'Lorie' connected

BOB Hey there

Licornah : Evening - good update. No more error codes

BOB Excellent!

Lorie (Licornah ): (OOC) - sorry

BOB Grins, no worries we are learning

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

BOB so Thank You

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

BOB Yeah tonight is a lot of that,

BOB 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

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

BOB and that is ok

BOB 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

BOB Yes to that

BOB 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

BOB step by step we all make it work for us better

Licornah : I remember it being in the Access database though

BOB but you can copy and past in

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

BOB yeap

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

BOB Tonight I will post the chat with only the line breaks added

BOB then tomorrow morning I will run the automated updates

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

BOB it is an easy edit

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lorie: that was helpful

BOB thanks

BOB 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

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

BOB There is none so far, but yes

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

BOB 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

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

BOB grins

BOB They have not been in a dungeon other than the catacombs under Skull Church in like a decade

Lorie: :)

'Michael' connected

BOB Hello Michael

Lorie: Evening

BOB remember do not grab a character yet Michael

BOB just chat away

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

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

BOB Not log out just release the character

Lorie: or remember the ALT+ENTER

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

BOB chuckles

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

Michael: lol

Michael: Outside counsel can have a turn

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

BOB Have you read the updates Michael?

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

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

Lorie: LOL

Michael: And Lorie I so get your world. LOL

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

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

Michael: Ha-ha

BOB zero problems Michael

BOB just wanted to check on where to update you from

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

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

Lorie: splitting the party is ALWAYS the best plan

Lorie: ALWAYS

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

Michael: :)

Lorie: 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

BOB 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 teleported away leaving you here with the other three cats you saved

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

BOB (LINK)

<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.HS-IC4">(LINK)</a>

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

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

Lorie: :)

BOB chuckles

Michael: Wow

Michael: So much

Michael: :)

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

Michael: 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 surprisingly well :)

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

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

BOB Stories are more important

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

Michael: yes! That's it

Michael: Good way to put it bob :)

Lorie: 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

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

Michael: LOL

BOB grins

Michael: What was 1.0 like?

Michael: If you don't mind my asking

Michael: 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 versions

Michael: *Know

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

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

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

Michael: That's pretty awesome! :)

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

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

Lorie: Yes, that's fair BOB

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

Lorie: 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

Michael: 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

Michael: with simpler rules

Lorie: :: nod ::

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

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

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

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

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

Michael: :)

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

Michael: And where an oxford comma was important or not

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

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

Lorie: 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

Lorie: It's like Paranoia but less humor

Lorie: or rather no humor

Michael: Oh, that's no fun :(

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

BOB 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 finished playing their RPG you are about to arrive at Planet X to deliver your trade goods"

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

Michael: LOLOLOL

Michael: Bob

Michael: ha-ha

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

BOB then we would pick up playing a science fiction setting

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

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

Michael: *Know, not run. LOL

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

Lorie: I used to play SR in High School

Lorie: and at GenCon

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

BOB warm smile

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

Lorie: I'm old

BOB HAH

Lorie: I hate Doctor Who

Michael: Hey bob, what's that saying?

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

Michael: Hehe

BOB We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing

Michael: There it is

Lorie: 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.

Michael: 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. :)

Michael: Oh dear god

Michael: That's a ton

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

Lorie: I miss Paranoia...

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

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

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

Michael: LOL BOB

BOB there is a page for that on the site

Lorie: Oh, mind the alligators and the potato trees

BOB we did it on Wednesday nights during the start of the plague

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

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

BOB Michael played a bird? I think?

Lorie: especially as I was rehabbing my wrist

Michael: Oh god. I've forgotten at this point

BOB everyone was a mouse, or bird

Michael: :)

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

BOB was a lot of fun

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

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

BOB grins

Michael: I'll pass....

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

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

Michael: Wait...what?

BOB not sure Lorie, I was not there with you

Michael: You could afford a sub?

Michael: What the hell?

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

'Lisa' connected

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

BOB and Hello Lisa

Michael: Oh thank god

BOB is a new thing for the library

BOB going to do some fun programs

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

Lorie: Evening Lisa

Michael: 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

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

Lisa: Hello! :-)

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

Michael: I'd love to see it :)

BOB I will when I record it

Michael: Also Hi Lisa! I'm so excited to see you again :)

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

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

Michael: ALSO NO

Michael: No more of that damn song

BOB HAH

Lorie: TMac will sing along

Lorie: I need a break from Bruno LOL

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

Lorie: I like the EDM mix

Lisa: Did you change the background color to green?

