[Master] ==== Gaming session started: Thu Dec 12 18:53:07 EST 2019 ====

[Master] Spring and Mario are out tonight

[Master] TMO is going to be late at the earliest an hour late

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Dec 13 19:07:55 EST 2019

Lisa is receiving the map Base Map...

Lisa has received the map Base Map.

[Master] Hello there

[Lisa] Hello

Carissa has joined the game on Fri Dec 13 19:08:53 EST 2019

Carissa is receiving the map Base Map...

Carissa has received the map Base Map.

[Master] and John just posted in Discord that he might not make it in

[Master] and hello

[Lisa] yes

[Lisa] Hi Carissa!

[Carissa] Hi Lisa and Bob!

[Carissa] So.... small group.

[Master] yes

[Master] maybe Michael and Ryan

[Carissa] Also, seriously, kick me out early next Friday. I don't have self-control.

[Master] to add to you two

[Master] I will

[Lisa] thought Ryan is working now

[Carissa] Yeah not sure what Ryan's schedule is like, was confused.

[Master] and yes you reminded me now of that

[Carissa] Or if it just meant he'll be late or sometimes not make it.

[Master] I told him to just log in if he was late would still be fine

[Carissa] It's fine, Lisa! We got this! So reverse TMO plan. Shi and Branwyn decide they're tired of this and leave the others to go on their own adventure THEN when the others log in, they can deal with it!

[Lisa] LOL!!

[Carissa] A good kind of party split :D

[Master] laughs

[Lisa] for us anyway

[Carissa] lol

[Master] actually they would be one round behind so no party split

[Master] just leaving this adventure behind

[Lisa] not if we tied them to trees

[Master] LOL

[Master] LOL

[Master] if only they were here to tie them up first

[Master] cannot affect a one round behind character

[Master] Well unless avalanche, tidal wave, etc.

[Master] that wipes out large areas

[Lisa] stupid rules

[Carissa] Ughh

[Lisa] :)

[Master] chuckles

Lisa is receiving the map forest 4...

Lisa has received the map forest 4.

Carissa is receiving the map forest 4...

Carissa has received the map forest 4.

[Master] You do need to talk with the remaining people still standing

[Master] 5 of the 50+ are still alive

[Carissa] True. I'm also looking up prophecy things for reminders plus whatever what's his face said about the scroll still not used.

[Carissa] Wanted to put it all together in notes, but life happens.

[Master] plus knowing how you want to figure out Macbeth

[Lisa] Macbeth could have some magical protection

[Carissa] Well... question. Is the shell a once a day item? Or do we not have a way of knowing?

[Lisa] if we see him with anything suspicious you could try to use it

[Lisa] Branwyn has the shell - meant if Macbeth had some protection amulet or something

[Carissa] I'm thinking if the shell can be used more than once by any woman, if Branwyn fails to charm him could she just pass it off to Shi to try?

[Lisa] we might have a use for it yet - or not

[Carissa] Ahh true on protection

[Lisa] that's a bob question

[Master] At this point we do not know

[Lisa] I had a bob question about the CON loss with the dagger

[Carissa] It was a small hope we might :)

[Master] ask away

[Master] relaxed easy figuring things out

[Lisa] description said lose 1 pt. of CON per day

[Lisa] permanent?

[Master] magically repairable

[Lisa] And holding it for an hour makes Bran lose 1 CON pt.?

[Carissa] Read that was relaxed easy fighting... sigh

[Lisa] don't know who knows a repair CON spell

[Lisa] lol - relaxed fighting

[Lisa] we wish!

[Carissa] Wishful thinking ;)

[Carissa] If anyone complains we do more RP than combat or some such in the next year, I might smack them.

[Lisa] LOL

[Carissa] Or how they want more big battle combat or something. ANY of that. Smack.

[Master] so wielding it causes the loss of the Con, 1 point per day of using

[Master] BUT

[Master] I did not include one note about the dagger

[Master] (that I missed before )

[Master] SO what I am going to rule is that (this time only) you two get to decide

[Carissa] No pressure.

[Lisa] that's not fair if it is something that would have changed my mind about using it

[Lisa] so go for it

[Lisa] I used it knowing I would lose CON

[Carissa] (And looking through my spells, dunno what can be used to restore it)

[Master] Does the Dagger of Hecate A - stay as part of the game, Branwyn takes 1 point of Con loss, but no additional loss because she mastered it OR B - Play it like it says in the adventure where the dagger disappears when Lady Macbeth dies but Branwyn still takes the 1 point of Con loss

[Lisa] well if it disappeared when she died then we get to replay the whole shadow battle?

[Carissa] Oh gods no.

[Master] no

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] So.. she was on the verge of dying, we beat the shadows, NOW she's dead dead?

[Master] I would rule that it disappears now

[Master] yes

[Lisa] I will go with whatever you want

[Carissa] Well, it's a weapon Branwyn has so I feel it's more up to Lisa BUT I also feel like Branwyn wouldn't want to keep it and it's easier to get rid of an evil dagger if it just... disappears :)

[Lisa] It's seriously not like I want an evil talking dagger that drains her life force

[Lisa] I would have to research how to possibly get CON back

[Master] that has to happen anyway

[Lisa] She'd be dead in a couple weeks

[Master] Branwyn loses the point of Con no matter what

[Carissa] To clarify: is it a single CON point total if she keeps it or keeps losing one point?

[Master] but only 1 point

[Lisa] It could be really useful in Hell

[Master] no matter if you keep it or not only 1 point

[Carissa] Any other downsides if kept?

[Lisa] okay

[Master] unless Branwyn loses control of the dagger, then it would overpower her and take over

[Lisa] It's an EVIL talking dagger?

[Master] she would be in control of the dagger

[Carissa] How often would that roll happen and/or when would we know?

[Master] LOL

[Master] when something changes with Branwyn, HP loss for example

[Carissa] AND if it took over... is it possible another 100 Shadows might appear?

[Master] yeap

[Carissa] ....okay, yeah, sorry Lisa, still ruling disappear after getting more details...

[Lisa] if it took her over would it change her alignment?

[Master] yes

[Lisa] Could be a fun way to go out ...

[Carissa] The fact you'd have to reroll with just HP loss is... worrisome, especially as we still have more battling to do.

[Carissa] Being evil and having shadows kill all your friends?

[Master] not any HP loss but over 25%

[Lisa] Dahlia - Daddy, what happened to Mommy? We never see her any more

[Carissa] lol

[Carissa] So if Branwyn takes more than 9 HP loss.

[Carissa] Or 8 HP....depends how you want to round it.

[Master] I am being intentionally vague because ALL intelligent weapons act the same way

[Master] Teb almost did it to Kel

[Master] When Kel went to negatives that time

[Carissa] Well yeah, but that's like just giving Grandpa free range for story time.

[Carissa] Not summoning a hoard of shadows :)

[Lisa] though with Bran's level and INT it would be hard to take her over

[Master] but if Bran gets knocked out, would have to reestablish dominance over it

[Master] so yes very hard to take her over but always possible

[Lisa] or just never pick it up again

[Master] this is true

[Carissa] Hmm, also true. But I am still scarred by the Shadows. I'm a cautious person.

[Lisa] only way to force the roll would be for that to happen while it was unsheathed

[Master] Branwyn XP award: 500. Next level in 194815.

[Master] Shi'Nynze XP award: 500. Next level in 205786.

[Carissa] How often would that happen? I suppose questions are now for you on Branwyn's plans if it remained.

[Lisa] Bran has less xp to level than Shi!

mharm-95433 has joined the game on Fri Dec 13 19:34:22 EST 2019

mharm-95433 is receiving the map Base Map...

[Lisa] if she keeps the dagger she would get a bunch more xp

mharm-95433 has received the map Base Map.

[Lisa] Hi Michael!

[Master] Hello Michael

[Lisa] 2 seconds too late!

[mharm-95433] apologies just got back from LA. So tired. But I am here. Sorry

[mharm-95433] Getting into Character

[mharm-95433] Hi All!

[Lisa] No apologies

[Master] You should have just stopped by Lisa’s while in LA and played from there

[Master] :)

[Lisa] we haven't started

[Carissa] No need. We're making decisions.

[mharm-95433] LOL

[Carissa] Also hi!

[mharm-95433] :)

[Lisa] I barely made it in - late work day for me

[Carissa] Okay so if she rerolled, would she lose another CON point?

[Master] when re-establishing control yes

[mharm-95433] I theoretically had "fun" at Disney. Until work wouldn't stop calling me. Then I just worked. So, next time, turning off phone not bringing computer, nothing.

[Lisa] Good idea!

[mharm-95433] They can suffer as I suffered

[Carissa] Also confused by the XP comment Lisa.

[mharm-95433] :)

[Lisa] No work at the happiest place on earth

[Lisa] you get xp when you possess items

[Lisa] right?

[Carissa] Which is happier: World or Land??

[mharm-95433] Land

[mharm-95433] Land [mharm-95433] Land

[mharm-95433] Epcott is okay

[Carissa] Ahhh didn't know that and/or don't know?

[Carissa] lol

[Lisa] let's not get all east/west coast

[Lisa] The sign is at Land - not sure on earth :)

[Master] chuckles

[mharm-95433] Florida is great for Universal and Bob lectures. California is great for Disneyland where I don't get patted down four times by security for wearing cargo shorts. My lord

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] Okay so Michael, you can weigh in on this decision

[Master] grins

[mharm-95433] What is that Carissa? :)

[Carissa] Does the dagger disappear as it was supposed to when Lady Macbeth dies OR does Bob change it and allow Branwyn to keep it? Know that:

[mharm-95433] (Does the colon mean she is typing?)

