'Lisa' connected
BOB Hello there!
'Lorie' connected
BOB Hey there Lorie
'TMO' connected
Licornah : Good evening and Happy New Year :)
BOB Thank you
BOB Hey TMO
Licornah : Evening TMO
BOB How was the update for everyone?
TMO: Easy enough
BOB very glad
Craigh: how did you know I arrived? I thought it didn't show that
BOB 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
Lisa: Hello! Did you not see me because I connected before you?
BOB Lorie and Lisa did you see when TMO connected?
TMO (Craigh): ah
Licornah : Evening @Lisa
Licornah : I did not know they were online
Lisa: Hello :)
Licornah : I'm an update nerd
TMO (Craigh): Nerd!
BOB and Lorie try to do the OOC chat please
BOB grins
BOB I ran updates twice a week
Lorie (Licornah ): :: ponders to remember OOC ::
Lisa: I did a version of the chat with all the OOC removed but wasn't sure where to put it
TMO (Craigh): Alt-Enter to submit. it's annoying. a switch would be nice. ;) Or a TUI (telepathic user interface)
BOB there you go
BOB Thank you Lisa!
BOB I think that qualifies as a Story form
Lorie (Licornah ): all the other games / interfaces are easier to switch IC / OOC
Lisa: there is a language code typo :) elivish codes for elvish
BOB OUCH thank you I will go check that now
Lorie: I guess I can do this too
Lorie: and will need to grab character
BOB This works well
BOB totally up to individuals if they want a character or not
BOB and checked that Lisa my list is correct so that was me trying to type rather than copy/paste
Lisa: that's good then ...
BOB grins
BOB so I do hope that everyone had a good start to the year
GM: [d20 = 20]
BOB There we go a very nice start to the year
Lorie: I survived the Expanse finale
BOB I have not watched yet
BOB that is tomorrow for me
Craigh: not a show I watch
Lorie: 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
Lorie: Minus Eternals...I'm caught up on SW and MCU
BOB Did you watch Dexter Lorie?
Lorie: Nope... never -- we didn't have that channel when it was on cable and didn't see the point of watching the newer one
Lisa: yes no point if you didn't watch the original
BOB The new one is fun, and I wonder as long as you know the concept would it still be fun?
Lorie: mass murder is fun? :: pops popcorn :: do tell...
Lisa: I wouldn't call that season "fun"
'Carissa' connected
Craigh: he's a GM. perversion is normal for him. :P
TMO (Craigh): oop
Lorie: No comments from me
BOB The first couple of seasons of the show are amazing new fun twist of a show
BOB Welcome Lemon
Lisa: Hi Lemon!
TMO (Craigh): no incoming message that I saw
BOB hmmmm
Lorie: Evening Lemon :)
Lisa: We don't get notified
BOB ok then
Lorie: I watched Wheel of Time... and I'm at meh
Lorie: I guess I should have been more impressed?
BOB I liked the season, lots to still build on
BOB I like that they are keeping to the spirit of the ideas but building characters the way they want to
TMO (Craigh): I only made it to about book 5 of that series. just dragged on an on and on...
BOB yes same here
Lisa: haven't watched but heard it was renewed so it isn't going to be another of those 1 season and cancelled things
Lorie: I have to find a new series... not sure where to go
Lisa: Hi Carissa!
BOB DOH
N'laea: Hi all!
Lorie: Evening!
TMO (Craigh): wilkommen!
BOB Not Lemon sorry
N'laea: Hmm have to figure out OOC again....
BOB and for new series Lorie Lisa and Carissa know much more than I do
TMO (Craigh): Alt-Enter
Carissa (N'laea): Ah I keep hitting CTRL
Lorie: I found my notes -- Alt+Enter is at the top of them LOL
BOB There is a link on the Fantasy Grounds page on our site directly to the chat logs
BOB chat rules
Carissa (N'laea): This keyboard is set up with the two keys switched so I keep forgetting it's CTRL where ALT usually is
BOB Why are you switching keys?
Carissa (N'laea): lol not on purpose, just how the keyboard came and finger muscle memory confusion
BOB Ahh
BOB Was thinking gaming re-mapping etc.
BOB The only one we are missing is Lemon for tonight
BOB Spring and Michael posted, no word from Lara
Carissa (N'laea): She might be getting home from work
BOB I hope she does, grins
Carissa (N'laea): lol texted her just in case
BOB no maps tonight so we can concentrate on Chat and using the combat tracker if needed for spells, etc.
