Carissa has received the map Base Map.

[Master] Good Evening

[Carissa] Hello! Didn't expect to be first

[Carissa] By the way, those pastries were delicious. Worth making again. Tomorrow will be the halfling meatball recipe (well, the sauce - using meatless meatballs)

[Master] Excellent

[Carissa] Working through the recipes little by little. Not going to try all of them. Not big on steak, personally.

[Master] nods that is the sign of a broad based book, something for everyone and something that everyone passes on

[Carissa] Or, you know, cookbooks in general ;)

[Master] grins

[Carissa] Hear from anyone?

[Master] sorry

[Master] over in Ancestry trying to add things

[Carissa] No worries

[Master] Spring and Michael are both late if in, both with work issues

[Master] TMO will be here but late

[Master] no word from Lara

[Master] Valerie will be late if at all

[Master] no word from Ryan

[Carissa] It IS the 13th

[Master] nods

mharm-05997 has received the map Base Map.

[Master] and here he is

[Carissa] Did mention of bad luck summon him?? Concerned

[Carissa] Hi Michael!

[mharm-05997] bac luck may have indeed summoned me. I'm so dead tired. I'll do everything I can to help though

[mharm-05997] Also Hello! :)

[Master] So Michael have you read anything on the site this week?

[mharm-05997] Guess

[mharm-05997] sorry. that was a bit rude of me

[mharm-05997] No I am afraid not

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

[Master] grins is ok

[Master] I understand

[Master] so that page there

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

[Master] and this one here

[mharm-05997] No, I was actually pretty rude there. Thank you

[Carissa] You got time now ;)

[Master] read that one first

[Master] the bottom has the list of what you have spent

[Master] and what you have on the horizon to spend

[mharm-05997] oh ok. I'll switch out the two

[Master] Then the question on the OOC page is the choice on paying for the path to Travelers Way

[mharm-05997] Hm. What's the difference in price?

[Master] It is listed on the OOC page

[Master] five options

[mharm-05997] Ah, not the Protectorate Supplies. Ok. One second

[Master] the Supply page has the middle price

[Master] is why I said to read the Supply page first

[mharm-05997] No, I did see that. Just not the options.

[mharm-05997] Checking out OOC now

[mharm-05997] Hm. You know. We are already over budget...

[mharm-05997] We may have to suck it up and just deal with the middle option

[mharm-05997] But

[mharm-05997] We haven't even bought supplies to get the mine build, any supplies for it, nothing

[mharm-05997] So

[mharm-05997] I'm not sure. Carissa? What do you think?

[Carissa] Sorry distracted. Give me two minutes to look

[mharm-05997] I don't think any sort of engineering check will subtract the road costs or adjust time, but I can ask? Bob, would periodic engineering checks help optimize anything?

[mharm-05997] We are just so overbudget with the lighthouse thing

[mharm-05997] Also, I have really bad cotton mouth. Grabbing some water.

[Master] No to Michael on those skills working on the road because Talwin will not be working on the road, you are employing a group of workers to do the work while you are adventuring

[Master] the only costs that are mostly locked in is the Shrine and the Governor’s Residence

[Master] the Lighthouse is a future project

[Master] the Path is a short term future project that saves a LOT of time in traveling

[Carissa] Safer, too, right?

[mharm-05997] Then yeah, I'd rather spend the money on infrastructure before spending on elaborate buildings.

[mharm-05997] I vote for the second option

[Master] 41 miles from Dragon Fen Manor to Hourglass by the current road, if you build the path it will be 13 miles from Hourglass to Travelers Way

[mharm-05997] How fast by airship?

[Carissa] Put that in time?

[Master] with the new path half a day, right now it is two days

[mharm-05997] well I can do 13 miles in three and a half hours being lazy...

[Master] 24 miles per day is the average we use

[Master] and if you have a place for an airship to moor then you would have other options, grins

[Carissa] We already went through some items we can sell if we need. Is 32k upfront or by the end of the year?

[mharm-05997] Considering I'm not wearing armor and other heavy crap other than a hiking pack and maybe a tent, then yeah that sounds great

[mharm-05997] 24 miles I mean

[Carissa] I don't do budgets, but the cost seems reasonable and the time a good middlegroun

[mharm-05997] Also, I have no doubt the buggers are expensive as hell, but love the idea of airships

[Master] that is why I put it on the chart, you could set it up like we did for Branwyn's library, pay X amount every month

[mharm-05997] one day bob may even allow for small steam works

[mharm-05997] even if it's a cold day in hell...

[mharm-05997] OH

[Carissa] Yeah yeah I see the blue text I should have read, too

[mharm-05997] before I forget. Bob I have a side question if you don't mind

[mharm-05997] forgot to message you earlier

[Master] that is why I am here

[mharm-05997] do you do video games at all?

[Master] nope

[mharm-05997] So...hypothetically, if I have a present for you in the form of Baldur’s Gate 3, or Disco Elysium...would you learn?

[Master] no

[Carissa] Wow. That's.... sad

[mharm-05997] BG3 is basically 2.0

[Master] Thank you but no

[mharm-05997] Oh no

[mharm-05997] :(

[Carissa] Wait wait

[Master] it is ok

[Master] someone else will like it

[Carissa] What if I play those as his proxy...?

[Master] and I would regift to that person

[mharm-05997] Sounds good. I'll send you code

[mharm-05997] discord?

[Master] just like when I get the Starbucks gift cards

[Carissa] Seriously? Because I want both so bad

[mharm-05997] also pick one. The other is for my mother

[Master] I do not drink coffee

[Master] so I give them away to others

[mharm-05997] but the smoothies are great?

[Carissa] Discord works if you really have no one else to take them

[Master] no clue

[mharm-05997] so it hot chocolate

[Master] yes to hot chocolate

[Master] I have some at work

[Carissa] They have teas and chocolate and non-coffee fraps

[mharm-05997] No seriously. I have Disco Elysium for Lisa, but she already bought it. I backed both

[Master] dark chocolate for the Keurig machine

[Carissa] Have you never been? I don't drink coffee either but Starbucks has stuff :P

[mharm-05997] So pick

[Master] chuckles and yes please take it Carissa

[Carissa] Decisions are hard. Ummmm.....

