[Spring] the Dominos was out of ham, can you believe that?
[Master] that is crazy
[Spring] i wound up ordering a bacon and pineapple pizza
[Lisa] Hello! :)
[Carissa] still sounds delicious
[Lisa] not a bad substitute
[Spring] how are all-a-yáll tonight?
[Lisa] can't go wrong with bacon
[Lisa] good . how are you doing?
[Spring] better than usual. i don't feel like i'm about to die of fatigue
[Carissa] definitely been better, but hopefully on the mend
Spring crosses fingers
[Lisa] better is good
[Master] hope so
[Spring] so i caved and got cable internet
[Spring] the major difference is when i take zumba class, the video and the music match
[Master] that is nice
[Spring] and some of my online TV doesn't buffer anymore. disney and apple+ were really bad with the bandwidth
[Lisa] hopefully you got a good intro deal
[Carissa] I wish I had internet options. Mine sucks and there's no competitor to change to
[Spring] :-(
[Spring] because i'm rural, i qualify for a subsidy, so i get that for a time
[Carissa] Cable is very nice. Miss it. Glad you get to experience no buffing :)
[Carissa] Buffering? Whichever it is
[Spring] hehehe
[Master] so this is the group tonight
[Spring] um wow
[Master] Lemon and TMO are out
[Lisa] okie
[Joe (Master)] Kilt, did you leave that door open?
[Kilt (Master)] Of course not
Spring is receiving the map Inn of the lost eagle...
Spring has received the map Inn of the lost eagle.
Indigo (Lisa) spins around "Who's there?"
[Master] no one visible
Carissa is receiving the map Inn of the lost eagle...
Carissa has received the map Inn of the lost eagle.
Indigo (Lisa) whispers "It's the ghosts!"
[Snezana (Spring)] (did we all hear them?)
[Master] Yes
N'laea (Carissa) hand hovering over sword handles
Snezana (Spring) whispers "you might be right"
[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!
[Snezana (Spring)] who's there? please show yourself!
[Indigo (Lisa)] (nope - don'
[Indigo (Lisa)] (don't see invisible people)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Um...hello...?
[Master] Nothing
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Snee's spell still active?)
[Snezana (Spring)] (i would think so)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (is the door still open?)
[Master] yes
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] That hourglass is running out. Do you think we should turn it before it does?
[Master] Yes the door is still open
[Raelynn (Carissa)] I don't know. Do we want time to run out? What if it's timing a cake baking?
Raelynn (Carissa) goes to carefully close the door
[Master] yes Snee's spell is still going
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Someone must have turned it rcently if the sand is moving
[Snezana (Spring)] (pizza)
[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.
Raelynn (Carissa) waits to see if any "ghosts" speak then opens the door wide again with a bang
[Master] No voices react to you closing the door
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (and reopening it loudly?)
[Master] nothing when you reopen either
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Howard, if someone is invisible, would you run into them still or go through them?
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I'm going outside until the time runs out. I don't think it's a good idea for us all to be here at the same time when it goes if ghosts are involved
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] You would run into them. Like when you wear your cloak
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Do you think they're invisible or ghosts?
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] But if you were incorporeal then ...
Raelynn (Carissa) starts walking aruond with arms out
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] The word has been ghosts
Howard Plum (Lisa) looks at status of hourglass
[Master] the sand is slowly dripping downward
[Master] Howard can make an intuition check
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (and estimates for how long until it runs out?)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum: INU check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 8!!
[Master] Howard can tell it is not moving regularly but cannot tell what the actual rate is
[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea: Tracking check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] It doesn't seem to work like a normal hourglass. It is strange
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (looking for footprints but guessing none :P)
[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.
[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.
[Snezana (Spring)] (must be a new driver. they went way the wrong way)
Howard Plum (Lisa) stands by the hourglass first and then walks around the room keeping one eye on the hourglass
[Master] Howard sees a faint glow of magic around the entire Inn with several glowing blobs in the room but the Hourglass is like a Sun glowing with super powerful magic
Howard Plum (Lisa) holds his hand to his eyes as if to shield them
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] The hourglass! It is the most powerful magic item I have ever seen
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] But the whole inn is imbued with magic
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh! Should I dispel it?
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] And there are glowing ... blobs of magic?
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] That might be safer than waiting to see what happens
Howard Plum (Lisa) walks to one of the blobs and tries to poke it
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Ok!
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn casts a spell against : Dispel Magic - Priest: I dispel (11-(1d20)+5) [1d20=16] 0 level magic.
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (.....uhhh)
[Master] Howard does not feel anything it seems his finger goes right into something
[Master] Raelynn casts and has no effect
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (is she aware if it was low level dispel?)(
[Snezana (Spring)] (he missed us a second time but i finally have my pizza)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] There is nothing there to touch on these magical blobs. They might be the spirits
[Master] She knows she was not able to dispel such a high level thing
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (yay!)
[Master] Delayed Pizza is still good Pizza
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Umm, that's some strong magic...
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum casts a spell against : Glitterdust: 20 ft cube of golden dust. Reveals invisible creatures and blinds those who fail a save for (1d4+1) [1d4=4] 5 rounds. The dust coats everything for (1d4+7) [1d4=2] 9 rounds. Failed save = -4 to attack, saving throws & AC. Range 10 yds/Lvl.
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Govenor, can you dispel such a thing?
[Snezana (Spring)] (catching up)
Howard Plum (Lisa) casts on the glowing blobs in range
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (or however you spell it)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (anything get glitter bombed?)
[Snezana (Spring)] i truly don't know if i can
[Master] The stools and bar and hourglass, etc all get covered but no new firgures revealed
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I think we should all leave before the hourglass runs out
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] We can come back in later
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] There is magic about to happen!
[Raelynn (Carissa)] How long do you think that'll be?
Howard Plum (Lisa) voice panicky
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I don't know! But look at it!
[Master] anyone with alterness
Raelynn (Carissa) looks at it
[Master] make a roll
[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 15!!
[Snezana (Spring)] you say that the hourglass is the most magical thing? i'll try on that
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (bob?)
[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Dispel Magic - Priest: I dispel (11-(1d20)+8) [1d20=16] 3 level magic.
[Master] nothign else?
Howard Plum (Lisa) grabs Johan's hand and runs out of the inn
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] COME ON!
[Snezana (Spring)] you all go
[Indigo (Lisa)] Howard!
Indigo (Lisa) runs after them out of the inn
[Indigo (Lisa)] Howard Plum moved 31'11".
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 31'08".
[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Extradimensional Detection: For (8) 8 rounds, I can detect any extradimensional spaces in a 10'x60' path in front of me.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Johan the Apprentice moved 28'03".
[Master] Snee sees new writing on the wall in what appears to be blood
Snezana (Spring) backs out while looking
[Indigo (Lisa)] Howard! Get yourself together.
[Snezana (Spring)] (is it in Common?)
[Master] Yes
Snezana (Spring) reads it while backing out with the others
[Snezana (Spring)] (or with howard)
Raelynn (Carissa) follows the cautious others
[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea moved 18'02".
[Master] /Snee it says Halfway
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn moved 20'05".
[Snezana (Spring)] let's get all the way out of the gate and everything
Indigo (Lisa) nods
[Indigo (Lisa)] Howard Plum moved 37'09".
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 32'05".
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn moved 41'07".
[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea moved 38'08".
[Snezana (Spring)] i tried to dispel and nothing happened
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Ummm was that blood on the walls we saw as we left...?
[Snezana (Spring)] because it's an hourglass, i wondered about something, so i cast extradimentional detection
[Snezana (Spring)] and that showed me writing in what appeard to be blook that said "Halfway"
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Bl ... blood?
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (oh whoops Rae didn't see that, sorry)
[Snezana (Spring)] i don't know the significance of the blood but i wonder if halfway means the in is stuck between dimentions
[Raelynn (Carissa)] How can you be stuck between?
