BOB Hello Marco

Image: Rivers Bend Overview

LordBiBo: FoWEnhanced v1.1.0d

LordBiBo: RefManual Resize by JHarp

BOB Trying new things Marco?

LordBiBo: no, just trying to drag the chat window

BOB Ahh

LordBiBo: and keep clicking the wrong thing

BOB Yeah that happens to me often

LordBiBo: so now that we're finally at riverbend, can I get a quick summary as to why we came out here to begin with?

BOB grins

LordBiBo: because I still have no idea what we're doing

BOB Talwin is yearning to learn Mastery in his two handed sword. In his search he has discovered that the legendary Alexandria, the famous duelist, was last known to be residing at the Drakes Head lighthouse in the Principality of Dryads Lair. Bixi has discovered through listening to Shi that there is a very rare plant called Alexandria (Ashline by the Elves) that can be used to create a potion to restore someone who has been turned to stone back to flesh. This plant only grows in the northern forests and would not survive The Mist. Thistle has gotten a premonition that a member of her clan has been held captive in the prison of Alexandria at Rivers Bend.

BOB So the end goal is to get to Dryads Lair for Talwin to get his training

LordBiBo: you telling me we spent months coming out here for basic training?

BOB Mastery in two handed sword

LordBiBo: lol

BOB only person anyone knows of that knows that skill

BOB and it has only been two weeks of game time

LordBiBo: I thought we were doing something important

BOB It is for Talwin

BOB and there is also the book that Branwyn needs that is in the Royal Library in Dryads Lair

LordBiBo: is it drag a party of 10 people 2 weeks out of their way important?

LordBiBo: what book?

BOB The next story arc: Book Return

BOB The reason that Branwyn is cursed,

BOB She has to return a book to Hell

LordBiBo: she's cursed?

Link: Cosmological Quandries

BOB LOL

LordBiBo: what's the curse?

'Michael' connected

BOB There is a Demon that sends attacks at her, it was the demon's book that the devils want back.

BOB Welcome Michael

Michael: Hurray!

LordBiBo: And we left her behind?

Michael: I dind' tmiss the loot did I?

LordBiBo: yep

BOB Not at all Michael

BOB chuckles

LordBiBo: I got it all. Especially the soft skirt

Michael: Whew. Close one. Although, in an hour, I have to run down to the general store, but it will only be about 10-15 min

BOB and Branwyn stayed behind because she was gone from her family for the past six years, and she is a Countess so has to work on the Estate

LordBiBo: Ypi

LordBiBo: You'll be missing the loot then too

LordBiBo: Sure but like.... she might wanna hang out with her family when she isn't under demon attack

BOB They cannot attack in The Mist

LordBiBo: her base is in the mist?

BOB Yes Dragon Fen is part of Drillian,

Link: Dragon Fen

'Carissa' connected

LordBiBo: Why would anyone want to permanently live there on purpose?

'Lisa' connected

BOB That is a good conversation to have

LordBiBo: So instead of demon attacks, she has to worry about disease and vampire attacks

BOB Welcome Carissa and Lisa

BOB Branwyn, Bixi, Thistle have lived 95% of their lives or more in The Mist

LordBiBo: gonna die in the mist too

BOB Everyone dies someday

Carissa: tell that to the vampires in there

Carissa: also hi all!

BOB grins

LordBiBo: yeah, but my goal is for my death to not involve being eaten by something

Carissa: (also now I'll you a happy early birthday, bob!)

BOB Thank you

Lisa: Good morning and afternoon!

'Lorie' connected

BOB SO now that Lisa and Carissa are here you can help Marco understand what the goal is here at Rivers Bend and beyond. He is just discovering that Talwin is going for Weapon Mastery Training

BOB and he has concerns about living in the Mist and Branwyn's health

BOB and welcome Lorie

Michael: (Don't be concerned lol)_

LordBiBo: I was under the impression that we were travelling for months of real time to at least do some kind of quest, not like... just levelling up one person.

Michael: (Bran is a badass)

Carissa: (LINK)

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

Michael: (You say that, and yet this has been in the making for 6 years. So I kinda take it somewhat seriously)

Carissa: Leveling him up is the quest

Lisa: Marco has concerns for Branwyn's health?

Carissa: We're here for moral support and to do a few other things along the way.

Michael: (Hell, I don't even think we did the final level up for Hugh)

Lorie: Hey all - sorry I'm late

Michael: (Like pirates and loot)

BOB Not at all Lorie

Lorie: Happy Birthday (late) BOB!!!

Carissa: yup! makes it more fun that way, right?

LordBiBo: well, mostly wondering why anyone would purposely choose a permanent residence in the mist, which is known for plague and vampires

BOB Early, it is actually Monday and Thank you!

Lorie: (LOL - I thought it was weird I didn't get my reminder)

Lisa: Thistle needs to rescue a fellow gypsy, Talwin needs to do his mastery quest and Bixi is going botany'ing in the woods

BOB jumping to the rest room as you organize

Michael: (The mist does have downsides, but you can't teleport in or out, no one can scry on you, you are effectively hidden from magic)

LordBiBo: were you having issues with those things before?

Michael: (Well, case in point, the Demons for one)

Carissa: (and Howard has to create a heist)

Lisa: you were here when the new era started -or soon after. Our characters lived here. This is home

LordBiBo: I don't know that trading demons for vampires and plague is a good trade :P

LordBiBo: at least demons don't level drain you

Michael: (But it's also a mistery LOL, because we all will find out one day why the mist is the way it is. At least I hope so. We know what is causing it, just not why it is doing what it does)

Carissa: It helped protect us from a murderous vampire witch queen

Michael: Oh yeah

Michael: Forgot that one ironically enough

Carissa: lol

Michael: Wow. That is the new normal that I forgot one of the biggest quests....

Carissa: we've had many since in all fairness :)

Lisa: Thistle is going to be leading the charge in RiversBend?

Michael: So...in the spirit of planning, I had Talwin pegged for just visting any guids, fighters clubs, or simply just asking around

Carissa: Guessing so

Lisa: We have to figure out where the prison is as first goal

Carissa: Where it is, why whoever it is is in there, then how to get them out

Carissa: Also still waiting for the who party

Carissa: *part

Michael: Welp, don't get caught :)

Carissa: Craigh once TMO is one apparently does know some people we can talk to as well

Lisa: no mist so can do divination?

Carissa: lol

Carissa: Oh true

BOB Yes have been out of the Mist for over a week

Michael: Too bad we didn't bring the crystal ball....

Michael: So Prison first Lisa, then....

Carissa: wait Talwin wants to do fights again? I'm up for that but I thought it was stressful

Michael: (No, not fights, looking for master)

Michael: (I mean...fights too maybe?)

Carissa: got my hopes up with wanting to visit fighters clubs :P

Lisa: only Howard could use crystal ball and you need to know who you want to look at or where

Carissa: at least some arm wrestling

Michael: (Nah, just probably where rumors or masters might hang out)

Michael: (thanks Lisa, I'm always murky on the particulars)

Lisa: Bran needs it to know when you get to dryads lair so she can pop in and grab the library book

Carissa (Raelynn): the perfect heist

Michael: (I mean, if that's his price to teach me I guess I can Armwrestle...)

Michael: (Nice!)

Raelynn: lmao

BOB So I am going to go with the idea that you searched the dead and drowned bugbears, looted both boats, you are towing the one that is still floating behind the knarr, that you then sailed farther downstream to get away from this area, then put in for the night to go over what you found.

Michael: Cool beans

Carissa (Raelynn): sounds about right

Carissa (Raelynn): what'd we get?

Michael: What's our rolls of the dice???

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: dries off her new soft skirt.

BOB I am going to roll that now for you, then we go to the three watches, you know you are very close to Rivers Bend and you will be there in the morning.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: will probably use it as a blanket given how large the previous owner was.

Lisa: you didn't want the reflective charcoal one so you could glow in the candlelight?

Carissa (Raelynn): 100 for platinum??

Michael: (Is anyone keeping track or do I need to write it down?)

BOB and no magic items, etc. but an additional 2,000 GP in the hold of the boat

Lisa: I'll put it in the pack once everything is translated

Michael: (Thanks LIsa :) )

Michael: (so no art object?)

BOB none

Lisa: in a chest? we'll need to room scroll that

BOB Out of the lair treasure you only found more gold

Carissa (Raelynn): except their skirts

Michael: (cool beans. I'm totally swiping some of those platinum pices)

Michael: I keep about 10 in my boot :)

Lisa: you are?

BOB you do have the 25 weapons too, misc clothing feel free to take

Carissa (Raelynn): good weapons?

BOB spears and axes

Michael: None Lisa? :(

Michael: I hate to ask...but what's the clothing? Might be better off to sell that stuff? But we can totally keep if we want it

Lisa: a bugbear spear is about the size of a 10 ft pole I am guessing

BOB The only clothing is the misc things you mentioned wanting

Lisa: we definitely need at least one of those :)

BOB no one would wear bugbear clothing normally

BOB and laughs with Lisa

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): but this is a soft skirt. It's special

Michael: Can we haul the very long spears back with us? Stick it in the armory or something?

Michael: But if too much trouble, then no idea what to do with them :)

Lisa: if people need their personal gold stash replenished gold is better to toss around rather than platinum pieces unless you are buying something large

BOB You can expect to get 300-350 Gold for the boat also if you choose to sell it

Lisa: 10 pp is 50 gold

Michael: Ah, so stash the pp in the room, and take gold

BOB (LINK)

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

Michael: OK. So talwin will eventually take ten gp and stick it in his boot. When we all hop in

Lisa: let's dock the boat for the meantime and see if the gypsy from the jailbreak needs it first

Lisa: sound reasonable?

Michael: the pp? or the spear?

Carissa: yes

BOB Nods, just making sure you all have your summary

Michael: oh boy. If we need 150 pp to break out a Gypsy, I really hope we love them as family

Lisa: we have a very big hold on the knarr - we can toss as many weapons we want in the hold

Michael: Sweet!

Michael: More weapons for the armory!

Michael: I love weapons

Lisa: I just don't want to walk around a big city with that much cash

BOB Feel free to add 20 spears, 4 battle axes to the mix

Michael: We're slowly making Bran the most powerful estate in the land hahahah

Michael: Cool.

'Lemon' connected

Michael: I need to look up Battle axes. I assume just big damn axes

Item: Battle Axe

Michael: lol

Michael: figures

Lisa: I gave Talwin his 200 gp from his arena fight instead of putting it in the party pack communal funds so not sure why Talwin wants more gold ....

Michael: Sorry, I generally just add to the party stash. My bad.

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): because everyone always wants more gold

Michael: I'm going to throw 200 on my inventory page

Lemon: Good morning friends!

Lisa: and delete the broadsword you melted from your sheet

Lisa: Hi Lemon! :)

BOB a spear costs 8 Sliver

BOB Hello Lemon!

Michael (Talwin): good call

Michael (Talwin): was that the broadsword or other two handed sword?

Carissa: Hi Lemon! Actually not sure I said hi to anyone else who joined after more...

Carissa: That's a bit sliver

Carissa: *big

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Michael (Talwin): I just noticed :)

Lorie: (Afternoon Lemon! )

BOB wry grin

Carissa: and here I am also already bad with words, this'll be a long day

BOB A nice easy day

Michael (Talwin): Oh we're just getting started! :D

Lisa: broadsword

Michael (Talwin): thanks lisa. Was searching prior chat

Lemon: It's definitely not the totally-not-evil sword, which I'm pretty sure you threw to safety, which probably looked crazy

BOB So you have your collection of salavged loot

BOB and are in a safe place

Lisa: unless any objections, putting the PP and the 2K gold in the room scroll

BOB You know you arrive in the city tomorrow

Michael (Talwin): That sounds like a good idea Lisa.

Carissa: every day of Talwin with that sword looks less crazy than the following one

Carissa: go for it

Lemon: Will we still be on the water after we get to/leave the city? Or is this the end of the water part of the journey?

Lisa: can replenish anyone's spending cash - people might want to take some copper and silver since common things aren't that expensive

BOB You will need to sail again to go from Rivers Bend to Dyrads Lair

Michael (Talwin): (We could always keep the second ship too. Indigo might have his navy after all.....)

Carissa: good point, what's reasonable amounts for that?

Carissa: especially if we're going into the city

Lemon: Yeah, I wouldn't mind a little spending money, just in case I need to buy another pet or something

Lisa: we have 12 people right? knarr limit

Lorie (Licornah): (I wouldn't turn down spending money either - as it appears BOB never had me roll for initial cash so I have none)

Carissa: yes

BOB Daily food and lodging at the common levle for a month is 20 gold

BOB So under 1 gold per day

BOB to give you an idea of living standards

Carissa: nah thinking more that Thistle at minimum might need bribing money:P

Michael (Talwin): Can we spring for a more secure and accomodating location? Less chance of enounter?

Lisa: 20 silver per person

BOB that is always up to the group

Michael (Talwin): I'll keep ten gold in my boot, but 20 silver in the purse

BOB This is the spot for the OOC and IC for what your ideas for the city are

Lisa: 30 copper per person

Carissa: sounds good to me

BOB I am just answering questions as needed

Michael (Talwin): We can always draw more as needed. If there is a bank in the city, we could also deposit an amount

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): 10 gold in your boot sounds like a great way to ruin your feet

Lisa: everyone had 10 gold I think the only ones that have spent any is Howard, Indigo and Bixi?

Michael (Talwin): Talwin has callouses on his callouses from years of doing it :)

Michael (Talwin): Talwin spent five on the way. We used it for...an inn I think?

BOB 1 stack of 10 coins is just over an inch tall

Talwin: Oh, and bribing the "not robbers" on the highway

Lemon: I'm fine with just copper. I know we're short on group cash now, and I don't PLAN to buy anything just yet, and I know people will help me out in the moment if something comes up

Lisa: Akilah gets 10 gp since she came after cash disbursement

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): cheers

Lemon: No wonder Talwin looks so tall these days

Lisa: you all have to put it on your sheets I can't access people's sheets

BOB actually not so short on cash now

BOB Yes please

Michael (Talwin): Was going to say.....

Carissa: (you missed us getting rich from pirate riches Lemon)

Michael (Talwin): I don't think we are?

Lemon: I'm just waiting on the amount, don't want to mess up the maths

Carissa: we got money again, we good

Lorie (Licornah): Okay sorry, I can write 20 silver and 30 copper on my sheet?

Lisa: we also have some in the party pack for docking fees, room and board, etc.

Michael (Talwin): (Wait lisa, did you seriously put all of Talwins money to him? I feel kinda bad. I thought I was helping to purchase the boat?)

Lemon: Yeah, but everyone bough b

Lisa: yes and you should have 10 gp from before

Lemon: bought Bixi a very expensive boar so

Lemon: She's not really wanting to go shopping with group money

Lisa: we took the betting of 1100 for the party and I though Talwin deserved his prize money after getting beaten senseless :)

Lemon: Yeah, I don't think anyone objects to Talwin keeping that money

Michael (Talwin): Oh okay. Thanks? I think? LOL

Carissa: Indigo and Howard help Bixi buy her boar

Michael (Talwin): I'm glad the betting was ok though

Lemon: Yeah, so no shopping sprees for Bixi

BOB On the Inventory section of your sheet you can fill in and just put the GP or CP etc

BOB and it should calculate the weight for you

Lisa: we can replace the 10 for those 3 now

Carissa: or I can put it on notes and pretend money weighs nothing....

Lemon: Ok, so what amount should I put on my sheet? So that the right amount can be deducted from the party pack. 10s?

Lisa: I want to dock the knarr and the boat until we find out what we're doing with our new gypsy friend. we can always sell the boat before we leave if we don't need it

BOB It is not critical right now for the weight but will want to make sure things are working properly later

Carissa: Everyone should have 10 gold, 20 silver, 10 copper now

Carissa: plus Talwin has his 200 gold

Lemon: Oh, that's so much gold

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): so yeah, about money on the sheet. we don't seem to be able to adjust that number on the left, but can change the text field on the right. doesn't seem right

Lisa: I'm taking it out of the loot we just got Lemon - 10 gp for Akilah, Bixi, Howard & Indigo personal

BOB I just click on the number, type

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, 10g is more than enough, thank you

Michael (Talwin): (I'm going right to the bank with the 200, so don't worry)

Lisa: 10 gp, 20 sp & 30 cp

Michael (Talwin): (never hurts to stash away an emergency fund)

Carissa: Well there was 2000 gold in the hold of one boat, 45 gold on the bugbears, 150 platinum pieces, 375 of copper, 275 silver....

Carissa: we got money, really, don't fret on 10 gold

Carissa: oops 30 cp ok

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ok ok, then i'm adding the 10g, 20s, 30c because Lisa said so :P

Lisa: I worry enoiugh about the cash so you don't have to :)

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): not like there's all that much to spend money on anyway

Michael (Talwin): (what is the EP on the inventory sheet?)

Michael (Talwin): (For treasure?)

Carissa: you are part of the party and helped kill pirates :)

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): electrum

Michael (Talwin): (thank you)

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): I think it's an alloy of silver and gold

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's what I thought, Marco, but then I bought a very expensive pig.

Michael (Talwin): (and copper)

Michael (Talwin): (Greek Electrum)

Michael (Talwin): (test)

BOB Yeap

BOB I am just watching and answering as needed

Michael (Talwin): So...Talwin is planning to 1. Stop at Bank, 2. Meet up with Group at Prison. 3. Help as required. 4. Find rumors or visit mastery locations.

Michael (Talwin): Objections

BOB Talwin knows that the person he wants to train with was rumored to be in Dryads Lair

BOB not in Rivers Bend

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): so why are we here then?

Michael (Talwin): Sigh. Of course. I'm getting way to excited for that

Michael (Talwin): To break someone out of Prison

Michael (Talwin): So, everythign except the bank then. And, as promised, I now need to head to General Store for propane refill. I will be back in 15-20 Minutes. I will take second watch.

BOB OK so a quick roll for watches

BOB Lorie can roll

BOB then Marco

Licornah: [d20 = 9]

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: [d20 = 14]

BOB then Carissa

Carissa: [d20 = 1]

BOB Thank you

Lisa: ouch

BOB so the third watch

Lisa: not another pirate ship

BOB You have settled all the treasure things, distributed the coins, etc.

Carissa: I thought 1 was good :(

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): ghost pirate ship

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oooh, bixi would love that

User has gone AFK. (Lemon)

Lisa: high for watches

Carissa: oops

Lisa: lol

Carissa: Toss Thistle one third, she's probably too antsy to sleep

BOB So distribute the watches can you try using the Party Sheet please?

BOB did we establish if you can change that order on your own?

Licornah: I don't see I can do anything with this

Thistle: (dunno who else wants to be on third)

BOB Can you click on the number next to Thistle and change it from 2 to 3

Thistle: cannot

Thistle: [2 = 2]

BOB ok so I have to do that for you

Thistle: it makes it feel like we can, but nope

BOB So I have Bixi, Licornah, Akilah, Indigo, and Thistle on the third watch

Licornah: I was on the first

Licornah: how did I fall to third?

BOB I just changed the order

Licornah: umm ok

BOB You can be on 1st still

BOB was putting the people who are here with characters to speak

BOB This is the last chance to talk with Thistle before you go into the city

BOB And Indigo who is the person who knows this city the best out of anyone

BOB I do not have a speaking character here to help get the conversation going

Lorie (Licornah): (where is Yout?)

BOB He di the first watch

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: This watch seems particularly dangerous. Almost as if something is going to attack us, do you not all agree?

Thistle: Something worse than pirates?

[TURN] Indigo - [Punching; BSTR: 0 | Bless; ATK: 1; SAVE: 1; CHECK: 1; [D: 4]]

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I did not say it was necessarily worse. Simply more than nothing.

Lisa: we have 5 people on watch?

BOB I thought you would want to talk about things before arriving in the city

Thistle: I just y'all couldn't sleep either

Lisa (Indigo): just making sure I was reading that right

Thistle: Maybe it's your anxiety telling you that.

BOB Right now your last thoughts that people expressed were "we will break them out of jail" so I would think you want a plan for something like that

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Should I be feeling anxiety? Why is it that we come to this town anyway?

Thistle: I dunno. Some people feel it in places they've never been.

Thistle: I gotta save someone from my clan.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Perhaps if one drinks too much coffee.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Save from what?

Indigo: We better be good at jailbreaking or we'll all be in jail

Thistle: Jail, corruptin, you know. Typical city stuff.

Indigo: I was in jail once

Indigo: They broke my arm

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Jail? We have come to commit crimes, have we? One should perhaps start with that.

Indigo: They cut off Esmerelda's hand

Indigo: And cut Sarangar's ear off

Indigo: I don't want to go to jail again

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: From what I am hearing, you are going about that goal the wrong way.

Thistle: Maybe we should have taken the lawyer with us....

BOB oooooo

Thistle: I dunno why they're in jail to begin with

User is back. (Lemon)

Carissa (Thistle): (SIGH brain has been slow to catch that mistake)

Carissa (Thistle): (although I did want to bring the lawyer original, oh well)

BOB sorry, I really tried

Carissa (Thistle): should have stuck to my guns

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): (to be fair, I am only hearing about a jailbreak NOW)

Lisa (Indigo): I wanted to take them to the city

BOB This is why this conversation is happening

Thistle: again: (LINK)

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

Michael (Talwin): Alright. I am back.

Michael (Talwin): Getting into character

Carissa (Thistle): I thought we wanted to leave the nicer one with halfings? did I get confused yesterday?

Lisa (Indigo): we'll just have to deal with what we've got

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sorry, I didn't make the connection

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We have travelled all this way to see someone in jail and you do not know anything about the circumstances?

Thistle: Kinda like you and the Mist, ya?

Michael (Talwin): (test chat bubble)

Michael (Talwin): perfect

Lorie (Licornah): (why would we want legal services from an evil barrister??? )

Lorie (Licornah): (your carrot didn't dangle appropriately)

Lisa (Indigo): those are the best kind

BOB Who said he was evil?

Carissa (Thistle): he wasn't evil so much as just very by the book

BOB None of the priests ever thought to cast detect on anyone

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I did not plan to commit a crime in my investigations of the Mist.

Lorie (Licornah): (I believe you said Lawful Evil and Chaotic Evil for the two folks we had to separate)

Michael (Talwin): (well, we can always hire a layer)

Thistle: I'm not saying I am, either.

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): (I said that)

Indigo: think that was marco

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): also, detect evil is pretty much useless on people

Lorie (Licornah): (Know alignment can help more)

Carissa (Thistle): (it was a hard part of not wanting to drag it out but also maybe should have gotten more info instead of instantly needing ot deal with it before we could start yesterday)

Lisa (Indigo): anyway - no lawyer so we deal with it

BOB moving forward

BOB What are the things that Thistle might know about feeling persecuted

Indigo: So after we dock we can ask where the prison is and find out what's happening

BOB (LINK)

Thistle: Craigh says he may know some people. Maybe once he wakes up.

Michael (Talwin): We may just pay a simple fine and make financial reparations and they will let the gypsy go. You never know. Not all laws are you are stuck in prison and must be broken out

Carissa (Thistle): not sure persecuted is the word I would have used, but yeah

Carissa (Thistle): lol that sounds simpler than a 10 hour session :)

Indigo: Sheriffs sometimes arrest gypsies for being gypsies

Indigo: Or run them out of towns

Indigo: It's not fair sometimes

Michael (Talwin): And sometimes, (I can't believe I'm saying this) talking really can be quicker if you are persuasive, respectful, and show some money

Thistle: nods

BOB Looking at the map of Rivers Bend you can see the canal and wall that was built to keep people out of the city

Talwin: We'll make it work. There are always options

BOB (LINK)

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

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, here's the plan. Zayden sings the guards to sleep. Akilah steals the keys off their belts. One person who can do bird calls stays at the front on guard for more guards. The rest of us sneak into the prison, have highjinks, break the prisoner out, Break out a few more people that prisoner tells us shouldn't be in prison, run into a few guards coming in on our way out, decimate them, run.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's foolproof.

BOB Caravan Landing Guarding the caravan road that leads southwestern into the swamps of Drillian this is the only district of the city to not have any bridges in it. Living outside of the city walls and away from the canals and bridges is not considered normal. It is seen as slightly dangerous and adventurous by many young nobles and the inhabitants of this district have built a couple of establishments to cater to those who want a quick "adventure" outside of the city before retreating back to the familiarity of their waterways. There are many farmers who live to the southwest of the city who sell their goods here.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Let us then find someone who knows what the laws are, how best we can deal with them, and avoid any law breaking of our own

Carissa (Thistle): lol

Lorie (Licornah): (I could teleport someone in there -- they just have to get out)

BOB and love that Lemon

Lisa (Indigo): yes

BOB and maybe be scared when Marco is the sensible one?

Indigo: lol

Talwin: nods

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): I'm always the sensible one

Talwin: Sounds like a solid plan

Lisa (Indigo): it was his character that had her hand cut off last time

BOB grins

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): that was only because I wasn't there when things went down

Talwin: We can hire a legal representative, and find out what reparations must be make for a release order

Talwin: Good call Akilah

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): I come back and get told my hand got cut off

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Look, that plan is fine, but mine has worked in EVERY comedy movie where you have to bust someone out of somewhere. It's foolproof, I'm telling you. :P

User has gone AFK. (Lorie)

Michael (Talwin): Tell you what lemon. If plan A fails, we'll go with yours. :) Sounds sqaure?

Indigo: We don't even know why they're there

Talwin: Exactly

Indigo: We should find out before we hire a lawyer

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, thanks Michael

Talwin: If it's serious, that's a different ball game.

Talwin: How do you suppose we figure out what they are in for?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: It may be easier to find out if we have a lawyer. The guard may not wish to speak with random foreigners.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So does this prison allow visitors? Thistle can go in and get the story and then we can go find a lawyer from there?

Indigo: Maybe they'll be a regatta and everyone will be busy

Talwin: laughs

Indigo: And we can watch boat races

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know how prisons work in this world

Michael (Talwin): Well, if you break a law not serious enough for instant death, you go to a building where they hold you for a period of time

Talwin: :P

Michael (Talwin): :P

Voice in the water: Softly - come on in, trust in me

Thistle: Boat races? Dunno if it'll be more fun than an arena, but guess we can find ot.

Voice in the water: (LINK)

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

Lisa (Indigo): not again ...

Thistle: calls out, "No thanks!"

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Again? Go away.

Voice in the water: Come in

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We have better things to do than drown.

Thistle: Nah, I already took a bath.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Maybe it's a barrister mermaid, go check it out

Carissa (Thistle): (lmao)

BOB Each can make a save versus spell

Michael (Talwin): (whaever you are selling, we aint buying!)

