BOB HUGS
BOB Glad you are here
Carissa: Logged in and walked away. Hi all!
Lorie (Licornah): Hope everyone had a good week
BOB It was good
BOB feeling calm and relaxed
BOB and that is not the fact that I am already mostly done with a bottle of wine
Lorie (Licornah): that actually doesn't sound awful :)
Licornah: I thought the game was cancelled tonight
'Shislif' connected
BOB Nope that was last week's non-cancellation
BOB and Hello Sharif
'Spring' connected
BOB Hello Spring
Lorie (Licornah): Evening Sharif and Spring :)
Shislif: Howdy!

Zayden: Hey Spring
Carissa: Hi Spring!
BOB Sharif, that was In Character
Zayden: Oh the workshop finished early lol
BOB nice
Shislif (Zayden): Oh sorry mb forgot lol
Carissa: You can either hold ctrl to do OOC or release your character and chat without
BOB Zero worries, just reminding everyone
Shislif (Zayden): Have we started?
Carissa: It just helps with the formatting :)
BOB we are all batting around ideas now
BOB and catching people up
Shislif (Zayden): So how do I access the different books again?
BOB so DUM DUM DUM Sharif is the new person so he has to give Spring the update on what she missed
Shislif (Zayden): Last Week on Fantasy Grounds...
BOB Yes
Spring: hi hi
BOB if you look at Message of the Day,.... When last we left our intrepid band of adventurers
Shislif (Zayden): I was discovered in a cell, chained up and held prisoner by a giant, but kept alive because I'm pretty and sing/play music
Spring: okie ...
Shislif (Zayden): The rest of the gang was nice enough to release me, hoping I would have helpful info on giants (I did not )
Shislif (Zayden): And or the location of some magic chain
Shislif (Zayden): which I didn't know either
Shislif (Zayden): I knew a little bit about the relationship between the giant and the magic sword that talks
Spring: orly?! that's cool
Shislif (Zayden): Anyway they released me, we searched around for a bit, ran into two like fire giants
Shislif (Zayden): Took one out, someobody I forget who did an amazing double shot to the eyes of one of the giants
Shislif (Zayden): Also I climbed up the back of a giant, but missed stabbing him the in the ear I think
Spring: oooooo
Spring: aw
Shislif (Zayden): After the first giant went down, the other surrendered
Shislif (Zayden): So we have that giant, and 7 dwarves that were being held captive
Spring: oh that's cool. that's unusual
Shislif (Zayden): We can't communicate with the dwarves
Spring: well heck
Shislif (Zayden): And we were discussing what to do next, I think is where we left off
Spring: awright!
BOB Spring put Lanek on the map for you
Spring: i have not been in the game for several fridays. i think maybe 6?
Spring: thanks!
Shislif (Zayden): No worries!
Zayden bows
Spring: my schedule changed and i usually work on Fridays, but about once a month i get a friday off
Lorie (Licornah): I think we're more or less in the same place you left us... just a few more rooms over LOL
Spring: last month i had something in conjunction with selling my house that i had to do that friday, dont remember what
Spring: hi Lorie!
Lorie (Licornah): You've been busy for sure Spring -- hoping you're on the other side of it
Carissa: And a bit madder at a certain NPC, but otherwise, not as much progress
Spring (Lanek): omg
Spring (Lanek): if all goes according to plan, the house can list for sale on Thursday
BOB nice
Lorie (Licornah): :: crosses fingers and toes ::
Spring (Lanek): but i'm weary on all levels
BOB HUGS
Lorie (Licornah): I totally get that... I do :: virtual hug ::
Lanek hug hugs
Shislif (Zayden): Oh I forgot to mention I was also misshelved for some reason
BOB I am not dragging the dwarf icons with you unless you want to know exactly where they are
BOB they are currently trailing behind you
'Spring' disconnected
Shislif (Zayden): behind who?
BOB the group
'Spring' connected
Shislif (Zayden): Ah ok
Carissa (N'laea): As long as they're with us, that's fine. It's if they run off we'd need to know.
BOB yes
Shislif (Zayden): Aren't they chained together still?
Shislif (Zayden): Like chain gang style?
BOB No not chained together still
BOB you are back Spring
Spring: (LINK)

Carissa (N'laea): Hi Lisa!
'TMO' connected
BOB Hello TMO
Lorie (Licornah): Evening Lisa and TMO
Carissa (N'laea): Hi TMO!
BOB and TMO or Carissa might be able to help Spring with deleting events
Lisa: Hello! :)
BOB Ah looks like she got it
Carissa (N'laea): I never know how long to wait to greet people as they might not see it...
Shislif (Zayden): Hi!
TMO: I am here!
BOB It is a good thing
Spring: whew. hi y'all!
Spring: i been in a fight with FG
Lisa: Did you win?
Craigh: tell me about it
Spring: no but i got some relief
Lisa: Good
BOB warm smile
TMO: I've been trying to enter info from books
Spring: for the first time since we came to this platform i was able to move the chat box out of the way
BOB so everyone but Lemon is here
BOB you are at the intersection
Zayden: sorry have to do a quick zoom, so I'll be back n forth for a few
BOB and can make some choices on where to go
Spring: whoever invented "lock in place" is a lich and should be destroyed
BOB LOL
TMO: I've been trying to enter info from books
TMO: why did that get posted twice?
BOB not sure? did you drag?
TMO: i was afk
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Lorie (Licornah): Umm... new question, what is player safety icons?
BOB Those are for the idea that if things are going awry you can stop
Lorie (Licornah): ahhhh interesting
BOB or put up a caution
BOB I am the only one who sees it
BOB so I can stop
BOB and then bring everyone back together
BOB it is designed for people who get into uncomfortable roleplaying situations but can be used for being confused, not ready, etc.
Lisa: so only things we haven't done in this area is open 2 of the 3 closed doors but they are probably just full of slaves
'Lemon' connected
Carissa (N'laea): We haven't gone to look into the forge (blue light) or to that door? hallway? straight south.
Carissa (N'laea): Oh wait. I see three doors?
Lisa: that was the torture room where Talwin got the necklace
Carissa (N'laea): oh right, I remember a torture room. which one was that?
Lisa: Michael went into the blue light room first
Lemon: Loading takes 300 years now
Lisa: then the hallway up and then south to fire giant hell
Lisa: Hi Lemon! :)
Carissa (N'laea): It really does. Hi Lemon!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hi everyone!
Lorie (Licornah): (Evening Lemon!)
Carissa (N'laea): Okay, I didn't remember that. I thought he went into one of these two or three rooms to the south.
Lisa: Branwyn opened the middle of the 3 doors and got a bunch of orc slaves
Lisa: so there is the door on each side of the middle one that has not been opened
BOB The slow loading shoudl only be this time
Lisa: Hah!
BOB as you have the sync on your computer now
BOB I know but I can hope
Lisa: It was slow loading last week too
TMO: and is there something past the manticores y'all weren't able to explore because both thieves were gone pooping?
BOB updates and purchases
Lisa: yes TMO
BOB I promise to not buy anything this week
Lisa: LOL
Carissa (N'laea): Sureeee
BOB Branwyn can make an inuition check
Branwyn: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 9]
Carissa (N'laea): Yes pit fall trap. We found it, but we need an expert trap disabler which is... none of you, except Lanek :)
Branwyn: Yes! Lanek is here!!!
Lisa (Branwyn): He will save the day
Lanek: hee!
Carissa (N'laea): Branwyn can tell some of the slow loading is also from Bob's purchases.
Lisa (Branwyn): LOL
BOB Branwyn can guess that the only doors you have encountered have been either slave rooms/prisoners or the guards for them
Spring (Lanek): imagine he said that sarcastically
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lanek is allowed to be gone forever, he's pretty old. Old people are SUPPOSED to have pooping issues.
BOB Quote for Carissa
Carissa (N'laea): Yay let's skip them!
Carissa (N'laea): LOL
Spring (Lanek): hahahahah peeing issues too
Lanek: i had to go take a leak but before i got back here i had to take a leak again
BOB and LOL that was for the purchase quote but the quote for Lanek works well too
Lisa (Branwyn): If we did open them I would recommend a open it a bit and peek and close quickly thing
Carissa (N'laea): lol
Raelynn: You don't need to tell us, really.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have a feeling we need to be going past the trap or the manticores
BOB Why is there an OR there?
Lisa (Branwyn): Oh we will. Lanek is good at traps
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): In case we go into the manticore cage?
BOB grins
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bring home a new pet for the zoo?
Carissa (Raelynn): Yes!!
Lisa (Branwyn): That's not happening unless domeone has monster friendship as a spell
Carissa (Raelynn): I think Shi actually does :(
Carissa (Raelynn): Do offerings work? I'm just saying I still want to offer up Yout
Lisa (Branwyn): can we get rid of Youtargim's height label?
BOB one of the abandoned villages on Farmers Turn can be built up intio?
Lisa (Branwyn): That 5 ft bothers me for some unknown reason
Carissa (Raelynn): A zoo, yes.
Spring (Lanek): it's VERY IMPORTANT that he's 5 ft
Carissa (Raelynn): Because he's rubbing it in Indigo and Bixi's faces?
BOB LOL to Carissa, and sorry Lisa when he is on a different map it will go away
Spring (Lanek): LOLOLOL
BOB He is falling and forgot to hit the ground.....
Lisa (Branwyn): Are the dwarves following us?
BOB deep dive comment for HGG
BOB yes the dwarves are behind you
BOB not bogging you down with all the icons
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
Lisa (Branwyn): Can we say we can bring a dwarves home instead of manticores and still make people happy?
