[TMO] hi
[Lisa] Hello!
[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.
[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] so this is the group
[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.
[Spring] hi!
[Master] So lisa and TMO can help Spring bring up to speed
[TMO] iirc, we're camping out in the wilderness trying to discover why wagons and merchants occasionally disappear along this stretch of road.
[Lisa] Did you see the summary for last week?
[Master] and then we can move over to the abandoned town
[TMO] Also, Miller did not ask Mr Silver to act as his intermediary and mess with our plans
[TMO] Silver inserted himself into the operations for unknown reasons
[Spring] i have not been able to see the summary
[Spring] ah well then
[Lisa] That was the big weird news
[Spring] sounds likeva good opportunity to build rapport withbmiller
[Lisa] yes he was never threatening the group
[Spring] i'm typing with one hand becuase there is no place to put my salad down
[Master] SO do you want to be at Miller's still? or off camping?
[Lisa] Spring's decision
[Master] you do have Thistle in case that Carissa comes later on
[Master] I put everyone on the Base Map
[Spring] okie camping i imagine

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (brb- going to go pick up dinner. wif made me wait for the kids to get home 30 minutes ago from 4H, and they're not back still, so I'm allowed to go get it now)
[Spring] :-D
Snezana (Spring) strtetching
[Master] I do not have a character here right now to interact with your group
[Snezana (Spring)] https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/mississippi/weather-radar
[Snezana (Spring)] (i'm between jackson and greenville)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (you want to start? I don't have obs so would just be looking around without profs)
[Master] I think you can talk about what you see etc
[Master] and I can try to give you what I can
[Indigo (Lisa)] Miller said most of the people who disappeared were merchants and not all their stuff disappeared so there might be good things here to find.
[Snezana (Spring)] interesting
Indigo (Lisa) looks around at what is supposed to be an abandoned village
Snezana (Spring) tries to see into some of the windows
[Snezana (Spring)] from aa distance
[Master] there are no buildings
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (What do we see generally?)
[Master] there are obvious foundations
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (how do we know this is the abandoned village?)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (other than the foundations :D )
[Master] old weed lined paths
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Well there aren't any of these merchant wagons still here
[Master] the space is about a half mile or so off Farmers Turn
[Snezana (Spring)] wow whatever happened here took all the walls down
[Master] there is an old path that aparently was there to and from the main road
[Master] this "village" is about 6 buildings
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I can see if there is any magic about
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum casts a spell against : Detect Magic - Wizard: For (2*7) 14 rounds I can detect magic in a 10'x60' path in front of me.
Howard Plum (Lisa) walks around the old building sites
[Master (to Lisa only)] Howard does not see any magic in evidence but he gets a strong sense of magic being used here
Howard Plum (Lisa) looks around and sighs
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I don't see any magic items or spells active now
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] But there is a strong sense of magic having been used here
[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana: Investigation check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!
[Master (to Spring only)] Snee can see that there are scrapes across the foundations of the houses
[Snezana (Spring)] well this is odd
[Snezana (Spring)] see these marks? there are scrape marks across the foundations of the houses
[Indigo (Lisa)] Like from a beast?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] back
[Indigo (Lisa)] (dinner time!)
[Master (to Spring only)] unknown
[Snezana (Spring)] hard to say
[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: Detect Evil Intent: By focusing for an entire round, I can detect evil intent or actions in a location or group up to 60' away and 10' wide.
[Snezana (Spring) (to Master only)] does it look like the scrape marks are on the top surface of the foundations?
[Master (to Spring only)] yes
[Snezana (Spring)] see, right here?
[Snezana (Spring)] across the top surface
[Indigo (Lisa)] So maybe a magic beast tore up the town
[Master (to TMO only)] no evil visible the area looks very normal
[Snezana (Spring)] makes me think the walls were dragged right off
[Snezana (Spring)] like imagine a rope around a house and then towed away? maybe? that's a guess
[Snezana (Spring)] or maybe scraped off with a giant blade?
