[Nexus] GLoG 68

[VampireRot]

[Infirmary]

Ermine gives Reinholdt a slightly worried look. He's just creeping her out at this point. Going from "Oh hey, I also committed suicide once." to "You look cute." isn't what she thinks is charming.

"Aye... We're gonna have ta get ye all not happy quicky, cause it's... really weird."

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

I'd find it disturbing if she thought it was charming, cause it's outright creepy as it is.

"Heh. Yeah. We really should. I never woulda said any of that stuff. Especially some of the secretive stuff. I'm totally going to regret this later if I ever get fixed. Maybe I should ask Quinn to wipe some memories or something."

[VampireRot]

[Infirmary]

"Right..."

Ermine looks uncertain as to what to say. So... hey, look, there's some rum in her hand!

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

Poor Ermine.

Reinholdt drinks some more rum and deadtimes for a bit.

[FireFox]

Toby pulls Tony into the infirmary, but it's apparently too late.
Hey, who let the brainwashed man out of the bed?

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

"Reelshka did. Want some rum?"
Reinholdt offers Toby and Tony rum.

[FireFox]

Tony gives the druid an exasperated look. You didn't think he might have been intoxicated?
No, he's not! Well, he wasn't. Rein, do you know why you are... overly cheerful?

[VampireRot]

[Infirmary]

Ermine waves at Tony and Toby. Then she looks at Reinholdt's rum, and the bottle in her hand.

"Ar, sorry 'bout dat."

Pirate.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

Reinholdt shakes his head. "Well it's not the booze. Cause this started several hours ago after that one patient I tricked left."

[FireFox]

Okay, some sort of revenge then?

The cleric sighs and looks Reinholdt over. May I scan your mind for magical alteration?

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

"Well he doesn't know I tricked him yet! Though he did seem trigger happy."

Reinholdt nods at Tony. "Go right ahead."

[FireFox]

Tony briefly touches his holy symbol and prays under his breath for a minute, then reaches out to touch Rein's head. This spell should only detect magical influences and alterations on the mind.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

Lemmee see.
There's Ponera's influence which Tony might see.

And there's Prince's influence which Tony might see, but that's kinda up to ThirdEmperor, I think. Hopefully he's watching.

[ThirdEmperor]

[Infirmary]

Prince's influence is pretty subtle, but it's also quite powerful and he didn't really spend the time needed to hide it well, so Tony can probably spot it. Of course, if Tony's mind is connected with Reinholdt's due to the spell, he may well start being effected by the happiness spell as well.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn, thankfully for Toby, wasn't watching earlier.

...but now she undeadtimes, and...was kinda leaning against Toby before.
So now, she's not.

So now, gravity and her innate Quinnessence kick in.

And the Champion of Neirian tumbles over, falling into a set of shelves with a clatter!


((Also, St. Nil should be listed on the council. ))

[FireFox]

It is less of a connection than a scan, as if the cleric shone a light into a dark room to pick out reflective spots.
Yes, here is a euphoric charm. Wait, what's this? By Nomos, the Lady of Envy has a green seed in his head. Tony dismisses the spell and steps back.


Toby flinches and goes to pick his wife up. Oops.

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

Fixed.

"A green seed? Well, I'd be worried if a seed was any other colour!" Reinholdt chuckles. Teehee.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn has a dazed smile on her face, somehow having managed to avoid being knocked completely out. "Ow. Oh, hey there, love..."

[FireFox]

Tony kneels down in front of Reinholdt and begins to pray to his God that both the happiness and the envy be banished from Rein's mind. Ponera's, at least, should be fixed, so long as the natural part of Rein doesn't want it. If he would really prefer to have the jealousy and/or the happiness, Nomos will not be able to remove them.


Hi Quinn.

[ThirdEmperor]

[Infirmary]

Prince's spell should be negated as well, but the effects will likely take time to fade. Assuming Reinholdt wants it removed, of course.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn smiles, and reaches out to be helped up.
"Fancy meeting you here..."

[Reinholdt]

[Infirmary]

Reinholdt doesn't particularly want the envy. It sure has made things more complicated in his mind. Especially with Angela and stuff.

But a part of him doesn't want to be rid of the happiness. The other part does. He's conflicted over that.

[ThirdEmperor]

If he's conflicted, there's a good chance the happiness spell will stay. It isn't exactly easy to remove in the first place. Of course, it isn't that long lasting anyway.

[Murkus]

The little girl Sarah teleports into the middle of camp!

Covered in blood!

Grinning from ear to ear!

And accompanied by a towering drow vampire wizard!

Maybe he followed her home.

[Gullara]

[Outside]

Ghar teleports along with Sarah to a random local in GLoG. Likely near someplace important.

"Where to?" He kindly (?) asks Sarah.

Ghar is a drow vampire. His hair is white and goes halfway down his back. His eyes are red and his features are wrinkled. He wears long, black robes. Most notably, to those who can detect it, is that he radiates immense power. He's clearly not one to be trifled with.

[The Bushranger]

Quinn, as it happens, is in the Infirmary, still a bit dazed.

[Rae Artemi]

[Outside]

Ghar may find himself encountering a duck, looking up at him kindly. "Quack! Hi Ghar!" Says Duck!Crae, happily greeting his old talk-buddy.

[Murkus]

Infirmary

Sarah tries to grab his hand and hurry towards the infirmary.

If they arrive, she bursts in, waving at Quinn and the others. "Hi everyone! Is Jamie around? I thought she might be worried about me." She looks up at Ghar. "I brought a friend, too."

[Gullara]

[Outside]

Ghar gives Duck!Crae a nod before being dragged along to the...

[Imfirmary]

Ghar nods to those present, smiling pleasantly. "Hello. I am Gulaghar."

[Lord Magtok]

Forest

A khaki-painted Magbot hits the ground with a faint crackling of leaves, the telewarp portal above him sealing itself up almost instantaneously upon its arrival in GLoG's woods. It sends a wordless mental signal back to the AI responsible for specifying a drop-zone, chiding it for such sloppiness. The AI, in turn, sends back a rude remark about a lack of quality in the parts used to make the Magbot.

A quick scan of the surrounding area confirms that there's nobody in the area, as does a second and third scan. The robot proceeds to pick up each leaf or fragmented piece of leaf, one by one, gently relocating them in a pattern that seems innocuous and natural enough. There can't be even the slightest trace of evidence that it was here, after all.

The machine reaches for the sniper rifle upon its back, sets it down against the ground, and runs another trio of scans. Still nothing. It's time to get down to business and deal with this matter as quickly and quietly as possible. The rifle is loaded with armor-piercing rounds to get through the GLoG walls, and pointed right at the building. He picks out his targets, identifies the correct strike zone for each, and mumbles a brief robot prayer.

Sunny forgive me, I was only following orders.

Two heavily muffled shots ring out, aimed at two different individuals in the infirmary. One is calculated to strike and pass right through Ermine's left leg, just below the knee. The other, directed towards Quinn's left palm.
