[17:57] < Tempest56> Quick note folks - we'll be a few minutes late, I'm on a long-distance phone call right now. Shouldn't be more than a few.
[17:57] * b6 is now known as K_Thyme
[17:59] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> Ok, good. I was afraid I had gotten the wrong time.
[17:59] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> Wow, my monitor is vibrating for some reason.
[17:59] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> This is freaky.
[17:59] * Cleveland is now known as Freewind
[17:59] * Winter has joined #generica
[17:59] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> I'm gonna restart the computer.
[17:59] * BLAlien_Lahtrebeil has quit IRC (Quit: )
[18:03] * BLAlien_Lahtrebeil has joined #generica
[18:03] * SSFSX17[Classing] is now known as FloriaMargarette
[18:03] < FloriaMargarette> Phew
[18:03] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> 'Figured out the problem. I had one of those magnetic moving thingies on top of the computer.
[18:03] * Igtenos has joined #generica
[18:03] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Igtenos
[18:03] < K_Thyme> heh
[18:03] < Freewind> That would do it
[18:04] < FloriaMargarette> I could really use some Clan Double Heat Sinks in my chassis right now.
[18:04] < FloriaMargarette> Fortunately, I have discovered that I'm not late.
[18:04] < K_Thyme> O_o
[18:05] < K_Thyme> i have no idea what youre talking about :P
[18:05] < J`Rai> (I caught the BTech reference, but that's about it.)
[18:05] < FloriaMargarette> I ran and powerwalked cross-country
[18:05] < J`Rai> (That would explain it.)
[18:06] < FloriaMargarette> Well, I guess that's a bit of an overstatement for "went through the diameter of a circular park"
[18:06] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> How big a park?
[18:07] < FloriaMargarette> I don't really know.
[18:07] < FloriaMargarette> Maybe half a mile across.
[18:07] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> Oh...
[18:07] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> Well, don't strain yourself.
[18:08] < FloriaMargarette> I have a personal fan in my room, so it's okay
[18:09] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> I should probably go feed the kitty and the doggy before the game starts.
[18:09] < K_Thyme> crud, i missed my advising appointment today =/
[18:10] * Winter twirls
[18:10] * Winter is now known as Valentine`
[18:13] * Teucer[AFK] has quit IRC (Quit: YAY FACE SEX!)
[18:14] * gregthegamer has joined #generica
[18:15] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> Wow, Teucer got lucky...
[18:15] < Valentine`> eh? How so?
[18:15] < FloriaMargarette> He often quits with that message.
[18:16] < Valentine`> ahhh
[18:16] < K_Thyme> not to say he isnt actually getting lucky ;)
[18:16] < gregthegamer> what msg was it? the "YAY FACE SEX" ?
[18:19] < gregthegamer> thats a new topic...
[18:19] < gregthegamer> what brought that aboot?
[18:20] * gregthegamer has quit IRC (Quit: i got pwned...)
[18:23] * Tempest56 gets back.
[18:23] < Tempest56> Sorry folks, that was totally my fault.
[18:23] < Freewind> No problem
[18:23] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> Just blame it on a pet - that
[18:23] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> 's what I do.
[18:23] < Tempest56> Alright, everybody ready?
[18:23] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> Not yet.
[18:24] < BLAlien_Lahtrebeil> PALADIN POWER UP!
[18:24] * K_Thyme is
[18:24] * BLAlien_Lahtrebeil is now known as Lahtrebeil
[18:24] * Valentine` blinks
[18:24] < Valentine`> wargh
[18:24] * Valentine` does the in-character dance
[18:25] < Freewind> I'm ready
[18:25] < Tempest56> Pat?
[18:26] < Lahtrebeil> I have a question.
[18:26] < FloriaMargarette> Ready.
[18:26] < Tempest56> Yes?
[18:26] < Lahtrebeil> Is this a stock up on stuff, go someplace far away, kill stuff, and come back adventure, or a hang around town, having several opportunities to buy stuff adventure?
[18:27] < Tempest56> The first.
[18:27] < Valentine`> heheh
[18:27] < Lahtrebeil> Ah.
[18:27] < Lahtrebeil> Better decide what I want to buy now then.
[18:28] * Tempest56 ahems. Which leads me to the first order of business.... THE INTRODUCTION (dun dun dun!)
[18:28] < Valentine`> (*gasp!*)
[18:28] < K_Thyme> (hehe)
[18:29] < Tempest56> The Guild has each of you signed up for a relatively simple, almost traditional task. James 'Old Man' MacDonald has been running the same farm, just outside of the city, for longer than most of you have been alive. And he's a long time Guild customer, because his terrible luck has always plagued the farm with disaster after disaster.
[18:30] < Valentine`> (...erk... 600mb out of 650mb into my Slackware download it fails T_T)
[18:31] < Tempest56> One year, it was giant locusts. Another, it was a small volcano. Every year, often multiple times, something terrible happens on the farm. But MacDonald always manages to pull it out somehow and keep going. Today, you've been given an assignment to go and help the farm out of yet another jam - a mysteeeerious one, too.
[18:31] < Lahtrebeil> "I'll bet MacDonald was cursed."
[18:31] * FloriaMargarette silently packs some things to go
[18:32] * Valentine` grumbles and wonders whether he should even bring his swords...
[18:32] < Tempest56> Your Guild contact isn't the usual guy behind a desk - MacDonald is such a good customer, he has his own guy here - a lanky-looking guy, ready with the briefing.
[18:32] * J`Rai is now known as J`Rai|Bathing
[18:33] * Freewind bounces up and down excitedly
[18:33] * K_Thyme looks curiously at Freewind
[18:33] < K_Thyme> "Excited, eh?"
[18:33] < Lahtrebeil> "What would you have us do, sir?"
[18:34] < Freewind> "Always"
[18:34] < Tempest56> "This one's a pretty strange one, even for Old MacDonald's farm. It's nothing mundane like a hex or an invasion of sentient potatoes. Recently, the crop fields have been getting... changed. Each morning, it's a different field. We get up and - boom. Entire acres of crops have been bent over, twisted and turned to form strange symbols."
[18:34] * FloriaMargarette only knows a man by his voice...
[18:34] * Freewind grins
[18:34] * FloriaMargarette , however, imagines that he is a perfectly normal-sized man
[18:34] * Valentine` raises an eyebrow "Unusual"
[18:35] < K_Thyme> "Do the symbols make any sort of sense?"
[18:35] < Valentine`> "Some bored archmage having his fun, perhaps?"
[18:35] < Tempest56> "Nobody knows what to make of these crop circles, but they're starting to disturb the workers. The crops haven't been seriously harmed yet, but this has to stop. That's your job. Investigate these crop formations, find out what's causing them, and stop it. Pay is the usual rate, of course."
[18:35] < Lahtrebeil> "I suspect dark forces at work here."
[18:35] < Lahtrebeil> "May we have an advance payment to stock up on supplies?"
[18:35] * FloriaMargarette will have to get a map of the signs sometime
[18:35] * FloriaMargarette thinks that Zowar would be interested in a map of the signs.
[18:36] < Valentine`> "So do we have any leads?"
[18:36] < Tempest56> The contact leans back, and scratches his chin. "'Fraid not. The old man's a bit leery on this one. He isn't sure even the Guild can solve this problem, so he's not willing to pay up front."
[18:37] < Tempest56> "As for leads - none. We haven't found any tracks, there doesn't seem to be a pattern to which fields are being tampered with, and even when we leave folks to watch the place, nobody's seen coming in or out."
