BOB then you spend time in town

Sharif: So no circus till next time?

Lisa: Hi Lorie!

BOB if you want to interact with the circus you stay the full day and have those encounters tonight

Lorie: I made it to Friday...it's been a week!

Lorie: How is everyone else ? :)

BOB at the end of tonight you are going to be at arriving at Mosskin Hall

BOB Life is good Lorie,

BOB HUGS hope you are still standing

BOB tomorrow I have voting training

BOB for the August elections

Lorie: Oooh!!! Can't believe it's time already

Sharif: That's cool voting can be tricky

Sharif: :p

BOB grins, I have done this since 2002

Sharif: I'm playing of course, appreciate your volunteering :)

BOB for August I am running at least 1 precinct, normally I do 10 but they seem to be confused so not sure how many this time, Plus I am on the canvassing board to verify elections, two dates for that for August

BOB and grins with Sharfi

BOB Sharif

Sharif: Nice, I think you should give us a lil talk about that experience on MMS

Lorie: I am considering working the polls this Fall, but nervous with all the retirees that usually run the place LOL

Lisa: are they giving you body armor this year?

Lorie: Paul loved your podcast with Jeff

BOB please do Lorie

Lisa: election monitoring seems like a dangerous proposition now

BOB thanks Lorie!

Lisa: so we won't get to loosend tonight?

Sharif: brb

Lorie: I feel like we've been on this road for 50/11 weeks

BOB laughs with Lisa and Lorie

BOB We are on this road for as long as you want to be

BOB Normally this road trip takes a week of game time and I do allow NPCs etc to just click it off

Lorie: I was ready to be done three weeks ago, but that's me :)

BOB smile

Lorie: I vote we make town NPCs offended and move it along

Lorie: LOL

BOB HAH

'Carissa' connected

BOB The reason we are roleplaying this whole trip out is that only Lisa and Carissa have been on this road before (TMO too but he has no character here)

BOB see just speak and she shows up

BOB Hello Carisa

BOB Carissa too

Lorie: Have any of these encounters minus the toll trolls been familar?

Lorie: Evening Carissa?

BOB Redfern Lake, the independent areas, and now Penissa are all familiar to prevous trips

'Carissa' disconnected

BOB yes the tolls have been there every time the group travels this way

BOB Which is why they recognized Talwin even if Michael did not :)

BOB The trolls were old, then they disapeared, now they are back along the southern edge of the Valoris Wood

BOB Old Man Miller is a campaign staple

BOB "I am an orphan, my mother died giving birth to my older brother "

BOB One of my better lines

Lisa: Hi carissa! :)

BOB She left

Lisa: hmmm

'Lemon' connected

BOB Hello Lemon

Lisa: I'm scared to say hello now

BOB HAH

Lisa: Don't leave Lemon!!

Sharif: back

BOB good Sharif

BOB How are you Lemon?

BOB She forgot how quick this loads now?

Lemon: I was just distracted, sorry, I'm here and I'm good! How is everyone else?

BOB Life is good

BOB As we await Michael and Carissa

BOB Bixi, Zayden, Licornah and Howard can discuss the circus potential when you are in town this evening

BOB Indigo is sleeping/napping his wounds off with Youtargim

BOB They will not really be of much help until tomorrow morning

Sharif: circus potential?

'Carissa' connected

BOB grins what are your skills? Does Zayden want to run away with the circus?

Sharif: ah ok

BOB Hello again Carissa

BOB you do have Bixi wanting to investigate the Circus and you are publishing flyers for them

Sharif: Oh yea gotta hand out flyers

BOB yeap

Carissa: Hi all!

Lisa: we gave out a couple

Sharif: Is that boar still with us?

Lisa: Hi Carissa :)

BOB Yes to Sharif

Sharif: cool

Zayden writes in his book of cool

Lemon: Yeah, BOB can't take him away now, I'm too emotionally fragile to handle losing my pet boar

BOB soft smile

Shislif (Zayden): just needed reminding why we handing out those flyers :)

Shislif (Zayden): if the boar ran away or somthing I may have declined

BOB If I can do that with a boar with only 8+ hours imagine what can happen with an NPC that spends month with the group

Carissa: You gonna kill off Yout??

BOB LOL

Lisa: you marry him?

Carissa: Plot twist: Bixi falls for him before Rae?

Lemon: Oooooh, anniversary game we need to play kiss, marry, kill about various NPCs.

Lisa: lol

Carissa: Only ones you met or including older ones?

Lemon: Older ones definitely allowed, but my answers will obviously not be great for those. But I will enjoy hearing everyone else's reasonings

BOB So you are In Character now discussing the last bits before you move to arriving at Pensissa

Carissa: I swear to all things holy!! BRB

'Carissa' disconnected

Zayden: Hey gang, how bout those bits?

Bixi Fizzlebang: bits?

Zayden: Just general bits you know, before we get into town

Zayden: There anything you'd like to discuss? Towns can be hectic if you're not prepared

Indigo: Toll booth not toll bit

Indigo: This is a small town

Zayden: Oh yea how small?

BOB (LINK)

Indigo: Like ... a little town. Not a city like Loosend

BOB Penissa a largish town with two churches, three inns, and two blacksmiths the place where the Hill Road meets the Dry Road

Zayden: Well even little towns can have dark secrets, I read that in a book once or twice

BOB (LINK)

Zayden: So how do we feel about this circus? We still need to hand out thsoe flyers

Zayden: those flyers, still waking up

Indigo: It'll give you a chance to talk to people if you want

Licornah: :: shrugs :: I'd use those flyers for fires. People who mistreat animals aren't good

Zayden: But at the cost of our word?

Zayden: we did make a deal

Indigo: Maybe Bixi should ride around town on the boar handing them out

Zayden: That does sound like a fun way to do it haha

Zayden: maybe not for boar though

Licornah: :: shrugs :: I'm just saying what I would do

BOB (LINK)

Indigo: But didn't you say only the boar was unhappy?

Zayden: I understand the sentiment

Indigo: And he's with Bixi now so it's good right?

Licornah: Isn't that enough?

Zayden: The other animals seemed to be fine with the circus

Indigo: I dunno.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I was thinking just leaving them at tavern. People who have been drinking will take and distribute them on their own, I think

Zayden: but they also seemed to have, let's say "darker" personalities

Zayden: Good point Bixi, we never specified "how" we would hand out the flyers

Zayden: So I'd say leaving a pile at a bar sounds adequate

BOB (LINK)

Indigo: There's three inns in town but that sounds good

Zayden: Cool cool yeah Inns not bars

Zayden: should we leave some at the two churches? Could have fun consequences, conservatives and circuses don't always mix...

Indigo: Many inns have taverns. Like Old Man Millers

Zayden: Well we can just drop em off wherever we're going, does anybody have business in town?

Indigo: That way you can drink and then just sleep

Indigo: grins

Zayden: that's a good combination

Zayden smiles

'Carissa' connected

Indigo: Well if we are staying for the circus we need to get a room to sleep anyway

Indigo: It's not until tomorrow

Zayden: Should we get a room for the night?

Bixi Fizzlebang: It needs to be somewhere that Knotty can be comfortable and safe. Otherwise I'm camping with hiim somewhere

Indigo: Yeah we have to or sleep outside out of town. We can't just camp in the streets

Shislif (Zayden): Do I have any musical instrument with me?

Zayden: Makes sense, is Knotty cool sleeping indoors in general?

BOB Bixi weighing the idea of the Boar traveling with you with no restraints, or staying and waiting for the circus and seeing what could happen

Indigo: sighs

Licornah: Is this town hear water? Can't we sleep near that?

BOB Zayden has any two instruments

BOB not near water

BOB at least not a river

BOB lakes in town

Shislif (Zayden): cool I can play some music at the tavern :)

BOB Drillian is two hills in a swamp

Lisa (Indigo): didn't you pick before? thought we axed the kazoo but can't remember what you picked :)

BOB yes Zayden can try to earn a few coins playing

Carissa: okay just going to have a tempermental computer tonight

BOB and we fully understand Carissa

BOB Lemon is very tempermental tonight ;P

Carissa: lol

Lisa (Indigo): sorry :(

Shislif (Zayden): When life gives you lemon...

BOB see

Shislif (Zayden): :)

Image: Penissa

Bixi Fizzlebang: Does anywhere in this town have stables that I might be able to bribe into letting Knotty stay in them?

Licornah: Can I sleep near the lake?

Zayden: have we arrived?

BOB You can guess that yes that will be available

Licornah: Since it's night and all?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What! I wasn't before, but I kind of am now, jeez.

BOB there is a quick map of the outskirts of town for you

BOB with the lake near gardens and one of the Inns nearby

BOB with farms and a church nearby also

Licornah: (What deities for the churches BOB?)

BOB Kayugan

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, we COULD guess, but hasn't some of our party been here before?

BOB (LINK)

BOB The various Estates and the religious leanings

Zayden: I think I'll stop by a tavern, see if they'd like a show, maybe get a discount on a room and meal

Zayden: Feel the need to play

Indigo: That sounds good!

BOB Yes to Lemon, Indigo (out of commission for the most part) Howard (here and able to talk) and Thistle have been in this area before [plus Talwin when Michael is in]

Zayden: Want to see if I can get a group rate?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi doesn't know anything about this town, she's relying on the group for whatever info. That's not JUST an excuse to not click 12 links and read all the things, but it's not NOT an excuse

Shislif (Zayden): No worries I'm not reading em either :)

BOB LOL

Bixi Fizzlebang: It can't hurt to try... if it doesn't work at the first one we can try a different strategy at the next one

Shislif (Zayden): just kidding I'm browsing :)

BOB They will be in the chat for your review later :P

'TMO' connected

Licornah: I will hang by the lake, it will remind me of home and I'll take a moment to give some praise and thanks.

