Ganaroth?:
Yo!
I'll be right there.
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Okay,
sorry. Just had to finish off a chamber in "Fixing Broken
Relationships if You're a Greek God Simulator."
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Yup,
that's the one.
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
So
what's up? How are you?
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
I've
got a mod installed that adds in two other gods, Apollo and
Hestia, and Hestia in particular combos with some of the other
existing gods in completely hilarious ways. It kinda makes me feel
bad sometimes, but then I watch the entire room being continually
pulled in my giant lava pool in dying, and remember what joy is.

I'm
good, long hot day at work
|

Vul:
aaaaaa
work

Ganaroth?:
Sorry
about the heat, but I'm glad you made it through. Ugh. Heat. I am
not good with heat at all.

Yeah,

Vul:
manager
bitched for 46ish mins this mornign about how they are going to
retire jan because they got written up officially for not being
able to make others do impossible things with no money
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Is
this the bad manager that we hate?
|
|
|
Vul:
manager
number 3 in 3 years
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Or
is this the good one?
|
|
|
Vul:
nah
the bad manager we hate is who wrote him up
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Well,
I'm sorry about that.
|
|
|
Vul:
I
don't think it's possible to fire a director for burning through
staff to much

Ganaroth?:

Don't ask me to form a predictive model for corporate behavior.

Vul:
if
only the workers of the world would rise up,,, again... except
better this time
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Yeah.
I want a time machine, so that I can re-enact "The Guns of The
South," except for the 1916 Seattle General Strike.
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
I
got to show a friend of mine "The Sage of Tanya the Evil"
yesterday, and I think the last time this guy was so immediately
into a show I recommended was with She-Ra. Which is hilarious,
because those two shows have very, very few commonalities, other
than that I absolutely knew they would be his thing.
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Main
character s the opposite of Adora in every conceivable way except
hair color and being magic. Like, seriously, almost any salient
personality characteristic you could name for Adora is directly
inverted in Tanya.
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Physical
characteristics too, mostly, when I think of it.
|
|
|
Vul:
they
both have a sword
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Oh,
except for they do both have a tendency to screw themselves over
by being the dumbest smart people in their respective worlds.
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Tanya's
sword is ceremonial. She can enchant her bayonet for close combat,
though.

General:
Hey, that's a cool idea for a new kind of tactical military unit.
Write up a formal proposal for me! Tanya: Yes sir! (Thinking: This
is awesome, General dude is gonna think I'm a genius, and Imma
shoot up the ranks for this. Later: General: So hey, I'm putting
you in charge of that unit you designed, and sending you to the
front lines. Tanya: Yes sir! (Thinking "MOTHERFUCKER!")

Last time on D&D, you attended the opening of the summit, in which
Professor Okorion gave a very dry, abortive explanation of the situation
at hand, concerning Garmera's apparent condition. However, while the
room erupted into chaos, the head representative of the Silverfang Cult;
dangerous fanatics who worship their own interpretation of Garmera,
stepped forward and knocked Okorion out. He monologued for a bit about
his holy mission, and how anyone attempting to interfere with Garmera
would be targeted. To demonstrate, a servant who was secretely a member
of the cult slit her mistresses throat on his command. However, as the
conversation went on, it became more and more apparent that whatever
plan this man had, it's barely more than half-baked, and the only likely
consequence is chaos amidst the summit. It seemed suspicious to you.
Regardless, the group jumped from the balcony, ready to confront him.
Sound about right?
=^v^=:
(( we had discusses a bit after
jumping, ra'ven did the go teleport the knokced out guy away, etc ))
|
|
Ganaroth?:
(Ah!
Thanks for reminding me about the teleport. Okay, I'm going to
transport everyone to the map, if that's alright.)
|
vonel:
(( Yep ))
|
|
Ganaroth?:
(Akaiku,
you'll need to find Ra'ven really quick. I couldn't see her
easily. -.-'
|
|
|
Vul:
err,
ddi you copy us to the same map?
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Ah,
sorry, I neglected to get rid of your previous tokens over on this
map. Want me to do that, or do you want to do my custodial duties?
|
|
|
Vul:
eh,
it just breaks scripts if 2 with the same name exist, also the
background is hidden
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
Of
course it is.
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
And
yeah, I know it breaks shit. Thass why I'm going to kill those
tokens.

