Imban:

Yes.

Imban:

They are instead having fun with Lavos today!

Adric Kain: (( Will he be serving them tea and cookies? ))

Blaine has connected.

Imban:

He will be having them over for dinner.

Adric Kain:

You mean making dinner for them

Imban:

I mean making dinner of them.

Adric Kain:

How to Serve Warforged and Birdman

Tilus:

are you sure you want to eat eaglesharkpanther?

Adric Kain: (( brb ))

Imban:

I see no reason why three tasty animals cannot together equal one tasty animal!

Forge: (( I'm not exactly sure panther is tasty. ))

Faiz: (( It's like a walking turducken. ))

Forge: (( Exactly, so you don't eat it. ))

Faiz: (( SHARK STRIPS. SHARK STRIPS. SHARK STRIPS. SHARK STRIPS. SHARK STRIPS. ))

Adric Kain: (( Damnit Fleed, now I'm picturing a literal walking Turduckhen ))

Forge: (( YO WELCOME TO EPIC MEAL TIME, TODAY WE'RE GONNA TAKE AN EAGLESHARKPANTHER AND ADD BACON STRIPS. BACON STRIPS. BACON STRIPS. BACON STRIPS. BACON STRIPS. MUSCLESGLASSES. YEAH, WE ADDED MUSCLESGLASSES TO THIS DISH. WE FED HIM TO THE EAGLESHARKPANTHER. ))

Faiz: (( (Turducken) HELLO MAH BABY, HELLO MAH DARLIN', HELLO MY RAGTIME GAAAAAAAAAAAL~ ))

Forge: (( I seriously hate the fact there's a dude called Musclesglasses. ))

Tilus: (( Yo dude I heard you liked yummy things so we stuffed food in your food so you can eat while you eat? ))

Regris has connected.

Forge: (( I used to think there was no way to make someone sound like a complete and total Jersey Shore douche without even seeing him, but the name Musclesglasses sure does the job. ))

Wolfsbane: (( Oh I'm very on Serra's shoulder. How fitting. ))

Forge: (( I've never seen him because Epic Meal Time is for people who don't know what food is but my mental image of him is like a huge day-glo orange guido with neon sunglasses and a tanktop. ))

Wolfsbane: (( Well you're close. ))

Wolfsbane: (( And yes that's what he's spoofing. ))

Wolfsbane: (( Which is funny, since canadian ))

Forge: (( Oh he's actually a spoof? ))

Forge: (( I immediately feel a hell of a lot better because of that. ))

Wolfsbane: (( All of those guys are an act. ))

Wolfsbane: (( They set up wacky, way the fuck out there attitudes and ride them. ))

Forge: (( See I just thought they were MORONS ))

Faiz: (( This still isn't forgiving them for what they do to food. ))

Forge: (( And purposely took a baconated shit over food ))

Wolfsbane: (( That's pretty much what they do. Oh, their latest episode is of the Kids React To crew and it's just them, spoofing the EMT dudes. ))

Forge: (( So ROSMT is a parody of a parody and oh god I've gone crosseyed ))

Wolfsbane: (( And I find that amusing ))

Faiz: (( The Happy Meal one? ))

Wolfsbane: (( Yeah that one ))

Forge: (( I found that funny just because of that main kid. ))

Forge: (( YOUTUBE MONEY ))

Faiz: (( I only like that one for the grocery shopping and McDonald's segment, yeah. ))

Faiz: (( GIVE ME THIRTY HAPPY MEALS, THIRTY MCRIBS, AND A SALAD I CAN LAUGH AT ))

Wolfsbane: (( Ahahaha ))

Imban:

Okay, back~

Forge: (( I especially like how immediately after, when they get the food ))

Faiz: (( I just lose it every time when he leaves the grocery store and he's staring HARD at the camera the whole time. ))

Forge:

He's all polite

Forge: (( Gah, ooc ))

Forge: (( FORGE GETS YOUTUBE IN HIS BRAIN NET ))

Forge: (( PLOT TWIST ))

