[Lisa] Hi Spring!

[Spring] hi!

[Lisa] Ready as I'll ever be

[Master] grins

[Master] How is the air for you there?

[Lisa] lol

[Spring] orange?

[Master] heard that the fires are to the east of you now?

[Lisa] breathing is not recommended at the moment

[Master] that sucks

[Lisa] fires are all over

[Lisa] worst air quality in over 30 years

[Lisa] but not as bad here as it is up north

[Lara] hi Lisa! hi BOB! hi Spring!

[Lisa] and a good note is that the smoke has blocked out the sun

[Lara] @Lisa - are you guys okay? very worried about what going on over there

[Spring] hi Lara!

[Lisa] Temps are 10 degrees cooler because the sun can't get through all the smoke!

Lara smiles

[Spring] ugh

[Lisa] Hi Lara! Thanks! I'm fine. Just another day in hell :-)

[Lara] oh man...like when I went to Xian China - the smell gets in your pores

[Lisa] Getting used to it

[Lara] @BOB - who will we be missing tonight?

[Lara] uh oh. I just messed up my other monitor

[Lara] brb

[Spring] :-(

[Master] I have not heard anyone say they will not be in

[Lara] nope. got it.

[Master] Michael will be about 930 Carissa about 8

[Lisa] How are you doing Spring? Still in home repairs?

[Lara] is john still moving? we started the house remodel

[Lisa] Remodel? My sympathies for the process.

[Spring] waiting for the roof to dry out fully so I can patch it

[Spring] the universe making me do something else for awhile

[Spring] sympathies on the remodel :-P

[Lara] actually, I am shocked at how quick it is going!

[Lara] I知 very happy so far

[Spring] well, yay!

[Spring] :-)

[Lara] very, VERY surprised

[Lisa] Great news!

[Lara] thanks! @Spring, I'm sorry your roof hasn't dried out yet :-(

[Spring] thanks. super humidity

[Spring] it actually may be dry but the weather is not, so it's mot anyway

[Spring] *moot

[Spring] the tarp is still up and well positioned and functional, so insha allah when we get two days of sun, I can work with it

[Master] So John said Maybe for being in tonight

Ryan has joined the game on Fri Sep 11 19:18:37 EDT 2020

Ryan is receiving the map Abandoned Farmhouse...

[Lisa] was thinking you were going to say it's moat anyway

Ryan has received the map Abandoned Farmhouse.

[Lisa] Hi Ryan! :)

[Ryan] Hello!

[Spring] hi Ryan!

[Ryan] Sorry that I am late. I worked today, so I had to wait until my crying stopped enough for me to see the screen.

[Lara] hi Ryan!

[Ryan] Hello! Hello!

[Lara] @Ryan :-(

[Spring] we're still at the aimless chatter stage anyway

[Master] HUGS Ryan

[Master] I actually have no idea what you do

TMO has joined the game on Fri Sep 11 19:20:26 EDT 2020

TMO is receiving the map Abandoned Farmhouse...

[Master] Onion prep?

TMO has received the map Abandoned Farmhouse.

[Lisa] Hi TMO!

[Lisa] LOL Bob!

[Ryan] Close. Short order cook in a Korean restaurant

[Ryan] We use a lot of garlic so I cry a lot

[Master] ahhh

[TMO] (hello - sorry I'm a bit late. was eating)

[Ryan] And that red pepper paste always makes me look like I came out of a bloodbath.

[Master] Ryan was cooking for everyone

[Lara] hi TMO!

[Ryan] Hi TMO!

[Master] now you want to make him feel bad you already ate

[Ryan] I slaved away for days.... :(

[Spring] hahahaha

[Master] so starting off tonight is dealing with the griffon that is up there, points to the tree to the south of this map, where the griffon is eating the rear end of your horse

[Spring] hi TMO!

[Ryan] Also, it took me weeks to find enough food for tonight's dinner

[Ryan] Those dogs are fast.

[Master] chuckles

[Ryan] (I'm Korean, so I am allowed to make that joke)

[Master] When I was in ponyang (spelling) you could buy leg of dog with the hair still on it

[Ryan] I am back at the keyboard.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Oh, a man of sophistication, I see.)

[TMO] (one of my favorite restaurant jokes was a guy who said he worked at a Mongolian restaurant, right next to a Chinese restaurant, wondering why there wasn't a big-ass wall between them)

[Master] LOL TMO

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (LOL)

[TMO] (I have not been to Korea, but my wife has - her Dad was stationed there for a few years, and she visited once)

[TMO] (apparently every man there really wants a tall wife - she was apparently proposed to multiple times)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] My wife isn't even six feet. How tall is your wife, and is she available?

[Spring] hahahaha

JohnA has joined the game on Fri Sep 11 19:26:08 EDT 2020

JohnA is receiving the map Abandoned Farmhouse...

[Master] HAH

JohnA has received the map Abandoned Farmhouse.

[Master] and JOHN!

[Spring] hi John!

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Hi John!)

[JohnA] hello all

[Lara] hi TMO!

[TMO] (she's 6'2", and NO, SHE'S NOT)

[Lisa] Hi John! :)

[Lara] hi John! hope the move went well

[JohnA] the move is never over

[TMO] (Hi John! And Lisa! And Lara! And Ryan! And Bob! And Toto!)

[Lara] awwwwwwwww

[Lara] (does some really have a dog named Toto?)

[TMO] (not me. Mine's named Olaf)

[Master] lost in Africa

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Lucky man. My wife understands that I have divorce papers filled out in case I ever meet anyone who is 6'5")

[Master] Oh man

[TMO] (well then, you'd LOVE my sister-in-law.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (LOL)

[TMO] (and my wife's growth was stunted - they estimate she would have reached 6'7)

[Spring] my dog is Sophie

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (My dog is Lucifer, even though my wife insists I am a filthy liar and that her name is really Lucy.)

[Lara] @TMO - how tall are YOU?

[TMO] (Before I set up a meet between you and my sister-in-law, I warn you that you'd have tall boots to fill. Her first husband was 6'6, her second 6'10)

[Lisa] very

[TMO] (I am not very. I'm only 6'3)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I can spring for leg implants)

[Lara] I don't have my dog yet. In 12 years when I retire.

[Lara] instead have two cats, Abby and JJ, who pay me no mind. they completely ignore me. only love my husband.

[Master] So John what do you need to know to be caught up?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Yes, I am 6'10". What do you mean, I am standing on foot-tall stilts? That's crazy.)

[Spring] aw, Lara :-(

[JohnA] Just confirm Hoffman is still sleeping?

[TMO] (yeahhhh... I don't think you'd fit in this family)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Too tall? Story of my life....)

[Master] yes to Hoffman sleeping Foto is up at the farmhouse with the rest of the group

[TMO] (father in law is the short one of 4 brothers at 6'8)

[TMO] (my 12 year old son is 5'10, my 13 year old nephew is 6'4 or 5)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Wait wait wait... 12 year old son? Are.... am I.... Aren't we all teenagers?)

[TMO] (yep!)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I thought that was why we always ran into danger yet somehow managed to always survive.)

