Savage Worlds Ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II
(c) 2009 Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
Zach Dallas: So, how'd your night go, Zeke?
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm all whored out
Ezekial Ikwiano: Can't feel my left leg neither
Zach Dallas: Eh, doesn't look as bad as Uriel's
Zach Dallas: walk it off
Ezekial Ikwiano: What'd you and Uriel get up to while I was whorin?
Zach Dallas: Check out these badass crosses!
Zach Dallas hands Zeke a Badass Cross
Zach Dallas: They make you practically magic immune
Ezekial Ikwiano: I like the sound a that
Zach Dallas: well, really just a very large negative modifier
Ezekial Ikwiano: Do they work against bullets?
Zach Dallas: Please don't shoot me to find out
Zach Dallas: Magic bullets? Probably
TADM: (POLL) Zeke Shoots Zach to find out
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): lol
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I wonder who selected the check mark?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): who could it have been?!
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): You'll never know
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): It was Kristen Scott Thomas
TADM: I thought it was Rebekah Brooks. Think of the headlines!
Zach Dallas: lol
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Maybe it was Jenny McCarthy
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): She probably thought you were a baby
TADM: Well, if it was Casey Anthony...you'd have been dead for three weeks already.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): lol
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): We are horrible
TADM: But don't worry! She's just as acquitted as OJ!
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Sacre Bleu!
TADM: Remember kids, in this country there is a huge difference between "not guilty" and "acquitted"
TADM: So, which prospective NPC ally will be killed because Uriel is not here? Hmm...
It is morning, there are 18 days until the big shindig in the City of Lost Angels.
What would the party like to do? There is no sign of Mrs. Grey or Xiu Li.
Zach Dallas: Where did Xiu Li go?
Ezekial Ikwiano: She didn't come with me
Ezekial Ikwiano: I woulda noticed that
Zach Dallas: I was going to ask if that's why you can't feel your leg
Ezekial Ikwiano: Hehehe
TADM: She left to try and recruit help for you by visiting a nearby buddhist monastery....which I seem to have accidentally deleted from last week's chat log.
TADM: Time keeps on slipping...slipping away...
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how convenient
Smythe has left to track down Dillenger and a couple other members of the Explorer's society.
Zach Dallas: So, I think we've got a few allies here
Zach Dallas: 1) Fort 51 should probably have allies that we can use
Zach Dallas: 2) If we could go to Coffin Rock and get Tacheene's blessing, that'd be awesome. We could also try to find Laughs at Shadows as well, since he was in that area last
Ezekial Ikwiano: Sounds like a plan to me
Ezekial Ikwiano: Where's Coffin Rock
Ezekial Ikwiano: And who is Tacheene
Zach Dallas: Then of course we need to go to Perdition for our gear
Zach Dallas: Tacheene is a badass mountain spirit. He was The Boss of some of the mountains in Colorado until some twisted bastard locked him away and started stealing his power. We helped him out, so he might give us more bling
Zach Dallas: He tricked out Doc's robot suit
Zach Dallas: So Fort 51 has Bailey, MacVellian, and others
Zach Dallas: that are hopefully not dead
GM: I notice Zach is not mentioning the prospective trip to the Devil's Postpiles.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): that wouldn't happen to have been the place where we were before, would it? The spot we got the Shaman's Skull from?
GM: But then, that was Cynthia Grey's suggestion...
GM: Nope, the Shaman's Skull was Jehosaphat Valley.
Zach Dallas: Oh, and we have Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp
Ezekial Ikwiano: Well, I don't know any these people
Zach Dallas: Do you have any allies?
Zach Dallas tilts his hat
Ezekial Ikwiano: Not that I know of
Ezekial Ikwiano: good point
Ezekial Ikwiano: You lead, I'll follow
Ezekial Ikwiano: And shoot people what we don't like
Ezekial Ikwiano: What's the closes one of these guys you talkin' about?
Zach Dallas: Colorado...
Zach Dallas: Actually, do you think we can go to that ghost island again?
Zach Dallas: Maybe we can find some awesome undead to help us!
Ezekial Ikwiano: You mean the island where I got attacked by a shit monster?
Zach Dallas: Yes
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'll stay on the boat
Zach Dallas: Hey, if you don't provide the crap, they can't make crap golems
Zach Dallas shrugs
Zach Dallas: Keep your pants on and you should be safe
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): When life gives you crap, make crap golems!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lulz
Ezekial Ikwiano: I've heard that before
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas: Spirit [1d8 = 9]
Zach Dallas: Let's go check out that island
Zach Dallas: I want to see if I can work something out
Ezekial Ikwiano: Fine, but if we get attacked by another shit monster I am getting in the boat and leaving you behind
Zach Dallas: Plus, we should probably get our gold back
Zach Dallas: This might be our last time to use it
Zach Dallas heads off to gather the gold and speak with that creepy crazy guy
Ezekial Ikwiano follows Zach and lights a cigar.
The two of you head down to the docks. It is dark and overcast, an unseasonably cold wind blows in from the bay. The Sturgeon is at the docks. Captain Fong waves to you when he sees you.
Ezekial Ikwiano waves to Captain Fong
Captain Fong: Hello my friends! Miss Grey has said that I am to ferry you wherever you wish to go, we are not needed to transport the army.