Faiz: (( You have apps?! ))

Forge: (( Actually I just had a realization. ))

Serra: (( Well we haven't really started yet, so. ))

Forge: (( I can watch YouTube ))

Forge: (( On my TV ))

Forge: (( While I'm playing ))

Adric Kain: (( I CAN WATCH TRANSFORMERS PRIME ON MY TV ))

Forge: (( Totally gonna put on some music or something ))

Adric Kain: (( Xbox needs a blip app too ))

Forge: (( Mecha if you haven't yet I recommend watching ERB on your TV ))

Adric Kain: (( So I can watch sfdebris on my TV ))

Adric Kain: (( Ok. Though honestly my TV is only marginally bigger than my monitor ))

Faiz: (( ...man, now I'm just getting a hilarious thought from that DBZA line ))

Forge: (( It's more the experience ))

Forge: (( NicePeter and EpicLloyd on TV WHERE THEY BELONG ))

Adric Kain: (( Yeah I'd also like to be able to watch TFS on my TV ))

Faiz: (( (Forge) What, you don't have GPS? (Faiz) WHAT? (Forge) Your apps. (Faiz) WAIT. I HAVE APPS? ))

Adric Kain: (( Though I think some of their stuff is on Youtube ))

* Imban eats people, OOC chat

Adric Kain:

Well that looks like a lot of orcs!

Imban:

Anyway, last time on SCales of War, our heroes entered what appears to be...

Faiz: (( WE TASTE HORRIBLE AND GIVE YOU CANCER FROM BEING UNREFRIGERATED ))

Imban:

The doors open a platform overlooking an enormous chamber. A group of orcs turns to face you, growling with rage and drooling with anticipation for the kill. Behind and below the orcs lies a sunken section of the chamber, where you see iron tubes as tall as a man running across the room. On the north side of the pit, you spot several large beetles, their mottled hides glowing red as if aflame.

Forge: (( Fuck yeah apparently my recommendations are awesome today. GASSHIN GOD GRAVION. ))

Wolfsbane:

"You'd think that the orcs and fire beetles would be fighting each other."

Faiz:

MAYBE WE JUST WALKED IN ON THEM.

Forge:

They are all equally welcome to die.

Imban:

Also, Wolfsbane spots a horrible caricature of a Jew (now with a name!) skulking over in a corner, inspecting a wheel connected to a pipe.

Adric Kain:

It's a well known fact that Fire Beetles and Orcs are the best of friends

Adric Kain:

....is what I just made up to explain why they're not

Faiz:

I--

* Faiz rumbles.

Wolfsbane:

"I bet his name is Ira."

Forge:

I am beginning to doubt your credentials as an author.

Serra:

"That is a lot of orcs, indeed. Though as we've seen thus far, just because there's a lot of them doesn't necessarily make them more threatening."

Wolfsbane: (( ... oh, it actually *is* ))

Wolfsbane: (( Sorry Imban! ))

Kalad the Paladin:

I think the orcs are mostly outside of their aggro radius, is all. Though I'm having problems explaining how that's true when one of them is closer than us.

Adric Kain:

Why is that? It's an author's job to make up things that sound plausible no matter how much they aren't

* Imban eats Wolfsbane. *nom*

* Wolfsbane aaaahhh...!!

Serra: (( *makes Intimidate check vs Lavosban* ))

Imban: (( *makes Eat check vs. Serra* ))

Forge: (( Speaking of AC ))

Forge: (( Did anyone claim that Temple Uniform? ))

Faiz: (( I just assumed you wanted it. ))

Faiz: (( So I wrote your name down. ))

Wolfsbane: (( Try to kill off the 1 HP ones first. They tend to have nasty damage as a result. ))

Serra: (( Wow where'd Resha come from. Which game did you play in with her anyways? ))

Forge: (( Well I'm not the only one restricted to cloth ))

Imban: (( False, Regris. 1 HP enemies have shitty damage ))

Forge: (( FFFuru, you were our White Mage ))

Wolfsbane: (( Aw. ))

Imban: (( low-HP enemies with *actual* HP tend to do high damage tho ))

Serra: (( Ah. Yeah that'd be it. ))

Wolfsbane: (( oh man FFFuru... I.. think I played in that? ))

Faiz:

I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO EXPLODE HEADS JUST BY STARING AT THEM. YOU GUYS HAVE ALL THE FUN.

