Celestia."
Dec 15 22:04:10 <Kamvakua>   "Adail is much more able than he appears, He may be able to go where we can not." Kamvakua wasn't opposed to his brave route.  "We do need to get Nikkolai to a proper doctor soon."
Dec 15 22:05:17 <Knight>   "Well, I also wish to travel to this plane," points out Knight. "So I would come back here sooner or later anyway. I don't want to waste our time, but..."
Dec 15 22:05:36 <Mari>   "Well...alright. But reckless isn't the half of it. Devils are running the town in Magma, right? I don't want to imagine what they'd do to you just for fun if they found you. If you're sure about this..."
Dec 15 22:09:48 <Adail>   "No, you really don't. And believe me, I'm more then capable of imagining it myself. But it really boils down to a simple question. Is the delivery a stealth mission or not? If it is, it's best I go alone. If not, then we should all go, yes. Or perhaps everyone BUT myself should go."
Dec 15 22:11:57 <Mari>   "As I've said, I don't want to go anywhere until we know who sent these goons their marching orders. They didn't ask for you, so I guess it's possible they aren't looking for you, but it's still dangerous to go alone. I won't stop you, Adail, but I'm set on finding out who set this bounty before doing anything else."
Dec 15 22:13:42 <Knight>   "Just so," adds Knight, leaning down to try and pick up Nikkolai's body. "Although, I believe in any case we would need to make use of Adail's talents. It is just..." She shrugs. "We have enemies, and their domain is where you would likely travel. We can take a few more days."
Dec 15 22:14:35 *   Adail nods, "Very well then. Let us move quickly if we're getting him back in time. Kam, you carry him, of course. I'm afraid I can't help much with that chore."
Dec 15 22:15:43 <Kamvakua>   "While we would probably slow you down, Adail, it's best to decide that after our comrade is seen to," He stood, gathering their things into a sack and eying Knight, seeing if she had it under control.
Dec 15 22:16:08 *   Adail mutters in celestial about there being never enough time to study everything he needs to study as he scales Kam's shoulder and puts the wand to work.
Dec 15 22:16:13 <Adail>   roll 5d8+5 more healing
Dec 15 22:16:14 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Adail rolls 5d8+5 more healing and gets 35." [5d8=4, 8, 6, 7, 5]
Dec 15 22:17:08 <Adail>   "Ah, that's better! Guess it was just clogged the first time or something..."
Dec 15 22:17:47 <Kotono>   roll 1d100
Dec 15 22:17:48 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 15." [1d100=15]
Dec 15 22:20:24 <Kotono>   Thus the party travels backward, stopping to rest. As they settle in for the night, Nikkolai groans and stirs, holding her head.
Dec 15 22:22:27 *   Adail goes to check on his condition
Dec 15 22:22:30 *   Kamvakua is resting, trusting to Adail's guard, allowing his body to recover from the massive burns he'd taken over the day.
Dec 15 22:22:36 *   Mari can't really do anything to help. This is just another reason to get back to civilization with all possible haste.
Dec 15 22:23:22 *   Knight is already sleeping, no doubt, having drifted off as soon as her eyes closed.
Dec 15 22:23:44 <Kotono>   Nikkolai yawns, smiles and lies back down, murmuring, "Sleepy."
Dec 15 22:24:23 <Adail>   "Then sleep. We'll have you to a healer soon."
Dec 15 22:25:21 *   Adail goes back to keeping watch
Dec 15 22:25:34 <Kotono>   Thus the next day comes! Nikkolai is awake, but she's clearly groggy and sleepy. OOC: Refresh spells/heal HP for resting. If any of you have anything you wanan do, do so. Otherwise say you're moving along.
Dec 15 22:26:21 <Mari>   OOC: Nope, good to go.
Dec 15 22:26:24 <Adail>   OOC: I've got nothing to do. Moving along is fine.
Dec 15 22:26:32 <Kotono>   roll 1d100
Dec 15 22:26:33 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 1d100 and gets 20." [1d100=20]
Dec 15 22:26:37 <Knight>   OOC: I'm good to go.
