[20:02] <01@DeathStar> -0-
[20:02] <01@DeathStar> Reality Day 36. Afternoon.
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* The team has rested for exactly two hours. Cheryl sits by the water on the surface, her hair no longer tied up with a ribbon, and in a tactical suit instead of matching the time period.
[20:03] <01Kane> 6* Kane steps out of the cave, he pauses and squints, raising up a hand to let his eyes adjust to the daylight.
[20:03] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana is lounging in a beach chair, by the edge of the water.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* X sits on a rock, arms crossed, having emerged a few minutes earlier.
06[20:04] * 01@Jennifer sits nearby her by the water, having taken a little bit to wash, she looks refreshed, also in her tact suit at the moment. Cameron snores near the entrance of the cave, resting against the stone.
[20:04] <01Dias`> 6Dahok steps out behind Kane, his arms stretching out wide.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott eats some chocolate as he emerges from the cave
[20:04] <01Kane> 6* Cole floats in the water, whistling.
[20:05] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel dangles a ring in front of X.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes it, then just ignores Raquel
[20:05] <01Kane> 6* Kane rubs his shoulder slowly then moves over to Cheryl. 1Feeling better?
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs her tongue along her teeth a moment, then eyes Kane. She seems to have some color back in her cheeks. "Yeah."
[20:05] <01Kit> 6Chii yawns and stretches, then sits up on the other side of Cheryl, peering at Kane.
[20:06] <01Kane> 6* Kane nods once. 1Good.
[20:06] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I'm surprised Janus hasn't sent more after us.
[20:06] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...you don't like it?"
[20:06] <01Kit> <Chii> Let him.
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> <X> I don't need it. 6* She notes, then hops off the rock.
[20:06] <01Kit> 6Chii peers over toward Cole, then stands up and points, snapping as her tail even bristles. 1"I won't lose!"
[20:07] <01Kane> <Cole> Eh. 6He throws up a hand, floating still.
06[20:07] * 01@Jennifer hops up and rotates her shoulder a bit carefully, pulling her hair back into a tail. "So where do we head now?"
[20:07] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...Right. 6He makes a face and rests his hands behind his neck.
[20:07] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...I know. But you should take it. At worst, you can give it to someone who does need it."
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* X just moves over to the lake in response.
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're after some sword now?
01[20:08] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron opens an eye, watching the exchange between Raquel and X.
[20:08] <01Kane> 6* Cole pulls himself out of the water. 1Big sword.
[20:08] <01Kit> 6Key snatches the ring out of Raquel's hands, running off quickly, giggling.
01[20:08] <01@Jennifer> "Oh right, the one that supposedly cancels out crystals."
[20:08] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I heard it was a small sword.
[20:08] <01Kit> <Chii> It's a sword. Who cares.
[20:08] <01Ariel> Raquel> "H-hey!"
01[20:09] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron chuckles. "She might need it lass." *He pulls himself up*
[20:09] <01Kane> <Cole> Big enough to kill things, right?
[20:09] <01Kit> 6Key whirls and makes a face at Raquel, then laughs and dances around X.
[20:09] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Not sure. Never seen it.
[20:09] <01Kane> <Kane> It'll be a long walk.
[20:09] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel doesn't chase after Key, but waves her arm trying to get her attention, "Don't loose that! It's important!"
[20:10] <01Kit> 6Key just stares at Raquel, tilting her head.
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Define long.
[20:10] <01Kit> <Chii> Long as in we'd rather stay here and play while they go get it..
[20:10] <01Ariel> Raquel> "It's magic."
[20:10] <01Kane> 6* Kane shows her the map, showing how long it took them to get where they are, and then to where they need to go.
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That could take us all night....
[20:11] <01Kit> 6Key pauses, then runs over to Raquel and holds out a hand to her.
01[20:11] <01@Jennifer> "We got a faster way to get there?"
[20:11] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Well we could just head straight for Janus himself.
[20:11] <01Kane> <Kane> What do you suggest we do?
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Didn't say I had a suggestion. Making a note.
[20:11] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes Key uncertainly
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet, pulling out the ribbon to do up her hair in a ponytail
[20:11] <01Kit> 6Key waves her hand insistently.
[20:12] <01Kane> 6* Kane nods, pocketing the datapad.
[20:12] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel holds her hands up in confusion, "...I don't get it."
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms, peering at the lake in thought, squinting her eyes at the light reflection
[20:13] <01Kit> 6Key narrows her eyes, reaching up and snatching Raquel's, shoving her other into it and depositing... a beer. She runs off again.
[20:13] <01Kane> 6* Cole shakes the water off of himself, giving a big stretch.
01[20:14] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron shakes his head and moves over to join the others.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Normally I'd say we should forgo the sword, but if it can cancel out this reality's crystal, then it might be useful against our enemies.
[20:14] <01Ariel> Raquel> *looks at the drink a moment, then Key* "...no vodka?"
[20:14] <01Dias`> <Dahok> It'd help keep those demons from biting anyone else hopefully.
[20:14] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...icky sword doesn't like rocks." *sips her drink*
[20:15] <01Kane> 6* Kane hmms and then begins to move forward.
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flexes her fingers. "If I can use my gear form..."
[20:15] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I just wonder why Janus hasn't been able to get it yet.
01[20:16] <01@Jennifer> "Mmm, I think we should go after this sword too."
[20:16] <01Kane> 6* Kane pauses and glances over his shoulder. 1Do you think you can do it?
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Never know until I try. 6* She notes, eyeing Chii
[20:16] <01Kane> <Kane> It would help our efforts for sure. But I think it would attract unwanted attention.
[20:16] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana gets up, sipping her drink.
[20:16] <01Kane> 6* Cole pauses. 1I can fly.
[20:17] <01Dias`> 6Dahok looks over at Cole. 1"You can fly?"
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're right, that's probably the case. But if we walk, more chances for us to be attacked by demons and worms.
[20:17] <01Kane> <Cole> When I'm around X here I'm on cloud 9. 6He swoons.
[20:17] <01Dias`> 6Dahok just stares at him
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Cole slowly, then opens a ripple to drop him from the sky
[20:17] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes Cole.
[20:17] <01Kane> 6* Cole plummets like a rock.
[20:17] <01Kit> 6Key points and laughs.
[20:17] <01Kit> 6Lilith sighs. 1"Mistress..."
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <X> Now he's flying.
06[20:17] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks around then looks up. "Oh jeez..."
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Lilith
[20:18] <01Kane> 6* Kane nods. 1Lesser of two evils.
[20:18] <01Kit> <Chii> I bet we can.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once, then holds out her hands to Chii
[20:18] <01Kane> 6* Cole lands in a nice crater.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves to check on Cole
[20:18] <01Kit> 6Chii takes Cheryl's hands, paying the new crater no mind.
06[20:18] * 01@Jennifer sighs and goes over to check on him.
[20:18] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...oww."
01[20:19] <01@Jennifer> "Cole? You a pancake?"
[20:19] <01Dias`> 6Dahok lets out a low whistle. 1"Right, don't make any moves on her."
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes. Her power level is unusually low thanks to the infection, but she begins to work on forming the link
[20:19] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Lightning types are weak to ground." *nods*
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott kneels to check on Cole. "I hope that armor is strong."
[20:19] <01Kane> <Cole> ...s...super...
06[20:20] * 01@Jennifer sighs and slides down the crater to him. "...I don't really know how to treat a reploid... you okay? Can you get up?"
[20:20] <01Kane> 6* Kane quietly lets CHeryl do her thing.
[20:20] <01Kane> 6* Cole jerks up and points to X. 1That was fucking uncalled for!
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clicks her otngue, then holds out a hand to Kane. "Give me some crystals."
[20:21] <01Kane> 6* Kane holds out his hands and gives her two crystals.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Cole. "I didn't want you to be a liar. So I made you fly."
[20:21] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Hah, she got you on that one.
[20:21] <01Kit> <Lilith> This is a fact.
[20:21] <01Kane> <Cole> No you wanted to be an asshole. Congrats, you were.
06[20:22] * 01@Jennifer facepalms.
[20:22] <01Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes and tenses.
[20:22] <01Ariel> * Raquel holds her tongue.
01[20:22] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks at the bunch and takes a few steps back away from them.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Cole, then shows her teeth. "You want to repeat that?"
[20:23] <01Kit> <Lilith> Do not insult my mistress when you are too weak to withold your own words.
