BOB Hello Michael
Talwin: Hello! As promised

BOB And your dice are working properly?
Talwin: No emergencies to speak of...except for TMO's wife's book at least
Michael (Talwin): "An Amish Christmas Caper???"
BOB Yeah
Michael (Talwin): Will check right now
Michael (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
BOB That is weird
BOB Menu and Dice Select?
Talwin: Yep
Michael (Talwin): logging into FG on web to see if it shows
BOB Right what I was going to say
'Lisa' connected
Michael (Talwin): Huh, it shows I own the Aura Dice, I just can't select it. WTF
Michael (Talwin): What's the point in being able to purchase or gift something if it won't work?
BOB Hello Lisa
Michael (Talwin): Hi Lisa!
BOB and you can fix that
Lisa: Hello all :)
Michael (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 :)
Michael (Talwin): OK. I'll try and give it a go, but this is really poor interface design IMHO
Lisa: 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.
BOB Lorie will be late, TMO is likely a no,
BOB Sharif, Carissa, and Lemon are expected, no word from Spring
Lisa: which one did you select again?
Michael (Talwin): Aura. Makes me try to purchase it again
Lisa: only the one you picked should open with choices
'Shislif' connected
Michael (Talwin): Nope, it shows me all the choices, along with a link to the Store to purchase them
Lisa: do any of them open for you?
Michael (Talwin): Yeah, to the store...
Lisa: I have defauly, elemental basics and magical
Lisa: default