[TMO] (no, that's just because we're stupid)

[Master] LOL

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Oh, fair.)

[Master] OK so focus

[TMO] (NEVER)

[Master] the Griffon is the first problem to deal with

TMO chases after a butterfly

[Spring] hahahahaha

[Spring] squirrel!

Lara notices red ball rolling outside

[Spring] last week we considered whether to just leave it there and make sure the blue rule is widely known

[Lara] (wanna ride bikes?)

[Spring] or whether to kill it

[Master] that is the decision to make now

[Lara] we classified the griffon as a monster

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (And then BOB just shuts down the server and tells us that rocks fell, we all died.)

[Spring] for some reason shooing it away is not an option

[TMO] on the plus side, the current congregation already knows the blue rule

[Master] I never said that Spring

[Lara] we talked ab out re-training, re-locating, and all other kinds of "re-s"

[Spring] no, I think it was someone else

[TMO] shooing it away just foists the problem off onto unsuspecting innocents who don't know the blue rule

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs.

[Master] I present the problems, the group comes up with ideas to try and then attempts to execute your ideas

[Spring] right

[TMO] shrink spell and a leash

[Spring] I phrased badly

[Master] warm smiles

[Lara] I have a weird question---does anyone know if there are repercussions if we kill it?

[Lara] what if we kill it and it becomes something else?

[JohnA] It becomes dead

[Lisa] not if we eat it after we kill it

[Lara] shrink spell may not last long enough

[Lisa] tastes like chicken

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[TMO] find a scroll of permanence. have your own chibi griffon

[JohnA] Polymorph other might be a good option, not killing it (probably)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Find a necromancer, get a griffon that never tires.)

[Lara] okay. we can change it into something else. maybe a friend for doggie?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] And then cut off its head?

[Lara] after all, our dog's name is Griffon

[Lara] isn't it?

Skarphedin (Ryan) squints.

[TMO] Griff

[JohnA] well, no guarantee it is still does not think it is a griffon

[Lara] ooooo; sorry

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Should we kill Griff and the griffon, then? Just to be safe?

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

Lara laughs

[Lisa] it will still have the griffon deal though won't it? So would be a canary that swoops down and peck everyone not in blue for instance and doesn't want to leave the church

[Lisa] if you kept polymorph as a bird for instance

[Lara] let me ask this: if it is a monster, why are we having such a hard time killing it?

[Lisa] I'm not per se

[Lara] we kill wraiths

[TMO] because it hasn't attacked us directly, because we know the blue rule

[Spring] dunno

[Lara] okay

[Lisa] what tmo said

[Lara] is because it is partly animal?

[Spring] probably because we've spent so much time with elves who see things differently

[Lisa] it's just that it's not super evil

[Spring] so we're all like "that would have been a pet"

[Lara] okay - it hasn't attacked us...and someone mentioned that our congregation knows the blue rule

[Lisa] a wraith lives to drain you

[Lara] okay...this is good

[Lisa] yes but anyone new does not

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (So, never marry a wraith. Got it.)

[Lara] but what about animals like horses that come around the church? are there wild horses?

[Lisa] if Hoffman wants to set up a community and have trade etc.

[Lisa] lol Ryan

[Lara] will we be okay knowing that the griffon will eat straying horses, dogs, etc.

[Lara] circle of life, so to speak

[JohnA] Hoffman wants it dead, but if it is a horse maybe he won't notice

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I love dogs more than I lvoe many people.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Or love them, even.

[Lara] well, we are disputing the nature of the beast. it is in its nature to kill anything not draped in blue.

[Lisa] unless someone has something concrete to do with it I would say to do what John is asking

[TMO] fine by me

[Lara] John, what are you asking exactly?

[TMO] won't be hard. send Brer out not in blue and when it comes down hit it with a lightning bolt

[JohnA] Ouch, that did not work out last time

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] We'll try not to use a lightning bolt WHILE it is holding Brer.

[Lara] (I was thinking the same thing)

[Master] and Carissa did tell me not to text her if there is a griffon fight, wry grin

[Lara] okay. are we SURE we do not want to re-train? is there anyone who could break the blue spell?

[JohnA] how about Polymorph when it attacks?

[JohnA] no one we know

[Lara] how is it that the griffon only attacks non-blue?

[JohnA] is there a reason you do not want to kill it?

[Lara] I知 fine with killing it. I am just going through all the options.

[Lisa] it was trained that way

[Lara] there is always a domino effect when you kill something, especially if it hasn't attacked us directly

[Lara] so what would we polymorph it into?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Does it have to be an intelligent creature?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Because if not, I vote elf.

[JohnA] well if we wanted to make sure it is dead, a fish

[Master] WOW

[Lisa] lol

[JohnA] (that in character?)

[TMO] lol

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Yes....?)

[Lisa] lol

[Spring] hahahahaha

[Spring] dayum

[Lara] I知 looking up the Polymorph Other specifics...they are a little like

[Lara] long

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (The next morning, the party found that somehow Skarphedin had tripped in the middle of the night and fallen onto 20 arrows)

[Master] First who has Polymorph other memorized right now?

[Lisa] (if you want to polymorph it - I can do that)

[Lisa] me

[Master] OK

[Lisa] it gets a save so no guarantee

[JohnA] no guarantee in life or death

[Lara] do you have caterpillar cocoon? M component

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] What is the range? If you cast polymorph, would you have time to cast another spell before it grabbed someone?

[Spring] music, just not YouTube https://twitter.com/RexChapman/status/1304525341835382784

[JohnA] but that is why it would be nice to cast first

[Lisa] no one has range weapons except the casters

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Right, what is the range on the spell?

[Lara] Polymorph Other is permanent too

[Lara] 5 yards range

[Lisa] 5yds/level

[Lara] also is this a magical creature? I am not sure I know

[Lisa] so 60 yards or 180 feet

[JohnA] well, funny you should say that, nothing is permanent, it just does not wear off

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I would choose 180 feet. Sounds longer.

[Lara] my bad, yes 5yds/level (so Branwyn is 12xetc) do maths

[Lisa] no it is no magical - it can't cast

[JohnA] smiles

[Spring] :-)

[Lisa] if you want to do that I can

[Lara] ah. as for a creature to be considered magical , it has to be able to cast?

[JohnA] I did not come here to do math

[Lisa] if Lara wants to electrocute it that's fine too

[Lisa] funny - me either!

[Lara] ACK! lol

[Lara] I知 not sure that I picked my spells...should I do that?

[Lisa] you did last week

[Lara] don't be mad, but I might need help again

[Lara] um...lol...I知 not sure that I did

[Lisa] it's the same day as last week

[Master] It is only an hour or two later

[Lisa] you sat in front of the farmhouse and picked

[Lara (to JohnA only)] can you check my character sheet?

[JohnA (to Lara only)] I can

[Master] so you have the cast on the griffon option first it seems with an attack it second if the spell does not work

[Lara (to JohnA only)] thank you. I don't think I did...

[TMO] sounds good to me

[Master] Lisa?

[Master] John?

[JohnA (to Lara only)] you have it locked

[Lara (to JohnA only)] my bad. I知 out of it

[Lisa] Lara - you get 14 spells a day and you cast 1 spell last week and it looks like you have 13 right now

[Master] Griffon #4 moved 19'11".

