026.5 "It always starts in a pub."

[Corwin]

[20:16] <Kotono> With Sending cast, Tepen calls on an old friend of Ithea named Brangen. Once the Sending is completed Elder Magi Tepen exhales and sits down heavily, closing his eyes before he replies, "Aaah. They're currently on Earth, in a cave-city known as Marambor."
[20:23] * Ithea nods. "Okay, thanks Teppen," Ithea says with relief at finding someone quickly. "I'm going to see if I can find someone less likely to scare the locals than Annalise to take me there, see if I can't find some more information or someone else interested in joining us here in Aurora."
[20:24] * Ithea starts moving out to the courtyard, deciding to try her luck with Kascha, figuring she's somewhere there observing Arrel or Baleruk, most likely.
[20:25] <Kotono> You find the two - Arrel and Kascha. The former looks a little skittish, but they're having a conversation in Draconic. "...that's why," Kascha says, nodding slightly. She cracks a smile, "Lady Amaryl gets the same look in her eyes sometimes. Like she wants to lie down in a pile of those coins."
[20:30] <Kotono> "Yes, if you can get that many gold coins, nothing's better...except platinum or gem-carved coins," Arrel doesn't really smile - you're not sure if he can, really, but you can catch a hint of amusement in his voice.
[20:30] * Ithea pauses and frowns a bit at seeing Arrel looking skittish, remembering the curse that's on Kascha and herself, and seeing what's likely a result of it. It's a bit saddening, but at least they're interacting. "Hello, Arrel. Hey, Kascha," Ithea greets the two.
[20:32] <Kotono> You get a pair of greetings, followed by Kascha asking, "Oh Ithea, are you busy right now?"
[20:33] <Ithea> "Not at this moment, though I was planning on a certain task," Ithea answers, and curious about the question, delays on asking her own request, instead asking, "Do you need help with anything?"
[20:37] <Kotono> "I wanted to talk to Sylvie. You saw what she did against the Child of Lifasa?" Asking that as she stands up, closing a book ni her lap and tucking it under her arm, "I want to ask her more about that. You wouldn't happen to know where she is, would you?" After getting all that out, "Oh, sorry, what was your task? I got a bit tangled up in what I was thinking."
[20:41] <Ithea> "I wanted to ask if you wouldn't mind going with me to...well, taking me to, rather, to Earth; Marombor if you know where that is. I wanted to hunt for some information there, talk to some old familiar faces, and see if I couldn't drum up some more people to join us here," Ithea says.
[20:41] <Ithea> "It can wait a bit though, if you want to chat with Sylvie first, hell, maybe she'll want to come and stretch her legs for a bit. I admit not to know her too well, but have you tried the library?" Ithea suggests.
[20:43] <Kotono> roll 1d20+27
[20:43] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+27 and gets 32." [1d20=5]
[20:45] <Kotono> Snapping her fingers, "You mean Marambor? I went there once with Kresset and - oh wait, Kresset's an earth elemental who works with Seira. Anyway, we went there once. Huge towers, all dark and scary earth. Really moody, shadowy and quiet except for the thump of the elementals and xorn."
[20:46] <Ithea> "Teppen said it was a cave-city, so that sounds about right," Ithea says.
[20:49] <Kotono> Stretching herself, "Let's go find her. Once we do, going over is easy. The city's not warded against travel of any sorts, so we can just use greater plane shift or plane shift and teleportation to get there."
[20:54] <Ithea> "Great! That'll save time. I figured worst case I might have to look up information about the city in the library," Ithea says. "Let's see if Sylvie's there anyway though." Turning to the dragon-blooded eagle, she adds, "Sorry to steal another of your conversation partners, Arrel, I'm starting to make a bad habit of doing that, aren't I?"
[20:55] <Kotono> Arrel rises, "We talk every day. I'll not begrudge you this. Besides, it is time to go out and fly."
[20:58] * Ithea nods. "Alright, see you later then," she replies, starting to move back towards the fortress to head to the library. "How are you finding Aurora, Kascha?" she asks, having not talked with Kascha much outside of that whole incident with Baleruk and accompanying her and Jaela afterwards, and wanting to make some conversation.
[21:02] <Kotono> "Oh, I like it." Kascha smiles as you head along, "There's so much happening and so many people to talk to, so much to learn and so many stories."
[21:07] * Ithea nods in full agreement. "I still don't know everybody here very well. I've barely had a chance to know Sylvie either, she seems to mostly interact with Jaela and Afina, I guess," Ithea says.
[21:16] <Kotono> Heading into the library, the duo find Sylvie there as they chat. She doesn't have a book. Instead she lies deeply in a comfortable chair, looking up at the ceiling. Her gaze is rather far away, but a small smile is on her face.
[21:18] * Ithea lets Kascha take the lead, since she's the one that wanted to talk to Sylvie. She'll interject herself into the conversation and also ask if Sylvie wants to come along when the conversation starts winding down.
