Michael-14198 has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Michael-14198] Sorry early today. It's to remind me that we are playing and I don't fall asleep. I'll be onboard at 4 :)

[Michael-14198] Sorry. 7 EST

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Nice

[Michael-14198] Before I forget, wanted to thank you for your Facebook post on the Seflin conference. Loved the talk on video games. Also using that as continuing education requirements....so if you could just keep posting as many of those as you can... :)

[Michael-14198] Forgot to thank you last fri

[Master] glad

[Master] tonight you need your math skills

[Michael-14198] Took a look at her research too. She's got a lot of hands in a lot of pies :)

[Michael-14198] OH NO

[Michael-14198] Please god

[Master] yes she does

[Michael-14198] Not math

[Michael-14198] Do I need to grab a calc/excel sheet?

[Michael-14198] Seriously?

[Master] no

[Michael-14198] I better do that now if yes

[Michael-14198] ok

[Master] just first thing up is the moat

[Michael-14198] Oh boy

[Master] so you will have to help with the organizing of math to make sure of things

[Master] then make your engineering rolls

[Michael-14198]

[Master] you saw all the XP is updated

[Michael-14198] I did see it, but I'm not sure I really understood it to be honest

[Michael-14198] I've never been particularly good at understanding XP to begin with

[Master] your XP totals are correct to this point

[Master] everyone who gets a 10% bonus that has been applied too

[Michael-14198] OK. But it primarily was accurate except for when additional totals were granted

[Master] in addition to the story arc bonus

[Michael-14198] Oh

[Michael-14198] OK

[Master] AND then the high level people Branwyn, Ilero and Kenna got extra XP for their followers

[Master] or running the church, the Estate, etc.

[Michael-14198] Hm. I did see that. Interesting

[Master] no one will get any large amounts of XP in the near future so training can be planned

[Master] BUT there will be lots of roleplaying and plotting for the future of the Protectorate

[Michael-14198] Right. I wanted to update the training page, but wanted to ask first. Talwin still has the two handed prof he wants trained. If he cannot do that soon, I may have to assign it elsewhere. Do you mind if I add that to the webpage?

[Master] go for it

[Michael-14198] Also Protectorate? You turning Dragon's Fen into a Roman Territory??? :)

[Master] chuckles

[Michael-14198] This could get interesting....

[Master] non contiguous territory controlled and supported

[Michael-14198] May have to watch out for Volcanos...

[Master] protectorate is a simpler term

[Michael-14198] AH.

[Michael-14198] Gotcha

[Michael-14198] I like it though. Sounds Cool hehe

[Michael-14198] But if we find a Pompeii...

[Michael-14198] Protectorate... Kind of Like the Old Port Royal? Or the French Polynesia?

[Master] not Pompeii

[Master] Something else

[Michael-14198] Oof. not the lesser known Herculaneum....

[Michael-14198] :)

[Master] chuckles

[Michael-14198] Hi Lara!

[Master] we need to cleanse our systems of Skull Church with some light short easy stories

[Master] then we will do a deeper harder one

[Lara] hu

[Master] and hello Lara

[Michael-14198] Nah, wait until 2021. I'm calling the crappy stuff for 2020 :)

[Michael-14198] lol

[Lara] hi

[Master] How do you feel Lara?

[Lara] eh. things are crazy.

[Lara] was I supposed to do the summary this week? Friday snuck up on me/.

[Michael-14198] Nah, I did the summary for everyone this week. Kind of.

[Michael-14198] Oh

[Michael-14198] Unless it was Wed

[Michael-14198] Then I didn't do that one

[Master] no game Wednesday

[Lara] thank you Michael!

[Master] so Lara do you like the number 52?

[Lara] yes

[Michael-14198] lol

[Lara] number of cards in a playing deck

[Lara] why?

[Master] Good because you are the 52nd Dragonslayer

[Master] starting tonight

[Lara] whoo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lara] I’m SOOOOOOO honored!!!!

[Michael-14198] :)

[Lara] wow! I’m going to tell everyone

[Michael-14198] I thought you were a dragonslayer for weeks to be honest... :) Just official huh :)

[Lara] they think it’s funny that a 49 year old woman starts playing DnD all of a sudden

[Lara] thanks Michael!

[Lara] that's really kewl

[Lara] thanks BOB

[Master] I will update the site later

[Michael-14198] Yeah well, ask bob how old he is. Hell, I didn't even know TMO had grandkids. Thought he was like 40 tops

[Michael-14198] Boy was I surprised

[Lara] ah. you must be a yungin

[Michael-14198] I'm 28

[Michael-14198] :)

[Master] He was not even born the last time the Dolphins won the Super Bowl

[Lara] ROFLMAO

[Michael-14198] When I first logged in, I thought bob was a tech savvy 30ish guy. Then I slowly realized that he was a tech savvy dashing silver fox guy...

[Lara] oh my. what was I doing at 28? hm...

[Master] chuckles at Michael

[Lara] I remember but I can't put it in writing

[Michael-14198] LOL

[Master] but the two of you can start

[Master] you have to work out the details of the Moat

[Michael-14198] OK. So, Moat first

[Michael-14198] right

[Michael-14198] Let's do OOC first Lara ok?

[Master] draining, killing the puddings, etc.

[Lara] testing color

[Master] then you can tell Lisa we need X amount of fireballs etc.

[Michael-14198] (Maybe a smidge brighter?)

[Master] how much oil etc.

[Lara] okay. let's start.

[Michael-14198] (OK)

[Master] how to drain, refill etc.

[Michael-14198] So. We have a few things for the Moat.

[Michael-14198] Or I do, but thought we would have more people

[Michael-14198] So uh

[Lara] 88,000 sumthin'g

[Master] Go for it I will shut up

[Master] you will have the people but better to start now

[Master] and get the hard parts out of the way

[Michael-14198] We'll just have to IMPROV for now :)

[Master] and just tell them This is what we need you to do

[Lara] backup---did we convince the Goblins?

[Lara] I didn't read this week's summary yet

[Michael-14198] We are pretending for now

[Master] have not talked to the goblins at all yet

[Lara] okay

[Michael-14198] That yes

[Michael-14198] Pretending

[Michael-14198] There area couple backup options

[Michael-14198] Involving forced labor, but you know...we'll get there

[Michael-14198] From what I wrote up, and think, the moat has been rather hastily constructed

[Michael-14198] which means, that all the dirt and fill has been left to the side or close by

[Lara] okay. so what maths do we need to calculate?

[Michael-14198] Either magically, or with Goblin, or other means we are slowly filling in the moat

[Michael-14198] The goal

[Lara] okay

[Michael-14198] (sorry, trying to quickly type and think()

[Michael-14198] )

[Michael-14198] :)

[Lara] no worries

[Michael-14198] Is to slowly force the slimes up, but not to close to the surface area so that we can reduce the area of effect needed for oil

[Lara] yes

[Michael-14198] because we need to get a source for oil and cannot literally fill the moat

[Michael-14198] Another thing, is that we really need to do our best to get them tot he top as much as possible because oil floats, and if they are hiding underneath there cooking buddies, well that's not going to work

[Lara] okay. do we know if the slimes/puddings can jump out of the most

[Michael-14198] So. Step by step

[Lara] moat?

[Michael-14198] No. We'll have to play it safer :)

TMO has joined the game on Fri Oct 02 19:14:16 EDT 2020

TMO has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Michael-14198] So

[Michael-14198] Hi8 TMO

[Michael-14198] 1. Goblin

[TMO] no hating TMO

[Michael-14198] 2. Dirt

[Michael-14198] 3. Oil

[Lara] I’m just thinking that if we spend all this time filling in the moat and they end up jumping out and sliming away, then it would have been somewhat of a waste of time

[Michael-14198] :)

[Lara] hi TMO!

[TMO] <3 the TMO

[TMO] hi

[Michael-14198] hehe

[Michael-14198] 4. Observe and Report

[Michael-14198] 5. Either continue filling in, or cease filling in

[Master] and TMO did you think that Ilero would gain levels after retiring him? grins

[Michael-14198] 6. Oil the top of the moat until you can see the slight sheen around the moat

[TMO] nope. I logged in this week to work on his advancement, but he's not visible anymore

[Lara] that is a LOT of oil

[Michael-14198] 7. Light the moat on fire until the oil burns off

[Michael-14198] Right

[Michael-14198] But

[Michael-14198] !

[Master] I can make him so for you TMO

[Lara] I have a safety issue and question

[Michael-14198] It will be far far less, by filling in the moat as we go

[Michael-14198] Go ahead

[TMO] I wasn't sure if it was still my purview to level him

[Master] sure

[Lara] are we going to burn sections of the moat with the pil and fireball at a time?

[Michael-14198] Yes

[Lara] okay

[Michael-14198] Imagine

[Master] and he is now visible for you TMO

[Michael-14198] That we are splitting the moat into Tenths

[TMO] tx!

[Michael-14198] Separating each one with a dirt barrier

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Oct 02 19:17:04 EDT 2020

Lisa has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Lara] WOW! that's awesome. well done.

[Michael-14198] This way, we can test the first couple "Mini" pits

[Michael-14198] to get the right ratio

[Lara] very smart

[Michael-14198] Sorry. Hadn't gotten there yet

[Michael-14198] Let's call that. step 8? :)

[Michael-14198] We'll name it in honor of you haha! :)

[Lara] okay.

[Master] So I will offer the idea of doing that in the front of the church first to make it easiest for people to enter and leave

[Lara] step 8 is made a list of all the people we've harmed and prepare to make amends.

[Master] and then move around the sides towards the back

[Michael-14198] LOL

[Lara] just kidding, no one here probably knows what I mean

[Master] yes we do Lara

[Master] grins

[Michael-14198] Right bob.

[Michael-14198] :)

[Michael-14198] You guys are chuckleheads

[Master] and hello Lisa

[Michael-14198] anyways

[Michael-14198] Also Hello Lisa!

[Lara] hi Lisa!

[Lisa] Hello

[Michael-14198] Sorry, bob wants us to get this show on the road lol

[Michael-14198] We'll wait for you guys to catch up

[Michael-14198] But yes Lara. Not really sure how to obtain such a large amount of oils.

[Lisa] catch up to what?

[Michael-14198] That was something I hadn’t been able to establish

[Michael-14198] Oh sorry Lisa. I just was typing out our general steps and idea for the moat

[Michael-14198] Bob said we gotta get that done first

[Michael-14198] Any idea on where we can get a large quantity of oil for the plan?

[Michael-14198] Or a way around it?

[Michael-14198] Also Bob. I do agree. The front "tenths" of the church would definitely be a good place to start

[Lara] I thought we were going to assign that to Pete?

[Michael-14198] (We are Pete haha)

[Lara] LOL. why am I thinking that he had a wagon...?

[Lara] no?

[Master] Pete is a competent NPC, you can trust him to do what you need as you need IF you give him good instructions and support

[Michael-14198] (We do with Iron in it :) )

[Michael-14198] OH MY GOSH LARA!

[Michael-14198] Genius!

[Michael-14198] Sorry I'm excitable tonight

[Master] Like Jilly and Nevin are for Branwyn

[Michael-14198] We'll just give Pete instructions to get oil hehe. Save us some time

[Master] they will not betray her or do something totally horrible

[Lara] NEVER apologize for being excited

[Michael-14198] If only I could type properly too

[Michael-14198] Anyways.

[Michael-14198] Hm

[Lara] Exuberance is awesome

[Master] You will have to make sure to establish that with Pete

[Michael-14198] OK

[Michael-14198] Revised Steps

[Michael-14198] These will be the final revised steps before I give them to Lisa and TMO for opinion. Just so we can get these out. Is that OK Lisa/TMO?

[Master] make sure he knows Branwyn has given Snee the control of this area, listen to her etc.

[Michael-14198] (Yes.)

[Master] block it out and run with it Michael and Lara

[TMO] yep

[Lara] did Branwyn give the title to Snee?

[Lara] last week?

[Master] not yet, she will when Spring is in and we can do the In Character

[Master] She did knight Talwin

[Michael-14198] OK. So General First Steps:

[Lara] ...

