BOB Hello there
'LordBiBo' connected
BOB Hello Marco
LordBiBo: Heya
Lorie: Evening Gents
BOB 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
BOB OK
LordBiBo: my pic is still a dwarf though
BOB Yes I need that original pic you used
BOB I do not have it
LordBiBo: still couldn't get it from discord?
LordBiBo: e-mail then?
BOB double checking that again
BOB I tried to download just now and it says I have it
BOB but it is not in the correct folder
LordBiBo: so move it to the correct folder, I guess?
Folder assets refreshed.
BOB and fixed
LordBiBo: wohoo!
BOB It was a bad file, but found a way to resave
BOB and now rethinking the key element tonight
LordBiBo: Aww the file is doing the best it can
BOB chuckles
BOB How was the week Lorie?
Lorie: I have survived another week in Medicaid
Lorie: ;)
BOB smiles
Lorie: Girls and Paul are all happy and healthy
BOB I think that is like Carissa and horses
Lorie: the important stuff. I'm all registered to work the polls this November
Lorie: How are things in So. Fla?
BOB That is excellent!
BOB Things are good, today was the last complicated day for the summer
Lorie: Glad to hear you survived that :)
BOB all the other events are one event at one library
BOB I tried to keep it to three buildings a day for the summer
BOB sometimes it hit 4
BOB but most times 3
Lorie: Smart strategy
BOB One tomorrow, 2 on monday, 2 on Friday
'Lisa' connected
Lorie: Whoo - still a lot

'Shislif' connected
Lemon: Wow, that was some quick loading
Lemon: Hello everyone
Lisa: Hello :)
'Carissa' connected
Sharif: Hi there :)
BOB Hello to Sharif, welcome as your first official session as a Dragonslayer
BOB Welcome Carissa too
BOB only missing TMO now
Lorie: Evening Sharif and Carissa
Sharif: were the previous sessions not official?
BOB they were your audition
Sharif: But thanks!
BOB you passed
Lemon: How do you decide when it's official?
Sharif: yay, that's nice :)
Lorie: We used to vote
BOB After I poll the other players
Lorie: I don't know what they do now
BOB and someone plays out at least one story arc
Carissa: Hi all!
Sharif: Damn it feels good to be a Dragonslayer :)
BOB so we see all the sides someone brings to the table
Lisa: Yay!
Lemon: I never got a poll? I mean, I would have boted yes anyway, but just saying
Lemon: boted=voted
BOB grins,
Lorie: Me either... no vote from me
Link: FGU Notes on the site
BOB There is the link for the notes we have so far on using FG
BOB including the way to use whispers in chat,
BOB Lemon is the expert at that
BOB Now you have a new way too
Carissa: I think he only polled himself...
Lemon: Lol, polled all the NPCs
Lisa: you said only missing TMO - no Marco tonight?
BOB See
Lorie: Highly likely Sharif
BOB Marco is here being quiet
Lorie: Marco is here... he was the early bird
LordBiBo: I'm here
Lisa: hello :)
LordBiBo: ::waves::
Sharif: Highly likely?
'Spring' connected
Lorie: That he polled himself... or the players he thought might have contention about your status :)
BOB grins
Sharif: oh haha :)
BOB so I did want Lemon and anyone to test the new whisper option as well, we know it works to me
BOB and testing how to use it to go to another Player rather than Character
BOB Hello Spring
Spring: hi hi
Carissa: Hi Spring!
Spring: hello!
Lisa: it's w/ and name?
Lorie: Evening Spring
Sharif: Hi there :)
Lisa: Hi Spring
Spring: hey!
Spring: hallo!
BOB I mess them up all the time Lisa, is why I asked our expert (Lemon) to assist
Carissa (Raelynn): (if someone wants to load their character we can see if there's a button for them)
Raelynn -> Indigo: Success!
Carissa (Raelynn): right click
Indigo -> Raelynn: how did you do that?
Carissa (Raelynn): very nice and easy!
Raelynn -> Indigo: right click portrait
BOB 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)
BOB LOL Lemon
Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Licornah: snicker snicker wisecrack
Indigo -> Raelynn: nice! Thanks!
Lanek -> Raelynn: hi there
Raelynn -> Lanek: hello!