BOB Yes thank you for noticing Lisa

BOB grins

Lisa: It's nice

BOB I am testing the idea of different backgrounds for different story arcs

Michael: Immersion is cool

Michael: And Lisa, It’s 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 :)

Lisa: lol

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

Michael: :D

Lorie: (remember I'm old) :)

BOB LOL

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

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

Michael: (I had no idea!)

Lorie: Ummm... yes

Michael: LOL

Lorie: pre-backing vocals

Lorie: and no EDM remix

Michael: I'd never heard it before! :) Cool! I learned something new ha-ha

Lorie: 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

Lorie: You need summer camp :)

Lorie: ha ha ha

Lorie: j/k

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

Michael: haha

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

Michael: And yes Bob. I do now haha

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

Michael: And Satellite internet

Lorie: You are committed

'Carissa' connected

BOB Hey there Carissa

Michael: Hi Carissa!

Lorie: Evening Carissa

Carissa: Hello!

Lisa: Hi Carissa!

Michael: That's who Carissa is! Every time 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

BOB I have the scripts that change Carissa to Carissa for the chat logs

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

Michael: So when I'm online and see that she's online, I always am trying to figure 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

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

BOB and now we get to tease Carissa about that

BOB grins

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

Lorie: yeah science1

Lorie: :D

Carissa (Carissa): :)

BOB 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

BOB yes Lorie Carissa is our local Scientist

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

Michael: But Seriously, Carissa does some cool shit

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

BOB DOH

Carissa (Carissa): lol Michael

BOB BUT I have had it up all the time

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

Carissa (Carissa): Unrelated, tonight's low will be -8F. Anyone wanna visit?

'Lemon' connected

BOB OUCH

Lorie: I'm south of Pittsburgh, it's about that warm here... no thanks

Carissa (Carissa): And that's without windchill

Lorie: we had to have our furnace fixed this morning

Carissa (Carissa): lol that's right, you get to experience similar!

BOB Welcome Lemon

Michael: Also High Lemon!

Carissa (Carissa): Hi Lemon!

Lorie: Evening Lemon!

BOB rather than the Low Lemon

Lisa: Hi Lemon!

Lorie (Licornah ): I'm glad I get a break heading to Orlando in a few weeks

Michael: Koosharum doesn't get that bad thankfully. But right now I’m in Phx, so yay me. Sorry Carissa :)

Carissa (Carissa): It's okay. Summer was brutal. I wished for a good cold winter. I did this to myself.

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

Carissa (Carissa): lmao

'TMO' connected

BOB Hello TMO

Michael: Hi TMO!

Lisa: Hi TMO :)

Lorie (Licornah ): Evening TMO :)

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

Carissa (Carissa): Hi TMO!

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

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

BOB smiles

BOB so as everyone is in now

TMO: (finally!)

BOB we are starting with the group with Maya

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

BOB not really Michael

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

Raelynn: finishes speaking

BOB but hang out because we are coming back to you at the Inn later on

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

Michael: (Is that a fat reference :) )

BOB do you want me to copy and paste that Carissa?

Raelynn: (up to you)

Michael: (Talwin is big boned :) )

Carissa (Raelynn): (up to you)

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

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

Michael: LOL

BOB "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?"

Carissa (Raelynn): he's big plated

TMO: size does matter

Michael: oh god bob

Michael: LOL TMO

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

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

Michael: Sucked to lose the armor, but holy crap I forget how hard he hits

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

Craigh: nods

BOB and Licornah can now add her ideas

Raelynn: beams

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

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

BOB (Ouch sorry Lisa)

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

BOB and Licornah is telling her story

Lorie (Licornah ): (blah, blah, blah, prattle, prattle, prattle)

BOB nope

TMO (Craigh): nice try

Lisa (Branwyn): we would like to hear please

TMO (Craigh): spill the juicy deets!

BOB 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 duergar, err, umm, dark dwarves who were mining nearby.

Michael: (Nice!)

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?

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

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

BOB 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

BOB Unicorns? I thought they were semi-extinct?

BOB Have you actually seen one?

Lisa (Branwyn): Maya or GM asking?

BOB DOH

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

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

Maya: Have you actually seen one?

Michael: (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?

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

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

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

Michael: (Vying for control of them all!)

