<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.6.8 - 1 day later (2 full days later really since the last session ended in the early morning of 7)
<DeathStar> Location: The Hotel
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session374
<DeathStar> 6* Spending all of yesterday, after getting some rest of going to Di'Mantha's place, and most of this day, it is now later evening of them going through what notes and diaries she had on the various things
<ChadWinters> 6Durt rubs the bridge of his nose as he peers over some of the paperwork.
<DeathStar> 6* While informative, most of it seems to be information that the two Gods were definitely looking to build up their money, though Mantha had no idea why Manus wanted money - Mantha wanted money so she could buy places on another planet and start building up elsewhere and prepare for when Gartarah came for her, which was her fear*
<DeathStar> 6* While they have the location of where the money is being stored, Manus naturally has the bank codes and they cannot enter or mess with the money. Just the bank with it. Mantha does list things Manus is into it and it's not pretty.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei sips her drink, eyeing the information* Hm.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Sooooo... mystery bank vault we can't open... and Manus is still a f*cked up domme."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Are we gonna have to heist or something?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We do know some of the types of people she is into at least
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And a bit of her powers.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I was thinking about something Lore. Let's assume that the God's aren't working with Garth. And he's most likely going to create new gods to replace them. What do you think he needs to make that happen?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Heh, garth.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Manus likes to break rich people and beautiful people. She has a power with her whip that can bring pleasure and pain that saps a person's will. Meaning a long battle with her is not good
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> But that is also her weakness. She will go for rich people and beautiful to "collect" them. Rich and beautiful she cannot resist going after
<Jackieness> <Moira> S"o how cna we use that to trap her?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei turns to Durt* Well, assuming Gartareh has been reborn and is interested in the old Gods. I have no idea. I have no idea how he made the original Gods. I think it had something to do with the Moon before.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And I think he transformed a few people into Gods. I know he turned Lenneth into the God of Heroes at least.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Hm, did we let Lenneth know to be careful?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> That is a bit too late. The God of Heroes has already been ressurected
<Seraphna> **Michelle leans back thoughtfully.** Mmm, I believe she left Erevis' group a while back and no one's eager to explain the details.... ahhh.
<Seraphna> MIchelle> Is that why?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm just wondering if us going after these Gods are part of his plan. If for everone we remove from the board, he's able to replace with one that's loyal to him.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Yeah, sounds like it'd be a pain in the ass...
<Seraphna> **Kaelan frowns, looking down**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> In which case, why would they pick me to be a vessel, I'm anything but going to cooperate.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *she seems to be a bit shifty on the subject* I have Aschae on the case but there was a situation a few months back. There was an event in the house the Zhenmeis made where part of it was destroyed. And the God of Heroes rose up and left and Lenneth has not been seen since. But I suppose I can explain now that time has passed
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Aschae was there watching Lenneth since we all thought it would be Lenenth - it was not her
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe because you're in the middle of a pack of us? Safest place to be if Gartareh is hunting you down."
<Seraphna> MIchelle> Wait... then who was it?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Godiva's second daughter. Lenny. Apparently it aged her up to appear as Lenneth did back then. Lenneth is hunting her along with Godiva and a few others like Aschae. It is why we do not need to concern ourselves with it
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin squints
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> A granddaughter works just as well I suppose
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> They say looks skip a generation
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Do they really say that?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I read it somewhere
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I hope they're all okay. 6* He says with a sigh, looking off to the side.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> That's literally the first I've ever heard of it, but it would explain Durst.
<kalonZombee> *Durt
<Seraphna> **Michelle muses** Now that we're thinkin about vessels, what of Angelus? Seeing as he's dead an' gone, doesn't that make Angelos or his kin a target?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Who?
<DeathStar> *Lorelei shrugs*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Weirdo with a horny rabbit wife, I think.
<Seraphna> Michelle> "Lore's Uncle. His Twin brother became one o' the gods before."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yes yes. Angelos. *she seems to have already forgotten him - on purpose*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I'm pretty sure no God would want to be in that
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I mean him
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh I don't know like...any of tthe old people around you all.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Thanks for reminding me I don't know how my parents are. 6He shakes a fist at Leruste
<ChadWinters> *who*
<Seraphna> Michelle> **laughs** I don' doubt that, but that means we have no idea who his vessel might turn' out.