Sharif: where are we again? locationwise?
BOB Now can you see how to make it work, or assist others with Player to Player please
Carissa (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
BOB 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 ::
Sharif: 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
Lorie (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
Carissa (Raelynn): yeah has to be to a character not player
Lanek -> Licornah: i see your test message
<font color="#000000">GM : [Translation] I tried to whisper in a different language did not work
<font color="#000000">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 :)
Carissa (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.
BOB LOL with Lemon
Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Definitely
Raelynn -> Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean definitely not!
BOB OK so back to normal conversation
Carissa (Raelynn): But this is normal convo with Lemon...
BOB we still need to type here in chat to whisper to the NPCs
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, this is very normal
BOB I think
Carissa (Raelynn): I couldn't get Youtargim to work
Youtargim: Testing at Youtargim
Youtargim: try now please
Carissa (Raelynn): Can you put his icon on a map and see if we can do it that way?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, we can just whisper to you and specify who it's for?
Carissa (Raelynn): Oh true
Carissa (Raelynn): A little extra work for Lisa but it's a start
Carissa (Raelynn): Did... did you already name the ship we haven't hired yet?
Lisa: 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
Carissa (Raelynn): nope can't do whisper
Carissa (Raelynn): I can (try) to delete token though
BOB Even when I was speaking as him?
Carissa (Raelynn): correct
BOB good to know
BOB but you can do that in chat with the slash command
Carissa (Raelynn): wait speak as him again
Carissa (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
Carissa (Raelynn): hmm nope sent to you directly
Carissa (Raelynn): not to a specific npc
Carissa (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
BOB Ok then
Carissa (Raelynn): ah well, as Lisa said, hopefully minimal whispered convo
Lorie (Licornah): (why does Carissa have Marco's character's icon)?
BOB clicking and dragging lines of conversation
Carissa (Raelynn): FG quirk of someone copying text (Marco) someone else wrote (me)
BOB is my guess
Sharif: bathroom break brb :)
BOB and so we are arriving in town on the evening of the 28th
BOB For those who are calendar challenged
Lisa: is the Loosend map new? reminds me of the Riversbend map
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.FullYear">(LINK)</a>
BOB No not new, just have not used it in quite a while
BOB Rivers Bend will have the same block building look
Sharif: back :)
Sharif: we in game yet?
BOB to give the quick overview/reminder about the calendar. You can get it here under Menu and Calendar
BOB Each month starts with a 1 day Holiday where little to no work happens, then three weeks of 9 days each,
BOB New Years is in the middle of Spring with everything new and growing
BOB You are getting out of Winter, the 11th month, and heading into Spring, month 12
BOB Every day of the year has an individual name, in this case Trallman
Spring (Lanek): i hope there's a way to zoom in on the map. it's not much use to me in this state
Sharif: cool
GM: (LINK)
GM: For those who are calendar challenged
BOB So Trallman 358 will be tomorrow
BOB THe beginnign of the fertility festival holiday bachinall
Sharif: Oohhhh fun
BOB For Spring you should have the Loosend map as an image, there is the decal of the Overall Loosend map on the desktop
Carissa (Raelynn): one map is background you can't zoom in while the other has +/- to zoom or mouse wheel
BOB 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
BOB and Spring that is the decal not the map
Image: Loosend
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ngl, I will never understand the calendar.
BOB and in the pinned messages there is the how to resize everything in FG
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I barely understand the one I use IRL
BOB I will remind you as needed no worries Lemon
BOB Just refreshing for some
Lanek: thanks. pinned in Discord?
Sharif: so what do we need to do i nLoosend? just get a ship?
BOB and as always I am keeping the number of images shared low for ease of flipping through the maps, etc
BOB Yes to Sharif, that is the plan
Sharif: cool
BOB Records, Images and you can see what maps, etc. you have Spring
Carissa: whatever we want
Zayden: can i use information gathering when get into town?
Spring: not what, where
Shislif (Zayden): OOC
BOB Yes to Sharif
Carissa: I was hoping TMO and Michael would be here for the underground bare knuckle match...
Spring: is there a way to pin a message in FG?
Shislif (Zayden): Sweet
Spring: or is it pinned in Discord or somwhere else?
