'LorieD' connected

GM: Hey there

Licornah : Evening - good update. No more error codes

GM: Excellent!

LorieD (Licornah ): (OOC) - sorry

GM: Grins, no worries we are learning

GM: and talked with Lisa and Carissa and they are both happy to see you posting on the site and doing the roleplaying

GM: so Thank You

Licornah : sure sure... will make it a habit going forward

GM: Yeah tonight is a lot of that,

GM: the goal is for you (Lorie) to learn more about Lisa, Carissa, Lemon, etc. as they have never really played with you

Licornah : timing for the trip with the kids is bad -- but exciting to see Alyssa play at MK

GM: and spending time with Licornah to interact with everyone else and build those ties

GM: and that is ok

GM: grins, it is what we do, we will be here every week, and hope that people can be here

Licornah : I'm still trying to figure out how to add her special abilities / spells to her sheet. I spent time in the Prayers and Pantheon to review those too

GM: Yes to that

GM: and then there are the spells that are not there etc

Licornah : :: nod :: I don't see it as a resource book to add from

GM: step by step we all make it work for us better

Licornah : I remember it being in the Access database though

GM: but you can copy and past in

Licornah : when you used to generate our spell lists :)

GM: yeap

LorieD: I thought I released my PC -- ugh, sorry

GM: Tonight I will post the chat with only the line breaks added

GM: then tomorrow morning I will run the automated updates

GM: and anyone after that can go back and move things from IC to OOC

GM: it is an easy edit

LorieD: :: nod :: that doesn't seem to be as large of a lift now?

GM: Yeah, Lisa was dealing with hundred+ pages of Word and doing it all by hand

LorieD: that's a nice to have... but huge lift

GM: now with the font color tags I can automate a good chunk

GM: and she is looking at doing the story versions to make it easier to see only the IC things

LorieD: :: nod :: I liked the blocking you did last week

LorieD: that was helpful

GM: thanks

GM: Tonight is a LOT of roleplay both with Maya and your group then we swap back to the Inn and do stuff there, then do book keeping and IC/OOC of finding out how to get to the next place for Cloak Return

LorieD: where is there more source data on Maya... is she essentially a rich old lady in a wheelchair ala Miss Marple?

GM: There is none so far, but yes

GM: She is a mage, in a wheel chair, and you have visited her in her home in Hiyal over in Al-Qadim

GM: Which you would not know of or where, and when you ask the others they will be telling you how they found an Ice Tower in Dragon Fen that started this adventure

LorieD: :: Nod :: No chance of a random dungeon here? :: laughs ::

GM: grins

GM: They have not been in a dungeon other than the catecombs under Skull Church in like a decade

LorieD: :)

GM: Hello Michael

LorieD: Evening

GM: remember do not grab a character yet Michael

GM: just chat away

Talwin: Oh crap. I selected my character. Do you want me to log out and log back in?

LorieD: Don't be me... right click and release it

GM: Not log out just release the character

LorieD: or remember the ALT+ENTER

mharmon1: Done :) Also you have no idea how exicted I am to finally play for hell sake. It's only a month into 2022 for petes sake

GM: chuckles

mharmon1: They tried to wrangle me in tonight, but I uh, said...no

mharmon1: lol

mharmon1: Outside counsel can have a turn

LorieD: Yeah... only 6 more months of my state audit. Including the Readiness Review.

GM: Have you read the updates Michael?

mharmon1: So, good to know, if running a vpn, won't let you in to Unity

LorieD: I hold my breath for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week

LorieD: LOL

mharmon1: And Lorie I so get your world. LOL

mharmon1: Bob, as a terrible player and person, I have not read anything other then my dissertation draft and about 2 million digized files about Asbestos/Talc

LorieD: LOL - yeah, outside / inside counsel wrangling is always a joy

mharmon1: Haha

GM: zero problems Michael

GM: just wanted to check on where to update you from

mharmon1: I figured better to be honest and admit my faults, then speak during an encounter and prove the point! :)

LorieD: Okay, so let me sum up...wait, no time. We split the party - no worries, it's going to go fine

LorieD: spliting the party is ALWAYS the best plan

LorieD: ALWAYS

mharmon1: Always a good start. Splitting up is always solid move

mharmon1: :)

LorieD: it's right up there with going into dark caves with no torches and wondering why you fall and die under a pile of rocks

GM: so Talwin is in the courtyard of the Inn, you are three days later from when you left to Pandemonium and Branwyn, Rae, Craigh, and the new Elf you met there have teleoprted away leaving you here with the other three cats you saved

GM: and if you read the IC page (link incoming) you will see what is happening with those cats now

GM: (LINK)

GM: and Lorie is never going to get over that trap of the rocks falling down on the group 20 years ago :P

LorieD: It feels like yesterday I watched a Vetere die... it was traumatizing

LorieD: :)

GM: chcukles

mharmon1: Wow

mharmon1: So much

mharmon1: :)

LorieD: It wasn't Robert, but ya know...

mharmon1: Also, Lorie, I've learned to treat this like Game of Thrones. Just accept eventually my guy will die, and I'll have a lot more fun. It works suprisnly well :)

LorieD: Oh... you have the John Anstett philosophy. That will work for you

LorieD: John used to have extra characters rolled up just in case...

GM: Stories are more important

mharmon1: I mean, I do try not to be an ass or do something purposefully stupid, but I try to hav

mharmon1: yes! That's it

mharmon1: Good way to put it bob :)

LorieD: I had a group playing 1e and the guy found a snake staff... at a critical moment he snapped it half in front of all of us. TPK

LorieD: (BOB -- Kevin -- "I hate snakes")

mharmon1: LOL

GM: grins

mharmon1: What was 1.0 like?

mharmon1: If you don't mind my asking

mharmon1: I know 2.0 Wish is the best thing in the world to hear people talk about it, but I just no so little about the different verisons

mharmon1: *Know

LorieD: :: ponders :: simple but complex. Having played and worked with Gary and the original creators, you feel his vision.

mharmon1: Also just accept that if I'm not at work or in school, I don't care about my spelling/grammer :)

LorieD: But, I am a 2e PO softy.

mharmon1: That's pretty awesome! :)

LorieD: I've tried 3, 4, and 5... 2e is where it's at

GM: 1/4 of the skills available 1/8 of the abilty to incorporate roleplay as written without a lot of GM fiat

LorieD: Yes, that's fair BOB

mharmon1: Then...yeah. I like 2.0 lol

LorieD: 3, 4, and 5 are trying to appeal to mobile gamers and adopt more technology... which I get, my 2e flushes out the stories better

mharmon1: I like to have the most options available with the most tools to enrich the experience. So i'm basically hearing that the other versions are simpler

mharmon1: with simpler rules

LorieD: :: nod ::

LorieD: I am just glad that we don't have as many rules lawyers in this group

mharmon1: Still want to try Call of Chthulu sometime, but I LOVE this game. So...bob don't change. LOL

LorieD: that is always a fun way to spend several hours -- hashing over a three word sentence

GM: Yes to :simplier: because "everyone should know how to swim, why make a character spend any skills on something outside of combat" type of things

mharmon1: Don't laugh Lorie. I've seen it

mharmon1: :)

LorieD: LOL CoC is easy... roll a character, one bad roll... you die

mharmon1: And where an oxford comma was important or not

mharmon1: I mean, you aren't wrong on CoC

mharmon1: But it's a different kind of setting I guess

LorieD: I had a group that I played with in parallel to BOB's -- there were two of them. It made my Sunday's triggering because the rules arguments broke up several good sessions

LorieD: It's like Paranoia but less humor

LorieD: or rather no humor

mharmon1: Oh, that's no fun :(

LorieD: I guess the Dark Setting would be a good fit

GM: Michael one of the things that I had contemplated but decided against for the Great Change Over was that the group enters Fantasy Grounds and you are playing the Traveler Science Fiction setting, and I say ... " Ok now that the group has finshing playing their RPG you are about to arrive at Planet X to deliver your trade goods"

mharmon1: I straight up told bob, if I'm not having fun, I have to take a break :)

mharmon1: LOLOLOL

mharmon1: Bob

mharmon1: haha

LorieD: :: laughs :: Always looking to find a way to involve Traveler :)

GM: then we would pick up playing a science fiction setting

LorieD: Rob and Michael would be proud of you :)

mharmon1: You never run, you could do Shadow Run pretty damn well. I'd bet a year of my savings

mharmon1: *Know, not run. LOL

LorieD: You need to go hang out with Marco, he lives and dies for Shadowrun

LorieD: I used to play SR in High School

LorieD: and at GenCon

mharmon1: Yeah...but Bob is patient and doesn't make me feel like an idiot. Props Bob :)

GM: warm smile

mharmon1: But yeah Lorie. It seems you've tried almost everything? :)

LorieD: I'm old

GM: HAH

LorieD: I hate Doctor Who

mharmon1: Hey bob, what's that saying?

LorieD: I know the saying... I'm still old

mharmon1: Hehe

GM: We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing

mharmon1: There it is

LorieD: I played Star Wars, Star Trek, Vampire, Mage, Werewolf, D&D, Paranoia, Shadowrun, and a few others... I was active in a Diplomacy forum for several years.

mharmon1: Bob's game came at the perfect time in my life. I needed the game more than I think anyone ever will know. I was doing nothing but work and school and no other outlet. I'm glad I was introduced to Lisa and then Bob and Co. :)

mharmon1: Oh dear god

mharmon1: That's a ton

mharmon1: I didn't even know half that stuff was tabletop?

LorieD: I miss Paranoia...

LorieD: we used to play games after D&D at BOBs on Saturdays

mharmon1: Jeeze, I just need to move to Bob's overpriced HOA and beg for him to do more stuff.

GM: We did that here Lorie, we called it Adventures in the Wastes

mharmon1: LOL BOB

GM: there is a page for that on the site

LorieD: Oh, mind the alligators and the potato trees

GM: we did it on Wednesday nights during the start of the plague

LorieD: His other place is where we used to play.

LorieD: Ahhh that's cool BOB... would have enjoyed that

GM: Michael played a bird? I think?

LorieD: especially as I was rehabbing my wrist

mharmon1: Oh god. I've forgoteen at this point

GM: everyone was a mouse, or bird

mharmon1: :)

GM: and they had to go deal with bully rats that killed the mouse wizard

GM: was a lot of fun

mharmon1: Pff. Jeeze. You have such a good memory bob :)

LorieD: You could have made it a LARP and visited the canals :: laughs ::

GM: grins

mharmon1: I'll pass....

LorieD: Was it the first year we went to GenCon that Claudia Christian LARPed with the vampires?

GM: wait till you see the FB live feed from my new Submarine

mharmon1: Wait...what?

GM: not sure Lorie, I was not there with you

mharmon1: You could afford a sub?

mharmon1: What the hell?

LorieD: Ahh, I think it was the year I went with Jeff and SPC

'MadamePsychosis' connected

GM: chuckles Michael, I have an underwater drone, a submarine, with camera lights, grasping hand etc.

GM: and Hello Lisa

mharmon1: Oh thank god

GM: is a new thing for the library

GM: going to do some fun programs

LorieD: :: laughs :: BOB has all sorts of things in his pond

LorieD: Evening Lisa

mharmon1: I was about to say, I'm in the wrong field...also was it like a soviet era diesel which is the only thing I think people could afford

GM: I did a test in the lake out back, had a school of fish swim back

MadamePsychosis: Hello! :-)

mharmon1: Will you share your link sometime for that Bob?

mharmon1: I'd love to see it :)

GM: I will when I record it

mharmon1: Also Hi LIsa! I'm so excited to see you again :)

LorieD: Can you add Baby Shark as the backing music?

mharmon1: Sorry it has been hell to get int the last couple weeks

mharmon1: ALSO NO

mharmon1: No more of that damn song

GM: HAH

LorieD: TMac will sing along

LorieD: I need a break from Bruno LOL

MadamePsychosis: I don't think that song is that annoying

LorieD: I like the EDM mix

MadamePsychosis: Did you change the background color to green?

GM: Yes thank you for noticing Lisa

GM: grins

MadamePsychosis: It's nice

GM: I am testing the idea of different backgrounds for different story arcs

mharmon1: Immeserion is cool

mharmon1: And Lisa, I'ts pretty good song actually. It's when you 5 year old niece (2nd cousin actually) plays it on repeat for about 8 hours while I am babysitting where I begin losing my mind :)

MadamePsychosis: lol

LorieD: I'm a girl scout, I've been singing baby shark for decades

mharmon1: :D

LorieD: (remember I'm old) :)

GM: LOL

mharmon1: (Wait, that was an actual song before this craze?)

LorieD: they don't talk about the shark attack and first aid

mharmon1: (I had no idea!)

LorieD: Ummm... yes

mharmon1: LOL

LorieD: pre-backing vocals

LorieD: and no EDM remix

mharmon1: I'd never heard it before! :) Cool! I learned something new haha

LorieD: just plain old sharks... and they attack the swimmer and you need first aid, and almost die but heaven sends you back and then you end up in the other place

LorieD: You need summer camp :)

LorieD: ha ha ha

LorieD: j/k

mharmon1: I got my eagle scout before they had all their lawsuites. I heard lots of interesting songs let me tell you, but never Baby Shark!

mharmon1: haha

GM: I think that Michael has his own summer camp out there in the hills where he goes camping

mharmon1: And yes Bob. I do now haha

mharmon1: I bring an electric generator so I can play the game

mharmon1: And Sattelite internet

LorieD: You are committed

'seyfert' connected

GM: Hey there Carissa

mharmon1: Hi Carissa!

