[Carissa] Why you keep sending your hurricanes up this way?

[Master] chuckles

[Carissa] Fred just left. Now we have Henri.

[Carissa] I mean it might cancel the horse shipment, and if so, then that's fine, but I didn't expect two storms in one week.

[Master] I have no control over horses

[Master] wink

[Carissa] lol

Lemon has joined the game on Fri Aug 20 19:13:41 EDT 2021

[Master] Welcome

[Carissa] Hi Lemon!

[Lemon] Hello!

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Aug 20 19:17:19 EDT 2021

[Carissa] Hi Lisa!

[Lisa] Hello! :)

[Lemon] Hi!

[Master] Hello

[Master] This is the group minus TMO

[Master] no word from Michael or anyone else

[Master] my question to the group to give you a sideways hint from the summary - when did the horse come into the Inn, then leave the Inn and return to the Inn

[Master] I suppose that should be WHEN

[Lemon] When or WHEN

[Lemon] lol

[Master] thank you Lemon

[Carissa] Trick question? Either it appeared with the sun, left to visit Howard when we were still in the sun, then returned. OR is it a hint to "when mage was mostly dead, when mage wasn't dead, when mage wasn't dead"?

Michael has joined the game on Fri Aug 20 19:23:28 EDT 2021

[Master] Welcome Michael!

[Lemon] Or is is specific numbers?

[Carissa] Hi Michael!

[Lisa] Hi Michael!

[Carissa] Specific numbers?

[Master] not specific numbers but time frames

[Lemon] like the year or whatever

[Michael] Hey guys. It's been a rough week please cut me just a little slack :(

[Michael] I'll do my best but...

Lisa cut cut cut

[Michael] TY

[Michael] :)

[Lisa] :)

[Master] Michael all you need to know is who was Queen in 245 in the 2nd alternative timeline

[Carissa] Horse was part of the original group trapped in the inn. Then it left when we came inside, then came inside when we were still there.

[Michael] oh my god

[Master] grins

[Lisa] lol

Lemon hands Michael just the slackest rope there ever was

[Michael] to hang myself with?

[Michael] Maybe I should play dead

[Lisa] lol

[Master] Carissa has one of those three pieces wrong

[Lemon] lol

[Carissa] It left when we were already inside not when we left

[Carissa] It can't be the first part wrong. We specifically looked for a horse at the start :P

[Lisa] it appeared when others appeared - horse got sent out and got called back by Raelynn

[Master] Both of those statements and Lisa's can be true or false

[Lisa] she sent it to Howard

[Master] Yes to Lisa

[Lisa] then bribed it back with apples

[Master] Yes

[Michael] (Also while our Characters don't know technically, we've had to roll some magic saves)

[Lisa] no one saw a horse until hourglass smashed and everyone else appeared

[Carissa] Only Brer first entering the Mist rolled and only horse re-entering the Mist had to roll

[Michael] Right

[Carissa] None of us did roll when we first entered the sun

[Michael] oh

[Michael] oops

[Michael] hm

[Carissa] Which I didn't know until the summary

[Carissa] And not sure if that's because it was minutes after we made Bob run off to think of what to do with us after not doing as he planned

[Michael] Shoot I知 sorry. So maybe it's a one way roll?

[Michael] Hey, it worked out and was pretty badass honestly

[Michael] :)

[Michael] Are we still questioning the mage?

[Michael] Or have you all done that

[Carissa] Definitely did. Just don't know if we should have rolled and that was just a slide or if that was purposeful letting us not roll

[Carissa] Yes

[Carissa] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.CSC-SUM

[Lemon] We definitely questioned him. Whether or not he provided any useful information is a different question

[Michael] Thank you Carissa. I'm doing that right now. Again, I知 really sorry

[Carissa] So...did we check the health papers on this horse? Was it the same horse? :P

[Lemon] afk a few

[Michael] (Sure hope so)

[Lisa] everyone who is inside was inside before the hourglass smashed except brer

[Michael] Talwin was not

[Carissa] I thought so, too but no. Only Snee and Rae

[Lisa] and he never went inside

[Michael] right

TMO has joined the game on Fri Aug 20 19:30:35 EDT 2021

[Master] There was not a roll for anyone/thing when they entered the Inn from The Mist except for one

[Lisa] because brer is so shiny?

[Lisa] Hi TMO! :)

[Carissa] [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?

[TMO] I be here

[Michael] Hi TMO :)

[Carissa] Hi TMO!

[Carissa] Because Brer isn't human?

[TMO] hey!

[Carissa] I don't know WHAT he is, but I don't believe him to be human :)

[TMO] divine taken mortal form maybe?

[Michael] Wat

[Lisa] he isn't as good as Indigo according to mage guy

[Carissa] Maybe, lol. I fear I'll never truly know, but not human. I stand by that.

[TMO] yeah, but who'd believe *him*?

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] Also roll for Brer AND horse. Is Brer a horse??

[Lisa] aha!

[Master] close Carissa

[Carissa] Is the horse a paladin??

[Master] they DO have something sort of in common

[Carissa] A long flowing mane and a love of apples?

[TMO] Ashka is actually the paladin, brer is just her puppet

[Carissa] Ah! Makes sense now!

[Michael] Well I知 interested in seeing how this plays out

[Michael] Damn your good bob

[Carissa] So TMO, why is Brer similar to a horse? I'm hoping for a good punchline.

[TMO] they're both a kind of Ass?

[Carissa] LOL

[Michael] lol

[Carissa] WOW okay that was an amazing punchline, thank you

[TMO] you're welcome

[Carissa] But in slightly more seriousness, I don't know what they have in common or what part I have wrong.

[Master] I will let TMO venture a guess

[TMO] in service to a higher being? *shrug*

[Carissa] But so are the priestesses

[Lisa] but if they are the only ones that have to roll saves that means we're all fine and who cares why Brer has to

[Lisa] :D

[Carissa] LOL true

[Master] There is that too

[Michael] /Carissa lol carissa "Jerkface"

[Master] I admit it is not an easy to see connection

[Carissa] (He is!! :) )

[Carissa] Wait wait

[Master] at least at this TIME it is not

[Lemon] ok back

[Carissa] Brer isn't human. So does the WHEN matter more to him and the horse than others (or other way around?)

[Michael] Oh dear god no

[TMO] well, if we're talking the normal horse, I have an idea. I was talking about Ashka

[Michael] I just can't

[Carissa] Time travel is harder for specific "things" than others?

[Carissa] What did Jerkface say about that...

[Michael] Is Ashka a goddess of Animals too?

[TMO] the normal horse and Brer are both in the wrong time bubble from where they're 'supposed' to be

[TMO] of course, they're not unique in this

[Carissa] [Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Inanimate objects are just constant [Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I am not quite sure of all the twists for animals

[Michael] Well, the horse and the Brer creature are quite animate

[TMO] clank clank

[Carissa] I feel like maybe I'm close, but I'll just conclude with Brer is an a twisted animal of some sort or something.

[Michael] unless the horse was magicked from a branch and Brer is a sword given a mortal body

[TMO (to Carissa only)] Master whoops, Michael's too close. Boot him out

[TMO] how very interesting

[Carissa (to TMO only)] lol!

[Lemon] Is it at all related to the fancy hammer spell? Is the horse made of the same magic as hammers and TMOs?

[TMO] I intentionally wrote a 'broken' private message to Bob, for the lulz, and it delivered it to Carissa only.

[TMO] Master whoops, Michael's too close. Boot him out

[Carissa] So it does have to do with what they are as living creatures/things?

[TMO] simple-minded easily distracted beings?

[Master] TMO had it right with the "wrong time bubble"

[Michael] Boot him out? LOL TMO

[Master] for Carissa is does have to do with WHEN they are living creatures

[Lemon] Is TMO undead?