BOB and LOL with Lemon that is a quote

Michael (Talwin): Is this shift three or two?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Y'all, my advice is ON POINT this morning. That half a cup of coffee is doing it's job!

Indigo: [SAVE] vs. Spell [CON +3] [EFFECTS +1] [d20+4 = 18]

Save [18] [Target 10] -> [for Indigo] [SUCCESS]

Thistle: [SAVE] vs. Spell [EFFECTS +1] [d20+1 = 17]

Save [17] [Target 13] -> [for Thistle] [SUCCESS]

Thistle: sniffs armpit

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, wait, am I on watch?

Thistle: Yep, I still smell fine, but thanks!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can I go back and say some of those things ic?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: [2d10 = 19]

Talwin: [SAVE] vs. Spell [EFFECTS +1] [d20+1 = 16]

Save [16] [Target 13] -> [for Talwin] [SUCCESS]

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sorry, I had to afk to put away groceries and I missed some things

Michael (Talwin): If I'm talking, then I supose I better roll. Tackle Talwin befor ehe jumps in!

Carissa (Thistle): (I need like 2 seconds to go get a package)

User has gone AFK. (Carissa)

Michael (Talwin): NM. I made the roll. My bad

BOB That was not a save Marco

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): elf resistance to charm

BOB AHHh

Voice in the water: Why are you here?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sorry, trying to scroll up to find out if I'm on watch and failing

User is back. (Carissa)

BOB You are not Lemon

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ah, ok, great

Thistle: We got places to go, people to see.

Thistle: Why do you care?

'Shislif' connected

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Going to go refill this coffee then

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Why are -you- here? We are just travelling and have no time for strange women in bodies of water unless they are handing out swords.

BOB and Thistle can now see a handsome male swimming there next to the knarr

Carissa (Thistle): (is it a woman's voice)

BOB Akilah can too

Carissa (Thistle): (ah that answers that)

Thistle: Huh, well at least you're nice lookin'

Michael (Talwin): It's not basis for a system of govenrment

Thistle: Bet Rae would hate missing this

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): if it works, it works

Voice in the water: You seek swords? I can take you to more swords than you can imagine

Sharif: Morning!

Talwin: Go away.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I doubt that.

Thistle: Nah. Who said swords?

Thistle: Unless those swords come with lawyers?

Voice in the water: Kill all the lawyers

Talwin: Wow

Indigo: Huh?

Talwin: That escalated quickly

'TMO' connected

Thistle: Oooh didja try to kill the last one?

Talwin: Why would we kill all lawyers?

Thistle: WAIT you have lawyers were you live?

Thistle: Because now I'm even less interested.

Talwin: mumbles to thistle: "You weren't interested before were you?"

BOB Hey there Sharif

BOB Hey there TMO

Carissa (Thistle): (hi tmo and sharif!)

Thistle: shrugs

Michael (Talwin): Hi guys! Wherever you are :)

Sharif: hi everyone :) Rivers Bend looks cool

Lisa (Indigo): Hi Sharif and TMO :)

Voice in the water: You are traveling through our domain

Thistle: I mean, I can't holdmy breath that long, but who knows? Maybe one of those fairytales is real and he's actually really nice.

Thistle: Oh. Sorry. Do ya mind? We can't really travel around it.

Voice in the water: I can give you breath

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We are not.

Thistle: Hmm, tempting, but I gotta save a friend first.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We are currently anchored

Talwin: Actually, I have to agree with that one

Talwin: That's an interesting technicality

Thistle: See, but you'd kill me in the end, right? At least Rae knows to not use her charm for evil. Mostly.

Thistle: But you, I dunno....

Voice in the water: You will need to be alive to please me

Thistle: Ewww

Thistle: Please you like a puppet? Because definitely no thanks.

Talwin: If I dump a gallon of ale into the river, would that satisfy you?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Who would want watered down ale?

Talwin: Shrugs

Talwin: Maybe a small amount is all it takes for their kind

Thistle: Someone desperate for alcohol?

Talwin: It's an offering nonetheless

Talwin: No reason to not be polite until actively trying to harm us

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Shoulda kept a prisoner to give to the voice

Thistle: Oh, are we doing an offering? He didn't ask for any. He's just stating facts right now.

BOB You do have one Lemon

Thistle: Fact one: We're in his people's domain

Talwin: Ah, but we are anchored

Thistle: Fact two: He needs whoever he takes alive to please him whatever that means

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, we still have the one that ISN'T the lawyer?

Thistle: Fact three: he thinks all lawyers should be killed

TMO: here, but still busy, will brb

Talwin: rolls eyes

Thistle: ...actually those could all be lies

Talwin: So, what exactly do you want? Besides us of course, we're taking ourselves off that wish list

Thistle: HEY! Dude, what's your name anyways?

Thistle: Yeah, you'd have to come up here, on neutral terms, if ya wanna hang out with us in a different manner.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): brb, gotta take the dogs out

User has gone AFK. (Lemon)

Thorindaall: My name is Thorindaall what is your name?

Thistle: Thorindall? Huh, that's a new one. I'm Thistle.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: And I am Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal

Swims closer to the knarr

Thistle: But they gotta tell you their names in case ya actually steal names or something. They'll learn from me first.

Talwin: Talwin watches

Lorie (Licornah): (whatever you're moving BOB, it's triggering errors again) ;)

BOB You can see he is a merman

Thistle: You can call that one Overly Cautious.

Thistle: points to Talwin

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

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I do not believe name stealing works that way

BOB Did that cause an error?

Carissa (Thistle): nope

Thistle: Ooh you really are a merman? That's cool.

Talwin: Cautious yes, rude, not necessarily. Still ahve a gallon of Ale if you are into that

Carissa (Thistle): I haven't had any errors on my side yet today

BOB Ok, will try again did that?

Michael (Talwin): Not on my end

BOB Huh

Thistle: It's okay OC. Someone's gotta be.

BOB ok

Shislif (Zayden): no errors here

Thorindaall: I appreciate the offer of ale

Thorindaall: It is not often we have that

Talwin: Nods. It's in a sealed casket. Would you like me to drop it down?

Talwin: Should theoretically be waterproof

Thorindaall: That would be nice

Thistle: Wait does that mean you drink it on land or use a straw or.... how does this work?

Talwin: Keeping within reach of compatriots, Talwin gently rolls the cast towards the Merman.

Talwin: With our compliments at the very least

Zayden: I was wondering that myself

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: If you wish a haircut, I can arrange it, if you wish to come aboard.

Talwin: Supposedly it's the finest of the inn we purchased it from

Talwin: Although, I hestitate to speculate on such things.

BOB The cask slowly falls with a SPLASH then bobs back up to the surface

Thistle: Inn quality is, ya know, varied.

Talwin: SO how has the river been lately. Get many visitors?

Talwin: Weather has been somewhat nice

Thistle: We killed some pirates!

Throws out a rope made of woven weeds to capture the cask

Talwin: Although, we did have some trouble with pirates

Talwin: nods at thistle

Thistle: Ooh nice rope work.

Thistle: Hmm, never thought of doing that with weeds...

Michael (Talwin): It is pretty cool

Talwin: It is pretty cool

Thorindaall: We have not had many visitors this spring

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: None that pass, or none that come down to visit?

Thorindaall: The unusual rains have kept many on the lake

Talwin: It's been raining heavily?

Thistle: Unusual? As in more than normal or as in something weird about 'em?

Thorindaall: They do not move on

Talwin: I'm sorry to hear that. Well, depending on what becomes of them of course. What is the general custom of people who pass through these waters.

Thistle: Sounds like jumping into the river never to be seen again.

Talwin: or rather, your waters

Thorindaall: Those that pass through quickly we leave alone

Talwin: Ah sorry. The pirates delayed us significantly. We meant no offense

Thistle: How many have ya lured away with your voice? I mean, it IS nice, but not enough to jump into the water for, ya know?

Thorindaall: I often find I can bring one or two young ladies to visit me

Thistle: nods to herself

Thistle: A player, as I thought.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: In my experience, men who need magic to get women to visit are not worth visititing.

Thorindaall: Not that the others in our clan always appreciate the visitors

Thistle: What happens to those ladies?

Zayden: I don't know about that, magic can be very appealing

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Nothing pleasant, for sure.

Thistle: Yeah! Like the magic tricks Howard does!

Thorindaall: Some go home again, sometimes those in our clan take more exception to them and they do not leave us

Thistle: So hostages?

Thistle: Oh wait. Or do ya feed them to sharks?

Thorindaall: What is a shark?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Are there many sharks in rivers?

Thistle: shrugs

Thistle: I don't think every story I've read was accurate.

Thorindaall: The Aboleth feed on any they can find

Thistle: Aboleth?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Aboleth? I though those were more deep dark sort of creatures.

Thistle: Does it live in the lake?

Image: Aboleth

User is back. (Lemon)

Describes what an Aboleth looks like

Thistle: Well that sounds a bit terrifying. I'd rather not be fed to that, thanks.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: what would aboleth be doing out in a river?

Zayden: Yowsers

Talwin: So, we would prefer to pass on peacefully. Although our conversation does not have to end of course, but Is there a small token we could provide to earn some time before we move onward? We unfortunately need to resupply at our next destination. Do you use money at all? I'm afraid I know not much about what would make you happy. Other then letting our ladies visit of course.

Thistle: It's probably in the giant lake that no one sane crosses directly.

Lisa (Indigo): is it morning?

Michael (Talwin): (Second watch)

Carissa (Thistle): (third?)

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): (third watch)

Indigo: goes to sleep

Michael (Talwin): (my bad, thrid watch)

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Carissa (Thistle): (all good)

Lisa (Indigo): we don't need 6 people on watch

Zayden Goes back to sleep

Michael (Talwin): (nope. Actually have a very entertaining conversation with a merman. So...didn't expect this today)

Thorindaall: This ale will suffice as an offering

Thistle: We gave 'em ale. That works, ya? We'll be gone by morning. And then we can say hi again when we come back this way later on.

Talwin: A small bow

Talwin: Thank you

Talwin: When we pass back through, if you notice us feel free to stop by. I'll have another cask for you

Thistle: It was nice talkin' to ya, handsome merman! Even if ya wanted to drown me and keep me prisoner!

Thorindaall: I will watch for your hull

Talwin: Nods deeply

BOB And it is morning

Thistle: Bye Thorindaall!

Michael (Talwin): (Don't let me forget to purchase a cask or two. Knowing me, I will do just that and look like an idiot)

Talwin: Safe Travels and Kind waters

Thistle: Oh! What is it? Sweet waters and light laughter!

Thistle: Or something like that....

Michael (Talwin): So that was fun bob. Never expected that kind of encounter

Michael (Talwin): And we all didn't die horribly, so win-win

TMO: had to get some food, sorry. hadn't et yet today. currently chowing down. anything I need to know about to jump in?

Michael (Talwin): We just finished speaking with a Merman. Talwin gave him a small peace offering with a cask of ale

Michael (Talwin): And it is now morning

<font color="#000000">[0:0/6/12/358] Indigo's Birthday

TMO: Peace with ale rather than Piece of Thistle? good trade

Talwin: Happy Birthday Indigo!

Michael (Talwin): I thought so TMO LOL

Lisa (Indigo): don't think it's his birthday

Michael (Talwin): I actually thought for a second she might jump in

The date is Fin____de, 10th Man (Early Spring), 358 SKR

Young Moon's phase is First Quarter

Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No one ever gets peace with Thistle :P

Carissa (Thistle): she got tempted by the thought of an underwater adventure, though - those stories she reads has gone to her head

BOB It is not Indigo's Birthday

Carissa (Thistle): lol

Talwin: Oh, Sorry Indigo, I may have my dates mixed up. Sorry. I rely on my calendar to keep track of those days

Talwin: Face Bright Red

BOB That is the correct date though

TMO: *dejected mumbling and walking away with the birthday cake*

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'll eat the cake

Indigo: Thank you though!

Carissa (Thistle): (i did buy a cupcake to eat today... maybe I'll eat that now)

Talwin: Chuckles slightly embarassed

Licornah: :: begins daily mediation ::

Zayden plays a little morning time music with his yet to be determined instrument

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So many dirty jokes

Michael (Talwin): (Do we have any administrators on board. They will know the place to quickly find the prison beuracracy and attorneys)

Michael (Talwin): (otherwise when we get there, we search for the smell of desperation and hopelessness to find the prison)

Carissa (Thistle): (Craigh may know things)

Carissa (Thistle): (who I thought was here but I think is still afk)

Michael (Talwin): (TMO you back bud? Just a quick question)

TMO: do you need me?

Shislif (Zayden): are we doing another watch?

Thistle: Oh man, Rae. You missed it! We met a super handsome merman last night. He was charming, like you, but you know, with fins.

BOB That was the third watch

Lisa: Howard memorized alarm which you could set a bit away and someone walks into it and it blares - could be a diversion if we need one

Michael (Talwin): (Would craigh know the best place to find the prison, and find attorneys if we need them?)

Thistle: I wonder if fins would make Yout more charming...

BOB you will be arriving in the city later this morning

Carissa (Thistle): (nice)

Michael (Talwin): (Does he have any public administration skills by any chance?)

TMO: he might. I don't know what the prison thiing is about, sorry

Shislif (Zayden): nice

Carissa (Thistle): (or know people to help us find what we need?)

Michael (Talwin): We are busting someone out of Prison, one way or another. Mostly want to do it by the book. It's a gypsy

Michael (Talwin): Might be a fine, or might be more

Shislif (Zayden): Zay is no administrator but he can use info gathering if we need it

Howard Plum: [SKILL] Statecraft [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 8) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 11]

TMO: oh, I'm sure he can find people. helpful might be asking a bit much ,but he can try. ;)

Carissa (Thistle): he offered and Thistle is taking him up on that :)

Carissa (Thistle): er, should be IC, too...

TMO: nods

Michael (Talwin): No worries. Some soft skills are admin for example. NOt sure if Craigh has anything like that

Thistle: Hey Craigh. You said you know people, right? So you know where we can start once we get to town?

Talwin: Intently paying attention to Craigh

Talwin: Intently paying attention to Craigh

TMO (Craigh): summary pls - Craigh knows what you're talking about, I do not

Lisa (Howard Plum): thistle needs to get a gypsy out of Alexandria prison

Lisa (Howard Plum): by any means appropriate

TMO (Craigh): perfect, thank you

Michael (Talwin): (We don't know why they are in there)

Michael (Talwin): (Sorry. Lisa is better at the TL'DR)

Michael (Talwin): :)

TMO (Craigh): quite alright

Craigh: thinks for a moment.

Image: Rivers Bend South Bayside

Craigh: I do know some folks who can at least get us more information. An actual jailbreak would cost. Depending on what they're in for, it might just be easier and cheaper to get the charges dropped.

Shislif (Zayden): Will Zack Morris be there?

BOB South Bayside is where Indigo knows the harbor master is

Howard Plum: The people at the docks probably know at least where it is. I bet plenty of people get thrown in prison at the docks

Talwin: I agree Craigh. Until we know the nature of the holding, we may be able to simply pay a fine and claim responsibility

Talwin: Nods at Howard

Lisa (Howard Plum): damn - Indigo

Talwin: Too true

Talwin: Nods at Indigo

Michael (Talwin): (Sorry)

Thistle: Ya, we just need information first.

Thistle: So docks while Craigh finds his people?

Lisa (Indigo): We do have to dock - not sure if Bob was going roleplay that - with costs etc

Talwin: That sounds reasonable. We can pay the docking fee and have a good place to await further instructions

Michael (Talwin): (I was going to unless it's simple. In which case Yahtzee)

Michael (Talwin): (How about three schillings, and we forget the name?)

BOB chuckles

Michael (Talwin): (Lemon and Carissa got me to rewatch Pirates of the Caribbean last night.)

BOB nice

Carissa (Thistle): good, lol

Carissa (Thistle): I rewatched it a few weeks ago, it still holds up

Lisa (Indigo): I can't stand to look at johnny depp any more - I'll pass

Shislif (Zayden): nice

BOB So all the casters are at full spells

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): My link was Pirates of Penzance, I claim no responsibility for the Caribbean variety

BOB you did not heal anyone last night though

TMO (Craigh): oh, then I need to reset Craigh then

Michael (Talwin): Oof. Anyone who needs real healing should take care of themselves

BOB you are rowing/sailing into the lake

Michael (Talwin): Although, did last night rest help at all bob?

BOB Yes I need to add that in thank you Michael

Indigo's health adjusted by +3

Zayden's health adjusted by +0

Michael (Talwin): NP

Zayden's health adjusted by +3

Talwin's health adjusted by +3

BOB So overnight healing is completed

Shislif (Zayden): yay

BOB so sailing/rowing into the lake you see what Thorindaall meant, there is a band of rain showers that seems to hover over the city

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

Craigh: That seems completely normal to me.

Raelynn: Did you want your spyglass back, Indigo?

BOB It is not a drenching rain, just a steady drizzle

Talwin: Lookign to see if the rains are moving around, or just hovering in one perpetual place

Zayden: Hmm, i'm not expert, but that looks like rain

Indigo: Yes thank you!

Michael (Talwin): (that was obs. I don't have weather, so might not apply bob)

BOB The do not seem to be moving, even with the occasional gust of wind

Raelynn: hands it back

Talwin: Hey Guys?

Talwin: Normally storms move around

Talwin: These are holding place

Thistle: nods

Talwin: See, even with a wind, they aren't moving on

Thistle: Gypsy curse.

TMO (Craigh): and now that I have eaten too much food, nap time! zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Talwin: Taken aback

Thistle: grins and laughs

Indigo: Maybe someone is trying to cheat on a regatta

Bixi Fizzlebang: I wouldn't really call it a storm... but I see what you mean

Thistle: Nah, don't really think it is, just like sayin' that even if I'm not supposed to.

Zayden: I"m sure there are some storms that like to stay still

Talwin: I'm not one for supersitions, but I think Thistle might have a point

Craigh: Lazy rains? Staying mainly on the plains?

Talwin: Then again, we know nothing yet

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

Thistle: grins

Talwin: Nods

Thistle: If only ya had a good rhyme to end that with, Craigh.

Talwin: Hopefully someting that won't impact us too much. We can deal with it as necessary

Bixi Fizzlebang: Knowing our luck, it's some kind of idiot mage being a bad guy

Zayden: haha

Howard Plum: Hey!

Talwin: Not you Howard, you are great!

Talwin: Calls back

Howard Plum: Priests can cause weather calamtities too

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, I was talking about like that Orkin guy we killed

Thistle: But why'd ya call out?

Howard Plum: Not every bad thing that happens is a mage's fault

Thistle: I mean if it doesn't apply to you... wait, sorry. Gonna shut my outh.

Thistle: *mouth

Bixi Fizzlebang: And then the ringmaster...

Thistle: tries hard to not counter that

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not saying it is, Howard, I'm just saying that tends to be our luck

Talwin: Raises hands in peaceful offering. "We meant nothing by it Howard. She just means that on occassion, Mages like to be assholes, just like me sometimes"

Indigo: It's okay Howard. they are quick on the dislikes but they'll learn that people can be good too

Talwin: I just use a sword instead of fireballs

Thistle: Ya, but assholes with access to magic are just more... noticable.

Talwin: Smiles warmly

Talwin: Mutters out side of his mouth "You aren't helping Thistle"

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Magic provides increased capacity for trouble when one has the will for it.

Thistle: You got a magic sword so I'm including you.

Thistle: grins

Talwin: Shrugs. I never pretended I wasnn't an asshole. You put up with me because we are friends, not because I have a charming personality

Howard Plum: I need to get my things

Thistle: laughs

Howard Plum: goes to get ready for the city

Bixi Fizzlebang: Look, if we weren't here, it could easily be anything. But since WE are here, and WE tend to run into a lot of random mages who want to use their magic for sketchy purposes, there's a good chance that's what's happening. WE'RE the common denominater here, not the mages

Craigh: Craigh stays firmly out of this discussion, instead flipping through his notebook.

Thistle: Cheers to that, mate!

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Much like one can shovel more dirt when properly equipped with a shovel than not.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm offending all of us equally, not mages

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is what I'm saying

Indigo: How many "sketchy" mages have you run into?

Indigo: Other than the one you killed

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well that time traveling one and that ringmaster

Zayden: Sheesh, lets just grab an umbrella and get on with it it's just rain

Bixi Fizzlebang: So already two, and I haven't been here that long

Indigo: Exactly Zayden

Talwin: Oh and Dark Cloak

Talwin: Does he count?

Craigh: Craigh puts away his notebook as they approach the rain so it doesn't get wet.

Indigo: The ringmaster just ran a circus

Talwin: Oh! And jennevive that one time

Zayden: Maybe one of those nice hooded things that keep you dry

Indigo: Jennevive is a priestess

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, but he gave himself a mage title

Talwin: Snaps fingers

Indigo: Branwyn and Howard are mages

Bixi Fizzlebang: So he wanted us to THINK he was a mage

Zayden: can't spell mage without age

Talwin: "Shoot. We'll cross Jennevive off the list Bixi"

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't know Jennevive?

Indigo: Why do you have a list?

Talwin: Are necromancers Mages?

Talwin: Mages have nice libraries....

Talwin: Defensviely

Talwin: I like to read

Bixi Fizzlebang: And then that lady with the locket and the marid... wasn't she a mage? She turned out to be ok, but at first that was a sketchy situation

Indigo: Do you want me to put you on a list for choking that citizen? Just try to be nice please

Bixi Fizzlebang: No offense Yout

Talwin: Wait? What did I do! I came to Howards defense!

Talwin: And I should be on a list!

Indigo: Don't make lists is all I'm saying

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, you really should Talwin

Bixi Fizzlebang: Not sure what kind, but you should definitely be on one

Talwin: Snorts

Indigo: I'm going to make sure Howard is okay

Indigo: goes into the hold

BOB Arriving at the docks

Zayden: There's a list?

Talwin: Well we touched a few nerves.

BOB rowing through the rain

Talwin: Don't bring up lists!

Talwin: Apparantly they are bad

Indigo: Come on Howard. Stick with me

Bixi Fizzlebang: Easily offended group

Raelynn: That's why you're supposed to burn them if you make one.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Lists provide convenience. I am quite the fan of lists.

Talwin: Burn after reading makes no sense! Why make the list?

Zayden: So this is Rivers Bend huh?

Raelynn: It gets it out of your system without offending anyone.

Talwin: How do I remember all my groceries without them? And my contact list at the manor! Will Indigo make me burn that one? We have to hide it. I can't remember all those addresses

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm part mage! I'm not saying mages are bad... just that we have happened to run into a noticable amout of bad ones!

Talwin: Clearly agonized over having to hide all future lists

Talwin: We have to work on memory games Bixi

Bixi Fizzlebang: Talwin... you can write enough to make lists?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Mage is a profession. One either is or is not a mage. There are no fractions of mage.

Raelynn: Well yes, because those stick out in your mind more easily than the goods ones. The good ones are constant and comforting, and we're good at falling into that comfort and forgetting it.

Zayden: Maybe there's a spell that can recognize your fingerprint or your face, so it only shows you the list but not others?

Talwin: Offended

Talwin: Yes I can write lists! I write in a journal every night!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, but I'm not like DEDICATED to it 100%.

Raelynn: rolls her eyes

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh really? Thistle! Did you hear that!? Talwin has a journal! Let's make a mental note

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: It only makes you an unskilled mage.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I AM an unskilled mage

Raelynn: You can make lists about groceries and the like. You just have to be more careful when you're talking about people. Groceries do not have feelings. People do.

Talwin: You know.......

Talwin: Micheviously

Talwin: We could leave stupid lists lying around

Talwin: Whispering to Bixi

Thistle: Uh, ya. Remember he tossed it at us when he was REALLY angry?

Talwin: Just to irritate peopl;e

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Why are we talking about lists?

Talwin: Like, a list of holidays

Talwin: Like, a list of holidays\

Talwin: Don't bring up lists Akilah!

Talwin: Bursts out laughing

Talwin: Bursts out laughing

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ohhhh, I like that. That's a good trickster move. My god would approve.

BOB You are chatting as you row into the harbor

Raelynn: Talwin, if you're going to purposely antagonize this crew, I'm going to find someone to buy that sword off you.

Craigh: I can help with that.

Indigo: That's what I'm saying. You sometimes seem to want to be mean to people. I don't understand it

Talwin: "Hey it's not me! Bixi will be the one to take it from here! I can't get away with shit!"

Raelynn: Thank you, Craigh.

Lorie (Licornah): (I'm starting dinner, so here and away for a few -- let me know if you need anything - unless required, I'll want to visit local churches)

Talwin: For the love of God!

Raelynn: I still think it's his sword. Was he always this... well, like this before it?

Talwin: Outraged

Indigo: I'm going to talk to the Dock Master when we get in. Don't be mean to him

Talwin: I love HOward! I said nothing mean to him!

Talwin: I came to his defense!

Raelynn: That doesn't mean we're still not capable of hurting those we love.

Talwin: Grumbles but moves off, sulking

Indigo: I'm talking to everyone

Craigh: There, now everyone's upset.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I also love Howard!

Raelynn: sighs

Craigh: Welcome to Rivers Bend, gang!

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I fear I shall never understand any conversation this crew has.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't understand how saying we have bad luck with meeting mages who are jerks is somehow offending everyone on this ship?

Raelynn: I think we're all getting a little antsy being stuck on a boat. It'll be good to be in the city.

Craigh: That's a fair point, Raelynn. Too much time all cooped up together can be rough.

Talwin: Oh my god our parents are so glad we have arrived and are no longer confined to a swaying vessel! So, Craigh, did you want to do your thing first, or have us accompany you?

Zayden: What's Craigh gonna do?

Thistle: I thought we were gonna ask at the docks first about the prison?

Talwin: Correct

Thistle: While Craigh finds his friends or whoever.

BOB Rowing past Hern Island (#4 on your overview map) an dthen between Derry Point (5) and the promanent Gallows with two bodies hanging off of the three ropes (15) as you approach Bay Landing to bring in the knarr

Talwin: As Craigh moves off. Just asking if he wanted someone to accompany, while we take care of the Docks

Thistle: Umm.... hmm, ya, let's avoid that ending.

Craigh: I'll go out looking for my contacts on my own, but you all can be getting information in other ways too. More hands make light work, after all.

Carissa (Thistle): (empty third rope better not be an omen)

Talwin: Well, it's better than the Bug Bears ending me thinks

Thistle: You would know, wouldn't ya, Craigh?

Thistle: grins and shrugs both shoulders

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: Fair enough Craigh

Zayden: I could do some information gathering!

Talwin: We'll start at tthe docks

Zayden: Talk to the local bards and barkeeps and such

BOB Indigo, Craigh, Talwin anyone else taking the captured boat over to the harbormaster?