[Carissa] Baldur’s

[mharm-05997] But seriously bob. You are so good with tech and virtual worlds. Is it just a dislike? If yes, then I will never say another word. Don't want to make you uncomfortable

[mharm-05997] KK. One sec Carissa

[Master] it is a time issue

[Carissa] Damn now I have to finish B1/2 again

[mharm-05997] I'll never say another word. LOL. I know that feeling

[Master] if I have time to play then I should be creating for here

[Carissa] ...why not both? :)

[Master] grins not enough hours

[Master] which is why I do not know how to use Fantasy Grounds yet

[Carissa] Nah. Not enough time management!

[mharm-05997] (It did take me like 3 months to finish Disco Elysium. It was one of the most amazing experiences ever had. Really made me think)

[Master] they officially moved out of Beta now

[mharm-05997] (Got me right in the feels something awful)

[Master] good Michael

[Master] and I listen to Lisa tell me about her games

[Master] I am glad you get to enjoy them

[Carissa] I'm gearing up to play that soon, but Baldur's keeps catching my attention even though it isn't out yet

[Carissa] Well, not out of beta I mean

[mharm-05997] If you have low enough Stats in Disco Elysium, A chair you sit in can make you have a heart attack...

[Carissa] But I've heard SO many good things about Disco Elysium

[Carissa] That's amazing

[mharm-05997] Oh. Hmm... Can you send me your steam ID via Discord?

[mharm-05997] Forgot how that worked

[Carissa] Yep one sec

[Carissa] And I only know because I did this last week, lol

[Carissa] Thank you!!

[mharm-05997] LOL. Thank Carissa. Uh, you actually got Quake 2 as well. Didn't remember that was in Cart. No biggie though, really cheap. :)

[Carissa] lol!

[Carissa] I haven't hit accept. I'll decline it

[mharm-05997] Nah, you should enjoy a classic

[mharm-05997] really.

[mharm-05997] it's fine

[Carissa] No no

[Carissa] It'll be low on my list. I'm not as much into alien space shooters

[Carissa] Mass Effect the exception

[mharm-05997] Sure. Just know it's no big deal :)

[mharm-05997] OK Bob. Sorry

[Master] no worries at all

[mharm-05997] Just needed to do that before forgetting again

[mharm-05997] One second

[Master] so focused on the Path

[Carissa] Yes sorry you don't game. It is sad, but we'll accept it.

[Master] when you are back

[Master] grins

[Master] I like to think I game very well thank you

[Carissa] Sorry *video game

[mharm-05997] Also, if you won't play, I rarely advocate this, but maybe watch someone play BG3 or Disco in the background The Soundtracks are amazing and watching your exact rules in play, has taught me more about 2.0 than ever before. It's how I started really paying attention to how your "Threatened" and "Backstab" Mechanics really work in practice

[mharm-05997] And spell learning and using

[Master] I am thinking of sound in the back of my mind now

[Master] when we move to the new platform

[Carissa] To add?

[Master] yes

[Master] more sounds at least

[Master] not sure about full streaming

[Master] many things to experiment with

[mharm-05997] So, all your bosses are going to be Dark Souls soundtracks right? Or Bloodborne the Hunter?

[mharm-05997] ...

[mharm-05997] shoot

[mharm-05997] Forgot you don't game. Look those up

[mharm-05997] hehe

[Carissa] That'll be fun. I'll start taking notes of places. If you need bird sounds, I got that covered at least...

[Master] I will

[Master] to both

[Master] so the two of your ideas on the path

[mharm-05997] Yes. I do vote middle ground (not literally)

[mharm-05997] I think it's fiscally responsible considering we still need to procure additional supplies, even on a payment plan so to speak

[mharm-05997] I know bran is fine with us spending money, but I want to make sure it doesn't become a bureaucratic money pit

[Master] just to be sure you understand the cost is the same for the first 44 weeks of building, that is the 894/month

[Master] but then as issues come up that may delay things costs will go up like normal construction stuff

[mharm-05997] Hm.

[Master] but this also allows you to build the path without any characters being involved

[mharm-05997] How far will the first 44 weeks get us (mile wise)

[Master] so you can deal with the Goblins, and Mines and Hourglass and and and

[Master] 13 miles

[Carissa] Yep

[mharm-05997] hm

[Carissa] I'm guessing "event" rolls? How often are those?

[Master] yes to Carissa and those happen every so often,

[mharm-05997] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaoyKECQnPw

[mharm-05997] found it

[Master] and when they do the workers will come to you for help

[mharm-05997] anyhoo

[mharm-05997] How much trouble would it be to have a character assigned to the road?

[Master] PLUS the idea is you post your response on the Player Communication thread and see how much Branwyn wants to chip in

TMO has joined the game on Fri Nov 13 20:05:15 EST 2020

TMO is receiving the map Base Map...

TMO has received the map Base Map.

[Master] as it is part of Dragon Fen

[mharm-05997] Hi TMO!

[Carissa] Yes good point

[TMO] hola

[Carissa] Hi TMO!

[mharm-05997] como st?

[Master] you do not want to have a character assigned to the road

[Master] you would lose them for a game year

[mharm-05997] no. I'm sorry.

[Master] and you have SO many other story threads you want them for

[mharm-05997] A character from Dragon's fen Character not doing anything?

