Spring has joined the game on Fri Nov 12 18:47:19 EST 2021

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Hello Hello

[Spring] hi hi

[Spring] I think that was a full 30 seconds between typing and appearance of text

[Spring] I suspect the lag is my computer. it's breathing pretty hard

[Master] sorry

[Spring] I need to get a new one but I am just putting off as long as I can because moneys

[Spring] hi Lara!

[Lara] hi Spring!

[Lara] how was your week?

[Master] Hello Lara

[Lara] hi BOB! I watched your Tech Talk onFB!

[Master] Thank you?

[Master] I hope

[Master] which one?

[Lara] I think it was last week's. lemme check.

[Master] Veterans Day?

[Spring] my week was kind of hectic. staff out sick

[Lara] the one with Sonia

[Lara] @Spring - ugh!

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Nov 12 19:03:03 EST 2021

[Spring] hi Lisa!

[Lara] @BOB yes, the one that is geared towards veterans

[Master] glad

[Lara] hi Lisa!

[Master] I did think that was a nice show

[Lara] it was - heavy stuff

[Lisa] Hello!! :)

[Master] I was trying to make it lighter but yeah

[Lara] 65 degrees!?

[Spring] I知 willing to try sleeping at 65

[Spring] I have a lot of blankets heh

[Master] grins

[Lara] me too but I think I would be wrapped up in a papoose

Lemon has joined the game on Fri Nov 12 19:10:34 EST 2021

[Lisa] Hi Lemon :)

[Master] Hey there

[Lara] @Spring - I drink oat milk like Lemon does --- planet oat, unsweetened vanilla

Carissa has joined the game on Fri Nov 12 19:11:00 EST 2021

[Lara] hi Lemon!

[Master] so you have four people here, now FIVE!!! Ah AH AH

[Lisa] Hi Carissa!

[Master] you have time to discuss what you are going to tell

[Lara] @Lisa - yes almond milk is terrible for the environment

[Carissa] Wait wait let me fix that

Carissa has left the game on Fri Nov 12 19:11:29 EST 2021

[Master] HAH

Carissa has joined the game on Fri Nov 12 19:11:40 EST 2021

[Spring] hi Carissa!

[Carissa] I make myself laugh. That's most important :)

[Master] What are you saying to Namsut about Maya?

[Carissa] Hi all!

[Master] we all like it too Carissa

[Lemon] Hello all!

[Carissa] :D

[Lara] hi Carissa!

[Lara] hi Lemon!

[Spring] I have not tried oat milk but I知 willing, why not

[Carissa] Try a good brand. If it's too watery, gross.

[Carissa] If you like pumpkin, Trader Joe's Pumpkin Oat Milk is AMAZING. And I'm not an oat milk OR pumpkin spice fan.

[Spring] hi Lemon! I missed you coming in

[Lara] Planet Oat is the one I recommend

[Lemon] Also, I just want to throw it out there, I also drink almond milk, even though I know it's bad, because I am not a perfect person. But I do prefer oat milk.

[Lara] What are we saying to Namsut about Maya?

[Lara] I tried to follow last weeks convo but there was golden apples then mythology and water pools

[Carissa] We believe Maya went to the Twin Paradises, we know Ahto is there, but we don't know how to get her out yet. Or, rather, we need to find an apple of some sort to get her out.

[Lisa] your characters are better with Namsut than Branwyn so have at it to tell her everything :)

[Lara] and I read about the cantripping of apples - allowed or not allowed?

[Lemon] Or do we need an apple to get in?

[Carissa] I believe there are multiple color pools and if so, we can try to find another one to look through for her, but beyond that... I don't know, any way to reach between planes without jumping in?

[Carissa] and lol Lisa

[Lemon] I mean, Namsut might have some ideas on how to do Operation Rescue Maya

[Lara] also, I am confused by the concept of viewer vs traveler in the astral plane

[Lisa] If it's a trek under the sea we would probably want to leave it to her anyway - unless she has a longer water breathing spell that Branwyn does - which of course she did not memorize for today

[Carissa] I think my big concern is we tell Namsut where Maya is, she runs off after here and.... then we're stuck, lol

[Carissa] Namsut has no reason NOT to go into the Twin Paradises. No ties elsewhere to hold her back. If she can enter without an apple, why wouldn't she? Does she care to leave after?

[Carissa] But I do need to double check that apple talk....

[Carissa] Okay yes apple to enter.

[Carissa] So at least she can't run off without us

[Lemon] I mean, I like to think she would repay us trying to help her by not just abandoning us but...

[Lara] I have a question---why is it that we don稚 have silver cords?

[Carissa] On one hand, she's suspicious about what she'll need to "pay" for our help, and she's in love. On the other hand, she does believe herself royalty, and it would be unbecoming to run off on someone, lol

[Carissa] We came here physically via some spell of Namsut

[Carissa] Body, spirit, and all

[Lara] is it because we when in physically and Maya went in astrally?

[Carissa] Yes

[Lara] got it---thx Carissa; that's what I thought

[Lisa] All Maya's magic stuff is in the tower. Maya might want to head back

[Carissa] Very true

[Carissa] So at best guess: Namsut says Maya is alive, we think Maya might have a new form which is why she can't leave Twin Paradises, we need to figure out how to get her back into her body....?

[Lisa] if Tiberius saved Branwyn in a color pool, she would be very happy but soon would want to head to go get her books :D

[Carissa] Haha true and we haven't a clue if Maya is happy where or what she is

[Carissa] So I do have an idea, but I have absolutely no clue if it'll work or if it'll be useful?

[Carissa] (double checking something first)

Lara listening to Carissa

[Lisa] Run it by her

TMO has joined the game on Fri Nov 12 19:25:00 EST 2021

[Lisa] Hi TMO :)

[Carissa] lol will but it's a "am I reading this spell right" to read by you all first, lol

[TMO] Here I am!

[Lara] hi TMO!

[Master] excellent

[Carissa] ....that's too many lols. I'm just making sure TMO has some Ls to steal

[Carissa] (Hi TMO!)

[TMO] You stoe a my 's!

[Spring] hi TMO!

[Carissa] I need all themssssssss!

[Carissa] "This spell enables the priest to divine the existence and subject (or subjects) of the unspoken love, crush, or romantic interest of the first creature touched by the caster."

[Carissa] Think that'll reveal what Maya may or may not now be...?

[TMO] I shudder to think of what use teenage girls have put that spell to...

[Lisa] lol

[Lara] do you think that in her new form she has never spoken of her love?

[Carissa] Oooh stories to write for the backstory.

[Carissa] Or crush or romantic interest

[Carissa] is how I'm reading it

[Lara] and do you think Maya is hanging out with Ukko of Epimetheus?

[Carissa] Ahto

[Lisa] It doesn't say location just existence. You mean to cast it on Namsut?

[Carissa] Yes

[Lara] ah, she's hanging out with Ahto?

[Carissa] Most likely

[Spring] might not help. we already know she exists and who she is

[Carissa] But how would it interpret someone who is now a body and a something?

[Lara] I agree with Spring but I知 stuck on the 'unspoken' part

[Carissa] Existence AND subject. Which are somehow different.

[Lara] I知 not sure I understand the wording of that spell...what is the spell called?

[Lisa] I suppose some people have no romantic interests so it would divine if one exists and then the subject of that interest - is how I read it

[Carissa] Divine Romantic Interest which is a very specific, love priestess spell

[Carissa] I guess the real question is how do we think BOB will read it? :)

[Master] grins

[Lisa] we haven't really been casting much. I don't think trying a spell to see what happens is a bad thing

[Carissa] Curiously, this spell does not reveal whether or not any other creature harbors romantic interest toward the caster.

[Master] Very true

[TMO] Open your own Tinder org

[Carissa] The wording of creature is interesting there

[Carissa] Cool, think she'll offer it to Namsut. It's such a specific spell it's hard to cast elsewhere

[Carissa] Until we open a Dragonslayer Matchmaking Service

[Carissa] Dragon Fen? Whichever.

[Carissa] I can't think of a good Tinder name for it...

[Lara] 'Wanted: Shield Maiden for dangerous quests under moonlit nights."

[Carissa] lol

[Lemon] Cauldron Fodder?

[Spring] hehehe

[Lisa] lol to both

[Master] LOVE

[Lara] @Lemon - are we going to boil them?

