(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: Encyclopedia Dramatica, Tristin.
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: I find stuff like that all the time there.
(5) Anthony: ED is erictile disfunction. "can't get it up" in other words

(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: rofl
(8) Eve: damn skippy.
(5) Anthony: But Looking For Group is my current favorite
(2) Tristin: Pirates are cool and all but....
(8) Eve: Yall are just jealous cause ninjas can't drink rum.
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Ninjas drink sake!
(2) Tristin: Yup
(8) Eve: Nope.
(8) Eve: Ninjas aren't allowed to drink
(5) Anthony: you ever read Looking for Group?
(8) Eve: Its about WoW right.
(2) Tristin: And why not?
(5) Anthony: No, not even remotely
(8) Eve: Its against their Ninja codes
(5) Anthony: I thought that too
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Ninjas can have sex suspended from a ceiling. Pirates are lucky to keep balance while walking a plank
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: Win
(8) Eve: Ninjas aren't allowed to have sex either.
(5) Anthony: this is what got me to start reading it. v
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): then where do more ninjas come from?
(5) Anthony: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE2g
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: Ninjas can do whatever they want.
(8) Eve: And if they fail a mission they have to kill themselves.
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): thats samurai
(2) Tristin: Not nessisarily.
(8) Eve: Orphans I would guess.
(2) Tristin: Yeah, more Samuri thing.
(8) Eve: Pff what ninja movies have you been watching Dante?
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): vampire scouts > ninjas
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: Movies? Bah. Who needs movies?
(8) Eve: So.. Ninjas eat vampire scoutes?
(2) Tristin: Yeah but..... pizza pwns vampires... soo...
(8) Eve: Were are you getting your ninja lore?
(8) Eve: geeze..
(8) Eve: *where
(2) Tristin: wiki..
(2) Tristin: and askaninja.com
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: Askaninja was a little funny
(2) Tristin: I think he's pretty funny, particularly the "omni" episodes.
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Anyway, fellas. The red squiggle indicates your position. You are approximately 40 miles from border between Slovenia and Hungary, you're about a mile off the highway, in a wasteland looking clearing, dry dirty ground, packed and dusty, shielded by a hill on one side and some trees on the other, a dirt road leads back to the highway. You have been previously awake for almost an entire day, so, you made camp and fell asleep. Anthony put a spell on local insects to be protective of the van.
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Insects.. to protect the van??))
(2) Tristin: (Have you ever been stung?)
(5) Anthony: (( they think of the van as a hive kinda. Easy to manipulate hive minds ))
(2) Tristin: ((That shit hurts))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Yes, I have. I just wonder why the van needs protection))
(5) Anthony: (( we're hive members, the van is hive, they protect it ))
(8) Eve: Cause we aren't in Kansas anymore?))
(5) Anthony: (( cause look what happened a few hours ago with the shoot out?
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((omg! WHEN DID WE LEAVE?))
(2) Tristin: ((Tristin's from... nevermind...))
(5) Anthony: (( how soon they forget ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): As you sleep, all your current active spells drop. So new scene.
(2) Tristin: ((*Summons TEH BOX*))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Yeah, I read it.))

New Command added
/box '/box': Displays the current settings OR '/box *text*': Displays *text* in the box.

New Command added
/quotebox TYPE /QUOTEBOX TO BEGIN. Loads up a help node into gametree.
** (8) Eve starts to chant "Box, box, box, box, box, box, box" **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM):

Wakey wakey for Episode 14!

