[Spring] I know that feeling

[Spring] in my case, long-delayed training

[Master] that is mice

[Master] nice too

[Spring] finally a chance to catch up

[Master] unless it is about mousetraps

[Master] then mice

[Spring] already had the mice today, thanks

[Spring] well a mouse

[Spring] Fez did what cats do all night and morning

[Master] Why do men send unsolicited dick pics? Yeah it is like when a cat brings you a dead mouse. I know you are proud of it but what am I supposed to do with some pitiful thing like that?

[Spring] hahahahaha

[Spring] if only this one had been dead

[Master] ouch

Carissa has received the map ground floor.

[JohnAA] Hello Carissa

[Spring] hi Carissa!

[Master] And also if you need a pen pal, Carissa and TMO are doing an excellent job of showing how it is done

[Spring] well hopefully I’ve done better than 35% this time

[JohnAA] that will never be enough as long as the ladies are playing

[Master] grins at Spring

[Carissa] Hi all and yes! Pen pal-ness is going to be fun. Probably.

[Master] Did you get a package today Carissa?

[Carissa] And way to talk without derailing game.

[Spring] I didn't realize how much I missed last year

[Carissa] Cat sitters say I did! From you then?

[Master] yes

[Spring] yay package!

[Carissa] Aww thanks for whatever it is! I'll find out next Thursday! :)

[JohnAA] Hello Lisa, be warned, Bob is in a good mood

[Carissa] I just say that as I logged in. Thought I'd missed that convo :P

[Lisa] Hello! :)

[Spring] speaking good moods, I prolly better go get the rum

[Master] HAH at John

[JohnAA] for a sec I thought Bob was receiving unwanted pics

Lisa is receiving the map second level and attics...

Lisa has received the map second level and attics.

[Master] I do think that everyone will be here tonight

[Master] the only thing to stop us from starting is if anyone came up with an idea to stop from Dreaming

[JohnAA] well hopefully not EVERYBODY

[Lisa] Mario probably doesn't want to see your package

[Carissa] Ooohh...did I do songs last week? Or forget?

[MarioHome] what time abouts Bobby?

[Carissa] lol

[MarioHome] I have to help John move

[JohnAA] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb2OweNMQvo

[Carissa] Oops oh well. Will do them both this week or next.

[Master] I would like to be there about 1215 or so

[MarioHome] what time should I be at your place?

[Master] where is John moving? when?

[Master] I can help with that

[MarioHome] JoAnn and I got it covered I think

[Master] ok

[Lisa] must be in a good mood

[Lisa] who volunteers to help move?

[Spring] I do

[MarioHome] JoAnn said trad: Ride to train for four patio chairs

[Master] grins

[Master] that works too

[MarioHome] well John and Fam single familied moved me twice, so...

[Master] if you have room for them

[JohnAA] My boss is moving her office out of my house finally

[Master] chuckles

[Carissa] lol

mharm-15549 has joined the game on Fri Dec 28 19:08:26 EST 2018

mharm-15549 is receiving the map ground floor...

[Spring] reclaimed space!!

mharm-15549 has received the map ground floor.

[Spring] hi Michael!

[JohnAA] Hello Michael

[MarioHome] welcome back, dining Room Table!

[MarioHome] Not Michael, the actual dining room table

[Lisa] Hi Michael!

[MarioHome] Hi Michael!

[Lisa] lol

[JohnAA] welcome back walking space

[Spring] hahaha

[Carissa] Hi Michael!

[Spring] yeah that would be an odd epithet

[Spring] you are a scoundrel and a dining room table!

[Spring] ok this keyboard is fired. I don't need help making even more typos than usual

[Lisa] lol

[MarioHome] lol

[MarioHome] Test new chat color

[mharm-15549] Sorry all, I’m on single screen right now

[mharm-15549] Had to plug in briefly to drag the dumb chat window over

[mharm-15549] Hi all

[MarioHome] I hate that

[Lisa] better

[MarioHome] hate moving the chat window

[MarioHome] I kinda like the new color, still diff enuf from others

[mharm-15549] Yeah, it's like klooge things I still have another monito open which gets tricky

[mharm-15549] :)

[Lisa] I would rather move the chat window than John's boss

[mharm-15549] I’m cooking right now, so had to go back to the office

[mharm-15549] oh

[mharm-15549] that sounds bad

[MarioHome] yep, my other laptop is 4k but I run it on a 2k monitor

[mharm-15549] Sorry John?

[Lisa] no moving john's boss is a good thing

[Carissa] Um, is it not normal to usually play with a single screen...?

[MarioHome] when I was in the hotel, I only had the laptop, and the chat window was 'offscreen' and nothing let me get to the window

[Carissa] Or am I in the minority?

[MarioHome] I suppose normal is what you make it

[Spring] John's boss' office is getting moved out of John's house, so that's a good thing

[Lisa] I guess - I have one monitor too

[Carissa] lol good response

[Master] I play with a single screen

[mharm-15549] Lol I'm pampered Carissa

[Carissa] Okay good many of us still in the stone ages ;)

[Master] 32 inches but a single screen

[mharm-15549] I play on a curved 50 inch computer monitor

[Spring] Mario that happened to me last week too

[Master] LOL

[MarioHome] I have two very large ones, but I’m also sight impaired

[Master] chuckles

[mharm-15549] me too Mario

[JohnAA] at work I have three, but also, I am down to one also

[mharm-15549] :)

[Master] far too easy Mario

[MarioHome] go for it

[JohnAA] might make more sense to know my boss is my wife for those not in the know

[Master] so back to the target at hand

[MarioHome] ah, two very large ones', got it

[Spring] I’m single-screening tonight because my monitor is also my TV and I think I want to use it as such

[Master] stopping from dreaming

[MarioHome] genetics, I take no credit

[Master] anyone have any ideas?

[Carissa] Concussion.

[Master] or speculation on how it was stopped last time?

[MarioHome] sleep apnea

[Spring] indigestion

[Master] and how you will be clear headed enough to memorize spells after the night is over

[JohnAA] see the rules do not specific 8 uninterrupted house of sleep

[MarioHome] Stone Pillow

[Lisa] can't remember what happened before we last got sleep

[Master] when you do start spell research that is something that would be fun to create

[JohnAA] only that battling ruins rest

[Carissa] Well if soup Richard let us dream again, maybe we need Richard to help us not dream. If it was him.

[MarioHome] if 8 is all one needs and not interrupted, maybe shake them every fifteen minutes

[mharm-15549] soup Richard?

[mharm-15549] man I missed out last week

[Carissa] Maybe friendly parrying?

[Carissa] Well we almost dreamt, then didn't, then told Camille, and then she had "soup" with Richard and we Dreamed again.

[JohnAA] we don't always battle in our dreams also

[Carissa] If anything is possible in a Dream, why isn't Sleeping? :P

[MarioHome] we don’t need to battle, unless life threatening

[Master] that is a good point

[MarioHome] ahhh.....!

[Lisa] the only thing I see is that we dreamt during the day and then didn't dream at night

[JohnAA] only reason we did anything in our last dream was we wanted to

[mharm-15549] hun

[Master] and Lisa has one also

[MarioHome] yes?

[Lisa] so since we were dreaming during this day maybe we won't dream this night?

[Carissa] Maybe fingers crossed?

TMO has joined the game on Fri Dec 28 19:18:49 EST 2018

TMO is receiving the map ground floor...

[MarioHome] do you mind recapping? what is our goal? getting the coffin out?

[JohnAA] Hellloooo TMOOOOOO

[MarioHome] Hi TMO

[JohnAA] To do list, no plan

TMO has received the map ground floor.

[Lisa] yes - the only way to get it out is a dimension door

[Lisa] Hi TMO :)

[TMO] yo!

[MarioHome] and Dim Door requires sleeping?

[Lisa] yes

[MarioHome] aha

[Lisa] I need to sleep to memorize new spells

[Master] needs 2 Dimension Door spells, one to get in one to get out

[TMO] as does Marisu

[TMO] although her spells are far less necessary

[Carissa] Hi TMO!

[JohnAA] Copying spells is pretty important

[TMO] are we all ready to D&D tonight?

[Carissa] Recap is getting coffin out then open somehow due to the ironwood barrier.

[Carissa] But can't without spells and therefore sleep.

[MarioHome] well, do we? what if we put the coffin into the magic room scroll? then we just need to get in and out. Out comes when we all dream

[MarioHome] we'd have to wait a day

[Carissa] Indigo has that.

[Master] Indigo has the Scroll of Shelter

[MarioHome] sigh

[TMO] is it a Dream, or not?

[mharm-15549] This sounds really really complicated :)

[Carissa] The party didn't want to take everything just in case, remember?

[Lisa] and the whole 10 ft door vs coffin math thing

[TMO] Dream up the Room Scroll!

[Carissa] Good question.

[MarioHome] hypotenuse, Lisa, Hypotenuse

[Lisa] lol

[TMO] A coffin is MUCH smaller than a raft

[TMO] unless this is one seriously big guy

[Lisa] lol

[JohnAA] and did we discuss other ways into the room , say like stone shape?

[MarioHome] or a cannon?

[Lisa] it's a question of whether priests want to cast for that

[TMO] and do we want to take the opportunity to snag more scrolls on the next visit?

[Master] and I cannot believe I did not use this song yet

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXpRxzmawjw

[JohnAA] not that we have either in our current party I bet

[Spring] looking

[Master] so going to type out some awards for people

[Master] Beth was here 2 times to bring her total to 93 games played

[Lisa] I thought we looked at the scrolls in that room

[Carissa] Yes to more scrolls why not and Snee has a death wish so....

Spring is receiving the map second level and attics...

Spring has received the map second level and attics.

[TMO] you have used the Sirens before. Was it that particular song, or did they have another?

[JohnAA] wait, in the dream there is no mist so we can use Etherealness or similar spell to get into the room?

[Master] Rob was here 1 time to bring his total to 122 games played

[MarioHome] Mara has Soften Earth and Stone, not too useful

[Carissa] Ah true if it goes through the walls

[Master] Robert was here 2 times to bring his total to 173

[Carissa] And isn't heavily warded.

[MarioHome] but she can join Ring of Hands and help to cast higher lvl spells

[Master] Sean was here 2 times to bring his total to 322

Lisa claps

[Master] and Guy was here 15 times this year, 31% to bring him to 165 total games played

[Spring] Snee does not have Stone Shape

[Master] and then to those that are here tonight

[Lisa] less than I would have guessed for Guy

[JohnAA] and Mara and Snee are not the same Religion?

