Host (v4.3.2) is running different version than client (v4.3.1).

GM: Hello Michael

Talwin: Hello! As promised

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

GM: Thank you Sir

GM: And your dice are working properly?

Talwin: No emergencies to speak of...except for TMO's wife's book at least

mharmon1 (Talwin): "An Amish Christmas Caper???"

GM: Yeah

mharmon1 (Talwin): Will check right now

mharmon1 (Talwin): I've been known to be wrong before though. Maybe it will be a hit and they will have the last laugh :)

Talwin: Hm no dice. Pun intended. Looks like it's redirecting me to the store even though it worked before. Let me see what' sup

GM: That is weird

GM: Menu and Dice Select?

Talwin: Yep

mharmon1 (Talwin): logging into FG on web to see if it shows

GM: Right what I was going to say

'MadamePsychosis' connected

mharmon1 (Talwin): Huh, it shows I own the Aura Dice, I just can't select it. WTF

mharmon1 (Talwin): What's the point in being able to purchase or gift something if it won't work?

GM: Hello Lisa

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hi Lisa!

GM: and you can fix that

MadamePsychosis: Hello all :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): alright, not sure how to fix this, but i'd rather focus on the present, so will let it go for now

Howard Plum: no one is here yet - go ahead and fix it :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): OK. I'll try and give it a go, but this is really poor interface design IMHO

MadamePsychosis: under the menu tab is dice select the first choice?

Talwin: Yep. Takes me all the way to the selection which then directs me to the store.

GM: Lorie will be late, TMO is likely a no,

GM: Sharif, Carissa, and Lemon are expected, no word from Spring

MadamePsychosis: which one did you select again?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Aura. Makes me try to purchase it again

MadamePsychosis: only the one you picked should open with choices

'Shislif' connected

mharmon1 (Talwin): Nope, it shows me all the choices, along with a link to the Store to purchase them

MadamePsychosis: do any of them open for you?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yeah, to the store...

MadamePsychosis: I have defauly, elemental basics and magical

MadamePsychosis: default

Shislif: Hey everyone!

MadamePsychosis: Hi Sharif! Welcome back!

mharmon1 (Talwin): I ahve Default, Elemental, Metal, Aura, Magical, Ring of Elements, Magical Trail, and Force Field as options to purchase. Looking at a wiki to see if that helps

Shislif: they used some of those mini pizza ovens, kinda made me wanna get one

GM: nice

GM: we just got one here for the house

GM: have to learn how to use it right, first time was .... not great

Shislif: oh nice! can you use them indoors? or does it have to be outdoors?

seyfert: Weird. For once chat loaded first? Anyways, hi all!

Shislif: plus making a good dough

GM: Ouch and sorry

MadamePsychosis: poor puppy

GM: So Michael you are about to arrive in Borts Beach

Shislif: poor thing hope she feels better!

mharmon1 (Talwin): OK.

GM: Everyone is still on the ship

GM: But the harbor is in view

GM: and I have moved everyone to the new map

GM: and you see the new background image

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hm. Could you reshare that bob? All my images post snyc have gone

Shislif: yea looks cool

GM: Records and Images

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yep, just remembered. Thx

GM: Or go to the Combat Tracker

Shislif: it would be cool if we could see our ship moving along the background map

GM: I can make that happen Sharif

Shislif: I think only like half the ship is showing...

Shislif: hey cool

mharmon1 (Talwin): It's because Vision limitations are in effect it looks like

Shislif: oh ok

Shislif: night time?

MadamePsychosis: and we're finally getting off it!!

mharmon1 (Talwin): If you move your character around it might work :)

Shislif: finally sheesh lol

GM: So for your basic questions Rae and Howard can vouch that the stuff on the site (See Records -> Links) is accurate for what you have

MadamePsychosis: don't see Zayden on the ship map

GM: DOH

MadamePsychosis: we're missing Zayden and Licornah

Shislif: Did you leave Zay behind?!?!

MadamePsychosis: He's in the hold with Knotty maybe

Licornah: Advanced Effect [''] -> [to Licornah]

Licornah: Advanced Effect ['Punching;BSTR: 0;'] -> [to Licornah] [by Punching]

seyfert (Raelynn): Last I heard, he was in Bywater oiling his rods.

Zayden: Advanced Effect ['Punching;BSTR: 0;'] -> [to Zayden] [by Punching]

MadamePsychosis: hope he's done with that :)

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

GM: adn Fixed

seyfert (Raelynn): Zay hasn't met the new girl yet PS

GM: no icon for Knotty yet

Shislif: We're back!

GM: and yes to Lemon for the new chance to make a first impression

GM: and now Knotty is fixed

GM: When you look at the image of Dryads Lair Precipality it has a grid, so you can check distances

GM: and when Michael is back we can start

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ready

mharmon1 (Talwin): Got the map up

mharmon1 (Talwin): Or rather the ship with us on it and the dock :)

GM: So first up is a quick discussion about how you want to go forward when you get to Borts

'springdew' connected

GM: Hey there Spring

Shislif: Borts? Not an attractive name

GM: Talwin has questions

mharmon1 (Talwin): I do?

seyfert (Raelynn): Hi Spring!

GM: Howard and Rae might have answers

GM: Do you know anything about Borts Beach and the surrounding area Talwin?

GM: grins

'LorieD' connected

Springity Thingity: hi hi

GM: Hello Lorie

mharmon1 (Talwin): Pff, no. Should I? Yes. Did I research, No. Had a bit of a rough week unfortuantely.

GM: And so that is why Talwin will have questions

MadamePsychosis: Hi Spring and Lorie! :)

LemonyLemon: Ok, Knotty is fixed but is he "fixed"?

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

GM: Yes ?

GM: grins

LorieD (Licornah): (evening all)

seyfert (Raelynn): Hi Lorie!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hi Lorie!

Springity Thingity: hi Lorie! hi Lemon! hi Michael! hi BOB!

GM: Michael I just wanted to give you the chance for a short conversation before arriving in front of other NPC residents etc

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hi Spring :)

Springity Thingity: did i get everybody!

GM: Carissa

LorieD (Licornah): (Just to confirm, I should be looking at a black map?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah okay. Here, let me know if this is a good start...

seyfert (Raelynn): shhhhh

GM: When you click on your character you shoudl see the ship and docks

Talwin: Hey Howard, anything I should know about Borts beach? Or just be normal and ready for anything?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Anyone feel free to give me the TL;DR Version.

LemonyLemon: Ok, I just need to share this. So parents brought in a TON of snacks for the teachers this week, and everyone took some stuff home, but I'm the last one leaving, and also I don't care, so I generally just take whatever's left. For some reason no one wanted an almost full box of speculaas cookies, so that's allll mine

LemonyLemon: Ok, now I'm ready to play

GM: Nice Lemon

Howard Plum: It's a nice small port town with the interesting inn I spoke of. I don't think precautions are necessary

Talwin: Thanks Howard!

mharmon1 (Talwin): And done

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm caught up

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

GM: and for anyone when you step onto the docks you will see what Talwin sees, if you click on his token

mharmon1 (Talwin): Didn't know FG did that. Huh

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Why can't I see what Talwin sees when I'm his sword?

Raelynn: I see land!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Because you are a sword???

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

LorieD (Licornah): (Congrats on the cookie haul Lemon!!)

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): That's a totally bs reason!

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Thanks Lorie!

GM: Just to be clear Michael feels he is ready to land and talk to the locals

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): good luck!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob, as close as I can. I'll play it cool and not cause problems

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thanks LIsa :)

GM: grins

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Why do I feel like the way you said "feels" indicates that is he not, in fact, ready for such event

LorieD (Licornah): (Are the locals of a sort that he should need more time?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not from what I gathered from Howard. Seems like a small port with an interesting inn?

Talwin: Anyways. With that in mind.

LorieD (Licornah): (Good luck, don't die, but if you do, can I have your stuff? :: laughs and I'm kidding :: )

Talwin: Groans in relief

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): What kind of "interesting" are we talking?

Talwin: Dry land

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): I'm not kidding, I actually want your stuff if you die.

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Also that is funny. LOL(

Talwin: Looks Around

Harbor Master : Hello there

Talwin: Seeing the Harbor Master, brightern

Talwin: Good Evening Sir

Talwin: How might you be this fine evening?

Zayden: Hello!

Harbor Master : I am good

Harbor Master : It has been a good holiday

Talwin: Sighs

Nods at your ship

Talwin: Unfortuantely we missed the celebration

seyfert (Raelynn): + boat

Talwin: Crestfallen

Zayden: Love a good holiday

Harbor Master : Looks like you are sailing the Buttercup?

Raelynn: You call Bixi's amazing feast missing it?

Talwin: Raises eyebrows

Talwin: Indeed we are

Talwin: Is this ship notorious

Talwin: Winks

Harbor Master : What happend to old Jermaine?

Talwin: Jermaine?

Talwin: Puzzled

Talwin: Looks to Howard

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Yeah no, that feast was perfect

Talwin: You know a Jermaine?

Howard Plum: We rented it from her

Talwin: Nods

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): Jolain

Lanek: [d12 = 3]

Talwin: Thank you Lisa. So confused

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): Bob got the name wrong or the harbor master did

springdew (Lanek): pls ignore

GM: He said what he said

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh good god

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): at least that is what I'm going with

Raelynn: We did?

Talwin: I'm afraid I don't know a Jermaine. I know a Jolain that we rented the vessel from

Talwin: Cocks head

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Jorlene

Talwin: Sorry, not quite sure if they are the same, but their name sounds similar enough

Harbor Master : Nods,

Talwin: We have the agreements if you need to see them

Talwin: Don't want to cause any trouble

Harbor Master : That would be a good thing

Talwin: Points to Zayden

Harbor Master : Would not like to call the sheriff for more pirates

Zayden: points to self

Zayden: what me?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I think we could convince him

Harbor Master : He would be pretty angry to be woken up again

Talwin: Zayden, would you knindly grab our agreements? for the harbor master?