[Master] yes to Spring
[Snezana (Spring)] (kai caught sight of himself in a mirror and is threatening the other chihuahua)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Why would you move a house?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[Snezana (Spring)] Ż\_(?)_/Ż
[Snezana (Spring)] maybe it was just a method of destruction
[Indigo (Lisa)] See anything evil Brer?
[Snezana (Spring)] although fire would be a lot simpler
Brer Necholas (TMO) shakes his head. "I feel no evil at the moment."
[Snezana (Spring)] i suggest we don't camp in this midst of this
[Snezana (Spring)] put a little distance between us and this maybe?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe by the road?
Snezana (Spring) nodding
[Snezana (Spring)] so that if somebody needs to run for help, it'll be easier
[Snezana (Spring)] i wonder if a mighty wind could have blown the houses away
[Indigo (Lisa)] Wonder how long it will take before something happens
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Or they never got built. Just started.
[Snezana (Spring)] well that is a th0ought
[Master] You do now that the complaint is that people who camp here sometimes disapear
[Indigo (Lisa)] Wind wouldn't make those scrape marks though would it?
[Master] and the houses seem to appear and disapear
[Snezana (Spring)] i would expect wind to treat structures to pieces and blow the pieces into the air
[Snezana (Spring)] so, no, the scrape marks don't make sense for wind to me
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe griffins or dragons?
[Snezana (Spring)] people were saying that the buildings appear and disappear, which also makes no sense
[Master] It is midday for everyone
[Master] so you have hours before dark
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ghost buildings!
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (fancy a short trip to Ravenloft? sounds fun to me)
[Snezana (Spring)] (whee!)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (is there anything else to look at?)
[Master] anythign you can think of I can describe
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If we're where we need to be, we should probably look around the area while it's daytime.
[Master] why has an abandoned village that sometimes makes peopel disapear been left here?
[Snezana (Spring)] (what kind of vegetation between the buildings and among the p-aths?
[Master] mostly scrub some small bushes
[Master] low grass
[Master] you are on the verge of the desert like areas of the wastes
[Snezana (Spring)] (how far is the other abandoned village? can we get there before nightfall?)
[Master] Yes to Spring
[Master] You are there at the first Abandoned Village north of Redfern Lake
[Snezana (Spring)] maybe while we still have daylight we should look at the other abandoned village
[Snezana (Spring)] this one seems to have yielded all the clues it's got at the moment
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] A sound plan.
[Master] The issue is you cannot make it back here before nighfall
[Snezana (Spring)] (do we need to be back here?)
[Snezana (Spring)] (if we do, we better go ahead and make camp near the road)
[Master] If you want to investigate this town (which is the plan) then yes you do not want to go up and not be here at night
Lisa is receiving the map Base Map...
Lisa has received the map Base Map.
[Master] but you have 4 hours or so to explore the area
[Master] I will offer you are about 8 miles from Valoris Wood
[Snezana (Spring)] perhaps we should search a spiral around this area and see if there is anything of interest
[Indigo (Lisa)] Somebody must have stolen all the wagons
[Snezana (Spring)] and then make camp at the limit of visual range
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I can set an alarm spell in the middle of the village when we are ready for sleep to see if anything comes through
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Anything that would trip t
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Interesting idea.
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I like it.
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Thank you!
[Indigo (Lisa)] (do we see any tracks - that we can't identify)
[Snezana (Spring)] i like that idea howard
[Master] no to tracks
Howard Plum (Lisa) smiles
[Indigo (Lisa)] (none of my guys have any useful skills that I haven't tried already)
[Master] I am listening
[Indigo (Lisa)] (are there places in the villages to start a camp fire? like we can see where the misplaced campers were)
[Master] I know this is harder until nightfall
[Master] you can see where
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (do you remember if I rolled Local History last week for this zone? I think I did)
[Master] roll again
[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!
[Master] you know that there was a place here along Farmers Turn
[Master] but you are not sure which of these two places that were "normal"
Brer Necholas (TMO) reviews what little he remembers about thi place, decides it doesn't add anything to what we currently know, and keeps silent.
Brer Necholas (TMO) looks for a good place to place a campfire where we plan to camp.
