[Master] and of course such a small desk that the keyboard in on my lap

[Master] Ryan will be very late if in at all

[Master] Hey there Michael

[mharm-15549] Hello

[mharm-15549] Bob I have to preface

[Master] chuckles, yes?

[mharm-15549] I have literally been so busy that I haven't even opened up my mail and end of month bills, let alone check the site. I'm not making excuse, I promise. I am literally working two full time jobs and my masters. I am DEAD

[mharm-15549] I will do my best

[mharm-15549] but may be lost on some stuff

[Master] you are fine

[mharm-15549] Please don't be mad

[Master] the only two things I need from you are:

[Master] 1 - remember that you mostly likely want Hugh to be the person supervising the Sheriff, etc. around the Estate so that people get in the habit of going to them for help and not to Hugh

[mharm-15549] Done

[Master] because then when Hugh is off on an adventure they will not be lost

[mharm-15549] What’s 2

[mharm-15549] :)

[Master] 2 - Does Neith have 1 or 2 kids with Hugh?

[mharm-15549] Wow. Deep thoughts here bob

[mharm-15549] uh

[mharm-15549] what will not end in tragedy?

[Master] never being born

[mharm-15549] Hm. Decisions decisions

[mharm-15549] screw it, how about 3

[Master] very well, Mercy is now much older than you think and you have two more kids

[mharm-15549] Hi Carissa!

[Master] kids

[Master] and grins, Hello Carissa

[mharm-15549] Oh goody. I get to figure out how to deal with that

[mharm-15549] :)

[Carissa] Hi BOB and Michael!

[mharm-15549] Hello :)

[Master] Carissa is off the hook because Elves take forever to have kids

[Carissa] Whew. I shall play an elf forever then.

[Carissa] And did Hugh adopt Amilee??

[mharm-15549] Who now?

[mharm-15549] Uh, Sure?

[Master] but Thistle is now close to being not a precious child and a adolescent

[Carissa] Plague girl.

[Master] That could be one of them

[Master] but I had thought that would be Miranda

[Carissa] How many years have passed? She's going to be a mess of a teenager.

[mharm-15549] Dear god. How much time has passed?

[Carissa] Ahh Miranda makes sense for that, too. She knows that goddess.

[mharm-15549] How old is Mercy? Is she a playable character?

[Master] without all my notes here, I can only guess but at least 24 months of building plus 6 or 8 of training

[mharm-15549] Oh, that's not too bad

[Carissa] Okay about what you predicted before, 2-3 years.

[Master] plus we are about to do more training after the XP from the building story arc

[mharm-15549] Whew. For a second I thought years had passed

[Carissa] So Thistle will be...15ish? Give or take.

[Carissa] I think that puts Mercy at...4 or 5?

[Master] so from the beginning of this Era to the point where you go tackle the next few story arcs will be 4 to 5 years

[Master] and Mercy was already 3

[Carissa] ....wait so Thistle will be 17or 18?

[Master] and welcome Lisa

[Carissa] Hi Lisa!

[Master] no to Carissa

[Master] but yes to Shi thinking that humans grow like weeds

[Master] far too fast to be able to enjoy everything around them

[mharm-15549] Wow. Racist

[mharm-15549] ;)

[Carissa] Well yeah, Shi pretty much hasn't aged at all.

[Carissa] And good, I thought my math was off, but okay. Something close to 15 depending on the month.

[Lisa] Hello!

[Master] when I am home I will have all my notes and can make some date determinations for everyone

[Master] we did determine that Miranda would not have kids of her own but adopt orphans

[Master] and now Lisa gets that question

[Lisa] Why are Hugh and Neith procreating and no one else is? Or is this a surprise for everyone as they log in

[Master] after Dahlia

[Master] grins

[Master] 1 more child?

[mharm-15549] Hey I just found out about it tonight

[mharm-15549] it was popped on me

[Master] I did do Branwyn's family tree on Ancestry

[Master] added Dahlia

[Lisa] did you spell it like that?

[Master] Branwyn has I think 5 father in laws?

[Master] laws

[mharm-15549] Hopefully not...

[Master] HAH

[Master] keyboard on lap, see above

[Master] better than laptop on lap

[mharm-15549] Here here, to that one

[Master] at least for Branwyn's sake most of them are dead

[Carissa] Hopefully a bigger screen at least?

[Master] and I do have questions for everyone

[Master] when they log in

[Master] or at least comments to them

[Master] and no one single laptop screen for this

[Master] but a keyboard and mouse

[Master] so the typing is MUCH better

[Master] than the trackpad

[mharm-15549] dear lord. Everyone press "F" for respect

[Master] and for Lisa

[mharm-15549] Nevemind, that probably went over everyone’s head. TMO isn’t here

[Lisa] F?

[Master] another child?

[Lisa] really? Branwyn hasn't anything better to do than have babies?

[mharm-15549] (Sorry. I didn't think about it. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/press-f-to-pay-respects)

[Master] LOL

[Master] just the opportunity

[Master] with clicking off time

[Master] she might very well be pregnant again when we start adventuring

[mharm-15549] More kids to play with apparently though Lisa. I've just been given two more

Lisa sigh

[Lisa] no -you said you wanted 3

[Master] Branwyn does need someone to inherit

[mharm-15549] (I got mercy)

[mharm-15549] (so three in total)

[Master] BOB grants Mercy on Michael

mharm-15549 Roll eyes

[Master] bless you my son

[mharm-15549] LOL

[Lisa] fine but no more

[Master] LOL to Lisa

[mharm-15549] (You can say no can't you?)

[Master] yes

[mharm-15549] (Not being an ass, just like maybe tell bob no?)

[Lisa] I didn't say yes to the first one

[mharm-15549] LOLOL

[mharm-15549] (I'm gonna step back on this one)

[Master] so John said he will not be in

[mharm-15549] Darn

[Lisa] again?

[Lisa] everything ok?

[Master] and rather than wait for TMO for an hour or two

[Master] he did say he was getting too involved and needs to step back

Spring has joined the game on Fri Mar 01 19:18:44 EST 2019

Spring has received the map Base Map.

[Master] LOTS of stuff going on

[Spring] hey y'all

[mharm-15549] Tell him to get in line ;)

[Master] and Hello Spring

[mharm-15549] Hi Spring!

[Lisa] HI Spring!

[Spring] I’m arriving to leave, I’m afraid. my middle is Not Doing Well At All

[Spring] I cannot brain in this condition

[Master] very sorry Spring, I do have a couple of notes for you

[Master] Kenna has done well in birthing babies

[Spring] oh yay

[Carissa] Aww hi, bye, hope things improve.

[Master] she is now responsible for over two dozen births

[Master] including one for Neith

[Spring] hey hey awright

[Master] and one for Branwyn

[Master] and perhaps one for Shur

[Master] we will find out when TMO logs in

[Lisa] lol that should be fun

[mharm-15549] ...sending a discord now....

[Carissa] Since TMO isn't here, I'm pretty sure he said they wanted 15 kids.

[mharm-15549] oh did I type that in public?

[Master] Hugh and Neith have Mercy, a born child, and another adopted child

[Master] Branwyn has two born children

[Master] Miranda has an adopted child

[Lisa] you need to tell me the sex of the 2nd so I can name it

[Carissa] ....it's like he's planning for everyone to die in a decade or two...

[Master] grins

[Master] and LOL at Carissa

[mharm-15549] Hey, I want to play as Mercy in the future :)

[Carissa] Oh! Reminds me of relevant joke I heard earlier this week.

[Master] Lisa, you can choose

[Carissa] Pun enters a room and kills 10 people. Pun in, ten dead.

[Master] heads a Boy?

[Master] and applauds Carissa

[Carissa] I'm so easily amused. Anyways.

[Spring] heh

[Lisa] that took me a sec with the line break

[Lisa] but very nice! :)

[Carissa] ;)

[Spring] I don't remember if Kayugan priests settle down or not

[Spring] if they do, then my two need to get married and have babies

[Master] They are not celebite or chaste

[Master] well Snee is a Halfling so can only have kids with another Halfling

[Lisa] celebite sounds painful

[Master] grins

[Spring] especially Kenna, I see this as a very Uthe thing

[Spring] Kenna's the halfling

[Spring] Snee's the human

[Master] ahh sorry had it flipped

[Spring] but point taken

[Master] but yes to both

[Spring] may have to convert somebody since Kayugan halflings are so rare

[Master] unique even

[Spring] or marry a human and adopt

[Master] or just not marry

[Carissa] Was that recent farmer a widow? Just saying.