BOB Over in Discord Spring, Carissa highlighted it for you also
Spring: thanks
Spring: i don't see it but discord is hard to use on phone
BOB 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
BOB but we will go on
Carissa: I mean night is still young, they could make it
BOB Spring, Carissa tagged you in the post in the FGU Implementation channel
'TMO' connected
BOB and here he is
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How quickly you lose hope
BOB chuckles
BOB 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
BOB You can see on that list which types of boats will hold this crew
Shislif (Zayden): do we have a lot of cargo?
TMO: (I think I'm in)
BOB You have 12 characters right now, a wagon, four horses, and a large boar
BOB yes you are TMO
Licornah: (Evening TMO)
Carissa: hi TMO!
Lisa: Hi TMO!
Carissa: uhh are we taking the wagon and horses on a boat? I thought we were leaving them....
Shislif (Zayden): cool
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We're taking the boar for sure
BOB That is what is up for discussion now
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wagon and horses, I couldn't care less what we do with them
BOB both OOC and IC
LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): of course we are, we need rations
BOB You can see on that list of ships which ones can hold a group your size
Lisa: no we're storing the wagon and horses. Bob just says that to make trouble
BOB chuckles
Carissa: okay that's what I thought
Spring: okay i think i can see AND chat now :-)
BOB Or to get Lisa to speak up
Zayden: oh ok
BOB Lisa is your most experienced person in dealing with boats
BOB then TMO and Marco
BOB They were all part of Pirate Queens
Lisa: basically with 12 people we need a knarr - nothing else will work
BOB But yes to Sharif, that Zayden would know most of what is on that page as well as Youtargim knows
TMO (Craigh): HAH if you expect me to remember any details from that unprompted! ;)
Carissa: One named Buttercup.
Shislif (Zayden): YOu mean the boat stuff?
BOB Shhhhhh Carissa
Lisa: if bob screws us on knarr availability we will have to buy spots on a larger ship going to riversbend and try again there
Carissa: I'm just speaking out loud, feel free to ignore me.
LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): Are we buying or chartering a boat?
Lisa: I was hoping to rent one rather than buying one
User has gone AFK. (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
Lisa: we have no place to store it and would have to resell it when we return
Lisa: the group is the crew
LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): Who charters a boat and crews it themselves?
Lisa: navigation will be for the ones with skills but everyone will have to help
Lisa: well ... a knar can only hold 12
BOB Is why I pointed out the Ships and Travel link for you Marco
Lisa: next up is a longboat that needs a crew of at least 16
Lisa: 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
Lisa: sigh
Carissa (Raelynn): half of us can swim, at least two can navigate
Lisa: we've done this before but with more cooperation
BOB 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
Spring (Lanek): Lanek has boating
Carissa (Raelynn): our last river trip was less skilled than this group and we were fine
Shislif (Zayden): Zayden too
Lisa: if everyone wants to hire a longboat with a crew of 40 then fine
BOB 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?
BOB Longship 50/40/16 150
Lemon (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
Lisa: baor capacity
BOB Longship holds 10 tons, Knarr holds 50 tons
Lisa: last boat trip we carried a dragon's head in the hold along with all other stuff and it fit fine
Carissa (Raelynn): and three wolves
Lisa: don't even ask
LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): knar allows for 8 passengers who aren't crewing
Carissa (Raelynn): boar is less than all that
Lisa: John and Mario wanted to bring it back
Carissa (Raelynn): Did we do anything with it? I don't remember...
BOB not really
Lisa: I can't remember
Carissa (Raelynn): Is it just... hanging out somewhere? In Bran's basement? Kel hang it in the treehouse? Something?
Lisa: lol
Lisa: 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
BOB 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?
Lisa: but can't see us hiring 8 crew people
User is back. (TMO)
Spring: maybe we leased it out
Lisa: lol bob
Spring: haha
Carissa: lol
LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): doesn't the crew just come with the chartering of the ship?
BOB If you get a fully crewed ship, then only 8 of you 12 can go along on the rest of the adventure
Lisa: 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?
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?