Forge:

I still must use my hands. I would argue it is more satisfying.

Adric Kain: (( Your speed ))

Serra: (( Move your speed + basic attack for a standard action. ))

Imban: (( orcs move faster while charging, but you aren't an orc, so ))

Forge: (( Way too far ))

Serra: (( So you can use your move to move then your standard to charge. ))

Faiz: (( Also, applying what I asked earlier, I can totally use my Standard and take Reegrits with me while I move, right? ))

Imban: (( ...sure. ))

Serra: (( So use your +2 move power to get the extra distance. ))

"So, uh. ...this wasn't anyone you knew, was it?"

Faiz:

AH, FUN.

Serra:

"And not a moment too soon, either."

Kalad the Paladin:

"Looks like some sort of female spellcaster."

Adric Kain:

It's a pity. She was cute.

* Serra looks at the corpse, grisly as it may be.

Kalad the Paladin:

"Kind of hard to tell the race without the head."

Adric Kain:

She was probably cuter with her head.

Forge: (( Well we can tell where Adric's gaze goes at first glance ))

Adric Kain: (( She has nice legs okay? ))

Wolfsbane:

"Yeah, I can't pull her back so don't look at me. Why not search her?"

Kalad the Paladin:

"Hey, no. If her party's still around, they'll raise her."

Kalad the Paladin:

"You wouldn't want anyone finding YOUR corpses to loot you, now."

Adric Kain:

If I were dead I wouldn't much care.

Wolfsbane:

"Oh, I guess that's true enough. You'd think that they'd have brought the body with them."

Wolfsbane:

"Pretty discourteous, leaving a corpse lying around."

Forge:

I think the fact she's laying here alone in this room with live orcs says something about her party's current state.

Kalad the Paladin:

"It's possible."

Faiz:

CONSIDERING THAT I DOUBT THERE'S MUCH OTHER PARTY LEFT TO RAISE HER, YEAH.

Serra:

"Indeed. Hopefully they haven't all shared her fate."

Kalad the Paladin:

"Well, I'm not going to say anything about it. I wouldn't, but I'm the one who took a paladin's oath, not you."

Adric Kain:

Hopefully.

* Kalad the Paladin walks away and pointedly looks in the other direction.

So have some uplifting music

* Kalad the Paladin seems to be tampering with the pipes.

Serra:

"Hmm? What's that over there you're looking at?"

Wolfsbane:

"So that dead fellow... the shadowy one, he was fiddling with those pipes..."

Forge: (( Somehow no one really feels that uplifted by Nyancat but we didn't want to say anything ))

* Faiz follows after, curiously. "WHATCHA DOIN'?"

Kalad the Paladin:

"Oh, uh."

Adric Kain: (( You get your bonus HP anyway ))

Kalad the Paladin:

"In order to operate the machinery in the nexus, these pipes have to be opened to let water flow through to it."

Faiz: (( I'm just gonna assume Reegrits is here for lack of need to go anywhere else, haha. ))

Faiz:

HUH.

* Kalad the Paladin turns a wheel mightily. You hear the sounds of rushing water in the pipe.

Adric Kain:

In the book. When he bird ingeniously managed to turn the defenses on the orcs.

Faiz:

OF COURSE IT DID.

Kalad the Paladin:

"Unlike that panel, these are fairly benign. Well, unless you touch the pipes. Then it's a bit burning hot."

Kalad the Paladin:

* Faiz scratches at his head... "HRRM."

Serra:

"Indeed. Because we need an accurate account of our journeys, after all."

Adric Kain:

I write stories, not history books. People don't want the truth. They want something exciting!

