BOB How is the evening for you both?
Lorie: Alas, my are of PA requires a canoe to navigate
Lorie: so no Lacrosse
BOB ouch
Lorie: and we'll probably need that same canoe to get to commencement for KID tomorrow LOL
Lorie: too much rain this month already
Lisa: sorry wish you could magically send it to me
Lorie: I would happily
BOB I am supposed to drive to Orlando tomorrow morning at 4 AM to be there for an 8 AM graduation
Lisa: cutting it a bit close aren't you?
Lorie: ahhh yours is earlier... the doors open at 8 for us and starts a bit later
Lorie: :: laughs ::
BOB grins
Lorie: Nah, he'll have plenty of time
BOB it takes 3 to 3.5 hours to drive there, so I shoudl get into the parking lot in time
BOB and she is a Vetere so end of the line
Lisa: that is saying that he will be out the door at 4
Lisa: lol
Lorie: :: laughs :: She's important
BOB grins
Lorie: I can't believe she's graduating too
Lorie: and the twins and Alyssa
Lorie: too many graduations
BOB After Loren then only John's two kids left to graduate college
Lorie: Sage?
BOB He is not in college that I think
BOB Just working
Lorie: gotcha
Lorie: Hard to believe time has gone that fast
BOB yeap
Lorie: Of course, I am stuck on KID graduating
BOB So Lorie do you have anything that you need for Licornah? things to need after you return home so we can plot out what you should be looking for?
BOB plus I hope you have fun with making up a story for the feast with the elves before going home
BOB to expound on what you did to recover the chain
Lorie: Ummm... She probably needs to consider long-term housing and good deeds to help others
Lorie: I'm happy to chair the down with Lloth committee
BOB grins
Image: Inn of the lost eagle
Image: Craniate Wastes
BOB Those shoudl both be public shares now
BOB so you can see them and open them anytime you want
BOB Lisa can you open Branyn please
Branwyn: ok
BOB So Branwyn / Lisa shoudl see the manor house but Lorie should not
Lisa (Branwyn): yes the house without furniture
BOB Lorie can you see the map Manor House?
Lorie: I see the icky fog map
Lorie: and a roof vie of a house
Lorie: view
BOB good
BOB so Lisa can see all three maps, but Lorie can only see two of them
BOB learning how to share things
BOB so that I can have an image of a scene and share it with a charater or two but not everyone can see it
BOB and you have to describe it to them
BOB also Records -> Images and the drop down shoudl have Dragon Fen on it for you
BOB and there should also be a Craniate Wastes on that drop down
BOB There will be new ones appearing there as we move forward
BOB And on the Combat Tracker I added the Combat and Tactics Intitative so peopel are moving as Very Fast, Slow, Very Slow etc
BOB not sure we want to keep that
BOB I think people will like the numbers better
'Lemon' connected
GM: also Records -> Images and the drop down shoudl have Dragon Fen on it for you
BOB Hello Lemon
Lorie: Evening Lemon
'Carissa' connected
BOB Hello Carssa
BOB Carissa even
Lorie: Howdy Carissa - before you go AFK :)
Lemon: hello all!
Branwyn: Hi Lemon and Carissa!
Image: Inn of the lost eagle
Image: Manor House
BOB and when you load Bixi Lemon I have another to share with you
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I am here!
BOB very glad
BOB So Lemon you see the two maps that I shared there, the Inn and Manor House
BOB and you should see one more that no one else can
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh, why do I get to see that one?
BOB to test my ability to share things
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, well I do indeed see one more.
BOB You see all three?
BOB good
BOB so when you go to Records -> Images
BOB you have a drop down
BOB can you choose Dragon Fen off of that drop down?
Bixi Fizzlebang: i can not
BOB OK
BOB so niether you or Lisa can
BOB so that makes it different from Me
BOB I was hoping you could categorize your list
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, things are disappearing
BOB Now your list should NOT include anything from the Giants
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I watched it happen in real time lol
BOB smiles
'TMO' connected
BOB So we know I can share with individual players certain images, so you would have to describe them to other players, what you see
BOB but you cannot sort your images into categories
BOB Hello TMO
Lorie: Evening TMO
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I guess not? I wouldn't know how to, so I'm not sure how to answer that
Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello TMO!
Lisa: Hi TMO!
BOB You would have a drop down for Dragon Fen if you could Lemon
BOB two players have confirmed that now so
Lisa: If you not want to see the 3 pages of illustrations from the books you can choose Uncategorized at the top of the images tab and only see the BOB maps
BOB I am thinking of places you will visit with lots of maps, your list will grow long
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ah, nope. I also don't see three pages of illustrations
BOB THAT is interesting Lisa
Lisa: I wish we could get rid of all that book image stuff
BOB and yes more for Lemon
BOB I know why after a thought, Lisa has loaded all the books, Lemon has not
Lisa: ahh
BOB HAH typed that without seeing Lisa's comment
BOB I can make the image in the books non-public
BOB Can put that on my to do list
Lisa: not a big deal now that I found the Group thing can filter all those out
BOB OK so we are about to start your rest before the Feast with the goddesses
BOB excellent Lisa
BOB Restroom for me while you determine what you will ask for as a boon and how long you want to stay here to celebrate your victories
BOB brb
BOB back
Lisa: I'm not asking for anything material for my characters specifically. If Branwyn had to say something specific to her she would just ask if they had any advice for a hell trip
BOB and interesting Lisa that you cannot pick Dragon Fen off the list do / Did you see any other options for categories?
