(08:20:05 PM) Cagliostro: and yay for gm sign
(08:20:59 PM) Spot: woohoo
(08:21:04 PM) Spot: ...erc
(08:21:05 PM) Delna: woot
(08:21:07 PM) Spot: cough
(08:21:10 PM) Spot: arrroooooo
(08:21:12 PM) Spot: I mean
(08:22:30 PM) mode (+o dkap) by ChanServ
(08:22:44 PM) dkap: Arooooo!
(08:24:03 PM) dkap: When we last left our intreped Wizard-fighters ...
(08:24:18 PM) Cagliostro: there was a tower of mages denying all knowledge
(08:24:23 PM) Cagliostro: not unlike the government in the x-files
(08:24:42 PM) Spot: indeed
(08:24:51 PM) Spot: I hadn't eaten them yet either
(08:25:33 PM) dkap: Something about "Sworn to uphold life, not take it." I believe?
(08:25:36 PM) Cagliostro: true.
(08:25:38 PM) Cagliostro: indeed.
(08:25:51 PM) Cagliostro: but the dissected people are not technically dying
(08:25:55 PM) Cagliostro: so there may be technicalities afoot
(08:26:02 PM) Cagliostro: I think it is probably time for an interloper huddle
(08:26:24 PM) Cagliostro: and Cagliostro will offer to bring a non-vital piece of an afflicted werewolf for demonstration purposes.
(08:27:47 PM) dkap: A non-vital piece? Or one who is already in pieces? Remember the closer proximity they are, the better they continue to function,
(08:28:03 PM) dkap: Separated by this much space, they may cease, entire.
(08:28:04 PM) Cagliostro: I did not remember that because I did not know that
(08:28:15 PM) dkap: Ahh ... it was in the "Simon briefing".
(08:28:16 PM) Cagliostro: but if it matters then yes, I can wheel in a disassembled wolf
(08:28:23 PM) dkap: The count did, but Sam might not have ...
(08:28:29 PM) Cagliostro: indeed.
(08:29:25 PM) dkap: Delna, Spot, any objections?
(08:29:41 PM) Spot: nope
(08:29:44 PM) Spot: I'm okay with it
(08:29:48 PM) Delna: If we need proof for them, and we can take every precaution and then some to keep them well, then no objection
(08:29:53 PM) dkap: Or, being there is more Vamps (both here, and vivisected) do you want to pull one of them in?
(08:30:30 PM) Cagliostro: I had thought about it, but didn't want to introduce the sunglight allergy variable
(08:30:38 PM) Delna: Vamps being undead technically might give them question
(08:30:39 PM) Cagliostro: I could -probably- work around it
(08:30:44 PM) Delna: also, that
(08:30:58 PM) Cagliostro: and I could also try to download the werewolf on the way in case there's a problem, anyway.
(08:31:24 PM) Cagliostro: but yes, also good to avoid getting into a discussion as to whether one can take the life of a vampire.
(08:31:40 PM) Delna: Do the mages object to the count leaving to do this?
(08:32:15 PM) Delna: I will of course remain here to keep an eye on things.
(08:32:47 PM) Spot: Better to work with a were I would think
(08:33:12 PM) dkap: The Mages object to the Count in general, but demand to see this "proof" that they do aught but nurture and bring life, not take it.
(08:34:29 PM) Delna: Ok. So we wait for count to leave and return with the proof they are looking for then.
(08:35:06 PM) Spot: And me, then? or can he just gate now
(08:35:28 PM) ***Cagliostro opens a gate to a light-blocked area in darkover, goes through,conjures a wheelbarrow, and wheels through a heaping helping of shredded werewolf.
(08:35:49 PM) Cagliostro: "I can just gate now, since I know where here is, thanks to you."
(08:35:50 PM) dkap: A gate cannot be created here. It's warded against such.
(08:36:07 PM) Cagliostro: dkap: how emphatically warded?
(08:36:11 PM) Cagliostro: (and how did they do that?)
(08:36:42 PM) dkap: Very emphatically warded, and it's with Faith's signature.
(08:36:51 PM) dkap: You don't think _they_ did that.
(08:36:51 PM) Cagliostro: Oh, right.
