Session Ident: #Session431
<DeathStar> 3.1.2863
<DeathStar> The airship lands outside Oshan, the north east port city, where Lia's group is headed to get their Death Marks taken care of. What they find however is a group of dominatrix warriors standing in their way. Said warriors prove Saedi still has some degree of compassion, or at least, an agreement with Jubei and the others that left. They're handed a map to a leyline and told to get out of the country after visiting it, to never return to Blantress on pain of death. Lia acts as the group speaker and agrees, and asks they relay a message of their regret before they leave. As they leave, a group of Mason Mages joins them, having to leave their homes behind permenantly, the Guild is not exiled, but this small group from the clinic chose to go with the group to heal them.
<DeathStar> They fly off to the forest city of elves, it seems untouched by the conflict yet, however, the group isn't about to tarry long. A dominatrix clad woman with a Serpent Queen drops of Jubei, who has rejoined the group. Lia gives her the sword and those marked for murder wait in the ship while Jubei and Maka go to the leyline to harvest the Water Mana. After which, the group takes off for Ama'dorei, recieving some help from the Mason Mages on the way, who are able to weaken their Death Marks, but not remove them, perscribing Blood Magik to do so, something only the NAG can offer.
<DeathStar> In North Sinai, after some investigation they learn that Lilica has indeed left with Anima C, and Truth expresses her worry because as far as the group knows, Anima C was in the hands of the Gelus Royal Family. The group boards the caravan and carries on for now, heading towards Jeanole. Jean is frightened from sex when the scurrs mate.
<DeathStar> 3.4.2863
<DeathStar> Arriving in Kerthal, the Leyline group heads to the palace where they are greeted with honors and allowed by Tina to see the leyline. This attempt goes a little messier than normal as Jubei slips when climbing down and nearly falls into the Leyline itself, however, at the last moment, Lia is able to toss a knife into the wall that Jubei can grab and she is able to be pulled back up. Jubei's boot melts against they leyline and the proximity gives Jubei mana poisoning.
<DeathStar> Lia remembers the NAG and after they recover, urges that they stay for the night so they can arrange healing. Which they later learn will take the better part of a day to get prepared and have done to their marks, however, this allows them some time to relax in Kerthal before going after that most serious of final elements, the Demon Realm's Dark Mana.
<DeathStar> 3.6.2863
<DeathStar> Jean's group arrives back in Jeanole to be greeted with the Demon Realm team awaiting her. Jean is upset however, when she discovers that several of the group have had large life occurances without her around, and shuts herself off in her room after greeting them, giving an avoiding agreement to their stay. She does however fully authorize every Templar they can spare to help the group in their assault. Future Jean and Umi make their investiations and choose Rachael as a vessel to help them guarantee the future. The group rests for the evening, planning to launch the next day when Kaelan relaizes Jean isn't going to spend any real time with them, and the war is pressing in.
<DeathStar> 3.7.2863
<DeathStar> The next morning, Lin Erica lets the group know that the Templars are mounting an offensive to distract the Demon Realm from the true force's entry point. As they group readies to leave, Jean comes to see them off, some giving sad goodbyes, but a positive sign is seen, Umi holding hands with Jean, hints that they might be getting together, a sign of relief for all those that know that the Evil Jean in Jean's nightmares isn't the one from the future. As far as they know, at any rate.

And Now...

<DeathStar> 3.7.2863
<DeathStar> Location: Kerthal (intro to follow)
* Aqua has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Aqua has joined #Session431
<DeathStar> 6* Having gotten the Earth mana inside the Rune Blade, each slot squishing with mana now (due to two Holys) and having spent a solid night of being detoxed with blood magik, splattered with blood of naked Blood Mages and then having to spend the day recovering, and the day after that getting their stuff together, the group is finally ready to go. Jubei, looking a little different, seems fabulous somehow, and Selena and Sel see them off on their ship
<Aqua> *Bel readies the ship
<DeathStar> <Selene> Do you want any NAG Mages to come with you?
<Aqua> *Having acquired a captain's hat
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei peers at herself and looks troubled. 1"What's... different.."
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee checks over everything on the ship, and Lin is admiring something on Jubei a lot
<Sera> * Lia mews and waves. "We have some Masons... Would they mind the company?"
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei peers at Lin and follows her eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Her chest area
<DeathStar> 6* Lyn relaxes, drinking
<DeathStar> <Selene> Well, it is up to you. We here you are going into the Demon Realm and NAG Mages will be more useful there than Masons
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Give the masons the choice to depart now as well."
<Aqua> Bel> I don't mind
<Sera> Lia> It might be the first step to the goal Tanya has for me, let me see with the Masons. *she goes to them to check*
<Sera> * Lia seeming to be on some sort of effort to bridge the gap between guilds.
<DeathStar> 6* The masons agree to step off the ship, though they eye the NAGs suspiciousily as they do. Selene gives them a toothy smile
<DeathStar> 6* Then Selene steps onto the ship herself, and Sel with her, as well as two other female mages, a blonde 30 year old mage and a 16 year old mage
<Sera> (She was seeing if any wanted to stay / cooperate for the demon realm run)
<DeathStar> <Selene> There.
<DeathStar> (They're healers according to you - they'd be useful in a fighting run)
<DeathStar> *er, useless
<Sera> (I know, but Lia gives everyone a choice :) )
<Nyaomi> (Healers are far from useless in fighting >o>)
<DeathStar> (NAGs can do both)
<DeathStar> 6* The Masons move to the NAG's tower in the meantime
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Thank you for you aid and your sacrifices." *to the mason healers as they depart*
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok checks things over with Ailee
<DeathStar> 6* The masons are like fuck ya'll
<DeathStar> 6* And go to their place
<DeathStar> <Ailee> So. To the Demon Realm finally? *She sounds odd*
<DeathStar> 6* Selene moves down below deck with her little six year old sister and the other two mages
<Sera> * Lia makes a simple offer, for them to go if they like or work in the cooperation effort. She then nods to Ailee.
<DeathStar> 6* Lyn and Maka sitn ear Belit since she flies down
<kalonZombie> <Narok> Yes.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves to take a seat at the front of the airship as she has in recent days*
<Aqua> *Bel readies takeoff
<DeathStar> <Ailee> *lets out a breath*
<DeathStar> <Ailee> I am not looking forward to this
<DeathStar> <Lyn> I suppose we should decide how we want to go about trying to find the leyline
<DeathStar> <Lyn> We know the others will be attacking, which will provide us some cover, but this can take weeks to discover
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We are rushing for the frontline of a brewing war. Only the foolish and the mad would look forward to such things."
<Sera> Lia> Quietly, though the others will likely be launching their attack soon.
<DeathStar> <Lin> *pushes fingers together* We can't ask the local populace?
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee pulls out a map she has drawn of the upper level, based on the group's journey through it last time - and what little she knows
<DeathStar> <Ailee> What are the chances the leyline is on the upper level?
<kalonZombie> <Narok> Little to none at all.
<Sera> Lia> "Low, a lot of countries try to build a capital close to their leylines, at least a bigger one."
<DeathStar> 6* Lyn glanes at the map quietly
<Sera> Lia> "But there's usually multiple veins."
<DeathStar> <Lyn> Two of those towers in the demon realm
<DeathStar> <Ailee> Yes. Me and Finn noticed them in our travels
<DeathStar> <Ailee> There's a third in the desert
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves over to look at the map* "And what else is in the desert?"
<Sera> Lia> "..." *she peers down* "We nearly lost ourselves going for them. As much as I desire ruins and to see these artifacts uncovered, I don't think I can press for them anymore."
<DeathStar> <Ailee> Nothing, just the tower
<DeathStar> <Ailee> Mountains keep it sealed off from the rest of the Realm
<DeathStar> <Ailee> Another is on the mountains
<DeathStar> <AileE> The only one that has demons in it is the southern tip one
<Sera> Lia> "So that also seems to be the order of risk running into anyone else."
<DeathStar> 6* Lyn is thinking as she drinks
<DeathStar> <Lyn> Well, we have a problem either way
<DeathStar> 6* Lin hugs onto Jubei
<DeathStar> <Lyn> The only way down into the ruins is through the false capital
<DeathStar> *er, not ruins, True Realm
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei rubs Lin's back
<DeathStar> <Lyn> So unless we find a back door, we have to abandon the ship and go through one of the most highly defended cities
<kalonZombie> <Narok> Not an ideal prospect.
<Sera> Lia> "We could try taking the same back door the others are taking."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Risks there too."
