[Master] You saw this last week right?

[Fritz] the big map and the local yes

[Master] good

[Fritz] I sent both pics to you via gmail

[Master] thanks

[Master] they shut down the schools

[Master] so I might have lots of time at home very soon

[Fritz] Yea...This is an excessive panic about a disease that won’t do as much damage as the flu...Yes its more deadly if you are sick and infirm, but less transmissionable. And the data is skewed because they aren't really including ALL the possible asymptomatic patients

[Master] If 1 percent are fatal, and the prediction holds true that 1,500,000 people in the US will get it over the next 8 weeks, then that means 1.5 million people will die by the end of May

[Master] Those are the CDC numbers

[Master] the numbers you shared on how many are serious versus moderate are going to be what determines how bad it really gets

[Fritz] If that holds true it will be greater than what happened in China and they are already seeing a decline in the number of infected

[Fritz] Mild to serious has a 0% mortality

[Master] I saw from the State of Ohio medical office they think they have 150,000 cases in the state currently but no way of testing

[Fritz] Also remember the poor and uninsured will likely rarely get tested

[Master] yes to mortality, but from what I read more than moderate means loss of lung capacity due to scarring, so a large chunk of those infected will have maybe fifty percent lung capacity going forward

[Master] and I do not believe for one moment our health care system can handle 20 million more patients with pulmonary problems

[Fritz] How can they determine that when if you have mild to serious disease the time to total recovery is 6 weeks. Scaring takes years

[Master] that is what the CDC said

[Master] not sure to trust or not

[Master] I tend towards the WHO

[Master] and hello Brad

[Master] is that actually Michael?

[Master] Or John?

[Brad_Work-28277] nope to both

[Fritz] Scaring would only occur in people with severe underlying lung disease. And no one talks about the flu people that have issues...I had a 47 year old woman die last weekend after being on life support since January 12 from the flu

[Master] Hmmm I see Brad is from the NL

[Yug] ugh too much coronavirus talk

[Master] wry grin it is the topic of conversation everyone now it seems

[Master] and yes to Fritz

[Master] fully agree that people should have been talking about that more

[Master] hoping that this new scare will wake people up and demand from Congress some better healthcare

[Master] and now I see and Welcome back Guy

[Yug] lol thanks

[Fritz] Ahh but that will happen when Bernie Sanders and Trump have a baby together and name it HOPE!!!

[Master] will send a series of maps to you Guy

[Master] and LOL

[Yug] roflmao

[Master] so since you were here Guy, Branwyn has created Dragon Fen

[Master] you will notice the town on the far east of the map

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

[Yug] Foriso town???

[Master] along with Otterville

[Master] as the center of the Estate

[Yug] I love it

[Master] Fritz, Guy played Foriso a thief with the party that died heroically several years ago

[Master] have the two of you ever played together?

[Yug] I’m not sure

[Fritz] Guy sounds familiar, but not certain... could be the gender

[Master] then no you would remember Fritz, grins

[Fritz] LOL

[Master] and you would remember Guy

[Master] so Fritz you have Drayven

[Master] there is Lanek for Guy to run, Spring was going to use him as an NPC from the guild

[Master] or you can help Fritz with Grolduk another person from the guild

[Master] Ilero created a Scouting Guild in Foriso Town

[Fritz] still working on him

[Master] two of the people from the guild are accompanying the group

[Master] on the way back to Skull Church

[Master] grins

[Master] Third Time is Tradition is the story arc

[Master] and this is the third time in this story arc they have gone back to the church

[Fritz] how does the dog customizing work?

[Master] and the Craniate Wastes map shows where all this is in relation to each other

[Master] are you on the page Fritz?

[Fritz] yes

[Master] roll a d10

[Fritz] how does the training skills work.. I’m confused

[Master] that is the intelligence trait

[Fritz] I did I rolled an 8

[Fritz] It's in the log

[Master] so you have 8 slots to spend on skills

[Fritz] Ahhh.. And my modifier for animal training and animal lore?

[Master] only helps with shortening training times

[Master] and allowing you a wolf instead of a standard dog

[Master] and so Guy look over Lanek

[Master] and when Spring is in she can give you pointers

[Yug] I was

[Ryan] Oooh, nice

[Master] Qui Fen is named after one of John's characters also

[Yug] my third character, first for this campaign

[Fritz (to GM only)] Character sheet for Omen modified: Personal Information - Name:: CHANGED: Omen (null).

[Ryan] Man, I will be happy if a dunghill is named after one of my characters

[Ryan] Hello!

[JohnA] we can do that now Ryan

[JohnA] hello Carissa

[Ryan] YAY! Validation at last!

[Carissa] Hi all!

[Yug] lol

[Yug] hola

[Fritz] Bob I'm going to use the Jump slot for its ability to have me as a rider, is that ok?

[Fritz (to GM only)] Character sheet for Omen modified: Class Skills - ADDED: House Skills, 2, This training modifies the dog’s behavior so that it is a compatible living companion. It corrects problems such as housesoiling, excessive barking, and other destructive behavior. Note that without these skills, the dog will not be allowed in most establishments. Furthermore, this ensures the animal interacts civilly with strangers regardless of standard animal behavior (see Handling Canine NPCs).. ADDED: Attack, 1, The dog attacks any creature designated by its master. If no creature is indicated, the animal attacks the stranger closest to its master. If the master is attacked while commanding the dog to attack a different target, the dog must successfully pass a resist instinct check. Failing that check, the dog disregards the command and attacks its master’s assailant. If the dog is ordered to attack a friend, it must again pass a resist instinct check. Failing that, the dog does not attack, instead returning confused to its master’s side.. ADDED: Recall, 1, This command is an advanced version of “come.” On this command, the dog will return to its master’s side. “Come” may be learned as an individual trick, basic (see below) or as part of house skills. If the command “come” is given while the dog is engaged in an activity (such as chasing rabbits, eating, etc.), the dog returns only if it makes a successful resist instinct check. The “Recall” version of this command obviates any check; the dog returns immediately to its master regardless of activity..

[Master] yes

[Ryan] Hello!

[Yug] nooooooooo not Lisa

[Carissa] Hi Lisa!

[Lisa] noooooooooooo not Guy!

[Lisa] Hi Carissa :)

[Yug] bwahahahahahaha

[Ryan] This is Guy's evil twin, Yug

[Ryan] You can tell by his moustache

[Yug] no no no its the beard that’s the difference

[Lisa] I thought Yug's evil twin was Guy

[Fritz] Should I ignore the modifier that comes with the "Breed" Since he is a dire wolf and that in itself is a bonus?

[Lisa] keep getting that mixed up

[Lisa] How are you?

[Master] yes to Fritz

[Ryan] Not healthy to ignore that Breed modifier. It is a biological imperative for a reason

[Yug] not bad I love Foriso town

[Master] hah

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] It's my nature

Brer Necholas (TMO) shifts without a word in his armor.

[Ryan] (I read that without the f.)

[Lisa] unless you are taking the horse inside the church, just warning that it might get eaten by a griffon or attacked by zombies or stolen by goblins

[Ryan] (I was thinking, "Man, can't you find a bush or something first?")

[Lisa] just to name a few potentials

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (LOL)

[Lisa] there is a farm with a barn nearby where we usually drop wagons and horses and hope they are there when we get back

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] why A Griffon? Why zombies, Why goblins?

[Lisa] they all live around there

[Lisa] usual suspects

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Somebody needs to do some house cleaning!!!!

[Lisa] lol

[Fritz] Grolduk Groundsearcher no longer targets Branwyn.

[Fritz] Drayven Starmantle no longer targets Grolduk Groundsearcher.

[Master] Yes also Lisa you need to update Branwyn's spells after Fritz used them to test

Hoffman (JohnA)] we are the cleaners

[Master] but the two for your wagon are there now

Yug is receiving the map Dragon Fen farmlands...

Yug has received the map Dragon Fen farmlands.

[Master (to Carissa only)] TMO likes making more work for me

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (He's just a Paladin...I'm a NOBLE CAVALIER....)

[Lisa] why are the horses 20 times bigger than people

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to Master only)] you *could* have told me OOC what it was. :P

[Master] They are Larger than Man Sized

[Master] so icons are twice the size

[Yug] bigger targets for monsters

[Master] But I should check that are horses L or M

[Master] grins

[Master] so heading out in the morning

[Master] does Branwyn have any words for the group as they head out?

[Master] and I am right in thinking going to the Gnome Mining Village for the night?

[Master] or camping somewhere near?

Carissa is receiving the map Dragon Fen farmlands...

Carissa has received the map Dragon Fen farmlands.

[Master] any words for the group?

[Master] In Character?

[Lisa] don't die

[Master] grins

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (gonna fix myself a sammich real quick. don't die without me)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Don't die

Hoffman (JohnA)] For the last time we go to Skull Church

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (PTSD may now commence.)

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Not the last time

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] This time we go

Hoffman (JohnA)] Next time it will not be Skull Church

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I thought you were taking it over?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] are you sure?

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] (Groldukk isn't much on conversation unless he has been drinking - Bob has the pic and you can see he tends to look taciturn and dower

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] it seemed pretty skully to me last time

Hoffman (JohnA)] not to us

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Would be happy to salt the ground of that church.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] It is too bad that girl Jenny left, she could have told us if you need salt to make cheese in those caves

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] maybe that would be a good thing

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Penny darling

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Ahhhh

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jenny was the thief

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] sorry

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] a thief?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well an amateur

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] really? I thought she was the gypsy?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No she was pretending

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Ahhh

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] So we are not going to get any cheese in either case I guess

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Indigo was looking forward to it

[Jilly (Master)] Are you ready to go?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps when we get done we can go back to Redfern Lake and see how the cheese is coming along

[Jilly (Master)] We should get an early start

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are not going anywhere Mrs. Nevin

Jilly (Master) blinks

Jilly (Master) giggles

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Jilly (Master)] Ognorn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I like Nevin better

[Jilly (Master)] so do I

[Jilly (Master)] but we need to get going

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are protecting home and children who are there and those who are coming

[Branwyn (Lisa)] At the manor

[Jilly (Master)] Exactly

Brer Necholas (TMO) glances over toward Branwyn and Jilly. "Don't I recall something about a child coming?"

