[Master] Hey there

[Lisa] Hello :)

[Master] So we apparently only you Carissa and TMO to start

[Master] and then at some point Lemon

[Lisa] yes

[Master] How was the meeting yesterday?

[Lisa] long

[Lisa] was sitting for 4 hours straight

[Master] uff

Carissa has joined the game on Fri Aug 27 19:15:15 EDT 2021

Lemon has joined the game on Fri Aug 27 19:15:40 EDT 2021

[Lisa] Hi carissa and Lemon! :)

[Master] Hello!

[Lemon] Hi everyone!

[Carissa] Hi all!

[Lemon] Getting a snack real quick, but I am here!

[Master] excellent

[Master] how do you fee Carissa?

[Carissa] In general or about how things are going in game? :P

[Master] grins

[Master] both

[Lisa] is there a difference?

[Carissa] First morning in way to long I woke up feeling relatively normal which was fantastic. Found out I'm getting a very nice bonus for horse sitting. So in general, feeling good.

[Master] See you need more horses!

[Carissa] As for game, slightly less confused BUT I don't like that your People of Interest Page is only Gerry and not Orthinoiansohd

[Carissa] Noooo

[Carissa] This weekend is last shipment then they're done for the season.

TMO has joined the game on Fri Aug 27 19:20:12 EDT 2021

[Master] I will add to interesting people as you know they will stick around

[Carissa] Exactly my point :)

[TMO] lo and behold

[Carissa] It is he, TMO!

[TMO] indeed, it is I, TMO!

[Lisa] Hi TMO :)

[TMO] hi! how we al doin?

[Master] I feel good

[Lemon] Hi TMO!

[TMO] congrats!

[Lisa] good. hot but good. Back to triple digits for us

[TMO] icky

[Master] ouch

[Carissa] gross

[Master] So the group of you are sitting on the side of the road across from the Inn

[TMO] cooking s'mores

[Carissa] You brought the marshmallows?

[TMO] never smite without them

[Carissa] Good

[Carissa] Bob says chocolate doesn't exist, though, so might be just those and graham crackers

[Lemon] Chocolate doesn't exist?

[Master] Not in Drillian

[Lemon] I'm reconsidering my commitment to this...

[TMO] send us to Hell, Bob. I don't want to live in this world no more

[Lisa] so we dropped the sick people off and it is just the campers?

[Lisa] lol!

[Master] LOL

[Master] LOL

[Carissa] lol

[Lemon] I forgot to catch up on what happened after I left last week

[Master] Carissa can tell us what you did and are looking for

[Carissa] We left the Mist, the sicklings are going to the shrine to rest, the rest of us are camping outside the inn overnight to see if anything happens

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

[Carissa] Oh and need to look at the wall at some point, either morning or after someone else leaves the inn

[Lemon] Yes, I was wondering about that for sure

[Master] and so you are now talking about it

[Master] and SCENE

[Master] Quiet on the set

[Master] and ACTION

TMO looks for his mark

[Carissa] (Bixi is resting at the shrine though, yes? Or is she going to tough it out with the chocolateless s'more group?)

[Carissa] (Lemon left before she could decide for herself :) )

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (she should stay with us so she can roleplay - she's tougher than Indigo who needs a nap)

[Lemon] I mean now that I know there's no chocolate, I'm fine with a nap. At least there are still naps.

[Carissa] (agreed and lol poor Indigo)

[Craigh (TMO)] How was the sunlight?

[N'laea (Carissa)] I already miss it.

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Maybe Bixi wants to hang out and see if the ghost inn disappears overnight?)

[Craigh (TMO)] It was really bright. Hurt my eyes.

[N'laea (Carissa)] I thought you came from sunlight?

[Craigh (TMO)] I spent most of my time down south, in the very deep Mist.

[Craigh (TMO)] (is that right Bob?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (oops that's on me forgetting, but I'll roll with it)

[Master] Yes to TMO

[N'laea (Carissa)] Ah, that sounds even more unpleasant.

[Craigh (TMO)] (no, it's perfect)

[Craigh (TMO)] It made everything look really green though.

[N'laea (Carissa)] (psshh you're only a human the elf barely knows to care to remember ;) )

[N'laea (Carissa)] Green? Nothing looks quite green in the Mist.

[Craigh (TMO)] If that's what you're used to, I can see that.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Have you been in sunlight before?

Craigh (TMO) shakes his head.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] You might be the only person here who has always lived in The Mist

[N'laea (Carissa)] I thought the gnome hadn't left it before?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Does she count?

[Lemon] lol!

[Lemon] But also last week's chat definitely says Bixi got carted away to rest

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] (She can be here if you wish Lemon so you have a speaking part)

N'laea (Carissa) shrugs

[Lemon] I think she probably needs the rest. It was a big day for her, even without the sickness

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] If apprentices count, so should gnomes.

Howard Plum (Lisa) looks at Johan

[Craigh (TMO)] Ouch

Johan the Apprentice (Master) shrugs, I suppose

[N'laea (Carissa)] (LOL)

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Although until Branwyn did we really matter?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Of course we did. In some way.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I am just glad you are all safe. I am afraid that barbarian is lost forever.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] with luck, they went back t their time.

[N'laea (Carissa)] It is possible he went back to his proper, er, WHEN.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Perhaps. I did not get a chance to speak to the hourglass' creator. But ...

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] When? How?

[N'laea (Carissa)] I have already asked Susan, and she will hopefully pass it to others, for whoever to leave next to leave a more permanent mark on the wall when they leave so we may have an idea.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] What I wonder

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] The hourglass was broken. The mage moved through time with the hourglass. What mechanism was in operation to send the barbarian to another time?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Is if you are going back to A when, but you are not alive at that time, would you go back and just die?

