BOB Hello

'Lisa' connected

BOB Hello there

Lisa: Hello! Warning I am drinking tonight

Lisa: :)

BOB Good

Lisa: Having a group play of this really crappy game and so I said I would only play it intoxicated so have been drinking every night and hoping I can finish it tonight after this

Lisa: I have been leaving my daily reports under the influence. It is seriously pissing off the guy who thinks this is the best game ever. So that makes it even more fun

BOB chuckles

'Lorie' connected

BOB Hello Lorie

Lisa: Hi Lorie!

Lorie: Good evening - hope it's warmer where you all are

Lorie: How are you?

Lisa: High 60s and windy here

Lorie: we barely broke 20, but ... thankfully, I am not near where the bridge collapsed

Lisa: Yikes that is cold

BOB That sucks and very good

Lorie: Hey BOB

Lisa: But glad you weren't near a bridge collapse

Lorie: How are things?

'Lemon' connected

BOB Hey Lemon

Lorie: Evening!

Lisa: Hi Lemon!

'Carissa' connected

BOB and now Carissa, my favorite scientist arrives

Lisa: Hi Carissa!

Lemon: This is no place for science

Lorie: ??? Science belongs EVERYWHERE :)

Lorie: Sort of like second, third and fourth languages :)

Lemon: I mean, I agree with you, but BOB is in charge, not me

Lemon: And he repeatedly defies science

Lorie: Shhh... you're good to let him believe that.

Lemon: lol

Carissa: hello!

BOB chuckles

BOB I am here, tonight we want to end up with being able to jump to your destination at the beginning of next week

Lisa: ok

Lorie: That works, I'll be at the destination next Friday...

BOB yes to Lorie Licornah will be there when they arrive

Lorie: my destination will just include a giant golf ball

Lorie: LOL

Lorie: 1 round behind as usual?

BOB grins

Lemon: What if we just go totally rogue and decide to do something completely different?

Lorie: That has NEVER ever happened

BOB HAH

Lisa: theoretically if Branwyn learns how to program the amulet we can go wherever we want

BOB yes

Lemon: Like, what if we just decide to go on one of those office retreat things that people do to build morale or whatever, and we just take a vacation and play awkward ice breakers for the next five sessions?

Lorie: Hi I'm Lorie and I like lemons and lived in Lake City

Lorie: Do I win?

Lorie: :: Laughs ::

BOB LOL

Lemon: How could you say lemons when I AM Lemon!? You stole mine! (Insert workplace drama)

Lorie: Well, I am an actual fan of lemons LOL

Lorie: :: takes giant ball of string and tosses to Lemon :: you're up!

Lemon: lol! My real life name is Rhiannon and I always said I liked radishes because that's the only thing I could ever come up with when on the spot, but I am allergic to them actually

Lorie: Oh that would be sad... I giant watermelon radish is a good thing

Lemon: I am also allergic to coconut which seems to absolutely devastate other people, but the few times I've accidentally had it, I didn't even like it

Lorie: Rhubarb?

Lorie: Ruffles?

Lemon: Oooh, I do like rhubarb, especially in pie

Lorie: Ricotta?

Lemon: ruffles are meh

Lorie: Ricola?

Lorie: (with an H even)

Lemon: Going to place all these answers in my back pocket for the next stupid icebreaker I have to do

Lorie: I was trying to see how many we could combine

Lemon: ranch!

Lemon: risotto

BOB yuck

BOB to Ranch

Lemon: rocks! not to eat, but to look at

Lorie: Risotto with Lemon and Mushrooms... yum!

BOB Because you are not a dwarf

Lemon: correct!

Lemon: Although my picture kind of looks like one

Lemon: <----

Lemon: I'm ready to be serious whenever, for the record.

BOB I am here to listen and answer

BOB Lorie you saw the comment about the Inn and Gerry and Mistsickness

Lorie: Ummmmm... sort of, I took a post work pre-game nap because of reasons

Lorie: But it looks like I need to edit him out

BOB Naps are good

Lemon: Well if we're hanging around chilling at Branwyn's right now, I might try to learn wraith form, since that's in Branwyn's books?

Lorie: Oh, I wrote as if we were snapping fingers and moving things along

BOB Both to Lemon and Lorie

Lemon: I have not caught up on everything today, because reasons

Lorie: And in very interesting news

Lorie: Some Broward man just texted me and asked if I wanted to go on a date tonight... he thinks I'm a guy he met on Tinder

Lorie: :: sighs ::

BOB lol

Lorie: things only someone who lived in So FL would realize

Lorie: In any case, wandering and wondering the evening along

BOB Yes to Lemon Bixi can learn that spell over the next few weeks

BOB Yes to Lorie about learning more things here

BOB How long did the group want to wait before leaving for wherever?

Lemon: Long enough to try to learn my spell. Otherwise I have no plans

Carissa: no preference

BOB Ideas Lisa?

BOB (LINK)

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

BOB for what we have so far

Lisa: I updated the party pack - Carissa is there anything special we need to bring for this adventure?

Carissa: nothing I've been able to think of

Lorie: Does the party pack have holy water?

Lisa: no

Carissa: but I'll double check now

Lorie: extra holy symbols

Lisa: priests usually carry their own

Lorie: scrolls of make friends with evil

BOB no to extra holy symbols

Lisa: we have never found any loose extras lying around

Lorie: scrolls of make evil go away

Lisa: (LINK)

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

BOB and for holy water there is an elven font in the Valoris Wood if you make friends with the other elves

Lorie: Since I'm locationally challenged, does that require Mistsickness?

BOB no

Lorie: (Thanks for sharing Party Pack link)

Carissa: (once sec, phone call)

Carissa: (how do I afk??)

BOB The only place where you cannot go locally is the Inn

Lisa: My characters don't really have anything to do. If the party pack is okay then that is good. Bran is supposed to read the amulet book but since it isn't a real book I can't read it to make sure she learns it :-)

Lorie: (oddly slash afk = bak)

Lorie: I can go make friends with elves if there is time.... along with the other tasks as I can

Lisa: glad that link worked!

BOB when Carissa gets back Lorie you two can work on that

Lorie: :: nods ::

Lisa: Lemon - do you want to roll for your spell?

Lemon: sure, what do I roll again?

BOB Lorie and Lisa and Lemon how far into the future do you want to advance things?

Lisa: as little as possible?

Lisa: we keep advancing time - we will be elderly adventurers before long

BOB laughs

Lisa: well not the elves

BOB This is true

Lorie: I don't really have a dog in the fight BOB, I don't have to train... I don't really know where we're going.

Lemon: I will be around for a long time, too, but I will be more likely to break a hip

Branwyn: lol

BOB Licornah and Branwyn can talk

BOB and when Bixi wants to join in

BOB will be a good thing

Branwyn: I was trying to figure out how to add a spell and think I screwed up my own page

BOB I can check

BOB what spell?

Lemon: I also had a prank I wanted to do while we were hanging around, but the one-armed man isn't here so it would be pointless

Lisa (Branwyn): Lemon wanted to learn wraith form - guess needs to roll for it first and then add

Lisa (Branwyn): wish there was an undo button

BOB grins

BOB you can delete

Licornah : Ctrl+z only works so much magic :(

Lisa (Branwyn): no formatting - had them all by level and now is this weird list and options are gone

Branwyn: [CHECK] Learn Spell [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 95) [FAILURE by 3] [d100-1 = 98]

Lemon: oh no

Branwyn: that's it

Lorie (Licornah ): (Makes me long for the day you gave sphere or school and there was a nice access database list)

Lisa (Branwyn): On your main page 4th box on the INT row is learn. Grab that and roll the dice to learn it

BOB so are you saying that Branwyn does not know Wraithform?

Bixi Fizzlebang: [7 = 7]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [7 = 7]

Bixi Fizzlebang: what

Lisa (Branwyn): wow did I just fail on a 95? good thing I'm not learning spells lol

BOB chuckles

Lisa (Branwyn): that was odd

Bixi Fizzlebang: I can't figure out how to roll it, it just keeps dragging my level over

Lisa (Branwyn): no she does not but it's in a book in the library

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CHECK] Learn Spell (vs. Target 65) [SUCCESS by 61] [d100 = 4]

Branwyn: Sweet!

Lisa (Branwyn): you can start rolling for Howard

Bixi Fizzlebang: lol

Lorie (Licornah ): ((Ooh... I now have 17 zip folders on my desktop :( )

Bixi Fizzlebang: Now how do I add it to my list?

Lisa (Branwyn): Oh no!!

BOB I will

BOB and that sucks Lorie

Lorie (Licornah ): (plus 10 more)

Lemon: I was going to organize my spell list this week but I got sick and did basically nothing

Lisa (Branwyn): does FG randomly pick who to attack each week?

BOB LOL

Lorie (Licornah ): (it looks like it's trying to replicate my desktop folder from windows :( )

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

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

Licornah : [CHECK] (vs. Target 3) [NOT-SURPRISED by 1] [d6 = 4]

Lorie (Licornah ): (whoops - mis click)

Lemon: at least your mis clicks don't steal identities

Lorie (Licornah ): (true, we get monthly phishing checks at work for that)

GM: LOL

'TMO' connected

Lemon: That one was on purpose

Lorie (Licornah ): (the URL literally says "you are being scammed" and people still click on it)

Lemon: people don't read. I know this from retail and food service. They do not read anything no matter how big and bright and in the way you make it]

Lisa (Branwyn): I need TMO

BOB Added Wraithform to Bixi's sheet

Lemon: thank you!

