Kate is waiting patiently for Hepheastus to do something, albeit less patiently than she was yesterday.  Libby (GM): After what seems like years of ignoring you. Hephaestus looks up from his forge, wiping sweat from his brow. "Sorry about that, had to get another set of gears made. So, wee ones, one of you is my Hero, eh?"  Beau: "I think Kate would be the one" Beau says gesturing to Kate  Kate: "Yes, Hello. I am Kate.                Sami: "Hey, don't you get burned doing all that forging naked?"          Hephaestus strides over to the table taking a seat on the stool. He laughs at Sami's question. "Well, little one, I am Hephaestus. This forge is my domain. Not a spark flies but with my consent. And are you aware of how balls hot it is in here?"                Sami: "Well I wasn't going to say anything..."                 Kate: "It is quite balls hot."                "But I think I've gotten used to it by now."                 Beau: "No I didn't realize, let me put on my bear cosplay because I am completely oblivious to how hot it is in a forge"                 Sami: "Really, Beau? Because it's pretty warm. You're totally sweating..."                Beau: "I was joking Sami"                 Sami: "Oh, that makes more sense."                 Kate: After a moment, Kate speaks up. "I have been wanting to talk to you."          Hephaestus lifts a knife longer than your house, Kate, and cuts himself a slice of bread. "All right, wee one, speak up."                 Kate: Well, as I'm sure you know, we have a bit of a problem. There is a player from another session here, one who has become very powerful from his previous playthrough. <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #005500;">Is there anything you can do to help us? <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"> Hephaestus: He raises an eyebrow. "Some other player getting into your business is your biggest concern? You don't care about anything else?" <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #005500;"> Kate: "Well, I just thought that might be the most looming issue? Is there something bigger?" <div class="message emote" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 100px; color: #008000; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 12pt;">Hephaestus chortles. "In case you haven't noticed," he gives Sami the side eye, "This world is falling apart." <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: "In our defense, this other player is kind of a jerk." <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #005500;"> Kate: "That's true. We don't know where the nests are coming from, though. We just find them and destroy them." <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"> Hephaestus: "The nests?" He scoffs, "The NESTS?" He stands, his junk inches from your face. "You think a few spiders are capable of gumming up the works of my LAND? What do you take me for, some conjurer of cheap tricks? I am Hephaestus!" <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #005500;"> Kate: "Oh... I... uh...." <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: "Then why is it falling apart?" <div class="message emote" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 100px; color: #008000; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 12pt;">Kate leans back a little. <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: "Sami don't question the giant naked denezin" <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: "Well I just meant....how do we make it NOT fall apart?" <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;">"Because that seems like it would be a good thing to do." <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #e80003;"> Libby (GM): Everyone roll athletics. <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: "The gnomes would probably appreciate it..." <div class="message rollresult" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; font-size: 15pt; color: #005500;"> Kate: rolling 4df+3 ( 0 - + 0 ) +3 = 3 <div class="message rollresult" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; font-size: 15pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: rolling 4df+1 ( - 0 - 0 ) +1 = -1 <div class="message rollresult" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; font-size: 15pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: rolling 4dF+1 ( 0 + 0 0 ) +1 = 2 <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: ((beau is the not athletic)) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;">((there must be a hidden rope near by)) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;">Just have kate quit and rejoin <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;">he'll be right next to garrick then <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;">I think Aura left <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;">brb I guess <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: I apologize, but Aura is apparantly not home atm <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #005500;"> Kate: CHANNELING IT               <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: CHANNEL 2 HARD <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: (( http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/02964.gif )) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #009600;"> Doir: :O <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: Doir hurry your purple ass up               <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #009600;"> Doir: i want giant dick in my face <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: do we all Doir.... do we all <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #009600;"> Doir: that will be my senior quote <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #009600;">"i want giant dick in my face" -doir mavico 2013 <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: Wait, why does Doir have a purple ass? <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: Dersite <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: Oh.

Kate and Sami manage to land back on their feet, but Beau lands sprawled out in the stale mashed potatoes. <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: "This mashed potatoes need more butter" <div class="message emote" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 100px; color: #008000; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 12pt;">Sami stifles a giggle and helps Beau up. <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"> Hephaestus: "Don't talk to me about those Skaia-forsaken gnomes!

"Yes, I spoke to her.

"It is foretold, in the prophecy. Do I have to read you this story book, as well?" <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: "Wow.

It depicts a younger Hephaestus, standing at a small forge encased in a sphere, with a handful of gnomes running around the outside. <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: "Oh, cool, it's a pop-up book!" <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: "I... ok" <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"> Hephaestus: "In the beginning, the gnomes and I were told, that I must craft a great Machine, and the gnomes would maintain it, until the Heroine of Time would appear." <div class="message emote" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 100px; color: #008000; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 12pt;">Sami elbows Kate.

It shows the sphere is bigger, many cogs and switches inside. And the gnomes are on the surface, looking hopeful. "For millenia, we waited, hoping she would arrive." <div class="message emote" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 100px; color: #008000; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 12pt;">Hephaestus pulls a tab, and the gnomes faces all change from hopeful smiles to angry scowls. "But she never came." <div class="message emote" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 100px; color: #008000; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 12pt;">Sami looks really sad at the angry gnome faces. <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;"> Hephaestus: ((did you turn off your cam Kate?)) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #005500;"> Kate: ((i think something happened <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #005500;">((one sec)) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: (( ...and there was much rejoicing )) <div class="message emote" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 100px; color: #008000; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 12pt;">Kate looks up at Hepheastus. <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #005500;"> Kate: "But, I'm here now?" <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: (( The quest....for water )) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;">(( Look out for Shai-Hulud )) <div class="message emote" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 100px; color: #008000; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 12pt;">Hephaestus nods. "In deed you are, but the gnomes don't want to hear that." He turns the page, to a much larger world, with gnomes laying about the surface, drinking cocktails and trying on hats and playing with toys. "The gnomes eventually gave up the wait. The Heroine was never going to come, so why would they work at maintaining this machine for her?" <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;"> Sami: (( I think I see a wall )) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;">(( Almost certain there's a wall there, actually )) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #6495ed;">(( There might also be a ceiling )) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;"> Beau: (( there's a table I think)) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #aaaaaa;">((I think it's a door in the mirror)) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #009600;"> Doir: (( people reading the logs are going to be really freakin confused )) <div class="message general" style="padding-bottom: 7px; padding-left: 50px; font-size: 12pt; color: #005500;"> Kate: "Oh...