[Lisa] yes

[Carissa] She will remain one less CON point, and if she must remaster it, she will lose another CON point. If it takes back over, it CAN summon more shadows. If she loses more than 25% HP, she would need to reroll to make sure it doesn't take back over.

[mharm-95433] KK

[Carissa] And.... hmm what other clarifications did I ask?

[mharm-95433] Hm. Bob is okay with either choice?

[Master] as far as you can tell it does not tell cool stories like Teb

[mharm-95433] Thought

[Carissa] Well no, I did read the chat. Not cool stories at all.

[Lisa] you don't know it would call up 100 shadows

[Carissa] Bob is letting us choose.

[mharm-95433] If she "Stores" the dagger in the room of requirement, does it reach across her when she falls below 25 percent, or only when on her person

[Lisa] the dagger has the ability to create werewolves - it could always do that instead for fun

[Master] This dagger is the only known artifact that can turn Elves into Werewolves

[Lisa] yipee!

[Carissa] He does say it is possible for it to summon more Shadows. Whether or not it would, we don't know.

[Carissa] lol

[Carissa] OH! Also it could turn Branwyn evil.

[Lisa] yes - those are the 2 special spell powers

[Lisa] only if she loses control over it

[mharm-95433] IF and I mean IF it can only affect her negatively when on her person, then yes keep that shit. Was that ever a question?

[mharm-95433] Holy shit, I'd keep it in a heartbeat

[Lisa] hmmmm

[mharm-95433] Store it when you don't wanna turn evil

[Lisa] LOL

[Carissa] Yeah figured you'd say that. Call me cautious, but I swear, if it summons shadows on us, I'm logging off. You can deal with it.

[mharm-95433] Or when you wanna go crazy on politicians, take it out of storage

[Carissa] OH! Another important question.

[mharm-95433] Eh, the game would get interesting really quickly, ya gotta admit

[Carissa] If she keeps it, does Lisa make it talk?

[Carissa] Nope. I'm all shadow'd out.

[mharm-95433] and the whole time, bob would be saying "I told you so you fools"

[Master] yes

[Carissa] I hope Teb is still around... if she keeps it, they need to chat.

[Lisa] Bob - was Michael right that she would only have to re-roll when the stuff happens while she's using it?

[Carissa] Maths question: what are the chances of things going wrong as in roll thresholds?

[Lisa] If it is sheathed and she gets heavily wounded the dagger wouldn't know, right?

[Lisa] like Teb didn't know what happened when he was sheathed

[Master] If Bran has it sheathed and loses HP then regains it no to needing to reroll, if she is down HP and pulls it out there might be a need for a roll

[Lisa] ok

[mharm-95433] Keep it

[mharm-95433] I changed my mind

[mharm-95433] Keep it

[mharm-95433] :)

[Lisa] lol

[mharm-95433] Good clarification

[mharm-95433] Just don't lose it. Might turn a city into the city of the shades

[Master] the key point to consider: Are you planning on keeping it? or destroying it?

[mharm-95433] Since you know

[mharm-95433] All the woman and children instantly turn

[Master] if you want to destroy it because it is evil and you get XP for destroying it then you can make that happen now

[Carissa] Well then I will say for RP aspects, if you kept it, you'd have some disagreement there, too.

[Carissa] Oooh well there's you other option for XP.

[Master] OR you can keep it and then make choices later on

[Lisa] since we can only destroy it in a cauldron of lost souls - not sure we can right this second

[Carissa] We can if BOB says we can.

[Master] Divination anyone?

[Master] grins

[mharm-95433] Not me unfortunately

[mharm-95433] Neith could I think

[Carissa] Why? We can find the witches again ;)

[Master] "where is the well of lost souls"

[Master] grins

[Lisa] HELL

[mharm-95433] Can't bran ask her orb thingy?

[mharm-95433] Palantir

[Lisa] no

[mharm-95433] ?

[Carissa] But yes, also Divination whenever we can use spells willy-nilly again.

[mharm-95433] She's out of the mist

[mharm-95433] hm

[mharm-95433] (Are we the only ones in?)

[Master] fine point on the magic of a Crystal Ball, you can only spy on People not on things

[Lisa] we do have to see the witches again

[Carissa] How would we destroy it now? Just say: destroy it? And ignore the cauldron unless we decide to keep it?

[mharm-95433] What if people "have" the things?

[mharm-95433] Can you see who owns it?

[Lisa] Got any lost souls in there with the eyes of newt?

[Master] if you know who owns it yes, grins

[Master] you look for the person not the thing

[mharm-95433] Ah shoot

[mharm-95433] Ok

[mharm-95433] see the witches

[mharm-95433] gotcha

[mharm-95433] or keep a badass weapon that will destroy the world

[mharm-95433] which is cool to

[mharm-95433] Either way, I'm going to have fun

[Lisa] if we destroy it the xp goes to everyone

[mharm-95433] XP is always nice, but levels aren't everything. You are literally holding a god Tier weapon. Even gods would fear you since it was crafted by one of them. You never know when you may need that kind of power either for fighting, or for trading...

[Lisa] but it's evil

[Carissa] And if it just disappears, no XP?

[mharm-95433] but again. It's your show :) I just give an opinion or devil's advocate. I'm fine either way.

[mharm-95433] Is it?

[Lisa] yes

[mharm-95433] You’re the one holding it

[Carissa] Very.

[mharm-95433] I would much rather you hold it

[mharm-95433] then someone who is actually evil

[Lisa] right now she is controlling the evil

[Carissa] Yes, but it's also intelligent.

[Master] I will give some XP no matter what

[mharm-95433] Can it be put into stasis?

[mharm-95433] use the power, while it is "dumb?"

[Carissa] Some XP meaning certain decisions will give more XP? ;)

[mharm-95433] LOL

[Master] at this point we don't know

[Carissa] No. It's like Teb. If you hold it, it can influence you.

[Carissa] Well someday our XP will come. Or so I heard. Once...

[Carissa] ;)

[mharm-95433] Well, we don't know bob. I'm sure you’ve thought of a million different possibilities that we won’t comprehend until thirty games from now...

[Master] I was about to do that when Michael logged in

[mharm-95433] LOL

[mharm-95433] sorry for holding up

[Carissa] Hahaha

[Master] but I am off until January 6th now

[mharm-95433] YAY

[Master] so I will take the time to update everyone

[mharm-95433] Extra games...

[mharm-95433] Christmas eve game???

[mharm-95433] ;)

[Carissa] I just imagine Disney princess singing, then Michael barging in and scarying all the animals away.

[Master] Hey if people want that I could

[mharm-95433] LOL

[Lisa] lol

[Master] LOL

[mharm-95433] I totally want that.

[Carissa] Oooh... I mean....I might be up for that. We do Christmas Eve 23rd so not like I'm busy 24th.

[Master] chuckles we do Christmas on the 24th so I cannot run a game that night

[Master] but I could do a different time perhaps

[mharm-95433] I know people got family though, so don't want to be an ass. Just a thought...

[mharm-95433] :)

[Carissa] Bah humbug!

[Master] or a longer game one normal Friday

[Master] etc.

[mharm-95433] An extra Xmas present for us...

[mharm-95433] I'd be down with that

[Master] the next time we would miss is Valentine’s Day

[Carissa] Eh, we have plenty of other days we can bug him for more game time or extra game time.

[mharm-95433] Heehee

[Master] and yes to a Bonus Game sometime in the spring

[Carissa] International Game Board Day?

[mharm-95433] I'd love one.

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Temporary Modifiers - CON: (CTM) : CHANGED: -1 (null).

[mharm-95433] YES

[mharm-95433] IGBD

[Master] that is in November

[mharm-95433] NM

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Personal Information - Base Move: (BMOVE) : CHANGED: 6 (null).

[Carissa] I thought it was in April?

[mharm-95433] We can pretend it is

[mharm-95433] ;)

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Class Levels - Warrior: (WARL) : CHANGED: 7 (6).

[Master] Actually Lisa

[Master] Not that change

[Carissa] Ahh I'm thinking Tabletop Day. Which is now June.

[Master] hmmm

[Master] now thinking

[Lisa] did I do something wrong?

[Master] I am trying to remember when I change the Level

[Master] and I think you did it right

[Lisa] fixed Ryan's movement and level and added a -1 to Bran's CON

[Lisa] He had level 7 and warrior 6

[Lisa] thought the 7 had to be right

[Master] Ahh

[Master] so yes it WAS right

[Master] His Level is 7 based on XP

[Master] but he is trained up through Level 6

[Lisa] ohh so I screwed it up?

[Master] when all is fixed and full for the change from 6 to 7 then it updates

[Master] not screwed up,

[Lisa] should I change it back?

[Master] You were being nice for him

[Master] please yes, change it back

[Master] BUT

[Master] wait

[Master] the only thing that might change is his Saves

[Master] and HP

[Carissa] I believe so. Think saves change 7-9...

[Master] so if you want to update his saves for him

[Master] then you can leave the change in level :)

[Lisa] but he should have changed that when he levelled without training

[Master] yes he SHOULD have

[Lisa] straight fighter

[Master] yeap[

[Lisa] dwarves get special saves?