Carissa (Raelynn): I think zoos are better ethically than a freak show that dwarves woudl be in the Mist but okay.
BOB LOL
Carissa (Raelynn): I think zoos are better ethically than a freak show that dwarves woudl be in the Mist but okay.
BOB sorry
Carissa (Raelynn): WAIT! If we hire the dwarves as the zookeepers we'd get massive admission! Combined it! Okay. We can start with dwarves.
Lisa (Branwyn): But Skarp is out there in the world somewhere. We can send the dwarves to him or to the Macbeth area
Lisa (Branwyn): LOL Carissa!
Raelynn: So future plans aside, how much do we care about opening the other doors? Want to go straight to pit fall? Anyone want to yell at Yout?
Carissa (Raelynn): oops
Lisa (Branwyn): Ok if we don't have to corral the dwarves can we just say we take the gold to the Keeper's room and then go into the secret room?
Carissa (Raelynn): oh right, gold, too yes
BOB LOL
BOB Yes to LIsa
Carissa (Raelynn): no lie, debated having N'laea chew his ear off, but she can save that for later....
Lisa (Branwyn): ewww!
User has gone AFK. (Spring)
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL she's not that savage...maybe
BOB N'laea v Mike Tyson
Carissa (Raelynn): We'll blame the giants for giving her the idea
BOB so to be clear you have the double wide corridoor on your left/north there that goes back to the large central room
BOB you have the coridoor in front of you that goes off into areas you have not explored
User is back. (Spring)
Lisa (Branwyn): thought you said it had rubble and was blocked off
BOB Yes that also
Lisa (Branwyn): I thought originally based on the direction that it led back to the bugbears
Carissa (Raelynn): Front and north/left should be bugbears, yes
BOB You do not know because it looks like it is blocked off with rubble
Lisa (Branwyn): Bugbear 6 ran back out of the room we were fighting in to get to the forge so I thought it had to connect somehow
Carissa (Raelynn): Looks like? As in we need to check or we need an illusionist to tell su it isn't rubble?
BOB you do know that the opening past the double wide does go to the bugbears area
Lisa (Branwyn): Not interested in revisiting the bugbears at this time thank you
TMO (Craigh): WonderTwin Powers Activate! Shape of: Black Ooze!
BOB yes to Lisa the bugbear did run out of that area, and then down the hallway you are now in to the room past you
TMO (Craigh): is there any way we can mark on the map where we still have known areas we can explore?
BOB The only areas you know you can explore (other than the manticore area behind the secret door) is where that blockage is
TMO (Craigh): circled possible exploration area that I can't tell if they're dead ends or not
BOB Yes
Lisa: Didn't we discover they were expanding down here and so there was a bunch of construction and debris?
Lisa: I call red herring
Carissa (Raelynn): Definitely was to the north, I remember
Lisa: we decide we want to go to pit room and all we are hearing is look at the rubble, rubble is unexplored
Lisa: blah blah
Lisa: I want to fall in a pit trap please
TMO (Craigh): I circled where I think the construction I know of was
Carissa (Raelynn): We look. It looks like rubble, what else matters?
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 12]
TMO (Craigh): btw, having dice and draw color are the same thing, and drawing in black is rather pointless on this map. ;)
Carissa (N'laea): IT's rubble right???
TMO (Craigh): my thought is to go past the manticores while we have the experts here
BOB Yes to rubble?
Carissa (N'laea): Then to the pit trap!
TMO (Craigh): *shrug*
Spring (Lanek): beats me
The date is Mid____se, 25th Fey (Winter), 351 SKR
Young Moon's phase is Last Quarter
Old Moon's phase is Waxing Gibbous
The time is 1:15 PM
Lisa: I agree with TMO
Lisa: the thing with the manticores is just don't walk in front of them
Lisa: but we do get to play guess the correct lever game
TMO (Craigh): you hop on one foot. they can't target you then
Lisa: to raise the gate on the pit trap hallway
TMO (Craigh): we can't get muscle bros to lift it?
Lisa: 3 levers - 2 would theorectically open the 2 manticore gates and 1 for the pit trap gate
Carissa (N'laea): Toss food in front of them to distract them. If we open the wrong gate, close it again while they're distracted?
BOB So there is everyone in front of the secret door
BOB in the large room
TMO (Craigh): someone say friend in Elvish
BOB and as you make plans I do a bio break
Lanek: do youbreathtaking geniuses want me to check for traps?
Craigh: We've been through this door.
TMO (Craigh): I need to step AFK for just a couple of minutes. brb
Spring (Lanek): oh so this isn't the one?
User has gone AFK. (TMO)
N'laea : [Translation] Friend
<font color="#000000">Friend
[understood by: N'laea, Raelynn, Licornah]
Spring (Lanek): i wasted a perfectly good backhanded insult?
Carissa (N'laea): (for TMO)
Branwyn: Not yet Lanek. We will need you at the pit trap that Licornah saw
Lanek harrumphs
Lisa (Branwyn): no never a waste :)
Branwyn: If two of the three levers open the manticore gates it would make sense that the back gate lever is either the first or the last lever. That narrows it down a bit ...
BOB back
N'laea: We can give them food to distract them and close the gate again if we open the wrong one.
BOB and using icons on the CT for ease
Carissa (N'laea): (also did we theoretically drag all that gold back to the Keeper's room?)
Giant, Fire : [Translation] HEY Olgoff, time for lunch are you still working?
<font color="#000000">HEY Olgoff, time for lunch are you still working?
[understood by: ]
Giant, Fire : [Translation] WAIT what is that light?
<font color="#000000">WAIT what is that light?
[understood by: ]
Lisa (Branwyn): seriously?
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 8]
Carissa (N'laea): Is it because we're finally close???? Ughhh
Youtargim: CRAP
Youtargim: They are calling someone to lunch
N'laea: Jam the lock?
Youtargim : [Translation] I WILL BE RIGHT UP
<font color="#000000">I WILL BE RIGHT UP
[understood by: ]
Branwyn: get inside the secret room. Now!
Youtargim : [Translation] JUST A FEW MINUTES
<font color="#000000">JUST A FEW MINUTES
[understood by: ]
Youtargim: Move move
Branwyn: Don't talk to them. MOVE
Branwyn: Elves open it!
Spring (Lanek): so, which way is the secret room?
Carissa (N'laea): (I was going to suggest we feed the ape bodies to the manticore but oh well)
Spring (Lanek): oh thanks
Youtargim: Everyone safe?
Branwyn: Yes close the door behind you please
N'laea: For now. But if your new friend rats us out, we won't be for long.
Youtargim: Or stay here and answer them?
Youtargim: You tell me Countess
Branwyn: No you do not have a giant voice
Branwyn: Just get in here and close the door
Youtargim: Glad you made it in Rae
Lanek: well whaddya know. i think the Pentagram Kid just saved our lives
Raelynn: Hmph.
User is back. (TMO)
N'laea: If anyone has food to spare, I can toss it to the manticores while we figure out the levers.
Lanek: naw, wait, i'll call him Starfish, since they also have five feet
Carissa (N'laea): (LOL)
BOB So everyone is inside the secret door and closed behind you
Branwyn: If the giants are calling down here our time may be running short. Let's get moving shall we?
Craigh: So, *if* our friend back there squeals on us, it's possible someone may come check on the chain to make sure it's still there. If it's in here, we can hide and watch them go through the traps.
BOB Lanek is in front of the levers
Craigh: Assuming we can hide the whole group of us, of course.
Spring (Lanek): oh good. i saw some shadowy shapes i thought might be them
BOB you have the open room to the NW
Branwyn: There aren't many places to hide in that room
BOB and to the North and then east is the gate where the pit trap it
Spring (Lanek): oh i misremembered. the pit trap is not here. i'm not catching up that fast
Craigh: I wasn't sure if we had a mass invisibility spell available.
Lanek scowls at everyone
Spring (Lanek): so refreshing to play a complete butthole
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger: Move Silently [PERCENT:Ranger: Move Silently] (vs. Target 67) [FAILURE by 4] [d100 = 71]
N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger: Hide in Shadows [PERCENT:Ranger: Hide in Shadows] (vs. Target 59) [SUCCESS by 4] [d100 = 55]
Carissa (N'laea): inching forward to see if she can first hear what the manticores are doing
N'laea inching forward to see if she can first hear what the manticores are doing
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 3]
Lisa (Branwyn): waiting on obs reading
TMO (Craigh): same
Spring (Lanek): the suspense!
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
TMO (Craigh): *drum roll*
BOB Ok so N'laea tried to move silently, and then tried to hide in shadows, then tried Observation
Carissa (N'laea): and succeed in two out of the three!
BOB Overall the effect is that N'laea was able to move forward along the wall and was not silent but was in the shadows and did see that the manticores are still in their pen
Carissa (N'laea): well that's useless, are they doing anything?
BOB No
BOB they cannot see you yet
N'laea tries to angle just enough to see inside the bars holding an apple in her hand
Carissa (N'laea): (but too far to be pulled in)
BOB correct
Carissa (N'laea): (but does she now see anything or them her or...?
BOB and Sigh the cool new Manticore icons are gone
Indigo: Should I just pull a lever? I think it's the right one
Carissa (N'laea): (lol let her toss food and move first)
Carissa (N'laea): did they get bigger?? was it because of the food? :(
BOB and there you go
BOB at least there are icons now
Carissa (N'laea): (so quick check: can we spot the gate NE that we want to move or does someone need to be up there to tell us if we're successful?)
Lisa (Indigo): I would hope we could hear it
BOB N'laea from where she is can see all three gates
Craigh: Wiggle a lever carefully, see if we can hear the mechanism of the gate it lifts?
