**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 24 04:36:32 2009

Sep 24 04:36:32 *   Now talking on #BSS
Sep 24 04:38:05 *   fudgebob has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
Sep 24 04:39:31 *   You are now known as fudgebob
Sep 24 04:49:52 <fudgebob>   what dice/bot are we using?
Sep 24 04:50:00 <BSS|James>   The first thing I want to do is establish protocols.  Let me know how you guys are used to doing things.
Sep 24 04:50:06 <BSS|James>   BoxCars
Sep 24 04:50:12 <fudgebob>   BoxCars, ok
Sep 24 04:50:21 <BSS|James>   roll 4df
Sep 24 04:50:21 <BoxCars>   BSS|James rolls 4df and gets ( )(-)( )(+) Fair
Sep 24 04:51:02 <BSS|James>   OK, so actions use "/me", right?
Sep 24 04:51:06 <fudgebob>   we'll use "OOC:" or parenthesis "(meh)" for comments
Sep 24 04:51:20 <fudgebob>   yup, /me for actions
Sep 24 04:51:22 <BSS|James>   parentheses works for me, nice and quick
Sep 24 04:51:23 *   WarLord (~WarLord@48DFF2.199311.CA8536.6482F3) has joined #BSS
Sep 24 04:51:31 <WarLord>   hello there
Sep 24 04:51:32 <fudgebob>   double-quotes for dialog?
Sep 24 04:51:35 <BSS|James>   Quotes for spoken text ok?
Sep 24 04:51:47 <WarLord>   fine by me
Sep 24 04:51:48 <BSS|James>   "Halt, who goes there?"
Sep 24 04:51:54 <fudgebob>   ok, quotes for dialog
Sep 24 04:52:15 <fudgebob>   parenthesis is ok for OOC too?
Sep 24 04:52:27 <BSS|James>   yeah, I think that's quicker
Sep 24 04:52:32 <fudgebob>   cool
Sep 24 04:52:39 <BSS|James>   Now for combat, I'd kind of like to do something like this:
Sep 24 04:53:11 <BSS|James>   rogar decides its time to take out the beast, so he draws his sword to attack.
Sep 24 04:53:19 <BSS|James>   So, announce the intent first
Sep 24 04:53:22 <BSS|James>   then:
Sep 24 04:53:46 <BSS|James>   roll 4df Rogar attacks the creature 2/2/4
Sep 24 04:53:46 <BoxCars>   BSS|James rolls 4df Rogar attacks the creature 2/2/4 and gets (-)(+)(+)( ) Good
Sep 24 04:53:58 <BSS|James>   that way, the roll and the modifiers are all together.
Sep 24 04:54:10 <fudgebob>   got it
Sep 24 04:54:17 <BSS|James>   then I'll make the creature/npc rolls:
Sep 24 04:55:10 <BSS|James>   roll  4df The giant lizard circles cautiously [Cautious Stance], 0/0/3
Sep 24 04:55:11 <BoxCars>   BSS|James rolls 4df The giant lizard circles cautiously [Cautious Stance], 0/0/3 and gets ( )(-)(-)(+) Mediocre
Sep 24 04:55:33 <WarLord>   I like that
Sep 24 04:55:47 <fudgebob>   yeah
Sep 24 04:55:49 <BSS|James>   Or maybe it would be better to make the roll, and then a quick line to show the adjusted O/D/D
Sep 24 04:55:53 <BSS|James>   So........
Sep 24 04:56:01 <WarLord>   we need a bot that instantly compare both results and give us the outcome
Sep 24 04:56:24 <fudgebob>   thats in the works *looks at Cathrak and Papaganoush
Sep 24 04:56:26 <WarLord>   work on that now papa
Sep 24 04:56:29 <WarLord>   NOW!
Sep 24 04:56:32 <WarLord>   lol
Sep 24 04:56:39 <fudgebob>   hehe
Sep 24 04:56:39 <BSS|James>   roll 4df Rogar attacks the lizard 2/2/4, Aggressive Stance, 3/1/4
Sep 24 04:56:39 <BoxCars>   BSS|James rolls 4df Rogar attacks the lizard 2/2/4, Aggressive Stance, 3/1/4 and gets ( )(+)( )( ) Good
Sep 24 04:56:49 <BSS|James>   Rogar: 4/2/4
Sep 24 04:57:04 <fudgebob>   that could help
Sep 24 04:57:54 <BSS|James>   So, in the first line, roll command, describe action, note stance (if any), and any Aspects, and then O/D/D
Sep 24 04:58:17 <WarLord>   the bot could do that too, using exactly the syntax you just used
Sep 24 04:58:21 <BSS|James>   Then, add your roll to your result and just type - character name: O/D/D
Sep 24 04:58:24 *   WarLord looks at Cath and papa
Sep 24 04:58:39 <WarLord>   ^_^
Sep 24 04:58:44 <BSS|James>   That feels pretty simple to me, how about you guys?
Sep 24 04:58:46 <WarLord>   yeah
Sep 24 04:58:50 <fudgebob>   yeash
Sep 24 04:58:59 <WarLord>   yeah James, pretty straight forward
Sep 24 04:59:00 <Papaganoush>   working on it. making the roller parameters tied to the channel
Sep 24 04:59:12 <BSS|James>   OK, so fudgebob is taking the thief, how about U WL?
Sep 24 04:59:35 <WarLord>   the mighty barbarian!
Sep 24 04:59:41 <fudgebob>   heh
Sep 24 04:59:44 <fudgebob>   figures
Sep 24 04:59:59 <WarLord>   really?
Sep 24 05:00:01 <BSS|James>   groovy!
Sep 24 05:00:02 <WarLord>   ^_^
Sep 24 05:00:05 <fudgebob>   
Sep 24 05:00:32 <BSS|James>   Give them some names.  Do you want to change your Nick's to make it easier to read in the chat?
Sep 24 05:00:33 <fudgebob>   dont want to play the magician for now, need to review BSS magic
Sep 24 05:00:43 <fudgebob>   no, we need names!
Sep 24 05:01:09 *   You are now known as Thermaculous
Sep 24 05:01:23 *   BSS|James is now known as GM
Sep 24 05:01:40 *   WarLord is now known as Anaximander
Sep 24 05:01:49 <Thermaculous>   cool
Sep 24 05:02:03 <Anaximander>   heh
Sep 24 05:02:11 <Thermaculous>   GM should be GrandMentalist
Sep 24 05:02:24 <GM>   That fits!
Sep 24 05:02:27 <Thermaculous>   lol
Sep 24 05:03:08 <Anaximander>   I suggest using the following syntax "roll 4df '@' x/y/z, stance*"
Sep 24 05:03:12 <Anaximander>   the '@' would be the action, the three numbers are, well, the three numbers and stance would be the chosen stance. The "*" would be used to say the bot we want him to store and compare the result with the next roll that ends in "&"
Sep 24 05:03:49 <Thermaculous>   Anaximander, that was meant for Papaganoush , right?
Sep 24 05:04:04 <Anaximander>   the bot would automagically modify the three numbers as a function of stance and give the altered value
Sep 24 05:04:07 <Anaximander>   yes
Sep 24 05:04:20 <Anaximander>   is that feasible papa?
Sep 24 05:04:29 <GM>   And hopefully, we could include Aspects in that as well?
Sep 24 05:04:47 <Anaximander>   wait, baby steps
Sep 24 05:04:55 <Anaximander>   ^_^
Sep 24 05:05:01 <GM>   Scratch that.  most people wait on Aspects, to see which is better, +2 or reroll
Sep 24 05:05:03 <GM>   NM
Sep 24 05:05:12 <Anaximander>   lets finish the basics first
Sep 24 05:05:16 <Anaximander>   ok
Sep 24 05:05:16 <Thermaculous>   are you ready? are you ready? lets get it on!