[Master] for Poison yes

[Master] they get a Con bonus

[Master] so Michael your final word on the dagger

[Master] Carissa your final word on the dagger

[Master] and then Lisa can be the tie breaker if needed

[mharm-95433] Bob, I really feel this is Lisa's decision. It' rightfully hers

[Carissa] And here I was delaying hoping for TMO to jump in now.

[mharm-95433] I'd say keep, but ultimately it's hers. However, I also don't want to be blamed later on when she goes nuts and we all die ;)

[mharm-95433] No pressure Lisa

[Carissa] Ughh, sorry, but I take the cautious approach and say it disappears.

[Master] so Michael says Keep and deal with consequences Carissa says disappears and not worry about them

[Carissa] More reasons than caution alone, but that's part of it.

[mharm-95433] It would be a fun quest to find the cauldron of souls to destroy too. We mind find other cool artifacts later

[Master] so it is up to Lisa for a final choice

[mharm-95433] Yep

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Personal Information - Next Level:: CHANGED: 125000 (64000). Combat - Melee THAC0: (THAC0) : CHANGED: 14 (15).

[mharm-95433] (I do think we both offered sage advice Carissa. Opposites weighing pros and cons. Don't think I was trying to force, cause that def. wasn't my intention.)

[mharm-95433] :)

[Lisa] Skarphedin: Attack: Hrotti: ((14-(d20+0))-1) [1d20=20] -7 [MODIFIED (-1)]

[Master] Branwyn XP award: 100. Next level in 194715.

[Carissa] I know, no worries. :)

[Master] for character sheet work

[Lisa] don't know how to fix his saves - they are all wildly different than the chart

[mharm-95433] (Ok. Just didn't want any hard feelings. It's hard to convey tone over text)

[Lisa] but fixed xp and thaco

[Carissa] Is it character sheet work or procrastination work? I know how that works ;)

[mharm-95433] LOL

[Carissa] Haha, no worries at all, really. Didn't read it that way so all good!

[Carissa] Okay one last try...

[Carissa] TMO TMO TMO

[Lisa] which makes me think he needs a HP roll but don't want to roll that for him

[Master] So also if this were to come up with a magic item the normal way on who is to get it or some such decision,

[mharm-95433] LOL. You want me to text him?

[Lisa] hey you levelled and got 1 more HP

[Lisa] yay

[Carissa] lol

[Lisa] let him do that

[Master] each PC gets 2 shares, each Henchman gets 1 share

[Master] which is also 1 die to roll if needed

[Lisa] nah

[Carissa] Nah he's out doing errands. He said about an hour.

[Master] so for example a dagger that several characters want

[Master] everyone rolls a d20 per share

[Carissa] Toss a coin. Fight to the death. The usual.

[Master] and the high one wins it

[Master] so a henchman might beat out 2 PCs still

[Master] IF there cannot be a consensus

[Master] it has only happened once or twice a LONG time ago

[Carissa] Thankfully we've been able to talk it out so far.

[Master] it is the same way I give out XP

[Carissa] But I would laugh if we fought over it and it went to an NPC

[Master] PC gets 2 shares, Henchman gets 1 share, etc.

[Master] so Lisa

[Master] your final thoughts vote on keeping or making the dagger disappear

[Carissa] (or one last attempt to summon TMO)

[Master] Michael did you read the chat to see what happened to Branwyn with the dagger?

[Master] I know Carissa did

[mharm-95433] I was here last week so I know

[mharm-95433] :)

[Master] Lisa can describe if you like

[mharm-95433] It's rough

[mharm-95433] for sure

[Carissa] It kept telling her to summon more shadows.

[Lisa] it was talking to her

[Lisa] like you want to end this now - which she did!

[mharm-95433] My only swinging point is that it "quiets" when she isn't actively using it. If she is only using briefly, then I'm fine with it.

[Lisa] just not that way

[mharm-95433] :)

[Carissa] True... but if it falls in the wrong hands?

[Carissa] AND the make their rolls?

[mharm-95433] Definitely a possibility

[Carissa] Not likely, either, but possibility.

[mharm-95433] I'm not doubting that

[mharm-95433] In bobs world, anything can happen.

[Lisa] they would have to grab the handle or take 224 pts of dmg

[Master] Dahlia, WHAT did I tell you about playing with Mommies daggers?

[Lisa] LOL

[mharm-95433] Yep. Destroy that shit Lisa

[mharm-95433] I changed my mind again

[Master] lol

[mharm-95433] I'm team destroy

[Carissa] Ugh, now I need to sweep out the Shadows again, Dahlia!

[mharm-95433] seriously

[Carissa] LOL

[Master] NO you cannot chase your brother around the house with that!

[Carissa] Branwyn can have all the XP, I'm fine with that, I'm just cautious,.

[mharm-95433] I'm laughing so hard I need to get a drink. BRB

[Carissa] Dahlia, what do you have? The dagger. Oh ok....WHAT??

[mharm-95433] Also fine not having XP over here. This adventure truly was hers :) I had fun regardless

[Carissa] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRkbCOaA7Fo

[Lisa] from a moral dilemma perspective I'm intrigued

[Carissa] (It's making the rounds lately)

[Carissa] I mean, if you want a moral dilemma, we can give you one in a safer manner. I'm sure plenty are waiting for you in Hell, anyways.

[Lisa] but if you really never intended it to exist longer than lady Macbeth I can handle it disappearing

[Master] I am going with that the group wants

[Master] I am fine either way because that is how stories go

[mharm-95433] Bob, if we destroy it, can we have witnesses to spread a "Legend" of Branwyn the mighty, who destroyed the evilest of artifacts? Oh gods we could have so much fun with that.

[Master] that is already known from winning this battle

[mharm-95433] (Not that we destroyed it. Just that we have it. Which makes her a target.)

[mharm-95433] Right?

[Carissa] Tell Bacon. He'd be happy to write another play.

[Master] it disappears now because of you, you keep it and destroy it because of you, both are stories that will be known

[mharm-95433] Could always throw it in Warehouse 13 in the dark zone

[mharm-95433] Actually, none of you may have gotten that ref. Sorry)

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5pd1U6yXe0

[Carissa] Whoooosh.

[Carissa] Over our heads....or at least mine, yes :)

[mharm-95433] I like Bobs though :)

[mharm-95433] LOL

[Lisa] Hecate in Macbeth - Saucy and overbold, how did you dare To trade and traffic with Macbeth In riddles and affairs of death, And I, the mistress of your charms, The close contriver of all harms, Was never called to bear my part, Or show the glory of our art?

[Master] also for you Michael if you have not seen it before - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lk5_OSsawz4

[Lisa] She is scolding the witches for not saving her a spot at the cauldron

[mharm-95433] LOL

[mharm-95433] where did you find that?

[Master] it is very old but very fun

[mharm-95433] 22 million views. I'd say

[Master] listening to Lisa's choices

[Carissa] (Take your time. Long you think, longer it is until we face Macbeth)

[Master] I think that final climatic battle will be next week

[mharm-95433 (to Master only)] I'm surprised that song didn't have anything from Harry Potter. One of his biggest movies

[Lisa] really?

[Lisa] so what are we going to do tonight?

[Master] you have to solve this, deal with the grey elves, deal with the dark elves, get to Glamis, deal with the village, deal with the guardian,

[Carissa] Ah, well, then maybe it WILL be easier to leave early....?

[Master] still have not solved all the prophecies

[Lisa] we are at Glamis!

[Master] no you are in the forest

[Carissa] We're outside Glamis. And we still have to talk to Lady Lennox who may or may not want to talk to non-elves.

[Master] you never actually went into the drow village

[Lisa] what is the cave we see?

[Carissa] Oh and somehow bring the forest with us to the fight.

[Master] that is the way down

[Master] Carissa brings up another point

[Carissa] And see how the living 5 are doing.

[mharm-95433] Ah, remember to bring a branch with us!

[Lisa] oh just kick lady Macbeth down the tunnel

[Master] LOL

[Lisa] someone should come up

[Carissa] You know party split adventure time is still an option...

[Carissa] Talwin can join, too.

[mharm-95433] (it always ends poorly.)

[mharm-95433] LOL

[mharm-95433] Thank you! :)

[mharm-95433] I’ve always wanted to be part of an adventure

[mharm-95433] haha

[Lisa] Lady Lennox said she would only talk to us when we were at the other side of her tunnel

[mharm-95433] Phrasing

[mharm-95433] but yes

[Carissa] Main entrance to Glamis, I interpreted it. Or, close to it, at least.

[mharm-95433] hm

[mharm-95433] Hey bob, before I forget. Stick a branch from the woods in my pack. Cool with that?

[Master] sure

[Carissa] "Approach from the other side of the cavern" so still thinking there.

[mharm-95433] OK

[Lisa] yes so through Glamis and Macbeth

[Carissa] MacDuff might know something about it. He did say something about the Guardians.

[Carissa] And now that we aren't dead, he might talk.

[Lisa] I'm thinking keep the dagger for now

[Carissa] No necessarily Macbeth. She said once Lady Macbeth was dead. He's currently holed up in his house inside Glamis.

[Master] Very well so keeping the dagger

[Lisa] If we run into her before Macbeth in the tunnels that would be good

[Carissa] Hope he doesn't wrestle it away when he stabs him with it.

[Carissa] I think it's possible from the conversation.

