[Master] Home and finding food and drinks

[Master] (1d20) [1d20=19] 19

[Master] I think that makes it

[Master] also Michael, you spent too many non-weapon proficiency slots you have 11 and you used 13

[Master] that is going with the idea that Elvish and Master are both blank because they are for the future

[Master] BUT if you use 2 Weapon slots for Non-weapon slots then you are good....

[Master] but then that stops you from learning Weapon Mastery

[Master] grins

[Lisa] for the moment all is steady

[Master] TMO may not be in tonight

[Master] he posted

[Lisa] yes

[Lisa] he'll do anything to avoid Regor

[Lisa] meeting Mario’s new character at Jistille?

[Lisa] Hi Ryan! :)

[Ryan] Hello!

[Lisa] you guys have a good week?

[Ryan] Pretty good. Just got back from the park with the kids :)

[Ryan] How about yourself?

[Master] Life is good here

[Lisa] not bad - worked at home most of the week

[Master] just relaxing and doing things

[Master] so many things

[Lisa] Hi Carissa!

[Carissa] Hi all! Logged in so you know I'm here, but need 5 more minutes to finish work. Back in a few.

[Carissa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Ryan] Hi! Carissa

[Ryan] Bye Carissa

[Master] I am reading a twitter thread about how some people have said that women could not go into space because we lack the technology for them to pee in space

[Ryan] sigh

[Master] Apparently the venting of pee into space is very pretty. It catches the sunlight and sparkles

[Master] Mary RObinette Kowal is a GREAT author

[Master] won a Hugo this year

[Master] and she is trashing misogynists on twitter

[Master] Peeing or Pooping in space is now a lengthy process (space shuttle era) involving a fan a targeting system and a fair amount of prarpy

[Master] fun poopin in space fact without gravity the poop does not break off as it exits your body

[Master] you have to reach back and help with special gloves

[Ryan] I'm reading her twitter feed, some neat stuff

[Ryan] `What about belching? - Gravity keeps food at the bottom of the stomach. Burps in space tend to be accompanied by solid matter`

[Master] yeah she is a great author

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Carissa] Sorry about that! Thankfully today was a half day so I only worked 9 hrs. Pretty sure that's how that works.

[Lisa] ouch

[Master] her whole twitter feed is a lot of fun

[Master] and several astrophysicist joined in too

[Master] her last couple of books are really really good

[Master] plus odd ball fact she trained with the Henson Company and is a puppeteer

[Master] BUT now that Shi and Thistle are back

[Master] and Branwyn could use some interactions along with Skarp

[Master] and or visiting Jistille

[Master] Jistille

[Lisa] whatever you would like to do

[Carissa] Good with whatever, no brain power atm to initiate things

[Master] so Lisa

[Master] you get to set the agenda

[Lisa] can you read the minutes of the last meeting?

[Master] It was decided that Branwyn would storm the castle

[Master] have fun!

[Carissa] Napalm for the win!!

[Lisa] sorry - was on about 30 city websites today

[Carissa] Can talk logistics of who is going to Jistille?

[Carissa] Sorry Loosend

[Lisa] Branwyn did not decide that was next stop

[Carissa] And there's the opening

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] So, what is the plan?

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) hesitantly gestures towards empty Tiberius spot

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Guessing he has his own spot or something at the table)

[Lisa] not sure I am ready for IC

[Lisa] I was thinking Loosend first and then Jistille on way back but then bob said quellcon and then indicated Jistille first and then quellcon and then loosend

[Master] Jistille is south an hour or two Quelcon is northwest past Skull Church

[Master] so the opposite direction

[Carissa] I am lost, but okay.

[Lisa] quellcon is on the way to loosend but Jistille is not, correct?

[Carissa] (P.S. Is extra three peeps EXP bonus at 7:30 or 8:00?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I'm confused but that's a natural state for me)

[Lisa] lol

[Master] Farmers Turn is the road that you sometimes take to Loosend

[Lisa] are you close to leveling or something?

[Lisa] :)

[Master] you normally take the Dry Road

[Master] (all listed on the site)

[Master] either will take you north to the Chandler Cowles River where Loosend is

[Carissa] (haha no, but I remember these little things.)

[Carissa] (Well, Thistle might be...dunno)

[Master] typically you go to Redfern Lake talk with Old Man Miller and take the Dry Road north

[Master] but because the Queen is heading to Quellcon Estates

[Master] you could go with her

[Master] up to you

[Master] Shi'Nynze XP award: 333. Next level in 217286.

[Master] Skarphedin XP award: 333. Next level in 1138.

[Master] Branwyn XP award: 333. Next level in 205815.

[Carissa] (Woo! And no, not close to leveling apparently ;) )

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Neat :) )

[Lisa] we had dead people at the last wedding we attended so why not extra dead people at a funeral?

[Lisa] if this guy is there - there will be violence

[Carissa] Dead or murdered? I mean murder becomes dead but...

[Master] actually I should award all the XP for Third Time is Tradition to this point I guess

[Master] as you discuss

[Master] brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Lisa] what do you think? possibly rush the confrontation?

[Lisa] which I do not think bob wants to do ...

[Lisa] set up this whole church thing and then we run into them so we can create a possible diplomatic incident at a funeral? what kind of person does that? :)

[Carissa] Us? :)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I think the last time we did something he didn't want us to do, it was going into the crypts three times ....)

[Lisa] I think he wants us to go with the queen though

[Carissa] It's a tough call. Would he actually attack or would that be a good place to get some maybe talk in? Doubt he'd listen. He may not attack us right away, either, but then what?

[Lisa] would probably take away encounters

[Carissa] Or start another civil war ;)

[Lisa] if Tiberius is not alive by the time she sees this guy she will strike first

[Lisa] I'm not worried about him

[Carissa] Walk the walk!

[Lisa] I just need the PCs that were there to announce him as soon as they see him

[Carissa] Okay, I'm still not in the right brain set. So I want to make sure I understand the concern then?

[Carissa] Go with queen to auntie's funeral, possible confrontation that may or may not be magical, and then...?

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lisa] well if we attack him in the privacy of skull church we control the narrative

[Carissa] I guess I expected more EXP because that "short trip" felt like a lifetime.

[Lisa] we show up uninvited to a family event and start fireballing people ...

[Carissa] So, the unexpected as expected, good.

[Carissa] But also drags more than him into the us vs them narrative

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (So, how high up in the succession is Branwyn? If you go with royalty into a confrontation, I feel like that is important)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Might start calling you Queen Branwyn by the time this is over)

[Carissa] Oh good point to the point of, if Queen dies, has she named a successor?

[Master] grins

[Lisa] she hasn't named anyone yet

[Carissa] OR will the Queen tell Branwyn to stop? I don't know diplomacy.

[Lisa] she is young

[Carissa] And so with her dying breath she'll name Branwyn, got it.

[Master] Lisa can explain to Ryan and Carissa how succession works here in Drillian

[Lisa] I bet Onald gained most of his levels back

[Carissa] Pick from families, but she wasn't from one of those families or something, right?

[Lisa] she was

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I mean, Lisa just said that Branwyn would attack on sight. If Queenie tells Branwyn to stop and she doesn't....)

[Carissa] Ah, but not the expected one

[Carissa] Hence the war, yes?

[Lisa] just not a favorite and Toybin was not on the list at all

[Carissa] That's right. I knew someone wasn't on the list. Forgot who.