Craigh: Not enough to raise the gate, of course.
BOB Lorie?
BOB ideas?
N'laea is ready with food to toss in.
Carissa (N'laea): (and hopefully at least hidden in shadow if that's how we'll do this)
Lorie (Licornah): (Pondering ... they seem to be on it)
Shislif (Zayden): Hi everyone so sorry zoom went long!
Lisa (Indigo): no worries
Shislif (Zayden): whoa we moved a lot!
Carissa (N'laea): (haven't missed much yet except giants calling someone to lunch)
Indigo: tries to wiggle the right lever like Craigh suggested
BOB does not move
Indigo: Think we need to pull it
BOB feels like it needs real pressure
Carissa (N'laea): (shockers)
Craigh: Stupid efficient engineer giants...
Indigo: Are we ready? We have to pull one of them
Zayden: Shall we try to push it together?
User is back. (Lemon)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): back, sorry, trying to catch up real quick
Craigh: Should we move into the room so we can contain them immediately in their own room if needed?
BOB YES now you can deal with anything Lemon is back
Lisa (Indigo): lol
Carissa (N'laea): (secret room, about to pull lever, giants calling other giants to lunch)
Carissa (N'laea): (you're caught up now)
Indigo: You want to be in the room if I pull the wrong lever?
BOB So you are moving into the large room? or staying in the room next to the exit?
Craigh shrugs.
Carissa (N'laea): (do we want more targets if we pull the wrong one or hope N'laea can back up/escape if we do?)
Shislif (Zayden): should we stay away from the Manticores?
Craigh: I'm not the tactical expert.
BOB (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKrrsblW4IQ">(LINK)</a>
Raelynn pulls cloak around and goes into the room
Raelynn: whispering, "I'm not leaving her all alone in there."
Shislif (Zayden): I like dis
Spring (Lanek): :-)
Shislif (Zayden): leaving who?
Carissa (Raelynn): (N'laea to watch what gates move)
Youtargim: Rae I will go with you
Lisa (Indigo): Unless raelynn wants to cast augury and ask if manticores will eat us if Indigo pulls right lever I think it is a guessing game. I am thinking the left two are somehow closer to the manticores and the right one is the odd one so if everyone is happy where they are I can try it
Carissa (Raelynn): (she should hopefully be in shadows with food to distract if wrong lever but... ya never know)
TMO (Craigh): I have no clever tricks for finding a solution
Carissa (Raelynn): (Unless Bixi wants to illusion up a feast as a distraction in the room if needed ;) )
Shislif (Zayden): Let's see what happens!
Indigo: just say something if it's the wrong gate and we'll try to close it before all of them get out :)
Carissa (Raelynn): (that's the plan!)
Carissa (Raelynn): (and that hallway you're in should be big enough you can move past each other if needed to help)
Indigo: pulls the right lever
Raelynn watching very carefully
N'laea watching very carefully
Zayden: Covers his groin area
Zayden doh
Lisa (Indigo): as he is looking at them it would be the one to the north
BOB The inner gate opens up
Lanek: :-D
Spring (Lanek): :-D
BOB and one of the manticores rushes the gate
Indigo: Manticores?
BOB but the front one is still down
N'laea: Inner gate, but they are eager to get out...
N'laea: Hold on, let me see something....
N'laea takes an apple and tries to roll it past the gates towards the back of the cage.
Craigh: Spray it in the face with a water bottle?
BOB It ignores the apple
Indigo: You don't want me to close it???
Carissa (N'laea): (are all four past the inner gate?)
N'laea: Close it.
Indigo: pulls lever to close inner gate
Manticore 4: [CAST] Spike Volley [at N'laea]
Manticore 4: [ATTACK (R)] Spike Volley [THACO(13)] [d20 = 10]
Attack [10] ->[ATTACK (R)] [at N'laea] [Hit-AC: 3 vs. 10 ] [AC: 3 ] [Location: Side, lower] [HIT]
Manticore 4: [DAMAGE] Spike Volley [TYPE: piercing,magic +2 (d6=2)] [d6 = 2]
[2] -> [to N'laea]
Spring (Lanek): damn!
N'laea backs up out of range.
Manticore 4: ROARS as the gate comes down on it's tail
Shislif (Zayden): why is indigo's icon so small?
Zayden: Ouch
Indigo: Okay so lever 3 is the back manticore gate so lever 2 is probably the other manticore gate and then that means lever 1 is the back gate!
Carissa (N'laea): (wait then how is it tossing spikes at her if its tail is stuck?)
Zayden: I would not want to be a Manticore no more!
BOB So the manticore is now trapped between the two sets of gates
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Honestly, I'm ready to just die here and start over later lol
Carissa (N'laea): (just the one? meaning if we open the wrong lever it'll be just that one stuck between that could get out?)
BOB yes
BOB but you know which lever controls the inner gate now
Shislif (Zayden): I'm a little confused with the levers and gates situation...
BOB you only have two left
N'laea: You trapped the only one that got out. If you open the wrong gate again, it'll be stuck there. Poor thing, but perhaps for the best...
BOB Lisa can explain
Indigo: pulls lever one to the south
Lisa (Indigo): no she can't it will be over soon :)
Zayden: Nice job Indigo!
Carissa (N'laea): but not in an ominous way!
BOB and the gate to the NE opens up
Lisa (Indigo): 3 gates 3 levers we don't know which one goes to which gate so we are guessing
Carissa (N'laea): (the one we want, right?)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Great, can we let the manticore baby back in with her siblings now?
Lisa (Indigo): Yay!!
N'laea: Correct one.
Indigo: Whew!
Indigo: 2 out of 3 isn't too bad, right?
N'laea: I feel as though we should free the tail of the one, but it may backfire...
N'laea: No. It was a good guess.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe just before we leave?
Zayden: 2 out of 3 is the best it could be
N'laea: If we come back this way, yes.
Bixi Fizzlebang: We can come back here and teleport out if all goes well?
Branwyn: Now Lanek, we need you
Carissa (N'laea): (wait our gold is back here so we probably will try to at least come back, lol)
Zayden: so we could have teleported out this whole time?
Branwyn: stay away from the area in fron of the manticore gates please
Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... Zayden it's complicated
Branwyn: They can still send spikes at us
Lanek rolls up sleeves
Bixi Fizzlebang: We need to find this thing to give a goddess before we can really leave
Branwyn: No we cannot treleport out
Zayden: Oh ok, I don't care for complicated things
Bixi Fizzlebang: Otherwise I think she's going to murder us
Lisa (Branwyn): teleport even
Carissa (N'laea): telephone perhaps?
Craigh: There are worse ways to die, I suppose
Lanek: point me at what you want me to check
Raelynn: She is the Goddess of Death, too, so... I'm not sure about that.
Zayden: My sister Hannah, growing up, was always excellent at finding things, too bad she's not me
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): There's no way these giants are getting up for lunch, they only passed out from the feast a few hours ago
Branwyn: Come on Lanek. Chop chop!
Branwyn: smiles at Lanek
Lanek scowls
Zayden: Giants are notoriously slow digesters
Lanek: i'm RIGHT HERE
Lanek points at his own face and head
BOB Lanek and Zay are there where the gate has opened
Shislif (Zayden): Oh thanks for moving me
Raelynn: Mm, yes but maybe I'm not the only one who doesn't try to look at you long...
BOB you can see on the map where others have indicated there is a pit trap
Branwyn: Down that hall is where Licornah located the pit trap
Lanek: [SKILL] Find/Remove Traps [PERCENT:Find/Remove Traps] (vs. Target 70) [SUCCESS by 40] [d100 = 30]
Lisa (Branwyn): nice!
Shislif (Zayden): Should I try find/remove traps?
TMO (Craigh): iirc, Craigh found the pit trap, so he'll point it out to Lanek
Carissa (N'laea): (nicee)
Shislif (Zayden): oh nvm lol
Lisa (Branwyn): licornah found it second :)
Carissa (N'laea): (Craigh told us there was a trap, Licornah used her magic to find exactly where since you were on vacation or some lame excuse like that ;)
Lanek gestures "after you"
TMO (Craigh): (that works!)
Shislif (Zayden): haha, lame excused are my sprecialty :)
BOB Lanek grumbles and walks forward, and looks around, spots the stone on the wall, moves to disable how it moves and snorts,
BOB Nice try
Craigh: Want me to lead, or someone else?
BOB Lanek points out a pit trap that falls down to who knows what
Spring (Lanek): that's fair
Branwyn: Wonderful work Lanek!
Zayden: Thank you kind sir!
BOB Now you can see a new coriddoor south and still heading east
Lanek makes a sour face like getting praise for baby work is an insult
Spring (Lanek): told you he's a butthole
Lisa (Branwyn): let the thieves lead is fine with me
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Lisa (Branwyn): Craigh Zayden and Lanek
Shislif (Zayden): what up?
Shislif (Zayden): Find/Remove traps time?
Lanek: We Three Thieves are exploring afar
This looks like a storage room. The room has various items which will immediately be noticed: A large Chest, an Iron box and a Small Coffer. There are also 3 broken boxes and in the southeast corner a broken barrel. In the southwest corner is a large patch of Yellow mold.
Spring (Lanek): i promise i had the Alt down
Craigh: Lanek already did this one.
Lanek: oh hey, look where we are
Shislif (Zayden): am I in the room now?
Spring (Lanek): looks like it
Lisa (Branwyn): is that the room ahead of them or the corridor to the south of the pit trap?
Carissa (N'laea): don't touch the mold, always a bad idea
Shislif (Zayden): is find/remove traps the same as detecting traps?