Lisa: omg - still with the maps?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I think Bixi is going to politely request either botany knowledge or a plant to take back with her from the elflands. But I definitely think we should wait for Carissa before we start, since her elves missed the big elf thing last time
BOB Ok so on the list of potential asks is Advice on Hell Trip
BOB Yes to Lemon for Carissa but want to make sure everyone else gets their questions in
Lisa: the groups are All, Uncategorized and then each book listed out one by one
TMO: I think I'm finally in
BOB thank you Lisa, is weird you do not see Dragon Fen I have had that as a category for a long time
BOB and Hello again TMO
Lorie: Evening TMO
Lisa: Hi TMO :)
TMO: hi y'all! your greetings were hidden behind the file load spam
BOB Also Lisa and everyone Images is not only maps but any image I share, so a view of a trap, a room, etc.
Lisa: It must not be shared because I sent you that pic of all the maps I have of yours
TMO: I have 7 uncategorized images
BOB So when Craigh is there in the hallway and I share an image of the idol to him, TMO will have to explain what he sees, and the rest of the group will just have to run away from the boulder coming at you with no explination
BOB grins
TMO: oh boy...
BOB Learning things all the time :)
BOB So Lisa and Lemon have spoken up about their potential Boons
BOB TMO and Lorie
BOB and Carissa it lurking
BOB is
TMO: what has been requested so far?
Lisa: hell advice
Bixi Fizzlebang: botany knowledge
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
BOB Hoping that Carissa is back soon
TMO: wow... no idea what Craigh would ask for
BOB chuckles
TMO: there is the obvious, of course
Carissa: Yep. I'm here now. Just needed to reply to a message. I'll have to do work stuff briefly at some point, but here atm.
BOB no matter what you will be home in Dragon Fen by the end of the session
BOB you can later on Carissa, we only have two more hours here
BOB what do your two characters wish as a Boon?
BOB and TMO ask away.....
BOB then we will roleplay out the feast
Lisa: arm?
Carissa: lol can't but I can wait half hour to do it
BOB Sure you can Carissa, you have more important things to deal with your Goddess is waiting on you
Lisa: definitely carissa and Lorie first anyway
BOB agree
Carissa: If it was individual boons, best I came up with was fancy bow for N'laea and, I dunno for Rae. A blessing of some sort for their journey? I wish I had time to think on that, but I really just... didn't
Carissa: A ring of beauty? That a thing? lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I never stopped to consider the limitations of reality and neither should you
Carissa: Oh no, I shouldn't, but I don't have the brain power to consider more
Lisa: does she need one?
Lisa: thought she was already that basically :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Look the goddess is being played by BOB. She's not going to give us what we actually want anyway, so reach for the stars and hope for the moon.
Carissa: Nah, not really. She's got a nice cloak, doesn't really use a weapon, so I drew a blank on her. She has room for a ring of some sort, but no idea what a useful one or other idea could be
Carissa: there's two moons in this world so... both moons?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): sorry, hope for "a" moon
Carissa: Actually maybe N'laea needs Elven armor.... ugh, I don't know
BOB grins
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): can you ask for a guaranteed slot at the table after you die or whatever?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Idk how elf death works
Carissa: If it was a group boon, yes I was thinking they'd ask for blessing on their souls or something
Carissa: But individual, at least I have a wishlist for N'laea. Nice armor, fancy bow, cool cloak...
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, that's fine, if the elves decide on a group boon, Bixi is not going to speak out and try to get something for herself. This is elf stuff.
Lisa: yes
BOB It is up to Carissa and Lorie you both have the three elves and get the most say
BOB giving 2 more minutes then we move into the Feast
Carissa: Rae is pretty set, though. She won't ask for love because her Goddess is suppose to reward her follows with it. She's not really combat so doesn't need much. She might want answers about her elven side of the family but that is RP stuff which I'm not sure I'm ready for
BOB a scroll of answers
Carissa: So she might take the Bran route and ask for the Goddess of Journeys to bless their journey to hell
Carissa: Hmm, that could maybe work, and then force you to give some of those RP points later...
BOB Trying to give Michael a chance to log in and add his thoughts
Lisa: like Jeopardy?
BOB but getting deeper into the night
Carissa: lol kinda
BOB Your group is in the Elf Lands, you are in the forest glen and you feel light, happy and whole
Carissa: RP for me is fun when other people give me things to work off. I have vague ideas to develop, but someone else telling me what her elven side of the family is like is more fun to me to come up with replies/responses to
Carissa: no, I'm pretty sur eI don't.... :P
BOB Everyone is full healed with full spells, even though it is half way through the day
Lisa: chain is gone
Lisa: everything is right with the world
BOB Yes
BOB and we begin
Lisa: avatar is nice
Liliafane: Hello
Liliafane: You have been full of surprises
Liliafane: I did not think you were going to be such heroes when I welcomed you
Carissa: (oooh she has a portrait now)
N'laea: We were only returning what was not ours and doing as we were bid to do.
Liliafane: How did you overcome such odds to be welcomed to our feast?
Liliafane: I see
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): how did YOU lose a cape to a manticore???