[18:38] < Lahtrebeil> "Maybe it's gophers..."
[18:38] < Valentine`> "Huh, i see."
[18:38] < Tempest56> "All we know is that it always happens at night, and it's always just one field."
[18:38] < Lahtrebeil> "...Vampiric gophers..."
[18:38] * Valentine` snickers "Well, i guess that's where we should start, unless someone has a better idea"
[18:39] < Freewind> "Sounds good to me"
[18:39] < Lahtrebeil> (How long 'til nightfall?)
[18:41] * FloriaMargarette shifts in her seat, wanting to get up and go. They can talk about this while they go to the farm. She just wants to get in the field.
[18:42] < Tempest56> (Well, you have to get to the farm first. :D But, you leave now, you should get there an hour or so before dark.)
[18:42] * Lahtrebeil wants to buy stuff.
[18:43] * K_Thyme polishes his knives a bit, "So are we ready to get started?"
[18:43] < Valentine`> "I can't think of anything to buy for myself, but go ahead"
[18:43] < Freewind> "I should pick up some supplies first"
[18:44] * FloriaMargarette guesses that she will have to wait for a while, then.
[18:44] < Lahtrebeil> (Wow, the new H*R cartoon has reached new levels of wrong.)
[18:45] * Lahtrebeil walks to the marketplace.
[18:45] * Freewind follows
[18:45] * FloriaMargarette stays with the representative, provided that she didn't hear him leave.
[18:45] < Tempest56> (Alright, what's getting bought?)
[18:45] < Freewind> (One ether, 150 gil)
[18:45] < Tempest56> The guy stays there, indeed.
[18:45] < Lahtrebeil> (Two potions, 100 gil)
[18:47] < Tempest56> (Nothing else?)
[18:47] * Freewind finishes shopping and rejoins the others
[18:47] < Freewind> (I'm done)
[18:47] < Tempest56> (Good, let's get on with things, then, rather than spending the whole night trying to RP shopping trips. :D)
[18:48] < Valentine`> (hehe)
[18:48] * K_Thyme walks over to FloriaMargarette, "They are going to buy some things, apparently. We just need to wait, I think."
[18:49] * GenLeon has joined #generica
[18:49] * Lahtrebeil is finished.
[18:49] < Tempest56> (Alright, everybody's back together. Time to head out, unless there's any objections.)
[18:49] * FloriaMargarette nods
[18:49] * Valentine` is ready to go!
[18:49] * Freewind is still bouncing up and down in excitement
[18:50] < Tempest56> The road's pretty well marked - MacDonald's farm is big, well-known, and not far. It's only a short trip. The afternoon's sunny, there's a nice breeze, everything's cheerful and happy.
[18:50] * FloriaMargarette ties her hat loosely around her neck and lets it fall backwards
[18:51] < Tempest56> Just ahead, however, there's something in the road. Kinda odd, that. It looks kind of like a small shack sitting on the side of the road, with a fence across the path.
[18:51] * K_Thyme describes that to Floria, sounding remarkably like the GM :P
[18:51] * Valentine` relaxes and gets a little nap time in
[18:51] < Lahtrebeil> "Hmm, this small shack sitting on the side of the road with a fence across the path looks kind of odd."
[18:52] * FloriaMargarette smiles to Thyme
[18:53] * Lahtrebeil knocks on the door.
[18:54] * Valentine` waits for Lahtrebeil to get done interrogating the shack
[18:54] * FloriaMargarette remembers when she enjoyed such days in her childhood
[18:54] < Tempest56> The shack itself shakes a bit. "Hello, traveller! Welcome to the Cid Memorial Toll Road! I am glad to be at your service this fine day! Please deposit 100 Gil per traveller to continue on."
[18:54] < Lahtrebeil> "Eh?"
[18:54] < K_Thyme> "You must be kidding me."
[18:54] < Freewind> "Huh?"
[18:54] < Lahtrebeil> "Who do you represent?"
[18:55] * FloriaMargarette doesn't remember that in her childhood...
[18:55] * Lahtrebeil wishes he had ignored his adventurer's instinct and left the shack alone.
[18:55] * FloriaMargarette orders the building to tell her about the fellow's stats
[18:56] * K_Thyme mutters about paying a shack.
[18:56] < K_Thyme> "I just won't do it... unorthodox... stupid... wasteful.. take your pick!"
[18:56] < Lahtrebeil> "If your association has not directly contributed to the creation of this road I refuse to pay you anything!"
[18:57] * Valentine` shakes his head and adjusts his travelling robes
[18:57] < Tempest56> The toll booth chipperly replies, almost visibly bouncing. "I represent concerned citizens everywhere, who want to be sure that the roads are properly kept up! Please insert 100 Gil per traveller to continue on!"
[18:57] * FloriaMargarette realizes the booth itself is alive
[18:57] < Lahtrebeil> "May I see your government ID?"
[18:57] < Valentine`> "I vote we continue on and not pay the booth?"
[18:57] * FloriaMargarette Geotrances in another building to sit next to it and examine it
[18:58] < Tempest56> (Huh, Pat?)
[18:58] < Lahtrebeil> "Let's not be rash, Valentine. He may represent a legitimate govt agency."
[18:58] < FloriaMargarette> ((Geotrance Town Level 1: Scan effect))
[18:58] < Tempest56> (Gotcha.)
[18:58] < K_Thyme> "Legitimate or not, I refuse to pay."
[18:58] < Freewind> "Tell it we're on offical business"
[18:59] < K_Thyme> "Really, as often as we have to respond to Old MacDonald, to place a toll on the road to his farm is ludicrus!"
[18:59] < K_Thyme> (i just realized how short our party is O_o)
[18:59] < Lahtrebeil> "We have official orders from the Adventurer's Guild to pass through this road. Unless you represent the Halmaron government, any obstruction of our mission will be seen as an attack and dealt with accordingly."
[18:59] < Tempest56> Scan: Toll Bot, Level 6 Machina. HP: 120, MP: 42, W: Thunder, I: Poison, I: Mystify. A small automated building, designed to take money from travellers. Unknown origin, unknown creator. Probably not supposed to be here.
[19:00] < Valentine`> (hehe, i'm like inhumanly short, for an Elf ^.^;;)
[19:00] < FloriaMargarette> (I'm not short at all... I think)
[19:00] < Freewind> (I'm not short, just vertically challenged)
[19:00] * Lahtrebeil is tall for a cat-person.
[19:00] < Tempest56> The booth chimes in, almost... smiling. "Well, it's a pleasure to see brave adventuers who are out for the good of all people! For you, a discount! Only 99 Gil per traveller! Please pay to continue on!"
[19:01] * FloriaMargarette points at the building and >_< 's
[19:01] < K_Thyme> (K is happy to be >4ft tall :P)
[19:01] < Freewind> "I refuse to pay this ... thing"
[19:01] * Lahtrebeil whispers to the party, "Does somebody have a bucket of water we can pour on this robot thing?"
[19:01] < Valentine`> (i'm like 5'2 or something)
[19:01] * FloriaMargarette hopes that the grass around the building punishes it for being so naughty
[19:01] < FloriaMargarette> ((Geomancy Level 1: Plasma))
[19:01] * Valentine` coughs and draws a sword
[19:02] * Freewind lifts his staff
[19:02] < Valentine`> "Very well! We'll just go around."
[19:02] * Lahtrebeil sighs at the violent nature of his allies and draws his sword.
[19:02] * K_Thyme also draws his two knives, "I agree. This has wasted enough of our time."
[19:02] < Tempest56> (Battle commences. Party gets a pre-emptive attack round due to 'surprise'.)
[19:03] < Freewind> "I knew this would get ugly"
[19:03] < FloriaMargarette> !roll 1d8+30
[19:03] < Highwind> FloriaMargarette - 1d8+30: 2 ( Total: 32 )
[19:03] * Valentine` shrugs at Lahtrebeil "Yeah, well, i'm not interested in paying extortion fees to some weird shack"
[19:03] * K_Thyme nods in accordance with Valentine`
[19:03] * Lahtrebeil rolls for traumatization.
[19:03] < Lahtrebeil> !roll 1d100
[19:03] < Highwind> Lahtrebeil - 1d100: 50 ( Total: 50 )
[19:03] * Freewind nods in agreement

