#041: Meanwhile the dragon stares, uttering a phrase deadpan, "Well shit".

[Soul]

(6:29) <Kotono> ----
(6:32) <Kotono> OOC: Okay, y'all just cleaned out the apothecary and Morrie went back to drop items off in the wagon. As of right now, you're standing in the misty room y'all came down in. There's doors to the south, east and north. You've opened the door to the south while the other two doors are unopened. The door to the south leads to a hallway with a sinkhole that you haven't explored and past it is the
(6:32) <Kotono> apothecary and a dead end.
(6:32) <Kotono> OOC: Ball's in your court, so ahead and do what you wish to do.
(6:32) <Lehko> "East? Or down the hole?"
(6:32) <Morrie> "We may as well explore the rest of this floor." He says, indicating to go back the other way they came.
(6:32) <Mycol> "I
(6:33) <Mycol> 'm with Morrie"
(6:33) <Mycol> "It takes his magic to explore downward. We should be systematic."
(6:33) <Kotono> OOC: Y'all are already in the starting room, so you're back where you came.
(6:33) <Lehko> "East!"
(6:33) * Lehko points East and heads to the door!
(6:33) <Penelo> "East sounds fine, kupo!"
(6:34) <Mycol> "Sounds good"
(6:34) * Lehko inspects the door for laser-death-traps.
(6:34) <Kotono> The door is there. It's closed and just waiting for someone to finally open it. OOC: Make a check, Lehko.
(6:34) <Lehko> roll 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps!
(6:34) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps! and gets 15." [2d6=2, 4]
(6:35) <Kotono> The door doesn't seem trapped.
(6:35) * Lehko opens the door!
(6:36) * Mycol stands at the ready for monsters
(6:36) * Penelo is doing the same as Mycol, considering how nice and quaint the southern door was.
(6:36) * Topic is 'Myann(20(broken leg))>Gildas(19)>John(18)>Tumor(17)>Feather=Guide(11)'
(6:36) * Set by Kotono on Mon Nov 04 13:48:44
(6:36) <Kotono> Past the door is a large room. It's empty and misty, the mist a little thicker ahead. There's two doors on the far eastern wall, one closer to the northeast and one closer to the southeast.
(6:37) <Mycol> "Mist?"
(6:37) * Penelo hrms.
(6:37) <Kotono> Ebenezer peers ahead, "This is an odd mist," he remarks, "Below ground only, I wonder what magic is causing it?"
(6:38) * Mycol tentatively sticks a stubby arm that way.
(6:38) <Morrie> "There seems to be a lot of it down here." He comments. "Perhaps it is Catoblepas. Let us try that door." He indicates the northeastern door!
(6:38) <Kotono> Mycol sticks one 'shroom arm out. Nothing seems to happen, thankfully.
(6:38) <Mycol> "It's actually kind of pleasant"
(6:38) * Lehko inspects the northeastern door!
(6:38) * Mycol will follow Lehko, humming softly.
(6:39) <Kotono> OOC: Make another check.
(6:39) <Lehko> roll 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps!
(6:39) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps! and gets 15." [2d6=1, 5]
(6:39) <Kotono> This door's trapped. Monsters will spring out the moment you open it.
(6:40) <Lehko> "Traps. Some kind of attack trigger... Be ready just incase I can't disarm it..."
(6:40) * Lehko gets to work disarming it...
(6:40) <Lehko> roll 2d6+9 Tinkering: Disarm!
(6:40) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+9 Tinkering: Disarm! and gets 16." [2d6=3, 4]
(6:42) <Kotono> Working with it, you realize that while you can disarm the immediate trap and do so, there's still monsters on the other side, just waiting to attack once they see something.  This might slow them down a bit, at least.
(6:43) <Lehko> "I disabled the signal, but the monsters are still about. We can set up a counter ambush, I think..."
(6:43) * Lehko turns to the others.
(6:44) <Morrie> "All right." He nods. "Let's be ready, then."
(6:44) <Santos> "Sure, works for me," Santos says, grinning fiercely. "I can do stealthy."
(6:44) <Santos> roll 2d6+4 stealth
(6:44) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls 2d6+4 stealth and gets 13." [2d6=3, 6]
(6:44) <Lehko> "I can throw the door open and stand behind it, using it as cover, while you four fire into the next room. Basically, you four prepare your attacks, and on your signal, I open the door and you fire through. Sound good?"
(6:44) <Mycol> "Wait"
(6:45) <Mycol> "I can push the door open with telekinesis, and we can -all- stand back"
(6:45) <Lehko> "Hmm, can you do that and ready an attack spell at the same time, though?
(6:45) <Lehko> "
(6:45) <Mycol> "You might have to attack for me, but we can all stay at range"
(6:45) * Lehko shrugs.
(6:45) <Penelo> "It is the safer option."
(6:46) <Lehko> "If that's what you all want, that's fine."
(6:46) * Lehko unholsters his massive revolvers and takes position with the others, ready to fire into the next room.
(6:47) <Mycol> "Are we ready?"
(6:47) <Kotono> OOC: How far do all of y'all intend to be back?
(6:47) * Penelo will move back to a farther back position, still in range to attack anything on the immediate side of the door!
(6:47) <Morrie> OOC: Medium range from the door.
(6:47) <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
(6:48) <Kotono> OOC: If y'all are ready, go for it.
(6:48) * Lehko nods his readiness.
(6:48) <Lehko> "Do it, Mycol."
(6:48) * Mycol takes a breath and throws open the door
(6:49) * Lehko fires as soon as the door is open!
(6:49) <Kotono> The door is thrown open (pulled, not pushed, incidentally)! Beyond is another room, but you hardly havea  chance to notice. Ahead are two hydras, a moment of shock as they stare! OOC: Surprise round. Mycol's tied up opening the door and y'all are at medium range. I'll direct you one at a time. Go Santos, you can open.
(6:50) * Santos shoots one of the hydras in the chest. It seems like a good idea!
(6:50) <Santos> roll 2d6+5
(6:50) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls 2d6+5 and gets 10." [2d6=3, 2]
(6:50) <Santos> roll d6 reroll 2
(6:50) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls d6 reroll 2 and gets 6." [d6=6]
(6:50) <Kotono> OOC: Gonna reroll the three?
(6:50) <Santos> ooc: no
(6:50) <Kotono> OOC: Hit. Damage.
