[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Hey there

[Lisa] Hello!

[Master] No word from anyone

[Master] I am leaving everyone on the cave map

[Lisa] ok

[Master] we can move people off or onto it as needed

[Master] How is your arm?

[Master] and do you want to test Combat to see if it freaks your system out?

[Master] Welcome TMO

[TMO] howdy

[Master] How are you recovering from the visits?

[TMO] oh, just fine. Sorry to miss out on two weeks in a row

[Master] no worries, Lisa and Carissa handled an Umber Hulk

[Master] tonight is a different encounter to wrap up mining and path construction

[TMO] sure. anything that happened that I need to know about immediately?

[Master] N'laea and Raelynn went off to Loosend for training

[Master] so if Carissa gets to come she will play Thistle

[TMO] kk

[Master] Sundown moved 34'03".

[Master] Indigo moved 19'02".

[Master] Howard Plum moved 29'01".

[Master] Tiffress Wildwander moved 36'05".

[Lisa] Hi TMO!

[TMO] hola!

[Lisa] We killed the Incredible Hulk last week

[TMO] purple with green pants?

[Lisa] Isn't he green?

[TMO] yes, but isn't umber a style pf purple? ergo, an umber hulk should wear green pants.

[TMO] I put way too much thought into my dumb jokes....

[Master] LOL

[Lisa] lol

[Master] I have you all on the map where the encounter will be

[TMO] kill anything that moves

[Master] But this takes place two days after the previous encounter

TMO eyes his compatriots to see if any of them move

[Lisa] how did Indigo get healed?

[Master] OH maybe that was what kicked you

[Master] the sound from him being healed

[Master] I gave him two days of healing

[Lisa] did you ping Ryan and Michael?

[Master] No I will do that now

[Master] pinged both

[Master] and Indigo can explain to Brer what happened

[Master] along with Howard's attack on him

[Indigo (Lisa)] You should have been there Brer. That thing was bigger than a bugbear and was collapsing the mine all around him!

[Indigo (Lisa)] He was also magic. he didn't get me or N'laea but he spelled Sundown and Howard.

[Indigo (Lisa)] They started attacking us

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm.. I'm sorry I was busy.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Howard zapped me with his magic. So I whacked him in the head and knocked him out

[Indigo (Lisa)] We couldn't knock Sundown out but N'laea pushed him around until the spell wore off

[Indigo (Lisa)] I thought you had to be smart to do magic. This thing didn't look very smart

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "He is a strong fighter. I'm glad you didn't have to hurt him."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh we wouldn't have really hurt him.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm.. some beasts or creatures seem to do magic instinctively.

[Indigo (Lisa)] And Raelynn was there to heal him

[Indigo (Lisa)] It was really strange. It was like they could see us but not know it was us so they tried to attack us

[Indigo (Lisa)] It didn't have any treasure. Tiffress said he was probably just hungry.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmmm.. it's possible. And mind magic can be very tricky to fight. I've had to do it a few times.

[Indigo (Lisa)] l can tell you I'd rather get hit with a sword than getting hit with magic. Didn't see it coming at all and then whap!

[Sundown (Master)] I agree with Indigo

[Sundown (Master)] It was horrible to not know what I was doing

[Indigo (Lisa)] Feeling better?

[Sundown (Master)] and to know that I would have not succumbed to that to that in the past

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I've heard a story about a group whose wizard got controlled and he attacked them all with a fireball spell.

Indigo (Lisa) eyes widen

[Indigo (Lisa)] Did he kill them?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] The story didn't say so. It claimed they were able to break it somehow.

[Sundown (Master)] Indigo used his swords to break it

[Sundown (Master)] Thank you for that Indigo

[Sundown (Master)] I would have felt much worse if I had hurt you

Brer Necholas (TMO) puts his hand on Sundown's shoulder. "Don't dwell on it, Sun. You've done everything as best you could."

