MadamePsychosis: I showed my weather forecast to people who live where it actually rains and they laughed at me

GM: chuckles

GM: So you are not getting 5 inches tomorrow?

MadamePsychosis: they don't understand the drought and if it rains at all it is a TON of rain!

MadamePsychosis: no not even close :)

GM: Hope it is enough to soak things for you

MadamePsychosis: tomorrow it is expected to be 1.14 inches - anything more than an inch a day is build an arc time!

GM: We are in the middle of Michael's grand adventure

Springity Thingity: wooo hooo!

mharmon1: Ironic considering last week

GM: Then we go back to Dragon Fen and Book Return

mharmon1: Hangs head in Shame

GM: Never Michael

GM: It is ok to miss days

MadamePsychosis: Michael did you read the story chat or at least the summary from last week?

mharmon1: I'm still knocked on my ass. It's not Covid, but man it sucks

mharmon1: :(

GM: no one should every feel pressure

MadamePsychosis: lots of good info

LorieD: Well we discussed bartering your character off for some dragon eggs, but BOB said we could do that at the cost of an alignment change

LorieD: :D

mharmon1: I have it up next to me if needed

LorieD: (Just kidding)

mharmon1: LOL

GM: Lorie has a point

GM: It would be a much easier adventure that way

MadamePsychosis: lol Lorie

LorieD: (I think that's how I remember last week... ignore me Michael)

LorieD: ( ;O) )

mharmon1: To be honest, no Lisa. That would have been the proper thing to do. I have not been my right self this past week. I do have the website open though

LorieD: (Being sick sucks... we get it)

MadamePsychosis: yes this flu that's been going around is awful

GM: My quick update is Tonight, watches, then the Salamander pool, next week (for those that live) DUN DUN DUN, you get the map and go to the pyramid for the Fire Eggs

mharmon1: No no no. Being sick sucks. Being sick with everyone being around you also sick sucks Far more. I wanted to murder my family

LemonyLemon: No, seriously, take care of yourself. Bixi can easily kill a session all by herself chatting with the locals

GM: No game next week

LorieD: (Anyone know where that Silver Dragon got off to? Would make this adventure a lot easier... IJS... )

GM: and LOL with Lemon

GM: HAH Lorie

LemonyLemon: Serious question for BOB though, and whoever else... what's the sweetest wine I will be able to order from the grocery store? moscato? prosecco?

LorieD: (:: frowns that no one befriended the dragon :: )

GM: What are you looking for Lemon, why sweet?

LorieD: (ICED WINE is the SWEETEST if you can get it...otherwise Moscato)

LemonyLemon: Because, as a friend of mine recently said, I run on sugar

GM: chuckles

LorieD: (Pink Moscato is sweeter than white)

LemonyLemon: Unfortunately no ice wine at the grocery store. I have had it once though, and it was delicious

Master TMO: Coke is sweeter

GM: you actually want a nice warm wine, a red most likely, to be calm, and relaxed with still the little bit of extra

GM: So tonight

GM: you are on watches

LemonyLemon: Yeah, no, I do not want that. Last time I got wine I mixed it with like sprite or something to make it sweeter. Thank you Lorie

GM: Talwin is up first so that others can update him on what happened when his head cold was just too much and then that spicy stew made everything come out the other end too quickly

GM: Who else wants to be up with him in those circumstances? grins

MadamePsychosis: lol

mharmon1: Just finished the summary. Holy smokes, I forgot how funny you m ake them

mharmon1: Getting into Character now

GM: That was TMO

mharmon1: It rotates right? Whoever did last weeks, I laughed

mharmon1: :)

seyfert: (I have to get off soon)

GM: That is Dragonslayers After Dark Carissa

seyfert: (and TMO has volunteered to do this week ;) )

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

GM: But we understand ;P

Master TMO: Carissa blackmailed me into doing last week's, and I tried to live up to her standard. I like that you couldn't tell the difference

Master TMO: wait... what?

GM: Go do what you need and come back hopefully soon

seyfert: lol

seyfert: will let you know - have fun all!

mharmon1 (Talwin): All of you are Characters :)

'seyfert' disconnected

mharmon1 (Talwin): get it?

MadamePsychosis: Howard can watch with Talwin

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sounds good :)

GM: Licornah on first or third?

GM: Indigo on Second

LorieD (Licornah): I'll go first so I get sleep after

springdew (Lanek): Lanek on 2nd

GM: so Howard, Talwin, Licornah and GO

GM: Indigo and Lanek

GM: adding Daphene there

Howard Plum: I am glad you are feeling better Talwin

Talwin: Thank you

Talwin: Nasty Cold

GM: then Bixi, Criagh, and Youtargim

Licornah: :: weaving on watch ::

Howard Plum: I'm sorry the stew did not sit well with you

Talwin: In this of all places!

Talwin: Shakes Head

GM: Hold your head over a lava pit that will clear it

Talwin: Don't think it was the food. Nasty catch in my breath

Licornah: Well, the steam coming off the swamp should do wonders for your system

mharmon1 (Talwin): Shut up bob. lOL

Howard Plum: I am glad you are over it now since we are heading into much more danger

Licornah: :: makes face at smell of swamp ::

Talwin: Winces

Talwin: Right.