BOB All of the people on the Combat Tracker are at the Inn
Carissa (N'laea): (Lemon on her way)
BOB Excellent
'Lemon' connected
BOB 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
BOB 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
Lorie: that's after the update they pushed?
Lemon: I updated right before logging in
BOB Thank you for that
Carissa: Yes
BOB I am getting errors too, but not sure if it is because I am running extra things and if you see those
BOB will be able to check that against mine
BOB BUT now that we are all here
Lisa: Hi Lemon!
BOB Welcome to the new year!
Lisa: yippee
BOB 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!
BOB Are there any questions OOC from anyone you want me to answer first before going into IC greetings and learning about each others
TMO (Craigh): just did a bit of skimming, we left off appearing in the Inn with new elf and cats in tow, correct?
BOB Yes
BOB 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
Lisa: 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
BOB 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!
BOB yes you are, it is all about how you use your spells not which spells you have
TMO (Craigh): as the local illusionist mage, I support this statement.
Carissa: lol
Lisa: lol
TMO (Craigh): I support my apprentice in all her training. "Go apprentice!" I say.
Lisa: then help her level maybe? You are a very good teacher
BOB smile
Carissa: Proper mentorship there
BOB Lorie you ready?
Lorie (Licornah ): Sure... why not
BOB and SO
TMO (Craigh): who all leveled up?
BOB with a WHOOOSH
BOB suddenly the group is dragged from a dark fortress into the sunshine of the Inn
BOB 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
TMO (Craigh): what's the character action code again?
Craigh: ah, ctrl
Lisa (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?
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
BOB 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
Lisa (Indigo): ok - every time I type File Explorer seems to keep opening windows
TMO (Craigh): that sounds fun
BOB WOW Lisa
Carissa (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
Carissa (Raelynn): (lol same)
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok, I just don't remember how
Lisa (Indigo): It stopped maybe? Did it 3 times though
Carissa (Raelynn): (just make sure you're actually holding alt? don't be me and sometimes hit the windows key and screw up)
BOB As everyone unties
Lisa (Indigo): I have 15 FG zip files on my desktop - not sure I can keep doing this if this keeps happening
BOB WOW that is crazy Lisa
TMO (Craigh): you're all about the bizarre FG interactions, arentcha?
BOB that is definitely not what I am seeing
Lisa (Branwyn): this is what was happening to Spring and Michael last session (but not me last time)
TMO (Craigh): no, nor here. weird.
BOB 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
BOB when you open FG upper left is a file folder and you can choose where it saves files
Lorie (Licornah ): I had that issued, but not tonight
BOB none of the extensions that I have affect anything you should see
Lisa (Branwyn): but I don't want 100s of zip files anywhere
BOB You should not have any, I have 1 that just gets added to
Carissa (Raelynn): Would going through Steam maybe solve that?
Lisa (Branwyn): I dunno
Lisa (Branwyn): I'm going to log out
'Lisa' disconnected
BOB Did anyone else see she disconnected?
BOB my guess is no as you are not seeing connections but just checking
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
BOB and I see that from Lemon
BOB for AFK
TMO (Craigh): I see Lemon has gone afk. but not Lisa
BOB OK
BOB Lisa logged out totally
Carissa (Raelynn): nope to seeing anyone disconnect
Carissa (Raelynn): we don't see when people connect or disconnect
BOB Ok
BOB As we go through this over the next couple of weeks I want to build up our own request list
BOB and I can submit that
Carissa (Raelynn): Actually, I see Indigo and Branwyn disappeared from the characters at the top so we can kind of see
BOB Good point
Carissa (Raelynn): but that only helps if someone selects their character which is why I like having the person icon, too
Carissa: aka this one
BOB can you please log out Carissa just to test that, if all three disappear
Carissa: k
'Carissa' disconnected
BOB yes they do
'Carissa' connected
BOB Yes to Carissa all three disappeared
BOB as expected
Carissa: Ok so a lot of the loading is just saying what books loaded BUT each character selection brings this specific error:
'Lisa' connected
Carissa: "Script execution error: string (blah blah manager_char.lua 3242 attempt to call field getActorFromCT (a nil value)
BOB good to have them
Carissa: I can screenshot if you want exact text
BOB that would be nice thank you
BOB and Lisa did that fix things?
