23:41:41 < Ruthas> Not when they're /simulated/ people!

23:58:09  * Ruthas goes up!
23:59:08  * DM [crap I didn't have this figured out well]
23:59:27 < Ruthas> So I figure it's not good to actually think about how this stuff happens. Just move on and accept it.

Day changed to 02 May 2009

00:09:31  * Ruthas gets to the bottom, I assume
00:09:49 < DM> [luckily monks are good at holding their breath]
00:10:00  * Shonikado is a malivari. At worst, drowning means he's knocked out.
00:10:03 < DM> [shonik might be sinking with that armor though, so I hope you're holding him]

00:32:56  * Shonikado hands it to Ruthas
00:32:58 < Ruthas> [XD]
00:33:12  * Ruthas puts Shonikado down, then starts to climb onto the beast
00:33:24  * Shonikado hums quietly.
00:33:28  * DM the beast wakes up!
00:33:31 <%Shonikado> ...
00:33:39 < Ruthas> !
00:33:41  * Shonikado shrugs and begins humming at normal volume as it does not matter anymore
00:33:42  * DM climbing ONTO it probably wasn't the best idea
00:33:49  * DM the sound of dice rolling is heard
00:33:57 < Ruthas> [Oh dammit D:]
00:34:01 <%Shonikado> [shat]
00:34:04 <%Shonikado> [1-5 plz]
00:34:05 < Ruthas> Sh-Shonik! It's awake!
00:34:12 <%Shonikado> *humming*-
00:34:17 <%Shonikado> I noticed, I noticed
00:34:20 <%Shonikado> *humming.*
00:34:24 < Ruthas> ...
00:34:25 < DM> [Fighting order: Shonik, Dragon, Ruthas, Dragon]
00:34:37  * Shonikado has no fffffxcking weapon
00:34:41 < DM> [But Ruthas gets a bonus first move because she's on it]
00:34:45 < DM> Your move, Ruthas!
00:35:04  * Ruthas stabs the sword into the dragon!
00:35:14 <%Shonikado> [*1*]
00:35:23 <%Shonikado> [<Serpent> So I take it you didn't grind at all.]
00:35:26 < DM> [12]
00:36:00  * DM the serpant screams and begins to uncoil. it starts moving towards the water, taking the sword with it. Ruthas falls off.
00:36:08 <%Shonikado> ...!
00:36:10 <%Shonikado> H-hey!
00:36:12  * Ruthas falls down "Oof!"
00:36:16 <%Shonikado> I NEED that sword and you lost it!
00:36:23 <%Shonikado> D:
00:36:24  * DM the serpent is now in the water, and you two are on the platform in the center
00:36:27  * Ruthas grabs onto the rope that was attached to the sword, and gives it a mighty tug
00:36:33  * Ruthas if it's still there
00:36:44 < DM> [you tied your rope to it?]
00:36:50 <%Shonikado> [grappling hook, remember?]
00:36:52 < Ruthas> [Yup]
00:37:31  * DM the sword is pulled out of the dragon
00:37:40 < DM> Shonik, your turn.
00:37:40 <%Shonikado> [yay/baw.]
00:37:45  * Shonikado takes his sword.
00:37:51  * Ruthas removes the rope
00:37:51 <%Shonikado> Well.
00:37:56  * DM the dragon is currently submerged
00:37:59  * Shonikado thinks.
00:38:09 < Ruthas> Wait, I have an idea.
00:38:12 <%Shonikado> Yeah?
00:38:17  * Ruthas ties the rope to /Shonikado/
00:38:21 <%Shonikado> ...
00:38:31  * DM somehow the rope refuses to tie
00:38:31 <%Shonikado> this seems like it's going to be completely painful
00:38:33 <%Shonikado> ...
00:38:34 < DM> Sorry, not your turn
00:38:36 < Ruthas> ...
00:38:45 <%Shonikado> ... Oooookay
00:38:45 < Ruthas> Hey! I'm not attacking!
00:38:57  * Shonikado takes out the gold ring, the torches, and his broken wooden shield
