[Carissa] Hello

[Master] Hey there

[Carissa] Fiscal year is over. I forgot how much I hate this time of year.

[Master] grins

[Master] mine ended two weeks ago to get things in in time for the end

[Master] and in two weeks I get to start spending again

[Carissa] I get a... two months? Break until we go through this all again. Will they or won't they with the funding.

[Carissa] It's less the fiscal year and more the last minute oh shit what do I need to do now in case I'm furloughed tomorrow?

[Carissa] My supervisor and I make jokes about it, remind each other to ship off whatever random body part samples need shipping so they don't rot in our trucks.

[Carissa] Hi Lisa!

[Lisa] Hello!

[Master] grins

[Master] hello hello hello

[Lisa] setting a reminder for shipping body parts is not strange. Nope

[Master] and laughs with Carissa

[Carissa] lol

[Master] So we will not have Lara for rolls but you can set aside items etc for her to roll later on

[Lisa] list is on the Home Base page

[Lisa] I'm just sad for 2 reasons

[Lisa] 1 - it seems like Lara keeps getting hit with bad things

[Lisa] very hard year for her it seems

[Lisa] 2 - she won't get to learn spells tonights

[Lisa] the appraising is no big deal

[Carissa] She really does

[Lisa] Hi Michael!

[Master] HEY Michael

[Master] very glad you are here

[Michael] Hey guys! :) I do apologize but I'm am pretty damn tired. I'll probably log off about 9 or so bob time

[Carissa] Hi Michael!

[Michael] Also wow. First person happy to see me this week

[Michael] thank you bob

[Master] HAH

[Carissa] Bob time is infinite

[Michael] God I wish it was for me too

[Master] I bet most people are, just they neglect to say it

[Michael] School is back up

[Michael] LOL

[Michael] We'll I'm glad you are happy. What is the best way to start off the evening :)

[Lisa] thought you were done with school and all about the new job. Still doing school?

[Master] starting off the night with everyone making sure they are happy with character sheets, training, things you wanted to do

[Master] we have time

[Michael] Oh god yes. I have a year and half for the Doctorate

[Michael] Sucks

[Michael] The new job is great, just exhausting

[Master] this is the first session of Cosmological Quanadries

[Michael] Sigh

[Michael] I should have guessed bob

[Michael] The names are always so tasteful

[Master] grins

[Master] it will be fun

[Michael] They always are

[Michael] :)

[Michael] I"ve yet to absoultely hate a story arc.

[Michael] (Althoug the Admin stuff was slowly dirivng me insance. I wll give it that)

[Master] Thank you

[Master] and I understand

[Michael] But the story is always pretty damn cool. Can't wait to see the Cosmological. Are we doing the Multiverse yet? ;)

[Master] very soon

[Michael] (Joke? I hope)

[Master] HAH

[Master] just you wait

[Master] Just you wait

[Michael] I will do that

[Michael] What choice do we have??? :)

[Michael] Except to Buckle Up and Pray

[Master] so Carissa and Lisa are in charge of making sure we are moving forward

[Master] ticking off what needs to be done

[Michael] Cool beans. Give me orders task mistresses

[Lisa] I wish more people were here. I think we are okay with most things. Lara had some stuff to do. I wanted to see about who if anybody wanted the new magic items.

[Michael] Got a magical two handed?

[Michael] I missed that part I do believe

[Lisa] I guess Branwyn will do the book thing but that would add another month of idleness

[Michael] Otherwise, I'll keep to my fancy gear

[Lisa] N'laea got the talking sword

[Lisa] Craigh got the magic dice

[Carissa] I refuse to do the talking part of it, though

[Carissa] Was the ink magic? I forget, but makes sense for those two.

[Lisa] Is Craigh taking a henchman? Although I am not sure who follows a one armed book binder :D

[Carissa] lol

[Michael] Yeah, I think talking tot he sword would be just a little bit too much for me

[Michael] LOL

[Lisa] Not magic just super high quality - mages would drool over it

[Michael] Although he/she might become lonely and I would feel ackward if I didnt' talk to them a little :(

[Carissa] And did we roll lfor the nobleman's crest? I don't even remember finding that dagger.

[Lisa] BOB - so INT book after this coming story arc or before?

[Carissa] Ehh too bad the sword is with an elf who doesn't care to talk much. Poor sword.

Lemon has joined the game on Fri Oct 01 19:30:52 EDT 2021

Lemon is receiving the map New Manor...

[Master] Before

Lemon has received the map New Manor.

[Lisa] We found it in a crypt at Skull Church - non magic

[Master] You found it in time

[Lisa] Branwyn has enough daggers

[Carissa] Saw the non magic. But that's likely why I forgot about it. That arc is a blur to me.

[Lisa] So anyone who wants a good quality regular dagger can grab it

[Carissa] Hi Lemon!

[Master] TMO has an idea for a Henchman but it is not coming up right now

[Lisa] Hi Lemon!

[Michael] I don't specialize, but I wouldn't mind caring a backup dagger if you don't mind lisa

[Michael] Just in case someone needs it [Lisa] okay so Branwyn opens INT book and reads it. Shall I go ahead and update her character sheet?

[Michael] (I'm not a hoarder I swear!)

[Lisa] lol

[Lisa] go for it

[Michael] (Cool will add to my sheet)

[Michael (to GM only)] Character sheet for Talwin modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Michael] (WOW on 20000 more till next level. Cool :) )

[Lemon] Hello everyone

[Michael] (I do think TMO's choosing the one-armed book reader is interesting. I mean, I don't know the play, but it still is pretty funny just imagining him with us for all the encounters with his one fisticuff up. Also High Levom :) )

[Michael] *Lemon

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Ability Scores - INT: (I) : CHANGED: 18 (17). Reason: (RE) : CHANGED: 18 (17). Max Spell Level:: CHANGED: 9 (8). Max Spells/Level:: CHANGED: UNL (14). Knowledge: (KN) : CHANGED: 18 (17). % Chance Learn Spell:: CHANGED: 95 (85).

[Master] Yes to LIsa

[Carissa] I like that TMO made 5 STR mean one arm. I let Shi keep both hers, lol

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] Bixi wields spears if we want to take advantage of that now or else something to keep in mind later

[Carissa] No one who uses shields now though, right?

[Lisa] I think it's a fun character too. Just picturing the whole henchman loyalty thing. Maybe this henchman is from his past and knew him when he had 2 arms and so they have a past together

[Carissa] Yeah, curious what henchman concept he'll end up with

[Michael] lol

[Michael] Some huge brute that he rides into battle

[Lisa] Anyone object to giving the boots to Lanek?

[Lisa] I just want to smother Lanek with love and watch him squirm

[Carissa] No I thought that was a great/funny idea

[Lisa] so we have the polishing cloth, rod of strength and teleport dart

[Michael] Fine with me

[Michael] Wait...a teleport...dart?

[Michael] So many quesitons

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

[Michael] :)

[Carissa] A one way ticket to Paradise. Or hell. Or who knows.

[Master] grins at Michael

[Master] see you need to read the chat

[Lisa] random teleport if you get hit with it

[Michael] (I certainly don't disagree bob! LOL)

[Carissa] I kinda wanna experiment with the cloth, but figure anyone who wants to use it can use it

[Lisa] don't want to fight manticore? hit it and watch it disappear

[Michael] (Random huh? Can you stick me with it? I'm curious where i'll end up)

[Lemon] I do not want anything that has any kind of responsibility attached to it lol

[Michael] (LOL. It teleports behind you)

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] I mean, yes, you can, but doesn't mean you want to end up where you teleport :)

[Lisa] it is random and there is no ticket home

[Carissa] Unless you know teleport, but you gotta survive, first.

[Michael] (At the very end, when Talwin finally snaps, totally stick him with it. Shoot, as long as I don't end up at the bottom of the ocean, that is one hell of an adventure that I think would be terribly fun. Even if offline)

[Michael] (Actually, i'm sorry. The more I think about it, that just sounds like an awesome premise for a fantasy novel)

[Carissa] Better to be bottom of the ocean or 1000 feet in the sky?

[Carissa] You're good at diving, right?

[Michael] (Eh, at least with 1000 feet, I ahve the opportunity to get a good look at my surroundings before I hit the deck. At the bottom of the Ocean I just implode into a bloody mist)

[Carissa] Positive thinking!

[Michael] I aim to please LOL!

[Lisa] If no one else wants the cloth, go ahead and take it Carissa

[Carissa] Schweet. I'll happily hand it off later if someone else wants a turn with it.

[Lisa] I am not thrilled with the rubbing takes 1 rd for a 1 rd return on investment

[Carissa] But I'm hoping I can polish those arrows early morning or something and see how long it lasts... or during watches or something

[Lisa] anyone not have a magic weapon?

[Carissa] Flaming swords counts as magic, right Bob?

[Master] grisn yes

[Lisa] Lemon - does Bixi have a magic weapon?

[Lemon] I don't think so

[Carissa] Okay because the spell isn't... quite but if you say yes, I'm taking it :)

[Lisa] Would you like the Rod of STR?

[Lemon] I don't know, would I?

[Lisa] Sometimes you can only hit with a magic weapon

[Carissa] Spear?

[Michael] ONly if it works like Legend of Zelda

[Lisa] would leave you only with spells

[Michael] oh no. That was Rod of Fire/Ice

[Michael] My bad

[Lisa] is that a human size spear or a gnome size spear?