Talwin: Please?

Lanek: smirks

Zayden: Oh sure

Talwin: Surprised, turns back to the Harbor Master

Zayden: I totally know where they are

Talwin: Pirates?

Zayden goes to grab the agreements from the buttercup

Harbor Master : The Buttercup is a pretty ship

Talwin: Nods

Harbor Master : she has sailed the river for several years

Zayden returns with the agreements

Talwin: She has done well with all the challenges we've faced.

Takes the from Zayden

Raelynn: Pirates? Really? Do we look like pirates?

Talwin: I can't quite believe all that she's gone through. We had to stop a couple of times for repairs. This river is not the friendliest

springdew (Lanek): hahahahahaha

Talwin: Rolls eyes, but keeps an easy smile

Zayden: Arrrhh

Harbor Master : Points to Youtargim and Raelynn you two look a bit rakeish

Zayden: matey

Talwin: Sighs

Raelynn: WHAT?

Raelynn: Excuse you?!

Talwin: I'll bet pirates don't pay the harbor fee though

Daphene -> Raelynn: Isn't Yout a pirate?

Lanek: looks offended

Harbor Master : Heh He looks like a hanger on, nods to Zayden, perhaps a minstrel ?

Raelynn -> Daphene: Yes but I AM NOT

Zayden: Excellent point Talwin

Talwin: May I ask how much the docking fee is? I'll fetch the payment

Lanek: hmph. THEY look rakish

Talwin: I dont' want to be confused with Pirates

Daphene -> Raelynn: Yeah, but you're like, his consort or whatever

Zayden: A sexy minstrel

Talwin: Pointedly at the gang

Zayden smiles

Talwin: Grumbles as he accepts the agreement copy from Zayden and passes to the Harbormaster

Raelynn -> Daphene: I'm sorry?! I am a PERSON. If we were everything a thing, he would be mine. Not the other way around!

Harbor Master : How long are you staying? and do you need any supplies?

seyfert (Raelynn): lol Zayden

GM: The answer is yes, you need a crane for Knotty

Raelynn: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 13]

Harbor Master : Very excellent

Talwin: Shakes head. Not to long I'd imagine, unless you feel that we might be able to help fend off some pirates

Talwin: Winks

Raelynn: combs her fingers through her hair angrily

Harbor Master : Hands the papers back to Talwin

Talwin: Otherwise, I was told an interesting inn is in this port

Sune Sjögren: I am Sune, what is your name sir?

Talwin: I'd hoped to maybe stay there with my friends

Talwin: I am Talwin, a pleasure to meet you Sune

Daphene -> Raelynn: Whoa, it's a mutual term, not implying some kind of ownership or whatever you are thinking. I just meant you're like, together. People will think you're priatey by association

Zayden: Beautiful name Sune

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: We are far from home

Talwin: But the names get better

Talwin: laughs

Zayden also laughs

Zayden: i agree Tal

Raelynn -> Daphene: Ugh! We can talk about this later!

Talwin: We mean it nicely sir. No offense meant.

Daphene: rolls eyes

Talwin: The father we go, the more things change

Bixi Fizzlebang: Do they have a crane!?

Zayden: Oh i was being 100% genuine, Sune is a beautiful name I haven't heard before

Talwin: Sighs again.

Talwin: We need to make that thing into Bacon

Talwin: mutter

Talwin: I hate to ask, but can we also rent a crane?

Indigo: Bacon?

Talwin: If there si one available?

Zayden: whispers to Talwin: Don't let Bixi hear ya

Sune Sjögren: You have cargo to offload? of course we can arrange that

Talwin: Why, she going to be worse then she already is?

Talwin: Mutters back

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We need a crane, we need a crane. To get the hefty pig off the ship again. To make him safe, it's gonna take, a metal claw hung from a... wait... I just realized the flaw in that song.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ouch

Talwin: Just a really large boar. I apologize for the hassel

Raelynn: She's got glitter lotion now.

Matias Bøhn: Ahh, I can do't

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And so does the entire ship

Bixi Fizzlebang: He's tame and fixed!

Talwin: Good Evening to you too Sir

Matias Bøhn: Yu need slauterng tooo?

Talwin: Unfortuantely...no. This is a....pet?

Matias Bøhn: Will cost ya

Bixi Fizzlebang: Excuse you, he is my noble steed!

Raelynn: mutters maybe the harbor master

Matias Bøhn: A wha?

Talwin: A......

Talwin: ah

Lanek: (LINK)

Talwin: We aren't eating it

Talwin: I guess is the easiest way to put it

Matias Bøhn: Shrugs, Can getcha done

Sune Sjögren: Sir Talwin you said you were looking for a friend?

Talwin: If that means no harm will come to it, then....yes?

Talwin: Turns back to Sune

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yes to the link, but a crane isn't a wrecking ball and now I'm not sure if it's extremely clever and I'm dumb, or just a lyrics thing

Talwin: Actually an Inn. Unless you know of a legendary swordsmaster

Talwin: But I have yet to find one, so, the inn was recommended to me

Talwin: Supposedly it's...interesting. But that's all the information I have on it

Sune Sjögren: No legends around these parts

Talwin: Nods

Sune Sjögren: Unless you mean Bort

Licornah -> Bixi Fizzlebang: I can more or less teleport him off, but can't guarantee the spell will be up the day we reboard the boat....

Sune Sjögren: He is more a character than a legend

springdew (Lanek): i'm just presuming they need the crane to hang the wrecking ball from

Talwin: So...Bort is a legend?

Talwin: Character? How so?

Sune Sjögren: The elf this place is named after

mharmon1 (Talwin): Knotty is a wrecking ball

Howard Plum: He was a real person

Sune Sjögren: Is a real person

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Licornah: The crane should be ok, but I appreciate that offer! I might need to take you up on it in the future

Talwin: Okay

Licornah -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Okay... I try to use it sparingly, BOB tends to remove overused gifts :)

Howard Plum: he is still alive?

Talwin: Is he known for great deeds? Or just been around so long that the port grew up around him?

Howard Plum: Ohh ... elves

Sune Sjögren: TO hear him tell it he has always lived

Sune Sjögren: Nah back in the old times he built this place back up from the ruins

Talwin: Ah, so there are ruins beneathe the Port?

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Licornah: Lol, yes, let's not anger the gods

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not that that sounds ominious or anythi8ngz

Licornah -> Bixi Fizzlebang: :D

Sune Sjögren: Looks quixically at Talwin

Sune Sjögren: You really are not from anywhere near here are you?

Talwin: Clarifies

Licornah: Are there temples here for Elven deities?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ancient burial grounds!?

Bixi Fizzlebang: test

Talwin: Not anywhere near here at all sir

-> Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes I can see all of those. grins

Talwin: This is all new to me

Talwin: Shrugs

Sune Sjögren: When the Grey Death swept through the world?

Talwin: I try to stay out of trouble and learn what I can

Bixi Fizzlebang: If the special thing the sword is going to be is that it's going to be freed from the sword and become another character I have to play, I am NOT ready for that

Zayden: Eleven deities?

Talwin: I do know about the Grey Dath

Talwin: But from books, not really people

-> Bixi Fizzlebang: I promise to not do that to you

Sune Sjögren: the time before last

Bixi Fizzlebang: thank you

Talwin: Little

Talwin: I suppose

Sune Sjögren: Well Bort lived through both times

Sune Sjögren: We all lived through this last time

Sune Sjögren: well

Talwin: leans in

Sune Sjögren: Looks at Daphene and Indigo and Bixi, .... You look like youngins

Sune Sjögren: But we did

Talwin: Smiles

Talwin: Indigo how old are you?

Talwin: Looking pretty spry are you?

Raelynn: You can't just ask someone their age, Talwin!

Talwin: Why not?

Talwin: Looks baffled?

Talwin: Shrugs

Talwin: Well it seems Bort and the population lived through it I guess

Talwin: That's good to hear

Talwin: Smiles

Sune Sjögren: Again looks puzzled, about half the town died

Bixi Fizzlebang: Excuse me, I am the Story Teller!

Zayden: good to live through things

Zayden: better than the alternative

Talwin: I thought you said the last time it passed you by?

Sune Sjögren: OH a real story teller?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Obviously old enough to get a super cool title.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes, but I don't work on demand

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No more shows please

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can't

Talwin: Bixi! Come down here and say hello! You are much better at conversation then I am

Sune Sjögren: I said that two times ago, when the Grey Death swept through it killed the entire town,

GM: grins, see the Borts Beach page

mharmon1 (Talwin): "We all lived through this last time"

Raelynn: It's been a long ride. He's probably just tired and in need of a meal? We all are.

Sune Sjögren: Bort built the town after that

mharmon1 (Talwin): Did I misread that? Or???

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm going to stop talking here

Bixi Fizzlebang: joins Talwin

Talwin: Not great at this

Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello, what's the trouble?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): sorry - was adding items to character sheet

GM: He said that yes, that does not mean that the town did not have anyone die, he said 50% of the town died

Indigo: I'm 37!

Indigo: Not old

Shislif (Zayden): brb refill

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob, I know english is finickiy, but I honestly thought when you said that, it literally meant the plague swept by the town. That does happen.

mharmon1 (Talwin): But ok.

mharmon1 (Talwin): So Talwin has committed a faux pax. Bixi, take it away. Let me know when I can pay

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): you didn't do anything wrong

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I didn't notice anything particularly bad?

mharmon1 (Talwin): No, just don't want to be more confused then I am. Got the jist I think

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): so many plagues!

mharmon1 (Talwin): If we want to go on a Bort adventure let me know :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Otherwise, to the Inn and dealing with the Boar

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): sounds good to me

Talwin: No trouble Bixi, you just are better at speaking then I am.

