'MadamePsychosis' connected

GM: Hello there!

'LorieD' connected

GM: Hey there Lorie

'Master TMO' connected

Licornah : Good evening and Happy New Year :)

GM: Thank you

GM: Hey TMO

Licornah : Evening TMO

GM: How was the update for everyone?

Master TMO: Easy enough

GM: very glad

Craigh: how did you know I arrived? I thought it didn't show that

GM: I see when each person connects

Licornah : There were 2 updates during the last break... no major issues for me

Licornah : I checked once a week to ensure I caught them

MadamePsychosis: Hello! Did you not see me because I connected before you?

GM: Lorie and Lisa did you see when TMO connected?

Master TMO (Craigh): ah

Licornah : Evening @Lisa

Licornah : I did not know they were online

MadamePsychosis: Hello :)

Licornah : I'm an update nerd

Master TMO (Craigh): Nerd!

GM: and Lorie try to do the OOC chat please

GM: grins

GM: I ran updates twice a week

LorieD (Licornah ): :: ponders to remember OOC ::

MadamePsychosis: I did a version of the chat with all the OOC removed but wasn't sure where to put it

Master TMO (Craigh): Alt-Enter to submit. it's annoying. a switch would be nice. ;) Or a TUI (telepathic user interface)

GM: there you go

GM: Thank you Lisa!

GM: I think that qualifies as a Story form

LorieD (Licornah ): all the other games / interfaces are easier to switch IC / OOC

MadamePsychosis: there is a language code typo :) elivish codes for elvish

GM: OUCH thank you I will go check that now

LorieD: I guess I can do this too

LorieD: and will need to grab character

GM: This works well

GM: totally up to individuals if they want a character or not

GM: and checked that Lisa my list is correct so that was me trying to type rather than copy/paste

MadamePsychosis: that's good then ...

GM: grins

GM: so I do hope that everyone had a good start to the year

GM: [d20 = 20]

GM: THere we go a very nice start to the year

LorieD: I survived the Expanse finale

GM: I have not watched yet

GM: that is tomorrow for me

Craigh: not a show I watch

LorieD: I've read all but book 9...

Craigh: granted, I don't watch a lot. I'm even way behind on SW and MCU shows

LorieD: Minus Eternals...I'm caught up on SW and MCU

GM: Did you watch Dexter Lorie?

LorieD: Nope... never -- we didn't have that channel when it was on cable and didn't see the point of watching the newer one

MadamePsychosis: yes no point if you didn't watch the original

GM: The new one is fun, and I wonder as long as you know the concept would it still be fun?

LorieD: mass murder is fun? :: pops popcorn :: do tell...

MadamePsychosis: I wouldn't call that season "fun"

'seyfert' connected

Craigh: he's a GM. perversion is normal for him. :P

Master TMO (Craigh): oop

LorieD: No comments from me

GM: The first couple of seasons of the show are amazing new fun twist of a show

GM: Welcome Lemon

MadamePsychosis: Hi Lemon!

Master TMO (Craigh): no incoming message that I saw

GM: hmmmm

LorieD: Evening Lemon :)

MadamePsychosis: We don't get notified

GM: ok then

LorieD: I watched Wheel of Time... and I'm at meh

LorieD: I guess I should have been more impressed?

GM: I liked the season, lots to still build on

GM: I like that they are keeping to the spirit of the ideas but building characters the way they want to

Master TMO (Craigh): I only made it to about book 5 of that series. just dragged on an on and on...

GM: yes same here

MadamePsychosis: haven't watched but heard it was renewed so it isn't going to be another of those 1 season and cancelled things

LorieD: I have to find a new series... not sure where to go

MadamePsychosis: Hi Carissa!

GM: DOH

N'laea: Hi all!

LorieD: Evening!

Master TMO (Craigh): wilkommen!

GM: Not Lemon sorry

N'laea: Hmm have to figure out OOC again....

GM: and for new series Lorie Lisa and Carissa know much more than I do

Master TMO (Craigh): Alt-Enter

seyfert (N'laea): Ah I keep hitting CTRL

LorieD: I found my notes -- Alt+Enter is at the top of them LOL

GM: There is a link on the Fantasy Grounds page on our site directly to the chat logs

GM: chat rules

seyfert (N'laea): This keyboard is set up with the two keys switched so I keep forgetting it's CTRL where ALT usually is

GM: Why are you switching keys?

seyfert (N'laea): lol not on purpose, just how the keyboard came and finger muscle memory confusion

GM: Ahh

GM: Was thinking gaming re-mapping etc

GM: The only one we are missing is Lemon for tonight

GM: Spring and Michael posted, no word from Lara

seyfert (N'laea): She might be getting home from work

GM: I hope she does, grins

seyfert (N'laea): lol texted her just in case

GM: no maps tonight so we can concentrate on Chat and using the combat tracker if needed for spells, etc.

GM: All of the people on the Combat Tracker are at the Inn

seyfert (N'laea): (Lemon on her way)

GM: Excellent

'LemonyLemon' connected

GM: That was very fast

Lemon: Well, at least I'm still getting an error box popping up lol

Lemon: Not that much has changed in the long absence

GM: Which error?

Lemon: I don't know, I closed it already

Carissa: same and same

Carissa: Oh wait choosing "new character" brings it back up...

Carissa: tl;dr Script execution error, s'actormanager deprecated error, script execution error

LorieD: that's after the update they pushed?

Lemon: I updated right before logging in

GM: Thank you for that

Carissa: Yes

GM: I am getting errors too, but not sure if it is because I am running extra things and if you see those

GM: will be able to check that against mine

GM: BUT now that we are all here

MadamePsychosis: Hi Lemon!

GM: Welcome to the new year!

MadamePsychosis: yippee

GM: As I posted I am not pushing to finish things by certain times as long as everyone is contributing and the story is moving along

Lemon: Hello!

GM: Are there any questions OOC from anyone you want me to answer first before going into IC greetings and learning about each others

Master TMO (Craigh): just did a bit of skimming, we left off appearing in the Inn with new elf and cats in tow, correct?

GM: Yes

GM: 4 cats total

Lemon: I have an OOC question

Lemon: Can I please stop leveling, it's hard and I don't understand it

Carissa: lol

MadamePsychosis: awww ... no it's a good thing!

Carissa: You can attempt to learn a new spell, I believe

Carissa: And it brings you one step closer to that rainbow spell!

Lemon: Yeah, like I said. It's hard lol

Lemon: Oh, true, I do want to learn the rainbow spell

GM: grins we will work on that leveling thing late tonight or next session I think

Lemon: I mean, I blinded a wyvern and froze some cats or something, I feel like I'm pretty good aside from rainbow spell

Carissa: But you can do more than a regular priest and more than a regular (illusionist) mage!

GM: yes you are, it is all about how you use your spells not which spells you have

Master TMO (Craigh): as the local illusionist mage, I support this statement.

Carissa: lol

MadamePsychosis: lol

Master TMO (Craigh): I support my apprentice in all her training. "Go apprentice!" I say.

MadamePsychosis: then help her level maybe? You are a very good teacher

GM: smile

Carissa: Proper mentorship there

GM: Lorie you ready?

LorieD (Licornah ): Sure... why not

GM: and SO

Master TMO (Craigh): who all leveled up?

GM: with a WHOOOSH

GM: suddenly the group is dragged from a dark fortress into the sunshine of the Inn

GM: for Licornah she sees sunshine again, but a roiling drifting mist like fog held just outside the courtyard where you landed

Lemon: Who's going to break the news about mist sickness?