(6:50) <Santos> ooc: 126 damage, spellburst virus
(6:51) * Kotono changes topic to 'Morrie: 148/148 Santos: 105/105 Lehko: 114/114 Penelo: 76/76 Mycol 105/105'
(6:51) <Kotono> BANG! A clear shot rings out, ripping the chest of the first hydra apart! It's too far away to counter or react at all, much of its mid-body torn apart! OOC: Ow. Next up is Morrie. Go Morrie.
(6:52) <Morrie> Morrie summons the winds of the plains to strike down the Hydra that Santos shot!
(6:52) <Morrie> roll 2d6+3
(6:52) * Hatbot --> "Morrie rolls 2d6+3 and gets 10." [2d6=4, 3]
(6:52) <Kotono> But the hydra is a hair too fast, ducking the razor winds as it reels from the bullet shot! OOC: +3 AVD is in effect this session, y'all, remember. Lehko, go.
(6:53) * Lehko unleashes rounds from both pistols!
(6:53) <Lehko> roll 2d6+3 ATK
(6:53) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+3 ATK and gets 7." [2d6=3, 1]
(6:53) <Kotono> OOC: I assum ethe one will see a reroll.
(6:53) <Lehko> roll d6 reroll 1
(6:53) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls d6 reroll 1 and gets 1." [d6=1]
(6:53) <Santos> ooc: should have rerolled the 3 for that
(6:53) <Kotono> Bullets fly, overhead of both hydras and missing entirely! OOC: Rotten luck. Penleo.
(6:54) <Penelo> OOC: Do I have to spend a quick cast?
(6:55) <Kotono> OOC: Yes, though you can spend the surprise round charging if you lik.e
(6:56) * Penelo will go ahead and use a quick cast to charge a Blizzara on both of the Hydras!
(6:56) <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Damage?
(6:56) <Penelo> Roll: 2d6+90: (1+4=5) + 90 = 95
(6:56) <Kotono> OOC: Use Hatbot.
(6:57) <Penelo> OOC: sorry I meant to type just roll
(6:57) <Penelo> roll 2d6+90
(6:57) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+90 and gets 93." [2d6=2, 1]
(6:57) <Penelo> OOC: It's /roll for me, that was an oops.
(6:57) <Kotono> roll 3#1d100
(6:57) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3#1d100 and gets 187." [3#1d100 = 85, 5, 97]
(7:01) <Kotono> Ice comes forth, ravaging two hydras! The first disspates nito gil, leaving a sheathed sword beyond! The other is reeling, hit hard! OOC: Init.
(7:01) * Kotono changes topic to 'Morrie: 148/148 Santos: 105/105 Lehko: 114/114 Penelo: 76/76 Mycol 105/105 | Helper(0)'
(7:01) <Santos> roll 2d6+3 init
(7:01) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls 2d6+3 init and gets 13." [2d6=5, 5]
(7:01) <Morrie> roll 2d6+4 init
(7:01) * Hatbot --> "Morrie rolls 2d6+4 init and gets 8." [2d6=1, 3]
(7:01) <Lehko> roll 2d6+6 Init
(7:01) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+6 Init and gets 11." [2d6=4, 1]
(7:02) <Lehko> roll 2d6+2 Wolf Init
(7:02) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+2 Wolf Init and gets 6." [2d6=2, 2]
(7:02) <Mycol> 2d6+4
(7:02) * Hatbot --> "Mycol rolls 2d6+4 and gets 11." [2d6=6, 1]
(7:02) <Penelo> roll 2d6+4 init
(7:02) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+4 init and gets 7." [2d6=2, 1]
(7:03) <Kotono> roll 2d6+1 hydra 2
(7:03) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+1 hydra 2 and gets 6." [2d6=1, 4]
(7:03) * Kotono changes topic to 'Morrie: 148/148 Santos: 105/105 Lehko: 114/114 Penelo: 76/76 Mycol 105/105 | Santos(13)>Lehko=Mycol(11)>Morrie(8)>Penelo(7)>Wolf>Hydra 2(6)>Helper(0)'
(7:04) <Kotono> OOC: Open Sanots.
(7:04) * Santos continues to keep his distance, firing more shots off, this time into the body of the remaining hydra.
(7:04) <Santos> roll 2d6+5
(7:04) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls 2d6+5 and gets 11." [2d6=4, 2]
(7:04) <Santos> roll d6 reroll 2
(7:04) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls d6 reroll 2 and gets 5." [d6=5]
(7:04) <Santos> ooc: 63 dmg
(7:04) <Kotono> OOC: Hit. What's the damage?
(7:04) <Kotono> Ice and then another gunshot ravages the second hydra. It falls back and slumps over, barely moving afte rthe shot! It looks in a bad way! OOC: Owwies, this is a massacre. Lehko.
(7:05) <Kotono> "My goodness, get them before they get close again!" Ebenezer calls, "Those bites hurt!"
(7:05) <Penelo> "That is why I am not holding back on these, kupo!"
(7:05) * Lehko triggers the Quick Cast provided to him by his pistol and slings out a Dia at the remaining monster!
(7:06) <Kotono> OOC: Damage?
(7:06) <Lehko> roll 2d6+24 Holy Damage
(7:06) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+24 Holy Damage and gets 30." [2d6=1, 5]
(7:07) <Kotono> Cold, holy light shines from above! It makes the hydra slump over even more, heads nearly on the ground. It looks like it's about ready to just die. OOC: Mycol.
(7:08) * Mycol shrugs, will throw his Maracas at beast with telekinesis.
(7:08) <Mycol> 2d6+2
(7:08) * Hatbot --> "Mycol rolls 2d6+2 and gets 4." [2d6=1, 1]
(7:08) <Mycol> OOC: fff
(7:08) <Penelo> OOC: Give Iddy back his die.
(7:08) <Kotono> Maracas go flying, but hit the wall and don't even reach the door, telekinesis wildly off! OOC: No kidding, Iddyluck spreads. Morrie.
(7:09) <Morrie> Morrie calls on the power of the winds to strike down the Hydra!
(7:10) <Morrie> roll 2d6+3
(7:10) * Hatbot --> "Morrie rolls 2d6+3 and gets 11." [2d6=6, 2]
(7:11) <Kotono> The blast is well aimed, but the hydra's lying so low that the winds go over him entirely! OOC: That's one's all on the +3 ADV sicne base hydra AVD is 9. Penelo.