[21:25] <Kotono> "Hi. Sylvie?" Kascha approaches, "That was an incredible book if it could do that! Can I borrow it to read?"
[21:26] <Kotono> Sylvie's smile stays in place, even followed by a laugh. It's a sound full of nothing but deep, genuine amusement. "I could give it to you, but it's not a book to be read lightly. It's heavier than all the world. It leaves nothing behind but the truth, no matter what you'd wish otherwise. It may well destroy you or drive you into the darkest depth, all for what it wants."
[21:28] <Ithea> "Well, it is a powerful artifact given what it did, but why would it destroy us? Isn't it a tool for good or something?" Ithea asks with a raised eyebrow, curious for more information about the power that could destroy the child of Lifasa.
[21:32] <Kotono> "It's a tool to understand and dissect Evil. It's not the same thing." Sylvie replies as she looks over to Ithea, a hint of a smile on her face, "As I understand it, the Three were law, chaos and balance between them. Good and Evil came later, thanks to all of us."
[21:38] <Kotono> "Ooooooh," Kascha opens her book and starts writing, "...and came later," she concludes after a few moments of furious scribbling. "That sounds useful."
[21:39] * Ithea nods. "Had a bit of that knowledge shared by that big guardian guy."
[21:39] <Kotono> Sylvie shrugs lightly, "Ithea. I was going to go find one of you sooner or later, so..." She smiles a bit, "I don't want to carry 21 anymore. I don't think I need to, I...when it happened..." she pauses, as if ruminating hard on her next words. Her brow furrows, "I think I was uniquely qualified to dispatch the Child of Lifasa. Maybe that was the point of the entire affair. I don't think
[21:39] <Kotono> many others could have finished it off."
[21:43] <Ithea> "...Do you have any preference for who it's carrier should be?" Ithea asks with a musing expression. "I imagine you'd have the most insight into that."
[21:45] <Kotono> "Someone who can carry the weight of it on them. It's not a physical weight, but a spiritual weight. Someone with the strength of spirit to carry it, and someone honest enough to where the truth doesn't destroy them. Someone with great will and great virtue would be wisest."
[21:48] * Ithea muses on that, and says as she moves closer, gesturing by stretching her hand out, "May I? I don't know if I fit those requirements, but at least, I don't think it would destroy me."
[21:53] <Kotono> "Alright," Sylvie does just that, taking Ithea's hand! (More in PM)
[21:57] * Ithea draws her hand back slowly, shaking her head. "...I don't think I should be it's holder," Ithea says. "How you could stand to, for all the time you have so far..."
[22:01] <Kotono> Sylvie offers her hand back out, "I had nothing left. As miserable as it is, the moment I took it, I knew it was still better than where my own chosen path would have taken me.  It..." Here Sylvie pauses, hesitates. "It woke me up, and gave me a reason for everything. A reason to why I ended up here, and a point to it all. I saw what the Child would have done, Ithea. If you had let it
[22:01] <Kotono> be born, you would have become nothing but mindless slaves to the Child and Hell. You would have smiled, even as the Child had a barbazu rip your throat out and drag your soul into the flames."
[22:06] <Kotono> Kascha grows pale at that image, "That's horrible! The Child was that strong?"
[22:06] <Ithea> "Yes, we'd heard of that fate...mind you not nearly so graphic a picture of a likely result. Still, I can see what you meant about a spiritual weight now."
[22:11] <Kotono> "You can give it back now if it's painful," Sylvie offers, hand stil out. "You were one of the lucky ones, too. You don't want to know what it planned for Willim or Jaela."
[22:17] <Ithea> "No, probably not," Ithea says with a shake of her head before pausing, and handing the artifact back. "It's...not quite painful, but it definitely isn't pleasant either. If you can stomach holding it for some time longer, I would honestly prefer not to keep it's weight myself."
[22:19] <Kotono> The weight leaves Ithea, bringing relief to her. "I can hold it," she says, "A final bit of advice - I'm not sure if it is following a purpose or acting on it's own, but 21 isn't an unthinking tool. I've been going back and forth on it, and the only answer I have is that 21 would keep it ambigous."
[22:22] * Ithea nods. Looking at Kascha, she asks, "Do you still wish to try holding it?"
[22:25] <Kotono> Kascha hums a moment, before shaking her head, "No, not really."
[22:28] * Ithea smiles slightly at that. "I imagined as much," she replies before turning back to Sylvie. "You feel like getting out of Aurora for a while, stretch those legs and meet some new faces? I was planning to head to Marombor with Kascha," she invites the other woman, while mispronouncing the city name again.
[22:31] <Kotono> "Alright," Sylvie rises, "I could use a change of scenery."
[22:33] * Ithea smiles. "Glad to have you aboard. Can't promise anything exciting, admittedly, I don't know the place at all, just have some old friends there."
[22:35] <Kotono> "Well, I'll show the two of you around," Kascha promises, "Let's go!"