Carissa has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Lisa] we don't need to fill the moat with oil - when you want to get a BBQ going all you need is to give it a good douse and the fire sticks by itself

[Michael-14198] 1. The Goblins or Labor Parties Must be established to fill the Moat into "Tenths" This will allow for the minimization of risk in regard to Slimy Hazards

[Lisa] Hi Carissa

[Michael-14198] 2. Hi Carissa

[Carissa] Hello

[Lara] hi Carissa!

[Michael-14198] 2.1.0 After Labor is established and the Moat is in tenths, we can begin with the areas next to the entrance and work around. Using Oil and Estimates for Bran to fireball them

[Michael-14198] 3. For Oil, we need to give Pete direct and detailed instructions for Oil Procurement

[Michael-14198] 4. As each "Tenth" of the Moat is killed of slimes and is in turn filled, we move to the next. Repeating until all "Tenths" are filled

[Michael-14198] 5. As the project ends, using AGILE, we decide what to do about the Goblins.

[Michael-14198] That' the rough sketch I got for the moat

[Michael-14198] And I agree with Lisa [Michael-14198] We don't really need to fill the moat. The oil will float and we can always add more if needed

[Michael-14198] It's a slow extermination campaign, not a full on Slime Marshmallow Roast

[TMO] sounds perfect

[Master] It is the best plan yet

[Michael-14198] So we need primarily two things. One of which is more complicated

[Lisa] yay!!!!

[Michael-14198] The First, is for someone to deal with Goblins. The second is the Oil procurement for Pete. We can do all others in character

[Michael-14198] or as Characters

[Michael-14198] So

[Michael-14198] Since the Moat was designated as first

[Michael-14198] Should we take care of that in character real quick? Hopefully?

[Master] See Michael, I told you, Lisa wants you to handle all these things, you, Lara, Spring, Ryan are going to handle the stuff here in the Protectorate

[Michael-14198] And who has the humanoid control wand just in case.

[Michael-14198] LOL

[Master] first is Pete

[Master] then the Goblins

[Lara] the Party Pack? I think that is where the wand is

[Michael-14198] Do I get XP for that :)

[Michael-14198] Teehee

[Michael-14198] Talwin can quickly do an In Character with Pete and discuss the Governess position that Snee obtained

[Lisa] since we haven't left yet the party pack is just here and you can say you picked it up

[Michael-14198] You want to do that real quick bob?

[Master] not yet

[Michael-14198] OK

[Lara] wait---Snee needs to be appointed first

[Master] Lisa will explain about the wand and the how and why it is not quite that easy

[Master] magic

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

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Ah)

[Lisa] oh you want the details? :)

[Lara] yeah, it needs some finagling

[Master] I know the details but they should hear them from you, grins

[Lisa] wands need command words and we don't know how many charges are on it

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Sorry. Yes, I probably should know the details haha. Just trying to help :) )

[Lisa] so we do need an identify

[Lara] who would tell Pete what to do? Brer or Talwin?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Talwin is knighted under Branwyn, but Brer is a Supervisor too I believe)

[Lara] I don't think it needs to be Snee

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (So, both?)

[TMO] n

[Master] Branwyn -> Snee -> Snee designates???

[TMO] no

[TMO] Brer will relay anything he needs to Talwin, who can tell Pete

[Lara] questions: where is peter? where is the wagon? and is the wagon full of stuff?

[Lisa (to Carissa only)] How are you feeling? Doing better these days?

[Master] and Lisa, what does an Indentify do? and what does that entail?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (That's fine. Sorry. Just to be safe though, is Brer a supervisor? I may need to change my summary from last week)

[Lara] we need an org chart. LOL.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] NO

[Master] lol

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I play this to escape that crap

[TMO] as I understand it, Brer is in charge of restoring the church and making sure no evil gets a toehold back in it.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] LOL

[Lisa] to cast identify Bran needs 100gp pearl and an owl feather - which she has at her lab at home

[Lara] sidenote: I really think being part of this game helped me with a software rollout these last few weeks.

[TMO] if he needs something repaired, he'll go to the engineer

[Lisa] then she needs to lay out what she's going to work on and concentrate for 8 hours

[Master] very glad for that Lara

[Lisa] then she can cast

[Carissa (to Lisa only)] Always gotta test first

[Lara] ugh on the Controlling Humanoids Wand

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Put on your resume you are a hobbyist project manager)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] ;)

[Lisa (to Carissa only)] 1 2 3 testing

[Carissa (to Lisa only)] Pushed myself when parents were visiting. Apparently still doing some recovery, but getting there

[Lara] well, I am a project manager---but this is making me a BETTER project manager

[Lara] I think it is actually all the writing that has to be done

[Master (to Carissa only)] HUGS

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] :O

[Carissa (to Lisa only)] But a good time for it. I can just sit back and let them plan :)

[Carissa (to Master only)] And a test for you first

[Lara] having to communicate in all writing with no talking---WHEW!

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] So will we need to temporarily wait Lisa?

[Lara] plus we have to envision so much with so little diagrams

[Carissa (to Master only)] lol thank. chronic illness sucks, but you work with what you have. I'll get there :)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (snort)

[Lisa (to Carissa only)] I'm sorry for that. yes a good week to sit back with no pressure

[Lara] the pictures are good---but envision an 88,000 acreage moat? omg.

[Carissa (to Lisa only)] All that end of fiscal year stuff, too. It's been a long week, lol. At least it'll slow down which will definitely help!

[Lara] that sounds like the size of Rhode Island

[Lisa (to Carissa only)] I hope so!

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] It is a lot not going to lie. But, I think we can get through it no big deal

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Sounds like we just need to wait on the wand first, unless someone wants to negotiate with the Goblins

[Lisa] It just means Bran can't help make the wand useful until she goes home

[Carissa (to Lisa only)] And thanks for always checking on me. I really do appreciate it!

[Lara] I’m sorta ready to negotiate with the goblins

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (You sure?)

[Lara] I need Brer

[Lisa] But Emerald speaks goblin and I bet Gobbledygook speak common

[Lara] my NWP includes Goblin and Persuasion

[Lara] we just have to put good juju on the dice

[Carissa] Did we ever figure out how Black Cloak spoke to them? It sounded like he had some communication besides wand.

[Carissa] So wondering if at least one does speak common

[Lisa] and you have spells and cantrip

[Lara] ooooooo---good question

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Ok. Just take backup. Don't get over confident with those rolls there :) )

[Lisa] Pete says they get intimidated by shows of force - we can give them a show

[Lara] "sorta ready" does not exude confidence ROFLMAO

[Lara] ooo---I like it Lisa

[Carissa] (and even if Spring isn't here, I'd include Snee in entourage. She has tongues)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Yes, but a show isn't the same as convincing them into forced labor. They may just run?)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (We'll need an incentive for sure)

[Lara] Worse---they may eat us

[Lisa] they live here where they gonna run?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (After that, you we can decide on official Incentive or Incineration. Either or)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Well, if someone was going to either kill me, or force me into a forced labor camp at my own home...anywhere really)

[Lisa] if you want to make them forced labor what are you offering them in return

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (It's hard for me to think about this because I'm not too sure of what Goblins are like in this world. I kind of get an idea, but I'm not too comfortable making assumptions here. Maybe they are dumb?)

[Lisa] think you should know that before talking

[Carissa] Scruffy wasn't dumb

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I thought we were using the wand to be honest. I also wanted to pay them)

[TMO] not idiots, but more cunning than brainy

[Carissa] Er... not smart, either, but smarter than expected

[Lisa] they are tribal

[TMO] treacherous

[TMO] violent

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (And will eat Humans)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Still though)

[TMO] oh yes

[Carissa] Tribal is probably the key here. You hurt one, you hurt all. You help one? You might help all.

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

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I think either a deal with the mine, or payment of some sort, I just don't know. I've never been of the Imperialistic views of Great Britain, where I come in, wave my dick around, and am king Tiger with my forced labor and my tobacco :)

[Master] laughs

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I think if Lara can negotiate one way or another, that's awesome! I just don't have the answers for this question. I only focused on the Bridge problem during the week)

[Lara] LOL @ Michael

[Lara] okay. well, one way or another we have to start filling the moat, correct?

[Lara] have we ever dealt with goblins in the past?

[Lara] I need more information

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] hm

[Lara] about our past encounters

[Lara] I can read the wiki---but do we know WHO is the leader there?

[Lisa] we usually kill them but haven't dealt with them in these numbers

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Carissa, I know you want a laid back night tonight, but do you remember a few quick sentences about scruffy?

[Carissa] Yes. But the summaries weren't really detailed back then.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I won't bother you for the rest of the night promise :)

[Lisa] we met some goblins who had a village that was being terrorized by a bugbear village

[Lara] I’m listening Lisa

[Lisa] big bugbears controlled little goblins

[Carissa] Scruffy we made a deal with because the bugbears took his goblin friends/family. He helped up get in, but didn't help us once inside.

[Lisa] yes to Carissa's point

[Lara] ah. that means that we know that if we have something the Goblins want---they will help

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (That actually sums it up perfectly. Self-Serving and wont do anything unless they see something in it for them. And if they think they can stab you in the back, they'll do it)

[Lara] what kind of leverage do we have?

Ryan has joined the game on Fri Oct 02 19:48:03 EDT 2020

Ryan has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Carissa] Parky Pack Goblin Horn thingy

[Lara] for example, how can we hurt them without the Wand?

[Carissa] Lisa has mentioned it in that past

[Lara] what's that Carissa?

[Ryan] Hello, everyone

[Carissa] Dunno. I wasn't here when it was found.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (So maybe half payment up front, and then payment upon completion. And then, if you don't want to pay them, you kill them and take your money back)

[Lara] they live underground---can we flood tunnels? seal them in?

[Carissa] And you don't have to aim to hurt them. You can just aim for a mutual understanding. They have yet to hurt us.

[Lara] hi Ryan!

[Lara] I don't want to hurt them.

[Lara] but I want them to THINK that I will

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (We need them. Threatening them might not work. They might just fight us which wouldn't be good)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Hi Ryan!)

[Lara] Getting to Yes---great book

[Lisa] the more I think about that horn the more I think maybe want to save that for the King ... or use it if they think it will help them take down the King

[Lisa] Hi Ryan!

[Carissa] Well, some of this you won't know until you talk to them. Maybe once you DO talk to them they'll tell you what they want and you can work with that.

[Lara] we have to have a BATNA---Best Alternative To A Negotiated Agreement

[Lara] I have to have leverage first

[Lara] negotiations always start the minute the conversation starts (or the first time you look at each other)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] They like previous metals

[Lara] I happen to teach negotiation in real life

[Lara] ooooooo---that's good to know

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Just say we'll give them half now and more after. Bonus if they do a good job and don't do sneak stuff

[Lisa] webpage says they don't like light - we just made 3 continual light stones

[Lara] what sort of precious resources can we get in the day time that they wouldn't want to get for themselves?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Then either pay them, and continue negotiations for other tasks, or kill them

[Lara] excellent

[Lara] we can Light 'EM UP UP UP

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I'm on FIRE

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] sorry

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Anyways

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] We have a ton of money between us, just in the party pack

[Lara] money or gold?

[Lisa] *cough cough*

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Both

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Yes

[Lisa] to give goblins or build stuff?

[Lara] right---we are probably on a budget

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (We’re only letting them hold it until we push them in the pits)

[Lisa] lol

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Then we'll take it back)

[Lisa] that's not very honorable good knight

[Lara] ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Yeah. I was a mercenary long before I was a Knight. LOL)

[Lisa] but yes we do have funds

[Lara] what do TMO and Ryan have to say about all this?

[Master] and chuckles at Lisa, on the money

[Master] you do need to ask her about that

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (You could say...I'm a goblin...)

[Lisa] most at this point is in gems and items

[Lara] do we have something that looks precious but is abundant?

Spring has joined the game on Fri Oct 02 19:53:46 EDT 2020

Spring is receiving the map Church Ground Floor...

Spring has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Lisa] we spent most of the ready cash on dragon fen

[TMO] remember you have a Paladin here

[Spring] halloo!