[Michael] My mind is a pretzel

[Lemon] Are we feeding a zombie horse?

[TMO] oh, so everybody else was inside when the hourglass was shattered? I thought Talwin came in with Brer.

[Michael] at this point

[Michael] He did

[Michael] well, not entered

[Carissa] No

[Michael] he is at the perimeter

[Master] the question is when the Horse entered

[Carissa] Only Snee and Rae were inside when the hourglass shattered

[Lemon] when or WHEN?

[TMO] ah, forgot Tal was outside still with Craigh

[Carissa] Not long before Brer

[Master] The first time it came in? or when it re-entered after leaving

[Lemon] Wasn't someone yelling for a healing spell and Bixi and Raelynn were busy rolling around apples

[Carissa] Wait no

[Carissa] It re-entered after Brer

[TMO] when did Indigo enter?

[Carissa] Right after it shattered

[Lemon] Pretzels sound good

[Carissa] Snee and Rae were nearby when it shattered. Then sunlight drew in N値aea and Indigo

[TMO] we need an animation specialist to give us storyboards of every episode so we can rewatch everything

[Lemon] Yessss

[Lemon] Time for Carissa to get another hobby

[Carissa] I debated doing something like that once, but I DO have a life :)

[Lemon] Your life is horses, both IRL and here

[TMO] I don't, but I already have 3 hobbies, too many to keep all active at once

[TMO] unless someone wants to fund my lifestyle so I can quit my job and stay home all day

[Carissa] Okay so horse. Hourglass shatters. Horse appeared right next to Raelynn. Before going into the Inn, she sends it out to Howard. Brer and crew appear and see Howard with horse. Rae comes back out to search guesthouse. She calls horse back in. Roll save spell.

[Carissa] Dang horses

[Carissa] Two more weekends and they're done

[Lisa] that sounds ominous

[Lemon] My memory and deductive reasoning are garbage at this point in the week. Or is it inductive reasoning? Maybe just reasoning in general?

[Lemon] Anyway, my point is, I'm going to let the smart people figure this out, and I'm going to work on my own problem of whether to get popcorn or ice cream

[TMO] popcorn in ice cream

[Michael] Popcorn

[Carissa] lol to Lisa

[TMO] 'horse appeared next to Raelynn'?

[Carissa] Apparently I'm missing something and I'm not sure what it is

[Carissa] [Master] Raelynn has a horse next to her suddenly Raelynn (Carissa) also gasps [Raelynn (Carissa)] Horse!

[TMO] as in 'walked there' or 'appeared out of nowhere'?

[TMO] appeared out of nowhere

[TMO] so horse is from 180, left bubble, came back to bubble.

[TMO] Brer is from 350, entered bubble

[Carissa] Horse is technically Susan's, I believe

[TMO] who else entered bubble from outside in the Mist?

[Carissa] Indigo, N'laea

[TMO] did they both have to save?

[Carissa] Bixi

[Carissa] No

[Carissa] Only Brer and when the horse re-entered the sunlight

[TMO] really? hmm, there goes my theories

[Master] TMO has the flaw

[TMO] dude. I have SO MANY flaws

[Master] and Carissa is starting to solve it

[Lemon] lol

[Carissa] I am? I'm just repeating what happened....

[Master] IS the horse from 180? Who said it was Susan's horse?

[Carissa] I mean...

[Carissa] (hold on I need more tabs)

[Master] grins

[Lemon] When is Susan from?

[TMO] she's dropping acid now

[TMO] look what you've driven her to

[Master] Susan is from 180

[Carissa] (Pylon - Susan's horse)

[Master] She had a horse when she entered the Inn

[Carissa] Icon saw Pylon, too, so I'm gonna assume it's hers according to the icon and your page of people :P

[Carissa] Hmm

[Carissa] As it is wasn't actually inside with the hourglass

[Master] That is why I bring it up to say it is a flaw in the thinking

[Master] the assumption on your side is the horse is the same horse from 180

[Carissa] And this is why we have you mark EVERY mark on your health papers for horses!

[Lemon] Susan has more than one horse?

[Lemon] Is TMO the other horse?

[Master] TMO is not a horse, I have seen him on camera

[Master] and in person

[Carissa] I dunno, he's pretty tall like a horse

[Master] half a centaur

[Lemon] lol

[Carissa] Ah, fair

[TMO] had the other half surgically removed

[Carissa] Now it all makes sense

[Lemon] Carissa, will it help your horse babysitting agony if you think of them as half-centaurs?

[Carissa] The horses aren't actually bad. Most are nice, some are bitey. It's the people bringing them over.

[TMO] Centaurtaur -

[Carissa] Although if the horses wouldn't keep winning their races they wouldn't come over so partly their fault, too...

[Master] so to sum up for everyone - horse from an unknown time appears when you bring the sun back, that horse leaves in to The Mist and then returns, but needs a save,

[Lemon] Why WOULDN'T it be the same horse from 180?

[Master] so the horse and Brer both have traveled from The Mist to the sun

[Master] for Lemon there are many people who came to the Inn over the years,

[Carissa] Tinlin was one of them from who knows when

[Master] only a handful of them came back when you broke the hourglass

[Lemon] But aren't all the ones who are in there now from the same time? Like not EVERYONE appeared

[Carissa] But he stayed because he turned the hourglass over

[Master] Yes to Carissa

[Master] and how did Tinlin get here

[Carissa] Is it by horse?

[Master] BINGO

[Carissa] He should name it something different.

[TMO] but indigo and the others have also come from the mist

[Carissa] Yes this is my confusion

[TMO] why is Brer unique from them?

[Master] Yes they have

[Lemon] When is Tinlin from? We don't know?

[Master] you do not know when

[TMO] who is Tinlin?

[Carissa] Local farmer who wandered in

[Master] and only the horse has gone from sunlight to Mist and back

[TMO] so is Tinlin from a different local time?

[Carissa] But most everyone of our characters went from Mist to Sunlight, including Brer, but only Brer had a roll

[Lisa] because Brer is older than the Mist being an ancient guy?

[TMO] not 180, but say 220?

[Lisa] mist is 50 years old

[Carissa] Possibly for Tinlin

[TMO] Mist here is 50. Mist itself has been around for a long time, I think.

[Lisa] was brer born in the mist?

[TMO] hold on, lemme look it up

[Lisa] just a guess

[Carissa] Gerry knew Tinlin so guessing he's not that far into the future

[Lisa] bob didn't say anything so likely wrong

[Carissa] Or whatever

[Master] Mist is 50 years old HERE in the Craniate Wastes

[Lisa] he knew tinlin or knows tinlin after spending so much time together?

[Lemon] In 180 the mist isn't born yet?

[Carissa] Knew

[Master] correct to Lemon

[Carissa] Farmer #1 (Master) muttering where did Gerry get to? He should be wanting to take a coin for some ale

[Master] yes to Carissa

[Carissa] [barkeep (Master)] Tinlin! Tinlin! I am right here!

[Master] THIS is why I want to keep these chat archives

[TMO] oh, the Mist is not as old as I thought

[TMO] 248

[TMO] Brer has stated IC to Rae that he didn't think he'd reached 100 yet.

[TMO] no one else was there at the time, but it was still stated and is in the logs.

[Lemon] Brer doesn't know how old he is?

[TMO] well, at the time he wasn't sure what year it was

[Carissa] Was that to Rae? I was thinking it was Thistle. I vaguely remember this, though.

[Lemon] Why?

[TMO] they blend together when you aren't keeping track

[Master] right now in the Inn you have two sets of people, one from the past and one from the present, which is in which groups depends on your perspective

[Master] present/future

[Master] keeping with Carissa's animal testing series

[TMO] find some squirrels, throw them back and forth across the border

[Carissa] There are some rats...