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas: Fire-building check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!
[Master] yes you have a campfire
[Master] grins
[Master] you want me to just jump you to night?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (se we just canvas the area to make sure there's no unknown hazards)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Is that where we're sleeping or where the disappearing people made fires?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I put the campfire spot where we're planning on camping)
[Snezana (Spring)] i hope it's the first thing
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I can build one at the other location if you want.
Spring is receiving the map Base Map...
Spring has received the map Base Map.
[Snezana (Spring)] hmmm
[Indigo (Lisa)] I was just thinking if we had a fire where people disappeared maybe the disappearers would think they should come back for more people
Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "Can do."
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas: Fire-building check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!
[Snezana (Spring)] so a decoy fire. i like it
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Any other ideas?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Traps, summons, watchers?
[Indigo (Lisa)] We'll have to watch
[Master] I have a plan obviously so you can figure out how you want to investigate and do watches and sleep
[Master] I will be right back restroom
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummm ... I can cut some weeds and grass and bunch it up to look like a person sleeping by the decoy fire
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Assuming it will be night when and if anything happens, do we all have light sources to break out when we need?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] And do we want to rest during the day so we can be up at night?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Or just do an all nighter?
[Snezana (Spring)] yes, i still have the continual light armband
[Snezana (Spring)] but it would be smart to take turns taking a nap until dark
[Indigo (Lisa)] I have my buckle but I can see in the dark
Indigo (Lisa) wanders off to make a fake grass lumpy person
Snezana (Spring) watches indigo and makes a second one
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] everything you have heard is that any incidents happen at night
[Indigo (Lisa)] Think it's only going to work from far away but oh well
Indigo (Lisa) pats his lumpy man
[Snezana (Spring)] better than nothing
[Indigo (Lisa)] Not too close to the fire
Indigo (Lisa) laughs
Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles and does his devotions and cleans his equipment early.
[Snezana (Spring)] i am guessing we have about four hours. why don't some of us nap for two hours and then the rest nap for two
[Snezana (Spring)] then we can all be up to watch at night
Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "Sounds good."
[Master] Time of Day: 07:23 PM. Day 1 Trall, Eap {Late Fall} 1st, 349 SKR.
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I better set the alarm
Howard Plum (Lisa) goes over where the village fire is and casts
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum casts a spell against : Alarm: For (4+(.5*7)) 7.5 hours anything rat-size or larger entering the warded area (20-ft cube) sets off an alarm that lasts 1 rd.
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so fire in center fo 20 ft cube)
[Master] Reading the spell to see if this will trigger it brb
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (Ethereal or astrallyprojected creatures do not trigger an alarm, but flying or levitating creatures, invisiblecreatures, or incorporeal or gaseous creatures do. The caster can dismiss the alarm with asingle word. )
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] grins
[Master] So who is on first watch?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (probably Brer since he can't see at night and doesn't have a light source other than his sword)
[Snezana (Spring)] (may i suggest at least two and probably half of us?
[Master] So Indigo 2nd? Howard 3rd?
[Master] Snee on 1st or 3rd?
[Snezana (Spring)] (i don't think we are doing 3 watches for naptime)
[Master] It is evening now
[Snezana (Spring)] (well there went that carfully crafted plan)
[Master] your plan worked
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (Spring was thinking we'd just pull an all nighter)
[Master] just spell casters still need 8 hours
[Snezana (Spring)] (oh, we are post-nap now?)
[Master] if you want to recover spells and yes post nap
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (only if we want to memorize spells tomorrow)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (if we solve this tonight we can go back to millers and spend the day and night there)
[Snezana (Spring)] (what she said)
[Snezana (Spring)] (heck we could do that even if we don't solve this)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (lol)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (yes)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so everyone up all night)
[Master] OK
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (ok is fine)
[Master] So everyone is on the first watch
[Master] LOL
[Master] that is a quote
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (we're all sitting back to back to back to back)
Farmer (Master) walks up to Indigo
[Farmer (Master)] Hello there
[Farmer (Master)] Why are you camping here?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Huh?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hello
[Farmer (Master)] Who are you?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Shhhh we're trying to capture the disappearing people ghosts
[Farmer (Master)] OH
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo
[Farmer (Master)] that is interesting
[Indigo (Lisa)] Are you a ghost?