[Lisa] Hi Spring!

[TMO] hi!

[Spring] rejoice rejoice, the roof repairs are complete!

[TMO] rejoice!

[Lara] who know the terrain well around here?

[Lisa] Yay!!

[Lara] Yay SPRING!

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I may have my thoughts mixed up, but aren't Goblins evil? And thus the Paladin wouldn't really care?)

[TMO] incorrect

[Ryan] Hello

[Lisa] Long may it rain!

[Carissa] Hi Spring and Ryan

[Master] Hello Ryan and Spring

[Spring] wheee!

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (On the Paladin or Evil part?)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Or Both)

[Lisa] goblins = evil

[TMO] the way I interpret paladin

Talwin (Michael-14198) Bangs head

[Master] yes to TMO

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (OK. So.... Your turns! :) )

[TMO] the other person being evil does not invalidate all of the paladin's oaths

[Master] and AWESOME Spring

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] hi Spring!

[Lara] I’m with TMO on this one

[Spring] OMG what a trial!

[TMO] so, if we make promises, we keep them

[TMO] barring outside unforeseen events

[Lara] just cuz I don't like frogs doesn't mean I’m going to kill 200 of them because they are in the way

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Uh)

[Lisa] Bob what is average income of a farmer or worker?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (What kind of Frogs?)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (OH I KNOW THIS

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Isn't it like 1 gold piece is a years worth?

[Lara] ...

[TMO] honor. truth. and you can prepare for treachery, but that's no excuse for doing bad things first

[Lisa] good philosophy

[Master] 5 to 10 GP a year for each farmer of which 5 to 9 GP is spent on equipment and grain and taxes and getting things ready for the next year

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Not saying your wrong TMO. Just not sure what to do about it haha :) )

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Oh Sorry

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I was way off

[Lisa] thanks Bob

[Lara] ooofff

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Thank god I have an accountant

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] ...

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] :)

[Master] Branwyn expects to collect 1 GP per person in the Estate for the common folk

[TMO] you weren't really wrong, Michael. 1gp *profit* per year

[Lisa] so was just wanting that as an example on scale for if offers of payment get made for manual labor

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Ah

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I do Stonks

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] and 501ks

[Lisa] and if they aren't paying taxes etc.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] lol

[Lara] question---is there something that we can offer the goblins, that is abundant during the daylight

[Lara] that they would like?

[Master] Branwyn can be magnanimous during a drought for example and forbear collecting taxes when they earn 4 GP in a year and spend 6 GP on crops, etc.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] SO! I have put forth the general plan. I shall recede into the audience except to partake of the Role Play experience for a time. Preferably after I get a new Diet Coke. AFK

[Lara] I need to step away for a second too. AFK.

[Lara] I am away from the keyboard.

[Lisa] yes she cancelled some taxes for the zombie attacks etc.

[Master] But Branwyn has expenses too, the Queen expects her share of payments, the keep has upkeep, etc.

[Spring] and now shipments of iron to pay for

[Lisa] yes

[Master] if nothing goes wrong and nothing is improved then it is a wash, we just let it be in the background

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Even the Thieves guilds gotta pony up. Didn’t you know the rent was due!)

[Lisa] so we'll need to get create and use that iron ore to generate some income

[Lisa] creative

[Master] but as things go good bad or increase needs then the group comes up with ways to handle that

[TMO] raid dungeons

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Smelting, Ironworking, Smithing, all Industries that could be useful to trade or generate income.)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Yes to TMO)

[Lisa] anyway - don't want to get off track

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Sorry)

[Master] I have a plan for that TMO for spring of 2021

[Lisa] I meant me Michael

[Lisa] you guys have goblin and moat plans

[Lisa] do you need Branwyn to stay here any longer - can she go home?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (She had to appoint Snee, then can go :) )

[Master] one thing Lisa can do is to make sure the details of the Indentfy are set, how many days, what you can do, how many items you have to do, etc. who can use the wand or misc. so they can add that to their calculations

[Master] Soon as Lara is back we will go into In Character so Branwyn can officially appoint Snee and you can do those interactions with Snee, Brer, and Skarp

TMO pulls on his hood.

[Master] so Michael what do you need laid out to make the front part of the church safe?

[Master] create walls or fill or what?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Just plain Dirt I think

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] for the moat

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Did I understand that correctly?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I'm not sure about walls

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] If we are starting with the "Tenths" that are nearest the entrance, I'm not too sure that other people will fall into the other portions f the contaminated moat

[Master] Lisa do you remember if that potion that make the roadway is permanent? or does it expire?

[Snezana (Spring)] (I was thinking the moat would be filled in with the dirt whence came from it

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I mean, we could put up Yellow coans I guess

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Cones

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (My brain is fried. There will be typos)

[Master] quote

[Lara] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Ryan does Skarp have mining? or other stone stills?

[Master] other than generic Dwarf stuff?

[Lara] HEY!

[Lara] wait!

[Lara] do the goblins know that BC is dead?

[Lara] would they happy if he were?

[Master] not until you tell them

[Master] at this point you do not know

[Lara] hmmmmmmmmm

[Snezana (Spring)] (oh that's an opportunity)

[Lara] it might be---do we assume that he was not friends with them?

[Snezana (Spring)] (hey, goblins, we'll kill BC for you if you agree to fill in the moat)

[Lisa] you do have his scroll talking about the goblins and can guess how they felt about him

[Lisa] lol Spring

[Snezana (Spring)] (no he was exploiting them recklessly)

[Master] They do realize the Griffon that used to terrorize them is not there anymore

[Lara] actually---that is EXACTLY where I was going with this

[Master] grins

[Lara] okay, so we know that for sure the Goblins did NOT like BC?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Yes, we do know that)

[Lara] where is this scroll and what does it say?

[Master] and when Lisa is ready

[Master] we will go INTO character for Branwyn to empower Snee

[Lara] okay

[Master] and Brer, and Skarp etc.

[Carissa] (too dark)

[Lara] uuuuuuugggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

[Ryan] Wait, you are going into Skarp?

[Lara] (testing)

[Lisa] BC's scroll about building the moat with the goblins

[Ryan] I didn't realize he needed to have that exam yet

[Lisa] [Master] there were 76 deaths by workers but they finished 6 days early [Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes. I was curious. His was cheaper than ours since he made slaves of the goblins [Branwyn (Lisa)] He killed 76 of them in the process! [Master] so the leader of the goblins got six extra barrels of ale and three extra hams

[Lara] (Carissa - what about this?)

[Carissa] (much better)

[Carissa] (can read and stands out from others)

[Snezana (Spring)] (yay)

[Lara] (thx. I keep having to change because the colors are too similar for me)

[Lara] wow---so BC killed 76 of them---this is good information to have

[Lara] did we take BC's body back to Lady E?

[Master] yes

[Lara] >:-(

[Snezana (Spring)] (there was ritual combat)

[Snezana (Spring)] (it was cute)

[Lisa] 76 died in process of building the moat so quickly

[Lisa] not sure he zapped 76 personally

[Master] out of a tribe of 200+

[Lisa] all for some extra ham and ale

[Lara] that's a lot, I think but they didn't seemed to mind if they had ale and hams?

[Lisa] so you see where their priorities are

[Lara] six barrels...3 hams...

[Lara] let me do the math on that

[Lara] does that mean there are 124 of them left? or did it start off at 276?

[Master] at this point you do not know

[Lara] hm...okay

[Master] Lisa? you ready?

[Lisa] sure [Master] and ACTION

[Master] Gathered in the church after returning from Quellcon

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (after Emerald explained the plan and Talwin was knighted I assume)

[Master] (date may or may not be right)

[Master] yes

[Master] everyone has returned back to this area

[Master] before leaving for Dragon Fen Manor

Branwyn (Lisa) after the celebrations for Talwin have calmed, turns to Snee

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Snezana, I have heard all that has been planned. Are you ready for this responsibility?

Snezana (Spring) takes a big breath

[Snezana (Spring)] yes. yes, I am

Emerald (Lara) smiles upon Snee

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "Good. I agree and I am sure Aclim shall watch over you."

Snezana (Spring) bows

[Snezana (Spring)] may I prove worthy

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then, as of this day I appoint you, Snezana, Governor of the Northwest Wastes, protectorate of Dragon Fen.

Brer Necholas (TMO) stands silently by and observes.

Snezana (Spring) bows again

Talwin (Michael-14198) Still in his own shock, but smiles widely at Snee

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is not like a knighthood so I shan't tap you with Tiberius' sword

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles again

[Snezana (Spring)] thank you. I will do all I can to render this region safe

Emerald (Lara) overjoyed with big smiles

Emerald (Lara) leans forwards and clasps happy hands

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But when I get home I shall have Nevin draw up the necessary papers. You shall have a tabard and necessary things to prove your authority

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have confidence in you, Snee.

[Snezana (Spring)] that will help. and I believe I should set up residence and office in the haunted village

[Branwyn (Lisa)] In all of you

[Snezana (Spring)] thank you

Emerald (Lara) slightly curtsies

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs "So you won't be lonely? Or will you get rid of the spirits?"

[Snezana (Spring)] they need to be given rest. that'll be a high priority item, as the trades people will want to move back in

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Very good

[Snezana (Spring)] those souls need to be sent where they belong to rest

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods to himself in agreement.

[Snezana (Spring)] I was tempted to simply stay out here, but I do need to return to the church to collect my things and wrap up my affairs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am sure you must speak with Kenna

[Snezana (Spring)] certainly.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I know you all need me to identify the two wands so unless you need me for anything else here today, I can head home to prepare for that.

Talwin (Michael-14198) Nods gravely

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I need to tell Nevin of all that has happened

Emerald (Lara) nods

[Branwyn (Lisa)] For once my report may be longer than his

Talwin (Michael-14198) Mutters "I doubt that"

Branwyn (Lisa) grins

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] test

[Carissa] (y)

[Emerald (Lara)] (test works)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I think you are in the cellar Lisa :) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (looked like bob was typing so I was waiting)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Ah. Sorry)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Mine never is accurate, so I think it freezes)

[Snezana (Spring)] (I think my part is over)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no I think he is typing a book or fell asleep on keyboard)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] LOL

[Master] chuckles

[Master] I am watching

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so Snee has accepted the appt - Bran is ready to head home - what is the immediate plan?)

[Emerald (Lara)] (party?)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (So. Pete for oil?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sounds good to get that going)

[Snezana (Spring)] (oh yeah sure)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I'm thinking Snee will have to give the order for "Whelp, he aint getting any deader! Back o work!"

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Emperors New Groove reference for the inclined

[Master] I am ready for Pete when the group is

[Emerald (Lara)] (ROFLMAO)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (So, just say, Talwin, fix this moat issue, and He will approach Pete)

[Snezana (Spring)] hi Pete

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we're always ready for Pete)

[Snezana (Spring)] (did we figure out how much oil we need?)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Shhhh. Pete will handle that :) )

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (ROFLMAO - doo do do dootoo dee doo do)

[Master] I do think you should RP between the group first

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Tmo. haha)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQoC5tIXA3s

[Snezana (Spring)] let’s get Pete going on the oil

[Master] Snee giving people like Skarp and Talwin orders, etc.

Emerald (Lara) listening

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Right. And then Talwin and Brer and Skarp go forth and do gods work)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (if you want to get the pool bridge started, Pete can be obtaining wood and whatever else you need to build a bridge)

[Snezana (Spring)] Skarp, Talwin, are you two staying back or coming back to Dragon Fen before coming back out here?

[Snezana (Spring)] oh , Brer, what about you too?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Smiles broadly. "I wouldn’t dream of leaving you in hell without making it habitable first!"

Skarphedin (Ryan) glances around.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we have 30 gp - 10 gold and 20 in gems if Pete needs something to get started with)

Brer Necholas (TMO) steps forward. "What can I do for you, Auntie?"

