GM: Hello there

LorieD (Licornah ): Hey there... was trying IC and OOC and adjusting dice settings earlier -- sorry if it messed anything up

Licornah : I'm multi-tasking with Teagan so... will be ready at 7. Hope you had a good day :)

GM: It was good

GM: No worries on the previous stuff

GM: After tonight will be good to have a full chat to look over again

LorieD (Licornah ): I was pondering that... couldn't you do a find / replace to remove the sort of stuff that clutters?

GM: that is what I am doing

Licornah : gotcha... interesting that it still showed up then (or will that be new?)

LorieD (Licornah ): (sorry forgot OOC click))

GM: I am going to add a new column to the chat history page for next year

LorieD (Licornah ): :: nod :: makes sense -- let me know if you need help with formatting or anything.

GM: Raw chat with only line breaks added, a formatted chat that is after I go through the find and replace

GM: then the next is a story chat where somone can remove the game mechanic things etc

GM: I just need to put together a macro to handle the multiple find and replace pass throughs

LorieD (Licornah ): :: nod :: macros are so fun :X

GM: Grins

LorieD (Licornah ): All set for the holidays?

GM: I think so

GM: the 24th driving up to Tampa

GM: coming home on the 26th

GM: IF she comes back with me then done, if not going back up there on the 31st and back on the 2nd

LorieD (Licornah ): Gotcha... you'll be busy. I think we're staying home but we'll have all the girls here. Usual fondue for New Years Eve. Some of the family up north isn't vaccinated and we're not willing to chance it up there

GM: NOPE

GM: Jo-Ann and Mario's 5th anniversary this past Tuesday only people invited were triple vaxed and it was outside

Image: Duergar Stronghold

GM: There is the map for you that I will share later

LorieD (Licornah ): I saw... it was good to see how happy they looked. Glad she could surprise him :)

LorieD (Licornah ): ... okay because it's black right now (question mark)?

GM: DOH

GM: Also this latest update has a bug I think

GM: I am getting a bunch of errors as I try things

Image: Duergar Stronghold

GM: How is the lighting now?

LorieD (Licornah ): it's throwing errors "script execution error: [scripts/manager....

GM: It is showing me what the players view is and it has the cats there in the central room lit up but it will not let me put your icon on the map

LorieD (Licornah ): it's just a black map to me (and those errors pop when I click on the icon).

'springdew' connected

GM: I will see if disabling some of the extensions fixes that

GM: and Hello Spring

LorieD (Licornah ): :: waves :: Evening Spring -- how are you?

springdew (Lanek): hi hi! i made it to now! how are you?

GM: Life is good, very glad you are recovered there

springdew (Lanek): :-D

GM: and just checked the FGU Discord and it is a core rules error not a 2nd edition error so we will just muddle through tonight

LorieD (Licornah ): Indeed...made it to now and it's not snowing here :)

Licornah : Gotcha BOB

GM: Not snowing here either

Lanek: hooray not snowing!!!

LorieD (Licornah ): :: laughs :: and good to hear -- I'd worry if it was

GM: Spring try the Alt key for OOC stuff

GM: see how that works for you

springdew (Lanek): i just forgot one time

GM: grins no worries

GM: just testing the different ways of doing this

GM: Carissa likes having her icon there to switch between IC and OOC

GM: Michael seems to like the Alt key

springdew (Lanek): i have not yet got the most recent VM running

GM: just want people to try things

springdew (Lanek): i'm on the laptop this time

GM: gotcha

Lanek: but next i'm trying Chrome Virtual Desktop on Debian

springdew (Lanek): shoot forgot again

Lanek: (LINK)

GM: That will be interesting to see how you can interact with FGU through various interfaces

GM: Michael and Carissa will both be in just running late

'MadamePsychosis' connected

GM: Hello there Lisa

LorieD (Licornah ): Evening all

MadamePsychosis: Hello

Springity Thingity: hi hi hi!

GM: Glad you all were able to log in, how bad was the update for you?

MadamePsychosis: Not bad at all except it wanted to do it again today

GM: Yes

GM: and there is an error in this latest update

GM: We will work through it tonight

'LemonyLemon' connected

GM: How many items are there on the list when you update Lisa?

MadamePsychosis: 19

GM: Lorie? Spring? Lemon? do you see that same number?

GM: for reference I have 108

LorieD (Licornah ): where would I see it?

MadamePsychosis: the log or how many updates it said it was doing?

GM: When you do the update it gives a running total

MadamePsychosis: it said 19 updates but my log went nutso

GM: and Lemon are you on break now after today?

Lemon: Yes!

GM: nice

Lemon: I do not see a number though?

GM: Do you start back January 10th? or earlier?

Lemon: 3rd

GM: ouch

GM: 24 36 42 HIKE

GM: you see those numbers? grins

Lemon: Lol, I'm used to retail, two weeks off feels like an absolute miracle

Springity Thingity: i was in another window

GM: It is the same here, I just keep hoping someone is taking an extra week in January to enjoy

Springity Thingity: i think it's 19

GM: so an experiment on the map

Image: Duergar Stronghold

GM: Can anyone see that?

LorieD (Licornah ): No

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): no

Springity Thingity: i just see purple text

GM: damn

Springity Thingity: with a square dragon next to it

LorieD (Licornah ): error

GM: what I see is a circular room with four cats in it and as they move around the view changes based on walls and how much they can see

Springity Thingity: when i clicked the square dragon i got a black square

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): I clicked the dragon box and a window popped up but it is all black

GM: Ok

GM: I will explore more, not sure if it is a BOB error or an update error

'mharmon1' connected

GM: Welcome Michael

Image: Duergar Stronghold

GM: How about that?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): still black

LorieD (Licornah ): ^^^^

Lemon: same

Talwin: ^^^

GM: grrrrrr

Lemon: Wait, did we decide it's easier for OOC this way or for the alt text way

GM: At this point we do not know

GM: I have some find and replace set up for both

Lemon: So no preference atm?

GM: Pro - fewer icons, Con - might be more work to use Alt than click on a different icon?

GM: I think everyone has to develop a new muscle memory, I know that I do, in the chat you saw at least two times I used a Klooge command that just spawns a bunch of garbage

Talwin: just the way it is :(

Talwin: :)

Lemon: Lol, I was just going to say, for me it's a matter of just acquiring the muscle memory to hit alt, I don't feel strongly either way, so I'm happy to switch to whichever way is easiest for whoever is impacted

GM: We are ready to start and when they get here they get here

GM: I would very much like for you to wrap this up tonight so I do not do it by Fiat but tonight is the last night of this story arc

Springity Thingity: woo hooo! i got Chrome Remote Desktop running. now to install FGU ...

'Master TMO' connected

GM: grins at Spring working her IT Magic

GM: and Hello TMO

mharmon1 (Talwin): also spring will get UPS to give me a shippin number tomorrow. This is asinine at this point

Springity Thingity: oh hi Michael. i didn't see you come in

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): I don't see people come in and so I say hello even if I don't say hello when you arrive

Talwin: Hello!

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Hello :-)

Lemon: I also do not see people come in

Springity Thingity: at this point, it's probably better to wait until after New Year because i'll be at a different address

Lemon: Hello everyone

GM: I am sorry Spring, your laptop is caught up in the supply chain fiasco so Michael will have to self flaggleate to make sure things are corrected

Springity Thingity: i'hahahaha

Talwin: Hey, first FedEx shipped it back to me as undeliverable

Talwin: I'm doing hte best I can LOL

GM: grins

Springity Thingity: i ordered the dogs their flea stuff and heartworm stuff and useed the 5-7 day option because they said orders are running 7-10 days later than that

GM: OOC Michael

mharmon1 (Talwin): right. sorry

mharmon1 (Talwin): getting some used to

Springity Thingity: so it should arrive in NC after i get there, but there's a chance they'll get there early and forward here

GM: just a gentle nudge, I want everyone to experiment with what they find best

Springity Thingity: and arrive after i'm gone

Master TMO: 'ello

Springity Thingity: hi TMO!

Talwin: Hi TMO!

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Hello TMO

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hi TMO

Springity Thingity: i like OOC this way when it's a longer discussion and using ALT when we are in scene but making an OOC comment

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Springity Thingity: the same way we used to use parentheses

GM: Thank you for sharing that Spring

mharmon1 (Talwin): I agree, but not sure how to create a PC only discussion character. I really think I should just get used to alt unfortunately

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not end of world

Springity Thingity: i just created a new character

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol well that is an option I hadn't considered fully haah

Lemon: Same. Just a new character, named it Lemon

Master TMO: I made a 14th level mage.

