&#91;00:10&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' The ship, then. From their journey from the Strip, to the outpost of the Wreck, and now to Firebrandt, the Mitigated Landing, a heavily modified freighter of all legal cargo had been travelling for several weeks, now. It had been a week and a half since they'd lost one of their crew to a rather nasty bloodwing attack, and just over a week since the crew had picked up a temporary traveller
 +
 +
&#91;00:10&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' member in the form of Sora Kawaguchi, a hippogriff rider who'd been offered travel for helping guard the ship. Of course, stowed away on the ship too had been Aiying, a showgirl from the Wizard's Strip - or rather, had hijacked her way onto the ship through sort-of-legal kung fu. Not that the various guards, shotgunners and rifleers and assorted folk, nor the passengers - minded too much about.
 +
 +
&#91;00:12&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' As for the captain, Captain Red (Redvhorshire to those who knew him better) - most stayed out of the surly man's way, though keeping away from the attendant spirit, Mitigation, was another matter.
 +
 +
&#91;00:14&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' The sky has darkened; while there should only be a few hours until those on the ship reach their destination of Emberflash, one of the outlying tower-hamlets of the magical academy that made up Firebrandt, something in the air had put everyone's teeth on edge. And for the moment, Captain Red had called Sora up to the small bridge of the airship.
 +
 +
&#91;00:15&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' (Aiying can tag along, if she wishes - she's grudgingly been given room to do whatever she wishes, short of throwing anything overboard)
 +
 +
&#91;00:16&#93; &#42; '''Sora_Kawaguchi''' had felt it would be best to help the crew, who had already lost a member, to make the rest of the travel safely. That it also provided her with an easier long distance travel was an extra reason to agree to those conditions. She would have helped anyway but she never quite mentioned that fact. With the feeling of menace of the air that was permeating now, she hurried to answer the call, knocking at the man's door with a strong fist.
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:20&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' Just to note, we'll mostly probably handle ooc in the main channel in brackets, though if you do have to say something extendd here's the place to mention it!
 +
 +
&#91;00:20&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' Mmkay. :o
 +
 +
&#91;00:20&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' Also, did Aiying want to jump on in, or is it raining too hard? :'D
 +
 +
&#91;00:20&#93; '''&#60;Aiying&#62;''' Oh, rain? She's fine with that!
 +
 +
&#91;00:21&#93; '''&#60;Aiying&#62;''' So should I attach to Sora?
 +
 +
&#91;00:21&#93; '''&#60;Aiying&#62;''' (I missed the message, nevermind)
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:21&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' The door swings open, allowing entry - Mitigation stood - or more precisely - hovered behind, the indistinct form of the ships' spirit - both it's drive and mind - gestruing Sora out of the rain on deck. The wind had started to pick up, not quite bad enough to not fly at all, but the visibility was poor, to say the least.
 +
 +
&#91;00:22&#93; &#42; '''Aiying''' attached herself to Sora, really, at least when 'something interesting' came up. She popped up behind the shorter woman with a wave. "Sounded more fun then th'cabin!" She said brightly, even if she was soaked.
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:23&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' (Oh - a couple of questions, too, for everyone: would you prefer to be referred to in the second person or third person, and present tense or past tense?)
 +
 +
&#91;00:24&#93; '''&#60;Aiying&#62;''' Aiying is too awesome for your puny pronouns!
 +
 +
&#91;00:25&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' All right~
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:25&#93; &#42; '''Sora_Kawaguchi''' gratefully walked in from the rain, "Thank you, may your winds ever be gAH-ah, hello Lady Aiying..." The woman was slightly maddening, popping in and out like a capricious summer breeze.
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:28&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' (Third person, and either tense works for me.)
 +
 +
&#91;00:28&#93; '''&#60;Sora_Kawaguchi&#62;''' (I tend to favor third person past tense as if telling the story later on but anything is fine.)&#91;13:38&#93; &#60;Aiying&#62; (Naw, really, I only prefer Aiying just so it's clear who is being addressed)
 +
 +
&#91;00:30&#93; '''&#60;Aiying&#62;''' For tenses, don't care.
 +
 +
&#91;00:30&#93; '''&#60;Aileen&#62;''' (I third person works better for the log and because we are a group. ^-^)
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:30&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' "Oh, there you are, girl- Thoth's teeth! At least wear some proper clothing if you're going out in the rain, ma'am!" Captain Red averts his eyes from the second soaked figure. "There's something out in the clouds, I can feel it. I don't want you going out quite yet, but prep your hippogriff, will you? That storm's not natural."
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:31&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' (All right, past tense, then! Third person.)
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:32&#93; &#42; '''Aiying''' smiles. It's not bad when you've something to warm you up," she said, nimbly flipping a flask in the air before catching it - and taking a quick drink. "I have more clothing to change into when we're out of the rain, anyways," she said, skipping any mention of the word 'proper'.
 +
 +
&#91;00:33&#93; &#42; '''Sora_Kawaguchi''' nods, "Your crew are used to the ebbs and flows of these skies and I've noticed a current of unease. I think they all sense something is off as well, you have a good crew. I will be ready, you merely need to say the word and I shall take to the skies." She didn't leave yet, lingering to make sure the captain had nothing else to say or request. As for Aiying, the woman was tried
 +
 +
&#91;00:33&#93; &#42; '''Sora_Kawaguchi''' to ignore the casual alcohol abuse and improper clothing.
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:34&#93; '''&#60;Aiying&#62;''' Aiying: This alcohol gives me a +2 bonus to the Fort and Reflex saves I bet I'll need to be making today!"
 +
 +
&#91;00:35&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' Hehe.
 +
 +
&#91;00:35&#93; '''&#60;Sora_Kawaguchi&#62;''' Sora will still disaprove very obviously while politely refraining from saying anything in the most japanese fashion.
 +
 +
&#91;00:35&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' Oho~
 +
 +
&#91;00:35&#93; '''&#60;Sora_Kawaguchi&#62;''' Plus, I seem to recall Yukari mentioning a bit of prejudice
 +
 +
&#91;00:35&#93; '''&#60;Aiying&#62;''' Yup
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:36&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' The captain stared out at the billowing sails, filled with wind, towards the mushroom-shaped floating tower ahead. It was only a small hands-width across for the moment, barely visible in the gathering stormclouds. Though it appeared some folks had their minds on closer matters - Mitigation let out a chiming peal of laughter, her form obscuring most of Aiying's - most likely for modesty,
 +
 +
&#91;00:36&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' no doubt. "Storm's coming. And- could you try not endangering all your limbs today, ma'am? I'd rather not have all of the Strip after me when I head back."
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:37&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' Keep all arms, legs, fists and polearms inside the vehicle at all times.
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:37&#93; &#42; '''Aiying''' giggles. "THey'll just say I ran out of luck or something witty," she said, replacing the flask without taking another drink. "If I fell off the ship, it's my own fault."
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:39&#93; &#42; '''Aileen''' (Chigai_On@f802n415q.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #RW-OOC
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:39&#93; &#42; '''Sora_Kawaguchi''' nods, "I'll be ready to rescue you when that occurs, of course. Was there anything else, Captain?"
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:40&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' All right~ Since we are all here, then a separate OOC channel

&#91;00:41&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' Aiying, give the nice GM their ops. :o

|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:41&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' "Just for the moment." The elf taps the wheel, testing the pull of the wind. "I don't like this one bit."
 +
 +
&#91;00:41&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' And the ship continued.

|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:42&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' Emberflash, then; where diplomacy and distrust came hand in hand.
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:43&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' Here goes. Haven't done nearly enough RPing so I hope I'm not too rusty.
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:43&#93; &#42; '''Sora_Kawaguchi''' nods and goes to prepare her mount and equipment, getting in the saddle with her Nodachi held in one hand and supported by a stirup.
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:44&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' You'll be fine~
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:47&#93; &#42; '''Aiying''' gives a grin and another silly wave before leaving - she doesn't need to get equipment, but she'll wait near Sora to keep her mount company before Sora returns, but mostly waiting to see if they go somewhere.
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:48&#93; '''&#60;Sora_Kawaguchi&#62;''' oh god, upside down town.
 +
 +
&#91;00:48&#93; '''&#60;Sora_Kawaguchi&#62;''' You really did it.
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:48&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' Emberflash; The orientation of this miniature academy would confuse anyone - the sky was down and the ground was up. Gravity was up too, making actually leaving the town a tad difficult - but people seemed to manage. -Enough of that, though - "Ahoy, Maxwell!" A thin, wiry man called down from one of the upper (?) floors of the tower.
 +
 +
&#91;00:48&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' "Can you hear the alarums? It sounds like quite a racket, don't you think?" Ansev Freichard, Maxwell's wingman and fellow griffin knight, calls out, waving from one of the windows.
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:49&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' Oh, this is just the one~ There's quite a few of the upside down towers, as well as the main city~
 +
 +
&#91;00:50&#93; '''&#60;Sora_Kawaguchi&#62;''' Sora is going to look at it and consider it another example of 'Gaijin are weird didjaknowthat?'
 +
 +
&#91;00:50&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' They're weird? Why are you standing on the ceiling, then?
 +
 +
&#91;00:51&#93; '''&#60;Sora_Kawaguchi&#62;''' The gods have oriented gravity as they have for a reason. Who are you to go against divine decree?
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:51&#93; &#42; '''Maxwell''' turns away from the window - from which he was observing the foreboding storm beside Carlana, his own gryphon - and up to Ansev. "Something's happened, then?" he calls back, "Are we to take flight, or have you not heard anything from Father Tomberry yet?"
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;00:52&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' Gah, definitely a bit rusty still. @_@
 +
 +
&#91;00:53&#93; '''&#60;Sora_Kawaguchi&#62;''' it's fine~
 +
 +
&#91;00:54&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' Rusty? Like a paladin's sense of humour, perhaps~?
 +
 +
&#91;00:54&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' Hah.
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;00:56&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' "Father Tomberry's called for us; I hear some of the guards are making a sortie to investigate something. Of course, us being their honoured guests, it would be most incorrect of us as griffin paladins to show them up. Not least since they're clearly of such high skill and training." Right on cue, a rushing person holding two helmets and a breastplate tripped, sending the items scattering
 +
 +
&#91;00:56&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' into the air for a moment, slowly floating back to the "ground".
 +
 +
&#91;00:59&#93; &#42; '''Maxwell''' takes a moment to turn towards the source of the subdued clattering, then returns his focus to Ansev and nods firmly. "Duly noted. I'll be right there," he says with a salute before walking over to the clumsy armsbearer and offering a hand to help them up, motioning Carlana to follow him on the way.
 +
 +
&#91;01:04&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' The weather's not yet at the point of raining on the city of Emberflash; fortunately, most of the rain trickled away from the city, protected from the watery bombardment by the mushroom dome above it. So it is with moderate dryness that Carlana and Maxwell met near the military docks, where Ansev had lead the pair - wearing full armour, surprisingly. Or perhaps not. "That's odd. I distinctly
 +
 +
&#91;01:04&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' remember Father Tonberry mentioning the military dock..." Sir Freichard shrugs, turning to stare at the five mages in a boat being lectured - instructed? -nearby.
 +
 +
&#91;01:07&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' "Perhaps he's still busy back in the main city?" suggests Maxwell, looking around. "Of course we don't want him unguarded in that case... More to the point though, where are the rear claws?"
 +
 +
&#91;01:13&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' "Possibly, possibly," the knight replied. "I believe they were with him. Though... there's an odd thing. They're arming the fire towers, but all they've got to go see what they think's the problem is a single skiff with a golem and some - clearly highly trained warrior-mages." One of the mages could be seen fidgeting from here. The instructor doesn't hold back on his voice - "And - listen,
 +
 +
&#91;01:13&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' I don't want any lip out of you! One unnatural stormcloud, right behind a ship. Scrying isn't picking up anything, so it's up to you. Intercept it, see what the deaths is going on. You've got sending scrolls, report back as soon as you see. We don't want any accidents occuring, do we?"
 +
 +
&#91;01:18&#93; &#42; '''Maxwell''' slowly nods. "Mm. That is somewhat concerning," he notes, rubbing his chin. "Well, so long as the Father's under guard and one of us keeps the docks open... Would you mind particularly if I went out to survey with them?"
 +
 +
&#91;01:22&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' "Oh? Well, what us knights do on our break shouldn't be a problem, should it? In fact, I think I should take a break as well... what do you say, Ecks?" Ansev's griffin squarks, most likely in agreement. "Well, since that's settled-" "Hold, Sir Knights!" -That - that was Naime, coming in to land. "Didn't Father Tomberry tell you NOT to go down to the docks?" she said exasperatedly.
 +
 +
&#91;01:25&#93; &#42; '''Maxwell''' stiffly salutes to Naime. "Apparently there was a miscommunication down the line," he admits with an aside glance to Ansev. "Our sincere apologies. However, for what reason were we to stay clear of the docks?"
 +
 +
| class="ooc" |
 +
&#91;01:28&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' Clearly Ansev just feels like every day is opposite day.
 +
 +
&#91;01:29&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' Every day is say the right thing to say day to Ansev.
 +
 +
|-
 +
| class="ic" |
 +
&#91;01:29&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' Naime Tomberry; a rear claw. Gryphon knights operate in fours, usually - two front claws and two rear claws, so as always to have someone back them up. She salutes back, glancing over with a long-suffering look to Ansev. "He officially didn't want you to go out, and would prefer you to have stayed in the tower guarding him. He's a bit worried about all the guards on edg-" "So, unofficially,
 +
 +
&#91;01:29&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' it's all right, then?" Ansev leans forward, curious. "That's not what he said-" "We're off duty, and it's every griffin Knight's responsibility to keep their griffons exercised. We should be responsible, isn't that right, Maxwell?"
 +
 +
&#91;01:33&#93; &#42; '''Maxwell''' casts another aside glance to Ansev without a word before clearing his throat. "To be perfectly honest, whatever has the city nervous has been making me nervous too. Guarding Father Tomberry is important, but I'd like to see what the city - and by extension we - are looking at. You go ahead and return to the Father, and I'll report back shortly." He fires off another salute, then strides towards the boat, addressing the instructor. "Ahoy. Would you like some assistance surveying the storms?"
 +
 +
&#91;01:36&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' "But-" From behind Maxwell he could hear her still.  "He said if the town falls you could best protect the citizens by being here-" "Don't worry, Naime! That's what you're here for! You and Sir Maledict! You'll do fantastically, I'm sure."

&#91;01:40&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' "If the city's in danger, I'll be riding ahead of the storm to aid!" Maxwell calls back briefly before returning to the instructor. "The situation has us on alert as well, so I'd like to join in the reconnaissance efforts for everyone's sake. Plus, it's probably better to have something more nimble than a ship surveying the inside of the storm, don't you think?"
 +
 +
&#91;01:44&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' "Well... we're not exactly the best equipped to scout out, I'm afraid. Are you sure your gryphons will be all right? I think these numbskulls would be glad to have help, but only if you're all right with that. Sir." The instructor looked vaguely familiar - was he one of those at one of the refectory meals? "We'd welcome both of you to help out - we've got an incoming ship, and think it

&#91;01:50&#93; '''&#60;Remnant_GM&#62;''' "Sure you don't want me to c- well, I'm sure you'll be fine!" Ansev waves, shrugging. "Make sure you've got his back, you hear? I want him back in one piece!" Some of the mages wave back as the skiff sets off - it's a fairly small ship, barely seating all six of them and the griffin. "Hello, Sir! What's your name? Are you Maxwell, or that other bloke?"

