18:29  * DM pulls the RP lever
18:29 <%Dirk> [Zeph you're missing out that is all]
18:30  * Allium chooses ONION KNIGHT as his class!
18:30  * DM Dirk, you find yourself in a familiar white plane
18:30 < DM> [wait, what?]
18:30 <%Dirk> ...?
18:30 <%Dirk> [He's suicidal]
18:30 <%Dirk> [Onion Knights get slaughtered]
18:30 < DM> [Onion Knight is a class?]
18:30 <%Dirk> [...]
18:30 <%Dirk> [YES]
18:30 <%Dirk> [It's the NES's version of freelancer]
18:30 < DM> [This will not go over well]
18:30 <%Dirk> [and it's a secret class in the DS]
18:31 < DM> [So he's like a Super Novice?]
18:31 <%Dirk> [For Allium, it's his RedRed Mage]
18:31 <%Dirk> [Jack of all jack of all trades]
18:31  * DM the voice speaks up
18:31 < DM> Well, are we ready to begin?
18:31 <%Dirk> What, this again?
18:32  * Dirk looks around, spotting Allium
18:32 < Allium> ?
18:32 < DM> [no, you can't see him]
18:32 <%Dirk> [brb looking for my items text file which I really hope I saved]
18:32  * Dirk spots no Allium
18:32  * Dirk is alone
18:32 < DM> Alright, let's begin.
18:32  * Allium is presumably also alone
18:32 < Allium> [brb bathroom]
18:33 < DM> After your adventure with the Tarasque, you decide to take the path towards the Kingdom of Clogswell
18:33 <%Dirk> [shit I apparently didn't save it]
18:33 <%Dirk> [uh]
18:33 <%Dirk> [okay okay so]
18:33 <%Dirk> [I think Dirk had 10g, 1s, 4c]
18:33 <%Dirk> [a broken staff and a broken shield]
18:33  * DM the scenery draws itself in front of you. You are on a path with a flowery field on one side and a forest on the other
18:33 <%Dirk> [3 clubs]
18:34 <%Dirk> [Aaaaand]
18:34 <%Dirk> [4 lizard meats]
18:34 < Allium> [back]
18:34 <%Dirk> [Jer does that sound right?]
18:34 < DM> [yeah]
18:34 < Allium> 0.0 Cooool
18:34  * Allium starts with...
18:34 < DM> You have been joined on this quest by a young Onion Knight who was impressed by your last venture.
18:35  * DM *POOF* Allium appears
18:35 <%Dirk> ... Onion Kni-
18:35 <%Dirk> ...
18:35 <%Dirk> Oh, hi, Allium.
18:35 < Allium> ... Oh, hiya Pointy Hat Jerk!
18:35 < DM> [now might be a good time to ask Dirk what's going on]
18:35 <%Dirk> ...
18:35  * Dirk looks around
18:36 < Allium> SO! Adventure time!
18:36  * Allium starts with what? His rapier and buckler?
18:36  * Dirk I'D guess a copper sword!
18:36 < DM> [what's the buckler? a shield?]
18:36 < Allium> [Yes, a really small one]
18:36 <%Dirk> [yes]
18:37 *** Eldred_Fireax ~Eldred@for.great.justice has quit [Q:- hfrfsmgh]
18:37 <%Dirk> Allium, check your inventory
18:37  * Allium checks through his inventory
18:37  * Dirk wants to keep track of everything
18:38  * DM Allium is equipped with a rapier, a wooden shield, 10 gold, 1 blank scroll, and two torches
18:38 <%Dirk> ... A scroll?
18:38 <%Dirk> Hmm
18:39 <%Dirk> [wait do you mean something akin to blank piece of paper?]
18:39 <%Dirk> [I was thinking MYTHIC SPELL SCROLL or ARMOR RECIPE etc.]
18:39 < DM> [it's for scribing spells on, usually]
18:39 <%Dirk> [oh well that's kinda useless but oh well]
18:39 <%Dirk> [it's flammable]
18:39 < Allium> Blank scroll? What's the use of a scroll with no spells on it?
18:39  * Dirk shrugs
18:39 < Allium> This blows!
18:40 <%Dirk> So, uh
18:40 <%Dirk> ...
18:40 < DM> In the distance before you, you can see the great castle-town of Clogswell
18:40 <%Dirk> Right, let's go there
18:40 <%Dirk> I need an iron shield or something
18:40  * DM a castle and surrounding wall draws itself in the distance
18:40  * Dirk heads for the town drawing itself in the distance
18:41  * Dirk ...
18:41  * Allium scurries alongside him
18:41  * Dirk Anyway
18:41 < DM> Suddenly, you see a sign!
18:41 < Allium> So where's all the monsters and fiends to defeat?
18:41 < DM> *CRASH*
18:41 <%Dirk> !
18:41  * DM Dirk runs straight into a sign that popped up in front of him
18:41 <%Dirk> OW
18:41  * Dirk stumbles backwards, rubbing his head
18:41 < Allium> Ahahaha!
18:42  * Allium has a nice laugh at his comrades misfortune
18:42 < DM> The sign appears to be asking for help from any brave adventurers in the area.
18:43  * Allium notices the request!
18:43 < DM> It seems that the city of Clogswell has been having a rather nasty dragon problem as of late.
18:43 < Allium> Dude, pointy hat jerk! This is totally us!
18:43  * DM the words write themself on the sign as the DM talks
18:43 <%Dirk> ...
18:43  * Allium shakes Dirk to get his attention
18:43  * Dirk is already reading
18:43 < DM> Anyone who will save the town from their dragon tormentor will be greatly rewarded
18:44 <%Dirk> Hmm.
18:44 <%Dirk> This DOES sound like a good quest
18:44 <%Dirk> And we're heading to Clogswell either way
18:44 < DM> With gold and a legendary orb of light which has been in the castle's coffers for generations.
18:44 < Allium> ...
18:44 <%Dirk> ...
18:44 <%Dirk> Orb of light?
18:45 <%Dirk> This MUST be a plot quest!
18:45 < Allium> On second thought, this seems to /not good enough/ for us
18:45 < DM> And, if the savior chooses, he may have his pick of the castle virgins to take as a bride.
18:45  * Dirk continues towards Clogswell, now ru-
18:45 <%Dirk> ...
18:45 < Allium> We should find something /better/ , yeah.
18:45 <%Dirk> You can take the virgin, Allium
18:45  * Dirk is NOW running to Clogswell
18:46 < Allium> W-wait! Hey!
18:46 <%Dirk> [Dirk is a Magus and Allium is an Onion Knight but what would I call Greg?]
18:46  * Allium scurries after him
18:46 < DM> [Greg?]
18:46 <%Dirk> [Rock's char in the first one]
18:46 < DM> [A Warrior I suppose.]
18:46 < DM> [He used a sword.]
18:46 <%Dirk> [that's what I had down, goodie]
18:46 <%Dirk> [He had a rapier didn't he?]
18:47 <@Rock> [No, a sword.]
18:47 < DM> [no he had a Shortsword]
18:47 <@Rock> [And clubs.]
18:47 <@Rock> [Lots of clubs.]
18:47 < DM> [Hey Rock, do you want to join in?]
18:47 <@Rock> [Nah it's fine. You guys have already got your thang going.]
18:47 <%Dirk> [But you were our party member ):]
18:48 < DM> [By the way, Shonik, do you remember what kind of animal it was that was playing Rock?]
18:48 <%Dirk> [A bear]
18:48 < DM> [Was in a bear?]
18:48 <%Dirk> [in a bowler hat]
18:48 <@Rock> [No no, a fez.]
18:48 <@Rock> [I think.]
18:48 <%Dirk> [no it was a BOLWER HAT]
18:48 <%Dirk> [*BOWLER HAT]
18:48 < DM> [...]
18:48 <%Dirk> [I have the logs trust meeee]
18:48  * Rock [fezzes Dirk.]
18:49 <@Rock> [Hush you.]
18:49 <%Dirk> [also question: What does Allium have equipped? Both the shield and the rapier or just the rapier?]
18:49 < DM> As you enter the city gate, you can see many of the houses being patched up from what looks like some nasty fire damage.
18:49  * Allium has both equipped!