Springity Thingity: trying to find the icons was tricky and i don't actually remember how i did it

GM: I am taking notes TMO

Lemon: Lol, I didn't bother choosing literally anything on my character

GM: grins

Springity Thingity: me neither

GM: So Lisa what does everyone need to know before jumping to the room with the cats, and WHEN are you doing that? waiting a day for everyone to have full spells again? or?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): did anyone even use any spells?

GM: Bixi

mharmon1 (Talwin): I didn't :)

Lemon: Yeah, although I don't even remember what I used

GM: charmed the snakes

Lemon: Ohhhh, yesss

Lemon: A spell I never expected would be particularly useful

MadamePsychosis: feel like you will doe with 1 spell missing?

MadamePsychosis: die

Talwin: (doe a deer)

Lemon: No, I think if I die, it will have nothing to do with how many spells I have left

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOLOLOL

Master TMO: no dying, my apprentice

MadamePsychosis: Lol - so let's just go same day

GM: lol

GM: ok

Talwin: cool beans brb putting wood on fire. I'm a bit snowed in at the moment LOL

Lemon: Ok question, can we just jump in, grab hold of all the cats, jump back out, and then like stun them all or something?

Lemon: I'm going to grab a coffee before I get too involved

Master TMO: I did not pack any flashbangs

GM: You tell me, how would you grab them? how would you stun them? what will you do with the looming figure that was on the edge of the vision?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I did not see the locket on Rimal in the crystal ball so we might want to keep the figure alive until we figure that out

Lemon: We would get out so quick the looming figure wouldn't have time to do anything

mharmon1 (Talwin): (somethign something herding cats)

Branwyn: You know if we deliver the cat without the locket, the princess and Marid will want us to go back and get it

Branwyn: I did not see the locket on Rimal in the crystal ball so we might want to keep the figure alive until we figure that out

Talwin: (cracks knuckles)

Talwin: So keep alive but everything else goes?

Branwyn: The room was dark except a little light from a window so we may want to bring out our lights quickly. Agree? Or want to stay in darkness?

Talwin: (Shakes Head) Light please

Talwin: I cannot defend us properly in the dark

Craigh: I vote light too

Branwyn: We have to make sure we get the right cat. I saw about three tumbling around the room.

Craigh: Can we put them to sleep?

Talwin: (Raises eyebrows) Can we not just simply grab all three?

Lanek: i'm not opposed to excess cats

Branwyn: They are 4 to 5 feet large

Talwin: (Eyebrows skyrocket off his head)

Talwin: Who has paralaze or command?

Branwyn: One is going to be hard enough to "grab" without getting something ripped off our bodies much less three

springdew (Lanek): i must log off for a second, brb

Talwin: Priests raise your hands

'springdew' disconnected

Branwyn: Hold is a nice spell as well

Talwin: Are these particularly magical if we level our spells against them Branwny?

Talwin: Think they could (ahem) bat away the spells?

Branwyn: I do not believe so. I just hope as you said before that they are deaf

Craigh: Hold Person wouldn't work against cats. Do we have a Hold Animal spell?

Branwyn: are not deaf

Talwin: (Nods) They have to hear the command no doubt

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I don't know priesty stuff

-> Branwyn: Testing a new type of whisper, I moved you to the map can you try to see it again?

Talwin: (Command is a good one. However, I dont recal how long it lasts)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Speaking of which, where is Carissa?

GM: She is on her way, is delayed by dinner

'springdew' connected

GM: Lemon release Bixi please

GM: want to test something

Talwin: (It's a simple one-word command that the target must follow, it' cannot be complicatet

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'll look it up real qick

Image: Duergar Stronghold

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Bixi has calm animals which work on multiple animals and she also has hold animal which works on up to 3?

Talwin: (ooh, it is only one round. It isperfect, but one round isn't enough time)\

Lemon: Why do I keep getting a box full of errors?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): charm, friendship and control only work on 1 animal at a time

mharmon1 (Talwin): Same withcommand it looks like

mharmon1 (Talwin): Shoot

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well, that sucks unless you guys want to metamorph them temporarily into rocks or someting

'springdew' disconnected

GM: Errors are because of a bug in the latest update Lemon

'springdew' connected

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I think what Bixi has works just fine

mharmon1 (Talwin): No worries then :) Just trying to think through options

GM: Hmmm Lisa what do you think? Cats turned into Rocks?

Lemon: When I get Bixi back I will um... try to remember that since my spell slots don't work

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talwin will do his best to stay between the claws and flesh :D

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): No!

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Bixi has either calm or hold animals

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): why on earth would she turn the cats into rocks?

GM: that is what Michael said

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean, they are easier to care for in rock form.....

GM: Lorie can you see the map? I put your character there now too

mharmon1 (Talwin): :D

GM: and LOL Michael

LorieD (Licornah ): Yes

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): what map?

Master TMO: ch-ch-ch-chia pet!

GM: Good, so it was a BOB error and not an update error

GM: grins at Lisa, worry about GETTING there first

GM: When you are ready to CLICK I am

GM: just want you to have your plan on how you will deal with things

Master TMO: by the seat of our pants, as usual

Talwin: (I mean, not sure what else to plan for. Its chaos)

Lemon: Yes, I need as much instruction as possible before the click if we are depending on my spells lol

GM: All of the above is true

Lanek: i have returned

springdew (Lanek): i promised i had ALT down

GM: knowing your spells Lemon, and what they do, what you want to accomplish is primary, then making them work here as a game mechanic is next

mharmon1 (Talwin): (You are totally fine Spring lol)

springdew (Lanek): i am now operating from the VM

GM: nice!

GM: Spring and TMO are going to compete for who can be geekier, with Michael following close behind

GM: not that Lorie cannot be Geeky but I think that TMO and Spring beat her and Michael too. Until Sean comes back and blows everyone away

Lanek: LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

GM: back to Lemon

springdew (Lanek): hehehe

GM: Branwyn tasked Bixi with finding a way to calm/charm/freeze the cats

GM: any ideas?

Lemon: So... if there's four cats... I can hold three? So maybe calm first and then hold the three that are not Rimal?

Lemon: Do I have enough spell slots for that?

Lemon: After that, if we're not dying or whatever, I know I have animal friendship and talk to animals, I could use one of those to get rimal to come with us

Lemon: As for the shadowy figure, I have no ideas

GM: I am listening, I do not want to say yes or no yet

GM: I do know I want to dig into the program and replace this icon with the Dragonslayer shield rather than this icon

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): you don't want to be an old bald guy in a robe

Lemon: I like it

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): LOL

Master TMO: Nonsense. You look perfectly like a GM

GM: LOL

GM: I actually have an icon that I had made years ago just for this type of thing, that or the shield would be better for me

GM: Carissa is about ten minutes out

GM: for you to have as much as possible ready for when she is in and then JUMP

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): you think we can be ready - are you turning on the combat tracker when we get there?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): depends on who goes first what happens

Craigh: Quick! Everybody cantrip up as much catnip as you can!

GM: Combat Tracker is on and good to go (I think crosses fingers, hopes he actually knows what and how to deal with this) it will be a great thing!

Craigh: Then we throw it around the room as soon as we get there!

Lemon: lol

Lemon: That seems like it will make the situation worse

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Branwyn said try not to kill the figure until we get the locket and we know we have to calm and sort the kitties - so that is as good we're gonna get I think

GM: brb restroom, empty and refill

LorieD (Licornah ): (HEY! You can't take my geek card... I earned it)

springdew (Lanek): i sure get a lot of errors

LorieD (Licornah ): (It's this update...not just you)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I'm viewing them like Klooge errors and ignoring them

springdew (Lanek): that's fair

GM: Ok what do you see from that link?

Carissa: Are both links the same? Opens a window in game

GM: Ok

GM: and at the bottom is the continue button?

Talwin: Thanks Bob!

Lemon: this year was a good year etc

Lemon: no continue button

Talwin: none

2021 Year End XP Awards part 1

2021 Year End XP awards part 2

springdew (Lanek): LOL!!!

GM: This year was a good year of progress with characters and players. We spent time rounding out Dragon Fen as a place that can be both safe and still have adventures. We passed 1,350 sessions overall and 900 online sessions. We wrapped up the longest Era we have ever done (we started way back on April 27th of 2018..... ) and we started a new one with more strange things than anyone had guessed. That includes the current Complicated Emotions story arc. This has been a very emotional time for all of us. To celebrate our transition check the Discord for a picture of what will arrive for you in the coming weeks.

