Lisa has received the map Catacombs section 1.

[Master] You did not melt

[Lisa] Hello :-)

[Lisa] There is still time

[Lisa] Still in triple digits

[Master] has it broken yet at all?

[Master] ufff

[Lisa] nope

[Master] Lara will be in just late

[Master] have not heard from anyone else yet

[Lisa] I'm early actually

[Master] only 5 minutes

[Master] had to refilm my presentation yesterday

[Master] last week I did it in one take of 45 minutes

[Master] Marketing wanted me to change a line

[Master] so had to refilm

[Lisa] Nasa?

[Lisa] good thing?

[Master] no about our Echo Dot program

[Master] Spring is in her new steady home

[Lisa] Great!

[Master] hoping for everyone to be in

[Lisa] I will be asking about the contents of that last book

[Master] which book?

[Lisa] in case you need to figure that out while we wait

[Lisa] chest on fire

[Lisa] Bran grabbed a book - Emerald's

[Master] yes

[Lisa] Brer grabbed the other

[Lisa] little hoarder

[Lisa] would not let anyone look at it in case it bit anyone

[Lisa] or he felt he had to keep his foot on it for the rest of the story arc

[Master] chuckles

[Lisa] so we looked at everything except that one

[Lisa] and black magic book needs to be de-trapped

[Lisa] thief with a really good roll or a good dispel magic roll?

[Master] true

[Master] Michael texted me last week saying he was really tired but would make it in to help out

[Master] told him to relax no game

[Master] and now?

[Lisa] lol

[Master] Hello

[Carissa] Hi Bob and Lisa

[Lisa] Hi Carissa! :)

[Master] so how is the story plotting coming?

[Carissa] Still stuck. Can't decide if I have time to add that piece I asked you about. But also not sure when I'd get the chance...

[Master] I say go for it now

[Master] this weekend

[Master] just plug it in and let it run

[Carissa] Yeah usually how I go. I still have one or two of the planned plots to finish, too. But not too much left I think to write

[Carissa] I hate deadlines :)

[Spring] thanks!

[Master] Griff (dog) moved 5'08".

[Lisa] Hi Spring!

Spring waving

[Master] Did you identify the mushrooms Spring?

[Spring] no I haven't had a good look at them yet

[Spring] tomorrow I plan to go up the ladder and Deal With Them

[Master] Carissa will want to know before reporting you for transporting produce across state lines without a proper permit :)

[Carissa] lol!

[Carissa] Hey as long as it's not firewood it's probably fine maybe

[Spring] hehehe

[Spring] idefinitely did not transport firewood

[Carissa] Oh good. That's the big one. Although not so much from Utah

[Spring] I did see a really good display about why not at a state park

[Spring] the one with the covered bridge, they had a museum in their gift shop

[Carissa] Nice!

[Spring] okay I put the birthday game on the calendar

[Spring] so's I don't schedule over it

[Master] Thank you

Spring makes a sweeping bow

TMO has received the map Catacombs section 1.

[Master] WOW I only thought his name

[Spring] hi TMO!

[Master] did not get to type it

[Carissa] Hi TMO

[TMO] I’m just that good

[TMO] hello

[Master] so you have everyone in this section of the crypts who are here

[Master] and now you can decide what how to proceed

[Lisa] Hi TMO :)

[TMO] tequila party

Carissa is receiving the map Catacombs section 1...

Carissa has received the map Catacombs section 1.

[Spring] I vote yes to the Jose

[TMO] so we cleared all the coffins, yes?

[Master] yes

[Lisa] We just need to bring the goopy corpses up

[Lisa] at some point

[TMO] yum

[TMO] shall we work on that now then?

[TMO] goopy corpse retrieval

[Spring] whee!

[Lisa] we have some sacks in the party pack but not sure that will work

[Lisa] maybe we can assign Pete that task

[Lisa] it isn't a danger - just messy

[Lisa] and pudding food so best to remove it

[Spring] Pete already had hiring authority. we could let him pay others to do it

[TMO] that sounds great. Pete

Carissa has left the game on Fri Aug 28 19:29:53 EDT 2020

[Spring] or do it himself since we don't like him anyway

[Lisa] I was going to take the bedding to wrap up Black Cloak's body

[Lisa] any word from John btw?

[Master] nope

[Master] Ryan John Michael no word

[Master] Lara will be in

[Master] just late

[Lisa] k

[Master] but would be good to talk with Brer now perhaps

[Lisa] so we were going to take all the ghouls upstairs - not sure if that happened last time

[Master] I will say yes and tick off some time

[Master] Time of Day: 03:52 PM. Day 11 Trall ___ tre, Din {Mid Spring} 11th, 349 SKR.

TMO dons his armor and hood

[Spring] Ryan told me that he is obligated to do Bill and Ted with the spouse but may be in after

[Master] Thank you

[Spring] that did not sound right

[Lisa] the church map isn't even an option we have been gone so long

[Lisa] lol Spring

[Lisa] had to read that again :)

[Lisa] church is black in front

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmmm... So what are your plans now?

[Master] because no one is there

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] The villain vanquished

[Master] I can move someone there Indigo?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] the damsel freed

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We finish cleaning up and then I bring the body back to his family

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is ... the right thing to do.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] For Dragon Fen and for his family

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] And after...?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sleep?

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] You're going to do all that before you sleep?

Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles back.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Make sure my son is safe

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sleep peacefully? Likely

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The rest of this is up to Hoffman

[Snezana (Spring)] maybe we should clean everything up tomorrow. who else is tired?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] How much trouble do you think the family is going to pose?

Branwyn (Lisa) looks up at the windows

Branwyn (Lisa) shrugs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have no idea

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have never met any of them personally

[Snezana (Spring)] (oh y'all are where the windows are?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They were on the Queen's side in the war so that is helpful

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (any chance I know the family at all, Bob?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the windows we went crazy closing up at the top)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Master] Large family that has lands both in and out of The Mist

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (was wondering if starting a big ghoul fire with them open would be enough air or we would have to wait till we can go outside

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (could always dump them in the moat)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (after we cleaned the pool of shit - unless someone can throw a corpse very far :) )

[Master] actually sorry the Mist has fully crossed their Estate now

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (just go down the stairs and dump)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (pool is covering the stairs

[Master] But the Quellcon family has supported The Brotherhood through the years

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and they raised Black Cloak?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (he was a Quellcon?)

[Master] and little known fact one of the few Brothers who has lived while his Brother died lives with them

[Master] Black cloak had married into the family based on last name

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (there we go. last name didn't match up)

[Master] Witherbane IV

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so his wife could be there?)

[Master] at this point we do not know

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we don't know)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you know)

[Master] grins

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was thinking of taking the bed sheets back to the large room to wrap up Black Cloak and sleeping down there. Did you all want to sleep down there or stay here?

[Master] Considering you learned his name in June of 2019 and just now making the connection with the last name and Quellcon.......

