Pre-Game Prep

[20:06] < Leminex> Is everyone ready?
[20:06] < Xyzo> We are, sorry for bein' behind.
[20:06] * Gullwhacker is now known as Zowar
[20:07] < Leminex> s'right, gave me a chance to do more prep.
[20:07] < Kuropo> Ready here.
[20:07] < Stabitha> Almost ready, I'm still scarfing down leftovers.
[20:07] < Kyann> I'm good to go.
[20:08] < Zowar> Okay. Quit ND2 for now.
[20:08] < Stabitha> Apparently I didn't leave myself enough, so now I gotta go make a sammich. I'll be no more than 5 minutes.
[20:08] < MisatoIzumi> I'm ready.
[20:08] < Leminex> Alright, we start in 5 minutes (I gotta do stuff too)
[20:08] < MisatoIzumi> Kay.
[20:09] < Kyann> Right
[20:10] * Kuropo pulls out his rifle, lays in the sight, and slides a round into the chamber.
[20:11] * Zowar taps his staff against the ground. "Patience is only a virtue to those who can spare time."
[20:12] < Leminex> Hrm...a dragoon with a gun
[20:12] < Leminex> Jump and snipe :p
[20:12] * Kuropo grins at Zowar. "No problem, old man."
[20:12] < SSFSX17> * Floria is sad that she cannot make this quest. She wishes Zowar much luck and gives him a small pack containing her herbs and ropes.
[20:13] * Xyzo starts to make a quip about ropes.. but opts not to, in the end.
[20:14] * Zowar thanks Floria, and taps the Mime on the head with his staff.
[20:14] < Kuropo> "Suuuuure, just wish the Mage luck, forget about the rest of us."
[20:14] * MisatoIzumi stands quietly, checking her equipment over carefully and pointedly avoiding eye contact with the alphabetical nightmare.
[20:15] * Kyann wonders what kind of herbs Floria gives.
[20:15] < Zowar> One's luck can be the luck of all.
[20:15] * Leminex is now known as Lem[EvilGM]
[20:15] * Stabitha dashes in, frantic and out of breath.
[20:16] * Kyann sharpens his axe, getting ready to go. *shhhhhhink.... shhhhhink* comes the ominous sound.
[20:16] < Lem[EvilGM]> Heh. Good timing.
[20:16] < Lem[EvilGM]> Right before we start, anyone need to do any character prep/buying stuff?
[20:16] * Stabitha stops dead in her tracks at seeing Kyann.
[20:16] < Stabitha> ((let me check))
[20:16] < Kyann> ((I don't think so, but lemme doublecheck))
[20:16] * Zowar . o O (Well, I'd kind of like to get a new Lore. Rules for that are in flux, though...)
[20:17] < MisatoIzumi> ((I'm fine.))
[20:17] * MisatoIzumi is now known as Misato
[20:17] * Zowar .o O (It can probably wait.)
[20:17] < Kyann> ((I'm good to go. I'm saving up to get a levle 2 weapon as soon as I can :D ))
[20:18] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Righto)
[20:18] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Rodger?)
[20:18] < Kuropo> ((I'm hoping to purchase 1x Arctic Wind.))
[20:18] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Now or later?)
[20:18] * Zowar . o O (Say, Rodger, what're the rules for learning new Skills/Lores?)
[20:18] < Kuropo> (Now.)
[20:19] < Lem[EvilGM]> Right.
[20:19] * Teirlap has quit IRC (Quit: That's MR. Get The Fuck Out Of Here Teirlap to YOU, buddy..)
[20:19] < Kuropo> ((Gull: Dunno. I'm thinking that we may want to change the cost to (Skill Value)^2. So learning a skill at 20 would be 400 gil.))
[20:19] < Stabitha> ((I think I'm gonna purchase something, just need a sec to check prices))
[20:19] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Arctic Wing costs 100 gil, but I'm sure you knew that :p)
[20:20] < Kuropo> ((Sure. Leaves me at 261 gil.))
[20:20] * Zowar . o O (Right. Lem, think I could have picked up a new Lore between the last adventure and this one?)
[20:20] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Given that Zowar just kinda 'remembers' stuff and that I want to get Kitsuko's lore up...personally..."
[20:20] < Lem[EvilGM]> Ź_Ź
[20:21] * Zowar . o O (Is that a yes or a no?)
[20:21] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Yeah, I'd say so, there has been a long lap of down time In the campaign)
[20:21] < Lem[EvilGM]> (which is actually what I'm about to post will say :p)
[20:21] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Anything else?)
[20:21] * Zowar . o O (Okay. 400 Gil for Lore: Curses at 20.)
[20:21] < Kyann> ((I want to buy a six-pack and a doobie and a hooker, but that can wait))
[20:22] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Righto)
[20:22] < Misato> ((Kyann spends his reward on ale and whores.))

Part 1: The Journey

[20:22] < Lem[EvilGM]> Business has been slow recently as an unsettling lull has feel over the land. The world has geared into that uncomfortable position
[20:22] < Lem[EvilGM]> between conflict and peace; Nobody is relaxing but there is still little to profited from. Maybe its the boredom that drove you to pick
[20:22] < Lem[EvilGM]> an assignment involving more administrative effort then true adventuring. After a brisk night's sleep you awake almost looking
[20:22] < Lem[EvilGM]> forward to doing something other then being cooped up in the storm battered tower.

[20:22] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Fucking wordwrap)
[20:22] < Stabitha> ((OK, I'm looking to grab a Lullaby Edge and 2 Tonics - total 295 Gil))
[20:22] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Roger that)
[20:23] < Stabitha> ((I'll hold on selling my old Dirk for now as well))
[20:23] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Okay)
[20:23] < Xyzo> (I'm cool.)
[20:24] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Alright starting now)
[20:24] < Lem[EvilGM]> Business has been slow recently as an unsettling lull has feel over the land. The world has geared into that uncomfortable position between conflict and peace; Nobody is relaxing but there is still little to profited from. Maybe its the boredom that drove you to pick an assignment involving more administrative effort then true adventuring.