[JohnA] shows 1 1st and 2 nd, unless you cast them today

[JohnA (to GM only)] Character sheet for Emerald modified:

[Lara] okay

[Lara] I can confirm that I have lightning bolt but I did not memorize reduce...

[JohnA (to Lara only)] looks like you cast hose two spells, most are already ready

[Lisa] fine

[Lisa] so polymorph rather than kill?

Lisa thinks of an animal

[TMO] chinchilla

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I would be okay with a fish.

[JohnA] Trible might want a mate

[TMO] marmoset

[Lara] we are going to watch the fish die, though. lol.

[Spring] alpaca!

[Lara] bunny rabbit

[JohnA] it is on the roof spring

[JohnA] how will we get it down

[Lisa] was trying to think of an animal that doesn't move fast and we won't mind killing

[Spring] they're nimble

[Master] It is in a tree right now

[Lisa] was in the tree and not on roof

[Spring] make it a goat, it can get its own self down

[JohnA] rabbit sounds like a scene from Monty python

[Lara] Tasmanian devil

[Lisa] Branwyn moved 45'11".

[JohnA] Indigo moved 0'11".

[JohnA] Uncle Fotopoulos moved 28'00".

[Lisa] we going to do this thing?

[JohnA] you池e a go

[Lisa] remember that Emerald has feather fall memorized in case someone needs to drop

[Lara] green for go

[Lara] one moment. didn't I lose feather fall?

[Lisa] (need a map change to get to griffin I thought

[Lisa] you lost glitter dust

[Lisa] don't have a griffon on this map

[JohnA] not sure you need to target, but that is bob's call

[Master] I will put the griffon on your map because if it does make its save it will be coming for you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes)

[Master] Griffon #4 moved 5'00".

[Master] there you go

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (It will be coming for us to tell us to stop?)

[Master] It is watching you but eating

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Giving sternly worded reprimands?)

[Master] no one has attacked it yet

[Lara] (where it is it? we don't want it falling on anyone)

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at griffon thinking and then closes her eyes

[Lisa] Branwyn targets Griffon #4. Distance: 36'04"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Attack: Cestus:: is now ARMED.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Attack: Tacharin; one hand:: is now ARMED.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Attack: Shield:: is now ARMED.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Attack: Shield:: is NO LONGER ARMED.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Attack: Shield, secondary:: is now ARMED.

Emerald (Lara) waits

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against Griffon #4: Polymorph Other: Save vs spell or permanently become an animal.

Branwyn (Lisa) pictures a pig

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Attack: Hrotti:: is now ARMED.

Emerald (Lara) slowly breathes in an out

[Master] Griffon #4: Magical Spell save: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 13!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (wow)

[Spring] (yay)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (anti-climax!)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Huzzah)

Indigo (Lisa) looks and starts laughing

[JohnA] dex check?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Now, let's cut its head off.

[Emerald (Lara)] (I知 hungry)

[JohnA] laughing on inside

[Indigo (Lisa)] (It should have the hps of a griffon - just can't fly away)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I saw that as 'hips of a griffon')

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I'm like, wait, we are body shaming the griffon?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[JohnA] lol

Emerald (Lara) wondering if the pig is going to run away

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (does it stay in the tree?)

[Master] I do not have a pig image to use

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (really?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (boar would do in a pinch)

[Master] It is in the tree, it squeals and falls out

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (boars are pretty deadly)

[JohnA] how did that pig get in the tree

[Master] I looked for that too, not sure where it went to

[Indigo (Lisa)] SPLAT!

[JohnA] damage?

[Master] falling down it takes (2d6) [2d6=2,4] 6 points of damage

Emerald (Lara) wonders if the pig is dead

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (pig hooves are not good for grasping tree branches)

[Master] Griffon #4's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 50 (-6) - Lightly Wounded

[Master] it lands heavy

[Snezana (Spring)] aw

[Indigo (Lisa)] Guess we should go take care of it, huh?

[Master] and then it runs away squealing and crashing around

[Snezana (Spring)] too late

[Indigo (Lisa)] Wait, look at it go!

Emerald (Lara) watches pig run away and wonders if it will attack blue flowers

[JohnA] some farmer is in for one heack of a surprise

[Emerald (Lara)] I mean non-blue animals

Branwyn (Lisa) shrugs "Eating so many horses. That's what came to mind."

[Emerald (Lara) (to Master only)] fyi, there is no way I will be able to stay up till 12am tonight. I知 exhausted.

Skarphedin (Ryan) mourns the loss of pork for dinner.

[Master] Pending XP award: 40.

[Master] Pending XP award: 80.

[Master] Pending XP award: 80.

[Master] Pending XP award: 40.

[Master] Pending XP award: 80.

[Master] Pending XP award: 40.

[Master] Pending XP award: 40.

[Master] Pending XP award: 40.

[Master] Pending XP award: 40.

[Master] Pending XP award: 40.

[Master] Pending XP award: 80.

[Snezana (Spring)] welp, what else?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So the griffon and the farmhouse are taken care of at least.

[Emerald (Lara)] (are we going OOC for the muck pond?)

[Master (to Lara only)] no worries, you need rest for tomorrow, grins, Noon to Midnight!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Think Hoffman should just burn the house down. It's easier to build from scratch than try to fix that thing

[Snezana (Spring)] seconded

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] I think you know he likes a challenge

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] not sure which is more of a challenge

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald moved 24'07".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He may well but that house is worse than it ever was.

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald moved 35'11".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Everything is crumbling

Emerald (Lara) looks at barrel and wonders if that was there a little while ago

[Master] yes

[Master] it was there when the group put it there a couple of days ago

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald moved 33'02".

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] so we need to burn the pudding? we have a lot of wood then?

Emerald (Lara) walks away disinterested

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So ... back to the church or we can take a peek under the trapdoor and see if there's anything in the cellar. I'm out of fire spells for the moat and we would need oil to make it catch in a large way

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And unless someone has come up with a brilliant idea for the pool.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We can have people try to work on the glass case

[Snezana (Spring)] we could make a trench from the pool to the moat and drain the former into the latter

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We now know there is a magical trap

[JohnA] did you discuss the metamorphose Liquids?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not for that quantity)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That sucks you inside. So magical traps can be dispelled

[JohnA] Foto has dispel

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe we can take care of it after all

[Snezana (Spring)] if we can find a source of water, we can then rinse the pool further int the moat

[Snezana (Spring)] (damn my typing per the usual)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If we want to make a giant problem for the future, drain the moat into the swamp.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Or you can call it "aggressive castle defenses"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no draining moat)

[Snezana (Spring)] I wonder if the puddings would get dysentery

[Snezana (Spring)] if we drain the septic pool into the moat

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Lanek and Howard need a cure disease at some point)

[Snezana (Spring)] (oh still? okay)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So back to the church?

[Lara] I am away from the keyboard.

Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA) follows

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (don't think anyone wanted to spend spells taking care of them when it happened)

[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Cure Disease: Disease is cured.

[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Cure Disease: Disease is cured.

