Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 05:18 PM
Jonnadiah begins pacing back and forth. "Excellent, exactly what I was looking for. No remorse, all vendetta. Tell me, what is your alignment, if you have any?"

Babhdàn groans and lifts his head. Wha? Wha...new....new leader? Verdandi? What has happened?

Jonnadiah turns to Babhdàn briefly, and says "Never you mind, we'll get you out of here, pet."

Gemini
2007-01-22, 05:19 PM
"Well, to be completely honest, I used to be evil. Now I am neutral."

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 05:22 PM
Jonnadiah's face turns sour for a moment. "A shift in alignment? Well, you did start a mercenary guild. You can't exactly afford to have opinions in such a situation, doesn't bode well for business. Of course, not having a strong code of life isn't exactly much fun. Aren't you tired of being bossed around by the like of Iames?"

Gemini
2007-01-22, 05:25 PM
The doppelganger's face becomes confused. "I don't know what you mean...Iames had a patnership with me, he was never my boss. We respected each other-still do. I don't have a problem with him, he DID quit the police after all."

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 05:30 PM
Jonnadiah's eyes narrow. "And WHAT were his motives for that? Certainly NOT disloyalty to the force, after all his tart is now in charge and he's in their constantly."

Jonnadiah whistles, calling Evan over with a quick motion of his arm. "Evan, I need you to head on over to the station and get Babhdàn out of here, I'm tired of having to watch what I say in front of him."

Evan nods and rushes out of the Temple.

Jonnadiah turns back to Gemini, "Follow me." He walks towards the back of the main room, taking a quick pick at one of Maliohen's remaining organs. "Yuck....cold." he says, spitting it on the floor, half chewed.

Jonnadiah walks through the door at the foot of the Statue of Aloysius, which leads into a small hallway. At the end of the hall is a door, which Jonnadiah opens and enters. He is now in a small room, with a plush reclining chair, a couch and a fire roaring in the fire place. He motions to Gemini to sit in the recliner.

Gemini
2007-01-22, 05:34 PM
((Keep in mind that it is his doppelganger, the real gemini is talking with Iames.)) The doppelganger sits. "You have a very nice temple. I am sorry I cannot be here in person, I am talking with Iames as well. Now, what are our plans so far?"

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 05:39 PM
Evan walks back into the Temple and stands over by Babhdàn, waiting for Verdandi.

Gemini
2007-01-22, 05:48 PM
The doppelganger yawns.

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 05:49 PM
((Jonnadiah's character points to Gemini's PM box))

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 05:49 PM
Verdandi comes inside, a hand resting easily on her sword.

Silas
2007-01-22, 05:50 PM
Silas enters after her, and stands at her side.

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 05:51 PM
Evan looks up. "Relax, he's not here. Anyway, here's the officer. " He motions towards Babhdàn. "He can't move, can barely talk. He was here fighting along side that ass Kyrian when all of a sudden Dinosaurs burst from his chest and he fell down like this. Been here ever since. Pro'ally heard quite a bit too."

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 05:54 PM
Really? Thats what happened, is it? Verdandi casts a small truth detecting spell. Are you telling the truth?
((Note that when the spell is resisted or does not affect someone, she knows.))

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 05:58 PM
Evan grins. "Oh, there's no need for that. I've no reason to lie to you, none of us do, though Aloysius may do it for fun. Our ambitions are bare naked at this point, the time for being duplicious and sneaky is well over."

Evan picks up a rock. "Allow me to demostrate why this officer concerns me." He drops the rock on Babhdàn's quicksilver chest, the rock disappears and reappears on the ceiling. It falls to the ground a few feet away from Evan. "This is why Jonnadiah said Babhdàn is incapable of movement, he's trapped in the very place he's the door to...or something, I'm just a humble cleric, I'm unfamiliar with such powers."

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:00 PM
So what are the police supposed to do about this?

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:01 PM
Silas looks around, using his cybernetic eyes to determine the alignment of Evan, anyone else present (minus the officers of course) and of the building itself.

