[16:24] <griffinguy24> So, some updates on the roommates... Lionel's somehow become more secretive and withdrawn, but he's also the guy most diligently watching over the griffin eggs
[16:26] <griffinguy24> You'd think that with a single room now, Sadie would be spending her time there. Nope. You guys barely see her outside of class, and she's even more snooty there than before
[16:27] <griffinguy24> Barry's a tad more subdued, but he still looks at all of you funny when he thinks you're not watching
[16:29] <griffinguy24> Sonia's been going out late at nights and coming back with what bruises and suchnot. They all disappear overnight
[16:31] <griffinguy24> Cory's been trying to buddy up with all of you, but this also means that pranks are starting to happen. Such as one evening when you find the kitchen and everything in it covered in bubble wrap
[16:33] <griffinguy24> Lastly, Hank has been exercising more and more, often spending more and more time with his ROTC Followers than around you, though that's not so strange...
[16:35] <griffinguy24> So, we begin with you guys receiving invitations for lunch at the top floor of the library... You've heard that this conference room is quite fancy, the place where they put the VIP guests when they arrive.
[16:36] <Dave_jones> "lunch" hay Dave says to himself and anyone in range "hope its free and decent grub!"
[16:36] <griffinguy24> No mention of a guest of honor, just invitations. Every Scion on campus has received one.
[16:37] * Gabriella Velas showers and changes her armor to a flowy cocktail dress
[16:39] * Liam doesn't bother getting dressed up
[16:39] <Dave_jones> Dave goes and finds his suit (Yes Dave owns a suit) and desides the shrit needs ironing, so stands there ironing most of the morning in jogging bottoms and not a lot else

01[16:42] <Gabriella Velas> ((no she isn't dresses slutty
))
06[16:42] * Alexander_Efasteyo dresses nice, button down shirt, tie, etc. - but not a suit
[16:44] <griff> As you guys enter the room, you see that this place has been decked out beyond your wildest imaginations. For one, it's larger than the entire building. There's definitely a Greek palace feel to it, but the buffet table has a definite Norse quality to it, and pieces of the architecture are inspired by all the pantheons present.
[16:45] * Gabriella Velas groans to herself
[16:45] * Alexander_Efasteyo wanders around checking out the unusual architecture
[16:45] * Liam seems unimpressed
[16:51] <[griffinguy24]> The only modern looking feel to it is the conference table in the center, which would not look out of place in a typical office building. At the head of it, feet on the table and large-brimmed hat over his eyes, is Dr. Lord.
[16:52] * Liam smiles
[16:52] <Liam> "What's up doc?" [[couldn't resist again]]
[16:53] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[groan]]
[16:53] <Dave_jones> Dave nodds to the Dr as he arrives before sitting down somewhere and hopes the food arrives soon
[16:53] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Hi Dr. Lord," Alex says as he nods in Dr. Lord's direction.
[16:54] <[griffinguy24]> Sighing, Dr. Lord pulls up into a seated position, "Hello, everyone. Food should be coming shrtly, as should our guests of dubious honor..."
[16:54] * Gabriella Velas lets her dress shift back to jeans and a tank top
[16:55] <Liam> "So what's this about?"
[16:55] * Alexander_Efasteyo Alex continues to check out the architecture while awaiting the arrival of the guests of honor
[16:57] <[griffinguy24]> As if on cue, the doors to the place open, and in file people of all shapes, and colors... Your noses and ears overflow with stimuli or your various pantheons... you each recognize at least one of these people, these are your divine parents
[16:57] * Liam smirks slightly then shakes his head
[16:57] * Alexander_Efasteyo uses Scent the Divine
[16:58] <[griffinguy24]> [[You don't need to, you scent it already]]
[16:58] * Gabriella Velas 's eyes flick to Dr. Lord before she takes a seat and sighs
[16:58] <Dave_jones> "DAD" yells Dave as thor comes though the door and Goes to hug him
[16:58] <[griffinguy24]> Placecards appear on the table, each with your name across it, seated next to your divine parent.
[16:59] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[Alex never used the Knack before, he figured on getting the Gods, Demigod, and Scions all at once]]
[16:59] <[griffinguy24]> Thor returns Dave's hug in earnest, "How's it going, my boy? Everything going all right? Got some good brawls in, I hear..."
[17:00] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Hi Father," Alex says to Hephaestus. "How are you?"
