Shining Force RPG session 9 Text version <Narrator> ===== SESSION START ===== <Narrator> The Shining Force RPG watches as Jeyer runs away from Darksol, who is trying to fry his sorry ass * Indigo looks at the scene without interest. <Jeyer> WHA..? <Indigo> *dead montone* Oh, I suppose we should go to sleep now. * Jeyer slams into a tree! * Baine blinks at Jeyer :P <Jeyer> ACK! <Baine> Jeyer?! O_o <Lara> ouch...that had to hurt. * Baine runs towards Jeyer! "Move, you idiot!" * Darksol aims a bolt at Jeyer and lets it fly * Kodah stands slowly and with anger * Jeyer blinks and tackles Baine away from the blast! * Indigo idly summons Dao to smash DarkSol. <Baine> O_o <Baine> Damnit! Jeyer!!! <Jeyer> Uh... Hi there, sexy... :P * Jeyer gets up and throws a shuriken at Darksol! * Baine leaps up and draws AmeShi. * Lara places her left hand to the inside of her right fist. "Sword of my soul,"she exclaims,"APPEAR!" Lara then pulls her hand from her fist as the mystic blade appears in her right hand. * Indigo walks forward blindly, and swings her power staff like a baseball bat at DarkSol's head. * Darksol shrugs off Dao's attack, and the shuriken bounces off of him * Yogurt digs in pouch for some ring or other * Kodah watches the scene, his teeth clenched very tightly * Baine grabs Jeyer by the sleeve and tugs him away <Baine> C'mon! * Darksol blocks the staff with a mere thought, then grabs Indigo by the head. * Jeyer gets pulled by the sleeve... O_o * Baine stops and looks at Darksol. "Shit...Indigo.." * Darksol is suddenly blasted away by an unseen force, slamming him HARD into a nearby tree. <Lara> oh great. * Indigo stares deadly at Darksol and kicks him between the legs hard to shatter what's there. * Flamestrike assaults Darksol * Baine keeps a death grip on Jeyer's sleeve :P * Yogurt comes up with a ring, looks at it, decides it's the wrong one, and continues digging * Lara leaps high into the air..she dives at Darksol, driving her blade down on his head. <Flamestrike> LEAVE HER BE!!! <Baine> O_o * Kodah looks at Darksol and growls lowly <Lara> hmmm? <Flamestrike> ??? <Baine> Shiiiiit * Chamolo walks back to the scene, grim faced, then blinks. "What the-" <Baine> Someone fucked his ass UP * Indigo looks over at DarkSol blankly. * Flamestrike catches the falling Indigo and lets her be <Lara> what the fuck just happened? * Darksol gets up and blinks. <Yogurt> Wasn't me... <Darksol> She is.. <Indigo> A kick between the legs could not do that. <Flamestrike> HA! It's Mitula! I bet on it! * Baine hugs Jeyer as if he were a big teddy bear :P <Darksol> Jeyer... This isn't over... I shall get you yet... <Baine> Get lost, Darksol! * Chamolo just blinks. * Erin remains watching the situation from a short distance... * * Flamestrike taunts Darksol "Oooooh! You FEAR her, don't you, son of a bitch?" * Jeyer glares at Darksol as he dissapears... <Lara> damn, Kara....you've not been yourself all day. What's up? * Darksol dissapears in a whisp of smoke... * Baine glances at Lara. * Yogurt aha's and holds up a ring! * Jeyer sighs and slumps to the ground.. * Indigo just looks at the group deadly. <Chamolo> Sir Jeyer...you're alive? * Kodah turns away from the Shining Force and walks away * Yogurt then notices Darksol is gone, sighs, and puts the ring back in the pouch * Flamestrike just looks at Indigo and exclaims "Oh, Shit!" <Jeyer> I... I'm fine.. <Jeyer> Just tired.. * Baine looks somewhere between shocked and relieved * Jeyer looks up at Baine, smiles and passes out.. <Baine> O_o * Flamestrike picks up Jeyer rather roughly and carries him to the inn <Narrator> ===== Cut Scene! ===== <Narrator> Darksol returns to his troops... <Narrator> Dorak awaits him there... * Darksol gets rid of his minions, growls and teleports back to his lair... * Dorak blinks and follows... * Dorak enters the lair, Darksol looking through spell books frantically! <Darksol> Where IS that spell??? <Dorak> My liege..? * Darksol turns to Dorak, glares at him and says, "That sorceress... She has something I need..." * Dorak stands there, totally confused... * Darksol turns back to his books, grinning to himself... <Narrator> ===== end cut scene! ===== <Narrator> A few hours have passed, Chamolo and Kodah away from the team... * Lara is sitting on the front steps of the inn... * Jeyer wakes up slowly... * Baine is beside Jeyer, looking pensive. <Flamestrike> Welcome back into the living, Jeyerk <Baine> *mutter* stupid stupid stupid male....ugh.... * Jeyer turns to