Session Start (AdventureQuest:#755): Sat Oct 14 11:40:06 2006

[14:05] *** Dariel has joined #755.

[14:05] ForeverEndeavor: Welcome back Dariel

[14:05] Azerkail: If anything, we've just got to wait the bloody 21 hours.

[14:05] Reven: Hello Dariel.

[14:05] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: 20

[14:06] Reven: Anything you can do to help us?

[14:06] Azerkail: Right, 20.

[14:06] Dariel: Hello Reven

[14:06] Dariel: That depends largely on what it is you desire help with

[14:06] ForeverEndeavor: We desire help with the puzzle that was presented to us in Lies' post.

[14:07] Reven: Yes.

[14:07] Lkeas: [scrambled]: yes, please limit the philosophy today, we're on a mission :)

[14:07] Reven: We are trying to decypher it.

[14:07] Azerkail: Let's cut down on dramatic banter for a moment.

[14:07] Rimblade: Unless you'd like to wax philosophical about the nature of the multiverse again....

[14:07] Dariel: Philosophy Lkeas shouls never be limited....

[14:07] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: Yeah we must save the world for the...ummm I stopped counting

[14:08] Dariel: Philosophy is the root of all inquiry

[14:08] * Lkeas: [scrambled] sighs

[14:08] Azerkail: So was science.

[14:08] * Azerkail broke his own rule.

[14:08] Dariel: Philosophy Azerkail is the origin of science

[14:08] Dariel: Before philosophy there was no science at all

[14:08] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: Can we return ro our jobs

[14:08] ForeverEndeavor: So what can aid us in the puzzle that we've been slaving over?

[14:09] Azerkail: A codebreaker, a miracle, a North Korean nuke?

[14:09] Rimblade: But philosophy is the direct result of civilization and culture- so it's not the root of things, such as say... survival, and the like.

[14:09] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: Little green men?

[14:10] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: Ooook

[14:11] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: The cave men didn't know about phliospy but they had technology to sharpen stones..

[14:11] ForeverEndeavor: Okay... So what can help us with the puzzle?

[14:11] Rimblade: Err... no, even that was based on philosophy. I'm talking BREATHING. And... um... dancing.

[14:11] Reven: <Azerkail> A codebreaker, a miracle, a North Korean nuke?

[14:11] Reven: That would work

[14:11] Leo: Dariel, I require you assistance solving this (Link: would you care to help us?

[14:11] Leo: Your*

[14:12] Reven: I know, let's pool our money and hire a cryptologist.

[14:12] Rimblade: Wait, how would a nuke help us?

[14:12] Lkeas: [scrambled]: thanks leo

[14:12] ForeverEndeavor: Yes, thanks.

[14:12] Reven: Or seek one out, laugh at them, and then tell them they are no good... UNLESS they solve this.

[14:12] Reven: We'd have the answer in 5 minutes

[14:12] Rimblade: That's a great idea indeed!

[14:13] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: lets wait then

[14:13] ForeverEndeavor: Dariel. Please, can you help us with this puzzle: (Link:

[14:13] Rimblade: I had thought that's what we were doing...

[14:13] ForeverEndeavor: If you will.

[14:14] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: got yo sleep

[14:14] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: cya 9 hours later..

[14:15] ForeverEndeavor: Lol it's 4 here

[14:15] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: and its 00:00 here

[14:15] lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo]: cya!

[14:15] Lkeas: [scrambled]: bye lbl

[14:15] ForeverEndeavor: Crazy

[14:15] ForeverEndeavor: Night

[14:15] Blaster: [Unfound]: bb

[14:15] *** lightbringerlord: [scrambledtoo] has signed off IRC (Vanished: ).

[14:15] Leo: Allow me to ask a more specific question, Dariel. Is it a list of avatars?

[14:16] ForeverEndeavor: Good question Leo

[14:17] Azerkail: For your entertainment:

[14:17] Azerkail: (Link: http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?month=10&day=15&year=2006&hour=11&min=38&sec=17&p0=137)http://www.timeanddate.com/counters/customcounter.html?month=10&day=15&year=2006&hour=11&min=38&sec=17&p0=137

[14:18] Azerkail: A more accurate countdown to the fall of Hope. =P

[14:18] Reven: You see this proves my point

[14:18] Rimblade: Which point?

[14:18] Reven: It is MUCH easier to bring Chaos to Order by hiding a message... than to bring Order to Chaos and resolve it.

[14:18] Dariel: You presume much and I can offer little except I now understand the interest of the Avatar quite clearly.....

[14:18] Reven: What is their interest?

[14:18] Dariel: Freedom

[14:19] Reven: The Avatar seek freedom? From the network?

[14:19] Azerkail: Said Locke when someone asked what was in the Hatch, "Hope."

[14:19] Dariel: Indeed

[14:19] *** Dariel has left #755.

[14:22] *** Dariel has joined #755.

[14:22] Reven: Nevermind

[14:22] Reven: You return, Dariel?

[14:22] Azerkail: Said the watcher to the keeper.