[Lisa] queen chooses a daughter of one of the estate holders to marry her son

[Lisa] that girl becomes next queen

[Lisa] last queen had no sons to use so picked both parties

[Lisa] so this queen has a son

[Lisa] her son would marry one of the estate holders daughters

[Master] of which Branwyn happens to have a daughter

[Carissa] And an estate, yes?

[Lisa] and now Branwyn has an estate and a daughter so eventually she could be in the running

[Lisa] daughter that is

[Lisa] the mage queen? when was the last time that happened?

[Carissa] Ah, the daughter not Branwyn

[Master] so protecting Branwyn's daughter for the next decade and a half at least

[Lisa] anyway that's how it works

[Lisa] lol

[Lisa] not if Tiberius has anything to say about it

[Lisa] he wants to take the toddlers adventuring

[Lisa] but to Ryan - if queen commands her to stop she would

[Lisa] but if she could get a nice first shot in that would be nice

[Carissa] Preferable not an AOE shot.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I mean, fireball was brought up...

[Lisa] so want to go to a funeral?

[Lisa] fireball would be my spell of last resort

[Lisa] Branwyn is good

[Carissa] But chaotic :)

[Carissa] Sure! Could be fun!

[Master] Or you can bypass it and get to Loosend and back maybe before the whole thing is over with

[Carissa] Or deadly. Or both.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] PowerWord: Death

[Lisa] she would not cast a spell that would blast a bunch of innocents

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Power Word: Kill, rather

[Carissa] lol I know, no worries

[Lisa] I just said it for the effect of blasting him

[Carissa] Hmm, so why would we want to go to Loosend first...?

[Lisa] going with the queen should take away chance of encounters on the way

[Carissa] So Tiberius is alive and can go to the funeral and do the dead kill?

[Lisa] we would be travelling with the royal party

[Carissa] So travel with royal party towards Loosend, and either go then to funeral or to Loosend?

[Lisa] the only good thing about the funeral is we get the scoop on the quellcon family - where Charlie fits in etc.

[Master] on the other hand you will be traveling with Tiberius' corpse

[Lisa] I don't have a problem going - just a lot of ifs with it

[Master] weekend at Quellcon's

[Lisa] room scroll?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Large barrel that everyone ignores?

[Lisa] Branwyn is having a hard time looking at Tiberius in pieces

[Carissa] I thought room scroll. Then no one knows.

[Lisa] and she doesn't have to look at him

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Probably the best option

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] ()

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I said, OOC)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] test

[Master] We are here

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (k, it wasn't posting for a bit)

[Lisa] I've seen dead people I've cared about and so then I am picturing that and them in two pieces and then picturing having to take them across town by myself in the back of my car and transferring those thoughts to what bran must be feeling/thinking

[Lisa] so wrapped up and in room scroll

[Carissa] Agree

[Master] as for who to leave back at Dragon Fen you have Kel and either Kenna or Snee

[Master] when Mario is here can decide if Mara is at the church or traveling

[Carissa] Snee has a death wish. Therefore I feel she'd LOVE to confront the murderer.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I mean, yeah, you aren't wrong)

[Lisa] leave indigo I think

[Lisa] take one of the apprentices?

[Lisa] leave who tmo brings until he is in? maybe Ilero wants a vacation and Shur might want to go

[Lisa] so Skarp, bran, tmo PC, Shi, Talwin, Snee, Mara

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Sounds good)

[Carissa] Sure

[Carissa] Would a guildee come or not?

[Lisa] are numbers of chars an issue Bob?

[Lisa] it seemed like it for skull church - if not then why not thistle and one apprentice and maybe a guildee

[Master] not at all

[Carissa] Thistle is training still, I think.

[Master] the only issue with the first visit to Skull Church was that it was a scouting mission so as not to get you too focused on solving it in one go

[Master] not sure how that worked out

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] Right....scouting....yeah.....

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] lol

[Lisa] thistle is training?

[Carissa] Yeah, reason she didn't go on the first mission.

[Carissa] Two NWP to train up, thief related. Too long ago, but she still had to finish a week or something.

[Lisa] but it's been a week since the first time ...

[Carissa] ...so I need to see how much training she had left, okay....

[Carissa] How long ago was that??

[Lisa] have to look at chat logs

[Carissa] lol, I know, trying to remember how long ago IRL it was

[Master] March 29th

[Carissa] Thank you

[Carissa] A lifetime ago, like I said earlier...

[Master] BUT also for Ryan

[Master] Skarp did level up

[Master] is now 7th level

[Lisa] Kye 16th left on first trip

[Lisa] Yay!!

[Master] so you get to roll for more HP

[Master] and check your saving throws etc.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (yay, meat shield upgrade)

[Master] so in order is update your next level XP

[Master] found on the site

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

[Master] and then update your level on your sheet and roll a d10 for more HP

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (ooh, 3 attacks per 2 rounds, nice)

[Master] and check thac) , saving throws, if you get new proficiencies, etc.

[Lisa] now the 23rd

[Lisa] so 8 days almost 1 week

[Master] and thank you Lisa

[Master] so Ryan Skarp went up in level in one week of adventuring, grins

[Master] five months to play out 8 days

[Master] after zipping through 2 years in three sessions

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] lol, sounds about right

[Carissa] Yeah but didn't the adventure when I started take like 3 years for two months?

[Carissa] Can't find exact timing....it was 4 thief levels and 2 NWP. She was training with whoever was fastest, but don't see mention of how long that'd take...

[Carissa] Let's see, and everyone was in Loosend before so that was half of it...

[Carissa] So we had 14 weeks of training. How much of Thistle's training could be done in 14 weeks?

[Carissa] Two NWP. Which means...unless she could train two at once, she still had her 4 levels worth of thief training to do.

[Lisa] Mario’s not coming in tonight?

[Carissa] That's what she's doing now if there was no overlap. However long that takes.

[Carissa] (Most of this is type out loud, still work through it)

[Master] texted Mario

[Master] and no overlap only one skill at a time

[Master] so Thistle is staying home

[Master] 14 weeks is two NWP

[Master] or two levels of thief

[Master] which ever you choose

[Carissa] NWP. Thief she was being trained for by Regor/Ilero/Penelope/whoever was fastest

[Carissa] So she still has lots of training left...dang

[Master] so Thistle has her two NWP

[Master] and now 4 training sessions in thief skills

[Master] which will depend on how much she wants to pay/owe

[Master] someone with a high wisdom trains faster

[Master] which is not Penelope or Ilero

[Lisa] what is the effect coming off Jenn, radius of evil?

[Carissa] Exactly. Chat says back then I settled on Regor, but doesn't mean I understand if that's good or bad :P

[Master] grins

[Master] so I think now we go visit Regor

[Master] Branwyn can take Shi and Thistle there

[Master] Skarp can tag along

[Master] to go visit Regor the Mad

[Master] and which effect off of Jenn?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she has a big red ring around her)

[Carissa] She does? I don't see it. Just red text for her name.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (jilly has a yellow ring)

[Lisa] Talwin no longer targets Indigo.

[Carissa] Ah, I was too far zoomed in. I do see a white ring.

[Carissa] Big one

[Master] I do not see either Jilly's or Jenn's

[Carissa] Thistle moved 1'08".

[Carissa] Indigo moved 1'05".

[Master] but I have a guess

[Carissa] Hmm, doesn't look attached to anyone

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm at 300% zoom on map - doesn't matter, I was just curious)

[Carissa] Moved the ones who'd be "center" of it

[Master] How is that

[Master] Jennivive moved 2'06".