[Master] all the ones you control are assigned

[mharm-05997] That can periodically ditch the road effort to accompany on an adventure

[mharm-05997] oh

[Master] and cannot swap in and out

[TMO] I don't know how to say so-so in Spanish. the only response I know is muy bien, gracias, and muy bien does not cover this week

[Master] would not make the math work in your favor

[Master] and fully understand that TMO

[mharm-05997] (It wasn' necessary to help with the road, but make it so Lisa and others could pop in and out for sessions if they wanted an adventure. If that makes sense)

[mharm-05997] (They would be closer, but also able toa adventure)

[Master] Lisa will pop in when she feels you all are doing things the way you want to do and she will not be interfering and telling you what to do

[mharm-05997] (OK. Good. Don't want her left out or anyone else)

[mharm-05997] I still vote middle ground

[mharm-05997] It just seems like the most sense cost v. time

[Master] I agree with that

[mharm-05997] Hopefully, we can start making money and progress at the same time

[Carissa] Yep. Saw Spring agrees, too

[mharm-05997] (I’ll post later that I agree)

[Master] ok

[Master] then the next thing is to determine how much you want Branwyn to chip in

[Master] do you want it to be 50/50?

[mharm-05997] ...

[mharm-05997] Hm

[Master] You want a better way in and out of the Protectorate

[mharm-05997] How about 75/25 with a payback + interest on the first 25 percent over a period of an extra year.

[mharm-05997] Or a very miniscule toll for out of state travelers to use this road

[mharm-05997] payable to only Dragon's fen or 75/25 with Dragon's fen and here

[Master] the idea is you want the results of your mining and other profits to go to Branwyn

[Master] and you need the farms etc. from the richer more fertile portion of the Wastes to feed your people here

[Master] otherwise you have to pay Quellcon for food

[Master] the Protectorate IS Dragon Fen

[Master] just not connected to it yet

[Carissa] I'd say 50/50. That's how most roads operate. One person owns one half, the other the other half, and this way no one can do a toll because no one owns more of the road than the other

[mharm-05997] Tell that to New York

[Carissa] (Obviously meaning private and smaller roads, not interstates and the like)

[mharm-05997] or was it Chicago

[Carissa] Eh, NY isn't any worse than any other state.

[mharm-05997] hm. Need to look that up later

[Carissa] So probably Chicago, lol

[mharm-05997] Anywho

[mharm-05997] 50/50 sounds good to me

[mharm-05997] just spitting out options :)

[mharm-05997] TMO?

[mharm-05997] Thoughts?

[Master] so the Protectorate would have to come up with 487 GP a month to pay the construction costs

[TMO] chicken is tasty

[mharm-05997] That does sound reasonable. It also gives us time to get operations up and running too so I think that should work out well

[TMO] do we have any idea of what kind of income the Protectorate generates *now*?

[Carissa] Hopefully with mine we'll be able to manage that

[TMO] is it >0?

[Master] yes

[Master] exactly zero or less

[mharm-05997] Wait really?

[mharm-05997] oh

[Master] you have 50K that Branwyn gave as seed money to pay for things so you could get started

[Master] not expected to pay that back

[mharm-05997] (But we shall eventually)

[Master] no

[mharm-05997] GRRR

[Master] it is Dragon Fen

[Master] you will spend it smartly

[Master] and help grow Dragon Fen

[mharm-05997] Well, we are trying. Gotta give it that

[Master] it is not like Mist Garden can pay its own way

[Master] it is the Estate overall

[mharm-05997] Right

[Carissa] And we are halfway to finding a mine. Well, we probably found one but we have to dig into that. Yes, intended.

[Master] you making the Mines work, the Churches work

[Master] and you will bring the Estate up

[Master] the reason you would split the costs up is so that you do not use all of your 50K up

[mharm-05997] Right

[Master] you do have to pay for mining issues

[mharm-05997] Yes to that also

[Master] those costs are mostly laid out on the Mining page

[mharm-05997] I did see those

[Master] you will have to help pay for refurbishing the Church

[Master] you have to build a new church

[Master] it will be nice to have that lighthouse

[mharm-05997] One thing at a time

[mharm-05997] Can't build without money. Money making first

[mharm-05997] Then luxuries

[Master] THAT is an optional thing it just shows you are a powerful Estate

[Master] to have two lighthouses

[mharm-05997] Oh, I'm sure there are very many optional things we can have to make it fancy

[mharm-05997] ...

[Master] and then build a third down near Redfern Lake

[mharm-05997] Like airships,

[mharm-05997] lol

[Carissa] Is lighthouses a thing here? I thought it was just a Ilero thing

[mharm-05997] Land of Lighthouses

[Master] grins, and mooring an airship

Spring has joined the game on Fri Nov 13 20:23:20 EST 2020

Spring is receiving the map Base Map...

Spring has received the map Base Map.

[mharm-05997] Pay money to visit the Haunted Lighthouse...ooooh...spooky

[Carissa] Ah the ultimate goal

[Carissa] Hi Spring!

[Spring] did I hear money?

[TMO] I honestly don't even remember at this time if the Guild is *in* that lighthouse, or a different tower.

[Master] Airships are a thing and with The Mist Lighthouses are a thing

[mharm-05997] Hi Spring!

[TMO] I was looking at the map and wondering earlier this week

[Spring] hi y'all!

[Master] as you wander around and can spot the lights from various estates

[Master] and yes to TMO the Guild is in that lighthouse in Foriso Town

[Master] and Hello Spring

[Spring] sorry so late. work problems. the technical kind not the interpersonal kind

[Master] Not a worry at all

[Master] we saw your post on the road

[mharm-05997] Oh god. Can we switch issues for this week Spring?

[Spring] oh sure

[mharm-05997] I'll deal with Tech problems and you can deal with personnel?

[Spring] performance improvement plan

[Spring] measurable goals!

[mharm-05997] Nah. They just quit without reason

[mharm-05997] So. No need for PIP

[Spring] oh then your problem is already solved

[mharm-05997] ...

[mharm-05997] Not when you are asked to take over the duties it isn't

[Spring] that does indeed suck

[mharm-05997] But I digress

[mharm-05997] sorry

[mharm-05997] Can we safely say you are on the side of the middle price range on the road Spring?