Carissa: lemme see if I can do that without logging out
Raelynn: nope, brb or I'll forget
'Carissa' disconnected
Branwyn: The folder button just opens File Explorer where the FG files are. There isn't an option to save there
'Carissa' connected
BOB But it is showing someplace OTHER than your desktop right?
Branwyn: yes
BOB Hmmm
BOB very weird
Branwyn: C:\Users\lisaj\AppData\LocalLow\SmiteWorks
Carissa: ....and now I have new errors, yay!
BOB Yeah?
TMO (Craigh): I'm just gonna sit over here with my head down and hope the gremlins don't see me....
BOB chuckles
Lisa (Branwyn): but so far so good on not having a million zip files
BOB I think once Lisa and Carissa are set
BOB 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
BOB we left off with Licornah noticing that Craigh only has one arm
Lisa (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]
BOB Nope magic missile misses Lisa she stays in the game
TMO (Craigh): anybody else notice that Bob can fudge the dice?
Lisa (Branwyn): :)
User is back. (Lemon)
Carissa (N'laea): Hmm this time I'll allow it
TMO (Craigh): I'm not finding anything on Google about it loading files to the desktop
BOB 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.
Lisa (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.
BOB Apparently he knows OF her at least
Craigh: sniffles
Lemon: How does he know that THEY know her?
BOB They are Elves, duh
BOB How many elves could there be?
Carissa (N'laea): (Oh! Hey, you're in Texas, Lemon. You must have met my friend there by now, right?? ;) )
Carissa (N'laea): it's a small world and all
Lisa (Indigo): think that only works with dwarves
BOB LOL Lisa
Carissa (N'laea): LOL
BOB 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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Uggggh, this ooc
Lisa (Indigo): you'll get it
testing (BOB testing story block entry)
Lorie (Licornah ): I don't know anyone in Philly
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I almost had it before the break lol
BOB does that look different to you?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes
Lisa (Indigo): testing yes
Lorie (Licornah ): Yes looks different
TMO (Craigh): you are still bold italiced to me
ok will have to try that, might be good for story chat blocks (BOB testing story block entry)
Carissa (N'laea): that's different and obvious now
Lisa (Indigo): nice
TMO (Craigh): oh, that. yes, this is MUCH different
To use the GM mode for story blocks and the OOC for normal typing (BOB testing story block entry)
BOB I will see how the chat formatting looks with that
BOB but carrying on with How many elves could there be?
BOB Lories does not know this, but the rest of you do, Dwarves a myth and Elves are legendary
BOB up until Branwyn settled with her friends
Lisa (Branwyn): Except we do know that neither is true
BOB true
Lisa (Branwyn): but yes that is the thought around
Carissa (N'laea): but Gerry was from way back when, were they still rare then?
Carissa (N'laea): for this specific area
BOB Elves more rare than Dwarves back then
Branwyn: Licornah, I am Branwyn. I apologize 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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is Craigh about to go into anaphylaxis or something? I'm worried
BOB Licornah has never heard of Drillian before
BOB Or The Mist
Lorie (Licornah ): but I have :: shudders ::
BOB grins
TMO (Craigh): no, he's not wheezing or anything, just not having a good time
Craigh: wipes his face with the tissue.
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
BOB 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 ::
BOB 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
BOB Ponders just how many fancy handkerchiefs Rae has stuffed in her.....
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
Carissa (Raelynn): (he ran off so he'll never know...)
TMO (Craigh): best not to ask these sorts of questions
Carissa (Raelynn): (lol)
Lemon (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?
Carissa (Raelynn): probably in some more herb, less clean version
TMO (Craigh): would you like a cattail root?
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 14]
BOB Do you think the Priests would allow people to develop a way to get healed without having to donate to the church?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can I find something around here to help with allergies?
BOB not right here in the courtyard but you know of some along the edge of the Valoris Wood
Carissa (Raelynn): no a little exposure overtime will help
Lorie (Licornah ): In my church, you adopt a pet :)
BOB smiles
Lorie (Licornah ): (err my character's)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How far is Valoris Wood?
BOB I think in Lorie's church too, and definitely in Springs
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, good either way Lorie
BOB Valoris is about 12 miles away
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ehhhhh, I'll wait and see how he does before suggesting it
BOB you are on the northern edge of Dragon Fen it is on the southern border
BOB and I hope Lisa and TMO and Carissa smile at that idea of Dragon Fen stretching from a southern border north
BOB you built that
Lisa (Branwyn): we did!
TMO (Craigh): on rock and roll!