Ra'ven:
woo
arena
|
|
|
Ganaroth?:
(I;ve
placed you guys over there, but you can feel free to spread out a
bit. Here is the scenario, though: Currently, you don't know who
in the crowd is a cultist. The crowd itself is also here, and is
beginnging to panic, making a rush for the exits, heedlessly
trampling whomever is in their path. Luckily, Ra'ven's quick
action prevented Okorion also being in immanent danger up on the
stage.)
|
|
|
Ra'ven is therefore obligatorally 5
squares from teh stage
|
=^v^=:
(( prob like that ))
|
|
Ganaroth?:
(Those
are units of panicked crowd. The rest of you should probably place
yourselves a bit further away, since Ra'ven chose to deep strike.
But otherwise, all good.)

Rai Patience Cantor is over here,
because that's where she was seated in the audience.

vonel:

|
|
Rai Patience Cantor:
(I
wanted to somehow make being deafened meaningful, at least while
he's around.)
|
|
|
Rai Patience Cantor:
(In
any case, Vayak continues to rant on the stage, threatening the
audience even as they panic, and yells for his men to kill more of
the hostages, apparently under the impression that the rest will
sit down and shut up if this happens. You may continue to talk, if
you wish, but it sounds like some of these people might be in
immanent danger.)

Ra'ven has a thing to shout if the
prof is safely tucked awayish

(( though I really wish I didn't have
a super obnoxious day so I can be more inspired ))

you consider that to be safe.)

Rai Patience Cantor:
(I'm
really sorry about your day PERIOD not question mark. But yeah, as
Akaiku said. Generally the cultists refer to each other as
"Brother," "Sister," etc. Higher ranking members are called Fangs,
and there are rumors of an even higher leadership caste called The
Howling, but if they exist nobody's ever actually caught one.)

evening.)

Asger Vayak seems to hesitate for a
moment, uncertainty crossing his face before rallying. "Holy
Garmera is darkness as well as light, and if those heathens die in
her service, perhaps they too will be welcomed to her side! All
those who serve her are the blessed! All those that defy her are
the damned!"
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"And
yet, nobody here has yet defied her! Some idiot spoke blaspheme! A
thing many must bear to help the cause! This is but a trap!"
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"To
make us show our hand!"
|
|

Asger Vayak:
(Definitely
a bluff check, please.)

Ra'ven so hilariously better at threats

(( also her diplomacy is the same as
her bluf xP ))

(( back ))
|

Asger Vayak:
"I...."
He now looks genuinely nervous. "Sister, your name. Why was I not
told that there would be another pack here?"
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Ra'ven.
And for the same reason I was not told of you, likely. Nobod but
the wolf knows our true force."
|
=^v^=:
(( the problem with deep cover
spycraft! "Wait, who all is a spy again?" ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"...Unfortunately,
that is no longer true, Sister Ra'ven. All of these people here.
They have seen me. And they have seen you, and your companions."
He indicates the rest of you that have jumped down. "I deeply
apologize for this...embarrassing misunderstanding. But the damage
is done now, and if they escape, not only I but your entire pack
will be in danger as well."
|
|
|
Ra'ven gestures at the vips doing the
crazed panic thing
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"And
there is time to escape."
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"You
are willing to abandon your cover in Si En Kelar? Keeping the true
extent of our hand hidden is that important for now?" He seems be
debating internally. He's starting to lean towards your way of
thinking, but he's not quite made a decision yet.
|
=^v^=:
(( ra'ven not really going for
half-assing her ban forever for not wanting to hurt the wolf ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"With
that dumb proclimation, our number that are UNKNOW are more
important then that! Who will keep those who go along with it
afraid?!"
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(That
could either be diplomacy or intimidate, depending on how you say
it, so you get to pick.)
|
|
|
Ra'ven is like, inherently more likely
to accidently come across as intimidating and is way better at it,
so she's probably going to intimidate
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(Well,
make yer roll, then.)
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
|
=^v^=:
(( ironically if he was a wolf she'd
have a +2 to it ))
=^v^=:
(( well, a wolf or similar creature ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(Well,
that was technically a failure, but it was pretty close. So if
anyone else wants to chime in to support Ra'ven's gambit, you can
also make a.... Wait, if he's a wolf you get +2? ...Well, I guess
you succeeded, then.)

