General Bones: [Tell] Good evening.
Oki: [Tell] hugs!!!!
Spec. Adrian: Hello
Oki: hugs!!!
Spec. Adrian: *hugs back Oki*
Pvt. Phil: *hugs back*
Lt. Abnett: That's right! Another night of someone else's fan-tas-yyyyy... Lt. Abnett: Heyo!
Torrin: Uh... yeah.
Lt. Abnett: How we doin'?
Torrin: What ever you've been smoking, Joe, I want some. 
Lt. Abnett: 'Fantasy' by the Levellers. Great old punk song.
Spec. Adrian: lol
Pvt. Phil: Great! How about you?
Torrin: Ah.
Lt. Abnett: Yeah. Could be better, but I’m hangin' in there.
Lt. Abnett: Ooo, levelup.
Oki: hugs all, still hanging onto my cold *choke cough gurgle *
Torrin: *edges away from Oki*
General Bones: [Shout] NWC's been real quiet of late. Only 18 games scheduled in the next 7 days, and all but 2 are campaigns.
Pvt. Phil: Gah my work is being decimated but the flu bugs...
Torrin: I got tired of nobody applying, so I stopped looking.
Pvt. Phil: Wow... not good 
General Bones: [Shout] So none of you are allowed to drop out. :[
Torrin: That and I don't really have the time to do one shots.
Lt. Abnett: Eep.
Pvt. Phil: lol LB
Oki: oh I get the flu shot every year and now the pneumonia shot every 5 years, but I still get colds often and hang onto them like precious minerals
Lt. Abnett: Yo Chiz!
Spec. Adrian: *salutes* Alright, Sir, yes Sir LB
Spec. Adrian: hehehe
Vulcanos: What up!?
Torrin: Just an FYI, I have blade barrier now.
Pvt. Phil: Woot... something else Phil can run into!
General Bones: [Shout] We'll give BoomBoom another minute or two, but we're already late...
Torrin: Yep
Spec. Adrian: thanks for telling us Torrin... I know now I have to run away from you *grins*
Torrin: Heh. You don't want to get me angry; you won't like me when I’m angry. 
Lt. Abnett: C'moooon Booma
Spec. Adrian: *eyes widen* Ehhh!!! First the Sergeant now you!!! Poor Adrian
Lt. Abnett: Now is not the time to be a man down!
Oki: just call him Torrin Banner
Spec. Adrian: Buaaaaahhhh
Oki: we need Boomer
Oki: *casts summon Boomer*
Vulcanos: Boomer! BOOMER! BBBBOOOOOMMMMMEEEEERRRRR!
Lt. Abnett: *sigh*
Torrin: I don't think he's coming.
Oki: Hmmmm, maybe it's because I’m sitting
Lt. Abnett: This is gonna be tricky.
General Bones: [Shout] All right, we'll have to press on without him.
Torrin: No!
Pvt. Phil: hehehe
Torrin: Maybe LB will go easy on us...
Scene:
General Bones: [Shout] You are moving into the cliff area when you see a group of demons up ahead. There is no sign of Velessa.
Pvt. Phil: *blesses self*
Frazaxes: [Shout] Where is that wench?
Frazaxes: [Shout] Azuran! Fly around the area. Find the marilith.
Torrin: Hmm.
Lt. Abnett: Sort out whatever you need to, now.
Lt. Abnett: That bastard's gonna spot us in seconds.
Frost Claw: [Shout] Master!
Frost Claw: [Shout] Master! Master!
Lt. Abnett: Flame on the swords! Now, now!
Frazaxes: [Shout] What, I swear...
Frazaxes: [Shout] The mortals!
Torrin: Just give me a second and don't do anything stupid.
Lt. Abnett: We may not HAVE a second!
Frazaxes: [Shout] They prepare for battle! It is treachery!
Spec. Adrian: wait
*combat breaks out*
Spec. Adrian: Dear god
Torrin: Fine.
Torrin: Die, fiend!
Spec. Adrian: *looks to the blades* Sir, what is that? A trap?
*post-combat*
Pvt. Phil: Oki, look at these!
Lt. Abnett: Uh...
Torrin: No, that was my doing.
*looking at more creatures*
Lt. Abnett: Hell, I don't want to fight these as well.
Spec. Adrian: *turns to see Torrin* Your doing priest?
Lt. Abnett: We're leaving now! Job done!
Velessa: [Shout] Ah, the "mighty" Frazaxes has fallen.
Oki: it's a bracer and a big sword
Lt. Abnett: Huh.
Torrin: Yes, he has.
Lt. Abnett: Stay ready, people.
Velessa: It would seem that Zurgon's difficulties with finding... reliable... help have grown.
Lt. Abnett: We've no quarrel with you, madam!
Oki: someone should take the ice sword it's nice
Lt. Abnett: ... not yet anyway.
Velessa: *shrugs* Zurgon sought an alliance with me. He did not get it.
Lt. Abnett: Yeeeah.
Velessa: He is about to have much... bigger... problems.
Velessa: Somehow, it seems, Hezarin has gotten his hold on a quantity of cold essence.
Lt. Abnett: Why is that a problem?
Torrin: *frowns* Playing each end against the middle?
Velessa: It is a problem if you are Zurgon, as the fire balor intends to use the essence to summon a fiend of great power.
Velessa: I play all sides against all other sides, priest. That is why I am still here.
Spec. Adrian: Nice... reminds me my grandmother
Torrin: Of course, I expect nothing less of you.
Velessa: The question is, what side are _you_ on?
Torrin: The one that gets us home without any of you following.
Velessa: *chuckles* And why would I wish to leave such a ... charming... demesne?
Oki: Hezarin was going to kill us. We had to give it to him
Torrin: *shrugs* I’m no demonologist.
Velessa: My offer still stands. Bring me the essences of both balors, and I will open the way back to your home reality.