Sep 24 05:05:19 <GM>   And that's easy enough to tack on anyways.
Sep 24 05:05:58 <Anaximander>   "Yes you filthy dog!!! AHAHAHA!!!"
Sep 24 05:06:00 <Thermaculous>   gm, help me with the char. sheet if changes have to be made, ok
Sep 24 05:06:09 <Thermaculous>   ?
Sep 24 05:06:21 <GM>   sure thing
Sep 24 05:06:23 <Thermaculous>   hold my hand?
Sep 24 05:06:37 <GM>   I'll be gentle.....the first time!  LOL
Sep 24 05:06:45 <Thermaculous>   ahahahahaahahaha
Sep 24 05:06:48 <Anaximander>   OMG
Sep 24 05:06:52 <Anaximander>   stop that!
Sep 24 05:07:07 <GM>   Ok, just getting all my screens organized
Sep 24 05:07:07 <Anaximander>   I just imagined cthulhu porn
Sep 24 05:07:32 <Thermaculous>   ur sick, Anaximander / Warlord / perverted
Sep 24 05:07:40 <GM>   Brief History  Both of the PC's belongs to the Azilân Tribe, a barbarian clan that lives deep in the  Bahar, a lush forest that surrounds the massive Lake Uzural.  The Azilân Tribe has had a long rivalry with the  Nurkûn, because of a feud over hunting grounds.  The tribes agreed to relocate to opposite sides of the lake many years ago, but tensions still exi
Sep 24 05:07:42 <Anaximander>   ahahahahah
Sep 24 05:08:19 <Thermaculous>   (k)
Sep 24 05:08:21 <GM>    but tensions still exist, and the Nurkûn believe they got the bad end of the deal.  The 2 tribes have nearly gone to war 3 times in the last 10 seasons. 
Sep 24 05:08:27 <Anaximander>   it trimmed the text in the ",bet tensions still exi"
Sep 24 05:08:30 <Anaximander>   ok
Sep 24 05:08:51 <Thermaculous>   (use parenthesis, Anaximander )
Sep 24 05:09:00 <Anaximander>   (ok)
Sep 24 05:09:05 <Thermaculous>   (=p)
Sep 24 05:09:10 <GM>   The party awakens one morning to the sounds of shouting and yelling coming from the village center.  As they approach the center, they see the chieftan's son, Andar, standing on the back of a cart, gathering people around him.  As he sees Anaximander approach, he yells, "Brother, come forward".
Sep 24 05:09:32 <Anaximander>   "What is all this fuss Andar?"
Sep 24 05:09:40 <Thermaculous>   "Hail, Andar!"
Sep 24 05:10:03 <GM>   "Brother, I have terrible news.  When I went in to check on father this morning, he was mumbling.  I couldn’t understand him at first, as he is frail and nearing the end of his journey.  But he was saying something about having a nightmare, and seeing 2 beings come into his room, black as night, with glowing eyes.  In this dream, they sprinkled some powder on
Sep 24 05:10:16 <GM>   him, rendering him unable to move.  They smiled an evil smile, and then they grabbed Azun, our family symbol of power, and leapt out the window without making a sound.  None of this made sense, until I turned an looked at father's mantle, to see that his sword was missing!  With tears streaming from his eyes, he begged we find it and return it, as it is more
Sep 24 05:10:43 <GM>   than a symbol of power and honor.  It was the first sword of the Azilân, created in the fires of  Guradunbal, and blessed by Khâr Himself.  It struck the first blow at the battle of Abin, and it has protected the Azilân ever since."
Sep 24 05:11:01 <Thermaculous>   "Witchcraft!"
Sep 24 05:11:07 <GM>   This was no nightmare.  Azun has been stolen, and we know by whom.  A scroll was left in its place, demanding a ransom and a demand that we move out of the  forest, or war!
Sep 24 05:11:09 <Anaximander>   "By all the gods! It's not possible!"
Sep 24 05:11:46 <Anaximander>   "...the fay?"
Sep 24 05:12:05 <Thermaculous>   "The foul Nurkûn again!?!"
Sep 24 05:12:21 <GM>   Andar: "We cannot go to war with them.  It would be a slaughter on both sides."
Sep 24 05:12:45 <Thermaculous>   " Anaximander , we must recover the sword!"
Sep 24 05:13:18 <Anaximander>   "Of course we need! I'll take it out of the filthy hands of those pigs!"
Sep 24 05:13:40 <Thermaculous>   "Treacherous scum  indeed"
Sep 24 05:13:40 <GM>   Andar: "Anaximander, assemble your party, but keep it light.  They will have many eyes in the forest."
Sep 24 05:14:11 <Thermaculous>   " Agreed, brother Andar"
Sep 24 05:14:15 <GM>   Andar: "Our father, your chieftain, refuses to run away like rats."
Sep 24 05:14:21 <Anaximander>   "Give us your bless brother... I please, let us talk to father before we leave"
Sep 24 05:14:38 <Anaximander>   )and*)
Sep 24 05:14:45 <Anaximander>   (drats!)
Sep 24 05:15:25 <GM>   Andar: "Go to him now.  He will give you strength and guidance."
Sep 24 05:15:48 *   Anaximander goes to the chieftain's hut
Sep 24 05:16:04 <Anaximander>   (scene description please)
Sep 24 05:16:04 *   Thermaculous enters his fathers' hut and gives him a bear hug
Sep 24 05:16:10 <GM>   Andar: "The rest of you, be vigilant.  We don't know how they entered our village, so we must all work together to be safe."
Sep 24 05:16:55 <GM>   Father: "Careful, my son.  I am dying, you know." He lets out a bit of a chuckle, that turns into a cough...a sad reminder of his current state.
Sep 24 05:17:23 <Anaximander>   "Father... it's me, Anaximander... I'm here to take your blessing before I leave to recover Azun and our honor"
Sep 24 05:18:06 <GM>   His father sits up, with some struggle, and reaches over the side of his bedding, and retrieves some kind of amulet.
Sep 24 05:18:08 <Thermaculous>   "I shall find out who did this to you, father, and cause the same woe to them"
Sep 24 05:18:32 <Thermaculous>   (dibs)
Sep 24 05:19:18 <GM>   Father: "Take this, for protection.  I wore it in every battle.  You must be very careful, there is sorcery involved here."
Sep 24 05:20:08 *   Thermaculous nudges Anaximander to take it
Sep 24 05:20:13 <Thermaculous>   *accept
Sep 24 05:20:16 <GM>   Father: "Thermaculous, you are my son's best friend, and you are as my own son.  Look after Anaximander, as we both know he sometimes leads with his fists, and not his head."
Sep 24 05:20:26 *   Anaximander watches his old father terrible situation with a his heart full of hatred for the ones who did this "Thanks father. I'll be back in no time" *puts the pendant around his neck*
Sep 24 05:20:42 <Thermaculous>   " I will do so with honor, revered father"
Sep 24 05:21:17 <GM>   Father: "Take advantage of the stars, and stay off the roads.  I need to rest now."
Sep 24 05:21:40 <Anaximander>   "We will father..." *looks at Thermaculous and leaves t he hut*
Sep 24 05:21:49 *   Thermaculous slowly leaves the hut "We will, father. Rest for now"
Sep 24 05:22:37 <Thermaculous>   (jump to next scene?)
Sep 24 05:22:39 <GM>   As the 2 men leave the hut, Andar approaches. "I see he gave you the amulet.  It will protect you.  Be careful."
Sep 24 05:22:58 <GM>   End Scene (how's that?)
Sep 24 05:23:43 <GM>   (I can use that, maybe in brackets or something?)