[Michael] Snort

[Master] Human sized

[Master] for Bixi

[Lisa] Indigo can only use certain sized weapons

[Master] which means she needs to use two hands

[Carissa] Well that's entertaining to imagine

[Master] just like Indigo would have to

[Lisa] but I think she could handle a magic rod

[Master] and yes to magical rods

[Lisa] why Indigo uses short swords :)

[Carissa] Yeah I don't think she specialized...? I just know there were the two spears still in home base.

[Carissa] Although rereading I think one is only magical against Bullywugs

[Lisa] she isn't proficiient but the +2 would help with that

[Carissa] Whoops missed the +2. That's nice.

[Lisa] Think Bixi should have a magic weapon and can add to her STR 3x a day

[Lemon] If you think it would be best for me to have it, I will take it. I'm still learning, so I'm taking advice

[Carissa] I think that'd be fine

[Carissa] And when TMO is here, you can ask him nicely to add it to your sheet. Or not nicely. Up to you :P

[Master] Michael you have a message ringing for you

[Lisa] that leaves the teleport dart

[Carissa] STR or DEX based? Or does it matter?

[Michael] Ah, my sound is off. Thanks bob

[Carissa] Actually...

[Carissa] Indigo? He normally rolls first. And can stab someone if needed, right?

[Lisa] think Talwin or Indigo if Michael doesn't want the responsibility

[Carissa] Agree

[Lisa] sure

[Carissa] Wait wait

[Carissa] If Indigo gets swallowed, and stabs from the inside, is he teleported with the monster?

[Master] YOu have to wait to find out

[Lisa] my guess would be yes

[Carissa] LOL please don't test that out then

[Carissa] I was hoping it was his get out of being eaten free card

[Michael] I want to carry the dar...

[Michael] t

[Lisa] I promise I will not teleport dart something from its insides

[Michael] I want it badly

[Michael] Oh sorry LIsa, NM

[Michael] I missed htat lol

[Lisa] You can have it

[Michael] All yours :)

[Carissa] Either of you is fine. But remember: dart from the inside you might go with it :)

[Lisa] It was either Talwin or Indigo - we probably have best chance of hitting with it

[Carissa] At least if it was in a house, you'd get shelter there

[Lisa] like wizard of Oz

[Lisa] house spinning up and away

[Carissa] lol exactly!

[Master] and also WELCOME to Lemon, your first night as an official Dragonslayer

[Lisa] Yay!

[Carissa] Woo!

[Michael] :O

[Michael] :)

[Lemon] Wait what? How?

[Michael] Congrats!

[Carissa] Magic.

[Lisa] Now for the branding ceremony

[Michael] You didn't make us all hate you. You automatically win! :)

[Carissa] lol

[Master] LOL to Michael and Lisa

[Lemon] Lol, what happens if I do that now?

[Michael] ...Nothing?

[Carissa] We got a teleporting dart

[Michael] You look good?

[Lemon] hahaha

[Lisa] BOB - how many potions of health did Shi and Branwyn make - Shi really. Branwyn was just hunting components

[Lisa] since we tend to get poisoned a lot

[Master] It depends on the potion

[Carissa (to GM only)] Character sheet for N'laea modified:

[Master] and a random number

[Carissa] Potion of Healing, I'd imagine

[Lisa] thought it was health

[Carissa] Oh probably. I get those confused

[Lisa] healing is just healing and doesn't do the poison thing

[Carissa] Yes health

[Lisa] Craigh also does not have a magic weapon

[Lisa] He can look at the weapons list or borrow Branwyn's dagger if he needs one

[Carissa] I almost want to suggest the net, but don't know how good one handed he could use it

[Lisa] random number between what and what?

[Carissa] Also not sure if I was rolling something, but holy water can also be given for poison. Much faster though I don't know potency factors.

[Master] checking you

[Lisa] nice. I did not know that

[Lisa] can Shi's holy water work without her?

[Master] The chance to successfully brew a potion is 70%, +1% for every level of the creator, and –1% for each 100 gp the potion costs (detailed on Table 23). The DM should make this check in secret, since on a natural roll of 96 or higher the process fails, and the potion is cursed in some way (typically, it becomes a potion of poison or delusion instead of what it should be). Each vial holds a quarter pint of liquid (4 oz or 7.25 cubic inches) and costs 5 gp.

[Master] Double checking time

[Carissa] I kept forgetting to mention holy water. My bad. Also Shi wasn't there when I remembered, lol

[Master] 1 day per 100 GP of value

[Master] Potion of Healing is 400 GP

[Lisa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Master] Sorry that was a Potion of Health

[Master] not Healing

[Carissa] Shi will make however many they want and she has time to make

[Master] 4 days per Potion of Health, you had 3 weeks so I will say you created 7 of them

[Master] looking at the cost of that now

[Lisa] Branwyn can duplicate them

[Carissa] Nicee

[Master] Also remember I need to make the rolls for sucess

[Carissa] Thought it was more than three weeks, but 7 is a nice amount hopefully

[Lisa] Branwyn happily duplicates the cursed potions

[Carissa] lol

[Master] 70% + 1% per level of creator -??% for the potion costs

[Lisa] Dying? Here drink this :)

[Carissa] 79

[Lisa] -4 if potion costs 400 gp

[Lisa] so 75% chance

[Lisa] I am just all over the maths stuff lately :)

[Carissa] Hey Shi believes in pallatative care. You want to die faster? Here you go!

[Carissa] lol you are!

TMO has received the map New Manor.

[Lisa] Hi TMO!

[Lisa] how's the car?

[Carissa] Hi TMO!

[Master] TMO welcome to Lemon our newest Dragonslayer

[TMO] the general consensus is it's a sensor, but it's not fixed yet

[TMO] do I have to?

[TMO] :P

[Lisa] better than an oil leak

[TMO] yes

[Carissa] So as I said Lemon, you don't have to ask TMO nicely to add that club to your sheet.

TMO pounces on Lemon

[Lemon] lol, sorry, i was getting food out of the oven

[Lemon] TMO pretty please

[TMO] although, tbh, it would have been quicker if it had been a loose oil filter or soemthing. would have been fixed first stop. Instead of not fixed after 3 stops

[TMO] sure, what am I adding?

[Carissa] Rod of Strength, acts as Club +2 when wielding

[Carissa] So... both as magic item and weapon, I'm guessing?

[TMO] to bixi, right?

[Lisa] oh Bob since the it weapon is a magic rod that *acts* like a +2 club does it matter that she is not proficient with a club?

[Carissa] Also if Craigh wants anything speak up now

[Carissa] Bixi yes

[TMO] Bucky's vibranium arm?

[Master] Yes it matter if not proficient still have the negative to weapon use

[Lisa] it's not an actual club

[Master] but it still is a magic item to hit

[Carissa] Haven't found a magic arm yet, sorry.

[Lisa] I tried

[Lisa] I didn't realize Craigh doesn't have a magic weapon. He can take anything from home base or he can borrow a dagger from Branwyn if we get into magic weapon situations

[Master] AHH yes a Rod does not need a weapon proficeiency to use

[Lisa] AHA!

[Carissa] lol!

[Michael] LOL

[Carissa] Very nice catch

[TMO] oh, that's good, so I don't have to add the non-proficiency penalty then?

[TMO] does it do the same damages as a club?

[TMO] just with +2 added?

[Michael] He just kind of waves in the general direction and it somehow happens :)

[Master] yes to TMO

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for Bixi Fizzlebang modified:

[Lisa] Lemon, you will need to think of a command word to activate the STR action for the rod

[TMO] Bixi Fizzlebang: Damage v SM: Rod of Strength: ((1d6)+2) [1d6=4] 6 [MODIFIED (+2)]

[TMO] Bixi Fizzlebang: Attack: Rod of Strength: ((18-(d20+0))-2) [1d20=7] 9 [MODIFIED (-2)]

[Carissa] Can be anything your heart desires

[Lisa] Steroidicus Maximus

[TMO] Boogie Snarfalingdong

[Michael] lol

[Michael] what what?

[Carissa] lol

[Lisa] thanks for fixing the weapon stuff TMO :)

[TMO] easy peasy

[TMO] what next?

[Lemon] Thank you TMO!

[Michael] (Don't know how we do it without TMO...Well, and bob of course :) )

[Lisa] does Craigh want any of the weapons on home base page to take?

[TMO] lemme take a look at em

[TMO] he has almost no WPs

[Lemon] My magic word is obviously going to be TeeEmOh

[Lisa] :D

[Master] grins

[TMO] a noble word, very powerful

[Carissa] With this club, they say if you speak the command word three times in a row, it'll summon a giant.

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] So we have 14 Potions of Health of which some may be of negative health, yes?

[Master] Yes

[Lisa] The odds are in our favor that they will work

[Carissa] Nice. Feel free to test them if needed, lol. Shi will claim a distracted mind and she's mostly sure they'll work. Probably.

[Carissa] Or she'll just blame Thistle for them maybe not working

[Lisa] lol

[Lisa] So I think we're doing pretty well for loose ends

[Lisa] Anything else?

[TMO] Craigh has no skill with any of the weapons in the Home Base

[Carissa] Not that I could think of

[Lisa] true but sometimes you need a magic weapon and you never know

[Lisa] he can borrow Bran's magic dagger if we run into weird things that may need it

[TMO] well, he can carry the glowing short spear I suppose. Use it as a walking stick

[Lisa] she still has a silver one and a cold pressed iron one

[TMO] Bob - is short spear in the weapons alowed for thieves?

