Exalted randomness
So, I didn't update with regards to game 1 quotes or anything since then. So we'll start with the quotes from Game 1:
"You're Vampire Hunter D!"--Jeremy, to herod_the_nut
"I shove him my empty mug that I just finished drowning."--Melzer
"I wasn't aware they had fighting pits in the Varang City-States...."--Melzer
Game 2 was quite busy. Having killed the Wyld beastie (stats below), the party escorted the caravan back to Chiaroscuro. Once in Chiaroscuro, herod_the_nut found that his daughter had obtained a job dancing in a theatre. This was not a bad thing. The fact that two men tried to kidnap her (at the same time) and one of them actually succeeded, was a bad thing. The party collectively figured out that Hessa (the daughter) had most likely been taken to someone named Talavera Heart-of-Flame, and determined to set out after her (various deals were made to facilitate this thing.) Quotes follow:
Me: Sam, hit him [Melzer].
sabrielrose: *thwap*
Melzer: Ow! I got the engagement ring to the temple!
sabrielrose: That is why I wear it. Well, that and that other reason.
sabrielrose, on the subject of herod_the_nut's double-barreled firewand: I don't know. It could just be the Dereth in me, but it seems he's compensating for something.
Game 3 was mostly travel. They made their way to the kingdom of Vane, ruled by King Kahlan, Queen Breidaia, and the vizier, Autumn Wind. Upon their arrival, they discovered a town under attack by a horde of zombies, directed by a big brawny man in black armour. Attending the man in black armour was a slim man in silk who was gripping a chain. This chain was wrapped round the wrists of a young woman wearing a large gold collar-type necklace, binding her hands behind her back. Melzer stormed forth to kill the zombies, being all Zenith-y, and herod_the_nut and sabrielrose assisted. As they headed forward to kill those directing the zombies, a cavalry charge came from round the other side of the village (led by Autumn Wind). In the midst of this, the slim man cast a spell that caused him, the girl, and the big brawny guy to vanish [into the Underworld].
The zombies duly being slain, the party met the rulers of Vane, who are astoundingly casual. They were cheerfully given free lodging for the evening, and Jeremy was totally boggled by the fact that he couldn't read Autumn Wind's mind with his Gemstone of Surface Thoughts (because Autumn Wind is FTW). They left the next morning and made their way deeper into the desert (about 3 weeks out from Chiaroscuro). Jeremy vanished in the middle of the night one night.
Then they found Talavera's territory.
As they approached, they noticed many small pools and oases that appeared to have coatings of liquid fire. Then they approached Talavera's city, which has mother-of-pearl walls and is guarded by friendly young men. Talavera, you see, collects artists. Artisans, craftsmen, painters, singers, dancers, actors, warriors - anything and everything. Her city is an insane bazaar of various artistic performances, and people flock there to see it.
This was where game ended, but in the mean time, quotes:
Melzer, on the subject of Jeremy: He's got his own horse, we can always send him back if he can't take the heat.
Moon Tooth (NPC): Then what's he doing in the South?
herod_the_nut, upon rolling 5 successes on 4 dice: Holy fuck a duck!
Melzer: Sanctified sexual relations with waterfowl?
herod_the_nut: You're a Night Caste squirrel?
Me, to a_leprechaun: That was amazingly like a Muppet.
And now....
Wyld-Lion
The creature resembles a large dog, standng almost 8 feet high at the shoulder, and possessed of long emerald teeth and ruby claws. Its fur is long, wiry, and matted, a constantly shifting variety of shades that flow into each other, with peacock blue, creamy white, glimmering silver, jet-black, blood-red and a rich deep brown blending across its entire body. Its ears are tufted and laid flat, swiveling slightly. Its eyes look more like golden octahedrons than eyes. It has a tail nearly the length of its body, thick and muscular, which is whipping back and forth fast enough to waft a light breeze toward you.
