BOB: OK ,mike
BOB: and Kaz is tryign to get Guy in here right?
kethkat: yes, he's working on it
BOB: For John and those who went throught
BOB: Wrapped in a dizzying swirl of incandescent colors and unfamiliar sounds, you find yourselves dumped suddenly on a strange, barren desert plain. Your calm and peace of mind is broken by the realization that nothing about your surroundings is familiar in any way. Grains of purple dust bite at your exposed flesh and choke your already labored breathing. An oppressive, broiling sun burns down on an endless sea of sand, and no features other than vast rolling dunes are within sight.
chonny316: i can help
chonny316: just give me his log in
kethkat: FlamestrikeAZ
BOB: john DellaDevine is for Beth
chonny316: compensating?
kethkat: ?
chonny316: verry macho name
BOB: LOL at John
flamestrikeaz: l o
kethkat: l o
aurora1116: :: waves :: Hey there Guy
mkul316: back
kethkat: f u n e x?
aurora1116: <--- Lorie
BOB: John can you reinvite Mike please
mkul316: hey guy
flamestrikeaz: hiya
BOB: there we go
mkul316: congrats on the baby
BOB: LOL
kethkat: Didn't the multi-chats used to have a list of who was in the room?
BOB: yes they did i think it is a function of how John set up the room
BOB: and Beth should be in shortly now also
chonny316: that option is not checked
delladevine: ah hah
BOB: and there we go
chonny316: do you not see a scroll bar at the top?
delladevine: typing !1 did the trick
aurora1116: no scrollbar John
mkul316: congrats on the baby!
BOB: so we have Kylia and Kit and Ant and Val and Kira all together
delladevine: baby?
BOB: Mike thinks this is a shotgun wedding
chonny316: Kit left, Kyla did not want to here from her
BOB: that you are preggers
mkul316: i heard you two were having a baby
delladevine: LOL I have no where to carry a baby except in my arms, and I don't plan to carry a test tube for 9 months
aurora1116: :: shoos them :: excuse me, trying to clean here. We're going to need space...
chonny316: that would be a big test tube
delladevine: heheheheh
BOB: so back to the game, in character
BOB: Val, Ant, Kira with Kylia
mkul316: "Kylia, you are going to do nothing to find everyone else?"
aurora1116: :: looks up :: I know where they are...
aurora1116: :: resumes her work ::
delladevine: "What are we going to do about these dreams?"
delladevine: "This is getting exhausting"
aurora1116: :: looks at her :: Ignore them. Magic that comes to you in your sleep to try and compel you to do something can't ever be good
mkul316: "Then if you know where they are, let's go there."
aurora1116: :: holds up a bow :: Look... Finglas left this
aurora1116: :: furrows brow :: Ummm, why would I want to do that?
mkul316: that would be at greenborough...
mkul316: he doesn't lseep there
mkul316: "Because they we are supposed to be a group."
delladevine: What if these dreams don't stop? What if they keep going night after night after night for weeks, months or years?
aurora1116: we are supposed to be a group... I didn't see them wait for us
aurora1116: :: shakes head ::
delladevine: Why didn't they wait for us, by the way?
aurora1116: :: shrugs :: ask them in your next dream
aurora1116: I'm sure they'll be happy to explain
delladevine: If there were anyone else in my dream I would. All I get is a gate and a voice that is insistant.
mkul316: "Fin said he was going through. I stayed back in case something like this happened."
aurora1116: :: looks out window to sun :: well, I need to go meditate, then back to cleaning. If my deity needed to me to be there, I would
delladevine: ::holds head in hands::
mkul316: "What happened to you. You've become such a disappointment."
mkul316: "We'll go to gone and see if Kit has the pool stone."
aurora1116: :: laughs ::
delladevine: ::flinches slightly and looks at Kylia::
BOB: ok
BOB: so leaving Kylia alone
BOB: the rest gather together? do what?
BOB: Kit?
chonny316: I think she would seach gon and see Paul's things grab a few essentials and go back to Memorial dungeon to use the teleporter
mkul316: "Kit, why not use the pool?"
BOB: The teleporter or the pool?
mkul316: "Can't we find FIn or Paul and jump throgh?"
BOB: the pool looks for locations, not people
chonny316: I trust a teleported, and that
kethkat: Can't it find the place from the vision?
chonny316: sword, crystal, belt pouch, clothes
mkul316: "Then let's go. I"ll gather FIn's things."
chonny316: use the pool for that if you want
BOB: you can try using the vision
delladevine: I'm really leery of that
chonny316: Trust me the teleoprter is way cool, don;t even have to get wet
chonny316: you would look good wet
chonny316: but then again, it is a tight fit in the teleporter room
delladevine: Visions are things to be leery of. You just don't know where they'll take you.
BOB: the teleporter room
BOB: is 10 * 10
BOB: and it works from the outside
mkul316: "I always look good."
BOB: not the inside
delladevine: So someone has to operate it and someone else goes?
BOB: yes
chonny316: that is not how it worked years ago
BOB: yes it is
BOB: there are silver balls on the wall
mkul316: that's what the dwarves are for
BOB: that you have to touch to make it work
mkul316: and brass balls inside?
BOB: you have typically used the dwarves,
aurora1116: ((So out of curosity, how is it that Kit has come to have such intimate knowledge of the dungeon?))
BOB: Kit has been living there
BOB: for the past year or so
aurora1116: in Kylia's dungeon?
BOB: nods
aurora1116: without Kylia's permission
BOB: nods
BOB: Paul put her there
mkul316: psh. it's about as much kylia's as the moon is
aurora1116: :: grins :: excellent just the opportunity she's been waiting for
aurora1116: :: waves deed ::
aurora1116: where's yours?
chonny316: you looking for Paul?
mkul316: yeah, but she pays zero attention to it
mkul316: hence the fact that kit lived in it for a year without her knowing
aurora1116: ((Techincally Lorie knows but not Kylia and the Dragonslayers haven't exactly been around ))
mkul316: oh, we've been around. ;-)
BOB: so who is trooping off to the Memorial Dungeon?
chonny316: Kit
mkul316: ant and val i guess