[Indigo (Lisa)] No problem. Sorry we had to hit you to stop you. But we're good now and the thing is dead

[Sundown (Master)] I am worried it will be back

[Sundown (Master)] well not IT but another it

[Sundown (Master)] we need Skarp or someone to look for those tunnels

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's a good idea. He knows about all the underground stuff

[Indigo (Lisa)] Boy the elves were not happy being down there

[Indigo (Lisa)] They like sky. Then they just left!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] And the dwarf doesn't like being on the surface...

[Indigo (Lisa)] They said they were coming back though

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "That's good. They're odd, but seem to be good people."

[Indigo (Lisa)] I like them.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] It's hard to hold a conversation with them sometimes though. Their perspective on things is very different.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I guess. I just ignore the parts when they say they are older and better than everyone else and listen to the rest.

Brer Necholas (TMO) chuckles.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] That's probably the best approach.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] The younger one seems to be very curious about our lifestyles though.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Asks lots of questions.

[Indigo (Lisa)] And there's a new god to learn about. So many of them!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hers seems nice

Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles. "I find it best to focus on the one that best suits you."

[Indigo (Lisa)] But if you make friends with different priests than you can have a whole bunch of gods looking out for you

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] There's nothing wrong with making friends with different priests, but that doesn't mean you need to follow all the different gods.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh I don't follow them like they follow them. But they usually tell me their gods look out for me. I think that's good.

[Sundown (Master)] Can more than one god look out for you ?

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "But for you personally, you should find the god that appeals the most to you, and focus all of your faith there. You'll get nowhere diluting your faith among a half dozen gods.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Why not?

[Sundown (Master)] Does that mean they are competing over you?

Indigo (Lisa) thinks

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think they have to fight over me.

Indigo (Lisa) grins

[Indigo (Lisa)] It seems like they all live in different houses so one probably doesn't even know what the others are doing

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I doubt the gods themselves are fighting over you, although almost anything is possible I suppose. Rather, I think the churches are more interested in the political gain and influence they'd get from having you as a convert.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Never forget that though gods are pure, everything you hear about them is filtered through fallible mortal mouths.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (apparently in an alliterative mood tonight)

[Indigo (Lisa)] No one's ever tried to convert me and make me go to temples or anything.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] There'd be no harm in going though.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I guess

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you go to temples and pray?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] As often as I can.

[Indigo (Lisa)] you are living around here now so you could go almost every day couldn't you?

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "And even if I don't go into the church, I still pray."

[Indigo (Lisa)] And you aren't even a priest

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Prayer isn't only for priests.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] It's for everyone.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I suppose

[Sundown (Master)] I am ready for you to have this encounter when you are ready

Brer Necholas (TMO) stabs the shadows.

[Master] I am ready for you to have this encounter when you are ready

[Master] grins

[Indigo (Lisa)] (forgot to get Howard spells back if it's been 2 days)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (2 minutes)

[Indigo (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Howard Plum modified: Spells - CHANGED: Magic Missile -- # Memorized: 3 (+2), CHANGED: Wall of Sand -- # Memorized: 0 (null),

[Indigo (Lisa)] (ok)

[Indigo (Lisa)] What's going on now?

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] SIR INDIGO!!!!!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (a half dozen umber babies seeking revenge)

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ack!

[Indigo (Lisa)] What now?

[Indigo (Lisa)] There seem to be a lot of problems

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] We I mean

Tiffress Wildwander (Master) coughs

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] sorry

Indigo (Lisa) looks at Brer

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] We started to plan a new mine

Brer Necholas (TMO) is listening.

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] There is a new silver mine we were going to start

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] then we hit a nest of Ankhegs

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] we need to deal with them

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] as they started to follow us

[Indigo (Lisa)] Too bad the hulk thing didn't eat them before we killed him

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] now we are worried that they are going to infest the Copper Fire Mine

[Indigo (Lisa)] Know how many there are?