BOB had to find the right book

TMO: I am here

Lisa: was it in the book?

Lisa: Hi TMO! :D

BOB Hello TMO

Lemon: oh wow, the TMO bat signal works!

Lisa: Nice dinner?

BOB Yes to Lisa

Craigh: It wasn't bad

TMO (Craigh): how can I help?

Lorie (Licornah ): (Evening TMO)

TMO (Craigh): lol - it's saving FGU log zip files to my desktop...

TMO (Craigh): 3 small ones

Lisa: oh I screwed up my spell list display and have no clue how to fix it - no rush for you to help

Lorie (Licornah ): (Yeah, I feel less loved if it's happening to you)

Lemon: still no zips here

TMO (Craigh): I have joined the voice channel. you should be able to show me there. just whenever you like, no prob

Lisa (Branwyn): thx

TMO (Craigh): so what are we in the middle of?

Carissa: sorry back

Carissa: hi TMO!

Branwyn: waiting for Carissa to get back for elf chat

Lemon: Pretty much nothing aside from the crisis Lisa is having with her spells

TMO (Craigh): let the elfiness begin!

Carissa: man even beat Lisa typing when AFK

Branwyn: I was trying to help with adding to char sheet - bad idea

Branwyn: LOL

Lemon: I appreciate the way you suffer for me

BOB warm smile

Branwyn: lol

BOB we have four elves here now

Carissa: four? where?

Carissa: I'm still double checking party pack

BOB Carissa has three, Lorie has one

Lemon: Remind me which of TMOs characters is missing an arm?

Carissa: Yeah but not sure Shi would bother right now depending on whatever is the setting

BOB and then Lisa TMO and BOB have other characters to add in commentary

Carissa: unless it's morning meeting or something... three is a lot to juggle :P

BOB you can make it a morning meeting? or the after morning meeting second breakfast

Carissa: someone's gonna have to help start that one, limited sleep and I gave my settings earlier this week ;)

Carissa: (and second confirmation, I see nothing else to add to party pack)

User has gone AFK. (TMO)

Branwyn: thx

Lisa: Craigh is the one armed man

Spell: Gift of Speech

Lisa: I didn't do that

Youtargim: Hello there

Lemon: I did that

Lisa: I don' think

Youtargim: (I did )

Lisa: aha

Lemon: I was just thinking it would have been nice to have noticed that one when we were talking to the cats

Carissa (Carissa): (actually last minute thought is anything pretty art artifact we haven't sold may be useful if we have to trade with anyone)

Youtargim: So do we get this kind of breakfast every day?

Lisa: sounds good - will look for before we leave

Indigo: I don't eat here every day but yeah I think so

Youtargim: Where do you eat?

Indigo: You don't like it? Better not say that too loud or Jilly might hit you with a spoon

Youtargim: I am not sure of how I fit in quite yet

N'laea: It is good, but... too heavy.

Youtargim: I like this,

Youtargim: strange foreign food is always interesting to try

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's one of my favorite things about when we stay here!

Indigo: You don't have to eat it all

Raelynn: It's soooo good!

N'laea: It is not just the portions, but... just how do you eat so many cinnamon buns? A bite is more than enough.

Youtargim: So that mist sickness thing was horrible

Youtargim: how do you guys get through it?

Youtargim: Is that what this is?

N'laea: The first time is always the worst.

Youtargim: takes a big bite

Bixi Fizzlebang: I could eat cinnamon buns all day

Raelynn: suddenly debating how big of a bite and how many cinnamon buns to eat

Youtargim: You do have interesting meals

Youtargim: almost as good as the palace

Raelynn: What do you normally eat?

Youtargim: Dates, yogurt, and ground grains for breakfast

N'laea: That does not sound bad at all.

Youtargim: Your chef is very good

Youtargim: the Princess will be interested

N'laea: Jilly? She does seem to get compliments often.

Youtargim: So where are you... people? family? what do you think of your selves?

N'laea: Friends. I cannot speak for them, though.

Indigo: I don't understand what you're asking

Indigo: Where are my people?

Youtargim: Where I am from, I work for the Princess

Youtargim: but so far you all seem to work for no one?

Carissa (N'laea): (ooops thought he said what are)

N'laea: I work for my god.

N'laea: Followed by my clan.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I work to keep nature safe and right now I'm... following? Branwyn, since

Tiberius Branadarus: Well I am family

Branwyn: I serve our Queen and am responsible for this estate. But everyone at this table are here because we are friends as N'laea says and we go on adventures together

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): wtf

Branwyn: Of course you are darling

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): let me try that again?

Tiberius Branadarus: Indigo is family

Carissa (Raelynn): (yes because I saw nothing?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was trying to delete and retype

Carissa (Raelynn): (saw you typing, but nothing)

Branwyn: smiles at Indigo

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, I accidentally whispered somehow?

Carissa (Raelynn): (very possible)

Bixi Fizzlebang: I work to protect nature and right now... I'm not technically WORKING FOR Branwyn but kind of... following? Our goals seem to align a lot, and also I'm writing ghost stories.

Raelynn: And sometimes our gods want us to go where our friends go so it works out!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ghosts are one of nature's biggest enemies, as far as I can tell right now.

Bixi Fizzlebang: nods confidently

N'laea: That is... an interesting take.

Indigo: Have you ever seen a real ghost?

Tiberius Branadarus: The only ghosts I have seen have been horrible people so yes I agree with Bixi that ghosts are enemies

Bixi Fizzlebang: Not yet, just a lot of half-ghosts so far

Bixi Fizzlebang: Half-ghosts can go either way.

Indigo: What ghosts have you seen Branadarus?

Tiberius Branadarus: Someone told me once that they were misunderstood, that they lost their way on their way to the afterlife

Tiberius Branadarus: but I think a good sword can help them find their way there again

Tiberius Branadarus: OH I fought a ghost in a wheat field once

N'laea: Er, meaning to kill them?

Tiberius Branadarus: It was a horrible vision

Tiberius Branadarus: I kept on slashing and it would not go

Bixi Fizzlebang: takes notes

Tiberius Branadarus: until Otught cast something and made it disappear

Tiberius Branadarus: He said it was absolved of its sins and let free to return to where it should go

Tiberius Branadarus: looks over at the Elves

Tiberius Branadarus: Licornah, N'laea do you have ghosts?

Tiberius Branadarus: So far I have only seen human ghosts

Tiberius Branadarus: but there must be Elven ghosts too right?

Licornah : :: looks up from her journal :: we have spirits... we commune with them and give thanks for their lives

Tiberius Branadarus: OH Indigo! did you have ghosts back home?

Licornah : :: returns to writing in her journal ::

Youtargim: Are you telling me that you regularly deal with ghosts?

Indigo: I don't think so

N'laea: To be rejected from the afterlife has... worse effects than becoming a ghost.

Youtargim: I do NOT know how to communicate with ghosts

N'laea: It is likely why there are few if any elven ghosts.

Indigo: laughs

Raelynn: Oh! I learned how to do that recently!

Licornah : :: looks up again :: I don't know that you deal with them... you just move along and let them go about their path

Licornah : when they want to communicate, they do, even if we can't understand

Bixi Fizzlebang: Can they take the forms of animals?

Youtargim: Do you kill them? Send them on their way?

Licornah : There used to be a bear that was a ghost... he was friendly

Bixi Fizzlebang: smiles

Indigo: Oh wait! That farmer with the houses was a ghost. He was nice too

Youtargim: Bears have ghosts? but not Elves?

Licornah : :: shrugs :: I can't say.. I don't... I let them go their own way

Youtargim: a house ghost?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi is feeling EXTREMELY JUSTIFIED with all her ghost stuff now lol

Youtargim: a ghost in a house? or a house that is a ghost?

Indigo: He was just near the houses

Bixi Fizzlebang: I suspect sometimes they may get to choose to be a ghost, and it seems elves would not choose that?

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks around at the elves

N'laea: Ah yes, didn't those eat Talwin instead of you Indigo? From what I was told.

Youtargim: Why would you CHOOSE to be a ghost?!?!?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is that a correct assumption?

Lorie (Licornah ): (Ghosts >>>>>>> Vampires >>>>>> Liches )

Bixi Fizzlebang: Unfinished Business, Youtargim!

takes another bite of a cinnamon roll and looks for more

Bixi Fizzlebang: rolls eyes

N'laea: No. It is a grave to be turned away from Aravaith. It warps one soul beyond being a ghost. I would be surprised by any that can stay as a ghost instead.

Youtargim: What is Aravaith?

N'laea: Where we are going. Alive, though. You couldn't get there dead, anyways.

Youtargim: Ummm, you are going where you want to be dead?

User is back. (TMO)

Tiberius Branadarus: Cool

N'laea: Because the Goddess of Mysteries resides there and we need to be in touch with her.

TMO (Craigh): sorry, wife called and needed to vent a bit. family drama crap

Tiberius Branadarus: OH

Tiberius Branadarus: Not dead

Tiberius Branadarus: I am still coming

Indigo: I don't want to be dead

TMO (Craigh): not started by us, but aimed at us. *shrug* I don't give a flying flap what they think. ;)

Tiberius Branadarus: Even if they are not dead

Lisa (Indigo): sorry TMO :(

BOB Sorry TMO come be a ghost

TMO (Craigh): eh, it happens

BOB Or a ...... ghost buster

TMO (Craigh): Oooooooo.... ?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): or a ghostwriter

Lorie (Licornah ): (Family drama is the worst of the worst)

BOB Who you gonna call?

Carissa (N'laea): Only if he answers correctly: TMO, are you a god?

