'LorieD' connected

GM: Hello there

'LordBiBo' connected

GM: Hello Marco

LordBiBo: Heya

LorieD: Evening Gents

GM: Your first thing to do tonight is to update your skills on yoru sheet, you said your thief skills reverted back to original last week Marco

LordBiBo: Unless they broke again, I fixed them during the centaur fighting

GM: OK

LordBiBo: my pic is still a dwarf though

GM: Yes I need that original pic you used

GM: I do not have it

LordBiBo: still couldn't get it from discord?

LordBiBo: e-mail then?

GM: double checking that again

GM: I tried to download just now and it says I have it

GM: but it is not in the correct folder

LordBiBo: so move it to the correct folder, I guess?

Folder assets refreshed.

GM: and fixed

LordBiBo: wohoo!

GM: It was a bad file, but found a way to resave

GM: and now rethinking the key element tonight

LordBiBo: Aww the file is doing the best it can

GM: chuckles

GM: How was the week Lorie?

LorieD: I have survived another week in Medicaid

LorieD: ;)

GM: smiles

LorieD: Girls and Paul are all happy and healthy

GM: I think that is like Carissa and horses

LorieD: the important stuff. I'm all registered to work the polls this November

LorieD: How are things in So. Fla?

GM: That is excellent!

GM: Things are good, today was the last complicated day for the summer

LorieD: Glad to hear you survived that :)

GM: all the other events are one event at one library

GM: I tried to keep it to three buildings a day for the summer

GM: sometimes it hit 4

GM: but most times 3

LorieD: Smart strategy

GM: One tomorrow, 2 on monday, 2 on Friday

'MadamePsychosis' connected

LorieD: Whoo - still a lot

GM: meaning additional buildings other than my office

'LemonyLemon' connected

LorieD: you're based downtown or Coral Springs these days?

GM: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday only at Main

LorieD: Gotcha

GM: downtown

GM: Hello Lisa

GM: Hello Lemon

LorieD: I finished planning my conferenc3e for October

LorieD: Evening Lisa and Lemon

GM: that is a good thing

'Shislif' connected

LemonyLemon: Wow, that was some quick loading

LemonyLemon: Hello everyone

MadamePsychosis: Hello :)

'seyfert' connected

Shislif: Hi there :)

GM: Hello to Sharif, welcome as your first official session as a Dragonslayer

GM: Welcome Carissa too

GM: only missing TMO now

LorieD: Evening Sharif and Carissa

Shislif: were the previous sessions not official?

GM: they were your audition

Shislif: But thanks!

GM: you passed

LemonyLemon: How do you decide when it's official?

Shislif: yay, that's nice :)

LorieD: We used to vote

GM: After I poll the other players

LorieD: I don't know what they do now

GM: and someone plays out at least one story arc

seyfert: Hi all!

Shislif: Damn it feels good to be a Dragonslayer :)

GM: so we see all the sides someone brings to the table

MadamePsychosis: Yay!

LemonyLemon: I never got a poll? I mean, I would have boted yes anyway, but just saying

LemonyLemon: boted=voted

GM: grins,

LorieD: Me either... no vote from me

Link: FGU Notes on the site

GM: There is the link for the notes we have so far on using FG

GM: including the way to use whispers in chat,

GM: Lemon is the expert at that

GM: Now you have a new way too

seyfert: I think he only polled himself...

LemonyLemon: Lol, polled all the NPCs

MadamePsychosis: you said only missing TMO - no Marco tonight?

GM: See

LorieD: Highly likely Sharif

GM: Marco is here being quiet

LorieD: Marco is here... he was the early bird

LordBiBo: I'm here

MadamePsychosis: hello :)

LordBiBo: ::waves::

Shislif: Highly likely?

'springdew' connected

LorieD: That he polled himself... or the players he thought might have contention about your status :)

GM: grins

Shislif: oh haha :)

GM: so I did want Lemon and anyone to test the new whisper option as well, we know it works to me

GM: and testing how to use it to go to another Player rather than Character

GM: Hello Spring

springdew: hi hi

seyfert: Hi Spring!

springdew: hello!

MadamePsychosis: it's w/ and name?

LorieD: Evening Spring

Shislif: Hi there :)

MadamePsychosis: Hi Spring

springdew: hey!

springdew: hallo!

GM: I mess them up all the time Lisa, is why I asked our expert (Lemon) to assist

seyfert (Raelynn): (if someone wants to load their character we can see if there's a button for them)

Raelynn -> Indigo: Success!

seyfert (Raelynn): right click

Indigo -> Raelynn: how did you do that?

seyfert (Raelynn): very nice and easy!

Raelynn -> Indigo: right click portrait

GM: Yes and they come across here in chat for everyone later on as well

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Raelynn: Oh man, burn book will be so much easier this way (jk)

GM: LOL Lemon

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Licornah: snicker snicker wisecrack

Indigo -> Raelynn: nice! Thanks!

Lanek -> Raelynn: hi there

Raelynn -> Lanek: hello!

Shislif: where are we again? locationwise?

GM: Now can you see how to make it work, or assist others with Player to Player please

seyfert (Raelynn): downside is if you get multiple whispers at once you have to reopen it and retype to your last whisper as it closes to open new one

Licornah -> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: testing this feature for testing

GM: you are arriving at Loosend the evening of the 28th

Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: LOL shhhh Bob can see this!

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Licornah: test is successful test

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Raelynn: That's why I said jk!

Licornah -> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: :: tosses confetti ::

Shislif: cool

Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: it's okay, I'll just put my burn book thoughts about you in the whisper. that's how it works, right?

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Raelynn: real burn book, they won't go looking for the real one

Lanek: okay when i try to whisper a player, not a character, i get a recipient not found error

LorieD (Licornah): Same Spring

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Raelynn: It cut off the first part of that

Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: To be fair no one else besides Lisa reads chat either so no one will look for that...

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Raelynn: Was supposed to say "if they think this is the real burn book"

Licornah -> Lanek: test message

Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: But now it'll intrigue people

Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: We can put our burn book thoughts about Youtargim here

-> Bixi Fizzlebang: But this does not use the alternative languages?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Doesn't look like it

seyfert (Raelynn): yeah has to be to a character not player

Lanek -> Licornah: i see your test message

GM [Dwarvish]: [Translation] I tried to whisper in a different language did not work

I tried to whisper in a different language did not work

[understood by: ]

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Raelynn: And, this erases everything I typed if I get a whisper in the middle of typing

Licornah -> Lanek: excellent :)

seyfert (Raelynn): but I didn't see a way to do that to an NPC unless you can from their icon on map?

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Raelynn: But I was trying to say, that now you can alert me when it's my turn and I'm not paying attention, and vice versa

Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Does this make a sound? I don'thave my speaker on

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Raelynn: It does for me

Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh there it is

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Raelynn: NOT that I would ever NOT be paying attention BOB.

GM: LOL with Lemon

Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Definitely

Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean definitely not!

GM: OK so back to normal conversation

seyfert (Raelynn): But this is normal convo with Lemon...

GM: we still need to type here in chat to whisper to the NPCs

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, this is very normal

GM: I think

seyfert (Raelynn): I couldn't get Youtargim to work

Youtargim: Testing at Youtargim

Youtargim: try now please

seyfert (Raelynn): Can you put his icon on a map and see if we can do it that way?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, we can just whisper to you and specify who it's for?

seyfert (Raelynn): Oh true

seyfert (Raelynn): A little extra work for Lisa but it's a start

seyfert (Raelynn): Did... did you already name the ship we haven't hired yet?

MadamePsychosis: not sure I am a fan of a ton of IC whispers anyway - but maybe my bad memories of that temp miranda player with the white dragon

Image: Loosend

Youtargim: One of your new maps tonight

Youtargim: and Youtargim is on it

seyfert (Raelynn): nope can't do whisper

seyfert (Raelynn): I can (try) to delete token though

GM: Even when I was speaking as him?

seyfert (Raelynn): correct

GM: good to know

GM: but you can do that in chat with the slash command

seyfert (Raelynn): wait speak as him again

seyfert (Raelynn): and no, even with slash I couldn't get it to work last time

Youtargim: This will be fun

Raelynn: test

-> Raelynn: YEs

Raelynn: y

seyfert (Raelynn): hmm nope sent to you directly

seyfert (Raelynn): not to a specific npc

seyfert (Raelynn): but I didn't see a way to do that to an NPC unless you can from their icon on map?

GM: OK so back to normal conversation

GM: Ok then

seyfert (Raelynn): ah well, as Lisa said, hopefully minimal whispered convo

LorieD (Licornah): (why does Seyfert have Marco's character's icon)?

GM: clicking and dragging lines of conversation

seyfert (Raelynn): FG quirk of someone copying text (Marco) someone else wrote (me)

GM: is my guess

Shislif: bathroom break brb :)

GM: and so we are arriving in town on the evening of the 28th

GM: For those who are calendar challenged

MadamePsychosis: is the Loosend map new? reminds me of the Riversbend map

GM: (LINK)

GM: No not new, just have not used it in quite a while

GM: Rivers Bend will have the same block building look

Shislif: back :)

Shislif: we in game yet?