Velessa: *to Oki* Oh, so you are responsible? Interesting.
Lt. Abnett: We're working on it.
Oki: thank you
Lt. Abnett: *sighs as that information is leaked*
Velessa: When Hezarin completes his summoning, he will send the fiend Pyrotatus against Zurgon.
Spec. Adrian: *shakes head and steps back*
Velessa: Along with a cadre of his elite fire giant guards.
Velessa: Possibly a pyritic incanter or two.
Torrin: Hmm...
Spec. Adrian: A what?
Velessa: A potent force.
Torrin: Something we don't want to face.
Velessa: I see several possibilities.
Velessa: The summoning will tire Hezarin... Some of his forces will be absent on the raid.
Oki: they are?
Spec. Adrian: Let' me guess... in your vision, all this possibilities... you always win, right?
Velessa: On the other hand, Zurgon, if he survives, will be greatly weakened.
Velessa: *nods* I only wish to survive. As do you, mortal.
Lt. Abnett: *looks down at the floor, thinking*
Torrin: Of course, kill Hezarin while his forces are away, then Zurgon afterwards.
Velessa: If Zurgon, however, were to fall... then Hezarin might gain both amulets, and both essences.
Velessa: He might then become invincible.
Velessa: I do not make any tactical suggestions; I only describe the possibilities.
Torrin: *smirks* Of course.
Oki: if Hezarin were to fall?
Velessa: If Hezarin were to fall, and Zurgon survived, eventually the frost balor might regain enough strength to dominate this realm.
Velessa: Of course, you would need more frost essence. To open the portal.
Torrin: Which would leave us stranded here or worse.
Velessa: Try not to lose it this time.
Oki: do you see a possibility that both can fall?
Velessa: Well now. That would be an interesting circumstance. If only there was some way to... alter, probability.
Torrin: It's a delicate balance, Oki. A strong enough nudge in either direction can cause it to crash down.
Velessa: Well. Hezarin's assault on Zurgon's realm will begin shortly. I look forward to your return.
Lt. Abnett: Hold on -
Lt. Abnett: Damn.
Torrin: Oh, shut up.
Spec. Adrian: I don't like those big iguanas
Torrin: So.
Lt. Abnett: I can think of two ways to play this, at least.
Lt. Abnett: But the one Torrin already mentioned is probably the one that's the most likely to get us out of this.
Torrin: Both of the demon lords will use the amulets to open up a portal to your realm, but leave us all stranded here.
Torrin: Valessa could do the same, but we have to trust somebody and she's a neutral party in the war so far.
Lt. Abnett: We've been maneuvered to the point where Hezarin doesn't need us, and Zurgon doesn't trust us. We could try something clever - like defending Zurgon - or we could just go for the straight assassination coup.
Spec. Adrian: Neutral?
Lt. Abnett: Anyone got any better ideas?
Torrin: Or what passes for neutrality here.
Pvt. Phil: Not me
Lt. Abnett: Ok. Phil, you taking a liking to that big cleaver?
Pvt. Phil: *swing Falchion* It's pretty nice, yes
Lt. Abnett: Keep a hold of it, we're gonna need it. We're low on supplies; I was thinking of hopefully trading for some rather than waiting for that imp... thing to come through.
Torrin: Watch where you swing that, Phil.
Spec. Adrian: Hey!!! Careful *ducks*
Oki: I say we verify that Hezarin's forces are weak and go for him
Lt. Abnett: *nod*
Oki: Hezarin will take care of Zurgon
Lt. Abnett: Hope so. Before we move from here - anyone got anything left to trade?
Oki: clean up Zurgon later
Vulcanos: Well, let's be clear about the plan. We are going to try to kill Hezarin as soon as we can?
Lt. Abnett: Once his troops pass by the mushroom field, Vulcanos, yeah.
Spec. Adrian: I have some stones
Torrin: Only mushroom powder and a cat's eye gem.
Spec. Adrian: like that one
Oki: I have this staff *holds it up*
Lt. Abnett: So that's a no. Ok, cool.
Lt. Abnett: Hm...
Lt. Abnett: I’ll be back.
Torrin: We'll need resting supplies soon.
Pvt. Phil: *watches Joe mystified*
Lt. Abnett: I want to speak to the lady about trade.
Lt. Abnett: I hear she's the woman to see about loose spoils of old wars around here.
Oki: *examines the staff again* interesting dragon's claw on it
Lt. Abnett: *whistles casually as the creatures assemble*
Lt. Abnett: No? Not interested? Ok...
Spec. Adrian: Wow... you look like in the movies, ma'am
Oki: hehehehe
Lt. Abnett: So much for that, I guess.
Spec. Adrian: *grins* Aye
Oki: *gives Adrian the camera* get a shot of this
Lt. Abnett: Great news; we'll be on our own.
Spec. Adrian: *nods*
Spec. Adrian: *steps back with the camera*
Spec. Adrian: Ok... stand still... smile
Spec. Adrian: *click*
Oki: *video camera*
Lt. Abnett: When we're all ready, let's move. I want to see this army march past.
Oki: thanks
Spec. Adrian: [Tell] is it filming or recording?
Oki: *accepts the camera*
Oki: [Tell] both
Spec. Adrian: *ands back the camera* Done... you look nice
Lt. Abnett: *sneak sneak sneak*
Spec. Adrian: *hands
General Bones: [Shout] A large group of giant shrooms is gathering up ahead.
Lt. Abnett: *raises his fist, indicating the squad should take cover*
Lt. Abnett: Damn. Fall back!
Torrin: Phil!
Lt. Abnett: I SAID FALL BACK!
General Bones: [Shout] A giant dragon-headed thing wades in, rips the top off of two of the giant mushrooms, and keeps going.
Torrin: *watches the battle*
Lt. Abnett: ... right. Eesh -
Lt. Abnett: ... ok, I’m glad we didn't get involved in that.
