Jade’s Luck eventually decided upon making a Floating Island (hollow), in the shape of a large boat (ie designed to be pushed through the water) with edible kelp (which are basically full of vitamins) growing on the bottom. Then find something in the wyld, and use it for propulsion.</p><p></p><p>Dan: You know we are going through all this trouble, but it’s the Wyld, so it might only take 5 minutes.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Someone needs to find a form of propulsion that doesn’t involve me making an animal so it can be killed and animated to push us.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I’ll do it!</p><p></p><p>The group decides Tiger should go with A-Dom, just in case.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck takes a dingy out into the wyld and starts to make her Island out of the Wyld (‘I will worry about propulsion later.’). She will finish in 10 hours. Gareth starts training by making statues out of rock, and then throwing them into the Wyld.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Tiger starts swimming through the water into the wyld at the same time as when Jade’s Luck starts using her charm. The water starts tasting like butterscotch. The water starts getting more solid, so Tiger starts walking on top of it. A-Dom keeps swimming. The water starts smelling like pine cones and feeling like oil. Eventually A-Dom stops to talk to sparkly multi-colored cloud.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Hello Clouds! Say, who’s running things around here?</p><p></p><p>Cloud: Why should we tell you?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I'm a creature of the wyld too!</p><p></p><p>Cloud: No your not!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I got some wyld in me. (Flashes his fangs at the cloud).</p><p></p><p>Cloud: Drop that... thingy, and we’ll make you all better.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Umm... no, people get upset when I’m all like Yay wyld, and they are like No unconquered sun and I’m like (real depressed) oh, yea. (Still depressed)Yay sun.</p><p></p><p>Cloud: Can’t you be like: Yay Wyld Unconquered Sun?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: No there is all this creation and worshipers and stuff. And I get headaches. I know, cause we’re such nice guys.</p><p></p><p>Cloud: Nice guys? You blew up an entire island!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: That’s tiger’s fault.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: What? What island?</p><p></p><p>Cloud: The floating one that you destroyed.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Oh, that was Jade’s Luck.</p><p></p><p>Cloud: See! You’re hanging around with island killers! That island had a family!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I kill a lot of things with families.</p><p></p><p>Cloud: Good for you. Try to do that more in creation.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Oh yea, I do that a lot. But for everything I kill...</p><p></p><p>Tiger: You make another one?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: No, I don’t really.</p><p></p><p>Cloud (to A-Dom): Well then. Good for you.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: But at the moment, we are trying to get some good mortals back to creation. We’ll throw some bad mortals back into the Wyld for you.</p><p></p><p>Cloud: Really?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Absolutely!</p><p></p><p>Cloud: You need to see the Duke now. Walk this way!</p><p></p><p>The cloud forms into a humanoid shape and shambles off. A-Dom follows it shambling just like it. Tiger tries to walk behind him normally but loses sight of them. Deciding he has lost them, he goes back to the group.</p><p></p><p>Alex: Well it’s better then if we sent Jahar.</p><p></p><p>Ryan: I like this scale!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom arrives at the Duke’s castle after walking down into the water (he can breath under water for some reason). A-Dom makes small talk with the Cloud. He gets to the front door. The door is made out of woven children.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Wow!</p><p></p><p>The cloud walks up and knocks on a child’s head, it screams. A-dom laughs. Then the children start swiming (more flailing) to make the door open up. As A-Dom walks through he slaps one of them. It howls in pain and suffering.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Hahahaha... yea, that sucks for you.</p><p></p><p>A petunia walks out.</p><p></p><p>Petunia: Yes, yes! What’s this about?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I’m here to see the Duke! I’m here to negotiate.</p><p></p><p>Cloud: He’s offered to throw mortals into the wyld for us, in exchange for getting his mortals back to creation.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (all happy): Yea, that sounds good.</p><p></p><p>Petunia: You need to see the Duke right away!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I get to pick the mortals right?</p><p></p><p>Petunia: You’ll have to negotiate with the Duke.</p><p></p><p>The Petunia leads A-Dom down a corridor made of Violet (the color).</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I like your door.</p><p></p><p>Petunia: We like it too.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: If I make one, it will have to be undead children. Cause people would be upset if I actually killed children. So I’ll just wait around until we have enough for a door.</p><p></p><p>Petunia: We could sell you dead children.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: This is the wyld, not so much a problem for you as for me. Since if they have tenticals and eat live children, I get blamed.</p><p></p><p>Petunia: No, no, no. We can sell you real, creation preserved dead children. Off the door.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Those are Creation children?</p><p></p><p>Petunia: Yes. Extra tasty.</p><p></p><p>They reach the thrown room of the Duke. The Duke is a tiny six inch tall man sitting on a giant thrown. A-Dom kneels while chuckling madly to himself.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Hello Duke! I’m A-Dom.</p><p></p><p>Duke: Hello Solar. What are you doing in my part of the Wyld?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Puked up by a whale.</p><p></p><p>Duke: I hate that when that happens.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Almost as bad as getting killed by shrabbits.</p><p></p><p>Duke: Are you responsible for blowing up my west duchy?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: NO! No I am not!</p><p></p><p>Duke: One of your friends is.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Jade’s Luck. She’s to blame. Always.</p><p></p><p>The petunia pulls off a petal and writes: Jade’s Luck is always to blame for blowing up the Wyld.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (reading over the petunia’s shoulder): And Jahar helped her. Write that down too. And Jahar’s wife. I don’t remember her name... and the dragonbloods.</p><p></p><p>Duke: I understand you have a problem.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Yes, I have mortals I want to get back to Creation. Does it help that I know Ailee?</p><p></p><p>Duke: A little. How many mortals do you have?