TMO (Craigh): Yes

Carissa (N'laea): wait does that mean he fails being a ghost buster or he is one now?

BOB I cannot believe that NO ONE did that last week, Rae are you a god...

BOB Was a perfect set up line that I worked on for a MONTH!!!!!!

Carissa (N'laea): Okay but do you know what happens in most myths when you claim to be a god? ESPECIALLY to be as beautiful as one? Aphrodite is NOT kind about that

BOB grins

Tiberius Branadarus: Indigo, do you think we need to be dead to go there?

N'laea: sighs

Indigo: hope not

N'laea: As I said, even dead, you could not get there. You can only get there alive.

N'laea: It is for elven souls.

Tiberius Branadarus: I mean look at Shi, what happened to her when she was dead and then not dead

Bixi Fizzlebang: But you want to die when you get there?

N'laea: And those with the ability or amulet to get there

Tiberius Branadarus: She was never the same

Tiberius Branadarus: I want to be here

Indigo: I think she's better

Tiberius Branadarus: The kids need a good mom and a good dad

N'laea: .Which is why she is not coming. She... knows she would not return again.

Bixi Fizzlebang: shakes head

Tiberius Branadarus: well a good mom

Bixi Fizzlebang: Elves are confusing

Tiberius Branadarus: Yes they are

Clinks glasses with Bixi

TMO (Craigh): so, how do I ghost?

N'laea: shakes her head

N'laea: Not sure why I try....

Tiberius Branadarus: Women are confusing enough, then you make them an Elf?

Carissa (N'laea): (Craigh is actually there if you want, lol)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hey!

Bixi Fizzlebang: I rescind my clink!

TMO (Craigh): where are we and what is the situation?

Raelynn: Or are men just dense then you make them human?

BOB second breakfast TMO for Craigh

Raelynn: *dense enough

Lisa (Indigo): breakfast

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): breakfast, and we are just talking about ghosts no big deal

Tiberius Branadarus: I was saying that women are hard to understand

Tiberius Branadarus: Not like you Bixi

Bixi Fizzlebang: oh, ok

Looks around to make sure he is not in the line of fire from any cutlery

Bixi Fizzlebang: totally accepts that

Raelynn: Um, she's a woman, too!

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

Youtargim: SO

Bixi Fizzlebang: But I'm not hard to understand

Looking around and seeing that there is only Indigo, Craigh and Tiberius who are male here and the rest are apparently female....

Craigh: Not sure if I'm feeling better or I've died and am in purgatory.

Raelynn: Right, but he shouldn't put one down for the others.

Youtargim: We are going to a place where the dead are

Licornah : :: looks up from journal, thinks about saying something, realizes it wouldn't be worth it and goes back to writing ::

Youtargim: Do we need to stop them?

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's ok to be confusing! You're like a puzzle every day, that's fun!

Indigo: stop who?

N'laea: No.We only need to find the Goddess of Mysteries.

Craigh: leans his head back. "Oh, good. It's both."

N'laea: If you mean to attempt to stop the dead from arriving, I would have to stop you.

Youtargim: I do not know

Youtargim: I am confused,

looks at Tiberius

N'laea: thinking clearly

Youtargim: I think that we need to step back and figure out where you are going and why you are going, so I know how to help you

Youtargim: The Princess had me come with you for a reason, and I trust that she knows you better than I do

Indigo: I'm not going to try to understand until we get there

Youtargim: do

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, is that bob or Yogurt talking?

Raelynn: I thought you were going to help us in the desert? But that's not soon.

Raelynn: We have things to return.

Youtargim: Things

Indigo: Yeah you don't need to go

Youtargim: I think I need to

Craigh: Give the man the information to make a choice off of, at least.

Youtargim: Sir Indigo

Indigo: I don't have the information

Youtargim: You seem to be a level headed person.... halfling.... knight....

Craigh: Fair point. I'm not too sure I do either.

Craigh: grins.

Youtargim: you are going there to help with the ghosts?

Bixi Fizzlebang: shrugs

Bixi Fizzlebang: I never know what's really going on, I just try to help where I can

Indigo: We go to the elf dead place and find a goddess and give her a cloak and she should be really happy to get her clothes back

Craigh: I hope she had more than one outfit.

Youtargim: nods slowly, go find a naked goddess and giver her back her clothes

Indigo: just her cloak

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh I would be so embarrassed if she were naked

Raelynn: She is the mother of all elves. You'll need to be respectful.

Youtargim: Sounds like a plan

N'laea: She is the mother of all elves. You'll need to be respectful.

Carissa (N'laea): (sorry fixed speaker)

Youtargim: I can be respectful of a woman without clothes

Youtargim: It is her choice

Bixi Fizzlebang: cringes

Youtargim: well, is it? why do you have her clothes?

Licornah : :: sighs and shakes her head and continues to write ::

Indigo: I wasn't even gonna talk. She wouldn't understand me

N'laea: Or perhaps stop thinking of an all-powerful deity as such? She is the personification of moonlight, illusions, the night sky....

Bixi Fizzlebang: You um... might want to... think of the way in which you phrase things sometimes, Yout

Youtargim: What did I say? Did I get an idiom wrong?

Raelynn: We found one of her gowns somewhere it didn't belong. All we know is we need to return it.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't know a lot about elf goddesses, but I'm pretty sure they're very particular about how you talk about them. Just judging from my extremely limited experiences with elves...

N'laea: Raelynn and I must go, and as the one with the Amulet, so much Branwyn. The rest can decide on their own if they wish to join.

Youtargim: I am going I am here to help

Tiberius Branadarus: OH NO, I am going away this time,

Tiberius Branadarus: TWICE you left and had adventures without me

Carissa (N'laea): (what's a nice way of saying, "then get your head out of the gutter? :P)

Tiberius Branadarus: I thought you were going to a tower for wizards

Bixi Fizzlebang: What is she the goddess of, specifically?

Tiberius Branadarus: you said it was just a tower in ice

Tiberius Branadarus: and look what happened!!!!!

Raelynn: Mysteries, Moonlight, Journeys. OH! And illusions! It isn't many, but some gnomes actually follow her!

Indigo: Yeah look what happened!

Indigo: GRINS

Tiberius Branadarus: I am going with you Love

Raelynn: Oh and Night Skies. She's the goddess of MANY things.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh! I would absolutely love to go then! What an honor it would be!

Tiberius Branadarus: Indigo and I have lots to do

Tiberius Branadarus: and this new guy .... um Youts

Indigo: I don't know if I'm going

Tiberius Branadarus: Yeah we are going with you

Tiberius Branadarus: Yes you are Indigo

Raelynn: She's also one of the Triad that make up another goddess along with Hanali... it's a long story, but they're like, super close!

punches Indigo in the shoulder

Bixi Fizzlebang: That doesn't make any sense to me, but it sounds very nice!

Indigo: Everyone's going to be speaking elvish and we'll just stand around in the corner bowing

Tiberius Branadarus: You need to be there with me to tell me when the Elves are serious

Indigo: They're always serious

Tiberius Branadarus: Yes! Seeeee you need to be there so I have someone to talk to

Bixi Fizzlebang: Indigo, I need you there for solidarity for meal times. I'm guessing they don't eat quite as often as I would like there...

Youtargim: I ,.... Um....

Indigo: Make them tell you when they AREN'T serious

N'laea: There is... one potential problem I do not have a solution to that you all must consider.

Tiberius Branadarus: Sure Yout you can be there too and tell us what they are saying

Tiberius Branadarus: See we have a great group

Raelynn [W Comm]: [Translation] He doesn't know Elvish he said.

<font color="##000000">He doesn't know Elvish he said.

[understood by: Indigo, Branwyn, Licornah , Bixi Fizzlebang, N'laea, Raelynn, Craigh]

Tiberius Branadarus: Me, Yout, Indigo, Bixi, Branwyn

Carissa (Raelynn): (whoops)

Tiberius Branadarus: It will be great

Indigo: Craigh

Raelynn: He said he doesn't know Elvish.

Raelynn : [Translation] Right, Youtargim?

<font color="##000000">Right, Youtargim?

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

Tiberius Branadarus: Who knows Elvish? That is why we have Rae and N'laea for

Tiberius Branadarus: Or Shi and

Tiberius Branadarus: well I guess those two are not coming,

Tiberius Branadarus: we had good times together didn't we Indigo

Tiberius Branadarus: Wish we could get the two of them together again

Tiberius Branadarus: That was fun

Indigo: Yeah we did

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm afraid to ask

Indigo: That's not gonna happen. Shi has a new boyfriend

BOB Lorie and Lemon see Diplomatic Entanglements story arc for details on Tiberius and Indigo's musing

Tiberius Branadarus: WHAT!!!!!

Lorie (Licornah ): (Ummm... okay)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi is extremely NOT interested in finding out what all that is about

Tiberius Branadarus: Does he know?

Tiberius Branadarus: WOW

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): it sounds sketchy

Tiberius Branadarus: Do you think we should tell him?

Indigo: Yeah he's lucky Kel hasn't killed him but then Shi would kill Kel so maybe it's okay

N'laea: I have seen all three together. I assume they all know?

Tiberius Branadarus: Really?

Carissa (N'laea): (lol to Indigo)

Tiberius Branadarus: so like Kel and his magic sword are ok with the other guy?

N'laea: There was... distance, but that is all I will say.

N'laea: I am not a fan of gossip.

Tiberius Branadarus: Shi really liked Kel's magic sword

Raelynn: clearly trying hard to not speak up

Tiberius Branadarus: I have to admit I sort of did too

N'laea: Er, like the one we found?