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] There were two that I saw

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's not bad

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] but with all those heads

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] who knows how many really are there

[Indigo (Lisa)] We should go

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Don't those usually only have 1 head?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I thought so

[Indigo (Lisa)] (thought Tiffress was going to respond so was waiting)

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] (sorry)

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] I only saw one head at a time

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] but they were chasing me

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] so I did not stop and take count very much

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Chasing you?

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] I was exploring

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Attack: Tacharin; one hand:: is now ARMED.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Did you bring them here?

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] they chased me

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] No, not this far

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] but yes to the Copper Fire Mine

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] I am afraid they area near there now

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] and know there are already easy tunnels for them

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods and looks to Indigo for direction.

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] We just need someone to come fireball them

Tiffress Wildwander (Master) looks at Howard

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I don't know how to make fireballs

Tiffress Wildwander (Master) open jaw

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] I thought all mages did

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] are you really a mage?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] And why would you want your entire mine engulfed in flames?

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] Didn't Branwyn teach you ?

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] Stone does not burn

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Yes! Of course I am

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Should we have this conversation while walking?

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] Certainly

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yeah. Let's go

[Master] Ok so Sundown will go with you

[Master] the rest of you are there?

[Master] on that map

[Master] Howard and Indigo?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I’m on caves)

Howard Plum (Lisa) as they set off "You see Tiffress, all mages are not alike. They like to make spells their own and so forth ..."

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (yes)

[Master] Yes to everyone being on Caves map

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] OH making your own spells?

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] that is something you do?

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] Can you make me a spell?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] But ... no ... you can't make spells for everyone

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] Why not?

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] You could make a spell to find a new mine?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] That would be difficult in the Mist.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] That would need divining and those types of spells do not work under this Mist

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] that is sad

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] maybe the Mist does not matter underground?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Hmmm ... I had not thought of that. I should do research on that

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Thank you Tiffress. You have given me something to consider

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (miles away Branwyn is cringing)

Brer Necholas (TMO) grunts.

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] OH here we are

Howard Plum (Lisa) tries not to think about the ankheg that had killed him so many years back

Tiffress Wildwander (Master) leads you to the entrance to the nearby caves

[Master] so you have these caves

[Master] that are part of the hills

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Mine!)

[Master] there is no organized mines here

[Master] grins

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (these mines are mine!)

[Master] groans

[Master] you know you are looking for ankhegs

[Master] you have this opening

[Master] and Tiff is sticking outside this time

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Did anyone bring the ankheg bait?

[Master] as a gnome she would be swallowed

Indigo (Lisa) puts on his light buckle

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We should surround Howard.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] One of us on each side.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Why?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] In case once comes from behind.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] You'll definitely hear if that happened!

[Master] Combat has finished.

[Master] Sundown moved 16'06".

Sundown (Master) binds Howard

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 14'05".

[Indigo (Lisa)] How is he?

Indigo (Lisa) shakes Ankheg guts off him

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] No, no, Sun. That's your private bedroom binding style. We don't use leather for wounds. (j/k)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Man! I don't like those things

[Master] HAH

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (why does the one ankheg have a bloody skull on it while the others are just red?)

[Master] one was slain in the combat the others are bleeding

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (gotcha)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Anything inside the one that ate me?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (your boot)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

Brer Necholas (TMO) goes over to Sundown's side to see how he is.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas moved 14'11".

[Indigo (Lisa)] We're going to have to carry him back

Indigo (Lisa) looks around "Think that's all of them. Don't hear anything else"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (dang - I got confused - I was thinking Sundown was the unconscious one for a minute there... no clue what synapse went wrong)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Sundown is next to Howard so it still makes sense)

[Master] yes Lair treasure

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Lair Loot!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (good news)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm glad he's alright. We can get him back easily enough.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We should be alert, just in case there are more. But I trust your ears.

[Master] 6 d100 please

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (6d100) [6d100=80,47,18,43,46,26] 260

[Master] and sorry no to all

[Master] they have no lair treasure

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (boo!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that sucked)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Better get Howard back and in a bed

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I agree.

[Indigo (Lisa)] With all the priests off apraying he might have to sleep this off

[Master] moving you to the church

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] fwosh!

