[Recap]
From Mae: [Re: Actions]
I'm still giggling over it, I guess my teasing Scott about
"DM's a wimp" or my all time favorite "DM's a Wuss!." went too
far. :)Â I expected the character to die, as Mae is a newbie
character, she is effectively a wet behind the ears adventurer
(although wet in other places as well, damn it Zin give me a
chance to breath for Court's sake!") in order for Scott to make
it challenging for the longer established characters in the
group the newbies are very susceptible to a quick and (I haven't
a clue if the shaman whatever spell is painful or not) brutal
end.
Scott already said I have to ask for help for Mae to have one
of the shamanic characters to bring her back. Ingame at least,
I don't see one of them, after having no qualms about killing,
would deign to lower themselves to bring the character back to
life. Honestly, there doesn't seem to be any help for her,
considering if she is brought back, her first few actions will
be to repay in kind the same type of sucker punch to the one
that killed her.Â
So far, this is playing out more like a Paranoia adventure, I'm
just waiting for the vulture squadron to show up to mow down,
er "escort" the remains of the group to debriefing with friend
computer and wake up the next set of clones.
No, I don't want Mae dead, took me long enough to get the
character built (3-4 weeks if I remember, as well figure out a
plausible concept, but mostly trying to figure out the rules
that I still am struggling with). However, she will most
likely wind up dead again as the epic level shamanic sister
wipes the floor with her. Simply as Mae will indeed try to
kill her, if only to use her skull as chamber pot.
GM: Ack. Just remember GOD (Games Operational Director) or me
is all knowing and all powerful. So to dis me is to welcome
pain and death. :)
From Mae: [Re: Actions]
OOOOOoooooOOOOO, OOOOOoooooOOOOO, OOOOOoooooOOOOO,
OOOOOoooooOOOOO, OOOOOoooooOOOOO, OOOOOoooooOOOOO,
Only those who remember Ultima Online might get the joke. I
just hope she didn't gank my gear. Oh wait, damn it, she took
my dagger. Don't care if she called it her dagger, it was laying
there all innocent like and in need of being held and caressed..
Damn it Zin, I told you, let me get a breath in.Â
Oh, if someone can bring it to themselves to save me and get
this lug off of me, I would be ever so grateful.Â
GM: Ack. For the record it was her dagger. Initially I had
used Unali's dagger made by Z'leyra. But I forgot it was
not fully 100% Kameran metal (thanks to Alex) so I needed
a pure dagger and that was Z'layha's thus I replaced it
and stated that in old update.
From John: [Re: Actions]
You're not the only one getting impaled right now, otherwise
Arawn would be there to help...
GM: Ack.
Impaled...hah!
From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions]
Grabbing her staff and summoning her willpower, Z'leyra
casts Dispell on her curse. Then twirling the staff she
advances on Mae saying in increasing volume " You, Dare,....
GM: Ack. Staff? You got Great Sword. Staff is across the
cave and that area smells really bad!
From Fremea: [RE: Thrall]
Fremea shakes her head and tries to get the room to stop
spinning. Damn it all, how did that thing hit me? Well, now
it is going to pay. She will cast Fascination (Max EL) to make
it hers.
GM: Ack.
From Kiet: [Re: Actions]
Oh, man. We are in sooooo much trouble.
As you've probably realized, your current 'Kiet' isn't 'your'
Kiet. I've been working with Scott to add to the confusion by
posting pseudo-Kiet's actions as if they were really mine.
HOPEFULLY it worked to make this shifter really seem like
the real Kiet. But now you know why he was acting rather
erratically.
Just out of curiosity, who was fooled? Bid anybody figure out '
Kiet' was a shifter?
Next question...WHEN did Kiet get hijacked...? Where is the
REAL Kiet...? Will any of us get out alive...?
Dorhak AND Kell...? Dead so quickly an no chance to save them...
? This sucks. Killing the newbies so quickly is rough, but Kell
is a friend of Kiet's. Is there anything any of you can do for
either or both of them? Not so sure that bringing back Mae is
a good idea...
GM: Ack. Yep. You did a great job. I'm really surprised
no one figured it out? The lava/gear stuff going tot he
gear pile? Kinda obvious to me. :) Course I'm the
director and have the script. As to the gear lost this
was not David's idea. We together randomly rolled
based on items around Fake-Kiet. Then he just used
that results It was not personal. Just how the bad
guys think. Hopefully real Kiet isn't in the lava!
Kell is not a newbie and he may die. :<
From Mae: [Re: Actions]
'Daemynore' Maelorna blinked as she heard a name that ...
GM: Ack. This is great rp stuff. Creative. But sadly a bit
premature. The spirit would not have escaped as this
is a prison world and thus....good stuff though. I had
tried to skype with you on this but not online.