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I honestly don't know why I would connect Witherbane with Quellcon. To be fair though, I have no knowledge of the Quellcon family at all. ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Our focus was more - he's a bad guy and must go rather than his lineage)

[Master] by the way Carissa is trying to get back in

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Now that we are safe, do you mind handing that last book over now, Necholas?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (was this an evil book?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I should really look into taking notes about the sessions .... >_>)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no clue - you smothered it first to put the fire out and then so no one could look at it)

Spring is receiving the map Church Ground Floor...

Spring has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (weren't the burning ones Emerald's spell books?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (one sec, let me see if I can find the session)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she had one - that was the one Branwyn saved)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (maybe the other one belongs to her, maybe it's a thesaurus, maybe the Necronomicon)

[Master] other ideas?

[Master] I think TMO is searching

Branwyn (Lisa) goes in the bedroom and gathers bed sheets

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We're still at the church exploring. TMO isn't in yet so why don't we start with those books? All of these have already been nicely summed up by Lisa over on Party Pack, but to reiterate the ones we looked at: scroll for cost of moat using goblin slave labor, plans to kidnap the babe with the power (and summon David Bowie), a book full of magic, accounting book for Dragon Fen including vulnerable sites and a disturbing image of Branwyn trapped with a charm spell, a book with a list of the parishioners over the last year with check marks next to names, a book labeled How To Cast Dispel Magic (left on shelf), a beginner's book to necromancy, and the journal that starts with a mention of the Queen of 341 granting the Quellcon Family rights to a stead in the Craniate Wastes.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is there ventilation in the burn pit room since it's a burn pit room?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok - I will go back to the chest where you stole the book)

[Master] no to ventilation in the burn pit room

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (sry, need to go afk for a bit

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what a bad idea for a room you set fires in)

[Master] with people in them

Carissa has joined the game on Fri Aug 28 19:56:35 EDT 2020

Carissa is receiving the map Base Map...

Carissa has received the map Base Map.

[Master] hurray

[Carissa] (lol maybe; we're on step one so let's hope step one is all I need or I have to call them back)

[Master] TMO is afk and Lisa is researching

[Carissa] Yep and I'm reading whatever is researching, but thanks. Worried it dropped again...

[Snezana (Spring)] (and I made sammich)

[Master] John says he will not be in tonight, Michael's account says not available on Messenger so no clue what is going on there

[Master] Looks like this is the crew for the night

[Lisa] Brer Necholas (TMO) steps forward to try and grab the books. [Master] Brer smothers the flames on the book he is holding against his chest [Brer Necholas (TMO)] Go ahead and grab up the books into a bag for me then. We'll put them someplace safe for later. Brer Necholas (TMO) points to the books that he noticed earlier. Brer Necholas (TMO) looks down, obviously having forgotten he was holding a smoldering book.

[Lisa] So Brer asked Phyn to gather all the books we got and then says he's holding the smoldering one

[Lisa] Never puts it down

[Lisa] So Bob call

[Lisa] did you count the books we looked at as to include the burnt one he was holding or not?

[Lisa] if we have everything that is fine - I just had it in my notes that we had one more unidentified

[Master] two books got singed, one that Brer had and no one looked at and one that turned out to be Emerald's spell book

[Lisa] ok

[Lisa] so we can look at that

Branwyn (Lisa) comes out of the bedroom with the sheets from the bed and drops them on the floor

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm not sure how we are going to be able to remove those stones in front of the stairs

[Carissa] (All right all caught up. Good catch, Lisa)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (are we calling it a day or still doing things before sleep?)

[Carissa] (Er also what stones in front of what stairs?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (glyph stones that zap the good who want to go upstairs)

[Carissa] (oh those stairs got it)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so long ago!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Can't you just pulverize them? Get a big hammer and SMASH!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we're back to our original problems)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm ... that's an idea. Maybe

[Thistle (Carissa)] Or blow it up! You can blow up things, can't you?

[Snezana (Spring)] (alas)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I tend to burn things rather than make things explode

[Thistle (Carissa)] Who says you can't start now?

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Master] One question before deleting all the dead and undead, Michel and Guiote?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We do have some potions.

[Thistle (Carissa)] See??

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Uhhh a question for TMO?)

[Master] not his characters anymore

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Ilero did not bring them back the first time - I would think we can say a prayer and cremate them with the rest)

[Master] very well

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes Philippe)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that was just my vote - people can object)

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] 9sry to be so long away)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (that's fine; it was less TMO's characters and more what Ilero would want if anything for his guildees)

[Master] TMO is back now get him!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.......!!! *flees*

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (they aren't really even bodies anymore since they got smashed - so Ilero here are the 100 pieces of your guild members)

[Snezana (Spring)] (pray and cremate sound right to me)

[Master] everyone loves puzzles

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (super glue is a thing)

[Master] quote

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we can bring them back if Ilero would like them - TMO?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (how expensive?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh I meant handing him the bone pieces)

[Master] so the current topic of discussion as Branwyn and Indigo finish taking bones and bodies and undead into the burn pit room and cremating them all with a strong fire and close the door to stop the smoke from coming through the whole church

[Thistle (Carissa)] (they were only like level 2 and 3? or something?)

[Master] brb refilling as you discuss getting that book back from Brer

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (think 1st or 2nd)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (oh, then yes. resurrecting, I don't think he'd want - given his issues with death and life)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (they had like 8 and 12 hps)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (did anyone find the exact book? Is it the one Sundown was standing on?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no that was the journal)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (yep - can't remember how long you'd have to wait to get more guild peeps, but up to you)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you just never put the smoldering book down - so we never could id it)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you just need to either read it to us or fork it over :) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you have a semi-burnt book of mystery)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (didn’t one book detect as evil?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (no idea which one though - maybe the black spell book?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (think that was the Black necromancer spell book)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (which was not the one you are holding)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you never did anything with it except keep it from burning and hold it lovingly in your arms)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I Love Book)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it was at the end of a session and then you came in a little late to the next and it never got looked at)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (k, he will look at it when Bob gets back and determine what to do with it)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hehehe)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So where would you like to sleep? I need to go back and tell Tiberius we made it through.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He's all alone with the sleepers back there

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think we need watches tonight

[Thistle (Carissa)] Do we have to sleep with the mummy again?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have covered this church from top to bottom and there are no more threats

[Thistle (Carissa)] There's an actual bed up here!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You don't have to Thistle.

Thistle (Carissa) throws up hand, "I CLAIM THE BED!"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I just can't leave Tiberius wondering

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles and looks down at the sheets she took from it

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Aww looks like she was left in the darkness of the other map)

Carissa is receiving the map Church Ground Floor...

Carissa has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I will stand watch tonight, if I can sleep some tomorrow.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Just lock the door. It'll be okay!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Umm, are all the puddings gone?

