[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

Carissa is receiving the map Base Map...
Carissa has received the map Base Map.
[Master] Hello there
[Carissa] Hello! Ghost edit for what?
[Master] to compare those pages for ecological consistency
[Master] consistency
[Carissa] Ahh got it. Valoris should be fine, but will double check it, too.
[Master] I am thinking of a bit of a story for Kel
Ryan has joined the game on Fri Jan 31 19:04:04 EST 2020

Ryan has received the map Base Map.
[Master] in Valoris
[Master] and Hello Ryan
[Carissa] Old growth forest, yep. Swamps and them often go together.
[Ryan] Hello
[Master] as we develop the Craniate Wastes
[Master] I made sure the pages for Gnomes and Goblins are updated
[Carissa] Ahhahaha poor, poor Kel. Written quite a bit of Keerla and Shi... they have opinions on him :)
[Master] How was your week Ryan?
[Carissa] Hi Ryan!
[Master] grins, good Carissa
[Master] I will update the retired characters page too
[Master] or create a formal one as the case may be
[Ryan] Tiring *grin*
[Master] I have been working on geography stuff this week
[Master] making sure all the bits and pieces link to each other and have rough details that people can play with
[Carissa] Related, because geography and travel doesn't compute. In location terms, how many days in each per travel would Shi be in? Like X days before she's out of the woods into Gold Hills (which is what, exactly?). Then how many days before Lorien Woods... etc., etc.. Trying to figure out when I'd fit in John and TMO's suggestions. And where.

Lisa has received the map Base Map.
[Carissa] Hi Lisa!
[Ryan] Hello
[Lisa] Hello everyone! :)
[Master] I can look those up for you later Carissa but you can just make it fit story wise as those details are not a key part of the story, the events are not the day of
[Master] I have one more key town to create/make a page for
[Carissa] Please and thank you. And yes, I know, but I'm trying to post it chronologically, or close to, for those parts.
Lisa is receiving the map Dragon Fen farmlands...
Lisa has received the map Dragon Fen farmlands.
[Master] then 90 percent of the areas that the group needs to think about for Dragon Fen are done
Ryan is receiving the map Dragon Fen farmlands...
Ryan has received the map Dragon Fen farmlands.
[Carissa] What's the last 10?
[Master] all the roads, locations, etc. from Jistille to Dragon Fen to Loosend as you travel there occasionally and the surrounding Estates
[Master] grins stuff the characters need to explore and find during story arcs
Carissa is receiving the map Skull Church in relation to Dragon Fen...
Carissa has received the map Skull Church in relation to Dragon Fen.
[Carissa] Ah of course. Silly me.
[Master] and yes Carissa that is the map that ties most of it together
[Master] there is a new road I discovered that is not on that map
[Master] the Moss Road
[Carissa] Good moss or bad?
[Master] that leads to the Jistille Estates from Redfern Lake
[Master] it goes along the southern edge of the Valoris Wood
[Master] now there is a Queen in Jistille the old path that Branwyn first took to get there has become a more well-traveled road
[Master] also thank you Ryan for being here
[Lisa] less ants?
[Master] less ants, the trolls are gone
[Master] the Hill Giants moved east on the other side of Jistille
[Ryan] I am back at the keyboard.
TMO has joined the game on Fri Jan 31 19:12:55 EST 2020
TMO is receiving the map Base Map...
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] No problem. An evening of fun is always welcome.
TMO has received the map Base Map.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Hello, TMO!
[Master] I am working on a town that the last time you actually spend time interacting with was in 2014
[Carissa] Hi TMO!
[Master] Hello TMO
[TMO] hiya
[Lisa] Hi TMO!
[Carissa] An evening of fun is much preferred to an evening of death.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Why not both?
[Carissa] Too much death lately. I'm good skipping it.,
[Carissa] It gets... deathly boring.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] BOB, if you could get something to flash across the screen when someone is about to die, it would give Carissa a chance to avert her eyes
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] WARNING: DEATH MAY BE IMMINENT.
[Lisa] lol
[Carissa] LOL
[Master] chuckles
[Master] How about something like this?
[Master] Combat has begun!
[Master] ROUND: 0
[Master] Combat has finished.
[Carissa] DEATH!!
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] ARGHLGHLUG
[Carissa] How do avert my ears?
[Master] cotton
[Master] beeswax
[Carissa] Of course, of course. Let me grab some out of the beehive.
[Master] As I was mentioning earlier I have two pages I am working on, one for a town you last visited in 2014 game year 343 so 5 years ago at least no matter which way you look at it
[Master] and the Retired Character page
[Master] for Mario, TMO, John, etc.
[Master] and Michael
[Master] but for now I am ready as you are starting out
[Master] Ryan missed his Mist checks
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] All of them? I thought all I did was miss
[Carissa] All you do is miss, miss, miss.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] That might have been more clever if I had actually typed miss as 'mist' like I intended
[Carissa] (Shoot what's the real name of that song?)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] All you do is win, win, win?
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Drillian-TheMist
[Lisa] I'm kinda tired of winning
[Carissa] (Ahh yep, that's it. Why's it stuck in my head?)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] You could create a scrappy kobold creature that seeks to undermine Branwyn, also played by yourself
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] That way, no matter how it goes, you lose
[Carissa] That sounds highly entertaining.
[Lisa] LOL
[Master] LOL
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] The ultimate roleplaying challenge. Do you drink the wine that you just poisoned thirty minutes ago?
[Carissa] And did you fake yourself out as you expected it?
[Lisa] would be a battle of wits
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Lisa: You chose wrong.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Lisa: No, you only think I chose wrong. That's why it was so funny
[Carissa] (Don't bring Tiberius, he'll be unarmed)
[Lisa] Hah!
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Not to be too personal, but do you happen to be Sicilian, Lisa? If so, this game of wits is going to be epic.
[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_eZmEiyTo0
[Lisa] No but I have inadvertently gotten involved in a land war is Asia if that helps
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Everyone in that scene is played by Lisa, including the cups
[Lisa] LOL
[Carissa] Beauty and the Beast now?
[Master] warm smile I can make a story arc out of that Carissa
[Carissa] I am shocked. Shocked, I say. That you could. ;)
[Lisa] 2014 huh
[Master] grins Lisa's mind is spinning to previous travels
[Carissa] (I'm guessing Ponce...personally...)
[Lisa] That was either Skull Church, Chandler Cowles Temple or back to Dryads Lair
[TMO] we've been to 2 of those since 2014
[Carissa] Cowles has a temple?
[Master] Lisa has a nice thought process, TMO has a very good point, Carissa jumps to an obscure location and Ryan is just sitting in bemusement at all of this
[Lisa] we could go back to the bar with the dwarf lady with a wooden leg so Skarp can find his soulmate
[Carissa] YES
[Master] what town would that be Carissa? or Lisa?
[Lisa] that was a big deal - never seen a female dwarf before
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Only if it is made out of oak
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Skarp has standards.
[Carissa] It's like you already know I'm scowering chats...
[Lisa] was the town we left Jilly and the wagon
[Lisa] begins with a P maybe?
[Lisa] grrr
[Lisa] nowhere we had to buy a wagon since Red Cloak stole ours
[Carissa] Who met the dwarf? Indigo or Branwyn?
[Lisa] another dread wagon adventure
[Lisa] Indigo
[Master] THIS is why we have a chat archive
[Lisa] QuiFon was there
[Master] brb
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Lisa] Indigo kept trying to get Qui to talk to her
[Carissa] Yeah I keep seeing everyone surprised by Qui being a dwarf... but must mean I'm closer
[Lisa] She had a Branwyn adventure but we couldn't do it because of Dryads Lair
[Lisa] try dwarf and "wooden leg"
[Lisa] can't be that many hits
[Carissa] Yeah I see they did two different things which is why I asked. To know which story arc to look at :)
[Lisa] Long Live the King
[Carissa] Yup that's where I am
[Lisa] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Feb0814
JohnA has joined the game on Fri Jan 31 19:38:55 EST 2020
JohnA is receiving the map Base Map...
JohnA has received the map Base Map.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Hi, John
[Carissa] Ahh I was working the wrong way, just found Indigo mentioning the lady dwarf
[Lisa] That does not get me the town
[Lisa] Just the leg :)
[Lisa] Hi John!