[Lisa] very well is better than OK

[Lisa] the

[Master] chuckles

[Lisa] OK

[mharm-95433] lol

[Lisa] of doom

[Carissa] Yup

[Master] it like parcing statements from the Chairman of the Federal Reserve

[mharm-95433] You can parse the statements? You need to be an attorney bob. Cause I don't understand half of the federal reserve policies

[mharm-95433] Don't get me started on them

[Lisa] brb

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] so Carissa and Michael do you know what you want to do about the prophecies?

[Master] and to talk with the 5 survivors?

[mharm-95433] Quite frankly? No. I got the prophecy about the "woods"

[Carissa] Well talking is doable. Prophecies...dunno.

[mharm-95433] I'm down to talk to them, but not really sure what to say...

[mharm-95433] I do know that we need to get to Glamis

[Carissa] Guard MacDuff, forests and high whatever bring down Macbeth and....forget what else.

[mharm-95433] I'm hoping that by the time everyone gets in, we can get at least to the battle point next week

[Carissa] But MacDuff might have ideas what the prophecy means since we told him.

[Master] Yes you need to go back down underground to Glamis at some point

[mharm-95433] Oh, and we gotta ask if Macduff was born via c-section

[Master] but once you do it will not be easy to just jump back outside for something

[mharm-95433] He's gotta give the killing blow

[Carissa] So we need to talk to MacDuff, got it.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) running back to the battlefield, "The town is saved."

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) stops and catches a breath.

mharm-95433 Running too?

mharm-95433 Follow that Shi!

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well we were running back to try to help with shadows)

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) looks around.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] The shadows are gone?

[Siward (Master)] Aye

Branwyn (Lisa) takes out her magic dagger and shoves the evil one in the sheath

Branwyn (Lisa) then runs to the fallen Tiberius

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Good... but... at a loss.

mharm-95433 Runs to help Tiberius as well

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Do you fair well?

mharm-95433 To Bran

Indigo (Lisa) sinks to the ground

[mharm-95433] "What Can I do?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] (IC now pls)

[mharm-95433] (Shoot. One sec)

mharm-95433 is receiving the map forest 4...

mharm-95433 has received the map forest 4.

[mharm-95433] I am back at the keyboard.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "What Can I do?"

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Tiberius and then up at Talwin

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think he'll be fine. He doesn't look much more hurt than he was before.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He must have ... overdone himself again

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "I'll check on our comrades then. And see about the elves yonder."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you Talwin

Talwin (mharm-95433) Moves towards the five remaining elves

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "Hail"

[Siward (Master)] Talwin sees Indigo crying over Penelope

Talwin (mharm-95433) Halts

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Oh no

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] no no no

Branwyn (Lisa) returns to patting Tiberius waiting for him to wake up

Talwin (mharm-95433) Runs to Indigo

Talwin (mharm-95433) Stops a few feet away

[Master] actually 2 elves 3 dwarves left standing other than your group

Talwin (mharm-95433) Hesitantly

Talwin (mharm-95433) Indigo?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes?

Indigo (Lisa) looks up

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can't bring her back this time

[Indigo (Lisa)] She's really left

Talwin (mharm-95433) Come here. Let me get you away for now. I'll take care of her for you. I've got a small tarp set up over yonder from before the battle. Let me take care of this for you. Why don't you take a few moments yes?

Talwin (mharm-95433) Anxious. Not really knowing how to deal with this

Indigo (Lisa) nods

Talwin (mharm-95433) Bends a little and puts arm around Indigo

Indigo (Lisa) steps off to the side

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "Come on my Friend."

Talwin (mharm-95433) Walks him to tarp

Talwin (mharm-95433) Pulls out a hidden whiskey from the false bottom of his pack.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Don't tell

Talwin (mharm-95433) Smiles weakly

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "Drink this would you?"

Talwin (mharm-95433) You might be going into shock

Talwin (mharm-95433) Pulls out blanket

Talwin (mharm-95433) Wraps around

Indigo (Lisa) slides down onto the tarp

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you Talwin

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Just sit here. And take a moment Okay? Don't move until I get back.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'll just sit here

Talwin (mharm-95433) Unpacks a long cloak. Takes another from Ilero’s pack after a hesitation

Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods to Indigo

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Yes, do that.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods at the flask.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Drink

Indigo (Lisa) holds the pick that he used to kill Penelope in his hands in front of him

Talwin (mharm-95433) Takes both cloaks and goes to Penelope

Talwin (mharm-95433) Hesitates

[Indigo (Lisa)] (think she is a shadow)

Talwin (mharm-95433) Noticing the pick

Talwin (mharm-95433) Indigo?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (*not sure we have a body...)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Huh?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (I think the body remained, but she "became" shadow

[Master] checking

[Indigo (Lisa)] (k)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Why don't I hold that for you eh?

Indigo (Lisa) shakes his head

Talwin (mharm-95433) Sighs

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's my only magic weapon

[Indigo (Lisa)] Might need it again

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'll be okay

Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods grimly

[Indigo (Lisa)] I just need to stay here for a bit

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] A word of advice my friend?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Huh?

Talwin (mharm-95433) Looking darkly at the pick

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Rid yourself of that as soon as you can

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] trade it

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] burn it

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] bury it

[Master] Body is destroyed when it becomes a shadow, so Indigo was kneeling over Penelope's clothing only

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] but don't keep it

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Gotcha. I thought last week her "soul" remained as shadow but body "lay prone"

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] It will only cause more harm for you

Talwin (mharm-95433) Sighs again

Talwin (mharm-95433) Goes to Penelope's clothes

[Indigo (Lisa)] Mmmmm

Talwin (mharm-95433) Mutters

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I didn’t like you much woman. But you had spunk

Talwin (mharm-95433) Carefully folds clothes

Talwin (mharm-95433) Tears in eyes

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "Mouthy beyond all get out"

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] " I don't know what he saw in you."

Talwin (mharm-95433) Whisper

TMO has joined the game on Fri Dec 13 20:54:26 EST 2019

TMO is receiving the map Base Map...

TMO has received the map Base Map.

Talwin (mharm-95433) "But you were a hell of a companion to him. So I’ll give you that."

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Takes clothes

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] gently places them in the first cloak

[TMO] (hi. sorry I'm late)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] then takes second and wraps again

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hi TMO!)

Talwin (mharm-95433) Hi TMO

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Also stole one of your cloaks

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] sorry

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Summon spell failed. Hi TMO)

[TMO] (sorry)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Reverently takes the cloaks and places them gently beside Indigo. Carefully lays a few leaves on the cloak and then covers with a blanket

[TMO] (wait... Indigo too?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (All good, you can read what you missed later)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you Talwin

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (no.)

TMO is receiving the map forest 4...

TMO has received the map forest 4.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Talwin is trying to help out Indigo. all thi8ngs considered)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Just OOC decision making)

[TMO] (phew! what would we do without our Large Monster Bait?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo is on a time out from killing Penelope)

Talwin (mharm-95433) turns to talk to Indigo again

Talwin (mharm-95433) Pauses

Talwin (mharm-95433) shakes head

Talwin (mharm-95433) walks to elves

Talwin (mharm-95433) there was nothing else he could say

Talwin (mharm-95433) Hail! The Camp!

Talwin (mharm-95433) Cautiously approaches the survivors

[Siward (Master)] Aye

Talwin (mharm-95433) Takes stock

[Siward (Master)] Ye fought well

Talwin (mharm-95433) Expression pained

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Aye

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] we did

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But at what cost?

Talwin (mharm-95433) Glances quickly at Indigo

Talwin (mharm-95433) Sigh

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Is this all that remains of your cohort?

[Siward (Master)] We lost over half of our villages fighters

[Indigo (Lisa)] (there are a LOT of empty clothes on this field)

Talwin (mharm-95433) Expression grim

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I am sorry

Malcolm (Master) nods grimly

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I wish I'd been here

Malcolm (Master) looking around

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] We tracked ten heading to the village. We stopped them

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We had to save the village.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] but

Talwin (mharm-95433) Looking around

Talwin (mharm-95433) sighs

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I wish we could have been here

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Or it would have been more than fighters lost.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Looks toward the men.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "What news have you?"

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "This was...not what we had originally expected to come across. Our journey has been. odd to say the least."

[Malcolm (Master)] Lord MacDuff, you are our only leader

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] This was pure evil

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shudders

Macduff (Master) sighs

[Macduff (Master)] Lady Macbeth is vanquished?

Talwin (mharm-95433) I don't know for certain M'Lord

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I had her restrained, but had to chase the hunting shadows

[Indigo (Lisa)] (tmo - your pcs are there too)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Last I checked, she was in Lady Branwyn’s capable hands

[Macduff (Master)] Donalbain still lives though

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I think since the battle is over, more or less, it's safe to say she is contained

Talwin (mharm-95433) Frowns

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Hm

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Donalbain?

[TMO] (Shur is there?)

[Macduff (Master)] He is Duncan's heir, and the true leader of Cawdor

Macduff (Master) looks over at the Elf that is passed out on the ground

[Macduff (Master)] He should recover

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Then he must be kept safe until Lad Macbeth has perished.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Indeed

Talwin (mharm-95433) We have healers

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Do you think he...

[Macduff (Master)] He is the high priest of Cawdor,

Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods

[Macduff (Master)] I know not of healing but I fear none will help him

[Macduff (Master)] only time

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) nods

Talwin (mharm-95433) Is there anything we can do to assist? I would have to check with My Patron, but I'd be happy to see such evil perish from these lands

Talwin (mharm-95433) This was...unnatural

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (I can’t type worth crap tonight. Sorry guys)

Shurkural (TMO)] (s'okay)

Shurkural (TMO)] (is Shur there? She knows about Lady Macbeth)

[Macduff (Master)] Macbeth must be stopped

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We do as the prophecy says. We get rid of the Macbeths.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (If she runs over, sure!)

