He brought along A-dom’s armor and weapon, but didn’t bother to tell A-dom this. Jahar then spent the next month or so secreted within the hold of the ship, reading. No one noticed him. Clearly he had learned <em>Vanish from Mind’s Eye</em> or something.</p><p></p><p>Jahar woke up on the ship and heard rain outside. He found the ship was parked offshore from an island where it was pouring rain. He found a couple canoes missing, but not all of them.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Skelly, where did they go?</em></p><p></p><p>*<em>Skelly points</em>*</p><p></p><p>Jahar looked to land to see if he could see any people. He saw the canoes, but no people.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Skelly, do you know how to row?</em></p><p></p><p>*<em>Skelly nods</em>*</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Skelly, if you row me to shore, could you row back to the boat?</em></p><p></p><p>*<em>Skelly shrugs</em>*</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Skelly, go get your bucket?</em></p><p></p><p>He grabbed A-dom’s club and armor and waited for Skelly. When Skelly returned with his barrel, they put it in the canoe and rowed to shore. Once there, Jahar had Skelly get in his barrel and closed the lid. When he heard the clicking of Skelly twiddling his thumbs, Jahar told him to be quiet. Skelly twiddled his thumbs slower.</p><p></p><p>Jahar walked through town and found a black smear on the ground. It was kind of slimy and dusty and reminded him of when Jade’s Luck ashes a body, but gooier. He found shoddy houses with nice roofs.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Gareth has been here.</em></p><p></p><p>The tavern still had mugs on tables, partially filled with water. Behind the bar, he found a stack where there used to be kegs, but only one remained.</p><p></p><p>Eventually, he found the burial ground, where there were thirty freshly dug graves.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> (shakes head)<em> A-dom…</em></p><p></p><p>He found the only path leading inland, which was somewhat recently plowed up by travel. He followed the path for two miles, then got bored. He called upon immense power and unseen forces to turn himself into a flock of swallows and flew up. He found that he was in a densely packed jungle, there were two volcanoes and a lot of clouds and it was incredibly rainy.</p><p></p><p>Jahar then looked around a little to try and find the path he was on. When he thought he had found it, he landed and reformed into Jahar. He had the leather armor wrapped around the club and dragged the tip of the club in the mud behind him.</p><p></p><p>While walking along, a whole bunch of vines lashed out and grabbed hold of him. He dropped the club and armor and unsuccessfully tried to get away. As the vines dragged him towards a large flower, he drew his sword and pitifully swiped at vines. As he was dragged towards the flower, it leaned forward and spewed pollen at him. Jahar held his breath. He freed himself and slammed into the ground. As more vines came at him, he fled into the jungle.</p><p></p><p>He was now completely off the path, but he was moving faster now that he didn’t have the extra weight. Jahar wandered around the jungle trying to find the path again. He managed to not step on the giant centipede. In an effort to get a feel for the essence flows of the island, he pulled out his thing on a string and it went horizontal. Jahar went in that direction.</p><p></p><p>Unfortunately, Jahar wasn’t doing a good job of paying attention to his surroundings today. One second, he was walking along and the next second he was inside something. He was pretty sure his legs were outside of whatever he was in and it was trying to bite him off at the abdomen. It was doing a decent job of that, too. He slashed at the plant till it dropped him, then ran away. When he stopped, he noticed he was near another of those plants, but this one came pre-cut up. Through investigation, he found it had been done in one swipe and was done with a poisoned sword.</p><p></p><p>In a ‘restful’ spot, Jahar now flared up his anima to scare away the plants and make himself visible to the rest of the circle (unfortunately, they were inside a building at this time). He then made himself really loud.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> (shouting)<em> I wouldn’t mind a bit of help here.</em></p><p></p><p>Within the building, both A-dom and Gareth heard Jahar.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong><em> Damn it, it’s Jahar. He’s probably deep inside a plant by now.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> (shouting)<em> These plants keep attacking me.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em> I suppose we should go get him.</em></p><p></p><p>The two of them discussed A-dom’s chances of being able to get out and back in and what the gargoyle would like to do to him.</p><p></p><p><strong>Gargoyle:</strong> <em> I can hear you, you know.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>So, would you prefer that I get him out or that he just starved to death in here?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gargoyle:</strong> <em> Get him out of here.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong><em> I’m going to come back, you know.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gargoyle:</strong> <em>Then I can stab you again.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em> No, you really can’t. You’ll just be stabbing me. And is there really a point to that?</em></p><p></p><p>*<em>Gargoyle makes sounds like he is sharpening his spear</em>*</p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong><em> You’re a grumpy golem.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em> Gargoyle</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong><em> Gargoyle. Whatever.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em> Don’t annoy him more.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Do you have a name?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gargoyle:</strong> <em>Course I have a name. Idiot.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Nice to meet you, Idiot. </em> (to Gareth) <em> Shall we go rescue city boy?</em></p><p></p><p>The two exited.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> (to the Gargoyle) <em>Thanks for letting us out. We’ll be back in a few minutes, Idiot. </em> </p><p></p><p>*<em>Eight hands flip A-dom off</em>*</p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>You just have to provoke, don’t you?