[Carissa] lmao

[Lara] this is like a Hannibal thing

[Lara] is it possible though that Namsut loves something MORE than she loves Maya?

[Lemon] Lol, I think of it more as a "mixer"

[Carissa] Subject(s) so it'll reveal ALL of them :)

[Lisa] swimming pools

Lara envisioning every creature she loves coming down in a stampede

[Carissa] lol

Lara also wondering how much she loves honey

[Master] warm smile

[Master] sparkly honey

[Lisa] no sparkly honey!

[Spring] hahahaha

[Carissa] Who doesn't love the taste of sweet grittiness between their teeth?

[Lara] uh oh. this sounds treacherous. I said something wrong, didn't I?

[Lara] I知 talking about the honey she drank t the pub!!!

[Lisa] we will give you Maya covered in regular honey so we can keep the sparkly stuff

[Carissa] lol

[Lisa] @Lara - the magic time bubble sand is hidden in a honey pot at the inn

[Lara] ah! good to know...thank you for the reference

[Spring] hehehehe

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (ready whenever unless there's other stuff we're missing)

[Master] as far as I am concerned you already started

[Master] you are plotting and planning

[Emerald (Lara)] (who is going to ask Namsut about the spell?)

[Master] when you are ready then you go to Namsut and start talking

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (which spell?)

Lanek (Spring) gets his taciturn on

Lanek (Spring) thinks love is girly

[Emerald (Lara)] (the Divine Love spell you were asking about---are you going to try it?

Lanek (Spring) seriously wants a drink

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (oh yeah, it'd be Raelynn since it's specific to her)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ready)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (we're already with Namsut or have to travel to her?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we're back with her)

[TMO] (Is Craigh's spell still active Bob?)

[Master] yes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she might even understand the whole apple concept)

Craigh (TMO) continues to stay low-key, just in case his spell is useful.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Namsut! We have good news! I think.

Emerald (Lara) smiles softly

Namsut (Master) looks up

[Raelynn (Carissa)] So we're pretty sure Maya jumped into an... Amber Pool? The one with the Twin Paradises, and we think since Ahto is there, she maybe sought him for help BUT some swirly light being told us we needed and apple, and we didn't actually SEE Maya....

[Namsut (Master)] Hmmmm

[Namsut (Master)] Apples?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] We're not exactly sure what it meant by an apple?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] But it told Indigo if he wants to come back, he needs The apple.

Raelynn (Carissa) shrugs

Emerald (Lara) looks inquisitively

[Namsut (Master)] It?

Raelynn (Carissa) glances over at Indigo

[Indigo (Lisa)] Because I'm not dead and all

[Indigo (Lisa)] The light being. It was kind of like a light wormy thing

[Namsut (Master)] Are you happy to not be dead?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Um, didn't it also say you couldn't get back out? Because that could be a bigger problem

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes! I'm not ready to be dead yet

Emerald (Lara) looks at the conversation between Indigo ad Namsut

Lanek (Spring) makes a face at mention of wormy

[Namsut (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcbR1J_4ICg&t=7s

[Indigo (Lisa)] It didn't exactly say I couldn't get back out. They didn't really answer the question either way

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Oh. So just regular risky instead of certain death risky. Got it

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's something I wanted to know before I jump into a pool where I might have been when I was dead

[Raelynn (Carissa)] And we're not completely positive Maya is in there. Just pretty positive?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] It's where Branwyn brought us, and she's pretty smart!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Anyway tell her about the water

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well we know Ahto is there, and we tried to find him, and it just showed us a sea.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Ummm, I did have an idea if you wanted to try it. I don't know if it'll work, but if Maya did get a new form, I could maybe find out what it is? But I'm not positive it'll work.

Emerald (Lara) listening to Raelynn

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I told you my goddess is a goddess of love, and she gives some of her priests a spell to divine the existence and subjects of a person's love. I mean, I've never tried casting it, er, here, and, um, when the other individual is.... anyways, I'm not sure it'll work, but I could try it if you wanted?

Emerald (Lara) nods

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Consent is important.)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (always)

[Craigh (TMO)] (Henry Crabgrass says so)

Namsut (Master) looks at Raelynn

[Namsut (Master)] I am certain of my love

[Namsut (Master)] and

[Namsut (Master)] sigh

[Namsut (Master)] sadly now I am certain of her love

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh?

Emerald (Lara) furrows brow

[Namsut (Master)] She sacrificed herself for me

[Namsut (Master)] Now I will do what I can to save her

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well yes, I never doubt that! I just mean, if she looks different now there's maybe a chance it'll be revealed to me.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] But it's only if you wanted to try it. If not, then we need to figure out how to get her out of the Twin Paradises.

Namsut (Master) holds the frozen corpse

Raelynn (Carissa) bites lip

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Sorry. I know it's hard.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I know many elves believe in reincarnation, but that doesn't make it easy. Or maybe that's just because I'm not... um, but it is still the same person, whatever they may or may not be.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] And we don't know yet if she's stuck as she is or not.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Or if she's really just a spirit still.

[Namsut (Master)] I do not believe in Reincarnation

[Namsut (Master)] Our souls are our Souls

[Namsut (Master)] and those are immutable

[Namsut (Master)] they do not transfer

[Branwyn (Lisa)] What can we do to help you?

[Namsut (Master)] You know where Maya is?

[Lanek (Spring)] we suspect what general vicinity

Lanek (Spring) said impatiently

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not exactly. Like Raelynn said, we know what pool she last entered and the correlation to Ahto

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We do not know if we enter we can return and if she went to be with Atho under the sea we could not breathe

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Like I suspect you could easily

[Namsut (Master)] Take me to the pool

[Namsut (Master)] did you only see under the sea?

[Namsut (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC_mV1IpjWA

Branwyn (Lisa) shakes her head "No I am sorry I did not do that"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But we can take you.

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the group "Shall we go again?"

[Namsut (Master)] Then we should go there to the shore and see where we go from there

Emerald (Lara) nods

Branwyn (Lisa) gathers everyone for a trip back to the amber pool

Lanek (Spring) heaves a sigh but holds hands

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) holds on

Craigh (TMO) remains anonymous in the group and holds on.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (click click click on back?)

Emerald (Lara) holds on

Raelynn (Carissa) grabs hand of anonymous guy

[Branwyn (Lisa)] )lol)

[Master] I want to pause just a moment to make sure that everyone is on board with CLICK

[Master] and anything you want to finish before you JUMP to the color pool to the Twin Paradises

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Oh no. That's an ominous pause)

[Lanek (Spring)] (I got nothing)

[Emerald (Lara)] (yes, it is ominous...should we be making apples?)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (so much sightseeing I still want to do in the vast, featureless plane, but oh well)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I want to make sure we find Maya ASAP so Namsut doesn't think we're using her or something)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we can only go to the featureless plane part in front of the pool - not picturing jumping inside the pool for this trip)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I hope and yet... ominous)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so still time to do stuff before jumping to our deaths in the paradise place)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (is that what paradise lost is about?)

[Craigh (TMO)] (no no, I'm good with jumping to my death)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (same lol)

[Emerald (Lara)] (I知 in)

[Master] going once

[Master] going twice

[Master] and CLICK CLICK CLICK

[Master] you are all at an Amber Pool

[Master] looking into the Twin Paradises, and Shurrock in particular

Emerald (Lara) breathes a sigh of relief

Namsut (Master) looks around

[Emerald (Lara)] (the lively place)

[Namsut (Master)] This is where she went?

[Namsut (Master)] You are sure?

Emerald (Lara) looking around at the group

[Raelynn (Carissa)] It was the "last color pool that Maya has been" from what Branwyn said out loud.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Or at least 20 ft in front of the "last color pool that Maya has been"

[Raelynn (Carissa)] And this is the view we left! I think. So we're back where we just left.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I... would hazard to say we aren't sure, but this is what we think is most likely based on the evidence we have?

[Namsut (Master)] Then thank you here we go

[Namsut (Master)] WHOOOOOSH Shurrock

Emerald (Lara) ...

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (great)

[Lanek (Spring)] (wheeee)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Hope she understands about breathing and water)

[Master] and everyone is there on the rocky shore of the crashing seas

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I mean Bixi did want to because her gods are here so she might be slightly more excited by this than everyone else, lol)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Wow!