[Master] and adopt away

[Spring] there's that too

[Master] and yes to a widow out there

[Master] widower

[Carissa] See? And he's good at killing ghouls. He's a catch!

[Spring] these are rustic times. there are probably widows and widowers all over the place

[Master] laughs

[Spring] ok gotta medicate and lie down.

[Spring] see you later peoples

[Master] go Spring,

[Master] than you go looking in

[Lisa] Hope you feel better!

[Master] feel better

[mharm-15549] Have a good evening!

[Carissa] See you! We'll keep an eye out for Snee's future husband ;)

[Spring] thanks my own fault. burger and onion rings

[Spring] bye

[Spring] hahaha

Spring has left the game on Fri Mar 01 19:27:09 EST 2019

[mharm-15549] That uh, actually sounds good. I'm hungry now

[mharm-15549] Well

[mharm-15549] Thanks spring

[Master] so waiting on Mario or TMO

[Master] but there are two encounters

[Master] only one of which involved them

[mharm-15549] Uh, More people before hell please

[Master] hell is still a couple of story arcs away

[Carissa] So we can drag them to hell with us?

[mharm-15549] Sigh

[Lisa] A flip of the ol' kLoOge.Coin results in: Tails

[Carissa] It'll be a hell of a time.

[Master] we'll have a gay old time

[Master] Wyndham does not even have plastic cups, I am drinking wine out of a paper cup

[Master] there is an Applebee's attached to this hotel

[Master] they would not let me take a glass glass

[Carissa] At least you have wine?

[mharm-15549] Are you shitting me?

[Master] especially when I was not buying it

[mharm-15549] Pardon language?

[Master] I brought wine with me from home

[mharm-15549] Does the room at least have like a coffee mug or something? This is the Wyndham and not a like motel 6 we are talking about right?

[Lisa] I guess no gift shop

[Master] that would be a no to a gift shop or coffee mugs

[mharm-15549] Wow.

[Master] there is not even a drawer

[Lisa] if you want your wine in a glass drink it out of the bottle :)

[mharm-15549] I gotta look this place up

[Master] there is a shelf in the closet to put my things on

[mharm-15549] It's a damn Wyndham. Aren't they supposed to be nice or something?

[Master] wyndham Tallahassee gardens dens

[Master] gardens

[mharm-15549] They call them Wyndham Resorts, not Wnydham crap holes

[Master] this is NOT a resort

[mharm-15549] Hey that’s what Wyndhams are labeled as

[mharm-15549] that's what’s so ridiculous

[Master] well next time

[Master] I will be back in two months

[Lisa] that lobby is garish

[Master] yeah

[Lisa] https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/wyndham-garden/tallahassee-florida/wyndham-garden-tallahassee-capitol/overview

[Master] that is the one

[Master] I am in room 104

[Master] the shower is good

[Master] this is an ADA room

[Lisa] hate those

[Master] so Lisa was that Tails for a second girl?

[Lisa] I guess

[Lisa] a boy would have been more balanced

[Carissa] A mini-Tiberius? Is that smart?

[Master] you can have a boy

[Master] totally up to you

[mharm-15549] It says there’s a bar, but not a single dman glass in the room? I mean, I’m pretty chill but..... I would probably have asked if there were no cups in the room.

[Lisa] I would rather if I can pick

[Master] there are plenty of paper cups and when I asked housekeeping they said no plastic cups, only the paper ones

[Master] and there you go Lisa, you have a new baby boy

[Lisa] Of course it is Carissa! At least in Bran's head

[Carissa] lol!

[Lisa] ok

[Lisa] name is ...

[Master] and he can swim with the otters in the moat

[Lisa] Demetri

[Lisa] Demi for short

[Lisa] Demi and Dahlia

[Master] grins

[Lisa] that was easy

[Master] D&D

[Lisa] that too!

[mharm-15549] Hey MARIO!

[Master] so Mario

[Lisa] Hi Mario!

[Master] quick question for you

[MarioHome] Hello Hello!

[mharm-15549] How many kids you want?

[mharm-15549] LOL

[Master] did Mara have a kid?

[MarioHome] no

[Master] did she adopt?

[MarioHome] She WAS a kid

[MarioHome] once

[MarioHome] nope

[Master] ok then

[Carissa] Hi Mario!

[MarioHome] doe she need to be pregnant soon?

[Master] and with no objections from Spring or Michael, Mario your church plans are good and you can finalize the way you want

[MarioHome] Hiya

[Master] Mara would have already had a kid,

[Master] has been 2-3 years

[Master] from the beginning of the Era

[Master] or could have adopted

[MarioHome] ok, ill add rooms so everyone has a large one, and we have an open terrace on the roof, to grow herbs and Kenna's cooking and Maras tiny smelter/forge/whatever

[Master] Michael is deciding if he adopts Amilee or some other unknown child

[MarioHome] yikes, Does Mercy need a playmate?

[Master] Mercy is the second oldest

[Master] Thistle, then Mercy, then Dahlia then a passle of others

[MarioHome] gaggle?

[Master] passle of kids from unknown parents, gaggle from one or two mothers

[MarioHome] very nice, had to google it

[MarioHome] passel

[Master] and so

[Carissa] Nope just a chance for kids if you want them. Michael wants them. Thankfully nothing from Shi.

[MarioHome] or Kel

[Master] anything else from the previous encounter you want to handle without TMO?

[MarioHome] or Mara

[Carissa] Kel was a woman this whole time?? I knew it!!

[MarioHome] did we recover our HP?

[MarioHome] and I certainly do not hope Spring is upset that she climbed the building

[Master] no to Mario

[MarioHome] I started the climb thing to simply kick off role play and get some vibe going

[Master] everyone is learning the new things about your lands

[Master] and you were right

[MarioHome] she did miss out on combat, which is sad for her

[Master] every town has something

[Master] Travelers Way is the edge of Branwyn's current lands and when John decides at some point to establish his place will be a nice town to be in between the two areas

[Master] Qui Fen is a nice small hamlet in the swamps

[MarioHome] sorry, is there an updated version of the map with the new towns in place?

[Master] I thought I shared the existing map

[Master] can do that when I am home

[MarioHome] ok, thanks. Where?

[MarioHome] ah ok

[MarioHome] I can call Nyrma

[Master] go for it

[Lisa] Sasha just lay on my keyboard and zoomed my screen to 900%

[MarioHome] aww, our poor cat has been unseen for three days

[Master] oh oh

[MarioHome] we are watching a friend's dog

[Lisa] oh no!!

[Master] AH

[MarioHome] so Ash is ninja

[Lisa] poor baby

[MarioHome] oh, he's around, but he's rolled 01% each time he moves

[MarioHome] the other dog has a cat brother and is super friendly

[MarioHome] but Ash is a scardy, well, cat

[Lisa] lol

[Master] OK so with no word from TMO yet

[Lisa] Carissa - are your cats getting along now?

[Master] the next encounter will be quirky for you

[Lisa] when are they not quirky?

[Carissa] Yep! Introduced them on Monday. They're playing and getting along very well! :)

[Lisa] Good news!

[Carissa] When they're super cute (fingers crossed they'll be cuddle buddies eventually) I'll send a picture :)

[MarioHome] yay

[Lisa] so who is attending this encounter?

[Master] everyone who is in the Manor

[Master] this takes place after the previous one

[Master] near the end of building

[Master] I will be slow moving between characters

[Master] so leaving them on the maps they are on

[Master] but they are all healed

[Master] Skarphedin: No adjustments made.

[Master] Snezana: No adjustments made.

[Master] Tebhoundrin: No adjustments made.

[Master] Kel's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 61 (4) - Lightly Wounded

[Master] Jon the sailor: No adjustments made.

[Master] BUT that leds me to questions

[Master] Kel and Shi

[Master] do you go to the Manor regularly for morning reports, etc.?

[Master] OR only when requested

[MarioHome] when we're not ' busy'

[MarioHome] ^ ^

[Master] Michael, who are you giving those duties to?

[Master] does Jilly run the morning meetings now?

[Master] Lisa? preferences?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what about that steward you tossed into her house)

[Carissa] Ha! Well they're elves. They do things their own timing so...probably not going in the morning unless needed.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (if he gets to live there he better do something)

[Carissa] Thistle can go for them

[Master] that is what I am asking Lisa

[Master] ok

[Master] so The Steward

[Master] then Jilly and Thistle attending

[Master] Hugh

[mharm-15549] Hugh and Neith report in daily when Lisa is allowing them. This is because Hugh is security and Neith does admin stuff with Lisa/Steward

[mharm-15549] Unless Lisa says otherwise

[Master] TMO will designate someone from his guild to be there

[Carissa] Lanek? He's second-in-command.

