(08:15:52 PM) mode (+o dkap) by ChanServ
(08:16:00 PM) Spot: sinus issues
(08:16:57 PM) Cagliostro: bah, those aren't fun
(08:16:59 PM) dkap: That'snot pleasant.
(08:17:06 PM) Cagliostro: especially in spring, with the plants sexing
(08:17:24 PM) Meiglan [~chatzilla@72.170.197.76] entered the room.
(08:17:46 PM) Spot: no it's not
(08:18:12 PM) Spot: I've got a sore throat and can't talk and am very suffed up
(08:18:29 PM) dkap: Well past pleasant.
(08:18:44 PM) dkap: I do have some good news, though.
(08:19:07 PM) dkap: Stormy, unless things go horribly right for him in the next week, will be relocating back to Massachusetts.
(08:19:31 PM) Spot: Ooooh!
(08:19:35 PM) Spot: Really??
(08:19:37 PM) Spot: AWESOME
(08:19:40 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:20:07 PM) ***Spot would bounce, but that requires way much energy
(08:20:08 PM) dkap: He will find out if the last ray of hope for a job where he is will show up by this Friday, and, if it doesn't, away north he comes.
(08:20:33 PM) Cagliostro: oh, interesting
(08:20:44 PM) Cagliostro: we might have quorum for face to face players ;)
(08:22:08 PM) dkap: Might ... but not likely often. *grin*
(08:22:22 PM) dkap: With Gleep out west, and Meiglan north of here by a few hours ...
(08:22:35 PM) Cagliostro: yep. and I'm not even in the state tonight.
(08:22:40 PM) dkap: And Delna's still in Florida ...
(08:22:43 PM) Cagliostro: but it could happen. when the stars are right.
(08:23:03 PM) Cagliostro: so, where last did we leave these peoples?
(08:23:05 PM) Cagliostro: having breakfast?
(08:23:20 PM) Cagliostro: also - is Malcolm out in the breakfast crowd?
(08:23:31 PM) Cagliostro: or is he still bumping around Serenity with no one the wiser?
(08:24:15 PM) dkap: I believe he is (finally) passed out on a stretcher. Not clear if he passed out, and was placed there, or passed out there ... but ...
(08:25:18 PM) Cagliostro: but we don't care ;)
(08:25:28 PM) Cagliostro: good for him, though
(08:25:45 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:27:03 PM) dkap: There was a whole, lovely scene that involved him bemoaning to everyone that "I can't find her, ANYWHERE" and Inara, from behind him, saying "Can't find whom?" and him whipping around ... and shouting "YOU! You are lost and I can't find you!"
(08:29:59 PM) dkap: But, yes, I believe we stopped just before Breakfast.
(08:30:13 PM) Cagliostro: yep
(08:30:16 PM) Cagliostro: and we have the gorgon
(08:30:27 PM) Cagliostro: who has not yet introduced herself
(08:30:38 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:30:45 PM) Cagliostro: and did you say the other vampires were still active post-dawn?
(08:31:25 PM) dkap: Only the two with you.
(08:31:32 PM) dkap: And they don't seem fatigued at all.
(08:32:21 PM) dkap: Your guest is thinking of teaming up with one of the attackers of Neo-neo-neo^7 Tokyo.
(08:32:36 PM) dkap: They want to make cheese together.
(08:33:10 PM) Cagliostro: which guest is that
(08:33:11 PM) Cagliostro: ?
(08:34:03 PM) dkap: Yes, they are thinking of naming it after them. Gorgon-Zilla cheese.
(08:34:22 PM) Cagliostro: ah...
(08:34:25 PM) Cagliostro: run your game.
(08:39:00 PM) dkap: I was just checking the end of the log, in case there was anything I forgot.
(08:40:03 PM) Cagliostro: k
(08:40:05 PM) Cagliostro: was there? :)
(08:42:02 PM) dkap: Not that I can see.
(08:42:17 PM) dkap: It looks like Breakfast, before bearding the Tower Ladies again.
(08:44:00 PM) Cagliostro: it does indeed
(08:46:17 PM) Delna: If I remember my character correctly, she doesn't eat food..and has extremely heightened senses..so will be going far away from breakfast
(08:47:06 PM) dkap: And enjoying a "cuppa" with Meiglan some distance away?
(08:47:09 PM) dkap: *grin*
(08:48:52 PM) Cagliostro: breakfast is at the Serenity shed around the impact crater, so the castle should be out of smell's reach
(08:49:01 PM) dkap: Good good.
(08:49:16 PM) Delna: Likely. Don't know when the last time I had nourishment was
(08:49:20 PM) dkap: It should be relatively quiet there.
(08:49:36 PM) dkap: And, yet, you carry the cup around with you ...
(08:49:46 PM) dkap: No reason not to take a sip every now and again.
(08:50:22 PM) Delna: Would think that, work always takes over my mind first though
(08:50:34 PM) Delna: and Delna's mind : P
(08:50:46 PM) dkap: Indeed. True enough.
(08:50:48 PM) Meiglan: a "cuppa" sounds absolutely delicious. But none of those little china fru-fru cups.
