[Michael] Bad news guys. I can be here in the Theoretical sense, but I am actively teaching a class right now

[Michael] I won't be done until 9 my time

[Michael] and then frankly, I’m going home

[Michael] but will have some "In-between" time where I am actively not doing anything. So I can pop in for those times

[Michael] If it would be better for me to be "one round behind" for the entire session let me know from a strategic standpoint and I'll hop off for the night, but I'd like to be here for any serious complications

[Spring] hi TMO!

[Master] Hello Michael, Lara TMO

[Michael] only wat it would be worse is if I was teaching the whole thing. I'm only a speaker for part of it

[TMO] hello folks

[Michael] hi tmo hope you are doing ok

[Master] I know Carisa and Lisa are on their way

[TMO] yep

[Michael] AFK

[Lara] hi BOB, hi Lisa, hi Spring, hi Michael, hi TMO

[Master] and someone would need to get Ryan out of the hospital apparently?

[TMO] not going near it. I haven't had my second dose of vaccine yet. Them places are plague-ridden!

[Master] so quick Tactical thoughts?

[Master] glad you got your first though!

[Lara] TMO, glad to hear you're okay

[Master] Lara you mentioned lightning bolt as an important spell before

[Master] any other thoughts?

[TMO] as I told Carissa earlier over Discord, in this situation, Brer is pretty much just a fighter with some charisma. Pointy sword and heavy armor and not much else.

[Master] and Brer with his armor

[Master] and the lack of such if he needs to swim

[TMO] he's read the rules for walking on the bottom

[Master] chuckles

[Lara] actually, I think that was Lisa. on the site, I had lots of questions.

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Feb 19 19:06:00 EST 2021

[Master] this is the time to ask away

Lisa has received the map north of Gnome Fishing Village.

[Spring] hi Lisa!

[Master] I do not want this to go past next week for the full encounter/explore the lair

[Lara] wait. the DT isn't dead, correct? or did we kill it already?

[Lisa] Hello

[TMO] oh, I think I found a stack of TNT in Brer's backpack though. Bayou fishin' for dragon turtles anyone?

[Lara] hi Lisa!

[Spring] we have not yet

[Lara] ok. my questions were: are we sure that the DT is soft underneath and how are we going to get the DT to exhaust the three breaths?

[Lisa] no Carissa but my only question is how does fire resistance spell work?

[Lara] or, has the DT exhausted one already

[Lisa] how many per cast and what is duration

[TMO] the DT should have that breath attack back by now

[Lisa] yes

[Lisa] draining the swamp might set off one steam blast

[TMO] unless it turns out to be gnomes in a tub

[Lara] BOB? does the DT have all three of its breath attacks?

[Master] I would not tell you

[Lisa] I love how we are going to literally drain the swamp

[Lara] ok

[Master] It is a couple of days later

[Spring] what about the insects? I can send them down its throat and then enlarge them to giant

[Lara] thank you BOB

[Lisa] you can direct insects to go inside its mouth?

[Spring] yup!

[Lisa] I'm keeping my mouth shut then

[Lara] based on my reading about the DT---it is the size of a whale.

[Spring] so it shouldn't notice a bunch of insects going in

[Master] 30 foot across

[Lara] correct Spring. okay, BOB, that means it is like a Blue Whale (only the largest mammal on the planet)

[Michael] (Temp not AFK. Ok, if you can hold out for an hour, I'll be in. Looks like the primary speaker isn't showing up, so I am actually driving back from the conference now. I'll post a YouTube link for the students for my portion. Give me one hour and I'll be back)

[Lara] @Michael - great! see you soon

[Michael] yep yep

[Lisa] we have to do watches that I pray won't take 3 hours

[Michael] Pissed I drove down here. I better get a five dollar gift card to Starbucks or something

Michael has left the game on Fri Feb 19 19:12:27 EST 2021

[Lisa] as long as we stay 60 feet away we don't get hit with steam

[Spring] hi Carissa!

[Lara] Spring, which enlarge spell are you going to use? enlarge may not be big enough on insets

[Lisa] Hi Carissa!

[Carissa] Hi all

[Lara] hi Carissa!

[Spring] "Giant Insect"

[Spring] "I permanently increase the size of insects to giant variety."

[Lara] AWESOME! lol

[Spring] even if they don't do a lot of damage, that has got to be distracting

[Lisa] the fleas grew to the size of small dogs I believe

[Master] Giant Rats

[Carissa] We are in a swamp

[Lisa] we are?

[Lara] what kind of insects? do they have any (ummm) venomous properties?

[Lisa] that ruins everything!

[Spring] yeah it could be almost anything

[Carissa] lol

[Carissa] ROUS in a Fire Swamp so we're just missing the fire, I believe?

[Spring] mosquitoes, water skimmers, who know?

[Master] I can make that happen Carissa

[Carissa] No no we'll leave that to Branwyn

[Carissa] ...actually no, maybe that'll be more destructive

[Lara] Spring, that would be really good to inject the DT with something from the inside that would kill it

[Lisa] I was thinking we just send some under water to scout and find the turtle

[Lisa] they surface and say where it is and Kenna drains the swamp

[Lisa] we see turtle and almost no one is in range

[Master] How many times can Kenna cast that Lower Water spell?

[Lisa] then mages blast

[Lisa] 2x

[Lara] an idea I read was to use drift nets

[Lisa] how do we get the nets over the turtle from more than 60 ft away?

[Master] On that point Lara, Cantrip is almost never the way to create things bigger than a palm sized thing

[Lisa] and where do we get large enough drift nets?

[Lara] you drag them

[Spring] could cast lower water twice

[Lara] and, now I know, we don't. lol.

[Master] the Creation Sphere that Priests get has some spells that could do things but that depends on what the Priests get

[Lisa] we need to be prepared for a bullywug encounter too since they are around

[Lisa] so we either guess and drain a big portion of the area and hope it hits the turtle or we send scouts to swim underwater and find it

[Lara] ah. can the DT live outside of the water?

[TMO] lure it to the surface in a semi-shallow spot?

[Master] Think of a very very large snapping turtle when considering plans

[Lisa] yes and it moves like a turtle out of water - much slower than he would with water propulsion

[TMO] give it a tree trunk to hold in its jawas

[TMO] jaws

[TMO] or jawas, whatever

[Master] Jawas might be very helpful

[Carissa] The snapping turtle we had at my old job LOVED fish. He went crazy for them.

[Carissa] Very clumsy out of water

[TMO] Here! Eat this instead! It's Snack Size!

[Carissa] No! No throwing Indigo!

[TMO] of course not! Jawas!

[Lara] are we going to try and get the DT to exhaust its breath or not bother?

[Lisa] depends

[Carissa] I have no emotional attachment to them. I approve.

[Lisa] we still don't know specifics of heat resistance spell

[Master] points to Carissa

[Lisa] draining the swamp over it might waste one steam blast

[Master] Kenna with drain the swamp

[Lisa] as it would be startled

[Master] Emerald with lightning bolt

[Master] Branwyn with Fireball

[Carissa] I thought I posted the heat spell? I can post specifics again.

[Carissa] ...once I find it

[Lisa] I didn't see duration or how many you can hit with one cast

[TMO] it’s to your left, under that pile of paper

[Carissa] The recipient of the spell gains a bonus of +3 to saving throws against such attack forms and all damage sustained is reduced by 50%; therefore, if the saving throw is failed, the creature sustains one-half damage, and if the saving throw is successful, the creature sustains only one-quarter damage. Resistance to fire lasts for one round for each experience level of the priest placing the spell.

[Lara] I am not sure that Emerald memorized lightning bolt (sheepish grin)

[Carissa] Oh fair

[Lisa] is it a touch spell?

[Lisa] it is night - tomorrow you memorize

[Carissa] Yes and she can cast it twice so two people. Total.

[Lara] Thanks Lisa. okay.

[Carissa] And level 4 so will last four rounds

[Master] everyone starts the day with full spells and full HP if the night goes well

[Lisa] eeek

[TMO] IF???

[Lisa] touch spell?

[Lara] okay. Lisa said something about watches. which I assume means watch shifts?

[Carissa] Yes

[Carissa] Cantrip her a drop of mercury/thermometer we're good

[TMO] oh, we're not in the village anymore. objection withdrawn

[Lisa] synchronize our watches

[TMO] mine says "whatever o'clock"

[Lisa] we are at the ruins

[Carissa] Does faerie fire work in swamp?

[Carissa] Sorry mist?

[TMO] should

[Master] yes and yes

[Carissa] Might help know where it goes when it goes underwater and can be cast at it from 80 yd away

[Lisa] so I would say N'laea and Brer get heat resistance and charge the turtle on land once it is exposed?

[Carissa] "The faerie fire can be blue, green, or violet according to the word of the caster at the time of casting."

[Carissa] N'laea could, but she's was technically built to be range. She just had good HP rolls.

[Lisa] it's not going anywhere. It will be dead or we will be dead

[Lara] so w are sure that we don't want to try and have the DT exhaust all its breaths?

[Carissa] I want to, but I guess I missed why not

[TMO] Talwin or Indigo might be better than N'laea. Talwin does have a huge sword

[Lisa] that is what Brer and N'laea are for - sucking in steam

[Lisa] Talwin then

[TMO] ah, we're the HP sinks - sorry, missed that point

[Lisa] I was thinking Indigo and Tiberius for underwater scouting

[Carissa] I am hoping Michael jumps in. I figured if nothing else he'd want to attack it up front.

[Spring] again, Kenna can use wind servant to deflect the breath

[Carissa] Yeah, the HP sink is the key.

[Spring] maybe dust devil and send it up or out

[Carissa] Wind Servant does that?

[Carissa] Because awesome if so

[Spring] it can

[Lisa] for that wide a blast?

[Master] you have to have it up and running before it breathes

[Carissa] Constantly circling the front liners at least? So it can take it away from them

[Spring] width is not specific

[Master] Will be an interesting idea to try

[Lara] question: can the DTs fire breath counteract a magical lightning bolt or fireball?