[Spring] right

[Master] the other discussion is having Branwyn agree to pay 50/50 on the path

[Spring] we have to balance speed and cost

[mharm-05997] Because she would like us to become profitable as well and helping with the road helps with that goal

[Spring] well also commerce will help all the connected parties, so it may be good to hit up the what’s-their-names too

[mharm-05997] Eh...hm.

[mharm-05997] Maybe?

[Master] If you mean the Quellcon Estates Spring?

[Spring] we should sell bonds

[Spring] right!

[Spring] then people know it's a tangible investment

[Master] They are a different Estate, they are not going to intentionally help Dragon Fen Estate grow more powerful

[Spring] even if it helps them grow more powerful?

[Master] bonds are not a thing, the Ruling Family in this case Branwyn foot the bill

[Spring] I guess we don't get to invent them

[Master] why would it make them (Quellcon) more powerful?

[Spring] hm

[mharm-05997] Yeah, I think the City State nature would stop that pretty quick

[Spring] more trade more wealth more connections more power

[Master] Dragon Fen currently has nothing they would be interested in

[Master] and you are just taking over Skull Church which is right on their border

[Master] See the Skull Church time line for how that interaction is

[TMO] we do have something

[TMO] we apparently have more than enough GOBLINS. Goblin Army y'all!

[Master] chuckles

[mharm-05997] I believe it's Horde

[mharm-05997] "For the Horde"

[Spring] haha

[mharm-05997] Sorry. Just making an effort to quote enough video games that bob gets it via osmosis

[Spring] I thought part of the point of this path was to increase traffic through dragon fen from beyond

[Master] that would be a nice bonus

[Master] but the first primary reason is to cut the distance from Hourglass to Dragon Fen Manor from 41 miles to 15 or so

[Spring] alright. internal project

[Carissa] It'll be good long term for revenue, trade, etc.

[Carissa] And, er, us

[Spring] the good thing remains that we don't have to do the labor

[Spring] finally

[Spring] although I don't know where we are getting the labor

[Master] That is what the money is for

[TMO] there are humans obviously living around here somewhere too

[TMO] we picked up a carpenter in the wilderness, after all

[Master] to hire people to come in and build

[Master] another reason why Quellcon may or may not be happy, any loose labor people are being drawn into Dragon Fen now

[Master] rather than to their mines

[mharm-05997] (Hey that's on them. Just ask the Medici’s)

[Carissa] We'll buy their iron regardless. Maybe we can rent some goblins out to them

[mharm-05997] Snort

[Spring] heh

[Master] you have three Estates near you, Jistille which you are on very very good terms with, Quellcon which is neutral, you did kill a brother in law they were not really happy with but still part of the family, and the Medipops who are to the west of you and you have not really interacted much with

[Master] so you want to solidify Dragon Fen as much as you can

[mharm-05997] We should at least introduce ourselves to the Medipops. Get a feel for our neighbors

[Master] build up this corner then bridge the middle of the Wastes

[Master] Branwyn has met them, you stopped there on the way back from your dark elf adventure

[TMO] ehhh... personally, I'd leave the diplomatic stuff to Branwyn's initiatives.

[Master] before you came back to Skull Church to kill Black Cloak

[Master] and yes to TMO

[TMO] if she wants to send you that's fine, but don't go on your own accord

[mharm-05997] Right. But actually spend time really getting to know them and interact

[Spring] right, thank god

mharm-05997 Holds hands up

[mharm-05997] Ok

[Spring] I was worried for a sec

[mharm-05997] We can stay away too

[Master] Branwyn needs you to help keep this corner of the Wastes safe

[TMO] that's like the mayor of New York City holding diplomatic meetings with the Chancellor of Japan.

[Spring] it's bad enough we are doing economics, I wanna go easy on the politics

[mharm-05997] You' be surprised who the Mayor of New York has diplomatic relations with I think

[TMO] (that's why I picked him. ;) )

[mharm-05997] Like Angela Merkel

[mharm-05997] lol

[mharm-05997] :) [Spring] heh

[mharm-05997] Anyhoo

[Master] but so your key problems remain

[mharm-05997] Sorry for derailing

[Master] Moat, Goblins, Hourglass

[Master] building the path will go along in the background

[mharm-05997] Let's get the moat done with please

[mharm-05997] I'll do anything

[Spring] Deja vu

[mharm-05997] I just want that hangover gone

[mharm-05997] it's the gift that just keeps on giving

[Master] The Moat Talwin succeeded in his check on how to fill in the moat. He determined to start near the entrance, and has a plan to fill in and repair the first 100 feet of space across the front of the moat. Cost=300 GP, Time=31 man weeks

[Master] that is from the OOC

[mharm-05997] Oh god

[mharm-05997] how much real life time?

[Master] every 10% of the Moat costs that much and takes that much time

mharm-05997 cries softly

[Master] I will work out how many man weeks you have right now with the mining team gone

[Master] just a moment

[TMO] don't forget each PC is worth multiple man-weeks

[Master] 82 man weeks for your group that is here

[Carissa] Much as I'd also like the moat done, the reason we jumped to goblins is time. Moat will take time. We need to deal with goblins before they deal with us

[Master] so once a week

[Master] sorry

[Master] yes to Carissa

[Master] that is the point I was going to make

[mharm-05997] OK. We can deal with Goblins. I'm sorry. I was being selfish.

[mharm-05997] Let me know what I can do to help on that front

[Carissa] And mining team might finish early. I think it's been hinting that they do need to explore. But once they do, they may return. Or end up as goblins slaves. Either or

[TMO] have the clerics summon an angel to put the fear of god into the goblins and recruit them to work for us permanently.

[Carissa] So first question is if Spring saw or read the goblin encounter?

[Master] It will take 4 weeks of your group working on the moat to completely wrap it up

[Spring] I did not

[Master] so you know that time frame now

[Master] funny how that is just a bit shorter than the amount of time it took to build it huh?

[Carissa] Apparently they had a deal already with Black Cloak. I forget what it was (it's in chat) but they did try to trap us all in a rope trap

[TMO] ah, that's just goblins being goblins. :) you have to expect that kind of prank

[Carissa] Almost like it was all planned out, but you don't plan things to that degree ever. Nope.