<Sera> Lia> "Or hope there's another place with a Dark Leyline."
<DeathStar> <Lyn> We don't need to - we're flying over the mountains that protect
<DeathStar> <Lyn> The entire realm
<DeathStar> <Lyn> I'm talking about getting into the TRUE realm
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> The underground
<Sera> * Lia nods and frowns. "Right... do we have any clues...?"
<DeathStar> <Ailee> *shakes her heaD*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Unlikely they would have only one gate. The land itself may betray them... natural caverns and the like."
<DeathStar> <Ailee> I don't.
<Sera> Lia> "We also still haven't visited the Sky People's city... I wonder if they've seen one from above."
<DeathStar> <Ailee> Publicly, Abyss is the only way in
<DeathStar> <Ailee> So unless the ruins hold something, or there's something on this map we arne't seeing
<Sera> Lia> "No way the Cadre would really bottleneck themselves with a single entrance..."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "It may even be hidden in plain sight."
<Sera> LIa> "I guess we check out some of the ruins above?"
<Sera> * Lia frowns and peers at the maps.
<DeathStar> <Ailee> you want to go to the Sky People? I'm fine with that. *her eleven ears twitch*
<DeathStar> 6* Clearly not wanting to go to the Demon Realm
<DeathStar> <Lyn> I doubt they know a way in
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> They mind their own
<DeathStar> <Ailee> You said they invited you to their capital
<DeathStar> <Ailee> It would be rude
<Sera> Lia> "Do the ruins correlate with any of the locations below?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We really are acting without intelligence here. Going through Abyss would be suicide."
<DeathStar> <AileE> I was never in the True Realm.
<DeathStar> <Ailee> But based on waht you all said of it
<Sera> * Lia takes their rouch sketch of below and lays it over the demon realm map.
<DeathStar> <Ailee> The southern tip would not be connected, nor the desert
<DeathStar> <Ailee> Possiblely even the mountain one, but it's hard to say.
<Aqua> *Bel hovers, looking over the map a bit
<Sera> * Lia quickly redraws them, trying to match approximations of size, using the Abyss gate as a means of finding a common point.
<Sera> Lia> "This is of course working with what those who went remember... it'd have been useful if I'd been there but..."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I was not there either."
<DeathStar> 6* Likely all the Ruins don't match up, but if any would it would be the mountain one
<DeathStar> 6* Based on size PREDICTIONs
<DeathStar> 6* But it's a big gamble
<Sera> Lia> "So... given my very rough approximation, we MIGHT find something at the mountain ruin."
<Sera> Lia> "No promises, but we seem to lack any other decent leads besides having to storm what might be impossible wihtout say, the armies that are going to be attacking soon."
<DeathStar> <Ailee> So no sky people...?
<kalonZombie> <Narok> Apparently not, Ailee.
<Aqua> Bel> We can do that first.
<Sera> Lia> "I suppose, let's head up there first and then we can come down. We intiially said we'd come back after the Holy Leyline, but we didn't."
<Aqua> *Bel flies for the SKY CITY
<DeathStar> <Maka> Whee!
<DeathStar> 6* As they geth igher and higher, they begin to come up to the cloads
<Sera> Lia> "Ready for the cloak."
<DeathStar> 6* When they hear a ROAR
<Sera> * Lia moves over to it and gets it ready, pouring mana into it. "Little help."
<DeathStar> 6* Lyn focuses her mystifae to the wind mana stystal
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Its that giant serpent queen again!"
<kalonZombie> <Narok> Who else hears that?
<Aqua> *Bel reels
<DeathStar> 6* Selene comes up and focses her magik, havihn sensed Lia's need
<DeathStar> 6* Sel runs up to see
<DeathStar> 6* Lin hides, tail out
<Aqua> *Bel flies for the city as fast as she can
<DeathStar> 6* The Leviathan begins to come near in 5
<DeathStar> 4
<Sera> Lia> *nods her thanks since her companions are too busy reeling and reacting to act, she starts activating the cloak*
<DeathStar> 6* One more person needed for the device
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Do it!"
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<Sera> Lia> "GET OVER HERE AND USE MANA."
<Jackieness> <Moira> *runs to Myst charge it*
<DeathStar> 6* The two mysts equal one mana user and it works
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei eyes the Leviathan, holding out her hand and observing its mana properties
<DeathStar> 6* The Leviathan flies by them, not seeing them. Sel grabs a rock and looks ready to throw it - wanting to aggro it to grab the loot and emblem on it
<Aqua> *Bel slows a bit, sighing in relief
<Sera> Lia> "Sel. No."
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok glares at Sel
<DeathStar> 6* It has Wind, Dark, and Fire
<DeathStar> 6* Sel pouts. Selene focuses her mana, not letting up
<Aqua> *Bel debates it
<Sera> * Lia keeps her focus. "Bring us up."
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead is the biggest island
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Th-Three mana sources..!?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Two mystifae adepts to make one points of mana..."
<Aqua> *Bel moves into land
<DeathStar> 6* They land and Leviathan moves on
<DeathStar> 6* The Sky monks move over, studying them as they move down.
<DeathStar> <Sky Monk> Your souls seem darker since you left
<Sera> * Lia lets up when they're clear and sighs, ear flicking.
<Sera> Lia> "We've faced some bad times, but we're trying to keep moving with the winds. We have one more Leyline to visit, but it's become problematic."
<Aqua> *Bel climbs down "The dark one."
<Sera> Lia> "We need to find a Dark Leyline to complete filling the sword. We have an extra slot of Holy energy to expel as well."
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok moves with Bel
<DeathStar> <Sky Mon> I meant more your souls.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We did something stupid."
<DeathStar> <Sky Monk> But I see; I'm afraid we have not been able to get into the leylines of the Demon Realm to check it for the corruptioon that has been going on and the draining. But fortunately Asmodeus had always been aware of it and kept a tight leash on their supply
<DeathStar> <Sky Monk> With his death though...
<Sera> Lia> "Our map the the realm is... sketchy at best. We're trying to find a way into the True Demon Realm below."
<DeathStar> <Sky Monk> I see. I am afraid I cannot help you there, but perhaps the Wind Champion could give you SOME aid in that
<DeathStar> <Sky Monk> If you can defeat him
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Wind Champion?"
<Sera> Lia> "Wind Champion?"
<kalonZombie> <Narok> Would it be that large dragonqueen out there?
<DeathStar> <Sky Monk> The person most in tune woith the wind. It will be another battle that will push you to the brink - if you lose you will never be allowed here again
<DeathStar> <Sky Monk> Do you wish to challenge him and his sister?
<DeathStar> 6* Lyn peers at the others
<Aqua> Bel> Eh, why notn
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Why 'and his sister?'
<Sera> Lia> "I don't suppose asking nicely is in the option pool..." *she looks at the rest* "Whatever we do, we need to work together, as a group for this."
<DeathStar> 6* Around them they can see greece like temples and people moving around in white cloths, men shaved, and their mixture of genetics, women having white hair, flowing with power and pureness. There's some traits of elven and bunper and azuha, but they seem almost bred to be a new race here
<DeathStar> 6* The Sky Monk whistlers. You shall see."
<Sera> * Lia blinks. "You're a creole race?"
<DeathStar> 6* Two people walk forward, a handsome man with white hair, not bald like the rest, cut short, looking to be 25 so years of age, muscled and wearing a thin white shirt, and his twin sister, her long white hair going down to her ass.
<DeathStar> 6* They move along, and between them is Anima T
<kalonZombie> <Narok> Interesting.
<Sera> Lia> "Th-That's Kaelan's Anima...!'
<Aqua> *Bel bites her lip slightly
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Was it supposed to be here?"
<Sera> Lia> "Anima T... suspected to be Dragoon Tabetha, it's a Wind Element that can create weapons and form wings."
<DeathStar> <Sky Monk> What is a person's belonging if it is their's for less than a span of a cycle, then another's for 400?
<Sera> Lia> "It was said to be lost falling back to Tareh, obviously that's because it never landed on the surface."
<DeathStar> 6* The twins stop before them
<DeathStar> 6* He moves to step away and the male twin grins cockily a little, while the woman looks serene
<Sera> Lia> "Well in the case of an Anima, that's up to the Anima. They're living things."
<DeathStar> <Man> I hate to have to hurt you all. Surrender now
<DeathStar> <Ailee> Hph.
<DeathStar> 6* Maka yees
<DeathStar> 6* Selene and the NAG mages glance at each other.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I didn't figure the champion of this place to be arrogant.