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Fifty. No, wait. Two fifty, plus the crew. So about two seventy. Roughly.</p><p></p><p>Duke: You want to get them to creation. Which part? You see wyld isn’t linear, so we can arrange different exit points.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: So... we could drop them in the east. Where else is there...</p><p></p><p>Liz: God no... do any of us speak that language?</p><p></p><p>Duke turns to the wall and it turns into a map.</p><p></p><p>Duke: I can get you about 500 miles within most places, other then the Blessed Isle. Gem! Do you want to go to Gem? I hear someone is going to blow it up. You should see it before it goes away.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Hmm... God damn it I’m going to get in trouble.</p><p></p><p>Duke: Don’t worry, you can blame it on me.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Don’t worry, I was going to. What’s the cheapest place to end up?</p><p></p><p>Duke: Cheapest? Where-ever I want. You just go on faith. I’ll give you half price for that.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Then I just have to throw a certain amount of mortals into the wyld. How many?</p><p></p><p>Duke: We’ll if we are going where you want, it’s one for one. You get to pick the mortals, but they have to be alive.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Now how many mortals count for special things. Like Dragon Bloods.</p><p></p><p>Duke: Dragon Bloods are worth 3 if they are restrained. Only 2 if not, cause I have to send people to fight them.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: What’s the time frame on this? Do I have to do it right away or can I get a mortal lifetime?</p><p></p><p>Duke: I’ll give you two mortal lifetimes. I don’t age. You don’t age that much.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Let’s make it Five then.</p><p></p><p>Duke: Five mortal lifetimes?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Yea! What, you got somewhere to be?</p><p></p><p>Duke: Well I’m going to need a minium of two people every ten years, and you mush finish payment in five mortal lifetimes.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Yea! I’ll add that to my list.</p><p></p><p>Liz: This is going to cause issues.</p><p></p><p>Ryan: This is so much fun when the rest of you are not around.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Now, what about say children?</p><p></p><p>Duke: Children count as two.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Really?</p><p></p><p>Duke: Yes. Old people count as half. For 60+.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: So you’re eating the soul of the young?</p><p></p><p>Duke: No, no, no. Joy.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: That’s fine.</p><p></p><p>Duke: Where you want to go, it’s one for one. Where I want to send you, it’s half price.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Want to give me any clues where you want to send me?</p><p></p><p>Duke: It will be ‘in Creation.’</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Can I ask that you at least put me in water. What with boats and all. I owe Gareth at least that much, to drop the boats in the water.</p><p></p><p>Duke: Ok, how about 200 people for ‘in water.’</p><p></p><p>Liz: Sooooo <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. Totally.</p><p></p><p>Duke: When do you want this done and how long do you want the trip to take?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: As soon as I get back. How long does it have to take?</p><p></p><p>Duke: About five minutes.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Sounds good. No extra charge for that fast right?</p><p></p><p>Duke: No extra charge.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Can we take the mountain with us?</p><p></p><p>Duke: The one you blew up my East Duchy for?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Yes.</p><p></p><p>Duke: Sure.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Thanks Dookey.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Duke Dew-key shake hands.</p><p></p><p>Duke: How did you know my name? I am, Duke Dew-key.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Of course you are. Excelent.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom heads back to the group (lead out by the cloud). The GM starts laughing maniacally. A-Dom gets back to the group twenty minutes after he left. Off in the distance he can see a great glow coming from where Jade’s Luck is shaping the wyld.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom swims right onto the island and up to the shore near Gareth.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I fixed it!</p><p></p><p>Gareth: What?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I fixed it, I negotiated passage. We’ll get back to Creation soon. And it’s CHEAP!</p><p></p><p>Tiger: What’s it going to cost?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Some Dragon Bloods.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: If you can’t tell me the number immediately, it’s too many.</p><p></p><p>While they are talking, a swallow flys overhead and drops a coconut.</p><p></p><p>Gareth (yelling): Jade’s Lu...</p><p></p><p>Gareth Catches the coconut and sees carved on it: Tell everyone to Hold On.</p><p></p><p>Gareth (still yelling): HOLD ON!</p><p></p><p>Then below that is a number that keeps changing: 10...9...8...</p><p></p><p>The entire island starts to spin really fast. As the entire island is flushed out of the wyld.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I only did what I was told!</p><p></p><p>Go back and read the first thing Jade's Luck said <#fubar> this session and decide for yourself.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck fails to notice that the bubble of creation is flushed away while she is working.</p><p></p><p>The rest of the group falls what it feels like 20 feet, then there is a great sploosh. Gareth first sees green. Not see green, but tree green.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Tiger realize they are in the middle of a river, with a forest on one side, and a gigantic city on the other bank. With a great many people looking at them. A-Dom waves.</p><p></p><p>The entire island of Creation (the size of a mountain, due to most of it being underwater) crashed down in the middle of a very large river. The mountain, not designed to be dropped, spread out quite a bit when it fell.</p><p></p><p>Gareth [Sea tongue]: Where are we? (No response from crowd)</p><p></p><p>Tiger [low realm]: Where are we?</p><p></p><p>Locals: Nexus. You appear lost. YOU’RE BLOCKING THE RIVER!</p><p></p><p>Tiger (to A-Dom): Did you see what you did?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: At least I didn’t rip a hole in creation and create the underworld?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: That was your fault.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Does anybody see Jade’s Luck?</p><p></p><p>Great chorus of: NO</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I’m sure she’s just hiding.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: You’re going to have to move this island.