GM: to give the quick overview/reminder about the calendar. You can get it here under Menu and Calendar

GM: Each month starts with a 1 day Holiday where little to no work happens, then three weeks of 9 days each,

GM: New Years is in the middle of Spring with everything new and growing

GM: You are getting out of Winter, the 11th month, and heading into Spring, month 12

GM: Every day of the year has an individual name, in this case Trallman

springdew (Lanek): i hope there's a way to zoom in on the map. it's not much use to me in this state

Shislif: cool

GM: (LINK)

GM: For those who are calendar challenged

GM: So Trallman 358 will be tomorrow

GM: THe beginnign of the fertility festival holiday bachinall

Shislif: Oohhhh fun

GM: For Spring you should have the Loosend map as an image, there is the decal of the Overall Loosend map on the desktop

seyfert (Raelynn): one map is background you can't zoom in while the other has +/- to zoom or mouse wheel

GM: and as you get to various section of the city I will load those parts of the city

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): do they carry around a giant penis shrine? They did that at the last fertility festival I went to

GM: and Spring that is the decal not the map

Image: Loosend

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ngl, I will never understand the calendar.

GM: and in the pinned messages there is the how to resize everything in FG

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I barely understand the one I use IRL

GM: I will remind you as needed no worries Lemon

GM: Just refreshing for some

Lanek: thanks. pinned in Discord?

Shislif: so what do we need to do i nLoosend? just get a ship?

GM: and as always I am keeping the number of images shared low for ease of flipping through the maps, etc

GM: Yes to Sharif, that is the plan

Shislif: cool

GM: Records, Images and you can see what maps, etc. you have Spring

seyfert: whatever we want

Zayden: can i use information gathering when get into town?

Springity Thingity: not what, where

Shislif (Zayden): OOC

GM: Yes to Sharif

seyfert: I was hoping TMO and Michael would be here for the underground bare knuckle match...

Springity Thingity: is there a way to pin a message in FG?

Shislif (Zayden): Sweet

Springity Thingity: or is it pinned in Discord or somwhere else?

GM: Over in Discord Spring, Carissa highlighted it for you also

Springity Thingity: thanks

Springity Thingity: i don't see it but discord is hard to use on phone

GM: Sadly the boxing and wrestling matches that I had set up for tonight that Michael and TMO were talking about looks like it will not happen

GM: but we will go on

seyfert: I mean night is still young, they could make it

GM: Spring, Carissa tagged you in the post in the FGU Implementation channel

'Master TMO' connected

GM: and here he is

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How quickly you lose hope

GM: chuckles

GM: so the first thing for In Character is to find a place to stay for the night, and a quick Out of Character about the boats and what is possible

Link: Ships & Water Travel

GM: You can see on that list which types of boats will hold this crew

Shislif (Zayden): do we have a lot of cargo?

Master TMO: (I think I'm in)

GM: You have 12 characters right now, a wagon, four horses, and a large boar

GM: yes you are TMO

Licornah: (Evening TMO)

seyfert: hi TMO!

MadamePsychosis: Hi TMO!

seyfert: uhh are we taking the wagon and horses on a boat? I thought we were leaving them....

Shislif (Zayden): cool

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We're taking the boar for sure

GM: That is what is up for discussion now

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wagon and horses, I couldn't care less what we do with them

GM: both OOC and IC

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): of course we are, we need rations

GM: You can see on that list of ships which ones can hold a group your size

MadamePsychosis: no we're storing the wagon and horses. Bob just says that to make trouble

GM: chuckles

seyfert: okay that's what I thought

Springity Thingity: okay i think i can see AND chat now :-)

GM: Or to get Lisa to speak up

Zayden: oh ok

GM: Lisa is your most experienced person in dealing with boats

GM: then TMO and Marco

GM: They were all part of Pirate Queens

MadamePsychosis: basically with 12 people we need a knarr - nothing else will work

GM: But yes to Sharif, that Zayden would know most of what is on that page as well as Youtargim knows

Master TMO (Craigh): HAH if you expect me to remember any details from that unprompted! ;)

seyfert: One named Buttercup.

Shislif (Zayden): YOu mean the boat stuff?

GM: Shhhhhh Carissa

MadamePsychosis: if bob screws us on knarr availability we will have to buy spots on a larger ship going to riversbend and try again there

seyfert: I'm just speaking out loud, feel free to ignore me.

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): Are we buying or chartering a boat?

MadamePsychosis: I was hoping to rent one rather than buying one

User has gone AFK. (Master TMO)

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): If we're chartering, figuring out how to get it from point a to point b is the captain's job, not ours

MadamePsychosis: we have no place to store it and would have to resell it when we return

MadamePsychosis: the group is the crew

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): Who charters a boat and crews it themselves?

MadamePsychosis: navigation will be for the ones with skills but everyone will have to help

MadamePsychosis: well ... a knar can only hold 12

GM: Is why I pointed out the Ships and Travel link for you Marco

MadamePsychosis: next up is a longboat that needs a crew of at least 16

MadamePsychosis: 16 is the barely manned crew

Bixi Fizzlebang: Zayden, I've written a song, would you like to hear it?

Zayden: Oh yes please!

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): I assume most of us don't have sailing skills. probably can't even swim. we pay people to crew for us or this is a suicide trip

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi and Knotty, best friends forever! Best friends until the eeeeeend. If they try to make me leave you behind, they'll never see me agaaaaain

Zayden: Beautiful! I like the part about you and Knotty together till the end

MadamePsychosis: sigh

seyfert (Raelynn): half of us can swim, at least two can navigate

MadamePsychosis: we've done this before but with more cooperation

GM: IF you really want to pay the extra for a crew too then you need to double or quadruple your costs

Shislif (Zayden): I can swim

springdew (Lanek): Lanek has boating

seyfert (Raelynn): our last river trip was less skilled than this group and we were fine

Shislif (Zayden): Zayden too

MadamePsychosis: if everyone wants to hire a longboat with a crew of 40 then fine

GM: Knarr 12/8/6 8

Raelynn: nope I'm still voting for a Knarr named Buttercup.

Shislif (Zayden): what kind of cargo capacity do we need?

GM: Longship 50/40/16 150

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm fine being crew. Or whatever, as long as I don't have to leave Knotty. Literally anything else I'm fine with

MadamePsychosis: baor capacity

GM: Longship holds 10 tons, Knarr holds 50 tons

MadamePsychosis: last boat trip we carried a dragon's head in the hold along with all other stuff and it fit fine

seyfert (Raelynn): and three wolves

MadamePsychosis: don't even ask

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): knar allows for 8 passengers who aren't crewing

seyfert (Raelynn): boar is less than all that

MadamePsychosis: John and Mario wanted to bring it back

seyfert (Raelynn): Did we do anything with it? I don't remember...

GM: not really

MadamePsychosis: I can't remember

seyfert (Raelynn): Is it just... hanging out somewhere? In Bran's basement? Kel hang it in the treehouse? Something?

MadamePsychosis: lol

MadamePsychosis: I'm fine with hiring an npc or two so PCs who don't want to help can go below deck and stay out of the way

GM: Nobles ride up to Dragon Fen Manor, what is that? in disbelief... Jilly says, OH that dragon skull? Branwyn left it there from a previous trip and did not get around to mounting it yet, you know how it is when you adventure. So would you like more scones?

MadamePsychosis: but can't see us hiring 8 crew people

User is back. (Master TMO)

Springity Thingity: maybe we leased it out

MadamePsychosis: lol bob

Springity Thingity: haha

seyfert: lol

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): doesn't the crew just come with the chartering of the ship?

GM: If you get a fully crewed ship, then only 8 of you 12 can go along on the rest of the adventure

MadamePsychosis: you can ask - never asked for a crew when we wanted control of the ship

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): where are we going again?

Master TMO (Craigh): is that the trip where we got ambushed on the boat and a pirate held a knife to Bran's throat and said "nobody move" and Ilero tried (and failed miserably) to punch him out?

MadamePsychosis: yes that was the trip :)

GM: From Loosend to Rivers Bend, that is leg two of this adventure, it is 330 miles by river

Master TMO (Craigh): I can remember some things when prompted

GM: Then after you get to Rivers Bend you have to get to Dryads Lair

GM: again by boat

GM: Leg two map is shared here as an image

MadamePsychosis: the other option like I said is looking for a larger ship going our way and we pay as passengers or work on the ship to pay our way

GM: and TMO highlights why we are roleplaying out this trip grins

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): how about we charter 2 keelboats then? cheaper than 1 knar and holds all of us

seyfert: not a fan of two different ships. split boats in the swamps is bad enough. you're just ASKING for party split

GM: That works if you leave the boar behind

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): probably easier to find 2 smaller boats than one big one anyway

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): nooooope

seyfert: seriously, we talked knarr before, and if it fits all of us, I know we have the money for it

GM: This is true

MadamePsychosis: that is basically a party split unless we tie the boats together. no one uses range weapons

Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean, if that's what the group decides, that's fine. But Bixi isn't going if she has to leave Knotty. Which is okay if that's what everyone wants to do

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): we can buy 24 keelboats for the price of one knarr

MadamePsychosis: I thought a knarr was the plan .. until now

seyfert: No. From what I'm gathering, two of us are voting knarr. We have the money for it. Money isn't a problem.