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I don't particularly enjoy being here, but if you need help, I will be here.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I hope I got that title right - I can *never* remember those right)

[Snezana (Spring)] we need to get Pete to go get the oil and we need to get the goblins started filling in the moat. someone will need to keep an eye on whenever the puddings beach themselves so they can be doused and incinerated

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I can help oversee that Governess

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Quick note. Can she be called governess or is that improper)

[Snezana (Spring)] (I think governor is best)

[Snezana (Spring)] I think governess is essentially nanny)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (makes me think of the Sound of Music)

[Emerald (Lara)] I can help with the Goblins, Governor.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Pretend I said that then :) )

[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahaha)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Sound of Music?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Maria was the governess)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (.....)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (never mind)

Skarphedin (Ryan) perks up. "Do you need help killing goblins?"

[Snezana (Spring)] righto. so Emerald, can you negotiate a fair wage with bonuses for fast work? we don't want to kill 70 goblins, but if they are really motivated, they should be rewarded

Emerald (Lara) grins "We hope not Skarp"

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] oh...Uh. sorry Lisa. I'm dumb. I uh. It's an older reference Sir, but it checks out. LOL

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I'm so sorry

[Snezana (Spring)] plainly they love ham

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Movie right?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I’ll just add that to my list

[Emerald (Lara)] /nods and starts strategizing in her head

[Master] LOL at Michael

Emerald (Lara) nods and starts strategizing in her head

[Snezana (Spring)] thanks Emerald

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I don't speak Goblin, but I'm willing to help with them if you need me.

[Snezana (Spring)] who wants to be in charge of pudding flambe?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I'm really sorry. I had to google it! I recognize a couple songs at least)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I can do that Governor

Emerald (Lara) smiles and turns to Brer

[Master (to Spring only)] you do want Skarp to go searching for a new mine too to help bring in some money to pay for things

[Snezana (Spring)] thanks Talwin

[Snezana (Spring)] Skarp, I have a special idea in mind for you, if you are willing

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Oh?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (That's Sir Talwin!!! LOL)

[Emerald (Lara)] Thank you Brer. I would like to discuss some negotiation ideas. Are you up for that?

[Snezana (Spring)] we're gonna need a new mine. would you be willing to search for one?

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "Of course."

Skarphedin (Ryan) tries not to think of racial stereotyping.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (LOL Ryan)

[Master] LOL

[Snezana (Spring)] we'll need the resources to help pay for things, and the goblins will need somewhere to go when they are done here

[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahaha)

Skarphedin (Ryan) grunts. "I have some experience underground, and suppose we dwarves have a bit more stonesense than you Uplanders.

Emerald (Lara) thinks to herself about how to convince the Goblins to go away

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I will see what I can do. Maybe get some of my brethren or some gnomes to help out.

[Snezana (Spring) (to Ryan only)] I only suggested that because BOB made me

[Master] LOL

[Snezana (Spring)] (I think the goblins will like the new mine)

[Emerald (Lara)] Brer, do we know where exactly the Goblins are living? I know it is under the church but...

[Emerald (Lara)] (perfect! that is where I was going with this conversation)

Brer Necholas (TMO) shakes his head. "I'm afraid I don't know for myself. From what I've heard the others say, it definitely sounds like it.

[Snezana (Spring)] (if it helps with negotiation, we will LET them occupy the new mine)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hee)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Good lord. We are terrible. Except for Brer...)

[Emerald (Lara)] (yes!)

[Snezana (Spring)] (ok is that all the action items? until I can de-haunt the village?)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (So... It's a forced Labor Camp for Bran's Political Prisoners Yes?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Skarp will give them a perfect mine for them.... one with nice slabs of stone that they can lay down on for a long, long time.)

[Snezana (Spring)] oh we need to arrange for the bridge over the muck pool

[Snezana (Spring)] oh wait, I think the craftsmen of the haunted village will be working on that

[Emerald (Lara)] (no, it is the Orange Drought Among the Kingdom

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I can help with the Bridge too Governor

[Snezana (Spring)] excellent!

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I will have to wait for the Moat to some extent

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] So can begin work on that

[Emerald (Lara)] (or rather country---long negotiation exercise we use to show that one group need s apart of something and the other needs their throwaways)

[Snezana (Spring)] I am s eager to see all of this put right!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] It is good work you're trying to do.

Emerald (Lara) smiles with excitement

Snezana (Spring) beams

[Master] ready for Pete?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (sure)

[Master] Spring? Lisa?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sure)

[Snezana (Spring)] (sure)

[Pete (Master)] Countess,

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I vote with the majority)

[Pete (Master)] I am pleased you are back

[Pete (Master)] it will be very good to work with someone who understands the importance of a great church

[Pete (Master)] You a re well known for your work

[Pete (Master)] You have built so many churches

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Branwyn starts smoldering)

[Pete (Master)] and now you are the patron to one of the oldest and most magnificent cathedrals in the Kingdom

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It was not my work, but the work of great teams

[Pete (Master)] THIS will be a great thing

[Pete (Master)] I so look forward to working with you

[Pete (Master)] the new windows will be amazing

[Pete (Master)] and the new lighthouse

[Pete (Master)] I came up with that for you

[Pete (Master)] we can add that to the rear of the church

[Pete (Master)] not part of the original structure of course

[Pete (Master)] we will have to build that as a separate structure

[Pete (Master)] but it will be a light to shine out over the Wastes

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (His enthusiasm is really scary :) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well you shall be working directly with Snezana, our new Governor, Sir Talwin on engineering matters and Brer Necholas for church matters

[Pete (Master)] to show everyone that Branwyn the Magnificent has taken charge

[Snezana (Spring)] (I like it)

[Pete (Master)] Shining a light into the darkness

[Pete (Master)] the Mist shall be overcome

[Pete (Master)] it is a great work

[Pete (Master)] and the windows!

Brer Necholas (TMO) chuckles quietly to himself.

[Pete (Master)] a mage of renown

[Pete (Master)] someone to enchant my windows

Emerald (Lara) furrows brow

[Pete (Master)] guardians that will step forth to defend the church from any who would harm it in the future

[Pete (Master)] it is a great work

[Pete (Master)] it is an honor to put my life's work in your hands

[Pete (Master)] (pauses)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That all sounds lovely, as I said, this shall be the work of our team and Governor Snezana and Brer Necholas will go over the fine details.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think before we can get into that we still need to handle some basic concerns first

Branwyn (Lisa) looks to Snee

[Snezana (Spring)] I am looking forward to working together for peace and prosperity in this region

[Pete (Master)] We will make this a magnificent place

Snezana (Spring) grins

[Pete (Master)] a couple hundred thousand gold will be a small price to pay for such magnificence

[Pete (Master)] and the pilgrims will come from all over the world to marvel at this wonder

Brer Necholas (TMO) shakes his head.

[Snezana (Spring)] hmmmmm. that sound like a large investment

[Snezana (Spring)] I assume you have all the figures on paper?

[Pete (Master)] Oh it is a small price to pay for the most widely regarded cathedral in the world

[Branwyn (Lisa)] One step at a time Pete

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Snee

[Snezana (Spring)] we are going to need to focus on public safety first

[Snezana (Spring)] so the moat and the pool at the steps are the top priority

[Pete (Master)] each of the windows should be able to be constructed for less than 150,000 gold each

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I apologize but in half hour, I need to step away for half hour to set up equipment for employees)

[Snezana (Spring)] and while those are underway, we can have a look at the proposal for the rest of the things

[Pete (Master)] we will only create the two of them

[Snezana (Spring)] (passionate about these windows, ain't he?)

[Pete (Master)] They are Glass Guardians, enchanted to come alive to protect the cathedral

Skarphedin (Ryan) mutters about windows being a strategic weak point.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (That's Baddass)

[Snezana (Spring)] that sounds amazing

[Pete (Master)] (see Glass Golem)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Sounds shoddy. Dwarves would know to use Magma Golems)

[Snezana (Spring)] I really want to help get those. we have to do the needful first though

[Pete (Master)] (needs a 14th level mage or a 14th level priest)

[Snezana (Spring)] public safety. moat and pool

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (better get moving on that XP Branwyn)

[Pete (Master)] (6 months of construction time per window 125,000 per)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (This is totally what I’m thinking of and I seriously hope bob is too! :)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not happening unless we make this church a serious money maker)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] https://youtu.be/ue0cSu72A14?t=368

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (So... we are making this the Suomi capital of the world?)

[Snezana (Spring)] (we could)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Sounds horrifying...)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (...let's do it.)

[Carissa] (reason #231231 we need to make sure there isn't a fourth trip... glass golems would be 1000x worse than griffons to fight off)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (/me is offended)

[Snezana (Spring)] (if we could help the priest find like some saint relic it could become some kind of pilgrimage site)

[Pete (Master)] (quote from Carissa)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we see the difference between the old and new estate - Dragon Fen just got created and doesn't have the kind of wealth the estates that have been in existence for hundreds of years have accumulated - this guy is thinking he is still working for a Quellcon kind of estate)

[Snezana (Spring)] (but for now, public safety. moat and pool)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol Carissa)

[Snezana (Spring)] (aaaaaaahhhhhhh)

Skarphedin (Ryan) snidely. "Could we also engrave runes into the walls that turns anyone who dies here into a horrifying undead monster?"

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Gotta spend money to make money Lisa :) )

[Snezana (Spring)] Pete, here's the thing

[Carissa] (isn't Tiera a saintly relic? too shoddy to charge to see her?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (him ,sorry)

[Snezana (Spring)] Dragon Fen is a brand new estate and doesn't have a fortune yet

[Snezana (Spring)] so it can't invest in costly things yet

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no one has been in those crypts for many years)

[Carissa] (just tossing out thoughts, carry on :) )

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (So. We could make it the new Disneyland of the age... lol)

[Snezana (Spring)] that said, we are planning on finding and opening a mine. and we are plannic economic development

[Emerald (Lara)] (I like the charging idea. lol)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Come see our expensive as fudge Stain glass windows)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Come ride the Crypt Log Flume!)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Toss a coin at the Saints)

[Snezana (Spring)] (ha!0

[Emerald (Lara)] /e (laughing)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (get your coin inside the coffin and win a stuffed animal)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I meant that it is a good idea Carissa - no one has seen them - we can dust them off and show them off)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (See the XMAS Special of the Haunted Mansion, er I mean Crypt)

Emerald (Lara) (laughing)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Branwyn will be put in a glass sarcophagus here as a final defense.)

[Snezana (Spring)] but it's good to have goals and the windows are surely a worthy goal

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (We'll get there)

[Master] LOL Ryan

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] ("MUST.... CRUSH.... CAPITALISM...")

[Carissa] (lol fair, also tossing out the thought for later consideration I should have added rather than get you all sidetracked again)

[Lara] I am away from the keyboard.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (For now, we can just tell Pete that we'll get there if Snee wants. Ultimately she's the Budget master now MWHAHAHA. I just have to build her stuff...)

[Master] So if you have specific orders for him

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Is there a way for me to get in touch with Baron Ulgin, or just wait until his next visit?

[Snezana (Spring)] Pete, Talwin is going to be working with you

[Master] and I suppose Michael Spring and Lisa should come up with the actual funding

[Snezana (Spring)] but top of the list is getting oil

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Right)

[Master] how much you have to spend right now

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Just don't tell Bran. Like a spouse with a credit card problem. The debt doesn't exist if they don't know about it right?)

[Snezana (Spring)] the goblins are going to be filling in the moat and as they do, the puddings are going to emerge. they need to be doused in oil and set on fire

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (as a plot idea - consider maybe hiring out part of the group to do dangerous tasks for neighboring estates in return for supplies)

[Snezana (Spring)] (I like it)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Also a great idea TMO)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Why don't I go first with Pete bob?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (/me hands Bob a silver platter)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Get that done?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (You got that backwards, Snee.)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I may have to step away soon)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Wait, no, the goblins will be filling up the moat. That's correct. Their bodies will, at least...)

[Snezana (Spring)] ( :_P )

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (/me clears throat)

[Master] I am only saying that if you start talking to him he will go off on his ideas, you need to know "Pete you have 5 GP to work with, or what ever the amount is)

[Master] plot out OOC

[Snezana (Spring)] (ugh)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] ("Pete, you have two copper and a rusty nail to work with. Make it happen.")