[Macduff (Master)] (yes to Shur and Ilero both being there)

Shurkural (TMO)] Yeah. That Lady Macbeth lady is dead over there.

[Macduff (Master)] Our lives are in tatters

[Indigo (Lisa)] (prophecy 1 was about Macduff’s family - does he know where they are?)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (I'll have to BRB. Someone is at door.)

[Macduff (Master)] (they were in Cawdor... he is here... )

Shurkural (TMO)] (Pennywise)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We must focus on the present before we worry about the future.,

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] MacDuff, are you and your family still well?

[Macduff (Master)] (no one but your group knows the prophecies)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so by stopping the shadows we fulfilled prophecy 1 !!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yay us!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (We told him before battle, but yeah, he might not have paid attention...)

[Macduff (Master)] My family is at home

[Macduff (Master)] I hope they are safe

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] There is a prophecy. You and your family must survive if we are to see Macbeth fall.

[Macduff (Master)] You said no Shadows reached the village?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We destroyed the ones heading there.

Ilero (TMO)] None we saw.

[Macduff (Master)] (I keep looking at that 3 clear words, something must be wrong)

Ilero (TMO)] (those are words he says normally. Sorry!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (haha)

Ilero (TMO)] (at least, normally enough to spell correctly

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hye saw none)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (T'ey not be seen)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (better?)

[Macduff (Master)] (grins Lisa is as good as TMO at that)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Lisa speaks Ilero better than TMO right now, huh)

Ilero (TMO)] (trade characters Lisa? ;) )

[Indigo (Lisa)] (nah he is Master TMO!)

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well there's your blackwater solution, Bob. Make Lisa run that adventure ;) )

[Branwyn (TMO)] (Got any magic daggers or spells?)

[Macduff (Master)] (gris)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

Ilero (TMO)] (That's what we do on April 1st. Trade characters)

Ilero (TMO)] (draw from a hat)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that would be fun!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (That's a Wednesday next year...)

[Macduff (Master)] (Oh it would not be one night only.... grins)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Never is...)

Ilero (TMO)] (uhoh... what have I started?)

[Macduff (Master)] (HAH I have a full adventure sketched out to do that, just need the right players to log in consistently for a few weeks)

[Macduff (Master)] (have had it ready for about 8 years)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) to MacDuff, "We visited the witches. They gave us a prophecy. Macbeth fears you. We are to guard your family, but none of woman born shall harm him. We must also have Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane come against him. Does this mean anything to you?"

[Macduff (Master)] (you never saw the KloOge Olympics story arc, where you have to use the various parts of the program to move pas obstacles, those that can do certain things faster earn more points, etc.)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I don't know if this means log out more often or in more often)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol Carissa)

[Macduff (Master)] Macbeth should fear my wrath

[Macduff (Master)] We are in Birnam Wood

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Well, yes, I would think so, but that alone I doubt will slay him.

[Macduff (Master)] I fail to see how that is effective

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] The Guardians. You mentioned them. There must be a way for them to fight with us.

Ilero (TMO)] So does we just go from here to t'ere, or we gots to dig up a tree?

Ilero (TMO)] (missing the druid - could have turned us into trees)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I don't know....I was wondering it was a guardian like Teb is for Divaekah.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Sorry guys. My sister ordered door dash but forgot to change address so it came to my place. Cool. Free food

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] lol

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yum! Share!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] An old weapon or spirit or something....

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Felt bad for her though. Sent her some cash but no food

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (On the guardian topic? I think so. Yep)

[Macduff (Master)] The Guardians is an old tale of protectors, the Reverend Ones

Talwin (mharm-95433) Frowns

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "An Old tale?"

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Who are the Reverend Ones?

[Macduff (Master)] Protectors of Birnam Wood,

[Macduff (Master)] They would awake when called to defend the wood

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] And how do we call them?

[Macduff (Master)] I do not know

Ilero (TMO)] And get t'em go to ... wherever it was.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If Macbeth is not a threat to these woods, I don't know what is.

[Macduff (Master)] I am not skilled in magic

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Is there anyone who would know?

[Macduff (Master)] I do not know how to find or summon them

[Macduff (Master)] Donalbain would

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Or if the dagger channels lady Macbeth, could ask her...)

[Macduff (Master)] but he is not ..... He will recover I hope

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] What about Olan?

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) goes to inspect Donalbain.

[Macduff (Master)] (I will give Shi an Intuition roll on that)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze: INU check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] YAY

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Long as it's not initiation he was trying to spell)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] lol

[Macduff (Master) (to Carissa only)] Shi has an inspiration that this battle space matches what Olan was talking about when he told you about this, perhaps these very trees here are the Reverend Ones, but need magic to find out

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (The ents are going to war...)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hmmm.....well, I feel like that is a hint)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) pulls out the scroll given to her by Olan

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (one sec, rereading Olan's words)

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) walks to where she thinks Olan referred to and reads the scroll

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I swear if she should have done this earlier....damn all things)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oh well yeah that PROBABLY would have been helpful way before at the big fight. FML)

[Master] and as Shi reads the Dispel Magic scroll

[Master] a section of the wood transforms from trees into 100 elven warriors

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Are you shitting me?

Ilero (TMO)] (no, this is better. that would have been 100 more shadows)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Greetings, Great Ancestors of Birnham Wood.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Eh. Not wrong

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Thank you for maybe making me feel only slightly better, TMO)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I agree - this is good!)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well...more to fight Macbeth, too)

[Grey Elf (Master)] hello young sprout

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) bows

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Sorry Carissa Didn't mean it that way. LOL. Just ath I didn't know you had a secret weapon)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (You know. 100 eleven warriors and all that)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Eh, I knew there may be a point to use it...and Bob hinted earlier last week, but oh well, life)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Birnham Woods is in danger on this very night. Will you lend us your aid to take down Macbeth and his followers?

[Grey Elf (Master)] We are the Guardians of Birnham Wood, we shall defeat any that seek to harm it

Ilero (TMO)] Handy scroll.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] As the prophecy says, MacDuff will be key to this task.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) gestures over to MacDuff.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) to Ilero, quietly, "Only works once, and only here, sadly."

[Grey Elf (Master)] We will follow your desires

[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Typical."

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) glances to see if, maybe by chance, any of the Guardians are priests.

Ilero (TMO)] (good thing it wasn't Shur or maybe Mara who read the scroll. ;) )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Dunno if they could have, and it was only Dispel Magic meaning only one we had to worry about reading it was Branwyn ;) )

[Grey Elf (Master)] (All Elven warriors, gleaming armor that causes negatives to attack, all armed with long swords

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] huh

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] MacDuff, are you and your crew well enough to continue the fight underground?

[Macduff (Master)] I am hale and will fight

Macduff (Master) looks around

[Macduff (Master)] Though sad it is that I have no others to lead

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I wish to try to seek out Lady Lennox before we continue onwards to Macbeth.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We will mourn them properly, as great warriors should be, I promise you.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] But we cannot stop until this war is won.

Macduff (Master) nods She has been fair in the past though now this blotch on Glamis' honor

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] I hope she did not deceive me earlier then...

[Macduff (Master)] What treatise did you with her?

[Macduff (Master)] (all in open Common for the humans)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We spoke only briefly in the tunnels, not to be seen by each other. She warned us of the dagger, but could not offer help at the time. She says she could help if we defeated Lady Macbeth, and to approach from the other end of the cavern when we did.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (good to know. I forgot)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (to the common)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] She also claims Macbeth locks himself in high Dunsinane, protected only by his steward Peyton, but they know not Peyton's true form.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] That is all we spoke of.

[Macduff (Master)] I know not of this steward,

[Macduff (Master)] He must be something that Macbeth has hidden from us

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] A drow, a snake, a dragon.... they know not which is his real form.

[Macduff (Master)] how deep does his treachery go, he mutters

Ilero (TMO)] Mebbe snail?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Only one way to find out.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Er...I think snails are only in Ghostwood, but I could be wrong...

[Macduff (Master)] We shall take Birnham wood to High Dunsinane

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] As the prophecy says we should.

Ilero (TMO)] Make sense to me. Somehow...

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) quieter to Talwin, "How is Indigo hold up? I believe we're heading into Glamis here shortly, but if he wants to remain behind... check on him, will you?"

Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods grimly

Talwin (mharm-95433) Strides over to Indigo

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "Indigo?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] Uh-huh?

Talwin (mharm-95433) Pauses. Deep in thought

Lord Tiberius (Master) groans

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "We depart for battle."

Indigo (Lisa) nods

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "I won't insult you by asking if you want to go."

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But

[Indigo (Lisa)] I will come.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I will suggest you take it easy with us. Take some time. Or. Vent your anger on those who caused this

[Indigo (Lisa)] We have to finish this

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Either way will likely help

Talwin (mharm-95433) Smiles softly

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Indeed

Indigo (Lisa) stands

Talwin (mharm-95433) We'll pay proper respects

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] but for now

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] To battle?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes

Talwin (mharm-95433) Grins wickedly

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Let’s kill some minions shall we?

Indigo (Lisa) looks up "Where did all those elves come from?"

