[October 16, 2020. Kahlya gets the tourney setup call.] * Breaker speaks on the other end. "'ey. Warlow's 'recusing' herself or something, so I'll handle this. Where you wanna fight?" * Kahlya starts to answer on the other end, then stops. "Wait, re-what now?" The good reverent isn't so keen on deaders. What she said. * Kahlya makes a face, though no one on the other lines can see it. "Oh gee. Tolerant organization we've got there. Let's see. Where do you pick, Eris?" I'm flexible. ( Yvonne can say that literally. ) Wonderful. Forested swampland work for you? * Eris snorts. "Did a voodoo master bring you back or something?" She then considers for a moment. "Fine." Look, if you want, I'm sure I can think of some place better. I just... * Eris waits for Kahlya to finish her sentence. ( Bottom of the river XD ) Nevermind. Let's go with it. If not finishing your sentences is your attempt at the vampiric tormented soul schtick, I'm unimpressed. * Breaker takes a second to process that and then snorts. I'm sorry that I don't exist to impress you. For your sake, I hope you aren't trying to impress someone else. Save it for the fight. What do you mean by that? * Eris starts to respond but Breaker cuts off the call. She's more one for physical, not verbal sparring. * Yvonne has joined #SAB2020 [And a few hours later, Kahlya, Eris, Breaker, and a small anglican entourage head to the wetlands.] * Brett has left #SAB2020 * Eris has on boots and hiking gear that provide some protection against the damp. She wears a cape over that. There's numerous bulges for rods and vials and the like under the cape, but it isn't clear exactly what she's carrying. There's a discordian holy symbol on a necklace she wears. Finally she has a sorcery boosting choker that SAB gave her in payment.] * Kahlya snorts as she sees the entourage. "Oh great. The party's here. Shall I break out the champagne?" She looks at Breaker. "So these are the ones watching? Anyone else?" [The swamp itself is dreary and minimal light breaks through the forest canopy. There are dry knolls to stand on, elsewhere the water tends to be dark, opaque, and waist deep. Roots poke up from beneath the surface at regular intervals.] Yvonne's watching. You two ready? * Kahlya , for the record of those who haven't seen her recently, looks noticeably more pale and older than before, though she's wearing what looks like survival gear. She's still got her scythe strapped to her back, though in this case she's not trying to hide it. * Eris draws a knife from her belt and tosses into the air, catching it on the descent. There's an inscription on the blade that can be read with a +4 sight check. I am. * Kahlya shakes her head and pulls out her scythe, spinning it a bit overhead and then holding it behind her. "Maybe. Don't know, I might be a little rusty from the ordeal." She sighs longingly. "Sheez, does everyone know about it?" * Breaker shrugs. "Don't know. Anyways, I'll be with the watchers. Ready..." * Breaker and her small entourage head off. [Initiative rolls.] [Oh, and give me a sixth sense roll as well Kahlya.] * Kahlya looks at Eris and smiles a little bit. Those who look close (and have before) might notice that she's minus the fangs now. "Forgive me in advance for the blood I may spill." ( Yvonne still has hers though ) I've never put much stock in forgiveness. [Eris, Kahlya.] * Breaker gets over by the watch area. "Go!" [Eris!] * Eris, rather than catching her knife this time, flicks it at Kahlya as she steps back and vanishes. [Her throw would not earn an impressive score at darts, but it is enough to force a defense roll.] [Kahlya knocks the dagger away and it then vanishes. Kahlya!] * Kahlya smirks. "Little scamp. Aren't you the killjoy?" She turns around and makes a swipe towards her left. (So edit that to "makes a dash for her left and takes a swipe." [Kahlya needs to head into the mire to swing, Eris is actually floating invisibly a bit above it. The sorceress backpedals sharply but still gets hit and there's a large splash as she's knocked back into the mire.] [Any secondary attacks...] * Kahlya chuckles and follows through, leaping out of the mire. "Nice try. Those dummies do anything, or are they just for show?" She seems to be starting something up mid-air as frost glistens but isn't quite ready to let loose yet. * RowynXmasTreeShoppyn has joined #sab2020 * Kahlya has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) * RowynXmasTreeShoppyn is now known as Kahlya [Eris reappears and the magic spots converge on her and then diverge into five seperate sorceress floating above the water. They're all