Talwin: Turns back to Harbormaster

GM: 20 years ago the Grey Death swept through here, killing 50% of the town, over 200 years ago the Grey Death killed 100% of the town and Bort rebuilt it

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well, I mean, I AM the Story Teller after all

Talwin: Let me know what we owe you and I will see to it that you are paid promptly.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Wow, sounds like he's quite a guy! Starting from nothing. Good job Bort!

Talwin: I'm not good with conversaiton as you can tell

Talwin: Smiles good naturedyl

Sune Sjögren: Nods

Talwin: Turns to the Ship to help with Unloading

Bixi Fizzlebang: Can we pay respects somewhere?

Indigo: so if Bort is in town we might actually meet an old elf!

Sune Sjögren: We have the ship, no worries on payment right now,

Talwin: Snorts

Talwin: I suppose that's true enough

Talwin: Grins

Sune Sjögren: I guess you will be staying at Mona's

Sune Sjögren: She has the best inn

Shislif (Zayden): back

Talwin: Turns to Howard

Talwin: Does that ring a bell Howard?

Talwin: That inn?

Howard Plum: Is that the inn that holds all of Bort's curios?

Zayden: if it's the best, it's good enough for me

Howard Plum: I don't recall the name of it exactly

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Does the Harbormaster hear our conversation, or do I need to relay)

Sune Sjögren: Oh nah that is a different one, Borts Inn

Talwin: Nods brightly

Talwin: That one then is the one I was recommended

Talwin: Smiles

Sune Sjögren: Neredras Inn is where you want to stay

Raelynn: What's the difference between Mona's and Bort's Inn?

Raelynn: Er and Neredras?

Talwin: Visibly Confused

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oooh, like a museum?

Sune Sjögren: Mona Neredras is her name, real food

Raelynn: Aj

Raelynn: *Ah

Raelynn: And Bort's isn't real food...?

Sune Sjögren: Well if you like those hard to find greens I suppose

Raelynn: brightens up

Talwin: Smiles

Sune Sjögren: with that special sauce you have to shake up just right

Sune Sjögren: I want a good steak

Sune Sjögren: Or lamb chop

Indigo: Me too!

Raelynn: Oh! I always like a good salad.

Talwin: Well we have elves in our group, so they will enjoy it. I will fantasize that I could get a steak

Lanek: nods

Talwin: Stomach Grumbles

Lanek: although ... some of each?

Raelynn: It's okay, Talwin. I'll get some at home later.

Talwin: Shrugs

Talwin: It serves to purposes Rae, doesn't bother me none

Matias Bøhn: Culd getcha pork chops

Talwin: Tries desperatly not to snicker at Matias comment

Licornah: :: holds breath ::

Indigo: We can stay anywhere and visit the other places

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: We could do that too

Raelynn: You're the visitors. Pick where you'd prefer.

Talwin: And you aren't?

Raelynn: Um, no? Glitter in your ears? I grew up in Dryads Lair.

Raelynn: Just... never visited here.

Talwin: Looks scornfully. When was the last time you got to pick the location?

GM: grins with Michael, see I said you had time to chat before getting on the docks

Talwin: Rolls eyes

Talwin: Try to do something nice

Bixi Fizzlebang: Where can I house a boar where he will be safe and not slaughtered?

Raelynn: shrugs

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Trust me, it wouldn't have done any good.)

Matias Bøhn: Tak cha to Monas

Matias Bøhn: Tak et too

Raelynn: whispers, "You can always stay at Borts tomorrow if you don't like Monas"

Sune Sjögren: Take them along Matias, about time to light the lamps

Talwin: Nods gratefully. Thanks for all your advice

Talwin: Smiles

Raelynn: Except on appearances...

Raelynn: hmph

Matias Bøhn: Et cha her for?

Talwin: A quick rest before continueing down river

Raelynn: He's gotta find some weapons master or something or another.

Indigo: points at Talwin

Matias Bøhn: Looks Talwin up and down, Wha Typ o Weapon

Talwin: Two handed weaponry.

Talwin: Pats Reven fondly

Talwin: Pats Reven fondly

Matias Bøhn: Pulls out two daggers and waves them around

Raelynn: He *really* loves his sowrd.

Matias Bøhn: Ahhhh

Matias Bøhn: Ta

Matias Bøhn: Swrds ar ech

Matias Bøhn: Too long

Indigo: laughs

Matias Bøhn: Short and up clse

Talwin: Yeah...but if you get them to hit, they do well with monsters

Talwin: Isn't that right friends?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Whoa, watch where you're patting there, buddy

Raelynn: And giants. I suppose.

Matias Bøhn: JABS forward with a dagger into the air, quick in and out three times

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): what, you got your own sword you worried about?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: One day, maybe.

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: A sword can dream

Indigo: You're pretty good there!

Talwin: You are fast, I'll give you that

Talwin: Nods appreciatively

Matias Bøhn: I her ther a mastr at Dragon

Talwin: Pauses with complete seriousness

Talwin: Dragon? For two handed weaponry?

Talwin: Or for Daggers?

GM: Gently takes Michael and SHAKES him

seyfert (Raelynn): (dragon fen?)

GM: grins

GM: No look at the map or at the Story Arc page

seyfert (Raelynn): drakes head

GM: and Rae and Howard can clue Talwin in on what it looks like

mharmon1 (Talwin): GAHHH. I'll just pull up the site. Someone take the helm for a few minutes

seyfert (Raelynn): just tossing things out without thinking, ignore me

GM: and yes to Carissa for almost taking the bait on the weapon master in Dragon Fen but no, would not do that

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): not sure about a dragon

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

GM: I think everyone would kill me

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

seyfert (Raelynn): I won't deny that

Raelynn: Drakeshead...?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Pff, I AM a weapons master in Dragons Fen. Just not the highest level

Matias Bøhn: Aeee Dragon I sid

Raelynn: Oh. Maybe that's who you're looking for, Talwin? It's not too far from here.

Howard Plum: The lighthouse

Talwin: Nods

Matias Bøhn: Sem masterie persn other talk bot

Talwin: Not really understanding, but knowing that apparently the other compauions have caught on

Talwin: Not really understanding, but knowing that apparently the other compauions have caught on

Raelynn: It's a good place to start looking.

Matias Bøhn: Well her te be

Raelynn: A bit... draconish, but well, you know.

Matias Bøhn: Mona hep ye

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thanks Mister Matias

Talwin: Thanks Mister Matias

Mona Neredras: Looks out at the banging

Mona Neredras: Matias Bohn, you get your ham fists away from my door

Mona Neredras: What are you doing away from the docks, the lights needs lighting

Mona Neredras: If another ship wrecks you will not hear the last from me you hear!

Matias Bøhn: BAH

Raelynn: Hello, mam. She was showing us to your inn as we need a place to stay and food tonight.

Mona Neredras: Looks at your group

Mona Neredras: My My you have been on a ship for too long to call Matia a she

Raelynn: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 7]

Mona Neredras: I am so sorry for you my dear

Raelynn: feels prettier after getting her hair tamed

Indigo: laughs

Mona Neredras: come in and get something to eat

Mona Neredras: we can fix you up

seyfert (Raelynn): (she was to Mona)

Raelynn: Thank you.

Mona Neredras: So where are you folks from?

Mona Neredras: Adventurers I take it

Mona Neredras: here to see the big city?

Mona Neredras: Have lots of loot to try to sell off?

Talwin: Smiles, We hail from Dragon's Fen. Branwyns Estate

Talwin: Not this time

Mona Neredras: Never heard of that

Talwin: Nods

Mona Neredras: Where in Terraguard is that?

Raelynn: South in the Mist.

Howard Plum: Drillian

Mona Neredras: WHAT!

Raelynn: A week's walk from Loosend about?

Mona Neredras: You are vampires!

Howard Plum: smiles

Howard Plum: Not quite

Talwin: Cocks head

Raelynn: First I'm a pirate. Now I'm a vampire. Do none of you have eyes??

Talwin: Not that I'm aware?

Mona Neredras: You make a lovely pirate dear

Talwin: Bursts out laughing at Raelynn's remark

Howard Plum: The vampires would not travel this far

Raelynn: I'm a Priestess of Love! Not a pirate!

Mona Neredras: That is a good thing

Mona Neredras: Stealing hearts I see

Raelynn: sighs

Mona Neredras: Looks around the group and nods to Youtargim

Raelynn: I give up.

Mona Neredras: His eyes give it away

Mona Neredras: Oh no dear, never give it away, whispers to Rae

Raelynn: Well that's nothing new. I've done that for years.

Raelynn: Oh?

Mona Neredras: Her jaw drops a bit listening to that

Howard Plum: coughs

Mona Neredras: Come Come Come

Mona Neredras: how many rooms are you needing?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Im operating on so much different ways to take this conversation, that I'm going to excuse mysefl

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): lol

Raelynn: Too much to hope for one for each of us? We can bunk, too, I suppose.

Mona Neredras: I have two singles and one double, and of course the great room, only three others in there now

Mona Neredras: You can decide after the wine

Talwin: I cant take the great room if you would like some proper rest.

Howard Plum: We can take the 3 please

Mona Neredras: Sit

Mona Neredras: sit

Raelynn: I could certainly use some wine.

Hustles off to the back to get food and drinks for the group

Talwin: I could certainly use something after this last conversation

Talwin: Mumbles to himself

Raelynn: You need to join Girls' Watch sometime, Talwin. Get better tolerance for it.

Youtargim: I am uncertain of what being a pirate means here,

Zayden: did somebody say 'wine'?

Raelynn: Yes!

Talwin: Yes, but no asking for magical identifications this time

Indigo: Do you have ale?