18:49  * DM the houses draw themselves as they're described.
18:49 < Allium> .... This place seems fine! We should go find some place that's /really/ in need of us!
18:50 *** Riley ~Riley@shacops-432FEFA2.hsd1.md.comcast.net has joined #the-crossing-daggers
18:50 < DM> The people look your way as you walk past them. Some even fall on their knees, as if you're some sort of divine savior.
18:50  * DM they do
18:50 <%Dirk> ...
18:50 <%Dirk> I could get used to this.
18:51 < DM> Building's of significance:
18:51 < DM> Blacksmith, Pub, Inn, and of course the Castle
18:51 <%Dirk> Alright
18:51 <%Dirk> The Castle probably assigns the quest
18:51 <%Dirk> Let's go ask what level the dragon is, then get new equipment accordingly
18:51 <%Dirk> [Is Al level 2 or 1?]
18:52  * Dirk heads to the Castle
18:52 < DM> [Al?]
18:52 < Allium>  /Seriously?/ We should go fight a giant or something!
18:52 <%Dirk> [Allium, yes]
18:52 < DM> [1]
18:52 <%Dirk> Allium, dragons are worth LOTS of EXP
18:52 <%Dirk> [ http://drshnaps.com/useruploads/267/inventory.txt ]
18:52 < DM> [You're 2]
18:52 < Allium> P-pfft, whatever!
18:53 < DM> You're pretty cocky for a level one character.
18:53  * Dirk enters the castle, stepping into a blank canvas
18:53 <%Dirk> He's always been like that.
18:53 <%Dirk> You get used to it.
18:53 < DM> SHONIK GODDAMMIT YOU SPILT THE CHEETOS EVERYWHERE
18:53 <%Dirk> ...
18:53 <%Dirk> [Oh dear]
18:54 < Riley> [CHEETOS?]
18:54 <%Dirk> [No, not of the flaming hot variety]
18:54 < Riley> [D:]
18:54 <%Dirk> [THOSE are a natural Shonikado repellant]
18:54 <%Dirk> [it makes their faces melt]
18:54 < Riley> [I should try that sometime]
18:54  * DM suddenly a few GIANT CHEETOS rain from the sky
18:54 <%Dirk> ...!
18:54 <%Dirk> OH GODS WHAT ARE THOSE
18:55  * DM one crushes the pub
18:55  * DM the other two land safely in the street, although one almost hits you
18:55 < Allium> GAH!
18:55 < DM> Ugh, Shonik! Now look what you did!
18:56  * Dirk pulls his hat down a bit
18:56 <%Dirk> ._.
18:56  * Dirk hurries into the castle
18:56 < Allium> ... /Clearly/ we should at least handle the falling cheese problem before we do this puny dragon que-HEY GET BACK HERE!
18:56  * Allium scurries after him
18:56 < Riley> [Speaking of Giant Cheetos, that commercial for them freaks me out]
18:56 <%Dirk> Al, I am the party leader for once
18:57 < KP> [It freaks EVERYONE OUT]
18:57 <%Dirk> I make the decisions
18:57 <%Dirk> [I never saw it]
18:57  * DM the inside of the castle is a blank white plane again
18:57 < Riley> [I still want to try them though]
18:57 < KP> [All these new Cheetos commercials are frightening]
18:57 < DM> Sorry guy, cleaning up a mess. Give me a second.
18:57 <%Dirk> ...
18:57  * DM outside the giant cheetos fly back up into the air. They leave orange cheese powder all over the town though.
18:58  * Dirk takes out his broken wooden shield
18:58  * Dirk tries to fix it AND make it stronger with the power of Blizzard
18:58  * DM the inside of the castle now starts to draw itself
18:59 < DM> You find yourself in front of a flight of stairs adorned with red carpet. The carpet leads to the door of what is no doubt the throne room.
18:59 < DM> There are also two doors off to the sides. One is protected by a guard.
18:59 < DM> There are a few butlers and guards wandering about/
18:59 < DM> *poof* *poof* *poof*
18:59  * Dirk fails and turns his attention back to the castle appearing
19:00 <%Dirk> Alright, well
19:00  * Dirk puts the broken shield away
19:00 <%Dirk> We should head to the throne room, I'd guess
19:00 < DM> There appears to be a few young ladies being led by soldiers into the side room.
19:00  * Dirk ignores them
19:00 < DM> Um, okay.
19:00  * Dirk enters the throne room
19:01  * DM the throne room is large and lavish
19:01  * DM there is a man sitting in the throne
19:02  * DM he seems to be reading some important documents
19:02 < Allium> Ooooh
19:02  * DM there is nobody in the queen's throne
19:02  * Dirk heads towards said man.
19:02  * Allium scurries behind Dirk
19:03 < DM> There are guards on either side of the carpet leading up to the throne. They stop you from approaching any further than twenty feet.
19:03 < DM> *SHINK*
19:03  * DM the guards put their spears in your path
19:03 <%Dirk> ...
19:03 < Riley> [Also, Why is Jer RPing as a guy called "DM"?]
19:03 <%Dirk> We're here for the quest.
19:03 <%Dirk> [Dungeon Master]
19:03 < DM> [His name is Dungeon Master]
19:03 <%Dirk> [Because he's the Dungeon Master of this game of DnD]
19:04 < DM> "Oh, is that so?"
19:04 <%Dirk> Yes.
19:04 < DM> "Well then, you may approach, but leave your weapons here."
19:04 <%Dirk> ...
19:04 < Riley> [Oh, when I first saw it I thought Dr_Monkey got back into TCD]
19:04 < DM> "Just precautions."
19:04 < DM> "Don't worry."
19:04 <%Dirk> Even the ones in our inventory?
19:04 < DM> "You're what?"
19:05 < DM> Dirk, you're getting out of character again.
19:05 <%Dirk> [You're really having a bad time with There/Their and Your/You're]
19:05 <%Dirk> ...
19:05 <%Dirk> Oh, um
19:05 <%Dirk> Well does it matter?
19:05 <%Dirk> The ones in my inventory, I mean
19:05 < DM> Well, better role playing means better XP.
19:05 <%Dirk> not the out of character stuff
19:05 <%Dirk> I get how that matters
19:06 < DM> Oh, well, I assume he just wants you to leave what you're holding.
19:06 <%Dirk> Okay then
19:06  * Dirk has nothing because all of his weapons broke
19:06  * DM but Allium does
19:06 *** Zall-WRITING ~Ajax@shacops-316595D4.adsl.indra.com has quit [Broken pipe]
19:06  * Dirk heads forward while Al's busy putting his weapons down
19:06 < DM> The man on the throne takes notice of you and puts his documents down.
19:06 < DM> "Hmm?"
19:07 < DM> "Can I help you?"
19:07 <%Dirk> We're here for the quest.
19:07 <%Dirk> Against the dragon.
19:08 < DM> "Oh, I see."
19:08 < DM> "And you are so confident that you will not die like the others?"
19:09 <%Dirk> ...
19:09 <%Dirk> Depends
19:09 <%Dirk> What level i-
19:09 <%Dirk> ...
19:09 <%Dirk> How strong is the dragon?
19:09 < Allium> [back]
19:09 < DM> "What a strange and underconfident answer."
19:09 <%Dirk> ...
19:09 <%Dirk> ):
19:10 < Allium> I /still/ think we should go find something more difficult.
19:10  * Dirk looks at Allium.
19:10 <%Dirk> This
19:10 <%Dirk> is a plot rela-
19:10 <%Dirk> ...
19:10 <%Dirk> A quest we /have/ to do
19:10 <%Dirk> We'll find harder ones only AFTER we do this one
19:10 <%Dirk> Get it?
19:10 < DM> "Young man, I'll have you know that this dragon has killed every dragon slayer that has come to us so far."
19:10 <%Dirk> ...
19:10 <%Dirk> Okay that sounds good enough for me