[JohnA] hello all
[TMO] wilkommen
[Lisa] Primsten?
[Carissa] Somewhere in the hills of southwest Drillian...
Lisa waits for her 10 xp
[Lisa] or I'm totally wrong :)
[Lisa] barking up the wrong tree
[Carissa] LOL
[Carissa] Unrelated, this quote still seems relevant:
[Carissa] [TMO] Hmm. Haven't had any interaction with the Guild at all. [TMO] Don't know how it functions in Drillian [Master] you ARE the guild!!!!!
[TMO] what can I say? ;)
[Lisa] You ARE the Brute Squad!
[Carissa] LOL
[Carissa] Okay still thinking Ponce was the hamlet Indigo went to and wasn't confusing it was Branwyn's adventures...
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] lol
[Carissa] Well no you went through Ponce...and then south and into the hills.
[Carissa] Man I really appreciate formatted chats when looking through old ones!
[Lisa] that was a long trip
[Lisa] lol
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Carissa] Yeah seems so!
[TMO] I'm very glad I set up the formatting, and I’m even *more* glad that Lisa is willing to do the work to actually apply it! :D
[Master] smile thank you to TMO for the idea and to Lisa for all that work on formatting
[Carissa] Yay team work!
[Master] and Hello John
[Master] and you have the right story arc but the wrong town
[Master] but you will find out when the page appears
[TMO] Pooterville
[Master] right now the key is moving deeper into the Mist
[Master] and I never saw Ryan
[Master] roll for Skarp
[Carissa] Bah
[Master] and did John roll for Hoffman?
[Master] I think he logged out before hand
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (roll 1d20?)
[Lisa] HEL check
[Master] is on The Mist check, grins
[Carissa] He did not roll as yes he did log out before that
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Drillian-TheMist
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Skarphedin: HEL check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (That's a good sign, right?)
[Master] He does get the bonus
[JohnA] [Hoffman]]: HEL check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!
[TMO] I read that as Hel the goddess/plane
[Master] so yes is a fail but not as bad as it could be
[Lisa] Maybe she could have helped
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Oh good, so a gentle failure
TMO makes a BALDUR check.
[Master] and you are not a priest so not as bad
[Carissa] Hi John! Missed you logging on.
[JohnA] till not awake, but here
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (BALDUR check? Someone stabbing me with mistletoe?)
[TMO] oo, even better: a TYR check
[Carissa] (Billstone?? Ugh, I can't stop trying to search for the lady and/or town)
[JohnA] looking for a made up city who claims to have a female dwarf?
[JohnA] neither exists
[Master (to Carissa only)] yes Billstone is the correct town it is on the path to and from Loosend from Dragon Fen and is the edge of territory to pay attention to
[TMO] bbs
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I read that as looking for a made up city who claims to be a female dwarf)
[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.
[Carissa (to Master only)] YAYYYY but where did they meet the dwarf lady for Skarp's sake??
[Master (to Carissa only)] way way farther south Lisa had it right with Primsen
[Lisa] The lady was in that Feb 8 2014 chat log
[Lisa] Rondelle
[Master] LOL Lisa
[Master] tenacious
[Master] John you are here and ready?
[Carissa] Ughh well maybe we just need to find Skarp a different dwarf lady friend. They're EVERYWHERE in the Mist... *cough*
[JohnA] sure, I can role play in my dreams
[JohnA] just hard to type
[Master] so two questions for OOC 1 what is your plan for Foto?
[JohnA] to meet in in Traveler's way
[Master] 2 Is your plan for Hoffman to be part of the party that goes back to Skull Church
[Master] but for Foto beyond that
[Master] do you intend for him to stay here in the Craniate Wastes? or
[JohnA] if we are going to Skull church before the queen, he goes with us
[Master] 100% before the Queen unless you make a point to go chase her down
[Master] you have no clue where she is
[JohnA] so one of my characters can stay in Skull Church, if anyone stays
[Master] ok
[Master] and Hoffman is going to Skull Church with whoever Branwyn has go?
[JohnA] what are my choices? Is she going to tell him to go alone?
[Lisa] The Queen is on tour at the moment
[Master] I need to have an idea of who will be there,
[Master] Hoffman is a fairly powerful character to balance
[Master] Foto is going to be included now that I know
[Master] and you know Branwyn is not going to tell Hoffman to go alone
[JohnA] I can play it either way, sounds like he knows Queen is not an option now
[Master] Queen is not an option in the next few days
[Master] unless the group decides to change direction and go that way
[JohnA] the question is more will I be there or not, not if Hoffman is there
[Lisa] better to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission
[Master] I am going with the idea that you will be here like Ryan and Spring are here
[Master] you three are here when you can be for parts of sessions
[JohnA] I was not expecting him to go with Branwyn, not taking lead
[JohnA] without
[Master] ok
[Lisa] Hoffman or Foto?
[JohnA] do I get a prize?
[JohnA] both
[JohnA] just need a title so I know how to play
[Master] so it looks to me like Branwyn, Hoffman, Skarp, new TMO, whoever Spring plays, Michael, whoever Carissa plays
[Lisa] and Foto
[Lisa] you got to let that little guy out of the house sometimes
[Master] yes Foto, Indigo, Tiberius, etc. for the non-players key character
[Lisa] Drayven if Fritz comes back
[Master] and then the reason I am making the Retired Characters page
[JohnA] one of these things is not like the others
[Master] Fritz, Mario, TMO might have input on secondary characters coming
[JohnA] retired just for this campaign?
[Master] yes for this campaign
[JohnA] sorry I like being on every page
[Master] anyone from earlier than 2010 is essentially dead or in my control entirely
[Lisa] lol John
[JohnA] so maybe I have to retire someone
[Master] HAH
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I'm from earlier than 2010
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I was from the 1980's. Does that mean I am under your control entirely?
[Master] So Ryan ship the kids here
[Master] grins
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Oh, that's all you want? DEAL
[Master] laughs
[JohnA] careful what you wish for
[Master] I can put them in the coding mines
[Master] but to start tonight more fully into roleplaying
[Master] You are all awake
[Master] Skarp and the rest are dealing with their Mist sickness
[Master] and you are heading towards Mosskin Hall
[Master] the center of the Mosskin Estates
[Master] one of the large and ancient families in control of Drillian
Skarphedin (Ryan) sways slightly, staring blearily at the others.
[Master] the current Queen Willimina Mosskin is tied into that bloodline
Hoffman (JohnA)] We should stop and say Hi, no?
[Lisa] you mean the "other" Mosskins?
SpringyDew has joined the game on Fri Jan 31 20:05:50 EST 2020
SpringyDew is receiving the map Base Map...
Hoffman (JohnA)] Branwyn?
SpringyDew has received the map Base Map.
[Lisa] Hi Spring!
[SpringyDew] hi hi hi!
Hoffman (JohnA)] (welcome Spring)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Hello!)
[Carissa] HI Spring!
[Master] yes to Lisa
mharm-95433 has joined the game on Fri Jan 31 20:06:56 EST 2020
mharm-95433 is receiving the map Base Map...
mharm-95433 has received the map Base Map.
SpringyDew is receiving the map Dragon Fen farmlands...
SpringyDew has received the map Dragon Fen farmlands.
Hoffman (JohnA)] (FULL HOUSE ALLERT)
[Master] Michael! Welcome back
Hoffman (JohnA)] (HELLO MICHAEL)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Hey howdy hi!)
[mharm-95433] Hello :)
[Carissa] Hi Michael!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We can stop if you like Hoffman. They aren't expecting us and I'd just as soon be home.
[mharm-95433] I murdered someone to be here tonight
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi Michael!)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hope you cleaned up the mess)
[SpringyDew] wow
[Master] did you bury the body? or leave it in the snow to freeze?
[mharm-95433] Nah I left it as a warning
[SpringyDew] or give it to the hogs?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (wood chipper!)
[mharm-95433] LOL
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[mharm-95433] I'm glad to be here tonight. When I said I would be in less frequently, I didn’t mean this bad
[Master] and NO one asks if he needs bail money, we all just know he has that covered
Hoffman (JohnA)] Just thought it might break the ice for me with the Queen, but feels a little stalker like if I do it without you
[SpringyDew] well he's here, ain't he?