(08:37:00 PM) Cagliostro: I must remember to ask her how to do that.
(08:37:09 PM) Cagliostro: so how far do I need to go in order to open a gate?
(08:37:09 PM) dkap: And, I believe, the essence of the spell is the piece you taught her.
(08:37:22 PM) dkap: Probably about 100 yards. A quick walk.
(08:37:36 PM) dkap: It's the stairs and the barrow that might be a problem.
(08:37:56 PM) Cagliostro: bah
(08:38:23 PM) Cagliostro: if I bring in a magically floating platform a la han solo in empire, that should continue to work, yes?
(08:39:15 PM) dkap: Yes.
(08:39:22 PM) dkap: Or a flying carpet.
(08:41:00 PM) Cagliostro: a bier seems more appropriate
(08:41:45 PM) Cagliostro: so walk out, open gate to light-blocked area, conjure bulletproof floating bier under a pile of shredded werewolf, walk the bier back to the gate, go back through, shut down the gate, go up the stairs etc and return
(08:41:50 PM) Cagliostro: should take a couple of minutes
(08:41:58 PM) Cagliostro: leaving a nicely awkward tableau ;)
(08:42:48 PM) Spot: I just stand there with Delna and wonder if the mages are tasty
(08:43:02 PM) dkap: Spot, Delna, doing anything while you wait? Meiglan is picking her teeth with her spurs on the back of her hands.
(08:44:27 PM) Spot: I can stare at them.
(08:45:06 PM) Delna: If no one has already asked them what the purpose of their magic is, I will inquire and request more detail than that which they have already given
(08:45:10 PM) dkap: Most of them are ignoring you, continuing what they were doing the head lady has simply crossed her arms, and is standing quite still, waiting ...
(08:45:24 PM) dkap: She seems disinclined to answer.
(08:47:18 PM) dkap: And the Count is back.
(08:47:23 PM) Delna: "If you don't wish to answer as to the nature of the magic you are working which is ripping apart our people, fine. But I should think that if you are really as innocent as you claim you would be a little more concerned and discontinue your present rituals."
(08:47:52 PM) dkap: She gives Delna a stony look.
(08:48:06 PM) dkap: She will die within a 2 year span, most probably.
(08:48:07 PM) Delna: "And here is your proof now."
(08:48:23 PM) Delna: (just what I was going to inquire about next)
(08:49:15 PM) dkap: Do you get cause when you look?
(08:49:37 PM) ***Cagliostro wheels in a floating bier of shredded werewolf.
(08:49:43 PM) Delna: Can't remember, have to look
(08:50:57 PM) dkap: It'd be good to know.
(08:51:58 PM) Cagliostro: I don't recall cause being mentioned in the past.
(08:52:07 PM) dkap: Then, we'll go with that.
(08:52:14 PM) Delna: Does not seem so.
(08:52:52 PM) Delna: Less of a seeing future thing and more of a seeing oblivion currently present on one's life trajectory
(08:53:00 PM) dkap: When you wheel in the Woof, she simply stands forward and says: "See! Preserving life." While gently stroking the spaces that the tendrils would obviously be. (Spot, you can see them in the Umbra if you look.)
(08:53:14 PM) dkap: About two years out, then.
(08:53:37 PM) ***Spot snarls.
(08:54:52 PM) dkap: One of the other women in the circle, without seeming to change demeanor, or concentration calls out "There's another one, Mistress, we need you, again."
(08:54:52 PM) Cagliostro: "What do you know about the dissection process that requires this preservation?"
(08:56:46 PM) Delna: gm: Do we see any changes in what is around us, or are they focused in s particular direction that someone might be able to look at through one of the special lenses they have?
(08:59:00 PM) dkap: It's not apparent, they seem to be concentrating inward on the stone.
(09:00:34 PM) Cagliostro: gm: I presume Cagliostro gets ignored?
(09:00:42 PM) dkap: Pretty much.
(09:01:06 PM) dkap: They seem to be focusing. You could probably stick that new sword you are carrying right through them, and they wouldn't even stop you.
(09:01:36 PM) Cagliostro: That would be rude.