[Carissa] Do or do not. There is no try.

[Lisa] sure - think that spell moved the knarr along

[Carissa] Remember lightning. In watery environment. With people wearing metal in water.

[Lara] thank you oh wise CarisYoda

[Lisa] it's steam and not fire

[Carissa] lol

[Master] Shhhheeee Carissa

[Carissa] Qui did that in a much smaller water environment. I haven't forgotten that :P

[Master] He wants to walk across the bottom

[Carissa] Actually...

[Lara] excellent!

[Carissa] If Brer is UNDER the turtle he can be a lightning rod...

[TMO] would rather not, thx

[Carissa] Killjoy

[TMO] honest question, why does full plate armor not act like a lightning rod and conduct the lightning bolt straight into the ground without harming the body within? metal to metal is much less resistance than metal to flesh to metal.

[Lara] I will ask my question in a different way. are we sure that the huge steam breath won't counter act a magical lightning bolt or fireball?

[TMO] it should not, ara

[Lara] okay, thanks TMO

[Lisa] one goes after the other - we can't do them simultaneously

[TMO] D&D doesn't generally work that way during combat

[Lara] I understand that. I’m just envisioning a lightning bolt being deflected by a blue whale poofing out steam that as hot as the sun

[Master] OK so 10 more minutes to plot and plan then we go to the first watch

[Master] that would not work Lara

[Lara] what would not work?

[Master] the Lightning would SMASH into the Dragon Turtle as the Steam WHOOOSHES out and COOKS the adventurers

[Lara] EXACTLY!

[Carissa] Hmm what kind of cooking method is that, technically? When you use pure electrical voltage?

[Carissa] And can I open a restaurant with this method?

[Lara] convection?

[Master] extreme mayard reaction

[Master] Carissa's electrified meats

[Lara] probably Carissa - make quick shish-a-bobs

[Lara] That sounds like a band name, BOB

[Spring] arc in your microwave?

[Lara] Carissa and the Electrified Meats

[Spring] haha

[Master] 7 minutes till first watch

[TMO] I listened to them before they were popular

[Carissa] I think that's more plasma from microwave BUT I like these names! At least the naming part will be easy. Just choosing which one...

[Lisa] who wants to breathe underwater so I know how many to cast?

[Lara] are we going to try and bait the DT into using all of its breaths after the swamp is drained?

[Carissa] Before watches?

[Carissa] Oh duh to remember

[Lisa] if we have something to bait it with

[TMO] a lot of this is going to be spur of the moment

[Carissa] For better or worse

[Carissa] So bait if possible if we can

[Carissa] If not... HP sinks it sounds like?

[TMO] Brer would not turn down water breathing if one is available. How long does it last?

[Lisa] bran can telekinesis some stuff at it but she needs stuff and optimally know which direction to boot it

[TMO] with his armor, he might have to use it to get close.

[Carissa] I thought he could hold his breath for a long time! :P

[TMO] he can

[Lisa] depends on how many she has to cast it on

[Lara] ah. that's it. I don't do spur of the moment---like ever. I am not a spontaneous person except between 3 and 4 on Sundays.

[Spring] a friend told me she is writing about all the things she should do before she dies. it's her oughttobiography

[Carissa] Spur of the moment can be fine, but not as big of a fan of it with something like this

[Lisa] you can't plan everything - something is always different than how your brain would like it to be

[Lara] OMG - Spring that is hilarious! heehee

[Lara] oh, I make a plan. doesn't mean I follow it.

[Carissa] lol I thought that was a typo at first

[Master] you would guess from experience that Tiberius would be all for having water breathing and then telekinesis him over on top of the Dragon Turtle

[Lisa] LOL

[Lisa] ouch

[Carissa] Yeahhh I did wonder if Tiberius being Tiberius might actually need that second heat resistance spell

[Lisa] takes 20 pts of damage smacking into the shell

[TMO] Under normal circumstances (with a good gulp of air and not performing strenuous feats) a character can hold his breath up to one third his constitution score in rounds (rounded up).

[Lara] to BOB's point, the turtle apparently can be "ridden" sorta of

[Lisa] I posted

[TMO] 6 rounds for Brer

[TMO] strenuous activity includes fighting, I'm sure

[TMO] If the character is exerting himself (i.e. swimming) this time is halved (again rounded up).

[Lisa] If she casts Water Breathing on 3 people per spell, it will last 4 +1d4 hours per person. Or she can do 4 people per cast for 3 hours +1d4 hours. 2 casts for 6-8 people. I’m not sure how many people will want to be roaming around underwater. Combat will likely not last that long. It’s a matter of how long does it take to locate the turtle and then how long will it take to locate and empty the lair. I don’t want to leave the treasure lying around afterwards since there is a nest of bullywugs nearby who would take it themselves.

[Lara] brb

[Lara] I am away from the keyboard.

[Carissa] Can they still breath on land after?

[Lisa] Indigo and Tiberius are getting the water breathing

[Master] yes

[Carissa] Agreed

[Master] water breathing just grants the ability to breath underwater

[Lisa] Brer wants it

[TMO] let's do it this way: if Brer is able to get within range at the time of casting you can include him, but don't stall casting it for his benefit. If he's elsewhere, protect who you can with it.

[Lisa] we have to think about also needing it for lair finding and looting if lair is inside a cave somewhere

[Lisa] it's a touch spell

[TMO] right

[Carissa] Those three make sense. I don't know if N'laea needs it. If Talwin arrives, maybe him, too. Mostly thinking four heavy chests. We were warned about heavy so we need those with good STR scores

[Carissa] She is only slightly above average for STR

[Lisa] so you have to decide and when we hit the swamp you get it

[TMO] oh, thought we'd cast it as soon as we find the DT

[Carissa] So from what I'm reading, as long as it's less than 6 people we should be okay with one cast?

[Spring] I rest comfortably in the knowledge that Kenna does not need it

[Lisa] you plan to be bunched together when we find the turtle?

[Lara] I am back at the keyboard.

[Carissa] It's just an hour we lose per extra person

[Lisa] I am thinking we fight like a dragon

[Lisa] spread out

[Master] 1 minute till watches

[Carissa] Yes no bunching

[Lara] okay. just tell me where to stand.

[Carissa] At least 60 ft away :)

[Master] and First Watch

[Lara] did we decide who is on first watch?

[Master] Now you are

[Carissa] Oh man look at the time. Night all!

[Carissa] ;)

[Master] spell casters on first or third

[Lisa] Branwyn

[Spring] hahahaha

[Lisa] 1st

[Spring] Kenna on first to be sure

[Lisa] Indigo 2nd

[Master] OK

[Lara] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Kenna and Branwyn on first

[Master] Indigo, Brer and Tiberius on second

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald on third?

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) knits

[Master] Emerald and N'laea and Thistle on Third

[Master] and GO

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you got big plans for 2nd watch?)

[Carissa] Sure why not

[Master] Branwyn and Kenna

[Carissa] I forgot about Thistle. Err and what she'll do. And how Brer will get that ring from her

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) continues to knit

[Master] Sundown can be on first too

Emerald (Lara) finds a comfy space to sleep

[Carissa] (shh don't give him ideas he probably does have based on that yes)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you for saving Indigo

[Sundown (Master)] Me?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] He told me last night what happened

[Sundown (Master)] I did not

[Sundown (Master)] I failed

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No, Kenna

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] what?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm sorry Sundown I didn't see you there

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] ?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh, I see

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I said, thank you for saving Indigo Kenna

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) sighs

[Sundown (Master)] If I had done something for Indigo maybe it would have been better

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I did it for me and I do not know why and my goddess is probably already really upset

[Sundown (Master)] Why?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I did not even think, I just did it

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] well raising the dead is unnatural

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Uthe makes allowances for those who stand in the way of slavers and murderers and the like

[Sundown (Master)] It is a great power you have been granted by the Gods, you deserve and should use it wisely

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] but unless the turtle has amazing secrets, it does not qualify

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am sorry about your goddess, but I hope she will understand

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] thank you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or as Tiberius says, Uthe is free to speak to him about the matter.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] there is something about indigo. it is not romantic, but we are a people

Sundown (Master) glances over at the sleeping group

[Sundown (Master)] Brother Brer would not want to come back

[Sundown (Master)] but Uthe is love and wants her people to continue

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles at Kenna

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] yes Uthe is love. she will forgive me eventually

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] but she may have trials for me in the meantime

[Sundown (Master)] I have a trial for certain

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] you do?

[Sundown (Master)] It feels that I have lost .....

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you need our assistance you know we will be there for you

[Sundown (Master)] a limb? a sense?

[Sundown (Master)] I WAS right

[Sundown (Master)] I know I was

[Sundown (Master)] Now I

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh, yes

[Sundown (Master)] ....

[Sundown (Master)] sighs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] When I get back home I will look for some way to help you Sundown. I am just not sure yet what

Sundown (Master) a light dawns on him

[Sundown (Master)] I am no longer a Brother

[Sundown (Master)] But I can still serve

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that is true

Sundown (Master) walks over and kneels at Branwyn's feet

[Sundown (Master)] Countess

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh no)

[TMO] (roflmao)

[Carissa] (LOL)

[Sundown (Master)] My Sword is yours to command

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) smiles secretly

[TMO] (I have a new goal - bring all the annoying henchmen and then leave them behind)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I appreciate your gesture Sundown

[Sundown (Master)] You have done great deeds in defeating undead

[Sundown (Master)] and preventing them from reoccurring

[Sundown (Master)] Your people brought me back from the great beyond

[Carissa] (I approve this goal TMO)

[Sundown (Master)] I owe you my life

[Sundown (Master)] I vow to serve Dragon Fen if you will have me

[Master] and I love how I can take weeks but then surprise Lisa with it when she does not expect it

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I will always welcome loyal people who wish to serve Dragon Fen

[Sundown (Master)] Nods

[Branwyn (Lisa)] For now though if you do want to serve me, I need you to stay with Brer Necholas as long as he is with us and assist him as you have done before

Sundown (Master) bows over his sword at Branwyn's feet

[Sundown (Master)] I shall do as you wish

[TMO] (didn't realize he had a sword aside from the halberd)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am afraid he will need some time to get used to living without you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You must help him. And in that way you help me

[Sundown (Master)] (purely ceremonial, is not battle worthy)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you

Sundown (Master) nods

[Sundown (Master)] Brother Brer is deep

[Sundown (Master)] He has secrets even from me

[Sundown (Master)] But he has supported my growth

[Sundown (Master)] and I am ever indebted to him

[Carissa] (who randomly carries around ceremonial swords??)

