[06:40] <%Sheng> RECAP
[06:40] <%Sheng> The party passes through the underground tunnel but is attacked by a jewel-tongued serpent,
[06:40] <%Sheng> seriously hurting Takabe in the process. When they exit the tunnel, they are surrounded by
[06:40] <%Sheng> grey-skinned men. They also discover a purplish-green mass covering the earth at the forest edge.
[06:40] <%Sheng> Its nightfall and starts to rain. They seek shelter away from the creepinf thing. Double-guards
[06:40] <%Sheng> are posted. Takabe rest and Sheng heals him. Anami is cooking food, Ryuno starts to analyse his
[06:40] <%Sheng> samples...
[06:41] * Cathrak is now known as Ryuno
[06:43] <%Sheng> "Master Takabe, what do you think of that abominable creeping 'thing'?"
[06:43] <Takabe> Gozaimasu, bushi-san.
[06:44] <%Sheng> "Hai"
[06:44] <Takabe> The world is full of wonders and if I were not hurt I would take a feather for my master to honor you. The creeping thing was not natural, I think. But were it created from a sorcerer?
[06:44] <Takabe> And what is its link to the village?
[06:44] <Ryuno> !roll 4df does the substance live?
[06:44] <@ChanServ> 1 == 1
[06:44] <Ryuno> Ryuno rolls 4df on does the substance live? and gets (-)(+)(+)(-) Fair
[06:44] <%Sheng> a YES
[06:45] <Ryuno> sure? i think the odds were rather low
[06:45] <%Sheng> ok, you set the odds. dont mind me
[06:45] <Ryuno> ah ok
[06:46] <%Sheng> i think we should just stick to the TA channel today
[06:46] <%Sheng> i'm getting dizzy
[06:46] <Ryuno> !roll 4df is the substance dangerous if you touch it? (below average odds too)
[06:46] <@ChanServ> 1 == 1
[06:46] <Ryuno> Ryuno rolls 4df on is the substance dangerous if you touch it? (below average odds too) and gets (-)( )(-)( ) Poor, this triggers a random event!
[06:47] <Ryuno> !random
[06:47] <Ryuno> Random event by Ryuno: "Release food" with focus on Remote event
[06:47] <Ryuno> somebody please interpret that ;-)
[06:47] <Takabe> Perhaps the abomination was (release = free = wild?) a wild thing the villagers were feeding?
[06:48] <%Sheng> or we can skip this random
[06:48] <%Sheng> anami?
[06:48] <Anami> I'm thinking
[06:49] <Takabe> OCC
[06:49] <Takabe> (sorry OOC)
[06:50] <%Sheng> "We can use the birds nest for soup!"
[06:51] <Anami> "Birds nest?! I could use some eggs! Where are they Father?"
[06:51] <%Sheng> "Master Takabe, you're are is just sore now... Ryuno's potion and by the grace of the gods helped heal you"
[06:52] <%Sheng> "Anami, its there, at the nearby tree"
[06:52] <%Sheng> Sato "I will fetch it for you, my love"
[06:52] * Anami approaches the tree
[06:52] <Anami> "Oh... thanks Sato..."
[06:53] <%Sheng> Sato quickly gets the nest
[06:53] <%Sheng> and also 2 eggs!
[06:53] <Anami> [yay!]
[06:53] <Anami> [but that's too little for a good soup... maybe if I add some of this creep...]
[06:54] <Takabe> (/ooc/ using Takabe's Fault "That's *two* you owe me, Junior) to Ryuno: I am in your debt.
[06:54] <%Sheng> "Anami! Stop that!"
[06:55] <Anami> "Don't worry Father... I'm not *that* hungry..."
[06:55] <Ryuno> "glad i can help"
[06:55] * Ryuno goes back to his studies
[06:55] * Anami cooks the best soup she could with the available ingredients
[06:55] <Takabe> What of these grey men?
[06:56] <Ryuno> !roll 4df can i identify the substance as some kind of nourishment? (average)
[06:56] <@ChanServ> 1 == 1
[06:56] <Ryuno> Ryuno rolls 4df on can i identify the substance as some kind of nourishment? (average) and gets ( )(-)(-)( ) Poor, this triggers a random event!
[06:56] <Ryuno> !random
[06:56] <Ryuno> Random event by Ryuno: "Trick weather" with focus on PC positive
[06:56] <Ryuno> "i give up, i have no idea what this stuff is"
[06:56] <%Sheng> "That creep is toxic?!?!"

