[19:54] 2#1d20+8 Rare Item Hunting [19:54] Dr_Floyd, Rare Item Hunting: 10 [1d20=2], 23 [1d20=15] [19:54] (roll wis, Alcyone) [19:55] 2#1d20+8 Fossil Hunt [19:55] Dr_Floyd, Fossil Hunt: 12 [1d20=4], 16 [1d20=8] 06[19:55] * Bokor looks around the room for the remains of any of the spirits, the dusknoir...the shapeshifter. [19:55] (Found a Rare Item it seems) [19:55] 1d20 what wis [19:55] Alcyone, what wis: 19 [1d20=19] [19:55] (:B) 06[19:55] * Alcyone was out cold when the lady went down, so who knows [19:55] Alcyone sees a rubbery pink thing at the bottom of the pit! 06[19:56] * Alcyone yanks it up using Telekinesis. [19:56] Floyd found ... an ANCIENT MAP, and SHAPESHIFTER'S TOGA. [19:57] (Can I roll pickup for Vodun for SHENANIG-oh dommit Floyd found it D:) [19:57] "...Vell, zat's vhere she threw her clothes." 06[19:57] * Dr_Floyd examines the Map while throwing the Toga to Bokor. [19:58] Alcyone - the ditto isn't quite dead! Very hurt and certainly knocked out, but it's still pulsing slowly with life. [19:58] "Hrm." [19:58] "...Does anyone know a good way to restrain a squishy thing?" [19:59] Dr. Floyd - it seems to be an old and accurate map of the isles. There's several X's marked down on Barren Island though [19:59] "...A Pokeball?" [19:59] 1d20 pick up anyway? :3c [19:59] Bokor, pick up anyway? :3c: 11 [1d20=11] [19:59] (also augh brb phone) [19:59] Bokor wanders over to Alcyone. "Just toss the damn thing in a sack or something? I WOULD suggest we just kill it, but we're short on reliable sources..." [20:00] "I don't know, it's kind of knocked out." [20:00] "....I guess a sack would work. Do you have one?" [20:00] "Vell, zis seems to be from our old enemy too... Is zat a reliable enough source, friends?" [20:00] "It's one of the only ones we have." [20:00] "Oh, sure, we got the dragons too. But they are probably pissed. And I think we just send the priest we were going to question back to the afterlife. again." [20:01] "Ze map seems to be quite ancient, and yet, it describes well ze islands..." Floyd examines the Barren Island X's, trying to compare them with the places they went by memory. [20:01] "Well, islands don't usually change much, do they?" 03[20:02] * Break is now known as Tsvai [20:02] "Not unless something major happens, no." [20:02] Floyd: you've never been to Barren Island [20:02] so [20:03] you have no memories to compare it to :I 06[20:03] * Bokor takes out the remainder of his rope. "I don't know how the hell this would restrain a blob." [20:03] (Maximum derp) [20:03] "Leeeeet's see here," Tsvai says as she gets up. She's trying to get back to her usual state of cheer. [20:03] "Well, it's worth a shot, and I'll keep an eye on it." 06[20:03] * Alcyone attempts to tie up the ditto. It doesn't work well. [20:04] "Are you trying to restrain an amorphous shapeshifter?" [20:04] "I still think tieing it in a sack would work." [20:04] 1d20 [20:04] Paradox, 1d20: 16 [1d20=16] [20:05] "We don't have a sack, though." [20:05] "I still say you should probably just capture it." [20:05] "But it's knocked out. You can't capture something that's knocked out, everyone knows that." [20:06] "Vell, you can -try-." [20:06] "Actually I got an odd idea. Is Nurse still knocked out?" [20:07] "Hero of Justice would be able to bring it back up." [20:07] "I mean....he's a Hero." [20:07] "...." [20:07] "Yeah... uh, hold on," poof out comes Nurse yay except she is KO. [20:07] "Of Justice." [20:07] "He does that sort of thing." [20:07] "...I was gonna suggest we um, stick the blob in her pouch or something. But yeah." [20:07] ( ... ) [20:08] "....." [20:08] "..." [20:08] "That's silly, old man." [20:08] "..." [20:08] "WHAT?" [20:08] "..." [20:08] "I." [20:08] "Uh. [20:08] " [20:08] "Isn't that...." [20:08] "..." [20:08] "A little risque?" [20:09] "Zat's a good idea, Back-vor!" [20:09] "Pht. Fine, bad idea." [20:10] (I thought it was a decent