(08:11:46 PM) Cagliostro: woo
(08:13:56 PM) mode (+o dkap) by ChanServ
(08:14:21 PM) dkap: Woot?
(08:14:52 PM) Cagliostro: wooty
(08:14:58 PM) Cagliostro: woo, gm sign
(08:15:05 PM) dkap: We aren't expecting Mike, because he's on the Road to CaliFornicated.
(08:18:33 PM) Cagliostro: these things, they happen.
(08:18:54 PM) dkap: He'll be out there for a while, so, we might get him sporatically.
(08:20:29 PM) Cagliostro: but not for that late at night
(08:21:20 PM) dkap: Indeed, although, with his show schedule, he might be able to make the run, and still make an 8:00 call.
(08:22:37 PM) dkap: So ... where did we leave off? Something about a cessation of reality?
(08:23:22 PM) dkap: Followed by an unmaking of ammo, followed by a griffin attack?
(08:23:38 PM) Cagliostro: I was just about to remember what I did to screw over magic users
(08:23:57 PM) Cagliostro: i.e, conjure a magic-eating crystal in the ground underneath wherever I can sense the magical working is
(08:25:45 PM) dkap: Ahh ... a good call. Provided they don't deconjur them so quickly.
(08:25:52 PM) dkap: (or as quickly)
(08:26:39 PM) dkap: Maybe you could try and coordinate with that that was ripping the mystic inertia out of the ammo, and get that source to put some of that mystic inertia into your crystals?
(08:27:35 PM) ***Auricle looks at the clock and realizes she'd opened this window.
(08:28:19 PM) Cagliostro: is there any reason to think that's necessary?
(08:28:29 PM) Cagliostro: the main thing I'm worried about is keeping my own magical shields out of the zone.
(08:30:53 PM) dkap: Well... someone, possibly someone there, has mad conjuration skills, and apparently can effect the mystic inertia of things.
(08:31:14 PM) dkap: So, you might be just wasting your effort conjuring something that will simply be deconjured heartbeats later.
(08:31:28 PM) Cagliostro: I thought I was doing the deconjuring
(08:31:35 PM) Cagliostro: and someone else was doing the mystic inertia stuff?
(08:31:44 PM) Cagliostro: I don't recall seeing anything get deconjured
(08:32:30 PM) dkap: Simple, and logical speculation as to where the ammo came from in the first place.
(08:33:03 PM) Cagliostro: that's conjuration, though
(08:33:22 PM) Cagliostro: so your point is that I might conjure something that the opponent might be able to deconjure
(08:33:23 PM) Cagliostro: which is true
(08:33:29 PM) dkap: And deconjuration is the opposite side of that coin.
(08:33:31 PM) Cagliostro: but 1) in the short term it'll screw up their magical working
(08:33:45 PM) Cagliostro: 2) I can conjure as fast as they can deconjure, and Jagers are eating their army
(08:33:47 PM) Cagliostro: so I win on a tie.
(08:33:59 PM) caelin [~fircuser@m365336d0.tmodns.net] entered the room.
(08:34:03 PM) ***Cagliostro figures he's screwing up their exit spell.
(08:34:07 PM) Cagliostro: Caelin!
(08:34:15 PM) Cagliostro: I guess it was 'screwing up their spell' that did it
(08:34:19 PM) caelin: here now
(08:35:26 PM) Auricle: hi
(08:35:56 PM) dkap: Aren't you driving hell-bent-for-leather down a highway somewhere?
(08:36:43 PM) caelin: nope. in youngstown right. i start out again in the morning
(08:37:40 PM) dkap: Ahh ... good good.
(08:40:30 PM) dkap: Indeed. You are concentrating on conjuring and re-conjuring them in the most ... unfortunate, for them, places.
(08:40:58 PM) Cagliostro: yes.
(08:41:14 PM) Cagliostro: if they de-conjure them, it will surprise cagliostro briefly, but he'll just redo them
(08:41:24 PM) Cagliostro: and if they explode or turn into dust, he'll look around for Caelin.
