[Master] Hey there

[SpringyDew] hi!

[SpringyDew] I’ve got a cat all up in my face, might lag a bit. I’ve been gone all day so she needs the loves

[Master] How was the week?

[Master] smiles

[Master] that is nice

[SpringyDew] she was just now sitting on the 0 key

[SpringyDew] week full of studying forvmware exam, pretty much

[SpringyDew] today was tattoo day, always a treat

[SpringyDew] how's your week?

[Master] was good

[Master] had an article published

[Master] posted that on Facebook

[SpringyDew] woo hoo!

[Master] and the better one is we are one of the 7 finalists for the AWS City on the Cloud challenge

[Master] 40,000 dollars for me if we win

[SpringyDew] wowie!

[Master] winners announced early December

[SpringyDew] your programs are pretty stinking awesome

[SpringyDew] hard to imagine other places doing as well

[Master] My proposal is up against the NYC IT department, the LA IT department,

[Master] it is pretty wild

[SpringyDew] sounds exciting though

[Master] I have a proposal to do an AI project with the public

[SpringyDew] hi Ryan!

[Ryan] Hello

[SpringyDew] ooo what would the AI be doing? or the public doing with the AI?

[Master] it is called DeepRacer

[Master] using deep learning to program automous race cars

[Master] https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/publicsector/announcing-the-2019-city-on-a-cloud-innovation-challenge-finalists/

[SpringyDew] sounds kind of scary

[SpringyDew] thanks!

[JohnA] hello all

[Master] and hello Ryan, noticing I did not acknowledge you

[Ryan] Hello!]

[Ryan] Hi John

[SpringyDew] BOB most of these competitors sound boring as hell

[SpringyDew] sure, important and serious, but not fun

[Master] nods

[Master] I know why does Lisa need better earthquake detection?

[SpringyDew] hi Carissa

[Carissa] Hi all!

[SpringyDew] ok I looked at all the proposals, and frankly, Broward's is the ONLY fun one

[Master] thank you

[SpringyDew] about half the others are interesting but serious

[SpringyDew] and the other half look simply useful

[JohnA] hello Carissa

[Ryan] Hello!

[Lisa] I'm on a laptop so if I'm slow finding things pls be patient :)

[Lisa] Hi Carissa

Lisa is receiving the map Witches Lair...

Lisa has received the map Witches Lair.

Ryan is receiving the map Witches Lair...

Ryan has received the map Witches Lair.

[Master] John Acolyte Gerard is on the map for you to play

JohnA is receiving the map Witches Lair...

JohnA has received the map Witches Lair.

[Master] We are going to use this map tonight

[Master] instead of jumping from map to map until you get to the place you want to be

[Master] two things to discuss of importance, and sorry John that Miranda is not one right now

[Master] first is while Ryan is here talking to the dwarves to get what you want,

[Master] and two is talking OOC and IC about what you actually are trying to do based on the prophecies ( :) ) that you have

[Master] you might want to do some of the second, then the first then the second again

[Carissa] Okay had to check, but if you were serious about maybe doing reincarnate for Miranda, and can find Shi another Solonor priest, she could possible cast it. Just tossing that out there for you.

[SpringyDew] Ryan is it still the case that you can't be online long tonight? because we might better plan around that

[Carissa] Not now, but later.

[Lisa] yes

[Master] yes to Carissa but yes later as in January

[Master] so John has a character for now

[Ryan] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lisa] I think it's hard to plan until we see what we are walking into

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Yes, I should be able to be on for the next hour and ah alf, or so)

[Carissa] Just so he knows there might be an easier way than, say possibly giving up your magic for a shell ;)

[Master] and you could perhaps convince a dwarf to join your group if John really wants to play one during the rest of this adventure

[Lisa] I was thinking Branwyn could teleport Miranda back when we deliver the shell

[Master] So a half hour of Ryan time is on the clock

[Master] GO

[Carissa] One question before GO: can a potion of healing be split or is it a single person use item?

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] single use on one person

Branwyn (Lisa) walks through the tunnel of ogre guards

[Carissa] Figure it's like taking a shot... which you can kind of share but not easily... okay.

Carissa is receiving the map Witches Lair...

Carissa has received the map Witches Lair.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh considering how bad people are hurt one person should probably down it

[Carissa] (Shur is at 27, Skarp is at 30, Ilero at 22, Tiberius at 17)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (bob can correct - but I think it's a dice roll on how much you get back and how strong the potion is)

[Carissa] (I'm voting one of them (maybe not Ilero as he's not a fighter)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and a lollygagger)

[Master] grins

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so love that word and the fact I can use it)

[Carissa] lol

[Carissa] Could a healing prof be useful here or too little too late?

[SpringyDew] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] too late

[Carissa] Even if it just gets those few a few more

[Master] one round

[SpringyDew] I am back at the keyboard.

[Carissa] All right. Then either Skarp downs the potion or we wait for a few others and follow Branwyn

[Master] everyone is in the tunnels except the lollygagger

[Master] he stayed back because he wanted an extra prophecy

[JohnA] light?

[Master] you are all into the tunnels and Indigo has a clasp

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (indigo has his belt buckle)

[Master (to Ryan only)] Skarp can see almost immediately that there are dwarf signs on the walls, saying to not go the way you are coming from

[JohnA] k

Skarphedin (Ryan) groans in frustration.

[SpringyDew] so the other end of this tunnel, I forgot if it's supposed to be the dwarven settlement or the enemy elf settlement

[Master] you were told this is the way to Glamis the dark elf village

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Dwarf symbols are carved into the walls. We were not meant to be in the area we came from. It is a warning.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I think those giants made that clear...

[Indigo (Lisa)] Dwarves or everybody?

[JohnA] exactly

[Master (to Ryan only)] dwarves

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] My kin. Dwarves.

[Master (to Ryan only)] written in dwarven runes that for the most part only dwarves understand, and why protect drow anyway?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can see that. Those witches were scary!

[Indigo (Lisa)] What's a newt anyway?

[SpringyDew] (more recent than an oldt)

[Master] younger than an oldt

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] The only other beings that would usually be down here are the drow, and we wouldn't care to warn them.

[SpringyDew] (ha!)

[Master] grins at Spring

[Indigo (Lisa)] (nice!)

[Master] how far down the tunnels are you going to go?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] They're similar to lizards, but prefer water.

TMO has joined the game on Fri Nov 22 19:18:33 EST 2019

TMO is receiving the map Base Map...

TMO has received the map Base Map.

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (hi TMO!)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Hello)

[JohnA (to Master only)] the character sheet says Bracer of defense but no details?

[JohnA] hello TMO

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hi TMO!)

Indigo (Lisa) looks at Shi "hmmm"

[TMO] (heya)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hi TMO!)

TMO is receiving the map Witches Lair...

TMO has received the map Witches Lair.

[Master (to JohnA only)] check the AC but if nothing else is written then they are plus one

[Master] and also to the how far down the tunnels you are going, how long do you wait for Ilero ?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Going at least until we have an option to go elsewhere I guess?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (A minute? :P)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL FAILED against 12!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you know where these go?

[Master] endless tunnels underground

[Indigo (Lisa)] (are we past the ogre guards?)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] I can wait and escort the Prince

[Master] yes to Lisa

[Indigo (Lisa)] (turns or straight line?)

[Master] winding straight line no turns or openings yet

Ilero (TMO)] (I don't think Ilero will be too far behind you all)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We can wait a few minutes for him. Rather him not get lost again...

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] or wait until there is a choice of passages

Ilero (TMO)] (it was spur of the moment, so once he's done he'd hurry to catch up)

[Indigo (Lisa)] If we don't see his light in a couple minutes you can go back for him but his light should be as bright as this one here

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero lost his light in the fog giant encounter)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo doesn't know that and Lisa didn't remember)

Ilero (TMO)] (good point)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (oh!)

Ilero (TMO)] (come to think of it, probably nobody knows it except Ilero. Hasn't exactly been a priority)

[Master] So moving along the tunnels

[Indigo (Lisa)] (he should see Indigo's though since it's a 60 ft radius)

Ilero (TMO)] (his magical dagger probably glows)

[Master (to Ryan only)] Skarp finds a way marker showing this is the end of the safe tunnels, meaning you are about to enter the safe area

Skarphedin (Ryan) traces symbols on the walls.