idea ;~;) 06[20:10] * Tsvai takes off her cloak. "Instant sack!" [20:10] "Oh, okay." [20:11] (It's stupid enough to work!) 06[20:11] * Alcyone wraps the Ditto in Tsvai's cloak and ties it with Bokor's rope. "Tsvai, do you want to hold onto it?" [20:11] "Um....sure? I don't think there's a whole lot I can do here. Doesn't seem like this place is good for materials, unless...." [20:12] (( Actually, -can- I hunt for MATERIALS OF ARTIFICE here? )) [20:12] "...with that settled, I think we should get back to town soon as possible. What we DO need is a proper way to restrain this thing for later." [20:12] "I can have us there in a few moments when you're all ready." [20:13] "Don't forget about the ghost dragons!" [20:13] (I probalby should too) [20:13] (Bokor did you catch the Toga) [20:13] (since I'm low on materials and out of money) [20:13] (what about the Toga? D:) [20:13] (I rolled pickup though.) [20:13] (I threw it to you to see!) [20:14] (oh you did.) 06[20:14] * Bokor stuffs the toga in a bag, not sure what to do with it. [20:15] Vodun throws a ... [20:15] 1d100 [20:15] Paradox, 1d100: 87 [1d100=87] [20:17] a strange apricorn at Bob! [20:18] (Vodun uses Fling!) [20:18] (Roll damage) [20:18] "Ow!" he looks at it briefly, then puts it in the bag to inspect closer later. [20:18] "Jackass," he catcalls to the ghost. 06[20:19] * Alcyone looks around for any other clues or items of interest. [20:19] 1d100 [20:19] Paradox, 1d100: 31 [1d100=31] 06[20:19] * Dr_Floyd stuffs the map inside his bag and heads outside the catacombs. [20:19] Alcyone finds a REAPER CLOTH [20:19] (oh my) [20:20] "....How spooky. D:" [20:20] (Wyl has escape rope, Floyd.) [20:20] (We're sealed in anyway :3c ) 06[20:21] * Tsvai looks around for MATERIALS and THINGS USEFUL FOR ARTIFICE. 06[20:21] * Tsvai has been an engineer lately, but not much of an artificer! 06[20:22] * Wyl recalls unconscious Nurse, since it seems Bokor's idea was bust, and does a last scout of the room. "Anyone got other business here before we leave say so now." [20:22] "Just a minute!" [20:22] "I wish we could figure out how to get that knife back." [20:22] "All I found was a stupid piece of cloth." [20:23] "...Ze routes are sealed. I guess you can send us back, 'err Vyl?" [20:23] You pretty much got everything the last time you were here! So, not much left Tsvai. Soz [20:23] "....yeah, not much I can do here. Take us home." [20:23] ( "I beat up a Godspeaking Shapeshifter and all I got was this lousy t-shirt" ) [20:24] "Are you feeling better, Tsvai?" [20:24] "A little." [20:24] "I just want to get back, really." [20:24] "That ditto might has some connection to the lady, whatever her fate was. And we still have the dragons; we're not totally lost, yet." [20:24] "Alright. Recall your partners then and, uh... grab hold of me somehow," he starts fishing for that pendant he keeps hidden under what parts of a shirt he -does- keep buttoned up. "We'll be back in a flash~" [20:24] "This place is creepy and smells of sugar." [20:24] (BUTTON YOU- OH OKAY) 06[20:25] * Bokor recalls Vodun, and puts a hand on Wyl's shoulder. 06[20:25] * Tsvai should have everyone recalled - including Big Boom! 06[20:25] * Tsvai clings to Wyl like a limpet. 06[20:25] * Dr_Floyd recalls Ceratops while getting near the group. "At least, ve do 'ave somevhere to go now..." [20:25] "It's... gonna be interesting for anyone who next comes here, for sure." 06[20:25] * Alcyone makes sure everyone is recalled, that the ghosty dragon is as far down in her pack as she can stuff it, and wraps her arms around Wyl's waist. :3c Never missing an opportunity~ [20:26] Oh god there are women clinging onto him WHAT DO. Oh, right, this. There's a glow and a flash and then a POOF and Escape Rope. [20:27] WOOO WOOO WOOO WOOOOOOOOO [20:27] "Like a fuckin' candy sto-" [20:27] Suddenly you're in the Guild Hall commons, next to Namiera! [20:27] Ding! "You can let go now." [20:27] < Haven't gotten to do that in a while! > 06[20:27] * Alcyone doesn't let go now :3c [20:27] "huh. that's a...nifty trick." [20:28] Namiera absorbs her amulet back into her goo. [20:28] "Yes, und a convenient one too." [20:28] "I thought we were gonna die down there. D:" [20:28] Bokor immediately releases Vodun again. "Vodun, start gatherin' some books, gonna be a long night. We gotta report this to the boss first, though." [20:29] "Yeah, it's been a long day. Is Ser about today?" 