[17:00] <Dave_jones> "Its going well" Dave said "still no sign of the micro brewery, though the lads are looking
[17:00] <Dave_jones> "
[17:02] <[griffinguy24]> Hephaestus looks to his son from his wheelchair and gives a crooked smile, "Doing well. And I'm glad to see you are too..."
[17:02] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Is there anything I can get for you, Father?"
[17:03] <[griffinguy24]> He rolls his eyes, "Son, I'm crippled, not an invalid. You don't have to get me anything"
[17:04] <[griffinguy24]> Lugh strides over to Liam, "You handling school well, m'boy?" he says
[17:04] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Um, sorry, just trying to be polite," Alex says as he blushes slightly.
[17:05] * Liam shrugs
[17:05] <Liam> "not my first choice as you know, but could be worse"
[17:07] <[griffinguy24]> Lugh laughs, "Don't worry, I'm not here to steer you wrong... gotta say, I'm impressed with your little problem solving maneuver for your Aztec friend. Clever and noble... I approve... Yer gonna keep at it, I assume..."
[17:07] * Liam frowns and looks around at everyone else in the room
[17:09] <Liam> "Yea, well, it seemed simple enough.."
[17:11] <[griffinguy24]> Lugh claps Liam's shoulder, "They usually do... Not to worry, son, not to worry... I suppose such nobility should be rewarded..." You feel a light press upon your soul...
[17:13] * Liam gasps
[17:14] <[griffinguy24]> You all take your seats. As you do, nymphs rush over with immense quantities of food... each of you has a different meal, each one exactly what you want to eat right at that moment
[17:15] <[griffinguy24]> And yes, Dave, you and your dad BOTH have enormous steins filled with delicious beer
[17:15] * Liam sighes at the extravagance
[17:16] <Dave_jones> "man I hope I'm not paying for all this" Says Dave tucking in to a huge joint of meat
[17:16] <[griffinguy24]> Lugh elbows Liam, "Come on, enjoy yourself a little..."
[17:16] * Gabriella Velas sits silently toying with her soup
[17:17] * Liam shrugs,"Just another fancy dinner....anyways, how's grams?"
[17:17] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[sure hope Barry doesn't want to say grace]]
06[17:17] * Alexander_Efasteyo digs in once he sees others have started eating
[17:21] <[griffinguy24]> [[If he does, he does it quietly]] Once all are finished with the meal, Dr. Lord gets up and says, "So, I was told that this little reunion was to be a status report, for each of you to discuss this little experiment and evaluate it... So, I'd say now's the time to begin..."
[17:22] <Dave_jones> "great, can we not go stright to desert" Dave asks
[17:23] * Liam smiles and shakes his head at Dave
[17:23] <[griffinguy24]> Thor laughs at that, "I guess I'll start so we can get right on to that... Well, I for one am very glad we got these kids together. They've whupped some of our enemies' asses, and they'll do it again and again! This'll work out great!"
[17:24] <Dave_jones> "Well said Dad" Dave replys
[17:24] <Gabriella Velas> "It certainly has made college more entertaining...to say the least."
[17:26] <[griffinguy24]> Hephaestus then says, "As much as I agree with Thor that their prowess is becoming formidable, I am also thrilled at the academic success they've been able to achieve."
[17:29] <[griffinguy24]> Suddenly, a swarthy Arabian man, sitting next to Lionel, "I beg to differ. We should be using this setting to train our cubs into true killers. I must admit, I'm thankful that my own spawn has done better than expected, but you can't possibly call this a success..."
[17:29] * Liam raises an eyebrow
[17:30] <[griffinguy24]> Coyote laughs, "Yes, Nergal, we're all VERY aware of your opinions on this matter, but come on, they're still mortal now, kind of... We have to ease them into this..."
[17:32] <[griffinguy24]> Sun Wukong says, "Yes, would you throw them to the demons of hell right now? They must whet their teeth before they can bite"
[17:33] <[griffinguy24]> Finally, Vahram says, "Why not have the children show us their prowess right now? We can decide for ourselves if their progress is acceptable..."
[17:33] * Liam groans and smiles
[17:34] <[griffinguy24]> Dr. Lord palms his forehead, "Are... are you really going to do this? Now?"
[17:35] <Dave_jones> "do what?" Dave asks
[17:35] <Liam> "I think the suggestion is a battle royale or something to that effect Dave.."
06[17:35] * Gabriella Velas groans
[17:36] <[griffinguy24]> "Yes, a competition," Lugh says, "But it cannot just be a battle..."