Licornah : :: looks upward hopefully ::

Carissa: (did you just volunteer Bixi? :) )

Lemon: nope! I'm still lemon and nope!

Branwyn: unties rope around her waist and breathes a sigh of relief

Branwyn: Everyone okay?

Bixi Fizzlebang: takes off her first aid fanny pack

Master TMO (Craigh): what's the character action code again?

Craigh: ah, ctrl

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): CTRL-Enter

Craigh: Ummm... any idea what I should do with this cat?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Which one?

Craigh: is holding one of the sleeping cats for the teleport, and it's nearly bigger than him.

N'laea: Set it down gently?

Master TMO (Craigh): if I skimmed the events correctly

Indigo: unties himself

N'laea: removing rope from herself as well

Craigh: Yes.. umm... help please?

Indigo: Gerry's gonna be real surprised with all the cats

N'laea: Ah. Right

N'laea: goes to help him once unties

Bixi Fizzlebang: He might be happy. He did say there were rats

GM: Licornah's attention is drawn to Craigh's lack of arm

Indigo: I'm not sure these are the kinds of cats that chase rats

Religion, Elven

Raelynn: [SKILL] Religion, Elven [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 7]

Craigh: Thanks

Raelynn: looking at Licornah's unicorn wand/staff as she unties herself

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): ok - every time I type File Explorer seems to keep opening windows

Master TMO (Craigh): that sounds fun

GM: WOW Lisa

seyfert (Raelynn): (go with first and easiest solution: turn it on and off again)

Bixi Fizzlebang: And then on again, please

Raelynn: (also that, yes)

(Bixi Fizzlebang): whoops wrong button

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol same)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok, I just don't remember how

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): It stopped maybe? Did it 3 times though

seyfert (Raelynn): (just make sure you're actually holding alt? don't be me and sometimes hit the windows key and screw up)

GM: As everyone unties

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I have 15 FG zip files on my desktop - not sure I can keep doing this if this keeps happening

GM: WOW that is crazy Lisa

Master TMO (Craigh): you're all about the bizarre FG interactions, arentcha?

GM: that is definatly not what I am seeing

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): this is what was happening to Spring and Michael last session (but not me last time)

Master TMO (Craigh): no, nor here. weird.

GM: hmmm I wonder if it is where your default file saving is

Lemon: I haven't gotten any yet today

Lemon: It happened to me last time though

Lemon: afk for snack

GM: when you open FG upper left is a file folder and you can choose where it saves files

LorieD (Licornah ): I had that issued, but not tonight

GM: none of the extensions that I have affect anything you should see

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): but I don't want 100s of zip files anywhere

GM: You should not have any, I have 1 that just gets added to

seyfert (Raelynn): Would going through Steam maybe solve that?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I dunno

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I'm going to log out

'MadamePsychosis' disconnected

GM: Did anyone else see she disconnected?

GM: my guess is no as you are not seeing connections but just checking

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

GM: and I see that from Lemon

GM: for AFK

Master TMO (Craigh): I see Lemon has gone afk. but not Lisa

GM: OK

GM: Lisa logged out totally

seyfert (Raelynn): nope to seeing anyone disconnect

seyfert (Raelynn): we don't see when people connect or disconnect

GM: Ok

GM: As we go through this over the next couple of weeks I want to build up our own request list

GM: and I can submit that

seyfert (Raelynn): Actually, I see Indigo and Branwyn disappeared from the characters at the top so we can kind of see

GM: Good point

seyfert (Raelynn): but that only helps if someone selects their character which is why I like having the person icon, too

Carissa: aka this one

GM: can you please log out Carissa just to test that, if all three disapear

Carissa: k

'seyfert' disconnected

GM: yes they do

'seyfert' connected

GM: Yes to Carissa all three disapeared

GM: as expected

Carissa: Ok so a lot of the loading is just saying what books loaded BUT each character selection brings this specific error:

'MadamePsychosis' connected

Carissa: "Script execution error: string (blah blah manager_char.lua 3242 attempt to call field getActorFromCT (a nil value)

GM: good to have them

Carissa: I can screenshot if if you want exact exact text

GM: that would be nice thank you

GM: and Lisa did that fix things?

Carissa: lemme see if I can do that without logging out

Raelynn: nope, brb or I'll forget

'seyfert' disconnected

Branwyn: The folder button just opens File Explorer where the FG files are. There isn't an option to save there

'seyfert' connected

GM: But it is showing someplace OTHER than your desktop right?

Branwyn: yes

GM: Hmmm

GM: very weird

Branwyn: C:\Users\lisaj\AppData\LocalLow\SmiteWorks

seyfert: ....and now I have new errors, yay!

GM: Yeah?

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm just gonna sit over here with my head down and hope the gremlins don't see me....

GM: chuckles

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): but so far so good on not having a million zip files

GM: I think once Lisa and Carissa are set

GM: we carry on with the introductions with the new characters

N'laea: Hmm, it listed them as I logged in but now it won't let me scroll up to see which those specific ones are. I'll just screenshot the ones I can see and then I'm hopefully good for now

GM: we left off with Licornah noticing that Craigh only has one arm

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): just go ahead or we'll never move forward. If it kills me I will log off for the night

Licornah : :: ponders his lack of armage, but thinks it rude to ask him about it ::

GM: [5d4 = 0]

GM: Nope magic missle misses Lisa she stays in the game

Master TMO (Craigh): anybody else notice that Bob can fudge the dice?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): :)

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

seyfert (N'laea): Hmm this time I'll allow it

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm not finding anything on Google about it loading files to the desktop

GM: OK focusing on what we can move forward

Gerry the barkeep: Welcome home!

Gerry the barkeep: You must be hungry

Gerry the barkeep: and

Indigo: Hi Gerry!

Indigo: We have CATS!!

Craigh: waves

Gerry the barkeep: Ahhh who is this? and what, how , Ummm

Indigo: Lots of cats

Gerry the barkeep: How did you get so many cats in 3 days?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Don't worry Gerry, at least one of them will be leaving with us

Indigo: We were gone for 3 days?

Gerry the barkeep: Yes

Gerry the barkeep: I think

Indigo: scratches his head

Gerry the barkeep: I am still having a bit of a hard time with time

N'laea: How can you tell time in here?

Gerry the barkeep: if that makes sense

Indigo: I don't understand all this magicky travel stuff

Gerry the barkeep: But I think it has been three sleeps since you left

Gerry the barkeep: and who is this?

Gerry the barkeep looks at Licornah

Indigo: Licornah the cat keeper

Indigo: grins

Gerry the barkeep: You went to bring back someone to keep cats?

Gerry the barkeep: and brought back cats too?

Indigo: Uhhhh no?

N'laea: We went for one cat and found someone with cats.

Bixi Fizzlebang: The keeper was a bonus

Gerry the barkeep: Well nice to meet you cat keeper

Craigh: You can never get just *one* cat.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

Licornah : :: nods :: well met

Gerry the barkeep: Are you friends with the other elves?

Craigh: watches with interest to see how she answers this one

N'laea: You do know not all elves know other elves?

Indigo: Licornah, this is Gerry. He owns this inn

Gerry the barkeep: Really? you all seem to know each other

Gerry the barkeep: You two know Shi,

N'laea: We met her once we got here. We did not know her before.

Licornah : :: looks around :: these elves?

Licornah : I do NOT like dark elves...

N'laea: (wait how does he know her??)

Gerry the barkeep: I will go in and get things ready for you, come on in when you need a drink

Bixi Fizzlebang: There's a lot of elves in the world, Gerry, you'll probably have to be more specific

Indigo: I need a drink

N'laea: Neither do we.