[Thistle (Carissa)] ('cause I don't remember)

[Master] no 6 small little cute black puddings left to scurry in the shadows

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There are a couple tiny ones left in the catacombs

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Coming soon to an RPG near you! The Blob!)

[Snezana (Spring)] (dog is demanding food, brb)

[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] and when Brer pulls the book out to debate handing it to Branwyn

[Master] what do you want to know?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is it still burning?)

[Master] no

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas: Detect Evil Intent: By focusing for an entire round, I can detect evil intent or actions in a location or group up to 60' away and 10' wide.

[Master] grins

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Master] and no evil

Brer Necholas (TMO) hands it over to Branwyn.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you!

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the book

[Master] it is easy to see it used to be a spell book

[Master] the cover says Alistone The Creator

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope this Alistone was not the undead creator

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how burnt is it?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Is there anything inside?

[Master (to TMO only)] Alistone was a mage who was known through Drillian for ambushing Necromancers and Undead and bringing them to justice

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope there is not a trap on it despite the fire. I was going to have Lanek look at it first

[Master] As Branwyn opens the book

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm..

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hey!)

[Master] it is obvious that there used to be many more pages

[Master] but there are only a few left in the back

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the side

[Master] One spell left, Mirage Arcana

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There certainly aren't a lot of pages left

[Master] a 6th level spell

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] /bob how long ago?

[Master (to TMO only)] he was active this year

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] How very odd.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] One spell only. Mirage Arcana. I can't tell more about that spell without more study

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But it's not to make undead and so that is a plus

Brer Necholas (TMO) taps the book with one finger. "If it's the same man I've heard of, he attacks necromancers and undead. I wonder why his book is here?"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps he was killed by Black Cloak and he took his book?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe he attacked them and missed?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I hope not. He did good work.

[Thistle (Carissa)] So where is he now?

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you know where he is from? Mages are usually only parted from their books through death

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I never ran into him myself, but I've heard a story or two about him that supposedly were fairly recent.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Last year or two, maybe?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We shall put out word for him when we return then

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Thank you.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] How strong are you Necholas?

[Thistle (Carissa)] You sure he wasn't one of the ones in the coffins?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Fairly strong, I think.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I didn't see his name there.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh no. Never mind. I think it would hurt you more than others

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] You mean going up the trapped stairs? From how you described that trap, yes, it would probably hurt me a lot.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was thinking of Thistle's idea of destroying the glyphs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have a potion of stone giant strength and I was thinking that combined with someone who was already strong might be able to simply smash the stones.

[Snezana (Spring)] I like it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But if you made contact with it twice it would likely hit you as you were destroying them. If it worked at all

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Ah, that makes some sense. Can't wizards just cancel or erase magical writings?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I cannot

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] It's too bad something as simple as laying a rug over it isn't enough.

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] that would be nice

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Let me take a look at one. Maybe I can try to pry it up from the outside with my prybar.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It's just another thing we need to think about

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Lanek can help you perhaps

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The stairs do not affect him

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The stones

[Branwyn (Lisa)] rather

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Well, I think your mercenary has some engineering knowledge. Maybe he could figure a way to tear them up safely.

[Thistle (Carissa)] What about me? I can do things!

[Lanek (Spring)] yeah I just shrug it off

[Thistle (Carissa)] Umm, not engineering things.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] That's okay, girl. Neither can I.

[Lanek (Spring)] (STR = 11 LOL)

[Lanek (Spring)] maybe on of ya's can whip me up some magical ink or something that I can write over ém with?

[Lanek (Spring)] nullify?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Didn't they destroy that already?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or maybe with the potion anyone's strength could break them

Lanek (Spring) makes a muscle

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Isn't there that oil Indigo used to smash a table?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Not sure if we're thinking same potion)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's what I was thinking)

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Thistle (Carissa)] (okay double checking; I didn't look at the list admittedly; was thinking it was something to drink too))

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Acid may do it. Do any of these puddings melt stone?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Would you like to try brute force Lanek?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah! He's good at that! That's why he's so bad at lockpicking!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thistle!

[Thistle (Carissa)] What?

Lanek (Spring) glowers

[Thistle (Carissa)] It was a compliment?

[Lanek (Spring)] though I am definitely a brute, so force would work for me

Branwyn (Lisa) digs around in the potion chest and comes up with a vial

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Are you right handed or left?

[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm gonna... stand over here to watch.

[Lanek (Spring)] right

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thistle moved 35'03".

[Thistle (Carissa)] (wherever gives her a view but far away)

Brer Necholas (TMO) pulls his crowbar off his belt for Lanek to use.

[Lanek (Spring)] oh good, I was about to ask

Lanek (Spring) takes crowbar

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Okay. Rub this onto your hand and up your arm

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Use the whole thing for full effect

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I doubt there are many potions that would let you tear up stone bricks with your bare hands.

Lanek (Spring) puts down the crowbar, cups left hand to accept the stuff

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then smash that stone to bits

[Thistle (Carissa)] Wouldn't a hammer be better?

[Master] Thistle moved 44'02".

[Thistle (Carissa)] (woo leftie!)

[Master] Lanek moved 32'03".

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 43'10".

Lanek (Spring) rubs the stuff all over right hand and arm

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If stone giants are as strong at the cloud giants we saw recently, I believe they could

[Master] Branwyn moved 40'07".

[Master] Indigo moved 30'11".

[Master] Snezana moved 51'09".

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I don't have a hammer strong enough. The one I have is for hammering pitons into stone.

Lanek (Spring) makes a muscle again

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Which, he could try also - using them as a chisel.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (*as far as she can be but still able to see)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thistle moved 32'05".

[Indigo (Lisa)] This is gonna be neat

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thistle moved 39'02".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you feel it in your arm?

[Thistle (Carissa)] I hope it doesn't make tiny zappy things...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You should feel the magic working

Lanek (Spring) picks up the crowbar

[Lanek (Spring)] (dunno, do I?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (bob disappeared?)

[Master] no just waiting

[Master] Lanek will need to test to see if he feels stronger

[Lanek (Spring)] (ok so no tingling or burning or numbness or anything)

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGC1bV4-fmk

Brer Necholas (TMO) holds out his arm for Lanek to pull on.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas: MUSC check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Lanek (Spring)] Lanek: MUSC check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

[Master] CRACK

[Lanek (Spring)] (uh oh)

[Lanek (Spring)] are you okay?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he just broke Brer's arm - great :D )

[Master] and the stone shatters in half

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

[Lanek (Spring)] (hahahahahaha)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thought that was for the arm tug)

[Lanek (Spring)] (that's like "pull my finger")

[Master] grins

[Lanek (Spring)] (pull Brer's arm and make the stone break)

[Master] it is all in the reflexes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can you pull it out now?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I bet you didn't know that 'pulling Brer's arm' is Cockney rhyming slang for smashing a brick.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (It's cracked and still in place?)