[Master] So later that day you manage to make it back to the Cathedral

[Master] everyone is there

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe you could get Baron Ulgin to help Howard?

[Indigo (Lisa)] He's still going to have to sleep but at least he'll know he's doing it

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I will talk to him.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thanks!

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Hello

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] How are you Brother Brer

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm well, thanks. We have an injured man on our hands, if there's anything you can do to help him. He'll live, but is badly hurt.

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] I will be glad to help in a time of need

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Thank you.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm sorry to have to bother you.

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Not at all

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] I am here to make sure that people have access to the grace they need

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] A worthy goal. You've met Howard, I believe?

Brer Necholas (TMO) shows him to Howard's body.

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] He looks very close

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Too close for comfort.

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] He will live, he is strong,

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] and the Countess will appreciate that he was treated well

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "Branwyn doesn't have weak apprentices."

[Master] Howard Plum's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 21 (26) - Unharmed

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] Welcome back Howard

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Huh? What happened?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] The ankheg!

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (did he do a raise dead?)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] (no just lots of healing)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (oh - because Sundown bound in same round? )

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] yes

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (that almost never happens!)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Thank you Baron!

Howard Plum (Lisa) tentatively stands up and finds he has his strength to do so

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I feel almost like new. Please let me know if I can be of service to you in repayment

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (test)

[Baron Ulgin (Master)] You can make sure that the Protectorate is strong

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I shall try

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] Thank you everyone

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm just glad you were able to find us.

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] I am so happy that Strasilo is safe

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] we will be able to start really mining

[Tiffress Wildwander (Master)] I will report back Sir Sundown

[Sundown (Master)] Thank you

Sundown (Master) looks at Indigo

[Sundown (Master)] Are you happy Sir Indigo?

[Sundown (Master)] is there anything that you need from me?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm happy. Howard is well and I didn't get permanently eaten

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you need to go somewhere Sundown?

[Sundown (Master)] Not at all

[Indigo (Lisa)] We should probably get to one of those haunted villages soon

[Sundown (Master)] I am just making sure we have everything settled for you

[Sundown (Master)] I feel like you are here as the Countess' voice

[Indigo (Lisa)] I was eating during Snee's meeting but it sounded like there was a long list of things to do

[Indigo (Lisa)] Bah! I'm here because I have been sitting home too long

[Indigo (Lisa)] But you have the list now that you are the Steward of the Protectorate

Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles slightly under his hood.

[Indigo (Lisa)] What's next on the list?

[Sundown (Master)] As far as I can tell there is the requests from Red Fern Lake to deal with a village they do not want to deal with

[Sundown (Master)] and of course the Governor wants to make Hourglass more habitable

[Indigo (Lisa)] Red Fern Lake is nice. We should grab Snee and the others and head out there

[Indigo (Lisa)] What do we have to do in Hourglass?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I need to step away for a few minutes. bbs)

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Sundown (Master)] There are only the handful of buildings that we have built the rest of the old town needs to be reclaimed

[Indigo (Lisa)] Which do you think we should do first?

[Sundown (Master)] I think we should work from the farthest out and home

[Sundown (Master)] as we can work on Hourglass slowly but surely as we just live

[Sundown (Master)] but the distant places need people to visit

[Indigo (Lisa)] Makes sense.

[Indigo (Lisa)] So we eat and sleep and head out in the morning?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Well eat and sleep and then eat again and then head out

[Master] waiting for TMO

[Lisa] yup

[Lisa] I'll DM Michael this weekend

[Lisa] (I'll see if I can loop you and Carissa in - I think you can do that and not have it be in main chat

[Master] nods

[Lisa] usually he would respond to you

[Master] nods and he did not today

[Lisa] we had an interpersonal communication lunch thing this week at work

[Lisa] put a figure up about male female discussion - said something like - just because you are right, does not mean I am wrong. You just haven't seen life from my side