[Snezana (Spring)] (omg the typing and spelling)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (spellcheck will fix most)
[Snezana (Spring)] i don't know
[Snezana (Spring)] it defies reason
[Indigo (Lisa)] We won't know when the hourglass is done unless something huge happens or we go back in there
[Raelynn (Carissa)] So it's not ghosts? But what did we hear?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm not good at waiting
[Master (to Spring only)] the hourglass itself seems to be a conduit for extra demensional space too
[Snezana (Spring) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Snezana modified: Notes - CHANGED.
[Snezana (Spring)] and further
[Snezana (Spring)] looking at the hourglass itself, it looked like it was kind of a .... pipe?
[Snezana (Spring)] that space was coming out of? it hurt my head
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Was the item cursed? Do you think maybe we just need to uncurse it?
[Snezana (Spring)] it doesn't feel like religion magic. it feels like wizard magic
[Master] yes
[Snezana (Spring)] that is just my gut, but the overpowering pipe-ness
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I don't recognize curses or evil. Just magic
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Blood doesn't seem like very good magic to me though
[Snezana (Spring)] i know you mean quality. it doesnt seem goot to me from a moral angle either
[Snezana (Spring)] let's keep watching to see if anything changes over there as the hourglass runs out
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] The glow coming from the hourglass was bright as the sun outside of the Mist
[Snezana (Spring)] i mean i know we can't see the hourglass but
[Snezana (Spring)] can you see the glow from out here?
Howard Plum (Lisa) looks
[Master] no to seeing anything outside
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (windows?)
[Master] windows are dirty
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (are there windows we could open?)
[Master] yes
[Snezana (Spring) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Snezana modified: Notes - CHANGED.
[Snezana (Spring)] (i made an error and used too many L3 spells)
[Snezana (Spring)] (i thought i had 3 but i just had 2)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (only works for 14 rds - is it even still working ?)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (he and snee were both casting afterwards - might not even be working)
[Snezana (Spring)] (anything happening? nothing going vague or dark, no people appearing?)
[Master] nothing
[Master] just being quiet
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Okay. The hourglass was on the bar at that end of the room? I'll try to open a window so we could maybe see it
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (drat! meant Indigo - not Howard)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (howard wouldn't do that)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Be right back!
Snezana (Spring) looks concerned
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 76'10".
[Indigo (Lisa)] runs up to the windows and tries to open them from the outside
[Master] They open from the inside
[Indigo (Lisa)] Argh!
Indigo (Lisa) runs inside and looks at the hourglass before messing with the windows
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 8'10".
[Master] Hourglass is still trickling down
Indigo (Lisa) runs and tries to open the window in line with it
[Master] He finds two of them
[Master] and can easily open them
[Master] then then close back
[Master] no stick to hold them open as he expected
[Indigo (Lisa)] Argh!
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Umm, do you need help in there?
Indigo (Lisa) takes his cloak and tries to clean the windows
[Master (to Lisa only)] he could grab a stool
[Master] dirt does not come off easily
Indigo (Lisa) runs to the bar and looks for something to use as a prop
[Indigo (Lisa)] (how close is Raelynn?)
[Master] There is the hourglass..... grins
[Indigo (Lisa)] (could he hear her?)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (whoops meant to have her come closer to the door)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (very funny)
[Master] yes he could hear her
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn moved 39'07".
Indigo (Lisa) looks for books
[Indigo (Lisa)] Chairs
[Master] yes there are
[Master] easily to move
Indigo (Lisa) finds a chair with legs and takes his sword to chop them off
[Master] breaks
Indigo (Lisa) tries to prop open the window with them
[Master] easy to do
Indigo (Lisa) sticks his head out the window
[Indigo (Lisa)] Can you see it?
[Master] yes
[Master] they can
[Indigo (Lisa)] (thanks :) )
Indigo (Lisa) looks at the hourglass again to see if it looks lower than when he came in
[Master] maybe a little bit
Indigo (Lisa) runs back out again
[Master] I will give Indigo an Intuition check first
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 63'10".
[Indigo (Lisa)] There!
[Indigo (Lisa)] That hourglass is moving pretty slowly
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Ooh it probably needed some airing out!
[Indigo (Lisa)] It looks like it is running out but it's not going very fast
[Raelynn (Carissa)] I wonder if the ghosts will yell about that...
[Indigo (Lisa)] We'll see if they shut them
[Indigo (Lisa)] (I don't have obs - any point in looking around the room - other than no dust and magic we didn't look at much else)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!
[Master] Intuition for Indigo
N'laea (Carissa) glances inside through the window towards the Hourlgass
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: INU check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!
[Master (to Lisa only)] the glass is dirty but not broken if this place has been abandoned for decades or more how did the glass not break?
[Master] anyone looking through the open window can see the hourglass
[Snezana (Spring)] Howard, it's pretty obvious to me that the hourglass is the thing doing this effect to the village. do you have ideas about what a mage would have to do to fix it?
[N'laea (Carissa)] (well yes, thought an obs roll was requested is all)
[Indigo (Lisa)] This is a strange place. If the coins are super old then so is the inn. None of the windows are broken.
[Snezana (Spring)] neutralize it maybe?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Usually windows get broken pretty easy
[Snezana (Spring)] or safely take it away?
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Well, you would need the mage that enchanted the item to turn it off
[Master (to Carissa only)] the sand sparkles in non-existant light as it slowly trickles downward
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Which might be difficult if it's been here 100 years or however long it's been here
[Snezana (Spring)] and if that mage is dead?
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Or you would need a mage or priest who was as powerful as the one that created it to dispel it.
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Think of how hard it's been to try to dispel Black Cloak's magic glass casket for his daughter
Snezana (Spring) sighs
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Hmmm ... I should cast on that to compare how strong the magic is
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Magic items usually have a command word.
[N'laea (Carissa)] Enough to make sand sparkle with a lack of light.
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Maybe Branwyn could cast Identify on it? She would have to sit here with it for 8 hours though
[Raelynn (Carissa)] If a wizard made a super power item, would they sign it? Or leave their mark on it somehow?
[Snezana (Spring)] that's an intereting idea
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I coould try one more thing to try to discover something
[Girl (Master)] I dare you to climb the wall and fetch me an apple
[Boy (Master)] Ifyou want an apple just ask
[Girl (Master)] You would go into the haunted inn for me if I ask?
Howard Plum (Lisa) ignores the children and tries to be brave and walks to the window
[Boy (Master)] I would do anything for you
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (you all can talk to the kids :) )
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Ummm, hello?
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum moved 79'03".
[Girl (Master)] I want you to bring me an apply please
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I was guessing they were more ghosts, lol)
Howard Plum (Lisa) looks at the hourglass from the window
[Snezana (Spring)] (are they inside or outside the wall?)
[Boy (Master)] Come with me and I will boost you up into the trees to get all the apples you want
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum: Tactics of Magic check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!
[Master] you do not see anything around you or any one
Raelynn (Carissa) looks around for an apple tree
[Master] checking for Lisa now
Snezana (Spring) sighs
[Master] all the trees are apple trees
[Master] see description of Hourglass
Raelynn (Carissa) looks around for an apple tree swaying in the breeze :P
[Master] for a hint on that
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (bah assuming I read a thing that I did but months ago)
[Snezana (Spring)] too late to warn the children. they are already in it, whatever it is
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (are there actually apples on the trees right now?)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Indigo moved 23'05".
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Johan the Apprentice moved 37'11".