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Bixi Fizzlebang: Alertness check: (d20) [1d20=5] 5 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm getting misted on by the waves

[N'laea (Carissa)] N'laea: Tracking check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[N'laea (Carissa)] It smells odd here.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes Indigo. Don't complain

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Yeah, but she was really hoping for the other twin paradise lol. The one without the crazy weather)

[Emerald (Lara)] Emerald: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Lanek (Spring)] Lanek: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Bixi Fizzlebang: Botany check: (d20) [1d20=12] 12 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol maybe there are plants on the shore)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (otherwise it figures that I finally succeed in botany when we're at a huge body of water)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (algae! seaweed! other plants of some sort!)

[Master] Yes to Bixi, all of the above

[N'laea (Carissa)] (LOL)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (stuff I probably can't see yet lol)

[Master] yes to Indigo and everyone on the shoreline feeling the waves, etc.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Raelynn: Religion - Elf check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 - ROLL FAILED against 15!!

[Master] then as everyone looks around

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Bixi Fizzlebang: Cooking check: (d20) [1d20=1] 1 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 15!!

Namsut (Master) looks over the waves

[N'laea (Carissa)] (going to cook something magnificent with these plants)

[Namsut (Master)] Thank you

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Can we bring astral plane fish back with us?)

Emerald (Lara) looking around at the scenery

[Namsut (Master)] I really mean that

Namsut (Master) DISAPEARS

Emerald (Lara) smiles at Namsut

[Raelynn (Carissa)] You're WAIT!

Emerald (Lara) shocked

Emerald (Lara) mouth hanging open

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (... she really did run off????)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Maya is with us in the chair, right?)

Emerald (Lara) aghast

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Surely she will be back?

[Master] Yes to leaving and No to Maya being here, but Yes to the Chair being here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] She'll be back

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Love can do crazy things to someone....

Branwyn (Lisa) looks around for something to do above water while we wait

[Emerald (Lara)] I don't think so...her words were sincere but she has kicked us tio the proverbial curb/shore

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

[Raelynn (Carissa)] But then why did she bring us with her here?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] She could have come alone.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Can I sit in the chair?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Indigo! That seems rude!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Um, normally I'd say no, but if it makes her mad, she might come back...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You're tired of standing?

[Master] The area seems to be abandoned, no animal life visible

[Indigo (Lisa)] Maya isn't using it any more. Anything else to do?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (nothing from tracking roll?)

[Lanek (Spring)] (no boats either I assume)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (were we even standing in the plane lol? or just like, floating?)

[Master] that was in response to the tracking roll

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (ty)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Unless Lanek needs to sit down

[Master] unless you feel you can track underwater :)

[Lanek (Spring)] nawp

[Indigo (Lisa)] You want to sit down Lanek? I can push you!

[Lanek (Spring)] sure wish I had a boat though

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lol)

[Lanek (Spring)] you know I can boat right

[Lanek (Spring)] I aint one of them sissy sailors, I can swim just fine

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can too!

[Lanek (Spring)] well of course you can ADmiRAL

[Emerald (Lara)] me too!

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Any plants around we can build a boat or raft with? Or... I don't know, anything useful or interesting at all?)

[Craigh (TMO)] (back, sry, didn't intend to be afk that long)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh! I did memorize a water breathing spell after all.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The more people involved with the spell the shorter the duration of the spell.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Would it last long enough to find Namsut? That is much water to search.

[N'laea (Carissa)] Unless you happen to know how to summon a marid?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If I cast it on all of us we could last at least 90 minutes, maybe 2 hours underwater

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No I cannot do that

[N'laea (Carissa)] And those who cannot swim?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Yeah, pretty sure I can't swim)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They would not drown due to lack of air, but I am not sure they would be able to properly return to the surface or navigate themselves well.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have never cast it on someone who could not swim

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Um... I could wait here with someone?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Someone would need to stay above the surface to guard our packs. I did not memorize a water resistant spell

[Master] The key question is how long do you want to see if Namsut returns before

Raelynn (Carissa) quietly, "I, um, keep putting off learning how to swim, too..."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am confident Namsut will return at some point

[N'laea (Carissa)] (as the gnomes say, and the elves agree, what's 20 years or so waiting?)

[Emerald (Lara)] (Ferris reference!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I just wish there was shelter here or something to occupy our time here

N'laea (Carissa) smiles, "Then we look for one or build one, yes?"

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Well, it's only a few hours... we waited a whole day at the tower.

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) shrugs

[N'laea (Carissa)] (is there a map or are we just on a featureless grey shore?)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (New era is nothing but featureless maps)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (PowerPoint and more PowerPoint)

[Master] lol

[Craigh (TMO)] I'll wait. I can't swim either.

[Master] I am being quiet

[Lanek (Spring)] (is it hot? cold? neither?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (Okay so featureless grey shore. Got it. Imagination it is!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Is there anything we can build with? Do the priests have any cozy structural spells?

[Master] both to Spring

[Master] there are rocks

[Lanek (Spring)] (it's hot AND cold? what, is it the Plane of Menopause?)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (lmao)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (hahahahahz)

[Craigh (TMO)] (I don't get it)

[Lanek (Spring)] (hahahahaha)

[Emerald (Lara)] (ROFLMAO @ TMO)

[Master] LOL

Lanek (Spring) peels his tunic off

[Lanek (Spring)] screw it, I知 goin swimmin

Lanek (Spring) kicks off his boots

[Indigo (Lisa)] Want me to go with you?

N'laea (Carissa) starts walking a bit further inland and away from the sea looking around at things

N'laea (Carissa) nods at Indigo, "If you wish."

[Lanek (Spring)] can if you want to, makes me no difference

[N'laea (Carissa)] (wait sorry ignore me)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (didn't see Spring)

Lanek (Spring) shucks his pants, does weaer skivvies

[N'laea (Carissa)] (I mean N'laea is still walking closer inland as Lanek goes swimming)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Might be sea monsters in there

Lanek (Spring) shrugs

[Lanek (Spring)] then they get indigestion

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (APR roll!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Take your sword

[Indigo (Lisa)] Please?

Lanek (Spring) turns and looks at indigo like he lost his GD mind

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) looks at Raelynn

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] I'm sticking with you

[Lanek (Spring)] swimmin

[Lanek (Spring)] with a sword

[Lanek (Spring)] I dunno if I can even do that

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (wait I need Lanek to make an APR roll so I know how to react to his skivvies, lol)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (LOL)

[Lanek (Spring)] Lanek: APR check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL FAILED against 6!!

Raelynn (Carissa) nods to Bixi, "Yeah, I think I'll just sit next to the chair and wait."

Raelynn (Carissa) grimaces at Lanek and looks away

[Lanek (Spring)] (bwaaaaaahahahahahaha)

Raelynn (Carissa) mutters, "Some people are just NOT beautiful. And shouldn't undress like that."

[Master] QUOTE

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Does your religion have objective beauty?

Lanek (Spring) starts to wade into the water

[Raelynn (Carissa)] We love everything beautiful! And that.... is not.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I'm not even sure if he's beautiful on the inside. A bit grumpy, isn't he?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'll come looking if you don't come back soon!

[Lanek (Spring)] Lanek: APR check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL FAILED against 6!!

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) shrugs

[Lanek (Spring)] (that was an error)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Someone, somewhere, might think it is

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oooff. Even beach hair isn't helping him.

Lanek (Spring) calls over his shoulder

[Lanek (Spring)] life is ugly, darlin!

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol, I知 trying)

Raelynn (Carissa) calls back, "And so are you!!"

[Lanek (Spring)] no shame in bein ugly too

[Raelynn (Carissa)] No offense!!

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's not nice

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Dang. Didn't realize Rae was a Mean Girl)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (her vanity has to come out at some point, lol)

[Lanek (Spring)] (hehehe)

[Craigh (TMO)] (makes sense to me)

Lanek (Spring) continues wading out

N'laea (Carissa) calls back, "Hanali Priestess. You learn to ignore it."

Raelynn (Carissa) huffs, sits down, and starts braiding her hair

Indigo (Lisa) stands at the shoreline watching Lanek

[Emerald (Lara)] (folks, I知 going to have to call it an early night--I知 gonna poop out around 9p)

[Craigh (TMO)] (not allowed)

[Lanek (Spring)] (aw, good night!!!)

[Indigo (Lisa)] ( Goodnight Lara!)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (night!)