[19:04] < FloriaMargarette> (32 lightning damage)
[19:04] < FloriaMargarette> (unless you want me to roll again)
[19:04] < Lahtrebeil> (Hah hah, that's half its health right there.)
[19:04] < Tempest56> (Nah, I was just slow because I forgot to write down everybody's SPD. :D)
[19:04] < FloriaMargarette> (nah, elemental weakness is only 150% damage)
[19:05] < K_Thyme> (heh)
[19:05] < Lahtrebeil> (It's still close.)
[19:05] * Metalfury has joined #generica
[19:05] < Lahtrebeil> (40%, actually)
[19:05] < Tempest56> The ground rises up and blasts the 'bot. Hard. The entire thing shudders and sparks wildly. "Warning: Toll Bot #3668 reporting robbery in progress! Deploy defensive measures!"
[19:05] < Tempest56> (K?)
[19:06] * K_Thyme looks lovingly at his new knives, runs up to the shack, and attacks with surprising grace (especially from a Dwarf)
[19:06] < K_Thyme> !roll 2d100
[19:06] < Highwind> K_Thyme - 2d100: 8, 60 ( Total: 68 )

[19:08] < FloriaMargarette> 66 base
[19:08] < Valentine`> (wow, +27! ^.~)
[19:09] < K_Thyme> (3x9... for a dwarf, thats darn agile!)
[19:09] < Tempest56> The rather stupid machine rattles a bit, and rather large chunks come peeling off of it. Dumb thing's already tipping over.
[19:09] < Tempest56> (Valentine?)
[19:09] < Lahtrebeil> (I gotta go eat dinner. Just have me attack or cover or something.)
[19:10] * Lahtrebeil is now known as Lahtrebeil_dinner
[19:10] * Valentine` takes a couple swings at it with his swords
[19:10] < Valentine`> !roll 2d100