Howard Plum (Lisa) shakes his head "I hope so but I am not confident"

Howard Plum (Lisa) to N’laea

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We came back to our when. But I don't know what happened to them. Men shouldn't meddle with time.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Did we come back to OUR when? does anyone know?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] You said they were talking about different Queens

[N'laea (Carissa)] Howard did not leave, unless this is a different Howard.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Did you come back to a "when" or simply walk out of the gate holding back the time anomaly?

[N'laea (Carissa)] (if only we had Sundown/Indigo to test for imposters!)

[Lemon] Test for imposters?

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lol fill you in later)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I am me.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] What WAS your name?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Quiet!

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Good

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] So you are really you the you that I knew

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

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] and if I know that then I must be in the same time that I was before I went in there

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I suppose we will just have to wait and see. Only time will tell!

Howard Plum (Lisa) laughs

Johan the Apprentice (Master) half laughs

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I ah,

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Well

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] So what do you think that mage is? or when is that mage in?

Craigh (TMO) lightly throws a pebble at Howard.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] It was a little funny ... oh well.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Does it matter?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I think we need to figure out what to tell Snee and Branwyn about him

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] In the morning he will have some of his skills back

[N'laea (Carissa)] Snee met him.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Snee only healed him and then left when she got upset at him being an asshole

[N'laea (Carissa)] Indigo took his ring, and his scroll was missing. I believe to stop him from having spells?

[Lemon] Maybe time travel messes with memory lol

Johan the Apprentice (Master) gestures and light the edge of N'laea's shirt on fire

Johan the Apprentice (Master) gestures and snuffs it out

[N'laea (Carissa)] Er, that was Raelynn although Snee fell asleep-

[N'laea (Carissa)] Hey!

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] OH but I do not have any powers!

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Mages always have power

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] you cannot stop them

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Just like Priests

[N'laea (Carissa)] Just like my fist, but are what he's left with useful now?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Short of killing him, there's nothing really we can do about it now.

Johan the Apprentice (Master) shrugs

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] How much could you do Howard?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] The same as you or as a priest with Orison powers.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Burning things would be silly as it would sabotage himself as well.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] But it depends on how creative this mage is. If he creates sounds to scare people into running away perhaps he could scare them past the gate. Or ... I don't know.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] But he could use it to control things?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I cannot control things through cantrip

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Have you tried?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] What can you do?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I stop flies all the time

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If people can cross the border and go back again, he could hire people to bring him materials.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] You can make them do little loops

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I make a light to bring moths

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Talk to me when you can make Brer do tricks

Johan the Apprentice (Master) LOL

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm a terrible juggler.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] OH I can help with that

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs. "I'm fine, thanks."

Johan the Apprentice (Master) lifts up three pebbles and moves them through the air

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I thought you said he had no gold. Magical supplies are expensive

Johan the Apprentice (Master) starts to gesture towards Brer, then stops them and lets them drop

Johan the Apprentice (Master) wave of his hand and a gold piece appears

Johan the Apprentice (Master) drops it into a small pouch

Howard Plum (Lisa) sighs

Johan the Apprentice (Master) hands the pouch over to Brer

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] here you go

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Go ahead open it up

[Johan the Apprentice (Master) (to TMO only)] empty

Brer Necholas (TMO) opens the pouch and pours it onto his palm

[Master] and nothing in Brer's hand

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] He is going to be a problem, nodding to the Inn

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] This is what you have been spending your time doing while I've been almost gotten killed by goblins and ankhegs?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (bbs - gotta step away for a bit)

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[N'laea (Carissa)] You have an idea?

[Lemon] I would just like to point out that Bixi was VERY WORRIED about this subject back when we were all inside

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] :)

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I have been trying to learn to use all my skills to the best I can

[Lemon] And everyone was like "oh no it's fine, he has no stuff anymore don't worry about it lol gnomes"

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] YOU had free use of the library for months

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] In case you need to swindle innocent people with disappearing gold pieces?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I would not swindle anyone in the Estate

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I was learning ... trying to learn spells

Johan the Apprentice (Master) nods

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] and taps Howard's knee, You did good

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] You learned more than I did

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] sighs "Not as much as I would have liked"

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Good

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] So you still have goals to achieve

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] grins

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] (a rare smile)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] What do you think we should do with the mage then? Branwyn would not approve of killing him. You know that

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I think we need to talk to him again

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] so we can go back to Branwyn and give her the information so she can talk to him

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I thought that was what you were doing for the past few hours

[N'laea (Carissa)] So we need to keep him here until she gets here?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Perhaps if you tell him the barbarian disintegrated that will scare the mage into not wanting to leave

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Yes

[N'laea (Carissa)] Ah true. He's certainly not brave,

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I feel certain we can scare or convince him to stay here

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I do not wish death on anyone, but I do hope somewhat someone tries to cross overnight so we can see if a circle appears on the wall. So at least we will know the truth

N'laea (Carissa) nods in agreement

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Who would cross?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Another barbarian from Carnak?

[Lemon] I hope only the horse crossed, and there's a really deep horse hoofprint in the wall, and then it turns out we've got ourselves a Mr. Ed kind of situation :P

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (lol)

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] You traveled with that barbarian that was with Branwyn right?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] (LOL)

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Yes she was a priestess. She went home to Carnak.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] You met her didn't you?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Did she always want to go back home?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I only met her briefly

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] After she had to live in Dryads Lair, yes. She did not fair well in a big city

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I am sure the ones of her kind are not happy in a tavern

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] How long would you live in a tavern with no escape N’laea?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Not that I am equating elves and barbarians. You both like the outdoors is all

[N'laea (Carissa)] I would have left the minute the skies turned sunny.

[N'laea (Carissa)] There are ways to occupy my time, but to be stuck there sounds unpleasant.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] But would you leave the sunny area to back to the Mist?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Or stay in the sun?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Stay in the sun in a cage or take a chance you will bypass the Mist and return to freedom in your own time?

Johan the Apprentice (Master) nods

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] The sun becomes a cage

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] wrapped in The Mist

[N'laea (Carissa)] Take the chance. No sun, but some trees is better than sun and a building on the ground.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] OH

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Wrapped in Time!