BOB Is that enough of the Wink Wink nudge nudge say no more, say no more?

N'laea: points to the sheathed flaming sword

Indigo: When we get back we should go find Kel in the wood and go hunting or something with him

Youtargim: So just how many elves are you planning on taking with us on this trip?

N'laea: Those elves are not going for their own reasons

Lorie (Licornah ): (@BOB, I have no idea what wink, wink, nudge, nudge you mean, but ummm, sure?)

Tiberius Branadarus: So do you think we should take Kell then with us Indigo?

Tiberius Branadarus: How many people should we take?

Tiberius Branadarus: after all it is a Goddess

Tiberius Branadarus: We want to make a good impression

Tiberius Branadarus: Lots of people attending to .....

Tiberius Branadarus: Ummm

Branwyn: No Tiberius. They cannot go

Tiberius Branadarus: who are we attending to?

N'laea: Sehanine Moonbow

Tiberius Branadarus: Yes Love

Branwyn: N'laea you said there was something important to consider before we got sidetracked?

Tiberius Branadarus: Oh I understand that N'laea but we are there to support someone

Tiberius Branadarus: so Branwyn?

Tiberius Branadarus: and she is there presenting you as a sacrifice? and we save you?

Branwyn: laughs

Branwyn: I hope not!

Licornah : :: looks up :: take her favorite things with the cloak and be nice to her attendants, earn their favor to earn hers

N'laea: sighs again

Licornah : :: goes back to writing and sketching a squirrel ::

N'laea: No. Branwyn and I discussed it earlier.

Tiberius Branadarus: OH That is a good idea ..... Licor

TMO (Craigh): (are all the spells Howard and Johan know in their traveling spell books linked on the Library page?)

Tiberius Branadarus: Huh, I bet people made fun of you when you were a kid huh?

Tiberius Branadarus: Be nice to the attendants is always a good idea

Craigh: looks at Tiberius in confusion. "Liquor?"

Tiberius Branadarus: Her name

Lisa (Branwyn): oh no - now that I look I haven't updated them

TMO (Craigh): okay, not that important, just doing a bit of background work in determining what spells to try and scroll

Tiberius Branadarus: When I was a kid we teased a boy who was call Potem

Tiberius Branadarus: Called him Pot

Tiberius Branadarus: or Black

Tiberius Branadarus: Calling the pot black you get it?

Laughs

Tiberius Branadarus: so Licor

Carissa (N'laea): You... talk a lot

N'laea: You... talk a lot

Tiberius Branadarus: People might have teased her when she was a kid

Tiberius Branadarus: I was thinking

Laughs

Licornah : I'm sorry, as you asking if I was treated poorly as a child? No... not that I recall

Tiberius Branadarus: My love has just returned home from two I mean three adventures without me

Tiberius Branadarus: I am going to keep her close and take up as much as I can with her

Tiberius Branadarus: and I am happy for you Licor

Tiberius Branadarus: That is a good thing

Tiberius Branadarus: Do you like it here in Dragon Fen?

Looks over at Indigo

Tiberius Branadarus: I might have been spending too much time with Jilly while you were gone

Craigh: chuckles

Licornah : It's, interesting. I'm trying to become more familiar with the area and the fauna

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I vaguely remember when we were here last time asking why she married this guy, lol

User has gone AFK. (Lemon)

TMO (Craigh): brains + brawn

Youtargim: It is good to have you here Licornah

Youtargim: Where are you from? I want to understand where the different people who are important to the Countess are from and their backgrounds so I can help with what I can

Craigh: What's it like where you're from? You've talked about it a bit when we were trying to identify it.

TMO (Craigh): jinx

Carissa (N'laea): (and now you two have entered your own faster typer contest)

Licornah : Where I'm from is in the north... I'm from an area near a River and to the west is Silvermoon

Craigh: Is it an Elven kingdom, human, or mixed?

Youtargim: North where?

Licornah : Silvermoon... north of, umm, here?

Youtargim: Hallstatt?

Lorie (Licornah ): (she thinks?)

Licornah : There are many elves, but there are humans, and halflings, and others...

Youtargim: Keltoi?

Lorie (Licornah ): (OOC - Does my character know Hallstatt BOB?)

Youtargim [C Comm]: [Translation] Do you understand this?

<font color="##000000">Do you understand this?

[understood by: ]

Lisa (Indigo): Fixed TMO

TMO (Craigh): Thank you!

BOB OOC for Lorie nope you have zero idea of any of these physical locations so far

Lorie (Licornah ): (:: sigh :: Lorie versus PC knowledge ))

Licornah : :: shakes head :: No sorry, I haven't heard of those...

Licornah : Waterdeep?

Youtargim: Never heard of it

Indigo: They can do this all day

Indigo: grabs a scone

Tiberius Branadarus: OH you mean Wolfspack! The barbarian city to the far east

Licornah : (Yup... this is going to be a Who's on First scene)

Licornah : (:: falls on floor laughing at that ::)

Lorie (Licornah ): (Wolfspack! :: personally insulted)

BOB grins

Lorie (Licornah ): ((starts chanting Greek and summoning a certain mage she knows))

Tiberius Branadarus: Ok well Licor you are welcome to join us

Tiberius Branadarus: You are an elf

Tiberius Branadarus: so you would want to go to elf places right?

Licornah : I can go to lots of places human, elf, halfling, dwarf. I just don't want to go where the Vampires are.

Licornah : And I'd like to avoid the Wizards of Thay thank you

laughs

Tiberius Branadarus: Well Vampires are here

Tiberius Branadarus: No clue about wizards of who ever

Licornah : You should do something about that

Tiberius Branadarus: that is Branwyn's worry

Tiberius Branadarus: My mother was a witch,

Tiberius Branadarus: I let Branwyn worry about vampires

Licornah : :: tilts head :: a scryer?

Tiberius Branadarus: I need to go get some practice in before we leave Love

Indigo: stuffs the rest of the scone in his mouth

kisses Branwyn deeply

Tiberius Branadarus: I will be back later

smiles at the display

Branwyn: smiles

Branwyn: See you later darling

Youtargim: I do want to ask about the vampires?

Youtargim: are you really? are there a lot?

Branwyn: I have no idea how many. One here and there and who knows how many in the Great Swamp

Youtargim: HERE!!!!

Youtargim: WHAT!

Lorie (Licornah ): (And you don't have gallons of holy water???)

Branwyn: Not right here! Calm yourself

Lorie (Licornah ): (This is worse than us living near a lich BOB)

Branwyn: And if you met one you might actually like them

Youtargim: I ahh

Youtargim: Ummm

Youtargim: You KNOW a vampire?

Branwyn: A few

Youtargim: I ... you said THEM

Youtargim: WAIT

Youtargim: what

Youtargim: I mean

Youtargim: sorry Countess

Craigh: You work for a genie. How is this unusual for you?

Youtargim: If you tell me to ignore vampires I will do that

Youtargim: Genies are normal

Craigh: Wrong.

Youtargim: Ghuls are horrible

Branwyn: laughs

Youtargim: The Deep Desert has horrors that many cannot survive

Lorie (Licornah ): :: considers opening a holy water emporium here as a side business for profit :: ;)

Branwyn: I have no doubt

Youtargim: Which is why the Princess has assigned me to you I suppose

Branwyn: Because you can survive such horrors?

Raelynn: So besides speaking languages... what else can you do?

Youtargim: Sail

Youtargim: fight

Youtargim: trade

N'laea: Fight how?

Youtargim: I was a merchant before the Princess took me into her employ

User is back. (Lemon)

pulls out his scimitar slightly and then re-sheathes it

Youtargim: I can hold my own in a sea battle

Youtargim: I was in command of four ships

N'laea: nods

Craigh: So you know seas and deserts?

Youtargim: yes

Craigh: Interesting. I wouldn't have thought those two would go together.

Bows deeply

Youtargim: Thank you

Youtargim: I traded up and down the seas from far Kaparimtia to the jungles of Malatra

Youtargim: and now I am here to serve your Countess until she sees fit

Branwyn: So why did you stop. It sounds exciting and profitable

Youtargim: The Princess valued my skills and hired me and my fleet

Youtargim: my crew is at the quay waiting for orders

laughs sadly

Youtargim: that may not come if I am not successful in helping you

Craigh: How long ago?

Youtargim: I last sailed.... 5? 7? days ago?

N'laea: She hired you that recently?

Youtargim: I returned with spices and woven goods

Youtargim: I have worked for the Princess for 7 years

Youtargim: I take the idea that she sent me with you as a sign of great respect of her belief in my abilities

Youtargim: and of her belief in your skills and need of my assistance

Youtargim: We have no fate but the fate we are given

Branwyn: smiles

Bixi Fizzlebang: snorts a little

BOB Lisa and TMO have echoes of a game in a place long ago and far away

BOB Embrace the salt life

BOB &&&&&&&

BOB Ok so everyone has a good understanding of the characters involved?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Do you have a cat?

TMO (Craigh): (drawing a blank, sorry)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That looked like cat typing

Carissa (N'laea): sure but now they all get to be surprised when they arrive :P

BOB Lordz season several years ago

Craigh: (ooohhh.. was trying to think of a D&D adventure)

TMO (Craigh): drat #1

Lisa: how his characters ended their letters in the Andalusia games

Craigh: Branwyn, do you think Howard and Johan would be willing to create a few scrolls for us to take with us?

Craigh: I've been going through the library, looking for useful things.