(08:43:35 PM) dkap: They neither explode, nor turn to dust, but they are deconjured almost as fast as you can conjure them, with the power they are sucking going right back into the spell that is being created.
(08:44:10 PM) Cagliostro: now -that- is unusual.
(08:44:34 PM) dkap: Indeed. Worth noting.
(08:44:35 PM) Cagliostro: can I act on the spell more directly?
(08:44:46 PM) Cagliostro: I've only done that to my own spell when I break them down.
(08:44:51 PM) dkap: Not, as such. That really _is_ Caelin's department.
(08:46:28 PM) Cagliostro: hm.
(08:46:58 PM) Cagliostro: how far am I from the jagering crowd?
(08:48:53 PM) dkap: You, Griffins, Bulk of their army, Jagers, and then allegedly their command post of Zach and Auricle, and their commanders.
(08:49:48 PM) Cagliostro: hm. so not hugely close.
(08:50:11 PM) Cagliostro: how close to the magical working?
(08:51:06 PM) dkap: Not that far, it's in the mid-back (aka, closer to you) of the invading army.
(08:51:29 PM) Cagliostro: right, I was afraid ofthat
(08:51:41 PM) Cagliostro: wander over to the magical working
(08:51:49 PM) Cagliostro: while trying to figure out what it is
(08:51:54 PM) Cagliostro: obviously not a simple teleport at this point
(08:51:59 PM) dkap: Umm ... you would have to make your way through the Griffins fighting their rear-guard.
(08:52:37 PM) Cagliostro: and?
(08:53:31 PM) dkap: Just saying that you would have to do more than simply wander over.
(08:54:13 PM) Cagliostro: even with my shields?
(08:54:18 PM) Cagliostro: I wandered over this far
(08:54:23 PM) Cagliostro: why not a little further?
(08:54:36 PM) dkap: Well ... it's a matter of style, and happenstance, rather than simply wandering.
(08:54:53 PM) dkap: You could probably either fight your way through, or sneak your way through. Wandering? Not so much.
(08:55:23 PM) Cagliostro: sneak, then.
(08:55:30 PM) Cagliostro: but not more than is dignified.
(08:55:44 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:55:52 PM) dkap: Do you take any Ifrit with you?
(08:56:45 PM) Cagliostro: I didn't take any with me this far
(08:57:40 PM) dkap: Good good, just checking.
(08:57:58 PM) dkap: You have penetrated the Griffin line, and the edge of the enemy line.
(08:58:47 PM) dkap: Auricle, there is a huge build-up of power in the area in the middle of the battlfield, so much so that the very reality is beginning to warp around it.
(08:59:30 PM) Auricle: That's not good. Stabilize reality....can I pull the power into keeping reality stable there as opposed to warping?
(09:00:29 PM) dkap: It's as if they are trying, by magic, to make their own rules in the vicinity, as opposed to letting the shadow's rules hold true.
(09:01:28 PM) caelin left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(09:01:36 PM) Auricle: hmmm....
(09:02:03 PM) Auricle: Zach...do something about the magic while I hold reality in place?
(09:02:35 PM) Auricle: If you can turn it into power I can use.... *grins*
(09:03:31 PM) dkap: Zach shrugs and says: Not really my forte. You're always the one grabbing various powers by the tail, as I calmly and logically rip it's power-source away.
(09:04:16 PM) Auricle: Well...rip then.
(09:05:08 PM) dkap: He points out that he'd have to get there, first.
(09:05:11 PM) Auricle: GM Start adding reinforcements into reality....I was yanking reality from the ammo, can I push that into what's warping?
(09:05:23 PM) dkap: Indeed, you can.
(09:05:29 PM) Auricle: Then I do so.
(09:06:37 PM) dkap: (Somewhere, in the sea of chance ... a small piece of fruit is given form ... and like coral, it starts attracting other solid things ...)
(09:08:46 PM) Cagliostro: mmm. Synchronicity.