06[20:29] * Tsvai is still clinging to Wyl with a cheesy grin. [20:30] < Ser Allerian? > [20:30] "Purple Shade." [20:30] "Even if he ain't, we seen some odd shit today. I think before we do anything risky, especially involving these dragons, we got some research to do." [20:30] "Yeah. Ser Wossname." [20:30] "I need to get a medic for these guys. Find a center. I'll try to be back in time for whatever briefing we need to go through." [20:30] Vodun snickers, but fades off to find BOOKS. [20:31] Wyl is covered in women. He's trying to look unbothered but the corner of his mouth has started twitching. 06[20:31] * Alcyone eventually lets go. " [20:31] "About ze Elixir..." He stares at Bokor with a serious face. "Ze high priest of Urmasomezink back zere. Your purple friend said 'e knew vhere to find it." 03[20:31] * Happytop (Happymance@sux-A75EE13F.dsl.mindspring.com) has joined #PoketrianOdyssey [20:32] "I intend to make my report - Bokor, you were awake when that creature went down and I wasn't, so I'm going to ask you to stay with me to report." [20:32] "Oh, yeah, definently, medical attention too. But make sure you get back here, the airship can wait." [20:32] "Oh, fine." The artificer lets go, and heads off to a medic or center to get these guys checked out. This was a medical emergency - mission formalities could wait! [20:32] "And then I'll need to heal my Pokemon, and them some research..." 06[20:32] * Alcyone sounds overwhelmed. 02[20:32] * Dynasty (Happymance@sux-9106EA5C.dsl.mindspring.com) Quit (Ping timeout) [20:32] "Floyd, that priest Quetz beat the shit out of WAS our lead for information on that. However, we can still get some info out of what we saw today, probably, but we're gonna need to do some readin'. Legends are provin' fairly useful around here." [20:33] "Yeah... what the heck have we gotten ourselves into?" he rubs the back of his head in something of a sigh. [20:33] "I don't know, but we can't turn back now." [20:33] "Fair enough, Alcyone." He whistles to Tsvai and tosses Kasim and Lebowski's pokeballs to her. "Make sure they get checked out for me." [20:33] "Oh! Good idea!" [20:33] "Aaaah!" 06[20:33] * Alcyone loads down Tsvai with her Pokemon too. 06[20:34] * Tsvai fumbles, but ends up juggling them. [20:34] '...and I'll take the ditto." [20:34] ....and more. [20:34] (oh come on, you have all the dex) [20:34] ( that's why she can juggle them! ) [20:34] "*Sigh* Yes. It seems vhenever fate seems to go better for us..." [20:34] With a worried look onher face, she juggles the aprocorn balls all the way to the center. [20:34] (D: the ditto?) [20:35] (I've got it, I think) [20:35] Namiera floats off to find Guildmaster Abelar [20:35] (oh, k) [20:35] "Now about ze map..." Floyd shows Alcyone the ANCIENT MAP. [20:35] "Not now, Floyd." [20:35] "After we make our report." [20:36] Abelar comes back, being tailed closely by Ronald as usual. [20:36] (Namiera comes back WITH Abelar, rather) [20:36] "Hmph, very vell zen." [20:36] "Alcyone. You have something to report?" [20:36] "Um, I would prefer if Reginald wasn't here for this, Ser." 06[20:36] * Bokor glares at Ronald. [20:36] "My name is Rona-" [20:37] He shuts up when Abelar looks at him though, and leaves. [20:37] (poor ronald) [20:37] "In my office then." [20:37] "Right. Please, lead the way." [20:37] he does just that! [20:37] Wyl comes with [20:37] "Take