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes back to focusing, apparantly not hearing the commotion due to her focus. Scott eyes the fighting, then rolls his eyes
[20:23] <01Kane> <Cole> Too weak. Haha. Yeah, come to her aid. Tell her that being a prick to someone is okay as long as she has a slick comeback. No wonder she's a spoiled brat.
01[20:24] <01@Jennifer> "Cole... let it go."
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* X aims her hands at Cole and fires a holy arrow at him
[20:24] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel ripples the arrow away, staring at X.
[20:24] <01Kit> <Lilith> And you are tasteless and loose with your lips. Even if one is wrong." 6She holds out one hand, 'catching' the arrow in a gauntlet of light.
[20:24] <01Kit> <Lilith> You can obtain the grace to remain aloft.
[20:24] <01Kane> 6* Cole crosses his arms, eyeing X.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Raquel and then Lilith
[20:24] <01Kane> 6* Kane eyes them. 1Enough.
01[20:24] <01@Jennifer> "Wha..." *he stares at X in shock*
[20:24] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel shakes her head slowly.
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* X just turns and moves off from the group.
[20:25] <01Kit> <Lilith> I learned this much from Raquel.
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> .... 6* He just watches, observing them all with a look of annoyance
06[20:26] * 01@Jennifer looks up at Cole, looking sympathetic. "You won't change anything... especially not right now."
[20:26] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel glances at Lilith, then moves after X
[20:26] <01Kit> 6Lilith eyes Cole, then crushes the energy arrow in her hand and follows X and Raquel.
[20:26] <01Kane> 6* Kane pulls his glasses off and rubs the bridge of his nose slowly. 1Cole I want you to apologize to her. <Cole> What are you ki-<Kane> I wasn't asking. 6* Cole just hmphs and crosses his arms.
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* X shifts her hand to her device, hitting buttons
01[20:27] <01@Jennifer> "It's easier for you to apologize then to get her to change, at least for now." *she says quietly*
[20:27] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel attempts to grab X in a hug, so she can't fiddle with the device, "...X. Please calm down before you do something rash."
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <X> I'm going to look for Dias on my own. It will be quicker and more efficent. Come on, Lilith, we're going.
[20:28] <01Kit> <Lilith> Very well.
[20:28] <01Kane> <Cole> That really hurt. Just because I'm a machine doesn't mean I can't feel pain. And I was only joking around. NOne of you did anything to stop me from falling. So fuck anyone who says I was in the wrong. You're the reason she is the way she is. 6He moves off to stand by himself.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl focuses and transforms into a standard gear form lacking many weapons. She pants.
[20:29] <01Kit> <Chii> Easy going, Cherry.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Raquel once. "And I will only ask you once to let go so I can begin my search."
01[20:29] <01@Jennifer> "Cole..." *she frowns softly and watches him move off, she lowers her head*
[20:29] <01Dias`> 6Dahok scratches the side of his head now.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> He's right. You know.
[20:30] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...I... don't think it'll help you find him easier. And... I don't want you to go."
[20:30] <01Kit> 6Key tackles X from the left, hanging onto one leg even though she's... virtually the same size.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <X> Then you can come, too. But I'm going.
[20:30] <01Kane> 6* Kane glances up the Cheryl. 1Not bad. My estimates were that it would take you much longer to be able to get this far.
01[20:30] <01@Jennifer> "...He is, really, she's a brat and put him in danger, but... it's more about keeping the team from biting each other's heads off."
[20:30] <01Kit> <Chii> Who the hell do you think we are!?
[20:30] <01Kane> <Kane> Chii and Cheryl.
[20:30] <01Kit> <Chii> ...
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to peer at Kane. "Ha." 6* She kneels for people to climb on
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott watches Cheryl now, curious
[20:31] <01Kane> 6* Kane moves to get on.
[20:31] <01Kit> 6Chii has her casually flick dirt at Kane in annoyance.
[20:31] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...we seem to have more pull on events while all of us are together..." *doesn't mention the safer part*
[20:31] <01Kane> <Kane> ...
[20:31] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes the gear with wide eyes
06[20:31] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks over at Cheryl, she then looks back to Cole. "Hey... come on. I'm sorry for not doing anything to stop you from falling."
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* X shifts Raquel off, then reaches out to tap in a location into Lilith and the same for her, manually picking realities instead of randomly transferring
[20:32] <01Kane> 6* Cole is off on his own. Though he does move towards Cheryl as he noticed her transform.
01[20:32] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron walks over and tilts his head, climbing aboard.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sorry, Kane. Chii, behave.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves over, tests a leg, then climbs up
[20:32] <01Kit> <Lilith> I believe she is concerned for our safety, mistress. Raquel does have a point-- especially with our little one." 6She eyes Key clinging onto X.
06[20:32] * 01@Jennifer moves over to to Cheryl and climbs up.
[20:32] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...w-wait."
[20:32] <01Dias`> <Dahok> That's some odd magic. 6He whistles as he moves over, poking a leg then starts to climb on
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> <X> IT will be safer for us than them since I only care about findnig Dias. IF he isn't in a reality, I move on.
[20:33] <01Kane> <Kane> You would think I would be used to it. 6He continues to climb up.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* X peers at Key, then lifts her up so she can come, too
[20:33] <01Kane> 6* Cole climbs up Cheryl.
[20:33] <01Ariel> Raquel> *looks at the ring* "...we should leave these with them."
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers about, noticing the group number down
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Where's the others?
[20:33] <01Dias`> <Dahok> The purple haired girl stormed off.
[20:34] <01Kane> <Kane> X and Cole got into a fight, the others are consoling her.
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <X> Ripple it to them. 6* She hands Key a sweet to keep her distracted
01[20:34] <01@Jennifer> "Oh right, I'll go get them." *she starts to slide off*
[20:34] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel takes her ring off, and holds out a hand to Key, "...the ring, Key?"
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just focuses on keeping her energy from dipping
[20:35] <01Kit> 6Key peers at Raquel, narrowing her eyes over a cinnamon bun.
[20:35] <01Ariel> Raquel> "...please?"
[20:36] <01Kit> <Key> Mine.
06[20:36] * 01@Jennifer slides off and looks around a moment, starting in the direction they went. "Can't have gone too far."
[20:36] <01Ariel> Raquel> "The others need it Key... it only works here."
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> ... 6* He glances at Kane.
[20:36] <01Kane> <Kane> Yes?
[20:37] <01Kit> 6Key mimics X's deathlook on Raquel.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> I think you need to put more discipline into this team if you want members to obey.
06[20:37] * 01@Jennifer approaches them. "Hey guys, we're heading out."
[20:37] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X for help.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <X> Let her have it. I'm sure they don't need it. 6* She tells Raquel, ready to go even more now that she hears Jen's voice
[20:37] <01Kane> <Kane> You're not the only one that thinks that. 6He notes.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll have a talk with everyone later. *She mumbles, trying to focus*
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Lilith, then Key. "Okay, on 3, lets all jump. I have the reality programmed in we're going." 6* She eyes Raquel, then shows her the address she picked.
01[20:38] <01@Jennifer> "Guys? You coming?" *she calls out, heading toward them still*
[20:38] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel nods slowly. She ripples the holy ring to Jen, and then enters the coordinates.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* X speaks. "1. 2. 3." 6* She hits her button
03[20:39] * Jackieness (Psy@h4.185.18.98.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
[20:39] <01Ariel> 6* Raquel presses the button on 3
06[20:39] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks down at the ring, she leans down and picks it up. She frowns and puts it on for now and looks back up, "What's this about?"
04[20:39] <01Kit> 6Lilith hits as well. Key lingers a moment, then hrmphs and throws her stolen ring at Jennifer before hitting the button
04[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer stares at air nwo
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane's device detects their devices leaving
06[20:40] * 01@Jennifer blinks and catches it. She stares at nothing now. "...Whoa..."
06[20:40] * 01@Jennifer sighs and runs back to the others.
[20:41] <01Kane> 6* Kane pauses and arches a brow. 1What? Goddamnit.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What happened?
01[20:41] <01@Jennifer> "Hey they ummm... split."
[20:41] <01Kane> <Kane> They left. THey jumped away.
[20:41] <01Kit> 6And so Jen is hit by another ring but leaves it there.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?! Why?!
06[20:41] * 01@Jennifer caught the ring, thanks.
[20:42] <01Kane> <Kane> I don't know. 6He hisses.
[20:42] <01Kane> <Cole> W-Whoa if she left cause I called her out...
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Then she wasn't reliable.
