valma-73412 has received the map moat bank.

[Master] How are you tonight?

[valma-73412] Hi! Ok, just forgot how to chat for a sec lol

[valma-73412] How are you?

[Master] Life is good

[Master] got an email this afternoon that the NASA grant is a go

[valma-73412] WooHoo!

[Master] so have to start really writing on that now

[Master] and got lots of good inspiration at the Alexa Live conference I was at today

[Master] on how to write skills, what is possible etc.

[valma-73412] I hope you get it, your proposals are solid.

[Master] thanks

[valma-73412] hi!

[Carissa] Hello!

[Master] How was your day Carissa?

[Carissa] Quiet. Didn't have to go grab samples like I expected. Friday will be a long one, though.

[Master] sorry for that

[Carissa] It breaks up the monotony. Last week was ridiculous busy so no complaints for a quiet week following.

[Master] grins

[Master] I texted Lisa a bit today but did not hear anything from her so she must have a busy day

[Master] we know Spring will not be in

[Master] and as you both saw in the messenger chat Jamie will not likely be in live

[Master] but I have an idea for asyncronise (spelling?) story telling

Lisa has joined the game on Wed Jul 22 19:07:11 EDT 2020

Lisa is receiving the map Catacombs secret section...

[Master] sort of a play/tell story by post

Lisa has received the map Catacombs secret section.

[Master] and here she is

[Master] grins

[Carissa] She is summoned!

[Carissa] Hi Lisa!

[Master] hello

[valma-73412] hi!

[Lisa] Hello!! :)

[Master] How was your day Lisa?

[Lisa] crazy frantic

[Lisa] more work after this

[Master] sorry

[Master] do you need a break?

[Master] Or is this stealing too much time?

[Lisa] we'll see I think I just need to write now

[Master] ok

[Master] So Val last session we played two weeks ago they found the ring of invisibility

[Master] it was inside a mollusk in the moat

[Master] they recovered it

[Master] and we ended the evening with them testing it out

[valma-73412] nice. no session last week?

[Master] no

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

[Master] so now you are deciding what to do with the ring

[Master] and then go forth on that portion of the adventure

[valma-73412] What ideas did we discuss about how to move forward?

[Lisa] so should just go or should we see if we can get a bag to use against the rats?

[Carissa] I think a fight is inevitable, but if they get drunk we'd have the advantage.

[valma-73412] don't we have a bag of booze already?

Lisa is receiving the map moat bank...

Lisa has received the map moat bank.

[Carissa] We left it.... er I think in the mage's office? After we didn't have a reason for it

[Master] yes

[Master] you are out on the bank of the moat

[Master] it is late in the morning

[Master] your choices are wide open

[Lisa] do we have to cross the moat to get to the rat boat?

[Master] yes

[Carissa] but if we go back into the tower we're at least on the right side?

[Master] you need to cross the moat, then head back to the straight trees

[Lisa] so the bag might be good as a flotation device

[Carissa] Ooh.. and find way to get Horatio across

[Carissa] True or we might find something more to float

[Master] if you go back into the tower you are on the inside of the moat you want to be on the outside of the moat if you are leaving here towards home

[Lisa] Sarkle dropped him on the other side when he was drowning

[Carissa] Right but I think Sarkle is still chasing a catfish...

[Lisa] but we needed the rat boat for the big stream crossing

[Lisa] so we should ask for the bag

[Carissa] Could the rat boat be tugged to this side of the stream? We have two swimmers

[Lisa] sure

[Master] no

[Lisa] oh no yes

[Master] the rat boat is in the stream that comes out of the wood

[Carissa] aww

[Lisa] we left it on the other side of the portcullis

[Carissa] ohh grate

[Master] it is not in the part of the moat

[Lisa] why we didn't take it all the way here

[Master] nods

[Master] and nice pun Carissa

[Carissa] :D

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] so proposing we go back inside to get wine flask and/or floating thing to get Horatio safe back?

[valma-73412] maybe the chipmunk has more than just booze?

[Carissa] hoping so!

[Lisa] yes we can tell him we got it

[valma-73412] or we can steal stuff with the ring

[Lisa] how hard is it to carry upstairs?

[Master] it is the heaviest thing you have

[Master] heavier than the coin and thimble

[Lisa] it's awkward Valerie. So far we can't fit our bodies in it. Works if tail is in it but not sticking paw through

[Lisa] not sure how rats would use it even if they did get it

[valma-73412] what about wearing it as a crown?

[Lisa] we could try that!

[Lisa] Heavy is the head that wears the ring crown

[Master] grins

[valma-73412] I've been reading about all of the royal wedding tiaras in People magazine lol

[Lisa] so back to the archmage?

[valma-73412] yes

[Master] so how do you want to show up there?

[Master] just give me a description

[Carissa] with confidence

[valma-73412] victoriously triumphant and grateful?

[Master] grins

[Lisa] there are stairs?

[Lisa] so we lift ring to mouse on above stairs and move it up

[Master] no you can sneak under a door and then under the stairs to his rooms

[Lisa] that is easier

[Lisa] why don't you give us a description :)

[Master] I was thinking more of you parading through with the ring on your head

[Master] or carrying it

[Master] etc.

[Master] how open do you want to be,

[valma-73412] carrying it in and then doing a demo of one of us disappearing?