[TMO] I want to say yes, but not sure

[Lemon] does my magic weapon have limited uses like a wand?

[Master] no

[TMO] what effect does the Rod of Strength have if she uses the power?

[Master] magic weapons are permanent

[Carissa] Nice

[TMO] you forgot the word 'usually' in that sentence Bob. :P

[Lisa] +2 STR for 1 turn on command

[Lisa] so if she has it at her side and gets held by something she can touch and command and then get that bonus to try to break free

[Lisa] Arm wrestle Talwin

TMO has edited Bixi Fizzlebang's effects.

[Michael] ...

[Lemon] lol

[Carissa] lol

[Michael] Yeah fight the cripple

TMO has edited Bixi Fizzlebang's effects.

[TMO] Bixi Fizzlebang: Damage v SM: Rod of Strength: ((1d6)+2) [1d6=4] 6 [MODIFIED (+2)]

[Carissa] We normally save it for when we're in mortal danger, but I suppose arm wrestling otherwise isn't a problem

[Lisa] lol

[TMO] ah, her strength isn't high enough to get a damage bonus

TMO has edited Bixi Fizzlebang's effects.

[TMO] Ok, Lemon, right click on Bixi and find the Modify Effects ption

[Lisa] I think I have heard that on some planes only magic weapons will work

[Lisa] so it will be good if everyone has something just in case

[TMO] I've added a Rod of Strength effect to her, so when you click it Active, it will add 2 to her Strength

[Lemon] ohhh

[Lisa] If lanek's boots are magic can he kick people?

[TMO] then just click it off active when you're done

[Lemon] how do i click it active?

[Lisa] like a fist attack but with feet

[TMO] there's an Active check box in the row

[TMO] then click Done

[Lemon] Oh, yep, I see it now, thank you

[Carissa] Last check for me, flame stats for sword? Is it +4 to hits (+2 if not vulnerable)?

[TMO] go ahead and turn it on, then check her Dice Panel to see that it's raised her STR to a 12

Lemon has edited Bixi Fizzlebang's effects.

[Master] Yes to Carissa

[Lemon] Ok, so I didn't check what it was before so...

[TMO] better be a 10

[TMO] :P

[TMO] turn it off again and check

[Lemon] I think it says 12?

Lemon has edited Bixi Fizzlebang's effects.

[Lemon] yep, ten now

[Carissa (to GM only)] Character sheet for N'laea modified: Weapons - CHANGED: Long Sword, Flaming -- Magical Adj: +2 (0),

[TMO] perfectomundo

[Carissa] N'laea: Attack: Long Sword, Flaming: ((13-(d20+0))+2-1) [1d20=12] 2 [MODIFIED (-1)]

[Carissa] Oh wait, it's only +4 for damage.

[Carissa] This is why TMO does the weapon stuff

[Carissa (to GM only)] Character sheet for N'laea modified: Weapons - CHANGED: Long Sword, Flaming -- Magical Adj: +0 (+2), CHANGED: Long Sword, Flaming -- Damage v SM: 1d8+4 (1d8), CHANGED: Long Sword, Flaming -- Damage v L: 1d12+4 (1d12),

[Carissa] N'laea: Damage v SM: Long Sword, Flaming: (1d8+4) [1d8=6] 10

[Carissa] N'laea: Damage v L: Long Sword, Flaming: (1d12+4) [1d12=7] 11

[TMO] Carissa, the Magical Attack adjustment needs to be -2

[TMO] stupid Klooge maths

[Carissa (to GM only)] Character sheet for N'laea modified: Weapons - CHANGED: Long Sword, Flaming -- Magical Adj: -2 (+0),

[Carissa] N'laea: Attack: Long Sword, Flaming: ((13-(d20+0))-2-1) [1d20=4] 6 [MODIFIED (-1)]

[TMO] there you go

[Carissa] If those are the right stats. Think that's right.

[Carissa] Also always confuse minus and add. Oh well.

[TMO] it *should* be +2, but the parentheses are in the wrong place in the program

[TMO] so we have to do a +2 to hit as -2

[TMO] reverse the polarity

[Carissa] So we do still need you for at the the kLoOge specific math...

[Carissa] *at least

[TMO] oh, I never worry about being disposable.

[Michael] Is...thjat a self-burn there bud?

[Michael] I care about you being disposable...

[TMO] nope. I'm indispensable and I know it

[Master] grins

[Michael] er

[Michael] As long as in game

[Michael] Otherwise i'm driving to Texas

TMO chuckles

[TMO] you can help me clean up my office

[TMO] I've got a ton of junk in piles

[Michael] Hey any excuse to see you again. Don't want t owait another...10 years? for the next major bob get together

[Master] Michael did you watch the Creation Station Monthly from August that TMO did on Geneology for the library?

[Master] 30th anniversary is coming up May of 2023

[Michael] Not yet. I probably have it in my backlog. Been a hella busy couple months

[Michael] I'll start planning for airfare. Assuming our Virus hasn't killed us all. I gots my Vaccine

[Master] less than 24 months away

[TMO] Bob - can you create a blank char for my possible hench? So I can play with stuffs

[Michael] I call a bedrrom this time unless you are already booked out

[Michael] Or a cot

[Michael] A cot is fine

[TMO] air mattress

[Master] and Lemon, yes everyone came to my house for the 25th anniversary game, we were all in the one room and still played on Klooge

[Michael] Hell, the backyard is sutable as long as the Gators aren't out in force

[TMO] for when you want to sleep on the floor, but not just yet...

[Master] from all over the Country

[Master] Just you wait

[Master] I have the Manor up and I am ready for a Morning Meeting

[Carissa] It's fine. Lisa can pack all the things. Does that include a wagon?

[Master] weirdly no wagon this time

[Carissa] I'm sure we can find one. They can't be cursed on all the planes, right?

[Lisa] we arrive in hell with a wagon - I would love that

[Master] grins

[Carissa] Forget hell in a handbasket. We got a wagon!

[Lisa] lol

[Master] WOW

[Lisa] that was good!

[Carissa] :)

[TMO] I'd go for it

[Master] and added Quote

[TMO] deservedly so

[Master] I await your brilliance

[Lemon] lol!

[Carissa] lmao

[Carissa] Off to a good start!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning Nevin

[Master] It is the morning everyone has new spells, fully healed etc.

[Master] Steward Nevin Ognorn moved 8'08".

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] Good Morning Branwyn

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] How are you today?

[Lemon] afk for a just a few minutes

[Lemon] I am away from the keyboard.

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] ( I do think Lisa is checking spells)

[Master] I saw no worries

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (i was assuming N'laea or Raelynn was holding the gown - we can put it in the scroll if we have time)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I am hoping if we don't the party pack can travel with us as is)

[TMO] Bob - did you see my request for a character sheet above? so I can play around?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Very good Nevin. Hopefully it will be a light meeting today.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (everyone is here to talk if you want)

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I only have two things for you

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] The rest can wait till tomorrow

Craigh (TMO) eats a scone

[Carissa] (Raelynn can hold onto it)

[Carissa] (And got food now, so fully here)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That sounds promising

[Carissa (to GM only)] Character sheet for Raelynn modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] The first and most important is Yellen

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] ( and a quirkly song to go with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bgikOGb0rw )

[Indigo (Lisa)] No Yellin' in the house Nevin!

Indigo (Lisa) grins

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I have brought forth Yellen, the werewolf

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] (and WOW to Lisa)

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's what Nanny Gothawk is always saying

[Carissa] (lol)

[Master] Nanny Gothhawk moved 8'07".

[Nanny Gothhawk (Master)] Indigo, if I did not say it so many times you would not remember it

[Indigo (Lisa)] I didn't know you were talking to me!

Indigo (Lisa) laughs

[Demitrius (Master)] Yelling indoors is a sign we are not in control

Demitrius (Master) rolls his eyes

[Demitrius (Master)] (as only a 5 year old can)

Dahlia (Master) casts voice behind Nevin, See you have to talk quietly

[Dahlia (Master)] (as only a 6 year old older sister can torment her brother)

Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master) swallows

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You were saying, Nevin?

[Jilly (Master)] They need to start having adventures

Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master) coughs

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] As I was starting this morning Branwyn

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] Yellen is here to meet with you

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] Jilly and Thistle brought him in from the Wood

[Master (to GM only)] Yellen moved 22'05".

[Master (to GM only)] Yellen targets N'laea. Distance: 4'07"

[Master (to GM only)] Yellen targets Emerald. Distance: 5'00"

[Master (to GM only)] Yellen targets Raelynn. Distance: 5'05"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The werewolf? All right.

[Yellen (Master)] Yes "the werewolf" because no one thinks of me any other way

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thought his name was Matthew)

Yellen (Master) barely controls a low growl

[Yellen (Master)] (explore that idea)

[Lemon] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning Yellen. It is nice to meet you. I am sorry for that. I am afraid many of us are "known" for our key attributes. I did not mean to infer that was your only one.

[Yellen (Master)] Good Morning Countess

[Yellen (Master)] I was asked to present my self to you "when I was most respoectable", looks at Thistle,

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Thistle is there?)

[Yellen (Master)] and so I am here to ask your permission to stay in Dragon Fen

[Yellen (Master)] (of course it is a morning meeting)

[Thistle (Carissa)] (lol I lost track by now who is where when)

[Thistle (Carissa)] It's what grown-ups do!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Also you HAD to stop teasing the wolves. That wasn't nice.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are alone? Where are you from?