<DeathStar> *Rachael raises hand*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, if the plan is just to get near Manus. I have an idea
<DeathStar> *She drags Moira and Kaori off*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Let's hear it Rachael....6He pauses as she does that
<Sara> * Kaori complains but is dragged off
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Why do I think this involves dressing up and acting pretty?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Craaaaaap."
<Xanatos> <Valen> We should be offended. 6* He says to Kaelan.
<DeathStar> *a moment and two later she returns with them in maid outfits* <Rachael> I looked into it and the "mistress" of that mansion does have other servants. What are the chances someone with Manus' mindset would bother using compulsion on them? But even if she does we could try to sneak in that way. Plus *she motions at the two girls* Pretty.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Unless you want us to walk up and try to use pretty and rich to distract her
<DeathStar> *Zegretta eyes the two girls in maid outfits, then tilts her head far to the left*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "....what?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks at the girls in the maid outfits, then Zegretta a moment, then back**
<DeathStar> *Zegretta peers at Kaelan now*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Hm
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think you just wanted to dress them up.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blushes a bit**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt let's out one loud Ha.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... not at all. It's a completely valid plan
<Xanatos> <Valen> Until you get your souls sucked out.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Fine, what's your plan then, brother
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We can always try putting Valen in one of those and see what happens.
<Xanatos> <Valen> WE GO IN AND FIGHT
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You're just jealous because there is no way your ass would look as good as mine in this skirt."
<Seraphna> Michelle> Now that's confidence.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6* He slowly turns to look at Moira, squints, then walks off with a determined face.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm beginning to wonder if my brother is into crossdressing
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Something we might need to consider, Manus may be on the over cautious side if she realizes Di's gone.
<Sara> * Kaori just smiles quietly.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I have wondered that.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And how she might react.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So... yes or no to the inflitration plan?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I imagine, if I were her, that I'd feel I could do whatever I wanted now. 6He leans back, his hands behind his head
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Maybe so. But only after I dealt with whatever did Mantha in.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> She may assume it was us that did her in.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses** Crossdressing or more... hmmm... **she shrugs, then looks to Zeg** I assume we're getting costumes like those sometime.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> We're sure it was Manus' doing, somehow?
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses at that, then to Moira* Lets buy a few more outfits and see if we can't get inside
<Xanatos> (Wasn't)
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Think she's got the power to do that? 6He looks at Lore.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan squeaks** I-I was kidding!
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> It isn't logical for it to be Manus
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Plus Manus would have broken Di'Mantha I think, not just do whatever that was
<Xanatos> 6* Valen steps up in a maid outfit and flexes, doing a big spin.
<DeathStar> *she taps her chin*
<Xanatos> <Valen> You look hot, but I look HOT.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *facepalms*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Zeg has a point. And... **looks over and stares at Valen**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... I help your girlfriend is into crossdressing, brother... *she moves off*
<DeathStar> *she takes a picture as she goes*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You haver a FLAT ass!"
<Seraphna> Michele> **snaps a photo**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And...send
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't even remotely have a FLAT ass!
<Seraphna> Michelle> I'm puttin' this up at home for the whole group to enjoy.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ALSO, the big from a family that's full of homosexual people, you're sure having a problem with me wearing 'girl' clothes, SISTER.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Not at all. *she waves a hand* I kind of like it
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Zeg's right. It's maybe possible that weird guy did it but I'd lean more towards Garth being back and doing it.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I just worry about you ever getting laid.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Valen, we accept you for whatever you want to be, girl, boy, tentacle monster, it's up to you.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh I'm not worried about that. I'll fuck that up with or without fancy clothes.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> V-Valen wants to be a tentacle monster?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen mouthes tentacles monster and rubs his chin slowly.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> ... *she eyes Valen and edges away*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> How do we know Valen isn't already a tentacle monster wearing a Valen suit?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> While you work on that, I could try to find more clues from Manus. 6* He says to Lorlei
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Please do
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 10-639.6.9
<DeathStar> Location: The Hotel
<DeathStar> 6* The team, after being roused due to his investigations, peers at the school due to something strange - many of the parents are weirdly protesting the school and pulling their kids out. Several of them Lorelei recogizes as under Manus' control
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Interesting...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What exactly are they protesting?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Seem's Di kept them all in check, and without her, Manus is pushing for more control
<DeathStar> *McTreggor can be seen in the crowd, wearing a coat despite it being spring, and having a coat on, likely to hide his sword*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I thought Mantha didn't know Sol was here?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe Manus is trying to push Solstice under her thumb since Di'Mantha can't be pushed around anymore."