 +
&#91;01:52&#93; '''&#60;Maxwell&#62;''' "I am indeed Sir Maxwell Kharvast of the Gryphon Knights, at your service." he answers with a smile before patting his gryphon's side. "And this is Carlana.

Well, we don't know what we're after either - if the ship comes up clean, we're going to see if we can't dispel the storm a bit with some scrolls - it shouldn't affect the city, but then again, best not to take chances, eh?"

&#91;04:45&#93; '''&#60;Aiying&#62;''' Right, if it attacked him, I'm using that standard action.

From their journey from the Strip, to the outpost of the Wreck, and now to Firebrandt, the Mitigated Landing, a heavily modified freighter of all legal cargo had been travelling for several weeks, now. It had been a week and a half since they'd lost one of their crew to a rather nasty bloodwing attack, and just over a week since the crew had picked up a temporary traveller member in the form of Sora Kawaguchi, a hippogriff rider who'd been offered travel for helping guard the ship. Of course, stowed away on the ship too had been Aiying, a showgirl from the Wizard's Strip - or rather, had hijacked her way onto the ship through sort-of-legal kung fu. Not that the various guards, shotgunners and rifleers and assorted folk, nor the passengers - minded too much about.
 
[21:20] <@Remnant_GM> As for the captain, Captain Red (Redvhorshire to those who knew him better) - most stayed out of the surly man's way, though keeping away from the attendant spirit, Mitigation, was another matter.
 
[21:22] <@Remnant_GM> The sky has darkened; while there should only be a few hours until those on the ship reach their destination of Emberflash, one of the outlying tower-hamlets of the magical academy that made up Firebrandt, something in the air had put everyone's teeth on edge. And for the moment, Captain Red had called Sora up to the small bridge of the airship.
 
[21:23] <@Remnant_GM> (Aiying can tag along, if she wishes - she's grudgingly been given room to do whatever she wishes, short of throwing anything overboard)
 
[21:24] * +Sora_Kawaguchi had felt it would be best to help the crew, who had already lost a member, to make the rest of the travel safely. That it also provided her with an easier long distance travel was an extra reason to agree to those conditions. She would have helped anyway but she never quite mentioned that fact. With the feeling of menace of the air that was permeating now, she hurried to answer
 
[21:24] * +Sora_Kawaguchi the call, knocking at the man's door with a strong fist.
 
[21:29] <@Remnant_GM> The door swings open, allowing entry - Mitigation stood - or more precisely - hovered behind, the indistinct form of the ships' spirit - both it's drive and mind - gestruing Sora out of the rain on deck. The wind had started to pick up, not quite bad enough to not fly at all, but the visibility was poor, to say the least.
 
[21:30] * Aiying attached herself to Sora, really, at least when 'something interesting' came up. She popped up behind the shorter woman with a wave. "Sounded more fun then th'cabin!" She said brightly, even if she �was� soaked.
 
[21:31] <@Remnant_GM> (Oh - a couple of questions, too, for everyone: would you prefer to be referred to in the second person or third person, and present tense or past tense?)
 
[21:33] * +Sora_Kawaguchi gratefully walked in from the rain, "Thank you, may your winds ever be gAH-ah, hello Lady Aiying..." The woman was slightly maddening, popping in and out like a capricious summer breeze.
 
[21:36] <Maxwell> (Third person, and either tense works for me.)
 
[21:36] <+Sora_Kawaguchi> (I tend to favor third person past tense as if telling the story later on but anything is fine.)
 
[21:38] <@Remnant_GM> "Oh, there you are, girl- Thoth's teeth! At least wear some proper clothing if you're going out in the rain, ma'am!" Captain Red averts his eyes from the second soaked figure. "There's something out in the clouds, I can feel it. I don't want you going out quite yet, but prep your hippogriff, will you? That storm's not natural."
 
[21:38] <Aileen> (I third person works better for the log and because we are a group. ^-^)
 
[21:39] <@Remnant_GM> (All right, past tense, then! Third person.)
 
[21:40] * Aiying smiles. It's not bad when you've something to warm you up," she said, nimbly flipping a flask in the air before catching it - and taking a quick drink. "I have more clothing to change into when we're out of the rain, anyways," she said, skipping any mention of the word 'proper'.
 
[21:41] * +Sora_Kawaguchi nods, "Your crew are used to the ebbs and flows of these skies and I've noticed a current of unease. I think they all sense something is off as well, you have a good crew. I will be ready, you merely need to say the word and I shall take to the skies." She didn't leave yet, lingering to make sure the captain had nothing else to say or request. As for Aiying, the woman was tried
 
[21:41] * +Sora_Kawaguchi to ignore the casual alcohol abuse and improper clothing.
 
[21:44] <@Remnant_GM> The captain stared out at the billowing sails, filled with wind, towards the mushroom-shaped floating tower ahead. It was only a small hands-width across for the moment, barely visible in the gathering stormclouds. Though it appeared some folks had their minds on closer matters - Mitigation let out a chiming peal of laughter, her form obscuring most of Aiying's - most likely for modesty, no doubt. "Storm's coming. And- could you try not endangering all your limbs today, ma'am? I'd rather not have all of the Strip after me when I head back."
 
[21:45] * Aiying giggles. "THey'll just say I ran out of luck or something witty," she said, replacing the flask without taking another drink. "If I fell off the ship, it's my own fault."
 
[21:47] * +Sora_Kawaguchi nods, "I'll be ready to rescue you when that occurs, of course. Was there anything else, Captain?"
 
[21:49] <@Remnant_GM> "Just for the moment." The elf taps the wheel, testing the pull of the wind. "I don't like this one bit."
 
[21:49] <@Remnant_GM> And the ship continued.
 
[21:50] <@Remnant_GM> Emberflash, then; where diplomacy and distrust came hand in hand.
 
[21:51] * +Sora_Kawaguchi nods and goes to prepare her mount and equipment, getting in the saddle with her Nodachi held in one hand and supported by a stirup.
 
[21:55] * Aiying gives a grin and another silly wave before leaving - she doesn't need to get equipment, but she'll wait near Sora to keep her mount company before Sora returns, but mostly waiting to see if they go somewhere.
 
[21:56] <@Remnant_GM> Emberflash; The orientation of this miniature academy would confuse anyone - the sky was down and the ground was up. Gravity was up too, making actually leaving the town a tad difficult - but people seemed to manage. -Enough of that, though - "Ahoy, Maxwell!" A thin, wiry man called down from one of the upper (?) floors of the tower.
 
[21:56] <@Remnant_GM> "Can you hear the alarums? It sounds like quite a racket, don't you think?" Ansev Freichard, Maxwell's wingman and fellow griffin knight, calls out, waving from one of the windows.
 
[21:59] * Maxwell turns away from the window - from which he was observing the foreboding storm beside Carlana, his own gryphon - and up to Ansev. "Something's happened, then?" he calls back, "Are we to take flight, or have you not heard anything from Father Tomberry yet?"
 
[22:04] <@Remnant_GM> "Father Tomberry's called for us; I hear some of the guards are making a sortie to investigate something. Of course, us being their honoured guests, it would be most incorrect of us as griffin paladins to show them up. Not least since they're clearly of such high skill and training." Right on cue, a rushing person holding two helmets and a breastplate tripped, sending the items scattering into the air for a moment, slowly floating back to the "ground".
 
[22:07] * Maxwell takes a moment to turn towards the source of the subdued clattering, then returns his focus to Ansev and nods firmly. "Duly noted. I'll be right there," he says with a salute before walking over to the clumsy armsbearer and offering a hand to help them up, motioning Carlana to follow him on the way.
 
[22:12] <@Remnant_GM> The weather's not yet at the point of raining on the city of Emberflash; fortunately, most of the rain trickled away from the city, protected from the watery bombardment by the mushroom dome above it. So it is with moderate dryness that Carlana and Maxwell met near the military docks, where Ansev had lead the pair - wearing full armour, surprisingly. Or perhaps not. "That's odd. I distinctly remember Father Tonberry mentioning the military dock..." Sir Freichard shrugs, turning to stare at the five mages in a boat being lectured - instructed? -nearby.
 
[22:15] <Maxwell> "Perhaps he's still busy back in the main city?" suggests Maxwell, looking around. "Of course we don't want him unguarded in that case... More to the point though, where are the rear claws?"
 
[22:19] * AncientSpark (Mibbit@38-961-844-385.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client�)
 
[22:21] <@Remnant_GM> "Possibly, possibly," the knight replied. "I believe they were with him. Though... there's an odd thing. They're arming the fire towers, but all they've got to go see what they think's the problem is a single skiff with a golem and some - clearly highly trained warrior-mages." One of the mages could be seen fidgeting from here. The instructor doesn't hold back on his voice - "And - listen, I don't want any lip out of you! One unnatural stormcloud, right behind a ship. Scrying isn't picking up anything, so it's up to you. Intercept it, see what the deaths is going on. You've got sending scrolls, report back as soon as you see. We don't want any accidents occuring, do we?"
 
[22:26] * Maxwell slowly nods. "Mm. That is somewhat concerning," he notes, rubbing his chin. "Well, so long as the Father's under guard and one of us keeps the docks open... Would you mind particularly if I went out to survey with them?"
 
[22:30] <@Remnant_GM> "Oh? Well, what us knights do on our break shouldn't be a problem, should it? In fact, I think I should take a break as well... what do you say, Ecks?" Ansev's griffin squarks, most likely in agreement. "Well, since that's settled-" "Hold, Sir Knights!" -That - that was Naime, coming in to land. "Didn't Father Tomberry tell you NOT to go down to the docks?" she said exasperatedly.
 
[22:33] * Maxwell stiffly salutes to Naime. "Apparently there was a miscommunication down the line," he admits with an aside glance to Ansev. "Our sincere apologies. However, for what reason were we to stay clear of the docks?"
 
[22:37] <@Remnant_GM> Naime Tomberry; a rear claw. Gryphon knights operate in fours, usually - two front claws and two rear claws, so as always to have someone back them up. She salutes back, glancing over with a long-suffering look to Ansev. "He officially didn't want you to go out, and would prefer you to have stayed in the tower guarding him. He's a bit worried about all the guards on edg-" "So, unofficially, it's all right, then?" Ansev leans forward, curious. "That's not what he said-" "We're off duty, and it's every griffin Knight's responsibility to keep their griffons exercised. We should be responsible, isn't that right, Maxwell?"
 
[22:41] * Maxwell casts another aside glance to Ansev without a word before clearing his throat. "To be perfectly honest, whatever has the city nervous has been making me nervous too. Guarding Father Tomberry is important, but I'd like to see what the city - and by extension we - are looking at. You go ahead and return to the Father, and I'll report back shortly." He fires off another salute, then strides towards the boat, addressing the instructor. "Ahoy.
 
[22:44] <@Remnant_GM> "But-" From behind Maxwell he could hear her still.  "He said if the town falls you could best protect the citizens by being here-" "Don't worry, Naime! That's what you're here for! You and Sir Maledict! You'll do fantastically, I'm sure."
 
[22:44] <@Remnant_GM> The instructor turns - "Can't you see we're in- oh, Sir Knight, what brings you out here?"
 
[22:48] <Maxwell> "If the city's in danger, I'll be riding ahead of the storm to aid!" Maxwell calls back briefly before returning to the instructor. "The situation has us on alert as well, so I'd like to join in the reconnaissance efforts for everyone's sake. Plus, it's probably better to have something more nimble than a ship surveying the inside of the storm, don't you think?"
 
[22:52] <@Remnant_GM> "Well... we're not exactly the best equipped to scout out, I'm afraid. Are you sure your gryphons will be all right? I think these numbskulls would be glad to have help, but only if you're all right with that. Sir." The instructor looked vaguely familiar - was he one of those at one of the refectory meals? "We'd welcome both of you to help out - we've got an incoming ship, and think it might be dragging the storm along with it."
 
[22:55] <Maxwell> "All the better to support, then. And don't worry, the Gryphon Knights are trained for aerial combat in the worst of situations. Carlana, come!" Maxwell calls to his gryphon as he comes aboard. "Naime, Ansev, I entrust Father Tomberry to you!"
 
[22:57] * AncientSpark (Mibbit@38-961-844-385.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com) has joined #RemnantWings
 
[22:57] <AncientSpark> Okay, enough moving, time to spy for real~
 
[22:57] <AncientSpark> Wait, I don't know game IP and password `-`
 
[22:58] <AncientSpark> That's awkward
 
[22:58] <Maxwell> (We're playing in here for now, actually.)
 
[22:58] <AncientSpark> (Ah, I see, my bad)
 
[22:58] <@Remnant_GM> "Sure you don't want me to c- well, I'm sure you'll be fine!" Ansev waves, shrugging. "Make sure you've got his back, you hear? I want him back in one piece!" Some of the mages wave back as the skiff sets off - it's a fairly small ship, barely seating all six of them and the griffin. "Hello, Sir! What's your name? Are you Maxwell, or that other bloke?"
 
[23:00] <Maxwell> "I am indeed Sir Maxwell Kharvast of the Gryphon Knights, at your service." he answers with a smile before patting his gryphon's side. "And this is Carlana. Apologies for the tight fit, but we'll give you some breathing room once we've closed in on the storm."
 
[23:03] <@Remnant_GM> "That's all right, Sir. We're the finest full elemental squad of EmberFlash, no worries there! Er, she won't bite, will she?" Five men and women, mostly grinning, as well as one brown golem, unsmiling. "Just call us Squad 1. Earth - fire - air - metal - water, that's us! You' know what we're after, right?"
 
[23:07] <Maxwell> "I hadn't heard all the details, actually. I'm just assuming it was whatever shouldn't belong in a storm. If there's another ship out there, it'd probably be best to ascertain their safety as well." He pauses, then adds, "No, she won't bite unless you annoy her."
 
[23:10] <@Remnant_GM> "Ah, that's good... I guess. Well, we don't know what we're after either - if the ship comes up clean, we're going to see if we can't dispel the storm a bit with some scrolls - it shouldn't affect the city, but then again, best not to take chances, eh?" He grins at the others as the skiff picks up speed, heading at a fairly brisk pace into the darkened sky. "So! Care to tell us of some of your exploits, sir Knight?" This may be a long hour...
 
[23:10] <@Remnant_GM> Back, back to the boat at last.
 
[23:14] <@Remnant_GM> The ship stayed just abreast of the storm, fortunately - tension had started to die down as their destination grew closer. "I think I see something up ahead?" A cry from the watchman. Want to take a look, Aiying, Sora? Perception checks.

