gemini's face turns serious and stern as he walks in. "Well, it's about one of your new recruits. He claims he knows that the mage I had fought, was a clone. yet, he was not even a member of the police yet and nowhere near my guild. he says he was informed by members of my guild but he has only talked to me and Dougal-we have told him nothing of the sort. He as well says that he has been assigned to our job, and is cleaning up our evidence claiming that we are unprofessonal and you are leading us on a wild goose chase. I place full trust in you and don't belive a word he speaks. I think he is hiding something."

Verdandi comes through the portal from Iames's realm and goes to her desk. She picks up her copy of cases and walks out into the streets.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 03:51 PM
Iames's face grows serious. Hiding something? Like what? I did assign him to investigate the mage battle, I suppose I wasn't thinking. I'll inform him that he is to liaise and cooperate with your guild's efforts rather than compete with you.

Gemini
2006-12-22, 03:54 PM
"Not even that, he claims that I fought a clone. I was the only one fighting it. How would he ever know that? That man thinks that you are lying and wants me off the case. He claims it is too dangerous for us. Just think about it, right after that battle ends at the guild, a new member wants to join the police? As well as a new member wants to join my guild?"

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 04:00 PM
Iames's face grows even more serious. That is quite suspicious. Very well, I will speak to him on this matter. I have ways of ascertaining the truth. Was there anything else?

Gemini
2006-12-22, 04:05 PM
"He speaks very highly of the two mages, and wants me off the case. He becomes furious when pursued, and destroyed our evidence. Lastly, he lies about quetioning my guild members."

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 04:06 PM
Iames nods. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. If there's nothing else, I'll deal with him now. Iames gestures to the door of the office.

Gemini
2006-12-22, 04:08 PM
"Thank you very much, if I find anything else I will contact you as soon as possible." Gemini walks out of the office and teleports back to the guild.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 04:11 PM
Iames goes out into the main area. Officer Babhdan, I need to see you in the office. And bring a copy of your report with you.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 04:14 PM
Babhdàn teleports into the station, pulls a copy of his report off his desk and hops over to Iames.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 04:15 PM
Iames goes back into the office and sits behind the desk there, allowing his divine aura to fill the room with a vaguely unsettling presence. May I see the report?

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 04:16 PM
Certainly sir

Babhdàn hands the report to Iames.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 04:19 PM
Iames peruses the account carefully. I notice that the PC injuries increased by 2 after your repairs. Would you care to explain?

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 04:23 PM
((*my bad, my initial tally had the PC injuries at 7, I'll just play along though))

Well, my initial walkthroughs and counts were rougher estimates based on observations. The final number was based on closer observations and interviews with NPCs. Apparently there was a gang-fight going on that resulted in some injuries before the meteor attack.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 04:37 PM
Iames looks down at the report again. Really, he says in measured tones. He looks back up. The numbers here don't agree with what you just told me at all. The number of NPC deaths remained the same in both the initial and later portions, and the number of NPC injuries was adjusted downward by 134. However, those mistakes could be easily explained as slips of the hand or the tongue. I have another reason for wanting to talk to you.

Guildmaster Gemini had some very interesting things to say. If you don't mind, I'd like you to lower your mental defenses so that I can ask you some questions and be absolutely assured of receiving true answers. If the Guildmaster's suspicions are groundless, then you of course have nothing incriminating to hide by refusing. Iames smiles thinly.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 04:42 PM
((Yeah, I had originally posted an initial body count 2 days ago, I thought you were comparing the two, sorry))

Babhdàn's eyes glow a more firey red upon hearing Gemini's name. Gemini was outstandingly rude and unhelpful during my investigation. Further, he sent some clone of sorts to harass and follow me throughout the streets. I teleported into the woods to lose him, and then you called me.

Anyway, lowering mental defenses may impair my ability to communicate somewhat, but I'llo see what I can do.

Babhdàn's eyes return to their original red color, then fade to a pale yellow.

Go

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 04:45 PM
Iames extends his telepathic senses into Babhdan's mind, searching for falsehood. Are you involved in any kind of conspiracy with the either or both of the mages under investigation?

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 04:47 PM
No sir, not to my knowledge.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 04:49 PM
Are you involved in any relationship with either or both of the mages under investigation outside of the relationship created by your assignment to investigate and apprehend them?

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 04:52 PM
No sir, not to my knowledge. Babhdàn repeats.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 04:56 PM
Iames frowns and manifests reality revision to undo the effects of any memory modification that may have taken place. The power I just used should have repaired any magical or psionic modification of your memory. Are you involved in any kind of conspiracy with the either or both of the mages under investigation?

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 04:59 PM
No sir, not to my knowledge. Babhdàn repeats again, his eyes growing so pale, they are practically grey.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 05:02 PM
Are you one of the mages in disguise, where disguise refers to any means of altering one's appearance to render oneself unrecognizable?