[Master] then go back to IC to convince him

[Master] LOL Ryan

[Snezana (Spring)] (this is my least favorite part of the game0

[Snezana (Spring)] (ok how much money do we have on us and do we know what oil costs?)

[Master] Yes to Spring that is why you have Ryan and Michael to make them do it for you grins

[Lisa] since this wasn't the kind of adventure we need cash for - we have 30 gp worth of gold and gems on hand right this minute

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Why don't we give him 15 Gold pieces for oil. After the moat, we can reevaluate what he needs money for. Tell him the better he haggles on Oil, the more gold he has for fun stuff)

[Lara] I am back at the keyboard.

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Like his windows. Step by Step)

[Snezana (Spring)] (Michael, I like it)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (The Moat has to happen first)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Could we cut down on expenses if Skarphedin could find a nearby source of meat?)

[Lisa] want to have him get the wood or stone for the bridge?

[Snezana (Spring)] (and the sewage pool right up there too)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (On un unrelated matter, how fatty would you consider goblin meat?)

[Lisa] goblin meat?

[Lisa] lol

[Snezana (Spring)] (wood first, stone later)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (/me looks disapprovingly at Skarp)

[Lisa] too much gristle Ryan

[Emerald (Lara)] (we will need leverage with the Goblins)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I would give him 5 Gold Pieces for wood to build the bridge

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Can be a nice bridge as it will have to last for a small time

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I'm guessing a nice bridge will cost more than 5 gp or materials)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I think that 20 GP will be plenty for a starting point and initial supplies

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

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (but to be honest I don't know)

[Master] just as an example of crafted wood, Skiff and Canoe

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] one sec

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] main.ships doesn't exists

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I'd prefer not to empower a church that has given us the likes of Black Cloak, but what do I know?)

[Master] chapter 4 TMO

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (IE, don't make this the eighth wonder of the world. I would agree with Michael's 20 gold for now.)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Hm. I'm estimated 30 Gold roughly the length of a canoe

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] So, quick idea bob

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Do you mind?

[Master] build a ferry that crosses the moat and charge pilgrims one silver to cross?

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Uh. NO

[Snezana (Spring)] (save the magnificence for the windows)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (depends on if the congregation here is rich or poor)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (could always leave the moat and build a bridge over it also)

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kNwvIEQsg0

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Do letters of credit and redeemable notes work out here in the badlands as long as Dragon's Fen is backing it? I don't want t o haul precious metals all over the place

[Lisa] (not sure if the costs of a finished boat are the same as supplies to build one ourselves

[Emerald (Lara)] ...

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] With the Governors Seal?

[Master] (yes to Lisa)

[Carissa] (We have the perfect cup to collect that silver in)

[Master] it is up to your group Michael

[Lisa] once Branwyn gets home she can work with Nevin on dealing with getting you the money you need

[Master] you can do that as long as you back it up

[Master] and yes to Carissa

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (oooh, are we going to have people place an obol on their mouths and use that to pay the ferryman?)

[Master] weird how that works out huh?

[Lisa] I meant we have 30 gp right now for him to get started as we go home and get ready to come back

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (No that's fine. Just don't want to deal with stolen funds due to goblins and the such.)

[Carissa] (almost like you plan things or something sometimes ;) )

[Master] grins

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (OK. Then we'll give him 25 GP?)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (Oil, Bridge Supplies, and Basic Building Supplies. Maybe a guard to accompany him back and forth)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I'm just trying to get the moat out of the way)

[Lisa] (he's got a bunch of apprentices)

[Master] to make it easier for everyone, Talwin stays and interacts with Pete off stage left as the rest go home and gather things, Indentify and such then return

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Thank you god, er, I mean bob

[Master] means Michael does not have a character for a bit but it does move things along

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Sorry

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] zzzzziiiiipppp!

[Master] but he can work on math

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] whoosh!

[Master] and such

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] wheeeee!

[Snezana (Spring)] (thank you, because I am tired AF and just spent all the coherence I had left just now)

Branwyn (Lisa) hands Talwin the gold and gems

[Master] you did great Spring

Talwin (Michael-14198) Eyes wide

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes)

[Snezana (Spring)] (being up a ladder all day takes it out of me because I’m phobic)

[Master] and as Lisa keeps pointing out this is a TEAM

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] I'll guard it well for the Governor!

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (I know I'm sorry. I'm just trying to help move stuff along. I'll slow down a bit)

[Master] Branwyn looks over everything but each person gets to handle a small part to help each other out

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Use it to get things started while we go home

[Master] you are doing great too Michael

Talwin (Michael-14198) Nods gravely

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes yes)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] We will make this place a beacon for Dragon's Fen

Talwin (Michael-14198) Smiles

[Master] this is what people need, for Players and Characters to take charge and help the story move forward rather than waiting for someone else to make a decision

[Snezana (Spring)] Pete, since I’ve been appointed governor, I’ll return soon and set up headquarters in the village north of here

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] Just maybe not as quickly as Mr. Pete would like

[Snezana (Spring)] so I’ll be close at hand

[Pete (Master)] In Hourglass?

[Pete (Master)] I can get you a tent

[Pete (Master)] so you can sleep

[Pete (Master)] the village is haunted

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (A 125,000 GP Tent!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (lol)

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] ( A steal!)

[Snezana (Spring)] thanks, I may need it until we get the dead laid to rest properly

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (certainly is, from someone)

[Pete (Master)] Oh there are no dead there

[Pete (Master)] at least none that I have seen

[Snezana (Spring)] if it's haunted ... ?

[Pete (Master)] but people never are at ease there,

[Pete (Master)] always feeling they need to DO something

Brer Necholas (TMO) turns to listen.

[Pete (Master)] no one has lived there in decades that I know of

[Snezana (Spring)] so it's haunted by an urge, rather than by spirits?

[Pete (Master)] I have never seen any spirits

[Pete (Master)] but strange things happen there

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmmm...

[Snezana (Spring)] well, that will definitely required further investigation

[Pete (Master)] I saw a wall with the word TURN writing in letters 3 feet tall

[Pete (Master)] It was gone the next time I was there

[Snezana (Spring)] hmmmm interesting

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Definitely.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Turn as in undead or turn as in an hourglass. Fascinating

[Talwin (Michael-14198)] (That's creepy. AN now I must depart for half an hour. AFK)

[Pete (Master)] I will ask my wife to get a tent ready for you

[Snezana (Spring)] please give her my regards and thanks

[Master] OK

[Master] so Talwin is staying back with Pete and the church

[Master] the rest are heading home to Dragon Fen?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (where do you want Brer and Sundown? Here or there?)

[Emerald (Lara)] I will be staying as well...

[Master] Ryan does Skarp have mining skills? or is he going to recruit some gnome miners?

[Master] I was thinking that Emerald would go back to the Manor and then return to the church

[Emerald (Lara)] At least temporarily

[Master] just to get actual clothes etc.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Recruit)

[Emerald (Lara)] So, I'm going back to Dragon Fen with Branwyn (lol)

[Master] so Skarp will go back to the Dragon Fen Manor

[Emerald (Lara)] (when is Emerald supposed to do this Goblin thing?)

[Master] in a couple of days when you return to the church

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (can we bring a couple of basic guards with us when we return, and the dwarf and gnome Guild members?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Brer can bring his horse back maybe? Only threat would be goblins now)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (agreed - the horse is probably getting very bored right about now)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I don't remember it's name offhand)

[Master] chuckles

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (it's around somewhere)

[Lisa] Ashka?

[Master] yes to Lisa

[Lisa] Saw it on the list - was why I thought about it

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (well done)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (aha, the mystery is solved)

[Master] brb restroom

[Master] then we head back to the Manor

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (brb)

[Lisa] did Ilero ever make 12th level?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (just did with this last xp bump)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I need to up him this week)

[Lisa] I have a whole list of stuff waiting for him to appraise when he is 12th

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] LOL

[Lisa] or we have to pay someone

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (so nothing to with him, only what he can do for you. :P )

[Lisa] he's the one that retired

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] me chuckles

[Lisa] Bran would have loved to travel through the crypts of the undead with him :)

[Lisa] and on any other adventure for that matter

[TMO] You'd have had to be very persuasive to get him to come

[Lisa] and she wouldn't have tried

[Lisa] she knows

[TMO] :D

[TMO] I'm glad he is a popular character. I enjoyed him.

[Lara] okay. what's next?

[Lisa] we all did!

[Lisa] going home as soon as Bob is back

[TMO] but I was out of things for him.

[Lisa] I understand

[TMO] he'd gained a lot, but also lost a lot, and there wasn't much more to gain, only lose.

[TMO] and the only other stories I could think of were very personal and would have hijacked the whole group probably to do.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (back)

[TMO] and this is not the Ilero Story hour. :) It's the Dragonslayers.

[Lisa] that would be okay as long as we could come along and watch :)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (So, the Ilero and Branwyn story hour)

[Lisa] I'm sorry we never got to go to Blackwater

[Lara] (I’m going to be calling it a night soon)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Considering the rest of us haven't even seen a dragon yet :P )

[Snezana (Spring)] (I am too)

[Carissa] (don't jinx it)

[Lisa] you haven't?

[TMO] I think that was the next logical story arc for him, and I suspect Bob didn't really want to do it.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I may have to when it comes time to put the kids down to bed)

[Lisa] oh you saw a wyrm

[Carissa] Peyton was wyrm or dragon?

[Lisa] there's a wyvern out there

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Skarphedin's mother calls his father a dragon but that's a.... a personal matter.)

[Carissa] Skarp come to Macbeth, right?

[TMO] eww

[Lisa] I'm sure Bob can get you a dragon

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (OH YEAH)

[Carissa] He did. I remember the spider

[Lisa] thought Peyton was a wyrm

[Lisa] not much difference

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Snezana (Spring)] (hahaha)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I was super-sad that no one was able to capture Peyton in their pokeball)

[Carissa] Yeah not sure, but close enough either way?

[Carissa] Same :(

[Carissa] Next dragon will be pet. It's all good.

[Master] LOL

[Lisa] LOL

[TMO] DragonSLAYERS, not DragonSITTERS

[Carissa] Slayer the myths about dragons!

[Carissa] That's the tagline, right?

[Lisa] ok - people are going to cut out soon - going home now?

[Lisa] *click, click* ?

Lisa looks down to make sure she is wearing her ruby slippers

[Spring] Dragons Lairs

[Spring] we've been spelling it wrong the whole time

[Lisa] ahhhh well then!

[Lisa] :D

[Master] LOL to Spring

[Master] that is a quote

[TMO] cute

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (DragonSlayers.... oh, this whole time I thought it was DragonLay.... never mind.)

[Carissa] lol

[Spring] hahahahaha Ryan!

[TMO] Dragons Layers. They're like Ogres

[Lisa] lol

[Master] To get map of The Craniate Wastes moved 18'01".

[Master] and 18 miles later you are back in Dragon Fen Manor

[TMO] the slippers worked

[TMO] one of the things to add to our checklist, doesn't have to be any time soon, but Brer's payment is still due.

Branwyn (Lisa) as they approach, breaks from the group and runs into the house

[TMO] he's not rushing it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] DEMI!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Demitrius!!

Skarphedin (Ryan) glances around.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Good to be back.

[Lara] (hi guys, I’m calling it a night)

Branwyn (Lisa) rushes upstairs to the nursery leaving everyone in the entry

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If you will excuse me, I need to go talk to Ashka. If he's even still talking to me.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Night!)

Lara has left the game on Fri Oct 02 21:47:16 EDT 2020

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Goodnight Lara)

[Carissa] (Night)

[Jilly (Master)] Branwyn glad you are back

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Her son is there?)

[Jilly (Master)] no

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jilly, where is Demi?

[Jilly (Master)] Nanny Gthhawk has him out side

[Jilly (Master)] they are cleaning up

[Spring] (ok that's it for me, have a good night!!!)

[Jilly (Master)] (night Spring)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Goodnight Spring)

Spring has left the game on Fri Oct 02 21:49:37 EDT 2020

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Night!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok - I was going to have my character run off scene and everyone is logging off)

[Carissa] (lol)

[Uncle Fotopoulos (Master)] Excuse me Branwyn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Thistle Brer and Skarp can talk to Jilly :) )

Branwyn (Lisa) slightly impatiently "Yes Uncle Foto?"