[SpringyDew] he obbs doesn’t need bail money
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But I do understand Hoffman that if you want to advance in Drillian we can do that.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] These are distant relations. This won't be like walking into Jistille Estates.
Hoffman (JohnA)] This is not too far, that she would not visit. Will I be expected to know of the family relationship?
Hoffman (JohnA)] (I might miss playing dumb)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm sure everyone knows of it. It's just ... I've never heard Araheal or Wilimina ever speak of them.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And both Wilimina and a Mosskin girl were up for the throne.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think they operate quite separately.
Hoffman (JohnA)] oh, sound like a reason to keep walking but be nice to anything we see, good to know
[Master (to Lisa only)] you know that they were on the Queen's side during the civil war
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But our queen is their queen you know
Hoffman (JohnA)] Certainly
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It's not like they stood with the Bolpals in the civil war or anything
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It never hurts to say hello. Why not?
Hoffman (JohnA)] No, those we would have a different kind of stop by
Branwyn (Lisa) murmurs "Maybe no one will be home"
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) dust himself off
Hoffman (JohnA)] I guess I am as good as I am going to get
[Master] you are about 29 miles from Mosskin Hall
[Master] so just over 1 day
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (plenty of time to get pretty)
[mharm-95433] (So not that far
Hoffman (JohnA)] (but how far out of the way is it?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you made it sound like it was around the corner Bob)
[Master] On the Dry Road
[Master] (it is if you make it through 6 encounters it will happen tonight)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=19] 19
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (one down)
[mharm-95433] (I don't think we've ever made it through 6 encounters in one night bob?)
[mharm-95433] (Smiles)
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.D-Path-DryRoad
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (5 encounters)
[Master] (am also trying to make sure you have enough information from the website without needing to download Google Earth plug in, but that will enhance what you know)
Hoffman (JohnA)] (I just ask my scout, wait where is Ilero)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is the clock incorrect? says it is night)
[Master] so you are moving along
[Master] it is morning
[Master] Time of Day: 07:32 AM. Day 25 Mid ___ se, Man {Early Spring} 25th, 348 SKR.
[Master] and Michael Talwin does not know Penny the new person you picked up in Loosend
[Master] and this is the same road you took to and from Loosend most times you go that way
Hoffman (JohnA)] (she picked us up I believe)
[Master] Carissa is a man killer
[mharm-95433] (LOL) [Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRYFKcMa_Ek
[mharm-95433] (who is playing penny? I need to catch up)
Hoffman (JohnA)] (no, she just plays one in DND)
[mharm-95433] (I'm pulling open a site windows)
[Carissa] lol
[Master] as you head along the road going south deeper into The Mist
Hoffman (JohnA)] Wait, when did we get back in the Mist, maybe I am still distracted
[TMO] (moving right along...)
[Master] (yesterday afternoon for those that want to correct Hoffman)
[TMO] You been here too long.
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
Hoffman (JohnA)] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=13] 13
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] She is our cheese expert
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I did not know we needed on
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] but it seems we did
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] ("is she trying to replace me???")
[mharm-95433] (LOL)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (You have more than cheese, Kenna)
Ilero (TMO)] She want to move to Dragon Fen, hitch a ride.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (You are also an expert in milks)
[Penny (Carissa)] Oh! He runnin' his own creamery? I'd love to be talkin' off your ear if so!
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (I was jabbing at Hoffman for last week saying all the fighters are trying to replace him)
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (maybe he thinks Penny is also)
[mharm-95433] I am back at the keyboard.
[Penny (Carissa)] I mean, I don't wanna impose, but if ya need an apprentice for your creamery, well, I'd be mighty happy to help.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (I can perfectly imagine that accent that she is speaking and it scares me)
Hoffman (JohnA)] Well are we going to decide where she stays or give her the choice, where de we need the most cheese?
[Penny (Carissa)] (Good! ;))
Indigo (Lisa) points to his belly and laughs
Hoffman (JohnA)] (smiles with Spring)
[Penny (Carissa)] It sure does help to be where there's some good pasture. Where's Ilero's creamery? Be good to be near that so'n the milk don't go bad in transport.
Hoffman (JohnA)] You do want cows though I understand
[Penny (Carissa)] Well, yes sir. Ya need cows to make good cheese. I suppose sheep or goat'll do, but I am much better with them cows.
Hoffman (JohnA)] I was thinking you would be best to make cheese with whatever comes out of the swamps. but you want an easier job?
[Penny (Carissa)] Sir. If you think raisin' cow to be good at producing milk is easy, ya need to try again.
Indigo (Lisa) makes a face "Swamp cheese?"
Hoffman (JohnA)] we will introduce you to our cows and you can decide which are best
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] ( "Whatever comes out of the swamps" cheese does not sound appetizing at all)
[Penny (Carissa)] A sweet heifer'll be a great place to start. I'll need to find her a bull, though, to get things goin'.
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) thinks he stirred the curds enough
[Indigo (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=11] 11
[Indigo (Lisa)] (3 down)
Hoffman (JohnA)] Oh wait, Branwyn
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes?
Hoffman (JohnA)] you can make more cows
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Cows?
Hoffman (JohnA)] yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No
Hoffman (JohnA)] that is what we were just talking about
[Penny (Carissa)] (Oohh... didn't hit me until now. Catapults. Don't tell Penny)
Hoffman (JohnA)] Don't you have that spell to turn frogs into cows?
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Your cheese comes from cows? What are they?
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] A type of fungus? Because that's what GOOD cheese comes from
Hoffman (JohnA)] (nice Ryan)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is unnatural and the newly made cow would be like a frog in a cow's body
Hoffman (JohnA)] but the milk would be cow milk?
[Penny (Carissa)] Well, ya can add truffles to yer cheese if'n ya wanna be fancy, but I'm just as happy with a bit of sharp cheddar.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not the happy cows that Penny strives for
[Penny (Carissa)] A happy cow is very important, yes m'am.
Hoffman (JohnA)] I thought she makes the cows happy?
Hoffman (JohnA)] don't you Penny?
[Penny (Carissa)] Yes sir, but sometimes a cow ain't happy and, well, ya gotta do what ya need for it.
[Penny (Carissa)] Not all them cows are born happy and sometimes they ain't never gonna be.
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I thought everyone could have a happy thought
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] if you just find your happy thought that is all you need
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Gobbos burning makes me happy every time
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3gc1J9AXgU
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] If we could get some actual gobbos and burn them, that would be even better.
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "Yes, very true, but I think it would be very hard for a frog that suddenly was turned into a cow"
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (The conversation about cow milk reminds me about why I love you all so much)
[Penny (Carissa)] Sometimes a happy thought just ain't good enough.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] You want to help me find some goblins? I will let you spark the tinder.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] That always cheers me up. Might help you.
Penny (Carissa) sighs, "I already be telling you goblins ain't any good unless they know how to run a dairy."
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] (you need to see last week's chat Michael, it got MUCH farther afield into cheese with Tiberius)
[Penny (Carissa)] (It's.... definitely interesting. All sorts of milks)
Hoffman (JohnA)] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=18] 18
[Penny (Carissa)] (A few fuses short of a circuit)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Trust me. You had my interest, but now you have my attention. )
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Excuse me?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hello
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Are you planning on camping here?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (It's a ? Mark! Kill it)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] A GOBBO!!
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Attack: Hrotti:: is now ARMED.
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the group "Is it time to camp yet?"
[Penny (Carissa)] Well howdy there!
Hoffman (JohnA)] seems a little early for sampling, I was just thinking
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm not sure. Why do you ask?
[Master] Time of Day: 07:32 PM. Day 25 Mid ___ se, Man {Early Spring} 25th, 348 SKR.
[Penny (Carissa)] (...or not early, lol)
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] because you seem like a powerful group
[Penny (Carissa)] Er, well the sun did gone and set. Shouldn't we be campin'?
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) looks around to see where we are at
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] it might be nice to have you near us
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
Hoffman (JohnA)] (Do we see someone?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And who is us?
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Well my clan
[Penny (Carissa)] Y'all have names? Mine's Penny.
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] My name is Jenny
[Ilero]] (TMO) looks around.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Jenny.... doesn't sound like a goblin name.
Penny (Carissa) gasps, "Well that's sure a lovely name!"
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Attack: Hrotti:: is NO LONGER ARMED.