<Seraphna> Michelle> Maybe Sol wasn't as up on her intelligence as she thought she was.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So we're told. If she didn't and this is just coincidence, then we lucked out.
<DeathStar> *they seem to be protesting the school over all and the headmistress, chanting various things. Likely under Manus' directions. Calling for her resignation*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Some of us cna pull on our school unfiforms, sneak on to campus, and talk to Solstice."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Should we let them fight, then sweep in and finish off the winner?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I wonder how many of these people are under Manus' control.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> My guess? 69%.
<DeathStar> *McTreggor moves off quietly*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei pauses, then eyes Leruste*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Most of them... probably.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan watches McTreggor** Umm... Lore? Should one of us go after him?
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> It's funny because the number has a double meaning.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hey that super cool guy in his super cool coat is there and wandered off.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt reaches over and bops Leruste.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> If you want to.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You know... we never did see where he got off to last time."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So should we approach Sol about this or go after Manus?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods and peers around, then does a quick foxhole to catch up to him without being too obvious about it**
<Xanatos> <Valen> Wait, why is he around anyway, I thought he was after shapeshifters?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I think, we should use Sol to go after Manus.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Maybe he is a shapeshifter...
<Xanatos> 6* Valen wanders off to go follow McTreggor.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...what if Gartareh jumped into him?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan can tug Valen through her Foxhole to help.**
<DeathStar> *McTreggor wanders toward a store and enters*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen is tugged! Non-sexually.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan follows McTreggor in**
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler follows Kaelan
<DeathStar> *he throws some coins to the counter and moves int othe back; the store seems to be selling produce*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei moves through the angry crowd and into the school*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta hurries after Kaelan while Rachael follows Lorelei*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks a bit at that and mimics him, deciding when in Rome you do as the hunters do**
<Seraphna> **Michelle heads with Lore**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves after Lore through the crowd*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen just walks after him.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Kellin, keep an eye on Lore. I'll keep an eye on the kids. 6He moves through the fox hole after the others.
<DeathStar> *the store keep eyes them* <Storekeeper> ... *he shifts a bit in his stance*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin doesn't respond because he's not here
<Seraphna> **Kaelan just walks by after paying, pausing to pay for Valen too**
<DeathStar> *McTreggor walks down some steps and enters a door in the right, closing it*
<DeathStar> *The back seems to be a storage area*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan follows after him and tilts her head, ears perking a bit as she heads for the same door**
<DeathStar> *a blinking red light is going - perhaps an alarm*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms, then moves in the right door too.
<DeathStar> *a hand snatches Valen and lifts him up in the dark*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks and twitches an ear** Leon?
<DeathStar> *Rachael peers about the hallways with Moira - many of the students seem to still be there and it looks like school as usual, but there is a noticable decrease*
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> Hm. Clean. *he turns the light and drops Valen, then snatches Kaelan and Zegretta, peering at them* Hm
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I actually miss takign class... it seemed so... normal."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I snuck in once the other day and took lessons.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei peers back, right fox ear twitching like Taiga*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Not a shifter still, Leon.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You're even more paranoid than last time, asshole.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt steps in finally, eyeing McTeggor grabbing the kids, his posture shifting to a defensive one
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Chill Val... maybe he's got a reason.
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> Says the people following someone, kids. *he lets them go then grabs Durt before he can*
<DeathStar> <McTreggot> ... clean.
<DeathStar> *he lets him go.*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Ohhh... you detect by touch?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...wait... whaaaaaaat?"
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Weird.
<DeathStar> *McTreggor lets go* It helps
<Xanatos> <Valen> ....
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We could have snuck in together."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ...Let's get past the weird grabbing people thing. What are you doing here?
<DeathStar> *McTreggor moves deeper into the room where two bodies are hanging on the wall*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well... we're on our own hunt and you keep showing up. We figured you might know something... huh... **she blinks and moves over, sniffing**
<Xanatos> <Valen> Uh, what the fuck? 6* He eyes the bodies.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Okay, I'm scarred for life now.