[Carissa] imaging they're very proud of themselves and probably don't mind show it. or at least true for Bianca

[Lisa] we haven't run into anyone here yet

[Lisa] so probably wouldn't try to hide it

[Master] ok

[Lisa] which immediately signals the entrance of Treble

[Master] Gruyere moved 1'03".

[Master] Gruyere moved 2'00".

[Carissa] lol

[Master] You make it back to the Arch Mages rooms

[Master] it is about noon now

[Master] He is not in evidence here in his study

[Horatio (Lisa)] Hello!!!

[Master] nothing

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Do you think he's sleeping again?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Arch Mage, sir?!

[Horatio (Lisa)] I'll go check

Horatio (Lisa) scampers to the bedroom and knocks

[Horatio (Lisa)] Hello!!!

[Master] Knock Knock

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Who's there?

[Master] no return sound

[Master] HAH

[Horatio (Lisa)] Nope! maybe he's doing arch magie stuff

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Do you think he'd mind if we just took one of these liquid rafts?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Hmm...

[Master] Bianca does not see anything amiss but something seems to be missing

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Something's missing already. Maybe he took it/

[Horatio (Lisa)] What?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] See see? Something's missing!

[Master] knowledge check

Horatio (Lisa) follows Bianca and looks around

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Horatio (Lisa)] I see things

[Horatio (Lisa)] (KNO for Carissa?)

[Master] yes

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: KNO check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master] There was a yellow bolt of cloth wrapped up in a corner that is missing now

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Yes yes things but

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Oh! It's that cloth! There was cloth in that corner. It was yellow like cheese!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Maybe he is making a yellow ... bed?

[Horatio (Lisa)] What do you use cloth for besides beds?

[Master (to valma-73412 only)] Gruyere knows about flags

[Horatio (Lisa)] So if he's busy maybe we could take the raft thing

[Horatio (Lisa)] He had a lot of them

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] We should go look and make sure he didn't already take them.

[Master] smiles

[Master] it is your call

[Master] I am waiting for what you want

Horatio (Lisa) goes and looks at the store room again

Miss Bianca (Carissa) follows Horatio

[Master] there are still the bladders in there

[Horatio (Lisa)] See! There's a lot of them

[Horatio (Lisa)] I think he knows this is a good cause

[Horatio (Lisa)] He doesn't like rats either

[Horatio (Lisa)] Does anyone like rats?

[Horatio (Lisa)] I don't think rats even like rats

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Rats are rats. No one likes rats.

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: STR check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

Miss Bianca (Carissa) goes to lift one up

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] This one?

[Horatio (Lisa)] Yup!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Okay! It's too bad there isn't a boat in here.

[Horatio (Lisa)] Gruyere, do you have the ring?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Think we can go now

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I have the ring!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Okay!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Maybe you should lead. I can't walk and see as well holding this.

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (does the ring make things invisible?)

[Horatio (Lisa)] (as far as know only when you stick your tail through it)

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Maybe if we put the ring on the bag you can see better!

[Master] magic items only work when you invoke it for the most part

[Master] but yes you would not know

[Master] and should be experimenting

Gruyere (valma-73412) puts ring on bag

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Can you see better?

[Master] it balances for a moment then starts to slide off

Gruyere (valma-73412) jumps to get the ring

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Sorry!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] It's okay! It was worth seeing! Er, trying!@

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] This is heavy...maybe I should put it on my head?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Oh oh! If I wear it, it'll look like this is floating!

Gruyere (valma-73412) puts ring on like crown

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Can you see me?

[Master] it sits on Gruyere's head but she does not disappear

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Yes you're right there.

Gruyere (valma-73412) looks disappointed

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] It would be easier to wear on your head. Hmm, did you have your ear through it?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I don't know...I can't see my ears. Do you want to try?

Miss Bianca (Carissa) tilts head towards Gruyere

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Here, put it on my ear!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] I can't do it myself.

Miss Bianca (Carissa) indicates towards wine bladder she's holding

Gruyere (valma-73412) puts ring on Miss Bianca's ear

[Master] it is heavy and starts to slide

[Horatio (Lisa)] Ouch!

Gruyere (valma-73412) starts to catch it

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Are you ok?

[Horatio (Lisa)] Careful!

Miss Bianca (Carissa) lets it go

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Can I wear it on my tail? Oh! Is there a mirror nearby?

[Horatio (Lisa)] What's a mirror?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] The Giants use them to look at what they look like

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] My mom told me stories about them once! Like water but solid!

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I heard the Giants tell stories that sometimes they aren't solid...

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Really??

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] But you can still see yourself in it, right?

Horatio (Lisa) looks back and forth at them "Ahhhhh..."

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Sometimes they have magic...at least that's what the Giants tell the littler Giants

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Oooo! That sounds cool!

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I wonder if the Arch Mage has anything else in here we can use that's magic...maybe more seeds?

[Horatio (Lisa)] I don't think we should take all the Arch Mage's stuff

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] He got mad because we woke him up. He'd probably be mad if we took more stuff. Wherever he is...

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Ok. So what should we do next?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Let's see if this floats! I can't keep holding it.