BOB Hello TMO! Welcome to Vacation! you are joining the circus

Lisa (Indigo): the group that was here before wasn't that picky - we just show up, eat, drink and sleep usually so no we don't have a lot of details

Carissa (Thistle): Hi TMO!

Lorie (Licornah): (Hey TMO)

Lisa (Indigo): Hi TMO :)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yay, tmo!

'Michael' connected

BOB and Michael!

Zayden: Haha I just realized the name of this town

BOB in time to join the Circus!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's fine, besides, we've been gone 6 years, who knows what BOB changed in the interrim

Indigo: laughs

Lorie (Licornah): :: sharpens her stake just in case ::

Lisa (Indigo): was typing and erasing all sorts of size matters in relation to the town when that issue was brought up before. I was restraining myself

TMO: still loading, but seeing chat now

Zayden: Which of the two inns should I stop by?

Michael (Talwin): Sorry for the delay. I have arrived.

Lorie (Licornah): (Evening )

Raelynn: Which ever looks cleanest and most comfortable.

Lisa (Indigo): Hello Michael :)

Zayden: Oh three inns excuse me

BOB To be clear for everyone you are on the road it is getting late in the day and you are approaching town (Penissa) and you are making your plans for what you will do. Stay tonight is a definate, then stay a day? do the circus the second night?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Whichever will let me stable Knotty

Carissa (Raelynn): Hi Michael!

Lisa (Indigo): I don't care - whatever everyone wants to do about the circus

Zayden: Does Penissa have a stable? Perhaps near the blacksmiths?

Michael (Talwin): (Do we want to heal up before Circus? We could assassinate the ringmaster :) )

TMO: Penissa Mightier Than the Swordda

Michael (Talwin): Also Hey!

BOB LOL TMo

BOB and HAH Michael

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yes, definitely heal up, just in case. God knows what will happen at this circus.

Lorie (Licornah): (Man, I wish I was in charge of the playlist tonight... so many options)

Lisa (Indigo): only one that needs healing is Talwin

Carissa (Raelynn): we can heal up Talwin tonight with leftover spells

BOB It is the evening of the 22nd

Carissa (Raelynn): but cannot heal up Yout and Indigo until morning

BOB Indigo and Youtargim can take healing on the 23rd

Zayden: I enjoy travelling

BOB you should post them Lorie, grins

Michael (Talwin): (Whichever works best)

BOB Everyone shoudl post songs as they feel appropriate

Zayden: When we're born we travel

Indigo: Wait til we get on the river

Zayden: Ohh I like river boats

Raelynn: (LINK)

Youtargim: The water is a wonderful way to travel

Youtargim: (LINK)

Zayden: I agree

Zayden: Although I also enjoy travelling by land and air

Youtargim: (LINK)

Raelynn: (LINK)

BOB sorry for the non-OOC links

Bixi Fizzlebang: You've traveled by air?

Thistle: Being thrown doesn't count as travel by air.

Shislif (Zayden): Are there airships or dragons in this world?

Youtargim: How can you travel by air?

Youtargim: All the air to breathe is down here?

Indigo: Dirigibles

Thistle: Miranda had this cool spell that would make you fly.

Zayden: Only in my dreams, but I believe, one day, it will be possible

Indigo: Maybe we can see if you can ride in one at Dryads Lair

Indigo: Airships sometimes dock there

BOB (LINK)

Zayden: I do think the idea of an airship is a beautiful thing

Youtargim: You have seen ships flying Indigo?

Indigo: Oh we've flown in them a couple times

STUNNED

Speachless

Thistle: (LINK)

Thistle: Wait when?? Where was I???

BOB excellent Carissa

Indigo: We went to the temple of air and light and then when we went to negotiate a treaty in the Cordrawn Hills

Indigo: That was before we met you

Thistle: So why haven't we done it SINCE you met me??

Zayden: Will we be taking any airships for our current trip?

Indigo: I don't think so

Zayden: why not?

Indigo: Because we don't own one or know anyone that has one ...

Zayden: good reason

Indigo: grins

BOB Note the barely noticable sadness in Indigo's anyoen that has one....

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Bixi Fizzlebang: It sounds expensive and dangerous

Zayden: Oh, if we're going to spend the day tomorrow in town I think I'll do some fishing

Lisa (Indigo): Yes QuiFon's dream didn't exactly work out

Carissa (Thistle): He's flying in the afterlife

Zayden: Well we've travelled by land and had our lives at risk several times

Lisa (Indigo): The dwarf that wanted to fly

Zayden: I think it may seem more dangerous, but up in the clouds you avoid a lot of trouble

Thistle: Yeah but you gotta know how to fall

Zayden: Just try performing on stage, we fall plenty

Zayden snarks

Thistle: I have but I know how to stick my landing.

Thistle: grins

Thistle: (LINK)

Carissa (Thistle): (since I gotta provide my oown link apparently)

Zayden: Far better than me, I always end up bruised

Shislif (Zayden): tee hee

Zayden: How do you feel about spiders?

Thistle: Normal spiders? They're fine. Giant ones? Killer.

Zayden: Yea like normal house spiders

Carissa (Thistle): (my computer has now decided to just randomly sound like it's revving up a motorcycle)

BOB (LINK)

Thistle: Lots of spiders in the forest. Shi says I have to leave them alone, and I do because they kill the OTHER annoying bugs I hate. Like mosquitos.

BOB When you are ready to arrive in town I am ready

Talwin: (Chrome is getting harder on Graphics Cards. Might be causing an overheating. I cannot believe I'm saying this, but if you are doing youtube in the Background, you can use the evil Edge browser)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, no, her problem is foreign objects in the system

Carissa (Thistle): (nah, it either needs cleaning or a BIOS adjustment as it starts off high speed)

Michael (Talwin): (time for the annual reinstall of windows)

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): styrofoam does not agree with computer parts :P

Carissa (Thistle): (foreign object has been removed so it may just not realize it yet is my hope)

Michael (Talwin): (Sorry bob. I am ready :) )

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, ok. That seems legit then. Sometimes mine seems sentient as well

Michael (Talwin): (I take Computer Heating seriously)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And it's kind of a jerk

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Carissa (Thistle): (lol noted if this keeps acting up for who to brainstorm with!)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I am also ready I guess. But yes to sticking around for the circus unless anyone objects

Michael (Talwin): (Absolutely. We have a ringmaster to antagonize and heckle)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And one day I might need your Computer Heating assistance. I think mine overheats and bluescreens, but I can't tell if that's the reason or if it's something else. We've added more fans AND more RAM and they've both helped, but not solved the problem entirely

Zayden: Hey so does anybody want to join the circus?

Bixi Fizzlebang: With that jerk? No thanks.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I would like to go and see why Knotty was so expensive though. The tricks can't be THAT good

Licornah: I'll stay with the wagon and horses...

BOB In a democracy the Boar would lose,.... Sharif in another chat

Michael (Talwin): (Yeah, Lemon, we might need to setup a Discord session lol :) )

Zayden: I second Bixi's point

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The gossip! The slander!

Zayden: Go see what's up with the circus, but not JOIN the circus

Inn Keeper: Hello

Zayden: oh and I'll leave the flyers and whatever INN we end up staying at for the night, then we've kept our part of the bargain, honor intact

Zayden: Hello Inn Keeper!

Zayden: How are you this fine night?

Zayden checks the time

Licornah: :: strikes up a chat with the horses whilst the group is visiting the circus and inns ::

Inn Keeper: I am well thank you

BOB No Circus yet that will be tomorrow evening

Zayden: This is quite a beautiful establishment you have here Inn Keeper. May I call you Inn Keeper?

Inn Keeper: What brings you to the Twisted Branch?

Zayden: I couldn't help but notice how quiet it is in here

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Are we at the inn on this Penissa map? The one that looks like it has a room that has a door that goes right to the outside? Because if so, Bixi wants that room so she can sneak Knotty in.

Zayden: I'd like to offer my services to play music so that your customers may fully relax and have an enjoyable nights sleep

Raelynn: Um, we also want rooms for ourselves. Don't forget that, Zayden.

Brograth: Well how good are you? and what is your name?

Zayden: Oh I'm Zayden, as in THE Zayden

Brograth: OH well if you want to stay here, we could work out a deal

Brograth: Never heard of you

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes please! Preferably something with a door. *nervous laugh* always nice to have access to fresh air

Zayden: I play the Ukele and sing with a voice the Tawnee critics called "like warm honey and milk on sunday morning"

Zayden: A deal would be superb

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Totally not about smuggling my pig in no sirree

Zayden: We do need a place to stay for the night

Brograth: Hmm I wonder what warm milk and honey tastes like,

Brograth: Honey I like

Brograth: warm milk seems fresh

Talwin: I'm sorry...What?

Brograth: new and un exciting

Zayden: Oh on a cold winter night, it is a treat

TMO: (just to keep y'all informed, I'm trying to figure out exporting this module. it isn't finished, but the basics are all in it and Bob can use it if needed)

Michael (Talwin): (Which Module TMO?)

Talwin: Sideeyes Zayden, but simply watches the exchange. Ready to pay if....

BOB testing

Michael (Talwin): (It glitched out a moment bob but is back)

BOB Hmmm this works but youtube does not

TMO: (The Guide To Hell sourcebook)

Zayden: So what says you Inn Keeper, discount our room and I'll work for tips?