** (5) Anthony makes sure eve is comfortable, can breath easily,etc.. **
(5) Anthony: "Well, there doesn't seem to be anythign medically wrong with her. So it seems to be something magical. I dont' now, she seems... empty. maybe she tried to cast with no mana? I don't know."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The first of you to wake up realizes you've been asleep for 8 hours. You went to bed at 1 afternoon, so now it is evening, 9pm
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo blinks a few times before sitting up, stretching. **
(5) Anthony: (( so we just let eve .. umm.. remain undead? ))
** (5) Anthony yawns **
(2) Tristin: ((Zombie Eve!))
** (5) Anthony checks on eve **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Eve is breathing steadily, her vitals are normal, her pupils are not dialating because you cannot see them - her eyes are filled with black
** (2) Tristin blinks awake, realizing he must have dozed off while looking for a cure for Eve. **
** (8) Eve sits/lays still=ly **
(5) Anthony: "No one here really knows prime do they?"
** (2) Tristin looks at the page he fell asleep while reading. **
(5) Anthony: "I'm thinking maybe a hollow would help her."
(2) Tristin: "No.. that's Kurt's bit."
(5) Anthony: "I guess if I'm going to be a mage doctor I should start to learn prime"
** (7) Robin stirs awake from the conversation, sleepily blinky for a moment **
** (5) Anthony sighs **
** (5) Anthony scratches his beard stubble **
(5) Anthony: "Okay... well. I don't know. Maybe she needs mana but how do we get it to her, give it to her?"
(5) Anthony: "I've never set up a quentescince drip."
(8) Eve: ((*Snicker*))
(5) Anthony: (( lol. why did I just think of looking at Tristin after I said that ))
(7) Robin: "Oh right. I think I volunteered for that."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Tristin, you find notes on mental overloads for different arcana - they occur rarely and accidentally when a certain individual exceeds capacity for their abilities as a result of an elevated spike of power. More commonly they happen during awakenings, which is why only one out of ten mages successfully awakens instead of collapsing to his death. But other times such overloads may happen to an awakened mage, as a potential result of increased magical progress or a will breaking attempts. Some cases were known to be temporary, others were known to stay permanent. Often times, influence of the same arcana as the one which put a mage into the state of short, may jumpstart them back
(2) Tristin: ((v.v))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo stands slowly and stretches from head to toe, then looks around to find a wooded area in which to relieve himself. **
(8) Eve: ((yay I'm screwed!))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Dante, you walk out of the van?
(8) Eve: ((:D jk))
(5) Anthony: (( naw, he's sayign when you die you'll be fine since it was death that put you here. ))
** (2) Tristin looks up from the book **
(2) Tristin: "Ahha!"
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Yes... I figured that was implied by looking for somewhere to relieve himself))
(8) Eve: ((ohh.. then I really can be zombie eve))
(5) Anthony: "Hmm? Find anything?"
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((wait, we all fell asleep in the van? Oh, that's right))
(2) Tristin: "We need to expose her to the Arcana that put her in the coma.."
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Nevermind))
(8) Eve: ((Unless you are one of those fetish types to likes peeing -on- people.. we really don't know Dante that well yet.))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((WOODED... AREA >_>))
(5) Anthony: "What was she casting when she went into the coma? Anyone know? But she looks like death so I'm almost positive it's a death spell."
(2) Tristin: "That would be my guess too..."
(5) Anthony: "So, we need a death mage. Or death."
(5) Anthony: "I can summon spirits, not ghosts."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Dante, over the van you see a swarm of various insects, territorially guarding the van, but avoiding you completely. In about 30 feet from the van, in the trees, you see a foraging black bear
(2) Tristin: "I think she would be petrified or something if she overloaded on Matter.."
(5) Anthony: 'I can barely see ghosts."
** (2) Tristin shows Tony the page he found. **
** (7) Robin stretches in her seat. **
(5) Anthony: "Hmm... okay... so she overloaded on the arcana it soudns like. Sounds more like the psychological field then medical, but I did have to take some classes."
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo looks in the opposite direction to find an area of treelife that isn't currently being inhabited by bears. **
(5) Anthony: "So she maybe is trapped in a death... state, mindset, spell, something."
(5) Anthony: "Which needs to be... gotten into, interupted, added to."
** (5) Anthony looks around **
(5) Anthony: "Anyone else have any death arcana at all?
** (2) Tristin shakes his head. **
** (7) Robin shrugs, "no." **
** (5) Anthony contemplates **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Dante, you find a nice place. The insects are distracting, but you find it. A small hole in the ground beneath a tree stump
(2) Tristin: "Thinking about studying it.... Wouldn't it be awesome to revive some Shao-Lin monks to help me fight?"
(5) Anthony: 'I could stop her heart for a second, but then if I couldn't get it started again she'd probably be a little pissed."
(5) Anthony: "not to mention the chance of brain damage."
(7) Robin: "Pissed, at the least."
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((What?? Not that kind of relief, sheesh))
(5) Anthony: 'Maybe I could summon a spirit whould could find a ghost who woudl.. umm. yeah, that aint' gonna work."
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo relieves himself and returns to the van. **
(7) Robin: "Or maybe happy all the time, depending on the level of brain damage, if any."
(5) Anthony: "Actually, at my current level of magical learning, I could heal brain damage."
(5) Anthony: "Heck, I could make an animal out of.. dirt."
** (7) Robin looks nervously at Eve. **
(5) Anthony: "But the synapsis might be lost
(5) Anthony: "Okay...did you try contacting her mind at all?"
(5) Anthony: "Although I think it's her spirit that's probably trapped."
(7) Robin: "Hmm, no. Worth a shot, though."
(5) Anthony: "Or soul as the case may be."
(5) Anthony: "Try as hard as you can to read her mind, get in there, or soething."
(7) Robin: "Alright, I'll try."
** (7) Robin rubs her eyes sleepily. **
(5) Anthony: (( with life sight can I see if she has brain activity? Even if I couldnt' decipher it beyound mned school beta waves, etc.. ))
** (7) Robin leans over to **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((her brain is in perfect biological activity. her spirit is overwhelmed by Death, it embraces her inner essense, to spirit sight that is.))
(7) Robin: ...Eve, putting her palm aon Eve's forhead like a mother checking a childs temperature
(5) Anthony: (( I forget what my inferior is. I get the feelling it's death though ))
(7) Robin: [8d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [6,5,8,6,[10, 1],4,6,3] = (2)
(7) Robin: ((telepathy))
(7) Robin: ((resolve+gnosis to resist))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((that's 5 dice))
(7) Robin: ((mind 4+gnosis4))
(5) Anthony: (( is it reflexive or selective? ))
(8) Eve: [5d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [2,2,7,4,1] = (0)
(7) Robin: ((refelx))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Robin, what is your stamina?
(8) Eve: ((lame the roll I accidentally did to Dante was better))
(5) Anthony: (( alctuallhy, you WANTED to fail ))
(5) Anthony: (( if you succeeded she couldn't of read your mind ))
(7) Robin: ((3))
(2) Tristin: ((*Munches his cookie*))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): 10-3 =7
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): [7 d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [9,4,2,1,4,1,6] = (1)
(2) Tristin: ((*Sees the roll* WHAT ARE YOU PLOTTING?!?!?! *hides*))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((The who what? >_>))
(2) Tristin: ((Ther're a Brittish rock band))
(8) Eve: ((indeed, fairly popular in the 80's and early 90's))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((*turns around* Where, where??))
(8) Eve: ((all over the world but mostly the UK and USA))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((I know who The Who is >_> I was questioning Eve's accidental roll against dante?))
(5) Anthony: (( My brother had a few of The Who's albums ))
(8) Eve: ((*grin*))
(8) Eve: ((was an accident was suppose to roll it in here))
(5) Anthony: (( was *not* supposed to roll it in here you mean? ))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: (( o.o;; *worries* ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Robin, you get into Eve's mind. You see a clear image of darkness in your eyes. It's not just absense of light, it's thick darkness. You hear an absense of sound, a ghastly stale silence, like a silence after a gunshot or a rotten leaf falling on the ground... you can hear Eve's breathing. Then, the darkness starts coming upon you, you begin to choke but you manage to escape the state. To observers, Robin's eyes go misty black for 3-4 seconds, but she coughs and recovers, snapping out of it.
(8) Eve: ((No I was suppose to roll it in the main room, but I had a tab to dante opened by accident))
(2) Tristin: "Robin!"
** (5) Anthony looks concerned, "What happened? Your eyes went hte same as hers. " **
(8) Eve: ((cool I'm contagious))
** (7) Robin drops her hand limply from Eve's head. **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Y'all starting to get hungry
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((oh... tabs.. yeah... I totally knew there was a tab open between us, really!))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo is getting hungry. **
** (2) Tristin 's stomach rumbles **
(7) Robin: "That was an unpleasant feeling...very. We need to help Eve, I think I felt what she is feeling..."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The bear looks at Dante, studying, then at the insects, it stands on its back paws, and straightens up, low growls coming up in its maw
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo looks to Robin, then to Eve. **
(2) Tristin: "Are you okay now though?"
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((I.. returned to the van?))
(5) Anthony: "If she does not snap out of it soon she will need to be put on suport, feeding tubes, and such."
(5) Anthony: (( do I hear the bear growl? ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Robin, the feeling you carried out of Eve's mind is that she is not attacked, rather... cloaked, her mind was at peace and stillness. As if it was shielding her from your influence.
** (7) Robin nods. "That was scary. I suppose it was like entering a dead person's mind...something like that." **
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Pooh Bear wants honey!))
(2) Tristin: ((Oh bother))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The Bear was eyeing Dante ever since he stopped releaving himself, so now he'd be growling at the van
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((hahah))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Gotcha))
(8) Eve: ((yall are just canned meat to it right now :D))
(5) Anthony: (( he thinks we're a bee hive. lol ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Oh yeah, Tony, you see, hear, and feel the bear. Now you all do.
(2) Tristin: ((Great, he relived himself with the hole in the stump so the bear got interested...))
(2) Tristin: "What the hell is that sound?

(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Tony, it's a 7 year old male bear, matured, his vitals normal though he isnt quite happy in this suburban polluted environment, he feeds on plants, berries and food scraps
(5) Anthony: Go away.
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo looks out the window of the van, toward the bear. **
(5) Anthony: Go away.
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The bear turns around, and leaves.
(5) Anthony: grr. dumb italics not working
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Crisis averted!))
(2) Tristin: "Oh... it's... leaving...." *looking out the window*
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo watches the bear leave, arching an eyebrow as he feels the familiar tingle of magic being cast. **
** (7) Robin watches the bear leave through the window **
(8) Eve: ((that was reason number 123 why you should take a life mage with you while camping))
(5) Anthony: "Well, if you come acorss a medical supply store or hospital let me know, I may need to stock up on saline solution. Hmm.. I wonder if I could do that with magic."
(2) Tristin: ((Number one is fishing is a joke..))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The bear looks back once, licking his maw at the van and all those bees near it, but strides away
(5) Anthony: "I'm hesitant to cast any spells on eve rihgt now because I'm not sure what that might do."
(2) Tristin: "Does the page say anything about opposing magics?"
(5) Anthony: "Which page?"
** (2) Tristin points to the book he let Tony see. **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): It does not specify that another arcana would necessarily help the state.
(5) Anthony: "Hmm... no. Althogh prime might help as it's like the super arcana, but no one here knows prime anwyay."
(5) Anthony: "Nor death."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The arcana themselves, together, complete a spectrum, with each individual having allignments stronger towards some, and weaker towards others, making their use inferior to their resonanse, however the arcana do not war or oppose each other, rather control different aspects of being
(5) Anthony: "Optimally we need a Moros."
(5) Anthony: (( moros is death right? ))
(8) Eve: ((and matter and prime))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): A powerful charge from the same arcana could, in some cases, jump start the mage to exit the overload.
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((prime is not moros))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((prime is obrimos))
(8) Eve: ((oh thats right each one has 2 not 3))
(5) Anthony: (( my inferior is mind incicdnetly ))
(5) Anthony: (( yeah, a good obrimos would knwo waht to do maybe ))
(5) Anthony: "Hmm. only two other moros I know we sent off into a hell dimentions place."
** (5) Anthony looks at eve, "We don't seem to have a good track record when it comes to Moros." **
(5) Anthony: "Abandon home, all ye Moros here."
(5) Anthony: *hope
(5) Anthony: "Well, its obvoius we need a moros mage. We don't have one."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): A ravem caws in the sky dramatically
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): raven*
** (5) Anthony looks at the raven **
(5) Anthony: "Hmm.. weren't ravens said to be messengers of the dead?"
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): raven soars in the sky before flapping repeatedly and heading towards the forest
(2) Tristin: "Dunno... it's a poem.."
(5) Anthony: (( dang, I lost my rote for my talk with animals spells I made up ))
(5) Anthony: (( it was... damn. ))
(8) Eve: ((no thats crows, ravens are usually associated with wisdom))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((i dont have it either :/ ))
(5) Anthony: (( it was... soemthign + lower of life or spirit + something ))
(2) Tristin: ((Nevermore))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): the dirt road you're on, leads in two directions, deeper into the prarie, or back to the highway, which goes across to the border with Hungary in one direction, and back to urban areas of Slovenia on the other