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>That’s his name. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>No, its not. He was calling you an idiot and you know it. </em> (to Gargoyle) <em> What’s your name?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gargoyle:</strong> <em>Ralph </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> (shouting)<em>Still waiting.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Maybe we should go back to the town first. Just to be sure. </em></p><p></p><p>It wasn’t hard to spot Jahar. He was a huge bonfire about twenty feet off the path, forty feet from the building. A-dom flared his anima at him.</p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> (yelling) <em>Why the hell did you go off the path, you idiot? </em></p><p></p><p>Jahar started walking in their direction.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Don’t you have a rock on a stick? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>It’s a string and mine is in the middle of a plant now. Oh yeah, your club and armor are back on the path. I couldn’t find the path again, so…</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>At least it is on the path and not in the middle of the jungle, never to be seen again. </em></p><p></p><p>Jahar was whiny about being hurt while he investigated Ralph. Eventually, an eye opened up, then closed again.</p><p></p><p><strong>Ralph:</strong> <em>Oh great, another one. </em></p><p></p><p>Jahar wasn’t on the list. Neither was Lightbringer, surprisingly.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>How did you get here? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>Took a boat. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>I have a stone on a string. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>How the hell did you get one of those? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>I made it.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>You’ve been listening to me too much. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>I figured it out. When you asked me for the virgin’s hair. And the crystal… We built a really big hut.</em></p><p></p><p>Jahar decided he’d rather investigate the garden he was in. He noticed it was a binding circle with a lot of sod and grass.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Is this thing keeping you here? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ralph:</strong> <em>No. Of course not. I’m a gargoyle. </em></p><p></p><p>He asked what was in the circle. Ralph said that there used to be a wood elemental in there, but he got let out. The dark guys decided it would be funny to stick a demon in there instead. Jahar asked if the demon had a name. Ralph said the demon didn’t. Then Ralph whacked the ground with his spear. An eyestalk came out of the ground and looked around.</p><p></p><p><strong>Ralph:</strong> <em>Do you have a name? </em></p><p></p><p>*<em>Eyestalk shakes</em>*</p><p></p><p><strong>Ralph:</strong> <em>See. No name. </em></p><p></p><p>Jahar inspected the circle and talked about destroying the demon sometime. The forest moved closer, as if to protect the circle.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>What dark guys? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Oh, there are some of those guys here.. uh. Death lords.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>Death knights.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Yeah. Them. We killed the porpoise. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Oh. And A-dom. Why did you kill all those people in the town?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>That wasn’t me! That was the porpoise. He yelled really loud. Everyone got hurt. The rest of them pretty much died except the old lady inside.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Do you want to go get your club? As I think Gareth wants to go inside and the forest getting closer is starting to scare me a little.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>I vote for club. </em></p><p></p><p>Jahar was whiny some more about being hurt. Gareth used Touch of Blissful Release. Jahar felt better and was his usual spacey self. Maybe a bit more so.</p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>I’ve been medicating the old lady too. She likes it.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Old lady?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>We rescued an old lady. She apparently, actually, I don’t know why she didn’t die.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>She is definitely worthy of exaltation.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Well, if she exalts, we can have her first. (long pause) for our society.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>So, how’d you find us anyway? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Skelly told me.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>He talked? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>He tipped his hat and pointed.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Ah. Good. Cause, if he started talking, I’d be freaked. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>He’s on the beach. (pause) In his bucket. I needed to get to land somehow.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>You don’t know how to row? Do you know how to follow a path? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>I did follow the path. Plants chased me off it.</em></p><p></p><p>Gareth went back inside and told Tiger they were going to go get A-dom’s stuff off the path. Then the trio spent over a day wandering back up the path. </p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Why is it raining here? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>The Water Elemental makes the rain.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Do I get to meet him? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>If you want. You’ll have to go down to the circle to talk to him now. Jade’s Luck made him go back in. But, anyway, we’re here cause Tiger wanted a manse. They briefly discussed killing your father, but we didn’t know how you’d feel about that.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>I’ve been looking for a manse for months. How did you find one? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>A-dom has a rock on a string. It’s a really good rock on a string. Hoen-ba island.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>It led you here from there? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Yeah. It’s a really good rock on a string. Maybe you wrapped yours wrong.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>He did a lot better than Jade’s Luck. She decided she didn’t want to cut off her own hair, so she just tied it into her hair.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Jade’s Luck is a virgin? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>She is a whore reject, my friend.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>It works. Nowhere near as well as A-dom’s. It started working about forty feet from the building. (pause) So, we came here. Oh, and Hoen-ba-ba-den now has a really nice hut. We needed the crystals and she had them, so I bartered with her and she wanted a new hut. So I made her a nice little hut. It has a koi pond, rock garden, waterfall, two levels, fireplace, guestrooms.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Monkey butler.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>No. No monkey. She’d have to go find one of those. But it looked really nice. She gave us two crystals for it. Oh, we’ve got three followers now. She’s a little young, but she’ll grow into it.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>And what were you giving our followers?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>Oh, yeah. We actually came up with part of the religion. It revolves around candy.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>I’m not too sure about that one. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Thank you. </em></p><p></p><p>*<em>Gareth hands Jahar a piece of candy. Jahar doesn’t take it</em>*</p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>The Unconquered Sun rewards good worshippers with candy.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em> The Unconquered Sun rewards good worshippers with NO RAIN!</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>We’re working on that.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Yeah, see, I’m worried the children are going to come back very round and the parents are going to get upset and then we won’t have ANY followers. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em> I’m surprised you wouldn’t just kill the parents.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>Don’t give him any ideas. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>That doesn’t sound very religiously. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Did Jade’s Luck try to kill you yet?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>That’s a daily thing. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong> <em>You know how those two are. Bicker. Bicker. Bicker. Jade’s Luck is convinced they were sisters in a former life. She didn’t like it when I reminded her she was naughty sometimes.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Yeah. Apparently, when I was a little girl, she was all evil and stuff. </em></p><p></p><p>A-dom asked Jahar about what his wife knew about him and such. Jahar didn’t know.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong> <em>Oh. By the way. There is a series of plants with vines near your club.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-dom:</strong> <em>Oh. okay. </em></p><p></p><p>When they got to where Jahar thought he dropped the club, it didn’t look the same. Jahar cast his spell again and turned into a flock of sparrows. He found a separate path nearby that he thought was where the club was. A-dom flared to let Jahar know where to land. He landed and reformed as Jahar.</p><p></p><p>After being told where the path was, Gareth drew his sword and told them to stay a bit behind him. He took out his sword and flared into a bonfire. The runes on his sword jumped off the sword and danced around, cutting up all the plant life around him. Lots of salad. He then walked through the forest at A-dom and Jahar’s directions. It took them several hours, but they eventually found the other path. A bit later, they found the club and armor. Vines tried to grab him, but they were quickly chopped up too.</p><p></p><p>A-dom did a little ‘I found my stuff’ dance.</p></blockquote><p></p>

Neither was Lightbringer, surprisingly. [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]How did you get here? [/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]Took a boat. [/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]I have a stone on a string. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]How the hell did you get one of those? [/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]I made it.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]You’ve been listening to me too much. [/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]I figured it out. When you asked me for the virgin’s hair. And the crystal… We built a really big hut.[/i] Jahar decided he’d rather investigate the garden he was in. He noticed it was a binding circle with a lot of sod and grass. [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Is this thing keeping you here? [/i] [b]Ralph:[/b] [i]No. Of course not. I’m a gargoyle. [/i] He asked what was in the circle. Ralph said that there used to be a wood elemental in there, but he got let out. The dark guys decided it would be funny to stick a demon in there instead. Jahar asked if the demon had a name. Ralph said the demon didn’t. Then Ralph whacked the ground with his spear. An eyestalk came out of the ground and looked around. [b]Ralph:[/b] [i]Do you have a name? [/i] *[i]Eyestalk shakes[/i]* [b]Ralph:[/b] [i]See. No name. [/i] Jahar inspected the circle and talked about destroying the demon sometime. The forest moved closer, as if to protect the circle. [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]What dark guys? [/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]Oh, there are some of those guys here.. uh. Death lords.[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]Death knights.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]Yeah. Them. We killed the porpoise. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Oh. And A-dom. Why did you kill all those people in the town?[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]That wasn’t me! That was the porpoise. He yelled really loud. Everyone got hurt. The rest of them pretty much died except the old lady inside.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Do you want to go get your club? As I think Gareth wants to go inside and the forest getting closer is starting to scare me a little.