[Emerald (Lara)] (gnite folks)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Goodnight! It was nice to see you!)

Lara has left the game on Fri Nov 12 20:46:55 EST 2021

Lanek (Spring) has gotten into the water deep enough to start swimming

[Lanek (Spring)] Lanek: Swimming check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 9!!

[Master] so Lanek is swimming in the cold water

[Master] seriously? no questions? shrinkage?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Menopause cold or regular cold?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (was thinking it but too nice to type it)

[Lanek (Spring)] (hahaha)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (he's still in the water, who'll notice besides him?)

[Lanek (Spring)] (I知 sure he doesn稚 particularly like it, but it's something to do)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Yeah, ZERO questions about that from here)

[Craigh (TMO)] (is that a giant squid?)

[Lanek (Spring)] (and once you flounder around a while, you warm up right?)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (unless you get hyperthermia first?)

[Lanek (Spring)] (there is that)

Lanek (Spring) tries to get a proper workout

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) yells "Find any gods yet!?"

Lanek (Spring) gasps

[Lanek (Spring)] not yet

[Master] brb empty and refill and then you will have answers

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

Branwyn (Lisa) goes ahead and sits in the chair

[Raelynn (Carissa)] What about seaweed? I hear it's good for the skin!

[Craigh (TMO)] (prepare our questions!)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (what is? why? but why? and my favorite: but no, really, why?)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (how????)

[Lanek (Spring)] (well the DM aint here to tell me what I知 experiencing so I dunny! ha)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (why doesn't science matter?)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Did we forget our wagon?)

[Lanek (Spring)] (how do we bring a wagon?)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (what IS a wagon? philosophically, that is?)

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Oh god, don't get me started. I had to try to explain to a roomful of three-year-olds why a giant hay wagon that a horse pulls is also a wagon just like the little wagons at home)

[Master] so the group is here watching Lanek swimming etc.

[Master] Then the seas rise

[Master] waves move vertical into the air

[Indigo (Lisa)] Uh-oh

Raelynn (Carissa) stands up and moves back

[Indigo (Lisa)] LANEK!!

[Master] and there are three images there rising up out of the water into the air

Craigh (TMO) follows in Raelynn's shadow.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] N'laea: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Lanek (Spring)] Lanek: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 17!!

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

[Lanek (Spring)] Lanek: Swimming check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 9!!

[Lanek (Spring)] (aw heck)

[Craigh (TMO)] Craigh: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=10] 10 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (he's too distracted by the shrinkage)

[Lanek (Spring)] (hahahaha)

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) stays as close to Raelynn as possible

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (After vanquishing the featureless void, it is here where I die, to a tsunami... at least that's what it will say at the beginning of my diary entry if I don't die)

[Master] so Lanek gets SPIT out onto the shore

[Master] Lands against the rocks flying through the air

[Master] and then just before SPLAT

[Lanek (Spring)] AAAAaaaaAAAaaaaAAAaaaa

[Master] a spray of water slows him down and lets him onto the shore

[Master] as the group turns to look at the surging seas

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well that is definitely... not how water normally works.

[Lanek (Spring)] AAAaaaAAAAaaaaa aaaa aaaaa ...... ?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol)

[Master] the group can see three figures and goes deaf

Lanek (Spring) checks all his parts that they are intact

[Craigh (TMO)] (I hope his underwear survived)

[Lanek (Spring)] ( I hope so too)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (I'll just assume that apr roll)

[Lanek (Spring)] (especially with company coming)

[Craigh (TMO)] (so we're all deaf now?)

[Master] everyone is deaf yes

[Master] there are no sounds happening

Indigo (Lisa) sticks his fingers in his ears

Lanek (Spring) sticks his little finger in his ear

N'laea (Carissa) covering her ears

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Also, I just need to admit right now that I did NOT do my gnomework this week that I promised to do)

Lanek (Spring) tries to loosen whatever is stuck in there

Craigh (TMO) uses his little finger to wiggle his ear around, see if it's just clogged.

Raelynn (Carissa) holds her hands over her ears, confused if she's deaf or the noise just disappeared

[Craigh (TMO)] (Spring and I are on the same page)

[Lanek (Spring)] (lol I love that we are all doing the same stuff)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (it's okay, Bob only posted half that page)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Yeah, but I was going to do some googling and read up, see if there was anywhere I wanted to try and convince everyone to go or something)

[Master] as you are all there semi stunned looking at what is happening in the water

[Master] you spot one familiar figure of Namsut

Craigh (TMO) watches from beside Raelynn

Lanek (Spring) points

[Master] a large dark shadow of a man

[Master] and a smaller human sized female

[Namsut (Master)] Thank you

Indigo (Lisa) waves

[Master] Then Namsut and Maya? descend down to the shore on the top of a waves

[Master] and the other dark figure recedes down under the surface

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Is that Ahto?

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) smiles

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: Religion - Elf check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 15!!

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Are you Maya?

Lanek (Spring) stares open mouthed

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Can anyone hear me? Wait, can I hear any of you?

[Master] These are the people that brought me here

[Master] (grins exactly Carissa)

[Master] You see Namsut speaking but you cannot hear her

Raelynn (Carissa) frowns and shakes her head

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I can't hear you.

[Craigh (TMO)] (did not get read lips)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: Diagnostics check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

Raelynn (Carissa) trying to figure out if it's magic-based or physical damaged based deafness

[Indigo (Lisa)] (is this our pandemonium present - it can't hurt us if we're all already deaf?)

[Master (to Carissa only)] you can guess that this is temporary

Raelynn (Carissa) shakes ear, waiting for it to go away

[Master] and brb sorry need to confirm a text, someone from work died

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) looks around confused

[Indigo (Lisa)] (ack!)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Hello?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (oof)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Oh no, I'm sorry!)

[Craigh (TMO)] (sorry to hear that)

[Lanek (Spring)] (oh man)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] YOU'LL PROBABLY HEAR AGAIN SOON! CAN YOU READ MY LIPS?

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Ok so sorry about that

[Master] turns out no one actually knows but someone at Main Library died this week from complications from COVID is the guess

[Lanek (Spring)] :-(

[Master] he was out with long COVID for 6 months then returned

[Master] and now four months later

[Master] so sorry for that but the phone was getting crazy notifications

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (no need to apologize imo)

[Master] and now back

[Craigh (TMO)] (sorry)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (ouch, sorry :( )

[Lanek (Spring)] (that sounds so awful)

[Master] so the group is deaf

[Master] you see the Namsut and Maya speaking with the obviously Divine being

[Master] then the waves subside

[Master] and as the air clears

Craigh (TMO) sees Raelynn yelling but can't hear her. He pats her on the shoulder and gives her a thumbs up.

[Master] your hearing slowly emerges

Raelynn (Carissa) stops attempting to speak, gives the anonymous stranger a weak smile

Raelynn (Carissa) shakes head again

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Okay. Now can you all hear me? Or me you?

[Lanek (Spring)] WHAT?!

[Lanek (Spring)] DON'T MUMBLE , IT'S RUDE

[Master] LOL

[Raelynn (Carissa)] PUT SOME CLOTHES ON!

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Um. Hello?

[Lanek (Spring)] I WAS GONNER DO THAT ANYWAY

Raelynn (Carissa) clears her throat and turns back to Namsut and lady, "You were saying?"

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

Lanek (Spring) starts pulling clothes on

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Are you Maya?

Lisa has left the game on Fri Nov 12 21:22:15 EST 2021

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Nov 12 21:22:35 EST 2021

[Indigo (Lisa)] We went deaf because we aren't allowed to hear a god's voice?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Umm, maybe. Or maybe that's just his specific power?

Lanek (Spring) shrugs

[Lanek (Spring)] sounds legit to me

[Namsut (Master)] SO these are the people that lead me to you

Indigo (Lisa) waves again

[Namsut (Master)] This is Maya

Namsut (Master) glares at Branwyn

[Namsut (Master)] OUT

Branwyn (Lisa) stands up

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Yayyy, Maya!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] My apologies

[Master] Maya moved 10'00".

[Master] Maya targets Namsut. Distance: 2'03"

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is good to meet you Maya

[Master] Namsut sets Maya down in the chair and holds the frozen body in her hands

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (still frozen?)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (two bodies or one body? confused)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Namsut (Master)] Yes to Lisa and Yes to Carissa

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I just want to tell y'all that if I could put gifs in this chat, it would be chaos in here.)