a seat," he says as he himself takes a seat behind his desk. 06[20:38] * Dr_Floyd follows suit. 06[20:38] * Alcyone remains standing. TOO NERVOUS TO SIT. 06[20:39] * Bokor sits down with a shrug, and starts to rummage through his bag for something. [20:39] Guildmaster Abelar steeples his fingers. "Well?" [20:39] "I'll give the basics, and then let my associates fill in the details. Following the theft of that dagger we retrieved from the catacombs, we traced the culprits back to the same location, where we ended up doing battle with a woman able to assume many different forms - and split herself into copies." 06[20:39] * Wyl is happy to sit down. [20:39] "It was the same lady from the rescue mission, sir." [20:40] "Ze one zat manipulated ze Vildlings." [20:41] "She was accompanied by a Dusknoir who we know to be a priest of -" It takes a few tries, but eventually Alcyone is able to get the god's name out instead of Urmabutt. "- and was able to summon various spirits to attack us." [20:41] "As well, she called upon two dragons? Ghosts? Dragonghosts? They have been captured." [20:42] He stares at his desk for a full minute. 06[20:42] * Bokor finally pulls out an apricorn ball from his bag. "Indeed, they have...admittedly, I ain't too sure what to make of them." [20:43] "We also managed to restrain a Ditto that was left at the scene." [20:43] he puts it back quickly, not wanting to release it or anything. [20:43] "Guilds Whitechord and Blueguard together were not able to defeat this shapeshifter and her minions on the previous encounter, and it seems she had even more back-up this time. I must admit, I am impressed." [20:43] "Well." [20:43] "I'm not exactly sure what happened..." [20:43] "If I may, sir, do you have something I could write with and on?" [20:43] ( Candy Hammers happened that's what ) [20:43] "We... didn't exactly have a clear cut victory. It was pretty much by the skin of our teeth." [20:44] "We wern't exactly alone." [20:44] (damnit Dox I was gonna say that IC ;~;) [20:44] "Ve did 'ave quite a stroke of luck. Und yes, if near death and anhilation means skin of our teeth..." [20:44] ( lol sorry :c ) [20:45] There is a knock at the door. [20:46] "I...saw somethin' there, observin' us, near the end it took control of me and gave me the strength to finish her off." [20:46] The door opens, and Ronald steps through. "Tsvai here to join you, sir." [20:46] "We already told you, Re- Oh." [20:46] He admits Tsvai into the room and leaves again. [20:46] "Got the buddies dropped off." [20:47] Wyl goes silent and ponders this. He was not aware of Bokor's posession, but then again he was still trying to make heads or tails of what happened in the end [20:47] "Thank you, Tsvai." [20:47] "So, what'd I miss?" [20:47] "Hopefully not too much." [20:47] "It was...a giant wishcash. Or at least the apperation of one." [20:47] "...What." [20:48] "Honestly, between you and Clan Redblade ... I swear you are both competing to see who can bring me the strangest reports." [20:48] "....I think I came in at the wrong time." [20:48] "Is Clan Redblade all right?" [20:48] "...Are we winning?" [20:48] "It spoke to me throughout the battle as well, blessed the candy hammer, I think it did." 06[20:48] * Alcyone elbows Wyl. 06[20:48] * Wyl is elbowed D: [20:49] "Candy H- you know what, yes, you're winning." 