BOB LOL
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
BOB anyone should be able to go to Records, and Images and bring up the Craniate Wastes map to see where everything is
BOB The Inn is in Hourglass
BOB but you are here with a slightly less strange elf and four cats
Carissa (Raelynn): slightly less than what? the other elves??
Craigh: the fog effect is neat, but a little overwhelming at times
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 a home 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
Carissa (Raelynn): (what kind of cats are they again?)
BOB We can set up a second map without it TMO
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): big
BOB large sand cat, smallish elven cat, a black panther, and a leopard
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.
Lemon (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.
Carissa (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
Carissa (N'laea): I do not know which way is easier, though
N'laea: I do not know which way is easier, though.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Omg, Carissa, so true. Cats 100% know I am allergic as soon as I walk in a room
Lisa (Branwyn): If Branwyn can have some concentration time with the crystal ball the odds will be pretty good for a successful landing
TMO (Craigh): they're exerting dominance over someone they know fears them
Carissa (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
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
BOB 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
Carissa (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
Lorie (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
BOB back
Lisa (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?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Carissa, when will you learn that science has no place here
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
Carissa (N'laea): :P
BOB 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 ::
Lorie (Licornah ): Nice to meet you, Bixi -- writing is important
Licornah : (ICC)
BOB Gnome, apparent spell caster
Craigh: waves
Craigh: Craigh, book-maker.
Lisa (Branwyn): but budding author is more important than priest illusionist :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Obviously
BOB I love that it is Branwyn, no title, and Bixi, ghost story writer, and Craigh, book maker
BOB We just happened to find you with cats on the Plane of Pandemonium and brought you here
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
Lisa (Indigo): didn't Bran say that Dragon Fen was hers?
Lisa (Indigo): oops
Lorie (Licornah ): (she pronounces it as Craaagggg)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Dang, Indigo trying to make us all look bad
N'laea: N'laea.
Licornah : Indigo... Knight Admiral? Oh my, warring is frequent?
TMO (Craigh): it's pronounced 'Kray' actually. just to be difficult. inspired by the Welsh
Raelynn: Raelynn, Priestess of Hanali.
Carissa (Raelynn): ('cause he kray-kray)
Indigo: Well we did have a civil war a few years ago, but not really?
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
BOB 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?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is there maybe a novel about gnome religion? I have a library card now.
Licornah : :: nods :: Nice to meet you Howard
Lisa (Branwyn): there's a book about everything
Raelynn: Um, Hanali is one of the triad? She's about beauty and love and all that.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But is it a novel? The ones that are written like nonfiction don't tend to hold my interest enough
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If there aren't, it's a million dollar idea.
Lisa (Branwyn): go for it!
Licornah : I see... :: thinks of the equivalent ::
Carissa (Raelynn): (maybe one of the comics?)
TMO (Craigh): Bob posted a link. there're fun characters in the Gnome section
BOB refocusing
BOB Branwyn has the guest house
BOB to do her research etc.
Lisa (Branwyn): ok
BOB Where are other people staying?
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
BOB going back to the Manor House? and or ?
Carissa (Raelynn): N'laea outside in the sun because why not. Rae would be happy with a big plush bed.
Carissa (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)
TMO (Craigh): dangit
Lisa (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
Lorie (Licornah ): I'm staying with the cats outside and communing with them
BOB 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?
Lisa (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. (Lemon)
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. (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
Carissa (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
Carissa (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
Carissa (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 anything 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 weird 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. (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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Do I have money I can pay Gerry with if I ask him for food?
BOB 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?
Lemon (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
Lisa (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
BOB (well DUH)
Branwyn: Powerful vampire mages
BOB (grins)
Branwyn: The Mist protects them
Licornah : Someone should do something about them
Lorie (Licornah ): :: looks at BOB knowingly ::
TMO (Craigh): HAH
BOB Looks at TMO
Craigh: Funny you should say that.
BOB 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.
BOB It is getting towards evening
BOB anyone who chooses to leave the Inn for Skull Church
BOB can go there for the night or over to Snee
BOB the rest can sleep here at the Inn tonight with stars, etc.
Lisa (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
TMO (Craigh): dangit
TMO (Craigh): Dangit Count: 3
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What would be the purpose of leaving?