19:11 <%Dirk> [Riley: I'm a sucker for pencil and pen sketches]

19:11 <%Dirk> Okay then
19:11 < Sara> [.- .]
19:11 < Riley> [Thanks]
19:11 <%Dirk> Let's give it a shot anyway
19:11 <%Dirk> Worst case scenario, we-
19:11 <%Dirk> ...
19:11 <%Dirk> ... die
19:11 <%Dirk> ...
19:11 <%Dirk> Okay so where is the dragon?
19:12 < Allium> ...
19:12 < DM> "In the forest to the east. Just follow the scorched trees to its lair."
19:12 <%Dirk> Alright.
19:12 < Allium> 8|
19:12 < Allium> : |
19:12  * Dirk turns around and heads out
19:12 < Allium> ...
19:13  * Allium scurries behind him
19:13 < Allium> Are you suuuuure about this?
19:13 <%Dirk> ...
19:13 <%Dirk> Allium
19:13 < DM> "You might want to stop at the blacksmith on the way out!"
19:13 <%Dirk> You're actually starting to anno-
19:13 <%Dirk> We will, don't worry!
19:13  * Dirk turns back to Allium
19:13 <%Dirk> Seriously though
19:13 < DM> "I mean seriously, a wooden shield against a fire-breathing dragon?"
19:13  * Dirk 's wooden shield is broken, damn you Allium ):
19:14 < Allium> Just... Seems like a waste of time.