Gypsy Girl (Master) grins and curtsies
Hoffman (JohnA)] You look a little young to be meeting strangers
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] thank you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hoffman and I observe nothing?)
Hoffman (JohnA)] (she is on map)
[Penny (Carissa)] Where y'all off to?
[Gypsy Girl (Master) (to JohnA only)] it is a gypy girl on the side of the road
[Penny (Carissa)] (Ahh gypsy. Surprise!)
[Gypsy Girl (Master) (to Lisa only)] it is a girl dressed like a gypsy on the side of the road
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh get a roll - go look at the map)
[Penny (Carissa)] (Yeah missed her, too, til John pointed it out)
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Master only)] Thanks :)
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] We are a bit farther along
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] just past that copse of woods
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] maybe you can camp with us to help protect us?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think we can head that way. My name is Branwyn
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Who leads your clan?
Hoffman (JohnA)] We protect all of the Queens people
Penny (Carissa) nods, "They'd been pretty good at protectin' me."
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Nice to meet you Branwyn, I am Jenny
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Oh we have a few that lead us
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] George is the leader right now because some of us have lagged behind
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Your Wisewoman is not with you?
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Oh she is coming soon
Branwyn (Lisa) starts to get suspicious "Her name?"
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Wisewoman Carol
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] She is very deep
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I do not think we will camp with you Jenny
[Penny (Carissa)] (Neither a flower nor gem nor.... metal was it?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ilero?
Skarphedin (Ryan) glances between Branwyn and Jenny.
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Oh? Please? it would be so much nicer to have you with us
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Would you like to inspect this little gypsy want to be?
[Ilero]] (TMO) tilts his head. "Hokay"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think she wishes to lead us into an ambush
[Ilero]] (TMO) moves toward the gypsy.
Skarphedin (Ryan) mutters. "Sometimes I wish I wasn't so ignorant of Uplanders."
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (0.o)
[Penny (Carissa)] (Animal, duh. Whoops)

[Master (to GM only)] Gypsy Male #11: DEX check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Indigo (Lisa)] She looks like a gypsy
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That she is not
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] (A dart comes out of the woods to the left and lands about 10 feet away from Branwyn
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Can we kill them now?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ambush!
Penny (Carissa) shrieks
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Attack: Hrotti:: is now ARMED.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Well, that answers that question.
[Indigo (Lisa)] They shot at us!
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) pulls axes
Hoffman (JohnA)] We also protect ourselves
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I... I am not sure about Upland customs. Do we kill her, even though she is a child?
Hoffman (JohnA)] Turn her into a cow
[Ilero]] (TMO) shakes his head disappointedly at the gypsy girl.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (LOL)
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] (That is a quote of the night)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Look at what I have! A new milk maid for Dragon Fen
Ilero (TMO)] Attack: Mystery Dagger:: is now ARMED.
[Penny (Carissa)] (lol)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Tie her up and throw her in the wagon!
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Hey Hey Hay
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] I am not the problem
Indigo (Lisa) tries to grab the girl
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] I am jsut here to
Talwin (mharm-95433) Walks to Chile to tie her up
Gypsy Girl (Master) ouch
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] /helps Ilero
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) keeps an eye on woods
Gypsy Girl (Master) dodges from Indigo and SLAMS into Talwyn's arms
[Penny (Carissa)] Oh, uh, well I guess it's better than a goblin...
Talwin (mharm-95433) Grips
Talwin (mharm-95433) Oh no you don'
Gypsy Girl (Master) struggles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Your friend just tried to kill me. So I get to keep you
Talwin (mharm-95433) Pulls dagger
Talwin (mharm-95433) I'd stop if I were you
[Ilero]] (TMO) eyes the forest.
Penny (Carissa) clearly doesn't know what to do
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] Attack: Mallet:: is now ARMED.
Gypsy Girl (Master) goes limp
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Keep hold of her
[Penny (Carissa)] Don't hurt the poor girl. She's ain't but a kid!
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Let me go please?
Talwin (mharm-95433) Whispers to girl. I've had a rough week girl. If you add to it by poisoning me, I'll make sure it's not a fun time
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] They made me do it
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I don't care
Talwin (mharm-95433) Ilero
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] How old are you, girl?
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] who made you do what, dear?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] While I hold her, please tie her up
[Penny (Carissa)] Well, who is they?
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] I am big, I am 12
Ilero (TMO)] (Ilero doesn't have rope use)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] 12? Surprised you are walking at 12
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (haha)
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Billy said we could make some good money on the road pay for a room
[Penny (Carissa)] Er, she ain't meanin' 12 months.
Skarphedin (Ryan) confused. "Wait, when do human children begin walking?"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we can inexpertly tie a knot)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol Ryan!)
[Ilero]] (TMO) scoots into the forest and starts trying to make his way toward where the dart came from.
[Penny (Carissa)] Billy? Ain't right to be usin' children like that.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] How old is Billy?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (At least try to tie her up in some way. I don’t' want her stabbing me in the back. She aint inccoent here)
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] He is old, he is 18
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (We could make her incoherent if you want, Michael)
Hoffman (JohnA)] Wait Ilero...oh well
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Penny (Carissa)] Well lawdy. He ain't much older than a child, neither.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Oh good. 18, We can kill him
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] He's perfectly an adult now
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But can't buy Cigarettes you know
[Penny (Carissa)] Now sir. Ain't we already had enough murder? I ain't even been with y'all that long.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I'll just trust you Uplanders on when a human becomes an adult, because murdering an 18 year child sounds horrifying to me.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Rolls eyes
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Relax
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I don’t plan on killing someone unless she tells me too
Talwin (mharm-95433) Points at Bran
[Gypsy Girl (Master) (to TMO only)] you are hidden but cannot find anyone in the woods
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] human types reach physical maturity around 15 but their brains are not done until about 25
Hoffman (JohnA)] We don't kill vampires or weres, why would we need to kill uneducated human
Indigo (Lisa) comes back over and tries to tie her up
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But generally when you scare the ever living shit out of someone, tends to teach them to wise up
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] now if you'll excuse my teaching techniques...
Talwin (mharm-95433) Looks at them pointedly
Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] [Ilero]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
Branwyn (Lisa) calls out "Thank you for the gift Billy! Come out and claim her or we will be on our way with little Jenny!"
[Ilero]] (TMO) holds still and peers around, looking for movement.
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Right Billy! You will come save me right!
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Billy!
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] ........
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's it Indigo. Make those knots tight.
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Billy
Gypsy Girl (Master) pleading Billy
Gypsy Girl (Master) crying Billy
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Oh
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Oh
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Oh
Branwyn (Lisa) looks down at the girl "Sounds like we're doing you a favor"
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] I am a fool
Gypsy Girl (Master) crying
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (This is all Jenny that is crying and pleading, right?)
Talwin (mharm-95433) Looks completely Stoic, not trusting
[Penny (Carissa)] Aw, now it ain't right to make a kid cry. You ain't a nice person, Billy! Ya hear!
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Welcome to the world Penny
Talwin (mharm-95433) Speaks bitterly
[Penny (Carissa)] Who's this Billy to ya anyways, Jenny? Ain't seemin' like a nice person.
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] (yes to Skarp)
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] Billy saved me from my farm
Branwyn (Lisa) quietly "Who else is with this Billy? How many of you?"
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] he is awfully cute
[Penny (Carissa)] Oh sweetheart, he right told old for ya.
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] he and his three brothers got me some nice clothes
Shurkural (TMO)] Really stupid too if it's just him trying to take a group with this many swords on 'em.
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] he helped me find a new way
Shurkural (TMO)] Ah, 4. Still dumb as rocks.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Hamster's cute, too. Doesn't mean I would make life decisions based on it, though.
[Penny (Carissa)] Yer home that bad?
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] it is just hoeing and raking and hoeing
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] watching the beans grow
[Penny (Carissa)] Well ya probably need some cows... but I supposin' that ain't the point.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Farmers? It is a mark of distinction to be a farmer.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Nothing wrong with it.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Stealing from people is your new way?
[Penny (Carissa)] Ya sure they treatin' ya right, though? Putitin' yer life in danger?
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) moves closer to woods
Shurkural (TMO)] Oh no, how horrible. Having to work and toil for a living. So terrible.