TMO (Craigh): not being here
Lisa (Branwyn): Bob wants to make us sick
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No thanks, I'll take the inn
Lorie (Licornah ): (Oh no he doesn't, he wants to charm us all in with those #$@$@ vampires)
Lisa (Branwyn): we will all be sick soon enough
TMO (Craigh): oh, it's much to late to avoid that
Lisa (Branwyn): Do cats get Mist sick?
BOB chuckles just making sure after three days away if you want to visit or such with anyone
BOB but to you it does not seem three days
BOB 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.
Lisa (Branwyn): How come the Astral plane trip took 20 minutes and the Pandemonium trip took 3 days even though we never slept there?
BOB The Mysterious Outer Planes
Lemon (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
Lisa (Branwyn): It's a mystery. Really? lol
BOB chuckles there is a pattern but it will take you a while of experimenting and research to determine it
Lisa (Branwyn): if we come back from hell and a decade has passed I'll be pissed off :D
BOB At least you did not come back before you left
Lisa (Branwyn): that would be fun
Lisa (Branwyn): would we go insane if we saw our other selves?
BOB 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
BOB 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
TMO (Craigh): they're *all around you*!!!!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): TMO is working on it, don't worry
TMO (Craigh): (not my PC anymore)
Lisa (Branwyn): *those* vampires aren't close. We haven't told you about the vampires that are closer
TMO (Craigh): behind you!
BOB LOL
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): TMO's former self is working on it, don't worry
BOB AND so Lisa given the rules of the crystal ball, how are you looking for your Maya in Hiyal
TMO (Craigh): if the PCs ever choose to go after some vampires, they may be able to call on him
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm hoping he'll have it solved before we get there :P
Lisa (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. (Lemon)
Lisa (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
BOB ok
Lisa (Branwyn): anyone who doesn't want to take the risk doesn't have to try - totally understandable
BOB Explain that to everyone, what the risk is and we need to double check how much each weighs
Lisa (Branwyn): she'll memorize a couple feather fall spells but can't do anything for a low miss
BOB You can guestimate Rimal at 90 pounds
Lisa: Well Bob decides on the exact percentages based on how well he thinks I've tried to become familiar with the place to teleport
Carissa (Raelynn): (90 pounds is neither desert cat nor sand cat, you have lied to us)
BOB Large desert cat
BOB on the small size for a leopard
Carissa (Raelynn): (desert/sand cats don't get bigger than 7 lbs.! you have wrong species here ;) )
BOB chuckles
TMO (Craigh): MAGIC
Lisa: I'll cast and then roll a d100 too high and you land too low - like underground
BOB and Lorie welcome to our resident scientist
Lisa: too low and you land too high and take falling damage
User is back. (Lemon)
Lorie (Licornah ): :: smiles ::
BOB She seriously is our scientist
Lisa: yes
Carissa (Raelynn): scientist or stickler or both....?
BOB grins
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm fine with staying
BOB but Rimal does way in at 90 pounds plus who is going with weighs how much?
Lisa: 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.
TMO (Craigh): time to restart the campaign!!
BOB Ok so TMO gets to Ask Lorie how much she weighs
Carissa (Raelynn): Rae already asked to go if possible due to the who love/reunite the owner thing
TMO (Craigh): I missed that, Rae
Carissa (Raelynn): but also acknowledges the priority list
Lisa: we have Bran at 125 + 90 for cat in that trip
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm zero percent interested in a risk that could involve my tiny body falling from a great height
TMO (Craigh): weight limit is 250?
Carissa (Raelynn): you might just float
Lisa: too high is better - Bran can cast feather fall as we are falling to our deaths to stop it
Lisa: 550
TMO (Craigh): oh, MUCH better
BOB Raises an eyebrow, how much does TMO think Lorie weighs?
TMO (Craigh): I'm a guy. I don't do ladies' weights
BOB grins
Lisa: based on Carissa's elf weight thing I don't think they will weigh more than 100 lbs. each
Lemon (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
Carissa (Raelynn): looking it up, I'd say most average around 95-95 lbs.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol
Carissa (Raelynn): ....*85
BOB Really tight average
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Carissa (Raelynn): no clue for half-elves
Lorie (Licornah ): (these NPCs are way friendlier than I ever remember)
Lisa: they weigh as much as a desert cat
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, I Just assumed you meant most of them lie about it hahahaha
Lisa: lol
Carissa (Raelynn): I'd guess slightly heavier because human half
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL
Carissa (Raelynn): friendly is a nice change of pace, we've had (still have??) some frustrating ones
Lorie (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)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We murdered an annoying wizard so...