Michael: (Sorry, I get carried away)

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

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

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

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

Michael: (So much leeway. You got this! Make it EPIC)

Michael: (Make)

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

Licornah : Perhaps you know Mileikki?

Maya: Is that a Kingdom?

BOB 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

Lisa (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?

BOB Yes to Carissa

Carissa (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]

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

BOB Rae can say that Mileikki is not an Elven goddess

Carissa (Raelynn): (what about Mystara?)

BOB No clue what that word is

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

BOB What religion is Craigh?

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

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

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

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

Lorie (Licornah ): (Mystara is Forgotten Realms)

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

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

Lorie (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

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

BOB Kayugan

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

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

BOB Ok

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

BOB so then Mileikki has no memory for you

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

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

BOB sure

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

BOB small renegade church makes sense for Craigh

Maya: So many wish to escape farming

Maya: I have always heard that life is hard

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

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

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

BOB 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

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

Carissa (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. (Lemon)

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

'Michael' disconnected

Lorie (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

'Michael' connected

Youtargim [A Comm]: [Translation] Certainly

<font color="##000000">Certainly

[understood by: ]

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

Youtargim [E Comm]: [Translation] Certainly

<font color="##000000">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 languages, 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 languages do cats have?

Youtargim looks at Licornah

Michael: (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: Fascinating, I wonder if there are as many cat tongues as there are human ones

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

User is back. (Lemon)

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

BOB He walks away

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

BOB brb

Raelynn: whispers

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

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

Lorie (Licornah ): Is it a/ action?

Carissa (Raelynn): (ctrl key for actions)

Licornah : nods in agreement with Raelynn

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

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

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

Lisa (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.

Lorie (Licornah ): (Treasure @TMO)

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

Lorie (Licornah ): (Accolades)

Carissa (Raelynn): (go for it)

Lorie (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....

Lisa (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

Carissa (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

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

Branwyn: looks over at Licornah

Lisa (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

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

BOB back

BOB So Branwyn has questions

BOB 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.

BOB 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

BOB 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 ::

BOB Rimal is curled up on Maya's lap purring contently

Licornah : hands Maya the locket

Licornah : Please keep Rimal safe

Maya smiles

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.

Carissa (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

BOB Rimal purrs louder and rolls over smugly

GM: Rimal purrs louder and rolls over smugly

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 sphere 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

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 assistance?

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

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

Carissa (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

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

Youtargim: looks at Rae speculatively

Youtargim She could make me happy

Lisa (Branwyn): lol Carissa

Youtargim: I will be cautiously optimistic 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

Lisa (Branwyn): lol Lemon

Carissa (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 interesting to travel with you and see how you manage things

Lemon: Isn't it the same thing?

Carissa (Raelynn): (lmao)

Carissa (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

BOB Attention? yes that is what Raelynn wants

Carissa (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!

BOB 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

Lisa (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

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

BOB Bows

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

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

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

Lisa (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

Carissa (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

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. (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

Carissa (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.

BOB Michael you still with us right? we are going to jump back to the Inn and Talwin, Bixi and N’laea 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.

Carissa (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

Lisa (Branwyn): and Indigo

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

Branwyn: smiles

BOB 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

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

Lisa (Branwyn): very admiral of you :)

Carissa (Raelynn): (lol nice!)

BOB 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

Lisa (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

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

Licornah : smiles

Michael: (LINK)

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpYHgbjOIq0">(LINK)</a>

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

BOB LOL Michael

Michael: :D

BOB (LINK)

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

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

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

Maya: You will treat Youtagim with the respect he earns

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

Carissa (Raelynn): (I approve)

Branwyn: Of course

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

BOB Nice Michael

Lisa (Branwyn): Yes!

Carissa (Raelynn): (Perfect)

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

BOB AND Scene

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

BOB and back to the Inn

Michael: WHEW

BOB you have three cats, in the courtyard

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

BOB 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 branch 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.

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

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

Michael: (Alright. That was an interesting Scene)

Michael: (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]

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

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

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

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

Michael (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?

BOB 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)

BOB There are the three cats, a horse, two stable boys

Michael (Talwin): Thank you bob

BOB Talwin would have heard in the courtyard

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

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

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

BOB W Comm

Talwin: Bursts through the door, face red

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

BOB no door Talwin in the courtyard

Talwin: voice louder than usual. "N'laea

Talwin: "Are you okay?"