[Master] you know that the horse was from the "past" and went into the "current" as in The Mist

[Master] and then that horse came back to the past/current/sunlight

[TMO] the conversation was with the elf, Carissa, because she's older than he is

[Master] no one from the current/Mist has gone back from current/Sunlight into current/Mist

[Carissa] (N値aea, Rae isn't that old)

[Carissa] (but yeah I better vaguely remember that now)

[Lemon] So who wants to be the guinea pig?

[Master] there are also people here (those from Carnak as an example) that are from the past who want to leave

[TMO] Brer was the pig coming in, he can be it going out too.

[TMO] although he has better saves than most

[Carissa] I still don't understand why he had to save to go into the sun, but N値aea/Indigo/Bixi did not

[TMO] me neither

[Master (to TMO only)] Brer could guess it has to do with time, as he is the second oldest person here from the "present"

[Master (to TMO only)] and the mage did rant about elves.....

[TMO (to Master only)] he's definitely not old enough to have been alive in 180 though.. ;)

[Master] you can also continue to ask question of the mage

[Master (to TMO only)] this is true

[Master] Obviously a puzzle to solve and to discover what the ramifications of it are

[TMO (to Master only)] but N値aea, the one older than him, did not have to save and is an elf

[Master] Yes to TMO

[Master] back to testing and questions

[Carissa] My brain is currently to fried to think of questions for the mage, but I will offer Rae has Zone of Truth if anyone wants to question him more

[TMO] and also, to be fair, IC the characters don't know there's a danger. Everyone who's rolled has succeeded.

[TMO] so they're just operating out of paranoid caution

[Master] so the next step of testing is?

[Carissa] True

[TMO] we know there's a save, but it's meta knowledge only

[Lisa] why was Brer tossing a die behind him when he passed the gate?

[Carissa] But the future question/answers give them no reason to suspect otherwise, either

[Master] smiles at Lisa

[Lisa] we're just going to have to do it and see what happens when/if someone fails

[Carissa] Paladin superstitious nonsense :)

[Lisa] send the Carnak people out first

[Carissa] Well the Carnak people want to leave so

[Lemon] Should we ask some of the other people at the inn questions? Who else is there?

[Carissa] Exactly

[Carissa] We do need to ask Gerry/Susan about the scroll

[Lisa] we could get the monocle to identify the ring

[Carissa] Also that

[Master] brb refilling and emptying

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[TMO] I'm trying to find what isa is referring to

[TMO] one sec

[Carissa] We may or may not be able to kill him, but we can at least make his self-imposed jail more uncomfortable by taking his stuff

[Lemon] Plus don't we have to clean up the dust?

[Lisa] mage was gathering it

[Lemon] Didn't we stop him?

[Lisa] haven't put it into anything yet I don't think

[Carissa] I think we were in agreement to leave it there to be safe, but keep it hidden somewhere?

[Lisa] have to clean it up some time

[TMO] yes

[Carissa] Can we hide it somewhere without jerkface looking? He may find it easier, but I would like to try to keep it from his reach

[Lisa] he can't do anything with it

[Lisa] unless you build him the demon spa forge

[Lisa] and get angel's breath to blow the glass

[Carissa] Yes is what he said. I have no idea if he could find a new way to make it or not. He's going to have, what, 200+ years to sit there and think and study? But I'm don't know mage stuff really :)

[Lisa] well he is saying we/he/anyone could make the place disappear if sand is removed

[Lisa] study what? he has no books

[Lisa] sorry - he is in hell right now

[Carissa] Very true. I'm more wondering if people come to visit, though, and he makes friends, deals, etc..

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lemon] But people can still come in, obviously. He might find a way to get someone to bring stuff?

[Lisa] we can do a search of the inn before we go and make sure no one has any useful books lying around

[Carissa] Yes to that, but if this becomes a visitor hotpot?

[TMO] Bran could take him to Hell with her. :)

[Carissa] lol

[Lisa] the more the merrier

[Lemon] Can we just have the horse drag him out into the mist and see what happens?

[Lisa] here's the deal - mages learn spells either from scrolls/books or research meaning they need access to a library

[Lisa] so to learn a spell someone would have to get a scroll made and bring it to him

[Master] SO two options right now, Tell someone to go out into The Mist or Talk to someone here ask questions and try to get more clues before Telling someone to go out into The Mist

[Lisa] that costs and I don't think he has money

[Lisa] he isn't exactly the type of guy you want to do favors for

[Lisa] also spell components

[Master] Lisa has the point on mages needing materials

[Carissa] Thank you. That's the info I needed.

[Carissa] I did not know how easy or hard it may be for him

[Lemon] So when we send someone out into the mist... does it need to be from our time or anyone? What haven't we tested yet?

[Lisa] eventually he could probably get something

[Michael] (Also sounds like a PITA to remake the HourGlass)

[Lisa] enchant an item is a 6th level spell

[Master] You have only tested the Horse from an unknown but likely old time going out into The Mist and then returning

[Lisa] can look up create magic item but these are high level spells

[Master] and to be able to cast those spells Lisa can tell what the minimum level this mage is

[Lemon] So more animal testing is unlikely to help, since the rats are probably also from the old time?

[Master] Yes a good thought Lemon

[Lemon] So we think the mage has any info about all the other people who disappeared and how to get them back?

[Lemon] should have been "do we"

[Master] the mage was mostly dead for the entire time

[Master] so would not know who was here

[Lemon] Sure but he created the problem, right?

[Master] It is his item he created yes

[Master] but the problem came about because he was stabbed while trying to use the item

[Lemon] oh. hmm

[Master] Michael any thoughts on picking guinea pigs?

[Master] or test subjects?

[Master] SO two options right now, Tell someone to go out into The Mist or Talk to someone here ask questions and try to get more clues before Telling someone to go out into The Mist

[Michael] I'm thinking sorry

[Master] no worries

[Michael] I mean, Talwin has really crappy saves. I could try to enter and leave, but probably not going to survive the exit back into the mist

[Lisa] well we have to leave

[Michael] As for test subjects

[Michael] ...

[Lisa] so Indigo can leave and test

[Michael] One sec

[Michael] Is anyone a priest here?

[TMO] Brer is also willing

[Lisa] it's not like if you say it's 50-50 that he'll stay at the inn for the rest of his life

[Michael] I remember a couple test spells that might help

[Michael] Does anyone have the spell dimension door?

[Lisa] Howard

[Lisa] but he is outside

[Michael] hm

[Michael] How about Time bubble?

[Michael] oh sorry, wrong game

[Lisa] I don't think we should risk the outside people when the inside people are already at risk

[Michael] duh

[Carissa] (brb)

[Carissa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Michael] Then I知 afraid I cannot think of anything I apologize

[TMO] agreed

[Lisa] no it's good

[Lisa] we are kind of paranoid perhaps the priests can bless?

[Master] Lemon that is you

[Lisa] mage told us we all need to stay here so IC we do have a sense of danger

[TMO] I figure when we're ready to go, we'll just walk out. :)

[TMO] do we want to verbally abuse the guy any more?

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Carissa] (quick thought while I get a piece of cake: except for maybe Brer, no humans have entered the sunlight area from outside)

[Carissa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] correct

[Master] actually wrong

[Master] Johan

[Lemon] I am jealous of that cake

[Lemon] I want cake

[Lemon] Do we think anyone else at the inn would have any useful information? Or did they all just get stuck there?

[Lisa] so goals IC if I have this right

[Lisa] ask if anyone has mage scroll

[Lisa] get monocle

[Lisa] clean up sand?