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): we can each have 2 boats for the same price lol

GM: cost is not really that much of a factor, you have the funds from Dragon Fen

Master TMO (Craigh): hire our own naval fleet?

MadamePsychosis: You were saying the non-swimmers are a problem, the more you split the party into different boats the bigger chance the nonswimmers will drown

Master TMO (Craigh): and we don't want to do that

Springity Thingity: count me in the yes to knarr group

MadamePsychosis: even two boats and split the fighters and Michael isn't here - that boat is at a disadvantage

seyfert: Especially if they fall in because of scrags and we don't have the fighters for multiple boats

GM: TMO and Lisa also remember the various pirates on the river

GM: Oh, Carissa, why did you have to remember that

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm with Lisa on 1 big boat, if cost is no issue

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

seyfert: Something something Shi almost dying :P

seyfert: It's in one of the opening letters, Bob!

GM: grins

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): I'm more concerned with sailing skills than I am about swimming skills. don't want our sailing to rely on folk who don't know a thing about sailing

seyfert: (LINK)

seyfert: kinda of relevant song

Springity Thingity: okay i have to tend to a thing BRB

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

seyfert: Well you have the literal Admiral of the Naval Fleet with us...

Bixi Fizzlebang: Indigo was an admiral in the navy, no?

GM: so Indigo, Howard, Lanek, Rae, Thistle, Craigh are for the knarr

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

seyfert: Plus a pirate who has stolen multiple ships...

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): wrong button but still jinx

GM: then add Bixi

seyfert: And apparently Lanek can sail?

MadamePsychosis: indigo and howard are only half votes

GM: true

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): If we have to swim, clearly our sailing skills lacked :P

seyfert: because henchmen?

GM: Bixi, Craigh, Lanek for 3 votes, Rae, Indigo, Howard, Thistle for 2 votes total

GM: and LOL with Marco

GM: Lorie?

MadamePsychosis: other option is trying to hitch a ride

GM: Sharif, Lorie, and Marco would be 3 votes also

LorieD (Licornah): (I have no dog in this fight... it's going to take multiple sessions, no matter what we do and it will be more of the same)

GM: Definately several sessions before you arrive at Rivers Bend

MadamePsychosis: but you are part of the group lorie so what you want to do matters

Shislif (Zayden): vote for what?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Splitting sounds like not a good idea to me. We don't have a lot of swimmers. Less chance of being rescued if someone falls in the water

Shislif (Zayden): Zayden can gather info too when we get into town

MadamePsychosis: :)

LorieD (Licornah): (I can't swim and I can't sail. I have nothing useful to contribute on these legs of the journey - I'll bless and chant but that's pretty much it)

Master TMO (Craigh): that's more than Craigh can do. :)

LorieD (Licornah): (this is like month three of what I thought would be a three hour tour)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Your personality and thoughts also contribute

MadamePsychosis: you do have a long reaching lance weapon so that is nice too :)

MadamePsychosis: yes Craigh gets out of rowing duty

Master TMO (Craigh): he can wave a fan at the rowers, for about 15 minutes before he gets tired.

LorieD (Licornah): (I'm tired of herring every week for 5 hours... I'd like some meat and potatoes)

Shislif (Zayden): mmm herring

MadamePsychosis: so are we good?

GM: Sounds like you have the OOC planning handled

Shislif (Zayden): Hope so, sorry got alittle lost with the planning

MadamePsychosis: yeah planning sucks

Shislif (Zayden): lol

GM: So that Sharif understands what everyone wants Zayden to use his Information Gathering skills on.... look for a knarr for hire to go to Rivers Bend

GM: What else?

Shislif (Zayden): sounds good thx

MadamePsychosis: where's the best place to exercise our fertility?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Somewhere to stay for the night?

GM: Once you arrive in town he can go head into the city and start his searching

GM: while you find a place to stay

Master TMO (Craigh): "exercise our fertility"? That needs to be in the summary quotes

GM: Yes it does

GM: (LINK)

seyfert: lol

seyfert: (LINK)

GM: Ok so in the evening on the 28th you arrive on the edge of Tradertown (lower left of your map #30)

Indigo: Finally! We're here

Zayden: Thank heaven!

Human, old man, Slip : Hello there young man

Zayden: Me?

Human, old man, Slip : Scowls,

Indigo: Everyone be careful with your belongings. Lots of pickpockets around Loosend

Zayden: Bixi I think he's talking to you

Thistle: She's not a man?

Human, old man, Slip : you look like you dressed up for the ... HEY! Just you wait a minute

Zayden: Who's he talking to?

Human, old man, Slip : Look here, you little one

Indigo: Hello?

GM: apparently Indigo

Human, old man, Slip : What do you mean to say I have pickpockets in my establishment?

Indigo: I didn't say they were right here

Indigo: But they are around

User is back. (springdew)

Human, old man, Slip : You told your friends to be careful

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: "Oh dear, you have insulted the man's honor.

Human, old man, Slip : Right here!

Indigo: That's because we just got here

Lanek: snorts

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): This guy seems like a weirdo.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Clearly a duel shall be required to save face.

Human, old man, Slip : Just as I was about to insult this young scamp for pretending to be a Druid

Indigo: If I said be careful after someone got their things stolen it would be too late

Bixi Fizzlebang: Who's a druid?

Human, old man, Slip : Costumes are for parties and festivals

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: How are honor duels carried out in this foreign land?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Isn't there a festival today?

Zayden: Ohh I like festivals

Lanek: rolls eyes

Old Woman, Hold: Tomorrow little one

Old Woman, Hold: Tomorrow

Old Woman, Hold: unless you are the kind who likes to get started early

Zayden: Tomorrow will be a great day!

Old Woman, Hold: the docks are full of your type then

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well anyway my name is Bixi and I don't know what you're talking about. What are your names?

Zayden: I actually have some business to tend to before play

Old Woman, Hold: My name is Hold, why do you ask?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Should we not be on a boat and on our way by then?

Human, old man, Slip : You are looking for a boat?

Zayden: It's bad luck to leave a festival on the first day

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well I was TRYING to be polite, but maybe that's now how you're polite in this culture?

Indigo: Ship

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Yes we wish passage for the 12 of us and one pig.

Human, old man, Slip : See your costumed young man does have some manners

Human, old man, Slip : Why are you sharing a pig?

Old Woman, Hold: BO

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I have no idea

Old Woman, Hold: NO

Old Woman, Hold: Do not tell me

Old Woman, Hold: I do NOT want to know

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I think it is for eating later

Craigh: it's a very impressive pig. More than enough for all of us.

Old Woman, Hold: Some things are just not for me

Old Woman, Hold: Mutters, Every year this festival gets stranger and stranger

Zayden: The older I get, the stranger it all seems

Old Woman, Hold: If you are looking for a boat you should go talk to Jorlaine

Old Woman, Hold: She can help you find one

Indigo: Ship

Human, old man, Slip : If she is sober

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Excellent, where is this Jorlaine?

Human, old man, Slip : and has her legs closed

Lanek: chuckles

Human, old man, Slip : Oh I suppose you can find her down in one of the brothels

springdew (Lanek): i was chucking at Indigo saying ship over and over, but the timing made it funnier

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Is there one in particular she prefers to visit?

Human, old man, Slip : Now why are you here in my inn tonight?

Old Woman, Hold: Because they lack fundds

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Looking for a boat. We just mentioned. Clearly we are lost.

Indigo: Yup we lack funds

Old Woman, Hold: No one else would stay with you the way you act

Indigo: Ship!

Old Woman, Hold: What is with you and ships?

Indigo: We need a ship. Not a boat

Shislif (Zayden): Is it too soon to use gathering info? Should I wait till the morning?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We need whatever is available that will float us down the river. The name of the thing is irrelevant.

Youtargim: A boat can get you across a stream, or from your Ship to the dock

Youtargim: We need a ship

Indigo: Thank you Youtargim

Indigo: nods happily

Youtargim: Indigo.... Admiral Indigo.... He will assess if what you have is suitable for his needs

Human, old man, Slip : So you are an Admiral? just a kid? and you expect me to just what?

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Indigo: Ummm nothing?

Human, old man, Slip : I doubt you will find anything tonight

Indigo: Can we stay here?

Human, old man, Slip : NOW you are talking my language!

Indigo: Then we'll look in the morning

Shakes her head

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): These NPCs are weirdos.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Do you have rooms for 12 and a pig ahead of a festival? Sounds promising.

Human, old man, Slip : How many rooms?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: How many beds are in a room?

Human, old man, Slip : Looks like 7 men and 5 women?

Human, old man, Slip : So you need 5? or 7 beds?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: 12 beds

Zayden: I think I'll have a good nights rest as well, then gather info in the morning

Human, old man, Slip : Nope

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: how many beds do you have?