Lanek (Spring) grabs a broken half and tries to pull it out of the wall

[Master] grins

[Lanek (Spring)] (LOL TMO)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Wow!

[Master] Lanek pulls up the half of the broken slab

Lanek (Spring) puts it out of the way and tries to pull out the other half

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I sure hope that does it.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] if not, that's one heck of a spell.

[Master] leaves an empty spot in the tiles

[Lanek (Spring)] awright let's do the other one

Indigo (Lisa) claps

[Lanek (Spring)] Lanek moved 53'07".

[Indigo (Lisa)] That was great!!!

[Lanek (Spring)] prolly better move, Short Round

[Lanek (Spring)] don't want you gettin hurt

[Lanek (Spring)] unless I’m supposed to pull on YOUR arm to make this tile crack

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thistle moved 49'01".

[Thistle (Carissa)] Nooope

Lanek (Spring) hits the wall with the crowbar

[Master] (1d20) [1d20=17] 17

[Master] the crowbar bends but does not break

[Lanek (Spring)] aw hell

[Master] and the stone shatters

[Lanek (Spring)] sorry I screwed up yer crowbar

Lanek (Spring) picks the pieces out of the wall

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs. "It's easily replaced."

[Indigo (Lisa)] You should take a whack at Branwyn next!

[Lanek (Spring)] I ain't stupid

[Indigo (Lisa)] The statue!

[Lanek (Spring)] well, maybe a little stupid

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you think she wants a headless statue of herself?

[Lanek (Spring)] oh, would you like ér demolizhed, missus?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe if the arms were missing

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo is correct that I have no interest in it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And it would save Hoffman from having to do it

Lanek (Spring) shrugs, goes over to the statue

[Lanek (Spring)] Lanek moved 36'08".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It doesn't serve a purpose vandalized that way - even to followers

[Master] Lanek moved 56'01".

[Lanek (Spring)] (wrong location lol)

[Lanek (Spring)] (goes over to the statue ...)

Lanek (Spring) whacks it somewhere in the middle with the crowbar

[Master] crumbles

Lanek (Spring) nods in satisfaction

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh oh what else can he hit? This is fun!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Can you straighten the bar back out?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Just curious

Lanek (Spring) shrugs

Lanek (Spring) tries to straighten the bar again

[Master] creak and straight

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Neat

[Master] (it lasts for 1 hour roughly and you are 20 - 30 minutes in)

[Lanek (Spring)] voila!

[Thistle (Carissa)] (yeahhhh go smash things)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That was wonderful Lanek!

[Thistle (Carissa)] More more more!

[Master] Time of Day: 04:32 PM. Day 11 Trall ___ tre, Din {Mid Spring} 11th, 349 SKR.

[Lanek (Spring)] I think we ran outta things that need bustin up

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods his head toward the front door. "What about that glass coffin? Any idea if smashing it will break the enchantment too? Or just release the monster?"

[Lanek (Spring)] aint that a dead body in there?

[Lanek (Spring)] I don't wanna desecrate nobody

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We're pretty sure it was a trap.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There is something magical on that case. I am not sure what

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I cannot predict what would happen. It's not like the glyph where we know what it does

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It would be a risk

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But we are strong today if you want to try ...

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Are we?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We don't have all hands at the moment.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was hoping Emerald could try to dispel the magic on it

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I had an interesting thought...

[Lanek (Spring)] I feel all strong and all but I don't know about that

[Lanek (Spring)] what's the thought?

Brer Necholas (TMO) walks over toward the coffin and walks around it, carefully keeping several feet away from it.

[Master] Branwyn moved 56'04".

[Master] Snezana moved 46'09".

[Master] Lanek moved 46'08".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It we can disable the magic, I would bring the girl home to Quellcon as well

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 62'05".

[Master] Thistle moved 46'01".

[Master] Indigo moved 43'10".

[Master] (Howard?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sure)

Brer Necholas (TMO) pulls out his sword and uses it as a pointer as he traces a perimeter around the coffin.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I believe there's stone magic that can make the stone flow out from under the coffin. Your gnome used some on the trap below.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Sink the coffin under the floor, and then flow the stone back over the top of it, permanently entombing it underground.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So we would not try to return her?

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm more concerned with the undead than the living, I'm afraid. If she's undead, she's already been torn from her family.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are probably right. If she was brought back she would be a problem again in a few years

Lanek (Spring) shrugs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well Foto is watching Hoffman so we can't do anything else with that today

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Well, hopefully she won't be going anywhere.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So we are ready to rest? Unless there are other things we can do today

[Snezana (Spring)] yes. rest. please

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes. We deserve it.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (dance party!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (clank clank clankity-clank)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'll take the sheets down to the main room in the catacombs and watch the sleepers with Tiberius.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sounds like you all want to stay above

[Thistle (Carissa)] Bed!

[Thistle (Carissa)] (cat on arm typing limits)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then I shall see you in the morning.

Branwyn (Lisa) takes the sheets and heads down below the altar again

[Master] who is sleeping with Branwyn and the dream sleepers?

[Master] and where are the others sleeping?

Branwyn (Lisa) hums a little as she goes knowing this is the safest this place has ever been

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Tiberius is down there)

[Snezana (Spring)] (Lanek downstairs, Snee upstairs)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Brer is actually going to spend some time with Tiera)

[Master] Indigo? Snee? Lanek? Howard?

[Master] ok

[Master] ok

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (but doesn't need to be there all night)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the others wanted to be upstairs I thought)

[Master] Indigo Howard and Thistle

[Master] Snee is staying upstairs

[Thistle (Carissa)] (the bed which is upstairs in the office)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (bran and Tiberius can take care of themselves)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Indigo and Howard can stay upstairs)

[Master] which has no bedding now just a stray mattress bag

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and pillows)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (more comfy than the floor)

[Master] Branwyn casts darkness in the corner and retires with Tiberius looking for child number 3

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (definitely)

[Master] Indigo moved 97'02".

[Master] Howard Plum moved 115'11".

[Master] Snezana moved 132'07".

[Master] is there anything to do over the evening and night?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (prayer and communing for Brer - doubt he'll catch anything, but it's worth doing on its own merits)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not in game - but Branwyn tells Tiberius about her day :) )

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Thistle sleeps)

[Master] smiles

[Master] Time of Day: 06:25 AM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Din {Mid Spring} 12th, 349 SKR.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so far?)