[Corwin]

[22:38] <Kotono> You feel heavy. Your body is oh so heavy. It's dark here - so very dark. You stand in a square of sorts, the air slightly stale. Around you rise stone buildings of all shapes and sizes, shadowy and dark. Only occasional light-sources illuminate everything, and creating great, deep seas of shadows. It is silent, save for an occasional thump. Around you walk humanoid beings of pure stone
[22:38] <Kotono> and earth, going to and fro.
[22:42] <Ithea> "Okay, I guess I should try to find that friend of mine or some other kinsmen. Can't be too hard given what the usual denizens look like. You have any recommendations of where to start looking and asking though, Kascha? Marketplace, entertainment districts, or the like?" Ithea asks as she looks around the place.
[22:44] <Kotono> "Earthforge," Kascha says, "It's the pub for planar visitors. Just don't start a fight - it's neutral ground and policed by the elementals. Fiends use it just as much as celestials."
[22:46] * Ithea smiles a bit at that. "Did the others ever tell you that's how we got this whole Aurora thing started? We were at a pub in the astral and some bearded devils come in acting like they owned the place. We may have gotten a little rough with them."
[22:48] * Ithea shakes her head. "Well, I'll try not to kill any fiends we meet. I can't see Lifasan survivors being happy hanging out in a place with fiends admittedly, but lead the way."
[22:50] <Kotono> "It always starts in a pub," Sylvie says with a hint of a smile, "That's how all the stories start, anyway." Earthforge isn't far - a big building amid big buildings, the door open and light spilling out.
[22:54] * Ithea goes inside, looking for any catfolk inside. And fiends too, because frankly, even if she won't start a fight (probably), she's still going to make sure she keeps an eye out for them.
[22:58] <Kotono> Earthforge has a large tap room. Here several are about - a being of pure flame, sitting on an iron seat that smoulders beneath him. A blue, insectile creature, with a spear at hand. A loathesome thing, reading from a book and it's many-faceted eyes taking in every letter.  At a table drinking is a humanoid turtle, green skinned. A little nearby is indeed a catfolk - a man, dressed well
[22:58] <Kotono> enough and with his feet up.
[23:00] <Ithea> roll d20+28 K:P knowledge to recognize races.
[23:00] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+28 K:P knowledge to recognize races. and gets 48." [d20=20]
[23:01] * Ithea heads towards the catfolk, trying to see if it's anybody she knows. If not, she can just ask if he knows Brangen or anybody else that she does.
[23:04] <Kotono> A fire elemental and an ice devil, respectively. You aren't sure what the turtle-creature is, but it isn't a traditional outsider. Still, you can catch something about him. Something watery. Coming closer, you can see you know this catfolk! His name is Tom, you recall. Not one you know well, but it is still a familiar face.
[23:06] <Ithea> "...Tom!" Ithea greets as she approaches. "There's a face I've not seen in ages. Don't know if you remember me?" she asks as she comes to a stop next to him.
[23:09] <Kotono> Tom looks up, blink-blinking, "Ithea!" He calls, "Oh wow, you're alive!"
[23:10] <Kotono> Kascha and Sylvie follows. The first gives the gelugon a hard look, while the latter merely follows along after giving everyone in the bar a look.
[23:11] <Ithea> "I've been...busy," Ithea says. "Found out that Brangen had settled here and so had others after we all got out of Lifasa."
[23:12] * Muirfinn perks up a bit at the mention of Lifasa and turns to look at the newcomers.
[23:12] <Ithea> Briefly eyeing the ice devil with a frown, she adds, "Figured it was time to catch up, you know?"
[23:14] <Kotono> If the gelugon notices, it shows no sign of it. It continues to read. "What have you been up to?" Tom asks, "Had a tough time of it?"
[23:17] <Ithea> "I've been up to so much since that time, I wouldn't know where to begin. Lots of tough times, but I've gotten stronger from it all. Have a lot of us settled here in Marambor? Didn't honestly expect this sort of place when I managed to reach Brangen."
[23:20] <Kotono> "A fair few. We're thinking about staying here instead of on the Prime," He answers, "After what happened to Lifasa, it might well be safer."
[23:21] <Muirfinn> Standing and coming over to the group, the tortoise-man has what looks like it might be a smile on his face. "Hello, I couldn't help but overhear that you are from Lifasa?"
[23:23] <Ithea> "Hrm, I suppose, though having to see..." Ithea replies to Tom, pausing to gesture towards the ice devil. "...well, that can't be a pleasant reminder." Turning towards the turtle man, she blinks. "Uhm, yes, so we are? And you would be?"
[23:25] <Muirfinn> "Ah, I'm sorry. I should introdice myself first, yes? I am Muirfinn, of the Shellscale tribe or tortles. We were on Lifasa when the cataclysm began. Do you know of others from Lifasa?" The tortle says.
[23:29] <Ithea> "I do. Many others in fact. I can't say I'm familiar with your tribe, but it's nice to meet you, Muirfinn. I'm Ithea...and oh, I've been a little rude. Tom, Muirfinn, these are Kascha and Sylvie," Ithea says, gesturing in turn to the other two women as she introduces them as well.
[23:32] * Muirfinn bows at the waist in greeting. "It is nice to meet you. It is fortunate for me that I have found someone who knows so many survivors of Lifasa. We were not sure just how many had escaped after we fled. Tell me, have you thought of joining those who fight the infernal invaders on that strange fortress, the Aurora?"

