[Spring] hi hi

Ryan has received the map Base Map.

[Spring] hi Ryan!

[Ryan] Hello!

[Spring] we get the awards for Most Prompt. how are you?

[Master] Hello there

[Ryan] Doing well. How about yourself?

[Master] How are you both?

[Ryan] Hi hi hi

[Spring] I feel a little icky in the middle. may not play long depending

[Spring] might have eaten something disagreeable

[Master] Ryan one quick thing please roll a d10

[Master] you want a 10 if you can manage it

[Ryan] /roll 1d10

[Ryan] Oh, right

[Ryan] Uh...

[Ryan] (roll1d10) [1d10=7] -1

[Master] curly bracket

[Master] 1d10

[Master] end curly bracket

[Ryan] :) Took me a second.

[Spring] or the dice tool in the tool bar. but either way, he already rolled it

[Master] nah he can roll it properly

[Spring] LOL there's like 4 right ways

[Master] his result was a negative 1 because of the extra wording he used

[Spring] oooooh I see

[Ryan] Oh, I can roll again properly

[Ryan] (1d10) [1d10=2] 2

[Spring] four right ways, but a bunch more erroneous ones

[Spring] hi Valerie!

[Ryan] ....I prefer the first one, but k....

[Master] yes to Spring

[Master] Welcome to Val

[Ryan] Hello!

[Master] and ok to Ryan that cleans up the creating the mine portion from the previous mining thread

[valma-73412] Hi! I'm here earlier than usual, gotta leave at 9

[Master] you had a 10% chance of finding a vein that did not need to be smelted

[Master] excellent to have you while we can Val

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

[valma-73412] What am I jumping into? lol

[Master] This is the current working plan for tonight

[Spring] I like that we get to be here for whatever time we can manage

[Ryan] Snee just turned into a deva, and is passing out judgement.

[Ryan] Skarp was found unworthy, and disintegrated

[Ryan] We are calling it the Snappening

[Master] If you want to help out Val you can tell me what types of rock Silver and Iron are found in, and are they considered Hard or Soft rocks

[Spring] hahahahahaha

[Master] my little bit of research says Hard rock

[Master] but you and Carissa would know more than me

[Master] and Michael might know more than all of us but he will not be in tonight

[Ryan] Within the Earth, silver is formed from sulfur compounds. In the Earth’s crust, the temperature is very hot (approximately 200 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on how close you are to the planet’s mantle). The salt water that exists within the crust concentrates into a brine solution where silver remains dissolved. As the brine solution moves out of the seabed and into the cold seawater, silver will fall out of the solution as a mineral on the seafloor.

[valma-73412] Info on Silver in mining: https://mineralseducationcoalition.org/minerals-database/silver/

[Ryan] A rock containing silver will have a dark, almost sooty appearance or dark crystals within the rock. There are several different types of silver ore in the world depending on the geography. Some have gray spider-like veins running through the rocks, while others can be more gray or black in color. Silver can also be found mixed with quartz and ruby crystal formations. Silver and gold are often found together since they exist in the same base ore material.

[Spring] oooooo

[Master] I did a full workout up Excel for the mining like I did with the Construction sheets so we can have some easy low math way of determining the mining stuff

[Master] smiles yes to Ryan and Val thank you for those.... BUT .... is that Hard Rock? or Soft Rock?

[Master] my options on the Mining page are Very Soft, Soft and Hard

[Master] I am going with limestone as Very Soft

[Master] that seems to make sense

[valma-73412] Iron is in hard rock

[Master] Ok

[Master] that makes good guidelines

[Master] I know Iron is often found with Silver and Gold

[Master] so we can use that as the baseline for this area

[Spring] is it? I thought it came from igneous

[Spring] not that I’m educated or anything

[Master] Igneous is a hard rock though right?

[Master] you are Spring

[Spring] oh right, but the silver and gold would be in softer metamorphic

[Master] no short changing your self

[Ryan] Oh, I have never heard Spring called a hard rock, but I have faith in her

[Master] and Ryan knows lots of things

[Spring] I do know that the copper mine in Salt Lake county turns out a lot of silver as a by-product

[Ryan] Yeah, the same article mentioned the same.

[Ryan] Most silver is found as a trace element in other ores

[Spring] nugget nuggeta go the guitars

[Ryan] The main sources of silver are mined as an ore of copper, copper-nickel, lead, and lead-zinc. In nature, silver is more likely to be found as a compound. In 2014, there was estimated to be 26,800 metric tons of fine silver available in the world.

[Master] and our other data specialist

[Spring] hi carissa, hi Lisa

[Carissa] Hi all!

[Lisa] Hello! :)

[Ryan] You two are just in time. Snee went full destructive goddess, and is turning us into statues if we fail our rolls

[Spring] I think all that area used to be seabed

[Ryan] I turned into a silver statue when I failed (well, Skarp did)

[Spring] aren't those mountains tectonic breakage rather than anything volcanic?

[valma-73412] silver was harder to find but is in hard rock

[Spring] you don't get volcanic stuff until down around cedar city

[valma-73412] Hi Lisa!

[Spring] there is only zuuuuullll!

TMO has joined the game on Fri Dec 11 19:15:24 EST 2020

TMO is receiving the map Base Map...

[Master] Thank you all for that. It gives us a good understanding of the landscape of the northern Wastes now too

TMO has received the map Base Map.

[Spring] hi TMO!

[Ryan] Next time Snee asks if w are gods, we say YES

[TMO] good evening

[Ryan] Hello, TMO!

[valma-73412] Hi TMO

[Lisa] Hi TMO!

[Lisa] lol Ryan

[Ryan] I'm in the reckless portion of the semester :(

[Ryan] The part where I calculate how much I can skip out on and still pass

[Master] We have a normal game this week, next week is the end of year awards, then we miss one week for Christmas day.

[Carissa] Hi TMO!

[Master] I was planning on playing on New Years Day

[Master] as everyone WILL BE HOME

[valma-73412] awards?

[Master] NO GOING OUT

[Spring] as if

[Ryan] Eh, I've already had COVID

[Master] grins at Valerie you will find out

[Carissa] My toe is touching outside! I dare you to stop me.

[Ryan] And I rolled a 1 on Empathy, so I can afford to infect everyone else

[Spring] Ryan is that serious or joking?

[Ryan] I didn't actually roll for empathy, no

[Spring] oh, joking heh

[Master] Nyrma was exposed so I need to go get tested on Sunday

[Spring] hahaha

[Spring] ugh

[Carissa] Oh damn

[Ryan] I actually was infected, yes

[Master] most likely is nothing

[valma-73412] I hope you both stay well

[Master] thanks Val

[Ryan] Quarantine ended today

[Master] and very good Ryan

[Spring] several people I know hove developed the mild strain. I hope that's what all-a-y'all have

[valma-73412] I hope you're well too, Ryan

[Spring] if any

[TMO] I won't be surprised if we catch it, but I'm hoping we didn't. Officially, we're fine. Paranoically, I'm a bit concerned.

[Carissa] I hope for no sickness, but yeah, if you get it, let it be mild

[valma-73412] and Spring!

[Ryan] Eh, lost the ability to run, or walk, but otherwise doing fine

[Spring] at the RV park they're having a freaking potluck. RSVP=HELL NO

[Master] Lisa and I have talked about the idea that the 'mild' version can lead to losing smell and taste for who knows how long

[Master] That sucks Ryan

[Spring] geez Ryan

[Ryan] Hope things go well for you two :)

[Spring] yeah

[Carissa] Mild version can lead to being a long hauler with dysautonomia, specifically POTS. Not worth it if you can help it.

[TMO] meme I've seen a few times: If the upcoming masking and lockdown restrictions are going to impact your social life, you're the reason those rules are being put in place.

[Carissa] Friend of mine didn't even have symptoms, but did have antibodies, and now has nervous system issues.

[Master] 100% to TMO

[Spring] oh geez

[Ryan] President Trump says that having had COVID, I am now immortal

[Ryan] And now... I will bless everyone on Earth with the same...

[Spring] yeah he says things

[Carissa] Immortality would suck

[Master] OH did everyone hear? about 45 minutes ago the Supreme Court tossed all lawsuits about the elections

[Spring] especially in his physical state

[Master] saying that they were all moot

[Ryan] Immortality, not invulnerability. Enjoy....

[Carissa] FINALLY

[Spring] I did not hear

[TMO] I knew they tossed the ridiculous TX one

[valma-73412] I heard :-)

[Carissa] But the silver-lining is now EVERYONE knows what a POS Paxton is! I don't think anyone outside of Texas realized it

[Lisa] even his own court picks won't vote for him

[Master] nope

[Carissa] OH!

[Spring] I knew it was over when Barr said it was over. he's one of the worst rats

[Carissa] The other good news. I won't be furloughed for at least one more week!

[Carissa] All we do is win win today.

[Spring] heh

[Master] and Thomas only dissented because his opinion is the Court cannot turn down an intra state dispute

[Ryan] Apparently the UT Attorney General joined in and was immediately disowned by his own Governor

[Spring] I hope the "at least" gets pushed further and further into the future

[Carissa] Good. Too many AGs joined. Let them all be disowned.

[Master] very glad Carissa

[Master] SO tonight we got the first part done

[Carissa] You know, I just can't wait to work for an administration again where I don't have to constantly prepare for shutdowns.

