But it will make it faster, for the next time this happens.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck tries to find out how the locals worship the unconquered sun, without revealing that the group has no organized religion. They worship the great sun in the sky (which they have never seen).

I don’t think the others will like it if we start chopping them up.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: No, we each get half, and then we can each populate one island with them.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Can I have the Women?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: I think that will kind of keep the population of my island down.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: But I want an island that is just full of my babies.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: I don’t think the rest of the world wants that.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Can we fix your wyld mutations first please, before you try to impregnate half of creation?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (to Jade’s Luck): You better hurry up on that then. (A-Dom winks and grins at the most recent woman he’s impregnated.)</p><p></p><p>Bianca asks the religious leaders to tell her about her past self. The details were a little fuzzy after a thousand years other then Pathfinder was a great leader who said ‘I’ll be right back.’ Just before swimming out.</p><p></p><p>[5 minutes of game, didn’t actually happen.]</p><p></p><p>A-Dom feels a chill go down his back.</p><p></p><p>Alex: I want that... it’s #32 on the list. Wait, now it’s #28 on the list.</p><p></p><p>The group decides that they should take turns standing on the deck of the ship and glowing. To get people use to sunlight. Also to reassure the crew of their ship. Eventually Fatty has a conversation with Jade’s Luck.</p><p></p><p>Fatty: I hate to bother you, but we are pretty sure we are missing somebody.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Really who?</p><p></p><p>Fatty: One of the crew members. Everybody knows he was here before we got swallowed. But we can’t find him now.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: What did he look like.</p><p></p><p>Fatty: Well he was this short-tall guy who...</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck (with contempt): Oh, one of those. Fatty, people who are short and tall are special...</p><p></p><p>Fatty: Well he seemed so normal when he was here.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Yea, well you should tell us when there has been someone like that around.</p><p></p><p>Fatty: Oh, ok. We’ll I just told you.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Thank you.</p><p></p><p>Fatty: And we’ll let you know in the future, when we notice.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: I owe you a beer at some point.</p><p></p><p>Fatty: We’d like to get paid at some point.</p><p></p><p>Gareth and Jade’s Luck get into an argument about who should be paying the ex-pirate crew. It appears as though Jade’s Luck will be paying them from now on. There are two non-pirate crew members, who do actually get paid on a regular basis by Gareth. They don’t like to talk about that with the rest of the crew.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck mentions to everyone that a short-tall guy is missing. This confuses Bianca. Jade’s Luck sums up for her.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (to Bianca): While we are overwhelming you with information. (A-Dom drops his disguise charm) This what I really look like.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: This is why you don’t want to go into the wyld without that</p><p>charm.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: The Wyld is Awesome! Hey, have you ever considered having kids?</p><p></p><p>Bianca (with great conviction): NO!</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck starts explaining what the Sun looks like. Gareth decides to take Jahars good from the hold of the ship, to make big hats and berkas for everyone of the whale people.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Worship him with adverted reverence! Where a hat!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Don’t look at god!</p><p></p><p>Gareth whacks A-Dom on the head. Jade’s Luck starts walking up to A-Dom and whacking him at random.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Hey, don’t do that. I’ll impregnate more! Not... that I’ve started.</p><p></p><p>During the month, Gareth builds a boat out of the best parts of the island. This plan is explained in great detail to the locals, before Gareth starts ripping apart their homes.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: I want to test to see what activating my sword will do next to a wall.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: If you give it digestion, and it cramps up, all the mortals are going to be crushed, and we will be the only survivors.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: That’s what Gareth’s boat is for.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Oh man, if we get this thing to puke we are going to end up in the North. I just know it.</p><p></p><p>The ship: Whale Puke. Is basically a water tight arc with a rudder. It has no propulsion system (no oars, no sails, no masts etc). It’s passenger space is crowded (the ship is nothing but passenger space for the 250 locals), but well padded. There are also seat belts for everyone.