Bidding...

"THIRTY!?! You're nuts!" -- Dale
"I won, didn't I? -- Lee

"Mental Note: don't let Joren hit me." -- Lee

"What the fuck is up with endurance?" -- Joren, after a bidding war left Jackie spending 63 and Lee at 65

"And warfare goes to Dale for 31, the only man still capable of bidding after the recent gouts of blood spurting from the point totals for the rest of you." --GM

"So, I spent 46, and I spent the least out of everyone?" -- Dale
"Yup." -- GM
"What are the odds, I'm really smart and they're really stupid?" -- Dale
"Under different circumstances, the odds are really against you... in this case however...." -- GM

Session Two--Gaining of initial pieces.

"What do you mean, the nazi won the race?" -- Joren

"So the knights ride up along side the duke on the hill, flank him, pull out automatic weapons, and gun him down." -- GM

"I'm waiting for the punchline."--Selena
"How about: 'they start scanning the battle below, looking for unusual things like oh, say, a woman in the midst of the fight."--GM
"Nice. I hide behind a rock."--Selena

"The demons are tearing the hell out of the warlords tent, they are a good 30 feet tall... what are you doing?" -- GM
"I'm curious, how is Genghis taking this?" -- Lee

"Jordan, I was wondering if you'd do me a favor and trump your cousins... let them know we'd like to see them in Amber as soon as possible." -- Bleys
"Is the favor me doing that or me doing it without you having to make me do it anyway?" -- Jordan
(shrug) "Your choice." -- Bleys

"Who gathers up the papers so I can't see em?"--Chance
"Fiona."--GM
"Bitch."--Chance
"You say that?"--GM
"Are you nuts?..."--Chance

"His Mind must be powerful, for his body is a very poor specimen." -- Jordan, referring to Chance.

"Did he like... kill you're dog or something?" -- Jordan, to Selena, refering to Chance

"You're heading off alone?" -- Jordan
"Yes. "-- Selena
"Why?" -- Jordan
"Two reasons... I don't have to travel with Chance, it's something other than what Caine suggested." --Selena

"As you turn around, the man in the nice red suit with the sunglasses backhands you, you fly a good 10 to 15 feet and crumple to the ground, having hit shoulder first, and you feel something POP painfully." -- GM
"How much of that is blocked by my protection artifact?" -- Lee
"That's AFTER I figured in the protection." -- GM
"Ohhhhh... (pause) Shit. That's bad."--Chance

"You've gotta eat some meat and put on some weight or something "-- Jordan
"This is the price I pay for being the finest mind of my generation... are you any good with binding fractures?" -- Chance

"His sword barely misses you, driven by a strength far beyond your own... it thunks into the wood of the gate you were standing in front of, and the wood around the blade starts to smoke." -- GM
"Cool, I'll have to figure out how to make mine do that... if I live." -- Selena

Session 3--More pieces.

"So we're in the Aztech shadow, but Chance, the only one they understand, is gone." -- Jordan
"Right" -- GM
"So how do they think of me?" -- Jordan
"Well, you're the kin of the God, you're still okay" -- GM
"But can they understand me?" -- Jordan
"This is Chance's shadow, they understand calls for food, drink, and they know the Thari words for 'more oil'" -- GM
(Turns back to Trump) "No, I'm okay, I'll just stay here for a couple days and heal." -- Jordan

"Why does everyone freak when I say that the guy who just trumped me said his name was Osric?" -- Selena

"While you're breaking the neck of the last hound, one of the guys in armor leaps forward and stabs you in the side."--GM
"I become very unhappy."--Jordan

"Hi" -- Jordan
"Hello" -- Finndo
"I have what I came for I think, I'll just be heading along now." -- Jordan

 "Alright, I'll be seeing you soon, I suppose" -- Finndo

"Oooooh I hope not" -- Jordan

Session 4, more pieces

"I shapeshift my hair into fine filaments that reach out to grasp hold of Kethos... so I can make mental contact." -- Chance
"He grasps hold of the hair in an eyeblink and swings you around like a dead cat in a tight space." -- GM

"I bury the prongs of the crossbow into the man's groin like a hatchet." -- Cathryn
"Yeeowch, why?" -- Jordan
"Forgot to reload, I lose alot of crossbows like this." -- Cathryn

"I jump on the back of the red and black, furry elephant and hellride after Kethos." -- Cathryn
"Cool, I'm going with her." -- Selena

"Sitting nonchalantly on the tombstone is Finndo." -- GM
"I'm going to trump Benedict." -- Selena
"I'm going to trump Gerard." -- Cathryn

"Benedict, who was that man?" -- Selena
"Finndo, my eldest brother." -- Benedict
"No offence, but why did you let him get away with the piece." -- Selena
"Finndo was the man who taught me how to fight." -- Benedict
"OH, FUCK!" -- The group.

