TMO is receiving the map New Manor...

TMO has received the map New Manor.

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Hey there!

[TMO] oh, is this the 'everybody is late night'?

[TMO] :)

[Master] grins yes it is

[TMO] so what time are we aiming for? 7 cst?

[Master] there is the new map

[Master] I think about 20 more minutes yes

[Master] so go grab your drink and food

[TMO] cool. I will get me some foods then.

[TMO] foooood

[Master] When you are back I will tell Lisa

[TMO] Been here the whole time

[Master] DOH

[TMO] going to play with dog for a few mins, brb

[Master] Told Lisa and Carissa

[Master] have not heard from Spring yet

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Apr 16 20:26:05 EDT 2021

Lisa is receiving the map Otsutan...

Lisa has received the map Otsutan.

[Master] Welcome Lisa

[TMO] sorry, I never left my seat, so was just sitting here waiting for something to happen. (and doing Ancestry research at the same time)

[Lisa] Hello

[TMO] hi!

[Lisa] thought we were waiting for more than me and TMO

[Master] in theory Ryan will be here and maybe Spring but neither has responded yet

[Master] Carissa is going to be in soonish

[Master] and so did the two of you have ideas?

[Master] in case the other two do not show up?

[TMO] Fight the House, either kill or run away.

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 151'07".

[TMO] assuming it's not undead, or I can try turning it

[Lisa] yes never fought a house so my only thought is to hit it since that's basically all we have

[Master] you can go for it

[Master] I do not want to force you two to deal with the entire encounter

[Master] but also you can tackle what you want

[TMO] "Meanwhile, in another part of the world...."

[Lisa] (these are wood houses?)

[Master] yes to wood houses

[Master] at least as far as you can tell

[Lisa] not that I have fire spells but there is a campfire by the houses

[Master] that is always an opportunity

[Master] I am ready with the one house versus the three characters (plus horse if you desire)

[Lisa] I'm ok with starting if TMO is

[TMO] might as well

[TMO] he can throw in more houses if more victims arrive

[Lisa] let's leave the horse out of this

[Master] grins at both

[Lisa] they always seem to get in trouble

[Lisa] thistle is being held by a door when we start?

[Master] I will say that she is not held because she is not here

[Lisa] ok

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] if we make the door drop her, she's not 50 feet in the air, so probably won't die

[Master] House #2 targets Brer Necholas. Distance: 10'01"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Stay back! Houses hit hard!

[Master] they are obviously VERY large and VERY slow

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Attack: Tacharin; two hands:: is now ARMED.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (rolling initiative or just going?)

[Master] just go

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas: Attack: Tacharin; two hands: ((14-(d20+3))-2) [1d20=6] 3 [MODIFIED (-2)]

[Master] they cannot go before 40

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] since we're not in combat, I can't target it

[Master] Brer Necholas targets House #2. Distance: 10'01"

[Master] that is weird

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (roll again, or take the roll?)

[Master] roll again

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas: Attack: Tacharin; two hands: ((14-(d20+3))-2) [1d20=11] -2 [MODIFIED (-2)]. HITS House #2 (AC FINAL: 10)!!!

[Master] House #2's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 128 (-22) - Lightly Wounded

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I can't change effects either. it has my shield on

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] something about the map maybe?

[Master] not sure

[Lisa] I also can't move my characters

[Master] what do you need to change for Brer?

[Master] WOW

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] turn off his shield

[Master] try now

TMO has edited Brer Necholas's effects.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 24'11".

[Master] found it

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] now I can do it

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 1'04".

[Master] House #2's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 110 (-18) - Moderately Wounded

[Master] to be sure double checking none of those are magic weapons correct?

[Master] For Indigo and Brer?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Brer's is)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (no - was debating whether Indigo was going to need the pick)

[Master] House #2's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 128 (18) - Lightly Wounded

[Master] and so the end of the round

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so Indigo feels that he did no damage?)

[Master] it seems that Brer's attacks did damage but Indigo did not

[Master] and now Howard can go if he wishes before the house goes again

Howard Plum (Lisa) runs to the campfire to find a branch he can use to catch on fire

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (not sure how much action he can have in one round)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (feel like we are going to be retreating soon in any event)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (test)

[Master] yes

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so does he get one? is that it? etc.)

[Master] Howard can take his turn

[Master] do what he wants

[Master] then the house goes

[Master] and then you can retreat tetc

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (ok cut and paste)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum (Lisa) runs to the campfire to find a branch he can use to catch on fire

[Master] nods

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] [Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so does he get one? is that it? etc.)

[Master] yes

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (why when there is only 2 people in that this is so difficult? If he can do more than pick up a firy branch, please say so. If not then obviously he is done)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (no more characters)

[Master] yes I said he could

[Master] I thought you were doing more than just pick up the burning branch

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (sigh - that is what I was asking if I could do)

[Master] I am sorry I said yes, but I was not clear enough

Howard Plum (Lisa) runs up to Indigo and hands him the branch so he can use it on the house

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum moved 31'06".

[Master] ok

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I can't aim!

[Master] House #2: Attack: Natural Attack: (20-(d20+0)) [1d20=4] 16. MISSES Brer Necholas (AC FINAL: 1).

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (done)

[Master] and done with the first round

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas moved 9'00".

[Master] the house attacked, you responded now it attacked back

[Master] your turn to go

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas: Attack: Tacharin; two hands: ((14-(d20+3))-2-2) [1d20=12] -5 [MODIFIED BY FLANKING (-2)] [MODIFIED (-2)]. HITS House #2 (AC FINAL: 10)!!!

[Master] ok

[Master] That hits

[Master] the branch falls onto the roof of the house

[Master] Howard?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum casts a spell against House #2: Magic Missile: Magical bolts shoot forth, each doing 1d4+1 points of damage. The caster fires forth 1 at first level and an additional one for every second level after that until he fires 5 at 9th level. So assuming they are all going at one character for now, they deal (3d4+3) [3d4=4,3,2] 12 damage

[Master] House #2's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 85 (-12) - Moderately Wounded

[Master] OK so then the house goes

[Master] House #2: Attack: Natural Attack: (20-(d20+0)) [1d20=14] 6. MISSES Brer Necholas (AC FINAL: 1).