[Master] nods

[Branwyn (Lisa)] ok - they got put down at 10 am yesterday so at 6 PM they started gaining hps)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's 6 am so 12 hours = 24 hps)

[Master] [Hoffman]]'s Current Hit Points: adjusted to 40 (24) - Lightly Wounded

[Master] Sundown's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 24 (15) - Unharmed

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (takes a dispel to wake them)

[Master] so they sleep a hundred years

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (before they are done)

[Master] grins

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lasts for 32 hours)

[Snezana (Spring)] (ugh I gotta do a work thing brb

[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so they could be asleep until 6 PM tonight)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (so if we punch Sundown he'll keep rehealing until 6 PM? temporary wolverine thing going?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hoffman still needs 4 more hours)

[Master] so you have the pit in front of the steps, the moat and the griffon still

[Master] and LOL at Carissa

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes and this was Lara's big night)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (It's not even 10 PM yet. Could be still!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (dispel magic, pool)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (get a water hose to wash away the poop)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Unless we can think of how to get rid of the pool by ourselves)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (haven't had a good idea for that since we first ran into it...)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (something something fire is as far as I got)

[Master] no magic in the remaining challenges

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Fire for the black water I think)

[Master] to dispel

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Spells - CHANGED: Continual Light - Wizard -- # Memorized: 2 (1), CHANGED: Dimension Door -- # Memorized: 2 (+1), CHANGED: Glitterdust -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Healing Dream -- # Memorized: 0 (+0), CHANGED: Magic Missile -- # Memorized: 1 (+0),

[Thistle (Carissa)] (test)

[Master] just waiting

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Howard Plum modified: Spells - CHANGED: Magic Missile -- # Memorized: 2 (+1),

[Thistle (Carissa)] (making sure it wasn't my internet)

[Lisa] sorry was updating spells

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Well, I suppose you can solve the other problems with the stone spell too. Somehow.

[Lisa] I had memorized utility spells

[Lisa] I can cast detect on the glass case to maybe see what kind of magic is on it

[Lisa] I can read the heart book

[Master] the spell book?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Book with a heart on the cover; inside is written in magic)

[Master] AHhh sorry

[Lisa] was thinking Emerald with her alteration spells might be able to do something with the pool

[Lisa] I can't think of how to make it go away

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Wish)

[Lisa] the black spell book has a trap so Lanek try or Emerald or priest with a dispel try

[Master] If you want to wait for more firepower

[Lisa] while thinking about the pool - might as well do some stuff

[Lisa] (can you bring Branwyn up?)

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Indigo, can put out the things we have found in the catacombs please?

Indigo (Lisa) takes out the quills, the ink, the dagger and the wand

[Indigo (Lisa)] This stuff?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Yes thank you.

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Did we remove the ring and wand from cloak's body or no?)

[(Lisa)] I thought Thistle had the ring

[(Lisa)] We have the wand in the loot chest

Howard Plum (Lisa) looks at the dagger to see if he can determine if it has any religious meaning

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Okay double checking. I should add that to her sheet....)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum: Religion check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 8!!

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

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Hmmm ... I can't tell if this is important to the Suomi or not

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (brer checked and it wasn't an evil ring)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (can an non-evil ring still be cursed? have it in her pocket for now)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (don't think so)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Detect Evil is useful, but not a cure-all for other things. :) )

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (you can put it out to be checked for magic)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Let's see if I can save Branwyn some trouble

Howard Plum (Lisa) rubs his hands together

[Thistle (Carissa)] (we'll add it to that pile then for magic check)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum casts a spell against : Detect Magic - Wizard: For (2*7) 14 rounds I can detect magic in a 10'x60' path in front of me.

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=37] 37

[Master] which is that on?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (he has a 70% chance of telling which school and magic intensity

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (start with quills)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (you can say what is glowing)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (and then we can go)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (Indigo put everything in a pile)

[Master] quills are not magical but suitable for writing magic spells

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (ink, wand, dagger, ring)

[Master] Ink is suitable for magical spells, not magical until used

[Master] Wand is magical Dagger is not Ring is magical

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Normal quills and ink for magic users. Yes, yes.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] The dagger is just a dagger

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=31] 31

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] The wand is of course but it is ...

Howard Plum (Lisa) thinks

[Master] Wand is necromantic

Howard Plum (Lisa) sighs

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] A necromancer's wand

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] And the ring is magic as well

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=35] 35

[Master] Ring is protection magic

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Ohhhh ...

Howard Plum (Lisa) looks at Thistle

[Thistle (Carissa)] What what?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] It offers protection of some sort

[Thistle (Carissa)] Ooh that's a good thing!

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Branwyn would have to identify it to be more specific

[Thistle (Carissa)] So... can I wear it now?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] But it seems a very good thing. Yes

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I would think so.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yay! It's so pretty!

Thistle (Carissa) grabs ring and puts it on

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Brer, did this dagger have anything about it that means something to you?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I could tell nothing except it is not magic

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (is he present, or still down at the tomb?)

[Master] you tell me

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (oh he stayed down there?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (ok, I'm okay with him being there, just wasn't sure of the timing)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (morning now so maybe he's up?)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (I asked for Branwyn to come up - Foto is down there)

Brer Necholas (TMO) takes the dagger and looks for anything significant about it.

Lanek (Spring) comes upstairs

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: WIS check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!

[Master] Dagger is good quality, nobleman type of weapon

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Master] has a crest on it

[Master] but Brer cannot remember which it is

Brer Necholas (TMO) taps the crest. "That's something, but I don't recognize it."

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Or, remember. One of the two.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (can local history roll help?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (rolled it private to him)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (jog that memory)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (ohh secrets)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (Oh I know what I forgot to say I was doing last night)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (I forgot I wanted to wrap the body and bring it up)

[Master] that is done

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (ok - thanks)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so everyone is upstairs except Foto and the sleepers)

[Master (to GM only)] Pete moved 9'10".

[Master] Pete moved 1'10".

[Master] Pete moved 4'00".

[Pete (Master)] Hello?

[Master] Pete moved 3'00".

[Master] Thistle, Indigo, Snezana and Howard Plum moved 31'02".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning

[Pete (Master)] Good Morning Countess

[Thistle (Carissa)] Eek!!

[Pete (Master)] May I ask the disposition of the Cathedral?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] How did the last couple of days go for you?

[Pete (Master)] I have had a hard time keeping people out of the church

[Pete (Master)] including myself

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Pete (Master)] I came as soon as I thought I could

[Pete (Master)] to make sure that she was safe

Pete (Master) looking around

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have not touched her. Yet

Pete (Master) looks at Branwyn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Your master however is deceased

[Pete (Master)] She is beautiful isn't she

[Pete (Master)] OH

[Pete (Master)] Oh

Pete (Master) pauses

Brer Necholas (TMO) stands on the sideline, watching.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He refused to speak with me

[Thistle (Carissa)] I spoke to him!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I came all the way over here and he ran away

[Thistle (Carissa)] (if she's there, I dunno)

[Pete (Master)] (sure)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sure!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (probably came out to see who is talking)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, Thistle spoke to him

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah!! He was all, "Damn you!" so I told him "No damn you!!" and then he ran off.