Shislif (Zayden): I wanna check for traps
BOB erasing the pit trap that you have disabled so people can move around it
Lisa (Branwyn): lol Shislif
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 11]
Spring (Lanek): yeah i think they are the same
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I want to know more about the mold
Shislif (Zayden): so do I grab the dice and roll it?
BOB Bixi does speak up and says that Yellow Mold can be very dangerous
Craigh: I'll look at the broken containers. No locks on those.
Carissa (N'laea): oooh botany roll useful in the underground!
Branwyn: thinks, where is her husband
Spring (Lanek): on the character sheet is a tiny die icon for each ability. you grab that and drag it into the chat box
Bixi Fizzlebang: Everyone stay away from the yellow mold!
Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]
Bixi Fizzlebang: That stuff can kill you
Spring (Lanek): at least i think that icon is a die
Zayden: [SKILL] Find/Remove Traps [PERCENT:Find/Remove Traps] (vs. Target 90) [SUCCESS by 83] [d100 = 7]
Spring (Lanek): yay!!
Branwyn: Thank you Bixi.
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 7]
Shislif (Zayden): Ack green on grey!
Craigh: Good job, apprentice.
Lisa (Branwyn): what were you removing traps on?
Shislif (Zayden): I wanted to check for traps
Spring (Lanek): i think that was a practice roll?
Lisa (Branwyn): you have to call what you want to check
Lisa (Branwyn): fyi
Spring (Lanek): cuz we don't currently have a thing to check right now
BOB Bixi gets to know that anyone withing 10 feet of a yellow mold will die in 24 hours if they do not make a save
Lisa (Branwyn): 3 closed things
Spring (Lanek): 10 FEET?!?! holy crap
Bixi Fizzlebang: Like stay REALLY FAR AWAY
Bixi Fizzlebang: Minimum of 10 feet.
Carissa (N'laea): (can we burn it? or was that pudding I'm thinking of?)
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not joking when I say it can kill you. It can like, REALLY KILL YOU
Carissa (N'laea): (each square is 20 ft, yes? so half a square away)
Lanek looks intensely nervous
Bixi Fizzlebang: Very quickly. Within a day.
Indigo: Wow! Really dangerous
Shislif (Zayden): Is the coffer in the same area as the mold?

BOB sigh, my whispers always fail
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): HAHAHAHA, BOTANY FINALLY USEFUL!
Lisa (Indigo): YAY!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): caps on purpose
Spring (Lanek): hahahaha
BOB Bixi - sometimes they grow and become sentient
Shislif (Zayden): Not sure what to do at the moment
Spring (Lanek): yeah i'm like, i don't wanna move or breathe or anything
Lisa (Indigo): we're acclimating that we are in a room with thinking breathing killer mold - we will get to the chests and boxes next :)
Bixi Fizzlebang: Be prepared to run if necessary... I've heard that they can... um... come after you. That mold might chase us down if it's old enough.
Craigh moves along the north edge of the room to stay far away from the mold and goes to the broken crates and barrel.
BOB to recap you have moved into the entrance of this room beyond the secret room and the gates, and found several chests and guarded by a yellow mold
Craigh: Old Bold Mold?
Carissa (N'laea): (guarded by it....)
Craigh: Old Bold Gold Mold.
N'laea: Do you know what kills it, Bixi?
Lisa (Indigo): guarded by? mold is in front of?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Do I?
TMO (Craigh): the mold is southwest, broken crates southeast I thought
BOB Bixi knows that it is only by fire
Lanek: okay so i have nothing to use for mold
Bixi Fizzlebang: Fire
Bixi Fizzlebang: Only fire
N'laea: How far away can you do a cantrip, Branwyn?
Shislif (Zayden): Can I hide in shadows before going towards the crates? So as not to disturb the mold?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Botany saves the day! Oh man, Bixi is going to have a REALLY GOOD JOURNAL ENTRY to write when she gets back home
BOB you can try
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I wouldn't recommend it
Branwyn: About 10 feet
Zayden Hides in shadows
Carissa (N'laea): (okay but only if you POST THOSE ENTRIES!) :)
Branwyn: but we could light a torch and throw it onto the mold
BOB you drag that roll over to the castle
Zayden: [SKILL] Hide In ShadTows [PERCENT:Hide In ShadTows] (vs. Target 30) [FAILURE by 14] [d100 = 44]
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The mold might be able to see you anyway, and if not, you still might be able to breathe in deadly spores
Shislif (Zayden): doh
N'laea: I cannot see in there. Should we remove it first? Or remove what is flammable first?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know, that's just a guess. But considering how deadly it is... I personally wouldn't chance it
N'laea: Er, nevermind. If it is intelligent, perhaps we should kill it first?
Shislif (Zayden): then I do nothing
Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean... it's not NECESSARILY intelligent YET, but... it could be.
Lisa (Branwyn): you might have anyway if you say you moved and then fail your roll you still moved
Shislif (Zayden): good point
N'laea shakes head
Lanek: i know ... i know i'm a theif and i should never say this .... but let's forget the chests. we don't need em
N'laea: It is for the thieves to decide if they want to pillage first or not.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You have no idea what a party I am having inside my head at my botany being so good y'all.
BOB By the way even if Michael is not here, the Marlins are up 7 to 0 over Philly
BOB grins
Zayden: Not worth our lives lads
Lisa (Branwyn): can we move everyone up to the general area BOB? we have serious laggers still at the entrance
Lanek: live to steal another day and all that
Craigh: I'm game for burning it from around the corner
Carissa (N'laea): (yeah but don't put them all within 10 ft)
Branwyn: The chain could be in here
Zayden: Maybe we sick the dwarves on it!
BOB Talwin is back at the levers
N'laea: I am betting so if it's guarded by deadly mold. Once we remove the mold, it should be safer to find amongst the mess in there.
Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean, we have already found plenty of treasure... we might not even be able to carry whatever it's guarding. But yeah, if it's guarding the chain...
BOB along with the dwarves
Lisa: This looks like a storage room. The room has various items which will immediately be noticed: A large Chest, an Iron box and a Small Coffer. There are also 3 broken boxes and in the southeast corner a broken barrel. In the southwest corner is a large patch of Yellow mold.
Zayden: we could just tell the dwarves to pick the stuff up, see how they react?
Bixi Fizzlebang: backs away slowly, not wanting to be anywhere near mold OR fire
Zayden also backs away slowly, but with grace
Lanek also backs up slowly
Carissa (N'laea): (that's where I'm confused, intial reading doesn't say it's guarded but then Bob says it was guarding it)
Bixi Fizzlebang: I wouldn't want to watch dwarves get eaten by mold either
Shislif (Zayden): I'm not sure if I have any moves left
Bixi Fizzlebang: looks slightly nauseous at the idea
Spring (Lanek): we are not in combat so moving should be fine
Bixi Fizzlebang: Too bad we didn't bring that giant with us...
BOB There are chests and a yellow mold in the corner, you can decide if it is guarding the chests in a hidden room guarded by traps or not
Zayden: is yellow mold deadly to all species? Are giants immune? could they be?
Carissa (N'laea): (if we get to decide it the mold isn't blocking our way, ...why wouldn't we chose that?)
Lisa (Branwyn): I decide it's not guarding anything :P
BOB grins go on and choose that option
Craigh: burn it, I guess
Carissa (N'laea): this feels like a trap
Spring (Lanek): a meta trap
Bixi Fizzlebang: I doubt they are immune... but we could have tried to send him in and seen what his reaction was
Carissa (N'laea): how about it doesn't guard it and we still burn it?
BOB cannot imagine why Carissa thinks that
Lorie (Licornah): (AFK )
Spring (Lanek): because of course it's a trap with traps, which may be in its entirety a trap
Zayden: It may not be immune, but it could just be less severe, like a cold to a giant but deadly to the likes of us normalos
BOB Quote for Spring
Spring (Lanek): whether it's actually guarding or not, if the stuff we need is in the toxic zone, it has to be dealt with, one way or another
BOB I will grant Zayden an Intuition check
Branwyn: Craigh do you have a torch?
N'laea: I am not willing to find out. Let us burn it from a safe distance for us then see what is back here.
Lanek: i like that plan
Shislif (Zayden): what's an intuition check again?
Lanek: and i never like other peoples plans
Lisa (Branwyn): WIS
BOB Wisdom
Shislif (Zayden): oh ok, so I roll?
Lisa (Branwyn): first page on your character sheet
N'laea: Do I take that as a compliment? Or just a statement of fact?
BOB (also by the way I am talking with someone to create an extension to give us back split stats)
Bixi Fizzlebang: It might be an insult
Zayden: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 9] [d20 = 20]
Carissa (N'laea): (wooo! Rae can be pretty again if that's so!)
Shislif (Zayden): dang
Shislif (Zayden): unwise
Lanek: harrumph
Branwyn: takes off her cloak and prepares to wrap it around her face before they attack the mold
Zayden: I guess the giants would likely die as well
Lanek: it means the situation is so extraordinary that a lollipop like you might be right
N'laea backs up, notices, and does the same.
N'laea: A.... lollipop?
N'laea is confused by what a lollipop is.
Craigh: I have a candle.
Zayden: I'll have you know I'm a very wise lollipop sir
Branwyn: Indigo try to cover your face with something if we're going to attack this mold
Spring (Lanek): he likes being inscrutible
Zayden: just not with yellow mold
Carissa (N'laea): (she's an elf who doesn't know what it is to even know if that's an insult, lol)
Lanek wraps up his face also
TMO (Craigh): I don't appear to have any way of lighting it though... is that even an item you can get?
Shislif (Zayden): should I end my turn?
