Carissa: found it

Carissa: this many windows is going to get old quick, though...

BOB Moon Phases are out of sync

BOB you should not need them all open, if I have it open then it should work for you

Carissa: (also Hi all)

Lorie: I see time within the Calendar (9:15am)

BOB Yes to Lorie also

Lorie: Mid_se, 25th Fey (Winter) SKR

Carissa: Yes but if I want to know what time it is I'll have to keep reopening it :)

Lisa: It looks very nice

Lorie: It looks great -- but if not open, I don't see it

BOB This is just the first pass, it will get better

Carissa: agree, the format is nice, makes it easier to tell the date

Spring: if i close the calendar, i don't see the time

BOB I can put the time/date into chat when it changes

Spring: and hi Lisa, hi Lorie, hi BOB

Lorie: :: waves ::

Lisa: Hi Spring! :)

Spring: i had a burp of massive latency about five minutes ago. i hope that's not gonna be the pattern. my internet ground to a halt last night

Spring: and i'm supposed to be on the fanciest plan

BOB It might be syncing Spring, I did add three new extensions and two new books

Spring: maybe. the latency was with a web page, but if FG was hogging all the b/w then i believe it

Michael: busy busy busy

BOB sorry for that Michael

BOB refilling wine

BOB brb

Lisa: Are they moving there permanently now Michael?

'Spring' disconnected

Lorie: How far is that from them now? Multiple states or just a few hours?

'Spring' connected

Spring: too bad the chat doesn't persist when you go out and come back in

Lisa: They are all in AZ now

Michael: Techincally, there are permanenetly there, but they have rented out an apartment for the company running

Carissa: the chat is my biggest complaint about FG, lol

Michael: We're moving up more of their furniture

Michael: Barb is essentially full time there now

Lisa: I know Spring. It's strange

BOB back

Lorie: :: nods :: Sorry, I'm in PA, so wasn't sure what kind of move that was... good luck to them

Spring: much luck to them

Michael: Ah. My bad. Yeah, it's about a 9 hour drive :)

BOB Yes to Spring

Michael: Pff, I'm the one hauling all this crap up...

Michael: LOL

BOB HAH for Michael

Lorie: Oh... so like North - South Florida move

Lorie: Got it

BOB also for players check your FGU folder to see if you have an HTML file for the chat log

Spring: are they going back to Koosharum?

BOB it saves to that file continusly for me

Lisa: where is it again?

BOB what ever folder you put FGU in

Lisa: okay - I don't want to look at the unformatted chat anyway :P

Carissa: lol

BOB chuckles

BOB so Michael while you are there

Lorie: esta pesando...

Spring: no, haven't found a chat log

Carissa: same no chat log

BOB OK

BOB Michael? are you caught up on the story what happened last week?

Spring: heckin heck, hungry again

Michael: Frrankly no

Michael: I've had some nasty curballs this week.

Carissa: tl;dr Bixi found an intelligence giant killing sword that is *probably* evil. But as a literal giant sword, only Talwin or Tiberius can wield it.

BOB nice Carissa

Michael: I understand everything

Michael: Perfect

Michael: So bob. Typcial....

Michael: lol

Carissa: there was some IC if you want to judge yourself if evil and/or how evil, but that's probably all you need for now :)

Spring: i know you meant curveballs but yours is funnier

Spring: dog testicles are just funny

Carissa: LOL I didn't notice that typo

Lisa: lol

Michael: lol

Spring: and those are mangy dog testicles

Michael: You aint seen nothing yet. I'm already insane

The date is Mid____se, 25th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR

Young Moon's phase is New Moon

Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent

The time is 9:15 AM

BOB That is what it looks like when I update both options

Lorie: Neat

BOB I can update only one or the other

BOB or both

Michael: Which do you prefer bob? We can deal

'TMO' connected

BOB I have both for a reason, grins

BOB and hello TMO

BOB Welcome to the calendar savior

Spring: hi TMO!

Lorie: Hey TMO

Michael: Hey TMO!!!

Lisa: Hi TMO! :)

Spring: i gotta stop buying sailor jerry. it's wildly inconsistent

Spring: michael, are your folks moving t koosherem?

Michael: I have so many questions after reading that statement Spring. As for folks, they *technically* already live there.

Michael: Dad is renting here until the company finally sells

Carissa: hi TMO!

Michael: Then I'm collectign my proceeds of the partnership and holding out hope that one day I can afford a home in this godawful economy that makes no fucking sense

TMO: howdy

Michael: ...

Michael: Sorry

Spring: ah okay got it. i knew that was the part where you have property but so many older folks head straight for St George

Michael: You can tell I have strong feelings LOL

Michael: Nope. They bought 80 acres so they could literally never see another human again if they wanted to

Michael: (I'm so jealous lol)

Spring: oh that's nice! maybe they can sell you a slice

Michael: I have a hundred year lease on a few acres

BOB but we are only missing Lemon

BOB so you can move forward as you desire

'Lemon' connected

BOB just without the sword without her

Spring: i hope to inherit the slice my granny sold my dad once upon a time

BOB SEE

BOB Ghosts in the Machine... Lemon in the Machine

Lorie: I like that Album

Michael: I hope to inherit my leased acres, but I don't mix busniess with family LOL

Spring: oh i see your lease comment, Michael. cool!

Carissa: ah damn, too many errors for kLoOge in the background now? I'm still so bad at seeing my spells in FG

BOB I have Klooge up and it is working for me

BOB did you update Java

Michael: If you want to see Klooge completel die Carissa, upgrade to windows 11

Spring: hi Carissa!

Raelynn: this computer won't let me update to Windows 11 so no problem there, lol

Carissa (Raelynn): let me update Java, it said connection issue

Carissa (Raelynn): but I haven't been good about updating Java anymore :)

Michael: Ah

Carissa (Raelynn): lol hi Spring

Lemon: Hello friends!

Carissa: Hi Lemon!

Lorie: Evening

BOB so Lemon has been exploring the new sword and Bixi might want to take a quick moment here IC to explain what she knows and what she things

BOB thinks

Spring: hi Lemon!

Michael: Yeah, fair warning to folks. I only have one computer that I have Windows 11 on (for security reasons) and I get a notice that "This program is incompattible with Windows". So you might have to adjust settings if you try and open on Win 11

Lorie: Evening Lemon

Lemon: Is everyone here already?

N'laea looking at Bixi like she's crazy

Lisa: klooge is saying connection refused

Carissa (N'laea): okay so not just me for that error

BOB Off to check KLooge

Lisa: it's quick - like the IP address changed or something

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): checking to make sure I switched correctly

Lisa: no worries

Michael: (Bob's Klooge computr croaked)

Michael: :)

Carissa (N'laea): thinking so, that's usually when I see that error

Bixi Fizzlebang: turns back to face her friends

BOB sorry will have to do that later

Lisa: ok no problem

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... this sword used to be a... person? Who was a slave to giants? And it wants to be released to kill all the giants together. Um. Yeah.

Craigh: Sounds fun. Who's it's owner?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Umm... I think me now

Carissa (N'laea): (no worries, I'll have to get used to checking spells in FG, see if I can figure it out)

N'laea: Released?

BOB IF you have any questions I can copy and past over from Klooge to here onto your character sheet

Licornah : Does the imprisoned soul have a name?

Bixi Fizzlebang: It was someone named Skara but it sounds like they are dead now

Craigh: I .. see. I think the sword might be missing a bit of critical information about its new owner.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Not sure about the name... I've asked twice with no answer, but I'll try again?

Carissa (N'laea): (nah just easier to see them is all; fully admit I haven't gone over to make sure all my spells made it, but I have a general idea of which ones to see. I just like klooge format better)

Branwyn: As in it wants someone to wield it in the sword's name

Bixi Fizzlebang: turns back to the sword

Bixi Fizzlebang: What is your name, and what do you mean by "released?"

Lanek: humph. imprisoned soul

Lisa (Branwyn): was talking about Frost Giants - was thinking it used to belong to the Frost Giant in the great hall

Lisa (Branwyn): In the IC chat

Raelynn: quietly, "That sword is HUGE compared to her. Does she plan to just... push it along?"

Spring (Lanek): ugh, hate frost giants

Carissa (N'laea): (cloud giant)

Michael (Talwin): Stiffles a chuckle

Branwyn: That could get quite loud on the stone floors

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, I already asked it if it would let someone else carry it, nerds. I didn't get an answer but...

Carissa (N'laea): (Bob used a big word to describe a specific type of cloud in his IC, lol)

Craigh: Attention all giants. Please lay down on the floor and remain still as I slowly shove this blade through each of you in turn.

Carissa (N'laea): (oh used to.... maybe I should have napped longer, lol, sorry)

Lanek: all of you with your fancy spells, nobody can shrink the thing?

Raelynn: Well if they didn't KNOW it was a sword, that could work. We didn't know it was sword.

BOB Before answering for Bixi, Branwyn, does know that intelligent weapons as far as she knows always contain the soul of a person

Talwin: Well, it's an imprisoned sword. Who knows what magic might do to that thing

Spring (Lanek): cumuloniumbus giant?

Raelynn: Just tell them... it's a wand to make them stronger. And make it look like a wand, and then, um, just poke them a little extra.

Talwin: Bran, you've dealt with weird daggers and weapons

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol spring, I had the same thought

Craigh: I suppose it's possible it's one of those swords that are magically light and maneuverable in the hands of its owner.

Talwin: She's lucky it isn't trying to possess her

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can I hear them talking about me?

BOB Yes to Bixi hearing the group talking about her

Carissa (Raelynn): (noctilucent "fool)

Branwyn: Bixi suceeded in taking control but yes there is what seems to be a very angry soul in there

BOB and can respond to Talwin's comment specifically

Talwin: Calls Out: "Sorry Bixi, just worried about you"

Spring (Lanek): oops brb

User has gone AFK. (Spring)

Bixi Fizzlebang: turns back around for a second and says excitedly, "It tried to possess me I think but it said my will was strong!"

Talwin: Slaps Hand to Face

Talwin: Turns to Bran

Talwin: "Told you"

N'laea: Small body, strong will.

Talwin: "The spirit is strong, but the flesh is weak"

Branwyn: smiles

Bixi Fizzlebang: So... um... what should we do about it?

Branwyn: Very strong spirit

Craigh: Can you lift it?

Talwin: I can tie a series of grips so you can sling it over your shoulders?

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks at Craigh like he's crazy

Talwin: It will make at least carrying it easier for you

Branwyn: Talwin, it is 3 times Bixi's size

Craigh: Might be magically light in your grip.

Talwin: Sigh

Talwin: Trying to help

Craigh: Probably isn't, but could be

Talwin: Mutters

User is back. (Spring)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is it safe to touch it?

Craigh: shrugs.

Talwin: If you cover it up tight so it doesn't make contact with me, I'll carry it for you.

Branwyn: It should be perfectly safe for you to touch it

Lipthink (giant sword): (to Bixi only) What would you like me to be? I was Lipthink when I was the village hunter now I have called myself Reven

Talwin: Oh

Talwin: In that Case, I can just carry it for you then until you decide when you need it

Talwin: <Shrugs>

Talwin: Up to you though

Lanek: fller i still think you are gonna need a helper to carry it

Lanek: that is just sooooo looooooong

Bixi Fizzlebang: to the sword "Hmm, Reven has a nice ring to it. The other one seems hard to say."

Talwin: Too bad it's not a lot thinner, you could use it as a spear...

Lisa (Branwyn): I meant Bixi - I thought anyone who grabs an intelligent weapon has to make an ego check

Lanek: *feller

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Did I touch it already when I investigated the torch?

Talwin: (oh sorry. I missed that part. Then yeah, we want it covered before I help with it)

Talwin: (Talwin magic resist SUCKS)

Carissa (N'laea): (careful, Revan was a Sith Lord and Reven is only one letter away)

Lisa (Branwyn): I think you had to have

Talwin: (Found the Knights of the Old Republic Fan....)