BOB (LINK)

Michael (Talwin): lol Bob. Been a lonnnnng time

Indigo: There are 9 of us. 8 if Licornah doesn't want to sleep inside

Zayden: How many rooms do we need then?

BOB We are negros, except Licornah,

Lorie (Licornah): (I do not... 8 is fine)

Indigo: Tell him how many we are. He knows how big the rooms are

BOB All except our accomanpist

Brograth: I can handle your group

Lisa (Indigo): ????

Talwin: Link Lisa

Zayden: Great news

Talwin: Important Context Bob

Talwin: LOL

BOB You will have to watch the link Lisa

Lisa (Indigo): I don't open the links

Lorie (Licornah): (BOB, I'm sorry... did I miss something???)

Lisa (Indigo): was WTF?

Michael (Talwin): "I am a Man of Constant Sorry, Oh Brother Where Art Though. Quote and Song"

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ummmm yeah out of context that's pretty not ok

Michael (Talwin): (Why I jumped on that pretty quick)

BOB Is a side trek/comment that needs the music to accompany it

Lorie (Licornah): (I was thinking of Latin America where Negro means something different)

Brograth: I can see how you need rooms, I can handle your group

Brograth: IF your man can sing

Lorie (Licornah): (Okay then, back to the horse chat, they have a lot to say...whew!)

Brograth: and give me three more customers

Indigo: Show him Zayden!

Zayden: I'm happy to show you i can

Thistle: Do animals count?

Shislif (Zayden): So do I roll some dice now?

Thistle: (test)

Indigo: What if we gave you circus flyers too?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): NPCs are so needy these days

Michael (Talwin): (you are fine)

Lorie (Licornah): (I see your test and raise you a quiz?)

Carissa (Thistle): (it lagged)

Michael (Talwin): (Exam?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Dang, chat is quite laggy right now

BOB So Sharif, this is where you make a check, if you suceed then you impress above and beyond, if not depending on how bad the failure is ........

Thistle: (lol Lorie

Shislif (Zayden): which dice is the check?

BOB Your Musical Instrument

Lisa (Indigo): skills tab?

BOB LOL Lorie

Zayden: [SKILL] Musical Instrument [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 9]

Lisa (Indigo): yay!

BOB Very nice

Shislif (Zayden): yay

TMO: afk

Michael (Talwin): (KK)

BOB So Zayden plays a quick tune and impresses the bar tender who lets you have rooms for the night at 80% of rate

Michael (Talwin): (Needy indeed)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can see that BOB was hoping for a failure and I do not appreciate that kind of negativity

Zayden: nice

Indigo: claps

BOB LOL with Lemon

Talwin: Smiles warmly

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): good vibes only :P

Indigo: Where can we board the horses and put the wagon?

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

BOB So you only pay 32 silver for the rooms and boarding the horses, wagon and boar

Talwin: Holy Crap!

Michael (Talwin): (OOC)

Michael (Talwin): Sorry

BOB and Zayden has the room to entertain, he gets to keep 50% of his tips

Lisa (Indigo): does that include food?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nice

BOB Yes to Lisa

Michael (Talwin): (Do I get Bed-Turn down service for staying at the Ritz Carlton???)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Too laggy to scroll... I know we saw the bartender's name, but did we ask his name yet? Did he tell us?

Michael (Talwin): (One sec while I look up rates again)

Lorie (Licornah): (It's Brograth )

Brograth: I am glad you stumbled in tonight

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, but do we know that IC?

Michael (Talwin): (Yeah, he saw us coming)

BOB yes

Indigo: How come?

Brograth: I was waiting for a large caravan from the north, they book rooms for last night and tonight, but they never showed up

Bixi Fizzlebang: Brograth... do you mind if I call you Bro? I'm just wondering what your policies are on in-house boars.

Talwin: LOL

Brograth: Boars? They are a bit stringy but still good eats, why do you ask?

Indigo: Merchant caravan?

Lisa (Indigo): we are heading north are we not?

Carissa (Raelynn): (si)

Brograth: Not sure... umm, who are you? I have not seen many halflings around these parts

Indigo: I'm Indigo

Brograth: There was someone who said he was here for "Red Cloak" and I booked it under that name

Indigo: From Dargon Fen

Michael (Talwin): (I think bob included the boar boarding in the price)

Lisa (Indigo): DRgaon

Brograth: Indigo , that is interesting

Carissa (Raelynn): (oh lovely)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, so see where I come from they are steeds and also beloved companions. Pretty normal in my culture for them to stay in the bedroom at night, almost like a pet. I know people around these parts aren't really familiar with that custom, and while it would normally be considered rude for you to tell me no, I understand the lack of understanding

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 8] [d20 = 19]

Carissa (Raelynn): (lag again)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): sigh

Brograth: There was a famous halfling called Indigo years ago, were you named after him?

Talwin: This is him

Thistle: Indigo can't be named after himself.

Indigo: Ummm I am him

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, but I figured the boar was going in the stables, and I'm trying to talk him into inside where it's safer

Indigo: Sir Indigo

Michael (Talwin): Sir Admiral Indigo

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Totally bluffing and failing

Talwin: Sir Admiral Indigo

Brograth: Oh I understand, of course your parents named you Indigo, perfectly understandable

Talwin: If you want to get techincal

Michael (Talwin): :D

Thistle: Good lord, man. It was ONLY six years/

Indigo: shows his tabard

Brograth: I imagine that many halfling boys were named after that hero

Talwin: Rolls eyes

Talwin: How does Branwyn deal with this stuff Indigo?

Indigo: I'm not a boy

BOB grins closer to 14 since Indigo traveled these roads

BOB or more

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, Indigo is getting pretty old

Bixi Fizzlebang: No offense Indigo

Michael (Talwin): (And still hits like a truck)

Michael (Talwin): :D

Indigo: I'm not old either!

Brograth: I am not sayign you are old!

Bixi Fizzlebang: You're too old to be named after yourself!

Brograth: You look no more than .... 20?

Zayden: unless there were some time travel shenanigans going on

Zayden: ...

Indigo: I'm 37

Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean... there were, but that's not the issue

Brograth: You look very good for your age Indiog

Brograth: Indigo

Talwin: Pinches the bridge of his nose between thumb and forfinger, as if desperatly wishing for a saving grace t deliver Talwin from these constant fights over who is actually a knight, admiral, or leader.

Brograth: You should be happy

Indigo: I am happy usually

Zayden: Whispers to Indigo: I think he likes you

Brograth: Glad to have you here tonight

Indigo: Thank you

Brograth: Your room includes dinner

Zayden: Nice!

Indigo: When's dinner?

Brograth: and entertainment. looks at Zayden

Zayden: What's for dinner?

Thistle: Sweet! That's all that really matters right?

Zayden: Don't worry Bro, I'll keep your patrons well entertained

Indigo: Did you give him the flyers?

Zayden: Oh Bro, don't forget the flyers

Looks at the flyers

Brograth: You are part of the circus?

Brograth: Are you sword swollers?

Zayden: Nah, we just had to make a deal to save the life of the boar

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No, but I bet you're pretty swole, Bro

Brograth: Or maybe acrobatic people?

Brograth: Life of the boar?

Zayden: We gave our word we would hand out a few flyers, should be a good show though

Brograth: You are not some weird religious cult are you?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No, we avoided that side quest

Zayden: whoa whoa whoa

Zayden: we may be weird, but we're not religious or a cult

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hey, some of us are religious!

looks at Bixi and Rae

Zayden: Well fine

Brograth: That looks like an Elf too pointing to Licornah

Zayden: we're fully weird, partially religious, and none cultish

Brograth: All Elves are nature fanatics right?

Bixi Fizzlebang: nods in agreement

Raelynn: A cult?

Talwin: Whispers to Indigo: "You have superhuman restraint. These conversations usually end up with people being lifted up by their neck."

Brograth: OH I am sorry I did not see you are an Elf too (at Rae)

Talwin: Continues Whisper "But a cult is new, even for us"

Brograth: Is there a nature cult?

Carissa (Raelynn): (he looked at Bixi and Rae?)

Brograth: (yes)

Bixi Fizzlebang: I could understand how you might think that, we are eccentric. But not a cult

Zayden: Probably, I've read there are all kinds of different cults

Brograth: (and gestured at Licornah)

Raelynn: There are religions that are nature focused, yes.

Zayden: In times of excessive suffering, cult membership goes on the rise, was the gist of it

Brograth: I tend to think of cults as small groups of dedicated people who follow a leader

Thistle: Oh! Shi met a cult once! She said they were SUPER weird.

Zayden: well I don't think we have a leader do we?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... I don't really think anyone here is a leader per se. We tend to share responsibilities

Brograth: I like the broad groups that worship the general gods and goddesses who bring us the blessings of the land

Raelynn: We're a group of adventurers. That hardly qualifies as cult.

Zayden: Sure land blessings, gotta have those

Brograth: But if you have good hard silver you can stay here

Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean, maybe Branwyn, but we don't like, blindly follow whatever she says?

Bixi Fizzlebang: My god brings the blessing of humor, which is basically the same thing

Zayden: I like that god

Brograth: Humor? You are a priest of humor?

Brograth: That is great!

Brograth: We can have you go on stage tonight!

Talwin: Talwin looks pained

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well... innocent mischief is more accurate, but kind of yes?

Brograth: Wonderful

Zayden: Stand up comedy fan bro?

Brograth: I will make sure that everyone knows that in two hours we will have two signature performers

Bixi Fizzlebang: Good-natured mischief!