[Master] Jennivive moved 5'00".

[Carissa] Nope

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (gone)

[Master] ok

[Carissa] Big white ring still there

[Master] Shi'Nynze moved 1'05".

[Master] Shi'Nynze moved 2'08".

[Master] [Ilero]] moved 1'07".

[Master] [Shurkural]] moved 2'08".

[Carissa] That

[Master] big white ring is Shur's range

[Master] the other was a threatened area

[Carissa] I should have moved more people...

[Master] to show when they could hit you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jilly moved 6'08".

[Master] no answer by the way from Mario on when he will be in

[Master] Michael said he will be late work issues

[Master] TMO and Spring are not in

[Master] so just the three of you to lead the charge

[Master] Ryan is updating his character sheet I am guessing

[Carissa] Three Musketeers or Three Stooges?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Yes, sorry, I am going through the pages. Sorry, I will refocus and look at that later)

[Master] no update away

[Master] will be good for you

[Master] first time

[Master] ask questions

[Carissa] No rush

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Remind me what dice to use for HP?)

[Master] d10

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

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Roll #1: (d10) [1d10=6] 6

[Master] plus if you get a con bonus

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Doesn't look like it

[Master] so is the plan to go along with the Royal Party to Quellcon then continue to Loosend?

[Master] or stay for the funeral?

[Master] or take the shorter way to Loosend

[Carissa] Regor first, I thought. One step at a time?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I’m ok for checking out the funeral - nothing gets offered without a reason)

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AREppyQf5uw

[Carissa] Yes

[Master] yes to Regor before leaving

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but yes Regor first)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Ryan - do you need help leveling?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (So, my understanding is that I just change my saves by subtracting 1 from each of them, and then subtract 1 from my THACO)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (And then add the 6 to my max HP)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (also in the top right box change your level to 7 in both places)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and put in on the top the xp for 8th level in Next Level)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Which brings me to what has become my traditional embarrassing question of the night: how do I edit my character sheet again?)

[Carissa] Right click Skarp’s' name :)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (click edit on the bottom)

[Carissa] ...er if you didn't bring it up

[Master] no to saves yes to Thac0

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (imma going to hide my head in shame)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I meant that I ask at least one stupid question a session)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (when you change a field hit Enter because sometimes changes don't take unless you hit enter)

[Master] your saves change based on the chart on the page

[Carissa] Edit on bottom. Remember to hit enter when you enter a number. kLoOgE might reverse it if you don't when you save

[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)

[Skarphedin (Ryan) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Class Levels - Character Level: (L) : CHANGED: 7 (6).

[Carissa] Nah you're fine. Takes a few levels to really remember how to properly level

[Skarphedin (Ryan) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Combat - Max Hit Points:: CHANGED: 56 (50).

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (For the saves, I am a bit confused. It looks like I should have Paralysis 11, for example, but I have 14)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so a new day new spells? no one drugged Branwyn?)

[Master] yes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (dwarves have specials or just a mistake?)

[Master] yes to dwarves having special detection proficiencies

[Master] listed on that page

[Carissa] Or did you level twice since you made him?

[Carissa] At level 3-4 it was 13, but is now 11

[Carissa] Or maybe it was wrong when first made

[Carissa] You're looking at the Saving Throws page, right? To update them?

[Master] Ok saving throws are one thing,

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Yes)

[Master] Saving throws have a standard number on the page

[Master] then dwarves get bonuses for them

[Master] based on Con

[Master] PLUs they have detection proficiencies

[Master] that they get that increase based on level

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (imma gonna weep quietly in the corner, brb)

[Carissa] Yes so sheet will list it, then calculate proper for character based on other factors

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (So, just put down what is listed for my level?)

[Carissa] What is under Saving Throws should match what is on the website

[Master] detection proficiencies are the same, they go up at level 8

[Master] checking that now Carissa

[Skarphedin (Ryan) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Saving Throws - Paralysis, Poison or Death:: CHANGED: 10 (14). Rod, Staff or Wand:: CHANGED: 12 (18). Petrification or Polymorph:: CHANGED: 11 (15). Breath Weapon:: CHANGED: 12 (17).

[Carissa] Then kLoOge will recalculate it other places needed. Or, as I understand it, you only need to edit that part of the sheet. Bob will correct me if I'm wrong

[Carissa] g

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (k, so I put the values that were under level 7. I thought that I followed that page when I created Skarp, but I dunno)

[Carissa] Don't confuse it with temp modifiers, either. Those should be blank.

[Master] for saving throws for dwarves and gnomes you have to add it the bonuses

[Master] so for saving throws

[Carissa] Huh, who knew.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Oh, that might be it then)

[Master] Skarp gets a plus 4 to his saves versus wands, staves rods and spells

[Carissa] **correction: temp modifiers should be blank except race specifics

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but the better your saving throws are the lower the number)

[Master] so whatever number you have because of level 7

[Master] then subtract 4 because of that

[Master] and poison also

[Master] but not death and paralysis

[Master] just have to remember that one Ryan

[Carissa] Curiosity question: where on the site are you seeing that?

[Master] in the Players Handbook

[Master] I do not think it is on the site actually

[Master] it should be on the saving throw page

[Master] but it is not

[Master] which is why I brought up the book

[Carissa] Okay making sure I'm not looking past anything. Thanks :)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (So, I changed Magical Spell; Rod, Staff or Wands; Paralysis, Poison, or Death)

[Master] you are correct Carissa

[Master] when you hit commit I will see all the changes

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (But Death and Paralysis will need to be the +4 value)

[Skarphedin (Ryan) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Saving Throws - Paralysis, Poison or Death:: CHANGED: 6 (10). Rod, Staff or Wand:: CHANGED: 8 (12). Magical Spell:: CHANGED: 13 (17).

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Howard Plum modified: Spells - CHANGED: Magic Missile -- # Memorized: 3 (+0), CHANGED: Invisibility, 10' Radius -- # Memorized: 1 (+0),

[Master] so that is wrong Ryan, for the Poison,

[Master] I know you get the plus 4 but not against Para or Death

[Master] so when you roll a save versus Poison you have to remember the plus 4

[Master] the rod staff want and spell are correct

[Skarphedin (Ryan) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Saving Throws - Magical Spell:: CHANGED: 9 (13).

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Fixed)

[Master] need to change Poison back up by 4

[Master] but yes the rest look right

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I did...?)

[Master] it should be 10 is 6

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Ah, forgot to commit. Common flaw of mine, as old girlfriends would tell me)

[Master] LOL

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (That should be fixed now)

[Master] not yet

[Master] I fixed now

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Then I am not sure what happened, because I hit commit....)

[Master] you forgot to hit enter after you typed in the number I bet

[Master] but you are now a bit better

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (goes back to weeping)

[Master] and ready to go visit Regor the Mad at Jistille Estates

[Master] Lisa?

[Master] who is going both Bran and Indigo?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (this is just to Jistille and back correct?)

[Master] yes

[Master] one day

[Master] or less

[Master] Indigo goes back and forth all the time

[Master] zero encounter rolls

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (k - then Indigo and Penelope can go)

[Master] you have a safe path you built

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yup)

[Master] Shi is bringing Thistle

[Master] and Skarp is there too

[Master] so you gather your thoughts and head south into Jistille

[Master] Branwyn wants to stop at the Orchard house but maybe on the way back

[Master] so going past

[Master] into the village

[Master] much larger now than before

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (You must gather your party before venturing forth)

[Master] the Church of the Defending Mage has a new bell

[Master] the Mage's Tower in the middle of town has a clear path around it

[Master] with a small well that has appeared outside of it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (whose tower?)