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:03 PM
"Well, seen as how this guy's one of your loyal officers, we'd think you'd at least put some effort into removing him. Of course, if you aren't going to put forth effot willingly, then, well, maybe you guys aren't as bad as we thought. Trust me, if this guy wasn't more of a burden than a blessing, we'd keep him here for leverage, otherwise, Police inaction would have have had him ended up like THAT hostage." Evan says, motioning towards the charred and rotting corpse of Maliohen, lying on the center altar.

((Evan is NE, Aloysius (who is wandering around on the ceiling) is CE, the building itself if True Neutral))

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:09 PM
I understand that he is one of our officers, and that we should try and remove him. My question was how do we remove him? Verdandi raises an eyebrow. You have not one, but two gods here who do not desire his presence- if they cannot remove him, why should we be able to?

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:10 PM
Silas looks at the corpse.

"Verdandi...did he not just admit that the corpse over there was the work of either him or Jonnadiah and Aloysius?"

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:12 PM
Evan shakes his head. "I'm sure if they truly put their minds to it, they could come up with something. But, you see, they are preoccupied with other plans to sit around figuring out how to fix a slip in time and space... Hell, methinks they are even more concerned with the fact that there's a portal to their temple wandering around. A portal who happens to be loyal to the police."

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:14 PM
Verdandi gives Silas a look that says she knows what she is doing, and turns back to Evan. Oh really? So they come to their temple alot?

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:16 PM
Silas shrugs and looks around again.

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:17 PM
Evan points to Aloysius who is walking on the ceiling in a player induced Coma. "They live here now. Figure it's too dangerous to risk you finding their personal realm."

Jonnadiah, leading Gemini, walks from the door at the foot of the Statue of Aloysius. "Ah, Verdandi! Just who I wanted to see!"

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:18 PM
Verdandi looks to Jonnadiah. Really? Well I suppose that makes two of us. You are under arrest, and I assume you will not come quietly?

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:20 PM
Jonnadiah sighs, "Look, obviously Mutt hasn't filled you in on anything. This officer dies if I'm arrested. Do you really want that on your conscience?"

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:21 PM
Verdandi frowns. If I must sacrifice one officer for the good of many, so be it. You have eluded us for far too long, and slain too many. She draws her sword in one hand, and her manacles in the other.

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:22 PM
Silas' hands begin to melt.

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:25 PM
"Right, have fun with that." Jonnadiah splits into 12 identical copies, who begin running to a fro, knocking over pews and tackling NPCs. Babhdàn shouts as the floor begins to melt around him.

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:26 PM
Silas raises both arms. He fires the energy cannons 12 times, once for each copy.

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:28 PM
Each canon shot hits with amazing percision. Each clone explodes and entrails hit the floor with sickening splats. From each clone's entrails, two more arise.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:30 PM
Verdandi uses her badge to call for Aerin, and tell her to bring Iames to the temple. She then lunges for the nearest copy and swings her sword and antimagic manacles at him.
((Talk about an overpowered character.))

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:31 PM
Silas fires at twelve of the copies, this time with ectoplasm, which will trap them if it hits.

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:33 PM
((Talk about a very simple Illusion/Conjuration spell.))

The 12 copies struggle against the ectoplasmic goop, the one Verdandi strikes is cut down and does not rise, but rather fades from existence.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:35 PM
Verdandi mentions her trueseeing, looking for the real Jonnadiah.

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:35 PM
Silas realizes that he too has true seeing and uses it.

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:38 PM
Silas and Verdandi cast true seeing, and find that they are surrounded entirely by living, rotten, corpses. The real Jonnadiah is no where to be found. Even the most skilled ranger will discern that he has not been here for well over a day.

The Jonnadiah clones begin closing in on Silas and Verdandi, swinging wildly with their limbs.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:39 PM
((Actually, they have had their trueseeing on the entire time. New badges, remember?))

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 06:41 PM
Iames and Aerin appear.

