Conversation with #dkap_amber on Tue 25 May 2010 08:05:17 PM EDT:
(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

(08:12:51 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/
(08:12:53 PM) Cagliostro: excellent
(08:13:05 PM) Cagliostro: about the birthday and about gm sign ;)
(08:14:46 PM) mode (+o dkap) by ChanServ
(08:15:29 PM) dkap: What about the birthday?
(08:18:12 PM) Cagliostro: next Monday is Delnaday.
(08:19:41 PM) dkap: Ahh! Excellent!
(08:20:38 PM) Delna: :)
(08:30:49 PM) dkap: I should warn you folks, I might drift off ... my flight back from Shibaricon was supposed to land around dinnertime, and, instead, it landed well after midnight, and I helped Stormy move in this morning.
(08:31:52 PM) dkap: And then I had to drag myself into work ...
(08:31:58 PM) Cagliostro: ah, so stormy ended up moving?
(08:32:00 PM) dkap: So ... I might be a bit drifty tonight.
(08:32:03 PM) Cagliostro: we could call it an off week
(08:32:04 PM) dkap: Indeed. He's here.
(08:32:22 PM) Cagliostro: has he been caught up on what Caelin did to his Amberverse? :)
(08:34:56 PM) Delna: Wow, it's that time of year again already. How quickly time passes
(08:35:07 PM) Delna: Hopes for you to have much sleep soon
(08:35:28 PM) dkap: Not yet.
(08:35:51 PM) dkap: Thank you. I do look forward to sleep at some point during the night.
(08:36:05 PM) dkap: But I've yet to even eat dinner.
(08:36:27 PM) dkap: So I'm good for at least a while.
(08:37:52 PM) dkap: And, yes, Delna, it's that time of year again.
(08:38:26 PM) Cagliostro: I'm not sure if I've ever gamed with Stormy since I officially joined the game.
(08:42:09 PM) Spot [~chatzilla@c-71-233-163-142.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(08:43:33 PM) dkap: I believe there was some overlap now and again ... not that I'm owning up to all the characters Stormy has played over the years or anything ...
(08:43:44 PM) Cagliostro: heh.
(08:43:58 PM) Cagliostro: the son of gerard does have some stormyish qualities, I'll admit.
(08:44:46 PM) dkap: *grin*
(08:48:52 PM) Cagliostro: so are we waiting for someone else?
(08:50:56 PM) Spot: Sorry I had lost track of time, and then needed fooding
(08:50:57 PM) dkap: Nope. Spot is now here, I believe we can role.
(08:53:54 PM) Delna: Huzzah for rolling...roleing?..
(08:54:38 PM) Spot: no rolling, amber is diceless
(08:54:58 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:56:34 PM) Cagliostro: we'll roll the roles
(08:57:00 PM) dkap: Dinner rolls?
(08:57:22 PM) Meiglan [~chatzilla@c-24-147-4-60.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(08:58:09 PM) Cagliostro: your game to run, mr. gm man
(08:58:42 PM) dkap: Right ... I believe we were contemplating wither the dead Werewolfs go.
(08:59:17 PM) Cagliostro: indeed.
(08:59:28 PM) Cagliostro: and how to handle the second walking deadwolf.
(08:59:44 PM) Cagliostro: I think I have a plan for the second one
(08:59:47 PM) Cagliostro: but it's not a great plan
(08:59:53 PM) Cagliostro: and doesn't allow for a plan b
(09:00:09 PM) Cagliostro: which would be: create a body for the second one, and hope that the soul goes into the new body and not whither souls go
(09:00:20 PM) Spot: "Sometimes they are reborn. Sometimes they go to the Umbra, or to their ancestral spirit homes in the Umbra. Sometimes their spirits are willing to become weapons of great power for the tribe."
(09:00:37 PM) Spot: "You get a lot of options, being a garou."
(09:01:11 PM) Cagliostro: "So this is a 'death is a part of life' situation?"
(09:01:32 PM) ***Spot nods.
(09:01:46 PM) Cagliostro: "That may come in handy, then."
(09:01:48 PM) Spot: "Granted, I don't have any idea how it'll work....here."
(09:01:52 PM) Cagliostro: "Indeed."
(09:02:06 PM) Spot: "But there's an Umbra, so I imagine it'll sort out properly eventually."
(09:02:18 PM) Cagliostro: gm: barring any better suggestions : I'll have the werewolf step back through the gate into the inner world (Cagliostro's world)
(09:02:35 PM) Cagliostro: then step back through myself and create a new body matching the memories etc. of the werewolf
(09:02:49 PM) Cagliostro: which may or may not be presently animated by an atman. I suspect not, but stranger things have happened.