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I'll help you

Gruyere (valma-73412) grabs part of the bag

[Master] Shuffling down the hall and down the stairs

[Master] you make it back outside with a bit of a struggle

[Master] and observation checks from all

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio: Tumbling check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

Miss Bianca (Carissa) can't see around the wine thing

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Master] Horatio looks around and then points up to the window that you went through the first time

[Master] there is a yellow cloth hanging out waving in the breeze

Horatio (Lisa) points up "Look! "

[Horatio (Lisa)] The cloth

[Horatio (Lisa)] It's like a sign

[Horatio (Lisa)] I hope it's a good sign

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] What does it mean? Do you know, Gruyere?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] A flag!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] But why's it hanging out the window?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] A flag!

[Master] ?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (connection issue?)

[Master] (I see Val typing? but she is here)

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (everything I type gets delayed)

[Horatio (Lisa)] (did you type all you wanted?)

[Master] asking her in text

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (can you see me now?)

[Master] yes

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I wonder if the flag is telling someone we're friends?

[Horatio (Lisa)] Maybe it's a flag to say bring more cheese

Horatio (Lisa) laughs

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Have you seen a flag before from that window?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] It is yellow...

[Master] (not seen a yellow flag before but yes other colors)

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I've seen other colors, but never a cheese flag

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] What did the other colors mean? Do we need to go look?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] We should look from high up.

[Horatio (Lisa)] Do we care about Arch Mage business?

[Horatio (Lisa)] I'm thinking I just kinda want to go home to our trees

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Me, too. Did we need to tell him we're successful? He's not our arch mage.

[Horatio (Lisa)] We tried to tell him

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Oh! Should we yell it up to him? If he's in the window he might hear us!

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] What if the rats are coming?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Could it be a warning flag? Cheese doesn't seem a good color for that.

[Horatio (Lisa)] If you two want to go investigate I can stay here and watch our stuff

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] ooooo, maybe the arch mage will help us get them drunk so we can run away?

[Horatio (Lisa)] I don't think we should take the raft and the ring all over the place

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Maybe! Let's see if this floats first. If it doesn't we might have to go up anyways.

[Horatio (Lisa)] Okay

Miss Bianca (Carissa) lowers it into the water as carefully as she can

[Master] it sinks a bit but it bobs along

[Master] it does float

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] It kind of works! What do you think, Horatio?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Is it stable enough for you?

[Master] hmmm

[Master] I am not showing anyone dropping

[Master] or having any issues

[Horatio (Lisa)] Maybe

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (work maybe? :) )

[Master] are we just slow typing tonight?

[Horatio (Lisa)] If I try it and float away then we should go so are you ready for that?

[Horatio (Lisa)] Gruyere, do you want to come home with us?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Yeah! Maybe when Sarkle gets back he can see what the mage says.

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Really?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] We don't really have cheese, but we have trees and no giants to worry about! Just wolves.

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] That sounds nice

[Horatio (Lisa)] And we're friends with rabbits and sparrows and our own arch mage

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Yes yes!

Gruyere (valma-73412) smiles

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I like new friends

[Horatio (Lisa)] We do too!!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Should I try the raft?

Horatio (Lisa) looks around for Sarkle

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Yay! And don't worry about floating away, Horatio. I'm a good swimmer (usually)

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Horatio (Lisa)] SARKLE!!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Sarkle!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Oh well. Maybe he'll see us leaving

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Here birdie birdie birdie

[Sarkle (Master)] (sorry having my own KLoOge moment I think I deleted Sarkle by mistake)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (poor bird)

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (poor Sarkle lol)

Horatio (Lisa) goes over and climbs on the wine raft

Miss Bianca (Carissa) jumps in the water ready to catch Horatio

[Master] Sarkle moved 8'05".

[Sarkle (Master)] CLACK CLACK

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Oh! There you are, Sarkle! Did you catch breakfast?

[Sarkle (Master)] CLACK good fish

[Horatio (Lisa)] We did it Sarkle!!

Gruyere (valma-73412) jumps in the water on the other side of the bag *

[Sarkle (Master)] CLACK CLACK

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Thanks for your help!

[Horatio (Lisa)] You got the great big fish!

[Horatio (Lisa)] We all got good things today

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Yeah! Look look! We can disappear!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Show him!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (whoever has the ring)

Gruyere (valma-73412) puts ring on tail

[(Master)] disappears

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] See? See?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] See? I'm still here! Can you see me, Sarkle?

[Horatio (Lisa)] See!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Or uhh don't see?

[Sarkle (Master)] CLKACJ CKACJ an invisible mouse

[Sarkle (Master)] CLACK

Horatio (Lisa) claps his paws

Gruyere (valma-73412) takes ring off tail

Miss Bianca (Carissa) joins the clapping

[Horatio (Lisa)] Much better than an invisible fish

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Hey Sarkle, do you know what a yellow flag means?

[Sarkle (Master)] The flags CLACK are for signaling to people

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Who is yellow?

[Horatio (Lisa)] You ... you ... you ... don't think he's telling the rats we're here, is he?

[Sarkle (Master)] CLACK

[Sarkle (Master)] Rats

[Horatio (Lisa)] EEK!!!!!

[Sarkle (Master)] Blue is birds

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] But... why would he signal the rats?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Are they friends?

[Horatio (Lisa)] If he trades these bags with the rats maybe he is a rat friend and we didn't think of it

[Horatio (Lisa)] We should go before the rats find their rat boat

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] So then it's okay if we take this! Who befriends rats?