[Master] OK so three rounds have gone by

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so fire is doing no damage?)

Brer Necholas (TMO) sidesteps.

[Master] you have done good damage to it

[Master] the fire seems to have no effect

[Master] your side is up

[Master] anything from Howard this round?

Howard Plum (Lisa) waits as he sees the damaged house

[Indigo (Lisa)] (if we get attacked by the rest of these he won't have anything at all)

[Master] also true

[Master] are you letting the house go then?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I'm done for the round)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Howard was taking a pass - we weren't letting it run away I don't think)

[Master] The house fades from view

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm.. that was a new one.

[Master] you dealt out 176 points of damage and took 46 points of damage

[Master] brb as you discuss

Indigo (Lisa) looks around at the other houses

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "I think keeping our distance from them is good."

[Indigo (Lisa)] My swords did nothing to it. I'm sorry all I had was this pick to use.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Doesn't help much

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "It's alright. The magic in Tacharin was enough."

[Indigo (Lisa)] If these houses only show up every full moon we might have to come back every few weeks to take down another house

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm.

[Indigo (Lisa)] We probably shouldn't try for any more tonight. Maybe I could but you are pretty hurt.

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "Yes. Being hit by a door hurts more than you'd think."

[Indigo (Lisa)] And it would take me a long long time to chop down a house with this thing

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'll bet!

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm surprised the fire didn't do anything. These are wood

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I admit, it's been very nice having your clerics around lately. I could get used to that.

Indigo (Lisa) walks over to the rubble and starts kicking it a bit

Indigo (Lisa) grins "Yes they are nice!"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Any nice furniture in there?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno. We should check. Maybe there's some magic thing in there

Brer Necholas (TMO) moves over to the rubble carefully, pulling his shield back around.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Howard, you should send a note to Branwyn and ask her what makes houses attack you

Howard Plum (Lisa) grimaces "At my first opportunity"

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum moved 16'07".

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] there is no effective rubble, just a blob on the foundation

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (what kind of blob?)

[Master] Like a large deflated skin of something

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yuck!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] That looks disgusting.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (any movement from the other houses?)

[Master] None from the others houses by DM fiat of balancing encounters

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (lol)

[Master] however there is three d100 for potential treasure

Brer Necholas (TMO) looks around. "Uthin?"

[Uthin (Master)] Hello

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] What was that?"

Brer Necholas (TMO) points at the house.

Indigo (Lisa) mutters “wonder if that blobby thing was inside or outside of the house”

[Uthin (Master)] I think that was a house

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] And the hitting me with a door?

[Uthin (Master)] That was definitely a house

[Indigo (Lisa)] It was a LIVE house!

[Uthin (Master)] I saw that happen to Billt

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I've seen a lot. I've never been attacked by a house before.

[Uthin (Master)] He was hit by a door and then went inside, or was dragged inside

[Uthin (Master)] and I never saw him again

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Just a request...

[Indigo (Lisa)] So that's what makes people disappear

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Next time you meet people here, warn them about the houses first thing?

[Uthin (Master)] I did tell you

Brer Necholas (TMO) looks at Indigo.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Did he?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I don't remember hearing 'Watch out, the houses will try to eat you."

[Uthin (Master)] (you can roll the d100 three times TMO)

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't remember houses that want to eat you

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=28] 28

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=76] 76

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=4] 4

[Uthin (Master)] (HAH)

[Uthin (Master)] (1 any magic item you missed out on gems and art objects)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Thank you for trying to warn us, Uthin. Please warn everyone you meet here.

[Master] d100 please

[Indigo (Lisa)] They only come out on the full moon, right?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (you want these rolls, Lisa?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (it's ok - you can have it)

Carissa (LP) has joined the game on Fri Apr 16 21:30:13 EDT 2021

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=4] 4

[Master] Howard Plum XP award: 1000. Next level in 18406.

[Master] Indigo XP award: 1000. Next level in 36028.

[Master] Brer Necholas XP award: 2000. Next level in 53222.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (JTom says Hi)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hi Carissa!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hi JTom!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (just too late to get eaten by a house!)

[Master] d1000 please TMO

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (1d1000) [1d1000=956] 956

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (that looks promising)

[Carissa (LP)] (Hi! I probably won't be on long anyways, glad you all did not get eaten)

Carissa (LP) has received the map New Manor.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (magic short sword would be nice)

[Master] Potion of Venom, clearly labeled on the outside

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (/me facepalm)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (great an evil potion)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (that's a waste of a good roll)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no kidding)

[Carissa (LP)] Clearly not a potion to drink to use

[Carissa (LP)] or else it'd be a potion of poison...

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (/me looks at his next prospective character...)

[Indigo (Lisa)] We could try tossing it at a house and see what happens

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I will not.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] We could send it back to Branwyn. She might be able to use it to make a venom antidote

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Put it to a good use possibly

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "I hope so."

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] That's a weird thing to be the only thing inside the house

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Oh well

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (now with 2 moons these houses come out every couple of weeks, correct?)

[Master] Time of Day: 07:23 AM. Day 2 Trall ___ de, Eap {Late Fall} 2nd, 349 SKR.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm not sure what I would expect to find next to a hostile house.

[Master] Morning comes

[Master] and yes to Lisa you can suspect that

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

[Master] Morning comes

[Indigo (Lisa)] Guess we should go tell Miller what happened

[Indigo (Lisa)] Unless you just want to go on to the next haunted village

Spring has joined the game on Fri Apr 16 21:38:14 EDT 2021

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "I don't think I can take another of those so soon. I need rest.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hi Spring!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (hi!)

[Spring] (hi, sorry I’m late. my overnight parking spot fell through)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yeah. but look the houses are gone again

[Master] grins and now you have your group for the second night

[Master] and that stinks Spring

Brer Necholas (TMO) looks around for Uthin.

[Carissa (LP)] hi spring

[Master] No Uthin

[Spring] I’m in a truck stop now ha. overnight parking permit)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (how long does the full moon last?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (be careful)

[Master] 93% tonight

[Master] and 83% tonight

[Carissa (LP)] (not sure I'll last second night; tiredness hit me out of nowhere and I don't know if I can last long)

[Master] so that equals?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (176% of a full moon?)