BOB: Kira?
delladevine: I'm hesitant to go without Kylia
mkul316: ::coughwhippedcough::
chonny316: we can give her direction
delladevine: ::coughcautiouscough::
delladevine: I like staying alive. But, we're not getting anywhere this way, either
BOB: chuckles
aurora1116: :: Meditates in the courtyard ::
BOB: we are moving along
BOB: considering the venue we are making excellent progress
BOB: I knwo that Kylia is NOT going
kethkat: (and hey, if anyone wants to bring some stuff along for anyone aside from Fin, that would be appreciated, I'm sure)
BOB: is Kira staying with Kylia? or going with Ant Kit and Val?
delladevine: Staying with Kylia. At least that way there's someone to come rescue them
BOB: ok, so the other three are using the teleporter to go to the place of the vision?
delladevine: ::heads off to my room::
chonny316: I was told it would take me to Paul
aurora1116: <Wilson> :: makes mental notes of who is where to his best ability ::
delladevine: Where I will not be sleeping much if I can help it lol
aurora1116: <Wilson> :: paces the keep, a lot ::
BOB: so John and Mike you are at teh teleporter,
delladevine: ::sharpens knives, does any needed repairs to gear::
BOB: what are you taking with you?
BOB: and where?
BOB: (Kaz and Guy I am ready for your side of things (along with John and Mike's other characters) in just a moment
kethkat: ok
chonny316: Kit is taking clother, the crystal, a belt pouch with basic components. She asked to be sent to where Paul is
chonny316: and the sword
BOB: up to three people can squeeze in
BOB: if you don't take a ton of stuff with you
mkul316: ant and val are carrying all of fin's stuff.
mkul316: plus agua
BOB: ok
chonny316: not the giant eagle please
aurora1116: ((You're taking a Grocery Store??))
mkul316: and we'll grab moirra's stuff since they can assume she's with fin and paul
BOB: so the dwarf knows who Paul is
BOB: but when he tries to teleport you to "Paul" it fails
BOB: does not go anywhere
BOB: could be a block like the Underdark
chonny316: you two stay there, hold Paul's stuff
BOB: do you want to teleport to the place in the vision then?
chonny316: Kit gets out and concentrats on the vision, if you do not mind Mike
BOB: do you mean that Kit is not going to try and go?
BOB: she is outside sending the other two?
kethkat: Either that or she can get Kira, perhaps
chonny316: did the dwarf have the same vision
chonny316: do I trust the dwarf
BOB: the dwarf did not have the same vision
chonny316: so I would rather try myself to get them there
BOB: Kylia, Kira and Wilson are the three that have had the vision that could send you
chonny316: if it doesn;t work then plan c
chonny316: but they are not here now
BOB: true
chonny316: we are at this moment now
BOB: ok
BOB: so Kit concentrates
BOB: and **BLINK**
BOB: they are gone
BOB: Ant and Val
chonny316: good travles
BOB: what of Kit now?
chonny316: tries and take a name with some clother and her bracers on
chonny316: writes a note to lady lulia
BOB: ok
BOB: waiting to hear where Kit goes
chonny316: if the dream comes, she will go
BOB: so she sends the two of them away
BOB: then waits till the night to come?
chonny316: she gets ready and lays down, as I said, to try and rest wth clothes on
BOB: ok
chonny316: if and when the dream comes
BOB: ok
BOB: so on the third night
BOB: no vision
BOB: Kira and Kylia and Kit all sleep thorugh with no problems
lilangel062582: hi... had a little time to drop in...
BOB: no more visions
delladevine: Sweet!
kethkat: Hey Vicki
delladevine: Hiya, Vicki
BOB: ok
BOB: and so on Day Four Kit, Kira and Kylia are all there
chonny316: respectivly
chonny316: i try and teleport a note to Paul
BOB: does not go
BOB: For Val and Ant - Wrapped in a dizzying swirl of incandescent colors and unfamiliar sounds, you find yourselves dumped suddenly on a strange, barren desert plain. Your calm and peace of mind is broken by the realization that nothing about your surroundings is familiar in any way. Grains of purple dust bite at your exposed flesh and choke your already labored breathing. An oppressive, broiling sun burns down on an endless sea of sand, and no features other than vast rolling dunes are within sight.
chonny316: i will try agin tomorrow
BOB: we don't want to go too far in the future with that John
chonny316: i know
chonny316: i will teleport my note to Kylia, tellher what I did
BOB: Val and Ant - your mind races, you see all sorts of images and visions in the glare of the desert sun, but as you draw closer you realize that an oasis sits amid the dunes, welcoming you. Beyond the oasis, a taunting, strangely familiar vision wavers in the distance.
BOB: Val and Ant - When you arrive at the oasis, you are met by a group of dark-skinned humans whose shared mirth is interrupted as they move to assist you.
BOB: Val and Ant - The clear, cool water of a large bubbling pool is an ideal antidote for your dust-caked tongues. The liquid hail an odd but pleasing taste, and you find your vitality returning as you drink your fill. After you are refreshed, a tall, broad man approaches you, a warm smile and open hands contradicting the scimitar thrust through his sash. His speech is a rough, guttural form of central Common, blurred by an unfamiliar accent.
BOB: Val and Ant - "You are obviously strangers here, for no one wanders the plains of Raurin on foot and hopes to live to see the dawn of a new day. You must be robust souls, indeed. But by the god-kings, you look like you have the plague about you! A good meal should take care of that well enough. If you plan treachery-which would be a most unwise decision, I assure you-be on your way. Otherwise, you are welcome at our fire-pit.
BOB: Val and Ant - he looks at the two of you carefully
BOB: Looking at Antaria and Val
mkul316: okay... is this the same place as before?
BOB: (only one way to find out)
mkul316: do we see anyone we recognize?
BOB: no
mkul316: well, i guess they say hi and get the lay of the land
BOB: bows, I am Sarim, son of Palim and father of many:'
fritzlemoine@embarqmail.com: Am I in?
chonny316: woot