Zayden: I mean Bro

Michael (Talwin): (I'm sorry, gotta be right back. Say 10 min tops)

Brograth: Zayden the muscian and Bixi the humorist

Zayden: Thanks Bro!

Zayden: Bixi would you rather have dinner before or after the show?

Brograth: Both of you get 50% of the tips

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's too bad what's his name isn't here... he could tell you about the time I pranked him with his ghost arm

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... no my humor is um... nature based. Not like jokes

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not a performer

Raelynn: How big of an audience do you expect, Brograth?

Zayden: whispers to Bixi: Don't upset him we got a great deal already

BOB Brogarth has gone off to make ready for the evenings entertainment

BOB there is a stable for Knotty and the horses

Zayden: That guy is a cool bro

Bixi Fizzlebang: whispers back, "Look, if we get 100% of the tips, I'll give it a shot, but he's offering the exact same deal he was before, and you KNOW how to perform!"

BOB no chance that knotty gets inside

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): siiiiigh

Raelynn: Bixi, you can do illusions. You've got this.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I can, but why?

BOB It is 855 I am giving you until 905 to come up with an act

BOB and GO

Zayden: whispers: But you're forgetting about the 80% discount on room and meal including room for the boar

BOB you both get to perform and make rolls

Bixi Fizzlebang: I did not agree!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc too!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I did not agree!

BOB grisn

BOB grins too

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): He's not offering extra discounts or tips for me, not interested lol

Zayden: If you're worried about Crowds Bixi, just imagine them in their underwear!

BOB 10 minutes for the group to come up with an act

BOB and GO

Zayden: Or take a few shots before the show, that always loosens me up

Licornah: :: tending to the horses and including Knotty in the chatter ::

Raelynn: Oh, he's just enthusiastic. I'm sure they don't have good entertainment here. You'll be fine.

Zayden: Talk about that prank you were talking about

BOB brb empty and refill

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not WORRIED, I'm hungry and tired and concerned for Knotty's safety

Raelynn: Knotty will be fine. He's outside with the horses.

Zayden: Knotty's fine, we got her a place for the night for everyone, we all good

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's really more of an "you had to be there" kind of prank

Zayden: So take us there, that is the art of performing

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well what's your act? Maybe I can compliment it somehow

Zayden: You're actually very charming Bixi, you have nothing to worry about

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm NOT worried

Zayden: Well I just play my ukulele and sing, but we could do a humor/singing act duo, it's been done to great effect

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not funny

Howard Plum: Yeah just sing with Zayden

Zayden: How do yuou feel about singing?

Indigo: Sometimes you're funny

Lorie (Licornah): (I would vote for an Islands in the Stream or You and I type duet)

Bixi Fizzlebang: frowns and stomps her tiny feet

Indigo: See!

Thistle: I mean... that's funny.

Indigo: That was funny

Zayden: Wait till you're on stage before you put on a show

Thistle: You're so small how can you NOT be funny?

Bixi Fizzlebang: rolls eyes

Bixi Fizzlebang: Whatever. Worst case scenario is we don't get a lot of tips, right?

Zayden: What about nature songs, know any of those?

Indigo: don't you have a spell that might be funny?

Zayden: worst case scenario is y ou're publicly humiliated

Indigo: People will just see it as magic

BOB (LINK)

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm already publicly humiliated

Bixi Fizzlebang: Nothing new there

Zayden: Then you got nothing to worry about

Howard Plum: I could make Indigo invisible and then he could attack someone and reapper

Zayden: Not that you're worried

BOB (LINK)

Indigo: Attack someone?

Bixi Fizzlebang: That seems like a worst case scenario

Howard Plum: Not in reality but it would break the spell

BOB 4 minutes till show time

Thistle: How about some cantrips?

Shislif (Zayden): So wait, during actual showtime we just roll the dice or what?

Thistle: Some fire, more fire, maybe with a hint of fire?

Indigo: Just go up there and cast something silly Bixi

Indigo: Or read one of your ghost stories!

BOB (LINK)

Bixi Fizzlebang: If only! I haven't had time to write any of them! Just a bunch of notes and ideas so far

Indigo: We could set Thistle on fire. Yes!

BOB (LINK)

Indigo: As long as it doesn't set the taven on fire at the same time

Bixi Fizzlebang: does Arboreal Scamper HAVE to be trees, or can I improvise?

Thistle: I do enjoy that.

Lorie (Licornah): (It was a dark and stormy night? Once upon a night dark and dreary?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Thistle has a kinky side

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Carissa (Thistle): (lol)

Lorie (Licornah): (It was the best of times, it was the worst of times?)

BOB and GO

Lorie (Licornah): (You two could do a two person rendition of Waiting for Godot... with a surprise twist -- he shows up!)

Shislif (Zayden): roll musical instrument?

Shislif (Zayden): who'l play Godot?

Zayden: Welcome audience!

Lorie (Licornah): (.... you decide? )

Brograth: Tonight we have a special treat for everyone, Zayden and Bixi from the far reaches of Drillian, here to perform for you! Give it up for them! and tip well!

Bixi Fizzlebang: glances at Zayden "Who first?"

Zayden: Thank you thank you, settle down audience

BOB For Lemon on your questions, you just have to try to find out

Zayden: I got this

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks around to see if anyone was actually enthusiastic

Thistle: WOO!!

Michael (Talwin): (back sorry about that)

Zayden takes out his Ukulele

Thistle: claps loudly

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have jokes prepared, Shislif!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I used google!

Zayden: We just arrived here, my group and I

Zayden: And during out trip, I couldn't help but notice how beautiful and wonderful the world is

Zayden: so I'd like to sing this song, what a wonderful world,

Zayden: which will be followed by Jokes with Bixi!

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Michael (Talwin): Link immedietly pls

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nope, you have to wait for the show like everyone else

Shislif (Zayden): ads...

Indigo: claps

Shislif (Zayden): (LINK)

Zayden: [SKILL] Musical Instrument [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 1]

Shislif (Zayden): uh oh

Talwin: (LINK)

Lisa (Indigo): sweet!

Carissa (Thistle): wow

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Do I need to roll something every time I do a joke or what? I have a few lined up

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, that IS a really good song

BOB The crowd goes silent and then throws coins at the stage, applauding wildly and enthusiacitally

Talwin: A single tear rolls down Talwins face

Zayden: thank you thank you audience, you are a beautiful audience

Indigo: Yay Zayden!!

Zayden: And now

Lorie (Licornah): (Nice!)

Zayden: the highlight of our evening, BIXI!

Indigo: claps

Bixi Fizzlebang: does signature awkward curtsey

Zayden: claps enthusiastically

Bixi Fizzlebang: Haha, hello everyone, so happy to be here tonight, everyone looks like they're having a great time

Bixi Fizzlebang: You know who else has a great time? Kings, am I right? They get to do whatever they want

BOB The crowd cheers

Zayden: Hhaha!

Zayden: it's true it's true

Bixi Fizzlebang: What did the king say when he heard the peasants were revolting?

Zayden: what'd he say?

Bixi Fizzlebang: He said, "I agree, they never bathe and they always stink"

Zayden: Ohhhhh haha!

BOB the audience chuckles

Indigo: coughs

Bixi Fizzlebang: (Do I need to roll something or just keep going with it?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

BOB Just keep going and you get a roll at the end to see how sucessful

Bixi Fizzlebang: Speaking of the court, why was the court jester saved from execution?

Zayden: whoooo!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Because the queen got the joke at the last moment!

Zayden: why?

Zayden: Oh haha that took me a second!

Zayden: What they call high brow humor

Michael (Talwin): Whispers to Indigo "I don't get it"

Talwin: Whispers to Indigo "I don't get it"

Bixi Fizzlebang: So you know how kings always stay in their castles and send out knights to do all the fighting for them? And how sometimes they fail due to exhaustion?

Bixi Fizzlebang: There sure are a lot of sleepless nights in the king's army!

Indigo: frowns

Zayden: Sleepless Knights!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Thank you, thank you, and now for my final act

Zayden: It's a play on words Indigo

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi Fizzlebang cast a spell NOT memorized.

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Arboreal Scamper [at Bixi Fizzlebang]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SAVE] vs. Spell [CON +3] [d20+3 = 11]

Save [11] [Target 10] -> [for Bixi Fizzlebang] [vs Bixi Fizzlebang] [TARGET-SAVED]

Bixi Fizzlebang: attempts to scamper up the walls and climb around on the beams going across the ceiling

Zayden: Great job Bixi!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If I fall, it can only be hilarious

Zayden: I liked how you were funny, but also made us think about the poverty and the hierarchy of power in our lives

Michael (Talwin): (Roll to fall hilariously)

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What do I roll?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Persuasion again?

BOB yes

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 16]

Zayden: bio break brb ( or bbbrb)

Shislif (Zayden): ooc

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ahh, perfect

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

BOB Ok

Carissa (Thistle): (they like their royals here)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'll always have Zayden

BOB so overall amazing musical performace by Zayden, and generally decent but not impressive performace by Bixi

BOB You have your rooms for the night, and you get an additional 18 silver from the crowd after splitting it with the innkeeper

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm sure it's just a cultural disconnect

Michael (Talwin): (Thank gods music is universal....or is that math)

Indigo: You said peasants stink, the queen was slow and knights fail from exhaustion. I didn't think it was funny

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, Zayden could have had a bad roll too :P

Talwin: I was a little insulted as a Knight. I'd happily be sleepless to protect you

Indigo: Your magic trick was good though

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: That was a cool trick

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well if you say something true it isn't funny. The funny part of humor is the surprise

Talwin: Didn't know you had that kind of music talent Zayden

Zayden: Humor is vvery subjective

Bixi Fizzlebang [Gnomish]: [Translation] duh

<font color="#000000">duh

Talwin: I suppose that's true

Zayden: Thanks Tal!