[Spring] (the fullest moon?)

[Carissa (LP)] lol

[Master] Sorry 100% and 33% on day 1 93% and 50% on day two

[Master] for month 8 of late fall

[Carissa (LP)] 86% and 73%?

[Master] what are you doing now with no J&J Carissa?

[Master] Just randomly jabbing people?

[Carissa (LP)] Switching to Moderna, rescheduling everything to make sure we can get a second vaccine to them (which will be long after I'm gone). We're regrouping then head back out Monday.

[Carissa (LP)] And f J&J comes back....we switch back to them

[Master] flexibility

[Carissa (LP)] Gotta be, yep

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (good luck)

[Spring] (what TMO said)

[Master] Spring have you gotten a jab yet?

[Carissa (LP)] lol thanks, only two more weeks for me so not too worried; half these problems will be someone else’s soon enough ;)

[Spring] nopes. I’m a NC resident now and they opened to my age group while I was in MS

[Carissa (LP)] If you show up to MD, I know a person...

[Master] will you be back there soonish?

[Master] grins at Carissa

[Lisa] lol

[Spring] I plan on it when I get back

[Spring] I’ll be there Sunday

[Spring] inshaallah

[Master] Good

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (wife got her first shot on Tuesday)

[Master] excellent TMO

[Master] next Thursday is my second

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (yes, left on her own, she probably wouldn't have gotten it.)

[Carissa (LP)] Pfizer or Moderna?

[Master] for me Moderna

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (moderna. had to hunt around to find a non-J&J for her)

[Carissa (LP)] Ah, slight more risk of second dose bleh with Moderna, but not too bad

[Lisa] did she do okay with it?

[Lisa] Moderna kicked my butt with the 1st shot for me

[Carissa (LP)] Lots of J&J in rural areas where it works best, and my friend who wants J&J had the opposite problem being in the city :P

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (yeah, nothing major. her persistent headache is apparently worse)

[Master] mine is Thursday so I am guessing I will be good for next Friday

[Carissa (LP)] ....second dose Pfizer kicked me down 22 hours in so.....

[Master] So if I am feeling extra cranky there will be more houses

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I had nothing with both Moderna doses, but that's just me)

[Master] grins

[Carissa (LP)] But there is a correlation they're looking at with women and younger individuals being the ones who seem most affected

[Master] and very good TMO

[Spring] yeah that's weird

[Spring] no prepubescent or port menopausal women IIRC

[Master] yeah I took Thursday and Friday off for the shot Thursday late afternoon, so I can do lots of exercise and liquids on Thursday to prepare

[Spring] I meant for the blood clots, sorry

[Carissa (LP)] Keep moving that arm! Drink lots of water!

[Carissa (LP)] I can already hear my teammate shouting that at people as they leave, lol

[Master] grins

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (be utterly and completely relaxed when you get the shot)

[Spring] my dad had more side effects for his first shot than his second. that's weird

[Lisa] LOL

[Spring] I don't know which he got

[Spring] I left my phones in the cab brb

[Master] So while we have you all here, there is this village, Lisa and TMO can explain it to you

[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.

[Carissa (LP)] The clots one is also interesting and way too limited and early to say. I know those are early things being drawn, but it's as always more complicated. Some nice hypothesis out there.

[Carissa (LP)] Hungry hungry houses?

[TMO] Yes, and it left a blobby skin behind.

[Master] Thistle XP award: 10. Next level in 27184.

[Carissa (LP)] ?????

[Carissa (LP)] A blobby skin?

[Lisa] deals 4d12 damage per hit

[Carissa (LP)] I missed that skimming

[Carissa (LP)] And ouchh

[Lisa] hence Brer being heavily wounded

[Carissa (LP)] Looked like fire didn't work?

[Carissa (LP)] lol didn't look since can't heal

[Lisa] only got hit 2 times

[Carissa (LP)] Double ouch

[TMO] Not just with tossing a burning branch. More directly applied might have done something.

[Lisa] and has over 100 hps

[Lisa] only magic works

[TMO] Silver might have, we don't know

[Carissa (LP)] Gross

[Carissa (LP)] So...fastest ways to ruin a house: ruin the foundation, set it on fire, hurricane and/or tornado, sink hole, demolition crew.

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] I will point out that was the small house there on the right side of the path, not the two medium sized houses or the large house or the tower house

[Lisa] will coming back this night be a chance to take out another house or a waste of time?

[Carissa (LP)] Just make sure your insurance covers it.

[TMO] Hitting it with a magic sword really really hard.

[Master] There is a reason this has been a problem for several decades

[Lisa] casters can't memorize spells today though

[Master] Howard cannot

[Lisa] neither can Snee - we stayed up all night

[TMO] we appreciate your restraint, Bob

[Master] This is true but she did not cast any spells

[Lisa] unless you are saying Snee was a round behind sleeping

TMO limps away from the campsite.

[Master] and Bows to TMO

[Lisa] she was casting during the village investigation

[Master] yes to Lisa also

[Carissa (LP)] Quick question: are we here to solve the problem OR just investigate it?

[Lisa] solve it I believe

[Spring] I totally don't remem ber

[Lisa] who is going to solve it if we don't?

[Master] This is the far southwest corner of the Wastes

[Master] exactly to Lisa

[Lisa] yeah town big problem

[Carissa (LP)] Us, of course, but not sure if this is a scouting party or a kill as we go party

[Spring] well sometimes we check things out then come back and solve with other people/materials

[TMO] well, we know the problem now

[TMO] 'except for Uthin

[TMO] he's still a mystery

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa (LP)] Like our first (second? third??) church misunderstanding and wrong party doing things :)

[Carissa (LP)] Uthin is the farmer ghost guy?

[TMO] yes

[Carissa (LP)] Did he disappear?

[Master] yes

[TMO] at dawn

[Lisa] since we know the rest of the houses are bigger and when they will show up - yes we can plan and pull in more casters and hopefully will have more fighters with magic weapons next moon

[Carissa (LP)] Ok, and this is just one village, yes? So we may need to see if the other two are similar or do we know it's the same?