[Yellen (Master)] I am younger than you are!

[Thistle (Carissa)] And I'm older than Shi thinks! That's why we have to act grown up!

[Yellen (Master)] (grins Thistle is facing her own crisis, SIX years have passed)

[Yellen (Master)] I am alone

[Thistle (Carissa)] (and she's got an elf still treating her like a kid; poor girl has a complex)

[Yellen (Master)] my family was killed by hunters in the deep swamps

[Yellen (Master)] I came north

[Thistle (Carissa)] Well then ya gotta make friends.

[Yellen (Master)] I had heard that there were friends in the Doeskin Estates

[Yellen (Master)] but I was sidetracked here in the Woods

[Yellen (Master)] by an unexpected pack

[Thistle (Carissa)] They aren't YOUR pack.

[Yellen (Master)] They are now

[Thistle (Carissa)] Nu uh. They're Shi's pack and as long as they're here she's here so they're hers.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Has Shi met Yellen?

Yellen (Master) sneers If your Elf friend had really cared about them she would have stayed or taken them with her,

[Yellen (Master)] they know I will not leave them

Thistle (Carissa) rolls eyes

[Thistle (Carissa)] She knows they hate the city. And besides, Kel was here.

[Yellen (Master)] Do you need a demonstration?

Thistle (Carissa) frowns, and whispers to Branwyn, "I'm gonna punch here in a minute."

Yellen (Master) looks at Branwyn

[Thistle (Carissa)] *her

[Yellen (Master)] I have not met Shi the Elf yet

[Yellen (Master)] I have been told of her by the wolves

[Thistle (Carissa)] That's cause you haven't given her reason to meet her. And it's NOT because she doesn't exist if some idiot told you that.

[Yellen (Master)] Anor was most distressed to be abandoned

Yellen (Master) looks at Thistle, what are you talking about?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Then I think it is premature for you to attempt to take her pack

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah, we all were! But now Shi is back AND she brought a... friend!

[Yellen (Master)] The Elf was here, left

[Yellen (Master)] The Elf came back

[Thistle (Carissa)] And Kel was probably minutes from shooting you if you tried to steal them!

[Yellen (Master)] If the Elf wants to challenge me for leadership of the pack she can

Thistle (Carissa) louder, "Seriously. I'm gonna punch her."

[Thistle (Carissa)] Kel is part of the pack, too. He woulda killed you if you tried ot steal them.

[Yellen (Master)] I am here because I wanted to meet with the Countess and confirm that I woudl live by her rules

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yellen, these wolves will always be wolves. They will never be like you. They will not be suitable long term companions for you

[Yellen (Master)] and that I would not abandon the pack

[Thistle (Carissa)] And they aren't yours!

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yeah you will. You'll die before them at this rate.

[Thistle (Carissa)] And you'll put YOUR needs before theirs.

[Thistle (Carissa)] And that is NOT a good pack leader.

Yellen (Master) looks at Thistle, then call for them, let us hear your howl

[Thistle (Carissa)] If you don't understand that, you're a lost cause. Go back to your swamps.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] LADIES

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is not productive.

Yellen (Master) bows to Branwyn

Thistle (Carissa) bites tongue but continues to glare

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] As I said this was the most important thing for you

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would allow you to stay here if there were certain conditions about hunting and so forth. But I am concerned that in the long run you would not be happy here.

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I was not happy being hunted

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] here I would not be if you give your blessing

[Thistle (Carissa)] (By Jilly? Yeah, I imagine she went HARD on the courtship)

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I believe that is a positive in my life

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You had originally wished to reach the Doeskin Estates.

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I had thought that I would seek some other Therians

[Thistle (Carissa)] (Still Nevin speaking ;) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes)

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] (thanks)

[Yellen (Master)] I was not happy being hunted

[Yellen (Master)] here I would not be if you give your blessing

[Yellen (Master)] I believe that is a positive in my life

[Yellen (Master)] I had thought that I would seek some other Therians

[Thistle (Carissa)] But stealing is a crime. You can be hunted for that.

[Yellen (Master)] But now I am happy to have a pack

[Thistle (Carissa)] Actually, kidnapping. And that's even WORSE of a crime.

[Yellen (Master)] It is not stealing to take over as the leader of a pack that has been abandoned

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We are friends with Countess Marisu Doeskin. I could send word to Ilero to arrange for a safe escort for you if you wish to continue with your current plan and find others that are like yourself.

Thistle (Carissa) prepares to retort, glances at Branwyn, and tries REALLY hard not to say anything

[Thistle (Carissa)] Yes! Yes that is a good plan. Off you go! Bye!!

[Yellen (Master)] I will go if that is what you wish

[Yellen (Master)] I only ask that my pack be allowed to come with me

[Yellen (Master)] if they choose me over this ...... human

[Thistle (Carissa)] You do NOT get to take MY FAMILY with you!

[Thistle (Carissa)] And they're Shi's pack and I'm part of her family!

[Thistle (Carissa)] You're so thickheaded!

[Yellen (Master)] No magic spells to cloud their minds

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would like to make arrangements for you that will make you most happy. However, as Thistle says, the pack belongs to Shi'Nynze

[Yellen (Master)] Just the power of the pack

[Yellen (Master)] do you think that you can lead them? better than I can?

[Thistle (Carissa)] No. You don't get to issue such nonsense.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Again. They are SHI'S PACK.

[Yellen (Master)] So you admit that you cannot be part of the pack unless Shi casts her spells for you

[Thistle (Carissa)] She's risked her life for them, and they for her. You're just a little girl who thinks much of herself.

Yellen (Master) smiles showing her teeth brightly

[Thistle (Carissa)] No. I'm part of their pack because I care about them. There are no spells.

Thistle (Carissa) shows off her middle finger

[Lemon] I am back at the keyboard.

[Yellen (Master)] I am content to live in The Wood

[Yellen (Master)] Valoris has been interesting to speak with

[Thistle (Carissa)] You cannot. It isn't your Woods, either.

[Thistle (Carissa)] If you'd been nicer MAYBE but you're a jerk.

[Yellen (Master)] Oh now you think to take the wolves from me, the Wood from Valoris?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Shi is quite powerful. I do not think you wish to challenge her for ones that she loves.

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) whispers to Raelynn "Is that angry person half wolf?"

Raelynn (Carissa) whsipers back, "Which angry one?"

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Because I think they might both be.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] The one who wants the elf to have the pack?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I understand that you have come to like these wolves, but there will be others that will be yours alone. You cannot have these unless Shi'Nynze herself releases them

[Yellen (Master)] Branwyn the Mysterious if I wish to stay here in your Estate I must follow your rules

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Thistle? She never said she was a wolf... but I don't know anymore....

[Yellen (Master)] Yet I am confident in my ability and understanding of the pack

[Thistle (Carissa)] You have to have her blessing to stay here. She hasn't given it.

[Thistle (Carissa)] AND you have to have Shi's blessing to stay in the woods. She's not gonna give it.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Youl will not consider safe passage to Doeskin as a better result?

Yellen (Master) looking at Thistle, first the wolves, then the Wood now you take even the Estate?

[Thistle (Carissa)] That's my woods and MY elf and I'm not sharing!

Yellen (Master) spreads her hands an looks at Branwyn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Kel and Shi are guardians of Valoris Woods. Thistle is attached to them

[Thistle (Carissa)] And if you break her heart by messing with Shi's pack, I'm gonna curse you.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thistle, enough of that please

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No one is cursing anyone

Thistle (Carissa) mutters, "She's making it really hard to be an adult right now."

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Yellen (Master)] I am happy to submit to Branwyn as is suitable

[Yellen (Master)] The Pack shoudl decide if they prefer someone who is here and living with them, over a human or over an elft that abandoned them

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) is scribbling in her notebook about half-wolves and curses

[Craigh (TMO)] Could just do it as a temporary thing, until the elf returns?

[Thistle (Carissa)] Shi's already back. She's been back since FOREVER ago!

[Craigh (TMO)] Oh.

Yellen (Master) looks over to the side where Rae and N'laea are

[Thistle (Carissa)] And she brushed the wolves and brought them presents and brought me presents.

[Craigh (TMO)] Then why not let her and Yellen figure it out?

[Thistle (Carissa)] 'Cause someone's gotta protect Shi and that's me!

[Thistle (Carissa)] And the pack won't leave but if they did then Shi will probably leave again and I can't do that again!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think Shi can handle herself. Besides, Shi might like another guardian for the wolves as long as everyone respects each other.

[Yellen (Master)] I will allow you to join our pack and travel with us if we leave

Thistle (Carissa) points at Yellen, "She lost her family. She should understand that and be nice and find a different family!"

[Yellen (Master)] Which is what I have done

[Thistle (Carissa)] No. You don't get to steal someone else's family.

[Thistle (Carissa)] That makes you no better than whoever killed yours.

[Yellen (Master)] I stepped in to be the leader of a pack that was abandoned

[Thistle (Carissa)] Kel was there! Just because you didn't see him doesn't mean they were abandoned.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Enough bickering. You both make my head hurt.

[Yellen (Master)] I am here because I understand that I need to listen to Branwyn

[Craigh (TMO)] I'm still missing something. If this Shi is here, why can't she and Yellen here solve it themselves?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yellen can stay at the boarding house for now. Thistle, bring Shi here so they can meet and see if they can come to an agreement.