[Master] Yes to Carissa on apples in the trees
[Master] yes to Howard for insight
[Master] From what Snee said plus other checks that Hourglass must be a portal to somepace/thing and the magic works best when it takes the form of what it is supposed to do, hence sweet tasting potions are good, wands of red tend to be fire spells, etc. so an hourglass, with the other old things, and multi-dimensional could (maybe) mean changing time so a statis type of thing
[Snezana (Spring)] i don't know what we can do about this, besides bring back the most powerful mage we can find or send for
[Snezana (Spring)] it's an hourglass, so we can assume it's messing with time
[Snezana (Spring)] none of us have been able to affect it
[Master] no one actually tried to touch it
[Master] just used magic on it
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Yes, that is what I can tell but I'm not sure much more than that
[Snezana (Spring)] (well yeah)
[Snezana (Spring)] (it could do something horrible to the person who touches it)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (make Johan do it!)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] :)
[Master] Johan will do it he will touch anything!
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (LOL)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I double dog dare him!)
[Snezana (Spring)] https://youtu.be/B9FzVhw8_bY
[Master] BUT now you see the dilema of Hourglass
Howard Plum (Lisa) looks to see how much sand is left
[Master] obviously powerful magic
[Snezana (Spring)] (oh i just remembered i've been trying to kill off Snee. maybe i should go ahead and attempt to break the hourglass
[Master] people disapear
[Master] LOL
[Master] Howard sees sand falling still
[Master] he can make an inuition check
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum: INU check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 8!!
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (howard not good at that)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Sand is still falling ...
[Snezana (Spring)] oh! i have just had a terrible idea
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] It's taking a long time
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] What?
[Snezana (Spring)] everyone, keep standing back
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum moved 79'04".
[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Spiritual Hammer: I summon forth a magical hammer which flies around and hits things for (3+8) 11 rounds.
Raelynn (Carissa) stands way back outside
[Snezana (Spring)] Attack: Spirtual Hammer:: is now ARMED.
[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana: Attack: Spirtual Hammer: (16-(d20+0)) [1d20=20] -4
[Master] OK
[Snezana (Spring)] (it's gonna just bounce off, isnt it)
[Master] You rolled a 20
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (nope he said OK)
[Snezana (Spring)] (uh oh, the capitals)
[Master] Thinking
[Master] sorry this will take a moment you went WAY WAY WAY out there on the edge of possibilities
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (we'll wait - we have time :) )
[Snezana (Spring)] (if i just nuked us all, i am so sorry)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (ahahah perfect)
[Master] using a magical spell of a magical weapon on a magical item and then rolled a critical hit on it
[Snezana (Spring)] (i didn't wanna touch it!)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (was a great idea!)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (you mean you didn't plan for this??)
[Master] Yes it was a spectacular idea
[Snezana (Spring)] (hahahaha what plan)
[Snezana (Spring)] (if it were a plan i woulda discussed it)
[Master] brb getting water and thinking
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I meant Bob, lol
[Snezana (Spring)] (oh, hahahaha)
[Snezana (Spring)] (i really should have brought it up for discussion)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (nah you're fine)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (nah! this was good. sometimes you just have to go for it)
[Snezana (Spring)] (maybe we will get lucky and it will just cause snee to have a stroke)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (we hope ;) )
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (we hope to being fine! not the stroke!!)
[Snezana (Spring)] (it sounds like maybe an irresistable force/immovable object thing)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (if it doesn't break it it just tosses it into space via the force?)
[Snezana (Spring)] (all that energy is going to have to go somewhere, if the hourglass doesn;t break)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (with the windows were closed though considering she just sent magic flying all over the place most likely :) )
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (wish)
[Snezana (Spring)] (so it could follow the field of magic right back to the caster)
[Snezana (Spring)] (well the place is entirely coated in magic, so no big difference there)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] true
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] Ok so I will let Spring control the fate of this
[Master] Step one Snee did hit into the Magical Hourglass with the Spritual Hammer
[Master] Step two that knocks the hourglass off of the bar top
[Master] Step three as the hourglass is spinning in mid air ........
[Lisa] (and it was a critical hit so she has to hit it again?)
[Master] Roland moved 5'07".
[Master] Roland targets Orthinmadrigal the Amazing. Distance: 1'02"
[Master] Raelynn moved 4'06".
[Master] Mig moved 10'09".
[Master] Ergel the Arm moved 16'01".
[Master] Tinlin moved 4'06".
[Master] barkeep moved 5'01".
[Master] Alain moved 4'09".
[Master] Gormel moved 3'01".
[Master] Gormel targets Orthinmadrigal the Amazing. Distance: 4'02"
[Master] Susan Delgado moved 4'06".
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (did they come to us or us to them...?)
[Master] You see many new people appear around you
[Master] At this point you do not know Carissa
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (dun dun dunnnn)
Snezana (Spring) gasps
[Lisa] (Snee suddenly increases the tax base of the Protectorate)
[Master] Raelynn has a horse next to her suddenly
Raelynn (Carissa) also gasps
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Horse!
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Aww, hello beauty!!
Raelynn (Carissa) holds hand out for the horse
[Master] the hourglass spins around
[Master] and everyone disapears
Snezana (Spring) gasps again
[Master] and the Inn disapears
[Master] all is filled in with a grey fog
[Master] NOT The Mist
[Master] like the rest of the world has disapeared
Indigo (Lisa) mouth falls open watching it all
[Snezana (Spring)] are you all still here?!
[Master] Then the hourglass continues to spin
[Snezana (Spring)] i can't see anything!
[Master] Howard points to a mage
[Master] he is yelling reaching for the hourglass, he has a spear sticking out of his back
[Master] and the hourglass falls towards the floor
[Master] now Spring
[Master] You get to roll a d20
[Master] IF you get a 20 the hourglass survives
[Snezana (Spring)] (1d20) [1d20=14] 14
[Master] if not it break
[Master] OK
[Snezana (Spring)] (capitals again)
[Master] Snezana XP award: 10000. Next level in 91800.
[Master] Suddenly everything around you is brighter
[Indigo (Lisa)] (wow! Very good!)
[Master] as in full daylight brighter
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Sweet!)
[Master] as in want to make a guess?
[Snezana (Spring)] wait
[Snezana (Spring)] wait
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (uh oh)
[Snezana (Spring)] is The Mist gone?
[Master] Yes
Snezana (Spring) gasps
[Master] here in this Inn
[Master] You can see it there just outside the walls
[Snezana (Spring)] (oh okay)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (oh good thought it was a time thing)
[Master] but here
[Snezana (Spring)] (i thought i broke the ecosystem)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (did it travel to the time before the Mist??)
[Master] yes
[Master] to both Spring and Lisa
[N'laea (Carissa)] (so it is a time thing)
[Master] You are standing here in the courtyard of the Inn of the lost eagle the heart of Hourglass and you are NOT in The Mist
[N'laea (Carissa)] (did the time bubble go from hourglass to inn?)
[Master] Where The Mist has been for at least 50 years
[Master] When you look around
[Indigo (Lisa)] (only Snee and Raelynn are inside the gates - are the rest of us in the Mist looking in?)
[Master] you spot shards of glass on the floor a broken metal stand
[Master] and a small pile of sparkling sand
[Master] yes to Lisa
[Indigo (Lisa)] (so Snee's mission is to travel around tossing magic dust around)
[Master] and Yes to Snee and Raelynn seeing Indigo etc standing there on the edge of The Mist
[Raelynn (Carissa)] It's sunny!!
[Snezana (Spring)] it is so so sunny
[Raelynn (Carissa)] I forgot how much I love the sun.
[N'laea (Carissa)] Sun?
[Snezana (Spring)] (all the people and horse who appeared, are they in the sun also?)
[Snezana (Spring)] (or have they vanished again?)
N'laea (Carissa) carefully attempts to cross into the sunny side?
[Master] All the people are there
[barkeep (Master)] Wait what happened?
[barkeep (Master)] (yes to N'laea )
Snezana (Spring) looks at the guy with the spear in his back to see if he can be saved
[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea moved 14'07".