[Master] Now the next is how to deal with this mine

[Carissa] I shipped off a goat brain today even without proper paperwork because I did NOT want it sitting in my truck for five weeks

[Carissa] Anyways.

[Master] you have what ever creative options you can come up with

[Spring] it was supremely weird when all the scientific agencies had to create alt accounts just to talk about science

[Lisa] lol Carissa

[Ryan] So... Operation Silver Golem Body Transfer has official DM approval

[Master] WOW to Carissa

[Lisa] good decision

[Spring] and wow about the brain

[Carissa] I got stuck with a sheep brain last shutdown. I left it at the office at least back then because I could go into the office, lol

[Ryan] I... realize that I don't actually know what Carissa does for a living

[Master] see Valerie, this is what real scientists do

[Spring] SCIENC!!!

[Ryan] Or... possibly hobbies?

[Spring] goddammit, I cannot type

[Carissa] LOL and now I won't tell you so your imagination can run wild.

[Ryan] Well, then I look forward to your department having the first goat/dog hybrid

[Spring] I only sort of think I know.

[TMO] add to your notes that it involves part-time mailing of goat brains.

[Spring] wildlife epidemiology?

[Carissa] I'll name it after you, Ryan!

[Ryan] Neat!

[Carissa] Livestock, mostly, but sometimes we do wildlife stuff

[Master] OK so bringing this back full circle

[TMO] turning full 720

[Master] Carissa has two new characters to introduce tonight

[Ryan] (Ryan quickly deletes a comment hinting he works the red light district)

[Spring] oh ok. I got the impression of wildlife when thy almost wanted you for some disease going around in California but then you didn't have to go

[Carissa] (lol)

[Carissa] (and I did go once, and it sucked, so I didn't want to go again, but that one was chickens)

[Master] and you have a mine to figure out how to explore and then exploit/run

[Spring] (oh)

[Carissa] (no offense to Lisa, that was fun at least gaming with you)

[Spring] (chickens are usually not wild)

[Carissa] (just the work people part sucked)

[Carissa] (ehhh but they can be feral, but getting off topic again, lol)

[Master] and you have 6 characters here until the 2 new ones show up

[TMO] Video Series: Chicks Gone Wild!!!!

[Ryan] (I want to buy 100 chickens and release them into the wild just to prove Spring wrong)

[Spring] hahahahaha!

[Master] People being feral sounds like a real problem

[Carissa] (If you Google that, it won't be what you think)

[Spring] what if my family is attacked by 30 to 50 feral chickens?!?!

[Carissa] (Sadly I can't employ my normal techniques for feral things...)

[Ryan] (I can lend a shovel if you need it, Carissa)

[valma-73412] I looked away for like 2 minutes...that was a lot to digest lol

[Carissa] (New hobby!)

[TMO] another meme: "The existence of the description 'Domestic Housewife' implies the existence of the 'Feral Housewife' and my wife now has a new career goal."

[Spring] oh I love that one

[Carissa] (nice)_

[Master] and so in a weird way all this conversation ties in with : You have this new space, not enough workers, and you need to figure out how to make it last long term and who what will you recruit and you need to come up with plans

[Spring] my new favorite "tender and mild" implies the existence of a tough and spicy baby

[Master] and GO

[valma-73412] Urban Dictionary: feral housewife the slutty bratty wife, doesn’t have kids and they party and have crazy mind blowing sex all the time.

[Ryan] I say we put the wild chicks to work

[TMO] (I saw that one today Spring)

[Ryan] I hear that TMO has experience in this

[Carissa] (GO, but not outside, apparently)

[Spring] workers

[Spring] and we know we can't use goblins unless we want to kill them

[Ryan] Do we have more expendable goblin tribes?

[Carissa] Anyways, advertisement! There's got to be more bored people in Dragon Fen? Or Loosend? Or somewhere?

[Ryan] I keep pushing for necromancy, but I don't think I have any supporters

[Spring] or if we use them, we can only use them once because they promptly expire

[Ryan] Then necromancy!

[Spring] well yeah

[Carissa] Offer the miners better than what the Quellcons are paying. Not our fault if they're stiffin them

[Master] counterpoint to Carissa: Advertise how? and then sit here and wait for who and how long for them to arrive before you leave?

[Spring] it's just so old-fashioned around here to keep returning to necromancy

[Lisa] one thought - you need short people since mine short - maybe make a deal with a gnome village? Give them 15% to work it?

[Carissa] Hire Jilly. She'll figure that out.

[Carissa] OH! Duh

[Master] LOL to Carissa

[Master] and Yes to Lisa

[Carissa] Didn't Brother come from a mining village?

[valma-73412] Offer incentives for people who relocate?

[Carissa] ..Foto not brother

[Carissa] Meaning there may be a gnome village nearby for us to find

[Master] for remembering there is a Gnome Mining village nearby

[Spring] right

Carissa is receiving the map Hillside 1...

[Master] about 5 miles away

Carissa has received the map Hillside 1.

[Carissa] So... we go talk to them? They like halflings, right? Kenna can cook them a delicious meal and win them over

[Master] yes to leaving to go talk to them, please? thank you

[Master] /bob readies a new goblin group to take over the mine again

[Spring] and we have a couple of gnomes with us who can help with diplomacy

[TMO] was just going to say that

[Spring] yeah

[Ryan] I was also going to say that

[Spring] the hold portion of the clear and hold plan

[Spring] because we don't have enough people to hold

[Carissa] How far a walk is five miles? We can.. split the party if we need.

[Master] I will let you discuss brb

[Carissa] Er, remind me the potion plan?

[Spring] there's a potion plan?

[Master] 5 miles there and back is 10 miles and a human can walk 24 miles per day

[Ryan] Okay, now that he is gone... Spring, did you slip you-know-what into BOB's drink as part of Operation Overthrow?

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Ryan] Oh, wait, I spoke too soon!

[Spring] oh crap, that was supposed to be me?

[Ryan] Shoooooot

[Spring] I thought Carissa was gonna do it

[Ryan] Who would we NEED to have here to evaluate the mine?

[Ryan] If we were to split the party (well, split it even more than we already have)

[Spring] all the on-site evaluating that can be done has already been done

[Carissa] I was running late! Didn't you get my text?

[Spring] the samples have to be taken back for analysis

[Ryan] So, mostly need guards to scare off poachers and the odd goblin

[Spring] but we have to leave people here to keep goblins out

[Lisa] thought Bob said it was silver

[Spring] or we have to figure out a way to keep them out.

[valma-73412] he asked about silver and iron

[Ryan] Skarp is in favor of killing any remaining goblins and can stick around

[Spring] we did have some preliminary findings, I thought we needed to do more? maybe not

[Spring] I have a crazy idea

[Carissa] I wouldn't think a five mile trip would take long? As long as it's someone who can hold their own. Or hide the mine. Anyone have the ability to do that? An illusion>

[Spring] I have a really truly insane idea that could work

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Spring] but it might make it hard to mine

[Ryan] Skarp can disguise himself as a dwarf, and an ugly human child. Does that count?

[Carissa] Go on

[TMO] the original plan had been to find a mine to relocate the goblins under Skull Church to

[Carissa] lol Ryan

[Spring] I have a spell called hallucinatory forest

[Ryan] Okay, he puts on a burlap sack, and... oh, you meant Spring.

[TMO] I'm assuming the richness of this mine has changed that plan?

[Spring] oh wait, that might be Snee

[Spring] crap, now, I have to look at spells

[Carissa] I think we were worried about killing goblins. But, yeah, they might just steal from the mine now, too.

[Spring] but if I have it, I can turn this mine into a seeming forest and the goblins won't want it

[Master] Very fun idea Spring

[valma-73412] are we a different group now?

[Carissa] Yes

[Master] Yes to Valerie this is the Mining Thread

[Spring] let me see if Kenna has it

[TMO] hey, what was that spell that turned us into trees? Can we change all the goblins into trees?

[Master] no to TMO different spell

[Carissa] There's a spell for a priest to turn themselves into trees. Think you need a wizard for others to be trees.

[Spring] crap, no it's Snee who has hallucinatory forest and Kenna does not

[Carissa] Actually, question: do we know how the goblins got in? Was it the same way we got in?

[Master] Yes to Carissa about walking to the gnome village and back in a half a day for a human, 10 miles is easy, for a gnome (small creature) that would take up most of the day to walk there and back

[TMO] bbs

[Master] No to Carissa you have not determined that at all

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Spring] the ones we followed came int eh same way we did

[Master] which is why this conversation

[Spring] but we don't know about the others

[Lisa] you can leave Tiberius to guard the mine

[Carissa] So maybe that's what we need to do first. Figure out how the goblins found this mine.

[Lisa] they're all dead

[Lisa] speak with dead goblin spell?

[Master] Speak with Dead works if you speak their language

[Carissa] I meant looking around. Maybe there's another entrance we don't know exists which might matter if Tiberius is suddenly swamped by a whole tribe.

[Spring] oh wait!

[Master] a point for Valerie and Spring to remember for Hourglass

[Master] Yes to Carissa too

[Spring] Kenna DOES have it, it just wasn't searchable

[valma-73412] what should I remember? speaking to the dead?

[Carissa] Dwarf has stone knowledge, yes?