[Master] how often is Indigo coming over?

[Master] he is about 4 miles away

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he's over a lot if there is building going on - other than that off and on)

[Master] ok

[Master] so for ease of this encounter we will say Indigo, Branwyn, Tiberius, Hugh, Neith, (someone from John, someone from TMO), Mara with a report from the church for Branwyn,

[Master] Jilly and The Steward

[Master] does that sound good?

[Carissa] Hootie and the Blowfish.

[Carissa] But for real, also Thistle you forgot.

[Master] forever young

[Master] and yes sorry Carissa

[Master] cause the Dolphins make me cry

Indigo (Lisa) bounces Dahlia on his lap

[Carissa] :P

[Master] Or scream a lot depending right Mario?

[MarioHome] TUCK THE BALL

[Jilly (Master)] So we are all here

[MarioHome] I TOLD YOU TO TUCK THE F#$&@ BALL!

[Jilly (Master)] I wanted to make sure that you are eating right Indigo

[Jilly (Master)] you look thin

[MarioHome] forever etched in my mind

[mharm-15549] LOL

[Jilly (Master)] are you sure that Widow Washburn is feeding you enough

Dahlia (Lisa) giggles and then spits up on Indigo

[Jilly (Master)] and Dahlia just ate

[Jilly (Master)] OOOPS

[Jilly (Master)] see

[Indigo (Lisa)] ARGH!!

[MarioHome] I am back at the keyboard.

[Jilly (Master)] OH you have had much worse slime on you

[Mara (MarioHome)] oh children are so delightful!

Indigo (Lisa) picks her up and holds her out

[Jilly (Master)] remember when that frog spit on you?

[Jilly (Master)] She is little

[Indigo (Lisa)] That wasn't fun!

[Jilly (Master)] and does not have acid

[Indigo (Lisa)] You take her!

[Jilly (Master)] Thistle what sort of acid does a frog have?

Jilly (Master) holds up a platter

[Thistle (Carissa)] Uhhh the burning kind?

[Jilly (Master)] Do you want me to drop your scones?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh look who is being the baby!

Jilly (Master) smiles

Jilly (Master) giggles

[Thistle (Carissa)] I don't know. Want me to go ask Shi? I can be right back. I run fast!

Branwyn (Lisa) tosses a napkin at Indigo and takes Dahlia

Jilly (Master) hands Indigo two scones

Branwyn (Lisa) to Dahlia "Did he bounce you too hard?"

Branwyn (Lisa) carries her back to her seat

Thistle (Carissa) looks between the scones and spit up and grimaces

Indigo (Lisa) wiping himself off

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Excuse me my Lady

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, Nevin?

[Jilly (Master)] Yes?

[Jilly (Master)] OH

[Jilly (Master)] sorry

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles at Jilly

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (TMO is a few moments way)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Thank you Jilly

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Countess

[Steward Nevin (Master)] You have a report from the Church today

Branwyn (Lisa) presses her lips together

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Lovely ...

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Rolls eyes

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Your husband should be back with Demi soon

[Steward Nevin (Master)] they are out in the moat again

[Steward Nevin (Master)] I did give him extra towels

Neith of Inholt (mharm-15549) Elbows Hugh

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you! I was going to ask that.

[Steward Nevin (Master)] He swims like an otter

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They will ruin all of the floors at this rate

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) grimaces but is chastened

[Steward Nevin (Master)] as they insist on saying

[Steward Nevin (Master)] I do wish Mistress Kenna was here just in case

[Branwyn (Lisa)] In case of what?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Swims like an other what?

Thistle (Carissa) laughs to herself

[Steward Nevin (Master)] OH and that .... squirrel..... was back yesterday

[Steward Nevin (Master)] left another dagger for Dahlia

[Mara (MarioHome)] smiles at Thistle, gives a small wink

[Steward Nevin (Master)] I put it in your room for you this morning

[Thistle (Carissa)] I like Acorn! She's really fast and her aim is amaaazingg!

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Yes Mistress Thistle

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That was kind of her! Let me know the next time she stops by so I can thank her in person

[Steward Nevin (Master)] She is very good with that aim,

[Steward Nevin (Master)] he rubs his rear ruefully

Thistle (Carissa) whispers to Jilly, "That wasn't Acorn."

Thistle (Carissa) puts her finger to her lips

[Steward Nevin (Master)] You only have one important visitor after you hear from Hugh and Mara Countess

[Steward Nevin (Master)] I will let them speak first

[Branwyn (Lisa)] All right.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Hugh and Mara hoping for an uneventful report

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Clears throat

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Small scrapes and scuffles. Nothing requiring any military action. The sheriff is just dealing with the normal drunken brawls or odd theft

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] However,

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Soon with authorization, we may need to expand the policing to have an additional deputy be present as the population expands

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I never mind helping, but I find that when the sheriff and deputy are tied up, I am being called out to assist at moments when it may not be convenient

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] A third Deputy would be welcome

[Mara (MarioHome) (to mharm-15549 only)] whispers "crime is never convenient"

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] That's all of pressing matters. I know Neith wanted to ask if you needed anything, but she is taking the day to relax

Mara (MarioHome) sorry Michael

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

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

Mara (MarioHome) whispers " crime is never convenient"

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Pauses. That is all

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Salutes

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Hi TMO!)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Nods to Steward

[Mara (MarioHome)] (Hey TMO)

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles at Hugh

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (TMO who from the Guild is there? Ilero? and or? )

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (morning meeting at the Manor house)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That makes perfect sense. I trust that between you, the current Sheriff, and Nevin and Jilly, you can see to getting someone for this position?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Yes Countess

[Thistle (Carissa)] (And how many children did Shur have??)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] SHHHH Carissa, let him get settled in first)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Oh so he gets to settle first not everyone else?? ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[TMO] (Branwyn - the Guild is located on your lands, although technically does not report to you. However, we've no desire to get territorial - what kind of representation from the Guild would you prefer? Just Ilero, or Lanek as his sub when he's not able, or more of the members? Ilero won't bring the crowd if they're just taking up space for no reason)

[TMO] (Yes. I'm special)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (see TMO can give his own unsettling things, )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it’s up to you. Bran considers Ilero and Shur as friends and partners in this whole estate thing)

[TMO] (although as this is probably a civic meeting rather than a Dragonslayers, am I right?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] ( all of the above)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it would not be a command but rather than does Ilero want to be a part of the estate stuff)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (TMO, you totally got to have Ilero be a part!!! He hears stuff!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we haven't taken a "DS contract" in a long time)

[TMO] (well, none of the Guild are part of the DS, except Ilero. That may change for individuals in time, but being part of the Guild does not make them part of DS)

[TMO] (How about typically 2 members of the Guild at each meeting, often including Ilero or Lanek, but sometimes just 2 juniors?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sure)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (the well-worn story about the old group needing to get back together again for one more mission will happen soon enough do not worry)

[TMO] (Bob - all Tierans arrived, or just a subset?)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (all including the new one)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (I do need a name and sex for the most recent)

[TMO] (1d12) [1d12=4] 4

[TMO] (it's on the site - Siffress Wildwander F)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (ok)

[TMO] (and on her character icon)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] So Thank you Hugh for your report

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Mara?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] What does the church report this week?

[TMO] (Ilero and Kazimir)

[Mara (MarioHome)] well, attendance for the Main Mass is consistent, and last night the common room housed two in-need guests

[Mara (MarioHome)] our revenues for the month should meet the goals

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Good

[Steward Nevin (Master)] we are slightly behind on where we should be for taxes

[Mara (MarioHome)] Births were flat to same time lastyear,but healing has increased. not sure why

[Mara (MarioHome)] we could increase the cost of healing, but since that is primary function, it kind of goes against the ideal of our mission

[Steward Nevin (Master)] No Lady Kenna made it clear the last time I asked

[Steward Nevin (Master)] and Snee was very emphatic with her hammer

[Mara (MarioHome)] good for her!