[Master] yes magic items glow 5 foot radius and that can be seen from quite a away away if everything is dark but you are in the middle of a glowing 60 foot diameter ball of sunshine

[Master] so you cannot see beyond that

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] We are coming to the safe area. With luck, my kin should be close by.

[Master] but Ilero could see your glow up ahead at some point

Ilero (TMO)] (makes sense to me - onward!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I hope. This light does give us away for an easy target...

[Master (to Ryan only)] Skarp would never have a light underground

[Master (to Ryan only)] silly upworlders

MarioHome has joined the game on Fri Nov 22 19:26:31 EST 2019

MarioHome is receiving the map Base Map...

MarioHome has received the map Base Map.

[Master (to Ryan only)] or whatever you called them back when

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hi Mario!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hi Mario!)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] You act as though most creatures down here would need a light.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Hello!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Exactly.

[MarioHome] Hello hello

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (hi Mario!)

Ilero (TMO)] (hi)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (hello Mario)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] well the human ones certainly would

[Indigo (Lisa)] Are the walls saying nicer things now?

Skarphedin (Ryan) pantomimes a spider crawling. "Spiders wouldn't need a light to spot you and gobble you up."

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Yes, we are entering the safe area.

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's good. No spiders in a safe area or it wouldn't be a safe area

[Master] TO short cut this a bit for Ryan's time crunch after about a mile underground you find several T junctions

[Master] Time of Day: 10:42 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 348 SKR.

Ilero (TMO)] (left, right, left, left, double-back, right, right, left)

[Master (to Ryan only)] you spot the markings for the junction that goes towards Umbria the dwarven village

[Master (to Ryan only)] Northambria

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] There may be normal spiders. They can be good, but hopefully none of the... other spiders.

[MarioHome] (I know that secret code)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] There is a village ahead... Northambria.

[MarioHome] (if done correctly, we should all be invincible)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (nice)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (ha)

[Master (to Ryan only)] Skarp finds the last junction, to the left are the dwarves, to the north are the drow

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I thought it was Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A)

Skarphedin (Ryan) grins faintly. "Left... assuming you still would like to visit my kin."

Ilero (TMO)] (something like that, although I actually wasn't quoting it, I should have been)

Skarphedin (Ryan) raises eyebrow. "If you want to wet your blades in Drowblood, though, we should head north."

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] The shell is likely that way

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Up down up down left right left right A B Select Start. Good old Contra)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] True, but would your kin have some way to help heal?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Wouldn't have survived near the drow for very long without healers.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) glances at the group, "It might not be bad to stop and see before we encounter... worse."

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] they might also have useful local information

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Are they the ones we're to find help for the battle, too?

Ilero (TMO)] We sposed visit dwarves, yes?

[Master] that would startle most of you

Acolyte Gerard (JohnA) nods

[Indigo (Lisa)] How far away are they?

[Master] as Ilero was not there ten minutes ago

[Indigo (Lisa)] (dwarves in 2 directions?)

Acolyte Gerard (JohnA) looks back

Ilero (TMO)] (oh, sorry. assumed he'd caught up during the 'shortcut' we did to save time)

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs. "Shouldn't be too far. If we take the left intersection, we should run into sentries before too long."

[Master] was going along with the keeping everything the same

[Master] Skarp has the floor currently

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] it sounds sensible to go

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) coughs, "Well now that Ilero is here. That way?"

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) mutters, "Could have been a little louder walking."

[Ilero]] (TMO) puts his helmet back on.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I, for one, wouldn't mind bleeding out against the Drow, but if you Upworlders insist on surviving to another day...

Shurkural (TMO)] How silly of us, right?

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Acolyte Gerard modified: Magic Item Summary - DELETED: Bracers of Defense, null, null. Armor - Magic Bonus:: CHANGED: 1 (4). AC FINAL:: CHANGED: 3 (4).

MarioHome is receiving the map Witches Lair...

MarioHome has received the map Witches Lair.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Quite...

Shurkural (TMO)] How is it you all have survived this long again?

[Shurkural]] (TMO) smiles at Skarp

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Stubbornness, I suppose...

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] right, then, lead on!

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] Stubbornly if you must

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] to the dwarves!

[Master] so heading down that passageway

[Master] Skarp sees much more frequent dwarven signs

[Master] and then after another three quarters of a mile there is another branch to the right

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (ads for beard and mustache wax)

[Master] and shortly down that tunnel

[Master] LOL

[Master] there is a large iron door

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (We only use natural beard and mustache wax. We have no need for supplements)

[Master] blocking the pathway

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (...so ear wax?)

Shurkural (TMO)] (beetle carapace wax)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (ew)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (If that is your preference. I prefer nose.... wax)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (also ew)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (furthermores ew)

[Master] and for ease of play we are saying that Dray is trailing along behind Tiberius who is carrying Miranda

Shurkural (TMO)] (thx)

[Master] and Carissa can tell us how long it takes before her body starts to stink and attract notice by various creatures

[Master] and the large iron door is in front of you

[Master] with a dwarven sized door in the middle

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Kenna can wrap her a little?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (The way I read that, I thought at first that BOB was saying that Carissa could tell us how long before HER body started stinking... I was, like, uh... okay)

[Master] Carissa is in the field a lot

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (Kenna wouldn't have enough bandages for a whole body. might need to find something for a shroud. or give up some spare clothes)

Shurkural (TMO)] (it'll take more than tonight, I believe, except for the bladder and bowel voiding that happened when she got squashed)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Nice save. Could have just said I smell)

Shurkural (TMO)] (erm.. actually, I forgot she got squashed. My knowledge (indirect only) is for whole bodies)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Think of it this way: how long can you leave meat on the counter?)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (I imagine only her head based in)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (So... she should be good to eat for 5 more days, Carissa?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (BUT we're also underground where it's cooler so that'll slow things)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (LOL)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Does no one have Gentle Repose or some equivalent?)

Shurkural (TMO)] (I can check Ilero's spell books. :P)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (not Kenna)

[MarioHome] I am back at the keyboard.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (checking Mara)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Skarp thought that that was just a Upworlder racial ability. You know, being in the hot sun all your lives, how do you avoid stinking up the place)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (do you not like Miranda's pose, I can change that?)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (but do it gently)

Shurkural (TMO)] (we take baths, you hairy stinky dwarf)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (no translation for that four letter word)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And not your all natural baths. Don't want to guess what you dwarves use for bath water)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (We are kind of like cats. Only natural water for us)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (I don’t see Gentle Repose in the Cleric Spell Compendium at all)

Shurkural (TMO)] (brb - I suspect I'm going to have to help unload car)

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (is it called something else?)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (like Rotstop or something?)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (cuz I don’t see that either)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (I used Deep Freeze before, but it is a mage spell, we do not have)

[Master] dwarves bathe in beer is the comment I have from others

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (...could you do the don't spoil food or water spell? I mean technically...)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (and waste a spell?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Uh... anyone have a tub of salt and ice then?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Maybe the village can help)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (will Dispel Fatigue wake her up?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (or we could ask the dwarves once we get to them since we are at their doorstep)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (I thought I saw that in the witches room)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Ninja'd by Carissa)

[Master] this is true you are at a large iron door

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (:D)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Well, I suppose we should say hello.

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] what is the protocol Skarphedin?

Skarphedin (Ryan) raps against the door with his hand.

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] Is there a secret knock?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Knock.

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] Ah

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I thought we already covered secret codes)

[Dwarf (Master)] Who are you?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I am Skarphedin, warrior and kin.

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYb_nqU_43w )

[Dwarf (Master)] Who are you (said in common)

Skarphedin (Ryan) frowns.

Skarphedin (Ryan) looks around at his companions. "I am Skarphedin, dwarf warrior and traveler."

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (In Common as well)

[Dwarf (Master)] You fail, what dwarf would want to associate with surface folk?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] One whose kin were slain by dark creatures, and who was given succor by Upsiders.

[Dwarf (Master)] You are not from here, your accent seems to be from the deeper realms

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I have traveled far, but have come to bring aid in the coming battles.

Skarphedin (Ryan) Skarphedin translates briefly as he speaks.

[Dwarf (Master)] Siward and his son are on the battlefield to help the wood folk in their battle

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] The Upsiders and I will provide what aid we can, but we have suffered casualties, and would like to request the aid of your healers.