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: We are going to have to turn it into chocolate, then give it to her. That might save me.</p><p></p><p>The group noticing that the island is really clogging the middle of the river. Flooding is starting on both sides of the island.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Gareth decide the best thing to do is to tunnel under the island to let the river get past. So they then alter there plan to turn the island into a large archway bridge over the river. Luckily with A-Dom’s strength, and Gareth’s super crafting charms, this is possible. They specifically leave their boats (Grumpy Craftsman and Whale Puke) on the top of the bridge.</p><p></p><p>Eventually a spokesman for Nexus comes out to talk to them.</p><p></p><p>Spokesman [Low Realm]: I don’t want to interrupt or anything. We are going to wait until you finish to decide on any punishments.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: No abla Jahar.</p><p></p><p>Tiger translates for them for the rest of these conversations.</p><p></p><p>Spokesman [Low Realm]: This man is Jahar?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: No</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Jahar.</p><p></p><p>Spokesman [Low Realm]: This is Jahar’s fault?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Apparently.</p><p></p><p>Spokesman [Low Realm]: Who are these people?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom, Gareth and Tiger introduce themselves. A-Dom is freaked out that the Spokesman has heard of the Dom Sea.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Know any quick ways to get back to the west?</p><p></p><p>Spokesman [Low Realm]: Quick?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I’ll just keep digging. Do you know what an Anathema is?</p><p></p><p>Spokesman [Low Realm]: Yes</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Do you kill them?</p><p></p><p>Spokesman [Low Realm]: Only if they break the laws. Disrupting Trade is a violation of the most important law...</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Still digging. Don’t worry.</p><p></p><p>Tiger (to A-Dom): Work faster!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: If your City isn’t on an island, how do we know where the rules stop?</p><p></p><p>Bianca moves the people from the whale to the forested bank of the river.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom and Gareth keep working for about ten hours.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck fails to notice that the bubble of creation is flushed away while she is working. So she keeps working, for nine hours and forty more minutes. After she is finished:</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck (Yelling): Hey Gareth look what I made!</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck realizes she is alone, and where the island had been there is a crew of giant lady bugs trying to construct a flying island out of plants.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Crap. This must be A-Dom’s fault. (To lady bugs): Did you see what happened to the island that was there?</p><p></p><p>Bug: Yes! This giant whale spit out a ship and it hit the island. Then someone destroyed it with creation. It was horrible.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: What happened to the big weird creation thing?</p><p></p><p>Bug: It was moved. Zoning violations. I don’t know. You’d have to go talk to the Duke.</p><p></p><p>Ryan (to Liz): I gave you chocolate!</p><p></p><p>Alex: That won’t save A-Dom.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Hey Pursy... how familar are you with the wyld?</p><p></p><p>Pursy: I’m a local?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Are you a creature of the wyld or an artifact or what?</p><p></p><p>Pursy: I’m just and artifact, not a specialist on what I am.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: You know any influential beings in this area?</p><p></p><p>Pursy: No, but I’m sure there are some. Just ask for whoever is in charge. Be Diplomatic. But not like Tiger.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Nobody can be diplomatic just like Tiger. He’s got a ‘special’ ability.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck eventually gets escorted to the Duke’s castle by a hunk of water that tells her to ‘walk this way’ and struts off. Jade’s Luck struts off following. Climbing into the air to a gate made out of flower petals. The water knocks, the flowers starts to sing. A petunia walks out.</p><p></p><p>Petunia: Yes, who are you?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: I’m Jade’s Luck.</p><p></p><p>Petunia (serious): Oh... you blew up the south duchy.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: It’s possible... the whale was...</p><p></p><p>Petunia: We have documented evidence from A-Dom.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Oh. And what did this A-Dom tell you? The most honest of Solars...</p><p></p><p>Petunia: That you destroyed the North Duchy by installing this large rock like thing.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: What did the South Duchy look like?</p><p></p><p>Petunia: A big flying island of plants.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Oh. I, I, I apology for that. You see our boat hit it when the whale barfed us up.</p><p></p><p>Petunia: Yes, yes, whale barf we have that. It’s on record already. Are you here to apologize to Duke Dew-key?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: I would like to apologize, I was just looking for a place for my mortal subjects to stand.</p><p></p><p>Petunia: Oh yes, they have been taken care of.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Oh, is that where they went?</p><p></p><p>Petunia: Yes, a deal was made.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: What kind of deal did A-Dom make?</p><p></p><p>Petunia: I am not at liberty to say. A deal was made.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Please, lead on.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck is taken to meet Duke Dew-Key, and apologized for blowing up the dew-chy.</p><p></p><p>Duke: Well we made a deal to get rid of those miscreants you had trespassing here. We sent them back to Creation.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Would you care to tell me where you sent them?</p><p></p><p>Duke: To a river. Rivers are water. That was part of the deal.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck [in River Speak]: Do they speak this language there?</p><p></p><p>Duke: Yes.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck [Seatongue]: Do they speak this?</p><p></p><p>Duke: Not so much.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: That could be interesting for them. I don’t think any of them speak that langage.</p><p></p><p>Duke: Would you care to join them?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: What would the cost be? Actually what was the deal you made with A-Dom?</p><p></p><p>Duke: You’ll have to take that up with him. As the Duke of this area, I’d like to make a non-destruction agreement. I get you to them. You don’t blow up any more of my Duchy.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Well I did just make another island. As a boat to sail out.