[Master] did Bran want to bring Howard ? he lives here now

[Master] Branwyn's tower

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no Howard and Johan are watching the house and kids with jilly)

[Master] So Branwyn visits and sees a new well near the door to her tower

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's a nice addition

[Penelope (Master)] Howard needed a place for people to place petitions and offerings

[Indigo (Lisa)] Lots of things have changed the past couple years

[Penelope (Master)] so he built that to let people put them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] In a well?

[Penelope (Master)] well there is no water down there

[Penelope (Master)] that I know of

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And what sort of petition is he answering?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Really? I tossed some coins in for wishes...maybe that's why they didn't come true.

[Penelope (Master)] I am not sure he ever does answer

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs "I shall have to discuss this with him"

[Penelope (Master)] (TMO is 30 minutes out)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Could have just built a box or some such. Would have been more efficient...

Branwyn (Lisa) mutters to herself "Offerings!"

[Thistle (Carissa)] And less deceptive...

[Penelope (Master)] Branwyn the Mysterious answers those who are strong of heart and pure of mind

Penelope (Master) laughs lightly

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not if I don't see the questions I don't.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is ridiculous

[Penelope (Master)] I do not think anyone ever called you the All Seeing

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Branwyn the Indecipherable?

[Penelope (Master)] I do think he just got tired of answering the door every time someone came knocking

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But Howard should not be taking coin or requests he is not prepared to take care of himself

[Thistle (Carissa)] Branwyn the Bright!

Penelope (Master) looks at Thistle Did your dreams come true?

[Thistle (Carissa)] So he'll give me my money back? I mean, my wishes didn't come true yet.

Thistle (Carissa) shakes head

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Branwyn the Shiny?

[Penelope (Master)] Have you any dreams you like yourself?

[Thistle (Carissa)] I keep my visions to myself.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Um, most of the time.

Branwyn (Lisa) glances at Skarp "Does that look like that name fits me?"

Medoro (Master) runs up and TACKLES Branwyn giving her a huge HUG

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] smiles slightly. "We could employ a wizard to help make it a bit more apt a description."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oof!

[Medoro (Master)] Branwyn!

Medoro (Master) coughs

[Medoro (Master)] sorry

[Medoro (Master)] steps back

[Medoro (Master)] and bows

[Medoro (Master)] Countess Branwyn the Mysterious

Skarphedin (Ryan) smiles slightly. "We could employ a wizard to help make it a bit more apt a description."

[Medoro (Master)] Welcome home

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "Hello to you Medoro"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] How are you?

[Medoro (Master)] I am at a loss

[Medoro (Master)] the Missus is away

[Medoro (Master)] I am sorry

[Medoro (Master)] The Queen is off traveling

Medoro (Master) shakes his head

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It must be nice and quiet for you

[Medoro (Master)] you have me all fumbling again

[Medoro (Master)] Who are your friends?

Medoro (Master) smiles at Indigo It is good to see you Master Indigo

Medoro (Master) slight frown at Penelope

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh please. You know you don't have to do anything for me

Medoro (Master) looks at Branwyn

[Medoro (Master)] You saved our lives

Indigo (Lisa) waves "Hello Medoro!"

[Medoro (Master)] I owe you forever

[Medoro (Master)] You saved the Missus

[Medoro (Master)] she would not be here

[Medoro (Master)] would not be Queen

[Medoro (Master)] the Kingdom owes you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Shush! We are like family. There is no owing just friendship, loyalty and affection to the Mosskins

Medoro (Master) warm smile

[Medoro (Master)] why are you here?

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs "Well, I was hoping we could have a word with Regor"

Medoro (Master) frowns

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He may have information that could help us.

[Medoro (Master)] Of course he does

Medoro (Master) shakes his head

[Medoro (Master)] I do wish the Missus would let me brick up that door

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Medoro (Master)] see just what happens to him then

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He would just slide under it, snake that he is

Penelope (Master) smiles

[Branwyn (Lisa)] snakes always find a way

[Medoro (Master)] You know how to find him

[Medoro (Master)] I will set up a dinner for you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes. Before we go down, how is Lord Mosskin?

Medoro (Master) wilts slightly

[Medoro (Master)] He is good

[Medoro (Master)] so far

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He is ill?

[Medoro (Master)] he lost his left leg last spring

[Medoro (Master)] he is now hopping

Branwyn (Lisa) gasps "How?"

[Medoro (Master)] infection I suppose

[Medoro (Master)] he refused to let anyone look at it

[Medoro (Master)] the war needed the healers he said

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is silly.

Medoro (Master) looks at Indigo

[Medoro (Master)] Do you know anyone more stubborn than Lord Mosskin?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummmm ... Queen Wilimina Mosskin?

Medoro (Master) laughs

[Indigo (Lisa)] How did she not force a priest on him?

Skarphedin (Ryan) hides a smile.

[Medoro (Master)] She was not here for most of the year

Medoro (Master) walking with you into the keep

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Is there anything that can be done at this point? Not for the leg that has gone obviously, but is he still in ill health?

[Medoro (Master)] He needs to stop hopping on the parapets

[Medoro (Master)] He needs to stop trying to prove he is just fine

Branwyn (Lisa) rolls her eyes "Well yes that would be helpful. That man!"

[Medoro (Master)] I will go get a supper for you ready

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Ryan - he is also blind so picture blind one legged man hopping on the keep's parapets)

[Medoro (Master)] you will need it after him

[Medoro (Master)] Regor that is

Medoro (Master) HUGS Branwyn again

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you!

Medoro (Master) runs off

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We need to get someone to look at Lord Mosskin.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Shi do you have diagnostic skills?

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

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] No. Just healing, but I do have a spell for repairs.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Dunno if Healing NWP counts)

[Penelope (Master)] I am going to go check on Jill

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thanks, Shi. We'll have to see how he is I suppose. Indigo, if we can't see what is wrong today, you must go to the church and bring someone to him.

[Penelope (Master)] see if she has the daggers ready

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Penelope in surprise "You don't want to see Regor?"

Penelope (Master) shrugs, I will let you have your time with him

[Penelope (Master)] and Shi can introduce Thistle to him

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I can?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I've never met him.

[Penelope (Master)] I take no responsibility for her

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Ah...that....

[Penelope (Master)] I will join you for supper

Penelope (Master) kisses Indigo

Branwyn (Lisa) nods

Thistle (Carissa) shoots her a grin

Penelope (Master) leaves for the other side of the keep's yard

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Shi and Thistle "He'll size her up and see if he wants to work with her"

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) at Thistle, "You haven't been training all this time?"

Thistle (Carissa) shrugs, "Ilero said something, but I couldn't understand him."

TMO has joined the game on Fri Jul 19 21:34:10 EDT 2019

TMO is receiving the map New Manor...

TMO has received the map New Manor.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Hello TMO!)

[Master] that is amazing

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi TMO! :) )

[TMO] (hiya)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (HA!)

[Master] do not read up

[TMO] (yessir)

[Master] Only the last 10 lines or so

[Master] grins

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Makes it harder to throw you under the bus when you're here!)