What is it?

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:41 PM
Silas grins as he fires the energy cannon at the copies.

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 06:41 PM
Aerin reaches for her sword and curses as she remembers that she left it at Trog's.

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:42 PM
((-_-' No, didn't happen to see that bit, will keep it in mind for the future though))

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:44 PM
Verdandi sighs. I want this temple locked down, possibly destroyed, officer Babhdan freed, oh, and I want to raise that man- She points at the man with the too complicated name who is dead, And to track Aloysius and Jonnadiah if we can.

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:46 PM
"I like the sound of that."

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:47 PM
Babhdàn screams as the floor continues to swallow him. "Too late!" one of the clones screams before he's cut down my Silas. The space in the floor where Babhàn is stuck explodes and rains quicksilver over everything in the temple. Evan takes the blast full on and falls dead to the floor, the altar on which Maliohen is laying rockets skywards, followed by the 4 altars on its side.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:48 PM
Verdandi's breastplate glows and she simply withstands the blast, emerging somewhat burnt but mostly fine. Correction, I want to raise Officer Babhdan.

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:50 PM
Silas pulls up a thin shield that protects him from the blast.

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 06:50 PM
Iames nods. Got it. He manages to evade the quicksilver somehow.

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 06:51 PM
Aerin also dodges the quicksilver. And me?

Jonnadiah
2007-01-22, 06:52 PM
((I have to cut out for the night, I'll be back out tomorrow))

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:53 PM
Aerin, I want you to find Mayor Gwen. Ask her if we have license to destroy this building. Silas, find a way to block of the building in the meantime.

Silas
2007-01-22, 06:54 PM
"Got it."

Silas starts to look around.

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 06:54 PM
Aerin nods and flies off.

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 06:55 PM
Iames concentrates and raises Babhdan.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 06:57 PM
Verdandi kneels and holds her sword point down, chanting softly.

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:06 PM
Aloysius falls down from the ceiling, finally out of his player enduced coma, he catches sight of Verdandi and the others, "Well well well, what have we here? If it isn't my good friends!" He glances about, "Seems that our little portal finally bit the dust, no matter..."

He takes a few steps towards the statue of himself, then catches sight of Dwights corpse, he sighs, "And he was such a good servant, no matter... I shall just have to create another meat puppet to do my bidding."

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:10 PM
Verdandi finishes her chant, cutting off the building from dimensional travel, and placing wards on the doors that only the police can get through. Well, I had not planned for anyone to be inside after I finished that galdr, but with you I think we can make an exception. She stands and holds her sword ready.

Silas
2007-01-22, 07:11 PM
Silas watches Verdandi, his arms slowly begining to melt again.

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:12 PM
Aloysius raises his hand, pointing a finger at Verdandi, "Tsk tsk tsk, So you have trapped me within my temple... What do you propose to do now?! Fight me! Pah, thats a good one! Arrest me! EVEN BETTER! Now, if you dont mind, I have more important matters that need to be attended to." He turns and walks off down the hallway below his statue.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:14 PM
Verdandi flies after him and strikes at his back with her sword.

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:15 PM
The sword passes through Aloysius as he vanishes, appearing at the end of the hallway in the same instant. "Let me be, I am in no mood to fight at the moment. Come back later if that is all you desire."

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 07:16 PM
Iames decides to try again when Babhdan's player is around. He looks up and follows after Vera.

Silas
2007-01-22, 07:16 PM
Silas follows them, his hands having been replaced by two Buzzsaw guns.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:19 PM
Whether this fight occurs or not is not up to you! Verdandi flies down the hall with incredible speed, readying herself to reverse her strike is her moves again.

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:22 PM
"I choose not to fight, so leave me be!" Aloysius waves a hand quickly in front of his face, once again vanishing from view. This time however he does not reappear, although in the same instant he dissapears a door that was once open now stands closed, and the sound of several mundane locks being set behind it can be heard, along side the sound of many magical chants and spells. Aloysius has locked himself in the room, warding against all entrance, both magical and mundane.