[20:24] * Zowar . o O (Cut off at something other the-)
[20:25] < Lem[EvilGM]> After a brisk night's sleep you awake almost looking forward to doing something other then being cooped up in the storm battered tower.
[20:25] < Lem[EvilGM]> It's early morning, weeks after each of you passed your acceptance trial and were formally inducted into the Adventurer's Guild, when you receive a request to report to the Administrator's office. This small room is well-known to all guildmembers, even relative newcomers like yourself, for it's here that all Guild missions are approved and assigned to adventurers. Each of you is restless, with the short supply of work and nigh con
[20:25] < Kyann> ((ARGH... Sorry - girl next door wanted to come over and use our washer))
[20:26] * Zowar . o O (Cuts off at 'work and nigh con')
[20:26] < Lem[EvilGM]> Each of you is restless, with the short supply of work and nigh constant storms that have been sweeping over the usually moderate Halmaron.
[20:26] < Lem[EvilGM]> (.2* Shakes his fist at the irc character limit)
[20:26] * thouhathfallen has joined #generica
[20:27] < Lem[EvilGM]> A small, weaselly man greets you when you arrive, sniffing fussily and waving you to pull up seats. "Good morning," he says, slowly wiping his glasses, "I bet you feel fortunate enough to get this opportunity."
[20:27] < Lem[EvilGM]> Without waiting for an answer, the clerk pulls out a small sheaf of papers and starts thumbing through them. "Its fairly straight forward. The island of Istan, due south of Sol, is in need of evacuation, fortunately the relatively rough seas are rather calm." He pauses for a second, "Apparently we've been getting all the storms that usually hit there."
[20:27] < Kyann> "Evacuation? ...Why?"
[20:27] * Kyann leans back in his chair, pondering.
[20:27] < Lem[EvilGM]> "The Magistrate is reluctant to give details, but it has been confirmed that there is an increase of monster activity in the area. I would suggest you procede with caution."
[20:27] < Kuropo> "Monsters, huh? What kind?"
[20:28] * Misato does not sit down, instead remaining standing and listening, one hand resting on the hilt of her katana.
[20:28] < Stabitha> "Who cares what kind? Monsters have treasure."
[20:28] * ComaTose has joined #generica
[20:28] < Lem[EvilGM]> "Imps and Giant Animals I believe, their frequent to Istan but don't often come out of the deep jungles."
[20:29] < Xyzo> "Why do I dislike the phrase 'relucant to give details'?"
[20:29] < Kyann> "Because that means there's a nasty surprise, I'd wager."
[20:29] < Kuropo> "And they're coming out now. Wonderful."
[20:29] * Teirlap has joined #generica
[20:29] < Lem[EvilGM]> The clerks smiles smuggly, "I'd suggest you get use to it, most clients operate on a 'need to know' bases, and you don't need to know."
[20:30] < Kuropo> "Right, then. How many people we talking about?"
[20:30] * Kyann mutters, 'Yeah, don't need to know until it bites our asses off.'
[20:30] < Lem[EvilGM]> "In total there is 24 villagers including the Magistrate."
[20:30] < Stabitha> "All I need to know is if there's treasure to be had."
[20:30] < Lem[EvilGM]> "The client has posted a reward of 200 gil for the safe removal of all 24 villagers, including the Magistrate himself. All cargo that can't be personally carried is to be left behind and thus, is fair game."
[20:31] * Stabitha grins.
[20:31] < Xyzo> "I assum we're getting a boat of some kind to do this with."
[20:31] * Misato stiffens at the mention of 'boat'.
[20:31] < Lem[EvilGM]> The clerk blinks then slaps himself producing a small note from his left breast pocket. "Captain J. Daniels of the MNF Harpoon will be your transportation to the mainland. He will be providing his boat and minimum operation crew to travel to Istan and back with the villagers. His services are not cheap, so I suggest you don't delay long on the island or his fee may be deducted from your pay."
[20:31] * Zowar looks slightly uneasy.
[20:31] * Kyann blinks. 'Boats. Damn.'
[20:32] < Kuropo> "How close to the village will the boat be able to dock?"
[20:32] < Lem[EvilGM]> "You would have to ask someone more familar with Istan's terrian, I've never been there personally."
[20:33] < Kyann> "Are there maps of the island available anywhere?"
[20:33] < Misato> "How far must we travel by... boat?" She speaks the word 'boat' with loathing.
[20:33] * Xyzo nods, looking perfectly fine. "So - get in, get the villagers onto the boat, and get out." He then adds, "And possibly pillage. Doesn't sound *that* hard."
[20:33] * Kuropo rolls his eyes. "Ah, the wonderfully detailed Adventurer's Guild briefings."
[20:33] < Lem[EvilGM]> "Istan is a good 2 days ship ride from Sol."
[20:34] * Kyann mutters darkly.
[20:34] < Kuropo> "I say we check with the captain of the ship, Kyann-ser. He should know more."
[20:34] * Misato blinks, left eye twitching spasmodically, before she smooths her expression back to stoic resolve.
[20:34] * Lem[EvilGM] raises his hands, "I'm just the messanger, I know as much as I'm told."
[20:34] * Zowar nods. "Understood."
[20:34] * Kyann nods to Kuropo. "Agreed."
[20:34] < Lem[EvilGM]> "If thats everything, you are dismissed." The clerk quickly goes back to sorting and stamping various papers.
[20:35] * Kyann stands. "Let's go see what information we can gather on the island, shall we?"
[20:35] * Stabitha bounds out of her chair and out the door.
[20:35] < Kuropo> "One last question. Has the client given any instructions as to how far we should go to retrieve villagers who've gotten into trouble?"
[20:35] < Kuropo> "If one of them dies, do we drag the body back for burial?"
[20:36] < Lem[EvilGM]> The clerk looks up, "How far? Well the reward is all or nothing, you bring back 24 living villagers or the contract is void."
[20:36] < Lem[EvilGM]> "So however far you wish to go knowing that."
[20:37] < Kyann> "I see. Well, we can handle that, no problem."
[20:37] * Kyann grins.
[20:37] < Stabitha> "So if one dies, we leave them all. Got it."
[20:37] < Kuropo> "... Like hell it is. We're supposed to bring back every one of them alive, when they might be dead before we even get there? Not a chance, find yourself another chump."
[20:38] < Kyann> "Come on, little guy. Worst comes to worst, we get who we can. The villagers need our help."
[20:38] * Stabitha looks at the little blue Moogle.
[20:38] < Lem[EvilGM]> The clerk rubs his head, "Alright fine, we do have insurance on this deal, you will still get paid for the safe return of some of them but let me say the guild will not be happy with you."
[20:38] < Misato> "We cannot turn our backs on the remaining villagers for /money."
[20:39] * Kyann nods to Misato.
[20:39] < Stabitha> "And there's always treasure to be had."
[20:39] * Misato wrinkles her nose slightly. "There are greater stakes here than simply material wealth."
[20:40] * Kuropo nods shortly. "I can live with that."
[20:40] * Xyzo looks at the compiled party. He is, of course, doing so through his sunglasses and over his fake mustache. Today's theme: glitter-covered white leather. "Well, this should be a fun trip. I haven't been on a sea trip for years."
[20:40] * Kyann narrows his eyes at Xyzo for reminding him.
[20:41] < Lem[EvilGM]> The clerks, "Well yes, assuming you get going instead of crowding my office, I do have other matters to deal with."
[20:41] < Stabitha> "I've never been on a boat at all. This is really exciting."
[20:41] < Lem[EvilGM]> +coughs
[20:41] < Misato> "Let us depart." She grumbles softly. "The sooner we get this... boat ride over with, the better."
[20:41] * Kuropo worms his way towards the door. "C'mon, we'd better get moving."
[20:42] * Stabitha is already out the door and dashing down the hall.
[20:42] * Kyann nods to Kuropo. "Let's do it."
[20:42] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Right then, where you heading from here)
[20:43] < Kyann> ((I'm going to try and track down a map of the island and/or info on it before we leave.))
[20:43] * Stabitha takes this opportunity to do her previously-mentioned shopping.
[20:43] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Right then, roll inquiry)
[20:44] < Kyann> ((...Defaults to MAG? :P))
[20:44] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Yep)
[20:44] < Kyann> ((This sure ain't gonna happen. :P))
[20:44] < Zowar> Hmm. Knowledge *is* power, after all...perhaps I should make my own inquiry.
[20:44] < Kyann> !dice 1d100
[20:44] < Highwind> ( Kyann - 1d100 ) 24
[20:45] < Lem[EvilGM]> Kyann doesn't have any luck, hell most of the people he talks to don't even know where Istan is on an atlas.
[20:45] < Xyzo> (I'm going to let my manager know I'll be out of town so he doesn't get me any conflicting gigs. Then I'll just find this boat. And a Hawaiian shirt.)
[20:46] * Zowar . o O (Can I try an Inquiry as well?)
[20:46] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Sure)
[20:46] < Zowar> !dice 1d100
[20:46] < Highwind> ( Zowar - 1d100 ) 63
[20:46] * Kuropo heads down towards the docks, muttering under his breath about the contract.
[20:46] * Zowar . o O (Skill 44. Probably failed too.)
[20:46] < Lem[EvilGM]> (duely noted Xyzo)
[20:46] < Kyann> "Damn, bunch of uneducated people in this town. I mean, hell, *I* could find Istan on a map. You know. If I knew where it was."
[20:47] * Misato takes her time to head down to the docks. Her very sweet, long time.
[20:47] < Lem[EvilGM]> Likewise Zowar has very little luck in find anyone who knows more about Istan other then "Its south of here...right?"
[20:47] * Zowar sighs. "Evidently, most people here are not that powerful..."
[20:47] * Zowar heads to the docks.
[20:47] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Zowar, roll Arcane lore)
[20:48] * Kyann puts his hands in the pockets of his coat and heads to the docks, whistling to himself.
[20:48] * Stabitha does a little asking around about Istan buying her new knife.
[20:48] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Kyann: Halmaron is a landlocked city as far as I know, you have to go to Sol, to the south)
[20:49] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Stabitha - you have little problem picking up your knife and tonics, less you want to haggle)
[20:49] < Stabitha> ((No, I have no haggling skills. I rely on theivery, but I'm in no mood to be caught before a mission))
[20:50] < Zowar> !dice 1d100
[20:50] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Right then)
[20:50] < Highwind> ( Zowar - 1d100 ) 67
[20:50] * Zowar . o O (Skill of 46.)
[20:50] * GERG[cleaning] has joined #generica
[20:50] * Zowar . o O (And Highwind apparently likes the sixties today.)
[20:50] < Kyann> ((Hey, everyone was heading to the docks, cut me some slack. :P))
[20:50] < Stabitha> ((By all rights, Halmaron has a port. Though I could very well envision a small port town a short ride away. Maybe half an hour or so by Chocobo Express or something. :p))
[20:50] < GERG[cleaning]> ((What quest is this?))
[20:51] < SSFSX17> ((Istan. You didn't make it. Sorry.))
[20:51] < Kuropo> ((Well, Halmaron does have its Airships. So the sea port might be elsewhere in the kingdom.))
[20:51] < Lem[EvilGM]> Zowar vaguely recalls some ancient legends that relate to Istan, you only know Istan has some relation to Asura, wife of Leviathan who is considered one of the major gods of Cassia, just as Phoenix is in Prieve or Golem was in Moril.
[20:51] < Zowar> Hmm...
[20:52] * Zowar decides to head to Halmaron's south gate to wait for the others.
[20:52] < Xyzo> (Alright, let's all just re-gather at the Guild and say we're heading to the port. For ease of time. :p)
[20:52] < Lem[EvilGM]> ( Stabitha: Either way Captain J. Daniels is in Sol, which is far closer to Istan then Halmaron)
[20:52] * Stabitha asks the shopkeepers about Istan while getting her knife, just in case they know something interesting.
[20:52] < Stabitha> !roll 1d100
[20:52] < Highwind> Stabitha - 1d100: 11 ( Total: 11 )
[20:53] < Stabitha> ((I don't expect...))
[20:53] < Stabitha> ((Whoa))
[20:53] < Teirlap> ((Yay.))
[20:53] < Lem[EvilGM]> (What are you rolling? :p)
[20:53] < Stabitha> ((Inquiry I guess))
[20:53] * GERG[cleaning] has left #generica
[20:53] < Stabitha> ((Meaning I had a default of 12. :p))
[20:53] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Barely, barely)
[20:55] < Lem[EvilGM]> You beging chatting it up with the store keeper as he rattles on about the finer points of this certain ninja blade, and its fine steel when you idly ask about Istan. "Ah Istan, I had a cousin who went there a summer ago. Its something of an exotic vacation spot if your very wealthy...least if you don't mind a little danger."
[20:56] < Lem[EvilGM]> "Just go out there with a bare minimum of supplies a tent and really rough it, my cousin shot down this gaint boar with a quicksilver rifle. Thing must have been 3 meters long. Said it was the best meat ever."
[20:57] < Stabitha> "Hmmm... I'm not to thrilled about roughing it, but I can't say no to that kind of place. Wealthy people and danger are key ingredients for treasure."
[20:57] < Stabitha> "I hope one of my colleagues has a tent... thanks!"
[20:58] < Lem[EvilGM]> The shop keeper shrugs, "Its pretty remote, you don't get a lot of people up there. I've heard there was a tribe of natives there but they don't journey out much."
[20:58] < Lem[EvilGM]> "Have an excellent day, thank you and come again."
[20:58] < Xyzo> (Alright, we all meet at the south gate to head out. When the conversation finishes. :D)
[20:58] < Kyann> (Indeed)
[20:58] * Stabitha waves and leaves, remembering to come back to this guy when she needs a new knife.
[20:58] < Stabitha> . o O (Natives, huh? Weasel-face never mentioned that...)
[20:59] * Stabitha wanders to the designated meeting place.
[20:59] * Kyann is waiting at the south gate, axe resting on his shoulder, smoking a cigarette, waiting for everyone to show up.
[20:59] * Misato has wandered around Halmaron for a while, enjoying the feel of land under her feet, before showing up at the south gate.
[21:00] < Lem[EvilGM]> (You meet up at the southern gate, Sol is a good half days walk from here, or atleast after you pass through the Halmaron 'slums' that exist outside the city walls.
[21:00] * Xyzo is, meanwhile, playing a street show for pocket change.
[21:00] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Xyzo, roll 'instrument')
[21:00] < Xyzo> !roll 1d100
[21:00] < Highwind> Xyzo - 1d100: 55 ( Total: 55 )
[21:01] < Xyzo> (I've got a 52, so... :p)
[21:01] * Kyann tries to sing along, out of boredom more than anything.
[21:01] < Lem[EvilGM]> You're a little off tune today but nobody really notices or cares as they pass by, a couple people carefully drop a few gil off nearby suspecting that you are an insane homeless person.
[21:02] < Lem[EvilGM]> (You get 4 gil)
[21:02] * Misato flattens her ears at the singing and playing, blue eyes narrowing to slits. She's already in a foul mood.
[21:02] < Xyzo> (Woo!)
[21:02] * Zowar sighs. Xyzo should really learn a song or two.
[21:02] < Lem[EvilGM]> (brb quickly)
[21:02] * Kyann joins in with lyrics that he mostly improvises as he goes. Song is fun for all!
[21:03] < Stabitha> "Whoa... people give you money just for singing badly and dressing worse? I may need to take up singing someday..."
[21:03] * Xyzo picks up on Kyann, and tries to improvise the tune along with the words. Since both are improvising off each other, it gets rather tangled quickly.
[21:03] * Stabitha notices Kyann singing.
[21:03] < Stabitha> "...or maybe not"
[21:03] < Kyann> o/~ "There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure, cause you know sometimes words have two meanings"
[21:04] * ComaTose has quit IRC (Quit: Connection reset by beer.)
[21:04] < Stabitha> "Pfff, everybody sings that one."
[21:04] * Kuropo just leans back against the wall and snickers at the antics.
[21:04] * Kyann stops. "How about this one?"
[21:04] * Misato stands, the last great bastion to sanity, and looks rather longingly towards the gate. "We are all here now, are we not? Perhaps we should depart before too long."
[21:05] * Kyann looks at Xyzo... "Key of E flat..." "I get no kick from Champagne..."
[21:05] < Lem[EvilGM]> (and back)
[21:05] * Xyzo starts kickin' it, old school.
[21:06] < Lem[EvilGM]> (you heading off now?)
[21:06] < Zowar> ...
[21:06] * Stabitha rolls her eyes at Kyann and wanders off through the gate.
[21:06] < Zowar> And here I was thinking I was cryptic.
[21:06] * Stabitha stops and looks back at the others.
[21:06] < Xyzo> (Yeah, probably. :D)
[21:06] * Zowar follows the sane(r) Thief.
[21:06] < Stabitha> "Oh, a shopkeeper gave me some information."
[21:06] < Misato> You are, sir. They are simply unintelligible.
[21:06] < Kyann> "...that I get a KICK outta you." Kyann looks around and shrugs. "Maybe I should have tried something esle, eh, X-man?"
[21:07] * Kyann starts out the gate.
[21:07] < Stabitha> "This island is a playground for the rich, and for people who enjoy outdoorsy crap."
[21:07] * Xyzo picks up his befeathered hat. "Thank you folks! Have a nice day!" Then he winks a little at Kyann as he starts walking. "Maybe. Or maybe they just have no taste."
[21:07] < Kyann> "You can't beat the classics, I say."
[21:07] < Stabitha> "There's wild animals and such - which we knew about - and possibly a tribe of natives, which I don't recall being told about."
[21:08] * Kuropo cocks an eyebrow. "Nice going."
[21:08] < Misato> "Natives? Interesting."
[21:08] < Kyann> "Of course the guild doesn't care about the natives, I'm sure."
[21:08] < Zowar> Hmm.
[21:09] < Zowar> I once heard tales that the city is connected with the legendary spirit Asura.
[21:09] < Zowar> Perhaps...hmm.
[21:09] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Istan is a island not a city, just to note)
[21:10] < Kuropo> "Let's just hope we don't run into her."
[21:10] * Xyzo catches up and nods slightly. "So, natives, dangerous beasts, legendary spirit. I think it's safe to say we don't want to stick around for too long there, right?"
[21:10] * Stabitha nods.
[21:10] < Stabitha> "Watch your back in these slums, too."
[21:10] < Lem[EvilGM]> Heading south through Halmaron is never something you want to do at night. While not exactly a den of thieves, it is definately one of the rougher parts of town. The only upside to this is relatively few merchants are attempting to haggle with you for things you really don't want, much less need. You make good time through the streets.
[21:11] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Anyone who has awareness roll it :p)
[21:11] * Misato keeps her hand loosely curled around the scabbard of her weapon, watching the passing buildings intently.
[21:11] * Xyzo grew up in areas not much better than this. He knows enough to watch the alley openings and the doorways.