[Thistle (Carissa)] And died.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)

Pete (Master) looks at Thistle puzzled

[Pete (Master)] I

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Her curses are quite potent

[Pete (Master)] I am not sure what

Thistle (Carissa) grins

Pete (Master) nods, ahh

[Pete (Master)] Yes I have heard of gypsy curses

[Pete (Master)] I did not know they worked so quickly

[Thistle (Carissa)] Neither did I!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Instead of speaking with us, he sent undead and scarecrows at us

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Quite uncivilized

[Thistle (Carissa)] And black pudding things!

[Pete (Master)] The guards are ferocious

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There was no other recourse.

[Pete (Master)] the black ooze were supposed to be controlled

[Thistle (Carissa)] Where'd they come from? You have lots of them.

[Pete (Master)] but they got out of hand so I put them in the moat

[Pete (Master)] they were meant to use for etching

[Thistle (Carissa)] Umm, what?

[Thistle (Carissa)] I use a sharp tool for that.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Those don't get out of hand.

[Pete (Master)] OH that works fine on soft stone or wood

[Pete (Master)] but if you want to etch glass or granite

[Thistle (Carissa)] And some rocks!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] How did you handle them without getting hurt?

[Pete (Master)] you need something that can eat away quickly to accomplish rebuilding something like this

[Pete (Master)] the grey ooze was wrapped in a leg of lamb

Thistle (Carissa) nods, "Yeah, I'd get bored if it worked too slow, too."

[Pete (Master)] the black oozes were wrapped in metal tubes

[Pete (Master)] it was quite an experiment

[Thistle (Carissa)] Wait wait wait. How'd you get past the ones in the moat?

[Pete (Master)] but it was very good to see how quickly they could eat through the remains

Thistle (Carissa) sniffs, "And you don't smell like poop."

Pete (Master) looks puzzled

[Pete (Master)] OH OH

Pete (Master) looks at Thistles feet

[Pete (Master)] Oh those will not do

[Pete (Master)] you need these

Pete (Master) lifts up his foot

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh cool! Gimme gimme!

[Pete (Master)] Metal coverings over the bottom of his boot

[Pete (Master)] That stops the black

[Pete (Master)] the grey of course you saw eats through just about any metals so you need to distract them

[Pete (Master)] push them away

[Thistle (Carissa)] Can't we just burn them?

Brer Necholas (TMO) taps his armored foot once on the floor.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Is the brown poop brown puddings?

[Pete (Master)] no it is water from the swamps

[Pete (Master)] that has ..... matured?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Eww from who's swamp? That's worse than normal swamp.

[Pete (Master)] I am not certain why the worshipers entertain that

[Pete (Master)] I always use the planks

[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe they used it as a toilet...

[Pete (Master)] So we can now start working on the windows

[Pete (Master)] and the new pews

[Pete (Master)] I ordered a new carpet

[Pete (Master)] and

[Pete (Master)] Oh

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The pool needs to be removed

[Pete (Master)] ahhh

Pete (Master) looks at Branwyn

[Pete (Master)] Countess?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes?

[Pete (Master)] I ... ah....

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The pool will be removed

[Pete (Master)] There are certain furnishings that will be arriving over the next few days

[Pete (Master)] that need....

[Pete (Master)] I ah

[Pete (Master)] payment

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You need to provide a list of what has been ordered so we can determine what we will accept and then pay for

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hoffman will be taking over the church but he is currently sleeping. He's had a hard day

[Pete (Master)] It is all needed

[Pete (Master)] for the restoration

[Pete (Master)] I have several more requests I am preparing

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Your former Master's renovation and Master Hoffman's restoration may differ somewhat

[Pete (Master)] there is the order for 200 candles that are to be delivered on the first of each month for example

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are to do no further work until you have consulted with him

[Pete (Master)] OH

[Pete (Master)] does that mean I can present my plans again?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Where do you get your candles?

[Pete (Master)] the front rooms are not in any shape to match the themes the original builders intended

[Pete (Master)] there is

[Pete (Master)] They come from the Estates

[Pete (Master)] pardon, the Quellcon Estates, Countess

[Pete (Master)] they have a supply of wax

[Pete (Master)] did you wish to supply instead?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe we can find someone in Dragon Fen to assist with such things

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is too soon for decisions as I said

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is enough for you to know that all is well.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We will be removing the glass case as well

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I don't suppose you were around when he set it up, were you?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Any ideas what he did to it?

[Pete (Master)] Certainly

[Pete (Master)] it is a masterpiece

[Pete (Master)] it will preserve the remains for eternity

[Pete (Master)] of course I did not cast any spells on it

[Pete (Master)] I only provided the glass and gold

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Is that all? No traps? What happens if it's opened?

[Pete (Master)] but the Master was able to seal it

[Pete (Master)] it cannot be opened

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And if it is touched?

[Pete (Master)] any thief that tries to open it gets sucked inside

[Pete (Master)] it is very masterful way to prevent anyone from disturbing the saint

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Saint?

[Pete (Master)] The master declared her as so

Brer Necholas (TMO) says nothing.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We wish to return her to the ... Estates

Pete (Master) shakes his head

[Pete (Master)] The magic the Master cast seals it for eternity

[Pete (Master)] His dwarf sealed it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We don't wish to open it. Simply to move it

Pete (Master) thinking

[Pete (Master)] I am not certain it can be moved

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Who and where is this dwarf of which you speak?

[Pete (Master)] it was built there, I did not anchor it to the stone specifically

[Pete (Master)] but

[Pete (Master)] I do not know the Master only worked with him sparingly

[Thistle (Carissa)] What dwarf? I thought Skarp was the only dwarf here.

[Pete (Master)] Who is Skarp?

[Thistle (Carissa)] The only dwarf here!

[Thistle (Carissa)] But apparently not

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (our dwarf - doesn't everyone have one?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (I know right?)

[Pete (Master)] (grins)

[Pete (Master)] quote

[Thistle (Carissa)] Who's your dwarf?

[Pete (Master)] I do not have a dwarf, they are only legendary

[Thistle (Carissa)] But you just said "The Master" had a dwarf

[Pete (Master)] the Master brings out his when he desires

[Thistle (Carissa)] (E-I-e-I-o)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Brought

[Thistle (Carissa)] Umm, brings him out from where?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe Skarp knows him!

[Pete (Master)] I do not know

[Thistle (Carissa)] Ughh then what use are you??

[Branwyn (Lisa)] What was his name?

Brer Necholas (TMO) clicks his tongue.

[Pete (Master)] more than you are... unless you are going to curse me

[Thistle (Carissa)] I have no problem damning you, too, if I have to!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] All right.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Calling me useless when you couldn't even save a damsel in distress. Pfft...

Thistle (Carissa) muttering to herself

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We need another day before any parishioners can come back

[Pete (Master)] They will be here this evening

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you needed to get rid of the stinking pool, how would you do it?

[Pete (Master)] who will be conducting services?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No one! I told you three days and it has been two

[Pete (Master)] to remove the pool? buckets?