Zayden: Fine

Licornah: We should have grapes and make our own wine. Would make a good side business

Youtargim: I thoguht you needed to have hills for grapes ?

Talwin: If we can grow it in the estate, I would gladly fund such a venture Licornah

Raelynn: You saw how those humans reacted to the pirate bugbears, Yout. And the harbor master. So doesn't mean much good.

Talwin: It would provide an excellent revenue stream for the estate if you could find a way to grow them reliably

Zayden: making wine in a beautiful estate? Sounds like a nice retirement plan

Talwin: INterested deeply in Licornah's remark

Youtargim: But then Sune and Mona both seem to just accept it?

Licornah: Hills are not necessary, only good soil.

Talwin: Shakes head sadly

Raelynn: shrugs

Talwin: Licornah, the soil is not....good

GM: BRB have to refill and empty as you discuss food and sleeping arrangements

Talwin: We can grow some basic crops, but that's it

Talwin: We mine so we can trade

Talwin: But if you find a way to turn the soil good, you let me know. I'll gladly personnally fund a vineyard if you can figure it out

Talwin: It would be good for the estate

Raelynn: It's the sunlight, silly. Not the soil.

Raelynn: You don't get the sunlight needed.

Talwin: And I can write it off as a business expense...

Indigo: That's just the wastes

Talwin: Shrugs

Talwin: It's both Raelynn

Talwin: We tried growing before. The soil just isn't that great

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): What can you grow in a swamp?

seyfert (Raelynn): Alligators

Indigo: What can you grow in a swamp?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (pythons)

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

LorieD (Licornah): (we should steal some of the soil near the river bed and use that, I grew up around grape vineyards, no extra sunlight needed)

seyfert (Raelynn): Ugh Rae doesn't have the background to answer here

Zayden: Even if the wine turns out bad we could just sell it as budget wine, i'm sure there's a market for that

Raelynn: You can make wine from more than grapes.

GM: back

Talwin: Thoughtfully strokes chin

Raelynn: Oh! Maybe put it in boxes to save money on bottles. You might be on to something, Zayden.,

LorieD (Licornah): (VINEGAR or Jelly / Jam)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Lorie you sohould say that out loud)

Indigo: That's why I like ale. Simple stuff

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Talwin is seriously considering it if we can make it work)

Zayden: Great idea Rae! Boxes gotta be cheaper than bottles too

Raelynn: Faewine is good, too.

Talwin: If you know a way to accomplish this, I will fund it

Talwin: Hammers hand on table excitedly

Raelynn: And you can't have street fights if your wine is in a box. Much harder to stab someone with it.

Talwin: Hammers hand on table excitedly

Zayden: Fair fair

Talwin: Looks at Raeylnn baffled

Talwin: Looks at Raeylnn baffled

Talwin: What?

Raelynn: Hmm? Oh Zayden and I were talking about better ways to transport wine.

Adelbert Osten: Ah Mona my dear, a double round of ale and a bowl of stew please He calls loudly to the back as he approaches your table

Adelbert Osten: Who here is the story teller?

Indigo: Think Raelynn wants to go all piratey and break a bottle and stab someone with it

Raelynn: points to Bixi

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): That would be me!

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): fudge

Bixi Fizzlebang: That would be me!

Raelynn: At this rate, maybe Indigo...

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Rae is such a rebel these days

Indigo: laughs

seyfert (Raelynn): who knew??

Adelbert Osten: So you owe me fair market value if your boar harms any of my flock

Mona Neredras: OH no she does not

Indigo: Like you said. Can't do that with a box

Raelynn: laughs

Bixi Fizzlebang: That sounds fair to me

Mona Neredras: Actual market value

Mona Neredras: You listen to me young lady, do not let him trick you with that

Raelynn: Flock of what? Geese? Sheep? Horses?

Mona Neredras: prices just tripled because of some bugbear pirates

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Um, side note, for BOB, my klooge apparently used to have talk to animals or speak with animals or whatever but my FG does not

Talwin: Why is the boar, in a place where it can cause damage

Mona Neredras: His sheep are good but not worth the market rate

Raelynn: Oh! We saved some of those sheep!

Adelbert Osten: What people will pay is what the market will be

Adelbert Osten: OH!

Adelbert Osten: I will buy them off of you

Adelbert Osten: Actual market value

Adelbert Osten: Like she said

Raelynn: Well we gave them back to their humans.

Adelbert Osten: Ahhh

Adelbert Osten: Well cheers that was well done of you

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, we wouldn't charge for them if we still had them, though. Those are yours, friend

Adelbert Osten: Thank you Story Teller

Adelbert Osten: So I hear you want to go out to Drakeshead?

Adelbert Osten: Looking for new stories?

Talwin: Looking for a Weapons Master

Talwin: More like

Talwin: Smiles

Adelbert Osten: Ahhh Alexandria you are looking for

Adelbert Osten: Good luck with that

Talwin: Thanks

Adelbert Osten: How many fingers you still have?

Indigo: Why?

Talwin: All of them?

Adelbert Osten: Might help

Talwin: Good to Know?

Talwin: Why, does Alexandria have a bad reputation?

Adelbert Osten: Had a group in ohhhh three months ago? three of them, only one came back

Talwin: With less fingers I'm guessing?

Adelbert Osten: A big group like this? at least half of you should be good

Raelynn: eyes Talwin

Talwin: Wait wait. I'm going for training, not killing off compatriots

Talwin: Turns to group

Talwin: I'll go alone

Talwin: My god

Adelbert Osten: OH she already agreed to train you?

Talwin: Shakes head

Lanek: shrugs

Talwin: Nope

Adelbert Osten: Congratulations

Indigo: No no. We're good

Talwin: Never met her

Adelbert Osten: Oh

Talwin: But I'll find a way

Adelbert Osten: well then take a lot of friends

Talwin: Usually do

Talwin: Er, may I ask why? Is she...overtly hostile or sometiung?

Lanek: seems like unannounced visiters aint welcome

Adelbert Osten: From what I hear she has a high price for her skills

Talwin: Sighs

Adelbert Osten: Points to Lanek

Indigo: I had to try and hit my sword master before she would train me. Got her on the first go! She wasn't happy right then but she trained me

Adelbert Osten: see the wise old man knows

Talwin: That's it Indog?

Lanek: snorts

Adelbert Osten: Impressed young Hin

Indigo: Well mine

Talwin: Indigo

Indigo: Hoffman's weapons master made him get him a tulip

Adelbert Osten: Never had much need for more than a staff and a sling

Daphene: nods in agreement

Adelbert Osten: minor knife works

Daphene: Lanek IS very wise

Talwin: Well, we'll have to evaulate when we get there, but no amount of friends will FORCE someone to train them. That seems...counterproductive

Lanek: rolls eyes and turns away

Adelbert Osten: I can take you there in the morning

Talwin: Brightens

Talwin: Really? That would be very kind of you!

Adelbert Osten: It is a good half day walk we can get there and back before dark

Adelbert Osten: so you can go back home

Adelbert Osten: If she lets you

Indigo: Do you just want to see him fight?

Talwin: Shakes head. I wont' go back home until I've gottent what I've come for. If I don't, then home won't matter anyways...because I'll be dead and It won't be my problem anymore

Adelbert Osten: I have my flock here waiting on a ship

Adelbert Osten: Might as well make a coin or three for escorting strangers

Indigo: smiles

Adelbert Osten: 20 copper for the trip

Indigo: Easy enough

Adelbert Osten: Good man

Talwin: Grins good naturedly.

Indigo: And an another ale to finish off that stew?

Adelbert Osten: Ahhh Mona you make the best stew in town

Talwin: Is that "Fair market value? Or actual market value?"

Mona Neredras: The only stew in town and you know it Bert

Adelbert Osten: grins

Adelbert Osten: Points his spoon at Talwin,

Adelbert Osten: See now you are thinking

Talwin: Waves hand.

Adelbert Osten: Any other questions for me?

Adelbert Osten: I will meet you here in the morning first thing

Adelbert Osten: be ready to walk

Adelbert Osten: ummm,

Zayden: soooo... wine?

Adelbert Osten: looks at Bixi and Indigo

Adelbert Osten: We will be moving pretty fast

Indigo: I walk faster than I look!

Adelbert Osten: Do you want to stay here?

Talwin: Bixi will probably be riding a boar knowing her

Talwin: Indigo is fast

Talwin: I wouldn't worry unless

Indigo: Not sure about Daphene

Talwin: Frowns

Adelbert Osten: She is with you?

Indigo: yes. She's a ranger

Adelbert Osten: I thought she was a shepardess

Raelynn: What? She doesn't look like she is?

Adelbert Osten: [d20 = 19]

Adelbert Osten: Sorry miss, not any kind of ranger I have seen

Mona Neredras: Brings out a second bottle of wine

Indigo: Yeah she talks more than most rangers I've met

Raelynn: You've seen many?

Mona Neredras: Takes away the plates and bowls

Daphene: I'm not a very good ranger

Shislif (Zayden): bio break brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Mona Neredras: Don't worry dear, you will learn and be a good one soon

Indigo: Yeah!

Raelynn: nods

Talwin: Stays away from the second wine, but nods politely

Adelbert Osten: The sheriff tends to have rangers working for her

Raelynn: Maybe N'laea has tips. Um, if she's in a good mood when you meet her.

Adelbert Osten: Good to meet you folks

Indigo: is the sheriff nice?

Adelbert Osten: See you in the morning

Indigo: Goodnight!

Adelbert Osten: Old Battlescar? she is decent

GM: and you are left to your group

Raelynn: Huh?

Indigo: That's her name?

Licornah: :: stands :: If you will excuse me, I'm going to commune with my deity

GM: Adelbert heads out for the night

Raelynn: The sheriff's name is Old Battlescar?

