(1) Anthony: makes it so much easier
(1) Anthony: although it needs a few things more
(4) Only Claire: Still nice
(1) Anthony: What I suggested to my oldest with a 35 char, is he used 3 merit points to give him gnosis 2 allowing him to buy 4 dots in his primary
(1) Anthony: or maybe not, I don't remember. let me look at his sheet..
(4) Only Claire: mmhmm
(1) Anthony: yeah, he got life 4 and gnosis 2 with a starting char (3rd char though which is why gave him 35 exp )
(1) Anthony: other arcana is low though. space 1 spirit 2
(4) Only Claire: What happened to the first two chars?
(5) Shawn (Tristin): Don
(5) Shawn (Tristin): 't ask
(1) Anthony: First char they got bored with,d ecided to go with other arcana so made new chars.
(1) Anthony: then I bought hte book so they are making from scratch
(1) Anthony: although my oldest is remaking same char
(4) Only Claire: ahh

(2) Konrad Knox: alright
(2) Konrad Knox: ok, getting all the charsheets together
(1) Anthony: Okay... if my apartment wasn't burn down (claire?)

(2) Konrad Knox: ok got em. Claire, we have to figure out your awakening and where you are after it. Feel free to do it in PMs
(2) Konrad Knox: as well as the charsheet please
(1) Anthony: If my apartmet is still thre, I wil go back to my apartment, visit the hollow a few times a week, read the book every chance I get, find out what's going on with work
(2) Konrad Knox: so Anthony is keeping touch with Kassidy? it might be the beginning point of this story to start you off of
(1) Anthony: yes, he is. "visit the hollow a few times a week..."
(2) Konrad Knox: okay. that is good. Robin? Tristin?
(1) Anthony: also we are co-workers, remember?
(2) Konrad Knox: your office got burnt down

(2) Konrad Knox: yes. the new story starts.... on November 1st of the same year, approximately 35 days after
(1) Anthony: That sounds just like your char XD
(3) Robin: hehe.
(1) Anthony: If my char has been reading hte book every chance he gets, I would suspect that by now he knows as much about arcana as I do XD
(2) Konrad Knox: Alright. Claire making character. GM is plotting.
(1) Anthony: What happened to Lisa anyway? I guess I'll visit her when I get the chance too XD
(1) Anthony: And Liza
(1) Anthony: I guess Liza is staying at the hollow? would probalby be best for her right now
(2) Konrad Knox: Okay, after Jones went down, Kurtis and Kassidy really hit it off, he was hanging in the hollow for a week or so, then started coming and going. He started stayign at the casino, then visiting the hollow a few times. He keeps contact with any of you who care to give him a call, but recently you haven't heard from him for about 2 weeks or so.
(1) Anthony: Remember, i have Dream if you need a hook
(4) Only Claire: Lisa, you see here now and then, in the casino, in random odd places, she seems to be passivly watching you all. Yes even in cali. Liza yes is staying at the hollow, seems to have calmed down from the spells put on here. Is still writing her thesis. Kassie still hollowing it up, still working on animals.
(4) Only Claire: Claire = working on character.
(5) Shawn (Tristin): Tristin's been gone for then entire time, the last any of you would have seen him is him asking you for a ride to the airport, or at the airport if you gave him a ride.

(5) Shawn (Tristin): Probably would have asked Tony first actually. Okay.

** (1) Anthony speaks into phone, "robin and I were just going to teleport to you. I had a dream that you were in an airport being attacked." **
** (5) Tristin pauses for a moment **
(5) Tristin: "Did it involve a bomb?"

(5) Tristin: "Yeah... but not the one you took me too, I was planning on going home when I got back."
(1) Anthony: "You'll need to go into a bathroom or something so robin can open up a portal. Wouldn't be too kosher for her to open it up in the middile of the airport."
(1) Anthony: "You're in anaheim right?"
(5) Tristin: "Yeah."
(1) Anthony: "here, talkto Robin" Tony hands robin the phone
(5) Tristin: ((She's afk))
(1) Anthony: "find a place he can go where you won't cause too much of a paradox opening a portal."
(1) Anthony: (( she has to open the portal, not me. that being the case, smoking a cig :P ))
(5) Tristin: ((she's back))
(3) Robin: "Tristin?"
(5) Tristin: "Hey, Robin can you come get me?"

(3) Robin: "oh really?"
** (1) Anthony pockets his cell phone, "What do you need?" **

** (3) Robin turns back away from tony and starts casting, mumbling to herself **
(1) Anthony: "Might be a few."

(2) Kurtis: "Get here when you can, you have one day or so, don't be in a hurry, get everything prepared, this might be a tough one."
(1) Anthony: "ASAP or no hurry? Which is it?"
(1) Anthony: "Because it makes a difference if we'll be going ot anahim to try to stop what's to happen, or going to the casino now."
(3) Robin: ((what kind of connection would i have with the airport aquainted?))
(1) Anthony: (( not a very good one, but you have connection to Tristin better ))
(1) Anthony: (( tristin is known I think? ))

(1) Anthony: "You might want to scry Tristin first to make sure he's alone."
(3) Robin: "Yeah make sure the rooms clear."
(2) Kurtis: Tristin, the bathroom around you has two people, a fat guy peeing, really struggling to fit his massive front and adjust it to the tiny urinal, and some guy sitting in a far away toilet cabin, making a lot of unpleasant noise
(3) Robin: scrying portal space 4 +gnosis3= 7
(3) Robin: ((what room were you in tony?""