(09:09:06 PM) dkap: Cagliostro, there is a shift of the power ... it's now struggling harder, pulling at all sources around it, including you.
(09:12:37 PM) Cagliostro: Can I block it?
(09:12:44 PM) Cagliostro: or otherwise interact with it in a negative way?
(09:12:50 PM) Cagliostro: can I _bind_ it?
(09:14:54 PM) dkap: For a moment, you succeed in binding it, or binding to it. And then you feel the force of the personality that is Auricle, pushing at it from the other side. And you have a moment of worry that it might tear you apart.
(09:15:04 PM) dkap: But, just a moment.
(09:15:39 PM) ***Auricle mutters 'No rewriting reality while I'm here, whatever you are.'
(09:16:01 PM) Cagliostro: it = the spell, or it = auricle?
(09:16:25 PM) dkap: it= the spell.
(09:19:21 PM) Cagliostro: hm.
(09:19:22 PM) dkap: A moment, I'll be back. Plot and scheme amongst yourselves ...
(09:19:27 PM) Cagliostro: so more magic than I can handle, eh?
(09:19:34 PM) Cagliostro: sounds like time for the better part of valor.
(09:26:16 PM) Auricle: ...hard to plot and scheme from opposite sides of the battlefield
(09:27:22 PM) Cagliostro: we're out of practice ;)
(09:28:05 PM) Auricle: Indeed
(09:28:13 PM) Auricle: Of course, I don't plot and scheme.
(09:28:21 PM) Auricle: I just do whatever seems reasonable to me at the time.
(09:28:38 PM) Cagliostro: sounds reasonable.
(09:28:58 PM) ***Auricle grins
(09:42:48 PM) dkap: Sorry about that.
(09:43:06 PM) dkap: Important phone call ... and took longer than I had wanted.
(09:44:06 PM) Cagliostro: so, it seems from my brush with that spell that I'm better off workingmy way back to Auricle and Zack
(09:44:08 PM) Cagliostro: at some speed
(09:50:56 PM) dkap: Back to? You started across from them.
(09:51:09 PM) dkap: (I had to check my notes)
(09:51:23 PM) Cagliostro: ?
(09:51:46 PM) Cagliostro: Oh, yes, that is true. Not back to.
(09:52:01 PM) Cagliostro: I should go and report in, though.
(09:52:08 PM) Cagliostro: do I think I can do a quick gate to the forest?
(09:52:13 PM) dkap: Probably.
(09:52:15 PM) Cagliostro: not specifically to them, because I don't know where they are.
(09:52:19 PM) Cagliostro: do so.
(09:53:13 PM) dkap: Auricle, the Count suddenly appears, behind you.
(09:53:44 PM) dkap: (Actually, you appeared some distance away, but you walk ... quietly.
(09:54:35 PM) Auricle: I'm holding together reality, would I notice?
(09:55:26 PM) dkap: That's why you notice him ... suddenly.
(09:56:33 PM) Cagliostro: "So... to report. There is someone doing a rather elaborate magical working, which I believe you may have noticed."
(09:56:53 PM) Cagliostro: "The spell is trying to seize onto power sources, including the items I was attempting to conjure to disrupt it."
(09:57:44 PM) ***Auricle eeks.
(09:58:06 PM) Auricle: Don't sneak like that!!!
(10:02:15 PM) Auricle: "I'm trying to hold reality together here!"
(10:02:41 PM) Cagliostro: "My apologies. You seem to be doing an excellent job of it."
(10:02:50 PM) Cagliostro: "Is further withdrawal ... prudent?"
(10:04:06 PM) Auricle: "I can't undo the magic. Can't you guys?"
(10:04:18 PM) Auricle: "But it's trying to rewrite ... here."
(10:04:29 PM) Auricle: "I think the Rangers will be a *little* upset."
(10:04:53 PM) Auricle: "By which I mean Zack. Of course."
(10:07:02 PM) Cagliostro: "Not I. I have used the techniques I know, and they have failed."
(10:08:44 PM) Auricle: "Can you get Zack closer then?"