[17:36] * Liam raises an eyebrow curiously at his father
[17:36] <[griffinguy24]> [[Note, here's where some social Fu might become useful... feel free to argue on your own behalf]]
[17:36] <Dave_jones> "your thinking a fight, who vs who?" Dave asks?
[17:37] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "May I ask what exactly this contest is supposed to prove?"
[17:37] <Liam> "Well hold on a second there Dave....I think my father brings up a good point...."
[17:38] <Liam> "It doesn't need to be a physical fight...after all our life as Scions isn't always about combat"
[17:38] <Dave_jones> "well I'm happy to show what I can do Says dave confindatly"
[17:39] <Gabriella Velas> "That's right. Sometimes you have to persude others to do things for you...or for another person."
[17:40] <Liam> "Some of the greatest victories in history weren't won by strength of arm"
[17:40] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Not to mention the value of intellect and craftsmanship"
[17:40] * Gabriella Velas looks at Barry "What do you think Jesus freak? I mean afterall none of these people here exist right?"
[17:41] <[griffinguy24]> Nergal growls, "Of course, but that is what you should be learning, not the soft studies of a glorified gardener and zookeeper," he glares at Dr. Lord, who doesn't respond
[17:42] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "But, um, Nergal, what about biological warfare? That requires more brains than brawn."
[17:43] <[griffinguy24]> Barry growls at Gabby, "Don't you dare lump in your hellborn powers with us, the TRUE god is on our side, and that's all we need..."
[17:44] <[griffinguy24]> You could hear a pin drop
[17:44] <Liam> "Besides, not all enemies are obvious enough to just 'fight'"
[17:44] * Liam stares and blinks
[17:44] * Alexander_Efasteyo groans softly at what Barryjust said
[17:45] <[griffinguy24]> Nergal's eye twitches, "Vahram, is this some idea of a joke?!"
[17:46] <[griffinguy24]> Vahram is flabbergasted, "Wait, what? Son, you cannot be serious with this..." Barry looks up to him and says, "You've told me that you are a servant of the One..."
[17:46] <[griffinguy24]> To which he says, "Yes, Ahura Mazda, the leader of the Yazatas of Persia..."
[17:47] <Dave_jones> Dave desides not to get involved in some religios debate and instead desides to stair in to his pint pot
[17:47] <[griffinguy24]> Coyote snickers, "I wish I had my camera"
[17:49] <Gabriella Velas> "We tried to tell you Barry, but you never want to listen...or see what is right in front of you." she replies calmly
[17:50] <[griffinguy24]> Barry looks shocked, then pulls his shotgun seemingly out of nowhere, and starts to look at each f you, as if deciding on a target, "All right, I'm going to make sure none of you demons makes it out of here to report to your dark masters..."
[17:51] * Liam rolls his eyes and simply ignores him
[17:52] * Gabriella Velas laughs at Barry "You really are clouded by all that Jesus crap aren't you?"
[17:52] * Liam smirks slightly
[17:52] <Liam> "Hey Barry.."
[17:52] <Dave_jones> Seeing the shotgun Dave desides to disarm Barry and aims from his arm with the beer glass while he is ditracted, then as soon as he looks over to him, lanches the beer glass in to his arm
[17:52] <[griffinguy24]> "Screw you, trollop!" he says, levelling the shotgun at her, "I should send you back to hell where you belong!"
[17:53] <Dave_jones> ((channel courage to take on the guy with a shotgun if needs be))
[17:53] <Dave_jones> (if allowed even!))
[17:54] <[griffinguy24]> [[Go for it]]

[18:01] <[griffinguy24]> Gabby, you're up
[18:02] <Gabriella Velas> "I tried dying once Barry...it didn't take." she says as she leaps out of her chair and across the table, and slams the palm of her hand into Barry's left shoulder.
[18:02] <[griffinguy24]> Dex + Brawl, +2 stunt

[18:03] <Gabriella Velas> Rolling 9 dice:
[18:03] <Gabriella Velas> ::7691054941 :: Success -> 6 , including 1 Automatic Successes.