06[20:49] * Tsvai stands uncomfortably close to Wyl. :) [20:49] "Oh yes, ze Candy 'ammer vas blessed." [20:49] "Er. I made it." [20:49] "Out of a rare candy and his mace." [20:49] "It kind of got broken though." [20:49] "I think." [20:49] "Vhy even try to apply logic und reason to zis vorld." [20:49] (tsvaaaai, I saw him fiiirst ;_;) [20:50] "I can follow the reasoning!" [20:50] "Truly sanity 'as slipped from my life since i vent 'ere." [20:50] "It's like...." [20:50] She holds out both of her hands. [20:50] "But...I got nothin' more then that." he shakes his head. "Somethin' was watchin' out for us, though." [20:50] "This is good at being delicious! This is good at bashing things in!" She looks to her hands. "Maaaaybe....." and brings them together. [20:50] "It was more a matter of working with odds and ends...." [20:51] "...." [20:51] "I think we're done here, unless there's something else?" [20:51] "But in any case, I would like to question the Pokemon we captured, but I am loath to do so without considerable backup in case things should go wrong." [20:51] Wyl just kinda shrugs at all of this in a 'don't look at me' sort of way [20:51] "And then there's a beam of holy light and some cards and a candy hammer." [20:51] "About that, Alcyone, I feel we should do some research before we attempt anything drastic." [20:51] "Could I request the assistance of one of the other clans in this matter?" [20:52] "Hm." [20:52] "HMMMMM." [20:52] "I am aware, Mr. Bokor, but I'd like to start making plans now." [20:52] "Maybe the Vetor clan can help out!" [20:52] "It depends on what you're planning to do about 'this matter', Miss Alcyone." [20:52] "Assistance of ze clans voult be nice vhen ve fought ze Priestess. Or vell, 'alf of vat ve fought on zese bloody islands." [20:53] "We can't afford to let our experienced Teams roam too much with the Goldcloud still here. Damned Airship." [20:53] me taps the bag with the ditto. "We gotta lock this guy up good too, I'd like to question...it, later." [20:53] "This matter is assurance that just in case one of the pokemon were to rampage while we attempted to question it, it could be handled with minimal damage to the town and populace." [20:54] "As i said, ve should do zis OUTSIDE ze town." [20:54] "We're still going to need backup." 06[20:55] * Tsvai frowns at being ignored. She then settles for raising and waving her hand, waiting to be called on. [20:56] "...how the hell do you imprison a ditto anyway? Well, outside the obvious shovin' it in a ball." [20:57] "I'm afraid I can't get your family involved in official business unless they're league members. In any case, it happens that Blueguard, your brother's guild, should be more than adequate for this." [20:57] "That's what I was about to say, but you're too mean!" [20:58] "He's smart! And we're a family of artificers, so it's not like we're magic-dumb." [20:58] He begins writing on a piece of paper. [20:58] "And if we want to contain a ghost, well.....don't we have specialists? Mystics or anything like that?" [20:59] "Here." [20:59] He hands the paper to Alcyone. [20:59] "Give that to Ronald on your way out. Tell him it's for Ser Allerian of Clan Blueguard." 06[20:59] * Alcyone picks it up and looks at it curiously. "All right." 06[20:59] * Dr_Floyd looks at Bob. "Ve already 'ave a specialist." [20:59] "Addressin' a spirit is an interestin' process. We need to know more about these creatures before doing anything dire." [21:00] "Orders to help you question these pokemon." [21:00] "Thank you, Ser." [21:01] Wyl raises an eyebrow at the use of the word 'orders' for this. But, alright. [21:01] ( orders to clan blueguard. is what the paper was ) [21:01] ("SIT" "LAY" "GOOD BOY" [21:02] "And the Ditto?" [21:03] "Question it then, too." [21:03] "Um. Do you have something reasonably secure we can put it in until then?" [21:04] (You know, we could keep him inside one of the Potion's flasks) [21:04] (We used a lot of them) [21:04] (you should say that IC! ) [21:04] (...that's...) [21:04] (BRILLIANT.) [21:05] "...Vat about one of zeses." 06[21:06] * Dr_Floyd grabs one empty potion flask, used on the fight before." [21:06] "...Does that even" [21:06] "..Worth a shot." 06[21:06] * Alcyone attempts to pour the Ditto in. 06[21:07] * Bokor watches with curiosity. [21:08] You don't so much pour the ditto in as jam it in slowly through the tight opening. [21:08] (poor ditto ;_:) [21:08] "...this is mean." [21:08] "Better this than letting it transform and kill us." [21:08] "Keep in mind IT DID try to kill us." [21:09] "It's a very satisfying experiment!" 03[21:09] * castfromhp (nnscript@sux-38E9D83E.nuwlan.northwestern.edu) has joined #PoketrianOdyssey [21:09] "I never imagined it vould fit inside one of zose!"

