[2013-09-21 23:51:57] <@Bryce-GM> haha [2013-09-21 23:52:19] <@Bryce-GM> Okay [2013-09-21 23:52:37] <@Bryce-GM> so Epona will have a good equine crossbow and 24 bolts in two magazines [2013-09-21 23:52:41] OK [2013-09-21 23:52:45] <@Bryce-GM> and RRC Air Armor [2013-09-21 23:52:49] <@Bryce-GM> and Wingblades. [2013-09-21 23:53:03] <@Bryce-GM> What does Rosie have, CD? [2013-09-21 23:53:09] <@Bryce-GM> For the purposes of this encounter. [2013-09-21 23:54:09] Back. I spilled chili sauce on the floor. [2013-09-21 23:55:04] Hmm, I don't see much for earth ponies in the weapons list. [2013-09-21 23:55:07] cool [2013-09-21 23:55:36] hey how do i add lauren to my fiends list [2013-09-21 23:56:50] <@Bryce-GM> On IRC? don't know offhand [2013-09-21 23:57:04] How about adding spiked horseshoes to the weapons list? [2013-09-21 23:57:15] <@Bryce-GM> Okay, before we begin, has anyone any general comments about Fudge Ponies [2013-09-21 23:57:18] <@Bryce-GM> @CD: Sure. [2013-09-21 23:57:48] <@Bryce-GM> To enhance bucking and stomping, I assume. [2013-09-21 23:57:49] Things went pretty okay last time. Hope the refinements are an improvement. [2013-09-21 23:58:40] Yeah, they'd improve unarmed combat the way brass knuckles would for bipedal hairless apes. [2013-09-21 23:59:12] <@Bryce-GM> I think the only thing to keep in mind is that I've codified the notion of what your turn consists of: [2013-09-21 23:59:28] <@Bryce-GM> a movement action and an attacking action (both, one, or neither.) [2013-09-21 23:59:35] <@Bryce-GM> anyway [2013-09-21 23:59:40] <@Bryce-GM> you ready Nate? [2013-09-21 23:59:44] And how about some kind of armor for ground ponies? [2013-09-22 00:00:18] <@Bryce-GM> Oh, yes. [2013-09-22 00:01:17] I think I'd go with something heavy for Rosie, but not with a heavy DEX penalty since she has nothing to compensate. [2013-09-22 00:01:40] <@Bryce-GM> Okay, So Rosie is wearing RRC Ground Armor and Spiked Horseshoes. [2013-09-22 00:01:48] <@Bryce-GM> Eppina: ping. [2013-09-22 00:01:53] ok [2013-09-22 00:02:00] <@Bryce-GM> https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/13w4jbXJMiA81r-Qe2CLtfuMLakuqUODqS5QzyDRnDtU/edit [2013-09-22 00:02:04] <@Bryce-GM> map is there, as before. [2013-09-22 00:03:02] is epona wearing both armor suites? [2013-09-22 00:03:15] <@Bryce-GM> Epona is wearing RRC Air Armor. [2013-09-22 00:03:25] <@Bryce-GM> Also, suites? [2013-09-22 00:03:49] Rosie gets the royal suite. Because she'd hate that. [2013-09-22 00:03:52] <@Bryce-GM> So, Epona and Rosie find themselves in a cave and are attacked by three diamond dogs and an equestrian royal guard, whom we will say is kinda drunk to even the odds. [2013-09-22 00:04:19] Cave. Guessed so. [2013-09-22 00:04:28] <@Bryce-GM> Firebug fell in a hole some time previously, so she isn't here at the moment. [2013-09-22 00:04:40] <@Bryce-GM> Rolling initiative. [2013-09-22 00:04:44] OK. [2013-09-22 00:05:38] <@Bryce-GM> Diamond Dog #2's turn. [2013-09-22 00:05:54] <@Bryce-GM> Diamond Dog #2 throws a rock at Epona. [2013-09-22 00:06:23] <@Bryce-GM> A hit. [2013-09-22 00:06:36] <@Bryce-GM> Damage resisted. [2013-09-22 00:06:47] <@Bryce-GM> Epona's turn. [2013-09-22 00:07:24] Hey! i don't much like the cut of your jib, sir! (fly upward to the cave ceiling, hopefully out of attack range) [2013-09-22 00:07:50] <@Bryce-GM> The cave ceiling is about 10m up, so no, although he will take a penalty to-hit. [2013-09-22 00:08:04] <@Bryce-GM> (range schedule on thrown rocks is only 5m) [2013-09-22 00:08:12] <@Bryce-GM> Do you attack? [2013-09-22 00:08:20] (Yes. Shoot for the center of its forehead.) [2013-09-22 00:09:00] <@Bryce-GM> A miss. [2013-09-22 00:09:32] <@Bryce-GM> Equestrian Royal Guard's turn. [2013-09-22 00:10:05] <@Bryce-GM> He moves forward and adopts a defensive stance. [2013-09-22 00:10:20] <@Bryce-GM> Diamond Dog #1's turn [2013-09-22 00:10:30] <@Bryce-GM> moves. [2013-09-22 00:10:35] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie's turn. [2013-09-22 00:10:51] How do I determine how far I can move on my turn? [2013-09-22 00:11:29] <@Bryce-GM> 3m. [2013-09-22 00:11:34] <@Bryce-GM> there's a scale bar. [2013-09-22 00:11:49] <@Bryce-GM> put the cursor where you want to move to/toward. [2013-09-22 00:12:10] (scale bars. Where the tequila doesn't have a worm, but a rattlesnake.) [2013-09-22 00:12:38] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie moves. [2013-09-22 00:12:43] <@Bryce-GM> Diamond Dog 3's turn. [2013-09-22 00:12:55] <@Bryce-GM> moves. [2013-09-22 00:13:03] <@Bryce-GM> New round. [2013-09-22 00:13:15] <@Bryce-GM> DD2 throws a rock at Rosie. [2013-09-22 00:13:22] <@Bryce-GM> A hit. [2013-09-22 00:13:30] <@Bryce-GM> Damage resisted. [2013-09-22 00:13:31] <@Bryce-GM> (uhoh) [2013-09-22 00:13:56] <@Bryce-GM> Epona's turn. [2013-09-22 00:14:23] (shoot at DD2's head, same as before) [2013-09-22 00:14:57] <@Bryce-GM> A hit. [2013-09-22 00:16:22] <@Bryce-GM> A minor wound. [2013-09-22 00:16:27] <@Bryce-GM> (Sorry, had to open the table.) [2013-09-22 00:16:32] (S'ok) [2013-09-22 00:17:10] <@Bryce-GM> Royal Guard's turn. [2013-09-22 00:17:20] <@Bryce-GM> Royal Guard Charges! [2013-09-22 00:18:14] <@Bryce-GM> Royal Guard manages to avoid hitting Diamond Dog 1 during the charge. [2013-09-22 00:18:32] <@Bryce-GM> Royal Guard attacks Rosie with a charging stomp fast attack. [2013-09-22 00:18:58] Rosie explodes like a ripe kiwi. [2013-09-22 00:19:09] <@Bryce-GM> The first fast attack is a hit. [2013-09-22 00:19:53] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie takes a minor wound. [2013-09-22 00:20:10] <@Bryce-GM> The second first attack is a hit. [2013-09-22 00:20:22] You mean second fast attack? [2013-09-22 00:20:26] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie takes a minor wound. The minor wounds stack. [2013-09-22 00:20:28] <@Bryce-GM> Yeah, sorry [2013-09-22 00:20:31] <@Bryce-GM> second fast attack. [2013-09-22 00:20:45] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie resists stunning. [2013-09-22 00:21:00] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie is tripped. [2013-09-22 00:21:01] ah, i miss the hicu map [2013-09-22 00:21:03] magenta atal [2013-09-22 00:21:24] <@Bryce-GM> The royal guard fails to neatly abort his charge and trips. [2013-09-22 00:21:33] <@Bryce-GM> The two of you land in a bloodied heap. [2013-09-22 00:21:50] Shoot for the guard's head. [2013-09-22 00:21:55] <@Bryce-GM> Diamond Dog 1's turn. [2013-09-22 00:22:00] oh. [2013-09-22 00:22:10] <@Bryce-GM> Moves forward and bites rosie. [2013-09-22 00:22:18] <@Bryce-GM> Hits (tripped.) [2013-09-22 00:22:31] <@Bryce-GM> Damage resisted. [2013-09-22 00:22:41] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie's turn. [2013-09-22 00:22:44] <@Bryce-GM> Untripped. [2013-09-22 00:22:58] <@Bryce-GM> Action? [2013-09-22 00:23:23] Buck the royal guard in his face! [2013-09-22 00:24:32] <@Bryce-GM> You hit (tripped) [2013-09-22 00:24:42] Rosie: Feel the hoof of the ponytariat's vengeance! [2013-09-22 00:25:18] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie inflicts a critical hit. [2013-09-22 00:25:30] <@Bryce-GM> Nice. [2013-09-22 00:25:34] (The guard's head explodes like in Dead Man) [2013-09-22 00:26:03] <@Bryce-GM> The Royal Guard critically fails his stun resistance check. He is killed instantly. [2013-09-22 00:26:22] <@Bryce-GM> Diamond Dog 3's turn. [2013-09-22 00:26:23] Rosie: Progress! [2013-09-22 00:26:39] <@Bryce-GM> Moves forward and throws a rock at Rosie [2013-09-22 00:26:51] <@Bryce-GM> A miss. [2013-09-22 00:26:55] <@Bryce-GM> New Round. [2013-09-22 00:27:07] <@Bryce-GM> Diamond Dog 2 moves and throws a rock at Rosie. [2013-09-22 00:27:20] <@Bryce-GM> A miss. [2013-09-22 00:27:25] <@Bryce-GM> Epona's turn. [2013-09-22 00:27:29] i attempt to shoot DD1 in the head. [2013-09-22 00:27:39] aim for the eye scket. [2013-09-22 00:27:41] socket. [2013-09-22 00:27:45] <@Bryce-GM> (You know, you'd hit more often if you didn't always make a called shot.) [2013-09-22 00:28:17] (yeah, but then you would go into great detail describing how the enemy is horrifically paralyzed and suffers the panicked horror of slowly suffocating while fully conscious and unable to move) [2013-09-22 00:28:26] <@Bryce-GM> Anyway, it's a hit this time, in the head, so I'll give it a +2 damage modifier. [2013-09-22 00:29:01] <@Bryce-GM> DD1 takes a major wound. [2013-09-22 00:29:16] ("Aaagh! My eye! It's like, it hurts so bad!") [2013-09-22 00:29:16] <@Bryce-GM> DD1 is stunned 3 turns. [2013-09-22 00:29:37] <@Bryce-GM> DD1's turn. Stunned. Rosie's turn. [2013-09-22 00:29:38] (Shouldn't he talk more like Gollum?) [2013-09-22 00:29:49] (Nah. stickman all the way.) [2013-09-22 00:29:51] STINKOMAN [2013-09-22 00:29:58] FUCK OFF IRC I KNOW HOW TO SPELL [2013-09-22 00:30:04] (epona abruptly screams) [2013-09-22 00:30:22] Charge Diamond Dog 3 and stomp. [2013-09-22 00:30:33] <@Bryce-GM> Insufficient distance to charge. [2013-09-22 00:30:46] <@Bryce-GM> Also, you are a unicorn, you can gore. [2013-09-22 00:31:00] <@Bryce-GM> Not sure why you'd stomp unless you're fast-attacking. [2013-09-22 00:31:08] Then just move and buck. Rosie's not really in touch with her unicorn-ness. [2013-09-22 00:31:18] <@Bryce-GM> ok! [2013-09-22 00:31:40] <@Bryce-GM> A hit, barely, [2013-09-22 00:32:12] Rosie: Equestria for Equestrians! [2013-09-22 00:32:16] <@Bryce-GM> … but the unarmed DD3 explodes in a shower of gibs due to a botched Damage Resistance roll. [2013-09-22 00:32:40] *** Eppina quit ( ) [2013-09-22 00:33:00] <@Bryce-GM> (Paused.) [2013-09-22 00:33:10] (DC'ed again?) [2013-09-22 00:34:08] <@Bryce-GM> I guess so [2013-09-22 00:34:16] (What the hell is it with lawmakers in the Southwest that they won't build real communication infrastructure?) [2013-09-22 00:35:20] <@Bryce-GM> It's probably more down to Nate not having a home internet connection and using wireless [2013-09-22 00:35:30] <@Bryce-GM> than to political factors. [2013-09-22 00:36:01] *** Eppina (~nateturne@75-173-101-226.albq.qwest.net) joined [2013-09-22 00:36:05] <@Bryce-GM> wb [2013-09-22 00:36:22] Yeah, but wireless works well enough here and even the less densely populated provinces. [2013-09-22 00:36:22] sorry [2013-09-22 00:36:31] Ah, welcome back. [2013-09-22 00:36:53] <@Bryce-GM> New Mexico is not the Netherlands in terms of "less densely populated" areas. [2013-09-22 00:37:31] <@Bryce-GM> So I imagine it would be a bit harder. [2013-09-22 00:37:34] <@Bryce-GM> Anyway [2013-09-22 00:37:39] New Mexico is a) [2013-09-22 00:37:43] Still, it's paying client of IP companies getting shafted. [2013-09-22 00:37:50] ~1/7 the population [2013-09-22 00:37:55] 7x the area [2013-09-22 00:38:07] of the netherlands [2013-09-22 00:38:50] <@Bryce-GM> Diamond Dog #2 produces a long cylindrical object from the tattered rags he wears. [2013-09-22 00:39:16] 1/10 the GDP of the netherlands [2013-09-22 00:39:17] (Wow, wait, hold it! Keep it clean in here!) [2013-09-22 00:39:30] <@Bryce-GM> He curses in frustration as he fails to activate it. [2013-09-22 00:39:35] (That's what i said!) [2013-09-22 00:39:38] <@Bryce-GM> Epona's turn. [2013-09-22 00:39:46] (He strokes frantically, grumbling that 'this is the first time this has happened) [2013-09-22 00:39:49] shoot for him [2013-09-22 00:40:05] <@Bryce-GM> A hit. [2013-09-22 00:40:17] <@Bryce-GM> He resists the damage. [2013-09-22 00:40:18] (it is a cellphone.) [2013-09-22 00:40:32] <@Bryce-GM> DD1: Stunned [2013-09-22 00:40:35] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie. [2013-09-22 00:41:04] Buck Diamond Dog 1 as well. For gibs and gory! [2013-09-22 00:41:38] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie hits, but only because it's stunned. [2013-09-22 00:42:06] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie inflicts a critical hit. [2013-09-22 00:42:22] <@Bryce-GM> DD1 is further stunned (5 turns.)