Sep 24 05:23:45 <Thermaculous>   (just describe where we are next scene. maybe the forest or whatever)
Sep 24 05:24:03 <Thermaculous>   (sure)
Sep 24 05:24:05 <Anaximander>   *outside the hut* "Andar, my brother, I fear for the life of our father. I beg you to assemble at least two of you best men to join us in this mission, for if we couldn't retrieve the honor of our clan, at least our bodies be returned for our women wail for us"
Sep 24 05:24:45 <GM>   (I usually cue the end of a particular scene, and then await direction from my players on where to go next.)
Sep 24 05:25:05 <Thermaculous>   (ah ok. thats good too)
Sep 24 05:25:08 <Anaximander>   (sorry I was typing that already! my bad)
Sep 24 05:25:22 <Anaximander>   (I type slowly, damn)
Sep 24 05:25:36 <Thermaculous>   "Your words are wise, brother Anaximander "
Sep 24 05:25:54 <Thermaculous>   "... surprisingly!"
Sep 24 05:25:56 <GM>   Andar: "I worry that too many people will be caught out."
Sep 24 05:26:33 <Thermaculous>   "Ah, brother Andar. you are right"
Sep 24 05:26:57 <Anaximander>   "I see brother... Wisdom is with you"
Sep 24 05:27:07 <Thermaculous>   "... we must avoid discovery"
Sep 24 05:27:34 <Anaximander>   "Thermaculous, dear friend, can I trust you to fight by my side against those vermin?"
Sep 24 05:27:52 <GM>   Andar: "Whatever we do, we must be sure that we don't do anything noticeable that could be seen as an act of war.  They have sided with the Yashag dogs, so we would surely be slaughtered."
Sep 24 05:27:56 <Anaximander>   (how long will it be for us to reach the enemy camp/location?)
Sep 24 05:28:26 <Thermaculous>   " Anaximander , i am bonded with you"
Sep 24 05:28:37 <GM>   (The Nurkun village is about 2 days on foot, longer if you don't take any paths.)
Sep 24 05:28:48 <Anaximander>   (can we go there on horses?)
Sep 24 05:28:59 <GM>   (I was planning on FF through some of that stuff)
Sep 24 05:29:09 <Thermaculous>   " Yashag dogs!?!"
Sep 24 05:29:24 <Anaximander>   (o_o)
Sep 24 05:29:30 <Thermaculous>   (ff?)
Sep 24 05:29:40 <Anaximander>   (fast forward)
Sep 24 05:29:43 <GM>   (the Yashag are a group of savages that live in the caves east of the river.  They are violent and unstable)
Sep 24 05:30:02 <Anaximander>   (awwwww but I like roleplaying! drats!)
Sep 24 05:30:31 <Thermaculous>   ()
Sep 24 05:30:39 <GM>   (What I mean is, you describe your journey to the enemy village, and I'll fill in the blanks where necessary)
Sep 24 05:31:07 <GM>   (basically, lay out your plan for the trip, and we'll determine if anything important happens along the way)
Sep 24 05:31:41 <Thermaculous>   (can we travel via the lake?)
Sep 24 05:31:51 <GM>   (For example, taking horses would be faster, but you would have to stick to the roads a lot as its a dense forest, and you would be spotted easier by scouts.
Sep 24 05:32:34 <GM>   (you could take the lake, and there are plenty of places near the village that you could dock safely without fearing detection.)
Sep 24 05:32:39 <Thermaculous>   (disguise our boats as floating logs)
Sep 24 05:32:53 <GM>   (You don't want to get too close as they do a lot of fishing in the part of the lake by their village)
Sep 24 05:33:08 <Anaximander>   (Ok, I  was going to bid farewell to my wife and get prepared for the journey. After that I plan on taking the longer path, through the forest, trying to keep the surprise factor. Of course I would discuss that with Thermaculous)
Sep 24 05:33:45 <GM>   (cool, you guys figure out how you're going to get there, and we'll go from there )
Sep 24 05:34:30 <Anaximander>   (what do you think J? roads and just storm in? through the wild away from any roads? through the river?)
Sep 24 05:34:42 <GM>   (OH CRAP! I FORGOT TODAY WAS EARLY RELEASE FOR ABRIANNA)
Sep 24 05:34:55 <Anaximander>   (what?)
Sep 24 05:34:55 <Thermaculous>   (uh oh)
Sep 24 05:35:06 <GM>   (I have to run up to the corner for her.  Can we pause for about 15 minutes?)
Sep 24 05:35:20 <Anaximander>   (of course james)
Sep 24 05:35:22 <Thermaculous>   np, bs
Sep 24 05:35:37 <Anaximander>   (session halted)
Sep 24 05:35:44 *   Anaximander is now known as WarLord
Sep 24 05:35:44 <Thermaculous>   Anaximander, we must USE the lake
Sep 24 05:35:55 <Thermaculous>   no, we'll continue arguing
Sep 24 05:35:56 <GM>   (thx.  You guys can make travel plans, contingency plans etc, I'll be right back)
Sep 24 05:36:05 <Thermaculous>   right
Sep 24 05:36:10 *   WarLord is now known as Anaximander
Sep 24 05:36:12 <Thermaculous>   Anaximander, we must USE the lake
Sep 24 05:36:13 <Anaximander>   fair enough
Sep 24 05:36:18 <Thermaculous>   what!?
Sep 24 05:36:37 <Thermaculous>   i was expecting another fight over this, you, you brute!
Sep 24 05:37:03 <Anaximander>   (IC) "What do you mean Thermas?"
Sep 24 05:37:06 <Thermaculous>   so, you concede my genius re the lake approach?
Sep 24 05:37:13 <Thermaculous>   ""
Sep 24 05:37:38 <Anaximander>   (was that in game?)
Sep 24 05:37:51 <Thermaculous>   all of it wa in game ^_^
Sep 24 05:37:55 <Thermaculous>   *was
Sep 24 05:38:05 <Anaximander>   (¬_¬)
Sep 24 05:38:14 <Thermaculous>   "Remember, brother... i am the smart one"
Sep 24 05:38:16 <Anaximander>   (then use the damn quotes!"
Sep 24 05:38:28 <Thermaculous>   "=p"
Sep 24 05:38:39 <Anaximander>   (AHAHAHAHHAHA)
Sep 24 05:39:03 <Anaximander>   (I never seen '=p' being used in game before. LOL!)
Sep 24 05:39:29 <Thermaculous>   (very in-game, dont ya think?)
Sep 24 05:39:42 <Thermaculous>   (perfection!)
Sep 24 05:39:50 <Anaximander>   (you just demolished the fourth wall!)
Sep 24 05:40:04 <Thermaculous>   (no way!)
Sep 24 05:40:33 <Thermaculous>   (we are squabbling, barbarian brothers in this game, remember?)
Sep 24 05:41:02 <Anaximander>   (ok, I'll buy that ¬_¬) 
Sep 24 05:41:14 <Thermaculous>   (ahahahahahaaha) and...
Sep 24 05:41:21 <Thermaculous>   "ahahahahahaaha"
Sep 24 05:41:35 <Thermaculous>   (still ic) ^_^
Sep 24 05:42:43 *   Anaximander sighs "Heh, I'm yet to see all this smartness of yours old friend! I hope your brains save us during the heat of the fight... but personally I still prefer to trust in my blood stained steel" *shows his axe with proud*
Sep 24 05:43:11 <Thermaculous>   "Bah, you have a thick head and thin brain!"
Sep 24 05:43:15 <Thermaculous>   "So, brother, we travel by water? disguised our small boat as a floating log? dock in safe spots? and when we are near... swim into their camp at night?"