Session Five -- Corwin's Pattern

"So, I shadow-shifted to the last piece, and that brought me to Corwin's pattern?"--Cathryn
"Yup."--GM
"Bo."--Cathryn

"You guys figure out what you're going to do, I'm going to go take a shower."--GM

"So, the last piece is out in Corwyn's shadow, Kethos has been here already and is going after the piece, and to go after it, one of us has to walk this pattern to imprint it?"--Cathryn
"Yes."--GM
(Long pause.) "Okay, I'll step to the beginning of the pattern and start walking it."--Cathryn
"I step onto the pattern just after she gets past the first veil."--Chance
"WHAT!"--Group at large.

"That was a very, very stupid thing to do..."--Able, to Chance
"I swallow a bit more blood, wouldn't want to spit it up on the pattern."--Chance

"Chance's pattern Ghost, imprinted with every ounce of hatred he possesses, is now on the loose -- Jurt
"And I thought it couldn't get any worse. Silly me."--Jordan

"Chance! Come help me!"--Selena, drugged and stuck in a closet, with an Uzi leveled at the door.

"Yes, Kethos got away. Yes, he got the last piece. But I killed his horse, that has Got to Piss Him Off."--Cathryn

Session Six--The Curse of Bad Living

"I'm going to trump the Aztec shadow."--Chance
(later) "The native seem to be restless."--GM
"Oh Shutup."--Chance

"The tower slides from the side of the keep, plummeting down to crash into the courtyard below--several natives are crushed, the rest scatter."--GM
"Perfect."--Chance
"As the dust clears, a unit of horsemen rides over the rubble and into the courtyard, lead by Kethos."--GM
"Fuck. Me."--Chance
"Doin' my best, big guy."--GM

"As you trump into Jordan's rooms in Castle Amber to get away from Kethos, the proximity of the Amber pattern affects you."--GM
"Meaning what?"--Chance
"Meaning you collapse, smacking you forehead into the flagstones as some higher power rams a rusty icepick through the back of your skull, you start retching and you don't stop for.... well, you don't stop."--GM
"Nice, good thing I like being in pain."--Chance

"I try to help Chance move."--Jordan
"That may not be the best thing for him."--GM
"Who gives a fuck, he's vomiting on my rug."--Jordan

"As you open the door of your room, and explosion rips the front wall away and blows you back against the opposite wall. As you loose consciousness, you see Chance's pattern Ghost step out of a nearby doorway and move towards you."--GM
"Dead, Chance is sooooo dead."--Selena

"The guards show up, they are looking for Chance."--GM
"And they came here... what an unlucky coincidence. I dont' want to imply I'm Sur PRIS Ed? at all, I'm not."--Jordan

"Dammit Selena, I told you to leave Chance alone."--Random
"No, you told me not to hit him... I didn't hit him."--Selena
"I didn't think you'd use a non-physical form of assault."--Random
"I only did that because his ghost Broke My Arm."--Selena

"Two men burst into your room, followed by Ries."--GM
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE-- why, hello, Father..."--Chance

<H5>Session 7--Mousetrap</H5> "A hand reaches out a shimmering distortion and grasps Kethos'."--GM
"I grab hold of that wrist and yank the poor sucker through."--Todd
"You get the distinct impression of having made no headway at all... the guy who owns the wrist steps the rest of the way through and backhands you against the far wall."--GM
"Finndoooo..."--Chance

"Kethos slips through the trump gate."--GM
"So does the hand grenade Flora gave me."--Selena

"I leap through the distortion after Finndo."--Chance
"You're going after Finndo?"--GM
"No no no.. I mean I'm going through after HE goes through..."--Chance

"You do realize Selena just tossed a live grenade through the gate?"--GM
"Here's hoping gunpowder doesn't work over here."--Chance
"Here's hoping it does."--Selena

"You get contact with Benedict."--GM
"Hot damn! I mean: 'Uncle, we have an emergency.'"--Selena

"I pick up the piece of the key."--Chance
"You apparently forgot this item is closely attuned to the Amber Pattern?"--GM
"Ahh, yeah, looks like it... lemme guess... vomiting blood again, huh?"--Chance

"I guess style really Doesn't matter to you, does it?"--GM

"I can't believe you animated the armor, you BAS Tard?."--Cathryn, to the GM

"I saved your life, Chance, you had to know how hard that was for me."--Selena

"Cordmarre whips a card at you, it becomes a spinning pinwheel of flame as it leaves his hand."--GM

"You should be more prepared, Abel. You see... I brought a knife." (stab!)--Chance

Session 11--The battle.