(09:02:58 PM) dkap: Excellent. Not animated, at the moment.
(09:03:16 PM) Cagliostro: I'll pass the word to the tower crew that the tower crew should withdraw the animation from the next person
(09:03:26 PM) Cagliostro: and if the next person is a vampire instead, I'll jump through the gate to fix them ;)
(09:03:33 PM) Cagliostro: but I'll examine the werewolf in the lens, just in case
(09:04:25 PM) dkap: The next person is the second wolf, which is why we paused there ...
(09:05:31 PM) Cagliostro: k. I wasn't sure if we knew the tower's order of operations.
(09:05:38 PM) Cagliostro: so we shall continue with more confidence
(09:06:21 PM) dkap: Excellent.
(09:06:29 PM) dkap: Gate through to the inner world.
(09:07:21 PM) Cagliostro: gate, then conjure
(09:07:48 PM) Cagliostro: avec Rip Torn, the second Garou
(09:08:18 PM) dkap: Rip Torn?
(09:08:23 PM) dkap: I'm confused.
(09:09:18 PM) Cagliostro: generic indictor
(09:09:20 PM) Cagliostro: *indicator
(09:09:26 PM) Cagliostro: and joke regarding how he got into this mess
(09:09:40 PM) dkap: Right... Got it.
(09:09:46 PM) dkap: His empty body awaits.
(09:10:05 PM) dkap: Memories read in, atman tied to the old, fibered body.
(09:10:35 PM) Cagliostro: so: cagliostro gates to the inner world with the second garou, conjures him a body, and then the support withdrawal continues.
(09:12:06 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:12:54 PM) Cagliostro: yep
(09:13:00 PM) Cagliostro: so... what happens when they cut the ties?
(09:13:43 PM) dkap: They cut the ties.
(09:14:18 PM) dkap: Are you looking at the atman through the lense?
(09:14:27 PM) dkap: lens I mean.
(09:15:17 PM) Cagliostro: the werewolf's old body
(09:15:21 PM) Cagliostro: so the atman indirectly
(09:15:34 PM) Cagliostro: or directly, if possible, which I am unsure of
(09:18:31 PM) Cagliostr1 [~sgorton@c-66-31-32-142.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] entered the room.
(09:18:42 PM) Cagliostr1: hm.
(09:18:54 PM) dkap: As you watch it, it becomes vine-like and earthy, and then disappears.
(09:19:05 PM) Cagliostr1: interesting.
(09:19:09 PM) Cagliostro left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(09:19:14 PM) Cagliostr1 is now known as Cagliostro
(09:19:19 PM) Cagliostro: new body remains inanimate?
(09:19:26 PM) Cagliostro: even if I try to dump memories into it?
(09:19:32 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:19:56 PM) Cagliostro: hm.
(09:20:08 PM) Cagliostro: deconjure the body, return to the tent outside the tower, continue with the vampires.
(09:21:21 PM) dkap: The last two vamps are successfully raised.
(09:21:33 PM) Cagliostro: well, excellent.
(09:21:53 PM) Cagliostro: pronounce the operation a success.
(09:22:03 PM) Spot: (lol)
(09:23:05 PM) ***Cagliostro is management.
(09:23:16 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:26:11 PM) Cagliostro: so I guess that leaves the others to wrap things up with the tower crew?
(09:26:40 PM) Delna: I will report the grim news of the garou deaths back to the tower
(09:27:14 PM) Delna: As well as the news that the efforts worked for the others
(09:27:29 PM) Spot: Make sure to add we aren't considering it terribly grim. They'll probably be reborn.
(09:27:32 PM) dkap: They are very sad. The few that were sleeping woke to relive the rest ... they could have held for another day, maybe two, but that was about it.
(09:27:46 PM) dkap: They don't seem to believe in rebirth.
(09:29:02 PM) Delna: I do pass on the beliefs of the garou and the reasons we believe they passed instead of staying, and in addition mention that at least they are no longer living in the agony they were
(09:29:34 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Indeed, but we were tasked with keeping them alive, we have failed."
(09:30:04 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Not entirely, but, in part."
(09:30:14 PM) Delna: "It is likely that they would have passed no matter what we had done, because they felt the calling of their life cycle."
(09:31:38 PM) Delna: "I understand very much the pain you feel, in a different way perhaps, but pain still. I have been tasked to lead these people and it saddens me that we were not able to save all of those who deserved to keep living."
(09:32:32 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Were you charged similarly by your Goddess?"