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> Dealt with some shifters when I noticed 3 powerful beings. *he motions* Shapeshifters. *the bodies look like they are barely being held together, the shifter bodies typically breaking apart afterward*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Wait you can sense people of power too, in addition to your shapeshifter thing?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It was spur of the moment stuff. *they soon reach the headmistress office*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eyes the bodies, not entirely phased. 1"Interesting."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen leans forward.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well yes, there's three... make that two gods here now.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Do you still sense 3 though?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt reaches over and baps Kaelan. 1"Keep that info quiet."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan flusters** We're never going to learn anything if we keep every detail close to the chest.
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> Only sometimes if they overly strong. At first I was not sure but at times they each did something that drew me. The runes made me curious. And this other one at a mansion is doing some weird stuff.
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> Otherwise I doubt I could
<Jackieness> <Moira> *reaches over to knock on Solstice's office door*
<Xanatos> <Valen> We have the same goal so I'll level with you. One of the three gods was killed, we want to know who did that. Wasn't you, was it?
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> Hm. *muses* I'm not sure. Your group makes things difficult. You all are strong yourselves.
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> And no I did not.
<DeathStar> <Headmistress> Come in
<ChadWinters> <Durt> We should regroup with the others. I don't like having them away with reduced numbers
<DeathStar> *Lorelei opens the door and steps in. Solstice is peering out the window at the crowd*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It'd be neat to learn how the heck you sense out Shifters. They seem to be after us as much as the gods are.
<Seraphna> *Michelle steps in with Lore**
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> Maybe one day I can tell you about my organization.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan taps her head** The moment Lore needs us I can foxhole us there.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *walks in* "Hi again. We're mostly here about the mess outside, though seriously I kind of want to resume classes again."
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> Anyway, I don't know much about these "Gods".
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> I just was investigtaing these strange occurances befor I left.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> They're connected.
<Xanatos> <Valen> They're just really powerful beings and they were dicks before and we're trying to stop them.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah... I'm starting to think the Shifters work for the ones we're hunting. Or at least, their boss.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eyes Kaelan. 1"That's an incredible leap.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Does your cult have like...perks to joining?
<DeathStar> *McTreggor muses* Perks like...?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Cool merch. Dope outfits.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Energy speaks. It must mean something significant that McTreggor here feels the power between them.
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> We do but I'm normally not wearing it due to being undercover
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah we should talk, I love outfits.
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> As for my ability, I have been trained to feel stuff due to my organization
<DeathStar> *Solstice turns to Moira* You are always welcome back like I said. Yes. The mess. Manus Dei found me it seems
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Cool and not at all creepy.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Found me?
<DeathStar> *you
<Seraphna> **Kaelan rubs the back of her head** You know... we haven't heard hide nor hair of the Templars in all of this. **she carefully watches McTreggor as she says that**
<DeathStar> *McTreggor raises a brow at that, studying Kaelan* Templars?
<DeathStar> *his face remains completely blank*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We noticed. Any idea how she found you or why she's doing this... whatever... this is?"
<DeathStar> <Solstice> She is convinced that I killed another God. And if I want peace she wants us to join forces. With me under her. This is a demonstration.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mm, last time this all happened we were frienemies with a zealous organization. From what I remember they also had some talents with channeling power. Some of our allies and even members of our group were a part of them.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *leans over to Lore and whispers* "...should we mention what happened?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hell, my sister is even named Zeal.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei pauses and shakes head* She might turn us in to save herself
<DeathStar> *McTreggor pauses a bit at that name* Interesting. So you say you were part of this organization yet you all look no older than 21.
<Seraphna> Michelle> <So it wasn't either of them?> *she asks over the Mark*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *nods* "So what will you do. Hedmistress Solstice?"
<ChadWinters> 6Durt sighs again, this time reaching out and flicking Kaelan's ear
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> <It seems so. I think we learned what we came for>
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It's... a very long and very complicated story and we don't even have all the de--- eep!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh come on... I know he was a part of this somehow too.
<Xanatos> <Valen> She thinks the cult you're with is this templar thing. What's their name?
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to say - I would not be under disguise without my armor if I was announcing it. Anyway, if you think these two "Gods" are a threat, I will lend you my help.
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> I always learn interesting things when I am around you all
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We could use it. You're strong. Besides I... **she frowns** Anyway we need the help.
<DeathStar> *Sol thinks for a moment and turns* I suppose I will have to decide if I will resist or join. My school's safety is the most important thing
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods* Of course
<Xanatos> <Valen> Cool, let's go find Lorelei.