Captain Fong: So where can I take you?
Ezekial Ikwiano: We need a ride back to the evil ghost island
Ezekial Ikwiano: Zach thinks it wont end badly
Zach Dallas: Isle of Ghost Tears, two way ticket
Captain Fong: No problem, we will sail close and you can take the launch to shore.
Zach Dallas: OK
Zach Dallas: That should work
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): does this ship actually have sails?
GM: No, it is a 100% ghost-rock powered ironclad, bristling with cannons.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): OK
Captain Fong expertly guides the ship out of the docks and over to the island. He brings the ship to a halt and has the crew ready the rowboat so you can head to shore.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Cannons are good
Zach Dallas heads to shore
Ezekial Ikwiano follows Zach, and rows the boat.
It is now about 0900, with 18 days left to go.
Ezekial Ikwiano (singing): Row, row, row your boat, gently to your death
Zach Dallas stands on the front of the boat
Zach Dallas: Agility [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
TADM: And falls in the water?
Zach Dallas stops standing and decides to sit before he leaves the boat
You row to shore, the sky is more overcast now, almost like it is night time.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): hey, I got a 4!
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Zeke would have his back to the bow as well
There is no movement on the beaches, the island is deathly silent.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is it actually night time?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): also, fear level?
Ezekial Ikwiano (singing): I'm gonna go bring the gold back to the boat
Ezekial Ikwiano: Smarts [1d6 = 11]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): any sign of the crazy guy?
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [1d4-1 = 5]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): wooo!
Zeke finds his stash of gold and starts digging it up. Zach does not see the crazy guy. He does hear, then see, the crow flapping around in the distance. It is circling above a ruined pagoda in the center of the island.
Zach Dallas heads over to the pagoda
Ezekial Ikwiano digs the gold out from under the bushes and returns it to the boat.
The pagoda being outlined by a flash of lightning overhead, that is how Zach saw it at this range in the darkness.
TADM: (As in, whoops, I did not look at the scale of the map.)
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how far away is it?
It takes Zach about 12 minutes to walk up to the pagoda. Other than the flapping of the crow and the occasional flash of lightning, there is nothing present on the island that Zach can see. About ten minutes into his walk, Zach realizes something a bit odd...for all the lightning overhead, he has yet to hear thunder.
Zach Dallas waves to the crow
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is that including DA?
The crow circles a couple times, then land on the top of the pagoda and gives Zach a look that could only be considered, "Appraising of Combat Value."
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Appraisal: Not much
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Q.Q
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d10 = 17]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [Critical failure!] [1d4 = 1]
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [1d4-1 = 1]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Mine's technically better than yours
GM: Zeke can't figure out why is it so dark...perhaps his hat has slid down?
GM: That or he is keeping a lookout for sharks.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): but...you failed the roll...
Zach Dallas continues to the pagoda
GM: Yes, which is why he is staring inland looking for the telltale fins above the sand. Damn landsharks.
GM: Notice check from Zach
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-1 = 1]
GM: Preferably above a 4.
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-1 = 2]
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [1d6-1 = 4]
GM: Okay, guess not.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Aha!
GM: Third time's the charm!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): got me a benny left, too!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): that's one of the things I'm doing in the next game: Awareness
GM: Zach notices a stunningly beautiful, but also glowing green and translucent woman floating in the middle of the pagoda. She is singing to herself in some form of Chinese.
Zach Dallas: double take
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [1d4-1 = 2]
Zach Dallas: Huh
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): does she seem to be the center of the storm?
GM: Not that Zach can tell.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how large is this pagoda? my pics are showing 2-10 story buildings
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I don't suppose she looks like Isabella, does she?
GM: It would have been a 2 story building when it was intact.
GM: She does not look like Isabella.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how is the crow reacting to her?
GM: The crow is watching you, it appears to be ignoring her.
Zach Dallas waves at the crow again
Zach Dallas heads up towards the woman
GM: After about a minute, she restarts her song.
GM: How close are you getting?
Zach Dallas: Hm...
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): we'll say 20 feet
Zach Dallas: Hello?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): or less, if she reacts
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): er, more
GM: The spectral woman turns to face you when you speak. It looks like she has been crying, and she begins speaking to you in Chinese.
Zach Dallas: Hmmm
Zach Dallas: Now would be a good time to speak Chinese...
Zach Dallas glances at the crow
Zach Dallas: I don't suppose you could translate?
Zach Dallas tips his hat to the crow
GM: The crow bobs its head and screeches loudly.
Zach Dallas: Hmmm
GM: Vigor check from Zach
Zach Dallas: I don't speak crow either
Zach Dallas: Vigor [1d6 = 5]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): whew
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I'm back
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I had to make a vigor roll!
Ezekial Ikwiano: Still no sharks, gotta keep a watchful eye.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): What brings you to this island?
GM: Yes, Zach understands somehow...
Zach Dallas looks startled for a moment, then nods thankfully to the crow
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Lol, her name is an anagram for Enhancing Gum
Zach Dallas: Curiosity. I was hoping to learn more about this place and spirits in general.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): This place is cursed. The spirits are hunted by the wolf. Destroy the wolf and free the spirits.
Zach Dallas: Where is the wolf?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): On the island.