[Lisa] see if anyone wants to try and leave

[Master] Your current understanding is that the group from Carnak (Ergel etc.) and the group from Bolpel (Sunan etc.) and Gerry were here the mage bursts in was stabbed and the effect of the hourglass happens

[Lisa] then cross the gate

[Master] at some point after that Tinlin and horse enter

[TMO] agree with Lisa's plan

[Master] at some point after that many different people enter

[Master] at some point in the NOW your group enters, and breaks the hourglass

[Master] changing the dynamic of the Inn

[Master] and yes to Lisa's plan

[Lemon] So this isn't the kind of game where it's helpful to look in all the rooms in the inn and see if you can find secret loot in barrels?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[TMO] never hurts, I suppose. ;)

[Master] Yes it is sometimes helpful Lemon, but the problem with this puzzle is the WHEN would that loot be

[Master] and who would it belong to?

[Master] you do have coins

[TMO] it's only a problem if we think about it

[Lemon] I mean, finders keepers

[Indigo (Lisa)] (it is Gerry痴 inn)

[Lemon] It's a pretty basic rule

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lemon] Yeah but all his guests are somewhen else

[Carissa] (pffft Johan)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (if we killed Gerry then we take all the loot)

[TMO] shame on Indigo!

[Lemon] Or we could just ask and share?

[Carissa] (also there is maybe some gold in that guesthouse, but Snee or someone more observant needs to find it)

[Master] See why people hate him!

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but we don't do that)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (was just saying!)

[Carissa] (he is un-hatable)

[Master] grins

[Carissa] (maybe the other people will show up WHEN it reaches their time?)

[Michael] Hm. I could see that happening Carissa

[Indigo (Lisa)] (that would be crazy)

[Michael] ...

[Lemon] Like maybe Gerry doesn't give a crap about extra magic swords or whatever, but we can give him the money and keep all the stuff he doesn't care about

[Carissa] (if we can wait for a coal fire to die down, we can wait to see if they show up, right? ;) )

[Lemon] Like it's fine if this is a pointless side quest and we don't want to do it, I'm just trying to work out how things generally go

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I have no problem searching the inn)

[Carissa] (agree)

[Master] no side quests are fully pointless,

[Michael] that wasn't sarcasm right?

[Master] nope

[Michael] oh good

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo can pick up sand while people search

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) NO bats at Indigo's approach

[Michael] Okay Lisa, but you have to do it army style, with a pair of small pincers one grain at a time :)

[Lemon] I'm just trying to figure general gameplay out, lol. I'm the kind of person who looks in every barrel, but I don't know if that kind of searching is useful in this game or not

[Indigo (Lisa)] You can't pick up all the sand by yourself

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] You are not going to take this anywhere

[Indigo (Lisa)] It'll take forever

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I am not going to pick up anything now

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] all I need is a chance to recover

[Indigo (Lisa)] I want to take it off the floor

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] then I can do it all

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] no

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] you cannot get all of it

[Carissa] (also it's funfetti mug cake; sugar hasn't agreed with me lately but Bob has driven me to sugar overload)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do what all?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] the sand

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I am going to make sure it does not spread

[Indigo (Lisa)] I was just trying to help

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] that I do not lose any of it

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] You were trying to steal it from me

[N'laea (Carissa)] Why would it be bad to spread it?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I'm considering buying myself a congrats cake next weekend)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you want someone else to help you?

[N'laea (Carissa)] It'll be easier for others not to steal it if it's spread out.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] No

[N'laea (Carissa)] (do it)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I want to rest and recover

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] then I will be able to take care of it

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Take care of it how?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I wasn't going to steal it. You said it would be dangerous and I believe you

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Good

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] When you become a more experienced .... well Mages have skills, that Illusionists often do not

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] We work with the real world

[N'laea (Carissa)] What skill does it take to touch sand?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Hey, how does this guy know that!?)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] (gnomes can only be Illusionists, they cannot be mages)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Yeah but doesn't everyone only think I'm a priest right now?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (wait, isn't he a gnome? what is Orthin?)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] (He is a human)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (huh this whole time....)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] It is not the skill to touch the sand but to contain it and keep it all together

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Also, did the NPC get a custom picture before I did?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay do the sand all by yourself then

[N'laea (Carissa)] If you put it all together, it'll be easier for someone to grab it and leave with it. If you spread it out, then this area has a better chance of not being displaced, yes?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Or if you spread it out it can more likely be spread too thin to continue to work and everything collapses

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I am not sure

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] this was not supposed to happen

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] What happens if everything collapses?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] so we keep it all together until we can learn more

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I do not know what happens, that is the problem

[N'laea (Carissa)] How do you plan to learn more?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] have any of you gone out there?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not yet. We've been talking to you

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) looks over at Mig

[N'laea (Carissa)] Bixi says the horse came back in

[N'laea (Carissa)] From going out

[Michael] Hey guys, I知 so sorry, but I知 actually dozing off. Is there anything I can do to help before I head out?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I will pay you 2 gold if you go walk outside of the gate and bring me back a branch from a bush with a flower on it

[Michael] (2 Gold? Really?)

[Mig (Master)] What would I do with gold?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Gold? No one searched him?

[Michael] (Oh someone else, not us)

N'laea (Carissa) nods towards Gerry, "You said he was searched."

[Mig (Master)] Searched who?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] I did they searched him, gestures at the group from the past

[Michael (to TMO only)] Night bud :) IF you need anything shoot me a message on discord. It will alert me Glad to see you tonight.

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) sigh

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Maybe he has a pocket in his undergarments

Indigo (Lisa) looks at Brer "Think we need to search him again"

Michael has left the game on Fri Aug 20 20:59:56 EDT 2021

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Someone here must have some coins

[TMO] (I need to run a quick store run for wife - will be back shortly, since this RP isn't with me in it)

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Indigo (Lisa)] You can't order people to pay for stuff for you

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lmao after looking at Brer)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Have you tried asking nicely?

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) looks at N'laea

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Fine, N'laea I am broke, could you please go out into The Mist and bring me back a branch of a bush with a flower on it?

Indigo (Lisa) looks at the group "Did you search the mage? Anyone find a scroll or parchment?"

N'laea (Carissa) smiles, "No."

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] See

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol dude's been terrible to us and thinks we're just going to pay for his random errands?)

Indigo (Lisa) tries to keep from laughing

[N'laea (Carissa)] (yep)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Did that help at all?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] But lying to the barbarian to get him to go do it might have accomplished the task

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] if you had not interrupted

[N'laea (Carissa)] You give me no reason to want to help you.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I wanted him to do it!

[N'laea (Carissa)] Why not go grab an apple branch by yourself?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Maybe you should share your information with us before asking us to do you favors or spend gold for you?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Why put your own finger into the fire when someone else can do it instead?

[Indigo (Lisa)] We need your monocle too please

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) looks at Indigo

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Why

[N'laea (Carissa)] You have no need for it.

[Indigo (Lisa)] So Bixi can look at your ring

[Indigo (Lisa)] If the ring protects you from bullywugs I'll give it back to you

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Do you swear as a Knight that you will return the monocle and ring back to me?

[Indigo (Lisa)] But if it has all your spell books in it, I can't do that

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can promise the monocle but not the ring until we check it

[Indigo (Lisa)] The monocle won't hurt anyone

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] (he is thinking)

[N'laea (Carissa)] What recourse does he have if you do not return it? It is not like he can leave here.

[Indigo (Lisa)] You would have to tell us the command word too

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Indigo would know that he broke his promise as Knight

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] that is the recourse

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (He's a knight AND an admiral?)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Tell me how you know that I cannot leave here?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] what have you determined on what effects are here?

[Indigo (Lisa)] You said you wouldn't

[N'laea (Carissa)] You're too scare to leave the inn for one.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] You can't even get your own branch

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) nods to Indigo, I said I would not, but she said I cannot

[Indigo (Lisa)] Because if you leave and enter 350 you die in 12 years

[N'laea (Carissa)] Or sooner.

[Indigo (Lisa)] If you stay here you live forever maybe

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) hands over the monocle to Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thank you.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (ngl, with that attitude he has, it might be sooner)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I mean it was implied, lol)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Bixi, can you take these and tell us what the ring does please?