[TMO] they do that to themselves all the time

[Carissa] lol true

[Carissa] And their "I don't remember. Did I say he brought us 5 hams? I meant 50. silly memory issues!"

[Spring] hm

[Spring] I dunno where to look to catch up

[Spring] I’m looking at recent changes and it's just kind of all over the place

[Carissa] I'm looking for you. Easiest is formatted chat and the new goblin font

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

[Master] The Goblin Section has links to each portion of each chat

[Carissa] I think main thing (anyone can correct me), is when we return they want us to bring tribute in the form of ham to talk to their chief

[Carissa] Well fancy fancy

[Master] I put in anchors to lead you to that part of the chat

[Carissa] Shows how little I paid attention to site this week

[Master] plus the Summary page is up to date for each section too

[Carissa] (thank you for that)

[Master] I took advantage of the day off for the Storm and did a bunch of updates

[Master] and today have been tracing out the Quellcon Family Tree

[Master] got a couple of new people added

[Carissa] Your storm brought back the cold. Take it back :(

[Master] and will do more soon

[Master] I am almost up to the current family

[Master] then the Medipops, with 15 kids, like bunnies over there

[TMO] lol

[Master] I need to get the Quellcon tree more fleshed out for you

[mharm-05997] They had the heir, and then the spare, and then...a bunch of claims to the title and backstabbing

[Master] so you can see how from the mines and the Queen to Black Cloak

[Master] then will move over to Medipop

[Master] but I do think I should shut up and have the four of you discuss the Goblin issue

[Master] how will you handle this

[Master] end result of negotiations, how to get there, what leverage you have etc.

[Spring] I’m skimming and skimming and skimming and haven't gotten to the conversation yet

[Master] high goals and what you will actually accept in the end

[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.20201106c#FirstVisitToGoblins

[Spring] crap, I’m gonna have to copy/paste into something to read the goblin bits

[Spring] I can't read the font

[TMO] can search in the unformatted page then

[Carissa] the end

[Spring] yeah BOB I did start there

[Carissa] Let's see if I can summarize for you?

[Carissa] Goblin claims agreement with Black Cloak was "every wagon we let pass we get food and drink"

[mharm-05997] (I have altered the deal. Pray I do not alter it again)

[Carissa] They claim to "let...20 no 50 wagons pass" and have not been paid for these

[Spring] they are welcome to collect their due from his corpse

[Carissa] "We get two to five hams and same barrels of ale every ah twice a week?"

[Carissa] They did not know how much time has passed since last tribute

[TMO] could try offering them a bounty for every monster corpse they bring in.

[Carissa] Then they tried to get us in their trap

[Carissa] Then Ghietjer tries to reason with them

[TMO] and don't forget to punish for any human infractions by them

[Carissa] Food and drink for no work or attack and get nothing

[Carissa] They seem mostly interested in food

[Carissa] So yeah, we said we'll be back. The end.

[Carissa] I leave anything out?

[TMO] no, I think that's it. For some reason I was thinking the Ghietjer talk was the mining group, but it wasn't. that was here in Skull Hill

[Spring] so, forgive me, I’m confused

[Spring] did we agree to pay tribute or did we gain access to the chief to discuss tribute?

[Carissa] Neither

[Spring] oh, okay

[Carissa] The goblins claim they are due tribute because of the previous agreement. Upon saying we'd talk to our "chieftain" aka you, it was suggested we bring the tribute with us then

[Carissa] We just used possibly getting tribute as an excuse to leave

[Spring] ah ok

[Spring] so I’m thinking

[Spring] now, if we bring hams, no matter how many we bring, we are screwed

[Spring] if we bring a lot, it's a bad precedent. if we bring a few, it's below expectations and disrespectful

[Spring] so we probably better bring something else entirely

[Carissa] Can we... just say they're on their way, but wanted to talk in the meantime?

[Spring] like I dunno a deer carcass or something

[Carissa] I mean where we gonna find ham?

[Spring] fair point. we have to buy them from whoever wherever

[Spring] that takes time

[Spring] maybe we only bring drink?

[Spring] for starters

[Carissa] Probably okay. Someone else can weigh in

[Spring] I mean we could bring donuts and muffins but I dunno if they can even eat grains

[Spring] I’d suggest all kinds of things but they seemed pretty stuck on food and bev

[TMO] I'd think have to give them something for them to talk to us

[TMO] even if not everything promised, at least something

[Spring] just a meeting gift

[Spring] I don't want it to be a down payment

[mharm-05997] I can honestly say I have no idea what to do

[Master] brb restroom refilling and emptying

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Carissa] Some slightly different than the expect so they don't get the wrong message?

[TMO] that'd work

[Spring] yeah

[Spring] like if we hunt a deer or two and bring them

[TMO] think of it like dealing with a spoiled child you can't punish

[Spring] or some rabbits

[TMO] you can't let them get control of the situation, but can't just grab them by the neck and shake them

[Spring] I think we do have to tell them that black cloak is slain and his enemies are not honoring his deals but are willing to make their own

[mharm-05997] I think that is fair spring

[mharm-05997] I just...

[mharm-05997] I have no idea about how to go about this. I truly feel lost on what to do here

[mharm-05997] Of course, I think my fatigue is getting to me too. So . there is that

[Spring] right there with you

[Spring] I also don't know how we are speaking to them without Ryan

[mharm-05997] or Lara

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[mharm-05997] Bob. Not that I actually should be asking, but do you see something so obvious we are just not seeing it here?

[Spring] oh wait, I think Snee has tongues

[mharm-05997] I got nothing

[mharm-05997] Yes!

[mharm-05997] OK

[Carissa] The gnome that TMO can play also speaks Goblin

[TMO] yes

[Spring] oh! well okay

[Carissa] We did tell them that Black Cloak is gone

[Carissa] It's an NPC. Not anyone specific. It was just for Ryan to play

[Carissa] (Sorry stepped away for a second and catching up on conv)

[Master] There are a couple of options

[Master] you can negotiate like you are trying to do

[Carissa] Wait... not sure he did tell them BC died...

