(08:22:44 PM) mode (+o dkap) by ChanServ
(08:22:52 PM) Caelin: A gm!
(08:23:52 PM) dkap: As I said ... Having display problems.
(08:24:39 PM) Caelin: gotcha
(08:24:50 PM) dkap: I might blink a few more times, indeed.
(08:24:55 PM) Auricle: Ooh, ehllo gm.
(08:24:59 PM) Caelin: doh!
(08:25:01 PM) Auricle: er, having typing problems
(08:25:55 PM) dkap: EHLO Auricle
(08:26:15 PM) Auricle: hee
(08:26:19 PM) dkap: Actually, that should probably be EHLO Auricle.pattern.world
(08:26:54 PM) Auricle: ???
(08:28:32 PM) dkap: Check your mail logs.
(08:28:55 PM) dkap: OK, so it's a geek joke. I'm a geek, and that's my joke.
(08:29:12 PM) dkap: Where were we? Something about a Pailination?
(08:30:01 PM) Caelin: heh
(08:31:37 PM) Auricle: Um, I think Caelin had the body and was looking for Norton
(08:32:01 PM) Caelin: That would be as I remember it.
(08:32:59 PM) dkap: Good good.
(08:33:15 PM) dkap: And Norton had gotten out of the fish ... somewhere.
(08:33:27 PM) dkap: So you left the body slumped in his chair.
(08:33:34 PM) dkap: On the advice of Mandor, right?
(08:33:38 PM) Caelin: Yes.
(08:35:02 PM) dkap: Then you and Mouseferatu got in an argument over precedence, and then ... umm ... I believe Mandor had to step in, and suggest that the two of you schedule a duel, once the guilds had built up enough for the dueling refs to be appropriately staffed.
(08:35:17 PM) dkap: And you offered Auricle to stand as your second.
(08:35:35 PM) Auricle: (Did what??!!)
(08:35:56 PM) dkap: Didn't you?
(08:36:09 PM) dkap: Or did I continue gaming in my head, after all of you had left?
(08:36:36 PM) Caelin: This I do NOT recall.
(08:36:36 PM) Caelin: I tthink so.
(08:36:51 PM) Auricle: I think you continued gaming in your head
(08:37:18 PM) ***Auricle starts checking logss.....
(08:38:07 PM) Caelin: The last I recall is dropping off the body at Mandor's suggestion.
(08:39:08 PM) Caelin: oops.
(08:39:25 PM) Caelin: Caelin did that, then returned to his hidey hole, where Ilk expects him to be.
(08:39:32 PM) Auricle: I...am not reliable. I have a missing portion due to timing out
(08:39:43 PM) Caelin: I have it.
(08:39:52 PM) Auricle: Is this why Auricle is always the answer?
(08:40:06 PM) Auricle: Cause if so, you are so not asking the right questions.
(08:40:34 PM) dkap: *grin*
(08:43:55 PM) Auricle: K, then, I guess we know where we are
(08:45:23 PM) dkap: Right. And if we just had the Count, or Jean ...
(08:46:12 PM) Auricle: we could game
(08:46:17 PM) Auricle: but, we are rather lackin
(08:46:19 PM) Auricle: lacking
(08:46:24 PM) Auricle: so...I continue crafting
(08:46:27 PM) dkap: And he's not ackin'
(08:48:04 PM) dkap: And I'm hauling down the data on the Xerox Line.
(08:48:14 PM) dkap: So, Mike, how is Chicago?
(08:48:24 PM) Caelin: Rainy, but nice.
(08:48:34 PM) Caelin: I. have. my. own. bathroom.
(08:48:40 PM) Caelin: I am spoiled beyond reason.
(08:48:44 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:48:52 PM) dkap: Someday I hope for my own bathroom.
(08:48:56 PM) dkap: Someday.
(08:48:59 PM) Caelin: *NOD*
(08:57:14 PM) dkap: Once the build-out happens, of course, then I'll also have my own Dojo ...
(08:57:25 PM) Caelin: ...