Lisa: you executed him
Lorie (Licornah ): (we need Marco and Mike here to talk to the NPCs... :: laughs to herself::)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It hasn't all been nice innkeepers who offer us free food
Carissa (Raelynn): well one of him
Lorie (Licornah ): (You murdered John's wizard? :: faints::)
TMO (Craigh): nonono - Bob's wizard
Lisa: yeah between Guy, Mike and Marco they will make all NPCs hate us :D
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The key is to ask their name
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That seems to work for me lol
Lorie (Licornah ): BOB played a wizard :: raises eyebrow :: )
TMO (Craigh): he plays everybody
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It was, in fact, the most annoying, most self-obsessed, most misogynistic wizard I have ever encountered.
Lorie (Licornah ): (They never played with a certain Vertere)
Lorie (Licornah ): (LOL)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Self-aggrandizing maybe a better word
BOB Wait till you hear the story about Skull Church and why the previous adventure was call Third Time is Tradition
BOB but for now you have some calculations for your morning trip
Lisa: let's not go there
BOB You have years to tell stories of the past years
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm going to go make some popcorn to have while I spectate the return of the cat
BOB tonight we want to settle in on being ready for the return
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The return of the half-ghost cat?
BOB Sounds like a best seller
Lorie (Licornah ): as long as it's not a lich, you're golden
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Exactly what I was thinking
BOB I do hope you are collecting all these potential titles
BOB should put them on Bixi's page
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have actual notes on paper
BOB nice
Carissa (Raelynn): but we can't read them
BOB sad but true
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's because Bixi hasn't had time to turn them into a story yet
Lisa: so Branwyn, cat, Licornah, Raelynn and Craigh can all go in one trip I think
Carissa (Raelynn): cat has a name
Lisa: does anyone else want to go or not want to go that is on the list?
BOB How much is Craigh?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ngl, some of these are incomprehensible at this point
Lisa: lol Carissa
TMO (Craigh): Craigh is probably no more than an elf
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): "Brushing + presents = leader of wolf pack?"
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have no idea what that means
Lisa: thought Craigh was 140-150
Craigh: hmm
TMO (Craigh): dangit (#4)
Lisa: lol
Carissa (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
BOB 140 is the average for a human
TMO (Craigh): dangit 5
Lisa: we dimension door'd with him and I thought it was around that
TMO (Craigh): might be
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Are you accounting for the missing arm?
Lisa: we just have to go before Talwin shows up
Lisa: he's a hefty man
Lisa: :D
BOB LOL
BOB and laughs with Lemon too
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Lisa: wait that won't work
Lisa: 2 trips
TMO (Craigh): I didn't put his height and weight in Klooge either
Lisa: no it does work - I hate maths
BOB Why 2 trips?
BOB list out each one
Lisa: cat and 2 elves at 90 a piece is 270
BOB ok
Lisa: bran at 125 and Craigh at 140 is 535
BOB you have 20 to spare
Lisa: I added an extra elf and thought I was too high
BOB You have feather fall for that
Carissa (Raelynn): Nah the other elf is staying behind
Lisa: sorry - we can do 2 trips if you want her. We would have had to is Bixi was coming
Carissa (Raelynn): (she'll hold on to the valuables while Rae goes on her trip)
User is back. (Lemon)
Lisa: if
Carissa (Raelynn): (no no, no reason for N’laea to go anywhere, and Rae only if there is room)
BOB and so the other bit to solve is which other spells to memorize
BOB and or anything misc. to take
Lisa: I'd like to look at the locket before we return it
Lisa: empty packs in case they give us presents for returning Rimal the cat
BOB and briefing Licornah perhaps more completely on what this trip is going to accomplish
BOB yes to empty packs
Lisa: we will have an extra 90 pounds to spare for the trip back
Lisa: we would like 90 lbs. of loot please!
BOB actually 110
Craigh: is happy he's invited along.
Lisa: yes
TMO (Craigh): dangit 6
TMO (Craigh): I'm getting help with his weight. He's 5'6 in height
Carissa (Raelynn): one day
BOB maybe TMO has hit upon it, if you dangit 8 times you have to edit the chat log
Carissa (Raelynn): and scrawny and armless, right? so probably closer to 130 lbs. or so
TMO (Craigh): I ain't sayin' anudder wurd
BOB LOL
BOB BUT I am 144 and 5 foot 6 (40+ less than the last time you saw me)
BOB TMO is just a giant and has no clue what normal people weigh
Branwyn: I really don't like my spell choices being broadcasted :)
TMO (Craigh): congrats!