LorieD: Evening Carissa

seyfert: Hello!

MadamePsychosis: Hi Carissa!

mharmon1: That's who seyfert is! Everytime I log in for a quick game online and see that name i'm so confused because I couldn't figure out which friend. I forgot the name! Woo, one mystery solved! Sorry Carissa I forgot haha

GM: I have the scripts that change seyfert to Carissa for the chat logs

mharmon1: It's also her Steam gaming name :)

mharmon1: So when I'm online and see that she's online, I always am trying to figue out which friend popped up haha

Raelynn: All good. I didn't know when doing log-in name that it'd show this one, lol

seyfert (Carissa): Oops. One day I'll get chat.

GM: and now we get to tease Carissa about that

GM: grins

seyfert (Carissa): If it helps, Seyfert is named after seyfert galaxies cause, you know, science and things.

LorieD: yeah science1

LorieD: :D

seyfert (Carissa): :)

GM: but tonight is Carissa, Lisa, Michael and Lorie learning each other as Players while the characters work on completing the meeting with Maya and then at the Inn with the Cats

GM: yes Lorie Carissa is our local Scientist

mharmon1: I am henceforth Castra, the Roman term for Fort. You know, for Strategic Security ;)

mharmon1: But Seriously, Carissa does some cool shit

LorieD: Oop - FYI BOB, Script error when you pull up the combat tracker still

GM: DOH

seyfert (Carissa): lol Michael

GM: BUT I have had it up all the time

LorieD: it's a LUA error, so something just isn't pointing to the right thing

Lemon: I promise I'm not a high lemon. Not my thing. :P

seyfert (Carissa): lmao

'Master TMO' connected

GM: Hello TMO

mharmon1: Hi TMO!

MadamePsychosis: Hi TMO :)

LorieD (Licornah ): Evening TMO :)

Lemon: Hello T-M-O. You're dynamite.

seyfert (Carissa): Hi TMO!

Master TMO: evening all. sorry for being late. still have work laptop open in front of me wating on an update, so keyboard is off to one side.

mharmon1: I sure as hell can't say a damn word TMO. At least you are here :)

GM: smiles

GM: so as everyone is in now

Master TMO: (finally!)

GM: we are starting with the group with Maya

mharmon1: (Anything I can help with for Maya?)

GM: not really Michael

mharmon1: (OK. Just let me know :) )

Raelynn: finishes speaking

GM: but hang out becasue we are coming back to you at the Inn later on

MadamePsychosis: You were too heavy to teleport we left you at the inn

mharmon1: (Is that a fat reference :) )

GM: do you want me to copy and paste that Carissa?

Raelynn: (up to you)

mharmon1: (Talwin is big boned :) )

seyfert (Raelynn): (up to you)

MadamePsychosis: It's a plate armor Talwin or take naked Talwin reference

Master TMO: ok, got work response, nothing I can do with it until monday, so keyboard is now on desk (behind my plate)

mharmon1: LOL

GM: "But there must be more to your story," said Maya, insistent. "So embellishments," replied Raelynn, nodding. She paused, before she corrected herself, "Well, details?" As Maya looked on, expectantly, Raelynn continued, "Hmm, okay..." "So first we had to figure out WHERE it was Rimal ran of to, right? So after you two left, we found the pool you spoke of and looked in it. It was grim," said Raelynn, shivering slightly. "Some bodies hanging off a bridge, a ceaseless wind, a river making everything around it wet, some dwarves hauling who knows what! And darkness everywhere! So, um, yes, more than just simply picking out what earrings to wear for the morning." "Which you picked out quite a beautiful pair this morning!" said Raelynn in compliment, briefly distracted, before she continued, "But anyways, Branwyn knows a few things more than most of us, and clearly we needed a plan. So we made some cards to communicate with each other, and some harnesses so no one would blow away, but we needed to find where Rimal was since that place looked like a big place with lots of hiding spots. Oh, and earplugs! Wind like that would drive anything crazy." "After we made our preparations, Branwyn brought us back to that spot so she could scry where Rimal was hiding out. These two, BIG snakes tried to sneak up on us by the river bank, but Bixi," Raelynn looked around, remembered the gnome wasn't there, and shrugged. "Well she's not here not, she decided to stay back at the inn, but she charmed them so they'd leave us alone. But it didn't matter because Branwyn brought us back again because, well, it's really hard to communicate when you can't hear, and none of us can read lips or sign hands, and while we did make cards, they were pretty basic." "Apparently Branwyn saw Rimal tumbling around, and some dark figure, but couldn't tell much else. I DID say it was really dark there, right? And windy? Anyways, it was enough that we feared Rimal was in trouble so, once we knew we were all ready again, Branwyn managed to bring us to that exact spot! Which was apparently a tower? I think?" "I don't know HOW Rimal got there, or anything, you'll have to ask Licornah, who we've never met before Pandemonium, but they were in that tower, and those evil dwarves were coming after us, so we had to get out of there. I mean, there wasn't a reason to stay and fight. Make love, not war! Although we did have to fight some of them. We decided to leave before more came, so we grabbed Rimal, and convinced Licornah to come, too," Raelynn lowered her voice some, whispering, "Who wants to be left behind in a dark, dank place anyways? It'll ruin your complexion." Back to normal tone, she continued, "And brought her plus the other cats back home, to the Inn that Namsut went to before." "And then we, um, came here. That's also from Branwyn. Mage magic and such," finished up Raelynn, waving her hand airily above her. "Did I forget anything?"

seyfert (Raelynn): he's big plated

Master TMO: size does matter

mharmon1: oh god bob

mharmon1: LOL TMO

MadamePsychosis: I didn't think you liked it the last time we stripped him down

mharmon1: Actually thought it was hilarious. Had to go looking for clothes :)

mharmon1: Sucked to lose the armro, but holy crap I forget how hard he hits

Branwyn: I think you covered it very nicely Raelynn. Thank you

Craigh: nods

GM: and Licornah can now add her ideas

Raelynn: beams

Licornah : :: pauses to ensure others aren't speaking ::

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): and let the zip files begin - when I took over my PC to speak?

GM: (Ouch sorry Lisa)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): just keep going - only said since I could tell when it happened

GM: and Licornah is telling her story

LorieD (Licornah ): (blah, blah, blah, prattle, prattle, prattle)

GM: nope

Master TMO (Craigh): nice try

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): we would like to hear please

Master TMO (Craigh): spill the juicy deets!

GM: grins you have to do a better introduction than that, so that Maya, a Princess in Hiyal learns who you are and why/if she should reward you

Licornah : :: nods and ensures no one else is speaking ::

Licornah : I am Licornah, priestess of Lurue. I was dispatched by the Silvermaiden to protect Rimal. I was told that there was a clear and present danger. I was to use my best abilities to keep him safe and communicate. The other cats with him were a bit "elusive" about why they followed, but they were happy to be there. We were avoiding the duerger, err, umm, dark dwarves who were mining nearby.

mharmon1: (Nice!)

Master TMO (Craigh): does Craigh have any clue who Lurue is?

Licornah : Rimal and I had a few conversations and I'm afraid there weren't a lot of stories on where he had wandered off to prior to me finding Pandemonium.

Maya: That is interesting, you think that Rimal made friends?

Licornah : :: ponders :: friends is an interesting theory, I'd consider them closer to followers

Maya Maya chuckles

Maya: That sounds like Rimal taking charge

Licornah : Rimal is a faithful creature. I was honored to have made his acquaintance. I am happy to have his story to share with those in my order

Maya: Namsut and him have a love hate relationship

Maya: What order is that ?

Licornah : :: looks at Namsut and then at Rimal and wonders ::

Licornah : :: furrows brows :: of Lurue?

GM: Namsut is in the fountain, a Marid immersed into the water un-visible

mharmon1: (What about Hate-Hate Relationships?) ;)

GM: What is Lurie?

Licornah : Lurue, the priestess of Unicorns and beasts.

Licornah : She's not well known in these parts I'm coming to discover

GM: Unicorns? I thought they were semi-extinct?

GM: Have you actually seen one?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Maya or GM asking?

GM: DOH

LorieD (Licornah ): (It's BOB torturing Lorie, don't worry)

Maya: Unicorns? I thought they were semi-extinct?

Maya: Have you actually seen one?

mharmon1: (Thank you Lisa. I was so confused)

Licornah : Umm, well, no, but my brother has. He's a Knight of Lurue.

Licornah : And there is a rumor those foul creatures in Thay keep black ones as beasts of burden

Maya: Thay? is that a place or a person?

Licornah : Thay is a place. Run by the Red Wizards.

Maya: I suppose you must be proud of your brother for being a knight

Licornah : Oh yes... it's a huge honor.

Maya: looks over at Branwyn and Craigh, what do you think about the people in Thay?

Craigh: I've never heard of it.

Branwyn: I have never been there or know where it is myself

Licornah : :: makes mental note of their responses ::

Youtargim: Neither have I Princess

Branwyn: When Indigo said he was a knight you asked him if we had many wars. Do you people have many wars Licornah?

Youtargim: Where would this place be?

LorieD (Licornah ): (OOC: What do I know about the place where I am relative to Moonspring?)

mharmon1: (Say the free cities. Talwin might know you :) )

mharmon1: (City States where armies are Mercenary Companies. You could be princess of one of the lager cities)

mharmon1: (Vying for control of them all!)

mharmon1: (Sorry, I get carried away)

GM: Licornah would not know yet without more conversations to figure out potential landmarks in common

Master TMO (Craigh): (not sure how it fits into Bob's world, but Thay is in the Forgotten Realms game world)

LorieD (Licornah ): (Ahhh...someone is getting warmer TMO but BOB's world has RW of Thay)

Master TMO (Craigh): so my assumption oocly is that this is not Licornah's world

mharmon1: (So much leeway. You got this! Mayke it EPIC)

mharmon1: (Make)

Licornah : :: ponders :: I'm from the north -- near Silvermoon

Licornah : Perhaps you know Mileikki?

Maya: Is that a Kingdom?

GM: I will give Branwyn an Intuition check at that name

Licornah : Silvermoon? Yes

Maya: Mileikki? is that a neighboring Kingdome to Silvermoon?

Licornah : Silvermoon is a very large city

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): INU is under WIS?

Maya: Yes

Licornah : Mileikki is another deity

Branwyn: [CHECK] Wisdom [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 1] [d20-1 = 14]

Licornah : (sighs, realizing how far from home she is)

Branwyn: shakes her head as if Licornah is speaking another language

Raelynn: (religion check?)

Licornah : :: ponders :: Perhaps you know Mystara?

Whisper recipient not found.

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

GM: Yes to Carissa

seyfert (Raelynn): (okay but if it fails, just know it's my third time rolling these last two sessions :P)

Raelynn: [SKILL] Religion, Elven [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 18]

seyfert (Raelynn): (.........seriously though, I rolled the other sessions so NOW it fails, ugh)

GM: Rae can say that Mileikki is not an Elven goddess

seyfert (Raelynn): (what about Mystara?)

GM: No clue what that word is

Raelynn: Mmmm, Mileikki isn't an Elven Goddess, is she.

GM: What religion is Craigh?

Licornah : :: furrows brow :: Welll... not entirely, she welcomes all who would follow her teaching.

Master TMO (Craigh): .... ummm....

Master TMO (Craigh): Mystara is another D&D setting, btw

Master TMO (Craigh): the default setting for "Basic" D&D

LorieD (Licornah ): (Mystara is Forgotten Realms)

LorieD (Licornah ): (she was "lost " during the Time of Troubles)

Master TMO (Craigh): I hadn't found a reference to that yet. Never played FR myself

LorieD (Licornah ): (see Elminster)

Raelynn: Oh, that's fair. I just never heard of her so I know she's not Elven.

Licornah : :: shrugs :: Okay... as you wish

Master TMO (Craigh): Greek, Suomi, and ... ? (what was the third option?)

GM: Kayugan

Master TMO (Craigh): thanks - could only remember it started with K

Master TMO (Craigh): let's say Greek, because I actually know something about it, but not highly devout

GM: Ok

LorieD (Licornah ): (My first character was Greek)

GM: so then Mileikki has no memory for you

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): You will have something in common with Tiberius

Master TMO (Craigh): does Greek make sense for southern small kingdoms Bob?

Maya: So it seems that you are a unique piece of the puzzle LIcornah

GM: sure

Licornah : Oh, I don't know about that... I'm just a farmer's daughter who is a faithful following of Lurue.

GM: small renegade church makes sense for Craigh

Maya: So many wish to escape farming

Maya: I have always heard that life is hard

Master TMO (Craigh): what does small renegade church mean?

Master TMO (Craigh): no set religion or deity?

Branwyn: It cannot be much harder than for those that work in the kilns here. Manual labor is hard for everyone that must do it I imagine

LorieD (Licornah ): (OOC, my deity doesn't have a formal church or temple)

GM: The Greek Church is persecuted in Drillian and the Small Kingdoms as it is a group "infiltrating" from Terraguard

Licornah : My farmers gave us a good life

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): at the kilns - I hope no one works inside a kiln

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol)

Maya: The kilns do burn all day

Maya: and the leather workers with their vats and fumes

Branwyn: nods

Bixi Fizzlebang: afk a few

Lemon: fudge, thought I was still on lemon

Maya: I wonder why Rimal felt drawn to you for help when he was lost in Pandemonium

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

Licornah : I supposed it's the fact I could speak to him and help keep him safe?