[Craigh (TMO)] Very poetic

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] We need to tell Branwyn that one she will want to use that when she talks with him

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I'm not sure what she will do.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I know she will not approve of time manipulation, but would not kill him or want to free him.

[Master] Any other thoughts? Comments? Ideas? IC or OOC ? before morning comes?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (I'm good - just rambling)

[Master] Carissa? TMO?

[Craigh (TMO)] (I'm back, but didn't participate much, sorry)

[Craigh (TMO)] (ate too much dinner. ;) )

[Master] Just want you all to have the chance to come up with ideas before the sun comes up

[Lemon] TMO with TMI?

[Craigh (TMO)] naturally

[N'laea (Carissa)] (my brief idea apparently still ends with him dying so trying to think)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (and cat on lap so hard to type)

[Master] chuckles

[Master] so morning?

[Lemon] A real cat or a mythical one?

[Master] Brer Necholas's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 54 (3) - Lightly Wounded

[Master] Craigh: No adjustments made.

[Master] Talwin: No adjustments made.

[Master] Boy: No adjustments made.

[Master] Girl: No adjustments made.

[Master] Joe: No adjustments made.

[Master (to GM only)] Kilt: No adjustments made.

[Master] Howard Plum: No adjustments made.

[Master] N'laea: No adjustments made.

[Master] Snezana: No adjustments made.

[Master] Indigo: No adjustments made.

[Master] Bixi Fizzlebang: No adjustments made.

[Master] Johan the Apprentice: No adjustments made.

[Master] Raelynn: No adjustments made.

[Master] Pylon: No adjustments made.

[Master (to GM only)] Gerry the barkeep: No adjustments made.

[Master] Orthinmadrigal the Amazing's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 4 (3) - Massively Wounded

[Lemon] Whaaaat just happened

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (we woke up)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (real, he demands hugs)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (minor sleep healing happens - I think it's easier for Bob to do it for everyone instead of trying to find hurt people)

[Lemon] Ahhhh, ok

[Master] yes

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (my cat was doing that earlier but then I sneezed. Me sneezing scares my cats and makes them run away :D )

[Master] laughs

[N'laea (Carissa)] (really? hmm, maybe I need to sneeze, lol)

[Master] So in the morning there are no new markings on the outside of the Inn

[Lemon] lol! My first dog hated sneezing so much that whenever I made a face like I was going to sneeze, he would run up and lick my face to interrupt it

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (LOL)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lol)

[Lemon] So either no one left, or everyone who left also disintegrated?

[Carissa] I don't think anyone planned to leave yet

[Master] You are waiting to see

[Carissa] N'laea: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

N'laea (Carissa) only sees the back of her eyelids

[Lemon] I mean if they went back to their old time, the mark would be there, right?

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

[N'laea (Carissa)] (we don't know, but also don't know if anyone left and/or we didn't see anyone leave yet)

[Master] Bixi can venture back to the Inn in the morning

[Master] and or Indigo etc.

[Lemon] Or I guess I suppose they could have been like "eff those crazy people, I'm not wasting time scribbling a circle or whatever"

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (some group should check to see if the inn supplies replenished, deal with mage again, etc.)

[Craigh (TMO)] (I don't think anyone should go in alone

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (agreed)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (if Raelynn comes back from the shrine, she'll happily go in just for the sun)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (Howard is staying out)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (N'laea rolled well...hesitant to make her do that transition again, but can if needed ;) )

[Lemon] oh no, more mist sickness

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (how mobile is Indigo today?)

[Master] Walking wounded

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (brer can handle it though :) )

[Master] he is awake

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (yeah then he'll stay resting)

[Master] Would need priestly healing

[Master] not hit points it is his Con

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (and all the priestesses are Mist sick themselves :) )

[N'laea (Carissa)] (one is volunteering to unsick herself!)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so my guys stay out and others can go in and see what happened overnight)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (maybe Bixi would get a better roll too)

[Lemon] Bixi would definitely go again if she's up to it and makes it back in time... she's got some pretty intense curiosity

[N'laea (Carissa)] (just checking if things replenish?)

[Craigh (TMO)] (like the hourglass)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (see if we missed anyone leaving, see how mage is doing, maybe lie to him or whatever you want to do with him)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (got it, wasn't sure if we had new questions that I didn't catch)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Brer coming to be the muscle?)

[Craigh (TMO)] (sure)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Ughh I still feel horrible. Anything happen last night?

[Lemon] Does Bixi still feel horrible? I'm not sure how the recovery works

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (until they cross back into the sun, yes)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] It was a very calm evening. We saw nothing out of the ordinary

[Raelynn (Carissa)] So you think it's safe to cross again?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I am not crossing that gate but I can't imagine it would be different than yesterday

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh, but don't we need to see if things changed?

N'laea (Carissa) nods towards the sunlight

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Bixi still feels horrible and does not have spells but can walk around with a hangover

Lemon nods slowly

[Lemon] oops

[N'laea (Carissa)] Go ahead. I faired fine this time. Unless you need me, I will stay here this time.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh.... ummmm, I don't mind checking and seeing the sun, but....

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I would like to see if everything reset, and how Gerry is doing today if it didn't.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Brer, will you come? If that jerk is a jerk again, it'd be nice to have you there.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'll go with you.

Raelynn (Carissa) smiles

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh good! Anyone else?

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I am coming

Brer Necholas (TMO) prepares his equipment.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (getting a drink - brb)

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] (Lisa has no one in the Inn so we are ready to go)

Johan the Apprentice (Master) walks INTO the courtyard

Johan the Apprentice (Master) squints in the sunlight

Johan the Apprentice (Master) pauses

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Hmm

Brer Necholas (TMO) follows.

Brer Necholas (TMO) looks around to see if anything has changed.

Raelynn (Carissa) follows them into the sunshine

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) follows, creeping on tiptoes

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Still nervous about that border)

[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 45'03".