(09:01:50 PM) Cagliostro: gm: look through the lens and see if I can figure out what they're focusing on.
(09:02:24 PM) dkap: They are focusing on the stone. And, not, apparently, any further. With or without the lens.
(09:02:40 PM) Cagliostro: bah. life mages.
(09:03:44 PM) dkap: Indeed. *shrug*
(09:03:45 PM) Cagliostro: to the group: "Perhaps this group is simply correlated, and not the cause."
(09:04:19 PM) Spot: Does that mean i get to eat them?
(09:04:26 PM) Delna: "Perhaps, but I think they have more answers they are not sharing with us. I would like to know what is happening right now."
(09:04:27 PM) dkap: Cagliostro's radio makes a low beep.
(09:04:30 PM) Raziel_ [~chatzilla@ool-4354aed1.dyn.optonline.net] entered the room.
(09:04:55 PM) Spot: "I have to admit I'm a bit hungry. In general. Not necessarily for mage."
(09:05:27 PM) Cagliostro: to radio: "Yes?"
(09:05:28 PM) Spot: (hi Raz)
(09:05:33 PM) dkap: Hi Raziel_!
(09:05:49 PM) Raziel_: (hey all)
(09:06:14 PM) Delna: "Spot, if you eat them now we may have no way of saving those who have already been torn apart. Their magic is likely the only thing keeping them alive."
(09:06:23 PM) Delna: (hola)
(09:06:36 PM) dkap: crackling voice on the radio: Sorry to bother you, sir, but a whole bunch of the octagons went off, and then a minute later two of the Sleeping Vamps were cut open."
(09:07:14 PM) ***Cagliostro hms.
(09:07:19 PM) Cagliostro: "Perhaps we should return?"
(09:07:58 PM) Spot: "Perhaps they are the cause'
(09:08:00 PM) dkap: voice: "They are stable, but you wanted to know ..."
(09:08:01 PM) Delna: "I think they have more that they are not telling us. Perhaps they know what is doing this."
(09:08:20 PM) Spot: "They start staring at that stone and then more of your people are hurt?"
(09:08:26 PM) Meiglan [~chatzilla@72.170.197.76] entered the room.
(09:09:20 PM) Cagliostro: to radio: "What was the exact time the octagons were set off?"
(09:09:34 PM) Cagliostro: (hello, meiglan!)
(09:10:45 PM) Cagliostro: gm: basically, I want to see when things happened related to the "it's happened again, we need your help" comment
(09:10:55 PM) Meiglan: (wow, I actually got in! The computer gods are happy with the sacrifice.)
(09:10:58 PM) dkap: Just before, time-wise.
(09:10:58 PM) Cagliostro: if the head whatever joined in before or after the badness started
(09:11:07 PM) Cagliostro: hm.
(09:11:20 PM) dkap: So Badness, then joined in.
(09:11:23 PM) Cagliostro: to Spot: "Possible, or possible that they were staring into the stone because it had happened."
(09:13:31 PM) ***Spot hmms.
(09:13:35 PM) Spot: "Maybe.
(09:14:17 PM) dkap: When they are done, the stone is slightly less bright, slightly less blue.
(09:14:47 PM) Cagliostro: "Shall we return to the Inner World? Delna, we can return you and Meiglan to the dark side of the world."
(09:15:50 PM) dkap: The elder holds up her hand to you.
(09:15:54 PM) Spot: "But...we don't know what's going on!"
(09:15:57 PM) dkap: As if to instruct you to wait.
(09:16:18 PM) Delna: Delna turns and waits
(09:16:35 PM) Cagliostro: "True. But now we have more after-effects to examine."
(09:16:44 PM) Cagliostro: "The triggering of my detectors, that is."
(09:19:00 PM) Delna: "If they are trying to keep the life of those of our people who are being cut open, maybe they will want to help us stop what is doing this."
Meiglan meiglan
(09:21:24 PM) dkap: I'll be back in a moment. You might want to catch meiglan up while I'm on the phone.
(09:21:50 PM) Meiglan: "I'd kinda like to know what's going on. In case we half to open up a can of whoop-ass."
(09:23:57 PM) Cagliostro: meiglan: you know about the vampires and wolves getting sliced apart, right?