[2013-09-22 00:44:12] (Going on a pony quest!!!0 [2013-09-22 00:44:38] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie bursts into flames and takes a medium wound from the burning. [2013-09-22 00:44:52] <@Bryce-GM> Epona catches fire and takes a minor wound from the burning. [2013-09-22 00:45:03] <@Bryce-GM> The corpse of the royal guard catches fire. [2013-09-22 00:45:22] <@Bryce-GM> The pieces of diamond dog 3 burn to ashes. [2013-09-22 00:45:32] <@Bryce-GM> Diamond dog 1 catches fire and dies. [2013-09-22 00:45:44] (Friendly fire...ain't.) [2013-09-22 00:45:58] <@Bryce-GM> Epona resists stunning. [2013-09-22 00:46:05] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie resists stunning. [2013-09-22 00:46:16] <@Bryce-GM> Epona's turn. You are on fire. [2013-09-22 00:47:36] what. wow. [2013-09-22 00:47:44] okay… i stop drop and roll [2013-09-22 00:47:56] <@Bryce-GM> Epona extinguishes herself. [2013-09-22 00:48:05] <@Bryce-GM> She does not take further damage. [2013-09-22 00:48:29] (Epona is only medium-rare.) [2013-09-22 00:48:33] try to put out rosie. [2013-09-22 00:48:37] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie's turn. Rosie, you are on fire and fairly badly wounded. [2013-09-22 00:49:01] <@Bryce-GM> (Epona's turn was used. Extinguishing the fire was your attack action, getting to the ground was your move action.) [2013-09-22 00:49:08] (Is the dog in charging distance?) [2013-09-22 00:49:11] (oh, okay) [2013-09-22 00:49:26] <@Bryce-GM> DD2? Yes. [2013-09-22 00:49:59] Rosie charges the dog to stomp, and try spread fire to him to. [2013-09-22 00:50:13] <@Bryce-GM> The charge fans the flames. [2013-09-22 00:50:22] O_O [2013-09-22 00:50:23] <@Bryce-GM> The stomp hits. [2013-09-22 00:50:43] <@Bryce-GM> The diamond dog takes a major wound. [2013-09-22 00:50:51] <@Bryce-GM> He is stunned 4 rounds. [2013-09-22 00:51:04] <@Bryce-GM> He is also now on fire. [2013-09-22 00:51:23] (She's a Nightmare charging straight out of hell and into your face!) [2013-09-22 00:51:25] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie burns some more and is now heavily wounded.

[2013-09-22 00:52:02] <@Bryce-GM> Burns some more: minor wound. Stunned 4 more turns. [2013-09-22 00:52:11] <@Bryce-GM> Epona's turn. [2013-09-22 00:52:30] (what is the status of both foes?) [2013-09-22 00:52:52] <@Bryce-GM> Both foes are stunned. [2013-09-22 00:52:55] <@Bryce-GM> DD2 is on fire. [2013-09-22 00:53:02] (Dog is stunned and burning to death. Rosie is burning and almost dead.) [2013-09-22 00:53:43] (put out rosie.) [2013-09-22 00:54:15] (Put out the fires or make Rosie put out and fan the flames of passion?) [2013-09-22 00:54:15] <@Bryce-GM> Epona flies toward Rosie; I'll assume she hurries. [2013-09-22 00:54:19] <@Bryce-GM> She makes the movement check [2013-09-22 00:54:34] <@Bryce-GM> Epona extinguishes Rosie. [2013-09-22 00:54:44] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie's turn: Not on fire anymore. [2013-09-22 00:55:03] Watch Diamond Dog 2 burn to death. [2013-09-22 00:55:10] <@Bryce-GM> Ok. [2013-09-22 00:55:12] <@Bryce-GM> New Round. [2013-09-22 00:55:18] Rosie: The fire of the revolution burns within you! [2013-09-22 00:55:19] <@Bryce-GM> DD2: burns to death. [2013-09-22 00:55:26] <@Bryce-GM> Combat is over. [2013-09-22 00:55:41] <@Bryce-GM> PC ponies: [2013-09-22 00:55:57] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie: Heavily wounded (mortal without advanced medical care) [2013-09-22 00:56:24] <@Bryce-GM> Epona: Moderate burns. (survival probable with only first aid, -1 to physical stat rolls for a few days.) [2013-09-22 00:56:39] [perform first aid or … oh well] [2013-09-22 00:56:56] <@Bryce-GM> Thoughts? [2013-09-22 00:57:15] Went pretty easy, still. [2013-09-22 00:57:34] Maybe next encounter needs some more "Oh crap!". [2013-09-22 00:57:45] <@Bryce-GM> The wand of the inferno wasn't enough? :D [2013-09-22 00:58:01] With 4:2 odds, I say it was easy. [2013-09-22 00:58:17] (Fun) [2013-09-22 00:58:17] <@Bryce-GM> Yeah, Rosie'd die though, as we don't have Falafel in the party anymore [2013-09-22 00:58:29] <@Bryce-GM> it was kind a phyrric victory at best [2013-09-22 00:58:47] <@Bryce-GM> of course, it would have not been so hazardous with the full party [2013-09-22 00:58:50] Epona could probably stabilize her and drag her to the nearest hospital. [2013-09-22 00:59:14] <@Bryce-GM> hmm. yes, probably, if this was a cave in equestria near a hospital. [2013-09-22 00:59:32] *** Bryce-GM changed nick to Bryce [2013-09-22 00:59:35] <@Bryce> anyway [2013-09-22 00:59:57] You wanted to try more simulations or just this one? [2013-09-22 01:00:03] (sure) [2013-09-22 01:00:28] <@Bryce> Okay, I can do one more. Can you give me 15 minutes though? [2013-09-22 01:00:41] Sure, I was going to ask for a break anyway. [2013-09-22 01:02:26] kuhl. [2013-09-22 01:02:40] <@Bryce> ok, we'll start up at 19:15 eastern [2013-09-22 01:11:56] <@Bryce> okay, I'm ready whenever you guys are. [2013-09-22 01:14:14] ok. [2013-09-22 01:14:17] brb, need coke [2013-09-22 01:15:07] okiedoke [2013-09-22 01:15:14] I'm ready. [2013-09-22 01:15:31] <@Bryce> Okay. [2013-09-22 01:15:43] So did you get us something that could potentially kill us? [2013-09-22 01:15:49] <@Bryce> Yes [2013-09-22 01:16:03] <@Bryce> This one will be a bit more involved. [2013-09-22 01:16:12] *** Bryce changed nick to Bryce-GM [2013-09-22 01:16:21] *** CD changed nick to Rosie [2013-09-22 01:16:24] <@Bryce-GM> And have some new ways to die, besides being crushed or incinerated. [2013-09-22 01:16:41] i like the auto-align in map. [2013-09-22 01:17:09] <@Bryce-GM> Epona and Rosie heard a rumor at the tavern that there the tomb of the feared Fungus Gnome Wizard Moochick, nearby the town, was full of gold and beer. [2013-09-22 01:17:29] <@Bryce-GM> They set off in search of adventure and soon found their way to the entrance of the tomb. [2013-09-22 01:17:43] moochick. [2013-09-22 01:18:03] You mean the fellow with a piece of rainbow in his pocket? [2013-09-22 01:18:15] I got your rainbow in my pocket right here. [2013-09-22 01:18:21] <@Bryce-GM> A rough stone aperature, large enough to admit a pony, is set in the side of the hill. [2013-09-22 01:18:31] <@Bryce-GM> (That's the one, yes. His repuatation has changed over time. Maybe.) [2013-09-22 01:18:38] send in the tank-tread remote-control rover! [2013-09-22 01:18:40] <@Bryce-GM> It's overgrown with weeds but clearly visible. [2013-09-22 01:18:57] (So now he's the fungal version of the Rabbit of Caerbannog?) [2013-09-22 01:19:02] <@Bryce-GM> The evening sun illuminates a passage ahead of you, descending into the earth... [2013-09-22 01:19:26] <@Bryce-GM> The wind is still and the dale around you is eerily quiet. [2013-09-22 01:19:39] [/nvgs on] [2013-09-22 01:20:16] <@Bryce-GM> hmm [2013-09-22 01:20:23] <@Bryce-GM> what is Rosie going to do for light? [2013-09-22 01:20:42] I assume she brought a lantern or something? [2013-09-22 01:20:50] <@Bryce-GM> Or she can try to make a horn-light. [2013-09-22 01:21:04] <@Bryce-GM> I assume Rosie has at least a fair chance of that. But a lantern might be more reliable. [2013-09-22 01:21:06] <@Bryce-GM> Your call. [2013-09-22 01:21:11] With -2 magic, she'd want something reliable. [2013-09-22 01:21:51] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. Rosie lights her lantern. [2013-09-22 01:22:20] <@Bryce-GM> You can see that the corridor turns 90 degrees ahead of you. [2013-09-22 01:22:28] <@Bryce-GM> The walls are rough stone. [2013-09-22 01:22:56] <@Bryce-GM> What do? (no turns yet, just say.) [2013-09-22 01:23:18] Rosie: You first Epona. You'll see better and absord any projectiles. [2013-09-22 01:23:27] <@Bryce-GM> Honesty! [2013-09-22 01:23:38] [takes the point] [2013-09-22 01:23:42] <@Bryce-GM> (Kindness, not so much.) [2013-09-22 01:23:49] <@Bryce-GM> So you head down the corridor? [2013-09-22 01:23:55] if somebody grabs you, make sure to scream a lot. that way i'll know i'm on my own. [2013-09-22 01:24:04] (what is epona wearing?) [2013-09-22 01:24:11] (I guess that letting her have all the fire counts as generosity?) [2013-09-22 01:24:39] <@Bryce-GM> Epona is wearing her air armor as before. [2013-09-22 01:24:42] <@Bryce-GM> Barding and a helmet. [2013-09-22 01:24:48] <@Bryce-GM> She has her crossbow and wingblades. [2013-09-22 01:24:54] Give me your armor. If I'm going to expose my chest from ahead I want armor. [2013-09-22 01:25:04] (And rainbow socks to seduce the monsters.) [2013-09-22 01:25:10] (god yes) [2013-09-22 01:25:13] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie's armor will not permit Epona to fly. [2013-09-22 01:25:19] <@Bryce-GM> That's probably not the best idea. [2013-09-22 01:26:00] (Yeah, I think pegasus armour comes at the price of protection) [2013-09-22 01:26:44] (can i go back to town and get my frontal armor?) [2013-09-22 01:27:18] <@Bryce-GM> Oh, I must have given the impression that it didn't cover Epona's ribcage by describing it as 'barding'? [2013-09-22 01:27:43] <@Bryce-GM> Epona's armor protects her front at +2/+1, same as the rest of her. [2013-09-22 01:28:34] (oh. air armor was designed to protect from ground fire or from injury in a tail chase; for protecting the ribcage in the x-y plane, ground armor is used) [2013-09-22 01:29:03] <@Bryce-GM> (I see… I meant the term as 'armor for airborne ponies') [2013-09-22 01:29:12] <@Bryce-GM> (who might be shot at by other airborne ponies.) [2013-09-22 01:29:19] (oh ok.) [2013-09-22 01:29:25] <@Bryce-GM> (and since ponies