Michael (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

BOB They seem to be training the horse

Talwin: Ponders...Do you ....think they are hungry? We could purchase some food or something. 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

BOB 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

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

N'laea: (test)

BOB 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)

Carissa (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!"

Lisa (Indigo): back

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

N'laea: No...

Lisa (Indigo): Michael - Alt-Enter for OOC

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

Lisa (Indigo): Michael - sigh :)

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

Lisa (Indigo): no obs from my guys

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

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

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

Talwin: Wait Sorry I did it agai8ns!

Michael (Talwin): Dammit

User is back. (TMO)

TMO (Craigh): I hate printers.

N'laea: Hello? Who spoke?

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

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

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

Carissa (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]

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

Carissa (N'laea): (np!)

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

Michael (Talwin): :)

N'laea: (lol)

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

Message of the Day

BOB 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

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

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

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

Michael (Talwin): You fine TMO :)

Michael (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 surprise me"

Talwin: Looks at Wheel. "Winces"

Carissa (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 awkwardly tries to cut the cheese into smaller blocks"

Talwin: "Feel like a proper idiot right now"

Talwin: Chuckles to himself

Talwin: Hands over the first few small pieces

Carissa (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 nothing 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)

BOB 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.

BOB 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."

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

GM: [d12 = 8]

BOB (LOL )

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

BOB 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.

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

BOB 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!

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

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe he just doesn't understand?

Carissa (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.

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

Michael (Talwin): :D

Indigo: You could look

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'll leave that to the professional

Bixi Fizzlebang: glances at N'laea

Carissa (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)

BOB The Elven cat rolls over sprawled on its back

BOB spreading it's legs

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

BOB definitely 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

BOB (that was the Elven cat)

Indigo: HEY! Bad cat!

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

BOB The Panther sits and watches

BOB again BOWS

Michael (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?

Lemon (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

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

Michael (Talwin): Dammit!

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

GM: Chuckles with Michael

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

Michael (Talwin): There we go

BOB shift control when you type

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

Michael (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

Michael (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

Michael (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 Murmurs

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 successful

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 : [Translation] Humans are so odd....

<font color="##000000">Humans are so odd....

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

Talwin Knows N'laea well enough 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)

Carissa (N'laea): (lol 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... mischievous 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 disappeared

Talwin Nods in understanding.

Carissa (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

BOB 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

BOB 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: Never mind. 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 might be some to the south of the desert lands

Carissa (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

BOB 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

BOB and good for the group in the courtyard of the Inn?

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

Michael (Talwin): But can continue

BOB back to the group in the courtyard in Hiyal?

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

BOB for Branwyn and group

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

Lemon (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

Lisa (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.

BOB 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?)

TMO (Craigh): TPK?

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

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

Lisa (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)

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

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

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

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

Michael (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

BOB Oh well

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

BOB Yeap I looked at those too Lisa, grins

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

BOB apparently

BOB 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 Side-eyes 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

Lorie: 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

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

Youtargim: Do you take them many places with you?

Carissa (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 going to hell?

Talwin: ....

Talwin: I mean

Lorie: 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?

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

Carissa (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

Michael (Talwin): LOLOLOL

Youtargim: How mean is that librarian?

Talwin: Oh boy

Branwyn: laughs

Craigh: Devilishly mean.

Talwin: Is to die for

Youtargim Nice

Carissa (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

Lorie: (word)

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

Michael (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 more pleasant

Branwyn: cloak

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

Michael (Talwin): lol

Youtargim looks over at Rae at the mention of Elven goddesses

Lisa (Branwyn): we will get there

Carissa (N'laea): (think it’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.

Michael (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!

BOB I cannot believe no one followed up with the quote

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

Carissa (Raelynn): (the quote?)

BOB Rae, if someone asks if you are a god......

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

Michael (Talwin): LOL BOB

TMO (Craigh): throws something at Florida

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

BOB Come on that is the quote of the night

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

Carissa (Raelynn): (lol)

Michael (Talwin): LOL

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

BOB and that one went over my head

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

BOB Ahhh

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

Lorie: (John would know it )

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

BOB I think Carissa and Michael did too

Carissa (Raelynn): (no)

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

Talwin: I love musicals ;)

Michael (Talwin): Oops

Michael (Talwin): Pretend I said that OOC

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

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

BOB brb

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

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

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

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

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

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

Carissa (Raelynn): *if

Indigo: who leveled and needs training?