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 05:05 PM
That sir I can assure you I am NOT

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 05:07 PM
Are you one of the mages in his true form, who used a disguise during the battle, disguise having the same definition as in the previous question?

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 05:10 PM
Again, I am not, I am my own being, and am in no way affiliated with mages, good or evil.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 05:14 PM
There's no need to be hostile. Now, just a couple more things. Iames manifests reality revision to remove any magical or psionic compulsion effects from Babhdan. Have you ever met either or both of the mages under investigation?

((reality revision is the psionic equivalent of wish, if you didn't know))

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 05:16 PM
No sir. My only contact with anyone suspicious was up in the mountains, when I was rudely awakened by a metal man who claimed to be trailing someone. He ran off and I came to town here to apply for a job.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 05:21 PM
Very well. Iames withdraws his mental presence. Now that I'm satisfied you aren't trying to sabotage the investigation by design, I'm going to clarify your assignment to keep it from happening by accident. I want you to act as a liaison to the Heaven's Exile's Guild and cooperate with them as they investigate this incident. There's no need for competition, and I did in fact ask them to investigate. So please, work with them. That's all.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 05:24 PM
Babhdàn's eyes return to normal.

Verywell sir, I shall make my presence known to them now.

Babhdàn gets up and walks out of the office, drops his report back on his desk, then walks out into the streets.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 05:25 PM
Iames sighs and disappears.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 07:01 PM
Babhdàn hops back into the station, leans against the wall by his desk and allows himself to fall into trance

((I might not have a chance to post tomorrow, sorry))

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 08:38 PM
Babhdàn walks in with a massive dead barbarian trailing behind him.

He started a brawl at Trog's, what do you want to do with him? He's not living, but I can remedy that.

Kyrian
2006-12-22, 08:40 PM
Godric uses a potion to revive the barbarian. The barbarian glares at Babhdan.

"You sorry excuse for piss. You, fairy boy," he points at Godric, "I want you to note that this idiot did something to cause me to not be able to defend myself against that crazy attacker back at the tavern."

Godric does note this, and leaves it for Iames to see.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 08:46 PM
Babhdàn looks at the Barbarian.

I walk in and you were causing a ruckus. 3 people INCLUDING A BOUNCER were attempting to calm you down, and you failed to comply. Thusly, I was forced to do what I did. If you can somehow prove to me your innocence, I shall release you.

Kyrian
2006-12-22, 08:46 PM
"Did you once see me attack any of those three you dumbass?"

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 08:47 PM
Did I say you attacked them?

Kyrian
2006-12-22, 08:49 PM
He started a brawl at Trog's, what do you want to do with him? He's not living, but I can remedy that.

"He started a brawl? Hm...sounds like saying he attacked them to me."

The barbarian turns and heads for the door.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 08:54 PM
((Was he concious for that? Didn't think so. Anyway))

Babhdàn sighs, looks over at Godric, then at the Barbarian.

Go ahead.

Babhdàn mutters an incantation and a small tracking rune appears on the barbarian's loincloth.

Kyrian
2006-12-22, 08:55 PM
The barbarian leaves, removing the loincloth and running free, never to be used of again. (Unless Iames follows through with that note)

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-22, 09:00 PM
((Wow, lucky timing. I just got on after kicking brother off the computer))

Jonnadiah
2006-12-22, 09:01 PM
I assesed the situation and did what I saw best. That's all I have to say

Babhdàn leaves the station

Lord Magtok
2006-12-23, 10:12 AM
SASO returns to life after his temporary nonexistence, due to his player not being around.
I'm way overdue for filling out some papers...
SASO goes and creates a detailed report of all he's done since joining the force.
((Yeah he's put this off for several days now. Never actually filled out anything 'till now.))

Isacus
2006-12-24, 09:38 AM
Gutbok enters with a smile.

Finnaly, no more snow.

He looks around.

Is Lord Iames here?

He shouts.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-24, 09:53 AM
Godric looks up. He should be here any min-

Iames appears. Good morning. What can we do you for?

Isacus
2006-12-24, 09:55 AM
Gutbok salutes.

I wish to apply for the police.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-24, 09:57 AM
Iames nods. I see. Well, it's quite simple. First, you give us your name.

Isacus
2006-12-24, 09:59 AM
Gutbok. Is that enough or do you need a surename?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-24, 10:02 AM
That's fine. You may supply us with a surname if you wish.

Do you swear to uphold the law in this town?

Do you promise to obey the rules of the police as noted on page 1 of the police station thread?

Do you swear to the best of your ability to track and record crimes as well as apprehend and arrest crooks?

Isacus
2006-12-24, 10:04 AM
I do. I do. And I do.

Gutbok smiles. So do I get a cool badge?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-24, 10:06 AM
Not quite. Godric, wand him.

Godrci pulls out a wand and waves it over Gutbok.

((Alignment, please))

Isacus
2006-12-24, 10:15 AM
((I have it written in my signature.))