Human, old man, Slip : I have three rooms, one is taken

Human, old man, Slip : So you need 5? or 7 beds?

Human, old man, Slip : I can put down 7 mattresses on the floors for you in the two rooms

Indigo: That would be great

Human, old man, Slip : That way you do not need to worry about falling off and hitting the floor

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: then if you have 7 beds we require all of them.

Indigo: Do you have a place to keep the wagon and horses for the night?

Human, old man, Slip : Can't fit 7 beds in one room, can just drape the mattresses over each other

Human, old man, Slip : sure, the courtyard can handle the horses, the wagon will have to stay on the street

Lanek: i'm good to sleep in the wagon

Indigo: Lanek, you should take a mattress

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Spread them as space allows. Come man, do you truly run an inn or do you just generate needles issues?

Old Woman, Hold: You can come with us, looking at Lanek, you look strong enough to handle it

Human, old man, Slip : You want to sleep inside? or on the street?

Lanek: i prefer to guard the wagon. you know, just in case

Human, old man, Slip : They are bedding people in the arena tonight ifyou want to sleep on the stones

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Do you want to be paid money or are you going to be a smart ass all night?

Lanek: bedroll on creaky wood'll do just fine

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I have met camels that are less stubborn.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, I think I might sleep in the wagon too, if you don't mind some company, Lanek. Keep an eye on Knotty.

Old Woman, Hold: Come on sweety, I can help straighten that wood (to Lanek)

Lanek: considering

Zayden smirks

Lanek: scratching the back of his head while he ponders

Lanek: mmm no thank you, prolly better not, but maybe i'll ask ya another time

Youtargim: quietly to Rae... This looks to be ..... troublesome? Did you say you have family here?

Zayden: whisper to Lanek: She wants to help straighten your wood dude

Indigo: Okay two rooms with lots of mattresses. Thank you

Human, old man, Slip : That will be 2 golld

Indigo: I'll go tie up the horses in the courtyard

Lanek -> Zayden: and she's prolly got experience too

GM: So Zayden can head over into the City to start his investigation

Zayden -> Lanek: haha

GM: and then return for the night

Indigo: pulls out 2 gold to pay

Craigh: How can I help?

Raelynn: Well, my temple family, but my actual family is in Dryads Lair. Some of them, at least.

Indigo: Do we get dinner too?

Shislif (Zayden): Zayden doesn't get to sleep?

LorieD (Licornah): (guessing it's early evening)

Youtargim: Would you feel safer with the temple? (to Rae)

Zayden: A Bard's work is never done

Human, old man, Slip : We can find you a stew

Indigo: I like stew

Indigo: Thank you

Lanek: nodding

Spots Zayden heading out

Human, old man, Slip : You be back before Midnight!

Zayden: Nods

Raelynn: Well... probably but I feel bad leaving everyone...

Human, old man, Slip : The ferries stop then

Zayden: Sure thing Dad!

Zayden: Oh ok thanks actually

Indigo: laughs

Zayden: what time is it again?

Zayden: 6am? that right?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

Youtargim: I could escort you there, if you like, seems like you looking.... You just naturally looking.. I mean it is a festival and all

Indigo: Is Craigh going with you Zayden?

Zayden: Not sure, you wanna come along Craigh?

Zayden: should be fun times

Craigh: Sure, if I can help.

Raelynn: Well we can join this bunch going to town and I can at least stop by and say hi...

LorieD (Licornah): listening

Zayden: Great! Let's do it, you're always helpful Craigh

Licornah: listening

Youtargim: Is it an Elven temple?

Raelynn: nods

Looks over at Licornah

Zayden: Let's check out what Loosend has to offer!

Youtargim: Are you coming with us?

Licornah: It might be nice to see the elven temples

Youtargim: Good to have you along,

Lanek: Zayden, i'll come with you and Craigh, if I don't cramp yer style too much

GM: OK so the party splits into three groups, Youtargim, Raelynn, and Licornah are heading to the Elven Temple on the north shore

Zayden: No worries Lanek happy to have you and your crooked wood

Zayden smiles

Lanek: snorts

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

GM: Zayden, Craigh, and Lanek are exploring the city and gathering informatoin

Shislif (Zayden): should I roll?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Indigo and Howard will stay at the inn and eat stew

GM: not yet

Shislif (Zayden): k

GM: Thistle and Bixi?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'd also like to check out the town... but I need to find somewhere safe for Knotty first

GM: Akilah

seyfert (Raelynn): (Thistle can stay behind too)

GM: You will all have time to explore tomorrow

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Knotty can be toed up in the yard with the horses

GM: everyone is coming back tonight (is the plan) to stay here at the inn

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, great, let's do that then

GM: Sharif, what is the name of this inn?

Shislif (Zayden): Hmmm good question?

seyfert (Raelynn): (be better in naming it than I was naming a town)

GM: grins, make it up

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): anything you want

Shislif (Zayden): oh ok!

Shislif (Zayden): The SnickerDoodle

Master TMO (Craigh): The ConvInnience

springdew (Lanek): The digusted crow

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Slip and Hold Inn - for the NPC names

GM: Good engouh, managed by Slip and Hold

Shislif (Zayden): lol

springdew (Lanek): WITH the typo, please

Bixi Fizzlebang: Honestly... SnickerDoodle sounds perfect considering the attitude of the innkeepers. They make me snicker and the lady wants to doodle Lanek

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

Lanek: i like engouh

seyfert (Raelynn): lmao

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

GM: I will enter that on the site as the name

GM: LOL

Shislif (Zayden): haha didn't even think of that nice one Bixi!

GM: next one

GM: As I work on that,

GM: Rae can explain to Youtargim and Licornah about the temple you are going to visit

GM: It is up on East Bend Island

LorieD (Licornah): (it's a multi-deity or one)

Raelynn: It's the Temple of Hanali Cenali, Lady Goldheart, the Elven Goddess of Romance, Beauty, and Love. We get a LOT of artists visiors.

Raelynn: Quite a few sculptures have donated marble statues to us. There's a beautiful atrium with bellflowers, a small concert hall, fountains. It's very beauitful.

Licornah: [SKILL] Relgion (Faerûnian) - free prof (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 5]

LorieD (Licornah): (confirming that name means something to me)

Raelynn: They'll definitely be preparing for this festival.

GM: yes to Lorie

GM: and now Sharif has his part of Dragonslayer lore on the site

Shislif (Zayden): Yay!

Shislif (Zayden): I roll into loosend like:

Zayden: (LINK)

LorieD (Licornah): (Congrats!)

Shislif (Zayden): thanks :)

springdew (Lanek): hahahaha

GM: As the three continue along you cross the muddy channel here between Tradertown and the City proper

Shislif (Zayden): reminded me of the time I forgot the name of my inn!

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

Zayden: Boy this channel sure is muddy

Craigh: (LINK)

Shislif (Zayden): lol

GM: Then a quick direct cut through the island avoiding to the ferry to the north bank, the river is flowing here in this channel well, the group of Licornah, Rae, and Youtargim pay for the ferry across, go past the Greek Temple and then over to the shallow waters to reach Eastbend Island and the Elven temple there

LorieD (Licornah): (Lorie secretly cheers for the Greek temple)

GM: It takes a bit more than an hour to get there

Licornah: enjoys the ride and the scenery

GM: Jumping back to the men exploring town

Zayden: Hello Men!

GM: Also you all have the Loosend Map

Lanek: we ARE the men, genius

GM: Records, Images, and there is the map you can zoom in and out of, pan around with a listing of places

Zayden: shall we start at the town square?

Zayden: Or the Docks?

Zayden: Or the brothels?

springdew (Lanek): i apologize for Lanek in advance and remind all, he's a butthole

Zayden winks at Lanek

Shislif (Zayden): lol no worries

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: If brothels are where we will find a ship, that is where we should go.

Zayden: Or the Ferrys I suppose is an option

GM: Is AKilah going out with them?

Craigh: Isn't there a docks section?

Zayden: are we looking to buy or rent?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Akilah and the men

GM: south end of the island

GM: and LOL

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): She's going wherever we need to go to get to our destination :P

GM: both at the Akilah and the Men

Zayden: yes there's a North Docks

GM: Lisa's characters with Thistle will be at the inn

springdew (Lanek): is Unidentified map the map? or is base the map? some other?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): so much for the boys night out :)

springdew (Lanek): oh i guess Loosend

Master TMO (Craigh): Bixi has some hidden depths I guess

GM: so talk to me, what is the group of Akilah and the no chill doing?

Shislif (Zayden): can i just use gather info to find the best place to hire a knarr?