GM: One of the things that I will work on over our break is updating the XP on all the sheets for this current story arc. I will add to that our traditional End of Year awards. This year we had 54 chances to play and we will have played 50 sessions for a total of 1,372 sessions over the years. This year Lorie came back to us, played 2 games for a grand total of 481 sessions overall which is 35% of all of our sessions through the years. Then Ryan was here for 12 sessions, bringing his total to 74 overall. Next is Lara who was here for 14 sessions, bringing her total to 18 overall. Then Lemon was our newest Dragonslayer. She has been here for 11 official sessions this year and 2,500 XP. Michael was here for 31 sessions with a total of 246 overall and 5,000 XP. Spring was here for 33 sessions and a total of 296 overall sessions with 5,000 XP. We have enjoyed everyone this year and I am very grateful to have so many fun talented players. Thank you

GM: Then we have the three players who over the past few years have been here through all of the crazy encounters, developing story lines, helping on the site, and helping everyone enjoy our game. TMO was here 43 times this year for 427 overall sessions. 31% of all the game sessions we have done in over 28 years. 7,500 XP for this year. Carissa was here 49 times this year for 259 overall sessions, 19% of all of our sessions. 7,500 XP for this year. And then Lisa. Who this year was here 100% of the sessions, 50 times bringing her total over the years to 576 overall and 42% of all the sessions played. 10,000 XP for this year. Also I am giving some additional awards this year. For all of Lisa's work on editing the chat files, hundreds of hours of work, an additional 5,000 XP. And for everyone who was here at our Change. There is a new Delta icon on the Roll Call page next to your name, Michael or someone will explain why that Greek Letter, and an additional 5,000 XP for those players as well. I am looking forward to a very fun 2022, our 29th year overall.

Lemon: awards part 1 had a continue button

LorieD (Licornah ): :: applause to one and all ::

springdew (Lanek): the chat won't let me scroll up to read this

GM: I am sorry Spring

GM: what did you miss?

Talwin: (Racking up that XP lisa!!!!! :) )

Talwin: (Way to go!)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Thank you Bob! And congrats to everyone!

springdew (Lanek): it kept jumping but i think everything before Greek letter

GM: Michael you understand the Delta?

GM: perhaps Carissa and Spring maybe?

Lanek: i didn't actually read it because i was trying to screll

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): So you are saying FG is our Delta variant?

GM: LOL YES to Lisa

Talwin: Uh

GM: THAT is awesome

Lemon: lolll

mharmon1 (Talwin): I actually hadn't thought that was it...

Lanek -> Master TMO: lolll

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Delta means change doesn't it?

GM: Yes it does

Talwin: (In calculus yes it does)

mharmon1 (Talwin): But I like the Delta Variant reasonmore....

Lemon: Probably as ready as I'll ever be

springdew (Lanek): wooo hhooooo!!!

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Nice!

springdew (Lanek): i reme3ember when i was like 20% every year

GM: Is why I wanted to note it, Lisa, Carissa and TMO are here over 86% of the time but You, Michael and Lemon are here a large ammount heck Lemon made 18%

GM: Everyone is important

Bixi Fizzlebang: woo!

Talwin: WOOOOOOO!

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Most definitely!

Talwin: I SOMETIMES PATICIPATE! :)

GM: LOL

GM: everyone is working as a team that is what I talk about when I brag about this game

GM: but now your team is down by 7 and at the 20 yard line

GM: what will you do?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): look up that reference to see what it means

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh god. Bottom of the ninth, and all the bases are loaded

Carissa: (I am still semi-distracted)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh, wrong sport

LorieD (Licornah ): (I'd avoid the team... they probably have COVID. Most teams do right now. Can I be a free agent?)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lean in and get hit by a pitch?

GM: LOL to all of that

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Should we...just...go?)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): yes

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): we're good

GM: (LINK)

LorieD (Licornah ): (how holiday appropriate)

User has gone AFK. (Master TMO)

mharmon1 (Talwin): What a lovely holiday omen

mharmon1 (Talwin): To both

springdew (Lanek): BRB

mharmon1 (Talwin): AH

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): are we there yet>

GM: so Lisa will click you to the new map (crosses fingers) and Lemon you will cast?

Talwin: (So should I just assume we are staring at three large cats with the roar of pandomium around me?)

GM: I am hopeful that this will work Michael

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): i guess so

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): we are inside a room

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Sorry, bob. You finished typing before me :) )

Image: Duergar Stronghold

GM: New map

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): do we roll initiative?

GM: after CLICKing

GM: not yet

Talwin: I see the stronghold

Carissa: (am I doing anything? just showing up?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ready for INI

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): do whatever you think best

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): planning is overrated

Talwin: (Back us up with restraining the cats!)

Talwin: (They are fie feet large btw)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wait, I don't see a calm spell?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): it's a 1st lvl priest spell on your sheet in klooge

User is back. (Master TMO)

GM: we are taking our time

GM: no worries,

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't think it's here yet? I haven't had a chance to check over everything. Just got more ram so my computer in theory can handle both programs now, but it's been a busy couple of weeks

GM: you are gating into this place

springdew (Lanek): back

GM: then we will do spells, then combat, etc.

GM: and then be home and safe by Midnight

N'laea: it should be, it's on mine

Bixi Fizzlebang: Cause Light Wounds

Bixi Fizzlebang: oops

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): All I did was click that

GM: is ok

GM: but you want to do Calm when you arrive

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I do not have that on here

Raelynn: oh wait, Nlaea has it in her sheet, Rae does not so maybe priests got looked over

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But I'm wondering if I should try Entrhrall? I was trying to link the description but can't remember how

GM: There might be missed spells on the sheets,

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That might potentially also work on the shadowy figure, although probably not?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Enthrall - Range: 0, AoE: 90-ft. radius, Duration: Special, Cast Time: 1 rd., Save: Neg.

Spell: Enthrall

Bixi Fizzlebang: Or do the cats have to speak common?

GM: so we have an idea of what you intend to do

GM: you can guess not

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): enthrall works on things that can understand your language and you have to keep talking - I love the idea of that spell

GM: at least you speak W Comm and Rimal is from a different part of the world, maybe C Comm or A Comm

Bixi Fizzlebang: I can guess they don't speak common, or I can guess that they don't have to be able to speak common to be enthralled?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): they have to be able to understand you

Bixi Fizzlebang: ah, so I can guess it will not work

GM: You just have to cast in a language that the cats will listen to you in..........

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): cast what you want to cast - it will be okay no matter what happens

GM: I agree with Lisa, you need to explore and try things

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): except lightning bolts or fireballs in enclosed spaces

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ah, hold is 1-4 animals so that seems promising. Ok, yes, I guess I will try calm then hold animal, although I don't have calm on my sheet here so I'm not sure how to cast it?

Carissa: you have Nlaea and Rae who can help you, too, with animal stuff

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): {2d4+$L} hit dice worth of animals are calmed for {10+$L} rounds.

Spell: Hold Animal

GM: I wonder what Calm is as a spell, I see Calm Chaos, Calm Winds,and Cndle of Calm as spells here in FGU

GM: where was that Lisa?

GM: Hold Animal?

Talwin: (Do you want me to look up bob?)

Indigo: (Enchantment/Charm) Sphere: Animal Level: 1 Range: 60 yds. Components: V,S Duration: 1 turn + 1 rd./level Casting Time: 4 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: Special This spell soothes and quiets normal animals, which renders them docile and harmless. Only creatures with Intelligence ratings of 1 to 4 (in other words, animal or semi intelligent creatures) can be affected by this spell. The caster can calm 2d4 Hit Dice of animals, plus 1 Hit Die per level, so a 4th level priest could affect 2d4+4 Hit Dice of creatures. The caster can affect any animals he wishes to within the spell’s range, but all the subjects must be of the same species. The subject creatures are not allowed a saving throw unless they have magical powers, abilities, or are clearly not entirely natural; a priest could calm a normal bear, war dog, or wolf with little trouble, but it’s more difficult to affect a winter wolf, hell hound, or owlbear. While under the influence of this spell, the affected creatures remain where they are and do not attack or flee, unless they are attacked or confronted by a significant hazard such as a fire or a hungry predator. Once roused, the spell’s magic is broken and the animals are free to act in whatever fashion they normally would. Note that creatures affected by this spell are not helpless and defend themselves normally if attacked.