[Corwin]

[19:54] <Kotono> "Infernal invaders...?" Sylvie mouths and shakes her head, a strange, bemused smile crossing her face.
[19:55] <Kotono> Meanwhile Kascha's attention lingers on the gelugon, eyes half on it as she replies. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
[19:56] <Kotono> For his part, Tom frowns but ultimately says, "He sits there and reads most of the time. He goes out of his way to avoid making trouble." A grunt follows, "I didn't even realize he was a devil until someone else mentioned it. I hadn't seen his type before now."
[20:00] * Ithea also looks a bit bemused with Muirfinn's straightforward question about Aurora. After the bartender incident, it might help to be a little less needlessly suspicious of everyone. "Are you planning on joining them, Muirfinn?" she asks, nodding at Tom's response as well. "It did take me a minute to realize he was a devil and not some other race, I admit, and I've seen a lot."
[20:02] <Muirfinn> "I am. Well, we are. My people have decided that they no longer wish to hide from the legions of Hell. They sent me out in hopes of finding word of other survivors of Lifasa."
[20:05] <Ithea> "Well, Lifasan do seem to have a habit of meeting in planar bars, it seems," Ithea comments, sharing a look with Kascha and Sylvie. "I've met pixies and celestials, hagspawns and even trolls that called Lifasa home. And now I've met another catfolk, and a turtle man too."
[20:05] <Ithea> ooc: Lifasans*
[20:06] <Muirfinn> "That many people escaped?" Muirfinn looks impressed. "Did they all leave immediately too?"
[20:07] <Kotono> Sylvie just smiles, "It really always is taverns, isn't it?"
[20:09] <Ithea> "Everyone escaped when they could and fought where they could," Ithea says with a shrug. Looking at Tom, she asks, "Speaking of survivors though, do you know where Brangen and the others could be found? Also, uhm, does the name Apasa mean anything to you, Tom?" she asks, leaning in as she speaks and lowers her voice, particularly when saying the traitor's name, not wishing for the devil to hear the name.
[20:11] <Kotono> Tom shakes his head, "I don't think it does. I can take you to them - we're all saying in the western quarter of town."
[20:12] <Ithea> "Would you mind? Kascha's the only one that's ever been in this city before," Ithea says.
[20:17] <Kotono> "I can do that, Tom agrees, "Damn, it's good to see you again, Ithea. After what happened, any familiar face is a blessing."
[20:20] <Muirfinn> "Ah, would you mind if I tagged along? I have much to ask you!"
[20:20] * Ithea nods. "I guess it is. It's certainly more nostalgic to talk to someone I used to know than people I never knew before even if they were from the same world," Ithea says with a small wistful smile. Turning to the tortle, she asks, "Muirfinn, since you said you're seeking word of other survivors, would you care to join us?"
[20:22] * Ithea nods to Muirfinn's request and shifts to the side to allow Tom to get up and lead the way.
[20:31] <Kotono> On into the dark streets you go. As you walk, Sylvie speaks up, "Muirfinn, right? Why don't you tell me a bit more about yourself?" She has the same bemused expression as before.
[20:40] <Muirfinn> "Well, I am the leader of worship for my tribe. I was born some 200 years ago on Lifasa, and I was fortunate enough to be blessed by a spirit of the Mother Ocean, who my tribe has worshipped for many generations past.  We lived on the sparsely-populated warm beaches of Lifasa. Generally, we kept to ourselves. We were very insular. When Lifasa was invaded and we were attacked, we fought
[20:40] <Muirfinn> off the scouts that found us, and fled immediately to the realm of Mother Ocean. You know it as the plane of Water. From there we moved like nomads for a while. We spent time here on Earth, a brief stay in Elysium, and a shorttime in Brightwater before we found a plane similar to Lifasa, but with no people on it. Our believe it is a nameless Prime that is in its early stages. Lots of
[20:40] <Muirfinn> big plants and large lizards. It's very easy to grow crops and is quite nice really." Muirfinn prattles. "And you? Are you also from Lifasa?"
[20:40] * Ithea continues to talk to Tom while Sylvie tries to engage the turtle man into more conversation. "So why'd everyone settle here of all places?" Ithea asks. "I understand the part about staying out of a prime, but why Marambor?"
[20:44] <Kotono> Sylvie listens along, nodding in the right places.
[20:48] <Muirfinn> "You are? How wonderful. It's been difficult for many of my tribe to acclimate to the nomadic lifestyle. It is good for them that we have found a good home. We may move again if we find the Aurora though. Many of our elders believe it is right that we join them, coming together and bringing more power to their armies."
[20:50] <Kotono> Sylvie listens further, chuckling but saying nothing else. Meanwhile Kascha comes along, opening up her book and starting to write. "Do you have a name for this world you settle don?"
[20:51] * Muirfinn turns to Kascha. "Well, no. Doesn't feel right, does it? We can't name the place if we don't really belong there. Perhaps after a time."
[20:53] <Kotono> "Well, the thing is, i tmay simply be an abadoned or empty region of a Prime Material world," Kascha doesn't look up from her scribblings, "Or they all live underground, or high in the skies, or take a form you can't perceive. It's an interesting puzzle, I come from an entire region - closer to a subcontinent in size - that was like that until a few decades ago."
[20:53] <Kotono> "It sounds nice," Tom says, "Though Earth is growing on me, too."
[20:55] * Muirfinn blinks. "Well, that's something I hadn't thought of. I'll admit we haven't explored more than a few miles in any direction; the local creatures can be quite hostile, it takes a well-armed team to do any scouting."
