"Hey, mind telling me where we're going?" He shouts up, grudgingly following underneath the flying creature.

"Fine." I say diving towards Thrice. "To the south as far as we can, we'll get there... eventually."

OOC: First person sounds no better

[Purity_Riot]

OOC: No, what I mean, is that your post was in quotations, meaning your character SAID "Aira flies over to Thrice and asks, so where are we going"

InC: Thrice groans, walking deliberately slowly through the forest, the trees obscuring Aira's view of him.

OOC: Would Thrice know of any sort of... air taxi? Or something like that?

Oh my fault xD

InC: Aira comes down through the trees and meets up with the slow walking Thrice. "Okay, I don't enjoy this any more then you do, but come on, do we really have to hate each other."

OOC: lol I doubt it.

Harry loses 1 karma for metagaming about knowing a magical item was about to be revealed.  Harry loses another karma for assuming the item was for him because I said it had something to do with karma.  Harry also gets his magical items bumped down the line.

OOC: Hurray for karma.

Morderca does a search check. (plain old boring one)

You find a tree!  There's lots of life energy coming from it, and, awkwardly enough, you think you might be standing on it's foot.

"You're the one flying, while some of us need to, oh you know, walk." He shakes his head, walking into a shadow and activating his armour, disappearing.

Swift turns to the party and says, "Well its been a long day, its always good to sleep under a tree for shelter and we might as well use the most powerful tree around while we can."

There was a magic item about to be revealed!? Sappara was just taking the tree literally and was hoping for maybe a Holy-Elf-Bible of Convincingness and a green robe. Why didn't you tell me that there was a magic item that was about to be revealed?! Sappara takes almighty beings of any type quite seriously. Especially the lawful good ones. If a lawful good god came down and said to jump off a bridge, and Sappara was fully aware that the god was good, he would do it without question.

"Wth. Where did you go? And what does flying have to do with this. Damn assassins" Aira whispers, still walking towards the kingdom.

[Purity_Riot]

ooc: "wth" lol

[$$$man]

ooc: "wth" lol

OOC: Yah, I expected that lol

It's like Aira just went W-T-H Thrice would be like W-T-F and they would all get confused

Glitch made it apparent that another mighty item would be added to the party in the last page in forum 3 (in the archive and i can't quote it now).

I can.

Also:  A brief view into the mind of a DM (read: why I'm stalling).
There's a reason all trips have one (and only one) random encounter.  It's BORING.  We need to get some plot up in here.  To be honest, the second I figure out how, I'm going to just straight up end this fight so we can move on.  But I haven't figured out how yet.  For one reason.

I've got a bit problem.  Namely, the party hates each other.  We've got splits up the whazoo, two new characters who became friends with Purity at the top of a magical dime, and a now mismatch in XP.  But, contrary to popular belief, the latter was planned.

You see, Aira and Thrice hate each other with a passion and have way more XP than the rest of the party.  What better solution to the problem is there than to force them on some arbitrary "getting to know each other" mission while the rest of you clowns get some experience?  And I've already got the whole escapade planned (No $$$, you won't be missing out on fighting/role playing, and no Purity, you won't have to put up with him for too long), including a magical weapon for a special someone (or perhaps a magical armor.  It depends upon... karma).  And since I now know what's going to go on for the rest of the plot, I've just got one last problem to deal with.

Namely, this obnoxious random encounter.  What follows is an optional coup de grace to end the fight.  If you honestly want to keep fighting, I'll let you.
 
The shopkeep steps out from the woods, eyes aglow.  He glances at the Havelock, who's handily made a copy of himself, and releases his charged spell with the words "greater fractal".

The ensuing swarm of 32 Havelock's easily overtake and demolish the remaining foes.

The shopkeep looks at you and shrugs.  "My great grand-daddy worshiped the frog queen.  So sue me."

Let's see:
250 x 4 = 1,000 EXP
25 x 3 = 75 EXP
100 x 3 = 300 EXP
50 x 7 = 350 EXP
Total EXP gained.... 1725 EXP!!!!!!!!!  *mario fireworks*

Or split eight ways,  215 a piece.  (You're welcome, people who wanted to level up).

Now, if this is acceptable, we can carry on the plot in thread numero four.