GM: That is what I was waiting for Spring, now labled for you

GM: Best place would be the south end of the island, but give me an idea of who you want to talk to etc and I will feed that in for a bonus etc

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): Heading to the brothel and looking for this Jorlaine

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Are we just looking for Jorlaine or are they going to ... partake. Because if so, Bixi will stay at the inn probably lol

Shislif (Zayden): I suppose captains and people who work with ships

GM: That is what Bixi is there for

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh may know a few names of people in under-the-table trading who can point us in the right direction for ship rentals

Shislif (Zayden): Craigh knows some ppl

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ok, cool

GM: so exploring the brothels looking for Jorlaine, and checking on other people involved in trading

Shislif (Zayden): sounds good

springdew (Lanek): concur

GM: So Zayden can make an information gathering check, roll it in the dice tower, you do not know if you are sucessful or not

Shislif (Zayden): k

GM: Drag the die from your skill over to the lower right corner

Master TMO (Craigh): craigh has the skill as well if it can help

GM: that rolls to the DM only

Zayden: [TOWER] [SKILL] Information Gathering [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 15]

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Information Gathering [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 14]

Human, drunk: Hey You! I know you! Smag, right? (sways) You got caught up in that murder for hire (HIC) a couple of years back

Human, drunk: What have you been doing Smag

Master TMO (Craigh): (who is he addressing?)

GM: Apparently Craigh

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

Craigh: grins. "Hey there, guy. Long time no see. You, uh, want to keep it down just a wee bit for me? There's a drink in it for you if you do."

GM: Carissa will come back to you in a bit so you are ready

Human, drunk: Yeah Yeah

Human, drunk: You always were good with a coin or two Smag

Human, drunk: Good Man

Craigh: shrugs.

Human, drunk: Wh'd you show up after all this time?

Human, drunk: AHHHHH

Craigh: Glad to be remembered for something rather than nothing.

Human, drunk: you think the new Prince dosn't know

Human, drunk: HIC

Human, drunk: I bet he does

Craigh: I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Zayden: know what?

Human, drunk: Know who?

Human, drunk: THIS HERE MAN!!!!

wraps an arm around Craigh

Human, drunk: This man is the best man

Human, drunk: You need someone offed

Human, drunk: He is your man

Human, drunk: Man

Deep Sigh

Zayden: Oh ok

Human, drunk: What are you here for man?

Zayden: Ships mainly

Human, drunk: Oh

Human, drunk: ahhh

Craigh: Listen, I need a bit of a pointer. I need to get a boat together for a trip. Who's the best person to start with for a quiet discussion?

Zayden: Do you know where we could hire a knarr around these parts?

Human, drunk: Caroline

User is back. (springdew)

Human, drunk: Caroline can help you find someone with a ship

Craigh: Where's she docking at nowadays?

Human, drunk: Looks at Zayen, Ignore him, he never knew a boat from a ship even after you hit him with an oar

Human, drunk: Only bad thing about him man

HUGS Craigh

Human, drunk: THIS MAN

Craigh: chuckles.

Human, drunk: [d100 = 99]

Craigh: So where can we find Caroline?

Craigh: (I assume that's a failure)

Craigh: carefully lifts the drunk's hand away from his purse.

Human, drunk: Caroline is down in slavers bend now man

GM: and yes very nicely observed TMO

Human, drunk: She is looking for crew

Craigh: Well, we are looking for a boat.

Human, drunk: Ship,

wags his finger

Craigh: Sure

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

Human, drunk: You need to watch this man, (looking at Zayden)

Zayden: me?

Human, drunk: I will be at the arena tomorrow, I have a match

Human, drunk: might even win

Human, drunk: Look for me

Craigh: Good luck, Jeston.

staggers off

Zayden: Good Luck!

GM: and so you have a lead

Zayden: think he was a fan?

Craigh: Of someone.

Shislif (Zayden): Caroline right?

GM: as you ponder your findings

Lanek: now i'm thirsty

Craigh: So, Slavers Bend? Shall we?

GM: jumping back to the Elves

Zayden: we shall

Master TMO (Craigh): going to afk to exercise the canine

User has gone AFK. (Master TMO)

GM: for Akiliah, Bixi and the Men the slavers quarters are in the northern part of the island, #27

GM: Jumping back to Carissa

Youtargim: This is an interesting place to put a temple

Youtargim: This is more like that area in the woods at Dragon Fen

-> Raelynn: Ding

Raelynn: yeah yeah I'm here

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: heads to the slavers quarters or wherever brothels be.

Raelynn: Solonor's Temple? Or that little patch N'laea made?

GM: Marco, Slavers quarters are northern, brothels are southern, is why I mentioned, you get to make your choice

Raelynn: I mean they're all for different Elven gods so they would have some similarities.

Youtargim: Ummm, which is the one deep in the woods?

Raelynn: ....both?

Youtargim: There is some male elf?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: heads southern to brothels because she rather be around whores than slaves

Youtargim: Not a friendly person

Raelynn: ....could still be both

Raelynn: OH!

Raelynn: Solonor's Temple.

Raelynn: Kel is... um, I haven't talked to him but but Nieven is an absolute sweetheart!

Raelynn: *much

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's called Slaver's End? Maybe it's where the slavers were defeated, and there are no more slaves?

seyfert (Raelynn): oh such optimism

GM: wry smile

GM: Lisa can tell you the hazards of large crews for ships

Youtargim: Can I come onto the island with the two of you?

Raelynn: To the temple? Anyone can visit as long as your respectful.

Raelynn: If you make some joke about it being a brothel, though, don't expect me to save you.

Youtargim: warm smile, tell me have I been respectful?

Raelynn: Well you DO have a bad habit of putting your foot in your mouth sometimes.

Youtargim: I could work on putting.... I think this is where I should keep quieter

Raelynn: See? You're getting it now!

Raelynn: smiles

Youtargim: Tomorrow will be hard

winks

Raelynn: Mmhmm so consider this a practice run.

Youtargim: Glad to explore with you

Youtargim: It is rather nice to not have that Mist all around

Youtargim: does it give you a bit of a boost too?

Raelynn: Oh, it's horrid, isn't it?

Raelynn: I much prefer sunlight. I like visiting the inn when I can but then you have to deal with Mist Sickness half the time.

Licornah: I don't miss it at all... we don't have it in the North. I don't know who you angered for it. The group should atone to make it go away

Youtargim: Well hopefully we will not be back there for a while

Raelynn: nods

Youtargim: I heard Branwyn was researching it, but I am not sure what about

Raelynn: Thistle said they learned something about it at a wedding? Apparently it's been around longer than them.

Youtargim: I will follow you two onto the island

Raelynn: Come on, then.

GM: and letting Lorie and Carissa come up with descriptions and ceremonies for the end of winter and beginning of spring

GM: back to Akiliah, Bixi and the Men

GM: I have not forgotten you Lisa

GM: I have an idea there

LorieD (Licornah): (what are the chances of a statue of Lurue -- she doesn't have a temple?)

seyfert (Raelynn): (ping me when my turn, I need to lay down for a minute)

User has gone AFK. (seyfert)

GM: No to Lurue

MadamePsychosis: I have - just happily eating stew with Slip and Hold

GM: for a temple

LorieD (Licornah): (just a statue, she has no formal temples / churches anywhere)

GM: so Marco and Lemn

GM: Lemon

GM: are you heading to the brothels?

GM: Or to the slave quarters

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): yep! to the brothels!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sounds like brothels

GM: OK

GM: so Sharif, TMO, Spring, are you heading to the brothels (with the women) or to the slave quarters

Shislif (Zayden): is caroline at the slave quarters? I vote for where she is

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): Jorlaine... Jorlaine... Jorlaine, JORLAAAAAAAINE....

springdew (Lanek): ditto

Shislif (Zayden): lol

LorieD (Licornah): (Hums along with you)

GM: He told you the slave quarters, so the men heading to the slave quarters and the women splitting up and heading to the brothels

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): I'm begging you please get off that man.

springdew (Lanek): hahahaha

GM: (LINK)

GM: HAH

Shislif (Zayden): nice

GM: ok so the three men heading to the slave quarters in a moment

GM: you go through the city streets, around the temples, etc.

Lanek: (LINK)

GM: back to the brothels and Bixi and Akila

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was thinking of the same thing, Spring

springdew (Lanek): hee!

GM: what are you doing to search and take care during the fertility festival warm up

GM: as you enter the brothel section

GM: and back to the men up in the slave quarters

Shislif (Zayden): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Human, Gentry: Hello there gentlemen

Lanek: harrmuphs

Human, Gentry: (Craigh, Lanek, and Zayden)

Human, Gentry: Here for a more satisfying choice for tomorrow?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: observes the various brothels and looks for which ones are more likely to serve female clientelle.

MadamePsychosis: Lanek leads - sharif and tmo afk

springdew (Lanek): confused - are we in the brothel or the slave quarters? cuz i ain't gettin frisky in the second thing

MadamePsychosis: lol

springdew (Lanek): that's just colonizer crap :-P

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): we're split, half in one, half in the other, I think

Human, Gentry: Many people ignore the idea that you can own the cow and sell the milk, if you like the husbandry similarity

User is back. (Master TMO)

Shislif (Zayden): back :)

Zayden: Hello Gentry

Zayden: So you sell slaves here?

Human, Gentry: I am happy to provide you with the right service for your needs,

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: [TOWER] [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 10]

Human, Gentry: I run a clean establishment

Zayden: Whisper to Craigh: Should we just ask about Caroline?

