The Force of NatureChapter 4(10:11:47) Jafar: LAST TIME, ON THE RPS!
(10:12:08) Jafar: Jafar had found Swift, Night had got captured, yadayadayada...
(10:12:11) ***Jafar trails off...
(10:12:14) Jafar: Anyway!
(10:12:19) Jafar: Let's continue!
(10:13:13) SorceressSwift: Hmm... So now what?
(10:13:57) SorceressSwift: I'm most surprised that he didn't try to force you to take Night's place
(10:14:01) Jafar: Maybe we should go to Tarna and see what we can do about my...condition
(10:14:06) SorceressSwift: What does he want with Night anyway?
(10:14:18) SorceressSwift: I guess that's the best thing to do now
(10:14:18) Jafar: I don't know
(10:14:28) Jafar: But we'll deal with him later
(10:14:48) SorceressSwift: Well, the caravan will be arriving tomorrow morning. I suggest you get some sleep no
(10:14:53) SorceressSwift: now*
(10:15:24) Jafar: Okay.
(10:15:37) ***SorceressSwift heads to the katta inn
(10:15:47) ***Jafar heads to his home
(10:17:41) ***Jafar reaches his home and goes to bed
(10:18:28) SorceressSwift is now known as eavesdropper
(10:19:07) eavesdropper: How do you find your new home, Night?
(10:19:22) ***eavesdropper shakes sphere
(10:20:31) eavesdropper: You ruined my plan
(10:20:58) Night_trappedinasphere: Perhaps...
(10:21:03) eavesdropper: I was suppose to present the artifact to Miros!
(10:21:07) eavesdropper: Perhaps what?
(10:21:12) ***Night_trappedinasphere smiles with satisfaction
(10:21:27) Night_trappedinasphere: Perhaps I ruined your plans...
(10:22:00) Night_trappedinasphere: or maybe your plan was simply doomed to faliure.
(10:22:17) ***Night_trappedinasphere chuckles
(10:22:22) eavesdropper: I shall delight in keeping you here until I can find a more suitable place to put you
(10:22:42) eavesdropper: You were suppose to come alone, you bumbling idiot!
(10:23:10) eavesdropper: Instead, you were followed! and she discovered my plans!
(10:23:21) eavesdropper: and you continued to arouse even more suspicion!
(10:23:40) eavesdropper: getting that paladin to trail you!
(10:24:09) eavesdropper: You- you ruined everything!!
(10:24:12) ***Night_trappedinasphere leans up against the side of the sphere, lazily
(10:24:49) eavesdropper: And when I was about to steal that paladin's powers, you had to- WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME?!
(10:24:56) ***eavesdropper shakes sphere violently
(10:25:17) Night_trappedinasphere: HEY!
(10:25:36) Night_trappedinasphere: I'm listening! I'm listening!
(10:25:53) eavesdropper: Time for a new plan...
(10:26:07) eavesdropper: Let's see... what can I do with a useless thief?
(10:26:10) eavesdropper: Hmm...
(10:26:21) ***eavesdropper sighs
(10:26:33) eavesdropper: I suppose I'll have to use you as bait
(10:27:09) eavesdropper: Hopefully, the paladin will be stupid enough to risk his life for the likes of you
(10:27:36) eavesdropper: And then I'll steal his powers and present them to Miros myself
(10:27:46) eavesdropper: Master will be so pleased!
(10:28:01) Night_trappedinasphere: Master?
(10:28:17) eavesdropper: That would be Miros
(10:29:37) eavesdropper: I bet those two will go to Tarna, and that's where we're going
(10:30:02) Night_trappedinasphere: You do not wish to use the powers for yourself?
(10:30:14) eavesdropper: Oh?
(10:30:21) eavesdropper: Hmm... I never thought of that
(10:30:30) ***eavesdropper ponders
(10:30:43) ***eavesdropper smiles wickedly
(10:30:57) eavesdropper: Yes... yes...
(10:31:14) eavesdropper: For once, you actually said something helpful
(10:31:38) eavesdropper: Why, with power like that, I could rule the world!