[20:58] <Kotono> "Oh really?" Kascha keeps going, "You may be a beach-head in an area too wild to be civilized, too, then. Especially if the local monsters are strong." A huge creature of earth stomps past you in the meanwhile, as the tall, dark buildings and dim light leads you on. Tom leads the way, cutting through a narrow alley that you nearl have to walk sideways to get through. Kascha does that
[20:58] <Kotono> while still writing, "Maybe you're even on an undiscovered continent!"
[21:00] <Ithea> "I'd say it'd be surprising to find an undiscovered continent, but given how long Aurora was supposedly hidden, well, anything's possible, I guess," Ithea comments.
[21:05] <Kotono> "It depends on the Prime," Kascha continues scribbling on, "In my world, countries and continents are quite large.
[21:05] <Kotono> "
[21:05] <Muirfinn> "Aha!" Muirfinn crows, "You DO know of Aurora!"
[21:12] * Ithea blinks. "I don't recall ever claiming I didn't, you know. Besides, everyone's heard of how Aurora used to be hidden away. Used to go by another name too, but the people that found it didn't much like the old name."
[21:13] <Kotono> "I don't know," Sylvie says, "It's not like this is a secret at this point, Ithea."
[21:16] <Ithea> "You know, I'm pretty sure we could have kept that joke going until we were headed back if you'd let me," Ithea says with a sigh. "Anyway, we don't just -know- of Aurora, we're -from- there, Muirfinn."
[21:19] <Kotono> "Sorry," Sylvie doesn't look particularly sorry, "I can't lie, remember? The truth has a way of coming out around me."
[21:20] * Muirfinn frowns, looking at Ithea. "Why didn't you just say so in the first place?"
[21:25] <Ithea> "Devil in the room. Even if he's not looking to trouble, no reason not to be cautious. After that, well, that was just me having fun afterwards," Ithea says unapologetically as she shrugs.
[21:26] * Muirfinn cocks his head to the side, thinking. "Well, okay. I can understand that."
[21:29] <Ithea> "That's the spirit!" Ithea says. "You said you and more of your people were interested in joining Aurora though? As warriors, or just to help out in less combat-focused ways?"
[21:32] <Muirfinn> "Everyone can fight, but some are better than others. We have a strong wizard and myself. In all, there are some 49 of us." Muirfinn says.
[21:36] <Ithea> "That's definitely useful," Ithea says. "Well, we can take you back with us and you can contact your people afterwards, though that'll have to wait until we finish our business here."
[21:37] <Ithea> "Tom, I know you said the name Apasa wasn't familiar to you, but we're trying to find more information about him, that's one of the major reasons I came for a visit, honestly," Ithea admits.
[21:38] * Muirfinn nods, following along and listening for a while.
[22:37] <Kotono> "We'll hunt around," Tom says, "We're almost there." 'round another corner you go, and your destination. The next street is brighter lit, several lanterns hanging about. It banishes the gloomy shadows, and the streets are full. Feline-humanoids like Ithea walk about, a buzz of conversation shattering the silence of the Marambor otherwise.
[22:38] <Muirfinn> "Well!" Muirfinn exclaims. "That's a lot of cat people!"
[22:40] <Kotono> Sylvie smiles at this, crossing her arms, "Sharess would be thrilled. If this place doesn't work out, she'd probably welcome your people with open arms."
[22:42] * Ithea laughs. "She probably would," Ithea agrees.
[22:42] <Kotono> "Let's ask around," Tom says, "Apasa, right?"
[22:44] * Ithea nods. "I'd admittedly also want to ask if anybody still feels like continuing the fight for Lifasa, though it looks like you guys have settled well enough, honestly," Ithea admits.
[22:44] <Ithea> roll d20+23 GI
[22:44] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+23 GI and gets 39." [d20=16]
[22:46] <Kotono> OOC: Feel free to aid, anyone.
[22:47] <Kotono> roll 1d20+4 Kascha will
[22:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+4 Kascha will and gets 9." [1d20=5]
[22:47] <Kotono> roll 1d20+18 (+15 inspiration point) Sylvie aids
[22:47] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+18 (+15 inspiration point) Sylvie aids and gets 35." [1d20=17]
[22:48] <Kotono> OOC: Going to aid, Muirfinn?
[22:48] <Ithea> ooc: he should! he has more points than Kascha!
[22:49] <Muirfinn> OOC: oop, got scrolled up somehow. Yeah.
[22:49] <Muirfinn> roll 1d20+21
[22:49] * Hatbot --> "Muirfinn rolls 1d20+21 and gets 34." [1d20=13]
[22:49] <Ithea> ooc: do we need to roll separate GIs for finding volunteers, or the traitor-info/volunteer rolls get lumped together?
[22:51] <Kotono> OOC: For the sake of expediency I'll just lump 'em.
[22:52] <Kotono> Casually talking around, Ithea gets a mixed picture. While many want revenge, some simply want to start a new life. Opinions seem mixed. Tom quietly adds, "Some people vow never to forget, and others want to forget with every ounce of will they can, you see." Searching about, you come to talk to an ancient feline. He reclines in a chair in a communial building, right before a fire. His
[22:52] <Kotono> whiskers droop, face mostly covered in white-gray fur. "Eh, Apasa?" he speaks up, looking at Ithea.
[22:53] <Ithea> "Yes, is that name familiar to you?" Ithea asks.
[22:56] <Kotono> "Mirr knew 'em." The old feline nods, "Go find Mirr, he can tell ya, they grew up together."
[23:00] <Ithea> "Thanks. You know where to find Mirr, Tom?" Ithea asks.
[23:08] <Kotono> "He's usually around here somewhere. He goes out into the restw of the city a lot, makes money trading little things," Tom replies.
[23:09] * Ithea nods again.
[23:10] <Kotono> "We can go find him, but it'll probably take some looking," Tom says, "Up for it, Ithea? Or has wandering along gotten you soft for the hunt?"
[23:11] * Ithea laughs. "If you really want an answer to that, you'll have to join us in the Aurora. But sure, let's try to find him."
[23:15] <Kotono> OOC: Make a GI check again, Ithea?
[23:16] <Ithea> roll d20+23+2 (using ck just to be put to shame by Sylvie's ck)
[23:16] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls d20+23+2 (using ck just to be put to shame by Sylvie's ck) and gets 30." [d20=5]

