So the lines are not accurate to exactly what people said. But I think I got the general jist of what was going on. The very end of the fight, was recorded.</em></p><p></p><p>The group spent a lot of time discussing how to get control of the island away from the demons without upsetting the villagers. Many different plans were put forth and rejected and they (the PCs) were all very witty, except Jahar, who mostly confused people.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom eventually got bored and decided to go talk to Chief Uk-Fuju. </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong>:<em> Hi Uk-Dad. I don’t really know what’s going on, on this island, with who is in charge of what. Could you explain it to me?</em></p><p></p><p>Uk-Fuju explained that he was chief of the entire island, and that his cousin, and son were the chiefs of the other towns. The other chiefs pay tribute to him. </p><p></p><p>This led to the discussion that A-Dom’s brother in law, was the uncle and step-brother of Uk-Steve (A-Dom’s son with Uk-Fuju) making A-Dom’s brother in law also his nephew. Which also made A-Dom’s wife (Uk-Yuz), his niece and step-daughter (it’s mildly confusing). Uk-Steve is also A-Dom’s son, and brother in law. Currently the line of succession for who will be chief when (should Uk-Fuju die)... is really confusing.</p><p></p><p>This conversation led to Uk-Fuju explaining that his son, Chuck-Chuck, was made using his other pinky toe and a leopard. Uk-Fuju said it was between a leopard and a dinosaur, but he figured his son would have a better time with the ladies if he was fuzzy not scaly.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong><em> There are Dinosaurs on this island? I so would have chosen a dinosaur if I’d known that. No offense. But I mean, dinosaur child! That’s just too nifty.</em></p><p></p><p>A-Dom eventually asked Uk-Fuju what happened to all the old Wise women. He found out that all the original old wise women, involved in the demon summoning had died. There were currently two wise women (just not so old) on the island, one at each village.</p><p></p><p>So Uk-Fuju took A-Dom to see the dinosaurs, which it turn out were down inside a cave, which was the majority of the interior space of the island.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (to Uk-Dad):<em> It’s very important that you don’t let any of the dinosaurs out. They are holding up the island.</em></p><p></p><p>Uk-Fuju was very confused by this.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom then tried to explain that demons were bad. [A-Dom double botched.] So A-Dom, due to some translation errors told Uk-Fuju something along the lines of“The Great Old Ones are very great, but are you sure they are the best Great Old Ones you can get? Maybe there are some better ones, maybe we can get you more? You deserve the very best and most powerful great old ones possible.”</p><p></p><p>After realizing his errors, A-Dom simply told Uk-Fuju that he had to speak with Jahar, as he could help summon more powerful Demons for them.</p><p></p><p>The rest of the group was still discussing strategy.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck:</strong><em> Boy this would be a lot easier if we could... make everybody go to sleep for two days, while we kill the demons. Then we could explain it to them when they wake up. Got a spell for that sorcery boy? You know, make everybody on the island go to sleep?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Well I could summon a demon to make everyone on the island go to sleep.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck:</strong><em> No! No summoning demons to help with the problem of too many summoned demons.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Well I really can’t help you then.</em></p><p></p><p>The group then had a meeting to discuss what they knew about demons, and what their problem was going to be with getting rid of them. They concluded that their real problem was the demons dematerializing and just walking away. As the group can’t affect dematerialized spirits. </p><p></p><p>So the best way to deal with the demons and prevent escape, would to be trap them in a warded area. Then fight them inside that area. However the problem was getting the demon inside a warded area in the first place. The idea of warding the entire island, was determined to be impractical. </p><p></p><p>A-Dom took Uk-Fuju to see Jahar.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong> (in Uk Luk Muk Muk Chuck):<em> Ah, chief, we need to speak alone, with me, you, A-Dom and Tiger, all in your hut.</em></p><p></p><p>Uk-Fuju is really confused by the idea of being alone with 3 strange men to have a talk. Especially when one of them didn’t even speak his language.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong> (in Uk Luk Muk Muk Chuck):<em> What I need to say can not be said here. Out under the open sky. It is not for the sun to hear.</em></p><p></p><p>Uk-Fuju and A-Dom both look confused.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong> (paraphrased cause I can’t remember his exact words):<em> Maybe if I explain it backwards using more complicated and longer words...</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck</strong> (interupting Jahar, and starting to speak in Uk Luk Muk Muk Chuck):<em> Would you like some Tea chief? I’ll have someone send some tea to your hut so you can all have a nice relaxing talk. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Uk-Fuju</strong> (eyes glazed over):<em> Yes, that would be nice.</em></p><p></p><p>They got to the hut, they were brought tea. After all the servants and women folk left, Jahar nodded A-Dom towards the door. A-Dom blocked the door assuming something bad was about to happen.</p><p></p><p>Jahar started casting a spell. Uk-Fuju freaked out, Tiger restrained him and held him in place. </p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Chief Uk-Fuju is magically forced to believe that statement to be the complete and utter truth.