(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!

(08:38:12 PM) Spot: I was explaining werewolf souls don't always hang around and they were panicking.
(08:38:25 PM) Spot: politely panicking
(08:38:38 PM) dkap: Indeed.
(08:38:57 PM) dkap: And there was the ... bat spirit?
(08:39:13 PM) Spot: yeah who couldn't find them
(08:39:15 PM) Cagliostro: it seems so
(08:40:13 PM) dkap: Or didn't know anything about dead souls to begin with.
(08:41:15 PM) Spot: yeah
(08:44:19 PM) Spot: But I am not wanting to subject them to another people's goddess
(08:45:41 PM) dkap: Count? Any opinions on how their Goddess might react?
(08:46:30 PM) Cagliostro: "I feel certain it will worth out, with Faythe's grace."
(08:46:57 PM) Cagliostro: "There are moons here, and there is a spiritual realm, and an overworld..."
(08:48:36 PM) Spot: "Which is good for us, but they don't seem to agree."
(08:49:23 PM) Cagliostro: gm: are they willing to leave things in Faythe's hands?

(08:53:25 PM) ***Cagliostro hms.
(08:53:37 PM) Cagliostro: "I suppose we should at least figure out what happened."
(08:54:14 PM) Cagliostro: gm: Does Cagliostro have a method of getting in touch with Faythe himself? I'm thinking not, at least not explicitly.
(08:54:26 PM) Cagliostro: gm: and I can't recall the state of teh Faythe - is this one of her known liedown moments?

(08:56:00 PM) ***Spot looks at the count for a long moment.
(08:56:05 PM) Cagliostro: gm: take out in case of emergency token, blow on it a second, and whisper into it "This isn't an emergency, but if you happen to be available, we have an existential problem."
(08:56:20 PM) Spot: "Yes but the how of this is lacking."
(08:57:46 PM) Cagliostro: "Their goddess is a very nice person, and hopefully she can help sort this out."
(08:58:05 PM) Cagliostro: (gm: you know, Jean will probably let Faythe know that Cagliostro is looking for her.)
(08:58:12 PM) dkap: There is a whisper in the Count's ear "A moment, and I'll be with you."
(08:58:39 PM) ***Cagliostro bows politely.
(08:58:52 PM) Cagliostro: "I believe enlightenment is on its way."
(08:58:58 PM) dkap: The blue stone glows bright flickers, as if a shadow crossed between it and it's light-source from within, and then the image of Faythe is floating in mid air, above the stone.
(08:59:43 PM) dkap: Faith looks about, the tower keepers thrown themselves on their faces, calling for mercy, and bewailing their failures.
(09:00:37 PM) ***Spot hmms, looking her over.
(09:01:02 PM) dkap: There is a moment of ... almost dislocation, and then Faith says to the keepers "Go ye to your beds, and rest, while your judgment is determined."
(09:01:09 PM) ***Cagliostro bows politely, awaiting attention.
(09:01:13 PM) dkap: They rise and rush out, unbarring the door on their way.
(09:01:47 PM) dkap: Then Faith sits down on some not-seen chair, wherever she is projecting from, sighs and says "Good count, could you explain what is going on please?"
(09:02:05 PM) dkap: Faythe: "And please, introduce me to your companions."
(09:03:37 PM) Cagliostro: "We have had a problem which your tower keepers helped us with, which has unfortunately led to some theological issues."
(09:04:49 PM) ***Spot chuckles slightly.
(09:04:51 PM) dkap: Faythe: "These are the ones who I assigned to keep my promise to Norton, that those who walked his path would be safe.
(09:05:05 PM) Cagliostro: "There was a creature roaming around inside my shields, seemingly pent near the castle where the vampires had been housed, and preying on vampires and werewolves. When no one was watching someone, the creature would appear, rend them limb from limb, and flee."
(09:05:49 PM) dkap: Faythe: "That sounds nasty! How can I help to dispatch it?"
(09:06:03 PM) Cagliostro: "Your servants acted to keep those rent asunder " (indicates) " alive until they could be repaired" (indicates Simon) " and the creature bound with the assistance of Spot" (indicates).
(09:06:15 PM) ***Spot bows.
(09:06:49 PM) Cagliostro: "Spot has with him the creature, bound into a sword. I do not know whether it is local to my world, to yours, or was brought or created somewhere else. It did seem to be immaterial or spiritual."
(09:07:06 PM) Spot: "It's very angry," Spot adds.
(09:07:26 PM) Cagliostro: "Delna and Meiglan" (also indicating) " walk Norton's path, and are the more responsible members of that group."
(09:08:53 PM) dkap: Faythe: "It is a pleasure to meet you all, especially those my love holds dear."
(09:08:54 PM) Cagliostro: "When we repaired those who had been rent asunder, the vampires were restored but the life essence of the werewolves went... elsewhere. Your tower keepers feel that they have failed. I suspected they interpreted your instructions to cover all of the refugees, not just the vampires. Of course, I do know little enough of your consort to say that only the vampires walk his path..."