Lisa: yes that was the trip :)
BOB From Loosend to Rivers Bend, that is leg two of this adventure, it is 330 miles by river
TMO (Craigh): I can remember some things when prompted
BOB Then after you get to Rivers Bend you have to get to Dryads Lair
BOB again by boat
BOB Leg two map is shared here as an image
Lisa: 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
BOB 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
Carissa: not a fan of two different ships. split boats in the swamps is bad enough. you're just ASKING for party split
BOB 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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): nooooope
Carissa: seriously, we talked knarr before, and if it fits all of us, I know we have the money for it
BOB This is true
Lisa: 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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): we can buy 24 keelboats for the price of one knarr
Lisa: I thought a knarr was the plan .. until now
Carissa: 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
BOB cost is not really that much of a factor, you have the funds from Dragon Fen
TMO (Craigh): hire our own naval fleet?
Lisa: 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
TMO (Craigh): and we don't want to do that
Spring: count me in the yes to knarr group
Lisa: even two boats and split the fighters and Michael isn't here - that boat is at a disadvantage
Carissa: Especially if they fall in because of scrags and we don't have the fighters for multiple boats
BOB TMO and Lisa also remember the various pirates on the river
BOB Oh, Carissa, why did you have to remember that
TMO (Craigh): I'm with Lisa on 1 big boat, if cost is no issue
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Carissa: Something something Shi almost dying :P
Carissa: It's in one of the opening letters, Bob!
BOB 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
Carissa: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSfRRBNPfFs">(LINK)</a>
Carissa: kinda of relevant song
Spring: okay i have to tend to a thing BRB
User has gone AFK. (Spring)
Carissa: Well you have the literal Admiral of the Naval Fleet with us...
Bixi Fizzlebang: Indigo was an admiral in the navy, no?
BOB so Indigo, Howard, Lanek, Rae, Thistle, Craigh are for the knarr
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol
Carissa: Plus a pirate who has stolen multiple ships...
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): wrong button but still jinx
BOB then add Bixi
Carissa: And apparently Lanek can sail?
Lisa: indigo and howard are only half votes
BOB true
LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): If we have to swim, clearly our sailing skills lacked :P
Carissa: because henchmen?
BOB Bixi, Craigh, Lanek for 3 votes, Rae, Indigo, Howard, Thistle for 2 votes total
BOB and LOL with Marco
BOB Lorie?
Lisa: other option is trying to hitch a ride
BOB Sharif, Lorie, and Marco would be 3 votes also
Lorie (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)
BOB Definately several sessions before you arrive at Rivers Bend
Lisa: but you are part of the group lorie so what you want to do matters
Shislif (Zayden): vote for what?
Lemon (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
Lisa: :)
Lorie (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)
TMO (Craigh): that's more than Craigh can do. :)
Lorie (Licornah): (this is like month three of what I thought would be a three hour tour)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Your personality and thoughts also contribute
Lisa: you do have a long reaching lance weapon so that is nice too :)
Lisa: yes Craigh gets out of rowing duty
TMO (Craigh): he can wave a fan at the rowers, for about 15 minutes before he gets tired.
Lorie (Licornah): (I'm tired of herring every week for 5 hours... I'd like some meat and potatoes)
Shislif (Zayden): mmm herring
Lisa: so are we good?
BOB Sounds like you have the OOC planning handled
Shislif (Zayden): Hope so, sorry got alittle lost with the planning
Lisa: yeah planning sucks
Shislif (Zayden): lol
BOB 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
BOB What else?
Shislif (Zayden): sounds good thx
Lisa: where's the best place to exercise our fertility?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Somewhere to stay for the night?
BOB Once you arrive in town he can go head into the city and start his searching
BOB while you find a place to stay
TMO (Craigh): "exercise our fertility"? That needs to be in the summary quotes
BOB Yes it does
BOB (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoOXbP7hmc0">(LINK)</a>
Carissa: lol
Carissa: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izGwDsrQ1eQ">(LINK)</a>
BOB 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?
BOB 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. (Spring)
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
Lemon (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
Spring (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
Lemon (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
BOB So Zayden can head over into the City to start his investigation
Zayden -> Lanek: haha
BOB 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?
Lorie (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?
Lemon (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...
Lorie (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
BOB OK so the party splits into three groups, Youtargim, Raelynn, and Licornah are heading to the Elven Temple on the north shore

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.