(2) Tristin: ((It fails, but your brain makes up words the animals are saying))
** (5) Anthony looks at the raven **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): the raven makes a turn and looks back
(5) Anthony: "Hi.. " Tony peers closely, "Mister raven. "
** (5) Anthony shrugs **
(5) Anthony: "Follow the raven."
(1) Raven: "Mister Raven is my grandpa. Call me Tom. What's up"
(5) Anthony: "Who's driving?"
(7) Robin: "Me, I guess."
(5) Anthony: "Be on your guard, it might be a trap."
(7) Robin: "You want me to follow the bird?"
(5) Anthony: "Any better ideas?"
(5) Anthony: "maybe we'll find a graveyard at the least."
** (7) Robin shrugs. "Alright." **
** (7) Robin turns the engine over and starts down the dirt path after the bird. **
(5) Anthony: "At this point we have to find a hospital, or a medical supply store, or a cemetary, or someone who knows death magic."
(5) Anthony: "And lunch. Can't forget lunch."
** (5) Anthony 's stomach loudly agrees **
** (1) Raven circles around casually, around the van, then lands on the tree nearby **
** (5) Anthony sighs **
(1) Raven: "Can I help you?"
(5) Anthony: "Mister Raven. Can you understand me?"
(1) Raven: "Uuuh, yaah? Like I said, it's Tom."
** (7) Robin focuses on the trees around her, placing everything specifically in the plane of space. ((spactial awerness space4+gnosis4)) **
(5) Anthony: "We are not local to this area. We have a sick person and we need to find a mage like us."
(7) Robin: [8d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [7,8,8,[10, 6],9,4,4,4] = (4)
(5) Anthony: "Do you knwo of any?"
(5) Anthony: "We need one dealing in death. or a hollow. although I am not sure you'd knwo what that was.,"
** (5) Anthony ponders **
(2) Tristin: ((do we hear you?))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo nods to Tony at the comment about lunch, patting his stomach once. ((Good question)) **
(5) Anthony: (( no, I'm speaking to it's spirit ))
(1) Raven: "Oh definitely! I bet frank can help you. One time Lindsey and Pak-Pak found this juicy roadkill, a total fox, right? Well, Frank... damn, he made that thing disappear in a matter of minutes, he's a mage alright."
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((lmao))
** (5) Anthony smiles **
(5) Anthony: "Not quite that type. It's hard to explain that you woudl understand."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Robin, you got the spacial map down. For you to get lost in these wastelands, someone would have seriously mess with the space structure.
** (5) Anthony speaks to Uchawi, Uchawi, how wouldy ou explain mages to a birdl like this raven? **
** (7) Robin lets the van idle near the tree the bird is sitting on **
(1) Uchawi: "Honestly? I wouldn't even begin to try. To them, you're an equal if you converse like their equal."
(5) Anthony: "Miter Raven, do you know of any humans who heal animals eaisly?"
** (5) Anthony mumb,es, "Dang, tha'ts life, not death" **
(5) Anthony: sigh
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Mister Raven... how many licks does it take to get to the tootsie roll center ofa tootsie pop?))
(8) Eve: (( :D!!!))
(2) Tristin: ((hehe))
(1) Uchawi: "But I suppose 'I am a creature in all way superior to you, an ultimate predator who surpassed the average level of complexity and development of its species, and learned to bend the shape of reality, now help me or I will destroy you."
(1) Uchawi: "would work"
(8) Eve: ((Ohh.. I really want to see a spirit parrot destroy a raven..))
(8) Eve: ((that would be cool))
(5) Anthony: "Raven, we have a sick friend we need to make better .. .I am not sure I can express what I"m looking for so that you could understand it. Sorry to waste your time."
(7) Robin: ((throw some crackers inbetween them, maybe it'll start something ))
(1) Raven: "Well, for the third time. Mister Raven just sounds lame, alright? I don't even have kids yet. Name's Tom. As for humans who heal animals... when did you see that happen?"
(5) Anthony: "Hmm.. I wonder if a spirt would konw of a hollow. If there is a hollwo there woudl be mages right?
(1) Raven: "Oooh a sick friend? Can I have their eyes?"
(5) Anthony: "I heal aniamls."
(2) Tristin: "Possibly."
(5) Anthony: "yes, her eyes are black. Thsi one."
** (1) Raven flaps down from the tree branch and lands on the ground near the van, eyeing the insect swarm **
** (5) Anthony rolls down the window so the raven can see Eve's eyes **
(5) Anthony: 'Oh, sorry, let me get rid of them.
** (5) Anthony drops that swarm spell **
(5) Anthony: (( and a nanao second after hitting enter ralized I should of told them to go away first. doh ))
(1) Raven: "Oooh, sweet! That's delicious. I haven't had an fresh dead eye in a long time. Those 5 day old porcupines only give me a heartburn"
** (1) Raven jumps over to the van and sits on Eve's lap **
(5) Anthony: 'I said sick, not dead."
(2) Tristin: "What's he doing?"
(1) Raven: "Can I have em when she's dead?"
** (8) Eve sits there limply **
(5) Anthony: "You have my word." Tony rolls the window back up
(5) Anthony: "He wanted to see her eyes to see how tasty they wuld be."
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo eyes the raven inside the van. **
(5) Anthony: (( the raven was outisde right? )0
(1) Raven: ((he didnt want to SEE her eyes, he wanted to HAVE her eyes, big difference to a raven))
(2) Tristin: "Uhh.... I thought we were trying to wake her up.."
(7) Robin: "Uhhh, get him outa here...."
(1) Raven: (( yes, but then you rolled down the window, dropped the swarm, and now he is inside))
(5) Anthony: "Okay, good bye raven. Til we meet again."
** (8) Eve currently has a raven sitting in her lap eying her eyeballs as a snack. **
(1) Raven: "Wha? You mean ol' Tom doesnt get a snack?"
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Eyeballs - They're like gobstoppers to ravens!))
(5) Anthony: "She's not dead yet. WE need to get busy finding a way to heal her. Take care."
(1) Raven: "Alright. Peace out." - tried to fly away. hits the window glass, passes out
(8) Eve: ((LOL!))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo smacks his forehead. "Now we have a pet to tend to." **
(2) Tristin: "Um...."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): congrats, you now have an unconscious raven on the floor
** (7) Robin sighs. **
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: "So, what was that all about?"
(7) Robin: "I guess we're putting dead animals in Eve's lap to make her feel better?"
(8) Eve: ((ROFL))
** (7) Robin pokes the bird. **
** (2) Tristin snickers **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): the bird's alive but kinda limp
(2) Tristin: "Did you animal-control him into doing that, because that was awesome."
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: "Half-dead bird aside, what's our gameplan here? I doubt staying in this forest is getting Eve the help she needs. Its not like she needs fresh air."
** (7) Robin sigh "You guys want to find some breakfast/dinner or something?" **
(8) Eve: (mmm breafast/dinner the best meal of the day))
(10) Anthony (enter): 19:25
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): You recall a cafe type place by the highway
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (10) Anthony...