GM: Apparently he knows OF her at least

Craigh: sniffles

Lemon: How does he know that THEY know her?

GM: They are Elves, duh

GM: How many elves could there be?

seyfert (N'laea): (Oh! Hey, you're in Texas, Lemon. You must have met my friend there by now, right?? ;) )

seyfert (N'laea): it's a small world and all

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): think that only works with dwarves

GM: LOL Lisa

seyfert (N'laea): LOL

GM: But you are left as a group in the courtyard to introduce your selves

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok that doesn't work in Texas, but it kind of does if you talk about Maine...

Craigh: sneezes

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Uggggh, this ooc

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): you'll get it

testing

LorieD (Licornah ): I don't know anyone in Philly

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I almost had it before the break lol

GM: does that look different to you?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): testing yes

LorieD (Licornah ): Yes looks different

Master TMO (Craigh): you are still bold italiced to me

ok will have to try that, might be good for story chat blocks

seyfert (N'laea): that's different and obvious now

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): nice

Master TMO (Craigh): oh, that. yes, this is MUCH different

To use the GM mode for story blocks and the OOC for normal typing

GM: I will see how the chat formatting looks with that

GM: but carrying on with How many elves could there be?

GM: Lories does not know this, but the rest of you do, Dwarves a a myth and Elves are legendary

GM: up until Branwyn settled with her friends

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Except we do know that neither is true

GM: true

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): but yes that is the thought around

seyfert (N'laea): but Gerry was from way back when, were they still rare then?

seyfert (N'laea): for this specific area

GM: Elves more rare than Dwarves back then

Branwyn: Licornah, I am Branwyn. I spologize for my curtness. We had a mission in a horrible plane and just wanted to get the cat and leave

Craigh: sneezes again

Bixi Fizzlebang: Craigh are you allergic to cats?

Raelynn: hands him a tissue

Craigh: is turning red.

Branwyn: You are in Dragon Fen in the kingdom of Drillian. Welcome the Mist free portion of the estate

Craigh: Maybe?

Licornah : :: nods ::

Licornah : :: ponders how far from home this place is ::

Branwyn: If you walk past those gates, you will enter the Mist and likely get sick

Branwyn: But that is the only way out to other lands other than teleportation

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is Craigh about to go into anaphalaxyis or something? I'm worried

GM: Licornah has never heard of Drillian before

GM: Or The Mist

LorieD (Licornah ): but I have :: shudders ::

GM: grins

Master TMO (Craigh): no, he's not wheezing or anything, just not having a good time

Craigh: wipes his face with the tissue.

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit

Licornah : I am from a town outside of Silvermoon

Branwyn: Silvermoon is an elven kingdom?

Licornah : :: raises eyebrow slowly :: Yes?

Licornah : It's a very large city :: unsure how to explain further ::

Licornah : It's larger than Waterdeep?

Branwyn: I have not heard of it or know how far away it is. I'm sorry

GM: Wolfspack

Branwyn: You are in the Small Kingdoms that is west of Terraguard

Licornah : :: shrugs :: The cats are safe... that's the important part

Licornah : Home is here :: points to head ::

GM: Terraguard is on the western side of the Great Mountains

Indigo: That's good

Bixi Fizzlebang: But surely it's better here than where you just were?

Craigh: sneezes again

Licornah : I'm not sure... how far are we from the Red Wizards?

Craigh: Gah, sorry. I don't think I've heard of them.

Licornah : Then, this is a better place

Indigo: I wish Wu Sen Cho was still here. He'd probably know where all those fancy places are

Indigo: Maybe if you go to that mage place with Rimal, they will know. I think that's far away, isn't it?

Branwyn: Yes, Indigo. We are taking the cat back to a land in a desert I believe

Craigh: scuse me!

Raelynn: Oh do you need another tissue?

Raelynn: hands him another one

Craigh: hurries into the inn to get some water to wash up with.

Licornah : Desert? ::thinks ::

Branwyn: HIyal

GM: Ponders just how many fancy hankerchiefs Rae has stuffed in her.....

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

seyfert (Raelynn): (he ran off so he'll never know...)

Master TMO (Craigh): best not to ask these sorts of questions

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Do they have benadryl in this world? I mean, I know there's no chocolate, which is borderline criminal, but what about complex medical drugs?

seyfert (Raelynn): probably in some more herb, less clean version

Master TMO (Craigh): would you like a cattail root?

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 14]

GM: Do you think the Priests would allow people to develop a way to get healed without having to donate to the church?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can I find something around here to help with allergies?

GM: not right here in the courtyard but you know of some along the edge of the Valoris Wood

seyfert (Raelynn): no no a little exposure overtime will help

LorieD (Licornah ): In my church, you adopt a pet :)

GM: smiels

LorieD (Licornah ): (err my character's)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How far is Valoris Wood?

GM: I think in Lorie's church too, and definately in Springs

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, good either way Lorie

GM: Valoris is about 12 miles away

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ehhhhh, I'll wait and see how he does before suggesting it

GM: you are on the northern edge of Dragon Fen it is on the southern border

GM: and I hope Lisa and TMO and Carissa smile at that idea of Dragon Fen stretching from a southern border north

GM: you built that

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): we did!

Master TMO (Craigh): on rock and roll!

GM: LOL

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

GM: anyone should be able to go to Records, and Images and bring up the Crainitate Wastes map to see where everything is

GM: The Inn is in Hourglass

GM: but you are here with a slightly less strange elf and four cats

seyfert (Raelynn): slightly less than what? the other elves??

Craigh: the fog effect is neat, but a little overwhelming at times

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit

Branwyn: So Licornah you are looking to stay here for a time?

Licornah : I, :: fumbles :: I, am meant to stay with the cats until they find their home. It has been willed.

Branwyn: Well I only have ahome for one of them. The others? I don't know

Bixi Fizzlebang: stage whispers to Branwyn "Don't forget about the locket"

Branwyn: smiles at Bixi

seyfert (Raelynn): (what kind of cats are they again?)

GM: We can set up a second map without it TMO

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): big

GM: large sand cat, smallish elven cat, a black panther, and a leapoard

Master TMO (Craigh): no worries, it eases up when you zoom in enough

Branwyn: I need to concentrate on the place we need to go to return Rimal so I was thinking we could stay here tonight and leave in the morning.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And they all want to go home

N'laea: Teleporting or through the Astral Plane?

Branwyn: You will give us the locket so we may return it with Rimal

Craigh: returns from within the Inn, having washed his hand and face. Even so, he doesn't get too near the cats.

seyfert (N'laea): (careful, they'll seek you out specifically now)

Branwyn: Teleporting. I do not know how to reach Hiyal through the Astral Plane.

N'laea: You have a book to recalibrate that Amulet, yes?

N'laea: And then to find a silver pool to search for her tower?

Branwyn: Yes but I have not tried it yet and we are not going to another plane. We are staying in this one to return the cat

seyfert (N'laea): I do not know which way is easier, though

N'laea: I do not know which way is easier, though.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Omg, Carissa, so true. Cats 100% know I am allergic as soon as I walk in a room

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): If Branwyn can have some concentration time with the crystal bll the odds will be pretty good for a successful landing

Master TMO (Craigh): they're exerting dominance over someone they know fears them

seyfert (N'laea): all good, didn't know she could teleport to somewhere she hadn't been so I just always figured the planes

Craigh: What can we do to help until tomorrow then?