Sep 24 05:43:45 *   Anaximander blushes and mumbles something in very low voice
Sep 24 05:43:57 <Thermaculous>   ",,, and right the horrendous wrongs they have done?!?"
Sep 24 05:44:08 <Thermaculous>   "what? brother?"
Sep 24 05:44:53 *   Anaximander mumbles again while looking down, and seems to be extremely embarrassed
Sep 24 05:45:14 <Anaximander>   "I can't swin ._."
Sep 24 05:45:31 *   Thermaculous faceslaps
Sep 24 05:45:51 <Thermaculous>   "oh by the great one! i forgot!"
Sep 24 05:46:14 <Thermaculous>   "i am sorry, Anaximander "
Sep 24 05:46:15 <Anaximander>   "heh... maybe we can walk around the lake?"
Sep 24 05:46:32 <Thermaculous>   "hmm"
Sep 24 05:47:24 <Thermaculous>   "my  mind, my great mind, is BLANK now"
Sep 24 05:47:44 <Anaximander>   (LOLTPIMP)
Sep 24 05:48:00 <Anaximander>   ('till pee in my pants)
Sep 24 05:48:19 <Thermaculous>   "..."
Sep 24 05:48:47 <Anaximander>   "I say we take the long path, and walk by night"
Sep 24 05:49:48 <Thermaculous>   "we must avoid the forest... walking round the lake is our 2nd best option" *sighs
Sep 24 05:50:34 <Thermaculous>   "yes, by night only"
Sep 24 05:51:39 <Anaximander>   "Otherwise, we could get a boat and dock near their camp. We could then lurk all the way to the enemy place by night, and attack them with great might!"
Sep 24 05:52:09 <Anaximander>   "I wish Andar could follow us... he was always the best strategist... *sigh*"
Sep 24 05:52:15 *   Thermaculous prepares for the journey... with much cavorting and a drinking spree "i need my mind unhinged"
Sep 24 05:53:39 <Thermaculous>   "ok, brother, we take the boat as close to their camp as possible"
Sep 24 05:54:51 <Thermaculous>   "while i have the village women prepare a 'salvavida' for you"
Sep 24 05:55:07 <GM>   (K, I'm back, but Abri has a temperature, so I just need a few minutes to get her set up with a snack in her bed.)
Sep 24 05:55:16 <Thermaculous>   k
Sep 24 05:56:01 <Anaximander>   "No time to lose then, lets get prepared..." *Anaximander goes to his home and bids his wife and sons farewell. He takes all he needs for the journey and a few hours later he's at the entrance of the tribe camp, not far from the margins of lake Uzural, waiting for his companion, Thermaculous*
Sep 24 05:57:03 <Thermaculous>   (salvavida = a lifejacket made from oiled skins of the babarush)
Sep 24 05:57:59 <Anaximander>   (ahahhaha, imagine a barbarian with a duck buoy!)
Sep 24 05:58:14 <Thermaculous>   "Anaximander, i shall tow you inland with this!"
Sep 24 05:58:21 <Thermaculous>   *grins
Sep 24 05:59:18 *   Anaximander shivers
Sep 24 06:00:42 <Anaximander>   (waiting for the GM input)
Sep 24 06:00:48 <Thermaculous>   "Do not fear for your manliness, brother Anaximander, to retrieve the sword will bring honor unbound for our tribe!"
Sep 24 06:01:01 <GM>   (Really sorry about that.  I had planned on having her go to a friend's house after school on Thur. then we changed it to Wed., and I forgot to adjust plans)
Sep 24 06:01:03 *   Knaight (Mibbit@OWIRCN-ea9519b0.hlrn.qwest.net) has joined #BSS
Sep 24 06:01:15 <Anaximander>   (hello nate!)
Sep 24 06:01:16 <Thermaculous>   (np, GM )
Sep 24 06:01:25 <Anaximander>   (np at all james)
Sep 24 06:01:25 <Thermaculous>   (read our plans, GM)
Sep 24 06:01:38 <Knaight>   Hello everybody.
Sep 24 06:01:54 <Thermaculous>   hi, Knaight . we just had a short break
Sep 24 06:01:56 <Anaximander>   (we're in game, speak within parenthesis knaight)
Sep 24 06:02:03 <Thermaculous>   (oops)
Sep 24 06:02:06 <Knaight>   (sorry)
Sep 24 06:02:20 <Anaximander>   (^_^ np)
Sep 24 06:03:00 <Knaight>   (I assume that Anaximander and Thermaculous are character names?)
Sep 24 06:03:17 <Thermaculous>   (yes, a warrior and theif)
Sep 24 06:03:26 <Anaximander>   (yes. Anaximander is me, WarLord, and Thermaculous is cthulhu)
Sep 24 06:03:28 <GM>   (Wow, quite a chat session!   OK, so by water then, if I'm reading it right?)
Sep 24 06:03:42 <Anaximander>   (indeed!)
Sep 24 06:03:42 <Thermaculous>   (yes)
Sep 24 06:04:08 <Knaight>   (Still too late to join in?)
Sep 24 06:04:17 <Thermaculous>   (join in!)
Sep 24 06:04:23 <GM>   (I was just typing to ask if you wanted to join)
Sep 24 06:04:40 <Knaight>   (Awesome. What parts are already taken)
Sep 24 06:04:48 <Anaximander>   (its never too late until you die)
Sep 24 06:04:53 <GM>   (thief and barbarian)
Sep 24 06:05:11 <Thermaculous>   (you can be the Shaman)
Sep 24 06:05:15 <Anaximander>   (you ought to be the shaman then)
Sep 24 06:05:17 <Knaight>   (Taking Kaelic then. Spiritist)
Sep 24 06:05:45 <GM>   (sounds good, you can be a hermit type who lives by the lake, where the boys are heading out on their journey)
Sep 24 06:06:12 <Knaight>   Awesome. Have them bump into me mid-seance or something.
Sep 24 06:06:25 <Knaight>   (sorry, I forgot the parentheses)
Sep 24 06:06:35 <Anaximander>   (hehe)
Sep 24 06:06:53 <GM>   Kaelic didn't sleep well last night.  There were evil spirits nearby, he could sense them.  But they were very careful to avoid detection.  Something is amiss.)
Sep 24 06:07:35 <GM>   Kaelic has a sense that something invaded the village nearby last night
Sep 24 06:07:46 *   Knaight is now known as Kaelic
Sep 24 06:08:08 <GM>   We can assume that A & T both know Kaelic as aquaintences
Sep 24 06:08:25 <Kaelic>   (sounds good)
Sep 24 06:08:27 <GM>   Everybody knows the strange hermit by the lake!
Sep 24 06:08:37 <Thermaculous>   (this game has a greek feel)
Sep 24 06:08:50 <Thermaculous>   (cool, GM!)
Sep 24 06:08:57 <GM>   (definitely by the PC names! )
Sep 24 06:09:04 <Kaelic>   (I'll keep that in mind)
Sep 24 06:09:46 <Anaximander>   (ahahah)
Sep 24 06:09:46 <GM>   (OK, so we'll pick it up with the boys heading down to the lake to camoflage a boat then?)
Sep 24 06:09:55 <Thermaculous>   (yup)
Sep 24 06:10:33 <Anaximander>   (ok, I'm waring a frigging embarassing lifesaver suit, with a yellow duck painted on it)
Sep 24 06:10:42 <GM>   As you head down to the village dock, you see Kaelic standing by the shore, just looking in your direction (still feeling the evil spirit vibe)
Sep 24 06:10:47 <Thermaculous>   "Is your salvavida (lifejacket) safely on, brother? lets go!"
Sep 24 06:11:06 *   Thermaculous skids to a halt!
