From dannimal@engin.umich.eduFri Mar 24 15:48:57 1995 Date: Fri, 24 Mar 1995 14:15:07 -0500 (EST) From: Dann Fuller To: shadows@umich.edu Subject: Dann's Game log (Log lite) Okay, so Sylvie DOESN'T want to go along with Ulysses to Chaos. Which means she's got a plan. Ulysses asks her if she knows of a fast time shadow where he can go, and she suggests that Tianen might know of such a place. Ulysses Trumps Tianen, and she reluctantly agrees to escort him to said shadow, seeing as he did get her out of that nasty old dungeon. He gathers up a full suit of Armor, and begins a project. Mok and Sandr discuss Sandr's amulet, and what it's good for. Nothing. Sandr give it to Mok, more to be rid of it, than anything else. But, it should be able to follow Shadow paths, if the shit hits the fan. Mok Trumps Archi about bringing mecha armies to chaos, and this time Archi says ok, if only to shut Mok up. Merlin and Sky arrive, and Merlin offers his help to Archi. Mok goes to gather the army. Cameron is talking with Lindell about stuff, most of which happens while passing notes to the GM. There is a discussion amongst the Choas goers on what exactly one should wear, and that one should be sure NOT to kill Laughter or Melanie, especially Laughter, as she's the reason for the trip in the first place. Random gets a hold of Archi, wpndering if he was eveer going to get his ticket on the clue bus. Archi explains things, and Random details that fertility = higher when Jewel = on. Archi frowns upon this, and implores Random to stop using the jewel. Oh, how prophetic that was, no? Fiona and Mandor arrive at the gathering, causing people to shut up, for fear of saying something stupid. Smart people. Ulysses arrives shortly thereafter, decked out in a styling set of armor, and a shield bearing the sign of the Unicorn. People are a little confused by Tank Boy. The rest of the group spells up their defenses, and they group begins it's venture. Along the way, the group comes across a very beat senseless Eric. After debat on what to do, Eric is passed through Trumpto Gerard, who is far better suited to handle this. Not too long after Eric is gone, and well before the party reaches the Ygg meeting place, Trump holes swallow everyone. Archi ends up in a labyrinth, and tries to get out. He fails. No Trump, no Shifting, no donut. So, he conjures up a rope and grapple, deciding to get a little perspective on the situation. He wanders along the tops of the walls, until he comes across a little bit of Egypt, right here in sunny Florida. Deciding that he can't kick the Sphinx's ass, he goes away. Ulysses finds similarly that Trump nor Shifting work in this maze place. Thankfully, large bore beam weapons work just fine, and he's got two of them, and batteries to spare. He eruditely figures that if he marks the walls, he will have a much easier time of getting out of the maze. He figures wrong. Marking one wall segment magically marks all of them. Someone is smart. But, thankfully for our hero, not smart enough. Mr. Too Heavy to Climb uses his Laz-O-Matics to carve him some nice ladder steps into the wall. He climbs to the top, and sees a figure waaaaaaaaay out in the distance. He fires his gun into the are as a beacon, and then hears a woman screaming. Ever valiant, at least for now, he goes to the source of the scream. It's a woman, being assualted by minotaurs. Ulysses, figuring he might get laid if he saves her, does so. The damsel lies bleeding on the ground below, but Ulysses doesn't go to her, mainly for lack of a smart way to get down. Archi comes upon Ulysses, grapple and all, and asks to be lowered to the ground. Ulysses does this, and then comes down himself. The woman is Sand. They venture off through the walls, blasters in hand. Sand is a little on the blood thirsty side, if you catch my drift. Meanwhile, Sandr has landed in the maze as well, albeit under his horse. Ow. He discovers that his leg has an odd shpe to it, and it hurts a lot. So, he casts a spell to numb the pain. Wise. He gets up and starts walking around. Unwise. He becomes unvisible. He wanders around, falls through a trap door, and faces down a big mean puppy. He kills it. He then encounters a mad wizard, wanting a wizard's duel. Sandr casts "Kill