Zach Dallas: Is it an actual, mobile wolf?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I have never seen it, for it runs from me but preys on the lesser spirits.
Zach Dallas: I also remember there was an old man on this island as well. Do you know where he went to?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): He wanders the island or sleeps in his cave. I have no dealings with him.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): He also stays far from this spot.
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d12 = 11]
Zach Dallas: How would the wolf compare with the crow?
Zach Dallas: Or can they compare?
Meng Chiang-Nu: D12 [1d12 = 12]
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): The crow?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is it still there?
GM: Nope, it has vanished.
Zach Dallas: Hm. It was up there a moment ago. It's got a very strong magical aura on it
Zach Dallas: It was also kind enough to translate for me
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I do not know of this crow that you are speaking of.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): albeit it caused a vigor check
Zach Dallas: Ah, nevermind then
Zach Dallas: How long has this island been cursed?
GM: Zeke swears he just saw two shark fins running through the sand about fifty feet from him.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Since the world ended and the water flooded this land.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol good thing you failed that notice check
Zach Dallas: Do you know who cursed it? Or what?
Zach Dallas expects the wolf
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): The anger of the Earth Spirits.
Zach Dallas looks surprised
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): They caused the world to end and the waters to come.
Zach Dallas: Really, now?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): When the waters come, best be watching out for sharks
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): they're waiting on the land, to catch you off guard
Zach Dallas: Well, I suppose there's been enough curse to go around for a while. Perhaps we should end this then.
Zach Dallas: Tell me, do you know anything about controlling one's ki?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Your mind is too cluttered for such things, and you have too many living within you.
Zach Dallas: Can you give me a number?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): You must empty your cup before you try to fill it.
Meng Chiang-Nu looks at Zach Dallas carefully.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I would say two.
Zach Dallas holds out cards, A-8, of diamonds
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): 867-5309
Zach Dallas: In addition to me, correct?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Yes
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): damn you
Zach Dallas: Do you have any opinion of them?
TADM: Only Zach Dallas would ask an undead ethereal woman for her number in the first ten minutes of their acquaintance.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I've dialed 867-5309
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Both are very powerful, and neither is evil.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Got an out of service message
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): At least, evil as you would understand it.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): it's the number for Benjamin Plumbing over here. Gotta have the right area code.
Zach Dallas: So, not destroy-the-world evil?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I think it should just connect to Tommy Health, no matter where you are in the world
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): The world is already destroyed.
Zach Dallas: Nah, I'm sure we can fix this
Zach Dallas: It might not be the same, but we can fix it
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d10 = 3]
Meng Chiang-Nu laughs.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Naive optimism, how cute.
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d10 = 6]
Zach Dallas: I keep getting that...
Zach Dallas: I'll burn some incence for you after we finish Grimm. Where would be the best spot for that?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): So, Zach Dallas, what is your plan?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Killing the Wolf will help far more than any ritual you can concoct.
Zach Dallas: Oh, that's one plan
Zach Dallas: But I was hoping to trap these evil spirits and ancient horrors in Hell, lock the gates, and stow away the key
Meng Chiang-Nu laughs.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Audacious, bold, and completely impractical.
Zach Dallas: Hey, even if I lose I can still win, with goals like this
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Well, I give you credit for trying.
Zach Dallas: I'll be off to get my friend and that wolf, now. Do you need anything else?
Zach Dallas: Incence burned, prayeres said, last wishes, etc
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): No, I have enjoyed our conversation. I shall see you again.
Zach Dallas: Hopefully
Zach Dallas: You'll outlast the wolf, I take it?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): We shall see how the world turns.
Zach Dallas smiles
Zach Dallas: Here
Zach Dallas pulls out a deck of cards
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): (untainted, ordinary, sealed deck of cards)
Zach Dallas: I've got incentive to return
Zach Dallas: Uh, can you catch?
Meng Chiang-Nu looks at Zach thoughtfully.
Zach Dallas: Not sure how far spirit-bodies can go
GM: So are you tossing her the cards?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): sure
Zach Dallas: Throwing {-2 One Eye} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-2 = 1]
Zach Dallas flinches
Zach Dallas: sorry, can't aim
Zach Dallas aims at his eye patch
The deck of cards sails through the air, flying nowhere near the ethereal woman. She reaches out a hand and the deck splits open, the cards swirl around her like a miniature tornado. She flips her wrist and they fling upwards into the ceiling, embedding in the rotting wood of the pagoda.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I hope you are not planning on throwing anything at the wolf. Perhaps if you corrected about six feet to your left?
Meng Chiang-Nu vanishes.
Zach Dallas laughs
Zach Dallas heads out towards Zeke
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas: Boat, boat, please be there boat
Zach returns to Zeke. Zeke is looking for landsharks. There is a large crow sitting on the prow of the boat.
Ezekial Ikwiano (shouting): Look out zach
Ezekial Ikwiano (shouting): There's sharks
Ezekial Ikwiano (shouting): in the sand
Ezekial Ikwiano (shouting): I saw one
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): same crow?
GM: Yes
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): thought that said singing at first...
Zach Dallas notices the sharks
Welcome to Deadlands - The Musical!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): where are the sharks at?
GM: Okay, so now what?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how far out is the boat?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): can land sharks swim?