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

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

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

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

Lemon (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?

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is that possible?

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

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Learn or memorize?

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

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

Carissa (Raelynn): (yep)

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

Lisa: learn

Lisa: training is a different thing for mages

Lorie (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?)

BOB back

Raelynn: (yep still what's done)

Lemon (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?

Lisa: what issues did you have in mind Bob?

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

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

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

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

Lisa: that's the priesty anchor weighing you down

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

Lisa: too many spells

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

Carissa (Raelynn): (lol)

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

TMO (Craigh): is this the illusionist Lemon?

Lemon (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

TMO (Craigh): dangit 1

Lisa: 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

BOB 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?

Lemon (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...

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

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

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

Lisa: 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

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

BOB Yes you are heading to a new Plane of Someplace

BOB How will you find out how to get there?

Lemon (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

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

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

Lorie (Licornah ): Alter Self?

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

BOB so Bixi is now a 6th level Illusionist

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

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

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm thinking maybe wraith form?

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

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

BOB no new spell level

Licornah : applauds Bixi

Carissa (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

Save for spell improved to 10

Arcane spellcasting level is now 6

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 ___

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh hello error box

BOB and not sure if everyone else saw that

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

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

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

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

Lemon (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?

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

BOB I do like how the program handles everything automatically for you

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

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): what

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

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

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

Lisa: oh her training is 4th lvl spells?

BOB no need for more training

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

BOB she does not get a new spell level,

Lisa: ohhhh

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

Lisa: forget all that then

BOB only additional spells

BOB Yes to Carissa

Lisa: only ones that are in books or scrolls

BOB but wanted to walk through it step by step

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

Carissa (Raelynn): (okay got it)

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

BOB so that Lemon understood what was happening

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

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

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

Lisa: who leveled that actually needs training?

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

Carissa (Raelynn): (Lanek for thief)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): real life

BOB Lanek has a thief level

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

Lisa: ok

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

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?

BOB No no new spells for free

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

BOB no

BOB right now she is leveled up

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

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

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

Carissa (Raelynn): (this is why I still use KloOge to look, lol)

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

Lisa: xp isn't going there anymore :(

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

BOB including figuring out where the where ever is

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

TMO (Craigh): dangit 2

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

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

BOB there we go thank you TMO

BOB That is a thing to put on the list

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

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

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

BOB We get to that later Lemon

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

BOB knowing you what you want to do first

TMO (Craigh): where is the list?

BOB so we can have the list and work on it

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

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

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

BOB so we can organize it all

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

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

BOB 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

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

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

BOB OR we have one list and it all goes step by step

TMO (Craigh): Where is the list?

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

Lorie (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)

BOB no one has made one yet TMO

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

Lemon (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?

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

BOB for Michael with his Grand Mastery for example

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

BOB so we know that is a thing

Lemon (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.

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

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

BOB You have 2 level three spells Lemon

Michael (Talwin): Not a bad idea Lisa.

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

Talwin: alright

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh

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

Talwin: Bob, good for Lisa for Bran?

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

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

Michael: just release my character for now

Lisa: or a elf book that she can read

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

Lisa: that is all for my characters

Michael: Cool beans

Michael: TMO your up buddy

Michael: What do you want to do with your characters

Michael: Sorry for the hustle, I’m getting tired :)

BOB it is good Michael, thank you for taking charge

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

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

Michael: 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?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): dangit 1

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

Michael: Sweet

BOB 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

Michael: Carissa, you up

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

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

Lemon (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

BOB it brings up your XP with the log of awards

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

Carissa (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

Michael: Sweet. Anything else Carissa? I got be honest, between you and bran, you guys have ethe most fleshed out characters, why I’m asking haha

Michael: Not trying to be an ass, I swear

BOB 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

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

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

Carissa (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?)

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 :)

Carissa (Carissa): (N’laea will always be trying to learn a new language)

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

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

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

TMO (Craigh): the task you want to do

Michael: Was that all for Nyla?

Michael: Is what I think he meant?

Lemon: How do you learn more languages?

Michael: Anything else you wanted?

Michael: (Just training point Lemon)

Michael: (And a teacher)

Michael: (sorry, proficiency point)

Lemon: what

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

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

Michael: We'll help every step of the way

Carissa (Carissa): (Yes, languages proficiency 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!