Pvt. Phil: They were big
Lt. Abnett: Advance!
Lt. Abnett: Ok!
Oki: darn missed some excellent footage
Spec. Adrian: *Sign of stop*
Spec. Adrian: too late
Lt. Abnett: Take 'em, make it quick!
Lt. Abnett: *looks around in hope*
Spec. Adrian: *waits*
Torrin: *frowns*
Lt. Abnett: No sign of our supposedly-grateful imp contact?
Spec. Adrian: No Sir
Torrin: Call his name.
Lt. Abnett: Anyone remember what it was?
Spec. Adrian: Not me Sir
Lt. Abnett: So much for that plan.
Vulcanos: Oki, when did you learn how to wield that staff?
Oki: it's just something fun to hold
Lt. Abnett: When we're ready... let's do this.
Torrin: Stay away from the gas.
Vulcanos: *looks at Oki skeptically* One doesn't just hold a staff of this power.
*through the portal*
Lt. Abnett: Halt
Oki: I’ll put it away if it bothers you, Vulcanos
Spec. Adrian: Sir?
Lt. Abnett: Hang on!
Oki: ack
Lt. Abnett: Dammit! BEHIND US!
Spec. Adrian: HERE!
Pvt. Phil: *Guards AA*
Spec. Adrian: *shakes* Eww
Oki: now what were you talking about< Vulcanos?
Lt. Abnett: Keep moving!
Vulcanos: another imp
Torrin: *sighs*
Lt. Abnett: Ok! That's the limit of what I got!
Pvt. Phil: *looks down at burnt flesh as it heals shivering*
Lt. Abnett: That's it! There's no more.
Torrin: Then let's hope nobody falls.
Spec. Adrian: Then let's be careful
Lt. Abnett: *nod*
Vulcanos: Can we get to the demon without additional encounters on the way?
Torrin: Should.
Lt. Abnett: I very much doubt it.
Spec. Adrian: It will be hard if we have to avoid that fain... at the same time... but guess that might be the best
Lt. Abnett: He had a lot of those... guys with axes.
Lt. Abnett: Go!
Pvt. Phil: *yells in pain*
Lt. Abnett: Go!
Pvt. Phil: *winces* Thanks Torrin
Torrin: Be more careful, Phil.
Pvt. Phil: I ran when I was told to Torrin*looks stupefied*
Torrin: Yes, Phil, but you need to run faster if possible.
Lt. Abnett: *loads ice arrows*
Pvt. Phil: Okay, Torrin
Spec. Adrian: and same direction we all run
Torrin: Just follow Joe, Phil.
Lt. Abnett: Vulcanos. You got that bag of cold stuff to fling?
Pvt. Phil: Er... I was followin' Joe
Torrin: Good man.
Spec. Adrian: I have the cold stones Sir
Lt. Abnett: Snipers watching the bridge!
Lt. Abnett: Take 'em out!
Oki: Vulcanos what's this about this being a staff of power?
Vulcanos: I believe the staff confers arcane powers.
Oki: it's just a staff
Spec. Adrian: there Sir
Vulcanos: Of the precise type I do not know without additional examination
Oki: with a glowing ball
Lt. Abnett: Huh? Oh, not those.
Spec. Adrian: Oh... sorry Sir
Vulcanos: No, Oki, it is no ordinary staff.
Lt. Abnett: We got a bag of... never mind.
Torrin: *leans against the pillar*
Lt. Abnett: Rifles! Let's take out these archers on the ridge.
Lt. Abnett: Vulcanos! Gonna need you to bombard the gate, if you can.
Pvt. Phil: Are we going to report our mission’s success, Sir?
Oki: what's it do then?
Oki: *shows it to him*
Lt. Abnett: Not exactly, Phil. Not exactly.
Vulcanos: It allows you to use certain powers, Oki. One or two may be useful to us now.
Vulcanos: *turns to Lieutenant*
Pvt. Phil: Won’t they just let us in... to report? *looks puzzled*
Lt. Abnett: *waits - a little impatiently - for his squad to focus, and wishes his sergeant were here*
Torrin: No, Phil.
Oki: explain
Vulcanos: I can destroy the gate, if you wish. But it will alert our enemies.
Torrin: I think they already know, Vulcanos.
Lt. Abnett: Can't get past it any other way. Are we all ready, here?
Vulcanos: So do you wish me to break it now?
Lt. Abnett: Not yet.
Lt. Abnett: First of all - suppression fire on that ridge. Ready?
Vulcanos: *to Oki* One spell provides more vitality to those affected
Oki: *nods*
Vulcanos: another puts those affected into a Blood Frenzy
Lt. Abnett: *shrugs, and starts shooting*
Oki: so why couldn’t' you use it?
Fiendish Guard: [Shout] INTRUDERS!
Lt. Abnett: THAT's the idea.
Torrin: *snorts*
Lt. Abnett: More up on the ridge!
Fiendish Guard: [Shout] There they are! Kill them!
Lt. Abnett: Kill as many as we can before the fight starts.
Fiendish Guard: [Shout] Fall back to the gate!
Fiendish Battle Sorcerer: [Shout] HOLD THE GATE!
Fiendish Battle Sorcerer: [Shout] For the master!
Fiendish Battle Sorcerer: [Shout] Target the magi!
Oki: target up high
Oki: right side
Lt. Abnett: Hold here!
Spec. Adrian: I can't open that door
Lt. Abnett: Hah!
Lt. Abnett: ADVANCE!
Oki: low on supplies
Lt. Abnett: I know, I know! Play it safe, people!
General Bones: [Shout] The interior of the citadel is surprisingly quiet.
Lt. Abnett: *looks to either side*
Lt. Abnett: I’m getting bad memories of a certain ambush.
Lt. Abnett: *whew*
Lt. Abnett: Ok. When we take this guy, We're gonna need to be at full... everything, so chug energy drinks, anything you can.