never seen that actually matter. I've never seen any bonus LIKE

|
Asger Vayak:
(Damn,
he's a wolf, but this situation is a unicorn.)
|
=^v^=:
(( ya, +2 to bluff, diplomacy and
intimidate on wolf or wolf-like creatures ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"Fuck,
and flaming shit storms..." His eyes dart about, probably making
eye contact with more of his compatriots in the crowd. "Your point
is made, Sister. Hurry, with me. We have an exit from this place
prepared." He gestures for you to follow.
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(Yup.
And crazy enough, highish ranking member of wolf cult has wolf
powers, so... (shrugs))
|
|
|
Vul gives a look at Vul that he
totally recognizes as 'in for a penny in for a pound' which he
uses his helpful headband to at least relay to everyone within 5

Vul:

|

Ra'ven gives a look at Vul that he
totally recognizes as 'in for a penny in for a pound' which he
uses his helpful headband to at least relay to everyone within 5
|
|
|
Ra'ven is, in fact, going to follow
|
At Vayak's word a number of other people in the crowd begin running
towards the stage, trying to avoid the panicked 1%ers who have taken
this as their cue to finally rush the exits in earnest. You can hear a
commotion on the balcony as well, as a number of hidden cultist there
begin shoving people out of the way. It seems as though at least one of
Hector and Yltheria has figured out what you're doing, because Hector is
enthusiatically joining in and shoving people aside, shielding Yltheria
with one arm.
|
|
Asger Vayak frantically gestures
toward the backstage, where several ornate tapestries depicting
the constellations hang from the walls, then runs over to hold it
open, revealing a servant's entrance. "Quickly! Now that they're
running, we'll have that small army in the courtyard after us!"
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"...And
bring the old man. We might be able to use a little leverage in
this situation."
|
|
|
Ra'ven assumes nobody has secured him
as of yet then
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(From
the direction of his gaze, it's clear he means Okorion, and no,
nobody else has secured him. He's out, and you're the closest one
to him.)
|
|
|
Ra'ven inwardly sighs and teleports
him back to her arms
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"Good.
Someone like him doesn't deserve to escape so easily anyway. Now
let's go!"
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(So,
the question is a bit binary, folks, but do you follow him or not?)

Ra'ven is

decides to do

(( we can split up xP ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(I
mean, you don't have to. If you wanted, you could go with them.
Everyone here has multiple characters, so if you want it's
entirely possible to split the party, if you think it's best.)
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(Of
course, if he sees some of the people who are obviously in your
group going with the rich fucks, he might wonder what's going on.
(shrugs))
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(Depends
on how smart the dice are.)
|
|
Clarity looks to Patience, obviously
questioning, while making a move to follow
|
=^v^=:
(( cuz she wasn't till, like mabye
now? ))
vonel:
(( Well for my characters Eileen
would go with it while Perra hangs back looking a bit confused. ))
|
Lucky pushes down the levels to follow
|
|
|
Rai Patience Cantor makes eye contact
with Clarity, and for once the usual animosity is absent, and she
simply nods, rising from her seat, and running towards the
indicated exit.
|
|
|
Rai Patience Cantor:
|
|
|
Clarity adjusts her cape, a serious
look setting on her face, and follows
|
|