Branwyn (Lisa) heads back up the lane

[Snezana (Spring)] (Lanek and Howard)

[Master] very well

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (wow! that was easy! :) )

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Snezana (Spring)] (nice dsafrewgdbsfgareasgr'lgasfkhgf

Lisa is receiving the map Church Ground Floor...

Lisa has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Snezana (Spring)] omg

[Snezana (Spring)] fuck whatever I was gonna say

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (yes, that was a nice dsafrewgdbsfgareasgr'lgasfkhgf. I was just about to say something about it myself)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Ohhh ... thank you Snee. I feel cleaner and better from the inside out!

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (lol)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] (I thought we would do that AFTER the muck was gone)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (but we have planks now!)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] (still)

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

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (the latest technology)

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

[Master] spared no expense

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (and so anyone with dispel can wake Hoffman)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (One day, we will unlock.... WHEEL)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] (stop muck measure)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (unless he wants to stay asleep until 6 PM)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] (I am sure he is enjoying his sleep)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] (Foto would not dare try and dispel Branwyn magic, without specific request)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (don't be silly)

[Master] Uncle Fotopoulos moved 26'10".

[Master] Griff (dog) moved 27'01".

[Master] Indigo moved 36'10".

[Master] Lord Tiberius moved 66'04".

[Master] Sundown moved 58'04".

[Master] Emerald moved 29'09".

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 45'01".

[Master] Branwyn moved 50'02".

[Master] Skarphedin moved 48'04".

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so we have 3 things to possibly dispel - Hoffman, glass case and Black Spell Book)

[Master] Snezana moved 50'09".

[Master] Howard Plum moved 61'09".

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] Uncle Fotopoulos moved 14'06".

[Master] Lanek moved 50'03".

[Master] Thistle moved 30'04".

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I guess I do feel bad about her

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (a super good remove traps roll may work on the spell book - or I can spring it in the morning)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Feel bad about who?

Lord Tiberius (Master) Her, points to the girl

[Lara] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] She is just a little girl after all

Branwyn (Lisa) nods

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I thought she was a wizard

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You did get a little carried away

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh she was

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But you know that you just had to hit her once and she couldn't cast for a bit

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] She had a wand out

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I stopped her from using it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Would have given you enough time to subdue her without killing her

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Everyone said this is an evil place,

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] and well.... shrugs

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] She did have a hell hound too

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That definitely needed to die

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald moved 3'02".

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Was she mean to you Emerald?

[Emerald (Lara)] I don't know that I met her

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] So what do we do with her now?

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] I believe Branwyn wants me to cast Dispel magic on it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If we can remove that trap I would bring her back with her father tomorrow

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles at Foto

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] Are we ready?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Can we just smash it?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Pete said that anyone that tries to break in gets sucked inside the case

[Emerald (Lara)] (isn't the girl in the case Black Cloak's daughter?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I prefer you at this size darling, not shrunk into a glass case

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] maybe someone could chant, give us a better chance

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Drop a giant rock on it from the upper level.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Drop a black pudding on it from the upper level. Let it get sucked inside and see who wins the fight.

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] And here I thought we were safe with Hoffman asleep

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Snezana (Spring)] are you serious about the chanting?

Brer Necholas (TMO) frowns. "Actually, that isn't a bad castle defense. Assuming the pudding wins, you wind up with a lethal trap in your foyer. Someone who tries to break it gets sucked inside and eaten."

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] yes, this is very evil, maybe very powerful, I would appreciate the assist

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kafVkPxjLYg

[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Chant: For as long as I chant, friends in a 30' radius receive a +1 to attack, damage and save rolls while enemies receive a -1 to the same rolls.

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] Uncle Fotopoulos casts a spell against : Dispel Magic - Priest: I dispel (11-(1d20)+7) [1d20=15] 3 level magic.

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] (well the math is not right)

Emerald (Lara) closes eyes and send good energy to Foto

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I was just thinking that)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] (unless that is 3 higher than I am?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (it appears to be 18-1d20)

[Master] so you dispelled 10th level magic

[Master] 7th level plus the 3

[Master] I am going to rule that the Chant gives you a plus 1 and you dispel 11th level magic

[Master] However you need to hit 12th level magic to dispel an Other Magic Item

[Emerald (Lara)] (I also have dispel magic...can I help?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (12th lvl !! jeeze - how much did that cost him?)

[Master] You would make your own roll but Lisa pointed out earlier you have three things to use dispel magic on

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (could have resurrected her for that most likely)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ehhh - I can have unseen servant spring the trap tomorrow game time)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (trap)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] (Foto has no more 3rd level today)

Snezana (Spring) still chanting

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (or someone can dispel it tomorrow - just on my to do list)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] Sorry, seems it was still not enough Snee

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (question is Hoffman - he needs one to wake early)

[Master] how many Dispel Magic spells did Emerald memorize?

[Emerald (Lara)] 1

Snezana (Spring) while chanting, gesturing to see if anyone else wants to do something

[Master] so you would want to use that on waking Hoffman? or another try at the case?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Snee or Foto may have another one)

[Emerald (Lara)] Waking Hoffman

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] tomorrow for sure

Snezana (Spring) while chanting, shakes head no to dispel magic

[Master] Time of Day: 10:34 AM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Din {Mid Spring} 12th, 349 SKR.

Snezana (Spring) while chanting holds up fingers counting down

[Snezana (Spring)] five

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] you can stop Snee, thank you

Snezana (Spring) stops

Skarphedin (Ryan) glances about.

Emerald (Lara) nods at Snee and gently smiles

Indigo (Lisa) claps

[Snezana (Spring)] sorry I can't dispel today.

[Snezana (Spring)] because of the two cure disease

Snezana (Spring) bows to indigo

Indigo (Lisa) grins

[Master] so heading back down to the chamber?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (everyone?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Yeppers)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] I should go

[Emerald (Lara) (to Master only)] test...big black hole?

[Lisa] Indigo moved 19'07".

[Lisa] Lord Tiberius moved 20'09".

[Master] Instead of Edit Calendar I hit Pick Date and a weird menu came up, I closed out and presto Lisa was kicked out

[Master] but only her apparently

[Master] her system is more sensitive to java fluctuations

[Master] I guess

[Uncle Fotopoulos (JohnA)] (so that is what that button does?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is the eject Lisa button)

[Master] chuckles

[Emerald (Lara)] (welcome back!)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Quick, find the Fiesta Friday button)

[Master] and how many more hours has it been for healing for Hoffman?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (5 so he should be fully healed)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (he needed 4 more)

[Master] [Hoffman]]'s Current Hit Points: adjusted to 48 (8) - Unharmed

[Master] and someone can cast Dispel and wake him and the conversations can start

[Master] I will refill and empty water

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Emerald (Lara)] I will dispel magic for Hoffman

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald moved 20'08".

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald casts a spell against : Dispel Magic - Wizard: I dispel level (11-1d20+7) [1d20=11] 7 magic.

Emerald (Lara) says gently "Hoffman?"

[Emerald (Lara) (to JohnA only)] now what?