Dec 15 22:27:04 <Kotono>   The rest of the trip back to Hardsoil is without incident. You reach the town as you feel tired, the day's heavy walking finished at last. Hardsoil bustles, the town as you left it. OOC: Ball's in your courts.
Dec 15 22:27:43 *   Knight looks forward to going back to the inn and changing out of her armour, and then having a long, luxurious bath.
Dec 15 22:27:55 <Kamvakua>   "We should see if the town healer can take a look at Nikkolai soon," Kamvakua suggested and asked the innkeeper about one.
Dec 15 22:29:08 <Mari>   "Right. And we're asking our employer about this note. I'm not taking it to anyone else--if there's a bounty on us, I don't want to give anyone the idea of collecting on it."
Dec 15 22:29:37 *   Adail nods, "That's the best idea, yes."
Dec 15 22:29:43 <Kamvakua>   "I agree," He nodded.
Dec 15 22:32:51 <Kotono>   The innkeep eyes Kamvakua, "Healer? Last proper priest we had ran into the Dao's sword. Damned shame. Granny Tam usually has some potions'n'there's a herbalist in town. Well, more likea fungalist, but it works."
Dec 15 22:33:17 <Mari>   "May as well see Granny first? We're going there anyway."
Dec 15 22:35:14 *   Knight shrugs. "Let's head out, then."
Dec 15 22:35:46 <Kotono>   Heading to Granny Tam, they find themselves listening to her as they enter. "Back a bit early, are we?" she calls from seeming just around the corner, "How'd it go?"
Dec 15 22:37:03 *   Kamvakua wisely stays quiet, letting another draw Granny Tam's attention.  Not that he's scared or anything, but he did notice the trend of first speaker.
Dec 15 22:37:34 <Mari>   "Bit of a detour as a result of someone trying to kill us. We've got a note that needs translating and, well, I dunno what's wrong with Nikki here, but it'd be great if it stopped."
Dec 15 22:38:04 <Kotono>   "Well, isn't that special?" With a cackle, "Hold up the note for Granny Tam ot see, Missy!"
Dec 15 22:39:17 *   Mari does so (keeping a lookout for whatever might be peering back at her to read the note, of course).
Dec 15 22:40:36 <Kotono>   OOC: Make a spot check, Mari?
Dec 15 22:41:16 <Mari>   roll 1d20+11
Dec 15 22:41:18 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Mari rolls 1d20+11 and gets 16." [1d20=5]
Dec 15 22:44:06 <Kotono>   Mari doesn't notice anything. Nonetheless, "Oh, oh, oh. By order of Judge Sin and signed by Protocal Agent Likra, the holder of this note is authorized to proceed into Firegorge Path."
Dec 15 22:45:12 <Knight>   "A letter of transit," remarks Knight, with some interest. "Firegorge path, being.. a road in the para-elemental plane of magma, I presume?"
Dec 15 22:45:21 <Kamvakua>   "That may be useful."
Dec 15 22:45:52 <Mari>   "...How about that. Is that all it says? We took this off a gang of salamanders that were out looking for us."
Dec 15 22:45:55 <Kotono>   "I've heard of it. A path the devils walk..." Granny Tam considers a few moments, "What else did you find on the assassins, Missy?"
Dec 15 22:47:30 <Mari>   "Oh, let's see here..." Mari produces the ojbects Nik found on the leader. "A rock...a jar of red gunk...and this little bag that cut Nikki when he--she--tried to open it. I guess maybe that caused the sleeping somehow?"
Dec 15 22:48:10 <Kotono>   "Red gunk? Open it up for me to let me see, Missy!" Granny Tam's voice is sharper now, quicker, "Show me what it is!"
Dec 15 22:50:33 <Mari>   "Uh...Sure, right..." Mari places the flask of...stuff...on a table, opens the lid, and *very quickly* steps back. Just in case. Too much tragedy has already occurred in this shop.