'mharmon1' disconnected

LorieD (Licornah ): (suppose not supposed)

Maya Looks at Licornah speculatively

Maya: You always speak with cats?

Maya: Is that an Elven thing?

Licornah : I speak with animals in general.

Maya Looking at Raelynn

Licornah : :: ponders :: I'm not sure... many in my order speak to animals

Licornah : we seek to keep them and those in need safe

Maya: Perhaps I should have an Elf on my staff to help translate,

Raelynn: I can speak to them with magic, but N'laea can do it without magic. I guess it's an elven thing? But Bixi can, too, and she's a gnome...

Maya looks over at Youtagrim

Youtargim: Laughs

Youtargim: I will always learn another language as you wish Princess

Raelynn: Oh! You like learning languages?

Youtargim: I do not speak gnome... yet

Youtargim: Nor Elven

Raelynn: You sound just like N'laea except she can now speak Gnome.

Youtargim: I have concentrated on the Human languages

Raelynn: opens mouth then closes it

Youtargim: and those of the giants of the northern deserts

Raelynn: Umm, are you human?

Youtargim: Certainly

'mharmon1' connected

Youtargim [A Comm]: [Translation] Certainly

Certainly

[understood by: ]

Raelynn: Oh, okay. It just the way you said that....

Youtargim [E Comm]: [Translation] Certainly

Certainly

[understood by: ]

Youtargim: How many human languages do you understand?

Raelynn: Me? Umm, just the one we're speaking. N'laea's the one who likes learning langauges, not me.

Maya: I wonder if you could learn to speak Cat

Raelynn: And Elven but Elven isn't Elven.

Raelynn: *human

Youtargim: How many languaes do cats have?

Youtargim looks at Licornah

mharmon1: (Yowl)

Licornah : I know Rimal speaks differently than Nightshade. Chocolate and Brynce seem to understand Rimal without issue

Maya: This gnome you mention, she is not here with you, is something wrong with her?>

Raelynn: No, she just decided to stay at the inn. Only some of us could come.

Maya: Interesting

Licornah : so I don't know a number, I just know what I experienced.

Maya: that is too bad for her, I would like to thank her for helping rescue Rimal

Raelynn: We can pass it on for you!

Youtargim: Facinating, I wonder if there are as many cat tongues as there are human ones

Youtargim: Is like learnign to listen to the wind while sailing

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

Lemon: Tell her you can bring something back to me!

Youtargim cocks his head

Youtargim: I hear someone at the gate, I will be right back

GM: He walks away

GM: and I will be right back as you discuss between your selves how to continue the conversation

GM: brb

Raelynn: whispers

Raelynn: I don't think he's human.

Branwyn: Of course he is. Why do you think he is not?

LorieD (Licornah ): Is it a/ action?

seyfert (Raelynn): (ctrl key for actions)

Licornah : nods in aggreement with Raelynn

Raelynn: I just don't think he was being honest is all.

LorieD (Licornah ): (ugh my typing is horrid this evening)

Master TMO (Craigh): what are we trying to gain from this conversation?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Does Licornah still have the locket? we need to give it to Maya I think anyway

Raelynn: I mean, he talked like N'laea does with "human this" and "human that" so it was just weird for him to refer to humans that way.

LorieD (Licornah ): (Treasure @TMO)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I want to ask about the sphere of power quest before we leave

LorieD (Licornah ): (Accolades)

seyfert (Raelynn): (go for it)

LorieD (Licornah ): (Yes on locket, still with her)

Craigh: If he deals with many non-human languages, he could classify 'human' languages together.

Lemon: Idk, if I was an actual human in this world and I only knew human languages, I would probably express it that way?

Raelynn: I suppose....

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): he's standing in front of 2 non-humans and has a marid in a pool so maybe he thinks about who people are

Lemon: I mean still interrogate him or whatever

seyfert (Raelynn): (lmao good point)

Raelynn: Um, anyways, do we have anything else we need to do here?

Branwyn: Licornah needs to return the locket to Princess Maya

LorieD (Licornah ): I don't have to -- you want me to :)

Branwyn: looks over at Licornah

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): yes and we said we would get the cat and locket so if we know you have it Branwyn at least will make sure it gets back to its owner

LorieD (Licornah ): (That was a Lorie versus IC comment)

GM: back

GM: So Branwyn has questions

GM: ask away?

Branwyn: Princess Maya, when we took a look at the scrolls in the tower, we found one describing a quest for the Sphere of Power. Is that still an active quest, do you know?

Maya: Ahh yes, that is something that would be very good for a brave group of adventurers to go pursue

Branwyn: What kind of place is Bralizzar?

Maya: The Sphere of Power could be very valuable

Maya: I am not certain where or what Bralizzar is

Maya: It may be a place, it might be a person

Licornah : Can I do a knowledge check for Bralizzar?

Branwyn: The scroll says that is where the 5 gold cubes take you

Branwyn: It continues to implore that adventurers come to Bralizzar to undertake a quest to stop the Evil One from breaching his bonds. Place the 5 gold cubes in a particular pentagram arranged in a specific order to create a gateway.

GM: yes to Lorie

Maya: Yes that is true Branwyn

Branwyn: I suppose I will need to do some research.

Lemon: Isn't it always a pentagram?

Branwyn: smiles

Maya: But that does not tell me if it is a place or a person that will send someone on a further quest

Licornah : [TOWER] [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 16] [d20 = 2]

Branwyn: Good point

Branwyn: But before we go back home, I believe Licornah wishes to return the locket that Rimal had when he had run away

GM: No to Lorie, does not bring to mind any thing

Branwyn: coughs slightly

Licornah : (looks at Branwyn) I believe she means she wishes for me to return it. Rimal never mentioned it belonged to you -- I thought it was Rimal's

Maya: Branwyn, if you are to undertake that quest to find Martek's Sphere of Power then you will need someone to help you.

Raelynn: Um, well then you should return it to Rimal, right? You made at deal with N'laea for returning with us - to return the locket.

Maya Maya looks at Licornah

Licornah : stays silent

Branwyn: I would be happy to return you to Pandemonium if you so desire

Raelynn: Unless your goddess is one who takes the belongings of others, I doubt she'd look favorably upon it.

Licornah : :: turns to Rimal and asks for input ::

GM: Rimal is curled up on Maya's lap purring contently

Licornah : hands Maya the locket

Licornah : Please keep Rimal safe

Maya smiles

Master TMO (Craigh): I hate that I just can never think of anything to say as Craigh.. he's supposed to be talkative and chatty, and I am drawing a complete blank...

Maya Takes the locket and fastens it on Rimal's neck

Maya: Thank you

Maya: This is how I am supposed to be able to track him

Maya: When he does not lose it

Craigh: Or give it away?

Branwyn: Yes. Thank you.

seyfert (Raelynn): (magical GPS)

Maya: Or run off to another Plane where it does not work

Maya: He has dropped it before when he does not want to be found

Maya: I will need to look into a better clasp he can not escape

GM: Rimal purrs louder and rolls over smuggly

GM: Rimal purrs louder and rolls over smuggly

Maya: I am very grateful that you are here

Maya: thank you for all the effort you have done

Maya: You are going in search of Martek's Sphere of Power?

Branwyn: Not for a while. We have some other items that need to be returned first. Who were you thinking of who could help us with the shpere though?

Maya: Youtagrim here will accompany you, he knows the languages of the dervishes and can help you find a path through the desert

Branwyn: thinks - we are certainly returning a lot if items right now

Maya: You will have to find the Star Gems to get to the Sphere of Power

Master TMO (Craigh): hopefully there aren't any late fees

Maya: and I have no better assistance than my young translator for you

Youtargim: I will be glad to... assist

Youtargim looks at the group with new interest

Youtargim: We will be sailing there?

Raelynn: Oh! You're willing to send away your assistence?

Raelynn: Don't you need him for translating things?

Youtargim: YEs

Maya: Yes

Branwyn: Thank you! That would be wonderful! We will contact you after we have returned from an elven plane and then hell of course.

Maya: But if you are going into the deep desert in search of the tomb then he will be very helpful for you

Maya: OH not at all,

Maya: I insist

Lemon: Idk, he seems pretty shady

Raelynn: Oh, that's true. But we're not going yet. Don't you need him in the meantime? Although he could learn languages in that time...

Maya: Youtargim, you will accompany my new friends, you will assist them in their travels

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): so paranoid - he is a nice NPC :)

seyfert (Raelynn): (better than some other NPCs)

Lemon: so far, anyway

Maya: When you are happy that you have helped them as much as possible then you will return to tell me the tale

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol, you needed more time with Sundope)

Youtargim: looks at Rae speculatively

Youtargim She could make me happy

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol Carissa

Youtargim: I will be cautiously optomistic that I will be able to help you on your travels to.....?

Youtargim: You said an Elven plane? and to Hell?

Youtargim thinking "of course"

Branwyn: Those are the next two stops, yes

Raelynn: That we know of, but who knows where else we might end up going....

Lemon: See!? He's a total creeper!

Branwyn: smiles at Raelynn

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol Lemon

seyfert (Raelynn): (Is he? Or did he just notice where she keeps all her handkerchiefs?)

Youtargim: Prior to my service to the Princess I sailed with several crews so it will be intersting to travel with you and see how you manage things

Lemon: Isn't it the same thing?

seyfert (Raelynn): (lmao)

seyfert (Raelynn): (I'd say yes unless that's what she wanted)

Lemon: I mean assuming you don't store them on your face, then we just 100% had a "my face is up here" moment

GM: Attention? yes that is what Raelynn wants

seyfert (Raelynn): (I feel like you can't be a priestess of love and beauty and NOT want attention)

Lemon: love and beauty isn't the same thing as being ogled!

GM: warm smile then she will have to teach him the difference

Craigh: Miss Maya, do you have any advice for us and traveling the planes?

Maya: I would say be certain you know where you are going, as I was not

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): so when I said we could take 90-110 lbs of loot back home, I wasn't thinking of a person

Lemon: I mean, that's not really her job. Smash the patriarchy!

Licornah : ponders what Maya means

seyfert (Raelynn): (lmao, I figured it was possible as soon as he described him)

GM: Bows

LorieD (Licornah ): (Is this a Love or Missed Connection?)

seyfert (Raelynn): (and true, but Rae is okay with it, as in my mind she does actually dress to be noticed and such)

seyfert (Raelynn): (but if it was N'laea, she'd stab him :) )

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): maybe she will fall for his charms

Lemon: Bixi might have Things To Say about this later.

Maya: I do have a question about that Mist of yours

Maya: it almost trapped us

seyfert (Raelynn): (haha that's fine and maybe)

Maya: We would have died

Maya: well I would have most likely and I would have lost my love

Maya reaches down to stroke the water of the fountain

Master TMO (Craigh): watches the water curiously for any reaction

Craigh: watches the water curiously for any reaction

Maya: What is it and how does it seem to prevent magic from working?

Branwyn: I do not believe the Mist would have killed you. It would have made you sick and made teleportation impossible

User has gone AFK. (Master TMO)

GM: A wave of water comes up to envelop Maya's hand

Maya: It was terrible for Namsut

Branwyn: It makes some magic impossible. Not only teleportation but any divination magic is useless, but other magic is effective

Maya: and I felt a need to flee

Raelynn: clearly happy at the display of affection

Branwyn: I am sorry for that. I thought the most terrible thing for Namsut was her loss of you though

seyfert (Raelynn): (apparently she also approves of PDA)

Maya: Will that infect the entire world do you think?

Maya: How do you live with it?

Maya: Why?

Lemon: I mean nothing wrong with some CONSENSUAL pda.

GM: Michael you still with us right? we are going to jump back to the Inn and Talwin, Bixi and N'alea soon

Branwyn: It is home and so I suppose I am used to it. But now I know the source of the Mist more clearly and the fact that it is spreading, I am more disturbed at its existence than I was as a child for instance.

seyfert (Raelynn): (and Howard)

Maya: To grow up in such a place must be agonizing

Branwyn: Perhaps we shall do something about it one of these days

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): and Indigo

seyfert (Raelynn): (Oh dang you're right, I forgot he didn't come. Sorry Indigo!)

Branwyn: smiles

GM: Does that cause Licornah to ask any questions about The Mist or other things?

Branwyn: It is simply what you know and if you know nothing else, there is no pain in it

seyfert (Raelynn): (there, it's a "major" change to the page now)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): very admiral of you :)

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol nice!)

GM: HAH

Licornah : I continue to make note of their comments about the Mist but says nothing -- dreads hearing the V word

Branwyn: But we are very glad you are all home now safe and sound.

Maya: I will be better soon I hope

Maya: and able to summon my spells again

Raelynn: You're with your love. You're already halfway there!

Maya: I wonder if it is a lingering effect of your Mist preventing me from reaching out

Branwyn: I hope so as well. Please let us know if you are ever in need of us. It would be my pleasure to visit or help you again.

Maya: If I'd known I loved her things might have been very different

Branwyn: frowns

Raelynn: Love makes you do funny things, whether you recognize it or not.

Branwyn: Mist sickness should be over in a few weeks so if that is a cause then you should be fine soon

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): sorry 2 conversations going at once!