[23:18] <Maxwell> (Just roll your own dice :P)
 
[23:21] <@Remnant_GM> There! Difficult to make out amongst the rain and the clouds, but the outline of a skiff can be seen, a flying creature nearby. "Looks like a welcoming party, sir?"
 
[23:22] <@Remnant_GM> "All right, then!" Red cries out. "They're probably friendly, but just in case - Sora, get ready to take off, will you?"
 
[23:26] * Aiying raises her hand. "I'll catch ya if you fall off," Aiying says with a grin, not suggesting she join her. A mount was something special. "Or 'im<' she said, pointing at the welcoming party.
 
[23:27] * +Sora_Kawaguchi gets ready to take off
 
[23:31] <@Remnant_GM> Near the skiff, on the other side of the viewpoint, Maxwell could see the vessel as it grew closer. It was unfortunate that this point was outlined as a flash of lightning crashes into the skiff, striking it amidships.
 
[23:33] * Maxwell squints to make out any details of the ship, thankfuly for a brief moment that they don't appear to be taking arms either to them or the storm behind them, but he quickly whips his head around as the lightning strikes, cursing and pulling back alongside the skiff. "Are you alright!? Can you still fly?!"
 
[23:34] <Maxwell> *-y
 
[23:36] <@Remnant_GM> The skiff slows as it starts smoking; one of the mages conjuring up further water to flood the fire out. "I think- Look ou-" The second bolt blows a hole clear through the barge, glittering feathers scattering on the winds as dust in a storm. The boat drops away, the golem with it - most of the crew only falling about 20, 30 feet before they trigger their own feathers, starting to be blown in all directions. "Use your Fly spells!"
 
[23:38] <@Remnant_GM> On the ship, the captain swears as lightning hits twice, the crew scattering. "Thoth's blood, if they don't have some way of moving around they're going to get scattered all over the place. Sora! See if you can't get them on board before they go too far!"
 
[23:39] * Aiying dashes out to the deck! "Don't worry 'bout lfying them down, just toss them over in my direction and trust to my luck!" She certainly made it out onto the deck in a hurry, and seems sure-footed in the rain.
 
[23:40] * Maxwell cringes and swoops down after the plummeting skiff to see if the golem can be recovered, reaching one hand into his pouch for feathers and keeping an eye on the mages in case any of them are in trouble.
 
[23:48] * +Sora_Kawaguchi does whatever is appropriate.
 
[23:50] <@Remnant_GM> "Woah- woah!" It looks like three of the five mages managed to cast properly; the other two didn't, starting to drift off course. One of the properly flying ones catches one; the other's being blown off course a bit too fast, or possibly the others haven't noticed him yet.
 
[23:53] <@Remnant_GM> "Help!" It's just about enough of a yell for the gryphon Maxwell rode to yank her head sideways, pointing him towards the tumbling mage.
 
[23:55] * +Sora_Kawaguchi goes to help the distressed mage indeed.
 
[23:55] * Maxwell looks up as Carlana does in surprise - and quickly throws a small handful of feathers in the golem's direction hoping it'll know what to do with them before he pulls back on the reins. "Up, Carlana, u--" he starts before the sight of Sora and her hippogriff moving to intercept enters his vision. "--Ah..."
 
[23:58] <@Remnant_GM> More lightning strikes flash down. It's too much to be normal - flash, flash, flash. The ship is struck, now; four, five, six times. A stray bolt hits a crew member as fires are put out; another strikes the pair of mages, who cry out. "We're under attack!" Someone cries.
 
Session Time: Sun Oct 28 00:00:00 2012
 
[00:00] <@Remnant_GM> There's a surprised "oof!" as the adrift mage lands on Sora's saddle, tangling her reins momentarily; but the moment passes as she recovers. "What- who are you- no, wait, that's not natural lightning!"
 
[00:01] * +Sora_Kawaguchi looks around but, presumably, doesn't see anything, "I suspected as much but where could it be comming from?"
 
[00:03] <@Remnant_GM> Carlana turns again, screeching a call of defiance. She speeds upwards, an unseen target in her sights.
 
[00:04] * Maxwell covers his eyes as lightning streaks through the air all around him, hearing the cries from the struck mages and holding tight on the reins as Carlana shoots upward. He looks to the mages he's passing between, and quickly puts a hand to his pauldron with a faint glow, ending with a flash of warm energy outward into the group before speeding past. [Channel positive energy 3d6, burst executed within range of mages]
 
[00:05] <@Remnant_GM> "Aiying, help get the wounded inside! We're still being pounded out here!" The mages get on board after the healing burst; a few more desultory shots of lightning hit them, but they have the presence of mind to cast some energy resistance; still, they look pretty bashed up.
 
[00:06] <Aiying> "Not a problem, you know," Aiying called out with a laugh; mages who are wounded would simply be picked up over her shoulder (But allowed to pretend to be teetering along themselves. You know, if they had a personal pride problem), and she started bringing them inside as she watched for any more errant lightning strikes.
 
[00:09] * +Sora_Kawaguchi flies towards the ship, examining the mage riding with her for wounds.
 
[00:10] * Maxwell squints to see what it is in the stormclouds that Carlana's become so hostile toward, drawing his lance and letting the pennant flap wildly in the wind as a precaution
 
[00:12] <@Remnant_GM> "I'm fine, I'm fine, just drop me off!" The mage points upwards, squinting, casting something. "There's - birds? In this weather? He gestures again, balls magic scorching upwards. They zoom past - striking home one after another into a pair of small birds. Eagles, in a storm. They cry out, but do not fall.
 
[00:14] <@Remnant_GM> "The birds! The birds are the casters!" Sora heard that from the mage, as he jumps down onto the ship. Maxwell's already heading towards them at speed, however, as now the two flying attackers become clear to see once pointed out.
 
[00:16] * +Sora_Kawaguchi drops the mage on the ship, "I'll heal you later sir, sorry. The... birds seem a more immediate concern." Now that she could see them, she spurred her mount towards the nearest one at best speed, aiming to impale it with her polearm.
 
[00:17] <Maxwell> "Birds?" Maxwell blinks in confusion. However, Carlana was so quick to go into a frenzy over them, and he has no reason not to trust her, so he tightens his grip on his lance and focuses, trying to sense if a malign aura from the out-of-place creatures. [Detect evil]
 
[00:30] <@Remnant_GM> Sora shoots past Maxwell; alas, amidst the storm it's too difficult to pick them out quite so easily; the first bird squarks, flinching back along its flight path; it shimmers, and its claws burst alight with flames.
 
[00:36] <@Remnant_GM> The second bird cries out; it's wing twisted back; nearly torn off, as Maxwell's lance slashes past; Carlana not stopping as she whirls back on herself. Yet no malign presence announces itself even as it cuts past; even as the *other* bird cries out, almost as if in shock.
 
[00:38] <Maxwell> "What... nothing?" Maxwell murmurs in shock, letting his lance drift to the wayside before shifting one hand back to the reins and tugging firmly. "Stop! Carlana, stop!"
 
[00:39] <@Remnant_GM> It's about then that both riders and animals note the wind locally has picked up strongly; as if a localised tornado had caught the two of them. And the air itself seems to catch fire, as gouts of flame shoot from that self same tornado at both riders and mounts.
 
[00:45] <@Remnant_GM> Both riders are mostly safe from the flame; the wind seems to laugh at them, the spinning form heading meancingly towards both.
 
[00:47] * +Sora_Kawaguchi mutters an incantation in her native language, gesturing towards the spinning form, sending a bolt of radiant light at it.
 
[00:48] * Aiying starts moving on the ship; for wherever is beneath the birds, watching upwards closely.
 
[00:50] <@Remnant_GM> The air elemental - for that is what it is, or at least, has assumed the form of - roars as the bolts strike it dead on, piercing through it, disrupting the spinning fires. It seems to be fairly injured from that single stroke.
 
[00:51] <@Remnant_GM> The first eagle, still in a dive, sends fire splashing across the deck; yet this time Mitigation intercepts the damage, the fire splashing harmlessly about the spirit form. And then a gunshot rings out; the bird spirals downwards to land in front of Aiying - only to twist and warp into the shape of a lion before her.
 
[00:54] <@Remnant_GM> As it staggers to its feet, a single shuriken lodged in its chest bleeds freely, only to get punched in the face by a cheerful girl.
 
[00:55] * Aiying was trying to get back her flask which she had (accidentally) tossed in the air too! She just �happened� to stumble on the wet ground at the last moment, and her first knocked it into the face, and so did the girl, although the girl rebounded back off of it a moment later. "My flask!"
 
[00:55] <Maxwell> "Damnit, something's not right, here..." Maxwell mutters, reaching down from the reins to place a hand filled with warm healing energy upon Carlana's back while eyeing the other bird carefully. [Lay on hands 3d6]
 
[00:58] <@Remnant_GM> Once again, the gouts of fire shoot out; the winds buffeting Sora while the fire hits Maxwell.
 
[01:03] <@Remnant_GM> The elemental - somehow clumsy in its movements, sweeps past Sora as she maneuvers the hippogriff round the lunge; Maxwell is not so lucky - the blast hits him dead on. Yet his hold on the reins keep him steady in his seat.
 
[01:09] * Aiying drops her flask again - and winds up grappling with the lion with it. Or something. When he tries to block her hands, it's the flask; when he sees the flask and ignores the feint, the hand streaks out from behind it and nails him in tehs nout.
 
[01:13] <@Remnant_GM> The lion stares, groggy headed; it growls angrily, staggering back; trying to stay up. And then it breathes fire at Aiying; belching up a fireball across the showgirl.

[01:15] <Aiying> Remnant_GM �rolled 1 6-sided dice. �� <�10 1 �> �� Total: 1 (6).
 
[01:17] <@Remnant_GM> It's fortunate that the bottle that is bouncing around doesn't ignite, though the deck lights up once again. The mages are still struggling to get around to a clear shot; clearly a showgirl beating up a burning tiger is not as much fun to stop by firing upon. The flames still singe quite nastily, however.
 
[01:21] * +Sora_Kawaguchi exploits her mount's agility to turn and attack the off balance elemental with a fierce charge.
 
[01:39] <@Remnant_GM> Mid roar, the elemental's scream cuts out - the fire dies, the wispy body losing its spin, its coherency dissipating as the burning light from the charge sears across it once more - not quite dead, yet burnt enough to be knocked out - the winds carry it away, vanished as if into the air itself.
 
[01:45] <@Remnant_GM> And- at that moment, someone falls asleep. And from below the Mitigated Landing, the storm breaks - a shadowy form - long - long - vast - large enough to swallow up all of Emberflash in one gulp - sinuous trail snaking through the clouds - it emerges. A great white wyrm. A city eater wyrm, legless, mouth and tail and wings of steam, headed straight towards Emberflash.
 
[01:46] <Maxwell> Maxwell grunts in pain as the wave of heat hammers him in the chest, his chestplate smoking from the blast. "Damnit, Maxwell, focus! Eyes forward!" he growls before surveying Sora's attack against the hostile elemental force, and then... so very much more. "...Oh my god..." He quickly brings Carlana down onto the ship's deck, between the lion and Aiying. "Stop this right now! There is a misunderstanding going on and we've got much more to worry
 
[01:46] <Maxwell> about!" he shouts, pointing towards the wyrm. [Move action made, pending for response]
 
[01:50] * Aiying stops, now having (secured) her flask. "Well, I've got my flask back..." she says, tipping back to take a shot as she waits. [Swift Action: Drink! +6 Temp HP, +Drunken Ki Point]
 
[01:51] <Aiying> "No hard feelings, right, kitty?"
 
[01:52] <@Remnant_GM> The lion's response is to rake across Maxwell's back with a clawful of flame, spitting defiance and teeth at the knight. Below it lies the other bird, shot through the neck, limp on the deck.
 
[01:54] * Aiying shifts forward, her weight moving forward as her arm cocks back. "Bad kitty!" She calls out, looking like she's just going to give it a nice, firm, frost-augmented slap.
 
[01:54] * Maxwell winces and takes the brunt of the blast, quickly hopping off Carlana and motioning her away with one arm while holding his other in front of Aiying. "No. This is my fault. I should bear responsibility."
 
[01:55] * Aiying pauses. "Well, I can forgive a little fire; but, y'know, you look in pretty bad shape. Sure you want to turn down n'ally?"
 
[01:59] * +Sora_Kawaguchi growls, "Striking someone trying to arrange peace from the back? Whatever you are, you need to cool down slightly I believe!"
 
[01:00] * +Sora_Kawaguchi as she admonishes, she waves with her free hand as if punishing the lion with a smack that seems to just keep going invisibly to strike towards the lion HARD.
 
[01:03] <@Remnant_GM> As the lion bends down to seize the dead bird - the wave slaps into it and it staggers sideways before falling over with a thud that rumbles across the deck.
 
[01:05] * Maxwell stands deathly still for a moment, then heaves a heavy sigh and presses his own hand to his chest, delivering a flow of healing energy. "Alright, who's the captain here?" [Lay on hands @ self]
 
[01:05] * Aiying waves up to Sora. "Yeah, thanks~" she calls out. Before shifting to look at the wyrm. "And, y'know, just saying...that thing over there looks a little big," she says, pointing at the wyrm. "Oh, Red. Reeeeeeeeeeed!"
 
[01:10] <@Remnant_GM> "I can see it! You don't have to- what'n hell's that noise?" The mouth of the giant wyrm is starting to glow, a bright bright white. Even as Sora gathers the injured crew round her, healing them up, it's plainly visible on board the ship.
 
[01:15] <Maxwell> "What the...? Oh sweet--HIT THE DECK!" Maxwell shouts before grabbing Carlana by the reins and diving down against the scorched floors of the ship in case of any aftershocks.
 
[01:15] <@Remnant_GM> The ship tilts upwards abruptly, turning in the air like a lumbering whale. "Climb, you disaster! Stay away from the bow! Don't look!" Red barks out orders as he pulls back sharply on the controls.
 
[01:20] * Sora_Kawaguchi is now known as Shou_Toramaru
 
[01:20] * Aiying sways, crouching and going to a knee on the deck, but doesn't look. Well, it's probably a gaze attack of some kind, she figures.
 
[01:25] <@Remnant_GM> There's a brief pause as the light dims. And then the skies alight with a pure brilliant glow, for a single moment.
 
[01:25] <@Remnant_GM> -Session one of Remnant Wings, end-

Log Contents[edit]


[00:00] <Aileen> (voices)

[00:00] <Remnant_GM> Three places, converging. Five people, of special destiny. Not 'quite' the day that would change this shattered world again, but it was close enough.

[00:01] <Remnant_GM> ....Argh

[00:01] * Remnant_GM is now known as Yukari

[00:01] <Maxwell> (http://darkmyst.org/?page=faq-chanmodes should be helpful here)

[00:01] * Mode #RemnantWings +o Yukari by ChanServ

[00:01] * Yukari is now known as Remnant_GM

[00:01] <Maxwell> (also /msg chanserv help flags and so on)

[00:02] <Remnant_GM> (I should know about all these thing >_<

[00:02] <Maxwell> (And also http://darkmyst.org/?page=help-npc)

[00:03] <Maxwell> (Because for some reason you can't just do /npc blah blah blah, it has to be /npc :blah blah blah now. *shrug* Lousy coding.)