Vul is staying with perra

Asger Vayak:
(Aw,
there goes the Vul/Hector synergy.)
|
=^v^=:
(( what about necromancer? ))
=^v^=:
(( what synergy? the silence one was
with ra'ven ))
As the rest of you squeeze through the narrow passage way, Vayak looks
back, a worried expression on his face. "Those other two... you're sure
they won't be caught? They must have an important assignment if they're
willing to split from us in this situation."
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Did
you see them? The look of shock? Others will think we betrayed
them as well."
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
((Synergy:
Ah, right. Necromancer: She and Hector are presumably heading for
the same exit as the cultists on the upper level.))
|
|
|
Vul was, in fact, a bit shocked and
annoyed looking
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"...Oh,
that's actually clever. It actually helps salvage this...
embarrassment. We lean into the idea that we're disorganized and
incompetent, in order to prepare." He shakes his head. "Not enough
thinkers in my pack. We could have used you advising us on this."
He seems genuinely frustrated as he continues to run.
|
He leads you into through a surprisingly mazelike network of servant
corridors, turning to follow arrow markings at each intersection and
only stopping to roughly shove the occasional actual servant to the
ground. You reach a staircase going up, and he begins climbing. He looks
back over his shoulder and says "We have an escape pathway on the roof.
Don't worry, they won't be able to follow."
|
|
Ra'ven is sorta annoyed at having to
carry an unconsious old man up stairs and makes someone actually
strong do it
|
|
|
Eileen will take him.
|
|
|
Ra'ven and her mighty str 9
|
A few minutes later, those of the party who came with the cult find
themselves on the roof, alongside something close to thirty other
people, presumably cultists dressed in plainclothes. Stashed up is a
bag, which he quickly tears open, revealing a hollow glass sphere with a
small pewter wolf suspended in the middle. Cursing, he pricks his finger
with a knife, allowing a drop of blood to land on the globe, where it
disappears save for perhaps the slightest red tinge to the inside of the
sphere. He passes it around to the other cultists, and each of them in
turn hurriedly performs the same action, and by the time the globe gets
to your group, the inside looks as though it contains a thick red mist.
He hands it to Ra'ven.
|
|
Ra'ven isn't about to not do such a
thing, and has her convinet stash of sharp needles
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(*Stashed
up there is a bag that VAYAK quickly tears through.)
|
Riot:
(( uhhhh ))
|
|
Ra'ven has no idea what it''ll do but
like, she's totally going to go first since she got everyone else
into this mess!
|
|
|
Ra'ven gestures to Elieen, "They don't
bleed."
|
|
Yltheria tugs on Lucky's sleeve and
whispers to her. "It should be okay. The blood is just fuel here.
It will be consumed when the device activates. There won't be any
thanic or thaumaturgic link."
|
|
|
Ra'ven idly wonders if her extremely
linked to various places blood messes with such things
|
|
|
Lucky whispers back to Yltheria, "I'm
more worried about where we're going."
|
=^v^=:
(( ironically literally into the
wolf's den ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"Does
she not have an internal fluid system? Argh. Ok, we should still
have enough power. If you don't have fluid, shave off a little
metal and through it on there. We can get that fixed later."
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
*throw
it on there.
|
Riot:
(( yeah into the middle of the
cultists I assume ))

(( I mean ya, but doesn't this seem
like an all-hands-on-deck situation in the first place? ))
=^v^=:
(( ya know, for the cultists? ))
|
|
Hector Achilon:
"Oh,
don't worry. I'm sure their base is just like every other Den that
we've seen."
|
|
|
Hector Achilon:
"They're
not trying to impress us, we're not trying to impress them. We're
just trying to get away from an angry mob. Right?"
|
|
|
Hector Achilon says that with a bit of
a side-eye towards Lucky.
|
|
|
Ra'ven hands the others some of her
trademarked sharps as fuck needles
|
|