BOB When you have an open Non Weapon Proficiency slot you can pick a new language to learn just like learning to swim, etc.

Lemon: ohhhhh

Lemon: how do I get those?

BOB going up in level

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

Lemon: cool

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

Lemon: thank you

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

Michael: My turn

Michael: 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

Michael: I am done

Michael: Lemon you up! :)

Michael: 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

Michael: Cool

Michael: It is written in the book of eternity

Michael: Who am I missing

Michael: Spring is not here therefore skipping her for now

TMO (Craigh): Licornah

Michael: DOH

Michael: I am so sorry

Michael: You're up! :)

Michael: 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

Lorie: 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

Michael: Wow

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

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

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

Michael: It shall be done

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

Michael: Sure, add that too haha :)

Michael: Are we square everyone?

Michael: Speak now

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

Michael: Alright. Bob all good?

BOB 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

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

TMO (Craigh): nods

BOB 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

Michael: Spring has spoken via proxy haha :)

Branwyn: Branwyn

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

Michael: Or is my part over?

Michael: Sorry :)

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

BOB So she needs information from the elves

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

BOB HAH no one else knows Publix

Branwyn: Sehanine Moonbow

Lorie: (We miss Publix oddly enough)

Michael: (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?)

BOB but Carissa what information do you have about where that is

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

Branwyn: Goodnight Michael!

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

Lorie: (Night Michael)

Carissa (Carissa): (night Michael!)

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

BOB Night

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

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

'Michael' disconnected

BOB Yes to Lisa

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

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

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

Carissa (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)

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

Craigh: (LINK)

<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DragonslayerTrainingPlans">(LINK)</a>

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

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

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

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

BOB But the Elves have talked about it on the site in stories, etc.

Lisa: not sure you have to know this instant

BOB yes to Lisa

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

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

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

BOB no need to roll Lorie

BOB it would be something you know as a priestess,

Lorie (Licornah ): (LOL)

Licornah : Anything I know about her, I offer up

BOB thank you

Craigh: (LINK)

BOB so my question becomes where do you do this research

BOB Branwyn has a tower and library etc.

BOB you can all go to the manor house

Lisa: Nice TMO! Thanks

BOB Thank you TMO

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

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

BOB (LINK)

<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DragonslayerTrainingPlans">(LINK)</a>

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

BOB See if that works better?

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

Lisa: click on the shield thing

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

BOB It did not have the shield for me

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

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

BOB 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

BOB so we will see how it is next week

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

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

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

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

BOB ouch still Lisa

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

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

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

Lisa: good!

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

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

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

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

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

BOB nods

Lisa: Youtargim?

Lorie (Licornah ): (Prince Yogurt)

Lisa: LOL

BOB Is why I bring it up

BOB and LOL

Lorie (Licornah ): (LOL)

Carissa (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.

BOB 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!

BOB (LINK)

<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Drillian-TheMist">(LINK)</a>

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

Lisa (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]

Lorie (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]

Lisa (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]

BOB 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]

Carissa (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]

Lisa (Howard Plum): was health but we don't have it FG

N'laea: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 8]

BOB you rolled Dex Lorie

Raelynn: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 6]

Licornah : let me do again

Lemon (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]

Carissa (Raelynn): (first time Mist entrance is another hit, right?)

Raelynn: takes a deep breath

BOB Yes to Carissa

Raelynn: Okay. That wasn't too bad.

Lisa: So Bran and Indigo are fine and Howard is sick

TMO (Craigh): and Craigh dies :D

BOB 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]

Carissa (Raelynn): (0??)

Lisa: 0?

TMO (Craigh): ???

BOB chuckles

TMO (Craigh): he's cheating again

BOB Just experimenting with the new abilities

Lisa: lol

Carissa (Raelynn): (not human, I told you!! ;) )

Youtargim: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 10] [d20 = 19]

Lorie (Licornah ): (no, no, it's not cheating when BOB does it, it's HOUSE rules)

Lemon (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]

Carissa (Raelynn): (I mean these rolls are all pretty suspect)

Lorie (Licornah ): (he's from Al-Qadim, he's not normal)

Youtargim: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 8] [d20 = 17]

BOB So there is a new possibility if I do wish to use it

BOB 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?

TMO (Craigh): Mist sickness halves STR and CON, which means Craigh now has a 2 strength

TMO (Craigh): and a 4 con

Indigo: We can carry him back and put him to bed

BOB and Licornah loses her access to spells

BOB you can react as appropriate

Raelynn: I think we'll need to carry Craigh, too...