[mharm-15549] oh yeah. I forgot it was time of year

[Lisa] no they are

[mharm-15549] huh

[Carissa] Huh good point

[MarioHome] yes, they are, and Mara is totes expendable

[Master] Spring was here for 38 times this year, 77% of the time, bringing her total to 171 sessions played or 14% of all games played out of 1205

[Lisa] Yay!

[Spring] yay!! that's much better than 35%

[Lisa] lol

[MarioHome] yay!

[Master] John was here 41 times for 85% of all games this year, total of 639 total games and 56% of all games played

[Master] TMO and Michael tied this year

Lisa claps

[MarioHome] yay!

TMO fights Michael to the death

[MarioHome] double yay!

[Master] both were here 45 times

[mharm-15549] yay

[Master] for 92% of games played this year

[Lisa] arm wrestling time!

[MarioHome] lol

[mharm-15549] Not to TMO though :)

Carissa more clapping

[Master] Michael is now at 141 total or 12% of all games played

JohnAA saves clapping till end

[Spring] woo hoo!

[Carissa] (Arm wrestle!!)

[MarioHome] nice!

[Master] TMO is now at 289 game played or 24% of all sessions over the last 25 years

[TMO] lordy

[Master] which is damn impressive

[MarioHome] wow

[Lisa] yes!

[TMO] considering I've only been playing 6 or so

[Carissa] 1% short of a quarter. Nice!

[Spring] wowie

[Lisa] very good both of you!! :)

[MarioHome] (still can’t use the gumball machine)

[TMO] awww

[Master] then Lisa was here 47 times out of 48 sessions for 98% of the games played this year, bringing her total to 414 sessions or 34% of all games played

[TMO] although 6 years is almost a quarter of 25, so I'm about right on

[Carissa] Wow

[MarioHome] wow!

[Master] and then we have another tie with Carissa and Mario both at 100% of 48 sessions this year

[TMO] yah, never gonna beat or catch up to Lisa. ;)

[MarioHome] congrats!

[JohnAA] nice

[TMO] WOW

[Lisa] more arm wrestling!!

[Master] Carissa's total is 95 or 8% of all games played

[Carissa] Congrats! Arm wrestling time.

[Carissa] lol to Lisa

[Master] and Mario is at 161 or 13% of all games played

[TMO] n00b!

[MarioHome] lol

[Master] Thank you to everyone for such a fun filled year

[Lisa] Perfect attendance!! On the ground and in the air!

[Carissa] Yes go us!

[MarioHome] freeze frame High Five!

[Spring] woo hoo y'all!

[TMO] I'm not used to anyone beating Lisa's attendance

[Master] The second time we have had a tie

[Lisa] In Bob's house and on the other side of the globe!

Carissa high fives freeze

[MarioHome] yay airplane Wi-Fi!

[Carissa] Haha

[JohnAA] true world player

[Carissa] Where there's Wi-Fi there's a way

[TMO] true true

[MarioHome] and during two Xmas parties and one anniversary, and a house closing

[MarioHome] all on Fridays

[Master] and 1205 total sessions, heading into our 26th full year and 15 years online is pretty impressive

[Master] all due to you guys

[TMO] extremely

[Master] so thank you

[Lisa] Yes it is!

[MarioHome] good thing Bobby knows my wife

[Lisa] Thank you!

[Carissa] Yes thank you!

[TMO] so, done for the evening then? Thanks for the game! See you all next year!

[MarioHome] PS:: you may have to update the milestone for 2019, with the missed game Dec 14

[Master] will assign XP as you all wrap up debating how to work your way out of this mess

[Master] oh?

[Master] what is the 14th?

[MarioHome] previous to the miss, you stated a date in 2019 as a milestone, it will have moved

[Lisa] I thought Discord session counted

[Master] Ahhh

[TMO] I think he's counting the Discord

[MarioHome] ah, so sorry, my bad

[Master] I am counting Discord session

[MarioHome] all good then., Carry on

[Master] but those are always just mile posts to aim for

[Master] I always go back and recalibrate

[Master] but I will take offers for a bonus game this spring

[TMO] which *could* be used, in case of emergency, if I load a dice roller app onto it. But not ideal by a long shot

[Master] when people want to pick one

[TMO] doesn't have the character info in it. for instance

[Master] and so

[Spring] discord broke my computer

[Master] back to sleep less ness

[TMO] I'm sorry

[Spring] so had to uninstall it

[Master] Dream less ness

[Lisa] we did dream today game time didn't we?

[Master] yes to Lisa

[TMO] watch it turn out that drunken sleep doesn't refresh you enough to learn new spells in the morning.

[TMO] hangovers make study impossible

[Lisa] so we could hope that we will sleep easy without having to pass out

[Lisa] but if not then we or Branwyn stays here until sleep comes

[Lisa] if the group wants to try to beat Drake home

[Carissa] We don't know for certain Drake left yet do we?

[MarioHome] I’m trying to think along the lines of getting the coffin out w/o Dim Door. Like put it in a bag of holding. any magic spells act that way?

[TMO] rope trick

[Master] Branwyn XP award: 7500. Next level in 170464.

[Master] Hugh D'Ambray XP award: 5000. Next level in 84928.

[Master] [Hoffman]] XP award: 5000. Next level in 7397.

[Master] Kenna Westfoot XP award: 5000. Level-up!

[Master] Shi'Nynze XP award: 10000. Next level in 73052.

[Master] Kel XP award: 10000. Next level in 63737.

[Master] [Ilero]] XP award: 5000. Next level in 109457.

[JohnAA] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lISBP_fPg1s

[MarioHome] like where it rides free somehow

[TMO] if you have very strong people to lift it up there. and then it falls out when the spell ends

[Master] No to knowing Drake left yet, it can be guessed that because he stayed to help you with Richard that means he would leave in the morning

[Lisa] Mara and Snee are the priests with spells we don't know about

[Carissa] It'd be nice to ask if he found out anything about Richard if we run into him again..

[Lisa] you know if bran or Marisu had a bag of holding spell we would have used it by now

[Spring] I have a document if I need to post it somewhere

[MarioHome] Mara only has up to level 2 spells, so very weak

[Lisa] If I had any other magical way into that room I would say something

[Spring] it's easier for me to search a document that fool around with a character sheet

[MarioHome] somehow shrink it to pocket size

[mharm-15549] so the problem is this coffin is behind a locked door?

TMO is receiving the map second level and attics...

TMO has received the map second level and attics.

[Carissa] And Branwyn used up spells needing more sleep

[TMO] there's no door

[JohnAA] behind a wall

[Spring] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uWYGDyAEEsE97LDf4xmIAkFUiUbRHAfM4RxKvlL3dcI/edit?usp=sharing

[MarioHome] I

[mharm-15549] bust the wall?

[MarioHome] Mara does have soften stone

[TMO] Richard might notice if we start wholesale demolition

[TMO] "Where did this backhoe come from?"

[Spring] hehehe

[mharm-15549] well can’t use teleport, or dimension door in the mist

[mharm-15549] I tried

[mharm-15549] bob was clear to me on that

[TMO] although my game "Betrayal at Baldur's Gate" does have the item Horn of Blasting. "Where there's a wall and a Horn of Blasting, there's a way."

[mharm-15549] lol

[mharm-15549] like the horn of Jericho

[Carissa] So super cantrip air horn?

[TMO] ayup

[MarioHome] lol

[Master] so I take it the best to hope for is sleeping

[Spring] always a good plan, sleeping

[Spring] plan

[Spring] I did a lot of it today

[mharm-15549] are we sure there is absolutely no other way in? I assume there must be a way for air

[mharm-15549] otherwise you know. He'd be dead by now

[JohnAA] but if we dream there will be no mist

[Lisa] he is dead

[Lisa] undead

[mharm-15549] oh

[mharm-15549] well

MarioHome is receiving the map second level and attics...

[mharm-15549] dream away I guess

MarioHome has received the map second level and attics.

[mharm-15549] I got no idea

[JohnAA] but either way we need Branwyn to sleep

[mharm-15549] to my shame

[mharm-15549] hopefully bob isn't upset

[Lisa] another option is sleeping away from the group?

[JohnAA] and leave you defenseless

[Master] Get used to disappointment

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUczpTPATyU

[Lisa] did chars not with us go to dream with us?

[Master] no to Lisa

[MarioHome] Hmm, any creative way to use Enthrall on Branwyn?

[Lisa] no they did not go or chars not with us in proximity went?

[mharm-15549] Cast nap on her

[Carissa] Anastacia was there, yes? She waved us off when we realized we were in a Dream.

[JohnAA] not long enough duration

[MarioHome] not sure for what purpose, get her to focus tightly

[mharm-15549] two hours and she's good to g

[Carissa] Sadly no one has Nap

[Master] She was there for one Dream but not another

[Master] and so

[Master] moving towards evening

[JohnAA] so back in rooms?

[Carissa] So she was there this last one. I don't remember the other likely my late log in

[MarioHome] Bob, what about Restore Strength

[MarioHome] description says:

[MarioHome] Removes exhaustion and restores strength and STAMINA

[JohnAA] (Great scene)

[JohnAA] and great idea

[Master] double checking now Mario

[MarioHome] one could argue this is not normal exhaustion caused naturally

[TMO] I would suspect not, otherwise prone to abuse

[Master] and no, because it specifically says temporary effects

[Master] and lists probable spells

[MarioHome] one could argue its temp, as sleep would restore her

[MarioHome] but cool

[Master] so anything else before nightfall?

[Master] is someone sleeping elsewhere? and where would that be?

[mharm-15549] Bran is sleeping under heavy guard

[Lisa] bran could try sleeping in the library

[Master] so close

[Lisa] oh please

[mharm-15549] and prevent anyone who attempts to bother her

[Master] cooler

[mharm-15549] uh oh

[mharm-15549] not this game

[Carissa] Thistle wants to sleep in the normal garden.

[Master] I never give you a puzzle without a clue to the solution

[Carissa] Wait. No. The fancy bed in the Living Garden.

[Master] solution

[MarioHome] Mara just wants to be moved closer to tthe group

[Master] HUH

[Carissa] ....Living Garden might be some kinda clue?

[MarioHome] and interesting there is a bed there...

[mharm-15549] Hmmm

[Lisa] it is outside of the castle

[MarioHome] Mara moved 162'11".

[Lisa] I'm game

[Master] you have an hour or two before sleep time

[mharm-15549] question

[TMO] we might attract attention

[Master] certainly

[JohnAA] where do you want Hoffman?

[TMO] why are you sleeping in the garden?