[TMO] yes

[Lisa] Hourglass is definitely different

[Master] and also yes from a Meta Gaming point of view solve this village first take your time and work it out so that you can then tackle the other two villages and be finished with Claiming Skull Church

[Carissa (LP)] Cool on same page, sorry if I'm asking things I can gain by reading but, yeah, another night

[Lisa] No clue on the second

[TMO] no worries

[Carissa (LP)] So don't worry about other two yet I'm hearing, but figure out wtf is going on here? :P

[Master] Otsutan is this one, Hourglass is a known (OOC) problem to solve

[Lisa] and there is another, yes?

[Master] The third is unknown at this point

[Carissa (LP)] And/or how to kill bigger houses

[TMO] but Hourglass is a different problem, right?

[Carissa (LP)] Yes

[Master] three locations along Farmers Turn to solve

[Master] and complete the path you are constructing

[Carissa (LP)] Or so those adventures read

[Master] solve those and then Claiming Skull Church is over

[Master] easier for you to just solve one village at a time

[Master] even if it take weeks

[Master] of game time and sessions

[Lisa] so I think we move on and then set an appt for the houses again with Branwyn & Johan and everyone else we can get

[TMO] we need much more power. Hey Lisa, think Branwyn can move her ballista down here? It's great at knocking down walls.

[Lisa] 4 fireballs on hand would be nice

[Lisa] well we have a road now don't we? :)

[TMO] any way to enchant the ballista bolts?

[Carissa (LP)] lol

[Lisa] it's a catapult

[Master] You can travel the Moss Road up through Jistille to Dragon Fen Manor to make it to Branwyn easily enough

[TMO] any way to enchant the catapult boulders?

[Master] which is why you want the new path from Skull Church to Dragon Fen Manor to be built

[Carissa (LP)] Have we thoroughly investigated the houses during the day? Maybe stab them with silver then? OR the foundations, at least?

[Lisa] they disappeared

[Master] you can make it to either place in one day

[Spring] do we know what the houses are made of? has that already been established?

[TMO] only foundations during the day

[Lisa] the one we killed was wood

[Carissa (LP)] So if we destroy the foundation now...?

[Spring] thatched roof? wood shake?

[TMO] -ish. the blobby skin was weird

[Carissa (LP)] Warp wood

[Spring] just wondering about flaming arrows. they have been historically useful

[Lisa] I tossed a branch on fire on the roof and it landed and did nothing

[Spring] well fiddlesticks

[TMO] my guess is it just *looked* like wood/thatch

[Lisa] yup

[Carissa (LP)] I'm thinking more what can be done to stop them from reappearing. It's not like these houses have chicken legs.

[TMO] were-mimics?

[Carissa (LP)] anyways, those are my thoughts, I'm falling asleep and more work tomorrow so should probably call it, sorry

[Lisa] hmmm ... we would have to dig up the foundations and destroy them?

[TMO] g'nite Carissa

[TMO] it's a definite option

[Lisa] Goodnight Carissa!

[Carissa (LP)] (or move the earth beneath them, set them on fire, lots of options ;) )

[Master] night

[Carissa (LP)] night!

Carissa (LP) has left the game on Fri Apr 16 22:06:28 EDT 2021

[Lisa] Foundations are stone?

[Master] yes

[Lisa] was the house on the foundation or did it move?

[TMO] I don't think it moved, just reached out and smacked us with doors

[Lisa] Something we could experiment with

[Lisa] Goblin foundation destruction work crew?

[TMO] just don't camp here overnight

[Spring] if it's actual stone though, I wonder if there's a spell ...

[TMO] too bad you can't tame them

[Lisa] charm house spell

[TMO] if you were evil, an easy cure to the goblin problem.

[TMO] just get them here close to nightfall, so they camp here.

[Lisa] if houses only show up on full moon then they could work when it was safe

[Lisa] not trying to annihilate them :)

[Spring] nope, I don't have anything that shapes or warps stone

[Spring] one of my priests at some point could turn mud to stone or vice versa

[Spring] but not Snee apparently

[TMO] I've got nothing but heavy armor and sharp magic sword for this encounter, anyways.

[Lisa] so we go tell Miller to warn people, rest up and then head to next village?

[Spring] oh hey Remove Curse can cure lycanthropy. alas, you have to be 12th level though

[Lisa] or if Snee can heal Brer just on to next village?

[TMO] magic sword whacking can cure it too. ;)

[Spring] hahahaha

[TMO] frankly, magic sword whacking can cure many many things

[Lisa] test

[TMO] success

[Master] I am just listening

[Spring] wow brer is in a state

[Lisa] I don't know what you guys want to do

[TMO] just a wee bit

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] My advice, warn Miller, warn Lady Branwyn. Make the threat known, so fewer people disappear. Post a sign if you have to.

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

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

[Spring] 18 for Brer

[Spring] not knowing what's at the next village, I better save some

[Master] Brer Necholas's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 43 (18) - Moderately Wounded

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] This is not a threat that endangers anyone who doesn't camp in this one spot. Even if you don't kill the houses, making sure no one falls victim accomplishes the same thing.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Thank you.

[Snezana (Spring)] you are welcome, and good point

[Snezana (Spring)] people do seem to know there's a problem, but it's mysterious now, and that attracts people too

[Snezana (Spring)] if we render it boring, people will be safer

Ryan has joined the game on Fri Apr 16 22:22:40 EDT 2021

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

[Snezana (Spring)] (hi Ryan!!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm.. if you want to experiment, scatter people familiar with the problem around the area, see who falls into it. And that they know to stay away from the houses.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Hi Ryan!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (hi!)

[Ryan] (Hello!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Seeing who vanishes and who doesn't tells you how big the area affected is.

[Master] Hello Ryan

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not sure if man eating houses would ever be boring

[Master] you were not eaten by a house

[Master] congrat

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I was badly bruised up by a house though. One for the memoirs)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] So, on to the next village, or back to Miller's?

[Ryan] (Huzzah!)

[Master] warm chuckle, you can try all you want but you are dealing with this village until you solve it

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (wait, so we can't leave?)

[Ryan] (burning down a village counts as dealing with it, right?)

[Master] you can leave but what will you actually do?