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok eyes it
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I like her better. The true warrior respects his enemy, no matter hoe great or small."
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Good words.
<Sera> Lia> "I'm taking it the challenge here isn't to just surrender."
<Aqua> Bel> <He can hurt me all he wants>
<DeathStar> <Male> I was just trying to be nice.
<Aqua> Bel> Ha, like we would ever surrender.
<Sera> Lia> <Remember, we need to work together. Coordinate your attacks if we actually fight."
<Sera> >
<DeathStar> <Male> Well, lets do it, Tae. <Tae> ...
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I don't wish to fight unnecessarily, but if this is the way of your people, I have no choice.
<DeathStar> 6* He slides his hands into the anima and forms into T and she leaps onto the shoulders, focused as T flies up with it's wings
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei draws both of her blades and crosses her arms, entering a stance with the blades.
<Aqua> *Bel shoots webbing at it's joints
<DeathStar> 6* Then T fires a devastating ultimate energy blast down at the others
<DeathStar> 6* Tae uses wind magik to slice the webbing
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok tries to leap out of the way
<Sera> Lia> *Raises a shield above them, grabbing Maka as she moves out of the way.
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee throws herself to the side
<DeathStar> 6* Lyn rolls away
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei uses her speed and a wind jump to leap to the side herself.
<Aqua> *Bel rushes away, shooting webbing at it's wings
<kalonZombie> 6*Then shoots darkness at it's wing joints
<DeathStar> 6* Selene and the NAG matches stay out of this one
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves to evade the blast*
<Sera> Lia> "It glides, not flies, change it's winds and it'll have trouble, it's maw has an opening to the cockpit."
<DeathStar> 6* Tae keeps using wind magik to deflect Bel's attacks, but Narok follows up so quickly darkness hits T.
<DeathStar> 6* Tae uses wind and makes it so T begins to fly up higher and then it spins and comes in like a die bomber
<DeathStar> 6* And it forms a bow, firinh arrows
<DeathStar> 6* Maka flees
<DeathStar> 6* Grabbing her sword
<Aqua> *Bel throws a knife, aiming at a weak spot
<DeathStar> 6* Lyn rushes along
<DeathStar> 6* Tae reflects the knife
<Sera> * Lia frowns and flees with her, grabbing her orb in her satchel, adn creates Whirlwinds in the air in T's path.
<DeathStar> <Lyn> Tae is making it impossible
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei draws again and waits for it to get close to the ground in its dive, then springs and performs her arte
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok hmmms, running over to Moira "Throw me to it 6*He turns into a sword
<Sera> Lia> <You need to disable Tae.>
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee snarls and begins to vamp out
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Lightning Tigoar Blade!!" 6She strikes aiming to clash her blade against the anima-- it probably won't harm the inside, but aims to conduct the paralyzing electricity across it
<Sera> Lia> <Several people attacking at once will clear her defenses, I think.>
<Jackieness> <Moira> <Then focus on knocking out the wind user.> *grabs a hold of Narok and tosses him at Tae witha strong throw*
<DeathStar> 6* Tae aims at Jubei, and wind gusts her away
<DeathStar> 6* Though with Jubei being elemental wind it takes all she has - having to rip the ground up to manage it
<DeathStar> 6* Tae begins to pant
<Aqua> *Bel rushes in and casts slow magik 1 at T
<Sera> * Lia forms a cat paw of water and slams it towards Tae.
<kalonZombie> 6*When Narok gets close enough to Tae, he turns back into a human and uses tentacles to tie Tae up
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei cries slightly, but flips in the air and combines her blades, firing a pair of mana arrows at her before she lands, sliding with a ground, struggling to get back on her feet
<DeathStar> 6* Tae jerks as she's tangled up and hit by the cat paw of water, falling off; the mana arrows strike the T anima
<DeathStar> 6* T flies up, then ore kicks Maka at Lia
<DeathStar> 6* Even as Maka stabs it
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei pants, but since wind mana is stronger here, calls on it, charging up another more powerful arrow with Tae out of the way, nocking to aim at the Anima.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Steady...
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok throws darkness as quick as he can at the Anima
<Sera> * Lia squeaks and braces herself to grab Maka as she comes in, she summons a Chaos Water Dragon behind T on the opposite side and sends it at T.
<Aqua> *Bel throws knives rapidly
<DeathStar> 6* T is hit by the knives, auto repair going
<DeathStar> 6* It glides in at Belit and Narok, even as darness damages it
<Jackieness> <Moira> *runs over and tries to grab the fallen Tae into a sleeper hold to keep her out of the battle*
<DeathStar> 6* Pieces of ore falling off
<Sera> * Lia focuses the Water Dragon's Lashing attacks to aim at the repair areas.
<DeathStar> 6* Tae struggles with the tentacles, when Moira does that
<DeathStar> 6* Falling over
<Aqua> *Bel rushes in and slashes at T
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok waits until the last second, still flinging darkness, then turns into a sword right before impact
<Sera> Lia> "Now... HUG OF DOOM!" *The Water Dragon tries grappling T, it's waters lashing violently.
<DeathStar> 6* T does a wind spin and knocks everyone near it away, toward the edge of the island
<DeathStar> 6* SPlashing the water dragon toward Jubei
<Aqua> *Bel attepts to use the spider to keep her footing
<Sera> * Lia squeaks, the dragon dissappating as she uses a counter gust behind herself and maka, and otehrs near them to stop their flight.
<DeathStar> 6* Lyn lands on it behind and smashes it a few times to weaken the armor near the cock pit when she's thrown off and hits hard
<DeathStar> 6* Bel sticks
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei waits until it's done spinning, then fires the mana arrow for T, separating the bow and focuses her mana, trying to cut the dragon in half with a wind slash
<Aqua> *Bel slashes and stabs rapidly
<Sera> * Lia uses the Wind Orbs Wind Slash abilitiy, aiming the slash towards the cockpit.
<Aqua> (Swashbuckling, Flurry
<DeathStar> 6* Anima T begins to explode from the rapid damage
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok forms back into a human, looking up at T
<DeathStar> 6* The man falls out and lands, the gauntlet falling off
<Sera> * Lia TKs the gauntlet to herself.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Do you yield, champions?!"
<Aqua> *Bel helps him up
<DeathStar> 6* The man groans, holding his head. "So strong..."
<DeathStar> <Man> I see I, Con, I have much to learn of warriors.
<DeathStar> 6* Tae lays there, choked out
<Jackieness> <Moira> *releases Tae now*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "She might have a sore throat."
<Sera> * Lia puts on the gaunlet but doesn't activate it, she quietly communicates with i before moving over to Tae and checking her over.
<DeathStar> 6* Sky Monk returns and revives Tae and she blinks and sits up, peering around to see they are defeated, her gray eyes blionking once and stands
<DeathStar> <Sky Monk> She is mute anyway. IT will not matter.
<Sera> Lia> "...Did you say these two are 400 years old?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee finishes feeding on one of the NAG mages and turns, ready to do battle then sighs
<kalonZombie> <Narok> You fought well. 6*He tells Con
<DeathStar> <Sky Monk> No, I said it has been with us for 400 years, passing from champion to champion
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yes because that totally wasn't 400 years worth of experience."
<DeathStar> 6* Tae is quiet
<Sera> * Lia nods. "I see..." *she looks at T* "Do you wish it back? I know the one who originally won her alliegance would like to see it again. Especially with what's coming."
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei sheathes her weapons and brings her hands up, bowing to Tae in respect
<DeathStar> 6* He says nothing more. "As I said, we do not know a way, but an ANima may help you - let the Wind guide you."
<DeathStar> 6* Tae thrusts her fist up to Jubei's nose as if to smash it, then stops and bows
<Sera> Lia> "Well then... T... it seems you're coming with me until I can take you back to Kaelan."
<Sera> Lia> "And take Dakota back from the one who stole him from me..."
<DeathStar> 6* Con moves up the ship ramp
<DeathStar> 6* Tae turns to eye him. <Con> Come on, Tae.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Let's be off then." *moves for the ship*
<DeathStar> 6 *Tae pauses, then follows
<Sera> Lia> "Seesms we've gained the Champions as well."
<Sera> * Lia checks on Maka and heals her wounds, keeping T on.
<DeathStar> <Con> I have to get strong enouigh to get the Wind Guardian back
<DeathStar> <Ailee> So ... back to The Demon Realm again
<kalonZombie> <Narok> Yes.