Yellen (Master) bows

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If not, then we will involve Ilero and Shur and they will arrange for safe passage to Doeskin for Yellen and her alone.

[Thistle (Carissa)] Fine. If I can find her, but that might take FOREVER.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Shi is not at the tree house?

Thistle (Carissa) shrugs

[Thistle (Carissa)] Maybe. Or she's at her shrine. Or in the woods. Or with.... ummmmm... someone else.

[Thistle (Carissa)] It's a big wood! It might take forever to find her.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thistle, the longer you take to produce Shi, the longer Yellen will stay with us

[Craigh (TMO)] Wolves can track?

[Yellen (Master)] Certainly

Thistle (Carissa) frowns

Thistle (Carissa) points to Craigh and Yellen

[Thistle (Carissa)] I don't like either of you.

Thistle (Carissa) leaves

[Thistle (Carissa)] (but she does listen to Branwyn's reason, lol)

Yellen (Master) bows to Branwyn again

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs

Craigh (TMO) looks around confusedly.

[Yellen (Master)] I understand her being upset

[Craigh (TMO)] What'd I say?

[Yellen (Master)] She thought she understood

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We will come to an arrangement. You will not hunt from our farmers.

Yellen (Master) nods, Of course

[N'laea (Carissa)] How old are you?

[Yellen (Master)] Only wild game

Yellen (Master) looks at N'laea I am only 30

[Yellen (Master)] I am in my prime to lead a pack

[N'laea (Carissa)] Then why not start fresh?

[Yellen (Master)] I have

[N'laea (Carissa)] No. That is not fresh.

[N'laea (Carissa)] There are plenty of pups out too young to have set ways.

[Yellen (Master)] A pack is only as strong as the leader

[Yellen (Master)] this pack was lacking that

[Yellen (Master)] I am now here, they have accepted me

[Yellen (Master)] it has been a year

[N'laea (Carissa)] And you plan to hunt in the woods?

[Yellen (Master)] If this human, no matter her desires, was as strong to lead the pack I would not have been accepted

[Yellen (Master)] The pack has hunted the Wood

[Yellen (Master)] and the swamps beyond

[N'laea (Carissa)] But you are human, first and foremost.

[Yellen (Master)] I wil ensure they keep to the Countess' lands and rules

N'laea (Carissa) shakes head, "You misunderstand."

[Yellen (Master)] I am not human, I am not wolf, I am more than either

[N'laea (Carissa)] The gods watch those woods now. You risk angering them and upsetting that balance with your hunting.

[Yellen (Master)] I do not take more than the Woods can safely provide

[N'laea (Carissa)] For sport or only to provide?

[Yellen (Master)] we hunt the bullywugs in the swamps

[Yellen (Master)] we hunt for what we need no more

[N'laea (Carissa)] Bullywugs can be hunted.

N'laea (Carissa) nods, "Do not let that change."

[N'laea (Carissa)] But do not let your ego get the best of you, either.

[Yellen (Master)] I am happy to continue as we have

[Yellen (Master)] Jilly thought it better that I present myself to the Countess directly

[Yellen (Master)] and so I have

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And she did not discuss the pack issue or I would have asked for Shi to be here as well.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks pointedly at Nevin

Jilly (Master) BUT Shi chose to do that

[Master] Jilly moved 1'08".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] In the meantime, you will stay here at the boarding house until we can work this out. You will not go back to the woods until this is arranged

[Jilly (Master)] Shi is a wonderful person, and I am happy to have her back

[Jilly (Master)] But she did abruptly just leave

[Jilly (Master)] and disapear for years

[N'laea (Carissa)] (was it years? I thought it was only many months)

[Jilly (Master)] (just about two years)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Time works differently for elves.

[Jilly (Master)] Yes and I am happy she is back

[Jilly (Master)] But if you were to leave for years, everyone would know that Tiberius would be here and take care of things

Lord Tiberius (Master) snorts

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Would you have had me give her shrine to another priestess as she abandoned that too? Shi said she was returning and so her place and things have been held for her

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] and everyone would do what Jilly says

[N'laea (Carissa)] Was there not this Kel that was mentioned?

Jilly (Master) smiles at Branwyn

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes. Kel and Thistle were here

[N'laea (Carissa)] (oh wait she knows-ish about him)

[Jilly (Master)] Kel is very fun

[Jilly (Master)] and he took care of the wood

[Jilly (Master)] and he actually learned to talk with Valoris

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So it will be up to Shi to see if they can coexist with the pack or not

Jilly (Master) nods firmly

[Jilly (Master)] Yes

Jilly (Master) pokes Nevin see I told you she would agree with me

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If not, we will take care of Yellen and take her to a safe place.

[Jilly (Master)] I need to go get the rest of breakfast

[Master] Jilly moved 10'03".

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] Yes (to Jilly) Yes Branwyn

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I am glad we have that settled

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Craigh you should pay little mind to Thistle. She will like you again the next time you agree with her

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lmao)

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) stifles a giggle

Craigh (TMO) nods. "Think I need to go have a talk with her?"

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] She will be back soon enough

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is quite angry at the moment. Better to let her cool off.

[Dahlia (Master)] She is teachign me fortune telling

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is good Dahlia. You can show me later what you have learned.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would like to know my fortune

[Nanny Gothhawk (Master)] The children are learning so much

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] There is the one other item that I thought you would like to talk about

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You are doing a wonderful job, We appreciate you greatly.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes?

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] As Jilly mentioned the other morning

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] there is a tower that needs to be investigated

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Wasn't the other morning four months ago?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (details details)

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] (actually only 2 days game time)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Abandoned

[Master] Jilly moved 13'05".

[Jilly (Master)] a wizard's tower in the wastes

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (What? I thought we spent weeks and weeks learning spells and things)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] ( That's what I thought too)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (squishy time?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Jilly (Master)] (yes to Lemon but that was a flip flop time to bring everyone up to being fully trained, having the end of the previous Era and now being the morning of Mid Fall)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol, I'm not trying to cause a mutiny or anything, I just didn't know)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (so... squishy time?)

[Jilly (Master)] (no worries, it is about to go back to normal straight hour by hour time)

[Jilly (Master)] SO there is this wizard tower

[Jilly (Master)] it has to be a wizard tower

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Is there a difference between squishy time and flip flop time?)

[Jilly (Master)] so you shoudl go investigate it

[N'laea (Carissa)] (one you wear to the beach, the other in snow)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, it is interesting. If it is abandoned, I hardly think it is an outing that needs all of our attention.

[Jilly (Master)] Di you tell her?

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] Apprantly someone, (looks at Jilly as she leaves for the kitchen again) went out there and found a tower covered in ice in the middle of summer

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] As far as any reports are that ice is still there and has not melted

Howard Plum (Lisa) chin quivers thinking of the frost spell that killed his fellow apprentice

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrbGEVilpsI

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Are there seasons in the Mist?)

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] (yes)

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] (and that is one of the two songs that are the theme for this story arc)

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] ?-ice

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It seems then some dispelling of magic might be necessary. I think Emerald and our priests can likely handle it.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rog8ou-ZepE

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Has to be the other one)

Craigh (TMO) raises his hand. "Okay if I go along too, just to watch?"

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lol)

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] (grins at Lemon but no)

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I am not a mage

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You just want to escape Thistle's wrath, Craigh

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I am not sure what will be needed

Craigh (TMO) smiles.

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "But of course you may help investigate"

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I would like to go too!

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] but if the ice does not melt in the summer, I do not know what type of magic that is

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Where there were mages are usually traps

[Craigh (TMO)] You never know - where there's a tower, there may have been a wizard, and where there was a wizard, there may be books.

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) writes in notebook "Can half-ghosts freeze towers?"

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Will I have time to write books in Hell?)

[Master] Your angels speak with jilted tongues The serpent's tale has come undone You have no strength to squander

[Craigh (TMO)] (speaking of books, btw, Bob - Craigh is going to want to start making some with the materials he's picked up on our outings. How do I need to handle that?)

[Master] When he is home can make checks and create

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Considering writing a really epic love story where a half-ghost and a half-wolf fall in love. Like Romeo and Juliet meets Twilight.)

Branwyn (Lisa) with slight amusement "Do you need to know what type of magic is at the tower Nevin?"

[Master] Lemon Carissa will be telling you about previous adventures and musical themes and puzzling out their meaning

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] Not at all Branwyn

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I will? Okay)

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I cannot imagine what type of magic keeps ice frozen all the time

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] and why it would coat a tower

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Um, pretty sure zero people here will get the reference, but it feels like the whispers of Il'gynoth)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] To protect it of course!

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] (not sure Lemon but seeing the search results you will like it)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Keep the riff raff out!

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] (like this)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum: Tactics of Magic check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] So how could you get in then Howard?

[Master (to Lisa only)] yes to a powerful priest with Elemental Sphere.... or an Elemental Mage of Water perhaps

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Well ... I would have trouble.

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I mean no offence Howard (and I forget his new honoriffic)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] It would be elemental magic. Could have even been cast by a priest with power ove the elements

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] I just know that Branwyn, You and Johan will know more than I about dealing with that

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] So the magic would have to be dispelled

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] They would not!