Branwyn: Relax and rest. I'll need to concentrate on where Maya is so that when I cast I can have her location rooted in my head.

Branwyn: I can only take some of you though

Raelynn: Oh! Oh can I go? I want to seem them reunited!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Gerry, would your stables be able to be converted to a cat house... at least temporarily?

Branwyn: I can only teleport up to 550 lbs in a trip and can only go twice a day

Craigh: tries to estimate the weight of the cat

Branwyn: I have no idea how much the cat weighs

Licornah : The cats and I can find a tree to sleep near... we'll be okay

Master TMO (Craigh): withOUT getting near it

Craigh: I'd think a bedroom might be more comfortable

Branwyn: There is a stable and a guest house if you would prefer a roof over your heads

GM: brb

N'laea: They'll stay with you that long? Cats tend to wander.

Branwyn: I'm not sure Gerry would appreciate all the cats inside the inn, but the guest house is nice

seyfert (N'laea): (is Rimal the sand cat? because a "big" sand cat is only like 1.5 lbs....)

Licornah : It's okay... we understand. :: looks :: they want to be outside and get a fresh meal

LorieD (Licornah ): (Yes, rimal is the desert cat)

Branwyn: I'm not sure there is any game inside these gates. the horse is not a meal option

Branwyn: But Gerry can provide something for them to eat for now

GM: back

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Bob said it was 4-5 feet long

Craigh: I wonder how the animals and vermin around here reacted to the whole time loop thing?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Carissa, when will you learn that science has no place here

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

seyfert (N'laea): :P

GM: LIcornah would not understand that reference to time loop thing

Branwyn: Licornah, I have been distracted. Everyone has introduced themselves to you?

Bixi Fizzlebang: suddenly remembers her manners

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm Bixi!

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm going to write ghost stories!

Licornah : :: stays silent on time looping ::

LorieD (Licornah ): Nice to meet you, Bixi -- writing is important

Licornah : (ICC)

GM: Gnome, apparent spell caster

Craigh: waves

Craigh: Craigh, book-maker.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): but budding author is more important than priest illusionist :)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Obviously

GM: I love that it is Branwyn, no title, and Bixi, ghost story writer, and Craigh, book maker

GM: We just happened to find you with cats on the Plane of Pandemonium and brought you here

Master TMO (Craigh): scrawny one-armed ginger human

Indigo: I'm Indigo. I'm with Branwyn and a knight and admiral

Licornah : Nice to meet you as well, Crag the book maker - also important

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): didn't Bran say that Dragon Fen was hers?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): oops

LorieD (Licornah ): (she pronounces it as Craaagggg)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Dang, Indigo trying to make us all look bad

N'laea: N'laea.

Licornah : Indigo... Knight Admiral? Oh my, warring is frequent?

Master TMO (Craigh): it's pronounced 'Kray' actually. just to be difficult. inspired by the Welsh

Raelynn: Raelynn, Priestess of Hanali.

seyfert (Raelynn): ('cause he kray-kray)

Indigo: Well we did have a civil war a few years ago, but not really?

Master TMO (Craigh): Marisu might dispute that statement. ;)

Indigo: I was a knight for helping the Queen and then an Admiral to help with the war

GM: smile

Licornah : :: bows to Raelynn :: Well met Priestess

Licornah : Civil war? It was nice?

Indigo: Nice? Nope. But we weren't there for most of it. We came back at the end

Howard Plum: I am Howard, Branwyn's apprentice

Licornah : I see... what does Hanali serve?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is there maybe a novel about gnome religion? I have a library card now.

Licornah : :: nods :: Nice to meet you Howard

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): there's a book about everything

Raelynn: Um, Hanali is one of the triad? She's about beauty and love and all that.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But is it a novel? The ones that are written like nonfiction don't tend to hold my interest enough

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If there aren't, it's a million dollar idea.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): go for it!

Licornah : I see... :: thinks of the equivalent ::

seyfert (Raelynn): (maybe one of the comics?)

Master TMO (Craigh): Bob posted a link. there're fun characters in the Gnome section

GM: refocusing

GM: Branwyn has the guest house

GM: to do her research etc

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): ok

GM: Where are other people staying?

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

GM: going back to the Manor House? and or ?

seyfert (Raelynn): N'laea outside in the sun because why not. Rae would be happy with a big plush bed.

seyfert (Raelynn): (the real question is who wants to Mist Sickness??)

Craigh: Craigh will spend his time in the Inn, talking to Gerry and the others (if any)

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): exactly

Craigh: [SKILL] Information Gathering [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 11]

Craigh: just gathering general information on the people and place

LorieD (Licornah ): I'm staying with the cats outside and communing with them

GM: Howard and Indigo?

Indigo: So Licornah, are you in trouble? Did someone punish you by sending you to the wind plane? Are you a criminal?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): they would stay in the inn somewhere

Licornah : :: ponders :: In ... trouble? This is a great honor given to me by the high Silvermaiden herself to protect Rimal and his friends.

Indigo: But Pandemonium is a really bad place. Why did you bring cats there?

Indigo: We know Rimal went by accident but the others?

Licornah : ... to keep them safe from those who would them harm. Pandemonium was not ideal for holidays, this is true.

Indigo: How did you get to Pandemonium? Do you have an amulet like Branwyn?

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

Licornah : :: ponders :: I stepped through the door and was there

Licornah : and near Rimal

Indigo: That's strange

Indigo: So there's a door in Pandemonium that would take you back to your house?

Indigo: Or was it a one way door

Indigo: grins

Licornah : :: ponders unsure how to answer :: The high Silvermaiden opened the door for me

User has gone AFK. (Master TMO)

Indigo: Did she tell you how to get back?

Licornah : She said I would know when to leave

Indigo: frowns

Indigo: Huh

Indigo: You could have been there a real long time. Glad you are out of the place!

Licornah : Those dark dwarves were something

Licornah : They sure liked to hit rocks a lot

Indigo: Did they eat them?

Licornah : Not that I saw but :: shrugs :: who knows?

Indigo: Good dwarves don't eat rocks even though people try to feed rocks to dwarves all the time. Maybe dark dwarves eat rocks

Raelynn: A place like that, what else is there to eat?

Indigo: thinks

Licornah : there were bugs... and I saw large rats

Johan: No one eats rocks

Indigo: Even dark dwarves?

Johan: How would you chew them? and even with cheese they would not taste good

Raelynn: Umm isn't salt a rock? I've heard it called Salt Rock before.

Indigo: I'm sure there is someone or something out there that eat rocks. We've just never seen it

Johan: Salt is a tiny rock that you crush down

Johan: like a diamond

Bixi Fizzlebang: So maybe they crush it down into salt sized pieces

Raelynn: So it IS a rock!

Johan: no one eats salt you use salt

seyfert (Raelynn): jokes on you, I eat salt

N'laea: It's easier to lick it. The deer prefer it that way.

Johan: See

Johan: even animals do not eat salt

Johan: Dwarves are not animals

N'laea: Although I am certain that purple worm eats rocks. Whether or not it is an animal is a different discussion.

Bixi Fizzlebang: But you can crush it down and then eat it if you want, right?

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's a lot of work, but you could do it

Johan: A purple worm? isn';t that what swallowed Indigo?

Johan: and Indigo is not a rock

seyfert (N'laea): (wasn't it Brer swallowed?)

N'laea: And how else did it tunnel threw if it did not consume what was in front of it?

Bixi Fizzlebang: But how did it get through the rock if it didn't chew its way through? It doesn't have arms...