Silas
2007-01-22, 07:23 PM
"Aww, and I'd wanted to share some of the fun...."

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 07:23 PM
Iames turns and fires a disintegration ray at the door.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:24 PM
Verdandi walks over to the door and turns back to Iames. Iames, if you could bring up some antimagic, please.

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:24 PM
The ray hits the door and is simply absorbed, having no discernable effect.

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 07:30 PM
Iames nods and goes over to the door. He brings up an antimagic field.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:31 PM
Verdandi nods and kicks the door, hard.

Silas
2007-01-22, 07:32 PM
Silas brings his arms up, ready to fire two tracers at Aloysius.

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:32 PM
The door opens a smidgen before the several dozen of the locks kick in, keeping it in place, slightly ajar.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:34 PM
((Mind you, according to RAW Verdandi can kick down iron doors just about every time, in case you need a level of comparison.))
Verdandi pulls back, then calls on her Kensai reserve of strength and slams into the door, probably snapping all the locks in one go.

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:38 PM
((Mind you...the door isnt iron))

The door flies open slamming into the wall and falling to the floor. The newley revelead room is filled with bookshelves, each one stuffed to the brim with books, in the back of the room is a large safe. The room is empty, with no sign of Aloysius.

Silas
2007-01-22, 07:40 PM
Silas looks around with his cybernetic eyes.

((Heat seeking, x-ray, true seeing))

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:41 PM
((Like I said, if you need a level of comparison.))
Verdandi looks around with her Trueseeing and Detect Evil, hoping to find something.

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:41 PM
Again, there is no sign that aloysius was ever in the room.

Silas
2007-01-22, 07:42 PM
((And as pointed in previous posts, no one but the police can leave/enter))

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:43 PM
((Did i say he left? All I said was that there was no sign that he was or is in the room))

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 07:43 PM
Iames dismisses the antimagic field and enters the room. He manifests trace teleport. He nods. I do. If you'll give me a moment...

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:43 PM
Iames, you do not have a way to discern location, do you? She walks over to the safe, wondering if it is made of lead.

Silas
2007-01-22, 07:44 PM
((Heat vision and x-ray would show him no matter what room he's in))

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:45 PM
Again, the magic reveals no sign that Aloysius was in the room recently.

Silas
2007-01-22, 07:45 PM
And once again, Heat-seeking and X-Ray WOULD SHOW. They aren't magic.

Deus Mortus
2007-01-22, 07:46 PM
((Heat vision and x-ray would show him no matter what room he's in))

((No, heat vision would discern him against a colder or warmer environment, he can block that by simply being in a room with the same temperature as his him, change hsi temperature or mask it with sources of heat, also x-ray can't see through metal))

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:47 PM
Verdandi attempts to open the safe, first normally, then by smashing off the lock.

Flabbicus
2007-01-22, 07:47 PM
(Note: In the future when I don't want my characters to be found lock them in a small, room temperature lead box. Make sure to include airholes, we don't want a repeat of last time.)

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:47 PM
And once again, Heat-seeking and X-Ray WOULD SHOW. They aren't magic.

Again, no sign of Aloysius.

The safe opens easily, revealing a small empty room.

Deus Mortus
2007-01-22, 07:49 PM
(Note: In the future when I don't want my characters to be found lock them in a small, room temperature lead box. Make sure to include airholes, we don't want a repeat of last time.)

Well only if you were room temperature yourself, if not then the temperature of your body (which is pretty hot, or sources of heat surrounding it so you can't be seen).

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:50 PM
Verdandi goes into the safe and looks around, her two spells still up and ready, just in case.

Flabbicus
2007-01-22, 07:50 PM
Well only if you were room temperature yourself, if not then the temperature of your body (which is pretty hot, or sources of heat surrounding it so you can't be seen).

(( Note: Kill them first so they don't stand out. And remember not to announce your plans aloud again.)