</p><p></p><p>A great deal of math is then done to figure out how long it will take to build.</p><p></p><p>Dan: Get this to work before I start killing people. (If there are less people, the ship doesn’t need to be as big, and it will go faster.)</p><p></p><p>Liz: You know we are pro-life bible thumpers. Oh the irony.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom decides to pray during that month. His primary prayer is: ‘How we doing’?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Tiger start talking more about dividing up the people. Gareth points out that they should wait and see how many survive.</p><p></p><p>Bianca is mildly confused by Gareth building the arc, as he is using Craftsman Needs No Tools. So he’s doing all of the construction bare handed.</p><p></p><p>It takes Gareth 20 days to build the Arc. It is very nice on the inside. There are nameplates for every seat. Each seat is perfectly fitted for each person. There are also hidden symbols of the Unconquered Sun (and castes). ‘It’s like a little game for them to play while they are inside.’ He also adds little dioramas that are things the group did. Not all good.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom goes around explaining to people that they all need to pray real hard to the Unconquered Sun, and if you die, it’s because you didn’t pray hard enough. Jade’s Luck tries to minimize the damage A-Dom is doing.</p><p></p><p>Gareth officially names the ship: Whale Puke.</p><p></p><p>Gareth, A-Dom and Bianca are on Whale Puke. Jade’s Luck and Tiger are on the Grumpy Craftsman. The masts of the Grumpy Craftsman are taken down, so they don’t get stuck on anything or break off. Jade’s Luck tells the pirate crew to secure everything and get ready to hold on.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: The Plan: If it works, we go out the front. If it fails, we go out the back.</p><p></p><p>Gareth starts swimming towards the wall of the stomach.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: This is going to have an effect. I don’t know what kind, but it will have an effect.</p><p></p><p>Gareth activates his sword, as the magic shards start flying around him the area around him starts to bubble and froth. Some slime starts coming down the wall to cover the hole, but Gareth keeps moving along next to the wall. Gareth starts giggling.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: We’re going out the front!</p><p></p><p>The wall of the stomach starts to convulse in and out towards Gareth. It starts spazaming. The water in the stomach starts to slosh back and forth. Gareth monkey-leaps off the wall, to land on Whale Puke, turning his sword off while flying there. However, Gareth mistimed his jump, and the ship when sliding out from underneath him. A-Dom pointed and laughed.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (Yelling to Gareth): You Missed!</p><p></p><p>Gareth sees Whale Puke sliding back towards him, and jumps off a confused shark to land on the deck of Whale Puke.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Welcome Aboard Admiral!</p><p></p><p>Both ships start rushing towards the throat out. Everyone realizes they are about to both hit the narrow part at the same point in time. Tiger manages to stear the Grumpy Craftsman ahead of Whale Puke (while Gareth manages to slow whale puke). They both go shooting up the throat at a tremendous speed.</p><p></p><p>*bwoosh*</p><p></p><p>Both of the ships are puked out and up into the air. High in the air. Very High.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom realizes (from his perspective high in the air) that they are much further west then they had been previously. That they are being puked even further into the west. Ie: Into the wyld. He sees the pink ocean below them, as they are falling into a pure wyld zone.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (to Gareth): Here their be monsters, Sir! (A-Dom activates Integrity Protecting Prana)</p><p></p><p>Gareth: <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />, I didn’t save enough essence for that.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Welcome to the Tentacle Club Sir!</p><p></p><p>Tiger and Jade’s Luck realize they are flying and about to hit something hard soon. And island. Actually a floating island of plants. Tiger and Jade’s Luck activate integrity protecting prana.</p><p></p><p>Whale Puke missed the flying island of plants and when plummeting towards the pink ocean below.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: A-Dom! Below deck! Quickly!</p><p></p><p>Gareth and A-Dom dive below deck, A-Dom drags Bianca with them, and slam the hatches shut. Tt hits the ocean, like a dart. Goes down, bounces back up, goes into the air again, then comes down on the ocean. The mortals lose their lunch, but survive.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: A-Dom, check to make sure everyone’s ok!</p><p></p><p>Dan: Don’t you have a better candidate?</p><p></p><p>Alex: Oh yea!</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Bianca! Go with A-Dom, make sure everyone is actually OK. Puking is acceptable. Dead is not.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (to a puking passenger): You have stronger faith now!