[Farmer (Master)] Disapearing ghosts sounds hard to find
Brer Necholas (TMO) looks around.
Farmer (Master) shakes his head, how could I be a ghost
[Indigo (Lisa)] No ghosts who make people disappear
[Farmer (Master)] (yes Brer sees this too)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you want to make me disappear?
[Farmer (Master)] I was just here to warn you that this is a dangerous place
[Farmer (Master)] you might not want to stay around here
[Indigo (Lisa)] Where did you come from?
Snezana (Spring) listening intently
[Farmer (Master)] I live here
[Indigo (Lisa)] We didn't see any farms around here
[Indigo (Lisa)] (chime in!)
[Indigo (Lisa)] You live here here?
[Indigo (Lisa)] In this village?
[Farmer (Master)] There is not a village here
[Farmer (Master)] There used to be
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] What happened to it?
[Farmer (Master)] It disapeared
[Farmer (Master)] Before I was born
[Indigo (Lisa)] Where do you live then?
[Farmer (Master)] Here
[Indigo (Lisa)] There's nothing here though
[Farmer (Master)] I try to go back and forth between here and the forest
[Indigo (Lisa)] Point to your house please
[Farmer (Master)] but I spend most of my time here
Farmer (Master) points off to the southeast towards Valoris
[Indigo (Lisa)] So if you live there why would you want to spend your nights here in the disappeared place?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Isn't it dangerous for you too?
[Farmer (Master)] I always come look to see if the others that were here before are back
[Farmer (Master)] (I will let Howard make an intuition check with a plus 4)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Have you had any luck yet?
[Farmer (Master)] Sadly no I have not found my friends

Brer Necholas (TMO) tilts his head. "I thought this place disappeared before you were born?"
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum: INU check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 8!!
[Farmer (Master) (to Lisa only)] Howard knows that if this is a real person/human he would have triggered the Alarm spell
Howard Plum (Lisa) coughs
[Snezana (Spring)] so have you seen it happen? people disappearing?
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Ahem ...
[Farmer (Master)] Oh yes
[Farmer (Master)] sadly I lost three of my friends
[Farmer (Master)] I did not see them disapear
[Farmer (Master)] but when I came back they were gone
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I think ... I believe you are one of the unfortunates.
[Farmer (Master)] so I keep coming back to see if I can find them
[Snezana (Spring)] wait, what?
[Snezana (Spring)] howard, what have you noticed?
Howard Plum (Lisa) goes to Snee and whispers "He didn't set off the alarm spell"
Snezana (Spring) whispers "does that mean he doesn't have a body?"
Howard Plum (Lisa) looks at Brer and then at the fire "the spell ..."
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Not a real one
Brer Necholas (TMO) takes a half step backward and reaches up under his hood to lift his eyepatch.
[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: Detect Evil Intent: By focusing for an entire round, I can detect evil intent or actions in a location or group up to 60' away and 10' wide.
[Farmer (Master) (to TMO only)] he is not evil
Brer Necholas (TMO) lowers the eyepatch again.
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmmm
[Indigo (Lisa)] Something bad?
[Farmer (Master)] What could be bad?
Brer Necholas (TMO) shakes his head. "No."
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] When did your friends disappear?
[Snezana (Spring)] he has good instincts
[Farmer (Master)] Just the other night
[Farmer (Master)] I think about a week ago?
[Indigo (Lisa)] You said it was dangerous here. What's so dangerous?
[Farmer (Master)] THere are wolves

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hi Carissa!)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (hi)
[Carissa (LP)] (Hi all!)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (we're talking to a DP)
[Snezana (Spring)] (hi Carissa!)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Disappeared Person. But they don't know it)
Indigo (Lisa) takes out a silver piece from his pouch
[Carissa (LP)] (ahh got it; will read and may jump in - tired so we'll see what I can do)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Would you like some coin to help you?