FlameStrike, groans and looks at Baine... * Erin is quietly reading... * <Indigo> Oh, you awaken... * Baine pokes Jeyer in the nose. "'Bout time." * Jeyer streches... You try dodging lightning for 2 hours, then come tell me you aren't tired... :p * Baine offers Jeyer a cup of water and eyes him. <Baine> You took alot worse during training, you know. :P * Indigo sits on the bed, looking at the door with eeriely detached eyes. * Jeyer takes the cup eagerly and drinks big gulps... <Jeyer> It's my old age that's catching up with me... *grins at her* <Indigo> *dead voice* Indigo had a mother and a father. One night, Indigo's not-so- better-half took over. Indigo entered her parents room with a butcher knife. She slit her mother's body in 147 different places. With her father, she sliced apart his extremities inch-by-inch, then made him beg her to die. I feel I should tell you how dangerous she is in her cruel personality. * Baine laughs softly and punches Jeyer gently in the arm. <Baine> Nah. I think love is makin' you soft. * Jeyer glances over to Indigo... O_o <Lara> hehehe..... * Baine doesn't seem to notice Indigo :P * Jeyer turns back to Baine... Uh... Yeah... Prolly... *looks back at Indigo with a puzzled look* * Vankarin ignores the Shining Force, doing his own thing... <Baine> Jeyer? Uhm.. * Indigo folds in on herself, curling up into a ball. * Jeyer shakes his head and turns back to Baine... Yeah? * Lara walks over to Vankarin. "You look lost in thought. What's on your mind?" <Baine> ....are you leaving again? * Yogurt tries to organize his rings... is failing miserably :P <Vankarin> I'm thinking of your destiny... <Lara> I was thinking of that a bit too.... <Jeyer> I don't know, Baine.. * FlameStrike looks at Indigo and puts a hand-claw on her shoulder <FlameStrike> "You all right, girl?" * Baine glances at the ground. <Baine> *mumbles something* * Yogurt holds up a silver ring with a black gem on it... "Can't remember what this one does... oh well..." * Indigo looks up at FlameStrike, her eyes absolutely dead and her skin pale. * Erin turns a page, and continues to casually read... * * Jeyer looks at her... I personally think it would be best... <Lara> s'kinda funny. I never thought just a simple demon hunter would wind up the leader of the Shining force. <Baine> personally, huh? <Baine> Yeah...whatevers best.. <Indigo> *dead voice* She is....she will be returned to her previous state... <Vankarin> And I never thought I'd be by the Shining Force's side ag.... n/m... <Lara> oh well.... <Jeyer> Do you want me to stay, Baine? * Baine lets out a loud laugh and eyes Jeyer. "Would you believe me if I said I don't know?" * Jeyer nods... I would, actually... You were never the one to know what you wanted...... <Indigo> *dead voice* I must go now.... * Yogurt gives up at length and throws all the rings back in his pouch * Baine's eyes darken. "Yeah....never know what I want.." * Vankarin wonders where Chamolo is off to... <Lara> come to think of it...Where are Chamolo and Kodah? <Lara> I'll go find them. <Vankarin> They both have alot on their minds... * Baine runs a hand through her hair and yanks on it a bit.. * Lara walks out to find Chammy and Kodah. <Vankarin> I'd leave them alone.. * Indigo shrieks a bloodcurdling shriek, seizures, then slumps. When she stands up, she seems her normal, self, twirling. * Vankarin grumbles as Lara leaves... But hey... That's just me... :P <Indigo> Oh hi everyone! Where are we? * Baine leans back and lies on the ground, eyes squeezed shut and thinking. * Jeyer glances at Indigo... * Jeyer gets up, moves to the window groggily and looks outside... <Indigo> The last thing I remember....the inn at Yeel....then something ripped into my mind....and now I'm here. <Yogurt> Hi Indigo ^_^ <Indigo> Hello Yogurt. * Baine growls lowly. * Lara walks around town, looking for Kodah and Chamolo * Indigo simply faints. * Yogurt waddles away from Baine "I don't like grumpy people..." <FlameStrike> Uhmmm... well, you were pale and dead-looking for a while and you said... no, better not * Baine sits up and mutters. "I need a shower." * Jeyer thinks, "I wonder if I can join her... :p * Baine takes off her tunic, tosses it at the back of Jeyer's head and walks into the bathroom, shutting the door quickly. :P <Baine> * The sound of water running is heard. :P * Indigo twitches and sits up. <FlameStrike> Uhmmm... i need a shower too, nowth * Jeyer thinks, "Damn :P" <FlameStrike> now that i think of it * Baine yells.