[20:42] <01Kit> <Chii> Taburi.
[20:42] <01Dias`> <Dahok> So we're down...what four people now?
06[20:42] * 01@Jennifer sighs and climbs back up. "They left the rings, I've got Raquel's." *she hands Kane the other one*
[20:43] <01Kane> 6* Kane puts it on, still tense and annoyed. 1...
[20:43] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana is abnormally quiet at this turn of events
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head once, then lifts up into the air, turning and zooming in the direction of the sword
[20:44] <01Dias`> 6Dahok goes slightly pale at the uplifting and the zooming as he holds on tight
01[20:44] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron shakes his head again. "Might never see those girls again... over that?"
[20:45] <01Kane> <Kane> It shows you how childish she is. And how stupid they are. 6He notes with an annoyed tone, crossing his arms to peer out in the distance.
[20:45] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana realizes that she forgot to climp on, and quickly summons her dragon to try to catch up.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> .... 6* He's silent now as they fly over the land.
[20:47] <01Kit> <Chii> I wouldn't talk too much or I'll dump you off.
[20:47] <01Kit> <Chii> Lily probably went to make sure they're okay, besides X being her master. Keep calling her stupid and you'll piss me off.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She dips lower to the ground as they fly
06[20:48] * 01@Jennifer sighs deeply.
01[20:48] <01@Jennifer> "I hope she finds Dias..."
[20:48] <01Kane> <Kane> Just fly Chii.
[20:49] <01Kit> <Chii> Cherry's handling it, so piss off.
[20:49] <01Dias`> 6Dahok just holds on, probably not able to hear over all the noise caused by the air rushing past them
01[20:49] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> *looks out at the passing terrain as they fly, holding on*
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* She dips lower.
[20:50] <01Kane> <Cole> Uh. Are we supposed to be getting this low to the ground?
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Unless she is trying not to be detected.
[20:50] <01Kit> <Chii> Our synchronisation isn't great.
06[20:50] * 01@Jennifer looks up worriedly at Cheryl the Gear.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they fly, a giant beam of light flies from the north at the
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> *them
[20:51] <01Kane> 6* Kane jerks. 1Cheryl look out!
01[20:51] <01@Jennifer> "Guys...! Incoming!"
[20:51] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana fights with George, until he decides to pull out of the way
[20:51] <01Kit> 6Chii takes control and throws them upward.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii would find the gear sluggish - more so than the first time they ever formed one. The beam barely misses. Demons appear in the distance, flying their way
[20:52] <01Kane> 6* Kane tries to position himself so that he'll be stable enough to pull up his rifle, taking aim.
[20:52] <01Kit> <Chii> Maybe Cole would like to summon the horse for us to ride." 6She growls, then tries to get them going forward again.
[20:53] <01Kane> 6* Kane starts to fire once he gets clear shots.
06[20:53] * 01@Jennifer pulls out her gun, charging it, she then joins Kane in firing.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* KAne's shots hit the demons, but soom 12 appear. He drops 1 of the 12, the others zoom in at them.
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott takes a blaster into hand from his cloak and aims, firing for their eyes
[20:54] <01Kane> 6* Cole lifts up his arm, firing his minigun towards the incoming demons.
01[20:54] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron claps his hands together and holds out his hands, firing a ball of fire out at the demons.
[20:54] <01Kane> 6* Kane slams the hammer forward and aims again, firing.
06[20:54] * 01@Jennifer aims carefully and fires a charged blast at one.
04[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* 9 demons are left. They land swoop in and knock Jennifer off
04[20:55] <01Kit> 6Chii stops their progress so that Jennifer isn't left behind
[20:55] <01Dias`> 6Dahok holds his hand out to send a strong gust of wind at her from behind to throw her back at Cheryl
06[20:55] * 01@Jennifer cries out in surprise as she gets knocked, starting to fall.
04[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer is roughly saved. Another demon swoops in at Kane. PREPARE THYSELF
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 5
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 4

[20:55] <01Kane> rldurl
[20:55] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana bashes the crystaline dragon on the head, yelling at it to fire the cannon.
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane dodges the demon.
01[20:56] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron lets another ball of fire fly at the demon as it moves away from it's attempt.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* The demon is hit by the fire and falls from the sky.
06[20:56] * 01@Jennifer holds onto Cheryl, trying to regain her hold, and gets her gun ready again.
[20:56] <01Kane> 6* Kane lets out a breath, firing at another demon.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott takes aim and fires another eye shot
[20:57] <01Ariel> 6* George almost snips at Iyana, before opening it's mouth and firing a bolt of energy at one of the demons.
[20:57] <01Kane> 6* Cole continues to fire from his minigun.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* The seven remaining demons circle them and swoop in, only to get blasted. 5 remain after Cole helps George.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Another beam of light flies in at Cheryl.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* From the north
06[20:57] * 01@Jennifer charges her gun and takes aim, firing at another one.
[20:57] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes one of the demons and tries to send a gust of wind at it to send it flying towards another one
[20:57] <01Kit> 6Chii stops and kicks backwards, since she doesn't have the speed to dodge forward
[20:58] <01Kane> 6* Kane braces himself.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's stomach is scraped by the beam as Chii dodges; Dahok manages to knock a few into each other
06[20:58] * 01@Jennifer and Cameron hold on tight.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott twists to use his legs to hold on
[20:58] <01Dias`> 6Dahok jerks violently from the abrupt stop.
[20:58] <01Kane> 6* Cole acks and starts to fall, trying to catch on.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott holds out his gun for Cole to grab
[20:59] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana grabs on tightly, letting out a loud EEEEEEEP as George pulls up sharply, firing down at the demons while Cheryl's crew is busy holding on
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* The demons decide to fly over the team so if George fires, missed shots would hit them
[20:59] <01Kane> 6* Cole glances to Scott and nods his thanks, pulling himself up.
[21:00] <01Ariel> 6* George desides to dive bomb and grab at one of the demons, producing a louder eeeep from Iyana.
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* George grabs a demon. It bites at him
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The remainnig four demons fire blasts down at the team from above.
[21:01] <01Dias`> 6Dahok looks up. 1"We should get moving.
[21:01] <01Ariel> 6* George fires now that it's out of the way of the allies.
[21:01] <01Kane> 6* Kane winces and tries to shield himself as best he can.
[21:01] <01Kit> 6Chii digs into the ground and just starts dashing forward. 1"Fuck flying!"
[21:01] <01Dias`> 6Dahok jerks backwards as they start dashing forward
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* The demons watch Chii run away. Scott bounces hard
06[21:01] * 01@Jennifer holds on, while Cameron nearly falls off when they land suddenly.
[21:01] <01Kane> 6* Kane puts all his focus into holding on.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* No more laser blasts fly in now that they're this low
[21:02] <01Kane> <Cole> I.....feel....like....i'm...6He doesn't even finish.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott hangs on with his legs, peering up as the enemies fade from sight now
[21:03] <01Ariel> 6* George dives down to follow the mech closer to the ground. Iyana keeps her head low for safety.
[21:03] <01Dias`> 6Dahok bounces along with each step
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they run, suddenly they step int osomething that brings the gear to a complete stop so roughly Cheryl tips forward
[21:03] <01Kit> <Chii> Hold onto your lunch-- remember it's Cherry you might barf on
[21:03] <01Kane> 6* Kane jerks to hold on. But Cole falls off for sure.
[21:03] <01Dias`> 6Dahok is sent flying forward now
[21:03] <01Kit> 6Chii hurks at that, flailing arms to try and regain balance.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole falls off and lands in quicksand. Which is pulling the gear down slowly.
[21:04] <01Ariel> 6* George quickly attempts to backpedal, to avoid hitting the gear.
06[21:04] * 01@Jennifer clings to Cheryl and Cameron starts to fall, grabbing on at the last moment, groaning.
[21:04] <01Kit> <Chii> Son of a bitch
[21:04] <01Kane> <Cole> Oh fuck. Oh fuck. Oh fuck. 6He tense and tries to climb out.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott rolls to the edge and peers over.
[21:04] <01Dias`> 6Dahok peers down. 1"Crap..."
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers side to side, having been focused on maintaing form
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* The more Cole tries, the faster he sinks
[21:05] <01Kane> 6* Kane throws out a line to snag Dahok.
[21:05] <01Kane> 6* Cole lets out a breath and slowly sinks.
[21:05] <01Dias`> 6Dahok grabs onto it then tries to start pulling himself out
01[21:05] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I need to get to solid ground to change this, can't draw in quicksand."