are a lot more maneuverable and somewhat slower than planes,) [2013-09-22 01:29:47] <@Bryce-GM> (they might be shot at from pretty much any direction, although of course it would be harder to shoot one going perpendicularlly...) [2013-09-22 01:29:50] <@Bryce-GM> anyway. [2013-09-22 01:29:57] <@Bryce-GM> So do you go down with Rosie? [2013-09-22 01:30:01] Sure. [2013-09-22 01:30:11] <@Bryce-GM> Okay, you two proceed down the corridor. [2013-09-22 01:30:53] <@Bryce-GM> It's cold in the tomb. Quiet as the grave, in fact. [2013-09-22 01:31:01] <@Bryce-GM> The corridor goes off to your left and to your right. [2013-09-22 01:31:23] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie hears faint shuffling sounds coming from the left [2013-09-22 01:31:31] ("Okay, let's split up gang!") [2013-09-22 01:31:49] (check both0 [2013-09-22 01:31:50] ) [2013-09-22 01:32:05] [Points to the left, then her ear] [2013-09-22 01:32:42] (nods) [2013-09-22 01:32:50] you stay behind me and make sure nobody sneaks up on us. [2013-09-22 01:32:53] (go left) [2013-09-22 01:32:59] <@Bryce-GM> To the left (east), you see a corridor with stairs at the end. [2013-09-22 01:33:10] [Stands guard at the intersection] [2013-09-22 01:33:13] <@Bryce-GM> The stairs are very crude, little more than a stack of rocks, and lead to a crack in the wall. [2013-09-22 01:33:58] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. [2013-09-22 01:34:05] <@Bryce-GM> So, Epona heads down the corridor. [2013-09-22 01:34:27] <@Bryce-GM> There's stairs, as before. [2013-09-22 01:34:50] <@Bryce-GM> Epona notices a piece of blue wool on a snag in the rock. [2013-09-22 01:35:12] <@Bryce-GM> She can hear shuffling sounds from beyond the crack, but can't see in it. She could squeeze in if she wanted. [2013-09-22 01:36:31] [inspect] [2013-09-22 01:36:56] <@Bryce-GM> The crack is about 75cm tall and 50cm wide, but irregular. [2013-09-22 01:37:13] <@Bryce-GM> A breeze wafts out of it. It smells slightly faecal. [2013-09-22 01:38:06] blugh. [2013-09-22 01:38:19] (Uhm, okay. Go right ahead Epona, Rosie will wait.) [2013-09-22 01:38:21] <@Bryce-GM> It goes quite a ways, trending upward. [2013-09-22 01:38:24] (look through and begin to crawl, just to take a peek. gun ready [2013-09-22 01:38:38] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. Epona goes up the crack a ways. [2013-09-22 01:39:11] <@Bryce-GM> You see with your NVG, from your new vantage point, a chamber off to the side. [2013-09-22 01:39:20] <@Bryce-GM> In it are dozens of bushwoolies. [2013-09-22 01:39:30] <@Bryce-GM> Most of them seem to be asleep. A couple are shuffling around. [2013-09-22 01:39:36] <@Bryce-GM> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEV1LYmz-cg [2013-09-22 01:39:41] <@Bryce-GM> This is a bushwoolie. [2013-09-22 01:40:11] (Little asshole) [2013-09-22 01:40:23] i think i have a bushwoolie living in my brain. [2013-09-22 01:40:30] ) [2013-09-22 01:41:00] <@Bryce-GM> So anyway, Epona knows these things are dumb as paste but usually harmless. Usually. [2013-09-22 01:41:43] (Dumb is a kind of dangerous all of its own.) [2013-09-22 01:42:09] (crawl through, trying to be sneaky) [2013-09-22 01:42:38] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. Epona crawls into the chamber with the bushwoolies. [2013-09-22 01:42:52] <@Bryce-GM> She remains concealed. [2013-09-22 01:43:06] <@Bryce-GM> Epona sits in the dark, unsuspecting or sleeping Bushwoolies around her. [2013-09-22 01:43:30] <@Bryce-GM> A glamourous day in the life of an adventerer. She could be a veritable Jane Goodall to these 'noble' creatures. [2013-09-22 01:43:53] (hah! ok, wave rosie through) [2013-09-22 01:43:56] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie hears a flatulent sound from the West. [2013-09-22 01:44:01] (wait.) [2013-09-22 01:44:06] <@Bryce-GM> Epona didn't hear it. [2013-09-22 01:44:07] (is there an exit from this room besides thecrack?) [2013-09-22 01:44:12] <@Bryce-GM> No. [2013-09-22 01:44:22] <@Bryce-GM> There are some nooks in the walls, [2013-09-22 01:44:33] <@Bryce-GM> some of which are large enough to fit Epona, but Bushwoolies are sleeping in them and [2013-09-22 01:44:38] <@Bryce-GM> they don't seem to go far. [2013-09-22 01:45:54] (OK, go back) [2013-09-22 01:46:25] <@Bryce-GM> Epona leaves the Bushwoolie cave. [2013-09-22 01:46:50] <@Bryce-GM> She rejoins Rosie. [2013-09-22 01:47:24] dead end. [2013-09-22 01:47:49] Rosie: I heard a sound from there. [points] [2013-09-22 01:48:29] (nods and takes the point) [2013-09-22 01:48:38] <@Bryce-GM> Okay, you head that way. [2013-09-22 01:49:13] <@Bryce-GM> A door bars your way. It's imposing and made of wood. [2013-09-22 01:49:24] <@Bryce-GM> It has an inscription of a mushroom and text below it. [2013-09-22 01:49:30] (Which of us has better chance at lockpicking?) [2013-09-22 01:49:31] <@Bryce-GM> It says, [2013-09-22 01:49:32] (why is the bushwoolie cave not a dead end in the map? does that imply there's more to explore?) [2013-09-22 01:49:46] (or just 'i've not done the walls at this point'?) [2013-09-22 01:49:56] <@Bryce-GM> "The Moochick. Beloved Guardian of Ponyland. Rest in Peace." [2013-09-22 01:50:18] <@Bryce-GM> You both have the same burglary skill: -1 [2013-09-22 01:50:43] <@Bryce-GM> It's too bad valkyrie isn't here, she has +4 lockpicking.

[2013-09-22 01:51:00] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie can't find a lock in the gloom [2013-09-22 01:51:35] <@Bryce-GM> No one responds to the knock. [2013-09-22 01:51:43] <@Bryce-GM> Meanwhile, back in town, [2013-09-22 01:51:50] (brb) [2013-09-22 01:51:57] *** Eppina quit ( ) [2013-09-22 01:52:09] <@Bryce-GM> Valkyrie hears from the barkeeper that Epona and Rosie went for the Moochick's tomb and heads there.

[2013-09-22 01:56:30] ok [2013-09-22 01:56:44] <@Bryce-GM> So anyway, Rosie couldn't find a lock, at least not yet, and no one responded to the first knocking attempt. [2013-09-22 01:58:08] Rosie: Epona, do you see a lock somewhere, or something I can stick my hoof into? [2013-09-22 01:58:25] (do i?) [2013-09-22 01:58:37] <@Bryce-GM> Epona looks. [2013-09-22 01:59:02] <@Bryce-GM> Epona finds a keyhole concealed to the right of the door. It's about 1cm high and surrounded by a brass ring. [2013-09-22 01:59:50] hey, there's a keyhole up here. [2013-09-22 02:00:09] [Rosie tries sticking her horn in and lockpicking it.] [2013-09-22 02:00:28] <@Bryce-GM> You stick your horn in the hole and are rewarded with a mild electric shock.

[2013-09-22 02:01:43] <@Bryce-GM> She comes from the corridor you just cam down. Valkyrie, you see Rosie, with a lantern, and Epona standing by a large wooden door [2013-09-22 02:01:49] <@Bryce-GM> in this underground tomb. [2013-09-22 02:01:55] I'm so confused [2013-09-22 02:01:58] what's going on? [2013-09-22 02:02:02] <@Bryce-GM> (sorry, we're just testing out the Fudge Ponies rules.)

[2013-09-22 02:05:13] Rosie: And did somepony let loose a SBD? [2013-09-22 02:05:16] <@Bryce-GM> Epona is silent, and, being a vegetarian creature, largely odorless. [2013-09-22 02:05:29] <@Bryce-GM> Rolling perception: Rosie smells nothing. [2013-09-22 02:05:43] <@Bryce-GM> Anyway. [2013-09-22 02:05:57] <@Bryce-GM> The door has an inscription, which Valkyrie can also read: [2013-09-22 02:06:07] <@Bryce-GM> "The Moochick. Beloved Guardian of Ponyland. Rest in Peace." [2013-09-22 02:07:01] Rosie: Do you think you can lend a hand with this door?

[2013-09-22 02:19:10] <@Bryce-GM> It smells like it too. [2013-09-22 02:19:14] <@Bryce-GM> It's kinda nasty. [2013-09-22 02:19:15] (poke the tip of an arrow into it) [2013-09-22 02:19:27] <@Bryce-GM> The bolt is corroded fairly quickly. [2013-09-22 02:19:45] <@Bryce-GM> You can see to the other side of the puddle: there's a pair of doors, one of which is already open. [2013-09-22 02:20:10] hold up guys. [2013-09-22 02:20:11] Whoa....shit, guys...the hell is this thing? [2013-09-22 02:20:14] <@Bryce-GM> Note that the corridor here is high enough for you to fly over the piddle.

[2013-09-22 02:22:05] <@Bryce-GM> Unless Epona deliberately concealed it, you all saw it. [2013-09-22 02:22:20] Rosie: Better not step on it. I have a feeling it's worse than unhygienic.

[2013-09-22 02:26:05] (yes i inspect) [2013-09-22 02:26:16] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. You look at the door. You can see a room beyond. [2013-09-22 02:26:23] <@Bryce-GM> The room is filled with magical darkness. [2013-09-22 02:26:30] <@Bryce-GM> Your NVGs tell you this.

[2013-09-22 02:26:53] <@Bryce-GM> Including your magical NVG.

[2013-09-22 02:27:48] There's better not be any fuckign skeletons or diadems in here. [2013-09-22 02:28:03] Ooh, magical darkness. neat! [2013-09-22 02:28:06] <@Bryce-GM> Funny you should mention that. Epona, [2013-09-22 02:28:17] <@Bryce-GM> you also see a pair of skeletons outside of the magical darkness. [2013-09-22 02:28:18] (i thought auras implied that objects glowed with their own emissions.) [2013-09-22 02:28:37] <@Bryce-GM> They look like earth pony skeletons. [2013-09-22 02:28:55] <@Bryce-GM> one is wearing leather armor, the other, plate mail. They look quite ancient. [2013-09-22 02:29:01] AACK! [2013-09-22 02:29:04] No way.

[2013-09-22 02:30:36] <@Bryce-GM> Hopefully the black bile-like substance is not all that's left of the beer. [2013-09-22 02:30:49] Rosie: So, will you fly us across this ooze? I don't think it's safe to jump. [2013-09-22 02:31:11] Shit, guys...I remember ...there could be BEER and GOLD in here! [2013-09-22 02:31:14] BEER!