AmberVael
2006-12-24, 10:23 AM
((Ok, since Iames very inconveniently got called away, I'm going to yoink Godric. He did everything he needed to do anyways... so...))
Neutral, Iames.
Godric notes that Iames went into a coma and snorts in disgust, then finds an officer badge and tosses it to Gutbok.
Welcome to the force.
((And welcome to Town!))

Isacus
2006-12-24, 10:26 AM
Thank you.

Gutbok nods, looking at the badge.

Where can I get a place to sleep around here?

((I have to go also, will be back in the evening))

AmberVael
2006-12-24, 10:27 AM
We have a few rooms in the back for officers, if you need them.
((Alrighty then. Hope to see you around on the boards))

Isacus
2006-12-24, 03:14 PM
Yes, I'll take a room.

Gubok heads towards the back to put his things in his new home.

Isacus
2006-12-24, 04:23 PM
Gutbok enters the station after some patroling. He is not shure at which desk to report stuff, and Iames is in a coma. He decides to make a report and show it to the boss when he awakes.

Isacus
2006-12-24, 05:51 PM
Gutbok decides to leave the report at Iames' desk, and after doing so, he leaves the station to find more crime.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-24, 05:57 PM
SASO finally finishes his report, realizing that he spent an entire day doing paperwork.
What the heck? What day is it?

SASO leaves the station in frustration for having taken so long.

wxdruid
2006-12-24, 07:27 PM
Gwen walks in and leaves an official communication from the Courthouse for Iames, requesting a warrant be put out for the arrest of Vahlziir.

The Town vs Vahlziir

Since Vahlziir has not appeared in this courtroom, I hereby find him in contempt of court and ask the GufiPolice to put out a warrant for his arrest. When or if he is apprehended the case may be refiled at the courthouse.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-24, 08:25 PM
Iames wakes up and reviews Gutbok's report. He smiles a bit to himself, then hands the report to Godric, then sees Gwen's message. He looks at Godric. You updated the case file and the summary?

Godric nods.

Excellent. Iames disappears.

Isacus
2006-12-25, 04:34 AM
Gutbok enters and sits at his desk, revieving all kinds of crime reports, so he can find someone to take in.

((I'm of for the holidays, so I wont be here till sunday, have fun people! :D ))

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-25, 08:31 AM
((There is a list of current cases on the first page))

Isacus
2006-12-25, 08:34 AM
((Yes, I know, I was reading trough that, but noone was online.))

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-25, 08:45 AM
((Oh, ok. Just making sure you knew))

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 03:08 PM
Aerin comes through the portal and looks around. Anything new, Godric?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 03:11 PM
Godric shakes his head as Iames comes through the portal. No, nothing new, Officer.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 03:11 PM
Aerin nods. I see. Any news of Senior Officer Verdandi?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 03:12 PM
No. But she can take care of herself.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 03:12 PM
Aerin nods.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 03:25 PM
Iames looks at Aerin sympathetically, then turns to Godric. Godric, as of now, I want Captain Red Thing placed on the inactive list. I'll be formally assuming the office of Captain. Narfang deserves to be a Detective, and make Verdandi a Sergeant.

Godric takes notes, then looks up. You realize that'll require a fair amount of paperwork, sir.

Iames sighs. I'll take care of it. Aerin, you go on ahead. He holds out a hand for the paperwork.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 03:26 PM
Okay. Aerin goes out of the station.

Godric hands Iames the necessary papers.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 03:35 PM
Iames accepts the paperwork. His desk and the portal suddenly disappear, and as Iames opens the door to his new office, Godric can see that Iames's desk and the portal have appeared inside. An empty desk appears where Iames's desk was, and Iames sits down and begins filling out the papers.

AmberVael
2006-12-26, 03:49 PM
Verdandi walks into the station, scowling darkly. She takes a list of current cases from Godric without a word and sits at her desk.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 03:52 PM
Iames finishes the paperwork and brings it back out to Godric. He sees Vera. Vera! Where've you been?

AmberVael
2006-12-26, 03:53 PM
Hell. Verdandi flicks her wings irritatedly and reads over the page.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 03:56 PM
Iames raises his eyebrows. Oh. Why?

AmberVael
2006-12-26, 03:59 PM
Aesa thought I needed a break. Apparently she finds fighting for her life against undead and demons relaxing. Verdandi rolls her eyes and puts the paper on her desk.

McBish
2006-12-26, 04:02 PM
The mutt wakes up and looks around. He figures he better go patrol the streets so he gets up and leaves.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 04:03 PM
Iames winces. That doesn't sound fun at all. Would you like to go see that performance I promised you now?

AmberVael
2006-12-26, 04:06 PM
Verdandi relaxes and nods as her armor settles fully on her chair with a small clink.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 04:10 PM
Iames smiles and offers her his hand.

AmberVael
2006-12-26, 04:11 PM
Verdandi takes his hand, smiling back at him.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-26, 04:15 PM
Iames leads her into the office and through the portal.