(08:51:26 PM) dkap: Nope the golden blood-goblet that Delna carries, that refills with good, tasty blood.
(08:55:35 PM) Meiglan left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
(08:56:25 PM) dkap: That's ... unfortunate.
(08:56:33 PM) Cagliostro: indeed.
(08:57:02 PM) Meiglan [~chatzilla@72.170.197.76] entered the room.
(08:57:55 PM) dkap: Ahh ... she is returnith to our conversation. Good good.
(08:58:46 PM) Meiglan left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
(08:59:26 PM) Cagliostro: bah
(08:59:45 PM) Cagliostro: we may need to find a more meiglan-friendly chat medium somehow
(09:00:02 PM) dkap: Possibly, although the google wave one really didn't inspire me.
(09:00:24 PM) dkap: And, her cranky connection might someday be solved, if Comcast ever does finish what it promised.
(09:03:06 PM) Cagliostro: yeah, not so much with google wave.
(09:05:09 PM) Cagliostro: so, chat a bit with the Gorgon and fill her in delicately on the fact that she's been imprisoned and missed the apocalypse
(09:05:27 PM) Cagliostro: but fortunately we have found shelter in the storm, as these have found shelter with us
(09:06:46 PM) dkap: She looks around at the folks gathered.
(09:07:11 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "What's so special about these folks, as opposed to any other folks?"
(09:07:34 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "Looks like a standard Questing Pool of Talent to me."
(09:09:22 PM) Cagliostro: "These particular people used to be employees of the King of Chaos."
(09:09:39 PM) Cagliostro: "I was mostly referring to the vampires in the castle up on the hill, as well as the werewolves present here."
(09:10:01 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "Not knowing the individual, for I've been out of circulation for a while, but that makes them good Questers, then?"
(09:11:02 PM) dkap: Some vampires, some werewolves, yourself a mage, all you need is a shiny Hero or two, and a bunch of assistants, squires, sidekicks, and mounts, and you are a perfect Questing Party.
(09:11:25 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "Maybe a boat or two, as well, although, it seems you have the transportation thing licked ..."
(09:11:29 PM) Cagliostro: "It gave them access to a very special hamster, who brought them here when the universe imploded."
(09:12:04 PM) Cagliostro: "Well, that's a source of some trauma right now. They had a kind of boat that flew, and it doesn't work in this world. so it crashed."
(09:13:16 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "Aside from the flyiing part, that sounds like the normal state of affairs, for a boat."
(09:13:27 PM) Meiglan [~chatzilla@72.170.197.76] entered the room.
(09:13:30 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "At least, by the time I usually hear about it."
(09:14:04 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "Were the boat happy, and sailing about without problems, then, usually, there wouldn't be the Quest in the first place."
(09:15:08 PM) Cagliostro: "Fair point."
(09:15:25 PM) Cagliostro: re, Meiglan
(09:15:52 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "So, they are on Quest now? Do they need a Fellow Quester?"
(09:16:29 PM) Cagliostro: "Perhaps they do."
(09:17:18 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "What is their current Quest? My talents are ... well ... very focused, and I wouldn't want to be a drain, but if I can help ..."
(09:17:58 PM) Cagliostro: "They are currently trying to recover and repair their vehicle. I'm not sure what their quest was before that."
(09:18:13 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "Nipping the Evildoer out of time does make the transport problem to the appropriate Court of Justice often much easier ..."
(09:18:15 PM) Cagliostro: "We do want to look around here for other trapped people in the spirit world, though."
(09:18:26 PM) ***Cagliostro looks thoughtful. "Good point."
(09:19:13 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "Ahh ... I'm not very good at freeing the trapped, much. Were i, I probably wouldn't have been trapped so long, myself. But I have great sympathy for those who are, so ... if there is anything I can do to help, just ask."
(09:20:14 PM) Cagliostro: "Well, you can find them, perhaps."
(09:20:27 PM) Cagliostro: "Let us know the lay of the spirit realm, if you are willing and interested."
(09:21:50 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "I've got nothing else on my plate (except this delightful breakfast) so I'm happy to help.
(09:23:48 PM) Meiglan left the room (quit: Read error: Connection reset by peer).
(09:24:54 PM) dkap: Ahh ... just to add to the conversation, Inara's reaction to the Gorgon is completely urbane.
(09:25:17 PM) dkap: She's treating the Gorgon like she would treat another human being that isn't Mal.
(09:25:31 PM) Cagliostro: good for her.
(09:27:27 PM) dkap: It's a specific correction from the previous log entry about her.
(09:27:36 PM) Cagliostro: ah, okay
(09:27:40 PM) Cagliostro: innnteresting
(09:27:45 PM) Cagliostro: is Inara a PC now? :)
(09:28:49 PM) dkap: Not yet, but River's PC reminded me that her actions were contrary to what they normally would be.
(09:28:57 PM) Cagliostro: k
(09:29:07 PM) Cagliostro: so Cagliostro doesn't have anything in particular he planned to do
(09:29:16 PM) dkap: She wouldn't know from a Gorgon, and they had met several strange-shaped beings over the last little while, such that the Gorgon isn't that far from ordinary.