[2013-09-22 02:44:39] [huddles with other team members] [2013-09-22 02:44:42] better to - FUCK. [2013-09-22 02:44:49] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon sees the ponies. [2013-09-22 02:44:54] [wave] [2013-09-22 02:44:55] Um....we already did that this morning, Freds. [2013-09-22 02:44:57] hi, we're lost. [2013-09-22 02:45:00] <@Bryce-GM> Rolling for initative. -- [2013-09-22 02:45:44] <@Bryce-GM> Okay, Epona's turn. [2013-09-22 02:46:12] [shoot for dragon's brainular area] [2013-09-22 02:46:31] ("Shoot is in the neck" I said. But no, "it's a cutesy-wutesy-widdle dragon") [2013-09-22 02:46:40] <@Bryce-GM> Epona's crossbow bolt hits the dragon. [2013-09-22 02:46:46] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon is unharmed. [2013-09-22 02:46:51] <@Bryce-GM> Dragon's turn. [2013-09-22 02:47:18] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon is breathes bile. [2013-09-22 02:47:25] (Well, shit. We're in a nice little cluster for a nuke.) [2013-09-22 02:47:34] *** Valkyrie changed nick to Wiggles [2013-09-22 02:47:41] EEEEEP! [2013-09-22 02:47:46] [dodges the bile] [2013-09-22 02:47:47] <@Bryce-GM> Checking reflexes - [2013-09-22 02:48:12] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie dodges the bile. Everypone else gets coated in bile. [2013-09-22 02:48:14] <@Bryce-GM> Rolling damage. [2013-09-22 02:48:53] <@Bryce-GM> Valkyrie rolls a critical success on her resist damage, roll, haha. That shampoo she used this morning completely neutralizes the bile, somehow. [2013-09-22 02:49:09] <@Bryce-GM> Epona takes a minor wound from the corrosive bile. [2013-09-22 02:49:17] Yow! [2013-09-22 02:49:30] <@Bryce-GM> Wiggles turn. [2013-09-22 02:49:36] (Valkyrie is equipped with soup-can hooves.) [2013-09-22 02:49:51] EEEEEEEEEEEW! OMG OMG GET IT OFF! [2013-09-22 02:49:59] [soup can hoof flail] [2013-09-22 02:50:17] <@Bryce-GM> Wiggles is free of the bile. [2013-09-22 02:50:32] <@Bryce-GM> It stinks to high heaven, but it isn't on her anymore. [2013-09-22 02:50:33] (see map) [2013-09-22 02:50:44] <@Bryce-GM> haha [2013-09-22 02:50:47] ugh, smells like poo in here. [2013-09-22 02:50:50] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie's turn. [2013-09-22 02:50:53] plus my fur is totally de-conditionered. [2013-09-22 02:50:55] *** Wiggles changed nick to Valkyrie [2013-09-22 02:51:02] Well, STOP SHITTING, Freds! [2013-09-22 02:51:13] It's not me! [2013-09-22 02:51:41] [Rosie runs towards the dragon, hugging the south wall to be out of the attack's cone] [2013-09-22 02:51:55] <@Bryce-GM> ok [2013-09-22 02:52:00] <@Bryce-GM> New round of combat [2013-09-22 02:52:03] <@Bryce-GM> Epona's turn [2013-09-22 02:52:15] (fly out of the dragon's firing arc) [2013-09-22 02:52:22] (is the bile no longer eating at me?) [2013-09-22 02:52:33] <@Bryce-GM> The bile is no longer hurting you. [2013-09-22 02:52:39] (cool) [2013-09-22 02:52:43] <@Bryce-GM> It's just a young bile dragon - it's bile isn't very potent. Yet. [2013-09-22 02:52:50] <@Bryce-GM> *its [2013-09-22 02:53:14] <@Bryce-GM> Anyway, so Epona flies some. Does she also shoot? [2013-09-22 02:53:40] (Yes. what's the dragon's vunlerabilities?) [2013-09-22 02:53:51] <@Bryce-GM> Piercing damage. [2013-09-22 02:53:58] (i mean where on it) [2013-09-22 02:54:02] <@Bryce-GM> The underbelly. [2013-09-22 02:54:06] (So bolts in general) [2013-09-22 02:54:17] (shoot it) [2013-09-22 02:54:31] <@Bryce-GM> You can't shoot it in the underbelly from in the air above it [2013-09-22 02:54:35] <@Bryce-GM> or do you mean just shoot it? [2013-09-22 02:55:00] (just shoot it.) [2013-09-22 02:55:09] <@Bryce-GM> ok! Epona shoots again... [2013-09-22 02:55:17] <@Bryce-GM> A hit. [2013-09-22 02:55:29] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon takes a scratch. [2013-09-22 02:55:53] <@Bryce-GM> Dragon's turn. Dragon charges toward the doors. [2013-09-22 02:56:06] (Just a hint Lauren: go straight at it so the cone of its bile won't shift to catch two of us) [2013-09-22 02:56:18] <@Bryce-GM> Wiggles turn. [2013-09-22 02:56:20] (THE POWER OF SOUP CAN HOOVES COMPELS YOU!) [2013-09-22 02:56:30] <@Bryce-GM> You see the dragon running almost straight at you, fangs dripping with bile. [2013-09-22 02:56:33] (wait, what?) [2013-09-22 02:56:37] (I'm supposed to attack it?) [2013-09-22 02:56:45] <@Bryce-GM> Or get out of its way. [2013-09-22 02:56:56] <@Bryce-GM> But you can attack it if you really want. [2013-09-22 02:57:03] [elects to move out of the way of the offending creature] [2013-09-22 02:57:21] <@Bryce-GM> Valkyrie easily jumps out of the dragon's way. [2013-09-22 02:57:24] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie's turn. [2013-09-22 02:57:48] [Attack the dragon from behind with a buck] [2013-09-22 02:58:03] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie bucks... [2013-09-22 02:58:13] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie's buck hits the dragon. [2013-09-22 02:58:31] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon gets a cruddy damage roll, and takes a medium wound. [2013-09-22 02:58:34] (If somepony could move in front of it next, we can Conga Line of Death this bitch) [2013-09-22 02:58:52] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon howls in pain as Rosie's spiked horseshoes connect with its flank. [2013-09-22 02:58:58] <@Bryce-GM> New round of combat. [2013-09-22 02:59:02] <@Bryce-GM> Epona's turn. [2013-09-22 02:59:06] Rosie: Gelded! [2013-09-22 02:59:10] [where is the dragon headed?] [2013-09-22 02:59:19] <@Bryce-GM> Towards the doors. It's charging. [2013-09-22 02:59:21] now, now, no sense gelding the lily. [2013-09-22 02:59:30] [we aren't at the doors though] [2013-09-22 02:59:41] <@Bryce-GM> Not anymore. You all moved. [2013-09-22 02:59:46] [ok, shoot it] [2013-09-22 02:59:53] (No, but I don't think we should let it get out) [2013-09-22 02:59:58] <@Bryce-GM> A hit. [2013-09-22 03:00:24] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon takes a scratch; the scratch stacks with the previous one to a minior wound. [2013-09-22 03:00:38] <@Bryce-GM> *minor [2013-09-22 03:00:40] [switch to the Atal Rifle] [2013-09-22 03:00:48] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon is looking a little weak. [2013-09-22 03:00:55] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon's turn. [2013-09-22 03:00:58] [why dear you look a mite pekid] [2013-09-22 03:01:15] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon charges through the doors, bursting open the closed one [2013-09-22 03:01:21] <@Bryce-GM> and throwing it from its hinges. [2013-09-22 03:01:26] <@Bryce-GM> It tries to stop... [2013-09-22 03:01:34] <@Bryce-GM> it slips in the puddle of bile [2013-09-22 03:01:43] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon crashes into the far wall [2013-09-22 03:01:55] [HOIST BY THINE OWN PETARD!] [2013-09-22 03:02:18] <@Bryce-GM> It pulls off an amazing move at the last second, though, and avoids taking any damage. [2013-09-22 03:02:28] <@Bryce-GM> Wiggles turn. [2013-09-22 03:02:32] <@Bryce-GM> (Or valkyrie's rather) [2013-09-22 03:02:57] [tokyo bile dragon drift!] [2013-09-22 03:03:41] (I'm torn here...I know I should be doing something but V/W are not combat oriented at all) [2013-09-22 03:04:12] (Bucking it in the nuts works. That's what Rosie does and she's not combat specialized) [2013-09-22 03:04:15] <@Bryce-GM> (Well, if it helps, the dragon is fleeing. But you can always buck things if you want.) [2013-09-22 03:04:53] [have her land love-clunks on epona's head with her soup can hooves] [2013-09-22 03:06:12] <@Bryce-GM> Well...? [2013-09-22 03:06:28] <@Bryce-GM> Shall we go with that? [2013-09-22 03:06:41] (sure) [2013-09-22 03:06:45] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. [2013-09-22 03:06:50] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie's turn. [2013-09-22 03:07:11] (Can she hit the dragon without touching the bile?) [2013-09-22 03:07:30] <@Bryce-GM> No, not without a ranged weapon or magic. [2013-09-22 03:08:17] [Rosie lets it go, moving out of range from any breath attack] [2013-09-22 03:08:21] <@Bryce-GM> ok [2013-09-22 03:08:24] <@Bryce-GM> The dragon flees. [2013-09-22 03:09:02] <@Bryce-GM> Turns over; act at will. [2013-09-22 03:09:34] 9waves goodbye) [2013-09-22 03:09:36] laters dragonbroski [2013-09-22 03:09:45] (checks skelingtons for stuff) [2013-09-22 03:09:54] <@Bryce-GM> You hear distant shrieking and spocking sounds. They grow faint. [2013-09-22 03:09:59] Rosie: Well, that one's gone. Now let's find that beer. [2013-09-22 03:10:01] <@Bryce-GM> The skeletons have stuff. [2013-09-22 03:10:06] <@Bryce-GM> You find [2013-09-22 03:10:09] <@Bryce-GM> Plate mail [2013-09-22 03:10:10] mind if we take some gear, guys? [2013-09-22 03:10:13] <@Bryce-GM> Hide armor [2013-09-22 03:10:17] [try nvgs too] [2013-09-22 03:10:21] <@Bryce-GM> Spiked horseshoes [2013-09-22 03:10:30] <@Bryce-GM> Your NVGs work now; the magical darkness is gone. [2013-09-22 03:10:35] (Is the armour superior to Rosie's current armor?) [2013-09-22 03:10:36] (clever10 [2013-09-22 03:10:37] ) [2013-09-22 03:10:54] (clever i mean - magical darkness as a defensive mechanism) [2013-09-22 03:10:56] <@Bryce-GM> 24 pieces of worthless fiat currency from Ponyland. [2013-09-22 03:11:10] ooh, collectibles. [2013-09-22 03:11:16] <@Bryce-GM> A horn ring in a case in the saddlebag of the skeleton [2013-09-22 03:11:20] <@Bryce-GM> wearing the plate mail. [2013-09-22 03:11:25] (hand the ring to rosie) [2013-09-22 03:11:40] I'm not taking any shit off these skeletons [2013-09-22 03:11:43] <@Bryce-GM> The armor is more protective than Rosie's current armor, but is much heavier. [2013-09-22 03:11:47] Rosie: Why give it to me? I don't know what this is. [2013-09-22 03:11:49] (are the skeletons small enough to carry with us for proper burial?) [2013-09-22 03:12:00] <@Bryce-GM> She doesn't have the training in armor use to use it without major penalties. [2013-09-22 03:12:03] do you see anyone else with a ring or a dingus? [2013-09-22 03:12:11] <@Bryce-GM> Yes, you can take them with you if you like. [2013-09-22 03:12:19] (I'd like to.) [2013-09-22 03:12:26] [Rosie tries to identify the ring with her meagre knowledge] [2013-09-22 03:12:27] <@Bryce-GM> Right now? They're little pony skeletons [2013-09-22 03:12:37] <@Bryce-GM> they're kinda encumbering if you haul them around with you all the time. [2013-09-22 03:12:44] sorry to take your gear, guys, but we need it, and we can give you a proper burial. [2013-09-22 03:12:49] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie recognizes the ring. [2013-09-22 03:12:50] [shudder] [2013-09-22 03:12:53] (can we take them outside and bury them?) [2013-09-22 03:12:54] <@Bryce-GM> It's an engagement ring. [2013-09-22 03:12:56] Freds, I don't think we