Zayden: Boy this channel sure is muddy
Craigh: (LINK)

BOB 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?
Spring (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
BOB Is AKilah going out with them?
Craigh: Isn't there a docks section?
Zayden: are we looking to buy or rent?
Lisa (Indigo): Akilah and the men

BOB 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?
BOB That is what I was waiting for Spring, now labled for you
BOB 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
Lemon (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
BOB That is what Bixi is there for
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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ok, cool
BOB so exploring the brothels looking for Jorlaine, and checking on other people involved in trading
Shislif (Zayden): sounds good
Spring (Lanek): concur

Human, drunk: What have you been doing Smag
TMO (Craigh): (who is he addressing?)
BOB Apparently Craigh
User has gone AFK. (Spring)
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."
BOB Carissa will come back to you in a bit so you are ready
Human, drunk: Yeah Yeah

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

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. (Spring)
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
BOB 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
Lisa (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!
BOB and so you have a lead
Zayden: think he was a fan?
Craigh: Of someone.
Shislif (Zayden): Caroline right?
BOB as you ponder your findings
Lanek: now i'm thirsty
Craigh: So, Slavers Bend? Shall we?
BOB jumping back to the Elves
Zayden: we shall
TMO (Craigh): going to afk to exercise the canine
User has gone AFK. (TMO)
BOB for Akiliah, Bixi and the Men the slavers quarters are in the northern part of the island, #27
BOB 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?
BOB 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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's called Slaver's End? Maybe it's where the slavers were defeated, and there are no more slaves?
Carissa (Raelynn): oh such optimism
BOB wry smile
BOB 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.
BOB and letting Lorie and Carissa come up with descriptions and ceremonies for the end of winter and beginning of spring
BOB back to Akiliah, Bixi and the Men
BOB I have not forgotten you Lisa
BOB I have an idea there
Lorie (Licornah): (what are the chances of a statue of Lurue -- she doesn't have a temple?)
Carissa (Raelynn): (ping me when my turn, I need to lay down for a minute)
User has gone AFK. (Carissa)
BOB No to Lurue
Lisa: I have - just happily eating stew with Slip and Hold
BOB for a temple
Lorie (Licornah): (just a statue, she has no formal temples / churches anywhere)
BOB so Marco and Lemn
BOB Lemon
BOB are you heading to the brothels?
BOB Or to the slave quarters
LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): yep! to the brothels!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sounds like brothels
BOB OK
BOB 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....
Spring (Lanek): ditto
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Lorie (Licornah): (Hums along with you)
BOB 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.
Spring (Lanek): hahahaha
BOB (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ixrje2rXLMA">(LINK)</a>
BOB HAH
Shislif (Zayden): nice
BOB ok so the three men heading to the slave quarters in a moment
BOB you go through the city streets, around the temples, etc.
Lanek: (LINK)
<a href="https://youtu.be/lizBVO4MWFA">(LINK)</a>
BOB back to the brothels and Bixi and Akila
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was thinking of the same thing, Spring
Spring (Lanek): hee!
BOB what are you doing to search and take care during the fertility festival warm up
BOB as you enter the brothel section
BOB 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.
Lisa: Lanek leads - sharif and tmo afk
Spring (Lanek): confused - are we in the brothel or the slave quarters? cuz i ain't gettin frisky in the second thing
Lisa: lol
Spring (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. (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. (Lemon)
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
BOB (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrnovNWC1f4">(LINK)</a>
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. (Lemon)
Lisa: 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
BOB and so
Zayden: What should we do while we wait Craigh?
BOB the men head back to?
Lanek: drink
BOB 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
BOB 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?
BOB and yes to Sharif, in Hallstatt the Druids (capital D) do utilize slaves as part of the caste system
Shislif (Zayden): Oh right thanks :)
BOB 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?
BOB and yes to Spring for Lanek not liking that system at all
BOB 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)

BOB 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]
BOB 41 silver left
User has gone AFK. (Lisa)
Lemon (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.
BOB 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.
BOB so we have the Men and the Women wrapped
BOB now to jump back to the Elven temple? or Indigo and his luck
BOB Who is ready?