Mara (MarioHome) big smile

[Branwyn (Lisa)] How behind is slightly behind?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] The church has attracted many more people

[Steward Nevin (Master)] it is good that we are serving so many

Mara (MarioHome) beams

[Steward Nevin (Master)] but they could be a little more generous

[Mara (MarioHome)] they give with their heart and what their purses allow

[Steward Nevin (Master)] tax revenues are lagging by about 10 percent this year

[Steward Nevin (Master)] of course we have a large cushion

[Steward Nevin (Master)] due to the Countesses treasury

[Steward Nevin (Master)] but I do not want to count on that going forward

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

Kazimir Huisto (TMO) shifts in his seat.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Are you telling me we have the only church in the Small Kingdoms not drowning in coin for their services?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Prince Ilero's guild has not brought in any revenue yet, there are no signed contracts

[Thistle (Carissa)] If you can't count on the Countress does that make her a Ress?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] OH we have some good coin

Mara (MarioHome) stifles her giggle

[Steward Nevin (Master)] but we have to make up for the Countesses largess earlier this year

Thistle (Carissa) looks at Steward with pity

[Mara (MarioHome)] )large ass?)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] /glances at Thistle

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (I have nothing to say about Branwyn's ass)

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Looks wide eyed at the Steward and quickly away

[Thistle (Carissa)] Your humor needs...a little more work.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (seriously, what’s a largess?)

Ilero (TMO)] (Stewards don't have humor. It's surgically removed when they get the job)

Ilero (TMO)] (generosity with money)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (Mario Branwyn waived Taxes for one of the villages earlier this year)

Ilero (TMO)] (kind donations)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (ah, Two! two new words today! ahhh ahhh ahh)

Ilero (TMO)] (financial niceness)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Then count it as a loss and the dragonslayers need to go out and make some money)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (That's what we do)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So how do you propose we make up the shortfall?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (yes to Michael, grins)

Ilero (TMO)] (Is it? I thought we killed things and caused chaos and discord)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Not a comedy act, that's for sure...

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

[Steward Nevin (Master)] I am not certain yet Countess, I am only ensuring that I keep track of the accounts currently

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Yes to the second one)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] We are in no danger of not fulfilling your duties and requirements to the Queen

[Steward Nevin (Master)] and not for several years at this point

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But perhaps we should seek out some contract work?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I can contact the Dragonslayers and see if they need any assistance.

[Steward Nevin (Master)] From my understanding of spending time with Jilly the problem will rectify itself shortly

Branwyn (Lisa) raises an eyebrow

[Steward Nevin (Master)] The Countess seems to have a knack at discovering unknown treasures

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ohhh ... I thought you meant Jilly would resolve the problem

[Steward Nevin (Master)] starts to laugh, then pauses

[Steward Nevin (Master)] that might very well be the case Countess

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can you give us a report on the status of the war?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] I have quickly learned

[Steward Nevin (Master)] not to think she is incapable of anything

[Steward Nevin (Master)] The war is won

[Steward Nevin (Master)] the Queen will be visiting shortly

[Steward Nevin (Master)] within the month

[Steward Nevin (Master)] she will be bringing news to you personally

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wonderful!

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (So Sunday best?)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] I have been advised to make arrangements

Ilero (TMO)] (btw - Sorry Lisa about not getting around to your Manor floorplan. I have been *swamped*, and that's been an easy one to forget about)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I know you've been busy - no worries.)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Prince Ilero did you have anything to add for the Countess?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] I only have one more issue to bring up

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am looking forward to catching up with her and her family

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Countess the twins will be here, and I hear that her newest daughter is recovering nicely

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Kenna was able to help her

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am glad for that.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Is that four kids now???)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You will let me know if there is anything I need to do in preparation for the visit.

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (you will find out)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] We will need to find you a space to live

[Steward Nevin (Master)] the Queen will take your quarters

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Son, then twins, and then daughter who is either a twin or not. Wow. She's been busy)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] the rest will move out to the boarding house

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We can stay in the guest rooms

[Steward Nevin (Master)] I will move to the kitchen

[Jilly (Master)] NO NO NO

[Jilly (Master)] I am not giving up my room to you

[Jilly (Master)] you made a mess when I went home last month

[Jilly (Master)] you can stay in the baby's room

[Jilly (Master)] and I will take Dahlia with me

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Queen will have the nursery

Steward Nevin (Master) NODS to Branwyn and Jilly

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Prince Ilero'?

[Ilero]] (TMO) is waiting for the current discussion to end before he speaks.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It will only be for a day or two.

[Steward Nevin (Master)] She will be staying for the month

[Steward Nevin (Master)] it is part of her tour of the kingdom

[Steward Nevin (Master)] you are the first on her tour

[Steward Nevin (Master)] as her newest member of the peerage

[Ilero]] (TMO) grins. "You want some extra watchers?" He jerks a thumb at Kaz, and by extension the other members.

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Yes please Prince

[Steward Nevin (Master)] errr Ilero

[Steward Nevin (Master)] sorry

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods. "Lanek set up rotation."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] A month?

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs

Ilero (TMO)] T'ey not standard guards, but can cover in ot'er ways mebbe not expected if anyone try anyt'ing.

Jilly (Master) giggles

[Jilly (Master)] she wants to make sure that Dahlia spends time with the princes

Ilero (TMO)] And supposedly they ALL very observant people. Hye not always sure 'bout t'at.

[Ilero]] (TMO) looks at them to see if the royal visit topic is convened.

Ilero (TMO)] (looks like it is)

Ilero (TMO)] (ain't nobody typing not'in)

[Ilero]] (TMO) stands up and hooks his thumbs in his belt. Kazimir hastily jumps to his feet next to him, holding a roll of papers in his arms. "Guild Tower is pretty much finished. Hye bet we always making small changes here an t'ere t'ough. Not want anybody get too lazy. Hye been having t'em work at mapping your lands as practice. And playing hide and seek, which some you may have seen." He looks over at Kaz. "Huisto here bring maps if anyone want see t'em."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Very nice! yes, please.

Kazimir Huisto (TMO) starts juggling the papers in his hands, trying to open one of them to show the room.

[Thistle (Carissa)] They're much better at Hide and Seek than Hoffman!

Kazimir Huisto (TMO) unrolls one of Ottertown and shows the room.

[Kazimir Huisto (TMO)] (it's ... okay)

[Kazimir Huisto (TMO)] (no work of art)

[Jilly (Master)] (smiles, I am trying to be quiet but I also have some lag )

[Kazimir Huisto (TMO)] (how do you have lag? you're sitting at the computer ain't you? ;) )

Branwyn (Lisa) nods appreciatively

Thistle (Carissa) gives a small clap of appreciation

Dahlia (Lisa) squirms away from Branwyn and starts to make a beeline for the big parchment

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh no!

[Jilly (Master)] (I am remote desktop into my home PC from Tallahassee over Wi-Fi from a Windham)

Kazimir Huisto (TMO) lets the Ottertown map roll up in his hands and shifts another one into his grip. This is a very rough perspective map of the view from the top of the Guild Tower, with destinations inked in places. If you're facing west, this is your view, and these are the towns in that direction.

Branwyn (Lisa) jumps up and grabs her before she can latch on to it

Branwyn (Lisa) points at scrolls "Want!"

Kazimir Huisto (TMO) sides it to the back and pulls out the same thing, but with a view to the south. He has many more papers in his hands.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that was Dahlia :) )

[Kazimir Huisto (TMO)] (I wouldn't put it past Branwyn either)

[Jilly (Master)] hah

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

Kazimir Huisto (TMO) almost drops one of the others while shifting to the eastern view.

[Ilero]] (TMO) rolls his eyes briefly. "Hokay, we have all t'ese if anyone want look later. Not need show everyone right t'is second."

Kazimir Huisto (TMO) shuffles his feet and starts folding up all the maps again.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I know Tiberius will be very interested. Maybe he can come by the guild this week and look at them?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] We do have one more petitioner for the Countess

[Steward Nevin (Master)] I will go out an get him

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And he won't chew on them like this one if she got her hands on any of them.

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods. "Any time." He sits back down and Kazimir follows a minute later after he has the maps under control.

[Steward Nevin (Master)] (brb restroom)

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (How old is Kaz roughly?)