Forge: (( He twists AND shouts ))

Kalad the Paladin:

"Hrm. There seem to be some dead orcs down here, too."

Kalad the Paladin:

"Looks like not all of them were live."

Adric Kain:

Don't sorry. I keep all the notes on how it actually happened too.

Kalad the Paladin:

"Anyway, with that taken care of, we should proceed onward."

Forge: (( Are you sure those are orcs? They look like beetles ))

Faiz:

MORE CRUSHING AWAITS~!

Faiz: (( Clearly they're orcbeetles. ))

Kalad the Paladin: (( Whoops, those are beetles. ))

Serra: (( They're green corpses. ))

Serra: (( ...Well nevermind! ))

Kalad the Paladin: (( I got it wrong ))

Wolfsbane:

"Crushing, incinerating, it's like a never ending carnival of fighting."

* Kalad the Paladin is a bit dense. Can't tell beetles and orcs apart.

Adric Kain:

And like a carnival, it is immensely fun.

Serra:

"Let's get going then~"

Faiz:

STEP RIGHT UP AND TEST YOUR STRENGTH! DESTROY THE EVERYTHING FOR FUN AND PROFIT!

Faiz:

WAHAHA.

Adric Kain:

Where's the ale?

Wolfsbane:

"Ahaha. Bring the whole family! Fighters, barbarians, paladins, monks...!"

Imban:

Everyone, proceed to Vents: Crossroads

Serra: (( Not on there. ))

Imban: (( Is now ))

Adric Kain: (( I would but that's not a map ))

Forge: (( Wolf stop trying to put Faiz on your shoulders ))

Imban: (( there ))

Faiz: (( Hruf. ))

Kalad the Paladin:

"Okay, so. From what I remember of this place, the dwarves' quarters were to the left, their shrine to Moradin was to the right, and the Nexus is straight ahead."

Faiz:

SO, WHAt, STRAIGHT ON?

Forge:

If any were alive, would they be more likely to take shelter in their shrine or their quarters?

Serra:

"Some of the advance party might still be in here. It might do us well to find them and meet up with them first."

Kalad the Paladin:

"We could, but there's probably still orcs in the side rooms."

Faiz:

...YOU TEMPT ME WELL.

Kalad the Paladin:

"The shrine isn't exactly defensible..."

Kalad the Paladin:

"So I'd say if any dwarves are alive, they're in their quarters. But... I find it unlikely."

Kalad the Paladin:

"That said, adventurers... could be anywhere."

Faiz:

THEN WE SCIENCE.

Regris:

"Why not just clear the whole lot of them out? Someone's going to need to do it, may as well be us."

Regris: (( whoops. ))

* Faiz cracks his knuckles, then pauses. "THAT... THAT'S HOW HUMANS SCIENCE, RIGHT?"

Forge:

I believe we are how humans "science"

Wolfsbane:

"Wouldn't know, not human."

Faiz:

HUH.

Adric Kain:

I heard stories.

Serra:

"Sure, being thorough with the orc decimation can work as well."

Forge:

Machines hewn from magic and steel to destroy one another as proxy.

* Faiz stares off to nowhere in particular.

Serra:

"So which way do we go?"

Forge:

So yes.

Adric Kain:

Let's go see if any dwarves made it.

Wolfsbane:

"Why not check the barracks first then, if they're the most defensible we can at least use them to our own benefit."

Kalad the Paladin:

"So, to their barracks, then?"

Serra:

"Sure. Works as well as any choice."

* Kalad the Paladin heads to the new map: Vents: Dwarf Quarters.

Forge: (( Some part of me just takes enjoyment from watching Wolf zip around ))

Faiz: (( SIGNS POINT TO NO ))

Imban:

Two orcs hold torches, shining light in this cavernous chamber. Stone doors stand open, leading into other rooms.

Serra:

"That's a whole lot of not dwarves or adventurers staring at us."

Wolfsbane:

*sniff* "I smell a larder."

Faiz: (( Man, if this was Dwarf Fortress, everyone would be pissed off constantly. ))

Kalad the Paladin:
