Carissa: Hard times, man. He's had to be innovative.

Michael: LOL

Michael: I just got that

Michael: Wow. Been a long week

Carissa: Yup

Michael: I guess stuff my fly over my head today lol.

Lisa: I clicked on a token and got booted outside with Youtargim

Carissa: All good. I often reread chat and go, "Dang, how'd I miss that?"

BOB you are fine Michael

BOB unlike Carissa ;P

Michael: Pff

Carissa: :P

BOB See

BOB So waiting to be fure that TMO and Lemon are in

Michael: Just syncing right?

BOB then will have Thistle explain who Old Man Miller is and why

BOB for Lorie and Lemon

Lisa: why old man miller is?

BOB then we kick off with joining them

BOB Who Why What

Lisa: she probably doesn't remember the story of his birth

Michael: hey with you it could also be when and were bob

Lisa: people will have to ask him that themselves

Carissa: Yeah

Carissa: Thistle only met him when they returned from Ghostwood. She doesn't remember it. Aka I don't remember much of it.

BOB Thistle has been here several times over the past decade that she has been in Dragon Fen

Indigo: should I post it?

Michael: Yes, but the magical overlord that controls Thistle has been incredibly busy :P

Carissa: And doesn't remember things, exactly!

BOB You can link to anything you like Lisa

Carissa: The only thing I got for him is a song

Carissa: (LINK)

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAtDrFdomN4">(LINK)</a>

Lorie: So we get no background... and we're hated for being elves... good times in Dragonslayer land

Lisa: I was just going to say that everyone should feel sorry for Miller because he is an orphan

BOB smile with Lorie and Lisa

Carissa: Nah just the Hobgoblins hate the elves. The elves haven't really had much hate otherwise.

BOB Only the hobgoblins hate elves

Lisa: and green dragons

Lorie: It seems Lisa doesn't like Elves

Lisa: why do you say that?

Carissa: lol she's had too many elves and too many priests over the years

BOB and the line that Lisa is refering to is: Old Man Miller has said several times about his past " I am an orphan, my mother died giving birth to my older brother"

BOB Lisa? Or Branwyn?

Lorie: :: shrug :: Please don't give us yet another elf (no offense elven ones)

Lorie: Are we still waiting on anyone?

BOB Lemon and TMO

BOB but also making sure that everyone is in sync with visiting Old Man Miller

BOB not in depth details but overall concepts

Lisa: I was just thinking we have enough elves at the moment and if tmo wanted to make a new character that he would want to roleplay he might want to pick something new rather than another elf. Doesn't mean I don't like them

Lorie: Is there some significance to visting him or not? Is this a BOB hook ?

Michael: (TMO could rock Race he chooses. My god, with his help, I turned Talwin into a beast)

Lisa: miller's is a day's travel stopping point

Lisa: better than sleeping on the side of the road

Lemon: Ah, finally loading! 6:18-6:34

Lisa: and he usually has some sort of gossip to share

Carissa: dang and I thought 10 minutes was bad for mine

Lisa: Hi Lemon :)

BOB Sorry for that Lemon

Michael: So...bob, if I was to log in say thirty min earlier, would it be "in snyc" when game time starts? Just in case that helps with the system or something

Michael: and Hi Lemon!

Michael: Glad you are here!!!

Lemon: Now to read the 20 minutes of chat that has just scrolled past me

BOB Sure that would work also Michael

Lorie: Evening Lemon

Lemon: Hello everyone!

Michael: Excellent

BOB and I will also look at what is loading to make it less for everone

BOB I think I have most things set to load at sync rather than sync later when I put something new on the map for example

Michael: huh

BOB For example Links and Stories should have things for you, but you may not need to sync with each type of barmaid that you could encounter on every possible map grins

TMO: I think I'm in?

Carissa: Yo!

BOB Yes you are Sir

Lisa: Hi TMO :)

Michael: Hi TMO!

TMO: greetings friends! it's been too long!

BOB Yes it has

Lemon: Yay, TMO here for my math questions!

Lisa: lol

TMO: Any and all of them

Lemon: 6:18-6:34, how many minutes?

TMO: 16

Lemon: I also just woke up from a nap so I'm extra number-impared

Lemon: Thanks TMO

Carissa: Which can be converted to "half of forever"

BOB Starting tonight TMO is here to add his commentary about Old Man Miller, you have a simple (?) relaxing (?) evening and then leave in the morning to head west then north on your road

Image: Leg One for Searching for Alexandria

Lemon: If nothing else maybe he can nudge us in the right question direction OOC so we can figure out what we're supposed to be asking IC. Fingers crossed emoji.

TMO: Lisa knows him better than I, I think, but I will do my best.

Lisa: ask what you would normally ask a bartender

Lisa: it should be fun easy party time

BOB Remember this is a go at your own pace traveling adventure

Michael: Do you have a diet coke?

Carissa: In game our only goal is a good night's sleep. We don't technically have reason to care about Miller

Lisa: yeah you do that Michael :D

Lisa: lol

BOB two or eight weeks from now you will be in Loosend for the first real tangle

Carissa: If it takes eight weeks, we need a new wagon or a refund.

Michael: :)

BOB Or someone to roll fewer encounters

TMO: who are our travelers tonight?

Michael: No pressure there bob

BOB Everyone is on the CT

Michael: I would like to be

BOB Youtargim is on the new map

BOB Talwin is Michael

BOB on the CT not on the map

Lisa: when I click on Indigo I get the wagon map

Michael: Sorry. Juggling maps

Michael: OH

Michael: Ok

BOB That is weird Lisa, when I click on him nothing, because he is not on any map

Lisa: I don't see him I just get that map to open

TMO: I have 2 maps, Wayside Inn and Dry Road

Michael: I do see the Wayside inn, but Talwin isn't there. Not trying to beat a dead horse, just checking in. No rush or anything

Michael: Def he is on Combat Tracker though

TMO: Beating Dead Horses takes place on the Stable map

Michael: LOL

Michael: Dark bud

TMO: like my soul... ;)

Michael: Ouch

BOB Super short nutshell on Old Man Miller from BOB's NPC persepctive: The group first encountered this Inn on the first day of the Phoenix Era (2010) when a red dragon burned down the inn. Then later on the group encountered Old Man Miller who had rebuilt the Inn. Then later on they encountered him again as they traveled up and down Farmers Turn. While the group was off in Dryads Lair during Diplomatic Entanglements they sent a group of dragons here to the Inn for a meeting, and it was burned down again, and rebuilt. Then apparently as Indigo approaches there is a new Inn that has been rebuilt again in the 6 years that he was gone to the Elf Lands.

Lemon: Indigo is all alone by the wagon on the road

BOB (LINK)

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

Lisa: very sad

BOB That link goes to Redfern Lake

Michael: Dude needs to get some Halon gas or something at this point

TMO: (brb)

Carissa: Maybe it was the hurricane and not burned down this time?

BOB At this point you do not know

BOB brb as you discuss among yourselves, emptying and refilling

Michael: Well, we can just go in and do a warm reception, say hi, chat a bit, and then have a quick get together

Michael: And if bad stuff is there, we do pest control

Michael: Thoughts?

Carissa: There's a party going on right now inside

Lemon: Um... did y'all send the dragons and THEY burnt down the inn?

Carissa: "It is 8 PM when you arrive at the Inn, hearing a happy crowd celebrating something" for those who missed chat this week.

Lisa: yup

Lisa: Branwyn told a dragon to go have their meeting at miller's

Michael: (Spolier, in the time we were gone the inn burned down again, and this is the Re-re-reopening, bobs burgers style)

Lemon: So... they're probably not happy to see you?

Carissa: (lol)

Lisa: oh no he's very happy

Carissa: Nah he got over it

Michael: He likes us

Lisa: Branwyn gave him 50 gp to fix it

Lemon: Wow, ok

Carissa: We stopped here before we found the mimic houses

Michael: Yeah, I thought we gave him enough money to make him happy :)

Lisa: and they kept going back and paying him directly

Carissa: And a few times before that, but after the burn down

Michael: And that's how lobbying was born

Lisa: it's all good

Lemon: lol

BOB back

BOB and grins at Michael

Lemon: afk a min

BOB SO heading into the courtyard

BOB Indigo and Thistle notice that the Inn has a totally new look

BOB The last rebuild was not just replacing what was existing but something different

Carissa (Thistle): (new to Thistle? if she was here for six years did she not know he was rebuilding?)

BOB She saw a rebuild a couple of years ago,

BOB but not this one

BOB so something happened

Michael: (I TOLD YOU IT BURNED DOWN AGAIN)

Carissa (Thistle): (so this is the FOURTH?)

Michael: My dude, it's time to retire

BOB Are you counting?

BOB grins

Carissa (Thistle): (lol)

Michael: At this point, HE might as well be an arsonist

Michael: (So should we all just go up?)

Indigo: Hey Howard! What happened to the Inn?

Michael: (I'll get IC Real quick)

Howard Plum: How should I know? I was busy at Dragon Fen while you were travelling for six years

Indigo: Howard! You know it wasn't like that

Howard Plum: sniffs

Howard Plum: I know

BOB Carissa did you get a pop up?

Talwin: This uh, does look different then when we passed here before

Howard Plum: But yes it does look different

TMO: (back)

Talwin: So...should we just...go in? Say hi?

Carissa (Thistle): (yes sorry stepped away what's this mean?)

Talwin: I'd love to go to bed....

Indigo: Howard you stay with the wagon while I arrange for the stables and the rooms. We can't leave the chests unguarded out here

Raelynn: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 6]

BOB good that you got it

BOB and thank you

Carissa (Thistle): (oooh fancy)

BOB just testing a new extension when I want someone to make a check without saying it

Talwin: (Sighs) I'm sorry Indigo, I forgot about that. I'm going to stick with Howard for now. Sorry Howard

Howard Plum: All right, but please hurry I don't want to guard alone for long

Carissa (Thistle): (nice)

Talwin: Oh good. This works for us both

Thistle: Well he did rebuilt it earlier, but he rebuilt it... again?

Michael (Talwin): Grins

Talwin: Grins

Howard Plum: Thank you Talwin

TMO: soaks in the delicious, delicious, roleplay....

Youtargim: Are we really debating to go inside a bar?

Talwin: Smiles Tiredly. "I would hate for you to get jumped"

Indigo: I'll be quick so I can unpack and we can relax and have ale

Talwin: We'll figure the rest out later

Thistle: They are. Now either open it up Youtm or get outta the way.

Lisa (Indigo): ready to go in?

Lisa (Indigo): always in the way that one

Michael (Talwin): (If you need help call or shout. I just didn't want us to get robbed and poor howard get jumped.)

Carissa (Thistle): (aw man, can't do movement off when not in combat? does it have to be turned on before game not during?)

Youtargim: Hello there, we would like a set of rooms and your finest meal please

Michael (Talwin): (wow. I dare you to say that at a Taco Bell)

Youtargim: It is all on Countess Branwyn The Mysterious of Dragon Fen's bill

TMO: (that's easy: Taco Bell doesn't have a finest meal)

Thistle: (yay you did get the right name, lol)

Michael (Talwin): (.......)

Lisa (Indigo): hey hey

Lisa (Indigo): lol

BOB Sorry on the movement thing will have to work that out on how to toggle on and off easily

Carissa (Thistle): (yes please for next time)

Michael (Talwin): To heck with the movement. I'm engrossed in this conversation

GM: I am sorry you said you want what?

Lisa (Indigo): would help in combat but not in free roam as much

Thistle: OLD MAN! What'd you do to the place???

Lisa (Indigo): IC Bob

GM: I am sorry you said you want what?

Carissa (Thistle): (no clue if she sees him, but she can yell for him without seeing him)

Michael (Talwin): (I think we are on the fastest way to insult an NPC, and I choked out a peasant)

GM: GRRRRRRR

Carissa (Thistle): (read that as pheasant first and was concerned)

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Lisa (Indigo): it's ok - was just saying is all

TMO: (choking out a peasant is okay, but not a pheasant??)

Lisa (Indigo): lol

GM: Hello

TMO: (I question your priorities)

Carissa (Thistle): (I mean in certain circumstances, I suppose but not this one)

Lisa (Indigo): still GM

GM: I am sorry what did you say you want?

Lemon: I was also questioning that, TMO

GM: Holy Cow

BOB Very sorry no clue what happened

Carissa (Thistle): (ooh I hope she got a holy cow, that'd be awesome)

Lisa (Indigo): for chat formatting can you say who you are talking as and I'll fix for story chat

GM: Testing

Michael (Talwin): (Huh, not yet)

Youtargim: (testing)

BOB Ok so only the new NPCs are affected

BOB (Penny) I am sorry, What did you say you want?

Lisa (Indigo): nice

Bixi Fizzlebang: I hope this isn't stuck in some weird time thing. I'm kind of over that.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I might wait out here until I know it's safe...

Indigo: Hi Penny! Can we get some room in the stables and some rooms for us please?

Indigo: Rooms for everybody?

Michael (Talwin): (Nah, it'll be some thing else from the twilight zone. Like, last casualty of the dragon war or soemthing)

BOB (Penny) INDIGO!!!! Where have you been?

BOB I mean of course we can find places for you

Bixi Fizzlebang: Did that sound like a happy "INDIGO!" or a not happy one?

BOB I will kick people out

Indigo: In elf lands. We got stuck in a plane shift thing

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks at Howard and Talwin

BOB (Penny) I mean of course we can find places for you, I will kick people out

Lisa (Indigo): kick people out? don't make us load again

Lisa (Indigo): pls

Lisa (Indigo): oops IC sorry

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, don't jinx it

BOB (Penny) Elf Lands? I thought Thistle was upset that Shi went to the Elf Lands and took so long to return?

BOB (penny) Did you go after Shi?

Thistle: She came back! HI PENNY!

Indigo: looks confused

Indigo: Don't kick people out

Indigo: Can we have a common room then?

BOB (Penny) Thistle, you are looking good, nice top! where did you get that?

Thistle: Shur got it for me! She said I needed something "more presentable" or something.

BOB (Priest) My Friends we are so grateful to have so many of you here today to celebrate

Carissa (Thistle): (WOW I totally blanked on Jilly so Shur was the backup there)

BOB (Penny) well she does have good taste, even if she is old

Thistle: (LOL)

Thistle: RIGHT? The old keep getting older. Where's the Old Man anyways??

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is there a wedding?

Bixi Fizzlebang: gets curious and creeps toward the door

BOB (Penny) Oh just the celebration of the .... fish? Finding? .... OH Fourantate !

BOB (penny) Yeah the Fortunate

Indigo: I'm fortunate

BOB (penny) she is here to gather some donations

Indigo: I think

Indigo: Ohhh you mean a fortune teller?

BOB (penny) you always bring us good fourtune Indigo

Thistle: (LINK)

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXFSK0ogeg4&t=7s">(LINK)</a>

BOB (penny) Laughs, that would be fun too

BOB (boo I was hoping for a different fortunate son)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Ha! We are the most fortunate of all. These people know nothing of the true companionship that exists here.

Carissa (Thistle): (almost did)

Indigo: Can I put the horses in the stables and bring our stuff in?

Carissa (Thistle): (but you had OH FORTUNA like right therE)

Indigo: All our stuff is outside

BOB (Penny) that sounds very nice

Bixi Fizzlebang: can I... have the sword fall in love with Talwin?

BOB Yes to Lemon

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 14]

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Just in case

Michael (Talwin): (Out of idle curiosity for cool powers, can my sword here the conversations in there, when I am out here with howard? That would be insanely cool)

Michael (Talwin): (Just asking cause above)

Michael (Talwin): :)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: There is nothing stronger than the bond between man and giant-slayer trapped in sword

Lisa (Indigo): was that a yes to unload?

Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): lol, I figured the door is still open with everyone stuck in the doorway there

BOB As the group enters the Inn you see a priestess there on the rug preaching about how fortunate everyone in this room is and how they need to help spread that fortune to everyone else, and she then calls for another round of ale for everyone here

Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): And the people talking don't seem... quiet

Lisa (Indigo): I was trying to get in and out ...

Michael (Talwin): (It's a witch!)

BOB (Priestess) Look more who have come to join our gathering of fortunate people

BOB (Priestess) Who are you? Tell us how Fortune shines upon you!

BOB Yes Penny said it is ok to unload then she left

BOB without an answer about the rooms

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): very sus

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Vote Penny out

Indigo: Okay Talwin let's put the horses away and unload the wagon

Indigo: goes to do that

Michael (Talwin): Nods

Michael (Talwin): Sure thing

Thistle: Uhh we're waiting to find out. How's... fortune shining on you?

Talwin: This is going to sound paranoid, but Howard had me on edge.

Michael (Talwin): Fills a pouch with about 25 GP.

Indigo: What's wrong with Howard?

Talwin: I'll put it back in the morning

TMO: I get to take my daughter and her friend to the park for a while! Yay me! Woo!

Talwin: Fills a pouch with about 25 GP

Indigo: Besides the usual

Carissa (Thistle): (okay but ya gotta come back)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But what if there's math!

Talwin: Tucks in shirt

Talwin: Tucks in Shirt

Carissa (Thistle): (math is banned until TMO returns)

TMO: (I will - they're wanting to go out there in cosplay costume of some sort. I expect they'll get hot *very* quickly. ;) )

Carissa (Thistle): (yay heat wave!)

Talwin: He brought back some old thoughts about the City states up north (or wherever, we never did get around to establishing that)

Talwin: Not his fault

Talwin: Shrugs

BOB (Priestess) It looks like we have some believers here with us as well

Thistle: Uh yeah, sure sure, we definitely believe... I'm sorry what was it? I've already had a fe.w

BOB (Penny) Thistle you might not want to talk much

Bixi Fizzlebang: whispers to those closest to her "Does this seem sketchy to anyone else?"