Maya: I would have stayed (If I'd known I loved her) Wouldn't make my greatest mistake (If I'd known I loved her) Wouldn't have my heart go and break (If I'd known I loved her) Night after night Like I can't ever escape, no (If I'd known I loved her) What if I'd known (If I'd known I loved her) What if I'd known (If I'd known I loved her) What if I'd known Would I be so lonely If I'd known I loved her

seyfert (Raelynn): (all good! easy enough to follow both still)

Licornah : smiles

mharmon1: (LINK)

Maya: I will reach out in some way to you if it is possible

GM: LOL Michael

mharmon1: :D

GM: (LINK)

seyfert (Raelynn): (hmm nope won't let me click it)

Branwyn: Namsut knows the Inn out of the Mist. That is the best way

mharmon1: (Oh no! I can see my link, but not yours :( )

Maya: You will treat Youtagim with the respect he earns

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): that's what we should rename it

seyfert (Raelynn): (I approve)

Branwyn: Of course

seyfert (Raelynn): (or would it be Inn And Out Of The Mist?)

GM: Nice Michael

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Yes!

seyfert (Raelynn): (Perfect)

Youtargim: I will pack my bag, I will be right back

GM: AND Scene

Raelynn: Umm, don't make it too heavy!

GM: and back to the Inn

mharmon1: WHEW

GM: you have three cats, in the courtyard

seyfert (N'laea): (and a mysterious voice? I couldn't tell if it was a cat or from some unrevealed source)

GM: While Rimal was off to Hiyal with Branwyn, Licornah, Raelynn, and Craigh, the others were left at the Inn with the three other cats they'd found in Pandemonium: the smallish elven cat, a black panther, and a leopard. If the felines were still disoriented from the being brought back from Pandemonium, N'laea couldn't tell. They'd each found the perfect spot in the sun to lay in as they waited, but it was something N'laea could at least fully understand. Still, whether or not it was where they wanted to stay was a different question. She glanced at the panther and the leopard (which one was Chocolate and which one was Brynce? and what was a "chocolate"?) before turning to the cat she'd spoken to before: the little Elvish cat she'd heard Licornah call Nightshade. Whether or not that was what the cat called itself, she did not know, but there was only one way to find out. Holding off on her spell, instead resorting first to the language she'd been taught, N'laea sat near Nightshade, the Elven Cat, and asked, "You are done tumbling through that darken world. Where do you wish to go now? Is your partner still alive or do you wish for a new one? That Elven Priestess called you Nightshade, if that is still what you want to be known as, and I know she wishes to find homes for you three. What home do you need?" The Elven cat twitched her ears at N'laea's words but studiously continued to clean her paws and lounge in the sun. N'laea smiled, as she said, "Unlike your companions, I know you understand me. I do not need acknowledgement. There is plenty worth in simply listening." "I do not if you are from this plane or another. There are forests, elves, and sunlight here, though, once you pass through this Mist," said N'laea as she opened her travel pack and rummaged through it. "There is a forest nearby with two of those three things as well, or places farther away with all three. There is this group you have met who travels often. There is this inn, as well, although it is not the best spot long-term. There is no room to roam and too few rats to hunt." N'laea stood up, snapping a branch off a tree with a small note of thanks, and came back near the Elven cat, still eyeing the other two felines as well. Perhaps they could understand, or perhaps not, but she could potentially get attention from them. She took out the twine she found, tied it securely to the branch she held, and flicked the end near the cats, before gently pulling it back towards her. "You can try to find a place on your own, of course. I half expect it, but you have ones within this group to easily command, who'll do whatever it is you wish them to do to find you a perfect place to live," continued N'laea, casually moving the toy around, seeing whose attention she'd gathered. "Sunlight and afternoon naps are nice, but think of what else you could gain." As N'laea twitched the string and brnach in front of the Elven cat it's ears perked up to listen to her talking. Stretching and laying on its side feeling safer and more open. As it reached just subtly towards the end of the string... WHAM a heavy black body slammed into N'laea with a mouth gripping her fist. As N'laea reacted a deep voice called out STOP and the panther released N'laea from it's grip.

GM: Lorie and TMO do not have characters here, but feel free to comment OOC if you see fit

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): brb - have to get a package outside

mharmon1: (Alright. That was an interesting Scene)

mharmon1: (OK. Let me figure out how to get into Character from my side. My icon is not here)

N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 5]

seyfert (N'laea): (source of voice, anything else relevant)

GM: If you go to the Combat Tracker Michael you can see all the characters and interact as you feel a need

mharmon1 (Talwin): thanks! I actually got there from records and it worked. very interesting

seyfert (N'laea): (I usually go records, I forget about tracker)

mharmon1 (Talwin): So I assume I'm at the Inn and saw this happen? Does she yelp out in pain, or something? Do we know who shouted?

GM: I will give N'laea that the voice is not one she recognizes and came from the courtyard so that limits it down significantly but not positive on who said that

N'laea: (no, she'd be still and calculated, limited reaction)

N'laea: Tsk. You play rough.

N'laea: looking around trying to find source of the voice

Talwin: (So Talwin may not have heard? You can choose to have him in the courtyard with you, or if it would be better to leave N'laea alone to work. Your choice. I have not been here to really play, so I can do whichever you want)

GM: There are the three cats, a horse, two stable boys

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thank you bob

GM: Talwin would have heard in the courtyard

seyfert (N'laea): (he can be in the courtyard, watching what she was doing is fine)

mharmon1 (Talwin): So must have been one of the cats

seyfert (N'laea): (was the STOP in what language?)

GM: W Comm

Talwin: Bursts through the door, face red

seyfert (N'laea): (okay then yes, you all at least heard that if you didn't understand N'laea at least)

GM: no door Talwin in the courtyard

Talwin: voice louder than usual. "N'laea

Talwin: "Are you okay?"

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL. Fine bob haha

N'laea: I am fine. We were simply playing.

Bixi Fizzlebang: peeks out the door of the inn to the courtyard

Talwin: Grumbles. "Did not look like playing to me"

N'laea: Although this one may need a bit of a lesson on how to play nicer.

N'laea: But I do wish to know who yelled?

Talwin: Ponders....shrugs. Maybe it was one of the cats

Talwin: Chuckles

N'laea: I thought perhaps the Elvin cat, yes, but she was playing.

Talwin: I see no one else around

N'laea: glances over at the stable boys

GM: They seem to be training the horse

Talwin: Ponders...Do you ....think they are hungry? We could purchase some food or soemthing. I would rather they be well fed so they don't feed on you

N'laea: I have found many cats do like cheese.

N'laea: looks back over at the Elven cat

GM: They are leading it back and forth giving commands every so often

Talwin: Eyes Cats. "I'm going to get some cheese. Don't eat her." Mumbles, "As if they understand me." "Ive been around the Dragonslayers for too long"

N'laea: Was that you or someone else? (oops forgot to add Woodland so assume that while I do that)

Talwin: Walks to Inn to purchase a wheel of cheese

seyfert (N'laea): (wait no, woodland is in her sheet, I just can't select it?)

N'laea: (test)

GM: It turns out that Woodland is not on the list of languages, we can change that

Talwin: (I'm hoping if I give you a wheel of cheese for them or something they like you more.)

Talwin: (Woodland. Huh)

seyfert (N'laea): (ah I thought it just... made it a language, okay)

Bixi Fizzlebang: calls out to N'laea "Maybe one of the cats is a cursed ghost! Used to be a human or something!"

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): back

seyfert (N'laea): (just saying, I'm training other cat with cheese; it is his only motivating factor)

N'laea: No...

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Micahel - Alt-Enter for OOC

seyfert (N'laea): (anyone else want to try an obs roll?)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Michael - sigh :)

Bixi Fizzlebang: shrugs and takes a note about ghost cats anyway

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): no obs from my guys

seyfert (N'laea): (does Talwin? I couldn't remember)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sorry Lisa, I know how to do it, but habits die hard :)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't have obs

Talwin: Wiat Sorry I did it agai8ns!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Dammit

User is back. (Master TMO)

Master TMO (Craigh): I hate printers.

N'laea: Hello? Who spoke?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): I know - it's hard to get used to

seyfert (N'laea): (very; I finally am getting it... however many sessions later?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sorry, trying to roll obs :(

seyfert (N'laea): (Skills tab, teeny-tiny dice bottom left of the number, drag to this chat box)

[SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thanks Carissa. Was driving me nuts!

seyfert (N'laea): (np!)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Eh, probably because he was busy haggling over a wheel of cheese

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

N'laea: (lol)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Bob, can we say that Talwin sufficiently paid for a wheel of cheese and is coming back?)

Message of the Day

GM: He does not need to pay for a full wheel of cheese, he can say what he wants and then Gerry will give it to him

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yeah, I'm not an ass. I pay normal fair and thank Gerry for being a wonderful innkeeer and friend. :)

Talwin: nods thanks and leaves appropriate money on counter. "Thatnks Gerry!"

Master TMO (Craigh): no peace for the people trying to play D&D... sorry while I try to get caught up

Talwin: Hefts wheel of cheese

mharmon1 (Talwin): You fine TMO :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): I took very short doze off while other area

Talwin: Approaches slowly. "Got your cheese"

Talwin: Not sure how you wanna divvy this thing up"

N'laea: Thank you. I am trying to figure out who spoke just moments ago.

N'laea: Er, only small pieces. That much will upset their stomach.

Talwin: Shrugs. "At this point, it could be the literal gods and it wouldn't suprise me"

Talwin: Looks at Wheel. "Winces"

seyfert (N'laea): ponders and looks up

N'laea: ponders and looks up

Talwin: If it was anyone else. Let me tell you. I have no dagger, so tell the cats not to freak out

Talwin: "Pulls sword out and akwardly tries to cut the cheese into smaller blocks"

Talwin: "Feel like a proper idiot right now"

Talwin: Chuckles to himeself

Talwin: Hands over the first few small pieces

seyfert (N'laea): (to her or the cats?)

Indigo: walks out of the Inn into the courtyard with a mug in his hand

Indigo: Can I have some cheese too?

Talwin: Really?

Talwin: Sighs

N'laea: Plenty to share.

Bixi Fizzlebang: finally deems it safe and enters the courtyard as well

Indigo: Yes. I like cheese

Talwin: Hands over a sizable chunk

Indigo: Thanks!

Bixi Fizzlebang: For a cat that big, doesn't a big piece seem like a small piece?

Talwin: "Don't say I never did nothin for ya"

Talwin: Grins

Indigo: laughs

Talwin: Sighs

N'laea: takes a small piece and shows it to the Elven cat

Talwin: Your killing me Bixi

N'laea: Who spoke?

N'laea: (to the cat)

GM: The Elven Cat reaches out with a paw to pat at the cheese

N'laea: You will like it, but I wish to know.

N'laea: looks at the panther

N'laea: And if you behave, you will get some, too.

GM: The panther studiously licks it's paw

Bixi Fizzlebang: shrugs. "I just think if I was a ghost cat that could talk, I'd hold out for a better bribe."

seyfert (N'laea): (clearly Bixi has never had cheese)

GM: [d12 = 8]

GM: (LOL )

Bixi Fizzlebang: Although it IS ghost cheese so maybe that's different

GM: And as the panther tries to surprise N'laea again with a SWIPE of it's paw at the cheese N'laea yanks it away before it can be snatched

N'laea: No. I said when you behave.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ghost cheese. Quote of the night for me. LOL

GM: The Elven cat hiccups as it rolls over

N'laea: See?

Indigo: points at the panther with his wedge of cheese

N'laea: hands a small piece to the leopard that's behaving so well it feels forgotten

Indigo: He's a sneaky one!

GM: The Leopard takes the cheese daintily in it's mouth and pulls back to eat

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe he just doesn't understand?

seyfert (N'laea): (adorable)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is it even a he? Do we know?

N'laea: He understands just fine. As does the Elven cat.

N'laea: They are cats. They pretend not to understand.

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Bob did you say Daintily?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): :D

Indigo: You could look

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'll leave that to the professional

Bixi Fizzlebang: glances at N'laea

seyfert (N'laea): (if these cats are like mine, they'll make sure you know they're boys ten times a day with their butts in your face)

GM: The Elven cat rolls over sprawled on its back

GM: spreading it's legs

N'laea: Er, they'll tell you themselves.

GM: definately female

N'laea: nods towards the Elven cat

Indigo: grins

N'laea: and hands her a small piece of cheese

Indigo: There you go Bixi

N'laea: turns back to the panther

Bixi Fizzlebang: cringes

N'laea: You did not take from Indigo, tempting though I'm sure it was. You can have this piece.

GM: SNATCHES at N'laea to NIP her finger and take all of the cheese

GM: (that was the Elven cat)

Indigo: HEY! Bad cat!

seyfert (N'laea): (I'm not saying this also happened earlier today but... yeah, also very cat like)

GM: The Panther stis and watches

GM: again BOWS

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey Cat, that's my friend. I'll take the rest of this cheese back right now

N'laea: (pfft, you think she had a huge piece? you give small pieces at a time for this reason!)

N'laea: No, give them a taste. It will either encourage them to behave or... to steal the rest from you.

Gerry the barkeep: What are you all doing out here? Are these the new pets?

N'laea: Trying to figure out where they wish to live and who spoke earlier. Neither of those objectives are going well.

Gerry the barkeep: Sir Talwin said he needed cheese for cats, but how much can they eat?

Gerry the barkeep: They are cats, they don't speak

N'laea: He shared with us, too. They do not need that much. Indigo, though....

N'laea: smiles

Gerry the barkeep: Where would they want to live?