Carissa (N'laea): (protector, not the avatar)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh
Liliafane: Why would you not seize what you had and go forth to conjour more of the worlds?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was being snarky anyway
Carissa (N'laea): (lol)
Liliafane: You have real power in your hands
N'laea: For what purpose?
Carissa (N'laea): (lolth person??)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's how I deal with the kids now when they give me sass. I sass them right back lol
Liliafane: You could have chosen to do so many things
N'laea: You seem to have ideas of your own.
BOB Everyone is hearing this and everyone can respond, you are not daxxled
BOB dazzled
Carissa (N'laea): (daxxled sounds painful)
Branwyn: We do try to do the right thing
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, I was just thinking it was nice to have a new word for frozen in time
Liliafane: What did you think the right thing was?
N'laea: To protect these lands and return what was not ours. Would you not agree?
Bixi Fizzlebang: muttering very quietly to herself Returning the cloak, and helping the goddess. Obviously.
Liliafane: I agree, but I also see that siezing power and defeating all enemies is a worthwhile quest
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): These elves and their elf questions, am I right?
Craigh is quietly looking over the goddess and the avatar from the sidelines.
N'laea: And who do you count as your enemies?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): protector seems sketchy
Liliafane: Why shoudl she allow the Giants to linger on the edges of our lands?
Liliafane: Why not crush them ?
N'laea: Has she stated that she will? Or are you simply guessing her plans?
Liliafane: She did not have you remove them
N'laea: She did not ask us to remove them.
Liliafane: you only stole in and brought back a chain
N'laea: You were watching and listening to our conversation?
Liliafane: They seem overjoyed at that
Liliafane: Of course!
Liliafane: That is what I do
Indigo: We removed some of the giants!
N'laea: She did not allow all to do it.
Bixi Fizzlebang: still muttering quietly: I don't think our small group could have gotten rid of all the giants
Liliafane: nods to Indigo, a great warrior in a small body
Indigo: smiles
N'laea: Perhaps, in the end, she's saving the giants for you.
N'laea: I hope you are as good of a shot.
Liliafane: If I am given the forces to smash them I will
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): hahaha niiiiiice
N'laea: And we killed many without that force.
Liliafane: I can only watch and do as I am bid
Liliafane: You are heroes and acted freely
'Michael' connected
BOB Hello Michael
Lorie: :: studies Lilafane quietly ::
Lorie: (Evening Michael
TMO (Craigh): Hi
Lisa (Indigo): Hi Michael!
N'laea: And we did what we decided was best for all.
Liliafane: Elves, Gnomes, Hin, and Humans working together in strange
N'laea: I agree.
Liliafane: Why not work for the best for the Elves?
N'laea: I do. I work for Rillifane.
Liliafane: Yet you say you worked for the best for all, not the best for elves
N'laea: And he does not act rash nor turn against alliances. If he did, he could not protect us as well as he does.
Liliafane: Warm Smile, so you have learned
Liliafane: Everyone is of value
N'laea: Yes, in their different ways. I may not understand nor agree with their ways, but I am learning.
Liliafane: Looks at Licornah, Do you think that all creatures have value?
Licornah: :: looks at her and thinks :: Of course. You know that the good of all elves requires cooperation from all the other races. We can't always do it alone.
Liliafane: What value to the Drow bring to the world?
Liliafane: (grins waiting)
Licornah: Lloth gives them a cause worth fighting for. There is balance because of their cause
Liliafane: Nods
Licornah: It's not my cause... but their cause nontheless
Liliafane: There is no shadow without a light
Liliafane: If we shine brighter, it reduces their shadow to a sliver
Liliafane: Looks over at the humans,
Liliafane: Branwyn, Craigh, Zayden, Youtargim, Tiberius
Liliafane: What have you learned here on your journey?
Craigh starts slightly, surprised at being addressed.
Tiberius Branadarus: I remembered that I love my wife and adventuring with er
Tiberius Branadarus: her
Youtargim: I am not really sure, I think that I have found that a group that supports you is more important than leading a group that does not
Liliafane: Smiles at Tiberius, Love is a many faceted thing
Liliafane: Looks at Youtargim, Perhaps you need to learn to be a part rather than a whole
Liliafane: Looks at Branwyn
Branwyn: Hmmm ...
Branwyn: hard for her to say
BOB Michael are you good and caught up?
Branwyn: Perhaps I have been ... let us say ... hasty
Branwyn: when it comes to judging on powers of gods and goddesses
Michael (Talwin): I mean...I'm here. I wouldn't say I'm all-knowing or anything :)
Branwyn: Perhaps I need to reconsider a bit
Liliafane: Goddesses are not all knowing
Liliafane: but they are oh so powerful
Liliafane: and very touchy
Liliafane: Smiles at Talwin
Branwyn: smiles slightly
Liliafane: do not think that I have ignored you warrior with the sword of the giants
Liliafane: Nor you small gnome hiding in the corner
Talwin: Grunts
Liliafane: you cannot escape notice there
Liliafane: What has our little gnome learned?
Liliafane: that our human has not?
Liliafane: Or perhaps our Warrior human has learned something that gnome, hin, and Elf can achieve?
Michael (Talwin): Nope not a thing
Michael (Talwin): Love, teamwork?
Michael (Talwin): Those work?
Lisa (Branwyn): have to IC and find out :P
Liliafane: Eyes glance over to Craigh still deep in thought
Michael (Talwin): I'm reading on sight right now cause I got no idea wut's going on
Lisa (Branwyn): she just asked what we learned on this quest
Bixi Fizzlebang: I've learned that size doesn't matter, if you know enough about deadly yellow mold!