scowling. "Not enough." She waves a hand and the leaves and trees rustle and the swamp area becomes dappled with sunlight. Although the spots aren't that big and can be avoided. All the Eris's sit in one.] [Kahlya!] [And one of the lights is near enough to Kahlya to potentially be a threat. Not dead on though. Ranged (defense) roll to avoid.] (Ranged defense (personal) rather) * Kahlya sighs and tries to maneuver her jump backwards towards a branch to avoid the light. "Cheap tactic, considering I didn't even want it spread that I was coming back like this." She swings her scythe at the Eris's, chilling the air (and, incidently the swamp around it) "Chilling Stream." (What's the spread on that? She's not going to get all of them.) [Kahlya manages to hit three of the targets and they falter under the attack as do the other two.] [And Kahyla's extra attack.] [Eris is no longer registering a higher power signature. Although there's definite magic at the light dapples.] * Kahlya frowns and glances at the two left. "Perfect." She leaps towards the one on the left, avoiding the light falls and takes a swing at it. (On the left? Which are you refering to? They surround her, all five presently cringing a bit from pain, three entangled.) (The one on her left that's not entangled.) (The one closest to her left at least. (Give me another -4 luck roll.) * Eris is knocked back for real this time, again getting knocked back into the water.] [Eris rolls with the damage but still loses a bit of time. She flees as her illusions recenter themselves and then spread off in different directions keeping five meters between each of them. As she flees the pools of light expand substantially. Moving fast around them will require an acrobatics roll.] [Kahlya!] * Kahlya scowls and shouts out. "You're only delaying things." She checks her scythe and hmmphs, looking about for a moment, then hopping towards a treebranch to keep close to the shade. [She's able to make well enough to tell that Eris's illusions have the same basic magic signature that she does. The invisibility spell, or some other big spell on her, would be enough to tip the balance to distinguish her. But she's apparently avoiding buffs.] [However, Kahlya can also tell that the light spots are illusions. * Kahlya keeps moving to avoid the light spots. No sense in tipping off that she might know just yet. She heads towards the group and slows as she approaches, waiting for Eris to make her move. [The Eris's move to again surround Kahlya all staying out the outer edge of short range so some distance from each other. They all throw daggers at Kahlya.] [4 are on enough to be worth dodging, +3 as per auto fire.] [Kahlya spins about and easily knocking the daggers away from one direction and then another.] [Kahlya!] [Kahlya notices that they all have Eris's scent, but one has a stronger smell of blood.] * Kahlya snorts. "Nice try, but you're going to need to get a hit in to score this." She sniffs the air lightly, then dashes forward, jumping over the bloodied Eris's with an upward swing. If she's right, she'll follow through with it with a downward swing down the back. [Eris takes the hit and gets knocked back and upwards. She grabs a tree branch as she flies back and swings up to sit on top of it. Kahlya follow up!] * Kahlya smiles and keeps jumping, cutting up through the tree branch and hopefully through her too. * Marguerite has quit IRC (Quit: ) * RowynXmasTreeShoppyn has joined #sab2020 * Kahlya has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) * RowynXmasTreeShoppyn is now known as Kahlya [Eris doesn't get out of the way in time. The tree branch takes some of the damage, but she's bloodied and knocked down.] * Kahlya lands on her feet and walks up to her afterwards and bends down slightly. "Yield yet?" * Eris starts falling back full speed. At the same time she and her illusions start glowing and all draw a wand of some sort. Not just yet. * Kahlya loses her smile a little bit. "Clever girl..." She starts making it more weaving through the trees for cover. [Light does shine directly at Kahyla's face. She'll need ranged dodge, +2 from spreading. She can block, but then she can't see where she's going.] * RowynXmasTreeShoppyn has joined #sab2020 * Kahlya has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) * RowynXmasTreeShoppyn is now known as Kahlya [Light laps over Kahlya, normal flesh would simply be warmed, but to her flesh it feels like fire.] [Eris grins as she points the black rod at Kahlya in addition to the rest of the light, and give me a flare defense roll. Body, -4 bonus.] Session Time: Mon