Talwin: Calls out to Gerry. "It's kind of complicated. And, I know nothing about cats. Be careful, they are of their own mind and N'laea is trying to get a feel for them."

N'laea: If you know their language, they do.

Gerry the barkeep: in the Jungle?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The mighty jungle?

Gerry the barkeep: Or the barn?

Gerry the barkeep: I know there are swamp cats out there

Talwin: Laughs, "They could be wardens of the beer kegs"

N'laea: Here, it seems, from their lack of other answers.

Talwin: Grins

Gerry the barkeep: maybe they could live with them?

Talwin: Cocks head. Swamp Cats?

N'laea: I do not know. I only know that priestess wanted to find a home for them so I am trying to find out what I can until they return.

Talwin: N'laea, do you have any idea what a swamp cat is...

Talwin: Clearly feels dumb for asking

N'laea: If it is out there with the swamp cats, I am sure that is fine. But I am certain she'll want to know from them that that is what they do want.

Gerry the barkeep: Cocks in the swamp too Sir Talwin

N'laea: A feline of the swamp? Similar to these, but better suited for swamps.

Talwin: Sigh. I know not how to identify Gestures bob. Cut some slack haha

mharmon1 (Talwin): Dammit!

seyfert (N'laea): (ctrl for actions, alt for ooc)

GM: Chuckles with Michael

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sigh. I know not how to identify Gestures bob. Cut some slack haha

mharmon1 (Talwin): There we go

GM: shift cntrl when you type

Talwin: Hits face. It' sjust a figure of speech....Never mind Gerry

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thanks bob :)

Gerry the barkeep: Well I know there are swamp cats

Gerry the barkeep: at least there were,

Gerry the barkeep: I do not know if they still are

Gerry the barkeep: Indigo? are there still swamp cats?

Talwin Dawn comprehension

Talwin: Oh

N'laea: To be honest, I am more curious about that voice. Cats are cats. They'll do what they wish no matter.

Talwin: Sorry Gerry, I didn't think about it very hard

Talwin Shrugs

Indigo: There are cats everywhere

mharmon1 (Talwin): Unless someone is invisible not sure who else it could have been

Gerry the barkeep: Well that settles it for you N'laea... umm sorry Priestess

mharmon1 (Talwin): besides the cat

N'laea: Priestess?

Gerry the barkeep: I thought you were some Elven priestess? or Royalty? or?

Gerry the barkeep Now Gerry is confused

N'laea: I do not serve Rillifane in that specific capacity, no.

N'laea: And my origins are my own to keep.

Talwin Murmers

Gerry the barkeep Nods carefully

Talwin: Easy N'laea

Talwin: Gerry meant well

N'laea: Simply stating fact.

Indigo: It's her friend that's the priestess Gerry

Talwin: Yeah well, people who care might be a little bit more deserving of a kinder tone

Gerry the barkeep: OH, thank you Indigo

N'laea: Ranger, if you must know that much.

Gerry the barkeep: Ahhh like a tracker

N'laea: Yes.

Gerry the barkeep: finding lost people in the swamps

Gerry the barkeep: that is hard

Gerry the barkeep: I can see why you would not like people talking about it

N'laea: Not quite, but similar.

Gerry the barkeep: cant be very easy to be sucessful

N'laea: sighs

Gerry the barkeep: The Countess seems to like you

Gerry the barkeep: So you must be doing good

N'laea: Since you seem to not know Elves, just know many do not like to talk about where they are from. There are exceptions, but not from me.

Talwin: Yes well. She's great at what she does. And we all like her

Gerry the barkeep: Keep your chin up, you will do good

N'laea: internal sighing

N'laea: eternal? sighing

N'laea: Thank you?

Gerry the barkeep: Anytime

Talwin Stifles a laugh, clearly red faced

N'laea [Elvish]: [Translation] Humans are so odd....

Humans are so odd....

[understood by: Carissa, N'laea, Raelynn]

Talwin Knows N'laea well enought that she's contemplating the world with weary gaze

Gerry the barkeep: Indigo I need to get back in to work on dinner

N'laea: (to herself)

seyfert (N'laea): (ol yes)

Indigo: Okay. Thanks Gerry. Great cheese!

Gerry the barkeep: do you know if the Countess will be back here? or will you be heading to the Keep?

Indigo: Think we'll be heading home when they get back

Gerry the barkeep: Thank you

Indigo: You don't want a cat do you?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Or three?

Gerry the barkeep Goes off back to the Inn, nodding to himself about how many new things he needs to learn how the world has changed

Gerry the barkeep turns around

Indigo: Guess not

Gerry the barkeep: OH? Do you think we should keep them?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe if they want to stay here?

Indigo: The elf priest lady probably wouldn't like it

N'laea: Perhaps the leopard. Elven cats can be... mischievious enough. And that panther....

Bixi Fizzlebang: You wouldn't have to worry about rats anymore

N'laea: But if you are willing, we can let her know it's an option.

Gerry the barkeep: What happens if they go out into that,

Gerry the barkeep: would it be like .....

N'laea: They'll likely regret it and return?

Gerry the barkeep trails off not mentioning the others that disapeared

Talwin Nods in understanding.

seyfert (N'laea): (his life is just a horror story)

Talwin: Ah Gerry. I follow

Talwin: Well I can say for certain if they leave this place, it will be much more dreary and sunless then the current locale

Talwin: The mists are a blanket over this area

GM: a heavy sigh from one of the cats

Talwin: At least here, they could sun themselves, feel the world as I think it was meant to be

N'laea: looks to see which cat

Talwin Turns to Cat

Talwin: Well it's true. Go see for yourself. Trust me, you have it made at the Inn

Talwin: And there's cheese

GM: Two of the three (the Elven cat and the Leopard) are curled up next to each other, the panther is watching the gate

Talwin Follows Gaze

Talwin: What are you looking for?

Talwin: Or at?

N'laea: This is why we're offering you help.

N'laea: to the panther in Woodland

GM: The panther LEAPS and SNATCHES a rabbit that was nibbling on the edge of the gate

GM: CRUNCH

Talwin Cheerfully

N'laea: So careful not to cross that line...

Talwin: Nevermind. That's what it was looking for

Talwin: Shrugs

GM: crack, wet sounds

Bixi Fizzlebang: ew

Talwin: I can escort them to the Jungle. After this adventure of ours is over I'm asking bran for a sabbatical. There migth be some to the south of the desert lands

seyfert (N'laea): (good, that means it's full of blood and bones)

Talwin: No promises that they'll listen or even follow me

N'laea: If that is what they want, but still, they do not tell us.

Talwin: It's like you said. Cats are weird

GM: The Elven cat purrs contently

N'laea: Well, when the others get back, at least we can let them know the cats do appreciate cheese. I suppose we did accomplish something.

Talwin: I had a War dog once. Died of old age ironically enough. It would do anything for my attentions. A cat demands the exact opposite

Talwin: Er, what should I do with the rest of the wheel? I don't suppose

Talwin: I should give it to Indigo?

N'laea: It depends on the cat. Many are like that, yes, but some Elven cats are quite affectionate. This one... may or may not be one of them.

N'laea: smiles

Talwin Looks at Elven Cat with Skepticism

N'laea: I'm sure he'll appreciate it, too.

Talwin: Right, well.

N'laea: I'm sure he'll appreciate it, too.

Talwin: I'll leave this triangle here.

Talwin Walks back to Inn

Talwin: indigo, got a present for you!

Talwin The heavy block lands on the nearest table to Indigo.

Indigo: What?

Talwin: All yours buddy

Indigo: looks up

Indigo: I'll wrap it up. We'll need it later likely

Indigo: Thanks

Talwin Smiles

Talwin: Sounds good. But you know, help yourself. Your always hungry I swear

GM: and good for the group in the courtyard of the Inn?

Talwin I'm good. I feel we made some progress

mharmon1 (Talwin): But can continue

GM: back to the group in the courtyard in Hiyal?

seyfert (N'laea): (yep, dunno what else to do)

GM: for Branwyn and group

Youtargim Comes back from the Palace with a napsack over his shoulder

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, I feel like we're making zero progress, but I don't think that's likely to change until everyone else is back

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): thought that group was just coming back - I can roll the teleport

Youtargim: Where do we sail for?

Raelynn: Dragon Fen! Er, but not sailing.

Branwyn: Sail? We are teleporting back to our home

Youtargim: Oh

Youtargim: sort of seems like cheating

Youtargim: no sailing?

Youtargim: storms?

Branwyn: Teleport - Range: Touch, AoE: Special, Duration: Instantaneous, Cast Time: 2, Save: None

Youtargim: pirates?

Branwyn: Teleport - Range: Touch, AoE: Special, Duration: Instantaneous, Cast Time: 2, Save: None

Raelynn: (I was trying to find bless, but assume that happened)

Branwyn: Teleport - Range: Touch, AoE: Special, Duration: Instantaneous, Cast Time: 2, Save: None

Raelynn: You'll get plenty of that, I'm sure. We don't usually teleport.

GM: and with a WHOOOSH everyone returns back to the Inn of the Lost Eagle

Branwyn: [d100 = 96]

Branwyn: AHHHHH!!!

Raelynn: (91 with bless, right?)

Raelynn: (....still bad?)

Master TMO (Craigh): TPK?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): glad I didn't go!

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): no it's fine - should be very familiar which means only 100 would pput us underground

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): 90s always freak me out when I see them

Branwyn: [CAST] Teleport

Raelynn: (lol I assumed we just went a tad higher above ground and fell a little ungracefully)

seyfert (Raelynn): (that's fair!)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): it's backwards high number is landing low and low number is landing high

GM: Hmmm, not sure why it did not automatically roll the percentage though

GM: but yes after that dramatic pause everyone lands safely in the courtyard of the Inn

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sighs in Relief

Talwin Sighs in Relief

Talwin: Everyone okay?

Branwyn: Teleport - Range: Touch, AoE: Special, Duration: Instantaneous, Cast Time: 2, Save: None

Branwyn: Teleport

Teleport

GM: Oh well

Raelynn: We're back! And we brought someone with us!

GM: Yeap I looked at those too Lisa, grins

GM: I can see when you are editing a sheet if I have it open

GM: apparently

GM: and so yes now you have more introductions and both IC and OOC character discussions about what to do moving forward

Branwyn: Yes, everyone this is Youtargim from Hiyal

Youtargim: Hello

Branwyn: Princess Maya allowed him to come and travel with us

Talwin SideEyes Bran

Talwin: Er...Ahem. Pleasure to meet you!

Youtargim: I gather you need someone to help with languages?

Branwyn: This is Talwin, N'laea, Indigo, Howard and the cats

Youtargim: I see,

Branwyn: And Bixi!

Bixi Fizzlebang: And Bixi!

Talwin: We could always use that!

Raelynn: He likes learning languages. That's N'laea over there. She does, too.

Raelynn: points

LorieD: goes to the cats and sits with them

Youtargim: The Cats are a group by them selves

Raelynn points

Talwin: I like to kill things and swing a sword

seyfert (Raelynn): (oooh that's the difference....)

Youtargim: Do you take them many places with you?

seyfert (Raelynn): (ctrl plus shift gets rid of the :)

Indigo: Careful Licornah! The cats just ate a lot of cheese

Indigo: grins

Talwin: Er. Us or the Cats Youtargim?

Youtargim: I am not sure?

N'laea: They seem content as they are now. We could not get much from the cats on if they want a home elsewhere.

Youtargim: I am here to help you, I heard you are goign to hell?

Talwin: ....

Talwin: I mean

LorieD: nods to N'Laea

Talwin: If you want to, you're welcome to go?

Youtargim: I am not familiar with what is spoken there but I am willing to help

Talwin: Eyes Bran

N'laea: What do you speak?

Branwyn: Yes we need to return a library book

Youtargim: I do think I can be of much more help in the deserts

Talwin: He does know what Hell entails right?

LorieD: (they speak GM in Hell AFAIK ) ;o)

seyfert (N'laea): (hell if he knows)

Youtargim: A library book

Branwyn: If you do not wish to come you stay at my home while we go there

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOLOLOL

Youtargim: How mean is that librarian?

Talwin: Oh boy

Branwyn: laughs

Craigh: Devilishly mean.

Talwin: Is to die for

Youtargim Nice

seyfert (N'laea): (lmao)

Branwyn: The book was taken from hell and it was on our plane. I made the mistake of opening it and now demons are after me

Branwyn: I am hoping that returning it will end this mess

Youtargim: Better than Effreets

LorieD: (word)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): He seems to be really nudging us to this desert thing...

mharmon1 (Talwin): Man...We've had that thing for....jeeze almost as long as I first started

Branwyn: But that is after we return a clock to an elven goddess

Branwyn: That trip will hopefully be morepleasant

Branwyn: cloak

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talwin wants really badly to visit the desert

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Youtargim looks over at Rae at the mention of Elven goddesses

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): we will get there

seyfert (N'laea): (think at's 2023 or 2024)

Raelynn: Mmmhmm! It's very important she gets it back!

Youtargim: Are you a goddess?

Craigh: It's certainly a lot more interesting than I expected it to be when I decided to come out here, I'll say that.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sorry lisa :) Not trying to wish our way to the next adventure. Just so excited to see what bob does with it :)

Raelynn: laughs

Raelynn: I could never match up to Hanali, but I try my best!

GM: I cannot believe no one followed up with the quote

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): yes it will be good and we now have a translator for it

seyfert (Raelynn): (the quote?)

