The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

"Well my curse will help that regard, but it isn't perfect, it'll just slow him down, on the plus side so long as he has my curse I can track him"

"It's OK. I'm sorry. It's just that everyone is siding against him and no one is going to even listen to his side. He says his powers manifested without him knowing, and I believe him. That's what this school is here to help. But even still, everyone is against him. Obviously he feels worse about it than the people it happened to. I'm fine and she's already moved on to sleeping with that other guy."
He offers Mel a hug.
"I'm sorry. You did a really good job with the music. Almost too good. Are you sure you don't have any empathic abilities?"
His last statement is obviously meant as a joke.

"How utterly amazing. So these Heaven and Hell, planes, you can visit with your spells? You've actually studied them as well? Is this plane we are on, does it have a name, or is it one of infinite similar ones, varying in details both macro and micro? Fancy that, religion as we knew it, though our race was only really civilized for a short period of time compared to others, I'm sure, had all this aggression about who's religion was the better or more pure. Thankfully, I never got caught up in that. I always felt that a religious belief was an intimate one with existence. How utterly marvelous. Do you happen to know how old the people of this planet are? I suppose a tour should be in order at one point. A magical society with technology as well, truly remarkable."

She continues to sit there in her prior seated position, while casually talking about reality with Vare.

"So, please tell me more of yourself? How did you come to be a teacher here? Does it pay well as a career?"

Vare nods, relaxing slightly in his chair, discussing the topic to which he was so intimately acquainted. "Indeed, I have a spell which could open a portal to those planes prepared now, though doing so would be reckless considering the setting." he waves absently to the room around them, probably meaning to indicate the school proper. "Even the celestial denizens can take exception to such intrusions into their plane."

He shifts slightly, getting more comfortable in his chair. "The plane we are on now is generally called the material plane, but more specifically, the Prime Material Plane, since as you figure, there are indeed virtually infinitely many planes... one could even make their own Demiplane given the proper preparation and power."

"As for the particulars of the history of Agartha... I am sorry, but that is not my specialty. There are those at the school whom I believe may be better suited for that, including the Head of Security, Ms. Aananda."

"It certainly pays better than not being a teacher, but if one was looking to become very rich, I should not think that teacher would be their path of choice." he says with something of a smile of his face, humour in his tone. "But the school does have a wealth of magical materials for use in research and spell components, which is what I would spend all my gold on before, so there is that benefit."

"No, what I sought here what not gold, but community. The school has a reputation for acceptance, which was difficult for me to find before, given my condition. I have been taken for a madman on more than one occasion."

"Fine, fine, but you got to admit it seems rather unlikely, though I suppose still possible, I guess I'll just have to meet David and decide for myself at that juncture, where is he anyway?"

Carl belches and tucks into another hot dog.
With his mouth full he says
"Beff innnf hhhum arrn uooo goo argggth"
Nodding at Arthur and the Ice cat.

Laughing good naturedly, Maya says, "Well, that is just unfortunate about anyone prior calling you daft. How did you happen upon the school and a position, however? I'm curious at the recruiting methods, of faculty and student alike."

Smiling after a moment she adds, "I do appreciate your time, incidentally. Very considerate and kind of you to spend it with this fish out of water. You are quite the gentleman. I hope my questions aren't adding to your madness?" The word used in a clearly teasing manner.

After the song and the current conversation, Tryko'Sam rises up and stretches.

"Hey, Carl, thanks for the offer for company earlier, enjoy your meal. We'll have to meet up for a ship tour at some point later. I'm going to go stretch my legs and stuff. Feeling restless. Nice to see you folks again. Vickory, catch your slick self later. Peace, y'all."

With that said, he grabs his drink and heads for the cafeteria again, to go refill his drink and wander off.

"Any time lad, I'm always up for a drink"

He taps his forehead in salut at Sam.

Vickory gives Tryko'Sam a confused look when he calls her slick, followed by a quick look at her finely scaled skin (which look a bit like a shark's or manta rays scales) A moment later she looks at Carl, "Indeed, I also would love to see your ship, if you are willing. I particularly would love to see how the spell matrices compare to the hastily built ones we used to cross the Great Sea. Is it a water ship or a flying ship?" Vickory seems excited at the prospect.

"It's not unlikely. It happened to me. Not the same thing, but new powers happening without you trying are never good. I'm sure it's happened to a lot of people."
He gives a wave to Tryko'Sam as he leaves, a little disappointed that one of his friends is leaving.
His ears lower slightly as he draws the conclusion that Tryko'Sam might be leaving because he's upset with him.
"What did you say before?" He asks Carl.