(09:24:39 PM) Meiglan: Yup, and we found out the mages are somehow involved.
(09:25:22 PM) Delna: We have found a group of mages spinning life threads in a tower that seem to be related to the mysterious slicing incidents. They claim they are not responsible but are able to see when the attacks are happening apparently. We are finishing investigating them to see what else we can learn
(09:25:30 PM) Cagliostro: yep
(09:25:48 PM) Cagliostro: the threads are touching the parts of the people who are sliced but won't die
(09:25:59 PM) Cagliostro: they are being polite, at least by local standards, which are very ... generous
(09:26:43 PM) Delna: We brought one of the sliced up werewolves here for them to see what is going on
(09:26:51 PM) Delna: Or rather, the count did
(09:27:16 PM) Delna: They were seemingly unsurprised
(09:27:24 PM) Cagliostro: and they claimed they only preserve life, and this was an example of same
(09:28:03 PM) Meiglan: Ok, so from the looks of things they are using their powers to keep the victims alive.
(09:28:22 PM) Spot: so they say
(09:30:24 PM) Delna: It seems. It could still be a by-product of their magic, perhaps a mishap of some kind that was introduced with the introduction of our species.
(09:30:48 PM) Delna: One which they are trying to cover up
(09:32:32 PM) Meiglan: hmmm, good point.
(09:36:24 PM) dkap: Sorry about that. Had to help someone remotely.
(09:37:48 PM) dkap: So, are you waiting for her to finish with this round? Or taking action?
(09:37:59 PM) Cagliostro: I think we are waiting, at least briefly
(09:38:24 PM) dkap: Ahh ... good good.
(09:42:17 PM) Spot: .....so does she finish this round?
(09:42:19 PM) dkap: After waiting, she turns to you folks again: "I apologize, I have the greatest strength, so I must help with the initial connecting."
(09:42:58 PM) ***Cagliostro nods politely
(09:43:54 PM) dkap: *sigh* Another moment.
(09:44:58 PM) Cagliostro: (was that you or her?)
(09:45:24 PM) Spot: (lol I assumed him)
(09:46:45 PM) dkap: Sorry.
(09:46:52 PM) dkap: Back.
(09:46:55 PM) dkap: Right ...
(09:47:17 PM) dkap: She continues: "You were saying something accusatory?"
(09:48:56 PM) Delna: "If we have accused unjustly then I will apologize most deeply. But you must understand our urgency and fear in this matter. Our people are being torn apart by something we can neither see nor fight."
(09:50:00 PM) dkap: She: "And we are making sure they don't pass on, after your horror has broken the pact."
(09:50:01 PM) Delna: "Do you know anything about what Is causing this damage to our people? You seem to be most familiar with the symptoms."
(09:50:32 PM) dkap: She: "Symptopms?"
(09:51:52 PM) Delna: "The bodies being sliced in such irrepairable ways. What is this pact you speak of?"
(09:52:20 PM) Spot: "Horror?"
(09:52:22 PM) dkap: She says "The great pact, between Husband and WIfe.."
(09:52:49 PM) dkap: She: "Anything that could (or would) do such things must be a horror."
(09:53:29 PM) ***Spot looks totally lost.
(09:55:04 PM) Cagliostro: "Oh? Oh! My goodness, I hope not."
(09:56:07 PM) Cagliostro: "Is there anything else you can tell us about this horror?"
(09:56:55 PM) Meiglan: "errr...Great Pact, Husband and Wife? What? "
(09:58:05 PM) Cagliostro: to meiglan: "I think I can explain a bit, in our terms. But... not here, and not now."
(09:58:28 PM) ***Spot scratches his head and still looks confused.
(09:59:29 PM) Meiglan: *Looks unsatisfied but nods...Later.*
(10:01:52 PM) dkap: She is standing and waiting.
(10:02:47 PM) Cagliostro: to Delna: "We may have already gotten all we can. I will return and begin investigating. The left-hand gate will lead to the night side of the world."
(10:03:12 PM) ***Cagliostro bows politely but somewhat perfunctorily to the mages, nods politely to the crystal itself, and leaves.