[Horatio (Lisa)] We need to steal it again

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Yes yes! Let's go!

Miss Bianca (Carissa) moves to the back and starts paddling to push the float along

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Sarkle, can you see where the boat is?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] And show us where to swim?

Horatio (Lisa) lies on bag raft and tries to paddle to the other side

[Horatio (Lisa)] (we know where the boat is)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Do you need Horatio to hold the ring while you swim, Gruyere?

[Horatio (Lisa)] (we just need to cross the moat so we can walk back to the gate where we tied up the boat)

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] ( I just thought it would be hard to see where we're going while swimming)

Gruyere (valma-73412) gives ring to Horatio

[Master] between Bianca and Gruyere

[Master] need two successful swimming checks out of four tries

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (4 tries each?)

[Master] two tries each for 4 rolls

[Master] try one each first

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Swimming check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Swimming check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

[Master] so the two of you successfully navigate the floating bobbing wine bladder across the moat without dropping Horatio or the ring

[Horatio (Lisa)] (yay!)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (woo!)

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (phew!)

[Horatio (Lisa)] That was almost as fun as the rat boat!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Thanks!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Less spinning!

Horatio (Lisa) climbs off the bladder

Horatio (Lisa) pulls the bladder on shore

[Horatio (Lisa)] Want me to carry this for a while?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I've never been on a boat

[Horatio (Lisa)] You will soon! It's fun

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] If you can!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Miss Bianca and I became sailors

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] We did! We're really good at it!

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I want to be a sailor too! Will you teach me?

[Master] so you can struggle a bit but you make it back to the wonderful grate

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Of course! Let's go find the boat!

[Dandelion (Master)] THUMP THUMP

[Horatio (Lisa)] So the boat

[Horatio (Lisa)] What's that?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Does that sound familiar?

Horatio (Lisa) looks around

[Dandelion (Master)] THUMP THUMP

[Horatio (Lisa)] (can we see him?)

[Master] looking around you spot a rabbit across the other side of the stream

[Horatio (Lisa)] Dandelion!!!!

Horatio (Lisa) waves his paw

Dandelion (Master) waves

[Horatio (Lisa)] He looks so far away!

[Dandelion (Master)] You should hurry!!!!!

[Horatio (Lisa)] He waited for us!!

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Is he a friend?

[Horatio (Lisa)] Oh yes!

[Dandelion (Master)] The rats were at the other mice place today and were mad about their boat

[Dandelion (Master)] They are on their way

[Horatio (Lisa)] (we can hear him across the stream we sailed?)

[Master] it is narrower here at the grate

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Oh no! We need to hurry!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Are they swimming?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Maybe someone should wear the ring so we can surprise them if we run into them?

[Master] is only about 30 foot across at the most

[Dandelion (Master)] They are wet from swimming to your side of the stream

[Horatio (Lisa)] Let me see if the boat is still there

[Dandelion (Master)] (yes it is)

Horatio (Lisa) goes to the reeds they hid the boat

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Gruyere, do you want to wear the ring? Or do you want me to wear it?

Horatio (Lisa) starts to push it out a little

[Horatio (Lisa)] I'll hold the boat while you put our things in

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I can wear it, they have never seen me

Miss Bianca (Carissa) nods

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Good and you can sneak up on them if you need to.

Gruyere (valma-73412) puts ring on tail

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Let me go help Horatio load the boat!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Umm, and tell us when you get on the boat, Gruyere. I can't see you...

[Master] Horatio moved 3'02".

Gruyere (valma-73412) gets on boat

[Master] Miss Bianca moved 2'11".

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I'm on the boat

[Master] Horatio moved 4'09".

[Master] Gruyere moved 5'01".

[Master] Dandelion moved 16'10".

[Horatio (Lisa)] Everything aboard?

Horatio (Lisa) makes sure Miss Bianca and the bladder are in before he gets in too

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Yes yes I'm here!

Horatio (Lisa) hops in and takes one of the long sticks from last time

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio: STR check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Master] Horatio pushes off the bank

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (were there two? I forget)

[Horatio (Lisa)] (yes)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Let me help!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: STR check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

[Master] You give a good hard shove and get away from the bank

Horatio (Lisa) looks around for rats

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Master] but the current drags you back into and you BUMP up against the smooth tall wooden trees

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio: Danger Sense - Humanoid races only check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Master] No rats yet

[Horatio (Lisa)] Oops

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (...yet)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Danger Sense - Humanoid races only check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Horatio (Lisa)] How did that happen?

[Master] but the boat is up against the grate

[Horatio (Lisa)] Maybe we need to paddle harder

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Yes yes let's try that!

[Dandelion (Master)] COME TO THIS SIDE

Horatio (Lisa) pushes again from the grate

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I'm pushing too!

Horatio (Lisa) tries to row as hard as he can

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] OVER THERE?

Miss Bianca (Carissa) starts pushing towards Dandelion

[Arch Mage (Master)] (faintly back from the other side of the moat) NOOOOOOOO I tried to stop... AHHHHHHGGGGGG THUD

[Horatio (Lisa)] What was that?

Horatio (Lisa) looks back

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Umm, I don't know. Do you see anything?

[Horatio (Lisa)] Sounded like the Arch Mage

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] From where?

[Master] Horatio is pretty sure that was the Arch Mage yelling out

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] We better hurry

[Horatio (Lisa)] Ohhh ... maybe the rats got him!