Dec 15 22:51:08 <Kotono>   With a heady giggle that echos over the shop, "Oh, wonderful! You won't mind if Granny helps herself to it?"
Dec 15 22:52:03 <Mari>   "I might if she doesn't give us something in exchange, or at least tell us what it is."
Dec 15 22:54:28 <Kotono>   "Oh, a greedy Missy, eh?" Her giggling increases, "Very well." Floating into the air comes a vial of a cool, ice crusted blue liquid. "Gulp that down, then take a tiny dab of that red gel and swallow it. That'll be your payment and then some - don't worry, you'll survive just fine."
Dec 15 22:56:11 *   Mari catches the blue vial, but looks skeptical. "You're sure about that. The LAST couple times I came in here, I left looking like a freakshow. Actually, I still do..."
Dec 15 22:56:33 <Mari>   roll 1d20+11 sense motive (if I can do that on voice alone), like I'm taking her at face value by this point!
Dec 15 22:56:34 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Mari rolls 1d20+11 sense motive (if I can do that on voice alone), like I'm taking her at face value by this point! and gets 23." [1d20=12]
Dec 15 22:56:39 <Kotono>   "You won't die! You'll be happy! Now drink it!" Granny Tam calls from far away, "I'm sure!"
Dec 15 22:57:36 *   Adail moves up to sniff the at the red container a bit, but certainly not sticking his nose right in it or anything.
Dec 15 22:57:48 <Mari>   "...Right. Be glad I'm the adventurous sort, or I wouldn't have come back here after the first time." Mari drinks exactly as much as suggested from both vials.
Dec 15 22:58:59 <Kotono>   The blue liquid leaves Mari shivering all over! It's like she stepped into a cone of cold! But the moment she swallows the red gel, her body feels as if it's burning! OOC: Make a fort save.
Dec 15 22:59:17 <Mari>   roll 1d20+7 I fucking knew it
Dec 15 22:59:18 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Mari rolls 1d20+7 I fucking knew it and gets 19." [1d20=12]

ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 3d6 fire damage. and gets 12." [3d6=3, 5, 4]
Dec 15 23:03:47 <Kotono>   Mari bursts aflame! From her mouth she spews out pure fire, her nose and eyes following suit! She writhes in fire before her body turns ice blue, the flames going out! Mari feels numb all over, burnt and then cold and then...dazed. OOC: You gain the following: Inner Fire(Ex): You natural body temperature is much higher than the norm. This grants you fire resistance 3. Further, due to this, you deal an extra point of fire damage on any unarmed
Dec 15 23:04:16 <Kotono>   unarmed or melee attacks you make.
Dec 15 23:06:23 *   Mari gasps. "YOU...I...oh SHIT..." She pounds her fist on a nearby table as she struggles to get her breath back. "Why do I still listen to anything you say?"
Dec 15 23:06:55 <Kotono>   "It toughens you up, Missy!" The red gel container flies up and away, going around the corner and out of sight. "You're far better off now!"
Dec 15 23:07:28 <Mari>   "Right, right. Suffering's great for personal growth, I hear." She coughs.
Dec 15 23:07:40 <Knight>   "Are you alright? Shall we visit the herablist?" asks Knight, moving over to rub Mari on the back.
Dec 15 23:07:52 <Kotono>   Mari's quite warm to the touch - hot in fact.
Dec 15 23:08:16 <Mari>   "Uh, I think I'll be alright. Except for the whole still being an orc thing, you know."
Dec 15 23:08:43 <Knight>   "It's- this must be a fever! Come on, I- no, no, you must be sick. Even I can tell that much."
Dec 15 23:09:08 *   Mari bats Knight's hand away. "I'm not sick! I feel perfectly fine."
Dec 15 23:10:00 <Kamvakua>   "It could simply be a side effect," Kamvakua eyed the orcish gal.  "Do you have any idea what may be wrong with Nikkolai, Granny Tam?"
Dec 15 23:10:14 <Knight>   "Um..." Knight glances at Adail and Kamvakua. "Can't you check?"