Craigh: smiles and bows. "Even goddesses are even more beautiful than elves?"
TMO (Craigh): *Elven
Michael (Talwin): I read "The Next story arc starts with Branswny and Talwin" and that's about where I start to get concerned.............
Liliafane: Warm smile for Craigh, flattery will get you a warm soft bed and a very happy companion
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ew
Michael (Talwin): ew
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is she trying to hook up with Craigh?
Craigh: Is it flattery if it's true though?
Lisa (Branwyn): thought is was more vice versa
Liliafane: Smiles at Bixi you are very much in tune with the natural world
Liliafane: Looking at Craigh, It is true that Elven beauty is sought after by many, but few manage to enjoy it
Liliafane: with a quick side glance to Youtargim
Liliafane: Talwin the Master of the Blade you are noticably reticent
Talwin: My mind wonders beyond into other realms where I seek mental guidance on what I shall say
Michael (Talwin): Still reading
Liliafane: Looks at the three Elves
Michael (Talwin): Tranlsation stuff is hard for me on the site
Liliafane: What say you on the merits of this Human
BOB Note for Rae that she is counting you as an Elf,
Lisa (Branwyn): yay
Tiberius Branadarus: Love are you happy with this outcome? do you think we should be asking for something for? I am not sure what or who to ask about?
Branwyn: I am happy to hear you say you love me. Should I have been worried?
Tiberius Branadarus: LOL
Tiberius Branadarus: HUGS Branwyn and Kisses her hard
Michael (Talwin): OK. I'm up to what last week was, but have no idea who this liliafane is?
Carissa (N'laea): Ishe's noticed this entire trip)
Michael (Talwin): I can only see chat to where I joined
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): gross, pda
Tiberius Branadarus: You are making me so very happy
N'laea: The merits of Craigh?
Liliafane: warm smiles at Tiberius and Branwyn
Carissa (Raelynn): (sorry wrong elfd)
Raelynn: The merits of Craigh?
Michael (Talwin): Ah ok. Some searchign on site helped
Branwyn: throws her arms around her husband, 'Thank you'
Liliafane: The Merits of Criagh and Talwin
Liliafane: they both seem to be hesitant to embrace their potential
Talwin: I have few. I serve my master and hope I do a good enough job to keep her....mostly happy
Liliafane: They both have desires
Raelynn: Well they certainly seem to try their best.
Liliafane: Yet to not express them when given the chance
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Tell her we want a chance to help her be rid of the giants forever
Liliafane: Serving a higher goal is admiralble Talwin but what goals do you seek?
BOB See Lemon needs more artifacts to inhabit
Carissa (N'laea): (lmao)
N'laea: (something I'm guessing I'll read in chat)
BOB Yes you will
Talwin: Well, swinging this larger sword would be nice so that I could actually hit my target. Grins wryly. However, (ALSO LOL BOB AND LEMON) I need to finish mastering my own. Although....Ponders Sword...It would probably be easier if it could just change homes I suppose.
Talwin: I seek to master my craft. I have very few goals beyond that
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Think of what we could do, if we were able to work together more efficiently! Help the elves, yes, but so much more...
Liliafane: Looks to Craigh
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): oops forgot the whisper lol
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Look, I don't want my second character ever to get destroyed ok?
Talwin: Just so you know Lemon, I want to whisper, but I can't, because everytime I try, I fudge up the name and have to start over. And then I just say eff it
Michael (Talwin): Sorry
BOB Think of what we could do ...... Together.... Unlimited... together we could be unlimited... together we could be the greatest team that has ever been.... Glinda...
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Lol, it's impossible to whisper to giant sword anyway, he has an impossible name to type
Michael (Talwin): right lol
Craigh: chuckles. "If we're still on what I've learned, I've learned that giants are slightly above my pay grade. If we're on what I would like, it could be several things. How high should I aim for?"
Liliafane: Smiles at Criagh, if you aim for the Moons you might end up in the stars
Michael (Talwin): Get out of here with that cat poster crap
Michael (Talwin): lol
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Hahahahahah!
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Hang in there!
Carissa (N'laea): (WOW did she just steal that from you Lemon??)
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Um, yes, AND she got it wrong
Carissa (N'laea): (well she didn' credit you so at least it only looks bad for her)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, true. OR she promised us BETTER rewards than we are asking for, which would be fine
Lisa (Branwyn): you'll never know until you ask
TMO (Craigh): (sry, trying to come up with a way to say it IC)
Michael (Talwin): Despite my best efforts, i'm not imagining a whole bunch of those motivational posters now. Dammit bob. lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Look, I'm just saying, Michael, if you want to ask to keep my second ever character usable, then I'm certainly ok with that.
BOB SO to this point Talwin has said a bit of a boon and Craigh has bowed to her beauty
Michael (Talwin): (I'm terrified of insulting here is my issue. I'm trying to think of how to ask)
Michael (Talwin): *her
BOB and in about 10 minutes we move to the Feast
Lisa (Branwyn): she's been very nice - worst thing she will say is no
Michael (Talwin): I mean, if you want bluntness, I can do what I'm best at
BOB Where you will be asking for real from the goddess
Michael (Talwin): Sigh. Of course, because we wouldn't we be
BOB and you will be telling the story of your quest
BOB that story will guide the level of reward to your requests
TMO (Craigh): ok, so not boon-asking yet.