[00:06] <Maxwell> (and for general reference this should be useful for us http://darkmyst.org/?page=services-gameserv)

[00:06] <Maxwell> (Though Mima's got the dice roller so less of a big deal.)

[00:06] <Aiying> (I'm dice!)

[00:06] <Aileen> (Umm .. how do we handle OOC chat?)

[00:06] <Aiying> (They say my dice feasts on your tears, though. And #RW-OOC

[00:06] <Maxwell> (I think we're doing a good job of it right now but--okay?)

[00:07] <Remnant_GM> (I think we could probably keep it in here, but who'd prefer a separate channel for OOC?)

[00:07] <Sora_Kawaguchi> (Not a fan of separate channel personally)

[00:08] <Maxwell> (Depends on how noisy it gets in here?)

[00:10] <Remnant_GM> The ship, then. From their journey from the Strip, to the outpost of the Wreck, and now to Firebrandt, the Mitigated Landing, a heavily modified freighter of all legal cargo had been travelling for several weeks, now. It had been a week and a half since they'd lost one of their crew to a rather nasty bloodwing attack, and just over a week since the crew had picked up a temporary traveller

[00:10] <Remnant_GM> member in the form of Sora Kawaguchi, a hippogriff rider who'd been offered travel for helping guard the ship. Of course, stowed away on the ship too had been Aiying, a showgirl from the Wizard's Strip - or rather, had hijacked her way onto the ship through sort-of-legal kung fu. Not that the various guards, shotgunners and rifleers and assorted folk, nor the passengers - minded too much about.

[00:12] <Remnant_GM> As for the captain, Captain Red (Redvhorshire to those who knew him better) - most stayed out of the surly man's way, though keeping away from the attendant spirit, Mitigation, was another matter.

[00:14] <Remnant_GM> The sky has darkened; while there should only be a few hours until those on the ship reach their destination of Emberflash, one of the outlying tower-hamlets of the magical academy that made up Firebrandt, something in the air had put everyone's teeth on edge. And for the moment, Captain Red had called Sora up to the small bridge of the airship.

[00:15] <Remnant_GM> (Aiying can tag along, if she wishes - she's grudgingly been given room to do whatever she wishes, short of throwing anything overboard)

[00:16] * Sora_Kawaguchi had felt it would be best to help the crew, who had already lost a member, to make the rest of the travel safely. That it also provided her with an easier long distance travel was an extra reason to agree to those conditions. She would have helped anyway but she never quite mentioned that fact. With the feeling of menace of the air that was permeating now, she hurried to answer the call, knocking at the man's door with a strong fist.

[00:20] <Remnant_GM> Just to note, we'll mostly probably handle ooc in the main channel in brackets, though if you do have to say something extendd here's the place to mention it!

[00:20] <Maxwell> Mmkay. :o

[00:20] <Remnant_GM> Also, did Aiying want to jump on in, or is it raining too hard? :'D

[00:20] <Aiying> Oh, rain? She's fine with that!

[00:21] <Aiying> So should I attach to Sora?

[00:21] <Aiying> (I missed the message, nevermind)

[00:21] <Remnant_GM> The door swings open, allowing entry - Mitigation stood - or more precisely - hovered behind, the indistinct form of the ships' spirit - both it's drive and mind - gestruing Sora out of the rain on deck. The wind had started to pick up, not quite bad enough to not fly at all, but the visibility was poor, to say the least.

[00:22] * Aiying attached herself to Sora, really, at least when 'something interesting' came up. She popped up behind the shorter woman with a wave. "Sounded more fun then th'cabin!" She said brightly, even if she was soaked.

[00:23] <Remnant_GM> (Oh - a couple of questions, too, for everyone: would you prefer to be referred to in the second person or third person, and present tense or past tense?)

[00:24] <Aiying> Aiying is too awesome for your puny pronouns!

[00:25] <Remnant_GM> All right~

[00:25] * Sora_Kawaguchi gratefully walked in from the rain, "Thank you, may your winds ever be gAH-ah, hello Lady Aiying..." The woman was slightly maddening, popping in and out like a capricious summer breeze.

[00:28] <Maxwell> (Third person, and either tense works for me.)

[00:28] <Sora_Kawaguchi> (I tend to favor third person past tense as if telling the story later on but anything is fine.)[13:38] <Aiying> (Naw, really, I only prefer Aiying just so it's clear who is being addressed)

[00:30] <Aiying> For tenses, don't care.

[00:30] <Aileen> (I third person works better for the log and because we are a group. ^-^)

[00:30] <Remnant_GM> "Oh, there you are, girl- Thoth's teeth! At least wear some proper clothing if you're going out in the rain, ma'am!" Captain Red averts his eyes from the second soaked figure. "There's something out in the clouds, I can feel it. I don't want you going out quite yet, but prep your hippogriff, will you? That storm's not natural."

[00:31] <Remnant_GM> (All right, past tense, then! Third person.)

[00:32] * Aiying smiles. It's not bad when you've something to warm you up," she said, nimbly flipping a flask in the air before catching it - and taking a quick drink. "I have more clothing to change into when we're out of the rain, anyways," she said, skipping any mention of the word 'proper'.

[00:33] * Sora_Kawaguchi nods, "Your crew are used to the ebbs and flows of these skies and I've noticed a current of unease. I think they all sense something is off as well, you have a good crew. I will be ready, you merely need to say the word and I shall take to the skies." She didn't leave yet, lingering to make sure the captain had nothing else to say or request. As for Aiying, the woman was tried

[00:33] * Sora_Kawaguchi to ignore the casual alcohol abuse and improper clothing.

[00:34] <Aiying> Aiying: This alcohol gives me a +2 bonus to the Fort and Reflex saves I bet I'll need to be making today!"

[00:35] <Maxwell> Hehe.

[00:35] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Sora will still disaprove very obviously while politely refraining from saying anything in the most japanese fashion.

[00:35] <Remnant_GM> Oho~

[00:35] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Plus, I seem to recall Yukari mentioning a bit of prejudice

[00:35] <Aiying> Yup

[00:36] <Remnant_GM> The captain stared out at the billowing sails, filled with wind, towards the mushroom-shaped floating tower ahead. It was only a small hands-width across for the moment, barely visible in the gathering stormclouds. Though it appeared some folks had their minds on closer matters - Mitigation let out a chiming peal of laughter, her form obscuring most of Aiying's - most likely for modesty,

[00:36] <Remnant_GM> no doubt. "Storm's coming. And- could you try not endangering all your limbs today, ma'am? I'd rather not have all of the Strip after me when I head back."

[00:37] <Maxwell> Keep all arms, legs, fists and polearms inside the vehicle at all times.

[00:37] * Aiying giggles. "THey'll just say I ran out of luck or something witty," she said, replacing the flask without taking another drink. "If I fell off the ship, it's my own fault."

[00:39] * Aileen (Chigai_On@f802n415q.dip.t-dialin.net) has joined #RW-OOC

[00:39] * Sora_Kawaguchi nods, "I'll be ready to rescue you when that occurs, of course. Was there anything else, Captain?"

[00:40] <Remnant_GM> All right~ Since we are all here, then a separate OOC channel

[00:41] <Maxwell> Aiying, give the nice GM their ops. :o

[00:41] * Mode #RW-OOC -o Remnant_GM by Aiying

[00:41] <Sora_Kawaguchi> OPs are OP

[00:41] * Mode #RW-OOC +o Remnant_GM by Aiying

[00:41] * Mode #RW-OOC +v Aiying by Aiying

[00:41] * Mode #RW-OOC -o Aiying by Aiying

[00:41] <Aiying> I like +s, though.

[00:41] * Aiying keeps it

[00:41] <Remnant_GM> "Just for the moment." The elf taps the wheel, testing the pull of the wind. "I don't like this one bit."

[00:41] <Remnant_GM> And the ship continued.

[00:42] <Remnant_GM> \o/

[00:42] <Remnant_GM> Emberflash, then; where diplomacy and distrust came hand in hand.

[00:43] <Maxwell> Here goes. Haven't done nearly enough RPing so I hope I'm not too rusty.

[00:43] * Sora_Kawaguchi nods and goes to prepare her mount and equipment, getting in the saddle with her Nodachi held in one hand and supported by a stirup.

[00:44] <Remnant_GM> You'll be fine~

[00:47] * Aiying gives a grin and another silly wave before leaving - she doesn't need to get equipment, but she'll wait near Sora to keep her mount company before Sora returns, but mostly waiting to see if they go somewhere.

[00:48] <Sora_Kawaguchi> oh god, upside down town.

[00:48] <Sora_Kawaguchi> You really did it.

[00:48] <Remnant_GM> Emberflash; The orientation of this miniature academy would confuse anyone - the sky was down and the ground was up. Gravity was up too, making actually leaving the town a tad difficult - but people seemed to manage. -Enough of that, though - "Ahoy, Maxwell!" A thin, wiry man called down from one of the upper (?) floors of the tower.

[00:48] <Remnant_GM> "Can you hear the alarums? It sounds like quite a racket, don't you think?" Ansev Freichard, Maxwell's wingman and fellow griffin knight, calls out, waving from one of the windows.

[00:49] <Remnant_GM> Oh, this is just the one~ There's quite a few of the upside down towers, as well as the main city~

[00:50] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Sora is going to look at it and consider it another example of 'Gaijin are weird didjaknowthat?'

[00:50] <Remnant_GM> They're weird? Why are you standing on the ceiling, then?

[00:51] <Sora_Kawaguchi> The gods have oriented gravity as they have for a reason. Who are you to go against divine decree?

[00:51] * Maxwell turns away from the window - from which he was observing the foreboding storm beside Carlana, his own gryphon - and up to Ansev. "Something's happened, then?" he calls back, "Are we to take flight, or have you not heard anything from Father Tomberry yet?"

[00:52] <Maxwell> Gah, definitely a bit rusty still. @_@

[00:53] <Sora_Kawaguchi> it's fine~

[00:54] <Remnant_GM> Rusty? Like a paladin's sense of humour, perhaps~?

[00:54] <Maxwell> Hah.

[00:56] <Remnant_GM> "Father Tomberry's called for us; I hear some of the guards are making a sortie to investigate something. Of course, us being their honoured guests, it would be most incorrect of us as griffin paladins to show them up. Not least since they're clearly of such high skill and training." Right on cue, a rushing person holding two helmets and a breastplate tripped, sending the items scattering

[00:56] <Remnant_GM> into the air for a moment, slowly floating back to the "ground".

[00:59] * Maxwell takes a moment to turn towards the source of the subdued clattering, then returns his focus to Ansev and nods firmly. "Duly noted. I'll be right there," he says with a salute before walking over to the clumsy armsbearer and offering a hand to help them up, motioning Carlana to follow him on the way.

[01:04] <Remnant_GM> The weather's not yet at the point of raining on the city of Emberflash; fortunately, most of the rain trickled away from the city, protected from the watery bombardment by the mushroom dome above it. So it is with moderate dryness that Carlana and Maxwell met near the military docks, where Ansev had lead the pair - wearing full armour, surprisingly. Or perhaps not. "That's odd. I distinctly

[01:04] <Remnant_GM> remember Father Tonberry mentioning the military dock..." Sir Freichard shrugs, turning to stare at the five mages in a boat being lectured - instructed? -nearby.

[01:07] <Maxwell> "Perhaps he's still busy back in the main city?" suggests Maxwell, looking around. "Of course we don't want him unguarded in that case... More to the point though, where are the rear claws?"

[01:13] <Remnant_GM> "Possibly, possibly," the knight replied. "I believe they were with him. Though... there's an odd thing. They're arming the fire towers, but all they've got to go see what they think's the problem is a single skiff with a golem and some - clearly highly trained warrior-mages." One of the mages could be seen fidgeting from here. The instructor doesn't hold back on his voice - "And - listen,

[01:13] <Remnant_GM> I don't want any lip out of you! One unnatural stormcloud, right behind a ship. Scrying isn't picking up anything, so it's up to you. Intercept it, see what the deaths is going on. You've got sending scrolls, report back as soon as you see. We don't want any accidents occuring, do we?"

[01:18] * Maxwell slowly nods. "Mm. That is somewhat concerning," he notes, rubbing his chin. "Well, so long as the Father's under guard and one of us keeps the docks open... Would you mind particularly if I went out to survey with them?"

[01:22] <Remnant_GM> "Oh? Well, what us knights do on our break shouldn't be a problem, should it? In fact, I think I should take a break as well... what do you say, Ecks?" Ansev's griffin squarks, most likely in agreement. "Well, since that's settled-" "Hold, Sir Knights!" -That - that was Naime, coming in to land. "Didn't Father Tomberry tell you NOT to go down to the docks?" she said exasperatedly.

[01:25] * Maxwell stiffly salutes to Naime. "Apparently there was a miscommunication down the line," he admits with an aside glance to Ansev. "Our sincere apologies. However, for what reason were we to stay clear of the docks?"

[01:28] <Maxwell> Clearly Ansev just feels like every day is opposite day.

[01:29] <Remnant_GM> Every day is say the right thing to say day to Ansev.

[01:29] <Remnant_GM> Naime Tomberry; a rear claw. Gryphon knights operate in fours, usually - two front claws and two rear claws, so as always to have someone back them up. She salutes back, glancing over with a long-suffering look to Ansev. "He officially didn't want you to go out, and would prefer you to have stayed in the tower guarding him. He's a bit worried about all the guards on edg-" "So, unofficially,

[01:29] <Remnant_GM> it's all right, then?" Ansev leans forward, curious. "That's not what he said-" "We're off duty, and it's every griffin Knight's responsibility to keep their griffons exercised. We should be responsible, isn't that right, Maxwell?"

[01:33] * Maxwell casts another aside glance to Ansev without a word before clearing his throat. "To be perfectly honest, whatever has the city nervous has been making me nervous too. Guarding Father Tomberry is important, but I'd like to see what the city - and by extension we - are looking at. You go ahead and return to the Father, and I'll report back shortly." He fires off another salute, then strides towards the boat, addressing the instructor. "Ahoy. Would you like some assistance surveying the storms?"

[01:36] <Remnant_GM> "But-" From behind Maxwell he could hear her still. "He said if the town falls you could best protect the citizens by being here-" "Don't worry, Naime! That's what you're here for! You and Sir Maledict! You'll do fantastically, I'm sure."

[01:36] <Remnant_GM> The instructor turns - "Can't you see we're in- oh, Sir Knight, what brings you out here?"

[01:40] <Maxwell> "If the city's in danger, I'll be riding ahead of the storm to aid!" Maxwell calls back briefly before returning to the instructor. "The situation has us on alert as well, so I'd like to join in the reconnaissance efforts for everyone's sake. Plus, it's probably better to have something more nimble than a ship surveying the inside of the storm, don't you think?"

[01:44] <Remnant_GM> "Well... we're not exactly the best equipped to scout out, I'm afraid. Are you sure your gryphons will be all right? I think these numbskulls would be glad to have help, but only if you're all right with that. Sir." The instructor looked vaguely familiar - was he one of those at one of the refectory meals? "We'd welcome both of you to help out - we've got an incoming ship, and think it

[01:44] <Remnant_GM> might be dragging the storm along with it."