</p><p></p><p>The Duke sends the Petunia off to find out where Jade’s Luck built her new island. After a few minutes the Petunia comes back with some papers that are handed to the Duke.</p><p></p><p>Petunia: It’s fine. It’s in the Earl’s land.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: I hope I didn’t hurt anyone. That wasn’t my intent.</p><p></p><p>Duke: You killed, Boab, Fred, Petunia’s Cousin, a nice nameless rock, but he was a nice guy.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: So you want me to not destroy anymore of your dew-chy?</p><p></p><p>Duke: Duchy. My name is Duke Dew-Key, I control a Duchy. Try to get it strait.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck mades to deal to no longer blow up any more of the Duchy, in exchange for sending her and her island to where the rest of the group went. After she gets back to her island a bird flies over with a coconut, that says: Hold On. She and her island are then flushed out of the Wyld.</p><p></p><p>While Gareth and A-Dom are almost done turning the island into a land bridge, A-Dom and Tiger look up, and see a little tiny pin-prick of wyld floating in the sky over the river.</p><p></p><p>Ryan: Oh Jesus Christ.</p><p></p><p>A little tiny bird flies out of the wyld and Drops a coconut. Tiger catches it. It reads: Coming threw in 9...8...7...</p><p></p><p>Tiger: EVERYBODY OUT OF THE WAY!</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Oh crap the boats!</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck and her hollow floating hollow island (build to hold 500 people) falls onto the bridge, directly onto the Grumpy Craftsman and Whale Puke, squishing them flat. Then it slides off the land bridge into the water. Luckily the hollow floating island is much smaller then the mountain, so it’s only blocking part of the river. It is however stuck into the river mud, and no longer floating.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom (to Gareth): You ever have a bad day?</p><p></p><p>Gareth: I’m going to go cry now.</p><p></p><p>Design Spirit: This bridge needs more pillars.</p><p></p><p>Gareth gives up, and walks into Nexus looking for a bar.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Hey A-Dom! I hear you played Lets make a Deal!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Could we fight later? I have to stop the river from flooding the world.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom decides to dig a channel out of the bank to allow the river to get past Jade’s Luck’s floating island (stuck in the mud).</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: If I break your boat, you can be extra, extra angry.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck tries to help, by moving small stones out of the way. While A-Dom moves giant boulders and large amounts of land.</p><p></p><p>Gareth gets to a bar. He holds up a Jade coin. The bartender puts 4 drinks in front of him. Gareth tries to drink them all at once. He then pulls out more coins.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: You boat is now an island. Sorry. It’s not getting out. You know when you were in school, and you would fall asleep...</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: I would never fall asleep during...</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: ...and one time I fell asleep and had a nightmare that they were telling me about water that flows over land, it’s called a River. I think this is one of them. So things get stuck. If they want to kill us, we are stuck, because this island is very big.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom then punches holes in the hollow island so the water can go threw.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck starts to map the river so she can sell the maps.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: I think to get away without getting killed, we’ll have to give the maps away for free.</p><p></p><p>Eventually Gareth gets the bartender to start bringing him barrels.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: This isn’t an island. This is land that surrounds water.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: So all the men go to the middle to do work?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Yes. But lets chart this now, then we’ll deal with your whole repentance thing later.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I’d turn to Gareth now, but he’s not here.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck then talks to the Spokesman and blames the Wyld for everything.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: They must have a lot of hungry people. There won’t be enough fish to go around.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck goes looking for Gareth, and finds him in a bar, next to a pile of empty kegs.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: We don’t need a repetition of that right now. We have to chart the river. We need a boat.</p><p></p><p>Gareth starts to cry.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Aren’t you the one who builds them?</p><p></p><p>Gareth (Still crying): What’s the point? My boats are cursed! I build one it gets broken. I build one it gets stolen. I build one it gets broken. I build one it gets broken.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: *cough* A-Dom *cough*</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Where the hell are we?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Nexus</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Where the hell is that?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: The East. You know our families. We won’t be seeing them for a while. Don’t worry we only need to go past the Blessed Isle to get back.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck & Tiger: We can drop in on Jahar’s kid along the way.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom makes a boat out of mud and gives it to Gareth.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I’m sorry. But look at the bright side. There is lots of trees here. Lots of materials. We can make the next one out of rubber tree plants.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Remember how we got drunk for a year?</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: You want to do that?</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Yes!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: First, we need a pool...</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: I’d like to get back to my mother a little sooner then that.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: You don’t have to wait for us.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: We need a magic barrel... Tiger can help. A booze barrel artifact.</p><p></p><p>Gareth has the Craft, Tiger has the Occult, A-Dom has the desire... A Magic Beer Barrel was planned.</p><p></p><p>Gareth (Very quite and sad): I’m going to miss the mice.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: No... no... no.. NO!</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Maybe they survived...</p><p></p><p>Tiger: The Pirates wouldn’t have left the Mice behind! They value their lives.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom runs off to find the mice. They have tied one of the crew members to a tree, and appear to be planning a sacrifice.