GM: Mona is off cleaning

Indigo: That's a not so nice name

GM: the great room has several bedrolls along the wall

GM: and you can pick who sleeps with who

Raelynn: We'll, um, ask her name when we see her before calling her that.

Talwin: I'm fine sleeping in the Great Room

Indigo: grins

Indigo: Good idea!

GM: for bookkeeping 1 gold for the evening for room and board

Talwin: Passes the money over with thanks

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): We took two singles and a double. A gnome and halfling fit in a single? :)

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Talwin needs his rest he should get the single and then who ever wants to double up ...

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sure, I'll take the single.

mharmon1 (Talwin): I don't want to hold us up over the bed situation though lol

seyfert (Raelynn): same whateves works

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): good

GM: and any minor discussions on what to expect, heading out in the morning, etc. plot out a bit of your potential conversations

GM: This is all just quick OOC to create things to roleplay with

Raelynn: Talwin, are you going to bring this Alexandria any... gift or something? Maybe? Put her in a good mood?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): rae and Yout ready for that or maye just Lanek and Zayden :)

GM: such as Indigo and Daphene sleeping together

seyfert (Raelynn): lmao she is not

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I was thinking Bixi and Daphene ...

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob, what conversation planning can I do with a potentially hostile trainer. I'm goign to ahve to see what this person is like first...

seyfert (Raelynn): she's always annoyed at being called rackish

GM: grins

LorieD (Licornah): (I did not join the LOVE BOAT BOB)

GM: what Carissa just mention

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): LOL

GM: and LOL with Lorie

seyfert (Raelynn): Don't worry, it's aship not a boat. It's a Love Ship. For shipping people.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): should have been with us on the gypsy love boat boat way back. everyone was getting busy

GM: and did you check out the page on Drakeshead Michael

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): except Indigo :(

GM: and Yes to Carissa

seyfert (Raelynn): :(

Raelynn: You could bring her glitter. I still have some left for making lotion.

mharmon1 (Talwin): NO

mharmon1 (Talwin): I will NOW do that

Raelynn: Oh! Or glitter lotion! It turned out so well.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): so Talwin gets a room and the ladies take the other two and the men get the bedrolls in the common room?

seyfert (Raelynn): sure

Raelynn: looks around and realizes she's talking to herself

LemonyLemon (Daphene): I mean, Daph IS very impressed by the famous Indigo, but she also left home because she didn't want to get saddled with some dude, so...

Indigo: I don't think two handed sword masters want people giving them glitter

Shislif (Zayden): back

Lanek: that's an assumption

Raelynn: I try not to judge or make assumptions.

Lanek: ha

mharmon1 (Talwin): That was a short entry on a lighthouse, but I guess I got it all

Raelynn: Exactly, Lanek.

mharmon1 (Talwin): So...yes

Indigo: Okay. Can I watch when you try it?

Raelynn: It's something at least unless Talwin has other ideas.

GM: smiles with Michael that is the idea, short travel entries to make you curious

Lanek: maybe i want glitter

Lanek: i don't but i MIGHT

Raelynn: Oh! Do you? I have some lotion still...

Raelynn: Oh...

Raelynn: Are you sure? Here, stick out your arm. Maybe it'll look good on you.

Indigo: You're not a famous swordsmaster that is rumored to kill potential trainees

Raelynn: Howard already turned it out, but maybe you won't.

Raelynn: No, no. He said two didn't return. But not why they didn't return. Maybe they loved it there? Maybe they fell in love with her? We don't know!

Indigo: snorts

Indigo: This should be fun

Talwin: Yeah, If this turns out to be too ridiculous, I have no problem not training with her guys. It's not worth hurting you guys or permanently maiming myself. I don't mind putting in the work, but I won't let this be a one all, be all type of thing

mharmon1 (Talwin): That was all IC

Zayden: I agree it's not worth hurting us!

Indigo: She's not going to hurt us

Raelynn: It's appreciated.

Indigo: We'll hurt her if she tries

Talwin: Shrugs

Bixi Fizzlebang: Zayden needs all his fingers for instruments. I can write without a pinky if it comes down to it

Raelynn: What if she asks for Reven, Talwin? Is it worth it?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Not my first choice but...

Talwin: She'll get some of us if she's a legend of this caliber. Besides, she might have her own friends

Zayden: True, but do you WANT to write without a pinky?

Talwin: Oh god Raelynn, please don't tempt me

Raelynn: laughs

Bixi Fizzlebang: No, but if it means Talwin will stop annoying me, it might be worth it

GM: To be fair, Indigo got EXTREMELY lucky on his training mission, and John's character traipsed through the Mist looking for a special tulip with the entire group, so it is expected that you will get help to solve your mission Michael

Raelynn: Wow, I didn't know your love was so fickle!

Talwin: Nah, but it's a good threat if Reven gets too far out of hand

Talwin: Pats Reven fondly

Talwin: Pats Reven fondly

Raelynn: shakes head

Raelynn: I worry about you.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Like... it's hard to be mean to someone who sacrificed a finger for you

Talwin: Yeah, me too

Raelynn: smiles

Raelynn: Well, I'll bring some lotion. You all can decide if you have something worthwhile if it's needed.

GM: and Bixi Quote

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I also worry about you, but not for the same reasons the fluffy one means

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): yes

Raelynn: Maybe ale?

Indigo: No sense worrying about it until we find out what she wants

Indigo: It's only half day's walk, right?

Raelynn: I was thinking more along the lines of good etiquette.

Talwin: Nods

Daphene: I'm sure the Story Teller and the King's Bounder and the wise Lanek can take care of any problems!

Raelynn: [SKILL] Etiquette [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 6]

Licornah: :: praying for the success of Talwin's mission and looking for inspriration to create a vineyard ::

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOLOLOL

Raelynn: You bring gifts to people who host you, important people, that kind of stuff.

Raelynn: Wise Lanek doesn't... quite have the same ring as the other two names.

GM: 12 miles by path/road from Borts Beach to Drakeshead

GM: Humans can walk 24 miles in a day

GM: Halfling and Gnomes can walk 12

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Indigo's movement is 9

GM: Indigo is 18

LemonyLemon (Daphene): bixi has a pony

mharmon1 (Talwin): Should we arrange for a horse or?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): where did she get a pony?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can Knotty pull a little wagon?

seyfert (Raelynn): boar

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yes, sorry, holdover from other games where I call every mount a pony

GM: Laughs with LIsa

seyfert (Raelynn): Bixi rides Knotty, Knotty pulls a wagon for Indigo and Daphene?

GM: Knotty has never pulled a wagon before

GM: wink

Shislif (Zayden): lol not sure Bixi would appreciate that

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Like when you can ride dragons and also ostriches or whatever, and the word "mount" is instatly turned dirty every time, you just start saying pony

seyfert (Raelynn): ehhh how hard could it be?

seyfert (Raelynn): Mush, Knotty! Mush!

GM: When you first encountered Knotty he was pulling a wagon for the circus

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ooooh, Knotty pulling a sled could be interesting

Zayden: riding an ostrich sounds awesome though

Zayden: OOC

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): he's going to wish he stayed with the circus!

Shislif (Zayden): OOC

seyfert (Raelynn): oh! see????

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I will ask him first, OBVIOUSLY

seyfert (Raelynn): wait he was???

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Assuming BOB gives me back my talking to animals spell. Otherwise I'll have to beg Licornah again

GM: You do not have a wagon for him to pull right now though

seyfert (Raelynn): Becuase I'm pretty sure he just showed up with a saddle and gored Yout almost to deatth and you can't do that easily with a wagon

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We're in a city, there must be a wagon here somewhere

GM: That was him breaking free, remember the wagon that was not being pulled by animals but by people because......

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): what is the boar movement?

GM: you are in a very small town

GM: good point Lisa checking now

seyfert (Raelynn): they needed to train their strongman, duh

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): There still has to be a wagon somewhere. How are they getting livestock around

seyfert (Raelynn): ride a sheep

LorieD (Licornah): (If there is a horse, I can ride and take one person with me)

GM: Lisa has a good catch, Wild Boars move at 15

seyfert (Raelynn): yeah but now he's tamed so... that makes him faster for biology reasons

GM: and you could also rent a horse

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): there you go - will Bixi and Daphene both fit on him?

GM: and LOL

GM: Yes Bixi and Daphene both fit

GM: But Indigo is still a little behind

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): so so slowest is Indigo at 18 miles per day

seyfert (Raelynn): someone carries him

GM: 18 miles per day and you need 24

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Maybe they don't all need to go?

springdew (Lanek): indigo HAS a little behind

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

GM: LOL

Lanek: er

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

springdew (Lanek): sorry i'm depressed. cheap shots for the dopamine

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can't we just camp on the way back if we don't quite make it home in time?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): do you want to leave the only fighter who has his sword mastery behind - even if it's a different sword

seyfert (Raelynn): nope

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm assuming we will probably end up staying there anyway?

GM: No to Lisa and no to Spring,

seyfert (Raelynn): not my call, but nope

LorieD (Licornah): (Oh, yeah, is the intent to split the party?)

GM: Here to fully bring you up

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): we could probably rent a horse

GM: Yes to renting a horse

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): so Licornah can take Indigo and we're set

springdew (Lanek): are you saying Indigo has a BIG behind? i am surprised

GM: so heading out in the morning you have Knotty and a horse so you can fit four up on .... ponies.... and the rest are walking

GM: chuckles

Adelbert Osten: Walking with a strong stride along the path

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sounds good to me. There might be a solid chance we have to come back to town at least once anyways, so i'm not sweating it

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, thank you

springdew (Lanek): i thought halflings carried their weight in the belly

Adelbert Osten: Have you ever been here on the Southern Exposure?

Talwin: Shakes Head

Talwin: Afraid Not

Talwin: Never been ou thtis way before

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No, but I used to like Northern Exposure back inthe day

Indigo: What's that?