(3) Robin: [5d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [9,2,8,5,5] = (2)
(2) Konrad Knox: it works, you see what is around Tristin
(1) Anthony: "Wow, Tristin's on TV!"
** (5) Tristin starts talking to himself out loud, hopeing to scare off the extra people. "No, not a bomb. What's happening?" **
(2) Konrad Knox: you can rotate your camera around up to 90 degrees
(1) Anthony: "What's he doing? Taking a dump?"
** (3) Robin giggles "Does it look like hes alone to you?" **
(5) Tristin: ((Er... she would have gotten another -3 for occultation, sorry should have said something))
(2) Konrad Knox: the fat guy hurries up his peeing, nearly wets his pants with the last drops and hurries off, giving Tristin a dirty look
(1) Anthony: (( he walked into a stall? ))
(5) Tristin: ((Yeah))
(2) Konrad Knox: the guy in the cabin makes another bad noise
(1) Anthony: "Can't see. he's in a stall. Don't think we'd all fit in there."
(5) Tristin: damnit have to make them leave...
(1) Anthony: "Wait til he leaves the stall I guess."

** (1) Anthony 's eyes go wide, "Dang, subtle isn't he?" **
(3) Robin: "yeah, good thinking."'
** (3) Robin laughs **
(3) Robin: "If it works..."
** (5) Tristin grabs some chinese fireworks he smuggled, lights one, and tosses it in gross-noise-man's stall **
(1) Anthony: (( lol, he's gonna get himself arrested ))
(2) Dude: "Holy fuck, are you fucking mad?! What the fuck?!"
(1) Anthony: "Did he just light a firecracker and throw it into another stall? What's he doing?"
(1) Anthony: "We may wind up having to bail him out."
(2) Konrad Knox: You hear flushing sounds, and a guy storming out, a tiny skinny fella, rushing to the door without washing his hands: "Security, security!"
(3) Robin: "oh my. At leaast hes not arabic, they'd shoot him in five minutes"
(2) Konrad Knox: Three other guys come into the bathroom
(2) Konrad Knox: Iti s an airport bathroom
(2) Konrad Knox: a black guy, an old bearded guy, and a guy in a business suit. Seeing the fireworks, they all walk out
(1) Anthony: (( why coudlnt' it of bene a black guy with a beard and a business suit? :P ))
** (5) Tristin speeds up his own time. ((Acceleration Stam 2 + Ath 2 + time 4)) **
(5) Tristin: [6d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [9,4,1,4,[10, 3],7] = (2)
** (5) Tristin walks slowly out of the bathroom, checking it out. **
(3) Robin: ((looks clear?))
(2) Konrad Knox: the time slows down, you walk out before the people inside even manage to move their eyes to trace your path, you can see a security officer coming to the bathroom, very slowly
(1) Anthony: (( out of hte bathroom, or out into the bathroom? ))
(2) Konrad Knox: Tristin is back in the airport hallway, among the thousands of people who couldnt care less about him, unless he does something threatening in public
(5) Tristin: ((How many people in the bathroom, just one?))
(1) Anthony: (( just you and the security officer going to the bathroom, you might wanna consider plan B ))
(1) Anthony: (( plan B being, dno't get arrested ))
(5) Tristin: ((I'm back in the hall?))
(2) Konrad Knox: ((now there is the security guy in the bathroom, Tristin is outside in the hall))
** (5) Tristin walks inconspicuously through the front entrance and looks for a palce with no people. **
(2) Konrad Knox: there is no place completely without people, but there are a few places with fewer people - one is an unusued boarding Gate - F13
** (5) Tristin looks around to see if anyone is watching him. **
(2) Konrad Knox: only occasional looks from passing people, but they are busy carrying their luggage or attending their crying kids, and nobody keeps their eyes on you for longer than 3 seconds, however, hundreds pass by, and the frequency is common
** (1) Anthony watches Tristin on the tv and shakes his head **
(1) Anthony: "I don't know if he can find any place vacant at an airport.
(1) Anthony: "We can't talk to him through this scrying window, can we?"
(3) Robin: "I can try out my telepathy
(5) Tristin: "Fuck.. fuck...." looks for an unlocked car
(1) Anthony: "Oh, you have telepathy? Cool. Give it at ry."
(5) Tristin: ((shifting the odds))
(3) Robin: telepathy(mind 3+ gnosis3=6)
(2) Konrad Knox: -2

** (1) Anthony looks at his TV, "I guess he expects you to maket he portal in that subaru." **
(3) Robin: "If its the only isolated spot, We'll have to make due."
(1) Anthony: "Should he comehere, or you want ot go tyhere and see if we can help if there is a bomb?"
** (3) Robin drops the scrying portal, tapping the screen once. **
(3) Robin: "I'm thinking we pull him for questioning."
(1) Anthony: (( you should leave the portal open to be able to use it to cast hte other portal ))
(1) Anthony: "Okay, grab something from the subaru to use it as a sympathetic connection then. LIke something from teh glove box."
(1) Anthony: "So you can make a portal back."
(3) Robin: ((It helps?))
(1) Anthony: (( seeing something through a portal only gives you the -2 penalty I belive ))
(3) Robin: ((oh, thats nice))

(3) Robin: ((I take back closing it then, ;p))
(1) Anthony: (( and we don't have our mana bi.. er, kurtis here with us either XD ))
(2) Konrad Knox: ((mmm, not quite. -2 is sympathetic penalty when casting on Tristin... if she mixes two spells at gnosis 3, there is no penalty... ))
(1) Anthony: (( no pentalty when casting through a scrying portal? ))
(2) Dealer: ((if it's yours, and you're using weaving at gnosis 3... i think not, let me see.))
(1) Anthony: (( according to the book, I can't find casting htrough a portal. thought I had once, but I woudl also say it coudl be considered sensory maybe, although I remembre a penalty in terralthra's game he may have had it wrong ))
(2) Konrad Knox: ((he had it wrong, and i will make a house rule for it. to cast through a scrying portal, we can do two things: either cast apportation, and then if it succeeds, cast into the scrying window, or give a -2 additional penalty))
(2) Konrad Knox: ((apportation is a spell letting you remotely affect things by touching them through strands of space))
(2) Konrad Knox: ((so, it could be one way. cast that spell, then cast whatever spell you wanted, if it succeeds))
(3) Robin: ((i'll just do -2 for simplicity))
(1) Anthony: (( actualy, it is talked about ithe book ))
(1) Anthony: (( someone can cast BACKWARD through a scrying portal without space 2 ))
(1) Anthony: (( they just need 1 higher dot in the arcana than nomral to cast it ))
(1) Anthony: (( It says a sympathetic spell causes a sympathtic conneciton to occur, so I think no penalty? ))
(2) Konrad Knox: ((ok, then she can cast through her own portal at no penalty. anybody else though will get -2 penalty))
(3) Robin: ((sweet.))