00:39:04 < DM> He could tie it to himself
00:39:04 <%Shonikado> ... Hmmm...
00:39:08 <%Shonikado> ...
00:39:10 < Ruthas> ...
00:39:11 <%Shonikado> Oh, fine
00:39:12 < Ruthas> Yeah do that.
00:39:18  * Shonikado puts the stuff away, and takes the rope
00:39:31 < Ruthas> So I can't do /anything/ this turn huh?
00:39:32  * Shonikado wraps it around himself, tying a knot eventually
00:39:33 <%Shonikado> Fine
00:39:36 <%Shonikado> there
00:39:43 < DM> Not really.
00:39:56  * Ruthas grabs the rope "Oh whoops, I thought this was my weapon."
00:40:03 < Ruthas> Ah! A fly!
00:40:08 <%Shonikado> ...?
00:40:22  * Ruthas tugs the rope back then throws it forward, hoping to swing Shonikado over the side
00:40:27  * DM the rope slips out of your hands as you try to swing it
00:40:33 < Ruthas> !
00:40:37 <%Shonikado> ...
00:40:46 <%Shonikado> yeah I don't think he's gonna let you be clever
00:40:50 < Ruthas> Hey! I wasn't even trying to attack!
00:40:51 < DM> Hehehe
00:40:52 < Ruthas> <<;;;
00:40:55 <%Shonikado> ...
00:41:02 <%Shonikado> You couldn't tie a rope around me
00:41:10 <%Shonikado> What makes you think it's LIMITED to attacks?
00:41:18  * Ruthas pouts
00:41:23 <%Shonikado> :/
00:41:25 <%Shonikado> So, uh
00:41:28 <%Shonikado> Is it still my turn?
00:41:32 < DM> Yeah
00:41:32  * Shonikado has a rope tied around himself.
00:41:33 <%Shonikado> ...
00:41:40 <%Shonikado> Cool, I guess
00:41:43 < DM> Tying the rope around yourself isn't enough to consume your turn
00:41:45 <%Shonikado> What do you think I should do, Ruthas?
00:41:51 <%Shonikado> I've got my own ideas, but
00:41:53 < Ruthas> Hmm...
00:41:55 <%Shonikado> I've got this rope and all
00:42:09 < Ruthas> I have a question voice.
00:42:16 < DM> ...
00:42:19 <%Shonikado> I have an exclamation voice!
00:42:20 <%Shonikado> Like this!
00:42:30 < Ruthas> [fff]
00:42:33 <%Shonikado> [I'm sorry I had to do that]
00:42:34 < Ruthas> [I have a question, Voice.]
00:42:37 < DM> [AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!]
00:42:42 <%Shonikado> [XD Jer]
00:42:52 < Ruthas> If I simply ran across the platform, does that count as an action?
00:43:34  * Shonikado takes out the ring, torches, and broken shield while Ruthas questions authority
00:44:10 <%Shonikado> [ DM ?]
00:44:12 < DM> You can move around, yes
00:44:36 < Ruthas> Alright. So Shonikado, do /not/ tie the other end of the rope to my leg.
00:44:48  * Shonikado wonders if he can create a makeshift super weapon out of his stuff!
00:44:49 <%Shonikado> 'k
00:44:50 < Ruthas> I'm going to look away now...
00:44:53  * Ruthas looks away
00:45:01  * Shonikado obeys Ruthas
00:45:04 < Ruthas> ...
00:45:07  * Shonikado In the way she DOESN'T want
00:45:09 < DM> [ROFL]
00:45:16 < Ruthas> What are you not doing?
00:45:17 <%Shonikado> Hmm...
00:45:20 <%Shonikado> Shh
00:45:23 <%Shonikado> I'm onto something
00:45:32  * Ruthas sighs, leaning down at this
00:45:59 < Ruthas> I could try and melt the ring...but I don't know if that counts as something.
00:46:08 <%Shonikado> probably an action hold on hold on
00:46:11 < Ruthas> Voice, can I melt the ring?
00:47:06 <%Shonikado> ... Oh, screw it
00:47:11 < DM> Not on his turn