"Indeed, I also would love to see your ship, if you are willing. I particularly would love to see how the spell matrices compare to the hastily built ones we used to cross the Great Sea. Is it a water ship or a flying ship?" Vickory seems excited at the prospect.

She looks up and then puts his hot-dog down so he can talk. He talks with pride.

"Well lass me ships more a kind of punch is its way through any things kind of ship. See The HammerShaft ant fast by any idea or prettily looking, It's non to quite to. The best way to think about her is as a flying bunker. She was made to go places that ant to healthy to be in. Like the molten metal seas you get on some rocks worlds close in to suns. Or deep down in gas giants guts where ya kind find some nice, elements to mine. See that was she's for lass mining. But not here mining where is all nice and warm with an Atmoss world. No mining where the hard to get to stuff is. Gems as big as this school, H3 blowing out from cores of comets at ballistic speeds. That's what she was made for."

She takes a draft of his coffee

"And She's well built to, got back ups to the back ups to the back ups and back ups on to of that, I don't even no how many. So She's got more than one spell matrix powering her, and TinMan tells me she even a back up power unit some place that don't use magic at all. Runs on some kind fusion. Ill have to find that oneday. As for water ship"

He brakes out in a gaffor

"She flouts like a lead brick in water but You sit her in a volcano lake of molten rock and she's right at home. She's got a great big laser on her for cutting rock an stiff but its nee use in a fight. Take's hours just to aim and power up the thing. She got a mechanical brain but it ant to smart, don't need to be for mining, all it needs to do is never ever brake down will I'm up to my butt in mess I need to dig me self out of. She's Smelly and cramp full of mining kit, ale kegs and old tools. In other words she's a Dwarf ship and a good one at that. She dos the job the way the job needs to be done and nothing more than that, less. Now your know what shes like I would be happy to show you around if ya like."

Mel waves bye to Sam as he leaves.

After her song and returning the PA back to normal. Mel takes a seat listening to Carl brag about his ship. or rather describe its flaws.

Ya know Carl, with a description like that its no wonder ya need a robot for a co-pilot. she says with a wink toward Arthur.

"Hey I help with the piloting, and he's right it does have power, but I kinda like my ships to at least have the option of going around the obstacles instead of through them."

"Ill have ya know more than one Dwarf lass has spent the night there. One even said it was homely, mind you she got off the next place we stopped."

He seems offended

"Was that the one who had the fungal growth or the one who had the radish ear rings?" Arthur says with a grin, it is difficult to tell if he's joking or not.

"They where not Radish, it was corral or something like that, no it was the other one and it was not a fungus, it was just a really bad tattoo"

He says defensively

"well what about that one you picked up that thought she the reincarnation of the vampier queen Zireenzion the 3ed. Blood keep trying to bite me when I was,ent looking.
Had to have eyes in the back of ya head, still got the teeth marks on me space suit."

He says with a small. He could be joking its hard to tell.

"What are you talking about that was hilarious"

Carl huffs, they may not be joking after all.
"Well if Ye get ya self a lass here, check her heads on strait is all I'm saying, no more biters"

Then he looks over at Vickory,
"watch out for this one lass, he's a rascal with the lady's. That go's for you as well Mel, he can charm the pants of a stone giantess, I knows I seen him try. "

"She was only a half giantess, and you did bet be fifty go if I do recall"

Mel smiles enjoying the bater back and forth.

Arthur also knows what happens to those that break my hearts. Anyways, Arthur I do really want to thank you for taking over that shuttle after the accident. I hope that I wasn't the cause of whatever happened.

Now, if you will excuse me, I need to use the ladies room.

Mel heads to the restroom. she really didn;t have to go, but she did need some time alone to gather her thoughts. she sit for a spell, taking some deep breaths a million different things running through her head.

what to do about Arthur, what about Tybs? And Dave? I have got to get Tybs and Dave together. Wait minute, when did become Avalon Matchmaker? He's got to do it, otherwise it won't be real. I know, I'll just be there help pick up the pieces if needed, which I hope won't be necessary.

Mel goes and washes up a bit. and just stays in there for a bit for a little quiet time.

"I paid ya and sum, you did nee pay for a drink all week. Mind you she was one hell of a lark, she could drink."

He chuckles to himself.

"He's all right lasses, as Mel said, he's just a heart beaker is all."

The turning to

"So Vickory seems I ant going drinking tonight after all, I was going down to me ship, to see if the needed any thing moved over to the local time. If ya free now ya can come with me, and Ill give the tour. Time man may be there, he can tell ya stuff as well, He's smart like that. If not then some other time is just as good"

what dos Vickory look like at the moment

Tybalt simply sits and listens, not having many thoughts on the subject.