(10:03:39 PM) Cagliostro: creating two gates on the way out: one to the castle, and one on the left to a reasonable facility (or one that can be rented and made so quickly) on the night side of the world
(10:03:48 PM) ***Spot sighs. "This why we eat them. They never make sense. Never." *stalks off after Cagliostro*
(10:05:55 PM) dkap: Through his gate, or the left-side one?
(10:05:56 PM) Delna: to the elder "I can assure you we have meant no harm to anyone. I sincerely thank you for keeping our people alive. We will leave you now if there is no other information you will give to us about the horror you speak of."
(10:06:32 PM) dkap: She: "It's your horror, you should know more about it than us simple tower-keepers."
(10:07:24 PM) Spot: Ummmm,. I don't know which gate I'm supposed to take, lol.
(10:08:23 PM) dkap: So, flip a coin, or look through, one seems to go to a lit area, the other to darkness.
(10:08:51 PM) ***Delna nods "And these things are happening to us because of the horror you say we bring. Do you know who is causing these things to happen. Please, we want to understand so that we can right things. We mean to bring you no horror."
(10:09:04 PM) dkap: The lit area is where the Vamp's castle is, it looks familiar.
(10:09:17 PM) Spot: Well then that way I'll go.
(10:10:04 PM) dkap: She: The horror is none of us. We have our own, thanks.
(10:10:19 PM) dkap: Count, Spot follows you through the gate.
Meiglan meiglan
(10:10:35 PM) Cagliostro: sure sure
(10:10:37 PM) dkap: meiglan? Are you staying with Delna?
(10:10:48 PM) ***Cagliostro is going to check to see what happened to the wards etc. that the octagons triggered
(10:11:00 PM) Meiglan: Meiglan is staying with Delna.
(10:12:31 PM) Delna: "Ok. Thank you for speaking to me then. We will leave you."
(10:13:01 PM) dkap: She gestures to include both the door and the mirror: "Travel safe."
(10:14:00 PM) ***Delna bows "Safe-keeping to you as well."
(10:14:12 PM) dkap: She: "We do what we must."
(10:14:12 PM) Meiglan: Makes sure Delna goes through first, 'cause you never know with those creepy mages.
(10:14:23 PM) dkap: The door?
(10:14:31 PM) dkap: Down the stairs to the gates made?
(10:14:34 PM) Delna: gm: Has the gate closed I assume?
(10:14:43 PM) Cagliostro: both gates are open.
(10:14:48 PM) Delna: To the gates then
(10:14:49 PM) dkap: Into the bright, 3-sun desert, that doesn't seem to bother you.
(10:15:07 PM) ***Delna shivers
(10:15:47 PM) Delna: "I don't think I will ever get used to this sunlight trick"
(10:15:48 PM) dkap: And there are two gates before you, the one on the left leads to blessed darkness, the one on the right leads to the castle you have, of late, been inhabiting, it, too, seems to be in the day.
(10:16:08 PM) Delna: To the darkness on the left
Meiglan meiglan
(10:16:30 PM) dkap: meiglan, do you follow?
(10:16:47 PM) Meiglan: Follows Delna. "So, we brought the vivisecting horror with us, hmmm?
(10:16:57 PM) Cagliostro: the gate to the left leads to an Angor-Wat style temple
(10:17:02 PM) dkap: Darkness ... Blessed darkness.
(10:17:14 PM) Cagliostro: which, on further inspection, is the centerpiece of a closed amusement part.
(10:17:38 PM) Cagliostro: the park contains a number of buildings, all fairly well maintained and closed up, with plywood over windows.
(10:18:21 PM) dkap: A lone guard, snoring over his newspaper in the guard-shack, behind one of the few un-boarded windows.
(10:18:59 PM) Delna: "So they say" (speaking of vivisecting, did the count take the mangled wolf with him?)
(10:19:02 PM) Cagliostro: gm: kind of modeled on #5 on this list, I think. http://listverse.com/2008/03/10/top-10-interesting-abandoned-places/
(10:19:09 PM) Cagliostro: (good question, and the answer would be 'yes')
(10:19:32 PM) Spot: (So I'm back at the castle, then, ues?)