[Master] OR you could go in and lay waste to everything killing them all

[Master] using that as a tactic to negotiate with

[Master] and everything in between

[Spring] see previous about ecosystem

[Carissa] (Sorry yes, we did tell him he died. But not how)

[Carissa] Yeah but we lay waste to one tribe, we might be setting up a fight to fight two more

[Master] I do not want to tell you how to handle this

[Carissa] Do we have any scary animal we can drag with us as our new "Hippogriff?"

[Master] you know of at least two more tribes out there

[Carissa] lol I know that, I'm just restating the other tribes as a reminder for anyone who forgot :)

[Spring] we could challenge them to combat to prove our might

[Master] and unknown IN character your mining group just found more goblins 4 days in the future, you are not aware of who that group might be affiliated with

[TMO] Talwin vs goblin champion?

[Spring] something like that

[Spring] we could do single combat or a squad of 5 or something

[Spring] not that we have 5 of us right now

[TMO] I suspect magic wouldn't be allowed

[Spring] hmmmmmm

[Spring] magic is part of our might, but

[TMO] we have Mighty

[Spring] the idea is to prove they would be toast if they don't deal

[TMO] Talwin, Skarp, Brer, Sundown

[TMO] truth

[Spring] so if we don't show them a little toasting, how would they know?

[mharm-05997] I would be down for that

[Carissa] We can always just... go back and talk to them? See what to do?

[mharm-05997] (What shall you do now Wizard???)

[Carissa] And bring Griff

[Carissa] He's already half a Griffon

[Master] Leg of Dog is a delecy

[Spring] oh well, that is definitely impressive

[Carissa] I mean, guessing based on the name but probably right maybe

[TMO] Fist of Brer is pretty impressive too. :)

[mharm-05997] Please don't say that bob. I cried at a dog shelter the other day

[Spring] hahahaha

[mharm-05997] :(

[Spring] :-(

[Spring] how did you come to be crying at the shelter?

[mharm-05997] The cruelty of people baffles me

[Spring] oh

[mharm-05997] I was rescuing a dog for my sister

[mharm-05997] I had to leave so many puppers behind

[mharm-05997] Anyways

[mharm-05997] Less Grim topic

[Spring] :-(

[mharm-05997] Should we talk? Kill? Negotiate? What should we do. Vote?

[mharm-05997] I don't want to frustrate bob or anyone else by inaction either.

[Spring] so, we bring the chief a gift of some wild game, break it to them that black cloak is killed and the victors will be doing a separate deal, and invite them to a combat challenge?

[TMO] Brer's advice would be talk first, action as fallback if it fails

[mharm-05997] I like both of those

[Carissa] Vote mostly yes but hold off on combat until we talk to them

[Spring] and then if it goes south, we kill in every direction?

[Carissa] See what's fully on the table first

[mharm-05997] A intro gift, and then speaking/combat

[mharm-05997] Sure, why not?

[Carissa] I really want to avoid killing. I think that'll set us off on a long, hard path.

[mharm-05997] It would suck if we kill our labor force, but

[mharm-05997] it also depends on them too.

[Spring] concur to all of that

[mharm-05997] I doubt they want to fight as much as we don't want to fight

[mharm-05997] or

[mharm-05997] you know what I mean

[mharm-05997] I'm tired

[Master] I am here, I am not frustrated but you cannot move forward until you solve this

[Spring] I don't mind being hobos but I’m weary of the murder part

Spring is receiving the map Church Ground Floor...

Spring has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Spring] ok I like the plan as we have it so far

[mharm-05997] Well...We don't get anywhere by doing nothing. Why don't we bring a small gift for the Chief to at least get an audience and then go from there.

[mharm-05997] Last option is to kill everything in sight

[Spring] right

[Spring] my suggestion is wild game

[mharm-05997] Sure. Can't go wrong with that

[mharm-05997] Everyone eats wild game right?

[mharm-05997] (Elves vegetarian in this game?)

[Spring] then a parlay about black cloak and the death of the old deal

[Spring] and then, depending on how that goes, we might suggest a friendly game of footie

[Spring] or combat

[Spring] whichever. or skip it

[mharm-05997] Sure. Let's make sure we have reliable light this time though

[Carissa] (Mixed, mostly, but there is hunting for game; some of the Elven gods support it)

[mharm-05997] We should cast an extra light and anchor it to something

[Spring] like putty? stick it to a wall?

[Carissa] Sounds good to me. Figure talking to them in more proper setting will give us a better idea of plan of action

[mharm-05997] No to a stone like the other one

[Spring] there is a party golf cart going by

[Carissa] There's some light things at the farmhouse

[Spring] their music is bumping

[Carissa] Four, I believe

[Master] You have them

[Master] you can collect them

[Carissa] Oh hey! So we have four light... were they stones?

[Master] Talwin's residence so he can give them to you

[mharm-05997] I do think we should have them. Hell, we should have them in the mines too. Save some resources of buying torches

[Master] chunks of rock

[mharm-05997] I shall get into character and retrieve them

mharm-05997 is receiving the map Left Eye Cavern...

[Spring] I guess we place them about and everyone is underlit

[Spring] this is my evil face muahahahaha

[Carissa] (thanks for giving Thistle ideas)

[Spring] gonna have to stick his chin down his tunic

Talwin (mharm-05997) Mumbles about darkness and attaches stone to his armor. "Here we go. Wish I'd remembered this before."

Talwin (mharm-05997) Places the other three in a bag and returns

Talwin (mharm-05997) Hands them out

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] "Sorry. I somehow forgot about these"

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Who wants them?)

[Snezana (Spring)] thanks, glad you remembered them now

Talwin (mharm-05997) Sheepishly

Talwin (mharm-05997) Looks around and blushes at his forgetfulness.

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] "It's been a rough couple weeks eh?"