19:15 <%Dirk> a giant fire-breathing dragon
19:15 <%Dirk> that's completely destroying a town
19:15 <%Dirk> sound like such a waste of time
19:15  * Dirk heads for the blacksmith
19:15 < Allium> The town seems fine to me!
19:15 <%Dirk> ...
19:15  * Allium scurry follows, as always

19:16 <%Dirk> ...
19:16 <%Dirk> Happy now?
19:17  * Allium seems frozen
19:17  * DM the dragon spits out a large fireball, destroying a nearby building in an epic explosion!
19:18  * DM it then flies over the castle wall, to what would be the castle's courtyard
19:18  * Dirk grabs Allium, dragging him into the Blacksmith's
19:18  * DM it is out of sight for a moment, but when it rises back into the air, it carries a bound woman in its clutches

19:19 < Allium> Quickly.
19:19 < Allium> Very quickly.
19:19  * DM the blacksmith approaches the counter
19:19 <%Dirk> We're going to kill it.
19:20 < Allium> ;.;
19:20 <%Dirk> As a warm-up, right?
19:20 < DM> "Well, I guess the dragon came for another one of the castle virgins."
19:20 <%Dirk> Since, according to you
19:20 <%Dirk> it's going to be /so easy/
19:20 <%Dirk> I'll let you go first

19:20 < DM> "..."

19:21 <%Dirk> You make /money/ off of suicidal adventurers
19:21 <%Dirk> Why do you sound like you don't like them
19:21 < DM> "Well, I hate to disappoint you, but due to all the gear I've been losing lately to people like you, I've had to raise my prices."
19:21 < DM> "How much you got to work with?"
19:21 <%Dirk> ...
19:21 <%Dirk> Uh
19:21 <%Dirk> Not much.

19:25 <%Dirk> [first the dollar to gil conversion]
19:25 <%Dirk> [now this]
19:25 <%Dirk> [Either Dirk can't do math or I /really/ need scratch paper]
19:25 <%Dirk> [just scratch the poorly done math and pretend I did it right >_>]
19:26 < DM> "Hmm ... let's see ..."
19:26  * DM puts two metal shields on the counter
19:26 <%Dirk> ...
19:26 <%Dirk> What about weapons?
19:26 < DM> "Iron Shield, 4 gold apiece. For an extra 1 gold I can make it extra fire resistant."
19:27 < DM> "And ... what kind of weapons do you boys use exactly?"
19:28  * Allium is still here btw, just isn't talking much for a change
19:28  * Dirk looks at Allium and his rapier
19:28 <%Dirk> ... Probably some sort of sword for him
19:28 <%Dirk> For me, uh
19:28 <%Dirk> If you have anything that allows for better spellcasting
19:28 <%Dirk> I'll take that
19:28 <%Dirk> but otherwise, I won't need one
19:28 <%Dirk> I wasn't built for melee.
19:29 < DM> "Do you need a light sword like a rapier, or something heavier like a shortsword or a broadsword"
19:29 <%Dirk> ...
19:29  * Dirk looks at Allium
19:29 <%Dirk> What do /you/ want?
19:29 < Allium> ... Rapier, I guess >>
19:29 < DM> "Rapier against a dragon?"
19:29 <%Dirk> ...
19:29 < DM> "Interesting choice. But I think I have one that would work."
19:30  * DM puts a rapier with a copper handle on the counter
19:30 <%Dirk> [*Taiko, with his giant dragonite broadsword, laughs at Allium*]
19:30 < DM> "This Steel Rapier has +1 armor piercing. Probably work good on a dragon hide. 5 gold."
19:30 <%Dirk> Sounds nice.
19:30 < Allium> Let's get it!
19:31 <%Dirk> So, that's...
19:31 <%Dirk> 15 gold I believe
19:31  * Dirk takes out 5 gold
19:31  * Dirk puts it on the counter.
19:32 < DM> "Alright. You sure you don't want anything in case you're backed into a corner or run out of spells though?"
19:32 <%Dirk> ...
19:32 <%Dirk> Well
19:33 < DM> "I got a crossbow that you could afford. 5 more gold and it comes with bolts."
19:33 <%Dirk> I'm useless with a weapon
19:33 <%Dirk> ...
19:33 <%Dirk> Okay, fine, um
19:33 <%Dirk> What about some sort of spear?
19:34 < DM> "I have all kinds of spears. But ... if you're not an expert with them you might find them kind of unwieldy."
19:34 <%Dirk> ...
19:34 <%Dirk> I'll take the crossbow.
19:34  * Dirk takes out 5 more gold
19:34 < Allium> Expert? You just poke stuff withem!
19:34 < Allium> Simple!
19:34 <%Dirk> You said that about fighting the dragon.
19:34 < DM> "I also have clubs and hammers."
19:34 <%Dirk> I also have clubs.
19:34 <%Dirk> Three of them.
19:34 <%Dirk> ... And lizard meat
19:34 <%Dirk> and a broken shield and a broken staff
19:35 <%Dirk> Maybe I could sell some of those
19:35  * Dirk waits for Allium to pay for his equipment
19:35 < DM> "... not broken you can't. You'd have to repair them first."
19:35 <%Dirk> ...
19:35  * DM has already given Allium his stuff
19:35 <%Dirk> Okay, I'll use them for firewood
19:35 < Allium> Can we get going now?
19:35  * Dirk takes his crossbow and extra fire-proof shield
19:35 <%Dirk> Alright.
19:35  * Dirk heads out!
19:35 <%Dirk> [question]
19:36  * Allium scurries after him
19:36  * DM the crossbow comes with 10 bolts
19:36 <%Dirk> [if I have one gold, can I take out five silvers?]
19:36 <%Dirk> [or do they work like real coins]
19:36 <%Dirk> [with not being able to magically switch]
19:36  * DM they work like real coins. You can exchange them for 10 silver at stores and stuff though.]
19:36 <%Dirk> [should I just keep track of total money or each coin individually?]
19:37 <%Dirk> [because it's a big cluttersome which is totally a word now]
19:37 < DM> [I don't care how you do it.]
19:37 <%Dirk> [aaawrighty]
19:37 < DM> [I'm not making a big deal about it.]
19:37 <%Dirk> [I am! :D]
19:38 < DM> [also your shields are both Iron Shield +1 Fire Resistance]
19:38 < DM> [The rapier is a Steel Rapier +1 Armor Piercing]
19:38  * Allium equips his new equipment
19:38 <%Dirk> [making note of that, yesh]
19:38 < DM> [The crossbow is an Iron Crossbow, with 10 Iron Bolts]
19:39 < DM> *ahem*
19:39 < DM> As you leave town ...
19:39 < DM> *poof* You're out of town whether you like it or not.
19:39  * Dirk is out of town whether he likes it or not
19:39 < DM> [*/me]
19:40 < DM> You can see a trail of burnt trees to your right.

