Spring has received the map New Manor.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] Hello there!
[Master] Saw your posts, thank you
[Spring] hi hehehe
[Master] I am holding off on the sending that messenger
[Spring] i just put a ps on baron ulgin's message
[Master] becuase if they go off across the Wastes on their own they will die
[Spring] oh heck
[Master] BUT they can go by road and make it there
[Master] So it is possible
[Spring] i reallly wanna stop pete from diong something really stupid
[Master] yes
[Master] It is just under 50 miles from Dragon Fen Manor around the long way by road to Skull Church
[Master] at 24 miles per day so two days
[Spring] i think snee is dismayed to find that her evening prayers include asking for a nice non-fatal poz upon her colleague
[Spring] *pox
[Master] It is 13 miles from Travelers Way to Skull Church
[Spring] ugh
[Spring] almost as well to take it there herself
[Master] 18 total from the Manor House
[Master] this is why I wanted you to know options
[Master] and your next construction project to finance is that 13 mile roadway
[Spring] oh fun
[Master] which will cut the distance from 50 to 18 miles
[Spring] we're gonna have to invent sales tax aren't we?
[Master] Oh there are lots of taxes, I have two articles here to put up on the site after I reformat them
[Master] now that this is all happening
[Spring] oh heck
[Spring] we don't want -lots- of taxes
[Master] chuckles, you get to pick and choose
[Spring] need to devise a scheme with the wheelwritghts. a lousy road is money in their pockets. might have to help them invent a better wheel for after the roads improve
[Master] Snee the magnanimous only charges pilgrims a 1 silver piece tax to visit the cathedral if you bring your own candles home made by your own loving hands, or we will charge you 5 silver and we will provide you with candles
[Spring] i like it
[Master] so lots of those sorts of things over the course of the next couple of months
[Master] my first/next bit of writing though it about the Cathedreal and the Kiputytto faith
[Spring] gotta make it plain that it's Pete and Baron providing cancles though
[Spring] damn heathens
[Master] chuckles
[Master] we will do more with that too
[Master] roleplay more of how these two balance each other
[Master] especially with Branwyn's adversity to religion but sponsoring every church she sees
[Spring] "Dear Alcim, these awful heathens are engaging in idolatry, but I know you love all beings. please bless them with boils and pus so they'll be happy. amen"
[Spring] i keep misspelling aclim
[Master] you saw I updated the constuction costs and times
[Spring] indeed i did
[Master] so you can choose what to do first etc.
[Master] Lara will not be in tonight by the way
[Spring] aw :-(
[Master] It will be cheap to tackle the moat and build the replacement residence near the church
[Master] but for food, etc. you will need to build housing for farmers, etc.
[Master] so obviously up to you which order to go in
[Master] but it seems those two work best first, then decide what and how, to move forward with your own residence and church and farmer's homes, etc.
[Master] and mines
[Master] and goblins
[Master] and and and
[Master] This is not all on your head
[Master] but you get to guide everyone for the next while
[Spring] we are on the hook for skull church and the village first. then should come whatever the farmers need, then the governerors stuff

[Spring] hi TMO!
[TMO] hola!
[Master] the village can actually wait, the goblins and mine are more important
[Master] and Hello TMO
[Master] no one is really living in the village now
[TMO (to Master only)] is the book you were referring to Demons II by Role Aid?
[Spring] that's a huge problem
[Spring] all the craftspeople are in tents and stuff, that's no good
[Master] no to TMO will check on the name, but I have that too
[Master] yes to Spring but a new residence up by the church will fix that
[TMO] k, that was the only one I could find, but there don't seem to be a lot of details in it
[Master] plus no goblins
[Spring] ok, i see the beneift of getting the goblins out of the way before we start shoring up the populace
[Spring] but afte that, the populace comes first
[Spring] wealth flows upward
[Spring] how you doing TMO?

[Spring] hi Lisa!
[Spring] i'm already tipsy, i got started early
[TMO] worked from home today because 3 people in my office tested positive. I wasn't exposed to any f them. In fact, I believe at least one of them was exposed at home and never came into the office at all, because it was their week to work from home. But the offices were closed today for a thorough cleaning.
[Lisa] Hi Spring!
[TMO] and I voted early
[Spring] whew
[Spring] hey, i voted today!
[Lisa] Eek TMO!
[TMO] since I was here during the day, I could do thgat
[Lisa] Glad you weren't exposed
[TMO] but i'm back in the office full time again on Monday
[Master] Thank you for Voting
[Spring] ugh
[Spring] they should let you keep on working from home
[Spring] the weeners
[TMO] my mother-in-law was part of a political bus trip this last week, tripped and fell and broke her kneecap.
[Spring] oh noes!
[Lisa] ahhh
[Spring] my kneecap just screamed in sympathy
[TMO] my father-in-law flew out to help her come home. He can barely walk sometimes, so I'm not entirely sure who is helping whom the most
[TMO] they'll get home tonight
[TMO] my sister-in-law drove to Dallas yesterday, so we're taking care of the dogs, because we're available.
[TMO] I don't believe we were ever actually ASKED if we could or would
[Master] chuckles
[Spring] ehehehe
[Master] brb getting wine
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Spring] that's kind of like the major reason i am in MC. so i can sit the kids' dog if they go somewhere
[Spring] NC i mean
[TMO] it was something along the lines of "We're going to Dallas this weekend. Riley has to be at the vet at 5 for his shots. And he'll need to be let out at night and in the morning. And move his kennel to the parent's house for them to take care of when they get home"
[Spring] hahahaha
[TMO] MC?
[Spring] just kind of assumed
[Spring] i mean North Carolina but typoed
[TMO] well, the whole world does revolve around her, didn't you know that?
[TMO] ah
[Spring] i ran out of diet coke and need to go to the drink machine
[Spring] brb
[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.
[TMO (to Master only)] I'll look for those
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] So if you saw TMO and Lisa Spring and I talked about some of the issues of communicatino
[Master] that center of the Wastes is still wild, goblins, etc. so sending a messenger across that on their own will not work
[Lisa] If only Shi and Fete were here ... :(
[Lisa] You took the beetle butt acid!! :D
[Master] TMO was there anything that you wanted to take along for Brer to use in the Church?
[TMO] Branwyn said there were some things she wanted to send with him, but we never got to that part of the conversation. Otherwise I don't know that anything applies.

Carissa has received the map New Manor.
[TMO] especially since the church isn't going to officially be part of Dragon Fen, taking their treasures to a vulnerable location in the wilderness isn't a smart idea
[Master] It is going to be part of Dragon Fen
[Carissa] I feel like I was summoned....