(10:09:22 PM) Cagliostro: "Of course."
(10:09:30 PM) Cagliostro: to Zack: "How close do you want to get?"
(10:10:26 PM) dkap: Zach: UP close and PERSONAL!
(10:13:43 PM) Auricle: "That's my Zach."
(10:16:05 PM) Cagliostro: *nod*
(10:16:17 PM) Cagliostro: gm: do I have an idea of how close i can gate without getting my spell drained?
(10:16:48 PM) dkap: Well ... if you set it up to happen fast enough, ground zero.
(10:16:51 PM) dkap: And you can.
(10:16:58 PM) Cagliostro: do so
(10:17:18 PM) dkap: Zach steps through.
(10:17:45 PM) Cagliostro: gm: ward, watch, and be ready to drop the gate
(10:17:48 PM) dkap: Just before your spell is torn to shreds, you see a giant hand reach through, grab him, and pull him out of existence.
(10:18:02 PM) Cagliostro: okay, belay that.
(10:18:02 PM) dkap: Auricle, you _know_ Zach is no longer ... local.
(10:18:10 PM) Cagliostro: to auricle: "That was not something I expected."
(10:18:25 PM) Auricle: "ZACK!"
(10:18:46 PM) ***Auricle turns on Cagliostro.
(10:18:51 PM) Auricle: "What was THAT?"
(10:19:23 PM) dkap: The Ifrit that was hanging out by you mentions that that hand resembles the hand that grabbed Benedict.
(10:20:13 PM) Cagliostro: "Really! Hm."
(10:20:13 PM) ***Auricle has stopped caring about reality.
(10:20:37 PM) Cagliostro: gm: who was in charge at that fiasco.
(10:20:54 PM) Cagliostro: "This situation is apparently related to another one. One that involves... Caelin."
(10:22:12 PM) ***Auricle looks like that's just a distraction too.
(10:22:16 PM) Auricle: "But what happened??"
(10:22:36 PM) Cagliostro: "He was grabbed and taken away, in the same way the non-hamster Benedict was."
(10:23:43 PM) Cagliostro: (gm: put a question mark near that last quesiton. If I don't recall, I'll ask an Ifrit.)
(10:24:18 PM) dkap: Yes, the Ifrit confirms. And notices that there are marks on the hand that weren't there before.
(10:25:48 PM) Cagliostro: but who was in charge?
(10:26:02 PM) Auricle: "You are not being helpful. Taken where? Why? How? How do we get him back?"
(10:26:46 PM) Cagliostro: "I don't know the answer to any of those questions."
(10:26:57 PM) Cagliostro: but if the GM responds to me, I might be able to tell you who does...
(10:27:11 PM) dkap: Caelin was right .... that what the Ifrit confirmed.
(10:28:52 PM) Cagliostro: right, but "who was in charge of that fiasco" is a question I've asked a couple of times
(10:29:06 PM) Cagliostro: ooc, I've either forgotten it or didn't know it.
(10:29:19 PM) dkap: Caelin was in charge, and the target.
(10:29:20 PM) Cagliostro: and if Cagliostro doesn't know, I'll ask, but I wanted to check if I knew.
(10:29:23 PM) Cagliostro: oh,dear.
(10:29:54 PM) caelin [~fircuser@m3d5a36d0.tmodns.net] entered the room.
(10:29:58 PM) Cagliostro: "The last time the hand came through, it was after Caelin and took the Benedict who isn't a hamster."
(10:30:12 PM) Cagliostro: "I'm not sure who to ask who would know what was going on."
(10:30:51 PM) dkap: Actually, Caelin might be the only one to ask ... and the Ifrit knows he's in Thelbane.
(10:32:02 PM) ***Cagliostro is biased in that respect.
(10:33:06 PM) dkap: Indeed, he is.
(10:34:11 PM) Auricle: "Well, then, that's no help either."
(10:34:41 PM) Auricle: GM: I know he went nonlocal, do I have a sense of direction?
(10:35:00 PM) dkap: No, but you could probably pattern-teleport to him.