(09:33:38 PM) ***Delna pauses for a moment and thinks
(09:38:21 PM) dkap: Am I still connected?
(09:38:28 PM) Spot: yes
(09:38:32 PM) Spot: I don't know about Delna
(09:38:39 PM) Spot: she seems to be thinking very hard
(09:38:51 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:39:08 PM) Delna: "It is possible I suppose. My people have different beliefs where the afterworld and divine powers are concerned. But it is indeed possible that the position fell to me by design."
(09:39:16 PM) Delna: Indeed. I do this.
(09:39:22 PM) Delna: oftens
(09:39:54 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:44:02 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Our Goddess will be disappointed will your's?"
(09:44:29 PM) Spot: ours won't.
(09:44:33 PM) ***Spot shrugs.
(09:44:45 PM) dkap: Keeper: "And she will let us know, personally."
(09:44:50 PM) Spot: 'If she didn't want them she wouldn't have taken them."
(09:46:17 PM) dkap: Keeper: "She does not take them. She is life, not death."
(09:46:59 PM) Spot: "My goddess, the Garou's goddess, not yours."
(09:48:38 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Ahh ... but my Goddess will still hold us responsible."
(09:49:16 PM) ***Spot shrugs. "Can't help you there. But ours won't lay blame, at least."
(09:50:01 PM) Delna left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(09:52:09 PM) dkap: Hrm ... we seem to have lost her ...
(09:53:29 PM) Spot: nod
(09:53:54 PM) Meiglan: leave her alone and she'll come home wagging her tail behind her.
(09:54:37 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:54:57 PM) Cagliostro: It would be kind of distressing any other way.
(09:55:12 PM) Cagliostro: wagging someone else's tail, in an odd location, etc.
(09:55:12 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(09:55:47 PM) dkap: I'm savoring the image.
(09:56:36 PM) Delna [~chatzilla@c-71-228-89-86.hsd1.fl.comcast.net] entered the room.
(09:56:59 PM) dkap: Welcome back.
(09:57:07 PM) Meiglan: we were talking about you.
(09:57:22 PM) dkap: *grin*
(09:58:33 PM) Delna: heheh.
(09:59:12 PM) Delna: boop, and my computer turns off. Battery has not mastered being able to last forever yet
(09:59:28 PM) dkap: *grin*
(09:59:42 PM) dkap: We'll have to work on that.
(10:01:01 PM) Delna: What did i miss, besides you all making faces at me while my back was turned :P
(10:01:58 PM) Cagliostro: (9:44:02 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Our Goddess will be disappointed will your's?"
(10:01:58 PM) Cagliostro: (9:44:29 PM) Spot: ours won't.
(10:01:58 PM) Cagliostro: (9:44:33 PM) ***Spot shrugs.
(10:01:58 PM) Cagliostro: (9:44:45 PM) dkap: Keeper: "And she will let us know, personally."
(10:01:58 PM) Cagliostro: (9:44:50 PM) Spot: 'If she didn't want them she wouldn't have taken them."
(10:02:00 PM) Cagliostro: (9:46:17 PM) dkap: Keeper: "She does not take them. She is life, not death."
(10:02:02 PM) Cagliostro: (9:46:59 PM) Spot: "My goddess, the Garou's goddess, not yours."
(10:02:04 PM) Cagliostro: (9:48:38 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Ahh ... but my Goddess will still hold us responsible."
(10:02:06 PM) Cagliostro: (9:49:16 PM) ***Spot shrugs. "Can't help you there. But ours won't lay blame, at least."
(10:04:07 PM) Delna: "Is there no death amongst your people then?"
(10:04:43 PM) Delna: "Or were these people chosen specifically?"
(10:05:02 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Not our people ... but the people placed under her specific care, by her love.
(10:07:54 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Of whom, you are amongst their number."
(10:11:20 PM) Delna: "And of which we are eternally grateful. Have you had any others placed under your care which have been in such a fatal state?"
(10:12:05 PM) dkap: Keeper: "These are the first to have had problems with their continued existence."
(10:13:24 PM) dkap: Keeper: "We are tasked to keep them that way."
(10:13:37 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Continuing to exist."
(10:17:26 PM) Delna: "If they are to continue to exist, then they must have a purpose as seen by your Goddess. But if the Garou's Goddess saw fit to allow them to pass into their afterworld, then perhaps their purpose was fulfilled."
(10:19:57 PM) dkap: Keeper: "Even if your Goddess allows them to pass, they should pass into the care of my Goddess, who wants them to continue their existence."
(10:22:14 PM) ***Spot looks confused.