[JohnA] (waiting on ruling of what level that is)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Skarphedin moved 17'04".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it should be fine)

[JohnA] brb

[JohnA] I am away from the keyboard.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Skarphedin moved 25'02".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's a 2nd level spell - so easy)

Indigo (Lisa) walks to Skarp "Isn't this great?"

[Emerald (Lara)] (you mean the healing dream?)

[JohnA] I am back at the keyboard.

[Indigo (Lisa)] We just walk all over this place and nothing jumps out anymore!

[JohnA] I thought it was still based on the level of the caster?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes Lara)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] It is a good feeling not being attacked by undead.

[Emerald (Lara)] (thank you!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I don't know how that spell works)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh yes! Like a regular church now

Skarphedin (Ryan) glances around. "Not enough stonework for that."

[Emerald (Lara)] (since Branwyn cast the spell and I am at a lower level, then it might not be strong enough to dispel...not sure)

[Indigo (Lisa)] How much does it need?

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Emerald (Lara)] I am having a hard time deciphering it

[Master] It is the level of the caster

[Emerald (Lara)] The caster can always dispel his own magic; otherwise, the chance to dispel depends on the difference in level between the magical effect and the caster. The base chance is 50% (11 or higher on 1d20 to dispel). If the caster is of higher level than the creator of the effect to be dispelled, the difference is subtracted from the number needed on 1d20 to dispel (making it more likely that the dispel succeeds); if the caster is of lower level, the difference is added to the number needed on 1d20 to dispel (making it less likely that the dispel succeeds). A roll of 20 always succeeds and a roll of 1 always fails. Thus, if a caster is 10 levels higher, only a roll of 1 prevents the effect from being dispelled.

[Emerald (Lara)] (HUH?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (5 levels difference)

[Master] you rolled an 11 needed to roll an 18

[Indigo (Lisa)] (why does this session keep reverting to maths?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (math IS magic)

[Master] 16

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no kidding!)

[Emerald (Lara)] (so Hoffman is still asleep? lol)

[Master] it expires on its own

[Master] Just not right away

[Master] BUT there is nothing else you wanted to work on right?

[Master] just waking up Hoffman then ....

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we can do some reading and detecting)

[Master] go for it

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but not emergency stuff)

[Master] up to you

[Master] do you want that now? or wait till later and move to Hoffman while everyone is here?

[Master] I vote the later

[Indigo (Lisa)] (me too)

[Master] OK

[Master] 10 pm correct?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (wait - more maths - it's earlier than that)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I thought it was 6 PM)

[Master] we will go with 6

[Master] Time of Day: 06:00 PM. Day 12 Lad ___ tre, Din {Mid Spring} 12th, 349 SKR.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (had in my head that he would wake when the priest came)

[Master] and Hoffman awakes

[Master] Sundown moved 61'10".

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 55'04".

[Master] Griff (dog) moved 59'04".

[Master] Lanek moved 41'09".

[JohnA] everyone just sits and waits for him to wake

[Master] Howard Plum moved 19'07".

[Master] Uncle Fotopoulos moved 44'03".

[Master] Emerald moved 5'10".

[JohnA] no one even tries to kiss him?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (you want Brer to try?)

[Master] Griff (dog) moved 20'05".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yup - we've been sitting there watching you sleep)

[Master] Griff (dog) targets [Hoffman]]. Distance: 0'00"

[Master] Griff (dog) LICK

[Master] Griff (dog) moved 1'04".

Skarphedin (Ryan) looks around for the pig so it can kiss Hoffman.

Hoffman (JohnA)] Good morning

Hoffman (JohnA)] how is everyone

Emerald (Lara) smiles at Hoffman

Hoffman (JohnA)] Thank you Branwyn, that was very restful

Hoffman (JohnA)] (Hello Carissa)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (good, just in time to miss the bloody griffon slaughter.)

[Carissa] (hi all!)

[Emerald (Lara)] (hi Carissa!)

[Carissa] (yeahhhh wasn't rushing back for a reason ;))

[Indigo (Lisa)] (wasn't that)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (our blue cloaks aren't blue anymore)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hi Carissa!)

[Snezana (Spring)] hi Carissa!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] How are you feeling Hoffman?

Hoffman (JohnA)] rested, clam, ready to get to work

Hoffman (JohnA)] I feel like I could take on a griffon single handed

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh you don't have to worry about that!

[Indigo (Lisa)] You should see! We cleaned up lots of stuff!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I suggested shrinking the griffon down to one-hand size, but apparently that's not a thing we can do.

Hoffman (JohnA)] oh, how is the house of evil, the other one

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "Still dark but it has nothing inside it"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Are you ready for visitors?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We should probably go upstairs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Pete and a Baron Ulgin should be arriving shortly

Hoffman (JohnA)] Oh sure, start with the hard part

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

Hoffman (JohnA)] Ok

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Hi Carissa)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I put him off from this morning

Hoffman (JohnA)] Almost dying should give me a good excuse

[Indigo (Lisa)] But all the grey ooze is gone and the griffon is a pig and and the ghouls are gone and all the dead undead we burnt and and I think that's it

[Indigo (Lisa)] We lost another horse though

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] And you wondered why I left my horse behind.

Hoffman (JohnA)] yea, the griffon does eat a lot, that is why it had to die, glad you took care of it, anybody hurt?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, if you could ask Pete for the loan of a horse, it would make the trip to Quellcon less burdensome

Hoffman (JohnA)] certainly

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh it's not dead Hoffman

[Indigo (Lisa)] Pigs run fast!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Especially when they fall out of trees

Hoffman (JohnA)] why was there a pig in a tree?

Indigo (Lisa) points at Branwyn

Hoffman (JohnA)] tempting the Griffon?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Trying to fly.

[Snezana (Spring)] the griffon has been turned into a pig

[Snezana (Spring)] and was in a tree when it happened

[Snezana (Spring)] it seemed surprised

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

Hoffman (JohnA)] Oh, thank you Snee

Hoffman (JohnA)] does it know it's a pig?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] The minds of pigs are a mystery to mortal man.

Hoffman (JohnA)] I understand it may still think it's a griffon

Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles.

[Indigo (Lisa)] So it might want to eat itself

Hoffman (JohnA)] I doubt that

[Carissa] (I dunno...pigs eat anything...)

Hoffman (JohnA)] but there is one tough pig out there, what color was it?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Pig colored. Pink

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) starts walking back upstairs

[Indigo (Lisa)] A girl made it

Indigo (Lisa) shrugs

Hoffman (JohnA)] wonder if you could have made it a blue pig?

Hoffman (JohnA)] just so we would know

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Next time I will think of that

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Anyone have any paint?

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

Hoffman (JohnA)] so who is this Baron person?

Hoffman (JohnA)] mayor or something?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He is the Suomi priest who holds services here

Hoffman (JohnA)] oh, good

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Apparently people are coming this evening

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I intend to attend, of course.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So we should get up there or we might find the church full of people

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh yes. This should be enlightening

Hoffman (JohnA)] hope we do not frighten them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You will be able to tell what they will be asking for

Hoffman (JohnA)] Hello Pete, How have you been

[Pete (Master)] Hello there

Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]] moved 11'09".