(10:35:37 PM) Auricle: OOCly wonders if she's *that* impulsive.
(10:36:39 PM) Cagliostro: didn't I meet you in one of Gwen's cages?
(10:36:45 PM) Cagliostro: the quesiton is whether you've learned or not. ;)
(10:37:43 PM) Cagliostro: that would be a Jean question, even.
(10:37:43 PM) Auricle: you did
(10:37:52 PM) Auricle: I was in one at least twice.
(10:39:45 PM) Auricle: GM: Survey the battle...who's winning now?
(10:40:05 PM) dkap: The Jager.
(10:40:10 PM) dkap: (Of course)
(10:41:33 PM) dkap: Helped by the Griffins, and the fact that the pincer movement was countermanded by Julianna, when she saw the enemy not advancing into the Jager, just holding their ground, and absorbing lots of damage.
(10:41:57 PM) dkap: So the Rangers are assisting the Jager, mostly by precision shooting.
(10:42:09 PM) Auricle: what's happening with the power?
(10:42:28 PM) dkap: It's still gathering, now faster that neither of the two of you are countering it.
(10:43:19 PM) Auricle: "All right....What could all that power there do?"
(10:43:37 PM) Cagliostro: gm: what -could- alll that power do?
(10:44:35 PM) dkap: Change the nature of reality. Bring in something really powerful?
(10:44:56 PM) dkap: Nothing you would do, or ever have done, would need this much power.
(10:45:15 PM) dkap: Caelin works with this level of power, to rip patterns out of their resting place.
(10:45:27 PM) dkap: To tear holes in reality.
(10:45:30 PM) Cagliostro: "A great deal. More than I have ever done, or thought about doing."
(10:45:42 PM) Auricle: ...
(10:45:48 PM) Cagliostro: you know, I think -this- is worth phoning home about.
(10:45:52 PM) Auricle: "You are the least helpful person ever."
(10:45:54 PM) Cagliostro: gm: does Cagliostro have a Jean?
(10:46:03 PM) dkap: There is one overhead.
(10:46:11 PM) ***Cagliostro shrugs. "Think of whatever you want. More than that."
(10:46:19 PM) Auricle: Gargoyle: possible uses of that much power?
(10:46:23 PM) Cagliostro: "Jean? Could you inform Ilkandacian that we have a situation?"
(10:46:39 PM) Auricle: GM: How badly is reality warped now?
(10:46:59 PM) Auricle: Sadly, reality will take precedence over Zack, he can in fact survive on his own usually
(10:47:07 PM) dkap: Ilk, in the tree, what type of situation?
(10:47:42 PM) Cagliostro: "There's a giant hand pulling in Caelin levels of power in the realm of Amber, apparently to change reality. Oh, and the hand grabbed Zach."
(10:48:46 PM) Cagliostro: gm: is it possible to gate a spell somewhere?
(10:48:59 PM) dkap: Yes.
(10:49:06 PM) Cagliostro: gm: do I think _I_ could do it?
(10:49:25 PM) dkap: Ilk: Like, changing the garden-level of changing reality?
(10:49:50 PM) Cagliostro: "I don't know what that means. Like, Caelin doing something major level."
(10:50:02 PM) ***Cagliostro looks helpless at Auricle.
(10:50:15 PM) dkap: Ilk: Right .. I'll send someone right there.
(10:50:43 PM) Cagliostro: "oh!" says Cagliostro. "I do have one idea."
(10:51:07 PM) ***Auricle is back to trying to hold reality steady.
(10:51:19 PM) Cagliostro: "Was it you or Zach that was lowering the level of mystic interia in the ammunition - making something easier to deconjure?"
(10:51:34 PM) dkap: A beat of a hummingbird's wings later ... A sort-of non-descript, deep-blue-colored, multi-armed, multi-headed individual shows up.
(10:51:46 PM) ***Cagliostro bows politely.
(10:52:18 PM) Cagliostro: it is a non-chaosian bow, but it is polite and emphatic.