[19:11] < Tempest56> Aaaaand the thing tips over, smoking. "Beeeeeeeeee....p."
[19:11] < FloriaMargarette> (...even nicer)
[19:11] < Valentine`> (aheheh, nice)
[19:11] < K_Thyme> (two in a row... yikes)
[19:12] < Valentine`> (hey, you should have seen HW the last couple games i've played in)
[19:12] * J`Rai|Bathing is now known as J`Rai|Scouts
[19:12] < Valentine`> (more 100s than i can count
[19:12] < Valentine`> )
[19:12] < Valentine`> (well, ok, three or four of them)
[19:13] < K_Thyme> (in as many attacks...)
[19:13] < Tempest56> The thing smokes a bit more, but it's pretty obviously crunched. That was.. surprisingly easy.
[19:13] < Tempest56> !roll 1d100
[19:13] < Highwind> Tempest56 - 1d100: 53 ( Total: 53 )
[19:13] < Tempest56> And a small little Tonic bottle rolls out of the junk.
[19:13] * FloriaMargarette hopes the highway robbers don't try that stunt ever again!
[19:14] * K_Thyme looks sidelong at his friends, "I wonder if there was any gil in there..."
[19:14] < Tempest56> (149 XP each, 294 Gil for the party.)
[19:14] < Valentine`> (woo!)
[19:14] < K_Thyme> (ill talley it up for division at the end)
[19:15] < Valentine`> (ok)
[19:15] < Tempest56> The rest of the trip to the farm is uneventful. No more random robots pop up, which is a relief.
[19:16] * FloriaMargarette sighs.
[19:16] * Valentine` idly oils his swords
[19:16] < Tempest56> The farm is *huge*. Fortunately, the road goes right up to the farmhouse itself, so you can find your way there simple enough. It's a cheery red place, with a bunch of other buildings surrounding it. Farmer MacDonald's outside the house, already waiting for you.
[19:16] < Valentine`> "Blasted metal monsters'll dull them faster than anything..."
[19:16] * Lahtrebeil_dinner is now known as Lahtrebeil
[19:17] * K_Thyme looks up at the huge house
[19:18] < K_Thyme> "Wow.... that is... big."
[19:18] < K_Thyme> *farm
[19:18] < K_Thyme> >_<
[19:18] < Lahtrebeil> "Hello, sir. We are representatives of the Adventurer's Guild. I assume you know why we are here."
[19:19] < Tempest56> MacDonald checks the sky, and then shakes his head. "Took you folks longer than I thought. But, at least you got here before dark. That's good. Anything I can help you with to speed this up?"
[19:19] * FloriaMargarette stops when she realizes that the farmer must be here
[19:20] < Freewind> "Can you show us the field where you're having the problem?"
[19:20] < Tempest56> MacDonald waves his hand around. "All of 'em. It changes every night."
[19:20] * Valentine` grumbles "Knew it wouldn't be that easy..."
[19:20] < Lahtrebeil> "What are some of the more recent problems you have faced?"
[19:21] < Lahtrebeil> "Besides the changing fields, I mean."
[19:21] < K_Thyme> "No, we don't want that long a list...."
[19:21] < K_Thyme> "Is there any pattern to the fields that are being affected?"
[19:21] * Freewind looks around, wondering how to tackle this problem
[19:22] < K_Thyme> (what kind of crops does he grow?)
[19:22] < K_Thyme> (if its corn, K is going to need a guide :P)
[19:23] < Freewind> (Ditto)
[19:23] * FloriaMargarette can't exactly guide anyone!
[19:23] < Lahtrebeil> (Silly short people. Mazes are fun.)
[19:24] < Tempest56> "There doesn't seem to be any pattern. If you want, I can draw you a map of 'em. And besides this..." MacDonald scratches his chin. "Just the usual. A couple of ghostly posessions, a living whirlwind, and a two-acre-wide raincloud that hovered over the south-western section and rained on the same location for three months straight, non-stop."
[19:24] < Lahtrebeil> "Just out of curiosity, have you or a relative ever seriously pissed off a powerful mage?"
[19:24] < Tempest56> (He grows more or less everything - the farm is very literally gigantic.)
[19:24] < K_Thyme> "Oh, a map would be great."
[19:24] * Valentine` scratches the back of his head
[19:25] * Freewind tugs on Floria's hand
[19:25] < Freewind> "Being a Geomancer you're probably more in tune with the land than any of us. Do you sense anything?"
[19:25] < Tempest56> "None that I know of having survived. There was one about three years ago, who tried to borrow some of my crop to feed an army of goblins, but he ended up spontaniously combusting."
[19:25] * FloriaMargarette turns to Freewind
[19:25] * FloriaMargarette turns back to the farmer and thinks...
[19:25] < Lahtrebeil> "Do you know, exactly, where this happened?"
[19:25] * Memona has joined #Generica

