Slim_Bankshot: I'd better come in here as well, then. Adam_Changeling: so, we're looking for Zelina, an inquisitive Slim_Bankshot: And why is mibbit shoing my an ad for single girls in China? Adam_Changeling: She went missing investigating a silver basilisk statue Igfig: I don't know, but I'm seeing the same thing Adam_Changeling: I'm not seeing that Igfig: anyway Adam_Changeling: "Talked to that one guy, visited a pawn shop with a very lovely lamp in it, went into the silversmith place, learned about kingfishers, got attacked with a smoke bomb, fight happened, didn't go very well." Igfig: okay yeah, not that recap Igfig: to quote from last session's recap [START QUOTE] Igfig: You were given a list of informants and silversmiths and suchlike that she had talked to or was planning to talk to Igfig: and the second one on the list was able to direct you to a much later one on the list Igfig: which was a little odd, considering that the list was in the order Zelina visited them Arwia: Also we stopped at a random shop and looked at some green mold. Arwia: That shop had a lovely lamp. Igfig: and this place, much later on the list, was the first that she had not marked visited on her list. Merric_Tolth: So we learned something she didn't? Igfig: Possibly. That's also a little strange, as she was apparently a pretty good inquisitive. Arwia: Or we learned something that she had learned, but was acting on when she disappeared. Igfig: Indeed, but then there's the question of why she visited all these other places first. Merric_Tolth: Or the list was tampered with Igfig: Yes, or the list was tampered with Igfig: At the silversmith's we found a mold for a kingfisher statue of some sort Arwia: And I remembered seeing a statue of a kingfisher in that one inspector/investigator guy's desk. Igfig: Viktor St. Demain, the top independent inquisitive in the city Merric_Tolth: Also the silversmith was murdered right up Arwia: And then choking gas bomb stuff. [END QUOTE] Adam_Changeling: gotcha, so now we're doing something with the bodies of these guys who attacked us? Igfig: yes, you're doing something with the bodies/unconscious personages of the people who attacked you Adam_Changeling: got it, just needed to get it all in one place so I could take notes and get the facts straight Adam_Changeling: thanks, Ig Igfig: no problem Slim_Bankshot: So my hair looks pretty goo right now, guys Slim_Bankshot: *good Slim_Bankshot: Really matches my goatee Igfig: Looking around a bit more, turns out there're a few other ways to learn necromancy Igfig: the nation of Karrnath uses simple undead for labour and war Igfig: (also that's where the Blood of Vol is most popular) Igfig: outside of Karrnath, necromancy is rather mistrusted Arwia: Well, the reason for my character studying it is... wait, that was for being a shardmind. Arwia: Doesn't really work for being a psiforged. Arwia: Weird. Igfig: What was your reason as a shardmind? Arwia: Figuring out how life stuffs work in relation to shardminds, could be used to help rebuild the gate thing and bring back any shardminds killed by those shardminds who think they have to kill all the shardminds to fix it. Igfig: well, warforged are made in big magical creation forges Igfig: nobody really knows how they work, except maybe some Cannith higher-ups Lakanu: We are magical beings Arwia: So I could be trying to figure out how we work then, is I'm guessing where you're going. Igfig: the forges were all shut down at the end of the Last War, though, when the warforged were emancipated Igfig: yeah, pretty much Arwia: That sounds good. Arwia: Similar end, still knowledge seeking, all fits. Igfig: and maybe make more? shrug Igfig: yeah Arwia: Yeah I suppose with the forges shut down no new warforged are made, and that means they can only decrease in population. Igfig: yup Lakanu: That's awesome for some reason Arwia: What's awesome? Lakanu: The whole warforged, psiforged thing Arwia: Ah I sorta see. Arwia: I'm not familiar with the Speak Dead spell, thing, can the dead guy lie? Igfig: nope Igfig: but he can't elaborate much either Arwia: Ah I see. Igfig: and the number of questions you can ask is limited Igfig: you're almost out of questions, actually vimak: 20 QUESTIONS Arwia: Save me the last question! Arwia: Cause I plan to use it to help us out in dealing with the still living one. Lakanu: I think we're done after this question, so go ahead Arwia: Oh, okay, well if we don't have anything else though then what would we ask the living one? Adam_Human: we should probably kill the living one Arwia: Not much point in threatening him if we don't need anything from him. Igfig: You have two questions after this one Lakanu: I plan on killing him vimak: Guys Lakanu: I'm not leaving an assassin alive vimak: Ask him what the living guys greatest fear is Adam_Human: he won't know anything more than the dead guy, and he is a lot less talking Adam_Human: talkative* Adam_Human: at best, he's dead weight, as worst, he'll blow my cover Arwia: I was planning on asking the dead one how it was to be dead, and then proceed to threaten the living one with having his brother's body kill him. Arwia: I have that spell that does all the flailing and clawing and stuff that didn't work so well last time. Adam_Human: no need for that when I can do it just as well Lakanu: Bit elaborate, I was just gonna shove a spear through his chest Arwia: Yeah, but elaborate is fun sometimes, mostly effective for threat stuffs, which we don't need. vimak: Ask what ht eliving ones greatest fear is Arwia: Still going to ask the dead guy though, research and all that. Adam_Human: we don't need him for anything though, why would he help us? Adam_Human: how would he help us? vimak: He wouldn't. We could just torture him with it Arwia: Nah ask the dead guy about being dead I mean, for my research. vimak: Oh Adam_Human: No need for torture, though Arwia: Torture is both pretty evil and not necessary, yar. vimak: Vimak like torture Adam_Human: he doesn't have a tongue, he literally can't tell us anything Igfig: he does have a tongue Adam_Human: then he's even more of a liability Igfig: Lakanu, you should really look up Dol Arrah on the Compendium Igfig: for one, she's part of a larger pantheon that's generally worshipped as a whole Arwia: And I suppose I should go with Aureon then instead of Ioun, who is in the same group. Lakanu: Hmm, the sovereign host Lakanu: Interesting vimak: You'd think that Goliath's would be large instead of medium\ Igfig: it'd mess up the game something fierce Slim_Bankshot: Sorry I ducked out for a minute. reinstalled New Vegas today and I just finished installing my mods. Had to make sure it was all in working order Slim_Bankshot: Never would have goot this far without HoEs help. Mad props. Slim_Bankshot: *got Lakanu: Are you still doing that let's play? Slim_Bankshot: I'd like to. Slim_Bankshot: I TECHNICALLY have that file Slim_Bankshot: But it's on a salvaged hard drive Slim_Bankshot: That I don't have access to Slim_Bankshot: Also it's 8 GB, so I need a decent sized drive to move it vimak: Woah what vimak: How is your save file 8 gigs vimak: That's literally impossible Slim_Bankshot: Is it REALLY? Slim_Bankshot: Well, maybe not. But whatever it was it was big Slim_Bankshot: Maybe that was all my files? I don't know Slim_Bankshot: There's a computer repair guy in town who may be able to help vimak: It had to be all your files vimak: Because 8 gigs is literally impossible for a save file vimak: 20 megs is pushing it for a save file Slim_Bankshot: OK fine Slim_Bankshot: I just need to figure out how to single out the file, then Arwia: Yeah in the paragon tier there is a shardmind racial feat that extends the telepathy range to 15 squares/75 feet when you're not bloodied. Adam_Disguise: Ig, maybe there could be an event that breaks my stealth, she sees me, and it turns into a chase? Adam_Disguise: then again, I'm disguised as a different person, she wouldn't recognize me anyway Adam_Disguise: hmm Adam_Disguise: Adam is /really/ good at his job Arwia: I just realized a problem... how are me and Vimak going to find you guys? Adam_Disguise: That is a good question Arwia: Psi-forged mental link thing? Lakanu: Just stay at the marketplace Slim_Bankshot: WILL SHE DIE BEFORE YOU CAN GET ANSWERS?! Lakanu quit. Igfig quit. Arwia left #pwot_dnd2.