Talwin (mharm-95433) Turns and walks back to group

Ilero (TMO)] (violence is a good way to vent the pain)

Talwin (mharm-95433) Call over should

Indigo (Lisa) scratches his head and follows Talwin

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "You'll see. Apparently Shi's been holding out on us. "

Talwin (mharm-95433) Snorts with Laughter

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Feeling better, darling? Time to go again.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Did we save them?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I fell down I guess

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Hit my head on something

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes we did wonderfully

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Good

Lord Tiberius (Master) YAWNS

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm sorry. I couldn't see you in the shadows

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Time for us to go to the village and sleep

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But now we must go underground

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh no!

Lord Tiberius (Master) blinks

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] OH?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There is more fighting yet this night

Lord Tiberius (Master) looks up at Branwyn

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I love you

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "I love you too"

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] We get to go into a dungeon and fight now?

Lord Tiberius (Master) gets up more rapidly

Lord Tiberius (Master) STRETCHES

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This time I think we can let the elves takes the lead

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] AWWWWWWWW

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] OH

Lord Tiberius (Master) shrinks

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They know where they're going.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] At least I hope so

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Well they did not do much last time

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Maybe this time we can take the lead and

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] How hard could it be?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Go down a tunnel

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Indigo and Ilero can take the lead they are sneaky

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] someone was talking Elven before right?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] or did I dream that?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No Shi and the elves were making arrangements

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So we will follow them

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Oh good

Branwyn (Lisa) holds out her hand help him up

Lord Tiberius (Master) PULLS her down

[Branwyn (Lisa)] NO!

Lord Tiberius (Master) kisses her

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Fight now. Love later.

Branwyn (Lisa) struggles to get up

Lord Tiberius (Master) grins, we could try the other way

[Branwyn (Lisa)] UP!

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) lightly clears her thought before addressing the group, "If anyone is in desperate need for healing or strength, I have a spell or two I can spare. Or we can hope Lady Lennox can help."

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I am I am

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] you do that to me

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] grins

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Hey all. I'm having a ton of fun, but I'll give it another 10 to 15 but I’m falling asleep at my desk. Been a hell of a long day :) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (don't want to take your spells in the epic battle)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (if someone drops they may need it more)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (That's fair, but the keep the Restore Strength spell in mind before we do final attack :) )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (She has all 5 of her 2nd level slots still available)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (think Shur was down the most STR)

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero is low, but also not much use, so I wouldn't spend anything on him. He's got enough to stealth)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Indigo is at 7)

Ilero (TMO)] (yes, she was very low)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yes was thinking maybe Shur, didn't know what Indigo was at)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so STR - for Shur I would say)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze casts a spell against : Restore Strength: Lost strength is restored.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] You're looking... not great, Shur. Here.

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

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Icons too tiny to find her to target, but that's for her)

Shurkural (TMO)] I'm too tired to get upset at that.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) smiles

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Unless anyone has anything else left to do....to the tunnels?

Shurkural (TMO)] (that restores all her lost STR?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how long is it going to take to march 110 people down a tunnel? hope they are very wide)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yes)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well thinking maybe just a few at first, Shi leading with maybe a warrior or two to protect her... because dunno if Lennox will take kindly to otherwise)

Shurkural (TMO) (to GM only)] Character sheet for [Shurkural]] modified: Temporary Modifiers - STR: (STM) : CHANGED: 0 (-10).

[Master] When you were in them before it was 3 people wide

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (MacDuff should probably come up front, too)

Shurkural (TMO) (to GM only)] Character sheet for [Shurkural]] modified: Temporary Modifiers - STR: (STM) : CHANGED: null (0).

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (makes sense)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (But....yeah, I dunno how you guys want to situation yourselves)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (All the rest of the warriors last, I'd think? Or want to use them so they don't notice you aren't elves? :) )

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'll go around the middle since I’m logging soon. That way my player isn't in the way

Shurkural (TMO)] Want hye front or back?

Shurkural (TMO)] (wrong voice)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Hahaha)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] lol

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Hang out for just a bit more please Michael

Ilero (TMO)] Want hye front or back?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] ok

[Master] after you see Glamis then feel free to log out

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I’m just going to be a little quiet ok?

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Close to the front. You can hear well, but I don't know if Lady Lennox will speak with you present.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Food coma)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we'll be wherever you want us)

Ilero (TMO)] (Shi is in charge of the elves, so I suspect her opinions matter most. ;) )

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (How about middle? Tiberius won't settle for back ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sounds good)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I mean.... don't know how much it'll matter, rereading this)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (we shall not show ourselves to halflings and humans trailing behind an Elf)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I'm hoping more she won't notice you and will talk. Don't know if it does any better for you to be up front when you can't speak Elvish)

[Master] So you have your group heading into the cave

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (bran's wearing dead lady MacB's shell too. That could go over well or very badly)

[Master] what are you doing with Lady Macbeth’s body?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is there a curb we can kick her too?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (BURN THE WITCH! Or something, I dunno)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (put her head on a pike and march it to Glamis)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (A storm drain to stuff her down?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (outside the tunnel - maybe a wolf will eat her)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (don't really want to carry her around underground - does anyone?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Not in the least)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] We all float down here Carissa

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so pull her aside outside the cave entrance)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] MacDuff, what do you wish to do with the body of Lady Macbeth? It seems... wrong to let her remains be buried or burned upside...or to let her have any peaceful rest.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (lol Michael)

Ilero (TMO)] (seen the Joker vs Pennywise ERB Michael?)

[Macduff (Master)] We should give it to her people to do what they wish with it

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (ERB... haven't watched one of those in a long time)

Ilero (TMO)] Should we have couple elves carry her?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (No. But I really want to now)

[Macduff (Master)] They will know we were just

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] That is fair, I suppose.

Ilero (TMO)] (yes, yes you do.)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Reverend Ones, will one or two of you carry this body?

Ilero (TMO)] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2WxaeIJcqY)

[Grey Elf (Master)] We shall bear the body

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] My gratitude.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] MacDuff, if you and a couple of the Reverend Ones would, let us lead the party down the tunnels. Perhaps Lady Lennox will speak with us.

[Master] Near an intersection of passages is a drow encampment, with 30 or so dark elves ready for battle. Three drow lords and a lady are talking at the front of the group.

"What does the tyrant?" asks a lord wearing black robes over his chain mail.

Another in like garb answers "Great Dunsinane he strongly fortifies. Some say he's mad; others who do not hate him, do call it valiant fury; but all concur that he cannot buckle his evil cause within the belt of goodness."

The third lord, this one in black leather, agrees. "Now he feels his secret murders sticking on his hands. Those he commands move only in command, not in love. Now he feels his title hang loose about him' like a giant s robe upon a dwarvish thief. What say you, Lady?"

The woman, who has bright silver hair and wears white robes, contemplates the question for a moment, then says, "I say only that things have been strangely borne." The drow return to silent thought.

Ilero (TMO)] (they've been smoking something)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] LOL

[Lady Lenox (Master)] Who approaches?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (BTW that was awesome TMO. Adding to my favorite ERP)

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

[Lady Lenox (Master)] what of the battle field?

[Macduff (Master)] Lady Macbeth has met her end

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Lady Macbeth is dead. Great Birnham Woods rises this night. The battlefield is cleared.

[Macduff (Master)] Birnham has come for Dunsinane

[Lady Lenox (Master)] Lord Macduff,

[Lady Lenox (Master)] we are at an impasse

[Lady Lenox (Master)] Lord Macbeth is secure in High Dunsinane

[Macduff (Master)] Then we shall needs to meet him there

[Lady Lenox (Master)] We see your anger, yet cannot accede to it

[Macduff (Master)] how shall we breach this impasse?

[Macduff (Master)] We must meet justice to Lord Macbeth

[Lady Lenox (Master)] we must defend our families and Glamis

[Lady Lenox (Master)] (Shi is translating this for everyone? comments ideas?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Uhh yes! Sure!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (shell time?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (On who?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (everyone?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oh....well yeah, I forgot it can affect everyone)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (have you asked for lady Lennox yet?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (did I miss that?)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Is Lady Lennox here?

[Lady Lennox (Master)] (It is her speaking)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Sigh... that's what I worried about)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (really? she said she would help!)

Ilero (TMO)] (ERB released the audio for the next battle, but not going to listen to it. going to wait for video. Thanos vs J. Robert Oppenheimer)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (lol)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We have defeated Lady Macbeth, Lady Lennox. You said you could help if we did. We brought her body to do as you wish with it.

[Lady Lennox (Master)] (you are bringing an army into the village to slaughter everyone?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (also makes the charm not working on the lady)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (OH! Then just a misunderstanding)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We only wish to remove Macbeth from what is not his rightful position. No harm will come to your families. Only to him.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I'm okay if it's a simpler problem, lol)

[Lady Lennox (Master)] it is his rightful position

[Lady Lennox (Master)] he has abused his power

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Tsk, then he should not hold such a position anymore.

[Lady Lennox (Master)] ((Hmmmmm where have I heard that lately??? ))

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Don't make me start drinking again)

Ilero (TMO)] (Lords and Lordettes, no doubt. :P )

[Lady Lennox (Master)] (I am good at planning but I could never have set this up to occur in the real world and the game.... sorry)

[Lady Lennox (Master)] (and LOL at TMO)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] If peace is to return to Glamis and Cawdor, Macbeth must be dealt with.

[Lady Lennox (Master)] I will confer

[Lady Lennox (Master)] muttering with the group behind her

[Master] Time of Day: 01:01 AM. Day 13 Ced ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 13th, 348 SKR.