(10:23:13 PM) Delna: "Do you have a way of communing with your Goddess? Of finding out where their souls have passed and for what purpose she was saving them?"
(10:23:14 PM) dkap: Keeper: "If your Goddess is done with them, it is possible that our Goddess is not."
(10:24:41 PM) dkap: Keeper: "We were tasked to keep them from passing. If she could reach them on the other side ... why would we be so tasked?"
(10:27:10 PM) Delna: "If your Goddess still has a task for them though, then their souls should be somewhere in between worlds, or with your Goddess as you said. If this is true, then there should be a way to bring them back."
(10:27:54 PM) dkap: Keeper: "It's possible. Do you know a path toward that?"
(10:28:29 PM) dkap: Keeper: "If so, we should employ it, at once, so that there is little time that they are not ... existing."
(10:30:15 PM) Delna: "I do not personally. Spot, do you have any shamans (would be able to use appropriate class name..) in your pack?"
(10:30:46 PM) Cagliostro: [theurge]
(10:30:56 PM) Delna: (haha! Thanks!!)
(10:31:35 PM) Spot: "Um I'm not so sure they'd want...I'm the Theurge, do you think I know all this by accident?" Spot rolls his eyes. "And I'm not so sure, pretty, Garou are meant to go to these nice peoples' Goddess."
(10:35:59 PM) ***Delna tries to give a look of understanding says behind it, "go with me, to appease them"
(10:37:32 PM) Delna: "Do you have a way of finding out whether their souls have passed on? We should be sure that there is not anything that we have missed. It is not wise to look on the charge of another Goddess with apathy. We should be sure that they were meant to pass on at this time."
(10:38:44 PM) Delna: (also, insert a please in that look :P)
(10:40:16 PM) Delna: (be back in a moment. I must put a load of laundry in and move my car)
(10:40:38 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(10:48:03 PM) Delna: (ok)
(10:48:08 PM) Delna: (done)
(10:52:05 PM) dkap: Right then ... where were we?
(10:54:17 PM) Delna: Well, I was waiting for a response from Spot I believe
(10:54:22 PM) Cagliostro: trying to appease the locals, looks like ;)
(10:54:34 PM) Delna: Something like that
(10:54:51 PM) Spot: (sorry hubby got home)
(10:55:21 PM) ***Spot sighs a little and summons a bat spirit.
(10:57:02 PM) Spot: Or at least will try
(11:03:51 PM) dkap: There is a hint of connection, but it is distant.
(11:04:31 PM) Spot: Well I'll try and ask over the connection for the bat spirit to check on the pack who died.
(11:05:25 PM) dkap: The bat spirit is ... uncertain of which you ask.
(11:08:00 PM) Spot: Hmmmm
(11:08:31 PM) Spot: "We're a little far here from the spirits...hard to get one to check on the pack."
(11:08:31 PM) dkap: Bat Spirit: "When things die, they are dead, yes?"
(11:09:06 PM) Spot: Over the connection: "And sometimes go to the spirit world, or are reborn..."
(11:10:06 PM) dkap: The bat spirit seems even more confused.
(11:10:18 PM) dkap: Bat Spirit: "Dead is dead, right?"
(11:10:47 PM) Spot: "Not always. Just sometimes."
(11:11:09 PM) dkap: Bat Spirit: "News to me."
(11:12:09 PM) ***Spot looks back at everyone. "The Bat Spirit is ... confused."
(11:17:13 PM) dkap: Hrm ... the clock has turned, and while I've not fallen asleep at the keyboard ... I'm yawning my head off.
(11:17:22 PM) Spot: okay
(11:17:25 PM) Spot: sleep is good
(11:17:27 PM) Delna: Yar, Brain juice is running low..
(11:17:39 PM) Cagliostro: that sounds like a plan.
(11:17:42 PM) Cagliostro: until next week!
(11:17:45 PM) Cagliostro: mayhap in person, even.
(11:17:52 PM) dkap: Excellent!
(11:18:09 PM) Spot left the room (quit: Read error: EOF from client).
(11:18:09 PM) dkap: I'll let people know if there is going to be an in-person section of the run.
(11:18:22 PM) Cagliostro: k
(11:18:31 PM) Delna: mmm, will wishes to be there : (
(11:18:43 PM) dkap: Indeed. Perhaps, someday again.
(11:18:47 PM) Cagliostro left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving.).
(11:19:18 PM) Delna: Was hoping for July 4th, but alas, I think it is not to be
(11:19:35 PM) Delna: good night!
(11:19:44 PM) Delna left the room (quit: Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.86 [Firefox 3.6.3/20100401080539]).