Johan the Apprentice (Master) looks back should we send the horse back again?

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 37'08".

[Master] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 38'05".

[Master] Raelynn moved 43'00".

[Master] Brer Necholas moved 32'08".

[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 26'04".

[Master] Raelynn moved 25'11".

[Master] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 27'10".

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] Welcome!

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] Oh

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I think the horse is probably happier in the sun. Right, Raelynn?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] Well, I guess Welcome

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] ( Bixi is feeling just fine now that she is in the sun, no hangover effect etc.)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I'm still not sure it's the same horse...

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hi Gerry! Is today a new day?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] I was not sure if you were new visitors or old visitors

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] I feel like I slept a long time, it was a bit hard to get up and clean things

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] How are you feeling today?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] did you stay here?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] What did you clean?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Much better now that I'm back in the sun.

Gerry the barkeep (Master) looks down at the bar,

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] So you remember us?

Raelynn (Carissa) shakes head, "No, we went back to the shrine to rest."

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) looks around to see if the magic dust is still on the floor

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] I mean here?

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) curled around the remains of the hourglass

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] I think that we are doing ok

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] Everything seems to be back?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] the cask is full

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] that I emptied

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] but the broken things are still broken

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] and that did not happen

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] they would always be fixed

Raelynn (Carissa) frowns in confusion

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] so I am not sure what is happening

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well I suppose food supplies won't be a problem...

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] It is a rebound

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] It is used to being full so it is full

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] but if it is not used to being together

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] How is that possible?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] then it will not stay together

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) gestures to the wood and the stone

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] The stone is used to being in one piece so stayed

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] the wood is used to rotting away and so it is broken

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Why isn't your hourglass used to being in one piece?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] It is

Raelynn (Carissa) crosses arms and reluctantly listens

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] but the magic is broken

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] It cannot go back

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] It can stay

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I hope

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If the item has soul or spirit, it heals. But it that is broken, it dies.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Did he die?

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) gets out her notebook and adds "Half-ghosts never make sense"

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] You watched him leave

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] did he die?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] So the cask has a soul?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Yeast

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] you are not a brewer are you

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] shakes head

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (oops)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Beer is alive

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] The cask would not

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] So if the cask were broken, what happens to the beer tomorrow?

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) shrugs

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Maybe it'd disintegrate like the guy who left.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I do not want to know

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) looks ashen

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Did he die?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Disintegrated?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] We aren't in the Mist here.

Raelynn (Carissa) makes a hand motion while saying, "Poof!"

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Can we scry?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I cannot

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Um, certainly, if you know that spell.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] but perhaps your priest can?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I don't have magic.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I am my own priestess, thank you very much.

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) looks at Rae

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) waiting

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh, I'm sorry, did you mean to ask me directly?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I did not ask you, your Paladin did

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Which is interesting by the way

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I thought you all died out

[Raelynn (Carissa)] He knows what I can do as we did some spells yesterday.

Raelynn (Carissa) whispers to Brer, "I can't scry, though, sorry."

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods. "It was just a thought."

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Umm, no. We returned to where we came from.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Or WHEN we came from

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] No I get that

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] but from my time the Brotherhood is a failed experiment

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] put a target on them and it just makes it easier to go after them

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) writes "Half'ghosts are mean for seemingly no reason"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] That's why I keep to myself.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] But I suppose if you want to keep the Brotherhood alive then you keep The Mist alive to help protect them

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] the Mist is not for my protection

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] So I did not fully understand .... yesterday? I suppose things are moving linear forward now so yesterday is the right term

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Sir Indigo

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) shudders

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] He said that he was not in charge

Raelynn (Carissa) points, "He's right outside the gate if you want me to get him?"

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I am good with what you want to do

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] go get him if you must

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Or you can come outside and talk to him directly, through the gate.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] No I will stay here

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I was simply saying that Sir Indigo said that he was not in charge of the Estate

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] that some Branwyn was

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] if you would tell me who that is?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh! Yes, she's very nice. To people who aren't jerks.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Interesting.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm curious, Mage...

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] You can just call me Amazing

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm..

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (LOL)

Raelynn (Carissa) fails to hide her laughter

Raelynn (Carissa) tries to cough it off

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96P47MYipmY

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] If I remember the story right, Branwyn rescued Indigo from slavers. How did Indigo become renowned in your history?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Indigo, he rose from nothing to become a Knight, a General, an Admiral

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] The one person the Queen can trust with any task

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Hmm

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Never a slave?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Not that I am aware of but I do not know where he emerged from to be noticed by the Queen

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Just curious.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] But you did not answer my question on who this Branwyn is

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] A Mage.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh, I'm sure you'll meet her soon enough and you can find out yourself.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm not sure how to describe her better if you don't already know her.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] So she will understand my position

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] She does not have any other name?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Understand, probably. Sympathize, perhaps.

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] the Mysterious.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Nice

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Simple easy

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Branwyn the Mysterious

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Very well please bring her to me

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] (?)

Raelynn (Carissa) rolls eyes

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] I'm sure she'll be interested to hear the story.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Do you need anything, Gerry? If we leave and come back again?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] Bread and fruit

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] I am tired of apples

Raelynn (Carissa) nods

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Ooooh, Gerry, do you ever make pies with the apples?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] Tarts

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (please tell me pies exist here)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: Artistic Ability check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 15!!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (are his clothes old-fashioned?)

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] (yes)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I bet they are delicious

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Umm, hmm, maybe we can find you some, er other clothing? Maybe? You look very... old-fashioned.

Gerry the barkeep (Master) looks down

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Unless that's what you want to stay as. Actually, should people know when this is?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] They are in good shape, they have not worn out

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Or is it better to let them think it's just a spot of sun in normal times?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] well, I guess maybe now

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] When are we?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (I need to run to the store real quick. brb)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well that color doesn't quite go with your eyes, but if you like that outfit....