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Mice! Mice!</p><p></p><p>Cannibalistic Voodoo Mice Shaman: Oogah Chacka, Oogah Chacka!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: No Oogah Chacka, Oogah Chacka right now. No.</p><p></p><p>Shaman: Shwoona! (Makes thrusting justures with his spear)</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Shwoona?</p><p></p><p>Shaman: Shwoona! Shwoona!</p><p></p><p>A-Don: No, No Shwoona!</p><p></p><p>A-Dom cuts the crew members free and carries him off.</p><p></p><p>Tiger (to Jade’s Luck): This is all your fault.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: How exactly is THIS my fault that we are in nexus?</p><p></p><p>Tiger: Because we choose to blame you.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom keeps having a long argument with the voodoo shaman mouse. Despite nether of them speaking the same language. A-Dom eventually calms the mice down, and figures out they are freaked out by the lack of water, and want to perform a sacrifice to bring the water back. A-Dom sadly agrees with them. A-Dom takes the Cannibalistic Voodoo Mice back to Gareth.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I found the mice!</p><p></p><p>Gareth makes them little tables and mugs and gives them beer. The bartender is totally freaked out. But Gareth keeps giving him money.</p><p></p><p>Ryan: We want to make an ever-full barrel of beer. Not an Infinite Barrel of Beer. Because that would cause us to be running around screaming: What do we do? What do we do? It’s just spraying beer everywhere! It won’t stop!

Some things might be other people’s fault. Some people who might have been born near the Dom sea, might take the blame for some things.</p><p></p><p>They then give the charts to the Spokesman. The Spokesman tells them that he has to talk to his superiors, and there will probably be a fine.</p><p></p><p>Spokesman: Don’t leave town right away.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: I can’t. I broke the boat.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Duke Dew-Key might have something to do with it. I believe you met him.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Oh yea, the little guy. We fought. I did my best.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck double botches her roll to notice him lying through his teeth.</p><p></p><p>Ryan: Other then landing in Nexus, this game is going very well.</p><p></p><p>Gareth learns Cannibalistic Voodoo Mice as a language. While they (him and the mice) are drunk. Well, the mice anyway. Gareth couldn’t seem to get drunk no matter what he drank.</p><p></p><p>The group then wastes a lot of time trying to collect these ingredients. But other then having Gareth make the perfect Barrel (out of a few remaining parts of first age ship parts, and a few good trees). They don’t do anything other then scare some local brewers. (This sums up an entire hour of the game.)</p><p></p><p>They start arguing about death rituals, since they don’t know if people are cremated, or buried around here. Jade’s Luck is sent to find out. She finds out about Sijan, city of tombs. She gets directions to the Morticians Order.

Which greatly upsets her, knowing it will make A-Dom very happy. Jade’s Luck then explains this to the group.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: So there is this city 800 miles north of here, where they keep their dead people. It also looks like there are places of interest within this city. As there are Anathema tombs.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Really? Are they labeled?</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck shows them the brochure. There is a Tomb of blood, knives, and The Wretched Tomb.</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Now remember, not everything is for you.</p><p></p><p>A-Dom: Yes, but then there will be notes.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: You see they don’t like angry anathema ghosts, so you have to respectfully steal their stuff.</p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="Ao the Overkitty, post: 3433855, member: 9758"] [i]Synopsis of 02/12/07[/i] [B][SIZE=5] We’ll throw some bad mortals back into the Wyld for you. [/SIZE] This is so much fun when the rest of you are not around. [/B] [b][i]By Alwaystoast[/i][/b][i][/i] The group starts arguing about how to best use Wyld Shaping Technique to get them out of their current problem. Jade’s Luck eventually decided upon making a Floating Island (hollow), in the shape of a large boat (ie designed to be pushed through the water) with edible kelp (which are basically full of vitamins) growing on the bottom. Then find something in the wyld, and use it for propulsion. Dan: You know we are going through all this trouble, but it’s the Wyld, so it might only take 5 minutes. Jade’s Luck: Someone needs to find a form of propulsion that doesn’t involve me making an animal so it can be killed and animated to push us. A-Dom: I’ll do it! The group decides Tiger should go with A-Dom, just in case. Jade’s Luck takes a dingy out into the wyld and starts to make her Island out of the Wyld (‘I will worry about propulsion later.’). She will finish in 10 hours. Gareth starts training by making statues out of rock, and then throwing them into the Wyld. A-Dom and Tiger starts swimming through the water into the wyld at the same time as when Jade’s Luck starts using her charm. The water starts tasting like butterscotch. The water starts getting more solid, so Tiger starts walking on top of it. A-Dom keeps swimming. The water starts smelling like pine cones and feeling like oil. Eventually A-Dom stops to talk to sparkly multi-colored cloud. A-Dom: Hello Clouds! Say, who’s running things around here? Cloud: Why should we tell you? A-Dom: I'm a creature of the wyld too! Cloud: No your not! A-Dom: I got some wyld in me. (Flashes his fangs at the cloud). Cloud: Drop that... thingy, and we’ll make you all better. A-Dom: Umm... no, people get upset when I’m all like Yay wyld, and they are like No unconquered sun and I’m like (real depressed) oh, yea. (Still depressed)Yay sun. Cloud: Can’t you be like: Yay Wyld Unconquered Sun? A-Dom: No there is all this creation and worshipers and stuff. And I get headaches. I know, cause we’re such nice guys. Cloud: Nice guys? You blew up an entire island! A-Dom: That’s tiger’s fault. Tiger: What? What island? Cloud: The floating one that you destroyed. A-Dom: Oh, that was Jade’s Luck. Cloud: See! You’re hanging around with island killers! That island had a family! A-Dom: I kill a lot of things with families. Cloud: Good for you. Try to do that more in creation. A-Dom: Oh yea, I do that a lot. But for everything I kill... Tiger: You make another one? A-Dom: No, I don’t really. Cloud (to A-Dom): Well then. Good for you. A-Dom: But at the moment, we are trying to get some good mortals back to creation. We’ll throw some bad mortals back into the Wyld for you. Cloud: Really? A-Dom: Absolutely! Cloud: You need to see the Duke now. Walk this way! The cloud forms into a humanoid shape and shambles off. A-Dom follows it shambling just like it. Tiger tries to walk behind him normally but loses sight of them. Deciding he has lost them, he goes back to the group. Alex: Well it’s better then if we