Hold Animal

GM: Got it

Carissa: I see calm on Nlaea, but no way to cast so guess it was not on FU just added by hand?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, if that works, I might not even have to try hold animasl

GM: added Hold Animal to Bixi's sheet

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hold animal I had

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Calm I did not

GM: ok

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Strong with the force, you are)

GM: might be something that is not in FGU yet

GM: but yes you have it

Talwin: Also don't see "Calm" in even AD&D2.0

Talwin: (It's "Calm Animals")

Talwin: (Closest I could find)

Talwin: *Sorry)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I'm getting this out of klooge as it's the only way to see other people's sheets or mine original ones :)

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, well I will do calm first and see what happens

User is back. (springdew)

Image: Duergar Stronghold

GM: New map with everyone on it

GM: What do you see?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): tower room with cats and PCs

Lanek: error messages

Master TMO: There is a Calm in the Access database, but spell text doesn't seem to have copied over to my local db

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): dark room with everyone standing around the edge, 4 cats in the middle

GM: Ok

springdew (Lanek): but also a black place with some icons in it

GM: thank you

GM: We are all learning together

GM: that is what you see as you CLICK into the room

GM: there is the shadowy figure to the "north"

springdew (Lanek): the map ios off the edge of my windown so i can't see everything, trying to move it

GM: and the four cats tumbling in the center of the room

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'll uh, take your word on Sauran in the North

GM: Is everyone mostly caught up to this?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I am

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): try expanding the map window itself Spring

Master TMO: I think so

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): yes

springdew (Lanek): i did that, it just gave me more blackness to the left

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I can only tug at the right and bottom sides to make it bigger but it centered the room for me

LorieD (Licornah ): (if you make the map full scale, click where you want to cernter and minimize, it should work)

GM: I have a Zoom to Fit icon on my tool bar but not sure you do

Talwin: I do

Talwin: It's the diagonal Arrow

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): zoom to fit makes it tiny for me

Talwin: (Hm.Made mine much bigger)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): um, accidentally closed the map

springdew (Lanek): oh here we go. scrolly wheel is making the map bigger

mharmon1 (Talwin): (AH! Is your Fantasy Grounds window fullscreen on whatever screen you are using?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh, never mind :)

GM: This is good to see in the discord too thank you Spring and Lisa, every Player/Character shoudl see things a bit differently when we are using the full map functions, I am not doing that yet

springdew (Lanek): my FG is fullscreen

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): how do I get the map back?

GM: There will be times in the future that certain icons see things on a map and others do not

Image: Duergar Stronghold

GM: map there for you Lemon, but I think you just need to click on your character to bring up the map?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ty

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): click on the cat again to de-select it - should let you see the room and not just black

GM: for now what you need to know is four large cats are tumbling in the center of the room, there is a figure to the north, and you have just BLIPPED into the room

mharmon1 (Talwin): So, roll fo rinitiative?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): when I click on a cat the background goes black

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): click on character did not bring up map but the link did, but mine is also a black background now

springdew (Lanek): my charcter is not there

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): that is true - we need Lanek

GM: also everyone is on the Combat Tracker to be able to roll and do things

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Also I dont' know how to get rid of that arrow I accidentally put on there

Master TMO: hmm, space for all these windows is going to be a challenge

Carissa: everything I click something I get an error

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I have a pink 10 arrow that I am ignoring

springdew (Lanek): same

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): it's not bothering me

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yeah I did that

Lanek: [CHECK] [DEX+2] (vs. Target 3) [NOT-SURPRISED by 5] [d6+2 = 8]

LorieD (Licornah ): (the error is a function of the new update, not you doing something right / wrong)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But I dont' know how to remove it again

GM: Lanek on the map now and the arrow removed

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): ok we good?

Lanek: [ATTACKING WHILE OUT OF AMMO]

Lanek: [ATTACK (R)] Hand Axe [THACO(18)] [AC: 14 ] [d20-1 = 4]

GM: I think so

springdew (Lanek): tryingt to foll INIT

springdew (Lanek): the plain init will not roll

Bixi Fizzlebang: [INIT] [d10 = 5]

springdew (Lanek): so i was trying to do the weapon one

Talwin: [INIT] [d10 = 2]

mharmon1 (Talwin): huh

GM: I see that Bixi rolled Init and Talwin rolled Init and I get an error message for both

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ok, so it didn't roll the first time I did it because I just dropped it on the chat box, I didn't like, "roll" it with my mouse.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Talwin init is wrong

Craigh: Craigh tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

Lanek: [INIT] [d10 = 9]

Craigh: Craigh tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

N'laea: N'laea tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

springdew (Lanek): FINALLY

mharmon1 (Talwin): oh god the errors

N'laea: N'laea tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

LorieD (Licornah ): (these errors are annoying... hope there is another update of the update of the update to fix)

N'laea: N'laea forced re-roll of initiative.

N'laea: [INIT] [d10 = 5]

Branwyn: Branwyn tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

Carissa: her init is wrong again I think

Talwin: [INIT] [d10 = 9]

Raelynn: Raelynn forced re-roll of initiative.

Raelynn: [INIT] [d10 = 6]

Branwyn: Branwyn forced re-roll of initiative.

Branwyn: [INIT] [d10 = 8]

Carissa: okay yeah Nlaea's init is wrong, shouldn't be the same

GM: Yes to Lorie, there are updates most Tuesdays, I am guessing at least two more before we play again on January 14th

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): yes they reset to wrong

Talwin: .........

Craigh: Craigh forced re-roll of initiative.

Craigh: [INIT] [d10 = 1]

Talwin: [INIT] [d10 = 7]

LorieD (Licornah ): (there was an update after you told us and another one today... so I think one more should fix it :) )

mharmon1 (Talwin): eff it. Just tell me what to do

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): that's weird because Branwyn says she has an INIT modifier of 8 so it should be right ...

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

GM: and we can just talk it out

GM: and I do hope so Lorie

Indigo: Indigo tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

GM: I am showing that everyone is in the room after CLICKING to Pandemonium and the room where the cats are

Indigo: Indigo forced re-roll of initiative.

GM: on the combat tracker

Indigo: [INIT] [d10 = 7]

GM: I have Licornah up first

GM: so Lorie go

GM: you see this group of strangers APPEAR in this safe room with you

Licornah : :: motions for cats to get behind her and takes a defensive stance whilst holding up her unicorn symbol ::

GM: making noise (you guess but cannot hear) and they are on the opposte side of the room from you across from the cats

Licornah : :: takes note that they are not the dwarves she was avoiding ::

GM: Then Craig is up

GM: TMO?

LorieD (Licornah ): (he's afk I believe)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): afk on the top

Craigh: (I'm here)

GM: Ok so then the next icon which is a dwarf

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Craigh is up

Craigh: Craigh cast a spell NOT memorized.

Craigh: [CAST] Disawareness

Craigh: (trying)

Craigh: Disawareness

Effect ['Disawareness'] -> [to Craigh]

Craigh: [CAST] Disawareness

GM: So you see that dwarf appear behing Howard and Craigh?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes

GM: coming up the stairs behind you that you were not aware of

Craigh: goes nondescript.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): yes - conjoined twins?

Dwarf, Duergar 4: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(19)] [AC: 6 ] [d20 = 13]

GM: Hmmm

GM: that showed as Bixi as the roller

GM: for the dwarf against howard

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It showed as "dwarf, duergar 4:" to me

springdew (Lanek): it shows the dwarf as the roller for me

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): with no target

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes, no target

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): but yes Howard would love to get hit with an axe :)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Talwin is not on this map

Dwarf, Duergar 4: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(19)] [d20 = 0]

Attack [0] ->[ATTACK (M)] [at Howard Plum] [Hit-AC: 19 vs. 10 ] [AC: 19 ] [MISS]

Branwyn: can't he get hit with an axe? :)

Talwin: (is that why my inin is all effed up?)

GM: Ok so moving Talwin now

Carissa: lol you want him hit that much?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I don't even see Talwin on combat tracker

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): that's his job isn't it?

Carissa: lol

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): you could hit Indigo with an axe then

Talwin: (I mean, yes it is, but at the same time, imagine me giving a sideeye at that comment lol)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol yes, I need Talwin, I use him as a shield sometimes

GM: so Talwin is on the combat tracker and the map

GM: He is by Howard

Talwin: Now let me try INI

Talwin: [INIT] [d10 = 8]

Talwin: Is that better?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): yes

Talwin: perfect

GM: yes to Michaal

GM: Dwarf went and missed Howard

GM: now it is N'laea

Carissa: did that go through? trying to hold

GM: Bixi is up after

GM: hold what Carissa?

Carissa: her turn

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, so the cats are just hanging out now? I don't have to worry about calming them down?

GM: no she is showing still in that same place

GM: But is is showing Bixi is up

GM: we will remember that N'laea has not gone

GM: Cats are still tumbling, there are three of them now, one retreated back to the shadowing figure to the north

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Does it look like playing tumbling or like fighting tumbling? Do I know?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): is it windy?