[18:05] <[griffinguy24]> As your palm hits the spot, Barry twitches, spasming on the floor, shotgun dropped
[18:06] <[griffinguy24]> He is screaming like a girl as he writhes. Every god is looking at this with disbelief
[18:06] * Liam sighes, gets up and goes over to him
[18:06] * Gabriella Velas sits back on the table watching him
[18:07] * Gabriella Velas mutters "Ignorant prick" before going back to her seat
[18:07] <[griffinguy24]> Dr Lord yells, "Wait, what the hell just..." then his eyes flash black, "Holy crap, REALLY?" he draws out his machete
[18:08] <Dave_jones> Dave heads over to the guy "I'll handle him liam" He said grabbing the guy where Gabby hit him and pulling him to his feet, before pulling his left arm up behind him "I know how to deal with Disordlys"
[18:08] <Dave_jones> Dave then 'frog marches' the guy over to Dr lord
[18:08] * Liam frowns
[18:08] <Liam> "I was checking to make sure he was alright dave.."
[18:09] * Alexander_Efasteyo shakes his head is disbelief at the whole thing
[18:09] <Dave_jones> "He pulled a shotgun, him being alright is the worst of the worries" He says "which remind me, does someone want to make it safe"
[18:09] <Dave_jones> "THe shot gun I mean"
[18:09] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[in, not is]]
[18:10] <Dave_jones> [[least of the worries not worst]]
[18:10] <[griffinguy24]> Vahram looks to Dr. Lord, "What is wrong with my son?" Dr. Lord says, "He was threatening the other students... I took him into the forest, interrogated him, and threatened him... I cut him with Ocelotlantli, I thought I healed him... I guess it didn't take..."
[18:10] * Alexander_Efasteyo picks up the shotgun and hands goes to hand it to Barry's father
[18:11] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[-hands]]
[18:13] <Dave_jones> Dave forces the guy to his knees in front of Dr lord, his left arm still twisted behind his back "now mate you have some apolgising to do" he saays
[18:13] * Liam throws his hands in the air
[18:14] <[griffinguy24]> Vahram takes the shotgun, looks to Barry and goes, "IDIOT!" grabbing him on the wound, "You worship gods that do not care for you and forsake those who do... This cannot go unpunished..."
[18:15] <Dave_jones> "I'll leave him in your hands lord" Says Dave bowing slightly before letting the guy go and heading over to gabby "are you o.k" he said "did that scum back hurt you?"
[18:15] <Dave_jones> (bag even)
[18:16] * Gabriella Velas sighs at Dave "He didn't touch me Dave. I'm fine."
[18:16] <[griffinguy24]> Dr. Lord says, "The wound is from a blade treated with hydra blood... it cannot heal permanently... that wound will forever be a weak point that will bring immense pain upon the slightest touch... I would say that is punishment enough"
[18:17] <Dave_jones> "good, cos well if he did varham wouldn't have much left to punsh" Dave replys and heads back to his seat
[18:17] * Gabriella Velas shakes her head
[18:19] <[griffinguy24]> Vahram turns to you guys, "My son has done a great disservice to you all. For that, I leave his Fate in your hands... Tell me what you think must be done..."
[18:20] <Dave_jones> "take 10 rounds with me?" Dave offers
[18:21] * Gabriella Velas glares at Dave "I believe the wound he recieved is enough. I don't know how to fix ignorence like his though."
[18:21] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Um, I'd be satisfied if somehow he'd just get over his mistaken 'Christian' beliefs and worked with the obvious reality of all the Gods."
[18:22] <Dave_jones> Dave looks gabby back in the eye "its not my falt the guy is blind to see what the rest of us can see" (Boys Will Be Boys)
[18:24] <Dave_jones> ::8381077910 :: Success -> 10 , including +1 Automatic Successes.
[18:24] <Dave_jones> [[sweet]]
[18:25] <Gabriella Velas> Rolling 11 dice:
[18:25] <Gabriella Velas> ::131281102423 :: Success -> 3
[18:26] <[griffinguy24]> "I cannot open his mind that much," Vahram says with some dismay, "But I agree... his ignorance is a problem... I believe that your initial solution shall be a small favor to you," He looks to Dave, "You may engage him in single combat. At the time and place of your choosing, you will fight until one of you is knocked out. And I shall not avenge him if he dies..."
[18:26] * Liam rolls his eyes
[18:27] <griffinguy24> The rest of the luncheon passes without incident.