[Master] you have this village to solve

[Master] you know you have Hourglass to solve

[Master] I am not revealing the third village until you solve these two

[Ryan] (So.... burn down the two villages to reveal the third soon-to-be-charred-ruin)

[Master] Otsutan is here,

[Master] and you are here

[(Lisa)] It seems like we can only do anything with this one on a full moon with magic so if we don't have that for tonight then we need to deal with hourglass and come back to this one on the next full moon

[(Lisa)] unless Bob says putting up warning signs = solving it

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I mean, it works for me, if my opinion matters at all. ;) )

Lisa has left the game on Fri Apr 16 22:28:44 EDT 2021

[Master] OR you just click off time as you solve this one

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (which we know it doesn't)

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Apr 16 22:29:04 EDT 2021

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (everything okay over there?)

[Lisa] Ryan - you want to level yourself while we aren't doing anything? It's been a while but I think Bob said you leveled the last night you were in. Yay!! btw :D

[Snezana (Spring)] (yay!)

[Ryan] (huzzah)

[Lisa] up to Spring and the regular Protectorate group if they want to click off time or deal with hourglass while waiting. My characters are just here for the ride

[Snezana (Spring)] (so all these trucks are idling, and that means my truck is vibraint)

[Ryan] (Pretends he remembers how to do that while desperately searching the Dragonslayers website)

[Lisa] extra added bonus Spring?

[Snezana (Spring)] (so did Ergel and what's her face actually join us? I can't remember)

[Snezana (Spring)] (Susan!)

[Skarphedin (Lisa)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Leveling

[Master] no to Spring

[Snezana (Spring)] (ergel and Susan. they joined for like a day? or did we retcon them out again?)

[Snezana (Spring)] (ah okay)

[Master] They never made it in but they will when you go to handle Hourglass

[Snezana (Spring)] (for a long time I’ve been trying to figure out how ergel and Susan might have got out)

[Master] but right now you are dealing with Otsutan

[Master] they have not gotten out yet

[Master] that is part of solving Hourglass later on

[Snezana (Spring)] (okie)

[Master] the point I am making again is solve Otsutan now

[Snezana (Spring)] so, nobody has any vinegar I suppose

[Master] then deal with the other two places

[Master] if that involves getting Branwyn etc.

[Master] your choice

[Master] but you are on this mission now

[Ryan (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Class Levels - Warrior: (WARL) : CHANGED: 8 (7).

[Snezana (Spring)] how do you suppose this happens to houses anyway?

[Master] new HD Ryan so a d10 to HP

[Snezana (Spring)] I mean it's not like they got bit by a house

[Master] and then the potential changes to saves

[Snezana (Spring)] were they ordinary houses or were they something else that took on the appearance of houses, I wonder

[Master] and also I will remind everyone I have no NPC to play here as you are investigating except when there is a full moon that Ultin can speak

[Ryan] (not sure how to add hit dice. Do I just roll?)

[Snezana (Spring)] (thanks)

[Master] yes to Ryan, just roll here then add it to the character sheet

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] It left behind a skin of some sort

[Lisa] roll a d10

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] That tells me it was a creature, not a spirit.

[Lisa] then add it to your sheet at the bottom

[Snezana (Spring)] astonishing!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] But the skin is also gone now.

[Snezana (Spring)] so the things we can do about them must be things that can be done to creatures

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We know ordinary weapons can't hurt it, but enchanted ones can, and magic attacks.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Silver might do something, we don't know.

[Master] smiles

[Master] you have to come up with ideas

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Dynamite

[Master] is is the 2nd day of the fifth month for looking at the calendar

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

[Ryan] Roll #1: (d10) [1d10=5] 5

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If it left a skin, but the interior disappeared...

[Master] and looking at what days of the moon might be most advantageous

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I don't know where I was going with that...

[Ryan (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Combat - Current Hit Points:: CHANGED: 61 (56). Max Hit Points:: CHANGED: 61 (56).

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] It seems like it might mean something, but I don't know what.

[Master] If you look at the calendar the 1st had a full moon, the 5th has a full moon, the 17th has a full moon, etc.

[Snezana (Spring)] it makes me think of cicadas

[Snezana (Spring)] they leave their outsides lying around

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Isn't that an alcoholic drink?

[Snezana (Spring)] or snakes when they shed

[Ryan] (Uh.... remind me how to save changes?)

[Master] hit commit

[Ryan] (Edit / Commit is what I am doing, but it isn't saving)

[Master] I know you have a problem with Commitment

[Snezana (Spring)] ( but you have to hit enter after you change a field)

[Ryan (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Combat - Melee THAC0: (THAC0) : CHANGED: 13 (14).

[Snezana (Spring)] (THEN commit)

[Master] there you go

[Ryan (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Class Levels - Character Level: (L) : CHANGED: 8 (7).

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I think we just need to gather a much magical power as possible. Even with Branwyn's fireball it is a fire made from magic so that should work where the camp fire did not. Otherwise why would sometimes her fireballs only deal half the damage than others? If we got Branwyn, Kenna and Johan to help with all the rest of us we could do some better damage I do believe

[Ryan] (Thank you)

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Staying out of range is the best plan.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] They hit hard.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] One hit would likely have killed me

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods.

[Snezana (Spring)] (evil wasn''t detected here, right?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (right)

[Master] Do not be afraid of skipping/clicking ahead in time to solve this

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (do we have the PCs to tackle it?)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (that fireball comment was directed at you Bob - it should work where flint and stone fire would not)

[Master] grins I will neight confirm nor deny

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (if a fire can only deal half the damage when some saves on a roll versus magic I rule that is magic fire)

[Snezana (Spring)] (looking at what Kenna could do, if we brought her)

[Master] not yet Spring but you can go get her easily enough

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (lightning strikes?)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (I think if it is magic based and there is a save then the effect is one of magic)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (if you just created lightning and the damage stuck as lightning would do if it hit you then perhaps not magical lightning)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (agreed)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (anyway - Spring can call the casters and people at home with magic weapons - like Tiberius if she wants to)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (our characters would come)

[Master] Snee is here

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I can't remember if Michael's sword is magical - don't know when he'll be back though)

[Master] and just has to say how she asks them to come

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (Bob should poke him again this week and see how the interviews are going)

[Snezana (Spring)] (soften earth and stone is a no go if the foundations are actually worked stone

[Snezana (Spring)] (it only works on "raw" stone

[Master] as far as you can tell yes they are stone

[Master] and yes to Lisa

[Snezana (Spring)] (stone shape might work, if shaping the stone into something like a lot of pebbles somehow disables the creatures)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (looking at Talwin's sheet and don't see a magic bonus for his sword - however we have magic weapons that could be brought that he could use if that was in the message to Dragon Fen)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (we have a +2 broad sword at home)

[Snezana (Spring)] ("Transmute Rock to Mud"" "This spell turns natural rock of any sort into an equal volume of mud."??