BOB (Penny) drags Thistle over to a corner

Thistle: quieter, "Uh, fill me in?"

Michael (Talwin): (Oh my god. This is going to be a game night to remember. let's burn down the inn at the end)

BOB (Penny) Keep everyone's pockets closed

BOB (Penny) She has been looking for donations all night, the first round of them went to more ale, now she needs more for her church

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Normally I would say that's a terrible idea, but... I mean it's probably due for another rebuilding

Thistle: Another chuch? We don't need another one.

Thistle: For what god?

Indigo: I'm not sure I even want to take the gold in the inn. Hang on a second

Michael (Talwin): (Red God - GoT)

BOB I do hope you zoom in on the customers and occupants of the Inn, tried to make it fun

Indigo: puts up the room scroll on a wall

Carissa (Thistle): (yes very nice!)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's all black for me

Talwin: Nods

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Except the doorway

Talwin: Good idea

Indigo: puts the 3000 gp from the trolls in the room scroll

Thistle: If ya don't have room, and we'll just cause trouble, we can get moving, Penny. Especially if this weird lady is going to cause problems.

Talwin: Take a few gold pieces, sticks them deep in his boots, and tosses the pouch in after Indigo.

Indigo: We still have the potions and the other chest to keep safe

BOB (Penny) Oh no the Old Man would not be happy with that

BOB (Penny) We will find you a place

Talwin: "I kept a few to pay. That way they wont see us open the scroll" "No need to give anyone any bright ideas"

Indigo: But if we can get a room we'll be okay

Talwin: Whispers

Indigo: takes the scroll down

Thistle: But where is the old man?

Talwin: Ready to go back?

BOB (Penny) can any of your friends cure drunkenness?

Talwin: I worry about them. You know Thistle

Indigo: The scroll won't open until tomorrow now. I have spending money too. Don't go giving them too much

Thistle: Er, maybe? Is he drunk?

Indigo: Some silvers should do it

Indigo: Ready?

Youtargim: So if I can get this coin to land on heads three times in a row you will agree that The Mist is not an abomonation?

Indigo: I'm hungry

Talwin: Something about this is making my skin crawl. I've felt this before. I wont drink anything tonight. I'll take first watch, Inn or not

Indigo: Okay

BOB (Penny) no for the customers who are under her influence, or under the influence I would say

Bixi Fizzlebang: What is Yout talking about?

Indigo: hands Talwin one of the chests

Indigo: let's go

Michael (Talwin): (Wait, we put it all in the room right?)

Michael (Talwin): I just kept a few for expenses

Michael (Talwin): (Handful of silver and a couple GP)

BOB (Priestess) So if I flip this coin and it lands on Heads two of three times you will donate all of your earnings for the year to the church as a celebration?

Thistle: Well damn. I guess I'm not drinking tonight, either?

Thistle: HEY YOUT! COME HERE A SECOND!

Youtargim: Yes 100% of my earnings to your church if you can get this coin to land on....

Lisa (Indigo): just the big loot

Michael (Talwin): (Play your character the way you want :) Might be fun)

Youtargim: Sorry just a moment mamn, being called away

Michael (Talwin): (But Talwin will not be giving up jack crap)

Youtargim: Yes Thistle?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What earnings does Yout have?

Thistle: Don't be an idiot.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

Michael (Talwin): lol

Thistle: Penny says she's swindled everyone.

Michael (Talwin): Should I move my character more in?

Michael (Talwin): the Inn?

Youtargim: Why shoudl I be different?

Thistle: What church is it?

Youtargim: Who knows? This is a one sided coin

Thistle: Oh really? That's cool! Like the dice Craigh has?

Youtargim: Well it looks like two sides

Thistle: Yeah, alright, carry on.

Youtargim: But it really only lands on one side

Youtargim: I thought you were a gypsy?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Are there any... more private tables? These strangers are making me nervous

Youtargim: Don't you have one like this?

Youtargim: Or dice?

Thistle: Uh yeah, but you sure ain't

Indigo: Wow! What happened here?

Carissa (Thistle): (does she?)

Talwin: Enters, crest of Bran emplazoned and standing as tall as he can. His expression is dark and is mean to convey that he won't be bothered and will defend his companions. He passes his gaze over the swindler and walked over to Yout.

BOB (She has been sorely lacking in training )

Carissa (Thistle): (poor thing)

Carissa (Thistle): (so she just won't admit anything :) )

Michael (Talwin): (Backup has arrived Thistle!)

Thistle: Nah, he's fine. I was just making sure he wasn't an idiot.

BOB (Customer playing chess) Hey you, watch where you are going, (to Talwin) If you make me blow this move you are paying my bet

Michael (Talwin): (Nah, its more to protect both of you)

Indigo: drags the chests up to the empty table near the bar

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: I would suggest Knight to D9

Talwin: That would checkmate him

Lisa (Indigo): busy place! :)

Thistle: Hey Penny, ya need some help?

BOB (Lady across the table from him) NO FAIR!

Talwin: Shrugs

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oooh, a piano. Too bad Zayden is answering nature's call, he would enjoy this

Talwin: I did jostle him my good lady. My sincerest apologies.

Talwin: Bows deep in sincere regret.

BOB (Old Man Miller) INDIGO!!!!!! Thistle!.... Welcome to you too

Thistle: OLD MAN!

Howard Plum: Miller!

BOB (Miller) Indigo where have you been!

Howard Plum: grins

BOB (Miller) Oh hello Howard,

Lisa (Howard Plum): shoot

Carissa (Thistle): (LOL)

Indigo: Miller!

Michael (Talwin): haha

Indigo: grins

Carissa (Thistle): (accidentally and now he knows Miller wouldn't be as thrilled to see him)

BOB (Miller) you still owe us for that wheel of cheese Howard

Howard Plum: frowns

BOB (Miller) Jilly said it comes out of your funds and not the Estate

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is there more cheese?

Thistle: Was it actually good cheese or you just cheating him?

Indigo: You didn't hear that we got lost?

Indigo: If it was Penny's cheese it was good cheese

BOB (Miller) offended... Is there such a thing as bad cheese? Penny! Did you hear that! Thistle says you might be cheating Howard with bad cheese

BOB (Miller) No Indigo I heard you were dead

Indigo: I'm sorry

BOB (Miller) that you went off to the Elf Lands and were lost for wever

BOB (Miller) But I see you have new Elf Friends

Thistle: Hey! She's gotten really good! You probably didn't give him her best, didja?

BOB (Miller) looks over Licornah

Indigo: That's Licornah

BOB (miller) smiles, What can we get for you?

Indigo: Licornah! This is Old Man Miller

BOB (Mille) Welcome to my Inn

BOB (Miller) a friend of Indigo is a friend of mine

Bixi Fizzlebang: decides being polite isn't working

Licornah: :: nods :: Nice to meet you. Do you have any Evermead?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Indigo!! If you order some cheese, get extra for me!!

BOB (Miller) I will gind something that will suit you quick enough

BOB (miller) Penny! Deal with this gnome please, we do not want anyone complaining about them

Michael (Talwin): And ....that's why we need to burn it down on the way out...

Bixi Fizzlebang: RUDE!!!

BOB (Miller) So Licornah, you look new here, where do you come from?

Indigo: Can we have some stew and cheese with extra cheese for Bixi and extra stew for me please?

Indigo: And ale

BOB (Penny) I am sorry .... miss? You know it is so much harder with gnomes, with Elves it is easy to tell, I never get the noses right on gnomes

Bixi Fizzlebang: mumbles I have half a mind to summon another manticore

Indigo: thinks, get noses right?

Talwin: Stands leaning agains the wall, keeping an eye on the room and remaining at the ready for his friends. Rest his hand on Bixe's shoulder. I'll buy you cheese whell on the way out of here

BOB (Miller) JOE! Go fetch a full dinner platter for ... 8? 10? Make it a dozen!

Licornah: I'm from Silvermoon

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not concerned with gender, I just want some of this cheese that everyone keeps talking about.

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 12]

BOB (Miller) Never heard of that place, is it far away? Like maybe north of Blackwater?

BOB (Penny) smiles, they all talk about me

Thistle: Joe?

Licornah: Yes... it's far north of here.

Michael (Talwin): (No rush, just being on the lookout for threats)

BOB (penny) but not many get my cheese)

Bixi Fizzlebang: rolls eyes and says to Talwin "None of these people ever meet a gnome before or what?"

Thistle: How many cows do you have now Penny??

BOB (Penny) I have 8 now, plus two bulls, and a flock of 14 sheep and 6 goats

Thistle: WOW!!

Talwin: Leans down. "We know what a badass you are and that's all the matters. Trust me, I'll buy you all the cheese in the world after that remark."

Talwin: Whispers

Carissa (Thistle): (...do I point out it's a herd not a flock or....?)

BOB (Penny) well 12 sheep after this feast

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): There is no science here, stop trying!

BOB (Penny) so miss... gnome? You do have a name I am sure, what do you want us to call you?

Carissa (Thistle): (hold on, I Google it. Who calls it a flock???)

Lisa (Indigo): Bob was being biblical with the flock of sheep maybe

Lisa (Indigo): Jesus

Carissa (Thistle): (LOL)

Talwin: lol

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not sure I'm inclined to give it right now, but thank you.

Carissa (Thistle): (suppose I'm used to more people calling them herds; sorry carry on)

Lisa (Indigo): lol

BOB (Penny) Look I am sorry the old man is not quite as welcoming to everyone, but the last couple of gnomes that came through caused a bit of a bother with the magic and stealing and general not paying their bill

BOB (Miller) JOE!!!! GET THAT FOOD OUT HERE NOW!

BOB (Miller) Indigo, so if you are back does that mean that Jilly rescued Branwyn?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well I would think you would know well enough that Indigo and the others would not have me traveling with them if I were that sort of person.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Judging by the warm greeting he got, anyway

Indigo: Nah! Jilly's been to busy having babies to rescue anyone

Indigo: She has four now!!

BOB (Miller) hands Licornah a full tankard of ale that has an almost frothy sparkle foam to it, more elven than you ever expected

Talwin: Even Talwin has a small tilt downwards at the attitude. Rumbles "You need no worry about this one. She is well valued at Branwnys council"

BOB (Penny) Indigo travels with some shady people, he is nice to everyone, but not everyone is as nice as he is

Talwin: Nods

Indigo: I do not!

BOB (Miller) Four now!

Talwin: I would count myself one of those. But this one is not

Indigo: What shady people do I travel with?

BOB Well I will have to send another present

Talwin: She is Bixi and you may call her that

BOB (Miller) How is little johan doing?

Talwin: Grips Bixi's shoulder tight in solidarity with the attitude

Talwin: Returns to keep watch again

Indigo: laughs

Indigo: Little Johan?

BOB (Penny) I remember you having a slightly smaller stick up your ass than those two paladins did (looking at Talwin) you might want to relax a bit more

BOB (Miller) Jilly's second son

BOB (Miller) I hear Kelly is learnign to be a fine baker

Indigo: Ohhhh ... that's ... strange

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hey, Talwin had to battle wills with a super intense... um... ghost sword or something. He's been through a lot.

BOB (Miller) How long were you gone Indigo? It has been what? 4? 8? years?

Indigo: Six

Talwin: Frowns at Penny. "I did. And then many of us almost died several times. She has a name, please use it."

Talwin: Strides a few steps away, still keeping watch

BOB (Penny) Talwin, you need a good ... drink... cask of wine

Bixi Fizzlebang: Plus some digestion issues.

BOB (Penny) Bixi you want some too?

Bixi Fizzlebang: So not a stick, per se

Bixi Fizzlebang: No thank you, just water if you don't mind please.

BOB (Penny) you never met Brer or Sunrise

Talwin: Penny, I don't think you have anything strong enough. Besides, I'm pretty sure I've stopped drinking unless I'm at home. I have enough problems

Talwin: Trying to be a little less uptight, give a warm smile

BOB (Penny) Pretty sure? Not really sure?

Talwin: Def. Sure

Talwin: Grins

Thistle: Sundope was a jerk. Brer was okay, but OLD.

Bixi Fizzlebang: stage whispers to Penny, "Like I said... digestion issues"

BOB (Penny) runs a finger along his jaw, Are you really sure you cannot relax?

Talwin: Snorts

BOB (Penny) See Thistle, those lessons with Shur pay off

Talwin: No thank you. This is a wonderful evening at the Inn, but I'm afraid I'm on watch tonight

BOB (Penny) when is the next wagon load of fish coming by the way Thistle?

BOB (Miller) HEY!!!!! STOP THAT!!!! GET AWAY FROM THEM!

Thistle: I dunno, I stopped paying attention. I got a mission to...

BOB (Miller) pointing at the Priestess

BOB (Miller) Last call Last Call

Indigo: looks around

BOB (Miller) Drink it if you have it

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks away from Penny and Talwin awkwardly

Indigo: drinks his ale

BOB (Miller) If you are not sleeping here then you need to find your own bed

Indigo: sad he only gets one

Indigo: Can we get a room?

BOB The crowd grumbles but in good nature

BOB They slowly make their way out the door

Talwin: Contemplating Murder

BOB and after a few moments you are left with your group, Miller, Penny, and the Priestess

Talwin: At Bixi? Wanna go for a walk? Something stinks in here

Bixi Fizzlebang: (LINK)

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGytDsqkQY8">(LINK)</a>

Thistle: whispers to Penny, "The priestess lady has a room here? Do you want her gone?"

Carissa (Thistle): (link approved)

Michael (Talwin): Good Link

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is it safe out there?

Michael (Talwin): lol

BOB (Penny) She has paid through the month

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is Talwin hitting on me?

Talwin: (No, he's pissed at the blatant Racism)

BOB (Joe) returns with platters of food for your group

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, ok, good

Indigo: Thanks!

Thistle: By swindling people?

Indigo: digs into his food happily

Thistle: Wait who is Joe anyways? I meet him before and forget or is he new?

BOB (Peny) well she has money

Talwin: Call me if you need me

Talwin: Walks to the Door

BOB (Penny) He has been around, mostly doing basics and cleaning

Thistle: (LINK)

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

Michael (Talwin): Link NOT APPROVED

Thistle: Huh. Anyways, back to that priestess. Where's she trying to set up anyways? Next door or somethin'?

Carissa (Thistle): (lol)

BOB (Miller) She is right there, go ask her your self Thistle

BOB (Miller) you always try to find a way around just DOING it

BOB (Miller) go for it

Thistle: Penny said not to talk so much. Which I assumed meant not her.

Thistle: *not to her

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Link approved.

BOB (Miller) so Licornah tell me about this Silvermoon place,

Thistle: Pffft look who's talking, Old Man.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sorry Michael, gotta vote against you on that one

BOB (Miller) what brings you to Redfern Lake instead?

Licornah: Silvermoon is a very large city, it's a melting pot of multiple races and home to several deities and their churches.

BOB (Miller) Well lots of places have lots of churches, have you see Loosend?

BOB (Miller) More churches there than you can shake a stick at

Bixi Fizzlebang: Why would you shake a stick at a church?

Licornah: I've never been to that place

Indigo: laughs

Licornah: What church is your priestess friend Miller?

BOB AND (&(*&(*& Me I just over wrote the original map for Old Man Millers including the cellar

Lisa (Indigo): thought you did that last week

Talwin: (Sorry bob :). Having bad luck this week.)

BOB No, I had the cellar all ready for you to see tonight with the contrast of old and new but went to go load it and typed the new name onto the map instead of search

Michael (Talwin): (Sorry. I think my Alt key is sticking. I'm switching out now)

BOB Just moving on

Lisa (Indigo): yup

Lisa (Indigo): priestess question

BOB (Miller) to Licornah, She is not really a friend, but she has good funds, so that is always a nice addition

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): hug emoji

BOB (Miller) She is a priestess of Carolina

BOB (LINK)

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

Lisa (Indigo): I was expecting a link to sweet caroline :)

BOB (Miller) she is just so... insistent

BOB (Miller) Not everyone needs to learn you know?

Michael (Talwin): (I'm reading sorry. Just a omment, keep going though.)

BOB (Miller) But then she is so celebrating for everyone's little gains

BOB (Miller) and then you need more donations to celebrate the training, and build the schools and

BOB (Miller)

BOB (Miller)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hmmm

BOB (Miller)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): sus

Michael (Talwin): (Did you make this one up all by yourself bob? I never can get over how cool some of these backstoreis are)

BOB (Miller) just

Licornah: :: frowns :: I see

BOB wary smile thank you Michael

Carissa (Thistle): (that doesn't sound humble)

Talwin: (Wasn't being sacastic. No need for a wary smile :) )

BOB LOL no was supposed to be warm

Michael (Talwin): haha

BOB and yes to Carissa also looking at the descriptoin

BOB and for Lorie having her thoughts

Michael (Talwin): (Yes, this sounds more like a con artist to me. Would anyone of us have that kind of knowledge though?)

Michael (Talwin): (This is a very different prinicple then what we just saw. More like a trickster or bandit loving god)

BOB and this is where you as a group get to decide how much of a side trek this becomes for you, add it to the list of things you want to check out at some point in the future? deal with now? or just sleep tonight and head out on the road in the morning and let the people of Redfern Lake deal with it on their own

Lisa (Indigo): goddess page says lawful good

Lorie (Licornah): (It's not everyday you find a priestess of Carolina, thankfully)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Idk, doesn't sound like her goddess would like her scrounging up money like that, she should be selling stuff she made, no?

Michael (Talwin): Yeah, but this...doesn't seem to be what is happening. I'm fine letting it go, but I in real life HATE people like this

Talwin: But she's not teaching crafts, or selling> She

BOB grins, I will be sure to find NPCs to irritate you in the future Michael as needed

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, we don't need anymore irritating NPCs

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We have Yout

Carissa (Thistle): (not sure who is Kaygun to know anyways)

Talwin: She's just saying "Belieive" and getting them drunk enough to lose their faculties and steal. We should check for mental stuff too.

Michael (Talwin): DAMMIT

Michael (Talwin): I'm trying OOC I'm sorry. I just get excited and type faster and faster

Lorie (Licornah): (well, she's probably selling... I'm not sure who in the group would be interested though)

Lisa (Indigo): has anyone talked to her? I might have issed it

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Depends on what she's selling?

Lisa (Indigo): missed

Carissa (Thistle): only Yout

Michael (Talwin): I think I missed it

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yout tried to out-trick her with his coin

Michael (Talwin): Well, it probably would have been funny LOL

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): After hearing Thistle be told to be quiet, Bixi's not about to head over there and start a conversation, but I am curious if she IS selling anything

Michael (Talwin): Or started a riot

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I need a Branwyn right now lol

Carissa (Thistle): up to us if we want to care

Michael (Talwin): You have a Talwin who would glady find a reason to burn down an inn

Carissa (Thistle): Miller doesn't seem too distressed and Redfern isn't part of Dragon Fen

Lisa (Indigo): Indigo is eating but wouldn't want to chase her off without talking to her

Michael (Talwin): ....I mean...You aren't wrong

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I feel like we should at least have a conversation with her before we decide how much of a threat she is

Carissa (Thistle): go for it

Bixi Fizzlebang: Excuse me, priestess, would you mind telling me a little about your goddess and what you're doing here? I'm always interested in learning!

Bixi Fizzlebang: And Miller, is this inn haunted by any chance?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Indigo, how's the stew?

BOB (Priestess) Haunted! That would be exciting!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi casts "question barrage"

BOB (Priestess) are you looking for any haunts in particular?

Michael (Talwin): It's Super Effective!

BOB (Penny) I have not seen any ghosts

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Anything that makes a good story!

Carissa (Thistle): (lol)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Anything that makes a good story!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, Michael

BOB (miller) Not since Indigo took care of those wererats

Bixi Fizzlebang: Are wererats ghosts?

BOB (Miller) and those dragons

Bixi Fizzlebang: ARE DRAGONS GHOSTS????

BOB (Miller) Sorry I do not think you are supposed to know about that

Michael (Talwin): (80's Record Drop Screech)

BOB (Priestess) You do not need to worry about dragons, they are far away and not that dangrous

BOB (Miller) snorts

Bixi Fizzlebang: You know where EVERY dragon is?

Indigo: Good stew!

BOB (Priestess) Dragons are immensly powerful creatures, they have little concern for us humans, and .... others

BOB (Penny) Thank you Indigo

BOB (Miller) Indigo are you going to stay around now?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not sure I like the way you say others. Does your goddess not like gnomes?

BOB (Priestess) I am ... accepting of gnomes and elves and other ... people

BOB (Priestess) Everyone who wants to learn and grow

Carissa (Thistle): (she a dragon?)

Michael (Talwin): Rumbles, Eyes quinting slightly. Tone Wary. "Whom did you say your goddess was?"

Michael (Talwin): Sigh

Talwin: Let me Retype

Bixi Fizzlebang: If I share a piece of cheese with you, will you sit down with me and explain why you are here, what work you are doing?

BOB (Priestess) I like that there are gnomes who have made a life of crafting gems

Bixi Fizzlebang: offers a piece of cheese

Talwin: Rumbles, Eyes Squiniting slightly. Tone Wary "Whom did you say your goddess was again?"

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm trying to learn to craft books!

BOB (Priestess) Of course I will, Penny here make very good cheese, she is an excellent example to follow

Bixi Fizzlebang: What do you craft?

Bixi Fizzlebang: And what are you collecting money for?

BOB (Priestess) I like to draw, but I also feel my best craft is to help mend people's souls

Bixi Fizzlebang: And aren't there any jobs you could do to get that money instead of asking rowdy drunk people?

BOB (Priestess) I find that if I bring a crowd of people together, or find a crowd, that I can help work them into a giving mood

Indigo: I think so Miller. Branwyn was really upset she lost so much time with her kids. She doesn't want to do that again

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... I'm not asking for a demonstration here JUST TO BE CLEAR, my soul is good, but I'm just curious, intellectually, how would you mend one that wasn't?

BOB (Priestess) and thenI can use those freely given funds to help others who are in need,

BOB (Priestess) I could purchase the goods your gnomish jewelers make for example with those funds

Bixi Fizzlebang: How do you find those in need? How do you decide who needs things and what they need?

Bixi Fizzlebang: So... you just give them false confidence in their skills or?

BOB (Miller) I am sorry she was gone so long, the Wastes were growing well, and now they seem to be a bit stagnant

BOB (priestess) I find those who want to show off their craft and then give those crafts to those who are in need

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's good for someone if someone doesn't buy their things when they're still learning! It helps them find the motivation to keep improving!

BOB (Miller) It is good that Snee has done such a fine job along Farmers Turn, and Hourglass has been surprising

Bixi Fizzlebang: And we always make sure our people are taken care of, they don't starve for learning

BOB (Priestess) Do you want people to ignore your lesser works and not pay attention to you until you are a master craftsman?

BOB (priestess) You are a book maker you said? perhaps I should help you with that craft?

Talwin: It allows other people to purchase things they not otherwise would be able to. A rough table is better then no table at all

Bixi Fizzlebang: They don't ignore them. People with lesser income buy the lesser works. They're still good, even if they're not great

Bixi Fizzlebang: Exactly

Bixi Fizzlebang: Talwin gets it

BOB (Priestess) And I agree with you Talwin,

TMO: (back)

BOB (Priestess) It is always better to have something you created than something you bought

Carissa (Thistle): (yo)

BOB (Priestess) But not everyone can create someting of worth

Michael (Talwin): Raises eyesbrows skeptically. "You seem to agree with everything. Words are circular around this topic it seems"

TMO: (they lasted a lot longer than I expected. Kids...)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Anyway, I don't have time to learn books from you, we've got to be on our way soon, but I have some great mentors back at the estate, appreciate the offer though

Michael (Talwin): GODDAMITT. That was IC> I"m not typing that again

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Just click and drag

Carissa (Thistle): (arrow up on your keyboard should autofill previous written text)

Bixi Fizzlebang: shrugs

Talwin: Raises eyesbrows skeptically. "You seem to agree with everything. Words are circular around this topic it seems"

Michael (Talwin): Oh my god. I love you all. I dind't know it could do that

Bixi Fizzlebang: If they don't make something of worth, they improve or find something more suited to them

BOB (Priestess) You are not saying anything that I disagree with so far

TMO: just shout real loud into your microphone "Repeat last command!"

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

BOB (Priestess) if you were to say, LIfe should be easy and people should just lay about and relax" then we would have a disagreement

BOB (Priestess) See Bixi understands

Indigo: That would be nice

Indigo: grins

Michael (Talwin): ...it's not working TMO

Bixi Fizzlebang: I think it's nice that you want to support local artisans, but I'm not sure I agree with the way you're doing it. But that's not my choice, so

Michael (Talwin): :)

Bixi Fizzlebang: shrugs again

BOB (Priestess) looks over at Indigo,

BOB (Priestess) do you prefer to lounge and live off of other's work rather than create on your own?

TMO: (try yelling "Alexa! Play Judas Priest!" instead? That's always worked for me)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I see nothing suspicious here

Indigo: I do enough work that laying around for a while sounds nice

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You mean "Alexa, play "Call Me Maybe!"

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Michael (Talwin): Don't tempt me

BOB (Miller) To Licornah, so are you sleeping in the common room with everyone? I could offer you a more private place to recline

Bixi Fizzlebang: I've never met anyone just lounging around living off other people's work... but... is that what you're doing, Priestess?

Bixi Fizzlebang: What are you making?

BOB ({Priestess) I am making everyone better

Bixi Fizzlebang: shrugs

Bixi Fizzlebang: Sounds like that's between you and your goddess

Michael (Talwin): Cuts of a laugh at Bixi's comment about lounging

Bixi Fizzlebang: To decide

Bixi Fizzlebang: Thank you for talking with me

BOB (Priestess) our church has been growing so I believe that I am on the right path

Raelynn: Where is your church?

BOB (Priestess) Thank you Bixi, I do hope you get to create your book soon

Bixi Fizzlebang: gladly steps aside to let Raelynn talk.

BOB (priestess) to Raelynn, down the road a bit

Raelynn: Ah.