Sep 24 06:11:11 <Anaximander>   "Yes.... u_u''"
Sep 24 06:11:39 <Thermaculous>   ... taken aback by seeing Kaelic by the docks
Sep 24 06:12:01 *   Anaximander whispers "What did you see Thermas?"
Sep 24 06:12:12 <GM>   Since the camouflage will matter in your indetection, we'll need a check.  T could use his Disguise skill. not normally for boats I know, but it's in the ballpark.
Sep 24 06:12:13 <Thermaculous>   "Its Kaelic !"
Sep 24 06:12:33 <Thermaculous>   (add in the help of the villagers?)
Sep 24 06:12:37 <Anaximander>   (where exactly are we on the lake
Sep 24 06:12:40 <Anaximander>   ?)
Sep 24 06:12:48 <Thermaculous>   (still at the docks)
Sep 24 06:12:53 <Kaelic>   "Thermaculous. Anaximander. It's been a while."
Sep 24 06:12:55 <GM>   (on the shore)
Sep 24 06:13:25 <Thermaculous>   " what brings you here, hermit?"
Sep 24 06:14:05 *   Anaximander approaches "Ah! Kaelic the hermit..."
Sep 24 06:14:23 <Kaelic>   "There seem to be bad spirits around Thermaculous. Perhaps related to the lamprey incident."
Sep 24 06:14:37 <Thermaculous>   "lamprey?!?"
Sep 24 06:14:45 <GM>   (LOL Inside joke)
Sep 24 06:14:55 <Kaelic>   "It was before your time Thermaculous"
Sep 24 06:14:57 <Anaximander>   "Huh? You haven't told anithing me about that Thermas! *smiles*"
Sep 24 06:15:11 <Thermaculous>   "you speak in riddles, old one"
Sep 24 06:15:34 <Kaelic>   "Kids these days. Mid twenties, and already I
Sep 24 06:15:35 <Anaximander>   "Warlocks and their riddles..."
Sep 24 06:15:38 <Kaelic>   'm old"
Sep 24 06:15:49 <Kaelic>   "And interrupting too."
Sep 24 06:16:07 <Thermaculous>   "forgive us, Kaelic , we are on a quest"
Sep 24 06:16:26 <Thermaculous>   " our father is sick and our tribal sword taken!"
Sep 24 06:16:54 <Kaelic>   "This wouldn't involve another boat would it. I swore them off after my last travels"
Sep 24 06:17:05 <Anaximander>   "Kaelic, did the spirits told you something about the Nurkun?"
Sep 24 06:17:14 <Thermaculous>   "we seek to get it back from those tribal dogs across the lake"
Sep 24 06:17:25 <GM>   Kaelic gets a flashing image in his mind of a great sword, enveloped in a red aura, and suddenly explodes, causing Kaelic's knees to buckle momentarily.
Sep 24 06:17:26 <Anaximander>   "Yes"
Sep 24 06:17:44 <Anaximander>   "Kaelic?!"
Sep 24 06:17:49 <Kaelic>   "I get a bad feeling about this thing"
Sep 24 06:17:53 <Anaximander>   "Did you see something?"
Sep 24 06:17:54 <Thermaculous>   "I have a spare salvavida for you, Kaelic "
Sep 24 06:18:16 <Thermaculous>   (salvavida = a lifejacket made from oiled skins of the babarush)
Sep 24 06:18:59 <Thermaculous>   "What is it, Kaelic ?"
Sep 24 06:19:20 <Kaelic>   "Good, good." Kaelic strolls calmly into the boat, but his shaky knees betray something happening.
Sep 24 06:20:02 <Kaelic>   "Where are we headed"
Sep 24 06:20:06 <GM>   Let's see how well you camouflaged the boat.
Sep 24 06:20:34 <Thermaculous>   (please add-in the help of the villagers in making it, GM)
Sep 24 06:20:55 <Thermaculous>   (^_^)
Sep 24 06:20:56 *   Anaximander , sure that the Nurkûn had took his clan's sword, shouts: "Answer us wizard! Did the spirits told you something about Azun?!!!"
Sep 24 06:21:22 <Kaelic>   "I have yet to talk to the spirits in detail. Something bad is happening, and a rather large sword is involved"
Sep 24 06:22:16 <GM>   I set the difficulty to Mediocre, and with the +1 of getting some help from a couple villagers, that lowers it to Poor.
Sep 24 06:22:42 <Kaelic>   "If we have a few spare hours, I can call up a scout or two. One of them may even be able to get a bit of fog for the journey.
Sep 24 06:22:58 <Anaximander>   "Do your witchery, but you're going with us. We're heading to the Nurkun camp. I bind you to your shamanic oath!"
Sep 24 06:23:17 <Thermaculous>   (do we have time to wait for that, GM?)
Sep 24 06:23:32 <GM>   (So I just need a Diguise roll from T)
Sep 24 06:23:44 <Thermaculous>   (... to wait a few hours, for Kaelic to get help?)
Sep 24 06:23:46 <GM>   (It's afternoon at this point)
Sep 24 06:24:01 <Anaximander>   (I say we should go as soon as we can)
Sep 24 06:24:01 <Kaelic>   "I'm not a shaman Anaximander. I'm a spiritist."
Sep 24 06:24:38 *   Anaximander looks confused "Whatever spiritist! You made me an oath, and I'm binding you to it!"
Sep 24 06:24:38 <Thermaculous>   (k, i just roll a plain 4df, right?)
Sep 24 06:24:58 <GM>   (yup)
Sep 24 06:24:58 <Thermaculous>   roll 4df
Sep 24 06:24:58 <BoxCars>   Thermaculous rolls 4df and gets (-)( )(-)( ) Poor
Sep 24 06:25:04 <Thermaculous>   (ack)
Sep 24 06:25:10 <Thermaculous>   (just barely)
Sep 24 06:25:19 <GM>   (TY)
Sep 24 06:25:43 <Kaelic>   "I don't remember this oath. And I've been threatened by better men than you before."
Sep 24 06:26:03 <Kaelic>   Kaelic points at Anaximander during the previous statement.
Sep 24 06:26:42 *   Thermaculous moves between the two "Stop this! we must get the sword now"
Sep 24 06:26:54 <Kaelic>   (James, I can't access the character sheet from this computer. I'm reasonably sure that I have an aspect that that would have tagged)
Sep 24 06:28:30 <Kaelic>   Kaelic sits down "He is right. Now both of you, stay quiet. I'm calling a scout" Kaelic sits down in a meditative stance, focusing on the flame tatoo on his palm. "Alright Kya. Here comes another few hours"
Sep 24 06:28:34 <GM>   Thermaculous sees that telltale sign that Anaximander is about to blow, by the vein throbbing in his head
Sep 24 06:30:04 <Kaelic>   (See you guys later. I have to go quickly.)
Sep 24 06:30:22 <Thermaculous>   (what?!?)
Sep 24 06:30:25 <GM>   (I can NPC Kaelic for now)
Sep 24 06:30:35 <Thermaculous>   (k)
Sep 24 06:31:38 <GM>   GM: So right now, Kaelic has sat down in a meditating position.
Sep 24 06:32:59 <Thermaculous>   *sighs
Sep 24 06:33:40 <GM>   (A is typing)
Sep 24 06:33:48 *   Anaximander looks to be about to burst: "Kaelic!  I've saved your skin before! Don't you dare to betray me now. We don't have the time to sit down and 'mebidate'! My clan's sword was stolen and I bind you to your oath! You'll join us now! Do you bloody meditation in the boat!"
Sep 24 06:34:31 <Anaximander>   "we... need you..."
Sep 24 06:34:45 *   Anaximander trembles
Sep 24 06:35:00 <GM>   Kaelic: "You fool! You have interrupted my meditation, and now I must start over!  In a boat?  Meditate in a boat?  Why I.........."