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (anything for Indigo?)

[Master] I am seeing lots of We could do this etc. I just need you to tell me what you are doing and then I can act on it

[Talwin (Lisa)] (no he just has the pick - which lowers his swings per round to 1)

[Snezana (Spring)] (well yeah, this is how we decide what to do)

[Lisa] he can't use those huge weapons

[Master] grins yes to Spring

[Snezana (Spring)] (are we now not discussing things?

[Master] just want to make sure you understand why I am waiting

[Snezana (Spring)] (or are we SUPPOSED to j just haul off and do crazy crap without discussion?

[Lisa] I don't want to say - we are doing this

[Snezana (Spring)] (okay I am feeling very irritable because it's a big hardship for me to be here right now

[Lisa] so I am just tossing suggestions for someone to decide what is good and what is to bypass

[Snezana (Spring)] (and if we're going to be squelched here, I would be better off getting some shuteye

[Lisa] I personally like doing crazy crap :D

[Lisa] no one is getting squelched I don't think ...

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I think we've about got our plan. Pull out all the big magic guns, with meat shields to protect them)

[Spring] I do too but we have people no longer playing in our group because of doing crazy crap without discussion

[Spring] so I think we have every right to discuss

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (agreed.)

[Lisa] yes

[Ryan] I've been out of the game for a month, but I also agree!

[Lisa] :)

[Ryan] (What am I agreeing to?)

[Lisa] everything

[Ryan] k, if it is Spring suggesting it, then sure

[Spring] we get to talk as much as we want about how we are going about this

[Ryan] Let's burn this place to the ground and use the ashes to make pretty pottery

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Lisa - how likely is Tiberius to get killed if he shows? He's got the magic sword and does massive damage, but can he take the hits the *small* house was dishing out?)

[Master] yes

[Lisa] he's got 52 hps same risk as Indigo

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (eek - that's two hits)

[Lisa] we could get hit twice

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (at least with Brer he's got the heavy armor)

[Lisa] well yeah

[Lisa] Skarp has 61

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (healing potions)

[Lisa] no one can stand there all day

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (truth)

[Lisa] we don't have any

[Spring] I don't suppose indigo could manage to get swallowed ....

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] LOL

[Spring] because that's worked before

[Master] lol

[Lisa] that's how people disappear I believe

[Lisa] The house eats them and they are never seen again

[Spring] well that happens with most people who get swallowed by anything

[Spring] it's just our indigo has exceptional exit-0making abilities

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (truth)

[Lisa] if it happens it happens but it's not something I want to try for on a 120 hp creature

[Lisa] much easier to cut himself out of an ankheg than a house

[Spring] fair point

[Spring] so anyway that spell I posted, transmute rock to mud

[Spring] mud

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (did it say natural rock?)

[Spring] it says "natural" stone but it doesn't explain explicitly what that means like the other spell did

[Master] Foundations would be worked stone

[Spring] okay so never mind

[Spring] oph

[Spring] reading the rest of the spell, it says magical or enchanted stone are not affected

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (idea from a player, not a paladin - so potion of venom laid out on one of these foundations before dark - what would happen when a house shows up on top of it?)

[Lisa] can I put in your new xp goal Ryan?

[Spring] so worked stone might qualify as natural

[Spring] as opposed to magical

[Master] no to Spring

[Spring] ok worth a try

[Ryan] I thought that I had, but I guess that was one of the things that didn't save :|

[Lisa] still says 125K

[Ryan (to GM only)] Character sheet for Skarphedin modified: Personal Information - Next Level:: CHANGED: 250000 (125000).

[Ryan] Fixed!

[Lisa] :)

[Master] yes to Ryan

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (So: who are we summoning? How are why summoning? Where are we summoning? What are we summoning?)

[Master] You can go off to talk to whoever where ever you want to tonight so that next session you can solve this on which ever calendar date that happens to be

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (so, go home, confer with magic experts, come back with everyone next full moon?)

[Master] It is the 2nd and the 5th is the next full moon

[Master] so you have three days to gather who and what you want

[Master] go off and interact with those that you want to have here

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (so: talk to Branwyn, talk to Kenna. Shi? ;) )

[Master] grins no Shi

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I hesitate to point out Shur)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (the lycanthrope hunter)

[Master] anyone in Dragon Fen is available

[Master] you want to bring Shur into this, then go roleplay with her and ask her to come help

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I leave that up to the bosses)

[Master] You are able to get to Dragon Fen Manor in one day it is the morning of the 2nd

[Master] and GO

[Spring] (if these are creatures, Cause Disease could work)

[Master] So heading off to the Manor to talk to them?

[Master] feel free to use any character available to you to Roleplay

[Spring] hmmm well, given that these are creatures, Cause Disease could work

[Master] Ryan/Skarp and Spring/Snee can go ask

[Spring] dammit

[Master] as well as Lisa/Indigo

[Spring] why can I not chat as Kenna

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] hmmm well, given that these are creatures, Cause Disease could work

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oh wait)

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "What kind of effects would it have?"

[Spring] (oh wow I can't chat as a character not present)

Spring has received the map Otsutan.

Ryan has received the map Otsutan.

[Snezana (Spring)] so we were attacked by houses that are really creatures that vanish when it's not a full moon night

[Snezana (Spring)] (ffs never mind)

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (everything ok?)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] test

[Master] yes

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (I am not great, but thanks anyway)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Cause Disease would inflict a disease, either harmful or fatal

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] How fast?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] unpredictable

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] The effects probably wouldn't be immediately debilitating, though?