Renrik
2006-12-26, 07:38 PM
Narfang comes in, sipping eggnog and wearing a santa hat instead of his regular paddy cap. He sits in his chair, still soewhat dizzy after the Hogmenay* party he attended last night, and shakes off a bit of his minor hangover.

*A goblin holiday, in which, after the gifts have been exchanged, you light fire to a giant pine tree, which burns all night, and go around the neighborhood threatening people unless tey give you alchohal. It's great fun.

Lord Magtok

((I should do that sometime.))

Lord Iames Osari

Aerin enters and makes a beeline for the portal now located in Iames's office.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-27, 01:27 PM
Babhdàn hobbles in and flops down at his desk.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 12:29 AM
SASO walks in and examines the current cases.
****, I don't know any of these people or where to find 'em.
I suppose I'll just go to the slums and wait for something to happen.
SASO leaves.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He comes back with some unconscious NPC from the slums, and drops the guy off at the infirmary.

After that, he leaves again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SASO comes in with a dead archer, and drops him off at the mortuary.
Jeez, dead bodies weigh a ton!
Afterwards, he heads out to the streets.

McBish
2006-12-28, 12:50 AM
The mutt walks inside and goes to sleep behind his desk.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 02:35 AM
SASO walks to his quarters and goes to bed.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 11:48 AM
Verdandi comes out of the portal in Iames's office and walks out the door of the station.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 12:58 PM
Babhdàn awakens.

Ugh...my head. he mutters. He looks down at his desk and his eyes turn sheet white. What...WHAT THE?

He jumps up and hops frantically out of the police station, grabbing a sketch of Jonnadiah on his way out.

(Anyone who cares to see what's on Babhdàn's desk that made him so uptight, it's a thirteen pointed star enscribed in a circle seemingly burned into the mahogany desktop.)

Silas
2006-12-28, 04:09 PM
Silas enters the station and looks around.

"Y'all got a police chief in here somewhere?"

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 04:22 PM
Babhdàn bursts into the police station, his clothes in tatters, his eyes glowing white hot. He begins furiously writing a report.

He pauses for a second, teleports away, then teleports back, continuing his furious work.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 04:23 PM
Verdandi comes into the station then looks at Babhdàn, then turns to Aesa as she enters. What happened?

Silas
2006-12-28, 04:24 PM
"Maybe I don't want to work at a station that ignores newcomers..."

Silas heads for the door.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 04:26 PM
Godric pipes up. We do in fact have a police chief. I'm sorry, I was absorbed in some paperwork.

Silas
2006-12-28, 04:26 PM
"Well, I'd like to speak to him, mainly about getting a job."

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 04:26 PM
Verdandi looks at Silas. Maybe if there had been someone here to help you, we could have talked to you. What can we do for you? She smiles, looking a bit harried, then sees that Godric has the situation handled.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 04:28 PM
Sir...just wait a minute, we're working ona case

Babhdàn turns to Verdandi Aesa and I found Jonnadiah and his accomplace in the Public Library, had a confrontation, the library is gone, I'm down 50,000 gold and I failed to arrest either of them. Jonnadiah was frozen and sliced into several pieces and was flug all around town by this guy Aloysius. Either way, I have a huge lead on this accomplace guy. Turns out he's the worse of the two mages, I'm placing the warrent for his arrest now.

Silas
2006-12-28, 04:29 PM
Silas turns and glares at Babhdan.

"I don't know who you are, or how you know my name."

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 04:30 PM
Silas turns and glares at Babhdan.

"I don't know who you are, or how you know my name."

((My bad))

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 04:31 PM
Verdandi nods, then turns to her sister and heals the cuts from where the ice had sliced through her flesh. She then walks over to Babhdàn and looks to see if he needs healing. Police Chief Iames should be here soon, unless I miss my guess. She puts emphasis on the name for no apparent reason. You can speak to him about joining the force.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 04:32 PM
Well, here I am. Iames appears. You want to join our ranks?

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 04:32 PM
Babhdàn shakes his head. I am unhurt, my woulds were all superficial and healed naturally. How much of a tailor are you, though? I appear to be mostly naked.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 04:33 PM
Verdandi shrugs. I could fix armor, but clothes? I am afraid not.

Silas
2006-12-28, 04:33 PM
"I would." Silas nods.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 04:34 PM
Aerin lands and comes in. Her eyes widen a bit as she sees how many people are inside.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 04:34 PM
Babhdàn sighs. Shame. Do you know where I might find some replacements?

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 04:37 PM
Well- Aesa sighs and waves a hand, and Babhdàn's clothes simply fix themselves. I might need to take a rest from this soon. I have channeled far too much in a short time. Verdandi gives her a look of alarm. How much did you channel?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 04:37 PM
Iames addresses Silas. Very well. Do you swear to uphold the law in this town?

Do you promise to obey the rules of the police as noted on page 1 of the police station thread?

Do you swear to the best of your ability to track and record crimes as well as apprehend and arrest crooks?

Silas
2006-12-28, 04:38 PM
Silas nods to each one.