(10) Anthony: (( but you said gte bird landed on teh ground by the van, never saw hwen you said it entered, so I wouldn't of rolled the window up til it was out ))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((It landed on Eve's lap XD))

(10) Anthony: (( worst placement of snooze key EVA ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ** (1) Raven jumps over to the van and sits on Eve's lap **
(11) Tristin: ((What about in place of the spacebar?))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ^ since eve is inside, raven came inside))
** (10) Anthony opens the window and letst he bird out **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): the bird falls out
(10) Anthony: "I think our best bet is a hollow if I knew how to find one. Look for atlantian runes."
(7) Robin: "Ouch..."
(8) Eve: ((Because it is unconsious from smacking into the window the first time :D))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((poor Tom. I hope for his sake that he's not a recurring character))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((totally will be Tony's guilt trip))
(8) Eve: 1) Raven: "Alright. Peace out." - tried to fly away. hits the window glass, passes out
(10) Anthony: (( Like I said, if he was inside I wuldn't of closed it. ))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: "Atlantian what?"
(7) Robin: "I was thinking of stopping by a cafe we passed near the highway."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): (( aaaw but its funny that way :D ))
(11) Tristin: ((Then he hits the windshield))
(10) Anthony: "Atlantean ruins. These things. " Tony shows some of the ruins in the book
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo observes the ruins. "Oh, ruins. I thought you said runes. My mistake." **
(10) Anthony: "Runes. characters."
(10) Anthony: "like letters but ancient."
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((OKay, so now they are runes. got it))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo nods once. **
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: "And where would we be looking for them?"
(10) Anthony: "On bulidings above door is wehre they usually are for a marked hollow t think. Well, the one hollwo I know of has one there."
(10) Anthony: "You need mage sight up to see them usually"
(10) Anthony: "But it seems any sight will se them "
(8) Eve: ((just a note Kassies hollow is not marked with runes))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo nods again. "I will keep an open eye then." **
(10) Anthony: "Eithe rway, we need to either get to someone who can cast a death spell on eve, or someplace I can buy some sailine solution so she doesn't die of thirst."
(11) Tristin: ((Yeah, didn't think I remembered that as part of the discription.))
(10) Anthony: (( yeah, oh, wait, that is antoher campaign? ))
(10) Anthony: (( does this campaign have the bar as a hollow? ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): (( nope. lol ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): (( well, not one we seen yet))
(10) Anthony: (( Daren, that's Terralthra's campaign ))
(8) Eve: ((i know where one is IC though))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((we have Kassidy's Hollow in New Haven and Swimming Pool in Rome Hotel))
(10) Anthony: (( so I don't know fi I've seen any runes on buildings at all then ))
(8) Eve: ((you may have theoretically read about them))
(10) Anthony: (( so I'm not sure if my char would know to look for runes ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((yup))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((i think the contents of The Books are Claire's to call))
(10) Anthony: "Well, I've heard mages sometimes mark places with runes."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((if there is a pic of a hollow, then sure))
(10) Anthony: (( what? ))
(11) Tristin: ((Cool, you can just make shit up to get us out of a jam.))
(8) Eve: ((I desribed the books as basically anything in the White Wolf Mage book so if it says stuff about runes he could know about it))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((sweet. deal!))
(8) Eve: ((provided he actually read about the runes that is))
(10) Anthony: (( yeah, I don't think it does, that's how it was in terralthra's campaign, the hollow were normally marked wiht runes above the door ))
(10) Anthony: (( don't think it's described that way in the white wolf book ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((well, one we knew was. and it was guarded and was a peace turf.))
(8) Eve: ((some hollows might be marked, depends on the hollow, who owns it and what they use it for))
(10) Anthony: (( kassidy'es wasnt marked was it? ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((i bet not every mage wants their hollow marked. the guy in Terr's campaign belonged to Free Council, guys who believe magic should be public))
(10) Anthony: (( and the pool wasn't marked? ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((no and no))
(10) Anthony: (( so what, I gotta chant, "Calling doctor bombay, doctor bombay, come right away"
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((but in the Book, you would find description of factions - Adamantine Arrow, Silver Ladder, and Free Council, and Free Council would be noted for marking public hollows, so it's possible to get that knowledge out of the books, if you look for it IC))
(10) Anthony: (( tony is going to read everything he can on hollows to try to figure out how to find one ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): So, Robin, you driving back to the highway? Whats the situation?
(10) Anthony: (( academcis roll? ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((yeah, int + academics))
(7) Robin: (so far i'm still just idling, no one has responded to my comment of heading to the cafe))
(8) Eve: ((totally wants a cheeseburger and chocolate shake... but is dead so can't tell you that..))
(11) Tristin: "So where are we going to find a Moros?"
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((No, silly, Death))
(10) Anthony: int 3 + academcis 1 [4d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [2,7,4,7] = (0)
** (1) Uchawi points to Eve at Tristin's comment **
(8) Eve: ((nyah!))
(10) Anthony: "Hmm. I think a hollow is an empty place whre qintessince gathers"
(11) Tristin: "Thanks Uchawi.... I mean another one."
(8) Eve: ((what is he pointing with his beak or his wing?))
** (7) Robin shrugs. **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((his talon))
(10) Anthony: "Hey Uchawi, you know of any way to find a hollow?"
(10) Anthony: (( ahh,t he old, why the hell did he get a familiar that was knoweldge based moment ))
(1) Uchawi: "There are several ways theoretically to find it. The simplest one is using Prime Sight, the Supernal Vision, which points them out right away. Other ways more or less depend on the keeper of a Hollow. Some want their to be public, like the Free Council members, others, like the Silver Ladder or the Guardians of The Veil - prefer to give specific symbols recognizable to the members of those circles. Mercenaries, like the members of Adamantine Arrow, are know to use keywords and special language to transmit location coordinates of their Hollows. Your best bet without Supernal Vision, is to look for Free Council and ask their help."
(10) Anthony: "Oh. Right. Okay. So next questin. What ist he best way to look for the Free Council?"
** (7) Robin fiddles with the radio, looking for a news station. **
(8) Eve: ((you mean translator?))
(1) Uchawi: "Well... that is not quite an encyclopedic question. I am not the best psychologist. I am a parrot with a phenomenal memory. What do you know about Free Council? They oppose the Guardians of the Veil, who seek to terminate all frivolous mages and prevent awakenings. Free Council's habit is to help rookie mages start up."
(7) Robin: ((nvm))
(8) Eve: ((turned it into a translator for radio signals last game... don't know if it still works as a radio))
(7) Robin: ((yeah i remember now))
(10) Anthony: "Well, you said something about symbols. Atlantean runes/ Hmm..."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The radio transmits in 6 possible translations
(10) Anthony: (( >.> ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Dutch, English, and Italian
(10) Anthony: "Guys, keep an eye out for antying that looks.. magic."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): currently, being in Slovenia, the translator does not translate slovenian radio stations
(7) Robin: "Where do you guys want to go?"
(10) Anthony: "A hollow. A hospital. A resteraunt. Not necessarily in that order."
(10) Anthony: "maybe a store for burritos or something."
(7) Robin: "Well, I know for certain where a cafe is."
(8) Eve: ((cause they have lots of burritos in Slovenia))
(10) Anthony: "Or whatever the local equivalent is."
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Hoorah for Slovurritos!))
(1) Uchawi: "I suppose if you act like you are in trouble, or are hunted, you may attract their attention? Or maybe lighting a fireball in the middle of the street and causing a major paradox. That will attract every possible faction in your vicinity for certain. Your chances are Free Council would be among those five."
(11) Tristin: "Probably similar to gyros..."
** (7) Robin heads towars the cafe by the highway she remmbered. Vrrooom. **
(10) Anthony: "I wonder if blowing up a castle got their attention."
(1) Uchawi: "But the counsequence would probably be very unpleasant."
(1) Uchawi: "Judging by the fact that you are wanted on the Italian border, they are impressed, indeed."
(7) Robin: ((oppsy))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo apparently leaves his motorcycle in the woods ((Not the ideal way I wanted to lose the bike, but eh)) **
(10) Anthony: (( so bring it ))
(7) Robin: ((You can get it fi you want))
(10) Anthony: (( don't let someone else drive off with you :P ))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo follows Robin on his motorcycle. ((I was just commenting)) **
(10) Anthony: (( heh ))
(10) Anthony: (( rp waits for no man ))
** (7) Robin lets dante out before she drives off **
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: (( lol, apparently ))
(8) Eve: ((Slovene foods are often simple and hearty. Many dishes are made with cream, such as mushroom soup, and pork sour soup. Horseradish with cream, a specialty of northeastern Slovenia, is often served with beef dishes. Chicken paprika is a creamy sauce made with spicy, red paprika served over noodles or dumplings.))
(8) Eve: ((the more you know :D))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): you make it to the cafe. it... sucks
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The menu: goulasch, porriage, stew
(7) Robin: "Man...this sucks.Wheres the Buger King?"
(8) Eve: ((cool the Slovenians are one of the many inventers of "Goulash""))
(11) Tristin: "I only have US dollars..."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): a laddy greets you happily, you dont understand her language
(1) Lady: "Kupite, gulyash! Vkusnii gulyash! 30 grivink!"
(1) Lady: "Prinimay Rubli tozhe. 30 grivni = 25 Rubli"
(10) Anthony: (( I would have roman currancy. what is that.. I forget ))
(1) Lady: "Ooooh Us Dollar!"
** (10) Anthony pulls out some... roman money and some dollors **
** (7) Robin smiles at the lady. ((universal language mind4+gnosis4)) **