Howard Plum: Do you think I could talk to you for a moment?

Talwin: Well, this journey couldn't possibly surprise me more hten it already has, that's for certain

Talwin: Sure

Talwin: What's on your Mind?

Licornah: :: continues weaving ::

Howard Plum: Without the sword?

Talwin: Cocks head

Howard Plum: I mean, put it down for a minute or two

Talwin: Putting it down makes no difference, he can still talk to me?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): is that true? thinking of Kel's sword ...

mharmon1 (Talwin): When I threw the sword to avoid the dissolving, we still had a lively conversation :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): about how pissed it was I threw him LOL

GM: The sword has to be ON Talwin, either on his hip or in his hand

Howard Plum: Than that would be a very odd magical sword and not the norm

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh, never mind then

Talwin: Shrugs.

Talwin: Hey ghoing to set you down for a moment

GM: It has to be close to Talwin to be able to reach his mind to talk

Talwin: Puts blankets together in anice little bed, and tucks the sword in

GM: It reacts still and will start to talk when close enough again

Talwin: Be right back

Talwin: Waves to Howard

Talwin: About fifteen feet away might do it!

Talwin: Walks 15 feet

Howard Plum: Thank you. I just thought I should let you know something.

GM: I do love that the zzzz is on the sword icon up top as Talwin does that

Howard Plum: What you do with that is up to you

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob :)

GM: becasue Lemon has not interacted with that Token

Talwin: Nods. Shoot

Howard Plum: sighs and takes a deep breath

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): angry mumbling

Howard Plum: Fire gems are known to mages as rare and with an extraordinary purpose

Talwin: Nods

Howard Plum: Fire gems can destroy magic items

Howard Plum: I do not know why your master would ask for them but I thought I should tell you.

Talwin: Absently mindedly reaches to ressure that the pommel of Reven is safetly at his side

Talwin: Cuts of the gesture

Talwin: Begins to sweat

Talwin: Y...yes?

Howard Plum: You could make your sword a sword that does not put ideas into your head

Howard Plum: If you chose to

(LINK)

Talwin: Begins to sweat more profusely

Talwin: Man it's warm tonight

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): So... when he picks the sword back up, the sword and figure out all this from reading his mind or whatever, yes?

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Because Reven has THOUGHTS

Howard Plum: It is something for you to think about

Talwin: Beings itching at at his palm absently

Talwin: S..sure. Thanks

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): only if he directs his thoughts isn't it? it doesn't just randomly reads his mind does it?

Talwin: Regains some more compsure

GM: Correct to Lisa, unless Talwin wishes to hear the sword he does not

Talwin: Thank you for your advice. I will take it under advisement

Howard Plum: You know you cannot save that soul don't you?

Talwin: Scoffs. Save?

Talwin: I don't think that soul wants to be saved Howard. I think it wants to be a weapon that will cause Havoc

Talwin: Hesistates

LorieD (Licornah): (chants quietly :: Lava, Lava, Lava :: )

Talwin: As if thinking

Howard Plum: You must either live with it as long as you keep the sword, destroy it or find a way to get it to move along to its afterlife

Talwin: I...don't see the problem with leaving it as it is. Unless it wants to move on?

Master TMO: (or pawn it off on a hapless young adventurer)

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): yes that too

mharmon1 (Talwin): At this point, Talwin would probably turn Golumn rather then let that happen

GM: Turn?

Talwin: It's....hes...a remarkable weapon and magical craft. Thus far, it hasn't forced me to do something that I would have done prior

GM: um

Master TMO: lol

Howard Plum: I just wanted to make you aware. In case when you return with her prize, she has ideas of using them other than powering a lighthouse

Talwin: I mean, ...

Talwin: Sharpens gaze

Talwin: You think she lied to me? And might use them to destroy my Sword

Howard Plum: It is hard for us to understand the relationship since we only see a small portion

Talwin: Darkenss clearly in his eyes at the thought

Howard Plum: I don't think she would do it herself

Talwin: Scowls deeper

Talwin: She would have ME? Do it?

Howard Plum: But she may ask you to think of such things

Talwin: Grasps again absentmindely at his side...

Howard Plum: She said it was cursed if I recall correctly

Talwin: Listening out of Respect of his friend, but clearly wishing this conversation was over

Talwin: Nods rather stiffly

Howard Plum: I am simply alerting you to what fire gems can do. I don't know this centaur. Maybe she wants them for the lighthouse only

Talwin: Nods again. Then sighs

Howard Plum: I would feel badly if I knew of the power of the gems and said nothing

Talwin: Yes...I won't really know until we are back

Howard Plum: That is all I had to say

-> Licornah: Licornah does know that any intelligent item means that a soul is trapped/encapuslated/bound into that item willing or unwilling

Talwin: Rather ashamed of letting his tempter show,

Talwin: I...yes. I appreciate you beign honest with me

Howard Plum: And yes if possible to get one for Branwyn while we are taking them, I knows he would appreciate it

Howard Plum: she

Licornah: :: nod ::

Talwin: More sure of himself

Talwin: Beams with Pride

Talwin: Actually I had already decided

LorieD (Licornah): (The red dragon population will dwindle after this adventure)

Talwin: If there was only one, I was taking it to Branwny, rather then Alexandria

Howard Plum: You mustn't do that!