(09:29:21 PM) Cagliostro: so we can skip ahead to the gate to the tower women, if nothing else happens
(09:29:47 PM) dkap: Indeed, sounds like a plan. Are you taking Inara with you? Are you going to try and find River, and if so, are you taking her with you?
(09:31:20 PM) dkap: (By the way, Inara is apparently quite a talented cook, and understand food presentation, quite well ...)
(09:32:23 PM) Cagliostro: Inara would probably be a good person to bring along, yes
(09:32:34 PM) Cagliostro: River can seek her own path without my interference ;)
(09:32:42 PM) Cagliostro: but yes, I'd also rope in Delna and Meiglan
(09:33:34 PM) Cagliostro: "We need to make a trip back to the tower mages that were preserving the bodies of those ripped apart. The creature is contained, the bodies are repaired, so they can let those ripped apart heal naturally."
(09:35:49 PM) dkap: So, the party is Count Cagliostro, Inara, Delna, Meiglan, Spot? Anyone else? Your daughter and a hamsterite went along last time IIRC.
(09:38:19 PM) Cagliostro: I think so, but if they are unavailable, I'll go without them.
(09:38:26 PM) Cagliostro: I will check to see where they are before I go, though.
(09:38:31 PM) Cagliostro: Jodo should know.
(09:39:10 PM) Cagliostro: (at least about someone)
(09:43:07 PM) dkap: Jodo doesn't know where they are, but reminds you that they should be in phone/radio contact ...
(09:43:21 PM) ***Cagliostro calls his daughter
(09:45:02 PM) Cagliostro: (on a very 80s portable phone, I bet)
(09:46:39 PM) dkap: Indeed. Big chunky thing.
(09:46:54 PM) dkap: *ring, ring*
(09:47:11 PM) dkap: "Moshi, Moshi?"
(09:48:20 PM) ***Cagliostro says in Japanese, "Daughter, how are you?"
(09:49:56 PM) dkap: She replies in old Norse: "Fine, besides being evesdropped upon, yourself?"
(09:50:32 PM) ***Cagliostro in english, "Bother."
(09:51:15 PM) ***Cagliostro in High Gaelic, "Need a parental visit, or do you have things in hand?"
(09:51:37 PM) dkap: She replies in farsi: "The girls think they are being so secretive about it, as well."
(09:53:00 PM) dkap: In Thari: "Well within what I can cope with, what is up?"
(09:53:54 PM) Cagliostro: in finnish: "Getting ready to thank some women for doing us a favor during our recent time of separations."
(09:54:13 PM) Cagliostro: (Cagliostro, btw, does not speak Thari, but Ilk's translation spell still works on him)
(09:56:52 PM) dkap: In urdu: Ahh ... that's probably more important than the game these children are playing, I'll be along presently. The place of peace?"
(09:57:24 PM) Cagliostro: in latin: "Indubidably."
(09:57:38 PM) dkap: (I'm not sure Cagliostro speaks any or all of the languages, but Ilk's spell does work, and the Count is aware of when it's working, and when his native talents manage on their own.)
(09:58:10 PM) dkap: In Maori: "I'm on my way."
(09:59:26 PM) Cagliostro: (I wasn't sure if I was aware.)
(09:59:33 PM) dkap: It's magic. You are aware.
(10:01:26 PM) Cagliostro: k
(10:01:42 PM) Cagliostro: so I will hang up, and set up a gate to the tower
(10:01:46 PM) Cagliostro: and presumably meet Janice there
(10:03:30 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice is motorcycling down to you.
(10:03:40 PM) Cagliostro: ah, wait for her, then
(10:05:05 PM) dkap: She shows up in under 10 minutes.
(10:05:29 PM) Cagliostro: excellent
(10:05:30 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice: "Is there any breakfast left?"
(10:05:34 PM) Cagliostro: is everyone else collected?
(10:05:44 PM) ***Cagliostro waits for breakfast patiently
(10:05:48 PM) Cagliostro: probably serving tea
(10:05:58 PM) dkap: Everyone is (now) collected, yes.
(10:06:19 PM) dkap: Mistress Janice enjoys the bite of the crepes, strawberries and cream.
(10:06:37 PM) dkap: Seeing that that is the most portable of the breakfast food, and is happy to go while munching on it.
(10:07:10 PM) Cagliostro: excellent
(10:07:17 PM) dkap: Gate to just outside the tower, and go in through the umbra, and the mirror again?
(10:07:28 PM) Cagliostro: hmm...
(10:07:33 PM) Cagliostro: seems kind of antisocial
(10:07:42 PM) Cagliostro: and a hassle, with all the restitched crowd
(10:07:50 PM) Cagliostro: might as well gate outside the tower and go in through the door
(10:07:51 PM) dkap: Remember, the door is barred from the inside.
(10:07:54 PM) Cagliostro: or evne knock on the door
(10:08:23 PM) Cagliostro: gm: can I gate just -inside- the door?
(10:08:28 PM) Cagliostro: or is that part of the teleport-barred area?
(10:08:33 PM) dkap: And they were not paying much attention to the physical world, and there are wards (that you could get through) keeping people out, between the levels of the tower.
(10:09:07 PM) dkap: And they did seem just fine with you coming in through the mirror, the steps down, the lack of surprise when you appeared, and left that way ... if you recall.