BOB So starting with Lorie, questions IC and OOC that you want to try to answer the rest of the night knowing that next week you will not be here but GATED to the other Plane?

Branwyn: I don't see why not. Feel free to talk with them about it

BOB Sorry TMO Continue

Craigh: I will, thanks.

Branwyn: Certainly

Craigh: As soon as I can move again....

Lorie (Licornah ): (I'll use Negative Plane Protection where I get there. I don't really have more questions, I'm a background character on this ride)

Branwyn: I am sorry you were so ill. Are your allergies better at least?

Craigh: nods.

Craigh: Yeah, that tea of Bixi's is pretty good.

Branwyn: Good!

Craigh: She makes a good apprentice.

Craigh: grins

Carissa (N'laea): lol

Bixi Fizzlebang: laughs

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok, so when Craigh leaves the room, I want to cast an illusion of a disembodied arm holding a note that says,

Bixi Fizzlebang: how to whisperrrrr

TMO (Craigh): shrugs

Bixi Fizzlebang: test?

Bixi Fizzlebang: that says "I miss you"

Bixi Fizzlebang: can I do that?

Carissa (N'laea): no clue

BOB Yes to Lemon you are doing it right

Craigh -> Bixi Fizzlebang: test

BOB Yes to TMO too

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Craigh: test worked?

Craigh: - /w recipient message

BOB Yes to both TMO and Lemon

Phantasmal Force

BOB (LINK)

<a href="https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996640083/Using+the+Chat+Window">(LINK)</a>

BOB I did not do the Phantasmal Force

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I did

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's the spell I whispered you about

BOB See Ghosts

BOB So Licornah and Branwyn can talk about this upcoming trip

BOB Branwyn has gotten information from two other elves

BOB now she needs to quiz question the newest one

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): glad I'm not an elf right now

Lisa: lol

BOB Branwyn holds Bixi down.... WHAT did you know and when did you know it!!!!!! TELL ME NOW

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lollll

TMO (Craigh): physically restraining a gnome isn't too hard

TMO (Craigh): (LINK)

<a href="https://media.tenor.co/images/5c491111764c77a9bd3d7868a3dec638/raw">(LINK)</a>

Branwyn: Licornah, is there anything you think we should know before we go?

Licornah : :: ponders :: Well

Licornah : Besides the cloak, have you prepared her tribute?

Branwyn: I haven't. Isn't that something you all would do or should we all bring gifts?

Lisa (Branwyn): I'll give her the fancy chair!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ummmm, isn't bringing her back the very special cloak good enough? jeez. elf gods.

BOB grins to both Lisa and Lemon

Licornah : I'm not certain, but normally goddesses prefer a thank you for seeing them where I'm from

BOB Explain that chair idea Lisa, no one else but TMO understands that

Licornah : I'm pretty sure any goddess, even if she's not an elf

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): "hey, thanks for letting me GIVE YOU BACK THE THING I COULD HAVE KEPT!"

Licornah : tributes might look different to you -- a keg of ale or a basket of flowers or even a box of fruit

TMO (Craigh): we found an extremely fancy chair in a pit in the swamps once...

TMO (Craigh): sadly a bad appraisal roll made it worthless

Branwyn: I can see that. Really I am more of a ... carriage driver on this trip. I am counting on you and N'laea to take the lead here

Lisa (Branwyn): shhhhh ... but it looks great

BOB Uber by Branwyn

Bixi Fizzlebang: I wonder if she would like some of those special allergy herbs

Bixi Fizzlebang: do goddesses get allergies?

BOB Or would that be Branwyn Lifts

Branwyn: Probably not. But I am sure we can find some things that will be nice

Licornah : Perhaps a moon or star representation? Do you paint or draw? Carve or work with metal?

Licornah : Something handmade and personal might be better received?

TMO (Craigh): (we have a set of manacles, right?)

Lorie (Licornah ): (Not seeing that on her Amazon Wish List)

Bixi Fizzlebang: What about Gerry's never ending cheese wheels? Those are pretty special!

Branwyn: N'laea warned us against feywine and that cities could perhaps get enraptured by elven cities

Branwyn: laughs

Lisa (Branwyn): we could get enraptured

Lisa (Branwyn): sigh

Licornah : :: shrugs :: I'm not sure... where I'm from, it's simple tributes. Cheese is usually not on the list, but perhaps?

Craigh: What is normal?

Licornah : In Silvermoon, they leave silver balls or harps in her honor... where the others are from, I cannot say what they use

Licornah : My father and mother often put out a silver ball near the harvest season

Branwyn: This is very helpful. Thank you

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): like a ball bearing? does she play pinball?

Licornah : Pin ball?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): that was ooc

Lorie (Licornah ): (oooh, yes, she's quite the wizard LOL )

Craigh: Do we have a silversmith in Dragons Fen?

Lisa (Branwyn): LOL

BOB Yes

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol!

BOB you have a jeweler over at the mining complex

BOB and yes LOL at the Who

BOB Letting everyone think about how to move forward

Branwyn: We can send word to Snee about a smith

BOB so far on the timeline we have Bixi learning one spell and Branwyn learning how to recalibrate the Amulet to go to a Plane that Licor and N'laea and Rae tell her about

Craigh: Yes, I was thinking if Licornah would write up a short description of them, if there's anything special about them, we can get those ordered.

BOB and Licornah telling you to create silver balls

BOB sad that you are missing......

TMO (Craigh): Craigh has spells picked out to scroll

Lorie (Licornah ): (OOC - Diadem's are also sacred to Sehaine in some circles, but IC not sure if my character would be that familiar to know)

Lisa (Branwyn): brb

User has gone AFK. (Lisa)

BOB Sure to Lorie

BOB and how many did you want to try for TMO?

Lorie (Licornah ): (then I share that with the group since they know a jeweler)

BOB Carissa? any additions?

BOB My list of who wants to go right now to the Elven Plane is:

BOB Tiberius, Youtargim that I am in control of

BOB Branwyn and Indigo

Carissa (N'laea): (they did already have one tribute in the handmade back, that's all I'll add)

Carissa (N'laea): *bag

BOB N'laea and Rae

BOB Craigh

BOB Bixi

BOB Licornah

BOB Talwin and Lanek

BOB so 11 in total

TMO (Craigh): I'm just doing 1 spell per person, as many scrolls as they can make and we're willing to pay for in the time allotted. Craigh: Read Magic (1st); Johan: Detect Magic (1st); Howard: Dimension Door (4th)

BOB is that right?

TMO (Craigh): we already have 2 Comprehend Languages scrolls

BOB Yes to TMO for trying to create those scrolls I have those on the timeline along with Bixi learning the new spell

BOB and Branwyn reading and learning how to control the amulet

BOB and going with the idea that the least amount of time possible

BOB before heading to "the Elven plane"

BOB Carissa are you here? do you have any hints on where you are going?

Carissa (Carissa): I'm here. I don't know what other hints to add besides the ones I've already tossed out, either on site or attempted to IC

Craigh: my thought with the scrolls is to get a store of the 'non-combat utility' spells so that caster's can spend their slots on more combat or personal-style magic

TMO (Craigh): drat #2

Carissa (Carissa): And the fact we may or may not end up seeing more than one gods and if we want to plan for that if we're doing tributes

User is back. (Lisa)

BOB you can safely guess more than one

Lorie (Licornah ): (OOC Sehaine does have sisters )

Carissa (Carissa): depends on the lore

BOB see above

Lorie (Licornah ): (and at least one daughter)

Lisa (Branwyn): Bixi!!

BOB DOH thank you Lisa

BOB 12 is the number

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi what!?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): as a tribute??

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I volunteer as tribute!

BOB not 13, not 11 unless proceeding to 12

Branwyn: oh wait you did say that - came back from afk and the chat was stuck for a minute

Lorie (Licornah ): (I'm from District 12, so I guess I'd have to volunteer)

Carissa (Carissa): I'm less concerned about her family and more about run into as we walk along. Hanali? Solonor? Rillifane? They at least have followers or some connection to the group. If we travel through the forest with the Lone Wolf or the Meadows and the Halfling god. It's really up in the air. Or even Corellon himself as her husband/father/whatever

Lisa (Branwyn): lol Lemon

BOB grins, every Player has a character, plus and I have two

Lisa: with that many characters going I want to leave Indigo behind

BOB abd LOL Lorie

BOB No to Lisa, I have a plan for a halfling

Carissa (Carissa): Gods of Gold Hill there so.... he has to go :)

BOB so Indigo or you recruit a new one tonight, grins

Lisa: maybe my halfling doesn't want any part of your "plans"

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was just saying at the beginning that we could just go rouge and do whatever...

BOB I am certain that he does not want to be

BOB BUT

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): rogue*

Lisa: fine

Carissa (Carissa): it's not going to be a short trip either way

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If you want to go rogue, I support you, Lisa.

BOB grins with Lemon you are going to I am certain but I need to get you to a certain point first

TMO (Craigh): I can make Indigo's second cousin Mauve if you like. ;)

Lorie (Licornah ): (OOC Was the cloak stolen by the group, or lent to the group, or found by the group?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): octarine

BOB IC you think this will be a quick go deliver and come back..... OOC this will take months and you will take all your normal supplies when you go out adventuring

TMO (Craigh): found

Lorie (Licornah ): (Thanks)

BOB TMO tell them how it was found

Lisa: this whole trip is going to be a Branwyn nightmare lol

Carissa (Carissa): Nahh Elven plane means everyone’s gonna be drunk and partying.