Carissa (Raelynn): (she really doesn't have anything nice to say, lol)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi doesn't either, after that lol

Raelynn: mentally crosses Redfern Lake off her list for her shop

BOB (Priestess) I have been helping to build up our church in Billstone

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Preistess thinks she's all that

Carissa (Raelynn): (and a bag of chips)

Carissa (Raelynn): (Here's why swindling people and being lazy is okay but ONLY if I do it!)

Indigo: So Miller what new?

Lisa (Indigo): what's

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: should we this priestessess faith?

BOB (Miller) Laughs, Indigo, new sense when?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: See if her goddess will save her if we try to craft her some new scars?

BOB (Miller) I am happy with my new building

Indigo: I dunno. Lately.

Indigo: Yeah what happened? I miss the long bar

BOB (Miller) about 3 years ago the hobgoblins stormed through, and fought with some strange beasts on their side,

BOB (Miller) Weird half man half something, they were horrible

Michael (Talwin): Whisper Mentally "Don't tempt me. I saw people like this all the time. Swindling press-ganged mercenaries of everything in the name of some cause or another. Desperate people become desperate animals in the end."

BOB (Miller) then the bullywugs swarmed

Indigo: Minotaurs?

Indigo: man and bulls?

Talwin: Whisper Mentally "Don't tempt me. I saw people like this all the time. Swindling press-ganged mercenaries of everything in the name of some cause or another. Desperate people become desperate animals in the end."

BOB (Miller) no no, these were more like pigs? and Men?

Indigo: Pig men?

Indigo: Never seen one of those

Indigo: Huh

BOB (Miller) we lost the Inn and about half of the town

BOB so I rebuilt again

Indigo: Who fought them off?

BOB but I did not have the benefit of Branwyn's largess, so we built a bit smaller this time

Carissa (Raelynn): (Pig men? TMO's new character???)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I feel your desire to keep the peace for your friends, and I accept that, but oh, we could teach her such a lesson.

BOB (Miller) Su did an amazing job, it was heroic until the end

Indigo: Who is that?

TMO: (my minecraft skin is King Pigman, but that's as far as it went)

BOB (Miller) Jistille did not send anyone

Talwin: Sighs Internally. We deal with this petty shit now so that we can splatter on the battlefield. I agree it sucks. You never know though. (Thinks Hopefully). Maybe she'll send theives or something after us and we can tie it to her somehow.

BOB (Miller) remember the wife of Johann?

Talwin: (To Sword)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Went, past tense. The future is still open!

Indigo: The tulip farmer?

BOB (Miller) laughs with Indigo, no I have no idea who that is, no flowers around here at least

BOB (Miller) REmember Johann? that huge man.... his wife,

BOB (Miller) They lived on the lake

BOB (Miller) he drowned

Indigo: Not much

BOB (Miller) She died from the bullywugs

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: The slight vibration of the sword, that Talwin hadn't noticed until it stopped, stops. The sword is disappointed.

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Bullywugs?

BOB (Miller) They had a place near the old blacksmith shop that Jill owned

Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): dang, that's supposed to be Bixi

Indigo: Okay ...

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bullywugs?

BOB (Miller) after she moved to Jillistle then someone else took over, but Ben never did much good

BOB (Miller) now We have Ulter, but he seems to be learning more,

BOB (Miller) I have to admit that the priestess does have something about helping people learn

Talwin: {To Sword} Pat the handle possessively. I know I know. Trust me, I am too. In a way, I almost like camping away from towns now. Lot more likely we get to attack something.

Indigo: looks confused since all he asked was who beat the hobgoblins and the pigmen

Indigo: Seen Brer Necholas lately?

BOB innocent

BOB (Miller) No thankfully I have not had any Brothers Round here lately

Indigo: Too bad

BOB (Miller) chuckles you were always better with them than I am

TMO: *busts through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man*

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lolll

BOB (Miller) First breakfast at 6, did you want Penny to make you something more for the road?

Michael (Talwin): LOL. Again, took me just a second longer then normal to get an obvious referene. Sigh

Indigo: That would be great!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Indigo, say yes!

Indigo: Thank you!

Bixi Fizzlebang: grins with relief

BOB (Miller) I will leave you to it

Bixi Fizzlebang: Thank you sir. Miller. Old man. Whatever name you prefer

BOB The Priesetess goes upstairs to her room

BOB you have two other rooms, they each hold 4 the rest would be here in the common room

BOB push tables aside etc.

Indigo: puts the chests in one of the rooms

Indigo: and goes to sleep in the common room

Indigo: Ladies can have the beds

BOB time to talk about the road ahead both IC and OOC

BOB you have the map for where you are going towards Loosend

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks around, not sure if she is included in "the ladies" or if that just means "the elves"

Michael: So....what should we do?

Lorie (Licornah): (I can sleep on the floor, I'm used to sleeping outside at home)

Carissa (Raelynn): (four guys four girls all good there)

BOB Each square on that map (Leg One ) is 6 miles, so two squares walking per day, 4 squares with the wagon and horses

Lisa (Indigo): each room sleeps 4 so Bixi, Rae, Licornah and Thistle can take one

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, that's a silly way to divide things up, there's no way all those elves are straight.

BOB LOL

BOB brb

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Carissa (Raelynn): lol

Lisa: I don't really have any big thoughts. I've made this trip a bunch of times. It's roads to loosend and we roll for encounters and just hope to roll high so we make good time

BOB b

Michael: Alright. Then I'm cool with that :)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sounds good to me

Lisa: don't kill toll booth workers :)

BOB chuckles

Lisa: Fritz did that on this route wasn't it?

BOB yeap

Lisa: believe the toll booth :)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Heck, we should be tipping them. Running a toll booth on a route full of burning inns and hobgoblins... they're probably not paid enough

Michael: haha

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): plus some zealots

BOB I will leave it to others to read the history of Skull Church and why Hobgoblins might be relevant now

BOB But it is night

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I will leave it to others to tell me if I have to read that or if I can get by with Bixi's ignorance

Raelynn: taking more territory?

BOB you have your rooms

Carissa (Raelynn): (oops)

BOB and you are safe and can do healing

Lisa: before sleep would be good

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, learned that one last time

Carissa (Raelynn): (Bixi, Howard, Rae are down a little. Indigo and Licornah a lot)

Lisa: Licornah and Indigo are heavily wounded

BOB Bixi would maybe know some of it from her history lessons at home

Lisa: Howard can sleep it off

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Does Bixi seem like the type who pays attention during lessons to you?

Licornah: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 3]

Carissa (Raelynn): we can burn the spells if we need but just putting together priority list

BOB Exactly my point

Licornah: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 1]

Heal [1] -> [to Licornah]

Michael: Oh no. I'm afraid I have to go AFK for about 15 min. I'm so sorry. I'll be back ASAP

Licornah: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 1]

Heal [1] -> [to Licornah]

TMO: (saw this big purple thing move across my screen out of the corner of my eye and almost swatted my monitor across the room)

Carissa (Raelynn): lol

BOB LOL

Carissa (Raelynn): (perfect and few to spare if we still needed it)

Lisa: talwin is down 2 but should sleep that off

TMO: (you dare try to tempt a holy woman?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I said I won't!

BOB I am trying to give you multiple options

BOB both the CT and the Party Sheet have good functions on them

Carissa (Raelynn): (Party Sheet is good for visual, I think CT is better for nitty gritty)

Carissa (Raelynn): (it states how far down on CT but I like that there is a health bar on PS)

BOB still trying to solve the size issue

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): that's what she said

The date is Lad____se, 21st Kye (Late Winter), 357 SKR

BOB Indigo gets a good breakfast to rebuild

Howard Plum: Detect Magic

Howard Plum: Magic Missile

Howard Plum: Magic Missile

Howard Plum: Magic Missile

Lisa (Howard Plum): says I can't add spells to memorize - am in preparation view

Lisa (Howard Plum): says I have no more spell slots

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, mine has the wrong amount of slots too

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Always has

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Just tried again, still no dice

Howard Plum tried to memorize a spell but had with no more spell slots left.

Lisa (Howard Plum): the slot numbers are right for me at the top but can't change spells for the day

BOB checking

Howard Plum tried to memorize a spell but had with no more spell slots left.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nevermind, I fixed it lol. Just had to change the numbers. I feel dumb.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ALL THESE MONTHS

Howard Plum: Taking long rest.

BOB Try now Lisa

Lisa (Howard Plum): nope

Howard Plum tried to memorize a spell but had with no more spell slots left.

Lisa (Howard Plum): I try to click on the arrows to adjust the number and get an error

Howard Plum: Taking long rest.

Howard Plum tried to memorize a spell but had with no more spell slots left.

Lisa (Howard Plum): no spell slots left

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi Fizzlebang cast a spell NOT memorized.

Lisa (Howard Plum): Caroline priestess would hate all Howard's lounging around

TMO: want me to try to take a look over Discord?