(08:57:27 PM) Caelin: Right.
(08:57:39 PM) Auricle: yay, gun is now baking in the oven.
(08:57:48 PM) Caelin: I'm afraid I am severely lacking in context here.
(08:57:49 PM) dkap: Umm... what?
(08:57:54 PM) Caelin: Wow, that was fast.
(08:57:59 PM) dkap: Have you turned into Chef D again?
(08:58:04 PM) Caelin: ahh, art project.
(08:58:10 PM) Auricle: and my husband has ignored my subtle hints to NOT destroy my timer on the microwave
(08:58:16 PM) Auricle: er, I'm making a vera
(08:58:26 PM) Auricle: out of clay. firefly.
(08:58:32 PM) Caelin: :-D
(08:58:51 PM) dkap: What timer on the microwave? And destroy?
(08:59:11 PM) Auricle: you know how microwaves have timers? That. And he just made food, destroying it
(08:59:49 PM) dkap: Oh, resetting it, not so much destroying it.
(09:00:03 PM) dkap: I had this image of him, a large hammer and perhaps a chisel.
(09:03:02 PM) Auricle: sorry, had to go show off roboraptor chasing kitten.
(09:03:11 PM) Auricle: I really should videotape that.
(09:03:52 PM) dkap: And share with the rest of the class.
(09:04:26 PM) dkap: Well ... if there are general world questions I could answer (including things about the B-5 crew, who seem to be the most active of my current players ...)
(09:04:58 PM) Auricle: hmm.
(09:05:04 PM) Auricle: *ponder ponder*
(09:05:06 PM) Caelin: Hrm...
(09:05:27 PM) dkap: If it rained fish, could Jean's power do the opposite, and make less of them? No.
(09:06:17 PM) Auricle: Heh
(09:06:22 PM) Auricle: How about snails?
(09:07:56 PM) dkap: What about the snails? The ones that invaded Chaos?
(09:10:50 PM) dkap: Or the ones that Chef D enjoys cooking and eating?
(09:10:53 PM) Auricle: Er, I dunno.
(09:10:58 PM) Auricle: I just thought, snails.
(09:11:33 PM) dkap: Ahh ... gotcha. How about smuggling beagles. Or wobbly-headed dolls.
(09:15:35 PM) Auricle: eh, not much market for it.
(09:15:55 PM) Caelin: LOL
(09:16:18 PM) Auricle: So, hmm, is reality settling down properly? Or as properly as anything inhabited by Amberites can?
(09:24:44 PM) dkap: *grin* One would hope it is more settled than that. Most of the Amberites are plotting at the moment instead of stirring things up, or hiding, like Caelin.
(09:24:58 PM) Caelin: ???
(09:25:10 PM) Caelin: Don't tell me Caelin has the most common sense of all the Amberites?!?!
(09:26:51 PM) dkap: Nope. Just, at the moment, he is expressing the "better part of valor" remarkably well.
(09:27:04 PM) Caelin: Heh. Good.
(09:27:16 PM) Caelin: Well, also Caelin is hiding from a LOT of duels.
(09:27:34 PM) Auricle left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(09:28:47 PM) Kintani [~chatzilla@c-76-119-154-169.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(09:29:03 PM) dkap: Kintani! YAY!
(09:29:16 PM) dkap: Good to see you, my friend. I have some plot, just for you!
(09:29:33 PM) Caelin: Yo!
(09:29:34 PM) Kintani: Should I hide?
(09:29:43 PM) Caelin: No. I'm hiding already.
(09:30:24 PM) dkap: No, actually, you could hide, but I think this is something you would rather be taking care of.
(09:30:42 PM) Kintani: Damn, if i don't know where you are, I can't risk hiding, because, with your luck, i'll find your spot and be at ground 0.
(09:31:11 PM) dkap: You see, someone has declared your kind evil (no surprise, it happens all the time) and is hunting (again no surprise, usually follows on) but is hunting successfully.
(09:31:32 PM) Kintani: Oh Joys.