<Seraphna> Michelle> It ain't gonna be very safe with a sicko like Manus in charge.
<DeathStar> <Solstice> I suppose that might be the case. I will keep that in mind.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *whispers to Lore* "We need to deal with Manus Dei before this gets out of hand."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods* If not Solstice might join forces with her
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *to Sol* Thank you for your time
<Seraphna> **Michelle nods** A smorgousboard of rich, young elites. Kinda sounds like she might have an alterior motive instead of caring a lick what happened to Di'Mantha.
<DeathStar> *Solstice considers that, peering out* .... You are dismissed.
<Seraphna> *Michelle turns to join the others** Hope tah see you safe. **she nods and moves to go**
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *back at the hotel, Lorelei studies McTreggor sitting at the table; he studies Rachael occassionally, as well as Zegretta and Kaelan, their fox ears and tails. And Lorelei especially* <Lorelei> That is the situation at the school
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I fear time is short if we plan to battle Manus Dei
<Xanatos> <Valen> This dude is in a cult. 6* He thumbs at McTreggor
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Were you able to convince her to fight along side us?
<Seraphna> Michelle> I think I left a hefty seed of doubt in her.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "She's focused on the school, but hasn't decided what to do yet. Manus Dei is trying to strongarm Solstice into an unequal alliance."
<Seraphna> Michelle> Manus is the sort where you only need to remind people what kind of person she is to get them to think about turning around.
<DeathStar> <McTreggor> *makes a face at the cult comment*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think Valen might have the right idea
<Xanatos> 6* Valen grins wide, it finally getting to him.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks, distracted.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I did?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Let us quit dancing around. Let us just attack now
<Seraphna> Kaelan> He did?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Er..do?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Fuck yeah!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So much for maid-recon."
<Seraphna> **Michelle muses** Guess it's all we got.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So we're going all in then?
<Xanatos> <Valen> If her slaves are at the school she won't as many people defending her!
<Seraphna> **Michelle muses** Still, I'll pack as many stunning arrows as I can.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Divide and conquer.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Rich stuffed shirts aren't useful as as army directly... unless they hired mercs for her."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh....you think they did that? 6* He looks at Moira.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> On paper, but if she makes them say, kill themselves if we dont' listen.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I am sure she will have a few of her most precious pets to play with so we need to becareful if she brings out shields. But we need to wear her down so I can rip her out like usual. Last time Kaori managed to blow the floor out of Yeger's feet
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So they are not unstoppable
<Seraphna> **Kaelan takes a breath** Alright. Guess we break out the gear.
<DeathStar> *Rachael rises* I will gear up. <Zegretta> I will as well. <Lorelei> Also remember - Solstic might join the battle either for us or against us. And she might even be an enemy afterward. That school situation cannot be allowed to remain forever
<Xanatos> 6* Valen runs off to grab his stuff.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Step by step.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Agreed. Everyone grab your stuff and get ready. 6He pushes himself up and moves to gear up
<DeathStar> *McTreggor rises, ready. Zegretta hurries off to prepare and Rachael does the same thing*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *goes to get ready*
* Stretch`cell has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 198 seconds)
<Seraphna> **Kaelan follows Zegretta to prepare and Michelle stretches, heading up to her room with Kellin to get changed into her tactical gear**
<DeathStar> *Zegretta pulls Kaelan close and kisses her*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> After this is done - maid outfit
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blushes and leans into it, holding her close**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> S-Sure.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Now - shake. *holds out hand*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blushes and shakes her hand**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *is in her black battle dress no, checkign the edge of her sword*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta hands or something*
<DeathStar> *She then skips off, winking*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin walks in, chewing on a toothpick. Glancing around at them getting ready he tilts his head, glancing to Lorelei.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks, looking at it**
<DeathStar> *it's a tiny black box*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Couldn't get much more out of her, couldn't find anymore clues either. You look like there's about to be a fight.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt steps out of his room. 1"Gear up, we're about to take on Manus
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Gear up? 6* He flicks his toothpick away.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan slowly opens it, blushing all the more**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. I do not like the idea of someone being able to do what I can do. Which leaves either another God, or Gartareh. So either Manus is covering her tracks, a third God came, or Gartareh really did it
<DeathStar> *it's a cute little ring*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I fight in this. 6* He motions to himself, then nods to Lorelei.