[Lisa] Made me think of the other week

[Master] nods

[Lisa] something like that

[Lisa] just wanted to say really - when you say this, I feel that

[Lisa] and I guess I didn't do a good job of that

[Lisa] so will try it in a DM and see

[Lisa] on an unrelated note - it sucks that we will probably never get rid of Black Cloak's daughter from the church entrance

[Master] grins

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lisa] hello

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (sorry for the delay of game)

[Lisa] no worries

[Lisa] Sundown laid out some options for us to continue on our task list

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (what do we know about Hourglass so far? I don't think I've been involved in any stories set there yet)

[Lisa] me either

[Lisa] other than haunted and tents

[Lisa] some time thing

[Lisa] Spring knows the most about it

[Lisa] not sure how much is IC or OOC though

[Lisa] but Snee lives there now so she should have learned a bit

[Lisa] but alas she is driving

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (put her on speakerphone)

[Master] grins

Carissa (LP) has joined the game on Fri Apr 02 22:15:06 EDT 2021

Carissa (LP) is receiving the map Church Ground Floor...

[TMO] (yayyy!)

[Lisa] Hi Carissa!

Carissa (LP) has received the map Church Ground Floor.

[Carissa (LP)] this internet sucks

[Carissa (LP)] but hi!

[Carissa (LP)] Probably won't be on too long but wanted to decompress :P

[TMO] I was going to make a zip file joke there, but it came out something like this "TMO unzips Carissa", and that's just *wrong*

[Carissa (LP)] LOL just definitely reads wrong

[Master] chuckles

[Lisa] lol

[TMO] so, you missed Indigo getting eaten again

[Carissa (LP)] So the usual?

[TMO] yup

[Carissa (LP)] By what this time?

[Master] and Howard almost dying

[Lisa] yes same ol' same ol'

[TMO] another Ankheg

[Master] different Ankheg

[Carissa (LP)] I like coming back to the familiar. This is good.

[Carissa (LP)] One ankheg or two?

[TMO] 3

[Carissa (LP)] There is not enough Indigo to share between 3

[TMO] third one blindsided Howard, then everybody missed it, and then it tried to disembowel him

[Carissa (LP)] kLoOge randomly froze on me

[Carissa (LP)] Anyways, wasn't it Ankhegs that killed Howard before? Or was it just near death then too?

[Master] you are only slushy now

[Carissa (LP)] All of me? My brain has been slush most of today.

[Lisa] no that was total death

[TMO] meetings will do that to you

[Lisa] you are right

[Carissa (LP)] yay I remembered a thing correctly today!

[Lisa] yay!

[Carissa (LP)] I just keep telling myself, this will be a good deployment. I'll just be brain dead most of it and that's ok

[Carissa (LP)] I can probably give you to 10:30 before I fall asleep. Anything you need/want from me while I'm here?

[Lisa] I hope so. You are doing a very good thing!

[Lisa] In the next 7 minutes?

[Lisa] 6

[Master] They will be heading down the road towards Red Fern Lake

[Master] Redfern Lake

[Master] (one word)

[Carissa (LP)] It's exciting! We're the guinea pigs for the first mobile MOBILE units. So homeless encampments, migrant farmers, those that'd otherwise be missed. It'll be nice.

[Carissa (LP)] I'll give you 7. 10:31 then.

[Lisa] lol

[TMO] so generous

[Carissa (LP)] lol

[Lisa] There are migrant farmers in Maryland?

[Carissa (LP)] Chicken farms, and more to my surprise, mushroom farms?

[Lisa] lol

[Master] LOL

[Lisa] Wow

[Master] so you will have lots of info for us

[TMO] seen a Dirty Jobs episode on those

[Carissa (LP)] Yeah. Universe has been very on point lately, lol

[Master] So when you are ready to talk to the people in Redfern Lake I am here, Carissa has Thistle

[TMO] game whenever

[Carissa (LP)] will see what I can do

[Lisa] sure

[Lisa] Thistle takes the lead and talks to the villagers

TMO gets the popcorn

[Carissa (LP)] why are we here again to talk about what?

