A-dom commented that he was going to be in a dress for a while. Jade’s Luck complemented him on his dress. A-dom thanked her for the complement and went to find a pair of pants.</p><p></p><p>The group got into a discussion about Yew once again. A-dom made the point that Tiger (aka Darius) was possibly the only Circle member to survive the fight with Yew, thus likely got to write the history books about Yew. Therefore the history about Yew was likely very slanted. The conversation meandered to talking about how much an exalt’s caste defines them. A-dom tried to argue that they didn’t, which lead to talking about how Jade’s Luck was defined as a priest and talked to god.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: You talk to god too, it just doesn’t work out as well for you.</p><p></p><p>A-dom: I’m working on a script.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Gareth: Hi [Insert Name Here].</p><p></p><p>A-dom: We could sell it to Lunars too!</p><p></p><p>The group got the ship so that the <em>You Are Here</em> pointer was right over the dot for the Sapphire Sentinel, but they were unsure how close they were, because of the scale of the map.</p><p></p><p>Another long discussion about amount of belief and what Wretch’s definitions were. While they were discussing, A-dom and Tiger noticed a merchant vessel sailing towards the Coral Archipelago off in the distance. Watching it for a little bit, they saw it stop existing and a whirlpool appear below it. It looked like something vaporized it and the water underneath it.</p><p></p><p>A-dom: Yeah. We need a scuba suit and a nonbeliever.</p><p></p><p>This idea was quickly squashed. He still thought they needed to figure out the Sentinel’s range.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: So, you’re volunteering yourself for the dinghy?</p><p></p><p>A-dom: Hey. Technically, I’m a believer.</p><p></p><p>Gareth suggested they park the boat and row towards the Sentinel in a dinghy. More discussion about level of belief, as well as who could survive an attack. They figured Tiger could possibly dodge it and Gareth could possibly soak it.</p><p></p><p>A-dom gave the map to Foursy, the monkey butler. Foursy tried studying the map, which A-dom encouraged him and told him to figure out the zoom. Jade’s Luck admonished A-dom for being mean to Foursy, which confused everyone. After all, she was standing up for the rights of an abomination.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: It may be an abomination, but we might as well still be polite to it.</p><p></p><p>A-dom turned to Foursy, who was still trying to zoom.</p><p></p><p>A-dom: *sigh* You can stop Foursy. Unless you want to. Feel free. You have free will for the next hour.</p><p></p><p>Foursy immediately ran off.</p><p></p><p>A-dom: Oh god, we’re <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>Jade’s Luck: Do we have a dinghy?</p><p></p><p>Gareth: Of course. We’ve got four dinghies.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck shoved the others into a dinghy and set sail. Once they got to where the whirlpool was, Jade’s Luck and A-dom jumped overboard and looked around underwater. Jade’s Luck noticed the head a bit away from them. She mostly saw the head and figured it was fifty feet tall. A-dom didn’t notice it until they were almost on top of it. It was hard to spot, since it was completely Sapphire Blue, which blended in nicely with the ocean.</p><p></p><p>The Sentinel looked more like an abstract statue of a human with a flat face and rigid features. A-dom waved at the Sentinel. It looked at him for a few seconds and then continued on. It then stopped to inspect a fish, then shrugged and continued.</p><p></p><p>A-dom ordered it to stop. The Sentinel turned around, and they saw it didn’t have a mouth. While A-dom swam up for air, Jade’s Luck inspected the Sentinel. Looking at its arm, she saw one of them ended in a stump instead of a hand.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck didn’t find any access ports on the Sentinel.</p><p></p><p>A-dom came back and ordered it to sit. They got the impression that, if it had an eyebrow, it would be raising it. A-dom then asked it if it could stay there for about ten years. It looked confused at that request. Jades Luck asked if they could communicate with it through twenty questions. It still looked confused. A-dom went up for more air.</p><p></p><p>A-dom (to Tiger and Gareth): Okay. We found it! It doesn’t have a mouth, but it reacts to us. So at least we qualify as believers.</p><p></p><p>Gareth swam down to inspect the Sentinel. He was sure it had no access ports, off buttons conveniently placed dials, Achilles’ heel, or entrances. It was carved from a single slab of sapphire. He also noted it had a big essence cannon for its left hand a normal five fingered hand for its right hand. It appeared to be as flexible as a normal human being was.</p><p></p><p>Gareth swam up and relayed this information, saying he thought it was enchanted instead of mechanical. Tiger swam down to inspected it essence sight. Tiger saw it was very shiny and thought it was recharging the essence cannon. He saw it had a big, glowy thing in its chest, so probably had a Hearthstone or two inside powering it.</p><p></p><p>The Sentinel probably moved about forty to fifty miles a day and was headed towards Atlantis.