[Craigh (TMO)] (lol)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Umm, it's very good to see you two together, but who is... I'm not sure I understand what happened or what's going on?

[Craigh (TMO)] (I've been hoarding those L's in secret, hiding them from Carissa, just for this moment)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (o)

[Namsut (Master)] I am very grateful that you found me

[Lanek (Spring)] (hehhehehe)

[Maya (Master)] You found me

[Maya (Master)] I have been lost without you

[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.

[Namsut (Master)] Except that one fateful morning On that one fateful day

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Are you ok?

[Namsut (Master)] What happened?

Raelynn (Carissa) listening to their love babbling happily

[Namsut (Master)] Rimal

[Maya (Master)] Rimal

[Maya (Master)] He ran off with the locket tangled around him. I think it was a purple? plum? color pool she dove into. I made it someplace safe first. We need to go find her, she must be scared.

[Maya (Master)] WAIT

[Maya (Master)] what is that?

[Maya (Master)] What is that? That is not me, I am me, How did you do that? WOW. Really? you must really do love me. I love you so much, I am, wow, this is, looks around, We should talk more about this in private.

[Namsut (Master)] This is you

[Namsut (Master)] You are here

[Namsut (Master)] I mean

[Master] and I will give anyone an observation and or intuition check

[Craigh (TMO)] Craigh: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (purple, plum or ... magenta pool???)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (.....magenta)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (lol on the same page again)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)

[Master (to TMO only)] Namsut is slightly steaming, as in overheating

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 19!!

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I hope Rimal is like a pet cat or something)

[Lanek (Spring)] Lanek: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=20] 20 - ROLL FAILED against 17!!

[Master (to Lisa only)] Yes to Magenta pool leading to :)

[Namsut (Master)] You were dead! what was I supposed to do!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (OR it's the Abyss.... so both places we're planning to go)

[Maya (Master)] I am not dead

[Maya (Master)] I am

[Maya (Master)] well

[Maya (Master)] I am there? here?

Maya (Master) looks around

[Maya (Master)] Perhaps let us start with Who we are

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (double maya all across the featureless shore... so intense... what does it mean)

Maya (Master) bows at the waist in her wheel chair, I am Shair Maya Al-Saft

[Maya (Master)] Princess of .... well I am not sure if I am still if I am dead

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX0D4oZwCsA

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I'm Raelynn. I'm VERY happy to finally meet you!!

[Maya (Master)] This is my lover Namsut Princess of ... well

[Maya (Master)] perhaps?

[Maya (Master)] Yes go on

[Maya (Master)] Raelynn, you are from?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Priestess of Hanali, Goddess of Love.

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

[Maya (Master)] That is nice of you

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (proper princess courtesy or whatever)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh, I was born near Dryad's Lair, lived in Loosend for a bit.

Maya (Master) beams at Namsut, searching out a Priestess of Love to find me is very touching

Maya (Master) gestures to the next in line

Raelynn (Carissa) smiles

[Maya (Master)] You are?

Indigo (Lisa) bows "I'm Indigo. Nice to meet you Princess Maya"

Maya (Master) smiles and nods

Lanek (Spring) waves genially

Branwyn (Lisa) curtseys deeply "I am Countess Branwyn the Mysterious."

[Lanek (Spring)] is damp and not into talking

Maya (Master) nods to Lanek

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) does her awkward curtsey thing

[Maya (Master)] Welcome Countess Branwyn,

[Maya (Master)] You must be a powerful mage to come all this way

Maya (Master) nods to the wobbling gnome

[Maya (Master)] You are far from your home,

Maya (Master) gestures upwards

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We could not have made it without Namsut, your highness.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Erm. I'm Bixi. I'm just trying to help as best I can.

[Maya (Master)] I am certain you are doing the best you can

N'laea (Carissa) gives small nod, "N'laea."

[Maya (Master)] I am concerned about

[Maya (Master)] Oh,

[Maya (Master)] You are?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (oh no oh no what is she concerned about)

[N'laea (Carissa)] (ask her)

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Erm. I don't want to interrupt but concerned about what?

[Maya (Master)] To be crass, Am I dead?

[Namsut (Master)] Not Yet

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Raelynn: Diagnostics check: (d20) [1d20=9] 9 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Let's see...

[Maya (Master)] That is not comforting

[Namsut (Master)] YOU disappeared!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well if you aren't dead yet, you can still be saved.

[Namsut (Master)] Then you died

[Namsut (Master)] Then I

[Namsut (Master)] well

[Namsut (Master)] you are not actually dead yet

[Namsut (Master)] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4ftmOI5NnI

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (she's getting better!)

[Namsut (Master)] You are just mostly dead

[Maya (Master)] But what the? how the?

[Namsut (Master)] I save your body

[Namsut (Master)] what did you go?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (I was gonna say... if that's not a link to the princess bride, I need to leave this group lol)

[Maya (Master)] I went through the closest pool

[Maya (Master)] But then Rimal He ran off with the locket tangled around him. I think it was a purple? plum? color pool she dove into. I made it someplace safe first. We need to go find her, she must be scared.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Um who is Rimal?

[Namsut (Master)] We can do this, we just need to combine the two bodies

[Namsut (Master)] We can do this it will just take time, maybe a week? two?

[Maya (Master)] But we need to go save him, what are we going to do?

[Namsut (Master)] Are you serious! You are worried about that cat more than your own body?!?

[Maya (Master)] She is scared

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (It is a cat!? Did we already talk about that last week or something?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no first time news)

[Maya (Master)] (yes pronoun is a female sorry for the mistyping)

[Maya (Master)] Look we need to save her

[Maya (Master)] then we can

[Namsut (Master)] You need to stay here.... well someplace... actually yes not here

[Namsut (Master)] We need to get you back to the Astral Plane

[Namsut (Master)] NOW

[Namsut (Master)] WHOOOOOOOOOSH

[Namsut (Master)] and suddenly everyone is back from the Twin Paradises and back on the Astral Plane

[Master] everyone is disoriented again

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (well ok)

Indigo (Lisa) whispers to Lanek "Did that whooshing dry you out?"

[Master] and then recovers after a few moment

Lanek (Spring) abruptly sits down

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

[Lanek (Spring)] I caint really tell?

[Lanek (Spring)] am I damp or just cold?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Both?

Lanek (Spring) nodding

[Lanek (Spring)] prolly

[Lemon] I am away from the keyboard.

[Namsut (Master)] We need to go home

[Namsut (Master)] Well we need to go to your home

[Namsut (Master)] We need to get you back in your body

[Maya (Master)] I am in my bo.... dy

[Maya (Master)] I

Maya (Master) breathes out

[Maya (Master)] I cannot be in two bodies at once

[Maya (Master)] what will happen?

[Namsut (Master)] I will save you

[Namsut (Master)] Just as you saved me

Maya (Master) looks over at Raelyn

[Maya (Master)] You

[Maya (Master)] You know love

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Yes?

[Maya (Master)] You understand

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh, yes! I joined this priesthood for a reason!

[Maya (Master)] I need you to go rescue Rimal for me, bring her home to me

Raelynn (Carissa) nods

[Maya (Master)] We will be in the City of Intrigue, Hiyal

[Raelynn (Carissa)] The City of Intrigue?

[Namsut (Master)] We will be there,

[Namsut (Master)] But she will not be there

[Namsut (Master)] at least

[Namsut (Master)] she will not know who she is

[Master] (TMO your observation from before is still happening)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] You're not going back to your tower first?

Craigh (TMO) is watching Namsut closely.

[Maya (Master)] Yes I am going to my tower

[Namsut (Master)] yes to her tower not that one you found me in

[Namsut (Master)] we only stayed there temporarily when we were stranded there,

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But her belongings ...

[Namsut (Master)] Maya has her own mage tower in Hiyal

Craigh (TMO) comments quietly in Raelynn's ear, "Namsut is steaming. That doesn't look ... healthy."

[Namsut (Master)] Her books and scrolls? You can keep them as a reward

Branwyn (Lisa) eyes widen

Raelynn (Carissa) quietly, "As in steaming mad? Or... steaming magic?"