Sep 24 06:35:27 <Anaximander>   "..."
Sep 24 06:35:51 <GM>   Kaelic regains his composure.  "Very well.  This is your quest, so you are in charge.  But I will not stand by if you do something that will get us killed, ok?"
Sep 24 06:36:25 *   Anaximander smiles "I knew I could trust you old friend"
Sep 24 06:36:34 <GM>   Kaelic:  "After you, my impatient friend."
Sep 24 06:36:39 <Thermaculous>   "Kaelic , we will give you time but you are now bondedto us"
Sep 24 06:37:30 <Anaximander>   "Thermas, how long before we reach the other side of the lake? Is it safe to sail by night in these waters?"
Sep 24 06:38:04 <Thermaculous>   "2 days by land, 1 day by lake"
Sep 24 06:38:40 <Thermaculous>   "It is the Serene Lake, so we can expect calm"
Sep 24 06:39:12 <Thermaculous>   "we can travel safely at night"
Sep 24 06:39:18 <GM>   (I have an idea, I don't know if this will work or not.)
Sep 24 06:39:24 <Anaximander>   "We should depart now, before the moon rises too high"
Sep 24 06:39:31 <Anaximander>   (go on GM)
Sep 24 06:39:43 <Anaximander>   (let us know what you're thinking)
Sep 24 06:39:46 <GM>   (But since I can't really tell when people are typing and I don't want to interrupt flow.....)
Sep 24 06:40:03 <GM>   If you have something important to type, just type a >
Sep 24 06:40:07 <GM>   Like this
Sep 24 06:40:11 <GM>   >
Sep 24 06:40:22 <Thermaculous>   (k)
Sep 24 06:40:28 <GM>   (Then I know to wait for something you are typing)
Sep 24 06:40:31 <Anaximander>   (ok, gotcha)
Sep 24 06:40:56 <GM>   (I find myself starting and stopping and backspacing a lot cuz I can't tell who's going to type what).
Sep 24 06:41:04 <GM>   
Sep 24 06:41:07 <GM>   .
Sep 24 06:41:16 <Thermaculous>   (understandable)
Sep 24 06:41:43 <Anaximander>   (ok, I'm waiting for your input now. Sorry for the lag in the responses. Its very hard to roleplay in a foreign language)
Sep 24 06:42:08 <Anaximander>   (at least for me)
Sep 24 06:42:10 <GM>   The 3 brave souls push the boat into the water, and as they wade out into the water, the calm and peaceful day is overshadowed by the very dangers that await them.
Sep 24 06:42:39 <Anaximander>   (^_^ groovy)
Sep 24 06:42:52 <GM>   (That's totally understandable.  That's why I wanted to have a way that we could let each other know that we have something to add, but need some time to do it. )
Sep 24 06:43:03 <GM>   End Scene
Sep 24 06:43:21 <Thermaculous>   (break for now?)
Sep 24 06:43:24 <Anaximander>   (ok! good scene!)

Sep 24 06:43:30 <Anaximander>   (break?)
Sep 24 06:43:34 <GM>   (A, are you familiar with the 3 terms used with Aspects?  Compel, Invoke, and Tag?)
Sep 24 06:43:45 <Thermaculous>   (a little)
Sep 24 06:43:54 <GM>   (I'm good to go, but we can take a quickie if you guys need a minute).
Sep 24 06:43:56 <Thermaculous>   (in theory, not practice)
Sep 24 06:44:17 <Thermaculous>   (i'm good for 1 more scene)
Sep 24 06:44:30 <Anaximander>   (same here)
Sep 24 06:44:55 *   Bynw (~fenix@netfounder.otherworlders.org) has joined #BSS
Sep 24 06:44:56 <GM>   (Just a quick mention; Invoke = when you want to use one of your Aspects. Compel = when I want to use one of your Aspects to challenge you. Tag = when you want to use someone or something else's Aspect.)
Sep 24 06:45:21 <GM>   OK, I need a roll from both of ya.
Sep 24 06:45:37 <Thermaculous>   (a compel gets me a GamePoint, right?)
Sep 24 06:45:50 <GM>   (Yup, I added it to your sheet.)
Sep 24 06:45:56 <Anaximander>   (why we need to roll? is it a random roll?)
Sep 24 06:46:18 <GM>   (You'll see.....maybe......mua haa haaaaa)
Sep 24 06:46:27 <Thermaculous>   (MWAHAHAAHAHAA)
Sep 24 06:46:37 <Anaximander>   (*sigh*)
Sep 24 06:46:42 <Anaximander>   roll 4df

Sep 24 06:47:03 <Anaximander>   (I hope that is a 'good' superb)
Sep 24 06:47:23 <Thermaculous>   ( its a bad bad superb, ana)
Sep 24 06:47:35 <Anaximander>   (fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...)
Sep 24 06:47:57 <GM>   The waters are calm and it is smooth sailing.  The crew doesn't even see any other boats througout the day.  As the day goes on however, you both "notice" that the camouflage on the boat is falling away.  You'll need to repair it if you want it to work properly.
Sep 24 06:48:14 <Thermaculous>   (frak!)
Sep 24 06:48:31 <GM>   (It was a Notice check.  Good thing you guys noticed that or you could have looked a little obvious pulling onto shore!)
Sep 24 06:48:46 <Anaximander>   (gulp!)
Sep 24 06:48:56 <Anaximander>   "Thermas! The boat!"
Sep 24 06:49:12 *   Anaximander points to the obvious
Sep 24 06:49:21 <Thermaculous>   " Anaximander , good thing i noticed this before we got near the camp"
Sep 24 06:49:22 <GM>   Kaelic attempts to meditate and contact one of his spirit guides.......
Sep 24 06:49:51 <Anaximander>   (hm)
Sep 24 06:50:26 <Anaximander>   "Fix it Thermas, but do it silently, Kaelic is talking to the spirits"
Sep 24 06:50:39 *   Thermaculous fixes the boat
Sep 24 06:50:56 *   Anaximander doesn't seem to be willing to help
Sep 24 06:51:13 <Anaximander>   (I invoke "What, me, worry?")
Sep 24 06:51:38 <Anaximander>   (to let Thermaculous do all the hard work while I polish my axe)
Sep 24 06:51:38 <GM>   roll 4df Kaelic casting Invocation, Spirit Magic Superb
Sep 24 06:51:39 <BoxCars>   GM rolls 4df Kaelic casting Invocation, Spirit Magic Superb and gets (+)(+)(+)(-) Great

Sep 24 06:52:28 <Thermaculous>   *grumbles
Sep 24 06:52:57 <Anaximander>   (what happens?)
Sep 24 06:53:26 <GM>   (We'll count that as a stylistic Invocation of your Aspect, A. )
Sep 24 06:53:53 <Thermaculous>   (grrr)
Sep 24 06:54:17 <Anaximander>   (^_^)
Sep 24 06:54:24 <GM>   While Thermaculous works on the boat, and Anaximander polishes his axe, a strange wisp of smoke forms on above the water, near the boat.
Sep 24 06:54:45 <Anaximander>   (do I need to roll to perceive that?)
Sep 24 06:54:53 <GM>   Kaelic opens his eyes, and looks out at the smoke and says, "hello old friend..."
Sep 24 06:55:01 <GM>   (no you can both see it.)
Sep 24 06:55:46 <Anaximander>   "What witchery is this? Kaelic, is this a spirit?" *anaximander holds a firm grip on his axe*
Sep 24 06:55:47 *   Thermaculous is stunned by the strange happenings "Ahhhhh.... ahhhhh...."
Sep 24 06:56:38 <GM>   Kaelic:  "Relax, heathen.  She is nothing more than an old friend of mine from another place.  She can be of great help to us."