[19:26] < Highwind> FloriaMargarette - 1d100: 74 ( Total: 74 )
[19:26] < Tempest56> The kindly old farmer sits down and starts sketching out a map, as requested, while he talks. "You mean the thing with Exploding Jackson? He blew up about twenty feet behind you."
[19:26] * FloriaMargarette thinks to the ground, "Do you know what's happening to the crops?"
[19:26] < Lahtrebeil> "Hmm. Perhaps if we can exorcise the body, we might be rid of your 'bad luck' for good."
[19:27] < K_Thyme> "Have you ever thought of hiring a set of permanent Guild members just to watch over your farm?"
[19:27] * Valentine` furrows his brows "Perhaps it has something to do with the land itself?"
[19:27] * ElementalKnight has joined #generica
[19:28] * Lahtrebeil ponders, "Like maybe the ground doesn't want to feed the people anymore?"
[19:28] < Lahtrebeil> "Nah, the mage curse is much more interesting."
[19:28] * FloriaMargarette shakes her head no to Lahtrebeil. The ground still lets the crops exist.
[19:28] < Tempest56> MacDonald keeps sketching. "The crops are fine, so far. They just keep... bending. The plants aren't hurt. They grow just as good as they always have, once we straighten them back up."
[19:29] * FloriaMargarette stands next to the door of the building and looks back to the farmer
[19:29] < Lahtrebeil> "A gravity flux, maybe?"
[19:29] < Valentine`> "Or some sort of strange magical experiment from ages ago, perhaps"
[19:29] * FloriaMargarette wonders what fertilizer MacDonald has been trying, anyhow.
[19:30] < Lahtrebeil> "Vampiric gophers are still a possibility."
[19:30] * Valentine` grins
[19:30] * K_Thyme chuckles
[19:30] < Valentine`> "This is all speculation... we need something more solid to go on, in any case"
[19:30] * FloriaMargarette nods to Valentine
[19:31] < Lahtrebeil> "You wanna try looking underground, with MacDonald's permission?"
[19:31] * K_Thyme sits waiting for the farmer to finish.
[19:31] * FloriaMargarette wishes she could see which building was the silo
[19:31] < Tempest56> MacDonald finishes the map, and holds it out to whoever feels like taking it. "You've got about an hour before sunset, so good luck with whatever you're going to do. Please try not to throw around too many fire spells - this is a farm, there's a lot of flamable things."
[19:32] * FloriaMargarette takes the map and starts feeling it, trying to relate what the earth told her to what the map shows
[19:32] < Lahtrebeil> "Nothing's going to happen before nightfall, but it can't hurt to look around beforehand."