Indigo (Lisa) flips it towards the farmer
Indigo (Lisa) watches to see if he catches it
Farmer (Master) farmer Catches it and the coin also falls onto the ground behind him
[Indigo (Lisa)] Whoa!
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Offhand, I'd say touching him wouldn't be a good idea.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (no don't think so)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'd also guess his friends 'disappeared' a lot longer ago than he realizes.
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Snee "Do you know how to get ghosts to go where they're supposed to go?"
Snezana (Spring) thinking
Indigo (Lisa) looks back at farmer "Do you talk to everyone that camps here?"
[Farmer (Master)] Of course
[Farmer (Master)] I want to find my friends
[Indigo (Lisa)] That is nice of you
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] He may not be a ghost. Ghosts almost always feel evil, lingering on after a natural death. He doesn't have the same feeling.
[Farmer (Master)] and make sure anyone I see if safe
[Farmer (Master)] is safe
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Is there anyone else around tonight besides us?
[Farmer (Master)] Not that I have seen yet
[Farmer (Master)] But I was not here last night
[Snezana (Spring)] you were at the forest?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Is it the fire that made you want to come?
[Farmer (Master)] Yes I saw that and came to see if you were safe
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] How long has it been since you last saw someone camping here?
[Farmer (Master)] I think a week or so?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Did they leave again? Or are they still here somewhere?
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] You said you saw wolves! What'd they look like? How many? Are they behaving??
[Farmer (Master)] There was a pack of wolves that the goblins were riding
[Farmer (Master)] and there were those strange wolves
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Ummm those aren't my wolves. What'd they look like?
[Farmer (Master)] There were large silver wolves
[Farmer (Master)] they were pretty
[Farmer (Master)] then there were the big ones that the goblins were riding
[Farmer (Master)] then there are the small wolves that were in the Wood most of the time
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Large silver wolves? I don't know any large silver wolves. I mean Anor is kinda big, but she's more...greyish?
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] And there's only four of them!
[Farmer (Master)] Oh no there are silver wolves in the Wood
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (*three :( )
[Farmer (Master)] They shine in the moonlight, and they howl deep into the night
Thistle (Carissa (LP)) puts hands on her hips. "No there isn't or Shi would be friends with them by now so *I* can be friends with them!
Brer Necholas (TMO) chuckles.
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Thistle: Animal Noise check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Oh! Like this?
[Farmer (Master)] No that is not it
[Farmer (Master)] that sounds more like a dog left outside overnight
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Really? I was really good on that one...
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Okay then show me!
Indigo (Lisa) laughs
[Farmer (Master)] I cannot make a wolf howl!
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Then what use are you??
Thistle (Carissa (LP)) tosses hands up
[Snezana (Spring)] (so i don't think i have a spell to send a spirit into the light, but i do have detect spirit, extradimensional detection, and remove curse, either of which might be pertinent)
[Indigo (Lisa)] So you talked to the people last week. Did they disappear?
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] So how can I find these wolves to befriend? Are they befriendable??
[Farmer (Master)] The people I talked with left when they were talking with me
[Farmer (Master)] I think they were scared
[Snezana (Spring)] (oh also dispel magic)
[Farmer (Master)] but they went south
[Farmer (Master)] so that was good
[Indigo (Lisa)] Have you ever seen anyone disappear here?
[Farmer (Master)] I do not think so
[Indigo (Lisa)] (yeah I don't know how to get rid of this thing - I could try blasting it but not sure about making him mad)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (this thing being him?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes ghost farmer)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We're investigating on behalf of Countess Branwyn the Magnificent, to help identify any dangers of her lands.
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (shine a brighter light on him? ghost hate light, right? or something...)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (not sure if he is technically a ghost - easy to call him that for me)
[Indigo (Lisa)] So you have never seen anyone more than once?
[Farmer (Master)] OH
[Farmer (Master)] that is a good question
[Farmer (Master)] Hmmmm
Indigo (Lisa) waits
[Farmer (Master)] I think there might have been one merchant? I think
[Farmer (Master)] Or was he a gypsy
[Farmer (Master)] are they the same?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Sometimes
Brer Necholas (TMO) glances at Thistle.