Zayden: It is one of my top five loves

Michael (Talwin): Shrugs. "Compliment where it's due. That was very moving piece. You should do a song for Bran if it's always such a great performance. She'd love it"

Zayden: playing music for others

Talwin: Shrugs. "Compliment where it's due. That was very moving piece. You should do a song for Bran if it's always such a great performance. She'd love it"

Lisa (Indigo): the silver is for zayden and Bixi to split and can put on their sheets

Zayden: I wish it were always great, but sometimes I'm just good, which is good enough

Zayden smiles

Talwin: I think you should think higher of yourself. We all have bad days. That was something else entirely

Zayden: 9 silver each sweet

Talwin: Whispers "Keep it hidden. You never know when you might need a quick coin or two"

Bixi Fizzlebang: Anyone need my share of the silver? You were all so generous with helping me buy Knotty's freedom, I'm not sure how I could repay you for that

Zayden: Thank you Talwin, I sometimes wonder if my suffering has actually improved my music

Talwin: You wouldn't be the first

Talwin: Grimly

Bixi Fizzlebang [Gnomish]: [Translation] Whispers under her breath "At least you're loyal friends, even if you have no sense of humor"

<font color="#000000">Whispers under her breath "At least you're loyal friends, even if you have no sense of humor"

Zayden: But then perhaps the suffering had a purpose, and I like that idea that it wasn't all for nothing

Talwin: Nods

Indigo: No Bixi, you keep it. I was going to give you some more spending money anyway since you spent all yours today.

Talwin: Makes sense...kinda

Bixi Fizzlebang: Thanks

Zayden: So what now gang, do we call it a night or drink and drink?

Bixi Fizzlebang: hides it away somewhere secret. somewhere safe

Indigo: I'm pretty tired but you all can stay up

Indigo: Youtargim and I are still pretty beat up

Zayden: So we call it a night, travelling is tiring and jet lag is no joke

Youtargim: I can always use sleep

Talwin: I'm not feeling my normal self. Sleep would be good

Zayden: or maybe the kind of joke Bixi would tell haha

Bixi Fizzlebang: Look, Talwin, I would stay up all night for you, too, but sleepless knights and sleepless nights? That's funny.

Talwin: But great performance to you both

Indigo: You should get someone to heal you before bed Talwin

Talwin: Constipated Expression at the joke, but grimly smiles in an attempt to show some modicum of support at that terrible joke

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: Yes

Talwin: Would anyone mind lending me a spell or two?

BOB brb

Talwin: Would anyone mind lending me a spell or two? I'm not feeling quite so well

Zayden: I think it's a funnier joke if you're not a knight or peasant yourself

Zayden: or the queen or king I suppose

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I honestly don't know if I have used all my spells or not

Zayden: I suppose that why they say the first rule of public performing is Know your audience

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Last couple of weeks were not the best, attention-wise

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, I mean, I guess it makes sense. That explains why y'all think the short jokes are so funny and I don't

Bixi Fizzlebang: coughs pointedly

Shislif (Zayden): I don't care for short jokes :)

Licornah: [HEAL] Cure Serious Wounds [2d8+1 = 13]

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Honestly, I thought I was going to fail harder than that, or I would have had a completely different tactic

Zayden: Alright good night don't let the bed bugs bite!

Michael (Talwin): (I'm ready to "Tank" again for you all! As your sleepless Knight!)

Lorie (Licornah): (I'm out of healing spells... )

Zayden: and if they do, get your shoe, and hit em till they're black n blue

Michael (Talwin): (And thank you Lorie, this is just fine :) )

Michael (Talwin): Mumbles "For what we are paying, there better not be any damn bugs"

Talwin: Mumbles "For what we are paying, there better not be any damn bugs"

Lisa (Indigo): Raelynn or Bixi could probably orison Talwin to finish him off

Zayden: I think you slept with far worse that bugs before Tal

Zayden: than :)

Licornah: :: finishes brushing the horses and climbs in the wagon for the evening after her mediations and wishes Knotty good sleep ::

Michael (Talwin): (She's sleeping in the wagon?)

Licornah: :: nods at Zayden :: I'm sure it went well ... Good night

Howard Plum: Dimension Door

Howard Plum: Magic Missile

Michael (Talwin): (I mean that's fine, I just feel bad if we left you out)

Howard Plum: Magic Missile

Lorie (Licornah): (Nope, I'm a happy smurf )

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, don't buy that... she's just way more mature than the rest of us and can't stand us :P

Michael (Talwin): (Howard finally snapped!)

Zayden: Sweet dreams Licornah

Shislif (Zayden): maturity is overrated

Carissa (Thistle): (sorry was afk)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

Talwin: Good Night Everyone.

BOB brb sorry

Lorie (Licornah): (Look I'm an outdoor smurf who joined a group who has a home based in the middle of a nuclear waste dump and is constantly sick...she's reaping in the fresh air :: laughs :: )

Michael (Talwin): (You live in the Handford Reach?)

Zayden: Night Tal Night Bixi

Michael (Talwin): (You know that's a Superfund Site)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Goodnight friends

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Michael (Talwin): (Oof. Sorry Lorie, my jokes are just as bad as Bixi's) :)

BOB and morning breaks, [CRASH]

BOB Everyone wakes with new spells

Michael (Talwin): (What does [Crash] mean though?)

BOB breaks

Michael (Talwin): ...Ok

Shislif (Zayden): Morning are so rude

BOB man BOB jokes do not do better than Bixi jokes

Lorie (Licornah): (( :: laughs :: think a window and when you throw a ball through it -- CRASH!) )

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Michael (Talwin): lol

Michael (Talwin): I think i'm just bad at humor tonight. I have failed humor test

Lorie (Licornah): (It's a common RPG trope, morning breaks -- crash! ))

Michael (Talwin): lol

BOB So you have the day to plot, plan, shop, enjoy

Lorie (Licornah): (So, are we trying to heal them this morning? Do you want to offer coppers to a church for professional healnig?

Lorie (Licornah): (healing even)

Shislif (Zayden): can I go fishing?

BOB There is a lake here yes

Shislif (Zayden): nice

Michael (Talwin): (For a few coppers? Absoultely. Save us some emergency spells)

Zayden: so later tonight you guys wanna check out the circus see what the deal is?

Lisa: priests don't say hello for coppers

Michael (Talwin): Maybe desperate ones?

Michael (Talwin): :)

BOB that is the primary decision, stay for the circus tonight or move on up the road

Lisa: if no one wants to spend spells we can heal naturally - I don't care

BOB (LINK)

Michael (Talwin): We are technically (knock on wood) in a safe space. Natrually probably isn't an issue for healing

Zayden: I'm down to check out the circus, haven't seen a circus act in ages

Lisa: 3 hp per day

Carissa (Thistle): (if we stay for the circus, theoretically we shouldn't need spells)

Carissa (Thistle): (is anyone else lgging often?)

Lisa: not lately - was a while ago

Michael (Talwin): (Occasionally, but not enough to notice Carissa. Sorry)

Licornah: With three characters down nearly 100 points, I can't make that happen in a day...

Carissa (Thistle): (guess it's my end - it completely freezes for a few seconds or longer and often)

Michael (Talwin): (We can give more then coppers to a priest then)

Michael (Talwin): Bob, let's do that first

Lisa: it is only indigo and Yout and no one is asking you to burn spells you don't want to

Zayden: It's a circus, what's the worst that could happen?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm happy to lend my spells as well but they're not even close to any one else's heals

Carissa (Thistle): (we have three healers and only two down to 1)

Michael (Talwin): So...move on?

Lisa: yeah forget the healing and just get through the day

Lorie (Licornah): (oh, I'm happy to use my spells, not saying I don't, just offering an alternative, because it's going to take me a few days to do that much healing - even with great roles ;) )(

Zayden: can you spell me some bacon n eggs?

Carissa (Thistle): (sorry fighting FG)

Lorie (Licornah): (bueno a mi )

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi Fizzlebang cast a spell NOT memorized.

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Cure Moderate Wounds [at Indigo]

Michael (Talwin): Quick question bob when you get to it. Is the items for purchase not the same as the inventory because the store seller simply does not wish to sell those items? Or because they are being held? Or because FGU is not allowing the full display for Items for Purchase?

Indigo: [SAVE] vs. Spell [CON +3] [d20+3 = 22]

Save [22] [Target 10] -> [for Indigo] [vs Bixi Fizzlebang] [TARGET-SAVED]

BOB and yes after a couple of hours Zayden manages to bring back enough fish from the lake to the Inn to provide for lunch and a bonus 5 silver for the group

Shislif (Zayden): are the numbers next to the weapons how much damage they do?

BOB Items for Purchase are those that you can buy without question, you have to roleplay/negociate to get greater quantaties

Shislif (Zayden): Nice!

Lisa (Indigo): Indigo is doing pretty well now. Yout is still hurting

BOB and also you can ask for other things and they might have them in stock

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, but Bixi doesn't like Yout

Talwin: So...is that a kinda? Bob?

Shislif (Zayden): I may buy this dagger cause I think it does more damage than my current dagger

BOB In the store? that number is how many are in the store, not the damage they do

Michael (Talwin): (I'm only asking because I want t omake sure I understand the rules behind what is being shown and what is not)

Shislif (Zayden): ohhh ok thx

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: You're not thinking of SELLING me are you?