[19:33] * K_Thyme chuckles again, "You're already sold on the gophers, arent ya?"
[19:33] * Freewind hopes something vampric shows up so the paladin can get it out of his system
[19:33] < Tempest56> (Navigation succeeds.)
[19:33] * FloriaMargarette starts walking
[19:33] * Lahtrebeil is not amused. "It's a very likely possibility, one we should be prepared for."
[19:33] * Lahtrebeil prefers demons to vampires anyway.
[19:34] < Valentine`> "Well now... what'f they're just really big gophers and not vampiric at all?"
[19:34] < Tempest56> The farm's pretty easy to navigate. The entire set of fields is massive, but laid out in a grid pattern, with small signs occasionally to mark where different crops are.
[19:34] * Freewind follows Floria
[19:34] < Lahtrebeil> "Then why would they only come out at night?"
[19:34] < Lahtrebeil> "Maybe they're were-gophers."
[19:34] < K_Thyme> "...We are following a blind woman. Wow.."
[19:34] < Valentine`> "Well, they'd stand out in the day time, wouldn't they?"
[19:34] < Tempest56> The last field that got tampered with was some flax, about ten minutes north of the farmhouse.
[19:34] * FloriaMargarette wishes the talk of vampirism would just shut up, but doesn't show it
[19:35] * K_Thyme follows anyway
[19:35] < Valentine`> ((OOC: Now look, i'm talking about BIG gophers... nothing vampiric about it!))
[19:35] < Freewind> "I've travelled with Floria before. She's got the best sense of direction I've seen"

[19:35] < Lahtrebeil> (I'm stupid. What is flax?)

[19:36] < Valentine`> (it's something that makes boys unable to reproduce :P)

[19:36] < Valentine`> (except not as toxic, i'd imagine)
[19:36] < Lahtrebeil> "Well, where do we wanna look first?"

[19:39] < FloriaMargarette> ((Oh, right))
[19:39] < K_Thyme> ( Freewind saw the ants walking on the ground )
[19:39] < Tempest56> The field's been mostly straightened back up, but investigation shows that this place was altered. A large number of the plants are bent at the very base, though there's almost no damage to them. The soil around the base of each plant has been slightly disturbed - it's like the plant itself wasn't touched, but the dirt itself shifted to have the plant rotate.
[19:39] < Lahtrebeil> (What are you, blind or something?)

[19:41] * FloriaMargarette smells it
[19:41] * Valentine` shifts uncomfortably
[19:41] * FloriaMargarette puts a little grain in her mouth, too.
[19:41] < Tempest56> The plant pops right out of the ground, roots and all, no problem. The dirt is indeed loose around the bases. As for the dirt itself, there doesn't seem to be anything really unusual about it - it's got a bit of fertilizer in it, but nothing that seems amiss.
[19:42] * Lahtrebeil tries to dig down a little.

[19:45] < K_Thyme> "So what do you think? I can't see anything wrong with this... well, except the loose dirt."
[19:45] < Lahtrebeil> (Anyway, do I see anything unusual? Big worms, ancient runes drawn with a stick, etc?)

[19:46] < K_Thyme> "Especially on this farm..."
[19:46] < Tempest56> (Nope. You can't really get down deep enough to find a whole lot. With the loose dirt, unless you have a shovel and some help, you can only get so far down before more dirt slips down into the hole.)

[19:51] * Valentine` just watches, he's seen enough weirdness in his life
[19:52] < Tempest56> Suddenly, huge trees rise up from out of the ground, and a barrage of leaves fly into the field. There's a loud yelp of surprise and slight fear, then several loud shouts. "THERE THEY ARE! GET 'EM!"