[Lisa] It's outside the castle maybe no one will notice

[mharm-15549] is there an opening in the dream where he is located? Like it's not sealed up in the dream but is in the outside world?

[Lisa] We like sleeping in fresh Mist air?

[Carissa] Thistle just wants to find the unicorn. She found it in the normal garden, but Living Garden has a nice bed.

[Master] no Branwyn had to use Dimension door in the Dream last time also

[Carissa] And we were supposed to go there for some reason anyways.

[JohnAA] not Michael, I tried that already

[Spring] brb putting some SPAM on :-)

[mharm-15549] ok

[Master] grins at Lisa

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] OK so the plan is to sleep in the Living Garden

[Master] who goes where?

[TMO] have a party, get drunk, sleep in the garden

[Thistle (Carissa)] I want the bed! It's fun to jump on!

[TMO] sounds like a frat party

[Master] ask Branwyn or Marisu about memorizing spells with a hangover

[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Um, the bed in the Living Garden. You guys know there is one there?

[Thistle (Carissa)] More comfortable than the ones they gave us.

Hoffman (JohnAA)] maybe I should stay close to Anastasia?

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBkHHoOIIn8

[Thistle (Carissa)] You'd break the bed if you jumped on it.

[MarioHome] Time out:: Bob, please check Dispel Fatigue

[Master] yes?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be nice Hoffman. Her bed does need to be protected

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) looks funny

Marisu (TMO)] I suppose she does too.

[Master] Sorry Mario, that only works for Encumbrance issues

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The books

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They're under the mattress

[MarioHome] grrr...thanks

Marisu (TMO)] (nice try though)

[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Fatigue

Hoffman (JohnAA)] oh, does she know or is this some sort of test?

[Master] very good to know for the future though

Marisu (TMO)] They're much bigger than a pea

Hoffman (JohnAA)] she is not an average princess

Hoffman (JohnAA)] maybe not bigger but...

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Spring] how. do. I. lose. anything. in. 92 square feet?!?!?!

Marisu (TMO)] (so many insults, so much not the character to use them)

Mara (MarioHome) follows the team

Thistle (Carissa) disappeared from sight

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] I can handle you, looking at Hoffman

Hoffman (JohnAA)] Do we expect dinner to be delivered?

Branwyn (Lisa) follows the ones that know where they are going

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (did we get the chance to eat?)

[Master] yes

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Maybe one sleep in bed and one sleep out regarding Mara/Bran? Dunno what specifically will happen with sleeping there?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I am not liking this music)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Unless the spot something special with the bed)

[Master] Who is in the bed other than Branwyn?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (I didn't have volume up. Sigh. Dreaming.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hoping it is a Hoffman/Anastacia dream state)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Thistle)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (so it's not just me hearing it)

Marisu (TMO)] (where is Marisu?)

[Master] out in the gardens

[Mara (MarioHome)] Mara can sleep on the grass

[mharm-15549] I effing LOVE THIS AMBIENCE

[mharm-15549] BOB YOU HAVE TO KEEP THIS!!!!!

Marisu (TMO)] (I was just wondering if there was space in the bed for her)

[Master] smiles at Michael, I will use it judiciously so it does not lose its sparkle

[mharm-15549] Bob I get goosebumps

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Branwyn can sleep on the ground - no big thing)

[mharm-15549] I love it

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Probably if Marisu wants. Big bed)

[mharm-15549] It keeps me really engaged

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (send Michael the sound files after?)

[Master] Who is in the bed other than Branwyn?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

Marisu (TMO)] (Marisu if there's room)

[mharm-15549] You're mocking me :(

[mharm-15549] I'll let it drop promise

[Thistle (Carissa)] (With a pun so all good, right? ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it was the dream song - I kid but not mock!)

[Master] OK so Thistle, Branwyn and Marisu in the bed the rest on the grounds around it

[mharm-15549] :)

Marisu (TMO)] (let the drinking begin)

[Master] and so to Hoffman

[Master] who is Dreaming

[Mara (MarioHome)] I can play lullaby music if you'd like

[Master] what do you want to do?

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (but do I know it yet?)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (Anastasia there?)

[Master] no

[mharm-15549] guys I gotta be right back. Restroom

Hoffman (JohnAA)] well,

[Master] ok

[Master] the moons are bright, the stars shine

[Mara (MarioHome)] (deep in Texas?)

[Master] make a dex check

[Thistle (Carissa)] (clap clap clap clap!)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] [Hoffman]]: BAL check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

Marisu (TMO)] (it's actually kinda cold and cloudy here today)

[Master] Hoffman starts to stumble and catches himself but realizes he was moving faster, like at the speed of thought rather than the speed of walking

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Cold and windy, but not cloudy in Dallas. It's lame)

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) thinks for a sec, can I fly

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) continues to walk more carefully

[Master] floats a bit

[Master] them settles back down

Marisu (TMO)] (Ilero would be so disappointed in you)

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) waits till he is outside to try that again

[Master] and Hoffman is suddenly outside

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) looks around to find entrance to Garden

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) thinks no wait, I just have to think about living gardens right

[Master] it is all open outside of the Manse

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) thinks of flying to this garden bed

[Master] ZOOOOOM

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) slowly landing

[Master] and is out over the bed in the garden (not going to do that to you for grammar and put you over tulips)

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) looks around for anyone

[Master] all are there sleeping peacefully

[mharm-15549] ooooooh

[Thistle (Carissa)] (You wake them and Thistle will attack)

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) claps a little to himself

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) lands near them but not too close, softly

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) on guard patrol

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) imagines the night passing uneventfully

[Master] Time of Day: 07:36 AM. Day 16 Mid ___ tre, Eap {Late Fall} 16th, 345 SKR.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (wow!)

[Master] Hoffman wakes up in his bed

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) thinks did I dream them sleeping or were they really sleeping?

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) jumps up and checks on Anastasia

[Master] moving about the room

Hoffman (JohnAA)] so sorry, are you ok?

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] You were really sleeping

Hoffman (JohnAA)] was I ?

[Master (to GM only)] Anastacia Eustace's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 51 (3) - Lightly Wounded

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] I think we need to go find the others, they might not have fared as well as you did

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] at least you got sleep

Hoffman (JohnAA)] Wait, I did?

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] they were probably eaten by bugs

Hoffman (JohnAA)] Are you ok?

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] (no to John)

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] of course

Hoffman (JohnAA)] But you were sick?

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] it was just something I ate

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] it goes away

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] not like it lasts forever

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) slaps himself

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] unless it is that wasting sickness from the leeches

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] that can kill you

Hoffman (JohnAA)] can I look under your mattress?

Anastacia Eustace (Master) quirks an eyebrow but nods

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) looks under mattress

[Thistle (Carissa)] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ2oe8SgUS8)

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] books are there

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nneEIX59I8

Hoffman (JohnAA)] ok, maybe one of us should stay here, I told Branwyn I would guard these

Hoffman (JohnAA)] You know your way?

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] So you should stay here

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) sits on bed

Hoffman (JohnAA)] Have fun

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Better not be the Grey Death, princess)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] tell them I think they are fine, I saw them sleeping, I think

[mharm-15549] (Lol. Have fun)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] let me know if you walk too fast

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (he is a little drowsy I am sure)

Anastacia Eustace (Master) shakes her head at Hoffman

Marisu (TMO)] (getting food, brb)

[Anastacia Eustace (Master)] (yes did not get any sleep last night)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GztV3yWNJJw

Marisu (TMO)] (food not ready yet. :( )

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) closes his eyes for just a sec

[Master] For the rest in the gardens

[Master] you wake up well rested

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Cool

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) shakes his head and stands up

Thistle (Carissa) yawns and stretches

[Snezana (Spring)] first decent sleep in this place

[Thistle (Carissa)] This bed is comfy.

[Marisu]] (TMO) rolls over and curls up.

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (with whom?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] lol

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (those aren’t pillows)

Marisu (TMO)] (Mara climbed into bed?)

Mara (MarioHome) wakened by the noise, stretches

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is wonderful! Now we can memorize new spells, open that coffin and get out of this place!

[Mara (MarioHome)] (wow!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] But there was still no unicorn....

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) lays down

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) thinks they can't take the books with waking me

[Master] Con check for Hoffman

[Master] brb

Hoffman (JohnAA)] [Hoffman]]: Endurance check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

Thistle (Carissa) pokes Marisu

[Marisu]] (TMO) slaps at Thistle's hand in her sleep.

Branwyn (Lisa) sits down by one of the fountains and takes out her spell book

Thistle (Carissa) grins and starts bothering her more

Marisu (TMO)] ..mmmwhat?

[Thistle (Carissa)] It's morning!

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Marisu]] (TMO) sighs

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh. Did you want to sleep in?

[Mara (MarioHome) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Kel modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Grandma never lets me sleep in.

[Marisu]] (TMO) mutters, "no..."

[Thistle (Carissa)] Wait we could have slept in??

Thistle (Carissa) stops bothering Marisu and curls up next to her

[Snezana (Spring)] we have stuff to do!

[Master] (new argument for the Oxford Comma: At Milwaukee’s cat cafe, you can eat, drink and pet cats. )

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I like " I hereby grant my estate to Bill, John and Cathy

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Bill gets 50 percent

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol just reread it. Nice!)

[Master] anyone else have something to do this morning?

Marisu (TMO)] (study)

[Snezana (Spring)] (traveler meets Nelson Mandela, poacher and porn star)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] what???

[Marisu]] (TMO) finally disengages from Thistle and gets out her own spells to research.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Haha)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I pull my attention way for two seconds and we talking about porn stars?

[Snezana (Spring)] (I made up the last two, I can't remember the real headline)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] what the heck

[Snezana (Spring)] (but it was funny)

Thistle (Carissa) takes up whole bed to keep sleeping

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) tries to dream about sleeping

[Mara (MarioHome)] (lol)

[Master] Hoffman tosses and turns with a pain in his back from something under the mattress, must be a pea

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] lol

[Thistle (Carissa)] (A princess this whole time! I knew it!

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (no such spell)

Marisu (TMO)] (now time to get fud)

Thistle (Carissa) still sleeping in bed

[Branwyn (Lisa)] THISTLE!

Thistle (Carissa) jolts awake

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We're leaving!

[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm up grandma! I'm up!

Thistle (Carissa) rubs eyes.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (ouch!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh. Um, five more minutes?

[Mara (MarioHome)] I can stay behind with her, if you all want to go ahead

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You can stay out here if you like actually. I just have a date with a coffin.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thanks!