[barkeep (Master)] Who are you?
[N'laea (Carissa)] Oh, this is much better.
[barkeep (Master)] How did you come out of the mist?
N'laea (Carissa) sighs happily
Lisa has left the game on Fri Jul 23 20:56:30 EDT 2021
Lisa has joined the game on Fri Jul 23 20:56:53 EDT 2021
Lisa is receiving the map Inn of the lost eagle...
Lisa has received the map Inn of the lost eagle.
[Snezana (Spring)] we are just people and i broke an hourglass. i know that's not a great answer
[Master] barkeep moved 6'06".
[Snezana (Spring)] time is messed up here. we are from your future, i think
Indigo (Lisa) tugs on Howard's sleeve
[barkeep (Master)] You BROKE the hourglass?
[barkeep (Master)] HOW
[Master] Susan Delgado targets Orthinmadrigal the Amazing. Distance: 10'10"
[Indigo (Lisa)] You know how much gold this inn could make being a inn without Mist in the Mist? Everyone will want to come and stay here!
[Master] Susan Delgado: Attack: Whip: (20-(d20+0)) [1d20=13] 7. HITS Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (AC FINAL: 10)!!!
[Master] Susan Delgado: Damage v SM: Whip: (1d2) [1d2=1] 1 added to: Orthinmadrigal the Amazing
[Raelynn (Carissa)] She used a really cool hammer...
[Snezana (Spring)] hey?!?!
[Snezana (Spring)] that's my patient!
[Susan Delgado (Master)] STOP HIM
[Raelynn (Carissa)] What are you doing??
Indigo (Lisa) walks into the courtyard
[Susan Delgado (Master)] He is trying for the hourglass
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 16'08".
[Carissa] Raelynn targets Orthinmadrigal the Amazing. Distance: 34'02"
[barkeep (Master)] How is he alive?
[Snezana (Spring)] well it's gone
[barkeep (Master)] He died
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Er, wait is he alive or not? To get what hourglass? It's gone.
[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 15'07".
[Indigo (Lisa)] (does Indigo recognize him?)
[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana moved 3'04".
[Master] No Indigo does not recognize him
[Snezana (Spring)] (i can't tell how injured he is)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (wasn't that the name of the mage that was taking ships during the war?)
[Master] (yes)
[Snezana (Spring)] if he's dangerous, let's restrain him, but i still need to treat him
[Master] and he has a spear in his back pinning him down
[Master] he is dying/dead
[Indigo (Lisa)] (ok)
[Master] below zero
[Snezana (Spring)] (so confused)
[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Cure Light Wounds: You're healed (-1d8) [1d8=5] -5 points.
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (same)
[Master] that stops the bleeding
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (at least he can't cast spells for a day now)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (although I guess he still has a spear through him?)
[Master] so in order Yes to Lisa that is the name of the mage who was comandeering ships during the civil war
[Snezana (Spring) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Snezana modified: Notes - CHANGED.
[Master] Yes he is not dead now but has a spear in his back
[Snezana (Spring)] indigo, could you please help me gently remove this spear
[Snezana (Spring)] and then i'll put pressure on the wound, but my cast should help with the clotting
[Master] Yes you have new people that appeared that were attacking him on sight
[Master] Yes to removing the spear is a new wound after the healing
[Master] so will need additional treatment
[Indigo (Lisa)] (waiting for Bob to finish)
[Snezana (Spring)] EVERYBODY ELSE STOP
Snezana (Spring) using hte mommy voice
[Master] and finally yes to several other people around talking and being amazed
[Snezana (Spring)] whatever was going on here is OVER
[Master] and now GO
[Snezana (Spring)] (oh sorry)
[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay Snee.
[Master (to Lisa only)] Indigo can make a knowledge check
Indigo (Lisa) walks over to the mage thinking
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: KNO check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!
Snezana (Spring) wadding up bits of his robe around the wound
[Indigo (Lisa)] (he knows about pulling spears out of people)
[Snezana (Spring)] (and them mostly surviving it, i assume)
[Snezana (Spring)] (pulling them out generally shouldn't need a lot of KNO LOL)
[Master (to Lisa only)] as he is helping with the de-spearing he recognizes that several of the voices around him are like Imari, they must be from Carnak
[Indigo (Lisa)] If we pull it out he's going to start bleeding again before you can stop it.
[Snezana (Spring)] yes i'll have to do it again
[Snezana (Spring)] the casting, i should have waited but i thought it had fallen out
[Indigo (Lisa)] Wait! Those voices. They sound like Imari's.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Like from Carnak
[Indigo (Lisa)] How did people from Carnak get here?
[Snezana (Spring)] oh? you should have a chat after this fellow doesn't die
Indigo (Lisa) scratches his head
[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay. Ready?
[Snezana (Spring)] ready
Snezana (Spring) holding the fabric on the wound
Indigo (Lisa) takes hold of the spear and then pulls straight up
Snezana (Spring) applies pressure
[Snezana (Spring)] Snezana casts a spell against : Cure Light Wounds: You're healed (-1d8) [1d8=4] -4 points.
[Master] that stops it totally
[Snezana (Spring) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Snezana modified: Notes - CHANGED.
[Master] he is still uncouncous but not bleeding
[Snezana (Spring)] thanks, Indigo
[Snezana (Spring)] now you can go find out
[Indigo (Lisa)] Sure
Indigo (Lisa) looks around and calls loudly "Are you from Carnak?"
Snezana (Spring) rests
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.TO-SUM
[Master] for a quick summary of the conversations you have with people
[Master] The year is?/was 187 SKR.... it is now 350 SKR
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.BattleOfHastiltonHill
[Snezana (Spring)] so this guy was a wizard warrior then?
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DF-Hourglass
[Snezana (Spring)] he's got no war to fight now
[Snezana (Spring)] all that is over
[Master] Letting everyone catch up on those three links and seeing how they all intersect
[Lisa] My first thought was that mage could not have made that hourglass
[Lisa] Maybe he found it
[Spring] hm
[Master] Why do you say that?
[Lisa] he didn't seem that powerful
[Master] because he had a spear in his back?
[Lisa] why would you put a powerful mage in charge of being a ship traffic cop?
[Master] 163 years later?
[Lisa] no anyone can take a weapon to the back
[Lisa] I thought these people once they got trapped here they couldn't leave
[Lisa] He was on the river going into Drillian
[Master] He was here at the Inn in 187 with the hourglass.... there was an Orthanmadrigal in 345 something that was comandeering ships
[Master] Yes to Lisa
[Master] all three of the things you said are true
[Spring] (dread pirate roberts
[Lisa] so ship mage took the older mage's name?
[Master] That is the most likely explination
[Master] tomorrow you can quiz this one
[Lisa] and had the nerve to call himself Amazing? The mages are disgusted
[Master] chuckles
[Lisa] not the trapped one - the imposter one
[Master] the trapped one was dead
[Spring] so this one is probably the full octane one
[Master] you broke the time link
[Spring] unless this guy also took somebody's name before 187
[Spring] so if it's still 187 inside the inn, i wonder if we can get out
[Lisa] these are the risks when you mess with the space time continuum. Someone might come along and break your time piece
[Master] grins
[Spring] or if people outside the inn in 187 can walk into where we are
[Master] the answer to the second question is yes, everyone but Howard has walked in
[Lisa] the people outside the gate are still Misty
[Spring] no, i mean people outside the inn in 187
[Master] Howard is outside of the gate
[Spring] like Erge's unit
[Lisa] Why was Johan walking? No one told him to walk :D
[Spring] howard is outside in 350
[Master] you can guess that Erge's unit does not exist becasue they would be in Skull Church now
[Master] unless you mean you think they might have been dragged forward in time suddenly from the past for some reason
[Spring] yeah they don't exist in 350
[Master] Only the walls of the Inn and within have come from 187 back to this time
[Spring] i don't think they were dragged forward. i'm wondering, if the inn is still in 187, is it linked to 187 still
[Spring] or is it completely cut off from it now
[Master] Well that is the puzzle
[Master] Howard is out in The Mist obviously in 350
[Spring] because if it's linked, the warring parties from 187 could still walk in here
[Master] the Inn is in sunlight with no Mist
[Lisa] so someone will have to try to walk back out again
[Master] and maybe from the Inn back into 187
[Master] or back into The Mist and 350
[Master] Talk it out, what are the possibilities
[Master] how to test them
[Spring] (OMG MY CAT POOPED IN THE LITTERBOX OMG OMG OMG!!!)