[20:08] * Valentine` wonders if there're any more of them
[20:08] < Tempest56> With Laht's torch and getting closer, you're able to identify the four now, relatively easily. They're either some of MacDonald's farmhands, or people disguised as such.
[20:08] * Lahtrebeil is now known as Lahtrebeil_bathroom
[20:08] < K_Thyme> "Hmm... Can we take them back to the farm and get MacDonald's opinion on this?"
[20:08] * Valentine` looks at them critically
[20:09] < Valentine`> "I think that's a good idea"
[20:09] < K_Thyme> "They look sort of like farm hands, but..."
[20:09] * FloriaMargarette picks one up, holds her knife to his neck, and starts dragging him back to the farm
[20:09] * Valentine` coughs uncomfortably and clears his throat
[20:09] * K_Thyme grins, impressed. "Wow, she's good."
[20:09] * Valentine` nods "That she is"
[20:09] * FloriaMargarette learned from bucking broncos, herding Gorgons, and skinning Strays to never mess around with a sleeping foe.
[20:10] * Lahtrebeil_bathroom is now known as Lahtrebeil
[20:10] * Valentine` lifts one over his shoulders and starts heading back as well
[20:10] < K_Thyme> "So, uh... someone get the other two. I'm not exactly the strong-carrying type."
[20:10] < Freewind> "Me either"
[20:10] < K_Thyme> "We could drag him..."
[20:10] * Lahtrebeil heaves one on each shoulder.
[20:10] * K_Thyme grumbles, "Showoff."
[20:11] * Freewind follows the others back
[20:11] < Tempest56> Getting them back to the farmhouse isn't that hard. I mean, if Floria can carry one, the rest of you can get the other two just fine. Hopefully, without her showing you up too much. MacDonald's inside, having a late meal, when you arrive - and he looks a little confused when he comes outside to see what's happening.
[20:11] * K_Thyme converses lightly with Freewind, who is comfortably the same height :D

[20:13] < Valentine`> "...creatures... right..."
[20:13] < FloriaMargarette> ((One of them being badly bruised, two others with cuts and scratches)
[20:13] < Tempest56> "What th... what are you doing? These are my farmhands! Y.. What did you to to Billy?"
[20:13] < Lahtrebeil> "Uh oh..."
[20:13] * FloriaMargarette shies away
[20:13] * K_Thyme looks around innocently
[20:13] * Lahtrebeil gently puts down the two guys he's carrying.
[20:14] * FloriaMargarette has an ashamed look and turns her head downwards
[20:14] < Lahtrebeil> "Um, can any of us cast healing spells?"
[20:14] < Freewind> "I can"
[20:14] * Demonic_Gerbil is now known as Relativistis_Kinematician
[20:14] < Lahtrebeil> "Would you mind?"
[20:14] < Valentine`> "Well good thing i didn't cut any of them up..."
[20:14] * Relativistis_Kinematician is now known as Relativistic_Kinematician
[20:14] < Freewind> "No problem"
[20:14] < Valentine`> "I think we should get the whole story out of them, though"
[20:14] < K_Thyme> "Well, uh, we.... they attacked us! ...Sort of... and..."
[20:14] * Freewind casts cure on one of the farmhands
[20:15] * FloriaMargarette is sorry she was so aggressive. She was just very protective of her egg, she guesses.
[20:15] < Lahtrebeil> "They did attack us. They just did a very bad job at it."
[20:15] * K_Thyme grumbles in Elven/TT about why they shouldnt have been in our way to begin with.
[20:15] < Tempest56> Farmer MacDonald shakes his head sadly. He briefly converses with one of the concious farmhands (after a quick slapping awake), then turns back to the party. "Uh huh. The 'whole story' seems to be that my boys went out there to try and find whoever was messing with the crops. They thought it was you, you thought it was them."
[20:16] * FloriaMargarette sighs
[20:16] < Freewind> "Wonderful..."
[20:16] < Tempest56> The wounded farmhand looks better. Still rather bruised, but at least not bleeding anymore. Yay for Freewind!
[20:16] * Lahtrebeil wonders how a dwarf knows elven.
[20:16] < K_Thyme> (Time Mage dwarf!)
[20:17] < Valentine`> "I'd guessed it was something along those lines"
[20:17] < K_Thyme> (and there isnt a Dwarven language ;_;)
[20:17] < Lahtrebeil> "You never told us you had field hands. It was assumed you worked the farm by yourself."
[20:17] < Valentine`> "But i suggest only having one party investigating so we don't get in each others way"
[20:17] < Tempest56> "Look. I won't hold it against you - this time. My boys were foolish enough to go out there alone in the dark - but try not to let it happen again?"
[20:17] * FloriaMargarette nods
[20:17] * Valentine` blushes lightly, though it's not all that obvious against his dark skin
[20:17] < Freewind> "So, back into the field?"
[20:17] < Lahtrebeil> "We'll do our best."
[20:17] < K_Thyme> "Yeah... just keep them under observation."
[20:18] * Valentine` slaps his forehead "Of course, none of us are watching the field right now, are we?"
[20:18] < Lahtrebeil> "I think we've investigated the flax all we can."
[20:18] < Lahtrebeil> "We could stick together. Their knowledge of the farm may be an asset."
[20:19] * FloriaMargarette wanders back out by herself while screaming in her own mind, "Oh, if only Zowar were here! Dear Earth, what would Zowar say? I hope I didn't just make a big mistake, Earth, but I really want to get it right this time."