should.... [2013-09-22 03:13:13] <@Bryce-GM> It's magically enchanted - not to go down the drain if dropped in the shower. [2013-09-22 03:13:17] would you rather we left these poor beggars here? [2013-09-22 03:13:19] <@Bryce-GM> (Or sink.) [2013-09-22 03:13:23] (hah!) [2013-09-22 03:13:34] <@Bryce-GM> But that's all. Oh, and it's pretty and gold, so you could maybe sell it. [2013-09-22 03:13:39] [Pockets the ring for if she ever needs to propose to Pen Nib.] [2013-09-22 03:13:56] ROSIE!!!! don't take that shit!!! It's not yours! [2013-09-22 03:14:45] Rosie: Material possession are to be repossessed by the state to reduce waste and ensure fair distribution of inheritence. [2013-09-22 03:16:06] It's bad karma. I'm telling you. [2013-09-22 03:16:46] but if we take them with us and return them to their families for proper burial?] [2013-09-22 03:16:49] [][][] [2013-09-22 03:16:54] [sorry, that wasn't an aciton] [2013-09-22 03:16:57] Rosie: I'm not falling for any clownshoes religion and its tenets. [2013-09-22 03:17:25] Rosie: [to Epona] Well, let's explore this place before we do that, okay? [2013-09-22 03:18:59] Okay. but I'm taking their remains with me. I don't want them to be forgotten. Leave no pony behind! [2013-09-22 03:19:22] Rosie: They're not going to move on their own. We can come back for them. [2013-09-22 03:19:34] [Rosie proceeds to look for a way deeper into the tomb] [2013-09-22 03:19:41] <@Bryce-GM> It's not hard to find. [2013-09-22 03:19:48] <@Bryce-GM> There's a large corridor now visible in the corner. [2013-09-22 03:19:58] <@Bryce-GM> It slopes upward. [2013-09-22 03:20:10] <@Bryce-GM> The floor of the corridor is tile, and it is dirty. [2013-09-22 03:20:17] Rosie: This way, ponies. [2013-09-22 03:20:25] <@Bryce-GM> The wall at the north end is wooden. [2013-09-22 03:20:28] [epona distributes the gear and keeps the bones, following rosie] [2013-09-22 03:20:30] <@Bryce-GM> The rest of the corridor is stone. [2013-09-22 03:20:40] [Move up the slope] [2013-09-22 03:20:53] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. Rosie, you hear a clicking sound as you walk. [2013-09-22 03:21:18] <@Bryce-GM> You see a huge boulder rolling down the corridor toward you... [2013-09-22 03:21:25] [Run back into the big room to avoid the inevitable rolling boulder.] [2013-09-22 03:21:27] (INDIANA JONES!) [2013-09-22 03:21:29] (Called it) [2013-09-22 03:21:56] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie jumps , but isn't quite dexterous enough to avoid the boulder completely... [2013-09-22 03:22:33] [grabs balk and flies her out of danger] [2013-09-22 03:22:35] <@Bryce-GM> Fortunately, her armor helps, and she's only moderately wounded as the boulder crushes her left hindleg. [2013-09-22 03:22:41] (Hah, I knew it was you boulder! Reading Daring Do prepared me for you!) [2013-09-22 03:22:48] (LOL OMG rosie and her legs...) [2013-09-22 03:23:01] <@Bryce-GM> The blouder rolls over Rosie's leg and toward Epona [2013-09-22 03:23:08] Rosie: Argh! Not again! [2013-09-22 03:23:10] <@Bryce-GM> Epona dodges successfully. [2013-09-22 03:23:15] EEEEEEEEEP! [2013-09-22 03:23:21] <@Bryce-GM> The boulder hits the wooden wall [2013-09-22 03:23:34] [since Epona's holding V/W I'm guessing she dodged it as well) [2013-09-22 03:23:44] you and getting broken legs! You okay, Rosie? [2013-09-22 03:23:48] <@Bryce-GM> pieces of wood fly everywhere as the rolling stone falls into a chasm concealed by the wooden wall. [2013-09-22 03:23:58] <@Bryce-GM> WV was out of the way to begin with I thought [2013-09-22 03:24:02] (sings: "LIKE A ROLLING STONE!") [2013-09-22 03:24:08] <@Bryce-GM> but if Epona was holding her, yes, that's the case. [2013-09-22 03:24:30] (As it plummets, you hear it say "Pleased to meet you. Hope you guessed my name.") [2013-09-22 03:24:32] <@Bryce-GM> Epona made her reflex check by enough of a margin to do so even holding Wiggles. [2013-09-22 03:25:15] <@Bryce-GM> Anyway, so here you are. [2013-09-22 03:25:55] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie is wounded, but at the top of the corridor, on the west side, you can see a doorframe. [2013-09-22 03:26:03] <@Bryce-GM> And a hole in the ceiling where the boulder fell out of. [2013-09-22 03:26:05] [go help rosie and do first aid] [2013-09-22 03:26:21] <@Bryce-GM> Epona applies first aid. [2013-09-22 03:26:35] <@Bryce-GM> It isn't very successful but Rosie is not going to die in the next few hours, you're sure of that much. [2013-09-22 03:26:39] [epona apples first aid. not only does she fart a lot, but her turds have healing power.] [2013-09-22 03:26:40] <@Bryce-GM> She can also walk. Badly. [2013-09-22 03:26:49] shoot, we gotta get you to safety, rosie. [2013-09-22 03:27:16] (lol. she "apples" first aid) [2013-09-22 03:27:21] <@Bryce-GM> hah [2013-09-22 03:28:01] (EEEYUP.0 [2013-09-22 03:28:18] Rosie: We got to be careful up here. This coridor should lead us to our reward. [2013-09-22 03:28:44] <@Bryce-GM> (Your eternal reward, very nearly.) [2013-09-22 03:28:53] <@Bryce-GM> (Well, not for Rosie, being a godless heathen. :p ) [2013-09-22 03:29:27] (Revolutionary heaven. Goose stepping ponies and posters everywhere!) [2013-09-22 03:30:16] [Rosie starts heading up the slope, watching her step this time.] [2013-09-22 03:30:39] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie reaches the door at the top. [2013-09-22 03:30:49] <@Bryce-GM> There don't seem to be further traps. [2013-09-22 03:31:04] <@Bryce-GM> (On the ground, anyhow.) [2013-09-22 03:31:25] [check the door] [2013-09-22 03:31:36] <@Bryce-GM> The door is solid looking, and stone. [2013-09-22 03:32:09] <@Bryce-GM> The door has an inscription and a slot. [2013-09-22 03:32:18] <@Bryce-GM> The slot is sort of like a mailbox looking thing. [2013-09-22 03:32:22] Rosie: We've got another door. [2013-09-22 03:32:29] [brings balk forward] [2013-09-22 03:32:32] can you pop this door babe? [2013-09-22 03:32:38] <@Bryce-GM> Above it, the inscription reads, "What touches one and binds two?" [2013-09-22 03:32:57] Rosie: Riddle? Oh, I know this one! [2013-09-22 03:33:19] [places hoof in the slot as she answers.] [2013-09-22 03:33:36] Rosie: Love is what touches one and binds two. [2013-09-22 03:33:44] ....does the answer have to do with shoeleaces? [2013-09-22 03:33:47] <@Bryce-GM> As soon as you place your hoof in the slot, it zaps you with electricity. [2013-09-22 03:33:53] O___O; [2013-09-22 03:33:57] Yikes! [2013-09-22 03:34:04] <@Bryce-GM> Note, not when you just open the slot, but only when you put your hoof in it. [2013-09-22 03:34:06] Rosie, are you okay? [2013-09-22 03:34:16] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie shrugs off the damage. [2013-09-22 03:34:20] *** Valkyrie changed nick to Wiggles [2013-09-22 03:34:33] SHOELACES? Valkyrie, you are such an ass! [2013-09-22 03:34:53] Rosie: What's the big idea? I solved you dang riddle, door! [2013-09-22 03:35:15] <@Bryce-GM> You are met with stony silence from the rock door. [2013-09-22 03:35:41] Rosie: Am I supposed to slip you a note with the answer? [2013-09-22 03:35:44] try 'gravity.' [2013-09-22 03:36:04] [Looks for some paper in her saddlebag to wrote down the word] [2013-09-22 03:36:11] <@Bryce-GM> You have some paper. [2013-09-22 03:36:21] [clears throat] A contract, or legal agreement. That's the answer. [2013-09-22 03:36:45] [Proceeds to write down 'Love' and stuff it in the mailbox] [2013-09-22 03:37:21] i think we should listen to wiggles. [2013-09-22 03:37:25] <@Bryce-GM> You put it in the slot. It doesn't shock you this time. You hear a zapping sound and smell ozone. [2013-09-22 03:37:51] oops, that was me, sorry. [2013-09-22 03:38:06] Rosie: Wiggles, can you do that thing with the hairpin Val did? [2013-09-22 03:38:21] Pfft. Of course. [2013-09-22 03:38:27] [grabs the hairpin again] [2013-09-22 03:39:02] [jiggles it in the lock] [2013-09-22 03:39:06] <@Bryce-GM> Okay... [2013-09-22 03:39:18] <@Bryce-GM> There's no visible lock. [2013-09-22 03:39:24] (oh, oops) [2013-09-22 03:39:24] <@Bryce-GM> The only thing available is the slot. [2013-09-22 03:39:31] <@Bryce-GM> Do you want to stick the hairpin in the slot? [2013-09-22 03:39:41] <@Bryce-GM> (no problem) [2013-09-22 03:39:46] Wait a minute...Rosie...HOW am I supposed to use the hairpin with this slot?! [2013-09-22 03:39:52] <@Bryce-GM> The door is featureless except for the inscription and the slot. [2013-09-22 03:40:05] I don't think this is a lock Valk or I can pick. [2013-09-22 03:40:10] Rosie: Figure something out. Valk just did it on the last door. [2013-09-22 03:40:12] in fact, there's NO lock. [2013-09-22 03:40:23] Rosie. I CAN'T PICK A LOCK THAT ISN'T THERE. [2013-09-22 03:40:56] Rosie: Well think of something. This involves a treasure trove of beer! [2013-09-22 03:42:19] Rosie: Or maybe the answer to the riddle is friendship. Doesn't seem as powerful as love however. [2013-09-22 03:42:36] tryit! [2013-09-22 03:42:38] *** Wiggles changed nick to Valkyrie [2013-09-22 03:42:48] THAT'S IT!!! MAYBE THE ANSWER IS BEER! [2013-09-22 03:43:04] [jiggles the hairpin in the slot] GIMMIE MY BEER, YOU MOTHERFUCKERS! [2013-09-22 03:43:18] <@Bryce-GM> Valkyrie is shocked by the slot... [2013-09-22 03:43:28] ow!!!!!!!! [2013-09-22 03:43:32] YOU FUCKING FUCK! [2013-09-22 03:43:35] <@Bryce-GM> Valkyrie is not seriously injured. [2013-09-22 03:43:36] ><; [2013-09-22 03:43:40] <@Bryce-GM> That hurt like the dickens, though. [2013-09-22 03:43:48] FUCKING SHITFUCKS! [2013-09-22 03:43:55] <@Bryce-GM> Also, Valkyrie's mane is poofed out. [2013-09-22 03:44:02] (LAWL) [2013-09-22 03:44:09] Hah! You okay baby?? [2013-09-22 03:44:12] (Valk now has a Jew fro!) [2013-09-22 03:44:19] oooh, ooh, idea. [2013-09-22 03:44:25] [do i have a piece of metal?] [2013-09-22 03:44:28] Rosie: Try bucking it. Even stone can't weather a solid battering. [2013-09-22 03:44:40] <@Bryce-GM> Sure, you can have some metal. [2013-09-22 03:44:48] <@Bryce-GM> There were lots of pieces in that plate mail, after all. [2013-09-22 03:44:49] Anyone else got a GENIUS idea? u___u; [her fro is still sizzling] [2013-09-22 03:44:50] [use it to bridge the spark gap.] [2013-09-22 03:45:00] (Epona sounds like Rarity with ehr I-dee-aa!) [2013-09-22 03:45:11] (hah!!0 [2013-09-22 03:45:13] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. Epona shorts out the zapper in the trap. [2013-09-22 03:45:37] "um, um, the answer is, ah, your mother." end jeff goldblum voice. [2013-09-22 03:45:39] <@Bryce-GM> You hear a popping sound and smell something burning briefly. [2013-09-22 03:45:47] <@Bryce-GM> Nothing else happens. [2013-09-22 03:45:51] (evil laugh) [2013-09-22 03:45:57] [retrieve the piece of metal] [2013-09-22 03:46:02] <@Bryce-GM> You do so. [2013-09-22 03:46:22] Rosie: Good, you burned it out. Now let's check