[Maya (Master)] I think I should have a say

[Maya (Master)] ah yes

Maya (Master) looks at Branwyn

[Maya (Master)] Take what you can from the tower, it was a lovely vacation spot

[Maya (Master)] what did you mean by ice?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Th ... thank you

[Namsut (Master)] I put up a protection

Namsut (Master) swallows

[Namsut (Master)] We should go

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Wait wait

[Maya (Master)] Yes?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Was the pool that Rimal jumped into more of an amethyst or magenta color

[Maya (Master)] Raelynn, Priestess of Love

[Maya (Master)] Plum? Magenta?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We don't want to search in the wrong place

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Rimal went to a Plane of Plum or Purple, correct? How will we return after?

[Lemon] I am back at the keyboard.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Or before? Or... between if we need things to search for Rimal?

[Maya (Master)] You have your own powerful mage

[Maya (Master)] you will go save Rimal and return her to me

[Maya (Master)] and you will be rewarded

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I can take us to Pandemonium

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh yes, she very much is, but I don't know about traveling...

Maya (Master) nods

[Maya (Master)] See

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh. Is that where we're going?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is in a magenta color pool

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Do we need anything to go there? The planes all seem.... different.

[Maya (Master)] Countess Branwyn the Mysterious is quite capable in her skills

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But where is your tower so we may return Rimal and your locket?

Namsut (Master) gritting her teeth

[Namsut (Master)] NOW

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Back in your home desert, I'm guessing.

[Maya (Master)] the city of Hiyal

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you. We shall find it

[Master] and they are gone

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Um.... so we're stuck here?

[Master] the silence of the featureless plane

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummmmm ....

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] That's a pessimistic way of looking at it

[Lanek (Spring)] awright now what

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] So... yes, I agree. We're stuck here

Raelynn (Carissa) sighs, "I DO understand love of a pet, but er, I had thought we'd go home first before we searched? Or have an easy way home?"

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I suppose we should check what pool it was?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We are not stuck here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There is a pool that will take us home. We just have to go there.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I just hope it isn't too far away.

Raelynn (Carissa) nods

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Do we need to go home first?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Ok but if we go to the pool the cat jumped in first... can we get back out?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Because the physical form in the Astral plane has no silver cord, the physical astral traveler must find a color pool to his home plane and use it to get back home.)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (assuming this is how we'll get to Hiyal is via Astral Plane)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (otherwise it'll be a bit of a long journey)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have only done limited research on Pandemonium. I do not think it wise to jump in without doing some preparation first

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we could teleport from the inn if we do enough research to get a good picture of it)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (like Alice in Wonderland. Jumping down an unknown rabbit hole to chase a cat)

[Master] grins

[Master] bows

[Master] and you wondered why you would want to go to Pandemonium

[Master] Who here would let a cat to linger in such a place?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it wasn't for a cat in my wonderings)

[Lisa] Yes the Mist is coming! We have to get away!

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Who takes a cat to the astral plane?)

Lisa grabs the cat and leaves the lover

[Lanek (Spring)] (wouldn't it depend on what the cat is like)

[Master] and also who here would question a cat going off to disappear in Pandemonium

[Carissa] Is it even a normal cat?? Probably a leopard or something

[Carissa] Eh, cats do whatever the hell they want. Not going to question that.

[Master] I will admit after re-reading this that the locket part might have been clearer

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (that's why dogs.)

[Master] as in DON"T EAT THAT GIVE IT BACK

[Master] hair ties, etc.

[Carissa] Yep totally normal

[Spring] legit

[Master] so tell me how are you going to get home?

[Master] and TMO venture a guess about what you observed?

[Lisa] think of color pool that will take us home

[Lisa] click click etc.

[Craigh (TMO)] (I have nothing beyond what Craigh said. It feels unhealthy somehow, but I don't know why)

[Craigh (TMO)] (sorry)

[Master] fair enough

[Lemon] evaporation?

[Craigh (TMO)] (I'm on Spring's page tonight, not Bob's. :) )

[Spring] (kind of feeling a little blank)

[Lisa] she was using magic to force life into one of the bodies until she could merge them?

[Master] There you go Lisa

[Lisa] magic overload with all that concentration

[Carissa] sounds reasonable

[Spring] (I totally did not pick up on that vibe)

[Spring] (shocker)

[Carissa] (TMO did you steal my e??)

[Craigh (TMO)] (heheheheheheeeeeeeee)

[Lisa] lol

[Master] HAH

[Master] Ok so to short cut things for you

[Master] clicking to a color pool that goes back to your prime material plane

[Master] what scene are you picturing?

[Lisa] the Inn

[Craigh (TMO)] (yes)

[Lisa] Disneyland!

[Craigh (TMO)] (wrong!)

[Lemon] lol

[Carissa] wait wait

[Craigh (TMO)] (bad Lisa!)

[Lisa] lol

[Master] grins actually........

[Carissa] do we first want to look at "color pool Rimal jumped in" to make sure?

[Master] You get to pick which Prime Plane you go to so you could go to one with or without aspects

[Carissa] I was going to say then look for him, but forget we need place not object for that

[Carissa] but also Disneyland sounds fun. We should go there!

[Master] I take it you want to go back to where you came from and not an idealized maybe better version of where you are from

[Craigh (TMO)] (to the Car Wars universe!)

[Master] HAH

[Master] not quite ready to run that yet

[Spring] if we try a variant, we might wind up on a freaky ass lousy variant like what the players are in now

[Spring] since 2012 when reality went off the rails

[Lisa] can we confirm the color pool and then go home?

[Lemon] Plus don't we want to make sure we get back to the tower full of books that we just were given?

[Master] you can do what ever you wish

[Carissa] sounds good to me

[Craigh (TMO)] (booooooookkkkssssss...)

[Carissa] I mean we can also take a good look into Pandemonium and be disheartened before going home. IC that is.

[Lisa] Branwyn definitely wants to get in that tower

[Lisa] LOL

[Master] with the Amulet of the Planes you will not need a color pool to go to Pandemonium

[Lemon] Definitely in favor of taking a look if it's not too far away

[Lisa] yes

[Carissa] Right but we should make sure that's the correct plane because why not? :P

[Master] If you can come up with a scene to scry through a color pool then yes it is worth checking out

[Master] so you can shift directly to that place later on

[Carissa] Branwyn, who is the smartest of us all, thinks, "20 ft in front of the color pool Rimal jumped into"

[Lisa] sure because cats sleep for like 20 hours a day. The cat will probably be in the same place when we get back

[Carissa] And then Branwyn, who knows more about Pandemonium, thinks of a the coziest spot in Pandemonium she can consider and looks there for the sleeping cat

[Carissa] Or I guess anyone can look into the pool. But I'm going all on INT here

[Lemon] sounds legit

[Master] Spring Carissa and Lisa know cats

[Master] I am letting you lead

[Carissa] Maybe there's a fireplace or a sunbeam or a plastic bag for the stupid cat to chew on because cats do stupid things like that.

[Master] Lemon sounds like a dog person

[Carissa] LOL

[Lemon] or a box

[Lisa] but who said it was probably a leopard or panther?

[Lemon] I know cats like boxes

[Carissa] Me, lol

[Lisa] I am thinking house cat but jungle cat is probably right

[Carissa] She's from a desert. It can't be a normal cat. Do mages keep normal, household cats??

[Lisa] some do as familiars

[Lemon] do mages keep normal anything?

[Lisa] but almost any animal can be a familiar

[Carissa] lol okay fair, I just assumed not many did

[Lisa] you need to put effort into it, learn a spell, etc.

[Lisa] so you are right that not many have them - at least that I have seen

[Lisa] Howard probably needs a pet though

[Craigh (TMO)] (I thought about one for Craigh - but the hp loss if it ever died (and it would because "Bob") would have killed Craigh)

[Carissa] Maybe once he levels!

[Craigh (TMO)] (he's 8th level and has 22 hp. It's not going to matter, he's rolled like crap every level. :) )

[Craigh (TMO)] (1d4 + 7d6 = 22)

[Lemon] heck, I have more hp than that

[Lisa] but now that he has the magic dice it will be better

[Craigh (TMO)] (BOB! Can I reroll his hp with the magic dice?)

[Carissa] lol!