(09:31:50 PM) Kintani: Where was I before the new Hunters popped up?
(09:32:36 PM) dkap: Curled, at a short distance from the Count, as he is trying to decant Caelin's Apprentice Caerlan.
(09:32:43 PM) dkap: (Tim's Character.)
(09:33:10 PM) Kintani: What did Caelin do to him now?
(09:33:12 PM) Caelin: hunters?
(09:33:12 PM) Caelin: Yeesh. Glad I'm not in your shoes.
(09:33:12 PM) Caelin: Yes.
(09:34:07 PM) dkap: Caelin, in fact, didn't do anything to him, and was somewhat successful in his rescue, as was Auricle, and Jean, believe it or not.
(09:34:24 PM) Kintani: Wow. Wonders never cease. ;-)
(09:34:56 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:35:35 PM) Caelin: Yes. Maybe it was mostly due to one of Caelin's head prisoners. ;-)
(09:35:54 PM) Kintani: How is this info about the newest string of dragon-killers coming to me?
(09:37:04 PM) dkap: Via a rumor that either Dragons are missing, or they are shirking their duty, as commanded by the Dragon Council.
(09:37:34 PM) Kintani: Hmmm... So, these reports are not yet verified.
(09:38:13 PM) dkap: Nope.
(09:38:47 PM) Auricle [~chatzilla@pool-96-233-178-225.spfdma.east.verizon.net] entered the room.
(09:38:49 PM) Kintani: Is there an existing protocol for such things, or are they all stupid and arrogant enough to just roll with it until it's too late?
(09:39:03 PM) dkap: But which is worse, they ignoring edicts of the Dragon Council, or they have been hunted down, and slaughtered?
(09:39:48 PM) dkap: You haven't established a protocol that I know of, and Dragons used to be plentiful enough that if some got hunted ... oh well.
(09:39:49 PM) Kintani: Which Dragons, Edicts, and where were they last known to be?
(09:40:44 PM) Auricle: OMG, my lag and my silly connection.
(09:40:50 PM) Caelin: D'oh!
(09:41:39 PM) Auricle: but, we still seem to be in Q&A mode. Hi Kintani.
(09:42:01 PM) dkap: The Edicts to help haul (and not eat) Kraken the next shift did not fully show up.
(09:42:09 PM) dkap: Which Dragons, some of the newly hatched.
(09:42:30 PM) dkap: And they were last known to be hanging out in Shadow, resting up for their stint.
(09:42:34 PM) Kintani: Allo Auricle
(09:43:02 PM) Kintani: Okay, so they're not likely getting hunted in the Sea, that's good.
(09:44:07 PM) Kintani: Ask my torque if he's seen anyone killing Dragons lately, since he was keeping an eye on the Kraken-haulers when we set that up.
(09:44:50 PM) dkap: He's not seen anything along that line, but he's been distracted lately, and might not have noticed.
(09:45:06 PM) Kintani: It was a blind hope, but worth checking.
(09:45:42 PM) dkap: Indeed worth checking, but no help in that direction, alas.
(09:45:53 PM) Kintani: Grab one of the Assassins that's usually tailing me when I'm not in the Sea, and ask him/her to check if there's anyone in the Guild hunting Dragons while they're on Serpent Business.
(09:47:45 PM) dkap: The Assassin looks shocked at the very suggestion, and points out that hunting kin of the Guildmistress would be a faux-pas of phenomenal size.
(09:48:57 PM) Kintani: It would, but how many people outside of the Guild can he think of with the skill to kill a number of Dragons with no real trace or warning.
(09:50:55 PM) Kintani: I'd rather doublecheck with the Guild, and also inform them of the incidents so they are aware.
(09:51:00 PM) dkap: Well ... who's to say it didn't leave a trace? As to warning, well ... Dragons tend to think themselves indestructible (and, often, rightly so) so ... warning might have been there plenty, and either just ignored or thought ... "How cute, some dude with a tube is telling me what to do. What does LAWS mean?"