Lorie (Licornah ): (Not sure how long everyone "wants" to be there, but I'd recommend blip in and out and not wear out our welcome)

BOB That is cute Lorie

Carissa (Carissa): You'll be blissed out on life, man.

BOB checks calendar for July of 2022 for when the adventure ends

TMO (Craigh): a mysterious dilapidated magic goods shop in a dim alley, that wasn't there the next day?

Lisa: manticore loot was it not?

BOB smiles with Lisa

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yeah, you're welcome

Carissa (Carissa): yes

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): that cloak was my roll, pretty sure

Carissa (Carissa): which was recent enough, we haven't held onto it too long

BOB yes it was Lemon

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): so whatever happens to indigo is indirectly my fault lol

Lisa: yes you delivered much valuable loot that night!

Lisa: no it is always Bob's fault

BOB They defeated a Manticore( Greek monster) while they were dealing with a desert encounter (huh) and now you are delivering an Elven cloak to the Elven Gods (where at least two of your elves do not want to venture back to).... so yes this is a normal on the spur of the moment adventure that BOB had not intention of planning

TMO (Craigh): sorry I blanked on the source

Lisa: see? Bob's fault

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So you just LET ME BELIEVE I had super magical rolls that night!?

BOB BOWS

TMO (Craigh): oh, you did. So magical in fact that you forced Bob to create an entire adventure around

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): rage quit. table flip. other similar emotes.

BOB LOL to Lemon and yes to TMO

TMO (Craigh): I mean, I rolled up Charon's personal drinking cup, and it's still in our vault. No adventure there. ;)

BOB and so you have one more hour to make sure all your things are set

BOB and yes Lorie, that is right TMO rolled up Charon's cup and you still have an adventure coming for that one

BOB you are welcome

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): how can I ever trust again?

TMO (Craigh): how many scrolls is each wizard able to make?

Lorie (Licornah ): (Oh... great. I'm here for that... )

BOB not sure yet TMO waiting on final time frame rolls

TMO (Craigh): right, np

BOB First Lorie anything you want to RP or OOC for the group tonight

BOB you will not be here next week so making sure we cover your things

BOB then we move to Branwyn learning the Amulet

Lorie (Licornah ): ((:: shrug :: Not sure what's needed at this point... I'm here to support the group as best I can)

Lorie (Licornah ): (since I'll be 1 round behind, not sure what else I can contribute)

BOB Anything that Lorie wants to Roleplay with Carissa about Elves and where to Plane Shift to?

BOB You will only be one round behind one night

BOB there will be MANY nights to this adventure

BOB trust me on that

Lisa: how much trouble can we get into in one night? ;)

BOB LOL

Lorie (Licornah ): ((:: laughs :: ))

BOB Love that Lisa

Carissa: depends how many days it takes to get through one night

BOB I just want Lorie to have her chance tonight

Lisa: yes

BOB Help and RP etc.

Licornah : :: turns :: Do you have your speech prepared for Sehaine and her attendants? About why it's taken so long to return the cloak?

Licornah : Do you have a justification for presenting non-elves to Sehaine?

TMO (Craigh): cue Branwyn explosion in 3, 2, ....

Indigo: We can wait outside. It's okay

Lisa (Indigo): she wasn't talking to her

Lorie (Licornah ): (She's talking to the group in general, not anyone in particular)

N'laea: Do you know if she even has a palace? Many of the Seldarine roam. It is more likely she will find us.

Indigo: Unless it's all outside ...

Indigo: scratched his head

N'laea: It could easily be.

Licornah : :: Nods ::

Tiberius Branadarus: The Elves really like to be outside

Tiberius Branadarus: But I am not sure they mean Outside Outside instead of Outside outside

Tiberius Branadarus: if you know what I mean

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh here we go again. Outside outside. WHEN when.

N'laea: Outside outside?

Licornah : :: thinks :: I don't believe she does have a formal temple

Indigo: Outside of the outside where the elves are

Tiberius Branadarus: Sorry you Elves seem to have the idea that there is an Outside where only Elves understand

Tiberius Branadarus: where Indigo and I go out and play outside and it is just fine

Licornah : In Silvermoon, it's more a shrine -- but, I'm not sure in other places, it could be larger or more formal

Craigh: I got the impression somewhere, maybe a book in my old master's library, that the outer planes were nearly infinite in size. Is it really going to be that easy to find a god there?

N'laea: Ah. Yes, certainly far from any cities. It is preferrable.

Indigo: It's a nice place, right? Not like Pandemonium. You can do divination stuff and ask people without getting having to fight them

Licornah : What about where you're from, do they have a formal temple for her?

Raelynn: She has a temple in Loosend, and I know Hanali has her own crystal palace she resides in in Arvandor, but I don't know about Moonbow...

N'laea: It is our final resting place. Or parts of it. I am not sure which, but it is the greatest reward to a fulfilling life.

Youtargim: All these names and all these places, are you sure we can go to all these places?

N'laea: But... as I was attempting to say earlier, it may overwhelm non-elves. It will be beautiful beyond belief. It can be hard for many to handle.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Don't we have to try?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean if it's not really OURS the least we can do is TRY to give it back

Tiberius Branadarus: YES

Tiberius Branadarus: See Bixi gets it

Tiberius Branadarus: It is an Adventure!

N'laea: Yes. And she is the Goddess of Journeys. She may be watching over our journey to return it to her.

Tiberius Branadarus: Oooooo

Indigo: Should we make a sign?

Tiberius Branadarus: So we need to prepare properly

Tiberius Branadarus: make sure we are set for a long journey

Tiberius Branadarus: That is good to know

Tiberius Branadarus: You are smart N'laea

Tiberius Branadarus: So much smarter than Kel was

N'laea: Thank you?

Tiberius Branadarus: he has a sword, that he thinks talks to him

Carissa (N'laea): (oh gods she's not replacing him; Tiberius is never meeting the sword now)

TMO (Craigh): lol

N'laea: Ah... well, apparently swords like that exist.

BOWS

Craigh: Hummmm.. Do we need to bring some blindfolds, if someone does swoon over the architecture?

Tiberius Branadarus: Architecture?

N'laea: I do not know. Perhaps? I am also wondering if you need to be careful of eating there...

Tiberius Branadarus: Really? swooning over that?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Or some kind of herbs to counteract the wine?

N'laea: I imagine all the food there would be like our feywine here.

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 6]

Tiberius Branadarus: I mean I can see some goddess almost being as beautiful as Branwyn

Tiberius Branadarus: but seriously a building?

Craigh: I've heard myths of people being blinded by gods merely for accidentally glimpsing them.

N'laea: Not a building. The whole plane.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): gag me with a spoon

Raelynn: Well we DO know Hanali is more beautiful than you can ever imagine!

Tiberius Branadarus: I don't know I can imagine quite a lot

Bixi Fizzlebang: Us specifically or everyone?

Tiberius Branadarus: (quote)

Raelynn: Although... I don't think she'd blind you for seeing her. She's not vengeful.

Bixi Fizzlebang: That would be pretty rude

Tiberius Branadarus: I think that Indigo and I can handle it

N'laea: The Seldarine in general are not, but they are still gods. There is no telling.

Raelynn: Handle what?

Tiberius Branadarus: Being charmed by goddesses

Raelynn: How exactly do you plan to fight beauty? Using a sword? You can't fight everything with a sword.

Tiberius Branadarus: Indigo charms lots of people

Craigh: I hope we don't have to do any fighting at all.

Raelynn: I mean that would definitely guarantee you'd be blinded.

Raelynn: If not killed...

Bixi Fizzlebang: I feel very confident that you would absolutely not be able to handle it, Tiberius.

Carissa (Raelynn): (lol)

Tiberius Branadarus: laughs

Tiberius Branadarus: I will rely on you and Indigo to guard me Bixi

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hey, I don't think I can help you much if you upset a goddess

Tiberius Branadarus: (and quote)

Indigo: laughs

Craigh: Is the goddess notoriously vain? Perhaps she would enjoy a silver mirror if so.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have a lot of skills, but going up against gods is not one of them

TMO (Craigh): anybody can fight a god. winning is another matter entirely

Tiberius Branadarus: OH didn’t we have that mirror against the Medusa?

Lisa (Indigo): we keep getting all these reasons for none of us non elves to even go

N'laea: mutters to Craigh, "Maybe we should blindfold him."

TMO (Craigh): I think 'common sense' is at the top of the list

Indigo: That was Ilero

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I know better than to try

TMO (Craigh): *grins in thievish accomplishment*

BOB And yet Lisa somehow you have a dozen people following along..... grins

N'laea: You do not fight the gods. If that is your plan, perhaps it is better you stay behind.

Lisa (Indigo): don't fight, eat, drink or look - anything we can do? :)

Raelynn: Hanali? Vain? Mmmm, not really? She's more concerned about love and beautiful things, not her beauty herself even though she is VERY beautiful.

Bixi Fizzlebang: If Tiberius gets taken hostage by the goddess, I'm not going to try to rescue him. Just for the record.

BOB Stand Still Look Pretty

TMO (Craigh): Craigh can do that!

BOB LOL with Bixi

Craigh: poses

Carissa (N'laea): (lol and it is all their guesses, they don't actually know; besides elven stuff is like drugs and apparently some people like doing drugs!)

BOB I have laughed so hard I have hic cups

TMO (Craigh): mission accomplished!

Lisa (Indigo): lol

TMO (Craigh): we have defeated a god!

Carissa (N'laea): it's fun breaking bob

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

N'laea: Just... be respectful. That is all.

Indigo: I'm respectful

N'laea: I do not worry about you.