Thistle (Carissa) falls back on the bed to try to sleep

Branwyn (Lisa) heads back to the castle

[Mara (MarioHome)] A flip of the ol' kLoOge.Coin results in: Heads

[Master] the manor house is starting to stir

[Mara (MarioHome)] nah, she will be ok. what could happen to her?

[Mara (MarioHome)] follows the party

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

Snezana (Spring) coming along

[Mara (MarioHome)] (coffin vs unicorn? coffin wins today!)

[Snezana (Spring)] (coffin absolutely)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yay?)

[Master] So where is Branwyn heading?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (back to her rooms so she can clear some space for the landing

[Master] ok

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (yes)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (trying to stick the landing)

Branwyn (Lisa) gets back to the room and to ask Hugh and Hoffman to move the beds so there is enough room to arrive with the coffin without running into anything

[Master] So Branwyn enters the rooms seeing that Anastacia is gone and Hoffman tossing on her bed

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Hugh rushes to help

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hoffman!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Hoffman

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] lol

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) stumbles out of bed and to the hall looking for food

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Shocked

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) and Bewhildered

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] *Oof Bad spelling over here :) *

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That was strange. Thank you for helping with that.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope he isn't dreaming now

[Master] (this song is actually a nice way of wrapping up this story arc now that I think of it)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (::Smiles::)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hehehehe)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe we can move the beds and then you can go make sure he is okay.

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Nods distractedly still staring after Hoffman in surprise

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (is breakfast here?)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Moves into action

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Moves beds

[Master] yes to Hoffman

Marisu (TMO)] back

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Harder to check links on laptop but guess I'll check this one)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) sits on floor and starts eating very sloppy

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Ooh love this song, too)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh if the theme is waking up now instead of dreams - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIgZ7gMze7A )

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Oh my god bob. I should have guessed you would post that

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) goes to next plate and keeps eating

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no one loves this song though)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Hahah actually admit I do. It's still catchy)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (wonders if anyone else would get the reference "took the deal")

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I loved it when I was 14 :-) )

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Okay admittedly it might be more nostalgia while I like it, yes :) )

[Master] no one around these parts John

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (it is kinds snappy)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (::smiles::)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I loved Wham - I will admit)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (anyway)

[Master] so you are all together in the rooms

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] righto

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can no one step in this empty space until I get back please? I'll be back in just a minute or two

[Master] except for Anastacia who is out doing what ever

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (I'm still in hallway)

[Master] nods to John hallway counts

Marisu (TMO)] (meteor strike)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Thistle isn't still sleeping in the gardens left behind?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] preparing to backstab us

Marisu (TMO)] (dragged along)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (snicker snicker)

[Snezana (Spring)] sure

Branwyn (Lisa) stands in the middle of the room memorizing the spot

Snezana (Spring) stays well clear of the space

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Haha toss her over your shoulder and carried her to the rooms?)

[Snezana (Spring)] I will even start now

Branwyn (Lisa) shakes her head and then visualizes the lab

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Watching with intense excitement to meet the man at last!

Branwyn (Lisa) closes her eyes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Dimension Door: I can teleport up to (30*11) 330 yards away.

[Master] INTO the lab we go

Marisu (TMO)] *she

Branwyn (Lisa) slowly opens her eyes and looks at the coffin

[Master] still sitting there

Marisu (TMO)] (the mimic attacks!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOLOLOL

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] TMO Made my night

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LdUme7QZLY)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hahaha)

Marisu (TMO)] (a very wily mimic, waiting until its prey arrives alone and defenseless)

Branwyn (Lisa) gives it a pat "Ready to take a little trip? We'll get you out of here"

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] But I want the Drake Armor Set TMO!

Branwyn (Lisa) wraps her arms around the coffin tightly and closes her eyes again

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Dimension Door: I can teleport up to (30*11) 330 yards away.

Branwyn (Lisa) opens her eyes

[Master] and POOOF the guest room is suddenly full with a coffin and Branwyn

Branwyn (Lisa) whispers "That wasn't so bad, was it?"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Now for the ironwood.

[Master] Time of Day: 08:36 AM. Day 16 Mid ___ tre, Eap {Late Fall} 16th, 345 SKR.

[Snezana (Spring)] whoo there it is!

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Grins widely

Branwyn (Lisa) takes Etienne's books out from under Anastacia's bed and places them out

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) continues to eat

Marisu (TMO)] The maid will have a fit

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Snezana, do you want to try to either warp the wood or cast a dispel?

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (Oh yea)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (leave a big tip)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you feel comfortable trying.

[Snezana (Spring)] dispel has biggest chance of success I think

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Otherwise, I can see if Petit-Singe found something.

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (bless first, Mara chant)

[Snezana (Spring)] I have no idea how powerful the person who cast ironwood might have been

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If anyone wants to wait outside they can

[Mara (MarioHome)] Mara casts a spell against : Chant: For as long as I chant, friends in a 30' radius receive a +1 to attack, damage and save rolls while enemies receive a -1 to the same rolls. NOTE: Not available.

[Marisu]] (TMO) shakes her head.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm not sure what his mood is going to be if he regains consciousness

[Snezana (Spring)] somebody maybe should keep a lookout in case someone hears the chanting

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (at least he got sleep)

[Snezana (Spring)] distract them

[Mara (MarioHome)] Mara is a She

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (he in the coffin)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Family looks out

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (but that explains a lot)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Even if you know

[Mara (MarioHome)] oh...:0?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] he's dead

[Mara (MarioHome)] lol

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'll stay

Hoffman (JohnAA)] ( I goota say to whole Who /Wu thing did not work well at work)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He'll probably be asleep if we do open it. So we should have some time

[Snezana (Spring)] (having window probs with my dice panel, just a sec)

Branwyn (Lisa) steps back so Snee can cast

[Snezana (Spring)] (okay got it)

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) leans back against wall

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) pats belly and burps

[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Dispel Magic - Priest: I dispel (11-(1d20)+7) [1d20=8] 10 level magic.

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (+1?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (crosses fingers)

[Master] With a chant to give you a plus 1 (5%) means it is 11th level magic and not good enough sorry

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (told you bless first)

[Snezana (Spring)] (good thing I didn't try warp wood)

[Carissa] I am away from the keyboard.

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (may not have mattered)

[Snezana (Spring)] (oh I didn't see the bless suggestion, sorry)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (ah, my bad, still chanting, just in case another attempt is made)

[Snezana (Spring)] (shall I bless and then try again?)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (rolling better would have helped too ;) )

[Mara (MarioHome)] (I was distracted with the Mara is a She thing)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (you can cast Dispel again?)

[Snezana (Spring)] (yup only once more)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] ( I see no reason not to, anyone?)

[Mara (MarioHome)] chanting

[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Bless/Curse: For 6 rounds, attack rolls and saves vs fear receive a +1 bonus.

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) snoring

[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Dispel Magic - Priest: I dispel (11-(1d20)+7) [1d20=8] 10 level magic.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (ughghghghg)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (random rut)

[Master] with a plus one from the Bless and plus one for the chant (so +10%) means you dispel level 12 magic

[Snezana (Spring)] (hrm)

[Master] and the coffin shimmers and turns to normal oak

[Mara (MarioHome)] (yay!!!)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (HA!)

[Snezana (Spring)] wow!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You did it!!

[Mara (MarioHome)] (still chanting)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wonderful!!

[Snezana (Spring)] Attack: Dagger/Dirk:: is now ARMED.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hugh? Your sword to open it?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Nods

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "I'll try"

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Attempts to Open

[Branwyn (Lisa)] just be careful

Marisu (TMO)] (Hugh RAMS his sword all the way through the lid at full strength)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] uh

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] no

[Mara (MarioHome)] (rofl!)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (watch out for that last nail)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Carefully leverages and applies pressure

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (this is his relative!)

Marisu (TMO)] (this is how he becomes Head of House, right?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Snezana (Spring) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Snezana modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOL

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he's got the ring)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) That I’m giving right back

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I don't plan on Game of THroning my relative

[Mara (MarioHome)] (you sure are!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] :)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so coffin opens ...)

[Master] The cover to the coffin slides off and clatters to the floor with a billow of dust

Branwyn (Lisa) coughs

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (I told people today if Supernatural was like GoT, the brothers would be sleeping together)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Can assume someone carried Thistle and tossed her on a bed to keep napping?)

[Marisu]] (TMO) waves a cantrip to brush the dust out of the air.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Hello Mother

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX3uCuFKlqw

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) sits up

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Etienne?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Sorry boyo, Distant relative but not mother

[Snezana (Spring)] is anybody here Mother?

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) pauses you are not Mother

[Thistle (Carissa)] (because if she's there she's about to scream)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No we can get her.

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Stares up and down at himself

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Who are you?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "That would be a no"

[Mara (MarioHome)] https://youtu.be/-1s38H2-WKI

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] We're here to save you

Marisu (TMO)] May I make introductions?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Hugh gestures to Marisu

[Mara (MarioHome)] (should Mara keep chanting, in case battle ensues?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] My comrades in arms and my liege can make introductions

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Battle

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] no

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Bows

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Steps back

[Snezana (Spring)] Attack: Dagger/Dirk:: is NO LONGER ARMED.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Dunno what if this vampire also hates priests?)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Did Hazelthorn send you?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (May be safer to stop)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Your mother sent us

[Mara (MarioHome)] stops chanting

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you know how long you have been in there?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I have been reaching out to anyone I could

Thistle (Carissa) whispers, "A really long time. He looks OLD."

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Smiles grimly

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I have been locked away for a long time

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "Indeed"

Thistle (Carissa) keeps whispering, "At least thirty years."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Who did this to you?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "I do believe you have some business with your family. Ah...

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Stares at himself

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "Your other family

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Who are you?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Introduce yourself Bran! You’re the m aster here)

Branwyn (Lisa) curtseys "Branwyn the Mysterious"

[Thistle (Carissa)] The Bright!

[Mara (MarioHome)] The contessa!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] And M'lady

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Smiles broadly

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Steps forward and hands the ring back

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hugh D'Ambray

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Countess Marisu Doeskin

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "Please take this. I'm not worthy of the Burden"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (jump on in Marisu)

[Marisu]] (TMO) curtsies as well.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Sorry, didn't mean to interrupt intro)

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) takes the ring looks at it,

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Didn' Camille keep it?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (just checking, sorry don't remember)

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) slips it onto his finger

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] She handed back

[Mara (MarioHome)] (turns into Megatron)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have your books as well

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] told me to keep it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Richard had them

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Oh good! That was another night I missed half. Thanks!)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] OH

Branwyn (Lisa) gestures to the bed

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) sits up straighter

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Did he do this to you?