[Dwarf (Master)] why should we let them in?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I give my oath before the gods that we are here only to help, and will stand the consequences should any of my party bring harm to your village.

[Dwarf (Master)] The dark elves are not holding to their bargain,

[Dwarf (Master)] it has only been 5 decades

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] They shall be called to account for their oath breaking.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] And we shall aid in that.

[Dwarf (Master)] we must defend our homes in case they come this way after they go after the wood folk

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] We will not stop that. All we ask is for some information to aid us in the coming conflicts, and perhaps some healing or supplies.

[Dwarf (Master)] we are a poor village, but we will let you in

[Master] the door in the middle of the iron wall opens up

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I thank you. I will not forget this kindness.

Skarphedin (Ryan) to the group. "I have sworn to your good behavior. If any of you break this oath, my life is forfeit."

[Dwarf (Master)] You have powerful friends

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods at Skarp

[Dwarf (Master)] An honorable dwarf has pledged his word for you

[Dwarf (Master)] I will shave his beard if you trespass

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] It is the least I could do to repay my debt to them.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Well, yeah, I would lose my beard, but that doesn't really have the same cultural implications to Upsiders)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] A lost beard? Thistle would hate that.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you. We appreciate your kind assistance and allowing us entrance.

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (dwarven beards are myths)

[Dwarf (Master)] https://www.marketplace.org/2019/11/22/climate-change-creating-better-conditions-english-winery/

[Dwarf (Master)] story by Stephen Beard

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (You are right. It isn't really hair, but a sort of keratin, like your fingers and toes. We call them 'chinnails'.)

[Dwarf (Master)] (just happen to be listening to this when that happened)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Eww)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (That mental picture was not pretty)

[Master] Ryan how much longer?

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (I heard that about the wines)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Maybe another twenty minutes before I would definitely have to go)

[Dwarf (Master)] So what does your group need?

[Dwarf (Master)] We will not inter your dead here

[Dwarf (Master)] We can help you compact the body

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] That would be helpful so we can bring her back to her home.

[Dwarf (Master)] so you can fit it into a smaller urn

[Dwarf (Master)] the vice will work on that

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That will not be necessary.

Branwyn (Lisa) shakes her head

[Dwarf (Master)] You will not burn it ? (said in a shocked voice)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But perhaps a wrap?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Oh...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We must bring her body back to her loved ones for the ... ceremony

Skarphedin (Ryan) watches in interest.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It would not make them happy to find we have done this without them

Dwarf (Master) snorts

[Dwarf (Master)] the ceremony is for her spirit not her body

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (room scroll? are we in a room?)

[Dwarf (Master)] (yes you are)

Branwyn (Lisa) nods slowly

[Dwarf (Master)] Where are you heading?

Indigo (Lisa) whispers "Maybe if we could get some cloth we could put Miranda in the scroll like we did with Branadarus"

[Indigo (Lisa)] (back to Skarp)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Whatever is preferable... I never thought about it. I figured burning was fine...

Skarphedin (Ryan) nods minutely. "My friends would request some cloth. They would use it in order to help preserve the body.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] It is an... Upsider thing...

[Dwarf (Master)] We can supply some cloth

[Dwarf (Master)] what shall they give us?

[Dwarf (Master)] (speaking in common but ignoring the group for the most part except for Skarp)

Indigo (Lisa) digs around in his pack "Ummm ... how about this? It's worth much more than the cloth."

Indigo (Lisa) hands over a black and gray hematite gem

Dwarf (Master) take the gem from Indigo and examines it

Dwarf (Master) hmmmmm

[Indigo (Lisa)] It could help the village a lot

[Dwarf (Master)] This is a worthy offering

Dwarf (Master) looks at Indigo

[Dwarf (Master)] You understand

[Dwarf (Master)] We shall take care of your dead

[Dwarf (Master)] While you are on the battle field

[Indigo (Lisa)] I understand. Thank you!

[Indigo (Lisa)] But you won't burn her?

[Dwarf (Master)] We shall do to her what you wish

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you

Branwyn (Lisa) whispers to Skarp, "Can you ask if they have seen Macduff and his family? He was coming to the dwarves I believe"

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I apologize for my rudeness. As I said, I am Skarphedin. Could I have your name?

[Dwarf (Master)] I am Thorwarn

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Well met, Master Thorwarn.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I apologize for my improper brusqueness, but, as we know, time is of the essence. Have there been any other Upsider travelers? We were told that a man named Macduff and his family planned to come here.

[Thorwarn (Master)] Our Chief Siward and his son are at the battlefield with him

Shurkural (TMO)] (and his crime dog)

[Thorwarn (Master)] (he said similar earlier)

Skarphedin (Ryan) nods in understanding.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Beyond death rites for our friend, we would request healing for our wounded. Would that be possible?

[Thorwarn (Master)] We can help a small portion with that

[Mara (MarioHome)] (ha! take a bite out of crime)

[Thorwarn (Master)] we must be on guard for the dark elves attempting to breach our walls

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I understand. You have our gratitude.

Shurkural (TMO)] (we're having Salisbury Steak for dinner. JTom said the chicken tasted good.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (grin)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (love Salisbury steak)

Shurkural (TMO)] (It's not my favorite. I think it's the cut of meat - it's very dense_

[Master] while you are in the village they offer up three cure light wounds

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Woo!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Chicken Fried Steak...? No?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (How are we distributing? Drayven needs at least one)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so 3 on one person and potion on another person and then only one wounded still)

[Master] Dray cannot take any healing until tomorrow

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Dray can't be healed until next day)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shur, Tiberius, and Skarp are my votes)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Sorry Ilero, unless you plan to scout)

[Master] actually to be clear that he needs 8 hours of sleep which cannot happen until tomorrow night

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (do we bring one person full up though?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (So... are we leaving him here?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (instead to just dabbing on 3 people?)

Shurkural (TMO)] (fighters are indubitably higher priority when planning to walk onto a battlefield)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no he walks behind)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Cure Light will be a dice roll, yes? So dunno)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (Ty is always here)

[Master] yes

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (He Who Walks Behind. I like it)

Shurkural (TMO)] (you know the reference, I'm assuming?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (d8 so three times, so may or may not bring someone to full)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so 2 on one person we ask how they feel and go from there)

[Master] Thank you Ryan for staying

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Or do it three times between two then one takes potion)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so glad you could come in)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Agreed!)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (what they said!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Skarp got his moment and keeps his beard!)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (NP, it was fun. Thanks for putting up with me for as long as you did.)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Have a good weekend everyone)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yoo yoo)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (*...you too)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (And good luck! If Skarp's beard is shaved when I come back, I will understand.)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (enjoy)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Goodnight!)

Ryan has left the game on Fri Nov 22 20:32:48 EST 2019

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (3 d8 on Shur?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (won't bring her to full even with 3 8s)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Actually... I say we should give at least one d8 to Skarp. Kind of seems bad to have the dwarf who got us healing not get healing)

[Master] OOC now

Shurkural (TMO)] (Ty is worse off)

[Master] debating healing

[Master] and what prophecies to listen to

[Master] and how to act on them

[Carissa] Ty can have potion and/or Shur can have potion and the other have healing.

[Lisa] won't bring him up - we have the potion

[Carissa] I'm getting lost in Prophecies.

[Carissa] And not the good kind that Lisa has.,

[Lisa] if Mara is not going to be fighting in a battle - is she? can she let loose a few healing spells too?)

[SpringyDew] nobody is going to be restored fully

[Lisa] (think Bosi and Mara are full right now)

[MarioHome] of course she can

[MarioHome] both are full up

[Lisa] so let's see what we can do without us casting and see where we are

[Lisa] was reading on healing potions and it depends on the rarity of the brew to how many hps it restores on dice roll

[Carissa] Yes use no spells first

[Lisa] so would just have to drink and let's see

[TMO] Is that the local Hippocratic Oath? First, use no spells?

[SpringyDew] I didn't understand the earlier answer about using healing proficiency

[Lisa] generally :)

[Lisa] if you grab someone quick and roll the nwp I think you get a 1d3 healing if you pass

[Master] healing proficiency needs to be used within a round

[Master] to help as Lisa says

[TMO] we're probably well past that timeline

[SpringyDew] within a round of the injury occurring, I see

TMO stabs Tiberius for 1hp so that someone can heal him for 3

[Master] hah

[SpringyDew] hahaha I like it

[TMO] repeat as needed

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] Can be used to increase overnight healing, too, but... gotta sleep for that.