[Carissa] Grab the horse, pull it outside, see what happens
[Spring] (she hasn't done that in weeks, maybe months)
[Lisa] (yay?)
[Lisa] (oh then YAY!!)
[Spring] (i thought we'd gone entirely to pee pads)
[Carissa] (aww yay!)
[Spring] howard should throw a rock in here and we see where it goes
[Spring] and we should throw a rock out
[Master] The Inn stayed solid through it all
[Spring] i'm really hoping 187 is disconnected because we do not need it
[Master] with windows that did not break
[Master] etc
[Master] It was timeless
[Master] asnd you are in the sun, with no Mist
[Spring] that really bothers me
[Spring] i feel like we should get out because it might snap back
[Spring] once we figure out if we can get out
[Lisa] (seriously - if we can move back and forth this inn will be the prime Mist vacation spot)
[Lisa] (have your wedding in the sun!)
[Spring] hahahaha
[Master] vampire free zone
[Lisa] that too
[Lisa] lol
[Lisa] so we can start with a rock and move to animal testing
[Lisa] surprised that idea came from Carissa
[Master] lol
[Master] brb
[Master] plan and plot
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Lisa] I have to step away for a couple minutes too - brb
[Spring] hehehe
[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.
[Carissa] Well with all the horses lately.... I may be feeling a certain way about them
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] chuckles with Carissa
[Master] Spring you did really well
[Master] great stroke of luck and use of spells, etc
[Spring] hahahaha
[Master] both in breaking the spell, saving the mage from dying etc
[Spring] i really was gonna run up and hit it with any random thing and i saw the hammer in my weapons picker
[Spring] totally forgot it was an option
[Carissa] well you do have a way with hammers whether Kenna or Snee
[Spring] hahahahaha
[Master] could not be harmed by natural weapons needed a magical weapon and you did that AND got a critical hit as well
[Master] and then you saved the mage from dying
[Spring] kenna would have kicked her ass if she didn't try to save the inured
[Spring] injured hahahaha
[Spring] inured might apply too
[Master] and you also have Ergel back to play too Spring
[Master] if you want to give some throught to that
[Spring] oh now that's an idea
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] so with your short questioning you found out the time frame for these people
[Master] you know Mig and Gormel and Ergel are from Carnak and are on the side of the Queen Susan Roland Alain Cuthbert are on the Rebellions side
[Master] Tinlin was a wander who join in years later
[Master] the Barkeep was always here
[Master] and he is willing to talk and help with questions
[Master] barkeep moved 24'01".
[Master] Tinlin moved 28'00".
[Master] no one knows which side the mage was on as he was dead for hundreds of years
[Master] and I think this needs Carissa to please do a special summary of this quirk of a side adventure
[Carissa] (depends on how I feel, but will keep it in mind)
[Carissa] (even if it's just Snee hitting it with a hammer)
[Carissa] (also most people stay dead for more than a hundred years, usually the whole time)
[Spring] hahahahaha
[Spring] if we are okay to get out of here, i hope nobody presses charges agains the rebels
[Master] The Rebels won
[Spring] oh.
[Lisa] do they know that?
[Spring] well okay then, i hope nobody presses charges against the loyalists
[Master] not yet
[Spring] they'll know when we tell them
[Lisa] and does it matter since that war is done
[Master] that is what you are discussing
[Lisa] do we know?
[Master] what do you tell them, how to you break the subect of the current time and the fact that there is Mist out there
[Lisa] Brer is only native Drillian person here with local history nwp
[Lisa] Craigh maybe too
[Master] SO to make it easier on you I will speak as the barkeep
[Master] to keep a single focus on the informatoin flow
[Master] What do you want to tell him?
[Lisa] is there anything to drink in the bar?
[Carissa] Raelynn no longer targets Orthinmadrigal the Amazing.
[Master] and what questions do you have for him?
[Lisa] we could gather everyone together
[Carissa] no clue
[Master] If you mean everyone inside the walls of the Inn, excluding Howard yes
[Master] there is plenty of room inside for everyone
[Lisa] sure
[Master] Do you want Howard to come into the courtyard?
[Lisa] poor scared Howard
[Spring] ("okay team, huddle up!")
[Master] Do you want to talk with him?
[Lisa] no I think this suits him
[Lisa] indigo can
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 3'02".
[Snezana (Spring)] i do thing we should all have a drink for this discussion
[Snezana (Spring)] because what we are about to tell you will be strange
[Indigo (Lisa)] Howard, it's over 10 years earlier in here
[Indigo (Lisa)] We're going inside to talk. You stay here in case we can 't come out
[Raelynn (Carissa)] There's sunlight here!
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Do you want the horse to keep you company?
Indigo (Lisa) then follows Snee to ths discussion
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] How is a horse to keep me company?
[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 25'04".
[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 87'02".
[Master] Tinlin moved 53'11".
[Snezana (Spring)] (she just wants to put the horse through the time field hehehe)
[Master] barkeep moved 37'09".
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well you won't be alone?
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Indigo moved 30'03".
[Master] Alain moved 21'03".
[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea moved 72'04".
[Master] Cuthbert moved 27'03".
[Master] Roland moved 39'03".
[Master] Roland no longer targets Orthinmadrigal the Amazing.
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (exactly!)
[Master] N'laea moved 1'09".
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (in a not animal testing way!)
[Master] Susan Delgado moved 46'11".
[Master] N'laea moved 33'11".
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (except it kind of is)
[Master] Gormel moved 17'06".
[Master] Gormel no longer targets Orthinmadrigal the Amazing.
[Master] Susan Delgado moved 13'08".
[Master] Gormel moved 52'01".
Raelynn (Carissa) gently tries to lead the horse out to Howard
[Master] Tinlin moved 20'08".
[Master] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 39'00".
[Master] Orthinmadrigal the Amazing moved 49'04".
[Master] Indigo moved 45'10".
[Master] Snezana moved 43'00".
[Master] Snezana targets Orthinmadrigal the Amazing. Distance: 5'04"
[Master] Raelynn moved 67'02".
[Master] Ergel the Arm moved 70'04".
Howard Plum (Lisa) opens his arms as if to catch the horse
[Master] Mig moved 81'06".
[Master] Tinlin moved 20'04".
[Master] Gormel moved 24'09".
[Master] barkeep moved 18'06".
[Master] Tinlin moved 1'07".
[Master] done separating people into the four groups
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (did horse get to Howard?)
[Master] five counting Howard
[Master] Pylon moved 36'02".
[Master] Yes the horse is out in The Mist next to Howard
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Nice horse
Howard Plum (Lisa) pats horse
[Snezana (Spring)] (whew, i thought the horse might turn into a pile of dust)
[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Stay here nice horse
Howard Plum (Lisa) keeps patting horse
[Indigo (Lisa)] (solves that mystery)
[Master] North area is your group, plus the mage who is your prisoner? ward? patient?