[Master] HAH

[Master] So in the interest of moving things along and a bit of safety

[Master] Branwyn thinks of the Inn and locates a color pool that will take you back home

[Lisa] good

[Master] Then Branwyn can click click to find a magenta pool to scry Pandemonium

[Lisa] she can do no such thing

[Master] ok

[Lisa] she is no scryer

[Master] up to you

[Master] chuckles

[Lisa] not will not, cannot

[Master] I leave it to the group

[Carissa] thought it was just looking through like for Twin Paradise

[Spring] she can find the magenta pool and someone else can scry?

[Lisa] we're back at the Inn now

[Master] while you are here on the Astral Plane you can do what you wish

[Carissa] not yet at the inn

[Master] or just CLICK and be back at the Inn after going through the pool back home

[Lisa] for the color pools we need to picture places and can't picture people or things

[Carissa] right, but we can confirm Rimal pool is magenta pool. We don't even need to think of him. We can just think of a place or feature Branwyn once read about in her research to see what awaits us

[Craigh (TMO)] (Craigh is not barred from divination school)

[Carissa] Similar to what we just did with Maya

[Lisa] sorry I thought when he said we found the inn pool we went

[Carissa] ah gotcha

[Carissa] if it's still up in the air, still voting magenta/Rimal pool before we jump back to the inn

[Lisa] ok

[Lisa] second

[Master] all opposed?

[Spring] yes

[Lemon] agreed

[Spring] not opposed

[Master] the Ayes have it

[Spring] the yes was supposed to be before opposed

[Lisa] lol

[Master] you click click click to the magenta pool where Rimal went through

[Master] What do you think of to look through it?

[Craigh (TMO)] (can we think of the locket?)

[Carissa] Hmm...

[Carissa] No has to be a place or scene

[Master] Scene not a thing or a being

[Craigh (TMO)] (Scene: Cat with a locket)

[Lemon] lol

[Carissa] lol

[Spring] heh

[Master] Other ideas? smile

[Carissa] Reading....

[Lemon] how about like, a nice secluded area where we can hide out undiscovered if need be?

[Craigh (TMO)] (I would suggest a place a cat would view as 'safety')

[Carissa] So light is limited so I'd think maybe a place where it'd be less so... like one of the main cities or something...

[Carissa] I mean it's only partially to look for the cat. Part of this is just so our characters know what they're getting into

[Lemon] do we really want to jump into a city?

[Lemon] not being snarky, genuinely asking

[Carissa] We're not jumping

[Carissa] We're just looking

[Carissa] Looking then back to the inn, regroup, THEN to Pandemonium via Amulet

[Lemon] yeah but when we jump later that's where we're going to go, no?

[Lisa] Cats generally hate wind and all the caves and tunnels are full of wind

[Carissa] Nope. Probably.

[Lemon] or when we amulet later. it has to be somewhere we have a good mental image of?

[Craigh (TMO)] (So just pick a cavern, look at it to see what it's like?)

[Lisa] places likely without wind are also probably the most dangerous'

[Lisa] Loki's place or the Bugbear god

[Lisa] If I was a cat where would I go?

[Lisa] if you scry I believe you can picture objects or creatures

[Carissa] Apparently not on the heated blanket because whiny.

[Master] hah

[Lisa] so maybe scry before trying to visualize in the pool

[Master] electrical blankets

[Lisa] my cats would never leave the electric blankets

[Carissa] My current characters can't scry

[Carissa] One cat is on it. Other cat prefers my lap.

[Lisa] wasn't Raelynn fortune telling at the inn?

[Carissa] Augury if we want to ask questions

[Lisa] where is the cat?

[Craigh (TMO)] (we could always try scrying for guides or hints as well, probably from back home)

[Lisa] also yes

[Master] Tonight is the end of this story arc

[Lisa] we can pick a scene to pull up in the pool but I doubt it would be successful

[Master] next week is Home Stories

[Master] where you do that sort of thing

[Master] organize research short side quest for materials needed

[Carissa] How about we just look at the pool and think, "Largest city in Pandemonium?"

[Master] then the next week or the week after you will go head off into Pandemonium

[Carissa] If we're lucky, we might see what creatures inhabit. See big caves in the distance. Or them all being miserable and whipped about by the wind?

[Master] the key point of concern is you are there on the Astral Plane now, with no way back to it

[Carissa] Worry about cat focus until after

[Lemon] I have a feeling if we need to come back, our DM will find a way to get us back

[Carissa] All right, think we're getting stuck back in the weeds. My goal was just to see Pandemonium. Not focused on looking for cat through the pool.

[Lisa] think that would be Loki's place

[Carissa] We can look at Loki's place if we want

[Carissa] Anything our curious hearts desire! Just figure we're here, why not.

[Craigh (TMO)] (ah yes... Loki's "Hidden Realm", that can be seen from thousands of miles away.... Typical Loki)

[Carissa] Although Loki's realm is hidden...

[Carissa] lol exactly

[Lemon] lol

[Lisa] pick a place and we'll do it

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

[Lemon] TMO where'd you get that extra "I"?

[Craigh (TMO)] (I would do an empty cavern. Don't want to attract unnecessary attention

[Craigh (TMO)] (took one from Michael. He won't notice)

[Lemon] Poor Michael

[Carissa] Yep that's fine. Either empty cavern or "busy city" or something mundane

[Carissa] Or Styx?

[Lemon] Or like, the outskirts of the city? Best of both worlds?

[Carissa] I'm going to take that hint and vote: View the River Styx

[Master] LOL

[Carissa] ...and hope Charon doesn't demand his chalice back if he notices us

[Master] I was just resurfacing it because of the talk about how to get from place to place

[Carissa] We got a chalice! We good.

[Master] Yggdrasil and the River Styx

[Master] As I said at least a night of debate and research

[Lemon] Oh so we could get back, but if Lanek decided to go for a swim, he'd all forget everything or drown or something. cool.

[Carissa] Nah that's just old age

[Spring] hehehe

[Spring] and multiple level losses

[Master] so from what I have heard the idea is to use the Magenta pool to look at a scene (something something) city

[Master] what is the clarification

[Carissa] Popular? Pet friendly city?

[Lemon] lol yes. maybe a cat cafe

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you have not read the pandemonium page fully I take it)

[Carissa] City with most cat cafes

[Carissa] lol it's not living entity friendly at all

[Carissa] although I do love the contradictions: "Pandemonium has no known native life"

[Carissa] "Finally, the huge caverns (hundreds of miles across and high) are filled with continual wind, which at its lowest point tugs at the clothing as a strong breeze and at its highest (10% chance per 10 turns) can lift up to 100 lbs. in the air and carry it for 1d6 miles (damage on landing is 4d6, subject to modifications for the terrain in the landing area). Native creatures are immune to this effect."

[Carissa] No native life yet native life has immunity.

[Carissa] ANYWAYS sorry this is taking long. Let's just view something. Big cavern. Citadel. Anything. Just to see what it reveals.

[Craigh (TMO)] (need to step away for a few brb)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (pick something! why do I have to pick?)

[Carissa] City. Done.

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Carissa] And mostly leaning on Branwyn having done research and having high INT

[Lemon] those winds are going to be a problem, I知 smaller than that

Branwyn (Lisa) concentrates on seeing a city on pandemonium

[Master] The pool swirls

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Roll #1: (d100) [1d100=14] 14

[Carissa] (nice!)

[Master] there is a bridge over a river with bodies hanging by nooses off of it, they sway in the ceaseless winds

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well that's....lovely....

[Master] either side of the river there are stone houses that seem wet

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) cringes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is not pretty. I should be able to move the viewer forward but it might attract attention

[Master] you spot a gang of dwarves hauling wagons of ore out of nearby building down towards the river bridge

[Master] and the scene goes dark

[Raelynn (Carissa)] I would really like to go home before we go... there.

[Spring] was it obvious from a distance what races the bodies were?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] OH!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Maybe take a nice, long bath to prepare....

Branwyn (Lisa) steps back

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Someone or something shut the portal down

[Raelynn (Carissa)] That's not ominous at all!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It's supposed to stay visible for a day

[Master] The dwarves moving ore were obvious, the bodies hanging from the bridge were human sized but unable to tell the particular racial makeup

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Unless someone more powerful can sense us and shut it down

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Well that bodes well...

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Should we.... maybe get going then? Can they reach us from here?

[Master] and Branwyn is uncertain if someone shut it down to prevent you from viewing or if the scene went dark from lack of light

[Master] and if that lack of light was natural or intentional

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (neither makes it less ominous)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but I didn't try to move it)

[Master] yes to Lisa

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Someone either shut the portal or a darkness passed over the area we were viewing

[Raelynn (Carissa)] That doesn't make me feel much better.