"It's fine, I'm just glad you're all right, you had me worried for a bit there, on the plus side I got to meet Raelle out of it, so that was fun, I'll see you when you get back" he smiles at her then after she leaves he turns to Carl "you settled in all right?"

The as Sun comes in, she sees the Ape.

Sun_Wukong wrote:

Are you a spirit? he asks approaching the being of light. but before he continues he sees Zilla.

she looks over at him, but she head points off to his right as if she was tuning her head but not using her eyes to see him.

"Hello, happy to meet you, I have a spirit I think, but I am not a being of life force like that. I'm a Star-seed a being of .. light. it is nice to meet you, I am called Alreeneesha in this language"

Sun there is an great feeling of good from this being, it wash's over you enter her light aura. It shines out of her.

She then looks on as he talks to Zilla.

noting what they say.

Sun is relieved that Zilla is alright.

Should I try and get word to Lang? you know he would want to be sure you are alright. He asks knowing that despite everything that happened, Lang still considers Zilla a friend.

looking back to Alreeneesha So your name is Ala...Alree...Alarna...Sun is struggling with the name looking for something easier to pronounce.

With that Dom nods and starts bending water around the man. Soon the water starts rising around him and solidifying. After only a few moments the box had formed and hardened into a clear prison. Only a small hole in the side was open. From it a tube protruded long enough for the mans arm not to escape.

"Unless he can turn into mist he isn't getting out till some one strong breaks it, or it melts. I could always make it thicker if you wish, but it will already take hours for a fire to melt this." He looked to over everyone around to see if they wanted him to do anymore.

"Does the cage also keep him dimensionally locked as well? He might have teleportation abilities or spells." Tyrrin's cold glare finds Dom, her hand continuing to be wreathed in dark, threatening energy as she holds onto whatever spell power she had at the ready.

"I regret to say I can not dimensionally lock it. I have nothing that can stop that. I can however freeze his cloth to it. So he has to free himself or teleport with it still surrounding him. If Dave is able to place a curse on his so he can't teleport that would work. That added bonus of tracking him helps too." Dom tells Tyrrin humbly.

"I don't free any fear or pain from her, but without meeting her in the mindscape I don't know for sure. I do feel an overwhelming of good flowing through our connection. I don't really know what to make of it." Hew calmly tells them as they make their way back to camp.

"Yes please that would be great. I'm not sure what happens to Hew when this all happened so I really need to know if he is ok. And we he would kill me! The jerk. Hmff." She finishes with while crossing her arms. "Alreenneesha your name is kinda hard to say can we call you Esha? It's a lot easier and it's cute." Zilla smiles to her after the question.

Sun looks to zilla, yeah, Esha, I like that too

then Sun realizes what Zilla said, Wait, you said Hew killed you? but your not dead, and Hew is not here. I watched them fly off myself.

"he smiles at her then after she leaves he turns to Carl "you settled in all right?"

"As good as ya can be in a places where every things free, ya can-née smoke or drink or gods forbid have sex. I'm with Sam, just trying to figure out what angle their playing here. Ant no such thing as a free lunch."

looking back to Alreeneesha So your name is Ala...Alree...Alarna...Sun is struggling with the name looking for something easier to pronounce.

::"Alreenneesha, is this better for you, just think the words and I can hear them."::

She says to the minds of Sun and Zilla.

"Yes please that would be great. I'm not sure what happens to Hew when this all happened so I really need to know if he is ok. And we he would kill me! The jerk. Hmff." She finishes with while crossing her arms. "Alreenneesha your name is kinda hard to say can we call you Esha? It's a lot easier and it's cute." Zilla smiles to her after the question.

::"if it makes you happy to call me Esha then please do, I was trying to convert my real name which is."::

With the words come a few faint images, the vastness of space, stars, light and movement. In the room a complex patten flows over her body.

:;"Esha sounds fine, if you wish I can take us to this Lang being now, please just think of him and we can be there."::

Her form patten shifts and moves as she talks.

"I'm almost positive people are allowed to have sex here" Arthur says deadpan

"I'm almost positive people are allowed to have sex here" Arthur says deadpan

"Now why dos it née surprise me you know that Arthur"

"and why am I not surprised you know about drinking and smoking but are lacking correct information on everything else"

Tybalt has started to work on knitting that begins to resemble a silver scarf.
Does anyone have any active spells or magic items that they don't care to keep a secret? A passive ability he has scans for both. If you don't want him to know, he stops before you have to make a will save, but if you don't care to block it, he knows.