Carissa (Raelynn): (whichever)
BOB go with the Elves
BOB Lead me on
Carissa (Raelynn): (just don't expect too much from me atm)
BOB (LINK)

Shislif (Zayden): brb
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
User is back. (Lisa)
BOB Lorie, you seem to be leading this part of the temple?
Lorie (Licornah): (HUH? this was Raelynn's idea ;) )
BOB chuckles
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I believe in you, Lorie!
Licornah: :: looks for the nearest courtyard ::
BOB you can feel free to make up a description Lorie, Carissa only have very basic notes
Raelynn: ...?
Raelynn: (LINK)

Carissa (Raelynn): (whole description right there, buddy)
Carissa (Raelynn): (not for courtyard, but for most the temple)
BOB grins
Licornah: :: looks around :: Fascinating art
Raelynn: nods
Raelynn: Many artists donate their works as tribute.
BOB listening
Carissa (Raelynn): (not with this headache)
Licornah: It needs some tapestry... or a statue to Lurue, but really lovely work ...
Lisa: hugs
Lorie (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
Carissa (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
BOB There are MANY sanctuaries here in Loosend, it is a key component of the city
BOB 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
Lisa: is there a greeter here that could help direct?
User has gone AFK. (Spring)
BOB To be kind with Carissa, we will let her and Lorie add to this portion later on
BOB 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?
BOB 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
Carissa: (just needed someone else to lead convo, but if we're holding off, then I'm calling it an early night
Carissa: sorry, see you all next week
BOB Feel Better Carissa
TMO (Craigh): take care
'Carissa' disconnected
Lisa (Indigo): I'm sorry Carissa
Lisa (Indigo): feel better
Lorie (Licornah): (Have a good evening - feel better)
BOB and for Lisa, that was over a decade ago....
Old Woman, Hold: What sort of ships did you bring back then?
User is back. (Spring)
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
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
Lisa (Indigo): lol TMO
BOB LOL TMO
TMO (Craigh): (although granted she had some growing up to do still)
BOB for those who were not here a decade ago in real time, yes Marisu was a potential heir
Lisa (Indigo): and a bunch of werewolves to deal with
BOB just a slight distraction
Lisa (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
BOB to keep it shorter Indigo can make his check
Indigo: [SKILL] Gaming [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 3]
BOB 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)
BOB Indigo and Slip go all in, for one last hand
Indigo: Deal it up
BOB 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
BOB so what else would everyone like to wrap up this evening before clicking to morning?
Lisa (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 :)
Spring (Lanek): Lanek will have several drinks before bedding down in the back of the wagon
BOB I do want to try to have everyone find everything you need for the trip
GM: [3d8 = 9]
Lorie (Licornah): Obtain spell components, pay tributes, etc.
BOB Indigo lost 9 gold
BOB 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?
Lisa (Indigo): will need to go shopping - need to buy wood stuff in case we need to repair the ship etc
BOB last time you did this trip it was two weeks and 160 GP for 8 people
Lisa (Indigo): let me guess - due to inflation ...
LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): for provisions or including the boat?
BOB 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
BOB and LOL Lisa
BOB emptying and refilling
BOB brb
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Lisa (Indigo): other than the ship, we can do provisions in stages - just need enough to get to riversbend
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
Lisa: thought we might get 3 ships though - leads everywhere
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well if that happens, it will be nice to have options, no? Choose the cheapest or sturdiest or whatever
BOB back
Lisa: yup
Lisa: the knarr that is most yar
BOB So everyone is back at the inn
Lisa: need to find a place to board the horses and the wagon too
Bixi Fizzlebang: Our leads bring all the boys to the knarr
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
BOB Licornah can say what she experienced at the Elven temple
BOB and LOL
BOB LOL
Lisa: lol
BOB (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGL2rytTraA">(LINK)</a>
Spring: horses go in the courtyard, wagon parks on the street
BOB tell me how you want to wrap things up
BOB Yes for tonight Spring
Spring: oh you mean for the duration
BOB But for the next 3, 6, 9 weeks?
Lisa: get a place to board the horses, wagon
Lisa: buy food water provisions for a couple weeks to get us to rivers bend
Lisa: see what the deals are on offer for ships and pick one
BOB Do you want to board or sell the wagon and horses?