[01:45] <Remnant_GM> Gah. I'd written most of this out already argh >_>

[01:47] <Maxwell> Hm?

[01:47] <Remnant_GM> I'd had some canned speeches, they were in the file that went missing

[01:47] <Maxwell> Ah. x_x;

[01:47] <Maxwell> "All the better to support, then. And don't worry, the Gryphon Knights are trained for aerial combat in the worst of situations. Carlana, come!" Maxwell calls to his gryphon as he comes aboard. "Naime, Ansev, I entrust Father Tomberry to you!"

[01:50] <Remnant_GM> "Sure you don't want me to c- well, I'm sure you'll be fine!" Ansev waves, shrugging. "Make sure you've got his back, you hear? I want him back in one piece!" Some of the mages wave back as the skiff sets off - it's a fairly small ship, barely seating all six of them and the griffin. "Hello, Sir! What's your name? Are you Maxwell, or that other bloke?"

[01:52] <Maxwell> "I am indeed Sir Maxwell Kharvast of the Gryphon Knights, at your service." he answers with a smile before patting his gryphon's side. "And this is Carlana. Apologies for the tight fit, but we'll give you some breathing room once we've closed in on the storm."

[01:54] <Aileen> Aww...

[01:54] * AncientSpark (Mibbit@38-961-844-385.dhcp.stls.mo.charter.com) has joined #RW-OOC

[01:54] * Aileen hugs.

[01:55] <Remnant_GM> "That's all right, Sir. We're the finest full elemental squad of EmberFlash, no worries there! Er, she won't bite, will she?" Five men and women, mostly grinning, as well as one brown golem, unsmiling. "Just call us Squad 1. Earth - fire - air - metal - water, that's us! You' know what we're after, right?"

[01:56] <Remnant_GM> It's ok~ Just means I'll be ever so slightly slower~

[01:56] <Maxwell> I wonder what happened to it. If the file record got corrupted, you might be able to recover it by scanning the disk for errors. If it dumps allocation tables for you to sort through, it'd be worth sifting through the plaintext data in them.

[01:56] <Remnant_GM> I just can't find the file itself for some reason

[01:59] <Maxwell> "I hadn't heard all the details, actually. I'm just assuming it was whatever shouldn't belong in a storm. If there's another ship out there, it'd probably be best to ascertain their safety as well." He pauses, then adds, "No, she won't bite unless you annoy her."

[02:02] <Remnant_GM> "Ah, that's good... I guess. Well, we don't know what we're after either - if the ship comes up clean, we're going to see if we can't dispel the storm a bit with some scrolls - it shouldn't affect the city, but then again, best not to take chances, eh?" He grins at the others as the skiff picks up speed, heading at a fairly brisk pace into the darkened sky. "So! Care to tell us of some of your exploits, sir Knight?" This may be a long hour...

[02:02] <Remnant_GM> Back, back to the boat at last.

[02:03] <Remnant_GM> Oh, Temia, if there's any questions you want to ask the squad, you can ask in OOC or in PMs for the moment

[02:03] * Aiying is ON A BOAT.

[02:03] <AncientSpark> ON A BOAT

[02:04] <Remnant_GM> Ship ._.

[02:04] <Maxwell> LOOK AT US CUZ' WE'RE SAILING ON A BOAT

[02:04] <Maxwell> Now I wonder where Aileen is... guess we'll figure that out in due time. o3o

[02:06] <Remnant_GM> Is anyone unfamiliar with how to make skill checks?

[02:06] <Sora_Kawaguchi> I should mention at this point

[02:06] <Sora_Kawaguchi> I -completely- forgot how to

[02:06] <Aiying> `roll 1d20+9

[02:06] <Aiying> ...I think

[02:06] <Aiying> `dice 1d20+9

[02:06] <Maxwell> Roll 1d20 with the modifier of the relevant skill

[02:06] <Remnant_GM> The ship stayed just abreast of the storm, fortunately - tension had started to die down as their destination grew closer. "I think I see something up ahead?" A cry from the watchman. Want to take a look, Aiying, Sora? Perception checks.

[02:07] <Maxwell> And I guess any circumstantial bonuses or penalties that apply

[02:07] <Remnant_GM> Um. I was actually going to use your dicebot for that, Aiying ^^;

[02:07] * Remnant_GM hasn't figured out how to activate dice

[02:07] <Aiying> `roll #RW-OOC 1d20+9

[02:07] <Maxwell> Lay off it for now :P Use your bot, Mima

[02:07] <Remnant_GM> 1d10 ?

[02:07] <Aiying> Remnant_GM rolled 1 10-sided dice. < 3 > Total: 3 (3).

[02:07] <Maxwell> We can look up the gameserv activation later.

[02:07] <Sora_Kawaguchi> `roll 1d20+3

[02:07] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+3

[02:07] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 17 > Total: 17 (20).

[02:08] <Aiying> I think channel needs to be regged.

[02:08] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20+9). < 13 > Total: 13 (22).

[02:09] <Remnant_GM> Hmm... I think for now, roll in... here? I think

[02:09] <Remnant_GM> All right. I'll ask any skill checks to be rolled in here, instead of #remnantwings then

[02:10] <Aiying> `roll #RemnantWings 1d20+9

[02:10] <Maxwell> (Just roll your own dice :P)

[02:10] <Aiying> Ahah!

[02:10] <Aiying> That command will work if the channel is registered, an

[02:10] <Aiying> You have to enable GameServ

[02:10] <Aiying> And I did roll. I got a 22.

[02:10] * Maxwell nodnods.

[02:10] * Aiying was just testing.

[02:11] <Maxwell> Adding +N might be useful too, but perhaps not. It'd at least allow Yukari to stay as Yukari and fill in through the /scene command I guess? I dunno

[02:11] <Remnant_GM> I cannot into IRCing .-.

[02:12] <Remnant_GM> Oh, Maxwell also gets a roll

[02:12] <Maxwell> Does Carlana?

[02:12] <Remnant_GM> Yep

[02:12] <Maxwell> 1d20+2

[02:12] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 19 > Total: 19 (21).

[02:13] <Maxwell> 1d20+9 Carlana's roll

[02:13] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 5 > Total: 5 (14).

[02:13] <Maxwell> there there, birdie. There there.

[02:13] <Remnant_GM> There! Difficult to make out amongst the rain and the clouds, but the outline of a skiff can be seen, a flying creature nearby. "Looks like a welcoming party, sir?"

[02:14] <Maxwell> Carlana's totally the eyes and ears of Maxwell.

[02:14] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Ok, I have no idea who is being talked to now. you said back to boat but none of us is a sir

[02:14] <Remnant_GM> Oh, sorry, was still going on. He was calling out to Red, the captain

[02:14] <Remnant_GM> "All right, then!" Red cries out. "They're probably friendly, but just in case - Sora, get ready to take off, will you?"

[02:15] <Sora_Kawaguchi> who was?

[02:15] <Sora_Kawaguchi> there's no nouns

[02:15] <Maxwell> A random crewmember, I'm assuming.

[02:15] <Remnant_GM> The watchman, in this case. Sorry, I'll try to be clearer in future.

[02:15] <Maxwell> Ah, right. The watchman was mentioned earlier too.

[02:16] <Maxwell> Was about to mention that when I looked back to doublecheck.

[02:16] <Sora_Kawaguchi> ok, so what did we see? A creature? A skiff?

[02:17] <Maxwell> Presumably both, since Yukari didn't limit the information to either of you.

[02:17] <Remnant_GM> Both of you managed to see the skiff and the flying thing nearby - they're about 150 yards away at the moment

[02:17] <Remnant_GM> Feet away?

[02:17] <Remnant_GM> Feet away, not yards.

[02:18] <Sora_Kawaguchi> ...

[02:18] <Sora_Kawaguchi> ok

[02:18] <Sora_Kawaguchi> let me explain

[02:18] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Flying thing http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/Monticola_gularis_male_non-breeding_-_Khao_Yai.jpg/220px-Monticola_gularis_male_non-breeding_-_Khao_Yai.jpg

[02:18] <Sora_Kawaguchi> also a flying thing http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/snikrit/89b9f1bf3048728f76cfaadc9b234b67.jpg?v=241800

[02:18] * Aiying raises her hand. "I'll catch ya if you fall off," Aiying says with a grin, not suggesting she join her. A mount was something special. "Or 'im<' she said, pointing at the welcoming party.

[02:19] <Maxwell> I think it's reasonable to assume it's the size of a gryphon under these circumstances.

[02:19] <Remnant_GM> Something between the two.

[02:19] <Sora_Kawaguchi> should we? I asked -because- I have no idea if it is what we are seeing

[02:19] <Sora_Kawaguchi> ugh, nevermind. Tell me if I should do something

[02:19] * Sora_Kawaguchi gets ready to take off

[02:20] <Aiying> Well. Give us a rough scale.

[02:20] <Aiying> Medium, Large, Gargantuan, Colossal? :D

[02:20] <Remnant_GM> Has Maxwell left the skiff, yes? And yes, it's the size of a gryphon. Large size, 5 by 10

[02:21] <Maxwell> We're close enough to the storm and the ship, so I'd say yes.

[02:21] <Maxwell> Based on the perception roll, what is Maxwell able to see, BTW?

[02:22] <Remnant_GM> He can see the outline of the ship, and he can see a few crew members on board. The hippogriff and Sora are slightly sheltered from the rain in a kennel sort of place, so is out of sight.

[02:22] <Maxwell> Alrighty.

[02:23] <Remnant_GM> Near the skiff, on the other side of the viewpoint, Maxwell could see the vessel as it grew closer. It was unfortunate that this point was outlined as a flash of lightning crashes into the skiff, striking it amidships.

[02:24] <Remnant_GM> 3d6

[02:24] <Aiying> Remnant_GM rolled 3 6-sided dice. < 1 3 5 > Total: 9 (9).

[02:25] <Remnant_GM> Whoops, got that wrong. Should have been 3d10

[02:25] <Remnant_GM> Well, anyway.

[02:25] <Remnant_GM> 3d10

[02:25] <Aiying> Remnant_GM rolled 3 10-sided dice. < 7 3 9 > Total: 19 (19).

[02:25] * Maxwell squints to make out any details of the ship, thankful for a brief moment that they don't appear to be taking arms either to them or the storm behind them, but he quickly whips his head around as the lightning strikes, cursing and pulling back alongside the skiff. "Are you alright!? Can you still fly?!"

[02:27] <Aiying> Do I need to make a Reflex Save?

[02:27] <Remnant_GM> It's hitting the skiff, not the ship, so no, it's fine

[02:28] <Remnant_GM> The skiff slows as it starts smoking; one of the mages conjuring up further water to flood the fire out. "I think- Look ou-" The second bolt blows a hole clear through the barge, glittering feathers scattering on the winds as dust in a storm. The boat drops away, the golem with it - most of the crew only falling about 20, 30 feet before they trigger their own feathers, starting to be blown in all directions. "Use your Fly spells!"

[02:30] <Remnant_GM> On the ship, the captain swears as lightning hits twice, the crew scattering. "Thoth's blood, if they don't have some way of moving around they're going to get scattered all over the place. Sora! See if you can't get them on board before they go too far!"

[02:31] * Aiying dashes out to the deck! "Don't worry 'bout lfying them down, just toss them over in my direction and trust to my luck!" She certainly made it out onto the deck in a hurry, and seems sure-footed in the rain.

[02:32] * Maxwell cringes and swoops down after the plummeting skiff to see if the golem can be recovered, reaching one hand into his pouch for feathers and keeping an eye on the mages in case any of them are in trouble.

[02:36] <Aileen> Hm .. 1d20 + caster level + cha is I think ..

[02:36] <Aileen> 1d20+10

[02:36] <Aiying> Aileen rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 2 > Total: 2 (12).

[02:36] <Aileen> XD

[02:36] <AncientSpark> So good~

[02:36] <Aileen> Pretty fitting somehow.

[02:37] <Aileen> I should have rolled and then written though >_<

[02:40] <Maxwell> Yukari? Shou? :o

[02:40] <Sora_Kawaguchi> I'm trying to get a straight answer to my questions

[02:40] <Sora_Kawaguchi> not going well

[02:40] * Sora_Kawaguchi does whatever is appropriate.

[02:41] <Sora_Kawaguchi> there

[02:41] <Aileen> Please keep in mind that a GM is insanely busy.

[02:42] <Remnant_GM> "Woah- woah!" It looks like three of the five mages managed to cast properly; the other two didn't, starting to drift off course. One of the properly flying ones catches one; the other's being blown off course a bit too fast, or possibly the others haven't noticed him yet.

[02:43] <Aileen> I am actually getting a small session of my own there too, even if it is much slower than yours.

[02:43] <Maxwell> Ah, okay :o

[02:44] <Maxwell> Gonna go ahead and roll perception to see if Maxwell can see Sora moving in to get the mages - particularly the one that's not doing so hot - as was ordered and is appropriate.

[02:44] <Maxwell> 1d20+2 for Maxwell

[02:44] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 9 > Total: 9 (11).

[02:45] <Maxwell> 1d20+9 for Carlana I guess since she can still bug him because someone riding flying food to her I guess? www

[02:45] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 4 > Total: 4 (13).

[02:45] <Remnant_GM> "Help!" It's just about enough of a yell for the gryphon Maxwell rode to yank her head sideways, pointing him towards the tumbling mage.

[02:46] <Remnant_GM> Whew. 13 just made it.

[02:47] * Sora_Kawaguchi goes to help the distressed mage indeed.

[02:47] * Maxwell looks up as Carlana does in surprise - and quickly throws a small handful of feathers in the golem's direction hoping it'll know what to do with them before he pulls back on the reins. "Up, Carlana, u--" he starts before the sight of Sora and her hippogriff moving to intercept enters his vision. "--Ah..."

[02:48] <Maxwell> Skiff's probably falling faster than the students due to a trashed engine outright, so the students are probably on higher, uh, ground? Than Max at the moment, I'd imagine.

[02:49] <Remnant_GM> The students aren't falling, yep. Max is under them.

[02:50] <Remnant_GM> One more round of perception checks from everyone, please?

[02:50] <Remnant_GM> (except Aileen)

[02:50] <Remnant_GM> More lightning strikes flash down. It's too much to be normal - flash, flash, flash. The ship is struck, now; four, five, six times. A stray bolt hits a crew member as fires are put out; another strikes the pair of mages, who cry out. "We're under attack!" Someone cries.

[02:51] <Maxwell> 1d20+2 Max

[02:51] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 11 > Total: 11 (13).

[02:51] <Maxwell> 1d20+9 Carlana

[02:51] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 19 > Total: 19 (28).

[02:51] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+3

[02:51] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 1 > Total: 1 (4).

[02:51] <Maxwell> Good birdie. *pat*

[02:51] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20+9). < 7 > Total: 7 (16).