GM: How could you tell the difference that quickly?

GM: for Lisa you are inside so the wind is a dull roar outside maybe? but your ears are plugged

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know, that's why I'm asking you lol

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): whenever you say tumbling I think they are in a clothes dryer

GM: smiles

Lanek: i assumed the wind was doing a blender action on them

springdew (Lanek): i assumed the wind was doing a blender action on them

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I guess I'll just stick with my plan and try calm

GM: ok to Bixi

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I wouldn't really have time to figure out a new plan

GM: so Calm on the three cats in the middle?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Every time BOB asks a question, I feel like it's a trap

GM: I am always checking

LorieD (Licornah ): (GOOD, you are learning :: laughs :: )

Talwin: Generator prob has about half/hour left

mharmon1 (Talwin): FYI

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): sorry this is going slow Michael

Bixi Fizzlebang: [ATTACKING WHILE OUT OF AMMO]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [ATTACK (R)] Dagger [THACO(20)] [d20-3 = 10]

Attack [10] ->[ATTACK (R)] [at Sand Cat] [Hit-AC: 10 vs. 8 ] [AC: 10 ] [MISS]

GM: that was a test

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I didn't do that

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Why are you sorry? We're all getting used ot it :) )

Indigo: I don't want you to log out when it's finally your turn :(

GM: So I will say that Bixi casts and it affects two of the three cats, but not the desert cat, that looks like it might be Rimal

GM: Indigo then Talwin

GM: OOPs after Raelynn who is up now

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): did Indigo see he swarf thing

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Cool. So I either just saved Rimal, or pissed him off because his playmates are no longer playing.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): the dwarf

GM: yes to Lisa for Indigo

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): can he get there or is it too cramped?

GM: Indigo can push Branwyn and Howard out of the way to get to the entrance and protect it

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): ehhh

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Pushing is rude.

Indigo: pulls earplugs out and goes to figure

Indigo: We want our cat back! Don't mnake us have to kill you for it!

GM: Indigo can save verus breath weapon

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I click the turn complete button and nothing happens

Lanek thinks to himself that indigo looks like he's making a threat

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): how do you roll a save?

Indigo: [SAVE] vs. Spell [CON +3] [d20+3 = 14]

Save [14] [Target 10] -> [for Indigo] [SUCCESS]

GM: there you go

GM: and now Talwin is up

springdew (Lanek): i think you drag them from the character sheet

mharmon1 (Talwin): So...how best to help here guys?

mharmon1 (Talwin): which action would you prefer?

mharmon1 (Talwin): RestrainCats, attack, defend?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): what would Talwin do?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You can do it!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Try nd help attack, but I'm having trouble deciphering if people are in my way

springdew (Lanek): i'm doubting lanek saw any dwarves

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not used o these icons. I'm sorry

mharmon1 (Talwin): Is the farthest south the icon we want ded?

GM: Talwin can see the dwarf that attacked Howard

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Pretty sure BOB said you can shove people out of the way

mharmon1 (Talwin): Right. Will do. One second

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Howard is easily shovable

GM: chuckles

User has gone AFK. (seyfert)

Talwin: murmers "Sorry howard. I'll make it up to you!"

Talwin: Muscles his way through with a roar

Talwin: (Trying to target)

mharmon1 (Talwin): gaddmit

mharmon1 (Talwin): how the hell do I target again? I got the rolls, but not the target?

GM: Fully agree Michael

springdew (Lanek): it has something to do with the crossed dwords icon

Talwin: [ATTACK (M)] Two-handed Sword [THACO(13)] [AC: -3 ] [d20+2 = 16]

Talwin: wut

GM: I grab the weapon on the sheet and drag it to the icon I want to attack

springdew (Lanek): but not sure whether you click yourself first or not

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): the little target icon also

Talwin: [ATTACK (M)] Broadsword [THACO(13)] [d20 = 17]

Attack [17] ->[ATTACK (M)] [at Dwarf, Duergar 2] [Hit-AC: -4 vs. 4 ] [AC: -4 ] [HIT]

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It looks greyed out but you can still use it

Talwin: SIGH. One seond

Talwin: Jesus

Broadsword

Talwin: [DAMAGE (M)] Broadsword [TYPE: slashing (2d4+3=7)] [2d4+3 = 7]

'mharmon1' disconnected

Bixi Fizzlebang: So I clicked

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): target mode, then myself, then I messed something up, then I clicked target mode again, then Rimal

GM: I show you did 7 points of damage to the Duergar #4 and it is at zero hit points ow

GM: Branwyn is up

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): so Rimal is still wild in the room?

GM: yes

'mharmon1' connected

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I'm sorry I don't know how to target and cast

GM: from the character sheet, click on the spell and drag to the target is what I think works

Master TMO: I think you can drag the spell die onto your target

Master TMO: also, the grayed out target icon to selecte targets

Branwyn: Branwyn cast a spell NOT memorized.

Branwyn: [CAST] Sleep

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I can't figure it out and yes I did have it memorized

Sand Cat: [SAVE] vs. Spell [d20 = 3]

Save [3] [Target 17] -> [for Sand Cat] [FAILURE]

mharmon1 (Talwin): Back, but not for sure how long. Sorry :) Fam is trying to rewire jeep to inverter. We'll see

GM: failed its save versus spell for Sleep

Branwyn: affects 2d4 hd

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): not a save

Branwyn: [2d4 = 7]

GM: Yes

GM: so Rimal is asleep

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): good thanks

Talwin: (Yay! Snatch her and let's scram! Deville is waiting for us!)

springdew (Lanek): ok how do i try to get hold of the sleeping cat?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): we need the locket too I think if we can

mharmon1 (Talwin): (I can help you carry if it's too big Spring)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So are we done with combat now?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Is Rimal the cute cat or the black and white cat pic

springdew (Lanek): I was hoping to see some kind of lable on them

GM: the large black and white sitting up cat

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I definitely thought Rimal was the cute cat

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): of course it looks like Satan's cat

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I should have known better

springdew (Lanek): trying to roll an attack, not aving much luck

Master TMO: maybe it is satan's cat

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But he said desert cat and I was like, "oh those are desert colors"

GM: You see the figure move forward to protect the sleeping Rimal

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Lanek's turn?

GM: observation checks

GM: and yes Lanek

springdew (Lanek): well i am trying my damndest]\

GM: What does he want to do?

Talwin: (Trying OBS)

springdew (Lanek): as before stated, grab the cat

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 11]

GM: Which cat Spring?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Am I targeting Rimal now?

GM: Only Rimal (the Sand Cat) should be listed on the combat tracker and so eligible to target and do things against

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I do not see Rimal on combat tracker

Master TMO: nr do I

GM: should be Sand Cat after an NPC that is after Lanek

Branwyn: look we are having trouble targeting and you are cutting this off by the end of tonight can we just say target and keep going please?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): this is frustrating

GM: I keep asking what people want to do

Lanek: and i keep saying and being overlooked

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Spring said she wanted Lanek to try to grab Rimal

GM: you keep saying target

GM: yes I said yes to that

Lanek: even before target

Lanek: but then you asked me again

GM: I said you can try

GM: NO I asked which cat

Lanek: ok, i will leave that for the logs

GM: then you said Rimal and I said ok

Lanek: i am talking about well before that

GM: right now trying to move forward

Lanek: well before the dhadowy figure moved

GM: you are trying to grap Rimal

GM: Lanek reaches forward to do that

User is back. (seyfert)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): (For the record, there is 100% no cat on my combat tracker. Obvs not the most important issue at the moment, but just want to make a note for the future)

GM: and the figure that was holding action moved forward to also grab the cat

GM: Thank you Lemon

GM: we need to know that

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): how was she holding action when they waved a unicorn sign and waved the cats behind her?

GM: Now do you see it?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): oh never mind

Lanek: turn complete button not working

GM: I am concentrating here on teh chat and trying to move things along

GM: Lanek was reaching for the cat

GM: and then what?

springdew (Lanek): i dunno, he did his action. if he gets another action, he'll jab his elbow into the shadowy figure

GM: I see lots of Discord notifications but I am ignoring them to concentrate on this

GM: Ok so Lanek moves foward to grab Rimal and tries to elbow the other figure out of the way

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): so Howard

GM: Howard is up

Howard Plum: searches the dead dwarf for the locket

GM: A quick search does not turn up any locket but he does find some misc things

Howard Plum: takes anything he can find in the meantime

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): end turn

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Indigo had tried to talk to/threaten the person. Nothing happened with that?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): apparently they ignored him - happens to him sometimes

GM: 3 gems and 8 GP

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): yes not sure how it translates but yes

'mharmon1' disconnected

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Goodnight and Merry Christmas!!