Howard Plum (Lisa) jaw drops looking at Branwyn

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

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Errr of course Branwyn does know more

[Steward Nevin Ognorn (Master)] and other than mid summer night I would expect that mid fall or spring are the more powerful magic moments of the year if I understand that properly

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you Howard

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I can dispell some magic but... um... probably not something so powerful

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] But I could try!

[Master] Jilly moved 3'00".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am most curious as to why you want to get me out of the manor

[Jilly (Master)] If you can bring me back some ice that would be very nice

[Jilly (Master)] imagine if it is ice that does not melt

[Jilly (Master)] we could keep more things cool

[Jilly (Master)] and store things longer

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is likely so cold that it would burn you

[Raelynn (Carissa)] What if it freezes your food and it never unfreezes?

[Jilly (Master)] It bent the pick I used

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You were there playing with magic ice?!?

[Jilly (Master)] Somone had to experiment

[Jilly (Master)] Howard was off with the mines

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Don't do that again! You could have gotten yourself hurt or killed

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Please

Jilly (Master) smiles

[Jilly (Master)] I promise

[Jilly (Master)] That is why I told Nevin to have you go out there

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Something tells me Jilly has... um... some EXTRA knowlege about just exactly how hurt she will get doing any activity)

[Jilly (Master)] and today is a great time

[Jilly (Master)] I think

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol Lemon)

[Jilly (Master)] something about the no moons thing?

[Jilly (Master)] I know that Shi has a thing tonight in her shrine

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Darling, would you like to come see an icy mage tower with me?

[Jilly (Master)] Snee and Kena too

Lord Tiberius (Master) looks abashed

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] It sounds boring love

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] lots of books and papers

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] How far is it?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol, why did Branwyn marry this guy?)

[Craigh (TMO)] (opposites attract)

[Jilly (Master)] It is only 2 miles from Maxs Rest

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (cuz he is as good at what he does as she is as what she does)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol yeah and then they get frustrated that their partner never wants to do anything with them lol. Not that I know this from experience or anything...)

[Lord Tiberius (Master)] Oh, so then you will be there and back by nightfall

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (little early for Tiberius bashing - wait til you get to know him better :) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You don't want to come with us then?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol! Not my fault that BOB knows how to put quirks in his NPCs that will trigger me)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (almost everybody bashes Tiberius at some point. Made me laugh you made a comment so soon)

[Master] Just so you have the map to know where you are going

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Jilly seems nice... but the rest... I have OPINIONS lol)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol)

[Master] LOL This was Jilly being a calm adult with a child of her own

[Master] just ask how quick fire she was back when TMO and Lisa started adventuring

[Master] and her joining in on adventures if wanted or not

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (hitting people with spoons)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (For the record, I'm not trying to be a jerk. I think it's obviously really great character building if it can make me emotional like that just from a couple of meetings)

[Master] Fully understand that Lemon no worries on that at all

[Craigh (TMO)] (she caught a unicorn)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (ooooh, unicorn!)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (and befriended a goblin and bugbear)

[Master] see you like her for a reason

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol, I could sense the unicorn kinship)

[Craigh (TMO)] (unicorn didn't want anything to do with my Shurkural. No idea why)

[Master] But so now you have your basic idea for this story arc

[Master] go just outside of the tamer Estate parts

[Master] explore an abandoned Wizards tower

[Master] an be back for dinner

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (easy peasy)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (yep that's definitely all)

[Master] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrbGEVilpsI

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Yeah, I'm sure there will be zero distractions at all)

[Master] The ice is thin come on dive in

[Master] So you ahve your spells you chose for the day

[Master] TMO did you set up Craig?

[Craigh (TMO)] (he has two spells, wasn't expecting to go adventuring)

[Master] prior to knowing he was heading out

[Master] that is good

[Master (to GM only)] Yellen moved 36'00".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Bob told the mages to memorize - you have to remember that includes you)

[Craigh (TMO)] (I did - he had his two spells still from last time)

[Master] Howard Plum moved 16'11".

[Master] Branwyn moved 38'05".

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU9-TRVbhkE

[Master] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 15'07".

[Master] Lanek moved 17'01".

[Master] Talwin moved 31'02".

[Master] Emerald moved 32'02".

[Master] Craigh moved 27'06".

[Lisa] maybe they will be helpful then

[Master] Carissa who will be going?

[Craigh (TMO)] (kinda iffy... ;) )

[Master] Lisa taking Branwyn, Howard and Indigo?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Both of them, I imagine)

[Master] Raelynn moved 29'11".

[Master] N'laea moved 30'00".

[Lisa] (i guess)

[Master] Who has Dragako?

[Master] Indigo moved 41'06".

[Master] Dragako is the sword

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (N'laea)

Carissa is receiving the map New Manor...

[Master] inher inventory now so you can speak as him

Carissa has left the game on Fri Oct 01 22:41:05 EDT 2021

TMO has joined the game on Fri Oct 01 22:42:15 EDT 2021

TMO is receiving the map New Manor...

[Master] Ok so did everyone see the Crainiate Wastes map?

[Carissa] Ye

[Master] with Maxs Rest on it and the tower

[Lisa] yes

[Master] not sure then what happened to kick people out

[Carissa] For me it was actively switching off that map

[Lemon] I definitely blame it on Carissa double-clicking

[Carissa] Kick was almost directly after my own actions

[Master] I will move Indigo to the new map

[Master] Indigo moved 1'05".

[Master] Now I will sent it to everyone

[Master] no issues

[Carissa] I'm aliveeeee

[Master] try to get the Manor map back now please

[Carissa] And stupid zoomed in super close to darkness

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for Craigh modified:

Carissa is receiving the map New Manor...

Carissa has received the map New Manor.

[Carissa] Si

[Lisa] got it

[Master] Ok

[TMO (to GM only)] Character sheet for Craigh modified: Weapons - DELETED: Spear; one hand, false, Spear; one hand, , , 0, , --, --, +0, +0, +0, +3, -1, $atk, 0, +0, +0, +0, +2, $dmg, 1d6, 1d8, 1d6, , , , .

[Master] so no clue on why anyone got booted

Carissa is receiving the map Ice Tower...

Carissa has received the map Ice Tower.

Carissa is receiving the map Craniate_Wastes_V03_9-17-21...

Carissa has received the map Craniate_Wastes_V03_9-17-21.

[Lemon] My zoom out doesn't seem to be working

Carissa is receiving the map Ice Tower...

Carissa has received the map Ice Tower.

[Carissa] Welp still here

[Master] Everyone is on the new map now

[Carissa] Top right. At 50% it's a black circle with blue corners

[Lisa] yes

[TMO] it's all black

Lisa is receiving the map New Manor...

Lisa has received the map New Manor.

[Master] Indigo moved 9'03".

[Lemon] Oh, wait, can I only zoom out to 37%? Ok

[TMO] thar we go

[Lemon] I can see!

[Master] Sorry I changed conceal colors to try to make ice

Lisa is receiving the map Ice Tower...

Lisa has received the map Ice Tower.

[Lemon] So this isn't like movie magic ice where you can see right through it?

[Master] You can get up close if you want to try that

[Master] I put you on the map the farthest from the tower of ice that you can be

[Master] and the scale is correct on this map

[Master] for the ruins that are there in front of you etc.

[Lisa] ok

[Master] as you discuss I will be right back

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Lemon] I mean we know it's safe to get up next to it, because Jilly was over there chopping away with a pickaxe

[Lisa] lol

[TMO] (who brought the portable nuke?)

[Carissa] I thought you were this time?

[Lisa] yes I wouldn't try to lick it though

[Lemon] lol

[Lemon] Bixi is afraid to touch anything that someone else hasn't already touched

[Lemon] Half-wolves can do curses and half-ghosts can make magic sand, so who knows what's out there

[Lisa] lol

[Carissa] N'laea: Tracking check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 - ROLL FAILED against 17!!

[Carissa] N'laea: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Carissa] Welp she's as sleepy as I am.

[Lemon] Bixi Fizzlebang: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Lemon] Bixi Fizzlebang: Botany check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 14!!

[Carissa] So uh... yeah. That was my only plan.

[Carissa] Blame cat hairballs at 5 AM and not being able to fall back asleep.

[Lemon] Dang. Wish I had rolled botany first. I'm way more interested in the plant life than like, spotting things that are going to attack us

[Carissa] N'laea: Foraging check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 8!!

[Lemon] I hope there are interesting plants in Hell

[Lisa] (do we want to look at the ruins that aren't frozen for clues first?

[Carissa] Hellswort. Hellsbane. Sunflowers.

[Lisa] Or go straight for the ice?

[TMO] (yes, makes sense)

[Carissa] Ruins are fun.

[Lisa] looks like a whole building is somewhat there

[Lemon] Sure, maybe we will find another unsolvable riddle or an NPC who is going to make me want to punch them

[TMO] (if not, punch a PC)

[Lemon] lol

[Lemon] Or maybe we can find some kind of really great magical one-handed weapon for TMO

[Carissa] I volunteer Craigh :)

[TMO] (of course you do)

[Carissa] There is irony in TMO's old character had a magical hand as a weapon

[Carissa] And now he has a character without one

[Carissa] A hand, that is. Also a hand weapon.

[Lemon] We should break open barrels and go under waterfalls, I've heard that's where all the loot is

Branwyn (Lisa) cries

[Lemon] Lol, that's great

[Carissa] Childhood taught me it was from cutting grass

[Carissa] Poor Ilero. His magic hand melted after a ridiculous number of years of having it :(

[Lemon] I'm sorry that your childhood was devoid of imagination

[Carissa] Cut grass, smash pots. It's where the rupees and fairies are!