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sinks to her knees.
[21:05] <01Kit> 6Chii growls, but reaches out to grab people stuck in the sand and lift them out of it
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii frees Cole
[21:06] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana has George land near the edge of the quicksand, and manifests a rope to throw to the others
[21:06] <01Kane> <Cole> Thanks! 6He smiles.
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a worm rises from the quicksand and eyes Cheryl face to face.
06[21:06] * 01@Jennifer climbs up Cheryl more, then uses her to get across to the edge.
[21:06] <01Kit> <Chii> What. The fuck.
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott turns to eye it, then aims his gun.
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> ...
[21:06] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana gapes and points, dropping the rope.
[21:06] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes go wide as the worm rises. 1"Oh this sucks."
04[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Poor Jennifer
01[21:07] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron hops off Cheryl and onto solid ground.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* CAmeron would hop off only into quicksand, since Cheryl isn't that close
[21:07] <01Kane> 6* Kane eyes the worm and aims with his rifle.
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm seems to wait for it's meal to sink more
06[21:08] * 01@Jennifer frowns, stuck on Cheryl it seems. She pulls out her gun.
[21:08] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Now would probably be a time to use some magic you have any.
[21:08] <01Kane> 6* Cole clears his throat. 1Cheryl. De-form and I'll teleport us all to safety.
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll never be able to transform again...too...weak..
[21:09] <01Kane> <Cole> Can you get out? Use your boosters and all that?
[21:09] <01Kit> <Chii> Use. We'll do it later.
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sinks to her thighs.
06[21:10] * 01@Jennifer frowns. "S-still sinking..."
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to use teh boosters.
[21:10] <01Kane> 6* Kane eyes the worm and them sinking. He frowns. 1Who has the earth ring. See if you can form some solid ground for us to stop sinking.
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm reacts by smacking into Cheryl to try to knock her further down
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott nods, then focuses on the ring
01[21:11] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron keeps still for now to slow his own sinking, reaching into his coat slowly to pull out a metal spoon.
[21:11] <01Kane> 6* Kane jerks and starts to fire at the worm.
[21:11] <01Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes and reaches out to try and bear hug the worm
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs the worm at the same time.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm thrashes now as it's shot and hugged. Cheryl begins to get uprooted.
06[21:11] * 01@Jennifer holds onto Cheryl for now, eeeping.
[21:12] <01Kane> 6* Cole makes a whoa sound, trying to stay on.
[21:12] <01Kit> 6Chii braces the fingers together and clenches as hard as she can, trying to crush it to death
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl focuses on the boosters. Suddenly they shoot up inot the sky with the worm, which is crushed by Chii
[21:12] <01Kit> 6Chii lets go, hrmphing.
[21:12] <01Dias`> 6Dahok hangs on for dear life
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Acidic remains remain on the arms of the gear
[21:13] <01Kane> <Kane> We're missing Cameron. 6He notes casually. Though he seems to be holding on as hard as he can.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists and zooms through the sky, trying to control herself; they leave CAmeron behind
01[21:13] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron forms the spoon into a line and metal hook, he tosses it to the solid ground and tries to hook it in.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* CAmeron succeeds - only to have a worm fall from the sky toward him
01[21:13] <01@Jennifer> "He tried jumping it. Bleh."
[21:14] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana gets back on the not-dragon and flies after the gear
01[21:14] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron grips it and shiifts it again, making it pull him quickly to shore.
01[21:14] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Lass! Wait up!"
[21:14] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Grab the rope!"
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* The boosters give out nad Cheryl plummets now, out of energy
01[21:15] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron grumbles and lunges for it.
[21:15] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana pauses, "...wait. That won'
[21:15] <01Kane> <Kane> ...
[21:15] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana pauses, "...wait. That won't work, I dropped it in the sand."
[21:15] <01Kane> <Cole> Well this is going to hurt.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* The worm lands near Cameron and throws quicksand all over him
[21:15] <01Dias`> <Dahok> This is going to hurt isn't it?
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts now to land o nthe side the others aren't on, aiming her hands forward for impact bracing
[21:15] <01Kit> <Chii> Cherry, desynchronise.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> <What?!>
[21:16] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana considers a minute more, than directs George back to get the alchemist.
[21:16] <01Kit> 6Chii looses wire from her arm device. 1"You heard me."
01[21:16] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns as he finds teh rope not attached, he grumbles as the quicksand blasts over him and claps his hands together, raising the solid ground under him out and up high.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes, and desynchs.
06[21:17] * 01@Jennifer hits the ground with a little "oof!" and rolls a bit.
04[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer dies, then.
06[21:17] * 01@Jennifer doesn't huit the ground then, yet. x.x
[21:18] <01Kit> 6Chii holds her hands toward the ground, mumbling as she squints. 1"Doton!" 6Calling up pillars and hurtling her hands out either way, throwing lengths of the wire tied to kunai to catch the spires she's making.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott eyes Dahok. "Wind would be good."
[21:18] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Yeah, wind over wires. Got ya. 6He starts forming strong gusts to slow everyone down.
[21:18] <01Kane> 6* Kane rubs his face as he plummets.
[21:18] <01Kane> 6* Cole tilts his head, upside down.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wind blows up, slowing them
06[21:19] * 01@Jennifer frowns as they plummet.
[21:19] <01Kit> 6Chii pulls up more wire and nets it to more kunai, twisting and flinging them outwards, twisted in a way that she starts making a net-- not a very good one, but enough to snag people paying attention.
[21:19] <01Kane> 6* Kane would use his wire to snag one of Chii's, not wanting to get sliced up.
[21:19] <01Dias`> 6Dahok keeps using his wind ring to slow everyone down towards the ground
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cherl grabs a wire once she's slwoed enough, hanging on with her tactical suit part to keep her arm
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott makes a pillar of earth rise up slowly and lands on it once Dahok slows himself. He rolls to a stop, bruised
[21:20] <01Ariel> 6* George taps his taloned foot
[21:21] <01Kane> 6* Cole frowns, landing in the net, getting damaged.
[21:21] <01Dias`> 6Dahok hits the ground and rolls himself, bashing himself off a bit
06[21:21] * 01@Jennifer grabs a wire as well once slowed. She pulls off her belt and uses it as a holder.
[21:22] <01Kane> <Kane> Good work, Chii.
[21:22] <01Kit> 6Chii hangs upside-down by her legs, her arms crossed. 1"If you say so..."
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slips to the ground, not moving now
[21:22] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana checks her non-existant watch
[21:22] <01Kit> <Chii> last time I did better I think.
[21:22] <01Dias`> 6Dahok grouns from where he lays. 1"O...Ouch
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott sits up
[21:22] <01Kane> <Kane> You still saved our lives. 6He notes, climbing up to help her right herself.
[21:23] <01Kane> 6* Cole climbs down.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves to check on Cheryl, who's pale again
06[21:25] * 01@Jennifer hangs for a moment, looking to see a safe way down.
[21:25] <01Kane> 6* Kane climbs down once he get Chii free and then rolls a bit after hopping down, he then checks on Cheryl. 1That took alot out of you.
[21:25] <01Dias`> 6Dahok coughs as he sits up now. 1"Everyone alive?
[21:25] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana idly reads a book.
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, sittnig up. She shows her teeth, which almost seem sharper.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If my sensors were right.... we're almost there.
06[21:27] * 01@Jennifer makes her own way down, rolling as she lands and winding up flopping, biting her lip as she whimpers in pain from putting pressure on her shoulder, just laying there a bit.
01[21:27] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes Iyana, on the dragon. "So... this isn't a dragon?"
[21:27] <01Ariel> Iyana> *doesn't look up from her book* "Not a dragon."
[21:27] <01Dias`> 6Dahok stands up now and moves over to the others. 1"We should get moving soon incase Janus sends more demons after us.
04[21:28] <01Kane> 6* Kane nods. 1Take a moment to rest. 6He moves over to check on Jennifer.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The strange guy is right - we should keep moving.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet, wobbily.
06[21:28] * 01@Jennifer whimpers a bit, still laying there, not noticing Kane at first. "Owwww..."
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott takes a bite of chocolate, then looks up - the afternoon sky is giving way to a darker color
[21:29] <01Dias`> Dahok glances at Cheryl. 1"I'm strange?" 6He holds his right hand out which is a pale green and he holds it towards Cheryl to try and heal her some.