Carissa (N'laea): looking directly at Tiberius

N'laea: looking directly at Tiberius

BOB LOL

Indigo: He's a prince. He's used to dealing with important people. He'll be fine

Bixi Fizzlebang: I just want to go in there, say "hello, here is your cloak that we found, it's very beautiful, we hope you're happy to have it back, here's some presents thank you for letting us give your cloak back, bye" and then go home for some cheese.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I do not want to do rescue missions

N'laea: Yes. There should not be reason to linger provided we find her quick enough.

Craigh: nods

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks pointedly at Tiberius

Raelynn: Ummmmm

Raelynn: But.......

Raelynn: bites her lip and whispers

Raelynn: You're version of quick isn't the same as... other people.

Raelynn: *your

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh no, is there a time traveling half ghost in elf god lands?

Raelynn: No no no. It's just.... elves can be... elves.

BOB That is a quote

Raelynn: I, um, I'm better at.... time, but um, not.... all of us... are.

N'laea: frowns

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't even know what that means, so I think I must be part of the "not all of us"

Raelynn: No. You're good at time. It's just... MOST elves are... not.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I will trust the elves to know best in this situation and follow directions

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks pointedly at Tiberius again

Raelynn: So quick might not be.... quick. And the gods might... not let us find them quick.

Raelynn: Because... um, well, ...elves.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well that's fine. As long as it's not OUR fault for upsetting someone

Bixi Fizzlebang: stares at Tiberius

Indigo: If we can find her house and she's not home we could just leave it with a note or something

N'laea: I will not leave until I hand it directly to her. You may, but I cannot.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Would it be safe to just leave a cloak?

Indigo: You haven't see Branadarus with the Queen and stuff. He'll be fine

Indigo: Right?

Indigo: looks at Branadarus

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is that their celebrity couple name?

Lisa (Indigo): That is their last name

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Tiberius Branadarus: I have never met a Goddess before but how much more important can they be?

Carissa (N'laea): But yes, together they are... Bran Bran

Tiberius Branadarus: I grew up with a witch for a mother

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh. Their last name is also their celebrity couple name... that's adorable

Craigh: Dear Goddess, found your robe, had it dry-cleaned, here it is. Bye!

N'laea: tries to emphasize it this time

N'laea: She is the mother of all elves.

N'laea: ALL elves.

Craigh: Metaphorically, or literally?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I guess it would be Branadarus. Or Talwin.

N'laea: There are precious few as important as her.

Tiberius Branadarus: See I know how to get along with mothers

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Branberius?

Indigo: That's why I said we could wait outside outside

Raelynn: She really is! We sprang from her and Corellon! Um, depending who you ask is how it happened, but it happened!

Tiberius Branadarus: yes outside outside instead of OUTSIDE outside

Bixi Fizzlebang: I worry that we would be waiting... a LONG time

Indigo: But if you are half elf so her and someone else?

Tiberius Branadarus: OOOOO

Raelynn: bites her lip again

Raelynn: It's still important to me.

Tiberius Branadarus: Raelyn has a secret past

Indigo: I know

Tiberius Branadarus: Wow

Tiberius Branadarus: I never knew

Bixi Fizzlebang: Who doesn't?

N'laea: How could you not?

Indigo: I don't have a secret past

N'laea: The little gypsy girl says you're the one who told her how to tell if someone is an elf or not.

N'laea: Something about ears.

Tiberius Branadarus: I always thought you could tell an elf by the ears

Tiberius Branadarus: OH

Tiberius Branadarus: YES!!!!

Tiberius Branadarus: Indigo!

Tiberius Branadarus: that is how we solve it

Indigo: Ears?

Tiberius Branadarus: when we get there we just ask to see their ears!

Craigh: waits to see where this conversation is going.

Tiberius Branadarus: THAT will prove how gets the cloak

Bixi Fizzlebang: buries her face in her hands

N'laea face palm

Indigo: sighs

Indigo: They're all elves! We're the only ones that won't be

N'laea: Perhaps, as Branwyn says, you should let us take the lead here. For... all our sakes.

Indigo: No point

Tiberius Branadarus: I thought all elves has pointy ears Indigo?

Raelynn: Um, well mostly. But they have allies that aren't elves that might also be there.

Indigo: Yes and where we go they will all be elves

Tiberius Branadarus: I guess N'laea is right we should listen to Branwyn

Raelynn: Oh! No it's a forest so there'll be animals and stuff too!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): no point!? pun intended???

Tiberius Branadarus: She is much smarter than I am

Lisa (Indigo): always intended

Raelynn: And meadows and crystals and stuff!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oooh, the animals might be able to help us find them quicker!

Carissa (Raelynn): (thank you)

grins at Lemon All Puns are intended

Bixi Fizzlebang: Will I be able to cast spells there? Is there a mist or anything?

N'laea: shrugs

N'laea: We've never been. I cannot say.

Tiberius Branadarus: Huh, animal you say? should we take the leopard?

Tiberius Branadarus: Or the Elven cat?

Indigo: The Mist is from vampires so unless there are vampires there I don't think there will be Mist

N'laea: I... hmm, I do not even know if the other cats are coming.

Tiberius Branadarus: Bixi said we should take animals

Bixi Fizzlebang: Isn't one of them an elven cat?

N'laea: I will offer it to them. They may.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I did not!

Indigo: Demi and Dahlia are going to get sad if you take everyone away from them. I would leave the cat with them to play with

Lisa (Indigo): good idea on the cat!

Jilly: It is almost lunch time

Jilly: Did you want fruit? or bread?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): didn't we just finish breakfast?

(after how many hours of talking?)

N'laea: I am still full.

Indigo: Fruit please

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well, not that many, we didn't even start until 7:30

N'laea: Ah! Jilly, I was told you met a unicorn once?

blushes

Jilly: yes I did

Licornah : :: turns and listens quietly ::

N'laea: nods towards Licornah

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi's eyes widen

N'laea: She is a unicorn priestess.

Jilly: ooooo

Jilly: Don’t you just love their coats

Jilly: they are so soft and warm

Licornah : :: looks down :: I have only seem them from afar... I hope one day to get close enough

Jilly: and then their manes are just sooooo flowery and so dreamy

Craigh: chuckles a horse wearing a thick winter coat

Craigh: *picturing

Jilly: Oh I am sorry

HUGS Licornah

Bixi Fizzlebang: Jilly, how did you get so close to one?

Licornah : I am so happy for you... it's quite an honor.

Jilly: You will get to see one

Jilly: I hope

Licornah : Are you a Silvermaiden?

Jilly: Not that I know of

bounces her baby on her hip

Jilly: I was just trying to save Branwyn, she gets in trouble

Jilly: and someone has to save her

Licornah : What an honor for you ...

Jilly: so I went off into the woods

Jilly: and went to the bugbear keep to see if I could find her

Jilly: but then Billy was there and took care of the problems

Jilly: and so I was able to save Branwyn

Jilly: and here we are

Jilly: smiles

Raelynn: quietly to Bixi

Indigo: Jilly used to save everybody

Raelynn: They say if you've, um, had relations, you'll never meet one.

Jilly: Used to?

Bixi Fizzlebang: blushes

SMACKS Indigo with her spoon

Indigo: You're a mom now

Indigo: HEY!

Indigo: OWWW

Indigo: You save me from starving?

Indigo: grins

Jilly: Silly Raelynn, there are no unicorns in the Valoris Wood, Acien would know

Jilly: and you are always starving Indigo

Jilly: No one can save you from your hunger

Laughs

Raelynn: Oh. I didn't think there were any. I just was told how to meet one, or, um, why you might not.

Indigo: Not always!

Jilly: BUT I have a strudel for you for dinner tonight

Indigo: Good! Thank you!

Jilly: Raelyn, silly I know what you mean

Jilly: If you do not believe in them you will not see a unicorn

Jilly: I believe in them

Jilly: They just do not live near here

Licornah : :: nods in agreement ::

Raelynn: Oh. Hmm. I only know the rumors around the temple...

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How can Jilly have a baby but also be that naive?

(the joy of Jilly)

Jilly: Where are you going this time?

Jilly: I need to know how much to pack for Indigo

N'laea: The Elven plane.

Craigh: I think we may need more food than normal, if foraging for local food is going to be a problem.

Jilly: Did he ever tell you about the time I had to go with him all the way south and I ended up buying more cooking gear because he lost all of our things?

N'laea: Oh, foraging is likely fine. It is cooked meals I am unsure about.

Jilly: OH Craigh, you think I need to come with you to cook?

Jilly: That would be fun

N'laea: Hunting is... dependent.

Jilly: I have not been on an adventure in

Raelynn: points to the baby

Raelynn: Isn't that why?

Jilly: She can come with

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): where are grandma and grandpa when you need them?

Jilly: or I can leave her with the nanny

N'laea: I do not think we need so many to return a single item.

BOB Points to Branwyn to explain the Grandfather idea

Youtargim: I am happy to come along but I do not want to be a baby sitter, sorry Countess

Bixi Fizzlebang: From the sounds of things, Jilly, we might be gone for a long time, and Tiberius might get us in trouble with some goddesses.

Raelynn: We shouldn't bring a baby with us anyways. That seems wrong.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't think you'd want to risk that with the baby so young still

Indigo: looks up from her book

Carissa (Raelynn): (and the gods might believe us once when we say "we're not with him!" but not twice)

Branwyn: looks up from her book at Youtargim

Branwyn: No one asked you to

BOB LOL with Carissa

BOB and SCENE

BOB thank you everyone

Lisa: we ready to travel?