19:41 <%Dirk> [ http://drshnaps.com/useruploads/267/inventory.txt ]
19:41 < DM> Suddenly a wild Penguingod appears!
19:41 <%Dirk> ... A /what/?
19:41 < Allium> [PG: Awwwesome]
19:42 < Allium> A summon!? We aren't even in a dungeon!
19:42 <@Penguingod> GRR
19:42 <%Dirk> ...
19:42 <@Penguingod> Wait, what am I doing here
19:42 <%Dirk> It's a random encounter
19:42 <%Dirk> Not a summon!
19:42 <%Dirk> ...
19:42  * Penguingod looks around
19:42 <%Dirk> And it definitely is random
19:42 < Allium> Penguingod!
19:42 <@Penguingod> ?
19:42 < Allium> I guess we're gonna fight you.
19:42 <%Dirk> Hello Peguingod.
19:42 <%Dirk> ...
19:42 <@Penguingod> Oh.
19:42 <@Penguingod> Okay.
19:42 <%Dirk> Oh gods we are
19:43 <%Dirk> ...
19:43 < DM> Um sorry, that was Shonik's fault
19:43  * Penguingod gets out his hammer
19:43 < DM> ...
19:43 < DM> Are they seriously going to fight him?
19:43 <%Dirk> ...
19:43 <%Dirk> Um
19:43 <%Dirk> Do we have to?
19:43 <@Penguingod> You wanna start, or should I?
19:43 <%Dirk> ...
19:43 <%Dirk> WE'LL START
19:43 <%Dirk> Yeah, Allium
19:43  * Dirk steps back
19:43 <%Dirk> Go get him
19:43 < DM> O_o
19:43  * Allium has bad memories of being smacked in the face with giant hammer
19:44 <%Dirk> [this'll be fun]
19:44 < DM> Um okay, let me do some rolling
19:44  * DM the sound of rolling dice is heard
19:44  * Dirk 's shield is for FIRE resistance! D:
19:44 < DM> Looks like Penguingod gets initiative
19:45 <%Dirk> oh gods help us
19:45 < DM> [I really did roll a dice btw]
19:45 <@Penguingod> what the HELL does that mean
19:45 <%Dirk> [Heh]
19:45 < DM> It means you attack first.

