<Robin> [ Last time, on X-Canyons: ]
<Robin> [ Just as our heroes round the next corner, they see a trio of 
figures; two tall, gangly manlike figures with odd, upright-oblong 
faces curled in displeasure, the other a massive, bloatedly corpulent 
and barely-winged vaguely humanoid *thing*. The area around them reeks 
impossibly. ]
* Tia gags and covers her nose.
<Kenji> Well, you're not half as ugly as I expected.  I assure you, 
though, the smell MORE than makes up for it.
<Robin> [ The two tall gangly figures eye you and one of them starts 
ranting immediately. "BLOODY FUKKIN' 'ELL. AZIF WE DIN' HAVE ENOUGH OF 
A STICK UP OUR COLLECTIVE CRAPPER, NOW WE GOTTA DEAL WITH A BUNCHA 
<Robin> PRIMES WANDERIN' ABOUT AN--" and he *does* *not* *stop*. ]
<Robin>  [ The larger, fat one actually looks happy to see you all, but 
not in a way that makes you feel good. "Well well! Look at this! It 
seems we have a few extra wards to take care of, now! Weeeeelcome to 
Carceri, good friends, you will be staying for quite some time, now." ]
<Robin> [ "Here," the fat one says as three-foot-long claws extrude 
from his fingertips, "Let us make you comfortable." ]
<Robin> [ The monsters are still there; the gorge is still there; the 
stench is still there, and one of the tall, gangly ones is still 
ranting at full pace, using inventive combinations of oaths and foul 
language that you'd never dared imagine. ]
<Robin> [ The fat one pulls out a massive polearm and begins casting a 
spell. ]
<Robin> [ Session Start! ]
* Tia growls and draws her greataxe. Her eyes blaze with rage, and she 
rears up and spreads her wings menacingly as she belts out a loud roar.
<Robin> [ The big, fat one raises a fleshy eyebrow. "A follower of 
Gwynharwyf and an aasimar. This will be most lucrative." ]
<Robin> [ Seylin, go! ]
* Seylin draws her halberd, spins it around, and thrusts it forward at 
the center demon, a huge burst of flame shooting from it.
<Robin> [ The slimy demons wail as Seylin blasts them with holy 
goodness. Their cries echo oddly in the canyons. ]
* WillS smacks his head as he just remembered something important and 
shouts out to the group. "Be careful people! I just remembered! Don't 
Die! Your soul gets trapped in this plane when you die."
* Kenji dashes forward, leaping off the wall and straight through the 
demons' unready guards, slashing deeply into the fat one with 
Soramaro's wavering blade.
* Kenji calls back in an absolutely astounded voice, "Okay, at what 
point did you decide we needed to be reminded -not- to die?"
<Robin> [ The fat one takes a deep but, but already begins to heal at a 
remarkable pace. He doesn't seem bothered by the pain, and might even 
be enjoying it. ]
* WillS looks a bit abashed. "Well..erm..It's a bit worse here...."
<Kenji> Okay, I'll give you that.  I would prefer that my soul go on to 
its next cycle, certainly.  But you should -really- have better things 
to do with your breath.
<Robin> [ The leftward gangly fiend lopes up to Seylin and begins 
slashing at her while screaming fit to launch spittle all over the 
immediate area. ]
<Robin> [ Will, go! ]
<Robin> [ Seylin looks hurt. :( ]
* Patrick does not like the fact that Seylin looks hurt.
* WillS points a finger at Seylin, and with a quick prayer, launches 
forth a wave of positive energy that patches her up really fast.
<Seylin> Thanks, Will!
* WillS gives Sey a quick wave. "My pleasure!"
<Robin> [ The other gangly fiend tries to rip up Kenji, and ends up not 
only hurting him after the first attack is parried into his portly 
partner, but ends up holding fast to Kenji with his disgusting black 
goo. ]
<Robin> [ Patrick, go! ]
<Robin> [ The fiend facing Seylin dissolves as patrick fills it with 
holy arrows, but not before telling Patrick what it thinks of him. ]
<Robin> [ Tia, go! ]
* Patrick draws his bow and fires a flight of holy arrows at the fiend, 
the last one bursting in a small flash of light as it impacts its 
target.
* Tia charges forward in a wrathful whirlwind of axeblade and claw, 
slashing into the monster that has Kenji in its grip.
<Robin> [ As Tia's incoming, the big fat one cuts at Tia twice with his 
guisarme. Tia also accidentally slashes into Kenji as the tarbaby rolls 
around, exposing Kenji to her attacks. Oops. ]
<Robin> [ The fat one makes a gesture with his hand and then spits a 
glob of slime at Patrick. ]
<Tia> Oh, Kenji! I'm sorry!
* Kenji would shrug, but he's kinda occupied right now.
<Kenji> Just a little blood, nothing to worry abooooooout!  
* Kenji gets rolled over again.
<Robin> [ Pat is hit by the slime and shakes briefly, but is otherwise 
fine. Then two more of the tall, gangly fiends appear. ]
<Robin> [ One of them eyes Seylin and screams. The other just shouts 
"FUCKIN' AASIMON." ]
<Robin> [ Seylin, go! ]
* Seylin takes off and ends up hovering directly above the fiends. She 
spins her halberd in one complete circle, then thrusts it downward. A 
huge sphere of holy light surrounds her, engulfing the fiends (and also 
Kenji and Tia).
* Kenji screams in rage and turns into a whirling ball of frenzied 
berserker, even though he's literally glued to this thing. He curls his 
legs all the way up to his chest and slams his feet into the thing's 
face half a dozen times, then punches both hands straight through its 
chest and plays tetris with its internal organs. All bare handed.
<Robin> [ One of the newer gangly fiends runs up and latches onto Tia 
while trying to rip her up! ]
<Robin> [ Will, go! ]
* Tia roars. "Eww! Get off me!"
<Robin> [ The fiend roars back. "IF YOU CAN'T STAND THE MEAT 
BYPRODUCTS, STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN!" ]
<Kenji> YOU!
* WillS takes note of how his friends are doing and with a quick 
prayer, sends forth not a wave, but a flood of white light that patches 
up all his friends.
<Robin> [ They are healed! ]
<Robin> [ Soon, the next round begins! God, this is so DBZ. ]
<Robin> [ Session End! ]