[Carissa (LP)] then sure, she can do that

[Lisa] We've come to rescue you!

[Carissa (LP)] not well, probably get nothing useful, but she can talk

[Lisa] Disappearing wagons

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] HELLLOOOOOOOO

[Lisa] wagons disappearing in the disappearing village?

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (ahhh that problem okay)

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Hello Young Girl

[Indigo (Lisa)] (think so)

[Old Man Miller (Master)] It is good to see you

[Old Man Miller (Master)] INDIGO!

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] We're here to save you!

[Old Man Miller (Master)] It has been forever that I have seen you

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Welcome Brother

Indigo (Lisa) waves "Hello Miller!"

Brer Necholas (TMO) stands off to one side of the friendly gathering.

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods politely. "Miller."

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Do you know anything about wagons disappearing or something?

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] We're supposed to save them.

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I have not taken any wagons

[Old Man Miller (Master)] But I can tell you that you are most likely looking for a different place

[Indigo (Lisa)] No that Otsunami place

Thistle (Carissa (LP)) shrugs

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Otsutan

[Indigo (Lisa)] Didn't you send the help message?

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Otstootan?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I only let Branwyn the Magnificent know that there were problems along Farmers Turn that she would want to know about

[Old Man Miller (Master)] they have been happening for as long as I can remember

[Old Man Miller (Master)] but now she is here and making sure that things get better

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] The Bright! Not Magnificent. It doesn't even start with the same letter.

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

[Indigo (Lisa)] How are we supposed to find a village that's disappeared?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] What I know

[Old Man Miller (Master)] is that over night

[Old Man Miller (Master)] there are people who sometimes camp

[Old Man Miller (Master)] and then never are seen again

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Did something eat them, too?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] some said the forest is haunted

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Old Man Miller (Master)] but Farmers Turn does not come that close to the wood

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Valoris?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Yes

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Oh. No, it's just me. I like trying to scare people.

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Shi said I shouldn't but she hasn't really tried to stop me sooooo

[Old Man Miller (Master) (to TMO only)] you have not heard of this town otsutan before

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to Master only)] just checking

[Old Man Miller (Master) (to TMO only)] but there are always rumors

[Indigo (Lisa)] Is there a mark on the road to tell us where to look?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] There is a place where you can see where the town is/was

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Was or is?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Yes

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Ummm

[Indigo (Lisa)] And that's where people camp and disappear?

Thistle (Carissa (LP)) clearly confused

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Sometimes

[Indigo (Lisa)] And it's not just the people but all the stuff disappears too?

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Were they real people?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I think that there are stuff left over or how would people know that they had disappeared

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] But how do you know someone isn't just putting it there to MAKE you think there were people there?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh I thought the message said the wagons disappeared too

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] ...which seems like a really fun prank....

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hmmmm

[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Maybe I should take notes...

Thistle (Carissa (LP)) walks off to find paper

[Carissa (LP)] (Fading but you gained 9 minutes more!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Anything else going on?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Not that I know of

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I am happy you are here Indigo

[Carissa (LP)] (Hopefully see you at least briefly next Friday. Night all!)

Carissa (LP) has left the game on Fri Apr 02 22:41:03 EDT 2021

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Goodnight!!)

[Old Man Miller (Master)] It is very good to have you here to show that Dragon Fen is looking out for people

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I am appreciative of that

[Indigo (Lisa)] We always do that

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Medipop has paid more attention also because of that

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's good

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Yes

Brer Necholas (TMO) listens quietly to the conversation.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Sounds like we can't stay the night here though

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Here? certainly!

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I would be glad to host you Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] If we want to catch the people stealers we have to spend the night at the road

[Old Man Miller (Master)] you and your friends are always welcome

[Old Man Miller (Master)] that is true too

[Indigo (Lisa)] Won't we Brer?

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "That sounds reasonable to me."