** (1) Anthony shakes his head, "He needs to lay off the crystal meth." **

(5) Tristin: "I just got back from China..." *smiles and hands Robin a handfull of rather small fireworks*
(5) Tristin: "The really good ones were too hard to smuggle back"
** (3) Robin grins widley, putting them in her purse **

(2) Kurtis: that requires... prime, i recall
(4) Eve: ((Eve's aura is that of a younger woman, probably not yet in her mid-twenties, she seems to be very healthy, vibrant, and oddly immune to a number of deseases and toxins))
(2) Kurtis: "Hi Robin. How you been? Tee, you look... taller and more chinese? How's time treatin' ya? Tony, good to see you man."
** (4) Eve looks you all over with Prime sight bwaaaaaa **

** (2) Kurtis is pulsing wildly with raw power, his signature is that of Obrimos, if Eve ever seen one **
** (1) Anthony 's aura appears to be be of a deep jungle with animal sounds **
(4) Eve: ((many in fact..))
(5) Tristin: Tristin's aura is faint if even detected. He seems adept in Time in Fate, dabbling in Space, but Time seems his strongest arcana.
(2) Kurtis: Tristin, if you now care to use occultation, you may, and detecting your arcana at Eve's level would be impossible
(1) Anthony: (( that is, when you see Tony he seems to be in the midst of a deep jungle with animal sounds about him, an impressoin ))
(5) Tristin: It's a merit, to my understanding it's always active.
(2) Kurtis: Eve, you can tell faintly Tristin is not a sleeper, but you cannot see his aura
(3) Robin: robins aura seems plain. Nothing too out of the ordinary as far as the awakened go, anyways.
(2) Kurtis: ((Robin, your space is 4 and gnosis 3, you're pretty shiny.))
(2) Kurtis: ((the higher your gnosis, the brighter you are))