BOB choosing a ship will be next week
Lisa: we'd have to buy them when we get back to get home
LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): how soon we coming back?
Lisa: 5-8 weeks? I hope hope hope
BOB 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
Lisa: everyone practice rolling high to skip encounters :)
BOB LOL
LordBiBo: no no! don't practice! you'll use up all your high rolls!
Lisa: lol
Lorie (Licornah): (at least luck zapper isn't here to touch the dice LOL)
BOB HAH
LordBiBo: lol. poor sean
Lisa: good point marco - we can sell them then
Lorie (Licornah): (He knows his evil ways)
BOB and does that apply also to the ship? for buying then selling? or hire it ?
BOB not saying you have to decide now
BOB just putting it there for you all to think about
Lisa: I really don't want to buy a knarr - I didn't bring 6K to purchase anyway :P
BOB so Indigo will have to be really good with the dice
Lisa: you had said 100 gp a week to rent
Lisa: I was going off of that
BOB or if anyone else has a way of making money
Lisa: what does Indigo and dice have to do with anything
BOB Looks at Bixi, and the offers from the brothel
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): noooope
LordBiBo: it'd take forever to earn 6k gold at a brothel
BOB You want to insult Bixi that way!
Lisa: 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)
BOB Priest Illusionist Gnome?
BOB 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
Lisa: lol
BOB LOL
Lisa: why are we buying?
Lisa: 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
Lorie (Licornah): (Why don't we have our fighters enter whatever tournament to earn gold and we bet to increase the winnings?)
BOB I did not say you need to
Lorie (Licornah): (I'm a priest, so I can't do that of course, but you know...some of you could)
Lisa: 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
BOB 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?
BOB Yeap
Lisa: 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
Lisa: stop that!
BOB Not at all Lisa
BOB grins
BOB you can still go through with your idea, just making sure to give lots of options
Lisa: you do this but it won't fly with me
BOB LOL
BOB LOL
BOB Love you too
Shislif (Zayden): will i be fighting tonight or next week?
BOB next week
LordBiBo: We steal a boat, free some slaves, they crew the boat and take it when we're done with it
Lisa: 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
Lemon (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
BOB WOW Lisa makes it sound so taudry
Spring: i like Bibo's idea
BOB tawdry
Lisa: that's how we got the first knarr - we got the original knarr from bugbear pirates
Lisa: we were on barges
LordBiBo: yar! steal the knarr!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It IS tawdry!!!
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
BOB smiles with Lemon
BOB and yes to Lisa and Marco
Lisa: we can rent a knarr and tell then we need it for 6 weeks for 600 gp
BOB it is a big river, there are pirates
Lorie (Licornah): Okay... so we go to sleep and in the morning, we find a boat that magically appears, right?
Lisa: yup :)
BOB smiles with Lorie close
TMO (Craigh): (Magic Boat!!!)
BOB There IS a ship (winks at Indigo) for you to continue the story
Lorie (Licornah): (Why drag it out... we're missing a main fighter - we can celebrate on the water, huzzah)
BOB Next session you will head downstream in your new ship
Lisa: yay
BOB I do want to give everyone a chance to celebrate the start of spring
Lorie (Licornah): can we at least look at the town from the water? We have successful encounter rolls :)
BOB I thought part of that was tonight
Lorie (Licornah): :: tosses confetti :: Hooray Spring!
BOB yes to Lorie
Springity Thingity: dance
BOB there will be plenty of water encounters,
Bixi Fizzlebang: twirls a noisemaker
Lorie (Licornah): :: offers confetti :: Anyone else?
BOB as Carissa mentioned Scrags are a problem on the river
LordBiBo: hope everyone brought acid
BOB along with what ever TMO, Marco, and Lisa remembers
LordBiBo: I just remember having to worry about ballast
Lisa: gars
BOB YES!
Lisa: lol
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.PirateQueens">(LINK)</a>
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
BOB 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
Lisa: Koorin was great
LordBiBo: lol
BOB 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?
BOB Yes to Marco
Lisa: lol
LordBiBo: and we had to dig through the party pack to find something to keep him from dying
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I like how you specifically point out no avoiding encounters. As if that's something we habitually do...