[Spring] When this spell is cast, a hallucinatory forest comes into existence. The illusionary forest appears to be perfectly natural and is indistinguishable from a real forest. Priests attuned to the woodlands--as well as such creatures as centaurs, dryads, green dragons, nymphs, satyrs, and treants--recognize the forest for what it is. All other creatures believe it is there, and movement and order of march are affected accordingly. Touching the illusory growth neither affects the magic nor reveals its nature. The hallucinatory forest remains until it is magically dispelled by a reverse of the spell or a dispel magic spell. The area shape is either roughly rectangular or square, in general, and at least 40 feet deep, in whatever location the caster desires. The forest can be of less than maximum area if the caster wishes. One of its edges can appear up to 80 yards away from the caster.

[Master] Yes to Val

[Spring] effect is permanent unless specifically dispelled

[Master] Val as part of your issues with Hourglass

[Ryan] Skarp mostly has detect abilities

[Ryan] For underground.

[valma-73412] cool forest idea since it can be dismissed

[Spring] Kenna also has tongues

[Carissa] (There's a permanent hallucinatory forest around Valoris)

[Master] excellent

[Lisa (to Master only)] isn't this a waste area? wouldn't a forest look weird and actually make people want to investigate?

[Spring] so if we need her to cast tongues and speak with dead, she could ask the dead goblins how they got in

[Master (to Lisa only)] this is also true

[Spring] or I guess one goblin

[Carissa] Er, again, I think dwarf has an easy skill to check stone work or something that might help?

[Lisa] the fake forest is around a real forest there

[Ryan] There it is

[Ryan] Detect New Tunnel or Passage Construction

[Ryan] Closest I have

[Master] and I will give Lisa a memory check,

[Lisa] Roll #1: (d20) [1d20=4] 4

[Master] and yes to Ryan that is very useful in this case

[Master] and Lisa remembers that there was a dispute with the Gnomes when she was setting up Dragon Fen, Branwyn had to deal with an encounter where the gnomes had illusionary trees that the new farmers would try to harvest and then complain that the gnomes stole them from them when they disappeared

[Spring] heh that would be a problem

[Lisa] oh yes there was a tree dispute

[Master] Not that Lisa needed to be reminded of that, ;)

[Lisa] I was only thinking if I saw a forest in the middle of the wastes I would want to go there

[Spring] I just had another thought

[Master] very good Spring :)

[Spring] if we ask a goblin how he got in, how's he gonna give an answer we even understand

[Ryan] Is it if a tree falls in a wasteland, does it make a sound?

[Ryan] (Dang, too late in the punchline)

[Spring] "that tunnel over there"?

[Spring] "the hole next to the chestnut tree"

[Spring] "the cave where thorel stubbed his toe that time"

[Master] That is a good line of reasoning to walk through Spring, where do you ask him what questions about what

[Master] when you look at the spell the Dead tend to be evasive

[Master] you want to make sure they have very specific questions that have clear answers

[Spring] true fact. plus who knows how goblins navigate

[Spring] turn right when you smell schist?

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[TMO] sorry, what am I smelling again?

[Spring] five miles of quartsz and then left?

[Spring] heh

[Spring] speak with dead offers limited questions and even more limited answers

[Master] BOB's overview; Tonight is working out how the group will deal with mine(s) in the future as you will want to look for more, Skarp can tell you it is rare one lasts for more than a year) and how you will organize things, who to hire, etc. so Skarp does not end up managing the mining operations for the group, etc.

[Spring] you have a hard time with "who killed you"

[Ryan] Yeah, then you have to figure out if they said, "You did it," or "Hugh did it"

[Ryan] I saw that movie. It was rough.

Spring gestures at Ryan

Ryan grins.

[Master] Right now you have Tiffress as your primary NPC person to deal with mines

[Master] you need actual workers

[Ryan] Skarp can stick around defending the mine and helping to scout it out until you get actual workers.

[Spring] may I propose we put the forest in and forget about interrogating corpses?

[Master] and preferably at least a person to be in charge of This Mine someone else to be in charge of the Potential Other Mine and someone to be in charge of Smelting all the goods from all the mines

[TMO] just don't dig too deep, you dwarf

[Master] LOL with TMO

[Spring] LOL TMO

Ryan glares

[Ryan] A dwarf knows there isn't such thing as "too deep"

[Spring] you want balrogs? because that’s how we get balrogs

[Ryan] I'm pretty sure one of us is salty about not capturing a dragon... would a balrog make up for it?

[Spring] omg these dogs

[Ryan] No, balrogs

[Ryan] They sound similar, but are quite different.

[Carissa] Ehh, it's a good start

[TMO] ball dogs?

[Ryan] TMO understands

[valma-73412] sorry guys, gotta go earlier than expected. Good luck!

valma-73412 has left the game on Fri Dec 11 19:52:46 EST 2020

[Master] doh missed her

[Master] have fun !

Lara has joined the game on Fri Dec 11 19:53:18 EST 2020

Lara is receiving the map Base Map...

Lara has received the map Base Map.

[Master] Spring has Kenna, Ryan has Skarp I am Tiberius, TMO has Potoma and Lisa has Johan until Michael shows up if he does

[Master] for in character conversations

[Carissa] Hi Lara!

[Carissa] (Tiffress is around, too)

[Master] and Lara can also use Potoma instead of TMO as he is flexible

[Lara] hi Carissa

[Ryan] Oh, hi Lara!

[Master] DOH

[Master] yes

[Lara] hi Ryan

[Master] Lara with Potoma and TMO with Tiff

[Lara] hi BOB

[Spring] sorry I had to go have a wrestle

[Spring] hi Lara!

[Ryan] To catch you up, Tiffress found a phylactery, and is now a demi-lich. She has raised the goblins, and killed Skarp in a surprise attack. No one else knows, so don't tell them.

[Lara] hi Spring!

[Master] Laughs with Ryan

[Spring] I hope that got everybody's zoomies out for a minute

[TMO] (Bob then frantically scribbles some notes)

[Lara] half of what you said, I didn't even understand

[Master] Lara only understands about 1/4 of that

[Lara] make that 1/4

[Ryan] Tiff found an artifact of evil, and is now crazy necromancer lady. She killed Skarp

[Master] Very nicely done Ryan

[Lara] SERIOUSLY!?

[Master] and LOL

[Spring] nope

[Master] again VERY nicely done Ryan

[Spring] Ryan is very good with alternate narratives

[Lara] alright then. who do we have left and what are we doing with them?

[TMO] pate

[Lara] I’m not sure that pate means the same thing in the game than in real life

[Lisa] Hi Lara! sorry late with my hello :)

[Lara] hi Lisa!

[Spring] "Spring has Kenna, Ryan has Skarp I am Tiberius, TMO has Potoma and Lisa has Johan until Michael shows up if he does " also Tiffress and Potoma

[Lara] which map should I be on?

[Spring] oh Potoma was there

[Master] the two maps for the evening

[TMO] I was off Potoma for a bit, not sure where I am yet

[Master] and while the group is inside dealing with goblins

[Lisa] so TMO is Johan and Lara is Potoma like last week?

[Master] Carissa

[Master] ready or now

[Master] not

[Lara] hi TMO

[Carissa] Uh no clue. Doesn't seem like we have a plan yet?

[TMO] Hi Lara!

[Spring] a proposal, no plan

[Master] John and Potoma are outside

[Master] along with Tiberius

[Carissa] What was the proposal?

[Spring] I propose we forget speaking with corpses

[Carissa] Yes

[Carissa] I saw that

[TMO] Johan grumps.

[Spring] I propose casting forest up in here

[Lara] did we leave that mine? we're done right?

[TMO] (Ready and in-character!)

[Spring] then going to speak with the gnomes

[Carissa] Did you still want Skarp to give the mine a good look, though?

[Spring] nah we are in the mine

[Lara] I’m Potoma?

[Master] No to leaving the mine yes to Potoma

[Spring] dunno, do we want to scout the mine now or after we get back and dispel the forest?

[Master] and run with it

[Master] now jumping INTO CHARACTER

[Carissa] Just thinking before anyone leaves it might be worth seeing if there's another entrance or something missed

[Carissa] *before a party split

[Master] Raelynn moved 12'10".

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] may I suggest

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] may I suggest that I cast a forest spell to conceal this mine

Johan the Apprentice (TMO) looks around. "Can you blend it with the existing flora?"

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] then we can visit the gnomes to see if they are willing to work here, and we can go back for reinforcements to scout and hold it

[Master] Kenna Tiff and Skarp standing in the entrance to the mine the rest a short distance away

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs. "I don't know enough about spell-slingers to know if that would work. Couldn't hurt, though."

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] yes, the forest should mesh with the local area

[Master] and then off to the edge of the ravine

[Master] Raelynn moved 8'08".

[Master] N'laea moved 4'11".

[Master] Carisa stage left

[Carissa] (waiting for an opening :P)

Lara looks around

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] it needs only to fool goblins

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Would still want a guard or two left here to warn off any adventurers or goblins.

Potoma (Lara) looks around

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Skarphedin are you suggesting that it be you?

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs again.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Wouldn't feel bad if I had to put down some more gobbos.

[Master (to Carissa only)] the idea that the forest will blend in to conceal things might be an opening

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Plus, I still have my stone sense about me, which is more than what I can say about most of you Uplanders.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Johan, Lord Tiberius, would either of you want to stay with him?

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] Do.. uh.. do dwarves call themselves Downlanders?

[Carissa (to Master only)] Thinking on it. Just been awhile since I had to introduce anyone :P

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Staying for an adventure is the entire reason I came along

[Potoma (Lara)] Potoma moved 7'01".