GM: Rae, if someone asks if you are a god......

seyfert (Raelynn): (you say yes...?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL BOB

Master TMO (Craigh): throws something at Florida

Raelynn: (she didn't deny it, she just didn't confirm it, either)

GM: Come on that is the quote of the night

LorieD: (I would probably answer, no I'm a Veronica, but that's just me)

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol)

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): This is a funny as hell session

GM: and that one went over my head

LorieD: (Are you a Heather, no I'm a Veronica -- from Heathers)

GM: Ahhh

LorieD: (If SPC or Jeff were here, they would get it)

LorieD: (John would know it )

LorieD: (and now it's a musical... uber weird)

GM: I think Carissa and Michael did too

seyfert (Raelynn): (no)

seyfert (Raelynn): (that's two things over my head)

Talwin: I love musicals ;)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oops

mharmon1 (Talwin): Pretent I said that OOC

GM: refilling my water as you discuss OOC what you are going to tackle the rest of the night

GM: we have an hour plus to try to solve a couple of issues

GM: brb

mharmon1 (Talwin): I think I will do the same. I'm parched

seyfert (Raelynn): (...first, someone tells me what issues?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Actually, need to take the pupper out. He's whining and I think he needs the restroom :) BRB

LorieD (Licornah ): (home for cats, heading to hell as next destination, what to do with Youtargim?? -- my guesses)

seyfert (Raelynn): (cats is one, cloak is before hell, and yeah, I guess Youtargrim? or who is stayin at the inn versus not)

seyfert (Raelynn): (is Licornah fine is the cats want to stay at the inn? not sure how else to tackle that)

seyfert (Raelynn): *if

Indigo: who leveled and needs training?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi is just here for the ride and the ghost stories

LorieD (Licornah ): (I had the impression they wanted to stay outside, but in a barn, inside :: shrug :: no issues)

seyfert (Raelynn): (oh right! Bixi and Lanek, I believe)

MadamePsychosis: My guys have to go home. You know, husband, kids, an estate to run, etc.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh shoot, I still do I think. But honestly I don't even want to learn anything else right now if I can save it for later? When we find something that I desperately need like a rainbow unicorn spell or something?

LorieD (Licornah ): (Rainbow unicorn spells are helpful -- for sure)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is that possible?

seyfert (Raelynn): (a level in Illusionist, I think means you can just roll to try ot learn a spell?)

MadamePsychosis: the thing with training is that we can only do it when we are home doing nothing

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Learn or memorize?

seyfert (Raelynn): (Lisa can better guide that, but probably just trying to learn another 3rd level spell)

LorieD (Licornah ): (Do we still have the spell books with countless spells in them? )

seyfert (Raelynn): (yep)

seyfert (Raelynn): (well, dunno if it's the same one, but Bran has a library with lots of spells to learn from)

MadamePsychosis: learn

MadamePsychosis: training is a different thing for mages

LorieD (Licornah ): (what's your time table, can we snap weeks to move the story forward -- whilst training is happening? It's what we used to do?)

GM: back

Raelynn: (yep still what's done)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well someone will have to suggest one then, because there wasn't anything else that I desperately wanted? Can I save learning for later or is there something that I should really be trying to get?

MadamePsychosis: what issues did you have in mind Bob?

seyfert (Raelynn): and yes, you get a second third level spell and a chance to relearn spells, I think

MadamePsychosis: you are a mage - they should desperately want more magic :D

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I always plan to do more research in between sessions but life keeps happening.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have more magic than I can keep up with now lol

MadamePsychosis: that's the priesty anchor weighing you down

seyfert (Raelynn): (next story is slated to be longer so it's worth doing now)

MadamePsychosis: too many spells

LorieD (Licornah ): (Never enough magic... but it gets to be rough re-learning / studying)

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol)

LorieD (Licornah ): (How are you on plane protection? Protection against undead / demons? )

Master TMO (Craigh): is this the illusionist Lemon?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What's the easiest way to look at what spells I could learn? Or if someone just wants to flat out tell me what to go for, even better.

Craigh: I'm pulling up a list

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit 1

MadamePsychosis: but the thing with mages - you train a new level you automatically get a new spell. If you train with Branwyn you can only get a spell she knows since she can't teach you a spell she doesn't know. Which is why I always try to shove the mages off to guilds when they level so they can learn something they want to learn and not just have to pick from my spells

GM: My thoughts were working out WHERE to go for Cloak Check, any training (I will check on Bixi's level and what she has available) and in general if there was anything that the group wanted to do before heading off, for example does Licornah know where you are heading on the next adventure?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Any time we start doing numbers things it's just like ugh for me. Especially this late in the evening... this late in the week...

seyfert (Raelynn): (not numbers, just a spell you like and can learn to choose from)

seyfert (Raelynn): (and to Bob, I thought you had some hook planned to help them go to the Plane rather than the church :P)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Counting how many spells I have counts as numbers for me

MadamePsychosis: any spells you want above the free spell from training you have to research or roll to learn if a guild or library here has it in a book/scroll already

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Carissa sent me a list of spells, so hold on while I look at that

GM: Yes you are heading to a new Plane of Someplace

GM: How will you find out how to get there?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): In fact, she's sent me this spell list so many times that I have downloaded 4 copies. I need to get my files organized

LorieD (Licornah ): (Do you have Expeditious Retreat? If not, I recommend)

GM: Lisa has a thing for Branwyn to learn, when she gets a chance to read and then perhaps experiment

LorieD (Licornah ): Alter Self?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can I even get that?

GM: so Bixi is now a 6th level Illusionist

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Alter self I think I have

MadamePsychosis: the elves are going to have to help with the cloak drop off location - it's their goddess

seyfert (Raelynn): (up in Discord for you, Lemon)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm thinking maybe wraithform?

MadamePsychosis: Branwyn can work with the amulet but she doesn't know those places

GM: Which means being able to cast more spells, but not needing to learn new spells

GM: no new spell level

Licornah : applauds Bixi

seyfert (Raelynn): (well if no Hook, Rae will stay here, pray, probably has a spell specifically to talk to her goddess she can use)

=== Advancing Illusionist to level 6 ===

Save for rod improved to 9

Save for staff improved to 9

Save for wand improved to 9

Save for petrification improved to 11

Save for polymorph improved to 11

Save for breath improved to 13

Updated Arcane spell level 3 slots by 1

'Bixi Fizzlebang' gained level 6 in Illusionist. Gained 1 additional HP.

One level of class 'Illusionist' added to 'Bixi Fizzlebang'.

___ COMPLETED Illusionist to level 6 ___

LorieD (Licornah ): (I was cross-referencing Hell spells with Illusionist)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh hello error box

GM: and not sure if everyone else saw that

GM: but all of Bixi's saves etc automatically updated when I clicked the button on her sheet

seyfert (Raelynn): (but new level, can't she reroll for spells she didn't learn first time?_

MadamePsychosis: re-roll for spells that were in books or scrolls yes

GM: Yes to Carissa but that is something for next/now after the leveling

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or like, I'm supposed to be able to cast one level 3 illusionist spell, but I haven't learned any yet? So I can try for one of those?

MadamePsychosis: have to do research again if it was a failed research attempt

GM: I do like how the program handles everything automatically for you

GM: you can cast two now, three if it is an Illusionist spell

mharmon1 (Talwin): (My dog appreciates the bathroom break. Thanks guys. I'm back)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): what

seyfert (Raelynn): (you have two level 3 spells: illusionary script and invisibility, but now you can memorize them three times)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, Sensei TMO, can we talk about this some more this weekend?

MadamePsychosis: yes you would need training and take an illusion spell as your freebie

MadamePsychosis: oh her training is 4th lvl spells?

GM: no need for more training

Master TMO (Craigh): Absolutely! Just ping me any time.

GM: she does not get a new spell level,

MadamePsychosis: ohhhh

Raelynn: (I thought she could roll for spells, though, to learn)

MadamePsychosis: forget all that then

GM: only additional spells

GM: Yes to Carissa

MadamePsychosis: only ones that are in books or scrolls

GM: but wanted to walk through it step by step

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What level was that rainbow spell?

seyfert (Raelynn): (okay got it)

MadamePsychosis: if she wants a completely new spell she needs to research

GM: so that Lemon understood what was happening

seyfert (Raelynn): (too high for you right now)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How many years until I can get it?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or months? She asked hopefully

MadamePsychosis: who leveled that actually needs training?

seyfert (Raelynn): (in real life or in game...?)

seyfert (Raelynn): (Lanek for thief)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): real life

GM: Lanek has a thief level

seyfert (Raelynn): (but that can take awhile to train)

MadamePsychosis: ok

seyfert (Raelynn): (dunno but I'm trying to find what spells are available and where the new ones are...)

Master TMO (Craigh): just so I'm 100% clear, does Bixi get a new spell free, or is it 'roll to learn'? and it's not any particular level, she just got an extra casting slot, right?

GM: No no new spells for free

Master TMO (Craigh): so just roll to learn if she wants to?

GM: no

GM: right now she is leveled up

MadamePsychosis: this why I don't like not being able to see other sheets - less confusion

GM: Next is deciding IF there are spells that she wants to attempt to learn

seyfert (Raelynn): (4th level for rainbow spell, so one more illusionist level to get it which is... I udnno, depends how xp goes)

seyfert (Raelynn): (this is why I still use kLoOge to look, lol)

GM: Everyone has their list of what they want to do from NOW until you leave for WHEREEVER

MadamePsychosis: xp isn't going there anymore :(

Craigh: "attempt to learn" =/= "roll to learn"?

GM: including figuring out where the where ever is

seyfert (Raelynn): so IF they're in the library, the only potential illusionist spells in existence that Bixi can learn are: hypnotic pattern, wraithform, and spectral force

Master TMO (Craigh): dangit 2

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh wants to work with Howard and Johan to make more utility scrolls for the group

GM: Carissa, Lisa, and TMO are all talking at cross purposes with Lemon about what to do with her character

GM: there we go thank you TMO

GM: That is a thing to put on the list

GM: If Lemon wants Bixi to try to learn more spells that is a thing to put on the list

GM: Lisa has learn how to control the Amulet of the Planes on her list

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm just not 100% clear WHEN I can try to learn new spells

GM: We get to that later Lemon

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Regular when, not WHEN when

GM: knowing you what you want to do first

Master TMO (Craigh): where is the list?

GM: so we can have the list and work on it

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If we get to that later than how do I know if I'm supposed to be deciding now?

seyfert (Raelynn): (I don't see any of those spells in the libaray so... I'm done)

GM: I cannot help anyone complete any task until I know what people want to do

GM: so we can organize it all

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know what I want to do until I know what I can do

LorieD (Licornah ): (I'm researching and consulting with the cats on where they want to go / need to go)

GM: Or we can just say it takes 6 weeks for Bixi to learn spells, OH Lisa did not say what she wanted, now another 6 weeks for that, OH Lanek needs training another 7 weeks

MadamePsychosis: Johan has Hypnotic Pattern and Wraithform is in one of the books we got from Skull Church. No on the other one

seyfert (Carissa): (nothing for my characters I can think of beside goddess communing)

GM: OR we have one list and it all goes step by step

Master TMO (Craigh): Where is the list?

seyfert (Carissa): (oh sweet, I missed that/looked past it)

LorieD (Licornah ): (Licornah will also seek out any folks in need of healing, treatment in the area, and communing with local animals to get to know them)

GM: no one has made one yet TMO

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean, I sitll have a point for Sword mastery beyond my already mastery. But the finding of someone for training is probably just not going to happen

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I get that, but I have no idea whether or not I can attempt to learn a new spell now, so why would I put that on the list if I can't do it?

GM: Lemon, once we know what everyone wants to do then we can look at it and figure out how it can or cannot happen

GM: for Michael with his Grand Mastery for example

GM: good to have it on the list of things he wants to do,

GM: so we know that is a thing

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): um, ok. I guess if I can learn a new spell I might as well try to learn a new spell, since I don't have any level 3s to cast yet.

MadamePsychosis: we should just go through the players and have everyone say what the want/need

seyfert (Carissa): (invisibility and script are level 3s you can cast and have learned)

GM: You have 2 level three spells Lemon

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not a bad idea lisa.

GM: I am going to stop and let the group give me a list

Talwin: alright

mharmon1 (Talwin): Lisa you first. Anything you want to do?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh

MadamePsychosis: Branwyn needs to go through the amulet book and practice plane shifting

Talwin: Bob, good for Lisa for Bran?