</p><p></p><p>Tiger decides that the wyld plant life is not particularly dangerous, other then being wyld in nature. He checks out the ship and finds it is full of holes and damage. Tiger figures Gareth can fix it.</p><p></p><p>Design Spirit(to Jade’s Luck): Mam! Mam! Have you realized we are in the Wyld?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Yes, that is why I have this nifty charm up. Are you OK with the wyld?</p><p></p><p>Design Spirit: No.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: What do you think we should do about it?</p><p></p><p>Design Spirit: Make Reality. I’m thinking... giant floating rocks...</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: How about I just try for an island.</p><p></p><p>Gareth tells everyone to bail.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck starts to glow like mad. She starts warping the wyld into a large hill (or small mountain sticking out of the water. But due to being in the west, IE in the middle of the ocean. It's actually a very large mountain, with only a bit sticking out above the water. This is important next session.) to form to hold the ships where they are (so one on the top of the mountain the other on the base). The hill does have grass on it. The large hill takes 5 hours to form completely. As A-Dom is helping bail out the ship he starts seeing the Wyld being replaced by a mountain.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (kind of scared): Oh, I hope we did that.</p><p></p><p>Gareth (to A-Dom): How are the passengers doing?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (calmly): Vomiting, and cowering. Usually ones who are cowering are yelling. We might have a few Wyld ones.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: We’ll have Jade’s Luck deal with them.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom finds out the woman he impregnated got wyld mutated. She has an extra arm, growing out of her hip.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (talking to himself): Well I’m off the hook now. Not my fault it’s a Wyld baby.</p><p></p><p>Gareth realizes the boat is on land.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (to Gareth): Well it makes bailing easier. But you notice the mountain is covered in grass? That’s not right.</p><p></p><p>Gareth then fixes Whale Puke. Jade’s Luck starts yelling for A-Dom. She then has him carry the ship down to the bottom of the hill. A number of parts fall off the Grumpy Craftsman while A-Dom is jogging down the mountain with the ship.</p><p></p><p>The group realizes that they are basically in a bubble of Creation, surrounded by Wyld, looking in at them like they are inside a fishbowl.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: How get creation inside Wyld?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: I though we could use some Creation. So I made it.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom becomes very confused.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Can you make people?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Not yet.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I encourage you to make people the next time you make Creation.</p><p></p><p>The group decides to keep most of the mortals inside the boats to avoid</p><p>letting them going insane by looking out into the Wyld.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: I have a plan!</p><p></p><p>Gareth (whose totemic bear is still glowing around him): Good. I have a plan too. Fix a boat, rest, fix a boat, rest.</p><p></p><p>Liz: I give the bear some damn essence. How does that charm work?</p><p></p><p>Ryan: So, you’re like a big exalted pez dispenser?</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Could you make, like an orange grove? We’re going to need to feed a bunch of people.</p><p></p><p>Luck: I can try again somewhere else, later.</p><p></p><p>GM: A-Dom, you realize you appear to be least 800 miles from any island you know of.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (to the group): We be <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /><img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />ed.</p><p></p><p>The group then starts arguing about how to travel through the Wyld for a month.</p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="Ao the Overkitty, post: 3433724, member: 9758"] [i]Synopsis of 01/29/07[/i] [B][SIZE=5] Whale Puke[/SIZE] 90% babbling, 10% content actually transcribed. [/B] [b][i]By Alwaystoast[/i][/b][i][/i] Gareth asks the group if he can train for an indeterminate amount of time. Tiger: This is your trip. You’re the once who decides. Jade’s Luck: We’re going to see a Death Lord. Really we are just coming along to make sure you don’t get mind :):):):)ed. A-Dom: Yea... that’s why I’m coming along... yea. Liz: Oh my god, Arianne is going into a sugar binge. Jade’s Luck: You know maybe we should train when we are not around all these people who we don’t want to know that we don’t have any idea about what exactly we are doing. Tiger: I know exactly what I’m doing. So Gareth decides to train for 30 days. Jade’s Luck: Will this training make it faster for us to get out? Gareth: No. I could build a ship faster then 30 days. But it will make it faster, for the next time this happens. Jade’s Luck tries to find out how the locals worship the unconquered sun, without revealing that the group has no organized religion.