[16:26] <griffinguy24> You'd think that with a single room now, Sadie would be spending her time there. Nope. You guys barely see her outside of class, and she's even more snooty there than before
[16:27] <griffinguy24> Barry's a tad more subdued, but he still looks at all of you funny when he thinks you're not watching
[16:29] <griffinguy24> Sonia's been going out late at nights and coming back with what bruises and suchnot. They all disappear overnight
[16:31] <griffinguy24> Cory's been trying to buddy up with all of you, but this also means that pranks are starting to happen. Such as one evening when you find the kitchen and everything in it covered in bubble wrap
[16:33] <griffinguy24> Lastly, Hank has been exercising more and more, often spending more and more time with his ROTC Followers than around you, though that's not so strange...
[16:35] <griffinguy24> So, we begin with you guys receiving invitations for lunch at the top floor of the library... You've heard that this conference room is quite fancy, the place where they put the VIP guests when they arrive.
[16:36] <Dave_jones> "lunch" hay Dave says to himself and anyone in range "hope its free and decent grub!"
[16:36] <griffinguy24> No mention of a guest of honor, just invitations. Every Scion on campus has received one.
[16:37] * Gabriella Velas showers and changes her armor to a flowy cocktail dress
[16:39] * Liam doesn't bother getting dressed up
[16:39] <Dave_jones> Dave goes and finds his suit (Yes Dave owns a suit) and desides the shrit needs ironing, so stands there ironing most of the morning in jogging bottoms and not a lot else
[16:41] <Gabriella Velas> ((Gabby's dress lateststyle.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/09-Neu-Custom-Made-Ball-Cocktail-Dress-TC0100-WHITE-.jpg))

[16:44] <griff> As you guys enter the room, you see that this place has been decked out beyond your wildest imaginations. For one, it's larger than the entire building. There's definitely a Greek palace feel to it, but the buffet table has a definite Norse quality to it, and pieces of the architecture are inspired by all the pantheons present.
[16:45] * Gabriella Velas groans to herself
[16:45] * Alexander_Efasteyo wanders around checking out the unusual architecture
[16:45] * Liam seems unimpressed
[16:51] <[griffinguy24]> The only modern looking feel to it is the conference table in the center, which would not look out of place in a typical office building. At the head of it, feet on the table and large-brimmed hat over his eyes, is Dr. Lord.
[16:52] * Liam smiles
[16:52] <Liam> "What's up doc?" [[couldn't resist again]]
[16:53] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[groan]]
[16:53] <Dave_jones> Dave nodds to the Dr as he arrives before sitting down somewhere and hopes the food arrives soon
[16:53] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Hi Dr. Lord," Alex says as he nods in Dr. Lord's direction.
[16:54] <[griffinguy24]> Sighing, Dr. Lord pulls up into a seated position, "Hello, everyone. Food should be coming shrtly, as should our guests of dubious honor..."
[16:54] * Gabriella Velas lets her dress shift back to jeans and a tank top
[16:55] <Liam> "So what's this about?"
[16:55] * Alexander_Efasteyo Alex continues to check out the architecture while awaiting the arrival of the guests of honor
[16:57] <[griffinguy24]> As if on cue, the doors to the place open, and in file people of all shapes, and colors... Your noses and ears overflow with stimuli or your various pantheons... you each recognize at least one of these people, these are your divine parents
[16:57] * Liam smirks slightly then shakes his head
[16:57] * Alexander_Efasteyo uses Scent the Divine
[16:58] <[griffinguy24]> [[You don't need to, you scent it already]]
[16:58] * Gabriella Velas 's eyes flick to Dr. Lord before she takes a seat and sighs
[16:58] <Dave_jones> "DAD" yells Dave as thor comes though the door and Goes to hug him
[16:58] <[griffinguy24]> Placecards appear on the table, each with your name across it, seated next to your divine parent.
[16:59] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[Alex never used the Knack before, he figured on getting the Gods, Demigod, and Scions all at once]]
[16:59] <[griffinguy24]> Thor returns Dave's hug in earnest, "How's it going, my boy? Everything going all right? Got some good brawls in, I hear..."
[17:00] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Hi Father," Alex says to Hephaestus. "How are you?"
[17:00] <Dave_jones> "Its going well" Dave said "still no sign of the micro brewery, though the lads are looking
[17:00] <Dave_jones> "
[17:02] <[griffinguy24]> Hephaestus looks to his son from his wheelchair and gives a crooked smile, "Doing well. And I'm glad to see you are too..."
[17:02] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Is there anything I can get for you, Father?"