[23:17] * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+4 Kascha and gets 17." [1d20=13]
[23:25] <Kotono> It takes some talking, but you find out that Mirr is out in the city, at a jeweler's named Brigram. Naturally it's on the other side of the city, so it'll take some walking if you wanna go find him right now.
[23:26] * Muirfinn is all for it.
[23:29] * Ithea walks and walks until they reach their destination!
[23:30] * Muirfinn follows jauntily!

[23:34] <Kotono> OOC: What are your spot/listen scores, as well as any supernatural perceptions, all?
[23:34] <Ithea> ooc: spot +40, listen +40, and I just have darkvision/lowlight.
[23:35] <Kotono> OOC: Muirfinn?
[23:35] <Muirfinn> OOC: Spot +19, Listen +20, Lowlight vision
[23:35] <Muirfinn> OOC: And nature sense, if that helps
[23:37] <Muirfinn> OOC: Nevermind, it doesn't. Forgot what that is
[23:39] <Kotono> The party walks down a narrow street, about 20ft wide. Ahead and behind you elementals pass, the streets dark - and abruptly, the way ahead is blocked!  Two creatures in armor, a sickly yellow shade to the exposed skin. From cracks in the armor you can see maggots, writhing into them and out. Behind you two of the sam eappear, each 10ft away from the party! From behind the ones in the
[23:39] <Kotono> front you can see a towering creature. It has six wings and a humanoid body. Its skin is cracked and burning, as if lava boils beneath. Its wings have no feathers, only bony remnants. In one hand is a blade crackling with green fire. There is another behind you - a towering humanoid thing wearing armor, arms nothing but exposed bone. The featherless, winged creature speaks, its voice
[23:39] <Kotono> full of rage and despair, "The sentence is death! Leave not a one behind!" At that, chaos erupts around you as the battle is joined! OOC: Init; we'll pause here before init and start next time here.

[19:59] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> To your front your way is blocked. Two orthons block it, spears well in reach. Behind you is the same, two more orthons ten feet behind you. Ten foot behind the orthons in front is the fallen angel, and ten foot behind the orthons in back is the skeletal warrior.
[20:00] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Orthons," Sylvie begins tersely, "They're good blockers and have long reach and stop teleportatio-" Her words are interrupted, as the skeletal clutches its chest! Its breastplate dissolves away, showing an utter emptiness! A moment later hideous flames erupt from it, battering all before him! OOC: Reflex saves, Muirfinn'n'Ithea.
[20:00] <Ithea> roll d20+22 evasion

[20:02] <Ithea> While trying to dodge her way around the flames, Ithea exclaims, "Yeah, and they're good at fighting together too and the exploding maggots. Know anything about the skeleton breathing fire on us? I can't pin anything down about that one!"
[20:03] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Death Knight," Sylvie leaps high as the flames blow beneath her! Muirfinn and Ithea dodge as well, ducking and weaving! Kascha is caught partially, wings singed by the unholy flames! "Fires of the damned, hard to wound, doesn't like holy power!" OOC: Orthon 4 is up.
[20:04] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: Ithea, do you have your spear out?

[20:04] <Ithea> "Muirfinn, you said you were a holy man, right?" Ithea asks.
[20:05] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Meanwhile Tom isn't so fast, set ablaze! He screams as his fur catches fire, staggering and falling to his knees! For a moment the air around you ripples and grows heavy, before the orthon strikes, hellspear stabbing out for Ithea's glaive!
[20:06] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d20+33 (+2 cold iron sunder, +1 luck, +2 bull's, +5 gmw) CMD, Ithea?
[20:06] * Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+33 (+2 cold iron sunder, +1 luck, +2 bull's, +5 gmw) CMD, Ithea? and gets 46." [1d20=13]
[20:06] <Muirfinn> "I can do holy, just avert your eyes when I do!" Muirfinn asserts.

[20:12] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The orthon attack sagain adn again, right at Ithea's glaive! One blow pierces into the haft, leaving cracks and a crater behind! It doesn't snap, but it leaves behind considerable damage! OOC: Orthon 1 and Sylvie are up.
[20:12] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The first orthon mindlessly repeats the actions of the first, eyes showing only a maggot filed hate, thoughtless and eternal!
[20:12] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d20+33 (+2 cold iron sunder, +1 luck, +2 bull's, +5 gmw)

[20:18] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Sylvie splits into many images, dancing around as she closes in with the second Orthon and strikes again and again!