Craigh: nods

Human, Gentry: I have people who have either chosen to pay their debts in a physical manner rather than coin

Zayden: Thank you Gentry, I appreciate your kindness and the great service you provide

Zayden: Tell me, do you have a female who goes by the name "Caroline"?

Human, Gentry: or some people who have been caught up in a path that does not allow them to choose their life like us

Human, Gentry: No, I do not,

Human, Gentry: Or do you mean one of my buyers?

Human, Gentry: I do try to be careful

Human, Gentry: not everyone understands

Zayden: Yes one of your buyers, thank you

Human, Gentry: Why do you ask?

Zayden: I certainly understand what you mean

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

Zayden: Apparently she has information on a sea-worthy vessel needed for our voyage

Zayden: One with the appropriate this and thats

Human, Gentry: I would guess she does

Human, Gentry: She has seen me to find crew occasionally

Human, Gentry: Are you looking to round out your crew?

Zayden: Where else would one go?

Human, Gentry: I do have a young man who is a decent cook

Zayden: I think that's very possible, we could certainly use your services at that point

Human, Gentry: and of course many strong hands for the oars

Zayden: Gotta have strong hands sure

Craigh: We'll have to think about that carefully. We're in a situation where appearances could be important.

Zayden: Oh there goes my better half again, always urging caution

Human, Gentry: I pride myself on using the most gentle of restraints

Zayden: Still, how could we reach this Miss Caroline?

Craigh: I'm sure you do. The problem is on our end, not yours.

Human, Gentry: If you need a firmer hand then I would suggest asking elsewhere, I like to think of my shop as a cruelty free one

Zayden: Some times I like the restraints to be a little painful

Zayden smiles

Lanek: startles abruptly awake, leaning against a post

Human, Gentry: Then you are here at the right time my friend,

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): great, he's the Thomas Jefferson of slave owners

Zayden: Should we need a crew, you will be the man we see

GM: (LINK)

Zayden: But we certainly won't need a crew if we don't find Caroline

Human, Gentry: I would be glad to assist you

Zayden: Thank you Gentry!

Human, Gentry: I do wish I could tell you where Caroline was this evening

Human, Gentry: I will put out word for you and have her leave a message here for you

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

MadamePsychosis: probably in a brothel

Zayden: Thank you, that would be great

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Craigh: Thank you. Would you accept a small fee to cover your trouble on our behalf?

Human, Gentry: OH no

Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Bribe [PERCENT:Bribe] (vs. Target 50) [FAILURE by 16] [d100 = 66]

Zayden: You sure? Craigh is happyp to pay

Human, Gentry: No need for that my kind sir

Human, Gentry: I would never accept a finders fee until I provide the proper service

Zayden: Ah thank you Gentry, for a slaver you're really a cool guy actually

Craigh: You're very kind.

Bows

Zayden also bows

Human, Gentry: we all have our place in a gentle society

GM: and so

Zayden: What should we do while we wait Craigh?

GM: the men head back to?

Lanek: drink

GM: and the two women are LOL spring

Zayden: I think we've earned a beverage or two!

Craigh: Well, first of all, I need to give you a tiny bit of information on your friends

Lanek: well i should drink. you two babyfaces may not last

GM: the two women are off at the brothels

Craigh: If my information was correct, Countess Branwyn rescued Indigo from slavers. I don't think crewing our ship with slaves is a very good idea.

Zayden: Let's do it Lanek!

Zayden: WEll what if they're just the debt kind of slaves

Zayden: ?

Craigh: Right, of course.

Lanek: oh ho!

Lanek: turns and scrutinizes Zayden in full

Zayden: I mean that seems more reasonable right?

GM: and yes to Sharif, in Hallstatt the Druids (capital D) do utilize slaves as part of the caste system

Shislif (Zayden): Oh right thanks :)

GM: and yes to TMO for Indigo being captured by Bugbears, made a slave, sold to Red Cloak who sold him to goblins, and Branwyn rescuing him

Zayden: Well anyway, that's another bridge for future us, it won't matter if we can find a ship no?

GM: and yes to Spring for Lanek not liking that system at all

GM: and jumping back to the Brothels now

Zayden: Well if we pay them, then they won't be slaves anymore, bad bing bada boom problem solved

Human, mage: Hello Ladies

Human, mage: How are you this evening? trying to get a jump on the festivities?

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): Just like Thomas Jefferson's theory of good slavery

Human, mage: We have the finest young women in town

Bixi Fizzlebang: Umm

Human, mage: I promise we have the priests in every morning

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We seek one of your patrons, actually.

Human, mage: OH? I thought you might want to work

Human, mage: I can give you double the regular rate for you, (looking at Bixi)

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Oh no, we have other work.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, sorry, REALLY don't have time

Human, mage: I know that I can get so many humans.....

Human, mage: That is a pity

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We seek a woman who partakes of such establishments by the name of Jorlene

Human, mage: Ahhhh the ship merchant

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: That would be the one

Human, mage: Yes she is known here,

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Is she here?

Human, mage: It has been a bit of a lean season for her

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: So is that a no?

Raises an eyebrow

Smiles and waits

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: offers a suitable bribe

Human, mage: (LINK)

GM: Without that skill, how much are you offering?

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): dunno, how much starting gold do I have?

GM: [4d12 = 41]

GM: 41 silver left

User has gone AFK. (MadamePsychosis)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have 11 silver, if you need it

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: offers 10 silver, more than enough for a courtesan.

Human, mage: I can make sure that if you return in the morning that Jorlene will see you

Bixi Fizzlebang: Sounds good to me!

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I thank you for your assistance.

GM: So the two women have wrapped up their part, where are you heading to?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Shall we head back to the inn, see if the others found anything?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: That sounds as good a plan as any.

GM: so we have the Men and the Women wrapped

GM: now to jump back to the Elven temple? or Indigo and his luck

GM: Who is ready?

seyfert (Raelynn): (whichever)

GM: go with the Elves

GM: Lead me on

seyfert (Raelynn): (just don't expect too much from me atm)

GM: (LINK)

Shislif (Zayden): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

User is back. (MadamePsychosis)

GM: Lorie, you seem to be leading this part of the temple?

LorieD (Licornah): (HUH? this was Raelynn's idea ;) )

GM: chuckles

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I believe in you, Lorie!

Licornah: :: looks for the nearest courtyard ::

GM: you can feel free to make up a description Lorie, Carissa only have very basic notes

Raelynn: ...?

Raelynn: (LINK)

seyfert (Raelynn): (whole description right there, buddy)

seyfert (Raelynn): (not for courtyard, but for most the temple)

GM: grins

Licornah: :: looks around :: Fascinating art

Raelynn: nods

Raelynn: Many artists donate their works as tribute.

GM: listening

seyfert (Raelynn): (not with this headache)

Licornah: It needs some tapestry... or a statue to Lurue, but really lovely work ...

MadamePsychosis: hugs

LorieD (Licornah): (So sorry... )

Raelynn: Oh, maybe she has a temple elsewhere, but she's not one of the Seldarine. Not sure why she'd have a statue here...

Licornah: Oh, Lurue has no formal temples... only statues

seyfert (Raelynn): (I can respond to prompting, but I'm not going to be good at making things up on the spot is all at the moment)

Licornah: She's not really into formal gatherings for her followers...

Raelynn: Loosend has many different religions here. Maybe her statue is whereever... um, your religion is?

Licornah: :: nod :: Since I haven't ventured this far from home, I didn't know how far she's traveled

GM: There are MANY sanctuaries here in Loosend, it is a key component of the city

GM: This is the largest official Elven one

Licornah: It's very nice... and nice to see so many honored and enshrined -- I mean it kindly

MadamePsychosis: is there a greeter here that could help direct?

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

GM: To be kind with Carissa, we will let her and Lorie add to this portion later on

GM: jumping to INdigo

Licornah: In Silvermoon, there are acolytes who usually greet for the different deities, not sure if works the same here.

Old Woman, Hold: So you are a Hin right? Not just a short person or a kid?

Indigo: Yes. I'm not a kid

Indigo: I am short though

Indigo: smiles

Old Woman, Hold: What did that person say about you being an Admiral?

GM: and thank you Lorie, we can jump back to you in a moment

Indigo: The Queen made me an admiral in the civil war

Old Woman, Hold: Was she just being kind?

Indigo: But I haven't been active for her in many years

Indigo: Huh?

Indigo: No! I was in charge of getting ships for the navy

Old Woman, Hold: treating you like one of those poor people on the street who just needs a handout

Old Woman, Hold: Oh really? did you find any?

Indigo: You give poor people a couple of coppers. You don't make them admirals!

Indigo: You're a silly person

seyfert: (just needed someone else to lead convo, but if we're holding off, then I'm calling it an early night

seyfert: sorry, see you all next week

GM: Feel Better Carissa

Master TMO (Craigh): take care

'seyfert' disconnected

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I'm sorry Carissa

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): feel better

LorieD (Licornah): (Have a good evening - feel better)

GM: and for Lisa, that was over a decade ago....

Old Woman, Hold: What sort of ships did you bring back then?