[14:22] Leo: Weclome back, Dariel.

[14:22] Leo: Welcome*

[14:22] Rimblade: Err... Azerkail, Dariel is the watcher.

[14:23] Dariel: I do... I had to adjust my position

[14:23] *** Dariel is watchingyo@BF65FEAC.37736AF1.6EB53DE7.IP (Watcher)

[14:23] *** Dariel is on: #755

[14:23] *** Dariel is using Immertot.Caelestia.net Even the trees and microbes are undead here

[14:23] *** End of /WHOIS.

[14:23] Reven: Position?

[14:24] Azerkail: Said the keeper to the watcher.

[14:24] Reven: I am a keeper, now?

[14:24] Reven: A keeper of what, precisely?

[14:25] Azerkail: Faith =

[14:25] Azerkail: =P

[14:26] Azerkail: Sorry, just being random.

[14:26] Reven: Let us speak while we can.

[14:26] Rimblade: Faith = Trust = Meh.03

[14:26] Reven: Whom art you, Dariel?

[14:26] Reven: Where are you from and where do you wish to be?

[14:26] Reven: What are your goals and what is your past?

[14:26] Reven: Answer any and all, in your own time.

[14:27] Rimblade: Thinkest thou that archeic speech will accomplish that which words unadorned did not, therefore?

[14:27] Azerkail: Speak English, this is the Internets after all.

[14:28] Dariel: I am Dariel the high priest of the church of Analla at Fair Harbour and the High Archbishop of the faith...

[14:28] Reven: I see.

[14:29] Azerkail: Whereabouts is Fair Harbor or Fair Harbour?

[14:29] Dariel: Though this question I already answered yesterday... oh ye scion of chance

[14:29] Rimblade: Scion of chance? You think you know the roles of people then?

[14:30] Dariel: Fair Harbor Azerkail is on the Far Eastern Coast of he greater continent Celestiae Major

[14:31] Reven: You are Caelestian, then?

[14:31] Dariel: Across the Deep Sea from the Royal seat of Valoria in Mithius

[14:31] Reven: How interesting.

[14:31] ForeverEndeavor: Do you have nothing to say of the puzzle, Dariel?

[14:31] Reven: How do you know of these events?

[14:31] Dariel: All creation has interest in these events

[14:31] Reven: Heh, I can understand.

[14:32] Azerkail: What's going to happen in 21 hours?

[14:32] Reven: What do you watch?

[14:32] Dariel: You presume much and I can offer little

[14:32] Reven: The events here?

[14:32] Rimblade: Well then, what do you offer?

[14:33] Dariel: And as for me being a Caelestian is that particularly suprising given the nexus you have chosen to stage this discussion

[14:33] Reven: No, it isn't.

[14:34] Rimblade: Weeelll... dispite our locale, we don't get many Caelestians in converse here.

[14:34] *** ForeverEndeavor has signed off IRC (Distracted: AQStats Web Client).

[14:34] Azerkail: In fact, he's the first.

[14:34] Azerkail: Or maybe the last.

[14:34] Reven: I dunno about that... I have been to Caelestia before

[14:34] Reven: But it was a brief visit

[14:34] Reven: Didn't get to see much, they didn't want me there

[14:35] Reven: What do you watch, anyway, Dariel?

[14:35] Rimblade: Bah. That shouldn't stop you- no one ever wants ME about, but I stick around regardless ;)

[14:35] Dariel: Given your LoreMaster is a Caelestian..... I find that assertion suspect

[14:35] Reven: I thought he was from Farpoint?

[14:35] Azerkail: Caelestia happens to be the name of some of these IRC servers, lol.

[14:36] Dariel: The duplicitous god of confusion is Caelestian... Farpoint is a station, an office a time period, but it is a station office and timeperiod in caelestian history

[14:36] Azerkail: Station office or Station; office?

[14:36] Reven: I do not understand.

[14:36] Reven: Hehe.

[14:37] Azerkail: Farpoint is a station in time? Beyond the laws of physics and the flow of the time-space continuum?

[14:37] Dariel: Within the priest hood of worlds like caelestia there are generally 4 classifications of deity

[14:37] Dariel: Demipower

[14:37] Dariel: Lesser Power

[14:37] Dariel: Intermediate Power

[14:37] Dariel: Greater Power

[14:37] Azerkail: and Azerkail. =P

[14:37] Dariel: these are generally then designated by the type of plain they originate from

[14:38] Azerkail: Plane you mean, Dariel?

[14:38] Rimblade: Of plane? In what way does that work?

[14:38] Azerkail: Or do they appear on plains, like the midwestern US? =P

[14:38] Dariel: Gods that originate from within a prime material world (i.e. a normal world) are refered to as "powers of the prime material plane"

[14:38] Dariel: Caelestia is a prime material plane... likewise Toril, Athas, Krynn, Oerth, Earth, LORE

[14:39] * Lkeas: [scrambled] is trying to unscramble

[14:39] Dariel: However the farpoint deities have a very specific and expanded base of power

[14:39] Dariel: And thus they are not labeled Greater Powers of the Prime Material Plane

[14:39] Rimblade: Really? What about the powers which have no origin within the worlds they represent, or any material or immaterial planes?