Adelbert Osten: It starts back in Pilk way up on the cliffs

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

Adelbert Osten: and winds the way along the top down to Borts and back up to Drakes

Adelbert Osten: The wind can be fierce

Adelbert Osten: but you get a nice view over the water

Talwin: How fierce? Enought to stagger a man?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Again with the wind. After Bixi learns the rainbow spell I want to start trying to find a wind one

Adelbert Osten: If you are not careful in winter storms you can get blown right off into the water

Talwin: Shudders

Talwin: The cold watery end

Talwin: Not my preferred way to go

Adelbert Osten: The open fields are good for my flocks

Licornah: :: approaches her horse for a brief chat about the ride ahead and to get to know it, ensures to grab some extra traveling snacks for it too ::

Adelbert Osten: so I keep them away from the cliffs

Talwin: Makes snese.

Adelbert Osten: So how did you hear about Alexandria?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Frankly, no clue)

GM: Jilly did the research for you

Talwin: A friend researched my request and was kind enough to share this persons name

Talwin: It's a long way from home, so I hope it turns for the best

Talwin: If not

Talwin: Shrugs

Adelbert Osten: I am always curious

Talwin: I won't risk my friends. And, if I'm dead, it isn't my problem anymore

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Michael, I can't even begin to express in words how much I appreciate that your memory is about as good as mine. It's nice to not be the only one who doesn't know how to answer the random questions

Talwin: No problem

Adelbert Osten: We have gotten maybe half a dozen people since she moved in there

mharmon1 (Talwin): Lemon, this game is decades old. I can barely remember three to four sessions

mharmon1 (Talwin): I usually have to have the wiki up

springdew (Lanek): hehehehe same

Adelbert Osten: Wonder where she was before?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, but Lisa and Carissa have encyclopedic memories lol

Talwin: Why do you think she moved here?

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

Talwin: Is it a quiet life?

Talwin: Away from people?

Adelbert Osten: I think that might be it

Talwin: Or some reason she chose this place perhaps?

Talwin: And yet, assholes like me come to ask for her training

Talwin: No wonder she moved to a quiet place if that is the reason

Talwin: Probably just wants to be left alone is my guess, but I don't like to guess. I like to be sure

Talwin: If that makes sense

Adelbert Osten: I suppose when you are famous you have to deal with jerks

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Don't say that, you are a good person. Much to my annoyance.

Adelbert Osten: I know I have to

Adelbert Osten: and I am not famous

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Nah, you and me are two peas in a pod. I almost stragneld someone who annoyed me. I wish you were there to see it.

Adelbert Osten: But you seem to have a strong group

Zayden: Famous or not, we always have to deal with jerks at some point

Howard Plum: laughs

Adelbert Osten: You sound like a wise bard

Talwin: I'm sorry you have to deal with Jerks. Hopefully not that often though right?

Talwin: She probabl kills jerks. But you....thoughtful. I'll bet you get them back in the end

Zayden: Thank you Adelbert

Talwin: Grins

Adelbert Osten: Nah I stay with the flocks, avoid people unless I can make an extra coin for some extra wine

Talwin: Shrugs

Talwin: That works too!

Adelbert Osten: This is a good easy trip

Adelbert Osten: bring some strangers out along the cliffs

LorieD (Licornah): (That's what the Skipper said to Gilligan)

mharmon1 (Talwin): when you put it like that....

GM: grins

Talwin: Well I'm glad we could help a little.

GM: So as you head along the path

GM: the morning passes quickly

Shislif (Zayden): lol

GM: the wind tugs just a bit but it is not as described

GM: the views are very nice

Talwin: Nice views

Talwin: It's peaceful here

Zayden: This kinda view deserves a little music!

Zayden smiles

Adelbert Osten: Nice

springdew (Lanek): nodding while playing

Lanek: nodding while playing

Zayden: I really like this band

GM: Using Youtargim for the NPCs rolls when needed

Licornah: Indigo, you'll forgive me if I talk to the horse and you can't hear the reply... I find chatting with my riding companion helps the trip move quickly

Indigo: It's fine! I'm just looking around

Zayden: They say horses are very therapeutic, good listeners

GM: As you ride/walk along the Exposure you can see the lighthouse up ahead, standing tall and clear along the edge of the cliffs

GM: and as you get close to the area you can see several buildings forming a small town at the base of the tower

Zayden: Hey! Looks like those several building form a small town over there!

Adelbert Osten: HAI!!!!

Adelbert Osten: GET AWAY

Centaur [Woodland Creatures]: [Translation] FUCK YOU SHEPARD

Greetings, do you live near here?

[understood by: Raelynn, Daphene, Licornah]

Raelynn: Silly Zayden. You did right before we got to Loosend.

Talwin: Jumps in front of Adelbert

Raelynn: readies a spell then pauses at seeing Talwin

Talwin: Hands raised in supplication, attempting to diffuse

Zayden: oh my bad Rae, I got a bad memory from all those weeds I 'used' to smoke

Youtargim: [ATTACK (M)] Scimitar +1 [THACO(17)] [AC: 15 ] [MISS-AUTOMATIC] [d20+1 = 2]

Zayden siles

Zayden smiles

Raelynn: laughs

Daphene: What language do they speak?

GM: Bert runs forward, trips over Talwin trying to protect him and fumbles his crook off into the grass as the Centaur runs of and places a front hoof onto his back

Indigo: Horse?

Centaur [Speak with Animals]: [Translation] Thank you for helping me defeat him

Thank you for helping me defeat him

[understood by: Licornah]

Raelynn: Sometimes Elvish, sometimes Common, sometimes... whatever that is.

Talwin: Turn s to the elves

Raelynn: shrugs

Centaur: Ahhh I see you do not understand

Licornah [Speak with Animals]: [Translation] Oh, there are problems here?

Oh, there are problems here?

[understood by: Licornah]

Centaur: Thank you for helping me defeat him

Talwin: What?

Raelynn: Please explain.

Licornah [Speak with Animals]: [Translation] :: pauses :: Defeat? I didn't realize there was a conflict

Centaur: Do you yeld?

Zayden: whoa take it easy there fella

Adelbert Osten: GET OFF OF ME YOU OAFF

Raelynn: Will ONE of you please explain??

Licornah: It seems like Bert was defeated?

Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 15] [d20 = 1]

Licornah: He wants you to yield

Centaur: Nods to Licornah, the Elf understands

Licornah: Do you two have a past?

Talwin: I am so confused

Zayden: Just yield Bert! it's not worth your life man

Centaur: You might say so

Adelbert Osten: Fine fine fine

Adelbert Osten: I yield

Centaur [Woodland Creatures]: [Translation] SNOTS

[understood by: ]

Talwin: I uh, was trying to protect you

Talwin: Sorry?

Zayden: probably slept with his wife or something

Centaur: What ever

Daphene -> Raelynn: Your pirate tried to kill him

Centaur: Lets him up

Centaur: Next time be quicker

Raelynn -> Daphene: (Bob was rolling Yout for the centaur, unless I missed something)

Zayden: Or maybe that's just how they say hello as old friends?

Centaur: Turns to walk away

Zayden: Hey Centaur got a name?

Raelynn: throws her hands up in frustration

Adelbert Osten: Stands up

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Lol, I am now picturing the centaur making the W with his hands, like in Clueless. Gif to come

Raelynn: mutters, "Should have just gone straight to Mom."

Licornah: It's good to see one of your kind so far from my home.

Daphene -> Raelynn: dangit. That would have been a good conversation. THANKS BOB

Adelbert Osten: HEY Come back here

Shislif (Zayden): lol lemon totally picturingn that now

Adelbert Osten: damn oaf

Raelynn -> Daphene: LOL

Adelbert Osten: These people are here to talk with Alexandria

Adelbert Osten: You should at least help them out

Centaur: Seriously?

Centaur: How much wine did you drink?

Talwin: One glass?

Centaur: Why would I help... looks over the group... well they do look at least well tested...

Raelynn: Not enough.

Adelbert Osten: Hear them out and then decide

Adelbert Osten: They came a long way

Zayden: Because it's the nice thing to do?

Adelbert Osten: Yeah

Adelbert Osten: Listen to the bard

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Adelbert Osten: Well more listen to the elves, the bard .... not so much

Talwin: Chuckles at the entire sitaution

Licornah [Speak with Animals]: [Translation] The warrior with us, Talwin, he's well equipped for the challenges ahead. We come to support him. Please, in the name of Larue, please hlep us.

Adelbert Osten: and the old wise man too

Zayden: hurtful, but fair

seyfert (Raelynn): (she did roll a 1 on her persuation check earlier)

Shislif (Zayden): can i roll persuasion ?

seyfert (Raelynn): sure why not

seyfert (Raelynn): either it'll help or Bob will ignore it, lol

Zayden: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 2]

GM: I did see the roll Carissa, but what is Rae trying to say?

mharmon1 (Talwin): My frineds kindly accompanied me here from the mists, Dragon's Fen. It's far enough away that I'm not sure if you know it. (Say this when I'm not inturrupting a long conversation that I can't read)

Talwin: My frineds kindly accompanied me here from the mists, Dragon's Fen. It's far enough away that I'm not sure if you know it. (Say this when I'm not inturrupting a long conversation that I can't read)

Licornah: :: nods at Talwin :: make your case

GM: Who was Rae asking?

seyfert (Raelynn): the centaur

GM: Ok

mharmon1 (Talwin): I need to know who is talking before I start typing out paragraphs

Raelynn: Will ONE of you please explain??

Daphene: Are we on a good mission?