Well Brer might have rocks for brains

seyfert (N'laea): LOL

Johan: You are the nature person,

Johan: If you say worms eat rocks I am going to say yes

Johan: Worms in the garden eat dirt

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well then, as an expert, I can tell you with absolute certainty that there's probably something that eats some kind of rock

Indigo: Yes!

Indigo: Thanks Bixi

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm more of a plant expert, unless I can talk to an animal directly, but I stand by what I said.

Johan: So what do rocks have to do with cats?

Johan: and Her? points at Licornah

Indigo: Ummm ... nothing

N'laea: Dwarves chasing her.

Johan: Then it is good we do not have any dwarves around here

Johan: She will be safe

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe they grow mushrooms

Licornah : The dwarves weren't chasing me... until you all appeared

Licornah : We were safe in that house

Johan: Indigo has a way of getting into trouble

Johan: Of finding adventures

N'laea: You were trapped in that house.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Did you ever leave that house, Licornah?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Did you see anythink that might have been a mushroom?

Bixi Fizzlebang: is really distracted by the idea of food

Indigo: It wasn't my fault

Licornah : I remember rocks... a stream and smoke

Licornah : I don't recall any mushrooms, herbs, or foliage in general

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, a stream! They probably ate weird fish

Johan: Why wierd fish? why not normal fish?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Mystery solved... hey didn't Gerry say he had some food for us?

Bixi Fizzlebang: You think there are NORMAL fish in Pandemonium?

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks at Johan like he's crazy

User is back. (Master TMO)

Indigo: Yeah Gerry said we could come in when we wanted a drink

Gerry the barkeep: (as you enter the Inn) Hello there, are you staying the night? or going back to Skull Church?

Indigo: We have to stay the night so they can return a cat tomorrow

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Do I have money I can pay Gerry with if I ask him for food?

Yes

Raelynn: No no, I need a soft, fluffy bed and there isn't one at the church.

Gerry the barkeep: I have two rooms open still, there is a merchant group in the near two rooms, but the far two are open still

Bixi Fizzlebang: Gerry, do you have anything to eat? I'm suddenly starving

Gerry the barkeep: Or the great room if you like

Gerry the barkeep: I have soup and bread

Raelynn: What's the great room? Who are the merchants? You have visitors now?

Craigh: New patrons, passing through? Not your old crew?

Gerry the barkeep: The cook has the night off

Bixi Fizzlebang: That sounds delicious

Gerry the barkeep: People are starting to use the road again it seems? or maybe they always have but are now stopping in?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We should bring Gerry some chickens next time we come.

Raelynn: Oh that's exciting!

Gerry the barkeep: The Governor has been good

Gerry the barkeep: So far it is mostly small caravans

Gerry the barkeep: a handful of pilgrims came and I sent them to the Church

Branwyn: Do they know they're gonna get sick when they leave?

Bixi Fizzlebang: plonks some coins down on whatever surface Gerry is nearest to

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): wanted that to be Indigo but ok

Gerry the barkeep: the Pilgrims?

Branwyn: Pilgrims?

Bixi Fizzlebang: No hurry, but whenever you have a chance, I would love that soup and bread

Branwyn: sighs

Raelynn: Umm... are these pilgrims... ill?

Branwyn: Pilgrims to Skull Church I take it?

Gerry the barkeep: Yes

Branwyn: Oh well then getting sick shall bring them great joy

Raelynn: I'll stay in whatever room they were NOT in, please.

Gerry the barkeep: Why would they be sick?

Branwyn: When they leave the Inn to return to the Mist they will feel ill

Gerry the barkeep: Ahh I have not been out there into that

Branwyn: Sometimes mildly and sometimes quite strongly

Gerry the barkeep: Not sure I need to yet

Raelynn: I personally do not recommend it without VERY good reason.

Gerry the barkeep: What reason do you have?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Plus with the time stuff, who knows how you would react

Gerry the barkeep: The Countess has her Keep

Branwyn: manor house

Licornah : Is the mist a curse?

Gerry the barkeep: I did not think of that Bixi

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe you would get extra sick, or not sick at all, who knows.

Raelynn: My own. But I appreciate the sunshine when I can get it.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Or maybe if you came back you would come back to a different time... hmm

Bixi Fizzlebang: mumbles "Half Ghosts in the Mist..."

Branwyn: The Mist is a curse and a blessing to some. It protects Drillian from attack from outside forces. But it was created by vampires by the blood of dwarves and it is spreading so it is also a curse

Licornah : Vampires?

Branwyn: Yes

(well DUH)

Branwyn: Powerful vampire mages

(grins)

Branwyn: The Mist protects them

Licornah : Someone should do something about them

LorieD (Licornah ): :: looks at BOB knowingly ::

Master TMO (Craigh): HAH

Looks at TMO

Craigh: Funny you should say that.

GM: Letting Craigh or others explain

Craigh: There is an order of knights trying to do that. They've been at it for a while. The Mist is still expanding.

GM: It is getting towards evening

GM: anyone who chooses to leave the Inn for Skull Church

GM: can go there for the night or over to Snee

GM: the rest can sleep here at the Inn tonight with stars, etc

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): my guys will all stay here. Bran will be popping in an out of the crystal ball to help with the teleport familiarity

Craigh: staying here too. He's trying to learn more about the place

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit

Master TMO (Craigh): Dangit Count: 3

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What would be the purpose of leaving?

Master TMO (Craigh): not being here

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Bob wants to make us sick

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No thanks, I'll take the inn

LorieD (Licornah ): (Oh no he doesn't, he wants to charm us all in with those #$@$@ vampires)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): we will all be sick soon enough

Master TMO (Craigh): oh, it's much to late to avoid that

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Do cats get Mist sick?

GM: chuckles just making sure after three days away if you want to visit or such with anyone

GM: but to you it does not seem three days

GM: and for Branwyn all she gleans from her studies, research, etc is Hiyal About 360 miles northeast of golden Huzuz, at the rim of Suq Bay, lies the gray, industrious city of Hiyal. Set in the low valley of the river Al-Wahl, Hiyal is cloaked in the smoky stench of its foundries and kilns. The shroud seems to nurture the clandestine, for in the city's dark alleys and back rooms the deals of smugglers, thieves, and unscrupulous power brokers are made.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): How come the Astral plane trip took 20 minutes and the Pandemonium trip took 3 days even though we never slept there?

GM: The Mysterious Outer Planes

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We only have a limited amount of time to get this cat back and we already wasted like a week before we went so I vote to not go running around somewhere else and potentially get distracted

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): It's a mystery. Really? lol

GM: chuckles there is a pattern but it will take you a while of experimenting and research to determine it

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): if we come back from hell and a decade has passed I'll be pissed off :D

GM: At least you did not come back before you left

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): that would be fun

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): would we go insane if we saw our other selves?

GM: and so anyone else with anything other than Branwyn that you need to accomplish? I did do the healing so everyone should be at full HP and full spells, but you will need to check that

GM: at this point we do not know

Licornah : I'm communing and hoping for some guidance on where to go next...

Licornah : and wondering why this group lives so close to Vampires

Master TMO (Craigh): they're *all around you*!!!!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): TMO is working on it, don't worry

Master TMO (Craigh): (not my PC anymore)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): *those* vampires aren't close. We haven't told you about the vampires that are closer

Master TMO (Craigh): behind you!