Talwin: Our Herbalist would love the Aadarna

Shislif (Zayden): so a dagger is a dagger there's no difference like special daggers or anything?

Lisa (Indigo): only if they are magic

Michael (Talwin): Mutters: "They would have to pry your from my cold dead fingers"

Talwin: Mutters: "They would have to pry your from my cold dead fingers"

BOB Right to Sharif

Talwin: Reviews the Inventory

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Do we need mandrake?

Talwin: Places a gold coin on the counter.

Zayden: Boy I tell ya, I'll take a bad day of fishing over a good day of working

Michael (Talwin): So, did the drag, but no deduction and no arrows

Lisa (Indigo): it's ok you don't really want arrows anyway :)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Arrows schmarrows

Lisa (Indigo): buy ale instead pls :)

BOB I dragged the arrows over to Talwin

Michael (Talwin): (No i'm just testing it out for bob. I really could care less about the arrows LOL. But yes will buy ale)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi picks up some small rocks from the area

BOB It did not deduct the gold from his sheet

Shislif (Zayden): I was thinking about picking up some ale, think it'll be worth it?

User has gone AFK. (Lemon)

Michael (Talwin): eff it. Doing a discord snip

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Lisa (Indigo): it's just 2 sp

BOB This is why we experiment

Michael (Talwin): Okay. Drag the Ale (1) to the Equipment or Treasure Bob? See Snip

BOB Will do

BOB I drgged it to Talwin's Inventory

Michael (Talwin): Hm. Not sure why it adds for you, but not me. But, I suppose it's fine. I can update the GP on my sheet manually for now. Sorry about that.

BOB It removed one from the shops inventory

Michael (Talwin): Odd...

BOB But yes the cost is not working automatically

BOB will explore that later

User has gone AFK. (Lisa)

BOB but is there anything else that people wanted to buy in the various shops in town?

Michael (Talwin): Healing Shop

Talwin: Pleasez

Michael (Talwin): Please

BOB and now it shows Talwin down 2 GP and added the SP to his sheet

BOB can add to inventory

Michael (Talwin): (Herbalist is fine)

BOB Feel free to ask for anything you want

Michael (Talwin): Sure

Licornah: :: decides to go visit one of the churches ::

BOB Brodericks Compendium is in your list of Books

Michael (Talwin): You have a lovely business. Thank you for your ale. We ran into some trouble on the road. Would you happen to know of any herbalist, or healing potions where we might be able to purchase? I know it's unlikely, but we tend to be more prepared. I can offer a couple silver in exchange for the goods on top of your asking price?

Talwin: You have a lovely business. Thank you for your ale. We ran into some trouble on the road. Would you happen to know of any herbalist, or healing potions where we might be able to purchase? I know it's unlikely, but we tend to be more prepared. I can offer a couple silver in exchange for the goods on top of your asking price?

BOB Yes to Licornah also

Michael (Talwin): (Sorry guys, I like these types of systems. I'll hurry)

Michael (Talwin): (I'm a beaurucratic monster)

User is back. (Lemon)

Michael (Talwin): (If theyknow nothing or have nothing for sale in that manner, no worries, we can just move on)

Shop Keeper Elric: Hello there, and I am sorry I am a simple shop keeper I do not do anything as rich and expensive as potions

Talwin: Bows. "I understand. I know it was a longshot. However, I greatly appreciate your consideration. Have a most enchanting evening. I hear a cirucs is coming" Smiles warmly.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Definitely herbalist

User is back. (Lisa)

Talwin: Slips five coppers onto the counter

Shop Keeper Elric: I am not sure where you can get such things, I have heard that the church of Cogse might have some sort of magic for their followers

Talwin: Thank you

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: Enjoy your evening Sir

Talwin: Gathers up purchases and walks out with the Ale and Arrows

Michael (Talwin): (Updtated money sheet)

BOB and for Licornah

Patron Norlin: Welcome honored guest

Patron Norlin: I have not seen many Elves here to worship

Patron Norlin: Venery welcomes all who use the wilderness

Licornah: :: nods and bows :: Good day ... I came to learn about your deity. I am a :: fumbles for the word :: priestess of Lurue, the Goddess of Creatures

Patron Norlin: That fits with you finding us

Licornah: I hail from the far north

Patron Norlin: (LINK)

Patron Norlin: I am glad to welcome you here

Patron Norlin: We try to help those who are far from home, who are lost without the wilderness

Shislif (Zayden): sorry had to step away for a sec

Licornah: :: smiles faintly :: I know the calling...

Patron Norlin: This busy landscape drowns out the call of the wild

Licornah: May I roam your grounds for a few hours?

Licornah: I am Licornah ...

BOB note this is a medium sized town of a couple hundred people, not a city by any imagination

Patron Norlin: I am Patron Norlin

Patron Norlin: you are welcome to stay

Licornah: I am humbled and grateful for your hospitality

Patron Norlin: one of yoru group has found our pond and taken an offering today

Zayden: Oh I took their offerings alright

Licornah: :: sighs :: I don't know that he realized it was Venery's

Patron Norlin: I understand, we are used to travelers,

Zayden: What's all this then?

Licornah: I apologize for the offense

Patron Norlin: we just hope that they or their friends will help maintain the shrine and continue the good works

Patron Norlin: You are far from home, are you looking to return?

Patron Norlin: Or are you making a new home?

Zayden: Thinks: I've got a shrine you can maintain

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, Idk Zayden, but you better hope you didn't piss off a god

Licornah: :: smiles :: For now, my place is with my companions, we are visting on our way to the sea

Shislif (Zayden): jhey those are private thoughts :)

Patron Norlin: The Sea is a mythical place

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was replying to the "what's all this then" :P

Patron Norlin: Stick to the lakes and the rivers you are used to

BOB (LINK)

Lorie (Licornah): (Nah, Morcheeba is a better song for this... )

Michael (Talwin): Nope, this is perfect

Michael (Talwin): Courtesy of our Flag Means Death

Licornah: In any case, does your shrine require repair? I'm not very handy, but willing to try ...

Shislif (Zayden): lol nice :)

Patron Norlin: We are self sufficient

Patron Norlin: We take offerings from those that need our resources

Licornah: Do have ill needing tending? I have that calling...

Patron Norlin: and we provide for those in need

Licornah: I just needed a moment...to learn about others.

Patron Norlin: We only have one observant in the chapel now, he simply needs to rest and understand his place in the world

Licornah: For that, I'm grateful

Shislif (Zayden): Is this taking place at one of the churches?

BOB yes at the Shrine of Venery

TMO: I am back, sorry for being gone so long. Lots of things to do 'round here tnight

Shislif (Zayden): cool

Shislif (Zayden): Welcome back!

BOB Other things to do here in town before the circus arrives for this evening's event?

BOB Tell me what you are looking for, what you are anticipating

TMO: buy evil clown costumes and mug the patrons without anyone knowing about it?

Shislif (Zayden): Prolaly take a nap so I'm fully rested for the show, fishing is tiring

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Look for interesting or useful plants?

BOB Shops? or outside of town?

Lisa (Indigo): lol tmo

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I guess shops... not leaving town alone

Licornah: :: communing with nature, learning about Venery, sharing about Lurue, then hanging with the horses and Knotty again ::

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or just like... alongside the roads

BOB no roads, the town is big enough to have several "paved" roads, really hard dirt, with different lanes

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So the perfect place for plants to grow alongside of, got it :P

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I see trees and shit on this map, you can't fool me!

BOB grins, more like follow the roads out of town to find things in the wild

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): the roads are dirt. Plants grow in dirt. Heck, plants grow out of sidewalks in big cities!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): THIS IS SCIENCE

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Carissa back me up on thsi lol

BOB chuckles

BOB I will point out if there are shops in town they will raise the herbs and such in gardens to sell

BOB and so the likelyhood of getting them for free is slim

TMO: but not zero! ;)

Lisa (Indigo): the weeds on the side of the road are probably free

Lorie (Licornah): (So you're saying there's a chance? )

BOB lol

Michael (Talwin): Zayden can serenade them for the herbs...

Lisa (Indigo): he will razzle dazzle them for basil

Lisa (Indigo): almost rhymes?

Lorie (Licornah): (use a British or Australian accent - it will :) )

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Fine, fine, let's just go to the circus

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Shislif (Zayden): it's gotta be thematically appropriate

BOB Totally up to the group this is your last chance to stock up etc

BOB after this is the Circu

BOB Circus

BOB then you have roleplaying encounters the rest of the way to Loosend

BOB what you have will be what you can use until then

BOB I do have a circus map ready

Shislif (Zayden): Anything we need for the group?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I saw mandrake at Talwins' shop... is that the only herbal stuff or is there more? And is mandrake useful?

Licornah: :: thanks the Patron and takes her leave :: I appreciate your time and sharing your knowledge. I wish you well and may the peace of Lurue partner with Venery for the wilderness.

BOB You have to tell me what you are looking for

Shislif (Zayden): something called Aadarna and Adder's Tongue if we need those?

BOB based on the material components for your spells

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ohhhhhhh

Patron Norlin: Warm smile for Licornah

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have too many spells, I'm not doing that tonight lol

Patron Norlin: We are hopeful for everyone to enjoy the wilderness

Sharif (Zayden): something called Aadarna and Adder's Tongue if we need those?

Lisa (Indigo): oops

Indigo: didn't mean to copy paste :)

Lorie (Licornah): (Aadrarna probably thrives in Dragon Fen -- isn't it a swamp plant?)

Lisa (Indigo): most likely

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is there an herbalists compendium or something I can read?