[02:52] <Remnant_GM> There's a surprised "oof!" as the adrift mage lands on Sora's saddle, tangling her reins momentarily; but the moment passes as she recovers. "What- who are you- no, wait, that's not natural lightning!"

[02:53] * Sora_Kawaguchi looks around but, presumably, doesn't see anything, "I suspected as much but where could it be comming from?"

[02:55] <Remnant_GM> Carlana turns again, screeching a call of defiance. She speeds upwards, an unseen target in her sights.

[02:56] * Maxwell covers his eyes as lightning streaks through the air all around him, hearing the cries from the struck mages and holding tight on the reins as Carlana shoots upward. He looks to the mages he's passing between, and quickly puts a hand to his pauldron with a faint glow, ending with a flash of warm energy outward into the group before speeding past. [Channel positive energy 3d6, burst executed within range of mages]

[02:57] <Remnant_GM> (Roll energy channel?)

[02:57] <Remnant_GM> "Aiying, help get the wounded inside! We're still being pounded out here!" The mages get on board after the healing burst; a few more desultory shots of lightning hit them, but they have the presence of mind to cast some energy resistance; still, they look pretty bashed up.

[02:58] <Maxwell> 3d6

[02:58] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 3 6-sided dice. < 3 3 5 > Total: 11 (11).

[02:58] <Aiying> "Not a problem, you know," Aiying called out with a laugh; mages who are wounded would simply be picked up over her shoulder (But allowed to pretend to be teetering along themselves. You know, if they had a personal pride problem), and she started bringing them inside as she watched for any more errant lightning strikes.

[03:00] <Remnant_GM> Of the five mages, two are fine now, two are still fairly badly wounded, whoa re being taken inside. One's on Sora's saddle still.

[03:01] <Maxwell> Considering that it was a lightning strike? They're damn lucky all around, I'd say.

[03:01] <Remnant_GM> Eh, they had enough hit points to take one blast.

[03:01] <Sora_Kawaguchi> well, lighting spells are surprisingly non-instant-deathy

[03:01] * Sora_Kawaguchi flies towards the ship, examining the mage riding with her for wounds.

[03:02] <AncientSpark> Lightning's ONLY 3d6 :P

[03:02] * Maxwell squints to see what it is in the stormclouds that Carlana's become so hostile toward, drawing his lance and letting the pennant flap wildly in the wind as a precaution

[03:03] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Did I see the area Maxwell went towards?

[03:04] <Maxwell> 3d6 is probably all the mages HAVE in hitdice.

[03:04] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 3 6-sided dice. < 2 2 1 > Total: 5 (5).

[03:04] <Maxwell> No dicebot, shush

[03:04] <Remnant_GM> It's 3d10 outside in harsh weather!

[03:04] <Remnant_GM> I rolled low for that hit, actually

[03:04] <Maxwell> See? Damn lucky.

[03:04] <Remnant_GM> "I'm fine, I'm fine, just drop me off!" The mage points upwards, squinting, casting something. "There's - birds? In this weather? He gestures again, balls magic scorching upwards. They zoom past - striking home one after another into a pair of small birds. Eagles, in a storm. They cry out, but do not fall.

[03:05] <Sora_Kawaguchi> ...

[03:05] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Ok, yet again, I'm going to ask again

[03:05] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Is

[03:05] <Sora_Kawaguchi> the

[03:05] <Sora_Kawaguchi> mage

[03:05] <Sora_Kawaguchi> wounded?

[03:06] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Or if he won't let me examine him, at least say so

[03:06] <Sora_Kawaguchi> I'd like to be allowed to RP a bit according to my character's concept

[03:06] <Remnant_GM> Sorry, still typing aaaa

[03:06] <Remnant_GM> "The birds! The birds are the casters!" Sora heard that from the mage, as he jumps down onto the ship. Maxwell's already heading towards them at speed, however, as now the two flying attackers become clear to see once pointed out.

[03:07] <Remnant_GM> The mage is only slightly scorched - he's probably down a few hitpoints from the first strike of lightning but he is, as he said, mostly fine.

[03:07] <Sora_Kawaguchi> thank you

[03:08] * Sora_Kawaguchi drops the mage on the ship, "I'll heal you later sir, sorry. The... birds seem a more immediate concern." Now that she could see them, she spurred her mount towards the nearest one at best speed, aiming to impale it with her polearm.

[03:09] <Remnant_GM> Sora, Maxwell, roll initiatives please.

[03:09] <Maxwell> Ah, sure!

[03:09] <Maxwell> 1d20+1

[03:09] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 11 > Total: 11 (12).

[03:09] <Remnant_GM> You're both within charging distance, in this case.

[03:09] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+2

[03:09] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 14 > Total: 14 (16).

[03:09] <Maxwell> "Birds?" Maxwell blinks in confusion. However, Carlana was so quick to go into a frenzy over them, and he has no reason not to trust her, so he tightens his grip on his lance and focuses, trying to sense if a malign aura from the out-of-place creatures. [Detect evil]

[03:10] <Maxwell> Hmm. Charging distance does kind of have range over 100ft. away from detect evil's range. Aaahhh... whatever.

[03:11] <Remnant_GM> Initiative goes: Sora, bird 1, Maxwell, bird 2, ??? (unidentified)

[03:12] <Sora_Kawaguchi> do I need to repeat what I do?

[03:13] <Aiying> Question from Aiying: Has it been less then an hour since talking to the Captain?

[03:13] <Remnant_GM> Not yet - I'll describe what occurs, you'll need to roll an attack. Sorry, was just typing out stuff still

[03:13] <Remnant_GM> And it's been just under an hour

[03:13] <Sora_Kawaguchi> alright, what do I need to roll for a charge?

[03:14] <Sora_Kawaguchi> if you need it btw. http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/magical-beasts/hippogriff

[03:14] <Maxwell> Attack roll, with a +2 bonus from charging.

[03:14] <Sora_Kawaguchi> the weapon's roll or BAB?

[03:15] <Maxwell> 1d20 + BAB + 1.5x your strength (due to twohandedness) + any masterwork/enhancement bonuses on the weapon + 2 from charging, I guess

[03:15] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 10 > Total: 10 (10).

[03:15] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+11

[03:15] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 4 > Total: 4 (15).

[03:15] <AncientSpark> Wait, two-hands improve attack rolls in PF? O_o

[03:15] * Sora_Kawaguchi sighs

[03:15] <Maxwell> Oh wait

[03:15] <Maxwell> No, you're right. I wasn't thinking.

[03:15] <Sora_Kawaguchi> improves the effect of strength on the attack roll

[03:16] <AncientSpark> I was pretty sure two-hands is damage only

[03:16] <Remnant_GM> Technically I should be asking for ride stuff at the moment too but just to speed things along at the moment

[03:16] <Maxwell> Strength is multiplied by 1.5 on DAMAGE rolls for twohandedness.

[03:16] <Sora_Kawaguchi> oh, rihgt

[03:16] <Maxwell> Thanks, Spark.

[03:16] <Sora_Kawaguchi> anyway, use the regular weapon roll

[03:16] <Sora_Kawaguchi> *used

[03:16] <Remnant_GM> 4+...8.

[03:17] <Remnant_GM> Plus 2 from the charge

[03:17] <Maxwell> And 1 from masterwork.

[03:17] <Maxwell> So +11 is on the dot.

[03:17] <Remnant_GM> 15.

[03:18] <Aileen> Ah .. is Profession (Cook) a good choice for a skill? (1 rank)

[03:18] <Maxwell> If it's good enough for Belkar...

[03:19] <Remnant_GM> A single rank for fun stuff like that helps a fair bit

[03:19] <Sora_Kawaguchi> is she a cook?

[03:19] <Sora_Kawaguchi> if yes, then yes

[03:19] <Aileen> I think it fits a little with Aileen's background, but not sure.

[03:19] <Sora_Kawaguchi> especially since every class has it as class skill

[03:19] <Aileen> I just kind of have a single skillpoint left over.

[03:19] <Sora_Kawaguchi> then go for it and damn useful

[03:19] <Sora_Kawaguchi> concept trumps usefulness every time.

[03:20] <Aileen> Okay. ^-^

[03:21] <Sora_Kawaguchi> she's a professional cook then

[03:21] <Sora_Kawaguchi> interesting

[03:21] <AncientSpark> Certified by the cook's guild of *insert town here* :P

[03:22] <Aileen> Ah .. I kind of forgot to look at non class skills ..

[03:22] <Aileen> Only gave points into class skills. >_<

[03:22] <Remnant_GM> Maxwell, make a charge attack roll on the second bird. Sora, unfortunately your attack missed.

[03:22] <Maxwell> 1d20+13

[03:22] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 14 > Total: 14 (27).

[03:22] <Remnant_GM> Sora shoots past Maxwell; alas, amidst the storm it's too difficult to pick them out quite so easily; the first bird squarks, flinching back along its flight path; it shimmers, and its claws burst alight with flames.

[03:23] <Remnant_GM> Roll damage!

[03:23] <Sora_Kawaguchi> knew it, stupid dice

[03:23] <Maxwell> I forget, does charging add to damage...?

[03:23] <AncientSpark> Not by itself

[03:23] <Maxwell> Mmkay.

[03:24] <Remnant_GM> Spirited charge is douing double in this case

[03:24] <Maxwell> But the lance and spirited charge sure make it!

[03:24] <Maxwell> Lance does double on a charge too.

[03:24] <Maxwell> 3d8+21

[03:24] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 3 8-sided dice. < 2 1 2 > Total: 5 (26).

[03:24] <Sora_Kawaguchi> ...

[03:24] <Sora_Kawaguchi> +21 !!!?

[03:25] <Sora_Kawaguchi> holy shiznit balls on a stick

[03:25] <Aiying> Holy ow, but, hm

[03:25] <AncientSpark> Yeah, that's how mounted works

[03:25] <Aiying> +4 Str, +1 Weapon is +7 assuming it's two-handed...

[03:25] <Maxwell> Yep.

[03:25] <Aiying> There only has to be another 3 damage somewhere to double it and get up to around +20. But OW.

[03:25] <AncientSpark> No, it's a triple roll

[03:25] <Aiying> Oh

[03:25] <AncientSpark> Spirited charge and lances stack

[03:25] <Maxwell> Ah, just the variable dice?

[03:25] <AncientSpark> Up to 3x damage

[03:25] <Maxwell> I couldn't find anything specific in that regard, so

[03:26] <AncientSpark> The modifier is tripled too

[03:26] <Maxwell> Ah, okay.

[03:26] <AncientSpark> I'm just saying, it's not 2x, it's 3x, that's why it's all the way up to +21

[03:26] * Maxwell nodnods.

[03:27] <Maxwell> "I sure hope he rolls a 1 for damage." http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0121.html

[03:28] <Remnant_GM> The second bird cries out; it's wing twisted back; nearly torn off, as Maxwell's lance slashes past; Carlana not stopping as she whirls back on herself. Yet no malign presence announces itself even as it cuts past; even as the *other* bird cries out, almost as if in shock.

[03:30] <Maxwell> "What... nothing?" Maxwell murmurs in shock, letting his lance drift to the wayside before shifting one hand back to the reins and tugging firmly. "Stop! Carlana, stop!"

[03:31] <Remnant_GM> Sora, Maxwell, reflex saves, please.

[03:31] <Remnant_GM> 2d6

[03:31] <Aiying> Remnant_GM rolled 2 6-sided dice. < 3 2 > Total: 5 (5).

[03:31] <Maxwell> 1d20+6 Maxwell

[03:31] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 13 > Total: 13 (19).

[03:31] <Remnant_GM> It's about then that both riders and animals note the wind locally has picked up strongly; as if a localised tornado had caught the two of them. And the air itself seems to catch fire, as gouts of flame shoot from that self same tornado at both riders and mounts.

[03:32] <Maxwell> 1d20+10 Carlana

[03:32] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 3 > Total: 3 (13).

[03:32] <Maxwell> ...Totally Max's fault.

[03:33] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+7

[03:33] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 5 > Total: 5 (12).

[03:33] <Maxwell> Don't forget for the hippogriff too :o

[03:34] <Sora_Kawaguchi> GM didn't mention the mounts at all

[03:34] * Sora_Kawaguchi isn't going to presume.

[03:34] <Remnant_GM> Sora, you failed the test, but you can make a ride check to try to get the hippogriff to take the reflex save for you.

[03:35] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+5

[03:35] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 9 > Total: 9 (14).

[03:35] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+5

[03:35] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 16 > Total: 16 (21).

[03:35] <Remnant_GM> Just about makes it.

[03:35] <Sora_Kawaguchi> second is Mount's ref save

[03:35] <Remnant_GM> Got it.

[03:35] <Remnant_GM> Carlana now need to make a fort save

[03:36] <Maxwell> 1d20+11

[03:36] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 6 > Total: 6 (17).

[03:36] <Remnant_GM> Five damage to Carlana, 2 damage to the hippogriff for save for half.

[03:37] <Maxwell> Any damage to Maxwell?

[03:37] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 20 hp left if generic then

[03:37] <Remnant_GM> Generic for the moment still, yes. No damage to Maxwell, Carlana was in the way.

[03:37] <Remnant_GM> Both riders are mostly safe from the flame; the wind seems to laugh at them, the spinning form heading meancingly towards both.

[03:38] * Aiying checks.

[03:38] <Maxwell> Mmkay. Carlana's at 40 HP.

[03:38] <Remnant_GM> Sora, it's now your turn turn.

[03:38] <Aiying> How far from the deck are they fighting?

[03:38] <Remnant_GM> They're about 50 feet up now.

[03:38] <Remnant_GM> However, both birds are heading downwards.

[03:39] <Aiying> I think Aiying will start moving for wherever is 'right beneath them'.

[03:39] * Sora_Kawaguchi mutters an incantation in her native language, gesturing towards the spinning form, sending a bolt of radiant light at it.

[03:40] <Remnant_GM> Make an attack roll, please, Sora.

[03:40] <Sora_Kawaguchi> touch attack

[03:40] <Remnant_GM> Yep.

[03:40] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+5

[03:40] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 10 > Total: 10 (15).

[03:40] <Remnant_GM> Damage?

[03:40] <Remnant_GM> For normal creatures.

[03:40] <Sora_Kawaguchi> did I hit and what is it? The damage roll is dependent on a lot of stuff

[03:40] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 3d8

[03:40] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 3 8-sided dice. < 2 7 8 > Total: 17 (17).

[03:40] <Remnant_GM> Living air elemental

[03:40] * Aiying starts moving on the ship; for wherever is beneath the birds, watching upwards closely.

[03:41] <Aiying> Aiying will wait and see if they get to 30 feet.

[03:42] <Remnant_GM> The air elemental - for that is what it is, or at least, has assumed the form of - roars as the bolts strike it dead on, piercing through it, disrupting the spinning fires. It seems to be fairly injured from that single stroke.

[03:43] <Remnant_GM> The first eagle, still in a dive, sends fire splashing across the deck; yet this time Mitigation intercepts the damage, the fire splashing harmlessly about the spirit form. And then a gunshot rings out; the bird spirals downwards to land in front of Aiying - only to twist and warp into the shape of a lion before her.