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok rubs her back
<Sera> Lia> "Mmm, if you can, I'll teach you to use her better."
<DeathStar> <Lyn> Look at this way - with an Anima we have a chance at busting in through Abyssn ow
<DeathStar> <Con> Hm.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You have learned that your are not invincible. Knowing your limitations lets you become sgtronger."
<DeathStar> 6* He moves and looks for things to do. Selene studies the man and follows, perhaps to see if he is a mage
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei peers at Tae curiously, then sits with her journal on the ship-- sketching the Leviathan
<DeathStar> 6* Or potiential
<DeathStar> 6 *Tae climbs the crow's nest
<Sera> * Lia holds up the gauntleted hand, since a lot of her skills work outside the base attuned Anima, it would be showing faster recovery. She whispers to it happily.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Jeanole (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stares at Future Jean and Umi who pulled her aside privately after the others were leaving before. She looks around, since Leruste is inside with the baby still, then at them. "That is a lot to lay on me like that. I mean, you want me to betray Jean's trust to get you inside the palace and not tell her about you."
<DeathStar> <Future Jean> Yes.
<Chain> 6*F.Umi looks at Rachael
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And you want me to trust you on all this when you don't completely remember why you came back in the past to change everything in the first place.
<DeathStar> <Future Jean> That is correct.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You realize how completely sketchy this sounds
<Chain> 6*Umi holds her pups
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael glances down at the pups and Vixen the fox
<Chain> <Umi> this is Puggy, Tanan, Jynx and Vixen....theyre my babies
<DeathStar> 6* Vixen yawns sleepily
<Chain> <Umi> everyday we struggle with the idea that Vixen and then her siblings will cease to be
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... *Thinks of Nephilim and rubs the back of her head* .... low blow ... *She mumbles* You better be legit and our Jean too trying to help -- yourself
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Alright, wait here. I'll be right back
<Chain> <Umi> cant you understand our torment? if you looked at your own baby started to fade away
<Chain> 6*Umi nods
<Chain> <Umi> thank you
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks around and moves inside, hiding her thoughts in the mark like a clamped seal
<DeathStar> 6* Jean watches her go, hugging Umi and the cubs
<kalonZombie> 6*Tanan looks as dignified as he can being hugged
<Chain> 6*Umi nuzzles her pups
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael returns a moment later with Enforcer clothing that includes hoods and hands it to them
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The Enforcers have a lot of leeway. Here; I borrowed it from Melissa's room since she jsut left
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Try it on - it should fit you
<Chain> 6*Umi nods and hands her pups to Rachel to hold while she changes
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Remember to wear the hood down. 6* She holds them
<Chain> 6*Jynx wags and licks at Rachael
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll lead you to Melissa's room - it's in the same area as me, Jean, and the other's - so you might have to becareful of being seen, you'll be in the thick of it
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Plus, no offense Umi - you could pass for the Umi inside
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So you might make the better spy
<Chain> 6*Jynx chews on Rachael's clothes
<DeathStar> 6* Future Jean dresses, while Rachael nuzzles
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hey cutie
<kalonZombie> 6*Tanan looks up at Rachael
<Chain> 6*Jynx barks cutely and licks Rachael more
<Chain> 6*Umi finishes changing
<Aqua> *Puggy wears his adorable puppy cloak
<DeathStar> 6* Future Jean checks to see the Enforcers have satchels for things and puts two of the kids in her's and lets Umi take the other three
<DeathStar> 6* Putting Vixen and Jynx in her's
<Chain> 6*Umi puts Tanan and Puggy in her satchels
<Chain> <Umi> say see you soon to Aunty Rachael
<Chain> 6*Jynx does a cute howl
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Good luck you guys
<Aqua> Puggy> Oof!
<kalonZombie> 6*Tanan gives a nod
<DeathStar> 6* Future Jean walks into the side area, cloak down, and passes Leruste in the kitchen weasling for food with Truth
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael meanwhile goes around the front to meet them in the residentual area to show them which room
<Chain> 6*Umi pulls her hood down and follows
<Sera> * Truth looks cute trying to get fruit.
<DeathStar> 6* The kitchen staff gives Truth all the fruit she wants
<kalonZombie> 6*Leruste uses Neph's adorableness for food
<Sera> * Truth stockpiles, munching on one as she starts walking out, humming. "Fruit always cheers Truth up, maybe will make Jean happy."
<Nyaomi> <Ajan> L-Lady Truth, have mercy on our fruit stores
<DeathStar> 6* The kitchen staff gives Leruste whatever food he wants. Future Jean glances at the two as they walk by and into the hallway
<DeathStar> 6* Libel uses Leruste and Truth to get food
<DeathStar> <Libel> See the cuture followers? See them? Give meat now
<Nyaomi> 6Auna chops Libel
<DeathStar> 6* Libel's soul floats out and she has to be carried out to the departing ship
<Chain> 6*Jynx eyes meat
<Sera> Truth> "Sister deserves fruit."
<DeathStar> 6* To leaving on time with the others
<Nyaomi> 6Auna jerks and picks Libel up, hurrying out
<DeathStar> 6* Jean grabs some on her way out
<DeathStar> 6* Putting it in the satchel, moving for the hallway of VIPs.
<Chain> 6*Umi does the same
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, Aurica is doing some readings over the paperwork that Butler got, and she glances up at a ragged form of a girl in the rafter work, peering down at them; Parita.
<Sera> Truth> "Meatfruit... must look into that for Libel."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Sounds weird.
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Hm... with what we found on the Spear and ROse already..
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica walks past the two without looking up
<Sera> Truth> "All we do is plant a cowmoo, it becomes a meatfruit tree!"
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I don't think that's how it works
<Sera> * Truth blinks and falls into step, "What Auri find?"
<DeathStar> 6* Future Jean looks at her a little, slowing as if remembering something, but continuing to the hallway. As they begin to get near, Jean walks back in from her date with Umi
<DeathStar> <Jean> Mm mmm mmm mmm
<Chain> 6*Jynx tenses, smelling another dog as they pass Aurica
<DeathStar> 6* Future Jean peers at her other self, quietly, studying her. Jean smiles, but Future Jean studies her as they pass. Empress Jean slows and glances at the two of them as they go by
<DeathStar> 6* Looking hard at her other self
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hm, does Jean know you?
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Just little things. When I've made more sense of it I'll call a meeting
<Sera> Truth> Can Truth help?
<DeathStar> <Future Jean> Just another worker for the world
<DeathStar> <Jean> *nods* Keep working hard, please!
<DeathStar> 6* Future Jean nods and Jean moves on; she enters the hallway Jean, Truth, Leruste and others work on and RAchael is there
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You made it? Good
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael hurries along toward Melissa's room and opens it. "This room. Melissa will be in the Demon Realm for who knows how long."
<Chain> 6*Umi nods and enters
<DeathStar> <Aurica> I don't know - are you smart enough?
<DeathStar> 6* Future Jean steps in and sets the kids down on the bed with their meat
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I'm smarter then I let on. Does that count?
<Sera> Truth> "Truth was the one who figured out Gemane was Lilica."
<Sera> Truth> *leans in and whispers* "Truth mostly is playful, but is secretly a smarty pants."
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Yeah, a day late and an Anima short.
<Chain> 6*Jynx growls a little smelling Broney still but eats
<DeathStar> <Aurica> But alrighit
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael pats the two
<Sera> * Truth pouts. "Others didn't figure it out.."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Becareful
<Aqua> *Butler looks over the papers
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael moves out and Future Jean sits, sliding the armor off
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hey Nephy, wanna go help Auntie Aurica find stuff out?
<Aqua> *Puggy bounds about the rub
<DeathStar> <Future Jean> My other self - her smiles don't reach her eyes. And there's something about her.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be timelines and diary entries
<Chain> <Umi> perhaps she has hardened herself
<DeathStar> <Future Jean> Maybe...it will be a shame if so
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 3.9.2863
<DeathStar> Location: Nymph Port
<DeathStar> 6* The Demon Realm Group, though with a flying ship now doesn't need to enter this way, flies over the port city of the Nymphs, hidden in a mountain acolve by the ocean's south east area. On the other side is a river they use to swim into the demon realm. A massive fleet has formed there below them; Cersei looks down, musing
<Sera> Kaelan> "Talk about an army..."
<Jackieness> <Asha> *guides the airship from the wheel* "I've actually gotten pretty decent at this."
<DeathStar> 6* Libel chews on some food, peering down; Melissa nods slowly
<DeathStar> <Genvere> Do we go on ahead of them or wait for them to work their way up the river?