(09:09:53 PM) Meiglan: Waves and grins.
(09:12:41 PM) dkap: Faythe: "I believe they are all precious to him. He has wolves under his hand, as well.
(09:13:44 PM) ***Spot raises a hand.
(09:14:06 PM) dkap: Faythe: "Yes, sir?"
(09:14:19 PM) Spot: "Who's Norton?"
(09:16:34 PM) dkap: Faythe: "A fellow Deity, and the one who holds my love, as dearly as I hold his."
(09:16:56 PM) dkap: (Wow, I'm out of practice being in Faythe's head ...)
(09:17:00 PM) ***Spot raises his hand again.
(09:17:30 PM) Cagliostro: (So was she, for a while...)
(09:18:08 PM) dkap: (Indeed.)
(09:18:47 PM) dkap: Faythe: "Please, Spot, let us simply converse, it is much easier to share information that way."
(09:19:25 PM) Spot: "All right. What Realm is he Deity of then?"
(09:19:31 PM) caelin left the room (quit: Ping timeout).
(09:20:21 PM) dkap: Faythe: "As I harken to life, he to the undead."
(09:20:29 PM) caelin [~arkhonii@adsl-75-36-186-197.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net] entered the room.
(09:21:19 PM) dkap: Faythe: "As he, himself, sometimes is."
(09:23:40 PM) Spot: "Well garou ain't undead. ....Life? That make you Gaia for here?"
(09:25:08 PM) dkap: Faythe: "I'm not sure ... who or what is Gaia?"
(09:25:21 PM) ***Spot blinks.
(09:26:00 PM) Spot: "The Great Mother Goddess? You know, cycle of life, everything green and growing?"
(09:27:00 PM) Spot: "I mean, I ain't personally all that into her, you know, but she's the mother of all the garou, whether I like her or not."
(09:28:13 PM) Cagliostro: "As I said, some theological issues. The werewolves served a goddess in their old land, and reincarnated in her services. They do not know what happens here to those to fall."
(09:28:29 PM) ***Spot shrugs.
(09:28:31 PM) dkap: Faythe: "All life does flow from me, yes, so I might be similar to your Gaia."
(09:29:41 PM) dkap: Faythe: "But those of life, except those specially chosen, do not serve me. And all who are chosen, have the opportunity to decline. Not just once, but at many different points."
(09:29:52 PM) Spot: "Well, we serve Luna too. Well some of us. Some of us are more...abstract? Is the wrong word. But anyways. I mean, there's lots of Incarna. Kist wanted to know who was who."
(09:29:57 PM) ***Cagliostro hms.
(09:30:21 PM) Cagliostro: "Is it possible for you to determine what happened to the spirits of the two werewolves who died recently in front of your tower?"
(09:30:43 PM) dkap: Faythe: "I can but try."
(09:31:04 PM) dkap: She shimmers, and then is actually in the room with you, filling out her image.
(09:31:04 PM) Cagliostro: "That is of course appreciated. I have tried without success."
(09:32:56 PM) ***Cagliostro regreets her politely.
(09:33:10 PM) dkap: Faythe: "Show me the spot from which they passed, and I shall see what I might."
(09:33:41 PM) ***Cagliostro returns to the area outside the gate, introducing Faythe to people as appropriate (but minimally), and indicates the positions.
(09:33:49 PM) Cagliostro: In fact, there might even still be corpses there.
(09:34:23 PM) dkap: Walking down the stairs? Or through he mirror/umbra connection?
(09:35:39 PM) Cagliostro: stairs, if the door is open.
(09:36:54 PM) dkap: It is, that's how the keepers departed.
(09:38:17 PM) dkap: And it's an uncomplicated path.
(09:38:28 PM) dkap: You arrive at the tent, with the corpses, still warm, within.
(09:38:49 PM) dkap: Faythe lays her hands on one ... and ... looks.
(09:39:38 PM) Cagliostro: (Jean *ahems* at Faythe as she lays her hand on one)
(09:40:26 PM) dkap: She says, in Thari for those who understand it: "They have gone to feed the Kraken."
(09:41:36 PM) dkap: She says in the tongue shared by those gathered: "They have departed, beyond my reach. They will not be back, in any shape that would be recognizable, although we might be reunited with them, within the last Dragon."
(09:42:58 PM) Spot: "Well we don't always get reborn."
(09:43:22 PM) Cagliostro: "Indeed. Thank you."
(09:43:27 PM) Spot: "Although I don't know what this last dragon is."
(09:44:43 PM) dkap: Faythe: "It is what we speculate will happen at the end of it all."
(09:45:34 PM) Cagliostro: ("There can be only Orm!")
(09:46:04 PM) dkap: (With an Embar of life, still glowing.)
(09:48:01 PM) Spot: "A dragon? At the end? You guys have a weird Apocalypse. Wow."