Horatio (Lisa) paddles as hard as he can

[Master] are you heading across the stream or upstream into the current?

[Horatio (Lisa)] It won't be bad if we go too far down a little if we can just get to the other side

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Should I swim and try to push the boat from the water? I can't stay invisible if I do

[Horatio (Lisa)] (just get to the other side - we can walk it)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Dandelion is calling to us. Let's go towards Dandelion!

[Master] Ok

[Master] so a dex check from Gruyere

[Master] remember she is invisible

[Master] and on a boat for the first time

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: DEX check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Master] THUNK

[Master] not bad enough to fall over board

[Master] but hard enough to fall into the boat and the ring fall off your tail

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Ow! boats are wobbly

Miss Bianca (Carissa) jumps to grab the ring before it falls off the boat

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Oh no! Careful!

[Master] good

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Sorry, I was trying to help.

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] It's okay! It takes time to get used to being a sailor!

[Master] one more strength check between Horatio and Bianca

[Horatio (Lisa)] Boats are wobbly

Miss Bianca (Carissa) puts ring on tail and goes back to paddling

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

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: STR check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (niceee)

[Horatio (Lisa)] (sweet!)

[Master] Well then you just pick up the boat and THROW it across the stream, grins

[Horatio (Lisa)] (LOL)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (and combined we propel ourselves far and away)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (lol!)

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (lol)

[Master] so you make it to the far side of the stream

[Master] where Dandelion is

[Master] and you can all now hear loud shouting

[Horatio (Lisa)] Dandelion!!! You waited for us!

[Master] and suddenly a roaring from a giant

Horatio (Lisa) looks around

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Eek!

[Horatio (Lisa)] EEK!

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] A giant!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Danger Sense - Humanoid races only check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Master] you can hear rats yelling and running and then a SPLASH

[Master] and the Giant waving something big and yellow at them

[Master] chasing them

[Horatio (Lisa)] Uh-oh

[Horatio (Lisa)] We should go now

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] They'll see us soon! We should go!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Do we still need the raft?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Dandelion do you know the way home? Can we walk?

[Master] You are on the side of the stream you came from

[Horatio (Lisa)] Or should we leave it here for the rats?

[Master] the tree is south

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (and we are south of the stream...?)

[Master] yes

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (so... we go south)

[Master] ok

[Master] what about the boat?

Horatio (Lisa) pulls the boat to land so it won't float out and help them

Miss Bianca (Carissa) helps Horatio

Gruyere (valma-73412) helps

[Horatio (Lisa)] Should we leave the raft so the rats get busy with that or should we carry it with us?

[Horatio (Lisa)] (The bladder)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] We should leave it. It'll only slow us down.

Gruyere (valma-73412) nods

Horatio (Lisa) pushes the wine bladder to the edge of the stream so the rats will see it

[Master] ok

[Master] Miss Bianca moved 10'09".

[Master] Horatio moved 7'09".

[Master] Gruyere moved 8'03".

[Master] Miss Bianca moved 3'08".

[Master] Dandelion moved 5'10".

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (this time we're waving bye to Sarkle unless Sarkle is joining us)

[Master] He is not

[Master] he is off fishing

[Horatio (Lisa)] Thank you for waiting for us Dandelion!

[Dandelion (Master)] The Mice said you were coming back

[Dandelion (Master)] then the Rats came and got mad

[Horatio (Lisa)] The mice village was mean and wanted to capture us so we had to run away in a hurry

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (aw man so we forgot to say goodbye again? sad)

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Hi! I'm Gruyere

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Gruyere helped us find the ring!

Miss Bianca (Carissa) briefly takes it off her tail to show Dandelion before putting it back on

[Dandelion (Master)] (disappearing?)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (technically she's been wearing it and invisible)

[Dandelion (Master)] (ok)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (didn't want to potentially lose it)

[Master] heading into the brush near the stream

[Master] and angling to go back upstream

[Horatio (Lisa)] (can we avoid the mouse village this time?)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (please)

[Master (to GM only)] Rat #5 moved 1'04".

Lisa is receiving the map Ledge...

Lisa has received the map Ledge.

[Master] reusing a map to make it easier

[Master] As you scramble up out of the bank of the stream

[Master] observation

[Master] and or danger sense

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Danger Sense - Humanoid races only check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Danger Sense - Humanoid races only check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

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

[Master] Gruyere is getting up the ridge where the high water mark has pushed up the earth

[Master] and looks back to see two rats climbing dripping out of the water

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Eek!

Gruyere (valma-73412) ducks

Horatio (Lisa) whispers "Don't let them see the ring!"

Miss Bianca (Carissa) tightens grip on ring on tail

[Horatio (Lisa)] (so Bianca invisible?)

[Master] yes

Horatio (Lisa) looks around for a place to hide

[Master] Horatio can see that the rats have spotted you

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio: Hiding check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

Gruyere (valma-73412) whispers stay invisible

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Do you want to use the ring, Horatio?

Miss Bianca (Carissa) whispering

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Before they notice we're two different mice?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Hiding check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 9!!

Horatio (Lisa) shakes his head

Miss Bianca (Carissa) quietly, "Don't worry. I'll protect you!"