(7:11) * Penelo will go to quickly strike with blizzard!
(7:11) <Penelo> roll 2d6+90
(7:11) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+90 and gets 95." [2d6=4, 1]
(7:11) <Kotono> roll 3#1d100 Yeah, it was already in bad shape
(7:11) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 3#1d100 Yeah, it was already in bad shape and gets 164." [3#1d100 = 85, 34, 45]
(7:12) <Kotono> Anothe rblast of ice shreds the hydra, leaving behind a cloud of frosty gil! Got them! Victory! OOC: Loot. Feel free to go explore the next room.
(7:12) * Lehko stands, pistols still held up at the ready and enters the room, making sure it's clear.
(7:12) <Morrie> Morrie leans down and hoists the blade up, looking over at Santos. "You think you might want to use this?"
(7:14) <Santos> "Sure. I may switch between all of these weapons, it's not a bad blade, but I admit to being partial to my own crafted weapons. For undead though? Oh yes, that's getting used..." Santos admits.
(7:14) <Kotono> The room ahead is fairly small. It's a dead end with two treasure chests sitting in the back.
(7:14) <Kotono> OOC: Post if you're claiming th esword, Merc.
(7:16) <Kotono> Ebenezer walks up and peers ahead, "How odd, just two treasures with such powerful guards? They must be rich ones."
(7:16) <Morrie> "Lehko, would you mind?" He nods to the chests. "I doubt there are even more traps, but you never know."
(7:16) * Lehko approaches the chests warily, looking for traps....
(7:17) <Lehko> roll 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps, chest 1
(7:17) <Lehko> roll 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps, chest 1
(7:17) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps, chest 1 and gets 13." [2d6=1, 3]
(7:17) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps, chest 1 and gets 16." [2d6=3, 4]
(7:17) <Lehko> OOC: Bah.
(7:17) <Kotono> The chests do not seem to bet rapped.
(7:17) <Lehko> "No traps, it looks like.."
(7:17) * Lehko opens them..
(7:17) <Kotono> Within the chests are...OOC: Loot.
(7:18) * Lehko tosses the bags of gil to Morrie.
(7:18) <Lehko> "Well, Jessica will enjoy that, at least."
(7:19) <Morrie> "...Seems awfully underwhelming for monsters to guard it." He says, pocketing the money. "Shall we look in the other door?"
(7:19) * Lehko nods and heads to the other door.
(7:19) <Kotono> There's a woosh of fire as Ifrit appears on Santos's shoulder. "Catoplebas isn't the best for sensing that. He has a lot of things, but not always where you'd expect. As someone who's designed his own dungeons before, it's really unbecoming. It makes me want to kick his ass!"
(7:20) <Kotono> The other door is there. It's unopened, as unopened doors tend to be.
(7:20) <Penelo> "I hope this isn't his horde of gold we were told about, kupo!" Penelo comments as they head to the other door.
(7:20) * Lehko looks over the door for more traps!
(7:20) <Lehko> roll 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps
(7:20) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps and gets 19." [2d6=5, 5]
(7:20) <Kotono> The door's not trapped.
(7:21) * Lehko throws open the door with gusto!
(7:22) <Kotono> Within is another small room. There's a narrow stairway going down in the middle of the room and past it is another door. The mist grows thicker around that door, making it difficult to see details.
(7:23) <Lehko> "Hmm.. Down or back to that other door in the main room?"
(7:24) <Penelo> "Can they sense anything about Catoplebas?"
(7:25) <Morrie> He indicates the door in front of them. "Why not this one?"
(7:26) <Lehko> "Sure!"
(7:26) * Lehko heads to the door!
(7:26) * Lehko checks the door over, as usual.
(7:26) <Lehko> roll 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps
(7:26) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+9 Tinkering: Traps and gets 14." [2d6=4, 1]
(7:27) <Kotono> The door's not trapped.
(7:27) * Lehko throws open the door!
(7:27) <Kotono> Ahead is mist. It's too thick to see ahead. It's thicker than cheese soup and twice as impenetrable!
(7:28) <Lehko> "Morrie, can you make some wind to deal with this crap?"
(7:28) <Penelo> "This place seems to be dangerous, kupo. Is there a way to move this mist?" Penelo will say as she tries to sense magic.
(7:29) <Kotono> OOC: Make a check, Penelo.
(7:30) <Morrie> He waits on Penelo, but comments as he does. "This isn't natural, whatever it is."
(7:30) <Penelo> roll 2d6+5 magic
(7:30) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+5 magic  and gets 9." [2d6=2, 2]
(7:32) <Kotono> Penelo can sense...something. It's powerful but she can't really understand it.
(7:32) <Kotono> roll 2d6+5 ???
(7:32) <Morrie> OOC: Can I try a L:E?
(7:32) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+5 ??? and gets 11." [2d6=4, 2]
(7:32) <Kotono> OOC: Sure.
(7:32) * Penelo shakes her head "I can't make heads or tails of what is going on here. Something powerful is causing this."
(7:32) <Morrie> roll 2d6+2
(7:33) * Hatbot --> "Morrie rolls 2d6+2  and gets 10." [2d6=5, 3]
(7:34) <Kotono> Morrie can't recall any relevant lore here, unfortunately.
(7:34) <Kotono> OOC: Make awareness checks, y'all.
(7:34) <Santos> roll 2d6+4
(7:34) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls 2d6+4 and gets 13." [2d6=4, 5]
(7:35) <Lehko> roll 2d6+9 Awareness
(7:35) * Hatbot --> "Lehko rolls 2d6+9 Awareness and gets 18." [2d6=5, 4]
(7:35) <Mycol> 2d6
(7:35) * Hatbot --> "Mycol rolls 2d6 and gets 12." [2d6=6, 6]
(7:36) <Penelo> roll 2d6+3 aware?
(7:36) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+3 aware? and gets 9." [2d6=2, 4]
(7:37) <Morrie> roll 2d6+4 Awareness
(7:37) * Hatbot --> "Morrie rolls 2d6+4 Awareness and gets 12." [2d6=6, 2]
(7:37) <Kotono> The party, save Penelo, can hear footsteps back the way you came.
(7:38) * Lehko turns to look back towards the door...
(7:39) * Lehko raises his pistols and waits...