Lorie (Licornah): Adder's Tongue usually grows near water in Spring and Summer I believe

BOB Books and Brodereks....

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Also I just learned that I know the word compendium, so there's that.

Lorie (Licornah): Compendiums are very in right now :)

Indigo: lol

Lisa: there is a whole leg of this adventure on Bixi getting plants, isn't there?

BOB yes there is

BOB Books and plants

BOB (LINK)

BOB You are getting to Loosend, so you can take the Chandler Cowles River to Rivers Bend, then Thistle hopes to save her friend from prison

Shislif (Zayden): Did we skip the circus?

BOB then you to go Dryads Lair and find Bixi's plant quest and Talwin's trainer

BOB and no I am waiting to start that when the group is ready

Shislif (Zayden): cool

Lisa: is anyone not ready?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Speak now or forever hold your peace

Lisa (Indigo): think we are ready

Shislif (Zayden): I'm g2g when the gang is

Shislif (Zayden): oh no wait lemme refill real quick

Michael (Talwin): i'm good :)

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Lisa (Indigo): is Carissa still here?

Lorie (Licornah): (I'm hanging with Knotty and the horses, so good to go here)

Image: Circus Set up

BOB You see the Circus has set up in an empty field outside of town

BOB one large tent and two smaller tents, with a temporary paddock for the horses and several wagons next to it

Lisa (Indigo): nice

Carissa (Thistle): (kind of, checking in here and there until we moved along)

BOB thanks, trying to keep this minimalistic without all the tokens

Image: Circus Set up

Shislif (Zayden): ok ready

BOB You can picture the horses and wagons there at the paddock, if you need I will place them on the map

BOB It is about 4 PM the tents are set up, there are a couple of people moving about making sure things are ready for tonight,

BOB Your call on what to do

BOB Knotty is there with Bixi

BOB Your horses and wagon are back at the inn

Zayden: Seems like they're still getting setup

Zayden: Why don't you ask Knotty how he she is feeling?

Zayden: We being back at the circus and all

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Why is Knotty here?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Why would I take Knotty to the place that traumatized him?

Zayden: We're all here, why wouldn't Knotty be here?

Lorie (Licornah): (I kind of thought you would walk to the circus)

BOB Are you leaving him alone at the Inn?

Shislif (Zayden): oh sorry i getchya

Lorie (Licornah): (And I would stay with horses and Knotty)

Lorie (Licornah): (I will NOT be going to the circus)

BOB chuckles

Shislif (Zayden): But it would be nice to get some feedback from Knotty to be honest

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, yeah, if everyone is going I guess I'm taking him, but yeah, I was planning on leaving him with Licornah

BOB the group gets to choose

Lorie (Licornah): (Knotty said Damn the Man and Fight the Empire, but :: shrug :: )

Shislif (Zayden): Knotty is already free, we paid for his freedom so he's safe

Carissa (Thistle): (anyone besides Licornah staying behind?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): He's safe physically but not emotionally

Shislif (Zayden): and I'd like to know if this circus is up to anything nefarious or why knotty felt he couldn't perform with them anymore

Shislif (Zayden): when the other animals seemed to be fine being with the circus, just sayin...

Lisa (Indigo): you can have zayden sneak around while they are setting up and see if he learns anything

Shislif (Zayden): But if it's traumatic I understand and he can stay with licornah

Shislif (Zayden): ohh i could try wearing a disguise?

BOB Is Knotty an asshole? or just dis-GRUNT-led or is there a feud that is smoking?

Shislif (Zayden): Lol I like the idea of Knotty just being an asshole lol

Lorie (Licornah): (If all you've ever known is trauma, how would you know differently is better?)

Zayden: Has Knotty only known Trauma?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know for sure whether or not he's traumatized, but he didn't like the dude in the top hat, why would I purposely take him back to that guy?

Shislif (Zayden): Well we're not taking him "to" that guy, just the circus, we're not gonna sell him, he'll be safe

BOB (LINK)

Lisa (Indigo): you can make that call - no Knotty at the circus and he's not there. we're good

Shislif (Zayden): So Knotty stays behind at the Inn?

Lorie (Licornah): (I think Zayden took the deal with the GM, he's awful eager to get Knotty back to the circus LOL)

Shislif (Zayden): I shoulda held out for a deal lol

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah but I expect we're going to talk to that guy, and I don't want Knotty to get nervous and start goring him or something

Zayden: it is mysterious though

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And you can still ask Licornah to ask him those questions

Shislif (Zayden): I mean that could be fun if that happened...

BOB moving forward to finish this tonight

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But yes... if Licornah is staying, I will leave Knotty in her capable hands

Zayden: Yea good idea, lets see how knotty feels about it we talking like we own him

Licornah: :: waves goodbye to the group and starts tending to the horses and Knotty, ensuring they have hay and water and brushed ::

Zayden: does he want to balls up and face his fear, or hide away at the inn?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I do own him

Shislif (Zayden): oh dang

BOB So the group minus Licornah and Knotty arrives at the circus grounds

Indigo: It's Bixi's boar. She should decide. I just want to see they show

Lorie (Licornah): (:: puts on her Lilo voice :: He's mine, I paid two dollars for him at the pound, see here? He's mine!)

Zayden: Pretty sure we all put in for that boar though

Indigo: I hope there's a fortune teller.

Thistle: Yeah can we go already?

Indigo: You claiming part of the boar?

Zayden: Alright lets go it's all good

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm going to let him stay with Licornah. He seems happy enough here and I know he will be well cared-for with her

Indigo: I can give you the gold you spent for him later

Zayden: Fair enough Bixi

Indigo: Not good to try to split a boar

Zayden: It's not about the gold, it's about the mystery of it

Zayden: and yes if we're talking ownership terms then it is also about the gold

Zayden: I thought Knotty was free

Zayden: guess he just exchanged ownership

BOB (LINK)

Bixi Fizzlebang: He's free from his abuser

Bixi Fizzlebang: He's chosen to be my companion

Zayden: isn't ownership of living beings an abuse though?

Zayden: Has he?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): By force of spell but that's neither here nor there...

Zayden: Oh dang wait we got a circus to get to!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes, we will have plenty of time to have philosophical discussions on owndership

Zayden: It's fine you own the boar obviously let's have fun tonight!

Zayden: Got any gum?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Any what?

Zayden: Bubble gum?

BOB (LINK)

Bixi Fizzlebang: I... don't know what that is

Zayden: Oh man you're in for a treat when we get to the circus, they'll have gum for sure

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Just assuming there's no bubble gum where Bixi grew up

Shislif (Zayden): me too lol

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Considering there's no chocolate there

Zayden: cotton candy, funnel cake?

Zayden: popcorn?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Popped corn yes! And I've had candy and cake, but not by those names

Zayden: Oh man we have to get to the circus asap here

Zayden: This is a special night

BOB (LINK)

BOB What do you want to do?

BOB you have the layout in front of you

Shislif (Zayden): which layout?

Shislif (Zayden): oh i got it vnm

Indigo: Indigo and Howard go get seats in the arena

Shislif (Zayden): nvm

Shislif (Zayden): shall we try to find homeboy?

BOB anyone joining them?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Can we stroll past the paddock before going in? I'd like to just take a look at the animal welfare here

Carissa (Thistle): (Rae and Thistle)

BOB certainly

Shislif (Zayden): I"ll join Bixi before the show

Carissa (Thistle): (too tired to think of doing anything else)

Zayden: If that's cool with Bixi

BOB there are a few of the roughhousers there, taking care of horses, and the wagons,

Bixi Fizzlebang: Of course, I would love the company

Zayden: roughhousers?

BOB You have any checks you want to make? or spells?

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

Shislif (Zayden): Can I try Information Gathering?

Zayden: [SKILL] Information Gathering [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 9] [d20 = 19]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 1]

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Botany in case I see them feeding the horses poison or something

Shislif (Zayden): what is this like low numbers are wins and high numbers are losses?

BOB for the most party yes Sharif

Lisa (Indigo): why would they poison their own horses? lol

Shislif (Zayden): ayight good to know :)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know, maybe they secretly hate top hat man and are planning a coup

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm just CHECKING

Lisa (Indigo): gotcha

Shislif (Zayden): top hat man, have there been any sightings of him yet?

BOB and so the three of you are nosing around and see that the horses seem to be treated well, they look strong and healthy, there are two empty spaces that are like cages outside of the paddock,

BOB there are the two other tents, and then the big top

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Who can know what goes on inside BOB's brain when he's planning these things.

BOB where Howard and Indigo headed

Zayden: The horses seem alright eh Bixi?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Seems fine to me

Zayden: Anything you like to say to them before we head in?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Licornah would be able to get a better sense, but... yeah, they look healthy

Zayden: You can trust your sense

BOB (LINK)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Nah, that would probably cause some trouble with the onlookers, best to just join the others

Zayden: Well I'll say Thank you kind horses!

Zayden: Ok let's go check out this show

Zayden smiles

Bixi Fizzlebang: heads into wherever everyone else went

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): afk a second because ice cream

Zayden quickly sneaks off to the side

User has gone AFK. (Lemon)

Zayden Looking for gum

BOB The group moves in the entrance

Zayden couldn't find any gum

BOB there are several stools with performers stitting welcoming the crowds

BOB more people flowing in behind you

Zayden: pretty good crowd tonight eh?