Ilero (TMO)] (I *really* need to finish statting out the single-class members at least)

Ilero (TMO)] (he's the nephew of that farmer, and is only 2nd level, so I'm guessing late teens, maybe very early 20's

Ilero (TMO)] (we don't want to send kids out by themselves into the countryside for weeks at a time)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol just trying to figure out if just shy or shy due to age)

Ilero (TMO)] (he is, however, *not* used to standing in front of a large group that includes some very important people. ;) )

[Thistle (Carissa)] (er, if shy is the right word)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (haha noticed)

Ilero (TMO)] (Silent is one of his stronger personality traits, but it's not the most important)

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Are you ready for your plaintiff?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Of course

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Sigh. Someone get the ax. OFF WITH THEIR HEAD)

Ilero (TMO)] (settle down there, Queen of Hearts)

[Gnome (Master)] I want to know what you are going to do about people who keep stealing from us

[Gnome (Master)] we have a perfectly happy fillage

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

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

[Gnome (Master)] and then you keep sending people to stealing our trees

Branwyn (Lisa) holds up a hand

[Jilly (Master)] What do you mean?

[Jilly (Master)] there is no village of gnomes here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let's slow down a bit.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Why don't you tell me your name and what village you are from first. I am Branwyn.

[Ilero]] (TMO) mutters quietly to Kazimir, "stealing trees?"

[Jilly (Master)] PEOPLE are not stealing trees

[Jilly (Master)] you are stealing the wood back from them

[Jilly (Master)] NOW I see

[Gnome (Master)] I am from a small village north of here

Kazimir Huisto (TMO) shrugs.

[Gnome (Master)] your people come to our forest

[Gnome (Master)] they take the trees

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Is this person human?)

[Gnome (Master)] (no a gnome, and pity that Shi is not here)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Pity that fool. Oh well :P)

[Gnome (Master)] Regets Field

[Thistle (Carissa)] Can't you plant more?

[Gnome (Master)] is your town

[Gnome (Master)] They are attempting to steal from us

[Gnome (Master)] of course we are far too smart for tat

[Gnome (Master)] We are much smarter than any humans here

[Thistle (Carissa)] Um, but why is planting new ones not smart? Then you'd have tree again!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then what is the problem, wise one?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] He is the Lorax. He speaks for the tress. The trees are speaking Viantemense

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] I am sorry , my name is

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Hornbeak Orthaginal and I am here to ask that you Countess Branwyn the Magnificent agree to protect our village

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (oof. that was bad even for me. vietnamese. That's better)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (.....isn't there Mage Orthaginal?)

[Jilly (Master)] Wait Wait Wait

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You would like your village to become a part of Dragon Fen?

[Jilly (Master)] you are from that village

[Jilly (Master)] the farmers and the builders took trees from your wood

[Jilly (Master)] to build homes

[Jilly (Master)] barns

[Jilly (Master)] and then you stole the trees back

[Jilly (Master)] before they could use them

[Thistle (Carissa)] The trees or the wood?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] The trees

[Thistle (Carissa)] But if they took them, weren't they dead then?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Uprooted? Chopped? Broken?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Simple humans

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] You know we are smarter than you

Thistle (Carissa) rolls eyes

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Orthinmadrigal! So no, but close for the name. Sorry it was bugging me. Carry on)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jilly, did our village get built?

[Jilly (Master)] yes of course

[Jilly (Master)] we found the wood in other places

[Jilly (Master)] grins

Jilly (Master) sticks out her tongue to the gnome

[Jilly (Master)] see we are smart

[Thistle (Carissa)] So if he has his wood back, why does it matter?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So no one is stealing Wise Hornbeak's trees any more, correct?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] How many Illusionists have you known?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Enough

[Jilly (Master)] We did not steal any trees

[Jilly (Master)] we just took some from a group of trees

[Jilly (Master)] that was out there

[Jilly (Master)] there is no village there

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] see how well we hide our village

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Countess Branwyn the Magnificent

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] we simply ask that we be put under your protection

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh! Did you make the trees fake like Shi did?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] and of course we will

Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) frowns at Thistle

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Assuming at least one hallucinogenic forest cast by now)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You will?

Shurkural (TMO)] (totally off topic - when you get a moment, where do I set the font colors for individual characters?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (You ask BOB)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (I have to)

[TMO] (AH, no wonder I can't find it)

[Thistle (Carissa)] She made the forest around their house bigger and cooler with magic. It's really nice!

[TMO] (not important for now then. All the guildees are the same color as Ilero is all)

[TMO] (will worry about it later then)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (Lisa?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you said - of course we will)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (showed you as typing was waiting)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I asked you will?)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Of course we will pay a suitable tax rate in exchange

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] for your assistance in protecting our village

[Thistle (Carissa)] What attacks a village that can't be found?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm ... if you have completely hidden your village, I am not understanding why you need my protection?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] As smart as we are

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] there are some creatures that are so dim witted

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] that they cannot be fooled

[Ilero]] (TMO) whispers, "Might get sat on by dragon"

Thistle (Carissa) giggles

Branwyn (Lisa) looks down and tries to hide a smile

[Branwyn (Lisa)] What sorts of stupid creatures are these?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Your farmers are not quite to vacuous that they will cause us a problem

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] there are some unsavory undead that have been stirred up

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (and a pity that Ryan is not here)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is a problem.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Skarp twitches in the corner, hand going for his axe before remembering where he is)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] We would not expect Prince Ilero to brave those dangers again

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Oh wait since he's not here we get his stuff, right? That's his rule!)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (LOL)

[Ilero]] (TMO) looks surprised to be mentioned.

Ilero (TMO)] Uhh.. which dangers is t'is?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (beard trimmer goes to Thistle!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Wooo!!)

Ilero (TMO)] (I've already got one)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are acquainted with Prince Ilero?

[Ilero]] (TMO) looks confused and shrugs behind the gnome's back.

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] His travels in these parts is well known

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] as is yours Countess Mysterious

Ilero (TMO)] (ah fame. Lovely, lovely fame)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you think these undead are coming from the Craniate Wastes?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] and Lord Admiral Indigo

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] we live in the Wastes

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] they come from all around us

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] but they are controlled by those that live in Skull Church

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was afraid of that.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, this is a problem that I would like to address and in doing so your village would be protected.

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Nods, so it is agreed

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] as soon as you take care of the problem we will pay taxes

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] and you will protect us until we do

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Steward Nevin I am sure can work out the arrangements for inclusion in Dragon Fen.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Taxes and what not.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks over at Nevin

Steward Nevin (Master) nods to Branwyn

[Steward Nevin (Master)] looks at the gnome

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So I am glad that you came to me Wise Hornbeak.

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Very Well, so in exchange for the taxes you have currently paid we will provide you with the protection in equivalent form

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Snorts

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] sputters

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] We were here first

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps you can take him to your office?

[Steward Nevin (Master)] Yes you were, thank you for agreeing to that

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Iron out all those pesky details.

[Steward Nevin (Master)] so you should have been paying taxes first before anyone

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (LOL Bob, you are being brutal to yourself. It hurts!)

[Steward Nevin (Master)] so lets us decide how you will rectify your back taxes due

[Steward Nevin (Master)] We can go to my offices

[Thistle (Carissa)] Nevin must have some gnome ancestry. Sometimes he's smart, too.

[Steward Nevin (Master)] The Countess has other more important things to do

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Like killing the people in Skull church?)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Let me grab my sword!!!)

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles and whispers "Thank you!"

[Master] TMO there are new letters I posted today for Marisu

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think we need to address Skull Church sooner than we may have planned.

Ilero (TMO)] (I saw it just as I was logging in here, but have not had time to review them)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wandering undead causing havoc will not do.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (in code!)

Ilero (TMO)] Strap t'em to plows and use t'em turn millwheels or waterscrews? Cheap free labor.

[Jilly (Master)] OH Branwyn

[Indigo (Lisa)] I wonder who's there now? I thought it was supposed to be Tristan's church?

[Jilly (Master)] you need to agree to grant someone the mill rights in Foriso town

[Jilly (Master)] Tristan was in Dryads Lair with us remember?

[Jilly (Master)] He saw us there

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yeah, but then he left.

[Jilly (Master)] did you go home?

[Indigo (Lisa)] It was supposed to be his church. Or Jennevive's.

Jilly (Master) smiles

[Jilly (Master)] Jennevive was with us too

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yeah I went home. Here is home now.

Jilly (Master) pauses

[Jilly (Master)] then nods

[Indigo (Lisa)] But she's here now.

[Jilly (Master)] Yes it is

[Jilly (Master)] Indigo we are home

[Jilly (Master)] but you are living back in the old home

[Jilly (Master)] well I guess it is your home now

[Jilly (Master)] but my home is here

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

[Indigo (Lisa)] We can have lots of homes

[Jilly (Master)] can we?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yup!