[21:13] < Lem[EvilGM]> Misato, Kyann and Xyzo and catch a glint of a softly glowing light from the back of a shady alley at about the same time. Kuropo however spots it a bit sooner and also notices a faint squeeking.
[21:13] * Kyann stops. "Hrm, what's that?" he says softly.
[21:13] < Lem[EvilGM]> Stabitha on the other hand is a little lost in unplesant childhood memories and nearly walks right by it.
[21:13] * Xyzo keeps on walking normally, though he does unsling... his guitar.
[21:14] * Kuropo waves a hand at the others to catch their attention and hisses a soft warning. "Something in the alley... let's see if we can get past without trouble."
[21:14] * Stabitha stops
[21:14] * Stabitha looks down the alley.
[21:14] < Stabitha> "Shiny..."
[21:14] * Misato stops as well. "Indeed... oh, no." She turns to look at Stabitha, eyes widening.
[21:14] * Zowar continues to ponder and limp.
[21:15] < Lem[EvilGM]> Not only is it shiny but definately metalic, probably a gil or maybe even a golden coin.
[21:15] < Xyzo> (We hate you, Lem.)
[21:15] < Lem[EvilGM]> (:D)
[21:15] < Kyann> "...Shiny?"
[21:15] * Stabitha looks intently down the alley.
[21:15] * Zowar is lost in thought, and doesn't really notice any of this.
[21:15] * Kyann unslings his axe, but follows close by Stabitha, just in case.
[21:15] < Stabitha> "These slums are dangerous, but maybe I can sneak down and grab it."
[21:16] * Xyzo stops and peers down the alley further. "Is that *really* a good idea?"
[21:16] < Stabitha> "Treasure is always a good idea, but I don't want to do it if you're all going to leave me behind..."
[21:16] < Kyann> "Not alone you can't, girl."
[21:16] * Stabitha looks at Kyann, startled.
[21:16] * Xyzo suddenly notices Zowar has started to wander off. "Hey, old man! Get back here!"
[21:17] * Misato notes dryly, "You do remember the last time you spotted treasure, hmm?" Her voice is wry, but she's actually smiling a little.
[21:17] < Kuropo> "Let's keep moving. We don't need to get into trouble here."
[21:17] * Stabitha blushes a little.
[21:17] < Stabitha> "At least this time I'm thinking first."
[21:17] < Misato> "For that, I am thankful."
[21:17] < Kyann> "It *is* shiny... come on, it might be interesting."
[21:17] < Stabitha> "I'm sure I could sneak down and grab it."
[21:18] * Stabitha starts creeping down the alleyway.
[21:18] * Zowar snaps out of his trance. "Hmm?"
[21:18] < Stabitha> ((Stealth roll, I assume?))
[21:18] < Zowar> What's the delay?
[21:18] * Kyann follows Stabitha, in case she gets into trouble.
[21:18] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Sure, anyone joining you?)
[21:18] * Kuropo groans quietly as Stabitha moves forward, but pulls his rifle to his shoulder to cover her.
[21:18] < Kyann> ((Indeed))