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (see? animal testing can be beneficial)
[Master] Cental area is the mercenaries for the Queen
[Master] the South area are the rebels
[Indigo (Lisa)] (very much so)
[Master] out on teh side are the barkeep and Tinlin
[Snezana (Spring)] so from what you have told me, it was 187 when the mage did the hourglass thing. the present year, where we are from, is 350
[barkeep (Master)] That is amazing
[Snezana (Spring)] the rebellion was successful
[barkeep (Master)] Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Snezana (Spring) shrugs
[Snezana (Spring)] i guess that depends on whether you wanted them to or not
[Snezana (Spring)] i don't know all the history, just what i've recently been told
[Snezana (Spring)] but in the meantime, a mage cast a mist upon the land that shrouds the sun and dampens magic
[Master] Snee would know this page from her research around the PRotectorate and the battlegrounds
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.ThirdDrillianCivilWar
[Snezana (Spring)] no one has figured out how to do away with it. how long has that been going on? i think it was fifty years?
[Snezana (Spring)] (oh okay thanks)
[Master] The Mist crosses the Craniate Wastes in 298
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Drillian-TheMist
[Snezana (Spring)] so the people you knew are long gone, and i'm sorry about that
[Master] It reached the QUellcon Estates in 326
[Snezana (Spring)] if we can safely exit the inn, we can try to help you get re-established
[barkeep (Master)] That mist has been there since we were trapped
[barkeep (Master)] The soldiers tried to leave and just wandered in the grey mist with nothingness
[barkeep (Master)] they made it back here but there was nothign out there
[Snezana (Spring)] i think that's different mist
[Snezana (Spring)] the one i'm referring to doesn't do anything to reality
[Snezana (Spring)] just to magic
[Snezana (Spring)] priests who enter it become ill
[Snezana (Spring)] and have to adapt
[barkeep (Master)] (everyone)
[barkeep (Master)] (effect priests worse)
[Snezana (Spring)] everyone who enters it becomes ill
[Snezana (Spring)] and has to adapt, but it hits priests really hard
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Yeah it looked really grey before, but not this kind of grey? It's different!
[Snezana (Spring)] so these days, this area is under my governance. i'm the governor
[Snezana (Spring)] i answer to Dragon Fen, Countess Branwyn
[barkeep (Master)] Oh well, thank you your... highness? governorship?
[barkeep (Master)] What is Dragon Fen?
[Snezana (Spring)] its a new estate
[barkeep (Master)] What happend to the Quellcon Estates?
[barkeep (Master)] and to the Barington Estates?
[Snezana (Spring)] Quellcon is still there.
[Snezana (Spring)] (have i even heard of Barrington?)
[barkeep (Master)] (nope)
[Snezana (Spring)] Barrington doesn't sound familiar
[Snezana (Spring)] right outside this town i have a shrine and an office
[barkeep (Master)] They used to have a cathedral
[Snezana (Spring)] was it on a hill shaped like a skull?
[barkeep (Master)] YEs
[Snezana (Spring)] the estate is gone but the cathedral is there
[barkeep (Master)] That is good
[Snezana (Spring)] the reason i'm governor is to help revitalize the area so that the cathedral can stop attracting necromancers
[barkeep (Master)] Have the hobgoblins been defeated?
[Snezana (Spring)] because there have been a few
[Snezana (Spring)] some have
[Snezana (Spring)] and the regular goblins are subdued
[barkeep (Master)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.SkullChurch
[Snezana (Spring)] (i read all of this at one point but it's more than my memory can handle)
[barkeep (Master)] (grins yes is why it is off loaded onto the website)
[barkeep (Master)] (anyone can question him as you have thoughts)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (you're doing great)
[Snezana (Spring)] yes the hobgoblins have been defeated
[barkeep (Master)] ( and actually your shrine is only about 150 yards north of the inn)
[Snezana (Spring)] (yeah, i dunno why. i told them to build it on the edge of town. you just can't get good help anymore)
[barkeep (Master)] (grins that is the edge of town, Hourglass only had a few buildings outside of the walls of this inn)
[Snezana (Spring)] so the cathedral is being cleaned up and renovated from after the last necromancer incursion
[Snezana (Spring)] i hear that membership and tithing are up
[barkeep (Master)] Tyrin the Mighty was the last I knew of
[Snezana (Spring)] its not my religion so i try not to interfere
[Snezana (Spring)] oh Tynin was sainted
[Snezana (Spring)] there's quite a sad story about that. you should wait for a day when you can pamper yourself to read the tale
[barkeep (Master)] So this Countess Branwyn of Dragon Fen
[barkeep (Master)] Is he a good man?
[Snezana (Spring)] she is a good and wise woman
[Snezana (Spring)] her husband and consort is brave and strong
[barkeep (Master)] That is good
[barkeep (Master)] Does everyone still have Countess as a title?
[Snezana (Spring)] their children are lovely, smart, and strng as well
[Snezana (Spring)] not everyone
[Snezana (Spring)] that sounds pretty boring, did everyone used to be a countess?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Even the men?
[barkeep (Master)] Everyone used female titles
[barkeep (Master)] It was a custom the Queen liked
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's just weird
[Snezana (Spring)] that sounds kind of fun
[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)
[Snezana (Spring)] but no, it's no longer the custom
[barkeep (Master)] Queen Uklo started it
[barkeep (Master)] when everyone said she was a man
[barkeep (Master)] so she had everyone use female titles
[barkeep (Master)] when my grandfather had to say he was a Baroness he was not happy
[Indigo (Lisa)] I wouldn't either
[Indigo (Lisa)] Were you a bar maid?
[barkeep (Master)] I never had a title I left my family
[barkeep (Master)] Only nobles had to use titles
[barkeep (Master)] There was a huge scandal about... well you know all about it
[Indigo (Lisa)] Was Queen Uklo really a man though or did everyone just think she was?
[barkeep (Master)] What is it like out there?
[barkeep (Master)] Oh she was a woman, she had lots of kids after she stoped being a queen
[Indigo (Lisa)] People like to make things up about Queens I guess
[barkeep (Master)] maybe that is why people stopped using female titles?
[barkeep (Master)] so many things must have changed
[barkeep (Master)] The Bolpel's are still in charge?
[barkeep (Master)] They chose so many Queens
[Indigo (Lisa)] No! They led the last civil war but they lost
[barkeep (Master)] the last civil war?
[barkeep (Master)] there was another one?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (sorry - will turn it back to you Spring - just thought Indigo would think the female title thing was weird)
[Snezana (Spring)] (no, i'd have to look it up like everything else. happy to have help)
[Indigo (Lisa)] There was one over the current Queen
[barkeep (Master)] Who is the Queen now?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Queen Catherine Eustace named Wilimina Mosskin as her successor. She picked her own consort rather than from the main families and then a war broke out
[Indigo (Lisa)] She won so Queen Wilimina Mosskin is in charge
[barkeep (Master)] Queen Eustace lived how long?
[barkeep (Master)] but her name was Maribel
[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno. She seemed old when she got cursed. No it was Catherine. Someone gave her a withering disease
[barkeep (Master)] Queen Maribel Eustace was queen when the Third Civil War broke out
[barkeep (Master)] and people rebelled against her
[Indigo (Lisa)] But that was over 150 years ago
[Indigo (Lisa)] Not the same queen
[barkeep (Master)] Oh right
[barkeep (Master)] Every day the same but now different
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't think you need to know all that history stuff
[Indigo (Lisa)] It's peaceful out there now
[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you want to leave or do you want to stay here and re-open this inn?
[barkeep (Master)] Re-open? We have been here for ....