00:47:21 <%Shonikado> I don't have the necessary mechanical pieces to complete a torch drill addition for this sword
00:47:29 < DM> ...
00:47:33 < Ruthas> Hmm.
00:47:42 < Ruthas> Alright then Shonik, just jump down, stab it, then come back.
00:47:44 <%Shonikado> ...
00:47:46 <%Shonikado> Righto!
00:47:54  * Shonikado puts his items back in his inventory
00:48:14  * Shonikado leaps down into the water, sword held above his head!
00:48:21 <%Shonikado> *sploosh.*
00:48:30  * Shonikado looks below into the watery depths!
00:48:36 < Ruthas> [Hey. Where do we see all of the TCD Logo images?]
00:48:59 <%Shonikado> [ http://leonardompd.drshnaps.com/wiki/ ]
00:49:06  * DM it is too dark for you to see!
00:49:28 <%Shonikado> ... >:/
00:49:51  * Shonikado leaps out of the water, landing in his original position again
00:49:58 <%Shonikado> This is frustrating!
00:50:06 < DM> You could always just end your turn if you can't think of anything.
00:50:09 <%Shonikado> ...
00:50:21  * Shonikado takes out the ring and slips it on his finger
00:50:22 <%Shonikado> There
00:50:31 <%Shonikado> I equip this ring thingy
00:50:36 <%Shonikado> I end my turn now
00:50:40  * DM suddenly Shonikado is filled with knowledge of the ring's magical abilities:
00:50:48  * Shonikado Hold that end-turn-thought
00:50:57 < Ruthas> [*Sadly, it is an onion ring*]
00:51:02  * Shonikado got distracted by knowledge and DIDN'T ACTUALLY SAY THAT LAST BIT
00:51:18  * DM it is a Ring of Rage; activating it will increase double your size and power for three turns; but it can only be used once a day
00:51:27 <%Shonikado> ...
00:51:34 <%Shonikado> Oh dear
00:51:43 <%Shonikado> If this belonged to that fat lady, and she used it...
00:51:44 <%Shonikado> ...
00:51:49 <%Shonikado> She'd be HUGE
00:51:49 <%Shonikado> D8
00:52:03 <%Shonikado> [MASSIVE proportions]
00:52:05 <%Shonikado> Okay well
00:52:08 <%Shonikado> I end my turn now
00:52:15  * DM the dragon's head bursts out of the water near Ruthas, and lunges straight at her, jaws open!
00:52:22 <%Shonikado> OH SNAP
00:52:23 < Ruthas> !
00:52:32  * DM your are welcome to defend, dodge, or counterattack
00:52:45  * Ruthas COUNTERATTACKS by punching the dragon in the snout to establish authority
00:52:57 <%Shonikado> [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGsLkQ0vRgc ]
00:53:09 < DM> [Dragon: 14, You: 9]
00:53:20 <%Shonikado> [oh shit.]
00:53:28 <%Shonikado> [no superiority is established.]
00:53:32 < Ruthas> [Oh dammit]
00:53:43 < Ruthas> [DIE SAPPIN MY SUPERIORITY]
00:53:49  * DM you manage to strike the dragon, but it's not enough to stop its own attack
00:54:20  * Ruthas ...wasn't it trying to EAT me?
00:54:21 <%Shonikado> ._.
00:54:24  * DM it picks you up in its mouth, one of its teeth piercing your leg
00:54:32 < Ruthas> !!!
00:54:34  * Shonikado DON'T QUESTION IT
00:54:36 <%Shonikado> OH GODS
00:54:37 <%Shonikado> D8
00:54:45 < DM> It's your turn, Ruthas
00:54:48 < Ruthas> SH-SHONIK!
00:54:57 <%Shonikado> [<Ruthas> Oh, I dunno what to do with my turn]
00:55:00 <%Shonikado> [<Ruthas> Skip me]
00:55:05 <%Shonikado> [<Serpent> om nom nom]
00:55:20  * Ruthas attempts to remove her leg from the tooth
00:55:45 < Ruthas> [I just realized how funny Eldred could've been in this RP.]