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] could be fatal within hours or days, cannot tell in advance

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] "The Severity of the disease is decided by the priest (debilitating or fatal). The Exact details of the disease are decided by the DM"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (give them COVID1)

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (nah I’d be giving them Captain Tripps)

[Master] COVIS 21

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (ooo getting a big cold in here)

[Master] So Snee talks with Kenna

[Master] Indigo and Howard go to visit Branwyn?

[Master] and or Shur?

[Lisa] only if that is what Spring wants

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Brer will pray and commune, see if he gets any inspirations)

[Master] who do you want to gather to come back to this place on the 5th for the next full moon

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (yes, Snee feels out of her depth)

[Master] which is where we pick up next session, the evening of the 4th

[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (and would appreciate the help)

[Lisa] (indigo can call up everyone we can - of Snee can go too and ask)

[Spring] I’m sorry to be so irritable

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (understandable)

[Master] HUGS to Spring

[Spring] sure, Snee will go wherever

[Lisa] (no worries)

[Lisa] (sorry you are stuck in truck stop hell)

[Spring] not one of those territory or ego things hehehe

[Master] and to Ryan too

[Master] for his return

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (yes, welcome back)

[Spring] yay!!

[Master] Lisa gets to Roleplay 3 different characters as Indigo and Howard go talk to Branwyn about what to do

[Lisa] so Shur is the only question in my mind

[Spring] hahahaha

[Master] and then to go see Shur? and or?

[Lisa] don't really have to roleplay it at 11:30 pm do we?

[Lisa] not like they will say no

[Master] Up to you

[Lisa] Tiberius will love to fight a house

[Master] You can tell me who will be there

[Master] LOL

[Master] Spring? Ryan? TMO? will you be in next week at what time?

[Lisa] does TMO want to risk Shur?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (it's not TMO's call. :) It's Shur & Ilero & (somewhat) Branwyn's. :D

[Master] right now it seems like Skarp, Branwyn, Tiberius, Indigo, Howard, Snee, Brer, Thistle, and ?

[Lisa] Johan!

[Master] Unless Snee wants Kenna

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I do not know what her answer would be right now. A lot would depend on what and how she's asked.)

[Master] and you can ask Johan of course

[Master] then I think you do need to go ask that question Lisa,

[Master] whoever you want to send to ask Shur

[Master] brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Lisa] Johan will do what Branwyn tells him to do

[Spring] Snee wants Kenna

Lisa cracks whip on apprentice

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (one thing that we may want to do, even though it's not 'logical': have Spring's characters talk to Branwyn, and Lisa's talk to Kenna.

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Skarp wants.... uh.... Skarp)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (so that Lisa doesn't have to RP with Lisa, and Spring with Spring)

[Lisa] lol

[Spring] sounds legit to me

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (or, if you want, have Brer spearhead the chats, with others supporting. Except for Shur, of course)

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] (Also, I missed BOB's comment. I should be in next week)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I should be here as usual)

[Spring] I should also

[Lisa] we could just start then - we don't need bob for PC chats

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] yes to Lisa

[Master] and GO

[Lisa] above we already kind of had the Kenna chat

[Lisa] if I read that right

[Spring] heheh you read it right even though I wrote it wrong

Branwyn (Lisa) sitting in the salon reading about lost magic items while Dahlia and Demi play hide and seek

Indigo (Lisa) knocks on the door and walks in with the group

Brer Necholas (TMO) clomps along with the group.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks up "Indigo, Snee! Everyone?"

Snezana (Spring) swans in

[Demitrius (Lisa)] INDIGO!!!

Demitrius (Lisa) runs up and hugs him

Dahlia (Lisa) runs over and tags her brother "You’re' it!"

[Nanny Gothhawk (Master)] DEMI!

[Nanny Gothhawk (Master)] Dahlia!

[Nanny Gothhawk (Master)] Get back here, the Admiral is here on official business

[Nanny Gothhawk (Master)] he is not here to play

Brer Necholas (TMO) looks around the room.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Is everything all right?

Snezana (Spring) makes a face

Indigo (Lisa) laughs and pats Demi on the head

[Snezana (Spring)] we were attacked by houses

[Jilly (Master)] You know if you came by more often they would not think you were here only for them

[Jilly (Master)] Houses?

[Jilly (Master)] OH you did not go to the haunted village did you?

[Snezana (Spring)] I know, sorry, I am weary. my manners are just gone

Skarphedin (Ryan) comes into the room, then grimaces at Sne's words.

[Snezana (Spring)] we have more information on the haunted village, Jilly, yes

[Snezana (Spring)] by day, the whole village is just a bunch of bare foundations

Jilly (Master) looks over at Branwyn

Branwyn (Lisa) listening

[Snezana (Spring)] but on a night of a full moon, they turn into entire houses that are not really houses

[Snezana (Spring)] their wood is like flesh

[Jilly (Master)] But they are not part of Dragon Fen

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Technically, no house is a house unless it is underground.

[Snezana (Spring)] and they attack with their doors and they are devastating

[Jilly (Master)] Why are you worried about them?:

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles at Skarp

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] According to the Dwarven Landowners' Association....

Skarphedin (Ryan) trails off sheepishly.

[Jilly (Master)] OOOOOO

[Jilly (Master)] Skarp

Snezana (Spring) smiles at Skarp

Skarphedin (Ryan) backs away nervously.

[Jilly (Master)] can I put you on the board for handling the questions that villages have

[Snezana (Spring)] travelers were vanishing, we had to have a look

Skarphedin (Ryan) mouths, "The board?"

[Indigo (Lisa)] Think it's messing with the trade down the road or something

[Jilly (Master)] Thank you Skarp!

Snezana (Spring) whispers "apparently there's a board now. there wasn't before"

Skarphedin (Ryan) looks nervous.

[Jilly (Master)] Nevin Skarp is going to handle the disputes for the villagers

[Indigo (Lisa)] But they're magic houses and we need magic to fight them

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] OH that is wonderful,

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] Thank you Skarp

[Indigo (Lisa)] Huh?

Snezana (Spring) snort laughs

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] just be back here on the first

Indigo (Lisa) looks back at Skarp and laughs

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I will have your disputes lined up

Skarphedin (Ryan) grimaces, tugging at his beard.