[TMO] day I've had, sure, why not? ;)

[Thistle (Carissa)] lol ;)

[TMO] (actually not too bad overall, just some annoying bits here and there)

[Master] so my guess is Ilero would NOT be here but he might send someone from the guild

[Master] to go visit Regor the Mad

[TMO] (blurry spot on right eye, made an appt next week to get it looked at, just in case. Then 15 minutes before leaving work, crown fell off a tooth. I was just trying to see if I could get it back on )

[TMO] (other than that, day went okay)

[Master] uff

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Ooph, sorry to hear that)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not good)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Ouch

[TMO] (these things always happen right before the weekend)

[TMO] (not the first time a crown's fallen off - it doesn't happen often, but it's a hazard of the situation)

[Master] you are at Jistille Estates so there are a few crowns around here

[TMO] what do you need from me?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Don't tell me this. Getting my first crown next week)

[Master] presuming Ilero is drinking still who would he send to visit Regor with Branwyn?

[TMO] (I've had multiple crowns over the last 20 years. it's only happened 3 times, and 1 of them was completely my fault)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Shi and Thistle are with her, Thistle hoping to get her 4 thief levels trained from him since he has higher WIS)

[TMO] (hint: do not eat Bit O' Honey with a temporary crown on)

[TMO] is this still the same night? or the next day?

[Master] same day

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Haven't touched it since filling from the root canal so won't change once I get the temp crown, but good to know!)

[Master] Ilero is drinking

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Drunk Ilero could be fun. No English, though)

[Master] which is where you came in

[Master] Thistle (Carissa) shrugs, "Ilero said something, but I couldn't understand him."

[TMO] well, he did say he could go last week. I don't think he was expecting it to be immediately, but whatever.

[TMO] (at the moment, he's still in Aelan-mode)

[Master] so Branwyn heads into the Keep

[Master] around a new large table in the main room

[Master] glancing up at the draperies that were replaces the last time her fireball went off a bit too close

[Master] and through the back of the kitchen

[Master] and down the back stairs to the dungeon

[Master] pausing at the bottom of the stairs

[Master] Branwyn, Indigo, Shi, Thistle, Skarp and .......

[TMO] sure, Ilero. no reason to switch up[

[Master] anyone you want TMO

[Master] up to two

[TMO] none from the Guild were there to know what to ask

[Master] very well

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Feel free to call out Thistle who apparently hasn't been training while you all were gone which she blames on Ilero)

[Master] bottom of the stairs empties into a plain stone floor with a thick wooden door across from it

[TMO] (how long did the journey here take?)

[Master] less than two hours

[Master] is like 4 miles

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thanks to our lovely road)

[TMO] (k, so still feeling the wine, but not staggeringly so)

[Master] so you have a square room, stone floor and a large wooden door on the other side

[Master] what do you do?

[Ilero]] (TMO) snags a piece of fruit from the kitchen as he slouches through.

[Master] Time of Day: 01:27 PM. Day 23 Be ___ se, Kye {Late Winter} 23rd, 348 SKR.

Indigo (Lisa) walks up and knocks loudly on the door

Ilero (TMO)] Know what you wants to ask the bastard? Best know before going in.

[Master] there is a dried apple for Ilero

Skarphedin (Ryan) glances around curiously.

[Master] and Indigo can make a dex check

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: DEX check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!

[Master] Indigo suddenly remembers and JUMPS up

[Thistle (Carissa)] (That read oddly English...)

[Master] and a metal tray comes FLYING out of the bottom of the door and SLICES across the room into ....

[Master] Thistle Shi and Skarp can make Dex checks

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Skarphedin: DEX check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

[(Carissa)] Shi'Nynze: DEX check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 [MODIFIED (+1+1)] - ROLL FAILED against 16!!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thistle: DEX check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Ouch, come on Shi. Climbing trees again??)

[Master] so Shi is there and SLAM a metal tray comes sliding across the room into her ankles and does (1d2) [1d2=1] 1 points of damage

[Master] Shi'Nynze's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 32 (-1) - Lightly Wounded

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) sucks in a breath and hops a little but doesn't say anything

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oops! Sorry. Are you all right Shi?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Just like a stubbed toe.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) winces slightly

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero wasn't in the room, right?)

[Master] yes he is

[Master] Branwyn and Ilero on the stairs watching

Ilero (TMO)] (ok)

[Master] They have both seen that trick a few times

Skarphedin (Ryan) picks up the tray.

[Ilero]] (TMO) takes a bite of his apple and gestures with it. "Oh, hey... you mights want to watch out for t'at."

[Master] Skarp can see there is a fine sharp edge to one of the short sides

Skarphedin (Ryan) eyes it, grimacing.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Yes....thank you for that warning....

[Master] ground and sharpened like a knife edge

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs and swallows his bite of apple.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Not the most friendly of welcomes.

Lisa has left the game on Fri Jul 19 21:52:15 EDT 2019

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (So unwelcoming Lisa left!)

[Master] so

[Master] you have a thick locked wooden door in front of you

[Master] the dungeon

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) more carefully watching Ilero

Ilero (TMO)] (I TMO do not remember the routine from the last time we were here)

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Jul 19 21:54:13 EDT 2019

Lisa is receiving the map New Manor...

Lisa has received the map New Manor.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (test)

Ilero (TMO)] (do we just walk right in, or wait for him to answer the door?)

Indigo (Lisa) yells "REGOR! Open the door!"

[Master] no response

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Give me and my axe a good few swings, and I could open that door for you.

[Ilero]] (TMO) sighs and steps toward the door.

[Master] I love that Ryan and Carissa just think it is normal to tell the person in the dungeon to open the door

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (For Regor? Probably :P)

Ilero (TMO)] (do any of us have the key?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Want me to warp it open?

[Master] nope

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If it's just wood...

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] And a few tiny pieces of steel...

[Ilero]] (TMO) waves his hand at Shi'Nynze, as if shooing her back.

[Indigo (Lisa)] If we damage it, we'll just make him mad

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shrugs and steps back

[Indigo (Lisa)] Well, madder

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] There are worse things to be.

[Ilero]] (TMO) pops his neck and checks to make sure no extra traps have been added to the door.

Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] [Ilero]]: Thief ability - Find/remove traps* check:(d100) [1d100=23] 23 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 65!!

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Attack: Hrotti:: is now ARMED.

[Master (to TMO only)] right there on the left center hinge a new dart trap that shoots out

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa) (to Master only)] Can I do a secret door and concealed door check for Shi? Probably looking for it in such a place

[Master] yes to Carissa

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Both or one?

[Ilero]] (TMO) sights back from the door to the wall behind and gestures for people to move aside if anyone is in front of the door.

[Master] both

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Secret (d6) [1d6=4] 4

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] concealed (d6) [1d6=6] 6

[Ilero]] (TMO) pops the trigger on the trap.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] So... no. Guess she's still in a funk.

[Master] Shi does not find any extra doors in the room

[Master] but Thistle does see Ilero go over to a hinge and POP out a dart

Ilero (TMO)] (or is that an extra roll to remove trap?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] How does Penelope see him every week like this?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Might be a good idea to ask her.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh! Can I have that!

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Your wife has the scars to prove it

Indigo (Lisa) nods

[Indigo (Lisa)] Huh?

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs and hands the dart to Thistle. "Take care, might be poisoned."

Thistle (Carissa) holds it out to Shi

[Thistle (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze: Venom Handling check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Master] no poisoned

[Indigo (Lisa)] She isn't my wife!