BOB Howard is stopped by a ticket taker

Zayden: handsome crowd at that

BOB Asking for 4 copper per person

Howard Plum: Good evening. The man in the top hat said we could come to the show for free since we passed out his flyers

Zayden: Howard, tell em we're at invitation of the man in the Top Hat

Howard Plum: We were the ones with ... the boar

Zayden: I'm sorry Howard, you know what you're doing

User is back. (Lemon)

BOB They do not seem to agree with you

Howard Plum: Fine. Indigo! You have the purse. He wants 32 copper for admission

Zayden: whoa whoa whoa

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well, I'm glad we didn't spend too much effort on those flier then

Indigo: Okay

Zayden: now wait a minute

Raelynn: Do you need a name? Clever The Interesting is your top man, isn't he?

Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 19]

Man in Top Hat: You came!

Indigo: goes to man and digs out a handful of coppers

Zayden: we are here at the explicit invitation of your boss, are we to tell him you would not let us in because of your simple ego?

Carissa (Raelynn): (oh good)

Indigo: Do we have to pay?

Raelynn: pushes Indigo's hand back

Man in Top Hat: I am surprised you made it! Welcome Welcome

Zayden: Nice job Rae!

Raelynn: Well we DO need to know what circus we're supposedly endorsing.

Zayden: some of us at least

Man in Top Hat: Please take a seat right up front

Zayden: Aw shucks clever!

Indigo: puts the coppers away

Man in Top Hat: Where is your lovely new addition

Raelynn: Thank you.

Zayden: He's got a nasty case of the runs, just poop everywhere it's terrible

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lolllll

Raelynn: Busy doing other things. It was a long few days for him.

Indigo: Yuck!

Man in Top Hat: Oh that is a pity, I do hope that you are able to keep up with him

Zayden: why do you say that Clever?

Man in Top Hat: cannot be too careful,

Man in Top Hat: You know there is a fine line between fine and not fit for food

Raelynn: We have no plans to eat him.

Indigo: He looks like he would be fit for food

Man in Top Hat: If you go too long you will not get any return on investment

Zayden: There is more value in a being than meat, though

Man in Top Hat: I do hope you will stay for the whole show

Man in Top Hat: we have many acts for you

Zayden: turns to bixi

Raelynn: We'll find out, won't we?

Zayden: that sounded ominous right?

Raelynn: What can we expect?

Man in Top Hat: I would not want to spoil the surprises

Bixi Fizzlebang: whispers to Zayden, "Everything this guy says sounds ominous to me"

Zayden: Whispers back to Bixi: I'll second you on that

Indigo: goes and sits in his seat

Zayden Takes a seat

Howard Plum: follows Indigo

Raelynn: Well you could at least promise fun.

TMO: just so long as there's no crack of thunder when he speaks

Zayden: No popcorn? No Funnel cake?

Drummer: DRUMMMMMM ROOOOOLLLLLLLL

<font color="#000000">Seeeeee Thissssss isssss the Ssssssshow

Zayden: Oh dang that's the snake from before!

Indigo: Hope the snake doesn't try and eat me

BOB to keep this moving along

BOB As the act move forward, the first display is a woman with the snake dancing

Lisa (Indigo): sorry - just making comments like if they were watching a show

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Dang, are you going to shorten the only part Carissa was looking forward to?

BOB Yes to Lisa and everyone please continue that

Zayden: Anybody know what the snake was saying?

Carissa (Raelynn): (it's fine, tired anyways at this point)

Indigo: She's pretty

Zayden: It had a whole hisss thing it said

Raelynn: She does know how to dance.

Indigo: Think that's what it said

Zayden: cool

Zayden: she is pretty

BOB right up in front of Howard now

Zayden: snake's got good taste

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks around at the audience

Zayden: Yeahhhh Howard!

Howard Plum: looks uncomfortable and blushes

Bixi Fizzlebang: There's no way this guy is getting 40 gold a night. We got scammed.

Zayden: whoa whoa, stay in the moment Bixi

Zayden: enjoy the show

Indigo: Fire!

Indigo: Look Thistle

Bixi Fizzlebang: rolls eyes

Thistle: Oooh I wonder what they'll do with that.

Zayden: keep rollin them eyes you may get a flat tire one day...

BOB As the snake dancer is moving in front of Howard, on the other side of the arena you see the lion and strong man enter

BOB then suddenly in front of Youtargim and Rae a fire breather pops up and BLOWS fire out of his mouth

Zayden: Oh dang!

BOB Youtargim moves in front of Rae to block her from being harmed

Raelynn: Hey hey! I can't see!

BOB As your eyes adjust from that the bear dances into the ring

BOB on its rear two feet

Zayden: Bear!

Zayden: Remember me?! From the Road?!

Indigo: He's dancing!

Zayden: He dances better than I do haha!

BOB Rae can make an alertness check

Raelynn: Is he enjoying it?

Carissa (Raelynn): (uhhhhh about that....)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Probably some kind of spell

Youtargim: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 70) [FAILURE by 22] [d100 = 92]

Zayden: who doesn't enjoy dancing?

Indigo: Howard?

Indigo: grins

Zayden: Howard doesn't enjoy dancing?

Thistle: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 35) [FAILURE by 48] [d100 = 83]

Raelynn: gasps

BOB So Rae and Youtargim are suprised by a large CLOWN that appears next to them

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 15]

Raelynn: Wait, you don't, Howard???

Raelynn: EEEK!!

Shislif (Zayden): I also have detect noise if that's useful

Howard Plum: I do. I do.

Zayden: ew clowns are legitimate scary though

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, guess I didn't need that lol

Raelynn: Oh now this is less fun!

BOB So in the chaos of the center ring with all the glitter and movement

BOB You get involved in the show

Zayden: uh oh

BOB and suddenly it seems time has flown by and the crowd starts to filter out

BOB leaving you with the entertainers

Zayden: are you not entertained?!

Howard Plum: claps

Shislif (Zayden): gladiator :)

Indigo: claps

Man in Top Hat: We welcome you to our show, are you satisfied that we are here to entertain everyone now?

Raelynn: claps and cheers

Indigo: That was a good show

Raelynn: Well the giant clown scared me, but the rest was good!

Zayden: I had a great time

Thistle: You need more fire.

Man in Top Hat: Laughs, you hear that Emily? More fire!

BOB She advances on Youtargim

Drummer: dumdumdumdumdumdumdumdumdum

Man in Top Hat: Careful what you wish for

Pauses

Laughs

Man in Top Hat: We did not prep you for that, we cannot do that trick

Man in Top Hat: Are you happy now to advertise for us as you travel north?

Raelynn: Yes, I think so. It looked like the rest of the crowd enjoyed it as well.

Zayden: Seems alright yea

Zayden: thinks: Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me?

Man in Top Hat: and the Pig? are you still happy with him?

Raelynn: shrugs

Raelynn: Bixi seems to be.

Zayden: I'm happy with him you know

Man in Top Hat: We will be following you up the road north,

Raelynn: What's your destination?

Man in Top Hat: If you do decide to change your mind

Zayden: following us?

Raelynn: Not many roads north out of here.

Man in Top Hat: I am heading to Loosend, then we shall see if the temple are flush with donations or if we continue on our way

Indigo: We'd sell him to you for 30 gold pieces

Indigo: grins

Raelynn: Oh! You donate to the temples?

Man in Top Hat: LAUGHS with Indigo

Man in Top Hat: then doubles up with laughter with Raelynn

Raelynn: frowns

Zayden: humorous guy right here

Man in Top Hat: I am happy to donate to the goddess that help us on our road

Man in Top Hat: We find our own way, bring our own blessings to our family

Zayden: to the side: So you guys wanna ride with the circus?

Raelynn: Which goddess?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): what a weirdo

Indigo: We heard a caravan went missing north of here so I'm expecting trouble ahead

Man in Top Hat: Which ever goddess helps us

Indigo: We're probab;y going to clear the way for you

Man in Top Hat: That is a troubling thing, it will be good for you to be ahead of us

Man in Top Hat: smiles at Indigo

Indigo: Yup

Zayden: There may be trouble ahead...

Zayden: Sings

Man in Top Hat: If you continue to bring us good crowds I will reward you

Man in Top Hat: the next time we meet

Bixi Fizzlebang: (LINK)

Man in Top Hat: Tonight was a good night

Indigo: Sounds good to me

Zayden: Sounds good to me too

Man in Top Hat: We will stay here two no more than three days

Zayden: Oh hey Clever

Man in Top Hat: then head north

Indigo: See, it was good Bixi

Zayden: one last thing if you don't mind my asking

Man in Top Hat: You can always ask

Zayden: Seems like you got a lot of animals that are cool with your show and it's a good time, so why is it that the boar was so adamant not to team up with your cirucs act?

Man in Top Hat: You would have to ask the gnome who stole him from us

BOB Also just noticed Lisa's Discord icon for tonight, very nice!

Zayden: Well that's good enough for me, I'd be happy to spread the word of your circus

Carissa (Raelynn): she does good themes on them

Man in Top Hat: That will be a nice thing

Indigo: He did run away from you. We found him running like a ... wild boar

Zayden: turns to gang: we should tell Bixi about this Gnome business in reference to Knotty

Carissa (Raelynn): (she's with us)

Man in Top Hat: Did he? Or was he out foraging for treats and you trapped him and kept him

Man in Top Hat: If I asked him?

Indigo: Hegored Youtargim!

Raelynn: Er, no. He almost gorded Yout to death.

Raelynn: He's lucky we didn't kill him.

Indigo: But it's all over now

Man in Top Hat: I will be available when you need

BOWS

Raelynn: Thank you for the show.

Indigo: Good luck

Man in Top Hat: Have a peaceful night

Man in Top Hat: And a safe journey

Zayden: Well it seems like we may need to revisit this Knotty situation in the near future...

Zayden: Later Clever!