[Penny (Carissa)] Probably making ya do all the cookin' and laundry, too.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Talwin, put her in the wagon.
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] OH we just take new clothes when we need them
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We'll take her to Dragon Fen
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It's not that late. We can travel a while more
[Penny (Carissa)] Well that ain't an honest livin', sweetheart.
[Gypsy Girl (Master)] It is better than beans
[Penny (Carissa)] How'd you feel if'n someone stole all yer beans after all that time hoeing and raking them?
[Jenny (Master)] It would mean I do not have to sit there no more
Talwin (mharm-95433) Whispers so no one can hear
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] You know what happens when you get caught though?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Billy and people like him usually end up dead
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] That includes you child
[Penny (Carissa)] Nuhuh, sweetheart. Mean yer gonna go hungry and have to toil some more while someone else eats without workin'. Ain't fair.
[Jenny (Master)] Billy says only the rich are mean
[Indigo (Lisa)] Or gets their hand chopped off
Talwin (mharm-95433) Roughly grabs bonds hauls her over his shoulder
[Ilero]] (TMO) spooks around a little more to see if they're still here or buggered off.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Well, I’m poor girl
[Penny (Carissa)] Well my Great Auntie got herself a nice lil' nest egg, but it ain't cause she's mean. It's cause she's worked an honest life.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And I can be as mean as the worst of them
Talwin (mharm-95433) Tosses her in the Wagon
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Pulls a sack over her head
[Jenny (Master)] ouch
[Penny (Carissa)] Now you be careful there, sir! She's still a little girl.
[Jenny (Master)] HEY
Branwyn (Lisa) calls out "Ilero! We have no time for this. We're taking the little baggage and leaving"
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] She's a little bandit now
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We don't have time for this.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And she'll be treated like one
[Penny (Carissa)] She ain't nothin' but a misguided child.
Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew) nods and points at Penny
[Ilero]] (TMO) comes out of the woods, assuming he didn't see anything.
[Penny (Carissa)] And a misguided child will remain so if ya treat her like that and not as someone who can still learn from her mistake.
Penny (Carissa) walks over to hand Jenny a small piece of cheese.
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Penny "We'll put her to use at home."
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) watches woods and take up the rear
Talwin (mharm-95433) OK, you can be good cop. I'm not so easy to sway
[Jenny (Master)] Thank you
[Master] and shortly along the roadway you find a camp
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] She'll earn a real living a grow up smart, or she can die like her friends if they keep on their path
[Master] three tents
Penny (Carissa) nods, "Ya just need some guidance that ain't from them boys."
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Where I come from, it would be two hands
[Master] a small fire burning
[Master] but no one near by
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Which is as good as death in the badlands
Talwin (mharm-95433) Walks away
[Ilero]] (TMO) moves ahead to make sure the camp is empty.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Ilero can recruit her or we can maybe put her at Traveler’s inn something other than farming)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (give her to a church?)
[Penny (Carissa)] (So no milkmaid with happy cows instead of beans? ;) )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol if she wants to)
Ilero (TMO)] (I'd had the same thought. Depends on her mindset. If she's a thief, she's not quite right for the Guild. :) )
Hoffman (JohnA)] (Hoffman saving his last Henchman for a goblin)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sounds like she wants more exciting than farming is really the root of it)
[Penny (Carissa)] (Please look away from Thistle)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Has she considered becoming a fisherman? Plenty of excitement there.)
[Penny (Carissa)] (Farming ain't ranchin' is what Penny would say. And to be fair, I'd be bored of beans too but I really want my own Jersey cow...)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I will say I'm surprised that not one of them came out to claim her
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (Snee can maybe make her an adventurer)
[Master] everyone be sure to go on message boards and tell them how exciting it is to be a Dragonslayer and debate farming of beans versus cows
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I do think we did you a favor little girl
Ilero (TMO)] (lol)
[Penny (Carissa)] Well, they be up an usin' her. I ain't surprised.
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (hahahaha)
[Penny (Carissa)] (lol)
Hoffman (JohnA)] (she just switched masters)
[Ilero]] (TMO) motions the group forward if the campsite is safe.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you Ilero.
[Master] (it is abandoned)
Talwin (mharm-95433) Despite the burlap sack, throws a waterskin on the girl. After making sure no one is looking
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no waterboarding)
Ilero (TMO)] (awww.... spoilsport)
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (it is abandoned but the fire is still going)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (LOL. Nah, just trying to be a little nice. Talwin knows what's up.)
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (so I guess just abandoned in a hurry)
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] Jenny, was this your campsite?
Talwin (mharm-95433) (His character has just seen stuff like this and knows that dying or loss of a hand likely fixes things right quick)
[Jenny (Master)] Yes
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (She has a sack on her head Spring)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (NM. She can see still)
[Jenny (Master)] we were supposed to camp here tonight, then move in the morning
[Ilero]] (TMO) checks the tents for useful stuff.
Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew) nodding
[Branwyn (Lisa)] oh take the sack off!
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] LOL
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Looks at Brans expression
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Bursts out laughing
[Penny (Carissa)] Movin' off to where?
Talwin (mharm-95433) Chortles
Talwin (mharm-95433) Pulls sack off
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] were you sharing a tent with anyone?
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Where were you moving on to?
[Jenny (Master)] I was just following
Jenny (Master) sigh
[Jenny (Master)] I guess I was wrong about it all
[Penny (Carissa)] You ain't heard them sayin' nothing useful?
[Jenny (Master)] LOTS!
[Jenny (Master)] where we would sleep
[Jenny (Master)] how to tell who had the best food
[Jenny (Master)] who to talk to
[Jenny (Master)] the old women are the best ones
[Jenny (Master)] they like to help
[Penny (Carissa)] Mmhmm, well that ain't quite... useful to us. You ain't got aims beside stealin'?
[Penny (Carissa)] Or plans if'n things gone wrong?
Talwin (mharm-95433) Gives Bran a knowing look
Talwin (mharm-95433) Shakes his head
Talwin (mharm-95433) I'll take her
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Make her useful and keep her out of trouble
[Jenny (Master)] (she talked to Bran first)
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
Hoffman (JohnA)] (I was not going there)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Bran has her own kids to deal with. Talwin is a sword master that can teach)
Shurkural (TMO)] Oh, she's probably still good for a couple more years for beggin' on corners.
Hoffman (JohnA)] (not in character)
[Penny (Carissa)] Well, ain't all yer plans always work, right? So what'd ya do when it didn't?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Sorry. Just throwing out options. Bran can always overrule. Talwin puts out thoughts)
[Jenny (Master)] Billy always has a plan
[Jenny (Master)] I guess had a plan
[Jenny (Master)] sigh
Shurkural (TMO)] Once she gets a bit older they can start selling her and make even more money.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Then why is he gone girl?
[Jenny (Master)] he really left me didn't he
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] I am afraid it looks that way
[Penny (Carissa)] Well we ain't sure. Gotta be careful tonight if'n yer wrong.
[Penny (Carissa)] But ya don't wanna be with no good fer nothin's that'll just use and abuse ya, sweetheart.
Ilero (TMO)] Depends how stupid t'ey are if t'ey come back or not.
Jenny (Master) looks at Indigo and Kenna you are kids too, how do you make it?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Talwin, we'll give her options and let her decide. If she doesn't want to come to Dragon Fen we'll toss her out of the wagon tomorrow. Away from the men and on her own.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Attack: Hrotti:: is NO LONGER ARMED.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (How about we not put the idea that they might come back for her in her head and show her they will back her up?)
Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Well, keep her away from our food, but I suppose she is our responsibility for now.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Nice plan
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm not a kid!
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Will it be while the wagon is moving? Or will we slow down first
Talwin (mharm-95433) Turns away while smirking slightly
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] I am old enough to be your mama, if I were human
[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Why not just toss her out?"
Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew) recalculates in her head because she might be wrong
[Penny (Carissa)] 'Cause that ain't the polite thing to do.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Setting up an ambush wasn't polite either!
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (my character sheet is way out of date anyway)
[Jenny (Master)] Do you have food?
[Indigo (Lisa)] That dart could have hit Branwyn if that man could aim right
[Penny (Carissa)] Yer right it ain't, but if ya toss a kid to the wolves for all them stupid decisions, well, ain't gonna be many kids left in the world.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You will get a share of our dinner when it is ready.