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]I vote for club. [/i] Jahar was whiny some more about being hurt. Gareth used Touch of Blissful Release. Jahar felt better and was his usual spacey self. Maybe a bit more so. [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]I’ve been medicating the old lady too. She likes it.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Old lady?[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]We rescued an old lady. She apparently, actually, I don’t know why she didn’t die.[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]She is definitely worthy of exaltation.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Well, if she exalts, we can have her first. (long pause) for our society.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]So, how’d you find us anyway? [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Skelly told me.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]He talked? [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]He tipped his hat and pointed.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]Ah. Good. Cause, if he started talking, I’d be freaked. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]He’s on the beach. (pause) In his bucket. I needed to get to land somehow.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]You don’t know how to row? Do you know how to follow a path? [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]I did follow the path. Plants chased me off it.[/i] Gareth went back inside and told Tiger they were going to go get A-dom’s stuff off the path. Then the trio spent over a day wandering back up the path. [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Why is it raining here? [/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]The Water Elemental makes the rain.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Do I get to meet him? [/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]If you want. You’ll have to go down to the circle to talk to him now. Jade’s Luck made him go back in. But, anyway, we’re here cause Tiger wanted a manse. They briefly discussed killing your father, but we didn’t know how you’d feel about that.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]I’ve been looking for a manse for months. How did you find one? [/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]A-dom has a rock on a string. It’s a really good rock on a string. Hoen-ba island.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]It led you here from there? [/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]Yeah. It’s a really good rock on a string. Maybe you wrapped yours wrong.[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]He did a lot better than Jade’s Luck. She decided she didn’t want to cut off her own hair, so she just tied it into her hair.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Jade’s Luck is a virgin? [/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]She is a whore reject, my friend.[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]It works. Nowhere near as well as A-dom’s. It started working about forty feet from the building. (pause) So, we came here. Oh, and Hoen-ba-ba-den now has a really nice hut. We needed the crystals and she had them, so I bartered with her and she wanted a new hut. So I made her a nice little hut. It has a koi pond, rock garden, waterfall, two levels, fireplace, guestrooms.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]Monkey butler.[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]No. No monkey. She’d have to go find one of those. But it looked really nice. She gave us two crystals for it. Oh, we’ve got three followers now. She’s a little young, but she’ll grow into it.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]And what were you giving our followers?[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]Oh, yeah. We actually came up with part of the religion. It revolves around candy.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]I’m not too sure about that one. [/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]Thank you. [/i] *[i]Gareth hands Jahar a piece of candy. Jahar doesn’t take it[/i]* [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]The Unconquered Sun rewards good worshippers with candy.[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i] The Unconquered Sun rewards good worshippers with NO RAIN![/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]We’re working on that.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]Yeah, see, I’m worried the children are going to come back very round and the parents are going to get upset and then we won’t have ANY followers. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i] I’m surprised you wouldn’t just kill the parents.[/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]Don’t give him any ideas. [/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]That doesn’t sound very religiously. [/i] [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Did Jade’s Luck try to kill you yet?[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]That’s a daily thing. [/i] [b]Gareth:[/b] [i]You know how those two are. Bicker. Bicker. Bicker. Jade’s Luck is convinced they were sisters in a former life. She didn’t like it when I reminded her she was naughty sometimes.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]Yeah. Apparently, when I was a little girl, she was all evil and stuff. [/i] A-dom asked Jahar about what his wife knew about him and such. Jahar didn’t know. [b]Jahar:[/b] [i]Oh. By the way. There is a series of plants with vines near your club.[/i] [b]A-dom:[/b] [i]Oh. okay. [/i] When they got to where Jahar thought he dropped the club, it didn’t look the same. Jahar cast his spell again and turned into a flock of sparrows. He found a separate path nearby that he thought was where the club was. A-dom flared to let Jahar know where to land. He landed and reformed as Jahar. After being told where the path was, Gareth drew his sword and told them to stay a bit behind him. He took out his sword and flared into a bonfire. The runes on his sword jumped off the sword and danced around, cutting up all the plant life around him. Lots of salad. He then walked through the forest at A-dom and Jahar’s directions. It took them several hours, but they eventually found the other path. A bit later, they found the club and armor. Vines tried to grab him, but they were quickly chopped up too. A-dom did a little ‘I found my stuff’ dance. [/QUOTE]