19:45  * DM is just a disembodied voice btw
19:45  * Penguingod squats
19:45  * Penguingod jumps, up, and does some purely superfluous twirls
19:45  * Allium BRACES FOR IMPACT
19:45  * Penguingod swings his hammer down at Dirk, crashing into the ground
19:46  * Dirk is wondering if he should use the higher leveled spells against PG or save them for-
19:46  * Dirk holds his shield up
19:46 <%Dirk> ACK
19:46 < DM> [how strong of an attack would you say that is?]
19:46 <@Penguingod> [Um, very]
19:46  * DM Dirk feels his shield SLAMMED into his body
19:47  * Dirk Holy fack
19:47 <%Dirk> DZXGRTEFSBG
19:47 < DM> Your turn Allium
19:47 < Allium> ...
19:47  * Dirk lays on the ground, hurt from the attack and all
19:47  * Dirk Ow
19:47  * Allium scurries at PG, and jabs his Steel Rapier at him
19:47 <%Dirk> @_@
19:48 <%Dirk> [<DM> Penguingod's morale drops.]
19:48  * Penguingod gets stabbed
19:48 <@Penguingod> :/
19:48 <@Penguingod> That's all?
19:48 < DM> Wow. This guy's got some pretty tough defense.
19:48 < Allium> .... ;_;
19:48 < DM> Your turn Dirk
19:48 <%Dirk> ...
19:49 <%Dirk> R-right...
19:49 <%Dirk> ... Uh...
19:49 <%Dirk> ...
19:49 <%Dirk> *ahem*
19:49 <%Dirk> Well wait
19:49 <%Dirk> How many high leveled spells do I get per day?
19:49  * Penguingod looks at Dirk, and crosses his arms
19:50 <@Penguingod> [So, would this be based on 3.5e or 4e?]
19:50 <%Dirk> [No idea I don't even know what those are D8]
19:50 < DM> You get 1 of each -aga, 2 of each -ara, and 3 of each standard
19:50 <%Dirk> ...
19:50 <%Dirk> What about -ajas?
19:50 < DM> Sorry, after reviewing the rules I decided you're at too low of a level for those.
19:50 <%Dirk> ...
19:50 <%Dirk> Curses
19:50 <%Dirk> So does this mean I can't cast Death?
19:50  * Dirk On an immortal, no less
19:51  * Dirk :/
19:51 <@Penguingod> Death never works as a spell anyway
19:51 < DM> You can, but do you think it'd work?
19:51 <%Dirk> ...
19:51 <%Dirk> Well...
19:51 <%Dirk> No
19:51 <%Dirk> What about Flare?
19:51 < DM> [Flare is what exactly?]
19:51 <%Dirk> [Level 8 spell next to Death and Meteor]
19:51 <%Dirk> [Pretty much the ultimate fire attack]
19:51 <%Dirk> [except I say it's neutral in element]
19:51 <%Dirk> [like Bio]
19:52 <%Dirk> [except that's not how it works]
19:52 <%Dirk> [okay so it's like Firaja but on a single enemy.]
19:52 < DM> You can attempt to cast Flare, but at your level there's a high probability of it failing
19:52 <%Dirk> ...
19:52 <@Penguingod> ["There are no robots, and there are no Cubans!"]
19:53 < DM> You'd have to roll a 19 or 20 for it to work.
19:53 <@Penguingod> When do I get to hit something again?
19:53  * Dirk holds his right hand up, creating a small black cloud
19:53  * Dirk Little white bubbles pop out of it, floating upwards
19:53 < DM> [what is that?]
19:53  * Dirk flings it at Penguingod, the bubbles trailing behind it
19:53 <%Dirk> Sleep!
19:54 <%Dirk> [Sleep.]
19:54 <%Dirk> [It inflicts sleep.]
19:54 < DM> You rolled a 2. Spell failed!
19:54 <%Dirk> [are you serious]
19:54 <%Dirk> [fuck your dice]
19:54 < DM> [yes]
19:54 < DM> Your turn, Penguingod
19:54  * Penguingod yawns
19:54 <@Penguingod> Alright
19:54 <%Dirk> [FUCK your DICE]
19:54 <%Dirk> [D8]
19:55  * Penguingod punts Dirk
19:55  * Dirk holds his shield for defense but
19:55 <%Dirk> AAAA
19:55  * DM Dirk is sent flying!
19:55  * Dirk With no great ease.
19:55  * Dirk is no Eldred
19:56  * DM luckily I didn't roll high enough for you to collide with anything
19:56  * Dirk I love your dice.
19:56  * DM except the ground
19:56  * Dirk Right that
19:56 < DM> You're up Allium 
19:56 <%Dirk> *Thud*
19:56 <%Dirk> @_@

19:57 <%Dirk> [*Penguingod flees the premises*]
19:57 <@Penguingod> [Wait, wrong FF]
19:57 < DM> Ooh! A 19!
19:57  * DM Penguingod is on fire!
19:57 <@Penguingod> ACK JESUS
19:58 < Allium> :D
19:58  * Penguingod is annoyed
19:58 <%Dirk> ...
19:58 < DM> Dirk, you're up
19:58 < Allium> Awesome! Hey Pointy Hat Jerk! Look what I did!
19:58 <%Dirk> Right
19:58  * Dirk sets his shield and crossbow down
19:58  * Dirk holds both hands out
19:58  * Dirk Multiple fireballs spawn around each hand, spinning rapidly
19:59 < DM> [Holy shit, I rolled a 20]
19:59 < DM> [er, crap, I thought you had already done the attack]
19:59  * Dirk flings both hands at Penguingod, the fireballs forming two rings
19:59 <%Dirk> [... ):]
19:59 <@Penguingod> ?
19:59 < Allium> [It totally still counts]
19:59 < DM> [... /fine/ ]
19:59  * Dirk The rings split apart, then meld together, creating one large ring of fire around PG
20:00 <@Penguingod> That's interesting.
20:00  * Dirk It begins spinning and rising in height, forming a large tornado of fire
20:00 <%Dirk> FIRAJAAAAA
20:00  * Dirk BANG
20:00 < DM> [wait, I said you can't do -ajas]
20:00 <%Dirk> [you said one -aja per-]
20:00 <%Dirk> [oh right]
20:00 <%Dirk> [sorry, -aga]
20:00 <%Dirk> -AGAAAAA
20:01 <@Penguingod> FUCK

20:01 < DM> Your turn Penguingod 
20:01  * Penguingod takes his hammer
20:01  * Penguingod runs to Dirk
20:01  * Penguingod golf swings
20:01 <@Penguingod> *CLAANG*
20:01 <%Dirk> OOOOW
20:02  * Dirk OOOOOOOOOW
20:02  * DM you hit a nearby tree so hard you go CLEAR THROUGH IT
20:02  * Dirk Fuck your twenties
20:02  * DM you're in a blinding amount of pain
20:03 < Allium> ... EEP.
20:03  * Dirk knows blind
20:03 < DM> [it totally was another 20]
20:03 <%Dirk> FFFFFFFFF
20:03 <%Dirk> [PG's a cheater]
20:03 <@Penguingod> [ha]
20:03 < DM> [You better be glad I'm not using real DnD rules or you'd be dead]
20:03 <%Dirk> [This /is/ TCD, after all! :D]

20:13 < DM> ...

20:13 <%Dirk> [I COULD NOT RESIST]
20:14 < Allium> [Ahaha]

20:22 <%Dirk> [in there]
20:22 <%Dirk> [that could be shocked.]
20:22 < DM> The beast retaliates by stretching it's giant fist of gold in your direction!
20:22  * Allium shields!
20:23 <%Dirk> OH GODS D8
20:23 < DM> Dirk, reaction?
20:23  * Dirk holds his shield up
20:23 < DM> [3 for attack, 19 for shield]
20:23 <%Dirk> VALEN HELP ME )8
20:23  * DM the fist hits the shield and the coins scatter in all directions
20:23 <%Dirk> ...