[Jilly (Master)] So we need to leave

Branwyn (Lisa) points at Jilly

[Jilly (Master)] Whistles

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jilly we won't get lost.

[Jilly (Master)] and Treble comes up to the edge of the moat

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I strongly advise not bringing an unborn child near a place of necromancy.

Jilly (Master) scratches her ear

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Don't make me get a priest to cast a hold spell on you

[Yug] yay its Treble

[Jilly (Master)] me hands her a treat of dried fish

[Jilly (Master)] We need to go

[Jilly (Master)] come on we will be late

Jilly (Master) heads out down the road to Otterville

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] First the girl, and now a pregnant lady? Is this how you normally enter dangerous situations, Blessed One?

[Master] To get map of The Craniate Wastes moved 2'08".

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] (who's pregnant?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jilly is not coming

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Jilly)

Brer Necholas (TMO) watches Jilly walk down the road. "She seems to disagree."

[Jilly (Master)] (Carissa or John can tell you who Jilly is)

Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Nevin! Come and restrain your wife.

Hoffman (JohnA)] (she is Jilly, of the class Jilly)

[Master] no answer from inside the Manor House

[Yug] aka silly jilly lol

[Master] it is two miles to Otterville

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let's go another way

[Master] Thistle?

[Master] you coming?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (sadly, not named for its anthropomorphic otters.)

[Carissa] Yes?

[Carissa] Small distraction right now, sorry.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Griff, heel.

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs and moves to follow Branwyn's group.

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0K5T0AqVlY

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

Griff (dog) (TMO) looks up from the bush he was smelling and trots over to Brer's side, tongue lolling out of his mouth.

[Master] so the group is not heading to Otterville but going towards Soggy Hollow?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes please)

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] (I'm following the group)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (operation confuse Jilly)

Jilly (Master) running up behind you

[Jilly (Master)] Hey

[Jilly (Master)] your appointment is in an hour!

[Jilly (Master)] We can't go wandering around

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Husband, can you tie Jilly to the nearest tree for me?

Skarphedin (Ryan) raises eyebrow.

Hoffman (JohnA)] what appointment?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] My appointment is at Skull Church

[Jilly (Master)] At the church

Hoffman (JohnA)] For Me?

[Jilly (Master)] No no

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is what Kenna does

[Jilly (Master)] yes she did that already

[Jilly (Master)] her and Mara

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have no plant blessings

[Jilly (Master)] you have to bless the farmers

[Jilly (Master)] tell them that you expect good things from them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Are they waiting?

[Jilly (Master)] yes

[Jilly (Master)] I told them you were going to be there this morning

[Jilly (Master)] did you think I was going to Skull Church with you?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It would be nice if you would tell me as well

[Jilly (Master)] You were leaving today so I set it up for today

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well ... you usually want to go

[Jilly (Master)] Of course I want to go

[Jilly (Master)] but if go now

[Jilly (Master)] then I will not be able to come save you

[Jilly (Master)] you really needed it last time

[Jilly (Master)] well they did

[Jilly (Master)] you were busy

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "That is true"

[Jilly (Master)] I should have been there

[Jilly (Master)] you need to have your words ready

[Jilly (Master)] make the farmers want to grow more things faster

Jilly (Master) leads the way whistling

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (hello!)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (hey Michael)

[mharm-95433] Hey everyone. Sorry forgot about daylight sav

[mharm-95433] I swore I'd be on tonight if it killed me...

[Carissa] (Hi Michael)

[mharm-95433] Hi :). Fair warning no idea what's going on but point and I’ll talk or kill

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And it just might. We're going back to Skull Church!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hi Michael! :)

[mharm-95433] Come again Lisa?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (wilkommen!)

[mharm-95433] Maybe should log out for tonight...

[Lisa] Skull Church Part Four

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

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Sigh

[Jilly (Master)] did you know that Paladins like bread?

[Jilly (Master)] A LOT

[Jilly (Master)] maybe not all paladins I am guessing

[Jilly (Master)] but you know

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] At least no one will die because of me specifically this time

[Jilly (Master)] when you give them a few hot rolls

[Jilly (Master)] they just keep taking them

[Jilly (Master)] and then with a bit of butter

[Jilly (Master)] it seems like they really do like that a lot

[Jilly (Master)] I wonder if it is because of the little crosses on the top?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Are we taking Jilly to save our butts?)

[Jilly (Master)] Or do you think that it is because they rise

[Jilly (Master)] and Paladins rise up a lot

[Jilly (Master)] they always seem to be up

[Jilly (Master)] LOL

[Jilly (Master)] I heard they have a stick up their butt

[Jilly (Master)] do you think that is true?

[Jilly (Master)] but anways

Hoffman (JohnA)] (we are taking her to get rid of her once and for all ;) )

[Jilly (Master)] they like a lot of bread

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well that one got a fork in his eye so maybe?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I think it's more to do with Sundown just really liking fresh rolls.

[Jilly (Master)] really a fork?

[Jilly (Master)] in his eye?

[Jilly (Master)] how did that happen?

[Thistle (Carissa)] That's what he told me!

Jilly (Master) looks up at Brer

[Jilly (Master)] A fork?

[Thistle (Carissa)] I think he was trying to throw it. Which wasn't smart. That's what daggers are for.

[Jilly (Master)] at least it was a big battle

[Jilly (Master)] with lots of things flying around right?

[Jilly (Master)] I bet he was attacked without his weapons

[Jilly (Master)] and so he had to use what was on the table

[Thistle (Carissa)] Bread?

[Jilly (Master)] maybe it was a knife against a fork

[Jilly (Master)] Brer grabbed the knife

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] No. Bread makes a terrible weapon.

[Jilly (Master)] and stabbed the other guy

[Jilly (Master)] who only had the fork

[Thistle (Carissa)] Even hot rolls? Sometimes they burn your hands.

[Jilly (Master)] and so it was not that bad for him

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Except for stale baguettes. They make excellent clubs.

[Jilly (Master)] hot cross buns

[Jilly (Master)] not rolls

Jilly (Master) looks up at Brer and suddenly laughs

[Jilly (Master)] I like you

[Thistle (Carissa)] I feel like if you were attacked by a mob of squirrels, bread would be a good weapon.

Brer Necholas (TMO) bows his head slightly toward her.

[Jilly (Master)] So Thistle are you really going with them?

[Jilly (Master)] you know that Shi will be really upset

[Jilly (Master)] are you sure you want to do that?

[Thistle (Carissa)] No but she's not here to be upset.

[Jilly (Master)] OH and Branwyn Johan left for Red Fern Lake and the barn will be done by the end of the week

[Jilly (Master)] did you want anything from Old Man Miller?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wonderful

[Jilly (Master)] and Jill sent along a frying pan

[Jilly (Master)] how many of those do you really need?

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Jilly (Master)] OH and Groduck,

[Jilly (Master)] are you really going with this group?

[Jilly (Master)] did Ilero say it was ok?

[Jilly (Master)] I mean if Lanek is here

[Jilly (Master)] I guess that means someone knows you are here

[Jilly (Master)] but are you sure you want to go do this?

[Jilly (Master)] are you brave enough?

[Jilly (Master)] Skarp your beard looks nice

Skarphedin (Ryan) grunts acknowledgement.

[Jilly (Master)] I brought some bear grease for your beard

[Jilly (Master)] you use that right?

Skarphedin (Ryan) eyes her warily, taking a step back.

[Jilly (Master)] it smells like you do

Jilly (Master) throws a small ceramic jar at him

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] And you smell like you need another dunk in the lake.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Skarphedin: DEX check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

[Jilly (Master)] Hoffman you are being really quiet are you still mad at Miranda?

Skarphedin (Ryan) leaps out of the way.

[(Master)] the jar falls to the ground (1d20) [1d20=19] 19 and

[(Master)] Does not break

Hoffman (JohnA)] How can I be mad at someone who is not here

[Jilly (Master)] we are going to be late

[Jilly (Master)] OH you can be mad at lots of people

[Jilly (Master)] look at Branwyn

Hoffman (JohnA)] I am walking as fast as you

[Jilly (Master)] she is mad about lots of people who are not here

[Master] and you not so quietly make your way up the path from the Manor House to Otterville

[Master] where Mara, Kenna and a group of farmers is outside in the town square in front of the church

[Jilly (Master)] We made it

[Jilly (Master)] Here she is

Kenna Westfoot (Master) smiles

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs

[Master] The inn serves as the heart of the village, a place for gathering and sharing all that is good in life. It is a tall building two story building and sturdy. The church across the plaza is imposing, three stories tall.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (wilkommen everybody (again if needed))

Lisa has left the game on Fri Mar 13 20:13:23 EDT 2020

[Carissa] (it'll catch up to him)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning! Thank you for coming.