[Mara (MarioHome)] (the bed did this?)

Marisu (TMO)] (sneaky bed!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (I am so glad to have that ring gone. Seriously was giving me heartburn)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (::cough laugh::)

Marisu (TMO)] (lying there all innocent like the whole time!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (No thanks to you bob :) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Richard - where we got the books!)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (lol)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] no Richard

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sighs)

Marisu (TMO)] (the bed/mimic attacks!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Thistle (Carissa)] The unicorn lady? She's not evil, is she? She has a unicorn.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Richard is not powerful enough to do this to me, only Hazelthorn could do this to me

Marisu (TMO)] The General from the dream?

Marisu (TMO)] He was a real person?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] General? Dream?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] OH

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] you heard me

[Marisu]] (TMO) nods.

Marisu (TMO)] A few times.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] lol

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] The great mage Hazelthorn joined me in my studies

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) snores and coughs a bit

Marisu (TMO)] [Marisu]]: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Say the word and we can assist you in ...removing him from your side...

Marisu (TMO)] (they're conjoined twins!!??)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Oh boy I hope not)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (Marisu has no clue who Hazelthorn is)

Marisu (TMO)] (didn't think so, or might have remembered after dream)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ohh, was this the mage that helped you create the Mist?

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) looks at Branwyn with respect

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (so the big baddie of the campaign)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You mother told us that he is in the Great Swamp

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So far away at the moment if she is correct

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Come ON Guys We can Take HIM!)

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) nods thinking

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] My mother is alive?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh yes!

[Snezana (Spring)] fooling everyone

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I can get her for you. She is most anxious to see you

Mara (MarioHome) whispers " well, technically..."

[Snezana (Spring)] they think she's doddering but she's sharp as a knife

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (lol)

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) nods

Marisu (TMO)] We brought you here first just in case you were actually dead. We thought it best not to spring such a surprise upon her unawares.

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) struggles to get up

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) settles back down

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I am hungry

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (uh oh)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] What would you like?

[Snezana (Spring)] (we forgot the pig)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (good think you have Thistle)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] wine

[Snezana (Spring)] (Bing! great idea)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] food

Branwyn (Lisa) goes out to the hall and sees if Petit-Singe is lurking

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Haha awww)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (no)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (Hoffman is a mess)

Branwyn (Lisa) calls "I'll be right back"

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh! You want some berries?

[Thistle (Carissa)] I have lots.

[Thistle (Carissa)] They're good.

Branwyn (Lisa) goes down the hall looking for a guard - again

[Thistle (Carissa)] It's in the name. Goodberries.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Here.

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) holds out his hand to Thistle

Thistle (Carissa) hands him a few.

Marisu (TMO)] Did Hazelthorn have any other names he used? I'm unfamiliar with the name, so I'm not sure if he's still around or not. The Mist is though.

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Looks on in amusement

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) takes and swallows

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) holds out his hand again

Thistle (Carissa) shrugs and hands him half the bag.

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) SNATCHES the bag

[Thistle (Carissa)] Aww but I was going to play with those...

[Thistle (Carissa)] It's okay. Snee can make more.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (I'd imagine he is really hungry)

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) swallows

[Mara (MarioHome)] (wow, solitary sure did make him forget his manners)

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) swallows

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) swallows

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Of course The Mist is there, has it taken over the world yet?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (OH NO HE"S THE BAD GUY)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Branwyn returns after finding the old man

[Master] Old man moved 89'03".

[Thistle (Carissa)] Um, I don't think so but it's taken over too much. We haven't left because of it.

[Mara (MarioHome)] I always thought it covered the world, until these folk said different

[Master] Petit-Singe moved 53'09".

[Thistle (Carissa)] (PRobs)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he has his orders?)

Marisu (TMO)] No sir. The southern part of Drillian, mostly.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (And Thistle just healed him. Yay!)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Only Drillian?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Did we run out of dwarves?

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (HA!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Dwarves? Those don't exist.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (we only started with seven)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Food is coming

Marisu (TMO)] It is still spreading, slowly.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Dwarves are just a myth. Didn't you know that?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] We needed something strong, steady long lasting

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (This is just getting better and better)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Mist?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (A macabre version of Willy Wonka Factory?)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] to feed it

[Thistle (Carissa)] Feed what?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] The Mist

[Thistle (Carissa)] How do you feed Mist?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (With People)

Marisu (TMO)] (dark rituals)

Marisu (TMO)] (or London factories)

Marisu (TMO)] (pretty much the same thing)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Same thing)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (so dark rituals)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Haha)

Marisu (TMO)] (/me high fives everyone)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Thistle knows of no such thing. Maybe)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hehehehe)

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) slowly growing stronger, healing from all the Goodberries

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Yay we're doooooomed!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] lol

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) becoming more aware of what he is saying

Marisu (TMO)] (yay?)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] You are saying that The Mist is strong?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] That it is needed?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is strong. Stronger the further south you go.

[Thistle (Carissa)] The Mist hasn't let us leave. It's not fun.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Needed? Depends on who you ask.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] it does a good job protecting Drillian

Branwyn (Lisa) nods "Hugh is correct"

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Foreign Powers don’t want to be caught in it

Marisu (TMO)] (yes, from Vitamin D poisoning)

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) listening looking at the group

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] So they leave it alone

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] and Pray it doesn’t consume their lands too

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I remember when my father died fighting in The Wildlands

[Mara (MarioHome)] (what is his general appearance? old/young? how is he dressed? armor? rags?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no armor)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] My mother was certain that Farthorn would take over the world

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (no armor, dressed formal for a funeral)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That did not happen

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Good

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] The Mist stopped him

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Wait so maybe a friend of the elves? Good thing they aren't here. I'd be confused)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is why you created it?

[Mara (MarioHome)] (um, didn’t the Wildland Elves stop Farthorn?)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Drillian needed to be protected

[Thistle (Carissa)] (To be fair, powerful mages and elves can both be arrogant ;) )

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] The Mist would prevent dangerous mages from taking over the world

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Assume it was them who ultimately made the difference)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] and to dispose of the ability of priests

[Mara (MarioHome)] those darn priests

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] everyone would be required to live by their own skills

Mara (MarioHome) looks away nervously

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] to use their powers

Thistle (Carissa) nods, "Yes, priests can definitely be evil, too."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We were always led to believe it was to protect vampires

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And Drillian

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) looks puzzled

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Why protect vampires?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] from the sun?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] they can protect themselves

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] they feed on the lesser folk

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Oh Etienne you don't really feel that way do you? I've met many good mages. And, one of the most powerful allowed us to save you

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Gestures to Bran

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Surely they aren't all deserving of that fate?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Hazelthorn

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Will be stopped

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] THAT is why he locked me away

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Have no fear of that

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] But he hasn’t' won yet

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] And THAT mage

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Points at Bran

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Will be the one that brings you justice

[Marisu]] (TMO) is looking slightly confused, trying to follow Etienne's conversation.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] The Mist can be circumvented

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] The world isn't black and white

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] all powerful magics can

[Mara (MarioHome)] (um, did you just volunteer us Again????)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I spent time with Ozimandus

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Hell yes, we are going on this wild ride)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] he created a sanctuary for himself

[Thistle (Carissa)] Ozimawhat what?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Better hold on)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] it could only be pierced by true love

Thistle (Carissa) snorts with laughter thinking it's a joke

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (::smiles::)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] The Mist is only vulnerable to the loss of its feeding

[Mara (MarioHome)] (hmmm, end the civil war, stop feeding the mist)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (and so John and Lisa finally learn the secret that lay at the end of Trade Wars, John was playing Lisa was listening to me rant about HOW CAN THEY MISS THAT!!!!!)

Marisu (TMO)] (TMO blinks confusedly)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (the last Era of the old high level character's campaign back in 2009)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (the last campaign ended before we got to that island)

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (some did not want to go, for some strange reason)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And it is fed by the vampire lords of the Great Swamp? That is what we have always been told since we were children

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) sits up straighter

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] The Vampire Lords are keeping The Mist growing?

Marisu (TMO)] That is the popular conception, yes.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] It is one of the great magical constructs of our age

[Thistle (Carissa)] Aren't you one?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is what we have been told but not many venture to the Great Swamp

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] and the Vampires are claiming credit

Marisu (TMO)] There are many rumors and stories, and very little actual knowledge.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] It is a wonder

Marisu (TMO)] (didn't even his mother think that???)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Hazelthorn will need to answer for this

[Snezana (Spring)] wait, you are not a vampire?

[Snezana (Spring)] how did you just now survive?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (no one questioned his mother after she revealed he created the mist)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I am almost immortal

[Hoffman]] (JohnAA) stands up and wanders away looking for a place to relieve himself

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (The first two castles that sank into his new swamp)

[Thistle (Carissa)] You're a vampire and your mother is a werewolf, right?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] there is only one thing that can slay me

Marisu (TMO)] (she said it was to protect the vampires. Marisu asked 'from what' and just got a condescending look in response)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well you better not say it because someone might be listening.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] You have brought me back

[Thistle (Carissa)] Everyone knows you don't tell anyone your weakness.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I am here again

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I can

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I must think

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (life bringer Too)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (waker upper?)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Who are you child?

Thistle (Carissa) waves, "Thistle!"

[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm helping Branwyn. She needed my help.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Who do you serve?

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) looks at Branwyn

[Thistle (Carissa)] No one!

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I will buy her from you

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Saruman)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] what do you ask?

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (snicker)

[Thistle (Carissa)] I HELPED her. I didn't serve her. Grandmother tries to get me to do thing. I ran away.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She belongs with the gypsy camp in Count Drake's estate in the Ghostwood Domain.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Only adventure and freedom own me!

Hoffman (JohnAA)] (that is how we handle Mercy)

Thistle (Carissa) sticks out tongue

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Ghostwood? Drake?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] That new family?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Sighs

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Get a map

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes. It is Count Stanley Drake at the moment

[Thistle (Carissa)] Your unicorn friend knows Lisba Drake.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] We need to give you a history crash course

[Mara (MarioHome)] (lol, we have a very young tot, slightly used)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) goes to fetch a map

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Unicorn friend?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Holicorn!

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] you are all very confusing

[Thistle (Carissa)] We found her when we tried to find you. She was Dreaming, too.