[Master] that is what a Protectorate is
[TMO] oh, that's right
[Master] grins
[TMO] my bad
[Master] and the 50 miles away means 2 days to get back and forth OR travel through the wilderness
[TMO] left over memory from the confusing days
[Master] yes
[Master] How are you Carissa? How did the visit go today?
[Carissa] Easy. Think they learned from their mistake. Got ramen for lunch which made this rainy, cold day better.
[Carissa] Been on the edge of a migrane, but it's held off.
[Master] good better and good
[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.
[Spring] the drinks machine is sold out!
[Lisa] Hi Carissa!
[Spring] the bastards!
[TMO] eeeek!
[Carissa] Hi!
[Spring] i Carissa!
[Master] ouch
[Lisa] Oh no Spring
[Spring] i'm just gonna have to gradually become sober!
[Spring] thge exact opposite of the usual
[TMO] NO
[Master] and also Spring I have a compromise for you
[Master] Pete was mentioned about coming to the Manor House
[Master] so he could be here to talk with and you can deliver the letter to him there,
[Master] or a page can from your church to the Boarding House
[Spring] oh good
[Master] Which also means you can have the direct conversation with him here at the Manor
[Spring] i just have this feeling that he's ordred the glass golemns already
[TMO] lol
[Master] While Branwyn is working in her lab
[Lisa] where do I post in Home Stories? I finally finished to fill in Nevin and Jilly speech but don't know where to put it
[TMO] he's going to be sadly disappointed
[Master] you have 3 days
[Lisa] anyone who would build 300K golems without a down payment deserves what he gets
[Spring] i don't want his mouth making promises his ass can't back up
[Carissa] lol
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HS-IC3
[Master] there you go Lisa
[Master] So we are all at the Manor House for now
[Master] Pete moved 1'08".
[Master] Pete targets Thistle. Distance: 5'11"
[Spring] oh and Lisa, the beetle butt acid looks practical
[Master] the 16th was the talking yesterday morning then everyone gets to organize and get back to normal
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.ClaimingSkullChurch
[Master] time line there
[Master] we pick up now on the morning of the 17th with Branwyn off doing her things
[Carissa] (sorry momentary distraction; visiting Biden's island on Animal Crossing. I'm impressed and sad his island looks better than mine....)
[Master] youhave the 17th, 18th adn 19th to gather things
[Lisa] Oh yes Spring! I was looking at it before but didn't say anything so was happy you took it! :)
[Lisa] posted but messed up the page jumpy thing
[Carissa] can fix that easy enoughy
[Master] I will go fix as the four of you disucss supplies
[Lisa] maybe because I didn't title the post
[Carissa] Nah just missing the anchor. No worries
[Spring] so i guess i put everything in the room scroll and shut it down until i have a place to unload
[Lisa] thank you!
[Spring] the administrative stuff is weird
[Master] and fixed the Carissa and BOB cross posting/saving too
[Spring] i wrote letters today
[Lisa] smiles
[Lisa] someone on one of my other servers posted this - thought it was cute
[Lisa] so I thought of a character class for an RPG, Emotional Support Bard. not necessarily music based but like right before the battle he gives you a latte and there's no magic in the latte but the act of kindness makes you feel good and you get advantage for the fight. Or he walks in, slightly adjusts your costume and then compliments your appearance and you now have higher defence
[Master] smiels
[Spring] i like it
[Master] Lanek moved 10'05".
[TMO] :)
[Spring] if female, Girl Got Your Back
[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 30'08".
[Lisa] yes!
[Master] Steward Nevin Ognorn moved 17'03".
[Master] Jilly moved 11'04".
[Master] Snezana moved 20'07".
[Master] Nanny Gothhawk moved 13'05".
[Master] Thistle moved 3'07".
[Master] Howard Plum moved 24'07".
[Master] Lord Tiberius moved 10'01".
[Master] Brer Necholas moved 2'00".
[Master] Emerald moved 11'00".
[Master] Sundown moved 29'11".
[Carissa] love it
[Master] So in the Manor hall are the group of people that currently are putting together things,
[Master] only Talwin is back at the Church with Baron Ulgin
[Spring] i'm pretty sure Lanek is gonna go back to the guild
[Spring] his gig is up
[Master] Yes he is ovff in the other room where those are off someplace else
Branwyn (Lisa) cries softly
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] What happened?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I miss Lanek!
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Ahhh
[Thistle (Carissa)] Why?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have grown used to his presence
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] You could talk to Ilero
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe he would like to babysit the children some time
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I liked Lanek because he made me laugh and he says what he thinks
[Thistle (Carissa)] I dunno. He was kinda grumpy.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps. But you can always count him. Ilero is quite fortunate to have him
Thistle (Carissa) shrugs, "I suppose"
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Just as we are fortunate to have you Thistle even when you are grumpy.
[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm not grumpy! I'm mature!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And I will miss you when you go back out again
[Thistle (Carissa)] Well it's not like I'll be far
[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm not going back to Ghostwood or nothin
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And if you are mature then that makes Lanek ... as old as dirt?
[Thistle (Carissa)] Exactly!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And you are certainly not going back to Ghostwood - at least not without a proper escort
[Thistle (Carissa)] Well I don't wanna go back so that's that
Branwyn (Lisa) nods and smiles
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Necholas, I brought the things I wanted to give you for the church.
Branwyn (Lisa) hands him the prayer book and the doll with the black spot on her leg
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
Brer Necholas (TMO) reaches out and takes them.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (kiputytto prayer book)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Thank you.
[Thistle (Carissa)] (brb)
Brer Necholas (TMO) leafs through the book to see what it is.
[Carissa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am sure Baron Ulgin shall be pleased
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe that will make up for us destroying my statue
Branwyn (Lisa) grins
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] me nods and closes the book. "I'm sure he will be." He grins, "I'll let you know when you need to come pose for the replacement statue."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You may say that the Lady did not want to see me without my head. It was taking things a bit too far
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
[Snezana (Spring)] didn't you also want to give him the church rolls?
[Snezana (Spring)] ("Book listing parishioners who have been in the church over the last year")
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh yes. Nevin, can you please give Necholas the parishioner book for me?
[Snezana (Spring)] i get the feeling credit for attendance is important to them
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It will let you know what to expect. It is a good thing
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] No doubt. It's been the beacon of civilization in a dangerous wasteland for them for so long now.
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Master only)] Wu Sen said he had letters to people - did he write any for anyone here who's about to leave?
[Master (to Lisa only)] no, I will post those to the site
[Snezana (Spring)] the other journal
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Master only)] ok thanks!