[Fritz] sorry it froze

[Master] crowd cheers

[Master] Bran Win

[Master] Bran Win

[Master] Bran Win

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I will leave the blessings to Aunt Kenna and Mara who have better connections to the gods than I.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Popular Gal :) No Pressure )

[Spring] that's a really good cheer

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (While you were gone, an assassin stabbed Branwyn. She took a wound saving a civilian, and will die in 5 days.)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (/me puts on In Living Color's Cult of Personality)

[Spring] oh noes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But I will say that every single one of you has been instrumental in making Dragon Fen a success and a home.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (What the hell? God. I gotta go read after tonight. Jeeze)

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FKv5QLa8q8

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (The only antidote is the heart's blood of an annoying girl who throws bear grease at dwarves)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am proud of us all and know that this year's crops will be bountiful

[Talwin (mharm-95433) (to Ryan only)] is Lisa retiring bran?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I know that there has been threats of late, but be assured that we are going right now to make sure you all will be safe

[Fritz] (great big tracts of bounty)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Sorry, I should stop telling filthy lies.... at least, until people learn to tune me out.)

[Fritz] (ehhh...Say what?)

[Spring] (usually you make them over the top enough to identify)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (and we'd have been there faster if we hadn't been shanghaied to come blather you peasants)

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPX-mW4l1rU

[Spring] (but Branwyn has actually been on a death deadline before hehehe)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I thought that Jilly's heartsblood would be the clincher, but I might have sprung that a little late in the narrative.)

[Fritz] I am back at the keyboard.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Classic bob :)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (she's pregnant and can't bleed at the moment)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I’m going to put that on in the background

[Master] Bran Win

[Master] Bran Win

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So I will let the proper blessings be bestowed on you for good crops and happy homes for you all

[Master] Bran Win

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Branwyn, Branwyn

Drayven Starmantle (Fritz) joins in the cheering

[Snezana (Spring)] Bran Win!! Bran Win!!

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles and nods "thank you!"

Jilly (Master) beaming

Talwin (mharm-95433) Claps enthusiastically

[Jilly (Master)] You did good

[Jilly (Master)] much better than last year

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Practice

[Jilly (Master)] and we won't talk about two years ago when you threw up on them

[Jilly (Master)] but you were pregnant so they understood

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) applauds

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, let's not

[Jilly (Master)] we need to leave

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes we do.

[Jilly (Master)] we need to get to travelers way

Branwyn (Lisa) waves and smiles and steps away

[Jilly (Master)] Uncle Foto are you going to Mistgarden?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Snezana, do not take any foolish chances this time.

Jilly (Master) walking

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] not today

[Jilly (Master)] Looking up at Branwyn

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Come back with all of your parts and be ready to help me in the hospital. yes?

Brer Necholas (TMO) stays toward the back of the group of travelers, remaining less visible to the crowds.

[Jilly (Master)] Did you know if you sail a boat you can go from Otterville all the way to Mistgarden now

[Jilly (Master)] or way back to Foriso

Snezana (Spring) rolls eyes

[Jilly (Master)] of course it has to be a little boat

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] it is a good thing

[Jilly (Master)] but I think Treble is teaching the kids to swim better

[Jilly (Master)] so soon they will be able to make it the whole way

[Jilly (Master)] there was some deer last week

[Jilly (Master)] I think they wandered out of the Woods

[Jilly (Master)] I wonder where Ancien is?

[Jilly (Master)] I have not seen him yet this year

[Jilly (Master)] he always wakes up by this time

[Jilly (Master)] do you think we should wake him up?

[Jilly (Master)] I think I will make a cake for him

[Jilly (Master)] acorns

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Wakes up 'this time of year'?

Jilly (Master) looks over at Brer,

[Jilly (Master)] He takes long naps

[Jilly (Master)] he said he slept for two years once

[Jilly (Master)] I do not believe him

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think you should let Ancien wake up by himself

Brer Necholas (TMO) looks over at Sun curiously, silently asking him if he knows anything.

[Jilly (Master)] what do you think he wants in his cake

[Thistle (Carissa)] Lots and lots of water. You get really thirsty after a long nap.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Beer.

[Jilly (Master)] OH

[Jilly (Master)] Skarp!

[Jilly (Master)] you make beer

[Jilly (Master)] all dwarves love beer

[Jilly (Master)] so you much make it

[Jilly (Master)] can you do that for me?

[Jilly (Master)] Thank you so much!

[Jilly (Master)] That will be great

[Jilly (Master)] I will get the barrels ready for you

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] We live underground.... we make our beer out of lichen and mushrooms.

[Jilly (Master)] when you come back you can start

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I suppose that I could make some, but every time I make my family recipe, humans have a tendency to vomit.

[Jilly (Master)] So Indigo will like it a lot

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs, carefully keeping a straight face.

[Master] Time of Day: 10:00 AM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Din {Mid Spring} 7th, 349 SKR.

[Master] Time of Day: 11:00 AM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Din {Mid Spring} 7th, 349 SKR.

[Master] you wander along the path quietly

[Master] (HAH)

[Master] and come to Travelers Way

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (clinkity clank)

[Jilly (Master)] Hoffman

[Jilly (Master)] you are in charge

Hoffman (JohnA)] well, I thought we were in a hurry

Hoffman (JohnA)] does anyone need anything

[Jilly (Master)] We were

[Jilly (Master)] I wanted to get here so I can go back home

[Jilly (Master)] I have to get barrels ready for Skarp

[Jilly (Master)] I have to make a cake for Ancien

[Jilly (Master)] I have to find treats for Nevin

Hoffman (JohnA)] you should talk to Taee, she can help then see you home

Skarphedin (Ryan) tugs at his beard in agitation.

[Jilly (Master)] he always wants to hear what is happening out in the Estate

[Jilly (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yub3-Ow7tBs

[Jilly (Master)] You will be careful?

Jilly (Master) goes over to Indigo

Jilly (Master) pulls out a spoon

Hoffman (JohnA)] (duck)

[Jilly (Master)] You will be safe

[Indigo (Lisa)] This isn't one of the safe adventures

[Jilly (Master)] You need to be

[Jilly (Master)] Branwyn will be very upset if you get hurt

[Indigo (Lisa)] You know me. I'm always fine

Jilly (Master) whispers I packed extra deserts in the wagon for you

[Indigo (Lisa)] You should worry more about Branwyn than me

Jilly (Master) WACKS him with a spoon

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ohhhh thanks!

[Jilly (Master)] You are the one to worry about

[Indigo (Lisa)] OUCH!

[Snezana (Spring)] (aaawwwwwww)

[Jilly (Master)] Branwyn will be fine

[Jilly (Master)] You need to stay safe

Jilly (Master) shakes her head

[Jilly (Master)] Branwyn needing help

Jilly (Master) looks up at Branwyn

[Jilly (Master)] D & D will be wanting stories

[Jilly (Master)] I need to go

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Give me a hug first

Jilly (Master) smiles

[Jilly (Master)] HUGS tight

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You tell the kids I was trying to protect them if ... if it doesn't go well

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Take care of yourself

Jilly (Master) looks up and shakes her head

[Jilly (Master)] If I have to save you again

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We'll be home as soon as we can

Jilly (Master) smiles

[Jilly (Master)] Go

Jilly (Master) threatens with the spoon

Jilly (Master) tap tap tap on the wagon as she walks back towards Otterville

[Master] wanders down the road leaving you in town

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (So we are going with like. Healing potions and the such this time right? Also if we get level drained, I'll flip. So, you know. Turn undead would be helpful....)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we have 2 "super" healing potions - whatever that means)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (We should be going with an army and like an apothecary shop...)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we are)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] LOL

[Snezana (Spring)] (what he said)

[Master] The last bit of civilization here

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Sorry. I am so paranoid right now)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.PartyPack

[Master] and then off into The Wastes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (look at all the icons on the map - we are an army)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (I know I know. Any idea how we want to handle the griffins at the front door this time?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Wear blue)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we are all wearing blue so how we handle the griffon should be our choice)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Right. Thank you. Again. Sorry if already discussed I just hate when we have the "bad" nights)

[Snezana (Spring)] (I’m having to cuddle on the dog. work from home is hard on her because I have to pay attention to computer instead of herself

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] What does blue and a griffon have to do with each other?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (they are trained not to attack the color blue)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] So are we wearing Blue tabards?

[Ryan] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes)

Brer Necholas (TMO) has exchanged his normal rough cloak for one of blue.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (put blue blankets for the horses)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I put a blue tabard on my horse and Grolduk does so on Omen

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Puts on blue just in case

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] We have a blue covered wagon

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs and puts on blue.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ugkg9RePc

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (Of course I hope they haven't retrained them)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (blue are the streets and all the trees are too)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (See link lol)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (thank you Fritz)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hehehehe)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (Or exchanged them for griffons that attack blue)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (brb)

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0fk5L1ifbo

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Beat you TMO. LOL

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (What if they exchanged them with colorblind griffons?)

[Snezana (Spring)] (then we die stylish)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Perhaps we should stop gibing bob ideas huh?)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (Hides a green set in his back pack just in case)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Jokes on you...the Dragon goes after green...)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (Bob figured out how to fuck us with this while he was sleeping)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I woke up in the middle of the night last night from a dream, which I promptly thought "this is a D&D adventure". took me so long to write down notes I woke up too much to go back to sleep)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] LOL

[Snezana (Spring)] (hehehehe)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (That's why you should do what I do)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (I have a video camera that is small enough to go in my ear. I turn it on while I sleep so all the good dreams are recorded)

[Master] LOL

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (that would be handy)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (nice)

[Snezana (Spring)] (snort)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] BRB gonna get some scotch

[Master] so heading out into the Wastes

[Master] the last time you went this way

Hoffman (JohnA)] (tape?)

[Master] you found badgers

[Master] this time you have a better idea of what direction to go in if you are heading to the mining village

Hoffman (JohnA)] ev erybody keep any eye out

[Master] Time of Day: 12:00 PM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Din {Mid Spring} 7th, 349 SKR.

[Master] Time of Day: 12:15 PM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Din {Mid Spring} 7th, 349 SKR.

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] and who wants to make the first rolls

[Thistle (Carissa)] (d20) [1d20=11] 11

[Master] grins

[Master] To get map of The Craniate Wastes moved 1'03".