Talwin: Zayden, do your thing.

Thistle: Whatever anyone can pitch in would be good.

Craigh: nods to Thistle in agreement.

Carissa (Raelynn): (Rae can)

Zayden: Sounds good to me

Lisa (Indigo): I was going to leave it tied to the knarr for now

Michael (Talwin): (You never know when an extra ship might come in handy)

BOB Ok so you can hire a skiff to take you over to the harbormaster

Michael (Talwin): (we can do that)

Shislif (Zayden): do we still need the Knarr image up?

Lisa (Indigo): oh then we take the boat to the harbor master

Lisa (Indigo): didn't realize we were that far out

Shislif (Zayden): oh we're far out :)

Indigo: Jumps in the boat

Talwin: Climbs in gently

BOB I am using the Overview Map for now with descriptions until we need other maps, then I will share them like the South Bayside map

Indigo: Be back when we get our berth

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is anyone staying on the ship?

BOB Most people are staying on the knarr

Lisa (Indigo): we all can't fit in a boat

Shislif (Zayden): cool

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, ok, great

BOB OR you hire a skiff to take you into the city

Carissa (Raelynn): (do you need someone persuasive with you?)

Lisa (Indigo): this is just to arrange for docking

Lisa (Indigo): no - not going to haggle with the dockmaster

Michael (Talwin): just docking for now, but we can go from there

BOB You tell me who is going up to six on the boat

Indigo: I'm going to be nice to the npc

Carissa (Raelynn): okay go for it

Talwin: Talwin, Craigh, Indigo, ....

BOB Indigo, Craigh, Talwin, and?

Talwin: lol

BOB Rae?

TMO (Craigh): Trust Indigo to be the nice guy. ;)

Carissa (Raelynn): (if she's needed, whichever)

BOB you tell me

BOB Licornah?

Carissa (Raelynn): (it'll get her to dry land faster? then sure)

Michael (Talwin): (Rae can accompany Craigh or Talwin in the City if you want Carissa)

BOB so we have our four

BOB up to two more if you want

Indigo: [SKILL] Boating [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 10]

Carissa (Raelynn): (those on the knarr will join after this, yes?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm good waiting

Zayden: to go to the harbor?

Shislif (Zayden): ooc

Lisa (Indigo): so Indigo doesn't crash the boat on the way to the harbormaster - yay

Carissa (Raelynn): lol

Michael (Talwin): lol

Lisa (Indigo): yes we will get a berth and Yout will take the knarr in

Craigh: Thistle, if you want to, you can come with me. Maybe we can also find something about your friend.

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): Got no particular skills that will speed up the gathering information stage. Akilah will wander about town sight seeing if given the chance, but otherwise is fine on the boat

Thistle: Ya, if you don't mind, sure.

Craigh: No problem if not though.

Lisa (Indigo): then the knarr people will be on the docks

Craigh: Not at all.

BOB Right now just the first 4 or 6 to go talk about getting a berth and starting

Thistle: Thanks, Craigh. Ya ain't bad, even if sometimes I make fun of ya.

BOB Ok so we have the list of people ;P

TMO (Craigh): Happy Berth Day, Indigo!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol!

Lisa (Indigo): LOL

Shislif (Zayden): lol

BOB Indigo steers the boat over to the dock master

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): double lol, BOB and TMO

Carissa (Thistle): lol

Looks up from his paperwork

Indigo: Good morning!

Dock Master: Hello?

Indigo: We need to dock a knarr and this boat for a couple of days

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How crucial is Bixi going to be for this next section? My body wants a nap.

Dock Master: Master Halfling, how are you this wet day

Indigo: See that one out there?

Michael (Talwin): (We can try and cover for awhile Bixi)

Michael (Talwin): (I get it)

Indigo: I'm good. I'm Admiral Indigo

Carissa (Thistle): (fight it, lemon!)

Gestures to a young clerk to go check on the knarr

Michael (Talwin): (Sorry, Lemon. I call people by characters and I'm trying to stop)

Michael (Talwin): (LOL)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, it's fine, Lemon isn't my real name either, believe it or not. I'm good

Dock Master: Getty, go follow these to their ship

Talwin: Jesus

Looks back at Indigo

Talwin: Jesus

Michael (Talwin): Jesus

Lisa (Indigo): nap now better than when in combat or in middle of jailbreak

Dock Master: Admiral Indigo?

TMO (Craigh): Nope, she somehow got saddled with Lemon when she joined the Among Us gang, iirc, and it's never left

Michael (Talwin): (God. I think my people memory is wiped out completely at this point. This is why I literally have a contact list)

Indigo: For you logbook

Carissa (Thistle): (she will forever be lemon)

Indigo: Yes

Dock Master: Yes, just seems

Dock Master: Hmmm

Indigo: I've been gone for some years

Dock Master: I have to say not many halflings around these parts

Dock Master: I have only been in my position for 3 years

Indigo: nods

'Lemon' disconnected

Dock Master: was lucky when old Polkik fell off the dock

Indigo: Is there a regatta today?

Dock Master: Who knew fish had such large mouths

Dock Master: BAH

Raelynn: Aboleth?

Indigo: laughs

Dock Master: This cursed rain has drowned out all of the joy in the city

Indigo: Why is it raining?

Dock Master: Has not stopped for 6 weeks

Indigo: That's strange

Dock Master: It has to be a curse

Dock Master: Damn gypsies I bet

Talwin: Six weeks?

Indigo: There are gypsies here?

Dock Master: They say if you go up on the Nest you can see down over the clouds

Dock Master: They are not natural

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): 6 weeks of rain's a curse? Clearly he's never been to florida

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Lorie (Licornah): (bak - who did they make mad with all the rain?)

Dock Master: The gypsies must have done this

Raelynn: But why would they?

Dock Master: Who knows

Indigo: Are they camped somewhere?

Dock Master: How can anyone tell what they are scheming

Dock Master: Not in our city they are not!

Raelynn: By asking them and treating them like regular people...?

Talwin: Ah, a prison then?

Indigo: If they aren't here how can they curse the city?

Dock Master: Maybe out past caravan landing there might be some in the strangeness out there

Indigo: Ohhh

Talwin: Looks to Caravan's landing

Indigo: Do you know where Alexandria prison is?

Indigo: We took someone on board we might want to drop there

Dock Master: Hmmm

Dock Master: I can get the guards for you

Indigo: Ehhh ... haven't decided yet.

Indigo: I'll see when we get docked, but thank you

Dock Master: Fair

Indigo: So two days?

Dock Master: For the knarr and your boat for two days it will be 3 gold

Indigo: hands him 3 gold

Dock Master: Not much movement out there right now

Dock Master: Writes in his log book, The name of your ship?

TMO (Craigh): going to step away for a min to go fetch a refill from Sonic. only about 15min

User has gone AFK. (TMO)

Indigo: The Buttercup

Indigo: sighs

Dock Master: and the name of your boat?

Indigo: I didn't name it

Looks up

Dock Master: There are much worse names I have seen

Shislif (Zayden): I've never tried Sonic, seen the ads though

Raelynn: Like what?

Indigo: Bugbear Disaster

Indigo: for the boat

Carissa (Raelynn): (great place for drinks)

Dock Master: Can you believe someone called theirs the Holy Wind

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Carissa (Raelynn): (lol nice)

Raelynn: Well, yes.

Indigo: laughs

Dock Master: Well that is a nice descriptive name, Bugbear Disaster

Dock Master: You go hunting pirates do you?

Indigo: We did yesterday

Dock Master: Stay away from the fire marshes

Talwin: Rodents of Unusual Size?

Indigo: Well they were hunting us but they won't be bothering anyone any time soon

Dock Master: Good to know

Raelynn: Fire marshes?

Lorie (Licornah): (what kind of city did you bring me to? ::laughs ::)

Dock Master: I will pass this along to the harbor master for you, if you stay longer let them know right away

Indigo: I will

Dock Master: The fire marshes on the other side of the lake

Indigo: Thank you

BOB Indigo can describe it

Dock Master: Getty, where did you get to boy, take this note

BOB and you go back out onto the dock

Lisa (Indigo): no clue about fire marshes and nothing on the site to jog my memory

BOB When you did the regatta sailing from Rivers Bend to Dryads Lair, there are the marshes on the eastern shore of the lake

BOB rumored to have all sorts of fire breathing creatures, etc

Lisa (Indigo): ok - well it's raining so that will take care of that

Carissa (Raelynn): foreshadowing?

Shislif (Zayden): cool

BOB Leg Two and Three map shows them in the upper right corner

Lisa (Indigo): so we sail back or meet the knarr at the dock?

BOB So you have a space to keep your two vessels

BOB The Knarr stays out at Bay Landing

User is back. (TMO)

Shislif (Zayden): two and three map?

Image: Leg two and three for Searching for Alexandria

Shislif (Zayden): cool

Shislif (Zayden): how come it's so fuzzy?

Lisa (Indigo): so we start at North Bayside? No 11

TMO (Craigh): satellite camera lens needs to be cleaned

BOB It is a screen capture from the Google Earth plug in

Shislif (Zayden): oh ok cool

BOB Yes to Lisa

Lisa (Indigo): caravan landing at 25

Lisa (Indigo): or start at 12? I'd rather start at 12 :)

BOB OK

Lisa (Indigo): if we want to get to 25. Still don't know where prison is

Lisa (Indigo): are we saying we let the other prisoner loose?

Michael (Talwin): (I'm now kind of confused)

Michael (Talwin): (Are we looking for prison, or caravan landing)

Lisa (Indigo): if there is a gypsy camp it would be at caravan landing

Michael (Talwin): So...we can try there first, and find out why gypsy is in prison

Lisa (Indigo): they would know who the prisoner is and why and maybe where the prison is, why is it raining, etc

Michael (Talwin): right?

Michael (Talwin): perfect

Lisa (Indigo): or we can just focus on the prison

Michael (Talwin): Do we gather forces, or just our small party

Lisa (Indigo): Carissa?

Shislif (Zayden): I think Zay will probably go Info Gathering

Shislif (Zayden): what kind of info we looking for?

Michael (Talwin): (Anything about Gypsy and Prisons)

Indigo: they would know who the prisoner is and why and maybe where the prison is, why is it raining, etc

Carissa (Raelynn): (sorry was talking to sister)

Talwin: I agree Indigo

Talwin: Let's do that

Carissa (Raelynn): (gyspy enampment would be my boite)

Image: Rivers Bend Caravan Landing

Lisa (Indigo): that was info for Zayden

Shislif (Zayden): thanks!

Lisa (Indigo): so Craigh is exploring and Zayden separately?

Lisa (Indigo): they should say if they want a buddy

Shislif (Zayden): Zay wouldn't mind doing it together

TMO (Craigh): Craigh and Thistle, Zayden separate, unknown if anyone is with him

Carissa (Raelynn): (unless Craigh is doing that while we visit caravan landing and see gypsies as Thistle would want to talk to them)

Shislif (Zayden): always excluding poor zay

Carissa (Raelynn): (Zay can ask someone to join him)

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): Akilah has no particular preference and will accomany anyone who need accompanying

BOB Yes that is all happening at the same time

BOB you are splitting up into four groups or so?

BOB to get as much information as possible this morning

Zayden: Anybody feel like joining me in a little town time?

Licornah: (Happy to travel in a group)

The time is 10:00 AM

Carissa (Raelynn): (Group for caravan landing, group for Craigh, group for Zayden, and ....?)

TMO (Craigh): Does Thistle want to go with the gypsy camp group?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: It is better than tempting sea sickness.

BOB refilling brb

Carissa (Raelynn): (yes, sorry Craigh :) )

TMO (Craigh): quite alright

Carissa (Raelynn): (if it can't be at the same time, she'd want to see gypsies first)

Carissa (Raelynn): ...*if it has to be at the same time

Lisa (Indigo): so Zayden and Craigh can pick who they want to be sneaky with and the rest will go to gypsy camp

Lisa (Indigo): unless someone wants to go someplace else

Shislif (Zayden): sounds good

Carissa (Raelynn): (it's free choice, Sharif and TMO, pick whoever)

Shislif (Zayden): Well Zay would obviously pick Bixi

Lisa (Indigo): she is napping

Shislif (Zayden): dang it lol

Carissa (Raelynn): (she's napping so depending when she gets back, we could do Zay later)

Lorie (Licornah): (not sneaky)

Shislif (Zayden): nah better to do zay now as I may nap later lol

Carissa (Raelynn): (doesn't have to be sneaky, just whoever you want to work with)

Carissa (Raelynn): (lol)

TMO (Craigh): if anyone wants to go with Craigh, they're welcome. picked Thistle because she had info she wanted to look for too.

Shislif (Zayden): Akilah she doing anything?

Carissa (Raelynn): no no, gonna make you pick :)

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): going with whoever needs her

Carissa (Raelynn): or if I want to be nice, swap Thistle and Rae

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): she's fairly sneaky if need be

Shislif (Zayden): Cool I pick Akilah!

Shislif (Zayden): we're info gathering, don't need to sneak

Shislif (Zayden): or we'll be sneaky out in the open

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): people give information to their barbers all the time

Lisa (Indigo): you never know when sneaking might be beneficial :)

Zayden: this is fair

Shislif (Zayden): ooc

BOB So Zayden and Akilah, group 1

Lisa (Indigo): TMO?

BOB Craigh, and Licornah? group 2

Zayden: Hey Akilah, looks like it's gonna be you and me

Zayden: Yea you know, a bottle

BOB Thistle, Indigo are group 3 to the Caravan Landing

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I have a bottle of perfume and a couple of holy water.

BOB then Bixi when she returns

Zayden: very nice, so you me, and a bottle makes three

Zayden: just one bottle though

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I feel like this is a western joke that is going over my head.

BOB anyone else in group 1?

Zayden: Eh it wasn't that great a joke anyway

BOB Talwin is going where?

Zayden: just ryhmes

BOB Howard is with who?

Michael (Talwin): Talwin is still going to Gypsy group

BOB ok

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Then it is a fair poem.

BOB If someone wants Youtargim in their group he will go or he will stay with the knarr

Zayden: I went through a swing period, in my youth you know, it's not a proud memory

Zayden: Think Yout should join us?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: You need not tell me of your sexual past.

Zayden: Ha

Zayden: This is gonna be fun

Lorie (Licornah): (yes, beef stew is simmering, I should be engaged more now -- sorry for that)

BOB for the modifiers on the checks

Shislif (Zayden): Oh ok

Shislif (Zayden): that sounds good

Shislif (Zayden): what type of prison is it?

Shislif (Zayden): like min max security?

Talwin: Why would the population think you specifically caused the rain, has there been any conflicts. Would anyone be attempting to Frame you for this curse?

Michael (Talwin): Why would the population think you specifically caused the rain, has there been any conflicts. Would anyone be attempting to Frame you for this curse?

BOB Talwin is not there

Michael (Talwin): OOC

BOB Those do not count for Zayden and Akilah

Shislif (Zayden): Why do they think the Gypies caused the rain?

BOB Your group can ask different questions Michael

Lisa (Indigo): they need to control their own destinies :)

Michael (Talwin): (ah, sorry. I though Bob meant accross all the groups)

Shislif (Zayden): What did they do to the Gypsies to upset them?

Michael (Talwin): (dind't know we were splitting out)

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): What is the punishment for a rain curse?

BOB Ok more than enough questions

Shislif (Zayden): How can one remove the rain curse?

Shislif (Zayden): ok done

Shislif (Zayden): should i roll?

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): I assume you have the bettercharisma

Zayden: [SKILL] Hide In Shadows [PERCENT:Hide In Shadows] (vs. Target 30) [FAILURE by 23] [d100 = 53]

Shislif (Zayden): dang it

BOB Ok so now group 2

Shislif (Zayden): Zay is off his game today

BOB TMO, Lorie

Licornah: :: meanders through the town keeping an eye open ::

Licornah: So, is this your first time here? This feels the farthest south I've ever been in the world

TMO (Craigh): Questions: *Where is Alexandria Prison? *How/Who to get us inside to visit? *How/Who to get a prisoner out? *How/Who to get a prisoner released? *What's up with the gypsies here?

TMO (Craigh): Licornah, add any of your own to that

Craigh: I've been here once or twice before, a few years back. Just running errands and messages, that sort of thing.

Lorie (Licornah): (Where would we find a barrister, Is there an appeal process, why is it raining, are there any Silvermoon temples here?)

TMO (Craigh): *Also questions regarding someone who knows about devils

Craigh: We can start by looking up one of the people I dealt with back then. They tended to know a lot of people in convenient places.

Licornah: :: nods :: sounds good

Craigh: What about yourself? Are you enjoying these trips, or just going along?

Licornah: :: ponders :: I'm to learn what I can but enjoying time away from that mist you call home. It has made me so ill. It's eye-opening venturing out like this

Shislif (Zayden): ohhh that'll come in handy

Craigh: I grew up in the Mist. The open sky actually feels weird to me sometimes.

Craigh: I have to be careful too. I burn very easily out here. Way too much sunlight.

TMO (Craigh): (I mean, red-head, born and lived in solid fog? yeah, he has no melanin at all ;) )

Shislif (Zayden): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Licornah: :: nod :: I hadn't thought about that. I enjoy the open-air myself, so have to remember this is different for you

Craigh: Well, compared to the Elf Lands, this is almost normal.

BOB Yes Craigh does find he old hangouts

Licornah: :: ponders :: Elflands? Where is that?

TMO (Craigh): (confused: did we not meet Licornah on the other planar quest? with the cats?)

BOB Yes you did

BOB And yes she was there with the giants

TMO (Craigh): phew - thought I'd gone and got confused again

BOB But you have different ideas about what to call those places, grins

TMO (Craigh): Okay - THAT is totally understandable

TMO (Craigh): I was afraid I'd messed up who I was talking to. Again.

Craigh: With the goddesses, and the giants.

-> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Shared with you and Sharif privately the answers to your questions

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: got em

-> Zayden: Shared privately with you and Marco the answers to your questions

Licornah: Oh, :: nods :: I see. That was a really nice place :: pauses :: despite the lost time

Licornah: and the giants...

BOB TMO you can introduce your friends when you are ready to

Craigh: True, but then again... goddesses.

Craigh: Craigh grins.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Zayden: Not that I advocate crime as our first solution, but kidnapping our target while they are cleaning a bridge seems relatively low risk

Licornah: :: smirks :: they have their ways, don't they

TMO (Craigh): do you want me to just make rolls, or roleplay it out?

TMO (Craigh): it'll all be off the cuff

TMO (Craigh): and we'll probably never have to deal with any of the NPCs again

BOB Just roll play it out

Craigh: Trust me, Licornah, that was not an encounter I'll be forgetting any time soon.

BOB You can make up a new character to change the name for

BOB etc

Licornah: :: nods :: No unicorns, but memorable just the same. I feel for Brawnyn missing time with her family.

Craigh: Alright, Ganjier should be somewhere around here. He tends to know all the local useful people.

Licornah: :: bobs her head ::

Craigh: I was maybe lucky in that regard, no family to miss out on.

Licornah: I am sorry or thankful for you - which ever is appropriate for you

TMO (Craigh): am I doing Ganjier's role as well?

Zayden -> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I mean when an opportunity presents itself, who are we to deny it?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Zayden: Perhaps we might observe some of these cleaning routes to see what kind of security they have, just for educational purposes.

Craigh: Craigh follows the invisible clues marked on posts and signs around corners and down streets until he ends up at a specific door.

Zayden -> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: That is an excellent idea Akilah... for education of course

BOB Already a third of the way through the game today, you are making nice progress

Craigh: Either way, thank you.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Zayden: One must not deny one's education

Zayden -> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: it's really the most important thing when you think about it.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Zayden: It would be criminal to neglect it in fact.

Zayden -> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: And irresponsible! Imagine all the people that could maybe get hurt if we weren't appropriately educated. This way, everybody wins

TMO (Ganjier): (sorry, discussing with Bob how much of this he wanted me to play out is all, of if we shortcut it with rolls)

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Zayden: We are practically performing a public service.

Zayden -> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We SHOULD get an award, but of course those most deserving often go unnoticed

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Zayden: Do 20 good deeds and people will only ever notice the 1 bad thing you did.

TMO (Ganjier): Craigh opens the door and ushers Licornah inside. It's dim, but not dark, with just enough light coming through a window to light up a desktop. Behind the desk is a wide, bald, human man, reading a note.

Ganjier: Craigh opens the door and ushers Licornah inside. It's dim, but not dark, with just enough light coming through a window to light up a desktop. Behind the desk is a wide, bald, human man, reading a note.

Ganjier: Ganjier. Regor sends his regards, although this is personal business, not his.

Ganjier: dangit

TMO (Craigh): test

TMO (Ganjier): test

Zayden -> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: That is a truth to be sure, I even do it to myself mind you! I can play 19 perfect songs, but I'll always dwell on that one messed up one

TMO (Craigh): been too long since I did multiples at once

Craigh: Ganjier. Regor sends his regards, although this is personal business, not his.

Carissa (Raelynn): (all good, mostly here again except for cat barf cleanup)

TMO (Ganjier): always fun!

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Lorie (Licornah): (sorry for you)

BOB And yes for Lisa, Carissa, Lorie to know, Marco and Sharif have been carrying on in whispers this whole time too, so lots of things happening

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Zayden: Exactly the same thing. I give 100 perfect shaves and all anyone can talk of is the one time I nick someone's artery

Ganjier: Ganjier looks up and squints at the two of them. "Regor, eh? Alright den, what you wanting? And make sure you gives him my regards back, unnerstand?"

TMO (Ganjier): something just popped up for me? a list of questions?

Zayden -> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: People! So do you think we should scout these locations first thing or regroup first then scout?

-> Ganjier: You have that info now to share as Ganjier to Criagh and Licornah

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal -> Zayden: We can scout one out first and have information for the others when we return. Then we can all see how to proceed from there.

TMO (Ganjier): not sure how to whisper to GM, sorry. Licornah also had a list of questions

Zayden -> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: sounds good to me

BOB Double checking that now TMO

TMO (Ganjier): I can page over to see the other group's questions as well, just fyi. paged back so I can't.

Ganjier: Definitely will pass those on, Ganjier. First of all, we need to know about Alexandria Prison. There's someone inside that we might not want to have stay inside.

TMO (Ganjier): gorram it!

Craigh: Definitely will pass those on, Ganjier. First of all, we need to know about Alexandria Prison. There's someone inside that we might not want to have stay inside.

BOB Updated for you TMO

TMO (Craigh): thanks

BOB and Yes to TMO that info was shared to you also as Ganjier but not at Criagh

Craigh: Got somebody in Old Alex, do yah? Friends of yours, Miss?

TMO (Craigh): I CLICKED ON GANJIER!

Ganjier: I CLICKED ON GANJIER!

Ganjier: Got somebody in Old Alex, do yah? Friends of yours, Miss?

BOB Ganjier looks at Licornah

Licornah: :: looks at him :: Good afternoon, I'm just visiting River's Bend. Hoping to see the sights. Shame about your rain

Ganjier: spits into the corner. "Pfah. Gypsy Rain, it is!"

Licornah: Gypsy Rain - :: thinks :: oh, this is a curse on the city? You've made them angry?

Licornah: Did the city imprison someone they shoulnd't have and they cursed in retalliation?

Ganjier: Can't help it if the Wagon Folk don't know how to swim right, and come to a place with rivers for roads, and maybe one or two of 'em fall in, now can I?

Licornah: Oh dear... :: tries to make sense of Wagon Folk ::

Licornah: Not unless you pushed them in I suppose

Licornah: Do you have a city protector or a deity you claim for Rivers Bend?

Ganjier: Well, there's stories, but I wasn't personally no part of it, nor does I know for sure who was and who wasn't there.

BOB Lots of Greek temples

User has gone AFK. (Carissa)

TMO (Ganjier): (Poseidon, I presume)

BOB Yes

Ganjier: Lord Poseidon is who most folks round here call on in need, if yer into that sort of thing.

Licornah: I see. Shame really then. I hope whomever needs to atone does so soon

Ganjier: Ganjier chuckles. "I'm not much in the business of atonement. Revenge pays well though. What else do yah need to know about Alex?"

BOB Super brief history lesson: Many of the old families here used to live in Dryads Lair, Greek lands. They were pushed out when the Kayugan church took over that area, so they moved here and pushed the Suomi off into Drillian and Blackwater. So the Greek Churches are the predominant here but an old Suomi can be found. No public Kayugan churches in the city.

Craigh: Is there a way to get in or out? And what's the best way to get someone out?

Shislif (Zayden): I may need to break for a bit and hop back on a lil later, is there anything I need to take care off first?

BOB You are good Sharif, I will ping you when everyone is back together

Shislif (Zayden): Cool see everyone in a bit :)

BOB We are almost to the third group

'Shislif' disconnected

Ganjier: Hmm... well, legit's usually the easiest. You make an appointment to go in and see who you want. Gotta go through the jailer for that, they don't usually nevermind, specially for a little tip. Gettin' out's harder, of course. You can get a barrister and go the legal way, or a hefty bribe to go the back way.

Licornah: Is the prison magically warded? Are there many guards?

Lorie (Licornah): (:: shakes her elven fist at the Kayugans :: )

BOB Some specially magically warded cells but not the full thing

BOB Guards both for the prison and for taking work crews out

Ganjier: Old Alex is usually for the small-timers. Debtors or thieves. It's gotta couple heavy cells, but most are simple in-and-outs.

BOB and shared your answers so far to you now Lorie

Ganjier: Lotta the prisoners are used in work crews, so the guards watch over them there too. That's usually the easiest time to get someone off the line and out of sight.

Lorie (Licornah): (Thanks, BOB)

Craigh: Thanks, Ganjier. Another question, not related, I'm looking for someone who knows something about devils, or extra planes, that sort of thing. Know anyone?

Ganjier: Huh, that's a weird one. Don't get much call for that. What're you into boy?

Licornah: Thank you for your time. :: bows ::

Craigh: Just needing to do some research.

Licornah -> Craigh: Maybe we could check with the temples. Historically, the Greeks don't get up to nonsense, but the know people who do

Ganjier: Miss, for you, anytime. You want to know anything about this town, you just come see me, I'll make sure you get it.

Licornah: :: smiles :: I'm honored by your kindness

Michael (Talwin): (So, honestly I'm thinking legit. Even if it's a "large bribe" it's possible to get them out without causing complete chaos in the city?)

Michael (Talwin): (OOC of course)

Ganjier: Anyways, only one guy I know is rumored to deal with that stuff. Goes by the name Fives, usually found down in Harlen.

Ganjier: Check the Spotted Trout

Ganjier: Unless you want wizards or priests. They usually know more, but I wouldn't know who to send you to.