00:55:53 <%Shonikado> [MEDIC]

00:56:42  * Ruthas staggers back, holding her leg
00:56:49 <%Shonikado> That looks like it hurt! D:

01:01:02  * DM okay, so you are now both on the opposite side of the platform from the dragon's head
01:01:31  * DM the serpent begins crawling forward across the platform

01:03:00  * DM luckily for you, the serpent completely fucks up its attack. It lunges right past you and into the water beyond
01:03:12  * Shonikado fucks up HIS attack probably
01:03:13 <%Shonikado> @_@
01:03:14  * DM your counterattack missed too
01:03:39 < Ruthas> Is...there any way to heal?
01:03:40  * DM it is now Shonikado's turn; the serpent's tail is still on the platform
01:03:49  * Ruthas sits down
01:03:52 < DM> Um, well, you could have bought potions when you had a chance
01:04:04 < DM> Wait, your a monk

01:04:22 <%Shonikado> Hey hey I have a question
01:04:25 < DM> So, you can spend a turn meditating to heal yourself
01:04:27 <%Shonikado> Does raging out cost a turn?
01:04:32 < Ruthas> Oh.
01:04:41 < DM> No it doesn't.
01:04:47 < DM> Althought it does have to be your turn when you use it.
01:04:54 < DM> Which it is.

01:05:20  * DM his helmet pops off though
01:05:26 <%Shonikado> ...
01:05:29 <%Shonikado> I looked silly in that thing anyway
01:05:31  * DM apparently it doesn't grow with him
01:05:35 <%Shonikado> ... ANYWAY
01:05:43  * Shonikado takes his now knife-sized shortsword
01:06:02  * Shonikado leaps up and STABS IT DOWN INTO THE BEAST THAT MUST BE KILLED
01:06:18 < DM> [I assume you mean its tail?]
01:06:22  * Shonikado Yeah.
01:07:00  * DM the beast screams in agony, and begins pulling away into the water, sword in tow
01:07:09  * Shonikado is holding into his sword!
01:07:09  * DM wanna try pulling it out?
01:07:26  * DM success!
01:07:31  * Shonikado :D
01:07:51 < DM> [I actually rolled a 2 the first time for your attack. You better be happy I re-rolled]

01:08:16 < DM> [Jon was never here]
01:08:18 <%Shonikado> [PG didn't go anywhere. He never came.]
01:08:46 <%Modesto> [Exactly]
01:08:51  * DM the dragon's head surfaces again ... but it's way on the other side of the platform from you two (I rolled a 1)
01:08:57 <%Modesto> [the fuck is he]
01:09:00 < DM> Ruthas' turn
01:09:07 < Ruthas> I'll meditate...

01:09:24  * DM Ruthas' wound heals
01:09:40  * DM the serpent's turn again ... it lunges across the platform at Ruthas!
01:09:50 < Ruthas> !!!
01:09:51  * DM what will you do this time?
01:10:00  * Ruthas attempts to dodge!
01:11:17  * DM your dodge is mostly successful, in that you manage to avoid the sharp mouth of teeth; however, you are still hit by its body, sending you rolling sideways
01:11:35  * Ruthas rolls across the platform and into the water~
01:11:47  * DM and now the dragon's body is mostly on the platform, on Shonik's turn
01:11:58  * Ruthas is drowning! I would save her
01:11:59  * DM you are still raged out
01:12:06  * Shonikado YOU CAN SWIM
01:12:11 < Ruthas> [Oh wait]
01:12:14  * DM hey, you made her roll into the water, not me
01:12:17 < Ruthas> [Am I healed completely?]
01:12:27 < DM> [yes]
01:12:34  * Ruthas pulls herself up then
01:12:37 < DM> [except perhaps a bruising just now, but nothing major]
01:13:08 <%Shonikado> ...
01:13:08  * DM what will you do, Shonikado?
01:13:12  * Shonikado What about the head?
01:13:19  * DM it is exposed
01:13:29 <%Shonikado> RAGING OOOOOOOOOOUT
01:13:29  * DM almost its entire body is on the platform
01:13:36  * DM you're already raged out
01:13:40  * Shonikado It's just...
01:13:42  * DM it lasts for three turns
01:13:44  * Shonikado Fun to yell, really
01:13:59  * Shonikado leaps at the beast's head with his sword held dagger-like!
01:14:05  * DM the serpent looks at you as you ye-
01:14:06 <%Shonikado> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
01:14:12  * Shonikado STABBIN' TIME