(09:52:12 PM) Kintani: Well, figuring those Dragons were moving in groups, one would have to hope that at least one of them would have the sense to warn people if his or her kin were getting slaughtered.
(09:52:38 PM) Kintani: I could be too hopeful though.
(09:52:47 PM) dkap: They weren't really moving in groups, they spread out in shadow to hunt, and relax until it was their time to haul Kraken again.
(09:52:57 PM) Kintani: Dragons haven't shown the greatest skill in common sense, historically
(09:53:32 PM) dkap: Nope.
(09:53:57 PM) Kintani: Very well, inform the Guild about the possible deaths, since the Princess will want to know, and I've been trying to get better about using proper channels.
(09:54:02 PM) dkap: Often they don't need to. They even entered into a debacle-waving contest with Caelin in recent history.
(09:54:14 PM) dkap: In person, or send an assassin?
(09:54:25 PM) Caelin: (Which debacle was that? YOu have to be more specific)
(09:54:26 PM) Kintani: Send an Assassin
(09:54:58 PM) dkap: The whole former-former head of the Mages' guild.
(09:55:21 PM) Caelin: (heh. gotcha)
(09:55:42 PM) Kintani: Check with the Count that he won't need me for some time. If he's too focused to be disturbed, inform one of his entourage and personally doublecheck that the area is secure.
(09:56:19 PM) dkap: They (the Ifrit) are doing a good job of protecting him.
(09:56:26 PM) dkap: And he is very focused.
(09:56:56 PM) Kintani: Once that situation is secure, inform Orm over the Dragon Channel about the rumors and the disappearances, and that I'm going to go look into it.
(09:57:43 PM) dkap: Orm responds with "Busy, dealing with problems that Dierdre has raised."
(09:57:44 PM) Kintani: If he knows of any Dragons that he'd trust to scout and run to bring back info if they found anything, send one or two to scout the area of Shadow where the Kraken-haulers were last known to be in.
(09:58:06 PM) dkap: The area is big. What do Dragons care about distance in Shadow?
(09:58:19 PM) Kintani: Or pass me names if he's busy, and i'll breif them and drag them out
(09:59:22 PM) Kintani: Ask my Torque to keep an eye on any dragons he sees in shadow, and to let me know if he sees one get killed by anyone.
(09:59:45 PM) dkap: You actually know the names, for you were the one who assigned them.
(09:59:49 PM) dkap: Come to think of it.
(10:00:05 PM) dkap: And Jean is happy to keep an eye out for anything stupid, loud, or dangerous enough to kill dragons.
(10:00:31 PM) Kintani: I assigned the ones who were towing Kraken. I was looking for scouts who were smart enough to run first and survive to report later.
(10:00:54 PM) Kintani: I expect that to be a far shorter list. ;-)
(10:01:04 PM) dkap: Oh ... umm ... you have the cream of the crop hauling Kraken, because they could be trusted not to eat the Kraken.
(10:01:21 PM) dkap: Those _are_ the ones with even a modcom of common sense.
(10:01:27 PM) Kintani: Ah well, any presently off shift and still accounted for?
(10:01:28 PM) dkap: And they are all recent-hatched/
(10:01:34 PM) dkap: A few.
(10:01:54 PM) dkap: Most of the shift just ending, but that would leave you short-handed in the hauling department.
(10:02:01 PM) Kintani: Grab 2, and tell them we're going hunting for the stragglers and to see if there are Dragon-hunters out and about again.
(10:02:24 PM) Kintani: A little short-handed now is better than no haulers later.
(10:02:27 PM) dkap: The three of you are hunting, then.
(10:02:30 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(10:02:37 PM) Kintani: At worst, I can go back to hauling myself to make up the slack later
(10:02:49 PM) dkap: Are you going to suggest the rest stay somewhere protected, or stay in touch, or ... something?
(10:03:16 PM) Kintani: Keep channels open between all three of us.
(10:03:41 PM) Kintani: They are to search the areas from a distance, be wary and bolt if anything comes after them.