(10:09:30 PM) dkap: And, yes, the whole tower is a "no fly" zone.
(10:09:41 PM) Cagliostro: hm.
(10:10:00 PM) Cagliostro: okay, sure, I'll talk to Spot and we'll redo the whole rigamarole
(10:10:05 PM) Cagliostro: if that is OK with Spot
(10:10:10 PM) Spot: I'm good with it
(10:11:58 PM) Cagliostro: okay, we do so
(10:14:28 PM) dkap: My bad. Is the Gorgon with you, as well, or did she get left behind?
(10:15:02 PM) Cagliostro: up to her
(10:15:50 PM) Cagliostro: "We are going to meet with some locals who were quite helpful to us, but who can be difficult to deal with. They are mages, and you can come with, or not, as you choose."
(10:18:41 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "Would my presence be a benefit to you, or a hinderance?
(10:20:20 PM) Cagliostro: "I cannot say. Likely, neutral."
(10:23:59 PM) dkap: Gorgon: "Then, if I am not an asset, I'd like to come along, to see how you folks Quest."
(10:24:21 PM) ***Cagliostro nods
(10:24:27 PM) Cagliostro: so - she is coming along
(10:24:35 PM) Cagliostro: we gate, umbra, and step out in the mirror again
(10:24:45 PM) Cagliostro: and Cagliostro lets someone else lead
(10:25:02 PM) Cagliostro: (and his player is falling asleep, as it was an early day today and will be again tomorrow)
(10:26:30 PM) dkap: Well ... unless anyone else wants to take the lead, we can hang here ...
(10:26:36 PM) dkap: It's been really quiet from the other players ...
(10:26:48 PM) dkap: And my Gorgon is falling asleep as well ...
(10:27:29 PM) Spot: sorry
(10:27:32 PM) Spot: I'm woozy
(10:28:28 PM) Cagliostro: we can call it a night, then
(10:30:03 PM) Spot: indeed
(10:30:47 PM) dkap: Until next time, where we get farther than Breakfast.
(10:31:23 PM) Cagliostro left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving.).
(10:31:44 PM) Spot left the room.
(10:37:59 PM) Delna left the room (quit: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.86 [Firefox 3.6.3/20100401080539]).
(10:39:09 PM) You have parted the channel: Leaving.

(08:05:17 PM) The topic for #dkap_amber is: Game as usual, logs at: https://www.train-wreck.org/~dkap/Amber/logs/ ; wiki-wiki at: https://www.rebel.org/wiki/
(08:07:19 PM) Spot: Hello!
(08:07:23 PM) dkap: Hrm ... that didn't work.
(08:07:30 PM) Spot: I don't know where everyone else is
(08:08:13 PM) mode (+o dkap) by ChanServ
(08:08:36 PM) Delna [~chatzilla@c-71-228-89-86.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] entered the room.
(08:08:39 PM) dkap: Right ... that worked.
(08:08:42 PM) dkap: Now I'm here.
(08:08:52 PM) dkap: Greetings, one and all.
(08:09:28 PM) Spot: Ah hello Delna!
(08:09:32 PM) Spot: And Dkap
(08:09:36 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:10:16 PM) dkap: They will each show up, in their time.
(08:14:03 PM) dkap: Are there any preps either of you wish to do, before going to the tower?
(08:16:23 PM) Spot: I believe as a tired male werewolf, emphasis on male, I was supposed to be quiet
(08:16:55 PM) Cagliostro [~sgorton@c-66-31-32-142.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(08:17:02 PM) Cagliostro: Summoned, I arrive.
(08:19:10 PM) ***Spot claps.
(08:21:22 PM) Delna: I don't remember a lot from the last game and our plan for the tower (if we had much of one). Other than kindly passing on the information to the women in the tower, what were our plans there?
(08:22:04 PM) Cagliostro: I think 1) getting them to lift whatever they've done to the people who were torn apart and 2) getting out in one piece without major diplomatic incident
(08:22:09 PM) Delna: Also, Delna doesn't know much about the trapping of the slashing spirit. She will ask Spot about what happened on that excursion so as to be caught up
(08:22:19 PM) dkap: That makes sense.
(08:22:21 PM) dkap: Spot?
(08:22:33 PM) Cagliostro: with a 3) of thanking them for their assistance
(08:22:44 PM) Delna: Right
(08:22:53 PM) Delna: Agreed
(08:23:42 PM) dkap: Thanking them might go a long way toward avoiding 2)
(08:26:00 PM) Delna: Yeah
(08:29:51 PM) Spot: Oh yeah I have the sword.
(08:29:57 PM) Spot: Sorry
(08:30:01 PM) Spot: I'm really here
(08:30:26 PM) Spot: I'm trying to find a way my ankle can rest elevated and still type on computer
(08:31:02 PM) Delna: Are the bodies in a state that the doctor thinks that if the witches' magic is removed the individuals will be able to heal and survive?
(08:31:22 PM) Cagliostro: the short form is that the slashing spirit has been bound into the sword
(08:31:27 PM) Cagliostro: all without our looking directly at it
(08:31:30 PM) Cagliostro: it's very upset.