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] We are NOW

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I think you're in your when? But I don't know if others can get to your when from other wins? Will it only be people from my when that get visit this when?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] You came and left and came back

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] so you are in your own NOW

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Those who are here, were here, are here NOW but when they leave they go to When?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I didn't ask about them leaving, I'm asking who can visit here.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Could Gerry's parent's come visit him still?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] They're in a different whatever than we are.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Does this transcend the multiple timelines or whatever?

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) touches the glittering sand

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I do not think that someone from another time can come to NOW

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] can we go from NOW to WHEN?

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] do you want to try?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] No, I like being where I am. And like I said, the other guy? Poof!!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] But what I really need to know is if Gerry needs new clothes.

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) shrugs, I cannot tell you if he wants new clothes

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Robes are easier

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] and you did not answer the question Elf

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] and yes you are an Elf no matter what others tell you

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] you like being where you are, do you like being WHEN you are?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] You're dense. If people know something is off here, wouldn't they try to find a reason sooner? So if you're here, now, WHATEVER, isn't it better for Gerry to blend in?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Stop the snooping sooner.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh, I don't care to answer your questions.

Raelynn (Carissa) sighs, "Well, I'll try to get you some new clothes just in case. Branwyn will probably have a better idea of how to deal with all of this."

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I look forward to talking with her

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] do bring her one idea please

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (ooh he does know how to say please?)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] (he said it twice grins)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (oops missed the second)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Gerry has been granted this Inn

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] He is in charge of this TIME and Space

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Do you agree?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] It doesn’t matter if I agree or not, but yes, Snee did say he can keep this inn.

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) nods

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (surprised he doesn't want to be in charge)

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Then go tell Branwyn

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] Everything here that is alive is always alive

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] I am certain she will understand that

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I'm sure he thinks he can work Gerry being in charge to his advantage somehow)

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) turns away

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Excuse me

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Yes?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (isn't Susan the one who left?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (no she was waiting the night)

[Susan Delgado (Master)] What is happening out there?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Mig left)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (ah)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh! Come look!

Raelynn (Carissa) goes to walk outside with her

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I would not let anyone leave last night

[Master] Susan Delgado moved 49'00".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn moved 22'11".

[Susan Delgado (Master)] What happened to Mig?

Raelynn (Carissa) lowers her voice

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (while she's talking with Susan, Brer will try to ask Amazing what he plans to do while he's here)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] We don't actually know. He might have gone back to his time? But we want to make sure the mage stays so I told him Mig disintegrated. But he really just... disappeared. Maybe back to his time?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Bixi will stay inside... she's still trying to figure out what the deal is with the half-ghost mage)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] OH!

[(Master)] (Orthingmadrigal is deep in thought, seems to be meditating, the magical sand swirls in little circles under his gestures, as he is humming and thinking to himself, ignoring the rest of the world)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I wonder if I could ask the future?

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Ask which future?

Raelynn (Carissa) calls out, "BRER! CAN I BORROW YOUR SWORD AGAIN?"

[Susan Delgado (Master)] We were talking

[Susan Delgado (Master)] last night about if this changed things for us

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh, sorry. I mean, I can cast a spell and ask it what will happen if any of you leave.

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Oh that would be very good!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I don't know if I can ask what happened to Mig, but I can see if I can find out what would happen to you and the others.

Susan Delgado (Master) brightens

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I asked for us yesterday and found out so I think it'll work...

Raelynn (Carissa) calls again, "BRER!!"

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Is he really a Paladin?

Raelynn (Carissa) nods

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I only ever heard stories of them

[Susan Delgado (Master)] holy warriors

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Ok, if Brer goes outside, Bixi is also going. Definitely not staying alone with Mr. Amageing.)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] He's very paladin. He wouldn't even kill the goblins that kidnapped him!

Brer Necholas (TMO) watches Orthin with his eyepatch up, trying to see if he can determine anything from the auras.

[Susan Delgado (Master)] If he is a Paladin how did goblins kidnap him?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Follows, um.... I forget which god. But yes. He's very about evil and stuff.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh bad luck and such. He had a paladin partner who was VERY paladin, stick up his you-know-what, but he wasn't there when the goblins attacked. And I think he was just caught off guard.

[Susan Delgado (Master) (to TMO only)] is vaguely evil as an all in for himself the rest of the world can burn sense but nothing active creating aiming at anyone

Raelynn (Carissa) sighs

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hold on, I need something from him before I can cast the spell.

Raelynn (Carissa) walks back to the inn, "Brer, may I borrow your sword again?"

Johan the Apprentice (Master) gestures at the sand

Johan the Apprentice (Master) tries to move it

Brer Necholas (TMO) closes his eyepatch and looks up. "Hmm?"

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) TURNS to Johan

[Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master)] You want to play ... sneers, mage?

Johan the Apprentice (Master) stands up straighter

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I have questions to ask for Susan...

Raelynn (Carissa) pauses to watch

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Oh.

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] I am sworn to Countess Branwyn Branadarus The Mysterious et al

Brer Necholas (TMO) stands up. "I'll be right back."

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (et al? lmao)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (lol)

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] You will not insult me

Johan the Apprentice (Master) Straightens up

Brer Necholas (TMO) follows Raelynn.

[Master] Johan the Apprentice casts a spell against : Monster Summoning I: For the next (2+5) 7 rounds, I've got (1d20) [1d20=2] 2 -- 2d4 Large Bats helping me (unless the DM says otherwise of course).

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Raelynn is in the inn watching the mage fight)

Johan the Apprentice (Master) gestures at the bats flying around the room

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] You cannot even do such simple magics

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Until Branwyn allows you to

[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Remember your boundaries

Johan the Apprentice (Master) turns and walks about

[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 29'10".

Johan the Apprentice (Master) breathes out heavy

Johan the Apprentice (Master) heaving

Johan the Apprentice (Master) blows out

Johan the Apprentice (Master) straightens

Johan the Apprentice (Master) walks out to the boundary

[Master] Johan the Apprentice moved 31'05".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Um, anyways, your sword, please, Brer?