LorieD (Licornah ): (Happy Holidays!!!)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): got it now that you said it - thx

GM: and Howard is up

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I said end turn - he looted a dead dwarf for his turn

springdew (Lanek): gnite Michael!!!

GM: Ok

GM: just making sure we are on the same page

Carissa: (night!)

GM: So now Licornah is up, RImal is at her feet asleep, there is a human that is trying to shove her away from Rimal

GM: Indigo is on the other side

GM: Raelynn is next to Indigo with two cats near her, both awake

[ROUND 3]

GM: Lorie you are up

Licornah : :: puts out her lance to defend, but does not attack. Continues to protect Rimal, Nightshade, Chocolate, and Brynce :: /end turn

GM: Craigh is up next

LorieD (Licornah ): (he said AFK)

LorieD (Licornah ): (scrolling up)

GM: ok so then Carissa

GM: N'laea then Bixi then Rae

Carissa: (Nlaea can hold because I've missed half of what is going on)

GM: Lemon?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, well Indigo pulled out his earplugs, yes? I'm going to shout to him, "Are you insane, or is it safe to take out the earplugs!?"

GM: good

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

GM: Rae is up

Carissa: will also hold and watch what's going on

GM: then Indgo and then Branwyn

GM: Indigo can see that this figure/person is protecting the cats

GM: Also Lemon can you please whisper to me and then to Lisa that same message? thanks

GM: want to test

GM: Whispers

Indigo: to Bixi "It's fine!"

Indigo: I look fine right?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): um how to whisper to the gm?

Licornah : (/w GM and then your message)

User is back. (Master TMO)

LorieD (Licornah ): (whooops should have been OOC)

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Indigo: It's hard to tell in the dark

Licornah -> Lemon: testing

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Licornah : test successful?

GM: Testing Whispers

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's hard to tell in the dark

Licornah -> Lemon: A+

GM: so that when I look at the chat we will see if I can see all of them

Bixi Fizzlebang: test successful?

Craigh: moves forward to back Lanek up. If it turns into a fight he'll suddenly jump in and cause a distraction for the shadowy figure. Not an attack, because no one would notice getting hit by Craigh

Indigo -> Bixi Fizzlebang: You can see in the dark!

GM: ok to TMO

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Indigo: Oh! Hahaha. I guess I got so nervous I forgot?

Master TMO (Craigh): a pair of red arrows is bracketing Craigh in the Combat Tracker. anybody else seeing those?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): so Indigo tells Bixi he is fine without his earplugs with no idea if she heard him

Licornah -> Master TMO: No, I don't see any targeting...

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): end Indigo turn

GM: Bixi has earplugs in so no she did not hear

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Did he like, nod or anything? hint hint

GM: and Branwyn is up

springdew (Lanek): i am seeing the red arrows for Lanek. i think it just means that's who you are

Indigo: steps forward

Branwyn: steps forward

springdew (Lanek): the little arrow to the left that says whose turn it is has vanished for me

Branwyn: The sleeping cat is ours. We are taking it but we want its locket. We don't want to hurt you or the other cats but we will take ours

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): end turn

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): me too spring

LorieD (Licornah ): (I can't see any arrows -- haven't all evening)

GM: Licornah sees that the woman mage? is speaking but cannot hear her

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I see arrows, but they've been on me the entire time.

GM: and then Lanek is up now

Lanek: the turn arrow was brassy looiking like the Turn Complete arrow, but ws rotated 90 derees

Master TMO: buncha folks just showed up on the combat tracker

springdew (Lanek): so what happened as the shadowy figure defended with a lance?

LorieD (Licornah ): (I just see icons... no arrows. I did see a pink target for a few minutes but BOB removed)

GM: I just made all NPCs visible if they are on the map or not TMO

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): wait - can Branwyn take out her earplugs that round - I wanted to ...

GM: Yes to Lisa

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): thanks

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Indigo isn't rolling around screamin g on the floor so it must be ok

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): my threshhold for judging what ok is

springdew (Lanek): i can't know what lanek is doing until i know what the shadowy figure acturally did.Lorie said defend with lance, not attack

GM: and Lanek sees Indigo and Branwyn moving forward to confront the person there, Indigo and now Branwyn has taken out their earplugs

GM: The figure is standing there over the cats with a lance looking like she is defending the cats from you

GM: Rimal is asleep at her feet

Lanek: okay so it was a stance rather than making any kind of contact

GM: yes

springdew (Lanek): sigh, my alt was donw

springdew (Lanek): yeah i dunno what to do. hold i guess

GM: that drops down to Howard then

Howard Plum: calls out

Licornah : On my turn, I'll continue what I'm doing but use my Cure Deafness ability so I can try and communicate with them since they didn't attack me and defended against dwarves -- I'm not sure I can speak though.

Howard Plum: The locket wasn't on the dwarf!

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): end turn

GM: Ok so back up to Licornah

GM: Yes to Lorie using that ability but no to speaking

Licornah : :: appears to gesture while maintaining stance ::

GM: and now Craig

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): gesture at what?

LorieD (Licornah ): (end turn)

LorieD (Licornah ): (OOC I'm not gesturing at anything / one concentrating more or less)

GM: Observation roll by Branwyn, Rae, N'le

GM: and Howard

GM: sorry Craig also

N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 12]

Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]

Carissa: (rae does not have)

Branwyn: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 7]

Master TMO (Craigh): is it my turn

GM: N'laea, Craigh, and Branwyn all recognize that the person with the lance just cast a spell of some sort but there was not any obvious effect

GM: and yes to TMO Craigh is up

Craigh: will kneel down and gently pet the cat that's asleep on the floor. (I don't know how this is going to interact with his Disawareness effect that's still up. He's hoping the cat will continue to sleep, but that the person might be able to notice it as non-hostile. But, honestly, they may not even see him at all. Hard to say, really)

Master TMO (Craigh): Disawareness is a weird spell

GM: I am saying (for now at least) that this is like sancuarty and if the person viewing Craigh means no harm they can see him, and if they do they suddenly just misplace him

GM: so yes everyone sees Craigh move forward to pet the sleeping cat

GM: try clicking next TMO

GM: Carissa you are up

GM: did you hear the ding?

Carissa: (no because I've been chatting and don't have sound on)

GM: ok

GM: N'laea is up

GM: then Bixi then Rae

GM: and yes I do know that Lemon is sandwiched inbtween there

GM: Lemon sandwich cookies

Carissa: (hmm can Nlaea hold and actually be able to go this round?)

GM: yes

GM: try the hold on yoru sheet

Carissa: (okay Bixi can go)

Carissa: (I have but she still gets skipped over, but I didn't care enough to speak up)

GM: I tried fixing something it should work now

seyfert (Carissa): (clicked it three times, dunno if anything happened)

GM: right now no

GM: ok Bixi is up

Carissa: (just error codes)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, I'm going to take out my earplugs, then smile and wave at the figure and say, "I like your unicorn!"

GM: Ok can you say that last part IC please

GM: so we have that in chat

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can't remember which key does the emote thing or I would use that as well

Bixi Fizzlebang: I like your unicorn!

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): control enter

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh wait

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I also want to say

Bixi Fizzlebang: Are you a ghost?

springdew (Lanek): slash e does emote also

Master TMO: I've been using /action (instead of /me)

GM: and Rae is up

Lanek: does this

Lanek: slash action does this

Lanek slash e does this

Carissa: (hmm....

Carissa: (since it's a PC not doing usual... guess holding to see how they react to Bixi and the others so... more holding)

Master TMO this looks better

GM: Indigo is up

GM: then Branwyn

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): since we don't know it is a PC and she ain't talking ...

Indigo: Why don't you say something?

Carissa: (very true; so if nothing happens in reaction....)

Indigo: tries to hit her lance with his pick

GM: roll an attack Indigo

Indigo: tries to know it down and get her attention

MadamePsychosis: Pick, Military +2

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): how do I roll an attack?

Indigo: [ATTACK (M)] Pick, Military +2 [THACO(13)] [d20+1 = 6]

Attack [6] ->[ATTACK (M)] [at Licornah ] [Hit-AC: 7 vs. 5 ] [AC: 7 ] [MISS]

LorieD (Licornah ): (oooh... i see the arrow)

GM: From the combat tracker, I dragged the Pick over to the chat to roll that

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): did I do that?