"I swear."

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 04:39 PM
Thank you Babhdàn says, looking at his reparied outfit.

He begins scribbling away at his report.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 04:40 PM
SASO leaves the quarters, and heads out the door.
He leaves a reminder to Iames to check up on that dead archer from yesterday.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 04:40 PM
Wand him, Godric.

Godric pulls out a wand and waves it over Silas.

((What's your alignment?))

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 04:41 PM
Just twenty four spells, but all of them that close together... Aesa puts a hand to her head, and her silver bracelet flashes in the light. Verdandi leans in and takes a closer look at it. Is that what I think it is?

Silas
2006-12-28, 04:41 PM
"Wand me?"

((True Neutral))

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 04:46 PM
Just a test of your alignment.

True Neutral, Chief.

Iames nods. And your name?

Silas
2006-12-28, 04:46 PM
"Silas. And I guess that makes sense."

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 04:48 PM
Aesa quickly puts her hand over the bracelet. No no, its just coincidence. Verdandi shakes her head. I can tell its the same one. How did you get it back?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 04:51 PM
Godric rights down Silas's name and alignment on a personnel file, then pulls a badge out of the drawer and hands it to Iames. Iames takes it and offers it to Silas. Welcome to the force, Officer. May I ask what kind of abilities you'll be bringing to our force?

Silas
2006-12-28, 04:52 PM
"Numerous. Shock me."

Silas takes the badge.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 04:53 PM
I did not think that you would want it back anyways. Verdandi looks curious, and Aesa tightens her wings behind her and looks around frantically. Its- it was chance- I didn't- Aesa runs from the building.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 04:55 PM
Aerin moves quickly aside to clear Aesa's path.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 04:55 PM
Literally? Iames raises his eyebrows.

Silas
2006-12-28, 04:56 PM
"Literally. And don't hold back."

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 04:56 PM
Babhdàn finishes his report and posts it on the wall


Earlier this afternoon, my desk alerted me that Jonnadiah had cast a spell on this plane. I cast this spell on my desk by picking up residual magic from the caster while investigating his work on the beach. Upon seeing this, and being completely alone in the station, I headed over to Heaven's Exiles to enlist help. There I met with interim leader Aesa, who scried on Jonnadiah and found him and his accomplice (or maybe master) in the library, disguised.

We went to investigate and Aesa was locked in some form of mental conflict with Jonnadiah before deciding to attmpt to assassinate/capture him. During the conflict, Jonnadiah somehow became the library itself, so Aesa was forced to try to dissintegrate the building. A total of 50,000GP was paid from my pockets to fix these damages, plus an additional, undisclosed amount paid from the mage Jonnadiah himself.

Because she was provoked, I believe charges of destruction of property should be dropped against Aesa, should the librarian decide to press them.

During the conflict, the mage Aloysius caused significant destruction to the surrounding area by casting several large range spells. One of these spells resulted in sending Jonnadiah (who took the form of an ice elemental after the library walls were destroyed) flying throughout town in at least 6, maybe more, pieces.

None of these pieces were recovered.

During the conflict, I was a scant 5 seconds away from detaining the mage Aloysius before he melted into the shadows and most likely planeshifted away. Thus, the following charges should be pressed against Aloysius:
--Destruction of Property (both counts (Beach and library) totalling somewhere around 7.5 million GP)
--Murder (for his part most likely played in the Beach conflict)
--Resisting arrest

A fuller detailing of these events can be found here:

As Babhdàn finishes the report, he says I need a drink after that battle, anyone care to join me?

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 04:56 PM
Verdandi watches Aesa go, shocked. Huh.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:05 PM
Iames smiles. Alright. He fires a ray of electricity at Silas, one so powerful it creates a sizable static field throughout the station.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:05 PM
Aerin goes over to Vera. What was that about?

Silas
2006-12-28, 05:06 PM
Silas stands his ground, and allows the electricity to hit him, but nothing seems to happen. It seems as if he's grounded.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 05:06 PM
Feeling the tingle of static cling run up his back, Babhdàn turns.

Well, I'm off to Trog's then.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 05:08 PM
((Just resistance to electricity? That's it?))

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 05:10 PM
Well, she got that bracelet a long time ago. Verdandi looks down, lost in memories. A very long time ago...

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:13 PM
Yes? Aerin waits for more.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:13 PM
Interesting. What else?

Silas
2006-12-28, 05:15 PM
"Let's see...give me about a minute, and I could recite every record we have here...verbatium. Oh, and here's one of my favorites."

Silas holds up his right arm, and his hand slowly seems to melt. It turns to a silver liquid and reforms into a barrel, hardening over once it takes it's shape.

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 05:16 PM
Hawk enters the police station, suddenly realizing to himself that it'll be very awkward for everyone inside that some random guy just walked in for seemingly no reason..."That winged tart flew in, so I thought I'd follow her doesn't seem like a very good defense...