MadamePsychosis: needs elf help to locate the right plane for the cloak return

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I REALLY need to organize my stuff.

mharmon1: just release my character for now

MadamePsychosis: or a elf book that she can read

GM: You tell me the list then I will help organize it into time chunks

MadamePsychosis: that is all for my characters

mharmon1: Cool beans

mharmon1: TMO your up buddy

mharmon1: What do you want to do with your characters

mharmon1: Sorry for the hustle, i'm getting tired :)

GM: it is good Michael, thank you for taking charge

mharmon1: (Also I can't tell when someone is typing)

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh is going to work with other mages to increase utility scrolls

mharmon1: Awesome. Anything else? :)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Can I get back to you on what I want to put on this list after I have some TMO mentoring?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): dangit 1

mharmon1: (Yes. For now that's probably fine. I'm saving the hard ones for last ;) )

mharmon1: Sweet

GM: Lemon all you need to know is Do you want to learn new spells? If a yes that goes on the list, if a no then anything else you want

mharmon1: Carissa, you up

Branwyn: I can't even find my XP on my character sheet

GM: for XP go to the Main Tab, then the magnifying glass on your class & level line

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well I'm going to say yes for now, but it's not a high priority for me. So if it doesn't fit in with everyone else's timeline, I'm fine with skipping it for now. I need to do more research

GM: it brings up your XP with the log of awards

mharmon1: (Spells are never a bad thing in my opinion Lemon :) We will make it fit)

seyfert (Carissa): Goddess communing, potentially visit forest and ask that elf for cloak ideas if needed, exist.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Can I try to learn new spells any time we're in one place for awhile? Is it just a time constraint? Or am I limited to how many I can learn and when? (I understand the difference between memorize and learn, I am not asking about memorizing)

Lemon: dangit 2

mharmon1: Sweet. Anything else Carissa? I gott be honest, between you and bran, you guys hav ethe most fleshed out characters, why i'm asking haha

mharmon1: Not trying to be an ass, I swear

GM: You can Learn a new spell any time you have a place and time to study, it takes days to weeks to learn a new spell

Master TMO (Craigh): Carissa - which character was that?

Lemon: Ok, fantastic. That is the information I needed

seyfert (Carissa): OH! Actually, yes. With new guy, N'laea and him can potentially talk and learn languages from each other if they have time (maybe at least one more language for N'laea to gain?)

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm adding all this to the Training Plans page

Lemon: so yes, add learning a spell, but low priority

Branwyn: you need to be in a library to research spells and you have to have the book or scrolls you want with you to do that then you need to work with them and do nothing else all day so no you can't do it on the road :)

seyfert (Carissa): (Nlaea will always be trying to learn a new language)

mharmon1: Thanks TMO, I'll stop my notepad list haha

seyfert (Carissa): (which character for what TMO?)

Lemon: if Bixi has time, she wants to work on a book

Master TMO (Craigh): the task you want to do

mharmon1: Was that all for Nylea?

mharmon1: Is what I think he meant?

Lemon: How do you learn more languages?

mharmon1: Anythin gelse you wanted?

mharmon1: (Just training point Lemon)

mharmon1: (And a teacher)

mharmon1: (sorry, proficiency point)

Lemon: what

seyfert (Carissa): (Rae would be the one doing the communing, both would potentially talk to Shi about the cloak, and Nlaea talking to the new guy for languages if there is time to learn a new one (site says only a week is needed...))

mharmon1: We'll cirlce back to that Lemon. Promise it's not too hard. :)

mharmon1: We'll help everystep of the way

seyfert (Carissa): (Yes, languages proficency which requires you to already have learned a number of languages)

Lemon: But how do I know how to add it to the list if I don't know what it is!

GM: When you ahve an open Non Weapon Proficiency slot you can pick a new language to learn just like learnign to swim, etc.

Lemon: ohhhhh

Lemon: how do I get those?

GM: going up in level

mharmon1: You can also use a weapon point as well, but you can never use a non-weapon as a weapon point

Lemon: cool

seyfert (Carissa): (and once you learn three, you can pick up another prof that lets you learn four easily)

Lemon: thank you

mharmon1: So I think we are good on Carissa. Feel free to add more though if you need :)

mharmon1: My turn

mharmon1: I would like Grand Mastery. I'm a simple man and need nothing else. If bob will let me have it after 3 years, I'd be happy

mharmon1: I am done

mharmon1: Lemon you up! :)

mharmon1: Tell us what you want, and it shall be done. If you have the points to dedicate to slots

Lemon: I already said mine. Bixi wants to (low priority) try to learn a spell, and work on writing a book

mharmon1: Cool

mharmon1: It is written in teh book of eternity

mharmon1: Who am I missing

mharmon1: Spring is not here therefore skippign her for now

Master TMO (Craigh): Licornah

mharmon1: DOH

mharmon1: I am so sorry

mharmon1: You're up! :)

mharmon1: Again, sorry. Not used to you so I feel dumb now haha

Lemon: And if we're still talking about where to go next, I also want to try and figure out the cats first

LorieD: Licornah will spend any available time celebrating the full moons, tending to any ill / infirm folks, getting to know local animals, and trying to befriend the group in general. She will offer her limited assistance researching the cloak they need to return. She'll write in her journal for her family about her adventures to help them see the world outside Moonspring. Lorie will ponder how to add her given abilities and Bonus NWP and spells that aren' t in the master to her character sheet. There will be lots of thanks given to Lurue and getting to know any BOB NPCs. /end

mharmon1: Wow

LorieD: (I'm new here, easy to forget me)

Master TMO (Craigh): me tries to figure out how to add that to a columnar table. :P

mharmon1: Well, bob, that was a detailed intelligence brief worth of the Office Director of National Intelligence

mharmon1: It shall be done

seyfert (Carissa): (add to her list and to Bixi: introduce them both to Jilly to talk about unicorns)

mharmon1: Sure, add that too haha :)

mharmon1: Are we square everyone?

mharmon1: Speak now

GM: That is a good idea for an IC chat on the site during the week Carissa and Lorie

mharmon1: Alright. Bob all good?

GM: along with Lemon when the unicorns come up

Branwyn: put Lanek down for thief training - spring can deal with how she wants to do it later when she's back

seyfert (Carissa): (They'd need someone who knows Jilly met one which is not Rae or Nae)

Master TMO (Craigh): nods

GM: so what we need is what information do the three elves have for Branwyn so she can research which Plane to reset the amulet to

mharmon1: Spring has spoken via proxy haha :)

Branwyn: Branwyn

mharmon1: Er, I didn't follow that chain. What?

mharmon1: Or is my part over?

mharmon1: Sorry :)

GM: Branwyn is trying to learn how to reset the Amulet of the Planes away from Pandemonium and to ????

GM: So she needs information from the elves

LorieD: (she's resetting to Publix for a sub)

GM: HAH no one else knows Publix

Branwyn: Sehanine Moonbow

LorieD: (We miss Publix oddly enough)

mharmon1: (We have one right next to us. Just ask her LOL. Anyways, I'm done being a smartass. I think I'm going to turn in. Hugs everyone :) Is there anything else I can assist with first though?)

GM: but Carissa what information do you have about where that is

seyfert (Carissa): (I don't know what information my characters would have)

Branwyn: Goodnight Michael!

seyfert (Carissa): (would it be a religion thing they'd know?)

LorieD: (Night Michael)

seyfert (Carissa): (night Michael!)

GM: When you get the chance over the week look in on the site Michael

GM: Night

Branwyn: Thought when we found it they went nuts over it

mharmon1: Night everyone! It was such a pleasure to play again!!!

'mharmon1' disconnected

GM: Yes to Lisa

seyfert (Carissa): (lol yes they did, but does she just need information to search for which plane or do they know the plane ot tell her what plane?)

GM: What information do you have to tell her is what I am asking

MadamePsychosis: Ok - you know I am so not a priest person

seyfert (Carissa): (wait no, they should know. if Bixi knows her gods were at the Twin Paradises, then the Elves would know where their gods reside)

MadamePsychosis: Don't priests know where their gods live?

Craigh: (LINK)

GM: to my knowledge so far none of the Elves have actually told anyone else where their gods live

seyfert (Carissa): (yeah probably, sorry brain is starting to fail)

Master TMO (Craigh): little huts by the stream in the deep woods

seyfert (Carissa): (one sec, pulling it up because memory failing)

GM: But the Elves have talked about it on the site in stories, etc

MadamePsychosis: not sure you have to know this instant

GM: yes to Lisa

MadamePsychosis: but theoretically they should be able to help :)

seyfert (Carissa): (huh but Adobe does remember exactly where I last left off...which is at Moonbow)

LorieD (Licornah ): What do I need to roll, she's from my neighborhood)

GM: no need to roll Lorie

GM: it would be something you know as a priestess,

LorieD (Licornah ): (LOL)

Licornah : Anything I know about her, I offer up

GM: thank you

Craigh: (LINK)

GM: so my question becomes where do you do this research

GM: Branwyn has a tower and library etc

GM: you can all go to the manor house

MadamePsychosis: Nice TMO! Thanks

GM: Thank you TMO

seyfert (Carissa): (OK, ao they'd let her know the Seldarine resides on the plane of Arborea on the later of Olympus)

LorieD (Licornah ): (Is there something in your link? I don't see anything) - paste it takes me to Link from Zelda

GM: (LINK)

seyfert (Carissa): (links don't work for me, I'll have to see if they show up in chat later)

GM: See if that works better?

Master TMO (Craigh): with a little more thought, a bit more organization, and a lot more patience than I currently have ;), the Task list and Training Plans can probably be merged

MadamePsychosis: click on the shield thing

LorieD (Licornah ): (Danke Schoen / Mercy Buckets / Mil Gracias)

seyfert (Carissa): (okay the one does work, but have to click the little icon that shows up next to it)

GM: BUT if you go to the site and then Recent Changes the Training Page is at the top of the list

seyfert (Carissa): (only has that when Bob posts it, though)

LorieD (Licornah ): (TMO's didn't have a shield, BOB's worked)

MadamePsychosis: TMO's original link had a shield and that worked for me

seyfert (Carissa): (none of the others show shield for me, weird)

Master TMO (Craigh): ah, good to know. Folks will find it hard to post music links in chat

GM: It did not have the shield for me

LorieD (Licornah ): (interesting I can't see his shield)

Master TMO (Craigh): it did for Lisa only?? very weird

GM: BUT I think there is a new error that cropped up

Lemon: I saw one of the shields but not the second one that TMO posted

GM: so we will see how it is next week

MadamePsychosis: first one had one and the 2nd did not have one

Master TMO (Craigh): I only posted once that I know of.

MadamePsychosis: I only got 2 zip files tonight. 16 less than last week :D

seyfert (Carissa): (oh, you're right, first one does have a shield from TMO)

GM: ouch still Lisa

LorieD (Licornah ): I see BOB's links, but you've posted two and I didn't see either -- in any case, appreciate you adding this

Master TMO (Craigh): I was AFK when the second {LINK} posted??

LorieD (Licornah ): No /zips since the first night for me

MadamePsychosis: good!

GM: the bit of In Character is when Licornah walks out of the courtyard of the Inn and into The Mist

LorieD (Licornah ): (If I see those Drillians, the spirit of Kylia Wolfslayer will rise up and smite them TWICE LOL)

GM: Carissa and Lisa can coach IC what will happen then we have her roll

Carissa: shoot what's-his-face probably needs that, too

seyfert (Carissa): shoot what's-his-face probably needs that, too

GM: nods

MadamePsychosis: Youtargim?

LorieD (Licornah ): (Prince Yougurt)

MadamePsychosis: LOL

GM: Is why I bring it up

GM: and LOL

LorieD (Licornah ): (LOL)

seyfert (Carissa): (LOL)

Raelynn: sighs

Raelynn: I hate this part.

Branwyn: I know. perhaps it won't be so bad this time.

Raelynn: I'd stay here if I could, but all the things I need to do right now are out... there.

Craigh: stands nearby, slinging his pack over his right shoulder.

GM: Also Lemon Bixi has to deal with this too

Raelynn: I don't know if it's better or worse to want to keep coming back. It's nice here, but then you have to deal with that more often. There's just no happy medium!

GM: (LINK)

Lemon: Bixi got lucky last time, but it sucked the first time lol

Raelynn: (no worse than poor Indigo, lol)

Lemon: true

Raelynn: takes a deep breath

Raelynn: Ok. I'm just going to go from it.

Raelynn: steps outside the gate

Raelynn: [d20 = 7]

Bixi Fizzlebang: shudders a little bit, remembering the first time

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Elves are particularly susceptible to Mist Sickness, even Drow, and have a -4 to their Health checks. None of the Elven special abilities function during Mist Sickness and take a full week of recovery afterward before they return.

Raelynn: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 14]

LorieD (Licornah ): (did someone get a decent deal on the nuclear wasteland to build a keep here?)

Branwyn: [CHECK] Constitution [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20-1 = 1]

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): yay!

N'laea: [d20 = 3]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [d20 = 11]

Craigh: hums cheerfully to himself and follows the others through the gate and back into familiar gloom.

Indigo: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 11]

Craigh: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 8] [d20 = 17]

GM: If you go to your character sheet and drag the die from your Con to the chat window it will roll it for you and do the check

Licornah : [CHECK] Dexterity [-4] (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20+4 = 6]

Howard Plum: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 19]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 12]

seyfert (Raelynn): (well damn, didn't remember it as a con check, thought d20)

Licornah : that was a minus 4 on my side not a plus 4

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 10]

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): was health but we don't have it FG

N'laea: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 8]

GM: you rolled Dex Lorie

Raelynn: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 6]

Licornah : let me do again

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): 11, 12, and 10. I should be in the same range no matter which one you go by lol

Licornah : [CHECK] Constitution [-4] (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 4] [d20+4 = 15]

seyfert (Raelynn): (first time Mist entrance is another hit, right?)

Raelynn: takes a deep breath

GM: Yes to Carissa

Raelynn: Okay. That wasn't too bad.

MadamePsychosis: So Bran and Indigo are fine and Howard is sick

Master TMO (Craigh): and Craigh dies :D

GM: Failure of this check means the character is significantly incapacitated {one half Health and one half Stamina} for up to two weeks. Success limits this effect to only one to two days. Priests who fail their check loose the ability to cast all spells for one to two days and then all spells are cast as being one level higher {1st levels spells count at 2nd level spells} for the duration of Mist Sickness. Healing spells of any type are not available to a Priest while under any type of Mist Sickness. Those that have failed their checks cannot heal normally for one to two days as they adjust to their new restrictions.