GM: LOL

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): TMO's former self is working on it, don't worry

GM: AND so Lisa given the rules of the crystal ball, how are you looking for your Maya in Hiyal

Master TMO (Craigh): if the PCs ever choose to go after some vampires, they may be able to call on him

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm hoping he'll have it solved before we get there :P

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Well she concentrated on Namsut before and it worked so I was thinking she just keeps doing that off and on to memorize the location

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Instead of paying attention to Namsut she would try to get a feel for the room that she and Maya are in and focus on that

GM: ok

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): anyone who doesn't want to take the risk doesn't have to try - totally understandable

GM: Explain that to everyone, what the risk is and we need to double check how much each weighs

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): she'll memorize a couple featherfall spells but can't do anything for a low miss

GM: You can guestimate RImal at 90 pounds

MadamePsychosis: Well Bob decides on the exact percentages based on how well he thinks I've tried to become familiar with the place to teleport

seyfert (Raelynn): (90 pounds is neither desert cat nor sand cat, you have lied to us)

GM: Large desert cat

GM: on the small size for a leapard

seyfert (Raelynn): (desert/sand cats don't get bigger than 7 lbs! you have wrong species here ;) )

GM: chuckles

Master TMO (Craigh): MAGIC

MadamePsychosis: I'll cast and then roll a d100 too high and you land too low - like underground

GM: and Lorie welcome to our resident scientist

MadamePsychosis: too low and you land too high and take falling damage

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

LorieD (Licornah ): :: smiles ::

GM: She seriously is our scientist

MadamePsychosis: yes

seyfert (Raelynn): scientist or stickler or both....?

GM: grins

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm fine with staying

GM: but Rimal does way in at 90 pounds plus who is going with weighs how much?

MadamePsychosis: so if Bob gives me a seen casually level a 1-8 roll would be too high and a 97-100 would be too low (usually equals death)

Craigh: My guess would be Licornah, as Rimal's guardian. Followed by Raelynn or N'laea next.

Master TMO (Craigh): time to restart the campaign!!

GM: Ok so TMO gets to Ask Lorie how much she weighs

seyfert (Raelynn): Rae already asked to go if possible due to the who love/reunit the owner thing

Master TMO (Craigh): I missed that, Rae

seyfert (Raelynn): but also acknowledges the priority list

MadamePsychosis: we have Bran at 125 + 90 for cat in that trip

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm zero percent interested in a risk that could involve my tiny body falling from a great height

Master TMO (Craigh): weight limit is 250?

seyfert (Raelynn): you might just float

MadamePsychosis: too high is better - Bran can cast feather fall as we are falling to our deaths to stop it

MadamePsychosis: 550

Master TMO (Craigh): oh, MUCH better

GM: Raises an eyebrow, how much does TMO think Lorie weighs?

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm a guy. I don't do ladies' weights

GM: grins

MadamePsychosis: based on Carissa's elf weight thing I don't think they will weigh more than 100 lbs each

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I'm still not especially interested. Gerry is the least puzzling of all of Bob's characters, I'll take my chances with him

seyfert (Raelynn): looking it up, I'd say most average around 95-95 lbs

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

seyfert (Raelynn): ....*85

GM: Really tight average

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

seyfert (Raelynn): no clue for half-elves

LorieD (Licornah ): (these NPCs are way friendlier than I ever remember)

MadamePsychosis: they weigh as much as a desert cat

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, I Just assumed you meant most of them lie about it hahahaha

MadamePsychosis: lol

seyfert (Raelynn): I'd guess slightly heavier because human half

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

seyfert (Raelynn): friendly is a nice change of pace, we've had (still have??) some frustrating ones

LorieD (Licornah ): (usually his NPCs want to stuff us in closets...maybe you all are nicer to them or we aren't in the same area of the world we used to hang)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We murdered an annoying wizard so...

MadamePsychosis: you executed him

LorieD (Licornah ): (we need Marco and Mike here to talk to the NPCs... :: laughs to herself::)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It hasn't all been nice innkeepers who offer us free food

seyfert (Raelynn): well one of him

LorieD (Licornah ): (You murdered John's wizard? :: faints::)

Master TMO (Craigh): nonono - Bob's wizard

MadamePsychosis: yeah between Guy, Mike and Marco they will make all NPCs hate us :D

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The key is to ask their name

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That seems to work for me lol

LorieD (Licornah ): BOB played a wizard :: raises eyebrow :: )

Master TMO (Craigh): he plays everybody

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It was, in fact, the most annoying, most self-obsessed, most misogynistic wizard I have ever encountered.

LorieD (Licornah ): (They never played with a certain Vertere)

LorieD (Licornah ): (LOL)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Self-aggrandizing maybe a better word

GM: Wait till you hear the story about Skull Church and why the previous adventure was call Third Time is Tradition

GM: but for now you have some calculations for your morning trip

MadamePsychosis: let's not go there

GM: You have years to tell stories of the past years

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm going to go make some popcorn to have while I spectate the return of the cat

GM: tonight we want to settle in on being ready for the return

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The return of the half-ghost cat?

GM: Sounds like a best seller

LorieD (Licornah ): as long as it's not a lich, you're golden

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Exactly what I was thinking

GM: I do hope you are collecting all these potential titles

GM: should put them on Bixi's page

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have actual notes on paper

GM: nice

seyfert (Raelynn): but we can't read them

GM: sad but true

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's because Bixi hasn't had time to turn them into a story yet

MadamePsychosis: so Branwyn, cat, Licornah, Raelynn and Craigh can all go in one trip I think

seyfert (Raelynn): cat has a name

MadamePsychosis: does anyone else want to go or not want to go that is on the list?

GM: How much is Craigh?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ngl, some of these are incomprehensible at this point

MadamePsychosis: lol Carissa

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh is probably no more than an elf

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): "Brushing + presents = leader of wolf pack?"

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have no idea what that means

MadamePsychosis: thought Craigh was 140-150

Craigh: hmm

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit (#4)

MadamePsychosis: lol

seyfert (Raelynn): (so make a page of just notes for her stories, doesn't have to be comprehensible :) )

Craigh: I don't have his height and weight here yet

GM: 140 is the average for a human

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit 5

MadamePsychosis: we dimension door'd with him and I thought it was around that

Master TMO (Craigh): might be

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Are you accounting for the missing arm?

MadamePsychosis: we just have to go before Talwin shows up

MadamePsychosis: he's a hefty man

MadamePsychosis: :D

GM: LOL

GM: and laughs with Lemon too

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

MadamePsychosis: wait that won't work

MadamePsychosis: 2 trips

Master TMO (Craigh): I didn't put his height and weight in Klooge either

MadamePsychosis: no it does work - I hate maths

GM: Why 2 trips?

GM: list out each one

MadamePsychosis: cat and 2 elves at 90 a piece is 270

GM: ok

MadamePsychosis: bran at 125 and Craigh at 140 is 535

GM: you have 20 to spare

MadamePsychosis: I added an extra elf and thought I was too high

GM: You have feather fall for that

seyfert (Raelynn): Nah the other elf is staying behind

MadamePsychosis: sorry - we can do 2 trips if you want her. We would have had to is Bixi was coming

seyfert (Raelynn): (she'll hold on to the valuables while Rae goes on her trip)

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

MadamePsychosis: if

seyfert (Raelynn): (no no, no reason for Nlaea to go anywhere, and Rae only if there is room)

GM: and so the other bit to solve is which other spells to memorize

GM: and or anything misc to take

MadamePsychosis: I'd like to look at the locket before we return it

MadamePsychosis: empty packs in case they give us presents for returning Rimal the cat

GM: and briefing Licornah perhaps more completly on what this trip is going to accomplish

GM: yes to empty packs

MadamePsychosis: we will have an extra 90 pounds to spare for the trip back

MadamePsychosis: we would like 90 lbs of loot please!