Jade’s Luck: Are you making more wyld tainted babies? A-Dom: Maybe. Group discusses explaining to the locals that the world has changed while they were in the belly of a whale for a thousand years. Jade’s Luck starts her story hours, about great heroes that save innocent mortals and stuff. While that discussion is going on, this is going on as well: Tiger (to A-Dom): Want to just divide them in half? A-Dom: What? I don’t think the others will like it if we start chopping them up. Tiger: No, we each get half, and then we can each populate one island with them. A-Dom: Can I have the Women? Tiger: I think that will kind of keep the population of my island down. A-Dom: But I want an island that is just full of my babies. Tiger: I don’t think the rest of the world wants that. Jade’s Luck: Can we fix your wyld mutations first please, before you try to impregnate half of creation? A-Dom (to Jade’s Luck): You better hurry up on that then. (A-Dom winks and grins at the most recent woman he’s impregnated.) Bianca asks the religious leaders to tell her about her past self. The details were a little fuzzy after a thousand years other then Pathfinder was a great leader who said ‘I’ll be right back.’ Just before swimming out. [5 minutes of game, didn’t actually happen.] A-Dom feels a chill go down his back. Alex: I want that... it’s #32 on the list. Wait, now it’s #28 on the list. The group decides that they should take turns standing on the deck of the ship and glowing. To get people use to sunlight. Also to reassure the crew of their ship. Eventually Fatty has a conversation with Jade’s Luck. Fatty: I hate to bother you, but we are pretty sure we are missing somebody. Jade’s Luck: Really who? Fatty: One of the crew members. Everybody knows he was here before we got swallowed. But we can’t find him now. Jade’s Luck: What did he look like. Fatty: Well he was this short-tall guy who...

It is very nice on the inside. There are nameplates for every seat. Each seat is perfectly fitted for each person. There are also hidden symbols of the Unconquered Sun (and castes). ‘It’s like a little game for them to play while they are inside.’ He also adds little dioramas that are things the group did. Not all good. A-Dom goes around explaining to people that they all need to pray real hard to the Unconquered Sun, and if you die, it’s because you didn’t pray hard enough. Jade’s Luck tries to minimize the damage A-Dom is doing. Gareth officially names the ship: Whale Puke. Gareth, A-Dom and Bianca are on Whale Puke. Jade’s Luck and Tiger are on the Grumpy Craftsman. The masts of the Grumpy Craftsman are taken down, so they don’t get stuck on anything or break off. Jade’s Luck tells the pirate crew to secure everything and get ready to hold on. Gareth: The Plan: If it works, we go out the front. If it fails, we go out the back. Gareth starts swimming towards the wall of the stomach. Gareth: This is going to have an effect. I don’t know what kind, but it will have an effect. Gareth activates his sword, as the magic shards start flying around him the area around him starts to bubble and froth. Some slime starts coming down the wall to cover the hole, but Gareth keeps moving along next to the wall. Gareth starts giggling. Gareth: We’re going out the front! The wall of the stomach starts to convulse in and out towards Gareth. It starts spazaming. The water in the stomach starts to slosh back and forth. Gareth monkey-leaps off the wall, to land on Whale Puke, turning his sword off while flying there. However, Gareth mistimed his jump, and the ship when sliding out from underneath him. A-Dom pointed and laughed. A-Dom (Yelling to Gareth): You Missed! Gareth sees Whale Puke sliding back towards him, and jumps off a confused shark to land on the deck of Whale Puke. A-Dom: Welcome Aboard Admiral! Both ships start rushing towards the throat out. Everyone realizes they are about to both hit the narrow part at the same point in time. Tiger manages to stear the Grumpy Craftsman ahead of Whale Puke (while Gareth manages to slow whale puke). They both go shooting up the throat at a tremendous speed. *bwoosh* Both of the ships are puked out and up into the air. High in the air. Very High. A-Dom realizes (from his perspective high in the air) that they are much further west then they had been