I expect you to write a full report on whatever may come of the interrogations." [21:12] "Dismissed." [21:12] "Thank you, Ser," Wyl bows a little and takes his leave. 06[21:13] * zoofman_ nods. "I'll be in the library, feel free to join me if you wanna see if we can dig up any info on these dragons, or the shapeshifter, or the spirits we encountered. The elixer too." [21:14] "I'll join you." 03[21:14] * zoofman_ is now known as Bokor__ [21:14] (derp) [21:14] (somehow I dc'd inbetween my room and the couch D:) 02[21:14] * Bokor_ (derpaherpa@sux-D3486381.hsd1.va.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [21:14] (So, what are you each doing then?) 02[21:14] * Bokor (zoofman@sux-D3486381.hsd1.va.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout) [21:14] (Library) [21:14] (also getting something to eat ooc) [21:15] (INT ROLLS for library search!)

[21:15] Tsvai, Tsvai smash!: 22 [1d20=15] [21:15] "I vill need to search some too..." [21:15] 1d20 [21:15] Bokor__, 1d20: 13 [1d20=13] [21:15] (Searching for more info on the urmabutt and the elixir!) 03[21:15] * Bokor__ is now known as Bokor [21:15] 1d20+8 readin' [21:15] Dr_Floyd, readin': 15 [1d20=7] [21:15] Wyl gets to treating his own Pokemon; and probably everyone else's properly, using the guild's facilities; since he wasn't really able to treat them very well. [21:16] 1d20+8 (more info on urmabutt and goast dragon) [21:16] Alcyone, (more info on urmabutt and goast dragon): 28 [1d20=20] [21:16] Bokor is looking for legends about Giratinas in the isles, as well as shapeshifters. [21:17] (Alcyone, pick one - Urmabutt OR ghost dragon ) [21:18] (any preferences, guys?) [21:19] (Urmabutt, I guess) [21:19] (since bokor/tsvai are doing goast dragon) 06[21:20] * Wyl doesn't interrupt the group except to collect their Pokemon for treatment in turn. [21:21] TSVAI finds an old ghost hunter's encyclopedia [21:22] Which clearly lists the dragons you found as 'Giratina' [21:22] They're apparently very rare, but quite violent. They tend to inhabit big, abandoned places, and seem to feed on other ghosts. [21:23] "See! I knew I shouldn't have kept it!" [21:23] In any case, how will she contain one of the things long enough to question it? [21:23] "That is...a troublesome diet." [21:24] (roll int again) [21:24] (just tsvai) [21:24] 1d20+7 CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES, POSSIBLY EXPUNGED [21:24] Tsvai, CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES, POSSIBLY EXPUNGED: 18 [1d20=11] [21:27] It seems they're exceptionally willful ghosts, and are even harder to catch than most. You're going to need a silver-backed mirror, and some salt. [21:27] Of course, this was written before Apricorn balls were known about. And those seem to be doing okay thus far. [21:28] "They're talking about mirrors and salt.....and we can't exactly question them while they're in balls." [21:29] "It's better then nothing, eh?" [21:29] "Even if it's just a supserstition, wouldn't be the first proven true." [21:30] Well, according to the book, a circle of salt will keep ANY ghost trapped within its borders as long as the line of salt remains unbroken! Except Sableyes, Shedinja, and Froslass for some reason. [21:30] "...you wanna try this?" [21:30] "We can do that, sure. We'd just need a lot of salt and still air. [21:30] " [21:30] "That silver-backed mirror wouldn't hurt either." 