(08:31:31 PM) Spot: Uhhh.... I haven't checked on the bodies.
(08:31:34 PM) Cagliostro: but also tightly bound.
(08:31:39 PM) Spot: And this is a very angry sword.
(08:31:46 PM) ***Spot hefts the sword.
(08:31:55 PM) Spot: Very, very angry.
(08:32:14 PM) dkap: And they are proximal, but they might not heal, immediately, without intervention of some sort.
(08:33:58 PM) Cagliostro: you mean the previously disassembled parts are now proximal?
(08:35:10 PM) dkap: Indeed, but not going back together, hence, the woman's assistance in the matter.
(08:36:13 PM) Delna: I would like to look at the bodies and talk to the doctor before we go. Find out what his thoughts are on the bodies mending and whether there is anything he can do to help the more severe cases
(08:37:19 PM) dkap: So, you are going to wake Simon?
(08:37:21 PM) dkap: Good good.
(08:38:00 PM) Delna: Oh, hmm. What time is it?
(08:38:26 PM) dkap: A little past dawn, locally.
(08:38:56 PM) dkap: You've now been up for nights, and the subsequent days, straight, with no signs of fatigue.
(08:39:07 PM) ***Spot yawns.
(08:40:38 PM) Delna: That is a bit concerning
(08:41:16 PM) Delna: We should probably rest before going to the tower, at least for those of us who are still feeling exhaustion
(08:41:42 PM) Delna: "Is there any reason we need to go immediately"
(08:43:08 PM) dkap: Delna and Meiglan are not tired at all, the Count goes weeks like this, without pause. Spot, you are a little worn-down.
(08:43:25 PM) Cagliostro: "We don't know to what effort the tower people are extending themselves."
(08:43:36 PM) Cagliostro: gm: wave hand and eliminate fatigue toxins from Spot
(08:43:56 PM) dkap: Spot, you suddenly feel as fit as a fiddle.
(08:44:08 PM) Spot: thanks.
(08:44:13 PM) ***Spot stretches.
(08:44:23 PM) Spot: "Feel much better now."
(08:44:25 PM) Delna: I suppose we should wake the doctor then
(08:44:52 PM) dkap: Does that give you some glee, Count?
(08:45:00 PM) dkap: He _is_ a Doctor, after all.
(08:45:24 PM) Cagliostro: a bit. ;)
(08:45:36 PM) Cagliostro: you'll notice that Cagliostro is not purging the doctor's fatigue toxins.
(08:46:00 PM) Meiglan [~chatzilla@c-24-147-4-60.hsd1.nh.comcast.net] entered the room.
(08:46:10 PM) dkap: *grin*
(08:46:15 PM) dkap: Meiglan: Welcom!
(08:46:30 PM) dkap: Welcome, even.
(08:46:34 PM) Meiglan: we has new internet service so hopefully no more bad internet!
(08:46:37 PM) dkap: YAY!
(08:46:47 PM) Delna: woohoo
(08:46:48 PM) Cagliostro: woo and hoo
(08:47:37 PM) dkap: So to Simon: Wakey-Wakey, eggs and baccy.
(08:48:32 PM) Spot: "Mmmm. Bacon. Do we have bacon here?"
(08:48:36 PM) dkap: Simon looks up groggly, mutters something about bedpans, and the state of the nurses here ... comes fully awake and looks at the closest patient, sees the bits still moving, and relaxes.
(08:48:43 PM) ***Spot pauses. "Or a pig? I could hunt a pig."
(08:49:37 PM) Cagliostro: "Perhaps later."
(08:51:00 PM) dkap: Simon blinks the sleep out of his eyes, and asks how long he's been asleep.
(08:51:52 PM) ***Cagliostro waits for the people who were here the whole time to answer.
(08:51:56 PM) Delna: "I'm not sure. It's dawn right now. We need your help."
(08:53:21 PM) dkap: Dawn, I went to sleep at dawn. I must have slept a whole day. Why don't I feel like it?
(08:54:55 PM) Delna: "..You probably went to sleep a few moments ago. I'm sorry."
(08:55:22 PM) ***Delna looks to the Count to see if he will do what he did to Spot
(08:56:03 PM) dkap: Count, you could put the toxins you banished from Spot into the Doctor ...
(08:57:11 PM) Cagliostro: gm: that would be unnecessarily cruel ;)
(08:57:33 PM) ***Cagliostro looks like his attention is studiously focused elsewhere.
(08:57:40 PM) Spot: ooc: doooo eeeeet
(08:58:55 PM) Cagliostro: ooc: Cagliostro is not an Amberite ;)
(08:59:48 PM) Spot: ooc: neither am I, but I am BSD
(09:00:58 PM) dkap: It's the quite whisper, across all the times Doctors have tried to be cruel to you ... *grin*
(09:01:26 PM) Cagliostro: more like all the times I've seen doctors make things worse
(09:02:03 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:05:26 PM) ***Delna looks back to the doctor, "We have to go to the tower, we are going to ask the women to lift their spell so that the injured can heal. But we need someone to watch over them as we are worried about some of them being able to heal."