(7:39) * Penelo still looking at the mist curiously.
(7:40) <Kotono> The party turns back and time to see them pouring into the previous room. Swamp imps! Four of them, coming right at the party! They're at medium range, pointing at them and charging! OOC: Init. It seems there's trouble in paradise.
(7:40) <Santos> roll 2d6+3 init
(7:40) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls 2d6+3 init and gets 8." [2d6=3, 2]
(7:40) <Mycol> 2d6+4

(7:43) <Santos> roll 2d6+5
(7:43) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls 2d6+5 and gets 14." [2d6=4, 5]

(7:44) <Santos> ooc: 126 dmg, virus
(7:44) <Kotono> Before anyone can react, the first imp takes a bullet in the shoulder! It tears most of it's arm away, the creature stumbling to within close range! Then...OOC: Lehko.

(7:46) <Kotono> Already wounded, the imp dies under Lehko's blazing guns. Got it! It's now gil, in a far better state for the party. OOC: Penelo.
(7:47) * Penelo since it's imps, she only knows one thing to do! that's quick casting a blizzard on all three remaining ones!
(7:47) <Penelo> roll 2d6+90 blizzzaaaard
(7:47) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+90 blizzzaaaard and gets 100." [2d6=6, 4]
(7:48) <Kotono> The imps are terrifically blasted by the ice, frozen over and slumping one nada ll! The three survivors don't look good, even as the fourth stumbles to within close range! OOC: Mycol.
(7:48) <Penelo> OOC: 150 total since they're vulnerable, right?
(7:48) <Penelo> OOC: Or am I off on that.
(7:49) <Kotono> OOC: Before magic defense.
(7:49) * Mycol will follow up his friends' barrage with one of his own, albeit, a smaller one
(7:49) * Mycol quickcasts fire
(7:50) <Kotono> OOC: No need to roll, they have 2 HP left each.

(7:50) <Kotono> Under blasts of raw elemental might, the imps are vaporized! Got 'em! OOC: Loot and free act.
(7:51) <Penelo> "That startled me, kupo."
(7:51) <Santos> "Really? They were just imps..."
(7:53) <Kotono> "How strange. Where'd they come from?" Ebenezer ponders, "Perhaps the sinkhole earlier?"
(7:53) <Penelo> "The mist is unnerving me."
(7:56) <Penelo> "It is likely, or we overlooked something."
(7:56) <Kotono> OOC: Is anyone doing anything, or are you just gonna talk awhile, y'all?
(7:56) <Penelo> OOC: Talking unless Morrie tries to wind the mist.
(7:56) <Morrie> He nods and tries to call on the wind to disperse the mist!
(7:57) <Kotono> OOC: Make a force check.
(7:58) <Morrie> roll 2d6+5 Force
(7:58) * Hatbot --> "Morrie rolls 2d6+5 Force and gets 17." [2d6=6, 6]
(7:58) <Morrie> OOC: Well hot damn
(7:59) <Kotono> Morrie calls on the winds! They come as a hurricane, filling the room ahead! They shred the mist into nothingness, strange, unearhtly cries coming from within. Distorted voices that fade along with the mist! Within the room  is emptiness, save for two treasure chests. They sit in the back, undisturbed.
(8:00) * Mycol looks around, dumbfounded.
(8:01) * Penelo moves to stand behind someone bigger than her.
(8:01) <Morrie> "Well... that was unexpected." He says and glances to Lehko. "Do you mind again?"
(8:02) <Kotono> OOC: Lehko's away a sec. Someone roll for him.
(8:02) <Penelo> OOC: Sure.
(8:03) <Penelo> Lehko will move to check the chests for traps.
(8:03) <Penelo> roll 2d6+9 Tinkering Traps
(8:03) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+9 Tinkering Traps and gets 19." [2d6=6, 4]
(8:03) <Penelo> roll 2d6+9 Tinkering Traps
(8:03) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+9 Tinkering Traps and gets 18." [2d6=5, 4]
(8:04) <Kotono> As Lehko checks the chests - not trapped - a voice in Swamp Imp calls, understood only by Mycol and Penelo, "You there! All of you big ones!" Standing behind you, way back in the in the room amid the gil of the defeated batch of imps, is another swamp imp. "Halt!"
(8:04) <Mycol> "What is it?"
(8:05) <Penelo> "Yes?"
(8:07) <Kotono> "I a messenger of the great dragon Suell." He announces, "I bear a message and I would remind you," Kicking at the gil, "Not to shoot the messenger."
(8:07) <Mycol> "Most of the others came with a distinctly different message"
(8:09) <Kotono> "It seems you're strong," It agrees, "Aaaand the ochos down the other way weren't nice," it grumbles, "Ahem! The GREAT DRAGON Suell has taken the floating wagon! He demands a ransom of 10,000 gil for its return!"
(8:11) <Penelo> "The dragon abducted our wagon, kupo!" She translated for the others. "He demands 10,000 gil for its return!"
(8:11) <Mycol> "Just a wagon?"
(8:13) <Morrie> He frowns. "Tell him we'll pay it." He shakes his head. "I don't think we really will... but tell him that."
(8:14) <Kotono> "That's not good! Our treasures and transportation!" Ebenezer frets, "We do need to get it back, and Jessica too."
(8:14) <Penelo> "We do not know if Jessica was on the wagon, kupo. She could be safe." Talking to Ebenezer, not in swamp imp.
(8:14) <Morrie> "I have no intention of bartering with that dragon. We gave him a chance to leave us alone and this is how he repays us? I'm not one to let something like that slide."
(8:15) <Penelo> "But I agree, we need to get it back."
(8:15) <Morrie> He shakes his head again, but nods to Penelo. "Just tell him we'll pay it and what to do."
(8:15) <Penelo> She turns to the Swamp Imp. "We will pay the ransom."
(8:15) <Kotono> "Good!" Perking up and exhaling, "Where's the ransom?"
(8:15) <Penelo> "We will take it to the dragon ourselves and make sure our wagon is safe."
(8:16) <Kotono> "Come with me," The imp instructs, turning and walking back the way you came.
(8:17) <Kotono> OOC: Going to follow, y'all?
(8:17) <Penelo> "Come, the imp will lead us, kupo." She calls to the others, walking with and taking out a cookie to eat. (OOC: MP Restore. I'll post it.)