(10:03:56 PM) Kintani: Which is exactly what I'm going to do. ;-)
(10:04:21 PM) Kintani: Start my Hunting known missing Dragons.
(10:04:29 PM) Kintani: by hunting, even
(10:05:12 PM) Kintani: Oh, and also let the Serpent's Apprentice know, so he's up to date on what's going on with the Kraken-hauling, and that someone may be killing his helpers
(10:06:52 PM) Kintani: Assume that anything hunting the Dragons is capable of killing them, and most likely capable of pursuit through at least Shadow
(10:09:38 PM) Kintani: (If people are killing my best Dragons, I'm going to tie Caelin to a stick and beat them to death with him)
(10:10:03 PM) dkap: Now there's a delightful image.
(10:10:34 PM) dkap: Number One, Deploy the Debacle Stick. Engage!
(10:10:38 PM) Caelin: (???)
(10:10:38 PM) Caelin: (I didn't do nothin' this time!!!)
(10:10:38 PM) Caelin: (And seriously, like you haven't DONE that before...)
(10:10:39 PM) Kintani: Is the Winged Serpent awake?
(10:10:45 PM) Caelin: *DIES*
(10:10:50 PM) Auricle: (aigh!)
(10:11:48 PM) dkap: The winged serpent is hunting with Dalkintir.
(10:12:01 PM) dkap: They are trying to work out their alliance thing.
(10:12:10 PM) Kintani: Politely update him of the situation and tell him I'm looking into it.
(10:12:58 PM) Kintani: That should be enough people that if I die, they'll scrape me up and have me rebuilt. ;-)
(10:13:04 PM) dkap: He ackowledges that if it does need handling, you are more than probably capable of doing so.
(10:13:09 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(10:15:55 PM) dkap: And off you go. Into shadow. Winging forth.
(10:16:03 PM) dkap: Hunting those that no longer exist.
(10:16:14 PM) dkap: (and not finding them, because, well, they no longer exist.)
(10:16:23 PM) Kintani: Start the hunt as soon as the 2 weingmen are gathered up, and see if we can find anything.
(10:17:00 PM) Kintani: Also warn them about the Dragon Temple we found in Darkover, and tell them, if they see one, to stay away.
(10:17:52 PM) Kintani: Too many odd groups killing Dragons waay too easily lately...
(10:17:59 PM) dkap: You start a few religions, kick off a few prophesies, doomsday and saviour based.
(10:18:25 PM) dkap: Start some wars, stop some wars ...
(10:20:36 PM) Auricle: (It's always fun to hunt non-existent things for, you know, a break. Plus, confusing to one's enemies. Sometimes. Unless they are hunting the same things.)
(10:24:24 PM) Caelin: :)
(10:28:35 PM) Auricle: .
(10:31:36 PM) Auricle: Anyone still here? Or am I about to lag out again?
(10:31:46 PM) Kintani: Still here
(10:31:48 PM) Caelin: I am still here.
(10:31:51 PM) dkap: me as well.
(10:31:56 PM) Auricle: Okays.
(10:32:03 PM) Auricle: Just checking. You got very quiet.
(10:33:14 PM) dkap: Yes, he has begun the hunt.
(10:33:39 PM) Kintani: (Hunting is not a fast process, evidently. ;-) )
(10:33:40 PM) dkap: Be vewwy vewwy quiet. We're hunting Dwagon Slaywers.
(10:34:11 PM) Auricle: Got it.
(10:35:39 PM) Kintani: vb .hngmhjn b gfb?jj <-- Asher's input.
(10:35:57 PM) dkap: Anti-aircraft fire, in one of the wars you stumble across, is strong enough to actually damage one of your wing-dragons.
(10:36:01 PM) dkap: Go Asher!
(10:38:03 PM) Kintani: Debilitating damage or just nominal stuff?
(10:38:28 PM) dkap: Wing-tear, body-scar.
(10:38:37 PM) dkap: Would need healing, or magical assistance.