[SpringyDew] I can see that helping for performing surgery :-)

[Lisa] so Tiberius is down the most so try potion on him to see how good it is? and Shur with the 3 cure lights?

[Lisa] save Skarp for next week since he will be one round behind til then?

[Lisa] then maybe on orison needed for Ilero or maybe Shur if dice rolls are bad?

[Carissa] Sure

[TMO] sounds reasonable to me

[Lisa] if no one objects back in IC ?

[TMO] nothing to it but to do it

[Carissa] What's our plan of action, though?

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (k)

[Carissa] After healing?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (head on down the tunnels to north ambria I guess)

[Master] you are there

[Master] Hello you’re there

[TMO] (do we dare ask if they have anything we can borrow to assist with?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thought we made a left to visit Skarp's village)

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riUA1khxs68

[MarioHome] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] No Skarp was your ambassador to this village

[Carissa] Is there a map I don't see?

[Mara (MarioHome)] (I’m sure the chief Dwarf can tell us where to go)

Branwyn (Lisa) walks over to Shur "Feel like getting dwarven hands laid upon you? Some healing wouldn't hurt"

[Shurkural]] (TMO) smiles tiredly. "First time for everything, right?"

[Master] No to Carissa using the same witches map

[Master] to make this easy

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "It'll make you feel better"

[Carissa] Okay

Shurkural (TMO)] You sound like this one boy from back home.

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

Shurkural (TMO)] Where do I need to go?

[Master] so the dwarven priestess casts on Shur (3 cure light?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you go up to the leader he should take care of you. The one Skarp was talking to?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes)

[Shurkural]] (TMO) nods and walks that way.

[Master] ((3d8+3)) [3d8=4,8,7] 22

Shurkural (TMO)] (nicely done)

[Master] [Shurkural]]'s Current Hit Points: adjusted to 49 (22) - Lightly Wounded

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (very nice!)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (yay!)

Branwyn (Lisa) then hands the potion to Tiberius "Here, drink this"

[Shurkural]] (TMO) sighs with relief. "Oh, thank you very much! So much better."

[Master] which potion?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You don't want to be sitting out on this battle

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the healing potion)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the warrior potions are combat timed - have to be handed out right before)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (do rangers count as warriors?)

[Master] yes

Shurkural (TMO)] (depends on if you ask a ranger or a fighter)

[Carissa] (To be fair, we have 903 other potions we just got, right? Do need to specify ;) )

[Master] and Tiberius drinks and heals for (3d8+3) [3d8=7,6,2] 18

Shurkural (TMO)] (hah! Mine was better!)

[Master] Lord Tiberius's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 35 (18) - Moderately Wounded

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] :-)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (much in comparison)

[Carissa] (Dwarven hands, man)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and Tiberius is 10 lvl or higher right?)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (genetics, lucky roll)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm, you look a little better.

Shurkural (TMO)] (his block says Level 8)

[Master] Yes he is over 10th level

[Master] I just left the 8 there for a long time

Shurkural (TMO)] (np)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (heroism potion really works well on 7-9th lvl - 2d10+3 compared to 10th lvl+ is 1d10 +4)

[Master] yes to someone other than Tiberius for that

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (if dice are nice)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (agree)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no Michael tonight?)

Shurkural (TMO)] (so Gerard or Shur for that then, with Dray and Skarp out of action)

[Master] have not heard anything from him

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Talwin is grayed out)

[Master] because he is away

[Master] I can make him active if you need

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Ilero is heavily wounded and Tiberius moderately, Shur is up to lightly - not bad compared to about 10 minutes ago)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no it's ok - just looking at hp - think he is light too)

Shurkural (TMO)] (Talwin is down 15hp)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so moderate sorry but may not be in) we keep going and see if we need to amp anyone up later?)

[Carissa] Sure

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (nods)

[Mara (MarioHome)] yep

Shurkural (TMO)] (sounds good. we need anything further from the dwarves?)

[Master] where are you planning on going to?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (back to the witches for a tea party)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we are in a tunnel - where else do we go but forward to the battle?)

[Carissa] I feel like, after said tea party, we need to find the shell before we join the battle. So...more into the dark?

Shurkural (TMO)] (I assumed battlefield was next, but I'm not certain how well I've followed everything)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (do we perform a sneak attack from behind enemy lines?)

[Carissa] Thinking the shell is in Glamis

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (agrees)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (along with the battle so we have to go there)

[Master] four options, Stay in Northumbria here, head to Glamis, back to the witches or have the dwarves show you another way out of the village to the surface and the battlefield

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yeah let's just kick back here and wait)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (haha)

Shurkural (TMO)] (iirc, we were talking about retrieving the shell and eliminating Mrs. Macbeth)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how is that an option?)

[Carissa] (Wait for it to all blow over!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] battle is at Glamis and shell is at Glamis correct?)

[Master] This is the OOC portion of the prophecies Ilero could share his new one etc.

[Master] Battlefield is up on the surface

[Master] Glamis is the drow village

[Master] you do not know where the shell is or where Lady Macbeth is

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (1/2 mile away)

[TMO] (Locate Object)

[Carissa] (" To Glamis you go, the shell you dream of, Macbeth you search for")

[TMO] (sounds like a pointing arrow to me)

[TMO] (just like the one that led us to the Fog Giants)

[Carissa] Dunno how to interpret that. Macbeth is in Glamis? He has the shell? We dream of a shell but we're also searching for Macbeth which may or may not be related?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (well then and there must be a tunnel upward around there to get to the surface)

[Master] that would be option 4 from above

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and we're supposed to protect Macduff's family)

[Carissa] Ughh

[Carissa] Virago also told us to search for the Lady.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yeah those witches got very chatty)

[Carissa] Is that something the dwarves might know?

[Carissa] Just trying to figure out if we need to go to battle first or Glamis first

[Carissa] Although it felt like earlier we were looking for Glamis

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I tried to ask and got the repeat of the chief and son went to battle)

[Master] you can guess if you go to Glamis you will have a battle going into a Drow village

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (some dwarf help - 2 people)

[TMO] Glamis is the Drow village?

[Master] yes

[TMO] what is the battlefield name?

[Master] battlefield

[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol

[TMO] sorry for needing the basic review

[Master] is ok

[Mara (MarioHome)] (but if the Drow have gone to the main battle, the village could be less defended)

[TMO] this has not been a kind week

[Carissa] True

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes very much so)

[Master] sorry for that TMO

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (think we should stay underground and see what's up - but entrance may be trapped)

[TMO] Glamis is underground?

[TMO] or surface like the other elves?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (otherwise you'd have dwarves running in and out)

[Carissa] Would think underground but one way to find out

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Glamis underground - fighting on the surface)

[Carissa] So explore tunnels a little longer is what we're agreeing to?

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (likes)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (only way we know to get to Glamis from here unless we ask for a way out and surface directions)

[TMO] the first elf village was not drow, right? they were regular elves. So we have what was a 3-way alliance, Elf, Dwarf, Drow. And Macbeth the Drow betrayed it.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes)

[TMO] MacDuff is Elf?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Drow)

[Carissa] Grey Elves, yes. Normal, surface elves.

[TMO] MacDuff is Drow?

[Master] no

[Branwyn (Lisa)] oops sorry thought you said Macbeth

[Carissa] Yeah hate the Mac and Mac...

[Carissa] Macbeth is Drow. MacDuff is Grey. Right?

[TMO] and the Scots hate you

[Master] yes

[Master] and HAH

[Mara (MarioHome)] brb

[MarioHome] I am away from the keyboard.

[TMO] ok, so MacDuff & Siward (dwarf) are on the battlefield.

[Master] yes

[Lisa] supposed to be

[Lisa] theoretically so should Macbeth

[SpringyDew] sounds legit to me

[TMO] to me, it breaks down to help battlefield, or sneak behind it and hope sabotaging Lady Macbeth will help the battlefield

[Lisa] and if you were a powerful mage trying to save your husband's village are you upstairs or downstairs

[TMO] assuming she's not at the battle too

[Carissa] Yes

[Lisa] or is lady Macbeth really wracked with guilt over her evilness and hanging around downstairs?