(8:17) <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
(8:19) * Santos follows the imp.
(8:20) <Penelo> Lehko will follow.
(8:20) <Kotono> The party is lead back outside. The final door tothe north is opened, a few swamp imps gathering up gil. You're lead back up to the surface level and to the edge of the island. There's no sign of the wagon, only about a half dozen swamp imps waiting around. The messenger turns, "He'll be back to see you shortly," he says. "Just wait."
(8:23) <Penelo> Penelo looks a little apprehensively at the group of imps.
(8:27) <Morrie> Morrie looks at Penelo. "You know what to do, right?"
(8:27) <Mycol> "Mn"
(8:27) * Santos gives a mental note to Ifrit to be ready to come out as soon as the damn dragon shows up, so they can show it what they think of being blackmailed with their own loot. (OOC: readying action to summon, -1 destiny)
(8:28) <Kotono> OOC: Okay, don't post the expenditure until you actually transform.
(8:29) <Kotono> OOC: Santos wants Ifrit ready. Okay. What about ther est of you? Declare what you're preparing.
(8:29) <Penelo> OOC: Penelo will prepare an AoE Blizzara.
(8:29) <Mycol> OOC: Quickening
(8:30) <Kotono> OOC: Okay, Penelo has blizzara prepared, mycol a quickening. What about Morrie and Lehko?
(8:30) * Lehko calls upon Lady Shiva to be summoned and battle the foe! OOC: readying action to summon, -1 Destiny)
(8:31) <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Morrie?
(8:32) <Morrie> OOC: Um... good question.
(8:32) <Morrie> OOC: I'll summon too.
(8:33) <Kotono> OOC: Okay.
(8:33) <Kotono> roll 2d6+3 imps awareness it's not like they may notice y'all doing something.
(8:33) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+3 imps awareness it's not like they may notice y'all doing something. and gets 12." [2d6=3, 6]
(8:35) <Kotono> As the party prepares, one of the imps says in its language, "Hey, what are they all doing?" You have six set of imp eyes on the party now, the messager saying, "Um, what ARE you doing? Feels funny, like magic. Strong magic."
(8:37) <Santos> "Oh, it's nothing, it's just anticipation to see such a magnificent dragon! Our bodies are just sparkling because of it!" Santos lies, something spending a lot of effort into his lies. (OOC: going to spend some destiny to boost my bad acting, since I have 1 for that. And because I think it'd be funny)
(8:37) <Santos> roll 2d6+1
(8:37) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls 2d6+1 and gets 6." [2d6=1, 4]

(8:37) <Santos> ooc: there we go
(8:37) <Santos> ooc: Screw you Hatbot~
(8:38) <Penelo> OOC: ... Geez.
(8:38) <Santos> ooc: No 1s for Iddy this time!
(8:38) <Mycol> OOC: five destiny on a lie? I... I love you.
(8:38) <Kotono> OOC: The imps aren't that stupid and nor is the messenger, since he saw what you did to a bunch of others. A 17 still doesn't pass. Feel free to ad more, though.
(8:38) <Santos> roll d6 Sure why not~!
(8:38) * Hatbot --> "Santos rolls d6 Sure why not~! and gets 3." [d6=3]
(8:39) <Kotono> OOC: 20 does do it, however.
(8:39) <Penelo> OOC: I feel jealous I don't have that many destiny to even throw away.
(8:39) <Kotono> "Oh," The imp nods, "That makes perfect sense." They nod to each other and og back to waiting, paying the party no mind at all.
(8:40) * Santos smiles charmingly at the rest of the group.
(8:40) * Lehko stares at Santos flatly.
(8:40) <Lehko> "I can't even imagine the look on Shiva's face right now."
(8:41) * Mycol shakes his head.
(8:41) <Santos> "She's clearly jealous of how much awe we have for dragons."
(8:41) <Mycol> "That almost convinced me," he mutters softly
(8:41) <Kotono> As the party chats, the shadow from above returns. The dragon is approaching, at long range right now. But it's flying back, imperiously gazing at everything below. OOC: Act or hold for it to get closer as you please.
(8:42) <Penelo> "We should see if the dragon has the wagon, kupo."
(8:43) <Santos> ooc: I'll hold until it's closer. I want Ifrit to be able to grab him and pull out his heart~
(8:43) <Morrie> OOC: Holding too.
(8:43) <Lehko> OOC: Holding.
(8:45) <Mycol> OOC: Ditto
(8:45) <Kotono> The dragon flies closer, into medium range. It's descending, wagon in claws. The imps turn to stare at it, respectfully bowing. OOC: Act or hold.
(8:46) <Morrie> OOC: Holding, I think?
(8:46) <Penelo> OOC: Can they see if Jessica is in it?
(8:47) <Kotono> OOC: Holding? Okay. You can't see her in it. She could be inside, though.
(8:49) <Kotono> The dragon lands before you, in the waters. The wagon is placed behind it, hidden by its bulk. "I see you've come to your senses," he declares.
(8:49) <Santos> ooc: Is it still medium range, or close now?
(8:50) <Kotono> OOC: CLose range now.
(8:50) <Santos> "Yes, yes we did," Santos says flatly, as he unleashes his inner fire and transforms! Ifrit is the one that smiles toothily as he pounds his fists together. "...we most certainly did."
(8:50) * Santos is now known as Ifrit
(8:51) <Ifrit> ooc: Going to let the others transform too before attacking.
(8:51) <Ifrit> ooc: Unless I still get to transform before the others because of First Blood, then I just try to murder it before the others get a shot.
(8:51) <Ifrit> ooc: Excuse me, first strike. I was getting a little ahead of myself.
(8:51) <Ifrit> ooc: >_>
(8:52) <Kotono> OOC: Surprise around all. Go ahead and transform and/or act.
(8:52) <Mycol> "I just realized this swamp must be home to a witch."
(8:52) <Morrie> "To have repaid us like this is not something becoming of what I would have thought a dragon to be." He says, before there's a flurry of wind and lightning! \
(8:52) * Morrie is now known as Ramuh
(8:52) * Mycol speeds up to a blur.
(8:52) <Lehko> "Indeed. We've come to a... decision... in regards to you."
(8:53) <Mycol> "Because I seem to be looking at a tiny, stupid, pissed off Newt.%b"
(8:53) * Ramuh simply shakes his head slowly. "You shall now face the might of those that defeated the Fiend of Earth himself."