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:51 PM
Verdandi enters the safe and looks around, once again finding no traces of Aloysius.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:52 PM
Verdandi searches the room for anything that might be hidden or unobvious.
((Meaning the safe-room, not the other room. That will come later.))

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:54 PM
The saferoom is just that, noting hidden or unobvious about it, just an empty metal cube.

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 07:55 PM
Iames uses metafaculty (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/metafaculty.htm).

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 07:56 PM
Verdandi goes to the outside of the safe and begins chanting.

Silas
2007-01-22, 07:57 PM
Silas' hands return to normal.

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 07:59 PM
Iames sees a brief image of aloyius standing in front of a large window overlooking the town, about four stories up, leaning on his staff as he laughs at those walking past below.

((Name: Aloysius ...duh
Alignment: CE
Important items: Staff of the Magi, several stat boosting items, baccobs blessed book...
Significant actions in past 8 hours: none))

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 08:01 PM
((You might want to give the other details that Metafaculty would give. Like name, alignment, important items... etc.))

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 08:08 PM
Give me one of your hands, both of you.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 08:10 PM
Verdandi takes Iames's hand.

Silas
2007-01-22, 08:12 PM
((Eep, sorry))

Silas lays a hand on Iames' shoulder.

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 08:13 PM
Iames teleports them to where he saw Aloysius.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 08:14 PM
((Except... not. Dimensional lock?))

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 08:22 PM
((Oh. Right. Nevermind then.)) Iames sighs as he remembers the dimensional lock and creates an avatar where he saw Aloysius. Nevermind. I forgot the dimensional lock Vera put up.

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 08:23 PM
Can you lead us there normally?

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 08:24 PM
((eh, whatever))

Aloysius turns and greets the avatar, "Hello, I dont suppose you came to see the view?" Without waiting for a response he vanishes.

((I must be off for the night, we could continue this...but its simply going to end up being you guys locating him, teleporting to him, and him vanishing agian, wash rinse and repeat...Aloysius can use time stop at will...I actually have it stated out so he can do so, same goes for delayed blast fireball, but thats irrelevant at the moment.))

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 08:27 PM
((To you and Jonnadiah, I point out this:

However, just as bad as taking control of someone else's character is making your own never get affected by them. As Regiji says: "The counter part to an irresistable force is an immovable object." Therefore, you should let people at least achieve SOMETHING when they attempt to affect you. You don't have to all the time, but if your character is continually "immovable" you will be godmodding, and people will be extremely likely to ignore you. So don't just "I dodge" everything, okay? Let people do something to you if they try.When you are ready to actually... I don't know... progress this stagnating plot, I will be happy to do something, but until then, stop bugging me with it, damn it.))
Verdandi sighs and leaves.

DarkSetzer
2007-01-22, 08:29 PM
((I'm full well ready to move on with it, as soon as you find a way to capture Aloysius... Sure, I made it really hard to do so, but hey...use those brains!))

Lord Iames Osari
2007-01-22, 08:29 PM
Iames shakes his head. I'm afraid not. He follows her out.

Deus Mortus
2007-01-22, 08:31 PM
((Giant antimagic field ftw?))

AmberVael
2007-01-22, 08:56 PM
((Just as a note to anyone who understandably does not want to read the entire thread to find this-
The temple is warded against entrance by anyone but the police, and there is a dimensional lock over the entire area. The effect is only partially magical, so dispelling it probably will not work.))

Deus Mortus
2007-01-22, 08:59 PM
((Brute force will?))