(4) Eve: ((I call the afro!))
(3) Robin: ((skip the makeup and give me body paint))
** (4) Eve stands in the back of the elevator if possible holding her purse close **
** (2) Kurtis waits for everyone in the elevator and takes it up to the 16'th floor, Tony already familiar with the situation, they are going to the same office Annette the vampire woman, met them in **
(1) Anthony: (( it syas that all mage sights can be used to sense supernatural power, so I think that all mage sights could tell if someone is a mage or not ))
(1) Anthony: (( pp 110 ))
** (5) Tristin follows behind closely, quietly, and observing. **
(2) Kurtis: ((i think other sights can tell you everything about that arcana, regarding a person, like you could see if someone has life or not if u have life sight. but only prime sight takes them all apart, that was my impression. she has arcana that none of you have and hence ... doesnt matter, you'll know she's a mage fairly soon :D ))
** (4) Eve is a mage :) ;) **
(1) Anthony: (( although it says that prime to see soemone's aura, so maybe not :/ ))
(1) Anthony: (( well, remember terralthra's description how a mage is brighter, so to speak ))
** (1) Anthony shrugs **
(1) Anthony: (( open for interpretation ))
(2) Kurtis: "Man, some crazy shit is happening, I don't know what, but the boss asked me to gather us all. Something has to do with us being young and hard to detect. Something about a stone. What stone, I don't know. All I know is Annette and I are being shipped to Netherlands tomorrow. So... I wish you guys best of luck on whatever it is."
(2) Kurtis: "They say the city is in danger, but i don't know the whole story."
(1) Anthony: "A stone? Not a soul stone I hope."
** (2) Kurtis shrugs **
(2) Kurtis: "Ask the big boss. My job is far too simple. Tracking people and bringing them. Here you guys are."
(1) Anthony: "As for the city in danger, I saw in a dream an airport being destoryed, attacked. And Tristin saw something about the casino. So something seems to be up."
(4) Eve: "I doubt it. A simple soul stone could not cause catastrphies this large. Visions being what they are."
** (1) Anthony looks at Eve, "You've also had visions? Interesting." **
** (2) Kurtis adjusts his tie as the elevator dings and the doors open into the wide office, gray carpet, oak furniture, dark red velvet walls, in the background of the big wooden desk and the black leather chair - a window, making up the entire panoramic view of New Haven below you **
** (1) Anthony steps out of the elevator behind Kurtis **
** (4) Eve steps out lastish looking behind her at the rest of the room before heading forward **
** (5) Tristin enters the office, taking in his suroundings **
** (3) Robin files out with the crowd. looking around the room **
(5) Tristin: Post Cognition to see what kind of discussions take place here.
(5) Tristin: [6d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [9,3,8,1,2,3] = (2)
** (2) Kurtis steps aside and politely shows you all in, as the man at the desk stands up and walks to you. He is a strong build, a short black beard on his face, trimmed hair, he looks sturdy as a rock, and his aura seems to be very vaguely visible. The most obvious and noticeable thing about this man - is he is completely clad in full metal plate armor, entirely unfitting to the office. **
** (1) Anthony looks at the familiar office and looks behind the desk to see who is there now **
(2) Konrad Knox: Tristin gets some information now
** (1) Anthony looks at the man with a little bit of shock, not used to seeing people wearing full mail armor in this day and age **
whispering to Shawn (Tristin), Here you can see people discuss unpaid debts and assassination contracts, money lending and money laundering, tightening security and making the casino equipment magicproof, among the events, you can see Kurtis and Tony here negotiating a deal with a vampire woman, who hands them a capsule of Jones's blood
** (4) Eve bats her lashes a few times her lips pursing for a moment at the oddity of suit and office **
** (3) Robin just tries not to stare **
(1) Anthony: Wow, a forces mage would have a field day with him. One little shock...
** (5) Tristin zones back into the present watching the man in the armor. **
(2) Kurtis: "Mister, Willow, here they are. Except this one" - points at Eve, "she just found me looking for traces of T.J. She wanted to find those who took him out, and here we all stand before you."
** (2) Jared Willow looks over the people **
** (1) Anthony glances at Kurits wondering about the absense of the other people who helped but says nothing and looks at the man in the arrmor **
(2) Jared Willow: "My name is Jared Willow. Welcome, please, come in and take a seat."
** (1) Anthony strolls over and sits down **
(5) Tristin: ((plenty of seats?))
** (2) Jared Willow gestures at the number of leather seats in front of the desk **
(2) Jared Willow: ((plenty of seats, even morethan needed))
** (3) Robin takes a seat **
** (4) Eve strolls over and sits down smoothing her skirt down as she does **
** (5) Tristin sits down in one of the seats **
(2) Jared Willow: "Good work, Mister Kerner, well, you know what to do. Annette's already got your tickets, so... good luck, report as soon as you have it in possession."
** (2) Jared Willow notices the odd looks upon him and coughs awkwardly... **
(1) Anthony: "You know, they make bullet proof jackets now..."
(5) Tristin: "You can turn into a bear...."
(5) Tristin: "Oh him... *chuckles*"
(2) Jared Willow: "I'm sorry. It is a bit grotesque, but i just landed." - he closes his eyes and the armor dissolves with soft orange glowing, shaping gradually into a business suit, with a soft crackling, only the man's thick neck and sharp face stay the same... in a matter of seconds he is no longer armored
(1) Anthony: "Better."
(2) Jared Willow: "I wish bullets were to worry about. Any of you can beat a bullet naked."
** (2) Kurtis quietly goes into the room in the back of the office, leaving the door open, you all can see him taking off his office suit, leaving only the white cotton shirt, strapping gun holsters on, putting a pair of desert eagles in, and reaching to a tall under-the-glass weapon stand for his sword. Strapping it to his back he walks out. **
(4) Eve: "Could but would perfer not to if possible."
** (1) Anthony 's eyes go wide, "Looks like you're preparing for war." **
(2) Jared Willow: "We are preparing to prevent one. Now, let's make things a bit clearer."
(2) Kurtis: "Good luck, my friends. Tony. Tristin. Robin. Eve."
(5) Tristin: "See you Kurt."
(1) Anthony: "Kurtis. Good luck, and don't freeze."
(3) Robin: "byekurtis."
(1) Anthony: "Oh, right, you're forces. never midn hten."
** (4) Eve nods goodbye to the man she just met. **
** (2) Kurtis closes his eyes the side window opens wide, Kurtis disappears from sight, and you can see but a blast of wind and a whistling sound, as something flies out the window **
(2) Jared Willow: "Hm. If he likes to be Superman so much... why does he even keep that car..."
(4) Eve: "Needs a place to keep the cape.."
** (2) Jared Willow laughs heartily **
(2) Jared Willow: "A Thyrsus, an Acanthus, a Mastigos... and a Moros.. I suppose will be joining you, is that right?"