[21:21] < Kyann> ((Oh, right. I always forget I have my own bathroom and it doesn't take long :P))
[21:21] < Lem[EvilGM]> You both seem to creep up with minimum noise, sure enough there is a single gold coin with an unsual face on it. But before you can examine it the glowing stops, then starts again as a small furry thing snatches the coin and dashes up Stabitha's arm with it. In a flash it jumps and scurries up the wall to a fire escape above.
[21:22] < Lem[EvilGM]> Your still considering what to do when two thugs jump out from behind you effectively trapping you in the alley. A Nezumi down from a window and splits a grin, "No troubles bub, just give us your gil and we'll be done with this little business transaction." The boxes in the back rumble as the glow darts out, now clearly identifable as a rodent and scurries under the feet of the thug that dropped down.
[21:22] * Kyann drops into a combat stance. "I don't think you want this kind of trouble."
[21:23] * Kyann is practically snarling, kicking himself for being so stupid as to fall for such an obvious trap.
[21:23] * Stabitha turns on the Poor Little Girl act.
[21:23] * Zowar limps back to where the non-alley-bound party stopped.
[21:23] * Kuropo spots the thugs' movements and steps forward, cocking his rifle with a loud click as he does so. "Uh-huh. Think again, 'bub'. We have you surrounded."
[21:23] * Xyzo strikes a riff on his guitar, attracting the thug's attention to behind them as well. "Don't be cruel!"
[21:23] < Stabitha> "Can't a poor little orphan try to scrouge a living?"
[21:23] < Kyann> "Maybe if you give us *your* Gil we'll let you live."

[21:26] * Misato just facepalms at Kyann, katana in hand. "Spirits save me."
[21:26] * Xyzo quietly leans closer to Misato and whispers, "I think I see why you leave your men at home."

[21:27] < Lem[EvilGM]> Stabitha, while you don't know this guy specifically his stance and red vest marks him as one of the Genji Twins, a powerful gang that has been around for years. Supposably it was once fonded by two brothers who specialized in two handed fighting."

[21:31] < Kyann> "Bring it."

[21:32] * Stabitha again twirls her knives.
[21:33] * Lem[EvilGM] turns to Stabitha plainly ignoring the rest, "Right I understand that kitten, but I can't just go away empty handed now." He winks, "Maybe we can make other arrangements."
[21:33] < Kyann> "I don't think so."
[21:33] < Stabitha> "If you don't go away, the thieves of the Guild may have to look more closely at what the Genji Twins are up to."
[21:34] * Kyann steps forward. "I'm leaving. If you want to try to stop me... go right ahead."
[21:34] < Lem[EvilGM]> * Bartolomeu awwws slightly, "I see, little guild children out for an adventure, sounds like fun." He mutters whilst tripping Kyann with a fair degree of skill (Kyann roll a agility check to catch yourself)

[23:12] < Lem[EvilGM]> The coin is of unusual make, the gold seems real enough but its worth is daubious at best. Examining both sides reveal that they both have the same face of a rather charming and regal appearing lady.
[23:12] < Stabitha> "This is a strange bit of Gil, if it's even Gil."

[23:17] < Stabitha> "Guess I'll ask around about the coin when we're done."

[23:18] < Lem[EvilGM]> Coal furances burn constantly, giving rise to great plumes of smoke. The volumn of smog, soot and noise give Sol a very seedy feel to it which isn't helped at all by the numerous pubs.