DO YOU GUYS NOT UNDERSTAND THIS?</strong></p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: No. You’ve been wearing it since you got it. You put it on, it ate your armor and you’ve been wearing it ever since. It’s been a few days, after all. I just figured Rosewind had a sense of humor. You were calling her a bitch, after all.</p><p></p><p>Tiger: You could get a baggy shirt and shove the dress underneath your pants…</p><p></p><p>Ryan (sad): I wish to buy Conviction 4.</p><p></p><p>Paul: Okay.</p><p></p><p>Ryan: Yes I think dealing with you guys is worth Conviction 4.</p><p></p><p>Alex: Then I should have Conviction 6…</p><p></p><p>Ryan: No, wait, I ant t buy Conviction 4 at some later point.</p><p></p><p>Dan: Cause you don’t usually spend xp willy-nilly?</p><p></p><p>Paul: I think the problem is you have GM with Conviction 5 and I think torturing you is amusing.</p><p></p><p>A-dom took off the dress, then realized they were still in the dinghy and didn’t have a replacement shirt. Now that all of the discussions were done, they rowed back to the boat. Getting back on board, they noticed there were bananas carved <strong>EVERYWHERE</strong>. They were carved fairly deep, too. A-dom started laughing.</p><p></p><p>Gareth told A-dom Foursy would have to remove the bananas with pitch and sandpaper when they got to land. Gareth said that A-dom could leave his own room however he liked it, but the rest of the bananas had to go. A-dom’s room, a little bit of the galley and most of the deck were covered in bananas. Jade’s Luck’s room was left completely alone.</p><p></p><p>Gareth gave one of his marketing shirts to A–dom (had a big G on it).</p><p></p><p>A-dom went on for a bit about buttering up the mothers of his progeny with salt to promote his cult. No one was able to follow his logic.</p><p></p><p>Paul: Sorry. You’ve hit Jahar.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck brought up finding the Wyld zone they created in the Coral Archipelago and fixing it, while they’re there.</p><p></p><p>A-dom: I suggest we don’t dick around and try to stop the thing that is going to kill lots of people.</p><p></p><p>Dan: What game do you think we’re playing??????</p><p></p><p>They decided to go to the Coral Archipelago to find another door to Heaven (the bar where you have to drink whiskey to activate the door). They decided to sail back to Elemental island, use the gate to go to A-dom’s island, then build a boat and set sail from there. This would allow A-dom to look in on his family. Jade’s Luck was convinced to make monkeys for Chuck-Chuck out of most of the <strong><em>Cave of Doom</em></strong>. A-dom wanted some of the Wyld retained so the Doom Spirit would stick around and say doom.</p><p></p><p>Once they got back to Elemental Island, they pulled the ship up onto dry dock and set Foursy to work on fixing his fun. A-dom was fuzzy about fixing his own room. A-dom also set Foursy up with a specific tree out “in the middle of nowhere” that he could carve as much as he wanted.</p><p></p><p>The group gated over to A-dom’s island. His wife was happy to see him. His assorted concubines were happy to see him. Some of the married women were happy to see him. He saw lots of little children running around that he had seen pictures of. He commented about needed lots of ‘I’m sorry’ beer for the husbands.</p><p></p><p>Gareth made some barrels of beer for A-dom so that he could make nice with the husbands. A-dom did not wear his dress for this, but he did have Jade’s Luck being cute and fluffy and helping him saying he was sorry for knocking up their wives.</p><p></p><p>Gareth then went off and made a <strong>Destined For Destruction III</strong>, which was a copy of <strong>II</strong>. Jade’s Luck went and made four polite ninja monkeys that worshipped the Unconquered Sun with most of the <strong><em>Cave of Doom</em></strong>. The Doom Spirit changed his warning to accommodate the reduction on Wyld in the cave.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: Worship the Unconquered Sun! Go forth, my children, with A-dom.</p><p></p><p>With an exceptional perception notice roll (8 successes), A-dom was able to spot two of the ninja monkeys. Jade’s Luck had them line up and introduced him properly. A-dom named them Nin, Ja, Mon, and Key (Nin and Key were female). He handed them leaves and they made ninja masks out of them. A-dom led them to Chuck-Chuck’s village. Chuck-Chuck was suitably impressed. A-dom told Ja and Key that Chuck-Chuck was their new master, should follow his orders and worship the Unconquered Sun. A-dom explained to Chuck-Chuck that they were now his monkeys, but should stay on their good side and also worship the Unconquered Sun. A-dom then wandered of with Mon and Nin.