[20:20] * Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 2d10+23 and gets 39." [2d10=8, 8]
[20:21] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The rain of blows hits the Orthon all over, armor cracking and bones snapping! It has to take a step back, a deep and rusty hiss as it brings its spear 'round to defend itself! OOC: Fallen Solar.
[20:22] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Pointing ahead, "The only punishment for defiance of Hell's will is oblivion! Your defeat was fated this day, and the only resolution is eternal nothingness!" With that he points, as great bursts of fire erupt all around the party!
[20:22] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d20+22 vs SR for those applicable, note SR if yo uhave it

[20:26] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Again evasion! Sylvie rolls around the flames as Muirfinn grows wetter, quenching the fires around him! Ithea simply ducks under the great bursts, as Kascha cries out as she is burned again! "Aaaah! It hurts," she cries, trying to pat out the flames! Meanwhile Tom screams once more, but a gurgling scream that cuts off into a few soft sobs as he falls face down, then nothing but silence.
[20:26] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: Kascha.
[20:27] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Kascha concentrates from her position, looking ahead at the two orthons ahead of you and the fallen angel! She chants a few words of purity, a great burst of holy energy hammering down from above down at them!
[20:27] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d20+15 vs SR
[20:27] * Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d20+15 vs SR and gets 24." [1d20=9]

[20:31] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The blast of holy power staggers the orthons back a little further, but the endure it well enough! The fallen solar isn't even touched, a look of cold contempt on his face. "Is that your best?" OOC: Ithea ,go.
[20:32] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Around you, the various elementals react - well, you can't read their faces, since they're nothing more than animate piles of earth. But some are moving, and you can hear rugged voices calling out for alarms and the army.
[20:36] <Ithea> "Dammit!" Ithea exclaims in anger, pissed at how this battle is starting off, moving closer to grab the spear off the stunned Orthon now that her own has already been destroyed after only seeing one battle. Hopefully Kascha's attack and the fact that one is stunned keeps them from countering even as she fires a blast at the fallen solar. (ooc: quick cast true casting and ennervation)
[20:36] <Ithea> roll d20+26 SR
[20:36] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "There is no escape!" The Death Knight behind you speaks in a voice of slamming metal and lost regrets, watching with burning eyes.

[20:38] <Ithea> ooc: Wouldn't I just provoke one from Orthon #1? At best from 2 since #3 hasn't even acted?
[20:38] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: They have CR.

[20:40] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Ithea is slashed as she gets a hold of the hellspear, the weapon feeling cold and light in her hand! As she grits her teeth and bleeds, she fires her enervation at the fallen solar! OOC: SR beat, to hit roll.

[20:43] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The black beam fires and hits the solar head on! Its bony wings come out to shield it's body, but the fallen angel is still momentarily stunned by the drain! His eyes blaze with black hatred, as...OOC: Orthon 2 is stunned. Orthon 3 is up, as well as Muirfinn. Go Muirfinn.

[20:45] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The holy fires burn down and slam - but yet, they fizzle against the might of Hell's armies! All that you get back is a horrid, mocking laugh from the Death Knight! Meanwhile the third orthon turns, going to slash out at the wounded Ithea and then the wounded Kascha!

[20:53] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The greasy darkness overtakes the party, gnawing and eroding! It weakens all a little further, "Now..." The fourth orthon says impassively, spear striking out, "I claim this kill!" Its blade slashes out for Kascha!

Blood runs from her mouth, "...sorry..." she gasps, "Get away while..." s he tries further, as her body breaks apart into light! It fades away and the light soars up, leaving behind her equipment onto the ground! OOC: Ow. Orthon 1 and Sylvie.

[20:58] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Dammit!" Sylvie glowers, "Suppose there's no time to do this the right way." Shaking her head, Sylvie holds her hands out! A great tome appears in her hands, as she opens it up!

[21:00] * Ithea grits her teeth, hoping nobody else falls, and focusing on the orthons. If they're gone, at least they have a better chance of fleeing.
[21:02] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The blast of light washes over the evil before the party! The first orthon has its flesh dissolved, a half revealed skeleton clinging ot life! The second orthon throbs - you see the image of a barbazu, a lemure, a cornugon, a pit fiend all in the same place as it, before it explodes out in a burst of light! Meanwhile the solar screams and is knocked back 20ft, holding its face! Still
[21:02] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> clinging to life desperately, the first orthon attacks the source of its woe - Sylvie!

[21:05] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> It swings in desperate fury, but misses again and again, only destroying phantasms! Meanwhile the fallen solar looks up, skull revealed! Its flesh is utterly flayed away on its face, eyeballs dangling out of its skull, attached to retinal nerves like rocks attached to bits of string. A hand goes to its face, wounds healing! OOC: It spent a round healing itself. Go Ithea.
[21:07] <Ithea> As planned, Ithea lays out all of her attacks on the orthons, doing her best to finish off the near dead orthon and then turning to attack the other two as well, channeling arcane energy through the unfamiliar weapon and the power of Renbuu's blessing through herself.

[21:13] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Under pure rage as the energies of chaos swirl around her, Ithea strikes and slashes! The hellspear is fast, claiming the head of the first orthon in one massive slash! This one simply shows the image of a lemure and a barbazu before dissolving away utterly, leaving behind only its spear! The third and fourth are slashed into deeply as well, ripped wide open! The stolen life energy fill
[21:13] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> sIthea's body, bolstering her stronger! OOC: Orthon 3 and Muirfinn. Go Murifinn.

[21:16] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The orthons are battered further, the holy power of the flames enough to scorch them!

[21:24] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The Orthon continues to slash, but can't seem to land a blow! Meanwhile Sylvie steps ahead, towards the fallen! She holds 21 in hand, intoning the same words as before! Like the fist of a raging god, light comes to obliterate the fallen!