<DeathStar> 6* The fleet bombs the mountain range, workingo n making a permenant passage without hurting the city
<Sera> Kaelan> "Scouting might not hurt. Know what we're facing."
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi studies the controls
<DeathStar> <Mimi> With the settings the templars put, we can drill into the ground it seems
<DeathStar> <Mimi> I wonder if we can drill all the way to the Demon Realm
<Sera> Kaelan> "From what I remember, it's a thick crust."
<DeathStar> <Cersei> Perhaps if we picked a weak pooint
<DeathStar> 6* She studies the map
<Sera> Kaelan> "DId our encounter before cause any damage to the "ceiling"?
<DeathStar> <Cersei> Like near a river or the body of water
<kalonZombie> <Sal> ...If we scout I'm gonna be stuck doing that, aren't I?
<DeathStar> <Cersei> I do not know - I was not here
<DeathStar> <Mimi> I do not think it did
<Nyaomi> <Wyrd> A natural cavern?
<Jackieness> <Asha> "I was here... these demonesses were out to assassinate me the entire time."
<Sera> * Kaelan peers over the maps. "I'm not sure if the pillar caused that much damage above... but water does tend to mean caverns."
<DeathStar> <CErsei> We could try drilling into the lake, near the lake, near a river
<DeathStar> <Cersei> What will it be, Captain Asha?
<DeathStar> 6* Fate, hearing that, climbs up from the side and tries to sneak into the cabinsw
<DeathStar> 6* Not about to get flushed away
<Jackieness> <Asha> "Near the lake."
<DeathStar> <Cersei> Then take us in
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei sits down
<DeathStar> <Cersei> Someone construct a shield of magik or energyh around the ship for protection
<DeathStar> 6* The templars on board kneel and begin to pray
<DeathStar> 6* Chanting to Jean and holy energy begins to form like a ball
<Jackieness> <Asha> *moves back behind the wheel* "All hands! Secure yourselves and brace for impact!"
<Sera> * Kaelan holds out a hand and helps fuel it with Holy ANgel Magik
<Jackieness> <Asha> "Beginning run now!" *starts to bring the ship downward toward the shore of the lake, fore first*
<kalonZombie> 6*Sal grabs onto something
<DeathStar> 6* Melissa turtns on the drill and moves it to the funder side so Asha can just ram downwards
<DeathStar> 6* With it tilted toward the fore front
<DeathStar> 6* The drill begins to dig into the ground, chugging away, chug chug chug
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* The other group meanwhile arrives over the Abyss False Capital; the fleet meanwhile has been working their way in through the Nymph Port and the city below loosk guarded to the teeth, thanks to the vampire Cabal leader
<DeathStar> 6*B ut none think to look up
<Sera> Lia> "So... strategies? We have an element of surprise."
<Jackieness> <Moira> *look over at the Wind Champion Con*
<DeathStar> <Con> I say we use Anima T and leap sdown
<DeathStar> <COn> And attack! And with the ship!
<DeathStar> <Tae> ...
<Sera> * LIa nods. "That's a good part of it... the mages with us can bomb from above on the ship too. Though we don't want to lose the ship in the attack if possible."
<DeathStar> <Selene> I and my mages could rain down fire and death on them
<Sera> * Lia smiles at Selene.
* Aqua has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<kalonZombie> <Narok> I could turn into a bear and eat some.
* Aqua has joined #Session431
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Seems we have a lot of aggressive members aboard this ship.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Ahem! Did you not find allies here in the past?"
<Sera> Lia> "Alright, T can also be used as a transport down. After we strike, the surprise is over, but this place looks pretty heavily guarded, so the initial attack will really, really have to count."
<DeathStar> <Ailee> *is eyeing the others, looking feral*
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> What about a sleep mist?
<Sera> Lia> "Sleep mist...?"
<DeathStar> <Ailee> Mass slaughter is how many treat demons
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> We have an elevated position and mages at our disposal, as well as many wind-gifted
<DeathStar> <Selene> They are demons. As are you
<DeathStar> 6 *Selene notes to Ailee
<DeathStar> <AileE> And you are a blood mage. Back off.
<DeathStar> <Selene> *Smiles softly*
<DeathStar> <Selene> Fair enough
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> If we release a spell from here and scatter it with wind we could put the entire mass to sleep harmlessly.
<Sera> Lia> "Do we have such a spell?"
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> No need to sort out good from bad if we don't kill them.
<Aqua> Bel> If it can be avoided we should.
<Sera> Lia> "This sounds better to me than mass destruction."
<DeathStar> <Selene> We do not typically practice such spells
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> But you do practice them
<DeathStar> <Selene> It has been a long time. <Sel> I know it!
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Even if atypically?
<DeathStar> <Selene> *glances at Sel* It would seem our littl one here remembers it
<Sera> Lia> "then Sel can teach it to us, and we'll cast and send it down."
<DeathStar> <Sel> I'll do it for your agreement to be my bitches for a month
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I'm not surprised-- it is a spell one teaches the young for self defense in the wild-- as it can be used to put monsters to sleep.
<DeathStar> 6* Selene whacks her head
<DeathStar> <Selene> Do not tempt me to teach you other things
<DeathStar> <Sel> O-Ow..f-fine..
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> With more powerful spells at their disposal, most older mages forget it.
<DeathStar> 6* Tae eyes the ground, then her brother, then back
<DeathStar> 6* Sel begins to teach the other mages
<Sera> Lia> "Between our Wind Orb and the amount of people who know gust spells here, we should be able to scatter it nicely."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> What's wrong, Ms. Tae?
<DeathStar> 6* With the group having find a non-violent way, for once - surprisingly, the city below is hit by a sleep spell with a gust spell. SOon it scatters over the fortress city of Abyss - you can find it in the cities page if you are crious to remember what it loos like it
<DeathStar> 6* As they ship lands, Lyn takes the lead, with COn and Tae going with her
<DeathStar> 6* MAka wanders curiously, Selene and Sel with her.
<Jackieness> <Asha> *looks about and tries to remember the way*
<DeathStar> 6* Most demons are out, though likely a few are lurking - the compact small size of the city makes it feel clausphobic.
<Sera> * Lia keeps Maka close as she peers around, she grips her staff firmly.
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee looks feral still, teeth showing and her eyes red, silver hair blowing as she walks along. "The heavy hitters are missing - they will counter attack if we do not move - quickly."
<DeathStar> <Ailee> Fall behind and die.
<DeathStar> 6* She moves for the mansion up ahead and kicks in the door with her foot, splintering it; inside, the vampire maids eye them and tremble
<DeathStar> <Vampire Maid> D-Do not mind us
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok moves alongside Ailee
<Jackieness> <Asha> "Come on then." *moves after Ailee*
<Sera> * Lia nods and starts moving quickly. She nods and ignores them for now.
<DeathStar> 6* Selene eyes the vampires, sneering, and walks along. Sel waves and skips as AIlee moves to the back of the room which looks like a sitting room with seats and cahirs and sits down
<Aqua> *Bel moves with Ailee, cutlass ready
<DeathStar> 6* There's a mirror on the wall, and one gets the feeling that normally someone else loosk through it. Ailee eyes it
<DeathStar> <Ailee> Send us down or die
<Sera> * Lia moves in and peers around. "This thing have controls?"
<DeathStar> 6* As they all move in, the area jerks and the room begins to descend
<DeathStar> 6* The walls moving, the only indication
<Jackieness> <Asha> "I had a dream like this once... I was going down..."
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok looks up
<DeathStar> 6* The ceiling looks the same as ever
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Ugh... still makes me nauseous
<DeathStar> 6* Soon, it stops after several minutes, the room looking just the same - if the walls didn't move a little it would have been impossible to know it moved
<DeathStar> 6* Even the paintings and pictures at the bottom are the same
<Sera> * Lia breathes. "Are we all the way down?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee opens the door and they are in the same mansion as before it seems like
<DeathStar> 6* The maids there turn and eye them in surprise and AIlee smashes one with a kick
<Jackieness> <Asha> "Mmm... yeah. A bit of dramatic effect."
<Sera> Lia> "Surprised, they're new."
<Sera> * Lia frowns. "I suppose we need to keep moving quickly then."
<DeathStar> 6* Ahnd Selene casts fire to drive them away. As they step out, they see they are in the same type of city as above, but are now underground, with a cavern type ceiling hundreds and hundreds of meters above, and the rank darkness of oppression in the air. Con and Tae reelo
<DeathStar> 6* The entire city has awake demons, another indication they are in a new Abyss
<Sera> Lia> "Seem about right."