GM: actually 110

Craigh: is happy he's invited along.

MadamePsychosis: yes

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit 6

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm getting help with his weight. He's 5'6 in height

seyfert (Raelynn): one day

GM: maybe TMO has hit upon it, if you dangit 8 times you have to edit the chat log

seyfert (Raelynn): and scrawny and armless, right? so probably closer to 130 lbs or so

Master TMO (Craigh): I ain't sayin' anudder wurd

GM: LOL

GM: BUT I am 144 and 5 foot 6 (40+ less than the last time you saw me)

GM: TMO is just a giant and has no clue what normal people weigh

Branwyn: I really don't like my spell choices being broadcasted :)

Master TMO (Craigh): congrats!

Master TMO (Craigh): you are 10% correct

Master TMO (Craigh): 100%

Branwyn: lol

seyfert (Raelynn): I can't see your spell choices if they're showing up for you, so maybe just Bob sees them?

GM: I did not see her spell choices

Branwyn: you don't see me forgetting and memorizing spells?

GM: nope

Branwyn: Interesting

seyfert (Raelynn): nothing from the player end

Craigh: Disawareness

GM: HAH

Branwyn: not that it's such a big secret it's just strange

Master TMO (Craigh): can you view them in the character sheet?

GM: Lorie are you good with your spells?

LorieD (Licornah ): (I believe so)

Branwyn: yes I am changing a couple

Branwyn: I'm done

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): dangit x2 for me?

GM: smiles

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): eek - scrolling up that makes 7 actually

Branwyn: [CHECK] [DEX+1] (vs. Target 3) [SURPRISED! by 1] [d6+1 = 2]

Master TMO (Craigh): well, let's put it this way: in 8th grade I was probably 5'4-6, and 98 lbs

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): no clue what that was

GM: I did that

GM: just to test

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): but Craigh is a man and so hopefully would have some muscle

Master TMO (Craigh): I wrestled in the <100lbs category. Placed 3rd. Out of 4. ;)

GM: Definately

seyfert (Raelynn): a muscle

Craigh: Are we forgetting Craigh has a STR of 5?

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit 7

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm gonna be editing this thing, ain't I?

GM: It is 11 you want to click and do this now? or wait till next week?

seyfert (Raelynn): either or

Master TMO (Craigh): I have no plans.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have popcorn

GM: I think my plan for automating works decently we will see on tonight's log how well

GM: I have charcters

GM: ready when you are

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): teleport now and roleplay next week?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): see if we can roleplay next week? :)

seyfert (Raelynn): lol seems roleplay will be easier than OOC

GM: I think the teleport now is a good thing

Master TMO (Craigh): voooorp

seyfert (Raelynn): would bless help with it/benefit?

GM: then we can do a bit of roleplay and see where we get to

GM: from someone traveling along yes

Raelynn: welp then add that

GM: Bless is always a good thing

GM: how much of a help it actually is depends

Master TMO (Craigh): my biggest problem with the online rp here is that I'm a fast typer. ;) I deliberately hold myself back so others have a chance to reply. It becomes a habit to not respond and give others time.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): how do you cast again?

Bless

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I remember nothing

seyfert (Raelynn): ....I don't know, lol

seyfert (Raelynn): because that apparently didn't quite work

seyfert (Raelynn): TMO is nicer than me

Master TMO (Craigh): Actions Tab

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): don't hold back please

Johan: [INIT] [MOD:Read Magic] [d10+99 = 107]

seyfert (Raelynn): Uhhhh that is an odd roll there, Johan

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well that brought up my error box

LorieD (Licornah ): Please don't cast that again, BOB, it triggered like 10 errors on my screen LOL

Johan: [CAST] Monster Summoning I

seyfert (Raelynn): Yeah, if you hold back, then you don't give Lisa the challenge of typing the same thing as you but before you!

Master TMO (Craigh): you can cast spells on the Actions Tab, Mode Combat, Display Actions

GM: How about that one

LorieD (Licornah ): No errors

Master TMO (Craigh): drag the die to the chat window

seyfert (Raelynn): Ahh you have to click the loopy thing/view details for the dice to show up

Raelynn: Raelynn cast a spell NOT memorized.

Raelynn: [CAST] Bless

GM: You drag the spell to the character you want to cast it on

GM: on the conmbat tracker

Johan: [CAST] Hypnotic Pattern [at Raelynn]

Raelynn: [SAVE] vs. Spell [d20 = 1]

Save [1] [Target 14] -> [for Raelynn] [vs Johan] [TARGET-FAILED]

Raelynn: OR if you want it to show up like mine, you can do it from Actions Tab -> Powers -> View Details and then it shows dice

GM: and Johan has captivated Rae

Raelynn: Raelynn cast a spell NOT memorized.

Raelynn: [CAST] Bless

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I am not seeing how to do it

seyfert (Raelynn): HA he wishes! I need an APR roll for that

Master TMO (Craigh): Give me your Elfin Blessings!

Raelynn: One sec let me screenshot

GM: But then the Bless spell that Rae cast is not on anyone where the spell Johan cast on Rae had her save etc already set

Branwyn: Branwyn cast a spell NOT memorized.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): ok got it - sorry

Branwyn: [CAST] Teleport

GM: try casting magic missle on Indigo for example

seyfert (Raelynn): I took a screenshot anyways

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): d100 is how?

Johan: [CAST] Magic Missile [at Indigo]

Johan: [DAMAGE] Magic Missile [TYPE: force (3d4+3=11)] [3d4+3 = 11]

Master TMO (Craigh): Carissa takes fancier screenshots than I do.

seyfert (Raelynn): I forgot to circle the cast button :(

GM: but there are options

Branwyn: [d100 = 27]

GM: Rae can drag Bless onto Branwyn

seyfert (Raelynn): Ah I see your point. I forgot bless is specific, some aren't so it wouldn't matter as much

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): yay!

Raelynn: Raelynn cast a spell NOT memorized.

GM: now try that roll again for Branwyn

seyfert (Raelynn): Hmm I dragged it, it yelled at me, but doesn't say if it blessed Bran

Raelynn: Raelynn cast a spell NOT memorized.

GM: curious at that if it applies automatically

Raelynn: Raelynn cast a spell NOT memorized.

Raelynn: [CAST] Bless [at Branwyn]

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I rolled a 27 - what level teleport are you judging me on?

seyfert (Raelynn): (okay so it does if in combat tracker but does NOT if just drags up to the top list of characters)

GM: Lisa please roll again to see if the Bless affects the roll automatically

seyfert (Raelynn): (and she apparently is also allergic to cats as it say she has a rash)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): oh no ...

Branwyn: [d100 = 33]

GM: and no it does not

Master TMO (Craigh): tragic

Master TMO (Craigh): is Branwyn under a Bless effect on her sheet?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): a 33 is a make on the Never Seen level so we should be okay

GM: no

seyfert (Raelynn): (not that I see)

GM: Yes the teleport works well

GM: and you are safe

GM: but the Bless spell did not place an effect on Branwyn's sheet

GM: apparently

GM: On the Combat Tracker you can go to Effects and see all the various effects placed by who

Master TMO (Craigh): I don't have an effects tab

GM: OK

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): yes my effects for some reason are irritation and rash :)

Master TMO (Craigh): it does list them under each chaaracter

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): and acquaintance

GM: BUT your group lands in a courtyard

seyfert (Raelynn): it looks like you can delete them, I just did for Rae

seyfert (Raelynn): oh wait not all of them nevermind

Raelynn: [EFFECT] Bless; ATK: 1; SAVE: 1; CHECK: 1 [ = 6]

Effect ['Bless;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;CHECK: 1'] -> [to Raelynn]

seyfert (Raelynn): OOOOHHHH

Effect ['Bless;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;CHECK: 1'] -> [to Branwyn] [by Raelynn]

seyfert (Raelynn): Okay NOW it's there

seyfert (Raelynn): Lemme do a fancy screenshot again

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I see it

Youtargim [A Comm]: [Translation] Hello, How are you?