(10:39:26 PM) Kintani: Send him to the Count's location, and tell him to politely put himself in the queue. Come back when he's set. Keep the channel open
(10:41:11 PM) dkap: And then there were two.
(10:41:36 PM) dkap: Interesting that what some shadow-folk were using could effect such real creatures ...
(10:44:21 PM) Kintani: See if I can snag a weapon or two.
(10:44:49 PM) Kintani: Have one of the Assassins check it out later.
(10:45:24 PM) dkap: Snagging a weapon or two would mean actually engaging with them, are you willing to do so?
(10:47:55 PM) dkap: Or should you send in someone much less likely to be marked as dangerous and enemy, like ... umm ... say ... umm ... no, I'm not coming up with any of your allies who would be marked as _less_ dangerous.
(10:48:06 PM) dkap: Caelin probably looks the least dangerous, but ...
(10:48:13 PM) dkap: Natasha! She could pull it off.
(10:48:25 PM) Kintani: See if I can find a scouting group. Drop rocks on them from height. ;-)
(10:48:49 PM) Kintani: If that doesn't work, snag a chandriod helper and come back.
(10:48:58 PM) dkap: Whole shadow is torn with warfare. No real isolated groups that you could swoop.
(10:49:16 PM) Kintani: Hmmm... Need a shifter who can fit in.
(10:49:32 PM) Kintani: What's Darkstar up to? He's usually good for starting trouble. ;-)
(10:50:32 PM) dkap: Darkstar is ... currently listed as missing in action.
(10:50:42 PM) dkap: (aka hiding again, because he pissed someone off)
(10:51:03 PM) Caelin: (Maybe he and Caelin are related....)
(10:51:49 PM) dkap: Somewhere in the multiverse a bug just winced at the thought.
(10:52:05 PM) ***Caelin snorts!
(10:52:14 PM) Kintani: Hmmm.... Who's around and looking bored?
(10:52:30 PM) Kintani: Ask Jean for a list. ;-)
(10:52:45 PM) dkap: You could grab one of the hampsterites, they tend to be overlooked when they want to be.
(10:53:14 PM) Kintani: Which Hamsterites are free?
(10:54:50 PM) dkap: Hrm ... let me see ... Findo and Osric are switching off guarding for Norton, so one of them. Benedict is busy in Fringe Business. Dworkin is consulting with Dworkin, and training up his acolades in Dworkenetics. Oberon is guarding the pattern. Dierdre and Corwin are off with King Dierdre.
(10:55:56 PM) Kintani: See if Findo or Osric is interested in a Shadow armed with weapons that can harm a Dragon to the point where he needs to be magically healed.
(10:55:57 PM) dkap: Eric is free, Random has started a cheese concession stand in Chaos. Flora is helping Flora rebuild the Shifters and Dancers guild.
(10:56:21 PM) Kintani: I don't think i've met Hampster Eric yet.
(10:56:35 PM) Kintani: Hampster Flora scares me.
(10:56:59 PM) dkap: Random's sister (who's name starts with an "M" but I can't remember, Mirelle?) is also working on increasing her pattern knowledge.
(10:57:17 PM) Caelin: Yes, Mirelle
(10:57:38 PM) Kintani: I don't believe I've met her yet as well
(10:57:39 PM) dkap: Hampster Fiona and Hampster Brand are off on their "honeymoon" with the Firefly folks.
(10:57:58 PM) Caelin: ??? Honeymoon?
(10:58:03 PM) Caelin: They got married?!
(10:58:26 PM) dkap: Blaise is free. I believe he and Eric are playing cards.
(10:58:58 PM) dkap: They didn't get married, no. They are on the honeymoon voyage of the new firefly-replacement. It's taking two of them to keep those folks out of trouble.
(10:59:32 PM) dkap: And Julian is keeping Zach company.
(10:59:36 PM) dkap: Did I miss anyone?
(11:00:00 PM) ChanServ has changed the topic to: Game as Usual
(11:00:03 PM) dkap: Oh, right Caine is on his way to become a logrus master.