[Old Man Miller (Master)] no one has spent any significant time there to solve it

[Indigo (Lisa)] Or they have and they disappeared

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] No known bandits in the area?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] There are always bandits, but the rumors about people disappearing do not seem to be from bandits

[Old Man Miller (Master)] or even goblins

[Old Man Miller (Master)] or other creatures

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe a portal opens and people go to a different plane

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Can they do that?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I thought that was why...

[Indigo (Lisa)] Seems like a good way to make people disappear

Old Man Miller (Master) whispers Branwyn sent me people

Brer Necholas (TMO) 's head tilts slightly.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Huh?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I have had visitors a couple of years ago

[Old Man Miller (Master)] that Branwyn sent my way

[Old Man Miller (Master)] she was very good to reimburse me for expenses

[Old Man Miller (Master)] for people who needed privacy with The Mist

[Indigo (Lisa)] The ones that ripped your roof off?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Branwyn was very good about repaying

Brer Necholas (TMO) glances upward involuntarily.

[Indigo (Lisa)] They went home though didn't they?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Everyone years ago

[Old Man Miller (Master)] We have been quiet here for a while

[Master] Yes Lisa has wheels turning now

[Indigo (Lisa)] They all left but Mr. Silver stayed

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I really need to go through and take notes on what Brer's heard and gathered.... ;) )

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I am glad you were here to take care of things

[Indigo (Lisa)] He was the one making trouble for Snee

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Mr. Silver?

[Indigo (Lisa)] You sent him

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I have not seen him for two years?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I am not quite sure but it has been a long time

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm..

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I told him to thank Branwyn for me

[Old Man Miller (Master)] the last I saw him

[Master] to be clear yes the timelines do not match up

[Indigo (Lisa)] You didn't tell him to tell Snee to stop building our road or else?

[Indigo (Lisa)] That wasn't very nice. You should know by now we wouldn't hurt you

[Indigo (Lisa)] After all this time of us knowing you

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I have no clue what you are talking about Indigo

Indigo (Lisa) looks at Brer

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Mr. Silver claimed to be representing you.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] As I remember it.

[Old Man Miller (Master)] I have no idea

[Indigo (Lisa)] So ... if you didn't send him then he sent him and he doesn't like the road because it takes the traffic from the other road where people disappear?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Were there rumors of disappearing people before Mr. Silver came here in that area?

[Indigo (Lisa)] And we told him that we would send people that wanted to go to you and Medipop on the Farmer's Turn where they are now disappearing

Indigo (Lisa) thinking really hard

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Oh yes this town has had a reputation for decades or longer

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] At a guess, maybe Mr. Silver has an interest in the area the road is supposed to run through? If so, he probably doesn't care about the disappearances, just that the road not interfere with his plans.

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Not that I know of

[Indigo (Lisa)] Why would he have plans? He doesn't live here

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Mr. Silver came to us only because of Branwyn

[Indigo (Lisa)] Or he didn't

[Indigo (Lisa)] And he doesn't come to Dragon Fen or to Miller's either I guess

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Perhaps he saw something in the area that interested him and decided to stay. And the road is going to interfere somehow.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't understand

[Indigo (Lisa)] Can I have an ale please before we go to find the road?

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs. "I don't know Mr. Silver at all, so I'm just guessing."

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Brings out ales

[Old Man Miller (Master)] and food

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Perhaps we can set ourselves up in a circle of invisibility and I could set an alarm in case of intruders and we see what we catch

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] You can do that?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Thank you Mr. Miller

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I have my invisibility spell and I recently learned an alarm spell but I have yet to use it besides practice

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Interesting. Thank you Miller.

Brer Necholas (TMO) sets out some coins to cover his food and drink.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (When an alarm spell is cast, the wizard causes a selected area to react to the presence of any creature larger than a normal rat--anything larger than about ½ cubic foot in volume or more than about three pounds in weight. The area of effect can be a portal, a section of floor, stairs, etc. As soon as any creature enters the warded area, touches it, or otherwise contacts it without speaking a password established by the caster, the alarm spell lets out a loud ringing that can be heard clearly within a 60-footradius. (Reduce the radius by 10 feet)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (the space is only a 20 ft cube though)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so would need to be placed in the most likely place that people would pass)

Old Man Miller (Master) ignores Brer's money

[Old Man Miller (Master)] Should I save a room for your group Indigo?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Could you send us a message if Mr. Silver ever shows up again?