Eileen can and will add a drop of the
liquid in her when it comes time for her to do so.
|
|
|
Hector Achilon:
Yltheria
and Hector do as well.
|
|
|
Clarity trusts Patience, despite
everything, and immediately provides a drop of blood.
|
|
|
Rai Patience Cantor does so without
hesitation.
|
|
|
Lucky follows everyone else's example,
even if she's clearly not the happiest about it.
|
|
|
Yltheria whispers, in a flat tone from
next to you. "...I'm glad you came."
|
|
|
Lucky reaches down and squeezes
Yltheria's shoulder in reassurance.
|
|
|
Asger Vayak nods as the last bit of
blood and/or fluid touches the glass, then places it on the
ground, followed by a swift stomp that shatters the glass.The
crimson mist whirls around the now-freed figure of the wolf, which
opens its mouth in an enormous yawn...
|
Discontinuity.
|
|
Vul even gets to have a sweet masion
and tell the others wtf just happend with Perra
|
You think you remember seeing some kind of swirling vortex of distorted
space erupt from the figurine's mouth, and the forms of the others
around you distorting and bleeding into each other. Something strange
and primally disturbing lurks at the edges of your vision, but before
you manage to get a good look at it, all of you have passed out. When
you awaken, the other cultist are coming to all around you as well, in
what appears to be some kind of affluent dining room, complete with
expensive looking furniture and a table fully set with silver utensils
and crystal glasses. Food has been set out, still warm and fragrant, but
nobody else is in the room.
|
|
Vul continues blisfully unaware that
he missed out on a sweet spread of food
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"Ha...
ha.... Made it. And as you said, the message has been sent.
Without even having to lose a man. Normally I don't welcome other
Fangs involving themselves in how I run this pack, but I have to
admit that you probably saved from a fatal mistake back there."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Interesting
way to travel."
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"It's
awful. But many of Holy Garmera's gifts are. And, importantly, it
can't be traced like normal teleportation magic. The Yawn effect
rips through the surrounding magic, making it into useless,
unreadable hash. So despite the discomfort... very useful."
|
|
|
Eileen:
"Indeed."
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"According
to my contact, the devils are... less unified than they
traditionally have been at this moment. It wouldn't surprise me if
we're just dealing with different factions. Certainly they can't
be TRUSTED. But yes, the execution of the plan was mine. The
objectives came from above, though."
|
=^v^=:
(( question, was hector able to see
that devil possession on that person we had rescued before? ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"I
was told to deliver a warning against interference in unambiguous
terms, as a public statement. The how was left to me, and yes, I
may have chosen poorly. I'm not too proud to admit it."
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
((He
was, yes, but he had to look her over thouroughly first. He
cannot, as far as you know, simply tell at a glance. Although now
that he's done it once, it might be faster next time.))
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
"Ah,
that's not so suspcious then..." she nods, "Good good. Also...
while we are at that," she turns to Hector, "Can you chieck our
Dean of Bad Decisions here for that possession we ran across
earlier?" She gestures to the Prof
|
Riot:
(( lol Dean of Bad Decisions ))
Riot:
(( who is he, the Dean from Community?
))
=^v^=:
(( no Dean Venture ))
Riot:
(( Ohhh also true ))
Riot:
(( movie was great btw ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
"Hmm?
Oh, your faction is using those pills as well? By all mean, look
the idiot over. Don't feel like you have to be too gentle."
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
((Fucking
love Dean of Bad Decisions.))
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
((Okay,
deserved or not, Okorion is getting that as a title under his name
now.))
|
Riot:
(( lmao ))
=^v^=:
(( who else do you call upon to make
a timid Space Jam invading alien announcement ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
Snrk.
|
=^v^=:
(( You are now all our prisoners, we
are making a giant laser to blow up the moon(wolf) ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
|
Riot:
(( lol fine by me ))
vonel:
(( Sure ))
=^v^=:
(( ya sorry bout that ))
Riot:
(( was NOT expecting it to play out
that way and am currently unsure of what to do myself lol ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
I
seriously did not expect Akaiku to do that. Don't apologize!
|
Riot:
(( in a good way though ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
((Exactly.
I love when this happens. It's extra work for me, but it's the
kind of work I actually enjoy. I'm pleased as hell.))
|
Riot:
(( big fan of the unexpected +2 that
made it work ))
Riot:
(( off an ability that apparently
never does anything ))
=^v^=:
(( yaa, the prof said everyone who
wasn't working to stop the new wolfs was an enemy who was going to be
like, excommunicated and possibly killed ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(Right?!?!?!interrobang!)
|
=^v^=:
(( I mean i didn't even make a button
for it ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
There
was little reason to.
|
=^v^=:
(( I'm goign to make one right now in
honor if it actually coming up ))
|
|
Asger Vayak:
(I
think that's deserved.)
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
But
yeah, don't apologize. When thinks get a little bit out of control
is when D&D is at its best.