(09:49:18 PM) dkap: Faythe: "Eventually, yes, the Wyrms are the more active ones."
(09:51:56 PM) ***Spot grins. "Or maybe I like yours better."
(09:52:17 PM) caelin: Gonna run. Show is starting. :-)
(09:52:22 PM) caelin left the room (quit: Quit: 1.8.9).
(09:54:41 PM) dkap: Faythe: "It's not so much of an apocalypse, like the one you were rescued from, more of a ... gentle grazing, on the last of the food."
(09:56:43 PM) Meiglan: "That sounds really...polite."
(09:58:28 PM) ***Spot shrugs. "So the Wyrm eats everyone?"
(09:58:38 PM) dkap: Faythe: "Sad in a way. but that's how we expect things to end. But between then and now are many, many challenges."
(09:59:25 PM) dkap: Faythe: "No, the wyrm doesn't eat us. At least, not normally."
(09:59:53 PM) dkap: Faythe: "It's complicated, and I'm not sure _I_ understand it fully."
(10:07:10 PM) dkap: Faythe sighs.
(10:08:28 PM) dkap: Faythe: "I shall create the illusion of those departed, as if they were not, so those charged can feel as if they were successful, and would continue their watch, faithfully."
(10:09:17 PM) Spot: "Oookay. ....does that mean my pack is gonna have fake werewolves, then?"
(10:10:32 PM) dkap: Faythe: "Only for long enough for them to accompany me on a quest to see if they will serve their Goddess or Me."
(10:11:08 PM) dkap: Faythe: "So they will rapidly pass beyond the reach of those in the tower, and beyond their concern."
(10:12:06 PM) Spot: "Ahhhhhh. Very good."
(10:12:14 PM) Spot: "Thank you."
(10:13:30 PM) dkap: Faythe: "That way, everyone can feel ok with their efforts."
(10:16:34 PM) ***Spot nods again
(10:19:16 PM) dkap: Faythe: "I shall need their names, so I might address them properly."
(10:20:11 PM) Spot: gm: I'm sure I know their names, but you never gave me the pack names.
(10:21:15 PM) dkap: Handwave as if they were given.
(10:21:56 PM) ***Spot provides the names for Faythe.
(10:27:11 PM) dkap: Faythe: "Shall we return and finish the masquerade?"
(10:31:39 PM) Cagliostro: "As you wish."
(10:32:13 PM) dkap: Faythe: "Anything else, before we return?"
(10:32:24 PM) Cagliostro: "Not that I can think of."
(10:32:32 PM) ***Cagliostro turns to the others "?"
(10:34:08 PM) dkap: Delna and Simon shrug.
(10:34:49 PM) Meiglan: Shakes her head.
(10:37:07 PM) Cagliostro: so we'll go along with the scheme and wrap things up
(10:37:36 PM) dkap: Excellent, back to the tower you go, back into the room, in the positions you were in, with the illusions of the woofs who passed amongst you.
(10:46:24 PM) Cagliostro: we'll let her run things for the locals
(10:48:18 PM) dkap: She puts on quite the show, thanking them for their efforts, understanding that she did what she needed, when they ran out, and how they have to be more vigilant, and recruit more members, so incidence like this would not happen again.
(10:48:54 PM) dkap: She praises them for their acceptance of the males in the tower, and tells them that their sacred duty is still continuing.
(10:49:19 PM) dkap: Then departs, on the announced quest, with the two woofs in tow.
(10:51:13 PM) Cagliostro: excellent
(10:51:26 PM) Cagliostro: shall we head back to the inner world and wrap?
(10:51:41 PM) Spot: I think so
(10:52:11 PM) dkap: Simon, at the last minute, and in front of her followers, asks: "Please, Goddess, I've dedicated myself to the study of life, it's healing and prolonging ... might I, at some point, have instruction from your hands?"
(10:52:28 PM) ***Spot blinks at Simon.
(10:53:09 PM) dkap: Faythe lays her hands, as if in benediction on his shoulders and says: "As you wish. I will come to you, in one form or another, before long, and offer you learning."
(10:55:52 PM) dkap: She fades away, as do the woofs.
(10:56:09 PM) dkap: Are you going to depart by mirror or stairs?
(10:57:14 PM) Cagliostro: stairs
(10:57:16 PM) Cagliostro: then gate
(10:58:02 PM) dkap: Back to the Serenity Shack, and a hang for the night?
(10:58:30 PM) Spot: kk
(10:58:38 PM) Cagliostro: yepper
(10:59:04 PM) dkap: It's a game!
(10:59:19 PM) dkap: See you all next week. Same woof time, same vamp channel.
(10:59:22 PM) Meiglan: is it afoot?
(10:59:25 PM) Spot: yay
(10:59:34 PM) dkap: Nah, we gave it a foot, now, it's a yard.
(11:01:17 PM) Meiglan: bwahahaha!
(11:01:23 PM) Spot left the room.
(11:02:41 PM) Cagliostro left the room (quit: Quit: Leaving.).