[06:56] <@ChanServ> 1 == 1
[06:56] <Ryuno> Anami rolls 4df on to cook! and gets ( )( )(+)(-) Fair, this triggers a random event!
[06:56] <%Sheng> The rain has stopped
[06:57] * Anami proves her own soup...
[06:57] <Takabe> How does it taste, Anami?
[06:57] <Ryuno> (roll your event anami ;-) )
[06:57] <Anami> "Hm! It tastes good!"
[06:57] <%Sheng> "Delicious!"
[06:58] <Anami> "I'm afraid our portions will be small though..."
[06:58] <Takabe> (A bit finicky, eating a ration.)
[06:58] <%Sheng> "Master Takabe, i see you weild a spear..."
[06:59] <%Sheng> "... from what school did you learn spear-fighting?"
[07:00] <%Sheng> cool. wait i'll roll which thread
[07:01] <Takabe> My story is a sad one, Sheng. I went to no school, but was instead a bodyguard. While at a noble's court I carried spears and stood guard. There, I was taught by my master.
[07:01] <Takabe> A great soul. (Eyes downcast)
[07:02] <%Sheng> Why so sad, Master Takabe?
[07:02] <Takabe> (Carfully guards a book in his satchel.)
[07:02] * Anami serves a portion of the soup to Takabe "Here, please accept"
[07:03] <Takabe> My master was old (thank you, Anami), and not many months later joined the Heaven King.
[07:03] * Anami serves a portion of the soup to everyone present
[07:04] <%Sheng> How did you come by this way, Master TaKabe?
[07:04] <Takabe> (Puts food down careflly. Stands, feet apart, spear in right hand, assumes stiff posture, poker face.) Long hours like this.
[07:05] <Ryuno> "thank you anami, i didnt know you cook that well, but beeing a girl you would, wouldnt you?"
[07:05] <Takabe> Sensei taught me *this* (has Good fastdraw for spear, will attempt to whip it around to /ready/ stance. You might notice it is more of a dance step.) Roll !4dF
[07:06] <Takabe> Roll !4dF
[07:06] <+BoxCars> Takabe rolls !4dF and gets (+)(-)(-)( ) Mediocre
[07:06] <Anami> "Thanks for the compliment master Ryuno. My mom taught me how to cook... all I know I learned from her"
[07:06] <%Sheng> "Master! you are still sore!"
[07:06] <Takabe> (Bows, accepting the face-saving move. Nice one, Sheng.)
[07:07] <Takabe> (And to show honor, he eats the soup.)
[07:07] <Anami> [hahahahha perfect]
[07:09] <Anami> *after feeding, Anami wonders...*
[07:09] <%Sheng> they're the dwarves, making an appearance
[07:10] <%Sheng> "But how did you come by this way, Master TaKabe?"
[07:12] <Takabe> I study my sensei's (spelling?) teachings to honor her, and thus came to this Way. (Might hide his book a bit more.)
[07:13] <%Sheng> Sheng doesnt notice the book
[07:13] <%Sheng> i like this bot
[07:13] <Anami> *Anami look at the ronin to see what are they doing, and then approaches Ryuno, Sato and Sheng* "Shouldn't we proceed in our way, it's a bout midday now... and this time of the year we only have 4 or 5 more hours of light"
[07:13] <Takabe> When the village caught fire I was with the Ronin. It would bring me honor to solve this mystery.
[07:15] <Anami> [ignore last message... I n00bed]
[07:15] <%Sheng> Anami, we journey tomorrow, where the light of the gods can aid us
[07:16] <%Sheng> "We are grateful of your assistance, Master Takabe"
[07:16] * Sheng looks at Ryuno
[07:17] <Takabe> I shall take first watch with Imara the Grand.
[07:17] * Ryuno is already fast asleep
[07:18] <Anami> "Lemme take the second watch"
[07:18] <%Sheng> "Hmmm"
[07:18] <%Sheng> "Alright, daughter Anami, you take second watch"
[07:18] * Anami looks at Ryuno: "Ryuno stays with the third"
[07:19] * Ryuno snores
[07:19] <%Sheng> soon, everyone is sleeping... fitfully
[07:20] <Anami> !roll 4df if something happens during the night
[07:20] <@ChanServ> 1 == 1
[07:20] <Ryuno> Anami rolls 4df on if something happens during the night and gets (-)(+)(-)(+) Fair
[07:21] <%Sheng> 50/50 then
[07:22] <%Sheng> "Gaaaaah! a stupid bug bit me!"
[07:22] * Anami is a deep sleeper
[07:22] <Ryuno> "sheng! why do you always have to wake me up?"