** (1) Anthony looks around, "Moros?" **
** (2) Jared Willow looks at Eve questioning **
** (1) Anthony looks at Eve and frowns **
** (2) Jared Willow stands and walks around the room **
(5) Tristin: "Is Roger back?
(5) Tristin: "
** (4) Eve gives a girl next door smile that does not fit in with the black eyes and white hair **
** (1) Anthony nods at Eve, "I thinkshe would be the Moros" **
(4) Eve: "We are all here to do what we are all here to do."
(4) Eve: "When even the dead worry after the future there is something great coming."
** (1) Anthony turns back to Willow, "All I know is people are getting preminitions and dreams and such that something bad is going to happen, whatever it is, we need to stop it." **
(2) Jared Willow: "Thirty five days ago, a powerful councelor of the Guardians of Veil, a manslayer of half-hundred mages, and a Supreme Keeper disappeared out of all sights and ranges of every single faction who loved or hated the son of a bitch."
(4) Eve: "They are having a huge party in the Shadow realm to celebrate I hear."
(1) Anthony: "Oh, shoot, the Guardians of the Veil would have something against us. Becuase of Liza."
(2) Jared Willow: "Story tells he was defeated by four very young mages. Their traces were too weak to detect them."
(2) Jared Willow: "Liza?"
** (1) Anthony looks at Willow, "Kurtis didn't tell you about her?" **
(5) Tristin: "4 mages?"
(1) Anthony: "A little over a month ago we saved her life from her father who it seems wanted to kill her, because she wants to write a paper on magic."
(1) Anthony: "She aquired one of the seemingly rare books somehow and he found out."
(1) Anthony: "The guardians of the Veil I think would do anything to keep her from writing that paper."
(2) Jared Willow: "That makes sense... how did you ever manage to do what no other was able to? Nobody knew he even had a child."
(1) Anthony: "Interestingly enough, this happened a little over a month ago."
(1) Anthony: "We didnt' even know until it came up when someone read his mind."
(2) Jared Willow: "Well, many many people would be thanking you right now. But it is important that they don't. There is a mission of utmost importance, that I think I can trust you with."
(1) Anthony: "He is now in someother...place. A weird realm or world or dimention, I'm not sure. It doesn't seem to follow the same laws as here."
** (4) Eve arches a curious brow. **
** (1) Anthony nods, "Go on. So this councelor of the guardians disappeared, and I'm guessing you want us to find him?" **
(5) Tristin: "I think Jones is the councelor..."
(2) Jared Willow: "No. I was referring to Timothy Jones."
(4) Eve: "Was would be the correct term now."
(2) Jared Willow: "Correct."
(1) Anthony: "Oh. Then that's simple. We know where he is. He's the one trapped in the other dimention"
(2) Jared Willow: "He doesn't matter. Keep him there."
(1) Anthony: "Or whatever it is."
(4) Eve: "They have another task that needs done."
** (1) Anthony nods, "Okay." **
(5) Tristin: "What do we need to do?"
(2) Jared Willow: "What matters is that you are the ones who did it. And no other new mages recently come out to be something worthy. In fact I've heard Jones took one of your former friends under his wing, which lead to his demise."
(1) Anthony: "Yes, roger."
(1) Anthony: "he's stuck in that other realm also."
(2) Jared Willow: "What you have a unique ability to do, mages of higher power are incapable of doing without raising a lot of unnecessary noise, which in this case would be disastrous. But because the job is stealthy, it does not undermine its unique importance for the safety of millions."
(2) Jared Willow: "Are you certain that you would agree to risk your lives to save vast numbers of sleepers? Some of them are innocent, some of them are not. But a war knows no good or bad."
** (2) Jared Willow looks at Eve **
(1) Anthony: "Without question speaking for myself."
(5) Tristin: "I'll do it.."
(4) Eve: "I see enough death on a daily basis, a little less of it would be pleasant"
(3) Robin: "Well, alright."
(2) Jared Willow: "Are you comfortable working in a team, especially with a mage of Death, which I know, you had bad experience with. I believe Miss Kline here would be quite useful to you in this journey."
** (1) Anthony looks at Eve, "Well, I guess it mainly depends on her. I've met two Moros so far. One tried to kill me, then the other one tried to help him. They don't have a very good track record in my book." **
(4) Eve: "I promise not to try to kill you if that helps." *smiles charmingly*
(2) Jared Willow: "Since I had to borrow mister Kerner from you, it would only be fair that someone trustworthy and solid of mind would help you."
(1) Anthony: "Or tried to kill his daughter, anyway but.. I'll work with Eve until she proves to be a traitor."
(5) Tristin: "If she's anything like the last Moros, even if she turns on us she won't be a problem..."
** (4) Eve smirk **
** (2) Jared Willow arches a cruious brow **
** (2) Jared Willow takes out a few slides and places them in front of you **
(1) Anthony: "Well, I'm not sure if that's the power of Moros, or the person who wielded that power. Roger didn't seem too... inspiratoinal, if you know what i mean."
(2) Jared Willow: on the first slide you can see some asian dude. roll int+academics, monkeys!
(5) Tristin: [3d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [9,[10, 9],6] = (2)
(1) Anthony: int 3 + aca 1 [4d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [7,6,3,4] vs 8 result of a failure
(4) Eve: ((Is not a monkey...))
(5) Tristin: ((3))
(1) Anthony: (( nice roll tris ))
(5) Tristin: ((Thanks))
(4) Eve: Int 3, ac 1 = 4
** (4) Eve found the F3 macro key **
(4) Eve: [4d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [[10, 3],6,3,3] = (1)
(3) Robin: [2d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [6,7] = (0)
(1) Anthony: (( there's a 6.74% chance of getting 3 successes on 3 dice ))
(4) Eve: Encyclopedic Knowledge?
(2) Jared Willow: yes, include merit
(5) Tristin: ((not if Fate is on your side))
(4) Eve: Int 3 + wit 2 = 5
(1) Anthony: (( does uchawi get a roll? ))
(4) Eve: [5d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [7,4,7,8,4] = (1)
(4) Eve: (fails at life)
(2) Jared Willow: Robin and Tony, you see some asian dude in a funny hat.
(4) Eve: (lol))
(5) Tristin: ((The Moros Curse!!!!))
(1) Anthony: (( uchawi is a knowledge spirit after all :P ))
(2) Jared Willow: (correct, if you ask him he will tell you. :D ))
(2) Jared Willow: Eve and Tristin, you recognize Lord Tamerlane, the Last Great Nomad Power
(1) Anthony: "Okay, so a picture of an asian dude."
(1) Anthony: "Funny looking hat though" Tony shrugs
(4) Eve: "Oh hey they did a special report on him on the China New channel on cable.. he's a Lord of Nomads or something.. eesh.. Tamerlane I think..."
(2) Jared Willow: "Tamerlane, the great Mongolian conqueror and the slayer of millions. His Turkic name is Timur, which means 'iron'. In his life time, he has conquered more than anyone else except for Alexander. His armies crossed Eurasia from Delhi to Moscow, Russia, from the Tien Shan Mountains of Central Asia to the Taurus Mountains in Anatolia. From 1370 till his death 1405, Temur built a powerful empire and became the last of great nomadic leaders.
(1) Anthony: "More powerful than Ghingis?"