AmberVael
2007-01-23, 12:13 PM
((#1 There is only one ward that has been placed. I assumed that the active person could respond to me casting it if he so desired, which he did not. I mean, he is the other person who has this temple in his name. Surely he could have said the same thing if he wanted? However, since you were not here I will let you rule that it was warded... against... warding... thats a very understandable warding to have but a really odd thought, you know? Makes sense, but at the same time... it doesn't sound right.
#2 If you are arguing that Lawful Good people cannot make sacrifices for the greater good, you might want to revise your opinion. Next, I will concede that I did not respond in the best way, but I am getting more than a little pissed off with this stagnating plot. Furthermore, it was your choice to make Babhdan die. You might not have liked doing it, but hell, it was your choice. Don't pin the blame on me, and also, it does not change the fact that your characters are doing anything they want and getting away with it. Honestly, I am sick of this by now. Babhdan's death really did not make things more interesting- its just another "oh look, we're bad" to put on your checklist.
#3 My characters, unlike yours, do get affected by things. They may withstand things fairly well, but they get hit, and do not hit automatically, or do anything automatically. Point out a real case of godmodding, and I will allow you to say that I godmod, but until then, don't.))

((I have to words for you, one of them is you, and the other is censored. Use your brains and figure out the puzzle!))

((JOnnadiah, posting from a friend's.

OK, You are all Godmodding like crazy right now. You went on and put all these rediculous wards on the temple without checking to see what can and cannot be done. As the sole creator of this place, I should have say in what can and cannont be done to this place. In the least you could have assumed that a building constructed by a Character ECL ~60 would have some semblance of a ward, and have a damn good chance of meeting a save DC from a character of approximately the same level.

Further more, try listening to the Vael post yourself. The maturity level here is about that of a Kindergarden classroom (see quoted text). This has become a battle of "Whose imaginary friend is better?" Well, you know something? I don't like it when my characters die. Babhdàn is dead, can't be revived by standard means by virtue of the fact that he is an interdimensional portal with no organic parts...hell, no inorganic parts either. I sacrificed Babhdàn on the basis of making the story interesting. If the police force is meant to be LG, they certainly dropped the ball on that bit, didn't they? ::gasp:: is this a potential chance for character development? OMG it's liek weir rPing or somthin'!!!111!))

The Temple groans in protest as Verdandi and Iames attempt to cast wards on it, it doesn't seem to work throughout, but rather spotty areas completely resist the magic while others are affected.

Verdandi attempts to enter the door underneath the statue of Aloysius, but cannot. As it turns out, it's not a door at all, it was completely unaffected by the interdimensional ward thing. As Verdandi attempts to run through it, she hears a mechanical voice in her head "Only Jonnadiah and Aloysius may enter, all others rejected."

((Sorry, switched accounts

Anyway, how can you be one to talk? These new rules fall under the category of doing whatever the **** you want. Why stop me when you cannot even resist the urge yourself?))

((Let me ask you this:
If I am doing whatever I want, why are you not caught already? I have been (but am not anymore) accepting what you do, and I have not godmodded to catch you, and have allowed you to do as you please. Again, if you would give me an example of what you are talking about, maybe I could see what you are arguing against and could agree with and/or refute your accusations.))

((::Points to the attempted wards on chruch::
::points to the fact that I'm NOT uncatchable::
::points to battle in the library where I lost a limb and nearly died (I was within 15 HP of unconciousness::
::points to the fact that you are trying to fight fire with fire::
::points to the fact that I've yet to been in a situation where I could possibly BE caught. A chase isn't fun unless you have to work for it. Randomly showing up and killing a few zombies is FAR from good police work, Officer Nancy::))

((Ugh, must we argue!!! Good lord people... Why is it that we can not have a simple RP with a simple plot... hm? Why must it always end up being an arguement about Godmodding? Just shut up and RP already

Also I agree with jonnadiah on the following points:
Aloysius has almost died before, at Trogs...when he was fighting like five people at once.
Aloysius is also able to be caught, you just have to figure out how.))

((In fact, had Aloysius had one less useage of that shadow thing, Babhdàn'd have caught him in the library))

((#1 Attempted wards. Attempted. If they were attempted, how could that possibly be godmodding? I let you respond and negate, even though you took your actions way way later. DarkSetzer also had a chance to respond, though he did not take it.
#2 You got hit so badly you were bleeding and then got away ANYWAYS. And doesn't that negate your point that you have not been in a situation where you could get caught?
#3 Great point. It has no facts behind it.
#4 Even assuming that you are correct and that you could not have been captured in the library, thats exactly my point. You can't get caught, thats the problem. Give us a chance.
Lets switch this to PM, mkay?))