BOB Keep that in mind Michael

BOB almost to you

Craigh: Absolutely not. We'll go check out Fives.

Ganjier: Ganjier extends his hand across the desk, palm up.

Craigh: Craigh drops some coins into it.

Ganjier: Ganjier squints into his hand, then extends it again.

Craigh: Craigh drops a few more coins in.

Ganjier: Ganjier nods and motions to the door.

BOB Carissa? Lisa? you are ready to go into the camps?

Lisa (Indigo): sure

BOB I pinged Carissa and Lemon on Discord

Michael (Talwin): (I'm here :) )

TMO (Craigh): I'll be watching, but multitasking

Michael (Talwin): (Got up and streched a few times, but still here!)

Michael (Talwin): :)

BOB Go so moving forward with group 3

BOB giving TMO space to work on that last bit to bring all this together

Michael (Talwin): Bob.. I do have a request before we full yget into the camp

Michael (Talwin): I really did need to stop by a bank

TMO (Craigh): (Ideally, Craigh would want to bring in at the minimum Indigo and Talwin, since they know Branwyn best)

BOB Shared the stories of the first two groups with each other so you know what each other knows to this point to make it quicker later on

BOB Yes Michael

BOB You can on the way there

Michael (Talwin): (Thanks you. 200 to the bank, the rest on my person)

Michael (Talwin): (no need to make myself a target)

TMO (Craigh): too late!

Michael (Talwin): (AH!)

TMO (Craigh): (whose coins do you think I gave to Ganjier? ;) )

BOB grins

TMO (Craigh): (just kidding)

Michael (Talwin): But ready to communicate. I assume since it's a camp (and let me know if I'm being stereotypical? but going off of history texts), that we can just walk right on in. If they are travelling, they are probably doing fairs, or other entertainment

Michael (Talwin): (LOL)

BOB Very much true Michael

Lisa (Indigo): you will see ...

Lisa (Indigo): if they are getting jailed and kicked out it might not be so open

BOB So for Indigo and Talwin as we await the others

BOB Any questions you are asking or things to listen for and make which ever rolls you think will help

Indigo: Can I get my fortune told?

BOB Yes, at the camp

Lisa (Indigo): that was my question

Michael (Talwin): Yes. We are looking for a Gypsy Compatriot that we were asked to free from Alexandria. We are attempting to understand more about the predicament so that we can help them without cuasing any harm to them or anyone else. 1. Who are we trying to save? 2. Why were they thrown in? 3. How do we best aid them. Talwin will want to try an easy bribe or simple fine first as a more "legit" option. If we break a gypsy out of the prison, the city will turn on all the gypsycs. 4. May I ask if they know anything about the rain? and 5. May I get my fortune told like Indigo. Was working on these questions for like the past hour :) (apart from the fortune)

BOB Or is that a question to find out more information about on the way there too?

Lisa (Indigo): this is Thistle's camp. I'll let her ask the big questions

Michael (Talwin): OK.

Lisa (Indigo): no Indigo just likes getting his fortune told

BOB ok so added those to the story

BOB Moving through the city and asking about where a reptuable bank is

BOB Indigo is directed to a Greek Church of Delphi to get his fortune told

Indigo: looks disappointed

User is back. (Carissa)

Indigo: Okay ...

Carissa (Raelynn): (sorry about that, back for the moment)

BOB Talwin does find a bank next to the Garden of Persephine

BOB It is in the West Marketplace

Michael (Talwin): Do I need to roleplay that, or are we good to go. No difference to me

BOB You are good with the bank

Michael (Talwin): Cool beans. I put in in a high-yield CD account

Michael (Talwin): :)

BOB HAH

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: dunno if you see whispers or not, but zayden and I would like to observe one of the scheduled cleanings to get a general idea of what they're like. How many prisoners there are, how they are secured, how many guards are watching them, how closely they are being watched, etc. Doesn't have to be one with the gypsy (though we do want to note when/if they're scheduled to work). Just doing a little scouting.

BOB and Carissa which questions does Rae or Thistle have to add to search

-> Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Yes I have read all of those and yes you can do that for a random group

Carissa (Raelynn): not even sure what's been asked

Raelynn: guess who is it, what crime, more information about the rain

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: alrighty great

Lisa (Indigo): indigo only wanted his fortune told

TMO (Craigh): we're all separate, so ask your own questions, maybe we'll get a different flavor of detail

'Lemon' connected

BOB Shared the story with you Carissa

Carissa (Raelynn): looks like my questions are already asked

BOB and welcome back Lemon

Lisa (Indigo): figured Thistle would have questions

BOB Now the rolls for what you are trying to do about finding answers to those questions

Lisa (Indigo): Indigo can add if he thinks there's something he wants to know after

BOB and then more roleplay at the Caravan Landing about it

Lisa (Indigo): who is the Wisewoman for this clan

Carissa (Raelynn): (probably but not doing great right now so I can't think of others, I'll take whatever anyone can toss in for questions)

Carissa (Raelynn): like that is a good oen

Lisa (Indigo): what clan is it?

Carissa (Raelynn): and what god they follow although name will give it away

Carissa (Raelynn): where they traveled

Carissa (Raelynn): whyt they are here

Carissa (Raelynn): okay thank you, I needed that nudge

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Thank you friends, I desperately needed that sleep. <3

Carissa (Raelynn): where they plan to go next

Carissa (Raelynn): and what are their hopes and dreams

Carissa (Raelynn): ah and who in the city is important

Carissa (Raelynn): whether it's who is harassing them, whoever took the clanmate in, things of that degree

BOB Ok so all added to the story

Carissa (Raelynn): so really important *to them

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That story looks suspiciously like a LIST.

BOB That is shared with you Lemon so you can see what your group three is doing

BOB and LOL

Carissa (Raelynn): nah no bullet points or numbers on it

BOB So Thistle, Rae, Indigo, Howard, Bixi

BOB Talwin

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Did we follow the merman?

Carissa (Raelynn): only in our dreams

Carissa (Raelynn): but no we're in a gypsy camp maybe

BOB and so now the story is updated for you

Lisa (Howard Plum): Michael's questions didn't get answered

BOB With what you found out on your way to and through into Caravan Landing

Michael (Talwin): Which one. I had like 10

BOB chuckles there are some answers and some you need to roleplay out

BOB you can help each other if you do not understand what is there in the story for your answers

BOB as you talk about things before leaving the city

Carissa (Raelynn): (I thought it was someone from her clan but didn't think hers was that one)

BOB Those are both true Carissa

Talwin: I'm sorry to ask, but where are you seeing hte

Carissa (Raelynn): ah maybe someone jumping around

Michael (Talwin): I'm sorry to ask, but where are you seeing hte "Updated Story" I see the Alexandira questions tab open with our questions.

BOB Reshared the story to you Michael

Carissa (Raelynn): (scroll down)

Michael (Talwin): Is this a tab I mished?

Michael (Talwin): just skip for now

Michael (Talwin): I'll grab it later

BOB Lemon and Michael might have questions about the details there that Carissa and Lisa can help with for quick background

BOB What is the last line of the story you are seeing Michael? Is it about the earth?

Michael (Talwin): I don't see any of that bob. I see an open tab for Alexandira Questions, but that's it.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is there anything written in that tab?

Raelynn: I didn't know Yeniche came out this way.

Thistle: I didn't know Yeniche came out this way.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's all I have too, but there's a bunch of stuff written there, and then I scrolled down and there was more

Michael (Talwin): Sigh. Didn't realize I could scroll down

Michael (Talwin): Sorry

Michael (Talwin): God

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's a little generous calling it a "story" but it's there lol

Carissa (Thistle): (did the same, no worries)

BOB Story is the FG term

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, Carissa did tell you, but easy to overlook as it was in between your questions

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I just wanted to make sure he knew the list was thing he was supposed to be looking at, not like, a comprehensive summary kind of thing

BOB and now anything else before you get to the wall?

Carissa (Thistle): the wall?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We don't need no education

Michael (Talwin): Trying to puzzle out the nobels, but I think I understand

Michael (Talwin): There's somethign about this....

Carissa (Thistle): I want to know what their fortune was

Howard Plum: The De la Veraci family. the one the nobles were from that robbed and and killed the Wisewoman. They are a very powerful family. The recently took the title of Duke after taking the possessions of the Luria family. It is no wonder a member of the clan is imprisoned

Lisa (Howard Plum): were we supposed to share now or later

Michael (Talwin): (No I got that. I'm trying to read a deeper meening here)

BOB You can share now

Michael (Talwin): Oh oops.

BOB As you move through Newtown

Talwin: Apparentaly they just take what they want too

Talwin: Robbed a gypsy because of a bad fortune?

Talwin: And stoel from the Luria family?

Talwin: The fortune was probably something like: "What goes around comes around"

Howard Plum: The Luria family had been demoted so they were vulnerable

Talwin: Doesn't mean they are necessarily weak though. Out of favor doesn't mean helpless

Talwin: What caused their out of favor state?

Talwin: You know?

BOB Howard knows this is a repeating story, this is the second time he has heard of them having issues

BOB Before he was with the group back in 340 SKR there was a scandal

Michael (Talwin): (which family?)

BOB Luria

Talwin: (It seems their replacements are real pieces of work. Reminds me of the Borgias)

Michael (Talwin): (It seems their replacements are real pieces of work. Reminds me of the Borgias)

Gate Guard: Who wants to leave the city?

Talwin: Do you think they have caused the rains? If the gysies aren't behind it, who might be trying to destablize the current leadership?

Michael (Talwin): (That was before the guard bob. Sorry)

Michael (Talwin): (was trying to tyype fast)

BOB No worries

Indigo: We do

Talwin: Nods

Indigo: We just want to see the sights

Gate Guard: Do you have your gate pass to return in? You have to be in by sunset

The time is 1:00 PM

Indigo: Ummm ... where do you get a gate pass?

Gate Guard: We can sell you a temporary one

Carissa (Thistle): (we're leaving? I thought we were going in)

Gate Guard: 2 silver per person,

Indigo: A temporary one?

BOB They consider anything outside of the canals to not be part of the city, there is a canal and wall to keep people out

Talwin: Do you issue permanent ones for any time day or night?

Talwin: Sir

Indigo: What happens if we don't make it back by sunset?

Raelynn: How long does a temporary one last for?

Gate Guard: You can return today

Gate Guard: If not you will have to pay again tomorrow

Raelynn: So if we pay today, return today, we won't have to pay for one tomorrow?

Gate Guard: Unless you are foolish and want to go dangling in the gutter trash again

Gate Guard: Anyone with sense would go to the market for what you need

Gate Guard: nothing good out there

Lisa (Indigo): rae, thistle, talwin, howard and Indigo?

BOB yes that is the group

Talwin: Understood Sir. Do you issue Permanent Passes

Gate Guard: Your House would have one

Gate Guard: If they needed such a thing

Indigo: hands over a gold piece

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Why would we even pay for one if we have to pay for one next time we left? Nothing about this makes sense. Did we have to pay to get in?

Talwin: Shakes head regretfully. Alas, I didn't realize we need to obtain one. Thanks Indigo

Gate Guard: Takes it

Indigo: This should cover all of us

Gate Guard: Thank you

Indigo: Thanks. Can we have the pass now?

Gate Guard: I hope you find what you need quickly and get back safely

Indigo: In case you aren't here when we get back

Indigo: Me too!

Indigo: smiles

Gate Guard: Scibbles a note with each of your names, frowns at Thistle, looks with disapointment at Talwin and Rae

Gate Guard: Hands it back to Indigo

Carissa (Raelynn): (disappointment??)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Racist guard?

Talwin: Nods Politely

Talwin: Thank you

Carissa (Raelynn): (and why would Thistle give her real name here?)

BOB Oops it has Bixi on it too

Indigo: puts it in his pouch

BOB and not to Thistle's name, but to her looking like a gyspy

Indigo: We better get going so we can get back in time

Carissa (Raelynn): (ah. stil rude)

BOB and for Rae and Talwin looking like good upstanding citizens to go slumming like this

Carissa (Raelynn): (and fair)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I still don't understand why we need a pass

Talwin: Its a form of control

Michael (Talwin): Oh sorry. Didnn't register that was OOC

BOB Rivers Bend is all about water, canals, you either walk or you use a boat for heavier goods

BOB When you are all together you will have the other notes to help tie everything together

BOB right now you are out past the wall

BOB no way back in except with your pass or by boat

BOB Ship ;)

BOB and you walk through the first places where large heavy goods that come in from Drillian are kept

BOB a handful of houses and warehouses

BOB Then farther out into an open area where there are two sets of circled wagons

BOB for gypsy camps

BOB There are armed guards walking back and forth

BOB Some from the City, pointed at the camps, Some gypsies watching those guards

BOB and the rain continues to come down

BOB a grey scene

BOB What would you like to do

Carissa (Raelynn): I'm confused.

Michael (Talwin): (I'm picturing the scene one moment)

Michael (Talwin): (Trying to thinmk about the approach)

BOB Ask Carissa

Carissa (Raelynn): We have questions answered. Did you answer them before we went to visit the gypsies?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, what I would like to do is catch up on what I missed while I was asleep lol. I don't understand what is happening.

Carissa (Raelynn): Or have we already visited them?

Michael (Talwin): (we have not? Unless I missed a big chunck of the game)

BOB Those questions are the things you overheard or talked to random people on your way through the city to this point

Carissa (Raelynn): okay

BOB It has been three hours to leave the docks, split up, find a bank, make your way here, out of the gates and now to the gypsy camps

Carissa (Raelynn): did not realize that

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So we've just been walking around aimlessly, gathering info?

BOB The other two groups left the same time, went and found information and you are all going to gather back up at the docks this evening

BOB for dinner

BOB and to bring all the information together

Lisa (Indigo): Indigo can try and talk to the guards while you sneak in or Howard can cause a distraction

Talwin: I invested in a high-yield CD account, but in all seriousness I'm fine just walking up. People do that. Apparantely even murderious nobelwomen

Lisa (Indigo): or you can try to walk in by the guards

Carissa (Raelynn): do we need to sneak by them? we can't just freely go there?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, wouldn't they let Thistle in?

Carissa (Raelynn): or Rae or Talwin as "nobles" also wanting a fortune or somethyin

Talwin: Walks up to the guard

Talwin: Walks up to the guard

Talwin: Is the entrance open for those seeking fortunes?

City Camp Guard: Shakes her head

Talwin: Camp is sealed then?

City Camp Guard: You know they are just trying to take your money?

Talwin: It's actually a ridiculous bet I lossed actually

City Camp Guard: There are so many other better ways to enjoy yourself

Talwin: I have better things to be doing today, trust me

Talwin: But no one will sully my name that I lossed a bet

Raelynn: Oh but there's such novelty to it!

Talwin: And din't get the damn fortune

Talwin: Grumbles

City Camp Guard: Shakes her head

City Camp Guard: go waste your money,

City Camp Guard: you have your gate pass?

Talwin: Yes Ma'am,

Raelynn: nods and shows it

City Camp Guard: I will not come save you

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Why would we need a gate pass to visit the camp! This isn't effing disneyworld.

City Camp Guard: But if you give me a note I will take it to your family

Talwin: Sigh.

Raelynn: Well that's why I brought this strong man with me.

Raelynn: giggles

Talwin: Stupid bets. INdigo you asshole

Carissa (Raelynn): (she needs acting as a prof)

Talwin: I wan't double or nothing next time

Talwin: No note for me, my will is on the ship

City Camp Guard: It is your own bridge to cross

Talwin: But thank you for your generosity Ma'am for delivering to my family.

Waves you through

Talwin: Bows deep and passes a silver

Raelynn: Come along now, no need to linger.

Raelynn: grabs Talwin's arm and drags him along

Talwin: Fine fine

Gypsy Camp Guard: Looks you up and down,

Gypsy Camp Guard: You can come in my little nugget, pointing at Bixi

Bixi Fizzlebang: Nugget!?

Thistle: Hey be nice to her. She ain't use to that.

Gypsy Camp Guard: Looks at Rae, approvingly

Talwin: Puts arm protectively arround the hellion

Talwin: Hand on sword

Gypsy Camp Guard: Glances back over at Thistle listening

Gypsy Camp Guard: Raises an eyebrow

Thistle: raises and eyebrow back

Gypsy Camp Guard: You taking them under your wing? showing them a good time?

Thistle: Me? Pfffft, they make their own good time.

Gypsy Camp Guard: Hah

Talwin: I don't get the innuendo, but they are my friends that's for sure

Thistle: Not up to my speed.

Thistle: But ya, good people.

Gypsy Camp Guard: Shrugs, you are a mixed lot,

Gypsy Camp Guard: Who are they?

Thistle: Friends here to help.

Talwin: Muscle

Gypsy Camp Guard: We don't need no city folk

Bixi Fizzlebang: A stew with only one ingredient isn't a very good stew

Talwin: Oh trust me, we are far from that

Gypsy Camp Guard: Laughs, I like that nugget

Thistle: I can't speak for all them, but Gramma likes Indigo.

Gypsy Camp Guard: You sound like good people

Gypsy Camp Guard: Indigo?

Gypsy Camp Guard: glances over at him

Thistle: points to Indigo

Indigo: Me

Gypsy Camp Guard: Who are you ?

Talwin: Him?

Indigo: Indigo

Thistle: Admiral Indigo. Helped us out in Ghostwood.

Gypsy Camp Guard: You have the right name but you do not look like......

Thistle: OH!

Indigo: I'm betting I meet an Indigo inside too

Thistle: Tall Indigo?

Indigo: grins

Thistle: Man I haven't seen 'em in ages.

Talwin: I'll take that bet Indigo! We are good at betting

Talwin: I lose

Thistle: Nah, they're Yeniche. Unless Indigo hitched up here.

BOB You do know whose name to drop

Indigo: I think you will!

Gypsy Camp Guard: I wonder just where you came from

Michael (Talwin): (wouldon't happen to be sunflower, or sunfriss, or that other gypsy lady is it?)

Carissa (Thistle): (he means either that or Bran)

Carissa (Thistle): (probably Bran because it's always Bran)

Michael (Talwin): (I can't remember the name. Feel like a dumbass)

Michael (Talwin): (Wisewoman Sunflower?)

Thistle: Ghostwood. My Gramma's Wisewoman Sunflower, but been hangin' around Branwyn lately.

Gypsy Camp Guard: Impressed

Talwin: We came from Branwyns Domain

Thistle: Er, well lately minus six years.

Gypsy Camp Guard: Branwyn the Mysterious is a good friend to the folk

Gypsy Camp Guard: You come in and take care

Indigo: Thanks!

Gypsy Camp Guard: I will be off duty in a couple of hours Nugget, looking forward to it

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ew?

Thistle: You don't gotta.

Thistle: quietly to Bixi

Talwin: Thanks

Talwin: Warm smile

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Thistle: I don't know what he wants, but he's not getting it from me

Thistle -> Bixi Fizzlebang: They can be... overly flirtatious sometimes. So probably whatcha think he wants.

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Thistle: Gross

BOB For those who were not around way back when Branwyn (and others) saved a gypsy caravan, and helped pay for them to recover their wagons, etc. Those other characters are long gone, only Branwyn and Indigo are left.

Thistle -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Ya. Men, am I right?

Thistle: grins

BOB and you wander into the camp

User has gone AFK. (Lorie)

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Thistle: (Yeah, but for some reason only the NPC ones?)

Michael (Talwin): Was hugh around for that, or befor emy time. I"m certain we've interacted with Gypsys several time during my tenure

User has gone AFK. (LordBiBo)

Thistle -> Bixi Fizzlebang: (lol because if it was PC I'd be having words by now)

Lisa (Indigo): before your time

BOB Yes to Michael that you interacted with Gypies, Hugh was not part of that encounter

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No offense BOB :P

BOB That was back in 2011

BOB and laughs with Lemon and Carissa over the whispers

Carissa (Thistle): lol

Lisa (Indigo): so anything for in game?

BOB now that you are in camp who do you want to talk to?

Carissa (Thistle): Sapphire and Jade would make most sense I'd think

BOB to gather any new parts to add to what you know

TMO (Craigh): nbody, they just wanted to see if they could get in. they're leaving now

BOB HAH

Michael (Talwin): (Oh I should apologizer to lisa. I only called INdigo an ass to go with the excuse. Hope you didn't take offense :) )

BOB You tell me who you want to talk to, and if everyone is there talking with them

Michael (Talwin): (Although why they thought we would be killed for entering the camp is odd.)

Lisa (Indigo): I did not. It's pretty much Talwin

Michael (Talwin): (They seemed to think we would be murdered)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Probably racist

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): wrong side of the tracks etc.

Michael (Talwin): I mean I guess. Just never had that one happen before. But then again, we never really had to interact with Guards near a camp before...so...maybe it's the norm!

Carissa (Thistle): Thistle wants to talk to Jade and Sapphire. I don't know about anyone else.

Michael (Talwin): So we could just go get our Fortunes Lisa, and even if we don't get anything out of it, we might still get some casual conversation from the fortuneteller.

Talwin: Thoughts?

Michael (Talwin): Thoughts?

Michael (Talwin): OOC

BOB So Thistle, Bixi, Howard and Rae to talk with Jade while Talwin and Indigo have their fortunes told

Bixi Fizzlebang: Thistle, do gypsy clans have ghost hunters? I'd love to find someone who shares my interests to talk to. It's been awhile.

BOB Then over to Sapphire after?

Thistle: Mmm, maybe one of the storytellers has some for ya.

BOB and that works too for Bixi

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, then I want to go find a storyteller, and pay them for a story?

BOB so first is Jade with Thistle, Howard and Rae

BOB and then next is Bixi, Talwin and Indigo

Raelynn: Do you want me to go with you, Bixi? Or do you feel comfortable going alone?

Carissa (Raelynn): (nevermind)

BOB Totally up to the group

Carissa (Raelynn): (no that works)

BOB I am just nudging things along

Bixi Fizzlebang: I would definitely like some company, whoever is interested in hearing a story. I'm sure it will be good!

Lisa (Indigo): pls do

Bixi Fizzlebang: Even if it's not about ghosts!

Talwin: I can go with you Bixi before I get my fortune if you want?

Talwin: Hesitates

Raelynn: Oh there. Yes, go with her Talwin.

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: I'll follow your lead

BOB So first up Thistle

BOB You come over to the one circle to see Jade, the presumed next Wisewoman

Jade: Soft smile, Welcome

Thistle: smiles back

Thistle: Hi. Ya got a moment?

Jade: soft chuckle

Jade: At least you are to the point

Jade: What can I do for you

Thistle: Gramma always said it was a blessing and curse.

Thistle: Well, see. I got a vision, uh, I dunno, awhile go, and I gotta save someone, but it was all fuzzy, ya know? And I'm trying to work it out and I feel like this is where I should start?

Jade: Who do you want to save?

Thistle: Someone in my clan is in prison here, but I don't know why, and I'm a little fuzzy on who even. I just know they gotta be saved.

Thistle: And rumors we heard in town make me thing y'all are somehow connected.

Thistle: *think

Jade: We do have troubles

Jade: I am not certain it is your clan

Thistle: Oh. Are ya sure? That one I thought I got right...

Jade: Young Lodesir was taken away

Jade: He was hung two weeks ago

Thistle: frowns

Thistle: Because of the nobles being, well, nobles?

Jade: Glow and Willow were both taken and hung last week

Jade: They are thinking that we caused this rain

Thistle: How long ago did your Wisewoman, er, pass?

Jade: just over 6 weeks

Thistle: nods

Thistle: Easy stone to throw.

Thistle: But whoever I saw I'm pretty sure if still alive...

Thistle: *is

Thistle: And in the prison. But I dunno for how long.

Jade: There are three of our clan in the prison now

Jade: I only know of Indigo by name

Thistle: OH! So it IS Indigo?

Jade: He is a good young rambunctious child

Thistle: Wait... do we mean the same Indigo? Is there a third Indigo?

Jade: There are many Indigos

Thistle: Yeah.... it gets a lil' confusin'

Jade: I would speak with Sapphire to see who of her family is there

Thistle: Well... if I can help ya, I'll help ya, too. I just know why I was drawn here.

Thistle: Well, your clan.

Thistle: nods

Thistle: I was gonna next.

Jade: You can talk with her, convince her to take up her rightful position

Thistle: Why her and not you?

Jade: I am not worthy of it

Thistle: Why's that?

Jade: I enjoy my peace, my weaving, I am willing to hear others and let them lead

Jade: Someone needs to be forthright, to take charge

Thistle: shakes head

Thistle: Sometimes the best leaders are those who don't wanna be

Thistle: But I'll talk to her.

Thistle: Thank you.

Fortune Teller: Fortunes Told, Lucky Charms

Fortune Teller: Come right up

Fortune Teller: You there, you look like a lucky young man

Looking at Indigo

Indigo: Hello!

Fortune Teller: Tell me what is your favorite number

Indigo: 4

Fortune Teller: Becasue that is the number of apples you like in your tart

Indigo: grins

Fortune Teller: What are you in search of lucky man

Indigo: That's a big tart!

Indigo: Ummm nothing at the moment. I'm just helping friends

Fortune Teller: Friends are good, helping is good

Indigo: I stopped searching for things a while ago

Fortune Teller: A good young man as well as lucky

Fortune Teller: content is a nice place to be

Fortune Teller: Are you looking for a future?

Indigo: Yes please

Indigo: holds out his hand to be cut

Fortune Teller: Pulls out a silver bowl and pauses then smiles seeing he knows

Fortune Teller: You are an interesting young man

Indigo: Think so?

Fortune Teller: Pulls out some herbs and a vial of liquid

Fortune Teller: starts to mix in the bowl

Fortune Teller: takes Indigo's hand and gives a small nick and three drops of blood

Indigo: watches the bowl

Fortune Teller: bends over to kiss the cut

Fortune Teller: blocking his view

Indigo: smiles

Fortune Teller: when she leans back up there is a small clover shape in the bowl

Indigo: It's okay if it's a bad fortune

Fortune Teller: Three leaves

Fortune Teller: She looks over and swirls

Indigo: What does that mean?

Fortune Teller: I would have thought it would be four for you

Indigo: So is it bad?

Fortune Teller: I feel that you are right that you are not searching for more, that you are content with your fortune

Fortune Teller: That is a rare thing

Fortune Teller: It would only be bad if you aspire to be more

Indigo: okay

Indigo: Thank you

Fortune Teller: Have a safe journey over the bridge

Fortune Teller: She smiles

User has gone AFK. (TMO)

Indigo: smiles

Indigo: Thanks!

Story Teller: Hello there young gnome

Story Teller: what brings you to our clan today?