(10:31:58) ***eavesdropper pats sphere
(10:32:14) eavesdropper: Thanks. I'll make sure your death will be painless
(10:33:18) Night_trappedinasphere: Why not just let me live?
(10:33:28) eavesdropper: And of course, if Jafar won't try to save you, perhaps I'll have to get a better bait...
(10:33:29) ***Night_trappedinasphere looks at him, for some sign of mercy
(10:34:00) eavesdropper: Because... that won't be fun, would it?
(10:35:13) ***eavesdropper laughs in an insane manner
(10:36:23) eavesdropper is now known as SorceressSwift
(10:36:57) SorceressSwift: Caravan's here
(10:37:02) SorceressSwift: Let's move
(10:37:50) ***Jafar wakes up
(10:38:06) Jafar: Ooh...what a weird dream...
(10:38:07) SorceressSwift: Funny how you're still green
(10:38:18) SorceressSwift: What did you dream of?
(10:38:19) ***Jafar looks at himself
(10:38:38) ***Jafar 's SKIN is green now, it's not just a glow!
(10:38:58) Jafar: Huh!?
(10:40:30) Jafar: Uh...Swift? Do I look any different to you?
(10:40:39) SorceressSwift: Yes...
(10:40:57) SorceressSwift: You're going to have a hard time finding a date like this
(10:41:31) Jafar: Uh..any specific changes?
(10:42:07) SorceressSwift: just that your skin's no longer glowing green. it *is* green now
(10:42:47) SorceressSwift: do you feel any more powerful?
(10:43:06) Jafar: Not too sure...
(10:43:34) SorceressSwift: Anyway, the caravan's here
(10:43:50) SorceressSwift: Get ready
(10:44:03) SorceressSwift: I'll escott you there
(10:44:16) SorceressSwift: Can't risk leaving you alone anymore
(10:45:09) ***Jafar heads to find some clothes that might be able to hide the weird skin
(10:45:54) SorceressSwift: I tell you what, I'll cast an invisibility spell on you
(10:46:02) SorceressSwift: That way, you won't attract unusual attention
(10:46:09) Jafar: Ok
(10:46:54) ***SorceressSwift casts invisibility on jafar
(10:46:55) Jafar: Thanks
(10:47:05) SorceressSwift: Don't mention it
(10:47:48) ***Jafar finishes preparing
(10:48:29) ***SorceressSwift leads jafar out to the caravan
(10:49:39) Caravan_driver [
hero6_chat_@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] entered the room.
(10:49:47) Caravan_driver: Where's the paladin?
(10:49:55) SorceressSwift: He's with me
(10:50:05) Caravan_driver: How come I don't see him?
(10:50:36) SorceressSwift: Long story. Please take my word for it. He's with me.
(10:50:47) Caravan_driver: Whatever you say.
(10:50:50) ***Caravan_driver shrugs
(10:50:53) Caravan_driver: Hop on
(10:50:58) SorceressSwift: Thanks
(10:51:29) Caravan_driver is now known as dungeon_mistress
(10:52:10) dungeon_mistress: The caravan now heads for Tarna
(10:52:20) SorceressSwift left the room (quit: Web Browser closed).
(10:52:44) SorceressSwift [
hero6_chat_@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] entered the room.
(10:52:44) mode (+d SorceressSwift,23) by everywherechat.chat.server
(10:52:44) mode (+o SorceressSwift) by everywherechat.chat.server
(10:54:17) SorceressSwift: Pity Azziza is out of town
(10:54:32) SorceressSwift: Or we could have a quicker way of getting to Tarna
(10:55:12) ***SorceressSwift sighs
(10:55:21) SorceressSwift: This was suppose to be a simple mission
(10:55:30) SorceressSwift: Just retrieve an artifact
(10:55:38) SorceressSwift: Why didn't Night tell us?
(10:55:46) SorceressSwift: He ruined everything!
(10:57:22) SorceressSwift: At first I thought that he was trying to double-cross us
(10:57:25) Jafar: (Whee! Caravan music!)
(10:57:29) jw [
java@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] entered the room.
(10:59:17) SorceressSwift: But after you told me about how he took the blow that was meant for you, I'm not so sure anymore
(11:00:07) SorceressSwift: And, he did try to help us chase him
(11:00:15) Jafar: True..