Raelynn: Are you coming, Youtargim? It'll probably be unpleasant. Ummm like Licornah is finding out....

Youtargim: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 9) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 0]

seyfert (Raelynn): (0??)

MadamePsychosis: 0?

Master TMO (Craigh): ???

GM: chuckles

Master TMO (Craigh): he's cheating again

GM: Just experimenting with the new abilities

MadamePsychosis: lol

seyfert (Raelynn): (not human, I told you!! ;) )

Youtargim: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 10] [d20 = 19]

LorieD (Licornah ): (no, no, it's not cheating when BOB does it, it's HOUSE rules)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know about not human, but there's definitely something off about him

Youtargim: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 21] [d20 = 30]

seyfert (Raelynn): (I mean these rolls are all pretty suspect)

LorieD (Licornah ): (he's from Al-Qadim, he's not normal)

Youtargim: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 8] [d20 = 17]

GM: So there is a new possibility if I do wish to use it

GM: But he did fail and it passed out cold

Craigh: takes a deep, satisfied breath to be back in the Mist, seems to choke for a moment, then sags to the ground.

Raelynn: Oof. Like that.

Raelynn: goes over to check him

Raelynn: Hmm, we can either let him sleep it off or... try again?

Master TMO (Craigh): Mist sickness halves STR and CON, which means Craigh now has a 2 strength

Master TMO (Craigh): and a 4 con

Indigo: We can carry him back and put him to bed

GM: and Licornah loses her access to spells

GM: you can react as appropriate

Raelynn: I think we'll need to carry Craigh, too...

Craigh: mmm fine... itlll passss...

GM: and the others can assist

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What happens to me?

Raelynn: I mean I did this before. He can just go back into the sun, thenback into the Mist. It works, er, provided he can handle enterintg the Mist again.

seyfert (Raelynn): (success so nothing much)

GM: correct for Bixi with the sucess

Licornah : stumbles and struggles

Raelynn: Well, that might actually work for both (Yogurt) and Licornah?

Raelynn: Or they can just... feel misterable for awhile.

Bixi Fizzlebang: blinks, stretches, and smiles a little bit

Licornah : struggles as she tries to communicate with animals around her and hears nothing. The silence is oddly discomforting

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): did we bring the wagon?

seyfert (Raelynn): (Yogurt is not in the tracker so I'm not going to remember his name right now, sorry yogurt)

Bixi Fizzlebang: I feel ok!

GM: Youtargim

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): pile the bodies in the wagon and roll them on home

GM: and yes you have a wagon and a horse

seyfert (Raelynn): (man, you just don't want me to do any human experiments of tossing bodies between timezones; limited to horses)

seyfert (Raelynn): ;)

GM: chcukles

GM: But I will give Branwyn an Intuition check

Craigh: mumbles something unintelligible

Branwyn: [CHECK] Wisdom [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20-1 = 10]

GM: Branwyn can guess by the fact that Licornah still being alive if Mist Sick means she is not from the past even if she does not seem to be from anywhere/when that Branwyn has heard of

GM: Or she would have disapeared like the other people from different times did when they crossed the barrier out of the Inn and into The Mist

Master TMO (Craigh): congrats! You didn't die!

GM: Neither did Youtargim,

Indigo: didn't think they were time travellers

GM: Did you want to try to take the cats out of the courtyard and back to the Manor House

MadamePsychosis: now you didn't make the horse mist sick so I think it would be unfair to make the cats sick

seyfert (Raelynn): thought the cats were just staying there being cats for now

MadamePsychosis: doesn't Licornah want the cats with her? Lorie?

LorieD (Licornah ): (I listed helping cats get home as a thing to do... I would let them run free or with me as they prefer. They aren't my cats, they were Rimal's groupies)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Maybe we should have asked if Rimal wanted us to bring them to him

MadamePsychosis: lol

Master TMO (Craigh): cat groupies... what is the world coming to?

seyfert (Raelynn): (one step closer to heaven)

GM: chuckles

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): He seemed pretty ok without them though

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): They did say they all wanted to go home

Master TMO (Craigh): cult leaders rarely care about their followers

GM: WOW LOL

LorieD (Licornah ): (truth)

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol)

GM: so Carissa and Lisa have cats, do you Lemon?

Master TMO (Craigh): used to

GM: going with a random chance they want to stay in the courtyard rather than travel with the group? or just say one way or the other

seyfert (Raelynn): (Lemon has dogs)

seyfert (Raelynn): (and whichever, doesn't matter to me)

LorieD (Licornah ): (given that there is a supply of food outside the Inn, I think they'd probably stay there) :: shrug::

Master TMO (Craigh): (safer to leave them here probably)

GM: Lorie how do you envision it as part of helping them get home? bring them with? or leave them?

GM: Good enough

GM: the three cats can stay there at the Inn

MadamePsychosis: I was thinking about possible food issues in such a small place but maybe it isn't an issue if bunnies are hopping around waiting to get eaten

GM: we can say that you make arrangements with Gerry for their keep

GM: Well there are horses too

LorieD (Licornah ): (Unless they tell me otherwise, going to leave them where we are. They don't seem to be vegetarians, so it will be helpful to Gerry I would guess)?

LorieD (Licornah ): (If you have other plans, just let me know)

MadamePsychosis: the horses should not be cat food

Master TMO (Craigh): *should*

GM: lacking deer or other creatures....

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Does the food still replenish itself in the inn?

LorieD (Licornah ): (I was thinking rabbits / rats )

GM: The things in containers yes

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's weird.

GM: and it takes a lot of rabbits to fill up a panther

seyfert (Raelynn): (the cats were told there may be limited food there so they would at least know that)

MadamePsychosis: if no one cares what happens to the cats I would almost want to let them loose in the forest so they can run around more

LorieD (Licornah ): (the panther would have liked those dwarves in Pandemonium as a snack)

GM: grins

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You know what, let's leave them there. They had their chance to talk and they chose not to. They can go into this mist if they want to, or they can wait until we come back and tell us if they want to go somewhere else. Let's just tell them we'll be back and if they've figured their shit out by then, we're ready to help them

MadamePsychosis: that could be a compromise Shi gets a cat pack and Yellin a wolf pack :)

seyfert (Raelynn): (LOL)

GM: good enough I think Lemon has it summed up

seyfert (Raelynn): (we can also tell them where we are if they wish to seek us out)

GM: Exactly, between the Elves

GM: you can communicate roughly where you are going

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): "Oh, cats, if you change your mind, we'll see you in Hell!"

Master TMO (Craigh): the dog owner has spoken ;)

GM: LOL

MadamePsychosis: I'm just worried about leaving 3 huge cats in a confined place where Gerry thinks he needs to keep them - he wouldn't open the gates and let them go

seyfert (Raelynn): (Panther: I AM Hell!)

LorieD (Licornah ): (Oh no, I don't want Hell Cats, definitely not on my want list)

GM: Hounds, and Branwyn has plenty

seyfert (Raelynn): (then we also tell Gerry to leave them open and let the cats go if they want)

GM: you want thing-a-ma-bobs she has twenty

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): but who cares? no big deal

LorieD (Licornah ): (Hums along with BOB)

GM: grins

GM: so the cats are solved

MadamePsychosis: so not what I expected on that score

GM: the Mist Sickness has descended upon the chosen ones

MadamePsychosis: almost makes me want to adopt them

Craigh: feels blessed

GM: you can

Carissa: We can?

GM: I am just clicking things off the list

seyfert (Carissa): There's three up for adoption! enough to go around!

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh wants ... 0

Carissa: N'laea wouldn't mind a cat. Moreso because of Craigh.

MadamePsychosis: To make Craigh allergic?

GM: Over th week we will do things on the site but we will have most of it settled at the beginning of the night next week

Carissa: Maybe :)

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: Lorie will be here next week, then the week after she misses

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah when we find a nice small dog that does what you tell it to, Bixi is in. The cats can go around to everyone else

seyfert (Carissa): But also Elven cats can be cool. Although the fiesty panther reminds me of my old cat....

GM: With the list and RP on the site

LorieD (Licornah ): (I don't want any cats, negative cats for me... BOB saddled me with evil cats)

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: things like Licornah wanting to commune with the moons and finding out she cannot properly see them

MadamePsychosis: The kids would love a cat

MadamePsychosis: The leopard seemed good

seyfert (Carissa): lol I was waiting because I thought you would so was trying to not step on toes, but I'd be happy to take one/two/whever

LorieD (Licornah ): (no Moons :: faints :: )

seyfert (Carissa): Dainty leopard for the kids.

LorieD (Licornah ): (Oh goodness, help yourself... I'm a free range animal lover, but no particular love for cats IC / OOC)

seyfert (Carissa): Okay then scratch the leave the cats, we'll adopt them out?

GM: by the end of next session I think you will all be on a new Plane off on the next story arc

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): They seem like great roommates, but terrible pets

LorieD (Licornah ): (Nightshade would make a good pet as long as you feed him LOL )

seyfert (Carissa): So still like my old cat! Man, I miss her, lol

Master TMO (Craigh): Lisa - do you have any scroll requests for the 3 of us to work on?

seyfert (Carissa): She got nicer with her age

GM: Ok so is that a change to taking the cats rather than letting them roam as they wished?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I am allergic IRL so I am not especially drawn to cats

MadamePsychosis: nothing in particular

Master TMO (Craigh): ok

LorieD (Licornah ): (My Mom had cats growing up... and as a result, I'm decidedly pro-dog )

seyfert (Carissa): I'm going with yes? Give the leopard to the kids, try to travel with the other two. If they find somewhere they like, they can stay, but fostering for now?

MadamePsychosis: Bran will try the leopard and if it is a disaster it can go to Valoris wood

Master TMO (Craigh): and then all three poof as soon as they enter the Mist... ;)

seyfert (Carissa): Cat lady stereotype is my dream ;)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Poor Craigh

MadamePsychosis: ARGH!!!

Carissa: lol that works, too

MadamePsychosis: oh thought Bob said that

Master TMO (Craigh): fortunately Craigh doesn't live in Branwyn's manor. :)

seyfert (Carissa): plenty of room still probably in the woods

Master TMO (Craigh): sorry Lisa

LorieD (Licornah ): (That does seem like a BOB device LOL)

MadamePsychosis: lol

Lemon: do elven cats get mist sick?

LorieD (Licornah ): (invest time and love and effort to something and :: snap :: all gone, buh bye)

GM: so you are bundling up the mist sick people into the wagon

GM: and the three cats come strolling out to join you

GM: the panther sniffs the edge, then LEAPS up onto the wagon to sit on the bench

GM: stretches out to perch and guard

Indigo: They probably smell the cheese

N'laea: We may need to get more...

Indigo: I still have all that from Talwin

Indigo: pats his pack

GM: The Leopard comes out, and staggers a bit as it enters The Mist

N'laea: How long do you think it'll last?

GM: Sits down and then back up

GM: and sits down again

Indigo: I dunno. Till we get home. Here you can feed them

GM: the Elven cat watches and seems concerned

Lemon: ha! the leopard is a cursed human cat ghost!

seyfert (N'laea): goes to grab the cat and put it on the wagon

N'laea: goes to grab the cat and put it on the wagon

GM: Cautiously the Elven cat steps out into The Mist and shudders a bit

Lemon: Bixi is keeping her "I told you so" to herself for now

GM: but is walking stiffly, fur raised, but stalking stiffly forward

GM: to go to N'laea

GM: and rub up against to be picked up

N'laea: There you go. It'll wear off soon. And once you feel better, you can have some more cheese.

N'laea: picks her up

N'laea: offers choice of wagon or to be carried

Craigh: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 15]

GM: Wagon

seyfert (N'laea): (oh no, we'll kill Craigh at this point!)

N'laea: places on wagon

GM: and that is where we leave it for the night

GM: Thank you all

Lemon: Ok but wait

GM: we pick up online at the Manor House

GM: yes?

seyfert (Carissa): (one step closer to cat lady success)

MadamePsychosis: Thanks. Goodnight!

seyfert (Carissa): (that's all)

seyfert (Carissa): (Night!)

'MadamePsychosis' disconnected

Lemon: Bixi knows about some herbs to help with allergies at the edge of whatever. I would like to offer that information to Craigh since we are stuck with the cats now

LorieD: (Good night all -- I'm headed to bed)

Master TMO (Craigh): when you get to the next stop, Craigh is lying in the wagon, his face red and swollen, eyes shut, wheezing lightly as he breathes.

seyfert (Carissa): (he's still breathing, he's alive, he'll be fineee, just fineeee)

GM: Yes to Lemon Bixi will be able to try to help the symptoms

seyfert (Carissa): (also note I am the cat lady, Nlaea is just all animals, but will adopt any)

Lemon: I KNOW BOTANY! I CAN FIX THIS Y'ALL!

Master TMO (Craigh): you don't often get to hear someone whistle just taking a breath

Lemon: Maybe YOU don't. It happens to me irl most nights

seyfert (Carissa): (well, I mean, I hear that from myself more than most so... yeah... )

'LorieD' disconnected

Lemon: high fives Carissa

seyfert (Carissa): (anyways, night!)

Lemon: goodnight!

seyfert (Carissa): (breath well!)

Master TMO (Craigh): night everyone

GM: sleep well