Raelynn (Carissa) walks out to Susan hoping he'll follow

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (did he give a command to the bats?)

Brer Necholas (TMO) follows Raelynn.

Orthinmadrigal the Amazing (Master) Gestures up to the bats, and small bugs appear that they swoop over and eat

[Master] I think that is enough magical emotion for now

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (oh sure make bat friends)

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) follows Brer

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (bat friends would be nice)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (lol)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (The bats make me feel right at home... there are a lot here lol)

Raelynn (Carissa) sits down and gestures for Brer to join her

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Yesterday we asked what would happen to us. Today I want to see if I can ask what will happen to Susan and her friends.

Brer Necholas (TMO) draws his sword and sits down with them.

Brer Necholas (TMO) hands it over to her hilt-first.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hmm, how did I word it last time...

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Or how should I word it.... maybe...

[Raelynn (Carissa)] "What will happen to Susan and those of her time if she leaves this space and crosses the gate?"

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (if no input we'll go with that)

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn casts a spell against : Augury: I ask a question about a future task and receive a reply with (70+5) 75% certainty.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (d100) [1d100=62] 62

[Master] "Everyone who leaves finds their own fate"

Raelynn (Carissa) frowns

[Raelynn (Carissa)] "Everyone who leaves finds their own fate."

[Raelynn (Carissa)] What do you think?

Brer Necholas (TMO) rubs his chin.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Seems pretty wishy-washy

[Brer Necholas (TMO) (to GM only)] Brer Necholas: INU check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!

Raelynn (Carissa) nods, "Asking the future questions can be like that."

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Fate as in death? Fate as in they'll each go somewhere or do something different? It's hard to say.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] If there is a better, more precise question I can ask. Hmm....

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Will it harm them?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hmm, yes, but can we word it more exactly? I mean, if they leave for their time, they'll probably be harmed at some point in their future so how do we narrow it down to this specific act?

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] Will leaving this place cause them immediate harm?

Raelynn (Carissa) thinks on it before she shrugs

[Raelynn (Carissa)] That might work.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] "Will leaving this place cause immediate harm to Susan and the others?"

Raelynn (Carissa) looks at Brer for a nod before she asks officially

Brer Necholas (TMO) nods.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn casts a spell against : Augury: I ask a question about a future task and receive a reply with (70+5) 75% certainty.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (d100) [1d100=30] 30

[Master] "Everyone encounters possible harm when they leave here"

Raelynn (Carissa) throws her hands up in frustration

Howard Plum (Lisa) smashes magic 8-ball against the wall

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Now I remember why this isn't my favorite spell

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (LOL)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] This is why I leave scrying to the professionals. It's outside my range.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] "Everyone encounters possible harm when they leave here."

[Master] So far everyone has encountered harm when they left here....... The Mist

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I'm not used to asking death defying questions! I'm used to asking, "Will such-and-such find true love?" or "Is such-and-such meant to be with so-and-so?"

[Raelynn (Carissa)] So much easier!

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (maybe ask if a person from the year 187 leaving here will go back to their own time?)

[Master] Will leaving this place cause DEADLY harm to .....

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (back to the year 187 to be more specific)

[Master] How many questions do you get?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (four)

[Master] and laughs that it is easier to predict love than if you will die

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Maybe we need more input for questions?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (shhh she thinks so!)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Did anyone ever play the game Ask Zandar? This feels a lot like that.)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (didn't say long lasting :P)

Raelynn (Carissa) stands up and brushes herself off

[Raelynn (Carissa)] One second, Susan.

Raelynn (Carissa) walks closer to the gate

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWJDAOlBO_A )

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hey, anyone have a good way to ask if Susan and her friends will be okay if they leave here?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] All I'm getting are vague answer from the future. This is so much harder than asking about love!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (based on icon positions, maybe the overheard it all?)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I am not well versed in the practice of divination. From watching priests casting speak with dead spells I have seen in those cases questions need to be specific and relatively simple. But I am not an expert

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Would you want to ask the mage inside for advice?

Raelynn (Carissa) shakes head

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I told him Mig disintegrated so that he wouldn't try to leave.

Howard Plum (Lisa) nods

[Raelynn (Carissa)] At least not until Branwyn gets here and figures out what to do about him. He definitely looked scared hearing that.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (sorry feel like I've done a lot of the talking tonight, trying to give you all a break from it and some input)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (this has been good! If you have 2 more questions might as well use them)

[Master] Go OOC if needed to figure out what else you want answers to

[Master] and figure out if you have enough to go back to Branwyn with

[Master] brb

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (I gave my idea OOC but not sure if it will work)

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Why do we need more information to take back to Branwyn?)

[Carissa] Not for Branwyn, just for Susan.

[Carissa] I agree Bob's point and your question, Lisa, are good.

[Carissa] I mean I suppose Rae could just have an epiphany if needed

[Lemon] I mean I know we're only asking the future for Susan, but people keep saying we need to know things to tell Branwyn. Won't she just trust y'all that she needs to come talk to this weirdo?

[Lisa] will the act of passing the gate kill Susan?

[Carissa] Likely too broad. She'll die at some point :)

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lisa] lol Lemon

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (but the act of crossing isn't the cause

[Carissa] Susan was just a side thing until ultimately we get Branwyn here

[Carissa] Technically no rush, but if she has two more questions left, might as well use them today/now/whenever

[Lisa] will Susan die within 10 seconds of crossing the gate? :)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (ol)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (LOL)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (stupid keyboard)

[Carissa] lol

[Carissa] All right, I guess something along the lines of, "Will crossing this gate cause immediate, deadly harm to Susan?"

[Lisa] I think you have enough for Branwyn - and whether you did or not, she will want to meet a powerful mage no matter the circumstances

[Lisa] that sounds good to me Carissa

[Carissa] If this one works well enough, then we can move on from here

Raelynn (Carissa) walks back over and sits back down with Brer and the sword

[Raelynn (Carissa)] "Will crossing this gate cause immediate, deadly harm to Susan?"