Talwin: Smiles

Talwin: I thought about it ever since she said it

Howard Plum: She would want you to have your training

Talwin: Shakes Head

Talwin: I'm a simple swordsman. Branwny is...

Howard Plum: Accomplished and needing for little

Talwin: Waves hand parallel to the ground and waves it back and forth

Talwin: More important?

Talwin: If i"m saying that right?

Howard Plum: She would not say so

Talwin: Shrugs

Talwin: She won't have an opprotunity to say so until it's right in front of her. I would hope she would use it to further all of our goals rather then just mine

Talwin: Think about it Howard

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm a Swordsmaster. It's important to me. But think of what she could DO with that?

Talwin: I'm a Swordsmaster. It's important to me. But think of what she could DO with that?

Howard Plum: She has a habit of coming into contact with evil so having a weapon to destroy evil magic she would like it but there are other ways

Talwin: How much better her--and therefore our positions would be

Talwin: Points

Talwin: Exactly!

Talwin: Remember that blasted dag......

Talwin: Brain breaks slightly to avoid coinnecting the dagger to his own precious.....

Talwin: Sweat breaks out again

Howard Plum: And she got rid of that. Not to worry. Now is the time to focus on your own betterment

GM: Talwin and Howard should tell Licornah about that dagger

Talwin: As doublethink begins to fry his higher logic

Talwin: Not the dagger, not the sword, not the dagger, not the sword, not the dagger, not the sword, not th edagger, not the sword, noth the datter, not the sword, not the dagger, not the sword

Howard Plum: Branwyn picked up an intelligent evil dagger from Lady Macbeth a drow queen in one of our prior adventures

Talwin: Sweating more

Licornah: :: looks up from her weaving :: She did what now?

Talwin: It's ah....

Licornah: I'm assuming she destroyed it?

Howard Plum: It scalded her palm and took years to get rid of the evil stain on her palm from her using it

Talwin: Eyes glancing to the sword, to make sure it's where it was left

Licornah: :: frowns and shakes head :: Mages, am I right?

Talwin: To his own eyes, it glows a dull radiance....

Talwin: he...hehe. Yeah. Mages......

Howard Plum: Yes after we defeated the shadows and Macbeth she dropped it in a witch's cauldron and it was destroyed

Licornah: :: Looks at Talwin ::

Talwin: Knuckels are white, but regaining facial composure

Howard Plum: Oh pick up your sword again Talwin. I'm sorry. I just wanted your head clear for a moment

Licornah: Talwin, you know... now would be a good time for a heart to heart with your traveling companion

GM: Lemon would have liked that Macbeth story arc

Talwin: Squeaks

Talwin: Nope

Licornah: Make sure you know who you're traveling into battle with

Talwin: NOt a good time

Talwin: I need some ah, fresh air.

Licornah: :: shrug :: As you see fit, Talwin

Talwin: Walkes with purpose, but slowly back to the Sword. Picks it up and resheathes it

Talwin: Grumbles

Licornah: :: resumes weaving,and shaking her head, thinking of the Drow. Thinks of her friend... ::

Talwin: We need to talk soon. But I need a moment

Talwin: mumbling to the Sword

GM: I will let Michael roll the encounter check

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: What troubles you, friend?

Licornah: :: mumbles :: Picking up drow weapons ... only a mage :: laughs ::

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Apparently an encounter check friend! Be on your gaurd. We shall speak later!

Howard Plum: It was not a good thing but our intervening stopped a war

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: en garde!

Talwin: [d20 = 2]

mharmon1 (Talwin): You are shittibg me!

Howard Plum: It was because she was a mage that she picked it up. Talwin might have picked it up and it would have killed him most likely

Howard Plum: It needed to be her

Licornah: :: looks up :: OH I'm glad it stopped a war, but the Drow are just very resourceful with their magic.

Talwin: I got lucky with mine!

Talwin: Grins!

Licornah: Silvermoon gets all sorts of travelers who tangle with the Drow on the wrong side

Licornah: and many Drow are not kind to outsiders...

Talwin: Yea...we know

Talwin: Remembering the battle...

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): It was Bixi's first!

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): She just couldn't carry it lol

Howard Plum: They were trying to conquer the grey elves

Talwin: I always had a respect for magic, but that day was...something else

Vapor rats: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(19)] [d20 = 4]

Attack [4] ->[ATTACK (M)] [at Howard Plum] [Hit-AC: 15 vs. 10 ] [AC: 15 ] [MISS]

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): think it was grey elves

Howard Plum: EEK!

Master TMO: and Ilero's last, iirc.

Howard Plum: What was that?!?

GM: Suddenly Howard feels a SWARM go by his leg

Talwin: Talwin, instantly alert

Talwin: What was what?

Howard Plum: Rustling!

GM: He can make an observation check or Wisdom

GM: which ever is better

Howard Plum: Many many tiny creatures!