(4) Eve: "Just didn't have as good a press secretary I suppose."
** (2) Jared Willow pulls out the next slide, and you see... some dude with a real funny Charlie Chaplin mustache and a military hat... and once again the academic rolls **
(4) Eve: ((yay!))
(1) Anthony: int 3 + aca 1 [4d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [7,4,2,2] vs 8 result of a failure
(5) Tristin: [3d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [5,5,6] = (0)
(3) Robin: [2d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [6,7] = (0)
(4) Eve: [4d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [5,9,[10, 2],7] = (2)
(2) Jared Willow: Eve recognizes Adolf Hitler
(1) Anthony: (( oh come one, EVERYONE knwos adolph hitler ))
(5) Tristin: ((For real))
(2) Jared Willow: ((ok, ok, im kidding, u all recognise him XD))
(1) Anthony: (( he's infamous ))
(2) Jared Willow: ((just wanted Eve to get her history cookies :D ))
(1) Anthony: "Hitler. I recognize him."
(1) Anthony: "probably the most hated man in all history."
(5) Tristin: "Thought that was Roger?"
(2) Jared Willow: "Correct. What connects these two people aside from being great dictators among others known? What connects them to other great conquerors?"
(1) Anthony: "Dont tell me, they were awakened?"
(4) Eve: "A degree in art?"
(2) Jared Willow: "As you probably know, the two worlds on both sides fo the Gauntlet coexist at the same time apart from the realm of Mages. The physical realm and that of a Shadow."
(1) Anthony: (( dang it, kurtis has the dragon coin :P ))
(4) Eve: ((lol))
(4) Eve: ((*grin!*))
(5) Tristin: ((LOL))
(3) Robin: ((awww))
(2) Jared Willow: "Every time there is a great war thrown upon the lives of humanity, countless souls are freed from their physical shells, willingly and unwillingly. Every time such a gargantuan disaster happens, it results in a sort of... overflow, an extreme income of energy into the world of ghosts. The rage and hatred and the raw power throws the balance of energy off the scales, and many have to clean up the mess afterwards to keep the very structure of the universe in tact. It is the very reason why most mages believe that War is to be avoided at all costs."
(4) Eve: "Emotion and passion is all that keeps a ghost what it is. Too many in one place and the threads of reaility even begin to quiver with the excess" *nods*
(1) Anthony: "So what connects them is they killed a lot of people?"
(2) Jared Willow: "The last time such a massive thing happened was during what sleepers know as World War II, and before that World War I, or, as they are known among the mages, the Great Spirit Wars I and II. Many Moros mages had to stand guard and strain for the cause of preserving balance, many surrendered their lives, among with countless Obrimos, Acanthus, Thyrsus... and Mastigos."
(1) Anthony: (( didn't you mean Moros? ))
(2) Jared Willow: ((all of em))
(2) Jared Willow: ((Moros were mentioned in the beginning of the sentence as they took the biggest hit, directly involved in repairing the shadow realm))
(5) Tristin: "So how do we stop the war?"
(2) Jared Willow: "To establish a connection we have been working with the keepers of Mysterium to discover this: The King Stone." - he shows you a slide with a picture of a gem on it, cut and polished looking like a bigass amethyst
(1) Anthony: "Pretty."
(4) Eve: "Ahh... that's what they were..." *stops and smiles*
(5) Tristin: "Were?"
(1) Anthony: "So you've been trying to find this King Stone becasuse?"
(5) Tristin: ((Ignore that... two black fonts... v.v))
(2) Jared Willow: "This stone is centuries old. In 1398 clerics who found it placed it under the crib of young Tamerlane. In 1889 the stone was given to Adolf's Mother Klara Poltz
(1) Anthony: "Oh, let me guess, it's cursed. Or possessed. Or something."
(4) Eve: "It changes fates."
(2) Jared Willow: "Between those two events the stone has been ceased by force and disappeared from our sight several more times. We do not have confirmed data on who possessed it. It could have been Napoleon, it could have been Chenges... but we finally caught up with it in 1945, where we kept it safe, made into a silver ring, away, in the vault."
(1) Anthony: "Is that an actual picutre of hte stone, or just one like it? It could make a difference."
(1) Anthony: "Why didn't you destroy it?"
(2) Jared Willow: "The stone itself is enchanted with powers of Destiny, Time, Mind, Spirit, Life, Death, and perhaps even Prime. It was a product of combined sorcery of people far more powerful than its bearers. One who is born with this stone is destined to become a great dictator. Global, insanely gigantic proportion of influence on masses."
(4) Eve: "Why else would an artist suddenly be able to nearly take over the world"
(1) Anthony: 'So, let me guess, it's disappeared from your vault."
(2) Jared Willow: "When the Guardians of the Veil and the Silver Ladder took possession of the stone, they could not agree on what to do. The Free Council insited on destruction, the Mysterium kept institing on studying it to unweave the spell for academic purpose, for the sense of accomplishment, funny if you ask me. The Guardians wanted to preserve it in case of need. Quarrel arised, and now... recently, just several months ago it was lost again. Only now they have realized that they should have destroyed it. With current weapons people have invented, a new dictator will be an absolute one."
(1) Anthony: "You said before 'we finally cuaght it..." Who is we? Who are you with?"
(2) Jared Willow: "After countless millions of slaughtered souls, and centuries of failed attempts to undo the spell, they finally decided to let their greed for knowledge go. I come to you on my own initiative, not in the name of all the factions now, to ask you to find it and destroy it. If the stone is given to the higher up, there will begin quarrel again. It must be destroyed quietly."
(5) Tristin: "How do we find it?"
** (1) Anthony nods, "Find it, destroy it. That I have no problem with as long as it is what you say it is. But who are you with? The Guardians? The Seekers?" **
(4) Eve: "When you say lost do you mean stolen? Where was it kept? That would be a start."
(2) Jared Willow: "I stand with the Adamantine Arrow, and I am only your messenger. This casino's manager is my old friend, and he let me use it for a secure audience with you. Not many know I'm here. The person who will show you how to destroy the stone, is the one you have to meet. She... will help you with finding it, and she is the one who wants it out of existance."
(1) Anthony: "Adamantine Arrow." Tony nods, "Makes sense. Well, I have no problem with destorying, or having it destoryed, if it is as you say, which I don't doubt it is. So, we need to meet someone else."
(2) Jared Willow: "The stone is clearly stolen. It was always stolen to raise a powerful leader. Where it is, I do not know. For more details, you must find Mistress Hannah Riley. She was the one who sent me to you as a volunteer."
(5) Tristin: "Who are they?"
(4) Eve: "The Adamantine Arrow?"
(5) Tristin: "yeah"
(1) Anthony: "Mistress Hannah Riley. Where would we find her?
(1) Anthony: "The adamantine arrow are like warriors"
(4) Eve: "Hmm... I suppose you could call them the Mage army"
(5) Tristin: "Ohh..."