GM: I did Lisa

GM: you can try now

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I don't see weapons in the combat tracker

GM: When you click on Indigo

GM: and the Actions tab

GM: I see a list of actions, for hi four weapons

GM: him

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): keep going

Indigo: [ATTACK (M)] Pick, Military +2 [THACO(13)] [d20+1 = 17]

Attack [17] ->[ATTACK (M)] [at Licornah ] [Hit-AC: -4 vs. 10 ] [AC: -4 ] [HIT]

GM: there you go

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): ok thx

GM: so Indigo reaches out and uses his Pick to KNOCK the end of the lance down into the ground away from himself and the rest of the group

GM: and then Branwyn is up

Master TMO (Craigh): (and it stabs Craigh in the neck)

Branwyn: I know you're casting. Indigo will hit you next time if you do not stop and talk to us

Branwyn: Or I will myself

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): end turn

GM: Lanek then Howard

Lanek: looks around at whateverybody else seems to be doing.

[ROUND 4]

Lanek: throws his hands in the air

Lanek: sits on the floor

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

Carissa: (Nlae and Rae would have tentatively removed ear plugs that round at the end on their hold - at least one plug/ear)

Carissa: (if I saw right and that's what we're doing)

GM: right now Lanek is looking around and then sits on the floor

GM: now Howard is up

GM: and then N'lae and Rae can take out their pluges

GM: plugs

Branwyn: steps forward and takes out his earplugs but does nothing

Branwyn: steps forward and takes out his earplugs but does nothing

Howard Plum: steps forward and takes out his earplugs but does nothing

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): I have trouble changing characters even in this platform

Carissa: (lol)

GM: for moving around the map have you tried the arrows in the lower right corner? I use them to scan around the map, and the wheel to zoom in and out

Carissa: (yes that's what I've been using)

GM: also tonight is a mess for interface things

Master TMO: I use the mouse wheel to zoom, and click it to grab and move the map

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

Carissa: (oh well that's smart; missed that)

'springdew' disconnected

GM: Howard is?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): done

GM: ok then Licornah

Howard Plum: steps forward and takes out his earplugs but does nothing

Carissa: (lol and still)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): it said Howard though

Carissa: (did see that, gets confusing with the icon)

GM: Lorie?

Licornah : "These cats :: motions to them:: are under my protection. I seek no quarry with you. But now you've raised the eyes of the dwarves that I've been avoiding" :: scowls and continues to hold lance ::

Licornah : (end turn)

GM: Craigh is up

Master TMO (Craigh): did he understand her?

GM: does he have ear plugs in?

Master TMO (Craigh): that is an excellent point

GM: grins

GM: so N'laea ?

GM: after Craigh

Craigh takes out his earplugs since it seems to be a thing people are doing.

Bixi Fizzlebang: thinks but does not say, "If they can't kill that little dwarf that died in one hit, how did they think they were going to fight all of us?"

'springdew' connected

N'laea: Then we'll take the one that is our, leave you, and the dwarves will ignore you again. Or do you plan to hide out here forever?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Craigh is one of the cool kids now

N'laea: (oops sorry Craigh)

Master TMO (Craigh): it's fine

GM: Craigh finishes, Nlae then Bixi

GM: Lemon?

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh is finished, btw

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): unless we are going to hurt her - which my characters could see themselves doing if this keeps dragging out or should we leave combat so we can all just talk?

GM: I am ok with just talking

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes please

GM: go for it

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): good

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Someone else can start, Bixi has nothing except for asking if the person is a ghost. Now she's making mental notes for the next ghost story

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): N'laea asked a question so we can go from there

LorieD (Licornah ): (question to me?)

N'laea: (yes)

seyfert (N'laea): (one day I'll get OOC right)

seyfert (N'laea): (alt key is weird on this keyboard)

seyfert (N'laea): (and yes my characters are on round away from just getting this over with one way or another)

Licornah : :: nods slowly :: hiding isn't exactly what I've been doing, but understand your perception. I had deafness cast in here to avoid the planar issues and avoid the dark ones. I've been sent here with the girls :: motions again to the cats :: to seek protection from those who would harm these cats. They are gorgeous creatures... :: muses silently about something or other and trails off ::

Licornah : (end turn)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Please tell me we just happen to have a cat sanctuary that we can let them come back to?

GM: chuckles

Master TMO (Craigh): we have a forest

GM: Or need to create one

GM: for a whole bunch of strays you just found

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We can give them the abandoned tower maybe?

GM: 4 (5?)

Branwyn: Look, the desert cat is ours. It ran away in the Astral Plane and jumped into Pandemonium. We need to take her home

Branwyn: It had a locket. Do you have that?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): let the cats and wolves play in the forest?

N'laea: BFF!

Master TMO (Craigh): to the victor goes the spoils

seyfert (N'laea): *BFFs!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): With the werewolves!?

Licornah : :: furrows brow :: Rimal belongs to... :: trails off again :: No, sorry, I know your claim to be false. I've been dispatched here by the Arch Silvermaiden herself.

Licornah : (IRL, I hate cats... if it were up to Lorie, I'd gladly hand them all over and go find a group of puppies to hang with instead, but oh no, BOB gave me cats :: laughs ::)

GM: grins

Licornah : (ugh sorry that had an alt and end turn)

N'laea: To bring them back where? Certainly not to keep them here.

Branwyn: I don't care who your Arch Silvermaiden thinks she is. I know she belongs to Princess Maya of Hiyal with Namsut her Marid. It has been a long time since she was lost but that does not negate the fact that we are going to return her to her rightful owners. If you don't have the locket then the cat itself will have to do

Branwyn: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 18]

Licornah : So... you admit your claim to be false. At least we agree on that.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): on the person

Branwyn: We were sent to get the cat and we WILL get the cat. That is not up for debate

Branwyn: It just depends on whether this goes nicely or not

Licornah : I don't want to be overly confrontational... but they are really not being welcoming or friendly. Do I have motivation or inspriration to trust them at all?

GM: Branwyn sees that this is an elf, similar to Shi or the other elves she has met, and is speaking W Comm so is from somewhere back home?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Maybe we could help you find somewhere safer for the others? And yourself, of course?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): what planet are we on? I always am at a loss for that. Are we from earth?

Branwyn: N'laea look at her. She is one of your own is she not?

GM: sorry I apparently cannot whisper right now

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm sure Rimal wants to go home, though. I could ask, if necessary

Licornah : :: turns to Bixi :: interesting proprosal. What of your safety? Tell me of your animal handling skills and experience. :: turns and looks at the cats awake ::

Master TMO: I suspect we don' have a name for our planet. You don't really need one if you have no knowledge of any other planets.

Licornah : I ask the cats using ability if they trust these intruders

N'laea: One of mine? In what sense?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): what is our plane called when we jump into a pool of it?

Branwyn: An elf?

N'laea: Oh. Yes but that does not mean anything.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well I personally don't know anything about it, that's why I said and yourself. No one is trying to take the other sfrom you, we're just trying to get Rimal home

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Don't you elves all know each other :D

seyfert (N'laea): lol

springdew (Lanek): hahahaha

GM: laughs

Licornah : Tell me why you seek Rimal and what led you to me?

N'laea: You question our animal handling skills yet we question your fighting skills. If more dwarves come, who are you to question us?

GM: and for the idea of Home it is just that for you, Home, you do not know of a name for it other than that

N'laea: We told you why we seek Rimal. Magic brought us here. Unless you'd like to wait for more dwarves, what is the point of continuing this conversation here?

-> Carissa: remember you can use the Elven language too

LorieD (Licornah ): (back space in chat when you're typing works wonky)

N'laea: (lol yes but we're talking in Common right now so she's not going to be rude and switch. Yet)

-> Licornah : you can also talk in Elvish if you wish

-> Branwyn: the cats look content and happy

Licornah : I get how you transported here .... but WHY did you transport here? Someone said ... go get my cat and you did?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok, I'm just going to see if I can talk to Rimal while the rest of you are arguing

GM: got whispers figureed out

Licornah : (Rimal is sleeping still right?)

Licornah : (ughhh on alt)

GM: Yes to Rimal sleeping

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): uggggh, I forgot

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nevermind, scratch that

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): pun not intended

LorieD (Licornah ): (He could have put things right... but he's napping LOL)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Why can't I ever just find an animal to talk to

GM: There are three other cats for Bixi to talk to if you wish

Raelynn: Because they LOVE their cat and you should do whatever you can for someone you love!!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, yes, Bob, you read my mind

Branwyn: Yes, we saved a princess who was lost in the Astral Plane and she is barely alive. She asked us to get her cat and so we came. We do things like that

Bixi Fizzlebang: Do you mind if I talk to one of the cats?