[03:44] <Remnant_GM> You can take an attack of opportunity on that lion if you want! Or bird.

[03:44] <Aiying> Well, when it hits 30 feet.

[03:44] * Aiying is unloading Shuriken on it.

[03:44] <Remnant_GM> Oh, right

[03:45] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20+2). < 2 > Total: 2 (4).

[03:45] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20+2). < 14 > Total: 14 (16).

[03:45] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20-3). < 8 > Total: 8 (5).

[03:45] <Remnant_GM> Wellll.... add that in too

[03:45] <Aiying> I think all three of 'em missed.

[03:45] <Aiying> Er, wait

[03:45] <Aiying> Should be +4/+4/-1

[03:45] <Aiying> So 6/18/7

[03:45] <Aiying> Did 18 hit?

[03:45] <Remnant_GM> In the meantime Maxwell take a go.

[03:46] <Remnant_GM> Middle one hits.

[03:46] <Aiying> And for the PUNCH.

[03:46] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20+11). < 13 > Total: 13 (24).

[03:46] <Aiying> For the attack of opportunity

[03:46] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 8-sided dice (1d8+5). < 5 > Total: 5 (10).

[03:46] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 6-sided dice (1d6). < 2 > Total: 2 (2).

[03:46] <Aiying> 10 Bludgeoning, 2 Frost damage from fist.

[03:46] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 2-sided dice (1d2+5). < 2 > Total: 2 (7).

[03:46] <Aiying> 7 piercing damage from Shuriken.

[03:46] <Remnant_GM> As it staggers to its feet, a single shuriken lodged in its chest bleeds freely, only to get punched in the face by a cheerful girl.

[03:47] <Remnant_GM> 19 damage total.

[03:47] <Aiying> The shuriken are pretty inaccurate. BUT I CAN THROW A LOT OF THEM.

[03:47] <Aiying> Also: Aiying's Init

[03:47] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20+2). < 16 > Total: 16 (18).

[03:47] <Remnant_GM> Currently Maxwell's go.

[03:47] <Maxwell> 3d6

[03:47] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 3 6-sided dice. < 5 6 2 > Total: 13 (13).

[03:47] * Aiying was trying to get back her flask which she had (accidentally) tossed in the air too! She just happened to stumble on the wet ground at the last moment, and her first knocked it into the face, and so did the girl, although the girl rebounded back off of it a moment later. "My flask!"

[03:47] <Maxwell> "Damnit, something's not right, here..." Maxwell mutters, reaching down from the reins to place a hand filled with warm healing energy upon Carlana's back while eyeing the other bird carefully. [Lay on hands 3d6]

[03:48] <Remnant_GM> You get to go next round before it, again

[03:48] <Maxwell> ... `-` dice are tricksy on my healing rolls today.

[03:49] <Maxwell> But yeah, Carlana's back up to full HP until something goes wrong.

[03:50] <Remnant_GM> Once again, the gouts of fire shoot out; the winds buffeting Sora while the fire hits Maxwell.

[03:51] <Maxwell> Reflex saves?

[03:51] <Remnant_GM> Sora, make a reflex check please. Maxwell too.

[03:52] <Maxwell> 1d20+6

[03:52] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 4 > Total: 4 (10).

[03:52] <Remnant_GM> 2d6

[03:52] <Aiying> Remnant_GM rolled 2 6-sided dice. < 3 1 > Total: 4 (4).

[03:52] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+7

[03:52] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 20 > Total: 20 (27).

[03:52] <Maxwell> Ouch, I'm taking that one in full.

[03:52] <Sora_Kawaguchi> I think I dodged that

[03:52] <Maxwell> Or at least avoided the worse of it, if it's reflex partial.

[03:53] <Remnant_GM> Maxwell, fort save or ride to avoid deseating

[03:53] <Sora_Kawaguchi> even on a crit roll?

[03:54] <Remnant_GM> Actually, only Maxwell get hit, Sora isn't in this case

[03:54] <Maxwell> Forts don't have crits, just automatic failures or automatic successes .-. evasion's what ya need to avoid a reflex partial save entirely.

[03:54] <Maxwell> 1d20+10

[03:54] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 14 > Total: 14 (24).

[03:54] <Maxwell> Oh, okay

[03:54] <Remnant_GM> It was two separate attacks, in this case.

[03:55] <Maxwell> So I guess it's reflex negates for the wind attack, and Sora aced it o/

[03:55] <Remnant_GM> The elemental - somehow clumsy in its movements, sweeps past Sora as she maneuvers the hippogriff round the lunge; Maxwell is not so lucky - the blast hits him dead on. Yet his hold on the reins keep him steady in his seat.

[03:56] <Remnant_GM> Next turn, Sora gets to hit the flatfooted AC of the elemental due to the dodge. Aiying's turn to PUNCH!

[03:57] <Aiying> Alright!

[03:57] <Aiying> So how close is it.

[03:58] <Remnant_GM> You punched it in the face last turn.

[03:58] <Maxwell> Gonna roll a DC10 knowledge check to make sure Maxwell's aware that it's an elemental and not just a really malevolent screeching wind thing he's fighting.

[03:58] <Maxwell> roll 1d20+2

[03:58] <Maxwell> Gah

[03:58] <Maxwell> 1d20+2

[03:58] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 1 > Total: 1 (3).

[03:58] <Maxwell> ...Nope! 8D

[03:58] <Remnant_GM> It's a screechy whirly dragon in a cloud

[03:58] <Remnant_GM> Maybe.

[03:59] <Aiying> GOOD.

[03:59] <Aiying> Going to burn a Drunken Ki Point for an extra attack.

[03:59] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20+11). < 14 > Total: 14 (25).

[03:59] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20+11). < 10 > Total: 10 (21).

[03:59] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20+11). < 11 > Total: 11 (22).

[03:59] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 1 20-sided dice (1d20+6). < 3 > Total: 3 (9).

[03:59] <Maxwell> AAAAAAAAATATATATATATATA

[04:00] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Maxwell's mental image: http://growingyoungereachday.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/wind_blowing_cloud.png

[04:00] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 3 8-sided dice (3d8+15). < 4 2 7 > Total: 13 (28).

[04:00] <Aiying> Aiying rolled 3 6-sided dice (3d6). < 1 2 1 > Total: 4 (4).

[04:00] <Aileen> AH!

[04:00] <Maxwell> pfft

[04:00] <Aiying> 28 Bludgeoning, 4 Frost damage.

[04:00] <Aiying> My frost is pitiful :D

[04:00] <Aileen> I should roll my hit dice, should i?

[04:00] <Aileen> For my health.

[04:00] <Maxwell> Yeah, good idea. Full hit die at first level, then five more. :o

[04:01] <Aileen> 5d8

[04:01] <Aiying> Aileen rolled 5 8-sided dice. < 4 5 4 2 8 > Total: 23 (23).

[04:01] <Maxwell> Plus whatever CON bonuses you have per hit dice and however many hit points you've gotten for your favored class bonuses .-.

[04:01] <Aileen> Wow .. I expected much worse.

[04:01] * Aiying drops her flask again - and winds up grappling with the lion with it. Or something. When he tries to block her hands, it's the flask; when he sees the flask and ignores the feint, the hand streaks out from behind it and nails him in tehs nout.

[04:02] <Aileen> I wish I had rolled that good (0.5 points above average! XD) with my attributes >_<

[04:02] <Remnant_GM> That's over average, right? You get to keep it :D

[04:03] <Maxwell> That too - in Remnant Wings, if your HP drops below the average with your next level roll, you're bumped up to it o/ Very handy.

[04:03] <Sora_Kawaguchi> bah, I'm the only one with an horrible roll on hit die forcing me to use a feat just to have HP I'm satisfied with

[04:04] <Maxwell> You have more HP than Maxwell as a result, though. .-.

[04:05] <Aileen> > [02:09] * Aiying [..cut..] and nails him in tehs nout.

[04:05] <Aileen> For extra XP, Aiying is even typing drunk. XD

[04:05] <Aileen> It is exactly 0.5 points above average.

[04:05] <Aileen> The average of 5d8 being 22.5

[04:05] <Sora_Kawaguchi> I'm supposed to, I went for an high CON on purpose

[04:05] <Remnant_GM> The lion stares, groggy headed; it growls angrily, staggering back; trying to stay up. And then it breathes fire at Aiying; belching up a fireball across the showgirl.

[04:06] <AncientSpark> What class? Cleric?

[04:06] <Maxwell> Paladin/cleric for Sora.

[04:06] <Aileen> So I guess .. that was the lowest possible result the dice could give me under the current rules. XD

[04:06] <Aiying> So, wait.

[04:06] <Aiying> Am I making a reflex save for that fire?

[04:06] <Aiying> Or what?

[04:06] <Remnant_GM> 1d20+4

[04:06] <Aiying> Remnant_GM rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 16 > Total: 16 (20).

[04:06] <Maxwell> Attack roll. Ouch.

[04:06] <Maxwell> Well, on the plus side at least you'll be dry!

[04:07] <Remnant_GM> Uh, whoops, wrong channel. Well! Just the six damage then.

[04:07] <Remnant_GM> 1d100

[04:07] <Aiying> Remnant_GM rolled 1 100-sided dice. < 80 > Total: 80 (80).

[04:07] <Remnant_GM> 1d6+5

[04:07] <Aiying> Remnant_GM rolled 1 6-sided dice. < 1 > Total: 1 (6).

[04:08] <AncientSpark> ...Is there fire going on? :D

[04:08] <Maxwell> Fire fire everywhere, and Maxwell's too much of a bawss to drink his protection potion for it.

[04:09] <Maxwell> What's the d100 roll for? :o

[04:09] <Remnant_GM> Sora's go is next!

[04:09] <Aiying> Well.

[04:09] <Aiying> There goes my temp HP.

[04:09] <Remnant_GM> The deck's on fire. Again.

[04:09] <Remnant_GM> It's fortunate that the bottle that is bouncing around doesn't ignite, though the deck lights up once again. The mages are still struggling to get around to a clear shot; clearly a showgirl beating up a burning tiger is not as much fun to stop by firing upon. The flames still singe quite nastily, however.

[04:10] <AncientSpark> Man, if half-orc magus totally wasn't the worst idea ever, I'd do it. Favored bonus is bonus damage on fire spells :O

[04:11] <Maxwell> Too bad you can't spellstrike with a greataxe very effectively.

[04:11] <Maxwell> Well, maybe if you took Still Spell...

[04:11] <Aiying> I can't really anti-fire.

[04:12] <AncientSpark> Your fists cause frost, right? Just punch the fire :P

[04:12] <Maxwell> Aiying - solving every problem in the world with her fists.

[04:12] <Aiying> I don't think that works.

[04:12] <Aiying> ...Actually, wait

[04:13] <Aiying> If I keep drinking...

[04:13] <Remnant_GM> Treat them as tiny tiny fire elementals?

[04:13] * Sora_Kawaguchi exploits her mount's agility to turn and attack the off balance elemental with a fierce charge.

[04:14] <Sora_Kawaguchi> roll 1d20+11

[04:14] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+11

[04:14] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 13 > Total: 13 (24).

[04:14] <Remnant_GM> The wind's very strong in the immediate vicinity of the elemental - definitely charging?

[04:15] <Maxwell> Sounds like the hippogriff's gonna need to make a fly check...

[04:15] <Remnant_GM> A ride check, I think?

[04:15] <Maxwell> One or the other, I guess. Your call. :o

[04:15] <Remnant_GM> It's hard to approach the elemental directly.

[04:15] <Sora_Kawaguchi> you pretty much declared that I had a free shot for a physical attack and then suddenly it's no longer so free?

[04:16] <Remnant_GM> Well, I was saying it'd be easier to hit with magic or physically, but all physical attacks are difficult in this case

[04:17] <Maxwell> No worries, I'm sure you'll make the DC without a problem.

[04:18] <Remnant_GM> Since it's facing away from you, sort of, it can't really direct the wind so strongly, that's true

[04:18] <Sora_Kawaguchi> I'm getting ridiculously mixed signals here

[04:19] <Sora_Kawaguchi> "Sora has a free shot" "Oh god attacking baaaaad idea" "You'd make it easy." "Sort of maybe doable"

[04:20] <Aiying> If you have a lot of HP? Attack :D

[04:21] <Sora_Kawaguchi> I have plenty of HP. Due to not being blessed with a ridiculous mount unlike Maxwell, though, my -mount- has less than a third of my HP.

[04:21] <Maxwell> Even if you don't have a lot of HP, it's not like the penalties are that terrible. Even in the worst case scenario, falling's cheap in this campaign.

[04:21] <Sora_Kawaguchi> And I can't afford to replace it

[04:23] <Maxwell> The enemies haven't even been doing heavy damage. You can heal it up fairly well with a single lay on hands. >_>

[04:23] <Aileen> 43 hit points total after all, with 14 const.

[04:25] <Sora_Kawaguchi> my mount has 20 though

[04:26] <Aileen> Now all I need it to choose languages and spells. And anything else I forgot until then.

[04:26] <Sora_Kawaguchi> which means that, in this setting, an average human is about as tough as a freaking hippogriff

[04:26] <Maxwell> It's fine, Sora, go ahead and make the shot. It's not like winds will do damage, just disrupt the attack.

[04:26] <Remnant_GM> If you are worried about your mount, you could shoot at the beast.

[04:26] <Maxwell> And that too.

[04:26] <Aileen> Shouldn't the mount have more HP?

[04:26] <Maxwell> The hippogriff's just a standard trained beast for the time being, not an animal companion.

[04:26] <Aileen> I thought Paladins gave their mounts a big bonus on that.

[04:26] <Maxwell> Unlike Maxwell's gryphon .-.

[04:26] <Aileen> Ah, I see.

[04:27] <Maxwell> Though yeah, Yukari was working on the hippogriff becoming a companion down the line, I believe

[04:27] <Aileen> Roll I was asked to make a lot of time ago. >_<

[04:27] <Aileen> 1d20+10

[04:27] <Aiying> Aileen rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 18 > Total: 18 (28).

[04:27] <Sora_Kawaguchi> gonna blow my only other lethal damage spell I guess, not like I have a choice

[04:28] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+5

[04:28] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 18 > Total: 18 (23).

[04:28] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 3d8

[04:28] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 3 8-sided dice. < 6 7 6 > Total: 19 (19).

[04:29] <Remnant_GM> Got it.

[04:31] <Remnant_GM> Mid roar, the elemental's scream cuts out - the fire dies, the wispy body losing its spin, its coherency dissipating as the burning light from the charge sears across it once more - not quite dead, yet burnt enough to be knocked out - the winds carry it away, vanished as if into the air itself.

[04:32] <Remnant_GM> Maxwell's go; the last creature's right on deck next to Aiying.

[04:33] <Remnant_GM> The second bird was shot down, by the way.

[04:33] <Remnant_GM> Oh, posting something short before that, though

[04:33] <Maxwell> Oh, really?

[04:33] <Maxwell> I didn't catch that.

[04:33] <Remnant_GM> Yeah, I think I put it in the wrong place >_>

[04:34] <Maxwell> Ah, yeah, okay.