Horatio (Lisa) looks to see where Gruyere is going

[Horatio (Lisa)] (can we piggy back off a successful hiding check? :) )

[Master] Horatio looks around and only Dandelion is there

[Master] Gruyere is gone and Bianca is invisible

Horatio (Lisa) trembles a bit

[Master] Rat #5 moved 1'08".

[Master] Rat #4 moved 2'06".

Miss Bianca (Carissa) quietly, "Do you need my thimble?"

Horatio (Lisa) backs away

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Or needle?

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio moved 1'02".

[Master] The rats are looking for the path up over the ridge

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] whispers psst...over here

Miss Bianca (Carissa) looks for some rocks to push over the edge at them

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Foraging check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL FAILED against 8!!

Miss Bianca (Carissa) murmurs, "If only we could toss things down at them."

Horatio (Lisa) starts to move towards the bushes

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio moved 1'06".

[Horatio (Lisa)] (not sure how far he can go at one time)

[Master] is ok

[Master] what are you going to try to do?

[Horatio (Lisa)] (but there is a bunch of bushes or trees to the left)

[Horatio (Lisa)] (get away from standing right in the open)

[Master] Gruyere moved 5'00".

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (maybe I found a cave with rocks to throw?)

[Master] Horatio moved 6'10".

[Dandelion (Master)] you can look for rocks where you are hiding

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master] Gruyere spots a large boulder

Gruyere (valma-73412) whispers I found a big rock

Miss Bianca (Carissa) quietly, "Oh! Let's push that over! Maybe it'll hit them!"

[Horatio (Lisa)] (can we see or hear anyone else? I'm confused on logistics)

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: STR check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Master] you four are up on the ridge, trying to hide, the stream is to the south of the map (which is actually north) and the rats are coming up the bank mad and soaking wet, growling at spotting a mouse and a rabbit here

[Master] just past where they found their boat

Gruyere (valma-73412) whispers it’s really heavy

[Master] they did not spot gruyere or obviously Bianca

[Dandelion (Master)] What are you trying to do?

Dandelion (Master) THUMP

[Horatio (Lisa)] Hello Mr. Rats! You are very wet

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (maybe Gruyere is whispering to herself? I do that when I’m stressed lol)

[Rat #4 (Master)] Give us the mouse and you can go back where you belong rabbit

[Horatio (Lisa)] (if they have seen Horatio only - if he talks to you he'll blow your cover)

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (maybe invisible Bianca can find Gruyere and help push?)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (would it be a roll to do that?)

[Master] a really good observation roll

[Master] or Gruyere has to break cover to get someone to help her

Horatio (Lisa) moves forward again

Dandelion (Master) THUMP

[Dandelion (Master)] Why should I give you a mouse?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Miss Bianca: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Don't hurt Dandelion!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio moved 2'02".

[Master] Rat #5 moved 1'10".

[Master] Rat #5 moved 3'00".

[Rat #4 (Master)] Such a little mouse

Miss Bianca (Carissa) shifts off to the side

[Horatio (Lisa)] What do you want with me anyway?

[Rat #4 (Master)] You have something of ours

Miss Bianca (Carissa) quietly in spooky voice, "Don't come any closer. This place is curseeeddddd."

[Rat #5 (Master)] Who said that?

[Horatio (Lisa)] I don't! I don't have anything

[Master] Rat #5 moved 1'07".

[Horatio (Lisa)] See?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (did the observation check work for pushing the boulder?)

Miss Bianca (Carissa) quietly, "The Rat of Holiday Pasttttt. It's not worth ittttttt."

Horatio (Lisa) turns around in circles

[Rat #4 (Master)] Go find out who is up there

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio: Tumbling check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 12!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (not sure if it showed anything, but guessing I needed to roll 5 or lower)

[Horatio (Lisa)] Owwww!

[Rat #4 (Master)] (right not good enough)

[Rat #5 (Master)] Hey Rabbit

Miss Bianca (Carissa) moves backwards so they can't pinpoint her voice

[Rat #5 (Master)] you give me that mouse

Miss Bianca (Carissa) "Your mother would be ashammmmmmed of youuuuu."

[Rat #4 (Master)] Go on

[Rat #4 (Master)] go on

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (ok but it said success?)

[Horatio (Lisa)] I don't have whatever it is you want

[Horatio (Lisa)] What do you want anyway?

[Rat #4 (Master)] (only a basic sucessus not enough to find Gruyere where she is hiding)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (so if it was a normal obs, she would have succeeded but this was a Bob constrained obs so not successful for that specific task)

[Horatio (Lisa)] I can get you seeds

[Horatio (Lisa)] I'm good at that

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] "You will not find the love your parents could not give youuuuuu"

Gruyere (valma-73412) looks around for smaller rocks to throw

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] "Goooo baccckkkk"

Dandelion (Master) turns around and SCUFFS the dirt down over the rats

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Rat #5 (Master)] Hey boss

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio moved 2'01".

[Rat #5 (Master)] HEY HEY

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Or you will fall like your brotherrrrrr

[Rat #5 (Master)] stop that

[Rat #5 (Master)] Boss they

[Rat #5 (Master)] hey

[Rat #5 (Master)] hye

[Rat #5 (Master)] hey

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Go hommmmmeee and leave this place!

[Rat #5 (Master)] How do you know about that

[Rat #5 (Master)] Boss I don't like this

[Master] Rat #5 moved 3'03".