(1) Lady: "5 Dollar! Umm.... 10 Dollar! " - shows ten on fingers, pointing to a bowl of goulasch
** (1) Lady looks at Robin **
(1) Lady: "Oh hi."
(10) Anthony: (( 10 buck for a bowl fo slope? yearh, right ))
(7) Robin: "Ten doallars for one bowl?"
(8) Eve: ((technically in modern time its the Euro Dante, but in WOD game its the italian Lira I think))
(7) Robin: ((We leave eve in van?))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((dante? What?))
(10) Anthony: (( better htan dragging an unconscoius woman around ))
(7) Robin: ((We might could get a disscount, lol))
(10) Anthony: "you have any cheese? Bread?"
(10) Anthony: "Sausage?"
(1) Lady: "Very good food! Only 10 dollars, welcome, most welcome! We very poor, have a family of six children and eleven grandchildren, need help like nobody else. Klara across the street doing much better than us, she has two cows and a motorcycle, we have nothing at all, she has a farm, we only have a small cafe! Please, please! I be so greatful for the patronage! besides, not many food places are on the road so close to the border... borders are being closed, crime, terrorism, gang wars beginning. Dangerous times, desperate prices."
(10) Anthony: (( cheese bread. yummmm ))
** (1) Lady looks at Toni and blinks **
** (1) Lady turns back to Robin **
** (7) Robin looks to lady. "You have anything else? like cheese, sausage, bread? Anything?" **
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo seats himself and points to a bowl of stew, noticing that the lady speaks some mildly impressive english. "How much?" **
(8) Eve: ((Eating at restaurants is considered expensive by the Slovenes, and therefore is typically only done on special occasions or for celebrations; however, many Slovenes frequenly enjoy a meal at a gostilna (local pub), where traditional foods and pastries are served))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Or was that unviersal?))
(10) Anthony: "Cheese you know...cheese?" Tony tries to indicate cheese with his hands, badly
(1) Lady: "Oh yes! yes. We have fresh cheese, have russian sausage, hungarian sausage, kilbasa, salami! We have bread, ukranian bread, slovenian bread, bulgarian bread!"
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((I just assumed the broken english bit was her, not universal to robin. Nevermind))
(7) Robin: ((I can talk with her through the universal language spell. itsmind))
(11) Tristin: "I guess I'll have the pasta-soup stuff...." *pointing at the Goulash approvingly.
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Yes, I know what the spell is. I just didn't know if the lady was talking to Robin or realizing that we speak english and that she speaks it brokenly))
** (7) Robin to tony. "They have sausage and bread, too" **
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo looks to Robin. "Could you tell her I'd like the stew?" **
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo feels his stomach rumble, not thinking about much else. **
(10) Anthony: "Okay, I'll have some gulsush I guess and would liek to get som ecold bread an dsaugage and cheese and such that travel well togo
(10) Anthony: "Gotta keep an eye on eve.

(10) Anthony: "Dang, too bad I left my backpack at home."
(1) Lady: she is hurrying to put an apron on and get you the food, putting gloves on
** (7) Robin to the lady Well have three bowls of stew...gulosh, bread , sausage and some cheese....." **
** (10) Anthony will check the food for contamination/botchalism as we eat it. **
** (7) Robin thanks the lady, being polite. **
(10) Anthony: (( score one for life sight ))
(7) Robin: ((having the runs would be no fun lol))
** (1) Lady brings you all that you have ordered, contamination levels are medium, it's not the best food, not the freshest, but nothing spoiled. **
** (7) Robin chows down on some stew. **
(1) Lady: "That would be a total of 80 dollars, alright?"
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo smiles and nods once to the lady and then looks to the stew, digging in right away. **
** (1) Lady waits to be paid **
** (1) Lady hangs on to the food **
** (10) Anthony gives the lady $10 **
(11) Tristin: [hs] => hs 80 Dollars?....

(10) Anthony: (( since he took the bread and sausage and cheese she might want more ))
** (11) Tristin hands the lady $70 **
(1) Lady: ((thats perfectly fine to say in character, being that only robin understands the woman))
** (1) Lady lets go of your food and goes back to the counter **
(11) Tristin: ((She communicated money in english just fine before Robin casted it))
** (1) Lady beams at the money, stashes it in the backroom somewhere **
(8) Eve: ((you guys just made that womans like.. year))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo smiles. "Thanks, Tristin. Not surprisingly, I have no American money." He begins to eat the stew hungrily. **
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((lol, apparently))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): A black mercedes pulls up to the cafe, next to your van.
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: (( oh noes! plot devices are coming to take us away! ))
(10) Anthony: (( shoot, we're not discuised either ))
(11) Tristin: [ha] => ha "Kurtis and I had a little incedint at a Casino not too long ago"
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Two men exit it and get into the cafe. Both with pistol holsters on their belts. Leather jackets, cammy pants
** (11) Tristin chowing down on goulash **
** (10) Anthony mumbles under his breath, "These are not hte droids you want." **
(8) Eve: ((These are not the droids your looking for))
(1) Dude: Robin, you and only you, understand this: "Martha! Come over here Martha!"
** (11) Tristin looks the two men over, looking for their purpose here and sizing them up. **
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((These aren't the droids you're looking for, if you want to be 100% technical Eve =P))
(10) Anthony: (( tony is just tryign to give a hiint to the mind uders how e can get out of this easily ))
** (7) Robin looks up from her bowl of soup. **
(1) Lady: "Oh, hey Petro. Ho...how goes the ... everything?"
** (11) Tristin snickers at Tony's comment **
(8) Eve: (( *gives Dante a cookie* correct))
(1) Dude: "Looks like you have some customers. Expensive car."
(10) Anthony: (( tghy're speaking in slovic I presume ))
(1) Lady: "No, they are just... relatives... visiting."
(1) Lady: ((yes))
(1) Dude: "What are their names then? I did not know there were any relatives besides that useless husband of yours."
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo barely notices the men as they enter, filling his stomach with the stew. He listens to the conversation despite being unable to understand what they are saying. **
(10) Anthony: Uchawi, what are these guys saying?
(1) Lady: "Uuuh, look Petro, I already paid you this month, let me lay off till the next? My daughters can't afford even a decent dress!"
(8) Eve: ((Have you ever noticed that when people are talking in other languages you tend to assume they are talking about you??))
** (7) Robin looks at the dude, trying to see his thoughts...((read the depts mind4 gnosis4)) **
(7) Robin: [8d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [2,[10, 8],7,[10, 4],5,8,[10, 9],5] = (4)