[04:34] <Maxwell> Got mixed up.

[04:34] <Maxwell> 1d20+2 perception check - is the second bird still in the air somewhere, or gone gone?

[04:34] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 3 > Total: 3 (5).

[04:34] <Maxwell> ...well, nuts to figuring that out.

[04:35] <Remnant_GM> You actually pass that perception test, but not for the bird

[04:35] <Maxwell> Oh, okay. What DOES Maxwell see, then? That there's a lion on a ship?

[04:36] <Remnant_GM> Still writing.

[04:37] <Remnant_GM> A score of 5 gets to see the snake thingy

[04:37] <AncientSpark> Whee, dragon~

[04:37] <Sora_Kawaguchi> ...

[04:37] <Aiying> I DON'T LIKE THAT THING

[04:37] <Sora_Kawaguchi> ...

[04:37] <Sora_Kawaguchi> ...

[04:37] <Aiying> It's too big to punch

[04:37] <Remnant_GM> And- at that moment, someone falls asleep. And from below the Mitigated Landing, the storm breaks - a shadowy form - long - long - vast - large enough to swallow up all of Emberflash in one gulp - sinuous trail snaking through the clouds - it emerges. A great white wyrm. A city eater wyrm, legless, mouth and tail and wings of steam, headed straight towards Emberflash.

[04:38] <Aiying> Or drink

[04:38] <AncientSpark> Throw rocks at it!

[04:38] <Sora_Kawaguchi> http://smilepanic.com/wp-content/uploads/do_not_want8.jpg

[04:38] <Aileen> I kind of like it a lot how my sidequest entry into the campaign is little else but my character doing nothing but deciding to risk trying to get some sleep. ^-^ It helps me get a bit of a feel for her, even if the situation is not truly representative because of the severe circumstances.

[04:38] <Aileen> And the descriptions are beautiful.

[04:38] <Maxwell> Maxwell grunts in pain as the wave of heat hammers him in the chest, his chestplate smoking from the blast. "Damnit, Maxwell, focus! Eyes forward!" he growls before surveying Sora's attack against the hostile elemental force, and then... so very much more. "...Oh my god..." He quickly brings Carlana down onto the ship's deck, between the lion and Aiying. "Stop this right now! There is a misunderstanding going on and we've got much more to worry about!" he shouts, pointing towards the wyrm. [Move action made, pending for response]

[04:39] <Aileen> That Aileen's haunting spirits can talk and communictae threw me for a loop at first, I still have to adjust to that. ^-^

[04:39] <Remnant_GM> I think that after the lion goes down we should stop for the day - it's been kind of frantic

[04:41] <Remnant_GM> Let's see... maxwell's done his go... Aiying? Want to stop punching the lion like Maxwell wants, or want to punch it again?

[04:41] <Maxwell> I'm not done yet D:

[04:41] <Maxwell> I'm waiting for a roleplay response before I use the other half of my action.

[04:41] <Aiying> Hmm.

[04:41] <Aiying> I'll stop, then.

[04:41] <Remnant_GM> Oh wait, you actually landed in front of the lion

[04:41] <Aileen> I think you are good at making beautiful and immersive (so very important that!) descriptions, Yukari.

[04:42] <Remnant_GM> 1d20+5

[04:42] <Aiying> Remnant_GM rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 17 > Total: 17 (22).

[04:42] * Aiying will hold a Standard Action to punch.

[04:42] <Maxwell> If the lion's not going to make some kind of noncombative response, though, I'll ready my standard action for when it does do something.

[04:42] * Aiying stops, now having (secured) her flask. "Well, I've got my flask back..." she says, tipping back to take a shot as she waits. [Swift Action: Drink! +6 Temp HP, +Drunken Ki Point]

[04:43] <Remnant_GM> 1d6+5

[04:43] <Aiying> Remnant_GM rolled 1 6-sided dice. < 2 > Total: 2 (7).

[04:43] <Maxwell> Also, any action it makes, I'd like to use a sense motive to tell whether it's pissed off at me or what.

[04:43] <Aiying> "No hard feelings, right, kitty?"

[04:44] <Remnant_GM> Roll for sense motive, then!

[04:44] <Maxwell> 1d20+8

[04:44] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 14 > Total: 14 (22).

[04:44] <Remnant_GM> The lion's response is to rake across Maxwell's back with a clawful of flame, spitting defiance and teeth at the knight. Below it lies the other bird, shot through the neck, limp on the deck.

[04:45] <Remnant_GM> You get the feeling that it may be very angry towards you.

[04:45] <Maxwell> And me alone?

[04:45] <Aiying> Right, if it attacked him, I'm using that standard action.

[04:45] <Remnant_GM> At the moment Maxwell did put himself between the two of you

[04:45] <Aiying> Ahh.

[04:45] <Maxwell> I'm using my readied standard action to cockblock Aiying in that case.

[04:45] <Maxwell> Or... if Aiying can't attack at all, I guess it's just a roleplayed cockblock.

[04:45] <Aiying> So, can I five-foot step in and give it another smack in tehs nout? But I suppose so

[04:46] <Remnant_GM> She COULD attack through you, I guess

[04:46] <Remnant_GM> With shuriken

[04:46] <Aiying> Nah.

[04:46] <Aiying> I'll let him fistblock.

[04:46] <Remnant_GM> Maxwell: towards you at the moment, but it does seem to be also directed.

[04:46] * Aiying shifts forward, her weight moving forward as her arm cocks back. "Bad kitty!" She calls out, looking like she's just going to give it a nice, firm, frost-augmented slap.

[04:46] * Maxwell winces and takes the brunt of the blast, quickly hopping off Carlana and motioning her away with one arm while holding his other in front of Aiying. "No. This is my fault. I should bear responsibility."

[04:47] <Remnant_GM> Sora? Your go for the moment

[04:47] <Maxwell> 44 hit points for now.

[04:47] <Sora_Kawaguchi> I have no idea at all anymore

[04:47] * Aiying pauses. "Well, I can forgive a little fire; but, y'know, you look in pretty bad shape. Sure you want to turn down n'ally?"

[04:48] <Remnant_GM> Well, if you're confused, landing would likely be good.

[04:48] <Sora_Kawaguchi> that Maxwell has me going 'what the hell?' doesn't help

[04:48] <Aiying> Maxwell has Aiying wondering too. But she thinks he's in over his head.

[04:48] <Remnant_GM> Will you land, or stay in the air?

[04:49] <Sora_Kawaguchi> staying in the air right now

[04:49] <Sora_Kawaguchi> wait

[04:50] <Sora_Kawaguchi> y'know what? Admonishing Ray feels right for that

[04:50] <Sora_Kawaguchi> painful, powerful, non-lethal

[04:50] <Aiying> Oooh, yeah. Dead on.

[04:50] <Remnant_GM> That is a *very* good choice, yes

[04:50] <Remnant_GM> It's not got its attention on you at all, make an attack roll

[04:51] * Sora_Kawaguchi growls, "Striking someone trying to arrange peace from the back? Whatever you are, you need to cool down slightly I believe!"

[04:52] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 1d20+5

[04:52] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 1 20-sided dice. < 13 > Total: 13 (18).

[04:52] <Remnant_GM> Solid hit, nonlethal damage?

[04:52] * Sora_Kawaguchi as she admonishes, she waves with her free hand as if punishing the lion with a smack that seems to just keep going invisibly to strike towards the lion HARD.

[04:53] <Aiying> Yup, a lot o it~

[04:53] <Aiying> ...Wait.

[04:53] <Aiying> Aiying can nonlethal too. Not as well as the ray, but.

[04:54] <Remnant_GM> Could you roll d- actually, minimum damage would knock it out, I think

[04:54] <Sora_Kawaguchi> 4d6

[04:54] <Aiying> Sora_Kawaguchi rolled 4 6-sided dice. < 5 2 4 5 > Total: 16 (16).

[04:54] <Maxwell> Wow, below 4 hit points? Snap.

[04:55] <Remnant_GM> It was literally on it's last legs

[04:55] <Sora_Kawaguchi> well, now that I've Nanoha'd it, hopefully it'll cool off a bit.

[04:55] <Remnant_GM> As the lion bends down to seize the dead bird - the wave slaps into it and it staggers sideways before falling over with a thud that rumbles across the deck.

[04:56] <Sora_Kawaguchi> if no one beats me to it, I'll be landing on the deck and have everyone gather up around me and the lion

[04:57] <Remnant_GM> Combat is over. Currently free action is avalable for whoever to act as they wish.

[04:57] <Remnant_GM> The great wyrm sweeps closer, catching up to the Landing.

[04:57] * Maxwell stands deathly still for a moment, then heaves a heavy sigh and presses his own hand to his chest, delivering a flow of healing energy. "Alright, who's the captain here?" [Lay on hands @ self]

[04:57] * Aiying waves up to Sora. "Yeah, thanks~" she calls out. Before shifting to look at the wyrm. "And, y'know, just saying...that thing over there looks a little big," she says, pointing at the wyrm. "Oh, Red. Reeeeeeeeeeed!"

[04:58] <Sora_Kawaguchi> dangit maxwell, I was going to heal everyone at once with one channel positive energy

[04:58] <Remnant_GM> Get everyone to gather round, there's still plenty of injured.

[04:58] <Sora_Kawaguchi> but no one is reading my messages as usual so y'know what, nevermind, I'm done here

[04:58] <Maxwell> Sorry. xP Probably best not to since it might make the lion conscious again.

[04:58] <Sora_Kawaguchi> I said I was doing that, then no one reacted

[04:58] <Sora_Kawaguchi> fuck it, I'm done caring

[04:58] <Sora_Kawaguchi> Sora is an NPC for the rest of the evening

[04:59] <Sora_Kawaguchi> And if it goes aggressive after being shown kindness, it deserves the following beatdown

[05:02] <Remnant_GM> I'll be ending the session shortly after, so it shouldn't be too long.

[05:02] <Remnant_GM> "I can see it! You don't have to- what'n hell's that noise?" The mouth of the giant wyrm is starting to glow, a bright bright white. Even as Sora gathers the injured crew round her, healing them up, it's plainly visible on board the ship.

[05:03] <Aiying> I'm full HP, so

[05:03] <Maxwell> What roll should I be expecting here?

[05:03] <Maxwell> 3d6 for Max's lay on hands also

[05:03] <Aiying> Maxwell rolled 3 6-sided dice. < 3 1 3 > Total: 7 (7).

[05:03] <Maxwell> Back to 51 HP.

[05:04] <Remnant_GM> Ok, everyone's healed, that's fine

[05:04] <Maxwell> Alright. 55!

[05:04] <Maxwell> Should I roll perception to tell if that glow is going to be painful, or knowledge, or what?

[05:05] <Remnant_GM> That'd be probably a straight wis or int roll. It's not too hard to know it's not going to be pleasant.

[05:05] <Maxwell> I'm taking 10.

[05:06] <Maxwell> ...What direction is the wyrm's mouth pointing?

[05:07] <Remnant_GM> It's still pointing towards Emberflash, about a mile and a half away.

[05:07] <Maxwell> "What the...? Oh sweet--HIT THE DECK!" Maxwell shouts before grabbing Carlana by the reins and diving down against the scorched floors of the ship in case of any aftershocks.

[05:07] <Remnant_GM> The ship tilts upwards abruptly, turning in the air like a lumbering whale. "Climb, you disaster! Stay away from the bow! Don't look!" Red barks out orders as he pulls back sharply on the controls.

[05:10] <Maxwell> Well, thats gonna be fun to explain to the superiors.

[05:11] <Maxwell> "I went on recon to figure out what everyone was worked up about and the city kind of exploded with everyone inside because it turns out there was a wyrm inside."

[05:11] <Maxwell> *about the storm cloud

[05:12] * Sora_Kawaguchi is now known as Shou_Toramaru

[05:12] <-> Sora_Kawaguchi is now known as Shou_Toramaru

[05:12] * Aiying sways, crouching and going to a knee on the deck, but doesn't look. Well, it's probably a gaze attack of some kind, she figures.

[05:17] <Maxwell> Do we get to watch a big badda boom? :D

[05:17] <Maxwell> BIG BADDA BOOM \o/

[05:17] <Remnant_GM> Ok! Session ends with a laser being fired

[05:17] <Remnant_GM> There's a brief pause as the light dims. And then the skies alight with a pure brilliant glow, for a single moment.

[05:17] <Remnant_GM> -Session one of Remnant Wings, end-

[05:18] <Maxwell> Man, how many campaigns start off with wiping a whole city right off the map?

[05:18] <Maxwell> (Well it may still be intact but, uh)

[05:18] * You are now known as Temia

[05:18] <Temia> If it can eat the city in a gulp? I'm afraid of what it can do with the breath weapon.

[05:19] <AncientSpark> Well, obviously, this requires a training montage to get to level 20

[05:19] <AncientSpark> Then BADASS MODE EPIC BATTLE

[05:19] <Aileen> Wait .. it was charging it's lazor?

[05:19] <Temia> Yep.

[05:21] <Aiying> LAZOR.

[05:21] <Temia> Now the fun part is seeing if there's a city still left.

[05:23] <Remnant_GM> So! How did you think the layout of the session went?

[05:23] <Aiying> Pretty fun.

[05:23] * AncientSpark jealous

[05:23] <Remnant_GM> The hard part was trying to render a giant, giant wyrm in five foot increments

[05:24] <Temia> ...yyyyyyyyyeah

[05:24] <Temia> I don't think there would've even been enough space.

[05:24] <Remnant_GM> Ancientspark: if Futo doesn't show up, you may potentially get the spot, but that's a maybe

[05:24] <Temia> Considering the cities exceed the colossal size token by several orders of magnitude?

[05:24] <Temia> I, uh.

[05:24] <Temia> I don't think you'd be able to do anything about something several orders of magnitude bigger than the city ._.

[05:25] <AncientSpark> Well, Futo's in Patchy's Library, not sure if she's actually there though

[05:25] <Remnant_GM> WAIT WHAT

[05:25] <AncientSpark> Yep, Mononobe~

[05:28] <Remnant_GM> Ok, I'll talk to her about it

[05:28] <Temia> Still, dang.

[05:28] <Temia> I can't even begin to think of what the CR for the wyrm is. ._.

[05:28] <Remnant_GM> CR? Which part of the structure?

[05:29] <Temia> ...

[05:29] * Temia slowly wilts away.

[05:29] <AncientSpark> :P :P :P

[05:29] <AncientSpark> So now, obviously, you're expected to reach high levels to take it down

[05:30] <AncientSpark> Get grindin'~

[05:30] * Yukari (Yukari_fuf@xgox57-08-42-88.range40-22.btcentralplus.com) has joined #RW-OOC

[05:30] <Shou_Toramaru> "I fly over and hit it right between the eyes with admonishing ray, "Bad Wyrm!""

[05:30] <Yukari> `-`b

[05:31] <Temia> I hope it doesn't have nonlethal damage immunity D8

[05:31] <Remnant_GM> Oh, this channel isn't registered

[05:31] <Remnant_GM> Ok! Everyone shoo, we can talk again in #remnantwings