Howard Plum: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 8) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 4]

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): yay!

GM: Howard spots a swarm of small rats, misty, Vapor Rats

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob, I've run into an issue again where i'ts not letting me roll obs. Going to logout and backin again okay?

Howard Plum: It's a swarm of misty vapor rats!!!

GM: around his legs and into the group

GM: stay Michael

mharmon1 (Talwin): OK

Howard Plum: They will bite all the sleepers!

GM: Will fix afterwards

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): ghost rats!

Howard Plum: There are too many to kill one by one I think!

GM: Howard then Talwin then Licornah

Howard Plum: watches Licornah

Talwin: Are we talking to them or killing htem?

Talwin: Voice a little high pitched

LorieD (Licornah): (I always want to parlay with the dragon... )

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): if Licornah can get rid of them I'm all for that

GM: They are moving through Howard to Talwin

Talwin: Looks to Licornah

LorieD (Licornah): (I'm guessing you all think differently ... I'm usually last, so I don't parlay)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Mumbling to Reven, we still might have an opportunity, give it a moment

Talwin: Mumbling to Reven, we still might have an opportunity, give it a moment

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): otherwise I suggest waking everyone to get them out of the way and then setting them all on fire - but that's just me :D

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Yeah, if you ever want to try something, you should speak up. I think most of us would be fine holding until you get a chance to try whatever you're thinking

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Oh shoot, Lisa, that was a good idea. Sorry)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: All I want to do is destroy evil with you. And those are definitely evil!

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): last resort time

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Kill them! Save your idiot friends!

Lanek: snores

GM: As Licornah speaks with them they pause and become gaseous (Gaseous form effect)

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You know, for an "evil" sword, I really don' thtink you are that bad.

Licornah [Speak with Animals]: [Translation] No need to be afraid... as I said, we're visitors.

Howard Plum: Where did they go?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I'm not evil! I'm just imprisioned. Being imprisoned in a sword makes you realize there's no time for hesitation!

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Yeah, while I wait for this interesting conversation between the rat pack and licornah to conclude, I need to warn you. Howard says Fire Gems can destroy you. We can't be having that so...any ideas?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: WHAT! I'm a sword, how should I know!? Why doesn't this Howard have any ideas? If he is truly your friend, he should be willing to tell you how to stop such a thing

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Er, no? I think Howard told me because he wanted me to be aware of what could happen and be sure that only I had a say in what may happen. I don't think he left anything out.

GM: After talking with Licornah

Licornah [Speak with Animals]: [Translation] Be well

[TURN] Talwin

Licornah: :: puts her hand up to Talwin and Howard :: They are here for dinner :: points in the direction of the corpse they referenced ::

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Perhaps not him, but think of the others... some of them have been acting very suspiciously

Howard Plum: The dragon thing?

Howard Plum: They can have that!

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I only know this because YOU know this. I can not see into their minds.

Howard Plum: backs away from it and moves to stand in front of a group of the sleepers

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Yeah....I think I'm not the best reference you should be going off of. Remember I almost strangled a citizen who irritated me

Licornah: :: Nods :: They are hungry

Talwin: Stands Aside. "Help youselves"

Licornah: :: sits back down and resumes weaving ::

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: You were probably just hungry

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: In the words of the immortal bard Ms. Swift, "Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn yaaaaa"

Howard Plum: I think one of them tried to bite me

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): ....I can't take this conversation seriously at this point....Give me a moment while I die laughing

Howard Plum: Are they ghost rats? They looked like they disappeared

Licornah: :: looks up :: Oh and just to confirm, there are fire breathing things all around they say...

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): lol

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): All I will say is that the sword clearly has great taste

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm an Idiot!

GM: You heard bones snapping

mharmon1 (Talwin): Your an iditot!

LemonyLemon (Daphene): That happens sometimes when you chomp down too quickly, doesn't mean they're EATING them

Craigh: Maybe they were hallucinating

Ghost: Dreaming

Craigh: Did anyone say dreaming? I said hallucinating.

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's just me and you, and I didn't say that

Bixi Fizzlebang: Do we have anyone here who can talk to dead people? Maybe we should wake someone?

Craigh: (was "so quiet" what the ghost said Bob, or you?)

Ghost: Listening

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well, sorry then!

Bixi Fizzlebang: (to craigh) That's unfortunate. I would have liked to help a ghost

Craigh: Hmm.. yeah, I understand.

Craigh: Let me try something off the wall

Craigh: "Listening"

Bixi Fizzlebang: Were you listening hard enough?

Master TMO (Craigh): clarification: Craigh *said* the word "Listening". He was repeating the Ghost's last words

GM: Yes

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi is still accusing him of not being good at listening

Master TMO (Craigh): ok

Craigh: I dunno. Did you hear anything?

Master TMO (Craigh): (shocked! Shocked I am!)

Craigh: Well, maybe it will say something else for us to try.

Craigh: What do you say, Ghost?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ghost, do you want to be talking or listening?

Ghost: Learning

Craigh: gestures for Bixi to give it her shot.