BOB No worries on that Sharif, I am tracking rounds how time is passing
Branwyn: There's got to be a stick or something around hers. Maybe we should check that corridor off the trap
Branwyn: I can cut some of my cloak and we can make a torch
Shislif (Zayden): ok, lemme know when I need to do something :)
Branwyn: slowly goes down the corridor to check it
Carissa (N'laea): can't she cantrip that? I feel like for Bran she can cantrip anything, lol
Shislif (Zayden): so if I fail a wisdom check like that, that means what I was saying was wrong basically?
BOB Youtagrim accompies Branwyn
BOB No to Sharif, just that you did not have a good insight
Lisa (Branwyn): she can cantrip a small fire to light something but not enough to attack something
Shislif (Zayden): ah ok
Branwyn: Oh lovely! It's a large windy hallway
Carissa (N'laea): lol I meant a torch or sticks
TMO (Craigh): good point, Craigh could cantrip too, forgot about that
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If you succeeded, BOB probably would have given you some bonus information
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No loss for failing, just no immediate gain either
BOB Tiberius is standing at the place where the gate could come down, in the wild idea he can catch it and stop it from falling
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Tiberius is about to die
Lisa (Branwyn): Please don't stand in the insta death place
Shislif (Zayden): ah ok thanks Lemon
Youtargim: Stairs up, I think we might need to be worried about that
TMO (Craigh): honestly, where *else* would he stand?
Zayden: I like this Tiberius fellow
Zayden: He's got moxy
Branwyn: Stairs up?
Spring (Lanek): that's an understatement - about moxy
Branwyn: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 5]
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ugggghhhhh
Spring (Lanek): he has tons
Youtargim: Up there is not a good space
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Lorie (Licornah): (BAK )
Lisa (Branwyn): Oh wait when I zoom out the map it connects to the halls we've been to already
Craigh: What do you mean, 'not a good space'?
BOB So a stair down from the upstairs that bypasses the secret door
Lisa (Branwyn): or not - sorry
Lisa (Branwyn): this place is confusing
BOB You could go up the stairs to see where it originates upstairs
Craigh: I say we just get the chain and vamoose.
Branwyn: So giants from upstairs could come here and bypass the manticores and pit trap
BOB BINDGO
BOB BINGO even
Lisa (Branwyn): 10 xp :D
BOB not the pit trap but the stone that controls it is on this side so yes
Branwyn: And if there is a need to do that, it would be to get in the room with the yellow mold
BOB nods
Branwyn: The iron box would be fire proof
BOB HUH
Craigh lights his candle using a cantrip.
Lisa (Branwyn): I am talking to Youtargim and Shislif
TMO (Craigh): oh, sorry. ignore me
BOB LOL
Craigh rewinds
Lisa (Branwyn): unless Craigh comes down - is fine
Zayden: so we start a fire then?
Lisa (Branwyn): I just kept talking and Bob was nodding :)
Zayden: and hide?
BOB grins
Zayden: Crazy enough, it just might work...
Branwyn: We don't know where these stairs lead to upstairs but it could be our way out
Zayden: Anybody got a match?
Branwyn: still looking at the stairs and thinking out loud
Branwyn: Might be better than going back past the kitchen and great hall ...
Zayden: I think it's a great idea, but where will we hide?
Branwyn: Okay! Back to the mold room for now.
Youtargim: I will guard this hallway
Branwyn: looks at her husband
Zayden: and how long will we need to hide for?
Craigh: Ready for me to light it?
Branwyn: Tiberius! You could get smashed by the gate. Please don't stand there
Tiberius Branadarus: Someone has to stop it from dropping
Branwyn: The lever stops it from dropping
Tiberius Branadarus: YOU are the one that is standing on top of the pit trap
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Zayden chuckles
Branwyn: grins
Tiberius Branadarus: Laughs
Tiberius Branadarus: Love you
Branwyn: I'll move if you do
Branwyn: Love you too
Lanek makes gagging sound
Bixi Fizzlebang: rolls her eyes
Tiberius Branadarus: Promise we will have this much fun in Hell
Tiberius Branadarus: Steps inside of the gates
Branwyn: How could we not?
Lanek: don't ... don't show up in hell. please
Zayden: Anybody concerned about our hidding spot?
Lanek: oh wait, you mean our vacation. nevermind
Zayden: I rather not visit hell TONIGHT
Branwyn: What are we hiding from?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Not any more concerned than I was when we had two giants murdering us
Tiberius Branadarus: YES Lanek, exactly! we need a vacation, Hell sounds like a fun place
Lanek: yeah. you do that. it'll be great
Zayden: Well what if we start the fire and the giants come down to deal with the fire?
Bixi Fizzlebang: What if we don't, and we're stuck here forever?
Craigh: I don't see any fire alarms
Lisa (Branwyn): craigh has a candle? do we want to try to cantrip a stick and make a torch?
Zayden: Well then we'd be in hell already
Lanek: i AM in hell already
BOB We didn't start the fire... add link
Zayden: It was always burnin...
Lisa (Branwyn): groan
Bixi Fizzlebang: Agreed, Lanek.
Zayden: Set it on fire Craigh, let's see what happens!
N'laea: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WaV2x8GXj0">(LINK)</a>
BOB Thank you Carissa
Lanek: i've got a yellow blob of toxicity to the back of me and icky gross love stuff in the front
Carissa (N'laea): (if you aren't gonna link it, I'm chosing which fire song)
Lanek: giants above and a pit below, let's just die already
BOB HAH I did not look
Craigh hands his candle to Zayden to hold, then flicks the wick alight.
Carissa (N'laea): (fits for this and future hell trip)
BOB and LOVE Spring
BOB you are wonderful
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I've got a lovely blob of yellow mold, dee dee dee dee, there it is all hunched up in the corner
Spring (Lanek): hee!
Zayden: You putting this on me there friend?
Zayden: Can I get a ready from everyone?
Craigh takes the candle, reaches around the corner and tosses the candle onto the mold and ducks back behind the corner as it flies.
Lanek: whatever. do the thing if you want
Bixi Fizzlebang: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf670orHKcA">(LINK)</a>
Craigh: Duck!
Zayden follows Craigh
BOB So brining us all back you have the room there with a yellow mold that is only defeated by fire (ignoring how the giants deal with it) and you have to find a way to get through this mess of a room
Lanek ducks
Branwyn: wraps cloak around her face
Carissa (N'laea): why not this one Lemon?
N'laea: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vifVEg7NepI">(LINK)</a>
BOB The burning candle lands on the Yellow Mold but burns out quickly
Indigo: does the same
Zayden laughs
TMO (Craigh): Shilif - Craigh only has one arm - he needed Zayden to hold the candle while he lit it
Lanek: well that was dramatic
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Because I'm a snob about covers?
Lisa (Indigo): did it twitch?
BOB yes
Carissa (N'laea): (but Lion King!)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, I know
BOB it was affected by the fire but did not significantly damage it
Zayden: Will I ever leave this horrid space? Could I be, If I could, in any other place...
Zayden: we should have thrown some oil first on it or something perhaps
Branwyn: concentrates on a creating a foot long stick with enough width to make a torch
BOB I nominate Sharif to comple all the video links for the website
Branwyn: [SKILL] Cantrip [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 17) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 20]
Carissa (N'laea): (ouchhh)
Lisa (Branwyn): ouch :)
Shislif (Zayden): videos?
BOB there is no need to roll for Branwyn
Carissa (N'laea): (then look away!)
Lisa (Branwyn): where's Howard when we need him
N'laea: (you saw nothing there)'
BOB she can automatically do cantrips at her level
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): This is Bixi's theme song, ever since she picked up that one super useful rock in Pandemonium
Carissa (N'laea): (hopefully studying - he needs it)
Bixi Fizzlebang: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp8znvfYbow">(LINK)</a>
Lisa (Branwyn): so she gets a stick?
BOB yes
Branwyn: unwraps her cloak and takes out her dagger and cuts a swath to wrap around the end of the stick
Shislif (Zayden): No problem you just gotta explain to me later how to do it
Craigh: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9eSffLoX28">(LINK)</a>
BOB for Sharif, all these links that have flown by can be added to the Songs page for this Story Arc
Shislif (Zayden): stop linking!
BOB LOL
Branwyn: Craigh? Can you cantrip some oil on the end of this thing to make a torch please?
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Craigh: Sure, I think.
Branwyn: holds out her makeshift torch
BOB I will explain later in the weekend
Shislif (Zayden): alright no worries as long as I can come back to it after we're done
Craigh cantrips up some oil
N'laea: ....(LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfbJCzaEdps">(LINK)</a>
TMO (Craigh): he needs to roll, right?
Carissa (N'laea): (are we tossing the torch or just holding it up to the mold? I've lost track)
Branwyn: That should burn better
BOB so yes to Craigh with oil cantrips to coat the stick and cloth that Branwyn cantrips so you have a new readymade torch to light
Lisa (Branwyn): we need to stay 10 ft away so tossing it I think
Carissa (N'laea): (okay just making sure)
Craigh: I'll let somebody with a better arm than me toss that.
Carissa (N'laea): (N'laea has flaming sword, but that's not tossable :) )
Branwyn: Nicely done
Carissa (N'laea): (so making sure distance still is the goal)
BOB grins with Carissa
Shislif (Zayden): is the mold in the southwest or southeast corner?
BOB West
Branwyn: Feeling lucky Shislif? Want to throw this or shall we let one of the fighters try?
Lisa (Branwyn): so 1 cube away is 20 feet away
Zayden: Let one of the fighters go, I been rolling turds all day
Lisa (Branwyn): OOC for rolling speak :)
Carissa (N'laea): (is that where everyone's poop has been going???)