(8:53) * Lehko is suddently covered in frost, then ice before it shatters and reveals...
(8:53) * Lehko is now known as Shiva
(8:53) * Shiva stares at the dragon impariously, nose turned up slightly.
(8:54) <Ifrit> "YES, YOU FACE THE MIGHTY IFRIT, THE WISE RAMUH, THE QUICKWITTED MUSHBOOM, THE MAGIC OF THE MOOGLES, AND...THE GENDERBENDING QUEEN!" Ifrit booms. "LET'S DANCE!"
(8:54) * Ifrit then jumps at the dragon!
(8:54) <Shiva> "We have seen ages come and go longer than your kind, lizard. To challenge us... To threaten us.. To hold one of our own hostage... You will pay. Dearly."
(8:54) <Kotono> OOC: Hold on a sec on attacking. Waiting for Mycol to transform first.
(8:54) <Ifrit> ooc: He just cast quickening, didn't he?
(8:55) <Kotono> OOC: Oooh. I'm an idiot!
(8:55) <Ifrit> ooc: I think he wasn't espering up.
(8:55) <Mycol> OOC: Reasoning in other chat, but yeah. Quickeninged
(8:55) <Kotono> OOC: Okay. Penelo, resolve your spell next.
(8:55) <Penelo> OOC: a quick cast aoe blizzara, which will also go for the dragon. now?
(8:57) <Kotono> OOC: Go for it. Ya'll have a surprise round.
(8:57) <Penelo> roll 2d6+90 Blizzara for everyone!
(8:57) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+90 Blizzara for everyone! and gets 99." [2d6=3, 6]
(8:59) <Kotono> Ice explodes out everywhere, as meanwhile Mycol vibrates with PURE SPEED! The imps are nearly frozen to death, barely up! Meanwhile the dragon stares, uttering a phrase deadpan, "Well shit," it says in a tiny little voice. OOC: Espers act ont he round they're summoned. Ifrit, go first. Grim reaper/freebie doesn't apply as an esper since they have their own skills/traits.
(9:00) * Ifrit is still launching himself at the dragon as it's blasted with ice magic, slamming his claws deep into the dragon's hide, ripping it open so the others have easier access to the insides! He laughs handily as he spills blood!
(9:00) <Ifrit> roll 2d6+90
(9:00) * Hatbot --> "Ifrit rolls 2d6+90 and gets 96." [2d6=4, 2]
(9:00) <Ifrit> ooc: fiery strike
(9:01) <Ifrit> ooc: which for whatever reason -isn't- fiery, but hey.
(9:02) <Kotono> The dragon's side is ripped open, scales broken apart under the assault! It's deadpan call becomes that of pain, pounced on already! OOC: The ow. Ramuh, go.
(9:04) <Ramuh> Ramuh raises his staff to the heavens above! A lightning bolt CRACKS down onto the tip of it, held and carried there as he spins it aloft! "You had your chance to leave us be. Accept your punishment." He points the staff at the dragon and lets the bolt fly!
(9:04) <Ramuh> roll 2d6+70 Lightning Damage
(9:04) * Hatbot --> "Ramuh rolls 2d6+70 Lightning Damage and gets 77." [2d6=5, 2]
(9:05) <Kotono> roll 77*2 you found the weakness
(9:05) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 77*2 you found the weakness and gets 154."
(9:06) <Kotono> A blast of lightning from above htis the dragon! Its massive skeleton shows as it flashes yellow and black, fried before your eyes! It twitches after, making little tsunamis in the swamp water! OOC: OOOOOW. Shiva.
(9:06) <Kotono> The imps groan out in frigid confusion, utterly taken off guard by this betrayal!
(9:07) <Ramuh> "You all should leave this place." Ramuh intones. "We will not punish you further for this beast's impudence." OOC: If I'm allowed to say something when it isn'tmy turn, anyway.
(9:07) <Kotono> OOC: Sure, talking's usually free. Shiva, go.
(9:08) * Shiva curls a lip at the dragon in disgust before sashaying over to it and backhanding it across the snout, seemingly more interested in not 'infecting' her hand...
(9:08) <Shiva> roll 2d6+55 (Slap)
(9:08) * Hatbot --> "Shiva rolls 2d6+55 (Slap) and gets 63." [2d6=3, 5]
(9:09) <Kotono> The dragon's head snaps back, the taste smacked right out of his mouth! At this it stumbles, regrouping, "This is...this is..." OOC: Init.
(9:09) <Kotono> roll 2d6+4 impgroup
(9:09) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+4 impgroup and gets 14." [2d6=4, 6]

(9:12) <Ifrit> ooc: Espers act again before the dragon. Yay~
(9:12) <Kotono> OOC: Okay then. Open Shiva. Ow.
(9:13) * Shiva is standing in front of the dragon, he look of disgust turning into a smirk of amusement as she brings her other hand around, slapping the dragon across the face again.
(9:14) <Shiva> roll 2d6+55 (Slap)
(9:14) * Hatbot --> "Shiva rolls 2d6+55 (Slap) and gets 66." [2d6=6, 5]
(9:14) <Kotono> The dragon's head is smacked the other way, neckscales cracking loudly! It's reeling from the assault, bleeding from those cracks! OOC: Ifrit.
(9:15) * Ifrit just laughs, lost in the haze of bloodlust as he digs his claws into the dragon's wings, reaching behind the beast and yanking at the mix of flesh and scales that make up its ability to flee. "Oh, such a foolish, foolish hatchling of a dragon! That you don't know better than to draw the ire of ones such as us!"
(9:15) <Ifrit> roll 2d6+90 (fiery strike)
(9:15) * Hatbot --> "Ifrit rolls 2d6+90 (fiery strike) and gets 95." [2d6=1, 4]
(9:16) <Kotono> A great hunk of back scale and flesh is torn away, the dragon bleating in agony! But as it is utterly beaten down, the imps strike! The first goes for Penelo, pure malice as it slashes and stabs at her! OOC: Opposed force.
(9:17) <Kotono> roll 2d6+4
(9:17) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+4 and gets 10." [2d6=1, 5]
(9:17) <Penelo> roll 2d6+6
(9:17) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+6 and gets 16." [2d6=6, 4]
(9:17) <Kotono> But Penelo shrugs off the malice, as a second imp closes in to do the same! OOC: Another opposed force.