Carissa (N'laea): (it's an ego roll which is... WIS I believe)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): (to Bixi only) Then Reven I am

Carissa (N'laea): (heck yes best game!)_

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I think it's appropriate for this sword to be a sith lord and I full welcome in our new overlords

Talwin: (I will debate you any time any where...)

Michael (Talwin): sorry

Carissa (N'laea): (lol okay maybe not best, but definitely good)

Michael (Talwin): Forgot Alt

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well Revan... what does it mean to release you?

Bixi Fizzlebang: turns back to the group

Michael (Talwin): (And just giving you a hard time :) I love the KOTOR)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): (to Bixi only) I feel free when the blood of giants is flowing because of my might

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's name is Revan, it doesn't know about any chain, and it just wants to murder giants

Talwin: I mean...that's all it wants? To murder giants?

Branwyn: Lovely

Lanek: grummph, can't disagree with it

Bixi Fizzlebang: That's what it sounds like

Bixi Fizzlebang: shrugs

Talwin: ....Spell for Sense Evil Intent anyone?

Lanek: murder is kinda strgon word innit?

Lanek: *strong, sheesh

Talwin: Hm... Don't know about that fov

Carissa (N'laea): (we can do a know alignment check later if we want)

Talwin: gov

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... it maybe wants to genocide giants, actually

Carissa (N'laea): (if only Brer had left his eye with us)

Talwin: Lovely

Spring (Lanek): i shoulda said idnit

Branwyn: Have you asked Reven whether someone can help you carry it?

N'laea: Based on those ears... it could possibly be mutual.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I have, but he... it? he? hasn't answered yet

Bixi Fizzlebang: turns back to Revan

Talwin: (How are you doing the Red action hotkey. I cannot fo rthe life of me find it)

Michael (Talwin): ALT

Michael (Talwin): sorry Lisa

Bixi Fizzlebang: Revan, it's very possible that we will need you to um... take care of some giants here. But I can not carry you... would it be ok if one of my friends carried you?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I am typing /action before it, because I also can not remember the hotkey

Michael (Talwin): thank you

TMO (Craigh): for me, ACTION is Ctrl Key. OOC is Alt

Craigh: looks around

Talwin: Stretches

Michael (Talwin): TY

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): If you will release me, I will do my best to bend them to my will so that we can go defeat the giants

Lanek: scratches his mostly bald and scarred head

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): (To Bixi only)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... he will let someone carry him, but he will also try to bend them to his will... which I assume means giant genocide.

Michael (Talwin): OOC Lovely Sword you found for yourself

Bixi Fizzlebang: turns back to her friends

Bixi Fizzlebang: who wants to try!?!?

N'laea: It means control. I do not know if there is a way to... prevent that?

Talwin: Er. Yeah, I don't like the sound of that, despite the enthusiasm of the sword

Talwin: Unless he's a better swordsmaster than I am, I'll keep my wits about me in a battle thanks

Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean, he IS a sword so the chances of that are probably pretty good

Bixi Fizzlebang: shrugs

Talwin: Rolls eyes

Bixi Fizzlebang: So... do we just... leave him?

Talwin: OK. Well, i'd prefer to judge a situation before committing genocide without hesitation. Better?

Carissa (N'laea): (two orison casts or points can add +2 WIS to anyone who wants to try)

Talwin: <Shrugs>

Craigh: Sounds to me like we leave it here, for the time being at least?

Branwyn: We should probably keep moving so someone should try to take it if we are going to

Carissa (N'laea): (although I am assuming Licornah also has Orison to do that)

Michael (Talwin): I'll try but it's totally her sword. I'll feel like shit

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I think it was only... Tiberius and Talwin? who could carry it?

Michael (Talwin): She earned it and everything

Talwin: Up to you

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, I do not want it, I promise

N'laea: (although I am assuming Licornah also has Orison to do that)

Carissa (N'laea): (ugh not what I typed)

Lisa (Branwyn): You have to roll a d20 but not sure what you have to make to succeed

Carissa (N'laea): (*lol no, if you fail you'll feel possessed, which may also feel like shit ;) )

Lisa (Branwyn): priests could bless and chant to help

Michael (Talwin): (Bob can you tell me what those odds would be with the orison wisdom)

Carissa (N'laea): (depends what the roll is)

Michael (Talwin): What I could have to make? I'll go for it if she's cool

Carissa (N'laea): (and some math help if bless/chant is better chances over temporarily adding WIS or other stat)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well I definitely can't carry it, so I would say it's up to you, if you can carry it. I don't want to be the reason a genocidal sword takes you over

Talwin: Sighs

Talwin: Just be ready to knock me out if I go insane yeah?

Talwin: Anyone want to pop an orison on me?

N'laea: Before or after the giants are dead?

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks at Tiberius

Bixi Fizzlebang: Are you ready to knock Talwin out?

Lisa (Branwyn): If someone grabs it from him if he loses, what happens?

Craigh: steps away from Talwin.

Talwin: <Shrugs> Might help if they need to be dead

Lorie (Licornah ): FGU is a bit laggy for me... but sure

Tiberius: I can take the sword if you really need but I am not experienced with those types

Lisa (Branwyn): Can Tinerius wrestle Talwin for the sword if Talwin loses the roll?

Lisa (Branwyn): Tiberius

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, yeah, we just need Tiberius to be backup

Craigh: Someone want to guard the door, make sure he can't get out?

Indigo: I will

BOB IF Talwin is taken over

BOB How will you know?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Revan, one of my friends is going to carry you. He also wants to kill giants, so I think you might be able to be friends!

Michael (Talwin): I assume I'll be trigger happy for giants

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ever the optimist

BOB to put a finer point on it how do you know Bixi has not?

Carissa (N'laea): (I assume he'll start talking funny, but assumption)

Michael (Talwin): She's willing to give up the sword is a good indication

Michael (Talwin): It's not a MY PRECIOUS

BOB Smiles at Michael

Michael (Talwin): Act and all

Carissa (N'laea): (Ah ha! Yes, my fellow friends! Let us go over there and stab, er, talk to some giants! Friends!)

Spring (Lanek): hahaha

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

TMO (Craigh): she's not acting like a homicidal sword

Talwin: I would imagine that my friends no how I would act better then a sword. Just ask me something only Talwin would know or...something. Shit I don't care, but I have to step away in two minutes so cast the Fortify and I'll roll the olde 20 sided

Bixi Fizzlebang: Revan wants to go ghost hunting with me too and kill all the giant ghosts!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ever the optimist.

Talwin: [d20 = 17]

Talwin: Add seomthing to that. BRB in 10

Lisa (Branwyn): looks good

BOB And Bixi is handing over the sword?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Absolutely

Carissa (N'laea): (can she? is she physically able to just hand it over? :P)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): sorry if I just got us all killed by Talwin

Talwin: False Alarm. I'm back

Michael (Talwin): Suicide by Talwin

Carissa (N'laea): (and were we adding stats to his roll or too late?)

Michael (Talwin): It was implied

Michael (Talwin): To save time

BOB and so yes Talwin has the sword and is in control

BOB Lemon can play the sword next week I will for this week

Branwyn: Talwin, how do you feel?

Carissa (N'laea): (Talwin has Lemon in his head, poor thing)

Michael (Talwin): (KK. And it's still Bixi's sword for whenever she wants it back)

Lisa (Branwyn): lol

Talwin: Er. I'm not sure?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What are the chances that it will soak up some of my personality and be forever an optimist about giant genocide for Talwin?

Craigh: Any sudden homicidal urges?

Talwin: Was I supposed ot hear a voice in my head or seomthign?

Branwyn: Then you are in control. Good

Talwin: Apart from normal?

Talwin: Not really

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): (To Talwin only) Ahhh I see why she wanted me to have you, we are going to be an amazing pair

Talwin: Are we back at the governers estate? I still wish I could kill some annoying miners...

Talwin: HOLY SHIT

Talwin: Jumps Back Sword in Hand

Talwin: OK

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): (to Talwin only) We are going to make these floors wash in blood

Bixi Fizzlebang: ducks

Craigh: Minors are the opposite of giants

Talwin: Did not see that coming

Talwin: Rolls eyes at Craigh

Talwin: Sorry all

Talwin: Everything is fine for now

BOB (LINK)

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

Talwin: Just didn't expect that

Branwyn: Ignore it if it gets too carried away

BOB There you go Michael for using the sword

BOB two hands, etc

Talwin: (To Sword only) Yes we shall. Just maybe a bit more carefully then your used to eh? We'll make the red flow in due time

Michael (Talwin): And Thank you for Link Bob

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Fantastic! I don't even have to worry about persuading it to belong to someone else now!

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): There can never be too much blood (to Talwin only)

Branwyn: But we should probably get moving and keep searching. I was thinking perhaps we do not cover our tracks so that the giants will discover the stolen sword. Maybe that will cause some infighting and buy us some more time

The date is Mid____se, 25th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR

Young Moon's phase is New Moon

Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent

The time is 9:25 AM

BOB and there you go for advancing time now

BOB OR this option

The time is 9:25 AM

BOB I am guessing the second is what people would like to have

Talwin: (To Sword only) Oh, you should have been with me in the free cities. Rivers and soaked mud with nothing but blood. It get's inconvenient at the very least

Michael (Talwin): I mean, the second one is easy for me to understand quickly

Carissa (N'laea): (the are the same?)

Michael (Talwin): Pick which one you want more

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well, I'm ready to move out any time

Carissa (N'laea): (unless you mean ALL the info versus just the time)

N'laea: Yes. Let's go.

Carissa (N'laea): (I don't actually know where we've been or how we got here)

Carissa (N'laea): (N'laea can be up front with Indigo/Craigh since you guys did some of that last week until I have a better idea so we don't search same places?)

Lisa (Branwyn): we id all the rooms around here so we need to go down one of these long hallways

Craigh: Up the hallway is where we go next

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, we are in the room next to the hallway that connects to the room with the sleeping giants. We have not gone very far, and we have checked many pockets and chests and found only ears and moldy cheese. Oh, and a giant sword.

N'laea nods

Carissa (N'laea): (yeah, reading where you went isn't easy to visualize, lol)

Lisa (Branwyn): there?

Craigh: Anybody lurking outside the door?

TMO (Craigh): Yes

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We have been to one other room.

Carissa (N'laea): (now that's easier to understand, lol)

Michael (Talwin): This really works out well for Talwin since all his points are in Two Handed....

BOB Indigo is at a door

Lisa (Branwyn): someone can move ahead if they want to be careful - Indigo will just go around opening doors

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Peeked in the other nearby ones I think, but I'm pretty sure this is only the second one we actually went inside of

Lisa (Branwyn): 3rd

Lanek: mutters to himself that they ought to want someone checkin for traps

Carissa (N'laea): (don't jinx yourself, Michael. You haven't dealt with Lemon in your head yet)

Michael (Talwin): LOLOLOLOLOL

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ah, 3rd then. We have not gotten very far, at any rate

Indigo: opens door and walks inside

Lanek: facepalm

Raelynn gestures for the muttering man to go in front of her

BOB Did you notice that Carissa that you tried to move through a wall and it stopped you?

Carissa (Raelynn): (nope)

TMO (Craigh): happened to Craigh

Michael (Talwin): We figure its our spazziness that causes us to not notice little things like that bob

Carissa (Raelynn): ((I remember something like that last week, but didn't see it. It still let me drag but I can't... undrag? So I just left it)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, I am imagining her character walking face first into the wall and then just stopping for a minute.

Carissa (Raelynn): (Rae? Yeah, could happen, lol)

BOB Ok, so Indigo moved forward, got up to a door, Craigh and Youtargim are catching up

Spring (Lanek): so i guess nothing happened to indigo then?

Lisa (Indigo): you rejected Indigo's move?