BOB middle aged male, gold hair, wet from the rain, sitting out without a covering

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello! I'm just here to help my friend, but I've heard there are good stories to be heard here! My interest mostly lies in ghost stories, but I'm happy to hear anything, and glad to pay, either with coin or if there is something that would help your clan more that I can do

Story Teller: Whoa whoa

Story Teller: take your time

Story Teller: Of course there are stories for anyone who takes the time to listen

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm short, time goes faster for us

Story Teller: smiles,

Story Teller: Listen to the rain,

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, I can take time to listen. Harder to take time to talk

Story Teller: hear that patter on the tent

Bixi Fizzlebang: nods

Talwin: Aren't you cold?

Talwin: Looks a little worried

Story Teller: Listen as it drums out the tune of the mourning

Story Teller: Sadly we all grow cold in the end

Story Teller: I intend to have many more warm summers ahead

Bixi Fizzlebang: Is it drumming out the mourning or reflecting it?

Story Teller: but in the end winter comes

Talwin: Puzzled, but stands next to Bixi showing support

Story Teller: Smiles with Bixi

Story Teller: I hear the rain trying to wash out sorrow

Story Teller: to cleanse for a new day

Story Teller: But I can tell you a happier story

Bixi Fizzlebang: patiently listening. Super patiently.

BOB He gives a story about a clan traveling from the swamps all the way to the mountain passes and into a strange land of wild horsemen and strange blue skinned priests

Bixi Fizzlebang: the most patient Bixi has ever been in her entire life

BOB with giants and walking snowmen

Bixi Fizzlebang: shudders a little at the giant part and glances at Talwin

Talwin: Watchign with Rapt Attention

BOB He wraps it up with a huge meeting of clans exchanging children in a happy sharing as young folk grow and travel to new places with new people

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Perhaps this storyteller knows where we can find more giants to rid the world of.

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Shh, he's at the good part!

BOB and while that is going on we go back to Thistle with Sapphire

Shapphire: Hello my curious visitor

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Saphire, Sapphire, Shapphire, make up your mind, woman

Sapphire: grins

Thistle: Hey, how are ya? Er, all things considered?

Sapphire: I am curious about your visit and your friends

Sapphire: It is not often that we have courtious visitors and of late even fewer

Thistle: Well, I was talkin' to Jade about that, but also wanted to talk to you. I got a vision of someone in prison here I need to save? I thought it was one of my clan, but ya know how visions get all fuzzy and stuff.

Thistle: She said you might know who's in jail needin' saving?

Sapphire: anyone in jail needs saving

Sapphire: We do have three of our clans being kept away from freedom

Sapphire: Indigo, Woundwort, and Cast

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Thistle: Huh. Is Indigo, like a kid, or is he a tall man?

Sapphire: He is a young man

Thistle: I'm happy to help 'em all if I can. I'm just tryin' to figure out who was in my vision.

Sapphire: not much older than 10?

Thistle: Nah, ain't the same Indigo then.

Thistle: Hmm, almost was lookin' forward to seein' him.

Thistle: Were they takin' 'cause of this noble nonsense?

Sapphire: It seems so

Thistle: And the rains an' all?

Thistle: Any idea what's causin' them? 'Cause it ain't a'll.

Thistle: *y'all

Sapphire: It feels they are trying to cleanse the city

Thistle: The rains?

Sapphire: It is a sad thing

Thistle: Bet a city like this has a lot to cleanse...

Sapphire: When Wisewoman Agate was murdered

Sapphire: It was a very sad stain

Thistle: What was the fortune she gave the murderers?

Sapphire: I do not know

Thistle: Does anyone?

Sapphire: None that I am aware of

Sapphire: perhaps if there was something from them it could help

Thistle: nods

Thistle: Why y'all still here if they keep pickin' you off?

Sapphire: We need a decision

Sapphire: I want Jade to take up the mantel so we can move along

Sapphire: She will be best to lead us

Sapphire: I want things too much

Thistle: Why not you?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): why don't they just vote?

Sapphire: to take and do what I want

Thistle: Well ya both gonna get more kill if ya can't figure it out.

Sapphire: A wisewoman needs to have seen the world

Sapphire: to know what others think and take that into consideration

Thistle: I mean, I guess. But dither ain't helpin' either.

Thistle: *dithering

Sapphire: nods sagely

Sapphire: Perhaps you can help her find a way

Thistle: Well, we'll see if we can at least help ya with those stuck in jail.

Thistle: Anyone in the city I gotta know about?

Michael (Talwin): (I'm still going strong, but in half hour, I need to take Max out for a short bathroom break :) )

Sapphire: None that I know of

Lisa (Indigo): Thistle should be wisewoman

Thistle: No one specific who comes here or anythin'?

BOB Grins

Carissa (Thistle): :)

Sapphire: Nothing from anyone that is part of our clan

Sapphire: We are trying to keep out of the city now

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): In about half an hour I'll be back and forth while making some dinner. Not planning on logging out for it

Thistle: Hmm, alright. Well if ya got anything else useful to help me break 'em out of jail - legally preferrably - let me know.

BOB and so that wraps up all three portions of the investgative visits

User is back. (TMO)

Story: Alexandria Questions - Criagh and Licornah

Thistle: Thank ya.

User is back. (LordBiBo)

Story: Alexandria Questions - Talwin, Indigo, Thistle

Story: Alexandria Questions - Zayden and Akilah

BOB and there are the three full story modules so you can all compare your questions and your answers

BOB You are all back on the docks

BOB and will be looking for a place to stay

BOB and Akilah & Zayden have a plan

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): Indigo's in jail?

BOB restroom adn then back to answer any remaining questins

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): different Indigo

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): It's hardly a common name lol

Talwin: Well everyone, shall we compare notes?

Carissa (Thistle): it's the third one we'll meet

Talwin: I heard an interesting stroy from a gypsy storyteller, but other than picking up some tidbits about how the city operates, nothing too useful

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Seems like it is pretty common around here lol

Talwin: If you leave out the gate, you must obtain a pass and be back by nightfall

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wait, we didn't get Talwin's fortune

Talwin: There are gaurds keeping watch on the Gypsy Camp, but not sure why

Thistle: 'Cause they're dicks.

Michael (Talwin): (We'll do it later)

Talwin: Shakes head

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Also don't forget the beer before we leave the city. For the merman.

Talwin: I'm not so sure

Licornah: It seems we're going to need to research more for information about traveling to the lower planes

Thistle: You're not sure they're dicks?

Talwin: No not that

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We have a lead on how to liberate our gypsy friend, but it is less than legal and therefore carries some level of risk. If you have no other options, I can elaborate.

Talwin: Did anyone discover a more...legal or ....expensive option?

Licornah: Based on what we learned about the prison, can't we just fork over coin and free him?

Thistle: Well, see, there's three of 'em.

Talwin: What did you learn?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: What exactly is the charge though?

Talwin: Shrugs

Thistle: Who evers got coin.

Craigh: They hate piracy here. They pride themselves on stealing money the old-fashioned way: bribes and gifts.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: If they were simply arrested for making it rain, what prevents them from not getting arrested again for the weather?

Talwin: Yes...that's why I suggested it

Thistle: Good thing the pirate's back with the boat then.

Talwin: to Craigh

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: We cannot be paying their fines for enternity.

Talwin: So we either pay the fine, get them to elect aleader and move on, or fine a way to prove them innocent.

Thistle: Or get rid of the rain

Talwin: I'm fine paying to have them extracted, but they need to be able to move out quickly.

Talwin: Nods to Thistle

Talwin: Nods to Thistle

Talwin: Or do that. It's a matter of what we think is a better option. I've learned very little about the rain other than it started after two boys got murdered

Thistle: I mean, even if we get 'em out, if it keeps rainin' then they'll still have problems.

Talwin: Either someone is framing the gypsies by planting tarot cards

Thistle: Aren't there people who, like, make a livin' reading about weather?

Talwin: Er

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Do we have the magical means to control the weather ourselves? That sounds like priestly magic.

Indigo: Yeah just remove the curse or dispel magic

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: That is assuming it is a curse. It does not feel like one.

Raelynn: We'd need to know where the spell was centered if it was a curse.

Indigo: What does it feel like?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Curses tend to have some thing more severe to them than making everyone wet. I would expect flooding and the like at least

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: I've heard nothing of flooding, just rain.

Thistle: Ya don't think causin' a rain that gets people murdered is severe enough?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: The rain is murdering people?

Thistle: Indirectly. Could be a clever curse.

BOB It is spring, when the rivers rise and come into the lake there will be flooding

BOB hopefully normal levels of water rise

BOB This is like Venis

BOB Venice

BOB geeze

BOB But yes a good summary of your options

BOB Several unknowns, a couple of solutions, and unknowns for what happens based on each of those solutions

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: It reminds me of the type of trickery marid might get up to, though I would not expect one to be in the area. Could be some similar being causing the trouble.

BOB sort of like some sort of weather control got out of wack for some reason and needs to be fixed

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Are there any churches in the area that worship a god that might be associated with weather or water?

Michael (Talwin): Yeah, this is beyond Talwin

BOB Posieden

TMO (Craigh): thoughts and prayers to the people of Rivers Bend. I'll change my profile pic to show their flag

Carissa (Thistle): (anyone visit them?)

BOB LOL

BOB No to visiting any churches yet

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Type of folk that might be in charge of keeping the weather in check.

Licornah: No one here follows the Greek Pantheon? Could we appeal to his avatar to turn the rains? Could we visit his temple for aid?

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: Might be worth a look.

Talwin: I'm happy to help

Talwin: I'm not of the Greek faith, so am unsure if they would attack me on site, but I can go and ask

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: It would not be the first time that some god was offended and decided to have a hissy fit at the cost of their followers.

Raelynn: It's worth checking, although we still need dinner and a place to stay.

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: That was not among the list of things we looked for this day, is it

BOB So far not

BOB Did you want to stay near the docks?

BOB Or in a nicer part of the city

Raelynn: Oh! Maybe tonight we could try a seance for those nobles or the Wisewoman! Although I don't know if we have what we need...

'Shislif' connected

Raelynn: Talwin wanted nicer this time if we can find a good deal

Carissa (Raelynn): (ooc)

BOB Welcome back Sharif

Michael (Talwin): I'd like to try for that at least

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: We could use a good rest in a quiet area

Sharif: hi thx :)

Talwin: Sighs

Raelynn: Maybe between Zayden and I, we can get a good deal somewhere.

Talwin: Lots of options and much to do

BOB for 10 gold for the night and dinner

Michael (Talwin): Holy Shit. Is this the Ritz Carlton? I'll sleep on teh ship

Carissa (Raelynn): docks then unless we can roll to see if we can lower it

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): back and forth making dinner now

BOB an older palazzio, the family is away bringing a new racing ship back from Terraguard

Craigh: Where else would Lords stay the night?

Craigh: You're not mercenaries anymore.

BOB You have the full place to your self except the servants of course, and on a canal

Zayden: So where are we staying for the night?

Talwin: Sigh

Talwin: The nice place

BOB ok

Talwin: But I reserve the right to bitch about it

Zayden: I like nice places

BOB chuckles

Lisa (Indigo): you wanted it

Carissa (Raelynn): (so no bargining?)

BOB no to bargaining

Michael (Talwin): For ten gold, that might as well be the Grand Californian Hotel

Shislif (Zayden): Zay could use some persuasion?

Raelynn: Oh, it's good to splurge on yourself every now and then.

BOB but might be able to use that for other things

Michael (Talwin): Some nobels don't live that well

BOB You do have a bunch of people

Carissa (Raelynn): (yeah but then we'd never leave)

Craigh: Besides, remember how grumpy we got after too long stuck together on the boat.

Raelynn: (LINK)

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UehilhnMt5Y">(LINK)</a>

Raelynn: Yes, let's get some better sleep so we don't have that again.

Zayden: Did we get grumpy? I had a great time on the boat, and my shoulders look AMAZING

Talwin: Laughs

Talwin: Yeah I know. Just startled me. You be poor once, and you never quite forget it

Talwin: Took me aback, that's all

BOB You are all sitting around the very large indoor plaza

Lorie (Licornah): :: lingers by the after dinner fire to work on her weaving and ponders the source of the rain ::

BOB safe from the rains

Zayden: This is anice indoor plaza eh? Pretty large

BOB watching the drops in the canals

BOB three servants to bring out refreshments after dinner

Zayden: Rain is quite pretty, I like the sound of it too

Zayden: so long as you can stay dry of course

BOB You have 7 bedrooms on the upper two floors

Raelynn: Yes although it does make my hair frizz.

Zayden: Ha, well maybe every once in a while it's good to frizz you know

BOB Bixi gets a note back from Youtargim that he bought more food stores for Knotty and had someone clean out the hold

Zayden: That was nice of Yout

Indigo: We should go get Youtargim!

BOB And he wants to know what to do with your person there

Indigo: he shouldn't be on the knarr by himself

Zayden: he still on the Knarr?

Craigh: So, before we try to break these three out of jail, legally or otherwise, I'd like to borrow at least Indigo and Talwin to go meet someone. He supposedly knows devil stuff, and I need your opinions on if you think if the Marquessa would want to have his help for a bit.

Talwin: Nods

TMO (Craigh): sorry, conversation happened while I was typing. ;)

Talwin: I'll grab him. But, we really should have someone keep watch on the Knarr. I can take the first night

Lorie (Licornah): (afk a bit for puppy walk)

Zayden: Devil stuff?

Zayden: sounds ominous

Lisa (Indigo): don't they have dock guards?

Craigh: I believe she has an overdue library book she's trying to return.

BOB Yes there are guards at the docks

Talwin: If they do, do you trust them?

Zayden: Isn't part of the dock fee keeping our ship safe?

Talwin: Is all of our loot stored away?

BOB But you have a prisoner in your hold, someone has to be there with him

TMO (Craigh): nah, he has a bucket to poop in

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): thought we were dropping him off here?

Talwin: I'll send Yout Back

Lisa (Indigo): I thought we released him when we landed

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): why do we still have him?

BOB no one ever did

Lisa (Indigo): I thought I said that

BOB I did not see it

Carissa (Raelynn): (also making dinner, half here)

Lisa (Indigo): ok

BOB also there is knotty in the hold

Zayden: Didn't get to do any fishing

Talwin: I'll take tomorrow night here. I'll meet withy ou first thing tomorrow. I'll figure out what to do with our prisoner too.

LordBiBo (Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal): It's been the plan, we releast his silly butt now

Talwin: I'll feed Knotty too

Talwin: Now I'm leaving before we remember more things that we should have a person on the ship for

Talwin: chuckles

BOB Did Talwin want to go with Criagh and Indigo first?

Talwin: Leaves for Docks

Michael (Talwin): (where?)

Zayden: Stay safe Tal!

Michael (Talwin): Missed that

BOB Where he asked you

Michael (Talwin): Fuck, where did you guys want me to go, at this point i'm effing lost

Michael (Talwin): Temple, intelligence, camp, ship, pavilion?

Shislif (Zayden): I dunno

BOB So, before we try to break these three out of jail, legally or otherwise, I'd like to borrow at least Indigo and Talwin to go meet someone. He supposedly knows devil stuff, and I need your opinions on if you think if the Marquessa would want to have his help for a bit.

Shislif (Zayden): I thought we were chillin in the plaza

BOB That was by Craigh

Michael (Talwin): OK. So am I doing that?

Shislif (Zayden): devil stuff

Lisa (Indigo): you don't have to

BOB so Craigh, Indigo, Talwin, and anyone who wants can go

TMO (Craigh): anyone is welcome

BOB totally up to who wants to go

Zayden: I'll pass of devil stuff thanks

Zayden: on

Talwin: I'll help and head to docks on way back

Shislif (Zayden): I thought we were preparing to go to sleep? in the game?

Zayden: we need to be well rested if we're going to break these three out of jail, legally or otherwise

BOB Yes it is evening

BOB rainy gloomy dusky

BOB and off to talk about devils

Zayden: I could play a little night song? Those are best when it's raining

Craigh: It shouldn't take very long, no matter the result. And evening is probably the best time to find this person. That neighborhood doesn't do early mornings much

BOB Heading off

Zayden: True my granny always used to say the Devil does his work at night!

BOB Craigh, Talwin and Indigo

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: ((gotta head off, not sure if I'll be back or not))

BOB See you later Marco

Shislif (Zayden): Take care!

BOB We will be here

Akilah bint-Fahkr al Hiyal: ((later))

'LordBiBo' disconnected

Shislif (Zayden): enjoyed our 1-on-1 time!

BOB Howard could go if you want

BOB and that was very nice Sharif you two got a lot done

Shislif (Zayden): oh lol did we? cool

BOB Letting TMO do this meeting

BOB I will format what we have so far in the chat

Craigh: Howard would actually be very good, if he's willing.

Howard Plum: I will attend

Craigh: Thanks.

Craigh: That it?

Michael (Talwin): (Talwin said yes)

Craigh: So, we're headed to a place called the Spotted Trout in Harlen.

Talwin: What should we know

Talwin: And are we killing anyting

Craigh: I hope not.

Talwin: Nods

Shislif (Zayden): brb

Talwin: Draws cloak tighter about himself

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Craigh: I was told he calls himself Fives, and can often be found around the Spotted Trout in Harlen.

Howard Plum: Is it a tavern or a thieves guild?

Craigh: And he supposedly knows about devils

Craigh: Tavern, probably.

Talwin: If it's a shady spot, I'll try and keep a lookout.

Craigh: They go down dark streets, across bridges, always in the drizzle.

Talwin: Want us to do anything in particular? Look menacing? Add input? Let you do the talking?

Craigh: I want your input. You all know the Marquessa better than me. Would she want this help?

Talwin: .....

Talwin: Honesly I dont know

Craigh: It may be useless. Maybe helpful.

Indigo: Okay

Talwin: I do try to respect her privacy

Talwin: But I'll see what I can add

Craigh: Craigh grins. "I wasn't asking you to read her diary."

Craigh: Just to give your informed opinion.

Talwin: Chuckles. As if I could. She probably has it spelled 6 ways from Sundas

Craigh: Indigo, Howard? Thoughts before we get there?

Craigh: This is Harlen, so it should be around here somewhere.

Indigo: We should hear what he says.

Talwin: Is he a information trade kind of guy? Or a bribe kind of guy?

Craigh: Good question!

Craigh: I'll let you know when we find out.

Talwin: With a name like fives, I doubt he'll give it out of the charity of his heart

Indigo: Maybe we could bet for it

Talwin: Yes, but we just establish I lose all bets! Especially when it makes for a great cover story

Talwin: I'll give you two to one odds!

Indigo: I didn't mean for you to

Talwin: Laughs

Talwin: Sorry Indigo. Was just having a private joke

Craigh: That's how eager he is to lose.

Craigh: I see a fish sign. I think that's it.

Indigo: Good

BOB Site is updated to just before getting the palazzo so Sharif, Lemon, Carissa, Lorie can skim over and see anything they missed

Craigh: We'll be drying inside the fish tavern

Talwin: Excellent. Should we head on in?

TMO (Craigh): *dryer

Talwin: Snorts

Talwin: I do see the irony

Talwin: Clever

TMO (Craigh): Inside is just a normal canal-side tavern. Tables, fire, keeper, etc

TMO (Craigh): People at the tables, talking, drinking, eating.

Michael (Talwin): (Are you taking Bob's part for this? Just want tomake sure Id on't start on something that may not be accurate)

Michael (Talwin): (Not a problem either way)

TMO (Craigh): I believe Bob is intending me to do it

Michael (Talwin): (Perfect. Gotcha.)

BOB Yes TMO is doing these

Craigh: Okay. So, who in here looks like a Fives?

BOB This is my chance to stretch and move

Lisa (Indigo): good

Talwin: Looks at Craigh. Is that a name we just drop around?

Craigh: Craigh shrugs.

Talwin: If so, we can ask the barkeep

Indigo: walks up the bar and orders ales

Craigh: What I was just about to say.

Talwin: You want to? Or would you like me to?

Craigh: Craigh gestures for Talwin to go ahead.

Talwin: Nods

Indigo: Here Howard. You need a drink too

Talwin: Moves to the barkeep

Talwin: Politely waits until the man finishes his current customer

Talwin: Politely waits until the man finishes his current customer

Barkeep: What'll ya have?

TMO (Barkeep): (trying to figure out how to do all this. ;))

Talwin: I apologize for bothering you sir, but I was directed to ask for a ...odd name...a "Fives" and to pay for his and my drink. Frankly I have no idea who this man is, I'm just supposed to speak with him and tip you generiously

Talwin: Puts two gold pieces on the counter

Talwin: Puts two gold pieces on the counter

Barkeep: He makes the coins disappear.

Talwin: Waits patiently, rain dripping off his cloak

Barkeep: Going to take him away, are you? Eh, whatever. He's over there, the one sleeping at the table.

Talwin: Take him away? That was not in my orders, but would be good to know. Has this man bothered you?

Talwin: Threatened you?

Talwin: Caused you mischeif?

Talwin: Eyes narrow

Barkeep: Not really, no sir. Just not the usual kind we get in here.

Barkeep: Makes the others a bit nervous, and they spend less.

Talwin: Then I thank ee for your time Good Sir. To make up for his inconvenience.

Talwin: Puts two more gold on the counter

Talwin: An ale for the three of us

Talwin: An ale for the three of us

Lisa (Indigo): jeeze - there are 4 of us - who are you skipping

Barkeep: He makes the coins disappear again, and quickly 3 cups appear on the bar, filled.

Lisa (Indigo): you'll have to hit the bank before we leave at this rate :)

Michael (Talwin): (Craigh told me to talk to the guy?)

Michael (Talwin): (OH!)

Michael (Talwin): (Yeah, I'm making sure this comes out of mine. People remember generious tippers)

Michael (Talwin): (But I'll keep it in mind :) )

Barkeep: He also puts a bowl of fish stew up on the counter.

Barkeep: On the house, sir.

Talwin: Nods graciously "Thank ee sir"

Howard Plum: coughs

Talwin: Smiles at Howard

Howard Plum: May I get an ale as well?

Talwin: Easy boyo

Talwin: This was for you

Talwin: Slides Stew and Ale

Indigo: Here Howard you can have mine

Talwin: You've earned it

Indigo: He didn't mean to forget you

Talwin: And as apologies from this morning

Michael (Talwin): (I really didn't forget him)

Indigo: I already ate dinner thank you

Michael (Talwin): (Just hadn't gotten there yet)

Lisa (Indigo): there's 4 of us and you ordered 3 I assumed if anyone you would have forgot him

Michael (Talwin): Howard?

Talwin: No this was his apology

Michael (Talwin): No this was his apology

Michael (Talwin): I'm not drinking with some weiro named "Fives"

Michael (Talwin): :)

TMO (Barkeep): lol

Talwin: Shall we go bother Mister Fives?

Indigo: Are you going to bother him or listen to him?

Michael (Talwin): (So, I don't want to take teh whole lead.)

Michael (Talwin): (Do you want me to take lead?)

Lisa (Indigo): If you lead and smack him around or be mean we'll wait at the bar

TMO (Craigh): (if anyone wants it, take it, so I'm not talking to myself while you all just sit and listen. ;)

Michael (Talwin): (I'm not that evil!)

Michael (Talwin): (I was just gonna talk to the dude. Frankly, I hoped Craigh was going to ask the question)

TMO (Craigh): I can take as much as you want me to

Michael (Talwin): I mean, the guys passed out at a bar drunk, not very sporting even if I was a complete psyuchopath

Craigh: Anyways, that's him over there I think.

Talwin: Nah, no bothering. Just ask per Craigh

Michael (Talwin): Sidles up and sits at the (table? Booth?)

TMO (Fives): table

Talwin: Gently taps a finger on Fives shoulder

Talwin: Gently taps a finger on Fives shoulder

TMO (Fives): he's got his head resting on his forearms. Wearing leather armor and a horned helmet.

Talwin: "Mister Fives, we'd like to speak with you for a moment. Are you alright? You seem to have passed out at this establishment"

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, Bixi should have gone, she's good at questions

Michael (Talwin): (Yes she is)

BOB Bixi can be there

Fives: He jolts awake. "Say what? I have not 'passed out'! I was jest resting my eyes."

Michael (Talwin): (Oh god. I take it bacvk!)

BOB a priest could be helpful

Talwin: Resting your eyes?

Talwin: OK. Can we spare a moment of your time?

Fives: It's called 'sleep', maybe you've heard of it?

Talwin: passes an ale

Fives: He takes the ale.

Lorie (Licornah): (sorry back)

Fives: My time is yours!

Talwin: Gestures to Craigh

Talwin: We were told you may have some useful informaiton for us.

Indigo: We're going to hell soon and we heard you know about devils

Fives: Perhaps, perhaps not. Have a seat, pull up a bench, squat on the floor, whatever you like.

Talwin: I'll just keep...sitting if that's alright

Indigo: sits

Fives: Ah, devils...

Fives: he looks around at the other people in the tavern.

Fives: he looks around at the other people in the tavern.

Howard Plum: pulls up a chair

Fives: You wanna talk in public or prefer private?

Talwin: Does it matter to you?

Fives: Abso-damn-lutely not!

Shislif (Zayden): hi sorry i'm back, had to move some furniture around lol

Indigo: This is fine

Talwin: Indigo? Do you want privacy for this conversation?

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: Okay then

Shislif (Zayden): still doing devil stuff?

Fives: takes a drink

TMO (Fives): yep

Fives: What can I do you for?

Indigo: Like I said, we're going to hell soon and we heard you might know stuff about devils that could help us

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Up to the guys, if they want me around. I'm fine sitting out though, eating my dinner now irl

Fives: He nods.

Talwin: Frankly, anythign you think is important, we take to heart

Fives: I do, yessir.

BOB I think Bixi should be there just in case

Lisa (Indigo): in case of what?

Carissa (Raelynn): (ominous)

TMO (Fives): that's not ominous at all Bob

Michael (Talwin): Bixi can be here, I was just giving carissa a hard time

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well, I'm going to take the hint this time, since I didn't with the barrister

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

Michael (Talwin): Oh we all saw this coming come on

Carissa (Raelynn): (oh I missed it if you did, lol)

Indigo: So what do you know?

Michael (Talwin): Probably going to fight a demon thanks to this guy or something that will be useful with a priest. Nothing suprises me when it comes to monsters in this game anymore

BOB carry on

Fives: Well then, what's your reason for heading to Hell? Besides being bad when you was a kid?

Indigo: We have to return a book

Fives: That's one I ain't heard yet.

BOB Librarians can be .....

Talwin: Never piss off an archivist

Talwin: Let me tell you

Indigo: So you can't help us?

Fives: Of course I can.

Indigo: How?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok Draco, tell us what you know.

Fives: Well, first off, lotta devils can't be hurt by normal weapons. You ready fr that?