Adelbert Osten: I told you it was dangerous

seyfert (Raelynn): (details, she was looking at the centaur and didn't care)

Licornah: (I availed the Centaur to listen to Talwin make his case to see Alenxandria -- he asked if he was strong of mind or brawn, I said both, depending on the challenge. He agreed to hear Talwin out )

Centaur: What brings an Elven priestess and a second Elven priestess out to such a desolate place?

Raelynn: Yeah, I figured dangerous like dragons. We've seen enough of those.

Centaur: There are much more dangerous things in this world than Dragons

Raelynn: Helping out a friend before I visit home.

Talwin: Lichs? We dealt with those two. Nasty buggers

Licornah: I have ventured from Silvermoon on a quest from my deity

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): nice Bob

Raelynn: Mhmm, like angry goddess. We've encountered that, too.

Centaur: Over Confidence is one

Raelynn: Well good thing it isn't my quest.

GM: smiles

Talwin: Really it boils down to my life's goal good Man

Talwin: I don't want to tell you my life story because I doubt you care

Indigo: So does the centaur work for Alexandria or is he just curious?

Centaur: Raises an eyebrow to Talwin

springdew: so i have to go. have fun storming the castle

'springdew' disconnected

Talwin: However

LorieD (Licornah): (Night Spring)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Goodnight Spring!

Centaur: Why do you think I do not care?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Going to start typing)

Shislif (Zayden): night spring!

seyfert (Raelynn): bye Spring!

Talwin: Sighs

GM: Night spring

LemonyLemon (Daphene): goodnight spring!

Talwin: Because it is long, strange, and would take a week to tell it

Indigo: Or is the Centaur really Alexandria ...

Talwin: But if you want it, I will give it

Indigo: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 2]

Raelynn: whispers, "Oooh, making assumptions like we just talked about...."

Raelynn: looks at Indigo

Talwin: I suppose the highlights to start I guess

Alexandria: Looks at Indigo

seyfert (Raelynn): (for Talwin's not caring comment)

Indigo: Hello!

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Stopping typing for now)

Indigo: Are you Alexandria?

Alexandria: You are here for training? I thought it was the human?

Talwin: Chuckles

Indigo: Oh it's Talwin. Sorry

Indigo: I was just thinking is all

Alexandria: You think well

Talwin: Not so sound of mind it would seem. I suppose my friends are the thinkers, while I am more of the loyal shield

Indigo: Sometimes

Shislif (Zayden): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Talwin: I suppose I am not the brightest. But, I do take care of mine

Talwin: All I can ask for I suppose

Alexandria: What do you ask for?

Talwin: Honestly....

Talwin: Pensive

Talwin: Before I ask, may I ask you a question before?

Alexandria: Crosses arms across their chest

Alexandria: You are already talking, why not continue

Talwin: Smiles

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Where are you going and what do you wish, the centaur asked the three.

Talwin: Are you out here to get away from people like me?

Talwin: Who come to pester you?

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Zayden comes to fish for the herring fish that live in the beautiful sea

Alexandria: I wander the world in search of peace

Alexandria: Knowing I will not find it

Talwin: Frowns

Talwin: I won't ask unless you are willing to tell

Alexandria: What are you wanting to ask?

Alexandria: You already have asked one question

Talwin: Chuckles

Talwin: Bluntly, I would like Training.

Talwin: A statement

Talwin: But

Talwin: I wanted to be certain that my request wouldn't distrub your search for peace

Talwin: Because if it does, It's not worth it

Alexandria: My peace has been distrubed already

Alexandria: several times

Alexandria: so far my skills have not been put to use

Daphene: Yeah, but it wasn't his fault last time

Daphene: He just doesn't want it to be his fault

Daphene: And lose his fingers

Talwin: Shrugs

Alexandria: Fingers?

Talwin: I don't mind losing fingers if it ends with a result worthy of it

Alexandria: What?

Talwin: Ah, Bert said the last people who vistited you lost fingers

Talwin: And only one came back

Centaur [Woodland Creatures]: [Translation] You fucking idiot, you tried to scare them with a story about me eating fingers? what in the hell are you trying to do?

You fucking idiot, you tried to scare them with a story about me eating fingers? what in the hell are you trying to do?

[understood by: ]

Talwin: Shakes head. "I'm sorry. I don't understand"

Centaur: Scowls at Bert

Daphene: He's obviously not talking to you

Centaur: Gestures to the two statues

Daphene: rolls eyes

Daphene: Have some patience, Talwin

Centaur: Those two who were turned to stone by the medusa

Indigo: There's a Medusa?

Shislif (Zayden): back

seyfert (Raelynn): (where's Illero when you need him)

Centaur: Several of them out there

Talwin: Huh. Never had the pleasure

Centaur: Not sure why they thought to bring these two back, after they failed

Talwin: Dragons, Yes. Lich? No problem. But a Mesuda....

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ooooh, this sounds like a good story

Centaur: Give me your sword

Talwin: Hestiates.

Indigo: Uh-oh

Talwin: Not without permission

Indigo: You should tell her

Raelynn: Literally or figuratively?

Talwin: Reven?

Talwin: Are you okay?

Centaur: Raises an eyebrow

Indigo: It could try to take her over!

Talwin: Oh please

Talwin: Calm down

Talwin: First Permission from Reven

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Um... I might be dangerous to her

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): now

Talwin: Nods

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Couldn't it? anyone who tries to handle a possessed sword?

Talwin: I'm sorry. Reven says it might be dangerous for you

seyfert (Raelynn): yup

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: But... it's up to you. I'll miss you if she claims me, friend

Centaur: Are you that crazy that you carry around an enchanted sword with some being trapped inside?

Talwin: Shrugs

Talwin: Worked out for me so far

Talwin: Reven says it's my call, but if he's uncomfortable with it, hes my friend first, sword second

Centaur: Hold out your sword

Raelynn: bites her tongue

Centaur: I will not touch such a cursed item

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: Holds out sword

Centaur: Hard to judge if you know your care with such an item

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: She's not TECHNICALLY wrong, but I don't feel cursed in the way that I think she means it. Just trapped.

Talwin: Nods

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Yeah.

Centaur: Looks over the group

Talwin: I would spar with you if that would satisfy you

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I mean who among us doesn't have a healthy bloodlust?

Centaur: Who here thinks that he deserves the chance to learn from the greatest swordsman alive?

Indigo: raises hand

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I mean....a few?

Raelynn: We wouldn't all come here with him if we didn't think that.

Centaur: Nods

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Well then they need to dial it back a little. Too much bloodlust is bad for your health.

Daphene: I just met him but he seems to have a good heart

Talwin: Desperatly holds back a chuckle from Reven. Face is still deadpan

Centaur: How well do you know this area?

Talwin: Shakes head

Talwin: Not well

Talwin: We're far from home

Centaur: That might not be a good thing

Talwin: Shrugs

Raelynn: Howard and I grew up in Dryads Lair.

Talwin: I'll do what I have to

Zayden: I support Tal!

Centaur: That can be very helpful

Bixi Fizzlebang: He doesn't appreciate good pranks but I guess otherwise he's a pretty decent guy. I'd lose a finger for him. A pinky.

Centaur: I do not understand the finger thing, someday I will have to get someone to explain it to me

Centaur: If you want to train with me

Centaur: you will have to help with the forge

Centaur: Gestures to the lighthouse

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: I have some skill with smithing

Talwin: What do you need me to do?

Centaur: We need three fire gems, from the fire swamps

Talwin: Nods again

Centaur: Go find them and gring them back

Shislif (Zayden): ugh, fetch quest

Talwin: I take it I'll tangle with Medusa and other...obstacles correct?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): where are the fire swamps?

Bixi Fizzlebang: No one said anything about fire swamps. Um... how far away is fire swamps and do you have anywhere that I could keep Knotty while we do this?

mharmon1 (Talwin): and yep Zayden

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Talwin: Do you require I do this on my own, or may I take my companions with me

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, good call Talwin. I just assumed we were all going

Raelynn: The ones the harbor master in Rivers Bend told us to stay away from...?

GM: Howard and Rae (and Indigo to a lesser extent) know that the Fire Swamps are the area south of Dryads Lair on the NE corner of Lake Peipus, where the steam rises and ships avoid it

GM: Also that as Carissa said

mharmon1 (Talwin): How far from here bob?

GM: You will discover that soon

GM: after you decide

mharmon1 (Talwin): decide what?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): don't see it on the map - do we have to get back on the ship?

Centaur: If you really think you are worthy of training then you can bring me those and survive your quest

GM: brb she just got hom

mharmon1 (Talwin): so...I guess I can take friends with me

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: I will do this

Talwin: Is there any pertinenet information you think I should know?

GM: back

Centaur: Three Fire Gems

Centaur: I need those for the forge

Centaur: If you are worthy you will bring them

Talwin: I guess it wouldn't be much of a quest if I asked for directions. I'll get them

Centaur: If not then....

Talwin: Inwardly rolls his eyes

Talwin: Friends, I need to do some research

Talwin: Shall we leave Alexandria to the peaceful afternoon?

Alexandria: I am certain they will be needed

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: I will do my best to obtain them

Alexandria: I will be here until Midsummer

Raelynn: The Fire Swamps are to the south near on the lake.

Alexandria: then I will be traveling again

Alexandria: It has been a year already, and it feels too long in one spot

Alexandria: you said you are from Dragon Fen?

Talwin: Nods

Alexandria: Where is that?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): drillian

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): nudge

Talwin: Drillian, within the MIsts

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Typing sorry)

Alexandria: Hmm, Oh well

Alexandria: I am not a fan of swamps

Talwin: Laughs aloud despite the situation

Howard Plum: Our swamps are full of leeches and not gems

Talwin: I'm uh, not much either. But life leads where it leads eh?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): meant that for Indigo

Alexandria: Perhaps I will see you again

Talwin: I don't make promises I can't keep, but I will do everything I can to ensure I am successful and return

Talwin: If I am dead, then training won't be doing me much good will it

Zayden: who likes swamps anyway?

