I guess we get everything magic ID'd, too. >.>

[Anastasia]

Slaad's sword is magic, breastplate and sword aren't. Anyone taking anything else?

[Carthrat]

Actually let's take the gold stuff anyway. It's made of money!

[Sierra]

Mari is totally taking that brandy.

[Dracos]

So I've read up all the logs.  I'll have stats updated by later today, jetlagginess not withstanding.  I seem to have missed some cool meaty shivra flavor, while I expect Kam's been sitting around, keeping watch and studying up on his next language (draconic, so he can practice his broken learnings on mari), trying to desperately ignore cubi.  In truthiness(tm), Kam's been kind of a blank for about 4ish sessions now between being dead, replaced, tweaked, revived, and sidetracked as I missed 1.5 sessions, so a bit out of the flow and anxious to get back in and figure out some meaty RPness to be part of.

Statin' in hopes of making sure I got what's on our plate:
On the slad/cube line, Slad is dead and so the party will be coming back and collecting Kam/telling cubi about it at beginning of next session :)

On the inevitables, 1 survived, we've tentatively agreed to help repair it in exchange for not hunting down cubi...and hopefully good money.  Nikki's override of his bargaining makes it unclear whether or not mr. law will see it that way. (Use AND.  Don't just replace their terms!)

The duel bit is entirely finished at this point with knight having a couple that likely hate her guts for some point later.

The Solar bit (Virginowned) has established that Lich is going to be mind fucking Nikkolai when she gets a chance until we kill her.

Mari has yet more brandy. :)

At this point most of the flavor of shivra is sampled to move on from.  oh well.

Open on the plate are:
1)Sending Cubi off
2)Getting the inevitable repaired.  We have inevitable parts and a gnomish tinkerer.  I agree with party so far on this being a good starting strategy.  If not, a tinkerer would surely know a different one if he'll admit he can't do it.  Would definitely hurt the trust on the whole building living mecha horse thing.
3)Buying the mecha horse/first investment.  Hopefully 30k is most of it.
4)Going to portals expert/wizard.  Opportunity to ask eccentric fellow about how portals and things work. 

Not sure anything there for kam to more directly bite onto though scenewise, so I'll try and make my own. :)  Definitely interested in any opportunity to move back from orbiting the party at far arms reach to getting back into the party.

<Mari> roll 1d20+13 K:P, so Mari's thinking about stuff for obvious reasons and wondering about transformations and conversions and, well, a lot of crazy stuff happens out in the planes, you know? Does she remember anything that might tell her likely it is that she can keep control of herself while something like this happens?

Can it happen? Yes. There are stories of good vampires who earn another life through centuries of guarding those they are meant to hunt. Fiends have cast away the burdens of evil, becoming another bright light in the Heavens. Drow have forsaken the Spider-Queen. On the other side, fallen angels such as Baazlebub rule in Hell, while blackguards are often former paladins who strayed from the light. But it must be remembered that they are the exceptions to the rule. For every risen fiend or fallen angel, there are millions that never once stray from what they are.

If one erinyes in Baator becomes an angel once again, a million others revel in what they are. Certainly, it's not unheard of. But the vast majority of the time, you are what you are. Yugoloth are still evil. It's just as likely as cracking an egg over a hot pan, and seeing it freeze instead of cook.

Between-session upkeep time!

Okay, you guys have a night of rest. Restore spells and HP as appropriate. If anyone is casting healing spells before bed post so; Yulia can expend hers if needed to top you guys off. Are you guys going to do anything but rest up and go to the wizard tomorrow, assuming you go to him like you agreed?

[Sierra]

I'm really starting to feel like I should apologize to Yulia for all the crazy shit that goes on around us, since she's been freaking out so much lately. But that's all I've got.

[Carthrat]

You, too? Actually I was thinking less 'apologize' and more 'justify'. >_>

I'm going to go ask that cleric about the items we are allegedly going to hunt down.

[Anastasia]

Do any of the rest of you want to talk to Yulia? If pretty much everyone does we'll start next session with it. Otherwise we may do this over the week as circumstances permit.

[Carthrat]

What I would talk to Yulia about in private (or just Mari) and with everyone else are two different things, I must admit.

[Dracos]

I'd swing by Nikkolai possibly but I don't know if there's a scene there.  Kam isn't much for thumping folks with guilt, more it's a disaster to be surmounted and all.  Truthfully, I don't think a group apology session fits, though quiet one on ones might for yulia.  I'll leave that to others as it'd be weird if we all do it and really Mari or Nikkolai make the most sense there.

The cleric thing seems more like a board question.  Though Kam would also be interested in the answer.  Kam would also be interested in us GIing the lands he was talking about, so we get other opinions on it than his own.  I think we're still good food and water wise as its really been mere days since we bought enough supplies for a month.

[Anastasia]

Point Knight. Okay, we'll see how it goes and how I feel to running things then.

Cleric thing?

You're fine on food water and can restock in town in any event.
