“There’s a finite amount of excitement to go around?”
“I thought we were saying something about him as a person?”
“No, that’s later.”
“Yeah, we’re well aware you’ve never had purity.”
“We have done very little to inspire loyalty.”
“You could have stopped after the word ‘inspire’.”
“You didn’t even assist.”
“One!”
“…You did better than Yammy.”
“Do they HAVE sail-through bars? If not, I’m going to invent one!”
“So how did you do?”
“Not good. Not good at all.”
“I assisted! That’s +2!”
“I *rolled* a 2.”
“What do you think the ocean is made of?! Sahuagin spit and whale piss!”
“We don’t want to go back to Butcher’s Rock.”
“Why not?”
“Aboleth.”
“That was just one unfortunate incident…”
“Are we searching for an undead thing? No? Then we’ve got 99 problems and a lich ain’t one of them.”
“You went way too far for that one.”
“…Because liches love rings.”
“…I set sail.”
“We don’t know where the face-hugger is. Well, no, we do; it’s his hat.”
“Now that we’ve solved the mystery of Bryan’s dice bag…”
“I know it’s a bad idea to go in unprepared, but at what point have I gone in prepared with more than myself, my alchemist and my axes…?”
“You’re right. Someone constructed these islands.”
“I’m sorry; you’ve decided that I don’t need to defend the island against the omnipresent threat of whatever we decided was the threat two weeks ago?”
“Oh, we’re listening to the moustache again?”
“When did we stop?”
“So that wasn’t real?”
“What, the magic compasses? NO!”
“The two of us that swim – three, if you count Mantis Boy and the amazing moustache of awesome…”
“Who are you and what have you done with Bryan? I see you only managed to steal a portion of his beard…”
“Yehviny, does the boat have legs?”
“You’re underwater; look and see!”
“What did you get?”
“Um. I don’t know. There’s a +7 there under miscellaneous modifiers, but I’m not sure why it’s there or if it’s even supposed to be there…”
“We have found the place to corrupt John’s monkey. Wow… That sounded a lot less disgusting in my head.”
“I see. I’ve never heard it used in this way.”
“Have you ever heard it used at all?”
“Can you claim another player as a mount?”
“THIS is why we can’t have nice things?”
“No… This is just a symptom of why we can’t have nice things…”
“I’m going to swim up onto the boat.”
“Why not just swim up to the island?”
“Because I want to be part of the landing party.”
“They want brains. I’ll go in; I’m safe.”
“They’re from a different timeline, in which we become zombies?”
“In which we become effective and evil?”
“Well… effective…?”
“Actually, by our party’s standards, that would make him a well-dressed Sahuagin…”
“Never going to not be funny, HE SAYS.”
“She’s been up here when we gamed; how does she not know I’m deranged?”
“This one seems like a much nicer fish-man; we should trade!”
“Bryan, what did we tell you about negotiations?”
“Don’t?”
“Did you have to leave and go through security again?”
“No, but we did go down a non-Harry-Dresden-approved hallway.”
“See, you ARE useful – no matter what Yammy says.”
“That’s debatable.”
“If you blow it up, I will stop everything and throw axes at you, for real, I am not even kidding.”
“Hooray! I saved the day!”
“You… what?”