previously. That they are being puked even further into the west. Ie: Into the wyld. He sees the pink ocean below them, as they are falling into a pure wyld zone. A-Dom (to Gareth): Here their be monsters, Sir! (A-Dom activates Integrity Protecting Prana) Gareth: :):):):), I didn’t save enough essence for that. A-Dom: Welcome to the Tentacle Club Sir! Tiger and Jade’s Luck realize they are flying and about to hit something hard soon. And island. Actually a floating island of plants. Tiger and Jade’s Luck activate integrity protecting prana. Whale Puke missed the flying island of plants and when plummeting towards the pink ocean below. Gareth: A-Dom! Below deck! Quickly! Gareth and A-Dom dive below deck, A-Dom drags Bianca with them, and slam the hatches shut. Tt hits the ocean, like a dart. Goes down, bounces back up, goes into the air again, then comes down on the ocean. The mortals lose their lunch, but survive. Gareth: A-Dom, check to make sure everyone’s ok! Dan: Don’t you have a better candidate? Alex: Oh yea! Gareth: Bianca! Go with A-Dom, make sure everyone is actually OK. Puking is acceptable. Dead is not. A-Dom (to a puking passenger): You have stronger faith now! Tiger decides that the wyld plant life is not particularly dangerous, other then being wyld in nature. He checks out the ship and finds it is full of holes and damage. Tiger figures Gareth can fix it. Design Spirit(to Jade’s Luck): Mam! Mam! Have you realized we are in the Wyld? Jade’s Luck: Yes, that is why I have this nifty charm up. Are you OK with the wyld? Design Spirit: No. Jade’s Luck: What do you think we should do about it? Design Spirit: Make Reality. I’m thinking... giant floating rocks... Jade’s Luck: How about I just try for an island. Gareth tells everyone to bail. Jade’s Luck starts to glow like mad. She starts warping the wyld into a large hill (or small mountain sticking out of the water. But due to being in the west, IE in the middle of the ocean. It's actually a very large mountain, with only a bit sticking out above the water. This is important next session.) to form to hold the ships where they are (so one on the top of the mountain the other on the base). The hill does have grass on it. The large hill takes 5 hours to form completely. As A-Dom is helping bail out the ship he starts seeing the Wyld being replaced by a mountain. A-Dom (kind of scared): Oh, I hope we did that. Gareth (to A-Dom): How are the passengers doing? A-Dom (calmly): Vomiting, and cowering. Usually ones who are cowering are yelling. We might have a few Wyld ones. Gareth: We’ll have Jade’s Luck deal with them. A-Dom finds out the woman he impregnated got wyld mutated. She has an extra arm, growing out of her hip. A-Dom (talking to himself): Well I’m off the hook now. Not my fault it’s a Wyld baby. Gareth realizes the boat is on land. A-Dom (to Gareth): Well it makes bailing easier. But you notice the mountain is covered in grass? That’s not right. Gareth then fixes Whale Puke. Jade’s Luck starts yelling for A-Dom. She then has him carry the ship down to the bottom of the hill. A number of parts fall off the Grumpy Craftsman while A-Dom is jogging down the mountain with the ship. The group realizes that they are basically in a bubble of Creation, surrounded by Wyld, looking in at them like they are inside a fishbowl. A-Dom: How get creation inside Wyld? Jade’s Luck: I though we could use some Creation. So I made it. A-Dom becomes very confused. A-Dom: Can you make people? Jade’s Luck: Not yet. A-Dom: I encourage you to make people the next time you make Creation. The group decides to keep most of the mortals inside the boats to avoid letting them going insane by looking out into the Wyld. Jade’s Luck: I have a plan! Gareth (whose totemic bear is still glowing around him): Good. I have a plan too. Fix a boat, rest, fix a boat, rest. Liz: I give the bear some damn essence. How does that charm work? Ryan: So, you’re like a big exalted pez dispenser? Gareth: Could you make, like an orange grove? We’re going to need to feed a bunch of people. Luck: I can try again somewhere else, later. GM: A-Dom, you realize you appear to be least 800 miles from any island you know of. A-Dom (to the group): We be :):):):)ed. The group then starts arguing about how to travel through the Wyld for a month. [/QUOTE]