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] besides which, it is not the sort of thing the Dragonslayers are known for
Ilero (TMO)] Fewer stupid kids, anyways.
[Indigo (Lisa)] The wolves are in Dragon Fen anyway!
Indigo (Lisa) laughs at his own joke
Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew) smiles
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo amuses himself)
[Penny (Carissa)] Er... what?
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] there are wolves who belong to one of our people
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] back in Dragon Fen
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (almost said back home)
[Jenny (Master)] smiles
[Penny (Carissa)] Someone be keeping wolves? Er, why ya gone do that? They'd eat the cows.
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] they behave rather well. I was surprised too
[Penny (Carissa)] Well if'n you say so. Ain't sure I be trustin' wolves, though.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Well, they are kind of friends at this point aren't they?)
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (yeah that's why "belong" instead of "own")
[Penny (Carissa)] (Ithil and Galad did grow up with you all. That's gotta mean something!)
[Master] and so it is night watches
Hoffman (JohnA)] (Hoffman on 2)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Let me take first because I may not be able to stay on for too much longer
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'd like to help at least a little
[Indigo (Lisa)] (we have plenty of people tonight so I can take the night off)
[Kenna Westfoot (SpringyDew)] (Kenna 3)
Hoffman (JohnA)] (Branwyn, not Indigo)
[Master] So Talwin and who on 1st?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Ryan? watch?)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I will)
[Master] ok Skarp and Talwin and GO

mharm-95433 has received the map Dragon Fen farmlands.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (thought it was 10?)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Right Skarp
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Give me just a moment?
Skarphedin (Ryan) grunts acknowledgement.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Walks over to wagon. Pulls out his bedroll and pillow
[Penny (Carissa)] (I thought five... guess I need to check)
Talwin (mharm-95433) Tosses it to the girl
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I aint using it
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] No bugs
Talwin (mharm-95433) Walks away
Talwin (mharm-95433) Walks up to Skarp
[Penny (Carissa)] (Ooh yeah a decade. Whoops)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] How you wanna handle watch? I can do periodic patrols if you prod me every so often.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Laughs
Talwin (mharm-95433) Slaps Skarp’s back
Skarphedin (Ryan) stares in bemusement.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Same to you
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Should I patrol, given my eyes are better for night?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Let me know if you need anything.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] So.. how do humans treat their young?
Talwin (mharm-95433) Hm.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Encountered a few of your young ones, but they seem to be... atypical.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Skarp
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Do you want the honest truth?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Or the one you can live with?
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] The truth, of course
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] The honest truth.... why would I want a lie?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] No. No you don't
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But I'd be happy to enlighten
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I didn't really know my pa. Mom died at 16
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] You know what I did when I misbehaved?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'll tell you
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Mom would have the mercenaries have me for two days
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I worked, until I couldn't stand
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] They weren't kind
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Then, on day
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] One of them went too far
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] He was drinking quite heavily that day
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] He drew his sword
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I grabbed the nearest stick I could to defend myself
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And was quite surprised it seemed to go right through the man’s chest
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Turns out the stick was a sword
Skarphedin (Ryan) watches intently.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Turns out to Skarp
[Indigo (Lisa)] (baby's first murder)
Talwin (mharm-95433) Dead eyes
Talwin (mharm-95433) I don't know how you treat yours
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But we can treat them well, treat them poorly, or not treat them at all
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Ma never picked me up that day
Talwin (mharm-95433) Shrugged
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Never knew what happened to her
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] You have my sympathy.
Talwin (mharm-95433) The Mercenary captain had been watching of course
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] He was a sharp man and never let "children" underfoot
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] He clapped me on the back
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] said "Mighty fine stick you have there"
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] The next morning, we were hired to slaughter everything that moved in the next camp over
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] So, how we treat children
Talwin (mharm-95433) Shrugs
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] You tell me
Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods head towards the girl
Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs. "Dwarves don't have many children. At least, not my clan."
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] She has no idea what people are capable of
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] She needs to be put to work
Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I don't know much about Dwarves myself
Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs again. "We keep to ourselves, much to our detriment."
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] So...how do you treat your young?
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] But we care for our children, as best we can. Put them to work early, since every life is important.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Work is a great way to teach in my experience
Talwin (mharm-95433) Smiles
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] My da was harsh, but fair. He is a farmer during the growing season, and a fighter when needed.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Every dwarf learns to fight. We are surrounded by enemies, and there are few of us....
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Too... few...
Talwin (mharm-95433) Sighs
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] You know. Maybe that's the difference
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] There are so many of us, that many children don't get cared for at all. Yet, for you and yours, every child is precious
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I think.. I would have liked your father
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] The captain... wasn't a good man
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] necessarily
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] he had principles
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] He is a good man. A better man than I am, or could even hope to be.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] in his own way
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Principles?
Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Even if they didn't always align with the law
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] but he had them
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And more importantly
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] that bastard ruled with an iron fist
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] like your father
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] he was at times...harse
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] but always Fair
Skarphedin (Ryan) grunts, nods in understanding.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Life is never fair
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] but he always was
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Saw him behead a man instantly when the man tried to rape someone
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] He did it casually
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] without even thinking
Ilero (TMO)] (suggested books: the first three Black Company books by Glen Cook. Follow the story of a band of mercenaries who are hired by the Evil Queen)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Heard of them TMO. On my list already. :) )
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Croaker and Lady. Man, I love the art they did for the reprints.)
Ilero (TMO)] (there are WAY more than just the three books, but they're what started the whole thing)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] LOL
Lisa has left the game on Fri Jan 31 21:43:38 EST 2020
Talwin (mharm-95433) Drops voice for Skarp
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Guess Lisa isn't a fan.)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Then again, I also saw him rob a man blind because he had left out some details in his contract.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Beat him within an inch of his life too
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] We all just watched
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Is that... abnormal for humans?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Sigh
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] It's complicated
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] For dwarves, contracts are a serious matter.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] For ME myself, A contract is worth my life
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] That's a mercenary
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] BUT
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] many don't feel that way
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] me nods. "What is life without honor?"
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] This man didn't necessarily break his contract though
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] He carefully left out details
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] because of that
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] three men died
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] for a pittance of what we were hired for
Hoffman (JohnA)] (test)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (you good)
Lisa has joined the game on Fri Jan 31 21:46:06 EST 2020
Lisa is receiving the map Base Map...
Lisa has received the map Base Map.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] So, to you, was that an honorable thing to do?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'll continue anyway but am curious on your view
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] It is not a kind thing to do. But understandable. To break the spirit of an agreement, that's abhorrent.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Holds finger up
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] AH
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But there is the crux of the issue
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] He didn't break the letter of the law
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And so, the Local Lord drew offense
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Honor wasn't a thing to him. That was for peasants far beneath his own world reality
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And that my friend is how political debates start
Talwin (mharm-95433) Laughs
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] There is a good ending to that story by the way
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] We escaped the lord, even the Captain
[Master] Time of Day: 10:32 PM. Day 25 Mid ___ se, Man {Early Spring} 25th, 348 SKR.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] ...After robbing his castle
Talwin (mharm-95433) Snorts
[Master] and time to wake the next watch, Hoffman and Ilero
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Humans.... seem more and more complicated every day.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'll tell you the rest another time
Talwin (mharm-95433) You and me both think that my friend
Talwin (mharm-95433) Stands
Talwin (mharm-95433) Stretches
[Ilero]] (TMO) slides hastily into view from offscreen.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Let me grab the next guys
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Okay laid some groundwork for backstory stuff. Awesome. Great work for now)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (I'll be here, but may go AFK now and then for school)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Nice backstory)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Nothing to report. Been quiet.
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) stretches and gets armor and axes ready
Ilero (TMO)] Hany problems wit' girl?
Talwin (mharm-95433) Shakes head
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] None
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] If I see a girl worth her beard, I will let you know.
[Jenny (Master)] snores
Talwin (mharm-95433) Sighs
Ilero (TMO)] You mean bread?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I don't have the heart to take my bedroll back
[Penny (Carissa)] (Peg lady)
Talwin (mharm-95433) I'll just lie next to it.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Do women grow bread on their faces above ground?