Dec 12 00:00:00 2005 [Kahlya's blinks at the light, but can still see fine.] [Kahyla!] * Kahlya screams and dives in the water to cool it off. "That's a dirty trick! I was waiting for when you were going to use something real against me. * Kahlya then jumps out and heads to cut the illusions off first before attacking. * RowynXmasTreeShoppyn has joined #sab2020 * Kahlya has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) * RowynXmasTreeShoppyn is now known as Kahlya * Kahlya leaps past her and draws the scythe backhand. "Too slow!" She draws it across the air, freezing and spreading again in line with the illusions, hoping to catch as many of the Eris's as possible. [Eris is badly bloodied and frozen. The illusions disappear and it's revealed that her light is actually some sort of vamp hunter grade flash light.] [Although it's still point at Kahlya, luck and then dodge +2 roll to see if it's frozen in a position where it's aimed at her.] [The flashlight was pointed in the right direction but Kahlya manages to dive out of the way in time.] [Kahlya!] * Kahlya gets out of the way of the light and seems to be huffing heavily. Despite not being injured that much (which the burns seem to be retreating slowly), she seems to be taking it worse than it appears on the surface. "God dammit, yield! Quick!" [Eris is frozen and not saying anything.] * Kahlya looks her over and walks forward. "Perhaps I overdid it a little.." She takes out her canteen and takes a swig, then knocks on the ice. "Uh, hey. You okay, kid?" [Breaker and Yvonne head over, but are a few rounds away.] [No response...] * Kahlya starts knocking on the ice with her scythe, trying to break her out of that. (Or one of Eris's daggers if that's available.) [They're frozen with her. They always disappeared after being thrown.] [Kahlya successfully knocks away the ice with a few swaps. Eris slumps, but she is breathing, but not that deeply.] * Kahlya works more on knocking away the ice. [And Eris is freed, Breaker and Kahlya show up about now, priest shortly therafter.] (priests) * Kahlya holds her and breathes a sigh of relief, smiling a bit. "You scared me. I can't have another one on my hands after what I went through." * Yvonne arrives too, munching on popcorn. "'nother what?" She's alright? Good. ::She then looks up at Kahlya and makes a wipe at her mouth gesture:: * Kahlya snickers and stands up. "Good to..." She blinks at Breaker and wipes the blood dribbling down her mouth. * Breaker smiles and nods. We'll take her from here. * Kahlya looks at Eris. "Pity really. If she'd gotten away from the illusions and used some real magic, it might have been harder on me." How hard? * Kahlya looks up. "Oh.." She holds her hands about a centimeter or two apart. [Priests carry Eris off.] Though I'm glad she caught on. It wouldn't have been any fun otherwise. * Kahlya then gives Breaker a knowing look. "By the way..." Yeah? I guess Warlow's not here to see this. I'm not really fighting for the SAB anymore. * Breaker nods. "There's invisible cameras or something. She'll see it." * Yvonne munches. "Is anyone?" I'm sure she'll be happy to hear that. It's just crap that my revival's kind of 6 o'clock news." * Yvonne grins. "Yeah, everyone knows about it. You're all old and dead and stuff now."] * Kahlya smiles at Yvonne. "Probably not. Thanks for coming to see me." * Kahlya pouts. "Old? I'm like in my 20s. I'm not old." So you fighting for yourself or something? And you're both old. Move on. At least I think I am. *rubs her forehead* This is so confusing... * Kahlya looks at Breaker. "Yeah, I guess you could say that." * Kahlya looks up at Yvonne. "Do you drink?" * Yvonne nods. "Yep! Nothing like a drunken orgy." * Kahlya grins. "Good. I've always been wanting to try it. Well, the first part. Now I look old enough that I might not get carded." Right... Yeah.. see you guys next round. * Breaker heads to catch up with the priests. * Kahlya waves to Breaker, then calls out. "Don't forget your promise!" Well if you wanna.... But I'm warning you, I don't do undead. * Kahlya blinks at Yvonne. "I'm not trying to get done." * Kahlya looks down at herself. "Though I have to admit, it's kind of nice filling out a dress now." * Breaker nods and waves back. "I'll have it for you come round three." You've never been drunk before. (And that's all the NPCs. You guys are welcome to go mini or something.) (Nah. We'll mini later or just do it offscreen. Especially if Brett's feeling subpar.) ( K ) (okay, any last comments?( ( Nah, that was mine :P ) * Kahlya walks off towards the transportation. And then the bar! [End!]