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) gives it a quick look before shaking her head and handing it back

Thistle (Carissa) pockets it with a grin

[Indigo (Lisa)] (assuming door is open now?)

[Master] nope

[Master] just a disarmed trap

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

[Master] still locked

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but we hear him talking)

Ilero (TMO)] (speaking through the door, or invisibly in the room?)

[(Carissa)] Shi'Nynze: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

[Master] /shi thinks it is on the other side of the door

[Ilero]] (TMO) sniffs and shakes his head as he turns back to the lock.

Ilero (TMO)] pickpickpick

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods head, "Other side of the door."

Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] [Ilero]]: Thief ability - Open locks* check:(d100) [1d100=45] 45 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 45!!

[Master] CLICK

Ilero (TMO)] (not his best skill, btw)

Ilero (TMO)] (yes! modesty works again)

[Master] well-oiled and easily moved

[Ilero]] (TMO) steps aside to let the others go through first.

[Master] HAH

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let's get this over with

Branwyn (Lisa) walks in with Indigo

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) warily follows with Thistle

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hello Regor

[Master] the door opens into a well-appointed sitting room with three doors leading away from it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It's been quite a while

Skarphedin (Ryan) trails behind, watching in bemusement.

[Master] there is a nice couch, two tall wardrobes

[Ilero]] (TMO) brings up the rear.

[Master] a sideboard with a full place setting and bottle of wine with 8 goblets

Regor the Mad (Master) gestures at Thistle, Serve our guests

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do I need to make introductions or do you know everyone here?

[Ilero]] (TMO) moves to stand in a corner and lean against the wall.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] OH I do find it interesting to hear people tell me who they think they are

Thistle (Carissa) bites her lip, glances at Shi, reluctantly fills up cups to pass out

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Indigo the Admiral

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Branwyn the Brave

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Mysterious

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Ilero the impetuous

[Ilero]] (TMO) watches everyone through half-lidded eyes.

Regor the Mad (Master) smiles at Branwyn

[Regor the Mad (Master)] It is sad about your husband

[Regor the Mad (Master)] I only learned of it this morning

Branwyn (Lisa) closes her eyes for a moment

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes it is

Regor the Mad (Master) looks around the room

Regor the Mad (Master) holds out his hand for his drink

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is Skarphedin

Ilero (TMO)] (since it only happened yesterday evening, I'm not going to even *try* to figure out the logistics of that)

Thistle (Carissa) hands over a goblet

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And this is Shi'Nynze and Thistle who you have gotten to serve you apparently

[Regor the Mad (Master)] (two days actually, happened in the evening, a day of travel, then morning you tell Branwyn)

[Regor the Mad (Master)] So tell me Sad Elven girl

[Regor the Mad (Master)] who are you?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They can tell you what they wish to themselves. I shall not offer details without their permission

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] You seem to already have an idea who I am.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Who do you think you are?

[Ilero]] (TMO) takes his goblet from Thistle in his right hand but only sips at it while watching the room.

Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] [Ilero]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Someone who shares the similarity of finding it more interesting to hear others tell me who they think I am.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] You are afraid to go home to admit that your days of adventures and stories are over, you are afraid to admit that Kel was right and that you should have stayed home and keep safe from the outside world,

[Regor the Mad (Master)] You are afraid to go adventuring and risk that danger again

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Sorry, bedtime for the kiddies)

[Regor the Mad (Master)] you are standing on the branch as someone saws at it

[Regor the Mad (Master)] what will the sad elf girl do

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) slight smile, "We are someone different to everyone who meets us."

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] What does it matter what I do? I feel you will find out anyways.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Watch as her dwarven friend takes an axe to the person with the saw, probably...

Regor the Mad (Master) looking at the dwarf

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) gives Skarp a brief, true smile

[Regor the Mad (Master)] In search of finding a way to use your ax for once

[Regor the Mad (Master)] who is the last dwarf standing?

Skarphedin (Ryan) stares at Regor for a moment, mouth twisted in a grimace.

Ilero (TMO)] [Ilero]]: Reading/writing check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

Ilero (TMO)] (ignore that)

Ilero (TMO)] (was trying to type but focus was on the dice window)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I am Skarphedin, friend to these fine people.

Ilero (TMO)] "*crunch*" as Ilero takes another bite from his apple.

Regor the Mad (Master) smiles

[Regor the Mad (Master)] looks at Thistle

[Regor the Mad (Master)] and the reason we are all here today

Thistle (Carissa) clearly torn between being quiet and shooting a wide grin

[Thistle (Carissa)] (*still not quiet)

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Tell me gypsy girl

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Who are you

Ilero (TMO)] (who who!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] That's a very open-ended question. Um, can you be more specific?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Like...my life story? I bet you know it.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Do you now?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (If we see a Mr. Morden ask us 'What do you want', I am stabbing him repeatedly. Just to warn you)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Or who I am today versus tomorrow?

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Do you want to make that bet?

Ilero (TMO)] (me cheers Ryan)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Tall Indigo told me I was too young to bet...

Regor the Mad (Master) warm chuckle

[Indigo (Lisa)] I wouldn't bet anything in here

[Regor the Mad (Master)] so what do you need Gypsy Girl?

[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm trying to be a better thief.

Thistle (Carissa) actual grin

[Thistle (Carissa)] And Ilero didn't seem as keen to train me...

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Do you want to be a better thief? or a good thief?

[Regor the Mad (Master)] or a wise woman?

Ilero (TMO)] Hye t'ought t'is good time to work her on slipping t'ings into drinks wit'out being noticed.

[Ilero]] (TMO) smirks.

Ilero (TMO)] Anybody notice?

[Thistle (Carissa)] I can't be a good thief until I get better. And grandma is the one who probably wants me to be a wise woman.

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

Regor the Mad (Master) takes his goblet and drains it in one long gulp

[Regor the Mad (Master)] So what shall we do with a gypsy girl

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh Regor, we all know you are poison proof

Regor the Mad (Master) laughs with Branwyn

[Thistle (Carissa)] I wouldn't waste one of my good ones on him.

Thistle (Carissa) rolls eyes

[Regor the Mad (Master)] What do you need Branwyn?

[Regor the Mad (Master)] It has been too long that you here hear for a favor

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Information

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I need to know what is going on at Skull Church.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] The Quellcon brats are growing restless and want to take over lands

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jennivive thinks Charles Witherbane could be the necromancer who killed my husband

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Now that Lady Emerald is dead

[Regor the Mad (Master)] someone will take over the home estate

[Regor the Mad (Master)] and those who have other estates can choose to follow or

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Charley Witherbane the 4th is a very competent mage

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But I need to know what their plans are. Are they working with priests at the Church?

[Regor the Mad (Master)] he is no necromancer

[Regor the Mad (Master)] the priests always try to take over Skull Church

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So he is not creating the undead ...

[Regor the Mad (Master)] this is the 6th? 7th? time?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have no idea. That place is cursed

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Charley would enjoy controlling the undead but he would not create them

Skarphedin (Ryan) quietly. "Ought to burn it down and salt the fields."

[Ilero]] (TMO) tosses his apple core into the corner behind him.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So he must be working with a group of evil priests if he is not specialized in necromancy

[Regor the Mad (Master)] They do so admire you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The thing is that they are sending undead onto my lands

[Regor the Mad (Master)] a peace offering

[Regor the Mad (Master)] tribute

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hellhounds from one place and zombies from another!