[TMO] from what I'm writing here, it sounds like making sure the battle is not lost is more important

[Carissa] Weren't undead protecting Glamis?

[TMO] if Drow are defeated we have better chance of getting shell from them

[Lisa] ehhh that's Macduff’s deal

[Lisa] :)

[Carissa] I was leaning more towards Glamis thinking it was sabotage, but you're right that it's a hope

[Carissa] I thought half the reason we went to the witches was figuring out how to win the battle

[Lisa] definitely if we save the grey elves we can ask for the shell

[Carissa] And them sending us underground was more so

[Lisa] 2 ways of going

[TMO] How are we set for battlefield-affecting magic spells?

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (let me check)

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (nada)

[Lisa] (oh I gots some glitter, some chaos, some fireball some monsters)

[Lisa] (we have the potions and scrolls)

[Carissa] If we got a diamond we want to waste or some way to create a rainbow, I got an awesome spell. Otherwise I still have some slightly less awesome spells.

[Lisa] fireball not so good to send into melee combat though

[Lisa] lots of collateral damage

[Lisa] same with chaos

[TMO] ok, my suggestion then is battlefield, with fighters flanking our spellcasters and seeing if we can influence it in our favor. And if Lady Macbeth shows up riding a giant shell we snipe her.

[Carissa] Yeah and if someone is making undead... don't give them ammo

[Lisa] and glitter for that matter

[Carissa] So we ask the dwarves how to best get up?

[TMO] fireball is what you aim at the generals behind the lines

[Lisa] hope the icons are color coded

[Lisa] shirts and skins or blue and gray - something?

[Lisa] or not

[Lisa] fog of war and all that

[TMO] fortunately the three races are all very visually distinct

[Carissa] I fully admit I'm leaning more towards going tunnels see about Glamis, but I will go with majority.

[Lisa] up close yes

[SpringyDew] don't forget bless and prayer

[SpringyDew] and chant

[TMO] do we need a player vote?

[Lisa] the drow have to be able to get to the surface so if we head to Glamis there is likely a tunnel to the surface there

[TMO] or sit and stare at our screens a bit longer? ;)

[MarioHome] I am back at the keyboard.

[Carissa] My thought. And I feel like we went to the witches to get to Glamis. Reason I'm stuck on it.

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (agreed)

[TMO] I'm not opposed

[Master] there is always very likely a way to the surface here in Northambria

[Lisa] Mario, spring?

[TMO] I lean battlefield based on my probably incomplete analysis

[SpringyDew] Glamis

[Carissa] Always a way to the surface, but why'd we go underground to start? :)

[TMO] (and Ilero won't even run off to do his own thing, I promise!)

[TMO] (brb)

[Master] HAH as he leave

[Carissa] So two for Glamis, one for Battlefield. Others?

[Carissa] lol

[Carissa] (Sorry, wait, if John is Glamis that is three)

[Lisa] I'm for Glamis and then up to the battlefield eventually

[Mara (MarioHome)] whichever you all decide

[Lisa] I want to go everywhere at least once

[Carissa] Haha true

[Lisa] we've been to Cawdor, witches, north ambria)

[Mara (MarioHome)] the farther from battle, the better ( while we ander into an unfriendly village of enemies)

[Lisa] next stop? Glamis then on to Battlefield Earth!

[Lisa] or some other battlefield

[Carissa] Battlefield Small Kingdom?

[Carissa] But yes, Glamis then to that other place

[Lisa] Probably a better story

[Lisa] :)

[Carissa] lol

[Master] it was decent the first third of the book

[Master] then it went awry

[TMO] (roger, lead on MacDuff!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (can we say we asked the dwarves for directions and headed out?)

[Carissa] (yes)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (brb)

[Master] so to be sure, you are leaving the dwarven village of Northambria, heading back into the tunnels you came, heading towards the tunnels that lead to Glamis and then going into the drow village

[Carissa] (Oh I thought you said did we....did we? Can we?)

[Master] None of the dwarves will leave the village

[Carissa] (This sounds like a bad plan when you write it that way but....)

[Carissa] Shi'Nynze: Magical Spell save: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

[Carissa] (Anyone listening in?)

[Master] they will show you the way to the surface or let you go back to the tunnels you came in

[Master] no one is reading Shi's mind

[Master] when you are in the tunnels you know how to get towards the junctions that lead towards Glamis but no dwarves will go with you

[Carissa] That's fair

[SpringyDew] test

[SpringyDew] oh good

[Master] smile

[Master] everyone is contemplating

[TMO] (I think we're waiting. Let's move out)

[Lisa] back

[Master] so going to attack Glamis

[Lisa] that's a little harsh, just going for a visit

[Carissa] Oh it's attacking?

[Acolyte Gerard (JohnA)] (just visiting)

[Master] chuckles, they are at war with the surface elves,

[TMO] and we have one of those

[Master] visiting them with cookies?

[Carissa] So hide the surface elf in back, then it's just humans who are lost.

[Lisa] do we look like a bunch of elves to you?

[Lisa] well one of us ...

[Carissa] And a halfling and a half

[Master] it is ok

[Carissa] She can wear a hat.

[Master] so heading out back into the tunnels

[Indigo (Lisa)] So Shi maybe you can see where the dwarf writing stops and the elf writing starts?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do elves write on walls like the dwarves?

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[TMO] (drow do I believe)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I don't know. Proper elves don't live underground.

[TMO] (oh, that was IC. ignore me)

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's true

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But if I see something... elvish-like, I'll let you know.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (not if they had good house training)

Indigo (Lisa) nods happily

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[SpringyDew] haha

[Master] so heading into the tunnels

Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew) taking two steps for every one of yours. short legs

[Master] off into the tunnels with Indigo up front for a light source

[Ilero]] (TMO) stews in his own thoughts, pondering the witches' message.

[Master] heading down

[Master] around corners

[Master] Indigo can make a direction sense check

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no he can't)

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

[Master] if not he can make a wisdom check

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: WIS check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] (he is wise beyond his height)

[Master] Indigo remembers which intersections to take based on what Skarp said to avoid

[Master] and you end up in a tunnel that has more webs than the rest

[Master] is less used Shur would guess

[Indigo (Lisa)] Uh oh

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] ew!!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] spider webs. Skarp talked about spiders

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well that's... unpleasant.

[Master] and now Indigo remembers what Skarp said about light

Indigo (Lisa) looks up

[Master] the tunnels are about 10 - 12 feet tall

[Master] about 10- to 15 feet wide

[Master] rough hewn

[Master] enough for two across

Ilero (TMO)] (sure we want to keep going this way?)

[Master] Time of Day: 11:00 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 348 SKR.

[Master] Time of Day: 11:15 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 348 SKR.

Ilero (TMO)] ;)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (no, ;))

Ilero (TMO)] (need a permanent Sphere of Fire rolling ahead of us)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Webs might just mean that the dwarves don't go further than here and we're almost there

[Master] brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[JohnA] I must depart, have fun, take care all

[Indigo (Lisa)] But ... it means that Siword and Macduff didn't go this way either

Ilero (TMO)] (gnite John)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (gnite john!

[Indigo (Lisa)] (goodnight John)

JohnA has left the game on Fri Nov 22 21:41:44 EST 2019

Ilero (TMO)] We knew t'at, I t'ought.

[Mara (MarioHome)] (oh bai john)

Ilero (TMO)] T'ey went battlefield.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno. Thought there would be more ways to get out of here.

[Indigo (Lisa)] This is like a mole village

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Especially when there are so few other turns.

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "We go on, or we go back. Gots to get t'ere somehow if we going to help."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yup

Ilero (TMO)] (OOC - I suggest NOT trying to sprint past this obstacle)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Can't be too much farther. I think we're going the way Skarp told us

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

Ilero (TMO)] (oh, were these webs thin dust-made cobwebs, or thicker spiderwebs?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If the webs get worse, we can go back,.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Assuming these are cobweb like....but if not...)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Master] The webs here look to be from disuse of these passages

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (nothing to worry about)

Ilero (TMO)] (Lead on, Leaders!)

Indigo (Lisa) cuts away at the webs as he walks along

[Master] so Indigo has the continual light belt buckle up and is moving forward

[Ilero]] (TMO) keeps his hand on his dagger hilt, watching the corners and shadows and behind.