Howard Plum memorized Magic Missile

Howard Plum memorized Magic Missile

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): LOL

BOB fixed

Lisa (Howard Plum): thank you!

BOB added three Magic Missle and 1 Alarm

BOB but can obviously change that

TMO: there, all better now! All it took was the threat of me coming over there.

TMO: Glad I could hep!

Lisa (Howard Plum): :D

BOB When you go to the Combat mode you (at least I can) uncheck the number of spells used in Spell Slots and then you can memorize them to fill them up again

BOB I have them all unchecked now

Lisa (Howard Plum): in my combat view they are blank even though I have spells memorized

BOB go on and cast one

BOB it shoudl tick off one box

Lisa (Howard Plum): the checked boxes means you cast one?

BOB yes

Lisa (Howard Plum): not intuitive - to me anyway

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I had to click over to another mode for it to "remember" it, but it finally worked

Lisa (Howard Plum): thought it meant you had that many

Howard Plum: okay ... well that is good to know :)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): My checked boxes means I have them memorized. For mage anyway.

BOB The number of open buttons is how many you have

BOB As you cast it shoud tick off a button

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Priest is blank because I haven't cast any yet. Yes?

BOB is how I understand

BOB yes to Lemon

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): cool

Howard Plum: [INIT] [MOD:Wall of Sand][Reaction Adj: 0] [d10 = 7]

Howard Plum: Dimension Door

BOB Yeap Dimension Door has a check now

Howard Plum: Magic Missile

BOB and now it does not

BOB good to go

BOB Everyone is on the new Dry Road Map

Lisa (Howard Plum): I removed them because it was practice

BOB the grid is there temporarily

Lorie (Licornah): I still see the inn, will switch

BOB 5 foot squares

BOB so for all the humans and elves is right, just not for Indigo and Bixi

BOB Try moving on this map please want to be sure I set the movement up properly

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nah, it's good, I accept the growth spurt.

BOB sigh

BOB Well leaving the grid up for now, so you know 5 foot per square

BOB Need to figure out why movement changes from map to map

Lisa (Indigo): ok

BOB it was toggled on and worked for the Inn but not here

Michael: I'm sorry I'm still on phone with Client. I am hurrying

Lisa (Indigo): cuz we need it here and not at the inn?

BOB wry grin

BOB Morning you are heading west on Farmers Turn to Billstone, then turning north and going to Loosend on the Dry Road

BOB so about 6 miles to Billstone

BOB one check

Indigo: TMO rolls ourencounters this morning?

BOB I am good with that

BOB TMO

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Let's Go TMO, Let's Go! (Chanted to the tune of the chant we do at school when it's time to go inside from the playground.)

TMO: sure. d20?

BOB yes please

TMO: [d20 = 15]

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yay!

TMO: sorry for delay, I was entering the information of Archduke Dispater of Dis, Lord of the Second. ;)

BOB So you make it to town easlily

BOB I have a map for Dis

BOB As you enter Billstone you see a prosperous town at the crosssroads of two of the major paths through Drillian

BOB This is where you could purchase any adventuring gear you need

BOB heading west takes you deeper into Drillian without going into the deep swamps

BOB North takes you towards Loosend and out of The Mist

BOB which is where you are heading

BOB anything you want to look for here? or just keep moving?

Lisa (Indigo): yup up and out of the Mist

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is there a plant shop?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

Lisa (Indigo): What was that priestess' name? her church is here - not that I want to go

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't think we asked her name

BOB You did not ask her name

BOB There is a large Kayugan church here

Lisa (Indigo): ok

Lisa (Indigo): no kayugens any more

BOB ok

Lisa (Indigo): it is some foreign religion now

Lisa (Indigo): unless you bring Jenn back

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If there's a plant shop I want to go roll a botany in there and see if there's anything useful

BOB smile

BOB Yes for Bixi

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): "Hey, I'm at the tavern. Are there any girls there????"

Lisa (Indigo): oh wait Howard is Kayugan

BOB not a plant show but an apocathary

Bixi Fizzlebang: (LINK)

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-leYc4oC83E&t=13s">(LINK)</a>

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 13]

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Whatever useful plant that gets me, I want to buy it.

BOB Bixi can find several plants to make broth with for misc herbal remedies

Licornah: Are there any elven temples here?

BOB will cost about 8 silver total

BOB No elves local here

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hey, Talwin, can I borrow some money. I seem to have left mine inside a scroll.

BOB The only elven shrines in Drillian that you know of is what Shi built in Dragon Fen with Branwyn

Lisa (Indigo): let's say we split the hobgoblin gold and everyone is carrying 10 gp in their pockets

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Fantastic. How does that break down into silver? 100 per?

Lisa (Indigo): for little stuff so you don't have to ask

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or are we not metric?

Bixi Fizzlebang: buys the plant stuffs

BOB (LINK)

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

Lisa (Indigo): 10 sp is 1 gp

BOB Coins page

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ah, ok, thanks

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): TMO, math. I had 10gp and I spent 8 silver

Licornah: :: opts to stay with the group and takes it in ::

Michael: OK. finally. I am back. Anything immedietly need done or can I read real quick

Indigo: You can see the elven temple place when we get to Loosend

Indigo: Know they have places there

BOB You are in Billstone Michael, Bixi needs help with converting coinage

Michael: OK. What's the exchange rate?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): This is Tokyo all over again

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Michael: And who am I dealing with?

BOB page is up there

Lisa (Indigo): 9 gp and 2 silver left

Michael: Sigh. OK. Bixi I can be muscle

BOB 10 sp to 1 gp

Michael: Remember, I stuck about 10 in my boot of GP

BOB Yes to Michael Lisa confirmed that for everyone

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Thank you!

Michael: No problem. Take it we were robbed, but eh

Michael: One second. Getting into C

BOB and a basic farmer pays Branwyn about 6 to 11 GP in taxes every year

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We weren't... yet.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Dang, Branwyn raking it in

BOB that is Countess to you

BOB grins

Talwin: How much do we need everyone. Ill convert what is necessary"

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, even OOC?

BOB That was all

Lisa (Indigo): we built their homes and farms

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I want to pick up rocks too

Michael (Talwin): (Countess Lisa to you Lemon :) )

BOB unless there are other things to purchase

BOB and LOL Michael

Lorie (Licornah): :: checks her bag to ensure there are components and rations ::

BOB Does Bixi need any other components? Howard?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know, do I ?

Talwin: Slyly takes out three gold pieces as he readjusts armor, careful to maintain a low profile.

BOB Depends on what you plan on casting

Lisa (Indigo): he should be good - he doesn't have the kinds of spells Bran has to keep up with

BOB Lorie and Carissa both do priest spells too, but it is all on your list for spells, each one lists what you need

Talwin: Covers the crest. Looks more like a mercenary.

BOB Like crickets for a sleep spell, etc

BOB or Howard has a prism for one of his spells

Lisa (Howard Plum): not howard

Michael (Talwin): (So...just go up and go "MoneyLender! Your best Exchange Rate!"?)

BOB you have your normal things

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Um, a bit of fleece?

BOB but consumables you might want to replenish

BOB exchange rates are the same Michael no worries there

BOB Lemon just wanted to check the math on it

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): First time spending money! Feeling like a grown up!

BOB but now that you are ready with numbers, you can make an enounter check Michael

Talwin: Ok

BOB and I will get that ready as you finish shopping

Talwin: [d20 = 14]

BOB Ok

BOB so you shop and then make it to the Medipop Palace before miday

TMO: I'mma gonna head to bed. Thanks for letting me audit the game. It was very nice, not feeling any pressure to join in.

BOB HUGS to TMO

Michael (Talwin): Night TMO! :)

BOB Thank you for being here

Lisa (Indigo): Goodnight TMO :)

TMO: glad to be back (-ish)

Michael (Talwin): (Aw man. Take a bit of time. Sometimes burnout is real :( )

Lorie (Licornah): (night)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): TMO if you have some time this upcoming week and want to take a look at my inventory and help me sort it out, I'd appreciate it. Probably no free time on my end until next weekend to fix it, but I would gladly take some notes

BOB so any last minute shopping for gear type stuff

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Goodnight TMO!

Lisa (Indigo): we are flying through these lands

TMO: (yeah, I've done burnout before, fortunately not with gaming, it ain't nice)

Michael (Talwin): (How much is a horse)

BOB then when you are at the Palace you can get any high end gear, top quality dresses, etc.

TMO: (about 3 cows)

Michael (Talwin): (Lol)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): TOP QUALITY DRESSES?????

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): NOW you have my interest

BOB 75 gold for a riding horse Michael

'TMO' disconnected

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How much for a top quality dress?

Michael (Talwin): Thank you. Helps me gauge pricing

BOB Can you see that? go to Records-> Items -> search for Horse

BOB that should be available to you

Talwin: Not seeing it but holy Fudge, when I do get it working, that is BADASS

Lisa (Indigo): you want to take the horse on the boat?