[Jilly (Master)] I hope so

[Jilly (Master)] I will go clean up breakfast

Jilly (Master) leaves

[Master] Branwyn or Indigo can make an observation check

[Indigo (Lisa)] She's quiet when she needs to think about something

[Master] there you go

[Lisa] (no check needed)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Not when Lisa has better obs herself)

[Master] grins

[Ilero]] (TMO) mutters to Kazimir, "She not need to t'ink too often."

[Master] lol

Ilero (TMO)] (my son is getting better, but he can still talk nonstop)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] In any event, we need to know who is calling Skull Church home at the moment.

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Undead.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But someone is making them Thistle. That is who we want.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh, um....another undead?

Ilero (TMO)] T'at really bad idea. Hope not.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope not. That would mean a vampire or something like that.

Ilero (TMO)] Hye make sure someone get eye on Church. Not get too close t'ough. Just look at place, see if anyt'ing obvious.

[Master] (Mario? Michael? you two are quiet)

Ilero (TMO)] (I was gonna send Mara and Hugh if they didn't speak up soon. ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You might want to team them up. This is two undead attacks away from the church. The route will be dangerous.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'm reading. Just really tired. sorry. I'll try and participate more

Ilero (TMO)] (just teasing you ;) )

[Mara (MarioHome)] waiting to chime in, the others have all the bases covered

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods.

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Bran. I would be happy to check it out for you

[Master] Only Lisa and TMO are here from the previous visit to Skull Church, and only they from the first visit too

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I can gather some people and Ilero can scout the way with his guild

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] We can clear it out and be done with this business

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Once and for all

[Master] you can question them about what and who and where as none of you have been there except four characters

Ilero (TMO)] Last time it was not someone for local constables. And if someone making undead t'ere, probably same again.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (They've spoken about it though. They did two sessions ago didn't they)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Why would church people make undead? Isn't that against their god or something?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You and Ilero can take charge and choose who you want to come.

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Turns to Ilero. You waana team up for this one?

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Grins

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hugh, you need to listen to Ilero and get a grip on how large this place is.

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Nods

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not only is there are church but a very large underground cavern system.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I always take his advice into consideration....unless he telling me how to climb a pillar. Then I ignore him

[Ilero]] (TMO) grins. "No worries. We kick door open, scare t'em into hills, and t'at t'at."

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Sigh

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Of course there is

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Skar will be good for this trip I think

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) Nods to Ilero. Shall we plan?

Ilero (TMO)] Sure.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There were large numbers of goblins underground. I can't believe we cleared them all out. If you take too small a party and go in there you could easily get swarmed.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Do we do this now, or...)

Ilero (TMO)] Hye t'ink best is just just scout and get looksee before take large group to clear it out.

Branwyn (Lisa) nods

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'm not one for scouting, but May I accompany on this trip? I want to have a firsthand account

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Or just take everyone and recon in force."

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I'll try not to get in the way

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I know. You are hoping to drag this out so you can be missing in time for the Queen's visit!

Ilero (TMO)] Of course.

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

[Ilero]] (TMO) grins and winks at Branwyn.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I shall leave it in your hands, but know that any of us would love to get out for some adventuring if you need us.

Ilero (TMO)] Definitely *not* going inside wit'out full magic backup.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (anything else for the meeting?)

Ilero (TMO)] *NOT

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (I was going to say....)

[Master] grins

[Master] does anyone else have anything for the weekly meeting?

[Master] I do have one more thing to toss into the mix

Ilero (TMO)] (not I)

Ilero (TMO)] (GRENADE!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (duck!)

[Master] but want to make sure everyone else has al their stuff up to date,

[Master] you have the last bits of building being wrapped up

[Master] TMo is getting some new info in the letters about things to do

[Master] Mario did you find the map with the new village names?

[Master] or anyone?

[Mara (MarioHome)] didn’t look too hard

[Master] ok

[Master] so I need to put that out this week

[Master] in some format

[Master] Foriso town is so appropriate for Ilero

[Mara (MarioHome)] if you send it to me, I can host it on Imgur, and add the pic and a link to the Dragon Fen page

[Master] the only way into Dragon Fen from the south is through the track you build from Jistille

[Master] Travelers Way is on the far west

[Master] where the nearest roads are

Ilero (TMO)] (Why is Foriso town appropriate?)

[Master] the Wastes are to the north, with Skull Church to the NW

[Master] Foriso town is the farthest east you can go

[Master] the lighthouse guards / shows the way for those in the swamps

[Master] it is the farthest Ilero can get from skull Church

Ilero (TMO)] (ah, thought it was something to do with Foriso the character, and he was before my time)

[Master] it is the closest town to where Foriso died

[Master] it is the closest town towards the Doeskin estates

[Master] lots of good fun threads to pull together

Ilero (TMO)] (and we have an autocannon)

[Master] so we have a scouting trip to Skull Church to organize

[Master] We have a visit by the Queen to organize

[Master] and then to top that all off

[Master] you have an unannounced visitor for dinner one night

[Master] when everyone is at the Manor House

[Master] so all characters

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lemme guess ...)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh there are so many bad surprise possibilities)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Horde of undead and the grenade is already been used. Doom!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Jenn, Red Cloak just to start)

Ilero (TMO)] (ALL characters/?? O_O)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (The Count come to take Kel's hand as he decided to use them for decoration?)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (they will have morphed into the Brd Sign for all eternity)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (Bird)

[Knave (Master)] Excuse me

Ilero (TMO)] (snerk*

MarioHome is receiving the map Manor first floor...

MarioHome has received the map Manor first floor.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Who who who??)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (*whoa whoa who??)

MarioHome is receiving the map Base Map...

[Thistle (Carissa)] Excuse who what?

MarioHome has received the map Base Map.

[Knave (Master)] I came to seek an audience?

Thistle (Carissa) glances at Branwyn and shrugs

[Thistle (Carissa)] There she is.

Thistle (Carissa) points

Knave (Master) nods, thank you

[Ilero]] (TMO) goes over to the sideboard and pours a glass of wine, then offers it to Knave.

Knave (Master) coughs, Excuse me Countess

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (this is a joke right?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Is it the same group? Or is Shi there this time?)(

[Knave (Master)] (everyone is there)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (And it is that Knave? /me checks for slime)

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at him trying to place him

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) surprised, "Knave?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] What are YOU doing here!

Knave (Master) standing there calmly

[Knave (Master)] I came to make amends

[Knave (Master)] to offer my service

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo!

[Thistle (Carissa)] He wants an audience and there are lots of people here to make an audience!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe he's going to put on a show?

[Kel (MarioHome)] You have lots of 'splainin' to do

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are no longer in the service of Count Drake?

Ilero (TMO)] (by *everyone*, do you also mean the entire Guild?? That would strain the facilities, I think)

[Knave (Master)] I am still sworn to him but I do not think that I am welcome there

[Knave (Master)] (up to you tmO)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This will not do. Please sit down.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] It is probably for the best.

Ilero (TMO) (to Master only)] just as an fyi, Machin and Lina are from somewhere in the Drake estates, and Guiote and Michel are from the d'Ambreville lands

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps you should start from the beginning of how you left the Count.

[Knave (Master) (to TMO only)] ok

[Knave (Master)] I ran out of the castle in front of you

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] And never returned?

[Knave (Master)] no

[Knave (Master)] well no one knows I returned

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Ah.

[Knave (Master)] it is hard being honest

Knave (Master) sips his wine

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I thought everything was settled. Seewick was back.

[Knave (Master)] Yes she is

[Knave (Master)] and they seem to be happy

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Is she safe?

[Knave (Master)] of course

[Knave (Master)] the Count would never hurt her

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And you have served the Count for 5 years you said? Why would you leave?

[Knave (Master)] permanently

[Knave (Master)] I was not

[Knave (Master)] it seemed that

[Knave (Master)] As you saw when you were there

[Knave (Master)] it was very tense

[Knave (Master)] and it seemed best if I left

[Knave (Master)] the Steward was not going to be concerned about me

[Knave (Master)] at least not about my health

[Knave (Master)] no one seriously looked for me after I left

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And so you came here of all places.

[Knave (Master)] I spent time in ghostwood

[Knave (Master)] then I went to the Royal Estates

[Knave (Master)] Then I went to the Vilmar Estates

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] For any particular reason?

[Knave (Master)] everywhere I went I heard about Branwyn the Mysterious

[Knave (Master)] so I thought ai might try to find you here

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs "And you still came here!"