(7) Robin: ((cuz they are ;p ))
(1) Lady: ((can encyclopedic knowledge familiar enterprete languages, claire?))
(10) Anthony: (( Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean no one is out ot get you ))
(8) Eve: ((Umm.. I suppose I could get a roll for it?))
(8) Eve: ((*it ))
(1) Dude: "If she wants a decent dress, I told her what she should do for me! You paid for this month, but what about the debt for previous two months? Protection is not easy business, you know."
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((They're coming to take me away, ha-ha!))
(10) Anthony: (( you could get a roll for something? You're undead ))
(7) Robin: ((composture+gnosis reflex))
(1) Dude: Loot. Glorious loot. We're anxious to take it. American dollars - we like very much. Day to day, that's how we make it!
(8) Eve: ((To the funny farm? With trees? And flowers? And.. and chirping birds?))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Naturally))
(8) Eve: ((why... is he thinking in rhyme I would wonder))
(10) Anthony: Oh shoot. Protection racket?
(7) Robin: What protection deal was made between these two
(1) Dude: ((only robin can hear thoughts, she casted the spell))
(10) Anthony: (( n/m my texst. ucawhi never answered me )
(10) Anthony: (( gm is getting floooooooooooded. ))
** (10) Anthony wxamines gthe newcoimers with life sight out of habit **
(1) Dude: ((Uchawi can make a roll, since language is a separate deal from encyclopedic knowledge, thats more like, logic and facts, versus ability to enterprete languages, it's wishy washy, and Claire didnt document the parrot, but i can look up the trait Encycl. Knowledge and see what to roll))
(10) Anthony: (( I don't think encyclopedic knowledge woul dgive langauges ))
(1) Dude: ((nope, gotta purchase each additional language as a merit. knowledge if just random facts.))
(8) Eve: ((might give a few phrases.. it is the merit of random facts))
(1) Dude: ((maybe phrases, like In Vina Veritas, Lingua Franka, famous quotes))
(11) Tristin: ((Quib pro Quo Clairece))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Quid))
(1) Dude: The two men are 28 and 30 years old. One is healthy, the younger one, the one talking. He does not drink or smoke, health in excellent condition. Second one older, smoker and drinker. His system is hyped from the stimulation of those intoxications, allowing him good aim, reflexes, focus etc
(10) Anthony: (( things like, what, "Hey, did you know that scum bag in slovak is Spodina taška? ))
(8) Eve: (("The lambs. They were screaming."))
(10) Anthony: (( actually, alcohol would slow down reaction times ))
** (7) Robin scans the dudes memory for the details of the "protection" agreement he made with the lady. **
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo finishes his stew and finally looks towards the men more intently, wondering what all the fuss is about. **
(11) Tristin: [3d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [7,3,2] = (0)
(11) Tristin: ((Composure check))
(1) Dude: they beat up her husband and her teenage son who tried protecting her, there are many folks in the racket gang, they oversee this neighborhood to defend it from other gangs, who basically do the same. The Lady's brother tried to go over to them and nagotiate, but they sent him back all beat up and with a bullet wound in his shoulder, this was a few months ago. The original agreement is - pay us 40% of your profits every month and you will be left alone. The cafe wasnt doing good for last couple of months and the mobsters started tracking interest rate
(1) Dude: ((oh god. Tristin failed composure.))
** (11) Tristin the woman's fear begins to get to Tristin, he balls his fists prepareing to jump in and help her. **
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((I was just about to say... why a comp-oshi-!))
(1) Lady: "Fine, fine, it's okay. Here, they paid me 50 dollars. Here are 24, okay? That's all I can give."
** (7) Robin rempeats the details in high speech to her group :) **
(1) Dude: "I think I'll take the interest payment today too. All fifty."
** (11) Tristin doesn't actually leave his seat, but watches the two men -very- carefully. **
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo looks over to Robin, then to Tristin, then back to the men. **
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: [hs] => hs This doesn't look good.
(10) Anthony: [hs] => hs Hmm? They recognize us?
(7) Robin: [highspeech] => highspeech I want to help her, but I don't want to create more trouble than shes already in...
(10) Anthony: [hs] => hs Well, easy, make them think she already paid up in their mind or something.
(11) Tristin: [hs] => hs these guys are just a bunch of fucking thugs...
** (1) Dude 's partner is dropping his hand casually on the gun, while the lady hurries with a little bag of money, handing the mobster 50 dollars **
(10) Anthony: [hs] => hs Unfortuantely, this kinda thing happens all over. I wish we could stop it but... unfortuantely it's a part of life
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: [hs] => hs Let's just mind our own business for once, okay?
(10) Anthony: [hs] => hs Wat the hell, why is she giving him $50?L That's like a fortune here isnt' it?

(1) Dude: You are in the guy's mind, Robin
(11) Tristin: ((Does the other guy have a gun?))
(1) Dude: ((yes))
(11) Tristin: ((The older one))
** (7) Robin the younger guy suddenly realizes his wrong doing and forcefully, drawing his gun, suggest to the older guy to forget about this lady. she has paid enough. **
** (11) Tristin focuses on the loud guy's weapon, curseing it. **
(1) Dude: ((the younger guy is talking, the older guy is watching, both have guns))
** (10) Anthony drops his spoon in his gulaush as he sees one of hte guys pull his gun on the other one **
(1) Dude: "What the fuck you doing man?"
(11) Tristin: Monkey's Paw Fate 3 + Gnosis 3
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo silently looks on, looking to Robin, then to the men. **

(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: [hs] => hs Oh boy...
(7) Robin: [hs] => hs I couldnt help it...
** (11) Tristin tries the same on the other man's gun **

(1) Dude: "Alright, alright, stay cool man... we get out of here and nobody gets hurt"
** (10) Anthony remembers though that he's killed more people than bogth of these combined easily and his gulaush sits cold in his stomach **
(1) Dude: The other guy raises his hands up, because he had no time to draw his weapon in return, he backs away
** (11) Tristin goes back to his goulash, assumeing he cursed both the weapons **