sent Jahar. Ryan: I like this scale! A-Dom arrives at the Duke’s castle after walking down into the water (he can breath under water for some reason). A-Dom makes small talk with the Cloud. He gets to the front door. The door is made out of woven children. A-Dom: Wow! The cloud walks up and knocks on a child’s head, it screams. A-dom laughs. Then the children start swiming (more flailing) to make the door open up. As A-Dom walks through he slaps one of them. It howls in pain and suffering. A-Dom: Hahahaha... yea, that sucks for you. A petunia walks out. Petunia: Yes, yes! What’s this about? A-Dom: I’m here to see the Duke! I’m here to negotiate. Cloud: He’s offered to throw mortals into the wyld for us, in exchange for getting his mortals back to creation. A-Dom (all happy): Yea, that sounds good. Petunia: You need to see the Duke right away! A-Dom: I get to pick the mortals right? Petunia: You’ll have to negotiate with the Duke. The Petunia leads A-Dom down a corridor made of Violet (the color). A-Dom: I like your door. Petunia: We like it too. A-Dom: If I make one, it will have to be undead children. Cause people would be upset if I actually killed children. So I’ll just wait around until we have enough for a door. Petunia: We could sell you dead children. A-Dom: This is the wyld, not so much a problem for you as for me. Since if they have tenticals and eat live children, I get blamed. Petunia: No, no, no. We can sell you real, creation preserved dead children. Off the door. A-Dom: Those are Creation children? Petunia: Yes. Extra tasty. They reach the thrown room of the Duke. The Duke is a tiny six inch tall man sitting on a giant thrown. A-Dom kneels while chuckling madly to himself. A-Dom: Hello Duke! I’m A-Dom. Duke: Hello Solar. What are you doing in my part of the Wyld? A-Dom: Puked up by a whale. Duke: I hate that when that happens. A-Dom: Almost as bad as getting killed by shrabbits. Duke: Are you responsible for blowing up my west duchy? A-Dom: NO! No I am not! Duke: One of your friends is. A-Dom: Jade’s Luck. She’s to blame. Always. The petunia pulls off a petal and writes: Jade’s Luck is always to blame for blowing up the Wyld. A-Dom (reading over the petunia’s shoulder): And Jahar helped her. Write that down too. And Jahar’s wife. I don’t remember her name... and the dragonbloods. Duke: I understand you have a problem. A-Dom: Yes, I have mortals I want to get back to Creation. Does it help that I know Ailee? Duke: A little. How many mortals do you have? A-Dom: Fifty. No, wait. Two fifty, plus the crew. So about two seventy. Roughly. Duke: You want to get them to creation. Which part? You see wyld isn’t linear, so we can arrange different exit points. A-Dom: So... we could drop them in the east. Where else is there... Liz: God no... do any of us speak that language? Duke turns to the wall and it turns into a map. Duke: I can get you about 500 miles within most places, other then the Blessed Isle. Gem! Do you want to go to Gem? I hear someone is going to blow it up. You should see it before it goes away. A-Dom: Hmm... God damn it I’m going to get in trouble. Duke: Don’t worry, you can blame it on me. A-Dom: Don’t worry, I was going to. What’s the cheapest place to end up? Duke: Cheapest? Where-ever I want. You just go on faith. I’ll give you half price for that. A-Dom: Then I just have to throw a certain amount of mortals into the wyld. How many? Duke: We’ll if we are going where you want, it’s one for one. You get to pick the mortals, but they have to be alive. A-Dom: Now how many mortals count for special things. Like Dragon Bloods. Duke: Dragon Bloods are worth 3 if they are restrained. Only 2 if not, cause I have to send people to fight them. A-Dom: What’s the time frame on this? Do I have to do it right away or can I get a mortal lifetime? Duke: I’ll give you two mortal lifetimes. I don’t age. You don’t age that much. A-Dom: Let’s make it Five then. Duke: Five mortal lifetimes? A-Dom: Yea! What, you got somewhere to be? Duke: Well I’m going to need a minium of two people every ten years, and you mush finish payment in five mortal lifetimes. A-Dom: Yea! I’ll add that to my list. Liz: This is going to cause issues. Ryan: This is so much fun when the rest of you are not around. A-Dom: Now, what about say children? Duke: Children count as two. A-Dom: Really? Duke: Yes. Old people count as half. For 60+. A-Dom: So you’re eating the soul of the young? Duke: No, no, no. Joy. A-Dom: That’s fine. Duke: Where you want to go, it’s one for one. Where I want to send you, it’s half price. A-Dom: Want to give me any clues where you want to send me? Duke: It will be ‘in Creation.’ A-Dom: Can I ask that you at least put me in water. What with boats and all. I owe Gareth at least that much, to drop the boats in the water. Duke: Ok, how about 200 people for ‘in water.’ Liz: Sooooo :):):):)ed. Totally. Duke: When do you want this done and how long do you want the trip to take? A-Dom: As soon as I get back. How long does it have to take? Duke: About five minutes. A-Dom: Sounds good. No extra charge for that fast right? Duke: No extra charge. A-Dom: Can we take the mountain with us? Duke: The one you blew up my East Duchy for? A-Dom: Yes. Duke: Sure. A-Dom: Thanks Dookey. A-Dom and Duke Dew-key shake hands. Duke: How did you know my name? I am, Duke Dew-key. A-Dom: Of course you are. Excelent. A-Dom heads back to the group (lead out by the cloud). The GM starts laughing maniacally. A-Dom gets back to the group twenty minutes after he left. Off in the distance he can see a great glow coming from where Jade’s Luck is shaping the wyld. A-Dom swims right onto the island and up to the shore near Gareth. A-Dom: I fixed it! Gareth: What? A-Dom: I fixed it, I negotiated passage. We’ll get back to Creation soon. And it’s CHEAP! Tiger: What’s it going to cost? A-Dom: Some Dragon Bloods. Gareth: If you can’t tell me the number immediately, it’s too many. While they are talking, a swallow flys overhead and drops a coconut. Gareth (yelling): Jade’s Lu... Gareth Catches the coconut and sees carved on it: Tell everyone to Hold On. Gareth (still yelling): HOLD ON! Then below that is a number that keeps changing: 10...9...8... The entire island starts to spin really fast. As the entire island is flushed out of the wyld. A-Dom: I only did what I was told! Go back and read the first thing Jade's Luck said <#fubar> this session and decide for yourself. Jade’s Luck fails to notice that the bubble of creation is flushed away while she is working. The rest of the group falls what it feels like 20 feet, then there is a great sploosh. Gareth first sees green. Not see green, but tree green. A-Dom and Tiger realize they are in the middle of a river, with a forest on one side, and a gigantic city on the other bank. With a great many people looking at them. A-Dom waves. The entire island of Creation (the size of a mountain, due to most of it being underwater) crashed down in the middle of a very large river. The mountain, not designed to be dropped, spread out quite a bit when it fell. Gareth [Sea tongue]: Where are we? (No response from crowd) Tiger [low realm]: Where are we? Locals: Nexus. You appear lost. YOU’RE BLOCKING THE RIVER! Tiger (to A-Dom): Did you see what you did? A-Dom: At least I didn’t rip a hole in creation and create the underworld? Tiger: That was