[Thistle (Carissa)] (is this when I say BRB...? ;) )

[Master] the sky is misty

[Thistle (Carissa)] (surprise)

[Master] a bit of rain failing

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] BUH, BUH, BACK

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] SHIT LEFT MY GLASSES....brb

[Master] Michael? this is your specialty

[Master] heading out over the open Wastes

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Rolling?

Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Or Casting Lightning?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Cause one of them most definitely was not....

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] BUH, BUH, BACK

Hoffman (JohnA)] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=7] 7

[Master (to JohnA only)] Hoffman does spot a large flying shape off to the north

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (What a shitty specialty)

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) raises hand and points to the north

[(Spring)] Lanek: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 17!!

Hoffman (JohnA)] ssssssshhhh

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Talwin: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Sigh. Why do I bother

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (LOL)

[(Fritz)] Grolduk Groundsearcher: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Dear god. We are all going to die

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (sorry, Brer is not observant like Ilero)

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) quietly walks through partying getting them to stop and points to the north sky

[Thistle (Carissa)] (It's the one eye thing)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] What is it?

[Snezana (Spring)] (and nobody but Branwyn will see it coming)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Thank you Lisa. Was about to say this trip was cursed)

Branwyn (Lisa) follows what Hoffman was indicating

[Thistle (Carissa)] (and Hoffman)

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) quietly not sure yet

Hoffman (JohnA)] Indigo, you have the glass thing?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yup

Indigo (Lisa) hands it to Hoffman

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) looks at shape through glass

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (pulls out his lance, and it's a lot)

[Master (to JohnA only)] it looks like a wyvern a few miles north of the mining village

Hoffman (JohnA)] 9Is it made I=of Bass? )

Hoffman (JohnA)] (is it made of Bass?)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (Is it bigger than a breadbox?)

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) hands glass to Branwyn

[Master (to JohnA only)] not a dragon a wyvern

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (it is not bigger than a breadbox that holds stale baguettes)

Lanek (Spring) sighs heavily

Hoffman (JohnA)] it's a Wyvern

Branwyn (Lisa) takes it and looks

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) watches for movement, direction and speed

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] May I take a look Lady Branwyn?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Certainly

[Master (to Lisa only)] looks like a wyvern flying a few miles north of the gnome mining village

Branwyn (Lisa) hands the glass over

[Master (to Fritz only)] looks like a wyvern flying a few miles north of the gnome mining village

Hoffman (JohnA)] permission to run ahead

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Looks likes it’s a ways north of the gnome village

Drayven Starmantle (Fritz) peers through looking glass...It appears to be a wyvern flying up ahead a few miles...(Can I tell which direction it is heading bob?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You want to run and kill it yourself?

[Master] It looks to be circling

Skarphedin (Ryan) sharpens his axe.

Hoffman (JohnA)] or at least warn village

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Hrmm....It is circling, so either prey or predator...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's where we were planning to sleep tonight

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Any chance of guarding? They have a badger guard. Doesn't mean they can find more things to guard them)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (is it flying around the village?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You can go ahead if you like but it looked north of the village to me

[Master] Looks to be two miles or so north of the village

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We'll get there soon

[Master] only with a lucky roll you spotted it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps this wyvern has replaced the griffon

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Sigh

[Master] and the spyglass to see exactly what it was

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I agree with Lady Branwyn... Let’s be cautious rather than reckless in our approach...

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to Master only)] Does Sundown have any ranged weapons, or just hand-to-hand?

[Master (to TMO only)] only hand to hand

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] It could very well be a female circling someone threatening her eggs, or her trying to find lunch...

Hoffman (JohnA)] then we will continue

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (the wyvern tribe heard the one that got away was coming. But jokes on them - we left him at home)

[Master] To get map of The Craniate Wastes moved 1'02".

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) takes lead and picks up the pace

[Master] Time of Day: 01:00 PM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Din {Mid Spring} 7th, 349 SKR.

[Lanek (Spring)] for once the sane choice seems to be the favorite. maybe there's more brain here than any other random group of chuckheads

[Master] Hoffman can make an observation check

Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Lanek (Spring)] test

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Since I am on horseback I will move just a few yard ahead and keep an eye on it with the spyglass

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs at Lanek

[Thistle (Carissa)] (yes)

[Master] OK

[Thistle (Carissa)] (to Spring)

[Master] so Drayven can make an observation check

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] While I watch it, others look to see if there is anything else around

[Lanek (Spring)] (OMFG)

[Lanek (Spring)] (getting really frustrated with the lag)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I would if I had it, but I took direction sense and alertness instead

[Master] OK

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] That's why I asked others to watch

[Master] but you are up front

[Master] so

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he can be alert)

[Master] I will say your horse has a 25% chance of avoiding

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Didn't say I was the smartest...

[Master] roll a d100 and get under 25

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] What about alertness

Hoffman (JohnA)] (I tried to take lead, but you stole it)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (does the horse have obs?)

[Master] chuckles

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I have riding land based so maybe I can use that in a clutch

[Master] first let us see what happens with the horse

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Drayven Starmantle [1d100]: (1d100) [1d100=30] 30

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so close)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I read that as "Does the horse have abs")

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] So close

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (oh my)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Yes he has strong abs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (does Snee have any animal spells?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Nooope you've lived there too long. It gets inside the blood, you know?)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Hopefully someone is looking up a spell to sleep, charm, silence,...

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (yeehaw)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Animal Handling. Does no one have that?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (TMO takes a knife. "GET IT OUT")

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I can pull a Mongo if we need)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (A successful animal handling roll works just as well as a spell)

[Lanek (Spring)] (looking, is it out of the hole?)

[Lanek (Spring)] dhdhdhsjhsj

[Master] the horse is back up on solid ground with all four legs in tact

[Indigo (Lisa)] You all right Drayven?

Fritz easy girl...easy...Hands spyglass to Branwyn while he checks his horse...

Brer Necholas (TMO) steps back out of the way.

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Yes...thanks

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas moved 17'00".

Branwyn (Lisa) takes the spyglass back and looks for the wyvern

Sundown (Master) looks at Lanek

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Take a look and see if we attracted the attention of the Wyvern while I check to see what is going on with this hole

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

[Sundown (Master)] Why did you not try to help them?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (he was drinking java)

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

[Sundown (Master)] All of the other men rushed forward to help

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[JohnA] (nice)

Lanek (Spring) shrugs

[Lanek (Spring)] what use would I be?

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Looks at the hole in the ground

[Sundown (Master)] (Drayven can make an intuition check)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Is it a damn badger hole?

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Drayven Starmantle: INT check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Lanek (Spring)] you want me to pick the horse's pockets, princess, I’m your guy

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (INU)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Nope it's a Bullette hole...

Sundown (Master) points to Talwin he was not any use but he tried to help

[mharm-95433] (Uh. Thanks?)

[Sundown (Master)] (Sundown is a male)

[Lanek (Spring)] (and princess is a slur)

[mharm-95433] (He knows)

[Sundown (Master)] (grins)

Sundown (Master) shrugs

[Thistle (Carissa)] It doesn't have any pockets to pick. I already looked.

[Sundown (Master)] I guess I know who to count on

Lanek (Spring) trying not to grin

[Lanek (Spring)] bin-GO!

Lanek (Spring) points at Sundown

[Lanek (Spring)] scuse me, I gotter find a chamber pot ...

[Master] and Fritz waiting on the Intuition check

Lanek (Spring) stalks off into the bushes

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I did...I failed royally so I called a bullette hole

[Master] you rolled Int not Inu

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (that was Intelligence)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Drayven Starmantle: INU check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 8!!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (now it's a Bull hole)

[Master] Ok so yeah Drayven has no clue

[Ryan] (lol)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Yep...It's a Gopher hole...Damn the gophers are big here

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I know what it is

[Lanek (Spring)] (hahahah)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] How can you say I don't?

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] It's a damn giant gopher

Griff (dog) (TMO) sniffs the horse and the edge of the hole.

Master makes a note on giant gophers and if they carry the black plague

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Since we are coming on to the mining village. Perhaps one of the mines was unstable

Lanek (Spring) comes out of the bushes tying his drawstrings

[Griff (dog) (TMO)] (no, but they can tell your fortune)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Just don't sniff the horses butt

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) continues on the way

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what did Branwyn see in spyglass?)

[Lanek (Spring)] (I thought it was the wyvern)

[Master] the Wyvern circling to the north

Griff (dog) (TMO) growls briefly at the hole then trots happily back over to Brer.

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] So now he is more careful and lets someone else look

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] Uncle Fotopoulos: Detect Unsafe Wall, Ceiling & Floor check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so no change after the accident?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (k thx)

[Master] Foto spots three more holes scattered up ahead

Branwyn (Lisa) puts the spyglass down

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The wyvern is still circling

[Master] can trace out the Z path between them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We don't seem to have gotten its attention

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] /watch for holes there, there and there

[mharm-95433] (Careful, we need the minesweeper up here)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Gotcha....Thanks

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you Uncle Foto

[Master] To get map of The Craniate Wastes moved 1'01".

[Master] To get map of The Craniate Wastes moved 1'08".

Brer Necholas (TMO) takes a look as he passes by. Any way to tell if they were dug by tool or claw, or just collapsed naturally from underneath?

[Master] not by Brer

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (didn't think so)

[Ryan] (But Skarp probably could, no?)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] GOPHER I tell ya....DAMN GIANT GOPHER!!!! I know my holes dag nabbit

[Master] yes

[Ryan] I am back at the keyboard.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I bet you know your holes....)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] ;)

[Master] or even Gruduck

Skarphedin (Ryan) glances at Drayven in bemusement, then walks over to the hole.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (INU, correct? Or would I use something else?)