[Lemon] Oh, I thought you meant like, allowance from mowing the lawn

[TMO] (points at Bixi - we have a fairy)

[Lemon] I wish

[Carissa] lol

[Lemon] You know what this conversation feels like? When the teacher steps out of the room and the bad kids go crazy with talking and spitballs and whatever. I'm sorry for being the bad kid and being a bad influence on y'all

[TMO] yes

[Lisa] as long as we have something to say when Bob gets back it's all good

[Lemon] So are there character descriptions on the website? I don't know anything about Shi

[Lemon] Well we did decide to explore the ruins, right?

[Lisa] yup

[Lemon] So we did the assignment! We're good lol

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] LOL at Lemon

[Master] and so you are here at the ruins

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Craigh (TMO)] btw, Bob - this spear glows. Is it a radius effect, or just a glow?

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

[Lisa] The Shi page

[Lemon] Thank you!

[Master] magic weapons have a five foot glow to them

[Master] for lemon

[Craigh (TMO)] (ok, the text on Home Base specifies glowing, so wondered if it were a special glowy)

[Carissa] (back when her name was spelled wrong, lol)

[Master (to Lemon only)] Bixi gets for her Alertness check that the ice is not melting, it is stil just solid, not like "real" ice so something is strange

[Master (to Lemon only)] you would guess that magic ice would melt but be replaced? this just stays

Branwyn (Lisa) so we start wandering in the ruin of the large building that is not frozen first looking for clues

[Master] Lemon has her alternes check information

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 42'01".

[Master] for the rest moving forward

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo moved 38'07".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Master] Obersvation or intuition and such checks

[Master] and there you go

[Carissa] (nice)

[Carissa] N'laea: INU check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL FAILED against 15!!

[Craigh (TMO)] Craigh: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Carissa] (Poor Nlaea is REALLY tired)

[Lemon] I am back at the keyboard.

[Carissa] Raelynn: INU check: (d20) [1d20=16] 16 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Would magic ice, if it were really ice, melt and be replaced? This ice doesn't look like it's melting at all...

[Carissa] Wait no I rolled 16 four times in a row??

[Carissa] TMO what are those odds? lol

[Master] Raelynn can see that there are ruins and no stone around

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (oooh, lucky number of the day)

[Craigh (TMO)] (very low of that exact combination)

[Carissa] Lucky only for Rae, not for Nlaea, lol

[Carissa] (d20) [1d20=6] 6

[Master] Craigh can see that this area looks like it was well developed at one time but now hard to tell

[Carissa] Okay I broke it. Carry on.

[Master] Branwyn can see from markings on the stairs and walls that at least two more levels where here in this building at one time but that was decades ago

[Craigh (TMO)] This used to be a nice place.

[Master (to Lisa only)] Branwyn can also tell that there is a LOT of missing stone, best guess goblins stripped this area for materials?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, this building here had at least two more levels before it was destroyed

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I don't see any stone... did they use it to make the tower?

N'laea (Carissa) yawns and grumbles about needing more sleep

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Most of the stone is missing. Looted by goblins perhaps

[Craigh (TMO)] It's over there among the rocks

[Raelynn (Carissa)] If the ice isn't melting, how long has it been here?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Are stone and rocks not the same? I might need a Carissa science lesson)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I'm a biologist, not a geologist!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I wonder if this is part of the areas destroyed during the civil war

[Craigh (TMO)] (lol that was the point)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (shrugs. Science is science lol)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Local History check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

Branwyn (Lisa) she continues to wonder

[Craigh (TMO)] (the confusion multiplies)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] With this area being picked clean, I doubt we will find much here

[Master] Branwyn cannot remember hearing any stories about battles in this area

Branwyn (Lisa) turns to look at the tower

Craigh (TMO) leans on his spear.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I cannot remember any battles here.

Branwyn (Lisa) frowns a little

[Master] The tower is smooth ice, blueish white un blemished rising straight up for at least three stories taller than the manor house

Craigh (TMO) looks for where a door might be

[Master] Craigh moved 46'11".

[Master] N'laea moved 26'03".

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum moved 44'00".

[Master] Raelynn moved 39'00".

[Master] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 40'10".

[Master] From where you stand the walls all look very smooth

Craigh (TMO) pokes it with the spear point

[Master] opaque

[Master] Craigh moved 34'10".

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Are they shiny? Do they show reflections at all?)

[Master] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 26'02".

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 26'10".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Spellcraft check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Master] Craigh's spear point touches the ice, it is solid,

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Or is it cloudy ice?)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I mean, obviously. but the surface)

[Master (to Lisa only)] definately magical ice of some kind

[Master (to Lisa only)] I know that is a bit of a DOH but it is being maintained or it would have melted

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (In case you couldn't tell, I've done REALLY WELL at words and talking this week)

[Craigh (TMO)] (words good)

[Master] The ice is solid whitish blueish not see through at all

[Craigh (TMO)] Think it'll melt if we use fire?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Just pretend I stopped talking after I asked if you could see reflections lol)

[Master] but also not real relfection either off of it

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol, thank you)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh! Howard can do that! He just snaps his fingers. Or something.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] As Craigh has noted previously, magic usually comes with a set duration. For this to be here, it must be maintained

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Wait, I think I have a note about that!

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) frantically looks through notebook

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So I do not this this tower has been completely abandoned

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Nope, it was eyepatch powers not snapping powers, never mind.

Howard Plum (Lisa) blushes

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Umm does that mean the wizard is inside?

[Craigh (TMO) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Craigh modified: Weapons - CHANGED: Spear +1 (1H) -- Magical Adj: +1 (+2),

[Craigh (TMO)] Shall we knock?

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] It is doubtful.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum moved 23'10".

Howard Plum (Lisa) tries to be useful and cantrips a small flame to try to see if it affects the ice

Raelynn (Carissa) watches intently

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Howard Plum: Cantrip Proficiency check: (d20) [1d20=6] 6 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

Raelynn (Carissa) and claps

Howard Plum (Lisa) thrilled he did not fail in front of Miss Raelynn

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (so fun)

Howard Plum (Lisa) watches the flame touch the ice

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Howard and Raelynn sitting in a tree?)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (probably pretty doubtful)

[Master] sorry back had to fix a map

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol, just checking)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol at the least he has his own personal cheerleader)

[Master] Howard slides the flame up to the Ice and it goes out

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (well that's adorable)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (Howard doesn't get a lot of female attention)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] It put the flame out!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (and then he gets it from a priestess of love, how he's not overwhelmed suddenly, I don't know, lol)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hmm, maybe we need a bigger flame?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Or... a colder flame? Can you make something so cold it cancels out?

[Master] Time of Day: 11:54 AM. Day 15 Pen ___ tre, Bel {Mid Fall} 7th, 351 SKR.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I could make a piece of ice but I don't think that would work against magic.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Can you try to dispel this magic force?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh! Maybe. But is it powerful? Can you tell? The hourglass was really hard to dispel.

[Master] Raelynn moved 34'11".

Craigh (TMO) tries to cantrip a freezing mist against the ice wall

[Craigh (TMO)] Craigh: Cantrip Proficiency check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 11!!

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I can tell you generally

[Craigh (TMO)] Ow

[Master] I will give Craigh an intuition check

Craigh (TMO) sucks on his stinging fingertips

[Craigh (TMO)] Craigh: INU check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 13!!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (crits so bad he has an epiphany?)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (sounds like normal scientist)

[Craigh (TMO)] (he fucked around, now he's finding out)

[Master (to TMO only)] there is no mist from the ice, no sublimation, no mist from the air contacting it

Craigh (TMO) grunts.

[Craigh (TMO)] It's not acting like ice

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well it is magic. Can magic be ice?

Craigh (TMO) holds his hand close to the surface of the tower

[Craigh (TMO)] (is it radiating cold?)

[Master] no

Craigh (TMO) shrugs and touches his little fingertip to the wall.

[Master] (2d6) [2d6=5,1] 6 points of damage

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (And that, boys and girls, is how he became the no arm man)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (you only have one hand you know)

[Master] Craigh's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 16 (-6) - Moderately Wounded

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (LOL Carissa)

[Craigh (TMO)] (that's why it was just one fingertip)

[Craigh (TMO)] (what caused the damage? cold, electricity, explosions?)

[Master] magic?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Please do not touch the ice

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh! Are you okay, Craigh?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: Diagnostics check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Craigh (TMO)] (well, just wondering if he got blasted backward or anything)

[Craigh (TMO)] AHH! Smotherducker that hurt!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea moved 43'10".

N'laea (Carissa) goes to walk around the tower looking for any openings

[Craigh (TMO)] Okay, we learned one thiing not to do!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea moved 19'03".

Craigh (TMO) shakes his hand.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] I could have tol ...

Craigh (TMO) grimaces. "Could have. Didn't."

[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=4] 4 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I can keep moving her icon or not)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea moved 7'08".

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Any magic this size, would have to be incredibly powerful. It it taller than the manor house

[Raelynn (Carissa)] That's why I'm not sure it can be easily dispelled...