Bixi Fizzlebang: ugh, fine

Bixi Fizzlebang: Learning

Master TMO (Craigh): *lightning bolt strikes*

GM: the soft call of a night bird

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's all Craigh's fault!

GM: saying all the way all the way

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is this ghost only 16?

GM: grins

Bixi Fizzlebang: Learning what?

springdew (Lanek): trying to tell us it's a one winged dove?

Craigh: It's our friendly Verb Ghost

Indigo: It only knows ing words

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): At least it didn't ghost us

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): nice one

Craigh: Hey ghost, what do you think about 'discovering'? Or 'dying'?

Licornah: :: continues :: I'm sure Bixi :: motions to her :: Already asked, but if you have a name other than Ghost, let us kow. I'm Licornah.

LorieD (Licornah): (Kow = know)

Bixi Fizzlebang: It said listening and learning. Maybe it just wants to hang out with us and see what's going on

Craigh: And Dreaming.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talwin just listenes, afraid if he says anything the Ghost will try and talk to him

Indigo: Maybe it's a spy ghost!

Talwin: Talwin just listenes, afraid if he says anything the Ghost will try and talk to him

Licornah: :: nods :: Well, last night we met ghostly rats, so maybe this is their minder?

Bixi Fizzlebang: But not "hang out" (and that is an inside joke for when Carissa reads the chat.)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

Licornah: This is much nicer than the fire breathing creatures I expected to be our downfall

Talwin: You mean...the Pied Piper Licornah?

Licornah: :: looks :: All I did is wish them well on their meal....

Talwin: Smiles

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: You should check and make sure this ghost hasn't done something to your friends

Talwin: Thank you again for that by the way.

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I've heard of ghosts that can steal a body without anyone knowing the difference

Licornah: :: shrug :: It was nothing...

Lanek: if they only do -ing words, mebbe we should call them Ing

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I"m sorry, did you not hear bixi waking us up over and over? I'm pretty sure she's the same ann...........let's just leave it there yeah?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: The purple one might be helping this force

Licornah: :: resumes preparing for the pacing ahead and pondering how to avoid the pitfalls ::

Lanek: them the ghost, not them the rats

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Uh....are...you sure? Doesn't seem like much is different

Indigo: That's a good name for them

Indigo: You all right Youtargim? You were strange last night.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Does Talwin notice anything different......?

mharmon1 (Talwin): About the group?

User has gone AFK. (LorieD)

Daphene: Yout is fine, he just wanted an excuse to snuggle up with Rae

GM: I would say that Talwin notices that the group is very cohesive on paying attention to Bixi's and Indigo's ideas about a ghost

Daphene: stage whispers to Howard "I think you should go for it before they get too close"

Indigo: Ohhh are they doing that now?

Youtargim: Thank you Indigo

Youtargim: and ummm I will let Rae speak for what she likes

Talwin: Hey uh

Indigo: Hmmm

Talwin: I'm not uh, magically inclined per say

Talwin: But at the risk of sounding paranoid...

Ghost: Sounding

Talwin: Is anyone feeling different? or a little....off? Maybe?

Daphene: Well, I'm not feeling great after getting blasted by that dragon...

Talwin: Like....they have their own personal Reven hanging out with them? Maybe?

Talwin: Grunts

Indigo: So its not just us

Bixi Fizzlebang: You're accusing US of being possessed??

Master TMO (Craigh): well, it seems completely harmless, right? Other than that 4d100 roll on Craigh's psyche that had no visible effects. ;)

Save [22] [Target 16] -> [for Daphene] [vs Bixi Fizzlebang] [TARGET-SAVED]

Bixi Fizzlebang: I was arguing with Craigh!

Craigh: So you didn't just hear the ghost say 'Sounding'?

Talwin: Right...about the Ghost right?

GM: I see what is wrong Lemon

Indigo: I didn't hear sounding

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, but not about whether it EXISTED, we were arguing about HOW to talk to it

Talwin: No I heard that.BUt honestly, with Reven in my head, most of the time I tune out anything that I don't notice is directly aimed at me

Talwin: Sorry

Talwin: Hey

Talwin: Holds palms up

Bixi Fizzlebang: But yes, I did hear sounding

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ing, how are you feeling?

Talwin: I passed on the Warning., if you feel fine, I'll drop it

Craigh: But Indigo didn't? Weird.

Talwin: Just never known him to really give much a shit about you all

GM: [+1] [d10+1 = 9]

Craigh: Wel, maybe not weird.

Talwin: Winces

Daphene's health adjusted by +9

Talwin: At the bluntness of his own words

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM! I don't want them to hurt YOU

Indigo: Not just now. A ways back I did

Craigh: I don't konw that I'm 'fine' with it, but so far it seems harmless. Could just be a smart MockingJay, for all I know.

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Hey you never know, Maybe I just got them to give you some gruding repsect and wariness of your oberservational talents

Daphene: The most insidious evils start as seeming to be harmless

Talwin: Right

Talwin: Cocks head

Daphene: glances at Talwin's sword

Talwin: Smiles slightly evily

Talwin: I would know

Craigh: Oh, and thank the sword for it's concern.