[Snezana (Spring)] the one about how the moat was made. i'd like to use it to inform me on how to work with the goblins
[Snezana (Spring)] the insider knowledge, not the tactics. i don't want them dying on the job
Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "Thank you.:"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Certainly. That as well, Nevin please!
[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi Michael!)
[Snezana (Spring)] (hi michael!)
[mharm-05997] 69.65.75.109
[Master] chuckiles
mharm-05997 has received the map New Manor.
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Hi Michael)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (hi)
[mharm-05997] (Hey all. Sorry late. What can I do to help?)
[Master] relax Michael
[Snezana (Spring)] (we are all chilling and gathering whatever we need for the trip back to the wstes)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ummm ... deliver some soda to Spring in North Carolina?)
[Master] Grins
[Snezana (Spring)] (yes)
[Master] so that would be most appreciated I think
[Snezana (Spring)] (i am out of diet coke and too tipsy to drive)
[Snezana (Spring)] (and the drinks machine is sold out)
[mharm-05997] (Sure. Just let me get my teleporter. Make sure no flies are near the exit point...)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)
[Master] HAH
[Snezana (Spring)] (i think it's too late for instacard. maybe i could get dominos pizza to bring it)
[Master] or you will end up in a debate
[Snezana (Spring)] (*instacart)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[mharm-05997] lol
[Master] yes Dominos etc will deliver sodas with food
[mharm-05997] Doordash can be persuaded
[Snezana (Spring)] (except i don't need food)
[mharm-05997] they will go to conveneince store
[Snezana (Spring)] (or even want it, i had Bojangles for supper)
[Master] tomorrow?
[Master] I often order food for a night then have the second half in the morning
[Master] grins
[Snezana (Spring)] (hmmmm i uninstalled doordash for being freaking expensive, but maybe i'll bend .....)
[Snezana (Spring)] (i did that with pizza last week. but this week my fridge is 100% full
[Master] but so you have some things on your Supply Page
[Snezana (Spring)] (yay we do!)
[Master] Michael check that for if there is anything you want to add to that
[Master] even without Talwin being at the Manor
[Snezana (Spring)] (i tried to choose the most practical things, but we could add more)
[Master] but when Snee wants to talk Pete has come down for breakfast
[Snezana (Spring)] pete! how are you feeling?
[Pete (Master)] Hello
[Pete (Master)] I am happy to be here, it is good to have a solid good bed
[Snezana (Spring)] oh good, so pleased
[Pete (Master)] My wife likes it too
[Pete (Master)] she was very happy
[Pete (Master)] thank you for having us Countess
[Pete (Master)] and Governor... ess?
[Snezana (Spring)] governor or Aunt Snee is fine
[Snezana (Spring)] thanks
[Pete (Master)] Governor it is
[Snezana (Spring)] yesterday i wrote you a letter, not realizing you would be here. so i get to tell you instead of sending it
[Snezana (Spring)] i had the strangest dream night before last
[Pete (Master)] (sorry brb, Nyrma is calling, continue I will respond soon)
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Snezana (Spring)] (lol)
[mharm-05997] ((Sorry. I'm jhere, just adjusting to the new comp)
[Snezana (Spring)] i dreamed that you ordered the new windows for your church, the ones with the glass golems in them.
[Snezana (Spring)] but due to a misunderstanding, you had assured the makers that Dragon Fen had committed to paying for them.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Pete (Master)] OH can I?
[Snezana (Spring)] when i woke up, i didn't know if the dream was a mere worry or a prophecy
[Pete (Master)] That would be wonderful
[Snezana (Spring)] it would be a wonderful fiction
[Snezana (Spring)] the reality is that Dragon Fen cannot do that
[Snezana (Spring)] firstly, that it is a new estate and hasn't got the wealth
[Pete (Master)] Certainly the Countess is powerful enough
[Snezana (Spring)] secondly that Dragon Fen already has a church in its care
[Snezana (Spring)] however
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKb61j8P4fU
[Snezana (Spring)] there is a path to make this aspiration come true, and as governor, i want to help all the businesses and craftspeople and organizations realize their aspirations
[Snezana (Spring)] i have been entrusted to make small loans and grants. more importantly, i can help negotiate profitable relationships
[Pete (Master)] That would be wonderful,
[Snezana (Spring)] i really do want to help make those windows a reality. it's simply toing to take time and working together.
[Snezana (Spring)] *going
[Pete (Master)] with a loan we can move the Cathedreal along so much faster
[Snezana (Spring)] the key word is "small"
[Snezana (Spring)] we'll need to identify the ways we can help your parishoners feel more comfortable about their tithing and donations
[Snezana (Spring)] and also help the public feel good about donating
[Pete (Master)] You will have to talk with Baron Ulgin about that,
[Snezana (Spring)] i plan to!
[Pete (Master)] I am not part of the worshipers
[Pete (Master)] I am only worried about the magnificent building
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Oh?
[mharm-05997] (Alright. I'm back. Will check the site at the same time. Also please tell Pete this isn't a debter society. We'd like to keep at the very least a "Balanced Budget" or something that was supposed to be kept...)
[Pete (Master)] and bringing it back to its full glory
[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe you should... bring the rest around it to glory first?
[Snezana (Spring)] i can understand your point of view
[Pete (Master)] The rst?
[Pete (Master)] rest?
[Thistle (Carissa)] I mean kinda sad when a pretty church is surrounded by shacks. Or nothing.
[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm not sure you know, but I'm not a priest BUT ya know, looks bad to me
[Snezana (Spring)] as the people become more prosperous, they will give more to the church, i am sure
[Pete (Master)] The Cathedral should have nothing around it, I am very happy that the Govnernor has chosen to get rid of that horrible moat
[Pete (Master)] it is totally out of character for the setting
Snezana (Spring) nods
[Thistle (Carissa)] Doom and gloom?
[Snezana (Spring)] and the cathedral needs to be accessible to its people
[Pete (Master)] there is a reason for it to be a singular structure on top of the hill
[Pete (Master)] Baron Ulgin has made me see how the new pit in the front can be useful for his flock
[Thistle (Carissa)] Sure sure but don't you want people living kinda close? Like downhill? You don't want it shabby, do you?
[Thistle (Carissa)] Wait you're gettintg sheep too??
[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh man the wolves would love that!... Errr....
[Pete (Master)] there has always been a caretakers residence
[Pete (Master)] and you will be able to live there Governor
[Pete (Master)] and make sure that you are available to us
[Snezana (Spring)] alas, i'll be on the edge of the town of Hourglass
[Pete (Master)] OH
[Pete (Master)] you want to live in a tent?
[Pete (Master)] are you an asthitic?
