Glitchful Thinking


The ghostly voice of Evia says, "So much for our notion of infallibility."



Here are some of the more amusing slip-ups and typos from the Witchful Thinking storyline, along with a few especially funny IC moments. Applause goes to GM Kenstrom for keeping us in stitches with his graceful recoveries, and a big thanks to Leafiara and her KST logs, as well as to Thrassus, for providing many of these clips.



The figure can be seen stepping off into the mist of the rain, heading easternly.
Evician whispers to the group, "Is Easternly a word?"
Some town scholars wander by, sipping coffee in the late of the night and seem to be squabbling amongst themselves, "....so, eastern is acceptable, why not easternly? I believe it is, and if not, it shall be now...we'll make sure we contact the town clerk to get it...." and they wander off.

Pylasar looks down, counting his fingers.
Pylasar exclaims, "Not 'grand' yet then!"
Speaking flatly to Pylasar, Raelee says, "Apparently."



Pylasar leans in, kissing at the air.  Awkward? Cute? Gross? Moving on.  He walks along the wall, touching the liquid rolling and rippling.




Speaking amusedly to Hapenlok, Shiril says, "I'll say."
Ysharra says, "Good girl, Magister.  Just as you should."
FUN PAUSE.

Speaking to Stormyrain, Lazaryth says, "So."

Speaking to Stormyrain, Lazaryth says, "Terrible weather we're having."

Lazaryth asks, "Don't you think?"

Roundtime: 60 seconds.

Lyrna makes a wheezing sound.

Speaking to Shinann, Stormyrain whispers aloud, "Is she still breathing?"

Cryheart says, "Awwwww."

Roundtime: 30 seconds. Pylasar maintains his bearhug, but the painting tilts slightly in his hand and you can see it. A young human child is standing in a field of wildflowers, the bright sunlight streaming around her making the field behind her indistinct. Her sandy blonde hair appears almost white where the sunlight touches it, and her freckles are dark against her otherwise pale skin. Her green eyes sparkle and her smile is radiant as she offers a small purple flower to the viewer.

Speaking quietly to Pylasar, Myasarie says, "Aye m'lord keep your mind in the here and now."
Pylasar stands up.

With a roar, Pylasar lowers his shoulder and charges the glass door!

[Town Barracks, Kitchen]
The kitchen is aglow in a haze of orange light as the fires from the two large stoves in the back burn bright, their flames slow roasting the boars and quail turning on their spits. A trio of curly-haired halflings shuffles back and forth between the cooking fires and some low countertops, feverishly preparing the next meal. Above a stout wooden table, a long oak cabinet holds a range of bottles, cups and other refreshments. You also see some butchered militia corpses.

Speaking quietly to Thrayzar, Pukk says, "You should eat my meat....then you won't be having these aches."

Shinann: "The witch is upstairs... through the door."
Leafiara: "Which one?"
[a locate reveals...]
[Hendoran Outpost, Gateway]
The stone walls are smooth and covered with faint, yet meticulously-detailed wards that periodically shimmer with pale silver light. The glow from the rune-etched walls bathes the entire circular chamber in a soft luminosity. The very air crackles with a powerful energy, as the occasional spark of lightning dances harmlessly across the high-domed ceiling. You also see a rune-carved steel door.
Also here: Shinann, Magister Raelee, Raznel
[but Leafiara has no clue where this is, nor apparently does anyone other than those two and Xorus, so insert a bunch of aimless wandering with multiple groups and individuals trying and failing to find them]
[wandering]
Dergoatean says, "I can try."
[wandering]
Cryheart: "Checking for Raznel."
[wandering]
Leafiara says, "Can't find them..."

Leafiara says, "There's a rune-covered door at the lab, but it doesn't lead to them."
Maags says, "Little bit of a maze."
Ensayn hopefully says, "I saw a dartboard."



The town guard steps in front of Disean and says, "Excuse me, sir, there's an entrance fee to use this gate. Five silvers please."



Coming around a bend, three other militiaman move further into view, escorting with them a muscular figure with a burlap sack thrown over his head and chains bound around both his arms and ankles.  He does not resist as he moves among the militia.
The voice of Kenstrom asks, "What...?"
OOPS?
Kethrain squints.
The militiaman says, "....what?"

Speaking to Thrassus, Xorus says, "I saw a ki-lin, once."
Emerging from somewhere on the small ship appears an Erithian man and woman, both with alabaster skin and matching crystalline grey eyes.  Robes of gossamer drape down their lithe forms.  They watch the activity and the crowd at the docks.