Lisa (Branwyn): in other words - make it good
Branwyn: if you make it sound easy - why should she give a big reward?
N'laea: between Rae being talkative and Craigh's acting, we got this team
Lisa (Branwyn): sorry ooc
BOB so Carissa, Lorie, etc. will need to carry forth with fun tales
Carissa (N'laea): (ugh hard to OOC on laptop)
Michael (Talwin): I basically died? Does that count?
Lisa (Branwyn): no until you hit negs you did not basically die
BOB and 7 mijnutes at 9 we start the feast with your stories
BOB brb refilling
Talwin: No, that's literally. Basically means pretty close
Michael (Talwin): Trying to word this, no idea how it will play off. I'm writing in a word doc
Lisa (Branwyn): Talwin can get in line but feel free to share that :D
Michael (Talwin): LOL. I will regail the goddess
Carissa (N'laea): not too worried about making it a good story, but definitely good to have many perspectives
BOB back
BOB Giving Lorie and Carissa first chances at the story and then as Carissa say adding perspectives with the others
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Are we all telling the story or are we choosing an elected representative or waht?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ah
BOB Licornah and N'laea and Rae will start for you
BOB then you will all be expected to add in your comments
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Play up my saving us with the yellow mold please. I want them to be impressed enough with my botany knowledge that they will thing it's worthwhile to give me more
BOB and then at the end the quality of the story will be weighted for the benefit you earn
Carissa (N'laea): oh no worries, will play up everyone except debating Yogurt ;P
BOB 2 minutes till
BOB LOL
BOB You will have a half hour
BOB max
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): what's with the ironclad time limits today?
TMO (Craigh): Bob has an early night
BOB I want to give everyone a chance
Lisa (Indigo): game ending in an hour
BOB we end at 10 tonight
Carissa (N'laea): (Bob has a life even though we're not allowed ot have one ourselves)
BOB and this is the last session for this story arc
BOB I am driving to Orlando in 7 hours from now
BOB to be at a graduation
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): OR we could just continue the feast for like 3 weeks
BOB and so we begin
Lorie (Licornah): (I have my oldest's commencement tomorrow am too -- no complaints)
Liliafane: Welcome Dragonslayers to your celebration
Carissa (N'laea): I actually technically have tomorrow off, but we know how that goes
Liliafane: You came here with a burden and satisfied your immediate problem yet continues onwards to prove your worth
Liliafane: You were given a task to prove if you were unworthy, simply adventurers, or heroes
Liliafane: and you proved your selves to be heroes
Liliafane: (the crowd around the tables cheers(
Bixi Fizzlebang: nods
Indigo: smiles happily
Liliafane: Our gathered throng wants to hear your tale
Liliafane: why did you choose to be heroes and not simply adventurers?
Liliafane: How did you arrive back here
Liliafane: and what did you overcome
Liliafane: Bring us a tale worth of heroes
BOB The tables grow quiet as drinks are filled and elves listen to your tale
Michael (Talwin): Give me a minute and I'll post. Almost done with my section
Michael (Talwin): I'll post in a block
Carissa (N'laea): (did you want to go first Lorie?)
Lorie (Licornah): (I'm okay for you to go)
Indigo: fidgets in his seat as it's story time
Raelynn: clears her throat and makes a big ta-do because she's in the spotlight and loves it
Raelynn: Thank you all for this wonderful feast and your kindness. Some of us didn't expect to be here yet, and some of us not at all, but I am just as honored to be in your company, and look forward to the day we can be again.
BOB Elven voices, .... Stay with us, no need to leave
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Why these elves keep wanting everyone to be dead?
BOB Yes you all can undertand all that is going on during the feast
Raelynn: It all began a moon and a half ago, when we had reports of goblin trouble back home. There we crawled through dirt and grim, through nasty dirty tunnels, trying to resecue some poor miners who were kidnapped. While we sadly arrived too late, we happened upon a manicore and her son, ones who looked forward to the day they could take back these lands and cause troubles untold. But do you think that we, heroes, allow such a thing?
BOB cheers
Craigh calls out, "No!"
Raelynn: smiles and nods and continues
BOB (suspiciously like dwarves if truth be told.... )
Carissa (Raelynn): (do we recognize any of them as our seven??? :P)
Lisa (Indigo): we let them go
Lisa (Indigo): no dwarves here
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Don't forget to mention that Bixi found the cloak and let the elves have it with NO HESITATION
BOB (NONE these are all Elves, was a side comentary on the similarities)
BOB I can see that Carissa is building up the story before arriving in the Elf Lands so that Lorie can take the lead on the giants
Raelynn: Of course not! My brave fellows could not ALLOW such a thing! So, facing hoards of hobgoblins, sought to rid the lands of the mancore. Our wonderful illusionist and her master saw through the deceotion of the fake hobgoblins, our fearless warriors faced the manicore, and our fullhearted Nlaea and Bran tried to reason with them, but alas, the chose death. And what, my fellow, did we find with this mother manicore but a cloak of UNSPEAKABLE beautfy?
Carissa (Raelynn): (screw typos right now)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Through dangers untold and hardship unnumbered, we have fought our way here to the castle beyond the goblin city...