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) looking at Skarp, now curious

Potoma (Lara) wanders over to a nearby bush

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] was he joking?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] No, we call ourselves sensible.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I would think they say Insiders

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] hahaha

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Only the insane would live somewhere without solid stone above them.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] they are inside the earth right?

Potoma (Lara) inspects and decides it is native to the area

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (er, do we know about the gnomes in character? I forgot)

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] 9yes)

N'laea (Carissa) tsks, "Where dwarves belong."

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (it must be hilarious mremoving my tpos from the logs)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (shots fired!)

Lord Tiberius (Master) perks up

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) turns to the voice

Potoma (Lara) looks around and cringes

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Wait, does Lisa remove the typos?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (yes, she catches most of them)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] er, friend or foe?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we are not hostile but not helpless

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] Doesn't sound friendly.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Depends. Are you the cause of this mist?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] I dn't thnk yoo kno much aboot dwarvs if yuu think we cal arrselves Insidrs.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (LOL Ryan!)

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] The MIST??

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Actually, Lisa terrifies me so I am going to stop doing that.)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lol poor Lisa)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (LOLOL)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] no, we definitely have nothing to do with the mist

[N'laea (Carissa)] (you'd probably deserve whatever happens to you if you keep doing that, though)

[N'laea (Carissa)] No, I would not expect it. Only that dwarf there might be old enough to cause it.

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I wish we could be rid of it. made me hideously sick when I got here

[N'laea (Carissa)] Ah, then possible ally.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I am Kenna Westfoot, late of Dragon's Fen

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea.

[Master (to Ryan only)] you should know for OOC and IC the mining page information http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Mining

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] well met

[N'laea (Carissa)] You are from here then? You know of the forest nearby?

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] Johan the Apprentice, Potoma and Lord Tiberius moved 20'06".

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] Johan the Apprentice moved 5'03".

[Master (to Ryan only)] and the part that is important is the Type of Mines and Overseeing the Mine

Skarphedin (Ryan) squints. "Oh, you are new. Hello.... N'laea, was it?"

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] some. woodcraft is not my focus

N'laea (Carissa) gives Skarp a sharp nod

[Master (to Ryan only)] as you will be the character that deals with the overseeing the various people that are hired to run the mines, even if Skarp has no mining skills :)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I am a healer in the church at Dragons Fen, at your service

Potoma (Lara) nods quietly and observes the introductions

[N'laea (Carissa)] I was sent to check the health of it. It is... we wonder what's come of it with this Mist.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (not sure if I should introduce everyone, you might want to be private)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I hope it is not poorly. I think the mist is a wizard creation from long ago, yes?

[Master (to Lisa only)] LOL that was funny about the editing

Johan the Apprentice (TMO) nods cautiously.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Only a few decades. My parents have memories of it before this abomination.

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) turns to Potoma

Potoma (Lara) looks at Kenna

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] professor, any thoughts about the mist and whether it might hurt the forest?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (sorry, powerfully distracted)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (the wrestle match did not satisfy the dogs)

[Potoma (Lara)] I do not see any damage

[N'laea (Carissa)] (no worries, got inundated with messages right as this is happening because it couldn't be before... but still here)

[Master (to Lara only)] feel free to ask Carissa about potential issues, she is a scientist

[Master (to Carissa only)] Lara might ask questions or feel free to feed her responses

[Potoma (Lara) (to Carissa only)] (should I come up with something?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we were just thinking where to go next

[N'laea (Carissa) (to Lara only)] Up to you. I imagined Potoma came from somewhere else, so she could be learning, too

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we are on an exploratory mission

[Potoma (Lara)] "the mist"

[N'laea (Carissa) (to Lara only)] So you can always instead toss out things like, "Well the leaves seem less green but it could be this area or something like that, vague ideas)

[Potoma (Lara)] (whoops)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Oh?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (and I dunno if we want to finish planning in front of strange elves)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (You only see one right now)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (a strange elf)

[Master] N'laea moved 42'01".

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we do not have a lot of information about this land

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) gestures at Tiffress

[N'laea (Carissa)] What information are you missing? There's goblins galore, plenty of boars. Nothing too unusual here otherwise.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] my companions are making a catalog of resources, the land and the living things

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) gestures again at Potoma

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) nodding

Potoma (Lara) nods "Yes, I am taking note of anything unusual first."

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the goblins we have found

[N'laea (Carissa)] Perhaps you need help?

[Master (to Ryan only)] Skarp recognizes the accent as being from the Central Mountains similar to what he heard from the uplander elves back home

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] more knowledge never goes amiss

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I think we will next visit the nearby gnomes

[Potoma (Lara)] Perhaps we can have a conversation about the local landscape

[N'laea (Carissa)] I'd happy to be of assistance.

N'laea (Carissa) abruptly turns around and yells, "SO YOU CAN STOP FOLLOWING ME AND HELP THEM INSTEAD!"

Skarphedin (Ryan) narrows eyes.

[Master (to Lara only)] the elf mentioned her parents knew this place before the Mist, that would be at least 75 years ago and she does not look old

[N'laea (Carissa)] TAKE OFF THAT DAMN CLOAK! I KNOW YOU'RE STILL THERE!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I am not!

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) looks bewildered

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] What?

Potoma (Lara) opens eyes wide

[N'laea (Carissa)] If I have to yank it off you again I WILL!

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) whispers does she look like she has a fever?

Raelynn (Carissa) sighs and takes hood off cloak revealing a half-elf

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Fineeeee

[Master] Raelynn moved 41'02".

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh!

Potoma (Lara) smiles

Raelynn (Carissa) gives the group a cheerful smile, "Hello!"

Potoma (Lara) nods

Skarphedin (Ryan) bemused. "The ability of humans to look at another species and say, yeah, I'm going to breed with that, never ceases to amaze me."

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Do invisible elves count as people we are supposed to attack?

Raelynn (Carissa) gives a small curtsey, "Raelynn, Priestess of Hanali, at your service."

N'laea (Carissa) frowns, "She is only half."

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) stifling a laugh

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] So only half an attack?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Only half at our service?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I told you that's not nice to say! I'm just as worth of elf things as you!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] well met, Raelynn

[Master] Lord Tiberius: Attack: Thorn: ((12-(d20+2))+2) [1d20=4] 8 [MODIFIED (+2)]

N'laea (Carissa) raises brow

[Raelynn (Carissa)] EEEK!

Potoma (Lara) frowns at Tiberius

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] boys, now

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Gonna have to do a text color change here after all this)

Raelynn (Carissa) whips cloak back over and mostly disappears

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) sighs

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I bet I know her nemesis

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Moths

N'laea (Carissa) muttering to herself, "Why in the hells you thought you should keep following..."

[N'laea (Carissa)] It is not, actually.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Hey, Raelynn! You still have a pimple on your face.

Johan the Apprentice (TMO) mutters to himself, "More priests?"

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] before we get much further ....

Raelynn (Carissa) shrieks again and pulls cloak tighter around her

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) looking at my friends

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] are we agreed on the proposal?

Potoma (Lara) nods in agreement

Skarphedin (Ryan) shrugs. "Don't see any reason not to."

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Which Proposal?

[Potoma (Lara)] (Skraph staying?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] if so I will go inside and do the thing and be right back out

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Skarp can stay)

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] If Skarp stays to adventure I am staying to adventure

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] good plan

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] be right back

[N'laea (Carissa)] Are you not going to heal your friend, first?

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) pops into the cave

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Kenna Westfoot casts a spell against : Hallucinatory Forest: I create a permanent, illusionary forest.

[Master] OK so a forest springs up around the entrance to the mine

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) comes back out

N'laea (Carissa) looks around, "Interesting..."

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] of the forest

[Master] 1 - you did not explore the mine to see how far back it goes, etc.

Potoma (Lara) turns to N'laea

[Master] 2 - Who is staying here with the mine while you go find other people/gnomes to help

[Master] brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

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

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (Johan has metalworking skills, so should he need to stay with the sample?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (2 we decided Skarp and Ty)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (but 1 is true)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I thought he sample was coming with Tiff)

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

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (so if Skarp and/or ty have some string or rope or something, they may want to explore while they are here0

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (see if they get on the other side of the forest and are still in a mine?)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (I don't think I have rope. I also realize that I am still wearing Hoffman's Borrowed Chainmail... so I may want to replace that at some point.)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] it should be 360 square feet

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I have bandages, but not enough for that)

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I guess 360 square feet is not a lot of forest)

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] 60x6

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (it's pretty small for a house)

[Master] To be clear Spring is the magical forest around the OUTSIDE of the mine? or INSIDE of the cave and the mine?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (Inside)

[Master] ok

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (the idea is to make the cave entirely unappealing to goblins)

[Master] Skarphedin moved 1'11".

[Master] Lord Tiberius moved 10'06".

[Master] Kenna Westfoot moved 7'02".

[Master] Tiffress Wildwander moved 8'05".

[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 5'06".

[Master] Potoma moved 5'11".

[Master] Raelynn moved 7'02".

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I am hoping that part of the illusion is simulated sunshine and fresh air etc.)

[Master] understand that take on it

[Master] OK so splitting the group into two

[Master] Skarp and Tiberius

[Master] then the rest are heading to the gnome village

[Spring] roger roger

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Sounds good)

[Potoma (Lara)] (got it)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Raelynn casts a spell against : Orison: I can create minor effects.