[Snezana (Spring)] until the shrine is finished, i will be
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Ascetic?
[Snezana (Spring)] and the governers qwuarters
[Snezana (Spring)] (holy crap)
[Pete (Master)] Is that what you call someone who lives in the wilderness with no support?
[Snezana (Spring)] and the governors quarters
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I think so
[Thistle (Carissa)] Says who? She'd have support.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hermit?)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I think the plan is to rebuild Hourglass into a full livable village.
[Snezana (Spring)] indeed
[Pete (Master)] That would be very interesting
Pete (Master) hmmmm
[Snezana (Spring)] it needs to be cured of its issues
[Pete (Master)] (obviously getting lost in thought about ideas of rebuilding)
[Snezana (Spring)] and then the craftspeople and tradespeople can return
[Pete (Master)] oooooo
[Pete (Master)] we could build a masonary
[Snezana (Spring)] and we can support the trade route
[Pete (Master)] for the stone workers
[Pete (Master)] and a carpentry shop
[Pete (Master)] and a place for artists carvers, scupltures
[Snezana (Spring)] i believe just getting started will create an avalanche of opportunity
[Pete (Master)] that would be wonderful
[mharm-05997] (Is smelter for metalworking?)
Pete (Master) There is a whole forest here
[Thistle (Carissa)] Whoa whoa whoa. Don't we have to get rid of the moat first?
[Thistle (Carissa)] HEY NO
[Snezana (Spring)] the moat is first, yes
[Thistle (Carissa)] NO TOUCHY THE FOREST
[Pete (Master)] we can rebuild every pew
[mharm-05997] (Also, do you want me to roll for that?)
[mharm-05997] (The Fires of Isengard no no bounds Thistle...Burn it.)
[mharm-05997] (know no)
[mharm-05997] lol
[Pete (Master)] (grins at Michael no need to roll, )
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (that's a no-no!
[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah they can just sit on stone floor!
[Snezana (Spring)] aren't the pews in pretty good shape though?
[Pete (Master)] Well most of them are
[Pete (Master)] I had them built first
[Pete (Master)] but then someone..... used them for other than sitting
[Pete (Master)] so there are some that need to be replaced
[Thistle (Carissa)] That's fine. They can sit on stone or you can get wood from elsewhere. But you go near that forest? You're done, mister.
[Pete (Master)] and perhaps the balcony could be redone
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Well, I'm sure those villains are properly ashamed of their behavior.
[Thistle (Carissa)] Wait... used them for something other than sitting? So standing?
Pete (Master) looks at Thistle, Maybe you were the one who piled them in front of the doors?
[Pete (Master)] Do you have any skills?
[Snezana (Spring)] that shouldn't have destroyed them, though?
[Pete (Master)] Maybe I can put you to work
[Thistle (Carissa)] Do I look strong enough to do that?
[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm not for you to hire!
[Thistle (Carissa)] I "help" them because I like them. But you? I'm not liking you.
Pete (Master) nods, I have several apprentices I can make you one of them
Thistle (Carissa) flips him a rude gesture
[Pete (Master)] You look like you can climb up
[Pete (Master)] you are not scared of heights are you?
[Thistle (Carissa)] If I were scared of heights, I wouldn't live in a treehouse. DUH. But I'm still NOT working for you. What don't you get about no??
[Thistle (Carissa)] No golem. No grand schemes. No making me "your" worker.
[mharm-05997] (I do beleive it's the word "No")
[Thistle (Carissa)] (llol)
[Snezana (Spring)] i think we'll find plenty of workers
[Snezana (Spring)] no need to recruit here :-)
Thistle (Carissa) points to Snee, "Snee is nice to me. I help her. You can find someone else to like you and help you."
[Pete (Master)] If you need work you will come to me
[Thistle (Carissa)] Nope
[Pete (Master)] everyone needs to pull their own weight
[Pete (Master)] My wife cooks for our workers,
[Thistle (Carissa)] If the Governess wants me to help her, I'll help her. You aren't the boss of me.
[Thistle (Carissa)] Why's everyone think I can cook?? Maybe I'll start serving sticks so you stop thinking I can cook.
[Pete (Master)] The Countess or the Governor will be the one to tell you I am certain
[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah and she knows I don't like you. So she'll let me do other things. Like not help you.
[Pete (Master)] I am happy to listen to my patron
[Snezana (Spring)] i'm fairly sure Thistle is the Countess' ward. so if there are any work assignments or education plans or whatever, they'll come from that direction
[Thistle (Carissa)] /me whispers to Snee, "He's a weird one and I don't like him."
[mharm-05997] I am back at the keyboard.
[Pete (Master)] Oh her ward
[Pete (Master)] I am sorry
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (What is Pete's title again? I'm sure Talwin can stick up for you as a Knight?)
[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah you should be!
Thistle (Carissa) whiuspers again, "What's a ward?"
Snezana (Spring) whispers to Thistle "that's okay, not everybody likes everybody"
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Get him off your back maybe? We know you can help elsewhere)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] :)
[Master] Pete is only the architect but Talwin is not here
[Thistle (Carissa)] (but noted for when they return, lol)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Rats. Sorry. Thought this was there)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] So, Pete, short term, what do you think should be repaired or fixed first?
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (My bad)
[Snezana (Spring)] "a ward is a young person that a grown person is responsible for, but not their parent"
[Thistle (Carissa)] Oooohhhhhhhh
[Master] Honored Knight, I think that removing the Moat is the most important thing
[Thistle (Carissa)] Am I? Huh. Well if it makes him back off...
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (..Is he talking to me now? I'm sorry bob(
Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles. "I'm not a knight, but thank you."
[Pete (Master)] You are!
[Pete (Master)] By divine right you are
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (LOL> Congrats TMO! You got promoted!)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I'm so proud of you!!!)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I surrendered any titles I had any claim to long ago to serve my mission.
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Honorary Knight?)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Surely that's not against the rules...)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Some of French clergy were also knights you know...)
[Pete (Master)] I am certain that the Countess values you
[Pete (Master)] You were there when I saw her there
Brer Necholas (TMO) tilts his head slightly. "Perhaps. I hope my visit has been useful for her."
[Pete (Master)] I will visit the many villages here in Dragon Fen to find supplies
[Pete (Master)] I will have the bills sent to the Countess? or to you Governor?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'll go with you if it will help.
[Thistle (Carissa)] Don't you need them approved before you buy things?
[Snezana (Spring)] to me, but only for supplies that have been pre-authorized. like the oil
[Pete (Master)] are there any other supplies that are authorized?