01:14:29 <%Shonikado> [Serpent: 4-uck my life]
01:14:42  * DM your blade is plunged right into the dragon's eye!
01:14:48 <%Shonikado> TAKE THAT
01:14:49 < Ruthas> ...
01:14:55 <%Shonikado> YOU'VE BEEN RAGED
01:14:57  * DM it screams and writhes in pain
01:14:58 <%Shonikado> ...
01:15:02 <%Shonikado> I SUCK AT CATCH PHRASES
01:15:12 <%Shonikado> Okay let's try a different one
01:15:14  * DM serpent's turn, and it lunges for Shonikado again
01:15:21  * Shonikado is on its face with his sword in its eye
01:15:25  * Shonikado Lunging is difficult
01:15:36  * DM you're still on its face?
01:15:41  * Shonikado I figured I'd be.
01:15:46  * DM then it plunges into the water, dragging you with it
01:15:57 < Ruthas> !
01:15:59 < Ruthas> Shonikado!
01:16:00  * Shonikado attempts to pull it out and jump off the beast then maybeh
01:16:17 < DM> [you got a 1 for pulling it out]
01:16:21 <%Shonikado> [shot]
01:16:30 < DM> [13 for escape]
01:16:38  * DM Shonikado resurfaces, but without his sword
01:16:52 <%Shonikado> ...
01:16:55 <%Shonikado> ;~;
01:16:59  * DM it is Ruthas' turn
01:17:06 < Ruthas> I have a question.
01:17:15 < Ruthas> What about /Dual/ attacks?
01:17:19 <%Shonikado> ....
01:17:24 <%Shonikado> NOT
01:17:25 <%Shonikado> AGAINST
01:17:25  * DM also Shonikado is welcome to climb out of the water during Ruthas' turn
01:17:30 <%Shonikado> A FREAKING /WATER DRAGON/
01:17:41 < Ruthas> Of course not that, you're too big.
01:17:43 < DM> Dual attacks would require one of you to prepare on their turn, and the other to execute
01:17:43  * Shonikado climbs out
01:17:53 <%Shonikado> ...
01:17:56 <%Shonikado> Well what then.
01:18:04 < DM> So in other words you'd both have to spend a turn on it
01:18:05  * Shonikado still has a rope tied around him (although it's a bit tight)
01:18:55 < Ruthas> Alright, I'll need to execute. So prepare on your next turn.
01:19:02 <%Shonikado> ...
01:19:04 < Ruthas> Skip my turn.
01:19:07 <%Shonikado> What
01:19:48 < Ruthas> One of us needs to prepare
01:19:55 < Ruthas> The other needs to execute
01:20:13 <%Shonikado> No I mean
01:20:15 <%Shonikado> what are you doing
01:20:29 < Ruthas> You'll have to wait for next turn~
01:20:32 <%Shonikado> ...
01:20:47 < DM> How will he know how to prepare then?
01:20:55 < Ruthas> ...
01:21:15  * Ruthas does she still have her little items?
01:21:21 <%Shonikado> ...
01:21:25  * Ruthas flare crackers, wire, etc.
01:21:51  * DM no
01:22:03  * Ruthas aw, then this dual tech will be less powerful ;;
01:22:03  * DM you have two torches and you HAD a rope
01:22:36 < Ruthas> Alright Shonik, just dodge the attack if it comes towards you. We're both gonna need to be at high health...
01:23:03  * DM the dragon's head emerges, right next to Ruthas!
01:23:09 <%Shonikado> ...
01:23:13  * DM it lunges again. This is getting old.
01:23:15 < Ruthas> !!
01:23:16 <%Shonikado> I'D RATHER JUST STAB IT
01:23:32  * Ruthas attempts to punch it
01:23:33  * DM your sword is still stuck in its eye
01:23:44  * Ruthas punches /the sword/
01:23:47 < DM> [Dragon: 1, You: 15]
01:23:50  * Ruthas to be more precise
01:23:51 < Ruthas> [HO SNAP]
01:23:59  * DM the sword is punched further into the dragon's skull!