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Who?
[Farmer (Master)] Are you a Gypsy?
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] What's it to you?
[Indigo (Lisa)] He just wants to know if gypsies can be merchants
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] I mean they can, but he doesn't need to know what I am.
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] BUT I might know a guy who knows that guy you mentioned.
[Indigo (Lisa)] So ... you saw the gypsy one night and he went on his way and then you saw him as he was coming back or something
[Indigo (Lisa)] But everyone else comes by and then never comes through again. Is that right?
[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Detect Spirits: For (1+8) 9 turns I can detect any spirits in a 10'x60' path in front of me.
[Farmer (Master)] Only those that sleep here never come back
[Farmer (Master) (to Spring only)] yes that is a spirit standing there talking with you
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] When did you see the gypsy?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ohhh did you and your friends go to sleep when you were here?
[Farmer (Master)] Yes
[Snezana (Spring) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Snezana modified: Notes - CHANGED.
[Snezana (Spring) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Snezana modified: Notes - CHANGED.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (I was thinking the extradimensional spell might be interesting - see if there is a gate to another plane around here maybe?)
Indigo (Lisa) scratches his head "Wonder why you keep coming back?"
[Farmer (Master)] (OHHHH so close for Lisa but not yet)
[Farmer (Master)] I keep lookign for my friends
[Farmer (Master)] and to make sure no one else disapears
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Anyone else disappear with you?
[Farmer (Master)] My friends disapeared
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] No, I mean with you.
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Didja sleep and they stayed awake? OR maybe you saw a wolf and chased after it? Or dance naked in the moonlight alone?
[Farmer (Master)] huh
[Farmer (Master)] I was asleep
[Farmer (Master)] when I woke up everyone was gone
[Farmer (Master)] even the houses
[Snezana (Spring)] so the houses were here when you went to sleep?
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] So you went to sleep first? Did something tickle your nose or something?
Farmer (Master) sniffs
[Farmer (Master)] I do not think so
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] What about pulled your arm? Felt a cold shiver? Something??
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Oh! Or maybe you found a coin you thought was lucky but wasn't? Or some trinket?
[Farmer (Master)] I was asleep
[Farmer (Master)] then when I woke up the village was missing
[Farmer (Master)] and my friends were missing
[Indigo (Lisa)] (test)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] But SOMETHING happened. Maybe you ate a funny plant??
[Farmer (Master)] (yes to LIst)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (yup)
[Snezana (Spring)] i suspect you migth be under the influence of a curse. would you mind if i try to remove a curse from you?
[Farmer (Master)] I do not feel bad
[Farmer (Master)] other than missing my friends
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If I can ask an odd question, what year is it?
[Snezana (Spring)] it could be a curse separating you from your friends
[Farmer (Master)] 329
[Indigo (Lisa)] so you are from there by the woods. Is that where you were sleeping when your friends were sleeping here and so when you ... ummm ... woke up you were here and they disappeared?
[Snezana (Spring)] (so 20 years then)
Brer Necholas (TMO) looks over at the others to check their reaction.
[Indigo (Lisa)] (was what I was typing back up there)
[Farmer (Master)] I was here when they disapeared but yes
Snezana (Spring) raises eyebrows
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] I was born 333!
[Farmer (Master)] How?
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Gramma says it's a number. She won't tell me if it's a lucky one or a bad one.
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Umm, so Gramma says my mamma met a guy, and when two people are in love.... don't you know this already?
[Farmer (Master)] You are from the future?
[Farmer (Master)] You are magic?
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Are gypsies magic? Am I magical??
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] No. We think it's the curse you may be under. You don't feel it, but a lot of time has passed.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you have to touch him to remove a curse?
[Snezana (Spring)] i'm afraid so
[Indigo (Lisa)] That could be dangerous
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Poke him with a stick!!
[Indigo (Lisa)] That won't work
[Snezana (Spring)] if only it worked that way!
[Farmer (Master)] You are not staying here tonight right?