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Hooommme GOOOOooooooOOOOOoooo!

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (did Gruyere find rocks to throw?)

[Master] Rat #4 moved 1'03".

[Rat #4 (Master)] (yes)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Or you will be NEXTTTTTTT

[Rat #4 (Master)] Get up there

[Master] Rat #4 moved 2'05".

Gruyere (valma-73412) starts throwing rocks

[Master] Gruyere targets Rat #4. Distance: 14'01"

[Master] Dandelion moved 3'00".

[Master] Dandelion moved 4'02".

[Rat #4 (Master)] on your dice panel roll for attack

[Rat #4 (Master)] the shield

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Attack: Natural Attack: (20-(d20+0)) [1d20=16] 4. HITS Rat #4 (AC FINAL: 6)!!!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (nicee)

[Horatio (Lisa)] (nice!)

[Master] two more times

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Attack: Natural Attack: (20-(d20+0)) [1d20=1] 19. MISSES Rat #4 (AC FINAL: 6).

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Attack: Natural Attack: (20-(d20+0)) [1d20=13] 7. MISSES Rat #4 (AC FINAL: 6).

[Master] and now the damage roll

[Master] the one in the middle there

[Master] just once

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Gruyere: Damage v SM: Natural Attack: (1d6) [1d6=6] 6 added to: Rat #4

[Master (to GM only)] Rat #4: No adjustments made.

[Horatio (Lisa)] (wow)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (awesome!)

[Rat #5 (Master)] BOSS BOSS

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (cool)

Rat #5 (Master) goes over to his limp body

[Rat #5 (Master)] Hey

[Rat #5 (Master)] Boss

[Horatio (Lisa)] Horatio moved 1'11".

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] "You were warnnnnneddddd!"

[Rat #5 (Master)] No way

[Rat #5 (Master)] I am out of here

[Horatio (Lisa)] You better go away now. This place is haunted!

[Rat #5 (Master)] NO way

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Run nowwwww or join himmm!!!

[Rat #5 (Master)] no way

[Master] Rat #5 moved 9'08".

[Master] Rat #5 moved 17'00".

[Master] Rat #5 moved 17'11".

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (lol)

[Horatio (Lisa)] (Excellent work! I was prepared to sacrifice Horatio for the team)

[Master] and the rat runs off

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (that was hilariously well done)

[Horatio (Lisa)] (Very much so!)

[Master] got in a lucky hit that took him out in one blow

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (nahh Bianca was ready to do an invisible stab move although Horatio would have been bait for that, lol)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (right?? great toss!)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (and that it was the boss you took out!)

[Horatio (Lisa)] Do you think he's dead?

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] (that was awesome)

[Master] I thought you were going to ask the rabbit with his big feet to help shove the boulder down

Miss Bianca (Carissa) leans over the edge

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] He looks squashed to me.

Gruyere (valma-73412) comes out of hiding

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] poke him with the needle!

[Horatio (Lisa)] You walloped him Gruyere!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (ehh that involves smart thinking)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (is there a way down?)

[Master] sure you came up

[Horatio (Lisa)] That rock just flew out and clunked him

Miss Bianca (Carissa) cautiously goes down to poke the rat with the needle

[Master] but yes his head is bashed in

[Master] dead

[Horatio (Lisa)] You will be Gruyere the Brave Too!

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Let me go check. Don't toss any more boulders!

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I tried to push a bigger rock down but it was too big

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Oooh he's a pancake.

Gruyere (valma-73412) beams

[Master] There are two bands on his arms

[Master] like bracers

Miss Bianca (Carissa) takes them

Miss Bianca (Carissa) and heads back up

Miss Bianca (Carissa) briefly takes off the ring to drop the bracers on the ground, "What are these? Maybe they'll help you toss more boulders, Gruyere! Try them on!"

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] ooo

Gruyere (valma-73412) tries them on

[Master] They are a little big but they fit over your whole lower arm

[Horatio (Lisa)] They're nice looking

[Horatio (Lisa)] Makes you look tough

[Horatio (Lisa)] But in a good way

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Yes yes!

Gruyere (valma-73412) makes muscles

[Master] Gruyere feels stronger

Miss Bianca (Carissa) claps, "They look good on you!"

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] Thank you! I feel stronger.

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] Do you want to wear the ring, Horatio? I think the rats are gone, but just in case?

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] I have my thimble and needle to protect me!

[Horatio (Lisa)] Only if you are tired of carrying it

Miss Bianca (Carissa) nods, "You should hold on to it for now!"

[Horatio (Lisa)] Okay

[Horatio (Lisa)] (do you tie your tail to it so you can wear it and walk at the same time?)

[Master] I was picturing holding the end of your tail in one hand while you walk

[Master] so it slides down onto your butt

[Master] grins

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (I figured just wrap your tail tight around it but either or)

[Horatio (Lisa)] (lol)

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (as someone without a tail, I don't know the best answer here ;) )

[Master] come on Carissa, shake your tail feather

[Master] shake your tail feather

[Miss Bianca (Carissa)] (well that's a different kind of tail)

[Master] grins

[Master] OK I think this is a good spot for tonight

[Master] you can each take one more point

[Carissa] just thinking that

[Master] Gruyere while wearing the bracers gets a +2 to strength

[Horatio (Lisa)] (nice!)