Torrin: Energy drinks?
Lt. Abnett: You know. What do you... potions?
Torrin: Yes, potions. Unfortunately, I have none.
Pvt. Phil: I got that mushroom powder that’s all *frowns*
Torrin: Don't take that near the party, Phil.
Lt. Abnett: Ok, we can't wait any longer.
Lt. Abnett: On three.
Lt. Abnett: One, two -
Lt. Abnett: Three!
Spec. Adrian: *nod*
Lt. Abnett: HOLD!
Lt. Abnett: Fall back!
Fiendish Battle Sorcerer: [Shout] Stop them! Hold them at bay, for the Master!
Fiendish Battle Sorcerer: [Shout] They must not pass!
Lt. Abnett: *whew* Advance!
Fiendish Battle Sorcerer: [Shout] The gate! They are at the gate!
Lt. Abnett: Swords! Swords!
Fire Giant Elite: [Shout] Grrrgh!
Torrin: Now you're mine!
Torrin: //or not
Torrin: Fire arrows.
Lt. Abnett: Salvage everything you can!
Oki: we need healing or supplies
Spec. Adrian: Sir... there is an ugly creature on this room
Lt. Abnett: Can you be a bit more - uh, never mind.
Lt. Abnett: Eesh.
Lt. Abnett: *waves everyone to follow when ready*
Lt. Abnett: On three -
Lt. Abnett: One, two, three.
Oki: gather
Lt. Abnett: Bad guys behind us.
Vulcanos: Where?
Lt. Abnett: Two snake guys. Remember them?
Oki: go go go
Oki: fight
Lt. Abnett: Nice.
Torrin: Oki.
Oki: yes?
Vulcanos: Back to where we were going before, I think
Torrin: Can you examine that powder?
Lt. Abnett: Hey, Aguirre...
Oki: dust of appearance
Lt. Abnett: Over here, man.
Torrin: Ah.
Oki: makes invisible persons appearance
Lt. Abnett: Aguirre?
Torrin: Useful against invisible enemies.
Oki: appear
Pvt. Phil: Double A!
Lt. Abnett: Anyone else seeing this?
Lt. Abnett: *squinting at the skull*
Torrin: Yes.
Oki: Adrian'll have to do it
Pvt. Phil: *guards*
Lt. Abnett: *backs away as the bomb defusal team gets to work*
Lt. Abnett: *points at the carved skull*
Torrin: *rests against the wall*
Pvt. Phil: Errr... we gonna camp here?
Lt. Abnett: ... we'll see about it on the way back. Jeez.
Torrin: No supplies, Phil.
Lt. Abnett: Ok, people, let's keep moving...
Oki: Adrian?
Pvt. Phil: Stairs!
Pvt. Phil: *seems proud of himself*
Torrin: Yes, they are, Phil.
Oki: are we really out of supplies?
Lt. Abnett: Oh yeah.
Pvt. Phil: Sir, we going up, Sir?
Oki: okay
Lt. Abnett: Hold here.
Lt. Abnett: Anyone got any ambrosia?
Torrin: No.
Oki: It's fine, I’m just surprised
Vulcanos: I do have one pack of supplies left, enough to feed us all once. Just once.
Lt. Abnett: ((*belatedly recalls he gave his last piece to Rusty*))
Vulcanos: ... if we survive this.
Lt. Abnett: Ok.
Torrin: We'll need it before we face the other Balor lord.
Lt. Abnett: Optimism. Let's keep that in mind.
*as they go up*
Vulcanos: Adrian, will you scout ahead?
Spec. Adrian: Yes
Oki: [Tell] did you try the cracked skull? If you missed it by one I can play music
Spec. Adrian: [Tell] nope... don't know what you are talking about
Oki: [Tell] there was a treasure... trapped
Spec. Adrian: [Tell] that was when I crashed
Spec. Adrian: [Tell] going back?
Oki: Adrian we'll try the cracked skull again later
Lt. Abnett: This looks like it.
Lord Hezarin: [Shout] SO.
Lt. Abnett: Don't hold back.
Torrin: Yes, I’d say it is.
Spec. Adrian: *Sign of stop*
Lord Hezarin: [Shout] YOU HAVE COME, TO STRIKE ME DOWN, WHILE I AM WEAKENED.
Torrin: Did you expect any less?
Lord Hezarin: [Shout] *laughs* TRULY YOU ARE AKIN DEMONS IN YOUR CUNNING.
Lord Hezarin: [Shout] BUT YOU WILL FIND ME NO EASY PREY.
Lord Hezarin: [Shout] GUARDS! SLAY THEM!
Lt. Abnett: [Shout] That'll teach you to take a guy's essence!
Torrin: Good. It wouldn't be fun if you were.
Lord Hezarin: [Shout] STOP THEM!
Oki: move out of the fire
Oki: move out of the fire
Lord Hezarin: [Shout] NO!! I CAN HELP YOU!
Torrin: die, fiend!
Spec. Adrian: stop
Lord Hezarin: [Shout] SPARE MY LIFE... AND I WILL AID YOU...
Lord Hezarin: [Shout] FINE THEN! DIE!
Lt. Abnett: YES!
Spec. Adrian: what we look for
Lt. Abnett: Wonderful hit!
Lt. Abnett: *happily carves away a slice of essence*
Torrin: *bends down and punches the corpse*
Spec. Adrian: *leans against the wall, exhausted* That was hard
Lt. Abnett: I guess this is what Zurgon wanted. *offers Vulc the amulet for observation*
Oki: *tends to Phil*
Torrin: *falls down, exhausted*
Spec. Adrian: Priest?
Oki: easy does it, Phil
Vulcanos: *examines amulet*
Oki: Sit down, buddy
Pvt. Phil: *shivers*
Torrin: //I'm fine.
Lt. Abnett: Don't give up on us now, Torrin. You've done the impossible... and that makes you mighty.