[Master] so we are down to a few characters, what is the marching order? we will say that Tiberius is in the back carrying Miranda with Dray next to him

[Ilero]] (TMO) is behind them to protect Ty from the rear.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no - dwarves said they would take care of Miranda)

Ilero (TMO)] (oh, good point)

[Master] ok

[Mara (MarioHome)] (that’s what I thought)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (if they only gave her a cloth then we put her in the room scroll)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (was not going to carry her now that we had options)

[Master] the would crush her down to fit into an urn or give you a cloth

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Are we hiding the elf in back or not?)

Ilero (TMO)] (cloth + Room)

Ilero (TMO)] (anything else we need from the Room while it's open?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oh I thought they offered to watch the body)

[Master] the room is definitely an option

[Master] and yes

[Mara (MarioHome)] (the dude said he would dos as we wished)

[Master] they would watch it to crush it down

Ilero (TMO)] (that is not what we wished)

[Master] what do you want to happen?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (cloth and room scroll like tmo said)

Ilero (TMO)] (if the option is crushed or clothed, then clothed)

[Master] OK so open scroll, put body inside

[Master] take out anything?

Ilero (TMO)] (what is inside the Room scroll, to get out?)

[Master] then close up the scroll

Ilero (TMO)] (list on party pack page?)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (preferably in a large Ziplock bag, too)

[Master] this is the famous dead sea Tupper ware

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inzkJ34VMfk

[Indigo (Lisa)] (nothing else in the room scroll)

Ilero (TMO)] (we need to somehow acquire a large magic item inventory and storage and keep it in there.)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (All those potions could go in?)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (card catalog and shelves)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (So Talwin has less to worry about carrying)

Ilero (TMO)] (for later we can put them in there, but we can only get into the Room once in 24 hours, so anything we want to use tonight we have to have on us

Ilero (TMO)] (but it sounds like there's nothing in there to restock with, so I guess there's nothing to take out)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (think she meant the 23 unlabeled ones)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yes but all those potions are untested. Do we want them out?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Correct)

Ilero (TMO)] (oh, unless somebody wants to carry an untested hand grenade, putting those in the room makes sense to me)

Ilero (TMO)] (what I have playing right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-heSRbvCErU)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 3'05".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 21'11".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Lord Tiberius moved 6'09".

Ilero (TMO)] (umm, now that it's too late, do we have any sort of plan for what we're going to do at Glamis?)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (someone suggested trying to locate the magic item)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (don't know how to plan when we have no clue how it is laid out, if there are people there or anything)

Ilero (TMO)] (k, sounds reasonable! :) )

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Ilero want to turn off the light for a bit and sneak?)

Ilero (TMO)] (he can actually do that outside your light bubble, I would think. But yes, he can scout ahead if you want)

Ilero (TMO)] (or scout behind)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we could run into a door or guards or open passage - no clue)

[Master] so does that mean moving forward into the tunnel

[Indigo (Lisa)] (elf invisible slow mo pace?)

Ilero (TMO)] (I'm actually a bit nervous about him going off on his own down here, believe it or not)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (turn out the lights and hold on to people so the non dark seeing people don't fall on their faces)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oooh keep forgetting about elf-ness abilities)

Ilero (TMO)] (on the surface he has the advantage sneaking. down here in the dark they have all the advantages)

Ilero (TMO)] Hye suggest keep light on. Hif you want, hye can scout ahead briefly in dark while you stay put.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oh wait sorry, mostly invisible... in forests and nature so out of her element for some odd reason)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (But can still search for secret doors and such)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (bummer)

Ilero (TMO)] (this is nature! subterranean nature!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol I would agree but don't think that's how it works ;) )

[Indigo (Lisa)] (indigo can hand off the light someone cover it up and he can move ahead in the dark)

Ilero (TMO)] (can he see in the dark?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (halfling ultravision)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shi can keep close, she can also has ultravision)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (he has lizardvision)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (as does Shi)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so can Kenna)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (When you're short, you can see better)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (were surrounded by lizards!)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (hah)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ilero sometimes has night vision - so everyone hold hands and be quiet?)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (Emmy is watching a movie about a rabbit, a squirrel, and a chipmunk eating seeds outside in the rain)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so the humans don't trip)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that's nice!)

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero's only works in low-light conditions. pitch black is still pitch black to him)

Ilero (TMO)] (basically he's trained to pick out details in low-light normal people can't. But no light = no sight)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo can scout a bit and then come back and tell if it's safe or scream if it's not)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well at the first sign of a bigger spider... just remember Siffress)

[Master] So Indigo moves forward

[Master] no lights in the group

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Tiberius might have his ring... for those who know it exists)

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero works to get his eyes adjusted to the dark, just in case

Indigo (Lisa) hands Shur his buckle before he moves out about 30 feet and looks around

Indigo (Lisa) trying to be quiet

[Shurkural]] (TMO) whispers, "Put your pants back on! This is not the time for that."

Indigo (Lisa) nothing happens so moves up 50 feet and stops

[Master] slowly making his way down the tunnel

[Master] Indigo comes to another cross passage

Indigo (Lisa) looks both ways

[Master] the group behind him comes up and bumps into him as he stands there waiting

[Master] four options

[Indigo (Lisa)] Shhhhh

[Indigo (Lisa)] (3)

[Master] or back

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no going back)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we are so far gone to go back now)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (man must be nice not to have second thoughts)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (or that much determination... even if I voted for this ;) )

Indigo (Lisa) looks left

[Master] what is he looking for?

Shurkural (TMO)] (teeth)

Indigo (Lisa) light, a door, something that tells him let's go this way

[Master] nothing visible that way

[Indigo (Lisa)] (if Kenna or Shi has Obs they can look too)

Indigo (Lisa) looks right

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (nope)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (how about cobwebs - he had been cutting them since the passages hadn't been used - any look like they are used more often?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 - ROLL FAILED against 12!!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yes but no)

[Master] I will give Indigo a wisdom check

[Indigo (Lisa)] (any passages I meant)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: WIS check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master (to Lisa only)] there are no worked areas here, so there seems to be no regular living here

[Master (to Lisa only)] but there are thicker webs to the right side, which might mean that dwarves never go that way

Indigo (Lisa) whispers loudly back "This area doesn't look worked. Like no one lives here. The thicker webs are to the right."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Might mean the dwarves really don't go that way

[Indigo (Lisa)] But I dunno there have been webs for a while now.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not sure what it all means for which way we should go

Indigo (Lisa) cuts through the thick webs at the front of the right passage

[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay spider are you in there?

Indigo (Lisa) looks up

[Master] who is behind Indigo?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Careful.

Shurkural (TMO)] ("Nobody here but us chickens")

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Shi or Kenna?)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (if webs have not been cleared from here in a while, no 'food' moved through here, so the spiders should be dead)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (Kenna)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (if something's gonna drop it should drop on the idiot in front)

[Indigo (Lisa)] *cough*

Shurkural (TMO)] (who is NOT Ilero for once)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (say IC Mario? we should go right?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I really have no clue)

[Mara (MarioHome)] (nor do I, but seems logical)

[Master] so the chance to change the order

[Master] Indigo

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] Contessa, if I may

[Master] then Shi and ?

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (didn't Indigo have Direction Sense?)

[Master] no he does not

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes Bosi?

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (didn't somebody?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (dray)

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] the path is covered in webs, not cleared recently. so what would the spiders behind eat? they would either starve or move

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (oh that's helpful)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Anton)

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] both indicate a clear path

[Master] (smile at Lisa)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is a good point

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] (Anton had Weather Sense: " smells like rain..."

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] (and zero common sense)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It seems the Drow do not use these passages either

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

Branwyn (Lisa) pats Indigo on the shoulder, "You're doing well. Why don't we head right"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Attempt roll for secret passage?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sure)

[Master] Indigo moves forward, Shi behind him and then

[Master] who else

[Master] and yes to Carissa and yes I will have you roll if appropriate

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Indigo, Kenna, Shi, then... people)

[Master] OK

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (what Carissa said)

[Master] so out of the front three anyone with a chance to hear noise?

[Master] or any such thing?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (....elves got them good ears)

[Master] fair enough

[Master] you start to move down the passage

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (also wasn't sure if that was roll now or wait to roll for things)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Shur in the middle so she can whip out the light if needed?)