20:24 < DM> Allium, you're turn!
20:24 < DM> *your

20:24  * Dirk holds his hands in prayer
20:24 <%Dirk> thank you
20:24 < DM> [when I type fast I always mis-apostriphy]
20:24  * Allium scurries into a super flip stabbity slashy motion with his Rapier, as in, he just heads over and stabs into the damn thing
20:24 < DM> [4]
20:25 <%Dirk> [nice]
20:25  * DM the rapier slides right in between the coins. There's no flesh to stab!
20:25 < DM> [5 on counterattack]
20:25  * DM the golem attempts to swat you away but misses
20:25 < DM> Dirk's turn!
20:26  * Dirk brings up his foot
20:26 <%Dirk> QUAKE
20:26  * Dirk stomps down
20:26  * Dirk The room shakes! Rocks fall! RAIN OF COINS QUITE POSSIBLY
20:27 < DM> [17]
20:27 < DM> Coins are scattered all over the place!
20:27 < DM> The monster uses it's turn to reconstitute. Now would be a good time to flee if you feel the need.
20:27 < DM> Allium's turn.
20:27 <%Dirk> ...
20:28 <%Dirk> You know what
20:28 <%Dirk> I ironically remember you /saying/ you wanted to fight a giant
20:28  * Allium AIMS HIS MIGHTY RAPIER AT HIM, SHOUTING BLIZZAGA ANGRILY
20:28  * Dirk looks up at the golem
20:28 <%Dirk> [Oh dear]
20:28 <%Dirk> [he's trying the impossible!]
20:28  * Allium ice is his speciality!
20:28 <%Dirk> [He doesn't have enough MP for Blizzaga!]
20:28 <%Dirk> [ALLIUM WATCH OUT YOU'LL DIE]
20:28 < Allium> [Yeah he does.]
20:29 <%Dirk> [oh wait is that Blizzaja I'm thinking of?]
20:29 < Allium> [Yeah]
20:29 <%Dirk> [ah]
20:29 < DM> [you're pretty much a red mage right?]
20:29 < Allium> [YEah]
20:29 < DM> Sorry, Mr. Onion Knight, you aren't a high enough level for -agas.
20:30 <%Dirk> [Onion Knights are basically the "We're not good at anything but we can do everything."]
20:30 < Allium> ... D:<
20:30 <%Dirk> [Red Mages are the "We're sorta good at everything."]
20:30 < Allium> MOTHER /FUCKER/
20:30 < DM> Would you like to trade it for an -ara?
20:30 < Allium> [j/k]
20:30 < Allium> [That's out of character]
20:30 < Allium> ... FINE.
20:31 < DM> [20]
20:31 <%Dirk> [oh gods ahaha]
20:31 < Allium> [BOOYA]
20:31  * DM the coin monster is frozen over. It doesn't seem hurt by the spell but it's reconstituting is frozen.
20:31 < DM> *its
20:31 <%Dirk> ...
20:31 <%Dirk> So now what.
20:32 < DM> [in other words it's just a blob of coins right now]
20:32 < Allium> FINISH IIIIIT
20:32 <%Dirk> ...
20:32 <%Dirk> How?
20:32 <%Dirk> I'm not sure how to HURT it
20:32 < Allium> MELT IIIIIT
20:32 <%Dirk> ...
20:32 <%Dirk> That might melt the /ice/
20:33 < DM> [worth the risk? It's the only element you haven't tried.]
20:33 <%Dirk> [Go on Allium ask]
20:34 < Allium> [GO GO GO]
20:34 < Allium> Do it!
20:34 <%Dirk> ...
20:34 <%Dirk> Oh fine
20:34 <%Dirk> but I can only cast the -ara version
20:35 <%Dirk> ...
20:35  * Dirk coughs.
20:35 < DM> I'm waiting.
20:35 <%Dirk> FINE
20:35 <%Dirk> FINE FINE
20:35  * Dirk clenches his fist, and a fireball forms around it
20:35 *** Niro ~nigger@shacops-CABDD06F.rcmdva.fios.verizon.net has quit [Q:- ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.8/2009032609]]
20:36  * Dirk slams it into the ground, and a trail of fire shoots towards the golem
20:36 <%Dirk> FIRA
20:36 < DM> [13]
20:36 < DM> A portion of the beast is melted down into slag!
20:37 < DM> You still have about 60% of the beast yet to fight though.
20:37  * DM the beast finally reconstitutes
20:37 <%Dirk> ...
20:37  * DM it turns into a wave of gold coins and heads straight for Allium!
20:38  * Allium shieeeeld
20:38  * DM welcome to Duckberg!
20:38 < DM> [13 for attack 17 for shield]
20:38  * DM you are buried under a pile of coins, but otherwise you're not injured much
20:39 < DM> Allium's turn.
20:39 < Allium> BLIZZARA!
20:39  * Allium this last spell depletes the last bit of Al's MP
20:39 <%Dirk> [From underneath a pile of coins?]
20:39  * Allium bursts out first!
20:39 < DM> [this system doesn't use MP]
20:40 < DM> [you would have 1 of each -ara per day and 2 of each normal
20:40 < Allium> [Oh]
20:40 < Allium> [D:]
20:40  * Allium regular Blizzard then
20:40 < DM> [14]
20:40 < DM> [um wait, let me roll for you getting out too ...]
20:41 < DM> [12]
20:41  * DM Allium tumbles out of the pile of coins, freezing it behind him!
20:41 < DM> Dirk's turn
20:42 < DM> Oh goddammit Shonik locked himself in the fridge again
20:42  * Dirk begins whistling, a fireball appearing in his hands- he plays with it in a way that resembles a yo-yo.
20:42 < DM> There we go.
20:43 < DM> ?
20:43  * Dirk does an around-the-world with his fireball yo-yo, letting go of it as it swings in front; it flies forward, splashing down upon the pile of coins