Licornah : :: raises eyebrow :: Love? :: pauses for a moment to ponder this possibility and is lost in thought ::

Indigo: Yeah. We do stuff like this all the time!

Master TMO (Master TMO): Craigh is still petting the sleeping Rimal and listening. I'm afraid I'm a bit short on brain and will power tonight.

Licornah : :: ponders :: Yes, you can talk to them. they are friendly ... well, to me they are

GM: There is the smaller cat that looks up at Bixi curiously

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wait, where the heck is my talk to animals spell

Licornah : do I need to do a roll of conviction if I want to trust them?

GM: no to lorie on needing a roll

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes please

Raelynn: (oh wait it is speak with animals)

GM: yes to Lemon on Bixi casting it

Effect ['Speak with Animals'] -> [to Raelynn]

Raelynn: (there think of that as Bixi casting it)

GM: and Lorie the smaller cat's name was?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, I have speak to dead

Licornah : Elven cat or other?

GM: Yes

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello cat, what is your name?

Licornah : Brynce?

GM: Brynce

Bixi Fizzlebang: Are you safe here?

Licornah : are you answering?

GM: trying to

Licornah : Okay :)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is that the cat's answer, or Bob trying to figure out more whispers?

Cat Small, Elven: I feel safer now

LorieD (Licornah ): (the latter)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Do you know if Rimal misses his family?

Cat Small, Elven: We all want to go home

Raelynn: (would N'laea understand it? it's Woodland, yes?)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Do you know where your home is?

Cat Small, Elven: In the woods

Bixi Fizzlebang: Do you know where the locket is that Rimal had?

GM: does not seem to understand that

LorieD: [TOWER] [d20 = 1]

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I expected as much

Bixi Fizzlebang: turns to the others

Licornah : that's me trying to decide if I trust them

Bixi Fizzlebang: This cat says they all want to go home

GM: Lorie was an extreme sucess

GM: rolled a 1

N'laea: Brynce, how did you get here?

Licornah : :: laughs ::

Cat Small, Elven: My partner brought me then died

Licornah : :: absently lowers her lance ::

N'laea: Was your partner a cat or an elf?

Cat Small, Elven: a forest person

N'laea: Did they tell you why they brought you here?

Cat Small, Elven: We traveled all over

N'laea: So you were alone when this elf found you here?

Cat Small, Elven: There was a big black cat

GM: Yes there is a large black cat (panther) here in the group

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How are these four giant cats getting fed in this tower?

User has gone AFK. (Master TMO)

seyfert (N'laea): looks up at the other cats

seyfert (N'laea): (ugh action whatever)

N'laea: gestures to Bixi and herself

N'laea: Do you understand us?

GM: No apparent reaction

GM: sitting and licking, cleaning its paws

N'laea: Bixi, try talking to the black cat to see if it'll respond to you. I can only speak certain dialects without casting a spell.

N'laea: But the spell may let it understand you.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello, what is your name?

GM: Turns away and continues to clean itself

Bixi Fizzlebang: shrugs

Licornah : Elven Cat is Nightshade; other cat is Chocolate

N'laea: I believe it is just being a cat and understand fine.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

Licornah : So... where would you go with us if you could leave?

LorieD (Licornah ): (Ummm... are you all still tied together?)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well, I want to help all these cats, but obviously Rimal is a priority for us, since *insert names* are waiting

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): my memory tonight tho

N'laea: Back to our home.

LorieD (Licornah ): (Nightshade, Chocolate, Brynce, Rimal)

Licornah : Silverdeep?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I meant the marid and the mage, but I definitely had already forgotten the other cats too, lol

GM: that name is not familiar to your group

N'laea: Dragon Fen is where most of them call home.

Licornah : do I need to roll to know if I know that place?

GM: That name is not familiar to Licornah

N'laea: But there are forests and elves there for Brynce.

GM: neither place is large and well known outside of their local area

Licornah : :: furrows brow ::

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can tell you right now, I know there are plans for whatever we do next, but if we don't make these cats happy, Bixi is striking out on her own quest to find them suitable homes

N'laea: The question is how do you plan to get to your home?

N'laea: We can go whenever we wish.

GM: laughs with Lemon

LorieD (Licornah ): (you didn't answer, are you all tied together still?)

seyfert (N'laea): (I assumed last session we were rescuing them all so I support this)

seyfert (N'laea): (I haven't a clue to answer that, lol)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, I didn't see that. We did jump right back in, we must be?

GM: yes

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Are the cats going to start playing with the rope?

GM: they have not yet

N'laea: (yet)

Licornah : :: turns and speaks to cats :: Well, what do you think? Go with them or dark dwarves for dinner?

Cat Small, Elven: Birds over Dwarves

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I will use ALL my spell slots to keep talking to them until they tell me they are perfectly happy

User is back. (Master TMO)

Licornah : :: nods and turns to group :: I am Licornah, priestess of Lurue. We will go with you to find them new shelter, but they remain under my protection for now.

Licornah : do they know Lurue?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Protection from what?

Whisper recipient not found.

Usage: /w GM [message] Usage: /w [recipient] [message]

N'laea: We will be returning Rimal home.

GM: Sorry still no whispers working for me not sure why they did for that short time but nothing now

GM: but No to Lorie

Licornah : :: furrows brow :: those who would harm them... why I've been dispatched here. I didn't WANT to be here. This is a perfectly dreadful place

Licornah : Okies... no worries. if they don't press... I don't offer

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well that's fine. You can come with us to take Rimal home, right?

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks at others

Bixi Fizzlebang: But do you know where his locket is? His partner will want it back.

Licornah : :: pauses :: I do...

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Zero idea what sex Rimal is. I may have swapped it a few times.

Master TMO (Master TMO): "Cat"

N'laea: You do not have a way home, do you?

Lanek: hehehe

Bixi Fizzlebang: gives Lanek a side-eye look

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What a weirdo

Licornah : Well... :: trails off :: does it require tethering myself to :: looks :: all of you like that? :: seems concerned at the idea ::

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Maya was confused too: 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.

N'laea: No, but I am pointing out the position you are in right now for the decisions you wish to make.

Licornah : :: frowns and says nothing, more pondering ::

N'laea: We came for Rimal and for the locket. We have a way home. We intend to return Rimal and the locket. You do not have a way home and dwarves who know where you are now.

N'laea: If you know where the locket is, you may wish to consider that.

GM: also to consider Carissa and Lorie, which types of Elves that N'laea and Licornah are

Licornah : :: continues to listen ::

Master TMO (Master TMO): spacey elves

N'laea: (she's grey, right?)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, agreed tmo

GM: 4 humans 1 gnome, 1 halfling, 1 half elf and the two elves

GM: and four cats

Master TMO (Master TMO): 3.5 humans

LorieD (Licornah ): (and a partridge in a pear tree)

seyfert (N'laea): (lol)

GM: and a partridge in a pear tree

GM: grins

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Isn't it more like 3.8 or something?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): He's just missing the one arm, no?

Master TMO (Master TMO): rounding error

seyfert (N'laea): (lol!)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

GM: in any case

springdew (Lanek): hahahahaha

GM: more cautiously accepting at the moment

GM: and everyone wanting to get to a safer place

Bixi Fizzlebang: is getting a little agitated

seyfert (N'laea): (doesn't Bixi have a locate object spell?)

Bixi Fizzlebang: If you are supposed to be protecting these cats, what could POSSIBLY make you want to stay here with them?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, but I think I have to know what the locket looks like? I can try anyway? If I still have spells?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And now that the cats have said they want to go home, I am frustrated with this elf lol

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): that means the elf is doing their job

GM: lol

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

Master TMO (Master TMO): that means they are successfully being an elf

seyfert (N'laea): (well now I don't feel like I've frustrated you all enough....)

GM: HAH

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

GM: but for simplicity sake we can say POOF and everyone is back at the Inn

N'laea: Look. You are supposed to be the logical one. You draw the conclusion. You do not have the upper hand here. We have a mission and means to finish it.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, you have three weeks to practice being frustrating

Master TMO: and here I thought we were supposed to be having fun? :P

N'laea: (errr was using our upper hand here Bob before Poof)

GM: and then you can work out the details of where and who and why and such for next week

Licornah : Well... I was sent here to await a sign -- a group of :: sniffs :: adventurers tied together isn't quiet what I anticipated. Your first words were of lies and you clammered in here drawing the attention of the dwarves. Is this theright sign?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

N'laea: If you question every sign, you'll miss it.

Bixi Fizzlebang: You're here to protect the cats. I want to help the cats. What other sign could there be that would be clearer than this?

Licornah [Elvish]: [Translation] I don't see you protecting the cats, I see you questioning the cats.