[07:23] <%Sheng> "Sorry, brother Ryuno... the bite hurts"
[07:23] <Anami> "...mommy..."
[07:24] <Ryuno> "never mind, i'm always a bit grumpy when i wake up, forgive my harsh speaking"
[07:24] <%Sheng> "Wake up, Anami"
[07:24] <%Sheng> "Its your watch"
[07:24] <%Sheng> "All is well, Ryuno"
[07:24] <Ryuno> "you sleep through your watch? do you want us to get killed?"
[07:24] <Anami> "..sure, sure..." *yawns*
[07:24] <Takabe> All is well.
[07:25] <Ryuno> "thank the spirits you are with us takabe"
[07:25] * Anami stands up for her watch
[07:25] * Sheng keeps one eye open during Anami's watch
[07:25] <Takabe> settles down for his rest.
[07:25] <Anami> !roll 4df if does something happen during my watch
[07:25] <@ChanServ> 1 == 1
[07:25] <Ryuno> Anami rolls 4df on if does something happen during my watch and gets (+)(+)(+)(+) Legendary
[07:25] <Anami> [o my god]
[07:26] <Takabe> just /just/ when i relax
[07:27] <%Sheng> Anami is sitting on a rock...
[07:27] <%Sheng> blinking repeatedly...
[07:27] <%Sheng> on her next blink, she sees a face... a grey face
[07:28] <Anami> "YAAAAAAY!!!!!!!"
[07:28] <Takabe> springs to /ready/
[07:28] ->> You are now known as Greyman
[07:28] * Anami grabs her hammer!
[07:28] <%Greyman> You are still here, younglings?
[07:29] <Takabe> Shey shee, grandfather. What are your intentions?
[07:29] <%Greyman> I told you to go home
[07:29] * Anami takes a deep breath
[07:29] <%Greyman> We were ambushed there...
[07:29] <%Greyman> but safely retreated
[07:29] <Takabe> We were given this task. It would be ... dishonorable.
[07:30] <%Greyman> Ahhh. your petty "honor"
[07:30] <Anami> "There is nothing 'petty' in being honored"
[07:30] * Ryuno snores loudly, then smacks
[07:31] <Anami> "What 'ambush' by the way ?"
[07:31] <%Greyman> We, who have lived here long before you hyuumans, have this "honor"... you childlings dont know what it really is
[07:31] <Takabe> Prods Ryuno with end of staff. Wake.
[07:31] <Ryuno> "oww!"
[07:32] <Takabe> (sotto voice) Sorry. Trouble.
[07:32] <%Greyman> Our night eyes are good... but something crept up on us...
[07:32] <%Greyman> tried to overwhelm us...
[07:32] <Anami> "Where?"
[07:32] <Takabe> (To Greyman) The Abomination?
[07:33] <%Greyman> yes, on that "Abomination"
[07:33] <Takabe> OOC
[07:33] * Anami faces Takabe and whisper: "They call that creep this way"
[07:34] <%Greyman> We cannot perceive what attacked us
[07:34] <%Greyman> It befuddles our skills
[07:34] <Anami> "Where did it happened?! How far away from here?!!"
[07:35] <Anami> *happen
[07:35] <%Greyman> It happended as we neared your devastated town
[07:36] * Anami faces Sheng, with a preoccupied expression
[07:36] <%Greyman> We must now return to our King! I advise you to do the same... go back
[07:36] ->> You are now known as Sheng
[07:37] <%Sheng> "This bodes ill for our mission"
[07:37] * Sheng bows low for the greymen
[07:37] <Takabe> (See's Anami's look.) You think nature is out of balance? The Abomination was created, not conjured?
[07:37] <%Sheng> "I thank you for your concern"
[07:39] <Anami> "I'm not even sure what this is master Takabe... maybe Ryuno could give you a more proper opinion... I just worry for our safety..."
[07:41] <Anami> [no worries]
[07:41] <%Sheng> "Master Ryuno? What do we do?"
[07:41] <Ryuno> "i'd need a proper laboratory to examine this properly"
[07:42] <Ryuno> "it doesn't seem to be too dangerous though"
[07:42] <Takabe> Is there a la.. labratory here?
[07:43] <Ryuno> "i dont think there is anything usable for such a task anywhere near us"
[07:43] <Ryuno> !roll 4df is there a laboratory ryuno does not know of? (average-1)
[07:43] <@ChanServ> 1 == 1
[07:43] <Ryuno> Ryuno rolls 4df on is there a laboratory ryuno does not know of? (average-1) and gets (-)(-)( )(+) Mediocre
[07:44] <%Sheng> "The greymen are gone!?!"