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol, I wasn't sure if that was what you meant)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Othrinmadrigal probably needs to tell you the command word

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) smiles

[Indigo (Lisa)] Branwyn says magic things need words

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol yes, someone tell me how I can do this)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] OH, did you want to ask nicely what that word was? smiles at Bixi and N'laea

[Indigo (Lisa)] (wear monocle and look at ring and concentrate and see if you do really need a word or if it will just work)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (So it

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Hit enter too soon. So it's all just RP? I don't need a spell or anything?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (not with a magic item)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Do I know whether or not it needs a word?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (you'll find out if you use it and it doesn't work)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Well, I'm willing to give it a try

[Master] what do you do?

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) takes the ring and monocle and puts the monocle on and concentrates on the ring

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (yes?)

[Master] Bixi concentrates, squints, and nothing

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Nothing

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I guess we do need the word

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) looks at Indigo

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] He seems to like you the most

Indigo (Lisa) looks at Orthinmadrigal

Johan the Apprentice (Master) coughs

Indigo (Lisa) laughs "He hates me!"

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Well, maybe respect

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hi Johan

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] What is the advantage of having a magic item that just does a first level spell?

[N'laea (Carissa)] I believe he hates all but himself.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I do not know that spell

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] but Branwyn has cast it many times

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) nods at N'laea

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] (Bixi has that spell and can describe to Indigo and Johan and the group what it entails) (good to make sure you really know your spells)

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't know what you're talking about Johan

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (umm... what?)

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I understand Indigo, I was asking the other mage, I believe she said she knows that spell?

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I didn't think we added Identify?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (unless that was when I wasn't helping)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (Identify is 3rd lvl)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (illusion?)

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] (no 1st level)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (only spells Bixi and Branwyn share are read magic and spook)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (detect magic?)

[Master] Ok sorry I mis-remembered, I thought Bixi had Identify

[Master] Johan does not

[Master] has only seen Branwyn cast it

[Master] sorry Lemon was using it as a roleplay/teaching moment about how the spell works

[Indigo (Lisa)] (oh wait identify is 1st level? all that craziness is in a 1st lvl spell???)

[Master] grins yeap

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but how much you can identify is dependent on level)

[Master] yes

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Oh, ok... I'm still confused lol)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (you don't have that spell)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (bran can get 12 rolls off 1 spell)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (niceee)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but that is what the monocle does - not sure what the point is here)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (ohhhhhh!)

[Master] quick summary, you purify items, you cast spell to look at them and learn about them then you are wiped out minus 8 to con afterwards

[Indigo (Lisa)] (you cast identify on the monocle to get it to work?)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I need a family tree style drawing for all these characters lol)

[Master] and there you go Lisa sees the lightbulb

[Master] no to Lisa

[Indigo (Lisa)] (and don't have to pay to 100 gold and meditate for 8 hours and lose con for a day??)

[Master] so if the monocle is a magic item that allows you to .... grins there you go, that is the right path to think about

[N'laea (Carissa)] (he's not getting it back, is he? :) )

[Master] and if your con is a 7 and you lose 8 points......

[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay. If you don't have a command word then I'll have to take the ring to Branwyn

[Master] (is that to ?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] She can cast identify without your monocle

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] You promised to return it to me

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] She is welcome to come here to borrow it

[Indigo (Lisa)] Give it back Bixi. It's stupid

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] but I would like it back please

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) gives the monocle and ring back to Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh I think if it's safe to cross you will be seeing Branwyn

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thanks for trying Bixi

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) shrugs

Indigo (Lisa) keeps ring and gives back monocle

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Happy to help

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Thank you

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] When will I get my ring back?

[Indigo (Lisa)] After Branwyn identifies it and makes a decision on whether you will hurt people with it

[Indigo (Lisa)] So where's your scroll?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Which scroll?

[N'laea (Carissa)] The one you were looking for specifically.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (delivery! have boxes at the door)

[TMO] (boxes! boxes! boxes!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (he said his spells were connected to his ring and a scroll or something like that)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (new measuring cup enclosed :) )

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Do you have more than one?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] (nice)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (woohoo!)

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I have/had/will have many scrolls

[N'laea (Carissa)] You were looking for a specific one only moments ago.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] But like, currently, right now, whenever we are, that you could access?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] This one in particular that I am wondering where it went is for a spell

[N'laea (Carissa)] Which spell?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] It is a healing potion

[N'laea (Carissa)] You could ask one of the priests, but I do not believe you could use it now anyways.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Yet it would be mine and it would be good to have it

[N'laea (Carissa)] Ah, I'm sure. It is too bad we don't know where it is nor that I believe that to be all it is.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] You insist on taking my things

[N'laea (Carissa)] And you insist on meddling in time.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Sadly that is not possible anymore

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] And being mean for no reason

[N'laea (Carissa)] Taking your things only affects you.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I am curious about what is out there

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] and WHEN is out there

N'laea (Carissa) gestures towards the door for him to look out

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) looks at Mig

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Did you want to earn that gold?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Someone has to be brave and test

Mig (Master) grunts

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) rolls her eyes

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

Mig (Master) glances over at Ergel who is quietly talking with Susan

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (he either thinks that dude is dying, or thinks we're going to give him two gold)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so did you want to search the inn or should we just do the cross the gate tests?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (and no scroll?)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Someone will be brave and test the crossing

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] One of the warriors of Carnak?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] The Queen hired them for a reason

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (You know better than I do whether that's worthwhile or not, I'm ok with whatever)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (may as well search it)

[Indigo (Lisa)] We're going to test it in a bit

[Indigo (Lisa)] I told you we can't stay here

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] If you are going to be the one to test I would ask that you return my ring to me first

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Or we can't stay NOW? THEN?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can stay here if you want to search

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I would hate to lose it if your test goes wrong

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] What are you going to search for?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I *would* like to look around a bit. I've never been to a ghost inn before

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can't do that. I told you I have to take the ring to Branwyn

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] If you are searching for things to return to Gerry, he might appreciate that

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm sure N'laea and Brer would help you

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Gerry, have you lost anything?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (searching doesn't necessarily mean looting, Mr. Mage.)

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] Not that I know of

N'laea (Carissa) stands up and stretches, "I could certainly use a break from this one."

[Master] Ok so Bixi and N'laea go off looking through the rooms of the inn

[Master] are you searching for anything in particular?

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[N'laea (Carissa)] (not like she'll find it)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I dunno, is it worth looking for and talking to the rats?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea: Tracking check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Master] just to be clear you are off to search through people's rooms, who are standing right there, listening to you say you are going to go search

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[TMO] yes, but they're just NPCs - they only react when we click their icon

[Master] lol

[TMO] ;)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (is that their rooms now? I thought they got trapped not long after arriving here :P)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Surely not ALL the rooms are occupied?)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Yeah, it resets every day, so it's not their room anymore in the morning)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (N'laea is just keeping company, looking for anything weird, maybe the rats, and making sure Bixi doesn't get lost)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (dunno what Bixi wants to look for/do)

[Master] we are at mid day now

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (So they've checked in?)

[Master] you entered in the morning, and have spent a few hours here working on this

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Did they enjoy a continental breakfast? Because if so, I want a bagel)

[Master] grins

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Bixi is just curious. Not necessarily looking for loot, she just wants ghost inn setting information for the book she's working on about a time traveling half-ghost)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (She just wants to LOOK at everyone's stuff, not necessarily steal it. But if it looks important, she will probably report it to Indigo)

[Master] The Inn is very well preserved, very old fashioned

[Master] most of the rooms look lived in

[TMO] multiple times

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[TMO] actually, has it been mentioned how many times they looped? And do they remember every single loop?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (no dust?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (at least if it resets you don't need a maid)

[Master] none of the people here had planned on being here except Gerry

[TMO] and if so, why aren't they all insane?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol!)