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d12 = 5]
GM: The Sturgeon is about half a mile out to sea. Zach has no idea if land sharks can swim.
Ezekial Ikwiano has been awarded a benny
Zach Dallas: any sign of a smaller boat that, say, we used to get down there?
TADM: Zeke gets a benny for reminding the GM that Uriel using Spells that only Blessed have access to, and Uriel actually being USEFUL are entirely different.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I am IN the boat
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): On the shore
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Warning you about the land sharks
TADM: Land Sharks = Underwater Ninja Tigers that ride Bears into Battle.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how far from me to the boat?
TADM: About 100'.
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [1d4-1 = 6]
GM: Zach sees no sign of Landsharks or hostile entities.
Zach Dallas: Hey, Zeke, want a pelt?
Zach Dallas heads down towards the boat
Ezekial Ikwiano: Quick, get down!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is he pointing a gun at me?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): yes
Zach Dallas drops
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shooting: (1) Bo (Imp. Trademark Weapon +2, Marksman +2, Fanning the Hammer -4) [1d12 = 9]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shooting: (1) Bo [1d6 = 3]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shooting: (1) Bo [1d6 = 17]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shooting: (1) Bo [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shooting: (1) Bo [1d12 = 6]
Ezekial Ikwiano: shooting the sane
Ezekial Ikwiano: All around Zach
Crow caws hysterically.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Quickly, while they're all scared away
GM: Both of you need to make Guts checks
Ezekial Ikwiano: Guts {+5 Grit} [1d8+5 = 10]
Zach Dallas: DAMMIT IF YOU SHOOT ME AGAIN I SWEAR I WILL FIND LAND SHARKS AND FEED YOU TO THEM
Zach Dallas: Guts {+6 Legendary/True Grit} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+6 = 9]
GM: Nothing unusual happens
TADM: Fear Level = 4
Zach Dallas: is Zeke magically enchanted?
Zach Dallas rushes to the boat
Ezekial Ikwiano: Whew, you made it
Ezekial Ikwiano: I was worried for a minute there
Ezekial Ikwiano reloads his guns
Zach Dallas: OK, I don't know about you, but A) Land sharks are sure as hell magical, and I don't see any sign of those
Zach Dallas: and B) Do you want to go get some swag?
Ezekial Ikwiano: What kind of Swag?
Crow flops around on the boat, laughing so loudly that people in Shan Fan are making Fear Checks.
Zach Dallas: A pelt of a spirit wolf that is cursing the isle. You could probably make a sweet Pimp Hat out of it
Captain Fong moves the Sturgeon farther out to sea.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Pimpin' +2 [1d12+2 = 11]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Ezekial Ikwiano: Sounds like my kind of swag
Ezekial Ikwiano: Lead the way, and keep an eye out for land sharks
Zach Dallas: Yessir
Crow flies over and lands on Zeke's head.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 2]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): does Zeke notice?
Crow continues to chuckle.
GM: With a 2 - no.
Zach Dallas laughs
GM: But after a couple minutes, he feels that his hat is heavier than normal.
Ezekial Ikwiano thows his hat to the ground and shoots it.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shooting: (1) Bo [1d12 = 7]
Zach Dallas jumps
Crow: Agility [1d12 = 9]
Zach Dallas: Dammit, Zeke, what the hell
Ezekial Ikwiano: Something felt wrong, I thought there may have been a land shark in there
Crow catches the bullet with its beak and eats it.
Ezekial Ikwiano: It was just a bird
Zach Dallas: No, just an air crow
Crow belches contentedly.
Ezekial Ikwiano picks the hat up and puts it back on.
Crow continues to sit on the hat.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I don't want you shittin' on my hat bird
Crow shits on the hat.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Things you shit on get turned into monsters on this island
Zach Dallas: You know, that wouldn't have happened if you hadn't said that
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Ezekial Ikwiano: Maybe it just works with human shit
Crow nods.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Zach, if my hat turns into a monster, let me know
Zach Dallas: What a wise crow
Zach Dallas: Will do
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d12 = 6]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): If I were a spirit wolf, where would I hang out?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): If I come to a blank, I'll try to find that cave for the old guy to ask directions
GM: Normal wolves sometimes hang out in caves when they are not hunting.
GM: Or forest groves.
GM: Both of which exist in numbers on this island.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Curses
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [1d4-1 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d12 = 16]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Hey bird, you know where we can find a wolf, I need to make my new hat now thanks to your butt
Zach Dallas uses his mystical powers to pierce illusions and detect magic in the area
Crow appears completely unapologetic.
Zach Dallas laughs
Crow shits a bullet on Zeke's hat.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Ezekial Ikwiano: Thanks
Zach Dallas: Hey, he gave it back!
Ezekial Ikwiano recovers the bullet to reload later.
Zach Dallas: What a considerate crow
Ezekial Ikwiano did he reasemble the cartridge and refill it with powder as well?
Zach and Zeke wander around for a couple hours and come to a small cave by the beach.
Zach Dallas: Save that one for a finishing blow, it's probably an enchanted bullet now
TADM: No, you will need to do that yourself.
GM: D6 [1d6 = 6]
Genjia is muttering to himself outside the cave.
Genjia: Hey, you back!
Zach Dallas: Hello!