20:43 <%Dirk> Fira.
20:43 <%Dirk> *FWOOM*
20:43 < DM> [18]
20:43  * DM the remainder of the coins are melted into slag!
20:43  * Dirk [poses with his ice bat]
20:44  * Allium does a triumphant pose!
20:44  * Allium is such a badass!
20:44 < DM> Afterwards, you look around, but all you can find is ...
20:44  * Dirk polishes his iron shield
20:44  * DM rolls
20:44 < DM> 30 gold coins
20:44 <%Dirk> ...
20:44 < DM> That aren't slagged
20:44 <%Dirk> We paid /20/ for our equipment
20:44 <%Dirk> This is /very/ nice
20:44  * Dirk picks up 15, leaving Allium to take the rest
20:45 < DM> There are also some skeletons. Apparently first victims of the Coin Golem.
20:45  * Dirk heads over to the various skeletons, looting their corpses
20:45  * Allium picks up the remainder
20:45 < DM> The skeletons have nothing of value.
20:46  * Dirk picks up one of the rib cage
20:46 <%Dirk> [*skeleton's rib cages]
20:46 <%Dirk> ...
20:46 <%Dirk> You sure?
20:47  * Dirk looks at it, wondering if some sort of kickass bone armor could be fashioned out of it for the right price
20:47 < DM> Unless you want the skeletons themselves.
20:47 < DM> But you'd have to carry it around with you.
20:47 <%Dirk> ...
20:47 <%Dirk> Oh screw it
20:47  * Dirk tosses the rib cage over his shoulder
20:48  * Dirk It lands on Allium's head like a hat
20:48  * Dirk exits
20:48  * Allium scurries after
20:48 < DM> Going down the tunnel now, you can hear the heavy breathing of the dragon.
20:48  * Allium after storing the his Bone Armor in his inventory
20:48 <%Dirk> [<DM> Your Bone Armor gives you a +1 in Fragility.]
20:48 < DM> But the odd thing is ...
20:49 < DM> Er wait, let me roll to see if you notice.
20:49  * DM rolls
20:49 < DM> Okay, the glowing mushrooms in this area look fake.
20:49 <%Dirk> ...
20:49 < DM> Like they're made of plastic or something.
20:49 <%Dirk> Huh?
20:49 < DM> On closer inspection, you can see wires stretching between them.
20:49 <%Dirk> ...
20:49 <%Dirk> What
20:49 < Allium> ... Well that's cheap! This dungeon doesn't deserve us, let's leave.
20:49  * Dirk closer inspects them
20:50 <%Dirk> ...
20:50 < DM> In fact, now that you're looking, there appears to be some places in the wall that look like metal panels.
20:50 <%Dirk> Really... Now...
20:51 < DM> That's all for now ...
20:51 <%Dirk> Uh...
20:51 <%Dirk> Great.
20:52 < DM> If you continue along ...
20:52 <%Dirk> Let's go... Kill... The dragon I guess
20:53 < DM> You come to a large circular chamber with a sunken floor. A pit almost.
20:53 < DM> There are stairs descending down to the main floor. You can see the dragon from up here.
20:54 <%Dirk> ...
20:54 <%Dirk> Alright.
20:54 < Allium> ...
20:54 < DM> There is also a barred door behind the dragon, likely leading to a dungeon of sorts.
20:54  * Dirk heads down
20:54 <%Dirk> Great
20:54 <%Dirk> Be on the lookout for a key or something, then, Allium
20:54 < Allium> ALRIGHT HE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE BOTHERING ANYBODY LETS JUST LEAVE EM ALONE-WHERE ARE YOU GOING!?
20:54 < DM> How did the dragon build stairs and a dungeon?
20:54 <%Dirk> ...
20:55 <%Dirk> It... Didn't?
20:55 <%Dirk> I'd guess someone else did
20:55  * DM the dragon looks up at you when Allium shouts
20:55 <%Dirk> and then put the dragon in
20:55 < DM> ...
20:55  * DM suddenly the stairs turn into a slide!
20:55 < Allium> [Aaaand drat, gotta go]
20:55 < Allium> [NITE FELLAS]
20:55  * DM causing you to fall .......................
20:55 < DM> ...
20:56 < DM> Well we can't continue without him
20:56 *** Allium ~ckjcrews@shacops-1E3809EA.lv.lv.cox.net has quit [Q:- ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.5/2008120122]]
20:56 < DM> Unless he felt like passing the baton on to Penguingod or someone before he left, but it's a little late for that.
20:56 *** KP ~KP@shacops-9A7D254B.nwrknj.fios.verizon.net has quit [Q:- ChatZilla 0.9.84 [Firefox 3.0.8/2009032609]]
20:56 <%Dirk> ...
20:57 <%Dirk> right
20:57 < DM> Well Dirk, I guess we'll have to put off this confrontation for later.
20:57 *** You're now known as Shonikado
20:57 <%Shonikado> Alrighty
20:57  * DM suddenly Dirk is teleported back into the DM's basement
20:57 < DM> [...]
20:57 < DM> [okay fine]
20:57 *** DM is now known as Jer-
20:57 <%Shonikado> [Wait what]
20:57 < Jer-> Well, that was fun while it lasted.
20:58 < Jer-> Thanks for that fight, Penguingod 
20:58 <%Shonikado> I thought you said we were quitting
20:58 < Jer-> [The DM was saying it]
20:58 <%Shonikado> Oh
20:58 < Jer-> anyways