[Master] Shi can make which ever hear noise check you think is appropriate

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (hmm, last time we did this I rolled....not sure what I rolled, a d100, maybe?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (d100) [1d100=61] 61

[Master] I have a number

[Master] Ok

[Master] Alertness? observation? etc.> from the front three?

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

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Finally)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] Kenna Westfoot: INU check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

Shurkural (TMO)] (bravo!)

[Master (to Carissa only)] Shi can hear elven voices coming from up ahead to the right, perhaps a different passage, they are talking quietly,

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa) (to Master only)] quick test

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa) (to Master only)] can she make out words?

[Master (to Carissa only)] no

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) stops and motions the others to keep quiet

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) listens then points to the right

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) quietly, "Elvish."

[Master] Only the Halflings can see you

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) grabs whoever's hand is behind her, brings them close, whispers, and says pass it on

Rhibosi (MarioHome) hears flapping, can’t see what it is)

Shurkural (TMO)] (next person in line passes back "Selves". Third person says "Shelves"...)

[Master] the last person in the chain hears, Branwyn has a bunion

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (hahaha )

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] (hahahahahahahah!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lmao)

Shurkural (TMO)] (/me high fives Bob)

[Master] grins

[Master] what you do know is you have an intersection ahead with voices coming from the right passage

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (what we don't know is our next move :) )

Shurkural (TMO)] (SOP. lead the way with blades)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (just muffled voices - can't make out what they are saying?)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (what TMO said)

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] (make out the language?)

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] (drow or cool elf?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (nope to hearing what they say...yet)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Only know it's Elvish, not the words)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (We can always sit quietly and see if we can make out the words... at the risk of them maybe being hostile and attacking us first)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I think they will be hostile)

[Master] invading a drow village? worried they might be hostile? SHOCKED I tell you I am SHOCKED

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

Ilero (TMO)] LOLOL

Indigo (Lisa) sneaks up another 20 feet to see if he can see how many etc.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Then SOP blade peeps it is! After the sneaks)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And to be fair, they used to probably be nice. Still possible one or two might be still...maybe)

[Master] Indigo sneaks forward

Indigo (Lisa) looks around

[Master] hears the sounds coming from the right but the passageway continues ahead

[Indigo (Lisa)] (and no lights?)

[Master] zero lights

[Indigo (Lisa)] (can he see them to the right or just the sounds)

[Master] just hear

[Indigo (Lisa)] (just because you can see in the dark doesn't mean you have to live that way)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (stupid mole people)

Ilero (TMO)] (it's not dark if you can see)

Indigo (Lisa) goes back and tells them the voices come from a passage off to the right but it also goes on straight

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but can they see all colory or is it like night vision shades of gray vision?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (cuz that's boring)

Ilero (TMO)] (maybe that's why they're so cruel and wild.)

Ilero (TMO)] (combating boredom)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol I'm bored let's go kill something)

Ilero (TMO)] (you're in the lead. stab away)

[Indigo (Lisa)] takes the group to the next intersection

[Indigo (Lisa)] voices to the right and passage ahead

Ilero (TMO)] (I vote voices)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (let's go then)

Indigo (Lisa) sneaks again down the right passage about 20 feet

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (My votes goes with the one with the best stabbing abilities)

Indigo (Lisa) trying to get to the point where he can see how many etc.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (or can tell how many different voices he hears)

Indigo (Lisa) hears nothing and creeps up further as well as he can creep

Indigo (Lisa) not being a creeper by trade

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Indigo alone or dragging the elf with him?)

[Master] Indigo can make a dex check

[Master] and an intuition check

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: DEX check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: INU check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master (to Lisa only)] Indigo seems to be hidden

Indigo (Lisa) happy he seems to be hidden

[Master (to Lisa only)] Indigo can pick out at least five different voices they seem to be trying to be quiet and slightly worried

Indigo (Lisa) thinks maybe he's good at this creeping thing

[Indigo (Lisa)] hmmm ....

Indigo (Lisa) sneaks back to the group

Indigo (Lisa) whispers softly

[Master] Time of Day: 11:30 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 348 SKR.

[Master] Time of Day: 11:45 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 12th, 348 SKR.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I hear 5 voices

[Indigo (Lisa)] At least

[Indigo (Lisa)] They're being quiet too and sound kinda

[Indigo (Lisa)] Kinda like they are worried?

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] (Take Risperidone)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] ((had to ask JoAnn for a drug when you hear voices))

[Indigo (Lisa)] But not like loud guards

[Master] lol

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (ha)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (all male voices?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oooh that's why. They gonna die)

Ilero (TMO)] (it's elves - how can you tell?)

[Master] (he could not tell)

Ilero (TMO)] (my point exactly)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (haha ouch)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (dunno - thought I'd ask - sometimes you keep the women and children in safe places during battles)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (But if say Lolth took over or something, males gotta die so if it was males, also makes sense)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (like in the crypts at battle of Winterfell for that keep in LOTR)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (fighters all on top and weak waiting for it to be over)

Ilero (TMO)] (so...?)

Ilero (TMO)] (murder, or move on?)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (or diplomacy?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (if they sound worried, diplomacy could be a thing)

[Master] Who let Spring in?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Not New York)

[Master] Diplomacy?

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] ("excuse me, we are just creeping around down here looking for an amicable end to hostilities?")

Ilero (TMO)] (then go-go Elvish speakers!)

[Master] PHHHHH

[Master] grins

[Indigo (Lisa)] Guess we should go find out

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Single elvish speaker and someone might need to reminder her not to MURDER MURDER KILL or something)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (not knowing what sorts of elves these are might help with the not killing)

[Master (to SpringyDew only)] HUGS

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol true, so who's doing the diplomacy route? The three who can see?)

Ilero (TMO)] (maybe they like knitting and kittens)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (or toss a light near them and see how they react. Might blind them)

Ilero (TMO)] (do you want Ilero to do it?)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew) (to Master only)] HUGS back, heh

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Shi is only one that speaks elven?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Unless someone has a hidden talent, but she needs a stabby person at least)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (Kenna will interpretive dance at them)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (indigo and maybe Shur, Bosi etc. can help with fighting )

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (maybe do a hula with lots of imagery in it)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (bob says passage is 2 people wide)

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] (I vote interpretive dance!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ah so two of them. Shi and Indigo? Maybe?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (And two more backup close by?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so Indigo and Shi front and more in back - Shi can move back if gets all crazy combat)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (potion / scroll chest is on Indigo's back so if wanted)

[Indigo (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Branwyn and Tiberius can back you up if no one wants to be up close and personal)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (it's fine)

Ilero (TMO)] (keep the light handy in case us blindies have to get involved)

[Master] Branwyn and Tiberius are blind

[Master] can be anyone Shur, Bosi, etc.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Shur has it so behind those two would be good)

Ilero (TMO)] (roger. she stands there)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (pull out light if it gets angry)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (will blind the elves and Indigo for a minute)

[Master] so Kenna or Bosi next to Shur?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (til their eyes readjust)

[Master] Or Kenna behind Shur

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (Kenna behind Shurg)

[Master] right now I have Indigo and Shi next to each other

[Master] then Shur and XXXX

[Master] then Kenna and XXXX

Ilero (TMO)] (shurg?)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (Dwayne the Rock Johnson?!?!?!)

[Master] Mario?

[Master] You want second or third rank?

[Master] ok

[Master] so moving on

[Master] Indigo and Shi move forward

[Master] down into the passageway

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] sorry, I’m back

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] Wherever Bosi and Mara fit best

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] Bosi is a fighter so closer to the front is best)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Bosi and Shur?)

Ilero (TMO)] (yes)

Ilero (TMO)] (put Ty next to Kenna)

Ilero (TMO)] (Bran behind them)

Ilero (TMO)] (with Mara)

Ilero (TMO)] (then Ilero at the back? Who am I missing?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Ilero and Penelope in the very back)

Ilero (TMO)] (Pen, that's who I was missing)

[Master] The voices get louder

[Master] only because you grow closer

[Master] they are definitely elven

[Master] and then Shi hears

[Elf (Master)] halt who ventures near?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Travelers.

[Elf (Master)] you travel on an ill wind if you travel tonight

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (11 PM diplomacy will be fun...)