[Master] N'laea moves all around the circl

[Master] no indication of any change in the surface

N'laea (Carissa) shakes head

[N'laea (Carissa)] I see no change. It is too bad one cannot fly to the top to look.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Unless someone tries to dispel it we will never know

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Otherwise we could have Branwyn fireball it but I don't think she has enough fire for this whole tower

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I know, I know. Just... don't be disappointed if it doesn't work.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn casts a spell against : Dispel Magic - Priest: I dispel (11-(1d20)+6) [1d20=18] -1 level magic.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol, love Raelynn and Howard being so worried about disappointing each other)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I haven't a clue what that equation is actually supposed to be, but that seems wrong)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (18 seemed like a good roll)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (math!)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] The base chanceof successfully dispelling is 11 or higher on 1d20. If the caster is of higherlevel than the creator of the effect to be dispelled, the difference issubtracted from this base number needed. If the caster is of lower level, thedifference is added to the base. A die roll of 20 always succeeds and a dieroll of 1 always fails. Thus, if a caster is 10 levels higher than the magic heis trying to dispel, only a roll of 1 prevents the effect from being dispelled.

[Master] So she dispelled magic 9 levels higher than her

[Raelynn (Carissa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Raelynn modified: Notes - CHANGED.

[Master] Which is not enough

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (seriously?)

[Master] double checking the math

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Ouch, but not surprised)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (her PC level or the level of spells she can cast?)

[Master] PC level

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Do we... have a spare dragon lying around? Should I try to punch it with my new magic weapon?)

[Master] I think she dispelled magic from a 14th level charcter I am checking to make sure that is right

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (so was cast by a 16th level something?)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (yikes - I hope he isn't inside the tower)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (shoulda rolled a 20...)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (knock knock)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (where's Snee's hammer when you need it?)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Honestly I was thinking this might be jerk-mage's tower. No?)

[Craigh (TMO)] (I'm trying to figure out a proper formula too)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Likely not, he was with Bolpels which are not in this area)

[Master] Yes I was wrong it was 16th level magic she dispelled and yes I was right she did not dispel it

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (if it is that really means he is not dead - death dispels a lot of magic)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (Welp let's just pack our bags and go then)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Lol, yeap, we gave it our best shot. Now we can be home in time for dinner)

[Master] As always you are in charge of how you handle the puzzles of the adventure

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let's all back up and see if a large amount of fire does anything at all. Since we are experimenting

[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea moved 89'05".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn moved 58'09".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Howard Plum moved 61'01".

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 67'04".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 58'08".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Craigh moved 57'10".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea moved 19'04".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn moved 7'09".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (this is a wall, right?)(

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo moved 23'07".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (just imaging old movies, duck and cover behind some cover)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea moved 16'11".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn moved 11'00".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes good idea)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Howard Plum moved 13'03".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 7'01".

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (But is it a wall, or just like one small layer of ruin that does not provide cover?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (well if not, they find a ditch nearby?)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (We need answers!)

[Master] Tha wall is about 6 to 8 feet tall

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Tall enough for gnome cover!)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Bixi Fizzlebang moved 18'07".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (nearly three gnomes tall!)

Branwyn (Lisa) concentrates on the tower and casts

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn casts a spell against : Fireball: I fire off a 20' radius ball of flame which deals (10d6) [10d6=4,3,5,2,2,6,5,6,4,1] 38 points of damage. Save vs spell for half damage.

[Craigh (TMO)] (I came up with dispelling a spell cast by 15th level or lower caster)

[Craigh (TMO)] 13th

[Craigh (TMO)] 18+6-11 = 13

[Master] Zero damage to the tower of ice from the fireball

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs "I expected as much"

[Master] There DOES seem to be a bit of mist from the meeting of flame and ice but no apparent damage to the ice

[Craigh (TMO)] Has anyone tried saying Please?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I kind of want to punch it with my new magic weapon. Do you tihink that's a bad idea? Jilly was trying to pickaxe it and didn't get hurt...)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] You think someone is inside?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn moved 46'03".

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I guess it wouldn't hurt to try...

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: Etiquette check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 17!!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: Persuasion check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 - ROLL FAILED against 15!!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hello? Is anyone in there? Please let us in.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (damn these rolls tonight)

[Master] There does not seem to be any sound from inside of the ice

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the tower and frowns deeply

[Master (to Lisa only)] that does spark something for Branwyn though, there was a very faint ringing when the fireball exploded, so the ice is not solid all the way through the tower, it must only be a shell or wall

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I wish I could tell how thick the ice and the tower walls are ...

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (but what about outside it? besides us :P)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: Attack: Quarterstaff + 1: ((18-(d20+0))-1) [1d20=16] 1 [MODIFIED (-1)]

Raelynn (Carissa) pokes it with her quarterstaff

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (as if trying to knock)

[Master] no effect on the ice

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Did you hear when the fire hit? It seemed to ping. I don't think the ice is solid through the space

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is a protective barrier only

[N'laea (Carissa)] Do any of your mines go under it?

Branwyn (Lisa) thinks how thick the stone of her towers are

[Master] the Strasilo Mining District is dozens of miles north

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Shh wasn't her point, more if you can't go over it, go under it)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (also we know elves contributed zero to the mining effort and it shows!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: KNO check: (d20) [1d20=15] 15 [MODIFIED (+1+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Master (to Lisa only)] 4 to 5 feet, comparing to the other stone walls there for the other building

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I could try ... It would be dangerous

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (We are still in the mist yes? So a spell where I have to be able to see the sun is a no-go?)

[Master (to Lisa only)] close guess is 70 foot in diameter

[Master] correct to Lemon

[Master] Lisa do you want to cast now? or do it first thing next session?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Does watery fist work on ice? *hopeful grin*)

Craigh (TMO) knocks 3 times on it with the spear tip

Branwyn (Lisa) walks up to what looks like the path to the door

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lol probably not, or at least not on this "ice")

[Master] Branwyn moved 65'01".

Branwyn (Lisa) thinks about he towere. The laylout. Where the stairs would be.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I can give someone strength of stone? If Craigh wants to take a really good punch at it, lol)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (her towers)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (thinking Lisa is dimensioning dooR)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (and if that works, maybe if she gets in she can let us in)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (ahhh)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thinking about it - if she gets in a solid object she gets sent to the astral plane)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Well that technically is one of our goals...)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (...Can we teleport dart it and get the ice out of here? lol)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I am okay if you want to think on it for the week)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If the wizard arrives in a place that is already occupied by a solidbody, he remains trapped in the Astral Plane.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she can carry up to 500 lbs - question is does anyone want to go too?)

[Craigh (TMO)] (dear Lemon... Bixi is twice as strong as Craigh)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (or does she make Howard go? :D )

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol oh)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (LOL)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (double checking my spells for options, too)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's midnight so next week probably best)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but think about whether if anyone would want to go too)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (yes please, my mind is already sleep deprived)

[Master] Sounds good

[N'laea (Carissa)] (did we already check for traps here? is that something Craigh can do?)

[Master] this was a nice start

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (branwyn has seen enough towers I think she can visualize where to go)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Ok, but if no one comes up with anything else, and the people who try to go in get stuck in the astral plane, then I'm going to try and punch it with my magic weapon.)

[Craigh (TMO)] (g'nite folks)

[Lisa] she has feather fall memorized so if she thinks a bit high)

[Lisa] Goodnight TMO

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] goodnight TMO!

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

[Carissa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Carissa] So not sure if this is IC thinking, but Raelynn can detect extradimensional spaces if that's helpful?

[Lisa] Yes I'll think about it too

[Lemon] Oooh, I'm getting close

[Lisa] I'm thinking it's just a nice tower

[Carissa] I'm just surprised dispel didn't work for that level of magic

[Lisa] there is no Mist under the ice so maybe he can teleport inside it from anywhere

[Lemon] I can soften earth and stone? We can dig a tunnel underneath?

[Carissa] lol I was going to say we can always try digging under it

[Lisa] at the very least with it being his or her tower they could dimension door into it easily

[Lisa] like how we had to do with Etienne's library

[Carissa] True but then figuring out how to get others in/out would be tricky

[Carissa] Not so for a solo wizard tower, but for us :)

[Master] Etienne was the Wedding Crashers story arc Lemon

[Master] if you get a need to read some history

[Lisa] maybe the ice off/on switch is inside

[Carissa] I wish we had that for winters here :(

[Master] Or the zamboni is broken?

[Lemon] Is it possible that it's not real? Like the hobgoblins?

[TMO] it zapped Craigh

[Carissa] But did he believe in it??

[Lemon] Yeah well the hobgoblins hurt too

[Carissa] Is this Beta ice or Betice? As in this is beaticing?

[Lisa] If it was less than a 16th level illusion spell the dispel would have removed it

[Carissa] ....that's not a word. It's late. Ignore that.

[Master] for the link to work I had to use the Latin B

[Lisa] Ok I am taking off

[Carissa] Ahh good point

[Lisa] Goodnight!

[Carissa] Probably a good plan, night

[Master] ?-ice

[Carissa] !

[Lemon] lol, I googld that carissa

[Master] is the story arc name

Lisa has left the game on Sat Oct 02 00:08:19 EDT 2021

[Carissa] lol that was I asked

[Carissa] Lowercase beta so wasn't sure if there was a play on words

[Lemon] Ok, I also need sleep. Goodnight friends!

[Carissa] BUT I am very tired so yes, sleep for me, too.

[Carissa] Night!

TMO has left the game on Sat Oct 02 00:08:59 EDT 2021

Carissa has left the game on Sat Oct 02 00:09:00 EDT 2021