[Knave (Master)] (nevertheless she persisted)

[Knave (Master)] If I am not going to serve anyone

[Knave (Master)] I thought that here would be as good a place as any

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You can see the vast difference between the Drake Castle, the other estates you visited and my home.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This manor cannot even compare to the house you were at before.

[Thistle (Carissa)] There are some undead here, too, though. So it's kind of similar, except they're ghouls not vampires.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thistle!

Thistle (Carissa) looks confused

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They are not "our" undead

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They are pests we are going to exterminate

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh. Um, well someone's undead are here, so it's similar!

Thistle (Carissa) grins

Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549) I cannot speak for the Lady, but we are always in need of skilled individuals. I wouldn’t mind having you aboard.

Ilero (TMO)] Specially if you still come here even after what happened at Drake's.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Were you thinking of joining Ilero's Guild?

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Neith wouldn't mind having him either.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (for what???)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hee hee)

Ilero (TMO)] (a plaything)

Ilero (TMO)] (her new boytoy)

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

[Knave (Master)] What is Ilero’s guild

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (He's very much a spying sort of individual. He also seems to have administrative talent)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] You'll, ah, have to be better at, er, not lying, though.

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (That's why he can go for multiple things in my opinion. But the guild might be useful)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is for scouts.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And climbers.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Did you have any ideas of what you planned to do when you found Branwyn?

[Knave (Master)] I tried to not lie

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] (Carissa, asking the important questions :) )

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods, "I know, but you do need to be more forthcoming. Or get better at it, at least."

Ilero (TMO)] If you willing to come here, hye sure we find somet'ing for you. What you want to do?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We will be having a large party in the house in the coming month. I could use experienced help with that.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps you can help me with that and be thinking of what you would like to do in the future,

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hosting the Queen in this small home should be quite simple for you when I am sure you have dealt with many guests in the Count's castle.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thinks maybe Branwyn doesn't really care what he wants to do after all)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Wondering if BOB is still there...)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (looking for another paper cup)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Haha possibly!)

[Kel (MarioHome)] He just texted, he's suddering devere lag)

[Kel (MarioHome)] and its severe too

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Maybe kLoOge realized it can finally attack him instead of all of us?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)

[Knave (Master)] I was thinking that if I got here, it would sort itself out

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] I hat to say it, but I wouldn’t mind ending a little early tonight.......

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

[Knave (Master)] and now caught up?

[Knave (Master)] good

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ah took late, kLoOge is not that nice to you, Michael)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well it sounds like you have options.

[Knave (Master)] I think that my best option is to learn to work with your group

[Knave (Master)] to serve as I can

[Knave (Master)] (almost but not quite over Michael)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Is there anything else you'd like for us to know before you offer your service?

[Knave (Master)] not that I want you to know no

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Is there anything that you may not want to tell us that would affect the safety or wellbeing of this domain?

[Knave (Master)] nothing that would affect the safety of this domain

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then have some dinner with us and then Jilly shall escort you to the boarding house.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (It's like pulling teeth from a snail. I'll get you eventually)

[Knave (Master)] grins

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'll tell her to bring a spoon and whack you with it if you get out of line!

[Knave (Master)] Who is Jilly?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] She really would, too...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She helps to run the estate and handles certain matters for me

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You'll see.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] She knows everyone and everything.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Good to learn from.

Penelope (Master) coughs

[Penelope (Master)] Excuse me Ilero

Ilero (TMO)] Hmm?

[Penelope (Master)] Master Regor asked me to remind you that your rent payment is due on the first of the month

[Ilero]] (TMO) arches an eyebrow, then nods. "Hokay."

[Ilero]] (TMO) sighs.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] How is Regor these days? Are you working with him?

Ilero (TMO)] As little as possible.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh, I meant Penelope.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She called him Master.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm hoping that he isn't getting out much - as usual.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But how do you owe him rent Ilero, if you aren't even based in Jistille?

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs and glances at the others in the room. "Probably just some business."

Bard (Carissa) sounds of faint (horribly out of tune) singing in the distance getting closer

[Bard (Carissa)] (P.S. BOB is lagging again)

[Bard (Carissa)] (Sorry, can't react with it)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thought so)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we're getting carolers?)

[Ilero]] (TMO) passes close by Branwyn on his way back to his seat and leans down to whisper quietly in her ear, "Probly calling in favor."

[Bard (Carissa)] (Surprise encounter by me! You'll find out :D)

Branwyn (Lisa) grimaces slightly at the thought

Bard (Carissa) singing, "The cuckoo then, on every treEEeee!"

Bard (Carissa) getting closer as he sings, "Mocks married men; for thus sings HEeeE!"

[Ilero]] (TMO) glances curiously toward the door as he continues to his seat.

Bard (Carissa) singing briefly stops to be interrupted by mutter.

[Indigo (Lisa)] What is that?

[Bard (Carissa)] Here? I think it was here...

Ilero (TMO)] (Bob says she's in charge for the moment. ;) )

[Bard (Carissa)] AH! That's a good one!

Bard (Carissa) singing again, "Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo! O, word of fear! Unpleasing to a merried ear!"

[Bard (Carissa)] (Oh no no no. Remember the Guest DMing he brought up a while ago? Hi! It'll be more than a moment. Mwhahaha)

Ilero (TMO)] (lol)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Does someone want to go to the door and find out who is serenading us?

Ilero (TMO)] (good night everybody!)

[Bard (Carissa)] (That's fine. It'll probably go into next session too ;) )

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs and sets down his glass of wine and walks past his chair and to the door.

[Bard (Carissa)] (Promise I'm not trying to kill anyone)

[Hugh D'Ambray (mharm-15549)] Well, Night all :)

mharm-15549 has left the game on Fri Mar 01 22:45:57 EST 2019

[Ilero]] (TMO) opens the door while keeping it between his body and whatever's on the other side.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Paralysis, Poison or Death save: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Carissa] Ilero sees a bard, attempting to sing, and looking very lost and slightly unheaved.

[Carissa] (...is unheaved the word I wanted? Unkept. That works)

[Bard (Carissa)] Good sir! Would you happen to know where I can find the Dragonslayers?

Ilero (TMO)] (unkempt)

Ilero (TMO)] Why?

[Bard (Carissa)] (....sigh)

Ilero (TMO)] (you would get Ilero as your first encounter. :D )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's why God made spellcheck - don't worry about it)

Ilero (TMO)] (disheveled)

Ilero (TMO)] (mussed)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (stop it!)

Bard (Carissa) dramatic sighing, "Alas, I hath lost thy love of my life. I seek help! Help, I say!"

Ilero (TMO)] (The T in TMO stands for Thesaurus)

[Ilero]] (TMO) looks confused. "Oookay." He checks him visually for weapons before allowing him to enter the room.

Bard (Carissa) bows and enters

Ilero (TMO)] Countess Branwyn. T'is is... uh.. Someone.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I see.

[Bard (Carissa)] Sir Francis Bacón, at your service, m'lady.

Bard (Carissa) bows again

[Kel (MarioHome)] (race, age, gender?)

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs and looks out the door to make sure there's no one else, then shuts it.

Ilero (TMO)] (A/S/L?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] May we help you? You seemed to be in a bit of pain out there.

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (Male, uh, adult? Human)

[Kel (MarioHome)] (thanks!!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] You are a knight for the Queen?

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] Brevity is the soul of wit. This is the short and the long of it. I have lost thy love of my life. Without her, I am but a simple man. A simple, broken man.

[Indigo (Lisa)] That is sad.

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] Alas, I seek help in finding her, and have heard words of the Dragonslayers.

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods. "So sad." He walks back to his chair and sits down, obviously not the least bit sympathetic.

[Indigo (Lisa)] So she didn't die. You really lost her?

Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa) looks ready to cry, but puts on a scene of taking a breath and stopping the tears.

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero is in one of his ahole moods again. ;) )

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] Love is bind, and lovers cannot see. I have yet to find where she is.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you know who took her?

[Indigo (Lisa) (to MarioHome only)] - not feeling like talking?

Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa) waves hand, "Only the vaguest of ideas! But I do believe Old Man Miller knows. But delays have dangerous ends, and I am but a single man."

[Kel (MarioHome) (to Lisa only)] Not much to say, just watching, not convinced that th4e bard's 'she' is a person :0)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If Miller knows, perhaps it would be more economical for you to ask him directly rather than to approach a mercenary group.

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] Nay. I know she be in danger, and I have need of others with such glorious reputations to help me face them.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And you are proposing what in exchange for our services?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] )do you have any idea what a 12 lvl mage and a 11th lvl rogue costs?)