2007-01-23, 12:57 PM
((#1 I did not want to take action against that, as I did not create the temple and do not know what it is capable of, I thought to leave that to Jonnadiah.
#2 That one confuses me... Just because someone is hurt, bleeding and near death, does not mean that they cannot take action to run and recover...
#3 ???
#4 we are saying that we CAN get caught, not that we cant... We are giving you a chance... YOU just have to FIGURE OUT HOW to CATCH US...its not like we are going to let ourselves be caught))

((Just as a note to anyone who understandably does not want to read the entire thread to find this-
The temple is warded against entrance by anyone but the police, and there is a dimensional lock over the entire area. The effect is only partially magical, so dispelling it probably will not work.))

((Totally Pwnd.))

AmberVael
2007-01-23, 01:01 PM
((That means you cannot dispel it. I can definitely see how that could be misunderstood to mean you cannot do anything against it, but that is not true. Here is what it means:
If your temple is warded against it, as in, such a magic cannot a) be used or b) work (not as in instantly dispelled, but just does not work for whatever reason) then it still does not work (meaning, my spell does not work). Alternatively, if you have a way to remove non-magical effects, it also will work to remove my spell.))

((^^: I know its a stretch to think of me talking in this way, but if you try and add a rational, reasonable voice to my more recent posts (not some of the others, I was admittedly angry there) then they might be less stupid and offensive.))
((Seid. Verdandi is not half as skilled as Aesa in it, and rarely uses it, but she has used it ever since she arrived in town. You can read my description of Seid in Aesa's notes. Also, I believe it is reasonable to assume that any permanent effects on a temple will be in the first post. Plus, I assumed that since it was yours and DarkSetzer's temple, he would know something like that about it. Apparently I was wrong?))

((I think this is enough of the OOC comments. Some are getting somewhere and some are not. Verdandi was within her rights as a police officer to try and limit entrance/exit from the Temple. The Temple does belong to people who are accused of criminal activity and the reports are at the police station. As to catching said people, if you make it too difficult than people in Town will begin to ignore you. I have had an alt in the past that eluded the police, it made them very frustrated. In the end I allowed my alt to be captured. I feel to do otherwise undermines the police and completely frustrates them. I am not trying to tell you how to run your chars I am simply trying to help those involved in this argument.))

Jonnadiah
2007-01-23, 01:17 PM
((-_-'. OK, let's try to reach a comprimise. I was under the impression that Seid was something you had made up. Now that I know it's more like "Witchcraft", things make a little more sense.

Admittedly I was a bit sketchy on the details of the wards on teh church, I shall edit the post to be more specific. As for catching Jonnadiah... you do realise that I'm honestly looking forward to the IC trial, simply for the sheer RPing bliss. However, I'm not about to come quietly.

Can this plot lie low as I discuss with Setzer what we're supposed to be doing (and maybe stat out Jonnadiah completely as opposed to the lame semblance of spell lists and HP that I have)? It may take a couple of days... pick this up Friday?))

AmberVael

((I believe that would be a good idea, as it would also give us all time to calm down. "All" meaning "mostly me."))

DarkSetzer

((I can agree to that, I also have to put the finishing touches onto Aloysius character sheet, namely his spell list... and then figure out just how many tomes he has to have to keep all of these spells...

Would also give me time to get Jonnadiah to tell me just what this temple can and cant do, since...that would be good to know, as to avoid this in the future.

ANd just one last comment on avoiding the police: I think it is safe to say that Aloysius would do all he can to keep the police from getting him, im not going to let him get captured simply to keep people from getting frustrated, thats the whole point, they need to figure out how to keep him from escaping (and it really isnt all that hard)... And, thus ends that))