[14:40] Dariel: They are instead labeled Greater Powers of Caelestia

[14:40] Dariel: The Seat of the Authority of those Deities is the plane Caelestia

[14:40] Dariel: And on that plane the Farpoint deities have even more power then Greater Powers

[14:40] Azerkail: The Authority being...

[14:40] Dariel: Those gods Rimblade are refered to by where they originate

[14:41] Dariel: or where they reside

[14:41] Reven: Hmm.

[14:41] Lkeas: [scrambled]: i'd like to find the Greater Power of Caelestia known as Falerin to come in here and confirm some of this before i start believeing you.

[14:41] Dariel: A god whose home is the plane of Elemental Fire...,

[14:41] Reven: Then what... this is something I've heard said once...

[14:41] Dariel: Is refered to as a Greater Power of the Plane of Elemental Fire

[14:41] Reven: Is the Farpoint Directive?

[14:41] Dariel: That is a command...

[14:41] Lkeas: [scrambled]: by?

[14:41] Dariel: A stricture within the church.. established by the farpoint deities over the farpoint era....

[14:42] Lkeas: [scrambled]: who are the farpoint deities?

[14:42] Dariel: It demands Noninterference by extraplanar powers of any sort even mortals

[14:42] Dariel: Extra Planar preists and Magi are granted some leeway as are those with no particular talent

[14:42] Reven: I see.

[14:42] Rimblade: Okay then, what would you call Lord Ao then?

[14:42] Dariel: unless they are considered a threat to Caelestia

[14:42] Reven: And Falerin?

[14:43] Reven: Is he a Magi or Priest, or simply outside their control?

[14:43] Dariel: in which case they are removed

[14:43] Dariel: Falerin is one of the Farpoint Deities Reven....

[14:43] Lkeas: [scrambled]: hmm.

[14:43] Dariel: Therefore he makes the rules

[14:43] Dariel: and he breaks them

[14:43] Reven: Ah...

[14:43] Reven: And the other deities do not react to this?

[14:43] Azerkail: Solely because he can or does he have an agenda?

[14:44] Reven: Although...

[14:44] Dariel: Aside from that the farpoint is concerened with noninterference in the plane of caelestia

[14:44] Dariel: It does not apply in inverse at all

[14:44] Reven: So they do not care about intereference in other worlds?

[14:44] Dariel: So no... they hardly care

[14:44] Reven: I see... except Falerin... in at least one case, heh.

[14:44] Rimblade: That's a motive I can trust.

[14:44] Reven: Falerin's motive...

[14:44] Lkeas: [scrambled]: this is all well and good but could we perhaps get back to the task at hand?

[14:44] *** LordBarrius has joined #755.

[14:45] Azerkail: You are a watcher, Dariel?

[14:45] Lkeas: [scrambled]: i tried organizing the image a bit

[14:45] Lkeas: [scrambled]: (Link:

[14:45] Reven: Is to protect Caelestia.

[14:45] Dariel: Their interest is the stability of Caelestia... it is not a noble "let things develop naturally" edict but rather a reaction against the chronomancers and extraplanar magi who so disrupted Caelestia in the past eras

[14:45] Reven: I see.

[14:45] Lkeas: [scrambled]: instead of organizing by assumed letters i organized by shape

[14:45] Blaster: [Unfound]: nice one Lkeas

[14:45] Lkeas: [scrambled]: make of it what you will.

[14:45] Azerkail: Gah.

[14:45] *** Suikoman444 is now known as Suik|Away.

[14:46] Azerkail: Can't concentrate, too much multitasking.

[14:46] Reven: Without, I assume, changing the orientation?

[14:46] Azerkail: I'll be back later if I have any more revalations.

[14:46] Rimblade: Awww... drat. Extraplanography and chronomancy are so fun though...

[14:46] Lkeas: [scrambled]: actually, i think i have made a mistake

[14:46] Lkeas: [scrambled]: one of the "e" shapes seems to be an "s"

[14:46] Lkeas: [scrambled]: but who knows

[14:46] Lkeas: [scrambled]: maybe i should lump them all together

[14:46] Dariel: I can see Falerin's name in that image

[14:46] Azerkail: Keep all three eyes open believers, 18 hours until the fall of Hope.

[14:46] Lkeas: [scrambled]: Falerin is NOT an avatar thank you Dariel

[14:46] Reven: You do?

[14:46] Reven: Lkeas, Dariel knows things

[14:46] *** Azerkail is now known as Azerkail|NOVA.

[14:46] Reven: If he says that

[14:46] Reven: And it is relevant

[14:46] *** Azerkail|NOVA is now known as Azerkail|NOVAFK.

[14:46] Lkeas: [scrambled]: then Dariel should know that about Falerin already

[14:47] Reven: We have been going along the WRONG theory

[14:47] Dariel: You are solving the puzzle based on a presuposiion?