(09:06:15 PM) Delna: "I am sorry to ask this of you now, but we are not sure how long the women in the tower can keep up their spells and think it best to do this soon."
(09:09:33 PM) dkap: Simon shrugs: "I to my duty, and you to yours."
(09:12:16 PM) Delna: "Thank you"
(09:12:52 PM) ***Cagliostro opens the appropriate gate
(09:13:28 PM) dkap: So, gate to outside the tower's blocked range, through a conjured mirror, into the Umbra, and back through their mirror, in the barred tower room ...
(09:13:54 PM) dkap: This you then do, with little to hinder you.
(09:14:00 PM) Spot: We're very good at it
(09:14:53 PM) dkap: The party count is: Count, Spot, Delna, Meiglan, Mistress Janice, Hamster Eric, anyone else I'm missing? An Ifrit or two to guard the mirror back out?
(09:15:08 PM) Cagliostro: we might as well bring a copule of Ifrit
(09:15:14 PM) Cagliostro: also the doctor and the patients, yes?
(09:16:00 PM) dkap: Sure, temp-hospital where you mirror in? Or take them all the way to the tower?
(09:17:54 PM) Cagliostro: I would say all thew ay to the tower
(09:17:59 PM) Cagliostro: unless anyone thinks this is a poor plan
(09:18:59 PM) Delna: We should make sure that the doctor has what he needs to help keep them together. We don't know what will happen when they lift their spell, whether or not they will all mend
(09:19:24 PM) dkap: And all that equipment might not survive the transit between the Umbra, and back, and might not work in the tower.
(09:19:30 PM) Delna: But it would be beneficial to have them in a place where we can see what is going on and have the women adjust their spell accordingly
(09:21:04 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:21:08 PM) dkap: Such decisions.
(09:21:46 PM) dkap: And, the spell might not hold across the Umbra, either.
(09:22:22 PM) Cagliostro: *that* is a reasonable point
(09:22:40 PM) Cagliostro: so yes, put them in a holding tent that gets conjured and stay outside the tower, while we go in
(09:23:05 PM) dkap: Any particular equipment you are pre-conjuring, like a bacta tank or two, just in case?
(09:24:22 PM) Cagliostro: nah
(09:24:28 PM) Cagliostro: I should be able to spot-heal anyone who needs it
(09:24:33 PM) Cagliostro: true?
(09:25:30 PM) dkap: If you are there ... if you are dealing with the ladies, you might be ... distracted.
(09:25:48 PM) dkap: You might also want to take a couple of memory-stones, just in case.
(09:26:18 PM) Cagliostro: don't I conjure the memory stones on the fly?
(09:26:48 PM) Cagliostro: but yes, I might be busy dealing with the ladies, but I believe that is unlikely.
(09:27:54 PM) dkap: You can conjure them on the fly, but, if you aren't there at the moment of their passing, again, better prepared, than trying to get the memories out of long-dead, no longer animated flesh.
(09:29:17 PM) Cagliostro: hm, fair point.
(09:29:30 PM) Cagliostro: gm: how many people are we bringing with us, sewn back together?
(09:30:42 PM) dkap: I believe 7, 5 vamps 2 woofs, anyone check my numbers? It might be more than 5 vamps.
(09:30:51 PM) Cagliostro: that sounds pretty close.
(09:30:58 PM) Cagliostro: I'll just back up the memories of those guys before we go
(09:31:25 PM) dkap: Good good.
(09:32:01 PM) Cagliostro: and then we'll go!
(09:32:33 PM) dkap: Into the tower. Not bad for an hour and a half. *grin*
(09:32:41 PM) Spot: yay
(09:38:03 PM) Cagliostro: Anything different at the tower or in the Umbra?
(09:39:38 PM) dkap: Nope. Tower they are still gathered around the stone. There is more of the food eaten, and the cleaning woman has nodded off in the corner. The honey-buckets look more full.
(09:39:45 PM) dkap: And there appears to be more of them.
(09:45:02 PM) dkap: So, you walk down the stairs, the ladies seem near to exhaustion, none of them even notice your entrance ...
(09:49:12 PM) ***Cagliostro lets someone else lead the way
(09:49:47 PM) dkap: Who volunteers?
(09:49:57 PM) Meiglan: Meiglan will lead the way. Makes a bit of extra noise to give a heads-up.
(09:51:06 PM) Delna: Delna actually had planned to, just looking for whether we had any name of respect we were using for the women
(09:51:30 PM) Delna: Delna will allow Meiglan to step forward though and back her up
(09:51:56 PM) Meiglan: "Yo, ladies!" There, name of respect.
(09:53:20 PM) dkap: There is a slight change in their pattern, and after a few minutes, the woman who talked to you last time, makes her way over to you.
(09:54:56 PM) ***Spot hangs to the back.
(09:55:55 PM) dkap: She bows to Meiglan. In a very bone-weary way.
(09:56:03 PM) dkap: "How might this one assist you?"
(09:56:15 PM) dkap: (All the ginger seems to have gone from her demeanor ...)
(09:59:37 PM) Meiglan: So not the curtsying kind. "Yah'll look you had the radish. Looks like we got back just in time."
(10:00:02 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Radish? In time?"