[Regor the Mad (Master)] they do not make very good subjects but they are cheap to feed

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Why do people think I want these things!

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Hellhounds are not as easy to feed

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You can't possibly be serious that the undead are some sort of tribute

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Branwyn the Mysterious not Branwyn the Butterfly

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And according to my apprentice, Witherbane is not enamored of me at all

[Regor the Mad (Master)] I doubt he would be

[Regor the Mad (Master)] with Red Cloak protecting you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Red Cloak only protects Indigo

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Red Cloak would like me dead as much as this Witherbane does

[Regor the Mad (Master)] only after he gets his church

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And what does Red Cloak want with a church?

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Gypsy Girl

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Churches, priests, so many rules

[Regor the Mad (Master)] what would you do with a church?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Mages usually don't like such restrictions

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Thistle

Regor the Mad (Master) glances over at Ilero

Thistle (Carissa) shrugs

[Thistle (Carissa)] Clean it up? Have a party? Then move on?

[Ilero]] (TMO) looks back at Regor blankly.

Branwyn (Lisa) rolls her eyes

[Regor the Mad (Master)] I am so glad we had this little talk

[Thistle (Carissa)] Give it to someone who'd do good with it? Gypsies don't need it.

Regor the Mad (Master) smiles at Thistle

[Regor the Mad (Master)] so I will keep this one

[Thistle (Carissa)] Um, just for training, right? Because Shi would miss me.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Shi "You agree after this meeting?"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] She makes her own decisions.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] ...but I do expect her back.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Ilero?

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Do you promise her that she will come back?

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shakes head, "Use names or who knows what is being promised."

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Not got any skin in t'is game. Girl likes to make own decisions, and tends to do opposite of what ot'ers try and decide for her to do. Hye say no, she say yes."

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Gypsy Girl, is that good enough for you?

[Thistle (Carissa)] No. You have to promise that you'll let me go back and stay with Shi for as long as Shi will let me stay with her.

[Thistle (Carissa)] After my training, I'm Shi's again.

[Indigo (Lisa)] We haven't sent anyone to Regor for training that hasn't come back

[Thistle (Carissa)] Shi told me how elves like to...play with their words. Like he's doing.

[Thistle (Carissa)] She said if I met another elf I had to watch that. He's not an elf, but doesn't mean he can't talk like one.

Ilero (TMO)] But everyone who come here leave wit' strings on t'em. Body safe, but always risk of getting tugged around.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] When I am done with you gypsy girl you will go back to your sad elf

[Thistle (Carissa)] My sad elf will be happy again.

[Thistle (Carissa)] So I better go back to her, sad or happy.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Er, her being sad or happy. I'd prefer to be happy, myself.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Very well

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Branwyn I will train her for you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And your price?

[Regor the Mad (Master)] who are we to haggle over a gypsy girl like a bolt of cloth in the market

[Regor the Mad (Master)] I said I would train her for you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] People who know that every good deed comes at a cost

[Regor the Mad (Master)] No one mourns the wicked

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I promise I will mourn you Regor if you will do me the same

Regor the Mad (Master) breaks out in laughter, happy

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles in spite of herself

[Regor the Mad (Master)] You are always interesting Branwyn the Mysterious of Dragon Fen, the last coin of Roppenmere

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Last coin?

Branwyn (Lisa) shakes her head "I don't want to know"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Will Red Cloak get my message. That is of more interest

[Regor the Mad (Master)] What message do you want him to understand?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I gave Jennivive a message that I wanted to speak with him.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He will need to crawl out from under the rock he is hiding under though

[Regor the Mad (Master)] I am certain he will know you want to talk with him

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I thought Witherbsne was a necromancer. I guess I was mistaken and he will get pleasure from that.

Regor the Mad (Master) looks over at Skarp

[Regor the Mad (Master)] What do you seek next on your path of loss?

Skarphedin (Ryan) meets his eyes.

Skarphedin (Ryan) gives a careless shrug.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Resolution

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Dwarven Resolve does not often lead to completion

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Either I will learn why these things happened to my friends, and avenge them, or I will die in the attempt.

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs at Regor's comment. "A matter of opinion and philosophy."

[Regor the Mad (Master)] I do have time to think down here

[Regor the Mad (Master)] very well, Gypsy Girl I will see you in the morning

Thistle (Carissa) watches him for a second before giving him a nod

[Regor the Mad (Master)] tell the cook you particularly like fish

[Ilero]] (TMO) straightens up and steps forward.

Thistle (Carissa) nods again with slow understanding

[Ilero]] (TMO) pulls a blood-stained book out of a pouch. "Hin t'e interest of keeping one your puppets whole and useful... what you know about person trying to kill me?"

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Why do you think they are trying to kill you?

[Ilero]] (TMO) adds the list of crossed off names to it and shows it to Regor. "Look like hit list to me. T'ree already marked off. Seosur, Ilaen, Tyairo. My name at t'e bottom. Hye want to know who to watch for so hye can kill t'em 'fore t'ey kill me."

[Regor the Mad (Master)] You found this, it was not sent to you

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods curtly.

Ilero (TMO)] In t'e Church.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] If you had not found it would you have gone home to try and avenge them?

[Ilero]] (TMO) frowns, looking puzzled. "Hif hye had not found it, hye not know anybody need avenging at all."

[Regor the Mad (Master)] So you would stay away

[Regor the Mad (Master)] live your life in your lighthouse

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Seems to me that if I wanted to lure you to a place I would ensure that Shurakul was at that spot needing to be rescued

[Ilero]] (TMO) growls. "Look... simple question. Does you know anyt'ing of anyone who out to kill me? If no, hye accept No as answer. You know lots, but not everyt'ing."

[Regor the Mad (Master)] no one has tried to kill one of my students in a very long time

[Regor the Mad (Master)] and gotten away with it

[Regor the Mad (Master)] I train them well

Ilero (TMO)] Right, so answer is no.

[Ilero]] (TMO) takes back the book and list and stashes them back away and moves back to his corner.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks around "So we are done for today?"

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Master Indigo

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Apparently not

[Regor the Mad (Master)] when will you owe me a favor

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummm ... never?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't need your kind of information

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't need training

Skarphedin (Ryan) chuckles in surprise.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't like secrets

Regor the Mad (Master) warm chuckle

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you want me to owe you a favor?

[Regor the Mad (Master)] I think if I ever owe you a favor it will come at a very high cost Master Indigo

[Regor the Mad (Master)] I do hope your trip is successful Branwyn

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Remember the fish Gypsy Girl

Thistle (Carissa) nods again with more certainty

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you Regor. You have been very helpful.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Oh, that is too bad, I was only trying to be somewhat helpful today

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh sometimes you can't help yourself

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Ilero can tell you what else to bring Gypsy Girl

[Regor the Mad (Master)] he remembers his early days

Ilero (TMO)] (uhhh... I'm glad Ilero remembers. ;) )

Thistle (Carissa) looks over at Ilero with expectation

[Ilero]] (TMO) takes another drink from his wine.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] Good Afternoon

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I trust you will lock up.

[Regor the Mad (Master)] my guards should be here shortly

Branwyn (Lisa) nods and leaves

Indigo (Lisa) follows

[Master] and the door shuts heavily behind you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let's go upstairs

[Master] and now Carissa and Ryan have met Regor

Ilero (TMO)] as he leaves, Ilero looks back in. "Hif you should hear anyt'ing about someone hunting Sauschas, and hif you want to keep t'e honor of you students and training good, please send message. Oh... and T'istle has your door dart."