Master TMO (Craigh): (its)

Talwin: Oh he gave me an update, he's more worried about you being possessed and harming me then about you. SOrry. He did seem outraged enough for me to give that update

Master TMO (Craigh): that's the one confusing grammar rule I consistently get wrong

Talwin: I still love you though!

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): map is weird for me I only see Indigo and when I click on him the light doesn't change but not important at the moment

GM: No Map

Craigh: I don't think you've got much to worry about from me, but sure.

Talwin: Seriously, if you are okay, I'll drop it. But I'm not a priest, healer, or ...well much of anything

Talwin: But if you are fine, I trust you

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Your intellect is failing you. You think the possessed person would ADMIT to such a thing? No. The spirit will try to blend in

Craigh: As fine as ever, I suppose. Hopefully that stays.

Craigh: How are you holding up, by the way? Feeling better this morning?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm a little hungry, but otherwise fine

Bixi Fizzlebang: How are the ghost rats?

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): For heaven's sake Reven. I'm not going to go stab people on the offchance they might be possessed. We'll just be on the lookout for the next couple of days for any spirit., If we see it, I give you my word that if it's well...evil? By my definition not yours...you can be the first to have fun with it. Deal?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I said nothing about stabbing people! But now that you mention it...

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): And hey, I still don't know all your abiltiies. If you see the damn thing and I don't, just tell me where to swing.

Image: Fire pond

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Sorry, having some of the weirest onversations with Reven is both fun and attention splitting. Bear with me :) )

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Just watch them when they get to the gems. That warning, accompanied with how powerful these are... well... there certainly could be evil forces trying to sneak into this mission

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Goddamit. I thought I was already Paranoid, you are making me Freaking Mental! I do mean that in a good way

The time is 9:00 AM

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Don't randomly stab, but don't blindly trust

GM: Heading out into the Fire Swamps

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Yeah, well. This is a partnership. I never said I was infallible. If you notice something, it's better to say something

GM: There is a new map you will arrive on shortly

Master TMO (Craigh): We've had the Rats of Unusual Density, what's next?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I just want y'all to know that Talwin keeps bringing up murding y'all even though the sword didn't say that. lol

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: You never believe me

GM: LOL with Lemon and it is an excellent thing that you have done to create that chaos for Michael/Talwin

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol TMO

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): TMO, love that

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Trust but Verify my friend. I never disbelieve you. I am aware that perception is important. Now shut up I'm trying to figure out if I need to stab someone....

Talwin: Talwin is friendly as always, but has an odd glint in his eyes, as if searching for odd whisps, or something that is itching his skin. Something maybe just hovering around his companions.

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: (lol, for that, Reven will indeed shut up)

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 9]

Talwin: Talwin is squiniting almost comically at his compainnos

Talwin: Hand grapsed tightly around the pommel of Reven

Daphene: Do you have something in your eye, Talwin?

Daphene: Here, let me look

GM: This map is a bit of a mess but you can get a good feel for the chaos and fire and such in the swamps

Indigo: is looking down to make sure he doesn't step on a fire spout thing

Daphene: attempts to grab his head

Master TMO (Craigh): grrreat.... violenty paranoid greatsword master...

Talwin: Jumps back

Talwin: Hissing

Talwin: Calms down

Talwin: Er

Talwin: Sorry

Daphene: Wow, fine, have painful eyes for all I care

Talwin: Im uh

Talwin: Trying to look for something

Talwin: Rather sheepishly

Talwin: My bad

Daphene: It helps to see things if you open your eyes

Talwin: (that being said, does Talwin notice anything?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (that being said, does Talwin notice anything?)

Talwin: I think they are clean Reven

GM: You mean other than the fire in the bushes all around you?

Talwin: Mumbles to the Sword

Talwin: Turnign his attention back to the Swamp

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Fool, you will not be able to tell just by looking. Watch, and wait, and be wary.

GM: You can see as up ahead you descend deeping down into the swamps, the landscape with flames and smoke all around you

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Reven, honestly you'll need to help. I'm kind of trying to avoid stepping into a magma pit at the moment. Cant you like, IDK use part of my attention span or sometihng?

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 15]

Indigo: At least it shouldn't be cold over there

Bixi Fizzlebang: Any of those peppers yet?

Talwin: Nods

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: If I could, I would already have done so, I can guarantee you that

GM: Bixi can see that these plants are adapted to the waves of smoke and occasional flame that sweeps through

GM: and yes she can spot several plants where there are small peppers, bright red

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

mharmon1 (Talwin): Maybe we should see if we could expand your repetoir of abilities with a mage. You never know. I tcould help

Talwin: Maybe we should see if we could expand your repetoir of abilities with a mage. You never know. I tcould help

Talwin: Whispers to Reven

GM: I did not use the swamp effects and the fire effects to hopefully make the map quick and easy to use

GM: You can picture the water lapping and the fire fanning

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Are we on the Fire Pond Map bob?)

Licornah: are we entering via the green trees or the stonehenge area?

GM: Yes

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Or did I get confused)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: YOUR FRIEND JUST TOLD YOU THE MAGES WANT TO DESTROY ME

GM: Upper right corner

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: If you are the corrupted one, I'm going to be so pissed

Bixi Fizzlebang: Can I harvest some of those peppers?