BOB I want to make sure everyone knows waht is happening

Carissa (Raelynn): (N'laea was supposed to be up there, did she get rejected, too?)

BOB about to accept Indigo's move

BOB and you have 2/3 of the group down in the other room

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi is staying a safe distance back until she knows no giants are murdering Indigo.

Lanek: whispers to Raelynn, let's hang back a minute

Lisa (Indigo): hallway has no room unless others move up too

This is a typical giant kitchen with counters along the walls, several tables, benches, a stool or two, and various items for cooking and baking (pots, kettles, bowls, knives, forks, spoons, ladles, spits, and so forth). There are 29 orc about the place. There are 5 giantess serving maids and 11 young ogre servants.

Picture

Raelynn nods and recloaks herself

Michael (Talwin): For movement of the walls and the game (LINK)

<a href="https://youtu.be/BLjKr1AEMnU?t=7">(LINK)</a>

Carissa (Raelynn): (Oooooh can we make the feast angry?? All Rae needs is where they make the food...)

Indigo: looks around and then goes back to the hallway and shuts the door again

Michael (Talwin): (Responding to Lemon)

Lanek: smirks

Indigo: That's the kitchen. Its got dozens of orcs and giants and ogres

N'laea: Did they see you?

Indigo: Don't think so

Craigh: listens at the door.

Indigo: They aren't coming out here so probably not

BOB So they might

Lisa (Indigo): They might be giants?

BOB that was less than a round for Indigo to open the door see all that and then come back

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol at this link Michael

BOB Bingo Lisa

Spring (Lanek): ha!

Indigo: I don't think they would keep a magical chain in the kitchen anyway

BOB Right now you have a closed door and Indigo and Youtargim standing in front of it

Indigo: Maybe we should go back to the other long hall?

Bixi Fizzlebang: But maybe they would keep a door to a basement?

Indigo: Unless we want to fight the cooks

Bixi Fizzlebang: No thank you

Craigh: It leads this direction too, but might go to a different place.

Lanek: we better go the other way round

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm starting to think we should have chosen the other door at the beginning

Indigo: There's like 40 people to fight in there if we go in

Indigo: Well not people but you know

Craigh: I'd rather not

Spring (Lanek): oh we already looked down the other long hall?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I definitely don't think we should go in unless we have to

Michael (Talwin): Hey, Giants are people too!

N'laea: I do not think servants are fighters, but best not to find out. But if they raise the alarm...

Spring (Lanek): or 40 to fight in the kitchen?

Lisa (Indigo): tell your sword that

BOB QUTOE for lisa

Michael (Talwin): He thinks they are people....just people worth killing....

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Michael (Talwin): Also LOL

Carissa (N'laea): lol

Indigo: So let's go someplace else then

BOB So Indigo is up at the end of that hallway Licornah is at the crossways

BOB you did all three of those doors plus the one up top

Lisa (Indigo): he's at the back now so someone else can pick a path

Carissa (N'laea): apparently Nlaea never moved so right out of here?

BOB That is why Licornah was there

Carissa (N'laea): we didn't do that, did we?

Spring (Lanek): oh did we go too far back?

TMO (Craigh): we've done all three of these rooms.

BOB you came in that way but it seems the only way to go yes Carissa

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): These hallways are big enough for giants, surely people can move around Bixi

BOB Yes to Lemon

Lanek: did we do this door all the way to the right?

BOB That is how you came in Spring

BOB and it seems the only way out other than the kitchen that Indigo found

Spring (Lanek): if we were to go out the door we came in and then take a left, did we already do that, i mean

BOB no

Spring (Lanek): i thought we came from further down

BOB you did

Carissa (N'laea): okay is this an FG problem or are you not approving Nlaea moving?

BOB you can click on the door to open it

Carissa (N'laea): I don't know if the error is the program or you

BOB Both Carissa

Carissa (N'laea): ok

BOB you keep trying to move THROUGH walls

BOB so FGU stops you

BOB and so I reset you

Carissa (N'laea): I can't see a wall in front of her so I didn't know I was doing that

Lisa (Indigo): because it's fun and I have it shrunk because we are so spread out

BOB If you cannot see the map

Carissa (N'laea): does that work?

Carissa (N'laea): No, it's that her icon is overlapping what I'm assuming is a wall

TMO (Craigh): is the door open?

BOB Yes the door is open

Michael (Talwin): Apologies, I must step away

BOB and yes to Carissa

Carissa (N'laea): so she was catching her belt loop on the wall preventing her moving

BOB and for Lanek, a door there

Lanek: [SKILL] Find/Remove Traps [PERCENT:Find/Remove Traps] (vs. Target 70) [SUCCESS by 25] [d100 = 45]

BOB No traps for Lanek

Lanek: okay y'all i have a hallway and a door, what do you think? no traps over here

Lanek: mebbe i'll open the door a crack and peek in

BOB to refresh Spring's memory to the left (up) is a hallway you have not gone down, to the upper left is an unknown door

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 12]

Spring (Lanek): upper left or upper right?

BOB to the lower hall is the door you came in

Lisa (Indigo): I think everyone would understand that the room to the right would be the great hall and the kitchen to the left from walking around

Spring (Lanek): i see an extra door right by my elbow

Carissa (N'laea): (oooh... we're still on the first floor? for some reason I thought we were up a floor)

BOB as Lanek is facing North, there is a hallway, on his right hand side is an unknown door that does NOT match up with the great hall that you went into earlier

BOB and the door behind Lanek down that short hallway is how you came into this area

Craigh: trails behind the rest of the group now.

Lanek: awright i'mma peek in this door

BOB you can open the door

Spring (Lanek): opens just enough to keep through

Spring (Lanek): i did open

There are 30 helmets, 26 shields, 22 spears, 9 clubs, and 3 great axes around the place. None of these are of use to the party.

Lanek: armory. useless. it's all too big

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe try the other hallway?

Lanek: and sweaty

Carissa (N'laea): of no use? says who??

Spring (Lanek): says the DM :-P

Carissa (N'laea): lol

N'laea: Unless we hide it from them. If we end up fighting, do we want them to have access to that?

Lanek: good point

BOB Sring I negated that movement because you went through a wall

Spring (Lanek): can i reverse open locks to mess up the lock?

BOB and yes to Spring on reverse open locks

Spring (Lanek): closed the door

Lanek: [SKILL] Open Locks [PERCENT:Open Locks] (vs. Target 20) [FAILURE by 78] [d100 = 98]

Lanek: crap

Carissa (Raelynn): (make sure there isn't another way in)

BOB that does not work

Lisa (Indigo): Is there a lock on the door?

Raelynn: Maybe an illusion?

Lisa (Indigo): they probably have a key anyway

Lanek: be my guest

Raelynn: Unless someone knows an easy way to make all that gear useless.

Lisa (Indigo): fireball

Carissa (Raelynn): LOL

Lanek: maybe you can illusion is like it don't exist

BOB LOL

Raelynn looks at Bixi, The Ghost Hunting Gnome Illusionist

Lanek: the door or the gear, either

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... I'm not sure I could do anything that would last after we walk away from here?

BOB (make sure there isn't another way in)

BOB via Cariisa

N'laea: Are you checking the whole room?

BOB no

Carissa (N'laea): (that was to Lanke)

Lanek: know what, i didn't get a good look at if there's another door

The date is Mid____se, 25th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR

Young Moon's phase is New Moon

Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent

The time is 9:35 AM

Lanek: better look again

N'laea: starts going then gestures for him to go ahead

Lanek: damn. there is

BOB There is a door in the lower left

BOB right

N'laea: Where does that door lead?

BOB you do not know

Carissa (N'laea): lol still to Lanek

TMO (Craigh): Can the rest of the group catch up?

Spring (Lanek): opening the door just enough for a peek

BOB Yes I am waiting to approve moves

Spears, shields, clubs, and axes are abundant here - no fewer than 12 of each, all sized for giants, of course. There are 4 great swords (two-handed with respect to man-sized creatures), 2 huge iron maces, and a sheaf of 6' long spears the giants use for javelins. All shields are against the walls.

Spring (Lanek): holding for a minute to let y'all do that

TMO (Craigh): Licornah, you're next

'Michael' disconnected

Lorie (Licornah ): (I think BOB wants me here, I'll hold for the moment and let anyone around)

BOB Anyone can move as you wish

Lanek: depending on what's on the other side of this door, we might wanna take one of these weapons and put it through the door handle to jam the door, if we can

Raelynn: That would be simple and effective.

N'laea: That would be simple and effective.

BOB for Craigh that needed to go around a corner

TMO (Craigh): that's roughly where I was going, visibility down multiple halls.

Carissa (N'laea): (so the smaller room south had the extra stuff? can we more easily figure out that big door from there goes to the great hall?

Youtargim: Thinking I might want to be close to you (to Raelyn)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We should be able to hear the noise from here?

Raelynn: I have my cloak on. You might just more easily give me away.

Youtargim: I do not think you give anything away

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is he hitting on her?

Carissa (N'laea): (yup, lol)

BOB any other movement before Lanek opens that new door?

Carissa (N'laea): (can eye rolling be seen when she's 90+% invisible? lol)

BOB Talwin Branwyn Tiberius in the guest room

BOB Licornah and Indigo in the hallway

BOB etc

Lisa (Indigo): the hallways may be giant size but so are our icons

Spring (Lanek): peeky peek

Carissa (Raelynn): so quick clarification: all that gear you mentioned in two different descriptions are in this room that Nlaea and Lanek are in, yes?)

Lisa (Indigo): hard to manuever around

Carissa (Raelynn): lol Lisa

BOB Yes to Carissa

Spring (Lanek): okay no peek yet

There are 30 helmets, 26 shields, 22 spears, 9 clubs, and 3 great axes around the place. None of these are of use to the party.

BOB Room that N'alea and Lanek are in

Spears, shields, clubs, and axes are abundant here - no fewer than 12 of each, all sized for giants, of course. There are 4 great swords (two-handed with respect to man-sized creatures), 2 huge iron maces, and a sheaf of 6' long spears the giants use for javelins. All shields are against the walls.

Spring (Lanek): wait i didn't open the door and i didn't check for traps

BOB Room that Lanek just peeked into

Carissa (Raelynn): (okay that's what I was wondering)

Spring (Lanek): there's still a requested move, so no peek yet. or are we done moving?

Raelynn: There is another door into that room, too?

N'laea: There is another door into that room, too?

Carissa (N'laea): (one of these days I'll get it)

Spring (Lanek): the arms room has the door we went in and there's another door besides

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 20]

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): wow

Carissa (N'laea): (on the map that door looks similar to the one Talwin and Nlaea opened to great feast... can we reasonable guess that?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I feel like we should be able to hear the party from here?

Lanek: and there's a reason i wanna be twice as cautious with this door

Spring (Lanek): ooc

'Michael' connected

BOB Bixi is not in the room

BOB but she can say that to others

Lanek: [SKILL] Find/Remove Traps [PERCENT:Find/Remove Traps] (vs. Target 70) [SUCCESS by 67] [d100 = 3]

BOB Lanek says there are not any traps on this door

N'laea: (....yet)

Spring (Lanek): opens the door enough for only a peek

Spears, shields, clubs, and axes are abundant here - no fewer than 12 of each, all sized for giants, of course. There are 4 great swords (two-handed with respect to man-sized creatures), 2 huge iron maces, and a sheaf of 6' long spears the giants use for javelins. All shields are against the walls.

Bixi Fizzlebang: How close are we to the feast? Does anyone hear naything?

Carissa (N'laea): (the one you peaked into has all the weapons)

BOB Craigh and Rae are close enough to hear Bixi say that

Spring (Lanek): so that's two adjoining rooms full of weapons?

Carissa (N'laea): (so we should be okay going in there, it's the double door we can both glimpse that is likely the great feast)

N'laea: shrugs

Raelynn: shrugs

Carissa (Raelynn): (GAH)

TMO (Craigh): Craigh/Rae?