Spec. Adrian: *try to help Torrin*
Torrin: *waves a hand dismissively* Let me lie here a few moments.
Lt. Abnett: Good man.
Spec. Adrian: *nods and stands up*
Oki: what's wrong with Torrin?
Lt. Abnett: *limps around, securing the area*
Spec. Adrian: Exhausted
Oki: *sits with Phil*
Torrin: We did it, Vulcanos; we killed a Balor Lord...
Vulcanos: Good work, Torrin. It was your courage that allowed us to prevail in the end.
Lt. Abnett: Aguirre - this way.
Oki: you'll be okay Phil
Lt. Abnett: Some kind of side room.
Spec. Adrian: Sir?
Torrin: Yes, but I couldn't have done it without you...
Oki: *strokes his forehead gently*
Vulcanos: Do you need help, or are you just happy to rest there a bit?
Pvt. Phil: *sighs* I have never been so afraid!
Spec. Adrian: trap
Lt. Abnett: Thought so.
Oki: you'll be fine Phil
Torrin: *stands up slowly* Rest is what we all need.
Spec. Adrian: too tough for me... stand aside Sir
Spec. Adrian: *takes a deep breath*
Vulcanos: True. Best we find it where we can.
Lt. Abnett: Careful, Specialist.
Pvt. Phil: *uncomfortably wipes tears from face*
Oki: think of him as a special effect in a movie
Torrin: *arches back* Yes. We may need to use that kit of yours here.
Lt. Abnett: Eesh. Uh... is that it?
Pvt. Phil: *nods stupidly*
Lt. Abnett: *sigh*
Spec. Adrian: No Sir
Vulcanos: Yes, if need be. Let's see how the others are and what we'll be doing next.
Lt. Abnett: We'll look at this again when everyone's done.
Spec. Adrian: *nods*
Torrin: Well, my spells are spent and I have no protections.
Lt. Abnett: *glares at it*
Vulcanos: *smiles back at Torrin* Then we best not get into any battles we can't handle with our bare hands.
Torrin: *snorts*
Oki: just pretend this was a bad dream now that he's dead
Pvt. Phil: *sighs* Okay*looks kindly at Oki* Let’s get movin'
Torrin: What's this?
Pvt. Phil: *rubs burns* That gonna leave a mark
Vulcanos: We are all - not in good shape. Do you want to rest up here, and hope Hezarin's minions do not return for a bit?
Torrin: With their leader dead, another will try to rise to power.
Oki: in this universe, it'll heal up fast, *laughs*
Torrin: //And with ours gone, we won't last long.
Pvt. Phil: //Mann must have grabbed SA on the way out!
General Bones: [Shout] ooc Seems to be a night for the computer gremlins...
Vulcanos: So Oki, about the staff, have you discovered the secret of its use yet?
Oki: what secret?
Lt. Abnett: ((bah! I was heroically Near Death))
Lt. Abnett: Ok, people, stand back.
Oki: I don't feel so good
Vulcanos: How to use its arcane powers in battle?
Lt. Abnett: Dang.
Lt. Abnett: Vulcanos - got any more of that cold powder?
Torrin: Hmm?
Vulcanos: I do
Vulcanos: shall I attempt to break the door?
Lt. Abnett: Any chance you can see if you can freeze this thing?
Pvt. Phil: *stands near Lt to catch him when he falls*
Lt. Abnett: Please. I’m *hoping* There might just be... supplies, or... something that can help us behind there. I’m praying.
Oki: *sits down again feeling faint*
Lt. Abnett: *on adrenalin still - he won't crash yet*
Vulcanos: move away from the door, Lieutenant
Vulcanos: you too, Adrian
Lt. Abnett: Specialist, best move aside.
Spec. Adrian: Yes Sir
General Bones: [Shout] The curtain... screams, as if in pain.
Lt. Abnett: Eeeeesh!
Lt. Abnett: That's... one evil curtain.
Lt. Abnett: Nice job. *looks around*
Lt. Abnett: ... not... what I hoped for...
Torrin: This was probably his private room.
Spec. Adrian: I think we need a key
Lt. Abnett: A key?
Lt. Abnett: Ain't got a key, unless...
Lt. Abnett: Unless his amulet opens it. You remember that chest in the Orc camp? Needed that egg-shaped gem to get it open?
Lt. Abnett: ... or...
Spec. Adrian: the essence?
Lt. Abnett: *looks suspiciously at the stone and the bowl* Or the key's in this room.
Torrin: Try waving the essence over it.
Lt. Abnett: *shakes head*
Lt. Abnett: I’m not giving up on something that could be helpful to us so easily. *looks at the bowl and the stone*
Torrin: Hmm. Stand back, then.
Torrin: Ow.
Lt. Abnett: *wince*
Lt. Abnett: Anything?
*the others have left Oki behind*
Oki: *struggles to get up*
*Oki joins the others in the back room*
Torrin: Fire essence.
Lt. Abnett: *sigh* No shit.
Spec. Adrian: well... at least we have two... to make business even with that big snake
Lt. Abnett: And this one?
Oki: so what'd you want to tell me about this staff, Vulcanos?
Lt. Abnett: *blinks as Aguirre literally leaps aside unharmed*
Vulcanos: *looks towards Oki* Just that there must be some way to use the arcane power locked inside the staff.
Spec. Adrian: Ouch!!
Vulcanos: You just need to find it, Oki.
Lt. Abnett: It just exploded, huh.
Spec. Adrian: nothing
Spec. Adrian: Yes Sir
Lt. Abnett: Well, dammit.
Oki: you just hold it and use it
Lt. Abnett: Last chance - The amulet, Vulcanos?
Vulcanos: Perhaps holding it a certain way, saying a word, or perhaps thinking of the desired outcome
Lt. Abnett: Can we borrow it?
Lt. Abnett: Sorry to interrupt.