Bixi Fizzlebang: ooc but whatever, still works

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): fudge

GM: Sure

Bixi Fizzlebang: harvests peppers

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): we're very tiny if I don't super zoom in

GM: It is the scale

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): we have lots of staggering to do if we need to get to the pool in the middle

LorieD (Licornah): (Map centering doesn't work for me... the arrow button does nothing)

GM: to protect you from the reach of their weapons

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I think you misunderstand. He said that is what Fire Gems could be used FOR, not that he or any mages would necessarily do it to you. Besides, you scare people with your very presence. I seriously doubt a mage would dare approach you for shits and Grins Reven, even with a Fire Gem. Oh, and by the way, they would also have to overcome me, and about 8 other people. I rarely say this, but this time you should calm down just a tad eh?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): the gold button doesn't slide it around?

Master TMO (Craigh): if you have a mouse wheel, pressing it lets you move the map around

GM: You should be able to zoom in and then move around

GM: Several burning areas to try to avoid

LorieD (Licornah): (Nope... I tried sliding, dragging... it doesn't make the maps more usable)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Can also click your Scroll Wheel and drag the image around

LorieD (Licornah): :: shrugs :: So I just give up and hope I can see stuff

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I think you are trying to pretend like they don't mistrust me incredibly. For no reason, might I add.

GM: and weave your way to the center of the burning lava pit to try to find your map

GM: you did plan on how to get it out of that right?

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You really care what they think? I have your back, is that enough?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Pff, bob, I forget to plan to eat my breakfast before I face the workday.

Indigo: So we're looking for a tree that isn't on fire, Craigh?

Talwin: Looks at Craigh

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: I do not. But I think you should. If I am destroyed, no matter, I won't be around anymore to feel the loss.

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Well, neither will I so....win win?

springdew (Lanek): i also just have blackness and Indigo

Craigh: Salamander pool

Howard Plum: Yes Indigo he said it's in the pool

Craigh: 2,142 staggers fromi the pillar to a salamander pool.

Howard Plum: Not a place you want to swim

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: You will miss me when you realize how many dangers my warnings have been able to help you avoid

Indigo: Ohhh

LorieD (Licornah): (Spring you need a map titled FIRE POND)

LorieD (Licornah): (We're in the upper right corner of that)

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Reven, that would Mean I am dead too.

Image: Fire pond

Craigh: Be careful though. He fell in whatever he burnt his leg off with after leaving the pool, so it's between the pillar and pool.

Indigo: Too bad we don't have a stone net

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

Indigo: is there such thing as a stone net?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: (lol, nvm bestie!!!)

Howard Plum: sighs

springdew (Lanek): thanks

Indigo: I remember that! Fire pits with yellow crusty stuff on them before they explode

mharmon1 (Talwin): Can we raise the earth inside the pond until the gems are above the liquid?

Indigo: Been looking for those

Talwin: Can we raise the earth inside the pond until the gems are above the liquid?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): this is the map part

Craigh: A mage hand or telekineses would probably work. What do you tihnk Haward?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): we need a stone tablet to rise from the pool

Howard Plum: I don't know those spells

Talwin: Ah, the Stone Tablet

Talwin: Snaps Fingers

Talwin: We have to do that part first right?

Indigo: Yup

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): looking, looking,

Talwin: Thinks

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): This sounds like something Bixi SHOULD have

Talwin: Anything besides the Salemanders live in these pools?

Howard Plum: Maybe the priests have better spells

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hard pass on that Lemon

mharmon1 (Talwin): Er, meant the sword, just in case I confused myself

Indigo: Maybe Licornah can ask a salamander to bring us the tablet

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: I thoguht about that. But eventually, I highly doubt they would give us a FireGem.

GM: Both Talwin and Michael being driven MAD MAD by Lemon

Craigh: Licornah, Speaker to Salamanders?

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): lol, on being besties with the sword? You already are

Master TMO (Craigh): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): I have some stone softening thing? And a lot of wood shaping things. But I don't see anything that would raise a stone out of lava

Licornah: :: looks :: Ummm, I'm not sure they are open to chatting

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): the newts have the gems, not the salamanders

Licornah: I can try... but aren't they generally evil creatures?

Talwin: Talwin shakes head

Indigo: well yes

Talwin: Sorry Licornah

Talwin: I didn't think about that

Indigo: But weren't the ghost rats evil too?

Licornah: I am more thank willing to try

Licornah: Just want to be transparent that it might not work

Indigo: I don't even see any. Do you?

Talwin: Shrugs. If you are comfortable with it, I would be grateful. Do you want us to be ready in case it wants to take a ;chunck out of you?

Licornah: The rats? I don't know if they were evil... they were hungry

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): lol, ghosts. transparent.

Licornah: Maybe...

LorieD (Licornah): (:D)

Craigh: I think he hid it *near* the pool, not in lava. After all, he expected to be able to retrieve it himself.

Indigo: Too bad Thistle isn't here. She could just jump on it and get it

Craigh: So we should be able to get it.