[Pete (Master)] Baron Ulgin, this is Saint Branwyn, Countess of Dragon Fen

[Pete (Master)] and the new ruler

Hoffman (JohnA)] How much time do we have?

[Pete (Master)] and her man at arms Hoffman

[Pete (Master)] How much time for what?

Hoffman (JohnA)] well,

[Lanek (Spring)] somebody lookin for me?

Hoffman (JohnA)] before the others arrive?

Baron Ulgin (Master) looks up from his prayers

Skarphedin (Ryan) mutters. "Still don't understand the whole Saint thing."

Baron Ulgin (Master) warm smile when he sees Branwyn

[Indigo (Lisa)] I was going to tell Hoffman all the stuff you did yesterday but then they came

Lanek (Spring) shrugs

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Branwyn the Blessed

[Indigo (Lisa)] You have to tell him the story!

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's a good story!

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] We are blessed by your presence here

[Lanek (Spring)] (cue the amnesia. what the hell did I do?)

Brer Necholas (TMO) finds a place to sit a little bit away from the discussion.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you Baron. It is nice to make your acquaintance

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (not you Lanek! The Saint!)

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald moved 20'10".

Emerald (Lara) sits next to Brer

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hoffman will be taking over renovations and control of the operations here so you may direct questions and plans to him

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Pete tells me that you are taking over the financing of repairs here

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Very well

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] As you wish

Baron Ulgin (Master) looks at Hoffman

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Dragon Fen will be, yes

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Hoffman is it?

Brer Necholas (TMO) leans one elbow on the back of a pew and reaches up under his hood with his left hand.

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Have you accepted our goddesses blessings?

[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] Brer Necholas moved 28'07".

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (just checkin'!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Spring - Lanek got his muscle on and was busting up the place :) )

[Master] Branwyn moved 14'05".

Hoffman (JohnA)] My name is Hoffman, yes, but we are not here to talk about me today

[Master] Baron Ulgin moved 63'11".

[Master] Baron Ulgin moved 127'01".

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (just a bit too far away for you Brer)

Hoffman (JohnA)] Would you like to speak in private, I understand there is a service soon?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmph.

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] This is holy ground, where better to speak of holy things?

[Lanek (Spring)] (Lisa - I vaguely remember something about that lol)

Hoffman (JohnA)] I have no intention of speaking of holly things, certainly not my area, only on how we can come to an agreement.

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] What sort of agreement do we need? Branwyn the Blessed as given you us to guide her church

Hoffman (JohnA)] While there will be some restrictions, the church belongs to you and your flock, I only intend to make sure it remains peaceful

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Kiputytto is not a war goddess

Hoffman (JohnA)] Even the most peaceful religions have engaged in war, but I will want to hear about your gods, just not first thing

Hoffman (JohnA)] when is your next service?

Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]] moved 17'08".

Hoffman (JohnA)] (they are still standing there?)

[Michael-14198] Reinforcements Have Arrived.

Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]] moved 23'04".

[Lanek (Spring)] h(hi Michael!)

[Michael-14198] Hi All. I'm not dead. Sorry

[Carissa] (hi Michael)

[Michael-14198] Been beyond mental fortitude

[Lanek (Spring)] (you're sorry to be alive?!?!)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (we are glad you are not dead, no need to be sorry you are not)

[Lanek (Spring)] (I知 not!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (We like you alive)

[Michael-14198] Lol. Came out wrong

[Indigo (Lisa)] :)

[Michael-14198] No idea where I am. No idea what I must do. All I know is I must Kill

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UaJAnnipkY

[Indigo (Lisa)] (not that kind of evening - but we'll see)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hoffman is talking to the priest)

[Michael-14198] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6ljFaKRTrI

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we are watching)

Hoffman (JohnA)] good, so we have time, come sit down

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Glad to see you, Michael

Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]] moved 18'10".

[Michael-14198] I am back at the keyboard.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Thank you.)

[Master] Pete moved 20'06".

[Master] Pete targets [Hoffman]]. Distance: 6'00"

[Master] Pete moved 9'06".

[Master] Pete no longer targets [Hoffman]].

[Master] Baron Ulgin moved 2'06".

Hoffman (JohnA)] [Hoffman]] moved 13'05".

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] If I may be so bold Branwyn the Blessed

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] do you also believe that this girl is a saint?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes?

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] have you seen her miracles?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She has no miracles and she is no saint as far as I know

[Pete (Master)] So we have so much to talk about

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It was deceptive of Witherbane to say so

[Pete (Master)] the new windows should be large and bring in the light

[Pete (Master)] like the old ones did

[Pete (Master)] and we need to hire a sculptor who can create a worthy centerpiece of a statue in the sacristy

Baron Ulgin (Master) nods thinking

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (brer is going to try again if they get within range)

[Master] Baron Ulgin moved 15'01".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 62'11".

Hoffman (JohnA)] Nothing happens overnight

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (he will have to move down a pew or three)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Most of our services are at night

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (that's not very surreptitious in plate armor)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] practically because of the griffon

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] I was glad to avoid its gaze this evening

Hoffman (JohnA)] well, there is no more griffon, per se

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] OH?

[Pete (Master)] What happened?

[Pete (Master)] Did someone forget the color code?

[Pete (Master)] I hope they did not get hurt too badly

Hoffman (JohnA)] Branwyn took care of it, that is a story for another time

Pete (Master) looking at Branwyn

Hoffman (JohnA)] Barron, how important is the pool on the steps to your religion?

[Pete (Master)] Does that mean I should or should not bring the horse tomorrow?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That means I would very much like to borrow a horse tomorrow and it will be safe

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] The pool is a suitable way of asking for the Lady's blessing

[Hoffman]] (JohnA) looks at Branwyn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (will let your respond to the pool unless you want me to)

Hoffman (JohnA)] Well, Barron, it will hamper efforts to fix the church, but as I said, that will be your call. Just don't expect us to deal with the effects

Hoffman (JohnA)] What about the moat, is that equally important, religiously?

[Pete (Master)] I have been able to handle the traversing of the pit

[Pete (Master)] The moat is not part of the church, that should never have been added

[Pete (Master)] it is not fitting with the style and with the overall layout of the grounds

Hoffman (JohnA)] but the pit is, ok

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] I am not interested in the moat, I do not like that in the haste to build it that several graves of the faithful were destroyed

Hoffman (JohnA)] would you say the LOCATION of the moat is the border of the church proper?

Hoffman (JohnA)] or do you consider the whole hill side?

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] The moat has nothing to do with the church

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] if you are asking what I consider to be holy ground, the hill side and surrounding areas are church land,

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (is Baron a political title or religious?)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] the sacred tough of the Lady is felt in the walls of the church

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (religious)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (TMO asking the important questions. Thank you lol)

Hoffman (JohnA)] So would you object to me taking the house and barn?