[Master] any dwarven proficiency

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (drinkin)

[Master] lol

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Skarphedin: Dwarf Runes check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!

[Master] lol

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Texas dwarves)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] *especially that one)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (lol)

Drayven Starmantle (Fritz) ponders the meaning of that...Does he mean I know my own holes in my body, or I am knowledgeable about holes in general...believes the latter and smiles

[mharm-95433] LOL

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Skarphedin: Detect New Tunnel or Passage Construction check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

[Lanek (Spring)] (oooh good one)

[Master (to Ryan only)] yes this is carved out of the rock around it with a hidden matt of woven reeds and dirt to camouflage it

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Definitely a gopher hole!

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (kidding, sorry..)

[Master (to Ryan only)] is meant to trap and keep not go anywhere

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] HAH!!!! SEE I TOLD YOU!!!

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Sorry, Drayven, but this is no gopher hole. It was a trap

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

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] BRB

Drayven Starmantle (Fritz) smiles and moves out of hearing distance of Skarphedin as he explains it to everyone

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] You can tell from these reeds here, that have been woven.

Skarphedin (Ryan) points out the mat of reeds.

[Lanek (Spring)] for a second there I though the human with the fairy name was right

Thistle (Carissa) inches closer to hear Skarp

[Thistle (Carissa)] So that's what a trap looks like...

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Hey did I hear you mention reeds? Yep Gophers eat reeds...DAMN I'M GOOD!!!

Drayven Starmantle (Fritz) walks further away

Snezana (Spring) looks closer

[Thistle (Carissa)] Um, I mean, this kind of trap. I know all about them. Yep.

Skarphedin (Ryan) glances at Drayven in confusion.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Maybe he hit his head when the horse fell?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I truly hope so...

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

[Thistle (Carissa)] (For a second I read that as hye hit.... sadness)

Snezana (Spring) squints at Skarp

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Back

Drayven Starmantle (Fritz) from a distance smiles at Skarphedin and gives him a thumbs up!!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (lol)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Carp haven)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Glug glug)

[Thistle (Carissa)] So... why are there traps here?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] To protect the gnome village

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I believe goblins have been mentioned for this region?

[Master] Brer has an accent subtle but it is there

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would suspect

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Gophers do it to waylay travelers, because they like to eat carrots

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] The goblins were past the gnome village the last time we came through here

[Lanek (Spring)] or bandits

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] or elves.

[Lanek (Spring)] trap you here, take your goods

[Lanek (Spring)] maybe take your lives

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "Hopefully just gnomish made then."

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Hrm...Gopher bandits?!?!? Interesting!!!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Okay, it was just that ONE time and you fell for it so that's your fault, Skarp.

Skarphedin (Ryan) glowers.

[Thistle (Carissa)] And I'm not saying which one it was, but it was definitely not Shi. Pretty sure.

Skarphedin (Ryan) grumbles darkly.

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] When I get back I 'm going to put out a reward for the capture of any gopher bandits in this area!!! How dare they harm my horse!!! THEY SHALL RUE THE DAY!!!!

[Snezana (Spring)] well, we've got that figured out, so can we go?

[Thistle (Carissa)] And I promise I didn't accidently lure you there for fun and Shi yelled at me later because that wasn't its purpose.

[Thistle (Carissa)] So... yeah. Gnomes! Let's go say hi!

Brer Necholas (TMO) murmurs to Sun, ""Rue the day"?"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes. Let's take it slowly and carefully

Talwin (mharm-95433) Looks pained, as if his soul is leaving his body during the course of this conversation

[Sundown (Master)] I think it is a color

Brer Necholas (TMO) looks even more confused now.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA) staying focused

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm remembering why we tend to travel alone again.

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] /ME wonders how the HELL he lost a trivia question bet to Drayven!!!

[Sundown (Master)] It is quieter with only your thoughts

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] .me wonders how the HELL he lost a trivia question bet to Drayven!!!

Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz) wonders how the HELL he lost a trivia question bet to Drayven!!!

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] (yay...finally)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (/me applauds! )

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] (Third times a charm)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] lol

[Thistle (Carissa)] (except with Skull church)

[Snezana (Spring)] (ha!)

[Master] So Foto leads you through the small maze of pits

[Master] and you come out on the other side

[Master] close to the gnome mining village

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yay Foto!)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Do you know how loud you all are?

[Master] Time of Day: 02:00 PM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Din {Mid Spring} 7th, 349 SKR.

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] Good job Frodo

[Master] Time of Day: 03:00 PM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Din {Mid Spring} 7th, 349 SKR.

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "Very aware, yes."

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] sadly, yes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You wouldn't want us sneaking up on you, would you?

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) surpasses a chuckle

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] If I could have kept them quiet I would have..

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good day to you Master Hornbeak

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Welcome Countess Branwyn the Mysterious Branadarus

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Man of Mystery

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Brandabust!?!?! That's mighty forward of you don't you think

Lanek (Spring) steps back and into the surroundings

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes you are.

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Sure she has a nice figure, but don't speak to Mylady in such manner if you don't mind

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] She is after all betrothed

[Thistle (Carissa)] Umm, she's married, actually.

[Snezana (Spring)] she's worse than betrothed, she's married

Drayven Starmantle (Fritz) pulls off his helmet and shakes dirt out of his ears...

Thistle (Carissa) laughs at Snee's remark

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] She's worse than married, she's pregnant

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] DAggum...I thought things were muffled...

[Snezana (Spring)] she's worse than pregnant, she's a mom

[Thistle (Carissa)] No no that's a different one. Unless you're having a third??

Brer Necholas (TMO) lays a gauntleted hand on Griff's neck.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope not!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh good. I would have had to think of new flower names for you.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] a third?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] we have a boy and a girl what would a third be?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Master Hornbeak may we trouble you for a place to pass the night?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (A puppy?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] A cheesemaker? You seem to really want cheese.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] That was Penny

[Thistle (Carissa)] Who?

Hoffman (JohnA)] can we talk about the flying threat now?

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) looks to the north

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Excuse me master Hornbeak...what can you tell us about the goings on with that Wyvern in the sky

Hoffman (JohnA)] unless that is a friend of yours too?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Which what?

Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) cranes his neck around

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] looking

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] I do not see anything

Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]]: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Here. Look through this

Lanek (Spring) still slinking about in the surroundings

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Lady Branwyn maybe you can give him the spyglass

Hoffman (JohnA)] oh crap, I lost it

[Indigo (Lisa)] Just put your eye here ...

MarioHome has received the map Dragon Fen farmlands.

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] MARIO!

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Mario!!! Hello!)

Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) takes the spyglass

Hoffman (JohnA)] (rubs eyes)

[MarioHome] (HiYa All)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Hello!)

Hoffman (JohnA)] (Oh Hai Mario)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Looks all around in the sky back and forth

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Hi Mario!

[Indigo (Lisa)] See it?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (wilkommen!)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Uh sorry. Dogs again. BRB

[MarioHome] (Just a quick Hello and to collect your COVID-19 tests for analyses

[Indigo (Lisa)] Big flying lizard?

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Snezana (Spring)] (hi Mario!)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] No

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Hi Mario!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] let me find it

[MarioHome] (Hi Hi)

Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) hands back the spyglass

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (It should be easy for us to see Bob shouldn't it?)

Indigo (Lisa) looks in spyglass for wyvern

[MarioHome] (Wont derail, just a quick Hi)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (you needed a successful Observation check AND the spy glass to tell what it was

[MarioHome] (see ya all soon!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Does this now qualify for most people online at once in years?)

MarioHome has left the game on Fri Mar 13 22:03:19 EDT 2020

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (stay Mario they can use you )

[Thistle (Carissa)] (awww....lost so quickly)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that was too fast)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Even this close and when we know what to look for?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummm .... I can't find it either. Maybe it went away?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (you only have come another mile or so and it is only a Wyvern)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh Indigo.

Branwyn (Lisa) takes the spyglass and looks

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] back

[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) (to Lisa only)] there is no wyvern flying right now, it has also been a almost 2 hours from the last time you saw it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well. The wyvern has moved.

Branwyn (Lisa) puts the glass down

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is no longer circling if that is a comfort

Brer Necholas (TMO) looks straight up.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But we have no idea where it went

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Maybe it is the dragon that is guarding the horde out north

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (Bob how long did it take us to get here from when we left the holes?

Hoffman (JohnA)] horde of what?

Hoffman (JohnA)] Goblins?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It has been about two hours

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (a bit less than 45 minutes)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you said 2 hours)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Master Hornbeak...Are you sure no one else has seen this creature we are talking about?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (2 hours from the beginning of the holes, Foto led you through the maze of them, it takes a bit and you are about 45 minutes past that maze)

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Oh there are stories about a dragon guarding a horde north of here

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (yes that is how he pronounces it)

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] A horde of what?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) (to TMO only)] Brer knows of a couple of battle sites from one of the earlier civil wars that are north of here

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] And when you say "Horde", do you mean a small horde or a big HORDE?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] There are always hordes out there

[Snezana (Spring)] teeming hordes

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Hordes of cattle or monsters?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (and in my accent, horde and hoard sound identical. I don't know how your accents render them)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (deleted that link from Court of Thanes)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Hordes seem to come and go

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] but they always return

Hoffman (JohnA)] well they are too close for comfort

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Master Hornbeak...You continue to neglect to say what these hordes are composed of...Please elucidate

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] goblins

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] you don't know anything?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] goblins

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] zombies

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I'm not from this area sir

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] lizard men when it is really bad

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] hordes come and go

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] we stay

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Years ago there was a hobgoblin horde

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] they went into the Woods

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] never heard from them again

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (Lisa? )

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Very admirable. The strength and stubbornness of gnome warrens is well known.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes but would rather not discuss)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (ok)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (that sends Carissa scrambling to the archive)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] LOL

[Thistle (Carissa)] (do what and why?)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] So you can stay with us of course

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (That's why we have them right?)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] yet there is no space for those things, points at the horses

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] will you need help guarding them?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh no. We will watch them. No need to trouble you.

Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) nods

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] You will stay with my family of course

Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA) heads inside

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] OH is star quartz here?

Branwyn (Lisa) whispers "watch your heads"

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] He was really good at hide the coin

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I never found the gold piece I gave him

Thistle (Carissa) quietly, "It's so tiny here! I like it!"

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) sits on side of hill , watching the sky

Brer Necholas (TMO) follows, ducking into the entrance with practiced ease. Griff follows at his heels.

Skarphedin (Ryan) glares. "It's not tiny.... well, too tiny. You are just abnormally large."

[Thistle (Carissa)] Abnormally? I was told I was growing normally...

Lanek (Spring) emerges from the shadows and bends down to go in after

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I read that as abominably large)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Trying to stay body-positive.)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (abdominably large? did you just call her fat?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (She seems to be calling everyone fat lately)

[Master] or old

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hey that was Ryan this time!)

[Master] grins

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Don't lie, you can't prove that it was me)

[Master] lol

[Master] Carissa you know you have to put that one in

[Lanek (Spring)] (hahahah)

[Master] so two groups, one in the warren warm and safe

Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]] moved 60'00".

[Master] the other out up top guarding the wagon and horses

Hoffman (JohnA)] Uncle Fotopoulos moved 49'10".

[Master] who is in which group?

[Master] Branwyn and Tiberius are underground

Hoffman (JohnA)] Lord Tiberius moved 28'07".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Snee and Foto cast so they go under too)

Hoffman (JohnA)] Branwyn moved 59'01".

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I can go where high risk

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I want to help

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thistle underground)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Tell us where you want us.

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Grolduk is outside, Drayven is outside

[Master] Snezana moved 47'06".

Hoffman (JohnA)] Talwin moved 47'07".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Dray's horse so he goes up)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Yup quote quoted)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] That's the question isn't it. Where is high risk? I guess with Bran

Hoffman (JohnA)] Drayven Starmantle moved 45'10".

[Master] Horse, Dray's moved 35'10".

[Lanek (Spring)] (Lanek already went inside)

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs, uncaring where he stays.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Thistle likes warmth)

[Master] Horse #1 moved 66'04".

[Master] Horse #2 moved 56'07".

Hoffman (JohnA)] Grolduk Groundsearcher moved 49'05".

Hoffman (JohnA)] Lanek moved 55'08".

Snezana (Spring) crouches and goes inside

Hoffman (JohnA)] Thistle moved 51'04".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Indigo can help guard)

[Master] Omen moved 94'11".

Hoffman (JohnA)] Indigo moved 72'08".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Howard will go underground)

Hoffman (JohnA)] Howard Plum moved 58'09".

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qga12-bAS4A

[JohnA] did I see the Paladin go inside?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (1 more on top and there will be 2 per watch)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (he did go inside, but doesn't have to stay there)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (and we do have 2 paladins)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I can go on top)

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

[JohnA] hard to tell them apart

[JohnA] Skarphedin moved 55'08".

[JohnA] they have the same picture

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (he hasn't loaded my pics yet. no biggie)

[Master] Which goes where?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Sundown's portrait has been revealed, Brer is just bearded guy under a hood)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Yea load our pics

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Yea load our pics

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Bran - do you want to put up with Brer or Sundown with you?)

[Master] lol

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] hehehe

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (doesn't matter)

[Thistle (Carissa)] A flip of the ol' kLoOge.Coin results in: Heads

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (or eject us both into the cold inhospitable night?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (why don't we both stay outside)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Never called which before I flipped welp)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (frees up more space inside)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (That's fine. We're going to have a nice, peaceful sleep no troubles, wake up and be happy in just a minute or two)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (....)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Where's some wood to knock on?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Although if it does matter, only one fighter is inside, but I'd think they'd be less concerned than out in the open)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (she is descended from a fortune teller. I believe her)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thistle: Fortune Telling check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 13!!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (never mind - she's lying)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahaha)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

[Master] Sundown moved 71'01".

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 25'04".

[Master] Griff (dog) moved 56'06".

[JohnA] now watches

[JohnA] [Hoffman]] moved 31'02".

[JohnA] 1st

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Sundown on 1st, Brer on either of the other two)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (have to put him on the sun down watch)

[Master] those inside first

[Master] Snezana moved 4'08".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Indigo on 3rd)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Thistle wherever)

[JohnA] Uncle Fotopoulos moved 7'03".

[Thistle (Carissa)] (First I guess)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I can take first

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Or share

[JohnA] Foto on 1

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] grolduk has excellent night vision so he can go when it is the darkest

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (that's 2nd)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we have watches inside?)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] SO Branwyn

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] it is good to have you here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you for having us.

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] I understand you intend to go to Skull Church and deal with the zombies

[JohnA] oh, then put Hoffman on 3rd, I will be passing out now, enjoy

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes and whatever else is lurking there these days

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (yes Snee, Thistle Lanek, Foto are there along with Lisa's)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Night, John!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Goodnight John!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Night ohn!)

JohnA has left the game on Fri Mar 13 22:34:12 EDT 2020

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Just how much do you intend to do?

[Thistle (Carissa)] However much we need to do!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I intend to take care of the zombies and the people that are making them

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] are you planning on building a road?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] it would be much easier to get our goods to market

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] if there was a road

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would like to yes

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] that would be a good start

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I agree

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But first we must clear the church out

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (From the D&D Book, roads are effing expensive!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we can afford it)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] If you do succeed in clearing the church

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We will

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (Hence the title...Lady Warbucks

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] we could arrange to set up a postal service for your messengers

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am not sure if we can come to an arrangement with the goblins

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] We can avoid goblins

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] that is why you pay us

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "That would be very nice"

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Does she have a song number with Orphan Jilly?)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (The sun will come out tomorrow)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Qui Fen to Skull Church and all places in between

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] What about the Woods?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The woods shall remain as they are

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They protect us and we them.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I shall not do damage to Valoris Woods

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Your people complained about us stealing their wood

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well you don't get that wood. Nobody does.

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (remember that would be Cypress Borough and REgets Field to the east )

[Thistle (Carissa)] (well never mind then)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] ( I will give Branwyn an Intuition check)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: INU check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she needs one)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) (to Lisa only)] the villagers complained about the gnomes stealing the wood they harvested, but that was ten miles east, nowhere near this mining village or the enclave near Valoris so there must be a group of gnomes that you do not know about yet out there somewhere

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (test)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] yep

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry - trying to get this)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (s'okay)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) (to Lisa only)] the gnome fishing village

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We had complaints from our villagers so we responded

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But that was not your village was it?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Not here no

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Are there other gnome villages in this area?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Why do you ask?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well if it was not your village but our people said gnomes were taking wood, then another gnome village would make sense

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Would it not?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Yes that makes sense

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] but we are not taking wood

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (If you remember Shi concluded it was a spell that created the wood)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I do know that now.

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (Carissa do you remember?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I was trying to block the building out)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (grins)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (uhhh vaguely... isn't that why she casted her own?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (wait yes I remember that convo which did inspire her own casting)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (Fritz, can you guess what happened back then?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So if we wanted to find this other village, it would be east of here instead of the direction of Skull Church perhaps?

Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) nods thoughtfully

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (I really need to do some researching for this story arch. I totally missed that. I'll look it up)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (was back during Building Dragon Fen Michael, so 2018?)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Not at the moment...not enough info

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is good to know, but not our top concern at the moment.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We shall not be bothering you about that again

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Sorry. More for my bedtime reading. LOL)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] I look forward to seeing what happens after you return from Skull Church

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (IF we return)

Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master) pours more golden mead

[Master] two young gnomes in the corner gambling with Tiberius

[Master] and we jump back out to the guards above ground

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Sorry, but I think I might have to head to bed as well. Have a good weekend, everyone.)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] https://youtu.be/nqerQZObl58?t=63

[Master] first watch

[Snezana (Spring)] (gnite Ryan!)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Night Ryan!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Goodnight Ryan!)

Ryan has left the game on Fri Mar 13 22:53:32 EDT 2020

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Night Ryan)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (gnite)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (He still didn't answer the question about another gnome village)

[Master] Indigo moved 8'11".

[Master] Grolduk Groundsearcher moved 6'11".

[Master] Drayven Starmantle moved 8'00".

[Master] Talwin moved 8'11".

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 8'01".

Thistle (Carissa) sneaks over to join the gambling

[Master] Griff (dog) moved 11'00".

[Master] Sundown moved 15'06".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (well now we're down to 6 - 2 per watch)

[Master] [Hoffman]] moved 23'05".

[Master] Skarphedin moved 6'05".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sundown and Dray on 1st?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (+ Griff, who will be there for all 3 watches, but sleeps through large chunks of it)

[Master] OK

[Master] Sundown moved 2'00".

[Master] Drayven Starmantle moved 11'04".

[Master] Time of Day: 09:00 PM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Din {Mid Spring} 7th, 349 SKR.

[Sundown (Master)] So

[Sundown (Master)] Who are you?

[Sundown (Master)] Why do you dress like you want to be a holy warrior?

[Griff (dog) (TMO)] (Since Griff has a character sheet, I'll get him entered this week)

[Sundown (Master)] (to Drayven)

[Sundown (Master)] (Fritz?)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Oh sorry

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Me...Ahhh it was once a fancy of mine to become a holy warrior, but the demands of my family lineage required me to defer that calling...I am a noble Knight of renown

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] A cavalier if you will.

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Noblese Oblige and all that

[Sundown (Master)] a Knight of which Noble House?