[Carissa] sweet!

[Master] Next week Val you are likely to not be here right?

[Master] I think we have one more session or two to get back to the tree

[Gruyere (valma-73412)] I won't know until next week

[Master] OK

[Master] so we will see if we have Val and Spring next week

[Master] tonight Spring is with friends but will be in on Friday

[valma-73412] If I take a strength point, what else does it modify?

[Master] the two under it

[Horatio (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Horatio modified: Ability Scores - WIS: (W) : CHANGED: 11 (10). Intuition: (IU) : CHANGED: 11 (10). Willpower: (WI) : CHANGED: 11 (10).

[valma-73412 (to GM only)] Character sheet for Gruyere modified: Ability Scores - STR: (S) : CHANGED: 12 (11). STAM: (ST) : CHANGED: 12 (11). MUSC: (MU) : CHANGED: 12 (11).

[Carissa] what stat affects obs again?

[Master] for example Lisa just changed Horatio's wisdom so that changes his Intuition and Willpower too

[Master] yeap you did it right

[valma-73412] great

[Lisa] Great news!

[Lisa] Especially with John probably being out

[Lisa] Question about that

[Master] yes

[Master] Miss Bianca: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Lisa] you are really taking Foto away from him if he doesn't turn Foto into the main character?

[Master] yes

[Master] he will stay with Dragon Fen

[Lisa] if Branwyn had been drained 5 levels you would take Indigo?

[Master] yeap

[Carissa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Miss Bianca modified: Ability Scores - INT: (I) : CHANGED: 11 (10). Reason: (RE) : CHANGED: 11 (10). Knowledge: (KN) : CHANGED: 11 (10).

[Master] it sucks I know

[Carissa] Miss Bianca: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Carissa] (keep that roll for next session)

[Master] Indigo has a very established story though and would again be there at the Manor House etc.

[Master] still part of the group

[Carissa] But if Foto becomes PC, Hoffman becomes NPC?

[Master] yes

[Carissa] So no matter what, one of them becomes NPC

[valma-73412] Goodnight!

[Carissa] Night Valerie!

[Master] have a great night Val

[Carissa] Awesome job!!

[Master] talk to you tomorrow about work

[Lisa] unless he can roleplay the hell out of turning Hoffman into a Foto henchman?

[Master] great job

[Lisa] Goodnight Valerie!!

[valma-73412] thanks this was fun

[Master] glad

valma-73412 has left the game on Wed Jul 22 21:51:52 EDT 2020

[Carissa] That'd be a really interesting RP.... not sure how he'd do it

[Master] I think that the hard part is why would that work

[Master] I think that he could make a case that Hoffman is just weak but will recover

[Lisa] Haven't gotten a response to my email yet

[Master] Ok

[Lisa] yes

[Carissa] How many levels would Hoffman need back for it not to be a problem?

[Master] 1 more than Foto

[Lisa] he'll easily be at 6th level after this arc

[Lisa] I would think

[Carissa] If I can find Foto to look...

[Lisa] think Foto is 7

[Master] Yes

[Master] Foto is 7

[Master] Hoffman is 5

[Master] but is 8K away

[Carissa] But one more than meaning he'd need 3

[Lisa] he won't get to 7 after this arc

[Master] so unlikely to get all the way to 6

[Lisa] and getting to 8 is a big jump

[Master] I think it is obviously up to John

[Carissa] I hope John will at least consider looking at the cost to recover the levels

[Lisa] what he should be thinking about is Miranda

[Carissa] But yeah, completely up to him

[Lisa] and not Foto

[Master] yes to Lisa

[Carissa] We've got that covered :)

[Master] grins

[Lisa] because you could easily roleplay the Miranda as main and Hoffman as henchman

[Master] yes

[Carissa] Ahh true

[Lisa] Hell - that was how it was originally before he went all dual class on her

[Carissa] We're working on bringing her back with Shi, but I still need to figure out when Shi is coming back

[Carissa] I was confused by that. I thought she was his main PC for a long time. That explains why then.

[Master] We can do the math on the trip again for you Carissa this weekend

[Carissa] Is the current time stamp right?

[Master] to know how many days it takes to get back

[Master] and yes that is the current date

[Carissa] More trying to figure out how long she'd be there. Was aiming for a month plus the month of travel up.

[Master] I think you have that in your notes

[Lisa] Gruyere no longer targets Rat #4.

[Carissa] (Leaving 14-3-348)

[Carissa] And it is.... 10-10-349 which means...

[Lisa] I don't think we're on any long distance trips after this

[Carissa] ....that I miss TMO's faster math skills

[Master] chuckles

[Lisa] so does it matter much?

[Carissa] True, if you're around the area she doesn't need to come back right away

[Lisa] on your schedule

[Master] right no long trips they will be in Dragon Fen

[Carissa] I think half my issue is figuring out what we're doing... which is all our issue :)

[Carissa] So no, probably not. Only might matter with when John wants Miranda back and how he prefers her to get back

[Lisa] Shi comes back and says hello to Jilly - Oh they've all gone to hell. You just missed them!

[Carissa] LOL

[Lisa] Shi then throws a party at dragon fen

[Carissa] "You just missed them. Why don't you go to Hell?"

[Lisa] LOL

[Master] chuckles

[Carissa] Party could be great fun.

[Master] saving this here