[21:25] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The fallen solar is slammed by the light of 21 again, sent flying back like a ragdoll! He soars back a good 20ft again, landing in a half gone, eroded heap! Hunks of flesh dissolve from his body, his wings all gone save for stubs! OOC: Ow. Fallen is up.
[21:26] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The fallen rises, empty handed and sword nowhere in sight. It wobbles and glares with an intact face this time, "You only delay the fated hour!" he declares, before vanishing! OOC: Ithea.

[21:32] * Hatbot --> "Ithea rolls 4d6+18+18+8d4+8d6 vs o4 and gets 91." [4d6=2, 4, 5, 4][8d4=1, 1, 3, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1][8d6=2, 1, 6, 3, 4, 1, 4, 3]
[21:32] * Infinite_Ko_Loop changes topic to 'Armored Skeleton(28)>Sylvie(19; 8 images)>Ithea(15)>Muirfinn(11)'
[21:33] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> In her fury, Ithea barely feels anything. The burnt and bloodied orthons are nothing to her, cut apart in great sweeping slices! Her blade-lined spear is able to cut well, severing the last two orthons apart! These two die more conventually, falling over and vanishing, hordes of maggots erupting out around them! They crawl over Muirfinn and Ithea, gnawing away!
[21:33] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 2d6+2d6 both of you, dr applies if you have it.
[21:33] * Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 2d6+2d6 both of you, dr applies if you have it. and gets 21." [2d6=6, 6][2d6=3, 6]
[21:33] <Muirfinn> OOC: Alas, no DR
[21:34] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The maggots bite and chew, ripping into the heroes! OOC: Muirfinn, go. Death Knight is the only lingering foe.
[21:36] * Muirfinn points at the knight, shouting a word of power as massive javelins erupt from his hand to strike at the undead foe! OOC: Empowered Splinterbolt, DR applies. No SR
[21:37] <Muirfinn> roll 3#1d20+20 ranged touch
[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Muirfinn rolls 3#1d20+20 ranged touch and gets 89." [3#1d20+20 = 31, 25, 33]
[21:37] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> OOC: all hit.
[21:37] <Muirfinn> roll 3#4d6*1.5
[21:37] * Hatbot --> "Muirfinn rolls 3#4d6*1.5 and gets 60." [3#4d6*1.5 = 16.5, 28.5, 15]
[21:38] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The shards slam into the Death Knight! The figure of undead life staggers back and falls, skeletal body growing still! OOC: Free act.

[21:39] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Sylvie looks back over her shoulder, "Gather the plunder," she calls, going ahead a bit, "We need to decide if we're staying here or making a break for it before the local authorities get involved."
[21:40] * Muirfinn sighs, relaxing. "I can speak with them if necessary. I am sorry about your friend. Do not fear for her, however. I have seen such discorporation before in elementals. She has returneed to her home plane, hale and whole."
[21:41] * Ithea casts see invisibility just on the off chance that solar hadn't actually teleported and was just invisible. Her eyes go to where Kascha and Tom stood before all this, and her grip tightens around the cracked hellspear. "Dammit, this is my fault..." she mutters as she looks around. If there is nothing in sight, she'll do as Sylvie said and grab what she can.
[21:42] <Muirfinn> "We should bring your friend, at least to give him a proper funeral." Muirfinn says, reaching down to lift the cat-man into his arms.
[21:44] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> There's nothing in sight. Meanwhile you are able to gather four hellspears, two maggot covered sets of full plate from the orthons, the death knight's armor, a ring from the death knight and a helmet from the death knight. Sylvie comes back your way with a greatsword, crackling with green fire. "The solar's," she says simply, "He lost it in the last blast from 21."
[21:45] * Ithea nods. "I'll try to see if the Jarl can't revive him. If Tom's willing to come back, I should give him that chance for getting him involved," Ithea says looking depressed now that there's nothing left to hit.
[21:48] * Ithea grimaces as she realizes that's going to be a bit harder with Kascha not around to teleport them back. "...we're going to have to find another way back," she mutters.
[21:49] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "I can get us back," Sylvie says as she drags the sword along, "I can plane shift us back ,then teleport us to Aurora."
[21:53] <Muirfinn> "Do you two wish to continue on then?"
[21:55] <Ithea> "That'll work. I'd say yes, Muirfinn, but carrying around Tom's body is going to cause us problems around here, and I don't want to abandon him," Ithea says. "It might be better to stop by Aurora first, let the others know what happened and then come back and find Mirr."
[21:56] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> "Right," Sylvie nods, and in a lower voice, "Before the authorities can 'detain' any of th emagical equipment as part of the investigation. I've seen it happen before."
[21:58] <Muirfinn> "Indeed. Perhaps we can purify the evil from it at a later time." The tortle nods.
[21:59] * Ithea doesn't add anything more, just holding the equipment she gathered up, and waiting for Sylvie to plane shift them.
[21:59] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 5d100
[21:59] * Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 5d100 and gets 217." [5d100=22, 59, 8, 92, 36]
[22:00] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> The foursome appear in Air. Carrying bodies and gear, they float in the endless expanses of it. Afte ra moment Sylvie chants again!
[22:00] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> roll 1d100
[22:00] * Hatbot --> "Infinite_Ko_Loop rolls 1d100 and gets 31." [1d100=31]
[22:00] <Infinite_Ko_Loop> Aurora. You appear just outside, Sylvie silently heading inside...