BOB Bixi asked a question

Craigh: I don't hear anything but you.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ouch

Carissa (N'laea): (Raelynn attempted to shrug, she has no obs)

Lanek: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 55) [SUCCESS by 3] [d100 = 52]

Raelynn glances at the Elven cat with giant ears

BOB Lanek hears the sounds of the party through the wall to the east of his icon

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I... we brought the cat into the giant fortress?

N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 10]

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

Carissa (Raelynn): (cat goes where the cat wants to go)

Lanek: stage whispers Bixi, i hear the fest through this wall

Raelynn : [Translation] Um, yes? Giants are... giant, you know? And I am not giant.

<font color="##000000">Um, yes? Giants are... giant, you know? And I am not giant.

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I think I'm too far away from Lanek to hear that, but I appreciate it nonetheless

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] I know I can slip between their legs and claw an eye if need be

<font color="##000000">I know I can slip between their legs and claw an eye if need be

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

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

N'laea: (cat goes where the cat wants to go)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wait... can we just send the cat exploring?

Carissa (N'laea): ....I just.,... I give up

N'laea: Then we need to block the door from the feast to these weapons.

Carissa (N'laea): (third time is a charm, so many apologies to Lisa for these edits, lol)

Raelynn : [Translation] Well that's useful, but not all of us can do that.

<font color="##000000">Well that's useful, but not all of us can do that.

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, so it's either up the hallway Bixi is standing by, or back to the front and try the other door?

Raelynn : [Translation] You don't have any...extra cat senses to find us an easier way to the chain, do you?

<font color="##000000">You don't have any...extra cat senses to find us an easier way to the chain, do you?

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

Lanek: i'm confused still. is the room i'm looking into a SECOND room of armaments? or did some SECOMD person look into the FIRST room?

Spring (Lanek): damn, OOC

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] Perhaps you can learn

<font color="##000000">Perhaps you can learn

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

Carissa (N'laea): (there are weapons in BOTH these rooms, the one we're in AND the one you are looking into)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You are just A SUPER PRO at looking into armament rooms

BOB Yes for Carissa

Spring (Lanek): thanks

BOB and yes to Lemon as well

Raelynn : [Translation] Learn...?

<font color="##000000">Learn...?

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): afk a minute to get more coffee.

User has gone AFK. (Lemon)

TMO (Craigh): I need to go afk for a bit.

User has gone AFK. (TMO)

Carissa (N'laea): so THAT is the big door that would be best to block or make hard to get through if we want to take away weapons or you know, make access more difficult

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] You can learn to take out an eye

<font color="##000000">You can learn to take out an eye

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

Spring (Lanek): concur

Raelynn : [Translation] Oh, well yes, that might be helpful one day, but right now I'd prefer we just find that chain for the goddess and leave.

<font color="##000000">Oh, well yes, that might be helpful one day, but right now I'd prefer we just find that chain for the goddess and leave.

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

Lanek: glares irritably at the cat

BOB Cat and Rae are back in the hall not visible or audible to Lanek

Spring (Lanek): oh good

BOB Lanek is in the new room, N'alea is in the first weapons room

Spears, shields, clubs, and axes are abundant here - no fewer than 12 of each, all sized for giants, of course. There are 4 great swords (two-handed with respect to man-sized creatures), 2 huge iron maces, and a sheaf of 6' long spears the giants use for javelins. All shields are against the walls.

BOB Second room where Lanek is now

Spring (Lanek): apparently these walls and doors are well insulated and don't echo

Carissa (N'laea): (so three ideas: Bixi illusion so they think weapons are gone, your door locking idea, or we lean a shield against it, and Rae casts her make things super heavy spell which works if the doors only open in. Although if they cover the door it blocks the way, too...)

Spring (Lanek): i like that in a giant's lair

BOB Do you want to pause and go OOC for a moment to catch everyone up?

Carissa (N'laea): (yes)

BOB 45

Lanek: okie

The date is Mid____se, 25th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR

Young Moon's phase is New Moon

Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent

The time is 9:45 AM

Spring: i mean okie

User is back. (Lemon)

Carissa: Lemon is afk so don't know if illusion is an option yet. Nor if it's easily broken.

BOB So you have spent 30 minutes so far exploring the hallway, found the kitchen, came back found a weapons room, found another weapons room

Spring: she seemed to indicate it wouldn't last after she's left the artifact

BOB checked for traps a couple of times,

Spring: i thought for sure this room would be the armorer's quarters

Spring: with the armorer there or not

BOB The group is spread out through one room, then an empty room then a halle, and then another room

Raelynn: Rae's spell (which I can't copy and paste) makes an object 2-5 times heavier than the weight of the person(s) touching it. It lasts a day

Carissa (Carissa): (ugh I give up on this)

Lemon: +

BOB What spell Carissa?

Carissa: Weighty Chest

Lemon: I actually just don't know if my spells last after I walk away or not?

Lisa: I would just keep moving myself. Not much difference if a giant hits you with a club or his big ol' giant fist

Spring: okay so a lousy door stop, since you don't touch those

Carissa: Part of me hopes they're too drunk to even both with weapons.

Spring: i still think it's worth trying to wedge something in the door handle

Lemon: But would you have to cast it on every object?

BOB For days, an item is enchanted so as to grow {1d4+1} times the weight of someone trying to lift it.

Carissa: No, just a single tall shield blocking the door depending on how big that shield is to be an effective block

Lemon: ahhhhh

Carissa: But if we do move fast enough, I suppose you're right this might be more a time waster. We could just go Lanek trapping or breaking the locket as we walk by. Should be quicker.

Spring: i was thinking of apartment doors. there are things you can brace them with to make them hard to kick in

BOB it is 1d10 rounds to do a check for traps, the same for an open locks or the reverse

BOB so a single spell is much faster

BOB BUT weigh that against how many spells you have

Lemon: I have soften earth and stone in here but it has no description... is it priest or mage?

Carissa: Shoot can we just thread a sword through the door handles? How long does that take :P

BOB the checking traps, unlocking/locking is why it has taken 30 minutes to move from room to room

Carissa: priest

Lemon: Can I just make the stone in the room all squishy so if they come in, they can't get out again?

Carissa: that's good to know and maybe not... always needed?

Lemon: dirt, whatever

BOB The double doors open out from this room into where ever, the ones next to Lanek

Carissa: does it have handles?

BOB the door in opens into the room

BOB not on the inside

BOB it is a push open

BOB the lock is on the other side of these doors

Carissa: all right then, open to a vote: worry about access ro weapons or not?

Lemon: oooh, I have warp wood! Are the doors wooden? Can I meld them together so they don't open anymore after we leave?

Carissa: thought of that, but that'll definitely alert them to us

BOB Yes to Lemon and Yes

Lemon: oh

Carissa: or so I'm guessing

Carissa: but I could be wrong

BOB and for Carissa yes when someone tries the doors they will see something is wrong

BOB until they try them?

Lemon: continual darkness?

Carissa: oh, well, there you go

Spring: i like it

BOB OK so Lanek and N'alea can call back for assistance

BOB and the rest of the group can start moving

BOB and GO

N'laea: moves a bit back

N'laea: Bixi, can you take care of these doors?

User is back. (TMO)

Lemon: continual darkness or the warp wood thing?

Lanek: okay i can't do anything about these doors

Michael (Talwin): I'm sorry my friends. I think I need to call it for tonight. Thank you so much for the company this evening :)

Carissa (N'laea): (do we need to pass off the sword?)

Spring (Lanek): gnite michael!

Carissa (N'laea): (although not sure to who)

Lemon: oh wait, I don't know if I can do the doors

BOB can't pass the sword

'Michael' disconnected

Spell: Warp Wood

BOB it is with Talwin now

Carissa (N'laea): (oh well)

Carissa (N'laea): night michael

BOB just a moment Lemon

Carissa (N'laea): (er not that door)

BOB Bixi is back in the hallway

Lorie (Licornah ): (Good night)

Lemon: 15 inch x 1 inch diabeter per level

BOB No one has moved yet out of the hallway

Carissa (N'laea): just warp near where the door doors meet)

Lemon: Then I guess someone needs to send a messenger out to get me? lol

TMO (Craigh): (do you need Craigh for anything now that I'm back?)

BOB I just want to be clear on movement you have found two doors already that go into the great hall where the giants are feasting, so if someone stumbles into your area your icons are where they are

Lanek: hey craig. see if anybody else can do something about makin doorrs not open

Carissa (N'laea): (well if that isn't a hint)

Craigh: I can try. Locks aren't my specialty, but I'll give it a shot.

Craigh: The door N'laea's at?

N'laea: No, further in, but the lock is not on our side.

Lemon: I'm guessing those kitchen people are about to come at us.

N'laea: I had thought Bixi might have a spell to help.

Lanek: one of them magic people can mabe put some mojo or somethin

Lanek: mess it up or jinx it or somethin

Lemon: Wait. The giants are having a drunken feast at 9am?

Carissa (N'laea): Bixi is right there at the door open to the room so I'm hoping she'd hear us tralking about her

Craigh: [SKILL] Open Locks [PERCENT:Open Locks] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 46] [d100 = 61]

BOB Yes to Lemon, good for someone to notice

Lanek: i'm sure it's five o clock somewhere

Craigh: [SKILL] Rope Use [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 13]

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah but not here lol

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can Bixi hear them talking about her?

BOB so Craigh cannot figure out how to lock the doors on this side of the lock

Lisa (Branwyn): Maybe they've been at it since the night before - that is what I thought

Lorie (Licornah ): (They have been partying since before we got here)

BOB Yes to Bixi hearing them talk

Spring (Lanek): are giants nocturnal? maybe it's suppertime for them

BOB good for Lisa and Lorie

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So they're going to want to sleep soon? And we are in where their beds are?

Spring (Lanek): didn't see any beds

Spring (Lanek): oh wrong room

Lisa (Branwyn): We should keep moving

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The first two rooms we looked in, weren't they beds?

Lisa (Branwyn): yes barracks and a guest room

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oooh, I might be able to do something here! I can squish the doors together so they don't open any more! But do we have time?

BOB and yes Lisa sees the potential urgency

TMO (Craigh): Was Craigh able to do anything with the door using Rope Use?

Spring (Lanek): yea if this is the morning after, we should definitely be away from beds

BOB no to rope use

Craigh: kk

Craigh: I'm out of ideas.

Lisa (Branwyn): then let's go

Lanek: not these doors, Bixi

Carissa (N'laea): we talked spells for long enough, nothing happened, agree, let's go

Lisa (Branwyn): seriously - they are giants, they can break doors down and slam us with their fists - they don't need their weapons

Lanek: see that door over by N'leas? Craigh went through there and he's standin next to the doors we are talkin bout

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): even their own doors? I would assume they build their own doors stronger.

Craigh: looks around the room real quick while he's here.

Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 10]

Spears, shields, clubs, and axes are abundant here - no fewer than 12 of each, all sized for giants, of course. There are 4 great swords (two-handed with respect to man-sized creatures), 2 huge iron maces, and a sheaf of 6' long spears the giants use for javelins. All shields are against the walls.

Lisa (Branwyn): Tiberus could likely kick a human door down if he wanted to

Lanek: i mean you can do this door too, but not before that one

Lanek: we still gotta get out

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh! of course.

Bixi Fizzlebang: giggles nervously

TMO (Craigh): lol - and bixi accidentally locks Craigh in the storeroom

BOB One other hammer is out of sight in a corner, and it is seen by close inspection.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So... is Branwyn going to come rally the troops, or do I move into the next room and start casting lol

TMO (Craigh): does it appear to be deliberately hidden, or just casually chucked out of sight?

BOB Hidden

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's the next talking weapon!

Craigh: will try to lug it out of hiding.