lilangel062582: hi Fritz

mkul316: "We are looking for our companions."

BOB: did you lose them in the desert?
mkul316: "They came here in their dreams."
BOB: they look at each other, in their dreams?

mkul316: "No. LIke magic. An elf and two humans."
mkul316: "They were transported here."
BOB: and Elf?
mkul316: "We used a magic spell."

BOB: he looks at his fellow bedoins, we have not seen any elves in these parts for many years
BOB: and why two humans?
BOB: and you are an elf and a dwarf
BOB: or a something
mkul316: "Yes. An elf..."
BOB: he looks at the two of you
mkul316: "And dwarf..."
BOB: you do look strange
mkul316: ::sighs:: "We have complicated parentages."
BOB: but I have not been in teh sun that long
mkul316: "I am half dragon as well."
BOB: ahh I have a troubled family as well
BOB: my brother akhul was an adventurer who venturing into a forbidden temple
BOB: places where men should not go
mkul316: "I see. Did he survive?"
BOB: no, he went mad when he finally found his way out
mkul316: "I'm sorry."
BOB: oh there are some haunted ruins out there but no man can long survie the perisl fo the desert out there the serpent god's curses batterd teh land, with horrible disastrous consequences for us a desert split by a barrier of ice that never melts
BOB: my brother akhul sought the temples mysteries,
mkul316: "We are searching for a big pyramid like temple."
BOB: e returned a blind and babbling idiot
BOB: his face a mass of blisters
mkul316: "We have seen it in dreams. A pharoh who once ruled the land."
BOB: nightmares plagued his days and nights he took his own life, an example to those who taunt the gods
BOB: he points to teh southeast whenyou ask for the temple
BOB: there across the lands of ice
mkul316: "Lands of ice?"
mkul316: "I wish Kit didn't mess up the teleport."
mkul316: "Now we need to find Fin and then find our way home."
BOB: Ok, and &&&&&&
BOB: so we have Ant and Val there
BOB: now to move to the other group, we have Finglas, Moirra, Liam, Rave and Paul
BOB: you are all in your bed clothes
BOB: no armor no weapons, no magic items

fritzlemoine@embarqmail.com: (Is Finglas a blbling idiot yet?) [22:34] BOB: no rings
delladevine: (chuckles))
chonny316: please go one
BOB: Moirra has her holy symbol and Finglas has his amulet
lilangel062582: ((That's gotta bite))
chonny316: typical BOB
BOB: your mind races, you see all sorts of images and visions in the glare of the desert sun, but as you draw closer you realize that an oasis sits amid the dunes, welcoming you. Beyond the oasis, a taunting, strangely familiar vision wavers in the distance.
[BOB] When you arrive at the oasis, you are met by a group of dark-skinned humans whose shared mirth is interrupted as they move to assist you.
[BOB] The clear, cool water of a large bubbling pool is an ideal antidote for your dust-caked tongues.