[Elf (Master)] what brings you to Glamis

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (A good question....)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Quick OOC, how honest are we being here?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (A prophecy? A shell? We're lost?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (My brain died 10 minutes ago)

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] (depends on who we are speaking to)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (can you see what kind of elf is talking yet?)

Ilero (TMO)] (then it sounds like you are the Ideal Diplomat)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol)

Ilero (TMO)] (an In-The-Dark Elf)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (ahahahaha)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] A search for help. Who speaks?

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) internally cringes

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) glances way, way back at Ilero before speaking again.

Ilero (TMO)] (heeheehee...)

Ilero (TMO)] (my influence is felt)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol and she kind of hates him for it but also not really)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (and sorry she has nothing to say, waiting for response)

[Elf (Master)] What Elf searches for help in the dark this night

[Indigo (Lisa)] (you could just babble about the wildlands wanting to see Birnham wood got lost in the tunnels etc.???)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] One who wishes to turn the tides of the battle.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (oh really we do?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (No no, we're going the ambiguous route now)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Until we can see each other)

[Elf (Master)] How do you wish the battle to go?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] In a way that best benefits elven kind.

[Elf (Master)] who do you worship?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well damn)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hmm...)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (justice! freedom!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (one sec quick myth check)

[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (well I’m currently agnostic ...)

Ilero (TMO)] (money)

[Elf (Master)] (chuckles in the interim I did a blood pressure check and I came up perfectly normal so I am having no qualms about this encounter)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] The one who... has had relations with the other side.

Ilero (TMO)] (why should a GM ever be worried)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Don't check mine)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that was a really weird answer)

Ilero (TMO)] (I've got another session of my campaign tomorrow. hope I'm ready)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol, yes it was couldn't think how to word it well)

[Elf (Master)] Maelis, my mother, held Glamis true to the ideals of Eilistraee, and though we could not settle on the surface, we made peace with our neighbors there.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Then I suppose I should tell you that Solonor does understand some of Eilistraee's ideals... even if they are harder to believe.

[Elf (Master)] why are you here?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I spoke true. But in the end, we hope to end Macbeth’s tyranny.

[Elf (Master)] you cannot enter Glamis while Lady Macbeth commands the battlefield

[Elf (Master)] or Macbeth is ensconced in Dunsinane

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] He's not in battle?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] And a shell? Do you know anything of a stolen shell?

[Elf (Master)] Macbeth locks himself in high Dunsinane, protected only by his steward, Peyton. The steward has taken many forms: drow, snake, dragon. We know not which is real, but his wyrm form cautions us to hold what distance our wisdom can provide. And Macbeth, the true power, lies inside. We have heard prophecies that Macbeth is invulnerable. If you have other beliefs, we would hear them:'

[Elf (Master)] I have not heard of Macbeth and a shell

Ilero (TMO)] (I think I actually know the answer to that one)

[Elf (Master)] the witches have imbued Lady Macbeth with who know which evil power

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] The three in the swamp or are the other witches involved?

[Elf (Master)] Lady Macbeth sought out the Witches for some infernal goal

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Tsk. That does not add up. If you wish to know our other beliefs, show yourselves.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) pauses to briefly summarize to Indigo and whoever we decided was right behind them

[Elf (Master)] since my mother's passing two years ago, Macbeth has become cold and obsessed with power. Worse, his Lady turned more brazen in her once clandestine worship of the Forbidden Goddess. Together, they have made Dunsinane the strongest house in Glamis, and we have adjusted. "A week ago, Lady Macbeth emerged from Dunsinane holding a black dagger. We believe it was a present from three witches, though it has been no gift to us. With this blade, she has taken control of our village.

[Elf (Master)] I am Lady Lennox

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

[Elf (Master)] we shall not show ourselves to halflings and humans trailing behind an Elf

Ilero (TMO)] (that's racist)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] That is fair, but I must know your words are honorable. I have... reservations.

[Elf (Master)] approach from the other end of the cavern, after you have defeated Lady Macbeth on the field of battle

[SpringyDew] (I’m beat. I gotta go)

[SpringyDew] (I daywalked today. nitey nite!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Night!)

[Elf (Master)] (Night Spring, almost done, see you next week)

Ilero (TMO)] (nite)

SpringyDew has left the game on Fri Nov 22 23:29:32 EST 2019

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] And you know nothing of how to defeat her?

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] (is that like day drinking? cuz... I did that today...)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I mean yes, but no)

[Elf (Master)] if you defeat her then we will be able to help, if we help you and you do not defeat her then we are doomed

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Then tell us how to get out of these infernal caverns.

[Elf (Master)] go the way you came

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) sighs, tells the others what was said, waiting to see if anyone wants to say anything else.

[Indigo (Lisa)] All the way we came from North Ambria?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] To Ambria?

Ilero (TMO)] Words not cost not'ing from t'em. Hif we lose, nobody tell anyone t'ey said t'em.

[Elf (Master)] if you allied with the dwarves, then to them you must go

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) looks at Ilero slightly confused

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (cause I can't read "English" right now)

Ilero (TMO)] Can t'ey offer advice?

Ilero (TMO)] More advice

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Do you have any advice? Well, more advice?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (there is no other way out of here to the battlefield? )

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ask if the lady is a vampire!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Is Lady Macbeth a vampire? She does not sound like a normal... Drow.

[Elf (Master)] for the last 2 days she has been stained with the blood of those in Cawdor and Glamis who she has slain

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) translates for Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that's better - she just doesn't know how to get out that damned spot)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) then shudders

[Indigo (Lisa)] Better than a vampire I guess

[Indigo (Lisa)] She makes undead though. Do they know what kind?

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's what we heard anyway

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] How does she defile them? We hear she raises them from the dead, but as what?

[Elf (Master)] her black dagger unleashes a wave of dark shadows

[Ilero]] (TMO) misses his Hand about now.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] The dagger unleashes dark shadows? One she got from the witches we just came from?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Unnatural.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Shadows. Like wraiths maybe.

Ilero (TMO)] T'e witches not choose future, t'ey See what Will Be.

[Elf (Master)] if you see to enter Glamis we must resist

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We will head to the field of battle.

[Elf (Master)] at the command of Lady Macbeth

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] ... it is not of your choice, then.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Then may our presence end her rule.

[Elf (Master)] they have made Dunsinane the strongest house in Glamis, and we have adjusted

[Ilero]] (TMO) considers if he can hide in shadows versus someone who can see in the dark

[Elf (Master)] (need shadows to hide in)

Ilero (TMO)] (that's what I was afraid of)

[Master] so going back to the dwarves?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But is that the way of Elisitree?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (or however it is spelled)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (someone who knows dispel magic can see if it dispels magic items)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (and yeah, sounds like it)

[Elf (Master)] we do not command Glamis

[Indigo (Lisa)] (need to neutralize that dagger)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yup thinking it's pointing towards Macbeth)

[Carissa] Oooh...I may be late depending if I go visit family.

Ilero (TMO)] (afaik I will)

[Master] apparently Carissa thinks she has other things

[Carissa] But I'll be on, eventually.

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] 50% for me

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

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] then Dec 6 def No

[Master] too much turkey and Mario is out like a log

[Carissa] Apparently. Knocks him out for a week.

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] and Dec 14 also def No, but I may log in so you can all wish me a happy anniversary

[Lisa] smiles

[Rhibosi (MarioHome)] and talk Joann into not divorcing me

[Master] all up to the Ohio State game

Ilero (TMO)] if she does you can play more often

[Master] TMO has a point

[Carissa] lol

[MarioHome] oh goodness, if we don’t win, it'll be tall five years we have been together that Michigan loses that game

[MarioHome] lol TMO, true...hmm...

[Master] hence who is divorcing whom

[TMO] I may have to travel to Portland sometime. Schedule unknown if so, but I'll keep you informed

[Lisa] Maine or Oregon?

[TMO] Oregon

[Master] I will wave my hand and say you are all out on the battlefield the beginning of the night next session

[Lisa] either would be nice

[Lisa] can we be on the edge so we can see what we're facing

[Carissa] Wooo

[Master] yes

[Lisa] don't pop us in the middle

[Carissa] Gives you all time to tell me if I shouldn't log in ;)

[Lisa] you are surrounded by wraiths and elves - action

[TMO] heh