your fault. Gareth: Does anybody see Jade’s Luck? Great chorus of: NO A-Dom: I’m sure she’s just hiding. Tiger: You’re going to have to move this island. A-Dom: We are going to have to turn it into chocolate, then give it to her. That might save me. The group noticing that the island is really clogging the middle of the river. Flooding is starting on both sides of the island. A-Dom and Gareth decide the best thing to do is to tunnel under the island to let the river get past. So they then alter there plan to turn the island into a large archway bridge over the river. Luckily with A-Dom’s strength, and Gareth’s super crafting charms, this is possible. They specifically leave their boats (Grumpy Craftsman and Whale Puke) on the top of the bridge. Eventually a spokesman for Nexus comes out to talk to them. Spokesman [Low Realm]: I don’t want to interrupt or anything. We are going to wait until you finish to decide on any punishments. Gareth: No abla Jahar. Tiger translates for them for the rest of these conversations. Spokesman [Low Realm]: This man is Jahar? Tiger: No Gareth: Jahar. Spokesman [Low Realm]: This is Jahar’s fault? Tiger: Apparently. Spokesman [Low Realm]: Who are these people? A-Dom, Gareth and Tiger introduce themselves. A-Dom is freaked out that the Spokesman has heard of the Dom Sea. A-Dom: Know any quick ways to get back to the west? Spokesman [Low Realm]: Quick? A-Dom: I’ll just keep digging. Do you know what an Anathema is? Spokesman [Low Realm]: Yes A-Dom: Do you kill them? Spokesman [Low Realm]: Only if they break the laws. Disrupting Trade is a violation of the most important law... A-Dom: Still digging. Don’t worry. Tiger (to A-Dom): Work faster! A-Dom: If your City isn’t on an island, how do we know where the rules stop? Bianca moves the people from the whale to the forested bank of the river. A-Dom and Gareth keep working for about ten hours. Jade’s Luck fails to notice that the bubble of creation is flushed away while she is working. So she keeps working, for nine hours and forty more minutes. After she is finished: Jade’s Luck (Yelling): Hey Gareth look what I made! Jade’s Luck realizes she is alone, and where the island had been there is a crew of giant lady bugs trying to construct a flying island out of plants. Jade’s Luck: Crap. This must be A-Dom’s fault. (To lady bugs): Did you see what happened to the island that was there? Bug: Yes! This giant whale spit out a ship and it hit the island. Then someone destroyed it with creation. It was horrible. Jade’s Luck: What happened to the big weird creation thing? Bug: It was moved. Zoning violations. I don’t know. You’d have to go talk to the Duke. Ryan (to Liz): I gave you chocolate! Alex: That won’t save A-Dom. Jade’s Luck: Hey Pursy... how familar are you with the wyld? Pursy: I’m a local? Jade’s Luck: Are you a creature of the wyld or an artifact or what? Pursy: I’m just and artifact, not a specialist on what I am. Jade’s Luck: You know any influential beings in this area? Pursy: No, but I’m sure there are some. Just ask for whoever is in charge. Be Diplomatic. But not like Tiger. Jade’s Luck: Nobody can be diplomatic just like Tiger. He’s got a ‘special’ ability. Jade’s Luck eventually gets escorted to the Duke’s castle by a hunk of water that tells her to ‘walk this way’ and struts off. Jade’s Luck struts off following. Climbing into the air to a gate made out of flower petals. The water knocks, the flowers starts to sing. A petunia walks out. Petunia: Yes, who are you? Jade’s Luck: I’m Jade’s Luck. Petunia (serious): Oh... you blew up the south duchy. Jade’s Luck: It’s possible... the whale was... Petunia: We have documented evidence from A-Dom. Jade’s Luck: Oh. And what did this A-Dom tell you? The most honest of Solars... Petunia: That you destroyed the North Duchy by installing this large rock like thing. Jade’s Luck: What did the South Duchy look like? Petunia: A big flying island of plants. Jade’s Luck: Oh. I, I, I apology for that. You see our boat hit it when the whale barfed us up. Petunia: Yes, yes, whale barf we have that. It’s on record already. Are you here to apologize to Duke Dew-key? Jade’s Luck: I would like to apologize, I was just looking for a place for my mortal subjects to stand. Petunia: Oh yes, they have been taken care of. Jade’s Luck: Oh, is that where they went? Petunia: Yes, a deal was made. Jade’s Luck: What kind of deal did A-Dom make? Petunia: I am not at liberty to say. A deal was made. Jade’s Luck: Please, lead on. Jade’s Luck is taken to meet Duke Dew-Key, and apologized for blowing up the dew-chy. Duke: Well we made a deal to get rid of those miscreants you had trespassing here. We sent them back to Creation. Jade’s Luck: Would you care to tell me where you sent them? Duke: To a river. Rivers are water. That was part of the deal. Jade’s Luck [in River Speak]: Do they speak this language there? Duke: Yes. Jade’s Luck [Seatongue]: Do they speak this? Duke: Not so much. Jade’s Luck: That could be interesting for them. I don’t think any of them speak that langage. Duke: Would you care to join them? Jade’s Luck: What would the cost be? Actually what was the deal you made with A-Dom? Duke: You’ll have to take that up with him. As the Duke of this area, I’d like to make a non-destruction agreement. I get you to them. You don’t blow up any more of my Duchy. Jade’s Luck: Well I did just make another island. As a boat to sail out. The Duke sends the Petunia off to find out where Jade’s Luck built her new island. After a few minutes the Petunia comes back with some papers that are handed to the Duke. Petunia: It’s fine. It’s in the Earl’s land. Jade’s Luck: I hope I didn’t hurt anyone. That wasn’t my intent. Duke: You killed, Boab, Fred, Petunia’s Cousin, a nice nameless rock, but he was a nice guy. Jade’s Luck: So you want me to not destroy anymore of your dew-chy? Duke: Duchy. My name is Duke Dew-Key, I control a Duchy. Try to get it strait. Jade’s Luck mades to deal to no longer blow up any more of the Duchy, in exchange for sending her and her island to where the rest of the group went. After she gets back to her island a bird flies over with a coconut, that says: Hold On. She and her island are then flushed out of the Wyld. While Gareth and A-Dom are almost done turning the island into a land bridge, A-Dom and Tiger look up, and see a little tiny pin-prick of wyld floating in the sky over the river. Ryan: Oh Jesus Christ. A little tiny bird flies out of the wyld and Drops a coconut. Tiger catches it. It reads: Coming threw in 9...8...7... Tiger: EVERYBODY OUT OF THE WAY! Gareth: Oh crap the boats! Jade’s Luck and her hollow floating hollow island (build to hold 500 people) falls onto the bridge, directly onto the Grumpy Craftsman and Whale Puke, squishing them flat. Then it slides off the land bridge into the water. Luckily the hollow floating island is much smaller then the mountain, so it’s only blocking part of the river. It is however stuck into the river mud, and no longer floating. A-Dom (to Gareth): You ever have a bad day? Gareth: I’m going to go cry now. Design Spirit: This bridge needs more pillars. Gareth gives up, and walks into Nexus looking for a bar. Jade’s Luck: Hey A-Dom! I hear you played Lets make a Deal! A-Dom: Could we fight later? I have to stop the river from flooding the world. A-Dom decides to dig