(10:02:29 PM) Meiglan: "You're looking exhausted. Keeping up that spell must be taking a lot of out of you...which brings us to why we're here..."
(10:02:36 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Yes?"
(10:08:01 PM) Meiglan: "We'd like you to drop it."
(10:08:39 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Are you sure everything is in hand? Shall we withdraw slowly?"
(10:10:23 PM) Delna: "Please withdraw slowly."
(10:10:38 PM) Meiglan: Looks back towards the others...what does she know about spells?
(10:10:47 PM) Delna: "And one at a time if you can. If not that, then slowly will do."
(10:11:18 PM) dkap: Keeper: "We shall, do you need to coordinate with others, while we do?"
(10:11:46 PM) dkap: Keeper: "And, are you sure we will not be breaking our Covenant?"
(10:17:14 PM) Delna: "There are others on hand to help take care of the injured. Those that can be saved will be saved. There is risk, but they can not heal until you break your spell."
(10:18:16 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Then, we shall withdraw from one, and hope that the mending can be done. Please, let us know the results of the first?"
(10:19:34 PM) ***Delna nods
(10:20:06 PM) Delna: "Count, we should watch, and be on hand in case of any complications.."
(10:20:36 PM) Cagliostro: "Indeed. Shall we step back outside?"
(10:21:09 PM) ***Cagliostro hands a radio to someone staying inside the tower - Meighan, probably
(10:21:09 PM) dkap: Spot?
(10:21:19 PM) dkap: Right, Spot needs to do the moving.
(10:21:24 PM) dkap: Meiglan?
(10:21:36 PM) Spot: I'm ready
(10:22:14 PM) Cagliostro: So we move back out to the hospital tent, the patients, and presumably the doctor
(10:22:32 PM) Meiglan: Takes the radio.
(10:22:34 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(10:23:04 PM) dkap: There is a moment, and then the most recent victim starts leaking fluid, and the detached pieces no longer are moving about.
(10:23:19 PM) dkap: And through the lens, the blue fibers are no longer there.
(10:23:38 PM) ***Cagliostro makes with the healy
(10:24:01 PM) dkap: The doctor leaps to it as well.
(10:24:15 PM) dkap: Do you let him even vaugly get close before you fix it?
(10:24:16 PM) ***Spot hmms.
(10:24:28 PM) Cagliostro: not for the first one
(10:24:31 PM) Cagliostro: I'm not sure if it'll work
(10:24:36 PM) Cagliostro: I'll leave somethign for him to fix, though
(10:25:02 PM) dkap: Kind of you.
(10:25:15 PM) dkap: He is fussing about, trying his best.
(10:25:22 PM) ***Cagliostro is magnanimous
(10:25:25 PM) dkap: But, indeed, the undead stays undead.
(10:25:30 PM) Cagliostro: the parts I don't heal will be near the surface
(10:25:32 PM) Cagliostro: hm
(10:25:36 PM) Cagliostro: undead or notdead?
(10:25:39 PM) Cagliostro: there is a difference
(10:26:03 PM) dkap: He was undead to begin with.
(10:26:07 PM) dkap: The Vamp.
(10:26:10 PM) Cagliostro: oh, right
(10:26:13 PM) Cagliostro: good for him. go team vamp.
(10:26:23 PM) ***Cagliostro says over the radio "Okay, success. Next?"
(10:26:30 PM) dkap: But he's continuing to exist as a vamp, not a semi-organized clump of decaying organic matter.
(10:28:18 PM) Meiglan: Says to the ladies. "It's working." Than to Cagliostro. "You want me to head out or still stay here?"
(10:28:38 PM) dkap: Keeper: "We will withdraw from the next. Please let them know."
(10:28:42 PM) dkap: (to Meiglan)
(10:28:59 PM) Meiglan: Relays that information.
(10:29:23 PM) dkap: The next one begins to leak, and stops flopping.
(10:30:50 PM) Cagliostro: "Stay there, and help coordinate, please."
(10:30:52 PM) ***Cagliostro fixes.
(10:30:58 PM) Cagliostro: (again, mostly)
(10:31:28 PM) dkap: Simon is still busy with what you left for him on the first.
(10:31:44 PM) dkap: He is restricted to simple human manipulations, you know ...
(10:34:03 PM) Cagliostro: as long as there's no real danger, I can leave him a little leaky
(10:34:31 PM) dkap: Indeed, you can.
(10:34:55 PM) dkap: Delna, you might want to give each of them a sip, when they are brought around. Of course, they go right to sleep, because it's day out ...
(10:36:15 PM) Delna: I will try to catch them before they go to sleep to give them a sip of blood
(10:36:29 PM) dkap: Probably a good thing, after all they've been through.
(10:37:10 PM) Delna: Yeah. It should help them to heal faster
(10:37:51 PM) dkap: And onto the next?
(10:39:28 PM) Cagliostro: and so forth
(10:40:20 PM) dkap: Unfortunately, when you get to the woofs, it doesn't go so smoothly.
(10:41:13 PM) dkap: They seem to expire, almost at once.
(10:42:30 PM) Cagliostro: gm: can I fix?
(10:42:40 PM) Cagliostro: or do we have to go straight to reconjure?