(8) Eve: (lol I'm unconsious and got better rolls then y'all.. except Robin))
(7) Robin: ((lol))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((This is going to be interesting))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The two guys stand around for a bit, the guy with the money slowly puts the money on the table, the guy with the gun nods at him, and they slowly start heading towards the door
(1) Dude: "Sorry to bother you, Martha, we're cool."
(1) Dude: Other guy eyeing her "I'll return later, to talk."
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Martha's got a machine gun! ratatatatatatatat))
(1) Dude: "You sleeping with her man?"
** (10) Anthony watches them with his eyes, then picks up his gulaush and tries to eat it but he no longer has an apetite **
(1) Dude: "Shut up, you moron"
** (7) Robin tries to finish her stew while keeping an eye on the guys **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): As the guys leave and get back into their mercedes... something is missing in the background of their departing car. Wait.... where is the van?
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo scrapes the bowl clean with his spoon. **
(10) Anthony: "SHIT"
(8) Eve: ((LOL! I've been kidnapped!))
(10) Anthony: "Find the van, FAST"
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((roflcopter))
(11) Tristin: "Where the fuck is the car?"
** (11) Tristin springs up **
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: "Uhm.. wait, the car?" *looks over to where the van used to be*
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Dante's bike still there.
(11) Tristin: "Robin, can you find her?"
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Empty parking lot, Mercedes driving away as you run out of the cafe, to the lady's surprise, as she fondles the returned money in her hand, in disbelief
(11) Tristin: "Shouldn't have left Eve in there.."
(7) Robin: "Oh geeze."
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Just Dante's motorcycle
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo stands up and moves to the door. **
(10) Anthony: "Dante, take off on motorcycle to find it before it gets too far."
(10) Anthony: "Can you cantact eve by.. damn."
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo eyes his bike and looks down the street, trying to see which way the van might have gone. **
(10) Anthony: "Mind link anywone?"
** (7) Robin drops her mind spells and focuses on the van...trying to place its location. **
(7) Robin: [8d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [1,[10, 2],1,2,9,8,5,[10, 7]] = (4)
(7) Robin: ((finder space4+gnosis 4))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Dante, you using powers? or just looking? Human senses just say one thing - it's gone, brotha
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Robin, the van is headed at 80 miles per hour along the highway north east, towards the Hungarian Border
** (11) Tristin looks for tiretracks leading in either direction **
(8) Eve: (least I'm being kidnapped in the right direction)
** (11) Tristin from where the van was **
(7) Robin: "Aw...shit. They're hauling ass towards to boarder."
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo turns sharply to Robin. Towards the border? I'd better hurry. **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Tristin, the tires left no tracks, apparently the van was driven off smoothly and quietly, not in a hurry. Maybe with a bit of matter one could examine the tiny rubber molecules...
(10) Anthony: "Fine. Get that mercades back here. mind control them. we need a car. Take off on bike."
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo thinks. "Now, which way is it?" He scratches his head. **
(7) Robin: "You go, and take someboday on your bike, I guess."
** (11) Tristin Looks through the fabric of fate and tries to slow them down. **
(11) Tristin: ((Slow... the van down.))
(10) Anthony: "How long can you rewind time? is it too late?"
(7) Robin: "Along the highway north east, towards the Hungarian Border"
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): roll it fate monkey
(10) Anthony: "Although Idon't want to have to deal with the idiot brothers again"
(11) Tristin: Hears Tony mid spell and stops? ((Or is it too late?))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo nods to Robin. "I'll head out then. Anyone riding with me, or are you all going to wait for a better solution?" **

(10) Anthony: (( we rewound? ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): the first success takes you back to where you casted superlative luck, second success rewinds time you ran out of the cafe, the mercedes leaving, third success takes you back to the moment when you noticed the van is gone....

(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Oh well))
(11) Tristin: ((I got 5 successes))
(11) Tristin: ((Also any mana spent by any of you sence that happened is restored.))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): One man pulls the gun on the other, and everyone is watching the scene, distracted from the food, except for Tristin, who is now lingering with his single bit of mana, but he now can see three guys, dressed in brown cammies sneak up to the van, picking the door lock with a car lockpick
(10) Anthony: (( okay, so again.. ))
(10) Anthony: (( er, exactly where are we rewound to? ))
(10) Anthony: (( did the mobs car just drive away and we see the van gone? ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): You guys, rewound to the man drawing a gun on the other man

** (11) Tristin Everyone feels an eerie scence of Deja Vu watching the two until Tristin, who seems oddly tired compared to just a moment ago screams "Car jacker! Outside! Hurry" and dashes out the door. **
** (10) Anthony looses his apetite as the gulaush goes cold in his stomach **
(1) Dude: "You know this is not right, she already pays us all she can"

** (11) Tristin tries to slide by him. **
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo looks at Tristin with a look of bewilderment and stands up. **
(1) Dude: Seeing Tristin jump up and dash past them, the two forget their argument, drop the money, and aim at running Tristin, one got pushed away by surprise, the other taking clear aim
** (10) Anthony looks for the van outside **
(10) Anthony: (( do I see? ))

You must be a GM to use this feature
Attempting to assign the role of GM to (1) Konrad Knox...
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Ok, gray things - mercedes, van, bike. Black person - tristin dashing out the door
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Eve is inside the van. Blue guys are car jackers, green guys are racket guys.

(1) Konrad Knox (GM): so... Dante, Robin, and Anthony are somewhere at the table (yellow)
(11) Tristin: ((Which one is aiming at me?))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((the guy whose gun is aimed at you))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((The green one with a stick pointed at you))
(11) Tristin: ((Older or younger?))
(10) Anthony: Well, when I see that guy pointing the gun at tristin, I'm going ot run into him, surest means of messing up his aim, and say "Help us!" as I rush outside (( you can let me know how mcuh I acutally accomplish :D ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Tristin, as you run, the man shoots once at you, aiming for the back, and outside, you see a mercedes, and a carjacker also pointing a gun at you, guarding the van. Another man is now opening the door of the van, and the third guy is guarding the passenger seat
(11) Tristin: If I have time I will cast a Time Sheild over myself.
(7) Robin: The younger guy is still under Robin's control. Inseat of firing at Tristin, he would run out to interogate the car jackers
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Ok, what happened is, guy A was pointing a gun at guy B. Tristin jumped up, shoved guy B out of the way, Guy A pointed a gun at him and fired. At the same time Anthony stands up, runs at guy A, but guy B is blocking Anthony's way
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Ok, Robin's spell is indeed in effect

(10) Anthony: 2 dex, 2 brawl. I'm fairly nimble
(7) Robin: ((Okay, so he shoots, then goes to interogate the car jackers))

(11) Tristin: ((So they were arguing in the doorway?))

(10) Anthony: I forget, ties go to defender dont' they? dang
(1) Dude: yes
(1) Dude: but this is a close one
(10) Anthony: sorry tristin
(1) Dude: You dash out and disrupt his aim enough to NOT let him hit Tristin, but the shot breaks the glass door, and some sharpen goes Tristin's way, slowing him down a bit
(11) Tristin: ((Glass breaks on my way to it?))
(1) Dude: like, right past his ear, Tristin dashes through the door, and the door glass breaks, he jerks to the left to avoid it, all in one flow
(1) Dude: imagine like a cinematic
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((I would pay to see that in theatres))
(1) Dude: the shot, the brawl, and the dash happens at the same time
(1) Dude: but as camera goes back to Tristin's first person view, he sees that the carjacker is pointing a gun at him too

(1) Carjacker: ((wod book doesnt say Inits are not open...))
(10) Anthony: (( wt.. what that doing back there? ))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Does the pink one have what I think it has?))
(1) Carjacker: So, carjacker in the driver seat starts the car, and opens the door for carjacker in front. Carjacker in front, opens fire at tristin, and steps back into the van's cockpit, door still open, since they didnt have the time to close it yet. Car jacker 3 gets into the van on the passenger seat.
(1) Carjacker: then, the order is: Tristin, the guy who shot him, Robin, Dante, guy who havent drawn his gun yet, and Anthony
(1) Carjacker: let the madness begin. Tristin, you are being shot at, there is a mercedes between you and the van
(8) Eve: (the numbers over heads are accurate, Robin is pink and Dante is blue))
(11) Tristin: ((So is it my turn?)
(1) Carjacker: ((yesh))

** (11) Tristin then he ducks behind the mercades **
(1) Carjacker: The dagger glows, not a single bullet hits you, they slow down right in front of you, slow enough to brush them aside with the ediphon, you duck to safety. The bullets hit the glass door and shred more sharpnel
(11) Tristin: ((Er Temporal Dodge, not Choros Sheild))
(1) Carjacker: unless, you turn their corse
(11) Tristin: ((chonos*))
(1) Carjacker: ((difference?))
(11) Tristin: ((Chronos sheild provents me from being detected by time magic..))
(10) Anthony: (( temoral dodge you dodge around the bullet, choros shield threy just slow down around you I think with no action eneded on your part? ))
(11) Tristin: ((Not a shelild at all))
(10) Anthony: (( oh. poor name of spell then :D ))
(8) Eve: (Indeed))
(7) Robin: ((lol @eve's status))
(8) Eve: ((nyah))
(10) Anthony: (( I wonder how much they'd sell you for on the black market ))
(1) Carjacker: eve = gangbang by carjackers
(1) Carjacker: hot
(8) Eve: ( :( ))
(1) Carjacker: ok. The guy who hasnt drawn his gun yet, draws his gun, selecting Anthony is his target, being the next aggressive target to him
(1) Dude: aim at Anthony. End turn
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Robin's turn
(8) Eve: (hmm hmm)
** (7) Robin glares at dude who shot at Tristin ((#9)), Entering his mind with only the though of destruction. Popping neurons left and right. ((Psychic sword mind4 gnosis4 -resolve)) **