"I'm going to twist the marching of the army leaders as they Shadow-walk to Amber."--Cathryn
"What are you going to do?"--GM
"I'm going to make the whole army walk in 50 mile circle. For Benedict, it's going to be like fighting a Merry-Go-Round. Is THAT easy enough?"--Cathryn

"As the pieces are laid out together on the table, they begin to slid towards one another... twisting, melding and growing."--GM
"Kinky."--Vincent

"The warped pattern of Finndo lies in full size upon the floor of the Throne Room."--GM
"I'm going to grab the Jewel of Judgement off the floor and start walking this pattern, maybe I can un-warp it..."--Cathryn
"Before you ask, I am NOT following THIS time."--Chance

"That's all right, I've got the build for it."--Jordan

"Angus makes a trade agreement, we get tossed in jail... something is off here."--Selena

"Brand has the Jewel of Judgement? Ohhhhhthat'sbad..." -- Ariadne

"Are you crazy?--Jordan
"I'm going to pay Finndo a visit."--Selena

(Selena dumps blood on Finndo's pattern)

Session 17--Wars and Wandering

"Due to the splatter of blood, there are lots of small Black Road's running through Shadow now, instead of the old version where ther was just one Big one."--GM
"So I made things worse, great. I thought I was supposed to have Good Stuff, so my ideas weren't all fucked up."--Selena

"I'm going to assemble my army and go to the protection of Amber."--Angus
"How many are you going to call together?"--GM
"Well I've got about a week, I'll summon 50,000"--Angus

"Oh yeah, forgot... I'll make it 250,000."--Angus
"Ohmigod."-GM

"Cool, Angus' version of Hy-Vee: Where there's a helpful smile in Every Shadow."-Selena

"Some crazy wave of nothingness washes over you and you feel yourself pulled through shadow, finally deposited with only 1/100th of your troops in a distant, crazy shadow. Some elemental rock-hand is bearing off with Sean."--GM

"You know that jail cell Jordan's in?"--GM
"Dammit"--Selena

"You appear to be in a Pocket Shadow of Brand's design, it's a near-infinate dungeon labyrinth."--GM
"Dammit, I don't have my skateboard."--Jordan

"I try to trump out anyway."--Jordan
"Brand apparently wasn't bluffing. You pass out from the pain, and when you come too, you're bleeding a bit from ears and nose."-GM
"I HATE this guy."--Jordan

"I'm going to try to use my trump tatoo to contact Yan."--Vincent
"You'r eyes roll pack in your head as you pass out from the pain."--GM
"Cool, I'm going to spraypaint 'Trump Me' in big orange letters on the back of his armor."--Ariadne

"By the time to return to Amber you realize something is very bad, there's a smoking hole in the side of Mount Kolvir, and Fiona says someone just gutted Merlin over the Primal Pattern. Apparently, the world is dissolving at about one half-foot per minute, radiating outward from the center of Amber's Pattern."--GM
"I'm going to my room to get Regis and two axes. If the Pattern is going down, I'll be damned if I'm not going to cut Ygg down too. That thing pisses me off."--Jordan

"You trump to Ygg, and notice there is someone with their hands laid on Ygg's surface. It appears to be Brand."--GM
"I thrown an axe."--Jordan
"You hit him in the shoulder."--GM
"I throw the other axe."--Jordan
"You hit him in the same arm's elbow. The forearm is lopped off. What do you do now? You're out of axes and still 30 feet away."--GM
"I throw Regis."--Jordan
"Aaaahhh!!!!"--Regis

"The unconscious person wearing Angus' clothes appears to be Chance."--GM
(Cathryn steps outside to let out a bloodcurdling scream.)

"We don't have enough people we don't like that are useful as pattern eraser fluid."--Chance

"Dworkin was lobotomized by the destruction of the Primal Pattern."--GM
"Hey, think he wants to die as the hero that destroyed Finndo's Pattern?"--Ariadne
(Long Pause as the thought of gutting a lobotomized old man over Finndo's pattern Sinks in.)
"GOD, that's cold."--GM
"But will it WORK?"--Chance

"That's one down, how do we get rid of Brand's pattern?"--Vince
"Could someone get the Jewel and teleport to the Center of Brand's Pattern and walk it in reverse?"--Ariadne
"Boy, you are just MI Ster? Idea today, aren't you?"--GM

"You have to get someone who isn't currently mentally traumatized who can first walk Corwin's pattern, use it to attune the Jewel of Judgement, teleport to the center of Brand's Pattern, and then walk it in reverse to erase it. That mean's Selena."--GM
"What about me?"--Chance
"Two reasons: one, you just got blown out of a fifth story window to land on the cobblestone courtyard below, so you feel terrible -- two, none of the elders would trust you as far as they could comfortably spit a rat."--GM
"Caine would."--Chance
"Caine likes you, but that doesn't mean he's stupid."--GM

"You are perhaps 4 more steps from the end of Brand's Pattern, and you are absolutely locked into place, unable to go on."--GM
"I go on."--Selena

"I grab hold of Finndo's tunic and shove him back towards the pattern."--Vincent
"Finndo's blade flashes, you're arm goes numb, and you watch you're right hand fly into the air."--GM
"I grab him with my LEFT hand and shove."--Vincent

"Why is it that every climatic battle between two powerful psychic minds ends up as a fist fight?"--GM