[Uncle Fotopoulos (Master)] I was not planning on returning to Skull Church with the group

[Uncle Fotopoulos (Master)] I am going to stay and rebuild my own church

Skarphedin (Ryan) to Jilly. "So.... any undead abominations come by while we were gone?"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The one here at Dragon Fen?

[Uncle Fotopoulos (Master)] I think that I need to see who needs my guidance

[Uncle Fotopoulos (Master)] and I can help them adjust to the idea of you having a more ... steady.. visible hand here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be greatly appreciated Foto.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can we speak later? I need to see my son right now.

Uncle Fotopoulos (Master) nods

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps at dinner?

Branwyn (Lisa) runs outside leaving the others with Nevin and Jilly for time being

[Uncle Fotopoulos (Master)] smiles

[Jilly (Master)] So did you have a fun adventure?

[Jilly (Master)] What did you bring home?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Don't mind her. She thought goblins kidnapped Demi

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Might have a necklace of zombie fingers somewhere around here.

Skarphedin (Ryan) rummages around.

Thistle (Carissa) shrugs, "I got a pretty ring. I don't think it's made of zombies..."

[Jilly (Master)] Why would Goblins kidnap Demi?

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs. "The usual."

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Man, I haven't thought of Andromeda in a long, long time)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Some note or something said something about it.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Might be a good idea to keep a close eye out, regardless.

[Jilly (Master)] I will

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

Skarphedin (Ryan) glances at his axe with a critical eye, polishing the edge with his sleeve.

[Jilly (Master)] So what did you find there?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (and yes Necholas can play 20 questions with Branwyn any time)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Undead dead things!

[Jilly (Master)] there must be more than a ring

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well yeah but that's all boring stuff to me.

[Jilly (Master)] you were gone for days

Skarphedin (Ryan) pulls out his zombie finger necklace. "Here you are."

Skarphedin (Ryan) hands it over.

Thistle (Carissa) sniffs the air, "Are you sure that's zombie? Smells more like those ghouls."

Jilly (Master) grimaces, Thank you

Skarphedin (Ryan) looks in mind surprise. "Is there a difference? Dead is dead, and dead-dead is even better."

[Jilly (Master)] I will make sure this goes into Brawyn's collections

[Indigo (Lisa)] (jilly still pregnant?)

Thistle (Carissa) shrugs, "One smelled worse."

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Fair enough.

[Jilly (Master)] (yes)

[Jilly (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g00kEcGh4j8

[Jilly (Master)] So you went out into the wilderness, you found some dead things and all you have are fingers and a ring?

[Jilly (Master)] That seems like you did not do very well

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] What's important in this life is not what we take with us, but what we leave behind.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I left behind a large number of dead thigns, and that's enough for me.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] things*

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (you left behind a lot of dead thighs??)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (They are the fatty meat. I would prefer ar.... I mean, wings)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh. I think they're taking the church and stuff, too? I dunno. Boring grown up talk. Snee is going to move, and Talwin got a sword put to his neck, and stuff.

[Thistle (Carissa)] I think Brer and Sundown are going to stay there to judge things for awhile?

Jilly (Master) looks at Brer and Sundown

[Jilly (Master)] Your things are in the boarding house

[Thistle (Carissa)] Ummm.... and then there's this new mage lady we met but she's... er, well she WAS behind us. Guess she went somewhere.

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs. "Spellflingers... never can keep track of them."

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] There was a minor skirmish out in the eastern swamps

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh! And we met an elf. It wasn't Shi though. I didn't see her. Guess she's not back yet. Why are grown up so boring?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Alligator swamp skirmish?

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] Jilly sent out a group of farmers to go help some gnomes

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] everyone returned safely

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] but you might want to investigate Master Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] Farmers?

Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master) shrugs, and gestures at Jilly

[Jilly (Master)] They did just fine

[Jilly (Master)] Who else was going to go ? Shur is pregnant and not leaving

[Jilly (Master)] You were all busy off on an adventure

[Indigo (Lisa)] Again?

[Jilly (Master)] Are you surprised?

[Indigo (Lisa)] So many babies or almost babies all over the place

[Jilly (Master)] more hands to do things

[Jilly (Master)] more mouths to feed

[Jilly (Master)] When are you going to start a family Thistle?

Indigo (Lisa) laughs and looks at Thistle

Skarphedin (Ryan) smirks and looks expectantly.

[Thistle (Carissa)] I don't know. I was told I shouldn't try to find wolves because they might not get along. I was thinking maybe I should start with panthers?

Jilly (Master) laughs

[Jilly (Master)] Indigo did say something about gypsy girls

[Jilly (Master)] and gypsy boys

[Thistle (Carissa)] Which Indigo?

[Jilly (Master)] who is Indigo?

[Jilly (Master)] Who else?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not me Indigo

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Why is Indigo?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well there's this Indigo and then there's Tall Indigo.

[Jilly (Master)] I have heard this Indigo talk about the gypsies that he and Branwyn traveled with

[Jilly (Master)] and I have heard you talk about the Indigo you spent time with Thistle

[Thistle (Carissa)] Actually it used to be Indigo and Short Indigo but I haven't seen Tall Indigo in a few years so now Short Indigo is Indigo.

[Jilly (Master)] are you telling me you like Indigo?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Tall Indigo can be fun! He's a really good dancer.

[Jilly (Master)] I will send word to him to visit you then

[Jilly (Master)] Sometimes men need to be nudged a bit

[Thistle (Carissa)] Ummm I don't know if Grandma would approve...

Brer Necholas (TMO) enters the room. "There's another Indigo?"

[Thistle (Carissa)] I mean, I dunno what she approves us. Except me not waking her from her naps.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah! You woulda met him if you had gone to Ghostwood

[Jilly (Master)] I did not go to Ghostwood

[Jilly (Master)] Branwyn visits there sometimes

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "I've heard."

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well we used to travel before Ghostwood, but I don't really remember it.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Count Drake is a friend to the gypsies too

[Thistle (Carissa)] That's what Gramma says... but I dunno if I believe her. She told me vegetables would make me taller, too, and I'm still not that tall.

[Master] Treble moved 5'08".

[Master] Demitrius moved 4'05".

[Master] Nanny Gothhawk moved 17'05".

[Master] Dahlia moved 19'11".

[Master] Uncle Fotopoulos moved 35'07".

[Master] Uncle Fotopoulos targets Hornbeak Orthaginal. Distance: 0'11"

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] Indigo my friend

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] I am glad you have returned

[Indigo (Lisa)] Wu Sen!

Wu Sen Cho (Master) bows

[Indigo (Lisa)] Good to see you!

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] I was waiting for your return

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Looks like I will have to help put kids to bed. Sorry, all. Have a good weekend.)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Thanks for the session :) )

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Goodnight Ryan!)

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] (night Ryan, see you next week!)

Ryan has left the game on Fri Oct 02 22:21:25 EDT 2020

[Thistle (Carissa)] (night)

Indigo (Lisa) shuffles his feet a bit

[Indigo (Lisa)] You're leaving aren't you?

Wu Sen Cho (Master) warm smile

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] yes I need to return to my family, my wife will be missing me

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] my children are grown

[Indigo (Lisa)] I understand. You've been gone a long time.

Wu Sen Cho (Master) nods

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm sorry we couldn't travel around the world with you.

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] I am sorry we did not

Wu Sen Cho (Master) grins

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] I will hope that you get to visit my world some day

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe we can. I would like that very much!

[Indigo (Lisa)] You are a good friend Wu Sen. I'm going to miss you.

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] I have written some notes for you, I left them with Jilly

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] She has been good to help me make arrangements

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you need anything for the trip? We can get you supplies and stuff

[Indigo (Lisa)] Jilly's the best!

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] She has been more then generous

[Indigo (Lisa)] When do you leave?

Brer Necholas (TMO) watches and listens.

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] There is a merchant caravan leaving out of Redfern lake in five days

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] I will go there to meet them

[Indigo (Lisa)] Can I go with you to Redfern Lake?

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] and then head down river back to Dryads Lair and make my way back the way I came

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] certainly I would enjoy that my friend

Indigo (Lisa) smiles "Good!"

[Indigo (Lisa)] We should go tomorrow to make sure you are there in time

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] That would be a good idea if you are not needed here

[Indigo (Lisa)] Nah!

Indigo (Lisa) grins "Plenty of people here"

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] there do seem to be

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (fewer and fewer as we go along. ;) )

[Indigo (Lisa)] And on the way I can tell you all the stories about Skull Church!

[Wu Sen Cho (Master)] You always have entertaining stories

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh these will be good!

[Master] so that looks like all the loose ends are tied up

[Master] just to click time for the Indentify and ??

[Master] how much time will that be?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] are we typing it as Indentify as a running gag or what? ;)

[Lisa] sure - we can do discussing with Nevin and Jilly on the website?

[Master] one day of travel

[Lisa] LOL

[Master] LOL

[Master] We can

[Master] and I just keep spitting out what ever happens from my fingers as I go along

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] well, it's been very consistently Indentify, seemingly from multiple people. ;)

[Lisa] didn't want to take a whole bunch of game time going over what we just decided

[Lisa] so as far as I can see we have the 2 wands and the ring of protection Thistle has

[Master] but 1 day travel from Skull Church to here, sleep, memorize spells, cast, sleep, one day to travel back so 3 days minimum

[Master] might be 4?

[Master] so when I get the calendar resynced we know

[Lisa] 4

[Master] ok so 4 days

[Lisa] identify needs 8 hours prep time

[Lisa] blows a day

[Master] ok

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and brings her CON down to 4)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Indigo's trip will put him out of commission for 1 week?)

[Master] is he traveling to Redfern Lake staying the 4 days then returning? or going all the way to Loosend with him?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (just FYI - has nothing to do with your calendar thing now)

[Master] Redfern Lake is 25 miles away so 1 day of travel

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no - just to Redfern)

[Master] so 6 days to go there wait and return

[Master] and he can stop at the Orchard House on the way to and from

[Master] and or just stay there when returning

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok)

[Master] it is only the 4.6 miles back and forth

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (would stop on way back)

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

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (identify then?)

[Master] sure

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (apparently Lisa also has a laundry list of things Ilero needs to appraise now that he's gone up a level, so if we run out of things to do tonight we can do that)

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Spells - CHANGED: Identify -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Lightning Bug -- # Memorized: 0 (1),

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Identify: I identify (12) 12 functions with a 90% chance of success. 91-95 = nothing; 96-00 = false read.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (first necromancer wand)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=45] 45

[Master] wand of control undead

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=78] 78

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (command word?)

[Master] yes

[Master] do you want the actual word? or just know you know it?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (just rolled for it)

[Master] yes you know it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok - can make something up if I give it to someone, ok?)

[Master] yes

[Master] grins

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (strength of charges)

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

[Master] trying to be quick and easy

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] FroDobagIns

[Master] Weak Strength (less than a dozen charges left)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (control humanoids wand)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=22] 22

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=87] 87

[Master] Yes you have the work

[Master] word

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=38] 38

[Master] and it is Strong (more than 20 charges left)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (nice)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Thistle's ring of protection)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] eeeeeevil wands

[Carissa] surprising

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=52] 52

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=45] 45

[Master] protection from Fire

[Master] what are the last two for?

[Carissa] So she should light the mote then? ;P

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (first was protection from what and second was if there was more details to learn)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I had extra)

[Master] no extra protection, standard protection from fire ring

[Carissa] How's that work? Half damage or what?

[Master] yes

[Master] will double check but at least that good

[Master] plus from magical fire like fireball

[Master] etc.