[barkeep (Master)] well
[barkeep (Master)] I bought it from a man who had it in his family for over a hundred years
[Indigo (Lisa)] I mean the Carnak people probably want to go home
[barkeep (Master)] I suppose
[Indigo (Lisa)] Not a lot of people from Carnak here
[barkeep (Master)] Will the Queen let the Bolpel people go home?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Don't see why not
[barkeep (Master)] You said they are not
[barkeep (Master)] well they were rebels and won? but now are rebels and lost?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yeah but we're at peace now like I said
[Indigo (Lisa)] Right now is more important than who was fighting who before
[barkeep (Master)] and those are not human, pointing to the elves
[Indigo (Lisa)] Otherwise everybody would always be mad at everybody
[barkeep (Master)] I mean you are not either
[barkeep (Master)] but you are a knight
[Snezana (Spring)] we have lots of sorts of people
[barkeep (Master)] I think people were mad at people for a long time
[barkeep (Master)] if they are not mad at each other now then maybe it is a good thing to be here
[Snezana (Spring)] and we are leaning into prosperity at this time
[Snezana (Spring)] mines and forges
[barkeep (Master)] Oh there must be lots of dwarves around then
[Snezana (Spring)] towns and roads
[Snezana (Spring)] not so many dwarves. lots of gnomes
[Snezana (Spring)] the last necromancer at the cathedral was torturing dwarves so i don't think they'll be comig out here for a while
[N'laea (Carissa)] Gnomes, goblins, and humans.
[barkeep (Master)] What about the lions?
[N'laea (Carissa)] This is an unpleasant place for elves.
[barkeep (Master)] the one's with a man's head
[Snezana (Spring)] i ... have not seen any lions
[N'laea (Carissa)] Lions do not have man's heads.
[barkeep (Master)] The Wastes used to have a couple of groups of them
[Snezana (Spring)] that sounds disquieting
[Snezana (Spring)] they may have migrated or died out. i've heard nothing of them
[barkeep (Master)] They were rare in my father's day
[N'laea (Carissa)] (the letowhatever things?)
[N'laea (Carissa)] (nevermind ignore me)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (that was the only thing close enough I could think of too but wasn't sure)
[barkeep (Master)] We had fewer people coming into the Inn the last.... um years?
[barkeep (Master)] Is Farmers Turn still a good road?
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well we DID think this place was haunted...
[Snezana (Spring)] it's getting better
[barkeep (Master)] Why did you think it was haunted?
[Raelynn (Carissa)] OH! Didn't one of Pete's men come this way? Is he here?
[barkeep (Master)] I mean we tried to warn people
[barkeep (Master)] Who is Pete?
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Ummm, Snee said there was blood on the wall...
[Snezana (Spring)] hey anybody here know a Pete!
[Snezana (Spring)] Pete's been looking for you, ifyou are here
[Raelynn (Carissa)] He didn't tell us your name, though!
[barkeep (Master)] No body new has stayed past sunrise in a very long time
[barkeep (Master)] Tinlin was the last
[Indigo (Lisa)] Who are the ghosts?
[barkeep (Master)] What ghosts?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Kilt?
[Raelynn (Carissa)] And some kids getting apples!
[barkeep (Master)] hmmm,
[Snezana (Spring)] people have been vanishing here
[Indigo (Lisa)] When we walked in there was an invisible person telling someone named Kilt about the door
[Snezana (Spring)] when i saw you i thought theyd be among you
[barkeep (Master)] Kilt? that name does not sound familar I think a couple of weeks ago? months? How do I tell time?
[barkeep (Master)] There was two people who tried to sleep in the barn
[barkeep (Master)] I tried to warn them
[barkeep (Master)] but the hourglass was almost out
[barkeep (Master)] and then it turned
[Raelynn (Carissa)] What happens when it turned?
[barkeep (Master)] Everything disapears
[barkeep (Master)] and we go back to the beginning
[Indigo (Lisa)] How come for you and not them?
[barkeep (Master)] I think because we were here when it started
[Raelynn (Carissa)] So there's just... gone?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hmmm ... wonder if they are still here
[barkeep (Master)] everyone after that only stayed as long as it was running
[barkeep (Master)] We did get someone once to turn it sideways
[barkeep (Master)] Susan wrote that on the wall
[barkeep (Master)] TILT IT
[barkeep (Master)] and we thought it broke it
[barkeep (Master)] but then they got scared when they saw us and dropped it
[barkeep (Master)] and we stayed here
[barkeep (Master)] Tinlin is the only one who picked it up and turned it all the way over
[barkeep (Master)] he stayed with us
[Snezana (Spring)] i see
[Raelynn (Carissa)] But Pete's man didn't return so he's.... somewhere?
[barkeep (Master)] Sometime?
[Snezana (Spring)] well no one clued into the warnings so the town was rumored to be haunted
[barkeep (Master)] Wer used to see more people it seems like
[Snezana (Spring)] between that and thecathedral always having necromancers, the popularity f the region went down a lot
[barkeep (Master)] but every day is the same
[Snezana (Spring)] oh and two other towns along the road having problems
[barkeep (Master)] They got tired of fighting when they healed up every morning
[Snezana (Spring)] one was full of houses that beat people up and one kept exploding all the time
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well everyday will be different now! For you all, at least.
[barkeep (Master)] What other towns? Two? there were at least 6 or 8 from here to Redfern Lake
[barkeep (Master)] No town ever survives there on the lake
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Umm, well those two towns aren't around, either, really.
[Snezana (Spring)] there's one there now
[Snezana (Spring)] pretty decent size. we get messengers from redfern from time to time
[Raelynn (Carissa)] What's wrong with the lake?
[barkeep (Master)] The monsters in the lake eat everyone who strays too close
[barkeep (Master)] and only two towns? that are not there? are they stuck like us?
[Snezana (Spring)] they must have been sorted at some point
[Snezana (Spring)] no, they only had the fighting and burning problems
[Snezana (Spring)] we've killed the fighting houses
[Snezana (Spring)] and roped off the area with the burning ones
[barkeep (Master)] I uh fighting houses
[barkeep (Master)] I am not
[Snezana (Spring)] but there aren't towns and villages all up and down Farmer's Turn anymore
[Snezana (Spring)] i'd like to change that though
[barkeep (Master)] well I guess things have changed in all those years
[barkeep (Master)] are there lots of gladiators then?
Snezana (Spring) blinks
[Snezana (Spring)] i would say there rae none
[barkeep (Master)] You said you killed the fighting houses,
[barkeep (Master)] so there must be gladiators out of work then?
[Snezana (Spring)] the structral houses themselves were fighting, and Indigo here and some others of us fought them
[Snezana (Spring)] but we don't compete for money or anything
barkeep (Master) looks at Indigo
[barkeep (Master)] you fought a house?
[Snezana (Spring)] (indigo was in on that right?)
[barkeep (Master)] Were you drunk?
[Snezana (Spring)] (i don't remember)
Snezana (Spring) smiles
[Indigo (Lisa)] Five houses
[barkeep (Master)] I mean I have seen people who go after things they say they see
[barkeep (Master)] You attacked five houses?
[Indigo (Lisa)] (sorry - was turning on lights)
[barkeep (Master)] and no one stopped you?
[Indigo (Lisa)] They attacked us first
[barkeep (Master)] How much did you have to drink?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Nothing
[Snezana (Spring)] they were vicious
[Indigo (Lisa)] They weren't really houses like houses
[Indigo (Lisa)] They had some weird house creature in them that attacked people on full moons
barkeep (Master) shakes his head
[Indigo (Lisa)] One of them swallowed our friend Talwin
[barkeep (Master)] I do think there is a good QUOTE there
[barkeep (Master)] I think that things have changed a lot
[Snezana (Spring)] yes
[barkeep (Master)] What are we going to do now?
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Keep the inn open?
[Raelynn (Carissa)] If it stays sunny here, you'll have a LOT of business!
[barkeep (Master)] Is it still mine?
Raelynn (Carissa) shrugs
[Snezana (Spring)] don't see why not. nobody else has claimed it
[barkeep (Master)] You said there is a new Countess and you are the Govenor? so you own this now?
[barkeep (Master)] Who would claim it when I am here?
[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well her house is nearby...
[barkeep (Master)] or was there? here? now? then?