it over once more. [2013-09-22 03:46:32] [Feels inside the gap with her hoof again] [2013-09-22 03:46:51] <@Bryce-GM> You feel around in the slot, and are not shocked. [2013-09-22 03:47:10] <@Bryce-GM> The slot goes down a ways, narrowing at the bottom - far too narrow for you to get your leg in. [2013-09-22 03:47:21] [bend up a coat hanger] [2013-09-22 03:47:40] <@Bryce-GM> … coat hanger? okay, I guess. [2013-09-22 03:47:48] <@Bryce-GM> Epona bends a coat hanger. [2013-09-22 03:47:50] (Time for a back-alley abortion for this door!) [2013-09-22 03:47:56] [yep.] [2013-09-22 03:47:57] (COAT HANGER ABORTION!!!) [2013-09-22 03:48:17] <@Bryce-GM> Republicans were banished from Equestria along with the Smooze, I'm afraid [2013-09-22 03:48:24] (CUTIE MARK CRUSADER BACK ALLEY ABORTION DOCTORS, YAY!!!) [2013-09-22 03:48:31] <@Bryce-GM> so I don't think that will be a current reference for your ponies. [2013-09-22 03:48:36] (wouldn't it be great to unlock your car with a coat hanger, but when passersby come by, you show them a hot wheels car and say it was just an abortion?) [2013-09-22 03:48:50] <@Bryce-GM> (hah!) [2013-09-22 03:49:08] <@Bryce-GM> (that's terrible. but you should totally use a hotwheels of an ugly concept car.) [2013-09-22 03:49:28] <@Bryce-GM> Anyway [2013-09-22 03:49:38] <@Bryce-GM> So Epona doesn't have much luck with that coathanger. [2013-09-22 03:49:42] (yes) [2013-09-22 03:49:51] (This car was on crack. You can tell by the bad frame of this ugly old Chevy.) [2013-09-22 03:50:39] (Oh god, Rosie has a crutch on the map..I love it!) [2013-09-22 03:50:49] <@Bryce-GM> very nice [2013-09-22 03:51:03] (:D) [2013-09-22 03:51:17] Rosie: Let me try something. [2013-09-22 03:51:38] (We have: a makeshift fuse, a coat hanger, and a crutch. see what you can cook up.) [2013-09-22 03:51:40] [Sticks her hoof inside, tries to telekinetically reach inside and grab hold of anything] [2013-09-22 03:52:05] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie's horn spurts a little spark but nothing else happens. [2013-09-22 03:52:05] (Horn, stick horn inside) [2013-09-22 03:52:15] <@Bryce-GM> Okay, she tries again with the horn. [2013-09-22 03:52:29] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie doesn't succeed with the magic. [2013-09-22 03:52:46] [Keeps searching, constipated frown and everything] [2013-09-22 03:52:49] <@Bryce-GM> (She can't see inside and has never manipulated the interior - she's at -6) [2013-09-22 03:52:54] <@Bryce-GM> (she'd need to roll a +4) [2013-09-22 03:53:05] <@Bryce-GM> … and she does, on her third try. [2013-09-22 03:53:26] Jeez, Rosie...seriously?! [2013-09-22 03:53:30] <@Bryce-GM> After a few minutes, Rosie uses her telekinesis to pull the little catch at the bottom of the slot where the wedding ring was [2013-09-22 03:53:33] <@Bryce-GM> supposed to land. [2013-09-22 03:53:43] <@Bryce-GM> There is a click. [2013-09-22 03:54:03] o.O; [2013-09-22 03:54:14] <@Bryce-GM> The door remains closed, but feels loose. [2013-09-22 03:54:22] (Hah, I knew it was supposed to be love! Just didn't think it was that specific) [2013-09-22 03:54:33] (HORN LOVE) [2013-09-22 03:54:38] <@Bryce-GM> The answer to the riddle "What touches one and binds two" is a ring, yeah. [2013-09-22 03:55:03] <@Bryce-GM> there could be other answers, but the physical implementation of the puzzle precluded it recognizing them. [2013-09-22 03:55:04] (Does this mean Rosie figured out the riddle groping inside the slot?) [2013-09-22 03:55:11] <@Bryce-GM> … yes. [2013-09-22 03:55:23] Rosie: I've got it! [2013-09-22 03:55:25] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie gropped a puzzle to completion. [2013-09-22 03:55:32] <@Bryce-GM> *groped [2013-09-22 03:55:40] (nice.) [2013-09-22 03:55:45] [Takes out the wedding ring, puts it inside the box] [2013-09-22 03:55:55] Rosie: Marriage! The answer is marriage. [2013-09-22 03:56:27] <@Bryce-GM> Anyway, do you open the door? Or check for traps or anything interesting? [2013-09-22 03:56:42] [Looks for details] [2013-09-22 03:56:48] (check for maps) [2013-09-22 03:57:03] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie can see faint light coming from beyond the door. [2013-09-22 03:57:17] [Gently push it open] [2013-09-22 03:57:19] <@Bryce-GM> It's bluish. [2013-09-22 03:57:22] <@Bryce-GM> You push the door open. [2013-09-22 03:57:41] <@Bryce-GM> Beyond it is a huge hall - so large that the ceiling could be no more than a few meters below the surface of the hill. [2013-09-22 03:57:56] <@Bryce-GM> It has marble columns and a polished marble floor. [2013-09-22 03:58:22] <@Bryce-GM> A magical chandalier hangs from the ceiling, emiting blue-tinted light. [2013-09-22 03:58:32] <@Bryce-GM> The marble columns are carved into the shape of mushrooms. [2013-09-22 03:58:51] <@Bryce-GM> There are two magical censers, perpetually burning incense. [2013-09-22 03:58:55] Rosie: It's almost like a temple. It looks like a nice place for a wedding actually. [2013-09-22 03:59:10] <@Bryce-GM> The room smells of the earth, like the scent of a summer rain. [2013-09-22 03:59:32] <@Bryce-GM> At the far end of the room, there are two huge sarcophagi. [2013-09-22 03:59:59] [Move ahead, watching the tiles, until reaching the sarcophagi] [2013-09-22 04:00:00] <@Bryce-GM> On the wall at the far end, there is a stone carving of an ancient pony crest. [2013-09-22 04:00:12] [look for traps] [2013-09-22 04:00:13] <@Bryce-GM> (waiting for others reactions first.) [2013-09-22 04:00:49] <@Bryce-GM> (Lauren?) [2013-09-22 04:01:17] <@Bryce-GM> (no? ok…) [2013-09-22 04:01:28] (hold on sorry) [2013-09-22 04:01:31] <@Bryce-GM> Epona sees no traps. [2013-09-22 04:01:37] <@Bryce-GM> (ok, waiting for Valkyrie's reaction.) [2013-09-22 04:01:46] (skyping sorry) [2013-09-22 04:02:01] Whooooooooa...this is some trippy shit [2013-09-22 04:02:12] Freds, you got any weed? [2013-09-22 04:02:13] <@Bryce-GM> You stand in the room. The temperature is cool and the air is pleasant. [2013-09-22 04:03:14] <@Bryce-GM> As your eyes adjust, you can make out thousands of stone mushrooms sitting in the nooks between the columns, and sitting in front of the sarcophagi. [2013-09-22 04:03:29] Don't think so. maybe it's the shrooms [2013-09-22 04:03:40] [fly over and circle the room cautiously] [2013-09-22 04:03:50] <@Bryce-GM> You get a good look at the room. [2013-09-22 04:04:09] <@Bryce-GM> The sarcophagi have carvings on top, representing the creatures lying in peaceful repose within them. [2013-09-22 04:04:18] <@Bryce-GM> One of them is of a fungus gnome. [2013-09-22 04:04:55] <@Bryce-GM> http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad183/elven_kitten/Animation/My%20Little%20Pony/MLP%201984/Moochick5.jpg [2013-09-22 04:05:32] (And the other?) [2013-09-22 04:05:33] <@Bryce-GM> The other one is a unicorn pony. [2013-09-22 04:05:40] [do i recognize anyone?] [2013-09-22 04:05:57] (Eww, bestiality.) [2013-09-22 04:05:58] <@Bryce-GM> You don't recognize the pony. You guess the gnome is the Moochick. [2013-09-22 04:06:55] <@Bryce-GM> You don't recall hearing that the Moochick had married a pony. [2013-09-22 04:06:57] (Or miscegenation, maybe) [2013-09-22 04:07:09] (omg interspecies?) [2013-09-22 04:07:10] <@Bryce-GM> But… well. Maybe he was discrete about it. [2013-09-22 04:07:37] [Can Rosie approach across the floor cautiously?] [2013-09-22 04:07:46] <@Bryce-GM> (Anyway, the room seems clear, although it's not clear where the beer and gold are at the moment.) [2013-09-22 04:07:48] <@Bryce-GM> Sure. [2013-09-22 04:07:58] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie walks across the floor. There are no signs of traps. [2013-09-22 04:08:12] [gently knock on the sarcophagi] [2013-09-22 04:08:23] [Checks the coffin of the unicorn for any details.] [2013-09-22 04:08:26] <@Bryce-GM> They seem a good deal less hollow-sounding that you might have expected. [2013-09-22 04:09:02] ...don't knock on them, Freds!! O__O; [2013-09-22 04:09:11] <@Bryce-GM> The unicorn sarcophagus has an inscription "SUNBEAM. BELOVED WIFE. GUARDIAN OF PONYLAND." [2013-09-22 04:09:37] [Check the other sarcophagus for matching inscription] [2013-09-22 04:09:56] <@Bryce-GM> Inscription: MOOCHICK. DEVOTED HUSBAND. GUARDIAN OF PONYLAND. [2013-09-22 04:10:22] <@Bryce-GM> You notice that the stone mushrooms are carvings. [2013-09-22 04:10:24] o____O; [2013-09-22 04:10:34] Rosie: What the- a fungus gnome and a pony!? Together as- [2013-09-22 04:10:37] <@Bryce-GM> They're mostly ordinary stone, a few are marble or even metal castings. [2013-09-22 04:11:00] <@Bryce-GM> Each of the mushroom carvings has an inscription on it as well. [2013-09-22 04:11:32] <@Bryce-GM> From examining a number of them, you all are able to ascertain that they are votive offerings of some kind - [2013-09-22 04:11:42] Rosie: I'm not entirely sure if we should disturb these two by just ripping the cover off their sarcophagus. [2013-09-22 04:11:59] DO NOT disturb this shit. [2013-09-22 04:11:59] <@Bryce-GM> in ages past, creatures must have visited this place and left them in hopes of getting some kind of blessing. [2013-09-22 04:12:05] that's why I'm carrying skeletons with us. [2013-09-22 04:12:06] <@Bryce-GM> Do you want to look at more mushroom carvings? [2013-09-22 04:12:11] [i would.