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 05:20 PM
Oh! Sorry. Well, it was a gift from one of the very few friends she had. But- Skuld decided that her friendship was distracting her from what she needed to do- so- Verdandi shakes her head.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:21 PM
((A barrel as in a gun barrel?))

So they were forced apart?

Silas
2006-12-28, 05:22 PM
((Yup, slightly larger than a Colt Revolver's barrel.))

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:23 PM
Iames manifests detect psionics. Very nice.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 05:23 PM
Verdandi nods. They took the bracelet as well. I had always assumed that they had destroyed it, but I guess not.

Silas
2006-12-28, 05:25 PM
Iames can detect psionics, but what Silas is currently doing isn't psionic.

"Like I said, numerous things."

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 05:27 PM
Hawk stands there idly, staring at the group of more-than-strange people conversing about the magical properties of a man's arm. How very questionable.

(It's hard to just insert yourself in an ongoing conversation without looking like an ass.)

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 05:28 PM
((I know what you mean.))

Verdandi notices Hawk and turns to him. Is there something we can help you with?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:30 PM
Iames nods. I'm sure you'll be an asset. He shows Silas to the empty desk. This will be your desk, and there are barracks here if you need a place to stay.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:31 PM
Aerin shakes her head. She certainly left in a hurry.

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 05:31 PM
Hawk continues standing there stupidly. All this time has passed and he still hasn't come up with a suitable explanation as to why he'd just stroll into a police station.

"Well..." He begins. "I'm..new here. And, well..." He starts hitting his stride, "..Since I was once in the uniformed protection field," (military) "I figured I should get to know the local officers. I hate feeling like I'm being protected by a bunch of shadows, you know?"

Hawk thinks he did pretty well on that one.

Silas
2006-12-28, 05:31 PM
Silas nods and sits at his desk. He reaches into his jeans pockets, and starts pulling a variety of items out, finding places to put them in his desk.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 05:35 PM
Verdandi smiles, taking the man at his word. The valkyrie holds out her hand to him. In that case, I am Senior Officer- Verdandi glances at the plaque on her desk. Sergeant Verdandi.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:38 PM
Officer Aerin Hitomi.

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 05:39 PM
Hawk extends his hand to shake hers. "Nice to meet you, officer." He doesn't smile - he rarely does anymore. He turns to shake Aerin's as well.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:41 PM
Captain Iames Osari. Iames waits until the man is finished shaking Aerin's hand, then extends his own.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 05:41 PM
Verdandi smiles at him. Its good to see someone with an interest in the force. Too many people outright ignore us.

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 05:43 PM
Babhdàn enters the police station and watches the conversation unfold from his desk.

He passes a quick glance at Silas.

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 05:43 PM
Hawk shakes Iame's hand as well. "Ah yes...The uniformed protection profession as a whole is looked down upon these days, I fear."

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 05:44 PM
That's an understatement Babhdàn mutters.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 05:45 PM
Verdandi nods sadly and looks to Iames. Did either of you find anything on your patrol? She glances between him and Aerin.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:48 PM
Iames shakes his head. Aerin's spell led us to the Bounty Hunters' Agency, but the door was locked.

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 05:49 PM
"Hmmm..." Hawk felt his urge to start controlling situations begin to well up in him. "Investigating a case?"

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 05:49 PM
Verdandi sighs and gets the list of current cases off of her desk. This list is too long for my liking. She hands a copy to Hawk.
((Its on the first page of the thread.))

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:50 PM
So we decided to return here. Iames has an idea about where we might be able to find several suspects, but we'll need to all be together.

Silas
2006-12-28, 05:51 PM
Silas looks up. "What were you looking for, Iames?"

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 05:52 PM
Iames nods. The woman Wukei claims she was being controlled by an entity named Loki. We've determined that he is located somewhere within the Bounty Hunters' Agency, but since it is private property, we did not enter.

((g2g, dinner. Will likely not be back for some time, unfortunately))

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 05:53 PM
SASO heads back to the station, and leans against a wall, examining the list of cases.
Are we ever going to get to do anything about these people?

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 05:55 PM
Hawk scanned the list, whistling at its length.

"Man, this list is longer than the one my boys and I took a couple years ago. This one group that had been travelling together started slaughtering people suddenly in the town square, I think the story was that they were influenced by a demon. That was a bloodbath.."

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 05:56 PM
Verdandi nods to Aerin. I am sure we can do something about it. She looks over at SASO. Jonnadiah was seen and resisted arrest today. Apparently he has an accomplice as well. The valkyrie glances at Hawk. It never gets any smaller, either.

Silas
2006-12-28, 05:59 PM
"Any certain order we're going about this?"

Jonnadiah
2006-12-28, 05:59 PM
Babhdàn spits Just...5 more seconds and I'd have had that Aloysius. GRARGH!

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 05:59 PM
I could mop the floor with the Marshalls, but the deity of Plot prevents anyone from going to that big island in the sky.
((Gotta go for next thirty min.))