Vulcanos: Eh?
Vulcanos: Is the chest trapped?
Torrin: No.
Lt. Abnett: Hezarin's amulet. We think it might open this thing -
Lt. Abnett: And it does!
Lt. Abnett: *rolls his eyes*
Oki: *hands the staff to Vulcanos* you want to try it?
Vulcanos: A treasure trove.
Lt. Abnett: Ok. Now we got that sorted out... we pitch camp here, or we get out of the castle at least?
Spec. Adrian: I think is safest here Sir
Torrin: Probably best to rest here, we're all on our last legs.
Spec. Adrian: Kind of fortress
Pvt. Phil: *looks between LT, Torrin, and Double A trying to stay near each as they all three look like they are about to fall*
Lt. Abnett: Ok. Someone... someone pitch camp, and...
Lt. Abnett: Augh.
Vulcanos: *spreads treasures around on floor*
Lt. Abnett: A flag?
Lt. Abnett: Oh, thank all that's Holy.
Lt. Abnett: Supplies!
Torrin: No resting supplies?
Lt. Abnett: Ok. I'm... I’ll take care of these gems. Consider them our war chest.
Torrin: Oki, perhaps you should take the bandages.
Lt. Abnett: If we ever see another soul who might conceivably buy them, then I’ll see everyone here gets a share.
Oki: did you figure out what that staff does I was using?
Vulcanos: *nods* I’ll hold you to that, Lieutenant.
Vulcanos: Yes, Oki. It has several powers.
Lt. Abnett: That's the spirit, Vulcanos...
Lt. Abnett: *frowns at the Abyssal steel*
Vulcanos: It can be used to cast a vitality spell, a blood frenzy spell, an intellect spell, and...
Torrin: I’ll take that as a trophy.
Lt. Abnett: Ok.
Vulcanos: ... an elemental shield spell.
Vulcanos: I cannot use it - one must be tuned to a special heritage to use it, I believe.
Torrin: *picks up the elemental summoning thingy*
Vulcanos: *smiles at Oki* Perhaps there is a dragon inside you, my lady.
Oki: what do you mean... special heritage?
Lt. Abnett: *puts a campsite together*
Pvt. Phil: *guards door*
Lt. Abnett: *listens to the chat about special heritages, with a raised eyebrow*
Oki: *while around the campfire*
Oki: what do you mean dragon inside me?
Lt. Abnett: Oh, you got to be joking.
Torrin: How can that be, Vulcanos? She isn't of this world.
Pvt. Phil: Halt!
Oki: *suddenly looks to her belly protectively*
Chitzak: So, you da new bosses?
Pvt. Phil: *puts up shield* Lt
Torrin: Yeah, we new bosses.
Chitzak: Lookie like somebody make big mess in da throne room!
Chitzak: Ha ha!
Torrin: You could say that. What do you want?
Chitzak: Just wanna see what happening. Ya know, keep in da knowing.
Lt. Abnett: Don't you owe us some stuff? Or am I confusing you with some other imp?
Torrin: I see. Well, since you're here, do you have anything we can trade for?
Chitzak: You helps me wit' dat stone, now I helps you.
Chitzak: You got da boss's treasure.
Torrin: That we did. We also got rid of da boss for you.
Lt. Abnett: Good. If nothing else, we need the password to get out of here.
Chitzak: Ha! *listens to Joe* He funny. You got da boss's amulet, silly.
Torrin: So you owe us one now.
Oki: *looks at the staff in horror* no, it can't be... I can't have a dragon inside me...
Lt. Abnett: We got the -
Oki: my baby is not a dragon
Chitzak: Sure thing!
Vulcanos: *holds amulet that he has put on*
Lt. Abnett: *looks back at the newswoman-turned-bard, with an odd, odd look*
Vulcanos: This?
Torrin: *looks at Vulcanos*
Chitzak: Hail da new boss!
Torrin: Yes, the slayer of demons.
Lt. Abnett: ... you people deal with this...
Vulcanos: Give me the password, little one!
Lt. Abnett: Oki. Oki?
Chitzak: Ha, me try tell boss, no send all dose giants off, he no listen to me.
Chitzak: What password?
Chitzak: You gots da rock, chief.
Torrin: We can leave whenever, Vul.
Oki: it can't be true
Lt. Abnett: Focus here. Pretty sure if you do have something in there, then... it's not a dragon.
Vulcanos: The password - is there not one required to leave this place?
Lt. Abnett: *though he doesn't look all that convinced. I mean, anything's possible now.*
Chitzak: Ha! You gots rock, no need words.
Vulcanos: Good. Now, what of the fire giants. Have they perished? Do any return here?
Chitzak: Now, anyting I cans do to help wit da new administration, you just lets me know.
Spec. Adrian: Are we the fire giants' boss as well?
Chitzak: Who know? I hear boss day dems 'spendable.
Lt. Abnett: Come on. Let's... let's pick up that staff, and... keep moving. When we get to Camar, we can... get Torrin to take a look at you. Ok?
Torrin: I doubt it, Adrian. Most likely they'll still try to kill us, if only to gain more power.
Chitzak: Hey, I see fire giant down below, he all hacked up and stuff, so me guess, yess, you da boss of dem as well.
Chitzak: Ya, dem giants is stupid.
Oki: *shudders* okay
Torrin: Yeah, not like imps.
Chitzak: Ya!
Spec. Adrian: Excellent... our own small private army
Vulcanos: Good, little one. Tell us if you see any coming up here.
Lt. Abnett: Ok. Keep it together, Oki. Keep it together.
Chitzak: Sure ting, boss!
Torrin: *whistles*
Torrin: *grumbles*
Vulcanos: What be wrong, Torrin?
Torrin: I was hoping that rat with wings had supplies we could get.
Lt. Abnett: We'll be ok, now, I think.
Vulcanos: I doubt many of the local denizens eat food as we know it.