<Seraphna> **Michelle works on getting into her tactical suit, checking her bow summon and shouldering her backup**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blushes and puts it on, then puts the box away somewhere safe**
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Whoever did it was good, I spent way longer than I care to admist just looking around the floor for some sort of left behind print or thingy.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'm on board with the gartareh theory myself." *sheathes her sword then checks her stockings*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's concerning.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> But whoever it is, is compassionate. They could've just killed the host and get the same result, right Lore?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Once the Aquarius returns we can use it's tools to help you
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yeah, good point.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses* If they killed the host didn't Mantha say the God can jump to another person?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen walks out wearing an outfit similar to McTreggors expect he has a sword and shield. He stands beside him and does the same stance he's in.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "That's what her vidoe journal said."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Hmm, she did. But what if they had a way to stop it? It's just conjecture really, all in all we know someone can do what you can do.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So I'm not sure if it was compassion or what. But let us head ut
<Jackieness> <Moira> "... ... ...did Valen just impress on McTrggor?"
<DeathStar> *McTreggor muses, listening in on the team*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> He's at that age where he imprints on people
<Seraphna> **Kaelan steps out in a bit in her battle attire, sword at her hip, shield in the off position strapped to her arm like a bracer**
<DeathStar> -JUMP-
<DeathStar> *the team stands outside the large house, where a storm is forming*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Ominous.
<DeathStar> *McTreggor looks up*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Not obvious or anything...
<Xanatos> 6* Valen bounces from heel to heel, looking more anxious now.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> That's what we call "foreshadwoing"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei begins to walk up the drive way*
<Seraphna> Michelle> But it's so... cliche... **she sighs and walks up too**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt walks alongside Lore.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So is this power walk we are doing."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin forms his pistol as he waits to cover the rear of the group.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods and joins the hero walk**
<Xanatos> <Valen> Least we're not all in leather. Talk about squeaking.
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler moves to go sneak in the shadows
<DeathStar> *the glass stairs up to the glass windows show the living room area looks empty of people*
<DeathStar> *a thunderbolt hits the yard behind them*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Instead we're in Taiga's skin suits.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Seriously, what the hezzy?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ....That was loud. 6He sighs a bit as he rubs his ear holes
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well, that's mean.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei winces with her fox ears*
<DeathStar> *Rachael tries the door and finds it locked*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Leruste, be useful?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ha, burn.
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler slides up, pulls out his lockpicks from behind his ears
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Har har, maybe you should become a comedian, Kael.
<DeathStar> *Leruste opens the door. As they move inside they find a few servants unconcious in the kitchen*
<DeathStar> *there is some stairs down to the basement where there are sounds*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen activates the energy in his sword and shield, moving down the stairs.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt nods towards the stair
<DeathStar> *Lorelei turns to everyone* Anyone who is not ready for what we might see can turn back. *She pats Kaori especially - as if she were the youngest here*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...good thing we didn't do the maid thing afterall..."
<Sara> * Kaori makes an odd face
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Look I saw some melting bodies yesterday I don't think it gets much weirder
<Seraphna> **Michelle forms her bow and Kaelan draws her sword, activating her shield**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Prepare to be shocked then. 6He notes to Ler
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler pulls out his swords and once again tries to get all sneaky
<DeathStar> *as they walk down the stairs they find ... Manus having men and women naked and tied up, with her whipping them in various places of their body, but also torturing them in ways to bring about pleasure. Working to break their minds not just with pain but pleasure. She laughs at one man's expression as she brings her heel down on his groin and twists, wearing some strange outfit that shows most of her body, a BDSM like body but much more perverse. Then move onto a woman and grabs her breasts, twisting and making her call out her name* Say you'll worship me. And only me
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ...
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> <It's like the darkweb in here>
<Sara> * Kaori averts her eyes, staying close to the others
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves her hands to grip the hit of her sword*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt tenses his arm's, a dangerous look on his face
<Xanatos> <Valen> Some people pay good money for this sort of stuff. Or so I've been told.