Craigh: silently

Craigh: Welp, time to go.

Lisa (Branwyn): how many freaking talking weapons are we going to have?

BOB Is Craigh keepign the hammer?

Lisa (Branwyn): unless it is an alarm hammer

Spring (Lanek): i think he just demonstrated a hard pass

TMO (Craigh): we'll give it a shot, if he can even lift it.

BOB and is Bixi in the room to cast on the doors?

Lisa (Branwyn): bob wants to test combat remember - do we want to test it with him?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm still in the first room

BOB LOL with Lisa

BOB Just want to be sure about who is in which room

Lisa (Branwyn): My guys are wayyyyyy back taking a nap

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): praying the hammer only woke up the sleeping guards and not rallied the entire feast

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Did the cat say anything important?

Carissa (N'laea): (no)

TMO (Craigh): do we need to implement some sort of turn order? I think a lot of this is folks waiting for other folks to do something, and ends up with no one doing anything.

Carissa (N'laea): (I'm just waiting to see if you want to cast that spell, if not we'll keep moving)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well Craigh came running back in, so now I'm just kind of waiting to see if he's going to say anything

User has gone AFK. (Spring)

TMO (Craigh): OK. So, Bob - is Craigh carrying the offending hammer?

BOB Yes he can be

BOB it is not making any noise

TMO (Craigh): Thx.

Craigh: Hope that wasn't loud enough to alert anyone.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Did we hear it?

TMO (Craigh): does he hear any lauder raucousness in the next room?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The hammer, I mean. Did anyone in this room with me hear the hammer?

BOB No to louder in the room, yes to Bixi hearing it when Craigh picked it up

Bixi Fizzlebang: Who was saying that? What language was it?

Craigh: Not a clue. Another hunk of talking metal.

Bixi Fizzlebang: is speechless

Craigh: Um, answered not in the same order you asked.

BOB Mark that down Craigh

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): hahahahahahahha

BOB Bixi is speechless on 25-10-325

BOB 351

Carissa (N'laea): lol

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Look, Bixi barely talked in the beginning before she got to know people, I don't know why no one remembers that

Craigh: Do you have something you wanted to try, or shall we move along?

BOB It is a great roleplay Lemon, We all appreciate it

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... I think maybe we should just keep going. If that was loud enough to alert someone, I don't really want a giant walking in while I'm trying to mess up their doors?

Craigh: Sounds good. Shift feet.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm too little, they will squish me

Craigh: Me too

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok but I will be extra squished on account of being so small

Craigh: I'll shield you with my ribcage.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): stupid doors!

Craigh: ushers Bixi toward the exit

TMO (Craigh): h, that's N'laea next to me

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Did anyone in the hallway hear the hammer?

TMO (Craigh): I'm zoomed too far out

BOB no to Lemon

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... Craigh just found a talking hammer and it was pretty loud, we probably shouldn't hang around here...

Craigh: holds the hammer up.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): so the question is up the hallway, or out to the front?

N'laea: (sorry work stuff, thank you for moving me)

Craigh: Did someone say something about spiking their food?

N'laea: Oh! Me! Why?

Carissa (N'laea): ......

Raelynn: Oh! Me! Why?

Craigh: Is it something you can give me to do for you?

The date is Mid____se, 25th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR

Young Moon's phase is New Moon

Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent

The time is 9:55 AM

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It took us half an hour to find a hammer?

Craigh: Crud, I didn't memorize the right spell.

BOB 10 minutes

Indigo: Are we going to wait for the giants to come attack us?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh, I thought it said 9:25 last time

Branwyn: Seems so. You and Tiberius shall like that though

Bixi Fizzlebang: No! But I don't want to be in the front! I'm too little and squishy!

Tiberius: It would be fun

Raelynn: Well it has to be casts on the food as it's being prepared so unless you have food you want to be tossed in to be prepared, I don't know.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi suddenly embracing her smallness lol

Branwyn: We could wait in their beds for them to arrive

Branwyn: Surprise!

Branwyn: No sleep for you!

BOB brb as you organize

Branwyn: grins

BOB and LOL Lisa

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hello. Our names are Branwyn and Tiberius. You have our black chain. Prepare to die.

Craigh: Well, unless I'm mistaken, you're wearing a cloak of invisibility.

Craigh: and I could be mistaken.

Lisa (Branwyn): seriously though - if we lag long enough he will bring out the giants

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm just waiting for someone to follow

Lisa (Branwyn): hence the call out on the time every 15 minutes of game time

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I already told everyone we need to not stand around here

Raelynn: A Cloak of Elvenkind, and it's only *mostly* invisible, but in a brightly lit room not as much.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi has done everything she can!

BOB back

Lisa (Branwyn): my guys are behind a dozen people

Carissa (Raelynn): there was definite confusion and waiting for people to do things that dragged it out

User is back. (Spring)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The hallway must be big enough for two people to walk. I think you can go around them?

Lisa (Branwyn): Indigo is happ to keep moving and just opening doors

Craigh: Okay, 3 choices: spike the food, explore further, or leave. Thoughts?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): They're lined up except teh cat

BOB SO you have two hallways, the one to the kitchen that Indigo is guarding and the unknown one that N'laea is adventuring down

Spring (Lanek): explore further down that long hall

BOB Or the way out where Lanek is

Raelynn: Spiking the food means making them... angry and chaotic and they might turn on each other, but that's fun of chaos, right? You don't know.

Craigh: None of that sounds like a bad thing to me.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok but there's like 30 people in there?

Raelynn: The fun thing is you only need to spike *one* thing to spoil the whole feast! It infects all of it!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wait, can yogurt talk to these people? Do we think these servants might hate the giants too?

Craigh: So the question is, does she think she can manage it? If not, then we won't try.

Carissa (Raelynn): (O is for Orc, his blood is good enough for me)

Lisa (Branwyn): some of the servants are giants

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): aaaand we took too long

Raelynn: Me manage it? Oh no, I'm not sneaky.

Craigh: Well, since you're the only one who can cast it, that answers the question.

Bixi Fizzlebang: lets out a quiet yelp

Lisa (Branwyn): If you don't want to do it then it isn't an option

Lisa (Branwyn): next

Raelynn: If you have a piece of cheese, I can cast on that then we.... toss it in and hope they use it on pizza?

Bixi Fizzlebang: (quietly) something is coming

BOB So N'laea is moving down the hall

Carissa (Raelynn): (lol I do but I have to think of how)

TMO (Craigh): pausing for N'laea's event

Carissa (Raelynn): (I think her cloak only gives her 50% invisibility so not sure she could actually sneak in to do it)

BOB Bixi spots a very large creature advancing with a platter of food

Carissa (Raelynn): (oh well... that may work...)

BOB and N'laea sees an Ogre about to run into her

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wait! Maybe I can illusion someone into being this ogre and they can deliver the poisioned food!

Carissa (Raelynn): (does the ogre see her?)

BOB and that is where we are

BOB Yes N'laea sees the ogre and it sees her

Ogre

Lisa (Branwyn): pull an Indigo and wave and say hello

Lisa (Branwyn): :)

N'laea: Hello. I was invited here, but I believe I lost my way?

Carissa (N'laea): (makes sure her pointy ears are super visible and pretty looking)

Bixi Fizzlebang: internally facepalms

Carissa (N'laea): (eh, who knows, maybe elf is on the menu)

BOB Not sure why I cannot bring up the character sheet for it tryin

Bixi Fizzlebang: steps back a little to let those who can fight better get by if they want to

Spring (Lanek): completely not moving at all

Ogre : [Translation] What are you doing here

<font color="##000000">What are you doing here

[understood by: ]

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We need yogurt up here

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Looks like the hammer speaks ogre

N'laea: Sorry? I don't understand what you're saying?

N'laea: glancing behind her looking for Yogurt

Ogre: [INIT] [MOD:Fist] [d10+1 = 9]

Spring (Lanek): is Lanek close enough to the door to stick his head through and ask for Targim?

BOB I rolled Init

Craigh: takes a deep breath and walks around the corner toward N'laea.

BOB only N'laea gets to

TMO (Craigh): I don't think it told us that

TMO (Craigh): ignore Craigh's action then

Carissa (N'laea): LOL I like how it just says "Healthy" for him

N'laea: N'laea forced re-roll of initiative.

<font color="##1D97CC">Ogre: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(17)] [d20+1 = 1]

TMO (Craigh): CRITICAL MISS???? ;)

Ogre: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(17)] [1 = 1]

Lemon: Attack [1] ->[ATTACK (M)] [at N'laea] [Hit-AC: 16 vs. 5 ] [AC: 16 ] [MISS]

BOB What I tried to do was the Ogre rolled Init, got a 9, N'laea rolled a 4

BOB He tried to slam the tray onto her head

Carissa (N'laea): (we did not see you roll init)

BOB and apparently he missed

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I saw a shadow dice but it didn't show the results

N'laea: [INIT] [12 = 12]

BOB Yes I know you did not

Lisa: Attack [1] ->[ATTACK (M)] [at N'laea] [Hit-AC: 16 vs. 5 ] [AC: 16 ] [MISS]

Carissa (N'laea): (ok also ow, Lisa, lol)

BOB It is on the Combat Tracker, not sure if you see it there

Carissa (N'laea): (it is buried in my windows, on sec)

BOB and now N'laea gets to go

Lisa (Branwyn): sorry accidentally was on my clipboard or something

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is anyone else going up there? Because if not, poor little Bixi is going to try and rush in and save her lol

Carissa (N'laea): (show yes it does, but I never saw you initiate init; only knew because you said you did)

TMO (Craigh): we don't have actions yet

BOB excellent thank you Carissa for that, it helps to see it from that side

TMO (Craigh): Craigh was about to, but Init interfered

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I know, I'm just asking so I know what to do on my turn

BOB First N'laea has to do something

BOB then the rest of the group can react

Carissa (N'laea): (such as remember HOW to do something, one sec)

BOB we are all taking our time to be careful

Carissa (N'laea): (actions tab, sorry I never think about it)

BOB walk through step by step

Carissa (N'laea): (.... wait that did damage)

Carissa (N'laea): (so she made one hit flaming sword which was also a crit hit, both hit)

BOB so a total of 17 points of damage to the Ogre

BOB and none to Bixi

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): nice

Ogre's health adjusted by -27

Lisa (Indigo): maybe drag ogre into arms closet if it isn't locked now?

TMO (Craigh): my turn?

Lisa (Indigo): so he isn't blocking the hallway

N'laea: Someone want to help move this?

Spring (Lanek): good idea

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, and then I want to suggest illusioning someone into an ogre so they can deliver poision food!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): dangit

BOB What do you see for the Orgre icon?

Lanek: sure

Craigh: Perfect! Raelynn! Spike this food tray. Bixi, help me cantrip up the blood stains while they move the body

Carissa (N'laea): (an O)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): should have been ooc obvs

Lanek: free to move up to N'Laea?

Spring (Lanek): OOC

BOB Yes to Spring

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have no idea what cantrip does, if I'm being honest

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or orison

N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 4]

TMO (Craigh): minor effects

Lisa (Indigo): do you have it as a nwp?

N'laea checking for anything else on ogre

BOB I am not sure why it is not showing you that the Ogre is dead

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes?

N'laea (and or anyone alerted to the noise)

Lisa (Indigo): combattracker says dead

Carissa (N'laea): (it shows on the tracker at least)

Lisa (Indigo): icon is just an O

Carissa (N'laea): (he's uh, he's very dead)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes to cantrip being one of my proficiencies

Lanek: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 2]

Lisa (Indigo): yay Lanek

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Will they be able to drag the ogre past me or do I need to move?

Carissa (N'laea): (sorry for weird movement, thought she was about to run into a wall)

BOB Lanek can drag the Ogre back down the hall

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): run into a wall again?

Craigh: if I'd done Change Self as one I could've been an orc.