(2) Jared Willow: "So far Adamantine Arrow has been working for Mysterium to locate the stone, but I know that they will keep it. The Guardians of the Veil are all for preservation. There reason you saw me armored is because I was chased all the way from Brooklyn flying here, until I reached New Haven."
(2) Jared Willow: "We know that the stone is here, in New Haven. But everyone has to be covert, because as soon as one faction finds the stone, everyone will jump them. Hundreds of mages are now in this city, looking for it."
(1) Anthony: "Oh great."
(1) Anthony: "Tell me, why doesn't someone just scry it?"
(2) Jared Willow: "Hannah betrayed her own idology in favor of destroying the stone, and I have betrayed my contract to help her."
(1) Anthony: "Hanna is a member of the Guardians?"
(2) Jared Willow: "Signatures. By using our powers on the level we are, everyone knows who did what. This is where you come in. Your candles are so small and bleak in this madness of hot bright stars, that you have a chance to slip past everyone's feet."
** (4) Eve smiles slightly **
(5) Tristin: "I feel like you are calling us weak..."
(2) Jared Willow: "Hannah works for the Mysterium, the keepers of the very knowledge itself. For most of them, studying magic is the greatest reward for the studying. They want to know how something like the King's Stone was created, and want to unravel it with pure magic power, instead of breaking its shell."
** (2) Jared Willow darts his gaze at Tristin **
(1) Anthony: "So, basically we'll be pretty much unnoticable. Of course once they find out it was destroyed, then they'll look for our signatures and know who we are. So we'll be making some enemies. Not that hte guardians aren't already not on my shit list."
** (1) Anthony turns to tristin, "Weak in power, not in ability, as we've proven." **
(1) Anthony: "Which is why he's asking for us, we are weak in power, but know how to use it well. A compliment actually."
(2) Jared Willow: "Weak is the least what you are, young Tristin! Your weakness is your greatest strength! Whether your spirit is strong or not, this endeavor will determine. One of you already decided to risk his life to determine his own strength. If Kurtis gets out of this alive, he will find power. If not, he will perish, and it was his decision. I knew what I asked him to do when I did so."
(1) Anthony: "What is Kurtis after?"
(2) Jared Willow: "I ask this of you because you have a talent and know how to use it, Jones underestimated you, and he paid for it."
** (1) Anthony grins, "Watch out for is flying drop kick." **
(2) Jared Willow: "Kurtis has orders from Hannah to assist the other side of this operation, somewhat providing a cover for you. But with the rate of scanning currently... there must be absolutely no magical contact with him."
(2) Jared Willow: "Especially from you."
** (2) Jared Willow looks to all four of you **
** (4) Eve shrugs **
(4) Eve: "I hardly know him don't worry about me."
** (2) Jared Willow nods, and looks over everyone again **
(2) Jared Willow: "So, do you accept?"
(5) Tristin: "Don't worry."
(4) Eve: "I've got some time off work saved up.. why not."
(1) Anthony: "yes."
(3) Robin: "yeah, alright."
(5) Tristin: "Yeah, I'm in."
(1) Anthony: If the Guardians want this, I'm going to destory it if it kills me.
** (2) Jared Willow hands you four business cards, they have Hannah's contact infomation. **
(1) Anthony: "So, where do we meet Hannah?"
** (1) Anthony looks at the card, reads it and puts it in his pocket **
(2) Jared Willow: The card info is: Eagle Street, Building B, Suite 128
** (1) Anthony turns to Eve, "You have a car right?" **
** (5) Tristin drops the card into his backpack **
(4) Eve: ((( it doesn't have a street number?))
(2) Jared Willow: "Eagle Street Building, Horace Insurance agency, she is vice president there. I must be off. Good luck to you, Anthony, Robin, Tristin, and Eve. It was nice to know you..."
** (2) Jared Willow sighs with a bit of impending doom in his breath **
(4) Eve: "That implies either we or you shall not survive this."
** (3) Robin nods to the man. **
** (1) Anthony stands up and extends his hand, "Nice to meet you and good luck." **
** (1) Anthony looks at the time, "Would she be in the office now? It's rathe rlate." **
(2) Jared Willow: "There is no regrets when mages have to fight for the lives of innocents! We have power because we are worthy of using it! Find Hannah, she is waiting for you. Eagerly"
(1) Anthony: "Yes sir."
(2) Jared Willow: ((stop messing with map, lol. u are at red dot, you need to be at yellow dot))
** (1) Anthony heads to the elevator, "Good luck with your own mission" **
(1) Anthony: (( I see no map map. ))
(4) Eve: ((what map))
(1) Anthony: (( pretty good eye sight ))
(1) Anthony: (( there is no map ))
** (2) Jared Willow rotates on his heels, growls readily, and the armor clads him, as a gigantic spear appears in his hand and he flies through the window, without breaking the glass, and disappears with a loud roar **
(5) Tristin: ((There is no spoon))
(2) Jared Willow: ((damn, map lagging. lets have it load first...))
(1) Anthony: "I guess no one fears paradoxes around here."
(4) Eve: "When you've got the opinion that you are about to die a little paradox must not be a biggie"
(2) Jared Willow: ((map doesnt want to load... well the address is in the south east part of town, kinda towards direction to the Kassie Hollow, but still in the city.))
** (1) Anthony walks to the elevator and asks Eve, "So, do you have your own car? I have a sports car and it was a squeeze for the three of us. If not someone's riding in the trunk" Tony looks at Tristin **
(4) Eve: 'I have my own transportation yes."
** (1) Anthony gets in the elevator and pusshes the gorund floor button **
** (5) Tristin follows them to the elevator **
** (4) Eve gets in the elevator standing in the back if possible. **
** (3) Robin follows along **
** (1) Anthony stands on the side of hte elevator not wanting a known Moros to stand behidn him **
(2) Kurtis: all the way to the parking lot everything is fine, nobody follows you, nobody looks at you wierd
** (1) Anthony looks to see what car Eve gets into before driving off **
(5) Tristin: ((Except maybe the freak in the black robes))
** (4) Eve gets on a black motocycle and starts it up **
(2) Kurtis: eve dex+drive
(4) Eve: ... (I hate you Kurtis)
(4) Eve: ((hate!))
(2) Kurtis: ((eve is a biker who has no drive or bike skills))
(4) Eve: I'm blowing a willpower dang it. and next time you assume you can breath I'll have you roll stamina)
(4) Eve: [4d10.open(10).vs(8)] => [7,7,2,9] = (1)
(4) Eve: :P!!!!
(1) Anthony: (( normally you wouldnt' have to use a driving skill for normal driving, only special things like evading, jumping over a ditch, etc.. ))
(2) Konrad Knox: ((i know, im just dissing :D ))
(2) Konrad Knox: Eve does not fall off the bike :D
** (1) Anthony drives to the yellow dot **
(4) Eve: ((totally buying drive with my next XP..))
(2) Konrad Knox: it would look bad in front of the boys so she focuses hard
** (4) Eve also drives to the yellow dot **
(2) Konrad Knox: you all arrive at the place eventually. no problems on the way. a big tall building about 30-40 stories tall.
(4) Eve: ((technically since my vice is pride and I didn't fall off I could request a willpower back ))