[14:47] Reven: There are an infinite number of possibilities

[14:47] Reven: One must make a guess

[14:47] Reven: Test it

[14:47] Reven: And then make another

[14:47] Lkeas: [scrambled]: we have to suppose something...

[14:47] Dariel: You have determined not from actual words but based on your belief that it is a list of the Avatar....

[14:47] Reven: But we have insufficient time

[14:47] Dariel: It may well be... but if it is or is not... Falerin's name can clearly be discerned

[14:47] Dariel: it is perhaps the only very obvious name in the list

[14:48] Dariel: given the phonetic groupings that appear

[14:48] Reven: It is a list of names though...

[14:48] Lkeas: [scrambled]: The fall of Hope concerns all worlds. This puzzle given to you will help you in saving Hope, then again why find the missing when the found is already lost.

[14:48] *** Azerkail|NOVAFK has signed off IRC (Drowned: Captured by NOVA Supervisors.).

[14:48] Rimblade: Hope? Bah and petoodles, Lkeas, you have a bit of a Hope obession.

[14:48] Dariel: Let us also assume for a moment that Galrick of Glenn is truthful

[14:49] Lkeas: [scrambled]: it was not me who said it rimblade

[14:49] Lkeas: [scrambled]: it was maxwell

[14:49] Reven: That is the Seeker, correct?

[14:49] Lkeas: [scrambled]: he just posted a few minutes ago

[14:49] Dariel: Then Edward who is Clearly an Avatar from exising things

[14:49] Reven: Which is strange...

[14:49] Reven: Because taking Falerin as the Traveller...

[14:49] Dariel: is known to be Vampire Hunter E

[14:50] Dariel: And none of those letters remotely form that name

[14:50] Reven: You think we should look at the arrangement of them?

[14:50] Reven: That is useful information indeed

[14:50] Dariel: In fact by simple logic.. there are insufficent vowels in that list

[14:50] Dariel: So this cannot be a simple scramble

[14:50] Rimblade: So, perhaps the names given won't be the ones we recognize?

[14:50] Blaster: [Unfound]: 18 hrs left ?!

[14:50] Reven: He has copied Falerin's original description of himself... the Seeker, that is.

[14:50] Lkeas: [scrambled]: insufficient vowels? i count at least 17

[14:51] Dariel: Diversity

[14:51] Dariel: A principle of language expects a certain vowel distribution Lkeas

[14:51] Dariel: especially given names

[14:51] Reven: They are all the same vowels...

[14:51] Reven: So, we must seek names... but by ARRANGEMENT.

[14:51] Reven: Perhaps.

[14:51] Dariel: i e and a should be equally represented. O and U somewhat less but still represented

[14:52] Lkeas: [scrambled]: i see several shapes that could represent either a u or an n

[14:52] Lkeas: [scrambled]: there are several shapes that could represent either e or a

[14:53] Dariel: or neither.. they could be non english letters like a,æ,a

[14:53] Lkeas: [scrambled]: they would not give us an impossible puzzle using symbols such as that

[14:53] Lkeas: [scrambled]: we are meant to figure it out somehow

[14:53] Reven: Only the middle showed up as non-english.

[14:53] Reven: Hmm.

[14:54] Reven: So, the problem is that we are looking at this in content... not by arrangement.

[14:54] Dariel: that is the fault of your font rendering them

[14:54] Reven: Most likely.

[14:55] Dariel: And at such an inoppertune your resident scholar chooses to absent himself from these proceedings

[14:55] *** Rimblade has signed off IRC (NickServ (GHOST command used by Rimblade812)).

[14:55] Lkeas: [scrambled]: how observant of you.

[14:55] *** Rimblade has joined #755.

[14:55] Dariel: Indeed he has not be present since friday noon

[14:55] Lkeas: [scrambled]: why don't you try helping us solve it rather than telling us how wrong we are

[14:55] Rimblade: Who hasn't been present?

[14:56] Reven: Marrin.

[14:56] Dariel: Perhaps you should consider the fact Lkeas that that is precisely what I am doing and trying to do

[14:56] Lkeas: [scrambled]: well, what do you make of it then?

[14:56] Reven: And are doing.

[14:56] Lkeas: [scrambled]: you say it has something to do with falerin?

[14:56] Reven: They are giving us exactly what we need.

[14:56] Reven: So we need to look at this stuff by arrangement.

[14:56] Dariel: I did not say anything of the sort... I said that I see the name falerin in that list

[14:56] Dariel: visibly

[14:56] Dariel: But then perhaps I am conditioned to see that naem

[14:56] Dariel: er name

[14:57] Reven: Hmm.

[14:57] Reven: I can make it out of the letters everywhere, but not anything else.

[14:58] Reven: I mean, I can't find it remotely together.

[14:58] Dariel: ?

[14:58] Dariel: Have you also considered the possibility of the premise of completion being employed

[14:58] Dariel: consider the following

[14:59] Dariel: flrn

[14:59] Reven: I see.