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom then lead the group off to show them the dinosaurs. The found the well like area that led into the cave and looked in upon the vast area, and the small sun glowing inside the center of it. Jahar, Tiger, and Jade’s Luck were all using Spirit Detecting Glance, and could see the sun was a sun spirit. So they started yelling down to the sun who was several hundred feet away, and in the center of a gigantic cave taking up the interior space of the island.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Hello there. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Sun Spirit</strong> (Yelling back up at them):<em> Hello!</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong><em> Do the dinosaurs hold up the island?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Sun Spirit:</strong><em> What? That’s just stupid. </em></p><p></p><p>Jahar then explained why A-Dom thought this, because of the island held up by bugs.</p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong><em> What’s your name? Are you related to the Unconquered Sun?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Sun Spirit:</strong><em> Uk-Sun. I’m the Unconquered Sun’s great, great, great Nephew.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar</strong> (to Gareth):<em> You can’t see or hear him can you?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Gareth:</strong><em> No but I bet he just answered my question.</em></p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck then translated for everyone who could hear or see the spirit. She continued to do so for the rest of the conversation.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Do you see any demons down there?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Uk-Sun</strong> (after looking around a bit):<em> Yes, that slimy one is down here. In the swamp. Oozing around.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Oh good. We want to destroy the demons one at a time. So we were hoping to trap him in there with a warding circle. Would that bother you, do you go in and out?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Uk-Sun:</strong><em> No I don’t move much.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Say, could you give us a signal? Like make light come out of the hole if the slimy demon leaves the swamp?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Uk-Sun:</strong><em> I suppose. </em>(Looks around a little)<em> Well after he comes back.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> What do you mean?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Uk-Sun:</strong><em> Well he left when you started talking about destroying the demons one at a time... You see there is quite an echo down here when people at the top yell into this gigantic cave.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Alex:</strong><em> Well, we managed to go a full session before monumentally screwing up. I think we need a ‘we haven’t screwed up in x number of sessions’ board.</em></p><p></p><p>There was then a brief ‘argument’ bout how Jahar thought the demons had already known we wanted to kill them. The subject was dropped.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> How does the slime demon get in and out?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Uk-Sun:</strong><em> Well the water gets into the swamp somehow... So there must be a way in and out.</em></p><p></p><p>The group then decided to continue heading towards the other village while they sent Ceri off to look for the 8 armed Ape demon. </p><p></p><p>The Group finally decides to ambush the Ape Demon just outside of the second town. So they have A-Dom clear an area, then Gareth built a pit (think a ring or a circular trench). Then A-dom wanders off (we’ll deal with that in a minute). Then Jahar built a binding circle inside the pit, out of branches of trees and rocks, leaving off a few pieces so it would not affect the demon until finished. They then covered it over with dirt, so it could not be disrupted.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom went off to town to make friendly. He found the leader of the town, Chuck-Chuck, who was a Leopard-Beastman created using flesh from the Chieftain Uk-Fuju and a Leopard. Chuck-Chuck and A-Dom got along pretty well. As Chuck-Chuck warmed up to him [and as A-Dom purchased more Presence instantly, as it’s one of his favored abilities, so he could get Chuck-Chuck to like him]. A-Dom managed to get some information about how the local power structure was set up. He also managed to point out that it might be possible for Chuck-Chuck to have offspring with things other then humans. A-Dom also promised to trade a Monkey to Chuck-Chuck for a dinosaur (since Chuck-Chuck had never seen a monkey, and A-Dom told him monkeys make the best ninja...). </p><p></p><p>Eventually A-Dom got back to the group. They put A-Dom and Jade’s Luck inside the circle, with Gareth and Tiger hiding in trees nearby, and Jahar hiding behind some bushes, in place to finish the circle. They then had Jade’s Luck bleed into a pot of water, which they put over a small fire. As they were using the smell of virgin blood to attract the demon, but they didn’t know how long it would take. Jade’s Luck decided to lie down to look more weak and helpless.</p><p></p><p>The 8 armed Ape Demon showed up rather more promptly then they expected. He swung in from the trees and landed just outside the edge of the binding circle.</p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> (In Old Realm) <em> You want to fight me chicken boy?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ape</strong> (barley able to speak Old Realm in a guttural voice):<em> For her blood? </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck:</strong> (In Old Realm) <em> Hey! He has no right to my blood.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ape</strong> (Sad and Confused in Old Realm):<em> Oh...just here for the blood. You want to fight me for your blood?