[Master] you can stay here to see if you can see more

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think we are fine but I don't think there is anything more to see here without waiting

[Master] or move away in case something comes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We did not see a cat

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Honestly, I think I'm ready to go back to the sunshine for a little bit

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hopefully we will not return to this part of the plane

Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon) shudders

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I agree Bixi

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Well cats are hard to fine. At least we know where we're going?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] *find

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes this is the right plane. It just isn't a good one

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (Notoriously skipping out on their parking tickets)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Master] HAH

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Mm, but yes, I'm ready to soak in some more sun before we go there.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good so let us go back to the Inn

Branwyn (Lisa) mutters "Before we all get Mist sick again"

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] You're back!

[Spring] I am away from the keyboard.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] (how long has Howard been waiting?)

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Hi Howard!

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Was it wonderful? Awe inspiring?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] We reunited them!! Namsut found her love and they're STILL in love!! It was SO fulfilling!

[Raelynn (Carissa)] But now we need to find their pet cat.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Uplifting and a little terrifying

[Howard Plum (Master)] How are you back? You just left a couple of hours ago

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Cat?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Yes! Rimal! She ran off with a locket and jumped into a magenta color pool and it does NOT look like a nice place to go next..

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh. And we found a silver pool to get back. Has it really been a few hours? Time moves REALLY odd there.

Craigh (TMO) waits a paranoid moment just to make sure no one is going to jump is in the real world.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Or doesn't move? Hmm...

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Oh yes. I hadn't even gone back inside yet. I was enjoying the sunshine and petting Pylon.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] That's smart. Pandemonium looks like it doesn't know what sun is. WORSE than the Mist.

Howard Plum (Lisa) shudders

Craigh (TMO) shakes himself and drops his spell. "Ugh. It's draining staying that gray for that long."

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (yay Bixi!)

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] But Namsut did not return. What about the tower?

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Oh. She let Branwyn have it.

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Maya and Namsut went back to Hiyal. So once we find her cat we need to meet her there.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (yay!)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The books and scrolls. They gave them all to us

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles happily

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] But the ice wall?

[Craigh (TMO)] Might be gone, maybe. Won't know until we get there.

[Howard Plum (Lisa)] Oh

[Master] One more thing

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] Countess?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] You are back?

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] Or did you even leave yet?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes Gerry. We are.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We went and came back

Gerry the barkeep (Master) nods slightly confused

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] This arrived for you this morning

Gerry the barkeep (Master) holds out a scroll with a red ribbon

Craigh (TMO) muses on writing a book titled "There and Back Again"

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the scroll and eyes widen

[Raelynn (Carissa)] (ah yes because that wasn't in our plans)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] "Dammit!"

Indigo (Lisa) looks and rolls his eyes "They're back!"

Craigh (TMO) looks at it curiously

[Raelynn (Carissa)] Who?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Gerry, I'll take it. Please never, ever open a scroll with a red ribbon on it.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You must always hold them for me and I'll take care of it

[Gerry the barkeep (Master)] I would never open any correspondence

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They are dangerous

[Indigo (Lisa)] I dunno. What if you just toss it past the gate into the Mist without opening it

[Indigo (Lisa)] You don't want to let a bunch of hell hounds loose at the inn anyway

[N'laea (Carissa)] Hell Hounds?

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] What!?

[Indigo (Lisa)] Branadarus will laugh!

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs

[Craigh (TMO)] Will it even work inside the Mist?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have a demon mark on me from opening a book that belongs in hell.

[Craigh (TMO)] Really?

[Spring] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am being hunted while out of the Mist and these scrolls will release evil creatures

[Craigh (TMO)] Sounds like fun.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I need to return that book one of these days now that the inn is here

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] Would that get rid of the mark?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] They keep getting stronger the more we opened them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope so. Someone wants his book back

[N'laea (Carissa)] Do you have to open them?

Craigh (TMO) chuckles. "Get on a small raft in the middle of a deep lake and open it."

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] (lol, are they like howlers?)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] No but if I don't they keep coming. I had over half a dozen at one time

[N'laea (Carissa)] Ah.

[Bixi Fizzlebang (Lemon)] They don't seem to take up that much room? Just store them?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'll take this one past the gate and see what happens.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo is right that Tiberius would like to be there if we open one again

[N'laea (Carissa)] Have you opened them all? Or do you have some stored for him to open later?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We were able to destroy some

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But they would replace actual correspondence or maps

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Once we entered the Mist it all stopped

N'laea (Carissa) small smile, "Well that is troublesome. I simply wondered if you had some left to placate him if you open this one."

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Any scrolls would come here. I should leave before more arrive

[Master] and scene

[Master] grins

[Master] welcome home

[Branwyn (Lisa)] lol

[Carissa] yay puppies!

[Lisa] Carissa were you here for the red scrolls before?

[Lemon] It's important to make the dog people happy too lol

[Carissa] When we opened on in Dryad's Lair, and I think some map of Ilero's had to be careful with?

[Carissa] So some of it

[Carissa] But I feel like I still missed a chunk of it enough to confuse me sometimes, lol

[Lisa] we had fire elemental, flying imp with rod that zapped your STR, hell hounds multiplied from 2 to 4 to 8 etc.

[Lisa] they just seemed to keep getting worse each time we opened them

[Carissa] Ooof yeah, I only knew the hell hounds. I didn't know you had other creatures, too

[Craigh (TMO)] (still think opening it underwater would be fun)

[Carissa] lol

[TMO] But I have an odd sense of fun

[Carissa] if only you got that before we went to the sea

[Lisa] probably safer

[Lisa] thought we did the fire elemental or something in the fountain with an unseen servant spell

[TMO] I only remember the hell hound

[Carissa] Same.

[Master] Diplomatic Entanglements is the Era they are talking about Lemon

[Lisa] after the hell hounds appeared in the salon we opened them all in the courtyard after that

[Master] if you go looking for things on the site

[Carissa] I do remember courtyard fighting. I don't think I remember others, either didn't happen or I forgot

[Carissa] Either way, good to know more than hounds may come out

[Carissa] or bad to know

[Lisa] anyway the scrolls are disruptive and annoying :)

[Carissa] lol yes now that I've caught on to :)

[Master] so next week I will be here but distracted the first hour or so

[Master] but we will be working on plotting and planning

[TMO] I've been very easily distracted with Craigh - he hasn't really caught on with me yet. Hopefully he will someday. ;)

[Master] I expect that the using the amulet to shift to Pandemonium will happen at the end of the evening

[Master] or first thing the next session

[Master] depending on the ideas planning and searching you need to do

[Carissa] How about we go find a pet store and find her a replacement look-alike pet?

[Lemon] seems like we need earplugs

[Master] laughs with Carissa

[Lisa] lol

[Master] also note the commentary on lighting

[Lisa] yes

[Carissa] Might need more continual light objects but also someone may mug us for one

[Spring] sorry I知 falling asleep

[Lisa] how do you want to handle the tower library?

[Spring] gnite yall

[Carissa] (night)

[Master] night Spring

[Lisa] Goodnight Spring!

Spring has left the game on Fri Nov 12 23:39:04 EST 2021

[TMO] Craigh would be happy to help you collect and catalogue

[Master] and that is up to you Lisa you can go off and explore that next week if you like

[Lisa] of course

[TMO] I'm fading too, sadly

[Lisa] well since they were plane travelers I would like to see if there are useful items there

[Master] you have "a week or so" to rescue Rimal

[Carissa] yes now that she won't freeze you exploring

[Lisa] okay so next week everyone

[Master] so using already made magic items good, creating new ones will be very iffy

[Lisa] yes

[Carissa] we got a week to figure it out, an until Tuesday for a good epiphany

[Master] but perhaps a scroll or two is possible

[Lisa] ok

[Lemon] Yeah if you have one Wednesday it doesn't count

[Master] chuckles

[Lisa] Goodnight all! :)

[Carissa] Night!

[Master] have a great night

Carissa has left the game on Fri Nov 12 23:41:58 EST 2021

Lisa has left the game on Fri Nov 12 23:41:58 EST 2021

[Lemon] Goodnight friends!

Lemon has left the game on Fri Nov 12 23:42:10 EST 2021