TMO (Craigh): you are 10% correct
TMO (Craigh): 100%
Branwyn: lol
Carissa (Raelynn): I can't see your spell choices if they're showing up for you, so maybe just Bob sees them?
BOB I did not see her spell choices
Branwyn: you don't see me forgetting and memorizing spells?
BOB nope
Branwyn: Interesting
Carissa (Raelynn): nothing from the player end
Craigh: Disawareness
BOB HAH
Branwyn: not that it's such a big secret it's just strange
TMO (Craigh): can you view them in the character sheet?
BOB Lorie are you good with your spells?
Lorie (Licornah ): (I believe so)
Branwyn: yes I am changing a couple
Branwyn: I'm done
Lisa (Branwyn): dangit x2 for me?
BOB smiles
Lisa (Branwyn): eek - scrolling up that makes 7 actually
Branwyn: [CHECK] [DEX+1] (vs. Target 3) [SURPRISED! by 1] [d6+1 = 2]
TMO (Craigh): well, let's put it this way: in 8th grade I was probably 5'4-6, and 98 lbs.
Lisa (Branwyn): no clue what that was
BOB I did that
BOB just to test
Lisa (Branwyn): but Craigh is a man and so hopefully would have some muscle
TMO (Craigh): I wrestled in the <100lbs category. Placed 3rd. Out of 4. ;)
BOB Definitely
Carissa (Raelynn): a muscle
Craigh: Are we forgetting Craigh has a STR of 5?
TMO (Craigh): dangit 7
TMO (Craigh): I'm gonna be editing this thing, ain't I?
BOB It is 11 you want to click and do this now? or wait till next week?
Carissa (Raelynn): either or
TMO (Craigh): I have no plans.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have popcorn
BOB I think my plan for automating works decently we will see on tonight's log how well
BOB I have characters
BOB ready when you are
Lisa (Branwyn): teleport now and roleplay next week?
Lisa (Branwyn): see if we can roleplay next week? :)
Carissa (Raelynn): lol seems roleplay will be easier than OOC
BOB I think the teleport now is a good thing
TMO (Craigh): voooorp
Carissa (Raelynn): would bless help with it/benefit?
BOB then we can do a bit of roleplay and see where we get to
BOB from someone traveling along yes
Raelynn: welp then add that
BOB Bless is always a good thing
BOB how much of a help it actually is depends
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.
Lisa (Branwyn): how do you cast again?
Bless
Lisa (Branwyn): I remember nothing
Carissa (Raelynn): ....I don't know, lol
Carissa (Raelynn): because that apparently didn't quite work
Carissa (Raelynn): TMO is nicer than me
TMO (Craigh): Actions Tab
Lisa (Branwyn): don't hold back please
Johan: [INIT] [MOD:Read Magic] [d10+99 = 107]
Carissa (Raelynn): Uhhhh that is an odd roll there, Johan
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well that brought up my error box
Lorie (Licornah ): Please don't cast that again, BOB, it triggered like 10 errors on my screen LOL
Johan: [CAST] Monster Summoning I
Carissa (Raelynn): Yeah, if you hold back, then you don't give Lisa the challenge of typing the same thing as you but before you!
TMO (Craigh): you can cast spells on the Actions Tab, Mode Combat, Display Actions
BOB How about that one
Lorie (Licornah ): No errors
TMO (Craigh): drag the die to the chat window
Carissa (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
BOB You drag the spell to the character you want to cast it on
BOB on the combat 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
BOB and Johan has captivated Rae
Raelynn: Raelynn cast a spell NOT memorized.
Raelynn: [CAST] Bless
Lisa (Branwyn): I am not seeing how to do it
Carissa (Raelynn): HA he wishes! I need an APR roll for that
TMO (Craigh): Give me your Elfin Blessings!
Raelynn: One sec let me screenshot
BOB 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.
Lisa (Branwyn): ok got it - sorry
Branwyn: [CAST] Teleport
BOB try casting magic missile on Indigo for example
Carissa (Raelynn): I took a screenshot anyways
Lisa (Branwyn): d100 is how?
Johan: [CAST] Magic Missile [at Indigo]
Johan: [DAMAGE] Magic Missile [TYPE: force (3d4+3=11)] [3d4+3 = 11]
TMO (Craigh): Carissa takes fancier screenshots than I do.