<DeathStar> *Manus pauses, as if sensing something*
<DeathStar> *she licks her lips, letting the woman go*
<DeathStar> <Manus> Well well. *she runs her hand along a table with some blood* To think the runaways would walk into my den *she turns, her eyes burning brightly*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hi, we've come to talk to you about or lord and savior.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan stares, feeling an anger well within she rarely brings out, eyes going a little feral**
<DeathStar> *Manus pauses, staring at Valen*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "... ... ...fffffffffff..."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances around and sighs that no one did a surprise attack when he craftily distracted her.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta begins the battle, doing Spinning Slash 28 Damage + FoxFire Damage and pulls Manus near them with her Slash*
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler rushes in from where he was hiding, stabbing at Manus in the kidneys with one sword, keeping the other free to parry
<DeathStar> *Manus pants, feeling flower and takes the hit, eyeing the two with hatred*
<Seraphna> **Michelle pulls back an arrow and fires, aiming for something vital and guiding the arrow for a cleaner shot.** [Blackfeather: Strength multipler (+3 for 7) x 2 + 10 Weapon Damage = 30 damage]
<DeathStar> *the arrow hits her in the face and Manus' head snaps back*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think we're doing it
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Please don't break my arm. I need this arm. It's a good arm.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slides around to the left side as the arrow goes out and a large rifle form in Kellin's right hand, blasting out a Progengoon Bustah shot for Manus. No announcement or anything, his face is set and he wants to end this fast. [20 Damage + Hyperspace damage.]
<DeathStar> *Manus stumbles, shaking her head*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei forms her wings and does her swoop slash, doing 30 Damage. This knocks Manus off her feet, having lost over 100 HP. She rises, bleeding a bit*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen steps up and strengethens his shield with templar magik, then readies to absorb as much of Manus' first attack as he can.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *draws her sword into an iaido draw as she steps forward with a diagonal slash at Manus [Kenjutsu: Strength multipler x 2 + 8 Weapon Damage = 18 damage and Critical Chance (1 in 2 with Bleed Damage)]
<DeathStar> *Moira slashes her hard but barely misses the critical due to Manus shifting in time*
<Sara> * Kaori uses her fox fire to attack [Foxfire 1: Godhood multipler (+3 for 7) x 2 = 20 damage]
<DeathStar> *Manus burns and rises* ... Okay. That's how you want to play
<DeathStar> <Manus> I was going to go easy on you but. *she brings out a special whip and does 14 damage across the board with a 1 in 4 chance to induce pain and pleasure by 25%. If the team's pleasure maxes out at 100% they are defeated. However the team feels no pleasure from the attack so the roll fails. one second while I see what 14 damage is divided by
<Xanatos> 6* Valen's shield activates out wide, it should reduce some of the damge. [Says 6 shield / people so it that each or overall?]
<DeathStar> (Basically yuo shielded everyone)
<DeathStar> (Well)
<Xanatos> [Oh wait, I did templar Magic and that has 8 power to shield]
<Xanatos> 6* Valen drops the shield after it shatters from the attack, shaking his hand from the impacts. "Ow ow ow ow"
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> THANK YOU, VALEN
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I do not like the idea of being her pleasure slave. We need to becareful
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Valen is cool again right now."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves in past Valen after the shield shatters and throws a hey maker towards Manus, his muscle mass looking denser as he activates Strength of Hercules. (13 HP Damage)
<DeathStar> *Manus oofs. Rachael forms her Earth Fist and punches her in the face, doing 20 Damage + Earth Damage with a 1 in 3 chance to Knock Down. 1 second*
<DeathStar> *Maus is knocked down next round. Son of a bitch*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan growls softly, her ears and tail seem to become more alive as her eyes glow gently as she activates her Angelic Knight ability** [Doubles Strength]
<DeathStar> *McTreggor charges his sword and it glows with strange symbols and he strikes Manus with holy energy, doing 30 damage*
<DeathStar> *at that moment the ceiling crashes in around them and a figure with white hair trailing behind her lands on the ground. She looks a lot like Ama*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan's ears perk** Tsukiyomi?
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Dang that was a hell of an entrance.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> We've got company everyone.
<ChadWinters> 6He holds his hands up a bit to cover his face
<DeathStar> *Rachael shields her face as round one begins to come to a close. Manus strains to sit up, but seems to be unable to for this second. Tsukiyomi turns, looking not as strong as she used to - perhaps something has been occurring in the Earth sessions on the moon that will occur in the future. She turns to eye Manus* Found you all.
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> I heard you all were back. *she holds up her hand, looking not quite in her right mind, like she might take down the entire room with the team in it* <Lorelei> I think another problem just came in
<DeathStar> -END-
* kalonZombee has left #TAW-Session374