asshole" and the wizard dies. Sandr put the physical lynchpin, his laser pstiol, away. A stairway appears in front of him. He goes up. Sky and Melanie find themselves in the company of Shandril. She's civil, and the three talk, discover that Shan is Eric's daughter, and that Maron is working with Finndo and Jubal in taking over Amber. Oops. Shan goes to talk to Maron, and Sandr arrives. Laughter finds herself in Kaelvala, which happens to be the place where Archi was mind raped before the game ever started. So much for "The GM will forget all about it" She is with some nutball who's called Vainlikemadonna, but Vain for short. He's Archi's son. He should have been called Smuglittlebastard, or Smug, but hey. Mok get's to Ygg, Mecha army in tow, and finds that the big tree is all alone. He tries Trumping Archi, and Sandr, and fails. he tries Laughter. She pulls him to happy tech land. He notices that Pain is handcuffed, and discovers it's because he attacked Laughter upon discovery that she was Archi's wife. They;re all in a police station, btw. Mok tries Trump again, but it doesn't work. Vanity boasts that Trumping Amber is futile, since 3 armies are marching on it, as they speak. Laughter Trumps Gerard. It seems Arden is gone, and Tonic and Gindo is back in charge. It will be dealt with later. Sylvie tries to convince Cameron to come with her to the Demon Underwear, (I told you she had a plan) can try to smoothe the path for Ulysses and gang. Cameron limply agrees. Lindell announces that Laughter has arrived, and has people with her. Cameron and Sylvie go out to greet them. Cameron is a pain, not that that's news. Sylvie makes him look stupid, which is also old hat. Mok and Laughter and army get to the Demon Underarm, and find that the demons know Laughter is something special. That is, until Gwar comes and does a few songs. Um, no. I mean, unti Guariel points out that Laughter isn't Lark, the pattern ghost, who is posing as LAughter, as head of house. Um, yeah. So, the deamon armies attack our heroes. Bad. Shandril lets Sky and Melanie and Sandr go, giving them an amulet that will allow them to get out of the maze. They leave, and soon hear the sound of beam weaponry being turned on stonework. They fly over to the ruckus, and find Archi, Sand, and Ulysses all playing blast-a-path. Archi is desperate to find Laughter, having used his secret decoder ring to divine that she is in danger. So, Melanie flys Archi out of the maze, leaving Sandr, Sand, and San...I mean Ulysses to ge tout on their own. They do, eventually, and Sandr patternports them to the Demon Unhappyplace. There, they find that Laughter and Mok and Army are surrounded by ugly demons. Archi was dropped into Laughter's area, and is trying to free her. Ulysses, fastest guns in the cave, begins to cut through the deamons like a hot knife through butter. He gets to Laughter, and Trumps he and her to Foil. Sandr plays "Watch the pattern burn the demon", while Melanie notices that Fire Demons are coming. Oh, bad. So, she and Archi and Sandr douse them. Water is your friend. Fire demons find themselves on the endangered demon list. The group, including Mok and his mecha retreat. Cameron and Sylvie stay inburrito, in an attempt to gather information. Back in Foil, Laughter swats Ulysses, but he's stronger than her, even in her "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry" state. He explains that Archi told him to do that, and she should go kick HIS ass. Back in Chaos, one of the leaders of the Demon Underwire swoops in, beheads Lark, and does a nsty job on Guariel, then trots in to see the serpent. This after a price was put on the heads of everyone who had a part in kicking the demon's asses that day. Oh well. ______________________________________________________________________________ Dann Fuller Journ Tarmakk Prince Ulysses of Amber Mac/IBM Repair Chancellor, Eternal Ban Trump Artist, Alcoholic, CAEN Service Center Technicolor Conjuror Nymphomaniac, and all 313-763-5413 Eternal Citadel, Faerun around fun guy. --- dannimal@engin.umich.edu --- Golf, an relaxing break from the hassle of the rat race, constantly interrupted by an annoying little white ball. ______________________________________________________________________________