Carissa (Raelynn): I forgot to circle the cast button :(
BOB but there are options
Branwyn: [d100 = 27]
BOB Rae can drag Bless onto Branwyn
Carissa (Raelynn): Ah I see your point. I forgot bless is specific, some aren't so it wouldn't matter as much
Lisa (Branwyn): yay!
Raelynn: Raelynn cast a spell NOT memorized.
BOB now try that roll again for Branwyn
Carissa (Raelynn): Hmm I dragged it, it yelled at me, but doesn't say if it blessed Bran
Raelynn: Raelynn cast a spell NOT memorized.
BOB curious at that if it applies automatically
Raelynn: Raelynn cast a spell NOT memorized.
Raelynn: [CAST] Bless [at Branwyn]
Lisa (Branwyn): I rolled a 27 - what level teleport are you judging me on?
Carissa (Raelynn): (okay so it does if in combat tracker but does NOT if just drags up to the top list of characters)
BOB Lisa please roll again to see if the Bless affects the roll automatically
Carissa (Raelynn): (and she apparently is also allergic to cats as it say she has a rash)
Lisa (Branwyn): oh no ...
Branwyn: [d100 = 33]
BOB and no it does not
TMO (Craigh): tragic
TMO (Craigh): is Branwyn under a Bless effect on her sheet?
Lisa (Branwyn): a 33 is a make on the Never Seen level so we should be okay
BOB no
Carissa (Raelynn): (not that I see)
BOB Yes the teleport works well
BOB and you are safe
BOB but the Bless spell did not place an effect on Branwyn's sheet
BOB apparently
BOB On the Combat Tracker you can go to Effects and see all the various effects placed by who
TMO (Craigh): I don't have an effects tab
BOB OK
Lisa (Branwyn): yes my effects for some reason are irritation and rash :)
TMO (Craigh): it does list them under each character
Lisa (Branwyn): and acquaintance
BOB BUT your group lands in a courtyard
Carissa (Raelynn): it looks like you can delete them, I just did for Rae
Carissa (Raelynn): oh wait not all of them never mind
Raelynn: [EFFECT] Bless; ATK: 1; SAVE: 1; CHECK: 1 [ = 6]
Effect ['Bless;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;CHECK: 1'] -> [to Raelynn]
Carissa (Raelynn): OOOOHHHH
Effect ['Bless;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;CHECK: 1'] -> [to Branwyn] [by Raelynn]
Carissa (Raelynn): Okay NOW it's there
Carissa (Raelynn): Lemme do a fancy screenshot again
Lisa (Branwyn): I see it
Youtargim [A Comm]: [Translation] Hello, How are you?
<font color="##000000">Hello, How are you?
[understood by: ]
Branwyn: startled
TMO (Craigh): yep, it's on her character now, but it specifies attack, save, check, not percentiles
Branwyn: Hello?
Youtargim [A Comm]: [Translation] Hello
<font color="##000000">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.
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 you
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
BOB The young man leaves you in the courtyard
TMO (Craigh): what did young man look like? human?
Raelynn: This place seems nice.
Raelynn: looks around
BOB 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.
BOB 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
BOB 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!
BOB 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.
BOB after a half hour or so
BOB 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
<font color="##000000">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
<font color="##000000">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 Rimal and also her.
Branwyn: Namsut helped with the description and I have a crystal ball I used to locate her.
Raelynn: points to Licornah
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
TMO (Craigh): (did we bring those? I missed that)
Lorie (Licornah ): (Oh dear... )
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
<font color="##000000">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 embellishments? 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.
Lemon (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
Lisa (Branwyn): saw
Maya: Warm smiles
Branwyn: What are Yak Men?
Maya: Thank you all very much for such valiant 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.
BOB Is this a good place to pause?
BOB you can formulate any other questions
BOB and wrap up this encounter next week
TMO (Craigh): I think so for me, unless someone else has something
BOB click back and do more at home?
Carissa (Raelynn): running out of steam and therefore ability to think of questions
Lisa (Branwyn): yes - I want to ask about the sphere of power quest
BOB sounds good
TMO (Craigh): I still have problems getting into character as Craigh
BOB we can start off next week with all of that
Lorie (Licornah ): (I've been up since 6:30 my time, so I get it)
Lisa: who doesn't want to go on a quest for a sphere of power
BOB exactly!
BOB and sorry Lorie
BOB go sleep
Lorie (Licornah ): No worries -- night all