BOB Where are you trying to take him?

Spring (Lanek): into the arms room

Raelynn: Oh!

Craigh: is cantriping away the bloodstains

Raelynn: You should stick one of the weapons in him! Then it looks like a murder mystery!

Lanek: let's drop a shield over the body at least

Lanek: make it hard to see

Raelynn: Oh, or that....

Lisa (Indigo): LOL Carissa!!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): hahahaha, CLUE

Lanek: bu i like the idea

Raelynn walks over to help Craigh

Craigh: Spike the food please.

Lisa (Indigo): is this death poison?

Raelynn: So I think for this to work, you'll need to go back into the kitchen, and have the food item... added to some food? Or prepared?

The date is Mid____se, 25th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR

Young Moon's phase is New Moon

Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent

The time is 10:05 AM

Carissa (Raelynn): (Dissent's Feast, let me see if i can copy description)

Craigh: Drat, so not on finished food?

Licornah (W: AFK

Craigh: Damn, thought it was such a good idea.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can I illusion someone else into an ogre? I'm not even sure

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): My stupid spell categories didn't save and now I don't know anything

Raelynn: Um, well, if you toss this apple into the stew..., that would then count as preparing a piece of food for the stew.

Raelynn: Or... this piece of cheewe.

BOB So Carissa you can drag that icon in the upper left to the chat room and it should just past the spell into chat

Craigh: I think it'd have to be Raelynn. Can you make her look like an orc?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Are they making stew?

Detect Charm

Dissension's Feast

Carissa (Raelynn): (oh there we go)

Raelynn: Me???? Like an ogre???

Raelynn super insulted by the idea of being UGLY

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I never memorized that one

Craigh: Okay, if it's just putting food in the pot, I can do it if someone can make me look like an orc.

Carissa (Raelynn): (if anyone wants to read the description and thinks that would work?)

Lanek: hm for me it'd be a step up

Lanek: maybe

TMO (Craigh): I think it might work. Better than nothing

Licornah (W: back

Raelynn: I won't say I agree but....

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I don't think I can. My mage spells I memorized are change self, phantasmal force, spook, blindness, blur, deafness, invisitbility 10' radius, and wraithform

TMO (Craigh): invisibility on me?

Lisa (Indigo): says spell is cast on the food. I think it has to be Raelynn

TMO (Craigh): does it move? or stationary? or can you wraithform me?

Carissa (Raelynn): (thinking the loophole is the food on the floor the ogre dropped)

Spell: Invisibility 10' Radius

TMO: Spell: Invisibility 10' Radius

Carissa (Raelynn): (hmm that one isn't opening for me)

[ROUND 1]

User has gone AFK. (Spring)

TMO (Craigh): me either

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's going to turn anyone you get close to invisible as well

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh i lied

Indigo: you will be invisible and it will move with you but you will make sounds and smell, etc.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes, I think it might work

Raelynn: Um, well... I mean.... I suppose I can try to sneak in.... but... will someone watch my back? I'm not really a fighter. Or maybe make it darker inside? I don't know if this cloak will work? Was it brightly lit in the kitchen, Indigo?

TMO (Craigh): wraithform is on the caster

Bixi Fizzlebang: I can cast invisibilty? If it won't take too long, it should last long enough

Indigo: It was lit enough. Like a kitchen

BOB The invisibility is opening for me

Lisa (Indigo): we're going to fight 40 creatures soon so get ready

Carissa (Raelynn): (it separates it into: building and "brightly lit room" but I wouldn't tihnk torches are brightly lit necessarily?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But if I invisible you it won't matter?

TMO (Craigh): creatures moving into the area of effect after it's cast do not become invisible. So cast it on Raelynn, and she can go in and no one there will turn invisible

Carissa (Raelynn): I'd rather them fight each other, lol

Carissa (Raelynn): (Rae will take invisibility on top her normal cloaking if you want to use that spell)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah let them fight each other and we'll worry about the like, 2 that survive

Lisa (Indigo): it's a verbal spell so be very quiet when you cast

Carissa (Raelynn): (which actually might be a good idea if someone storms out of the room and sees us all)

TMO (Craigh): and if more than one of us are in the effect area, we can go with you, but I wouldn't take many

Lisa (Indigo): invisible doesn't make you sound proof

Craigh: just do NOT attack

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Absolutely I will use it, why not

TMO (Craigh): dangit 2

Raelynn: Okay, and noen of you eat any food!

Lisa (Indigo): once this food thing is done we should keep moving

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks around to see if Indigo heard that

Carissa (Raelynn): (yes, think we can reach the kitchens again going this way anyways)

Lisa (Indigo): he's not close to the food and we're NOT going into the great hall with 30 giants are we???

Carissa (Raelynn): (lol but it's also if he swipes an apple from the kitchen or something)

Lisa (Indigo): he's not going back in the kitchen with 40 creatures

Lisa (Indigo): unless that's what y'all wanna do

TMO (Craigh): as I understand the plan: Bixi Invisibles Raelynn and whoever she wants to go with her. InvisiSquad sneaks into the kitchens where Rae casts her spell. They sneak out again and we all hightail it

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): um, how do I cast?

Carissa (Raelynn): (lol)

User is back. (Spring)

Carissa (Raelynn): (yes: who's on InvisiSquad?)

Raelynn: Okay. Who's coming with me?

Craigh: I can go if you want me.

Lisa (Indigo): I'm not going in with the spell. the more people the louder it will be

Craigh: To. Want me to.

Bixi Fizzlebang: No thank you

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol craigh

Lanek: i can go

Youtargim: Well we know she wants me

Raelynn: You're sneaky. You can help me sneak out if I need.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): gross

Raelynn: Do I?

Youtargim: Who else here can tell you what they are saying?

Spring (Lanek): who was hte sneaky comment for?

Craigh: Invisisquad up with Raelynn.

Carissa (Raelynn): (Craigh and Lanek, originally Craigh but you also replied in time, lol)

Smiles at Rae

Craigh: C'mon Lanek.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I definitely feel like the less people the better, right? More means they're more likely to bump into someone or something

Indigo: You can't talk in there Youtargim or they will know you are there!

Lanek: yup

Raelynn: Hmm, I suppose.... but only if you're also sneaky!

Indigo: rolls eyes

Raelynn: We don't want too many or someone might bump into us.

Raelynn: I'm ready when you are, Bixi.

Craigh: I have a spell to distract one of them away if needed

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm in favor of the poisioning thing though, because we can at least get a glimpse at the kitchen and see if there's anything worthwhile in there

N'laea: I will keep an eye and sword out nearby.

Craigh: but it won't make them forget about us, just leave for a bit

Spell: Invisibility 10' Radius

Carissa (N'laea): (actually wait sorry, this way or back the Indigo way to kitchen?)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi Fizzlebang cast a spell NOT memorized.

Lanek: [SKILL] Move Silently [PERCENT:Move Silently] (vs. Target 85) [SUCCESS by 39] [d100 = 46]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Invisibility 10' Radius

Carissa (N'laea): (don't approve that movement yet, lol)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): what am i dooooing

Bixi Fizzlebang: How do I target someone?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): dangit

Craigh: stands there waiting to become vanishy

Carissa (N'laea): (it's an area spell, but you can drag to a person from combat tracker)

Lanek: i think you stick your die right on them

Craigh: keeps looking at his hand to see if he can see through hiimself yet

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ohhhh, ok

BOB pause for a moment

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, let me know when we're ready

BOB Branwyn and Licornah are going back into the guest room?

Lisa: I wanted my guys as far away from the 40 creature battle as possible

Lisa: run away

Lorie (Licornah (W): (I have to be honest, I was trying to stay with the group, but not following the map or adventure well at all)

Carissa (N'laea): (okay to that point, we should go to the kitchens throuhg the door Indigo opened)

TMO (Craigh): they'd probably see the door open.

TMO (Craigh): maybe?

Lisa: yes they will

TMO (Craigh): perhaps not

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh that's a good point.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): let's just keep moving then?

BOB Right where Licornah, Branwyn Indigo is the intersection of the hallway

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I wonder if we're overthinking this lol

TMO (Craigh): it's just like Oceans 11

Carissa (N'laea): just trying to have a bit of fun

Lisa: they don't want any part of this kitchen deal

BOB to the left of them is the hall back to the hall north where Indigo opened the door

Carissa (N'laea): but flaws need to be pointed out

BOB North along this hallway that N'laea Craigh etc are in is where the Ogre came down with a platter of food

TMO (Craigh): you can always stop us Bran. She has the authority if she thinks it's a bad idea

BOB back around the corner where Bran is is the way you all came in

BOB now does everyone understand where you are?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I kind of want to keep checking out what's at the end of this hallway, because I feel like stairs to the basement will be in the back

Spring (Lanek): i do

Lisa: I think it is a horrible idea for 3-4 people to try to be invisible in a kitchen with 40 creatures in it

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): or possibly in a different building

BOB I understand that thinking Lemon, BUT do you understand where you are right now?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yes

BOB Ok

Lisa: If 1 person wants to try to invisible in and look for the cooking pot, cast quietly and get the hell out, the odds are much better for success - IMO

TMO (Craigh): Then tell us that Bran

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That is a good point about the door opening though. That seems like if there's 30 ogres in there, one of them is bound to notice

BOB Lacking anyone saying they do not understand where they are I am going with the idea you all understand and know where you are in relation to which hallways go where, etc.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, yes we need our fearless leader to pull our heads out of the clouds

Spring (Lanek): so we are in the wrong hallway if we want to go to the kitchen, right?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I know we're right next to the great hall, is that the point you are trying to make? I was thinking we could maybe sneak quickly past so we won't be in the way when they start stumbling to bed

TMO (Craigh): do we know who has the better Move Silent between craigh & lanek?

Spring (Lanek): but the ogre came from this way so another way to the kitchen must be this way

Lisa (Branwyn): no they both go together - the ogre came out this hall

TMO (Craigh): I think it's Lanek

BOB For Spring the hallway you are in you do not know where it leads, only that an Ogre came down it with a tray of food

Carissa (N'laea): (what percent?)

Branwyn: I don't think this will do anything other than cause a battle in the kitchen

Spring (Lanek): 85

TMO (Craigh): 50 here. But Craigh also has the distraction spell

Carissa (N'laea): (distraction spell?)

TMO (Craigh): Engagement - causes one creature to remember an urgent appointment *somewhere else*

Raelynn: Oh, um, maybe, but won't we maybe have to fight them later, anyways?

Branwyn: You know Bixi and Raelynn that invisibility does not cover sounds or smells? That your spell most likely has a verbal component and the more people go the louder you will be?

N'laea: We smell...chunky, wasn't it?

Spring (Lanek): are we all three going into the kitchen or could Craigh and Lanek bodyguard from just outside the door? be close at hand?

BOB Invisiblity 10 foot radius

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh I am absolutely NOT going in with them

BOB so no more than ten feet away

Branwyn: Indigo said there were 40 in the kitchen and N'laea said about 30 in the hall just across the way. If the kitchen battle is loud then we will fight 70 creatures?

N'laea: More chance of being discovered now.

Branwyn: Is this a risk you all want to take and the best course of action here?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I think if nothing else, we should at least move ahead or give up for now and go back... if they start wanting to have a nap soon, we will be right in the way

Branwyn: I agree

Craigh: I think it's a good opportunity, but we don't have to take it.

Lanek: that is a compellin argument

Raelynn: Um, okay. I'm not a fighter so I probably can't say anything that might induce fighting....

Branwyn: If Raelynn goes by herself I think she has a much better chance of success

Bixi Fizzlebang: is visibly relieved that Branwyn approves

Lanek: but if you are not willin to go by yerself, i understand that. we should call it off

Craigh: Entirely possible. But it's up to her.

Youtargim: Perhaps I can go to protect? and listen to what they are saying?

Raelynn: I, um, I'm not comfortable with that right now. I can think about it.