(9:17) <Kotono> roll 2d6+4
(9:17) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+4 and gets 9." [2d6=1, 4]
(9:17) <Penelo> roll 2d6+6
(9:17) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+6 and gets 13." [2d6=4, 3]
(9:18) <Kotono> But again Penelo resists! A third one peels off and goes for a pure, malice filled strike at Shiva...but nothing happens! "It...it didn't work?!" It yelps in its language!
(9:19) <Kotono> OOC: Espers are status immune. Fourth imp is up now.
(9:19) <Kotono> The fourth one turns to Penelo, "Bad ice! Bad ice!" It calls, before attacking with pure malice at the one who hurt them so!
(9:19) <Kotono> roll 2d6+4 opposed force
(9:19) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+4 opposed force and gets 13." [2d6=4, 5]
(9:19) <Penelo> roll 2d6+6
(9:19) * Hatbot --> "Penelo rolls 2d6+6 and gets 11." [2d6=2, 3]

(9:20) <Kotono> It leaves Penelo reeling and exhausted, vitality diminished to thet minimum! The fifth meanwhile goes to finish her off, "Really bad ice," it agrees, swinging for the moogle!
(9:20) <Kotono> roll 2d6+5 wow, that took more than they expected to work. AVD?
(9:20) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 2d6+5 wow, that took more than they expected to work. AVD? and gets 16." [2d6=5, 6]

(9:22) <Kotono> The blow knocks Penelo cold, as the messenger stumbles, "Bad touch!" It whimpers, going for the only other possible target - Mycol! OOC: Opposed force.
(9:22) <Kotono> roll 2d6+4

(9:24) <Mycol> d6
(9:24) * Hatbot --> "Mycol rolls d6 and gets 1." [d6=1]
(9:24) <Kotono> OOC: Tie. Another or reroll?
(9:24) <Ifrit> ooc: haaaaaatebot
(9:24) <Mycol> OOC: Reroll, I guess. I don't have another.
(9:24) <Kotono> OOC: Hatbot has been a whore today. He really has.

(9:25) * Hatbot --> "Mycol rolls 2d6+4 and gets 10." [2d6=1, 5]
(9:25) <Kotono> OOC: To be honest, sicne you tied and spent destiny, I'm inclined ot let the bonuses stay on this.
(9:25) <Kotono> But Mycol resists the malice, the party enduring against the mighty dragon's servants! OOC: Ramuh.
(9:26) <Ifrit> ooc: Clearly Ramuh should electrocute them, since they're weak to it
(9:26) <Ifrit> ooc: and so is the dragon
(9:26) <Ifrit> ooc: Also, clearly they didn't accept his offer of mercy.
(9:26) <Mycol> "Sorry Titan.... that took a lot out of me."
(9:27) <Mycol> "I was... going to let you join your friends...."
(9:27) <Kotono> "Hang in there!" Titan encourages, heard amid the call of battle, "Clobber 'em!"
(9:28) <Ramuh> Ramuh again raises his staff and sends yet another bolt of lightning to the Dragon!
(9:28) <Ramuh> roll 2d6+70 Lightning Damage
(9:28) * Hatbot --> "Ramuh rolls 2d6+70 Lightning Damage and gets 76." [2d6=1, 5]
(9:30) <Kotono> roll 76*2
(9:30) * Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 76*2 and gets 152."
(9:32) <Kotono> The bolt slams into the dragon, setting him ashock again! It's enough to leave him reeling, "Enough of this! This is BULLSHIT AND YOU WILL DIE!" he screams, a screaming, metal song of frogs and transformation hitting Ramuh...but nothing happens! The dragon's stance shifts, now fully offensive! OOC: Dragon's up, he destiny-interrupted.
(9:33) <Kotono> In a burbling, thick voice it calls, "Drown!" As suddenly tidal waves of water slam into the party from all directions! OOC: M.ARM, y'all? Also note any water resistance/weaknesses.
(9:33) <Ifrit> ooc: Ifrit is vulnerable to water, sadly.
(9:34) <Mycol> OOC: 25, none
(9:34) <Shiva> OOC: 35, no vulnerability.
(9:34) <Ifrit> ooc: MARM is 0 for all espers, Iddy.
(9:34) <Shiva> OOC: Oh, right, they only use character stats.

(9:37) <Kotono> The party is blasted by the water, knocked around and battered but good!  Ifrit hisses in pain and Ramuh is all wet, the others enduring well. "Now come at me, fools!" The dragon demands! OOC: Mycol.

(9:59) * Ifrit raises an eyebrow at the paladin, musing what his old rival did, before laughing in amusement as he fades away, his laughter booming even after he's gone.
(9:59) * Ifrit is now known as Santos
(9:59) * Ramuh is now known as Morrie
(10:00) * Lehko slumps a bit, shaking his blue tinted fur at the sudden change and cold before looking at the 'collared' dragon in slightly stunned awe.
(10:00) <Mycol> "Wha...."
(10:01) <Santos> "Well, that's one way to collar a dragon," Santos states in amusement, sharing in Ifrit's glee.
(10:01) <Penelo> "..What did you do?"
(10:01) <Kotono> The dragon lies there for a time before it looks up. It gazes disdain at the party, "I would say you dare, but it seems I have...miscalculated," it admits, "Know this - keeping me in service will not end well. I will betray you for the insult. I will end you." It glares, "But...perhaps we can make a pact of agreement and trade in exchange for getting rid of this binding."
(10:01) * Lehko jerks and stares at Penelo.
(10:01) <Lehko> "Me?! Do *I* look like a Goddess of Ice?"
(10:01) <Penelo> "..What did she do?" She huffs.
(10:02) * Lehko stares at the Dragon.
(10:02) <Lehko> "Uh... Adopted a pet? I mean, hell, I don't know!"
(10:03) <Morrie> "First," Morrie begins. "We will be taking our wagon back." He says as he moves to walk around the dragon.
(10:03) <Kotono> "Spare me your prattling," it growls, "A pact would enforce both sides to honor the pact," he goes on, "Ask your bonded espers, they can confirm it. What do you want? Money? Treasure? Power? Knowledge?"
(10:03) <Kotono> "Done," The dragon says, "I doubt that was in debate after your victory."
(10:04) <Morrie> "It wasn't a request." He says, moving to investigate it to make sure it's all intact and to see if Jessica is there.