[Sundown (Master)] (Paladins?)

[Carissa] (guess I need to find out if Brer has one now...)

[TMO] (his is quite quite real)

[Sundown (Master)] I will honor my oath to Dragon Fen

[Sundown (Master)] and to the Brotherhood

[Sundown (Master)] though that has ceased

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You shall not disappoint me. And I shall work to help you gain back that you have lost

Sundown (Master) goes off to walk the perimeter

Branwyn (Lisa) softly to Kenna "That should be my next project. They will be quite lost without each other I fear."

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) sighs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Brothers travel in pairs

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I hope here is a way to heal him

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] and make him hardy again

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Unless ... Necholas goes to Quellcon in search of the lone Brother there.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I cannot imagine anyone better suited to their mission than him

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] a lone brother. hm

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We were so wrapped up in delivering Black Cloak to the family there wasn't much time for other inquiries

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But there was a story of such

[Master (to Lisa only)] any tactical thoughts? can wrap up when you are done

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I see

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] it is something to think upon

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Tomorrow should be interesting. I don't think I can keep Tiberius and Indigo from water hunting, but I think it shall be a good thing

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] perhaps so

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And your spells shall hopefully stop the turtle in its tracks

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I truly hope so. thankfully I do not have to concentrate on the water

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] when it goes down, it stays down for a time without me

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am pleased with our assets

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think we shall be successful

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] now that we have more notice, we can do better than last time

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] it was shocking and sudden before

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, no one could have known. But now that we do, it will be better. At least we can hope

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the bullywugs are a concern

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Hope about what?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Oh good morning Kenna

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] is it morning already?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I did not mean to be up all night

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] well

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That we do better with the dragon turtle with all of us here.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I think it is still plenty of time for you to sleep

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I am just

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh good

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] happy

Branwyn (Lisa) kisses Tiberius

Lord Tiberius (Master) grasp and KISSES Branwyn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good night husband

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Well maybe Kenna needs to stay up for a while?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] We could go

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No we need to sleep

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I do not

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I am wide awake

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'll wake Indigo

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I am ready

[Branwyn (Lisa)] In the morning

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Why not now?

Brer Necholas (TMO) is pulling on his armor one piece at a time.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] no one would suspect

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You sound like a baby. I need sleep. That's why

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] FINE

Lord Tiberius (Master) grins

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Get your magic sleep

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] love you

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Brer!

Branwyn (Lisa) goes and wakes Indigo

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] We get to go after a DRAGON

Branwyn (Lisa) shakes him "Watch time"

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I heard you took a direct hit

Branwyn (Lisa) then goes to sleep

Lord Tiberius (Master) slaps him

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] and look at you

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods and buckles on his chest plate.

Indigo (Lisa) walks over for watch

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] How was it Indigo?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] nitey nite!

[Indigo (Lisa)] What?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Mm.. yes, quite painful.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Goodnight Kenna!

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Good Night Kenna, sleep spell well

Indigo (Lisa) waves

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'll be glad to not suffer that again soon.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] You and Brer both took a direct blast from the beast

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] tell me

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] what was it like?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I have only fought one dragon before

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Have you ever breathed boiling water before?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] it was a small one, only about 20 foot wingspan, a green one

[Indigo (Lisa)] No! We had the black one attack the knarr on the way here from Terraguard

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] That does not count

[Indigo (Lisa)] Remember Kel wanted to keep the head in the hold

[Indigo (Lisa)] Made it smell all bad

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] That was a huge group

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] this is just us

Brer Necholas (TMO) tightens all the straps and buckles to make sure the armor fits right.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] the three of us going into the deep and taking on the beast

[Indigo (Lisa)] It was just really hot and then it all went black

[Indigo (Lisa)] Probably like how it felt when Black Cloak shot you with a fireball

[Indigo (Lisa)] What did that feel like?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I saw a flame then I passed out

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Then I was waiting to be judged

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] to see if I was worthy of the Court

[Indigo (Lisa)] I thought you said you were in a field

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] While I was waiting then I woke up

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (was trying to remember if Brer was hurt in that, finally remembered that was before Brer came along.... *sigh*)

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I was

Indigo (Lisa) scratches his head

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] there is a huge field

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] flower, grass,

[Indigo (Lisa)] You were in a queue?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] there was a target

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] and a jousting range

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] it was wonderful

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I feel like I was there forever and only a moment

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] if that makes sense

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes!

[Indigo (Lisa)] What do you think happens after you die Brer?

Michael has joined the game on Fri Feb 19 20:18:23 EST 2021

Michael is receiving the map north of Gnome Fishing Village...

Michael has received the map north of Gnome Fishing Village.

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs his cloak into place around his shoulders, then picks up his shield and settles it in place.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] How many times have you died Brer?

[Michael] Ok.You got me until 8. So about two hours

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (hi Michael!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (good!)

[Michael] (hello again haha)

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] (watches now Michael, second right now, about to go to third, then the hunt for the dragon turtle)

[Michael] (KK)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I hope to be brought to Lord Ukko's side, if I've served to his satisfaction. No, I haven't died yet, although it's been very close sometimes.

Emerald (Lara) dreams of saying hello to a man named Michael

[Carissa] (hi Michael)

[Michael] (Hey again :) )

[Talwin (Michael)] (Test.)

[Talwin (Michael)] (OK)

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Do you have any plans for tomorrow Brother Brer?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] and What are you going to do about Sundown? Is he still a Brother?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Just Brer please. Brother Brer is saying the same thing twice.

Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmmm.. I won't do anything 'about' Sundown. As always, his fate is in his own hands. I will advise and support him whatever he wants.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] He was saying he is lost, does that mean he is not a Brother anymore? what does it take to be one?

Brer Necholas (TMO) takes a deep breath. "That is... a difficult question. I'm not sure where he'd fall. I think if he wanted to stay with The Order he could assist in missions, maybe as an applicant." He shakes his head. "I don't know. This is not a normal situation."

Lord Tiberius (Master) nods,

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Not Normal is a good place to be a lot of times

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] but then it is nice to sleep in a good warm bed, with your kids nearby other times

[Indigo (Lisa)] Who's normal?

Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles. "Most of my life is spent there. I'm not even normal compared to other Brothers."

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] He is really a good swimmer

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] better than me when I was his age

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] and she is so smart

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] like her mother

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] We will do great things tomorrow

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno. She keeps whacking things with sticks and nothing happens

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] We will make them proud of us

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Slaying intelligent creatures isn't great. Protecting people is.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Dahlia doesn't seem that smart yet

Lord Tiberius (Master) laughs

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] serious, Brer if that Dragon was intelligent it would ask for permission

[Indigo (Lisa)] Don't you think killing the turtle is protecting people?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] It should know who it is intruding on

[Indigo (Lisa)] It killed me just for splashing

[Emerald (Lara)] shifts in her sleep

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] If it hurts Indigo then how intelligent can it be?

Emerald (Lara) shifts in her sleep

Indigo (Lisa) grins

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] OK I am going to sleep

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] tell them to wake up and we will have fun in the morning

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ok. Me too

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Already?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Time flies.

Indigo (Lisa) shrugs "I guess"

[Master] Time of Day: 07:26 AM. Day 14 Be ___ tre, Bel {Mid Fall} 14th, 349 SKR.

Indigo (Lisa) gives Emerald a little shake

Emerald (Lara) stretches

[Indigo (Lisa)] Time for watch

Emerald (Lara) yawns

[Emerald (Lara)] okay

Indigo (Lisa) goes over to sleep

[Indigo (Lisa)] (can't remember who else is on watch)

Emerald (Lara) looks around with sleepy eyes

[Talwin (Michael)] (I can join in somewhere?)

[Master] N’laea and Thistle

[Talwin (Michael)] (Ok)

[Master] and Talwin can be there too

Emerald (Lara) cracks her neck and stretches again

[Carissa] (yeah please so I don't need to juggle two so much :P)

Emerald (Lara) smiles at Talwin

[Talwin (Michael)] (No worries :) )

Thistle (Carissa) yawns, "Why do I have to get up?"

Talwin (Michael) Stares over the swamp

Talwin (Michael) Because life sucks Thistle

Talwin (Michael) Smiles

Emerald (Lara) furrows her brow

Emerald (Lara) stands up and takes a look around

Thistle (Carissa) glances at leg, frowns, and humphs

N'laea (Carissa) quietly gets ready for the morning

[Talwin (Michael)] "Leg bothering you?"

[Emerald (Lara)] Thistle, how are you doing?

Emerald (Lara) nods in agreement with Talwin's question

[Thistle (Carissa)] No. I'm just still mad. And I still don't know what to ask Brer for!

Talwin (Michael) spares a glance

[Talwin (Michael)] What did you want to ask him?

Emerald (Lara) nods in understanding

[Thistle (Carissa)] Because what if he isn't lying? I'm not going to waste it on asking for him to bake me a cake.

Brer Necholas (TMO) settles down to rest again.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh he said something about how to let him know how to repay him or some flowery paladin thing.

Talwin (Michael) Raises eyebrows

Emerald (Lara) hides a smirk

[Thistle (Carissa)] (brain didn't type that right)

[Talwin (Michael)] Uh huh?

[Emerald (Lara)] (made sense to me)

[Thistle (Carissa)] Something something let him know how he can make it up to me for ignoring me

[Talwin (Michael)] "Well, if I can help you with that just let me know."