BOB for Lemon 30 GP for a nice dress for a ball

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): "Caulk the wagon and ford the river?"

Michael (Talwin): (No, just trying to gauge pricing of the area. Horses are important, thus it helps me gauge pricing)

Lisa (Indigo): gnome size half off!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Dang, so reasonable

Michael (Talwin): Hm. I just see the Knarr. I'll tinker with it later.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, same, I don't see anything else

Michael (Talwin): I don't want to hold up game. Sorry.

BOB and funny you should mention it Michael, I have a Store piece for the Party Sheet that you will be able to shop in soon, I can adjust various shops for prices based on scarity, etc

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm going to have to head out in a bit as well. MIL leaves on Wednesday, no curfew next week

Michael (Talwin): Shit bob. Once I finally get all this in my brain, I love this so much more then Klooge (god rest it's hardworking soul)

BOB Very glad for you on both ideas Lemon

Lorie (Licornah): (night)

Michael (Talwin): Night! Thanks for being in! :)

BOB so Lorie you are next up for encounter rolls

BOB as you head north past the Palace

Lisa (Indigo): Goodnight Lemon!

Licornah: [d20 = 13]

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have maybe another 10-15, just a pre-warning, as I might leave with little notice, depending when she heads to the bed area.

BOB Anyone can ask Indigo about what the palace is and why you might want to stop or not

Bixi Fizzlebang: What's this fancy place?

BOB and then afterwards I have your next check ready

Indigo: That? That's the Medipop palace. There one of the important families here.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's all just their HOUSE?

Indigo: Their own estate. Their daughters get to compete for Queen and stuff

Bixi Fizzlebang: That's all just their HOUSE?

Indigo: Oh yes. they've been around for couple hundred years or something

Bixi Fizzlebang: Compete? Do they all have the same size nose or something?

Indigo: laughs

Indigo: The families all put their daughters up and the current Queen chooses her sucessor

Image: Leg One for Searching for Alexandria

Indigo: There's some system or something

Michael (Talwin): (I LOVE Indigo. "There's ...some system or somethign...")

Bixi Fizzlebang: That's bizarre. Do you know them personally?

Indigo: Why we had the last civil war. Queen Wilimina wasn't supposed to get picked and the other families started a war

Bixi Fizzlebang: Like on a friendly level?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Will they give us cheese?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Do their ancestors haunt the place?

Indigo: We met them a couple times. I don't really know them know them

Talwin: Shrugs.

Indigo: probably they have a ghost or two

Michael (Talwin): We can always just continue on our way if you want to ignore them

Bixi Fizzlebang: If only we had time to investigate!

Indigo: I don't think it's the kind of place you ask for cheese at though

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, that's too bad

Michael (Talwin): (Is this where I have to start worrying about causing a diplomatic incident if I murder someone as a Knight of the Protectorate bob? ...Bob?.....BOB?) lol

Indigo: You don't ask people in palaces to feed you. You just bow and hope they offer

Talwin: Branwyn didn't do that to me when I first met her?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Sounds stuffy

Talwin: Frowns

Talwin: But that does sound about right for the most part

Talwin: After a moment of thought

Indigo: Last time we saw them I think they were telling Branwyn she had to get rid of the bandits on the road

Talwin: "Or they just kill you for something"

Bixi Fizzlebang: Did she?

Indigo: Yeah and we built our own road

Talwin: well, we did get rid of some bandits on the way here. Maybe that will help?

Lorie (Licornah): (unless they are their bandits)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well good, guess we can move along then. They won't be after us.

Lisa (Indigo): can we stop by? do people want to?

Michael (Talwin): I mean. Not really

Lisa (Indigo): not much to say except hello we're not dead

Michael (Talwin): Eyes on Prize at the moment

BOB brb last refill

Indigo: No they wouldn't do anything to us for riding by

Indigo: Most estates like Branwyn. Or pretend to because of the Queen

Michael (Talwin): (Also we tend not to be complete douchenozzles to people unless they really really deserve it. Or if they ignore Talwin apparantly. But that was just ONE time. And I had a shitty day. lol.)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can't help it that they're douchenozzles to me first. Everyone literally and figuratively looks down on gnomes here. Starting to think BOB has some personal biases he needs to work out.

Michael (Talwin): Nah. He's a softy. People in here are just like in the real world. Assholes

Michael (Talwin): Elves get it pretty bad too right Carissa?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm still waiting for the NPC who is ACTUALLY helpful and nice

Lorie (Licornah): (That's Gerry pretty much right?)

Michael (Talwin): Jilly, Willhemia, .....some other people who I probably met but can't remember their names......

Lisa (Indigo): Miller was nice

Michael (Talwin): He was an ass

BOB b

Michael (Talwin): Well

Michael (Talwin): Hm

Michael (Talwin): Let me think on that

BOB and Laughs with Lemon

Carissa (Raelynn): (sorry distracted, elves haven't gotten it too bad; mostly they're in awe of them)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nah, Gerry also makes weird gnome comments, I just have a soft spot for him for some reason

Talwin: Hey bob, when we were in the other major city when I first started, what was their deal? They hated greeks or somethign?

BOB So heading north of the Medipop Palace

Lisa (Indigo): the kayugans hate the greeks

Michael (Talwin): So yeah. Everyone hates everyone else for something or other. :)

BOB That was Dryads Lair the head of the Kayugan Church

Lorie (Licornah): (I miss being a Greek priest)

BOB So effectively Vatican City not liking Hindus

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, I thought it said geeks, and I thought you meant RL, and I was like, "yeah, that sounds about right."

Michael (Talwin): Exactly. So, you see the parrallels. Now let's write a Psychology Disseration about Bobs game and social structures.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lolll

Michael (Talwin): We'll win a nobel prize!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, I'm heading out. Goodnight friends!

Lisa (Indigo): Bob just likes to create conflict

Michael (Talwin): Night Lemon! Great to see you :)

'Lemon' disconnected

Lisa (Indigo): Goodnight!

BOB But it is now Carissa's turn to roll for Encounters

Michael (Talwin): Roll magically Carissa!

Lorie (Licornah): (night)

Michael (Talwin): Or hack. Either or

Raelynn: [d20 = 20]

BOB there you go

Carissa (Raelynn): (and goodnight! good luck!)(

BOB So you leave Medipop Palace and make it north to the border of the Estate

BOB the guards there ask you if you are transporting any goods subject to taxation

BOB Rae can try a charisma check

Indigo: Nope

Michael (Talwin): Something something Diplomatic Immunity.

Carissa (Raelynn): (no pop up so gotta do it myself?)

BOB grins yes please

Indigo: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 17]

Raelynn: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 4]

Lisa (Indigo): just seeing if it was working

Michael (Talwin): (Also....I'm sure bob has something for it, but do we actually have anything taxable???)

Michael (Talwin): (We're clearly not traders)

Lisa (Indigo): no clue

BOB so Indigo is not quite persuasive but Rae charms the guards at the border to let your group pass through with no checks

Michael (Talwin): ...Are we allowed to know what they would have checked for Bob? Just out of curiousity fo rthe way back?

BOB and Carissa did you like the prompt all the time or did that work well for you?

Carissa (Raelynn): ?

Indigo: You should negotiate for the knarr rental Raelynn

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 8]

Raelynn: Oh, sure. I can do that.

BOB You would have to know what they are looking for Michael, meaning what is taxable in Medipop that you brought in or are taking out

Carissa (Raelynn): (sorry tired; prompt is good later in the game like now when I'm tired and distracted)

BOB and that level of detail is what the checks are for to make it easy on everyone

Carissa (Raelynn): (haven't seen enough to know which I prefer though)

BOB Good to know thanks Carissa

Michael (Talwin): Ah

BOB and so you have one more check to make

BOB Lisa you are up

Indigo: [d20 = 11]

BOB Good

Lisa (Indigo): perfect night

BOB Michael your chance you should have a prompt pop up there

Michael (Talwin): I'm confused bob. I'm sorry. What?

Talwin: So, roll?

Talwin: [SKILL] Encounter Check [d20 = 1]

BOB Do you see a prompt on your screen to roll an encounter ?

BOB excellent

Michael (Talwin): Sigh

BOB but you saw that and rolled it

Michael (Talwin): I like Manually rolling :(

Lisa (Indigo): well there goes perfect night :)

Michael (Talwin): Yeah. Sorry guys. Sigh

Carissa (Raelynn): (he hasn't said OK yet...)

Lisa (Indigo): no sorries

BOB Actually I am going to say that is your first encounter for camping/ watch

BOB we will do that first thing next week

Talwin: Thank god. Praise Bob, and I'm going to bed

Talwin: :)

Carissa (Raelynn): (so close to rhmying the whole thing)

Michael (Talwin): Night All!

BOB smiles

Lisa: Goodnight!

'Michael' disconnected

Raelynn: night all