01:24:11  * DM it begins screaming and flipping out all over the platform
01:24:22  * DM then ... it becomes still
01:24:27 < Ruthas> ...
01:24:35  * Shonikado [thanks god]
01:24:39  * DM the dragon is dead!
01:24:44 < Ruthas> ... :(
01:25:07 < DM> What are you so sad about? You just killed it with a totally kick-ass move
01:25:27 < Ruthas> I know, but I wanted to kill it with an even more kick-ass move.
01:25:40 < DM> Maybe next time
01:25:44 < Ruthas> ...
01:25:45 < Ruthas> What
01:25:47 < Ruthas> No
01:25:48  * DM Shonikado and Ruthas level up!
01:25:49 < Ruthas> No next time.
01:25:52 < Ruthas> I want to go home!
01:25:56 <%Shonikado> Woo.
01:26:16  * Shonikado retrieves his sword somehow
01:26:17  * DM suddenly the platform begins shifting
01:26:32 <%Shonikado> ?
01:26:38  * DM it starts rising, towards a hold in the ceiling you may not have noticed before
01:26:50 < Ruthas> ...
01:27:06  * DM inside this hole there are a bunch of skeletons; earlier victims of the dragon
01:27:15  * DM but there is also a large treasure chest
01:27:33 <%Shonikado> :.!
01:27:35 <%Shonikado> Treasure
01:27:37 <%Shonikado> TREASURE!
01:28:08 < DM> Yeah, treasure.
01:28:10  * Ruthas walks over to the treasure chest
01:28:19  * Shonikado is NO LONGER RAGED OUT I hope
01:28:23  * Ruthas opens it
01:28:27 < Ruthas> [!!!]
01:28:32  * DM you are, actually
01:28:35 < Ruthas> [HAHAH, SUCKERS!]
01:28:52  * DM inside the treasure chest is ...
01:28:55 < DM> 50 gold
01:29:01 < Ruthas> ....
01:29:07 < DM> a mirror shield
01:29:12 < Ruthas> =o
01:29:13 <%Shonikado> !!
01:29:19 <%Shonikado> Mirror shield?!
01:29:25 <%Shonikado> That sounds awesome!
01:29:27  * Ruthas takes the mirror shield
01:29:40 <%Shonikado> I wonder what kinds of things I could make with it
01:29:47 < Ruthas> A shield made out of a mirror sounds very...redundant.
01:29:51 < DM> a matching pair of gauntlets; leather, but with a green jewel attached to each one
01:30:05  * Ruthas tosses the shield to Shonikado
01:30:12  * Shonikado catches the shield, equipping it
01:30:14 < Ruthas> Hey look, something green.
01:30:18 < DM> A helmet which looks identical to Shonik's, but gold instead of iron
01:30:23  * Shonikado takes the helmet
01:30:26  * Ruthas equips the gauntlets
01:30:35  * Shonikado retrieved his helmet earlier by the way
01:30:53  * DM as you equip the guantlets, you know of their magic attributes, like the ring
01:31:11  * DM they allow you to fire energy from your fists when you perform punching attacks
01:31:18 < Ruthas> ...
01:31:38 < Ruthas> [Because it would totally be out of character...]
01:31:40  * DM their called Wind Guantlets btw
01:31:49 < Ruthas> [<Ruthas> /Fucking/ awesome]
01:31:54 < Ruthas> Oh, neat.
01:31:56  * DM let's see, what else ...
01:32:13  * Shonikado takes 25 pieces of gold
01:32:18  * Ruthas can get something defensive maybeh?
01:32:28  * DM a striped headband
01:32:29  * Shonikado hands the rest to Ruthas, the other 25 pieces
01:32:34 < Ruthas> ...
01:33:12  * DM the headband improves aim and dodging
01:33:31 <%Shonikado> [Dexterity and Accuracy?]
01:33:37  * Ruthas equips the headband!
01:33:38 <%Shonikado> [+1 I assume]
01:33:41  * DM and finally, a statue made of jade, that looks a lot like the dragon you just killed