Talwin (Michael) shrugs

[Talwin (Michael)] To be fair Thistle,

Thistle (Carissa) points at Talwin, "If you wanna take a page from his book, you should also offer to give me something for ignoring me for MONTHS."

[Talwin (Michael)] I ignore you sometimes

Talwin (Michael) Smirks

[Talwin (Michael)] Yeah, I'm not doing that. But I'll happily try to stop a turtle from eating you.

Thistle (Carissa) tossing up hands, "And I almost lost a leg for it! What if I'd been forever a cripple, huh??"

[Thistle (Carissa)] No. I'm here to stop it from eating Indigo.

[Emerald (Lara)] Remember Thistle, when we met you thought I was ignoring you? But it was the spell?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah and then you didn't ignore me except when you did again.

Talwin (Michael) Holds a finger up. "I ignore you on purpose when you irritate me"

Talwin (Michael) Grins

Thistle (Carissa) rolls eyes

Emerald (Lara) rolls her eyes at Talwin

Talwin (Michael) Shrugs

[Thistle (Carissa)] If I do decide on a cake, you aren't getting any.

[Talwin (Michael)] \Sorry Just trying to add some levity

[Talwin (Michael)] I still feel like a poached lobster

[Talwin (Michael)] shudders

[Thistle (Carissa)] You look like one, too.

Talwin (Michael) Eyes down

[Talwin (Michael)] Yeah, these heat blisters hurt something fierce

[Emerald (Lara)] Thistle, things sometimes happen very fast and it may seem as though we are ignoring you.

N'laea (Carissa) nods in agreement

[Emerald (Lara)] We love you very much.

[Thistle (Carissa)] How is months fast??? Months is like, FOREVER

[N'laea (Carissa)] Tsk. That is barely a blink of the eye.

[Thistle (Carissa)] UGHH! SAYS THE ELF!

Talwin (Michael) Eyes Thistle. I must agree. I'm not even an elf and that doesn’t' make sense

Emerald (Lara) nods in agreement with N'laea

Talwin (Michael) Stretches, and eyes the swamp with distaste

[Talwin (Michael)] Never thought I’d like the rocky nothingness of the church

[Emerald (Lara)] I know I could do a better job of paying attention to you.

Emerald (Lara) looks at Talwin with irritation

Talwin (Michael) Shrugs

[Talwin (Michael)] Sorry

[Talwin (Michael)] Thistle knows we love her

[Thistle (Carissa)] I just wish people would listen when I say I'm hurt. And they don't say, "Oh, you're just a kid. You don't understand what it means to be hurt." because that also hurts.

Emerald (Lara) nods with empathy

[Talwin (Michael)] Eyes her seriously. You never told me that

[Thistle (Carissa)] I DID. And then you didn't listen! That's what I'm telling you now! Are you listening now??

[Talwin (Michael)] Nods

[Emerald (Lara)] We know that you are tough, so you're right---we should listen when you say you're hurt.

[Talwin (Michael)] Yes

[Talwin (Michael)] That's why I just informed you that I didn't remember hearing that

[Talwin (Michael)] I don't recall hearing that

[Thistle (Carissa)] Ok. Well I was hurt then, and no one did anything, but I'm not hurt now. I mean, I am, but not in a healing fancy-smancy way.

Talwin (Michael) ...And, how are you hurt?

[Thistle (Carissa)] But you didn't listen when I told you so I stopped telling you because you weren't listening.

Talwin (Michael) Clearly confused at the chain of logic

Emerald (Lara) rolls her eyes again at Talwin

Talwin (Michael) That’s not even LOGICAL

[Talwin (Michael)] Thistle

[Thistle (Carissa)] UGH! Because it's been SIX MONTHS! And that's FOREVER forever FOREVERRR!

[Emerald (Lara)] Thistle, it hurts your feelings, right?

Talwin (Michael) Eyes Emerald. Mouths. "What the hell???"

[Thistle (Carissa)] Huh? Him? No. I just get annoyed with him, too.

Talwin (Michael) Baffled turns back to look at the swamp, but listening

[Emerald (Lara)] Six months...that does seem like a long time...

[Thistle (Carissa)] I mean it hurts my feelings when I don't listen, but he's a guy, and guys don't listen.

[Master] (Imagine living with Carissa when she was a teenager..... )

[Thistle (Carissa)] (my sister would say this... is actually probably how I was, lol)

[Talwin (Michael)] (Do I have to?)

Emerald (Lara) looks back at Talwin and gives him an agreement puzzled look

[Talwin (Michael)] (LOL)

Thistle (Carissa) tosses hands up, "See??"

[Thistle (Carissa)] Branwyn understands because she's a girl./

[Thistle (Carissa)] And she listens

[Thistle (Carissa)] Also because she is Bright.

Emerald (Lara) nods

[Talwin (Michael)] Calls over shoulder. "Self-fulfilling prophecy Thistle. Just because I turned away from you, does not mean I am deaf"

[Talwin (Michael)] "Or ignoring you"

Thistle (Carissa) clearly now confused by Talwin

[Thistle (Carissa)] Okay, so Emerald and N'laea are girls, right?

[Master] (Just because I am not listening to you does not mean I am ignoring you)

[Thistle (Carissa)] So IF you left me for SIX MONTHS does that mean you're ignoring me?

Emerald (Lara) nods, listening intently

[Talwin (Michael)] LOLOL

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[N'laea (Carissa)] I.... don't follow?

[Emerald (Lara)] Ah...so that is what this is about

[Talwin (Michael)] me Grumbles: "Yeah, you and me both"

[Emerald (Lara)] No, Thistle, that doesn't mean that someone is ignoring you. It means that something took them away for a little while.

Thistle (Carissa) sighs and frowns

[Thistle (Carissa)] But it's been six months. That's, like, five forevers ago.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Wait! Six!

[Emerald (Lara)] Yes, it is frustrating. When people are gone we miss them and it can seem like a very long time.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Like forever!!

[Emerald (Lara)] Yes, it can seem like forever. The more we care about them, the longer it seems.

[Emerald (Lara)] Sometimes I think about home and it seems like forever ago.

[Emerald (Lara)] When you see the people you missed, are you happy?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well yeah! I don't miss them if I don't like them!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Like, sometimes if I didn't see Talwin for a few days, I don't think I'd miss him.

[Emerald (Lara)] Of course!

[Thistle (Carissa)] But only sometimes.

Emerald (Lara) smiles gently

[Thistle (Carissa)] I just wish Shi would come back already.

[Emerald (Lara)] But if he has to go away for six months, you might miss him and it would hurt.

[Emerald (Lara)] Even though it hurts, it is really good that you care about Shi that much.

[Thistle (Carissa)] But that wouldn't be forever!

Talwin (Michael) Calls over shoulder. "I'd miss you after a couple weeks Thistle"

[Talwin (Michael)] "A lot"

[Thistle (Carissa)] If he left, it wouldn't be forever but when Shi left it feels like forever!

Emerald (Lara) smiles towards Talwin

[Emerald (Lara)] (side note, is Shi alive? I have no idea. LOL)

Thistle (Carissa) calls over to him, "I maybe might be less angry at you if that's true!"

[Thistle (Carissa)] (yes very much, lol)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (just far away on some soul searching)

[Emerald (Lara)] (whew, I thought so)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (and won't come back until stupid writer's block goes away)

Talwin (Michael) Dramatically shrugs. "I reject your reality and substitute my own Thistle. You can believe whatever you want.:

[Talwin (Michael)] lpl

[N'laea (Carissa)] Ah. Your elf friend? I have not seen my family for years. It does not mean I am ignoring them. It simply means I have something else that needs to be done.

Emerald (Lara) gives Talwin a raised eyebrow

Thistle (Carissa) sticks her tongue out at Talwin

Emerald (Lara) imitates Thistle and sticks her tongue out at Talwin

Thistle (Carissa) sighs again, "I mean she was really sad, and I couldn't cheer her up. I just wish it wasn't taking so long for her to be happy again."

Thistle (Carissa) glances at Emerald and breaks out laughing

Talwin (Michael) Sideyes Emerald. "What? I'd miss her eventually. Whether or not see believes it doesn't really matter."

Emerald (Lara) smiles at N'laea

[Talwin (Michael)] (Man, typing tonight it beyond me)

[Emerald (Lara)] I know this sounds crazy, but it is okay if someone feels sad. Just like you feel sad.

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

N'laea (Carissa) shakes head, "She will be back. We may live long, but we are not forgetful of those we care about."

[Thistle (Carissa)] Ooh.... I never thought of that

Emerald (Lara) smiles with gratitude at N'laea

[Emerald (Lara)] Good point N'laea

Thistle (Carissa) frowns and thinks, "If I'm sad, but she's sadder, then..."

[Thistle (Carissa)] No wait my head hurts now.

[Emerald (Lara)] Thistle, you wanna know a secret?

[Master] Jisthaock moved 11'08".

[Thistle (Carissa)] I like secrets!

[Emerald (Lara)] (whoa what is a Jistahock?)

[Jisthaock (Master)] Hey I want to know a secret!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Is it that you're secretly in love with Talwin?? I won't tell him.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh! Two secrets?? Tell me!

[Thistle (Carissa)] (teenage gnome we met before)

Emerald (Lara) laughs out loud

[Jisthaock (Master)] OH everyone is always in love with someone that does not know

[Emerald (Lara)] (whew!)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (seems friendly but, er, another teenager)

N'laea (Carissa) rolls eyes, "You sound like Raelynn."

[Thistle (Carissa)] Ooh! But all my novels say that's true!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Although I don't think I'm in love with someone? Am I? Is that one of the secrets??

[Jisthaock (Master)] OH like you can read

Emerald (Lara) shakes her head "Ummm, I don't really know Talwin enough to say I LOVE him" and roll sher shoulders dramatically

[Thistle (Carissa)] Pfft like you can talk!