(10:53:22 PM) Auricle: "I pulled reality from the ammunition."
(10:53:35 PM) Auricle: "And shoved it into the Shadow. To help hold it steady."
(10:54:13 PM) Auricle: "Because it's being rewritten as we're standing here."
(10:54:30 PM) ***Cagliostro hms.
(10:54:48 PM) Cagliostro: "I can create a magic-eating device, but it was being deconjured almost instantly and its power added to the spell."
(10:55:25 PM) Cagliostro: "If there was some way of adding enough mystic inertia to the magic-eating crystal so that it would stand up, it should disrupt the magical working."
(10:56:14 PM) Cagliostro: "Presuming, of course, that none of our allies needs magic for normal functioning."
(10:56:38 PM) Auricle: "What's mystic inertia?"
(10:56:53 PM) Auricle: "Reality?"
(10:56:59 PM) ***Cagliostro looks uncomfortable.
(10:57:12 PM) Cagliostro: "It does seem to be the term in common parlance, but I object to it."
(10:57:34 PM) Cagliostro: "It appears to lead to people considering those with low mystic inertia to be less 'real', and therefore less worthy of continued existence."
(10:58:28 PM) Cagliostro: to the visitor: "Do you require any information from us on the current situation?"
(10:59:28 PM) dkap: The visitor looks at you with two of his heads.
(10:59:38 PM) dkap: Ulfred: Not really.
(11:00:05 PM) ***Cagliostro nods in acknowledgement. "Please let me know if your needs change."
(11:00:16 PM) Auricle: "well, if you need something real...I can manage that."
(11:00:27 PM) dkap: Ulfred: I'm just marveling at the response of having a tear in the Shadow, being bolstered by a brand-new garden.
(11:00:45 PM) dkap: Ulfred: You already have ...
(11:01:53 PM) Auricle: "...brand-new garden?"
(11:02:11 PM) Cagliostro: "Just to confirm - the lack of magic will not hinder what you're doing to protect reality?"
(11:03:28 PM) Cagliostro: (to Auricle)
(11:03:50 PM) Auricle: "Magic......."
(11:03:53 PM) ***Auricle shrugs.
(11:04:00 PM) Auricle: "I have no idea. "
(11:04:35 PM) Auricle: "I rather feel like something is trying to rewrite the code to the shadow and I'm writing the countermeasure as I go."
(11:04:43 PM) ***Cagliostro hms.
(11:05:08 PM) Cagliostro: "Worth a try regardless?"
(11:05:15 PM) ***Auricle grins and nods.
(11:05:17 PM) Auricle: "Yup!"
(11:05:53 PM) ***Cagliostro drops my shields and wards,and creates a magic eating crystal
(11:06:20 PM) dkap: It is there, in your hand.
(11:06:49 PM) Auricle: "You need that real as possible?"
(11:06:54 PM) Cagliostro: "Yes, please."
(11:07:37 PM) ***Auricle pulls reality from part of the army's equipment and makes the crystal 'realer'
(11:08:28 PM) dkap: It starts pulling better.
(11:08:53 PM) dkap: Something (out there) is trying to make it go away, you (Auricle) might have to amp it further.
(11:09:14 PM) Cagliostro: "Ideally, we should give this to a griffon who can fly the crystal nearer the working while you maintain its existence."
(11:09:27 PM) Cagliostro: "Depending on the sapience of griffons, you might want to ask for volunteers."
(11:09:41 PM) Auricle: GM: I'll just pull from whatever I can from the invaders.
(11:09:54 PM) Auricle: "Hurry it up."
(11:10:00 PM) dkap: They are quite sapient, and would probably fight for the privilege, according to Julianna.
(11:10:04 PM) Auricle: "Before I start yanking on the Shadow itself"
(11:10:36 PM) ***Cagliostro hands the crystal over to Julianna. "We don't have time for a fight - can you get this close to the working?"