[Carissa] Standard spell stuff then? This is what Shi has:

[Carissa] The effect of a protection from fire spell differs according to whether the recipient of the magic is the caster or some other creature. In either case, the spell lasts no longer than one turn per caster level. If the spell is cast upon the caster, it confers complete invulnerability to: normal fires(torches, bonfires, oil fires, and the like); exposure to magical fires such as fiery dragon breath; spells such as burning hands, fireball, fire seeds, fire storm, flame strike, and meteor swarm; hell hound or pyrohydra breath, etc. The invulnerability lasts until the spell has absorbed 12 points of heat or fire damage per level of the caster, at which time the spell is negated. If the spell is cast upon another creature, it gives invulnerability to normal fire, gives a bonus of +4 to saving throw die rolls vs. fire attacks, and reduces damage sustained from magical fires by 50%.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so he was set up so we couldn't fireball him back)

[Carissa] (lol he knew her signature move)

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

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but since it is a ring and not a spell cast on her - she would get the protection level as if she was the caster?)

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

[Carissa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Thistle modified: Magic Item Summary - ADDED: Ring of Fire Resistance, , .

[Carissa] kLoOge does have "Ring of Fire Resistance" if that's it?

[Carissa] The wearer of this ring is totally immune to the effects of normal fires—torches, flaming oil, bonfires, etc. Very large and hot fires, molten lava, hell-hound breath, or a wall of fire spell will cause 10 hit points of damage per round if the wearer is directly within the conflagration. Exceptionally hot fires such as red-dragon breath, pyrohydra breath, fireballs, flame strike, fire storm, etc., are saved against with a +4 bonus to the die roll, and all damage dice are calculated at -2 per die, but each die is never less than 1 in any event. As a rule of thumb, consider very hot fires as those that have a maximum initial exposure of up to 24 hit points, those of exceptional heat (25 or more hit points).

[Master] that is a good match

[Carissa] (yeah wasn't sure how it'd work when I was looking at the spell description)

[Carissa] cool I'll keep that on her sheet then

[Carissa] But is it a good idea for her to have it? I can just see her running into fire now simply because she can...

[Carissa] Not saying I'd do that, but I probably would

[Lisa] Thistle could have a lot of fun with this

[Carissa] lol definitely

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] heh

[Lisa] if she could jump into a bonfire unscathed she could scare people

[Lisa] make them think she is some magical being

[Carissa] or try to fancy up her fortune telling by grabbing balls of fire or something

[Carissa] Exactly. Will have to start thinking of ideas for later :)

[Lisa] yes

[Lisa] yes

[Lisa] (weird lag)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] chuckle

[Carissa] (thought it was me, guess it was kLoOge)

[Master] yes

[Master] I am just here watching

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (so what next?)

[Lisa] seems better now

[Carissa] (finally got internet guy out her Thursday so hopefully no more random internet drops)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (or call it?)

[Carissa] The Ilero stuff?

[Lisa] shoot - forgot the untested potions

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (he hasn't shown up in my campaign list, so I'm probably going to have to log off and back on to pick it up. brb

[Carissa] Was it only one or am I forgetting others?

TMO has left the game on Fri Oct 02 22:53:31 EDT 2020

TMO has joined the game on Fri Oct 02 22:53:38 EDT 2020

TMO is receiving the map New Manor...

TMO has received the map New Manor.

[Carissa] (think it's on Bob's side, TMO)

[Master] [Ilero]] moved 37'00".

[Master] moved him to the Manor Map for you

[TMO] ready whenever

[TMO] & thx

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Fire-building check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Carissa] (Thistle jumps in to test it)

[Master] Lisa has the list of things to have Ilero check

[Master] and then we will roll those that succeed

[Master] I have the various times mapped out now

[Master] just need to find the starting points for the two different threads

[Lisa] we ready for that?

[Master] TMO?

[Lisa] we have 21 gems

[TMO] just 21 rolls, or in batches?

[Master] This is one of the reasons that Ilero continues to earn XP as he does things around the Estate

[Master] you can just make the 21 rolls

[Master] is easy

[TMO] roger

[TMO] so much for 50% chance

[TMO] I count 5 successes?

[Master] yes

[Master] and only one of the fails would have been affected by Prayer

[Master] if you had done it at the church

[Master] Otterville Church that is

[Master] I will make a page soon for all the religious sites that Branwyn has become a patron of

[Master] to keep them all straight

[TMO] Branwyn, Benefactor of the Faithful

[Master] excellent!

[Lisa] so 5 successes out of 21 rolls?

[TMO] yes'm

[Master] yes to Lisa

[TMO] sure you don't want to hire a professional?

[Carissa] Ouch

[Lisa] okay

[Lisa] want to give values now or keep rolling down the list?

[Master] lets do values

[Master] are they all gems?

[Lisa] yes

[Lisa] last success I know was a pearl

[Master] Carissa roll 1d100 5 times please

[Lisa] other 4 are random gems

[Carissa] (1d100) [1d100=48] 48

[Carissa] (1d100) [1d100=46] 46

[Carissa] (1d100) [1d100=64] 64

[Carissa] (1d100) [1d100=25] 25

[Carissa] (1d100) [1d100=98] 98

[TMO] I hope high is good

[Carissa] lol same

[Master] 50 gp, 50 gp, 100 gp, 10 gp, and 1,000 gp

[TMO] 2bn gp gem

[Carissa] Yayyy it was!

[Lisa] nice

[Lisa] now random object time

[Lisa] magical spear

[TMO] we can pay for .085% of a glass guardian!

[Carissa] I forgot about that

[Carissa] lol TMO

[Lisa] glass guardian toe

[Carissa] Toe or just the nail?

[Lisa] toenail

[Carissa] lol

[Master] it is actually a full 1 percent

[Master] but the magical spear

[Carissa] (toenail for the big toe!)

[Master] you are looking at what? another identify?

[Master] or?

[Lisa] no appraisal

[Lisa] none of our fighters are proficient in these weapons

[Master] ahhh

[Lisa] they are gathering dust and we may need the cash

[Lisa] we can do identify if someone wants to claim them

[Master] do you know what type of magical spear it is? +1? etc.?

[Lisa] no we picked it up from the guard bossing the giants around

[Master] ok

[Lisa] I can do identify if it will help

[Lisa] no need to say this is being done today game time

[Lisa] I can push the magic weapons til later

[Lisa] Fancy chair!

[Master] it will help as if it is +1 it is worth 5,000 gp and if it is a +2 10,000

[Lisa] ok - so not even an appraisal thing

[Master] those are the rough numbers

[Master] good baselines to go off of

[Master] so yes Indigo's pick is worth 10,000 GP

[Carissa] Well damn so what's Brer's shield worth?

[Lisa] my fault - we can do other stuff first

[Carissa] Any reason to wait? We have time tonight to do things if it works out timeline wise.

[Lisa] Brer uses his though so is good

[TMO] the new shield? still has to be indentified I think

[Carissa] The one from Finny was +5

[Lisa] thought bob just told us

[Carissa] Which he gave to you so I'm assuming that means you still have it even though Finny left

[TMO] oh, missed it, sorry. I was looking up a minor thing

[Carissa] Well he didn't tell you IC :)

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] I think it was when I was rereading chats for summary

[Lisa] I want to know what the chair's worth!

[Lisa] we can go back to weapons :D

[Master] and yes if Brer were to sell that shield it would be well over 30,000 GP

[TMO] if we do still have that shield it will be a massive reversal of our usual magic item path.

[Carissa] Also that! Because I forget why we have a fancy chair but this is important

[Lisa] lol

[Master] Ilero can roll for the chair

[Lisa] It was in the pit of darkness with the leucrota

[TMO] normally it's "new character is made, takes magic item from party pack, shows up for 3 sessions, never comes back, item is lost forever"

[Carissa] Sounds like a yes, Brer has a super shield

[Lisa] on the way to dream mage

[TMO] NICE

[Carissa] Oooh okay I was thinking pit but couldn't fully remember

[Carissa] Mostly because I was out for that part of that night

TMO paints a big SB on the front of it. Super Brer

[Master] so Ilero make this roll count

[Carissa] Did we do anything with the darkness necklace?

[TMO] prayer on this one?

[Carissa] (lol)

[Carissa] Carry the chair to church

[Master] chuckles no priests here

[Lisa] we should have it in a box at home

[TMO] Foto!@

[Master] Foto in a box?

[TMO] he fits

[Carissa] Branwyn has how many churches now and there's no priest available??

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Lisa] yay!

[TMO] booya!

[Carissa] woo!

[Master] I will let Lisa roll the d100 for this

[Lisa] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=12] 12

[TMO] T'is is new. Hye never try guess value of chair before.

[Lisa] maybe I don't roll any more

[TMO] boo

[Carissa] hope we wanted low this time

[Master] is worth (1d10) [1d10=4] 4 GP

TMO dies

[Lisa] sigh

[Carissa] LOL

[TMO] glad we carried that around with us for so long

[Lisa] so it is a nice chair

[Carissa] I mean still fancy to spend that much gold on a chair

[Lisa] how about the scepter

[Carissa] which...who buys chairs with gold?

[Master] I am ready with charts and notes

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master] d100 again for that Scepter

[Lisa] not me

[TMO] which of us?

[TMO] carissa?

[Carissa] (1d100) [1d100=29] 29

[Carissa] ...or maybe not me either

[Master] (1d6) [1d6=1] 1*100

[Master] so 100 GP

[Lisa] pinchers

[Lisa] now these will be 5000 gp pinchers :)

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master] magical

[Lisa] magical?

[Lisa] didn't have that - okay

[Master] meant to be used in forges to create magical items with

[TMO] sweet

[Carissa] Ooh nice

[Master] immune to fire

[Lisa] appraising good but maybe we keep this one

[TMO] speaking of pinching, I read last night that if you hold a crab up to your ear, you can hear the sound of a crab attacking you

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] Agree

[Master] grins

[Carissa] lol

[TMO] what next?

[Lisa] scythe with the poisoned blade that we need to de-poison

[Lisa] or something

[TMO] totally off topic, do y'all remember the ship the original Star Trek crew used to travel back in time to save the whales?

[Master] a Klingon ship

[Lisa] no

[Carissa] I vaguely remember that storyline but that's all

[Master] Bird of Prey

[TMO] Bob is right, it was a Klingon Bird of Prey

[TMO] and does Bob remember who the Klingon commander they took it from was?

[Master] no

[TMO] Christopher Lloyd, aka Doc Brown from Back to the Future

[Master] that was the previous movie

[Master] yes

[TMO] that ship was the DeLorean

[Master] Nice

[Lisa] seriously?

[TMO] I'm sure not intentionally, but it all fits

[TMO] :D

[TMO] do I roll for the scythe?

[Master] yes it is not magical

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[TMO] T'is a pointy stick

[Lisa] gold plated large chest

[Carissa] with a slight curve to it

[Lisa] lol

[TMO] A crooked pointy stick

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Master] and TMO can make the d100 roll for that

[Carissa] TMO! TMO! TMO!

[TMO] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=28] 28

[TMO] woo'

[Carissa] I see you continued our streak

[Master] (1d100*6) [1d100=99] 594

[TMO] yep. a brown streak

[Carissa] lol

[Master] 594 GP

[Lisa] nice

[Lisa] and very exact

[Lisa] pair of earrings

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Master] is made of a rare wood with gold inlays a secret compartment inside

[Lisa] secret compartment? can we open it master scout?

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Thief ability - Open locks* check:(d100) [1d100=19] 19 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 45!!

[Master] yes that is how you know it is there

[Lisa] oh

[Lisa] that was from the medusa tower

[Master] I just have faith he will make his checks, grins

[Lisa] where we got all those military treatises

[TMO] locks aren't really his specialty, but he makes do

[TMO] what next?

[Lisa] Bracelet with inlaid jewels

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[TMO] He's not really interested in jewelry

[Master] It is junk

[Lisa] nobleman's dagger from the crypt - non-magical

[TMO] [Ilero]]: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Carissa] Maybe we should have stopped while we were ahead

[TMO] we started at behind with only 5 out of 21 successes on the gems. ;)

[TMO] on a 50/50 roll

[Carissa] ....stopped before we started then

[Lisa] everything else I have are weapons

[Lisa] two +1 maces

[Lisa] crossbow of speed

[Lisa] we got chain mail if other people want to clank around

[Lisa] Talwin might want a set

[Master] the two maces are worth 5,000 each

[Lisa] people need to maybe look at the Home base page

[Lisa] even if they aren't proficient they may be handy

[Lisa] +1 magic net - use in combat with humanoids

[Carissa] True

[Carissa] Oh!