[Jisthaock (Master)] Humans don't do that

Talwin (Michael) Still staring at the Swamp. Deep in thought.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah well maybe I'm a special human. Or not a human. Maybe I'm a gnome in disguise and you can't read because you're a human in disguise!

Talwin (Michael) Confused look

Talwin (Michael) Turns back

[Jisthaock (Master)] I can read

[Talwin (Michael)] "What?"

[Thistle (Carissa)] Prove it!

[Emerald (Lara)] Thistle, Jistahock...do you want to know the secret?

[Jisthaock (Master)] you are the one who can.... well I mean maybe I guess you could if you studied in school but I do not think you did that

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh! Right! Yes! I want to know a secret.

[Emerald (Lara)] You cannot be efficient with emotions. They run their own course.

Thistle (Carissa) rolls eyes, "School school? That's lame. But I had someone tutor me and they taught me."

[Thistle (Carissa)] Wait what?? But what if I hate being sad sometimes??

[Emerald (Lara)] Talk about it

[Jisthaock (Master)] (the rest of the camp starts to stir with the morning )

[Thistle (Carissa)] Like I just did? I mean I guess I feel somewhat better...

[Emerald (Lara)] Exactly!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Even if I want to push Talwin face first into the mud.

Emerald (Lara) smiles

[Jisthaock (Master)] Who is Talwin?

[Thistle (Carissa)] That guy there!

[Emerald (Lara)] Well, he might deserve his face in mud

Thistle (Carissa) points

Emerald (Lara) laughs

[Talwin (Michael)] I'm right here

[Thistle (Carissa)] Would he look better with mud on his face?

Jisthaock (Master) walks over to Talwin

Emerald (Lara) clears her throat

Jisthaock (Master) looking up at him

[Jisthaock (Master)] Do I need to push your face in the mud?

Thistle (Carissa) grins and laughs

Talwin (Michael) looks down. Face bland. "Do I need to push your face into the mud?"

[Talwin (Michael)] "Don't listen to them"

Jisthaock (Master) waves a hand and a glob of mud floats up out of the swamp in front of Talwin

[Talwin (Michael)] "They are a bad influence"

[Thistle (Carissa)] He's going to kill a dragon turtle. Maybe it'll help!

[Emerald (Lara)] Okay, okay

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oooh!! You can do magic??

Talwin (Michael) Nods appreciatively

[Jisthaock (Master)] Everyone can do magic

[Jisthaock (Master)] geeeze

Emerald (Lara) raises eyebrows in surprise

[Thistle (Carissa)] Show me another trick!

[Talwin (Michael)] Why don't you fling that mud in the turtles eye. Then it won't hit us with steam breath

[Jisthaock (Master)] OH

[Thistle (Carissa)] OH! Yeah! What if you toss mud at the turtle!

[Emerald (Lara)] Jistahock, what kind of magic do you practice?

[Jisthaock (Master)] (the mud drops)

[Talwin (Michael)] (The magical kind)(

[Jisthaock (Master)] You are going after the Swamp Monster!

[Emerald (Lara)] (shut up)

[Jisthaock (Master)] We need to come

[Jisthaock (Master)] We need to help you

[Thistle (Carissa)] Okay!

[Emerald (Lara)] Yes! That would be great!

[Jisthaock (Master)] Great

[Jisthaock (Master)] Let's go

[Emerald (Lara)] Thistle, you made us a new friend!

Jisthaock (Master) claps

[Talwin (Michael)] (Sorry. was that on me? I thought they were with us)

[Thistle (Carissa)] I'm making sure Indigo doesn't get eaten, and that's really hard sometimes. Will you help make sure he doesn't get eaten?

[Thistle (Carissa)] They gotta wake up sometimes and sometimes it takes FOREVERRR

[Jisthaock (Master)] Who is Indigo?

[Master] Gninthick moved 19'08".

[Gninthick (Master)] IDIOT

Brer Necholas (TMO) stretches.

[Gninthick (Master)] The Admiral

Thistle (Carissa) yells over, "INDIGO ARE YOU AWAKE YET??

[Gninthick (Master)] You are just so dense sometimes

[Gninthick (Master)] You were all about the Admiral yesterday

[Emerald (Lara)] Jistahock do you know how to destroy the monster?

[Thistle (Carissa)] I guess I should wake everyone up...

[Gninthick (Master)] Now you do not know who he is

[Emerald (Lara)] (wait, is it time to wake everyone?)

Thistle (Carissa) walks to Brer, "WAKEY WAKEY"

[Thistle (Carissa)] (they were all stirring earlier apparently)

[Jisthaock (Master)] Oh you cannot destroy it, the elders have done a great job

[Thistle (Carissa)] (so just helping them motivate more ;) )

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Good morning, Thistle.

[Jisthaock (Master)] you can just go out and fix it

[Jisthaock (Master)] and all will be good

[Thistle (Carissa)] Hey are you a good baker?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Emerald, when you are done memorizing your spells for the day, I will take your book and put it in my pack and seal it from any water damage

Thistle (Carissa) pauses and turns back to gnomes, "Wait how do you fix a dragon turtle?

[Emerald (Lara)] Fix what Jistahock?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Me?

Thistle (Carissa) to Brer, "Yes, you."

[Emerald (Lara)] Thank you Branwyn

[Jisthaock (Master)] The swamp monster breaks every once in a while and someone has to go fix it

[Jisthaock (Master)] that is what we are going to do

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh we should come with you!

[Jisthaock (Master)] go out and find it and fix it

[Emerald (Lara)] What do you mean by "fix it"?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Nope.

[Emerald (Lara)] Is it mechanical?

Thistle (Carissa) back to Brer, "Oh. Okay so not cake then...."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (time to set your spells for the day - you can do it in the background)

[Thistle (Carissa)] What if it's nice and just broke a leg?

[Emerald (Lara)] (will do)

[Master] I will be quiet and let you all plan and plot out spells

[Master] particularly Branwyn and Emerald

[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe we can get it as a pet! OH! Shi wanted a pet dragon! Maybe she'll be happy if she comes back to a pet dragon! We should go with them!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Can you get us 4 skiffs or small boats?

Brer Necholas (TMO) moves off to the side of camp to do his morning prayers.

[Gninthick (Master)] 4 skiffs?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Or canoes or boats

[Indigo (Lisa)] or barges or knarrs

Indigo (Lisa) grins

[Gninthick (Master)] I think I can find a raft and a couple of skiffs for you

[Gninthick (Master)] how much can you give me?

[Indigo (Lisa)] A big thank you

[Thistle (Carissa)] Umm, he is an Admiral. Remember?

[Emerald (Lara)] (Lisa, can you check Emerald's character sheet and see if you think I chose well? I did 2 lightning bolts)

[Indigo (Lisa)] If we give them back at the end, I'll give you a silver coin and if we lose them 1 gold

[Indigo (Lisa)] How is that?

[Gninthick (Master)] OK

[Indigo (Lisa)] (ok)

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) yawns

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] are we up?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I dreamed people were talking a lot

[Master] So the two of them scurry off to the village somewhere south to find some skiffs for you

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] it was like being at the ferry dock

Raelynn (Carissa) quietly hands back armor to N'laea

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I can't swim, and if I sink in this... umm, I'll take it back later.

[Emerald (Lara)] (wait, did everyone just ignore the commentary about "fixing the monster?"

Brer Necholas (TMO) stands up from his prayers and begins putting on his armor again.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I was asleep)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Thistle saw and asked, Bob just chose to ignore us ;) )

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) prays

N'laea (Carissa) nods, Do not get close. It would not be good.

[Talwin (Michael)] (I'm kind of confused LOL)

Emerald (Lara) turns to Jisthaock

[Talwin (Michael)] (I'm sorry)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (think it looks good Lara)

[Emerald (Lara)] Jisthaock, can you tell us more about what you mean about the monster? is the one with the big shell on its back?

[Emerald (Lara)] (thanks Lisa)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (they scurried off)

[Emerald (Lara)] (ARGH!!!!!!)

Thistle (Carissa) looking at hand with ring, "I should have shown him I'm a fire goddess."

Emerald (Lara) turns to Thistle "Did Jisthaock say anything more about the monster and fixing it?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's the mushroom mowing machine

[Thistle (Carissa)] He says sometimes it breaks and the elders fix is so I said we should go see it!

[Indigo (Lisa)] After we get the turtle

[Thistle (Carissa)] But it says it's indestructible. Maybe it's actually the turtle?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Oh! Or maybe it can help with it!

[Emerald (Lara)] Oh, so Jisthaock calls the mushroom mowing machine a swamp monster?

[Emerald (Lara)] Good idea Thistle, maybe

[Indigo (Lisa)] No that's the thing that Jilly said the farmers saved in the swamps while we were all gone

Thistle (Carissa) shrugs, "I think we're talking about the same thing but maybe not? Anyways they're going to help with kill the turtle!"

[Thistle (Carissa)] So I told them we'll let them help

[Thistle (Carissa)] Mostly because if he was willing to throw mud at Talwin, they're probably trustworthy.

[Emerald (Lara)] Thistle, did Jisthaock actually say they would help "kill" the turtle?

[Indigo (Lisa)] They need to stay back

[Indigo (Lisa)] I like them. I don't want them to die

[Thistle (Carissa)] They said they need to come and help us, yep!

Emerald (Lara) furrows brow "I am afraid we are not all talking about the same thing."

Branwyn (Lisa) takes her and Emerald's spell books and puts them in her pack

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well then let's go find out!

Talwin (Michael) Sighs

[Talwin (Michael)] God just once

Emerald (Lara) looks at Indigo, "That is very noble of you!"

[Thistle (Carissa)] And if it ISN'T the same, then we know, but we might get more help before that

[Talwin (Michael)] Can anything be simple

Talwin (Michael) Pleads to the heavens above

[Talwin (Michael)] and the demons below

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Swords are simple

Thistle (Carissa) to Talwin, "Apparently Brer does not bake cakes."

Branwyn (Lisa) concentrates on the pack with the books

Emerald (Lara) turns to Talwin, "If you just want to stick a sword in everything I suppose it could be simple!"