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] not at all, there has almost always been a caretaker for the grounds

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is not for him to object Hoffman

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] If you will be Branwyn the Blessed's man of honor here, then of course it is yours to do what you wish with

Hoffman (JohnA)] That is like saying if we want to paint the church, he cannot object. There will have to be some agreement

Branwyn (Lisa) bites her tongue

[Pete (Master)] So you will not be staying here in the church? Then I can redo the room for Baron Ulgin

[Pete (Master)] and he can stay here at all times

Hoffman (JohnA)] That is the place for a priest, and I am no priest

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (priest hierarchy: King/Queen - the senior priest of all of the faith Prince/Princess - fifth level spells and higher Duke - fourth level spells Baron - third level spells Earl - second level spells Squire - first level spells)

[Pete (Master)] I am unsure what you want to do with the moat ... Hoffman? Sir Hoffman?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (just to show you where he's at)

Hoffman (JohnA)] Hoffman is fine, We will take care of the moat, not the highest priority but certainly will be taken care off

[Pete (Master)] I would say it is a priority if you ask me

Hoffman (JohnA)] but we do need to discuss a bit on what you are your people will provide

[Pete (Master)] those horrid creatures

Hoffman (JohnA)] More so than say the goblins?

[Pete (Master)] The goblins mostly are only out at night

[Pete (Master)] and are scared off with a strong show of force

Hoffman (JohnA)] which is when your service is

[Pete (Master)] Only because of the griffon and you said it was gone

Hoffman (JohnA)] and when your people are leaving, no?

Pete (Master) looks at Baron Ulgin

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] It would be preferable to have services during the days

Hoffman (JohnA)] Good, better for all

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] and I do agree that the goblins are not needed

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] they are a nuisance at best

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] and at worst pests that needs to be destroyed

Hoffman (JohnA)] getting rid of them will be fair more than a nuisance

[JohnA] but I must go

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] I trust that Branwyn the Blessed chose you for us out of great wisdom knowing you can handle the problems we have

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Bye!)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] I look forward to seeing you in our services

Hoffman (JohnA)] I think we have a good start to our understanding, you can start services tomorrow and discuss further details after we see how the week goes, sound good?

[Pete (Master)] I will have plans for you

[Pete (Master)] and we can look at hiring

[Pete (Master)] with more workers the repairs can go much faster

[Master] are you leaving for the night John? See you tomorrow?

[Master] are you playing from home or coming here?

[JohnA] most likely

[JohnA] here if at all

[JohnA] have fun all

[Lanek (Spring)] (gnite john!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Good night John)

JohnA has left the game on Fri Sep 11 22:08:16 EDT 2020

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (cya John)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Looks atht he group

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] So you are Branwyn the Blessed companions

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] How fare you?

[Master] Baron Ulgin moved 11'04".

[Master] Baron Ulgin moved 27'09".

[Master] Baron Ulgin starts to move to the front of the sacristy , Branwyn can move with him, Pete stays in the back to chatter away with Hoffman about ideas

[Master] Branwyn moved 14'06".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 58'08".

[Master] Baron Ulgin moved 43'04".

Brer Necholas (TMO) stands up and moves to the aisle. "Baron Ulgin, I'm Necholas. I'm looking forward to your service."

Baron Ulgin (Master) nods

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] It will be good to have members of the Brotherhood here

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (how does everybody know????)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] I take it you were here for Lord Witherbane

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (Sundown is standing right there, you are also in plate mail, very paladin like)

[Carissa] (and that paladin aroma is strong)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] He was not a pleasant person

[Lanek (Spring)] (hahaha)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (sigh - so nice being part of a secret order that everyone can tell on sight. ;) )

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (Lol)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (not secret at all)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I was only indirectly after him. But I agree with your opinion of him.

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (rare a slightly reclusive but decently known)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] and who are your other companions?

Baron Ulgin (Master) looking over the group

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] How did you come to be worthy of serving Branwyn the Blessed

Skarphedin (Ryan) gives a bland look back, but remains silent.

Baron Ulgin (Master) calmly looking over the group

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They do not serve Baron

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We are friends and compatriots

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] You will all be joining us for services this evening

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes. We did want to tell you about a little incident

Baron Ulgin (Master) nods

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Please do

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Witherbane in his haste to kill us tried to summon Tiera

Baron Ulgin (Master) scowls

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We interrupted him

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But the sarcophagus is slightly open

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (may need to discuss the Order offline with you sometime Bob, just so I can get a clearer picture and reconcile my expectations with yours. :) Obviously consider it a bit more secretive than you do. )

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] I would be honored to assist you in restoring him to his rightful rest

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (no big deal, it's just disconcerting to behave one way and have it turn out another.)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (it is also how Brer chooses to act versus how the Brotherhood overall is seen)

[Lanek (Spring)] (you may have to invent another order to be a secret member of so that this one is a cover heh. like hydra within shield)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Sorry, but I am going to have to call it a night for now.)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (that previous was to Branwyn)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Goodnight Ryan!)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (night Ryan, hope to see you as you can tomorrow)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Night all. I should be able to join at least for a bit tomorrow.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes was waiting)

Ryan has left the game on Fri Sep 11 22:20:30 EDT 2020

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be appreciated. We did not know the proper rituals and thought it would be best to have you take care of the situation properly

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods once in agreement.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You must understand two things. Lord Witherbane is dead.

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] There are no correct ways to restore peace that has been desecrated

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And all evil has been purged

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No more undead. No more death traps

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Evil will not be tolerated here any longer

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] That is good, I have not gone down to see the crypts

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is safe now

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Lord Witherbane is the person who brought the undead

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The glass case is still trapped but we will work on that

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am aware

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] You are blessed by our Lady

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] You are aware that her blessing are not evil

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Removing evil from this church is why we came

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope this will only strengthen our bonds

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And you will work with Hoffman in good faith

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] If he has been chosen by you then he shall be your voice

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I'm good with him as we are without John at the moment) [Master] I agree

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (just wanted to bring up Tiera and re-inforce the no evil here rule :) )

[Master] Michael, do you think you will be here at Noon? 9 am too early for you?

[Master] TMO? I hope you can be?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I'll do my best

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I'm a bit drained, but I really want to be here since I've been missing

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I plan on being on as much as possible - hopefully whole time, but can't guarantee it. Will try, but may need to run some errands during.)

[Master] of course

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (hope you can make it Michael)

[Master] I have four balls of pizza dough in the fridge at some point I will have to make one or two, grins

[Master] it will be a fun day

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] You plan on sharing with the class?

[Master] anyone who is here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (is Mario coming?)

[Master] tonight, tomorrow and Sunday Dolphin's game

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Well then. Let me just get on the ole delta flight and get Coronavirus so I can get some bob Pizza :)

[Master] at this point I am not sure

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL Michael)

[Carissa] Ot

[Carissa] *It'll add some flavor

[Master] hah

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] It'll add something

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we're doing different story?)

[Master] it remains to be seen, grins

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I have sneaky feeling we won't be removing the moat tomorrow)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I miss Mario痴' potatoes...

[Master] it depends on what happens

[Master] who is here, etc.

[TMO] unfortunately I won't be working from home anymore. starting Monday back in the office every day

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (are you ending tonight tonight?)

[Carissa] Seriously TMO??

[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.BG20-Music

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Please use protection TMo

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you get to go to work???)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] oh that sounded wrong

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (jealous)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] sorry

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Safety precautions

[TMO] yes, I'm being transferred to a different department, and they're already in the office full time

[Lanek (Spring)] but noon right?