Craigh: mmm fine... itlll passss...

BOB and the others can assist

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What happens to me?

Raelynn: I mean I did this before. He can just go back into the sun, then back into the Mist. It works, er, provided he can handle entering the Mist again.

Carissa (Raelynn): (success so nothing much)

BOB correct for Bixi with the success

Licornah : stumbles and struggles

Raelynn: Well, that might actually work for both (Yogurt) and Licornah?

Raelynn: Or they can just... feel miserable 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

Lisa (Indigo): did we bring the wagon?

Carissa (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!

BOB Youtargim

Lisa (Indigo): pile the bodies in the wagon and roll them on home

BOB and yes you have a wagon and a horse

Carissa (Raelynn): (man, you just don't want me to do any human experiments of tossing bodies between time zones; limited to horses)

Carissa (Raelynn): ;)

BOB chuckles

BOB 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]

BOB 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

BOB Or she would have disappeared like the other people from different times did when they crossed the barrier out of the Inn and into The Mist

TMO (Craigh): congrats! You didn't die!

BOB Neither did Youtargim,

Indigo: didn't think they were time travelers

BOB Did you want to try to take the cats out of the courtyard and back to the Manor House

Lisa: now you didn't make the horse mist sick so I think it would be unfair to make the cats sick

Carissa (Raelynn): thought the cats were just staying there being cats for now

Lisa: doesn't Licornah want the cats with her? Lorie?

Lorie (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)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Maybe we should have asked if Rimal wanted us to bring them to him

Lisa: lol

TMO (Craigh): cat groupies... what is the world coming to?

Carissa (Raelynn): (one step closer to heaven)

BOB chuckles

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): He seemed pretty ok without them though

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): They did say they all wanted to go home

TMO (Craigh): cult leaders rarely care about their followers

BOB WOW LOL

Lorie (Licornah ): (truth)

Carissa (Raelynn): (lol)

BOB so Carissa and Lisa have cats, do you Lemon?

TMO (Craigh): used to

BOB 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

Carissa (Raelynn): (Lemon has dogs)

Carissa (Raelynn): (and whichever, doesn't matter to me)

Lorie (Licornah ): (given that there is a supply of food outside the Inn, I think they'd probably stay there) :: shrug::

TMO (Craigh): (safer to leave them here probably)

BOB Lorie how do you envision it as part of helping them get home? bring them with? or leave them?

BOB Good enough

BOB the three cats can stay there at the Inn

Lisa: 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

BOB we can say that you make arrangements with Gerry for their keep

BOB Well there are horses too

Lorie (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)?

Lorie (Licornah ): (If you have other plans, just let me know)

Lisa: the horses should not be cat food

TMO (Craigh): *should*

BOB lacking deer or other creatures....

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Does the food still replenish itself in the inn?

Lorie (Licornah ): (I was thinking rabbits / rats )

BOB The things in containers yes

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's weird.

BOB and it takes a lot of rabbits to fill up a panther

Carissa (Raelynn): (the cats were told there may be limited food there so they would at least know that)

Lisa: 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

Lorie (Licornah ): (the panther would have liked those dwarves in Pandemonium as a snack)

BOB grins

Lemon (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

Lisa: that could be a compromise Shi gets a cat pack and Yellin a wolf pack :)

Carissa (Raelynn): (LOL)

BOB good enough I think Lemon has it summed up

Carissa (Raelynn): (we can also tell them where we are if they wish to seek us out)

BOB Exactly, between the Elves

BOB you can communicate roughly where you are going

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): "Oh, cats, if you change your mind, we'll see you in Hell!"

TMO (Craigh): the dog owner has spoken ;)

BOB LOL

Lisa: 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

Carissa (Raelynn): (Panther: I AM Hell!)

Lorie (Licornah ): (Oh no, I don't want Hell Cats, definitely not on my want list)

BOB Hounds, and Branwyn has plenty

Carissa (Raelynn): (then we also tell Gerry to leave them open and let the cats go if they want)

BOB you want thing-a-ma-bobs she has twenty

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): but who cares? no big deal

Lorie (Licornah ): (Hums along with BOB)

BOB grins

BOB so the cats are solved

Lisa: so not what I expected on that score

BOB the Mist Sickness has descended upon the chosen ones

Lisa: almost makes me want to adopt them

Craigh: feels blessed

BOB you can

Carissa: We can?