(11:10:41 PM) ***Cagliostro describes the location to Julianna
(11:11:04 PM) Cagliostro: gm: handwave to make it clearer that I'm loooking for Julianna to pick a griffon, not to schlep it herself.
(11:12:18 PM) dkap: Julianna summons one of the griffins based on some measurement of her own, mentions "Point Zero" and off it goes.
(11:12:35 PM) dkap: Auricle, you are still enforcing it's reality, as someone else is trying to strip it away.
(11:12:44 PM) Auricle: nodnod
(11:12:58 PM) dkap: Cagliostro, you figure, you need 6 or 7 more of them to make a big dent, but only one at a time.
(11:13:32 PM) Cagliostro: "We'll need six or seven more to affect that working, I'm afraid."
(11:13:52 PM) ***Cagliostro creates a second one.
(11:14:23 PM) Cagliostro: gm: quick question - does the size of the crystal relate to its magic-eating potential?
(11:14:33 PM) dkap: Nope.
(11:15:00 PM) dkap: Your buttons are as effective as the large crysltals.
(11:15:03 PM) Auricle: "oh boy."
(11:15:15 PM) Cagliostro: okay. Keep them palm-sized, then.
(11:15:24 PM) Auricle: GM: Is there enough army for me to use to strengthen them?
(11:16:13 PM) dkap: Which army?
(11:18:01 PM) Auricle: the one the Jaegers are eating
(11:19:53 PM) dkap: Yes.
(11:20:10 PM) Cagliostro: I'll continue to conjure and hand over magic-eating crystals to Julianna.
(11:20:16 PM) Auricle: Well, then I will drain the army to strengthen the crystals.
(11:21:19 PM) dkap: The griffin manages to drop it, right in the center.
(11:21:33 PM) dkap: The second griffin is a little off, by about 4 feet.
(11:21:44 PM) dkap: The third crystal lands just between them.
(11:21:56 PM) dkap: The fourth just above the 3rd.
(11:23:52 PM) dkap: Etc.
(11:23:54 PM) Cagliostro: "The crystals -might- explode at some point, by the way. They're more likely to turn to dust around Caelin, though."
(11:25:45 PM) Auricle: "Er...that good or bad?"
(11:26:13 PM) caelin left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(11:26:40 PM) Cagliostro: "Potential side effect. Magic-based items are not guaranteed to function normally in high-magic zones."
(11:26:54 PM) ***Cagliostro continues.
(11:28:12 PM) ***Auricle shrugs, and will make the crystals real for as long as Cagliostro makes them.
(11:35:52 PM) dkap: After a little bit, there is a final burst of magic, and then all the magic ceases.
(11:36:04 PM) dkap: And the last of the army is overrun.
(11:36:54 PM) Cagliostro: gm: any sign of a working somewhere else?
(11:37:12 PM) Auricle: GM: How's reality holding now?
(11:39:53 PM) dkap: Reality is holding strong. One of the griffins managed to dive-bomb the last burst of energy, and got through it.
(11:40:05 PM) dkap: Reality is now holding strong.
(11:40:27 PM) dkap: Ulfred: I'll be going now.
(11:40:48 PM) ***Cagliostro bows.
(11:41:31 PM) dkap: The jager finish eating the rest of the army.
(11:43:31 PM) Auricle: Yay Jager
(11:43:41 PM) Auricle: "Now how do we get Zack??"
(11:45:00 PM) Cagliostro: "I... have no idea."
(11:45:13 PM) Cagliostro: "You could travel to Caelin and see what he's doing to get to this Benedict person."
(11:45:50 PM) Cagliostro: "Not that I'm saying that's a -safe- option."
(11:46:33 PM) Auricle: ..or I could notice it's 11:45
(11:46:59 PM) dkap: Ahh ... it is, indeed.
(11:47:19 PM) Cagliostro: indeed.
(11:47:47 PM) Auricle: so I'll see folks next week
(11:47:48 PM) Auricle: :D
(11:48:16 PM) Cagliostro left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving.).
(11:48:23 PM) ***Auricle waves
(11:48:25 PM) Auricle left the room.