[Master] yes for Spring

[Lanek (Spring)] ugh TMO that's awful

[TMO] There are precautions still in place, I was alternating weeks from home and weeks in the office already.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I mean, better than being unemployed I guess. Just be safe. All you can do.)

[Carissa] Texas is stupid.

[Master] hope you can wear a mask while there

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Uh, so I Arizona

[TMO] but I'm probably going to add taking a shower as soon as I get home to my list.

[TMO] yes, masks are required if I'm not in my office

[Carissa] Arizona fell off our quarantine list, surprisingly. Although you might be back on...

[Master] even in the office

[Master] unless you have your own AC unit

[TMO] TTU had almost 500 cases in the first 2 weeks back

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] You know TMO, when I haul the medical waste, a good practice is too use some defogging Antiseptic as soon as you get in your car.

[Lanek (Spring)] oh dear

[Carissa] Shower. Take off your shoes before you enter. Don't touch front of your mask.

[Master] I wear mine from when I get in the garage at work until I get back into the car, only take it off to eat and drink. when I get home I pull off the mask and drop it on top of the washer

[TMO] I'm not around students themselves fortunately. and they don't come in the office anymore either

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] AH! That's good

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Better

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] We just love you too much to get sick :)

[TMO] but the actual advisors in the office do meet them, with protections. So I'm a level removed from the threat.

[Master] if it the same building then essentially the same risk

[TMO] :) Thanks. I'm not too worried about myself, but my wife is somewhat immune-compromised

[Master] yes

[Master] same

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I do hate the amount of people who think this is a joke. I

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Facebook is toxic for stuff like that

[Carissa] Take your Vitamin D if you aren't. Might be worthwhile, definitely doesn't hurt if you haven't

[TMO] the students meet the advisors at the basketball arena. But the advisors do come to the office sometimes too.

[Master] yes Michael I did not mean for you to get back on FB

[Master] as long as we know you are safe

[TMO] about the only place I'm on is Imgur, and it's almost as toxic in the other direction

[Carissa] Pretty much the story for any social media of any type

[TMO] trying to work up some good filters to try and make it more pleasant

[Master] I take a vit D supplement every morning, my Dr was very happy with the results last blood work check

[Carissa] Good. It's not an instant fix to raise your levels. You need to be on it consistently for a while.

[TMO] I'll look for some Vit D. Is it tested & proven, or anecdotal?

[Master] yeah has been almost a full 6 months

[Master] no definitive proof but it seems that those with higher Vit D levels suffer fewer effects, particularly the muscular ones

[Carissa] More like not fully peer-reviewed. But there's no doubt that positive cases are low on Vitamin D levels. Whether or not that's because of the virus or what makes you have a bad cases is up in the air

[Lisa] it is a good thing in general for overall health and most people who are stuck inside all the time are low

[Carissa] Even as someone who used to work outside far more in Texas, my levels were low. It's just good all-around to take a supplement.

[TMO] I've got some Centrum Silver I haven't been taking regularly enough

[Carissa] Well, now痴 a good time to do so :)

[Carissa] Again, can't hurt

[Spring] well all right then

[Master] also discussion on The Brotherhood

[Master] it is a Paladin Order

[Master] established by a Queen in the past

[Master] never more than 6 pairs of brothers at a time, mostly only 2 or 3

[TMO] yeah, no real objections on that part. I just always pictured Brer as keeping silent about it most of the time. Easier to get close to the vampires if they don't know he's coming from 3 miles away.

[Master] so yes to lesser known

[Lisa] lol

[Master] and yes to not advertising you are coming, grins

[TMO] so he doesn't wear the signs openly (although he does have some he can put on if needed).

[Master] nods,

[Master] Sundown on the other hand

[Lisa] hard to be silent clanking around all over the place

[Master] and Brothers always travel in pairs

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Well everyone. I know I was only in for a short amount of time, but If I知 going to be here bright eyes and bushy tail, I better head in for the night

[TMO] yes, but armored warriors aren't unknown

[Master] when one dies the other almost always dies with them

[Master] go Michael

[Lisa] Good night Michael!

[TMO] g'nite Michael

[Master] see you in the morning

[Spring] gnite Michael

Michael-14198 has left the game on Fri Sep 11 22:42:45 EDT 2020

[TMO] so let me guess, Sundown the junior partner wears the symbols all over himself?

[TMO] :)

[Lisa] lol

[Master] well he stands out.... he does Judge

[Master] so is very paladin like

[Master] but he has no armor anymore

[Master] that was all destroyed

[TMO] yep. question: are all paladins part of the Order?

[Master] no

[Master] most paladins are not part of any order

[Master] they are just holy warriors

[TMO] yeah, that was my thought.

[Master] fighting for justice and the Drillian way

[Spring] is the stick inserted during training or is there some ceremony?

[TMO] I'm not putting a big D on my shirt

[Master] grins at Spring

[Master] it depends on how you are called

[Carissa] lol Spring

[Master] MOST Paladins are not adventurer types, they defend a particular place not roam around

[Master] the Brotherhood is sworn to defeat the Undead

[Lisa] Brer and Sundown had very different callings

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

[TMO] I expect him to be identified as a fighter - the armor obviously gives that away. Paladin, to the observant or very sensitive. But everyone instantly says, Hey, it's the Order! Hi there!

[Master] so far it has only been priests who recognize your aroma

[Master] grins

[TMO] and Emerald. :)

[Carissa] You didn't notice? We're all wearing shirts that say, "I'm with The Order"

[Carissa] They point to you

[TMO] well, how did I miss that?

[Carissa] Eyepatch

[Master] she only knows because we told Lara what you were to explain how you are playing that particular class

[TMO] point

[Master] LOL

[Master] Well we should all get some rest

[Master] for the marathon tomorrow

[TMO] righty-ho

[TMO] zzzzzzzzzz

[Master] thank you all for coming, see you tomorrow

[Carissa] By we you mean those poor people on the West Coast, especially ;)

[Carissa] I can sleep in :)

[Master] it will be fun

[Master] chuckles

[TMO] what time is it starting again? noon eastern?

[Master] yes

[TMO] kk

[TMO] so 11 my time

[Carissa] Unless you want pizza. I'd get an earlier flight.

[Spring] gnite!!!

[Master] We are under a tropical storm warning

[TMO] Florida is not first on my flight itinerary, thanks

[Master] will be passing over starting.... now

Spring has left the game on Fri Sep 11 22:50:32 EDT 2020

[Carissa] Ahh I haven't paid attention to storms this week

[Master] as the wind and rain pick up

[Master] 6 of them out there now

[Master] three are far off

[Master] this one will pass over then go into the Gulf and form and strengthen

[Lisa] Goodnight! See you tomorrow

Lisa has left the game on Fri Sep 11 22:51:50 EDT 2020

[TMO] aright. ciao y'all

[TMO] thanks for the game

Carissa has left the game on Fri Sep 11 22:53:01 EDT 2020

TMO has left the game on Fri Sep 11 22:53:01 EDT 2020