[N'laea (Carissa)] (give that to Skarp)

[Master] how many?

[N'laea (Carissa)] (trying to remember, lol one sec)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (only 4 but better than none)

[Spring] (ioh shoot, totally forgot)

[Master] Skarphedin's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 37 (4) - Moderately Wounded

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Thank you!)

[N'laea (Carissa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Raelynn modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Master] warm smile at Spring, that is part of this story arc Spring and Michael learning and doing Leadership things that Lisa normally does

[Spring] Kenna Westfoot casts a spell against : Orison: I can create minor effects.

[Spring] Kenna Westfoot casts a spell against : Orison: I can create minor effects.

Raelynn (Carissa) whispers, "I don't think dwarves are as bad as N'laea says!"

[Spring] (that’s 18 more)

[Master] Skarphedin's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 55 (18) - Lightly Wounded

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Thank you.

Skarphedin (Ryan) stretches lightly, testing his range of movement.

[Master] So Skarp and Tiberius are inside the mine now

[Master] the rest of the group is outside

[Master] it is midday

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (so we can reach the village by night?)

[Master] Kenna cannot back it back and forth by night fall you will have to stay at the village overnight

[Master] so that you have a frame of reference

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] so, our new friends, we are away to see the gnomes. would you like to come?

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Spring is Spring, not Kenna)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Never mind)

Johan the Apprentice (TMO) mutters to himself, "new friends...?)

N'laea (Carissa) shrugs, "May as well. Or do those two need help while you're gone?"

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I screw that up like 50% of the time)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] need help? likely not, but they may get on each other's nerves

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] they probably would not mind company if you wished to stay

[Potoma (Lara)] brb

[Lara] I am away from the keyboard.

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Just an offer if you think you want more protection for the mine overnight)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (But will let you decide)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (and will work with it)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (dunno if I want strangers with the smaller party)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Fair)

[N'laea (Carissa)] If not, I'll come make sure Raelynn does not get into trouble. Again.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (but I don't wanna be bossing strangers around either lol)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (nah, was more asking what Spring wants not Kenna, but we'll go with this)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh haha!)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] you are most welcome at our fire

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] both of you

[Lisa] (you are so easy!)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] let us away ere break of day!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (my kid used to think that had to do with air brakes)

[Lara] I am back at the keyboard.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Another adventure! Oh I wonder what we'll see!

[Master] Potoma, N'laea, Johan the Apprentice, Kenna Westfoot, Raelynn and Tiffress Wildwander moved 100'11".

[Master] (Same map just off a few miles away)

[Master] as you approach the Gnome Village

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (anybody remember if Johan looked at the sample from the mine last week?)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (No clue but I thought we knew silver and that was the main part?)

[Lisa] (no he did not)

[Lisa] (characters did not leave the mine last week)

[Potoma (Lara)] (darnit, I have to steps away again)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (no worries)

[Lara] I am away from the keyboard.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I just huffed some coleslaw by accident)

[Master (to GM only)] Scorpion #1 moved 7'03".

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (Johan has no offensive spells memorized- can he try to help remove the stinger?)

[Master] and yes to Lisa

[Master] and up to you TMO

Johan the Apprentice (TMO) tries to pull the stinger back and hold it.

[Master] Potoma first then Johan

[Lisa] (Potoma is there too with no weapons or spells - the two can try?)

[Master] Go for it

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (oh, action was on me. Go Potoma)

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (oh, I'm Potoma too, right? ;) )

[Potoma (Lisa)] (whatever you want)

[Potoma (TMO)] (oh, Lisa is Potoma - you do it!)

[Potoma (Lisa)] (just didn't want her to get skipped since we have a 0 char)

[Potoma (TMO)] (tonight is working out just the way my week did)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (yes please don't let the new character die)

[Master] Combat has finished.

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] Umm... is she poisoned?

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) takes a look

[Potoma (Lisa)] looks to see if she has any venom on her hands from yanking on a scorpion

[Spring] Kenna Westfoot targets Raelynn. Distance: 3'02"

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Kenna Westfoot casts a spell against Raelynn: Slow Poison: Poison doesn't take further effect for the next (9) 9 hours.

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Diagnostics check?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (lemme guess, too late. probably too late if I did it on my turn)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (since no roll against poison, hope it was a dry sting)

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

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (there's a thought)

[Potoma (Lisa)] (is Potoma a human?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (yes)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I thought gnome)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (whoops)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Tiff is gnome)

[Master] The spell Slow Poison does work to save Raelynn

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (for some reason I thought they both ere)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (holy crap! first time for everything)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Good)

[Master] She is still poisoned but it is delayed

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Maybe the gnomes have something)

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (Does Potoma the herbalist have any poison antidotes?)

[Master] and Raelynn is at 0 so if she had spells would not be at negatives to lose them

[Master] but she is not conscious

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh son of a gun! Kenna’s got Neutralize Poison!)

[Master] on the verge

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Ah needs healing too to be conscious, right?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I’d have used that if I knew)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (always next morning for that)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh no, it doesn't work this way)

[Potoma (Lisa)] (did Potoma get poisoned too?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (neutralize poison renders a venomous creature inert)

[Master] no to Lisa only if the stinger stabs into you

[Potoma (Lisa)] (thx)

[Master] so welcome to the group Raelynn!

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Yeahhh. If she didn't survive, well, let's just say it's good she did)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] "This spell can prevent death in a poisoned creature if cast before death occurs." whew never mind, I can use it

[Potoma (Lisa)] (Mario would be thinking you were trying to break his record)

N'laea (Carissa) gently slaps Raelynn, "Hey. Wake up."

[Master] LOL

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (the spell description is confusing)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (might get him back in to hold on to his record then!)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (N'laea uses Punch. It is super-effective)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Kenna, was it? Can you get her to wake up?

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Raelynn modified: Personal Information - Experience:: CHANGED: 3022 (4500).

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I can neutralize the poison in her

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I do not know yet if I can wake her

[N'laea (Carissa)] (quick clarification: Bob, does she need healing to wake up?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Kenna Westfoot casts a spell against Raelynn: Neutralize Poison: Poison is neutralized.

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I thought there was something about at 0 needs healing or something to be conscious)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Thank you.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (me too Carissa)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (it's like you can only do limited healing and then they have to rest first before they can have more?)

[Master] yes to needing healing

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (have never fully understood it)

[Master] yes to needing something for the poison

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Spell should have removed poison)

[Master] so the poison is taken care of

[N'laea (Carissa)] (but still needs healing)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (does it need to be a spell or can it be a NWP?)

[Master] healing from zero to more than that is good

[Master] healing from negatives to more than zero means walking wounded

[Master] you saved her from falling into negatives

[Master] needs to be a spell

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Kenna Westfoot casts a spell against Raelynn: Cure Moderate Wounds: You're healed (-1d10-1) [1d10=8] -9 points.

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

[Master] for Raelynn it is SLAM get hit by stinger, then fall down and suddenly wake up with some HP feeling wounded but ok after the two spells

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Kenna Westfoot casts a spell against Raelynn: Orison: I can create minor effects.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] 9 to Raelynn

[Master] Raelynn's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 18 (9) - Lightly Wounded

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh! You're really good at this! Mmm, what is your title?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Aunt Kenna, but some call me Auntie

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] my best work is in the hospital though

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I have some really good long-term .... techniques

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh! Many thanks, Auntie! If I remember right, that means you're quite far in your church!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (evading saying "recipes")

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol)

Raelynn (Carissa) carefully stands up

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I would love to hear about it sometimes. Mmm, maybe not out here, though.

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) smiling

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Thank you again, Auntie.

Raelynn (Carissa) curtsies

Raelynn (Carissa) and promptly positions herself behind N'laea

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] most welcome. sorry not to heal you all the way, but the day is still long yet

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] several of us are yet injured

Raelynn (Carissa) nods in understanding

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I'm not quite as good as you, but I do know what it is to be patient.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (movin' right along, gunga dung gunga dung)

[Master] late in the day you approach the gnome mining village

[Master] Johan the Apprentice, N'laea, Kenna Westfoot, Potoma, Raelynn and Tiffress Wildwander moved 15'01".

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] This is a village?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] https://youtu.be/Q6NQcO9KTBY

Giant Badger #6 (Master) digs

Giant Badger #6 (Master) roots around

[Raelynn (Carissa) (to Master only)] qualifies as woodland?

[Master (to GM only)] Gnome #2 moved 2'01".

[Gnome #2 (Master)] HEY

[Gnome #2 (Master)] STOP

[Gnome #2 (Master) (to Carissa only)] yes

[Master] Giant Badger #6 moved 1'06".

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the badger should stop or we should?

[Master] Giant Badger #6 moved 3'02".

[Master] Giant Badger #6 moved 5'02".

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] wow look at it go!

[Gnome #2 (Master)] I said stop

Gnome #2 (Master) looks up

[Gnome #2 (Master)] OH

[Gnome #2 (Master)] STOP

[Gnome #2 (Master)] YOU

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I think we are stopped

[Gnome #2 (Master)] STOP and declare yourself

[Gnome #2 (Master)] I meant Harvey

[Gnome #2 (Master)] I mean

[Gnome #2 (Master)] Yes

[Gnome #2 (Master)] STOP

[Gnome #2 (Master)] you too

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we can wait if you need us to while you capture your badger

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] or we can help?