[Old Man Miller (Master)] If not tonight but when you want to come for a rest and a bath?

[Indigo (Lisa)] You don't need to save it, but we'll be back to report what we find.

[Indigo (Lisa)] This is good food Miller. Thank you!

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods in agreement. "Very."

[Old Man Miller (Master)] (that map shows you the abandoned village and Redfern Lake at scale)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (can we make that in one day?)

[Old Man Miller (Master)] (7 miles apart)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (ok, so yes. just feels waaaaay bigger. :) )

[(Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Howard Plum modified: Spells - CHANGED: Magic Missile -- # Memorized: 2 (+0), CHANGED: Alarm -- # Memorized: 1 (0),

[Master] Scale on the map is correct

[Master] and you can zoom in and out to see where the rest of the Wastes relates

[Master] so you can also see why this is an intermittent problem,

[Master] merchants who want to avoid paying for fees at Redfern Lake might camp there

[Master] it is only a third/quarter of a day away

[Lisa] So maybe we travel there and then call it a night so we can hopefully have a bigger group for next week?

[Master] CLICK you are there

[Master] not a worry

[Lisa] sleep healing?

[Master] you can have whichever supplies you think you might need

[Master] and yes

[Lisa] love all this magic healing

[Master] of course! I would LOVE to let you have a wagon

[Master] grins

[Master] quote

[Lisa] LOL

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (heh)

Brer Necholas (TMO) leaves the coins on the table as he leaves.

[Indigo Lisa] We'll be back soon!

[Lisa] (Indigo again)

[Lisa] I'll try to do a summary this week

[Master] Thanks

[Master] we are at a good point

[TMO] I've been working hard on technical aspects of my campaign, been neglecting this one.

[Lisa] We're fine to go kill stuff but would be nice to have more players for exploring village/non-village

[TMO] just about finished with that though, need to return to story plotting for mine and notes for this one.

[Lisa] Good!

[TMO] it's getting close-ish to the time Brer will be hitting the road again. I need to know what his plans are, and what I'm going to replace him with.

[Master] a thief

[Lisa] we do need one

[TMO] the thief I have currently is not a scout, fyi

[Master] Not sure that matters

[Master] having someone who can do traditional thief things

[Master] will help

[Lisa] I don't think it matters

[Master] Howard Plum XP award: 500. Next level in 19806.

[TMO] yes, a few of those, although I don't have details of course, since I don't have stats or levels iirc. Pretty sure Bob has told me the level, but I haven't done anything with that knowledge. And maybe I did roll at one point too, but if so that was a month or two ago and I don't remember them. ;) should have them stored somewhere though if I did.

[TMO] just gotta dig everything back up again

[TMO] it's been kinda low priority

[Lisa] it's really just up to you how long you want Brer - we like having him

[Master] take your time on it but yes

[Master] as long as you like Brer keep playing him

[Master] when you are done then you get to pick up someone new

[TMO] I like him, but he is and always will be an outsider to these things. He's helpful to the group, but in limited ways. He has his own agenda, which does not mesh with the group's. :)

[TMO] should I share a pic of the prospective rogue yet? ;)

[TMO] or wait til later?

[Lisa] any time you like

[TMO] (I was playing with HeroForge options, making it doesn't commit me to the character yet. :D )

[Lisa] so maybe wait until you are ready

[Lisa] ohh a ginger

[Lisa] :)

[TMO] every character must be distinctive in some way

[Lisa] yes

[Lisa] ok I am going to go stand up for a bit

[TMO] thanks for the game!

[Lisa] see you next week!

[Master] have a great night

[Lisa] Goodnight!

[TMO] et tu brute