Genjia: Shoo! Stupid bird.
Zach Dallas: Eh, the bird isn't too bad
Crow flips off Genjia with right claw.
Zach Dallas: woah, that's fowl
Genjia: I mean it! You go away! Crows bad omens!
Zach Dallas has been awarded a benny
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): woo!
TADM: Benny for the bad pun.
Crow flaps off.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): courtesy of Oblivion
Genjia: So, what you doing back here?
Zach Dallas: I should ask that crow's name
Zach Dallas: Came to get back the stuff we left
Genjia: Him stupid crow, you pay him no mind.
Zach Dallas: and I wanted to learn some about spirits
Genjia: Spirits? This place has many spirits.
Genjia: They wander around.
Zach Dallas: Indeed. I was hoping to learn a bit about being able to control my own spirit a bit more
Ezekial Ikwiano: We're lookin' for a pimp hat
Ezekial Ikwiano: It's a wolf right now
Genjia: Good idea. Quiet mind is best mind.
Ezekial Ikwiano: But It's gonna be a pimp hat
Genjia seems to notice Ezekial for the first time.
Genjia: Oh, when you get here?
Ezekial Ikwiano: I was hiding under the crow
Genjia: Ah, I thought it funny that crow was standing on a moving tree.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Trees don't move
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is his hat magical?
Genjia looks at Zeke like he is insane.
Genjia: Of course they do!
TADM: Yes.
Genjia: Trees move all the time on this island.
Ezekial Ikwiano: After yo ushit on them?
Zach Dallas laughs
Genjia: Shit?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Yeah, I shit on some pine needles last time we was here
Zach Dallas sighs
Ezekial Ikwiano: and they tried to kill me
Genjia: Well, that makes sense.
Genjia: The trees on this island are almost are horrible as the spirits.
Genjia: I lucky they leave me alone.
Zach Dallas: So, rumor has it there's a wolf on this island. Do you know anything about it?
Genjia looks confused.
Genjia: Wolf?
Genjia: No idea, who would suggest such a thing?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Hm. I hope we don't have to kill the crow. I like the crow.
Genjia starts doodling in the sand with his walking stick.
Zach Dallas: The ghost girl in the gazebo up on the hill that-a-ways
Genjia stops.
Genjia looks at Zach.
Zach Dallas: points
Genjia: What you say?
Zach Dallas: There's a gazebo up over in that direction. Seems to be in poor shape
Zach Dallas: There was a girl in it who I spoke to for a bit
Genjia moves closer to Zach, giving him an crazy-eyed look.
Zach Dallas: Seemed kinda glowy and see-through
Genjia: You talk to spirits?
Zach Dallas: She was talking about how there was a wolf on this island that eats other spirits
Genjia: They not kill you?
Zach Dallas: That one spirit, yes
Zach Dallas: also, the crow
Zach Dallas: and you
Zach Dallas: That's about the limit to my encounters
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I really wanted to say "you have no chance to survive, make your time"
Genjia keeps moving closer to Zach, his mouth moving randomly.
Zach Dallas: Er, and Zeke, but he's a daily event
Zach Dallas leans back a bit
Genjia: The spirits not kill you...interesting, you have good karma.
Zach Dallas coughs
Ezekial Ikwiano: I doubt that
Zach Dallas: Woah, never heard that before
Genjia is now close enough that Zach can smell a whole lot of garlic coming out of his mouth. Evidently this guy eats bulbs of garlic three meals a day.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): note: spirits=vampires
Zach Dallas: Is it that unusual?
Genjia: Yes, yes it is.
GM: Fear checks and Agility checks for both of you.
Zach Dallas: Guts {+6 Legendary/True Grit} [1d4+6 = 15]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Guts {+5 Grit} [1d8+5 = 12]
Zach Dallas: Agility [1d10 = 7]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Agility (Acrobat +2) [1d6+2 = 5]
Ezekial Ikwiano is using a benny
Ezekial Ikwiano: Agility (Acrobat +2) [1d12+2 = 8]
Genjia: Fighting [1d6 = 5]
Genjia: Claws damage [2d10 = 7]
Genjia flings out a claw and rakes Zach Dallas across the face, sending him flying about ten feet back and rolling in the sand.
Round 1
The deck has been shuffled.
Dealing cards...
Ezekial Ikwiano was dealt the Queen of Hearts and the Queen of Spades.
Ezekial Ikwiano uses the Queen of Spades.
Ezekial Ikwiano

Zach Dallas: OK, this isn't working too well...
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is he getting magically weaker?
Ezekial Ikwiano: At least I had a plan
GM: Yes, he is getting weaker, and evidently peeing had a seriously detrimental effect on something...

Ezekial Ikwiano: You my bro, crow

Ezekial Ikwiano: You remind me of a horse I know

Ezekial Ikwiano: You al'right crow
Crow nods.
Zach Dallas: Interesting
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'll say, wait till I tell Mrs. Grey
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is it orderly writing, or maddened scribbles?
Ezekial Ikwiano: And Xiu Li
GM: Maddened scribbles.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): anything legible?
Ezekial Ikwiano looks at the scribles.