[21:29] <01Kit> <Chii> I think he's just going to send more and more until we're dead or he is.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dahok, then herself, then him. "Yeah. Thanks, though."
01[21:29] <01@Jennifer> "I think he's winning Chii." *she sits up and tries using the Holy ring to heal herself a bit, she looks at Kane*
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Cole, how many times can you teleport all of us?
[21:30] <01Ariel> Iyana> *still reading* "Going to get out of the muck?"
04[21:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer is restored and has a minty smell now
[21:30] <01Kane> <Cole> Uh. Not that much.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Give me miles.
[21:30] <01Dias`> 6Dahok waves his hand the green disippating. 1"Fancy, I'd say you people were the strange ones."
06[21:30] * 01@Jennifer blinks and sniffs a bit. "...Oookay."
[21:30] <01Kane> 6* Kane tilts his head.
01[21:31] <01@Jennifer> * Cameorn climbs up on the Dragon.
[21:31] <01Kane> <Cole> Around 30. Give or take a few.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, then points in the direction she wants, then touches Cole.
[21:31] <01Kane> <Cole> Everyone has to touch.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves to help Chii up and over to Cole.
[21:31] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana urges George to fly off to the others and catch up
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Laser beams fly at Iyana the hero now
[21:31] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes Cheryl then Cole and he awkwardly pokes Cole with a finger
06[21:32] * 01@Jennifer slowly picks herself up and rotates her arm, blinking a bit impressed and moves over to Cole.
01[21:32] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Oh bloody hell."
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott touches Cole.
[21:32] <01Kane> 6* Kane reaches out to touch Cheryl who's touching Cole.
[21:32] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana throws the book at the laser as george banks heavily to one side
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* The book heroically sacrifices itself
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, we're ready.
06[21:33] * 01@Jennifer touches Cole's shoulder.
[21:33] <01Dias`> <Dahok> We waiting for the other strange one and the girl?
[21:34] <01Kit> <Chii> I guess.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She just now seems to notice they're gone
[21:34] <01Kane> <Cole> Up to Cheryl. IF so then we don't have to hug right now.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What happened to them?
[21:34] <01Dias`> 6Dahok peers at Cheryl
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* George catches up to the others.
[21:35] <01Kane> <Kane> Cameron jumped off. And the girl went to save him.
01[21:35] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah. He said something about needing solid ground."
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> In the quicksand, of all places.
[21:35] <01Ariel> Iyana> *waves to the others* "They finished off my book!" *sounds sad*
[21:35] <01Dias`> <Dahok> You alright there? You're kind of getting spacey.
01[21:35] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron peers down from George at the ground hug.
01[21:36] <01@Jennifer> *group
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Peachy. Get down here and touch us.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says the last part to Cameron.
[21:36] <01Kane> <Cole> Squeeze real hard.
01[21:36] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron hops down and raises a brown, the squeeze's Cole's arm hard.
[21:37] <01Kane> 6* Cole glances to Ilyana.
[21:37] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...I think it's safer on the George."
[21:37] <01Kane> 6* Cole starts to teleport them.
[21:37] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana changes her mind and dives George down
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* The group is teleported 30 miles, leaving Cole drained like a whore after an all nigher.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> *nighter
[21:38] <01Kane> 6* Cole collapses.
[21:38] <01Dias`> 6Dahok tries to catch Cole as he collapses
[21:38] <01Kit> <Chii> This is going well.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Before them is an old castle that looks like it's falling apart, with mash lands all around them. A fog floats about
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes several breaths, sniffing the air. "Something is wrong about this place."
[21:39] <01Kane> <Kane> Probably corrupted.
01[21:39] <01@Jennifer> "Apart from the creepy old castle vibe?"
[21:39] <01Kane> <Cole> ..thanks. I'll stay here.
[21:39] <01Ariel> Iyana> "I think this is evil land."
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* A bird stares at them from a rotten tree that's half sunk in the marshes
[21:40] <01Dias`> <Dahok> You sure? There's all sorts of evil out here. Like an evil bird.
[21:40] <01Kane> <Cole> You'd rather carry me? I'll stay.
[21:40] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Just don't get all mad if the crows start to pick out your eyes. 6He sets him down
[21:41] <01Kane> <Cole> I'd spit at it.
01[21:41] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "...It's not all bad... I wouldn't want to build a summer home here or anything but the fog is sort of peaceful."
[21:41] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Fog's evil. 6He turns to eye the castle now
[21:41] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...you're crazy."
[21:41] <01Dias`> <Dahok> So who wants to go first? 6He looks over at Scott
01[21:41] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Always a little, dove."
06[21:42] * 01@Jennifer rolls her eyes and looks about.
[21:42] <01Kane> 6* Kane adjusts his suit and pulls a pistol out. 1If you need to stay here and rest Cheryl. I understand.
[21:42] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana sits on George's head, hopefully above the fog.
[21:43] <01Dias`> <Dahok> They say an evil undead knight protects the sword.
01[21:43] <01@Jennifer> "This holy magic seems to work well... I could try healing her."
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head. "Lets stick together."
[21:43] <01Kane> <Cole> I thought it was a dragon.
[21:44] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Oh you heard about that too.
[21:44] <01Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"This is just some run down summer home as is. This isn't the corruption."
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves forward - as they get closer, they can see that the draw bridge has rotten away into nothing and now a sickly marsh colored swamp goo is between them and the castle gate
[21:44] <01Kane> <Kane> I didn't mean that corruption.
[21:44] <01Dias`> <Dahok> They also say whoeve enters, never exits. 6He walks along with Cheryl
04[21:45] <01Kane> 6* Kane steps up by Cheryl. 1Let Jennifer see if the ring can help you.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We might need the magic for injuries in battle.
[21:45] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...who's they?"
[21:45] <01Kit> 6Chii forms seals, then starts to focuses and chant silently.
[21:45] <01Dias`> <Dahok> The people who've came back.
[21:46] <01Kane> 6* Kane nods slightly, and glances to see what Chii is doing.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott looks around. The fog grows thicker and soon it's like they're surrounded in it.
01[21:46] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns and moves near where the bridge should be, he kneels down and starts to draw on the ground with the end of his spoon.
[21:47] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Anyone else feel like the fog's getting thicker?
[21:47] <01Kit> 6Chii finishes, then reaches up. 1"Zettai Hyoton!" 6She brings her fist down into the ground and punches it-- acting freezing air upon it to create a new 'bridge.'
01[21:47] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks up at the yelling and tilts his head. "...Mmm... that's one way."
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott peers at the bew bridge.
[21:47] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...Is that even safe?
[21:47] <01Kane> <Kane> Surely.
[21:48] <01Dias`> <Dahok> You can go first then.
[21:48] <01Kane> 6* Kane starts to move forward carefully.
[21:48] <01Kit> 6Chii leaps down onto her bridge and starts walking
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves forward at the same time
[21:49] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana has George flutter over the goo
[21:49] <01Dias`> 6Dahok watches them walk on it then follows.
06[21:49] * 01@Jennifer blinks and shrugs, following the three.
01[21:49] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron waits for others to clear the bridge, hands behind his back.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they enter the castle courtyard, they'd see skeletons half sunk into the muddy ground - ahead of them is the castle doors.
[21:50] <01Kit> <Chii> You realize it's ice, right. The longer you wait, the less stable it is. Some alchemist you are.
[21:50] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I bet those are people who've tried getting the sword from the litch king.
[21:50] <01Kane> 6* Kane eyes the skeleton. 1Litch King?
01[21:50] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron moves over after the rest.
[21:50] <01Kit> <Chii> Lich?
[21:50] <01Dias`> 6Dahok shrugs. 1"It could be.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott looks about, investigating things.
[21:50] <01Kit> 6Chii pauses and eyes back, a rather ...uncharacteristic expression of fright on her face.
01[21:50] <01@Jennifer> "Sounds like Leech, almost. What's a Lich?"
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts a hand on Chii.
[21:51] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Might even be the undead dead.
01[21:52] <01@Jennifer> "Wouldn't undead dead be... well... dead?"
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves to the doors, ignoring the chatter
[21:53] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Don't know, never ran into one. 6He stays with the group, not one to veer away from numbers.
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps up to the wooden doors, then grabs a chain that acts a the door knob and yanks on it. The skeletons in the mud rattle
[21:54] <01Kane> 6* Kane tilts his head and sighs. 1Of course. 6He pulls out his stun baton.