Michael (Talwin): So Silver or Magical?

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks at Talwin

Indigo: Yes Branwyn said we needed magic weapons

Talwin: So Silver or Magical?

Fives: Magic's best

Indigo: We know that

Fives: Silver is more a werewolf thing.

Fives: Good. Then you're not hayseeds.

Fives: You ready for the heat too? Obvious thing, but folks tend to overlook it.

Fives: Wait, actually, you know which layer you're going to?

Talwin: Specific protections you might recommend? Earmuffs for pandamoniom was a good idea, but any specific recommendations?

Indigo: I figured there'd be lava

Talwin: We won't be doing Pandamonium

Talwin: We just like to prepare for this shit

Talwin: So heat protection

Fives: Pandemonium ain't in Hell anyways.

Talwin: Close enough

Bixi Fizzlebang: Do you have recommendations for heat protection?

Talwin: Deadpanned

Fives: It's right there in the name. "Demon"

Indigo: Not sure. Branwyn needs to get the book back. I think it has his name in it so we would look for that guy

Fives: Well, I'd figure out right quick which layer your librarian is on, because at least one layer of Hell is solid Ice.

Fives: Be a shame to show up in your beach shorts and freeze to death.

Talwin: Sighs. Of course it is

Indigo: I don't think it's a librarian

Shislif (Zayden): layers is key

Indigo: laughs

BOB quote

Bixi Fizzlebang: We know what kind of hounds come after it, no? Would that be a clue?

Indigo: Huh?

Fives: Could be, could be. Fill me in, miss.

Talwin: Hugh actually dissected a few of them

Talwin: Left notes in his book

Talwin: Before my time

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't know really... but I've heard that occasionally a visitor comes after the book

Indigo: Oh that's the hunt

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe we could figure out what layer they're from?

Indigo: Branwyn got marked by the book for a hunt. The book belongs to a devil so I think and they send demon like creatures as part of it

Indigo: The book doesn't belong to a hellhound

Fives: Maybe so. Your more common devils come from almost all of them. Easiest thing would be to elimiinate the ice layer.

Bixi Fizzlebang: But I mean... if it's not ice monsters coming after it?

Fives: Devils wouldn't send demons

Fives: Two completely different grade of being.

Talwin: We seem to not have the right questions to ask it would seem. What do you think we are dealing with from what we've told you

Fives: He shrugs.

Talwin: Never heard of demons chasing down someone to recover lost property

Fives: Best guess, a devil wants his book back. Ever thought about just letting the hounds take it?

Talwin: Chuckles

Talwin: I mean

Talwin: Looks at Indigo

Talwin: Did you ever try that?

Indigo: Wait

Indigo: thinking

Indigo: Jennevive thought this. I suspect that a demon has been sent to hell for a reason and he is trying to get out. He needs his book that is here in the library. We will need to find the reason he is in Hell, where in Hell he is, and how or if we should return his book.

Fives: He leans forward.

Indigo: So there's a demon in hell we need to find.

Fives: A demon, trapped in Hell?

Bixi Fizzlebang: And probably how to stop the hunt, if we don't give the book back

Fives: Wonder why they didn't just kill it?

Indigo: She thought all the hellhounds and imps and stuff so those might be welcome advances to a Devil. Gifts so to speak

Talwin: Shrugs

BOB demons = chaos devils = lawful

Talwin: Punishment?

Fives: Devils're tricky. Well, demons are too, but they're two different kinds.

BOB Archivists = orderly

Indigo: Maybe they all want the book

Fives: "The devil's in the details." Remember that. The big ones like to make deals, and they will abso-damn-lutely screw you on every point they can.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I've read a lot of books about interdimensional books this year. What's up with this trend?

TMO (Fives): You notice, by the way, that there's now a clearing two tables deep where no one is sitting.

Bixi Fizzlebang: We should have kept the barrister

BOB I will say that back in 2017 when I started this story arc idea I never dreamed the real world would catch up to this idea

BOB points to Lemon - Quote

TMO (Fives): it's all Bill Murray's fault!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Invisible people?

Indigo: I don't want to make a deal

TMO (Fives): they've all moved away

Indigo: We just want to give the book back

Talwin: Speaking of deals...

Fives: So whatever you do with this book, make sure you don't put yourself into the devil's debt to do it.

Talwin: Taps indigo once on the shoulder

Indigo: But knowing us, we find the demon in hell and we have to rescue him or something

Talwin: Gestures to the room

Indigo: looks around

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 7]

Indigo: Okay

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 17]

Barkeep: The barkeep comes over with small cups of ale for everyone.

BOB acknowledges Lisa's perception of story arc fifullment

Bixi Fizzlebang: Have you been there before, Fives?

Indigo: So if Branwyn gets the book and comes back here, would you look at it with her?

Barkeep: One for the road, gents, against the rain, before you head out?

Indigo: Yes please

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, sure are getting kicked out, aren't we

Indigo: to the barkeep

Talwin: No thank you, but appreciate your hospitality this fine evening

Talwin: We are grateful for your tolerance

Barkeep: He puts the small cups down in front of each of you, rubs his hands nervously together, nods and walks away.

Talwin: Pushes cup to fives

Lisa (Indigo): was Bixi supposed to be doing alignment checks or something

Fives: I'd love to look at that book. I'd like to start a collection of my own, actually.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If this guy doesn't say "Fives Out" when he leaves a room, I"m going to be so disappointed

Talwin: Tomorrow perhaps? We cna meet in more private accompodations and have a meal prepared for you

Indigo: No you don't get to keep it

Talwin: Chuckles

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh! I've never done that! Is it something that can be done discreetly?

Talwin: The book is far beyond any of our mortal reaches

Talwin: We simply serve as information gatherers

Fives: If you say so.

TMO (Fives): lol for Lemon, btw

Indigo: Okay I'll see if she wants to see you

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Could we take this guy with us to be a guide?

Fives: As I said, my time is yours. Where y'all from?

Indigo: Have you heard of Branwyn the Mysterious?

Lisa (Indigo): that is why yopu would want to check him

TMO (Fives): Bob - would he have?

Michael (Talwin): (See if he's a decent person or complete "devil" himself)

BOB No

Bixi Fizzlebang: Fives, before we get any further, is there anything I can do for you? How are you feeling? Need healing or anything?

Fives: Well, thank you for the offer, miss, but I believe I'm feeling alright.

Fives: to Indigo, "Can't say as I have, sorry."

-> Bixi Fizzlebang: The reverse of Undetectable Alignment is Detect

Lorie (Licornah): (Sorry was AFK did everyone go or is this a separate group discussing with Fives?)

Howard Plum: Bixi asked if you'd been to hell but you didn't answer

BOB Yes to a separate group went off to talk to this Fives person

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can't find it. All I see is "detect good" "detect evil" "detect magic" "detect snares and pits"

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): "know alignment"?

Fives: Well shucks, I'm very sorry. I guess I missed that question. The short answer is 'No'.

BOB That would work Lemon

Bixi Fizzlebang: Know Alignment

Indigo: Then how do you know so much about it?

BOB TMO

Lisa (Indigo): laggy for me

TMO (Fives): How precise is that? do I give general answers, or straight up alignments?

BOB we will finish this conversation and then I will restart

BOB you would whisper the exact info to Bixi

Lisa (Indigo): talking while you are casting so it isn't that obvious - hopefully :)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Fives isn't on the combat tracker, how do?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi Fizzlebang cast a spell NOT memorized.

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Know Alignment

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SAVE VS] Know Alignment

Fives -> Bixi Fizzlebang: first: is this working?

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Fives: yes

BOB Yeap

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi Fizzlebang cast a spell NOT memorized.

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Know Alignment

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SAVE VS] Know Alignment

Fives -> Bixi Fizzlebang: He is neutral, but because good and evil are both in him, not because he's apathetic

BOB also for Bixi if I was a paranoid person and the bartender gave me free drinks I might detect poison also

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi Fizzlebang cast a spell NOT memorized.

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Detect Poison

BOB But TMO is in charge of that NPC so take that with a grain of salt

TMO (Fives): bwahahah

Lisa (Indigo): talwin paid him a huge amount I would hope we get free drinks

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's almost night time, I'm good with using that spell just in case lol

Michael (Talwin): (It's why I didn't drink the last bunch)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Indigo, could I talk to you privately for a second?

Michael (Talwin): (I pushed it to fives)

Michael (Talwin): :)

Fives: to Indigo: "Personal interest, I've studied it a lot."

Bixi Fizzlebang: winks at Fives (to make it seem less suspicious?)

Indigo: okay. I'll be back in a second

Michael (Talwin): (Also, this is why you tip the waitstaff! Bob, it's so they don't spit in your food!)

Fives: He nods and takes another drinkn.

Indigo: gets up to talk to Bixi

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Indigo: I'm detecting both good AND evil in this guy. Haven't experienced that before, I'm not sure what it means, but wanted you to know in case we try to make a deal with him

Fives: to Talwin: "How about you, sir knight, any more questions for me?"

Indigo: That's weird

Talwin: What Indigo

Talwin: Gaurded expression

Fives: He looks at Howard, "I haven't pegged you yet. You got any questions for me, sir?"

Indigo: I don't think we should make a deal. I think we should tell Branwyn and she can find him if she wants

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's all I got for Indigo, we can go back to the table now. Wanted to make sure he wouldn't overhear

Talwin: Smirks

Talwin: Smirks

Talwin: I think that sounds like a fine idea

Indigo -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Okay. Thanks for telling me

Talwin: Mister Fives. It has been a pleasure

Lisa (Howard Plum): sorry - haven't done the shisper thing before

Fives: That's it? A few rounds, a half dozen questions, and you're through?

Howard Plum: Have you worked for a devil before?

Fives: 'For'? No.

Howard Plum: Made yourself a deal with one?

Talwin: HOw about, Are you one?

BOB Have you worn a blue dress?

Howard Plum: You just seem to know more than most readers would

Fives: No deals, not really. A few questions here and there, a little blood here and there.

Howard Plum: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 14]

Michael (Talwin): (Did bixi get a read on the guy yet?)

Fives: It's a personal thing of mine.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bloodshed or blood pact?

Michael (Talwin): (My radar is off the charts and I want to leave)

Michael (Talwin): (Like yesterday)

Howard Plum: You gave your blood to a devil?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I whispered it to Indigo

Fives: Oh, no sir.

BOB Talwin has a Golden Earring

Fives: Took a bit from one once or twice though.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): He's good AND evil. So very helpful read.

Michael (Talwin): (I have no idea what that is)

Michael (Talwin): (Or what you are referring to bob)

Michael (Talwin): (Sorry)

Howard Plum: You took blood from a devil ...

Fives: Fortunately they're rare, don't coe here too often.

Talwin: Also don't see it on my inventory

Michael (Talwin): Also don't see it on my inventory

BOB Radar Love by Golden Earing

Fives: With a sword, fella. With a sword.

Michael (Talwin): Oh. LOL

Michael (Talwin): Now I feel stupid

Michael (Talwin): haha

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, I didn't get it either

Fives: Sorry, I was trying to be clever with my words.

BOB Did you get the blue dress?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That one yes

TMO (Fives): Devil with a blue dress?

Lorie (Licornah): (I am getting your song references BOB)

Howard Plum: Where did you get into a sword fight with a devil?

BOB smiles

Fives: Well, like I said, they're rare, but they *do* come here sometimes. And I'm a hired hand. I was hired to take care of a problem, and I did.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Maybe Licornah will want to visit some temples tomorrow to see if she can find out about the rain? She seems to enjoy the temples? Wouldn't be unusual for her?

Talwin: Murmers to Indigo "Pull the plug. We're leaving"

Talwin: Now

Indigo: Devils come into this ... this establishment on occasion?

Indigo: I find this hard to believe

Bixi Fizzlebang: Mister Fives, if we wanted to contact a gentleman such as yourself in the future... what would be a good way of doing so?

Fives: Same way you did tonight. Find me wherever I am. I don't have an office.

Howard Plum: Okay. I think we're going to leave now.

Fives: to Indigo: "No sir, not here. This is just a tavern. An unnamed noble family had a black sheep in it who made an unwise friend."

-> Howard Plum: Howard would know if he has a piece of something from him it will be easier to locate him with the crystal ball, etc.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Thank you for sharing your information with us

Howard Plum: May we have a token to aid us in finding you?

Fives: All I did was a few easy answers, and I got some ale out of it. And kicked out of my tavern too, by the looks of it.

Fives: He looks suspiciously at Howard.

Howard Plum: It would lessen the need for questions

Fives: What kind of 'token' you wanting?

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks at Talwin. "Hopefully it was worth it, for him to get kicked out of his tavern."

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bribe him so we can find him again later!

Howard Plum: Nothing of great value. Just something that belongs to you

Howard Plum: a handkerchief?

Lisa (Howard Plum): sock

Fives: He is looking at Howard very suspiciously now.

-> Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi knows if you have something from his body you can do magic with it

Howard Plum: That is fine. We can always ask for you on the street

Fives: I'm willing to trade tokens. You give me something, I'll give you.

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks at Talwin again

Howard Plum: I always carry a handkerchief

Talwin: Shakes head

Howard Plum: hands him a handkerchief

Talwin: Sighs

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You should have offered him money so he couldn't come after Howard!

Howard Plum: Your turn

Fives: 'kay. You try any sendings against me, and I'll make sure you regret it. Messages only, understood?

Howard Plum: Of course

Talwin: Why on gods earth would we do that for someone we needed advice from?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Also I'm picking up small rocks.

BOB Yes to Bixi

Lisa (Howard Plum): what is he getting?

BOB Really should have taken Geology and not Botany

Talwin: I imagine the same rule applies backwards Mister Fives?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And I want to go to a shop with whatever this world's equivalent of a sharpie is so I can label all my rocks.

Lisa (Howard Plum): sometimes you just have to trust people

Fives: He takes off a bracelet, it has some good luck and basic protection glyphs carved into it (not actually magical) and hands it to you.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, maybe I'll take it up one day

Howard Plum: Thank you

Talwin: Mister Fives? Only messages and not "sendings" correct? For HOward as well?

Fives: My word is my honor, sir knight. No harm shall come to you from me unasked for.

Howard Plum: Branwyn will return it to you when she finds you again

Talwin: Bows

Bixi Fizzlebang: Can I give you an aura of comfort to ease your way home, Fives?

Fives: Y'all take care now!

Fives: Thank you miss, that's very kind.

Howard Plum: You as well. Good evening

Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi Fizzlebang cast a spell NOT memorized.

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Aura of Comfort

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SAVE VS] Aura of Comfort

Bixi Fizzlebang: A little break from the rain, if nothing else

Bixi Fizzlebang: looks at Talwin again

Fives: I'll take it.

Michael (Talwin): (Yeah, I'll be an asshole all day long when stuff gets a bit too shady. I've worked in rough areas, and trusting people get you shanked)

TMO (Fives): lol

BOB chuckles

Michael (Talwin): (I have the hostpital bill to prove it)

BOB and you head back to the Palazzo

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You need to be nice to him in case we need him later!

Bixi Fizzlebang: You need to be nice to him in case we need him later!

Talwin: Talwin relieves Yout from Ship Duty

BOB Talwin to the Knarr and Youtargim comes back to the Palazzo

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): After we're out of earshot, to Talwin

BOB go for it Lemon

Bixi Fizzlebang: I just did

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

Talwin: I was perfectly nice. I even paid for a drink. I said nothing insulting to him at all

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, but he was clearly looking for some cash, mister moneybags

Bixi Fizzlebang: And maybe Howard wouldn't have had to give up his perfectly nice handkerchief

Bixi Fizzlebang: Where's he going to sneeze now?

BOB Quote

Talwin: You think I wanted howard to give that up? He's more trusting than I am

Bixi Fizzlebang: That's why I kept trying to get you to give him some cash!

Fives -> Bixi Fizzlebang: I will add mstly Lawful to that alignment, btw. He will try to keep his word.

Talwin: Then just straight up say it next time!

Talwin: I didn't even think about it. I was more worried about his focus on the damn book

Bixi Fizzlebang: WHY DID YOU THINK I KEPT STARING AT YOU?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I can assure you it's not your good looks

Talwin: BECAUSE YOU LIKE TO ANNOY ME

Bixi Fizzlebang: WHAT!

Talwin: I IGNORE YOU WHEN YOU STARE AT ME

Bixi Fizzlebang: rolls eyes

Talwin: Pats shoulder

Talwin: But I wouldn't have it any other way

Talwin: Smiles

Talwin: I'll see if I can't find him tomorrow

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well anyway, I did get a reading on him. Mostly lawful, but full of good AND evil. I think he'll try to keep his word but... who knows

BOB Enemies to lovers

Talwin: Nope

Talwin: Nope

Michael (Talwin): Nope

Michael (Talwin): there we go

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, if Talwin is going to be lovers with one of my characters, it's going to be the sword

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi isn't interested. The sword is.

TMO (Craigh): I thought he already was

Lisa (Indigo): lawful is good

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Michael (Talwin): But not the other part

Michael (Talwin): That's what worries me

Michael (Talwin): Maybe he's posssessed?

Michael (Talwin): Which would give the dual readign?

BOB In any case

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not terribly experienced with these things... never had such shady dealings back home, so I can't really say

BOB Thank you TMO

Lisa (Indigo): yes thanks TMO :)

TMO (Craigh): twas interesting. we'll see what comes of it

BOB See Lemon! Lovers from.....

Michael (Talwin): Thanks fgor making me effeing paranoid TMO LOL

BOB grins

TMO (Craigh): maybe nothing, maybe something fun

TMO (Craigh): you are quite welcome!

BOB and now everyone is back at the Palazo

BOB 7 bedrooms

Bixi Fizzlebang: (LINK)

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKjZuykKY1I">(LINK)</a>

Carissa (Raelynn): glad you're finding things to tickle your fancy either way, TMO

Bixi Fizzlebang: Thanks for taking care of Knotty, Yout.

Craigh: my fancy has been truly tickled

Zayden: Hey guys how did your dance with the devil go? Any pale moonlight?

TMO (Craigh): my fancy has been truly tickled

Zayden: I been watching the rain, it's been great

Craigh: Can't see the moon. Too many clouds.

BOB Indigo, Howard, Craigh, Licornah, Bixi, Zayden, Thistle, Rae ...... and Youtargim

Indigo: Youtargim, you did some great steering on the knarr during the pirate fight. Thanks for that

Zayden: And yet, the moon is still there, isn't that nice?

Lisa (Indigo): both of them even

Craigh: True, true. I hope.

Bixi Fizzlebang: We didn't get poisioned, so there's that at least

Zayden: Always something to be grateful for

Youtargim: Thank you Indigo

Craigh: The moons haven't ever been a big thing where I grew up. Couldn't ever see more than a dim glow of them.

Zayden: Huh, that sounds... interesting

Craigh: Deep Mist.

Zayden: Get much sunshine?

Craigh: Nope.

Thistle: How deep?

Youtargim: It must be hard to navigate with so few stars and little moonshine

Zayden: Does sound and noise travel different across the Mist?

Craigh: Best to stick to the roads down there if you don't know where you're going. And yes, it muffles or distorts it a bit sometimes, especially when the wind is blowing.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh there was plenty of moonshine... Gerry had a nice batch, if I recall. Although that wasn't technically in the mist

Lorie (Licornah): (stick to the lakes and the rivers you know)

BOB Nice Lorie

TMO (Craigh): indeed

Youtargim: Bixi I need to drink with you more

Zayden eyes Yout

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ah, well, you know, trying to keep my head clear these days.

Craigh: But, as they say, there's no place like home.

Lorie (Licornah): (streams, but meh)

Youtargim: This is a nice place you picked to stay

Bixi Fizzlebang: actively seeking out excuses to NOT drink with Yout

Raelynn: Talwin insisted on somewhere nice for tonight.

Youtargim: You deserve it

Youtargim: we deserve it

Bixi Fizzlebang: And then he ended up on the ship

Youtargim: Chuckles

Craigh: Which is why he's out there on the boat.

Craigh: Alone.

Raelynn: shrugs

Craigh: I think that was his plan the whole time.

Raelynn: He has to find better ways to handle his guilt.

Youtargim: He has knotty

Raelynn: There are guards there.

Youtargim: Knotty was grumbling

Michael (Talwin): (Guilt! Over WHAT???)

Youtargim: He has been in the hold quite a while

Bixi Fizzlebang: Knotty is good company

Youtargim: not that I understand him

Youtargim: just loud rumbling noises

Youtargim: That is why I had them clean the hold out

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yes, I'd like to be able to get him some time outside to stretch his legs and get some fresh air

Carissa (Raelynn): (she figured how much you paid for the rooms but NOW I wanna know what guilt you're thinking, lol)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes, I'd like to be able to get him some time outside to stretch his legs and get some fresh air

TMO (Craigh): I am over here laughing at the outrage over the ether waves

Youtargim: had to explain that to the guard

Bixi Fizzlebang: Just not sure when I'll have an opportunity

Licornah: :: glances at Bixi :: I could try to chat with him

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, that would be so nice, Licornah, thank you!

Thistle: Shi says they stopped often with the wolves to let them run around. We haven't really done that with Knotty. Not sure how much runnin' and huntin' he needs in comparison.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I just don't want to get him into a situation where he could be harmed

Craigh: Or wind up as someone's dinner.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, I doubt he needs as much as wolves, but it must be hard to be stuck down there for so long

Points to Criagh

Bixi Fizzlebang: Exactly, Craigh

Craigh: Anybody got an illusion spell that can make him look like a large dog?

Thistle: Well if it's somethin' that can take down him, we'd have to worry about it, too. Unless it's a human. Maybe.

Youtargim: And a smell spell?

Craigh: I only can change my own looks, not someone else's.

Raelynn: Mmm I can hide tracks for people. I've never tried it on animals, but it stops smells and footprints.

Michael (Talwin): (Secretly, Talwin is loving having an entire ship to himself)

Michael (Talwin): (Dancing to music in his head)

Carissa (Raelynn): (not to yourself -you got a boar, too)

TMO (Craigh): lol

Michael (Talwin): (Pretend Partiying)

TMO (Craigh): it's a boar boat!

BOB Dancing with myself

Michael (Talwin): Puts a party hat on the boar dn prisoner

Bixi Fizzlebang: I can make him look like another animal, like a dog, but it would only be believable to other dogs

Michael (Talwin): Dance DANCE DANCE

TMO (Craigh): boy, is that prisoner going to have some tales to tell

Licornah: :: stands to go talk to Knotty ::

BOB so back to the subject at hand

Craigh: Can you make him look like a guard to the guards?

BOB Did you want to go tonight Licornah and Bixi? or wait till morning

The time is 4:00 PM

The time is 7:00 PM

Bixi Fizzlebang: Can we get there and back at night safely?

BOB At this point, we don't know

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hmmm...

Zayden: hmmm

Bixi Fizzlebang: You know Craigh, I just might be able to do that. He wouldn't be able to talk to anyone though...

Licornah: (this is just around the corner right)

BOB No to Lorie you decided to stay farther away from the docks in a nice neighborhood, you rented a palazo

BOB is about a half hour walk to the docks area in the rain in the dark

Bixi Fizzlebang: And it only lasts for a few hours...

BOB then you need to hire a skiff to get out to the knarr

Zayden hums; oPalazoooooo

BOB You can easily in the morning

Craigh: Might be best to just go in the morning, if it's that much trouble.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, and he's got Talwin to keep him entertained tonight

The time is 10:00 PM

Bixi Fizzlebang: Even if just by annoying him

Craigh: Can knotty play checkers?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean, that entertains me

BOB so sleep?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not sure. I never asked him what else he learned at the circus. Figured if he wanted to show us, he would

TMO (Craigh): Your eyes are getting sleepy....

Bixi Fizzlebang: But maybe he just hasn't had a checkerboard around

Zayden: Quite a day eh quite a day

Bixi Fizzlebang: yawns

BOB The conversation that Zayden had with Akilah is on the site

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sleep sounds good both in game and irl, lol

BOB about the work detail groups from the prison

Shislif (Zayden): lol

BOB and HAH Lemon

BOB we are only 9 hours in

BOB still 3 to go

Shislif (Zayden): Did Akilah scout the locations while I was away?

BOB grins

BOB She did scout some things as you went through the city yes

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I'm about to get some coffee lol

BOB from the list that you stole

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The meal helped wake me up a little, but now I'm fading again

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol more lists

TMO (Craigh): no sleep for you!

Shislif (Zayden): nice

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I hope while we're all sleeping, Talwin is leaving lists all over the ship

BOB pointing out that Zayden pickpocketed a prison guard and got the schedule for cleaning bridges over the next couple of days

TMO (Craigh): I'm going to splurge on a dessert, if I have a few minutes. be back soon

BOB and which prisoners are on each detail

TMO (Craigh): nice!

User has gone AFK. (TMO)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nice, good job Zayden!

Shislif (Zayden): Pickpocket for the win!

BOB But you did not know which prisoners you were looking for when he did that

BOB hint hint

Shislif (Zayden): it was good cause I failed everything else lol

The time is 6:00 AM

Shislif (Zayden): so we gotta check the prisoners I guess

BOB In the morning

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Are we having a break to restart or no?

BOB Now everyone is fresh and ready

BOB Yes

BOB Closing this down

TMO (Craigh): aieee! GM hints! run away!!

BOB will be right back up

User has gone AFK. (TMO)

Lorie (Licornah): I'm here...

Licornah: I'm waiting for everyone else

Carissa: yes

TMO: i had no issues

BOB There we go

Carissa: been here

Carissa: Lemon was grabbing coffee

Shislif (Zayden): Zay is using the bahthroom freshening up

BOB so only Lis and Lemon

BOB It is the morning

BOB Licornah and Bixi going to the knarr for Knotty and then somewhere

BOB the rest are doing what?

TMO: btw. Craigh will offer to switch rooms secretly with Raelynn if she's worried about Yout

Carissa: Rae to the temple

Carissa: About Yout what...?

Carissa: She doesn't have her own room?

BOB One hint, you are at the Palazo you got this place with their agent ie Barrister

BOB 7 rooms for 9 people

Michael (Talwin): (So we can ask the barristar if he works on commission?)

Carissa: She can share with Thistle for now :P

TMO: obviously she's not as worried about Yout as the more paranoid Craigh is. ;)

Carissa: Yes suppose we should speak with him first

Carissa: lol it depends on what your worry is

'Lemon' connected

TMO: that he might sneak in in the middle of the night.

TMO: be a fun surprise for him to find Craigh instead

Carissa: LOL

Carissa: on one hand, she believes he's learned to be more proper by now, but on the other hand that would be hilarious so...

Carissa: she might agree to it just in case she's wrong about him

TMO: OOC I'm sure we don't have anything to worry about. But we know it's a game.