Ezekial Ikwiano: Unskilled {-2 Unskilled} [1d4-2 = 8]
Zach Dallas: Ew, it looks like this poor guy got posessed at some point
Zach Dallas: Did not have a peaceful descent
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): did Genjia actually die? Or is he still sitting over there with the Crow?
Crow flies over to Zeke's hat, lands on it, pulls a chestnut out of his wings, sets it on Zeke's head, and cracks open the nut.
GM: Genjia's corpse is nowhere to be seen, he vanished in an explosion of black light.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): black light...
GM: As in, when he exploded, it appeared to suck all the light from the area into a minature black hole.
Crow offers half the chestnut to Zeke.
Ezekial Ikwiano accepts.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): anything else interesting in here?
GM: Not that you can see.
Zach Dallas turns to the crow
Zach Dallas: So, what's your name, anyways?
Crow caws loudly.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I say we call him crunchbite
Crow shrugs noncommittally.
GM: Now what?
Ezekial Ikwiano looks for anything that might make a good pimp hat.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 3]
GM: Zeke finds nothing of interest.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Zach, I don't see a dead wolf
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): does anything seem to have magically altered since Genjia vanished?
Crow flaps over to a set of Chinese symbols and taps at them with his beak.
Zach Dallas takes a look
GM: No, nothing seems to have changed.
Ezekial Ikwiano touches the symbols.
GM: Nothing happens, and neither of you can read Chinese.
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d12 = 7]
Ezekial Ikwiano hits the symbol with the cross.
Zach Dallas pulls out a hand of cards
Zach Dallas touches the symbols
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): not hard enough to break the cross
GM: Nothing happens.
Zach Dallas: Hm. Damn.
Ezekial Ikwiano shrugs at Crow.
Crow shrugs at Zeke.
Crow flaps off to the cave entrance, points to the pagoda.
Zach Dallas pulls out some paper
Zach Dallas whistles as he traces the symbols
Zach Dallas glances at the crow: is this going to kill me?
Zach Dallas continues his tracing. When he finishes, he heads off towards the gazebo.
Zach Dallas: This way, Zeke, we've got ourselves a young lady to visit
Ezekial Ikwiano: I like the sound of that
Ezekial Ikwiano follows Zach.
Zach Dallas: chuckles
GM: You reach the pagoda without further incident. Meng is there, looking all ethereal, glowy green, and fantastically beautiful.
Meng Chiang-Nu looks happy and starts talking in Chinese.
Zach Dallas: Uh, Crunchbite?
Crow shrugs.
Crow pecks at Zeke's ears.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Hey Crow, does my magical super-cock work on Ghost broads too?
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d12 = 3]
GM: Zach is confused, as Zeke has suddenly started speaking Chinese.
Meng Chiang-Nu turns red with rage.
Zach Dallas: Oh, lovely
Zach Dallas facepalms
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Hey beautiful
Crow slaps face with wing and flies off as fast as possible.
Zach Dallas smacks Zeke with his hat
Zach Dallas: Stop flirting, she's dead
GM: The cards that were embedded in the ceiling flow towards her and begin spinning wildly. They begin flickering in the light as if they have suddenly developed razor edges.
Zach Dallas: Woah, woah, woah, wait up a second, miss
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Zach, you done misled me about the possability of hooking up
Zach Dallas holds out the papers
GM: The walls of the pagoda begin smoldering.
Zach Dallas: Uh oh...
Meng Chiang-Nu lets out a howl of rage.
Zach Dallas: Dammit, Zeke, you'd better apologize
Zach Dallas: Crimany, why are YOU the one who gets to speak Chinese
Zach Dallas: What sort of sadistic god would have arranged that?
Crow laughs at Zach's comment from the top of a nearby tree.
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Hey, you ain't got to get all violent
GM: Hundreds of ghosts appears outside the pagoda. They do not look happy or friendly.
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Just cause I like the ladies
Zach Dallas: Uh, Zeke, there's no way we can fight this many
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Killin' men always gets me excited
Zach Dallas: Find out how to make her less angry please
Meng Chiang-Nu pulses with a red light.
Captain Fong moves the ship farther out to sea.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): for the record, Zach doesn't know if Zeke can understand him, but since Zeke rarely listens anyways, this doesn't change his behavior
Crowds along the dock in Shan Fan: Oooh! Aaahh! Look at the fireworks!
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d10 = 6]
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Did Zach piss you off earlier or somethin'?
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Cause, damn, you are mad right now
Meng Chiang-Nu flings several cards at Zeke's crotch.
Zach Dallas leaps away from Zeke
Zach Dallas: Agility [1d10 = 12]
Meng Chiang-Nu: Notice [1d10 = 7]
Meng Chiang-Nu: Martial Arts damage [2d12+2 = 22]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): You know that recent growth you had? I think you just lost it...
GM: Well, thankfully, Zeke has a 7 Toughness...so he is not actually incapacitated.
GM: Does Zeke want to play dead?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): yeah
Ezekial Ikwiano drops to the ground.
Zach Dallas: Idiot
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Baaaaaaka
Meng Chiang-Nu seems to calm down now that Zeke has several cards embedded in his groin.
Zach Dallas flinches
Meng Chiang-Nu looks at Zach.
Zach Dallas shrugs
Zach Dallas: I don't suppose you can understand me, can you?