\ [2013-09-22 04:12:19] [Inspect the carvings] [2013-09-22 04:12:27] <@Bryce-GM> Epona examines some more, and realizes what's going on with them - [2013-09-22 04:12:56] <@Bryce-GM> those making the offerings had come to regard the Moochick as a sort of patron of impossible romances. [2013-09-22 04:13:25] <@Bryce-GM> Most of the mushrooms were left to ask for romantic success. [2013-09-22 04:13:43] well this is fucked up. [2013-09-22 04:13:55] <@Bryce-GM> When there got to be too many in front of the scarcophagi, they were neatly stacked between the columns on the side of the room. [2013-09-22 04:14:10] <@Bryce-GM> From the dust, it appears that no pony has made an offering in centuries, though. [2013-09-22 04:14:34] Rosie: These two lying together as husband and wife and patrons to interspecies lovers is disturbing. Still, that riddle on the door... [2013-09-22 04:14:51] rosie, rosie, give me that ring. [2013-09-22 04:15:14] Rosie: I placed it in the door to open it. [2013-09-22 04:15:30] oh. it took it? [2013-09-22 04:15:32] interesting. [2013-09-22 04:15:35] do we have another ring? [2013-09-22 04:15:37] Rosie: Wait, those dead ponies! Are they lovers to? [2013-09-22 04:15:52] i suspect so. hence my comment about this being fucked up. [2013-09-22 04:16:03] [Inspect skeletons for stallion and mare features.] [2013-09-22 04:16:27] <@Bryce-GM> One of each. The one in metal plate was a stallion. [2013-09-22 04:16:30] <@Bryce-GM> Neither is a unicorn, though. [2013-09-22 04:16:52] [Check if they were both earth ponies.] [2013-09-22 04:16:54] (maybe it's a homosexual couple?) [2013-09-22 04:17:07] <@Bryce-GM> They're both earth ponies, judging from the lack of wings. [2013-09-22 04:17:38] (So no sea pony romance? Because that would be a difficult pairing) [2013-09-22 04:18:39] Rosie: Is there some clue we're overlooking? Impossible romance. Two earth ponies. Heterosexual... [2013-09-22 04:19:49] (brb one sec0 [2013-09-22 04:20:15] *** Eppina quit ( ) [2013-09-22 04:20:23] <@Bryce-GM> Okay... [2013-09-22 04:20:53] <@Bryce-GM> I don't think this will take too much longer, unless… [2013-09-22 04:20:56] <@Bryce-GM> eh. well, no spoilers :) [2013-09-22 04:21:27] [Rosie delves her memory for any ancient burial rituals, secular, that don't involve Celestia.] [2013-09-22 04:21:58] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie knows that ancient ponies often built monumental architecture like this. [2013-09-22 04:22:17] <@Bryce-GM> The votive offering theory seems reasonable to her. [2013-09-22 04:22:54] (Anything that can be done to open graves without upsetting the spirits of the dead?) [2013-09-22 04:23:46] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie doesn't know any pertinant rituals, at least, not any that she thinks are more than rustic superstition. [2013-09-22 04:24:50] <@Bryce-GM> (Nate's back online.) [2013-09-22 04:25:21] *** Eppina (~nateturne@75-173-101-226.albq.qwest.net) joined [2013-09-22 04:25:24] [Look around to see if any stone jars have remained unused] [2013-09-22 04:25:42] (Welcome back Nate) [2013-09-22 04:25:53] (I miss anything?) [2013-09-22 04:25:53] <@Bryce-GM> No, there's just the two sarcophagi. You do find a few jars, with stains inside. [2013-09-22 04:26:11] (Stains?) [2013-09-22 04:26:14] <@Bryce-GM> They seem to be votive offerings as well. Apparently, more than a few ponies got their rumors confused and left the Moochick offerings of beer. [2013-09-22 04:26:41] <@Bryce-GM> Unfortunately, no one seems to have left offerings of gold. Pity. [2013-09-22 04:27:05] [Take one of the jars that seems the least offensive to reuse] [2013-09-22 04:27:21] (are there jars of beer?) [2013-09-22 04:27:23] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. [2013-09-22 04:27:28] <@Bryce-GM> There _were_ jars of beer. [2013-09-22 04:27:37] (Centuries ago) [2013-09-22 04:27:39] <@Bryce-GM> But it's long since evaporated, except for the residue/stains. [2013-09-22 04:28:15] [Looks through saddlebag for her poem to Pen Nib] [2013-09-22 04:28:36] <@Bryce-GM> You probably gave that to her a long time ago. [2013-09-22 04:28:43] <@Bryce-GM> Maybe you have a copy or something. [2013-09-22 04:28:44] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. [2013-09-22 04:28:54] [Let's pretend she has it] [2013-09-22 04:29:05] (I thought beer turned into, like, beer vinegar or something?) [2013-09-22 04:29:06] <@Bryce-GM> Sure. Like I said, maybe it's a copy or something. [2013-09-22 04:29:16] <@Bryce-GM> If you leave it out long enough, it evaporates. [2013-09-22 04:29:19] <@Bryce-GM> It's still mostly water. [2013-09-22 04:29:24] Rosie: Well, guess the rumours were incorrect. No treasures in here. [2013-09-22 04:29:27] (i guess these jars aren't sealed) [2013-09-22 04:29:29] <@Bryce-GM> Water and alcohol. [2013-09-22 04:29:30] <@Bryce-GM> Right. [2013-09-22 04:29:58] (Point. i guess i never left beer out long enough.) [2013-09-22 04:30:03] Rosie: We should disturb these two and get out. You two go ahead, I need a private moment. [2013-09-22 04:30:15] *shouldn't [2013-09-22 04:32:18] <@Bryce-GM> well? do you? [2013-09-22 04:32:20] (ping) [2013-09-22 04:32:31] (sorry trying to do five things ta once) [2013-09-22 04:33:20] what're you gonna do? [2013-09-22 04:33:37] <@Bryce-GM> Obviously loot the sarcophagi while no pony is watching, haha :D [2013-09-22 04:34:10] Rosie: Nothing, just reflect for a moment. [2013-09-22 04:34:53] WAIT a minute, Rosie [2013-09-22 04:34:58] the hell are you gonna do in here? [2013-09-22 04:35:03] We're not leaving you alone [2013-09-22 04:35:22] Rosie: I'm not doing anything. Why are you being so distrustful. [2013-09-22 04:36:57] Let's see...because I AM. [2013-09-22 04:36:59] So there. [2013-09-22 04:37:08] rosie, i don't know if you weren't paying attention, but we've been attacked by a bile dragon and you nearly got killed by a rock. [2013-09-22 04:37:42] (Could we roll deception and for the others to notice?) [2013-09-22 04:38:02] <@Bryce-GM> (Notice what?) [2013-09-22 04:38:22] (To see if Rosie is sincere) [2013-09-22 04:38:34] <@Bryce-GM> Sure. [2013-09-22 04:38:41] (As in, I fail, I'll tell them what they can expect from her) [2013-09-22 04:38:43] <@Bryce-GM> They roll Resist Manipulation, though [2013-09-22 04:38:49] <@Bryce-GM> not deception [2013-09-22 04:39:03] (Yeah, I didn't know which skill to roll against) [2013-09-22 04:39:28] <@Bryce-GM> Epona is not fooled by whatever deception that was. [2013-09-22 04:40:35] [Epona can sense that Rosie is covering something up, something mildly shameful rather than devious.] [2013-09-22 04:40:42] <@Bryce-GM> Valkyrie, while you are sitting, you notice that behind one of the votive mushrooms there is an protrusion on the Moochick's sarcophagus. [2013-09-22 04:40:52] rosie, you um. [2013-09-22 04:41:00] <@Bryce-GM> Nopony else notices what valk saw yet. [2013-09-22 04:41:01] you got something you don't want to talk about Rosie? [2013-09-22 04:41:27] [epona is diplomatic rather than suspicious] [2013-09-22 04:41:35] (what kind of protrusion? Can you be more specific?) [2013-09-22 04:41:39] Rosie: Ehm, like what? I don't know of any silly act I'd do. [2013-09-22 04:41:50] well, i mean, you told us about this place, and [2013-09-22 04:41:58] …well, if you came here to give an offering, I mean, you can say so. [2013-09-22 04:42:29] Rosie: I'm not leaving an offering! I didn't know what this place was beforehand. [2013-09-22 04:42:42] [She's lying about the first one. Latter, not so.] [2013-09-22 04:43:00] I can turn around and pretend i don't see anything. [2013-09-22 04:43:25] <@Bryce-GM> Do you want valkyrie to get a better look at the protrusion'? [2013-09-22 04:43:26] Rosie: Ehm, yeah. You turn around and just move away if you want. [2013-09-22 04:43:31] <@Bryce-GM> She can't see it very well from where she is. [2013-09-22 04:43:33] (yws.) [2013-09-22 04:43:36] (yes.) [2013-09-22 04:43:48] <@Bryce-GM> Valkyrie moves a bit close and takes a good look at it. It looks like a tap. [2013-09-22 04:44:06] <@Bryce-GM> It has a small valve handle on top. [2013-09-22 04:44:08] Huh? Hey, guys.... [2013-09-22 04:44:11] <@Bryce-GM> Sort of a spigot thing. [2013-09-22 04:44:40] [Walks over to Val to look at the object.] [2013-09-22 04:44:45] ...the hell? [2013-09-22 04:45:08] <@Bryce-GM> It sure looks like a spigot. It's made of ceramic. [2013-09-22 04:45:22] is it a beer spigot? [2013-09-22 04:45:23] _rusn over_ [2013-09-22 04:45:38] <@Bryce-GM> It _could_ be a beer spigot. [2013-09-22 04:45:49] I don't know...should we.....try turning it on? [2013-09-22 04:46:09] um, a little bit. can we put a pot under it in case it puts out like bile or summat? [2013-09-22 04:46:28] Where would we find a pot? [2013-09-22 04:46:36] [Inspect the object and try to remember anything from history.] [2013-09-22 04:47:13] (there are beer jars that are now empty.) [2013-09-22 04:47:20] [bring an empty beer jar] [2013-09-22 04:47:31] <@Bryce-GM> It's really just a ceramic spigot. [2013-09-22 04:47:39] <@Bryce-GM> It is fairly large but has no other unusual features. [2013-09-22 04:47:42] [turns the handle on the spigot cautiously] [2013-09-22 04:47:53] <@Bryce-GM> You turn it. You are rewarded with a frothy brew. [2013-09-22 04:47:59] WHOA! [2013-09-22 04:48:05] HOLY SHIT, THERE REALLY IS BEER! [2013-09-22 04:48:09] oh my god. [2013-09-22 04:48:13] fuckign fuck! [2013-09-22 04:48:16] [fill as many jars as we can] [2013-09-22 04:48:17] this is fucking awesome [2013-09-22 04:48:23] Rosie: That...is...awesome! [2013-09-22 04:48:24] rosie, this rules! [2013-09-22 04:48:26] <@Bryce-GM> You easily fill many jars of beer. [2013-09-22 04:48:28] thank you, patrons! [2013-09-22 04:48:36] *** Valkyrie changed nick to Wiggles [2013-09-22 04:48:37] [/kiss the sarcophagi] [2013-09-22 04:48:46] Oh god, she's gonna get us drunk agaiin. Damnit, Valk! [2013-09-22 04:48:52] <@Bryce-GM> You kiss the sarcophagus. It tastes slightly salty. [2013-09-22 04:48:53] *** Wiggles changed nick to Valk [2013-09-22 04:49:15] [gently lay out the skeletons in a place that is now plainly paradise] [2013-09-22 04:49:20] Shut your pie-hole, Wiggles! [2013-09-22 04:49:23] [Rosie turns the spigot and drinks from the tap.] [2013-09-22 04:49:33] <@Bryce-GM> You put the pone bones on top of the sarcophagi. [2013-09-22 04:49:44] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie drinks from the tap. It's superlative beer. [2013-09-22 04:49:49] *** Valk changed nick to Vlakyrie [2013-09-22 04:49:51] dfskljdfskljdfkjdfskj [2013-09-22 04:49:52] <@Bryce-GM> Your unicorn senses tingle. [2013-09-22 04:49:56] <@Bryce-GM> The beer is magic beer. [2013-09-22 04:50:00] *** Vlakyrie changed nick to Valkyrie [2013-09-22 04:50:09] wait - this is _magic_ beer! [2013-09-22 04:50:13] will it kill us? [2013-09-22 04:50:15] great way to die! [2013-09-22 04:50:17] [GULPGULPGULPGULP] oh man, this is fucking good! [2013-09-22 04:50:24] (I don't think Epona noticed yet) [2013-09-22 04:50:27] O_O [2013-09-22 04:50:28] <@Bryce-GM> You don't know that, Epona [2013-09-22 04:50:38] <@Bryce-GM> Nor Valkyrie - only Rosie noticed. Are all of you drinking it though? [2013-09-22 04:50:52] Rosie: Wow, quite a kick. I can feel it in my horn! [2013-09-22 04:51:07] oh this shit is quality [2013-09-22 04:52:05] <@Bryce-GM> It really is good beer. Do you want to go back to town and get barrels or anything like that? [2013-09-22 04:52:15] [Tries to cast telekinesis on Epona] [2013-09-22 04:52:42] <@Bryce-GM> Yeah, the beer is magic beer, but it's not beer that makes you more magical. Epona remains unlevitated. [2013-09-22 04:53:16] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie gets the sense that the beer's magic has to do with not spoiling. [2013-09-22 04:53:21] Rosie: Beer like this, it'd be a shame if everypony missed out on it. [2013-09-22 04:53:21] (so what's the magic of the beer then?) [2013-09-22 04:53:42] Yeah. [2013-09-22 04:53:44] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie isn't knowledgeable to have more than the general sense above. [2013-09-22 04:53:51] perhaps we are above a beer geyser? [2013-09-22 04:53:59] <@Bryce-GM> Something to do with not spoiling or expiring. [2013-09-22 04:54:23] Rosie: If I had to make a guess, the tap refils itself. [2013-09-22 04:54:38] from where? [2013-09-22 