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn casts a spell against : Augury: I ask a question about a future task and receive a reply with (70+5) 75% certainty.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (d100) [1d100=38] 38

[Master] "Death comes to all who cross, all die in their own time

[Lisa] (no fair - it sidestepped the question)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] "Death comes to all who cross, all die in their own time."

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (fortune tellers do that)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hmm... but their OWN time....

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (these magic 8 balls suck)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Answer unclear - ask again)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hmm, okay, so we crossed. Yes, we'll all die at some point but we didn't die when we crossed. We ended up back in OUR time. So.... I think that may mean she'll be in HER time?

[Lisa] (I don't have any better ideas except maybe have someone try exiting the gate ON the horse :) )

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (animal testing part two!)

[Lisa] (horse seems immune to even Mist sickness)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (it got some fancy new digs, too!)

[Lemon] (lol! The only thing I can think is asking what time Susan would go back to, but I assume that would be vague as well)

[Lisa] what year?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (We all return to our own time)

[Lisa] yeah

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (We return to the year of importance)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (man Bob has the easy job here)

Raelynn (Carissa) stands up again, dusts herself off

[Lemon] Do we know that we can't get someone into our time with us?

Raelynn (Carissa) turns to Susan

[Raelynn (Carissa)] So, you may encounter possible harm, you'll find your own fate, and we'll all die eventually in our own time.

Raelynn (Carissa) sighs, "I can't think a better way to get you a more exact answer."

[Lisa] (we were hoping Mig would be on the other side of the gate and he disappeared so I don't think that is possible)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I can ask one more question today, but Divination is just so...

Raelynn (Carissa) flails hands in frustration

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Will I start aging if I leave here?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Maybe you want me to ask about your love life? I'm better at that.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh, I can ask that if you want.

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I have not aged

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Time is the same,

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I can ask that, but if you still want to know of any romantic interest after, let me know!

Raelynn (Carissa) sits back down

[Raelynn (Carissa)] This is killing my knees...

Raelynn (Carissa) touches sword and asks

[Raelynn (Carissa)] "Will Susan start aging if she leaves here?"

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn casts a spell against : Augury: I ask a question about a future task and receive a reply with (70+5) 75% certainty.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (d100) [1d100=3] 3

[Susan Delgado (Master)] "Everyone ages where they are, everyone ages to catch up to now"

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] That sounds like it may be bad

[Lemon] Yeahhhh, that sounds like disintegrating to me

[Raelynn (Carissa)] "Everyone ages where they are, everyone ages to catch up to now."

[Lisa] (lemon are you IC or OCC? it helps me to know when I format the chat)

Raelynn (Carissa) frowns

Raelynn (Carissa) shakes her head and stands up

Raelynn (Carissa) repeats it to Susan

[Lemon] ooc

[Lemon] currently

[Lisa] (thx!)

[Master] In FGU you can type then hold the Shift key down when you hit Enter to go OOC

[Master] We will experiment with that soon

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (woo! party!)

[Lisa] (lol)

Susan Delgado (Master) listens and thinking about what Rae said

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Susan... I think you might start aging no matter what. It kind of sounded like it from the riddles Amageing was saying

[Susan Delgado (Master)] Do you think I will age to catch up all at once?

[Susan Delgado (Master)] I do not feel older than yesterday

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) shrugs "I don't know for sure, but to me it sounds like you might if you left."

Susan Delgado (Master) pats the horse

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I don't know. Aging is already weird for me. I haven't a clue for you.

[Susan Delgado (Master)] So Pylon would age and catch up to when he was

Brer Necholas (TMO) shrugs. "I'm afraid I don't have any guidance for you either."

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Maybe we SHOULD do animal testing... the rats won't have as long as a lifespan as horses?"

[Raelynn (Carissa)] This horse? Oh, he already left and came back again!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] His tack changed, though.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Oh jeez... did we just insta-age the horse?)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (either it's a new horse or he survived)

[Master] How long do horses live?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (horses don't live 100+ years, lol)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (In captivity? 30s, usually)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Not even in D&D?)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I mean there's no chocolate and science doesn't matter so...)

[Master] Also did the tack change? or you just did not check on it prior to leading it out

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (When Rae checked, the tack was more modern)

[Master] yes

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (so changed or not, it's of "this time", yes?)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Because I was thinking if the horse went out, aged up to the current time, then came back in older... )

[Master] yes

[Master] Lemon might be right

[Master] it would depend on when the horse came in

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (So if we try with a rat... I mean I guess it depends on when the rats got there)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (there are some bats inside)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Yeah but those definitely just got there lol)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (but they were summoned within the bubble)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I really have no idea, just throwing stuff out there)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (well Susan has her answers, if she wants to experiment or ask more questions another day, she can)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (makes sense to me)

[Master] OH Oh

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (we at least know we're fine, NPCs can make decisions for themselves :P)

[Master] TMO thinks this all makes sense

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I'd say he's drunk, but he doesn't really drink. CO poisoning maybe?))

[Master] Also forgot that you should tune in on Tuesday afternoon 4PM EDT TMO will be on my Creation Station Monthly show talking about Genealogy

[Master] It will go up live on Facebook later that evening also

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (Toastmasters, don't fail me now)

[Lisa] nice

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (oooh awesome!)

[Master] Yeah he will be appearing with the Head of the Board that certifies Genealogists

[Master] She is out of DC

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (super cool!)

[Brer Necholas (TMO)] (She's the Expert Guest, I am the Amateur Everyman)

[Master] This is true

[TMO] it will be interesting

[TMO] it's only 45 minutes, so it won't be anything *too* detailed

[Master] https://broward.webex.com/broward/onstage/g.php?PRID=174c14821340af04d4638d3c75167f22

[Master] BUT I want to be sure you are ready tonight

[Master] after this you have 1 mining encounter, 1 misc. encounter and then for the birthday game sessions the last road construction encounter

[Carissa] I want to ask how a road encounter takes 12 hours, but then again Hourglass is taking forever.