(10:42:44 PM) dkap: As if their strings were cut, and, while you can reassemble their bodies, their atman doesn't seem there anymore.
(10:42:53 PM) ***Spot sighs.
(10:42:56 PM) Cagliostro: hm.
(10:42:59 PM) Cagliostro: I do have a backup.
(10:43:33 PM) Spot: "I think they might already be dead?"
(10:43:34 PM) dkap: Of?
(10:44:21 PM) Delna: Radio to the keeper to slow up or stop
(10:44:38 PM) Cagliostro: gm: Can I reconjure the first one, using the backup, someplace he can't see the first body?
(10:44:57 PM) dkap: You can, but it seems the body is lifeless, as well.
(10:45:41 PM) ***Cagliostro hm.s
(10:45:51 PM) Cagliostro: (and quietly deconjures the second body).
(10:46:13 PM) Meiglan: Tell the keeper to stop until until we're given the go ahead.
(10:46:14 PM) Cagliostro: gm: examine the second woof and try to figure out why the atman is on such a hair trigger
(10:46:57 PM) dkap: And where it fled to?
(10:47:55 PM) dkap: Meiglan: Several of the keepers have stepped out of the circle and seemingly fell sound asleep within moments.
(10:48:02 PM) dkap: Snores and all.
(10:49:14 PM) Meiglan: "Delna, we may not have a lot of time left on our end. The keepers seem to be reaching the end of their reserve."
(10:50:45 PM) Cagliostro: that too.
(10:50:57 PM) Cagliostro: gm: into the stone, perhaps?
(10:51:06 PM) dkap: Could be.
(10:51:13 PM) Delna: I will pass this information to the count
(10:51:16 PM) dkap: But none of them have ever behaved that way before.
(10:51:26 PM) dkap: Perhaps Spot will have some insight.
(10:51:35 PM) dkap: A wyld hunch or something ... *grin*
(10:51:52 PM) ***Cagliostro acknowledges Delna's message.
(10:52:12 PM) Cagliostro: "Spot, is there anything special about werewolf souls when they die?"
(10:53:50 PM) Cagliostro: "Do they normally disappear or go someplace, or get attracted to something?"
(10:55:02 PM) Cagliostro: gm: examine the body and the stitched body with the lens
(10:56:25 PM) dkap: Which are the two bodies that you are referring to?
(10:57:31 PM) Cagliostro: the dead woof and the live woof
(10:57:42 PM) Cagliostro: presuming that the one-at-a-time-rule was still in play
(10:57:54 PM) Delna: "Meiglan, can other women help them to keep the spells up?"
(10:58:24 PM) Cagliostro: gm: also, are all the vampires fixed?
(10:58:26 PM) Spot: "Well....
(10:58:33 PM) Spot: "Some are reborn. Some aren't."
(10:58:38 PM) Spot: "Some go into the Umbra."
(10:58:43 PM) dkap: They were in order, so, there are two vamps and a woof left.
(10:58:45 PM) Meiglan: Looks around at the others, are they all in an exhausted state?
(10:58:48 PM) Spot: "Some are eaten."
(10:59:03 PM) ***Spot shrugs. "Lots of stuff happens to werewolf souls."
(10:59:15 PM) dkap: Perhaps, a trip to the umbra is in order?
(10:59:41 PM) Delna: (haha, read spot's 'some are eaten' line as a response to Meiglan's question!)
(10:59:53 PM) dkap: *grin*
(11:00:10 PM) Meiglan: (that's one way to get some protein)
(11:01:04 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(11:01:56 PM) Cagliostro: "Hm."
(11:02:05 PM) Cagliostro: "They didn't stick around soul-wise when the strings were cut."
(11:02:15 PM) Delna: "Best to do it soon if we are going to."
(11:03:19 PM) dkap: Indeed. Do people want to call it here? Or are we hot on pursuit?
(11:03:39 PM) Meiglan: (I need to call it here since I'm up at 5:30 in the morning)
(11:04:02 PM) Delna: (moi aussi, except one hour later)
(11:04:14 PM) Delna: (Is needs to sleep)
(11:04:34 PM) Spot: here is fine
(11:05:03 PM) dkap: Then, stay tuned, true believers, Next Week's Episode, the Quest for the Missing Atman.
(11:05:11 PM) dkap: Run by Robin?
(11:05:17 PM) dkap: (atman and robin? Never mind.)
(11:05:36 PM) Meiglan: (that was baaaaadddd!!!!0
(11:05:56 PM) dkap: I am a Pun Sadist, you know ...
(11:06:12 PM) Cagliostro: indeed.
(11:06:23 PM) Cagliostro: until next week!
(11:06:26 PM) Cagliostro left the room.
(11:06:31 PM) Spot: night!
(11:06:34 PM) Spot left the room.
(11:07:18 PM) Meiglan: that would be a Pundist
(11:07:57 PM) Delna: wow
(11:08:01 PM) Delna: night
(11:08:07 PM) Delna left the room (quit: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.86 [Firefox 3.6.3/20100401080539]).
(11:08:18 PM) Meiglan left the room (quit: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.86 [Firefox 3.5.2/20090729225027]).