(11:00:38) SorceressSwift: I just don't get him
(11:01:10) SorceressSwift: One minute, he seems to be working with the other side, and the next, he's on our side
(11:01:22) SorceressSwift: Why's that?
(11:02:11) Jafar: Maybe he's in it for himself?
(11:03:40) SorceressSwift: could be
(11:06:57) dungeon_mistress: after many hours of travelling, the duo finally reaches tarna
(11:07:26) ***SorceressSwift gets down
(11:07:33) SorceressSwift: thanks for the ride
(11:08:08) SorceressSwift: perhaps we should get kreesha to examine you first
(11:08:19) Jafar: Good diea
(11:08:22) Jafar: *idea
(11:08:30) ***SorceressSwift leads jafar to the liontaur mage
(11:13:32) You are now known as Kreesha
(11:14:19) SorceressSwift: Greetings, Kreesha
(11:14:26) Kreesha: hello there...
(11:14:33) ***SorceressSwift dispels magic on jafar
(11:14:42) SorceressSwift: We have a problem
(11:14:54) Kreesha: what is it?
(11:15:04) SorceressSwift: Take a look
(11:15:10) SorceressSwift: He's green
(11:15:34) SorceressSwift: and he's got other strange powers which he can't control
(11:15:55) Kreesha: Yes... he certainly IS green
(11:16:27) SorceressSwift: it had something to do with the artifact the king wanted us to retrieve for him
(11:16:57) SorceressSwift: jafar, perhaps you should tell her exactly what happened
(11:20:04) ***Jafar explains what happened when the artifact was glowing and he touched it
(11:20:15) Kreesha: Interesting...
(11:20:26) Kreesha: Do you recall what he was saying?
(11:20:38) Jafar: No...
(11:20:46) Jafar: There were words on the artifact
(11:21:34) Jafar: I didn't get a chance to read them
(11:21:36) Jafar: But I saw them
(11:23:38) Polagro [
hero6_chat_@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] entered the room.
(11:23:59) Kreesha: hand me your palms
(11:24:36) ***Jafar holds out his hands
(11:25:00) Polagro left the room (quit: Polagro).
(11:25:43) Kreesha: When you touched the statue, perhaps it left some hint of the words...
(11:25:54) ***Kreesha reads Jafar's palms
(11:27:11) ***Kreesha begins muttering odd words
(11:27:59) ***Kreesha hands start to glow green, so she stops reading
(11:28:53) ***Kreesha watches her glow fade away
(11:38:25) Kreesha: I am unable to read the strange writing...
(11:39:27) ***Jafar frowns
(11:40:59) SorceressSwift: Is there anything else you could try out to shed light on this mystery?
(11:41:11) Kreesha: perhaps...
(11:41:39) ***Kreesha goes to shalf full of odd scrolls, potions, and the like
(11:47:49) ***Kreesha pulls down an odd, green, scroll
(11:47:58) ***Kreesha hands it to Swift
(11:48:11) ***SorceressSwift takes scroll
(11:48:20) SorceressSwift: What's that?
(11:48:46) ***SorceressSwift unrolls it, and reads
(11:49:06) Kreesha: It may be the answer to your dilemma...
(11:49:47) SorceressSwift: I don't quite see any connection here apart from the fact that both the scroll and Jafar are green
(11:50:03) Jafar: (Very funny...)
(11:51:46) Kreesha: It's a scroll, made out of a large leaf.
(11:51:55) Kreesha: Jafar, touch it
(11:52:19) ***SorceressSwift hands scroll to Jafar
(11:52:22) SorceressSwift: Here you go
(11:52:49) ***Jafar takes thee scroll
(11:57:32) ***Jafar 's glow gets a little brighter in reaction to the scroll
(11:58:03) SorceressSwift: Wow, you're really glowing
(11:59:40) Jafar: What did the scroll do?
(11:59:49) Jafar: I feel some sort of power...
(12:01:06) Kreesha: You feel the energy coming from the scroll...
(12:01:29) Kreesha: the same power you feel in any living part of nature...
(12:02:18) Kreesha: Now, command the scroll to take a shape