<kalonZombie> <Narok> Quaint.
<Jackieness> <Asha> "Welcome to the true Abyss."
<DeathStar> <Con> Form T now - let us fly out of here
<Sera> Lia> *she nods and forms T*
<Aqua> *Bel rubs her head
<kalonZombie> <Narok> You expect to get stronger and yet run away from a challenge?
<Sera> * Lia shifts of course to not crush anyone, then lowers a hand. <Hurry on.>
<DeathStar> <Con> We are in tight quarters - with hundred and hundreds
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Our mission is merely the mana, Narok.
<DeathStar> <Con> I am not stupid
<Aqua> Bel> You need to survive to get stronger. *Bel clings with the spider
<DeathStar> 6* Con, Tae, Ailee, with reluctance, Maka, Selene and her mages, Sel, and so on geto n
<DeathStar> 6* Dozens of ogres, oni, and other high level demons rush at them, weapons drawn
<DeathStar> 6* An army
<Jackieness> <Moira> *climbs on as well*
<Sera> * Lia begins to nab anyone busy posing instead of getting on or idling with her other hand, then forms wings and uses her Wind Magik to gust boost them up and fly.
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok would have gotten on willingly
<DeathStar> 6* The demons fire attacks at them in the air and due to the sheer number, T takes damage and begins to spin out of control, outside Abyss - as they come crashing down, they see:
<Sera> * Lia does her best to make the crash as pleasent as possible, shielding T as she comes in. <Hold on!>
<DeathStar> 6* That the land scape is filled with dark ground, and tentacle like things rising up from it, and leeking dark mana like oozing coming from it - not the leyline, but a corrupted like thing. not the corruption Asmodeus and the Sky PEople warned, but the byproduct of the Dark leyline
<DeathStar> 6* They smash hard on the road outside the city, near a Demon caravan that turns and begins to try to ride away
<Sera> Lia> <We need to catch a ride.>
<Jackieness> <Moira> <Then act before that mass swarms us.>
<Aqua> Bel> Lia, we've got to be near it
<DeathStar> 6* The caravan begins to get further and further away
<Sera> * Lia inwardly growls at more calls to act instead of people doing something, and moves T as best she can, since it cashed, after it.
<Aqua> Bel> Can you or Jubei feel the right way?
<DeathStar> 6* T, with massive damage, begins to move slowly
<DeathStar> 6* From Abyss, Demons begin to come out
<Sera> Lia> <You all realize I can't move fast now right? Do something.>
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee leaps and runs after it
<Aqua> *Bel unsticks her herself and webs at the Demons
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Then to our feet!"
<DeathStar> 6* using her vmapire speed
<Sera> * Lia opens her hands to let them down.
<Aqua> *Bel follows
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok follows as well
<DeathStar> 6* Tae uses her wind magik to throw herself after the caravan, gliding like a gale girl
<Jackieness> <Moira> *leaps down and starts running after the caravan*
<DeathStar> 6* The army of demons have webs thrown at them - but keep coming. Big numbrs
<DeathStar> 6* Lyn rides on Moira
<Sera> * Lia gives the others a Gale Burst boost towards it and deforms T, wind gusting herself and Maka after the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Selene carries her sister
<Aqua> *Bel attempts to use the water orb to slow them
<Sera> * Lia ispickpocketed again.
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee lands on the caravan and finds ogres inside it, which begin to pummel her, since she aws the fastest and reached it with the horses drawing it. She goes inside and begins to do battle
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei chases, drawing the Rune Blade.
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok tries to catch up to Ailee, wanting to help her
<DeathStar> 6* The water orbhits the demons and they slip and slide with what I assume was the water whirpool
<DeathStar> 6* Tae lands on top of it. Narok's speed is..
<Sera> Lia> "MOVE." *she sends a Chaos Water Dragon and a Chaos Fireball at the Demons as well.
<Sera> * Lia twists in the air and uses a gale burst to land when she gets close.
<DeathStar> 6* Narok clunks. He clunks along like a tank
<Aqua> *Bel rushes and jumps to sticl run onto the caravan
<Jackieness> <Moira> *continues to run to catch the caravan as fast as she can*
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok is slow and probably needs help moving.
<Sera> * Lia sent everyone forward with a burst of air before.
<DeathStar> 6* Lia's gale bursts FINALLY HELPS people reach it
<DeathStar> 6* Slamming them against the back of it
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee inside has killed two ogres and is feeding one on one, even as the other three are bashing her face in
<DeathStar> <AileE> you are unworthy
<Jackieness> <Moira> *grabs on and pulls herself inside*
<DeathStar> 6* She smashes one's head in with her foot
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok swipes at one of them
<DeathStar> 6* Inside is a blue demon that looks like Asmodeus, but is female with black hair. She is tied up and gagged
<DeathStar> 6* Ahnd looks to be 17
<Aqua> *Bel hops down at kicks out at ones crotch
<Jackieness> <Moira> *draws her two swords and then slashes at one of the ogres*
<Sera> * Lia launches a few more troubles for the demons chasing, bringing down whirlwinds with the Wind Orb before turning her attention to the caravan, making sure everyone made it.
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone makes it; and Belit kicks one in the crotch and Narok swipes the same, taking it out
<DeathStar> 6* The ogre falling off the remaining oner is slashed along it's body, roaring
<DeathStar> 6* And stumbles, trying to grab the hell horses in rage to kill them
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok tries to Kebab him in the heart
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee pants, laying there and healing slowly. Selene throws a fireball at it's side and Narok kebabs it and it falls, dead
<DeathStar> <Sel> Can we do that again?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Narok, take control of the horses!"
<DeathStar> 6* The demon forces are left behind, cursing them
<Aqua> Bel> Does anyone know to drive one of these?
<DeathStar> 6* The female demon stares at them, gagged
<Sera> * Lia nods and climnbs to the front, starting to work on taking control with her Horse Mastery
<DeathStar> 6* She shifts, showing her dark hair has silver in it, a lot, and she has wings
<DeathStar> 6* And has nice, toned female muscles
<DeathStar> 6* Without it being overboard
<Sera> Lia> "Well, if the demons had her captive, she might be an ally."
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok lets Lia take control of the hosrses since one of his disadvantages is distinctly that animals hate him
<DeathStar> 6* The demon hell horses are taken under control and move down the road
<DeathStar> 6* Passing over the bridge of lava already
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Ailee didn't tie her up?
<DeathStar> <Ailee> No
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee pops a broken bone in place with a sickening crunch
<Sera> * Lia mewls. "Want me to splint it Ailee?"
<Sera> Lia> "Jubei, see if you can feel out the leyline."
<DeathStar> <Ailee> I will be fine
<Aqua> *Bel moves to check the girl, ungaggong the girl
<DeathStar> 6* The female demon licks her lips, peering at Belit, and smiles; Belit would feel at ease around her immediately. <Demon Girl> Thank you, heroes
<Sera> Lia> "What kind of demon is she? She looks like Asmodeus was described."
<DeathStar> 6* Her dark black eyes peer at Lia
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Heroes is a bit flattering given we're hit and running here...
<DeathStar> <Female Demon> You said you are looking for the leyline?
<DeathStar> <Female Demon> I know where it is hidden
<Sera> Lia> "Yes. We're trying to secure them all."
<DeathStar> <Female Demon> I will take you there if you will help me
<Aqua> *Bel unties her "Sure!"
<Sera> Lia> "What help do you need?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "A favor for a favor then..."
<DeathStar> 6* She smiles at Belit goodnaturedly
<Sera> * Lia's ear flicks at Belit blindly agreeing.
<DeathStar> <Female Demon> I wish your help doing what heroes do best - destroying the Matrix with the combined powers of the Rune Blade you have there
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Same as last time... so you're one of the resistance.
<DeathStar> <Female> Malthus the Vampire has claimed control of the Demon Realm and is repairing it - and is nearly done
<Sera> Lia> "Would that sort of end all demons?"
<DeathStar> <Female> If you use the Rune Blade, you can wipe it out without it being so
<DeathStar> <Female> The sword can cause miracles if it has all the leylines in it
<Aqua> Bel> I like the cut of her gib.
<Sera> Lia> "We need to get the final element in the blade."
<DeathStar> <Female> And so I will lead you to it
<DeathStar> <Female> And y ou want to know about the corruption and the people draining it, right?
<DeathStar> <Female> The Matrix was tied into leanring about it
<DeathStar> <FEmale> It is win win, yeS?