[Snezana (Spring)] not presently, but you are welcome to submitrequests
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Speaking of supplies. Check Discord. I don't have anything aprticular to add, but perhaps some extra building materials?)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Maybe some healing supplies? Since rebuilding can be dangeroius work?_)
[Snezana (Spring)] :-)
[Snezana (Spring)] ultimately, the church will need to be self-supporting, but we can help you get started anyway
[Pete (Master)] That is a conversation for Baron Ulgin
[Snezana (Spring)] correct!
[Snezana (Spring)] between yourself and baron ulgin
[Pete (Master)] Oh no
[Pete (Master)] He is in charge of the worshipers
[Pete (Master)] I am only interested in the rebuilding of the cathedral
[Snezana (Spring)] indeed. from whom the money will come to finance your dreams
Pete (Master) frowns
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Quid pro Quo. You help with getting profitable, you get your dream house, er, mansion, er, make that Chapel)
[Snezana (Spring)] my job is to help raise the tide that flots all boats, so to speak
[Pete (Master)] I am not happy with water
[Pete (Master)] it is not good for building
[Snezana (Spring)] the more prosperous the populace, the more they can donate to the church, the more you get to build
[Snezana (Spring)] and on and on
[Snezana (Spring)] but first hte church has to be accessible to the populace so that they can belong. hence the moat and bridge efforts
[Pete (Master)] I will work on that
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'll stick around to help out for a while.
[Snezana (Spring)] then there can be committees and events and fundtraisers (baron ulgin, yes, i know) and more money and more building
[Master] chuckles very nicely done Spring
[Master] is there anything else to work with ? or people to work with?
[Spring] heh thanks
[Master] want to make sure you have your pile of supplies so we can work out how to get it back to the Protectorate
[Master] and the infamous wagon with horses
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (At this point, charter an Airship. Just get it to us quickly and painlessly :) )
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (stuff it all in the Room)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (This game had convinced me to never get a wagon.)
[Master] LOL
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Spring] (i have reason to know how much building materials you can get into a 10x10 room)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Remember, there are stuff in there like beds_
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Also, who know's what happens if the scroll is destroyed)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but now the only thing you have to worry about is goblin attacks - no more undead or griffons)
[Spring] (that too)
[Master] HAH Spring
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Please don' tsay that lisa...)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (maybe miss immune to fire can hold on to the scroll?)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (well you should be worried about goblin attacks - we have had a goblin encounter every time we have approached skull church)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not you Michael - you are already there safe and sound :) )
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Hehe)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (See what good it will do me! :) )
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Been waiting for the other shoe to drop don't you iknow)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (we'll see if you're still there when we get back)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Well, Heroic Fray will apply)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Not much of us here)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (sorry brief call but yeah, Thistle can hold it)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (also don't forget last horse fell into a goblin hole...)P
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (And a Tractor fell into a Worm Hole in Tremors. Not fun all around)
[Spring] (my dad's land gets sinkholes sometimes)
[Spring] (which worries me because i want my house to be there long term)
[Master] Ok so wrapping up collecting supplies
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Foundation in Utah sank a little. Had to readjust)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Sorry bob. I'm focused now :) )
[Master] requests from the Manor House supplies?
[Master] grins
[Master] want to make sure everyone gets a chance to gather things
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (A few extra horses)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (That's all I can figure Except for healing supplies)
[Master] ask Lisa how many horses she has to spare
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I cant?
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] oh you mean OOC
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (ask her how many horses she has period)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Lisa, do you have any horses? Or mules?)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] ...
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (For ... construction efforts?)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Can we buy any in Dragon's Fen?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I don't know how many horses we have left)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Just trynig to help promise)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ask Nevin)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] :)
[Master] you started with 2
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh then we have zero horses)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (oh..)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (pete lent us a horse to get us home so you can take that one back)
[Master] So that means you have to convince a farmer to give up one of those
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no - take Pete's back)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (When Talwin goes into the City next, he'll prcoure some horses. He won't take from teh Farmers. I'd imagine horses are quite valuable to Farmers)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (and Brer is bringing his horse with him, but it's a warhorse, not a draft horse)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (He'll pay out of pocket to have some shipped out here.)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and not convince - buy since we probably wouldn't return it)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Overnight express please. Or amazon two day deliver)
[Master] as mentioned before, Your body is not Amazon Prime, it does not come in two days
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Right. Lisa. I'd suggest starting to breed them, but not sure how easy it would be to feed them outside of Dragons fen)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] LOL
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (pete did lend us a horse - don't let bob take that back)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I know Bob. I'm using the Callback because I thought it was so funny :)
[Master] I am not
[Master] grins at Michael
[Spring] (hahaha)
[Master] yes to Lisa is why Pete is here
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Can't you just... polymorph an insect into a horse? It probably would live a happier life as one)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (But seriously. Let me get with bob later this wekk and figure out what it would take to get a basic breeding program going. Hroses are critical for infrstrcutrue)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (don't cross state lines with them - absolute headache)
[Master] Carissa? how long does it take for a horse to gestate? then how old before they can breed?
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (You actually pull over)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] ?
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] LOL
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] :)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (if they aren't tested? yeah too many diseases we have to watch for)
[Master] and yes to Carissa on the Polymorph but that would be a Magic User thing
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Errr, I think you're looking at... 5 years minimum? From breeding to raising to use)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Just kidding with you Carissa. I know it's important. I know so many arizonans and Utahs that just cross wihtout giving a damn. Sigh)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (yeah and we know it, too, sadly)
[Master] so there you to Michael
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Sorry bob. I meant for intiial stock, prices, and feeding prices)
[Master] now for the real question for Carissa
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Probably take a lot to feed)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (and 5 years is conservative guess, could be more)
[Master] how many insects live 5 years
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Probably a bigger death toll too without modern medicine and vaccines.)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Well you need to get more growing hay and hope you have good weather for the hay; most the farmers are probably doing pasture but how many are farming only hay?)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (how swampy is the whole region?)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (More than you'd think! Tarantulas for starts can live 20+ years)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Right. it' s just such a tricky question and I'd prefer to get with Bob. And then sumbit a proposal to Bran's seward)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Ant queens over 30 years)
[Master] if Branwyn polymorphs a couple of insects into horses for you
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Some species of beetles at least 5 years)
[Master] you can short cut your timeline
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Boy. Magic is certainly...huh
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I'm overthingking stuff again. Sorry guys_)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (To help with the existential crisis of being something else, you might want something already with a worker mindset or simlar behavior to a horse)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (1 a day for a few months. ;) and Create Food and Water to keep them alive. I don't believe the spell specifies it has to be HUMAN food created)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Or a trainable insect like a bee)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (So feeding is the big issue. Hay LOVES water, but I don't know about swam)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Actually you can train cockroaches...)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (there is only so much she can do in 4 days - each Identify drains CON to 4 unless she sleeps - she she concentrates 1 day to cast and then sleeps the day after)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Or Rats. They are very intelligent)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Well too much water means hard to harvest, too)
[Master] LOL
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Like REALLY INtelligenct)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (water buffalo might be better? not sure)
[Master] Branwyn is busy actually until the 21st
[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I'm sorry Lisa. No, I simply meant LONG term. I just think getting a basic program going might help overall in dragon's fen long term for infrstracuture)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (and I was thinking if there was time, you could polymorph for one more horse to return? so we have two for wagon)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (But, we can do that on the site. I'm getting distracted again darn it)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (otherwise let's find a farmer who wants to sell)
[Master] and Crissa how long does a ...... Horse Fly.... live? Grins
[Thistle (Carissa)] (In my house? Less than 1 hour)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Oh bob
[Spring] (hahaha)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (But in reality I think only a month)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (until the cat eats it?)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (I wish! They get bored of them now)
[Master] How many do you get Carissa? that they are bored of them?