Lisa (Branwyn): LOL
Shislif (Zayden): MB
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lollllllll
BOB HAHA
Spring (Lanek): hahahahaha
Branwyn: Indigo, ready to throw again?
Branwyn: Cover your face and don't get too close
Indigo: Takes the torch
Branwyn: cantrips a small flame to light it
Branwyn: Now go
Zayden: IN-DI-GO IN-DI-GO IN-DI-GO
Indigo: face covered he moves up and throws the torch at the mold
Craigh backs far away from the corner
BOB Roll an attack unless he rolls a 3 or less he hits
Lisa (Indigo): does he have to roll?
Indigo: [ATTACK (M)] Shortsword [THACO(13)] [AC: -8 ] [d20+4 = 21]
BOB WHOOOOOSH
Carissa (N'laea): clearly a miss, damn ;)
Indigo: quickly backs up
Zayden backs up, enamored by the flame
BOB and so you have a room
Lisa (Indigo): in flames?
BOB The mold withers in the flames
Branwyn: looks to see if there are any yellow clouds floating around
N'laea: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxjds6ZbS8M">(LINK)</a>
Branwyn: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 13]
Zayden: that was surprisingly simple
BOB No mold clouds floating around
Branwyn: Looks clear.
Zayden: smells alright
N'laea goes to join the group
Branwyn: Think you should be able to continue searching now
Craigh: Okay, I'll check the broken bits. It's not likely to be trapped.
BOB You have a chest, an iron box, a coffer, a coffer, a barrel and a box
Branwyn: Very good Indigo
Zayden: Thanks Indigo!
Bixi Fizzlebang: It was already trapped
N'laea: You have a good throwing arm.
Branwyn: Branwyn and Indigo move into the room and get out of the way
Lorie (Licornah): (nods in affirmation of Indigo's effort)
Zayden checks out the box
Indigo: grins
Zayden: what's in the box?!
Lanek harrumphs
BOB Sorry seems like a bit of the story has been lost
BOB looking for the room description
Zayden: What's the in the booooox?!
Shislif (Zayden): dang it
BOB Zayden open the box (LOL) and see
BOB a black metal chain
Zayden opens the box
Zayden: oh dang
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): For real.
Zayden: anybody looking for a black metal chain?
N'laea: Yes.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): AFTER ALL THAT
N'laea holds out hand.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): IT WAS RIGHT WHERE WE TRIED TO GO THE FIRST TIME
BOB In the latter is a chain of weird black metal and instructions written in hill giant on a sheet of human skin.
Carissa (N'laea): (gross)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ewwwwwwww
Bixi Fizzlebang: gags
BOB warm smile with Lemon, you could have tried to walk across that pit trap at any time without any thieves you wanted to. :)
Indigo: Youtargim could probably read that
Indigo: It might be chain instructions
N'laea: We can show it to him, but I would prefer to hold on to this, Zayden.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's not my fault that all our thieves have digestion issues!
BOB Quote
Carissa (N'laea): (and lack of trap skills sans one)
Lanek glares
Shislif (Zayden): hi sorry had to step away for a sec
Lisa (Indigo): how big is this chain?
Shislif (Zayden): gross lol
Zayden: Go for it N'laea
N'laea: Thank you.
BOB The chain looks to be black metal not natural and the links are over 4 inches long with a guess (without touching it) that the chain might be two foot long?
Bixi Fizzlebang: is incredibly grateful that she can't carry basically anything
Zayden: That's a pretty big chain, but I've seen bigger
BOB I will give Lanorah, N'laea and Rae an intuition check
Bixi Fizzlebang: It's not a contest
N'laea: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 15]
Licornah: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 10]
Raelynn: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 17]
BOB All of the Elves recognize that this is Drow Metal
N'laea: Odd...
Lorie (Licornah(): (recoils instantly and frowns visibly)
Shislif (Zayden): brb
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
N'laea: Youtargim, can you read giant?
Youtargim: Of course
N'laea: Come read what this says.
Carissa (N'laea): (does NOT hand it over to him, though)
Carissa (N'laea): (she don't trust the lying liar :P)
Youtargim: Hmmm
Youtargim: (Careful not to touch it)
Licornah(: That's dark elf magic... :: pauses:: drow... do not touch that!
N'laea: The metal is, but we do not know about the magic.
Youtargim: This says that this chain is to be used to breach the barriers from Chaos
Youtargim: I think it is like the Countess's Amulet
Indigo: What does that mean?
Youtargim: It allows to move between the Planes
Indigo: It doesn't say anything about controlling giants?
Youtargim: This would be the Planes of Chaos
Youtargim: Well, most giants would be bound by laws so maybe?
Indigo: So did the elf goddesses lie to us?
Youtargim: Is there someone that the Goddess would worry about from Chaos?
Youtargim: This is a chaos agent
Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't understand
Indigo: me neither
Indigo: looks at the elves
BOB Lorie? Carissa?
Raelynn: [SKILL] Religion, Elven [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 14]
Carissa (N'laea): (One-Eye is my first thought, but I don't remember)
BOB (lack of whispers) The Drow worship Lolth who lives in the Abyss, the Planes of Chaos
Relgion (Faerûnian) - free prof
Licornah(: [SKILL] Relgion (Faerûnian) - free prof (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 13]
N'laea: The Drow Gods.
TMO (Craigh): brb
Lorie (Licornah(): (Lloth is the spider goddess and she's not friendly... and chaos is her primary directive)
User has gone AFK. (TMO)
BOB Licornaah would guess this might be a way to breach the Elven Lands and allow Lolth to enter
Carissa (N'laea): (we've dealt with them before-ish with MacBeth)
Carissa (N'laea): (*with her)
Shislif (Zayden): back
Lorie (Licornah(): (Shares what she knows)
BOB Explain that Lorie
BOB IC
Lorie (Licornah(): (Ok)
Lisa (Indigo): sounds seriously fishy to me based on what the goddesses told them but that's an elf problem
Shislif (Zayden): you know what they say, mo elf mo problems
Carissa (N'laea): lol
Lisa (Indigo): lol
Lorie (Licornah(): Okay... so Lloth, she's the more prominent dark elf deity. This amulet allows you to travel to her undercity if I had to guess via this plane.Lloth is unkind and cruel.
Licornah(: I would venture that this elven deity seeks to destroy it
BOB Guesses how that matches up with what you were told about controlling giants?
'Lorie' disconnected
BOB Lorie will be back
Bixi Fizzlebang: Sounds like that's good, though, right?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Do... was that goddess actually someone else disguised as the goddess?
BOB BINGO to Bixi
Zayden: Nice job Bixi!
Lanek: oh. huh
BOB Suddenly all the ideas about an Avatar "losing" a cloak and the manticores here and in the Prime plane
N'laea: So it was not her cloak...
BOB and the disagreements with the avatar and her goddess
BOB and the mist starts to part for the group
'Lorie' connected
BOB Welcome back Loire
BOB Lorie
BOB So listening to ideas on what is happening and how to finish the story arc
Lisa (Indigo): fire giant was right that the elves couldn't be trusted
BOB YES to Lisa
Carissa (N'laea): go home, have some beers, forget everything that happened? :P
Lisa (Indigo): poor Soulless :)
BOB LOL
Licornah(: (Sorry, my server reset)
Shislif (Zayden): I'm still misty...
Lisa (Indigo): now we have to kill bad elven goddesses to get the cloak back to give it to the good elven goddesses?
BOB SO go OOC for a moment to talk abou this
BOB the Goddess was good
Lisa (Indigo): I want to open all the other boxes too btw
BOB the avatar?>>>>
Carissa (N'laea): she was real?
Lorie (Licornah(): (the avatar of Lloth???)
Shislif (Zayden): what's OOC?
N'laea: but how could the GODDESS OF ILLUISIONS not notice the illusions?!?!?!
Carissa (N'laea): (ooc)
Lisa: so good goddess was hanging out with evil avatar?
BOB OOC is Out Of Character
Shislif (Zayden): ah ok thx
Lorie (Licornah(): (Not necessarily apparent that the avatar was of an alignment)
Bixi Fizzlebang: I... still don't understand
User is back. (TMO)
BOB meaning players talking rather than the characters
Lisa: release your character and it will be easier - you don't have to remember to alt-enter
Shislif (Zayden): Yea i getchya :)
Carissa: easiest to release your character so you don't have to keep holding ctrl to talk
Lisa: gmta
BOB warm smile
Carissa: damn, Lisa keeps typing faster than me lately!
Lemon: Ok so even though I cracked this case wide open, I have no idea what's going on
Lisa: crazy!
Shislif (Zayden): how do you release your character?
Carissa: lol
Lisa: right click and then click on eraser
Lorie (Licornah(): (right click on the icon and click on padlock)
Carissa: right click icon at top, chose the eraser icon
BOB grins
Carissa: ....I shouldn't even try tonight, lol
BOB LOL
Shislif: there we go
Shislif: let's get gabbin
BOB So you have lots of good information
Lisa: up to the elves how they want to handle it
BOB and are very close to solving it all
Lisa: tell the goddess her avatar is an imposter and see what happens?
Carissa: still trying to understand it first :P
TMO: so who was the imposter? The one who sent us on this quest?
Carissa: But it was the Goddess herself who went us
Carissa: brought up chat to make sure
BOB You have the chain, you know where it comes from, you can see that there were things wrong with the meeting you had at the beginning
Lorie (Licornah(): (Did we REALLY meet with the goddess)?
Carissa: aren't there, like, OTHER gods we can meet instead?
Lisa: only the elves even heard it first hand the rest of us were all frozen
Carissa: so...is the paint also tained?