[Jilly (Master)] They will be so afraid of a real dwarf

Skarphedin (Ryan) thinks for a moment, then gives a malicious grin.

[Jilly (Master)] THIS is great

[Snezana (Spring)] oh that's right! a non-mythical dwarf!

[Snezana (Spring)] I keep forgetting!

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Have you met many mythical dwarves?

[Jilly (Master)] Thank you Skarp I will have a poppy cake for you on the 1st

[Indigo (Lisa)] Is there any food around now Jilly?

[Snezana (Spring)] no, remember? they think you don't exist

[Jilly (Master)] For you Indigo? Always

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Poppycake? Isn't that what people say when they don't believe you?

[Snezana (Spring)] I think you should exist as existently as you can!

[Jilly (Master)] go on and tell Branwyn what you need and I will set out lunch for everyone

[Snezana (Spring)] hahaha

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thanks Jilly!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, how will it be best to fight these houses?

[Nanny Gothhawk (Master)] Demi! Dahlia! come over here,

[Nanny Gothhawk (Master)] the adults need to talk

[Branwyn (Lisa)] How can we help?

[Snezana (Spring)] (I shouldn't have bothered with a bed for Emmy in here. she wont'get in it

[Snezana (Spring)] well magic hurts them

[Snezana (Spring)] normal fire does not

[Snezana (Spring)] I think the more magic we can bring, the better a chance we stand

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Indigo's swords did not. Tacharin did.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] That sounds interesting

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Howard did you manage to hit it?

[Snezana (Spring)] and frankly, you have the biggest magic around here, if you are willing to come help

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perfect timing husband!

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Jilly said there was food

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I did with my spells

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Of course I was going to be here

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] But they were not very strong

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] so then Johan and you can handle it,

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] sigh

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You have a magic sword do you not?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Of course, but a simple house? /me gestures how many can deal with it?

[Indigo (Lisa)] No! These are MONSTER houses!

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I think Skarp with his Ax is better

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Monster houses how so Indigo?

[Indigo (Lisa)] One hit Brer twice and hurt him real bad.

Lord Tiberius (Master) grabs a roll off the side table

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Well Brer.......

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I mean

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Not many who can outfight a dwarf with his preferred weapon, but I think you sell yourself short.

Brer Necholas (TMO) smiles at Tiberius.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can't believe you liked the talking sword and don't want to see the attacking house

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I think an attacking house would be interesting

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] but just one?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] with how many? 6 of us?

[Indigo (Lisa)] FIVE!!!!

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Is that really ?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] OH

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] OH

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] OHHHHHH

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] five houses?

[Indigo (Lisa)] It's town full of attacking houses!

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] all attacking at once?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] how did you get out?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno only one attacked the other night but they don't move and we stayed away from the others

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Just one, the others remained still. Dawn came.

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Well if it is only at night that means;......

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Well I guess that would be fun

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You can stay home with the children darling. Don't worry about it if you don't want to come on an adventure

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Grins

Lord Tiberius (Master) HUGS

Lord Tiberius (Master) KISSES

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] you are coming too right?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Of course!

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Have you ever heard of a house attacking people?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] This is fun!

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Indigo how did you do this?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm going to bring some extra magic weapons just in case

Snezana (Spring) smiles gratefully

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno. We just hit it until it fell apart

[Nanny Gothhawk (Master)] Lord Tiberius you have swimming lessons tomorrow

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Oh

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Well You know that

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Snee, anything else you need? Is Kenna coming?

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] well

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I can make it up

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] I think

Nanny Gothhawk (Master) frowns

[Nanny Gothhawk (Master)] Demi will be very disappointed

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] But

Lord Tiberius (Master) looks at Branwyn

Lord Tiberius (Master) looks at Indigo

[Snezana (Spring)] Kenna is coming

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There is no rush on his lessons.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Snee "Good!"

[Snezana (Spring)] we'll take all the help we can get

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Demi I promise you can come with us

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] you want to see houses that are moving and attacking Indigo right?

[Demitrius (Master)] YAHHHHH

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Would anyone from the guild be wanted? We can go there and talk to Ilero if you want

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] OK

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] that is settled

[Snezana (Spring)] may I recommend that children stay here. these are devastating houses

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] They do need to learn

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] He will be fine

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I agree with Snee. Maybe we can start him on bullywugs

Lord Tiberius (Master) looks at Branwyn

Lord Tiberius (Master) looks at Demi

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Sorry buddy I guess we will go out hunting when I get back

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] at least we can do that while we are doing swimming lessons

Branwyn (Lisa) nods

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] and your mother said it is good if we go find Bullywugs!

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Demitrius (Master)] booo, pouts

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You have never even seen a bullywug. You'll like them

Skarphedin (Ryan) wonders how they taste.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (sorry, family stuff)

[Master] So now you have another side trek set, grins

[Master] and Branwyn and Tiberius off to hunt houses

[Master] and who else? Kenna and?

[Master (to GM only)] Uthin moved 6'06".

[Master] Howard Plum moved 138'11".

[Master] Indigo moved 160'00".

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 144'00".

[Lisa] it's late and TMO went off making it hard to have an Ilero/Shur convo

[Master] this is sad but true

[Master] we can do that first thing next week

[Spring] also I’m cold

[Master] or he can do that on the site

[Lisa] maybe next week and if she says yes click over to road again

[Master] have a great night everyone

[Spring] I have a great sleeping bag but I’m not in it yet

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Sorry you're cold, Spring

[Master] thank you everyone and sorry Spring

[Lisa] Get warm Spring and have a safe trip home!

[Master] hope it is better next week for you

[Spring] sorry I was a crab

[Skarphedin (Ryan)] Night, everyone!

[Spring] gnite!!!

[Lisa] Goodnight all!

Spring has left the game on Sat Apr 17 00:12:09 EDT 2021

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] yeah, sorry - we've got a kid event in the morning and we're trying to get ready for all the things we didn't think of until right this very second

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] g'nite!

Lisa has left the game on Sat Apr 17 00:12:25 EDT 2021

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

TMO has left the game on Sat Apr 17 00:12:31 EDT 2021