[Ilero]] (TMO) closes the door behind him.

Regor the Mad (Master) laughs

Thistle (Carissa) tucks the dart closer, shooting Ilero a look for reminding Regor

[Regor the Mad (Master)] gypsy girls

Branwyn (Lisa) heads back to the Main Hall

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Shi, Skarp and Thistle

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I think I am going to call it a night here. Good session, everyone. Have a good weekend)

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

Ilero (TMO)] You gots your tools wit' you, girl?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Goodnight Ryan!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Night Ryan!)

Ilero (TMO)] (night!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yep! Right here.

Ilero (TMO)] (that was to Thistle, btw)

Ryan has left the game on Fri Jul 19 23:12:39 EDT 2019

Thistle (Carissa) shows him her little bag of tools

[Ilero]] (TMO) nods and hands her a slim throwing knife that appears in his hand. "You should be safe enough, but here is extra just in case."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He has information as you can see and now he knows you. He is unpleasant, but can be useful if you ever need him

Thistle (Carissa) carefully takes it before giving him a smile

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thank you!

Ilero (TMO)] Practice hiding it, see how long it takes him to find it each day.

Thistle (Carissa) nods vigorously, clearly trying to find where to hide it first

[Thistle (Carissa)] As long as he lets me go back to Shi. She clearly still needs me.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) shakes her head with a small smile

Ilero (TMO)] As far as hye know, he not into little girls, and he not go back on word t'at hye hear. But t'ere always first time, and hif he had broke word in past, he probably make damn sure no one left to talk about it.

Thistle (Carissa) thinks for a second, "Is he really poison proof?"

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Never tried."

[Master] chuckles Thistle is older than Shur was when Ilero started living with her

Ilero (TMO)] (is she? I guess I was thinking of her as 10 when we met her, so 13 now)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Huh, did Shur ever have a chance to have that talk with her? thinking so)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Thistle is 15 now)

[Master] Shur was 16? I think when they first met her

Ilero (TMO)] (yeah, well Ilero is in his mid-30's now. oooooold)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (sooo ollllddd)

Thistle (Carissa) hesitates before pulling Ilero a little ways to the side, whispering, "Can you do me a favor?"

[Thistle (Carissa)] Another one?

[Ilero]] (TMO) looks back at her.

Thistle (Carissa) bites lip, hesitating, glancing at Branwyn before saying, "I'd ask Branwyn but she's got enough to deal with..."

[Thistle (Carissa)] "Can you please make sure Shi doesn't run away? I can't do that if I'm going to be busy."

[Thistle (Carissa)] And she'll only believe some of my visions. Sometimes she knows I make them up...

[Ilero]] (TMO) glances up the stairs after the others. "She not leave yet, she probly not gonna to. Not sure hye can do not'ing about it, but... eh...," he shrugs, "... sure, hye can watch her. Probly couldn't stop her if she set her mind, but mebbe can distract her if in right place at right time."

Thistle (Carissa) nods quickly, "Just keep distracting her. That's worked so far!"

[Thistle (Carissa)] Otherwise... well, if she DID leave, I'll hafta follow her, so you'd have to know where she goes. I don't think she will after talking to Ancien but...I'm still worried, you know?

[Ilero]] (TMO) pops one of his knuckles. "You remember she elf, right? We just blips to t'em. Blink in time and gone. Hye t'ink she in no hurry. Elves t'ink in years, not days."

Thistle (Carissa) nods slowly, "I know..."

[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm just a blip...but maybe she won't hurry home...

[Thistle (Carissa)] But keep an eye on her anyways. I'll even give you Regor's dart in return.

[Ilero]] (TMO) holds his hand out. "'Kay"

Ilero (TMO)] (wow, I AM out of practice

Ilero (TMO)] Hokay

Ilero (TMO)] (hokay hasn't come up in conversation in a long time)

Thistle (Carissa) surprises him with a hug then hands him the dart

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (It's ok he's still sem-drunk. Maybe he talks normally when he drinks)

Ilero (TMO)] (lol)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (English, in other words)

[Ilero]] (TMO) holds the hug a bit too long. "Tch. Gots to be careful who you lets get wit'in reach, little girl."

Thistle (Carissa) grins, "Maybe, but I trust you. And Shi and Branwyn do."

Ilero (TMO)] (I was going to try and pick a pocket, but he's miserable at it.)

[Thistle (Carissa)] And who says the other person shouldn't be careful about me?

[Thistle (Carissa) (to GM only)] Thistle: Pick Pockets check:(d100) [1d100=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 75!!

[Ilero]] (TMO) frowns. "More fools t'ey." He turns to walk up the stairs.

[Master] and Ilero turns back around suddenly seeing Thistle with his coin pouch in her hands

Thistle (Carissa) and a bigger grin

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Gypsys less so miserable about it ;) )

Ilero (TMO)] Attack: Knife, hurled:: is now ARMED.

[Ilero]] (TMO) holds up his knife, point toward her. "Some people not take t'at lightly, you know."

[Thistle (Carissa)] That's why I rarely keep it

Thistle (Carissa) toss his coin bag back

[Ilero]] (TMO) holds out his hand toward her.

Ilero (TMO)] Attack: Knife, hurled:: is NO LONGER ARMED.

Thistle (Carissa) and runs up the stairs past him back to the group

Thistle (Carissa) calls back, "But you can still keep the dart!"

Ilero (TMO)] (fortunately Aelan is not excessively violent, only slightly so)

[Master] Lisa any last things to do ?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (I mean both thieves were thinking the same thing. Only one was good at it ;) )

Ilero (TMO)] ( :D )

[Lisa] don't think so

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero only has a 15% chance)

[Master] looks like we are at a good spot to pause

[Master] no game next week is planned

[Lisa] don't think we need to do a whole roleplay of catching up with the Mosskins

[Master] but if I am free I will post on the site

[Lisa] next session head out with the Queen?

[Master] sounds good

[Lisa] but seriously - sending zombies in her direction as tribute??

[Master] it is a theory

[Lisa] LOL

[Carissa] Only one way to find out?

TMO untangles a couple of Regor's strings that have gotten tangled above him.

[Carissa] Trips, falls, gets more tangled?

[TMO] (probably)

[Lisa] don't you miss him?

[Lisa] he is fun

[TMO] he annoys the HELL out of Ilero. And Aelan is a bit blunter

[Lisa] he annoys everyone

[Lisa] doesn't make him not fun

[TMO] :D

[Carissa] lol

[Master] I liked Branwyn and Ilero standing on the stairs letting the rest of them take it on the ankles

[TMO] Live and Learn

[TMO] Bruises make good lessons

[Lisa] I was hoping he'd knew we were coming and wouldn’t be so trappish

[Carissa] Or maybe he made it more so for a reason

[Lisa] Think that tray hit Devon last time

[TMO] https://imgur.com/gallery/qDzWe

[Master] every time you come down I get someone with it

[Master] then the time there was no thief

[Master] so Branwyn did Knock on the door to unlock it

[Master] and undid all sorts of other locks and drawers in his quarters also

[Master] have a great weekend everyone

[Carissa] Night all!

[Master] go see if they make the landing

[TMO] same to you

[Master] one small step

[Lisa] Goodnight!!