Carissa: lol agree

Zayden: So what's the plan for today gang?

BOB Until you wake up with Fives in your bed

Zayden: We have any breakfast?

TMO: don't give me any ideas Bob!

Carissa: It'd be more him knocking on the door and pretending to not be able to sleep or some such

Lemon: Fives looks like Draco Malfoy

BOB The staff has a nice simple breakfast on the sideboards for you

Carissa: I feel like everyone looks like Draco to you lately...

TMO: He kinda does, doesn't he? Hadn't noticed

Zayden: Ohhh a nice simple breakfast! My favorite

Lemon: Just blond pale men with their hair parted down the middle

Lemon: Or on the side

Lemon: Whatever

Lemon: Parted in a draco way

BOB The rain just drizzling away

Zayden: This is quite good porridge, a little runnier than i'm used to but still quite good, and these eggs are lovely really. Is there any bacon?

BOB Bacon, that is what Bixi and Licornah are off to get

Carissa: hopefully not the guy

Shislif (Zayden): dark :)

Zayden: So who are these people we're try free from the prison system?

Zayden: Akilah and I got the cleaning crew list but we have no idea who we're looking for

Zayden: But if the people we're looking for are on the cleaning crew, that could come in handy, like an opportunity type of situation

BOB so I do think you can solve this today. You just need to find a way to get the three gyspies out of prison, find out how to stop the rain, and then get Jade and Sapphire to choose who will be the Wisewoman

BOB Easy to do in the next three hours

Carissa: and with a clear head, yep

Shislif (Zayden): hopefully after we help the gypsies excape they will help us end the rain situation

BOB Zayden and Akilah have the list of people, but do not know who they are

BOB Thistle, Rae and others who remember (missing Lisa for now) can help with the names of the missing Gypsies

Zayden: Without being rude or anything, is anybody taking the lead on this project?

BOB and Licornah with Bixi are visiting Knotty then going to Greek Temples to see about the rain

BOB so I do think you can solve this today. You just need to find a way to get the three gyspies out of prison, find out how to stop the rain, and then get Jade and Sapphire to choose who will be the Wisewoman

Shislif (Zayden): sounds good

'Lisa' connected

BOB so as Sharif says, who is taking the lead on which things?

BOB Welcome back Lisa

BOB and Sharif you can take the lead on some too

Shislif (Zayden): oh ok, well scouting the locations

BOB You did so some scouting yesterday

BOB You need help with the names on the list

Shislif (Zayden): oh right, soI guess next step is to get the names?

TMO: *grumble* they never mix the flavors all the way through these malts. You get to the bottom and it's just plain vanilla ice cream, no flavors.

TMO: we have 4 names

Zayden: 4 names? I thought we were looking for 3?

BOB a girl has no name

Zayden: if we're lucky, maybe those names are on cleanup duty

TMO: Indigo, Woundwart, Cast

Zayden: Another Indigo?

BOB LOL I do love that

BOB Someone will have to count the number of times that line is uttered in chat today

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Shislif (Zayden): so can compare those names against the list?

TMO: oh, and a person from Helow Clan. when i first read, I thought the person's name was Helow.

BOB and yes to Zayden those three names are on the list

Zayden: Well how about that

BOB One of those three is from the Helow Clan TMO you just did not find out which one

Lisa: sign us up for 2 more days at the docks?

BOB This is day two right now

Zayden: Who's good at breaking people out of places?

Lisa: why I asked

BOB you can sign on for more if you like

Lisa: need at least 1 more I think

BOB Bixi and Licornah can do that for you when they visit the knarr

Craigh: I don't suppose that list has the guards' names on it, does it?

BOB No the list is of prisoners assigned to which cleaning gang

BOB and which bridges each gang is assigned to

Craigh: Are all three of ours on the same gang?

BOB no

BOB Not going to make it that easy

Craigh: well, that would have been easy

Shislif (Zayden): Are all three in the same cleaning gang?

Shislif (Zayden): oh lol nvm

BOB grins

Zayden: so we'll have to split up into groups

Zayden: are they all on at the same time or at different times?

Craigh: Well, anyways, I can change my appearance, corner a guard, and bribe him into letting one of "them gypsies" into my care for a job, and they won't be heard from again, if he knows what I mean.

Craigh: I'm assuming the gypsies are as unpopular with all the people as we've seen so far.

Zayden: I could try using some persuasion or fast talking, what's a good con?

Lemon: I'm not especially interested in going to the temples, but I think Rae likes temples

Craigh: Are they on 3 different gangs?

BOB two in one and one in anoher

Lisa: thought the temples were for possible rain removal activities :)

Craigh: We could split into 2 groups, one for each gang, and each gang go about it their own way?

Craigh: 3 groups, gang, gang, temple

Zayden: seems like a good way to go about it

BOB Sharif take charge

BOB who goes where

Lisa: tonight party splits are a good idea. Who knew? :)

Shislif (Zayden): fine

BOB grins with Lisa

Craigh: at least we're not running through a giants' keep's basement

Michael (Talwin): I kinda want to go to the Temple because I'm still not really comfortable iwth prison break?

TMO (Craigh): coward! :)

Zayden: Craigh you feel good about going for the single or the double?

Michael (Talwin): Guilty as Charged :)

Craigh: I could probably handle the double if you'd rather the single.

Zayden: I don't mind that sounds good to me

Lisa: and sorry I was late - had to ice and easier to lie down for the 20 min

Zayden: So Craigh takes the lead with the double, I'll lead on the single, who wants to come with us?

BOB You need to be careful Lisa everyone needs to rest, stretch, eat, etc.

TMO (Craigh): definitely!

Shislif (Zayden): It's true!

BOB Zayden is on group 1 Criagh is on group 2 Licornah is on group 3

BOB and Sharif can help fill out the rest

Lisa: Talwin is gorup 3

BOB Talwin to group 3

Zayden: Craigh I forget are you good at fighting? In case it comes to that?

Lemon: Do we want to do the temple thing right away, or worry about the prisoners first?

Craigh: Not particularly. I have a delicate build.

Zayden: Same here

BOB It will all happen at the same time Lemon

Zayden: It'd be nice if we could each get a fighter of some sort, that an option?

BOB like the investigations did yesterday

Craigh: For my plan I should have someone tough looking along.

Lisa (Howard Plum): Indigo can go on one team and Howard the other

Zayden: Tal and Rae you guys are on group 3?

Carissa (Thistle): (not sure what's going on but sure)

BOB Talwin is

Craigh: Probably not Indigo on mine. Halfling's are too rare.

Zayden: Which group is the other Indigo on?

Lemon: Well, I guess if it's between prison break and temples, I'll take the temples

Craigh: I can hire someone from Ganjier if I need to.

Zayden: That may be a good call

BOB So Zayden, Indigo on group 1 Craigh, Howard on group 2 Licornah Rae and Talwin group 3

BOB leaves Thistle

Lisa (Howard Plum): so Indigo with Zayden and Howard with Craigh?

Zayden: But anyway, that's a backup if plan A doesn't work, ideally without violence

BOB and Youtargim

Michael (Talwin): I apologize, I need to step a way for a moment. Give me ten

Zayden: This and Yout you guys have any preference?

BOB but Youtargim might be on the knarr with Talwin back

Carissa (Thistle): (I admit I'm lost; put whoever where they're best suited)

Craigh: Ooh, I got Howard! That expands my options a lot. What spells did you prepare today?

Zayden: Nevermind Yout

Lemon: Wait, Talwin is going to the temples?

BOB Ys

BOB yes

BOB that leaves only Bixi unasigned

Zayden: Thistle do you have any preference between our two groups here?

Howard Plum: I have an alarm spell and detect magic and missiles and dimension door and my glitter and some irritation spells

Craigh: Come, Sir Mage, let us Plot and Scheme.

Lemon: Well prison break sounds scary I don't want to do that

Carissa (Thistle): (...what's the difference between them?)

Shislif (Zayden): prison breaks are fun!

Howard Plum: I think I have some good distraction spells today

Shislif (Zayden): Oceans 11 style

BOB Zaden and Indigo on one group Craigh and Howard on the other

BOB need to assign Bixi to one and Thistle to the other

Shislif (Zayden): just going to different places for the same purpose, one to escape 2 ppl the other to escape 1 person

Lemon: I guess I'll go with Zayden, he seems to like Bixi

Carissa (Thistle): (wherever you think is best)

Craigh: How's your acting ability?

BOB I can see Zayden pumping his hand with that

Carissa (Thistle): (sorry, just barely hanging on here)

Howard Plum: I ... have not really tried

Zayden thinks to himself "First rule of heists, never fall in love"

Zayden: Pretty good!

BOB So up first to help Carissa along, is Craigh, Howard and Thistle

TMO (Craigh): I'm not sure what's going on in that other team...

Lisa (Howard Plum): bixi can illusion a distraction maybe - depending on strategy

Carissa (Thistle): thanks

BOB group two is off to try to catch the group with two gypsies on it

Shislif (Zayden): that could be helpful

Shislif (Zayden): we starting with group 2?

Craigh: Thistle, think you could pick any shackles they have on them if Howard distracts the guards with glitter and irritation?

BOB Zayden, Indigo and Bixi can whisper to each other for planning

Shislif (Zayden): can we do a 3 person whisper?

Lemon: Can you do group whispers? Otherwise that seems difficult

BOB no to lemon and yes it might be

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Thistle: Ummm.... I can try, but it's not my forte.

Craigh: can we edit story pages? if so, open them a story page

Craigh: ooc

Carissa (Thistle): (oh 30% chance is slightly better)

TMO (Craigh): mine is only 15

BOB (LINK)

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

BOB Group two is heading to Ponte Sesto Punto

Zayden -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Hi Bix what's the fix?!

Craigh: So, picking locks isn't option 1. No worries.

Thistle: nods

Howard Plum: If they are very simple locks I can try to cantrip them free

Shislif (Zayden): there's one person I can't click on because there's a "Fantasy Eats" icon thingy I can't seem to move, I'm not sure if that's Indigo or not

Craigh: Oh, good thinking!

Howard Plum: But it is also not assured

Carissa (Thistle): you can right click it and close it Sharif

Lisa (Howard Plum): r-click on eats, unlock it and then close it

Craigh: I'm thinking bribery is our best shot as Plan A. Magic and trickery is Plan B?

Shislif (Zayden): oh thx

Howard Plum: That sounds good

Shislif (Zayden): Oh it was Thistle lol

Shislif (Zayden): There's no Indigo on?

Craigh: Ah, Thistle, you're a good pickpocket though, I hear?

Thistle: grins

Lisa (Howard Plum): I haven't activated him - just a sec

Lisa (Howard Plum): there you go - sorry

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I think our group's best plan would be to watch what happens in group one, and see how that goes

Lisa (Howard Plum): lol

Lisa (Howard Plum): you are group 1

BOB You ar doing this at the same time as group two Lemon

Craigh: How does this sound? You go first, try to get a set of keys off the guard. After you make your run, I'll act and bribe the guard to give over the gypsies into my patron's tender care, with Howard standing in the background as the angry patron.

BOB Group one just has a different bridge cleaning assignment

Craigh: Once we get your cousins into our care, you use the key to get the shackles off.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, but we can't actually do it at the same time, because that would be chaos for chat.

Thistle: Okay but how ya gonna make sure I don't... ya know, end up like you if I mess up?

Craigh: Craigh points to Howard.

Craigh: He has mega magic

Thistle: I mean he's got some good tricks, sure...

Craigh: And besides, I'm far too handome. You couldn't possibly end up like me.

Thistle: laughs

Shislif (Zayden): good idea lemon!

Craigh: He can set Alarm somewhere to go off as a distraction.

Thistle: All right, all right. I'm gonna trust ya, Craigh. You seem to know what you're doing.

Craigh: He can use glitter to distract them

Craigh: He can irritate them, although I think you could do that too if you wanted.

BOB LOL

Craigh: Or he can blast them with magic missile.

Thistle: Easily.

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Craigh: Let's avoid the lethal methods if we can though.

Thistle: Ya we're not trying to also end up in jail.

Thistle: So I'm guessing no lawyer?

Craigh: It's best if the day ends up with no one suspecting anything.

Zayden -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Hey Bix, do you have any spells that like, could inebriate a guard lets say maybe?

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Zayden: um... I have one that causes allergies

Craigh: I'm an honest criminal. What would I want with a lawyer?

BOB HAH

Zayden -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Like, how bad allergies we talking about?

Thistle: shrugs

Michael (Talwin): Back, sorry. Eating dinner and playing at same time :)

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Zayden: Not sure, it's never worked

BOB group two is about to attempt to jail break two of the gypsy prisoners

Zayden -> Bixi Fizzlebang: huh, well worth a shot either way, I know allergies can be very distracting

Craigh: Alright, before we begin, any questions? Howard?

BOB You are at the bridge

BOB final checks

Zayden -> Indigo: Hey Indigo, was just wondering if you have any special skills that may be helpful, like fighting or magic or stealing or something, with this upcoming jail break situation

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Zayden: I can also call lighting, but that's pretty dangerous depending on how close we are to the target

Howard Plum: I wait until Thistle gets in trouble before casting anything

TMO (Craigh): just checking, neither of my spells appear to be concentration

Howard Plum: I look angry and want workers, right?

Zayden -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Hmmm, I bet that would be pretty distracting though, you could just try lightning an area without peopple

Indigo -> Zayden: just fighting. I have a gaming npc for possible distractions, betting etc.

Craigh: Sounds good. The angle I think I'm going to play, althouugh it may change depending on the guard, is that you're a relative of one of the drowned men, and want to get even.

Zayden -> Indigo: Fighting is great thanks, although hopefully we won't need to fight

Craigh: If the guard seems too noble for that, we'll just go the straight worker ploy.

Indigo -> Zayden: k

Craigh: and bribery. Can't forget that.

-> Bixi Fizzlebang: I find it very ammusing that shy little Bixi who does not know how to use spells, one night punches holes in the side of a boat with a watery fist then the next day is calling lightning down on a bridge for a jail break

Howard Plum: takes a deep breath and follows Craigh

Zayden -> Bixi Fizzlebang: When we get there we'll have to see what the specifics of the guard situation is, like how many and such,

Craigh: Alright, let's actively wait for the prisoners to show up.

Shislif (Zayden): active waiting is the best

Prison Guard work detail: Get that spot there, you wanted out in the sun, this is the best you get

TMO (Craigh): How many prisoners total here?

Prison Guard work detail: YOU! Lower him down into the water, get that bucket down there

TMO (Craigh): and how many guards?

BOB 8 total on this detail with 3 guards

Shislif (Zayden): ohh lot of guards

Prison Guard work detail: If he cannot swim that is just better

Prison Guard work detail: He won't go anywhere

TMO (Craigh): Craigh notes which guard that was.

Craigh: Craigh notes which guard that was.

Prison Guard work detail: pauses, nods to a passing person on the bridge, Morning Mamm

Howard Plum: puts his hands on his hips so he can grab spell components easily from his pockets and watches

TMO (Craigh): call that guard Able

Prison Guard work detail: Looks over to the other guards on either end of the bridge

BOB All three with crossbows

Craigh: You're up, Thistle. Whenever you're ready.

BOB just in case

TMO (Craigh): are the prisoners wearing shackles or chains of any sort?

Thistle: Sure sure and I'm gonna...?

Zayden -> Bixi Fizzlebang: I could try using some of my fast talking and persuasion skills, if the guards are distracted by allergies may make them more amenable to our truths

BOB Yes to shackles on their ankles

Craigh: Keys.

Thistle: But which one ya think?

BOB So the ones dangling into the water have the extra weight on them also,

Craigh: Observe. My guess is the one giving orders, but watch the other two also. Pick your target. We have time, there's no rush.

Prison Guard work detail: Clean that pillar

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Zayden: I have a few possible ideas, but yeah, it will depend on what it's like when we get there

Carissa (Thistle): (he says to the one without obs)

TMO (Craigh): Ahh...

Thistle: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 35) [SUCCESS by 4] [d100 = 31]

TMO (Craigh): In that case.

Lisa (Howard Plum): prisoners are hanging off the bridge? people are walking along the bridge and a guard on each end and in the middle, correct?

Thistle: listening for keys?

Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 2]

Zayden -> Bixi Fizzlebang: coolio

BOB Yes to Lisa some are hanging off the bridge others are holding them

BOB two cleaning on the surface, two holding one other down over the edge

BOB and two holding one over the edge on the other side of the bridge

TMO (Craigh): this is kinda the thing Craigh was designed to do, and this is the first time he's gotten to do it. ;)

Carissa (Thistle): (good let 'em direct it all to success :P)

TMO (Craigh): could Craigh tell which guard is in charge and/or has the keys?

BOB The middle one has the keys

BOB the one calling out orders

Craigh: The one in the middle calling out the orders, keys on his belt.

BOB your two gypsies are cleaning on the surface, they are not allowed to go over the edge out of sight of the guards

TMO (Craigh): where are our two gypsies?

TMO (Craigh): hanging over the sides I assume?

Lisa (Howard Plum): just on the bridge if they aren't allowed to hang over

Thistle: Ya ready, Craigh?

Craigh: It's all yours.

Thistle: [SKILL] Pick Pockets [PERCENT:Pick Pockets] (vs. Target 75) [SUCCESS by 14] [d100 = 61]

Lisa (Howard Plum): nice

Shislif (Zayden): yeaaaaa

BOB Thistle walks down the bridge and stumbles, catches herself on the guard, and then walks away

BOB pocketing his keys

Shislif (Zayden): sweet moves!

Craigh: Craigh steps back into a shadowed area

Craigh: [CAST] Change Self

Shislif (Zayden): Quick Q is our group going 2nd or 3rd?

BOB 2nd for group 1 with Zayden et al

Shislif (Zayden): cool, after our group goes I may take a quick break to pick up some food

Craigh: Craigh makes himself look like a noble functionary/assistant, with two arms, although his left hand is always tucked in at his belt.

Craigh: Change Self

Craigh: Janne's Impressive Demeanor

Craigh: Craigh then makes himself look impressive.

Craigh: Craigh then makes himself look impressive.

Craigh: Craigh strides down to the head guard. "Excuse me, sir. A quick moment of your time, if I may?"

Shislif (Zayden): that's impressive

Prison Guard work detail: Looks up

Howard Plum: watches Craigh closely

TMO (Craigh): (he only has 2 spell slots. gotta pick'em carefully)

Prison Guard work detail: Oh, Yes Sir, what is the problem sir?

Prison Guard work detail: Hey get those two out of the way

Prison Guard work detail: Clear the way

Craigh: says quietly to the guard, "Do my eyes deceive me, or are two of your ... "workers" ... some of those horrid gypsies?"

Prison Guard work detail: Nods Yes Sir, putting the scoundrels to honest work for once

Craigh: As I thought, as I thought.

Craigh: Well, my patron and I were walking by when we spied them out here. As it turns out, my patron is distantly related to one of the poor men drowned by the gypsies. Would it be possible to, er, 'release' the gypsies into his care for a 'special' job, without anyone being any wiser? For a suitable fee, of course?

TMO (Craigh): Craigh as Persuasion and Bribery both available to roll, Bob

Prison Guard work detail: Well I don't know about that

BOB make those checks

TMO (Craigh): public or secret?

BOB Public is fine

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

Craigh: [SKILL] Bribe [PERCENT:Bribe] (vs. Target 50) [FAILURE by 49] [d100 = 99]

TMO (Craigh): LOL

Carissa (Thistle): ouch

Shislif (Zayden): uh oh

TMO (Craigh): let's hear it for the dice!

Shislif (Zayden): what's he gonna do next?

TMO (Craigh): but, Craigh is Impressive!

Prison Guard work detail: I can't just let them go

Craigh: I was afraid of that, I really was.

Carissa (Thistle): maybe we should have blessed him before this... not that it'd help much

Craigh: Are you sure?

Prison Guard work detail: Your patron could request a detail for cleaning

Craigh: I mean, he does come from a wealthy family.

Craigh: Yes, exactly!

Prison Guard work detail: Would not take more than a week to get you onto the schedule

Prison Guard work detail: You have a latrine to be cleaned?

Craigh: Unfortunately, I'm afraid he has important family business to attend to starting tomorrow.

Craigh: That's why we're out running errands today in this dismal rain.

Prison Guard work detail: Filthy rain

Craigh: Indeed

Lisa (Howard Plum): we should have had a signal other than Thistle getting in trouble - just occurred to me

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ... there's dismal rain every day

Craigh: That the gypsies caused, did they not?

Prison Guard work detail: That is what I hear

Howard Plum: taps his pockets impatiently trying to act annoyed

Shislif (Zayden): tough situation

Craigh: If I say I know of a latrine that needs to be cleaned immediately, coud you loan me our two gypsies for about, oh, an hour?

Prison Guard work detail: Would be hard Sir

Prison Guard work detail: I understand your need

TMO (Craigh): Thistle getting in trouble was our only signal! :D

Prison Guard work detail: but we have a schedule

Carissa (Thistle): just flash him a little gold :P

Lisa (Howard Plum): you can point at Howard or something

Shislif (Zayden): he calls it gold?

BOB chuckles

TMO (Craigh): that's what the bribery roll was. can I increase the amount for a reroll Bob?

Carissa (Thistle): lol

BOB sorry no

Carissa (Thistle): can't we bribe without a bribery roll? feel like we've done that before

Shislif (Zayden): :)

BOB Well you can but it is half the chance of the first roll and double the offer

TMO (Craigh): that give me a 25% chance

BOB so it is not a real chance

BOB grins

TMO (Craigh): not horrible, but pretty bad

BOB you can try

TMO (Craigh): I will. Persuasion is out after one roll, I assume

BOB yes

TMO (Craigh): double the coin offer

Craigh: [SKILL] Bribe [PERCENT:Bribe] (vs. Target 50) [SUCCESS by 43] [d100 = 7]

Shislif (Zayden): nice!

BOB WOW

TMO (Craigh): *blows on his fingertips*

Lisa (Howard Plum): sweet

Shislif (Zayden): how much did you offer?

TMO (Craigh): UNKNOWN!

Carissa (Thistle): damnnnn

Shislif (Zayden): lol

TMO (Craigh): BOB - HOW MUCH DID I OFFER?

Prison Guard work detail: Look, If you promise to have them back here in two hours, then you can take them

BOB Original was 5 silver

BOB so 10 silver

Lisa (Howard Plum): 1 gold easy

Carissa (Thistle): very nice!

Craigh: You sir, have made it onto my Good Books. My patron will look very favorably upon both of us for this.

Prison Guard work detail: Nods,

Prison Guard work detail: Walks over to the two prisoners to unlock them

Prison Guard work detail: reaches down for his keys

Lisa (Howard Plum): uh-oh

Craigh: No, no, leave the shackles on please!

Craigh: We wouldn't want to risk them escaping, would we?

Prison Guard work detail: Oh

Prison Guard work detail: Ok

Prison Guard work detail: Yes that is a good idea

TMO (Craigh): they aren't chained together or anything, are they? just individual chains?

User has gone AFK. (Lorie)

BOB Individual shackles on each prisoner's ankles

TMO (Craigh): I imagined it woud be hard to have them in 3 different places if they were chained together

Craigh: Come along you two! We have a very, very important latrine that needs to be cleaned!

BOB So the two gypsies head off with Craigh and Howard

Craigh: And don't try anything, or the guard there is going to be *very* unhappy with you!@

BOB Jumping to group 1

Howard Plum: turns away from the guard so hopefully he doesn't look to hard at him

BOB So Zayden, Indigo

Shislif (Zayden): nice job group 2!

BOB Bixi

Howard Plum: whispers

Howard Plum: Nicely done Craigh

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sounds like bribery is a good strategy

Craigh: Thought we were going to have to start blasting there for a second.

Shislif (Zayden): yea bribers is a good plan A

Zayden: who is the most impressive to offer the bribe you think?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well, I can be persuasive... but... it doesn't always work

Zayden: well nothing always works

BOB You are up in the northern part of the city

Bixi Fizzlebang: Let me rephrase that

Lorie (Licornah): (I am back)

Zayden: They may be more susceptible to a pretty lady, though

Bixi Fizzlebang: It hardly ever works

BOB Cleaning the Cantare Bridge

Zayden: oh hardly ever huh?

Zayden: Well I could give it a try

Bixi Fizzlebang: Need info. Any plants around? What is the bridge made out of? Stone, etc.?

Zayden: or we could both go, we could part of an acting troupe

BOB that is the Theatre district

BOB everything is stone

Shislif (Zayden): Dang it

BOB there are gardens nearby

BOB (LINK)

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

Indigo: What do you want me to do?

Image: EastQuaytown

Zayden: Chill with us for now Indigo

BOB So there are only 6 prisoners here but four guards

Indigo: Okay

Shislif (Zayden): 4!

BOB everything needs to be clean, nobles all around the area

Zayden: do we have enough money for a bribe?

BOB the spring season is in full bloom

BOB flowers everywhere

Shislif (Zayden): high class area nice

Lisa (Indigo): Indigo's favorite number :)

BOB the Theaters are gearing up for performances

BOB the Opera houses are buzzing

BOB and laughs with Lis

BOB Lisa

Zayden: We could both approach and say we from the Theater, and that we need a Gypsy for some Theater stuff

BOB Indigo has been in this area before on an ill fated adventure

Lisa (Indigo): Sharif oh - you weren't here for money distribution

Zayden: And offer to compensate them for their troubles

Shislif (Zayden): no worries

Lisa (Indigo): you have 10 gold, 20 silver and 30 coppers on your person. After this add to your sheet minus whatever you spend here if you do

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So I might try phantasmal force to make it look like a prisoner is escaping? Or... I don't know, what other illusion could distract the guards?

Shislif (Zayden): ok thx

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's not a bad idea maybe, Zayden... maybe we want them to help us haul heavy props?

Shislif (Zayden): got it

Lisa (Indigo): bugbear pirate?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or I could come in being like "Oh, I'm a big deal priestess and need to do a thing to make the rain stop, going to have to take this gypsy" /successfully roll persusasion

Lisa (Indigo): doesn't hurt to try

Shislif (Zayden): yea like physical labor stuff

Shislif (Zayden): And we can assure him that the whole theater hates Gypsies, so they'll be mistreated

Shislif (Zayden): that's a good idea too, especially if we bring up how much the rain sucks beforehand

BOB GML - Gypsy Lives Matter group starts picketing outside the theater

Shislif (Zayden): lol they should!

Carissa (Thistle): lol

Shislif (Zayden): And I can be like your butler or something

Shislif (Zayden): if need be

Zayden: I'm not sure if that's something priestesses have

Shislif (Zayden): is there a guard that's clearly the leader?