04:54:55] Rosie: It's magic, damn you! I don't have to explain it. [2013-09-22 04:55:26] "It's like some kind of secreted resin." [2013-09-22 04:55:30] [Puts her face back under the spigot to drink.] [2013-09-22 04:55:31] "Yeah, but secreted from what?" [2013-09-22 04:55:41] <@Bryce-GM> Rosie drinks more beer. [2013-09-22 04:55:57] i wonder if we'll sleep for a thousand years? [2013-09-22 04:55:59] <@Bryce-GM> It has a vagely earthy finish. [2013-09-22 04:56:00] (Does it still make her drunk?) [2013-09-22 04:56:10] (is it light or dark beer?) [2013-09-22 04:56:10] <@Bryce-GM> You ponies are getting a bit buzzed. [2013-09-22 04:56:26] <@Bryce-GM> It's a dark beer. [2013-09-22 04:56:31] (oooh) [2013-09-22 04:56:50] <@Bryce-GM> (I am laughing out loud so hard) [2013-09-22 04:56:52] (so i'm guessing it's malty and that hops are not a factor since it's enchanted to prevent spoilage instead) [2013-09-22 04:56:57] (Awesome.) [2013-09-22 04:57:03] Rosie: We ought to share this with ponies in town. But first, we party. [2013-09-22 04:57:14] (I bet this is piss. Really powerful monster piss.) [2013-09-22 04:57:27] <@Bryce-GM> (No, it's really beer, but… ) [2013-09-22 04:58:05] (it's going to knock us out.) [2013-09-22 04:58:20] (oh… oh god. we're going to fall in love) [2013-09-22 04:58:36] (So? We'll just woke up in the shrine like Bachus cultists.) [2013-09-22 04:58:43] <@Bryce-GM> So many delightful possibilities, but neither of those is correct. No, you just get drunk. [2013-09-22 04:59:00] <@Bryce-GM> Anyway, a grand time is had by all. Do you go get barrels from the town, or bring the townsponies here? [2013-09-22 04:59:02] <@Bryce-GM> Or what? [2013-09-22 04:59:50] ((yes, two will stand watch while another summons our friends to bring huge barrels of beer.) [2013-09-22 04:59:56] (Rosie votes for spending the night drinking and doing obscenely embarassing stuff with eachother to wake up with a hangover next morning.) [2013-09-22 04:59:58] (forget the heating plant, we will run a microbrewery.) [2013-09-22 05:00:18] <@Bryce-GM> Well, all these grand plans come to an end when the beer runs out after about six barrels. [2013-09-22 05:00:32] (Forbidden Fruit Pilsner. Unrequited Ale. Elope Stout.) [2013-09-22 05:00:43] <@Bryce-GM> The sarcophagus now sounds much more hollow than it did before. [2013-09-22 05:00:45] Okay, excellent. We'll sell this beera t home. [2013-09-22 05:00:59] or hell [2013-09-22 05:01:03] save it for saturday night! [2013-09-22 05:01:15] Rosie: Are you crazy? Beer like this is to be shared with all, free! [2013-09-22 05:01:30] let's have a party then! [2013-09-22 05:01:45] <@Bryce-GM> Are you guys going to check the other sarcophagus for a tap at any point? [2013-09-22 05:01:51] (well yes.) [2013-09-22 05:01:59] <@Bryce-GM> The other sarcophagus also has beer. Taste it? [2013-09-22 05:02:17] (cautiously) [2013-09-22 05:02:30] Rosie: The warm feeling of alcohol in my timmy, the savoury aftertaste, the delectable deliriousness! [2013-09-22 05:02:33] <@Bryce-GM> It is also really good beer, also magic, different flavor. [2013-09-22 05:02:47] <@Bryce-GM> It's a light beer, and it has a sort of magical zap to it. [2013-09-22 05:02:55] <@Bryce-GM> Does Rosie taste it? [2013-09-22 05:03:06] oh my god. this has got to be like a heifferweizen or something. [2013-09-22 05:03:08] [Rosie tries tasting it to, of course] [2013-09-22 05:03:14] <@Bryce-GM> The magic is the same. [2013-09-22 05:03:25] <@Bryce-GM> You barrel up this beer too? [2013-09-22 05:03:30] (guys, I'm really gettign tired. I'm sorry.) [2013-09-22 05:03:32] [Certainly] [2013-09-22 05:03:45] <@Bryce-GM> (I'm hoping you guys figure this one out real soon...) [2013-09-22 05:03:49] (It's okay, it's finishing up) [2013-09-22 05:03:54] <@Bryce-GM> Okay, this one only had about two barrels of beer worth. [2013-09-22 05:04:04] <@Bryce-GM> So that's that, then. The other sarcophagus now sounds hollow too. [2013-09-22 05:04:08] (is it like unicorn piss or something?) [2013-09-22 05:04:21] (or is the beer some liquid fro mthe dead bodies?) [2013-09-22 05:04:21] <@Bryce-GM> No… hehehe [2013-09-22 05:04:27] (try mixing a small amount of them together) [2013-09-22 05:04:38] (did the fungi turn the bodies to beer?) [2013-09-22 05:04:50] Rosie: We've got to come back tomorrow. If this beer does in fact refil, we have an endless source of ale. [2013-09-22 05:05:12] <@Bryce-GM> They don't refill tomorrow, if you check. [2013-09-22 05:05:20] <@Bryce-GM> Your loot was just a finite quantity of beer. [2013-09-22 05:05:29] <@Bryce-GM> Do you ever open the sarcophagi? [2013-09-22 05:05:34] (yes) [2013-09-22 05:05:44] <@Bryce-GM> How do you open them, and which first? [2013-09-22 05:05:58] (however) [2013-09-22 05:05:58] (And inside is, drumroll please...) [2013-09-22 05:06:17] (The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 9000) [2013-09-22 05:06:27] <@Bryce-GM> Okay. The Moochick's sarcophagus contains: the beer-saturated magically preserved corpse of a very old fungus gnome. [2013-09-22 05:06:36] AWESOME. [2013-09-22 05:07:05] Rosie: Epona! I don't think we ought to disturb our benefactors. [2013-09-22 05:07:10] Hey, can we put more beer in here, to pick, up his zing? [2013-09-22 05:07:15] <@Bryce-GM> You gather that the beer's enchantment makes it, and whatever is in it, stay preserved. [2013-09-22 05:07:26] But we're just repaying them! [2013-09-22 05:07:40] <@Bryce-GM> Fortunately, since it's magical preservation and not embalming fluid, it has not destroyed your GI tracts. [2013-09-22 05:07:41] (EWWWWW. ao the beer is magic so it preserves the corpse?) [2013-09-22 05:07:45] <@Bryce-GM> Yes. [2013-09-22 05:07:50] (EWWWWWWWWWW lol) [2013-09-22 05:08:05] <@Bryce-GM> I was wondering what was going on with _drinking from a sarcophagus_ :D [2013-09-22 05:08:24] <@Bryce-GM> So, the end, I guess. The beer is still good. Nopony else has to know its dark secret :D [2013-09-22 05:08:27] *** Bryce-GM changed nick to Bryce [2013-09-22 05:08:36] awesome. fucking awesome. [2013-09-22 05:08:47] <@Bryce> BTW, the other one had less beer because the unicorn corpse takes up more room in the sarcophagus than the Moochick's body [2013-09-22 05:08:51] <@Bryce> hence, less room for beer. [2013-09-22 05:09:11] Well, that wasn't deadly like I anticipated, but the old gnome sure had a surprise in store. [2013-09-22 05:09:15] <@Bryce> Well… that was kinda interesting [2013-09-22 05:09:25] dude [2013-09-22 05:09:27] yes! [2013-09-22 05:09:34] they should og there to drink now instead ofthe bar [2013-09-22 05:09:44] <@Bryce> hah, yes [2013-09-22 05:09:47] yes! [2013-09-22 05:10:18] I was going to have Rosie put her poem in one of the jars and leave it for good luck, but that beer was too tempting. [2013-09-22 05:10:22] <@Bryce> Although you may wish to bury Sunbeam and the Moochick somewhere else unless you're going to put back some of the beer [2013-09-22 05:10:34] <@Bryce> otherwise they'll eventually dry out and start to stink up the place. [2013-09-22 05:10:51] <@Bryce> Well, at least the Moochick will, since his sarcophagus has been breached. [2013-09-22 05:11:03] we'll bury them outside int he garden. [2013-09-22 05:11:24] He's a fungus. Decomposition should be a little different from ponies. [2013-09-22 05:11:31] oooooh [2013-09-22 05:11:54] <@Bryce> They're fungus gnomes because they live in mushroom shaped buildings [2013-09-22 05:11:58] <@Bryce> they aren't made of fungus [2013-09-22 05:12:11] So what about Sunbeam? Is she from G1? [2013-09-22 05:12:14] <@Bryce> yes [2013-09-22 05:12:19] <@Bryce> sunbeam is a unicorn from G1. [2013-09-22 05:12:26] <@Bryce> I don't know anything else about her, really [2013-09-22 05:12:33] So is this a crackship? [2013-09-22 05:12:34] <@Bryce> I just picked her from a list of G1 unicorn ponies. [2013-09-22 05:12:41] interesting. [2013-09-22 05:12:48] <@Bryce> Yeah, I don't think there's anything that implies it [2013-09-22 05:12:56] <@Bryce> I just thought it would be funny [2013-09-22 05:13:13] still that's pretty awesome [2013-09-22 05:13:17] :D [2013-09-22 05:13:18] Moochick's kinda like a brony. [2013-09-22 05:13:19] I like it. [2013-09-22 05:13:21] and I could totally see the moochick doingthat [2013-09-22 05:13:22] <@Bryce> Were the combat and non-combat dice rolls working okay? [2013-09-22 05:13:23] oh mygod yes [2013-09-22 05:13:28] Yeah! [2013-09-22 05:13:36] I thought so, yes [2013-09-22 05:13:44] the rolls were good [2013-09-22 05:13:51] Rolls worked fine. It's pretty nice and balanced so far. [2013-09-22 05:14:18] <@Bryce> That's good to hear [2013-09-22 05:14:20] Also, we totally need to log this for Owen. [2013-09-22 05:14:23] Yes. we do. [2013-09-22 05:14:24] sorry guys...i gotta lay down. feeling pretty crappy. [2013-09-22 05:14:38] Okay, bye Lauren. [2013-09-22 05:14:42] (yeah, i've been up for awhile myself) [2013-09-22 05:14:47] (have a good night lauren!) [2013-09-22 05:14:48] <@Bryce> Goodnight [2013-09-22 05:15:20] <@Bryce> I did briefly consider implying that he married Megan [2013-09-22 05:15:22] Bryce, can you put this on Google docs and send it to the group? It's worth preserving for posterity. [2013-09-22 05:15:29] megan who? [2013-09-22 05:15:35] From G1 [2013-09-22 05:15:37] <@Bryce> The human girl. [2013-09-22 05:15:39] The human. [2013-09-22 05:15:39] ohhhhhh [2013-09-22 05:15:42] <@Bryce> Her name is Megan. [2013-09-22 05:15:47] (i am wondering if alcohol was actually used in preservation before the modern day) [2013-09-22 05:15:47] night all! [2013-09-22 05:15:48] <@Bryce> Obviously, he waited until she was of age. [2013-09-22 05:15:51] *** Valkyrie (~Lauren@ool-4352a9cb.dyn.optonline.net) left () [2013-09-22 05:15:53] whew. [2013-09-22 05:16:05] <@Bryce> Yeah, it's arguably less squicky [2013-09-22 05:16:13] <@Bryce> human / gnome versus gnome/unicorn [2013-09-22 05:16:21] We wouldn't want him to be like the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo. [2013-09-22 05:16:21] yeah [2013-09-22 05:16:22] <@Bryce> but apparently in MLP, LOVE CONQUERS ALL. [2013-09-22 05:16:30] yeah, distressingly [2013-09-22 05:16:47] <@Bryce> As to uploading this, um, sure. [2013-09-22 05:16:56] <@Bryce> I need to figure out the logging though [2013-09-22 05:16:59] <@Bryce> do you have logs? [2013-09-22 05:17:15] _shrugs_ [2013-09-22 05:17:17] Maybe, but you have both the server and your IRC program to pull them from. [2013-09-22 05:17:26] <@Bryce> The server doesn't log yet. [2013-09-22 05:17:44] <@Bryce> I need to find where Colloquy puts its logs [2013-09-22 05:17:49] Crap. Well, I can't very well figure this out tonight on my end, I need to be in bed. [2013-09-22 05:17:54] Ok1 [2013-09-22 05:18:26] Anyway, fun sim. I'll see you guys next time I think. [2013-09-22 05:18:31] <@Bryce> Goodnight. }}}