Marisu (TMO)] What year were you imprisoned?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Veronique's unicorn in your dreams

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) returns with map with clear labels on it

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I suppose I ow you my life though

[Mara (MarioHome)] (holycorn!? seriously?!)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Veronique?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You dreamt of her

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Yes

[Thistle (Carissa)] (I think so....? Yes? I miss something?)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] She was a young girl that I was in love with when I was young and foolish

[Mara (MarioHome)] (good thing his pet wasn’t a cow)

[Thistle (Carissa)] She's old now. But her unicorn is still pretty.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] You met her?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You must still think of her

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] She was quite insistent that we help you. She was the key to freeing you

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] How old are you? looking at Thistle

Thistle (Carissa) grins, "I'm twelve!"

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Is was will be

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Wait, she's twelve? Immust have missed that)

[Thistle (Carissa)] She said if I find her not Dreaming I can pet her unicorn.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Or something like that.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Do you ever dream

[Thistle (Carissa)] I think she said I can pet her...

[Thistle (Carissa)] Of adventure!

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Here you go again

Thistle (Carissa) confused

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Spit it out bob. Get it Aaaalll out in the open)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Go where?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Where is my mother?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Go bring her to me, /points at Mara or Marisu hard to tell

[Thistle (Carissa)] Grandma says you need to say Please.

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) points to Branwyn What is the state of the Kingdom?

[Mara (MarioHome)] (um, clear difference btw the two)

[Marisu]] (TMO) glances at Branwyn, then shrugs.

[Marisu]] (TMO) nods to Etienne and heads toward the door.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We are in civil war at the moment

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (note still sitting upright in a coffin)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] A Civil War? about what?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Broken legs?)

Marisu (TMO)] (chance to throw Doeskin under the bus right now)

[Marisu]] (TMO) pauses at the door to listen briefly.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Succession to the throne.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Was Drillian a matriarchy when you were here last?

Marisu (TMO)] (he never did answer Marisu's question. Maybe didn't hear, or just didn't care. ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he only seems to answer every 3rd question)

Marisu (TMO)] (non compos mentis)

[Snezana (Spring)] (typical)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] There was a Queen I remember

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] a Cowles brat?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Queen chose her successor. Some families disagreed and rebelled.

[Marisu]] (TMO) goes out to fetch Dame Camille

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh Brandon? He's not that bad.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (you know the rule w/ PC's. it's in their union contract)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] So the Queen is putting down the rabble

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This last Queen was a Eustace and named a Mosskin to succeed her

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] and all will be restored quickly

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Mosskin? They are a dangerous group

Marisu (TMO)] (yah!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Araheal Mosskin of Jistille Estates,

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not the older Mosskin family

[JohnAA] I'd love to stay , but I've bills to pay, and I just don't have the time

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] The Mosskins lay in wait till you forget then they come back to remind you that you forgot and let down your guard

[JohnAA] Goodnight all

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (grins John, night)

Marisu (TMO)] (nite)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Goodnight John!)

[JohnAA] enjoy

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (goodnight Saigon)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (text me w info for tomorrow John)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Night John!)

[JohnAA] ttfn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The current Queen is from the other Mosskin family. Not the one you are thinking of.

JohnAA has left the game on Fri Dec 28 22:12:23 EST 2018

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Bolpels and Doeskins rebelled

[Master] Camille d'Ambreville moved 136'08".

[Master] Petit-Singe moved 125'05".

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] Etienne? Etienne! You ARE alive!

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] I knew you would be

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] [I told them

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] I told them

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] my son

Camille d'Ambreville (Master) breaks down weeping

Thistle (Carissa) goes to sit on the edge of the coffin while she waits

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] My mother

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] as long as you rule our lands nothing can go wrong

Marisu (TMO)] (*cough* Dick! *cough*)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOL

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Should we give you some privacy?

Thistle (Carissa) watching door and reunion with caution

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) shakes his head

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Yes you should but first you must be rewarded

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) looking at Branwyn

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] it seems you rescued me

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] how shall I reward you?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] you are a powerful mage

[Mara (MarioHome)] ( a title!!)

Marisu (TMO)] (500k xp)

Snezana (Spring) gesturing go for it!!!

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] shall I give you knowledge? gestesturs at the spell books

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Or shall I give you gold?

Marisu (TMO)] (Mist-repellent)

Branwyn (Lisa) eyes widen looking at the books longingly

Snezana (Spring) silently mouthing "all of the above"

Branwyn (Lisa) takes a deep breath

Marisu (TMO)] (you don't want Dream magic, do you? Branwyn the Dreamer? ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It was not only me, but everyone in this room that helped save you.

Thistle (Carissa) starts waving wildly again

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have recently been given lands that need developing.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Gold for us to build up our estate would be most appreciated and would serve us all.

Thistle (Carissa) bites lip glancing between the two before speaking up, "Do you have a barge? Can we have one of those, too?"

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) My'Lady? May I have a moment?

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] How much for the child?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But ... at a later date if I could perhaps learn from you at some point. I would be most grateful.

Thistle (Carissa) frowns, "I told you she doesn't own me."

[Thistle (Carissa)] Only I own myself.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is correct. Thistle is under her own management.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thistle if I was your age and such an offer was made to me, I would jump at the chance, but it is up to you.

Branwyn (Lisa) curtseys, "if you wouldn't mind excusing me for one moment."

Thistle (Carissa) falls quiet thinking

[Thistle (Carissa)] If...you got me a barge, maybe I'd stay a little longer.

Branwyn (Lisa) turns to Hugh and whispers "Yes?"

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "Would you release me from my Oath for a period of 5 years?"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are not bonded to me. You are free always to follow your desires.

[Thistle (Carissa)] I ran away but grandma might be mad if I stay away TOO long, but if I got her a barge so some of the clan can leave...

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "Regardless"

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "I won’t do it unless you offer"

[Thistle (Carissa)] (or whatever a group of gypsies is called; clan I think)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "And, it may not matter in the end"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (gaggle)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

Marisu (TMO)] (burglar of gypsies)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOL

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (murder?)

[Snezana (Spring)] (a gyre? a gimbol?)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (clan)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (chaingang?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] ( I like that one best :) )

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Yeah but now that sounds...ordinary ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you would like me to say it, then you are released from all obligation.

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Nods deeply

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Turns to Etienne

Branwyn (Lisa) turns back to Etienne

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I have a request of you, if you would not mind. I think you will find it agreeable

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) To Etienne

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) listening

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) If you would be willing. I would be grateful to serve under the family banner again and learn from you in any way I can. I have no magic that I know of, but I am eager to learn, and my sword arm is willing. I have a... daughter that would come with me, and perhaps another. But, she would have to choose for herself. I would be with you for five years and be loyal to none but you

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I will serve without question and with honor

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) looks at Hugh

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] But only for five years?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Shrugs

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Your honor expires after that?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] depends

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I will always be a D’Ambray

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] but I do have friends who I owe who I am to

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Gestures to Bran

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I won’t be loyal to her for those years, but she will always be my friend

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Vassalage

Thistle (Carissa) looks at Hugh, confused. "Grandma thought you'd want you daughter to grow up with Branwyn's daughter."

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (bob you are really killing me tonight)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (For the sake of not taking the time to read, can you sum up?)

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] Her daughter will be a powerful Mage

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Sigh

Thistle (Carissa) nods knowingly

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) points at Branwyn, HER daughter, not HIS, points at Hugh

[Thistle (Carissa)] Grandma knows that. They might come live with us.

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Rolls eyes, obviously Branwyn will be powerful

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] No thank you, I have had enough of sell swords who cast about in the wind for who will provide best for them instead of holding to their oath

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I mean, look at her

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Shrugs

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Then I retain my honor to M'lady

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) looks at Branwyn

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] D'Ambrayville

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Turns to Bran

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] My oath Remains

Branwyn (Lisa) thinks "Daughter? Starts counting in her head"

Thistle (Carissa) nods with excitement

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I won’t forget that you were willing to release me for a chance to serve my family

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Smiles

[Thistle (Carissa)] Didn't Grandma already tell you?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I think I chose wisely

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (have you any dreams you like your self.....)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So a reward you feel just to help me build my estate would be most welcome.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Gypsy child is fun to play. Such a know-it-all)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (And still bratty)

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) nods to Branwyn

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] so be it

Thistle (Carissa) frowns, "No barge?"

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) looks at his Mother

Branwyn (Lisa) curtseys

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] What did you promise to bring them here?

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] Wealth Power and Nothing at All

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) laughs

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] yes I am alive, you are my mother

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) looks at Branwyn

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Is Hazelthorn still growing The Mist?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] the Mist is still growing. I do not know if it the work of Hazelthorn or not.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] He is still out there, I can feel it in my bones

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] If The Mist is growing then he is out there feeding it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If it is the same man in your dream then he knows all our faces.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If he was in your dream he may just find us.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Then the only way you can fight him is in your dreams

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) gestures,

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Take the books

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] You will need them

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) Mother are we well suited?

Branwyn (Lisa) mouth opens "You have copies..."

Camille d'Ambreville (Master) nods

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) shakes his head

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Very well

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] You will take my books on loan

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I will claim them from you when I need them

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Mother will give you a sum from the vaults

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) looks

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Do not be stingy

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] 100?

[Mara (MarioHome)] each?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes. Thank you. I will protect them as I do my own until you come for them.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] 250 at least

Camille d'Ambreville (Master) sighs

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] very well

Camille d'Ambreville (Master) scribbles out a letter

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] hands it to Branwyn

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] 1000K

Branwyn (Lisa) tries to hide a huge grin

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master) (to Lisa only)] for 250,000 gp

[Mara (MarioHome)] (best Dr. Evil voice: one MEEEEELION!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (betting there are 3 zeros after it)

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] You will need to leave now

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Master only)] that's what I was thinkin'

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I will have to handle my family

Branwyn (Lisa) takes the letter

[Thistle (Carissa)] Wait.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] you would best not be here when that happens

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] What girl?

Marisu (TMO)] (that girl0

Thistle (Carissa) glances at Hugh before turning back, "If I stayed here....how long would I be here? What would you expect of me? There's lots of adventure here."

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Who wants to live forever?

[Thistle (Carissa)] No one if you're not having fun.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-SaoaXfz6E

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We should go.

[Thistle (Carissa)] But I don't want to stay forever. Just...have some adventures here. There’s more here than home.

Branwyn (Lisa) leans down and whispers in Thistle's ear "We can take care of that barge"

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Then I suggest you spend time with Branwyn the Awakener

Thistle (Carissa) perks up at the whisper

Thistle (Carissa) loudly "Really??"

[Thistle (Carissa)] I won't be stuck in Ghostwood??

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We shall not keep you any longer

Branwyn (Lisa) pinches Thistle's arm

[Thistle (Carissa)] Okay thanks bye!!