[Gnome #2 (Master)] There is nothing wrong he is supposed to be hunting

Gnome #2 (Master) get back here you oaf

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh. very nice

[Gnome #2 (Master)] What are you doing:?

[Gnome #2 (Master)] Who are you?

[Gnome #2 (Master)] Why do we have to deal with all these human?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I am Kenna Westfoot come from Dragon Fen

[Gnome #2 (Master)] it was so much easier before

[Gnome #2 (Master)] OH

[Gnome #2 (Master)] Oh

[Gnome #2 (Master)] are you from the Countess?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (is she? I forgot what kinds of titles she's got)

[Gnome #2 (Master)] (Branwyn is the Countess of Dragon Fen)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (fanks!)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] yes, we are!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I hope we can speak with your leader

[Gnome #2 (Master)] Well I am not sure

[Gnome #2 (Master)] But I can take you there

[Gnome #2 (Master)] What are you here for? Maybe someone can help you?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we have a business proposal for the leader

[Gnome #2 (Master)] OH

[Gnome #2 (Master)] Well I cannot help with that

[Gnome #2 (Master)] I am no good at mining, I am in charge of farming

[Gnome #2 (Master)] Unless you like grubs?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] but taking us there would indeed be a great help

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I do actually like grubs, thanks!

[Gnome #2 (Master)] STOP

[Gnome #2 (Master)] sorry I meant Harvey

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Hammertime

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I prepare then in a tomato sauce

[Gnome #2 (Master)] he tends to get off track

[Gnome #2 (Master)] OH

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (breakdancing)

[Gnome #2 (Master)] Hmmmmm

[Gnome #2 (Master)] what is a tomoto?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] it is a red fruit from a low vine

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] lot of acid

[Gnome #2 (Master)] I have not heard of it

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] not the burning kind though

Johan the Apprentice (TMO) thinks to himself that halflings are much more normal.

[Gnome #2 (Master)] I will take you back to the village

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] many thanks!

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) whispers to Tiffress

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] did I handle that alright?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I am ignorant of your culture

[Master] and shortly afterwards you arrive at the Gnome Mining Village where some of the group spent the night before when you were dealing with traveling to Skull Church

[Master] Late that afternoon

[N'laea (Carissa)] (that's why Harvey's name was familiar, didn't know it was the same village)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (grins, I do try)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Hello, welcome Ambassador

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Auntie Kenna of Otterville

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] It is a pleasure to have you here

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh hallo!

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] I trust that the Countess is doing well?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] why yes indeed!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] and how are you then?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] We have done nicely

Johan the Apprentice (TMO) bumps his head on the ceiling.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that is so good

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I like it when people thrive

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] it was good of the people of Foriso Town to help my kin

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] What brings you here today?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] there is a big answer and a small answer

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Small answers are easier and large answers are more complicated

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the big answer is that dragon fen wants to be sure necromancy never enters the northern wastes ever again

[Lisa] (I know Hornbeak)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (grins yes to Lisa)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] too much evil and horror

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] to that end, we want to improve the well being of peoples all across these reaches

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] part of that plan has to do with a mine. we have found a suitable site for mining.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the small answer is that I am here to ask if you would like to hire out some folks to mine for a percentage of the yield

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] That would depend on where and what this mine is worth

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Sorry to do this, but I have to help with bedtime. Thanks for a fun session everyone, and see you all next week.)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that is understandable. we have a sample with us

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Night!)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (gnite Ryan!!)

Ryan has left the game on Fri Dec 11 21:48:14 EST 2020

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (nite)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] and the mine is a bit more than half a day's walk north

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] perhaps for 50% of the proceeds of the mine

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] we can assist in you extracting those riches from the ground

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] it had been suggested that I offer 15%. do you think there is middle ground?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] How many mines are you asking us to assist you in?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we will be supplying security to help keep the goblins from attacking you

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] just the one

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] would it be better if it were more?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] I would like the opportunity to explore and exploit any additional mining opportunities we find nearby

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that is an interesting idea

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Say we get 15% of this mine with you providing security and we get 50% of any other mine in the area?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] and it certainly would contribute to Governor Snezana's hope to encourage prosperity in the area

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] I would provide you with 10 miners to help with your current mine

[Lisa] (so we get 50% of any mine they find and work themselves)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I call that a bonus)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (maybe I’m not a hard bargainer)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (but I like this deal)

[Lisa] (he started by saying 50% of any mine *they * find)

[Lisa] (if we find it - same 85-15 deal?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (which takes the burden of surveying off of us)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (We have time to try to find more mines per Lisa's interpretation where it may be worth it)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] OOC

[Master] talk about if that is a good deal

[Master] for now and for the future

[Lisa] gnomes are tricky

[Master] brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Lisa] just suggesting we make sure whatever deal is clear

[Spring] if I have to choose between thriving gnomes and thriving goblins though

[Lisa] but yes, sounds nice

[Lisa] of course!

[Carissa] I wonder how many mines could be possible in the area?

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (point)

[Spring] and he's committing to 10 minutes for our mine, but if they find and develop their own, they'll send more that way of course

[Spring] and yet, even so, we get 50%

[Spring] which is still not bad

[Carissa] Will it be enough to sustain Hourglass and the Church?

[Lisa] we would need to have Tiffress as an overseer to make sure we aren't getting cheated

[Spring] Snee is pretty firm that the parishioners have to sustain the church

[Spring] but hourglass and any other villages, the roads, like that - that's important

[Lisa] thought bob said silver mine would be 2000 sp per miner per week

[Lisa] so 20,000 sp per week or 2000 gold

[Lisa] 1700 to us 200 to them

[Lisa] 300 I mean

[Lisa] stupid maths

[Spring] :-P

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lisa] 300 gp per week for gnomes is a lot

[TMO] well, if they're providing 1700 to us

[Lisa] TMO is my math looking right?

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

[Spring] brb

[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] 2,000 SP per week from your mine is the base line

[TMO] per miner?

[Lisa] thought you said per miner

[Master] Yes per miner per week

[TMO] and good for over a year?

[Master] nope

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

[TMO] coulda sworn you said that earlier, but okay

[TMO] np

[Master] for potentially how long a mine will last

[Master] To determine the length of time a mine will produce before depletion, roll 1d100 at the start of the mining operation. The result is the number of weeks the mine can be worked. If the result was doubles (11, 22, 33, etc.), the mine has a much longer duration. Roll 1d100 again, the result is the additional number of months the mine will produce. Add this figure to the number of weeks set by the first roll. If the second roll is also doubles, roll 1d100 a third time, the result is the number of additional years the mine is will operate. Further doubles rolls are treated as tens of years, hundreds of years, and so on.

[Master] Once you determine the person/character in charge of the mine (currently anticipated to be Skarp) they will roll to see how long this mine will last

[TMO] okie doke

[Master] So you have on average 50 weeks which one year is 36 weeks for the mine to be productive

[Lisa] I was thinking with the amounts we're talking 15% was a lot to a little gnome village in the wastes

[Lisa] I mean what are they even going to spend it on?

[Lisa] gnome castle pops up

[TMO] us!

[Master] 2,000 per week for 50 weeks

[TMO] buying from us

[Master] is your baseline average

[Lisa] the 50% deal - ehhh

[TMO] we can hire the goblins for The Most Dangerous Game. 1 goblin of their choice gets hunted for sport each month for a fee to the tribe, and we make all that silver right back

[Lisa] If it were my decision I would get a bunch of flags and say - you find it, yes 50%, we find it 15% and send Tiffress out to explore

[Lisa] The Goblin Hunger Games

[Carissa] This is only week one of her exploring. She has many more potential weeks to find more.

[Master] and there are four months between now and the time the Moat is fully completed

[Lisa] oh I equipped Potoma - gave her Snips as a weapon since she is a gardening type

[Master] so 12 more weeks of exploring

[Carissa] Ooh I didn't see those. Nice.

[Master] and yes to Lisa and thanks

[Master] so in order to decide:

[Master] 1 - take this offer

[Master] 2 - modify the offer to only the current mine

[Master] 3 - explore more mines

[Master] 4 - renew offer for more miners

[Master] etc.

[Master] you should have a plan for if you find more mines

[Master] and what you want the gnomes to help with

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Spring] back

[Master] Letting Spring catch up

[Master] then you can make your choices

[Master] you are doing well so far for the night

[Master] and you want to establish some guidelines for future mines and how the gnomes will get what sort of profits

[Lisa] We are saying this is protectorate lands

[Master] plus there is the idea of exploiting the current mine you have found and who can mine it

[Master] I am AFK as I do the math

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Lisa] so it's ours now - gnome village has been annexed :)

[Spring] ok I think I am caught up

[Lisa] Branwyn has a deal with Hornbeak already - we give protection and they are supposed to be paying taxes

[Spring] I would not expect the gnomes to commit to any further mines that we find. we could wind up finding a lot more than they can support

[Spring] I like the deal as it is, but we could discuss whether they want an option on any other mines that we find

[Spring] what say you all?

[Spring] btw I kind of like TMO's vicious little idea. the goblins have got on my bad side

[TMO] lol

[Carissa] I wouldn't give them 50% on all other mines. Only if they find them, but we should try to find them first.

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Carissa] 50% still seems high, but depends what they'll give for it. Working all the mines?

[Carissa] I mean, Branwyn can just raise taxes on them since they'll be in a higher bracket and we'll end up with it all back in a way...