Arthur's got a ring of evasion but no other magical equipment with him

Meanwhile, some how, in someway, someone or someones is doing something.

Zilla? If I tell Lang you got hurt, he may want to come back here to make sure you are alright. and he may want to bring Hew. is that alright?

Lang and Midori and Grim all help Hew back to camp.

Master Blackscales. Hew said he thinks something happened to Zilla back at the school. Should we teleport back to see if she is alright?

Ace waits patiently outside the lab door for a response. He figures Vai needs some alone time with Aananda(can't remember if he knows their familial connection), so does not mind them taking their time to answer him.

Carls armbands give off massive amounts of magic epic level power. They seem to be binding him in some way

Carl snorts at Arthur's comment.
"I know where the food is as well"

"of course, how silly of me," Arthur rolls his eyes "was it not you who once said-" he pauses clearing his throat attempting to imatate the dwarf's accent "a meal ain't true sustinating if it ain't accompanied by a bit oh meed"

"You aren't putting enough rasp into it."
He moves his mouth around and imitates Carl's actual voice.
1d20 + 16 + 3 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 16 + 3 + 10 - 2 = 32
"Ah-thur, lad, ow many times I go ta tell ya, ya can't bang the ole bleedin lady half a the galxy."

::but of course, it would be a gross breach of profesional courtesy, not to mention a rather significant potential hazard to alter your wards without your explicit permission for each hypothetical addition or alteration. In any case, where might the optimal position to examine the ward?::

::my mother's lab, if you have access to it, has data on the wards. Otherwise you'll need to fly several miles in the air, if not more."

"Yes that would be fine I want to make sure that I can still since his presence when he is near. I always know if he's alive and all, but when he killed me I didn't since him like I normally do." Zilla replies with a respectful tone.

"That is... an interesting name. Reminds me of the mindscape always shifting. It's nice I just don't want to be stuck there anymore. Oh you can take us to them. Can you bring us back to I don't want to ruin their trip." Zilla tells her hoping that they can avoid forcing the others to return.

Arthur snaps his fingers as he grins at Tybalt joining in on the game, "ah I forgot about that, that's almost certainly all the drinking and smoking, not good for your health" he makes a tut tut sound

He rolls his jaw and goes back to his normal voice.
"Ya. Really really..."
If you recognized his "awkward past story" voice before, you will hear it again now.
Lots of good past stuff in this convo...

"Just a minute," she called out.

"Do you want me to let him in or tell him to come back later?" she asked Vai quietly.

"I..." Vai hesitates. She didn't want her friends to think that she didn't want them... but there was a reason she came here. "I need to talk to you Mom. Can... can you tell him to come back in ten minutes?" Vai snuffles into Aananda's shoulder.

"Okay, honey. You wait right here. I'll go talk to Casil and tell him to come back in a little while," she said, smoothing back Vai's hair and giving her a kiss on her forehead.

She walked over to the door and opened it, stepping outside and closing it behind her. "I appreciate your concern and I know Vai does too, but I need to talk with my daughter for a few minutes. Can you please come back in ten minutes or so?"

"of course, how silly of me," Arthur rolls his eyes "was it not you who once said-" he pauses clearing his throat attempting to imatate the dwarf's accent "a meal ain't true sustinating if it ain't accompanied by a bit oh meed"

"Nearly, I says, 'a meal ain't true sustinating if it ain't accompanied by a lot oh meed'"

he offers Arthur a high five.

you may get the idea the pear of them dos this a lot, what true and not is hard to say, but they really do seem to like each other.

"So Vic ya up for a look around the HammerShaft"

"That is... an interesting name. Reminds me of the mindscape always shifting. It's nice I just don't want to be stuck there anymore. Oh you can take us to them. Can you bring us back to I don't want to ruin their trip." Zilla tells her hoping that they can avoid forcing the others to return.

"Thank you, and yes if you wish Zilla, it would only take a moment"

Royston was standing above a patch of woodland, the grass below was covered in blood, he had found what he had been looking for.
It was still fresh, he touched nothing.

Looking around he can can't see anything of use.
When the student had come to him from the Canteen and told him
about an attack he had been sceptical, the wards would stop such things.
But here was the site, the dead student had been taken to the medical unit.

He made up his mind, the school headmaster needed to know, a good clairvoyant or time vision user needed to see the site. Placing a protective sheen over the spot to preserve the crime site from the elements. Then headed back to the School, looking for the head masters office. Once at the Headmasters door, he knocked lightly and waited.

Others can still get to the location he's just being staff and informing etc to move things on