[Thistle (Carissa)] Surprisingly a lot during summer. One or two sneaks in almost daily.
[Master] but now you know if you want to have Branwyn help with additional horses you will have to delay returning by a few days
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Now it's getting cold so they're squeeze between window and screen. Soon will be gone, though)
[Master] You are currently planning on leaving on the 20th
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (dogs are very trainable, and used to being working animals)
[Master] it is the 17th
[Master] I do not belive that anyone other than Branwyn can cast Polymorph Other
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (We don't have to do now guys. Just thought it might help. Talwin can make a supply run afteer things have settled)
[Master] Michael you saw on the OOC page the cost and time for the various pieces of construction are listed?
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.CSC-OOC
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I did see some. What
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] ...
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Sorry. Waht were you asking
[Master] the Moat and the new residence
[Master] to make sure you are all caught up
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I did ignore parts. Let me see real quick
[Master] TMO ? Is Brer ready?
[Master] Spring? anything else you want for the first trip back?
[Master] Carissa any surprises?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I think so. Bran gave him his stuff, and he's mostly there to support and coordinate everyone else's efforts)
[Master] and finally take the roads back? and go two days? or across the Wastes in just over half a day but dangerous?
[Thistle (Carissa)] (Maybe one sec sorry)
[Spring] i can't think of anything
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Healing)
[Master] any other magic items etc?
[Master] your chance to Loot the Treasury
[Master] grins
[Master] everyone is fully healed currently
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Sheet looks good bob. Sucks I dind't make the roll for the house, but eh)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Figures :) )
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (the weakness of a paladin - greed)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Not you :) )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thought it was vanity)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (there's a reason no one's seen his face)
[Sundown (Master)] Judgement
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (cuz he's so pretty?)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (so very pretty)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
Branwyn (Lisa) throws her arms around Tiberius' neck and gives him a kiss
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I'm so sorry guys. Can't really think of anything esle other then the healing items. I'll have to rely on your good judgement! :) )
[Master] making sure everyone is all good with things before moving back to the Protectorate
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hurry up with the construction and come home soon!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have so much to do here
Lord Tiberius (Master) KISSES and spins around
[Lord Tiberius (Master)] There are SOOOOO many things to do... squeezes Branwyn tight
[Thistle (Carissa)] Hey hey hey you said we can bring ANYYYYTHHHINGGG we wanted, right?
[Thistle (Carissa)] Like anything anything?
Branwyn (Lisa) peeks over Tiberus' shoulder "Such as?"
[Master] Spring? TMO? Michael? you are all the leaders here now, grins
Thistle (Carissa) throws up hands with a grin, "People who aren't boring!"
[Spring] i truly am drawing a blank
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
Thistle (Carissa) glancecs over at Snee
[Spring] i dunno. 375 yards of canvas
[Thistle (Carissa)] I mean, you're not THAT boring buttttt.....
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Snee is far from boring
Thistle (Carissa) points to Brer, "He definitely is."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Neither is Skarp
Thistle (Carissa) points to Sundown, "And he REALLY is."
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Boring isn't always bad.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or Emerald
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or Kenna
[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh! Skarp's not! He said he wanted a gnome and I found 'em a gnome!
[Sundown (Master)] Boring? or just not frivilous?
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Actually, Snee is the true leader...
[Thistle (Carissa)] DEFINITELY boring.
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] But I'd love to help as much as possible
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] :)
[Thistle (Carissa)] And judgy
[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And you will get to spend some time with Johan
Snezana (Spring) looks startled
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I'll Make you a deal bob?)
[Sundown (Master)] Yes you dserve to be Judged
[Thistle (Carissa)] So Jilly helped me find people LESS judgy and boring!
[Sundown (Master)] (yes to Michael?)
[Snezana (Spring)] how do you figure i'm a true leader?
[Sundown (Master)] I will be the judge of that
[Thistle (Carissa)] Ummm....Johan is...er... also boring.
[Thistle (Carissa)] You can't judge yourself. That cancels any judgement.,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it says so on the Snee is the Governor scroll?)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] When your ife is constantly chaotic, boring can very relaxing when you can get it.
[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Excuse me?
[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahaha)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I will literally set aside two hours every sunday, when I actually have a little bit of time, and solve the complex mysteries of the scooby gang. If someone can help me list out the exact things they want solved, I can do that, and then during the week people can make comments on my plans)
[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm not sure yet if you're more boring than Sundown. I don't THINK so but you might prove me wrong.
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (If we are seiously in charge of this....rock)_
Johan the Apprentice (Master) looks at Sundown
[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahah)
[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] He is more boring and definately more judgemental
[Thistle (Carissa)] And *I* get to judge that
[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Althought he might have a point
Johan the Apprentice (Master) looks at Thistle
[Thistle (Carissa)] A point about being boring? Well yes.
Johan the Apprentice (Master) Looks at Snee
[Thistle (Carissa)] Now how he can be boring when he's apparently younger than him....
Thistle (Carissa) pointing to Brer
Johan the Apprentice (Master) looks back at Thistle
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I suspect her definition of boring is anyone who keeps her from doing whatever she wants whenever she wants.
[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Everyone is younger than him
[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Trees are younger than him
[Thistle (Carissa)] So you'd think he'd be the most boring, right? But somehow Sundown is more boring!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Besides Johan's magical abilities, he is skilled in metal working and blacksmithing and should be a valuable asset and source of knowledge
[Thistle (Carissa)] Uhhh trees are old? Like centuries? And I don't think he's an elf or a dwarf. Are you Brer?