BOB I am just clicking things off the list

Carissa (Carissa): There's three up for adoption! enough to go around!

TMO (Craigh): Craigh wants ... 0

Carissa: N'laea wouldn't mind a cat. Moreso because of Craigh.

Lisa: To make Craigh allergic?

BOB Over the 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 :)

Lisa: lol

BOB Lorie will be here next week, then the week after she misses

Lemon (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

Carissa (Carissa): But also Elven cats can be cool. Although the feisty panther reminds me of my old cat....

BOB With the list and RP on the site

Lorie (Licornah ): (I don't want any cats, negative cats for me... BOB saddled me with evil cats)

Lisa: lol

BOB things like Licornah wanting to commune with the moons and finding out she cannot properly see them

Lisa: The kids would love a cat

Lisa: The leopard seemed good

Carissa (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/whoever

Lorie (Licornah ): (no Moons :: faints :: )

Carissa (Carissa): Dainty leopard for the kids.

Lorie (Licornah ): (Oh goodness, help yourself... I'm a free range animal lover, but no particular love for cats IC / OOC)

Carissa (Carissa): Okay then scratch the leave the cats, we'll adopt them out?

BOB by the end of next session I think you will all be on a new Plane off on the next story arc

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): They seem like great roommates, but terrible pets

Lorie (Licornah ): (Nightshade would make a good pet as long as you feed him LOL )

Carissa (Carissa): So still like my old cat! Man, I miss her, lol

TMO (Craigh): Lisa - do you have any scroll requests for the 3 of us to work on?

Carissa (Carissa): She got nicer with her age

BOB Ok so is that a change to taking the cats rather than letting them roam as they wished?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I am allergic IRL so I am not especially drawn to cats

Lisa: nothing in particular

TMO (Craigh): ok

Lorie (Licornah ): (My Mom had cats growing up... and as a result, I'm decidedly pro-dog )

Carissa (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?

Lisa: Bran will try the leopard and if it is a disaster it can go to Valoris wood

TMO (Craigh): and then all three poof as soon as they enter the Mist... ;)

Carissa (Carissa): Cat lady stereotype is my dream ;)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Poor Craigh

Lisa: ARGH!!!

Carissa: lol that works, too

Lisa: oh thought Bob said that

TMO (Craigh): fortunately Craigh doesn't live in Branwyn's manor. :)

Carissa (Carissa): plenty of room still probably in the woods

TMO (Craigh): sorry Lisa

Lorie (Licornah ): (That does seem like a BOB device LOL)

Lisa: lol

Lemon: do elven cats get mist sick?

Lorie (Licornah ): (invest time and love and effort to something and :: snap :: all gone, buh bye)

BOB so you are bundling up the mist sick people into the wagon

BOB and the three cats come strolling out to join you

BOB the panther sniffs the edge, then LEAPS up onto the wagon to sit on the bench

BOB 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

BOB The Leopard comes out, and staggers a bit as it enters The Mist

N'laea: How long do you think it'll last?

BOB Sits down and then back up

BOB and sits down again

Indigo: I dunno. Till we get home. Here you can feed them

BOB the Elven cat watches and seems concerned

Lemon: ha! the leopard is a cursed human cat ghost!

Carissa (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

BOB 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

BOB but is walking stiffly, fur raised, but stalking stiffly forward

BOB to go to N'laea

BOB 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]

BOB Wagon

Carissa (N'laea): (oh no, we'll kill Craigh at this point!)

N'laea: places on wagon

BOB and that is where we leave it for the night

BOB Thank you all

Lemon: Ok but wait

BOB we pick up online at the Manor House

BOB yes?

Carissa (Carissa): (one step closer to cat lady success)

Lisa: Thanks. Goodnight!

Carissa (Carissa): (that's all)

Carissa (Carissa): (Night!)

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

Lorie: (Good night all -- I'm headed to bed)

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.

Carissa (Carissa): (he's still breathing, he's alive, he'll be fineee, just fineeee)

BOB Yes to Lemon Bixi will be able to try to help the symptoms

Carissa (Carissa): (also note I am the cat lady, N’laea is just all animals, but will adopt any)

Lemon: I KNOW BOTANY! I CAN FIX THIS Y'ALL!

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

Carissa (Carissa): (well, I mean, I hear that from myself more than most so... yeah... )