BOB You did Lemon, you totally sidestepped the owlbears
Lorie (Licornah): (that's for my benefit ;))
LordBiBo: harder to avoid when you're stuck on a river
LordBiBo: only one way to go
Lorie (Licornah): (we were supposed to find a priest... no one bothered...we skipped the owlbears, etc. There will be consequences on the way back )
Lisa: we *should* be goingback to encounter checks ...
BOB 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
BOB yes to Lorie and Lisa knowing the world reacts to what you do and what you do not do
Lorie (Licornah): (the only way is through Hell)
Lisa: there are still choices
BOB always choices
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was being sarcastic
Lisa: Like when we saw two orcs fishing and then Mike just shot them with arrows
Lisa: okay ....
LordBiBo: quick encounter
Lisa: true
LordBiBo: but not our quickest
LordBiBo: we once randomly encountered a shark
LordBiBo: but there was no water
LordBiBo: so it died
Lisa: that is fortunate
Licornah: If there are licking houses, I'm out
LordBiBo: it was a pretty hilarious random encounter
BOB 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.
Lisa: tmo - sounds like maths is required
BOB smiles with Lorie, you just wait and talk to Indigo and Howard and Talwin about the WereHouses
Spring: good lord
BOB I just want everyone to know you will have blisters in a couple of days as you travel down river
Lisa: we buy gloves before we leave
BOB HAH
LordBiBo: I've got gloves
TMO (Craigh): I can keep time on a drum
Lisa: steal all of Raelynn's hand lotion
LordBiBo: probably not oaring anyway, but I've got gloves
BOB No glove No love - fertily festival tomorrow
Lisa: lol
BOB Lemon is wondering where she wandered into
BOB There will be the math of figuring out who needs to sail / row etc on the trip
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's TMOs job
BOB and yes Lorie you might have spells that will help
Lisa: second
Lorie (Licornah): Wyveryn Watch, Bless, Chant and a few more
Lisa: it's too bad we can't have a cannon
BOB between the priests (Licornah, Rae, Bixi) you will have some assistance
BOB no cannons
BOB catapults
TMO (Craigh): *whine* but I waaaaannnt one.....
Lisa: cannon is almost as good as a catapult
LordBiBo: ballista
LordBiBo: easier to aim
BOB Branwyn has a catapult at the Manor
BOB She has been practicing with
Lisa: she's not proficient but likes it anyway
LordBiBo: planning on sieging her own manor?
TMO (Craigh): every time we have a barbeque, she has to tenderize the meat by flinging the cow first
Lisa: she has this thing about weapons that fling projectiles long distances - not sure why
Spring: hah
Lisa: lol tmo
TMO (Craigh): has she ever seen a trebuchet?
BOB By the way Spring if you did not see there is a new section on the site called Dragon Fen Conversations
Lisa: she would like all those things
Spring: orly? no i missed that
BOB For In Character things over the last six plus years, so Kenna, Snee, etc. can feel free to contribute
BOB Ilero, also TMO
BOB Catapult, Balista, Trebuchet,
TMO: I'l take a look at it
BOB lots of things for Branwyn to explore
BOB The next few sessions will likely be more bloddy than the past few
'LordBiBo' disconnected
BOB This river is the only time that Branwyn died
BOB plus several other characters
Lisa: that was the plague
Spring: way to hype it
Lisa: cuz we had to go loot a shost ship
Spring: i'm so excited now
Lisa: ghost
BOB anything else you need to have ready next week? Lorie?
BOB grins with Spring
Lorie: I have no useful rowing or sailing skills. I have prepared to my best ability... I'm prepared to die
Lisa: lol
Spring: for the first time ever, i actually do have a character with boating skills, so that is cool

Lorie: I'm going to work on weaving a blanket that can double as a funeral wrap
Lorie: it's useful and functional
BOB nice
Lorie: practical :)
Lemon (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
Lorie: Oh and I'm looking for the Loch Monster Messy

Shislif (Zayden): cool cool, i had a great time, apologies for needing to check out early
TMO: yay!
Shislif (Zayden): oh dear
Lisa: he just said bloody
BOB 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!
Lisa: you can get very bloody and not die
BOB and Quote to two lines there
Lorie: 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 :)