Shislif (Zayden): and are the prisoners shackled?

BOB and LOL I was creaking my chair and Alexa said, "wake up you are snoring"

Lisa (Indigo): they have acolytes

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Lisa (Indigo): lol Bob

Shislif (Zayden): acolytes?

Lisa (Indigo): religious followers

Zayden: oh priestessess sure

BOB There are six guards, you can see one is in charge

Zayden: Yea I could be an acolyte for sure

Lorie (Licornah): acolytes = minions for relgious types :)

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Zayden: and so could Indigo actually

Lisa (Indigo): sure

BOB ready set....

BOB GO

Zayden: preistess and her two acolytes need a sacrificial Gypsy to cure the rain business happening as of late

BOB How are you arranged on / near the bridge

BOB and go walk up Bixi to the guard

Shislif (Zayden): is there an image?

BOB no

Michael (Talwin): Er...I actually ahdn't thought that far ahead. I guess respectful and supportive?

Shislif (Zayden): Bixi at the front, Indigy and I following at the back

Image: EastQuaytown

Bixi Fizzlebang: approaches the guard

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello sir. How are you today?

Zayden follows

Prison Guard work detail: Looks at Bixi

Prison Guard work detail: Grunts

Prison Guard work detail: Evening Priestess

Prison Guard work detail: Sorry do not recognize your insignia

Bixi Fizzlebang: Must be awful to be out in this rain, all the time. Can I offer you an aura of comfort to make your job a little more comfortable this evening?

Prison Guard work detail: What do those lozenges mean?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): They mean my throat is sore

Prison Guard work detail: Oh well that would be nice, thank you

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Prison Guard work detail: (LINK)

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Aura of Comfort

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SAVE VS] Aura of Comfort

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, oops, I didn't mean to do twice

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But what DO my lozenges mean?

BOB For others (and Lemon) the number of lozenges means what level priest you are

Shislif (Zayden): oh lol thx

BOB 3 for Bixi as an Aunt

BOB three diamonds on her vestments

Shislif (Zayden): oh that's nice

Bixi Fizzlebang: The lonzenges mean I am an Aunt

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I guess

BOB means you are over 5th level

BOB at 7th level you gain one more

Prison Guard work detail: An Aunt?

Prison Guard work detail: Like an Uncle?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Sir, I wanted to ask you a question. My order thinks they may have gotten to the bottom of this rain business, but we still have some testing to do

Prison Guard work detail: That would be very good

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ah, it means I am over 5th level, but you can think of it however you like

Prison Guard work detail: I had no idea Aunts and Uncles were looking into it

Prison Guard work detail: I wish my uncle cared so much

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well, we're all very tired of the rain, I'm sure

Zayden Nods head

Prison Guard work detail: We have had to clean more with all this rain

Prison Guard work detail: the spring is always hard but now it is crazy

Prison Guard work detail: the mold keeps growing all over

Indigo: Yuck

Prison Guard work detail: scrubbing it off takes work

Indigo: coughs

Bixi Fizzlebang: In order to complete this testing, we just need a gypsy to... let's call it helping out. (wink). I was wondering if we might be able to talk to someone about borrowing someone from work detail. Even if it doesn't work, it would get the criminal off the street for a bit, at least make a more sightly picture for people passing by the bridge

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): roll now? persuasion?

BOB yes make your rolls

Lisa (Indigo): the mold did not distract Bixi. She's a woman on a mission

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 15]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 19]

Shislif (Zayden): do i roll too?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh man, can't even help with the mold!

Shislif (Zayden): just Bix?

BOB Only Bixi has spoken so far

Carissa (Thistle): mold isn't a plant so....

Lisa (Indigo): details, details

Shislif (Zayden): I feel like as Acolytes we should be quiet

Bixi Fizzlebang: My acolytes here can attest to my mission, if you care to question them

BOB see our favorite scientist has spoken

Carissa (Thistle): lol although I guess yellow mold was?

Bixi Fizzlebang: SCIENCE HAS NO PLACE HERE, CARISSAZ

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): OOC

Lisa (Indigo): it's hard for Indigo to be completely quiet

Carissa (Thistle): :)

BOB Letting your group speak

Carissa (Thistle): did you guys set a signal when things go wrong? lol

BOB No they did not

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Come on guys, back me up

Zayden: Hello Mr Prison Guard, what should we call y ou if you don't mind my asking? I am Zayden

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, nope. We're a flying by the seat of our pants kind of group.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Plus I can call lightining

Shislif (Zayden): give em allergies?

TMO (Craigh): that's always a good signal if things go wrong

Prison Guard work detail: Good Morning Accolyte Zayden

TMO (Craigh): it does require a storm to cast, after all. ;)

Prison Guard work detail: Why don't you have any lozenges

Zayden: Good morning sir

Prison Guard work detail: Looks at Indigo too

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm not trying to swipe it out from under him just yet, just asking about information lol... hoping the guard will be like, "yeah, you can take this one off my hands"

Indigo: We're new. We haven't earned any yet

Zayden: I justa forgot to wear mine today, I've been getting hell all day

Prison Guard work detail: Ahh

Prison Guard work detail: How hard is it?

Looks over at Bixi examining the mold on the bridge

Zayden: If you're serious about it's challenging but doable, takes discipline you know

Zayden: But I'm sure you know about discipline, you seem to run a very tight ship here

Prison Guard work detail: Nods, we have to pay attention to details

Indigo: It's really hard. We have to follow everywhere and clean the censors and light candles and pray 15 times a day and ... and ...

Indigo: we carry things

Prison Guard work detail: Wow 15 times seems like a lot

Prison Guard work detail: I maybe pray once or twice a week

Prison Guard work detail: if you do not count cursing

Indigo: It is! I need to pray more than most people

Zayden: ha ha

Prison Guard work detail: But who counts that right?

Zayden laughs

Zayden: I always count them!

Zayden: really helps keep those numbers up if you know what I mean

Prison Guard work detail: I wish that worked for me

Prison Guard work detail: you almost done here?

Zayden: You gotta keep your number up Prison Guard?

Prison Guard work detail: She said something about working on some project

Indigo: Aunt Bixi says if we could just strap a real live gypsy to a table and cast stuff on him or her then we can make the rain go away

Prison Guard work detail: We have to clean this bridge then move onto the next one

Prison Guard work detail: That sounds weird

Prison Guard work detail: Like a think a priest or a wizard would do

Indigo: Well you don't want them to run away

Zayden: Yes, we really need us a Gypsy, to help with this horrible rain, and I'm sure we can compensate you (does hand signal) for any loss in productivity this may incur upon you and your good men here

Indigo: Aunt Bixi is a priestess

BOB You can make your rolls

Bixi Fizzlebang: No harm would come to them, we would be able to return them in working order. The gods are fickle, though, they aren't fond of dead offerings

Zayden: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 7]

Zayden: [SKILL] Fast-Talking [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 18]

Shislif (Zayden): think I'm done

Lisa (Indigo): Indigo could really only rol CHR - needed?

Zayden: [SKILL] Disguise [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 11]

BOB overall you tried your best but that 20 is an automatic failure

Shislif (Zayden): one more

Shislif (Zayden): dang

Indigo: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 14]

Lisa (Indigo): so ...

BOB They are not convinced to give him up

Carissa (Thistle): what if they pushed Zayden off the bridge?

Bixi Fizzlebang: If you could just tell us who to speak with about this?

Carissa (Thistle): "we aren't with him, really!"

TMO (Craigh): what a noob! rolled a 20! nothing at all like that 99 I rolled! ;)

Shislif (Zayden): whoa what?

Carissa (Thistle): lol

BOB LOL to Carissa and TMO

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Indigo: Can we play for him?

Indigo: I have dice

Prison Guard work detail: Play for him?

Prison Guard work detail: like gamble with him?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, gosh, Indigo, what a clever acolyte! I hadn't even thought about taking this gypsy here, but that would certainly be more convenient...

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): playing dumb

Indigo: well if I win we get to borrow a gypsy and if I lose I give you a coin

Prison Guard work detail: Do I get the gypsy back?

Lisa (Indigo): why I am counting on dice when I suck ...

TMO (Craigh): lol

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, we were counting on my persuasion, which also sucks

Indigo: Yeah. We don't want them forever

Carissa (Thistle): shhh have faith

TMO (Craigh): no negativity! All positivity!

Indigo: Aunt Bixi just needs to test a spell

Prison Guard work detail: Ummmm sure if you win you can have him for an hour

Prison Guard work detail: and if I win I get a silver piece

Indigo: Okay

Indigo: Here you can even look at the dice to make sure they are real

Indigo: takes a deep breath

Prison Guard work detail: mutters, this is a win win, I get his silver no matter what

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh hey, I have charm person if this doesn't work

Lorie (Licornah): (ewww he's a luck zapper and he touched the dice!)

Lisa (Indigo): keep throwing the dice too hard and off the chat :)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Probably could have started with that, but when you have 108 spells...

Prison Guard work detail: LOL

Indigo: [SKILL] Gaming [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 17]

Lisa (Indigo): ack

Carissa (Thistle): you needed Craigh's dice

Prison Guard work detail: See easy money

Shislif (Zayden): lol no luck this round

Bixi Fizzlebang: [CAST] Charm Person or Mammal

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SAVE VS] Charm Person or Mammal

TMO (Craigh): *headdesk*

Indigo: Here's a silver

Prison Guard work detail: Thank you

Prison Guard work detail: [SAVE] vs. Spell [d20 = 4]

Save [4] [Target 19] -> [for Prison Guard work detail] [FAILURE]

TMO (Craigh): you mean my dice that rolled a 16 vs my 11 skill? those dice?

Carissa (Thistle): FINALLY

Zayden: whispers to bix: Should I pick his pocket?

Carissa (Thistle): lol your magic loaded ones

Prison Guard work detail: Again

Prison Guard work detail: I bet I can beat you again

Indigo: Double or nothing?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Sir, do you really want to risk angering the gods and not giving the city a chance to finally be rid of this rain? Before the rivers rise and the floods begin?

Prison Guard work detail: Sure

Carissa (Thistle): (flutter your eyes at him Bix)

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

Prison Guard work detail: DaMN

Shislif (Zayden): nice!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Goodness, acolyte, I'm not sure this is befitting of your order

Prison Guard work detail: You need him back here in an hour

Indigo: I'm sorry Aunt Bixi. If I guard the gypsy and promise never to gamble again will you forgive me?

Prison Guard work detail: we have to go clean two more bridges today

Indigo: Okay

Bixi Fizzlebang: You will need to pray 16 times a day, most likely.

Indigo: Yes Aunt Bixi

BOB and done

BOB Lorie and Michael

Shislif (Zayden): nice job Indigo!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Thank you, guard. I will put in a good word for you in my prayers, and the whole city will celebrate you when the rains end. And if the experiments do not work, you shall have your gypsy back, and no one will be any the wiser

Michael (Talwin): falling asleep, buit here

BOB you have the Greek Temple portion

Licornah: :: makes her way to the ship ::

Michael (Talwin): Alrighty

BOB You two go to the Knarr

Shislif (Zayden): gonna afk for a bit and grab some food, so prolly gone like 30 mins or so

Michael (Talwin): OK

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That was the longest, stupidest ruse, when all it took was some gambling lol

Michael (Talwin): So we are at Knarr right?

BOB you talk to Knotty

BOB anything else?

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

BOB before you head to the greek temples

Carissa (Thistle): (it all worked out in the end)

Lisa (Indigo): you never know what will work - terrible bad luck with rolls

Carissa (Thistle): (is Rae here or enjoying a spa day?)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Dang, I should have altered my appearance first so they couldn't track me down when I didn't return their gypsy

Lorie (Licornah): Once I get insight from Knotty on what's up... we head to the Greek Temples and cross fingers and toes they like gray elves here

BOB Rae can be there with them yes

Michael (Talwin): I ready ready for the temple? I put on the cleanest clothes I can find, and will make sure I bring an offering for the temple

Michael (Talwin): Probably 5 GP

Lisa (Indigo): maybe we should leave on day 2 and not extend our stay after all ...

BOB Knotty is unsatisfied with his lodgings, being stuck in the hold for over 12 days

BOB But he has had lots of food to eat

BOB and the person you have down there with him has scratched his back

BOB and used him to sleep against

Licornah: :: sympathizes with him and takes note for Bixi ::

BOB so that is good

Raelynn: (the guy I thought we let loose ages ago?)

Lorie (Licornah): More walkies... got it

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Tell him I said I want to let him out for a break soon!

Talwin: Oh Knotty. I'll bring you a treat back too!

BOB Licornah can let him go now

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): don't forget the beer for the merman

Michael (Talwin): YES! I buy that! But not right this second

Arkady Bulygin: What are you going to do with me

Talwin: Frankly I have no idea.

Talwin: I'll turn you over to the guards.

Arkady Bulygin: Why!

Licornah: :: frowns :: I would have tossed you overboard days ago

Talwin: Hopefully they can direct you to social services

Talwin: I would have as well. Take it or leave it

Arkady Bulygin: I just want to be free

Arkady Bulygin: my landlord is dead

Talwin: I wanted a barristar today! But we can't always get what we want!

Arkady Bulygin: that barrister is dead

Lorie (Licornah): I'm sure there are loads of MSWs and BSWs here for him

Raelynn: Er, we were just going to let him go at this point. We don't want to interact with the guards... more than necessary right now.

Arkady Bulygin: I am free to start a new life

Talwin: Grunts

Licornah: :: motions :: Be gone

Talwin: Grabs Key Ring

Talwin: Unlocks Cell

Talwin: Be free. Here's some rations

BOB There is no cell he is just tied up in your hold

BOB next to knotty

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: That fluffy one is always ruining our fun

BOB You can untie him

Talwin: Unties Him

BOB he is still stuck on your knarr

Talwin: Be Free, her'es some rations

Raelynn: Make smarter investments, too. Maybe look into priesthood to atone. Or at least a better business partner.

BOB you hired a skiff to come out here

Talwin: Can you swim by any chance?

Licornah: :: unties him ::

Arkady Bulygin: No

Raelynn: Oh come now, he can go back with us. We're going to the temple anyways.

Arkady Bulygin: I am a tanner

Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Did we have to pay to get into the city? We should at least give him enough for that

Talwin: Grunts

Talwin: OK. Come along.

Arkady Bulygin: Heaves up

Arkady Bulygin: Woah

Arkady Bulygin: OK that is hard

Raelynn: [SKILL] Diagnostics [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 9]

Grabs onto Talwin

Talwin: I would recommend latching onto another support mechanism

BOB Rae can tell he has just been down here in the dark for three days, first time standing and it is on a boat on the water

Talwin: Let me put together a care package to get you started

Raelynn: Actually... maybe we should bring him to the temple with us for care.

Talwin: Sighs

Talwin: Okay, just let me grab some stuff for him first

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Why do we care if he survives?

BOB refilling brb

Talwin: Takes a napsack, throws some food and a change of clothes. Take a pouch and drops a couple silvers in it.

Talwin: Rethinks

Raelynn: Thank you, Talwin.

Talwin: Drops another two silvers in

Talwin: Nods

Raelynn: I'm glad your sword hasn't completely twisted your morals yet.

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: What the hell man

Talwin: That should get him in and out, or enough time to find work at the tanneries

Talwin: Mumbles: "Oh come on, I'm not that heartless. Remember, you put up with this for the slaughter times later"

Talwin: "I'm not always a complete ass"

Michael (Talwin): (ah sorry. Also talking to sword)

BOB back

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: But why give him extra money???

Carissa (Raelynn): lol assumed so

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Why not. Not like I need it much. Besides, I might invest in a shop......

BOB and Rae and Licornah hear Talwin muttering to himself again

Raelynn: eyes him with concern

Licornah: Glad this business is over.

Talwin: OK. Some rations, a change of clothes, and four silver pieces.

Talwin: Turns away from the others. and Writes a mysterious note

BOB The four of you get back on the skiff, Youtargim waves as you leave

Talwin: Turns away from the others. and Writes a mysterious note

Licornah: Shall we head to the temples. Knotty has some improvement suggestions for Bixi

Carissa (Raelynn): (is it a list??)

Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): it better be a list

BOB LOL

Talwin: Might as well. And we can take tanner here for a checkup

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Michael (Talwin): IN a manner of speaking...

BOB So you get to the docks, dismiss your tanner

Raelynn: nods

BOB the three of you go off to the temples

Carissa (Raelynn): (well we were going to be nice and take him to the temple for treatment but okay)

BOB you find the Temple to Posiden

Talwin: Passes Note to Tanner as we leave. Stamps a seal at the bottom

Talwin: Passes Note to Tanner as we leave. Stamps a seal at the bottom

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: what did you do

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I'm in your head, you have to tell me

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Just irritating you

Licornah: Have either of you visited the Temples before?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Tell me

Raelynn: Which ones?

Talwin: I know they like offerings

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: We are supposed to be best friends

Licornah: Any of them?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Secrets don't make friends

Raelynn: Years and years ago passing through. Too long ago to matter.

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): No, but they do make friendships entertaining!

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I strongly disagree, and regret telling you that you could hide thoughts from me

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I'm going to start hiding things from you as well

Licornah: Okay... I don't remember Greek temples in Silvermoon, so I'm not sure I am familiar with the protocols here

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I only hide unimportant stuff. You should be able to have some privacy

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: If it was unimportant, why would you bother hiding it?

BOB As you find your way to the temple

Licornah: Enters the grounds and hope for an acolyte to appear

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): It's a suprise

Human, priestess: Hello

Raelynn: [SKILL] Etiquette [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 10]

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Unless it involves giant blood coating my blade, it probably is not a pleasant surprise

Raelynn: Good day, priestess.

Carissa (Raelynn): bobs the proper whatever for this situation

Human, priestess: How are you today?

Raelynn: bobs the proper whatever for this situation

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Relax. I'll tell you later

Licornah: :: gives a low bow :: Good morning

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I'm IN YOUR HEAD. There's literally no reason why you coudln't tell me now. It's not like I can communicate with anyone else

Human, priestess: Lovely weather we are having

The time is 8:00 AM

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Because I don't want to type out an imediate response in my head. I'm tired....

Carissa (Raelynn): (I feel that chat icon for Michael is sword business...)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: You're bringing the real world into this, man?

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Not too much

Licornah: Is it rainy season here?

BOB Just wait to read the full chat log of all the whispers

Carissa (Raelynn): (excited for that)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Words are gone... what's it called when you do that and ruin the immersion for someone else?

Raelynn: elbows Talwin to pay attention

Human, priestess: It is always rainy in the spring, this year is very rainy

Raelynn: Do the rains just... stay in one spot? That seems a bit unusual.

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Suspension of disbelief? Breaking the 4th wall? Whatever

Human, priestess: This is very unusual

Talwin: Talwin tries to pay attention, occassionally wincing at mental proding

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I'm just trying to be your totally-not-evil bestie sword here

BOB damn that worked very well for both conversations

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): OH MY GOD I"LL TELL YOU LATER

Carissa (Raelynn): (note to self to check this spot in chat)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Why are you shouting at me? /sword starts crying

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You are GROUNDED. Think about what you have done!

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I'm always grounded, I don't have legs!

Lorie (Licornah): :: holds her question for the response to Rae's question ::

Carissa (Raelynn): (don't think she's going to respond more to that)

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I'll tell you before anyone else, if you just promise to be quiet for this convertsation. Kind of important!

Human, priestess: This is very unusal

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: More important than our friendship?

Raelynn: looks at Licornah to take the lead with her questions.

Talwin: Bows deeply

Licornah: :: tilts head :: do you think all is well with the temples? Might someone need :: ponders :: appeasing? Or do you think it's just a boon for the farmers with all the rain

Human, priestess: Well the farmers might like the rain that is true

Human, priestess: But our God of the waters must be blessing us

Youlish, Centaur : COUGHS

Youlish, Centaur : Not just the waters

Licornah: :: turns to see the new humanoid and bows ::

Human, priestess: Yes, I am sorry Bishop Youlish, Not only the water

Licornah: Why do you say that?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Wow, point taken, ouch. I'm giving you the silent treatment now, until it no longer suits my purposes!

Licornah: I am Sister Licornah

Youlish, Centaur : I am Bishop Youlish, servant of Posieden

TMO (Craigh): (centaurs call him Poniesdon)

Carissa (Raelynn): lmao

Youlish, Centaur: Ihave been here in the city for a few years

Youlish, Centaur: out on my rounds I remind that our other key area of consern is horses

Licornah: I hail from lands far from here, and follow a deity that is unknown to you. These rains seem strange and unusual, but I hoped a chat with you might shed light

Youlish, Centaur: Those poor lesser creatures

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Oh.My.God. It was a letter of passage to the tannery in Dragon's Fen if he wanted a job and a writ of credit for 10 GP to get him there. Besides, we can always use more tanners. Now was taht such a big deal!

Youlish, Centaur: Where do you hail from fair Elf?

Licornah: Silvermoon

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Not the content, but it WAS a big deal for our trust level

Youlish, Centaur: That must be very far, I do not remember ever hearing of such a place in our teachings

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): IF that was a big deal for trust levels, you need therapy. Oh, I know, we both can go!

Licornah: :: nod :: It seems no one has ever heard of my lands. But I am learning new lands all the time now

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: We probably should not do that. I would be ok with it, however, the therapist would not be able to hear me, and would lock you up for being crazy

Youlish, Centaur: There are lands that stretch to all the distant corners of the world

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I'm sure there's someone just as crazy who would be able to help

Youlish, Centaur: Why are you here in these lands?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Then they should not be a therapist

Licornah: We were called here to assist others. We've heard several concerns about the rains and was hoping to see if you had a source of the troubles

Youlish, Centaur: These are unusual rains, they have stayed for far longer than any I have heard of

Youlish, Centaur: Our God has not called to use to keep them here

Youlish, Centaur: Nor has he asked for us to disperse them

Licornah: Have you asked him or do you suspect it's another deity?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: The only one who would believe you is that idiot short one that had me before I found you

Youlish, Centaur: I do not sense another diety actively opposing Posiedon

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Enough

Lorie (Licornah): (Okay, I think I hit a dead end here...sorry all)

Michael (Talwin): (and I'm falling alseep LOL)

Lorie (Licornah): :: nods :: I appreciate your insight. Do you have any other ideas about the rain and what we might do to get it to abate?

Raelynn: These rains are causing death of many. They cannot last longer, and they are not natural. There must be something going on.

Youlish, Centaur: If it does continue without relenting witht he correct sacrafices We would attempt to stop them

Raelynn: Is your diety unable to call to you?

Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): There's only half an hour left, you can do it!

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: grumbles, but obeys

Raelynn: What are the correct sacrificies?

Lorie (Licornah): (think of the bunnies and teeny tiny creatures ... shivering)

Youlish, Centaur: I have continued to receive my spells so I am certain that I am in good standing

Raelynn: Have you asked him directly? You say you do not sense another diety opposing, so is it yours or is something else trying to impose on his domain?

Youlish, Centaur: I would need to pray to asertain what will please him

Raelynn: The rains must relent.

Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 17]

Carissa (Raelynn): (HOW MANY TIMES CAN SHE FAIL THIS ROLL NOW? WHEN HAS SHE MADE IT EVER RECENTLY?????)

Carissa (Raelynn): (I'm getting pissed dice)

Youlish, Centaur: I can say that He is not at the heart of this rain

Youlish, Centaur: We appreciate the bounty

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So now find a god that hates rain?

Carissa (Raelynn): (someone else have useful rolls here?)

Youlish, Centaur: But we do not control it's continued stay

Raelynn: Yet you must have an idea of who does.

Licornah: Have there been troubles at any of the other temples?

Youlish, Centaur: No troubles that I know of

Carissa (Raelynn): Or how to make them stop

Raelynn: Or how to make them stop

Raelynn: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 20]

Carissa (Raelynn): (she's as charming as I feel now)

Lisa (Indigo): awwww

Youlish, Centaur: the only result from any augury that I have cast is that "They must reconcile with one"

Raelynn: looks to Talwin and Licornah

Raelynn: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 7]

Carissa (Raelynn): (just tossing all the dice out then)

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Roll things! any things!

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We're running out of time!

Michael (Talwin): I literally have nothing to roll in this situation LOL

BOB Rae can sense that you have all the knowledge you are going to gather here at this temple

Licornah: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]

Talwin: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]

Carissa (Raelynn): (arm wrestle for info)

Michael (Talwin): LOL

Michael (Talwin): So someone has to reconcile

Michael (Talwin): Great. Not vague at all but I got nothing :)

BOB you need to gather all the threads together and find the solution to that "Reconcile with One"

Carissa (Raelynn): one wisewoman?

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Licornah's always weaving on the ship, sounds like the threads would be her department

BOB nice

Licornah: :: bows :: I thank you for your time and insight. I wish you well.

Youlish, Centaur: Have a safe journey, I hope you enjoy these lands

Youlish, Centaur: Perhaps you should listen to an opera,

Youlish, Centaur: My uncle sang at one many years ago

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): is threads a hint? Didn't Jade say she liked weaving?

Talwin: Bows. Thank you for your wisdom. An offering for the temple

Raelynn: Perhaps if the rains let up.

Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or was it just coincidental word choice?

Michael (Talwin): Leaves 5 GP on the Dais (or collection bin, or whatever)

BOB and that brings us back full circle for TMO and Lisa with Operas and Rivers Bend

Michael (Talwin): Whew

Raelynn: looks at Talwin, "I hope you offer as much if you ever visit my temple."

TMO (Craigh): huh, wha?

Talwin: Shrugs

BOB and everyone can gather again at the Palazo

TMO (Craigh): :)

Carissa (Raelynn): (Sangar? Or whoever?)

Talwin: I don't got to temples Rae

BOB Nice Carissa

Shislif (Zayden): hey gang sorry eating dinner not sure I'll be back in time before he night ends

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Talwin: But If I ever visit yours, I'll be sure to donate

Lisa (Indigo): if we weren't stealing a prisoner and Indigo was not an acolyte he would have asked about the opera

Raelynn: Hmm, maybe I should drag you out next time...

The time is 10:00 AM

The time is 12:00 PM

BOB So at Noon at the Plazzo everyone is gathered again

BOB you have three gypsies with you now

Lorie (Licornah): :: relays Knotty insight and pure miss at temple to group ::

Bixi Fizzlebang: Time is of the essence, I promised to have the pretend experiments done an hour ago

Indigo: We should get them to Caravan Landing before some guards see us

BOB Do you want to call it a night here and wrap up the story next week?

Lorie (Licornah): (Sorry all, I need to head out...thanks for a great 12 hours)

Lisa (Indigo): lol

Lisa (Indigo): might be best

Carissa (Raelynn): if wrapping up the story involves thinking... yes

BOB It seems like it