Branwyn (Lisa) frowns

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Did Witherbane conduct services?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We must think on this

[Pete (Master)] No he had a priest come

[Pete (Master)] with the penitents

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] What was the man's name and where was he from?

Thistle (Carissa) still muttering, "Maybe if we toss Pete in his ego will soak it all up."

[Pete (Master)] Who?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] The priest. And when is he supposed to come back again?

[Pete (Master)] He will be here this evening

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We can talk with him tonight then.

[Spring] (that's it for me, I gotta go to bed

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (g'nite)

[Pete (Master)] Baron Ulgin

[Pete (Master)] (night Spring)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (night)

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Spring] gnite yall!

[Pete (Master)] he has been good at bringing in attendees

Spring has left the game on Fri Aug 28 22:42:16 EDT 2020

[Pete (Master)] and the offerings have paid for the candles

[Pete (Master)] May I ask what happened to the Master?

[Pete (Master)] Was there a battle? do I need to look at the damage for repairs?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Hey hey hey. Pete. We talked about this. WE ask the questions here.

[Thistle (Carissa)] And you're asking lots and answering little.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] He chose to fight rather than talk.

[Pete (Master)] I need to warn you about the crypts

[Thistle (Carissa)] Cleaned!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Next.

[Pete (Master)] the Master's dwarf put in a blocking ...

[Pete (Master)] Oh

[Pete (Master)] very well

[Thistle (Carissa)] The wall thing that squashes people?

[Pete (Master)] Yes

[Pete (Master)] a bit excessive

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well OUR gnome took care of it.

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Gnome beats Dwarf. Dwarf beats Elf. Elf beats Gnome?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (sounds kinky)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (LOL)

[Pete (Master)] Elf inherits the earth?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (They wish)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (and I support it)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We do need to speak to your priest about Tiera now that I think of it

[Pete (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEOxq7aVKh4

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Yes. Someone was performing rituals down there.

[Pete (Master)] When he arrives I will bring him to you

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] nods.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe it was HIS dwarf...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But all of these church plans must wait for Hoffman

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It will not be long

Pete (Master) nods

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you have the planks that allow you to walk across the pool?

[Pete (Master)] Certainly they are out side

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We need you to leave them so we can go back and forth today

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Until we can figure out the best way to get rid of that foul water

[Thistle (Carissa)] How'dja get the water in there in the first place, Petey?

[Pete (Master)] So you want a path across the pit

[Pete (Master)] barrels

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh! Like the one we!....oooooohhh

[Thistle (Carissa)] How many barrels?

[Pete (Master)] a few dozens

[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe Snee can make it disappear!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Shi's done that when it gets too much standing water in the forest. Just....poof! Gone.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be lovely, but I think if she could have done that she would have the first time we crossed

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or at least I hope so

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Oh darn, I looked. Guess it's Kenna with Create Water)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well can we drain it somewhere?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe someone with more engineering skills than Brer can figure that out.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (iirc, Create Water is reversible)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Into the moat perhaps

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Exactly TMO. My point :) )

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (ah, I misunderstood the 'oh darn' - I thought you misremembered the spell - it was the character)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol yes)

[Pete (Master)] Can I go look at the windows?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Whatcha looking for?

[Pete (Master)] I want to finish my plans for them

[Pete (Master)] I would like to fill them with stained glass

[Pete (Master)] the Master was thinking of enchanting them

[Thistle (Carissa)] How ya gonna do that?

[Thistle (Carissa)] And don'tcha need Hoffman to agree to that?

[Pete (Master)] I am

[Pete (Master)] well

[Pete (Master)] Countess

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] For a necromancer, he was very good at enchanting. I always thought they were separate magic talents.

[Pete (Master)] I am hopeful

[Pete (Master)] OH he was very good at getting others to do what he needed

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If you have a list of his contacts, Hoffman will probably find them useful.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You don't think some fresh air would be nice in this place?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Those are the only windows that open

[Thistle (Carissa)] Who enchants things for him? HIS dwarf?

[Pete (Master)] I have an ingenious plan if I do say so myself, to have the windows open themselves

[Pete (Master)] that is what The Master was going to enchant

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would have made things easier

[Pete (Master)] to have the glass itself move

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes but now a mage no longer resides here

[Pete (Master)] They would be great protectors of the sacristy

[Pete (Master)] But we have gained a great patron in the Countess Branwyn the Mysterious

[Pete (Master)] Saint Branwyn

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

Brer Necholas (TMO) chuckles.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] A patron that will not be spending much time here unfortunately

[Pete (Master)] I imagine that you will be making some changes to your liking

[Pete (Master)] a living saint is .... interesting to work with

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] You can say that again.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you know if the graves in the cemetery have been disturbed?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have not checked that yet

[Pete (Master)] Only the ones that were when we had the moat dug

[Pete (Master)] the goblin workforce was quick but not careful

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So no skeletons or zombies leaping out at innocents if they stroll around the church?

[Pete (Master)] I would not let them inside

[Pete (Master)] no no no

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (brb)

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is good at least

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is why you bricked up that passage in the catacombs?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] To keep the goblins out?

[Pete (Master)] yes

[Pete (Master)] I wanted to fill in the tunnel too

[Pete (Master)] but we only did about 10 feet

[Pete (Master)] just to stabilize behind the new wall

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you pay the goblins some tribute so they do not attack your parishioners

[Pete (Master)] They are not allowed to come out during the days

[Pete (Master)] at night we carry lanterns and if they threaten I remind them of who the Master is

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So they scare easily then.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Interesting

[Pete (Master)] They threaten mostly those on the road

[Pete (Master)] our camp has guards

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you for your help. Your information was very useful

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I don't have any more questions right now)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Carissa?)

[Pete (Master)] When can we discuss your ideas for the Cathedral?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Dunno sleepy time is interfering with my thoughts even though I did)

[Pete (Master)] (how many ways can I spell that?)

[Thistle (Carissa)] OH! Hey! Who died here recently, Pete?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (yay I remembered)

[Pete (Master)] What do you mean?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have told you it will be at least a day. You must wait for Hoffman

[Thistle (Carissa)] There were some stinky bodies. They died recently. Who was it?

[Pete (Master)] Bodies where?

[Thistle (Carissa)] What's it matter? They were dead. Who were they?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Worshippers or something?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you mean the stink of death he was trying to cover with lilac, Thistle?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oooooh was he covering up THAT stink? I thought it was the ghoul stink.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Although it smelled more like honeysuckle...or Howard's farts... by the other bodies.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Now I'm confused as well. Whose bodies?

[Thistle (Carissa)] You know! Oh wait. You were in back?

[Thistle (Carissa)] I dunno. Three dead bodies. Fresh. The puddings tried to eat them.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh. Oh.