[Thistle (Carissa)] That is simple and sad.

Talwin (Michael) Shrugs

Emerald (Lara) hands Branwyn her spell book, "Thanks Branwyn. For safekeeping."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Waterbane: This spell keeps a creature or an object from getting wet. It protects against water in liquid form-saltwater as well as fresh. When cast on a creature, it keeps the creature and its personal gear dry for one day. The creature can walk through pouring rain, dive into a pool, or stand beneath a waterfall, and still emerge with dry clothing and every hair in place. When cast upon an object, waterbane renders it completely watertight for a period of one day per level of the caster.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] SO

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Let's go find

[Talwin (Michael)] I don't have to worry about other people casting spells to "help" and getting confused though, do I?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] not everyone gets to have a mallet like mine

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Kenna is good with her mallet

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] well I’ll be summoning insects

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well you were already confused to start with...

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] and lowering water

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] so, be aarek

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] aware

Raelynn (Carissa) slightly raises hand, "I can protect two of you from heat somewhat."

Emerald (Lara) looks around as the action starts to happen

Brer Necholas (TMO) settles his shield into place.

[Master] 9:30 I put you on the map you have of the lair

[Master] 13 minutes to make your final plans

[Master] 12

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (are we not going with gnomes first and/or seeing what that's about?)

Talwin (Michael) gives a rare broad smile to Thistle, "You know, you’re not wrong there" :)

[Master] The two gnomes are bringing you skiffs and a raft

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Michael you are here for another 40 minutes?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (kai is telling me I need to report to beddy bye times. I told him I haven't fought the turtle yet, but he is unconvinced)

[Talwin (Michael)] (Correct)

[Master (to GM only)] Dragon Turtle #3 moved 170'11".

[Talwin (Michael)] (I will help however I can)

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #53 moved 19'05".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #52 moved 17'09".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #51 moved 9'11".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #50 moved 8'04".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (going to cast water breathing on Tiberius Indigo and Brer then)

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #50, Bullywug #34, Bullywug #45, Bullywug #40, Bullywug #35, Bullywug #38, Bullywug #49, Bullywug #44, Bullywug #39, Bullywug #42, Bullywug #37, Bullywug #48, Bullywug #43, Bullywug #46, Bullywug #41, Bullywug #36, Bullywug #52 and Bullywug #47 moved 133'11".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #52 moved 129'01".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #50 moved 131'09".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (anyone else want it?)

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #49 moved 282'10".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #48 moved 285'08".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Brer and final decision for heat resistance?)

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #47 moved 272'11".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #46 moved 266'03".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #45 moved 108'02".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #44 moved 121'01".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #43 moved 115'02".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #42 moved 128'00".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #41 moved 266'10".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #40 moved 255'09".

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (would be great if we intend him to tank his HP. ;) )

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #39 moved 274'02".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I guess if it doesn't cost much extra, might as well toss N'laea in water breathing in case?)

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #38 moved 246'07".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #37 moved 148'04".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #36 moved 139'02".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #35 moved 275'04".

[Master (to GM only)] Bullywug #34 moved 285'05".

[Talwin (Michael)] I am wearing armor, that could help if we intend for Talwin to get close to help do direct damage

[Emerald (Lara)] (I am checking to make sure we have everything for Emerald's spells.)

[Talwin (Michael)] Heat resistance would be nice if anyone can swing it

[Talwin (Michael)] But water breathing would be helpful too

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (would do 2 castings for 4 people)

[Master] 9 minutes

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (yes, I was guessing you might be direct fighter, but wasn't going to volunteer you :) )

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (what spells are lost if 2 castings?)

[Talwin (Michael)] (I'm happy to)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (brer and Talwin for heat)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (yep)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (and sorry, I thought it was 2 castings at 6 people)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] so lowering the water is very first, right? so our scouts can go look for it?

[Emerald (Lara)] Branwyn, do we have an amber, crystal, or glass rod in our pack?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo and Tiberius come here please. I will cast a water breathing spell on you

[Raelynn (Carissa)] If someone has a spare bit of mercury, that would help.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Mages must keep their own components

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Just a little cantrip...

Kenna Westfoot (Spring) hands her thermometer to Raelynn

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I have another at home

[Master] Yes to Emerald for having those components

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh, thank you, Auntie!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I will wait until we are closer to cast it.

Branwyn (Lisa) holds Tiberius and indigo hands and closes her eyes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Water Breathing - Wizard: As many creatures as I touch can breathe underwater for (12+1d4) [1d4=2] 14 hours, split up among the creatures I touch.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so 7 hours a piece for those two)

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald: Cantrip Proficiency check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

Lord Tiberius (Master) breathes deep

Emerald (Lara) Cantrips a bit of fur

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I know this one

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we are leaving in 5 minutes right?)

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Come on Indigo let's go swim

[Master] yes

[Master] will be on the final map in 5

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Now, Necholas, N’laea and Talwin, come to me

N'laea (Carissa) stands and walks over

Brer Necholas (TMO) clanks over to her.

Branwyn (Lisa) takes their hands in hers and closes her eyes

Talwin (Michael) Nods

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Water Breathing - Wizard: As many creatures as I touch can breathe underwater for (12+1d4) [1d4=1] 13 hours, split up among the creatures I touch.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (4 hours and 20 minutes each)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not bad)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Thank you

[N'laea (Carissa)] Serannasan Ma.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You can now breathe underwater freely

[Talwin (Michael)] Thank you

Talwin (Michael) Takes it in stride, but looks more relived now

[Master] any last before you hit the new map

[Talwin (Michael)] (Did we get the heat resistance?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lower time limit so it'll be once we're close to)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (and just a quick water refill then back

[Talwin (Michael)] (TY)

[Master] Indigo moved 156'01".

[Master] There you go

[Master] that is how you are entering the map

[Master] Scale is correct

[Master] so you can place yourself in your up to four groups as you wish

[N'laea (Carissa)] (back(

[Talwin (Michael)] (So are Talwin and the heavies with water breathing going in first? Or are we having scouts do that?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (casters in the back this time?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (yes to Lisa)

[Talwin (Michael)] (Far back if possible. )

[Master] Time of Day: 10:26 AM. Day 14 Be ___ tre, Bel {Mid Fall} 14th, 349 SKR.

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Talwin (Michael)] Talwin: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

Emerald (Lara) looks around and sees...

[Master] you are two hours into your time frame for the water breathing

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (2 hours already?)

[Master] you can say 8 AM the spells started

[Emerald (Lara)] (DM, what does Emerald see?)

Raelynn (Carissa) places on Brer and Talwin

[Master] you are off into the swamps for a couple of hours now

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn casts a spell against : Resist Fire/Resist Cold: I'm immune to normal hot or cold conditions for (4) 4 rounds. In addition, magical hot or cold conditions reduce their damage by half and I receive a +1 to saves.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (well that was foolish of us)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I wouldn't have cast if I knew we were 2 hours away - sigh)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (glad I wait until now... hoping we find it fast)

[Master] You did not know how far away you are

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Be careful.

Raelynn (Carissa) steps back

[Master] and before you cast that Carissa you need to set your selves up for how you are in your skiffs

[Emerald (Lara)] (DM, what does Emerald see?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay let's try to be quiet this time

[Talwin (Michael)] STOP

[Talwin (Michael)] I'm waiting on Lara

[Master] everyone has to set themselves up before I can tell anyone anything

[Master] unless that random grouping is how you are entering the area

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (fighter on each raft)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (spellcaster on each raft)

[Carissa] (gnomes with us?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (innocent bait victim on each raft)

[Carissa] (they are also on the map)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo and Tiberius will be ditching the skiffs as soon as we are "there")

[Talwin (Michael)] I am fine riding up front

[Master] yes the gnomes are there, everyone on the map is there

[Talwin (Michael)] with my group

[Emerald (Lara)] (red shirts on the raft)

[Carissa] (do we want an empty raft as bait?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas moved 21'05".

[Carissa] (it might attack whatever moves so if we push one out...)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (how many rafts again? 3 or 4?)

[Carissa] 4

[Talwin (Michael)] (Agree Lisa. My group must be willing to ditch the skiff)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (4 people per?)

[Carissa] or it was what three skiffs and a raft?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (1 people, don't see the gnomes in our list. how many? 2?)

[Emerald (Lara)] (we never had a conversation with the gnomes about the "fix it" thing!)

[Carissa] so the ditching group can push their raft out soon as we get close to the lair as bait

[Carissa] two

[Carissa] all top of the pa

[Talwin (Michael)] Talwin moved 46'01".

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (was counting names in the list. :) )

[Talwin (Michael)] This is my character

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (who wants to ride with Brer? :D)

[Talwin (Michael)] I am in front of my skiff and/or raft

[Talwin (Michael)] Get behind me

[Carissa] Emerald, Talwin, Kenna, Brer, Thistle, Raelynn, 2 Gnomes, N'laea, Tiberius, Sundown, Indigo, and Branwyn

[Talwin (Michael)] If a spell caster is in mine, they are the last person in my skiff/and/or raft

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that would be me then

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no casters in the front skiff)

[Talwin (Michael)] If we need to, we bail out and make our way to the island

Emerald (Lara) reluctantly gets in the back on Talwin's skiff

Talwin (Michael) Shakes head

[Indigo (Lisa)] (unless one wants it ...)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh Talwin is in front? never mind

[Emerald (Lara)] (omg, that sounded nasty)

[Talwin (Michael)] sigh

[Talwin (Michael)] lol

[Carissa] (lol)

[Carissa] I'd say front raft needs to be those who can take a hit and are ready to ditch

[Carissa] Because it has a higher chance of being attacked first

[Master] you have 3 skiffs and 1 raft

[Talwin (Michael)] OK. Well, in that case, all the sacrificial red shirts and Talwin

[Talwin (Michael)] hop on

[Carissa] How many on a skiff and how many on a raft?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (bran and whoever wants to be with her)

[Emerald (Lara)] (Branwyn and I will split up)

[Master] Up to 3 per skiff

[Talwin (Michael)] (Talwin is about to hop on with Indigo if no one gets with him)

[Carissa] (Thistle and Raelynn can be with Bran if that's fine since neither are planning to be close)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I really don't want protection just want to be in back out of range)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (ok)

[Emerald (Lara)] (Emerald is with Talwin)

[Talwin (Michael)] (Ah Ok)

[Carissa] So skiff one: Branwyn, Thistle, Raelynn

[Master] Branwyn moved 29'03".