Sharif: yea looks cool
BOB Records and Images
Michael (Talwin): Yep, just remembered. Thx
BOB Or go to the Combat Tracker
Sharif: it would be cool if we could see our ship moving along the background map
BOB I can make that happen Sharif
Sharif: I think only like half the ship is showing...
Sharif: hey cool
Michael (Talwin): It's because Vision limitations are in effect it looks like
Sharif: oh ok
Sharif: night time?
Lisa: and we're finally getting off it!!
Michael (Talwin): If you move your character around it might work :)
Sharif: finally sheesh lol
BOB 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
Lisa: don't see Zayden on the ship map
BOB DOH
Lisa: we're missing Zayden and Licornah
Sharif: Did you leave Zay behind?!?!
Lisa: He's in the hold with Knotty maybe
Licornah: Advanced Effect [''] -> [to Licornah]
Licornah: Advanced Effect ['Punching;BSTR: 0;'] -> [to Licornah] [by Punching]
Carissa (Raelynn): Last I heard, he was in Bywater oiling his rods.
Zayden: Advanced Effect ['Punching;BSTR: 0;'] -> [to Zayden] [by Punching]
Lisa: hope he's done with that :)
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB adn Fixed
Carissa (Raelynn): Zay hasn't met the new girl yet PS
BOB no icon for Knotty yet
Sharif: We're back!
BOB and yes to Lemon for the new chance to make a first impression
BOB and now Knotty is fixed
BOB When you look at the image of Dryads Lair Precipality it has a grid, so you can check distances
BOB and when Michael is back we can start
Michael (Talwin): Ready
Michael (Talwin): Got the map up
Michael (Talwin): Or rather the ship with us on it and the dock :)
BOB So first up is a quick discussion about how you want to go forward when you get to Borts
'Spring' connected
BOB Hey there Spring
Sharif: Borts? Not an attractive name
BOB Talwin has questions
Michael (Talwin): I do?
Carissa (Raelynn): Hi Spring!
BOB Howard and Rae might have answers
BOB Do you know anything about Borts Beach and the surrounding area Talwin?
BOB grins
'Lorie' connected
Spring: hi hi
BOB Hello Lorie
Michael (Talwin): Pff, no. Should I? Yes. Did I research, No. Had a bit of a rough week unfortuantely.
BOB And so that is why Talwin will have questions
Lisa: Hi Spring and Lorie! :)
Lemon: Ok, Knotty is fixed but is he "fixed"?
Michael (Talwin): LOL
BOB Yes ?
BOB grins
Lorie (Licornah): (evening all)
Carissa (Raelynn): Hi Lorie!
Michael (Talwin): Hi Lorie!
Spring: hi Lorie! hi Lemon! hi Michael! hi BOB!
BOB Michael I just wanted to give you the chance for a short conversation before arriving in front of other NPC residents etc
Michael (Talwin): Hi Spring :)
Spring: did i get everybody!
BOB Carissa
Lorie (Licornah): (Just to confirm, I should be looking at a black map?)
Michael (Talwin): Ah okay. Here, let me know if this is a good start...
Carissa (Raelynn): shhhhh
BOB 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?
Michael (Talwin): Anyone feel free to give me the TL;DR Version.
Lemon: 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
Lemon: Ok, now I'm ready to play
BOB 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!
Michael (Talwin): And done
Michael (Talwin): I'm caught up
Michael (Talwin): :)
BOB and for anyone when you step onto the docks you will see what Talwin sees, if you click on his token
Michael (Talwin): Didn't know FG did that. Huh
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Why can't I see what Talwin sees when I'm his sword?
Raelynn: I see land!
Michael (Talwin): Because you are a sword???
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL
Lorie (Licornah): (Congrats on the cookie haul Lemon!!)
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): That's a totally bs reason!
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Thanks Lorie!
BOB Just to be clear Michael feels he is ready to land and talk to the locals
Lisa (Howard Plum): good luck!
Michael (Talwin): Bob, as close as I can. I'll play it cool and not cause problems
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Michael (Talwin): Thanks LIsa :)
BOB grins
Lemon (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
Lorie (Licornah): (Are the locals of a sort that he should need more time?)
Michael (Talwin): Not from what I gathered from Howard. Seems like a small port with an interesting inn?
Talwin: Anyways. With that in mind.
Lorie (Licornah): (Good luck, don't die, but if you do, can I have your stuff? :: laughs and I'm kidding :: )
Talwin: Groans in relief
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): What kind of "interesting" are we talking?
Talwin: Dry land
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): I'm not kidding, I actually want your stuff if you die.
Michael (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
Carissa (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
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Yeah no, that feast was perfect
Talwin: You know a Jermaine?
Howard Plum: We rented it from her
Talwin: Nods
Lisa (Howard Plum): Jolain
Lanek: [d12 = 3]
Talwin: Thank you Lisa. So confused
Lisa (Howard Plum): Bob got the name wrong or the harbor master did
Spring (Lanek): pls ignore
BOB He said what he said
Michael (Talwin): Oh good god
Lisa (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
Lemon (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
Spring (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?
Carissa (Raelynn): lol Zayden
BOB 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
Lemon (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.
Lemon (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
Lemon (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)
<a href="https://youtu.be/mbIxIdM_0ho">(LINK)</a>
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
Lemon (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
Spring (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
Michael (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
Michael (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?
Lemon (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?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Obviously old enough to get a super cool title.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes, but I don't work on demand
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No more shows please
Lemon (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,
BOB grins, see the Borts Beach page
Michael (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
Michael (Talwin): Did I misread that? Or???
Michael (Talwin): I'm going to stop talking here
Bixi Fizzlebang: joins Talwin
Talwin: Not great at this
Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello, what's the trouble?
Lisa (Indigo): sorry - was adding items to character sheet
BOB 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
Michael (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.
Michael (Talwin): But ok.
Michael (Talwin): So Talwin has committed a faux pax. Bixi, take it away. Let me know when I can pay
Michael (Talwin): :)
Lisa (Indigo): you didn't do anything wrong
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I didn't notice anything particularly bad?
Michael (Talwin): No, just don't want to be more confused then I am. Got the jist I think
Lisa (Indigo): so many plagues!
Michael (Talwin): If we want to go on a Bort adventure let me know :)
Michael (Talwin): Otherwise, to the Inn and dealing with the Boar
Lisa (Indigo): sounds good to me
Talwin: No trouble Bixi, you just are better at speaking then I am.
Talwin: Turns back to Harbormaster
BOB 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
Lemon (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
Michael (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?
BOB 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
Michael (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?
BOB Gently takes Michael and SHAKES him
Carissa (Raelynn): (dragon fen?)
BOB grins
BOB No look at the map or at the Story Arc page
Carissa (Raelynn): drakes head
BOB and Rae and Howard can clue Talwin in on what it looks like
Michael (Talwin): GAHHH. I'll just pull up the site. Someone take the helm for a few minutes
Carissa (Raelynn): just tossing things out without thinking, ignore me
BOB and yes to Carissa for almost taking the bait on the weapon master in Dragon Fen but no, would not do that
Lisa (Indigo): not sure about a dragon
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB I think everyone would kill me
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL
Carissa (Raelynn): I won't deny that
Raelynn: Drakeshead...?
Michael (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
Michael (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
Carissa (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?
Michael (Talwin): Im operating on so much different ways to take this conversation, that I'm going to excuse mysefl
Lisa (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
BOB 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