[Snezana (Spring)] i administer it
[Indigo (Lisa)] If you pay taxes we protect you
Indigo (Lisa) grins
Snezana (Spring) smiles
[barkeep (Master)] There are people who do not pay taxes?
[barkeep (Master)] What does the Queen do to them?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno. Probably someone doesn't
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'll ask her the next time I see her
barkeep (Master) blinks
[barkeep (Master)] You talk to the Queen?
barkeep (Master) looking Indigo up and down
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm a knight for the Queen
[barkeep (Master)] You are a knight
[Snezana (Spring)] he's famous too
[barkeep (Master)] I mean a knight knight
[barkeep (Master)] famous for what?
[Snezana (Spring)] he's an active knight, not a name-only knight
[barkeep (Master)] a royal knight
[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummm we saved the Queen when she was running away. I was Admiral in the navy but I don't really do that any more
[barkeep (Master)] Why would the Queen run away?
[barkeep (Master)] and how do you not be in the Navy if you are an Admiral?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I found Chandler Cowles secret temple and brought his shield and book back
[barkeep (Master)] King Chandler Cowles
[barkeep (Master)] You knew him too?
[Indigo (Lisa)] yes him
[Indigo (Lisa)] No no. He was dead but that's why his temple was hidden
[barkeep (Master)] Who are you?!?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm Indigo
barkeep (Master) just stares for a bit
barkeep (Master) ah ok
[barkeep (Master)] SO you say you are the govenor here in Maki
[Indigo (Lisa)] We knew the Queen before she was Queen so we helped her a lot
[Indigo (Lisa)] Snee is Governor
[barkeep (Master)] Right sorry
[Indigo (Lisa)] What's Maki?
[barkeep (Master)] You are only the Queen's friend, a knight, an Admrial, and know where King Chandler Cowles' treasure was buried
[barkeep (Master)] But she is the Govenor
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes
[barkeep (Master)] Maki is here?
[barkeep (Master)] You said you are living in the village here,
[barkeep (Master)] Maki?
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Snee and grins
[Indigo (Lisa)] He doesn't know what everyone calls this place now
[Snezana (Spring)] the name has been lost
[Indigo (Lisa)] It's Hourglass now isn't it?
[Snezana (Spring)] which is interesting. as though someone had figured out the problem but not communicated it well
[barkeep (Master)] It was hard to communicate
[barkeep (Master)] we would write things on the wall
[barkeep (Master)] and they would disapear in the morning
[barkeep (Master)] we tried to carve it in but the wood just closed back up too
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's horrible
[barkeep (Master)] it would all be just like it was the first time that wizard ran in here with that hourglass
[Snezana (Spring)] i can't imagine
[barkeep (Master)] I guess I udnerstand why you would call it hourglass
[Indigo (Lisa)] Should we go back to the old name?
[barkeep (Master)] You said no one knows it
[barkeep (Master)] What about the people over in Hastilton Hill?
[Snezana (Spring)] um, i don't know that one
[barkeep (Master)] (http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.BattleOfHastiltonHill )
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's where the big magic battle was?
[Indigo (Lisa)] The place that's all burned up?
[barkeep (Master)] There was a big battle there yes, the same say this started
[barkeep (Master)] Oh, they all burned?
barkeep (Master) pauses, sad
[Indigo (Lisa)] Yeah think the mages went crazy on the fireballs or something
[barkeep (Master)] My parents were there
[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh. I'm sorry
[barkeep (Master)] was it quick?
[barkeep (Master)] they never came down this way or they would have stopped
[Indigo (Lisa)] We can take you there. I dunno. It happened before we were alive.
[barkeep (Master)] even if we were fighting they would have stopped
[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.
[barkeep (Master)] Oh right,
[barkeep (Master)] I am sorry I forget
[barkeep (Master)] It is hard to wrap my head around
[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm sorry too
[Indigo (Lisa)] Why did you call your inn the Lost Eagle?
[barkeep (Master)] That was the name
[barkeep (Master)] I bought it from a family that wanted to head west
[barkeep (Master)] There was a new settlement called Jarvis
[barkeep (Master)] they thought it was too crowded here
[barkeep (Master)] so I used all my inheritance to buy this
[Indigo (Lisa)] Jarvis is still there
[barkeep (Master)] My parents were not happy with me giving up on that
[barkeep (Master)] That is good
[Indigo (Lisa)] This is a nice place.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Did you used to live in the house outside there?
[barkeep (Master)] upstairs
[barkeep (Master)] That was the guest house for nobles
[barkeep (Master)] people who wanted a quiet place and could afford it
[barkeep (Master)] other times I had people stay there to keep it clean
[Indigo (Lisa)] We found some coins there. If Snee is okay with it we should give them to you so you can fix this place up again
barkeep (Master) looking around
[barkeep (Master)] What is wrong with it?
[Indigo (Lisa)] I broke your chair
[Indigo (Lisa)] The windows don't stay open
[barkeep (Master)] It will be fine in the morning.... well maybe not now?
[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.
[Indigo (Lisa)] Probably not
[barkeep (Master)] They always fixed themselves in the morning
[barkeep (Master)] It has been a long time
[Indigo (Lisa)] We didn't look around much
[Indigo (Lisa)] Think time is just going to go forward now
[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.
[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.
[Indigo (Lisa)] But we should probably clean up all that magic sand. Could be dangerous or something
[barkeep (Master)] Are you sure?
[barkeep (Master)] Do we want to touch it?
[barkeep (Master)] what happens if we get rid of it?
[barkeep (Master)] you seemed surprised to be here
[Indigo (Lisa)] Maybe we should wait for that mage to wake up first
[barkeep (Master)] The elves were talking abou tthe sun
[Indigo (Lisa)] He needs to explain how this all happened
[barkeep (Master)] why would that be important?
[barkeep (Master)] the sun I mean
[barkeep (Master)] I agree it is nice to see it again
[barkeep (Master)] it was always grey here
[barkeep (Master)] light but grey
[barkeep (Master)] you said there is a mist?
[barkeep (Master)] Does it go away during the day?
[Snezana (Spring)] i need to go, folks
[Indigo (Lisa)] No. It's right outside the gate
[barkeep (Master)] (have a great nigth Spring)
[Spring] gnite!!
Spring has left the game on Fri Jul 23 23:27:16 EDT 2021
[Indigo (Lisa)] (ok - thanks for saving the day!!)
[barkeep (Master)] What do you think will happen if we go out there?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Not sure. Raelynn sent the horse out. He seems fine
[barkeep (Master)] (or do you want to do that starting next week? Carissa? are you with us?)
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Carissa - how are you doing?)
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (sorry still here, just getting tired)
[Master] Do you want to send someone out into The Mist?
[Raelynn (Carissa)] (sure)
[Lisa] next week
[Master] or have Howard come into the courtyard?
[Master] Ok
[Master] that is good
[Master] think on the potentials then we can move forward quickly next week
[Carissa] I was hoping it was a simple, yep they go in and out fine
[Master] It might be
[Lisa] think we maybe should wait until the mage can explain the magic
[Carissa] since we already did have some come in from The Mist
[Master] plus you have magic sand on the floor of the Inn
[Carissa] Yeah that I don't know about
[Lisa] I know
[Carissa] Seems a bad idea to touch it
[Carissa] Sweep it under the rug call it done
[Master] several things to consider
[Master] LOL
[Master] put up a sign Do not clean room
[Lisa] it could be useful in small doses maybe
[Carissa] We do like making signs
[Lisa] watch your step
[Carissa] lol
[Master] lol
[Master] lol
[Carissa] I am curious if it can create more "sunny" spots. Could be fun to experiment with depending
[Master] have a great night
[Master] it was very good
[Lisa] yes
[Master] very surprising way to solve it
[Lisa] Goodnight!
[Carissa] Night!