<Sera> Lia> <Jubei... do you think this is what the mission was meant to lead to?>
<Jackieness> <Moira> "The conspiracy..."
<Sera> Lia> "I think so..."
<DeathStar> 6* She looks around, all of them feeling good feelings
<DeathStar> <Lyn> ... *she blinks and smirks at her*
<DeathStar> <Lyn> Heh
<DeathStar> 6* Maka yeees
<Sera> Lia> "...Are you charming us?"
<DeathStar> <Selene> ... *grimaces a little*
<DeathStar> <Female> Do forgive me, I can't stop that
<DeathStar> <Female> I have pheromones
<Sera> Lia> Explains why Asmodeus had the ruling seat."
<Aqua> Bel> Charming?
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok still looks grumpy. Is he grumpy even when happy?!
<DeathStar> <Female> I am certain you can take steps to counter them if they offend you
<Sera> Lia> "She's letting out a sort of smell that makes you horny and attracted to her."
<Aqua> Bel> Oh, like I do?
<Sera> Lia> "The Follower Seth Vimes used it a lot."
<Sera> Lia> "To sexually excite people before drinking their blood, according to Sia."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I remember Seth..."
<DeathStar> <Female> Eh.
<DeathStar> 6* She makes af ace at drinking blood
<DeathStar> <Female> I am not a bloood drinker
<DeathStar> 6* Ailee eyes her like she was put down
<Sera> Lia> "Tell me you prefer a good BLT sandwich?"
<DeathStar> <Female> I simply put out pheromones naturally
<DeathStar> <Female> So do we have an agreement?
<Sera> Lia> "Very well. You might be useful taking the ruling seat from vampire boy too."
<Aqua> Bel> Im fine with ut.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> It's difficult to agree without knowing much of the Matrix itself or its purpose
<DeathStar> <Female> T hen I will help you learn as we go on
<DeathStar> <Female> I am Deus.
<DeathStar> <Deus> IT is a pleasure
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> We did, after all, turn down a chance to destroy it on our last term here...
<DeathStar> 6* Asha's ship busts through near the lake and begins to zoom down quickly - right at a boiling lake of lava
<Sera> Kaelan> "PULL UP."
<Jackieness> <Asha> *pulls up*
<DeathStar> 6* The ship rightens
<DeathStar> 6* Fate rolls out and hits Wyrd in the back
<DeathStar> <Fate> Ow
<kalonZombie> <Sal> WhenIwakeuptherewillbeanattractivenakedRicanexttome... WhenIwakeuptherewillbeanattractivenakedRicanexttome... WhenIwakeuptherewillbeanattractivenakedRicanexttome...
<Sera> Kaelan> "Well, we're through... I think."
<Jackieness> <Asha> "Good thing we didn't do the lake... water would have made steam and we'd be cooked."
<Sera> Rica> "I'm next to you already."
<DeathStar> <Libel> Hi sis
<kalonZombie> <Sal> Are you naked?
<Sera> Rica> Nope.
<DeathStar> <Cersei> *finishes bracing herself* We are in. The army is busting through the Nymph tunnel - the templars are attacking the front gate
<kalonZombie> <Sal> STILL A NIGHTMARE I'M HAVING THEN AND I'M CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO THE DEMON REALM
<DeathStar> <Cersei> The question is now - what do we do down here
<Nyaomi> <Wyrd> Fate...
<DeathStar> <Cersei> Going straight to the capital will be suicide
<DeathStar> <Cersei> It may be best to explore
<DeathStar> <Cersei> And take the tempature of the popuilace
<DeathStar> <Cersei> And learn where Seraphim is being held
<Jackieness> <Asha> *looks over* "Hot. Its hot."
<DeathStar> <Fate> Uh, hi?
<Sera> Kaelan> "That it might." *she peers out, frowning, feeling a little, intending just to see how the Marked in the group are handling this*
<Aqua> *James rises, dusting himself off
<DeathStar> 6* So far so good. Melissa and Genvere see intriqued.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a forest down south
<DeathStar> 6* That looks less hot
<Jackieness> <Asha> "There. Over there." *brings the ship about and heads south*
<Sera> Kaelan> "Alright... let's head for those trees to get settled and figure out our next move."
<DeathStar> <Cersei> A good place to hide the ship too
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the ceiling and tentacles coming out of it
<Sera> Kaelan> "The Leyline seems to be running a bit more rampant than before."
<Jackieness> <Asha> *moves down and away from the tentacles as the cross over the forest* "Asmodeus may have been keeping it in chek somehow."
<Sera> Kaelan> "He was. We destroyed what was keeping it in check."
<Sera> Kaelan> "The other group will have to come here eventually... we should have coordinated better.
<kalonZombie> 6*Sal blinks "So you killed the one dude keeping this place from going completely bonkers?
<DeathStar> <Cersei> Well, if they are here, we can team up with them to defeat the vampire
<Jackieness> <Asha> "These guys are pretty destructive, actually."
<DeathStar> <Libel> Why not make the lady in Asmodeus' body rule here?
<Sera> * Kaelan nods, a high mark, she feels out for them curiously. "If they are here... should be able to sense them..."
<DeathStar> <Cersei> Because that would be cruel
<DeathStar> 6* KAelan would feel nothing but warpness and cruelty out there. And suffering
<DeathStar> -sCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Amatsune; Gemet
<DeathStar> 6* Aso Erevis, Ama, Tsuki, and so on arrive back home finally, having taken Jean's fastest ship
<DeathStar> 6* Aso Erevis carries Ama through the door, while Bridgette collapses on the floor tiredly
<DeathStar> 6* Zuzu leans forward to peer at them
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> Oh my
<Chain> 6*Hoko and Chain rise with their attendants
<Aqua> *Thomas helps Bridgette
<DeathStar> 6* Aso Erevis sets Ama down
<Chain> 6*Nilla helps
<Chain> <Nilla> had fun?
<Aqua> *Kagu waves
<DeathStar> 6* Aurora helps, Hill having the baby
<DeathStar> <Bridgette> Y-Yeah...
<DeathStar> <Aso Erevis> ... *looks around, quietly. Penis hard. Aimed in Mugi's direction*
<Chain> <Ama> Erevis
<Chain> 6*she crosses her arms
<Aqua> *Kagu has gained some weight and muscle back
<DeathStar> 6* Aso Erevis turns into her female form. Erevis loks at her
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Chain> <Ama> no aiming you penis at Mugi
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot help it; it getsh ard every 3 minutes
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No matter what I do
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<kalonZombie> 6*Thara covers it up with a spare kimono
<Chain> <Ama> you will train it
<kalonZombie> <Thara> Remind me to burn that one later, Tsuki.
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> I trust everything everything went well?
<DeathStar> <Tsuki> *nods*
* Jackieness has joined #Session431
<DeathStar> 6* Zun walks in, looking grim, as he adjusts his glasses
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> T-Train that thing...
<Chain> <Hoko> hey mom since youre back now I'm gonna run off and join Fi---oh no what bad news
<DeathStar> 6* Zuzu glances over at her son
<Chain> 6*Hoko looks at Zun as does Ama
<DeathStar> <Zun> You may need to join Finn, Hoko - and get their attention on this. Especially if reports of both teams being in the Demon Realm are true. The timing could not be more suspect.
<DeathStar> 6* Zun lays out a world map, and a map of their kingdom
<DeathStar> <Zun> Do you all know about male mages?
<Aqua> Thomas> Yes.
<Chain> 6*Hoko nods
<DeathStar> <Zun> It has been a crisis for years, that any male with the talent to use magik sooner or later will become tainted and go insane - we do not know why the source of magik has that taint. In fact, I suspect in part Kagu was holding back the taint. In part because he was male
<DeathStar> <Zun> And because you have magical traits being a god
<DeathStar> <Zun> You managed to clear your insanity, but the corruption may come for you again Kagu if you use youra bilities until we clear the source of taint
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> Oh, so that's why people thought I was dangerous when I used magik
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> ... Before
<DeathStar> <Zun> But now that Kagu is gone, the corruption has been hitting males that has not even shown signs of magik capabilities before.
<DeathStar> <Zun> And the cases of male mages have been rising the last few weeks and months. The world didn't know due to the wars. The NAGs were handling it, but it also seems someone else was rounding them uip
<DeathStar> <Zun> So, Kagu - it seems you were serving two functions in that volcano - stopping the leyline corruption and the male mage problem. which means they might be connected. But the immediate problem, my goddess
<DeathStar> 6* Zun looks at Ama and Tsuki
<Aqua> *Kagu rubs his head "I'll go back if it fixes it."