Lisa (Indigo): What can you grow in a swamp?
Carissa (Raelynn): Alligators
Indigo: What can you grow in a swamp?
Michael (Talwin): (pythons)
Michael (Talwin): lol
Lorie (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)
Carissa (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.
BOB back
Talwin: Thoughtfully strokes chin
Raelynn: Oh! Maybe put it in boxes to save money on bottles. You might be on to something, Zayden.,
Lorie (Licornah): (VINEGAR or Jelly / Jam)
Michael (Talwin): (Lorie you sohould say that out loud)
Indigo: That's why I like ale. Simple stuff
Michael (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!
Lemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): fudge
Bixi Fizzlebang: That would be me!
Raelynn: At this rate, maybe Indigo...
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Rae is such a rebel these days
Indigo: laughs
Carissa (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
Lemon (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
BOB 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
BOB Adelbert heads out for the night
Raelynn: The sheriff's name is Old Battlescar?
BOB Mona is off cleaning
Indigo: That's a not so nice name
BOB the great room has several bedrolls along the wall
BOB 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!
BOB for bookkeeping 1 gold for the evening for room and board
Talwin: Passes the money over with thanks
Lisa (Indigo): We took two singles and a double. A gnome and halfling fit in a single? :)
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Lisa (Indigo): Talwin needs his rest he should get the single and then who ever wants to double up ...
Michael (Talwin): Sure, I'll take the single.
Michael (Talwin): I don't want to hold us up over the bed situation though lol
Carissa (Raelynn): same whateves works
Lisa (Indigo): good
BOB and any minor discussions on what to expect, heading out in the morning, etc. plot out a bit of your potential conversations
BOB 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?
Lisa (Indigo): rae and Yout ready for that or maye just Lanek and Zayden :)
BOB such as Indigo and Daphene sleeping together
Carissa (Raelynn): lmao she is not
Lisa (Indigo): I was thinking Bixi and Daphene ...
Michael (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...
Carissa (Raelynn): she's always annoyed at being called rackish
BOB grins
Lorie (Licornah): (I did not join the LOVE BOAT BOB)
BOB what Carissa just mention
Lisa (Indigo): LOL
BOB and LOL with Lorie
Carissa (Raelynn): Don't worry, it's aship not a boat. It's a Love Ship. For shipping people.
Lisa (Indigo): should have been with us on the gypsy love boat boat way back. everyone was getting busy
BOB and did you check out the page on Drakeshead Michael
Lisa (Indigo): except Indigo :(
BOB and Yes to Carissa
Carissa (Raelynn): :(
Raelynn: You could bring her glitter. I still have some left for making lotion.
Michael (Talwin): NO
Michael (Talwin): I will NOW do that
Raelynn: Oh! Or glitter lotion! It turned out so well.
Lisa (Indigo): so Talwin gets a room and the ladies take the other two and the men get the bedrolls in the common room?
Carissa (Raelynn): sure
Raelynn: looks around and realizes she's talking to herself
Lemon (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
Michael (Talwin): That was a short entry on a lighthouse, but I guess I got it all
Raelynn: Exactly, Lanek.
Michael (Talwin): So...yes
Indigo: Okay. Can I watch when you try it?
Raelynn: It's something at least unless Talwin has other ideas.
BOB 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
Michael (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
BOB 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.
BOB and Bixi Quote
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I also worry about you, but not for the same reasons the fluffy one means
Lisa (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 ::
Michael (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.
BOB 12 miles by path/road from Borts Beach to Drakeshead
BOB Humans can walk 24 miles in a day
BOB Halfling and Gnomes can walk 12
Lisa (Indigo): Indigo's movement is 9
BOB Indigo is 18
Lemon (Daphene): bixi has a pony
Michael (Talwin): Should we arrange for a horse or?
Lisa (Indigo): where did she get a pony?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can Knotty pull a little wagon?
Carissa (Raelynn): boar
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yes, sorry, holdover from other games where I call every mount a pony
BOB Laughs with LIsa
Carissa (Raelynn): Bixi rides Knotty, Knotty pulls a wagon for Indigo and Daphene?
BOB Knotty has never pulled a wagon before
BOB wink
Shislif (Zayden): lol not sure Bixi would appreciate that
Lemon (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
Carissa (Raelynn): ehhh how hard could it be?
Carissa (Raelynn): Mush, Knotty! Mush!
BOB When you first encountered Knotty he was pulling a wagon for the circus
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ooooh, Knotty pulling a sled could be interesting
Zayden: riding an ostrich sounds awesome though
Zayden: OOC
Lisa (Indigo): he's going to wish he stayed with the circus!
Shislif (Zayden): OOC
Carissa (Raelynn): oh! see????
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I will ask him first, OBVIOUSLY
Carissa (Raelynn): wait he was???
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Assuming BOB gives me back my talking to animals spell. Otherwise I'll have to beg Licornah again
BOB You do not have a wagon for him to pull right now though
Carissa (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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We're in a city, there must be a wagon here somewhere
BOB That was him breaking free, remember the wagon that was not being pulled by animals but by people because......
Lisa (Indigo): what is the boar movement?
BOB you are in a very small town
BOB good point Lisa checking now
Carissa (Raelynn): they needed to train their strongman, duh
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): There still has to be a wagon somewhere. How are they getting livestock around
Carissa (Raelynn): ride a sheep
Lorie (Licornah): (If there is a horse, I can ride and take one person with me)
BOB Lisa has a good catch, Wild Boars move at 15
Carissa (Raelynn): yeah but now he's tamed so... that makes him faster for biology reasons
BOB and you could also rent a horse
Lisa (Indigo): there you go - will Bixi and Daphene both fit on him?
BOB and LOL
BOB Yes Bixi and Daphene both fit
BOB But Indigo is still a little behind
Lisa (Indigo): so so slowest is Indigo at 18 miles per day
Carissa (Raelynn): someone carries him
BOB 18 miles per day and you need 24
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Maybe they don't all need to go?
Spring (Lanek): indigo HAS a little behind
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol
BOB LOL
Lanek: er
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL
Spring (Lanek): sorry i'm depressed. cheap shots for the dopamine
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can't we just camp on the way back if we don't quite make it home in time?
Lisa (Indigo): do you want to leave the only fighter who has his sword mastery behind - even if it's a different sword
Carissa (Raelynn): nope
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm assuming we will probably end up staying there anyway?
BOB No to Lisa and no to Spring,
Carissa (Raelynn): not my call, but nope
Lorie (Licornah): (Oh, yeah, is the intent to split the party?)
BOB Here to fully bring you up
Lisa (Indigo): we could probably rent a horse
BOB Yes to renting a horse
Lisa (Indigo): so Licornah can take Indigo and we're set
Spring (Lanek): are you saying Indigo has a BIG behind? i am surprised
BOB 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
BOB chuckles
Adelbert Osten: Walking with a strong stride along the path
Michael (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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, thank you
Spring (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
Lemon (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
Lisa (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?
Lemon (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?
Michael (Talwin): (Frankly, no clue)
BOB 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
Lemon (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
Michael (Talwin): Lemon, this game is decades old. I can barely remember three to four sessions
Michael (Talwin): I usually have to have the wiki up
Spring (Lanek): hehehehe same
Adelbert Osten: Wonder where she was before?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, but Lisa and Carissa have encyclopedic memories lol
Talwin: Why do you think she moved here?
Carissa (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
Lorie (Licornah): (That's what the Skipper said to Gilligan)
Michael (Talwin): when you put it like that....
BOB grins
Talwin: Well I'm glad we could help a little.