Sep 24 06:56:51 <GM>   >
Sep 24 06:57:07 <Anaximander>   (ok, waiting)
Sep 24 06:57:40 <GM>   The smoke continues to take form, and begins to look somewhat human shaped, but smaller, about 1/2 size.  It glides over the water and settles in the boat near Kaelic.
Sep 24 06:58:14 *   Anaximander watches everything, cautiously
Sep 24 06:58:51 <GM>   Kaelic is looking intently, and seems to be whispering to it, but what he is saying is apparently not meant to be understood.
Sep 24 06:59:04 <GM>   err, looking intently at the spirit,
Sep 24 06:59:35 *   Anaximander looks at Thermaculous, inquisitive "huh?"
Sep 24 06:59:48 <Thermaculous>   "Ahhhhh..... ahhhhhh"
Sep 24 06:59:59 <Anaximander>   (lol!)
Sep 24 07:00:03 <GM>   Then, the spirit seems to nod in acknowledgement, and rises up into the air before dissipating into nothingness.
Sep 24 07:00:30 <Anaximander>   "What... what was that?"
Sep 24 07:00:51 *   Thermaculous closes his mouth
Sep 24 07:00:55 <GM>   Kaelic turns to the others, "She is going up ahead to scout ahead, and find us a safe place to dock the boat, away from any others.
Sep 24 07:01:31 <Thermaculous>   "Who or what is 'she'?"
Sep 24 07:02:35 <GM>   Kaelic:  "She is an old soul who now lives with her friends in the Netherworld.  But she comes to visit me every now and again when I need help."
Sep 24 07:02:35 *   Anaximander faces Kaelic, waiting for that answer
Sep 24 07:03:13 *   Anaximander seems to relax a bit "If you trust her, than that's enough for me"
Sep 24 07:03:34 <GM>   Kaelic: "Don't fear her, she won't harm you.  Well, that is, if you don't anger her." Kaelic lets out a wry smile.
Sep 24 07:04:26 *   Thermaculous is getting suspicious of Kaelic
Sep 24 07:04:33 <GM>   The spirit appears shortly after leaving, and has what appears to be a brief conversation with Kaelic before rising into the air again.
Sep 24 07:04:38 <GM>   >
Sep 24 07:04:48 <Anaximander>   "Heh... father once told me not to mess with spirits. He said you can trust them. That's why I only trust Nazarad..." *looks at his axe*
Sep 24 07:05:19 <GM>   Kaelic:  She tells me there is a good spot to land, but we must slip by a fishing boat to get to it."
Sep 24 07:05:43 <Anaximander>   "Be that way then"
Sep 24 07:05:58 <Thermaculous>   "Lets go"
Sep 24 07:06:03 <GM>   Kaelic:  "Let's hope this camouflage does its job."
Sep 24 07:06:32 <Anaximander>   "Thermaculous, guide us to that boat, to safety"
Sep 24 07:06:41 <GM>   Kaelic crouches low into the boat, and appears to say a little prayer.
Sep 24 07:07:13 <Thermaculous>   (would this count as a Move Quietly skill check?)
Sep 24 07:07:33 *   Anaximander chouches too, preserving the low profile
Sep 24 07:07:42 <GM>   (We're just going to rely on the Disguise attempt)
Sep 24 07:07:48 <Thermaculous>   (ok)
Sep 24 07:07:56 <Thermaculous>   roll 4df
Sep 24 07:07:56 <BoxCars>   Thermaculous rolls 4df and gets (-)(+)( )( ) Fair
Sep 24 07:08:10 <Anaximander>   (hm)
Sep 24 07:08:59 <GM>   > As their boat drifts closer to the shore Thermaculous can just make out the fishing boat before he has to duck into the boat himself.
Sep 24 07:09:34 <GM>   >their makeshift log gets even closer, within earshot of the people on the fishing boat.
Sep 24 07:10:11 *   Thermaculous signals to Anaximander "be ready"
Sep 24 07:10:15 <GM>   Something makes a splash near the PC's boat, and then laughter is heard, but nobody can see anything, while hiding in the boat.
Sep 24 07:10:23 <GM>   seconds pass like minutes
Sep 24 07:10:37 <Anaximander>   (oh the tension!)
Sep 24 07:10:37 <GM>   Another splash, and another.
Sep 24 07:10:41 <GM>   more laughter
Sep 24 07:11:02 *   Anaximander stops breathing
Sep 24 07:11:07 <GM>   The laughter eventually fades to silence, and the PC's boat stops moving.
Sep 24 07:12:10 <GM>   The spirit, slowly winds its way out of the boat looking like nothing more than a fine mist.
Sep 24 07:12:39 <Thermaculous>   "whew!"
Sep 24 07:12:52 *   Anaximander faces Kaelic and whispers "Now?"
Sep 24 07:12:56 *   Thermaculous peeks out
Sep 24 07:12:56 <GM>   After a minute, it returns.
Sep 24 07:13:02 <GM>   >
Sep 24 07:13:30 <GM>   Thermaculous peeks out to see that they are alone, and the boat has run aground, about 20' from the shore.
Sep 24 07:13:54 <Thermaculous>   "we... we... are safe!"
Sep 24 07:14:14 <Thermaculous>   "lets tow the boat to shore and hide it!"
Sep 24 07:14:39 <GM>   Kaelic: "That is an excellent idea.  I don't want to have to walk back."
Sep 24 07:15:04 <Thermaculous>   "You are alright, brother?"
Sep 24 07:15:09 <Anaximander>   "More importantly, we don't want them to know we are here... " *pulls the boat out of water*
Sep 24 07:15:31 <GM>   (can I get a roll from everyone please?)
Sep 24 07:15:37 <Thermaculous>   roll 4df
Sep 24 07:15:38 <BoxCars>   Thermaculous rolls 4df and gets (+)(+)(-)( ) Good
Sep 24 07:15:42 <Anaximander>   "Yes Thermas, lets do it quickly"
Sep 24 07:15:46 <Anaximander>   roll 4df
Sep 24 07:15:47 <BoxCars>   Anaximander rolls 4df and gets (+)(-)( )( ) Fair
Sep 24 07:15:51 <GM>   roll 4df Kaelic roll
Sep 24 07:15:52 <BoxCars>   GM rolls 4df Kaelic roll and gets ( )(-)( )( ) Mediocre
Sep 24 07:16:02 <Thermaculous>   (O.o)
Sep 24 07:16:10 <Anaximander>   (o.o)
Sep 24 07:16:56 <Thermaculous>   "Somebody is coming!"
Sep 24 07:16:58 <GM>   The party finds a great spot to hide the boat, along a fallen tree.
Sep 24 07:17:10 <Thermaculous>   "Lets hide quickly!"
Sep 24 07:17:37 <GM>   Kaelic jumps back into the boat.
Sep 24 07:18:02 *   db144 (~opera@OWIRCN-a1d49a3b.east.verizon.net) has joined #BSS
Sep 24 07:18:25 *   Anaximander hides behind the tree, near the boat
Sep 24 07:18:38 *   Thermaculous jumps in too, as quietly as possible
Sep 24 07:18:45 <GM>   (hi db144!)
Sep 24 07:18:53 <Anaximander>   (hello db)
Sep 24 07:19:14 <GM>   (A, give me a Hide check, you get a +2 with the massive tree)
Sep 24 07:19:53 <db144>   (hello)
Sep 24 07:20:05 <Anaximander>   (ok)
Sep 24 07:20:24 <Anaximander>   (my hiding skill is mediocre)
Sep 24 07:20:31 <Anaximander>   roll 4df
Sep 24 07:20:31 <BoxCars>   Anaximander rolls 4df and gets ( )(+)( )(+) Great
Sep 24 07:20:45 <Anaximander>   (that's a fair good result)
Sep 24 07:20:51 <Anaximander>   (good*)
Sep 24 07:20:54 <GM>   Anaximander finds a hollowed out part of the tree that will fit him perfectly.