Ilero (TMO)] You take mine.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods gratefully
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Thank you Ilero
Ilero (TMO)] Oh, you mean beard for real?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'll give it back when you are done
Talwin (mharm-95433) Stares at Skarp
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Also we need to talk about beards sometime
Skarphedin (Ryan) stares blankly, nods, then heads to bed.
Ilero (TMO)] Hye t'ought you just misspoke or somet'ing wit' accent.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Shrugs. Hell Ilero. Half the time I don't know what you say either.
Talwin (mharm-95433) Slaps him on back
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But that's why I love you
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Night my friend
[Ilero]] (TMO) rolls his eyes. "Sorry. Hye. Make. Sure. Speak. Slowly. For. You."
Hoffman (JohnA)] Not that I would correct a dwarf, but that is what I understand, Dwarfs all have beards
Talwin (mharm-95433) Bursts out laughing
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I buy you a drink at the next inn
Talwin (mharm-95433) Falls on roll and is promptly asleep
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods and checks to make sure he's got his weapons to hand.
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (He isn't the only one on watch is he?)
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) checks wagon
Ilero (TMO)] (Hoffman)
Hoffman (JohnA)] You like the perimeter understand Ilero
[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Sure. Be right back."
[Ilero]] (TMO) does a patrol.
Hoffman (JohnA)] unless you have something on your mind
[Ilero]] (TMO) grins before he goes. "We find somet'ing talk about."
Hoffman (JohnA)] (is Jenny in wagon?)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (I put the roll in the wagon for her)
Hoffman (JohnA)] Does she remind you of someone?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Oh god. Jilly would be a terrible influence)
[Master] (sleeping on the ground under the wagon)
SpringyDew has left the game on Fri Jan 31 21:56:59 EST 2020
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (My bad guys. She's under wagon)
[Ilero]] (TMO) shakes his head. "Hye t'ink next t'ing Dragon Fen need is orphanage, way t'is group keeps trying to save all t'e kids.
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) head sinks
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) mumbles Miranda started one
Ilero (TMO)] (oops)
Ilero (TMO)] (hye forgot)
[Master] (LOVE that TMO does it in ooc too)
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (heh)
Hoffman (JohnA)] Not sure if Forshort will continue
Ilero (TMO)] We make sure hit does. Hye t'ink Branwyn not stop collecting any time soon.
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) trying to cheer up "Maybe Penny will help 0"
Ilero (TMO)] Everybody pitch in, hye sure.
Hoffman (JohnA)] Wat is it like having a whole crew to be responsible for?
[Ilero]] (TMO) exhales harshly. "Hard. So many t'ings keep track of. Lucky hye got some good help keep everyt'ing running. Too much for just me keep eye on.
Hoffman (JohnA)] You really have to trust someone, that must take time
[Ilero]] (TMO) wags his hand uncertainly. "T'at take time. Big difference between mistake, incompetence, and treachery, but sometimes all look t'e same."
[Lisa] (wise words)
Hoffman (JohnA)] hmmm
Hoffman (JohnA)] not sure I want that kind of responsibility
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) fades off "especially without Miranda"
Ilero (TMO)] You get used to it. You t'inking about trying somet'ing?
Hoffman (JohnA)] Might be forced to, need to expand one way or another
Hoffman (JohnA)] Ever forward
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods. "Can't get stuck in one place too long."
Hoffman (JohnA)] I used to think that meant moving, now I think it is more about growing
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods in agreement.
Hoffman (JohnA)] ready for a challenge, just not sure if I get to choose what that is
Hoffman (JohnA)] you going back to that church?
[Ilero]] (TMO) chuckles. "Hye not get choice eit'er. His good idea, but probably not ever do it if left on my own."
Hoffman (JohnA)] or are you done with that
Ilero (TMO)] No, hye going back to it. Just needed do t'is trip. Lanek take care of t'e Guild while hye gone.
[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Sorry, it looks like I have to go. Have a good weekend everyone. Thanks for the fun session.)
[Penny (Carissa)] (Night Ryan!)
Ilero (TMO)] (bye)
Hoffman (JohnA)] (ttfn)
Ryan has left the game on Fri Jan 31 22:11:23 EST 2020

Hoffman (JohnA)] just wondering how much control Branwyn will have when she sees that cloak
[Ilero]] (TMO) shrugs. "Also depend how much power he got. She may have to unload to beat him."
Hoffman (JohnA)] feels like forever from the last time we fought together agasit a formatiable challenge
[Ilero]] (TMO) nods. "Heh. Remember dragon turtle?"
Hoffman (JohnA)] it is all a blur
Hoffman (JohnA)] I was thinking of the Dragon, I will remember that look for a while
[Master] (grins, which one?)
Hoffman (JohnA)] (she knows)
Ilero (TMO)] (guessing the one that was killed over her objections. ;) )
Hoffman (JohnA)] (exactly)
Hoffman (JohnA)] I think I need a patrol
[Ilero]] (TMO) waves him away and checks over the campsite.
[Hoffman]] (JohnA) circles the camp
Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!
[Ilero]] (TMO) checks on Jenny
[Jenny (Master)] snoring
Hoffman (JohnA)] (makes sure it's not a recording)
Ilero (TMO)] (I could SO earn Kenna's ire right now... ;) )
Hoffman (JohnA)] (what, Jenny just died in her sleep)
Ilero (TMO)] (chuckle - child murder - so amusing!)
[Jenny (Master)] lol
Hoffman (JohnA)] (she is not here, who else will be on 3rd?)
[Master] Spring is having a hard time re-logging in
[Lisa] Penny and Shur?
[Master] yes
Ilero (TMO)] (you are a serious glutton for punishment, ain't ya?)
[Master] Time of Day: 02:32 AM. Day 26 Ko ___ se, Man {Early Spring} 26th, 348 SKR.
[Lisa] (we are running out of time with these characters)
Shurkural (TMO)] (you say that like it's a bad thing. ;) )
[Lisa] (yes I do!)
[Master] and so
[Master] Penny and Shur
Shurkural (TMO)] (/me squeals and jumps up and down. "GIRL TIME!")
[Penny (Carissa)] (Wheeeee)
[Shurkural]] (TMO) pulls out her glowing sword and gives it a quick polish and check for dings.
[Penny (Carissa)] (Ughh no you're supposed to start the convo. My mind is stuck in the Wildlands right now)
Shurkural (TMO)] (*exhausted sigh* UGH - Fiiiiiiiinne ;) )
[Penny (Carissa)] (lol)
Shurkural (TMO)] So, Penny. You're going to start a dairy farm, right?
[Penny (Carissa)] Yes ma'am, that's my dreams. I ain't got much to start with, but if I can get me a cow or two, I think I'll be right as rain. Takes a long time to build up a herd, ya know.
Shurkural (TMO)] I was gonna ask where you were going to get the cows from. Whatcha think you can do to get your first couple?
Hoffman (JohnA)] (do you have any beans?)
[Penny (Carissa)] Well I've been told there's already some farms down here. Ain't take much to get me a calf to start if'n that's what I gotta do, but famers help farmers, ya know? I can strikes some deals. If'n they know my family, well, that sure be great barginin', too.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) nods. "And you're showing up in tow with the Marquessa. That'll probably be worth something."
[Penny (Carissa)] The Marquessa? I ain't quite sure what a Marquessa is. Politic ain't my strong point. Don't feed a cow, ya know? So ain't no reason to know it.
[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG0LWQ3TEHY&list=PL5laWojGP3ypwAPKQuWOZBwMmafrv6Z29&index=91
[Shurkural]] (TMO) smiles. "She's who you'll be paying yer taxes to."
[Penny (Carissa)] Oh. OH. Oh lawdy. You ain't yankin' my chain, are ya?
[Shurkural]] (TMO) winks. "Could be worse. The Queen stopped by a few months ago."
[Penny (Carissa)] Well now I just ain't ready for none that. No m'am. I just wanting safe passage to Dragon Fen and gettin' me a farm.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) nods. "I didn't think you were just sitting there waiting for us to wander through. You just got lucky is all. No harm in that."
[Penny (Carissa)] I suppose'n I'm gonna need to be on my toe. I ain't realizing... well, a person's a person as Ma always said. Just treat 'em like a person and all will be fine.
Shurkural (TMO)] *Almost* always. I wouldn't suggest pulling a friendly prank on the Queen or anything.