[Pete (Master)] I do not know of any bodies

[Thistle (Carissa)] But do you know of any recent murders or deaths?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There were three dead bodies stuffed into a crypt and were rotting

[Thistle (Carissa)] People come to visit and never leave...?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not a proper burial. They were shoved in there.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Now I understand

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Pete

Thistle (Carissa) confused but also looks at Pete (attempting to look intimidating)

[Pete (Master)] I am not sure

[Thistle (Carissa)] Time to hazard a guess, yeah?

[Pete (Master)] I do not deal with the Master's areas

[Thistle (Carissa)] Just how willfully blind are ya, Petey?

[Pete (Master)] I am careful to avoid the areas the Master tells me to avoid

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Please make sure that you leave the planks up so we can leave the church freely and we shall be good for the day to take care of our other business here

[Pete (Master)] Very well Countess

[Thistle (Carissa)] Did you bring the food and cake like I asked at least??

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Pete (Master)] There are the baskets out side

[Thistle (Carissa)] And clothes?

[Pete (Master)] that I bring every day

[Pete (Master)] I did not bring any clothes

[Thistle (Carissa)] But I asked you to? I mean you DID help leave Emerald naked. You were supposed to bring clothes.

[Thistle (Carissa)] And I wanted cake.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can get the baskets!

Indigo (Lisa) face brightens

[Thistle (Carissa)] Check for cake! See if he's lying!

[Thistle (Carissa)] And if there isn't...

Indigo (Lisa) runs to the door to look for baskets

[Thistle (Carissa)] This is strike one, Petey.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 100'07".

Indigo (Lisa) looks around outside

[Master] Indigo finds two large baskets with lids

[Master] sitting on the steps

[Indigo (Lisa)] They're big!

Indigo (Lisa) brings the baskets inside in front of Thistle

[Indigo (Lisa)] See!

Thistle (Carissa) goes to look inside of them

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thistle moved 92'03".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 4'07".

[Thistle (Carissa)] (no obs if you're waiting for it)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (from me either)

Indigo (Lisa) lifts one of the lids

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (cobras)

[Master] just filled with basics, loaves of bread, jars of jam, a small ham and a dozen eggs

[Thistle (Carissa)] PETEY! WHERE IS MY CAKE AND CLOTHES?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ham is good

[Master] The other has veggies

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ham is good

Thistle (Carissa) does the whole finger eye watching you thing to Pete

[Master] grins

[Thistle (Carissa)] This is strike one, Petey. Two more and you're damned.

Thistle (Carissa) grabs something to snack on

Pete (Master) looks at Branwyn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Remember that is to feed all of us Indigo.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you for the food Pete

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We shall see you and Baron Ulgin this evening then

Thistle (Carissa) sticks tongue out at Pete and keeps eating

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let us take the baskets to the office so that we may share it with everyone

[Pete (Master)] Thank you Countess

Pete (Master) leaves

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Girl, I really don't think threatening to curse people is something you need to be doing.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Pffft, spoilsport.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He did bring fresh food even if it was not exactly what you wanted

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We should be grateful

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well cake would have been great, but he forgot clothes for Emerald. Who he didn't help before OR now. He's a jerk.

[Thistle (Carissa)] He knew she needed some.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] So that makes everything okay then?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] He's a jerk, so you can do whatever you want to him?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh me?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Who cares besides you?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] You should.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah yeah yeah

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Shi would care

Thistle (Carissa) frowns, "Well she's not here is she?"

[Thistle (Carissa)] So what does it matter?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hoffman may care if he wishes to work with him

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Don't you wish to be thought of as kind Thistle rather than spoiled child Thistle?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] 'She' is the elf lady that was travelling with you?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Then Hoffman should care that he has someone who actually listens to him. No some self-serving jerk.

[Thistle (Carissa)] No Shi. You have to kinda...roll your tongue or something? I don't know. I don't speak Elvish

[Thistle (Carissa)] Is it spoiled to think that someone should at least try to make amends to someone whom they harmed by inaction? Because then fine. I'm spoiled. And he's still a jerk.

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs. "So her opinion only matters to you when you're next to her?"

Thistle (Carissa) points finger at Brer, "She LEFT me. THAT's what matters."

[Thistle (Carissa)] Ugh, you both have gotten boring.

Thistle (Carissa) grabs a piece of bread and leaves

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs

Brer Necholas (TMO) sighs. "There's a reason I never had any children."

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This will work as she is still so young, but it will become increasingly unattractive as she gets older.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Sounds like you have your own light to cast into the future.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope Shi gets back soon. Partially this acting out is her missing her

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "Loss can be rough, especially on a child."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is so bright and fearless. She has not yet realized I think that those traits are not found in everyone. One needs patience sometimes with those that do not have the same will or intelligence

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs "And I speak of patience"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let's get some breakfast before Thistle eats it all

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Yes ma'am.

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Master] and scene

[Master] very nicely done tonight

[Carissa] Enjoyable

[Carissa] And yeah, that's also why I won't have children, TMO ;)

[TMO] LOL

[Master] chuckles

[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol

[TMO] It's not a one-and-done task. Takes years

[Carissa] Years and patience and so much patience

[Carissa] Being around my nephews is good enough for me

[Master] Hopefully everyone will be in next week

[Master] Hoffman can wake and you can deal with the pool and the moat and the griffon

[Lisa] yes

[Master] and put a wrap on this story arc

[Carissa] Parents are here, but quarantined by state laws so... might be late? But maybe not much? Dunno. We'll have to figure it out

[Lisa] John is going to be thrilled to learn he may be stuck with skeletal daughter

[Master] they have to stay in their room

[Carissa] *cabin

[TMO] lol

[Master] even better

[Carissa] Right but I bring dinner to them. We'll probably eat on the deck still, etc. etc.

[Master] baskets of food on the front steps

[Master] did you not learn anything?

[Carissa] lol pretty much what I keep envisioning

[Lisa] don't forget the cake

[Carissa] LOL

[Master] grins

[TMO] My mother in law just flew back into town from a single day in Florida. *sigh*

[Master] ouch

[Carissa] She was there for just one day?

[TMO] yup

[Carissa] Is Texas doing quarantines for out of state still?

[Master] She is a person not a valuable cattle

[Carissa] :P

[TMO] I'm not sure that there's a mandate about it

[Carissa] Eh, we also quarantine the less valuable cattle, too

[Lisa] we don't have one

[Lisa] we just got a color coding system that's different than our county coding system

[TMO] last time she traveled, she self-quarantined for a week. I haven't heard anyone say anything this time.

[Lisa] so is crazy

[Carissa] Way back at the start, when I was debating visiting, I found out TX would want me to quarantine because NY. Clearly now the opposite

[Carissa] So confusing what each state wants. Good thing travel mostly is still out of the picture

[Carissa] Sigh

[Carissa] Well on that happy note, might be late but will let you know

[Carissa] Otherwise night all :)

[TMO] have a good week all