User is back. (springdew)

Indigo: I arranged for the purchase of many ships and they all sailed to Drillian to help with the war

Old Woman, Hold: I do not remember any battles mentioning a halfling

Indigo: Well I was in Dryads Lair with the Ambassador

Indigo: Otherwise I would have been fighting. But being there let me find the ships

Old Woman, Hold: Oh so you were not even there

Old Woman, Hold: I am glad you did not die

Indigo: Me too

Old Woman, Hold: so many young men did

Indigo: grins

Indigo: I know. I am sorry for that. It was a stupid war

Human, old man, Slip : Yes it was

Plops down a large pot of stew with several bowls

Indigo: The Queen is the queen. Fighting over that was stupid

Indigo: Thank you

Human, old man, Slip : That Queen has been decent I admit

Human, old man, Slip : She has not tried to come oafter us

Indigo: Why would she come after you?

Human, old man, Slip : The last one tried to say we owed taxes

Master TMO (Craigh): (Marisu would have been better :P)

Indigo: But Loosend is independent I thought

Human, old man, Slip : The Prince told her to go suck it

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol TMO

GM: LOL TMO

Master TMO (Craigh): (although granted she had some growing up to do still)

GM: for those who were not here a decade ago in real time, yes Marisu was a potential heir

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): and a bunch of werewolves to deal with

GM: just a slight distraction

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): now her daughter could be in line - hoping she has some by now

starts layingout cards

Indigo: This is good stew

Human, old man, Slip : Thanks

Human, old man, Slip : The trick is to not serve it on the first night

Indigo: Do you read fortunes?

Human, old man, Slip : No I take people's money

Human, old man, Slip : You want a chance?

Indigo: laughs

Human, old man, Slip : Do you have much to lose?

Lanek: industriously stuffs his face

Indigo: Sure

Indigo: puts a silver on the table

GM: to keep it shorter Indigo can make his check

Indigo: [SKILL] Gaming [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 3]

GM: so after several rounds and Indigo having a large pile in front of him

Old Woman, Hold: You better not

Old Woman, Hold: NO

Old Woman, Hold: I can see it

Old Woman, Hold: NO

Indigo: What's the matter?

Human, old man, Slip : I can win the next hand!

Human, old man, Slip : He cannot stay this lucky

Indigo: Oh I'm tired. We should stop.

Human, old man, Slip : No no no

Human, old man, Slip : I need to get some of my money back

Old Woman, Hold: Don't you dar

Indigo: It was just fun. You can have half back. I don't want you to be hurt because we played cards.

Human, old man, Slip : One last hand

Indigo: Okay for this stack

Indigo: pushes a stack towards the man

Human, old man, Slip : If I win I get all the pot

Shislif (Zayden): need to go do a bit of dinner prep, need me for anything?

Human, old man, Slip : if you win you get ... my ship?

Indigo: raises eyebrow

Lanek: looks very interested indeed

Indigo: your ship?

Human, old man, Slip : Buttercup

Indigo: You have a ship? What kind?

Human, old man, Slip : She is not a lot but she brings in a nice income

Indigo: [TOWER] [SKILL] Gaming [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 13]

Indigo: All right

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

GM: Indigo and Slip go all in, for one last hand

Indigo: Deal it up

GM: and on the fourth card, Slip wins

Lanek: snorts

Indigo: Well you get your coins back

Human, old man, Slip : Breathes out a sigh

Human, old man, Slip : You are a good player Sir Indigo

Indigo: I didn't want to take your ship

Old Woman, Hold: NO

Human, old man, Slip : Oh give it up he must know

Human, old man, Slip : It is an honor to host you Sir Indigo

Indigo: Thanks. It's good to be here in a safe place

Human, old man, Slip : It was worth seeing if we could slide a few extra out of it

Human, old man, Slip : Tomorrow I will see if I can help you hire out a ship,

Human, old man, Slip : if not you can hire Buttercup

Human, old man, Slip : she is not the fastest but she is sturdy

Old Woman, Hold: NO discounts!

Indigo: That would be great. We need a knarr. We can't do with something smaller for all of us

GM: so what else would everyone like to wrap up this evening before clicking to morning?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): so how much did he end up losing?

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): nothing special

Shislif (Zayden): Zayden's good for the night :)

springdew (Lanek): Lanek will have several drinks before bedding down in the back of the wagon

GM: I do want to try to have everyone find everything you need for the trip

GM: [3d8 = 9]

LorieD (Licornah): Obtain spell components, pay tributes, etc.

GM: Indigo lost 9 gold

GM: Almost won a ship

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): how long are we going to be on the boat? do we need to worry about provisions?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): will need to go shopping - need to buy wood stuff in case we need to repair the ship etc

GM: last time you did this trip it was two weeks and 160 GP for 8 people

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): let me guess - due to inflation ...

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): for provisions or including the boat?

GM: as you all discuss over the night

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm fine with whatever, definitely going to need to follow others leads on shopping though

GM: and LOL Lisa

GM: emptying and refilling

GM: brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): other than the ship, we can do provisions in stages - just need enough to get to riversbend

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

MadamePsychosis: thought we might get 3 ships though - leads everywhere

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well if that happens, it will be nice to have options, no? Choose the cheapest or sturdiest or whatever

GM: back

MadamePsychosis: yup

MadamePsychosis: the knarr that is most yar

GM: So everyone is back at the inn

MadamePsychosis: need to find a place to board the horses and the wagon too

Bixi Fizzlebang: Our leads bring all the boys to the knarr

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

GM: Licornah can say what she experienced at the Elven temple

GM: and LOL

GM: LOL

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: (LINK)

Springity Thingity: horses go in the courtyard, wagon parks on the street

GM: tell me how you want to wrap things up

GM: Yes for tonight Spring

Springity Thingity: oh you mean for the duration

GM: But for the next 3, 6, 9 weeks?

MadamePsychosis: get a place to board the horses, wagon

MadamePsychosis: buy food water provisions for a couple weeks to get us to rivers bend

MadamePsychosis: see what the deals are on offer for ships and pick one

GM: Do you want to board or sell the wagon and horses?

GM: choosing a ship will be next week

MadamePsychosis: we'd have to buy them when we get back to get home

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): how soon we coming back?

MadamePsychosis: 5-8 weeks? I hope hope hope

GM: When you are finished in Dryads Lair you will have two options to come home, upriver to Loosend and then back, or past Rivers Bend and into Drillian through the Great Swamp

LordBiBo: seems a long time to leave behind our horses and wagon and expect them to still be there when we get back

MadamePsychosis: everyone practice rolling high to skip encounters :)

GM: LOL

LordBiBo: no no! don't practice! you'll use up all your high rolls!

MadamePsychosis: lol

LorieD (Licornah): (at least luck zapper isn't here to touch the dice LOL)

GM: HAH

LordBiBo: lol. poor sean

MadamePsychosis: good point marco - we can sell them then

LorieD (Licornah): (He knows his evil ways)

GM: and does that apply also to the ship? for buying then selling? or hire it ?

GM: not saying you have to decide now

GM: just putting it there for you all to think about

MadamePsychosis: I really don't want to buy a knarr - I didn't bring 6K to purchase anyway :P

GM: so Indigo will have to be really good with the dice

MadamePsychosis: you had said 100 gp a week to rent

MadamePsychosis: I was going off of that

GM: or if anyone else has a way of making money

MadamePsychosis: what does Indigo and dice have to do with anything

GM: Looks at Bixi, and the offers from the brothel

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): noooope

LordBiBo: it'd take forever to earn 6k gold at a brothel

GM: You want to insult Bixi that way!

MadamePsychosis: bixi boar brothel combo? dunno might not take that long

Licornah: (I'm going to purchase some yarn to work on weaving on the ship)

GM: Priest Illusionist Gnome?

GM: Yes to Lorie

LordBiBo: I'd sooner start robbing townsfolk at knife point than wait however long it'd take to brothel our way into 6k

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: LOL

MadamePsychosis: why are we buying?

MadamePsychosis: you said we can rent at 100 gp / week - are you taking that off the table?

Shislif (Zayden): hi just checkin in, sorry doing a bit of dinner business

LorieD (Licornah): (Why don't we have our fighters enter whatever tournament to earn gold and we bet to increase the winnings?)

GM: I did not say you need to

LorieD (Licornah): (I'm a priest, so I can't do that of course, but you know...some of you could)

MadamePsychosis: we have a knarr at portstown that you wouldn't let us take because you said it needed repairs

LordBiBo: we can jack sparrow ourselves a boat

GM: Zayden has been put into the draw at the arena for making some gold for the group Sharif

Shislif (Zayden): oh ok

Shislif (Zayden): like a fighting arena?

GM: Yeap

MadamePsychosis: so now you are saying go buy another one even though there is nowhere to dock it anywhere close to where you live

Shislif (Zayden): goody

MadamePsychosis: stop that!

GM: Not at all Lisa

GM: grins

GM: you can still go through with your idea, just making sure to give lots of options

MadamePsychosis: you do this but it won't fly with me

GM: LOL

GM: Love you too

Shislif (Zayden): will i be fighting tonight or next week?