Sep 24 07:21:12 <Thermaculous>   (nice)
Sep 24 07:21:18 *   Anaximander keeps silent
Sep 24 07:21:40 <GM>   You can all hear the voices of several men, speaking in what sounds like Nurkuun.
Sep 24 07:21:45 <Anaximander>   (I try to hear attentively to the steps and any voices)
Sep 24 07:22:45 <Anaximander>   (can I see my companions from my position? they can see me?)
Sep 24 07:23:14 <GM>   (A can see the boat, but not the landing, where the men are.  It sounds like there are 4-6 of them)
Sep 24 07:23:37 <Thermaculous>   (/me needs to pee badly... and feels a fart coming)
Sep 24 07:24:02 <GM>   Suddenly, you hear 3 short blasts from a war horn, and then it sounds like the men leave the landing area.
Sep 24 07:24:07 <Thermaculous>   (thats both IC and OOC btw)
Sep 24 07:24:43 *   Thermaculous peeks out again...
Sep 24 07:24:58 *   Anaximander is confused and tries to quickly peek out what's happening
Sep 24 07:25:18 <GM>   A quick peek reveals an empty shoreline.
Sep 24 07:25:19 <Anaximander>   (what can we see?)
Sep 24 07:25:30 <Thermaculous>   ... lets out some gas gratefully
Sep 24 07:25:37 <GM>   (LOL)\
Sep 24 07:25:44 <Anaximander>   (o.O)
Sep 24 07:25:54 <GM>   (oh crap, they heard that, and come running back!)
Sep 24 07:25:59 <GM>   (JK)
Sep 24 07:26:02 <Thermaculous>   (nooooooooooooooo!)
Sep 24 07:26:04 *   Anaximander whispers "Can you see anything, Thermas?"
Sep 24 07:26:19 <Thermaculous>   "Seems clear, Anaximander "
Sep 24 07:26:37 <Thermaculous>   "... but i think Kaelic passed out"
Sep 24 07:26:53 <GM>   Kaelic's spirit returns, and then leaves again.
Sep 24 07:27:11 <Anaximander>   "Huh? Why is tha-... OH MY GODS!!!!"
Sep 24 07:27:24 <GM>   Kaelic:  I think they were giving a signal to that fishing boat we passed earlier.  They are returning in this direction.
Sep 24 07:27:38 <GM>   (the fishing boat, that is)
Sep 24 07:27:40 <Thermaculous>   (nooooooooooooooo!)
Sep 24 07:28:21 <Anaximander>   "Bloody hell. We need to keep hiding until nightfall. Then we can overwhelm then, let's wait brother"
Sep 24 07:28:57 <GM>   Kaelic: "I estimate that we have about 10 minutes before the boat returns.  I think we have time to find a place to hide and wait them out."
Sep 24 07:28:57 <Thermaculous>   "Or make a quick run into those trees over there!" *points inland
Sep 24 07:29:29 *   Anaximander reasons, with difficulty... "Yeah! Let's run!"
Sep 24 07:29:40 <Thermaculous>   "Move then!"
Sep 24 07:29:43 *   Anaximander runs
Sep 24 07:29:45 <GM>   Kaelic: "I'm right behind you guys!"
Sep 24 07:29:58 *   Thermaculous follows
Sep 24 07:30:51 <Anaximander>   (did we find a good spot to hide?)
Sep 24 07:30:55 <GM>   As you bolt across the clearing, you can see you are only about 100 yards from the tree line.  Panting and nervous, you reach the trees safely.  Now the waiting begins......
Sep 24 07:30:57 <GM>   End Scene.
Sep 24 07:31:02 <Thermaculous>   cool!
Sep 24 07:31:05 <Thermaculous>   break!
Sep 24 07:31:09 <Anaximander>   cool
Sep 24 07:31:12 <Thermaculous>   gotta prep for work
Sep 24 07:31:13 <Anaximander>   that was nice
Sep 24 07:31:18 <Thermaculous>   nice game
Sep 24 07:31:24 <Anaximander>   indeed
Sep 24 07:31:33 <GM>   So much just just jumping into a fight!
Sep 24 07:31:44 <Anaximander>   lol
Sep 24 07:31:49 *   Anaximander is now known as WarLord
Sep 24 07:31:50 <Thermaculous>   we tend to be talkative, GM , so get used to it
Sep 24 07:31:58 <GM>   When Warlord mentioned his desire to get a littel more roleplaying in, I thought I'd stretch things out a bit
Sep 24 07:32:14 <Thermaculous>   yeah. great game so far!
Sep 24 07:32:17 <GM>   No worries.  I've always tried, as a GM, to pace my game according to my players.
Sep 24 07:32:27 *   You are now known as fudgebob
Sep 24 07:32:45 <GM>   We can pick this one up anytime you guys want.
Sep 24 07:32:50 <WarLord>   I just think like roleplaying games should have at least some roleplaying. I'm full of that old school hack and slash, kill them all style of games
Sep 24 07:33:09 <WarLord>   I liked our session today
Sep 24 07:33:27 <GM>   Well, I tend to even run my hack n slash with roleplaying and vivid description.
Sep 24 07:33:36 <WarLord>   that's the perfect mixing!
Sep 24 07:33:38 <fudgebob>   what works is: we play in #BSS and the GM pm's the players. no need for an ooc-channel
Sep 24 07:33:49 <WarLord>   agreed
Sep 24 07:33:56 <GM>   It will get better as I get used to this format.
Sep 24 07:34:15 <WarLord>   enjoying IRC James?
Sep 24 07:34:24 <GM>   I've never GM'd like this before, so it's a little awkward, until I get my "system" down for doing things.
Sep 24 07:34:37 <WarLord>   I see
Sep 24 07:34:37 <GM>   It's like super fast PbP.
Sep 24 07:34:43 <WarLord>   ahahahah
Sep 24 07:34:57 <GM>   You get to have the detailed description without waiting 2 days to find out what happened!
Sep 24 07:35:02 <fudgebob>   well, you got beginners luck then, james. good gaming
Sep 24 07:35:06 <fudgebob>   brb
Sep 24 07:35:32 <WarLord>   agreed, once again
Sep 24 07:35:54 <GM>   I like the pacing, it's not as slow as I thought it would be.
Sep 24 07:36:16 <WarLord>   hehe
Sep 24 07:36:18 <GM>   I know combat will be a bit slower, but combat is slower in every format.
Sep 24 07:36:34 <WarLord>   with a good bot, combat can be as fast as our roleplaying
Sep 24 07:36:44 <GM>   I know that using that ">" will help me stay on top of things too.
Sep 24 07:36:57 <WarLord>   ^_^
Sep 24 07:37:03 <WarLord>   good idea with that
Sep 24 07:37:05 <GM>   you guys should use it to, when you want me to wait for your text before I add more to the scene.
Sep 24 07:37:15 <WarLord>   I will
Sep 24 07:37:31 <GM>   it's kind of like clearing your throat at the table.   lol
Sep 24 07:37:42 <WarLord>   ^_^
Sep 24 07:37:44 <WarLord>   lol
Sep 24 07:38:03 *   GM is now known as BSS|James

Sep 24 07:43:31 <BSS|James>   So, be honest, how did that compare to a "typical" session?
Sep 24 07:46:43 <WarLord>   it was just fine dude! a good IRC session
Sep 24 07:47:18 <WarLord>   congrats
Sep 24 07:47:20 <WarLord>   ^_^