[23:19] < Kyann> "Maybe we should take a rest at an inn, and ask about where to find Captain Daniels."

[23:20] < Kyann> "Could be worse."
[23:20] < Stabitha> "Hmmm... dirtier than the slums, but overwise very familiar."
[23:20] < Stabitha> "Let's just find the docks."
[23:20] < Kuropo> "I say we head straight for the docks and look for a warship with "Harpoon" painted on the bow. Shouldn't be too hard to find."
[23:21] < Kyann> "....What's the rush, really?"
[23:21] * Kyann looks around shiftily.
[23:22] * Misato flicks one ear back. "I would like to find this boat." I want to find my barfing spot. "I am curious to know what leaky tub we are being forced to ride in, and somehow cart back twenty-four people in."
[23:22] < Kuropo> "The Captain's services don't come cheap, remember? The later we depart from here, the longer the mission takes and the greater the chances of us having to pay out money."
[23:23] < Kyann> "Right. Well. To the docks then."
[23:24] * Kyann tries to look cheerful about the whole excursion, and lacking a bluff skill, fails miserably.
[23:24] < Lem[EvilGM]> You'd think finding a single ship would be easier in Sol...well it is...you do find a single ship...several hundred single ships. None of them are clearly marked either.
[23:24] * Misato does not look cheerful. In fact, she looks downright dour.
[23:25] * Stabitha sighs.
[23:25] < Kyann> "Told you we didn't need to go right for the ship."

[23:27] * Zowar . o O (Throw Kyann a bone, Highwind!)
[23:27] < Kyann> "Well, OK, the shitheap is clearly labeled. But not the Harpoon."
[23:28] < Lem[EvilGM]> Kyann doesn't turn up anything more then "The MNF Harpoon you mean? Or the SFT Harpoon? Blast ya, I don't know where either is."
[23:28] * Kyann mutters darkly.
[23:28] < Kyann> "....Maybe we should ask about J. Daniels, that's a pretty distinctive name. I hope."

[23:30] * Stabitha puts on the charm (as best she can) and starts chatting up a sailor.

[23:31] * Zowar . o O (59/40. Bah.)
[23:32] < Lem[EvilGM]> Zowar finds the ship registry in complete disarray and 2 years out of date, apparently they aren't keen on book keeping.
[23:32] * Misato watches Kyann try talking to passersby, and decides to try and give it a shot, asking about J. Daniels.
[23:32] < Lem[EvilGM]> Stabitha however has a little be more luck coaxing info out of the long at sea sailors.
[23:33] * Zowar . o O (...Seduction works that well? Oi.)
[23:33] < Kyann> ((Horny sailors :P))
[23:33] < Stabitha> "Howdy sailors, think you can help out a lady with a problem?"
[23:33] < Lem[EvilGM]> "J. Daniels ya say sugar? Blargad always hangs around the Baited Sasquatch, rough place there. Now you know I got some shore leave and I know this decent motel up the way if your free."
[23:34] * Xyzo slides up next to Stabitha, all dressed up in his sequined leather and glitter-covered sunglasses. "Actually, the lady's with *me*."
[23:34] * Stabitha blinks.
[23:34] < Kyann> (Arr. Beat me to it :P)
[23:35] < Stabitha> "I am indisposed at the moment. I'm sure you'll see me around again soon though."
[23:35] * Stabitha winks and walks away, glad to be out of there.

[23:36] * Kyann is sitting on a pier, smoking a cigarette, irritated at the whole venture.
[23:36] < Lem[EvilGM]> The sailor glances Xyzo up and down, mutters darkly and wanders off.
[23:36] * Kuropo FAILS, and falls to the deck, suppressed laughter coming from him.
[23:37] * Stabitha whispers to Xyzo, "Thanks... I had planned to talk my way away from him, but thanks."
[23:37] * Zowar emerges from the registry just in time to witness this scene. "....."
[23:37] < Lem[EvilGM]> (God I love this group :p)
[23:37] < Zowar> I have seen stranger sights. But not many. Not many at all.
[23:37] * Kyann blows a smoke ring, not knowing how lucky he is to not be looking that direction.
[23:37] * Xyzo winks, smirking. "Being freakish and confusing gets things done quicker, sometimes. If they don't know how to respond, nothing bad can happen."
[23:38] * Zowar . o O (Hmm. Laundry. Gah.)
[23:38] < Kyann> ((Is it cool if we take like, a ten minute break?))
[23:39] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Incidently I suspect we might not get through this all.)
[23:39] < Kyann> (Oy)
[23:39] < Lem[EvilGM]> (I'm for a break, hows everyones schedule tomorrow?)
[23:39] < Xyzo> (It's 11:30 EST and we're not even on the boat. :D)
[23:39] < Misato> (I'm free - I just need to hit bed by midnight EST tomorrow. Stupid work.)
[23:39] < Lem[EvilGM]> (This might be smoother if stretched over two days, we could do it tonight but it'd be rushed and rather long)
[23:39] < Kyann> (Tomorrow... hrm. I'll have to talk to Smith and Graham. But I can prolly be free in the evening)
[23:40] < Lem[EvilGM]> (I'd plan on starting earlier rather then later, but I'm flexible)
[23:40] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Anyhow break for 10)
[23:40] < Stabitha> ((I can take a short break right now, though I don't know when I'll next have unfettered PC time. :/))
[23:40] < Kuropo> (I can be free anytime.)
[23:40] < Stabitha> ((We'll work something out))
[23:41] < Lem[EvilGM]> (I'm almost tempted to do some PBEM PTC games)
[23:41] < Kyann> (Actually if we break relatively early- as in, before 1-1:30 tonight- I might have no plans tomorrow. *shrug* I'll call and see.)
[23:41] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Right.)
[23:42] < Kyann> (Bah. No answer)
[23:47] * Kyann has quit IRC (Ping timeout.)