Meng Chiang-Nu says something in Chinese. Without a translator you get the feeling it has something to do with the concept of, "Choose your next words carefully."
Zach Dallas glances around: is the crow within translating distance?
Crow lands near Zach.
Crow nods at Zeke.
Zach Dallas: Please and thanks
Crow: He choose, poorly.
Zach Dallas: Hell yeah he chose poorly
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): what kind of accent?
GM: Vigor check for Zach.
Zach Dallas: Vigor [1d6 = 2]
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Vigor [1d6 = 5]
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I suppose I should be grateful you killed the Wolf before you brought that animal in my presence.
GM: D20 [1d20 = 18]
Zach Dallas: Sorry, I hadn't expected he would be able to communicate with you at all
GM: For the record, Zeke, being still conscious, does understand what is being said.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Men are animals. All the same. All useless. How you found and killed the wolf is beyond me.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I can only assume the extra spirits inside you are female.
Zach Dallas: So, it appears that the old guy WAS the wolf, by the way. Nasty twist of fate. Also, he had a bunch of scribbles in his cave. I can't read Chinese, though, so if you could...
Zach Dallas holds out the papers again
Zach Dallas: I'm pretty sure one is, the other I've yet to identify
Meng Chiang-Nu looks at the papers.
Meng Chiang-Nu is still pulsing red and the other ghosts have not vanished yet.
Zach Dallas: I'll appologize in advance if they're just vulgarities
Zach Dallas: They seemed centrally positioned
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): The top one reads, "Set us free." The bottom one I assume you wrote incorrectly, as it reads, "Bite my ramen."
Crow laughs and rolls around on the ground.
Zach Dallas glares at the crow
Captain Fong: I like the crow! Can we keep it?
Zach Dallas: Well, I suppose that is for the best...
Captain Fong: Wait..I'm not there, I have no desire to be TPK.
Zach Dallas: I appologize
Zach Dallas: So, can you leave this place?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Do you mean pass on to the next world, or do you mean physically move myself?
Zach Dallas: Either
Zach Dallas: Although I'm curious about whether the cave has relevant information in it, I don't think it would be quite the place for a lady.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): The Gate of No-Gate is barred to us since the time of the world's end. But now that the lesser spirits are free of the Wolf, I can travel from this place without fear of the smaller ones being consumed.
Zach Dallas glances at Zeke
Zach Dallas: What is the Gate of No-Gate?
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I believe you refer to it as the "Pearly Gates" in western religions.
Meng Chiang-Nu looks confused at the concept.
Zach Dallas: OK, so the gate to the afterlife
Zach Dallas: I take it the gates to Hell are still open?
Crow hops over and pulls one of the cards out of Zeke's crotch and sets it on the ground.
Crow folds it into an origami crow with his left claw.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I am not sure how your western religions term such things. I do not know.
Zach Dallas: Can you see the crow now?
Zach Dallas: Not the paper one, but the one that folded it
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I sometimes hear a crow in the distance, I have never seen it.
Meng Chiang-Nu bends down and picks up the paper crow.
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Interesting.
Zach Dallas: Hm. I guess it's invisible to you guys
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Do you have further business here?
Zach Dallas: I don't think so. Unless there's anything you could possibly teach me about ki
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Your mind is too cluttered.
Zach Dallas: I might be full to bursting now, but I'll probably no longer be at one point
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d10 = 6]
Meng Chiang-Nu looks unconvinced.
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d10 = 9]
Meng: Smarts +2 [1d12+2 = 11]
Meng Chiang-Nu is still unconvinced.
Crow is impatient.
Crow taps claw.
Crow pulls out another card and makes an origami figure that bears a striking resemblance to Grimme's cathedral.
Zach Dallas: Can you leave the island as well?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm getting there me first, then the world
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I can.
Zach Dallas: We are looking to stop Reverend Grimm. He's a...creature of immense evil. We've figured out that his power relies on his 13 Inner Circle, but we need to kill them at once to beat him
Zach Dallas: Could you assist us in this?
Meng Chiang-Nu ponders for a minute.
Meng Chiang-Nu gives Zach a smile that could only be described as "terrifying."
Zach Dallas: Guts {+6 Legendary/True Grit} [1d4+6 = 8]
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Yes, I shall help you.
Zach Dallas smiles back
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): For the sake of revenge.
Meng Chiang-Nu points at Zeke.
Zach Dallas glances at Zeke
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): I shall need a host to carry me off the island. And I believe your animal should experience what it is to be female for a few days.
Zach Dallas: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): I think that's a bad plan
Zach Dallas: Laughing [1d6 = 5]
Crow laughs so hard he shoots snot out his nose.
Zach Dallas: I think that's a WONDERFUL plan!
Zach Dallas: The actual invasion begins in...oh, about 20 days from now
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): Being female for 20 days is a small price to pay for saving the world.
Meng Chiang-Nu points at Zeke.
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): 18 days last I heard
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d10 = 18]
Zach Dallas dons his poker face
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): That is the bargain. My help for him to spend the next 18 days as a woman.
Zach Dallas: C'mon, Zeke, it's for the sake of The World!
Zach Dallas: And think of all the knowledge that you will gain!
Crow is rolling around on the ground laughing hysterically.
Zach Dallas: And it's only temporary!