[14:59] Rimblade: Well, that makes sense.

[15:00] Reven: tre

[15:00] Reven: flrn = Falerin

[15:00] Reven: tre = ?

[15:01] *** Rimblade is now known as Rim-devouringall.

[15:01] Lkeas: [scrambled]: flrn? funny, that looked like an i to me, instead of an l

[15:01] Reven: So in short

[15:01] Reven: We've gotten nowhere

[15:01] Reven: Guessed wrong

[15:02] Reven: And now are looking at trying to expand names from short to long form

[15:02] Reven: s

[15:02] Reven: While trying to read them from the lowest resolution image known throughout the multiverse

[15:02] Reven: Heh

[15:02] Dariel: The Dolphins are also clearly relevant and beyond the obvious earth reference to Douglas Adams

[15:05] Reven: Hmm

[15:05] Reven: Anyone... else want to say anything to this?

[15:05] Reven: Any ideas?

[15:05] Reven: Bringing Order to Chaos is NOT my speciality

[15:05] Lkeas: [scrambled]: heh.

[15:06] *** ForeverEndeavor has joined #755.

[15:06] Reven: ((OOC... I'm a logical thinker and crap at stuff requiring making mental links... it just doesn't work with the way I think))

[15:06] Dariel: Of course the most obvious solution is that it is in fact a scramble but not of a list

[15:06] Dariel: but of a sentence

[15:06] Blaster: [Unfound]: hm...

[15:06] Lkeas: [scrambled]: yes, we had thought of that...

[15:07] Lkeas: [scrambled]: but how difficult would it be to unscramble a sentence?

[15:07] Reven: We considered that, I asked someone to do something trying to work on it...

[15:07] Reven: But they kinda gave up on it... but now we know it should be our focus

[15:07] Reven: It will be

[15:07] Dariel: the word network can be peiced from those letters

[15:07] Reven: Anything can

[15:08] Dariel: Perhaps what you need to do is to find something that produces a list of all possible words from a series of letters

[15:08] Reven: I distinctly see the word

[15:08] Reven: Tread

[15:08] Dariel: and then create sentences from those words

[15:08] Reven: Hmmm

[15:08] Reven: An interesting thought and something I can do

[15:08] Dariel: A scrabble solver might be quite helpful here

[15:09] Leo: ((OOC: You could of given us a higher resolution image))

[15:09] Lkeas: [scrambled]: ((OOC: who are you talking to?))

[15:09] Leo: ((OOC: Myself, who else?))

[15:09] Lkeas: [scrambled]: lol

[15:09] Dariel: http://dictionary.amcd.co.uk/scrabble.php

[15:10] Dariel: I have nothing to do with the image.... so I cannot comment in regard to that at all

[15:12] Dariel: Unfortunately assuming lkeas original posting of the list is close if not right

[15:12] Dariel: There are 30000+ possibilities for words... though you can throw out really long ones as presumably sentences exist

[15:12] Lkeas: [scrambled]: that is a problem... yeah...

[15:14] *** Blaster: [Unfound] is now known as Blaster: [Scrabbled].

[15:14] Reven: Well that will take some time

[15:14] Dariel: Robin is in that list

[15:14] Dariel: as is dead

[15:14] Reven: We can work with them... then remove them

[15:15] Dariel: hmm

[15:15] Dariel: Robinia

[15:15] Dariel: Safiria

[15:15] Dariel: Edward

[15:15] Dariel: all there

[15:15] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: 17 hrs left

[15:16] Dariel: Yes and hope is gone... but for who pray

[15:16] Dariel: There is no reasonable way that the Devourer can effect the end of LORE in that period

[15:16] Dariel: you do know that don

[15:16] Dariel: 't you

[15:17] Lkeas: [scrambled]: we don't know anything.

[15:17] Dariel: Then take my word for it....

[15:17] Dariel: The Devourer is a not a fast acting being

[15:17] Lkeas: [scrambled]: why?

[15:17] Dariel: He revels in what he does

[15:17] Dariel: Delights in it

[15:17] Lkeas: [scrambled]: oh he seemed quite quick when he sent the brilhado to follow Darin back to K'eld Ner

[15:18] Dariel: That is because he wanted the Location of K'eld Ner

[15:18] Dariel: But he is a Cat

[15:18] Dariel: and LORE is his mouse

[15:18] Lkeas: [scrambled]: but yes, i also believe that the end of LORE is not quite in 17 hours

[15:18] Lkeas: [scrambled]: however if we do not solve the puzzle we are going to be missing something crucial

[15:19] Dariel: The ones whos interest is most vested in you solving this riddle

[15:19] Dariel: are the very ones giving it to you

[15:19] Dariel: You are being manipulated by powers beyond you into playing their games

[15:19] Dariel: Welcome to my world....,

[15:20] Lkeas: [scrambled]: um... i somehow doubt the cor dem are a significant 'power'

[15:20] Dariel: Your doubt is misplaced

[15:20] Reven: I do not doubt it...