Michael (Talwin): Seriously, don't worry about it lol
BOB YES Lemon
Raelynn: IT was clear this was not for us mere mortals to keep and to hold, for it belong to the mother of us all. And we all want to take care of she who brought us forth, do we not?
Liliafane: Smiles happily
Carissa (Raelynn): (stealing that for giants if you're good with it Lemon as I try to send this work email... and type...)
Michael (Talwin): Imagining this speech as Aragorn bolsters the truth at the gates of mordor
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Makes a mental note to slam-book style Carissa when writing up the summary because she did not play up Bixi enough...
Michael (Talwin): *troops
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, steal the thing I stole? Absolutely, go for it
Raelynn: The great mage among us, Countess (insert all her title here) Branwyn, had a way for us to do as good children are to do, and return that which is not ours to return. But it could not be as simple as that. We had to prove ourselves, as any should to step foot in this land. And so we set off, bidden and accepting, there was more to be done.
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Carissa (Raelynn): (Bixi will get her mention, one sec, har dto hurry this now that I'm in it lol)
Carissa (Raelynn): (but triying),
Michael (Talwin): As soon as Raelynn is done, I can spin a tale about a quick snapshop in the Giant castle. I have it all typed otu and ready to go :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): no worries, I look forward to try to figure out how to format a slam-book on that page.
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
Raelynn: And so we made our way to the giant steading, a foulness upon these lands unseen, adding darkness where none should be given for what lay inside was a chain. A chain of darkness, evil, and pollution, a taint upon these wonderful and beautiful lands. But what could we, a small group adeventurers, do again a large group of giants?
Raelynn: gives a sly smile
Raelynn: Quite a lot, I assure you.
Raelynn: But, it is not only my tale to tell, my dearest listeners, now is it? I can describe the magnificant shot of N'laea, blinding a giant with two shots of her bow. Or of Bixi, and her unmatched botany skills safving us from deadly mold and finding us a sword hidden among the giants. And what of Talwin? Putting his life at risk to save dwarves mere strangers to him? Branwyn and her many jaws of pure fear and power? Tiberius and his unrelenting need to offer protection? Craigh, Lanek, and Youtargim, finding the traps to keep us safe from falling in them? Fearless Indigo, willing to chase giants and dive into the deepest waters? Licornah, her quiet wisdom guiding our path? No, my fellows. I'll give them their spotlight for their tales.
Raelynn: bows and nods towards the group for them to speak
Talwin: Raelynn speaks well of us!
Talwin: I would add that we also learn
Carissa (Raelynn): (tried to ermember what everyone did, hope I hit the points)
Talwin: Myself especially. We learn from our mistakes for I especially, am only human
Talwin: We all can share many stories. But there is so much to tell! Why heroes? It was nothing any of you would not have done. Is that heroism? To want to keep the natural world as safe as can be? I say nay, that is a duty...an obligation! Talwin rests hand proudly on his rideiculously long sword But Chargrined, his cheeks turn dimpled red We like to help people! Branyn has always been beyond anyone I've ever known to do so. We somehow get tangled up in events and in the end, it just sort of...well...happened. I don't see myself as a hero, just a humble adventurer with my friends! Blushes for speaking so frank. While in the holds of the giants keep, I found room after room of filth. When we strode into a room and saw several prisoners, I rushed in with my friend Indigo to rescue them! I didn't think it was a trap and even more foolishly I dind't think to approach more cautiosly I and my friend Indigo were ambushed! I had formed a partnership with a sentient sword. A person trapped in the blade who'd in a previous life been devestated by the giants. But I uh, maybe took to my new friendship beyond the brink of wisdom. I should have known better in truth. A sword of this size is not my speciality. I refused to consider it. I kept him at my side, vowing to enact his vengence on his behalf! Yet, I could not land a blow. Even after taking a few rather nasty hits for a mortal, I should have instead returned to the familiar weight and grip of my long sword. But, in my promise, I refused. I chose not to give up, and my friends around me are why I am still here. They are the reason I come to explore and adventure. I'll never be the best swordsmaster, or the best knight, but I'll always help my friends!" Looks at Sword. "After that encounter, I agreed with it that we would have to compromise for the rest of the adventure. I would need to be of actual assistance to keep alive naturally. So it kept close to me heart while I slay with the more familiar blade. "I'll uh, never abandon them either. I'll find a way to turn this sword into a more managable blade for myself, and then continue honing my art. I believe it doesn't particularly care about it's shape, just that it is used to it's fullest potential. And, just like I hope I prove to oneday be to my own friends, despite my faults." I could not be prouder to serve one such as Branwyn, or those whom surround me. The loves, the losses and quirks.
BOB Now for the rest of the group Licornah and Talwin to add in them the rest to supliment
Lorie (Licornah): :: nods to Talwin ::
Michael (Talwin): I have done my civic duty. Also would be dead without Indigo. So...Kudos Lisa. I owe you a drink when we meet up at Bobs :)
BOB Letting Lorie speak and then the group continue
BOB as everyone sees fit to tell your tale of heroes
Michael (Talwin): (Shoot! Sorry if I spoke out of turn. It was just ready to go)
Lisa (Indigo): we all save each other Michael!
Michael (Talwin): (Sorry Lorie!)