[Master] This is on the four of you

[Master] Lisa Spring (and Michael) have the most to say and Carissa and TMO have the other powerful characters

[TMO] never take first offer if you can help it

[TMO] "Negotiate"

[Spring] ugh but I suck at it

[Master] Ryan has Skarp who is in charge of the Underground areas and now Carissa has characters to take care of the above ground areas

[Master] and no you do not Spring

[Lisa] Tiffress the gnome is here right?

[Master] you have done great so far

[Lisa] someone can roleplay her to help Kenna

[Spring] TMO what do you suggest for a counteroffer?

[Lisa] and yes you have Spring!

[Master] as a Governess you have done very nicely for establishing guidelines and setting up what you see at your ideal for this part of the Wastes

[Master] it is different than Branwyn / Lisa which is the point

[Spring] well, okay, thanks

[Master] Branwyn has Dragon Fen overall

[Spring] mostly I want the wastes to be less wasted :-P

[Master] Snee has this portion

[Lisa] lol

[Master] and is in the middle of turning it into a key supply area for the Estate

[Master] and a secure area on the northern border

[Master] that is what this story arc is all about

[Master] it is NOT what Branwyn would have done and that is the point

[Master] Spring and Michael get to make choices and be in charge for a bit

[Master] after this story arc we go back to the full group of all the characters out on adventure

[Master] with new dynamics

[Spring] :-)

[Master] BUT for now it is Kenna and this group negotiating with the gnomes for workers for the current mine and future mines

[Master] as Snee sent Kenna et al out to find and exploit a mine

[Master] and yes Snee sending out the person above her to go look for mines

[Spring] the big picture is to have fruitful folk out here developing the area

[Master] yes

[Spring] I really think Hornbeak's proposal accomplishes that best

[TMO] and there are worse things than having a province with a lot of gnomes

[Spring] if we keep scouting and finding, we have to keep holding and hiring

[Master] so for the current immediate question, do you want to recruit how many gnomes for this mine and do you want a plan for future mines

[TMO] not many, granted, but there are *some* worse

[Spring] if they keep scouting and finding, they are in charge of the whole thing

[Master] grins at TMO

[Spring] and we just sit back and bank the coin

[Spring] we can only provide security for the one mine we found. we have to be clear about that

[Lisa] would still need to check and oversee and make sure they aren't cheating us

[Carissa] We can always just try asking him to lower to and see what he says

[Lisa] and so would stop Tiffress from exploring further?

[TMO] well, I've got half a design of a Forensic Accountant PC

[Lisa] :)

[Master] lol

[Spring] hahahaha

[Spring] okay we can ask

[Spring] and yes, Lisa

[Spring] if these folk are scouting out mines, we don't need Tiffress to do it

[Spring] she may want to pick up on whatever she was working on before encountinering us

[Master] What skills does Tiff have? are you comfortable with her running this mine? and or other mines?

[Spring] *encountering

[Spring] how to I butcher words so badly?

[TMO] it's called "creative writing"

[Master] to be the supervisor of a mine you want a Mining NWP and for your group of mines you want a Smelting NWP

[Spring] well she's got smelting and mining

[Master] if that comes from the current group

[Master] or form recruited gnomes or who ever

[Spring] nice detail, she's ambidextrous. I like that

[Spring] Skarp is in charge of our mine, do we want Tiff to run it instead or maybe in conjunction?

[Master] So you can (if you want) appoint Siff as the Supervisor of Mining Operations

[Master] with Skarp the overseer

[Spring] sounds legit to me

[Master] so that Ryan can take Skarp out on adventures

[TMO] Johan has Blacksmithing, Metalworking, and Sage Knowledge of metal working

[Master] imagine that

[Spring] oh thank God the dog stopped huffing at me

[Master] if you set up a site here for smelting and then a blacksmith shop

[Spring] hmm so Johan seems pretty suited for the processing part

[Lisa] hey! Johan is a mage now

[Master] grins

[Carissa] He makes barns and stuff though

[Lisa] he is no longer the village smithy

[Lisa] by magic because Branwyn asked him to

[Carissa] lol

[Spring] maybe he can be a magical smith

[Master] LOL

[Spring] metallurgic knowledge, magical power

[Spring] whole new field in wizardry

[Lisa] you want to keep Johan that will have to go through both Johan and Branwyn

[Master] and Branwyn will lose the apprentice she never wanted but now suddenly realizes.....

[Lisa] just saying

[Spring] hehehehe

[Spring] well it's something to ask them both about

[Master] Johan can negotiate his own mage tower and blacksmith shop near the mine

[Master] leading to more construction and side treks, grins

[Master] and Dragon Fen has wizard towers sprouting up all over the place

[Lisa] he would like his own tower

[Master] so step one negotiate with the gnomes for the 10 miners you want

[Lisa] not to share with Howard

[Lisa] but the books are at dragon fen

[Master] step two determine who will run the mind (looks like Tiff)

[Master] step three negotiate with Johan (Lisa) on staying on to help run the mine and work with the output

[Master] step three go back to the mine and start exploring

[Master] and now Step One

[Master] and GO

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] so, I’ve been considering

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] if I go back to the Governor with your proposal, it may not go over so well.

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] The Governor?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Why not the Countess?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the Countess put the Governor in charge of this area

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] to work on her behalf

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the prosperity idea is all the Governor's doing

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the Countess just wanted her to make the region safe and this is the method the Governor wants to use

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] prosperity is useful in the fight against necromancy, I gather

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Necromancers are sadly often there in the shadows of prosperity

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] but they prey on the poor

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we wish to deprive them of their quarry

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] plus these wastes are so vacant that necromancers can be free of prying eyes. if these wastes were prosperous, they couldn't get away with things out here

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] We have ignored the humans for decades

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] and they have ignored us

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] until Branwyn the Mysterious

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] she has a way

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (a mysterious way)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] SO what is your counter proposal

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] nobody said the prosperous out here had to be human. just non-necromancer and hopefully non-goblin

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxcDTUMLQJI

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] It would be good for all of our families to prosper

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] how serious are you about exploring and founding additional mines for yourselves?

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for N'laea modified: Weapon Proficiencies - DELETED: Bow, Short, 3.

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] We explore when we can where we can

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] it always requires protection against those that would take from us

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) nodding

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I understand that

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we can only provide security for the one mine

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] We have this mine

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] I can provide you with 10 miners for yours if you will agree to the 15%

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] I need to see a return on their labor lost here

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that part, I am authorized to agree to

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for N'laea modified: Weapons - CHANGED: Short Bow for Elves -- Speed: 0 (2), CHANGED: Short Bow for Elves -- # Atks: 2 (--), CHANGED: Short Bow, Point Blank -- # Atks: 2 (--), CHANGED: Short Sword for Elves -- # Atks: 1 (--), CHANGED: Long Sword for Elves -- # Atks: 1 (--), CHANGED: Dagger/Dirk -- # Atks: 1 (--), CHANGED: Dagger/Dirk, hurled -- # Atks: 2 (--),

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] as for 50% for additional mines, that is a new wrinkle

[TMO] (testing)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (si)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] what if you obtained 35% instead

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] could that possibly work? or something in the middle?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] That would depend on how far away the mine is

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] and what you would want from my people

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) turns to look at N’laea

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (TMO is checking weapons for me, please ignore)

[TMO] (told you: testing. :D)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I thought that meant something else)

[TMO] (sorry)

[TMO] N'laea: Attack: Dagger/Dirk, hurled: (13-(d20-2)+40) [1d20=15] 40 [MODIFIED BY RANGE INCREMENT (+40)]. MISSES Johan the Apprentice (AC FINAL: 10).

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] from your people, beyond the 10 workers in our mine? nothing further

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (that is wrong grins)

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] Very well

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] that is a good start

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] When do you want them to start?

[TMO] (nope, that is right! throwing a dagger 180 yards sounds like a +40 penalty to me)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] how long would it take to get them ready?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] (ahh TMO )

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] tomorrow? day after?

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] I can have them leave with you in the morning

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that would be lovely

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] You providing security

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] indeed

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] They will send back 15% of the proceeds of the mine back to us through the Countess

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] and if we could buy supper and night's lodging that would be even better

[Hornbeak Orthaginal (Master)] You can have that on us

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that is too kind of you!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I am sure you have the Countess’ and the Governor's best wishes and good will. this opportunity could be great for us all

[Master] So on the morning of the 8th

[Master] You leave the gnome mining village and return back to your new mine with 10 gnome miners

[Spring] whee!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (overnight healing?)

[Master] for now you will be just mining and building up an ore pile to smelt

[Master] Tiffress Wildwander's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 6 (2) - Unharmed

[Master] Kenna Westfoot's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 37 (2) - Unharmed

[Master] N'laea: No adjustments made.

[Master] Raelynn's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 20 (2) - Unharmed

[Master] Potoma: No adjustments made.

[Master] Johan the Apprentice: No adjustments made.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (ty)

[Master] Lord Tiberius: No adjustments made.

[Master] Skarphedin's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 56 (1) - Unharmed

[Spring] aaaaah how nice

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for Raelynn modified: Ability Scores - Reaction Adjust: (RADJ) : CHANGED: +6 (6). Weapons - DELETED: Sling, null, Sling, null, null, 0, null, --, --, +0, +0, +0, +0, +0, $matk, 0, +0, +0, +0, +0, $dmg, 1d1-1, 1d1-1, 1d1-1, null, null, null, null.