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] )And Talwin's got metalworking too. Should be able to help I hope)
[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I like the worshop here, if you really need me to stay there Snee... Govenrnor then you can build me a workshop there?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Last I checked, my ears weren't pointy.
Thistle (Carissa) nods, "Not an elf. You know, if you were, you'd probably let me do more things that were fun."
Johan the Apprentice (Master) looks at Thistle, there are trees younger than you too, you ARE old
[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] It all depends on how you look at things
[Thistle (Carissa)] Well yeah? Shi planted some not that long ago.
Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles at Johan. "At any rate, gypsy, there is now a new thing I'll let you do."
[Thistle (Carissa)] Is it walking in fire? It's SO FUN.
Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "That's it."
Johan the Apprentice (Master) gestures at Thistle
[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] You want fire?
[Thistle (Carissa)] You're slightly less boring now!
Johan the Apprentice (Master) cantrips flames at her feet
[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm going to walk into ALL the fires!!
Thistle (Carissa) gasps and dances with glee
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I see my definition of boring was right on the mark.
[Thistle (Carissa)] Let's set more things on fire!
[Snezana (Spring)] but yes
[Snezana (Spring)] workshops and other working spaces are on the list
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I don't want to set the world on Fire)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (No worries it's already on fire)
[Snezana (Spring)] that comes right after fixing the town of Hourglass
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Fires outside the house please!
[Thistle (Carissa)] And people? Because I told them to meet up with us later.
[Thistle (Carissa)] Finnneeeeee
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Actually Lisa, Cali is buring down. Sorry for the close to home reference ;/_
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's okay - nothing new :) )
[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFTLKWw542g
[Master] (and the people that Thistle is refering to will be one round behind)
[Thistle (Carissa)] (because too brain dead for it now)
[Master] I do want to make sure everone is ready before moving along
[Master] we WILL end tonight back at Skull Churdh
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (if he has to teleport us there himself)
[Master] grins
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I'm game to start back)
[Master] do you want to go across country? 18 miles with enounters? or 50 miles by road for 2 days but no encounters
[Snezana (Spring)] (can't believe i'm getting hungry again)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Bet you wish you had some horses! LOL :() )
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (oh, no one answered that, sorry. I vote road)
[Snezana (Spring)] (road)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ummm I was going to say should have ordered that pizza ...)
[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahaha)
[Master] so last call before heading out on the road
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here)
[Snezana (Spring)] (i need to make a quesadilla brb)
[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so since Lara wasn't in if she sees something during the week she really wants, maybe she can add it?)
[Master] Lisa ? anything that Branwyn is tucking into the supplies for them?
[Master] yes to Lisa for Emerald
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (all right)
Branwyn (Lisa) slides wand of humanoid control into Thistle's pack for Emerald
[Master] right now on my priority list to write is A) church writeup for Kiuputto then construction for road from Skull Church to Traveler's Way, then convert the Taxes articles I have
[Master] is there anything else the group wants me to to work on writing up?
[Thistle (Carissa)] (a list of each encounter we'll have so we can prepare beforehand)
[Master] There are no encounters on the way there, grins
[Master] if you take the road
[Master] Ok so moving along
[Master] last call
[Master] and heading out
[Master] updated
[Master] is now the 21st
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Wait, I have to go to the bathroom!)
[Master] Time of Day: 08:02 AM. Day 21 Lad ___ se, Din {Mid Spring} 21st, 349 SKR.
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Are you going to turn this Wagon right around?)
[Master] grins
[Master] everyone is at the Church now on the correct map
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Sorry bob. What is the Blackhole again?)
[Master] Thistle moved 58'02".
[Master] Thistle moved 114'10".
[Master] Skarphedin moved 72'06".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the darkness of despair)

[Master] Lord Tiberius moved 1'09".
[Master] Sundown moved 19'09".
[Master] Emerald moved 23'08".

[Master] Lord Tiberius moved 5'05".
[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] restroom and then will be ready to make sure you are all ready to tackle the next portion of Claimin Skill CHurch
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Snezana (Spring)] (way i see it, if i want to promote and encourage road use, i need to use the road)
[Snezana (Spring)] (plus i dont feel like being set upon by goblins)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (an excellent plan)
[Snezana (Spring)] (i kind of bungled my quesadillas. had to make two becuae these tortillas are so wee)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Before making the quesadilla, smear a tiny bit of mayo on each side on teh griddle. By the time the edges are crips on each side, the cheese will be perfect.
[Snezana (Spring)] (heck yeah)
[Snezana (Spring)] (mayo for the win)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Mix 1 spoon full of condensed milk with cubed jack cheese and microwave in bowl and it will be a sauce
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Youre welcome :)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] LOL
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I LOVE MExican food
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Like
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Absurely
[Snezana (Spring)] (hehehehe)
[Master] the morning of the 21st you are all back here at the church
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] so now what is the first task you want to do?
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Roll for anything?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (sauna)
[Master] building the new residence and fill in the Moat?
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Right
[Snezana (Spring)] moat
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Moat first
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I made taht check
[Carissa] Uhh probably residence? We'd want someone to live and sleep and stay while we do moat and such?
[Snezana (Spring)] (since teh bridge roll didn't go well, do we need to send Pete to go hire somebody to do the wood version of the muck pool bridge?)
[Carissa] I mean unless you want to sleep with a mummy or share a bed with the Baron
[Master] You have 157 man weeks here, so in one week you can fix the Moat and build the new residence and stable in one week
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I dont' think the failure of the check means it's a critical failure, just not as good as It coult be. Bob ruling on that?)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (A Critical failure could resutl in a catostropic failure though. But I dind't fail that hard)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I got like a D plus, which is barely passing
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] but usable
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] as an elective
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] :)
[Snezana (Spring)] (hahaha)
[Master] the current moat plan and sucessful roll was to fill in the front 100 feet of the moat with dirt fill, it does NOT involve taking care of the black puddings
[Master] but in one week you will have a place for people to stay and the front moat filled in so worshipers can get in
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] OK
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] So, Moat and killing puddings first bob?
[Master] actually filling in the moat and building for the first week if that is what Spring Michael and Carissa want
[Master] I am counting the three of you as the key people
[Master] then TMO and Ryan
[Master] and Lara
[Master] then add in Lisa
[Carissa] No pressure there...
[Master] wink
[Spring] whee!
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Yep. No pressure or anything
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (none whatsoever)
[Master] Lisa and TMO have lived with it for the last two years you can manage for a few months, grins
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] :)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Just don't want to let anyone down. I respect them a million times more when it comes to big decisions
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Brer is here to coordinate people, deliver bad news, act as manager, offer common sense advice, and let you all make the important decisions. :P )
[Master] You cannot let anyone down Michael
[Master] Spring is a very nice person
[Master] She will only look at you
[Spring] i what?