Shislif (Zayden): Floridians?

Alexandria: LOL

Shislif (Zayden): :)

Adelbert Osten: Next time I will catch you

Alexandria: BLOOOOWWSSSS a NIEEEGGGGGHHHH at him

Shislif (Zayden): whoa we found THE Alexandria?

Alexandria: STOMPS

Alexandria: and walks away

mharmon1 (Talwin): I had to read that like three times bob. lol

Shislif (Zayden): is she a centaur too?

Adelbert Osten: Very well

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): she is THE centaur

Adelbert Osten: If we hurry we can make it for supper

Adelbert Osten: while it is hot

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): the one that tackled Bert

Talwin: Doomed to walk the earth for eternity?

Talwin: Thank you Adelbert

Talwin: For everything

Talwin: Your kindness today was very moving. I appreciate you introducing us

Talwin: I hope I can accomplish her task

Adelbert Osten: You actually got a quest

Adelbert Osten: that is more than most

Adelbert Osten: out of the six only three managed that

Talwin: Smiles. "I think you gave a better reason to help me then I would have for myself"

Talwin: I think she likes you

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): confused - do we have to sail back to riversbend for the lake? The webpage says "The independent city of Rivers Bend lies on the southwest corner of the lake" and we sailed 140 miles away from riversbend

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Dear Lord. Sigh)

GM: No

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Can we just Click and we are there bbo?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh okay

GM: grins I promised in the Wall of Text tm that this was all within 50 miles

GM: You just have to go across the Narva River

GM: and then into the Fire Swamps

Talwin: Well gang despite me straight up asking if this was a quest I needed to do myself, she didn't forbid help. If she rejects me for having help, then we at least were able to help keep the forge going.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): so back on the ship

Talwin: It seems we have research to do

Raelynn: Or you could just ask, silly.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm pretty sure she said you would need us

Talwin: Adelbert, sincerely, thank you for everything. I would say this is "Fair Market Value" for your kindness today.

Raelynn: Anyone who's anyone knows the newts have the gems. They're apparently really pretty.

Talwin: Consider a tip from a grateful tourist

Talwin: Passes a gold coin

Talwin: Today meant more to me then you will ever know I think

Indigo: We have to steal gems from swamp lizards?

Talwin: Steal? I think liberate would be more approrpiate

Raelynn: Sounds like it.

Talwin: Unless we are official pirates now?

Talwin: Sideeyes Raelynn

Raelynn: If that boat stops smelling so bad, it'll probably get us across the river. The ship'll be too big.

Raelynn: frowns

Talwin: Smelling so bad?

Indigo: We all won't fit on a fishing boat

Talwin: Ah

Talwin: Nods in understanding

Raelynn: If I'm becoming more pirate-y, is Yout becoming more... I dunno, prettier? Glittery? Elvish-y??

Talwin: I'm the Glittery. Just ask Bixi

Raelynn: I mean, maybe you can get some skiffs? The knarr would get stuck in a place like that. Right Howard?

Howard Plum: There aren't proper docks that I know of

Raelynn: So does that mean you want some of the glitter lotion, Talwin? Or did you steal some of it from me already??

mharmon1 (Talwin): How did you get your trainer to teach you? Oh, I taggged my future trainer with my blade, what did you do? Oh, I fetched a plant? You? Oh, nothing much, I had to sail to a fire swamp and steal three priceless fire gems from evil lizards. No problem at all"

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): how many people fit on a fishing boat? 6?

seyfert (Raelynn): newts not lizards!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh, my bad :)

GM: 7 people plus 1,000 pounds of cargo space

mharmon1 (Talwin): That doesn't seem impossible if we leave the boar and a few other adjustments

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not tying to be an ass ot the Boar, but it's not feasible and is dangerous

seyfert (Raelynn): We're currently at 11 people?

Talwin: We could probably rig up cargo space with cots at the cost of less supplies

GM: Yes the fishing boat can handle you all (minus Knotty) for the short trip

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: I think we can use the fishing boat

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): Howard can be cargo

Talwin: It's only a short trip

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

Talwin: It'll not smell the most pleasant, but we can make this work

Talwin: Hopefully it will be a quicker journey

Indigo: It's probably all aired out by now

Talwin: Shudder

Talwin: Indigo, I think fish smell never truly departs a vessel

Talwin: Even after being sprayed by ammonia

Indigo: Oh I thought you meant the dragon gas

Talwin: Oh, no. I might even prefer that to fish

Talwin: Grins broadly

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I already said I didn't want to take Knotty into the swamp lol

Indigo: laughs

LorieD (Licornah): (So we have 4 too many people? Do some of us need to stay with Alexandria?)

Talwin: When we get back to town, I can do some quick research before we go. Figure out what items might be beneficial and get some accurate maps

Talwin: See if anyone knows about these fire gems

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Bob said we could all cram in

Shislif (Zayden): yay sardines!

Raelynn: What else do you need to know? Find the newts, take some gems, come back quick before she leaves.

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Nah, we'll rig up cots in the holding bays. We don't need that much cargo for a short trip)

GM: So you come up with the questions you want answered before you go

mharmon1 (Talwin): Really bob?

Talwin: Okay

GM: I answer them as best I can

Talwin: So here's my list of questions before we depart

GM: and CLICK you are across the river and into the swamps

GM: so you start there next week

Talwin: Nevermind then. We are here

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh okay

mharmon1 (Talwin): My mistake

GM: first questions

GM: Organize and think list them out

GM: brb

Talwin: 1. What does a firegem look like, where it might be found, and what obstacles will be involved in it's retreival

Shislif (Zayden): why does the rain in spain stay mainly on the plane?

Howard Plum: sits back quietly pondering the nature of Talwin's quest

Talwin: 2. Will I need a special storage solution to hold them without burning anything?

Talwin: 3. Where is the Fire Swamp

Talwin: 4. What gear would be helpful in navigating the Swamp

Talwin: 5. What creatures are native or are dangerious in said swamp

Talwin: 6. What is a fire newt. Is that code for dragon

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): don't you want to be surprised?

mharmon1 (Talwin): No

Talwin: LOL

MadamePsychosis: lol

Talwin: 7. Do FireGems have a half life?

mharmon1 (Talwin): 8. How long is the ride at Pirates of the Carribean since we are pirates now and I want to go back to Disneyland?

mharmon1 (Talwin): That's all I got for now

MadamePsychosis: you are so not going to have fun in Hell

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): No...probably not...But I will be there nonetheless :)

MadamePsychosis: did you see my post? I know Jenn we should figure out the answers to all these questions - but do we even care?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Besides, some good loot in hell :)

GM: 1 Firegems are legendary very rare items that few people have seen, rumored to be very valuable to mages

GM: 2 No clue

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh good, I'll get a fourth one as a present for Bran

mharmon1 (Talwin): She'll be happy!

GM: 3 across the Narva river

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob, you said you could answer! :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Do I need to bring an Asbestos lined crate?

GM: 4 skiffs might help but it is a fire swamp

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: 5 normal snakes, reptiles and fire newts

mharmon1 (Talwin): So let's purchase two skiffs as the "scouts" for the fishing vessels.

GM: Dragons are likely only a rumor

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yeah, but it's you bob. I have to take that under consideration

LorieD: (I'm heading out... have a good week all)

'LorieD' disconnected

GM: 6 fire newts... you have never seen any, they are rumored to live in steamy locations

Zayden: thx you too!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thanks for everyting Lorie!!! :)

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight Lorie!

Shislif (Zayden): OOC

GM: 7 No clue

mharmon1 (Talwin): So they don't just...go out?

GM: That is what you can get from the townspeople of Borts Beach over night

Shislif (Zayden): I think I will also head out and take care of some dinner stuff, also I'll be in Vegas next week so good chance I won't make, but I'll try n stop by!

mharmon1 (Talwin): I swear to god, if we get back and it is out...

GM: Have fun Sharif

GM: sorry I Missed Lorie

Shislif (Zayden): thx! You too happy holidays :)

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight Sharif! Good luck in Vegas!

Shislif (Zayden): thx :)

Shislif (Zayden): Bye :)

'Shislif' disconnected

Talwin: Well bob that's all I kind of got

GM: With that in mind

GM: and any help from the rest of the group with thoughts

GM: I am guessing you will click off 1 day of prep, 2 days of sailing across the river and into the swamps

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yes?

GM: and we pick up with you venturing into the swamps looking for .... fire gems, from fire newts, in a fire swamp

GM: so very clever

MadamePsychosis: a gem is a gem so I guess the fire is inside and wouldn't be burning the paper bags we would put them in but I could be wrong

mharmon1 (Talwin): I never said I was a smart man

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

GM: chuckles that was directed at me

mharmon1 (Talwin): Frankly, I'm picturing burning gems, but not sure what we can do with that. I don't suppose the port has asbestos we could line a crate with

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob?

GM: grins

MadamePsychosis: you just have to listen for the noise it makes before the fire jets out of the swamp

GM: no

GM: and yes to Lisa

mharmon1 (Talwin): Then....Ok. We'll have to make do with what we can do :)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Do we need to worry about R.O.U.S.s?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

seyfert (Raelynn): not unless we also get a lawyer to helps us later sue when we all develop mesothelioma

mharmon1 (Talwin): Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist

GM: See this will be fun

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh god Carissa. If you only knew....

mharmon1 (Talwin): Especially because I work at a mining company

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well frankly, I'm fading so....

mharmon1 (Talwin): Anything you need from me bob?

seyfert (Raelynn): yeahhh admittedly I missed half this convo

GM: Next week we pick up here in the swamps

GM: have a great night everyone

mharmon1 (Talwin): And I will be ready for Action! Night everyone! :)

'mharmon1' disconnected