[21:54] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...Did anybody elses hair on the back of their necks just stand on end?
[21:54] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana follows along, but is mostly keeping an eye out for Evil McNastys... and eyes the skeletons as they rattle. "...nope."
06[21:54] * 01@Jennifer looks about nervously, sticking close to Kane. Cameron looks about, frowning as he keeps up with the group.
[21:54] <01Kit> 6Chii leaps and eyes the skeletons.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* The skeletons rise up from the ground, a giant snake curling about their bones and one sticking out the eye of a skeleton. Five rise up in total.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* In their hands are rusted swords
[21:55] <01Kit> <Chii> No, fuck you.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns back to stare. Scott puts a hand on his sword
[21:55] <01Kit> 6Chii hurtles a small device at where some are grouped-- an explosive.
[21:55] <01Dias`> 6Dahok turns to eyes the skeletons. 1"Hah, I knew it. Undead dead.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* The explosive blows up three skeletons, scattering bones
[21:55] <01Kit> <Chii> Bomb beats bones.
[21:56] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Shoo! Shoo!"
06[21:56] * 01@Jennifer turns and backs away from the skeletons, Cameron snaps his fingers and ignites the air around one of them.
04[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* The skeleton walks toward Jennifer - through the fire
[21:56] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I...I hope they dont' turn into flaming skeletons.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl yanks harder on the door and slides it open an inch, then yanks more.
[21:56] <01Kane> 6* Kane waits, holding his stun baton. Not able to move and attack at the same time.
01[21:56] <01@Jennifer> * Jennifer backs away more and pulls out her gun, firing at one of them.
04[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer blows one's head off. IT walks at Jennifer still
[21:57] <01Kit> 6Chii screams and runs into them apparently to attack head on
[21:57] <01Dias`> 6Dahok turns and helps Cheryl open the door now
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* They stab at Chii
01[21:57] <01@Jennifer> "No way!" *she fires at one's leg*
[21:57] <01Kit> 6Chii juts to the side and sweeps with her leg to knock them back to the ground
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dahok and Cheryl begin to open the door, finally moving it through the muddy ground until it's open two feet.
04[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer shoots one's leg off. It hops toward her. Chii knocks one off it's feet
[21:58] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Big enough to get in. 6He looks back at the others and whistles loudly.
06[21:58] * 01@Jennifer raises a brow and shoots at the other leg.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* It falls over and crawls at Jen
[21:58] <01Kane> 6* Kane steps forward and moves to stomp at the skeleton terrorizing Jen.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves to the door and inside. Cheryl shifts in as well - they are in a dark hallway, complete with glass stained windows and epic sized chandeliers.
[21:59] <01Dias`> 6Dahok moves in after the two.
[21:59] <01Kit> 6Chii spins around and kicks the skeleton back up, then leaps after it, quickly moving to combo its back with her gauntlets, kick upward and then flip to slam it downward. 1"L-Lion combo!"
06[21:59] * 01@Jennifer just whimpers. Letting Kane come to her rescue.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane breaks the skeleton to pieces. Chii just breaks her's apart.
[21:59] <01Kane> 6* Kane motions for Jen to move inside.
01[21:59] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns slightly and moves in after the others, Jennifer stares at the skeleton's remains and then looks to Kane, then heads in after the others.
[22:00] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana rides her not-dragon inside, not wanting to get down
[22:00] <01Kit> 6Chii runs after the others, freaking and shivering
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the hallway - it smells of mold in here.
[22:00] <01Kane> 6* Kane backs inside.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* On the far end is a set of stairs that leads upward by fancily moving left and right
[22:02] <01Dias`> <Dahok> More magic.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* The glass stained pictures portray young women being impaled.
[22:02] <01Kane> <Kane> Lovely place. 6He breathes.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott frowns more
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves ahead to the stairs
[22:02] <01Kit> <Chii> ... H-He is an enemy of all women.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* A hand touches Chii's shoulder. "And I am a lover of all women."
[22:02] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Who said it's a he? Hell have no fury like a woman...something or another
[22:03] <01Kit> 6Chii whirls, freaking and shrieking
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* John jerks back.
[22:03] <01Kit> <Chii> H-H-Holy shit!
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks back
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6 John rubs the back of his head. Scott turns to eye him
06[22:03] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks back at John. "Sensei!"
[22:03] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana hides behind the dragon at the shriek
[22:03] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes her gun pointed at John's nuts.
[22:03] <01Kane> 6* Kane glances slightly as John once, and then looks ahead.
[22:04] <01Kit> <Chii> ...
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> <John> It's happy to see you, too
[22:04] <01Dias`> 6Dahok turns at the shrieking and eyes the new guy.
06[22:04] * 01@Jennifer practically tackles him in a hug.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* John shifts to take the tackle, putting an arm around Jen
[22:04] <01Kit> <Chii> F-Fucker, that's a good way to end your life-- sn-sneaking up on a ninja.
[22:04] <01Kane> <Kane> It just shows you're getting rusty. 6He notes to Chii. Then begins to move forward.
[22:04] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes her gun, as if it's debating its own will to fire, then puts it away.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head, then moves forward.
06[22:04] * 01@Jennifer smiles up at him a moment.
[22:04] <01Dias`> 6Dahok rubs the back of his head and turns, moving after the others
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> <John> I came with good news.
[22:04] <01Kit> <Chii> N-Nobody asked you!
[22:05] <01Kit> 6Chii hrmphs at Kane and chases after Cheryl, grabbing onto one of her arms
01[22:05] <01@Jennifer> "What's up?"
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> <John> I think I might have found Lemon.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers back
[22:05] <01Kane> 6* Kane pauses and glances over his shoulder.
06[22:05] * 01@Jennifer blinks a bit. "...Really?"
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <John> No guarentees. But there's a lot of activity in one of the realities they use. More than normal
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers at Scott now, and the two eye each other. <John> Isn't he the one in the tavern?
[22:06] <01Kane> <Kane> Yes. Do you know him?
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <John> No
01[22:06] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah, he sorta joined up."
[22:06] <01Kane> <Kane> Good. 6He notes with a nod.
06[22:07] * 01@Jennifer tilts her head. "Think Lemon might be with Ben?"
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl bites her lip now. "We should get the sword while we're here."
04[22:07] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes Jennifer.
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> <John> I don't know.
[22:07] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana eyes John from around the not-dragon.
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> <John> I just came back here as fast as I could to let you all know - it's suicide to go, but I figured you'd try anyway.
[22:08] <01Kit> <Chii> Of course.
06[22:08] * 01@Jennifer smirks a little.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* John seems to be doing a head count
[22:08] <01Kane> <Kane> Care to put the coordinates into my datapad?
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <John> Yeah. Toss it here.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott looks back and forth now between people.
[22:08] <01Kane> 6* Kane reaches out to give it to John. Not about to throw his only source reality traverl.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* John takes it, probably just using it as a phrase. He begins to enter the coordinates. Behind them, the castle door slams shut
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* And the air grows colder.
[22:09] <01Kit> 6Chii squeaks and squeezes on Cheryl
[22:09] <01Kane> 6* Kane glances up. 1Hmm.
06[22:09] * 01@Jennifer blinks, looking behind John towards the door.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii would begin to smell something inticing to her demon senses, calling her upstairs.
[22:09] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Definetly ghosts.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* John looks back, then ahead. "Ghosts?"
01[22:09] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "...Really now? Isn't this a little dramatic?"
[22:09] <01Kane> <Kane> Or magic.
[22:10] <01Kit> 6Chii peers back at the staircase and slowly loosens her grip on Cheryl. 1"..."
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks like she's sensing the same thing - she begins to walk up the steps.
[22:10] <01Dias`> <Dahok> No I'd definetly say ghosts and not magic
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <John> Don't fuck with ghosts.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* John holds out the pad to Kane
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <John> Where's Raquel?
01[22:10] <01@Jennifer> "I'm not a fan of facing the undead... she went with X."
[22:10] <01Kit> 6Chii shakes her head, rubbing her nose like an allergy, then runs to be with Cheryl
[22:10] <01Kane> 6* Kane nods his thanks, pocketing it. 1She left with X and her followers.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> I think we have problems. Those two just went up the stairs quickly.
[22:11] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...And those two are running off." 6He eyes the others.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers at the stairs
[22:11] <01Kane> 6* Kane arches a brow and moves after them.
01[22:11] <01@Jennifer> "They hopped realities." *she frowns a bit, then looks at the stairs* "Let's follow."