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for Raelynn modified: Weapons - CHANGED: Sling (stone) -- # Atks: 2 (--), CHANGED: Sling (bullet) -- # Atks: 2 (--),

[Master] I will say that there is a 50% chance that one of the 10 gnomes also has smelting as a skill to accompany Tiff

[Master] who wants to roll that?

[Master] Spring?

[Master] heads or tails?

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Johan the Apprentice modified: Spells - CHANGED: Magic Missile -- # Memorized: 2 (+0), CHANGED: Lightning Bug -- # Memorized: 2 (+0),

[Spring] A flip of the ol' kLoOge.Coin results in: Heads

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for Raelynn modified: Weapons - CHANGED: Quarterstaff + 1 -- # Atks: 1 (--), CHANGED: Lasso -- # Atks: 1 (--),

[Master] so that means you do have 1 or 2 more smelters too, heads 1 tails 2

[Spring] I need to flip again?

[Master] yes

[Spring] A flip of the ol' kLoOge.Coin results in: Tails

[Spring] nicey nice

[Lisa] nice

[Carissa] very

[Master] so you have 10 gnome miners and out of them 2 are also smelters

[Spring] we gonna get us a little refinery

[Lisa] and pollute the wastes!

[Master] with Tiff as the supervisor and Skarp overseeing it all

[Spring] heck yeah!

[Master] LOL Lisa

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for N'laea modified:

[Lisa] Potoma: Attack: Fist: (20-(d20+0)) [1d20=14] 6

[Lisa] Potoma: Attack: Snips: (20-(d20+0)) [1d20=9] 11

[Carissa] (I hope she yells, SNIP SNIP after using those)

[Lisa] Potoma: Damage v SM: Fist: (1d2+1) [1d2=1] 2

[TMO] the skies will burn black with smoke, the rivers will reflect all the colors of the rainbow on the surface! It will be PARADISE!!!

[Lisa] Potoma: Damage v SM: Snips: (1d4) [1d4=2] 2

[Spring] hahahahaha

[Carissa] The black sky will make the rainbows stand out more!

[Lisa] lol

[Master] Time of Day: 01:09 PM. Day 8 Ko ___ de, Sow {Late Spring} 8th, 349 SKR.

[Master] arrival time back at the new mine

[Master] Siffress Wildwander's Lucky Dwarf Mine

[Spring] the very one!

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I suppose I should dispel my forest

[TMO] Johan the Apprentice moved 187'10".

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Kenna Westfoot casts a spell against : Dispel Magic - Priest: I dispel (11-(1d20)+9) [1d20=11] 9 level magic.

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] If you don't have to, maybe leave it up until we take residence and control of it officially?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] we have the workers here

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] they kind of have to work it

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (too bad Ryan isn't here)

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] True. And gnomes are pretty critical of other races' illusions, I think I read somewhere. We'd probably have to listen to a lot of whining about it.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I’d fancy his surprise as the forest vanishes)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (if they are willing, Ty and Skarp should provide security until we send relief)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (then we can send volunteers and whoever is willing to go)

[Master] so overall with this current group at the mine you have: 3 humans (Tiberius Johan and Potoma) 1 dwarf (Skarp) 2 elves/half elves (Carissa's new characters), 1 Halfling (Kenna) and 11 gnomes (Tiff and 10 NPCs)

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

[Master] Will point out that Elves count as ZERO for mining operations

[Master] and too back Ryan is not here to make a comment

[Carissa] Ouchhh

[Spring] shoot I forgot we still have to explore anyway, because Potoma needs to catalog plants and creatures for domestication

[Carissa] Wait but she's half human, too!

[Carissa] Isn't that, like .5?

[Master] chuckles no

[Lisa] would they count if they were drow?

[Carissa] It's okay. She wouldn't want to break a nail.

[Master] but they are not grins

[Master] and LOL

[Spring] heh

[Lisa] yeah - maybe that's a conversation that should happen?

[Master] yes it should

[Lisa] who are these two and why are they here? passing through?

[Lisa] know those other elves we know?

[Master] currently you have 10 active miners

[Carissa] Very glad to bring in new people who won't help, lol

[Lisa] lol

[Master] and for the rest of the night I think that is the most productive thing

[Master] to do that in character

[Master] who are these elves and why do you want them around?

[Master] and I will do math on the mines

[Carissa] (heck if I know)

[Potoma (Lisa)] Good morning N'laea. Feeling a little less lost? You must be lost for an elf to be out here and not in the forests

[Master] N'laea moved 25'02".

[Master] Raelynn moved 4'05".

[Master] Potoma moved 2'05".

[Master] N'laea moved 7'05".

[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 2'06".

[Master] Potoma moved 3'01".

[Master] Tiffress Wildwander moved 4'08".

[Master] Kenna Westfoot moved 1'08".

[N'laea (Carissa)] There is plenty between the forests I've visited. It's not preferrable, but it is not unusual.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Although it's quite barren here.

[Potoma (Lisa)] What is your destination?

[Potoma (Lisa)] Loosend?

[Potoma (Lisa)] Your friend is a priestess I heard

[N'laea (Carissa)] Oh no. I passed through there earlier, for better or worse. I'm off to check the forest here. My parents passed through it, oh 300 years or so ago? Simply part of the job.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Yes... perhaps the wrong priestess to ask for help as I haven't been able to shake her loose...

[Potoma (Lisa)] Ohhh that must be interesting.

[Potoma (Lisa)] I wish I could travel more. I would like to roam the lands examining forests

[Potoma (Lisa)] Coming out here was quite the adventure and it was but a few days away

N'laea (Carissa) slight smile, "It is quite nice, although you may not have enough years in you to see them all."

[Potoma (Lisa)] How many forests have you seen?

[N'laea (Carissa)] (heck if I know)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Not nearly enough.

[Potoma (Lisa)] (I'm assuming Potoma has no idea who Shi and Kel are)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (She might have been around when Sundope was teasing Thistle about it)

[Potoma (Lisa)] (lol)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I think she was, so only by name and asking Thistle if Shi was just an imaginary friend)

[Potoma (Lisa)] (Kenna and Johan do though)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (....paging TMO and Spring)

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (sorry)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (if you want)

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) smiles

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (was multitasking)

[Potoma (Lisa)] The young gypsy girl we were with ... she knows some elves.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] as do I

[N'laea (Carissa)] Gypsies often pass through our forest. I would not be surprised.

[Potoma (Lisa)] Oh! That is rude of me. I am sure you do not know all elves

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] Shi'Nynze and Kel.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Who?

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] I'm not sure I can say them right twice. Elvish hurts my tongue.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I do not know their family or place names

N'laea (Carissa) smiles, "And the way you said it hurt my ears."

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] Then we're even, I guess.

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) smiles

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I would do no better

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] anyway, they traveled with us for some time

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Shi had a way of collecting pets

[N'laea (Carissa)] Collecting pets?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Kel had a way with gallant gestures

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh yes, no beast she could not befriend

[N'laea (Carissa)] (P.S. N'laea is wood elf so will look different from Kel and Shi)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Ahh. I can admire that.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Animals do have the best judgement.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I would venture to say that lives were saved because of her

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] creatures that would have been slain, no need

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] as a priest I like that

[N'laea (Carissa)] As a ranger, as do I.

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) nodding

[N'laea (Carissa)] Although some do prefer to hunt, but that is not my inclination.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I understand hunting. I understand defense. I do not understand killing for sport. but in any case, the less killing the better, to me

[N'laea (Carissa)] As the priests of Rillifane swear by.

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] (going to have to put the kids to bed soon)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] do you also prefer to avoid eating meat? I have known a few who do

[Johan the Apprentice (TMO)] We have sticks and leaves, or if you want foreign food, small rocks and stones.

[N'laea (Carissa)] I have when I've traveled, but if I can gather without a need to hunt, it is my preference.

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) smiling indulgently at Johan

[N'laea (Carissa)] Er, is that your normal food?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Johan is being silly

[N'laea (Carissa)] It would explain why you look...

N'laea (Carissa) gestures at him without a word

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] but most of my friends love a nice bowl of oatmeal

N'laea (Carissa) makes a face, "I've trade that once. It was much too heavy."

[N'laea (Carissa)] *tried

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) smiles

[N'laea (Carissa)] (so many typos this chat)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (at least yours was a real word)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh! I love oatmeal! My mother made it for me every morning!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Sometimes she'd decorate it with little fruits or raisins. Once she covered it in chocolate. It was soooo good.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] honey is very nice in it

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] so, what are your plans?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] do you two plan to linger in the Wastes?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Honey is the best topping. My dad would bring it whenever he'd visit as a gift.

N'laea (Carissa) looks at Raelynn, shakes her head, and turns back to Kenna

N'laea (Carissa) shrugs, "As I said, I still need to check on that forest, but it seems it might be worth knowing the area around it, too. I do not know how long I'll take."

[N'laea (Carissa)] But, as you seem to be from the area, perhaps you can help point me in some of the right directions? Get to know the area?

[Potoma (Lisa)] Do you speak of the Valoris Woods?

[N'laea (Carissa)] Yes, that would be the one.

[N'laea (Carissa)] (sorry for the life of me could not think of it's name)

[Potoma (Lisa)] Oh I know of that place. I studied shrubberies there one summer when I was in school

[Potoma (Lisa)] You would need to go through Dragon Fen to get there.

[Potoma (Lisa)] Much safer than travelling here