01:33:56 < DM> [technically Accuracy and Dodging are both Dex]
01:33:57  * Shonikado gives the rope back to Ruthas
01:34:02 <%Shonikado> [Okay just dex+1 then]
01:34:09 < DM> [yeah]
01:34:10 <%Shonikado> [headband name?]
01:34:36 < DM> [Fighter's Band]
01:35:12  * DM are you all done dividing stuff?
01:35:26  * Shonikado picks up the dragon statue
01:35:27 <%Shonikado> :.
01:35:48  * DM as you pick up the statue, the area around you fades to white again
01:35:54 <%Shonikado> !
01:35:55 < Ruthas> ...
01:36:05  * Shonikado Can I put it in my inventory or is it gone?
01:36:12  * DM it's gone
01:36:51  * DM as the scenery fades back in, you find yourselves sitting on a table in someone's basement
01:36:59 <%Shonikado> [ http://shonikado.drshnaps.com/Inventory.txt ]
01:37:08 <%Shonikado> [yeah so there]
01:37:11  * DM there is a boy in a red wizard's hat holding the statue you just found
01:37:18 <%Shonikado> ... Hey!
01:37:20 < Ruthas> ...
01:37:38  * DM on one side of the table there is a guy that looks like Captain Planet in a tophat
01:37:43 <%Shonikado> [XD]
01:37:55 < Ruthas> ...
01:38:02 < Ruthas> [ (>^.(>O_O)>. TAKE IT. ]
01:38:11  * DM the other side is another Shonikado, covered in cheetos powder
01:38:26 <%Shonikado> ...
01:38:31 <%Shonikado> Hi Taiko!
01:38:35 <%Shonikado> :D
01:38:39 < Ruthas> ...
01:38:44 < Ruthas> That's not Taiko...
01:38:46 < DM> Thank you, very much.
01:38:53 <%Shonikado> <Taiko> Well fuck you too Ruthas.
01:38:55  * Shonikado Taiko storms out
01:39:00 < Ruthas> ...
01:39:02  * DM is the guy in the red wizard hat
01:39:05 < DM> You can go now
01:39:13 <%Shonikado> ... What WAS that, though?
01:39:14 < Ruthas> Wait, thank us?
01:39:16 < Ruthas> For what?
01:39:20  * DM *poof*, you're in the bar
01:39:23 <%Shonikado> ...
01:39:24 <%Shonikado> Dang it!
01:39:26 < Ruthas> ...
01:39:32  * Ruthas looks around
01:39:33  * Shonikado checks his hammerspace for the shield and rings and stuff!
01:39:42  * DM it's gone!
01:39:45 <%Shonikado> ...
01:39:46 <%Shonikado> Curses!
01:39:48  * DM but all your other stuff is back
01:39:49  * Ruthas looks at her hands!
01:39:55 < Ruthas> Aw
01:40:05  * DM everything you got in the game is gone, but your normal inventory has returned
01:40:16  * Shonikado is relieved to have his goggles again
01:40:23 <%Shonikado> [Oh I just wanna stick my face all over it]
01:40:32 <%Shonikado> [ http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/383728 ]
01:40:43  * Ruthas grabs Shonikado's goggles "What do these do anyways?"
01:40:52 <%Shonikado> Lots of stuff!
01:41:09 < Ruthas> [RP Over?
01:41:11 <%Shonikado> They can zoom in on stuff, night vision, heat vision, take pictures, display pictures it takes
01:41:20 <%Shonikado> which is actually a relatively new feature
01:41:22 < Ruthas> [It's 4:40 here...]
01:41:23 < DM> [yep]
01:41:24 <%Shonikado> and, uh
01:41:31 *** Ruthas is now known as Zeph
01:41:42  * Shonikado goes on for hours discussing what else it can do
01:41:46 < Zeph> Alright, gonna go to bed.
01:41:47 <%Shonikado> Alright then that was fun
01:41:48 < Zeph> Night.
01:41:49 <%Shonikado> night
01:41:51  * DM Shonikado is disturbed to see Ruthas turn into Zeph