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 06:01 PM
In any order we can, Silas. I think we are trying to solve this rash of murders by Wukei at the moment though.

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 06:04 PM
(I can imagine how awkward it'd be in real life for you to have three different conversations with three different people simultaneously...heh..)

Hawk sighed...He felt that he could personally stop the madness..That if he didn't he'd fail. Himself. His men. Everyone. He hated the feeling.

Silas
2006-12-28, 06:05 PM
"Well, count me in. I'd be glad to start working up to Sergeant."

Silas smiles and starts messing with an item he put into his desk.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 06:08 PM
Verdandi laughs a little. You mostly work your way up the ranks by outlasting the people who fade away and leave without giving notice. Iames only became captain recently- our former captain just left quietly one day and never came back.

Silas
2006-12-28, 06:09 PM
"Ah, well, I'll stay with this as long as I'm wanted."

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 06:11 PM
We can always use more people and help. I am glad to have someone join. Verdandi sighs and looks over the list.

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 06:11 PM
Hawk looks at Silas, then at Iames and Verdandi (in that order). "Wait, are you people taking recruits?"

Silas
2006-12-28, 06:13 PM
Silas shrugs. "Don't ask me, I'm still new." He looks at Verdandi. "I'm glad to help."

He turns his attention back to the device in his hands.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 06:14 PM
Verdandi nods to Hawk. We are always taking recruits. There are never enough people on the force.

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 06:17 PM
(The biting sarcasm stings, Silas. It really does.)

Hawk thinks to himself....

This is perfect, a way to thwart would-be evildoers, and know I'm making a difference. Just like the good old days!

Hawk's smile fades.

The good old days...

Visions of uniformed men laying dead on the ground, wading in puddles of blood fill into his mind. Hawk isn't looking at a reflective surface, but he can see his own scar in his eyes.

Do I want that? To risk that again?

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 06:21 PM
Verdandi sees Hawk's expression change, but she does not quite understand. Is there something wrong?

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 06:23 PM
Hawk looks up at Verdandi. "No..it's nothing."

I'm stronger this time. I won't break like I did...It'll...It'll be different. I know it will..

"Where do I sign up?"

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 06:25 PM
Verdandi smiles. You can speak to Iames, he will swear you in. Verdandi frowns thoughtfully. Actually, I think I might be able to swear people in now, but I do not know for sure.

Silas
2006-12-28, 06:25 PM
Silas listens, but his attention is mostly given to the device.

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 06:28 PM
"We should wait for Iames, then. That'd be pretty dumb to get sworn in only to find out later that it didn't really count, yeah?"

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 06:30 PM
Verdandi smiles. Yes it would. She sighs. We need to get a set system for ranks.

Silas
2006-12-28, 06:34 PM
"You ok, Verdandi?"

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 06:38 PM
Mostly. She flicks her white wings tightly against her back as she looks over the list of cases again.

Nevrmore
2006-12-28, 06:42 PM
It had only been a few idle minutes and Hawk was already impatient for Iames to return. He kept it well hidden, though. He bided his time looking over the list of cases.

Silas
2006-12-28, 06:53 PM
"If you say so..."

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 06:56 PM
I am just feeling a bit harried. Thank you for your concern though. Verdandi smiles at him.

Silas
2006-12-28, 06:59 PM
Silas smiles back. "No problem."

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 07:02 PM
Verdandi looks back at her list.

Silas
2006-12-28, 07:06 PM
Silas puts the device back in his desk, and looks around for another copy of the list.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 07:07 PM
((I'm back and nothing interesting seems to have happened. Yay! I missed out on nothing!))
SASO reexamines the list.
Should the Destro guy still be on the list?
Also, Masters seems to have disappeared from the little club of villains up at that flying hunk of land. Is he dead?
(("Flying hunk of land" is the Cornerstone of Worlds thread.))

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 07:14 PM
I think we put him down as serving his time... Verdandi frowns, then finds him on the list. Oh, here he is. Yes, he is there. As for the Masters, I do not know.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 07:18 PM
((How many of these people are still in Town? The Gezina trial thread said she gave up on the town, so she should be dropped from the list.))

Maybe that Vael guy knows.
The two were enemies or something.

((He doesn't know about what happened to Vael))

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 07:20 PM
((Neither does Verdandi.))
Maybe. Do we know where to find him? Actually, Iames will probably know.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 07:22 PM
Likely.
Speaking of Iames, has he ressurected and interrogated that crazed archer from yesterday?
He looks at the mortuary to see the body still there.
Guess not.
((Its not on the first page yet, but SASO brought him in on this page.))

http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29085&page=28

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 07:26 PM
Verdandi gets another copy of the list from Godric and hands it to Silas.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 07:33 PM
So who could we actually arrest?
Its annoying sitting here when there are wanted criminals out somewhere, roaming free.

Silas
2006-12-28, 07:35 PM
((Sorry, got called away for a moment. And I'm off now. Thanks though, Verdandi.))