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Fine, but I aint gonna be no chinese woman
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): I'm a black woman or no deal
Meng Chiang-Nu (Chinese): You may most certainly be a black woman.
Zach Dallas: Oh, man, I can't wait until we see Xiu Li again
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Aint enough Negro women in California anyways
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): She-hulk Zeke to the rescue!
Crow is laughing so hard he wets himself.
Meng Chiang-Nu flies inside Zeke.
Zach Dallas: And how about you, Crow, do you think you could assist us as well?
GM: Vigor check for Zeke.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Vigor [1d6 = 4]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): NOM!
Ezekial Ikwiano: Vigor [1d10 = 15]
Zeke rather painfully turns into a woman. It is pretty gruesome to watch. Unless you are the crow, who continues to laugh.
Zach Dallas: Guts {+6 Legendary/True Grit} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+6 = 14]
Zach Dallas: Ew
GM: Zach does not throw up, but he definitely has no interest in ever seeing a naked Zeke, in either gender, again.
Crow would wipe away tears if crows had they had any.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): does Zeke still have a beard?
GM: Zeke does not have a beard, and well, she is "falling out" of her shirt.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 3]
Zach Dallas takes off his duster
Zach Dallas: Here, wear this
GM: Plus her pants don't fit very well.
Crow flies over and lands on Zach's head.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): nm, he has a duster
Zach Dallas: Care to come with us, Crow? It's sure to be amusing
Ezekial Ikwiano lights a cigar.
GM: The remaining ghosts vanish from the area when Meng vanishes.
Zach Dallas: Crap, I forgot to ask about Carr
Crow nods in amusement while continuing to shudder from trying to control laughter.
Ezekial Ikwiano looks down his shirt.
Zach Dallas: Wait until you see the priest
Ezekial Ikwiano jiggles her chest.
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): I could get used to this
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d12 = 4]
Ezekial Ikwiano: So, to the boat then?
Zach Dallas: Indeed
GM: You get back to the boat without further incident. You row out to the Sturgeon without any problems.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): landsharks?
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [1d6-1 = 7]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Captain Fong: In the name of....Mr. Dallas? What happened, who is your new...friend?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Long story Fong
Zach Dallas: Long story
Zach Dallas: That's Zeke
Zach Dallas: Zekette
Ezekial Ikwiano: I have huge tits now
Ezekial Ikwiano: check it out
Ezekial Ikwiano lifts his shirt/
GM: No landsharks (or water sharks) are spotted on your return.
Zach Dallas facepalm
Captain Fong: Those are...rather...black.
Ezekial Ikwiano lowers her shirt.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Damn tootin
Captain Fong: But...uh...very nice.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): so, basically, I'm going to imagine this is going to be how your next character will be like
Captain Fong looks mildly disgusted.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Back to shore, we've got stuff to do
Captain Fong directs the Sturgeon back to Shan Fan.
Xiu Li is waiting at the docks.
Xiu Li: Hello...and...
Ezekial Ikwiano: Hey Xiu Li, check these out!
Xiu Li faints.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You ok?
Crow laughs hysterically.
Ezekial Ikwiano checks on Xiu Li
Xiu Li wakes up, sees Zeke-ette, screams.
Xiu Li crawls backwards away from her.
Xiu Li: What...happened to you?
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm a woman now
Crow whistles at Xiu Li.
Zach Dallas: Laughing [1d4 = 2]
Ezekial Ikwiano: And get a load of my rack!
Zach Dallas: Laughing [1d6 = 4]
Xiu Li: I see the Gods can take the man out of Zeke, but cannot take Zeke out of the body.
Zach Dallas: Hey, you didn't get punched out!
Ezekial Ikwiano: Folks don't hit girls
Ezekial Ikwiano: Even I don't hit girls
Ezekial Ikwiano: Unless they hit me first
Xiu Li: Umm...we need to go shopping and get you a few things.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'll say, where can I get a pair of fishnets in this town
Xiu Li: And I'm relatively certain that, whatever did this to you, will definitely make sure you...well...have that special time of the month.
Zach Dallas: So, which 18 days are these in the 28-32?
Captain Fong throws up over the side of the boat.
Ezekial Ikwiano: She had me bleeding from the crotch before she turned me into a woman
Crow falls into the water from laughing so hard.
Xiu Li: She turned you into a woman?
Zach Dallas: Posessed him
Zach Dallas: It's part of the bargain
Ezekial Ikwiano: I don't know how that magic stuff works
Zach Dallas: He's a woman for 18 days and she helps us against Grimm
Xiu Li looks at Zach.
Xiu Li: And you got a pet crow?
Ezekial Ikwiano: He's pretty cool
Zach Dallas: I wouldn't say "pet" per se
Zach Dallas: Check out Zeke's hat, it's a by-product of the crow
Ezekial Ikwiano: He diod shit on my hat, but since then he's been alright
Crow gets back on the dock, shakes off the water, and goes over to Xiu Li and begins stroking her leg.
Xiu Li looks at the crow.
Xiu Li: You got a lecherous pet crow?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Like I said
Ezekial Ikwiano: He's alright
Xiu Li: You know, I actually do enjoy being around this group. I never know what to expect.
Xiu Li: Anyway, we should figure out what to do next.
Campaign saved.