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] House Starmantle

[Sundown (Master)] I have never heard of them

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Well I will have to correct that in the future...I will regail you with tales of my own valor first

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Later I can tell you of my family...

[Sundown (Master)] What is the weakest beast you have overcome?

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Man

Sundown (Master) nods sagely

[Sundown (Master)] A braggart would say something else

[Sundown (Master)] How do you know the gnome?

[Sundown (Master)] He looks different than these we are staying with

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Ha yes.,..Well long ago I was on my first travails to gain my Knight hood

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I was sent to apprehend or kill a group of brigands that were terrorizing a local farmstead and the outlying village

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] ...Sorry the other way around

[Sundown (Master) (to Fritz only)] the Central mountains

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I must admit that although I am well versed with the sword and lance...tracking was not my forte

[Sundown (Master) (to Fritz only)] north of the Chandler Cowles river

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] They were hiding in the mountains North of the Chandler Cowles river..

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I enquired if there was anyone who could assist me...

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] There was this strange looking fellow with dusky skin sitting in a corner of the Inn with a large animal ...Well to be precise...he was inside...the animals head was also inside...the animal was s actually outside looking in the open window

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] One of the patrons said that he might be able to help me....

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Turns out he was indeed a tracker...or Stalker if you will...of bounties

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I was not sure how, but I had a feeling the poor complection hinted at a life if not underground at least cavernous like the mountains

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Of course I didn't know what to make of the giant wolf head sticking in the window...

[Sundown (Master)] He looks to be close to the ground so that would make him a good tracker

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] The other patrons seemed not to notice and even the serving wenches didn't fear going close

Griff (dog) (TMO) curls up on the ground next to Sundown.

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Yes, well I don't want to sound "judgmental" but I assumed the same thing...

[Sundown (Master)] We are here to judge people

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I asked for his aid. He asked me for payment...

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Which is one reason I believe my father didn't want me to join the church as a Holy Knight

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] He said that as a future Lord I must learn to be open and to come to conclusions...not judgements

[Sundown (Master)] He was wrong

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Anyway after we agreed on a price....he and Omen...that's his Dire Wolf companion...

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Well I will let you come to that conclusion...I still have yet to make judgement on it

[Sundown (Master)] Perhaps that is why you falter

[Sundown (Master)] you need to be true to your convictions

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] So we successfully tracked down these bandits and brought them to the edge of my sword...

[Sundown (Master)] Good

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Falter...Convictions...

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I have not felt I have ever been lacking in either...But I will need to ponder the evidence

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Yes the refused to surrender

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I gave them a chance

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Anyway, we were back at the Inn and of course I was a bit "giddy" with my success at completing my Knighthood quest

[Sundown (Master)] That shows good patience to give the false ones a chance to repent

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I was young after all

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I have since learned not to revel in such outcomes.

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Anyway...

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (So. Have we had any religious zealots yet?)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] He was telling me of all his knowledge in his travels and the ways of things..

[Sundown (Master)] (Eric played one years ago, that was the introduction of Jennevive)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] It seems - and if you take a good look at his eyes you can tell the truth of this - he is actually the reincarnation of an older gnome

[Sundown (Master)] Why was he punished?

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] He has gaps in his gnowledge but his skills seem to come through at unexpected times

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Nooooo, From what I can tell he believes he was sent back to right some wrong done....

[Griff (dog) (TMO)] (gnowledge?)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] He is still trying to remember what it is

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] (he is a gnome)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (of course)

[Sundown (Master)] Or he was not seen as worthy of being allowed to achieve piece

[Sundown (Master)] Prince Sauscha came back because he has a purpose

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] It pains him at times, but he says the puzzle pieces are returning slowly...

Sundown (Master) cocks his head

[Sundown (Master)] walks over to (who is on second watch?)

Griff (dog) (TMO) scratches his jaw with a hind paw

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] GNo...I see he is a gnoble soul...so I doubt it was because deemed unworthy

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] I believe it was because he "wanted" to return...If that makes any sense

[Sundown (Master)] (who has second watch? Michael?)

[Sundown (Master)] (and ?)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] sure

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I won’t do by myself. I don't have night vision

[Griff (dog) (TMO)] (Indigo is 3rd, that's all I know)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Anyway we were betting on a piece of historical trivia...and well...I got it right..and he got it wrong

[Indigo (Lisa)] (with gnome?)

[Griff (dog) (TMO)] (with the gnome, I believe)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Indigo and Hoffman were supposed to be third so Talwin and Brer 2nd?)

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Oh Grolduk has superior gnight vision...he sees as well as we do in broad daylight

[Griff (dog) (TMO)] (and Brer can be either)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Give you all a chance for talkies :) )

[Griff (dog) (TMO)] (let's put him on 3rd with Hoff & Talwin)

[Sundown (Master)] (So Talwin and Brer on 2nd)

[Griff (dog) (TMO)] (... okay)

Talwin (mharm-95433) Stretches. A little groggy at 2nd watch, but stretches and twists

Talwin (mharm-95433) does a couple jumping jacks

[Sundown (Master)] (and then Grolduck on third with Indigo )

Talwin (mharm-95433) Straps on sword

[Master] Time of Day: 11:00 PM. Day 7 Mid ___ de, Din {Mid Spring} 7th, 349 SKR.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Takes stand at perimeter

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 7'08".

[Master] Talwin moved 8'00".

[Master] Drayven Starmantle moved 7'00".

[Master] Sundown moved 19'02".

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] So anyway.. he promised to help me on one mission of my choice in the future...It could have gone the other way...I happen to run into him walking down the street, and well then we got this expedition and I thought it would be a good time to call in my Marker

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Talwin: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

Talwin (mharm-95433) grunts

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Having a harder time than normal waking up it seems

Talwin (mharm-95433) Stretches again

Talwin (mharm-95433) Peers into the blackness

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Grolduk Groundsearcher: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

Talwin (mharm-95433) Grunts at Drayven

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "You too eh?"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Do you mind giving me a hand with these armor straps? I can reach most of them, but it's easier with help.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Grunts

[Snezana (Spring)] (whew all the sewing is done. costuming for tomorrow)

Talwin (mharm-95433) Twists straps and slaps Brer on back

[Drayven Starmantle (Fritz)] Sure thing

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (cosplay?)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Sleep well

[Snezana (Spring)] (evermore.com)

[Snezana (Spring)] (I made generic peasant garb)

Talwin (mharm-95433) Takes a small sip of whatever passes as hard alcohol to wake up

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (nice)

Talwin (mharm-95433) Sighs

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] ah bit better

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Does a quick perimeter patrol

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Sorry who else was with me?)

Brer Necholas (TMO) eyes Talwin. "Hmm.. So, soldier, have you made up your mind about us yet?"

Talwin (mharm-95433) Smiles.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Mercenary. Not solider.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] However, my loyalty is to the lady alone for terms of my employ

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm... I see.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shrugs

Drayven Starmantle (Fritz) Removes his armor and exchanges it for some light leathers... Puts his shield and sword close as he lays down

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] She likes you. I like you

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] She orders me to kill. I kill

Talwin (mharm-95433) Stares meaningfully

Talwin (mharm-95433) Smiles genially

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But for the most part, I don't mind you

Brer Necholas (TMO) grunts. "She does? She hides it well."

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Enjoy you sometimes in fact

Talwin (mharm-95433) Chuckles softly

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I think you may have missed the meaning there

Talwin (mharm-95433) Pops back

Talwin (mharm-95433) Rolls shoulders

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] mm

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmph. Possibly.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Normally don't have such a hard time waking up

Drayven Starmantle (Fritz) pets Omen and scratches him under his huge head and belly..

Talwin (mharm-95433) Looks around

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Spar with me?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Wood of course

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm.. I don't have any sparring swords.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Looks around

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Hmm. Here

Talwin (mharm-95433) Tosses spare walking stick

Talwin (mharm-95433) Pulls his own

Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz) as Drayven falls asleep he moves out to the edge of the camp and tells Omen to stay...As he moves into the darkness his eyes glow briefly as he looks back into the camp and then he disappears into the darkness

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] What weapons do you prefer?

Brer Necholas (TMO) claps a hand to the sword at his waist.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Rolls eyes

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Obviously

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I figured we should be aiming to kill each other

Talwin (mharm-95433) Gestures

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And, we should periodically do patrols as well

Talwin (mharm-95433) Can't be fully oblivious

Brer Necholas (TMO) chuckles. "Not a good idea."

Talwin (mharm-95433) Sigh

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Speaking of which.... where's the gnome?

Talwin (mharm-95433) I saw his eyes gleam that away

Talwin (mharm-95433) Gestures to the left

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Probably going for a piss break

Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz) shrugs in annoyance at the humans who can’t take watch seriously...Pulls out a dart and makes sure his daggers are loose in case he needs to throw them quickly

Talwin (mharm-95433) Laughs.

[Master] (Grolduk is asleep he is on third watch with Indigo)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Killing me smalls)

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] Oh sorry I thought this was....My bad...so play that out later

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (When I'll be asleep :) ?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I thought it made more sense to spread out the night vision folks myself, but was overruled)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] LOL

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] So Mr. Brer. What do you aim for in life?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer isn't my name.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Surveys the pitch black of night

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Hm

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] (Yea I thought that is what we were doing)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Odd

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Is that not what your name is?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Are you a Doctorate?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Or a Priest?

Brer Necholas (TMO) shakes his head. "Necholas is the name I've chosen. Brer is a title I picked."

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I am happy to give you your honorific if you would prefer

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Meaning...?

Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles. "Brother."

Talwin (mharm-95433) Ponders

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Right

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Ever hear of Brer Rabbit?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Brer Bear. Brer Fox)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (As a matter of fact I have...(

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Hm

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Well

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I don't make you call me master

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] so...