a channel out of the bank to allow the river to get past Jade’s Luck’s floating island (stuck in the mud). A-Dom: If I break your boat, you can be extra, extra angry. Jade’s Luck tries to help, by moving small stones out of the way. While A-Dom moves giant boulders and large amounts of land. Gareth gets to a bar. He holds up a Jade coin. The bartender puts 4 drinks in front of him. Gareth tries to drink them all at once. He then pulls out more coins. A-Dom: You boat is now an island. Sorry. It’s not getting out. You know when you were in school, and you would fall asleep... Jade’s Luck: I would never fall asleep during... A-Dom: ...and one time I fell asleep and had a nightmare that they were telling me about water that flows over land, it’s called a River. I think this is one of them. So things get stuck. If they want to kill us, we are stuck, because this island is very big. A-Dom then punches holes in the hollow island so the water can go threw. Jade’s Luck starts to map the river so she can sell the maps. Tiger: I think to get away without getting killed, we’ll have to give the maps away for free. Eventually Gareth gets the bartender to start bringing him barrels. Tiger: This isn’t an island. This is land that surrounds water. A-Dom: So all the men go to the middle to do work? Jade’s Luck: Yes. But lets chart this now, then we’ll deal with your whole repentance thing later. A-Dom: I’d turn to Gareth now, but he’s not here. Jade’s Luck then talks to the Spokesman and blames the Wyld for everything. A-Dom: They must have a lot of hungry people. There won’t be enough fish to go around. Jade’s Luck goes looking for Gareth, and finds him in a bar, next to a pile of empty kegs. Jade’s Luck: We don’t need a repetition of that right now. We have to chart the river. We need a boat. Gareth starts to cry. Jade’s Luck: Aren’t you the one who builds them? Gareth (Still crying): What’s the point? My boats are cursed! I build one it gets broken. I build one it gets stolen. I build one it gets broken. I build one it gets broken. Jade’s Luck: *cough* A-Dom *cough* Gareth: Where the hell are we? Jade’s Luck: Nexus Gareth: Where the hell is that? Jade’s Luck: The East. You know our families. We won’t be seeing them for a while. Don’t worry we only need to go past the Blessed Isle to get back. Jade’s Luck & Tiger: We can drop in on Jahar’s kid along the way. A-Dom makes a boat out of mud and gives it to Gareth. A-Dom: I’m sorry. But look at the bright side. There is lots of trees here. Lots of materials. We can make the next one out of rubber tree plants. Gareth: Remember how we got drunk for a year? A-Dom: You want to do that? Gareth: Yes! A-Dom: First, we need a pool... Jade’s Luck: I’d like to get back to my mother a little sooner then that. Tiger: You don’t have to wait for us. A-Dom: We need a magic barrel... Tiger can help. A booze barrel artifact. Gareth has the Craft, Tiger has the Occult, A-Dom has the desire... A Magic Beer Barrel was planned. Gareth (Very quite and sad): I’m going to miss the mice. A-Dom: No... no... no.. NO! Jade’s Luck: Maybe they survived... Tiger: The Pirates wouldn’t have left the Mice behind! They value their lives. A-Dom runs off to find the mice. They have tied one of the crew members to a tree, and appear to be planning a sacrifice. A-Dom: Mice! Mice! Cannibalistic Voodoo Mice Shaman: Oogah Chacka, Oogah Chacka! A-Dom: No Oogah Chacka, Oogah Chacka right now. No. Shaman: Shwoona! (Makes thrusting justures with his spear) A-Dom: Shwoona? Shaman: Shwoona! Shwoona! A-Don: No, No Shwoona! A-Dom cuts the crew members free and carries him off. Tiger (to Jade’s Luck): This is all your fault. Jade’s Luck: How exactly is THIS my fault that we are in nexus? Tiger: Because we choose to blame you. A-Dom keeps having a long argument with the voodoo shaman mouse. Despite nether of them speaking the same language. A-Dom eventually calms the mice down, and figures out they are freaked out by the lack of water, and want to perform a sacrifice to bring the water back. A-Dom sadly agrees with them. A-Dom takes the Cannibalistic Voodoo Mice back to Gareth. A-Dom: I found the mice! Gareth makes them little tables and mugs and gives them beer. The bartender is totally freaked out. But Gareth keeps giving him money. Ryan: We want to make an ever-full barrel of beer. Not an Infinite Barrel of Beer. Because that would cause us to be running around screaming: What do we do? What do we do? It’s just spraying beer everywhere! It won’t stop! There is only so much I can :):):):) up in one session. Tiger plans out an ever-full barrel of beer require: Skull of a Brewer Perfect Beer Barrel 5 gallons of beer (flavoring) Blessing of a spirit related to Beer production +Put it together in the right way. While mapping the river, Jade’s Luck quizzes A-Dom about the deal he made with the Duke. A-Dom: I know nothing, NOTHING! Jade’s Luck: So everything’s my fault still? A-Dom: Not everything. Some things might be other people’s fault. Some people who might have been born near the Dom sea, might take the blame for some things. They then give the charts to the Spokesman. The Spokesman tells them that he has to talk to his superiors, and there will probably be a fine. Spokesman: Don’t leave town right away. A-Dom: I can’t. I broke the boat. Jade’s Luck: Duke Dew-Key might have something to do with it. I believe you met him. A-Dom: Oh yea, the little guy. We fought. I did my best. Jade’s Luck double botches her roll to notice him lying through his teeth. Ryan: Other then landing in Nexus, this game is going very well. Gareth learns Cannibalistic Voodoo Mice as a language. While they (him and the mice) are drunk. Well, the mice anyway. Gareth couldn’t seem to get drunk no matter what he drank. The group then wastes a lot of time trying to collect these ingredients. But other then having Gareth make the perfect Barrel (out of a few remaining parts of first age ship parts, and a few good trees). They don’t do anything other then scare some local brewers. (This sums up an entire hour of the game.) They start arguing about death rituals, since they don’t know if people are cremated, or buried around here. Jade’s Luck is sent to find out. She finds out about Sijan, city of tombs. She gets directions to the Morticians Order. She finds out more about Sijan and gets a brochure. Liz: I’m trying to not scare bureaucrats with my creepy requests for people’s skulls. Dan: I suppose we can kill just one, as long as it’s not wanton violence. Liz: Umm... umm... umm... killing someone at random is the definition of wanton violence especially if you just want their skull. Jade’s Luck eventually finds out about the dangerous Anathema Tombs in Sijan. Which greatly upsets her, knowing it will make A-Dom very happy. Jade’s Luck then explains this to the group. Jade’s Luck: So there is this city 800 miles north of here, where they keep their dead people. It also looks like there are places of interest within this city. As there are Anathema tombs. A-Dom: Really? Are they labeled? Jade’s Luck shows them the brochure. There is a Tomb of blood, knives, and The Wretched Tomb. Gareth: Now remember, not everything is for you. A-Dom: Yes, but then there will be notes. Jade’s Luck: You see they don’t like angry anathema ghosts, so you have to respectfully steal their stuff. [/QUOTE]