[07:45] <Anami> "It seems so..."
[07:45] <%Sheng> "Anami, you cannot 'cook and guard' anymore!"
[07:45] <Ryuno> "if they can go in there, so can we!"
[07:45] <Anami> "I'm sorry Father..."
[07:45] <Ryuno> "just think of the secrets we might discover!"
[07:45] <%Sheng> "What about the ambushers?"
[07:45] <Anami> "I worry for our safety Ryuno..."
[07:45] <Takabe> If we can go there, I stand to guard you.
[07:46] <Takabe> The other Ronin, too. Right, men?
[07:46] <%Sheng> the ronin bow
[07:46] <%Sheng> "We live for honor"
[07:47] <Anami> "Maybe there is powerful magic involved..."
[07:47] <Ryuno> "yes! let's go!"
[07:48] <Ryuno> "the girl is right!"
[07:48] <Anami> "Lets wait for the sunrise, Ryuno"
[07:48] <%Sheng> "We go by morning!"
[07:48] <%Sheng> "Yes, sunrise is good"
[07:48] <Takabe> OOC
[07:49] <%Sheng> the sun rises without incident
[07:49] <%Sheng> the party quickly leaves camp...
[07:49] <%Sheng> as they break thru the forest edge...
[07:49] <%Sheng> they see the valley...
[07:50] <Anami> !roll 4df if it starts to rain again
[07:50] <@ChanServ> 1 == 1
[07:50] <Ryuno> Anami rolls 4df on if it starts to rain again and gets (+)( )( )( ) Good
[07:50] <%Sheng> in the middle, they see the devastated town
[07:50] <%Sheng> too far to see details but enough to see the 'creep' has overrun the town
[07:52] <%Sheng> its still raining, lightly
[07:52] <%Sheng> but the sky is still dark
[07:54] <Takabe> Takabe: roll !4dF on Good Perception
[07:54] <Takabe> roll !4dF
[07:54] <+BoxCars> Takabe rolls !4dF and gets ( )(-)(-)( ) Poor
[07:56] <Takabe> !roll 4df+Good
[07:56] <@ChanServ> 1 == 1
[07:56] <Ryuno> Takabe rolls 4df+Good and gets (+)( )(-)(-) Fair
[07:58] <%Sheng> as the party stands, looking over the valley, Anami notices something!
[07:58] <%Sheng> the creeping thing is not here!
[07:59] <%Sheng> its gone
[08:00] <%Sheng> "The 'creep' has receded!"
[08:00] <Takabe> I do not understand!
[08:00] <Anami> "Neither do I... Ryuno...what that means?"
[08:01] <Anami> "Lets stay alert... something could be lurking nearby..."
[08:01] <%Sheng> the remaining creep can be seen receeding back into the town
[08:01] <%Sheng> the party is just standing on the muddy terrain
[08:02] <Ryuno> "it probably served it's purpose"
[08:02] <Takabe> (Looks. *No* growth?)
[08:02] <Ryuno> "and is no longer needed now"
[08:02] <%Sheng> all you see is the muddy ground and grass
[08:03] <%Sheng> Sato "And we're supposed to go there???"
[08:03] <%Sheng> cool. thanks Takabe/Jtim
[08:03] ->> You are now known as jlcsusara

[08:04] <WarLord> ahahahah
[08:04] <%jlcsusara> thanks, all
[08:04] <Cathrak> hm yeah, 2 channels at once is a bit cumbersome
[08:04] <JTim> It was strange.
[08:04] <Cathrak> ooc in braces works better imho
[08:04] <Cathrak> but the game was great
[08:04] <JTim> I would occassionally flip over to see if there was a comment.
[08:05] <%jlcsusara> somewhat surreal
[08:05] <WarLord> we could stay with only one channel...but two would make the log nicer
[08:05] <%jlcsusara>
[08:05] <%jlcsusara> we'll try again next time
[08:05] <%jlcsusara> Cathrak, can you put a "YES or NO" with the odds questions
[08:06] <%jlcsusara> ?
[08:06] <Cathrak> how would the output look like?
[08:06] <Cathrak> ah, ok, got it now
[08:06] <Cathrak> i'll think of something
[08:06] <%jlcsusara> ok
[08:06] <JTim> I had my text file open with the odds questions and yes no.
[08:06] <Cathrak> it has to know it's an odds question first ;-)
[08:06] <%jlcsusara> any comments, JTim?
[08:07] <JTim> None at the moment.
[08:07] <JTim> I'll log on (in the morning for me, evening for you).