Lemon: Was the goddess avatar we met actually this spider goddess whatever, and she wants the chain so she can get in easier ?
Lorie (Licornah(): Get in or get out?
Lemon: blighted*
Lorie (Licornah(): or getting someone / something out
Lisa: or let a bunch of chaotic elves into this pretty plane
Carissa: So the avatar was the one who accused us of stealing the cloak tobeing with while the goddess was the one who sent us after the chain that she claimed gained dominance over giants
Carissa: no thanks
Lisa: I meant maybe that was the goal? I dunno
BOB and TMO did you dream this would be how I turned this module into our game? grins
Carissa: I mean elves are already chaotic, but most at least are chaotic GOOD not chaotic evil. We don't need the elf equivalant of Jennevies running around here
Lemon: I don't even care about the goal now, I just want the facts on what happened lol
BOB LOVE Lemon
Spring: blank look
Carissa: Yeah that's where I'm at. I'm still not connecting dots and/or understanding. So Rae and Nlaea don't have ideas yet because their player is still confused.
Lemon: Like, can we speculate AFTER I understand whether the person who sent us to get the chain was a good or bad person?
Shislif: i'm sure they probably have good and bad qualities
Lemon: Sure, but NPCs definitely lean one way or the other lol
Lorie (Licornah(): (No, they probably have all bad)
Lemon: Like that effing mage
Shislif: yea i'm just playin :)
TMO: Bob - it all depends on if you have G2-3, D1-3, and Q1 sitting on your shelf ready to go.
BOB You have a Goddess who sent you on this mission, who had a disagrement with her Avatar (which is strange) and the Avatar said she did not lose the cloak that the group stole it from her, so the Goddess told you to go get this chain to prove you were not theives and you were heroes and not adventurers
Carissa: (LINK)
<a href="https://youtu.be/WDZ1noGxSMU?t=45">(LINK)</a>
Lemon: Ok, so the avatar is also tricking the goddess?
Lorie (Licornah(): (this avatar is in deep doo and digging out)
Shislif: so do we tell this goddess her avatar is two timing her?
BOB grins at TMO I could.... but I promise this is the last one I will use right now
Lemon: Or is the goddess also not real?
Carissa: my confusion is still, which one was fake? the avatar seemed fishiest, but the goddess is the one who sent us after the chain and lied about it
BOB and Lemon Lorie and Sharif are on the right track
BOB DId she lie Carissa?
Lemon: Is it a spider goddess and her minion in disguise?
Lemon: Can the elves like, pray to find out or something?
Carissa: well, fair, maybe it can also control giants so maybe we just don't know the whole truth
Lorie (Licornah(): Likely the avatar is working at the behest of Lloth
Shislif: we should probably come back with her goods, proving we're not thieves, and then tell on the avatar
Lemon: So maybe the avatar is holding the goddess prisoner or tricking her or something, and the goddess wants the chain to help her get rid of the bad guys?
BOB The question I would pose to you is: How can an Avatar of a goddess lose a cloak and not know where it is
TMO: very absent-minded?
Shislif: Does this avatar like to party?
Lorie: The avatar of Lloth likes to kill mostly
Lorie: and take revenge
BOB and how do you feel about where you were lead to?
Shislif: hmmm, so probably happened while does what it does most of the time
Lemon: So also did it really want this chain, or did it just want to send us to die?
Carissa: The question is: how can the goddess not know that? or is she aware and making us rat out her avatar? :P
Shislif: this place could have killed us! But I'm glad cause it set me free
Lorie: The chain has value to Lloth and / or Avatar
Spring: so essentially, we got sucked into some other folks' interpersonal drama?
BOB Love you Spring
Lisa: that's never happened before! :D
Spring: i mean cuz that's what it sounds like
BOB grins with Lisa
Lisa: yes
Lorie: very likely the actual Deity doesn't want this chain to do anything other than destroy it
Spring: love you too BOB
Lemon: Keep your lovers quarrels in your own plane, GOD
Lorie: which requires good magic
Lemon: or GODDESS i guess
BOB DId you get your gift Spring?
Spring: oh! my dad says i did. i didnt get to my dad's house as soon as i had hoped to
Lemon: How can we find out?
BOB Good
Spring: he thought it was a car part
Spring: because it was heavy
Lorie: We'd have to detect / know alignment
BOB I was disapointed that Lisa has to pay COD for hers
Spring: oh noes!!!
Lorie: which around a deity is not a good idea usually
Lisa: do the priests have alignment spells or things like that?
Lorie: they tend to get offended
Carissa: Rae does
Lemon: I think I have one?
Lemon: I think in klooge it was one, and in FG it's two. Or the other way around
Lorie: (detect at lower level; know at higher)
Lemon: Like "detect alignment" turned into "detect good" and "detect evil" or vice versa
Carissa: oh well the gnome can do it since she doesn't have to be as all believing in the elven god/desses
BOB So at this point you have the Chain.... and you are in agreement that you do not know who it actually belongs to or who to give it to
Lisa: just tossing thoughts out to see if who maight be not who they say they are
BOB but the first problem is how to get out of here and back to the glen where the Goddess is
Shislif: and what are we gonna do with the dwarves?
Lisa: and all the non-elves will likely get zapped again when we return making this an elf only confrontation
Lemon: I mean, I feel like we need a plan before we get back, in case she's a terrible monster in disguise
BOB yes to all of above
BOB brb
BOB refilling and emptying
Lisa: once we get out of this giant place we can either let them go or take them with us
Carissa: just don't want to choose wrong
Carissa: my nap failed so my ability to think well right now isn't great as per most nights past 10 PM
Lemon: Look, I'm going to be really honest with y'all right now
Lemon: I don't care if Bixi dies. If her succesful botany was the last thing she ever does, I'm good with that.
Shislif: go for it
Lorie: I don't think this is a TPK situation
Shislif: Is Bixi an npc?
Lorie: I think this is the avatar wants us to do her dirty work
Lisa: so you want to go on a suicide mission?
Lemon: No, Bixi is my character
Shislif: oh ok lol
Lisa: we're not there yet
Lemon: I don't like, WANT to, but if the situation requires a sacrifice, or someone to stand up to a dangerous fake goddess... I can handle it
Shislif: big balls bixi!
Lemon: Bixi will get up in her face and be like "HOW DARE YOU!?"
Lisa: but remember when we saw them last time they cast and everyone that was not an elf got frozen
Shislif: lol
Lemon: Ok but the point is
Lemon: my botany won the day
Lisa: so it is the three elves that have to get a plan together or give us lowly people a way to resist
Lemon: BOTANY SAVED US ALL
BOB back
Lorie: Dark elves don't like other elves generally speaking, so we're not going to gain brownie points
Shislif: yay!
Lisa: I was wondering after that about Branwyn - sh wears that anti-mind control/charm ring
Carissa: Seriously, I don't know the plan or a plan.
Carissa: Yeah but against a goddess' magic not sure that matters
Shislif: so we can just teleport out of here now that we have the chain?
Lemon: But we're pretty sure at least one of them is bad, yes?
BOB and LOVES Lemon for that but yes to the Elves needing to know what the group wants because it is very unlikly the rest can communicate with the goddesses
BOB but before you get to confront them you still need to get out of here
BOB so two problems in front of you
Lisa: as far as how we get out, I am liking investigating those back stairs
Carissa: same and hope it leads to a back door
Lemon: I legitimately thought we had a way to get back to that cave
TMO: as needed, Craigh has 2 Dimension Door scrolls
BOB you walked to the steading from the cave
Lisa: I am not liking going past the kitchen and hall since they were calling downstairs for lunch
Lemon: Yeah, but I thought we had some kind of teleport back to the cave
Lisa: no
Carissa: we'll likely have to leave the gold as they'll be coming downstairs, and this room we know isn't safe now
BOB That is fake news
Carissa: but also, why do the giants have this chain??
Lemon: hmm
Lisa: they gave us paint so we could hide in a cave but not get to the cave
Lemon: The dimension door doesn't do it?
Lisa: we have some dimension door spells
Carissa: if we can all fit weight wise
Lisa: not sure we have enough now that we picked up 7 dwarves and a prisoner on top of all of us
Lemon: And all that gold
BOB hard choices ahead
Carissa: I didn't want to say that out loud with hopes Bob would forget ;)
Lemon: Do we have to take the dwarves? We freed them, isn't that enough
Lisa: lol
Lisa: and left them in a giant fortress that enslaved them?
Lorie: (what kind of dwarves are they again?)
Lemon: Do you think the dwarves would save US over a pile of treasure?
Lisa: sometimes you are a cold woman Lemon :)
TMO: dump the gold in the room scroll?
Lisa: we can't until tomorrow
Carissa: (we opened it, probably when you were gone)
Lisa: didn't think we would find another 13K after the first 14K
Lisa: we don't usually find that much gold all over the place!
BOB Carissa I think that Lisa has another quote for you there with Lemon
Carissa: yup
Carissa: how heavy is 13k gold?
BOB for Lorie they are Hill Dwarves
Lisa: 3 chests worth I think
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Coins">(LINK)</a>
Lisa: 14 K went into 3 chests
Carissa: depending how much we want the gold, we can as a group try the stairs for escape, and then whoever wants to dimension door back get the gold?
Lisa: we haven't opened the other boxes and chests yet did we?
BOB .02 pounds per coin times 13,000 coins
Carissa: nope!
BOB no to Lisa
Lisa: Bob had the first thing opened as the jackpot
Carissa: let's do that why the elves mull over things (try to figure out wtf to do)
Lisa: could be nice small things in them
BOB a quiver of 11 +2 magic arrows, a +3 magic spear, and 2 flaming swords
Carissa: 260 lbs for the gold
Carissa: Ooooh more flaming swords!