Lt. Abnett: Come on. We need to get to Zurgon and find his essence too, or this is all for naught.
Torrin: True. Well, we have one more obstacle to overcome.
Vulcanos: Let's overcome it. Are you ready to proceed?
Lt. Abnett: It'd be just our luck if he's already dead and gone...
Torrin: As always.
Lt. Abnett: Ok! Let's move out.
Vulcanos: Our luck has not been too bad, truth be told.
Vulcanos: Wait.
Lt. Abnett: Faith moves mountains, man.
Vulcanos: HOLD!
Torrin: *smiles*
Spec. Adrian: What is it?
Lt. Abnett: Wh -
Vulcanos: *fingers amulet*
Oki: that's easy for you to say, you're not carrying Godzookie
Vulcanos: I believe I can ...
Torrin: What?
Spec. Adrian: [Tell] lol... that was good
Vulcanos: *smiles*
Torrin: Godzookie?
Vulcanos: There.
Lt. Abnett: ... oh.
Lt. Abnett: Ha.
Vulcanos: The amulet confers certain powers.
Spec. Adrian: Oh... a express
Pvt. Phil: *blinks looking around dumbfounded*
Torrin: Good work.
Lt. Abnett: Well, ok... guess we'll never know what that weird skull was, but ok. I’m not about to complain.
Vulcanos: Unfortunately, they are limited to the domain of the former demon known as Hezarin
Lt. Abnett: Again, I ain't complaining.
----------------
Spec. Adrian: owwww. Sorry for crashing so much... don't know what happened to my computer
Torrin: Bagged me a demon lord. *buffs fingers*
Lt. Abnett: You know, what made me laugh the most
Spec. Adrian: godzuky?
Torrin: *finger nails
Pvt. Phil: That was a bit close
Lt. Abnett: Was that Hezarin was clearly under the impression that this was some massive double-cross plan on our part
Lt. Abnett: Giving him the essence so he'd weaken himself
Lt. Abnett: When we're just getting by on pure serendipity.
[Lazybones] General Bones: [Shout] Heh, you guys just have demonic instincts.
Spec. Adrian: lol
Lt. Abnett: Woot!
Pvt. Phil: lol
[Lazybones] General Bones: [Shout] What was funny to me was watching H run around smiting everyone while he had 11 hp left.
Torrin: "What a tangled web we weave when we choose to deceive."
Lt. Abnett: I know! That sucked.
Lt. Abnett: Hassen frassen...
Torrin: Yes, well, he fell to the power of faith! (:
Vulcanos: I was wondering about that - did our melee guys all run off and heal at the same time?
Pvt. Phil: Could have used Boomer for sure
Lt. Abnett: *fanfare*
[Lazybones] General Bones: [Shout] Hopefully Rusty will be back next week! Zurgon will be expecting you!
Spec. Adrian: uh ho
Vulcanos: Nice work everyone - I am out next week!
Torrin: Well, I was almost dead and blinded there for a second.
Pvt. Phil: NOOOO
[Lazybones] General Bones: [Shout] No fire magic? Uh oh. . . ;0
Lt. Abnett: Not quite - Phil was dispelled and feared, which was quite clever considering I’d warded Phil against that very thing. Damn demon lords.
Spec. Adrian: I still have arrows
Vulcanos: So hopefully you'll get just up to Zurgon and then --- it will be end of game time... and I can show up the following week...
Pvt. Phil: roflmao no Mage... but we get Boomer
Lt. Abnett: We'll manage - somehow. I mean, every weapon we've got seems to be drippin' fire. 
[Lazybones] General Bones: [Shout] Yeah, the AI pulls a rabbit out of the hat sometimes; I wasn't controlling it.
Torrin: I still have darkfire.
Lt. Abnett: Cool!
Oki: things just pushed too fast with the staff coming into play... and Oki getting seriously wounded and not having the endless supply of healing to cover it
Torrin: And... flame strike.
[Lazybones] General Bones: [Shout] And _two_ essences, with 5 doses each...
Lt. Abnett: Phil has his chopper now.
Oki: too bad rusty missed the revelations
Lt. Abnett: And yes, this essence can add a stupid number amount of flame onto a sword for a while. Anyone remember the lightsaber crystals?
[Lazybones] General Bones: [Shout] Well, you can update him on the forums.
Oki: I was saving the gadzookie joke for everyone
Spec. Adrian: yeap... those were nice
Torrin: Well, that's what happens when you miss a week. Anyways, I’ll cya'll next week.
Lt. Abnett:
Lt. Abnett: Buhbyeeee
[Lazybones] General Bones: [Shout] Good game all... have a good week!
Spec. Adrian: see you GW
Vulcanos: All right, thanks for the game, guys. I’ll see ya in two weeks!
Oki: great game all
Pvt. Phil: very fun cya all
Spec. Adrian: Thank you and night

While the group pauses, Oki considers Vulcanos' words "special heritage" and "dragon inside her" and realizes what this means too...
Her odd sense of humor kicks in as she tries to make sense of this and she pulls out her lute and sings:
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
She pulls the spitting high tension wires down
Helpless people on a subway train
Scream bug-eyed as she looks in on them
She picks up a bus and she throws it back down
As she wades through the buildings toward the center of town
Oh no, they say she's got to go
Go go godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes tokyo
Go go godzilla, yeah
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Rinji news o moshiagemasu!
Godzilla ga ginza hoomen e mukatte imasu!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Daishkyu hinan shite kudasai!
Oh no, they say she's got to go
Go go godzilla, yeah
Oh no, there goes tokyo
Go go godzilla, yeah
History shows again and again
How nature points up the folly of men
Godzilla!
Oki finishes the song and puts away the lute and begins to cry.
----------------------------
ooc: With sincere apologies to the Blue Oyster Cult for changing the words to their true classic song.