Lanek: nods

Branwyn: So we either try the other outside door or move ahead and see if we can pass the kitchen and go to the other areas

Raelynn: Maybe if we decide later we can do it?

Bixi Fizzlebang: rolls eyes in response to Yogurt

Craigh: Honest answer, if you cast it on some of this food and one of us invisibly puts it in the pot, will your spell still work?

Raelynn: I would think so.

Lanek: oh well then

Lanek: let the master have at it

Lanek: holds out his hand for the food

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is... splitting up right now a good idea?

Lanek: we're not splitting up. just one of me, there and back, no problem

Carissa (Raelynn): (how long is a round?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi is getting anxious now

BOB 1 minute equals 1 round 10 rounds equals 1 turn

Branwyn: Then go ahead and do it. We've been out here an hour now

Raelynn: It takes about five minutes before it'll affect them.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Let's see if we can find somewhere safer to be while we decide what to do next?

Lanek: okay somebody gonna invisible me?

Raelynn: I can cast it now, and you can hold onto the food until you think you can safely deposit it?

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks at Branwyn for approval before casting

Lanek: let's do it. my nerves is itchin

Branwyn: It's dangerous. But if you want to ...

Lanek: my move silently is over by now isn't it?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I guess Raelynn would need to cast on the food before I invisible everything?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Will the food be invisible?

Lisa (Branwyn): If lanek is holding it when you cast on him

N'laea: Perhaps we should wait? If they are loud, arguing, and fighting, it may spill over into our wandering.

BOB If Lanek is holding it when you cast yes it is invisible

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): At this point, my vote is to move forward and see if one of the room up ahead is safe, and if not, to skedaddle out of the fortress and regroup

Carissa (N'laea): (yeah doubt has been sowed in me, I'd rather just keep moving forward)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol at least one of us is being reasonable. I needed that hahaha. So desperate for a heist

TMO (Craigh): Craigh is still for the plan, but can be overruled, especially since he isn't either of the active participants.

Spring (Lanek): i just kind of want to have an adventure and do some things. it's gonna be a month before i can play again. but i get it

Branwyn: It was 5 giants I'd be all in. All it takes is one slip and then one runs to the hall and we have us against 70 - so I am not thrilled with those odds

Carissa (N'laea): (when Lisa does math, then it's serious)

Lisa (Branwyn): lol

Spring (Lanek): heheheh

BOB LOL

BOB So options are move forward or go back out and around to the side door

BOB Forward? or Side?

Spring (Lanek): yeah i didn't want Lanek to lead them back out into the hall. just fight and if necessary die, if detected

Carissa (N'laea): (the spells does break alliances so there is a chance they'd ignore us to fight each other, but that's a chance as well)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well let's go then! The longer we stay here, the more likely we are to be discovered

N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger: Move Silently [PERCENT:Ranger: Move Silently] (vs. Target 67) [SUCCESS by 22] [d100 = 45]

BOB N'laea elects to move forward

N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger: Hide in Shadows [PERCENT:Ranger: Hide in Shadows] (vs. Target 59) [SUCCESS by 53] [d100 = 6]

BOB quietly slipping along the hallway

N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 18]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 10]

Lanek: [SKILL] Move Silently [PERCENT:Move Silently] (vs. Target 85) [SUCCESS by 38] [d100 = 47]

Carissa (N'laea): (won't notice another ogre trying to smack her in the face, though)

Carissa (N'laea): (so closed door on right and open door to left?)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe she's too busy inspecting some... art on the walls?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): dangit!

Bixi Fizzlebang: ooc!

BOB Yes to Carissa and you hear sounds from the left of a kitchen

TMO (Craigh): So, the whole group is heading into the kitchens instead of just 1 invisible person? *confused*

Carissa (N'laea): (well she can at least probably sneak up past it with those rolls but the others...)

TMO (Craigh): I missed something

Carissa (N'laea): (no skipping kitchen plan for now and going north)

Lisa (Branwyn): we didn't know if the doors were open or not

TMO (Craigh): ok

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can she just peek around the corner and see if anyone is looking this way?

Lisa (Branwyn): open doors means no pass - to me anyway

BOB There are no doors, just an open archway

TMO (Craigh): and I apologize if I'm being short or snarky at all. I'm trying not to, and I *think* I'm succeeding, mostly, but I'm still feeling the aftereffects of keeping calm at work this afternoon. ;)

BOB You are good TMO

Lisa (Branwyn): sounds like Lanek wants to be sneaky so if he wants to do the plan he should but yes all of us going by the open doors would probably not be good

Carissa (N'laea): (ugh so we either risk that or go back down and around.... was there another way to right and up from the start?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You're fine tmo

Lisa (Branwyn): yes you are fine!

Carissa (N'laea): (you're fine TMO)

BOB I think everyone is a bit confused and I am trying to keep everyone moving but slowly enough that people understand what is happening

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): There was another door in that first room

Lisa (Branwyn): I feel like I am being a wet blanket

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You are being the voice of reason

TMO (Craigh): it's fine

BOB no one is causing problems, everyone is trying to express their thoughts and navigate the map and learn the interface, etc.

Carissa (N'laea): (lol it's fine, just let me call dibs on ruining a feast when it's only five giants ;) )

Lisa (Branwyn): you got it!

Carissa (N'laea): is there a torch or something lighting this hallway?

TMO (Craigh): and Craigh is very much a 'seize the opportunity' kind of guy. It's what he was trained for.

BOB Lorie said it earlier about being confused about both the map and the overall direction of the adventure

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, if everyone is at a feast, the outside is unlikely to be funn of too many giants? Should we go back out and try the side door?

BOB so right now you have options

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): funn = full

BOB 1 there are double doors on your right, sounds of the party in there

Carissa (N'laea): (haha no)

BOB 2 there is the open arch way into the kitchen, you could try to sneak past that

TMO (Craigh): anybody thirsty?

BOB 3 you can enter the kitchen and see what happens

BOB 4 you can go back and look for another door

BOB 5 you can go all the way outside and go to the side entrance

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm going to channel Michael and say let's run in and see what happens

Lorie (Licornah (W): (I think it's just me... I feel like I'm just watching things for the moment - no useful skills to contribute)

Spring (Lanek): i guess 4 or 5

Carissa (N'laea): (where does the side entrance lead relative to this map? was it on the north south east...?)

BOB to the far East of this map

Spring (Lanek): there's no way this crowd can sneak past an arch oorway

TMO (Craigh): Scooby Doo tiptoe sneak?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): but my real vote is 5.

Carissa (N'laea): (can you cantrip some... smoke or haze to sneak past it?)

BOB refilling water as you decide

TMO (Craigh): not effectively enough to conceal us. Concealment would be at least 1st level.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I really think there will be less grouped together literally anywhere else, so we can probably handle fighting a few out and around the grounds or whatever?

TMO (Craigh): if not higher. Cantrip only does minor, ineffective things

Carissa (N'laea): (I'm stuck on time; it's more time to go back and a different route if we can find a way to sneak past that archway)

BOB back

Carissa (N'laea): (but I don't know if there is a way to do that)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, to Carissa, I'm pretty sure the side entrace was at the north east corner of this building, but behind it, not part of the building

BOB also remember you are 6 foot tall max in a 20 foot tall hallway

BOB the map is deceiving with the scale

Carissa (N'laea): (very)

TMO (Craigh): I will let wiser heads determine what to do, because Craigh still wants to raid the kitchen. ;)

Spring (Lanek): so if we all stoop low they won't notice us?

Carissa (N'laea): (Northeast may get us closer to where we were going depending what greets us there)

Spring (Lanek): snerk

Carissa (N'laea): (so we could probably sneak.... all except Bixi, Bran, Tib, and Lic across)

Carissa (N'laea): (OR we use the time and hightail it back probably to the side entrance? or there was some other door we didn't open?)

Spring (Lanek): oh, i had a terrible idea

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): There's gotta be another way in, so if we try the side door, we might find another secreter entrance, or possibly another building worth checking out? Maybe some animals in some stables?

Carissa (N'laea): (terrible idea: go)

Spring (Lanek): one of us streaks through the kitchen, creating a horrible distraction, and then the rest go past the archway

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol!

Spring (Lanek): in fact, this could be combined with the previous idea

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I nominate Lanek

Carissa (N'laea): (what kind of distraction?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ....

Lanek: cast on the food, then cast invisible on Lanek, then Lanek carries the food in

TMO (Craigh): and toss Raelynn's spiked food into the pot as they dog? *hopeful grin*

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The streaking IS the distraction

Carissa (N'laea): (without giving us away? that was part of the problem with the feast was giving us away)

Spring (Lanek): the others see levitating foold and follow it

Branwyn: we could try to cause a major silent distraction - like cast continual light on a cauldron over the fire - see how many of the staff go to stare at what just happened while we walk by - would need line of sight on the object but that's all

Spring (Lanek): Lanek dumps the food in and skedaddles

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You're talking full nude streaking, no?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Not sneaking?

N'laea: Or make them think food is on fire to put out?

Spring (Lanek): for a second i did think nude streaking, but then i thought how is he getting out again

BOB You are in a hallway discussing this where an Ogre was delivering food ten minutes ago

Spring (Lanek): needs to be invisible to leave by the far door

BOB hint hint

Bixi Fizzlebang: No, we are OOC now!

Carissa (N'laea): (we need to move and soon?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): dangit

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You can not hold this discussion time against us!

BOB I am not holding OOC time against you

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): My vote is still skedaddle out and try the side door

Spring (Lanek): i accidentally didn't hold Alt a moment ago

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But I will do whatever majority votes, of course

TMO (Craigh): Craigh is holding his Engagement spell ready, just in case someone comes around a corner suddenly

Carissa (N'laea): (Lisa, Lemon, and Lorie are the ones with non-sneaking characters so if you all rather not risk that, we'll go other route)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): There's just a LOT of EVERYTHING on either side of where we're standing now, and we can't all go forward

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] I could visit the kitchens looking for a handout

<font color="##000000">I could visit the kitchens looking for a handout

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

Spring (Lanek): okay, lets go back

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can we convince the cat to scout for us?

N'laea: Nightshade has offered to be a distraction.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh

Carissa (N'laea): (Lisa? Lorie?)

Spring (Lanek): that is now three methods of distraction offered

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, my brain is struggling. I'm going to get some ice cream. I'm on board with whatever is decided

Spring (Lanek): the argument is that there are too many opponents, so let's just turn around now

TMO (Craigh): all y'all take 5 seconds to try and imagine what Ilero would have done in this situation... 'cuz I'm getting a huge chuckle out of thinking of it.

Lorie (Licornah (W): (I'm not sure what you want me to say... I'm fine with whatever at this point)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We were so close to a decision and then BOB throws in a curveball. I'm guessing that means either we are headed in the right direction, or he really really really wants us to do more combat tonight

Lisa (Branwyn): lol TMO

BOB Grins at TMO and Lemon

Lisa (Branwyn): so let's distract and move up

Carissa (N'laea): (I want to push forward, but that puts your three characters at risk)

TMO (Craigh): and a question to ask: can we get back out again?

BOB Shrugs

Carissa (N'laea): (so perhaps between cantip and cat we can successfully sneak by)

Lorie (Licornah (W): (:: shrug :: ) I just feel like this is the longest hallway I've ever walked

BOB LOL

Carissa (N'laea): (just imagine how much worse it'd be if it were to scale!)

Lisa (Branwyn): lol

TMO (Craigh): should we vote? I think we've discussed all the angles.

Lanek: i miscounted. four methods, counting Craigh's spell

Spring (Lanek): dammit

TMO (Craigh): Craigh's spell only works on *one* target.

TMO (Craigh): it will not distract a whole room

Lorie (Licornah (W): (I feel like I'm an NPC watching things unfurl ... I'd offer suggestions, but BOB wants us to go to either the great room or Kitchen...)