Silas takes the list back to his desk and studies it.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 07:39 PM
That is the problem. Everyone who needs arresting has vanished.
((See you around.))

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 07:43 PM
SASO leaves the station, frustrated with the way people seemingly vanish and go into comas just as the deity, Plot, has something in store for them.
Guess I'll just head to Trog's.
SASO leaves the station.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 07:44 PM
Verdandi sighs and waits for Iames to come back.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 07:51 PM
SASO returns from the tavern.

There wasn't a single person there besides the bartender, and he's an NPC. So I'm back here, bored, and waiting for my deity, Plot, to do something.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 07:52 PM
Verdandi nods absently.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 07:59 PM
So where exactly does Iames get all his powers from?
They seem beyond that of the others I've seen in Town.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 08:01 PM
He is a deity. Did you not know that?

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 08:05 PM
I didn't. That explains a lot, now.
If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you?

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 08:08 PM
I am a valkyrie. Well, mostly valkyrie. My mother was Skuld, so I am actually both a valkyrie and a norn, and I have no idea who my father is.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 08:13 PM
Ah.
SASO has no idea what all this means, but remembers something about valkyries being naturals on the battlefield.
I myself am from another dimension.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 08:16 PM
Really? What was it like?

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 08:23 PM
Horrible.
The person called Lord Magtok had sent someone to assassinate every political leader in the world.
They had all been conducting a massive peace meeting.
A time of wars was about to end.
I was to watch over the meeting, and stop any possible assassins.
I...failed them. The assassin got in...and blew himself up.
That's not even the half of it, either...

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 08:26 PM
Verdandi listens to him sadly.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 08:33 PM
After the massive assassinations, the world had gone crazy. With no one to control them, people were out in the streets, killing, robbing, and looting.

I decided to freeze myself in a cyrogenic tube, and await the day civilization had order again. I don't remember all of the details, as the day I was thawed, I lost many of my memories. Including my name.

It was about ten years later that I was thawed out, and the one called Magtok had become ruler of the world during the chaotic times, with brutal android police forces, and armies to guarantee nobody opposed him.
I had awakened to a world that had been taken by evil, and it was all my fault...

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 08:35 PM
You left the world when it most needed help? Verdandi is incredulous.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 08:39 PM
It was an entire planet. I was just a guy with a pistol. There was nothing I could've done, without getting shot and killed in a half hour. There were no ressurections and such in my world. No magic at all.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 08:41 PM
Well, I guess... Verdandi looks down at the pistol on her desk.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 09:16 PM
I understand your reaction. It would be an entirely different matter if I had my current abilities back then.

All that I knew had changed when I was thawed. No longer did children run free, no longer did people smile. Everyone had been forced to work in factories for the majority of the day, building the very androids that opressed them.

When I was thawed, I was actually introduced to the world by the disgusting abomination called Magtok.
Eventually, I broke free of his sinister hold on the world, and fought him alongside the NSC revolutionaries.
After a decade of fighting, we killed him and toppled his oppressive regime.

Silas
2006-12-28, 10:06 PM
Silas wakes up and goes over the list he fell in sleep in front of.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 10:17 PM
((Oh hey, you both posted while I was gone.))
So how did you come here?

Silas
2006-12-28, 10:20 PM
Silas looks up and listens to the conversation.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 10:26 PM
Well, the world was finally free, and I saw that society was rebuilding itself fine, and democracy and world peace were only months away.
I double checked with an oracle that things would be safe, and figured that I could do good in other places as well.
Now that Magtok has somehow returned and followed me to Town, he must be stopped before he can further harm anyone.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 10:28 PM
Iames wakes up. Finally.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 10:28 PM
Verdandi nods in agreement. It does not sound like he should be left to his own devices.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 10:31 PM
About time you awoke, Iames.
I was afraid that coma of yours might've been fatal.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 10:34 PM
What have I missed?

Silas
2006-12-28, 10:35 PM
"A lot of talking."

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 10:35 PM
Aerin also wakes up.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 10:35 PM
I assumed as much, anything specific?

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 10:36 PM
Well, that man who came by wants to join the force. I was not sure whether I could actually swear people in or not, so I did not risk it.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 10:37 PM
Now that everyone's out of their comas, maybe we should head out and arrest someone now?
I've been waiting days for a plot to arrive.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 10:39 PM
Sergeants cannot induct new members. Vera, let me see that list of cases, would you?

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 10:40 PM
Godric clears his throat.

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 10:40 PM
Verdandi nods and hands him the list.

Lord Iames Osari
2006-12-28, 10:43 PM
Iames takes it and looks at it. Oh, yes. Godric, take the Masters off the list. He was absorbed by Vael, who is now dead.

Lord Magtok
2006-12-28, 10:43 PM
((Masters is dead, right? He shouldn't be on the list if he is. Nevermind, simu'posting.
Didn't Gezina leave the town?))

AmberVael
2006-12-28, 10:46 PM
Which one should we look into?

Lord Iames Osari