[17:03] <[griffinguy24]> He rolls his eyes, "Son, I'm crippled, not an invalid. You don't have to get me anything"
[17:04] <[griffinguy24]> Lugh strides over to Liam, "You handling school well, m'boy?" he says
[17:04] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Um, sorry, just trying to be polite," Alex says as he blushes slightly.
[17:05] * Liam shrugs
[17:05] <Liam> "not my first choice as you know, but could be worse"
[17:07] <[griffinguy24]> Lugh laughs, "Don't worry, I'm not here to steer you wrong... gotta say, I'm impressed with your little problem solving maneuver for your Aztec friend. Clever and noble... I approve... Yer gonna keep at it, I assume..."
[17:07] * Liam frowns and looks around at everyone else in the room
[17:09] <Liam> "Yea, well, it seemed simple enough.."
[17:11] <[griffinguy24]> Lugh claps Liam's shoulder, "They usually do... Not to worry, son, not to worry... I suppose such nobility should be rewarded..." You feel a light press upon your soul...
[17:13] * Liam gasps
[17:14] <[griffinguy24]> You all take your seats. As you do, nymphs rush over with immense quantities of food... each of you has a different meal, each one exactly what you want to eat right at that moment
[17:15] <[griffinguy24]> And yes, Dave, you and your dad BOTH have enormous steins filled with delicious beer
[17:15] * Liam sighes at the extravagance
[17:16] <Dave_jones> "man I hope I'm not paying for all this" Says Dave tucking in to a huge joint of meat
[17:16] <[griffinguy24]> Lugh elbows Liam, "Come on, enjoy yourself a little..."
[17:16] * Gabriella Velas sits silently toying with her soup
[17:17] * Liam shrugs,"Just another fancy dinner....anyways, how's grams?"
[17:17] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[sure hope Barry doesn't want to say grace]]
06[17:17] * Alexander_Efasteyo digs in once he sees others have started eating
[17:21] <[griffinguy24]> [[If he does, he does it quietly]] Once all are finished with the meal, Dr. Lord gets up and says, "So, I was told that this little reunion was to be a status report, for each of you to discuss this little experiment and evaluate it... So, I'd say now's the time to begin..."
[17:22] <Dave_jones> "great, can we not go stright to desert" Dave asks
[17:23] * Liam smiles and shakes his head at Dave
[17:23] <[griffinguy24]> Thor laughs at that, "I guess I'll start so we can get right on to that... Well, I for one am very glad we got these kids together. They've whupped some of our enemies' asses, and they'll do it again and again! This'll work out great!"
[17:24] <Dave_jones> "Well said Dad" Dave replys
[17:24] <Gabriella Velas> "It certainly has made college more entertaining...to say the least."
[17:26] <[griffinguy24]> Hephaestus then says, "As much as I agree with Thor that their prowess is becoming formidable, I am also thrilled at the academic success they've been able to achieve."
[17:29] <[griffinguy24]> Suddenly, a swarthy Arabian man, sitting next to Lionel, "I beg to differ. We should be using this setting to train our cubs into true killers. I must admit, I'm thankful that my own spawn has done better than expected, but you can't possibly call this a success..."
[17:29] * Liam raises an eyebrow
[17:30] <[griffinguy24]> Coyote laughs, "Yes, Nergal, we're all VERY aware of your opinions on this matter, but come on, they're still mortal now, kind of... We have to ease them into this..."
[17:32] <[griffinguy24]> Sun Wukong says, "Yes, would you throw them to the demons of hell right now? They must whet their teeth before they can bite"
[17:33] <[griffinguy24]> Finally, Vahram says, "Why not have the children show us their prowess right now? We can decide for ourselves if their progress is acceptable..."
[17:33] * Liam groans and smiles
[17:34] <[griffinguy24]> Dr. Lord palms his forehead, "Are... are you really going to do this? Now?"
[17:35] <Dave_jones> "do what?" Dave asks
[17:35] <Liam> "I think the suggestion is a battle royale or something to that effect Dave.."
06[17:35] * Gabriella Velas groans
[17:36] <[griffinguy24]> "Yes, a competition," Lugh says, "But it cannot just be a battle..."
[17:36] * Liam raises an eyebrow curiously at his father
[17:36] <[griffinguy24]> [[Note, here's where some social Fu might become useful... feel free to argue on your own behalf]]
[17:36] <Dave_jones> "your thinking a fight, who vs who?" Dave asks?
[17:37] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "May I ask what exactly this contest is supposed to prove?"
[17:37] <Liam> "Well hold on a second there Dave....I think my father brings up a good point...."