[Penny (Carissa)] No m'am. I was fixin' to leave, but I just ain't had good luck before y'all let me come on.
[Penny (Carissa)] Well I ain't never been one much for pranks.
Shurkural (TMO)] Don't worry about, I'm just pulling your leg. You won't have to worry about it, I'm sure.
[Penny (Carissa)] Well that's good.
Penny (Carissa) clears throat, "Just gotta get them jitters out and all'll be good again."
[Shurkural]] (TMO) flips her sword out and holds it out toward Penny and points to one of the engravings on the blade. "That's the Queen's mark. She got this thing enchanted for me. She's a good lady."
[Penny (Carissa)] I supposin' that's good. I ain't wanting trouble with raisin' my herd. All I wantin' to do. Raise my herd and get hem some good cheeses.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) flips the sword back into place and nods. "I'll buy some of your first batch."
[Penny (Carissa)] Oh, well, I ain't sure I can let ya do that. I mean, I ain't done nothin' to earn such kindness.
[Master] (Just to be clear Branwyn does have empty slots to bring in a cheese maker, etc. for the Estate)
[Master] (no caves to store it in ..... yet.... )
[Penny (Carissa)] (lol caves are only needed for some cheese)
[Penny (Carissa)] (and she's gotta get a dairy up and running first, cheese is second)
[Master] (Skull Church Sharp Cheddar .... )
[Lisa] (sounds gouda to me)
Hoffman (JohnA)] (EXTRA SHARP)
[Penny (Carissa)] (Don't be so cheesy)
[Master] Might have some holes in it
[Penny (Carissa)] (Swiss and miss)
[Lisa] (I apologize if I sounded grating)
[Lisa] (poor Mario is missing all the cheese puns)
[Master] Skarp has the right shade of blue mold for you
[Penny (Carissa)] (Also rereading that sentence, read Shur wrong so... you can redact what Penny replied with)
Shurkural (TMO)] Well, you just send a message over to the Tieran Guild when your cheese is ready and I'll come over. I can maybe help you pick out some cows if you need. I'm decent with animals, although I never worked on a farm myself.
[Penny (Carissa)] (He is! Am I allowed to use my Queso pun again?)
[Penny (Carissa)] That's mighty kind of ya. Always fun finding some cows with company. I'd be happy to take you along.
Shurkural (TMO)] So, you got a man waiting for you there? Or one going to follow you later?
[Penny (Carissa)] No m'am. I'm all on my own, but I ain't too concerned. Men'll always show up. I'ma hoping he's good with cows. Them drunkards at the bar weren't good for much.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) chuckles. "I bet there's a good number of young single guys who came out to Dragon Fen to make their fortunes. I bet you'll be beating them off with a stick.
Penny (Carissa) grins, "I sure do look forward to that day."
[Shurkural]] (TMO) winks. "Or find the right one and use your hand."
[JohnA] (make sure that stick in not a sword)
Penny (Carissa) laughs
[Lisa] (lol)
Shurkural (TMO)] (I have to be very careful not to overuse Shur's dirty sense of humor. A little of that goes a long way)
[Penny (Carissa)] (lol very true)
[JohnA] I am going to fade away, you all have fun and a good week
Shurkural (TMO)] (g'nite John)
[Lisa] (Goodnight John!)
JohnA has left the game on Fri Jan 31 22:49:18 EST 2020
[Penny (Carissa)] (Night!)
Shurkural (TMO)] Yeah, we'll find you a good place to raise some cows. How many you going need for a full cheesemaking thing?
[Penny (Carissa)] Well, it depends how good them girls are at milkin'. If they're good producers, just handful'll be a good start.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) thinks hard. "Hmm. Well, you probly won't be able to afford that many to start with, so a place that you can hopefully expand later. But not too far out or you won't be close enough to get protection if something comes in from the wild.
[Lisa] (couldn't she just run the cheesemaking factory and get the milk from other farmers? she sounds a bit cow obsessed though)
Penny (Carissa) nods, "That sounds about right. I ain't going to be able to make cheese right away, but I can still get some good milk from them girls, whether it be one or twenty."
[Penny (Carissa)] (Well if you want this to work like in the real world, yes ;) )
[Lisa] (lol)
Shurkural (TMO)] (MAGIC)
[Shurkural]] (TMO) casts Summon Cow
[Penny (Carissa)] Plenty other things I can do with them girls before cheese. Cheese is just the best part.
[Penny (Carissa)] But ya can get all sorts from cows. Milk, soap, glue, leather. Cows are 'mazing critters.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) smiles. "Yep. And they taste good too."
[Penny (Carissa)] Yes, m'am. And when ya raise them right, they taste better.
[Shurkural]] (TMO) nods. "We had a small kitchen at the inn where we usually just served a stew."
Shurkural (TMO)] Mama did the cooking.
[Penny (Carissa)] Mas sure do know how to do good cookin'! Ya grew up in an inn?
Shurkural (TMO)] Well, not really grew up there, no. We did that after Pa retired from hunting.
[Penny (Carissa)] Yer from around here?
[Shurkural]] (TMO) shakes her head. "No. Vilmar Estates. Our inn was at the Citadel."
[Penny (Carissa)] Oh. Was it nice where you grew up?
[Shurkural]] (TMO) waves her hand in the air. "No Mist out there at least. But we had a bunch of thieves in the sewers and such."
[Penny (Carissa)] Ah well at least ya knew to expect them in the sewers. I ain't never been to a big city, but sewers just seem like a bad place to be
[Master] (Deeper into The Mist in Vilmar)
Shurkural (TMO)] (I could have sworn it was outside it...?)
[Master] (nope)
Shurkural (TMO)] (well, color me misty)
Shurkural (TMO)] Anyways, yeah, I've been back a few times, but not in a few years now.
[Master] Time of Day: 07:32 AM. Day 26 Ko ___ se, Man {Early Spring} 26th, 348 SKR.
[Master] morning weakly appears through The Mist
[Master] I think this is a good place to pause because you are about 5 miles from Mosskin Hall, then 10 miles to intersection of Hill Road
[Master] after that 48 miles from Redfern Lake
Shurkural (TMO)] then 962 miles from Oz
[Lisa] ok
[Master] grins
[Lisa] never been to see the Mosskins
[Master] yeap
[Master] you have gone through a few times
[Lisa] I'm sure they'll be thrilled to have a dozen people drop in
[Master] but never as a Countess
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I apologize been afk
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I will catch up on reading
[Lisa] it's ok
[Master] is good Michael
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I wanted to thank you guys for your patience with me :)
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] This is a busy year
[Master] it is all fun

[Master] you did good tonight
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I had a wonderful night everyone
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Thanks bob :)
[TMO] was all good
[Lisa] we're just happy when you can come in
[Master] yes very nice night for roleplay and moving stories forward
[TMO] Hey Bob - had one question in that one email: what are the rules, if any, for using a NWP if you don't have the skill?
[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'll try and do better. This was just a busy month. I agree bob. I like when we move stories forward. Mostly because I look forward to seeing what shenanigans you got planned for us LOL [Master] most times you fail TMO
[Lisa] So see everyone next week hopefully
[Lisa] Goodnight!!
[Carissa] Night all!

[TMO] what's weird about it is I thought a bit about getting Intimidation for the new PC, but it's a Rogue-only skill. Which means no fighter has ever tried to intimidate an opponent. O_o
[Master] well using that skill
[Master] you can attempt to just intimidate someone, anyone can
[Master] but with that skill you get a quick roll and resolution that might succeed where no one else could
TMO nods.
[TMO] I didn't have the slots to spend on it anyways, but it put the question in my mind
[Master] yeah
[Master] is like cheese making, in theory you can try but unless you have the skill the chances are your stuff just comes out rancid milk
[TMO] and I couldn't remember the 2.5 rules on it
[Master] and you bluff your way in selling that
[Master] grins
[TMO] np. I'll spend a bit of time looking for a profile pic for the hench.
[TMO] I've put 2 for the PC in your Discord messages. How many magic items does the hench get to start with? ;)
[TMO] 17?
[Master] lol
[Master] I will equip them
[Master] saving this
[Master] ******
[TMO] there are just so many pics out there. :)
[TMO] thanks for the game. talk to you later
XP awarded