[23:51] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Everyone back?)
[23:51] < Xyzo> (Believe so.)
[23:51] < Stabitha> ahoyhoy
[23:52] < Kyann> (Let's DO IT!!!)
[23:52] < Misato> (Dyar!)
[23:52] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Just waiting on Rodger then)
[23:53] < Kyann> (I am recaffeinitized and renicotinized)
[23:53] < Misato> (Mmm... caffeine.)
[23:53] < Kuropo> (Ready.)
[23:53] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Right)
[23:54] < Xyzo> "Alright, to the Baited Sasquatch!"
[23:54] < Lem[EvilGM]> (So ball is in your court, the Baited Sasquatch is the pub you need)
[23:54] < Kyann> "Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke... so a unch of adventurers walk into a bar..."
[23:55] < Xyzo> "Let's just try not to get into a brawl this time."
[23:55] < Zowar> Wishful thinking.
[23:55] < Stabitha> "I never saw myself as someone who would ever go to a place named the Baited Sasquatch. Drunks are good for pickpocketing though..."
[23:56] < Kyann> "Remind me never to drink around her..."
[23:56] < Xyzo> "Never drink around her."
[23:56] < Lem[EvilGM]> You push open the door to the Baited Sasquatch and faulter slightly at the disrepair of the pub. Fortunately enough the pub is nearly completely empty so the solitary figure at the bar currently creating a pyramid of upside down shot glasses is easy to spot. Captain J. Daniels glares at you well before you even begin to approach, sizing you up and ultimately dismissing you as a non-threat. He downs another shot of whisky with hi
[23:56] < Xyzo> ('with hi')
[23:56] < Lem[EvilGM]> He downs another shot of whisky with his one mechanized artifical arm and adds the glass to his structure. "Adventures, heh. Ye blasted amatures are going to get yourself shanghai'd. But if ye have business with the Captain, talk swiftly, I have no patience for fools."
[23:57] * Stabitha decides not to try and pick his pockets.
[23:58] < Zowar> Very well, then. We need passage for our evacuation operation.
[23:58] * Misato arches an eyebrow at the pub, then both at the 'Captain', before letting one of the more loquacious ones of the party talk. Her gifts do not extend to pretty speeches.
[23:59] < Kyann> "We were told you were our ride to Istan. We're with the GUild."
[23:59] < Xyzo> :looks around the bar... "Hey, I think I played here once..."
[23:59] * Xyzo looks around the bar... "Hey, I think I played here once..."
[23:59] < Xyzo> (Shut up, hon.)
[23:59] < Misato> (*LAUGHpoint*)
[00:00] < Stabitha> ((For a second I thought you were mimicing yourself. I feel dumb now.))
[00:00] * Zowar . o O (Why do I get the feeling the bartender is going to attack Xyzo?)
[00:00] < Lem[EvilGM]> "Guild?" He sneers, "I don't know what your talking about boy."
[00:00] * GenLeon[Hiding] has left #generica
[00:01] < Kyann> "Oh for the love of... The Halmaron Adventurer's Guild?"
[00:01] < Stabitha> "You are Captain J. Daniels of the MNF Harpoon, right?"
[00:01] * Zowar . o O (Curse you, Blair. I just finished looking that up.)
[00:02] * Lem[EvilGM] has a good poker face, "Aye that be my name and I don't care if you be from the Royal Hindass herself, if you want to deal with me, deal."
[00:03] < Zowar> The Halmaron Adventurer's Guild sent us on a mission to help evacuate the remaining people of Istan, and informed us that you would be our transport there and back.
[00:03] < Kyann> "I believe payment was already arranged."
[00:03] < Lem[EvilGM]> "Arrr, maybe it was and maybe it wasn't. You got any proof?"
[00:04] * Kuropo meets Daniels' gaze steadily. "We've got the contract from the Guild. It names you and your vessel specifically in handling transport."
[00:05] < Lem[EvilGM]> * Spits, "Contract eh?" A slight hint of worry breaks through his otherwise flawless poker face.
[00:05] < Lem[EvilGM]> +Captian Daniels
[00:06] * Misato simply folds her arms over her chest, and taps her foot in the smallest display of growing impatience.
[00:06] * Xyzo digs into his pockets. "Let's see, I think I have it here someplace..."
[00:06] < Kuropo> "Now, it admittedly doesn't state that you've already been paid. But do you really want to have the Guild find out that you took their money and then tried to skin us for more? Good passenger contracts are so .hard. to come by..."
[00:07] * Lem[EvilGM] scoffs at that, "Little moogle, you have no idea the calibur of my operations, I assure you this is the first I've heard of any passenger contract."
[00:07] * Kuropo shrugs. "Suit yourself, Captain. We can find another ship."
[00:07] * Kyann looks around nervously.
[00:07] * Xyzo keeps rummaging through his pockets, 'attempting' to find the contract.
[00:07] < Kuropo> "Frankly, if you're going to be double-dealing us on this, I don't think I want to hire you after all."
[00:08] * Misato growls low in her throat, and lets her hand rest on her scabbard, ears pinned back against her head.
[00:08] * Stabitha digs out her new coin and idly plays with it.
[00:09] < Lem[EvilGM]> "I have no idea what you be talking about, no guild has contacted me in an age, thank the seas. I welcome ye to find someone else, you couldn't afford the MNF Harpoon anyhow. He downs another shot glancing wearily at Xyzo.
[00:10] < Kyann> "Come on now. What say I buy us a round of drinks and we can talk about this like civilized men."
[00:10] < Kuropo> "Suit yourself, Captain. Best of luck in Cassia."
[00:11] * Lem[EvilGM] scoffs off the moogle and helps himself to another drink.
[00:12] * Kyann reaches into his pocket and gets wide-eyed.
[00:12] < Xyzo> (I'm gonna try and fake him out.)
[00:12] < Kyann> "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!"
[00:12] * Kyann pulls out the contract. "Forgot about this."
[00:12] < Xyzo> (Or not, if there really *is* a contract. :D)
[00:12] < Lem[EvilGM]> (You did get it when Xyzo asked)
[00:12] < Lem[EvilGM]> (YES!)
[00:13] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Slams his head against the desk)
[00:13] < Kyann> ((Got me too, but I cheated and asked in another channel :P)
[00:13] < Lem[EvilGM]> (I though you were being weird about it)
[00:13] < Kuropo> ((Oh, GOOD.))
[00:13] < Lem[EvilGM]> The captain slams his current shot glass on the bar causing it to shatter and mutters curses in four different languages as he spots the paper. "THAT! Blasted guild, I knew that ancient contract be bad business that would come to haunt me. ARRRR, my services be yours but for the next 4 days, no more no less as the contract reads. I be a man of my word."
[00:13] * Kyann slams the paper down on the table. "What do you say to THAT, old man?"
[00:13] * Zowar can probably understand all four languages.
[00:14] < Kyann> "Then.... let's head to Istan as soon as possible."
[00:14] < Lem[EvilGM]> "Now, where ye go is your own business though, so ye best be knowing the way." The Captain drops a couple solid gold coins on the bar and stands adjusting his triangle hat, he marches out the door at a brisk pace, not bothering if you can keep up or not.
[00:14] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Zowar turns slightly green at the sheer valguarness of it)
[00:14] * Zowar follows the captain. Slowly.
[00:15] * Kuropo shakes his head wearily. "We're really going to trust this guy?"
[00:15] < Zowar> I didn't know there was anyone left alive who knew THAT word...
[00:15] * Kyann follows the captain. "How are you still walking straight, old man?"
[00:15] * Stabitha sighs.
[00:15] * Misato does, out of irritation, purposefully take down the topmost glass down off the pyramid and set it on the countertop, then follows after the rest of them sourly.
[00:15] * Xyzo looks at everybody else. "Well, just think of the money. Or the innocent lives we're saving. Or the money."
[00:16] < Stabitha> "Or the treasure:
[00:16] * Kuropo tugs at Zowar's robe as they exit. "Come on, we'd better side-trip to the charts shop and pick up fresh charts for Istan. He as good as told us he's not doing the navigating, and I trust him to set course about as far as I could throw his ship."
[00:17] < Zowar> Very well, then. *looks for the nearest chart shop that's still open*
[00:17] < Lem[EvilGM]> Struggling to follow the Captain you finally reach the storm-ridden south ocean, the MNF Harpoon doesn't really seem to stand out among the contrasting Moril steamboats and Halmaron sails. But once aboard you soon realize the true benifit of the decomisioned Moril ironclad warship. The Harpoon obviously benifits from a skilled engineer, vastly rare outside the capital of Moril. For one to come willingly to Halmaron is rare indee
[00:17] < Lem[EvilGM]> (You find a chart shop rather easily)
[00:18] * Zowar quickly purchases a chart showing the way to Istan.
[00:18] < Stabitha> ((rare indee))
[00:18] * Kuropo waits for Zowar to identify the charts needed, and remains on hand to dicker as needed.
[00:18] < Lem[EvilGM]> (indeed. thats it)
[00:18] * Kyann stands on the dock, looking up at the ship apprehensively, not quite wanting to go aboard quite yet.
[00:19] * Xyzo gets on the bloody ship.
[00:19] * Kyann waits for the others to get ready to go, chainsmoking.
[00:19] * Zowar finishes his transaction, and heads for the ship.
[00:19] * Misato looks at the ship. Looks at the gangplank. Looks up at the sky.
[00:20] * Misato does not move from the dock.
[00:20] < Lem[EvilGM]> Most of the charts only have small little blips between Sol and Cassia as Istan, not very detailed or accruate in the least. But after flipping through a few you manage to find one relatively specific map of Istan in relationship to the Halmaron coast line.
[00:20] * Zowar . o O (Getting that one, then. How many Gil?)
[00:20] * Kyann looks at Misato. "Ladies first."
[00:20] < Lem[EvilGM]> Its a pretty penny though, 50 gil easy.
[00:20] * Zowar . o O (...hmm.)
[00:20] * Zowar looks at the chart. Useful...yet expensive. Hmm.
[00:20] < Stabitha> "Finally knowing your place, Kyann?"
[00:20] * Stabitha goes on ahead of them both.
[00:21] * Kuropo looks over at the shopkeeper. "Does it have to be that much? This is very important business, a matter of life-and-death for the people on that island..."
[00:21] < Kyann> "My place is on dry land." Kyann says quietly, surprisingly almost timid.
[00:21] < Kuropo> !roll 1d100
[00:21] < Highwind> Kuropo - 1d100: 32 ( Total: 32 )
[00:21] < Kuropo> (Hah! Trade skill of 32 .exactly.!)
[00:22] * Misato looks back at Kyann, wrinkles her nose and bares teeth in a wordless hiss. With the most achingly slow steps she can muster, she clutches at the gangplank's ropes and slooooooowly climbs up the walkway, looking straight ahead all the while. . oO(Think of the people who need you. Fear is the mind killer...)
[00:23] < Lem[EvilGM]> You barter around with the merchant who doesn't seem overly attacted to the damn map anyhow. "I'll let it go for 30 gil."
[00:23] * Kyann is taken aback by the scary look.
[00:23] < Zowar> Fair enough. *pays the 30 Gil, and slips the map into a pocket.
[00:23] * Stabitha looks back at her two Mithra companions.
[00:23] < Stabitha> "You guys aren't scared, are you?"
[00:23] * Misato narrows her eyes, giving Stabitha a feral look.
[00:24] < Kyann> "...No. I'm not scared of... anything."
[00:24] * Zowar acquired Key Item: Sea Chart to Istan!
[00:24] < Misato> "-No-."
[00:24] * Kyann looks at the heaving ship.
[00:24] * Kyann turns slightly green.
[00:24] * Zowar makes his way to the ship.
[00:24] * Stabitha sighs.
[00:24] * Kuropo tags along with Zowar, bouncing almost happily now.
[00:25] < Lem[EvilGM]> (everyone aboard?)
[00:25] * Kyann closes his eyes, knowing that this is going to suck, and walks behind Misato, ready to be trampled at a moment's notice.
[00:25] < Xyzo> (I think so.)
[00:25] * Misato .oO(Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the mind killer.) She makes it up the gangplank and immediately moves to the middle of the ship. No trampling for Kyann. Today, anyway.
[00:25] * Zowar arrives at the ship, and goes back into Mysterious Robed Figure mode. "One must confront one's weaknesses to gain strength."
[00:26] * Kyann makes it onto the ship, struggling to keep his balance until he finds a place to shit.
[00:26] < Kyann> (*sit -_-)
[00:26] < Misato> (...)
[00:26] * Zowar . o O (Now that's a slip.)
[00:26] < Lem[EvilGM]> (hehehehe)
[00:26] < Misato> (XD)
[00:26] * Xyzo quickly imitates Zowar with a nearby empty sack. "One must be strong-winded to speak in riddles."
[00:26] * Xyzo then falls over.
[00:26] < Lem[EvilGM]> (well there is a portapotty if you really need to go)
[00:26] < Lem[EvilGM]> Captain J. Daniels quickly summons his men, "Ye blargards, we be moving out immediately. Mr. Christopher, I would advice ye to paying attention where these landlubbers be wishing to go." The Captain rubs his beard, jingling a few beads, "I shall be below." He mutters before stalking down a set of spiraled stairs."
[00:27] < Kyann> (I'll just feed the fish)
[00:27] < Lem[EvilGM]> Mr. Christopher, a short nervous man, approaches you slowly. "Clients I might persume? Where would be your pleasure, sirs?"
[00:27] * Zowar boards the ship, steeling himself. "Hmm. The chocobo ride was worse...though we aren't *moving* yet..."
[00:27] < Xyzo> "Ishtar.
[00:27] < Stabitha> ...
[00:27] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Istan)
[00:27] < Zowar> ...
[00:27] * Kuropo passes out a few vials of patented Sea Sickness Cure.
[00:27] < Xyzo> "Er, Istan."
[00:27] < Stabitha> "Istan"
[00:27] < Xyzo> (I didn't typo.)
[00:28] < Lem[EvilGM]> Mr. Christopher nods and coughs politely. "All crewmen, ready to depart, Mr. Edwards, our course is set." A single plume of steam errupts from the central vent, before the MNF Harpoon pushes away from the docks, heading towards the open sea.
[00:28] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Roll navigation whoever is leading them)
[00:28] < Stabitha> ((I don't navigate))
[00:28] < Kyann> "Hey, this isn't so ba...... uh-oh."
[00:28] < Xyzo> (Navigation? Oh crud.)
[00:28] * Kuropo whispers "I think the musician's been listening to too many bad Eastern tales again."
[00:28] * Zowar hasn't learned navigation yet, so hands the chart to the lucky PC.
[00:28] < Misato> (...)
[00:28] < Misato> (I... have Navigation.)
[00:29] < Misato> (I think.)
[00:29] * Zowar . o O (That or he hasn't remembered his navigation skills yet.)
[00:29] * Zowar . o O (Whichever.)
[00:29] < Kyann> (I'm not the man to ask.)
[00:29] < Xyzo> (Misato's the *only* one with Navigation.)
[00:29] < Kuropo> (Hopefully the chart will provide bonuses...)
[00:29] < Lem[EvilGM]> (It does)
[00:29] * Zowar hands the chart to Misato. "This ought to help you lead the ship."
[00:30] * Misato makes a strangled sort of noise as she slinks down to the deck, sitting and clutching the chart.
[00:30] < Misato> "Ah... all right."
[00:30] * Zowar then seeks the most stable point on the ship to sit down.
[00:31] < Xyzo> (Okay. We're on an iron steamship going through a storm with a drunken captain, being navigated by a seasick siamese cat, looking for a tiny island full of monsters. )
[00:31] < Lem[EvilGM]> (However Misato is also not feeling well which might be a negative)
[00:31] < Xyzo> (Does anybody else have a Bad Feeling? :D)
[00:31] * Zowar . o O (We are so very very DOOMED.)
[00:31] < Kyann> (I have a bad feeling, but that's just vomiting over the side)
[00:31] * Teirlap has joined #generica
[00:31] < Misato> (This is so funny. :D)
[00:32] < Kyann> (mmm.....comedy of errors)
[00:32] * Zowar . o O (Time for Highwind's Big Scene.)
[00:32] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Roll em Misato)
[00:32] < Kuropo> (HOLD UP!)
[00:32] * Lem[EvilGM] holds
[00:32] * Zowar . o O (Where he/she/it rolls us a double 0. Hundreds, that is.)
[00:33] * Kuropo notices that Misato isn't feeling well, and reaches into his beltpouch for some herbs. He mixes them together in a vial and passes it to Misato. "Drink this. It should clear your head."
[00:34] < Kuropo> (Treatment on Misato, to push away the worst of the seasickness hangover.)
[00:34] < Lem[EvilGM]> (roger that)
[00:34] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Roll em Misato)
[00:35] * Misato peers at the concoction, but she's so willing to do anything to keep from feeling like breakfast is about to become a technicolour yawn that she nods to Kuropo and drinks it, wincing at the taste. Then she turns her attention back to the map, which has suddenly become one map instead of two.
[00:35] < Misato> !roll 1d100
[00:35] < Highwind> Misato - 1d100: 81 ( Total: 81 )
[00:35] < Kyann> (OH GOD)