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Waits until the others file out

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Etienne? I am very happy to have been able to help you

Thistle (Carissa) jumps off the coffin and waves

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "Be right there"

[Thistle (Carissa)] Also it's Branwyn the Bright.

Branwyn (Lisa) hurriedly packs her bag

[Thistle (Carissa)] You should remember that. Your lady friend knows it.

[Marisu]] (TMO) follows suit.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "You know, the D'ambray's split because of that attitude. You doubt my honor and that is fine. But I distinctly remember riding into battle at your side fully expecting to die so we could get to your father. We may not be magically powerful, or immortal. But you would have had no one more loyal."

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Casual Salute

[Thistle (Carissa)] And if you see her, tell her I hope to pet Holicorn one day.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] /Turns

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) And follows the others

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Lord Hugh D'Ambray

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Keeps walking

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] HEEL man

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] HEEL

Branwyn (Lisa) furrows her brow

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Pauses and Very carefully turns

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] You did fight for me

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] As I recall, I serve only one other

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] And that is not you

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] I gave you a ring in exchange for that

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] which you gave me back

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) reaches into the coffin

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Raises Eyebrows.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] That's what family does

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) pulls out a long sword

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] we don't take advantage of each other

Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master) hands it to his mother

Camille d'Ambreville (Master) takes it and eyes it,

Marisu (TMO)] (odd accoutrements to take into a coffin)

Camille d'Ambreville (Master) nods to her son

Camille d'Ambreville (Master) hands it to Hugh

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (I know right?)

Marisu (TMO)] (and Hugh is stabbed by coffinsword)

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] Treat it properly

Marisu (TMO)] (gravesword?)

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] if you ever retreat from battle Persephone will turn on you

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Sadly shakes his head. That is a relic of the D'Ambrevilles, I wouldn’t feel comfortable.

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] until then she will stand true by you

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Sigh

Marisu (TMO)] (YOU are a relic of the D’Ambrevilles)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Can't tell if insult or compliment...)

Branwyn (Lisa) nods at Hugh

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] turns to Etienne. I am grateful, but I have never wanted any reward from my family. Only their respect.

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] Then earn it

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Sigh

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I will do

Marisu (TMO)] You are a D'Ambreville though, Hugh. If the Head of the family is gifting it to you, then doesn't that signify that you've earned it?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Carefully takes the sword

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) eyes Etienne

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'll make you proud

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Smiles grimly

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] From a seelswrod to a lord

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] eh

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] (+2 / +4 against magic users)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Jesus

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] bob I didn’t want a reward

[Thistle (Carissa)] (But can't ever retreat or ouch?)

Marisu (TMO)] (and yet you got one)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (everyone wants a reward)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Hugh never retreats. He advances to the exit with haste

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] and no I really didn't

[Etienne d’Ambrevilles (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST86JM1RPl0

Marisu (TMO)] (it's a flanking maneuver to the rear)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I was trying to retire Hugh for a good five years :)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST86JM1RPl0)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (....beat me to it damnit)

Marisu (TMO)] (I’m guessing Sir Robin?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] No, but that's awesome thought :)

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] Leave us now

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you can retire Hugh in any way you want if that's what you want to do)

[Camille d'Ambreville (Master)] Petit escort them out

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you.

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Bows deeply. I am glad I got to meet you. You are both remarkable.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Oh

Branwyn (Lisa) gathers her things , bows and leaves

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] and before I gorget

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Grins

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] This was a fascinating book

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Places the necromantic book on the shelf

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) I'll leave now

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (There I gave it back. I'm clear)

Snezana (Spring) has already stuffed all her stuff back into the sack and is ready to go

Thistle (Carissa) has nothing to pack

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (No one can claim I stole it)

Thistle (Carissa) waves once more before following Branwyn

[Mara (MarioHome)] (Mara’s shirt is already stuffed)

[Ptiti-Singe (Master)] I can help you with your horses

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We rode in on your cart remember. We are walking, but thank you

[Ptiti-Singe (Master)] You have horses now

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) (to Master only)] Can I write letter to and from the D’Ambrevilles estate as a side thing? A way of, keeping the lines of communication and information flowing?"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wait! Have you seen Anastacia?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We cannot leave without her.

[Ptiti-Singe (Master) (to mharm-15549 only)] of course

[Marisu]] (TMO) shoulders her pack and makes sure her sword is attached to her belt. "Lord D’Ambrevilles, Dame Camille, Doeskin welcomes you home. In the spirit of fellowship and friends, if you have need of us, you have just to send me a message."

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) (to Master only)] Sweet. I'm going to have so much fun with this

[Ptiti-Singe (Master)] The last I saw her she was in the dining hall

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you Petit-Singe. Can you please get a guard to fetch her? I think we have overstayed our welcome.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what is that tmo?)

[Ptiti-Singe (Master)] I will, she will be at the gates as soon as I can arrange

Marisu (TMO)] (tmo didn't say a thing)

[Master] Time of Day: 10:36 AM. Day 16 Mid ___ tre, Eap {Late Fall} 16th, 345 SKR.

[Count Drake (Master)] Branwyn Life Giver, you are traveling today too?

[Thistle (Carissa)] That's Branwyn the -

Thistle (Carissa) stops midsentence, hushes, and moves behind her.

[Marisu]] (TMO) puts her hand on Thistle's shoulder

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Seriously M'Lady You have so many Titles

Marisu (TMO)] and steers her toward the door

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] How do you remember them all?

Marisu (TMO)] (she keeps a list in her belt pouch)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (I thought that was Drake and we're outside)

[Count Drake (Master)] (grins just want till you meet Acien)

Thistle (Carissa) whispers, "Thank you. He kind of scares me."

[Thistle (Carissa)] (to Marisu)

[Count Drake (Master)] (yes it is Drake and yes you are outside in the limited sunlight)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Ah, M'Lord

Marisu (TMO)] (yay! bikini weather!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] How are you this fine day?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Steers Thistle away one way or another. Got it ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry)

[Count Drake (Master)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.ValorisOnodAncien

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes we are.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Looks oddly familiar...)>>ic<< [Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you again for your assistance. Our mission was quite successful.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You should plan another visit in a few weeks. I think you will find much has changed.

[Count Drake (Master)] A visit?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] To the d'Ambrevilles

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It could be quite interesting.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] After you have found your wife of course.

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Was that a casual backhand from the third wall Lisa?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] :)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no we had the lost my wife conversation)

[Master] traveling traveling traveling

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Carissa even re-posted)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (clickclickclick)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] ah

[Master] you are on the road

Thistle (Carissa) still keeping very close to Marisu

[Count Drake (Master)] I do wish I knew what to do when I find her

Marisu (TMO)] (yes, I make a much more tempting target. ;) )

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps you should start by apologizing.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (And stop taking lessons from Dick about being a Dick)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm not sure what you did, but I would wager you did something.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] grins

[Count Drake (Master)] Why should I apologize for?

Marisu (TMO)] (whatever she thinks you did. Even if you really did it)

[Count Drake (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTfWNUp7Pps

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (LOL)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You said you had a disagreement. The best way to end a disagreement is to apologize.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you want your wife to stay.

[Count Drake (Master)] Of course I do

[Count Drake (Master)] A wife should be loyal and stay by her husband's side

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then find a way to make her want to.

Thistle (Carissa) pokes Marisu's side and rolls her eyes at the comment

[Marisu]] (TMO) chuckles, "And Charm spells don't count."

[Mara (MarioHome)] (or stealing her cloak)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Snorts a laugh and turns it into a cough

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps take her to the next wedding you are invited to instead of leaving her at home

[Marisu]] (TMO) smiles down at Thistle.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (like some slug)

[Count Drake (Master)] She was gone beforehand

[Snezana (Spring)] (people who expect loyalty don't deserve it

Thistle (Carissa) stifles a laugh before pretend she didn't do anything

[Count Drake (Master)] I would keep her by my side

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You never did say why

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Why she left that is.

[Count Drake (Master)] We had a disagreement

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) smiles at the Count. "Disagreements never tend to work out well in the long run do they."

[Count Drake (Master)] I have time

Marisu (TMO)] (time to read to kids - bbs)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Time doesn't always heal. Sometimes, it creates a fester. And, if you leave a disagreement there, it would turn gangrenous. It's always better to fix it while you can, before it becomes a heartbreaking issue

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] If that makes sense

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Shrugs

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] It may be different for you M'lord

[Count Drake (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnWWj6xOleY

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] It's just what I've experienced

[Count Drake (Master)] (brb need water)

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Mara (MarioHome)] who hurt you Hugh? who hurt you?

Mara (MarioHome) pats his back

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Thanks Mara

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] It doesn't matter anymore

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I found someone better anyways

Mara (MarioHome) warm smile

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Gestures to everyone

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Many better someones

Thistle (Carissa) grins

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I count myself lucky every day that I met you all

[Mara (MarioHome)] this reminds me of a happy ditty I play when we need a perk

Mara (MarioHome) plays a tune on her reorder

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Alexa , reorder a tune

[Mara (MarioHome)] (until Bob gets back)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (lol)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thistle: Tumbling check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh I like this one!

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Mara (MarioHome)] sways in time with the tune

Thistle (Carissa) starts dancing along before taking Marisu's hand to make herself spin

[Thistle (Carissa)] and ending with some fanciful dance step

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Splits?)

Mara (MarioHome) stops playing, claps excitedly at Thistle

Thistle (Carissa) exaggerated bow

[Mara (MarioHome)] you missy, you remind me of someone close to me

Mara (MarioHome) all smiles

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh?

[Thistle (Carissa)] A good someone, right?

[Mara (MarioHome)] I wouldn’t be me without her

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well I like you so she must be a good somebody then.

[Spring] ok I am saying goodnight y'all

Thistle (Carissa) smiles

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Night Spring!)

[Spring] goodnight y'all!

[Count Drake (Master)] (night Spring)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (bye Spring!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Night Spring!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Good to see you again

Spring has left the game on Fri Dec 28 23:17:21 EST 2018

[Mara (MarioHome)] (be sure the stove is off)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (don’t want a Spam Attack)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOL

[Mara (MarioHome)] /nudges Thistle

[Mara (MarioHome)] We should have tried harder to see the unicorn

Thistle (Carissa) nods, "Yeah...but he's still out there so we'll see him again, right?"

Mara (MarioHome) shrugs

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I think we might yet Thistle

[Mara (MarioHome)] I don’t have a reason to return there, unless Holycow is there

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well if not there are always other unicorns, right??

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I think the dreams, the dreams may follow us.