Michael (Talwin): *Lorie
Michael (Talwin): Pff. I would be dead like three times over without everyone here. Indigo just saved me ass that time LOL :)
BOB Still have time
Lorie (Licornah): (nope, please go ahead, you have yours all typed...I'm good :) )
BOB I think that was all of the typed stuff
BOB Lorie you get a chance to add the Elven perspective
Lorie (Licornah): (Okies)
BOB Of the Giant portion
Licornah: :: looks at the Avatar and then the group and finally to the attendees::
Michael (Talwin): Yep. Sorry if not clear. Didn't know exact timing. I can do more if noone else has stuff, but I was a pretty minor character in this one. You guys did a TON of stuff
User is back. (Lemon)
Michael (Talwin): (I have the site up guys. Do you want me to remind all the cool stuff you did? :) )
BOB zero worries on that Michael next one is about Talwin
Licornah: We are humbled by the opportunity to give service to the goddess and her cause. My fellow travelers and I found many giants and their prisoners and endeavored to save those we could :: nods to Zayden :: and sadly, there were some we could not
BOB and his quest for mastery
Michael (Talwin): Yeah, I saw that bob. LOL
Licornah: Ware the Giant compound... there are many creatures inside -- Giant and Beast alike
BOB The elves raise a toast to those lost
Indigo: drinks
Licornah: We've been honored to be touched by her goodness and we should now toast her graciousness.
BOB CHEEERS
Michael (Talwin): Raises the goblet...hesitates as if remembering the lost... drinks solumnly. with Care
Indigo: raises his glass
Raelynn: joins in
Licornah: :: demures to the others ::
BOB Bixi for the gnomes? Indigo for the Hin? and Who for the Humans?
Craigh joins the toast
BOB beyond Talwin
Talwin: Raises the goblet...hesitates as if remembering the lost... drinks solumnly. with Care
Lisa (Indigo): Craigh?
BOB Indigo and Bixi go
BOB then Craigh can
TMO (Craigh): sure thing
BOB tell your tale of being a hero and why you did what you did
BOB What you saw and overcame
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Indigo first?
BOB Either
BOB You are impressing the Elves
BOB on why you are heroes
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I just don't want to be trying to talk while Indigo is trying to talk
Michael (Talwin): And playing up the audicene. Say it to yourself. "You are a hero. A badass. HNNNG"
Lisa (Indigo): I'm waiting - not saying anything unless you want me to
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, I guess I'll go first
Bixi Fizzlebang: steps forward and nervously does the awkward curtsey
BOB ELVES - Listen to the little one
Talwin: edges forward slightly, as if to give Bixi some moral support if needed. a Slight look of concern and also beaming pride for Bixi
Talwin: in her moment of triumph
BOB letting Lemon post
Bixi Fizzlebang: Thank you for allowing me the honor of attending your feast! I am sure there have not been many of my kind here before, and I appreciate it, and will pass on tales of it's beauty for generations to come. When I first discovered the beautiful cloak of the goddess on the body of the willful manticore, I was overwhelmed. It seemed very powerful. But as heroes do, I allowed others with more experience and wisdom than I to speak up, and my elven companions assured me this was no ordinary cloak, and that it must be returned to it's rightful owner, and of course, I agreed, for I am no common thief! I am small, but brave, and willing to face even giants in order to do what is right, and protect lands and creatures that need protection. I am small, but merciful, and do my best not to harm any that have not done any harm themselves. I am small, but my mind is always studying and thinking, and learning the natural world and the unnatural, so I was able to recognize the potentially sentient mold immediately. And I am happy to have been able to use my talents in service of the beautiful elven goddess and the residents of her land.
Bixi Fizzlebang: steps back to let Indigo go
Talwin: A Single teardrop of pride is in Talwins right eye
Talwin: Hugs Bixi
Michael (Talwin): Sentient Mold is probably one of the scariest things I can think of existing the more I think about it....
Indigo: Ummm ... I think we're always heroes. I mean I'm aknight so it's kind of my duty but we all are. When there's bad stuff and we get asked to help we just do.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Idk, I kind of htink of it like the fraggle rock garbage pile
Michael (Talwin): Whelp, that helped thanks Lemon LOL
Indigo: Have you ever been in the Giant Steading? At first we had to sneak
Indigo: We snuck past two sleeping giants and found giants and orcs and ogres!
BOB Cheers for Bixi and Oooh for Indigo
BOB oooooo
Indigo: There was about 100 of them having party and cooking in the kitchen!
Indigo: We snuck by all of them and N'Laea only had to kill one ogre to get by!
Michael (Talwin): (Indigo stole lots of food while we killed them! :D )
Indigo: Then we went down and found dozens and dozens of bugbears!
Talwin: Shudders at the rememberance of the filth, the rot
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And yogurt aggroed the extras...
Indigo: They guard all the slaves and we jumped into the bugbear camp and killed some and then closed them off
Indigo: And more giants and apes even!!
Indigo: But when we finished that then Craigh can tell what we did
BOB TMO can round out the story
Craigh laughs and stands up. "Thank you, Indigo."
Indigo: grins
Craigh Well, as you can tell, I am the pinnacle of physical perfection, so once the rest of the team cornered the vile creatures, I quickly knocked them all unconscious with but a single punch!"
Craigh: Well, as you can tell, I am the pinnacle of physical perfection, so once the rest of the team cornered the vile creatures, I quickly knocked them all unconscious with but a single punch!"
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): my strategy was "butter them up, then be like look how awesome I am, give me presents."