Talwin (mharm-05997) Smiles tightly

[Snezana (Spring)] (I feel like I used to have a continual light object but no clear memory)

[Carissa] (Thistle has her flashlight; doesn't need)

[Snezana (Spring)] (it's not in my equipment)

[Snezana (Spring)] I’ll take one please

[Snezana (Spring)] ok does everyone have light who wants it?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Brer would certainly take one if offered)

[Snezana (Spring)] who can hunt?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (he can try persuading the animals to come to him)

[Snezana (Spring)] (same, feels kind of dirty)

Talwin (mharm-05997) Hands to Brer. Hands to Snezana

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] "Anyone else?"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Sundown?

[Snezana (Spring)] if no one is specially skilled at hunting, then I will summon an animal and somebody can fight it I guess

[Master] You can edit your own sheet if you like to change your light radius to 60 feet and/or add an effect to have the glow about you to show it

Sundown (Master) looks up Yes Brother?

[Snezana (Spring)] (shoot, I haven't learned how to do that yet)

[Sundown (Master)] (no worries Spring is not important right now)

TMO has edited Brer Necholas's effects.

[Carissa] (Does gnome have all his profs?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Do you want to borrow one of Sir Talwin's lights for a while?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (gnome do)

Talwin (mharm-05997) Waits

[Sundown (Master)] I will be with the group, someone else will want it more

Talwin (mharm-05997) Sighs. But recognizes a hard truth

Talwin (mharm-05997) Passes the bag. Face Stoic. We may need a good fighter

Talwin (mharm-05997) You should have one

Talwin (mharm-05997) The rest will stick by us and you

[Sundown (Master)] Of course they will, they will want to be protected

Talwin (mharm-05997) Barely resists rolling eyes

[Sundown (Master)] But I will have my hands on my weapons

[Sundown (Master)] someone else can carry a rock

Talwin (mharm-05997) Shrugs. "Ok"

[Snezana (Spring)] (I don't have a spell of duct tape do I?)

Talwin (mharm-05997) places rock in hip pouch. Let me know if you change your mind.

[Sundown (Master)] (not likely)

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (The problem, is that I don't think anyone else needs one. Maybe we can trade it or something

[Sundown (Master)] Thank you Talwin

Talwin (mharm-05997) Nods

[Snezana (Spring)] ("sticks to snakes" not "STICK to snakes"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (LOL)

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] lol

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I'm going to invent the reversed version of that spell. Snakes to Sticks. Every snake I meet I'll change into a stick, and put it in my golf bag. Somebody bothers me, I throw sticks at them that change back into snakes upon contact)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahaha)

[Snezana (Spring)] (ok I guess I’m just gonna have to hold my rock in my hand. I haven't thought of a clever solution yet

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (in your mouth, just grin while you fight)

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I put it in a net on my armor. Or...Hugh did...)

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Sigh)

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Can I just use that logic bob?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Ilero used it on a cloak clasp)

[Snezana (Spring)] (next time I see Kenna I’m gonna ask her to cast it on a hat)

[Snezana (Spring)] (a cap really so I can roll it up and put it away)

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I'm just going to use some netting and attach to my armor. I feel that's a reasonable action for an engineer

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] OOC

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] I can see the problem there :)

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Brer can be really quiet then?

[Snezana (Spring)] (hee!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I have a bit of experience running more than one character. :) )

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] No I know. Just some nights, I had so much trouble doing it.

[Snezana (Spring)] (I don't think anyone does, but if not, I’d planned to summon an animal for someone to fight)

[Master] Ok so go with that, Snee casts what?

[Master] this would be on the 2nd

[Snezana (Spring)] (animal summoning I)

[Master] ok

[Master] looking up that chart now

[Snezana (Spring)] (crap, I made an error)

[Snezana (Spring)] (I have already cast tongues and I have only 1 level 4 spell)

[Snezana (Spring)] (so I cannot summon)

[Master] I will say wild boar

[Master] and tongues is the next day

[Master] so you are good

[Snezana (Spring)] (oh, okay then)

[Master] So you get two wild boar with your Summoning spell

[Master] you dispatch them

[Master] and now have two dead boars to use as you wish

[Master] so the next morning you can bring 1 ? 2 ? with you

[Master] and we are on the morning of the 3rd now

[Ghietjer (TMO)] Should we make a wish on the wishbone?

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Fireman's Carry! Or similar. With right technique, you can carry a good weight. I can't deadlift 100+ lbs., but if I have to fireman carry you, it's pretty easy)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Or maybe to punch you! Jerk!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Pfft fine! And when the ropes catch you, you'll just have to HOPE I can reach you to untie you!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (we've met in person - I'm kinda doubting it, no offense. :D

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I'm not an easy carry)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hehehe)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (LOL and to be fair, you proved I was easy to carry. But I did have to do it to pass my EMT examine. Didn't say far. Just carry tou to the ambulance/stretcher/away from fire ;) )

[Goblin #2 (Master)] (G) Wild Boar is a nice gift

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) because there is much we must discuss

[Goblin #2 (Master)] (G) bring it inside

Ghietjer (TMO) mutters, "She's saying we brought them as gifts to the chief."

Snezana (Spring) smiles thanks to G

Ghietjer (TMO) whispers, "Net, net, net..."

[Snezana (Spring)] (G) would you please meet us out here and escort us inside?

[Goblin #2 (Master)] (G) I am on duty, you can bring it to me and leave it here, I will make sure it gets to the chief

Ghietjer (TMO) shakes his head.

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) oh, darn it, I wish I could do that, but it is really important we meet the chief

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) do you have a way to send a message? we can wait here

[Goblin #2 (Master)] (G) grumbles Very well I will send someone out to take it from you

Ghietjer (TMO) lurks behind Griff's side.

[Goblin #2 (Master)] (G) Hey! TWO MORE UP HERE

[Master (to GM only)] Goblin #3 moved 18'01".

[Master (to GM only)] Goblin #1 moved 34'09".

