Battleground 3 Wednesday, October 11, 2005 Archiver's note: Archive started at 6:24 PM, PST, 10/12/2005 When we last left our war party of Cliaths, they had finally made it into the Battlegrounds Realm. After a moment of studying the signpost, it was decided to travel down the center path. Hopefully they'll make it to the specific battle they're looking for... Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] ((Because this is Combat and combat alone... 3 Log dice. Save them, enjoy them... weild them like a mighty edge at the critical moment that screams "ph34r Regin, B!zN4t Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((Heh)) Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((Rawr. I am leet! *not*)) Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] *As the long line of Garou make their way down the path, the sounds of war and battle occuring on every square inch of soil to any given side of the stonework path begins to dull and fade... almost quieting in silent reverence for the brave willing that would give themselves needlessly in dreams of change... change of the wretched past that spawned these equally wretched times.* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *she follows the instructions to not stray from the path* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *Wishes they could all watch the scene first, just to see, but puts it aside as he leads the way down the path--they'll see enough, he's certain.* Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *She flanks Lance and Gary, still keeping an eye out for stray bullets that might strike her once more.....Bullets that unless silver, wont do anything but annoy...* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] ((And had 1 suxx on activating the warpaint.)) Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] ((And now, everyone whose tribe is present and could in any way be descent from the Wyrmbringers... or Wendigo.. Roll Ancestors. PM me the results.)) Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *follows down behind the others, Blur of the Milky Eye running as strongly as it ever has for him ((3 succ rolled last night))* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((By the way, I've started log 3 minutes ago)) Damien Rangore: [MUZBM] (( No Ancestors background here. *C* )) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] ((I think that's all but the Gnawers (no Ancestors for any of 'em) and Ash...)) Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] (Ash don't have Ancestors any way, so it would be ditto even if her great great grandmother was there *G*) Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((The way I figure, there's bound to be Fenrir)) Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((A Fenrir not in a battle would be like fishing without beer)) Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] ((or dynamite)) Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] *the white rock of the Roman road begins to wane away... only appearing it pockets here and there as with each passing step, the pathway becomes a thin strip of compacted earth amid a surface of tall and lush green grass... the kind of rich and soft foliage almost exclusive to the deep, fertile soil of America's breadbasket... The deer run of a trail leads on and curves to the side, the scenery giving way to thick underbrush and lush, wide trees packed closely together, despire their relatively shorter stature of only 40 to 60 feet high.* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] WS--here's the battle... Wait until they show. We'll come from behind and bust loose with an Anthem of war to make sure we've got their attention. Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *She concentrates while they move along...Throwing up the Resist Pain gift so she doesn't quite feel any of the wounds in the battle to come and can fight better....Following Lance boldly onward* Damien Rangore: [MUZBM] *Nods to Lance-...Pushing up into Crinos as he moves closer to Ash, seeing as he was directed to stick close to her during the battle* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *chuffs an acknowledgement to Lance, still staying by Ruarc* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] *The grounds begin to grow ever more familiar to Lance and Ash... and within another minute the trees to each side part to reveal the wide, grassy expanse... Garou and human Indian alike frozen aloft in the air mid-leaps as they stand frozen in time, from the look of it only a few seconds after even breaking into the clearing. There they stand, six trueborns in Crinos, and twenty or more human kinfolk.. tired, weeping, bloody and frightened. A mother still clutches a dead boy to her chest as she runs, despite the fact that the young tyke's head is missing its left half... she hovers in mid-trip, expression almost locked on the warparty as she hovers, mid-trip with eyes blinded by the stinging tears* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] Ws--and remember tokeep the line. The sides give, the front holds. Slacker and me center, Ash and Damien left, Regin and Ruarc right. We want to make a curve so nobody gets behind us. Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *slowly paces on with the others, his red-hued Crinos keeping in the back as he looks over the scene in absolute quiet. Painful quiet. Slowly, he unslings the duffle from his back, unzipping the top and pulling out a few books... returning to homid as he begins to turn pages* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *But waits for the others to pass, carefully, so they're arranged in their line like he'd said.* Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *shifts to crinos as he steps off to the side of the others, slightly away from the flank, but close enough to not be out of range* Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *She rumbles as her form pushes up into Crinos....Muscles tense as it's clear she's fighting her urge to move and tear into the Garou going after the mother and child* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] ((*G* Correct me if I'm wrong, Crusher--but I believe all they see at the moment are the six Garou defenders, the wendigo/Uktena. The others ain't visible.* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *she relaxes to her breed form as she moves into place along with Ruarc* Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *watches silently... refusing to look away from the horrors... the logical part of his mind reminding him that these are not monsters.. there's two sides to every story. the aren't evil villains... for all he knows, their own kinfolk had been recently slaughtered. It can't be a random act of cruelty... but it did happen, and it's his duty as a garou to open his eyes to it* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] *The scene holds true... trapped in the intimate milisecond. At this moment, no one knows they're being looked at... no visitors to keep a brave face for. It is life they see. Sweat, blood, cloth and tears all floating timeless in the air. A trail of tears stands in the wind behind the woman, like droplets of glass affixed to reality.* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] ((Correct... only the Indian half is visible.)) Damien Rangore: [MUZBM] *He takes notes on position, who's where and the six true born that are to be their targets. Doing his best to calculate anything that they have in hand as a weapon and who seems to be the leader, if any of them* Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] ((wait.. the europeans aren't visible? are the wendigo/Uktena the ones seeming to be attacking?)) Damien Rangore: [MUZBM] (( *G* DLP then. )) Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] (Ahhh, I thought the "six true borns" ment the European Garou...My bad) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *Turns, careful to stay on the path, towards the indians.* WS--When it starts, when they come, we wait for them to pass and come behind them. If it won't start 'til we join, we wait a few minutes, and then we just turn like we are and take them head-on. Still ought to leave them a little more time to escape. Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *nods to Lance* Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *Offers quietly as he stands by in homid, thin fingers pushed into the surface of the page to mark it* ...Pottawatomie. I could tell immediately they were from the Three Fires council... but I'm almost certain these are Pottawwatomie. That would make this anywhere between 1836 and 1868... Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *Nods to Vicente. Closest he'd have guessed was Choctaw, but not too terribly concerned. Concentrating on the tactics, on the fact that he'll have to cover Slacker a bit, on hoping he did the right thing by allowing the Ragabash free liscense... on anything but those tears suspended in midair, no matter how his attention keeps coming back to them.* Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *Hackles raised...It's clear she's ready to cut loose....But she flicks an ear to Lance in acknowledgement* Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *cautiously moves about the area in his blurred status.. placing himself between the fleeing woman and the location apparent pursuers would approach from.. * Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *looks... stares. his eyes widen for a moment as he assesses the implications...* Damien Rangore: [MUZBM] *He notes Ash's tension likely beyond that of everyone else-...Just hoping she stays in line like the plan* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *Growls low.* WS--Come on, you fed bastards, an' come get 'em... let's see if ~we~ can make it cost you.... Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *launches back to the others, nearly plowing into the line as his gift drops... his voice gruffly making the english.. hoping their watchers won't understand it* TCFB. Here. Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *eyes focused on the still scene before her. just waiting on the word from the lead...* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] WS--this battle? Fuck... Then how the hell come we can't see 'em? Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *He sighs, closing the book again and placing it back in the duffle... zipping it shut once more* That would explain what Wendigo were doing in Missouri... they were forced out of Michigan after siding with the other side in the War of 1812... sought refuge with their cousins in the Osage river area... until forced out into Oklahoma a few decades later. They were the Middle Fire of the Three Fires Council... the negotiators and peacekeepers of the many Tribes... much like Middle Brother Croatan was to Uktena and Wendigo. *slowly returns to Crinos and leans low to stretch his back... a strange tenseness and cold filling his muscles* Archiver's note: ((Posts made in response to a miscommunication were deleted as requested to help move the read along.)) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] ((*G* Ditch that, then.)) WS--This fucking battle? Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *Looks off at the scene... eyes scanning the horror as he mutters a reply to Lance* ...It means one of us is a part of this... it's waiting for us. Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] WS--one of ~us~ is a part of this battle? Didn't you say 1830-something? Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *eyes still on the scene* -ht- I would not be surprised if there were Fenrir involved... Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *Glances at Vic, puzzled...Teeth gnashing as she looks back...Eyes locked on the woman with the dead child....* Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *Takes note of the Turtle Amulet on one of the Warrior's chest... eye raised, never thinking he'd get a chance to see one of the lost Middle Brother's most potent fetishes.* Osage were of the Uktena... so it could be me. *Looks back over to the pair of Shadow Lords and Regin* ...or it equally could well be them... Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] ...or Ruarc as well... Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *remains blurred as he continues to eye the area. Shrugs at Vic's suggestion. It's entirely possible* Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] ~ht~Then what do we do about that? *Ears placing back against his skull as he looks to Vicente* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] ((*Greedily chugs coffee during the build up... forming the caffiene high needed to run three packs of NPCs at once *g**)) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] WS--Vicente>>If we stand with them.... will they allow it? Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *grunts* -ht- I say we do what we came here to do, regardless of whose tribe & ancestors were here... Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] (*Is already boinging in place in anticipation and caffine high...Got started a lil early*) Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *Grumbles as, despite his efforts, he can't seem to get the concentration he needs to form a more effective Blur... He looks back at Lance* I don't know. It will depend on whether they realize the side you stand on and are willing to accept it. The Wendigo are fierce and proud... perhaps more like the Fenrir than either tribe would admit. Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *clears her throat, or the equivalant thereof... though amused by Vic's comment* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *Nods.* WS--We'll have to try, then. Same line. Everyone keep heads and tails down. Head towards them, then stop when I do, turn round where your at, and be ready to face the packs. Got it? Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *Grunts to Lance, eager to get going...Something normally found in a Philodox and more an Ahroun present in the Fury...* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *she drops down on all fours, staying in position & nods to Lance... she doesn't have to worry about the tail part* Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *he nods quietly... the duffle on his shoulder sudden;y fading away into a dark band across the red-hued crinos's chest...* Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] ~ht~Alright-....*He remains in Crinos though-...Tail low, ears back and head tilted down just the slightest* Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *Her tail tucks...But still, her hackles remain raised no matter how much she tries to force them down...Waiting to move forward with the others* Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *remains in position between the escaping and the iminent incoming.. expecting a possible flanking* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *And once they're ready he moves, leaping off the path--and heads for the group, making sure to keep his ears up and his head down, and his tail down to indicate no aggression, and hoping the other homids remember.* WS--Be ready; they come! Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] *Leaps in after Lance, keeping up as he moves after the other Ahroun. The none agressive posture kept* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *she moves when the signal is given. she can't do anything about her... um.. stub, but she does keep her head low & her ears alert* Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *Moves with Lance...Moving quickly for the group as her eyes flicker towards where the on comming should be....Claws flexing as she shows she's ready for them as they head for the group that hopefully knows they arnt here to harm, but to protect* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] ((Rehashing the layout: The Battleground path bisects the large clearing (about 80 yards long) in the deciduous forest. From the far right, 6 Wendigo and 20 kinfolk or so are just emrging from the treeline... scattered out between 10 to 30 yards from you. The others will likely be coming from behind them, in the trees. To the left is another 40 yards of open space (the other half of the clearing) which the Indians seem to be running for... Putting you all, and the path, in the way.)) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] WS--Slacker, Ruarc, Regin, go right! The rest, left! *And follows suit to the left, making sure there's plenty of room to to run through.* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *heads in the right with Slacker & Ruarc* Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *Swerves to the left on the order....Keeping pace with Lance and Damien as they split in half to form two groups* Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] *Bolts to the left, keeping his eyes out for both anything the Wendigo might pull on the group as well as the European Garou to come* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] *The scene remains frozen, it seems, for a few seconds still as the first steps off the path are taken. But in a moment, all that comes to an end as the wails and screams suddenly overtake them... a wave of sound trapped in mid-life washing over them as the warcries of braves and the ever nearing howls of the Wyrmbringers draw in from the distant treeline. The broken line of Pure Ones suddenly falters, kinfolk panicking and the Braves raising alarm as the warparty suddenly materializes in their path.... the kin begin to pause and circle... precious seconds and distance from their assailants lost with each moment. Vicente is notably not with the group.* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *Keeps moving, around the group.* WS--Move quickly--they come! Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] [Slacker and Ruarc] *The two Crinos nod in quick assent and make for the right... the Fianna seeming ready for battle.. eyes waiting to spot one of his own tribe to focus his rage on. Slacker sticks close by... intended to help all he can in battle, but even moreso to standby with the healing...* Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *She sees the falter and pushes forward to gain more ground around the group of Pure Ones to get around to the on comming Europeans.....Knowing that precious time lost could mean the death of them and their failing...And she wont witness what she saw last time without a fight* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *she urges Slacker & Ruarc to keep moving right, though they probably don't need much in the way of goading, to make room for the fleeing Kin* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *The War-Graffitti already leaving patterns behind him in the air as he runs--and identifying him as a Bone Gnawer about as clearly as anything can.* Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] OH FUCK! *Pauses midstride, looking around as he finds himself among the Wendigo... clothing replaced by tanned leather and bnoe vest... a turtle amulet hanging around his neck* Shitshitshit... Um... *hits crinos once more* ~ht~ They're allies!!! Move on! *Begins to run again... heading to meet up with the others* Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *breaks into a four-limbed sprint, praying his gift keeps the pure ones from seeing him as he moves to circle and guard* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] *Looking back at where Vicente stands.. the shadows of the past apparently oblivious to the change in the Garou's face and size, they run on again... around and through any of the warparty in their path. The howls an yips of the coming garou warparty grow ever louder... and ever closer. Nearly to the treeline...* Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] *Swiftly dodges any Pure One, kin and Garou to get past them. Reflexes sharp like a cats as he speeds towards the rear of the Pure One party and to form the line as the howls are heard. Taking in an lung full of air to help sound the Anthem of War* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *And once they're past, back to the right.* WS--To me! Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *once the Pure Ones & their kin pass, she heads over to Lance when he calls* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] *Slacker and Ruarc close in with Lance once more... as the kinfolk continue on, the five braves, along with Vicente, hold back and form up with the new garou... No, they aren't more men to command... but they are no fools, and know well the advantage of allies holding together* Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *She moves into position where instructed....Eyes burning with Rage and will for the battle....None of her ancestors were present for this, but still she stands to fight...To help make right what was done wrong....Hackles raised, claws ready....She waits for the European War Party to break the treeline and meet the claws and teeth of their decendance and their childrens great grandchildren's allies....Hackles rised, lips pulled back to display viscious fangs...Eyes sharp as an eagles and filled with Rage* Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *turns to keep an eye on the fleeing kinfolk... still expecting a flank* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *Growls over his shoulder.* Three packs come. *Looks back towards where they'll be coming from, so as not to give the appearance of ordering them.* WS--Vicente, call for succor! Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *once she has caught up to the rest, she stays in position by Ruarc, eyeing the treeline eagerly* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] *No... there's no need for such artful strategy in a massacre... a fact that slowly sinks in as the European garou begin to break the treeline... one by one, the Crinos and Hispo forms emerge into the grasslands and slow to regroup, seeing their quarry making a stand. One pack.... Fangs... another pack... Fianna... and third... Fenrir... and a stray Shadow Lord, from the looks of it. In total, perhaps fifteen... and none look to bear the classic signs of inexperience any could hope for. These are children of war, born in war and raised in war, and come for Glory in death. More fierce to consider than that, though, is the unfortunate fact that both Fangs and Fianna alike are renown for their heavy count of Klaives per capita...* Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *Blinks at Lance... he's no Galliard... he barely knows the call, which shows rapidly on his expression as his gaze casts to the ground and wide eyes scour his own memory somewhere among the blades...* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *Growls.* WS--Fucking Klaives... *Bursts into an Anthem of War.* Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *locks his eyes on the lone Lord when he emerges.. knowing in his heart that he must be the most dangerous fucker out there if he looks to be alone* Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] *He belts the Anthem along with Lance-...By far no Galliard, but he can let out a long roar if he wants* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *adds her own voice to the Anthem of War* Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *She doesn't waste her breath on the call....She's no Galliard and she gets ready to leap...Knowing the first Klaive to peg any of them is going to take more then one person down....Still, she seems willing enough to die....Not true death, true...But death in a sense* Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *Begins the Call of Succor... putting everything he has into recalling it... but he falters just a few syllable in. Growling in anxious frustration... he tries again* Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *rushes a wide circle to try and break into the treeline to get behind the 'lord and others* Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *With another breath, he belts out the Call of Succor... howl carrying high into the sky and into the woods for all to hear... even with his all thrown into it... without the practice of skill of a Galliard, it's little more than the whine of a puppy in desperate search o its mother... no numbers, no status or strategy embedded in its tones* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] ((And with that, folks...

It only slows things down. When it's your turn.. just go. Don;t forget to declare Rage expenditures and if you split.)) *Pausing a moment as they take sight of the other European garou that now stand in their way, with uniform speed and instinct the Silver Fangs charge forward in a wedge formation, blades drawing. Of the five, three wield Klaives, and the Alpha a Grand. The fifth seems to be fine with just his claws.* [Fang Alpha] *snarls* ~ht~ Know your place, mongrels.. or find it on the ground! *They charge... but it will take the Junkyard garou themselves to finish closing the gap* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] *The Shadow Lord grins mescheiviously, hands sliding into the depths of the long cloak that wraps around even his jet black crinos form, and breaks hard to the right... looking to swing around to the group's flank but otherwise only runs* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] WS--Then let us see what pure blood looks like upon the grass, inbred! Are we to take orders from someone who's likely sired more mules than a prize jackass? *Oh, he'll pay for that, but if he can get one or two into Frenzy; maybe get them to drop a Klaive, perhaps make them drop that even-more-deadly pack cohesion....* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] [Ruarc] *With a snarl... Ruarc desperately desires to draw in on the Fianna... despite the two Klaives seen among them as well... but he holds for Lance's orders.

Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] *Grunts-...Wiggling his fingers on the arm that's now there again* ~ht~Yeah-...*Rite of Contrition might be a good idea, soon* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *dips her wolf head in a nod* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((Heh)) Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *He nods in assent to Lance* The peacekeepers of the three. The tribal structure of the Three Fires was very similar to the three Pure One Tribes... unsurprisingly, guessing at where they likely got the idea. The Middle Fire was the embodiment of Honor and Law... the other two being Glory and War; and Wisdom and Lore. Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *exhales quickly in relief, disentangling any armbar attempts he was futiley making and rising to his feet. Extends a claw to help Damien up* Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *He raises an eye to Lance* Why travel so far? Doesn't anyone know summoning? If you can draw out an INcaerna with such a simple Rite, surely one could summon such a spirit to Kansas... Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] *With a grunt,he takes the clawed hand to haul himself up with. Glancing around to the others* Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] [Martin] *Frowns, still sitting backwards atop the truck* ...conversations we could be having AS WE DRIVE, people.... Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] *without a word, she leaps into the vehicle* -ws- Agreed. Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *Her head tilts at Vic* Yeah, but can anyone around actually summon him? I mean...Wont it take a lot of effort on the Cressent Moon's behalf? Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] Vicente>>If that'll work better. *shrugs.8 I make no pretense at being a Theurge. Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] *She grunts and moves towards the Mart-Man Mobile....Getting in* Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] *reverts to homid and heads for the Humvee* Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] *Shrugs as he climbs onto the trucktop.. his stellar sense of balance making it an obvious choice opposed to a seat in the hummer* Better check with the Theurges, of course, but I'd trade a rough ten minutes for a long three days any time... Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] *Shifts back down to Homid, moving towards their means of transportation to hop in and, well, brood* Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] ((*G* Minimum hour to summon, but otherwise....)) *Nods and heads for the Hummer.* We'll give it a shot, then. If we could talk to Turtle it would certainly be worth the effort, but so far as I remember that's not an option. Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] Just out of curiosity.. anyone got a cigarette? I figured there'd be no sense in binding a pack to bring with me. Boy was I wrong. Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((Logging while talking to boyfriend on phone)) Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] *And with the moonpaths now under the sway of the Gibbous moon, the drive back is both fast and safe... taking only a fraction of the time as getting there...* ((And now you can feel free to continue conversing here or in the Junkyard. Renown and XP will be sent to the list tomorrow evening, most likely.. or saturday at worst if I decide to do a long review of the logs first. If you want me to recall any renown-pertainent details I might miss involving your or other characters, feel free to ping or e-mail me. )) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] ((*G* The summoning tomorrow, then?)) Vicente "Eyes-Without-Form" Chavez: [HCVW] ((Ah... didn't know it specified a time. If it doesn't, I think the default is 5 min per level of Rite)) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] Alexi>>It makes a huge amount of difference. And shit, I gave you three packs before we left. Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] ((*L* Man... talk about power-week... yeah, if they want to do the summoning tomorrow, I can be on... though preferably early evening, so I can go do some irresponsible weekend-y things *g*)) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] ((Rite of Summoning does. 1 hour, and then -1 diff for every extra hour spent on it. Min diff 3, but I figure if someone gets ridiculous with it it shouldn't be hard to demand a few Stamina rolls.)) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] ((*G* And I might be wrong, but I think it's normally 10 per level. and yeah--just needs Lance and a Theurge, and we can hit it.)) Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((So they're heading back to Junkyard?)) Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] (*G* It's actually -1 diff I think for every hour spent....But I could be wrong seeing as I havn't effectively played a Theurge in a while) Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] Lance>>yeah.. I didn't wanna lose 'em. *settles in to stare out the window on the ride back. Productive night? yes. positive night? no.* Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] (And I wont be here tomorrow but I'm glad we got this part done at least *G*) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *Looks over at Alexi.* It was worse last time. Did you see the lizard show up? Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] Lance>>yeah. Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] Lance>>or rather, I saw the shadow of Godzilla blot out the sun before tokyo crumpled. Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((Me too.)) *she sits, keeping quiet while listening to the others talk & plan* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((This... was frickin awesome!)) Lance "Rides-the-Storm" Kilkenny (Jur-Ass-Has-Had-it Park, again.): [N2KJV] *Nods.* Then they were still fightin' you and not working on the kinfolk when he came into the fight? Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] (Agreed *G* Very awesome, Crusher...We did good for a buncha Cliaths, in my opinion *G* And heading back to the yard) Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] *Lance's questioning gets a darker look-...But he's staring any where but towards the others* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((And I'm going to end the archive now. If folks don't mind)) Crusher-of-Cities (ST mode): [RK400] ((Yep.... home again, home again.. jiggity jig. *L* Night folks... and thanks for participating in my madness *g*)) Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] Lance>>... uhm. *blinks* yeah. yeah, they were. *glances to Damien* more or less. Ash Spencer (Laid To Rest): [8ZC56] (Night Crusher! *Hops*) Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((Nighters!)) Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] ((night, Crusher. thanks again for running it)) Alexi Nicholai (SL PB 3): [EETC3] ((and back to the JY ***Poof***)) Damien Rangore : [4SLIX] (( Night Crusher, and thanks for the great scene. *G* )) *Keeps quiet and from blinking in surprise* Regin True-Paw: [1MR14] ((Logging has ended. I'll be emailing & posting the archive whilest lurking in the JY room)) End of Archive