Hello, How are you?

[understood by: ]

Branwyn: startled

Master TMO (Craigh): yep, it's on her character now, but it specifies attack, save, check, not percentiles

Branwyn: Hello?

Youtargim [A Comm]: [Translation] Hello

Hello

[understood by: ]

Branwyn: Princess Maya

Craigh: looks at the others to see if anyone understands it.

Branwyn: Namsut

Branwyn: Rimal!

Branwyn: points at Rimal

Craigh: pulls out a scroll out of a case on his belt.

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit 7

Youtargim slight bow

Youtargim: Hello there

Raelynn: Hello! Who are you?

Youtargim: You are far from home

Licornah : :: gives a low bow ::

Branwyn: I can understand you now! Thank youo

Youtargim: I have not heard your tongue in years

Craigh: slides the scroll back into the case while doing a bow.

Raelynn: And I haven't heard yours, um, ever, I think.

Branwyn: We have come to return Rimal to Princess Maya

Youtargim: You are from the far wilderness,

Youtargim: The Princess will be most grateful

Raelynn: I didn't think the city was that wild...

Branwyn: Is the Princess well?

Youtargim: If you would please forgive me as I go to fetch the Princess

Youtargim: Please relax here at the fountain

GM: The young man leaves you in the courtyard

Master TMO (Craigh): what did young man look like? human?

Raelynn: This place seems nice.

Raelynn: looks around

GM: there is a fountain with water flowing over the center down into a pool with a wide bench around the outside of the pool

Branwyn: Thank goodness he spoke Common. That could have been difficult

Craigh: I have a couple scrolls of Comprehend Languages on me.

GM: He was a young human, perhaps 18 or so,

Branwyn: From what I have read, many parts of the city here are not so nice. But then you can say that of most cities

GM: there is a bright blue sky above, with slight white clouds high above

Raelynn: blinks and looks up at the sky

Raelynn: Oh, I'm sure, but at least there's sunshine here!

GM: And then the occasional darker lower cloud that comes from the many fires here in the city

Raelynn: Better than Pandemonium. Not that that's hard to do.

GM: after a half hour or so

GM: Namsut comes out pushing Maya in her wheelchair

Craigh: prowls around the room, just looking and poking.

Raelynn: enthusiastically waves

Maya [A Comm]: [Translation] My sweet girl, you are such a naughty thing, why did you run away

My sweet girl, you are such a naughty thing, why did you run away

[understood by: ]

Raelynn: You two are SO cute together.

Maya: Rimal

Craigh: bows to them.

Maya [A Comm]: [Translation] You are a very naughty cat

You are a very naughty cat

[understood by: ]

Maya looks up at the group

Maya: Thank you so much

Maya: How did you find her?

Maya: I want to hear the story

Namsut slips over the wall of the fountain and into the basin

Raelynn: Um, well Branwyn found her through her crystal ball, and then we teleported to the tower where we found Rimel and also her.

Branwyn: Namsut helped with the desciption and I have a crystal ball I used to locate her.

Raelynn: points to Lichorah

Raelynn: *Licornah

Branwyn: When we arrived in Pandemonium we found she was being taken care of by Licornah here

Licornah : I was sent to her by the high Silvermaiden to protect her and her friends.

Maya looks up at Licornah

Maya: Her friends?

Maya smiles

Licornah : :: motions at the smaller cats ::

Other cats are not here

Master TMO (Craigh): (did we bring those? I missed that)

LorieD (Licornah ): (Oh dear... )

Master TMO (Craigh): they're safe back at the Inn, we're going right back

Maya: I am so happy that you are friends with my little Rimal

Craigh: More cats.

Licornah : Well, she had made friends who have not made the journey with us... they got on well

Licornah : Rimal is a happy creature -- enjoys the outdoors

Maya: Yes she likes to stalk and pounce

Youtargim [C Comm]: [Translation] and scratch and bite

and scratch and bite

[understood by: ]

Branwyn: I believe Licornah has the locket ...

Maya: There must be more to the story than a simple look and find?

Raelynn: Sometimes the simplest love stories are the best.

Maya: It takes me more time to find the right earrings in the morning

Craigh: I'm not sure where the dwarves fit into the whole thing, to be honest.

Maya: Please sit and tell me the tale

Maya: The last I saw you I was freezing again

Maya: then I was here with my love

Branwyn: How are you feeling now?

Maya reaches over and touches the surface of the water

Branwyn: sits down by the fountain

Raelynn: Oh, you want more embelishments? We can tell you how dark and windy it was or how smelly and angry the dwarves were, but we really weren't there long.

Maya: I am feeling stronger

Maya: I cannot cast yet

Maya: But I hope soon

Raelynn: Has a priest looked you over to make sure you're healing well?

Branwyn: Oh. That must be so hard, but I am glad you are getting better

Maya: What dwarves did you see?

Maya: I am healing, I do not need any priest

Raelynn: Oh, um, okay...

Branwyn: Only one dwarf. We left before we saw more.

Licornah : They were dark dwarves, duergar. Not the friendliest

Licornah : And they are noisy, always digging and tunneling

Craigh: Was it in one of their strongholds you were hiding in? Or were they just nearby?

Branwyn: But yes, it was not so simple. We needed to land in Pandemonium in an unknown location to even be able to use the crystal ball to try to find Rimal.

Maya: I have not seen such, there are the dwarves that live in the mountains of course but the Yak Men often are confused with them

Raelynn: Oh! Where two snakes almost got us! But Bixi saw them before they did any harm.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I forgot I did that

Branwyn: There were terrible winds. We had to protect our ears to keep from going deaf or insane. We say corpses hanging in the wind by a river. Rimal is lucky to have found such a good protector during her time there

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): saw

Maya: Warm smiles

Branwyn: What are Yak Men?

Maya: Thank you all very much for such valient efforts

Maya: High in the Yemel the YakMen live

Maya: they are wise but violent people

Craigh: An odd combination

Maya: almost as barbaric as your people are

Craigh: How terrible.

GM: Is this a good place to pause?

GM: you can formulate any other questions

GM: and wrap up this encounter next week

Master TMO (Craigh): I think so for me, unless someone else has something

GM: click back and do more at home?

seyfert (Raelynn): running out of steam and therefore ability to think of questions

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): yes - I want to ask about the sphere of power quest

GM: sounds good

Master TMO (Craigh): I still have problems getting into character as Craigh

GM: we can start off next week with all of that

LorieD (Licornah ): (I've been up since 6:30 my time, so I get it)

MadamePsychosis: who doesn't want to go on a quest for a sphere of power

GM: exactly!

GM: and sorry Lorie

GM: go sleep

LorieD (Licornah ): No worries -- night all

'LorieD' disconnected

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight!

seyfert (Raelynn): night all!

GM: of course I have been up since 6 but I wake every day at that time

GM: night everyone

'seyfert' disconnected

GM: I will work through this chat now and post

Bixi Fizzlebang: Goodnight friends!

Craigh: night

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight all!