[Indigo (Lisa)] But he said it was sleeping that did it so maybe okay
[Snezana (Spring)] we planned to stay all the way over here, away from the ruins
[Snezana (Spring)] and to stay awake
Farmer (Master) looks up at the full moon
[Snezana (Spring)] you do not think we are far enough away?
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] And I wanna see the wolves! I'll miss them if I'm alseep?
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] *asleep!
[Farmer (Master)] I think that I can stay a while
[Farmer (Master)] I can help you stand guard
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] From what? The wolves?? I wanna see them.
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Do you shake hands with the people you meet?
[Snezana (Spring)] thanks for your company. it might be helpful
[Farmer (Master)] I am always trying to watch for my friends
[Snezana (Spring)] we'll watch for your friends too
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] What is your name?
[Farmer (Master)] I .... I am not friends with anyone to shake hands with
[Farmer (Master)] Uthin
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Do you have any fmaily, Uthin?
[Snezana (Spring)] nice to meet you, Uthin
[Farmer (Master)] I am taking my harvest up to the Mosskin Estates
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Is that where you're from?
[Farmer (Master)] Oh no, nothing as fancy as thtat
[Farmer (Master)] I am just a simple farmer
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Is it fancy? I live in a treehouse in the woods. I think it's nice.
[Farmer (Master)] The Mosskin Esstates? They are super fancy, they have had Queens from there and everything
Howard Plum (Lisa) holds out hand to shake it
Farmer (Master) shakes Indigo's hand
Brer Necholas (TMO) watches carefully.
[Farmer (Master) (to Lisa only)] Indigo does not feel anything
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (Indigo or Howard?)
[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahahaha)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (howard)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Schrodinger's Handshake)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (also probably going to go soon; very tired)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (lol)
[Farmer (Master) (to Lisa only)] same for Howard
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Nice to meet you
[Snezana (Spring)] (no i just imagined how funny that is. howard holds out his hand and the farmer takes indigo's instead)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (right??)
[Snezana (Spring)] (it's like no, not you!)
Howard Plum (Lisa) looks at Snee "I don't think touch spells will work here"
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] 'Cause you don't have a creek to wash them in after?
[Snezana (Spring)] no physical grip, i take it
Howard Plum (Lisa) shakes his head no
[Master] and Suddenly the village is around you
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] Wait... does that mean I can... walk through him??
[Master] There are five houses
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] But if there is some extradimensional plane maybe he could walk through it?
[Master] I will let anyone with observation roll
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If he's undead, I can try to repel him, but unless he's a very weak one, it won't lay him to rest.
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] ARGH!!
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (....nope)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] LOOK!
Howard Plum (Lisa) points
Thistle (Carissa (LP)) looks with normal observation
Brer Necholas (TMO) is only alert, not observant.
[Snezana (Spring)] (snee is alert too)_
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (how could we need a nwp to see 5 buildings appear???)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (you said it)
[Snezana (Spring)] (yeah i dunno)
[Master] Be alert America needs more lerts
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (we'll miss the one behind us)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (that's why you hear, "Watch out behind you!" because people never look behind them)
[Master] SO
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (nobody ever looks up either)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (truth)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (ok so I take back my noticing the obvious)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (lmao)
[Master] what happens is that you are all busy talking and discussing about this farmer who is there but not there and then you do not notice until they are RIGHT THERE five houses that are there in the vilalge
[Master] quiclkly suddenly
[Snezana (Spring)] oh my goodness! houses!
[Indigo (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d12) [1d12=12] 12
[Indigo (Lisa)] (surprise roll)
[Master] and just as Indigo points (because his Int would be first) he says LOOK
[Master] and a small house off to the right ....
[Snezana (Spring)] (so if we had been observant, we woudl have seen them before they were righ there?)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (if this is about to be a battle I may skip out before we get into it)
[Master] reaches out and tries to SNATCH Thistle
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (....)
[Master] a door just reaches out and GRABS Thistle
[Master] and
[Snezana (Spring)] (they're were-houses!!!)