[17:38] <Liam> "It doesn't need to be a physical fight...after all our life as Scions isn't always about combat"
[17:38] <Dave_jones> "well I'm happy to show what I can do Says dave confindatly"
[17:39] <Gabriella Velas> "That's right. Sometimes you have to persude others to do things for you...or for another person."
[17:40] <Liam> "Some of the greatest victories in history weren't won by strength of arm"
[17:40] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Not to mention the value of intellect and craftsmanship"
[17:40] * Gabriella Velas looks at Barry "What do you think Jesus freak? I mean afterall none of these people here exist right?"
[17:41] <[griffinguy24]> Nergal growls, "Of course, but that is what you should be learning, not the soft studies of a glorified gardener and zookeeper," he glares at Dr. Lord, who doesn't respond
[17:42] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "But, um, Nergal, what about biological warfare? That requires more brains than brawn."
[17:43] <[griffinguy24]> Barry growls at Gabby, "Don't you dare lump in your hellborn powers with us, the TRUE god is on our side, and that's all we need..."
[17:44] <[griffinguy24]> You could hear a pin drop
[17:44] <Liam> "Besides, not all enemies are obvious enough to just 'fight'"
[17:44] * Liam stares and blinks
[17:44] * Alexander_Efasteyo groans softly at what Barryjust said
[17:45] <[griffinguy24]> Nergal's eye twitches, "Vahram, is this some idea of a joke?!"
[17:46] <[griffinguy24]> Vahram is flabbergasted, "Wait, what? Son, you cannot be serious with this..." Barry looks up to him and says, "You've told me that you are a servant of the One..."
[17:46] <[griffinguy24]> To which he says, "Yes, Ahura Mazda, the leader of the Yazatas of Persia..."
[17:47] <Dave_jones> Dave desides not to get involved in some religios debate and instead desides to stair in to his pint pot
[17:47] <[griffinguy24]> Coyote snickers, "I wish I had my camera"
[17:49] <Gabriella Velas> "We tried to tell you Barry, but you never want to listen...or see what is right in front of you." she replies calmly
[17:50] <[griffinguy24]> Barry looks shocked, then pulls his shotgun seemingly out of nowhere, and starts to look at each f you, as if deciding on a target, "All right, I'm going to make sure none of you demons makes it out of here to report to your dark masters..."
[17:51] * Liam rolls his eyes and simply ignores him
[17:52] * Gabriella Velas laughs at Barry "You really are clouded by all that Jesus crap aren't you?"
[17:52] * Liam smirks slightly
[17:52] <Liam> "Hey Barry.."
[17:52] <Dave_jones> Seeing the shotgun Dave desides to disarm Barry and aims from his arm with the beer glass while he is ditracted, then as soon as he looks over to him, lanches the beer glass in to his arm
[17:52] <[griffinguy24]> "Screw you, trollop!" he says, levelling the shotgun at her, "I should send you back to hell where you belong!"
[17:53] <Dave_jones> ((channel courage to take on the guy with a shotgun if needs be))
[17:53] <Dave_jones> (if allowed even!))
[17:54] <[griffinguy24]> [[Go for it]]
[17:54] <Dave_jones> [[how many terns of aim?]]

[17:59] <Dave_jones> (Don't I got first considering I innishated combat?))
[18:00] <[griffinguy24]> Assume that you're aiming/that combat started when he pulled the shoitgun
[18:00] <Dave_jones> [[o.k]]
[18:00] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[and since I had one worse than Dave, shouldn't Alex go at tick 5?]]
[18:01] <Liam> [[alex should be 5 i think..]]
[18:01] <[griffinguy24]> OK, five, right ><
[18:01] <[griffinguy24]> Gabby, you're up
[18:02] <Gabriella Velas> "I tried dying once Barry...it didn't take." she says as she leaps out of her chair and across the table, and slams the palm of her hand into Barry's left shoulder.
[18:02] <[griffinguy24]> Dex + Brawl, +2 stunt
[18:03] <Gabriella Velas> Rolling 9 dice:
[18:03] <Gabriella Velas> ::182285415 :: Success -> 3 , including 1 Automatic Successes.

[18:03] <Gabriella Velas> Rolling 9 dice:
[18:03] <Gabriella Velas> ::7691054941 :: Success -> 6 , including 1 Automatic Successes.