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck came across the poor, stressed out bachelor with the dinosaur/man baby toddler. She brought this to A-dom’s attention. A-dom took the foster father and Diney to Uk-Dad. A-dom explained that Diney was going to be an amazing person when he grew up and there were high hopes for him. He explained that he couldn’t stay and raise the baby himself and the foster father had done all he could to raise him. He asked Uk-Dad to find those to raise the child from here forth and gave him Mon and Nin to help.</p><p></p><p>Uk-Dad: I didn’t know Ninjas were good nurses.</p><p></p><p>A-dom explained that they weren’t, which is why he needed someone beyond them to hug him and ‘naughty word beyond that.’</p><p></p><p>Gareth was asked to reinforce and repair the village, since Diney was in the ‘ramming into things’ stage. Gareth went totemic doing this.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck: So you named him Diney?</p><p></p><p>A-dom: That’s not his given name. It’s just a nickname.</p><p></p><p>A-dom asked the foster father what he had named him. Diney’s name roughly translated into Unholy Terror.</p><p></p><p>At this point, Jade’s Luck pointed out that she was pretty sure Diney was female.</p><p></p><p>A-dom: Ooh. That’s going to be awkward.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck suggested the name Rosewind and A-dom liked it.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck and Gareth proselytized about the glory of the Unconquered Sun to the locals for a week. All in all, the group spent a week and a half on A-dom’s island.</p><p></p><p>They finally set sail for the Coral Archipelago. Every so often, they put the boat on autopilot, ran over to an island to stand on it, and ran back to the boat. They saw an island with a volcano on it, so they tossed Jade’s Luck in to look for the sword. She chatted with the volcano spirits for a little bit, but didn’t find any swords, so they continued on. Along the trip, A-dom realized that taking Rosewind away from her foster father might have counted as an act of compassion. He tried not to act happy about that.</p><p></p><p>After a fairly uneventful journey, they arrived at the main island of the Coral Archipelago. For some reason, all of their cities were inland. The group travelled to Azure, the capital city.</p><p></p><p>The group split up to do their investigations. Jade’s Luck and Tiger went to the market places, A-dom went to the bars, and Gareth went to the governmental buildings.</p><p></p><p>A-dom looked around for friends. After a half an hour, he found One-Leg. They discussed Atlantis and the hurricane and A-dom told him one guy was in charge of the hurricane and he didn’t like the Archipelago. A-dom said he was ruling a couple of islands now and had a mess of kids. He found out there were a bunch of monster coming up from the sewers. One Leg didn’t know of any bars that didn’t have whiskey or had a special with whiskey. He did know two bars where, if you drink whiskey, you get shanghaied.</p><p></p><p>At the governmental buildings, Gareth discretely inquired about doors to heaven and new Wyld zones in the past two and a half years. He got no where with the door to heaven, but found the monsters from the sewers started around that time. Since they sounded like Wyld monsters, Gareth determined that there were different groups of monsters that each had their own areas, so to speak. There were specific safe zones that the monsters didn’t go to, probably because the sewers were designed differently there.</p><p></p><p>Jade’s Luck talked with people, trying to learn the local news and gossip. More news about monsters, lots of local gossip. Status was determined by how much money you had and crime was punished by indentured slavery. The island was patriarchal, with women being second-class citizens (can’t vote, hold title or own land). The current ruler of the island was the Sealord, an outcaste dragon-blood. They worship the Ocean Father, who determines who the Sealord is. If the Ocean Father is angry with them, they have a bad year of piracy. If he is happy, they have a good year of piracy.</p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="Ao the Overkitty, post: 4700649, member: 9758"] [b]Session 64 - A-dom’s Pretty Dress[/b] Session 64 [i]Synopsis of 01/28/08[/i] [b]A-dom’s Pretty Dress Subtitle: Technically, I’m a believer. [i]-By Ao the Overkitty[/i][/b] So the group was on the [b][i]Destined for Destruction II[/i][/b][i][/i] sailing towards the Sapphire Sentinel. A-dom commented that he was going to be in a dress for a while. Jade’s Luck complemented him on his dress. A-dom thanked her for the complement and went to find a pair of pants.