[TMO] I don't have anything particular to add to tonight's session

[Master] grins

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I blame it on the mage

[Lisa] I read it as the road encounter is Friday that will lead to whatever happens on Saturday

[Master] nods

[Carissa] Branwyn can visit and do her thing. NPCs can decide their own fate. That's where I'm at

[Carissa] Ahh good point forgot about Friday before Saturday, lol

[Lisa] and who is involved with the road? Mr. Silver Dragon ...

[Lemon] whoops that was ooc, unchecked the wrong box

[Lisa] my guess

[Carissa] A good guess

[Master] only 2 sessions to clean everything up

[Master] after those two session, then the birthday game weekend

[TMO] and then they lived happily ever after

[Master] then I want to move to the new Era

[Carissa] Oh forgot I may be late next two Fridays

[Carissa] Parents visiting

[Master] HAH a likely story

[Master] If your parents really were visiting you would want to be here to avoid them ;)

[Carissa] Probably not late late, but maybe an hour. Depends on them and if other relatives come over

[Carissa] lol actually parents are good, it's the rest of the family I usually try to avoid :)

[Master] So are you saying that Hourglass is done?

[Master] you want Branwyn to come talk with the mage but other than that you are finished?

[Carissa] Yes to Branwyn

[TMO] I think so, at least from my perspective

[Master] We can continue now or next week

[Carissa] Depends on what the mage says, and what the others do on if that's done

[Master] if you think of other things

[Carissa] But for tonight, at least, I'm tired of experimenting and questioning the future.

[Carissa] So if Branwyn wants her time now, or next week, doesn't matter to me.

[Lemon] Yeah I honestly am ready for bed. I haven't been feeling 100%, worried I'm coming down with a cold or something

[Lisa] I don't think it will take too horribly long. we assume everyone told Branwyn everything so will not need to rehash that

[TMO] don't

[Lisa] for next week

[Lisa] then can move on to an encounter after the Branwyn thing

[Carissa] Yeah, I'm fine with saying she knows all the things

[Lisa] she needs to identify the ring

[Master] nods and time is squishy right now grins

[Lisa] talk to mage but not rehash it all

[Master] yes

[Lisa] over the week I will try to think about what to do with him

[Lisa] I have a thought ... but might not be a nice thing

[TMO] you the boss

[TMO] like it or not. ;)

[Master] chuckles

[Carissa] My thought was toss him in Amber Prison but apparently that'd kill him, so not worried about not nice, lol

[Master] The Mysterious Et Al

[Lisa] leave the hourglass and teleport him somewhere

[Lisa] see if he makes it

[Carissa] Not a bad thought. He did think the whole time thing might collapse if he left, but I wonder how much of that was to save his hide versus what might be true on that

[Lisa] I don't think it is him

[Lemon] I'm all for kicking him out so Gerry can make a nice living on a tourist town, lol

[Carissa] Same, but magic and time and my brain aren't quite matching up

[Lisa] but if he was alive in 350 (since he made the hourglass in 362) he should not disintegrate (my theory)

[Carissa] Rae can always cast Zone of Truth when Branwyn talks to him if you need

[Lisa] it's the 187 people that could not possibly be alive in 350

[TMO] I'm starting to fade, I'm afraid

[Carissa] Yes which makes sense. I guess for me it's a question of do they just disappear, or do they at least get to go back in time and live out their life?

[TMO] not enough sleep this week, just stayed up too late each night for no good reason

[Carissa] To us, they'd just disappear

[Master] Have a great night TMO

[Carissa] Night TMO

[TMO] talk to you on Teusday

[Lisa] Goodnight!

[TMO] Tuesday

[TMO] that day

[Lemon] It sounds to me like they just disappear. Like there is no "their time" to go back to, they just go outside and instantly age to dust

[Lemon] No idea if that's true or not, but that's what it seems like

[TMO] I've sent the link to my cousins, promised to not embarrass the family, but would have a sword handy to throw myself on if I do

[Carissa] This is partly why I'm writing summaries again, to try to get it all straight in my head and see what I've missed

[Master] LOL

[Lisa] that's what I was thinking

[Lisa] and I appreciate the summaries!

[Master] very much so

[Carissa] lol thanks

[Lemon] Yes! And the chat formatting too. So helpful when I fall asleep before everyone else

[Carissa] at least this got me back into writing them

[Lemon] Goodnight TMO!

[TMO] ciao folks

[TMO] thanks for the game

TMO has left the game on Fri Aug 27 23:25:31 EDT 2021

[Carissa] But yeah, the first two questions made me think not dust, third question maybe dust.

[Carissa] Can always try to think of another question(s) for next week if we want to really be nice to the NPCs

[Lemon] How much do we need to care about what happens to them? :P

[Carissa] Or maybe one will just leave because they'll take their chance again and write on the wall...

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] lol true we don't

[Carissa] just being nice

[Lemon] We did our best, we asked the future, they can do whatever they want now

[Lisa] our characters are nice and care about everyone! :)

[Carissa] *almost everyone

[Lisa] yes

[Carissa] Jerkface is on thin ice for me ;)

[Lemon] Lol, but we tried our best

[Lemon] Yeah, I legitimately don't care what happens to the mage

[Carissa] at least he tried to be kind of nicer this time

[Lisa] did not like him playing with the sand

[Carissa] same

[Lemon] Eventually he's going to get sick from lack of vitamin d

[Lisa] only Johan tried to stop him

[Lisa] lol lemon

[Carissa] hopefully we'll have a good plan for him next week

[Carissa] he needs to stop messing with time and/or sand

[Lisa] will think about it

[Lisa] Ok I'll head out too. Goodnight!!

[Carissa] Night all!

[Master] have a great night

[Lemon] Goodnight everyone!