[22:11] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana urges the dragon towards the stairs, pushing when she needs to
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Cheryl and Chii move through a set of doors up stairs, they close. The stairs aren't big enough for George.
[22:11] <01Kane> 6* Kane slides to a halt, frowning. 1Damnit.
01[22:12] <01@Jennifer> "...That can't be good."
[22:12] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana still tries to push him up as he refuses.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott hurries up the stairs quickly to the door
[22:12] <01Kane> 6* Kane walks up after Scoot, peering around the door quickly.
[22:12] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana sighs and gives up, going around the not-dragon and heading upstairs
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* It looks like a normal door. Scott reaches for the handle, but it refuses to budge.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves up the stairs, putting his hands in his coat pockets.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <John> This place reeks with power.
06[22:13] * 01@Jennifer lets go of John and moves with him.
[22:13] <01Dias`> 6Dahok makes his way up the stairs and upto the door. 1"It's magic."
01[22:13] <01@Jennifer> "Everything here is magic."
[22:14] <01Kane> 6* Kane hmms and tries to pry the door open.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* The door doesn't budge. Scott eyes him
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> We need to use the rings, probably.
[22:14] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I could try to huff and puff the door down.
[22:14] <01Kane> <Kane> To force them open. Or like the cave, reacting to magic?
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Probably force. If magic is sealing it, we need better magic.
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Or explosives.
[22:15] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Wha'ts explosives?
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <John> I have no more nukes, sadly.
[22:15] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana checks for a lock on the door, just in case.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* It doesn't seem to have any discernable lock.
[22:16] <01Dias`> 6Dahok taps his chin then holds his hand towards the door, summing a strong gust of wind at it
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wind bats at the door, causing it to rattle, but it doesn't open
[22:16] <01Kane> 6* Kane throws his hand forward to send a blast of fire out for the door along with the wind.
[22:16] <01Dias`> 6Dahok looks at Kane. 1"If you're not going to use your ring, I could take it off oyur hand....There ya go
01[22:17] <01@Jennifer> "I've got Water and Holy magic."
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* The door catches on fire and turns to ashes
01[22:17] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron heads up after the others.
[22:18] <01Kane> 6* Kane waves his hand like the fire actually burnt him some.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* On the other side is a gallery of marble statues, looking like they're eroding. Faces are missing or distorted.
[22:18] <01Dias`> 6Dahok peers around as he steps inside
[22:18] <01Kane> 6* Kane moves forward, glancing left and right. Looking for Cheryl.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* On the far side is a seemingly dead end, with two statues 3 feet apart on one wall, one facing ahead, the other right
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers in, making faces.
[22:19] <01Kane> 6* Kane eyes the statues. Can they be moved?
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* He'd have to try.
06[22:20] * 01@Jennifer rubs the back of her head. "They had to go somewhere."
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> <John> Magic?
01[22:20] <01@Jennifer> "Magic."
[22:20] <01Dias`> <Dahok> That's crazy.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott walks forward, eyeing things.
[22:20] <01Kane> 6* Kane tries to rotate the statue.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* It moves.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> <John> Or just ancient trickery.
[22:21] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Told you it wasn't magic.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <John> Maybe it's magic that lets it move? Hmmm?
01[22:22] <01@Jennifer> "It's always magic, it's easier that way."
[22:22] <01Dias`> 6Dahok points a finger at John. 1"You must be a thinker."
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <John> I'm told that I am.
[22:22] <01Kane> 6* Kane points the left statue to the wall, then moves to the other and does the same thing.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens
06[22:24] * 01@Jennifer leans on her Sensei a bit while she observes Kane. "Get them to look at each other maybe?"
[22:24] <01Kane> 6* Kane turns one to look at the other, motioning for someone else to do the same to the other.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> With how their faces are so distorted, I'm not sure if they'd want to loo kat each other.
[22:25] <01Kane> <Kane> Any suggestions?
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves over and grabs a statue, turning it to face Kane's.
[22:25] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Maybe make them look away from each other.
[22:25] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Or one looking away from the other.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* John sees nothing happen, then turns to face his one way.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <John> Right, look away it is
[22:26] <01Kane> 6* Kane nods and does the same, to make his look away.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* The wall rattles and lowers, revealing a staircase
01[22:26] <01@Jennifer> "Cool."
[22:26] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Man I'm good.
[22:27] <01Kane> 6* Kane moves for the staircase quickly.
01[22:27] <01@Jennifer> "Yeah, good idea." *she smiles and moves for the staircase, Cameron follows*
[22:27] <01Dias`> 6Dahok moves after the others
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott follows Kane; John moves up. The staircase leads them up to another floor, where they're in a tower like area. However, the tower extends rather high, and there's no visible way up now, as if someone just took the stairs out
[22:28] <01Dias`> 6Dahok peers above them.
06[22:28] * 01@Jennifer looks up curiously.
[22:28] <01Ariel> Iyana> "...flying would be good."
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> <John> I don't see any statues this time.
[22:29] <01Kane> 6* Kane glance sup, then around. Frowning.
[22:29] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Someone could try some magic.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* John nods, then lifts his hand, unleashing a fire ball. AS it shoots up, shadows appear mid-air from the flame, in a circular motion around the walls
[22:30] <01Kane> <Kane> Invisible stairs?
[22:30] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Ok...That was different.
01[22:31] <01@Jennifer> "Maybe we could put something on the stairs to make them visible?"
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Like ourselves?
[22:31] <01Dias`> <Dahok> We should just walk up them instead. 6He moves to the edge
01[22:31] <01@Jennifer> "I was thinking dirt or something, then ourselves. Don't want to misstep."
[22:31] <01Kane> 6* Kane glances around and moves to try to get on one.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane steps into something solid
[22:32] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana manfests a walking stick so she can feel the step in front of her, and heads after Kane and Dahok
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott muses, then moves up beside KAne and places his foot up high and forward, stepping up in mid-air on the invisible stairs
[22:32] <01Dias`> 6Dahok eyes Scott and Kane and follows suit.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves ahead and trips on his face
[22:32] <01Kane> 6* Kane tilts his head and steps up after Scott. He mused and pulls out his flashlight seeing if they cast a shadow.
[22:33] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana attempts to start up the stairs
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* The beam stops mid-air, unable to shine through the stairs
06[22:33] * 01@Jennifer sighs and helps John up.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Smart.
[22:33] <01Kane> 6* Kane nods once and moves up to the next one, shining ahead to get and idea of where to go.
[22:33] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...Ooh. What's that?
[22:33] <01Kane> <Kane> Flashlight. Like a torch.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they work their way up in a circular motion along the walls, suddenly the light shines through lower. Scott comes to a stop at that
01[22:34] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "We call them a torch where I come from, oddly."
[22:34] <01Dias`> <Dahok> That's kind of cool.
[22:34] <01Kane> 6* Kane tilts his head, then moves the light to the left to see if it finds something else.
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* It doesn't.
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> <John> So... is there a gap?
[22:36] <01Kane> <Kane> Hmm. It seems so.
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> <John> Wave it around wildly?
[22:36] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Good thing you had that torch.
06[22:36] * 01@Jennifer just frowns quietly.
[22:36] <01Ariel> Iyana> "There's a hole in our staircase~..."
[22:36] <01Dias`> <Dahok> So uh...who has the water ring?
01[22:37] <01@Jennifer> "Me."
[22:37] <01Kane> 6* Kane moves it around in random directions.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Why water?
[22:37] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Water would land on top of the stairs, right?
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane's beam stops upward a bit - about 5 feet. It seems the stairs go upward in an angle with a 5 foot gap
[22:37] <01Kane> 6* Kane tilts his head. 1I don't think I can make that jump.
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> <John> I could throw you
01[22:38] <01@Jennifer> "It'd also make them slippery."
[22:38] <01Kane> <Kane> I'd rather not be thrown, thanks. You. Magic girl. Can you make a ladder?
[22:38] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Never thought about it.
01[22:39] <01@Jennifer> "It's why I suggested dirt earlier. S'ok though."
[22:39] <01Kane> 6* Kane eyes Dahok answer when he says Magic Girl.
[22:39] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Hmmm... oh! Um, me? I think so."
[22:40] <01Kane> 6* Kane nods and waits for her to try.
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> <John> Shame we don't have Raquel. Why did they leave again to follow X? Did she miss Dias?
[22:40] <01Kane> <Kane> She and Cole got into a fight and then they left.