Talwin (mharm-95433) shrugs

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] OK Necholas

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer is fine, if that's what you prefer. But Mr. Brother is just odd.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shrugs

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] So

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Back to the question

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] What is it you aim for in life?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I take it you don't know anything about our Order?

Talwin (mharm-95433) Face darkens

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "I know a great deal about a great many things"

Talwin (mharm-95433) Brights just a tad

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "But I always like to hear the other versions as well"

Talwin (mharm-95433) Gestures

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] How do you present your order?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm. I'm not insulting you, lad. Many folks don't know much about us. Many more only know rumors. But if you do know us, then you know the answer to your question already.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I do love stories about Religious Zeal

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] How many heretics have been burned in recent years?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Any tithing the poor?

Talwin (mharm-95433) suggests coyly

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "You think you know us."

Talwin (mharm-95433) I think a lot of things. That's why I ask

Talwin (mharm-95433) Remindes

Brer Necholas (TMO) turns to face Talwin and steps up close, easily within arm's reach.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Smiles

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I wouldn't recommend it brer

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We exist to save you from the monsters that hunt the night.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Face hardens

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] So say you

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] By what definition is "monster" to you

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] The only kind that matters.

Talwin (mharm-95433) gestures

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And that

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Those that choose evil. That choose to hunt their own kind for *food*.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Is why I disagree

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shakes head

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Do not interrupt me when I'm answering the question you asked.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] That's a slippery slope

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shrugs

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] It wasn't the answer to my question

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] That is what you do, not what your goals in life are

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmmph. Do you do anything not toward achieving your goals?

Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Then you aren't serious about y our goals.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "I know what my goals are, how to achieve them, and contingency plans should I not

Brer Necholas (TMO) turns and moves back to look out around the campsite.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] What are your goals?

Talwin (mharm-95433) Calls back

Brer Necholas (TMO) sighs up at the sky.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Snickers softly to himself. Dodgy on that question aint he.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Sigh

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Chin up Brer

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] To save you from those that would feed on you and the innocent.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'm sure some bloodsucking vampire is out there

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Make sure you don't kill any that bring order and sensibility to the world would you? Would hate to have anarchy, plagues, and war take his place

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I *know* there is. Many of them.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] On that my dear Brer. I think we can agree to disagree

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I don't need you to agree with me to do what must be done.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I only ask that you not get in my way.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Good thing I don't care what you think then huh

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shrugs

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] If the lady orders it, I'm fine with going down swinging against the zealots of the world

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Hell

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'd do it for free

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I've done it before

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] and it won’t be the last time

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Some of us protest mightily when we see someone burning to death on a stake and all that

Brer Necholas (TMO) turns back to look at Talwin. "You would defend a vampire?"

Talwin (mharm-95433) Looks at Brer in absolute feigned Surprise

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] You wouldn't?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Think about the deeper ramifications of what you've said

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] You think we like vampires?

Brer Necholas (TMO) grunts. "You're acting like it."

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] So. Let me pose a hypothesis. You don't need to agree or disagree. Just a hypothesis

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Say there is a very, very powerful, ruthless, vile, evil, and so on Vampire in power and authority.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Someone you or I would cut down in a heartbeat

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Without remorse

Talwin (mharm-95433) waits for Necholas to acknowledge the scenario

Brer Necholas (TMO) is waiting

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Lets change the scenario to a faraway land. War Torn. Were mercenary companies are hired by the legions

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Complete and utter chaos

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Fiefdoms lost and won in a matter of months

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Countless dead

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Countless wounded

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Countless suffering

Brer Necholas (TMO) looks out into the dark while listening.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And the biggest, baddest, vile creature, using wealth accumulated over a millennia, buys out all the contracts, puts massive bounties on politically motivated individuals who would war for the sake of power along. Donates gold, and medical aid. Roads are rebuilt. Opposition crushed. Medical facilities and industry reignites. Education and peace reign once more.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And yet

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] rumors persist

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Every now and then, a person goes missing

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] No one can say for certain

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Or they are simply afraid to

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Acknowledges with a sour look

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] They do go missing in suspicious circumstances

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] What is the price of the individual, versus entire kingdoms

Talwin (mharm-95433) Morality is easy

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Believe what you want

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But morality is never just black or white

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "It is. I can answer your question with 4 words."

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shrugs. You've listened to me. The least I can do is listen to you. Doesn't mean it will change my opinion. But I’m always open to newer ideas

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Are. You. A. Sheep?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Sigh

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Not the first time I’ve heard that one

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shrugs

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] maybe

[Spring] (nitey nitey!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Sheep are kept and cared for, fenced in, fed and protected. And then sheared, bled, and chopped up for food.

Talwin (mharm-95433) taps his nose slyly

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] (Night spring)

Spring has left the game on Fri Mar 13 23:52:36 EDT 2020

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Good night Spring!)

Talwin (mharm-95433) Nods. Sure. That odd person in the medical facilities are indeed the sheep

Talwin (mharm-95433) Gestures to himself

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Men can protect themselves. We do not need vampires to protect us for their larder.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] To save a nation, I like to think I would be content being bled

Talwin (mharm-95433) Smiles

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] You've put your finger on he crux of the issue though haven't you

Talwin (mharm-95433) Gestures grandly

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Is a man not what we go face?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] It is not a vampire who does this

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Then you are a sheep. You experienced the worst of life, and think it's the natural state of the world. It isn't.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Smiles

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Yes. This man is evil. Vampires are worse.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I've seen things you can only imagine. And I’m fine being a sheep. As long as it is beneficial

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] That is the nature of the world. And I’ve yet to see otherwise

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Do not tell me what I haven't seen or experienced lad!

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shakes head

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'm not talking about you

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'm talking about my own experiences

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'm sure your line of..ah..work

Brer Necholas (TMO) sighs. "Forgive me my anger. I forget sometimes the certainty of youth."

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Has brought some gruesome sights with evil correct?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] And these would be things like monster correct?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] All I am saying. Is that man is just as capable, power hungry, vicious, cruel, and evil.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Evil does.not.disciriminate.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] BUT

Talwin (mharm-95433) Holds up a finger

Brer Necholas (TMO) bows his head. "Hmmph. Of course. And people have seen worse than me. Imagine the helpless innocent girl as someone she trusted sinks his fangs into her neck.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shrugs.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] No worse than a herbalist being burned for "Witchcraft"

Talwin (mharm-95433) Air quotes

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] You keep bringing up burning.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Mutters

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] My order has not burnt anyone.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Those are other zealots.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] "I can still hear their screams after all these years."

Talwin (mharm-95433) Eyes distant

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] And I don't defend their actions.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Remembering a faraway land

Talwin (mharm-95433) Shakes head

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Does your order not have its own. Cleansing

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] They all do in some way

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We cleanse vampires.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Burning, drowning, physical torture

Talwin (mharm-95433) raises eyebrows

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We try to help the innocent where we may.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] What about their servants?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Subjects?

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Suppliers?

Talwin (mharm-95433) Sigh

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] You aren' wrong

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] but I disagree to some extent

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] What about them? If they seek to stop us, we can't let them. But we don't cut them down merely for existing.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] What is the price we pay, for peace and stability

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] That's all I'll say on the subject for tonight

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I look forward to our next debate on the subject

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Let's talk about something less sensitive yes?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I hope you rest from your dreams and memories, lad.

Talwin (mharm-95433) Chuckles darkly. "Do you?"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Of course.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Smiles grimly

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I don't

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Not the ones that I was involved with anyways

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I sleep

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But I dream

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Restitution is a worthy goal as well.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I'll tell you, I’ve got a ways

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Not really religious anymore. I do believe in someone, but that's for a later time. I do keep most religious views private. On account of persecution and all that.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Maybe not in Lady Branwyn’s company

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] But

Talwin (mharm-95433) shrugs

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Old habits and all that

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Any time you wish to discuss it, I'm available.

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I thought we were going to have to talk about the weather soon

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Sorry for liberties bob. I like weaving cool stories too

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] :)

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Feel free to retcon whatever

[Master] it is good to get everyone a chance to explore their characters

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I LOVE HIM TMO!

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] I can't wait to see how this turns out

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I gotta admit, "Vampires are Good For Us!" wasn't a discussion I was expecting to hear :P

[Grolduk Groundsearcher (Fritz)] Night all

[Lisa] lol

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] LOL

[Master] grins

[Lisa] Goodnight Fritz!

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] It’s definitely a side isn't it?

Fritz has left the game on Sat Mar 14 00:04:50 EDT 2020

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] gnite everyone

[Talwin (mharm-95433)] Night all!

[Lisa] Goodnight everyone!

[TMO] thinking Tal drank a bit too much

mharm-95433 has left the game on Sat Mar 14 00:05:09 EDT 2020

[Master] pay attention to the site

[TMO] NEVER!

[Master] grins

Lisa has left the game on Sat Mar 14 00:05:20 EDT 2020

[Master] just in case

[Carissa] Night all

[Master] if we are all home

Carissa has left the game on Sat Mar 14 00:05:32 EDT 2020

[TMO] I still work this week.

[Master] have they said when they are shutting you down?

[Master] I think we are too, at least till after the elections on Tuesday

[TMO] they've extended spring break an extra week, then all classes are resuming as online only.

[Master] we already canceled everything else

[Master] nods

[TMO] staff works as normal. For now at least

[Master] I have all my stuff home just in case I work from home from now on

[TMO] my director is in self-quarantine, as she just spent a week in France

[TMO] I've already spent plenty of time around her.

[Master] I have been at 11 libraries in the last 6 days

[TMO] she's got no symptoms though, fwiw

[Master] it is a mess

[Master] Oh well

[Master] have a great weekend

[TMO] you too

TMO has left the game on Sat Mar 14 00:07:54 EDT 2020