[Mara (MarioHome)] I heard of many, but ever dreamed (ha!) I would ever come close to seeing one

[Mara (MarioHome)] they are super rare

[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe but we did see one so not that rare.

[Mara (MarioHome)] /slight disappointment

[Mara (MarioHome)] I want to believe we DID see one

[Mara (MarioHome)] a real one

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Don't lose hope guys. There are more things in heaven and earth

Thistle (Carissa) confidently, "We did. He was real. I know it."

Thistle (Carissa) points to Hugh and nods with agreement

Mara (MarioHome) hugs Thistle

[Mara (MarioHome)] then we DID see it!

Mara (MarioHome) smiles at Hugh

Thistle (Carissa) grins before grabbing her hands to do a little dance step

[Mara (MarioHome)] plays softly on the reorder

Thistle (Carissa) softly whistles along

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I feel like the credits are rolling as we ride off while Mara plays a soft tune on the recorder

[Mara (MarioHome)] reorder

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I think this might be a good stopping point?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] lol

[Mara (MarioHome)] (Drake was gonna spill it...)

[Count Drake (Master)] (chuckles)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Yes yes continue Drake?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Next time, on Bobs World

[Mara (MarioHome)] (Mara was fluff, filler)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (wanted to say this before Spring left - but did everyone get that we got 250,000 gp for that?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] The Drake spills his secrets

[Mara (MarioHome)] (each?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] No

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no not each!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Ha!)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (rofl!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (If only)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] If we did he would have bankrupted the estate

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Most will probably end up back into building, but still nice)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] and we could have bought whatever we wanted

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] :)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] We could establish trade routes to assist eh D’Ambrevilles estates

[Mara (MarioHome)] we could rent large fans to blow away the Mist

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Bob says I can write letters to the family I can stand as a way to keep communications open

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] If bran is okay with that anyways

[Count Drake (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NP-RsRGzVo

[Thistle (Carissa)] (You can always write, but don't expect replies. ;) )

[Mara (MarioHome)] (ok, Drake, finish us off strong)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] He's missing out on Hugh, but that doesn't mean we can’t communicate with each other. Information is a valuable commodity. Not that I would use it against him or Bran, but it would be useful to keep in touch

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Yeah don't let us distract you. Go on, Drake. We're listening)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Also it's kind of personal since he insulted Hugh's honor

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] He takes it very seriously

[Mara (MarioHome)] (that he did)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Hugh would die in an instant for his liege

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] or Lady

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Agreed. Like we're keeping in touch with Sam and the elves with home, etc.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is a very good thing!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Replies may not be fully forthcoming but could be useful later to say we did keep in touch)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Yup

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Also, I hate to say it, but I kind of like the guy. He's just ... Genuine. Bob did a really good job with him and he's someone that I want Hugh to grow closer to. It kind of bothers me since he pissed me off, but Bob is good at that kind of thing. So I’ll try and make it work with him.

Master bows

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Hugh values family, he's just very very careful with them. And, it sometimes bites him. Like with Etienne

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] He let his guard down briefly and realized he had it much better with Bran

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you could have said you would stay and then leave when you want)

[Master] Beata Maria

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] That would be breaking my Oath

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] to Him

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I won’t break an oath

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] That’s why I asked you for a brief reprieve

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you will see the more your roleplay with the nobility - they like giving orders and not taking them)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Then the only nobility I want to serve it you. That worked out nicely didn't it? Doesn't mean that I don't want him to see me as trash. No family likes to feel like that. Distant relation or no

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I just thought that five years would he enough to see if he valued Hugh enough to keep him or if he could return to Bran

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] It was definitely a tricky situation that I was desperately trying to put into words as delicately as I could

[Master] Kieria Elsasion

[Thistle (Carissa)] (But do consider his perspective. Five years to an ageless man is a blink of an eye)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Just hard sometimes

[Mara (MarioHome)] (something tells me you could have offered twenty years, and Etienne would have said " just twenty?")

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] An eternity of servitude isn't necessarily a good thing either

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol most likely)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] and yes you are probably right

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Exactly. Don't think there was really a good win for Hugh there. Really the options were not at all or forever)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I really wanted to help him get reestablished as his sword arm. Someone he could rely on, and I guess he just didn’t see Hugh that way. Don't worry Lisa, he'll be there to bash heads for Bran always :)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (and with a new shiny gravesword)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (gotta test it for stats)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (maybe it speaks!!!)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] He probably realizes that more than ever now too. Bran shows constant kindness to Hugh where others don't at all. It really instills loyalty to bran for all our characters in a way

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] wow deep thoughts tonight

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (bob gave the stats - will be good when Hazelthorn comes back)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] didn't expect it tonight

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] oh def.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I want to kill that bastard

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I want to be the one that does it

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'll bribe you all

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and at a +2/+4)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] but I want to be the one to do it

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'll bring Etienne his head

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Just to stick it to him

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Then I'll smile and casually walk to stand by M'Lady

[Mara (MarioHome)] ("Welcome to Sword Talk Corner, where fine cutlery speaks their mind. I'm your host Teb. Today we are joined by Persephone, , a brute of a sword...")

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Oooh it will rankle him

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOLOLOL

[Thistle (Carissa)] (That won't be until what 2026 or so?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Oh my god I'm dying over here Mario

Marisu (TMO)] (anything I need to know to get caught up on?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] holy crap

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] my sides

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] ow

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Mara and Thistle bonded and danced. Drake still hasn't spilled his secrets but he's close!)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (ah, I missed the stats. Very nice Hugh!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (only against mages Mario)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] As long as I get to kill him I'll play until 2060 or you know whenever bob or I dies. Whichever comes first

[Mara (MarioHome)] (just like Teb)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (As in he was about to then Bob had to go AFK and so we're waiting. He's not getting out of this)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] no offense bob. I'm sure you have many long and happy years ahead

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] just saying

Marisu (TMO)] (is the gravesword actually intelligent also?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Oh I have no idea

[Mara (MarioHome)] A flip of the ol' kLoOge.Coin results in: Heads

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] It will turn on me if I retriet but I never plan to do that

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Dunno but she has a name. But what if she is?? Teb gets a girlfriend???)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Slides out Persephone.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (And then they can go on and on about loyalty and never running from battles! They're made for each other!)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (don’t leave them unsheathed together, we'll be overrun by little daggers)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Rubs the pommel

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "You are a beauty"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol Mario!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Unless Farthorn made her. Man. Star-crossed lovers.)

Marisu (TMO)] (lol)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "We'll kill the worst this world has to offer in the name of our Liege won’t we"

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "I won’t retreat...If you don't"

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Smiles

[Mara (MarioHome)] (omg, can you imagine if Farthorn made her??? wow!!! Romeo and Juliet!!)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Carefully slides back into the scabbard

[Mara (MarioHome)] (nice Carissa!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Perfect, right? Now I'm hoping this is all true)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Well bob didn't make it seem like it talked so we're clear

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] unless he's still AFK

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] in which hmmm

[Mara (MarioHome)] (we can make it true, if we just believe)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOL

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Mario you are killing me tonight

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] what's your deal

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Keep her out, give her a few swings, and see. Maybe she'll yell at you for being reckless or something)

[Master] I am just watching

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I’m scaring my dog

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] laughing so hard

[Thistle (Carissa)] (OR maybe she's waiting and won't talk until she sees her one true love)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Bob stares at the chessboard. Pondering. Contemplating. Which of the players will act? To whom shall I direct? To what roll shall I make?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Or just shaking his head at all this. Hopefully with some laughter)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (have you held her unsheathed? and with no glove?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOL

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] uh, no?

[Mara (MarioHome)] (that’s Teb's secret)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Kel can give Hugh tips)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] please don't

Marisu (TMO)] (have you stroked her gently? tenderly run her through another's vital organs?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (...provided he still has hands. Too soon?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] stop

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Sighs

[Mara (MarioHome)] (lol, let her feed? she must be hungry after all this time)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I hope not. I cannot stand Teb

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Let’s get this over with

[Mara (MarioHome)] (ha! give me hands or give me Death!)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Pulls off glove

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Awww poor Teb. Unrequited love it'll be)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Draws sword

Marisu (TMO)] (roll on your Drawing skill)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Touches the blade and winces slightly

Thistle (Carissa) watches curiously

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "Hi uh, Persephone? Are you... Uh Alive?"

[Mara (MarioHome)] This. Is Persephone

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] 'me Cautiously holds the blade at arm’s length

[Mara (MarioHome)] Ease up with the grip

[Mara (MarioHome)] and warm your hands next time

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Raises eyebrows

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) grunts

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) mutters

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "it’s not like I've ever held a talking sword smartass"

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Breathes hot air on hand

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Eases up the grip

[Master] Nothing happens

[Persephone (MarioHome)] You have long fingers

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Maybe she only comes alive during battle)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] "Uh, I'm Hugh D'Ambray Nice to meet you. We'll kill lots of bad people you and I. I could really use you on my side. You don't have to talk. I'll uh, put you away now."

[Persephone (MarioHome)] and calluses. heard of lotion??

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] LOL

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I know it's you Mario

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Or not at all and we just got our hopes up)

[Mara (MarioHome)] huh??

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] If it aint bob, it didn't happen :)

Marisu (TMO)] (Mario, Master of Inanimate Object Portrayal)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Smiles and slides sword back in

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] See not alive.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] We didn’t need another Teb anyways

[Lisa] Going to call it a night guys!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] no offense Mario

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Night Lisa!

Marisu (TMO)] (g'nite Lisa)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Why would you think a sword would talk back?

[Lisa] Have a very happy new year’s!! :)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Night Lisa!)

[Mara (MarioHome)] Bye Lisa

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] And with that note I think I will as ell. Been a long day

Marisu (TMO)] (same to you)

Lisa has left the game on Fri Dec 28 23:44:30 EST 2018

[Master] Have a great night everyone

[Mara (MarioHome)] Bye all, and to all a Good Night

[Master] we will pick up next week with the remainder of the trip back to Ghostwood

[Thistle (Carissa)] No Drake doesn't get out of this yet, does he?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Night everyone. It was an honor to play with you all this year. I hope we continue to have another great year. I'm so grateful I met you all!

[Mara (MarioHome)] Bob, what time at your place tomorrow?

[Master] 1130 please

[Mara (MarioHome)] and thanks BOB for it ALL!

[Carissa] Agreed.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] You make Friday’s so exciting. Not much in my life gets me as hyped as this game

[Carissa] Remember to read up on how to play your other characters. It’s been a few weeks :P

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Haha. Indeed

[Mara (MarioHome)] good tip!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Night all

[Mara (MarioHome)] ciao
