“It’s kind of like a Freudian sofa...”

 

“We all remember hell, dickweed.”

 

“I can’t believe we created the first Nephandi.  We’d better keep that one on the Q.T.”

 

As we read about the Order of Hermes’ last attempt to defeat Al-Ashwad:

“You get the feeling that a lot of fire was involved...”

 

“Basically it was a direct pathway to That Which Should Not Be.”

 

“You touch the door?  Okay, soak eight.”

“How does Cui know what spinal fluid smells like?”

“He remembers hell.”

 

“I’m not sure we’re addressing the real problem of how to get through the open, unlocked door.”

“Actually, we’re saving that for next session.”

 

“I’ve got it!  Why don’t we rip a hole in the wall next to the open door?”

(Sadly enough, this was said with complete seriousness...)

 

“I can’t believe I’m gathering successes to turn a wall into cheese.”

 

“Hey, it’s not my problem I can’t control my P’o!”

 

“Life goes in, essence comes out!  That’s what killing Avatars is all about!”

 

“Given the slight smile on the Storyteller’s face, I think we should pick the other door.”

 

Cui’s dark side takes over his consciousness:

The Dabu Six’s goal of killing Al-Ashwad freaks out Aeoli:

“You said you were looking for someone?”

“Yes.”

“Then you mentioned Al-Ashwad?”

“Yes.  Put it together.”

 

Someone knocks on Aeoli’s door as Kaitlen explains the Dabu Six’s goal:

“As long as your name doesn’t start in Al and end in Ashwad, come in!”

 

“Dear God.  You really are searching for Al-Ashwad, aren’t you?”

“Well, actually, he’s searching for us.  Oops!  Said too much.  So...wanna hang out with us?”

 

“Mark my words, something will be turned to cheese before the night is over!”  (Something was.)

“The Convention of Thorns, huh?  Is that anything like a Star Trek convention?”

 

“Caine’s trying to be a Malkavian?”

 

“Hey, way to piss off the antediluvians, guys!”

“Hey, what-the-slurp!”

 

“Maybe Al-Ashwad really just needs to be loved!”

 

“Are all of his techniques from now on going to burn with the fires of hell?”

 

“If you’re happy and you know it, raise your stats!”

 

“...Or as you’re slowly flaying the skin off your latest victim, does that one last remaining shred of humanity continue to scream out?”
(long pause)  “So do you want to have a kid or not?”

 

“This isn’t a LARP, it’s a sub-LARP.”

 

“Columbus isn’t a Nephandi!”

“That’s why you should never Embrace a moth.”

 

“I’m a goat!  Look at me!  Whoo!”

 

“They all died of scurvy.  Scurvy that blew them up from the inside and drained them of all their blood.”

“Little-known fact: Rock ‘n’ roll equals human sacrifice.”

 

“Hey, with a 5 in Life I can metabolize alcohol faster than anyone!”

 

“I’m feeling the love right now!”

“Speaking of love, I’m carrying your child.”

 

“You’re pregnant?  Let’s go kill this guy!”

 

“Because I’m a traitorous Euthanatos bitch, that’s why.”

 

“Look!  A distraction!”

 

“As long as we’re gonna go down squishing, let’s do the gravity thing.”

 

“Hey, Al-Ashwad, you look tired.  Why don’t you just sleep for a few moments while I guard you with this obsidian knife?”

 

“We could just challenge him to basketball.  Loser forfeits his Avatar.”

 

“I’m attacking the destiny!”

 

“Wow.  I AM dabu.”

 

Kaitlen confronts Al-Ashwad for the last time:

“I suppose you always thought the world would die before you, didn’t you?  Well, after chasing you for centuries, we’ve certainly learned to appreciate a good surprise.  Have you?”

 

“Give the demon some room!”

 

“Spiritual forces beating on a pregnant woman?  Have they no shame?”

 

“Hey, you’ve got the Womb of Steel!”

 

Malkav/Troy’s parting words to us:

“Gosh, you’re cute when you think you have any control over the world.”

 

The perfect ending to the Dabu Six chronicle:

“Um, I hate to bring up this trivial point again, but can I have my body back?”