[Master] &&&&&&&
[Indigo (Lisa)] (the house reaches out?)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (werehouses - they are ordinary foundations until the full moon converts them to monstrous houses)
[Master] done for the night
[Master] grins
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (there was a full moon mentioned)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (but what was it??)
[Master] next week you hope to have as many people as you can to deal with houses attacking you
[Snezana (Spring)] (a werehouse)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (you beat me to it Spring)
[Thistle (Carissa (LP))] (..oh a door I see it)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (that is too funny)
[Snezana (Spring)] (hahaha)
[Master] grins
[Master] sorry to end so soon
[Master] but it will be better to have the cliff hanger and get more people in right away next week
[Snezana (Spring)] (so does that mean the goose of doom is gonna show up too?)
[Carissa (LP)] All right but remember Thistle is probably going to start a round behind next Friday :P
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (JTom will be happy. He came out hoping to rope me into a game of some sort, forgetting it was D&D night)
[Lisa] How is the vaccination effort Carissa?
[Master] Brer, Indigo, Howard, Snee, hopefully Skarp and maybe others
[Master] then Thistle sooner than later
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (yeah! what he said!)
[Spring] i am traveling next friday but i hope to be parked after sunset
[Spring] vanlife rule of thum - park in the dark, leave before light
[Carissa (LP)] Very good this week. Definitely some feel good moments. Worried about next week, though. Was told the state will be making "significant" changes then saw the J&J allocations for ALL states will be about 700,000 compared to the promised 4.3 million so.... not sure how that'll effect us yet.
[Carissa (LP)] But probably will
[Master] yeah to Carissa the J&J is a mess
[Lisa] yeah weird things happening with that one
[Carissa (LP)] *affect
[Carissa (LP)] We're having issues too because the big plant mess up is Baltimore...and we're near Baltimore, and we're reassuring people those doses never shipped, but some clinics aren't filling like we'd want because of it
[Master] I am guesing they can/will extend you?
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (local county is doing vaccinations for 18+, using Moderna)
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (just need to get the wif over there)
[Master] 22nd is my second shot
[Carissa (LP)] Nah, this is all volunteer. They will most likely ask to extend, but legally only can for another week. But I'm flying down to Pensacola in May to see family for a week on the beach.Not missing that'. It's been over a year since seeing most of them.
[Master] NOOOOO
[Lisa] because you are a mobile clinic you only get the one shot deal?
[Master] Not Gaetz country
[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (lol)
[Lisa] not like she's gonna see him!
[Master] He will try to get you to
[Carissa (LP)] Yes, mobile AND communities that will be extremely difficult to follow-up on
[Lisa] I hope
[TMO] she better not
[Spring] okay so i just checked, sunset is 8:11 Eastern in columbus GA, so i'm going to be late next week
[Carissa (LP)] LOL if he did, it wouldn't end well for him after all my reading on that
[Master] ok Spring
[Master] so they will expect Priest power a couple of rounds into the mess
[Carissa (LP)] And you are the only priestess. No pressure here ;)
[Lisa] want us to roll for mining?
[Master] Lisa and TMO can handle it
[Spring] hahaha
[Master] yes to LIsa and others for mining rolls
[Master] and Spring while you are here
[Master] a d100 please
[TMO] what can I roll?
[Carissa (LP)] (d100) [1d100=8] 8
[Lisa] tiffress or smiggles
[Carissa (LP)] Sorry Spring roll

[Master] however there is an (unkown) problem in the Copper Fire Mine that you will have to deal with this month
[Spring] very good
[Lisa] well better than the 3 disasters of last month
[Spring] oh that's not very good
[Lisa] only 1 is good

[Master] last month you had the Hobgoblins, the Umber Hulk and the three Ankhegs
[Lisa] and the mining ones weren't bad
[Master] so this will be better
[Spring] well okay then
[Master] I will surprise you with it over the next month of game time
[Lisa] I'm more worried about the werehouses :)
[Master] grins that is important
[Spring] yeah i dunno how you cure lycanthropy in architecgture
[Master] and yes to Lisa (and Carissa) all puns are intended
[TMO] silver hammers