(11:00:22 PM) Auricle: (Cause that will work out well.)
(11:00:59 PM) dkap: Well ... there the logrus is galaxy sized ...
(11:02:36 PM) dkap: Let me go check the white-board, and see if I missed anyone.
(11:03:55 PM) dkap: The white-board doesn't even come close to mapping the family. *sigh*
(11:04:08 PM) dkap: I need a program that will do that. Perhaps one of my network diagramming programs.
(11:04:41 PM) dkap: But it did remind me of one. Llewella, who is a proud mother, after having taken that poor little fairie creature.
(11:05:01 PM) Caelin: heh
(11:05:25 PM) Kintani: (hehehe)
(11:05:28 PM) Auricle: hee
(11:07:34 PM) dkap: So, you have Eric, Bleyse and
(11:07:39 PM) dkap: !d 2
(11:07:39 PM) ChanServ: dkap: A 1 shows on the 2-sided die.
(11:07:44 PM) dkap: Finndo.
(11:08:45 PM) Kintani: Very politely ask them if they would do me the favor of aiding me in looking into this.
(11:10:36 PM) dkap: All? Or any one?
(11:11:58 PM) Kintani: All of them. They're an efficient lot. ;-)
(11:13:47 PM) Kintani: Besides, unlike most Amberites, they actually seem to like working together
(11:13:58 PM) dkap: Indeed. They are willing to forgo their nap and card game for you, and asked to be dropped a shadow or two over, so they could infiltrate ... perhaps ... less obviously than being dropped from dragon-back.
(11:14:21 PM) Auricle: (Hey! I like working with ...well, some Amberites anyways...)
(11:14:28 PM) dkap: Unless, you want one to continue with you, just in case you need further help? (What was that about Dragon arrogance again?)
(11:14:54 PM) Auricle left the room (quit: Quit: Chatzilla 0.9.77 [SeaMonkey 1.0.1/2006040400]).
(11:16:10 PM) Kintani: Keep one with me. Let them pick once they have an idea of the situation.
(11:16:35 PM) Kintani: Be clear, Kintani approaches everything figuring he's too small to handle it. ;-)
(11:16:38 PM) Caelin: Feh...phone call coming through, which will break up my internet. Can't promise I'll be back on after that.
(11:16:46 PM) Caelin left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving.).
(11:16:51 PM) Kintani: It's called a Survival insctinct
(11:16:51 PM) dkap: Right ... it's 11 anyway. We should hang.
(11:16:59 PM) dkap: !d 3
(11:17:00 PM) ChanServ: dkap: A 1 shows on the 3-sided die.
(11:17:01 PM) Kintani: Makes sense.
(11:17:08 PM) dkap: Finndo again, will hang with you.
(11:17:12 PM) Kintani: Cool.
(11:17:18 PM) dkap: !d 3
(11:17:18 PM) Kintani: Seems a good place to hang.
(11:17:18 PM) ChanServ: dkap: A 3 shows on the 3-sided die.
(11:17:23 PM) dkap: Just checking.
(11:17:31 PM) Kintani: !d 100
(11:17:31 PM) ChanServ: Kintani: A 36 shows on the 100-sided die.
(11:17:39 PM) Kintani: Wasn't a 1. ;-)
(11:18:07 PM) dkap: Exactly.
(11:18:13 PM) Kintani: In other news, i should be there tomorrow after work for more stuff
(11:18:21 PM) dkap: !d 3d6
(11:18:21 PM) ChanServ: dkap: The total is 10 from rolling 3d6+0.
(11:18:38 PM) dkap: I'll not be here, but knock yourself out!
(11:21:04 PM) Kintani: !d 5d1000+50
(11:21:05 PM) ChanServ: Kintani: The total is 3918 from rolling 5d1000+50.
(11:21:18 PM) Kintani: That's pretty versatile. ;-0
(11:23:56 PM) dkap: It is.
(11:24:13 PM) dkap: Of course, who carries around 5 d-1000's anymore.