(10:22:03 PM) Cagliostro: (yep)
(10:22:10 PM) dkap: Yes.
(10:22:45 PM) dkap: Are the two of you doing anything in the carnival?
(10:22:55 PM) Spot: I'll go check on my woofs and their vamps then.
(10:23:27 PM) dkap: And Count, your cameras?
(10:24:16 PM) Meiglan: Is the guard human, supernatural, etc?
(10:24:18 PM) Delna: Looking around I suppose. Wondering why the Count put us here.
Meiglan meiglan
(10:24:39 PM) dkap: meiglan: human.
(10:24:42 PM) Cagliostro: indeed. whatever surveillance etc I put in place, both magical and non.
(10:25:03 PM) dkap: Each of the octagons has a camera, right?
(10:25:13 PM) dkap: And apparently they were all set off, at least once.
(10:25:17 PM) Cagliostro: that sounds like something Cagliostro might do
(10:25:22 PM) Cagliostro: "a bunch" were
(10:25:27 PM) Cagliostro: so the detection mechanism worked
(10:26:05 PM) dkap: It did. It lit the lights, and flashed the cameras. Unfortunately, it also, in this concentration blinded the woofs guarding.
(10:26:27 PM) dkap: Two, one on either side of ... Ammon.
(10:26:43 PM) dkap: Are now cut open.
(10:28:03 PM) dkap: Both from just outside Ammon's view, as if it was paying very careful attention to site-lines.
(10:28:05 PM) Cagliostro: how is Ammon?
(10:28:13 PM) dkap: Ammon is untouched.
(10:28:22 PM) Cagliostro: hm.
(10:28:27 PM) Cagliostro: Any video record?
(10:28:46 PM) Cagliostro: "Spot, can you tell whether someone's done that dimensional travel thing you do here?"
(10:29:02 PM) dkap: Lots, and lots of it. It's going to take a bit to go through if you are going to do it yourself, or, give it to a good staff to go through.
(10:29:10 PM) Cagliostro: give to staff then
(10:29:12 PM) Spot: "Into the Umbra?"
(10:29:16 PM) Cagliostro: "Yes."
(10:29:26 PM) Spot: GM: Can I tell if anyone has?
(10:29:30 PM) Cagliostro: But also check to see if there are any interesting images on a quick random sample of octagons.
(10:29:33 PM) dkap: Not especially.
(10:29:45 PM) dkap: (That was to Spot)
(10:30:10 PM) dkap: You never do anything randomly, which do you pick?
(10:30:25 PM) Spot: "not really. Maybe I could track if I knew what I was looking for." *looks around for the bat spirit to see if it saw anything*
(10:31:09 PM) dkap: Bat spirit is outside, in Simon's operating theater.
(10:31:43 PM) Cagliostro: the two sliced ones
(10:31:49 PM) Cagliostro: then the ones adjacent to them
(10:32:12 PM) dkap: The two sliced ones turn on to blood.
(10:32:47 PM) dkap: There are 7 adjacent ones.
(10:32:54 PM) dkap: Who had a shot.
(10:33:24 PM) Cagliostro: check 'em all
(10:34:14 PM) dkap: Indeed, I'm just letting you know,
(10:35:15 PM) dkap: The 7 of them are spread in their timing, one "side" of them start recording a few miliseconds before the blood spray, and the others, after it has begun.
(10:35:25 PM) dkap: It, at least, gives you a directionality.
(10:36:56 PM) dkap: Delna: No instructions or insight are forth-coming.
(10:38:11 PM) Delna: Then, if Meiglan has no other thoughts, I will suggest that we wander and check things out.
(10:39:31 PM) Delna: to Meiglan, "Is there anything in particular you want to take a look at? We may have to wait here a bit before we see the Count come back."
(10:40:02 PM) Cagliostro: gm: so nothing visible in any recorded wavelength?
(10:40:23 PM) Cagliostro: gm: next question - are the post detection wards up or down? translation, were they broken or evaded?
(10:40:37 PM) Meiglan: Checking the place is a good idea. "I'd like to make sure there's no one else here but that sleeping guard. I'd also like to see if there's some place safe for us to hole up if morning comes and the Count isn't back. Someplace nice and defensible."