<DeathStar> <Zun> Male mages are rising up all over the world, including here, and rampaging. And their magik attacks are stronger than females. They are doing massive damage. And I think someone, or something, is controlling them. And you going back is too late. What is done is done
<DeathStar> 6* Zuzu leans back
<Chain> <Ama>Kagu you were wasting away
<Nyaomi> 6Mugi jerks. 1"Big brother Kagu..."
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> So someone gathered male mages and sent them out to attack everyone - why?
<DeathStar> <Bridgette> I have an idea
<Chain> 6*Ama looks at Bridgette
<kalonZombie> <Thara> And that is?
<DeathStar> <Bridgette> I mean, right now the only cure is to lock them up before they go too crazy, right? So they sotp using magik. To cut them off from magik
<DeathStar> <Bridgette> And keep them in a cell for their own good
<DeathStar> <Bridgette> You now have thousands of new male mages who have this power who likely jsut got told that there is only one path for them and that if they take out their captors...
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> They'll be free.
<Chain> 6*Ama nods
<DeathStar> <Zun> A good point - they are taking the Mason Guilds in our cities
<DeathStar> <Zun> There is one in this very capital
<DeathStar> <Zun> A school
<Chain> 6*Ama looks concerned
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> Those people just want to help others...
<Chain> <Ama> I cant imagine my boys turning this way...
<DeathStar> *Zun glances at HOko* You should likely go to the Demon Realm and let the others know - we might need them and that Rune Blade to find a cure - a permenant one*
<kalonZombie> <Thara> Well that's because you keep them in line with a very nice reward, Ama...
<DeathStar> <Zun> Meanwhile goddess, we have Gemet and port cities being attacked - all the Mason Guilds are being razed by male mages
<Chain> 6*Ama sighs
<Chain> 6*Hoko nods and moves to change
<DeathStar> 6* Zuzu begins to move and gear uip. ERevis turns back into Aso Erevis
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> A-Amamama.. my brothers...!? Th-They're in danger of this, too?
<DeathStar> 6* Zun pulls his glasses off for once and puts on tinier glasses
<DeathStar> <Zun> *seriously*
<DeathStar> <Zun> Anyone who uses magik and is male will go insane sooner or later. The reason males here do so less
<DeathStar> <Zun> Is due to a few reasons
<DeathStar> <Zun> The holy leyline
<DeathStar> <Zun> Ama's tits
<DeathStar> <Zun> And the fact we have a Mason school in the capital
<Chain> <Chain>...so perhaps the goddess should sate them?
<kalonZombie> <Thara> To be fair Ama's tits are a fantastic reason for staying sane
<Chain> <Chain> then we could toss them away?
<Chain> <Chain> when theyre exausted
<DeathStar> <Zun> But factors seem to be out of balance
<DeathStar> <Zun> We need to hurry b efore mroe and more go nuts - think of it like this
<DeathStar> <Zun> I have a cup of water and pour oil in it
<DeathStar> <Zun> Getting the oil back out is hard
<DeathStar> <Zun> Doable
<DeathStar> <Zun> But hard
<DeathStar> <Zun> Lets not let oil even get in
<DeathStar> <Zun> Lets gho
<DeathStar> 6* He moves out
<Chain> <Ama>...Thara, Leon
<kalonZombie> 6*They both look at Ama
<DeathStar> 6* Zun watches Zun go worriedly, since he's male
<DeathStar> *Zuzu
<Chain> <Ama> get my best 'outfits'
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> he's not a mage, Zuzu, he'll be fine.
<kalonZombie> 6*They nod and move off
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> He knows some magik, I am afraid, and that is all it takes.
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> When you have those circuits... and use too many spells...
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> Wh-Wha!
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> He got it from me
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> I forbade him from practicing, of course
<DeathStar> <ZUzu> But males are drawn to it if they can do it
<Chain> 6*Ama moves off and Chain sighs
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> ... No..
<Chain> <Chain> looks like Im still gonna sit here then
<DeathStar> 6* Zuzu moves out
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> Amama! Is there anything I can do!?
<Chain> 6*Chain reclines on Ama's chair
<Chain> <Ama> you will stay
<DeathStar> 6* Aso Erevis returns, clad in sexy male battle armor, and shouldering a magik blaster
<DeathStar> <Aso Erevis> Come with me if you want to battle
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT
<DeathStar> Location: Anora
<DeathStar> 6* Juliet rubs her belly, looking at a large painting of James, with his spear, loking suave, listening to people talk about things; Ro'an being back after runnining away from the crazies
<DeathStar> <Juliet> ... .... 6* She sighs, when alarms go off and she moves to the balcony of the tall castle over the city and below, male mages are blowing things up on the streets
<DeathStar> 6* NAG Mages move to meet and kill the male mages, but Juliet stares in shock and grips the balcony
<DeathStar> <Juliet> Oh James..
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mercy
<DeathStar> 6* Zegretta and Fi'anna chew on some food when outside guards shout about the return of the Tribunal - and sounds of magik casting can be heard
<DeathStar> 6* Zegretta rises and looks out her ice balcony down at the male mages rampaging below and grimaces
<DeathStar> 6* At the center of the battle is Rory, in a battle armor, part of the male mages, having been freed and made part of the new movement
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> R-Rory?
<DeathStar> <Fi'anna> This bad
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Oh this is really bad.... 6* She turns. "Get my armor and sword ready..." 6* She notes even as the Masons outside try to subdue the males
<kalonZombie> 6*Rory seems to not be casting, and in fact will, as soon as he's able to think he can get away with it, stab the other male casters in the back and try to find someplace safe to hide.
<kalonZombie> 6*But only when he's confident he can win
<DeathStar> 6* As Rory tries to stab he'd find his body moving on his own, as if someone is controlling him
<DeathStar> 6* As if he's being used in a conduit
<DeathStar> 6* Dun dun dun
<DeathStar> -SENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> And Final scene
<DeathStar> Location: Na'vi
<DeathStar> 6* Angel seems to be musing as she walks with Saedi
<DeathStar> <Angel> That is pretty clever - all the counter plans and plans within plans
<DeathStar> 6* She looks around the city, the rebellion done - the school of arts even larger than ever and the female liberation school growing and the bloood tournament being a big thing to get the Badelf elves adapted to a new life and then there's the fashion show battles
<DeathStar> 6* She looks at the Badelf elves signing up for school, as if unsure what to do with such classes, then peers at Saedi
<DeathStar> <Angel> Do you really think you can intergrate Badelf elves into this society?
<Chain> <Saedi> I have to
<DeathStar> 6* Badelf guards stand around, guarding peacefully instaed of being bullies
<DeathStar> 6* A standing army being formed to protect instead of Blantress suckling the tit of other nations
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, all around them male casters begin to warp in seemingly and blow shit up. Especially the Mason Guild. Angel jerks down, squealing
<DeathStar> <Angel> W-What the?
<Chain> <Saedi> What the flying fuck
<DeathStar> 6* The Masons rush out and try to contain the males, capturing them over killing
<DeathStar> 6* Elves are killed left and rigiht in the magik being thrown around
<DeathStar> <Angel> T-This is terrible
<DeathStar> 6* Angel cowers to the right of a wall, eyeing the attack on the city and the guild
<DeathStar> 6* The clinic suffering major damage - the recruitment stand flaming and the single person inside roasted
<Chain> 6*Saedi looks in horror
<DeathStar> 6* One male elf runs by with his pants down, firing magik blasts everywhere. Angel stabs him in the throat and lets him die. Suddenly, armored elves come out of the castle that was built asnd begin to b last the male mages to death
<DeathStar> 6* And round them up to kill them
<Chain> <Saedi> I cant...6*she makes face and grabs traps
<Chain> 6*Saedi moves out to help
<DeathStar> 6* After a short time, the mages are either captured, or killed. The mason clinic in ruins
<Chain> 6*Saedi eyes the ruins
<DeathStar> 6* Saedi's second in command , a short figure, looks around in their armor and face plate
<Chain> <Saedi> why....why does all this shit have to keep happening
<DeathStar> <Second in COmmand> This is happening everywhere according to reports. I want answers. And I will take this fight to those responsible. No matter how far it goes. We just got this together
<Chain> <Saedi> cant we fucking just have one thing go right? even when we try to be peacefuk
<DeathStar> 6* The XO puts their arm on Saedi's back and pats
<DeathStar> -END-