As the party rests, Torrin looked about the blasted plain, his eyes seeming far away. He smiles as he hears the first notes of Oki's lute sing in the air, but turns around with an incredelous look as she starts singing. His look turns to one of concern as she begins to cry. He approaches her tentatively and places a hand on her shoulder. "Oki? What's wrong?"

Oki looked up at Torrin, "I don't want me or my baby to turn into monsters and hurt people or even frighten people. It's one of the last things I'd want. We have a strange sense of humor with our myths both ancient and modern. One of our modern folklore is a radioactive monster the size of super-tall buildings with incredible powers you would not comprehend. He frequently ends up rising out of the waters around the city of Tokyo to ward off other incredible monsters, only in the process, they terrorize the city and practically destroy it... the military attacks both monsters usually... somehow everyone in the audience views him as a savior of Tokyo there; but the joke to the rest of the world is that he destroys it in the process. Godzooky is the son of Godzilla in the cartoons and more of a joke to some."

Torrin squeezed Oki's shoulder while starting at her. "I have no idea what you're talking about, Oki. It seems our two cultures are very different indeed. What I do know, is that neither you nor your unborn child will become monsters or frighten people. Especially not ones to rival the size of the denzigns we have defeated in this forsaken realm." He turned to glare at Vulcanos before turning back to Oki and knealing beside her. "What Vulcanos mentioned is called a Red Dragon Disciple, one who has dragon blood somewhere in their ancestory, though I know little of them. How you came to have this, I don't know and I dare say neither does Vulcanos. Perhaps being exposed for so long to our world has changed you and your companions. I have noticed quite a few changes: Joe bears the mark of a holy Paladin, though he would deny it. Adrian walks as a Shadow Dancer - one who is home in the shadows as out. Rusty wields his axe as a Weapon Master, one who is one with their weapon of choice. Phil seems unaffected, though I think his changes aren't readily apparent. As for you, Oki, you have the gift of song and are invaluable for lifting up our spirits. Unfortunanlty, I cannot guide you down this path you walk. Vulcanos may, though even his knowledge may be limited. But, "at this he stared at Vulcanos again, "he should, at the very least, impart all that he knows." He squeezed Oki's arm before standing up.

Oki seemed to calm down with Torrin's touch and words, "Thank you, Torrin. Your words always seem to bring great comfort to me. Your observations seem to be on target, even if your terms are unusual; but, they seem to become easier to adapt to. It's amazing how fast one can adapt to another's culture the more time you spend in it, especially when cut off from external cultures - those one is familiar with." The subject change did much to lighten her stress, "I read studies and interviewed a few... what you'd call sages... that studies cultures both past and present and how people learned when exposed to new cultures. Their theories were quite enlightening. Some said that all cultures had a lot more in common than one would think. It was a radical way of thinking; but, it turned a few heads. I had trouble grasping the meaning."

Vulcanos smiled amiably at Torrin's words. "I am no expert in the ways of dragons, Oki, though some say sorcery itself is a sign of draconic blood. In any case, it is true that manifesting draconic heritage does not necessarily change you as a person, though those in whom draconic blood is strong often do show increased intellect, along with physical powers. So in extreme cases, while others may see you as a fearsome monster, you don't really change all that much inside."
Vulcanos grinned, as if at some private joke. "In most, however, the draconic blood is much diluted, and any physical changes are modest."

Oki was unsure what to say; but, managed this, "Then I'll do my best to retain the essence of my personality and maintain control of myself."

Otherwise I'm inclined to go with 5, but it may require a tweaking of tactics (more hit-and-run, less banzai-smash-ohgod-run-screamsofagony).
It's possible that your imp friend may be looking for you, hopefully he's tracked down some healing supplies.  |

Knowing how you like tpks, LB, I say we skip a week.

I've scheduled a one-shot run of my Shrine of the Eth'barat puzzle module in our usual slot. Any of you are welcome to apply, but I will give preference to new folks. I think I've run SotE about 50 times since I first created it in early 2003; if you haven't had a chance to play it, it's a lot of fun!
If you have run the mod, you're welcome to join as an NPC, but again I'll give preference to new players in the applications. I doubt I'll get enough apps to fill the game in two days, so please apply if you want to play!

On another note, though, I'll have you know that I'm a Brit!  And the banzai-smash-ohgod-run-screamsofagony strategy has been part of our military heritage for almost 1000 years! Such epic defeats as Dunkirk, Isandhlwana and the entire US War of Independence are ingrained upon our cultural memory! So don't worry, guys - feel reassured that you're being led by a man who knows how to lose in style! |

OOC: And no-one even asked why she did that!
***
IC: Standing in the palace of the fallen Demon Lord Hezarin, wearing dirty fatigues, a worn flak-jacket and various bandages old and new, Joe calls everyone's attention.
"I'm proud of you all."
A grin crosses his soot-streaked face. "Damn proud. Soldiers of the US 3rd Infantry, men of Camar, and woman from CNN - today you've shown that there is nothing - not even in the darkest pits of the most horrible places a man can go - nothing that can stand against determined, resolute men fighting for an honest cause. You've stared into the darkness without flinching, and you're walking through, heads high."
"Now I'm gonna have to ask you to walk a little further." The Lieutenant walked up and down the ragged line the party formed before him. "One big bastard's in the bag. Now we're after number two, Zurgon - if he's even still alive. If he is, his forces'll be on alert, but they'll be reeling from Hezarin's assault and now, now we have the weapons and the equipment on our side. The hard part's over!"
"So that's it, one last push, gentlemen! One last charge into the thick of this hell and we can get the hell out! We've taken the worst this place can throw at us and we're still walking! We're still talking! Rock of the Marne, gentlemen! That's who we are!"
And with that defiant cry, Lieutenant Abnett raises his fist aloft and yells out that time-honoured salute, touchstone and battlecry of the US Army soldier:
"Hoo-ah!"