Successfully created or modified the
Wait..
Wolves.... macro!
|
|
Ra'ven:
|
Trigger:
She makes a bluff/intimidate/diplomacy
check vs something that is a wolf or wolf-like creature.
|
|
Effect:
She gets a +2 to the check
|
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
THERE
BUTTON
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
Anyway,
thanks, folks. I'm actually pretty motivated to work on the new
stuff as a result of this.
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
Hahaha,
yeah.
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
I'd
put an interrobang in that but I'm honestly not sure it wouldn't
blow everything up
|
|
|
Riot:
That
was very wild and interesting
|
|
|
Riot:
Excited
to see what happens as a result
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
Me
too!
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
ya,
still feeling a big sheepish for the seeming yanking the party
along in a wierd direction
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
It
can't just be "Oh, you're at there base, now you fight them there
instead of where you were." I have to figure out what the story
does instead.
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
I
mean
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
Well,
I can't stop you from feeling sheepish, but I really appreciated
it.
|
|
|
Ra'ven wants to find out why they are
doing dumb things! Maybe there is a conspiricy!
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
Yeah,
this is an opportunity to do things that I hadn't planned, and
maybe find out information I hadn't intended to reveal yet.
|
|
|
Riot:
No
need to feel sheepish, it was very interesting
|
|
|
Ra'ven is also secretly smug that a
bunch of rich people technically owe her their liives
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
Ha.
|
|
|
Ra'ven:
I
mean most of them will blow it off, but some might feel twinges of
honor or something
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
Actually,
that's my one regret about this incident. I had this whole
mechanic for the fight surrounding these VIP swarms planned out,
where they are basically a menace to both you and the enemies, so
herding them around sorta becomes key, and now I don't get to use
it. But this is worth it.
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
And
yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them remember you, and
are grateful.
|
|
|
Ra'ven is pretty stands out in a
croudy-y, also totally DID jump up on stage
|
|
|
Riot:
We
all also have these shiny new uniforms
|
|
|
Ra'ven feels bad for making Paitence's
new plan way more complicated but consoles herself in that she
didn't technically tell them to come
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
Patience
doesn't feel that bad. She's busy calculating how she can use this
to make even more profit than she'd planned.
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
Okay,
gonna get going, but thanks for the delightful little surprise
this session. Be super well! Also, I'm going to try to actually
pay attention to discord this week. -.-'
|
|
|
Asger Vayak:
So
contact with me might actually be possible. Kay, night!
|
|
|
Riot:
I
mean if we pull something crazy off, it's pretty much a rousing
success Patience could use to sell our services even more
|
Riot is disconnected.