(2) Konrad Knox: Tristin and Robin, you walk up the stairs.... walking walking...
** (5) Tristin looks at the room numbers on the first floor. **
(2) Konrad Knox: Anthony and Eve, the elevator seems to go on forever, and as soon as it reaches 42'nd floor it just keeps going

(2) Hannah Rliey: "42nd floor? There is no 42nd floor! I'm on the 12th. Tony, get out of there now!"
** (1) Anthony presses STOP on the elevator **

(2) Konrad Knox: she's getting more active.
(1) Anthony: (( I probalby would of listened to him, but you made the deception roll in session so it might of been metagame knowledge so couldn't use it ))
(1) Anthony: yeah, robin is getting a little more proactive
(5) Tristin: Listening to the Acanthus isn't meta gaming.
(2) Konrad Knox: so, i like Claire's way of exp, though if one of you makes me laugh hardest, i will usually give extra 1 exp. the way Terra did. But its gonna be learning curve, and 2 Rp nods.
(1) Anthony: What did I learn? Hmm...
(1) Anthony: tony hates Guardians of the Vale
(4) Eve: You already knew that..
(4) Eve: ;)
(2) Konrad Knox: 7 hr game. so its ... what is it...

(4) Eve: ahhhh
(2) Konrad Knox: 2 for showing up, 1 per 2hrs, so 6xp each.
(1) Anthony: I learned that Tristin on his own trying to find a hidden place is funny as hell

(1) Anthony: Robin and Tristin. Sorry Eve, you wreen't in enough to get an impression
(1) Anthony: with 7 exp... I'm going life 4 baby!
(4) Eve: Tony and Tristin because Tony doesn't like Moros and shows it well, and Tristin is vauge like forturn tellers always seem to be.
(3) Robin: tony for creative use of getting rid of mold and tristin for the firework show.
(5) Tristin: Tony for driving me... three times. And Robin for the scrying and teleports.

(2) Konrad Knox: as now you have very NPC little backup. warrior necklace still there of course, and your 8-charge luck necklaces, Tristin has 7 charges on it
(1) Anthony: The thing is, if we were all in the elevator, we would of had more to go against whatever is agasint us, now there's only 2 of us though
(2) Konrad Knox: the other 2 can find out a way to save you form the outside, who knows?

(2) Konrad Knox: kurtis said specifically to come prepared, so assume u came prepared
(1) Anthony: I think they'd just be water by now, no?
(2) Konrad Knox: i dunno
(4) Eve: spells stays for a while Kassies Gnosis is pretty high.
(1) Anthony: Without exta duratoin thrown into the spell, they would last an hour
(1) Anthony: it depends on the duration thrown intot he spell
(2) Konrad Knox: it was a ritual
(2) Konrad Knox: rituals pwn majorly
(1) Anthony: so they might still be good then
(2) Konrad Knox: ya
(1) Anthony: tony would know anyway casue he could look at them with life sight
(2) Konrad Knox: with amount of things you will fight in this chapter, i would be all for healing pots
(1) Anthony: I forget how they were packaged

(4) Eve: I was hoping he would say something more than I have a feeling so I wouldn't have to..
(4) Eve: *shrugs*
(1) Anthony: Only becuase of Shadow run
(2) Konrad Knox: he didnt get much more, he only beat the guy by one
(1) Anthony: I only stepped intot he elevator because of my shadowrun experience
(1) Anthony: In shadowrun our characters became majaory paranoid about two things, 1. opening doors 2. stepping in elevators
(2) Konrad Knox: lol
(1) Anthony: I decided I wouldn't be paranoid here... and look where it got me
(1) Anthony: You read hte log about the rat door didn't you?
(2) Konrad Knox: nais
(2) Konrad Knox: yeah

(1) Anthony: Did you subconsiously pick floor 42 for it's deep philosophical significance?
(2) Konrad Knox: of course