My life was a dream, and a darn nice one too. Now I'm stuck in a freaking nightmare.... * Lara walks back to the room. "Probably not much...those two were pretty much plastered" * Baine patpats Cham. "You think I have a nice body, eh?" ;) <Vankarin> Kodah... We can get your sister back...

I'm a devil Vankarin! Technically I'm your enemy * Baine laughs a bit <Yogurt> oh well... I think I have an anti-nausea ring around here somewhere... you want to borrow it? <FlameStrike> That's the right word. "Technically" <Vankarin> What lineage of devil did you inherit from? <Chamolo> YES PLEASE! <Chamolo> Oh...and do you have an anti-headache ring too? <Baine> Poor Cham.. ^_^ * Yogurt kigs around in his pouch for a bit... <FlameStrike> Don't think all dragon are good... <Baine> Did I mention you almost got Jeyer to slug you, too Cham? <Chamolo> My head is gonna split open... <Kodah> (glumly)My father is a devil, who served Creed over a thousand years ago.... <Chamolo> Oh great... * Yogurt comes up with two rings and hands them to Chamolo "These should do it" <Chamolo> I'm so sorry, Miss Baine...... * Erin quietly goes back to her reading... * <Vankarin> For your information, Creed worked with the Shining Force... <Chamolo> * More lovely sounds come from the bathroom. <Baine> Ugh. :P <Kodah> Or so we've been told...... * Chamolo staggers out... <Baine> Chamolo, maybe you should lie down again. :P <Vankarin> I know that for a fact... I've spoken to Creed... <Chamolo> Good idea... * Chamolo plops down on the bed. * Kodah looks at Vankarin, "You've what?" * Baine picks up Cham's glasses and gently hands them to him. "And please, no more Miss Baine.

You were sloshed." <Vankarin> I've met Creed... He came to Guardiana once to update our logs of the Shining Force's history... <Kodah> .... <Chamolo> Yeah.... <Baine> Be glad I wasn't the drunk one...you probably would've seen me table dancing... * Lara does a double take..."You're from Guardiana too?" <Chamolo> Table Dancing?! O_o * Baine nods. ^_^ <Baine> Nude too :P <Baine> Its happened before.. :P <Chamolo> Nude....happened before?!

Coincidence? <Yogurt> I gave you that anti-nausea ring... or was it the laxative ring? I can't tell them apart... * Chamolo O_o * Baine sighs gently and looks at Kodah and Van. * Chamolo rushes off to the bathroom. <Lara> well, I happen to be a friend of the royal family...that's what I meant, Vankarin. <Vankarin> So you know Prince BlackHawk... <Lara> that I do...we met about 4 years ago. * Chamolo comes out and looks...well...dead... <Lara> I've been back several times since then.... * Kodah looks at Vankarin, "So....does this mean.....I'm not evil?" <Baine> Cham....uhm.. * Chamolo then facefalls on the bed. * Vankarin nods... I'm not surprised, really...

Ah to define sanity... * Yogurt finds some of his food to be cold... so he pulls out the trusty ol' fire ring ^_^ * Baine feels a bit light headed and goes cross eyed. :P <FlameStrike> There's no sanity or insanity in this world...