[00:36] < Kuropo> (I .KILL. YOU! You're DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!)
[00:36] < Misato> (ROCKS FALL EVERYONE DIES)
[00:36] * Zowar . o O (I turn evil and Bull Rush you into the lava pool.)
[00:37] < Lem[EvilGM]> You start along course fortunately the map gives you a fair indication of where you have to go, after a few readjustments you feel confident you are on the right course (finally)
[00:37] < Kyann> ((Hey, where did that iceberg come from...?))
[00:37] < Lem[EvilGM]> Even with the driven speed of the MNF Harpoon's steam based engine, progress seems slow across the vast ocean. The sea while at first, a beautiful sight, has grown discomforting in its infinite horizon of nothing. The long trip grows even more tedious by the completely lack of anything worth while to do. All of Captain J. Daniels men operate smoothly, like a well oiled machine, but never pause to converse, and outright reject an
[00:37] * Zowar . o O (What's that sign read?..."South Figaro...")
[00:37] < Xyzo> (reject an)
[00:38] * Misato .oO(I knew I should have taken a left at *urp* Albuquerque.)
[00:38] < Lem[EvilGM]> All of Captain J. Daniels men operate smoothly, like a well oiled machine, but never pause to converse, and outright reject any offers of assistance.
[00:38] < Lem[EvilGM]> You haven't even seen the Captain since you left, and being confined from most parts of the ship has started to wear down your collective nerves.
[00:38] * Zowar decides to pass the time by looking through the pack that Floria sent along.
[00:38] * SSFSX17 has quit IRC (Quit: .)
[00:38] * Kyann spends most of the trip trying to sleep and occasionally 'feeding the fishes'
[00:38] * Xyzo does the rational thing. He starts playing. For hours.
[00:38] * Misato spends her time blearily looking at the map and laying on the deck, wanting to /die/.
[00:38] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Roll instruments Xyzo)
[00:39] * Kyann tries to take his mind off the sickness by practicing his singing, along with Xyzo.
[00:39] < Xyzo> !roll 1d100
[00:39] * Zowar can't play his instrument. Pianos are hard to carry.
[00:39] < Highwind> Xyzo - 1d100: 10 ( Total: 10 )
[00:39] < Xyzo> (YES!)
[00:39] * Zowar . o O (Xyzo played well.)
[00:39] < Misato> (...)
[00:39] * Zowar . o O (We are all going to die.)
[00:39] * Zowar . o O (This is a sign of Armageddon.)
[00:39] * Xyzo does the Marbule Song from Chrono Cross, lifting the curse from the island.
[00:39] * Stabitha wanders the ship, watching the ocean, looking for treasures.
[00:39] * Xyzo is, however, unfortunately in the WRONG WORLD to care.
[00:39] < Misato> (*LAUGH*)
[00:39] < Kyann> ((Xyzo has the wind waker!))
[00:40] * Kuropo spends his time trying to keep an eye on the rest of the party, and nurturing suspicions that the crew of the Harpoon might try to toss us overboard.
[00:40] < Lem[EvilGM]> Despite the crews gruff attitude Xyzo and Kyann hit it off with a few fine songs. Lessening the stress of everyone and giving a slight relief to those who are seasick.
[00:40] < Stabitha> ((OMG The Hymn of the Fayth! RUN))
[00:40] < Kyann> "There is a house in Halmaron... they call the Rising Sun!"