Carissa: but still no magic bow, come onnnn
Lisa: nice
Lemon: Could we sleep in the cave, then have one person dimension door back in, room scroll the rest of the gold, then dimension door back out?
TMO: obv items over gold
Lisa: no magic short sword
BOB Large Chest : 23,840 g.p. Iron Box : locked, 4,139 p.p. Small Coffer : 41 100 g.p. gems, 13 500 g.p. gems, and 8 1,000 g.p. gems. Small Coffer : 17 pieces of 500 g.p. jewelry (no gems)
Spring: a spear was in a chest? it must be the kind that comes apart for storage
Lisa: we never find magic short swords
Spring: like a 3-piece tent pole
Carissa: Bob, can we trade one flaming sword for a short one and the other flaming sword for a magic bow? Please and thank you! :)
Carissa: (maybe if we ask nicely...)
Lisa: lol
Lisa: ohh the iron box with the platinum works
BOB LOL
Lisa: and is much lighter
BOB sorry the Giants choose not to exchange your items for you
Carissa: If we give them Yout, will that change their minds? That's two weapons AND a sacrific in return for two different weapons!
Lisa: I'd be good with leaving the other gold and taking in gems and the platinum
Lemon: Can I leave my garbage spear behind and trade it for the new one? Unless someone else needs a spear? Or unless mine isn't garbage? Or unless I'm remembering wrong and I didn't actually ever try to stab something with a spear?
Carissa: Works for me
Lisa: and the jewelry
Carissa: Yours isn't, I don't believe. I think it came from party pack so we can return to park pack later
TMO: craigh is carrying a magic spear too
Carissa: Well the +2 arrows are nice, at least, if limited.
Lisa: are the spears gnome sized?
BOB no
Lemon: Craigh might need it more than Bixi. Bixi at least has two hands
BOB giant
Carissa: LOL
Lisa: If Bixi has a gnome spear a giant spear won't work
Lemon: well that's disappointing
Lemon: This is now how weapons work in video game RPGs
Lisa: Indigo has the problem all the time
Lisa: all armor is human sized etc
BOB and Sharif is sitting there wondering just what the heck you are doing if you are discarding these items
Lemon: That's pretty dumb. Can we go somewhere gnome sized for the next adventure please?
BOB LOL
Lorie: (there are dark gnomes we could visit if we have to go see Lloth)
Shislif: 2nd gnome sized adventures :)
Carissa: No thank you. You remember birthday game cave where we all had to bend down to move???
BOB Lisa can tell you how much fun adventures are in places that are only 4 foot tall
Lemon: Lol, you say that now, but you'll have to crawl in all the buildings. Your knees will be destroyed by the end of it
Lemon: there will be magical surgeries, etc. etc.
Lorie: No, sorry, don't remember that
BOB See Lemon know
Lemon: You'll never be the same
Lisa: lol
Shislif: lol
Lemon: Lol, everything at school is sized for three year olds. I completely understand
Carissa: Sorry Lorie. It was this past year. Lemon was there for that one, but not you yet :)
BOB grins LOVE Lemon
Lorie: I haven't been able to make an anniversary game in several years due to band festivals for my girls
Carissa: At this point just an adventure NOT underground would be nice
BOB By the way Sharif, every year we have a Birthday Game where we play from Noon until Midnight
Carissa: And unfortunately I think Hell still qualifies as underground
BOB On a Saturday after our normal game on Friday
Lorie: (it's BOB's birthday) :)
Shislif: ohhh awesome
BOB You will make this this year Lorie!
Lisa: that would be 9 am to 9 pm for us west coasters
Lisa: breakfast D&D
Lemon: How about something involving rainbows and unicorns and marshmallows?
Lemon: I could go for that kind of adventure
Shislif: lol nice
BOB Breakfast with BOB for the West Coasters
Lemon: And lots of plants
Lorie: Well ... come on over to Silvermoon, lots of all those
Spring: we are conflating two special games
Lorie: Lloth is the downside of that
Lemon: VIVA LA BOTANY
Spring: the anniversary game is in the summer
Spring: BOB's birthday game is in September
Lorie: you don't play it on BOB's birthday anymore???
Lisa: September around Bob's birthday
BOB Yes Birthday game is in September
Spring: but the anniversary game is like, i wanna say June?
BOB and then the 30th anniversary game will be next year.... WOW.... in May/June
Lemon: Dang, that's coming up fast. What happened to this year?
Lisa: next year already?
Lorie: I'll try and juggle the girls' schedule
Lemon: How long have I been here?
BOB 2023
Carissa: lies and slander
Spring: wow that IS fast!
BOB Everyone will be at the house I hope
BOB Sharif, save your vacation
Lemon: I can not take time off unless school is on vacation
Shislif: lol you may need to catch me up
Lemon: But I get two weeks in June
Lisa: June is good
BOB BUT back to boring things like goddesses with lying avatars and a chain you have to still pick up and how to get out
Shislif: lol
Lemon: Well it's clearly too heavy for Bixi so y'all on your own
Shislif: is my guy strong enough to carry it?
Lisa: it's in a box right? we don't have to take it out of the box
BOB up to you
Spring: once the box has cooled off
Lisa: no one has to touch it and get teleported to chaos and make us save you
Lemon: Can we invisible the box so that the tricksy avatar doesn't know we have it at first when we go back? Just in case?
Lisa: except Lemon who would leave you to your fate :)
BOB LOL
Lemon: I mean...
Lemon: my botany just saved us all, I don't care about anything else
Lisa: lol
BOB L O L
Lemon: Plus I solved someone's allergies with it. Craigh maybe?
Shislif: botany for the win
Lemon: Shislif gets it.
BOB You can definately pick up the chest
BOB but you do need to decide where to go, etc
Shislif: Like that Strange Horticulture game, haven't played it but seems cool
Lisa: I have that - haven't played yet
BOB Farmville? ;P
Shislif: I gather it's up to the elves to the decide?
Lemon: I mean... we either need to confront this lady, or try to find the real one first, right? Or just like steal it
Shislif: supposed to be good
Carissa: Sorry cat. Decide what?
Lisa: so choices are back out the way we came or try this back way and see where it goes
Carissa: Back way for that decision
Lemon: Oh, good point. I guess the discussion on what to do can happen back at the cave?
Lemon: I also vote back way
TMO: back way
Lemon: I'd rather be in a cave than in a giant fortress
Shislif: back way best way
Lisa: nice easy decision
BOB Who is going up the stairs first?
Lisa: back in IC
Lorie: someone who can do the scooby sneak
Carissa: do we figure out who is carrying what?
Lemon: Also, for the record, I just want to say that it's ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS if there are giants up eating lunch if they just got done partying like 5 hours ago. No way.
Lisa (Indigo): looks at sneaky types
Shislif: I lol
Shislif: I can try my shadows thing, but I failed last time
BOB for the record for Lemon they were calling down to those who were working this morning to get their lunches not those who were partying
Shislif: And the record is set!
BOB Remember you killed the poor giant assigned to mining duty
Lisa (Indigo): there are a few of you who can lead. just go slowly and not burst in like in the fire giant room
TMO: that poor giant....
Shislif: lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well he shouldn't have been in a culture that eats people
Shislif: okey doke
Lisa (Indigo): he hit us when we said hello
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
Lisa (Indigo): N'laea said hello and he threw a boulder at her
BOB so Zay and Lanek leading?
Shislif: sounds good everybody knows Z goes first
Shislif: Oh how do I get back in character?
Lisa (Indigo): N'laea and Craigh next?
Lorie (Licornah(): records --> Characters -- click on yours
Carissa: (Sorry cat again, sure whichever)
TMO: do it
Carissa: guessing we got items sorted then
Shislif (Zayden): thx
Lanek: harrumph
Lisa (Indigo): did they disappear off the map?
Lanek: are you committee members ready to get out of here or do we need to take a vote?
TMO (Craigh): nt sure where my icon went
Zayden: I'd like a vote
Lanek: did you make sure to get the minutes, eh?
Zayden smirks
Shislif (Zayden): where's my guy?
User is back. (Lemon)
BOB Sigh I think you are seeing more of the map that you should
BOB but
Image: G1-3_M1PL
Zayden: No worries I didn't notice lol
Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... are we taking any of this with us?
TMO (Craigh): I'm seeing the current map only
Bixi Fizzlebang: Who's going to carry it all? Talwin is off pooping again...
Zayden: Guy's gotta take it easy with the prune juice
Indigo: Yes we're taking all the small boxes
Bixi Fizzlebang: Or the cheese
BOB So Zay, Lanke, Craigh, and N'laea are on the new map
Spring (Lanek): i also don't see Lanek's avatar anywhere
BOB Spring on the new map
Shislif (Zayden): should i exit and come back into the game?
Spring (Lanek): oh, looking for new map .....
Lisa (Indigo): how far behnd do you want the rest of us to be?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): All I see is the stairwell and like 4 squares on the new map
Zayden: A lot of the grey spaces are revealed for me
Carissa (N'laea): (won't open the new map for me)
TMO (Craigh): same here
Shislif (Zayden): sorry
In the northwest corner of the room are a pile of logs. There are a set of stairs going down.
Lisa (Indigo): at least have us all at the bottom of the stairs so they can trample us if they have to retreat
Carissa (N'laea): (okay had to click your link to map)
Image: G1-3_M1PL
Spring (Lanek): thanks
Carissa (N'laea): going *down*??
BOB up
Zayden: ok got it
Carissa (N'laea): (whew)
BOB Zay is in that room