------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Febris 9th, 1635TH]
[Time: 5:01 pm]
[Unknown Location]
[Audience Room - Current room]
[Phase 9]
Z'leyra hopes to cast a dispel upon her smelling curse.
Fremea prepares mana for a fascination spell. It seems
Mae did well so figure a slave would do nicely.
Z'leyra gestures and realizes the smell from her hands is
very bad. She speaks the words to cast a dispel on herself.
But then she realizes this is not a Negate Curse and it does
nothing but sound like pretty words.
Fremea waves and gestures at the bull-shifter and casts
her fascination spell. Sadly the shifter's magical defense
together with the plane they are on causes her to fail.
Fremea shakes the daze from her mind and takes to the
air she circles the shifter once and twice then hovering
behind it stabs the thing's back. But the thick hide of
the shifter blocks most damage and she only does 4 points
of damage.
Unali charges toward shifter #3 which just dwarf tossed
Dorhak out the window. She rushes hoping to push the
shifter out at the same time but the bulk of the shifter is
too immense and its like shoving a wall.
'Daemynore' Maelorna blinked as she heard a name that she
couldn't resist. How she got here, she wasn't sure, but one
moment she was watching her pet get ready to tear into her meal,
to finish it off. Now? Maelorna found herself in a gothic
cathedral, the center of which a bed had been set in the center.
The black and red satin sheets undulated from the bodies
underneath as moans could be heard like a perverse chorus.
Lounging atop the sheets, a succubus flexed her bejeweled wing,
revealing the cream coloured flesh of perfection.
Maelorna felt the danger and tried to back up, but found she
was unable to tear her gaze from the succubus, who's terrible
beauty filling her mind, nothing else would ever compare. The
succubus's long black tresses fell down her back and framed her
pale white face, while crimson eyes regarded Maelorna with a
playful promise. 'Daeymenore' the voice sounded from everywhere.
Maelorna felt her true name holding her firm. Her human side
wailed in terror as she knew who she beheld, the utterance of
her name held her as surely as any bondage.
'We see Our influence has taken hold.' as the succubus
giggled playfully. 'Do we find you lacking?' the voice
regarded Maelorna and laughter sounded from everywhere. 'Nay,
like all our daughters, we can read the chaos in your essence
and hunger in your eyes. Little Daemynore, why are you here
amongst your sisters?' it asked her, Maelorna couldn't answer,
she had little understanding just where here was. 'Shall we
give you another chance? The mortals may help or hinder, but
little Daemynore, delight is ours in seeing you again, but you
are not ready to truly join your sisters.'
Then reality sinks in as the released spirit of Mae flies
in and out of walls and caves. The dream to head to the
higher planes is not allowed it seems as this realm is
a prison and leaving it that way would not be possible.
She may be a spirit in this realm forever. Never to get
to the higher courts but only in her dreams. She flies
through caves of hundreds of shifters. She pities the
mortals who will have to deal with them.
Then Mae's spirit which seems to have taken seconds or
years emerges outside. The landscape all around is lava
and badlands. The sky so hazy and gloomy. Then she
glances right and sees a small figure falling from the
sky. She flies toward it and sees it is the dwarf.
she is amazed he lands on his shield. Then bam a rock
hits his head and he falls backwards.
Mae hovers over the doomed dwarf. She reaches out and
tries to grab the dwarf but she is in spirit form. A
slight cackle slips her ethereal mouth.
Shifter #3 turns to face Fuk and Unali. He then grabs
Fuk and twists and throws Fuk out the window. Fuk tries
to twist his sword to use as a brace on the window but it
just causes the stone to break and part of the wall around
the window to be thrown out with him.
Fake-Kiet-Shifter reaches out with a spare arm and stabs
Pyan in the back. Then turns to Arawn and looks down at the
Cryx. Smiling he forms a small hole around it so the
orb does not touch his flesh.
Shifter #2 turns toward Fremea and with two new arms grabs
the wings and with a third arm punches right at her head
while holding her wings. The force of the blow is enough
to do 6 points to her head jerking it backwards. Fremea goes
limp and the shifter drops her to the ground.
Zin continues to 'merge' with the unconsciousness Mae. Red
hair begins to form on top of Zin's head. Zin's skin seems
to take on the sheen of Mae as both merge.
Arawn claws at Fake-Kiet as the shifter has his throat
in a choke hole. Knowing the strength is not on his
side he decides to do a move he saw Unali do. Using his
body he lifts his legs and with both legs kicks the shifter
right in the chest. At the same instant the shifter
loses his grip and Arawn falls to the ground.
Mournath sees Unali and rushes to help her. HE thrusts
his spear at shifter #3 but the action is wild and he
misses.
Z'leyra grips her great sword forgetting it is not her
staff and wonders why the metal smells like dwarf boots?