[15:20] Dariel: From what I gather the Cor Dem make up a substantive part of the devourers network

[15:21] Dariel: Perhaps tho.... others are more useful then I.... and I am just a hinderance...

[15:21] Reven: The network is a tool of the Devourer/

[15:21] Reven: ?

[15:21] Dariel: So perhaps I should just return to watching.....

[15:21] Reven: You are helping.

[15:21] Lkeas: [scrambled]: the network is headed by "Omega"

[15:22] Lkeas: [scrambled]: which some have supposed to be the Devourer

[15:22] Reven: We are just.. well, a REALLY bad group.

[15:22] Dariel: And?

[15:22] Dariel: Omega need not be the Devourer for Sigma to apply

[15:22] Dariel: He need only be his agent himself

[15:22] *** Mephistos has signed off IRC (Connection reset by peer).

[15:22] Lkeas: [scrambled]: hmm.

[15:22] *** Mephistos has joined #755.

[15:23] Dariel: And we know this saga involves the Devourer yes?

[15:23] Reven: Definitely.

[15:23] Dariel: So why would we suppose indeed that Omega is NOT his agent

[15:24] Dariel: I have the power to summon one who may be able to help you more by force...

[15:24] Dariel: He may however not appreciate the intrusion

[15:24] Lkeas: [scrambled]: who would that be?

[15:24] Reven: Do it...

[15:24] Reven: It will at least be... interesting...

[15:24] Reven: Assuming they don't strike me dead...

[15:25] *** Rim-devouringall is now known as Rimblade.

[15:25] Dariel: Very well then....

[15:25] * Dariel bows his head in prayer and mutters something

[15:25] Rimblade: Oh dear.... this looks more like an invocation....

[15:25] * Dariel looks glassy eyed and then frowns......

[15:26] Dariel: "You have got to be kidding me Dariel.... you are not even my cleric what makes you think you have the authority to commune with me...."

[15:26] Dariel: "A gift you gave me long ago makes me think it....."

[15:26] * Dariel looks at Reven....

[15:26] Reven: Yes?

[15:26] Reven: Am I addressing Dariel's informant?

[15:27] Dariel: "You dabble in probabilities yes....? and no I am Dariel still"

[15:27] Reven: I see.

[15:27] Reven: I dabble in causing them...

[15:27] Reven: But never understanding.

[15:28] Dariel: If you have some idea that you can influence probabilities... I suggest you give it your damnedest now

[15:28] Dariel: We need a ten....

[15:28] Dariel: And we need it within 5 rolls

[15:28] Reven: ((#roll 10d1?))

[15:28] Lkeas: [scrambled]: heh.

[15:29] * Dariel hands Reven a 20 sided die... lets just see how much influence you have.... I recon your int is about maxed

[15:29] Reven: Hmm...

[15:29] Dariel: So roll under an 18

[15:29] Reven: #roll 1d20

[15:29] RPGServ: <Roll for Reven : [1d20]: 6>

[15:29] Dariel: WOW

[15:29] Reven: That's under an 18...

[15:29] Lkeas: [scrambled]: ...

[15:29] Lkeas: [scrambled]: what are we doing??

[15:29] Dariel: #calc 18-6

[15:29] RPGServ: <Calculation for Dariel : [18-6]=12>

[15:29] Rimblade: Shh!

[15:30] * Lkeas: [scrambled] shrugs and watches the proceedings

[15:30] * Dariel produces an ornate black tensided gemstone that looks very very familiar somehow.... very much like a smaller version of one seen inset in a certain staff

[15:30] Reven: I think... I've seen something like that...

[15:30] Dariel: #roll 1d10+12 I believe that would be a ten or higher.. you are required to comply

[15:30] RPGServ: <Roll for Dariel : [1d10+12]: 15> I believe that would be a ten or higher.. you are required to comply

[15:31] Reven: I'd say that matches...

[15:31] Reven: I have no idea what I just did but that is the same with most things I do.

[15:31] Reven: Hehe.

[15:31] Rimblade: That looks like Fal's staff, doesn't it though?

[15:31] >Ambiance<: The die grows by 2000 fold

[15:31] Reven: But that gem... I do recognise it...

[15:31] Lkeas: [scrambled]: ...

[15:31] Reven: And more so now.

[15:31] Leo: ...

[15:32] Rimblade: MMmm.... I have no idea what is occuring. That is very, very troublesome. What were the stakes of this game?

[15:32] Reven: I believe Dariel's informant... may be our own dear Falerin...

[15:32] * Falerin steps out of the die.... "this had better be good priest"

[15:32] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: This should be intresting

[15:32] Reven: Ah, Falerin...

[15:33] Reven: We require your aid, oh god of darkest evil.

[15:33] Rimblade: .... That was all an invocation?

[15:33] * Falerin looks arround at the assembled....

[15:33] Reven: Yes...

[15:33] Reven: In short... we are all really crap at this puzzle...

[15:33] Reven: And were wondering if you knew the answer.

[15:33] Lkeas: [scrambled]: we are a bit stumped... yes...