[Master] Time of Day: 01:16 AM. Day 13 Ced ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 13th, 348 SKR.

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) bites her tongue as she again glares in Ilero's direction

Lady Lennox (Master) she returns to your group

[Lady Lennox (Master)] you shall be free to enter the village but not enter any house other than High Dunsinane

[Ilero]] (TMO) raises an eyebrow and looks back at her.

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] We have no reason to enter any other house. We can agree to that.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Looks back and forth

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] As long as Macbeth still remains in High Dunsinane.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Uh Shi? I don't think Ilero is going to rob the town blind or anything?

Shi'Nynze (Carissa) slightly annoyed muttered, "No, that is not....it is something private. Do not worry about it."

Talwin (mharm-95433) Raises eyebrows

Ilero (TMO)] (hey, if she learned even a little then it was worth it. ;) )

Talwin (mharm-95433) Oookay

[Master] Time of Day: 01:31 AM. Day 13 Ced ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 13th, 348 SKR.

[Master] Time of Day: 01:46 AM. Day 13 Ced ___ tre, Man {Early Spring} 13th, 348 SKR.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Purses lips but doesn't say anything.

[Master] You travel down the tunnels come to the crossing and head deeper into Glamis

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well she's trying diplomacy with Drow and hasn't pulled out her bow, so win?)

[Master] as you enter from this side you can see the two ziggurats rising from the cavern floor

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

Carissa is receiving the map Glamis...

[Master] The other Drow have gone forward first to their own homes

Carissa has received the map Glamis.

Lisa is receiving the map Glamis...

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Oooh look at all that....darkness. Fitting)

Lisa has received the map Glamis.

[Master] so Indigo is your light source right now

TMO is receiving the map Glamis...

TMO has received the map Glamis.

[Master] unless you have other ideas

Ilero (TMO)] (not seeing anything is about it)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Is Indigo the only one with a source of continual light?)

Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero lost his)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Ahh that's who I'm thinking of)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Can the infravision people see without?)

[Master] only if they are ahead of the one's with the light source and do not look back

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (unless Shur has one too)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Well....that's what Shi will do, at least)

[Master] go move out there Elf

Ilero (TMO)] (Shur does not)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze moved 69'05".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not in the pit pls)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] Shi'Nynze moved 10'07".

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (I mean....not TOO far from the party or into the pit)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (or the party pit)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Right. This party isn't the pits)

[Master] SO let me set the scene for you

[Master] Illuminated by the glint of fireflies in the cave walls, Glamis is shrouded in sinister webs that extend 100' from the top to the bottom of the cave. Four ziggurats extend from the cave floor, apparently built around stalactites that protrude through the tops of the ziggurats. An inverted ziggurat is built into the ceiling. Coiled around the downward point of this ceiling structure is a purple, serpentine creature.

Ilero (TMO)] (homey)

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (Yes, I did Google ziggurat)

[Master] grins

[Master] and I think that this is where we should pause for the night In Character

[Master] now that you know the layout of your final encounter

[Shi'Nynze (Carissa)] (That's Peyton, isn't it. Ugh)

[Master] you can look at maps, think of ideas, contemplate how to handle this

[Carissa] Also was Lady Lennox only help to let us inside Glamis? Stingy Drow.

[Master] before whoever is in High Dunsinane sees you arrive down below

Ilero (TMO)] (Drow are known for their generosity)

[Carissa] I know, right?

Carissa is receiving the map Glamis...

Carissa has received the map Glamis.

[Master] Lord Tiberius moved 1'02".

[Master] I put Tiberius on the side view map so it is easier for you to flip back and forth as you wish

[Carissa] So....battling in the dark. Fun times.

[Master] and up in the air

[Master] with a dragon? waiting to stop you from coming up

[Carissa] Did all the Drow disappear into their houses?

[Master] yes

[Lisa] we have the glow of the fireflies

[Carissa] A continual light spell can be used, then.

[Master] blinking in and out

[Master] a Drow Rave Party

[TMO] that stalactite appears hollow on the side map

[Carissa] lol

[Master] yes to TMO the ziggurat is built around it

[TMO] earthquake spell anyone?

[Carissa] We could also do Faerie Fire if it can be cast on a dragon. So we can see it if it moves.

[TMO] the bane of all underground settlements

Lisa is receiving the map Glamis...

Lisa has received the map Glamis.

[Carissa] (and if can be used underground...doesn't say no)

[Master] Illuminated by the glint of fireflies in the cave walls, Glamis is shrouded in sinister webs that extend 100' from the top to the bottom of the cave. Four ziggurats extend from the cave floor, apparently built around stalactites that protrude through the tops of the ziggurats. An inverted ziggurat is built into the ceiling. Coiled around the downward point of this ceiling structure is a purple, serpentine creature.

[TMO] k, well, point one: Dragon. Point two: spell depletion.

[Lisa] no clue what purple dragons do

[TMO] we don't have much magic left

[Carissa] I know little about dragons.

[Lisa] we have the potion chest

[Carissa] Shi still has a few spells left. She saved most for this.

[Carissa] Since she had none useful against Shadows.

[TMO] purple is a non-standard color. depending on Bob's source, could be several things, or homemade

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] So about that dagger...?

[Lisa] bran's spells that are left mostly require saves

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (I'm the devil on Lisa's left shoulder. Carissa is the angel on her right. Teehee)

[Carissa] (lol)

[Lisa] she could try to blind it but gets a save

[Master] This is where you will pick up next week, the attack on High Dunsinane

[Master] so you have time to plan

[TMO] OH

[Carissa] I'm still stuck on trying to make sure everyone can see. Faerie Fire doesn't have a save that I can see.

[TMO] this is HIGH Dunsinane? Our mistake. We meant LOW Dunsinane

[Carissa] Continual Light as well, but I don't think the Drow would appreciate it.

[Master] I will point out, getting people UP there might be something to consider also

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Ok. So we have a week to prepare for a dragon encounter. Bob do you have any suggestions on where to look or Tips that you think would benefit us? I know you can't give us everything, but someone almost always dies when a dragon is involved.

[Lisa] dragons have resistance to magic will have a lower bar to make their saves

[Lisa] if only Miranda was not dead

[Carissa] Can dragons save against spells that don't have saves? I know little to nothing about dragons.

[Lisa] no

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] They suck Carissa

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] A lot

[Lisa] no save - they take it like anyone else

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Breath weapons are horrible

[Master] they might have Magic Resistance, which means you have to breach that FIRST before figuring out if a spell gets a save

[Carissa] Shi has a spell that makes her fly...but only her and she definitely doesn't have strength to carry anyone.

[Carissa] Well...that's good to know. So maybe continual light is a better idea on that end.

[Lisa] ok that on top of the magic

[Lisa] is it a male dragon? :)

[Master] grins

[Lisa] Peyton goes both ways I think

[Lisa] could be either

[Lisa] ?

[TMO] polymorph other

[Master] at this point you do not know

[Lisa] they get a save

[Carissa] Well aren't stewards males and stewardesses female...?

[Carissa] Also Lady Lennox said HIM so....

[TMO] might not make it, and would make for a short fight

[Master] I can say that your Reverend Ones only have magical long swords

[Carissa] "We know not which is real, but HIS wyrm form cautions us to hold what distance our wisdom can provide"

[Lisa] okay - well we could see about a charm

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I really really wish Talwin could be of more use. We'll have to see what I can do to help

[Carissa] He has STR. How's his rock climbing skills? :)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I dunno never tried

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Ilero is pretty good at climbing...sometimes :)

[TMO] and what exactly is he going to do against a dragon by himself?

[Carissa] lol

[Lisa] (we have 2 potions of climbing)

[Master] There are spider webs all over

[Carissa] Too bad soften earth is a limited area...

[Master] imagine that Lisa

[Carissa] Is High Dunsaine the only place built like this?

[Lisa] imagine spider webs all over? yuck

[Master] yeap the other four are on the ground and rise up

[Lisa] but also want to set them on fire

[Carissa] Darn. I was hoping they weren't and we saw how the other Drow entered their home....

Carissa is receiving the map Dunsinane side view...

Carissa has received the map Dunsinane side view.

[Carissa] My mind still isn't quite making sense of this map.

[Lisa] I Googled wyrm and wished I had not

[Carissa] ....now I need to know why before I Google it.

[Master] scale is correct now

[Master] on both maps of 10 foot per square

[Lisa] okay we give Talwin the climbing potion and the cordial of kindness and have him pour it down hiswyrm throat

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Done

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] LOL

[Carissa] It's not the scale, it's the shading, I guess. What's empty space and what's the place?

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] Or... what's solid and what's not?

[TMO] climbing the walls bad idea

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] How about Potion of Dungeons and Dragons 2.0 "Wish"

[Lisa] but dragons are sentient and can be talked to

[TMO] can we see what's in the Pit?

[Lisa] don't know if this one only speaks elvish though

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Hm. From what I understand though, this Dragon will be a loyalist

[Master] Does that help Carissa?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Protects Macbeth from all accounts

[Carissa] Kind of....

[Lisa] we don't have to say we want to kill him

[Lisa] just have a chat

[Lisa] we have the wife's body still

[Carissa] Okay, yes. Had to reread description. So Tiberius is between the ziggies?