[Master] with a sad face
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (we have such low expectations, it's impossible to let us down. ;) KIDDING)
[Spring] hehehehe
[Master] LOL
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] LOL
[Spring] this is a game, so if we F it up, it actually makes things better
[Spring] because adventure
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (failure is entertaining)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Ok ok I'll try
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] :)
[Master] OK
[Spring] watch, we'll wind up with a governors residence with no water closets or outhouses
[Spring] everybody will have to go to the inn to pee
[Master] so everyone is here, Spring I want your confirmation that you want to click off one week to fill in the moat and rebuild the residence and stable
[Spring] yeah lets do that
[Master] and DONE
[Spring] my how time flies
[Master] Time of Day: 08:02 AM. Day 2 Trall ___ de, Sow {Late Spring} 2nd, 349 SKR.
[Snezana (Spring)] that is excellent work
[Snezana (Spring)] well done, crew
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] lol
Brer Necholas (TMO) pats Ashka on the neck.
[Master] and there you go for what you have now
[Master] with your map
[Snezana (Spring)] Baron Ulgin should have a party now
[Snezana (Spring)] a potluck always works
[Snezana (Spring)] that will start invigorating the community
[Master] Did you have a choice for a new residence? or just remap what was there?
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (For me? Or others?)
[Snezana (Spring)] (i wsa just trying to think whose call that would be)
[Carissa] (brb)
[Carissa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] G'vnr
[Snezana (Spring)] (it seems right to just remap what was there)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Ok
[Snezana (Spring)] (i thought if it was part and parcel with the church, it should be the priest's call, or Pete's. but if we are making restitution for destroying the old one, it should be exactly the same)
[Master] OK
[Master] so
[Master] NOW is the point where I bring up there is a cellar under there that you have not visited in months,
[Master] you put a barrel over the trap door and never looked back
[Snezana (Spring)] (ugh we probably have to render that safe don't we?)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I suppose)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Maybe everyting straved to death?)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Or died when the necromancer died?)
[Master] BUT is it one week later after you have returned and you go to work on rebuilding and getting things closer to normal
[Snezana (Spring)] (could be)
[Master] but NOW you are on your own, grins
[Master] to tell me what you want to do
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Srping? Want to just take care of that now?)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Quick encounter before bed?)
[Snezana (Spring)] (we need to go down there and clean it out, but first let's try and remember what was there before)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Did we even go down before?)
[Snezana (Spring)] (because that was ages ago)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Oh my god Srping. I have no dea)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Brer has not)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Drop a bomb down there and call it good)
[Snezana (Spring)] (this most recent trip, nobody went down, i think. but the previous trip when Ty was killed, someone did go down)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Hm. Talwin can be point man if you want. But can everyone chant on him first?)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (For saves?)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (all the nearly starved prisoners are mercilessly and quickly blown to bits)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Months? Eh, they already died TMO :) )
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Unless they gone all Cannibal)
[Master] You can hold off till next week to go down there, just want to make sure you know where you are
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (they were able to survive on insects and moss)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (OK. So, first enoucnter next week everyone?)
[Master] Carissa will have surprise guests for you next week
[Spring] ooo!
[Spring] we like guests
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Oh wait. I may be in a dead zone next Friday)
[Master] and you will go down stairs to explore the cellar
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Bob, how critical an enouchnbter?)
[Master] HAH you would love to know wouldn't you
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Not really, just don't want to screw over poor Spring. :(
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I'll do my best
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] But, I can't make that promise. It's for work
[Master] I am smiling about the idea of Spring Michael and Carissa leading the game
[Spring] n worries
[Spring] *no
[Master] with TMO, Lara and LIsa to backstop you
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (And We end up burning down Dragon's Fen...)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Oh god)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (me too. I'm not a natural leader in this campaign, for whatever reason)
[Spring] (i cast Summon Volcano)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (So...It's treason then!)
[Master] It just means you have to make choices and DO things
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I AM THE SENATE)
[Master] LOL at Michael
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (none of my characters have been itching to take charge.)
[Master] or Branwyn will rise from the Manor cross the Wastes and shake you until you do make things happen
[Spring] it's funny, snee was just motivated by tremendous guilt over Ty getting killed
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (OK. So fix stuff, keep weasely Pete in line, make a profit. Gotcha)
[Lisa] just because you are not "in charge" doesn't mean you can't offer guidance
[Lisa] it's not an excuse :P
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (true)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (brb)
[Master] I am certain that Lisa will be lurking in the background and writing and giving me LOTS of homework
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (In short, be the mid level managers so the CEO doesn't have to knock peoples heads)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] :)
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] LOL
[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] and laughs with Michael
[Spring] hahahaha
[Master] I think we are at a good break point even if it is early
[Master] I am here and will help with what ever
[Lisa] my stuff will have to do with dragon fen
[Master] but want to let people do what they want
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I think so too for me. I'm exhausted. Is that ok for everyone if I call it?
[Lisa] what we can do with 6 loads of ore
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I will be on sunday to answer any questions prompted to me
[Lisa] my bee keeping idea
[Master] is the blacksmith set up in Dragon Fen?
[Master] and yes to the beekeeper
[Lisa] after you guys build roads we will need to re-staff Travellers Way
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Actually, I thought taht was set up bob)
[Lisa] well it was Foto wasn't it?
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (A basic smithy, nothing fancy)
[Master] Mistgarden for the Beekeeper
[Talwin (mharm-05997)] And with that... Love you all HUGS :) Thank you for being so patient and understanding with me. I wish you all a grand Evening! :)
[Lisa] then the mini-mall to host the glass blower, the candlemaker, tailor, etc

Spring has left the game on Fri Oct 16 22:34:06 EDT 2020
[Lisa] Goodnight
[Carissa] Whoops just in time for log offs
[Lisa] always just a tad too late
[Carissa] Oh well
[Master] only really swampy areas are Qui Fen, Foriso Town and Cypress Boourgh
[TMO] nothing around Skull Church?
[Carissa] And don't expect too much of me yet.
[TMO] just trying to get an idea of the terrain
[Master] no to Skull Church, rough wastelands
[TMO] For some reason I just have this mental picture of the whole area being swamp
[Lisa] ok - going to head out
[TMO] couldn't have anything to do with that walking tour of the everglades you took us on
[Lisa] Goodnight!
Lisa has left the game on Fri Oct 16 22:36:35 EDT 2020