(10:04) <Kotono> Flying over, Morrie finds it intact. Jessica peeks out, "So...dragon," she says in a little voice, "Got it sorted out? Great."
(10:04) * Santos just continues laughing, pointing at the dragon in complete mockery of the beast as he slaps his knee.
(10:05) <Kotono> The look Santos gets feel as if it could drown a man in the desert.
(10:05) * Lehko stumbles over to Jessica.
(10:05) <Morrie> "We've come to terms." He responds with a small smile. "Everything intact? Besides your nerves?"
(10:05) <Mycol> "Seems you were a kidnapper before we were, newt."
(10:05) <Lehko> "We... Shiva.. She.. collared it... We.. We own a dragon."
(10:05) * Lehko turns slowly to stare at Jessica.
(10:05) <Kotono> "YOU DO NOT OWN ME!" The dragon snaps, "Tell me what you want to spare us both your grisly demises in the future. But I will not be some pet like a tamed chocobo!"
(10:06) <Morrie> "I would suggest you keep your temper in check, Suell." He turns his attention briefly to the dragon, nothing more than neutral in his tone.
(10:07) <Santos> "Spare -us-? Who has the collar and is beaten to pieces, and who's pretty much at full health, and full of mirth? Any grisly demise ain't going our way, let me tell you that!" Santos exclaims between laughs.
(10:07) <Kotono> Suell just glares at them, "Then tell me what you want, damn you!"
(10:08) <Penelo> "To be left alone as we finish looking for Catoplebas, and considering how you keep running a toll on people who enter here, maybe your fortune?"
(10:08) <Morrie> "I think it's up to the person who collared him." He says, looking to Lehko.
(10:09) <Santos> "What can you offer, dragon?" Santos says. "Outside of using you as a beast of burden to pull our wagon, and let me tell you, the irony of that after you tried to steal it is keeping me in stitches, I've got nothing else thought up."
(10:09) * Lehko stares slightly wide-eyed at Morrie.
(10:10) <Kotono> "I can offer several things. I can bestow you a bell that will summon me to transport you around Glacierwind Valley through the air." He ticks them off one at a time, "I can give you treasure or equipment. I can bestow draconic vitality or magic on you. I can answer any three questions you wish, so long as I know the answers."
(10:11) * Penelo seems to perk up a bit at hearing part of that.
(10:11) * Lehko eyes the dragon.
(10:11) <Lehko> "Can you *make* me into a dragon?"
(10:12) <Kotono> "No," It answers, "One doesn't become a dragon like that. One is born a dragon, feline."
(10:13) * Lehko grunts.
(10:13) <Lehko> "Do we have any questions? Or rather..."
(10:13) * Lehko stares at the Dragon.
(10:13) <Lehko> "Why shouldn't we just take *all of it?*"
(10:14) <Santos> "Unless one of your questions is an answer on how to save our old friend Janus...questions don't really grab my interest, I don't know that I'd trust you not to drop us midair while transporting us without a collar, and well, the rest? Could be cool, might not, really up to you all," Santos says.
(10:14) <Lehko> "I mean, you did threaten and try to extort us. That's one trespass. Then you stole our wagon. That's two trespasses. Then you kidnapped our friend. That's three. Three trespasses, three reperations to be made."
(10:15) <Kotono> "Because," With a growl, "You'll regret it for the rest of your extremely short lives if you do that."
(10:15) <Mycol> "Let's finish him now."
(10:15) * Lehko taps his chin.
(10:15) <Mycol> "He's said his piece. I say we put the rabid dog down."
(10:15) <Kotono> The dragon glares at Mycol, and like his scales are grinding, "Two then. Two of the offers."
(10:16) * Lehko turns to the others.
(10:16) <Penelo> "... I sort of like the idea of draconic magic, kupo, but I did not collar him."
(10:16) <Lehko> "I say we take the treasure and the dragon magic... Opinions?"
(10:16) <Penelo> "The equipment might be nice."
(10:17) <Morrie> "I will defer to your judgement on the matter." He says with a nod.
(10:17) <Lehko> "I mean.. The equipment should be part of the treasure, shouldn't it?"
(10:17) <Morrie> "I don't think he's in any condition to negotiate many terms with us." He responds.
(10:18) <Santos> "I leave it all to you. I'm surprised Jessica hasn't said her piece on this after what treatment she must have faced," Santos comments, looking towards the wagon. "Hey, Jessica! Still alive and okay?" he calls out.
(10:19) <Kotono> "Doing okay! Just terrified!" Jessica calls back.
(10:19) * Lehko nods and turns back to the Dragon.
(10:20) <Lehko> "Your treasure horde and your magic. All of it."
(10:21) <Kotono> The glare is like death, "So be it. Dragon magic and my treasure." It holds out a claw, "In the name of a dragon's pact, do you agree?"
(10:21) <Lehko> "By victor's right, I do."
(10:22) <Kotono> "Done. Who will take the magic?" The dragon asks.
(10:22) <Penelo> "............" Penelo taps her staff a bit.
(10:23) <Morrie> "What is it that you will impart?"
(10:23) <Kotono> "Three spells. Water, watera and frog song," It replies.
(10:23) * Lehko smirks at Penelo's reaction.
(10:24) <Santos> "Pass."
(10:24) <Morrie> He raises an eyebrow. "That's draconic magic?" He shakes his head. "I already know the last. You two are welcome to it." He nods to them.
(10:24) <Morrie> OOC: By them I mean Penelo and Mycol.
(10:24) <Mycol> "And I have the first.
(10:25) <Kotono> "They can be ddivided if you care," The dragon replies, "I care not."
(10:25) <Morrie> "Very well then." He looks at Mycol. "You should take the advanced Watera magic, Mycol, and you the other two, Penelo."
(10:26) <Lehko> "Sounds good to me."
(10:26) <Penelo> Penelo will nod to that after thinking.
(10:27) <Kotono> "Done," With those words, magical energy, bright and blue, flows into both Mycol and Penelo! OOC: Post.
(10:28) <Kotono> "Now, I will return in a half hour with the treasures," It says, "You will wait here and I will return with them. Worry not about betrayal in this, for a pact will bind me to this horrible task."
(10:28) <Kotono> OOC: If you want to say something, say so. If not, we'll pause here since we're at quittin' time.