Jade’s Luck: You talk to god too, it just doesn’t work out as well for you. A-dom: I’m working on a script. Gareth: Hi [Insert Name Here]. A-dom: We could sell it to Lunars too! The group got the ship so that the [i]You Are Here[/i] pointer was right over the dot for the Sapphire Sentinel, but they were unsure how close they were, because of the scale of the map. Another long discussion about amount of belief and what Wretch’s definitions were. While they were discussing, A-dom and Tiger noticed a merchant vessel sailing towards the Coral Archipelago off in the distance. Watching it for a little bit, they saw it stop existing and a whirlpool appear below it. It looked like something vaporized it and the water underneath it. A-dom: Yeah.

A-dom explained to Chuck-Chuck that they were now his monkeys, but should stay on their good side and also worship the Unconquered Sun. A-dom then wandered of with Mon and Nin. Jade’s Luck came across the poor, stressed out bachelor with the dinosaur/man baby toddler. She brought this to A-dom’s attention. A-dom took the foster father and Diney to Uk-Dad. A-dom explained that Diney was going to be an amazing person when he grew up and there were high hopes for him. He explained that he couldn’t stay and raise the baby himself and the foster father had done all he could to raise him. He asked Uk-Dad to find those to raise the child from here forth and gave him Mon and Nin to help. Uk-Dad: I didn’t know Ninjas were good nurses. A-dom explained that they weren’t, which is why he needed someone beyond them to hug him and ‘naughty word beyond that.’ Gareth was asked to reinforce and repair the village, since Diney was in the ‘ramming into things’ stage. Gareth went totemic doing this. Jade’s Luck: So you named him Diney? A-dom: That’s not his given name. It’s just a nickname. A-dom asked the foster father what he had named him. Diney’s name roughly translated into Unholy Terror. At this point, Jade’s Luck pointed out that she was pretty sure Diney was female. A-dom: Ooh. That’s going to be awkward. Jade’s Luck suggested the name Rosewind and A-dom liked it. Jade’s Luck and Gareth proselytized about the glory of the Unconquered Sun to the locals for a week. All in all, the group spent a week and a half on A-dom’s island. They finally set sail for the Coral Archipelago. Every so often, they put the boat on autopilot, ran over to an island to stand on it, and ran back to the boat. They saw an island with a volcano on it, so they tossed Jade’s Luck in to look for the sword. She chatted with the volcano spirits for a little bit, but didn’t find any swords, so they continued on. Along the trip, A-dom realized that taking Rosewind away from her foster father might have counted as an act of compassion. He tried not to act happy about that. After a fairly uneventful journey, they arrived at the main island of the Coral Archipelago. For some reason, all of their cities were inland. The group travelled to Azure, the capital city. The group split up to do their investigations. Jade’s Luck and Tiger went to the market places, A-dom went to the bars, and Gareth went to the governmental buildings. A-dom looked around for friends. After a half an hour, he found One-Leg. They discussed Atlantis and the hurricane and A-dom told him one guy was in charge of the hurricane and he didn’t like the Archipelago. A-dom said he was ruling a couple of islands now and had a mess of kids. He found out there were a bunch of monster coming up from the sewers. One Leg didn’t know of any bars that didn’t have whiskey or had a special with whiskey. He did know two bars where, if you drink whiskey, you get shanghaied. At the governmental buildings, Gareth discretely inquired about doors to heaven and new Wyld zones in the past two and a half years. He got no where with the door to heaven, but found the monsters from the sewers started around that time. Since they sounded like Wyld monsters, Gareth determined that there were different groups of monsters that each had their own areas, so to speak. There were specific safe zones that the monsters didn’t go to, probably because the sewers were designed differently there. Jade’s Luck talked with people, trying to learn the local news and gossip. More news about monsters, lots of local gossip. Status was determined by how much money you had and crime was punished by indentured slavery. The island was patriarchal, with women being second-class citizens (can’t vote, hold title or own land). The current ruler of the island was the Sealord, an outcaste dragon-blood. They worship the Ocean Father, who determines who the Sealord is. If the Ocean Father is angry with them, they have a bad year of piracy. If he is happy, they have a good year of piracy. [/QUOTE]