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
BOB As you ride/walk along the Exposure you can see the lighthouse up ahead, standing tall and clear along the edge of the cliffs
BOB and as you get close to the area you can see several buildings forming a small town at the base of the tower

Talwin: Jumps in front of Adelbert

Centaur: Nods to Licornah, the Elf understands

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
Lemon (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

Carissa (Raelynn): sure why not

Licornah: :: nods at Talwin :: make your case
BOB Who was Rae asking?
Carissa (Raelynn): the centaur
BOB Ok
Michael (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
Carissa (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< I travel with adventurers to learn and grow more
Lisa (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.
BOB 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
Spring: so i have to go. have fun storming the castle
'Spring' disconnected
Talwin: However
Lorie (Licornah): (Night Spring)
Lisa (Indigo): Goodnight Spring!
Centaur: Why do you think I do not care?
Michael (Talwin): (Going to start typing)
Shislif (Zayden): night spring!
Carissa (Raelynn): bye Spring!
Talwin: Sighs
BOB Night spring
Lemon (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
Carissa (Raelynn): (for Talwin's not caring comment)
Indigo: Hello!
Michael (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
Lemon (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?
Lemon (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 : [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?
<font color="#000000">You fucking idiot, you tried to scare them with a story about me eating fingers? what in the hell are you trying to do?