06[21:30] * Bokor makes sure Vodun didn't hear that. [21:30] ( those 'some' reasons being EATS ROCKS, Wonder Guard, and Magic Guard :B ) [21:31] "If it goes free, we return it to the ball." 06[21:32] * Bokor goes to fetch some salt from the cafeteria [21:32] "We need a lot!" [21:32] "Like, at least FIVE buttloads!" [21:32] "Make sure to weigh them!" [21:32] "I ain't gonna release the dragon, Tsvai." [21:33] "...How much is a buttload?" Alcyone looks up from her reading. [21:33] He makes a circle of salt around a table, and whistles. "Hey, Vodun, I need you to try somethin." [21:34] "Depends on the person's butt, obviously." [21:34] "...Ve should spread ze salt outside ze library first." [21:35] "Let's just see if this even WORKS first." [21:35] "says the circle must remain unbroken, so let's test it." [21:35] ( Metric or Imperial Buttload? Metric buttload is .1 of a shitton, and Imperial is just half an assload. ) [21:36] ( If those are real units in Poketrian, I will flip a table. ) [21:36] ( D: ) [21:36] (:B) [21:36] Bokor releases Vodun inside the circle. "Can you get out of that?" [21:39] 6 [21:39] He keeps ramming into the air, unable to cross beyond the salt. [21:39] "Well, at least it works!" 06[21:39] * Tsvai breaks the circle. [21:40] "We do need to worry about one taking control of Bokor and forcing him to break the circle, if we do things that way." [21:40] "Hehe, sorry, I'll get you a flask of somethin' good for it later." [21:41] "...good point." [21:41] "oh, I know, let's try this?" [21:42] Bokor stands in the circle, and fixes it to be full again. "Vodun, possess me." [21:42] "Maybe should ve do it vizout our shaman friend?" [21:43] "I can't understand what Pokemon say. Can you?" [21:43] Vodun floats around bokor [21:43] and pokes at the invisible wall around him. [21:43] "hmm." [21:43] "So you cannot cross it, period?" [21:44] 6< Nope, I can't even feel ya in there. > [21:44] "Well then, that would be a good precaution to begin with, no?" [21:44] He gets to cleaning up the mess he's made! [21:45] "Good." [21:45] Alcy goes back to her researching. [21:45] "Anything interesting, Glorious Breakfast Leader?" [21:45] Some time later... [21:45] Alcyone finds something! [21:46] (oh boy oh boy) [21:46] ( I don't know what I could possibly tell you that would be in a library, but I ought to give you something juicy for a nat 20! ) [21:47] ( Someone's notes left as a bookmark? ) [21:47] (Oh god) [21:47] (those would probably be mine :B) [21:47] (san-check inducing scrawls in an unrelated book?) [21:47] ( hang on ) [21:48] (In before half-finished love letter from Wyl's youth or some similar nonsense, hastily jammed in to hide and forgotten) [21:49] ( Or Tsvai's secret recipe for blueberry pancakes. ) [21:49] (or all of the above) [21:51] (Yaoi Butler Monthly) [21:51] (Is what Alcy finds.) [21:51] (oh my~) [21:51] (/insidejoke) [21:52] Alcyone finds an old crumbling tome, 'Native Stories of the Payapa Isles'. You find a page from something else jammed between pages 107 and 108. [21:54] The page has several bullet points and hastily scrawled notes - it reads: - dittos? infiltrating? how? how long? [21:54] - why? serving wrong 'god'. makes no sense [21:55] (>jammed between 107 and 108) [21:55] (oh god making san check) [21:55] (Why would that--oh god) [21:56] ( HOW DID HE DO THAT ) [21:56] - Misty Mountain; Green berries? Hm, must tell Freed [21:56] On page 108, one passage seems to be underlined [21:57] (>freed) [21:57] (FREEEEEEEEED) [21:57] ( -OOOOOOOOOOOM) [21:57] "The Deceiver lives within every flame; his servants are creatures of chaos and mischief and fire - The Dittos are his ambassadors" [22:01] (It doesn't sound evil at all!) [22:02] "Hrm." [22:03] "....Boss Lady?" [22:03] "So, we're dealing with The Deceiver and Uramesheron at the same time? Or...?" [22:03] "Huh?" 06[22:03] * Alcyone looks up. [22:03] "Find anything good?" [22:03] "Maybe." [22:03] "hm?" 06[22:03] * Alcyone reads aloud. 06[22:04] * Wyl is totally cued to come in at that point, bringing Alcyone's Pokemon back with him now that they're all treated. [22:04]