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck:</strong> (In Old Realm) <em>No! I’m all weak and helpless. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ape:</strong> (In Old Realm) <em> Maybe you should get a champion</em> (looks at A-Dom) <em>and if I beat champion, I get your blood. </em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck:</strong> (In Old Realm) <em> That doesn’t make any sense at all.</em></p><p></p><p>The 8 armed Demon Ape became completely confused by being drawn to a fight... then not having anyone who wanted to fight him.</p><p></p><p><strong>Ape</strong> (To A-Dom (In Old Realm)):<em> You too weak and cowardly to fight me anyway. Stand no chance against me in single combat.</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom:</strong> (In Old Realm) <em>That’s it! I accept!</em> *A-Dom makes his club appear*</p><p></p><p>So the Ape launched at him, and grappled him with all his arms, and took A-Dom along with him as he flew through the air. As this was happening Jahar lunged in and finished the binding circle. So the Demon Ape hit the far side of the binding circle like it was a brick wall... but unfortunately for A-Dom, he kept his grip on A-Dom. So it was much like A-Dom hitting a wall as well.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom decided to Monkey Leap strait up, and slam the Ape into the ground on the way down. Unfortunatly, the Ape did not agree with him, and A-Dom managed to be the one who hit the ground in the worse possition, still pinned by the Ape. The ape then started to crush A-Dom.</p><p></p><p>At about this time, everyone else decided to join the one on one combat. The Ape then decided to Bite A-Dom, on the neck, which was very... not good for A-Dom. </p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong><em> I’m at -4, I’m still standing!</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Dan:</strong><em> You’re not so much standing, as you are being held up.</em></p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck hit the demon with Castigating Solar Judgment "Die Foul Demon of Darkness" for a stupid amount of Aggravated Damage, twice. Then Tiger hit the horribly wounded Ape, cutting it in half... and knocking A-Dom incapacitated. Tiger then grabbed A-Dom and make sure he didn’t accidentally get his throat torn out as he and the Demon Ape corpse fell to the ground.</p><p></p><p><strong>Alex:</strong> <em>Gareth will hop down and give him a “touch.”</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Ryan:</strong><em> Dude! *pause* Help! I need an adult!</em></p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (while Unconscious):<em> Err... I clot!</em></p><p></p><p>Gareth then used Touch of Blissful Release on A-Dom. </p><p></p><p>Jahar then went over to poke at the demon, to learn from it. Jade’s Luck then walked over.</p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck:</strong> <em>Are you done?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> Have you ever seen such a wonderful specimen?</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck:</strong><em> Probably in half a second.</em> *zorch* (Jade’s luck turns the body to ash)</p><p></p><p><strong>Jahar:</strong><em> I’m sure it had useful parts...</em></p><p></p><p><strong>Jade’s Luck:</strong><em> You can study the pile of ash.</em> <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> </p><p></p><p><strong>A-Dom</strong> (still unconcious)<em> Stupid monkey. </em></p></blockquote><p></p>

[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck:[/b] (In Old Realm) [i] That doesn’t make any sense at all.[/i] The 8 armed Demon Ape became completely confused by being drawn to a fight... then not having anyone who wanted to fight him. [b]Ape[/b] (To A-Dom (In Old Realm)):[i] You too weak and cowardly to fight me anyway. Stand no chance against me in single combat.[/i] [b]A-Dom:[/b] (In Old Realm) [i]That’s it! I accept![/i] *A-Dom makes his club appear* So the Ape launched at him, and grappled him with all his arms, and took A-Dom along with him as he flew through the air. As this was happening Jahar lunged in and finished the binding circle. So the Demon Ape hit the far side of the binding circle like it was a brick wall... but unfortunately for A-Dom, he kept his grip on A-Dom. So it was much like A-Dom hitting a wall as well. A-Dom decided to Monkey Leap strait up, and slam the Ape into the ground on the way down. Unfortunatly, the Ape did not agree with him, and A-Dom managed to be the one who hit the ground in the worse possition, still pinned by the Ape. The ape then started to crush A-Dom. At about this time, everyone else decided to join the one on one combat. The Ape then decided to Bite A-Dom, on the neck, which was very... not good for A-Dom. [b]Ryan:[/b][i] I’m at -4, I’m still standing![/i] [b]Dan:[/b][i] You’re not so much standing, as you are being held up.[/i] Jade’s Luck hit the demon with Castigating Solar Judgment "Die Foul Demon of Darkness" for a stupid amount of Aggravated Damage, twice. Then Tiger hit the horribly wounded Ape, cutting it in half... and knocking A-Dom incapacitated. Tiger then grabbed A-Dom and make sure he didn’t accidentally get his throat torn out as he and the Demon Ape corpse fell to the ground. [b]Alex:[/b] [i]Gareth will hop down and give him a “touch.”[/i] [b]Ryan:[/b][i] Dude! *pause* Help! I need an adult![/i] [b]A-Dom[/b] (while Unconscious):[i] Err... I clot![/i] Gareth then used Touch of Blissful Release on A-Dom. Jahar then went over to poke at the demon, to learn from it. Jade’s Luck then walked over. [b]Jade’s Luck:[/b] [i]Are you done?[/i] [b]Jahar:[/b][i] Have you ever seen such a wonderful specimen?[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck:[/b][i] Probably in half a second.[/i] *zorch* (Jade’s luck turns the body to ash) [b]Jahar:[/b][i] I’m sure it had useful parts...[/i] [b]Jade’s Luck:[/b][i] You can study the pile of ash.[/i] :) [b]A-Dom[/b] (still unconcious)[i] Stupid monkey.