[Lisa] Macbeth knows the prophecies

[Master] yes to Tiberius

[Lisa] we can give him a prophecy status report

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] haha in a way yeah I guess

[Carissa] Ahh and the one above his head is Macbeth’s ziggy. Okay, much better, thank you.

[Lisa] you know guy the only one that hasn't come true is the one that says you get killed ...

[Carissa] Branwyn is good at dragon negotiation, right? Promise not to kill it if she gets it to let us in.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Uh. Well. I’d die long before I hurt the thing. So...Yeah. I'm cool with Bran talking first :O

[Lisa] I don't think this wyrm is going to be worried he's gonna get killed

[Master] so everyone can see the modified map

[TMO] ignoring the dragon, how do we get up to the ceiling ziggurat?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Spider webs, potion of climbing...believe in yourself?

[Carissa] Well if we befriend the dragon, it can get us up there. ;)

[TMO] point

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] HAHA

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Goodness

[Carissa] Spider friends???

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'm loopy at the moment

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Can I see you all next week?

[Lisa] of course

[Master] certainly Michael

[Master] and check the site over the week

[Lisa] mull the problem over the week

[Carissa] Yep. Night Michael!

[Lisa] dream of dragons

[Master] I think there might be ideas batted around there

[Lisa] Goodnight!

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Love you all haha. I'll check the site to see our options. Great to see you TMO! And no dreaming of dragons. :(

[Carissa] No, dream of a solution!

mharm-95433 has left the game on Fri Dec 13 22:53:39 EST 2019

[TMO] Hi! We're the Dragonslayers. Good Wyrm, have you seen any dragons around here?

[Carissa] How abouts we drown it in mud??

[Carissa] The depth of the mud created cannot exceed10 feet. Creatures unable to levitate, fly, or otherwise free themselves from the mud sink at the rate of 1/3 of their height per round and eventually suffocate, save for lightweight creatures that could normally pass across such ground.

[TMO] and we have 100 Reverend Ones too

[Carissa] Just turn the 180 cft into mud? That's how big the house is, right? Right....

[TMO] build a pyramid by standing on each other’s shoulders?

[Carissa] Also true.

[Carissa] Or can Tiberius toss them? Elves aren't heavy.

[Carissa] Elven cannonballs.

[TMO] 70' in the air??

[Carissa] He's strong.

[Carissa] I have faith.

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] And an inability to calculate things quickly or correctly.

[Lisa] lol

[Master] 80 feet on a side square for the largest level

[Master] so 6,400 square feet

[Carissa] Ooh so Shi could melt two small parts on the side!

[Lisa] (the door opens and Macbeth has to be able to get out - we just need the door open and have the ladder lowered

[Carissa] I don't know it it helps if it's vertical, but Shi can create a fancy bridge maybe.

[Lisa] *knock knock*

[Carissa] Brings me back to childhood.... no girls allowed in the treehouse. Then they pulled the ladder back up :(

[Lisa] it's just the wyrm on the outside and Macbeth on the inside right?

[Lisa] no armies up there

[Master] At this point we don't know

[TMO] so why the elves then?

[Carissa] That is what Lady Lennox says, but who knows if she's right.

[TMO] we need a Portal Gun

[Carissa] "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"

[Carissa] Well if you plant a tree up there....

[Carissa] And one down here...

[TMO] can we turn a Reverend One back into a tree?

[Carissa] In other news, how did I miss the spell where Shi can have a pet flame??? Saving that for later.

[Lisa] lol

[TMO] so how does Macbeth get in and out?

[Carissa] Also would have been helpful at the battle.... goodness.

[TMO] levitation power maybe?

[Lisa] by wyrm back?

[Carissa] Wyrm rider.

[TMO] well, someone had to build that in the first place, unless the dragon carried entire loads of stone blocks up there

[Carissa] Maybe one of the dwarves has an idea. They probably build weird things like that? Maybe?

[Lisa] we have 2 guys - mostly invincible

[Lisa] I'm not sure going in guns blazing from the get go is going to be effective

[TMO] any ways to make the dragon angry enough to come down?

[Master] chuckles

[Carissa] Tell it a Yo Mama joke.

[Lisa] they aren't scared but we could get it angry enough to smite us

[TMO] is ESP two-way communication?

[Lisa] this arrogance that we can't kill them might work to our advantage

[Carissa] Greetings, Macbeth! I am of woman born and therefore of no concern of yours. Might we sit for some tea?

[Carissa] I still think trying to talk with Peyton is a good start. I don't know how else to get up there.

[Carissa] Unless there's a way to make it come crashing down...

[TMO] we have two potions of ESP. if that's two-way communication, and range isn't too far...

[Lisa] no tmo - esp lets you read them but not talk

[TMO] well, might be a start, at least.

[Carissa] Speaking of, someone might be reading our minds and we need to remember that random hint. For some reason.

[Lisa] online desc says same as mage spell which I just looked up

[TMO] drink potion, then have someone shout up "Hey, Peyton! Whatever you do, don't think of how someone gets up there or any weaknesses you have!"

[Carissa] lol

[TMO] I agree, trying to talk first is key

[TMO] if not, then we need to figure out how to get dragon down onto the ground in reach of a bunch of magic elven swords

[Carissa] Oh wait, I can make one person "fly"

[Carissa] This spell enables a creature, which can be as big as the largest giant, to tread upon airas if it were walking on solid ground. Moving upward is similar to walking up a hill. A maximum upward angle of 45 degrees is possible at one-half the creature’s movement rate, as is a maximum downward angle of 45 degrees at the normal movement rate.

[Carissa] Not necessarily helpful, but good to know.

[TMO] throw a potion of Gaseous Form into its mouth

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] What if it spits it back at us?

[TMO] catch it and throw it back. hot potato

[Lisa] then we slide under a crack in the bricks ...

[Carissa] lol

[Lisa] wait - give it to Macduff and let him sneak in

[TMO] doesn't it last an hour?

[Lisa] we busy Peyton with chitter chatter while we wait for Macduff to turn back to elf

[Carissa] I'm not good at small talk for that long.

[Lisa] lol

[TMO] Ilero is the master. Right?

[TMO] has he said what's in the Pit?

[TMO] hopefully an elevator platform

[Carissa] Or a bomb.

[Master] At this point we don't know

[TMO] Purple Dragon Magnet

[Carissa] Dead Macbeth.

[Master] The Run. The central area of Glamis is a racetrack around a fire pit. The pit's walls are walls of iron and every night, residents tell stories at communal meals. Twice a month, the priestesses of Glamis hold a Circle of Song, a religious storytelling where worshippers sing and dance in a circle. This pattern has been disrupted of late.

[Lisa] time for Shur to don her dancing boots

[Carissa] Pet fire!!

[TMO] lol

[Master] The inverted ziggurat is made of reinforced stone embedded deep in the ceiling. The stalactite in the center is surrounded by construction. The outside balconies allow uninterrupted walking around each of the four levels; the balconies are also connected by ropes. On each of the balconies are arrow slits, in which you can see haze but no light. There do not appear to be any doors.

[Master] Those are the descriptions I will repeat next week when you start to move through the area

[Carissa] Okay but we saw them enter their homes somehow...

[TMO] the lower ziggurats

[TMO] can just walk in those

[Carissa] Ack, sorry. I read that as plural and thought it was a reference to all.

[Lisa] we don't know if this thing speaks anything but elvish though

[Carissa] Very true.

[TMO] yell at it in dwarven

[Lisa] could be it's Shi and Macduff as the only ones that could be talking

[Lisa] does the dagger speak elvish?

[Master] yes

[Lisa] even though Branwyn doesn't -interesting

[TMO] wonder if the dragon would get upset seeing the dagger in someone else's hands?

[Lisa] or the shell

[Lisa] that's why talking could be interesting

[Lisa] do you know what's been happening out there?

[Lisa] or they know and we are beyond talking

[Lisa] who knows

[TMO] arrow + critical hit= hit the brain through an eyeball?

[Lisa] sure - Shi roll that please :)

[Lisa] or Shur

[TMO] summon 100 shadows and send them after the dragon

[Carissa] (d20) [1d20=13] 13

[Lisa] anyone

[Carissa] (d20) [1d20=8] 8

[Carissa] (d20) [1d20=7] 7

[Carissa] (d20) [1d20=11] 11

[Carissa] (d20) [1d20=10] 10

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

[Carissa] ....I'll get there eventually.

[Carissa] (d20) [1d20=2] 2

[Carissa] Close! Just add a zero!

[Lisa] too bad the wyrm doesn't have hands

[Lisa] he grabs the blade and gets 224 hp dmg

[Lisa] but no hands no grabs

[TMO] lo

[Master] drow form

[TMO] I thought that was only if you're not evil

[TMO] betcha he's evil

[Lisa] lol

[Lisa] think it is a taking it away thing

[TMO] g'night

[TMO] thanks for the game, sorry I was late

[Master] you can stay on

[Master] just picking a spot to save at

[Lisa] Think I need to move

[Carissa] Yeah, same. My brain is mostly done now.

[Lisa] dagger cuts through structures

[Lisa] just need to get there

[Master] sorry what was that Lisa?

[Carissa] How good is she at throwing daggers?

[Lisa] ummm …

[Lisa] not wanting to let that loose

[Carissa] Well if Branwyn wants to fly up there and cut the place open...

[Carissa] That said, if dagger wasn't supposed to exist, there has to be another solution.

[Lisa] dagger absorbs all magical attacks

[Carissa] Dagger cuts through structures

[Master] Ok so saving the chat from here

[Master] &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