(1) Konrad Knox (GM): the guy cluthes his head in his hands and screams, covering his face from the sharpnel. A sleeper, he simply isnt aware of such pains
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Dante
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo attempts to close the distance between himself and the man now aiming at Tony and wrest the weapon from his hand. ((what WOULD I roll to attempt to pry a weapon from a person?)) **
(11) Tristin: ((opposed Str+brawl))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): trying to smack it out or sneakily unload it?
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Trying to yank it into my possession))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): okay, the place is small, and you get to him just in time, and Str+brawl against his Str+brawl. it's a grapple challenge
(10) Anthony: (( wod pp 159 covers disarm opponent ))

(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((nope))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Yes, I know it does, but I wasn't certain if it was just like a grapple or if there were other factors))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Big time fail))
(10) Anthony: (( especially sicne it's actually str + brawl - opponents defense ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((hang on, reading how it's properly done))
(10) Anthony: (( pp 159 has summary ))
(10) Anthony: (( first turn would be to grapple, next turn would try to disarm ))
(10) Anthony: (( or same turn. or something )))
(8) Eve: (not same turn)
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((two turns just dont... make sense in this situation... meh))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Grabbing and disarming would take less than 5 seconds, I fail to see how its two turns))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((that means Tony would have to first grab the guy to disrupt his aim))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((im trying to minimize rolling and do more action))
(8) Eve: ((when in doubt like I always say remember you are the ST whatever you choose for a roll)
(8) Eve: (not.. that it matters much to me either way heh)
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((ST?))
(8) Eve: (Story teller))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((oh, nm))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((yeAH))
(8) Eve: (*pets dante* its okay)
(10) Anthony: (( yeah, wasn't trying ot even grab his arm really, just knock him off balance so he ost his aim ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Dante fails to yank it out, as the guy evades his charge, keeping the aim on Toni ((since 0 is a fail no matter how much he rolls))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((yeah, if we can work out a sensible formula that can accomplish the same thing with 1 turn instead of two, im all for it))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((hourse rules ftw))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((yes, I'm aware that its fail. Already said so. Let's keep this wagon train a-movin'))
(10) Anthony: (( problem is lot of factors come into play. attackers str, dexterity, fighting ability, defenders strenght, fighitng ability, dexterity, etc... ))
(10) Anthony: (( grappelling alwasy takes a lot of rolls in any game :/ ))
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((I figured dexterity would have a roll in removing the weapon... but whatever))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((thats why we kick the gun out of people's hands and catch them midair! :) ))
(11) Tristin: ((Even RL.... you're like..... rolling around and shit...))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((well, i dont care which thing to roll, just wanna get it rollin. ))
(10) Anthony: (( unless you do like jackie chan in rush hour, but then that's martial arts, another section completely ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The guy who shot Tristin loses his turn, he is mind sworded by Robin, he is bent over next to Tony
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): So it's Tony's turn now
(8) Eve: (its really only two.. attacker grapple = str + brawl - defender defense, then defender to get out = str + brawl - attacker str, if defender doesn't get out then attacker can with sucessful str + brawl - defenders str do a special maneuver like disarm)
(11) Tristin: Giggidy?
(11) Tristin: (())
(7) Robin: ((ive been waiting to try that ))
(8) Eve: (Oh yeah)
** (10) Anthony will run as fast as he can toward the van til he can see the driver so he can cast trigger the lizard brain on him **
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((That just doesn't make sense to me. Oh well))

(10) Anthony: (( it only lasts a turn, but I figure that' s time enough for him to get out of the van and start running ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Anthony, you make it into the doors, where Tristin was a turn ago
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): You see Tristin crouching behind the mercedes
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): what 3 instincts do you trigger?

(11) Tristin: ((Phere of pantz!!))

(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Poor Tom! He'd just get shot :( ))
(10) Anthony: (( but then once someone starts to run and it wears off, they gotta think, wtf was I running for? ))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): The driver drops his gun, shoves his buddy away screaming "Let me out!!!" and jumps out of the way, running towards the highway. His friend goes "fine, fuck you then." and assumes control of the vehicle
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): phew. this concludes this round

(1) Dude: You guys see something creepy. The van is being "cropped" out of the 3D space and held in place, the wheels spinning, but not touching the ground. The driver screams in panic, his eyes wide, he fights with the gas pedal, finally deciding to jump out, but he gets stuck suspended midair.
(1) Dude: He's not frozen, he is wiggling, running - but above ground
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((Like Wile. E. Coyote over a cliff eh?))
** (7) Robin rubs her face from the backlash.. **
(1) Dude: It feels real. It doesnt look like the van is actually held by a force, it looks more like, it's on an invisible treadmill, that the ground repeats itself under its wheels
(1) Dude: this breaks us all out of Initiative rounds with all crooks taken out
** (1) Dude keeps screaming, looking at you wild eyed. He knows this is unnatural, his eyes of terror and agonizing fear, pure insanity - in them you recognized a man who is seeing a miracle, and he senses one of you did it **

** (7) Robin walks over to the van, dropping the suspension spell. **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): that just keeps flying, on an animated background
(11) Tristin: ((Like a fucking bad dream))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo turns to the man clutching his head and shakes his own head once. "Sorry for all the trouble..." he says, even if the mobster can't understand him. **

(1) Konrad Knox (GM): the van was still on, and as soon as suspension is dropped, it zooms off. on its own. in a random direction, going off road.... off road..... u got some mere moments to stop it from running into the roadside
(8) Eve: (weeeee I'm going offroad)
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((With no one on the gas pedal though?))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((yup, momentum))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((nobody to hold the break either))

(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Eve, if you were conscious, you'd be really scared about now
** (11) Tristin runs and jumps into the van and slams on the break **
(8) Eve: (good thing I'm not)
(11) Tristin: ((If she was concious there would be 3 zombies waiting by the van for us to come out.))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Tristin, you barely manage to stop it... not even a foot from the roadside
(8) Eve: ((Very true))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): given that you were punching the guy at the same time as the van started moving, lucky.
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Eve flies forward and rolls on the floor
(7) Robin: ((on top of the raven?))
** (8) Eve lays in the floor in a motionless fashion **
(8) Eve: (( :D!))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Well, at least you're facing the right direction. The cafe lady is dialing police, voice panicked, eyes wide
(11) Tristin: ((Nevermore))
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo looks about, patting himself down to make sure he has everything. Wallet, firearm, chalk, sanity - check. Barely. **
** (11) Tristin puts the car in park after a moment of looking for it. **
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): 40 miles till border
(9) Dante Canavacciuolo: ((The raven was let out a while back lol))
(11) Tristin: ((Drive skill 0))
** (11) Tristin Checks Eve's pulse. **
** (7) Robin runs over to the van, hoping in to check on Eve and Tristin. **
** (9) Dante Canavacciuolo hurries over to his motorcycle and yells, "We'd probably better leave now. I doubt what happened just now went unnoticed." **
(8) Eve: ((Gives up on drawing stick figures ))

(11) Tristin: ((Over 3 leathal?))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((no i mean afk, fell asleep maybe))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((well, he'd either heal her or 2 bash would heal in 30 minutes anyway))
(11) Tristin: (("She's fucking ODing on me"))
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): ((there went my plan to help you cross the border. if the bad guys did it, your faces would be clean, but hey, what happened, happened.))
(8) Eve: ((ODed on black goo.. what a way to go)

(7) Robin: When I heard the gurgle of a waterpipe
(1) Konrad Knox (GM): Eve, youre being punished for overpowering a spell's effect, but being out of action is as far as that punishment goes.
(7) Robin: So I turned to see my monster in a cloud of smoke
(7) Robin: Who said 'This shit ain't bad, here, have a toke'