[Carissa] Skiff two: Talwin, Emerald, Brer? Make it easier to do the spell?

[Master] Thistle moved 104'05".

[Master] Raelynn moved 89'10".

[Talwin (Michael)] (Would probably help)

[Master] Emerald moved 9'09".

[Master] Talwin moved 52'04".

[Carissa] Before they push off.

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 31'10".

[Master] Kenna Westfoot moved 44'03".

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (ok)

[Carissa] Although I worry about Emerald on that raft since they should technically be the first raft then with HP/Heat Resistance

[Carissa] Raft is how many people?

[Master] 6

[Carissa] ...oh I thought a raft was smaller

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I'm not sure why we took the gnomes)

[Carissa] I was ready to sacrifice the raft...

[Indigo (Lisa)] (they are dead weight)

[Carissa] The gnomes took themselves and have illusion magic. Chance they have something useful up their sleeve

[Talwin (Michael)] (Bait)

[Emerald (Lara)] (but Jistahoack can do magic and someone can have a conversation with them)

[Emerald (Lara)] (find out what this "fix it" thing means)

[Carissa] Hmm...

[Carissa] So Skiff 3: Indigo and Tiberius with intent to ditch and push towards the lair?

[Master] Indigo moved 14'11".

[Master] Lord Tiberius moved 23'08".

[Carissa] Since they're already ready to jump ship?

[Master] Sundown moved 31'08".

[Master] N'laea moved 7'04".

[Master] Gninthick moved 16'02".

[Master] Jisthaock moved 16'00".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sure)

[Carissa] Sundown, N’laea, Dead weights on raft?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[Master] so you have your groups

[Carissa] Not sure what Sundown will be doing so he's just... in the dead weight category as well ;)

[Master] is that the distance?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (where is Kenna?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (raft?)

[Carissa] Is that lined up as left the front leading group and back the back group?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] over here

[Carissa] Ah! I forgot Kenna. Raft is good.

[Carissa] Knew I forgot someone. It's the tiny icons I'll blame

[Master] It is set up as you are all in a line

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we're small)

[Master] four groups across

[Carissa] Hmmm....

[Carissa] No....

[Master] that is your distance right now unless otherwise changed

[Carissa] Because I feel like you're asking, "How far apart are you from this upcoming blast??"

[Master] You know where the lair is and where the bullywug watch post it

[Master] exactly

[Carissa] But also I feel like frontliners should be in middle and spell casters on edge

[Master] once I say GO you are on the map and going to have to make choices quickly

[Emerald (Lara)] (and Emerald sees...?)

[Master] so set your selves up

[Master] THEN I can finally start to answer questions

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Carissa] The groups are fine. I'm just suggesting group placement

[Talwin (Michael)] I have 15 min but may be able to stay a few beyond. Not sure yet

[Emerald (Lara)] (if the beast is 30 feet wide, does it make sense that we stay that far apart?)

[Talwin (Michael)] I'd like my group closer to the farthest right skiff

[Carissa] I don't like this. The closer we'd get, I'd think we'd already have the frontline fighters up front. Not all lined up nice and neatly going into the lair group.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (agreed, lead and flanks

[Talwin (Michael)] Agreed

[Carissa] We're setting ourselves up for a "surprise" attack with the tanks up front. Not "surprise!" you didn't set up so the spellcasters get tanked.

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Carissa] Yes, lead and flanks. Those are the words I need to use

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (which raft is lead?)

[Carissa] Talwin and Brer should be because of the spell. Also why I suggest Emerald not be on that raft, but up to Lara

[Emerald (Lara)] you can move me but is it too late?

[Master] you assigned Emerald Brer and Talwin to the same skiff

[Carissa] If not them, Indigo and Tiberius ready to jump in the water the minute something surfaces

[Carissa] I did not

[Master] OK

[Master] that is where they are now

[Carissa] Lara suggest it, I gave her the option, and now I'm making sure she sees me option

[Master] so you can change that

[Master] that is why I am waiting

[Carissa] Then move Emerald to the raft

[Talwin (Michael)] Lara?

[Talwin (Michael)] Can we move you to the raft for safety?

[Emerald (Lara)] (Yes)

[Master] You can move your own characters

[Emerald (Lara)] (I can't see my character! lil bitty)

[Carissa] I kind of hate putting all the spellcasters in a basket, but they should be far back.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (you can never predict what is going to happen )

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald moved 66'01".

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (concur)

[Emerald (Lara)] (in the right spot?)

[Master] That is the raft yes

[Carissa] Brer Necholas moved 73'06".

[Carissa] Talwin moved 81'03".

[Carissa] Kenna Westfoot moved 36'06".

[Carissa] Jisthaock moved 17'03".

[Carissa] Gninthick moved 22'09".

[Carissa] N'laea moved 26'04".

[Carissa] Emerald moved 35'08".

[Carissa] Branwyn moved 20'05".

[Carissa] Thistle moved 17'02".

[Carissa] Raelynn moved 15'09".

[Carissa] Indigo moved 15'07".

[Carissa] Lord Tiberius moved 16'07".

[Carissa] (focused on formation not distance if that looks okay)

[Carissa] Gninthick moved 17'01".

[Carissa] Jisthaock moved 12'01".

[Master] Where do you want Sundown?

[Carissa] He was on the raft

[Carissa] I just can't move him

[Master] Sundown moved 37'00".

[Carissa] Like a V formation

[Master] N'laea moved 8'05".

[Carissa] ....ughh but I am second guessing myself, guys

[Carissa] Please speak up if you want.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (you're doing fine)

[Carissa] Just.. frontline people toss rocks and stuff, be loud, I dunno

[Indigo (Lisa)] (relax - what you think is going to happen is not going to happen)

[Talwin (Michael)] (Carissa, you are fine. This isn't like modern war, where we have satellites covering the battlefield(

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we need to just know what we can do and then do that)

[Talwin (Michael)] (This is bobs world. We just do our best)

[Carissa] Yeah I'm just stuck on how intelligent this may or may not be

[Carissa] and if I'm assigning deaths by accident

[Talwin (Michael)] Can speak intelligent

[Indigo (Lisa)] (any plan will be derailed)

[Master] Combat has begun!

[Master] ROUND: 0

[Master] Combat has finished.

[Master] Combat has begun!

[Master] ROUND: 0

[Carissa] (toss your rocks frontliners)

[Master] Combat has finished.

[Carissa] (also we're er.... many many feet apart)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we win!)

[Master] 40 feet apart between groups right now

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I like those combats)

[Carissa] (okay sure that sounds okay I think)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (can we go now?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] are we ready to get rid of some water?

[Emerald (Lara)] (DM, did you ever tell us what Emerald sees?)

[Master] The only spells that have been cast at this point is the Breathe Water spell

[Master] are you ready to actually move onto the map now?

Talwin (Michael) Bangs head

[Carissa] (...ughh okay one second

[Talwin (Michael)] Heat resistance?

[Carissa] Brer Necholas moved 36'01".

[Carissa] Talwin moved 37'00".

[Carissa] Lord Tiberius moved 40'09".

[Carissa] Indigo moved 42'10".

[Carissa] (there now you're closer for heat resistance once we can do that...somehow....)

[Master] if you want to cast Heat Resistance that lasts 4 rounds but you do not know where the Lair is yet, or where the Turtle is yet, you can feel free to do that

Indigo (Lisa) whispers to Tiberius "We need to be quiet this time. Find the turtle and then tell the others so they can cast"

[Carissa] (your vote)

[Talwin (Michael)] (Sorry. I thought that was hours based. Not turn based)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Don't go fight the turtle by yourself

[Talwin (Michael)] (Vote for skip for now(

[Carissa] (okay just tell me when)

[Talwin (Michael)] (When we are being steamed, you have my permission to cast! :) )

[Indigo (Lisa)] We don't get to come back any more

[Carissa] (it is touch based, though)

[Carissa] (that's the one big hold up)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Stay away from bullywugs, okay?

Lord Tiberius (Master) grabs Indigo's arm

[Indigo (Lisa)] We can kill them later

Indigo (Lisa) grins

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Just run swim through them got it

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ready?

[Master] OK so ready set go

Talwin (Michael) Controls breathing. "Yes"

[Master] Talwin, Branwyn, Gninthick, N'laea, Kenna Westfoot, Thistle, Emerald, Jisthaock, Lord Tiberius, Indigo, Brer Necholas, Sundown and Raelynn moved 19'04".

[Master] NOW for Emerald

[Emerald (Lara)] (...)

[Master (to Lara only)] Emerald can spot two Bullywugs off to the east watching the group enter the area

[Master (to Lara only)] over near the trees near the Lair

[Master] and now what do you do?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (time to go home!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (she rolled obs?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (don't scare her)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (with the whole all caps NOW)

[Master] I sent her the appropriate messages, grins

[Talwin (Michael)] (Emerald? You ok?)

[Emerald (Lara)] (wait, I have to spell "Jisthaoack" right lol)

[Talwin (Michael)] (Oh, sorry ahaha)

Emerald (Lara) "Jisthaock?"

Emerald (Lara) whispers

[Jisthaock (Master)] YeaH?

Emerald (Lara) quietly, "what do you all do about the bullwugs in the area? are they your friends?"

[Jisthaock (Master)] avoid them or steal their hunting

[Jisthaock (Master)] Sometimes they get good stuff

Emerald (Lara) nods

Indigo (Lisa) quietly slides off the skiff into the water

Emerald (Lara) whispers to Kenna, "there are two bullywugs out there"

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Hey who will take this when I leave?