[Carissa] The dagger Thistle has that Ilero got from somewhere needs ID I think?

[Lisa] bullywug magic spear

[Master] the crossbow of speed is worth 20,000

[Lisa] that poor dagger never got looked at

[TMO] I assume btw, that the +5 on the shield does not apply to shield bashes? Only to AC?

[Master] yes to TMO only defense

[Carissa] lol no it didn't and I'm drawing a blank where he got it. Somewhere with the Elves I think

[TMO] wouldn't that have been great?

[Master] the net is worth 10,000

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for Brer Necholas modified:

[Carissa] Forgot about the net. How do you even fight with it?

[Master] bullywug spear is 1,000

[Master] it is a net of entanglement

[Master] entrapment

TMO has edited Brer Necholas's effects.

[Carissa] Hmm that could be interesting

[TMO] I assume you'd have to have Net WP to use it?

[Master] the bullywug spear is short meant for small creatures

[Master] yes to TMO

[Carissa] Ah slightly less interested

[Master] so fishermen etc.

[Master] you need a new wing on the manor

[TMO] fighter types have a -2 for nonproficiency with weapons?

[Master] for all the magical weapons that no one ever uses

[Master] yes to TMO

[TMO] so, net is still useful

[Lisa] especially a -2 against a goblin

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

[TMO] I'm really not sure, but I think the Net of Entrapment is actually used by laying it out on the floor for someone to walk on.

[TMO] but I may be thinking of something else

[Master] it can be used like that

[Master] or you can throw it over someone

[TMO] so that wouldn't even require an attack roll

[Lisa] so ... I see around 10 more items to identify if we want to

[TMO] I'm here

[TMO] I have dice

[Carissa] Can we do the dagger? Notes say it was actually from previous Skull Church trip

[Lisa] do we need identify on the crossbow of speed?

[Master] no

[Carissa] Mostly because Thistle may or may not need a magical weapon

[Master] that was listed up earlier

[Lisa] so 9 items

[Master] 20,000 gp

[Lisa] yes I just need to look up what it does except shoot fast?

[TMO] I think that's it

[Master] exactly

[TMO] plinkplinkplink

[Master] normal crossbows are every other round

[Lisa] automatic loading

[Master] this is every round

[Lisa] ok

[Lisa] so identify again

[Master] is this two more days?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Identify: I identify (12) 12 functions with a 90% chance of success. 91-95 = nothing; 96-00 = false read. NOTE: Not available.

[TMO] I think these aren't before the group goes back to Skull Church, since Bran is staying here (I think?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Thistle dagger)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes)

[Master] yes just making sure to track who is where along the time line

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=90] 90

[Carissa] wow

[TMO] ah, ok. I thought you were asking if we were pushing back the group returning to Skull

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (they can stay a couple days)

[TMO] we don't want to leave that long

[Master] 5 days from leaving till return

[Master] with identified items

[Master] while Branwyn stays and works with Ilero on more items

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I had room for Thistle's dagger in the first cast)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so squeaked that roll in)

[Master] OK, so that dagger is a +1

[Carissa] (yay magic!)

[TMO] yay

[TMO] !

[Branwyn (Lisa)] human-size magic chain mail

[Carissa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Thistle modified: Weapons - CHANGED: Mystery Dagger -- Magical Adj: 1 (0), CHANGED: Mystery Dagger, coated -- Magical Adj: 1 (0),

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=15] 15

[TMO] oh, Bob - Brer is definitely going to sit down with that shield and make sure there's no taint of evil in its construction or intent. Not bathed in the blood of the innocent or anything like that. ;) Something he can consecrate t his mission.

[Master] Chain Mail of floating - it does not count as metal when immersed in water

[Branwyn (Lisa)] sweet

[Carissa] Ooh nice for whoever can wear it!

[Carissa] And swim

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Spear - magical - guard at road w/ giants

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=62] 62

[Master] Spear of Healing

[Carissa] Go on...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] what????

[TMO] Stab them to heal them

[Carissa] So... like a vaccine?

[Master] damage done with the spear heals the wielder

[Branwyn (Lisa)] we had a spear of healing?

[Carissa] Oh more like a vampire

[TMO] does 1d6 damage and 1d6 healing.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] do they have to be proficient?

[Master] yes to TMO and no to Lisa

[TMO] oh, to the wielder

[Branwyn (Lisa)] but have to be able to hit with it

[Carissa] Worth holding on to that

[TMO] I was saying to the victim.

[TMO] ;)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Broad sword - magical - Leucrota

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=13] 13

[Carissa] "I'm wounded. Brer, you have lots of health. Let me stab you a few times so I can heal"

[TMO] NO

[Carissa] lol

[Master] +2 Broad Sword

[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Large shield - magical - Leucrota

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=54] 54

[Master] +1 shield of arrow attracting

[Branwyn (Lisa)] that could save us some cash on arrows

[Master] lol

[Carissa] lol that's one way to think of it

[Carissa] just don't hold it near Shi :)

[TMO] used on the battlements to resupply your cache

[Branwyn (Lisa)] and we have 4 untested potions

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=38] 38

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=81] 81

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=7] 7

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=96] 96

[Branwyn (Lisa)] damn - missed one

[Branwyn (Lisa)] last one is a false read

[Carissa] At least you did better than 5/21 ;)

[Master] Potion of Giant Control, Frost Giants

[Branwyn (Lisa)] but with potions this can get interesting

[Master] Potion of Climbing

[Branwyn (Lisa)] we don't know which of what bob is typing is a fake

[Master] Oil of Elemental Invulnerability

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Giant, sit down and be nice!

[Master] Potion of Rainbow Hues

[Carissa] That one! I think it's that one.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] *clunk* as his club smashes your skull

[Master] Elixir of Madness

[Carissa] Four or Five?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I only have 4 potions

[TMO] you tested that Madness one, and a fifth appeared

[Master] NOW you get to roll a d5

[Carissa] ...maybe it's that other falsely ID potion?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] is there a d5?

[Carissa] lol TMO

[Master] grins to make it very confusing on which of the four it might be

[TMO] [1d5]

[TMO] (1d5) [1d5=5] 54

[Master] (1d5) [1d5=5] 5

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (d5) [1d5=2] 2

[Master] there you go

[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol

[Master] so TMO got the 5

[TMO] sorry

[Master] so that removes the Elixir of Madness

[Branwyn (Lisa)] drat I liked that one

[TMO] golly gee gosh, I am SO sorrrrry

[Carissa] Awwwwwww

[TMO] here, have some absinthe

[Carissa] Can't we take Lisa's? We've done Climbing potions already

[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] one of those 4 is a fake still? I'm confused

[Master] yes one of those 4 is a fake

[Branwyn (Lisa)] ok

[Branwyn (Lisa)] so appraising some of these weapons now we know what they are?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] broad sword?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] +2

[Master] 8000

[Lisa] everything else we would keep anyway?

[Lisa] we have +3 plate

[Lisa] but thinking our new knight may want

[Lisa] swimming chain mail and healing spear are probably keepers

[Carissa] agree

[Lisa] not sure about large shield

[Lisa] most of our fighters need both hands and don't do shields

[Carissa] Who else uses shields? Brer's set

[Lisa] doesn't hurt to know what it's worth

[Carissa] Agree. I meant that I don't know if we have reason to keep it.

[Lisa] I'm not sure who would use it

[Lisa] and I think that's it

[Lisa] I'll update the party pack over the weekend

[TMO] shweetness

[Master] I will post a calendar update of where people are in the time line etc.

[Carissa] Thanks. It'll be easier to see it all once it's written down. I'm already losing track :)

[Master] it will all be gathered up on the Claiming Skull Church page

[Carissa] Branwyn will be at Dragon Fen for awhile, right?

[Lisa] yes

[TMO] I wonder if Brer would have lost his levels if I'd realized that shield was really +5? I just updated his character now with the different AC

[Carissa] Cool. Whenever Shi actually comes back, she won't be going anywhere until she talks to Branwyn. Just an FYI :)

[Lisa] the goal is to train Howard first and then learn more spells

[Lisa] good - I hope so!

[Lisa] work on the estate

[Carissa] lol they need that closure. it'll be good. hoping for a writing marathon this week, but we'll see how it goes

[Lisa] I want a strip mall

[Lisa] not literally

[Carissa] I dunno strip malls don't seem to have a long lifespan

[TMO] Brer would not approve of a stripper mall

[Lisa] but we have some medium buildings and I was thinking of putting in trade stuff

[Carissa] Could be good. I'm never really sure what is/can be put? Or never have ideas. But trade stuff of some sort might be nice

[Carissa] Maybe we could trade some of these less used items for ones we'd actually use of similar value? Or something.

[Carissa] ....it's late

[TMO] :)

[Lisa] yes

[Carissa] Ignore my rambles

[TMO] never

[Master] smiles

[Carissa] lol well don't try to make sense of them at least

[TMO] a ramble thru the bramble is always fun

[Carissa] probably what that madness potion is like

[Lisa] lol

[Master] just a taste of madness

[Carissa] lol

[Carissa] And I'm not sure about summary? It was more planning stuff. Maybe Michael would be up to it again? I'll ask tomorrow on Player COmm

[TMO] so, Bob, are you planning more adventures over the next 3-4 months of game time, or is it going to be just clicking off and bit RP sessions?

[Lisa] Think I will head out

[Carissa] Feel they have a better grip on that than me

[Lisa] Maybe Lara?

[Carissa] Yes was also thinking maybe Lara

[Lisa] Lara had agreed last week and I missed that and recruited Michael

[Master] lots of small adventures

[Carissa] Ahh then I'll ask Lara first

[Lisa] thanks

[Master] when you go out into the Wastes to look for a potential mine

[TMO] ok, so I don't need to come up with a replacement PC concept just yet then

[Master] gnomes needing help

[Master] Hourglass

[Master] Goblins

[TMO] definitely Hourglass

[Master] lots of little things

[TMO] that sounds interesting

[TMO] what level would a new PC be at for me now that Brer is down to 6th?

[TMO] 3? 4?

[Carissa] Aww but we're still getting to know him!

[Master] next spring I have a more extensive one for everyone to explore

[TMO] oh, I'm not in a rush to get rid of him

[TMO] that's why I was asking if there were more adventures

[Lisa] Hah! Always more adventures

[Master] I am thinking Brer will be around through at least March or more

[Carissa] You had Ilero for how long? So by default Brer need to be around for at least half that amount of years

[TMO] OOC we'll have him for a while. IC, he has a mission he must work on

[TMO] hehe

[Lisa] we can help with that

[TMO] you may not want to. ;)

[Lisa] you don't want Thistle tagging along on the paladin mission?

[Carissa] I mean if it means less of Sundown.... ;)

[TMO] but it's an IC conversation

[Carissa] She's fire-resistant now! She's useful!

[Lisa] Hey - I want everyone to go to hell. How bad can yours be?

[TMO] *chuckle*

[Carissa] He probably wants to go to Heaven. Might be nicer.

[Lisa] lol

[Lisa] I hope so

[TMO] that's true, I'd forgotten You going to try and do that while there's a paladin handy?

[Master] If I have my planning down the Birthday Game 2021 will involve the trip to Hell

[TMO] oo, that's after March

[Lisa] ehhh now we're in the Mist the hell trip is no rush

[Carissa] Was going to say anything can happen, but don't want to jinx it. 2020 after all.

[Master] On Sunday I will try to put in the anchor links in the chat

[Carissa] Anchor links?

[Master] on the Claiming Skull Church page there are sections, each night we tackle bits of each one

[Carissa] Ahh guess I haven't looked as carefully at that page yet

[Master] so when you click on the chat link from that section it takes you to that portion of the chat

[Lisa] I need to take off - feeling very sleepy. Sorry

[Master] or at least it till be

[Master] have a great night

[Carissa] Nah it's late

[TMO] sure thing

[Carissa] Night all!

[TMO] g'nite y'all

[Lisa] Goodnight