[15:33] * Falerin looks at Dariel. "I am on vaction from this... I gave the forum head my notice... I was even now sitting in front of a campfire in Rural Penns Woods"

[15:34] Reven: How nice.

[15:34] * Dariel points at Dariel

[15:34] Reven: We will try to make sure you can get back soon...

[15:34] Dariel: "What are you doing Falerin!?"

[15:34] Dariel: "I abjure myself back from whence I came!"

[15:35] * Dariel vanishes

[15:35] *** Dariel has left #755.

[15:35] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: ...

[15:35] *** Falerin has joined #755.

[15:35] Lkeas: [scrambled]: i am SO confused.

[15:35] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: Hello Falerin

[15:35] * Leo nods in agreement with Lkeas.

[15:35] Leo: Greetings, Falerin.

[15:35] Lkeas: [scrambled]: good afternoon, LoreMaster

[15:35] Falerin: That priest is lucky he has the influence he does in Analla

[15:35] * Rimblade hums, eyes confused

[15:35] Lkeas: [scrambled]: apparently!

[15:36] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: Mind explaining what had happened?

[15:36] Falerin: 's church... and that we do have past relations

[15:36] Falerin: Or I would vaporize him now for pulling me away from my vacation

[15:36] Lkeas: [scrambled]: we didn't mean to disturb you... we had supposed you had left us on our own for a reason...

[15:37] Reven: A nice vacation?

[15:37] Reven: Well, delibrately forget the stuff you knew about solved codes, and look at this, and it can be something to get your brain running.

[15:37] Falerin: I am not incidentally kidding even now my greater form sits viewing this on a window in the middle of the woods.... with a campfire behind and the sun setting afront

[15:37] Reven: Ah.

[15:37] Reven: Well, sounds dull.

[15:37] Lkeas: [scrambled]: sounds beautiful

[15:38] Reven: Too tranquil.

[15:38] Rimblade: I HAD wondered how you were connecting while camping :P

[15:38] Rimblade: So, in any case... what did we want help for again?

[15:38] Lkeas: [scrambled]: at any rate... we've been trying to unscramble Lies' cryptic message for hours

[15:38] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: Even Maxwell refused to help us

[15:38] Falerin: Lies undoubtedly is pleased

[15:38] Lkeas: [scrambled]: and we have not seemed to have made any headway

[15:38] Reven: We are wondering if you can solve this puzzle for us.

[15:38] Falerin: and he would...

[15:39] Falerin: and I fear...

[15:39] Reven: Because we are no good at this.

[15:39] Falerin: That you will not like my response either

[15:39] Reven: Aw.

[15:39] Rimblade: We will bear it.

[15:39] Lkeas: [scrambled]: Reven you should know better. he never just "solves" things for us

[15:39] *** Monkish has joined #755.

[15:39] Reven: You are having too much fun watching us struggle?

[15:39] Reven: I can sympathise.

[15:39] Reven: That would be MY kind of a holiday.

[15:39] Falerin: Not at all

[15:40] Falerin: I am not amused by this or unamused.. I simply am

[15:40] Rimblade: Appearently it IS Maxwell's though- (Link: http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=6724661)http://forums2.battleon.com/f/fb.asp?m=6724661

[15:40] Lkeas: [scrambled]: we can't even discern what some of the letters are, whether they're two letters smushed together, or backwards or upside down

[15:40] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: Maxwell is now called puppet master

[15:41] Rimblade: Well Fal? Wether or not we like your response, I would perfer to have it. Will you give it?

[15:41] Falerin: Hope lies within... the key lies within...

[15:42] Rimblade: Within the same as Hope?

[15:42] Lkeas: [scrambled]: ...

[15:42] Falerin: Someone once asked me something....

[15:43] Reven: What was it, then?

[15:43] Falerin: They once asked me.. if a a faceless could split itself up among several host.... I said at the time that it is possible.... but I see little benefit in it

[15:43] Falerin: I wish to revise my statement

[15:43] Falerin: I see one benefit in it...

[15:43] Lkeas: [scrambled]: hmm.

[15:43] Falerin: The Faceless wishes to reduce their energy to a point that they hide

[15:44] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: and impossible to detect ?

[15:44] Rimblade: Well, that's clear enough.

[15:44] Falerin: The Avatar(s) then would not be trully controlled.. but they would be manipulated... influenced... as a group

[15:44] Reven: I see.

[15:44] Reven: So you could not control... but could influence a whole group...

[15:44] Reven: Which... means... ziltch crapola to me.

[15:45] Reven: Lkeas... do YOU have any ideas now?

[15:45] Falerin: I mean an faceless could for instance visit a planet when it is young and has little to no population

[15:45] Rimblade: Bah. I think it means a little more than that, Reven- and it fits EXACTLY with what the Messanger says.

[15:45] Falerin: and spread itself to the whole population

[15:45] * Lkeas: [scrambled] is listening

[15:45] Falerin: and spread itself out over succeeding generations

[15:45] Reven: The Cor-Demi...

[15:45] Rimblade: And when did it do that?