Craigh stands next to Talwin, showcasing how puny he is compared to him
BOB The Elves all laugh
Talwin: Wraps arm around Craigh's Shoulder with a brilliant smile, as if Craigh is to modest about himself and conveying that he doesn't give himself enough credit
Craigh: Seriously though, my role was to scout, find the dangers, and guide my friends around the worst of them and hopefully closer to our goal
Craigh: I'm certain that beings so closely tied to the spirits of Nature as elves are can appreciate how useful scouting and observation is.
Indigo: claps
BOB Cheers
Michael (Talwin): (I feel like we are the most entertainment these elves have had in millenia with how much bob has them cheering LOL :) )
Craigh: And our labors were rewarded! Together we found, and returned, the Iron Chain!
Indigo: claps
BOB Loud Cheers and toasts
Talwin: Pumps arm in the air
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, how much entertainment do nearly-immortal dead elves get, do you think? They're probably bored out of their minds
BOB Who's arm?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol
TMO (Craigh): anybody know Dancing?
BOB grisn
Michael (Talwin): lol
Liliafane: Thank you all for a well wrought tale
Liliafane: you all deserve a reward
Liliafane: What Boon shall you ask of the Elven Lords?
Bixi Fizzlebang: looks to the elves for guidance on whether or not to be greedy
Talwin: Looks abashed as though awkward, uncomfortable with asking
Carissa (N'laea): (is it still unclear if it's individual or the group?)
Carissa (N'laea): (Was that discussed earlier and I missed?)
BOB No one has clarified anything
Michael (Talwin): (I def. missed)_
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, it was not specified
BOB This is your chance
Lisa (Indigo): 8 minutes - no rush
BOB grins
'Lorie' disconnected
Michael (Talwin): Bob. I don't ask boons in real life, and it's actually paining me in fake life. I can't ask. I literally feel like garbage
BOB That is ok Michael
Michael (Talwin): We got a crap ton of treasure in teh door. I'm good with that
'Lorie' connected
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, I 100% will ask, but not before the elves set an example to show it's ok
Lisa (Indigo): you don't have to
BOB Welcome back Lorie
N'laea: My Lords and Ladies, we thank you for the boon you offer us. If it is one for us all, we have tough journeys and trials ahead of us, and would ask for you to offer what protection and guidance you can for us all. If it is a boon for us each.... I am certain we each have ideas on what would best suite us each.
Michael (Talwin): Thanks. I'm sorry. Its stupid, but causing me anxiety and I don't need a boon that bad
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): In the event of elf stuff, I defer to elves
N'laea: But it is with gratitude and grace will will accept what blessings and boons you see befitting.
Liliafane: Smiles at M'laea and lets the group continue to speak for a moment
Carissa (N'laea): (m'lady)
Lorie (Licornah): (Sorry my computer decided it wanted to reboot)
Liliafane: M'lady,.... My Lady.... GoT scene
TMO (Craigh): just so long as you're not wearing a fedora when you say that
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh man, that reminds me... yesterday I explained to the kids that sometimes people can have more than one uppercase letter in their name, and their minds were BLOWN. Three-year-olds man.
N'laea: gives a slight nod, "I believe we are all uncertain as to what would be fitting to ask, if it is too much to ask for a boon for each or one for all."
Liliafane: Very well
Liliafane: For Bixi, you are granted the benefit of Botany (a +5 added to your skill)
Liliafane: For Indigo a potion of Heroism
Liliafane: for Craigh a rope of binding
Indigo: Thank you!
Liliafane: for Branwyn a Fire Seed
Bixi Fizzlebang: does the weird curtsey that she's known for, and thinks maybe she should have asked for a better curtsey
Carissa (N'laea): (Dalhia's twin??)
Branwyn: smiles
Liliafane: (unkown what that does at this time)
Branwyn: Thank you!
Craigh bows to the goddess
Lisa (Branwyn): she'll figure it out :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): +5 sounds pretty good
Carissa (N'laea): (it's damn good)
Liliafane: For Talwin the Giant Sword shrinks down into a two handed sword for his mastery
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yessssssssssss

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): This is almost like two rewards for me
Carissa (N'laea): (loll)
Liliafane: for Licornah she gets a gold orb with a beating red heart in it
Talwin: Stares with unrestrained happiness as if not belieiving this was possible. moved to tears
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): only slightly creepy
Carissa (N'laea): (that sounds.... creepy yes)
Talwin: clutches it to his chest
Michael (Talwin): LOL

Liliafane: for Youtargim he gets a scroll

Liliafane: Looking at Tiberius
Liliafane: Your heart is confused
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Ahhhh, this suits us, my friend
Liliafane: Which do you wish?
Branwyn: looks at Tiberius
Tiberius Branadarus: Blinks and smiles
TMO (Craigh): (the sword doesn't play much of a role in Season 1, but I'm sure it will in S2)
Tiberius Branadarus: I want my love to be whole and safe,
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Tiberius: What my heart truly desires, is to watch the elves reenact the single ladies music video. Leotards and all.
Liliafane: Very well, your mother shall remain here in Olympus, we will not let her pass back to your realm
Liliafane: Drinks for everyone
Branwyn: bites her lower lip
Liliafane: This is a time to celebrate
Bixi Fizzlebang: (LINK)

Liliafane: (DOH sorry)
Liliafane: N'laea shall recieve her quiver of arrows