[18:05] <[griffinguy24]> As your palm hits the spot, Barry twitches, spasming on the floor, shotgun dropped
[18:06] <[griffinguy24]> He is screaming like a girl as he writhes. Every god is looking at this with disbelief
[18:06] * Liam sighes, gets up and goes over to him
[18:06] * Gabriella Velas sits back on the table watching him
[18:07] * Gabriella Velas mutters "Ignorant prick" before going back to her seat
[18:07] <[griffinguy24]> Dr Lord yells, "Wait, what the hell just..." then his eyes flash black, "Holy crap, REALLY?" he draws out his machete
[18:08] <Dave_jones> Dave heads over to the guy "I'll handle him liam" He said grabbing the guy where Gabby hit him and pulling him to his feet, before pulling his left arm up behind him "I know how to deal with Disordlys"
[18:08] <Dave_jones> Dave then 'frog marches' the guy over to Dr lord
[18:08] * Liam frowns
[18:08] <Liam> "I was checking to make sure he was alright dave.."
[18:09] * Alexander_Efasteyo shakes his head is disbelief at the whole thing
[18:09] <Dave_jones> "He pulled a shotgun, him being alright is the worst of the worries" He says "which remind me, does someone want to make it safe"
[18:09] <Dave_jones> "THe shot gun I mean"
[18:09] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[in, not is]]
[18:10] <Dave_jones> [[least of the worries not worst]]
[18:10] <[griffinguy24]> Vahram looks to Dr. Lord, "What is wrong with my son?" Dr. Lord says, "He was threatening the other students... I took him into the forest, interrogated him, and threatened him... I cut him with Ocelotlantli, I thought I healed him... I guess it didn't take..."
[18:10] * Alexander_Efasteyo picks up the shotgun and hands goes to hand it to Barry's father
[18:11] <Alexander_Efasteyo> [[-hands]]
[18:13] <Dave_jones> Dave forces the guy to his knees in front of Dr lord, his left arm still twisted behind his back "now mate you have some apolgising to do" he saays
[18:13] * Liam throws his hands in the air
[18:14] <[griffinguy24]> Vahram takes the shotgun, looks to Barry and goes, "IDIOT!" grabbing him on the wound, "You worship gods that do not care for you and forsake those who do... This cannot go unpunished..."
[18:15] <Dave_jones> "I'll leave him in your hands lord" Says Dave bowing slightly before letting the guy go and heading over to gabby "are you o.k" he said "did that scum back hurt you?"
[18:15] <Dave_jones> (bag even)
[18:16] * Gabriella Velas sighs at Dave "He didn't touch me Dave. I'm fine."
[18:16] <[griffinguy24]> Dr. Lord says, "The wound is from a blade treated with hydra blood... it cannot heal permanently... that wound will forever be a weak point that will bring immense pain upon the slightest touch... I would say that is punishment enough"
[18:17] <Dave_jones> "good, cos well if he did varham wouldn't have much left to punsh" Dave replys and heads back to his seat
[18:17] * Gabriella Velas shakes her head
[18:19] <[griffinguy24]> Vahram turns to you guys, "My son has done a great disservice to you all. For that, I leave his Fate in your hands... Tell me what you think must be done..."
[18:20] <Dave_jones> "take 10 rounds with me?" Dave offers
[18:21] * Gabriella Velas glares at Dave "I believe the wound he recieved is enough. I don't know how to fix ignorence like his though."
[18:21] <Alexander_Efasteyo> "Um, I'd be satisfied if somehow he'd just get over his mistaken 'Christian' beliefs and worked with the obvious reality of all the Gods."
[18:22] <Dave_jones> Dave looks gabby back in the eye "its not my falt the guy is blind to see what the rest of us can see" (Boys Will Be Boys)
[18:24] <Dave_jones> ::8381077910 :: Success -> 10 , including +1 Automatic Successes.
[18:24] <Dave_jones> [[sweet]]
[18:25] <Gabriella Velas> Rolling 11 dice:
[18:25] <Gabriella Velas> ::131281102423 :: Success -> 3
[18:26] <[griffinguy24]> "I cannot open his mind that much," Vahram says with some dismay, "But I agree... his ignorance is a problem... I believe that your initial solution shall be a small favor to you," He looks to Dave, "You may engage him in single combat. At the time and place of your choosing, you will fight until one of you is knocked out. And I shall not avenge him if he dies..."
[18:26] * Liam rolls his eyes
[18:27] <griffinguy24> The rest of the luncheon passes without incident.