[Master] points to TMO's ideas

[Indigo (Lisa)] (maybe that's why they don't say much)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Are any of the rooms padded?)

[Master] hah no

[Master] but eventually you have to get to the testing

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (So nothing particularly exciting about the rooms?)

TMO puts the rubber gloves on Brer

[Master] sadly for Bixi it is old fashioned but un interesting

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I thought a ghost inn would have more... I don't know, ghost things.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] /looks at N'laea for reassurance

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (dang, that "me")

N'laea (Carissa) shrugs

[N'laea (Carissa)] Is it still a ghost inn?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Can ghost inns stop being ghost inns?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Hmmm

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Did we cure it?

N'laea (Carissa) small smile, "You are the ghost expert, are you not?"

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Oh gosh, no, if I was an expert I wouldn't need to be here gathering information

[N'laea (Carissa)] Well, you seem to have more ideas about ghost than I do.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Well, I suppose I'm ready to go whenever everyone else is. I need to get somewhere quiet and get my notes together

N'laea (Carissa) nods and follows

[Indigo (Lisa)] Find anything strange?

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) clearly disappointed "No, it just looks like a regular inn"

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Just... old

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm sorry

[Indigo (Lisa)] Thanks for all the ale and information Gerry. I'll back back tomorrow like I said

[Indigo (Lisa)] We're going to go now I think

N'laea (Carissa) walks closer to Gerry, "Did you say you found a scroll earlier?"

[N'laea (Carissa)] (keeping voice low)

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) considers asking Gerry if he wants to build on a ballroom to have ghost parties, but decides against it

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] No

[N'laea (Carissa)] Ah, I misheard. I thought you had search the mage before he came back to life.

Indigo (Lisa) looks at others "If you want to come out with us you can. Remember outside it is the year 350 and not where you came from."

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] There were some papers, Susan has those

[Indigo (Lisa)] Not sure what's going to happen

[N'laea (Carissa)] Papers?

N'laea (Carissa) walks over to Susan, "You found some papers?"

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I did

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I would like to keep them though

[Susan Delgado (Master)] until we know what is going to happen

N'laea (Carissa) nods

[N'laea (Carissa)] I am fine with that. Just do not give them back to their owner, please.

[Susan Delgado (Master)] You said it is 350 out there

[N'laea (Carissa)] It is.

[Susan Delgado (Master)] but if we go back to my time

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I might need these

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Gerry, it was very nice to meet you

[N'laea (Carissa)] (actually N値aea wouldn't say please, would she? Hmm...)

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) opens notebook

[N'laea (Carissa)] Ah, a good point. I do not know when you'll go back.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Gerry... do you think you have been cured of being a ghost?

[N'laea (Carissa)] Only one way to find out?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] I do not feel like a ghost, but I never did

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] I think the only way to know for certain

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] is to see what happens when I wake up here

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I hope to come back one day and see how it's going!

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) writes down "Ghosts don't know they're ghosts!"

Indigo (Lisa) walks outside near the gate

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 55'07".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 5'00".

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 60'05".

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hi Raelynn. We're almost ready to go

[N'laea (Carissa)] Anyone else coming?

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) follows Indigo

N'laea (Carissa) starts walking towards the front door

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hi Indigo!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Are we waiting for anything?

[Indigo (Lisa)] How's the horse?

Brer Necholas (TMO) is standing under a tree, sword in both hands, meditating/praying.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Very friendly!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Just waiting to see if the old time people want to come too but other than that I guess not

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 15'10".

[Master] Mig moved 85'05".

[Mig (Master)] I should go first

[Indigo (Lisa)] Howard and Craigh are on the other side and they are friends

[Indigo (Lisa)] Good luck!

[Master] Does Rae have animal handling? or any craft type skills?

[N'laea (Carissa)] (no animal handling, yes to art?)

[Master] That is good enough

[Master] make that check

[N'laea (Carissa)] Raelynn: Artistic Ability check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 15!!

[Master (to Carissa only)] Rae suddenly realizes that this horse is wearing tack, and it looks new and current/modern

[Raelynn (Carissa)] OH!

[Master] and now an Intuition check please

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: INU check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Master (to Carissa only)] there was tack in the stable, that fit the time frame of the Inn

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Ummm...

[Mig (Master)] Someone owes me the gold

[Master] Mig moved 13'09".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Horsey, when did you update the tack you were wearing?

[Mig (Master)] He walks through the gate and disappears

[Indigo (Lisa)] Mig!!

[Master (to Lisa only)] Howard saw him walk into The Mist and then as he entered just disappeared/dissolved

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (When was mig from?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (187)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Did he...disappear? Is he going to try to come back?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Are we stuck here?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] He appeared and then just ... vanished!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmmm

[Indigo (Lisa)] That means if Orthinmadrigal steps through he would go WHEN?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I think 187

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Maybe? But how do we know for certain?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Craigh, are you good at catching?

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) quietly "Maybe he turned into a ghost"

[Craigh (TMO)] Uhh... maybe?

[Craigh (TMO)] What are you throwing at me?

[Craigh (TMO)] And why?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Should I toss the ring out first before me?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I have a ring from some time between 136 and 362

[Craigh (TMO)] The apple came to us on this side

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Didn't he say inanimate objects are constant?)

[Craigh (TMO)] I guess the ring would too?

[Master (to Lisa only)] Howard would know that when a mage turns invisible or changes things on him convert with him, but objects left aside do not change

[Indigo (Lisa)] Or maybe I should throw it and then you could pick it up if if it stays in this time

[Raelynn (Carissa)] But if it's not, we don't want Indigo pulled into the past!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We have to pass through, no matter when it takes us.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We can't change what will happen.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Either we get back to our time, or we don't

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If I don't come back to your time, please let the Order know what happened to me.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Would you like me to carry the ring, Indigo?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Magic items will convert with the wearer and not control the wearer

[Indigo (Lisa)] Do you want to?

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs.

Indigo (Lisa) holds out ring

Brer Necholas (TMO) takes it.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno if it makes a difference

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 11'00".

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Me too.

Brer Necholas (TMO) walks back out the gate into the Mist

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 10'01".

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Brer!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Still here.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Was it dangerous?

Brer Necholas (TMO) holds the ring out in the palm of his hand.

[Master] Brer needs a health check

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas: HEL check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Master] So he is feeling weak and unstable

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Why is Brer even at -20 right now?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I feel... tired.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (purple worm thing?)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol think so)

[Master (to Lisa only)] Howard knows that is from entering The Mist

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (or dragon)

[Master (to TMO only)] Brer would know it is from entering The Mist

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Ah..

Brer Necholas (TMO) chuckles.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Brer, you should sit. You may have Mist sickness

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "That's it."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Okay. Looks safe

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'd forgotten what it's like.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 14'01".

[Master] Health check for Indigo

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Mist sickness?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: HEL check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 12!!

Raelynn (Carissa) nods and grimaces

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I hate it. It makes you feel all weak and gross. Sometimes for WEEKS!

[Master] Indigo grimaces and passes out

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (ouch)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Oh no

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Umm... or do that.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Sir Indigo!!

Raelynn (Carissa) hugs horse

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I don't know WHEN you belong, but I need to go see if I can tend to Indigo

[Master] Bixi has never been outside of The Mist so has never experienced entering The Mist

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Be good, okay?

Howard Plum (Lisa) pulls him over and props him against the wall

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn moved 34'06".

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Yes, and she's very scared right now)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Indigo moved 2'00".

Raelynn (Carissa) carefully crosses over

Brer Necholas (TMO) moves over to lean slightly against the gatehouse.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Brer Necholas moved 10'06".