(10:41:25 PM) Raziel_ left the room (quit: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.86 [Firefox 3.6/20100115144158]).
(10:41:38 PM) Delna: "That's a good plan. Let's stick together until we have a better lay of the place."
(10:41:55 PM) dkap: Evaded, they are still up.
(10:43:00 PM) Cagliostro: gm: nothing trapped inside them that Cagliostro can see, even with the lens?
(10:43:22 PM) dkap: Nothing trapped inside them, no.
(10:43:37 PM) Cagliostro: gm: Actually, I'll fill them with fog before lifting them to make sure they're empty
(10:43:43 PM) dkap: And it's possible that the further away ones, along the path of travel, might have caught something.
(10:43:51 PM) Cagliostro: true
(10:43:56 PM) Cagliostro: so I'll check them all.
(10:45:07 PM) dkap: The shadow of a shape is disernable. Mostly human, but with an odd, larger on top, smaller on the bottom shape, with a flair for the legs.
(10:45:13 PM) Meiglan: "I don't think we should separate at all. Strength in numbers and all that."
(10:47:05 PM) dkap: Both of you together, with eyes on each other, just in case, find only the sleeping guard, and there is an underground section that used to be a haunted ride that might make a lovely place to hole up in the light.
(10:48:16 PM) dkap: The shadow seems to ... almost swim through the space, rather than walk it.
(10:48:34 PM) Cagliostro: show it to Ammon.
(10:48:36 PM) dkap: It doesn't take a straight path at all.
(10:48:37 PM) Cagliostro: "Look familiar?"
(10:48:43 PM) Cagliostro: and to Spot.
(10:49:04 PM) Spot: GM: Look familiar?
(10:49:10 PM) dkap: Ammon shrugs like a dog: "Looks vaguely human, to me."
(10:49:30 PM) dkap: Spot, not really, although ... you might think it a were or a metis.
(10:49:47 PM) dkap: Simply because it _is_ deformed in some way.

(10:51:27 PM) dkap: Delna, meiglan: At one point there is a jangling noise, The guard mutters to himself, drags himself over to the fence, and starts yelling at the kids trying to climb it, an poking them with his night-stick, but not harder than necessary than to knock them from their task.
(10:51:54 PM) Spot: "Looks sorta metis. Kinda deformed. Could be something wyrm, then? But I haven't sensed anything Wyrm other than the vamps."
(10:51:59 PM) dkap: Guard, muttering to himself, "Bloody kids. Won't leave enough alone."
(10:52:13 PM) dkap: (That's "well enough alone")
(10:52:55 PM) dkap: He snaps his paper open, in front of his face, apparently oblivious to you two, apparently.
(10:53:17 PM) dkap: You are either well-concealed, or too much for his mind to comprehend.
(10:53:36 PM) Meiglan: Tries to see if they are really kids without being observed, of course.
(10:54:00 PM) dkap: You could see _and_ hear the kids.
(10:54:04 PM) Cagliostro: gm: is that enough to start scrying on?
(10:54:10 PM) dkap: It might be.
(10:54:22 PM) dkap: Most probably. But we should probably hang here ... *grin*
(10:56:15 PM) Cagliostro: makes sense
(10:56:28 PM) dkap: Another exciting episode has passed. Stay tuned, true readers, for the next episode: "Will the Count get his Man? How much are the rides? If Simon fixes the cuts, will the weavers weavings unweave?
(10:56:56 PM) Spot: And will Spot get to eat a Mage?
(10:57:06 PM) dkap: How much tractor would a con-tractor con, if a con-tractor could con tractors?
(10:57:14 PM) dkap: Yay eat a mage! *grin*
(10:57:21 PM) Spot: all right then, night!
(10:57:27 PM) Cagliostro: night!
(10:57:30 PM) dkap: See you folks next week. It seemed to be a good run tonight.
(10:57:31 PM) Delna: heheh, good night!
(10:57:36 PM) Spot left the room.
(10:57:42 PM) Cagliostro left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving.).
(10:57:48 PM) Delna left the room (quit: Read error: EOF from client).
(10:57:52 PM) Meiglan: mmmm children..tasty...