GM: next week

LordBiBo: We steal a boat, free some slaves, they crew the boat and take it when we're done with it

MadamePsychosis: you are making people despair that we don't have 6K and making Lemon think Bixi will have to become a sex worker to pay for transportation needs

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yout is a pirate, we can send him out to do piratey things and come back with a boat if we need 6k lol

Shislif (Zayden): cool

GM: WOW Lisa makes it sound so taudry

Springity Thingity: i like Bibo's idea

GM: tawdry

MadamePsychosis: that's how we got the first knarr - we got the original knarr from bugbear pirates

MadamePsychosis: we were on barges

LordBiBo: yar! steal the knarr!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It IS tawdry!!!

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

GM: smiles with Lemon

GM: and yes to Lisa and Marco

MadamePsychosis: we can rent a knarr and tell then we need it for 6 weeks for 600 gp

GM: it is a big river, there are pirates

LorieD (Licornah): Okay... so we go to sleep and in the morning, we find a boat that magically appears, right?

MadamePsychosis: yup :)

GM: smiles with Lorie close

Master TMO (Craigh): (Magic Boat!!!)

GM: There IS a ship (winks at Indigo) for you to continue the story

LorieD (Licornah): (Why drag it out... we're missing a main fighter - we can celebrate on the water, huzzah)

GM: Next session you will head downstream in your new ship

MadamePsychosis: yay

GM: I do want to give everyone a chance to celebrate the start of spring

LorieD (Licornah): can we at least look at the town from the water? We have successful encounter rolls :)

GM: I thought part of that was tonight

LorieD (Licornah): :: tosses confetti :: Hooray Spring!

GM: yes to Lorie

Springity Thingity: dance

GM: there will be plenty of water encounters,

Bixi Fizzlebang: twirls a noisemaker

LorieD (Licornah): :: offers confetti :: Anyone else?

GM: as Carissa mentioned Scrags are a problem on the river

LordBiBo: hope everyone brought acid

GM: along with what ever TMO, Marco, and Lisa remembers

LordBiBo: I just remember having to worry about ballast

MadamePsychosis: gars

GM: YES!

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: (LINK)

LordBiBo: closest I had to that was ballet dancing, so I did that

Licornah: A townsperson sold me this map to find something called a Loch monster... named Messy

GM: Character Quotes [Koorin (BiBo!!!)] :: has worn herself out dancing by this point, she pants and says, "So what did the ghost look like Indigo?" [Indigo (Lisa)] I told you. No ghosts. Just a bunch of smelly corpses. [Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Awwww.... so I did all my ballast for nothing?" [Indigo (Lisa)] Ballast?!? Bah, nevermind [Koorin (BiBo!!!)] "Its not easy doing ballast on a ship! It keeps moving and I keep falling down!" [Indigo (Lisa)] You can't do ballast! The ballast is the stuff that weighs the ship down for bal... [Indigo (Lisa)] Who is telling you these things? Maybe you should stick to cooking

MadamePsychosis: Koorin was great

LordBiBo: lol

GM: The next few sessions the group is on the ship, no avoiding encounters, deal with them, and move downstream

LordBiBo: was that the same time that what's his name put on that necklace of strangling because I told him not to?

GM: Yes to Marco

MadamePsychosis: lol

LordBiBo: and we had to dig through the party pack to find something to keep him from dying

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I like how you specifically point out no avoiding encounters. As if that's something we habitually do...

GM: You did Lemon, you totally sidestepped the owlbears

LorieD (Licornah): (that's for my benefit ;))

LordBiBo: harder to avoid when you're stuck on a river

LordBiBo: only one way to go

LorieD (Licornah): (we were supposed to find a priest... no one bothered...we skipped the owlbears, etc. There will be consequences on the way back )

MadamePsychosis: we *should* be goingback to encounter checks ...

GM: and yes Lorie wants to face things head one

LordBiBo: on the up side, it's also harder to get lost. only one way to go

GM: yes to Lorie and Lisa knowing the world reacts to what you do and what you do not do

LorieD (Licornah): (the only way is through Hell)

MadamePsychosis: there are still choices

GM: always choices

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was being sarcastic

MadamePsychosis: Like when we saw two orcs fishing and then Mike just shot them with arrows

MadamePsychosis: okay ....

LordBiBo: quick encounter

MadamePsychosis: true

LordBiBo: but not our quickest

LordBiBo: we once randomly encountered a shark

LordBiBo: but there was no water

LordBiBo: so it died

MadamePsychosis: that is fortunate

Licornah: If there are licking houses, I'm out

LordBiBo: it was a pretty hilarious random encounter

GM: 12/6/6 Move - this number is in tens of yards per round; with slashes the first number is under sail & oars, the second is under sail only and the third is under oars only. For movement for an entire day multiply the movement rate by 2 for rowed vessels and by 3 for sailing vessels.

MadamePsychosis: tmo - sounds like maths is required

GM: smiles with Lorie, you just wait and talk to Indigo and Howard and Talwin about the WereHouses

Springity Thingity: good lord

GM: I just want everyone to know you will have blisters in a couple of days as you travel down river

MadamePsychosis: we buy gloves before we leave

GM: HAH

LordBiBo: I've got gloves

Master TMO (Craigh): I can keep time on a drum

MadamePsychosis: steal all of Raelynn's hand lotion

LordBiBo: probably not oaring anyway, but I've got gloves

GM: No glove No love - fertily festival tomorrow

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: Lemon is wondering where she wandered into

GM: There will be the math of figuring out who needs to sail / row etc on the trip

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's TMOs job

GM: and yes Lorie you might have spells that will help

MadamePsychosis: second

LorieD (Licornah): Wyveryn Watch, Bless, Chant and a few more

MadamePsychosis: it's too bad we can't have a cannon

GM: between the priests (Licornah, Rae, Bixi) you will have some assistance

GM: no cannons

GM: catapults

Master TMO (Craigh): *whine* but I waaaaannnt one.....

MadamePsychosis: cannon is almost as good as a catapult

LordBiBo: ballista

LordBiBo: easier to aim

GM: Branwyn has a catapult at the Manor

GM: She has been practicing with

MadamePsychosis: she's not proficient but likes it anyway

LordBiBo: planning on sieging her own manor?

Master TMO (Craigh): every time we have a barbeque, she has to tenderize the meat by flinging the cow first

MadamePsychosis: she has this thing about weapons that fling projectiles long distances - not sure why

Springity Thingity: hah

MadamePsychosis: lol tmo

Master TMO (Craigh): has she ever seen a trebuchet?

GM: By the way Spring if you did not see there is a new section on the site called Dragon Fen Conversations

MadamePsychosis: she would like all those things

Springity Thingity: orly? no i missed that

GM: For In Character things over the last six plus years, so Kenna, Snee, etc. can feel free to contribute

GM: Ilero, also TMO

GM: Catapult, Balista, Trebuchet,

Master TMO: I'l take a look at it

GM: lots of things for Branwyn to explore

GM: The next few sessions will likely be more bloddy than the past few

'LordBiBo' disconnected

GM: This river is the only time that Branwyn died

GM: plus several other characters

MadamePsychosis: that was the plague

Springity Thingity: way to hype it

MadamePsychosis: cuz we had to go loot a shost ship

Springity Thingity: i'm so excited now

MadamePsychosis: ghost

GM: anything else you need to have ready next week? Lorie?

GM: grins with Spring

LorieD: I have no useful rowing or sailing skills. I have prepared to my best ability... I'm prepared to die

MadamePsychosis: lol

Springity Thingity: for the first time ever, i actually do have a character with boating skills, so that is cool

GM: (LINK)

GM: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

LorieD: I'm going to work on weaving a blanket that can double as a funeral wrap

LorieD: it's useful and functional

GM: nice

LorieD: practical :)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, I'm always prepared for Bixi to die. Knotty, no. Never. But Bixi? I mean... she's not very good at anything except botany, it's bound to happen at some point

LorieD: Oh and I'm looking for the Loch Monster Messy

GM: and also

GM: (LINK)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol Lorie

MadamePsychosis: we have 8 water breathing potions so all the non swimmers can hold one

GM: good point Lisa

Shislif (Zayden): Hi there, just checkin in again :)

Shislif (Zayden): got some food in the oven

MadamePsychosis: think we're about done?

GM: also remember the Party Pack is there in the Links for everyone to check

MadamePsychosis: just chit chatting

LorieD: Welcome back, next week we're starting with writing our wills since BOB has professed that it will be bloody and much dying

Shislif (Zayden): cool cool, i had a great time, apologies for needing to check out early

Master TMO: yay!

Shislif (Zayden): oh dear

MadamePsychosis: he just said bloody

GM: I think so Lisa, Sharif when you go back and read the chat (everyone does that right?) you will see what you missed and be ready for next week

Shislif (Zayden): sounds good!

MadamePsychosis: you can get very bloody and not die

GM: and Quote to two lines there

LorieD: Oh... it will be fine... I'll read Dinosaur this week, he'll have the perfect comic for this

Shislif (Zayden): I'll be sure to review the chat, have a great week everybody :)

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight!