[00:42] < Misato> (I critically make my awareness roll why? My ear is to the deck! Yes! >_>)
[00:42] < Lem[EvilGM]> Kyann and Misato are over at the railing...heaving again when both spot a ship off in the distance. Misato focuses her eyes and catches the hint of a large white flag with a black cross and moggle sized skull on it.
[00:42] < Xyzo> (OH GOD NO)
[00:42] < Kyann> ".....Hey... um.... Misato... what does that flag mean....?"
[00:42] < Xyzo> (Not Moogle Pirates!)
[00:42] < Stabitha> ((Captain Blackupo?))
[00:42] < Xyzo> (Lem, I hate you.)
[00:42] < Lem[EvilGM]> (:D)
[00:43] < Lem[EvilGM]> As the commotion spreads across the MNF Harpoon, Captain J. Daniels promptly appears from below. His mere presence calms his men, as he boldly steps out towards the starport railing. He glares directly at the one eyed moogle wearing an 'over the top' black pirate hat and cusses, "Mogran." The moogle grins smuggly and twirls his sword as several cannons explode, smashing into the side of the MNF Harpoon. Captain J. Daniels fumes
[00:43] * Zowar . o O (Maybe I should use Disguise and appear as a Yeti.)
[00:43] < Lem[EvilGM]> The moogle grins smuggly and twirls his sword as several cannons explode, smashing into the side of the MNF Harpoon. Captain J. Daniels fumes slightly, before booming "ALL HANDS RETURN FIRE!"

[00:44] * Kuropo is very VERY glad we're on an IRON-PLATED SHIP.
[00:44] * Misato *urp*, then blinks as the flag. "Bad things."
[00:44] < Misato> (+at -as)
[00:44] * Zowar . o O (...I got a decent initiative. O_O)
[00:44] < Lem[EvilGM]> (If you charatered someone else you would be fucked now)

[00:45] < Xyzo> (Or delay until the Chemist.)
[00:45] * Kyann stumbles around vaguely drunken-looking, and tries to take down Pirate 2 with his axe.

[00:47] * Zowar decides to hold off acting until he feels a little better. (Delaying until 9.)
[00:49] < Lem[EvilGM]> Captain Daniels glares at Captain Mogran, "Blast ye scum, back for more? You shall never have the MNF Harpoon!" He brings up his short barreled rifle and blasts Pirate 2.

[00:50] * Zowar . o O (He's a drunkard. With a gun. What were you expecting?)
[00:50] < Kyann> (I certainly should have)
[00:50] < Lem[EvilGM]> Pirate 2 takes the blast in the torso causing a messy sucking gut wound. He isn't dead but he sure wishes he was.

[00:54] < Lem[EvilGM]> (right)
[00:54] < Lem[EvilGM]> Kuropo is up
[00:55] < Kuropo> Kuropo looks around at the green faces of his shipmates, and uses Treatment to snap them out of it.
[00:55] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Right everyone is now not mute or cursed)
[00:55] < Misato> (:D)
[00:56] < Xyzo> I wait until 7.

[00:57] * Zowar . o O (For Flashbacks. It too missed.)
[00:57] * Misato shakes herself out as Kuropo's treatment begins to work on her. Feeling herself reattune with her blade's spirits, and feeling less like she's going to blow chunks, she does the only thing she considers logical: "ASHURA!" *urp* (IP -2)
[00:57] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Goes at 8)
[00:57] < Lem[EvilGM]> Go Zowar
[00:58] * Zowar straightens up, and narrows his eyes at Captain Morgan. "Powers of light, show me my foe's weakness! Scan!"
[00:58] * Zowar . o O (Err. -Morgan +Mogran.)
[00:59] < Kyann> (You keep your hands off my Captain Morgan's)

[01:00] < Zowar> Hmm. So the dread pirate Mogran fears the powers of lightning...

[01:01] < Lem[EvilGM]> Hrm.

[01:04] < Lem[EvilGM]> Misato unleashes a horrid blast of energy that knocks Pirate 2 over board, Pirates 1, 3 and 4 are also knocked over but get back up. Mogran growls a little but holds his ground.
[01:04] < Lem[EvilGM]> (35 damage to pirates, 26 to mogran)
[01:05] * Zowar . o O (And this is where Xyzo shows what a Mime can do.)

[01:07] < Lem[EvilGM]> (Right goes off at 5)
[01:07] < Xyzo> (No, it's a fast action.)

[01:10] < Lem[EvilGM]> In another brutal blow all the pirates get knocked overboard. Only Mogran is left standing. He grits his teeth. "Ya Blargard Daniels, had to hire some help to take me down? You'll never take me alive though...or dead."
[01:10] < Lem[EvilGM]> "RETREAT!"
[01:10] < Lem[EvilGM]> Having taken his share, Pirate Captain Mogran twirls his blade defending his retreating crew to the last man. Even as the ship