[Master] Health check for Rae

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: HEL check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (was trying to find it)

[Master] The first time characters enter The Mist they are subject to a Health check to determine how long they will suffer from increased effect of The Mist closing down on them. Failure of this check means the character is significantly incapacitated (onehalfhealthandonehalfstamina) [1d0=] -1 for up to two weeks. Success limits this effect to only one to two days. Priests who fail their check loose the ability to cast all spells for one to two days and then all spells are cast as being one level higher (1stlevelsspellscountat2ndlevelspells) [1d0=] -1 for the duration of Mist Sickness. Healing spells of any type are not available to a Priest while under any type of Mist Sickness. Those that have failed their checks cannot heal normally for one to two days as they adjust to their new restrictions.

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

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'll miss the sunlight.

[Master] The horse is still there cropping the grass

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (apparently doesn't like Raelynn enough to follow her)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (is Rae still at least standing?)

[Master] Yes she is standing but very woozy

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh dear. I think I need to sit down, too....

[Master] and has all the effects of the failure with a priest

Brer Necholas (TMO) pulls out his walking stick and offers it to her.

Raelynn (Carissa) scoots closer to Indigo

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I... is it ever fatal?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: Diagnostics check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (hoping that still works)

[Master] nope

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I've never heard of anyone dying of it.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Ugh, sorry, Indigo. I hate the Mist.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Just being very, very miserable.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] ...ok

[N'laea (Carissa)] A lack of sunlight is never healthy, but you will survive.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (not sure he is conscious to answer)

[Master] no Indigo is out

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (bob said he passed out)

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) tiptoes into the mist

Raelynn (Carissa) gratefully takes cane

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (he rolled a crit fail)

[Master] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 19'09".

[Master] N'laea moved 29'11".

[N'laea (Carissa)] (N'laea isn't there yet, she's watching from the front door)

[Master] N'laea moved 40'07".

N'laea (Carissa) looks over her shoulder, "Are the rest of you staying?"

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Bixi Fizzlebang: HEL check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 12!!

[Master] to be clear Bixi is used to The Mist has spent her whole life there, this is the first time she has been in open sunlight

[Master] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 6'03".

[Master] and now she is woozy along with Rae

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Yeah, but someone just passed out!)

[Master] and Bixi now gets the full impact of someone entering The Mist for the first time

[Master] and being overwhelmed by it

[N'laea (Carissa)] (no NPCs coming?)

[Master] not yet

[Master] was giving you time to consider your options

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (we should probably warn any strangers about what happened before they cross)

N'laea (Carissa) waves Susan over

[N'laea (Carissa)] (yes was just thinking that)

[Master] Susan Delgado moved 43'04".

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so because Snee is one round behind she doesn't get mist sick? :) )

[N'laea (Carissa)] (haha we wish)

[N'laea (Carissa)] It does not look as though Mig has returned to the time we came from. I can only guess, but he may have gone back to your proper time.

[Master] that depends on where/how/when we end tonight

[N'laea (Carissa)] Do you or any of those with you plan to depart?

[N'laea (Carissa)] I have an idea, if so.

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I do not know

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I am considering Gerry's plan of seeing what happens in the morning

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Your friends do not look good

[N'laea (Carissa)] The Mist is not kind. Have you ever been in it?

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I have no idea what it is

Brer Necholas (TMO) waves a hand dismissively. "It's just the Mist."

[Susan Delgado (Master)] this is not like the grey that was there before

[N'laea (Carissa)] Magic, for lack of better explanation. It makes those who enter it sick, especially the magically-inclined.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] It passes.

[N'laea (Carissa)] You get used to it after some time.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (we don't know if Mig went back to his time or disintegrated because he did not belong in this one)

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Is it everywhere?

[N'laea (Carissa)] Thankfully no, but it is spreading.

Brer Necholas (TMO) rests his hand on his sword hilt and bows his head.

[N'laea (Carissa)] That is why you see it now. By 350 it has reached this area.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Which, I suppose, 350 is just past that gate. For some of us.

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Why not just stay in the sun?

[N'laea (Carissa)] You have a calling, do you not?

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Horses

N'laea (Carissa) smiles slightly, "Well, yes, but also a reason for being? You were here to fight a war, yes?"

[Susan Delgado (Master)] to fight the Queen who took our horses

N'laea (Carissa) nods

[N'laea (Carissa)] And I have a calling as well. Though I wish it always kept me in the sun, it does not, but I still must follow it.

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I followed for my horses

N'laea (Carissa) shakes head, "Raelynn would find your calling and reason to be very brave."

N'laea (Carissa) nods

[N'laea (Carissa)] And I follow my God's will. If that means into The Mist, I will go.

[N'laea (Carissa)] If your horse went into The Mist, you would follow, too, yes?

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I wish they were here

[N'laea (Carissa)] Is that one not yours?

[Susan Delgado (Master)] No

[N'laea (Carissa)] Ah

[N'laea (Carissa)] Well it may at least keep you company for a time.

[N'laea (Carissa)] I believe we will check back tomorrow, but may I ask a favor when you or any of the others leave?

Susan Delgado (Master) looks at her and nods

[N'laea (Carissa)] Make a mark on the outside of the gate, on the wall near the entrance. Something that could last 200 years or so.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Perhaps we'll see it, and know you were in our past.

[Susan Delgado (Master)] There are no marks there

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (great idea!)

[Susan Delgado (Master)] nothing ever changes

[N'laea (Carissa)] I believe it will now.

[N'laea (Carissa)] A big x with a circle, perhaps, on that wall outside?

[N'laea (Carissa)] Humor me, if nothing else.

Brer Necholas (TMO) 's back is currently covering that area of wall.

Susan Delgado (Master) nods

[Susan Delgado (Master)] If I go out I will do that

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (just to preserve continuity)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Thank you.

[N'laea (Carissa)] If someone else goes out instead, ask them in your steed.

[N'laea (Carissa)] And keep those papers close. I do not trust that mage.

Susan Delgado (Master) nods firmly

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods in agreement.

N'laea (Carissa) smiles, "It was nice to meet you. Perhaps we'll meet again some time."

N'laea (Carissa) goes and walks towards the gate

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea moved 58'04".

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (oh, she was way farther back than I thought)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lmao that's why I wasn't sure if I should acknowledge you)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (here I was reacting like he was hearing the whole convo)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (sorry about that!)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (no worries, Bob can say if you did or not)

[N'laea (Carissa)] You or me, Johan?

Brer Necholas (TMO) dials his hearing aid back down to normal levels.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (lol)

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Should one of us stay here to see what happens?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Or bring one of them back in here to see if that cures them?

N'laea (Carissa) looks at the others for their thoughts

[N'laea (Carissa)] Anyone want to see if the sickness shakes off?

[N'laea (Carissa)] Oh, and if there is a mark on that wall?

Brer Necholas (TMO) shakes his head. "Only if you think it necessary."

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (And then have to go back in again!? No thank you.)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Howard? You know magic better than I.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (you might make your health check roll a second time)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] The Mist isn't really like normal magic

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I'm afraid you may be better and then sick again.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Hmmm ... that could put a damper on tourism

[N'laea (Carissa)] Gerry may need to get someone to help boot people out who have overstayed.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Do you think it worth testing, though?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I could push Indigo in. He is very badly off

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Or one of our priestesses who want to see if their spells are less affected?

Raelynn (Carissa) slowly stands up

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I worry about sending Indigo over. He would have to know WHEN to go back over, and I don't think he could if he's unconscious.

Raelynn (Carissa) takes a deep breath

Raelynn (Carissa) carefully crosses back over

[Master] Raelynn moved 12'07".

[Master] and Rae feels 100% better

[Master] all effects gone

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh goddess, definitely feel much better.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Maybe Indigo should come back over.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I wonder....