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
Carissa (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
Lisa (Indigo): Couldn't it? anyone who tries to handle a possessed sword?
Talwin: I'm sorry. Reven says it might be dangerous for you
Carissa (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?
Lisa (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?
Michael (Talwin): and yep Zayden
Michael (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...?
BOB 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
BOB Also that as Carissa said
Michael (Talwin): How far from here bob?
BOB You will discover that soon
BOB after you decide
Michael (Talwin): decide what?
Lisa (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
BOB brb she just got hom
Michael (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?
BOB 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?
Lisa (Howard Plum): drillian
Lisa (Howard Plum): nudge
Talwin: Drillian, within the MIsts
Michael (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?
Lisa (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
Michael (Talwin): I had to read that like three times bob. lol
Shislif (Zayden): is she a centaur too?
Adelbert Osten: Very well
Lisa (Indigo): she is THE centaur
Adelbert Osten: If we hurry we can make it for supper
Adelbert Osten: while it is hot
Lisa (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
Lisa (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
Michael (Talwin): (Dear Lord. Sigh)
BOB No
Michael (Talwin): (Can we just Click and we are there bbo?)
Michael (Talwin): Oh okay
BOB grins I promised in the Wall of Text tm that this was all within 50 miles
BOB You just have to go across the Narva River
BOB 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.
Lisa (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??
Michael (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"
Lisa (Howard Plum): how many people fit on a fishing boat? 6?
Carissa (Raelynn): newts not lizards!
Michael (Talwin): Oh, my bad :)
BOB 7 people plus 1,000 pounds of cargo space
Michael (Talwin): That doesn't seem impossible if we leave the boar and a few other adjustments
Michael (Talwin): Not tying to be an ass ot the Boar, but it's not feasible and is dangerous
Carissa (Raelynn): We're currently at 11 people?
Talwin: We could probably rig up cargo space with cots at the cost of less supplies
BOB 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
Lisa (Howard Plum): Howard can be cargo
Talwin: It's only a short trip
Carissa (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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I already said I didn't want to take Knotty into the swamp lol
Indigo: laughs
Lorie (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
Lisa (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.
Michael (Talwin): (Nah, we'll rig up cots in the holding bays. We don't need that much cargo for a short trip)
BOB So you come up with the questions you want answered before you go
Michael (Talwin): Really bob?
Talwin: Okay
BOB I answer them as best I can
Talwin: So here's my list of questions before we depart
BOB and CLICK you are across the river and into the swamps
BOB so you start there next week
Talwin: Nevermind then. We are here
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Michael (Talwin): Oh okay
Michael (Talwin): My mistake
BOB first questions
BOB Organize and think list them out
BOB 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

BOB 4 skiffs might help but it is a fire swamp
Lisa: lol
BOB 5 normal snakes, reptiles and fire newts
Michael (Talwin): So let's purchase two skiffs as the "scouts" for the fishing vessels.

Talwin: Well bob that's all I kind of got
BOB With that in mind
BOB and any help from the rest of the group with thoughts
BOB I am guessing you will click off 1 day of prep, 2 days of sailing across the river and into the swamps
Michael (Talwin): Yes?
BOB and we pick up with you venturing into the swamps looking for .... fire gems, from fire newts, in a fire swamp
BOB so very clever
Lisa: 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
Michael (Talwin): I never said I was a smart man
Michael (Talwin): :)
BOB chuckles that was directed at me
Michael (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
Michael (Talwin): Bob?
BOB grins
Lisa: you just have to listen for the noise it makes before the fire jets out of the swamp
BOB no
BOB and yes to Lisa
Michael (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?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
Carissa (Raelynn): not unless we also get a lawyer to helps us later sue when we all develop mesothelioma
Michael (Talwin): Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist
BOB See this will be fun
Michael (Talwin): Oh god Carissa. If you only knew....
Michael (Talwin): Especially because I work at a mining company
Michael (Talwin): Well frankly, I'm fading so....