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (Heck no, but who says they all need to go?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (teasing - that's only the 2 of us)

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] The most divine-inspiring play! Sonnets to charm your ears!

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] And gold. I do have some gold.

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] But small things make base men proud, do they not?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sir Bacon, where are you from?

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (Haha good point)

[Kel (MarioHome)] (Hamburg , of course!)

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] From the roads, my dear lady! I travel the roads and sing my songs as all the greatest bards do.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Miller is at Red Fern Lake if you are wanting to be close to him)

Ilero (TMO)] So, what is Love's name?

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (Miller will be next week)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (picturing the map already)

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] My dear sweet Calliope.

Ilero (TMO)] (is the guy we think is a dragon?)

[Kel (MarioHome)] Sir Bacon, can you confirm that dear Calliope is a person?

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (Is he? I just told BOB a tavern and he suggested that one so...)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes Miller is a person!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not a dragon)

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] These words are razors to my wounded heart! Why would I not ask for your help were she not so important to me?

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (But Miller might be a dragon? I really should have looked him up)

[Kel (MarioHome)] SO you can or cannot?

Ilero (TMO)] Is Calliope taken by someone, or missing?

Ilero (TMO)] (I may be thinking of the wrong person - I only ran into him once)

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] Of course she is, you Pestiferous lily-livered bugbear!

Kel (MarioHome) wry smile.

[Kel (MarioHome)] wow that escalated quickly

Kel (MarioHome) shrugs

[Indigo (Lisa)] No, he's an elf!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Bugbears are bigger and all hairy

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] I wish to believe she simply be missing, but I do fear she was taken.

Ilero (TMO)] What is obstacle you want help overcoming? Find missing love? Saving kidnapped love? Thawing frozen love's heart?

Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa) frowns at Kel and Indigo

Ilero (TMO)] (you can ignore my question)

Ilero (TMO)] (it was a clarification)

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (All of the above!)

Kel (MarioHome) looks at Indigo, brow furled

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (So probably should go to a Disney movie instead...)

Ilero (TMO)] Who you t'ink may took her?

[Kel (MarioHome)] so someone stole Calliope. Isn't that called kidnapping?

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] I have enemies who wish to do me harm. They could do no greater harm than to steal my love.

Ilero (TMO)] So starting place to find her is Old Man Miller?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Who are your enemies?

Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa) nods, "He was the last to see us together. I believe he may have seen or heard something."

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] Does thou not often make enemies on the road?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not really

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] Some simply do not appreciate my arts.

[Ilero]] (TMO) coughs quietly.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I mean ... a couple ... but we make a lot of friends too.

Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa) mutters, "This is the third lute this week I had to replace."

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] If only we all be so lucky.

Ilero (TMO)] How much help you ask for?

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (Also BOB says he's unable to come back or read this right now so...

Ilero (TMO)] One person, two, seventeen?

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (If I'm in charge, whoever comes gets 100000 XP each! WOO!!)

Ilero (TMO)] (woo!)

Ilero (TMO)] (Marisu is in!)

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] Ah, you surely understand the dangers of these swamps.

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] I am...newer to these parts, and am still learning them...

[Ilero]] (TMO) smiles grimly. "A bit."

Ilero (TMO)] You make it here. Is good job.

Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa) looks ready to sing, glances at new lute, stops.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have been meaning to visit Miller anyway.

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] Yes, well, perhaps you know best who among you could brave them.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We paid for some renovations to his inn a few years back.

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] I know of your deeds, but not of each of you individually.

Ilero (TMO)] Hye could probably send couple scouts along.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So a few of us will go to the inn and see what we are dealing with and then take it from there.

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (Small hint: trying to balance RP and fighting in this little adventure)

Ilero (TMO)] Have check what Lanek say rates are for t'is. Not somet'ing hye ever t'ink about.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] How does that sound?

Ilero (TMO)] (are grunt scouts too low level for what you have planned? Are you planning for full PCs, or lesser?)

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] You have my thanks, dear lady. Although I would not take too many. Dear Sir Miller wasn't happy about the last crowd to visit.

Ilero (TMO)] (I'll be happy to send whoever you desire along)

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (Grunts didn't exist back when I started planning. In terms of monster encounters...just roll well and you'll be good! ;) )

Ilero (TMO)] (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)

Ilero (TMO)] (Good one!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We'll keep that in mind. Do you have a place to stay tonight?

Ilero (TMO)] (if Bran is going along, and you planned for the PCs, it should probably be the PCs that go then. :) )

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] We are such stuff as dreams are made on, rounded with a little sleep. But oh, I've had little sleep and no place for the night.

Ilero (TMO)] (although I suppose technically 3+ level could survive since that's what new or replacement PCs usually are)

[Kel (MarioHome)] We have a room at the Bugbear Cave, com e on!

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] (Nah, go with whoever you think would be most fun for RP. I'm trying to remember who I had in mind, but really, up to you guys. Can adjust as needed)

Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa) mutters, "Hook-nosed Dullard, he is."

Ilero (TMO)] (looking forward to it - and don't mind Ilero's being an ahole. He *really* doesn't like Regor)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jilly was taking another friend to the boarding house tonight. I will tell her to get you a room as well.

[Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa)] Many thanks, my lady.

Sir Francis Bacon (Carissa) starts singing while he waits, "When shepherds pipe on oaten straws~"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are quite welcome. I hope that we may be able to help you.

[Carissa] And scene! Maybe.

[Carissa] Since, you know, Jilly won't appear.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok - I was just going to have bran push food on him so he will stop singing :) )

[Carissa] (Haha you can add that! Probably a good idea)

[Mara (MarioHome)] Mara was just getting ready to duet with hi

[Carissa] (I did say his singing is terrible? ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you did)

[Carissa] So Mara duets, Branwyn hands them both food, then fade to black.

[Carissa] So plan for next week is to go to Old Man Miller and see how this goes.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Lots of surprises tonight!

[Lisa] Would have never guessed Knave or Carissa as guest DM

[Lisa] Yay! :)

[Carissa] I didn't realize it was going to be tonight. It was supposed to be last year. But then Knave and such happened.

[TMO] hehe

[Carissa] And we did what we do best and not do what we're supposed to do :)

[TMO] Who US?

[TMO] pshah

[Carissa] But serious. Didn't expect Knave again so quick. Kinda hope Jilly notices things about him...

[TMO] Ilero feels a bit bad about how he treated him

[Lisa] Indigo doesn't

[TMO] lol

[Lisa] :)

[Carissa] Haha. Indigo might need to gift Jilly a new spoon.

[Lisa] hope bringing Bran isn't too much

[TMO] I gotta go put the kids to bed. If you're still on when I get back I'll chat some more

[Carissa] And if not, night TMO!

[TMO] g'nite! I'm going to try and level up at least one char tonight

[Lisa] I should go soon actually - have not been able to get rid of a cold I've had for a week

[Carissa] Not sure if it's giving away anything or not, but I really don't know if Bran is too much. Some of the encounters will be random rolls.

[Lisa] I wanted to send her there anyway since the dragon incident

[Carissa] But now that Thistle exists, if I end up bringing one of mine, it'll be her.

[Lisa] history on Old Man Miller's?

[Carissa] That works. Might as well take advantage of the visit!

[Carissa] I know nothing about Old Man Miller except BOB's favorite quote. And that it's a tavern.

[Lisa] first place we ever were at 1st level - red dragon takes out the place

[Lisa] gets rebuilt and is a stopping point for when we go and come back from the road

[Carissa] Hahaha out. Welcome to DnD?

[Carissa] *ouch

[Lisa] oh yeah

[Lisa] then we are in dryads lair

[Lisa] silver dragon / man asks for a discreet place to have a meeting in the Mist

[Lisa] we send him to Millers

[Lisa] turns out to be a dragon meeting - things get "heated" and destroys part of Millers

[Carissa] ...a second time??

[Lisa] so Branwyn sent him some gold to fix up the place

[Lisa] yup

[Carissa] There hasn't been a third time, has there?

[Lisa] not that I know of

[Lisa] not sure how Miller will receive Branwyn

[Carissa] Yeah but if a dragon appears maybe she needs to be there...

[Carissa] I don't have one planned. I don't know what BOB has planned.

[Lisa] I sure don't!

[Carissa] lol!

[Lisa] Anyway - cold medicine wearing off

[Lisa] need more drugs

[Carissa] Yes, go sleep! And feel better!

[Lisa] See you later! Goodnight!

[MarioHome] good night all!