[20:19] < Tempest56> The farmer sighs. "I think my boys would be best staying here for now. They're not in the best condition to be wandering around out there, and I kinda think they don't particularly like you right now."
[20:19] * FloriaMargarette sits down at least tens of paces away from MacDonald's building.
[20:20] * K_Thyme mutters, "they don't like us? I got his blood on my new knife!"
[20:20] * K_Thyme tries to clean it up
[20:20] * ZeroNumber has quit IRC (Quit: )
[20:20] < Lahtrebeil> "They actually helped me. I discovered that my sword can do almost twice as much damage as before." :)
[20:20] * Leminex[WorkingStiff] is now known as Leminex
[20:20] * Leminex has quit IRC (Quit: )
[20:20] < Valentine`> "Y'know, you if you keep those things in good condition the blood will ocme right off..."
[20:21] * Leminex has joined #generica
[20:21] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Leminex
[20:21] < K_Thyme> "Yeah, I'll look into that..."
[20:21] * FloriaMargarette can't believe this!
[20:21] * Memona has joined #Generica
[20:21] * FloriaMargarette wonders about vampire gophers. Such a stupid idea!
[20:22] * Freewind shakes his head disapprovingly
[20:22] * Lahtrebeil doesn't do anything in response, as he can't read minds.
[20:22] * FloriaMargarette wishes they had never talked about those... but still... there's something about the concept
[20:22] * K_Thyme would agree if he could read minds, too :P
[20:22] * FloriaMargarette sprawls out on the ground
[20:23] < K_Thyme> "So where to now?"
[20:23] < Lahtrebeil> "We have no leads, unless we want to return to the flax field."
[20:23] * FloriaMargarette puts her ear to the ground
[20:23] < Freewind> "We aren't going to find anything by just sitting here"

[20:23] < Highwind> FloriaMargarette - 1d100: 19 ( Total: 19 )
[20:23] < Lahtrebeil> "We could patrol the area, watching for odd occurances."
[20:23] < K_Thyme> "What are you doing, Floria?:"
[20:23] * Valentine` contemplates "We wait, i guess"
[20:24] * FloriaMargarette totally ignores Kardek
[20:24] * Lahtrebeil is getting annoyed with Floria's constant tree-hugging.
[20:25] < Freewind> "I vote for patrolling"
[20:25] * FloriaMargarette tells the Earth to go hunt the vampire gophers, or whatever they are, with a Shadowpet (Geomancy Dungeon, since Cave isn't there)

[20:25] * FloriaMargarette then crawls over toward where she thought she heard something
[20:26] * K_Thyme watches her crawl with a very curious look... pondering insanity
[20:26] < Valentine`> (brb)
[20:26] < K_Thyme> "Right... since she won't answer me... Anyone else?"
[20:26] < Lahtrebeil> "Will she be alright by herself?"
[20:26] * FloriaMargarette sweeps the ground with her hands while continuing to track the noises.
[20:27] < Freewind> "Let her work, she knows what she's doing"

[20:27] * K_Thyme scratches his scar and glances at Freewind like hes crazy
[20:27] < K_Thyme> "...Ok."
[20:27] < Lahtrebeil> "I say we split up."
[20:27] * FloriaMargarette stops, sits back, and sighs.
[20:27] < Lahtrebeil> (You wouldn't happen to have a graphical representation of the map, would you?)
[20:28] < Tempest56> (Not really. It's just a giant grid, really. The circles really are quite random.)
[20:29] * Lahtrebeil takes the map and draws out a plan for the party to split up and guard certain sections.
[20:29] < Lahtrebeil> (That's not too vague, is it?)
[20:29] < Valentine`> (am back)
[20:29] < Lahtrebeil> (Hiya)
[20:30] * FloriaMargarette is frustrated. She almost had something, but lost it.
[20:30] * FloriaMargarette thinks... maybe they went straight down
[20:31] < K_Thyme> "This always happens at night, right? Why don't we just go outside and look to see, or maybe hear, something?"
[20:31] < Tempest56> (So what's the plan?)
[20:31] * FloriaMargarette turns to the rest of the party, points at MacDonald's house, and makes a "shovelling" motion (Shirinji style!)
[20:31] < Lahtrebeil> "You want us to go under
[20:31] < Lahtrebeil> MacDonald's house?"
[20:32] * FloriaMargarette gets frustrated again
[20:32] < Freewind> "You think they're underground?"
[20:32] * FloriaMargarette nods yes
[20:32] < K_Thyme> "Do you have a shovel we can borrow, Mac?"
[20:32] < K_Thyme>