06[22:41] * 01@Jennifer rubs the back of her head. "Fight was probably just a snapping point, not the real reason. I bet she's looking for Dias."
[22:41] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana concentrates a moment, then starts to seemingly pull a ladder out the air, hoping it'll be long enough to reach
[22:41] <01Kane> <Kane> Of course.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* If it can cover a 5 foot angle gap, then yes, it's long enough
[22:42] <01Kane> 6* Kane moves over to take it and hold it steady for the others.
[22:42] <01Ariel> Iyana> "I... I think it's an inch too long."
[22:42] <01Dias`> 6Dahok stats to climb up it
[22:42] <01Kane> <Kane> It's fine. Thank you.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* John climbs up, as does Scott.
[22:43] <01Ariel> * Iyana heads across when there's room
06[22:43] * 01@Jennifer climbs up, as does Cameron.
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they climb more, they can see a doorway on the top
[22:46] <01Dias`> 6Dahok looks at the door as they get closer
[22:46] <01Kane> <Kane. ..almost there.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* It looks like a normal doorway. Scott stops before approaching, since everything else has been a trap
06[22:47] * 01@Jennifer stops too, Cameron eyes the door. "Does that door look remarkably innocent to anyone else?"
[22:47] <01Kane> 6* Kane shines the light around it.
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* It shines through - no ground
[22:48] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Good thinking.
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> So how do we open it with no ground?
[22:49] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Burn it down and leap across?
[22:49] <01Kane> 6* Kane pulls his wire out and attaches it to the side of his gun, then fires it for the door to it'll stick into it.
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* It does so
[22:50] <01Kane> 6* Kane pulls the wire tout and motions to the others. 1If it's not magic induced, we may just be able to pull it open.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> <John> Lets hope for the best
01[22:50] <01@Jennifer> "Kay."
[22:50] <01Dias`> 6Dahok grabs ahold and tries to pull with Kane
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* John dramatically grabs KAne and pulls him
[22:51] <01Kane> 6* Kane pu-he pauses and eyes John.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* The door begins to creak open
[22:51] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana tenses for dramatic purposes
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* John pulls more and the door opens to reveal a throne room on the other side
01[22:52] <01@Jennifer> "Now how do we get to the door itself?"
[22:53] <01Kane> 6* Kane shakes his head slightly and shines the light to make sure they have a place to jump too.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* The floor is solid. They can see Cheryl standing there, and Chii fighting some man in black
03[22:53] * Jackieness (Psy@h4.185.18.98.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #taw
[22:53] <01Kane> 6* Kane detaches the wire and moves to leap across now.
[22:54] <01Dias`> 6Dahok tenses then leaps across after Kane
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6 *John leaps across as well. The man turns to eye them, hissing
[22:54] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana makes sure John is clear, and then leaps across
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* On the far wall above the throne is a sword
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott leaps across once Iyana is clear.
[22:54] <01Kane> <Kane> Lich King?
[22:54] <01Dias`> <Dahok> Litch King.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man holds up a hand at CHeryl. "Destroy them." 6* Cheryl just eyes him
06[22:55] * 01@Jennifer leaps across after Scott is clear.
[22:55] <01Kane> 6* Kane moves towards the fall wall, hoping he can be kept distracted.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man seems to rage now as Cheryl ignores him.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <John> So is this the big bad?
[22:56] <01Ariel> Iyana> "He sounds angry. Maybe he's itchy?"
[22:56] <01Dias`> 6Dahok steps forward and sends a strong gust of wind for the man.
[22:56] <01Kane> 6* Kane moves to try and grab the sword.
01[22:56] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron leaps across when Jenn gets clear, Jennifer looks about. "I guess so."
[22:56] <01Kit> <Chii> The only one that can 'feast' on me in any sense is Cherry!
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man send shis own gust out to cancel Dahok's. As Kane grabs it, a magic barrier repels him
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> T-Tch.
[22:57] <01Kit> 6Chii throws a set of kunai at the man.
[22:57] <01Kane> 6* Kane is knocked back onto his ass. 1...
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man is hit by the kunai, distracted by Dahok
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott aims his gun and fires, hitting the man in the face, causing blood to splurt out. The man howls in rage, showing demonic features now
[22:57] <01Dias`> 6Dahok reaches behind his back and grabs two short staffs and locks them together.
[22:57] <01Kit> 6Chii breaks out a gun quickly and shoots at them in rapidfire mode, trying to explode the plastique attached
[22:58] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana manifests a sword that looks like the special sword, and throws it at the man like a tomahawk
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man is hit by the sword adn gunshots, then explodes. The sword falls off the wall beside Kane
[22:58] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...Well that was anti-climactic
06[22:58] * 01@Jennifer holds out her hand and stops when the man goes boom. She arches a brow. "Don't complain, we won."
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* A portal of light opens up on the floor.
[22:59] <01Kit> <Chii> Suck it, bitch!
[22:59] <01Ariel> Iyana> "Sword beats itch!"
[22:59] <01Kane> 6* Kane picks himself up and lifts up the sword.
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head, trying to clear it. "I hate this place."
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* The sword feels light.
[22:59] <01Kane> <Kane> Hmm. Interesting. 6He plays around with its balance.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> <John> So we got what we came here for, or are we after this reality's crystal?
[23:00] <01Dias`> <Dahok> We need the sword to stop Janus
[23:00] <01Kit> <Chii> I don't need the sword to maul that fucker.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott eyes the light
01[23:00] <01@Jennifer> "We're saving the world... and getting a crystal."
01[23:00] <01@Jennifer> "So best of both worlds." *she grins*
[23:00] <01Kane> <Kane> This Janus man has the crystal. He's using it to control the world through fear and monsters.
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> <John> Alright then. I'm sure we have time to beat him.
[23:01] <01Kit> <Chii> I'm going to prove to Ixion that I'm not just another one of these lowborne bastards!
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets get out of here.
[23:02] <01Kane> 6* Kane tilts his head, then steps into the 'light'.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane vanishes in a teleport.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* John stares. "And here I thought he was the cautious one."
[23:02] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana grabs the fake sword, and hurries towards the light
[23:02] <01Dias`> <Dahok> I'd say more impatient
[23:02] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes the light cautiously, considering she's weak to light elements.
06[23:02] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks at the others. "He usually is."
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott steps in. Cheryl pulls Chii in
[23:02] <01Dias`> 6Dahok steps in
01[23:02] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron steps into the light, Jennifer does too.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Those who step in appear outside a village; it's night now.
[23:03] <01Kane> 6* Kane tilts his head the other way now.
[23:03] <01Dias`> 6Dahok peers around the village
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* The village is the most northward village. Dahok would recognize it.
[23:03] <01Kit> <Chii> Uh, convenient. So who pulled that off?
[23:04] <01Dias`> <Dahok> ...This is...6He moves off quickly
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott squints. "Perhaps Janus?"
[23:04] <01Kit> <Chii> Why would he give us a shortcut?
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Overconfidence, perhaps.
01[23:04] <01@Jennifer> "Perhaps whatever force set up a legendary sword that's supposed to crush the evil badguy?"
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sinks to her knees, taking a break now, looking worn out.
[23:05] <01Kane> 6* Kane watches Dahok move off and glances to the others. 1Let's find a place to rest.
01[23:05] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Wibbly wobbly..."
[23:05] <01Dias`> 6Dahok puases a bit off. 1"There's an inn that way. 6He motions
06[23:05] * 01@Jennifer looks about curiously, taking a headcount.
[23:05] <01Kit> 6Chii kneels and hugs Cheryl.
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Chii, leaning into her. "Sorry about that holding thing."
01[23:06] <01@Jennifer> "We're short people again..."
[23:06] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana looks to Kane, glancing at the two swords, "You think if you put both together, you get a stronger sword?"
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <John> Once we leave, we can synch with everyone
01[23:06] <01@Jennifer> "Okay."
[23:07] <01Kane> 6* Kane glances to her, then shrugs slightly.
[23:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* John glances up at the stars.
[23:08] <01Ariel> 6* Iyana pouts
[23:08] <01Kane> 6* Kane glances to Cheryl and Chii. 1Need help getting to the inn?
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm fine, thanks
[23:08] <01Kit> <Chii> It's okay. You heard me. That's all that matters.
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods at Chii. "Yeah."
[23:08] <01Kane> 6* Kane nods to them and moves ahead in that direction.
06[23:09] * 01@Jennifer puts her arms behind her head in a stretch and looks over at John.