Emerald (Lara) whispers to N'laea, "there are two bullywugs out there"

Emerald (Lara) whispers, "can either of you warn the other anyone quietly?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] Take what?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] The skiff

Emerald (Lara) whispers, "can either of you warn the others quietly?"

N'laea (Carissa) squints, "Where? We could use them as bait."

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Let's move forward

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] are you going to tow us?

[Indigo (Lisa)] We'll find it later probably

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea: Tracking check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Master] N’laea does not see any bullywugs

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lol clearly)

Indigo (Lisa) nods

[Master] and tracking across the water is not really possible

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (follow the ripples!)

Emerald (Lara) whispers to Gninthick, "can you quietly warn the others about two bullywugs?"

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I mean.... okay yes but broken branches? moss smears on rocks? things?)

[Master (to Lisa only)] Branwyn can spot two bullywugs to her left (east side of the map) and another set of three just to the right (west of center) ahead

[Master] If you have something to track that way yes, but right now you do not have anything to track

[N'laea (Carissa)] (le sigh)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (the light reflects differently off the water here, something has passed recently and the surface tension is still thin)

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Master only)] are they close together?

[Gninthick (Master)] How quiet do you want to be?

[Talwin (Michael)] (Guys, I only got a few minutes left. I am so sorry.)

[Emerald (Lara) (to Master only)] how far away are they?

[Talwin (Michael)] (Not rushing you, just keeping you posted)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Are they in killing range?

[Emerald (Lara)] (to N'laea) I'm trying to figure that out

[Master (to Lara only)] Bullywugs are 250 feet away the skiff with Indigo and Tiberius is 35 feet away

[N'laea (Carissa)] Well if you are loud, perhaps they'll move and the turtle will show to eat them...

[Master] OK and about to go into Combat Rounds just to track everything

[N'laea (Carissa)] Or perhaps it'll attack us because you are loud

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so don't do anything?)

[Master] but you do not see anything yet on the map other than what the observation has given Emerald and Branwyn

[Emerald (Lara)] (who has better hearing? Indigo or Tiberius?)

[Master] If you have something to do

[Master] before I start

[Master] feel free

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I was going to blast the bullywugs to see if that caused a commotion)

[Emerald (Lara)] (Emerald does---who has better hearing? Indigo or Tiberius?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I like commotions)

[Master] You would have to guess Lara

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I like blasting them)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hope they are standing next to each other)

Indigo (Lisa) ducks underwater and starts moving forward looking for the turtle

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 45'01".

[Indigo (Lisa)] (he doesn't have obs so not sure how to track if he sees stuff)

[Master] If he sees something I will let you know

[Master] how far can he swim underwater?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (ok - I trust you)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I dunno - I moved him half)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (hold on, I have rules up)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (thanks)

[Master] All proficient characters are able to swim at one half their current land movement rate time 10 in yards,

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Characters with the swimming proficiency can swim at a rate of one half their movement times five in yards.)

[Master] Proficient swimmers can double their swimming speed if a successful strength check is rolled versus one half the character's normal strength score.

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

[Indigo (Lisa)] (he's not swimming like laps though - he is kind breast stroking it under the surface)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Swimming

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] so ... should I lower the water now?

[Master] Characters with the swimming proficiency can swim at a rate of one half their movement times five in yards.

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] I mean he is doing so well, maybe not

[Master] grins TMO was quoting underwater, I was quoting above water

[Master] we are both on the same page

[N'laea (Carissa)] (right now it's bullywugs... maybe turtle will show in a minute to know what water to remove?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (ok, phew)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so I will go further)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I was all like HOW ARE WE QUOTING DIFFERENT THINGS FROM THE SAME PAGE???)

[Master] Indigo is underwater no armor so can go

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Spring unless you can drain a huge section we don't know where it is yet. I'm ok with you guessing if you want)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 78'09".

Indigo (Lisa) he swims to the first land bank

[Master] Is he under water or on the surface?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (where he will get attacked by the bullywug)

[Master] INIT: 9 GOING: N'laea

[Master] Carissa you are up

[Indigo (Lisa)] (assuming he saw nothing since I trust you)

[Indigo (Lisa)] :)

[Carissa] N'laea targets Bullywug #40. Distance: 171'05"

[Master] lots of bushes in there

[N'laea (Carissa)] (is it a called shot because of the crowded raft?)

[Master] you cannot see it

[N'laea (Carissa)] (cannot see any of them?)

[Master] the two over to the east yes

[Master] but not that one you targeted

[Carissa] N'laea no longer targets Bullywug #40.

[Carissa] N'laea targets Bullywug #34. Distance: 240'11"

[Master] cuts through the tree there too

[Master] so maybe not any of them from where you are

[N'laea (Carissa)] (if there is no clear shot right now I'll hold)

[Carissa] N'laea no longer targets Bullywug #34.

[N'laea (Carissa)] (and then brb real quick)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (sorry, got distracted)

[Emerald (Lara)] (I don’t know what my options are...should I move us forward?)

[Master] the raft already did move forward as far as it could

[N'laea (Carissa)] (seems the gnomes are)

[Master] It is near the bank now of that island

[Emerald (Lara)] (the bullywug #40 is out of my range, correct?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you can guess because the swimmers and brer made it that the area you are in is relatively safe - my guess))

[Master] He would be hard to see for Branwyn

[Master] he is behind bushes

[Master] DOH sorry Emerald

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (40 out of range for what?)

[Master] Yes Emerald can see him

[Emerald (Lara)] (but Emerald can see plainly, yes?)

[Master] what did you want to do?

[Emerald (Lara)] (kill it)

[Master] How?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Indigo is going to kill it in a second if you want to save a spell)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (oh there is one visible?)

[Master] not to Thistle or Raelyn

[Emerald (Lara)] (okay, I will pass)

[Master] Ys to N’laea

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Emerald is on the boat with N'laea who held)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (so this time yes, can shoot at #40?)

[Emerald (Lara)] (it is 127 feet away from Emerald)

[Master] from the raft yes

[Indigo (Lisa)] (N’laea can probably see 40 now if she can)

[Carissa] N'laea targets Bullywug #40. Distance: 128'09"

[Indigo (Lisa)] (well hope not when he has no hps after fighting 5 by himself)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] ('ve been fighting the z monster for about an hour and a half)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lol no, just not thinking much on bullywugs beyond if I see em shoot em)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we should have skipped watches if everyone is going to clear out)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I don't remember where the lair was supposed to be)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sigh)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I think the battle will be next week)

[Master] It is marked on the map Spring

[N'laea (Carissa)] (at this rate... but let us fill the swamp with turtle feed first)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (supposed to be tonight - this is ridiculous)

[Master] The battle is right now

[Master] ROUND: 4

[Master] OK so do we continue? Going forward with the plan? Or pause and wait for next week? BUT this will end next week, either the turtle is dead or the characters are dead, we need to end things

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes we keep going)

[Master] INIT: 3 GOING: Indigo

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (we don't have Talwin if it matters)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (we do?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (we all knew this was tonight)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (or Lara)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (oh, I missed that, I'm so sorry.)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (a few distractions here along the way)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (watches were a huge mistake)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (if we pause here, big battle would be first thing next week, but is everyone able to make it next week?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but anyway - they are too far apart for Indigo to hit more than one)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (gosh I hope so)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so he will hold and let them come to him and then get full attacks)

[Master] You are here now

[N'laea (Carissa)] (barely - if we weren't expecting a massive battle I'd log off now)

[Master] Spring you will be in at the beginning next week?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (if you want to log off then cast heat resistance on my characters and we will fight the turtle)

[Master] The characters are separated by many yards now, it is a touch spell

[Lisa] Sorry but this is really frustrating that it takes so long to get anything done

[Master] will take rounds to get to them to cast it on them

[Lisa] That is what I asked at the beginning - if the heat spell was touch

[Carissa] I know. That's why I was hoping there'd be more talk on the site

[Lisa] whatever

[Spring] at the beginning of the week?

[Carissa] And that watches wouldn't take that long

[Lisa] but that info was not on the site

[Carissa] No, I missed that part.

[Spring] oh at the beginning of the night. I can be

[Carissa] But even if I cast it earlier, it would be gone by now

[Carissa] I haven't seen a good opening for it

[Lisa] or put Raelynn close to the fighters

[Lisa] so we are quitting to be safe?

[Carissa] I just don't have the ability to think right now. Or you're right, I could have started at least moving Raelynn closer or tried.

[Lisa] was that a yes or no?

[Master] I think stopping now is the best to be safe

[Carissa] Safe in the sense that bad decisions are made when we can't think

[Master] then next week is win or lose

[Lisa] sigh - who said this game was safe?

[Carissa] Like letting lightning be cast in water because I was too tired to think that through to stop it

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I honestly haven't been able to think all day)

[Lisa] I'm done

[Master] everyone is where they are

Lisa has left the game on Fri Feb 19 23:03:43 EST 2021

[Master] I do hope people will read the site and be in right away

[Carissa] Well, guess that decision is made. I'd rather at least enjoy a dangerous battle by letting myself consider what I'm doing.

[Master] as we start clicking the rounds off

[Carissa] Not sure much else to put on site. We made our plans earlier. We just have to follow them through now.

[Spring] we just have to get through all this water and critterz

[Master] reading will help make it clear that everyone will die if they do not log in and help

[TMO] anybody need anything from me?

[Carissa] Ah lovely

[Master] everyone is on this map

[Master] no way to say that "Talwin is one round behind" when he is right there at that tree

[TMO] I have a potential replacement PC idea, but not sure it's hooked my interest. *shrug*

[Carissa] I have nothing more to add right now so going to call it. Night.

Carissa has left the game on Fri Feb 19 23:06:10 EST 2021

[TMO] g'nite

[Master] have a good night all

TMO has left the game on Fri Feb 19 23:06:16 EST 2021