Fuk falls out the window and begins a line of verbal
profanities that would make Mae blush. Then he sees
a sinking Dorhak below. If only he could land on him
and bounce off the side. There is a chance!
Pyan falls to his knees from the backstab and feels
cold from the wound.
Suddenly from the open threshold to the west a
shifter and a person that looks just like Kiet enters.
It does look like Kiet?
Dorhak looks up to see Mae. What is she doing here?
Why is she fully naked and very thin. No wait. She
has no body? Dorhak tries to grab her arm but his
fingers slip through. What is this about!
Then Dorhak looks up and sees another person. No
its that constable fellow. Maybe he can help! No.
Wait he is falling right for him! Dorhak begins to feel
the burn of the lava on his back as his skin melts.
Fuk falls right through Mae's spirit and lands onto
Dorhak forcing him into the lava deeper to his doom.
Fuk fish tails and leaps off the dwarf's stomach to
the ground only 3 feet away. He makes it! But his arms
begin to swing as he tries to gain his balance.
Dorhak yells a final curse as he falls under the lava.
But the impact from Fuk's leap causes lava to spout
upwards. As Fuk kneels and laughs he feels a glob of
lava hit the back of his neck.
Z'layha watches as Zin has his fun. This is not a good
way to die. The shaman creeps toward Zin.
[Phase 10]
Kiet sees a shifter doing something to a thing
holding a shiny ball. Not seeing Arawn he does notice
the shifter has his other ring. He also looks just
like him! Raising his arm he fires his flame right at
the shifter.
The smokeless flame hits fake-Kiet and begins to burn
the shifter. The flames quickly do 22 points of damage
but the shifter still stands!
Z'leyra has a odd sensation . the smells are now oddly
conveying thoughts? She can feel the thoughts of Mae.
Did she just threaten her sister? Maybe the Abysmal had
a every worse effect then this smell nonsense. Grabbing
her great sword she charges toward Mae. " You, Dare, To,
Threaten, MY, SISTER!!!"
Z'leyra towers over Mae and raises her great magical sword.
Time to cut the head off of this beast! But no the smell
of Zin and the merging is distracting. She lowers the
boom and misses! How could she miss. She growls at
Zin and wishes Mae got her bath indeed!
Mae turns to watch Fuk. This is a odd turn of events.
She watches as lava drips down the back of Fuk's shirt
and begins to catch on fire. It almost reminds her of a
a nice torture session or as some call it a sex torture
dungeon.
Unali wished she had her second dagger. She stabs
Shifter #3 doing 10 points of damage to his chest.
Shifter #3 ignores Unali and touches Mournath. In
the time between eye blinks he learns Mournath has been
frozen twice in the last few weeks. The shifter figures
why not change that patter. With a hand now in the
shape of a needle it punctures Mournath's neck and fills
the sailor with bits of himself to paralyze the man.
Shifter #2 looks down at Fremea. Curious not having
seen a Fae before he had hoped to play with her. But
it is time to leave. So the shifter steps onto the head
of Fremea smashing it.
Shifter #5 sees Arawn and then glances to his new
friend Kiet. "I no longer require you." With a new
spear-hand he thrusts into the ribs of Kiet drawing
12 points of damage.
Arawn stands and thrusts the Cryx toward the now
burning shifter. Using his mental control he tries
to convey to the orb to spread the burning and make
his flesh harder to cope transmutating the skin.
Fuk screams as the lava hits his back. It burns
through his main artery and he reaches out to stop
the bleeding but yells out again as the lava de-fleshes
his hand. The pain is intense and he falls forward to
the solid ground unconsciousness.
Pyan notices Kell on the ground and doesn't want to
be one of the dead. He tries to stand and seeing the
shifter burning sees his chance. He stabs forward hoping
to hit the shifter with his spear. But he makes contact
with something invisible. Arawn yells out as he feels
a spear ram his back. Arawn takes 16 points of damage.
Arawn figures being invisible is not always wise!
Kell with ebbing strength looks up to see Kiet now with
a large gap in his ribs. Confused wasn't he behind him
and just stabbed him? Kell glances back to see burning
Kiet and shakes his head. This world is too weird and
then feels blackness as the pain takes him out.
Kiet looks to Kell-Shifter. The one who seemed to have
been his friend. He then sees Kell on the ground almost
dead or close to it. He smiles at least as the burning
doppelganger burns. Then he sags to his knees from the
damage and grabs his side. He then recalls the sword
he took and prepares to take on the traitor.
Z'layha with dagger in hand gets to the side of Zin's
'head'. She then thrusts the dagger into the right
'eye'. Then forces it into Zin's probable brain. Zin
screams and collapses onto of Mae.
Mae's spirit then suddenly sees a hole open up in
front of her. It sparkles. Could this be the great
beyond? She flies toward the hole!