Carissa: I think at this point, N'laea is tempted to talk Branwyn into them both stealing away into the night and leaving everyone else behind

Lisa: LOL

BOB I need a 2d10 roll from Lisa for how many days it takes her to read the book and understand how to re-calibrate the amulet please

BOB and LOL

Lisa: [2d10 = 13]

BOB so 13 days

TMO (Craigh): from a purely practical point-of-view, Craigh is a logical one to leave behind.

BOB you started on 22-7-351 and end up on 8-8-351 when you are ready to leave

Carissa: And let his apprentice wander off without him??

Lisa: no TMO

TMO (Craigh): oh, I didn't think we would, merely pointing it out

Carissa: How will she manage without Craigh??

BOB that gives Craigh, Howard, and Johan 12 days to work on scrolls to take

BOB grins

Carissa: Also I disagree. Tiberius should clearly be left behind :)

TMO (Craigh): how do I stop talking as Craigh?

Lisa: lol

Carissa: release him

BOB as I said I have two, Lisa has two, Carissa has two everyone else has one character

Carissa: let him be free

Lorie: right click on icon and release

Lemon: Omg yes, leave Tiberius

BOB I want to break free,

TMO: ah, there we go. I did not think an Eraser icon was 'Release'

Carissa: ...so for when we split the party, you mean?

BOB I want to break free from your.....

Lisa: I miss him!

BOB someone else can add the link

Carissa: over my head and not sure that reference so... someone else

BOB Queen

Carissa: Encanto is still firmly stuck in my brain

Lorie: (it's always Queen) :: laughs ::

Carissa: Tiberius is fun, but man, he makes me worry.

TMO: I've got the stats for a second character, but still not sold on an idea yet.

Lorie: (we're two moments away from the Highlander Soundtrack)

Carissa: Also I still refuse to talk as that sword so you can prepare to talk to yourself if Tiberius is ever to meet it, Bob.

Lorie: (oh boy... talking sword, you should give it back)

TMO: aha! my second character! a sword!

Carissa: Yes! TMO can have it!

BOB but Branwyn, Indigo, Craigh, Licornah, Lanek, Bixi, Rae, N'laea, Talwin, Tiberius and Youtagrim

Carissa: I mean speak as it. I don't know if he has the stats for it.

TMO: Avast, ye scurvy swabs! Prepare to be run through!

Lemon: Can't you just give it to him?

Carissa: Sure that's fine. It's still not me talking as the sword :)

TMO: wtf is Craigh going to do with a sword?

Carissa: Well... the sword needs a good WIS roll and... I really really doubt Tiberius would make it.

Lemon: Talk to it?

BOB true

Lemon: seems like he could use a friend

TMO: lol

Carissa: I have no clue for his WIS roll or... sword fighting ability.

Carissa: We're not THAT shorthanded yet.

BOB Who am I missing

TMO: if we're talking Tiberius, LOW, and HIGH.

TMO: if it's Craigh, it's Middling, and LOW

Carissa: list looks correct to me

BOB 11 characters all together?

Carissa: and possibly one or two cats?

Carissa: At least the Elven cat.

Lemon: That's too many. I vote for leaving Tiberius.

Carissa: He'll win you over. Eventually. Maybe.

Lorie: I could just skip since I won't be here

BOB do you want to take one or two cats?

Lemon: I mean, he had me when he said I wasn't confusing... and then he quickly lost me

BOB you will be here Lorie, you are only missing next week

Carissa: Hmm... I'm really suspicious that the panther isn't just a panther and might actually have good senses if not.. a bit of attitude but therefore useful....

Lemon: I mean, we should probably ask them if they want to go

Carissa: Also think it'll pick a fight with the wolves if left behind.

BOB I am not saying yes to that Carissa,

TMO: me quickly slides a were-panther character idea to Bob

Lisa: but are you saying no?

BOB slides back to TMO I have a better idea

Carissa: Not saying yes to what?

Lemon: better is subjective

Carissa: Abnormal panther OR picking fights OR coming along?

TMO: I'll listen to your pitch

Lisa: lol

Lisa: D all of the above

BOB the group has to decide on what to do with three different cats

Carissa: lol

TMO: tie their tails together and bet on the fracas?

TMO: flees

Lisa: Spotty stay with the kids

Lemon: Imagine if we didn't bring all these cats back, how much easier our lives would be right now

Lisa: lol

Carissa: Well one has a home now if it stops ripping up furniture. Elven cat is mostly behaved and a cool creature anyways so can stay with N'laea for however long. But that panther... there is something about that panther that makes me want to keep it along for a bit, too.

BOB and I will have the number of scrolls that Craigh, Howard and Johan create, tell me what scrolls you are attempting and I will tell you how far you got next week

Carissa: Tempting as it is to just toss them all into the forest to be a different elf's problem :)

TMO: Craigh: Read Magic; Johan: Detect Magic; Howard: Dimension Door (4th)

Lemon: So, BOB, are you saying that if we ask the cats, they're going to answer whatever we want them to whether they go or not?

BOB and I will see how many of each you create TMO

Lorie: (good thing that panther didn't come with it's own amulet, or we'd have bigger problems -- :: laughs :: )

TMO: thx

BOB grins with Lorie

Carissa: wait wait no are we sure it didn't? maybe it does have a home and easy solution! :)

BOB and I never said anything about that Lemon

BOB You try to talk with the cats, grins

Lemon: Well it's just from the way you're talking, that's what I'm inferring

Carissa: Well she'll approach it like she has been: this is what we're doing, you're welcome to come if you'd like, but you are cats so you'll do what you want.

Lisa: The cats can say whatever they want but if you grab them and teleport they're going

Carissa: Oh duh, also true

Lemon: Yeah, I just feel like if we CAN talk to them, it's super rude to just drag them with us

BOB Would I ever give you four different story arc possibilities in one encounter?

Lemon: Like, if they don't want to go, they could just maul us

Carissa: minimum

TMO: do we need to answer that?

Lisa: I think the cats are happy they aren't in Pandemonium. They're good

BOB anything else for the night?

Carissa: they should be

Lemon: I mean we can definitely try to bribe them with cheese

BOB and when we pick up next week Branwyn starts her incantation to take you all to ...... what ever plane it is that you are going to after her research

Lemon: But if we're just dragging them with, Bixi is zero percent on board with that

Carissa: Olympus but I wasn't sure the elves knew that part

Lisa: ok

Lisa: you keep changing your mind on the cat thing

Lisa: you wanted to ditch them at the inn

Lisa: we adopted them so we could be nice to them

BOB the group has to tell me if any or how many cats are coming along

Lisa: if we want to take them on a field trip it's all good

Carissa: You can't just dump kitties no matter how big and sometimes rough

Lemon: Yeah but they were being DIFFICULT then, we still gave them the choice to come or not

Carissa: Eh just take the two if they'll go. Spotty can stay.

BOB cats? difficult? WOW

Carissa: Unless others object

Lisa: yes

Lisa: yes to you not yes to objecting

Carissa: lol didn't think you meant that but good to clarify

Lemon: lol, I Just got frustrated. Not used to dealing with cats

TMO: I say none - it's already going to be complicated

BOB Lorie before you go? yes to cats? or no?

Lorie: (I think the elven cat is a good idea as an ambassador)

TMO: but I'm okay if someone wants them

Lisa: and a gift

Lorie: (the other one, up to the group)

Lisa: we could get rid of one on the trip

Carissa: N'laea is already fostering. It is fact that 50% of fosters fail. Or some other number I make up.

BOB lol

Lemon: I would definitely be ok with the elven cat and maybe the leopard, but I definitely don't want to drag them against their will, so if y'all decide on that, I will be explaining to them that it was not my idea and I didn't like it. Whether they will care or not, who knows.

Carissa: But easiest way to find them a home if we don't want foster fails is to go out and show others they exist.

Carissa: No, panther would have to come, too. Still don't think it's a normal panther.

TMO: if there's a valid reason, I say it's okay to bring 'em.

BOB So it comes down to Elven cat alone or Elven cat with Panther

Lisa: leopard got adopted by Branwyn and she's staying

Lisa: she doesn't get to choose :)

Carissa: lol

BOB grins

Lemon: The leopard does seem very happy destroying the house she's living at now

BOB lol

Lisa: yes she's happy

Lemon: and she could probably escape if she wanted to

Carissa: Take them both. Maybe Solonor will show up and adopt the panther.

Lisa: if she wanted to she would have already

Carissa: Or maybe the panther will show a soft side and win Bixi over

BOB anyone objecting to the panther going along?

Lisa: not me

TMO: nope

BOB So we have our adventuring party

Lemon: Carissa, I wish you could have seen the face I Just made at that winning Bixi over comment

Carissa: :)

Lemon: but no objections

Lisa: Bixi could ride the panther

Carissa: True!

BOB 2 elves, a half elf, a gnome, a halfling, five humans, and two cats

TMO: 4.75 humans

Lemon: walk into a bar

Lisa: I'm going to take off

Lisa: Goodnight all!!

TMO: nite!

Carissa: Night!

'Lisa' disconnected

Lorie: Night all - see you in two weeks

BOB Would you like to try some honey?

BOB Have a great night everyone

Lemon: me too, I am exhausted. Goodnight!

'Carissa' disconnected

'Lemon' disconnected

Lorie: Let's go have tea with a beholder whilst we're at it

Lorie: I think that would be fun

BOB LOL yes Lorie

BOB it will be fun

Lorie: Good luck to everyone!

Lorie: Night

'Lorie' disconnected

TMO: thx for the game

'TMO' disconnected