Spring: okay so three poiint zero one seven methods

BOB Just as a reminder, I will do the Auto correct tonight and post, ANYONE can go edit that to make it look better

Carissa (N'laea): (no thanks)

BOB Lisa has taken on the Story format version

BOB but anyone can do the cleaned up version and clean it more

Lisa (Branwyn): are we doing this?

BOB I am not trying to push in any direction, it seemed to me that the group was either go forward past the kitchen or go out and around to the side door outside of the steading

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm willing to put myself in danger. If BOB is offering to create a distraction, I feel like forward is the way we're supposed to be going, whether it means sucess or combat

N'laea : [Translation] Go, distract them. We only need a minute. Be careful.

<font color="##000000">Go, distract them. We only need a minute. Be careful.

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I am fine with either plan; distraction OR exit

Lisa (Branwyn): bob will create the distraction?

Carissa (N'laea): (the cat will; feel free to add an extra with cantrip_

Lisa (Branwyn): thought you said catnip

TMO (Craigh): This was not a module with a single path of success in it, btw. It was great for the time, it was pretty open pathed.

Carissa (N'laea): (both)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] Did you say catnip?

<font color="##000000">Did you say catnip?

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

N'laea: Branwyn, the cat has offered to be a distraction. Could you add a second with magic?

Branwyn: peeks in the kitchen if she can

Branwyn: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 11]

N'laea : [Translation] Er, no. Cantrip, but we will search for some catnip after this.

<font color="##000000">Er, no. Cantrip, but we will search for some catnip after this.

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

This is a typical giant kitchen with counters along the walls, several tables, benches, a stool or two, and various items for cooking and baking (pots, kettles, bowls, knives, forks, spoons, ladles, spits, and so forth). There are 29 orc about the place. There are 5 giantess serving maids and 11 young ogre servants.

BOB For Branwyn she can see that it lookslike there is an opening to the right of the fireplace

BOB that leads to another part of the kitchen

TMO (Craigh): fireball?

BOB and that everyone is crowded and busy in this space

Branwyn: whispers

Carissa (N'laea): (so maybe not even looking our way...?)

Branwyn: They look so busy

N'laea: Then let us go.

Carissa (N'laea): (man if Nlaea made her obs, we could have saved ourselves 20 minutes, lmao)

Branwyn: runs by the door

Nightshade, Cat, Elven : [Translation] MEOWS

<font color="##000000">MEOWS

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

Carissa (N'laea): (that is what meowing sounds like in Elvish)

Tries to steal a piece off of a skewer by the fire

Spring (Springity Thingity): i assume that's the very loud Feed Me song

TMO (Craigh): following as soon as he can

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oooh, double wide hallway

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sticking with yogurt for now

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The cat is coming back out this way? Someone will surely chase it?

Branwyn: nods for N'laea o keep moving

BOB N'laea has a door just behind her on the right

BOB Craigh has a door to his left

TMO (Craigh): ah, hidden by shadow

BOB and there is a hallway going straight to another door

N'laea: Check yours first?

N'laea: to Craigh

Craigh: nods

Bixi Fizzlebang: (whispering) does anyone hear anything behind these doors?

N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 1]

Branwyn: whispers

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

Carissa (N'laea): (listening behind hers)

Lanek: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 55) [SUCCESS by 47] [d100 = 8]

Branwyn: there was a room off the kitchen

Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 13]

TMO (Craigh): I don't seem to be able to open that door

BOB N'laea can here sounds like dice rattlling

N'laea: Some kitchens have cellars.

BOB Yes to TMO not sure what happened there

N'laea: But I think some are gambling behind this door.

TMO (Craigh): go ahead and cancel the move

Carissa (N'laea): nods to the one by her

N'laea: nods to the one by her

BOB Craigh and Lanek do not hear anything behind that door

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, no thank you to the gambling one

TMO (Craigh): I was just seeing if proximity was the problem

Craigh: tries the door

Craigh: quietly

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes, cellars, and also they use a lot of water. Could be how the blight is getting out? (still whispering)

Tiberius: We should be moving

N'laea: You hear something?

Indigo: gives the cat a pat

Indigo: Good kitty!

BOB Door opens for Craigh

Craigh: peeks in

TMO (Craigh): LOL

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): whoa

TMO (Craigh): going the LONG way

There are 3 tables, a long counter, stools, benches, and kitchen gear about. There are numerous sacks, boxes, and barrels. Various cheeses, smoked meats, and sausages hang from the rafters. There are several casks and tuns. Loaves of bread are stacked on one table.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): very impressive Craigh

TMO (Craigh): yes, I am, aren't I?

BOB and Craigh spots a door to his left as well

Craigh: whispers back out the door, "Food storage, no people."

Craigh: checks the next door quietly too

There are numerous sacks, boxes, and barrels. Various cheeses, smoked meats, and sausages hang from the rafters. There are several casks and tuns. Loaves of bread are stacked on one table. In this room is a set of stairs going down.

TMO (Craigh): I wonder how I'm going to get through that door?

Craigh: Stairs, going down, probably to a cellar.

Carissa (N'laea): (food to cast on AND stairs to go down! woo!)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): we did it!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No matter whether or not we all die after this, I consider it a success.

Craigh: Think we should all come in here and check it out?

N'laea: (food to cast on AND stairs to go down! woo!)

Carissa (N'laea): .....ugh I hate doing that

N'laea: Yes.

TMO (Craigh): gasp! the door opened?

N'laea: It is either down, the dice players, or that end door.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): it's a christmas miracle!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We do know that we need to find a downstairs. Whether or not there are more than one downstairs.... /shrug

Spring (Lanek): i suggest end door

TMO (Craigh): I'm regretting my life of greed and sin!

Spring (Lanek): oh i didn't realize we needed downstairs, then i suggest downstairs

Craigh: leads the way if others want to follow

N'laea: following

Lanek: following

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can't remember the specifics, but we're looking for the source of the water pollution, and someone rolled something that made BOB strongly hint that we needed to be downstairs to find that water that was leaking into the river water? yes?

Carissa (N'laea): (yes)

TMO (Craigh): Scooby, Shaggy, you go check upstairs. N'laea and I will go check the cellar

TMO (Craigh): movement is hard when there are actual walls, isn't it?

Carissa (N'laea): (so much more time consuming, lol)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Did I get stopped by the wall again?

BOB Yes I keep trying to move people

Spring (Lanek): there's something funky about that door

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I need to watch where I'm going. I tell the preschoolers this all the time lol, need to take my own advice

Spring (Lanek): i think it doesn;t quite line up

TMO (Craigh): just teleport the whole group in?

BOB Ok so the group has snuck past the kitchens, down the hall, into a storage room and is at the top of the stairs leading down to the lower leves

TMO (Craigh): Lanek lead the way down?

The date is Mid____se, 25th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR

Young Moon's phase is New Moon

Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent

The time is 10:15 AM

Spring (Lanek): yes

Spring (Lanek): happy to lead. not checking for traps, though, it takes too long

TMO (Craigh): doubt there are traps on the food cellar

Lisa (Indigo): good

Spring (Lanek): not likely traps this deep in anyway

Lisa (Indigo): they think they are safe. no guards or anything so likely no traps

Spring (Lanek): well they could have a snack theif

Lisa (Indigo): we will follow you

Lanek: moving on down

TMO (Craigh): Honey, why is there a bear trap on the floor of the pantry?

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Indigo: follows Lanek

TMO (Craigh): all together now!

Lorie (Licornah (W): (If it's mostly Ogres and Giants, wouldn't the traps be.... larger? Their fingers would be clumsy otherwise, right?)

TMO (Craigh): Honey, why is there a boulder trap in the pantry?

Spring (Lanek): okay how do i see the new map?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): was just about to ask that

Carissa (N'laea): with the power of imaginationnnn

TMO (Craigh): oooo.... cinnamon rolls!

There are a few smokey torches burning along the walls. The benches and tables are pushed out of the way against the walls, revealing a floor of blackish stone, much worn by the tread of countless feet.

TMO (Craigh): 45 giants sit there looking back at you

BOB and this is where we pause for a moment

BOB and we look at light sources on each token

BOB as you are now underground

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Pause for a moment to allow BOB to import 45 giant icons

BOB upper level I had it all pegged to Indigo

Carissa (N'laea): well we see nothing as there is no map so... we're all blinddd!!!

BOB and bright light from him

Spring (Lanek): some was on lanek

BOB now we will do the continual light etc

Spring (Lanek): oh nevermind, that was just my field of view

BOB does anyone see anything right now?

Spring (Lanek): nope

TMO (Craigh): no map to look at

BOB Indigo?

Lorie (Licornah (W): The prior map with Talwin?

Carissa (N'laea): none

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I still see the map we just left

Spring (Lanek): looking at upper level map still

Lisa (Indigo): I don't know where I am

TMO (Craigh): streaming my view

Carissa (N'laea): k

Carissa (N'laea): you're view has more view in it

N'laea: ...*yore

Spring (Lanek): so if all the tables are pushed to the walls, are they dancing?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): maybe they're just for storage?

BOB no sign of any creatures in this room

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): she asked hopefully?

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

TMO (Craigh): hopefully that helped Bob

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 16]

TMO (Craigh): other than listening to my dog eat in the background

BOB Thank you TMO it did confirm that I am doing what I thought I was

BOB and no sound here but still Laughs

Indigo: It's quiet down here. Let's go Lanek!

TMO (Craigh): I can tell you what it sounds like: *crunch* *crunch* *bits dropping on the floor* *crucnh*

Lanek: okay

Craigh: stays near the walls

TMO (Craigh): whoops, color went out of my view

BOB Yes to TMO

TMO (Craigh): why? what did I do?

BOB you moved away from the people with infravision

Craigh: I did not know the brown was infravision. You said Continual Light earlier

BOB and Craigh does not have a torch lit, continual rock, etc.

TMO (Craigh): dangit 3

Spring (Lanek): well that's interesting

Lisa (Indigo): but it says there ar torches on the walls and we all have continual light objects if we need them

BOB I am trying to get to those yes Lisa

Carissa (N'laea): wow that just got bigger

TMO (Craigh): no worries, just confused and making assumptions

TMO (Craigh): go ahead an put Craigh back in line

BOB So what I need is for Carissa to roll a d12 twice

N'laea: [d12 = 7]

N'laea: [d12 = 4]

BOB and we pause here for the night

BOB apparently this map needs work

BOB BUT

BOB you are in the large room

BOB there are three doors leading out of it

Carissa (N'laea): and those rolls??

BOB one single wide cooridoor leading north

TMO (Craigh): CLIFFHANGER!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

BOB one double wide coridoor leading south

Carissa (N'laea): normal cliffhangers are bad enough, but dice roll cliffhangers??

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We don't need a cliffhanger, we're already committed

TMO (Craigh): ceiling still 20' tall?

BOB AND where N'laea is a secret door that leads to ??????

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh

TMO (Craigh): I've always wanted to go to ??????

Carissa (N'laea): oh hey she can do her conceealed door checks too although apparently she found a secret door already so....

Carissa (N'laea): Okay I'll accept that wording of a cliffhanger

BOB So when we pick up next week you will have appropriate lighting in this room with torches, Indigo etc will have their lights and the walls will be fixed

Carissa: Walls are our enemies. Do we want them fixed??

Carissa: They just get in the way.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I don't really need anymore walls in my face

TMO: ever need to get in the mood for D&D - this is the song for it: (LINK)

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

BOB But you did manage to sneak past 70+ giants to get downstairs

TMO: and we'll have to do it again to get out. :)

Carissa: And killed an ogre! Progress!

Carissa: They'll get to have a murder mystery party, too. Fun for them.

Spring: maybe. there might be another way out

Lemon (Lemon): And we found another talking weapon

Carissa: The chain should command them so that may not be a problem anymore...maybe.