[Master (to GM only)] Goblin #3 moved 29'06".

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) that is very kind of you but we really must deliver them to the chief and pay our respects

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) perhaps one of these can go ask the chief to join us?

[Goblin #1 (Master)] (G) You can come with us

[Goblin #1 (Master)] (G) I can take you to the chief

Snezana (Spring) looking around at the rest of us to silently ask if this works

[Ghietjer (TMO)] They'll have more traps inside.

[Ghietjer (TMO)] If they don't fear us, they'll try to capture us.

[Master] At this point I will let Ghietjer get an Intuition check

[Ghietjer (TMO)] Ghietjer: INU check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

[Master (to TMO only)] Goblins are mostly nocturnal, it is 8 AM

Ghietjer (TMO) chuckles wickedly, "I bet he's gone to bed."

[Master (to TMO only)] also they do not like bright lights

[Ghietjer (TMO)] And they don't want to be the one to wake him up.

[Snezana (Spring)] oh. hmm.

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) if this is a bad time, we can come back later ... ?

Ghietjer (TMO) leans close to Snezana and whispers...

[Goblin #3 (Master)] (G) is a good time for tribute

Goblin #3 (Master) squints

[Ghietjer (TMO) (to Spring only)] They also don't like bright lights. Those stones might be hurting their eyes a bit. You could use it as a trap in the right circumstances."

Ghietjer (TMO) winks at Snezana.

[Snezana (Spring)] hmmmmmm

[Snezana (Spring) (to TMO only)] I feel way too dumb right now to make use of this information

[Ghietjer (TMO) (to Spring only)] Snezana also isn't a subterfuge person, don't worry about it

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) but maybe not a good time for a gift among leaders

[Ghietjer (TMO) (to Spring only)] with the information she can probably tell the lights are making them uncomfortable, thus the squinting

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) I just realized, are our lights too bright?

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Goblin #3 (Master)] (G) Yes, Hide the lights, Good idea

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] No

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) perhaps we can hold them lower or partially shield them so they don't shine up into your eyes

[Ghietjer (TMO)] (all in goblin so far Talwin. :) )

[Snezana (Spring)] (until after you attack us, and then you get it in the eyeball)

Snezana (Spring) removes the gauze from arm and ties around calf instead so tunic blocks upward shine

[Thistle (Carissa)] Thistle: Find/remove traps check:(d100) [1d100=36] 36 - ROLL FAILED against 5!!

[Thistle (Carissa)] (test)

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Good

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Lag on my end

[Ghietjer (TMO)] (success)

[Goblin #3 (Master)] (they are just waiting there)

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) is that better?

[Goblin #3 (Master)] (G) not much but

[Goblin #3 (Master)] (G) Come closer

[Ghietjer (TMO)] Psst, shade your lights a little bit.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Why?

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Holding a boar

[Snezana (Spring)] (let's go closer but at an oblique angle. like sort of north-northwest)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Spread out or as group?)

[Snezana (Spring)] (I think spread as much as we already are. so as a group but not tight)

Ghietjer (TMO) chuckles. "It hurts their eyes. We're trying to be a bit friendly right now. You can always reveal it when ... if they pull something.

[Master] Sundown moved 4'10".

[Master] Talwin moved 6'04".

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 5'07".

Ghietjer (TMO) looks for the net

[Master] Thistle moved 2'06".

[Master] Snezana moved 9'11".

[Master] Griff (dog) moved 2'07".

[Master] Ghietjer moved 10'09".

[Snezana (Spring)] (wow we are spreading out. not really what I had in mind)

[Master] Griff (dog) moved 14'03".

[Snezana (Spring)] (but possibly better)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (He's just making us trap shaped)

[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahahha)

[Goblin #3 (Master)] (sorry move where you want, was just putting two people with each boar, then grff with Brer and Ghietjer with the other group so you have one Goblin speaker in each group

[Snezana (Spring)] (that makes sense)

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Well the three with the poll better stick together obliquely

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] We can drop, but for now we kind have to be attached

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Unless we deposit it here and allow them to get it themselves. That would leave us with free hands

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] And then if it goes missing, we can tell the Chief it wasn't us

[Ghietjer (TMO)] Yeah, make them carry the meat.

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] The deal didn't say we had to hand deliver it to the chief

[Snezana (Spring)] if they carry it away, our talks kind of go south

[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm getting borrreeeeeddd

[Snezana (Spring)] why can't they like small light stuff?!?!?!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well we could have brought them rabbits instead...

[Snezana (Spring)] okay let's move forward, but off to their right, our left

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] OK. I'll assume the three of us are following.

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] So, one sec

Thistle (Carissa) holds up hand to make L, confused, follows Snee's lead

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Kaeln Echem moved 1'00".

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Talwin moved 28'08".

[Snezana (Spring)] more left

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Talwin moved 6'02".

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Better?

[Snezana (Spring)] much better

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] The other three are probably with me right?

[Snezana (Spring)] maybe a little more

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] Talwin moved 1'01".

[Snezana (Spring)] Brer Necholas, Griff (dog), Snezana, Ghietjer and Thistle moved 26'11".

[Master] Sundown moved 24'06".

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) will you please join us and then we can all walk together to the chief?

Goblin #1 (Master) picks it up

Goblin #1 (Master) sniffs

Goblin #1 (Master) licks

[Snezana (Spring)] (g) I was worried the chief might be angry at you for stealing some of their boar, but if it's for safety ....

Goblin #1 (Master) shrugs

Goblin #1 (Master) bites into it

Goblin #1 (Master) chewing

Goblin #1 (Master) nodding

Goblin #3 (Master) BITES into his chunk

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (Bits and pieces and gore fly!)

[Ghietjer (TMO)] (you did put the mind control potion inside, right?)

[Talwin (mharm-05997)] (I'm glad they aren't spoiling the treasure for the chief)

[Griff (dog) (TMO)] (I am only 13 still, y'know)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (so can we do new actions again? or just... try again? or see if Snee yelling at them works)