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Is there a way to situate him right by the border so I can try to heal him?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I do not believe you can heal Mist sickness my lady

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well no, but I might make him not unconscious.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] He shall be fine in time

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I can move him, I think. I'm not that weakened.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (...does Raelynn have all her spells back?)

[Master] not more spells, the ones she had when she went over are still there

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (booo :) )

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (Indigo will be okay - just needs to sleep it off :) )

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol I know, but priestess is a priestess and he is unconscious)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (smiles)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Will you be staying behind Johan?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Do we think someone should?

N'laea (Carissa) shrugs

[N'laea (Carissa)] I personally do not think so.

[N'laea (Carissa)] I imagine a day will pass for here and there.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Do not stay there all by yourself

[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 10'04".

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (is Johan carrying his spell book?)

[Master] Johan the Apprentice: HEL check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 12!!

N'laea (Carissa) sighs

[N'laea (Carissa)] Much though I wish to stay in the sun.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (yay Johan)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Come on, Raelynn.

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea moved 11'04".

[N'laea (Carissa)] Raelynn moved 10'05".

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea: HEL check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

[(Carissa)] Raelynn: HEL check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Master] No to carrying his spell book, it is at the Church so just a short walk away

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Poor Rae, even worse than before)

[Master] and so Rae is hit again

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Ughhhhh

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Wait. Let me. Try. One more, time?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (was more worried he'd get mugged for his book by other mage if he stayed by himself)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Do you think it's okay to cross once more?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I have only gone back into The Mist three other times

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I meant the Inn

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] knowing how bad it will be seems to make it worse each time

Raelynn (Carissa) sighs

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I suppose I can sleep it off. Or come visit tomorrow...

Johan the Apprentice (Master) points to the Shrine a hundred yards or less away

Howard Plum (Lisa) takes some water out of Indigo's pack and pours it over his head

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

N'laea (Carissa) looks at the wall

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (over Indigo's head)

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] We are here in Hourglass

[N'laea (Carissa)] Does anyone see any marks? Perhaps a circle or an x?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Sorry y'all, I need to get up early tomorrow so I'm going to head out. It's my last working Saturday for the foreseeable future though, yay!)

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] (nice and goodnight)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (take care)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (night!)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (nice! Goodnight!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (see you online)

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] You asked her to draw it when she leaves, she has not left yet?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I just want to see if a mark is there first lol... otherwise I won't be able to sleep for wondering)

[N'laea (Carissa)] I asked her to make a permanent mark. Etching in stone was my hope. I do not know if I had to be so explicit.

[N'laea (Carissa)] But unless these times are parallel... she would have left by now in this time, perhaps?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] If the mark is there now does that mean she has to leave no matter what?

[N'laea (Carissa)] I would think it means she does leave at some point.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] What if something happens to her tonight before she can leave?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] This is why no one should be changing time

[N'laea (Carissa)] I asked her to ask others if they leave to leave a mark. I would think someone would leave.

[N'laea (Carissa)] It was not to change time, but to see if it was the same time. If they left safely.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Yes I understand

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] If I knew my friend disappeared completely I'm not sure I would follow

Lemon has left the game on Fri Aug 20 23:06:43 EDT 2021

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] It is a huge leap into the unknown

[N'laea (Carissa)] Perhaps, but if my alternative was to remain at that inn forever with the mage, I would likely decide leaving was more appealing.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I'm sure he could not have been that bad ...

[Raelynn (Carissa)] He was a self-righteous piece of garbage!

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] He was evil.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Intolerable.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] When he was demanding boats from Indigo he was arrogant and did not succeed

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Evil? That is not good for one so powerful.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] He thought he had good motives.

[N'laea (Carissa)] No, it is not. Let us hope he cannot continue with his games any longer.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] It was a human evil. There is hope for him, if he learns.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] We must tell Branwyn as soon as possible. We should send Indigo back to Dragon Fen to recover

N'laea (Carissa) nods

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] He can explain everything to her

[N'laea (Carissa)] She may understand this better. Magic is... still hard to grasp.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (unless everyone is going back to dragon fen?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (how far is it?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (and no, we'd want someone to come back the next day to check, right?)

[Master] brb restroom

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I don't think Indigo will be able to visit this inn tomorrow as he planned. I trust you all will do that?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (like 2 days I think)

[N'laea (Carissa)] Yes.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Thank you

[N'laea (Carissa)] Will you be going with Indigo?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Me or Johan

N'laea (Carissa) nods, "Yes, I am hoping one of you will return tomorrow. The little magic I know does not make this make much more sense."

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I will stay and watch over the Inn

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] All night?

[Master] Snee has built up a small group of homes around her Shrine Aclim in Hourglass. Mostly a crossroads forming a T, with the shrine in the NE corner, the NW corner having some additional houses, a farm or two on the SW corner and the SE corner is the Inn of the Lost Eagle which is the heart of "Haunted Hourglass". Pete had his old encampment of tents on the NE corner and when someone would wander "south" into the Inn area sometimes they would just disappear. The grounds of the Inn contains apple trees that would have fruit disappear from.

[Master] Just to remind everyone that there are homes right across the road from the Inn

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (had no clue at all)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Oh, well then maybe all night and/or us camping here isn't a bad idea?)

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

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (people are living in them though?)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I wasn't here when we came to Hourglass, so missed those descriptions)

[Master] yes

[Master] this is why Pete was concerned

[Master] he lost someone

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so it's not like we barge in to people's houses)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (wonder if that someone returned?)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] If you want company I can come back after I get Indigo settled in the Governor's manor

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] That would be nice

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I will stay or go as needed.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Misses Raelynn and Bixi might also want proper shelter

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] They look a little poorly

[N'laea (Carissa)] Yes, I can help get them settled and join you after as well.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Good good

[Craigh (TMO)] I'll stay here with Johan, no problem.

Johan the Apprentice (Master) goes across the road and over to the nearest house

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] (it is set back from the gate to the Inn and offset so the doors and windows do not look directly at the Inn)

Johan the Apprentice (Master) comes back after a short bit

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I told Mr. Jenson that we would be camping in front of his house to watch the Inn

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] In case anything strange happens

[Master] and a good spot to pause?

[Carissa] I think so

[Craigh (TMO)] Oh goody. I know some good ghost stories.

[Master] Johan and Howard sleeping out in the field/roadside

[Master] along with Craigh

[Master] Indigo, Brer, Rae, Nlea and Bixi go to the Shrine

[Master] or to the Church

[Carissa] N'laea was going to return to help watch after the others get settled

[Master] depending on Spring next week we will see where Snee is

[Master] Ok that is good

[Carissa] Just in case the mages need, er, a little muscle?

[Carissa] If Brer is going to stay at the Shrine

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] much appreciated

[Master] A good mystery? enough scary trepidation on what to do to solve?

[Carissa] I dunno what else needs solving, but I'm also getting tired

[Master] nothing else tonight

[Craigh (TMO)] (I'm just really curious how you planned this scenario to go, before we got all 'artifact destructive'

[Master] but next week figuring out how to integrate the Inn into the new Hourglass

[Master] I was not sure if you were going to figure out how to use the hourglass

[Master] use it to fix the Inn in a particular time

[Master] or to use it to shift back and forth as you wanted

[Master] or get stuck there

[Lisa] no messing with the space time continuum

[Master] grins

[Lisa] that would have been a terrible solution

[Craigh (TMO)] but fun

[Lisa] yes

[Carissa] lol

[TMO] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur57IunS9To

[Master] Have a great night everyone

[Lisa] Goodnight!!

[TMO] ewe too

[TMO] g'nite

TMO has left the game on Fri Aug 20 23:29:53 EDT 2021

[Carissa] Night!

Lisa has left the game on Fri Aug 20 23:29:56 EDT 2021

Carissa has left the game on Fri Aug 20 23:29:56 EDT 2021