[15:45] Reven: This is insightful

[15:45] Lkeas: [scrambled]: or us. Hope lays within all of us

[15:45] Reven: Or...

[15:45] Reven: That.

[15:46] Rimblade: :D

[15:46] Falerin: And ultimately... said faceless might... lay within.. all beings in that population

[15:46] Falerin: Now I repeat....

[15:46] Falerin: Hope Lays Within

[15:46] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: I get it now

[15:46] Reven: We know where hope is

[15:46] Lkeas: [scrambled]: but would that help us solve the puzzle?

[15:46] *** Ralfy has joined #755.

[15:46] Lkeas: [scrambled]: knowing that we are being influenced?

[15:46] Ralfy: #nautic testing

[15:46] Ralfy: ...

[15:46] Rimblade: See then? And beyond that, we know what Nova is.

[15:46] Ralfy: #nautica testing

[15:46] Ralfy: wtf?

[15:46] Reven: I don't

[15:47] Rimblade: Okay, then we can SURMISE, not know...

[15:47] Reven: I don't have a clue if it relies on more information from the forums or even IRC that is not my speciality but at least I now know what Hope is

[15:47] Ralfy: hmmm

[15:48] Falerin: I do not know for sure you do grasp this

[15:48] Rimblade: Neither do we, obviously.

[15:48] Falerin: Hope did not visit LORE in the past.....

[15:49] *** Ralfy has left #755.

[15:49] Reven: So in short we ALMOST had it

[15:49] Reven: Perhaps...

[15:49] Falerin: Hope visited Terra

[15:49] Reven: It is Ter- yes

[15:49] Lkeas: [scrambled]: right

[15:49] Rimblade: Hehe.

[15:50] Falerin: So allow me to tear this fourth wall away....

[15:50] Falerin: Hope lays not within the Character

[15:50] Falerin: Hope lays within the Player

[15:51] Lkeas: [scrambled]: the players who are trying to solve this puzzle :P ((sorry still frustrated by that))

[15:51] Reven: Focus on this for now

[15:51] Lkeas: [scrambled]: so when Truth says the Avatar must awaken, is he referring to us? or the faceless leaders? or the NPCs in-game? or all of the above?

[15:51] Reven: We are avatars

[15:52] Rimblade: Here's an odd thing then- when the Messenger spoke to Lkeas, he told us that Truth was affiliated with Terra, which Falerin has said is our earth specifically- but Truth appears to be manifest in Lore. I also seem to be missing the connection.

[15:52] Reven: The Avatar are a completely different matter

[15:52] Reven: Be sure of what you refer to

[15:52] Lkeas: [scrambled]: yes, there's that too Rimblade, that is confusing

[15:52] Rimblade: Well, no one has ever learned anything by being Sure.

[15:53] Lkeas: [scrambled]: maxwell's avatar... interesting.

[15:54] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: He's changed...

[15:54] Rimblade: And so we glance behind the hood :)

[15:54] Blaster: [Scrabbled]: looks like a hooded reptile don't you think?

[15:55] Mephistos: Hm, I believe I've seen that before....it's a redition of an Anunnaki.

[15:55] Mephistos: rendition*

[15:55] * Leo is stunned by the recent news.

[15:55] * Rimblade is less stunned, but quite amused, and laughing hard now.

[15:55] Rimblade: I don't know why this is so funny... but it is!

[15:57] * Reven shoots Rimblade a look of malice and makes notes.

[15:57] Leo: No matter, back to our goal.

[15:57] Lkeas: [scrambled]: i'm still unsure about Truth's message... and Falerin's for that matter... and what we are meant to do...

[15:58] Rimblade: Our goal? Our goal!? HAH! Do we even have a stated goal, Leo?

[15:58] Leo: I thought it was helping or saving people.

[15:58] Leo: ((Fictional or not))

[15:58] Rimblade: Okay, and we do this...?

[15:58] Leo: By solving the puzzle...

[15:59] Falerin: All Faceless are affiliated with the other faceless by virtue of being the same race

[15:59] *** Monkish has signed off IRC (Distracted: AQStats Web Client).

[15:59] Falerin: All of "The Avatar" are affiliated by virtue of being the Avatar

[16:00] Rimblade: And here the Babylonions thought them gods.... of course... er... I suppose no one ever really set a definition on 'godhood' :P

[16:00] Lkeas: [scrambled]: so wait... we are somehow affiliated with the likes of Edward and the other NPC Avatars? or did you mean the other definition?

[16:43] Falerin: <Rimblade> Meh. Can there be more than one of these faceless thingies in a single avatar, do you suppose?

[16:43] Azerkail: In the situation that I may or may not be with NOVA.

[16:44] Falerin: All given evidence suggests against this.. however there is a theory that all things have a reflection

[16:44] Rimblade: A reflection?

[16:44] Lkeas: yin/yang?

[16:45] Lord_Me: look at "alpha" on the list, I think it's in a slightly different color

[16:45] Falerin: Alpha is the opposite of Omega no mystery