LorieD (Licornah): (We need an ice mage... freeze the lava)

Talwin: Chuckles to himself

Indigo: Near the pool is good

Talwin: It might be that simple Craigh

Talwin: Should we just go near and look around first?

Talwin: Before examing the pool itself?

Talwin: I would laugh at our efforts if it turned out it was right on the ground next to the pool

Craigh: I think so, yes.

Talwin: Nods

Craigh: Pretty sure he did hide it though. He was being chased, he said.

Talwin: You and me for a quick looksie?

Talwin: Huh

Talwin: Srhugs

Talwin: Shall all of us go take a look?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Where did he say it was hidden? In a... tree trunk? Pillar? Are we still looking for the map?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I got confused. Three characters is too many for me

Indigo: Sure. I wouldn't get too close to the pool unless you see it. Don't want anything to grab you and pull you in

GM: You have the map that you know of

Talwin: Nods Gravely

GM: You know he hid the map in a pool, stone map, leads to where the fire gems are

GM: You know there are Salamanders guarding the pool

LorieD (Licornah): (stone in lava)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Salamanders gaurding Lava

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ok

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ah

mharmon1 (Talwin): So all of us proceed, to kill the Salamnders

Master TMO (Craigh): it can't be lava, has to be water.

Master TMO (Craigh): maybe boiling water, but still water

mharmon1 (Talwin): Salamnders gaurding Water

mharmon1 (Talwin): So, Lorie TMO and I in front? I just want to make sure I don't get Licornah damaged by talking to an evil creature

mharmon1 (Talwin): rather it bite me than her for just chatting iwth the damn thing

Master TMO (Craigh): actual lava would ruiin a stone tablet just like water would a paper one

LorieD (Licornah): (I would prefer to be in the middle... )

mharmon1 (Talwin): TMO! I have a Talkin Sword in my Head. I DON"T Need Physics lessons right now!

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

GM: Craigh points out the one lone tree that is not burning

Howard Plum: The salamanders have lances too he said

Talwin: Then we'll take point with Licornia in the Center. If they don't seem like speaking, we go to plan B

Talwin: Reven LOVES plan B

Master TMO (Craigh): Michael - there is *always* time for physics lessons!

Talwin: So should be fun

GM: laughs

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL TMO

GM: so move to where you want to be

mharmon1 (Talwin): I know TMO, my ICY driveway reminded me of a basic one yesterday

GM: descending down into the fire swamps

mharmon1 (Talwin): Crazy right?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hey, Reven is being nice and quiet right now!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Mostly because Lemon needs to pay attention or she won't know what's going on

mharmon1 (Talwin): So. Talwi is already in Front, we'll just add Craigh and Licornah and whoever wants to slay some creaters

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

Master TMO (Craigh): which tree on the map are we headed to?

LorieD (Licornah): (probably the sexy brown one)

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOLOLOL

Master TMO (Craigh): got it, see the line now

LorieD (Licornah): (Those green ones are actually red herrings)

LorieD (Licornah): (When BOB said the only one not burning, I realized the gig was up)

LorieD (Licornah): (I count at least 15 trees not buring...)

mharmon1 (Talwin): So...assuming the entire group wants to approach?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Speak now or forever hold your peace?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): yes we'll follow you in whatever order you want

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yep, agreed

LorieD (Licornah): (^^^)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Nah, just trying to make sure everyone knew the game plan. I hate assuming people know what's up, because that would mean I was a complete ass when I am lost :)

Talwin: So bob, it looks like we are n a rough Spear pattern, Criagh and I are next to Licornah, iwth enough space for her to speak, but not enough to not get in front of her to deflect an attack

mharmon1 (Talwin): Should we all Roll perceptiona nd obs as we approach?

GM: nods, and you have flames on your left side

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 7]

GM: from the brush burning

mharmon1 (Talwin): So avoiding the burning bush...

mharmon1 (Talwin): Saying a quick prayer at my own joke

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): We approach in said pattern relatively close together

mharmon1 (Talwin): While rolling Obs and Perception to avoid some sort of Meteor from killing us

GM: Talwin can see the burning starting in front of him

GM: and the burned out bushes beyond that

GM: it is getting warmer

Talwin: Talwin cautiously attempts to cirlce around the actively burning section to the more "ashy" section beyond

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 16]

mharmon1 (Talwin): Without scalding himself or his compaions

Talwin: Without scalding himself or his compaions

Talwin: Carefuly testing each step before moving on to the next

Talwin: ....

Talwin: Hold up a moment everyone. As we get to the more

Talwin: "Ashy" area, just want to take another qhick look

mharmon1 (Talwin): (I just rolled, so won't roll, but for dramatic effect)

Indigo: nods

Talwin: Continues Cautiously

GM: You have brambles in front of you Talwin

springdew (Lanek): sigh, sorry i have to go

Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 20]

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oop, sorry bob

mharmon1 (Talwin): My bad

LorieD (Licornah): (Night Spring - Happy New Year!!!)

GM: Moving into them

springdew (Lanek): happy new year! i will see you next year

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): sorry Spring. Have a good night and a Happy New Year!

'springdew' disconnected

mharmon1 (Talwin): Happy New year Spring!!!

GM: YES to Spring

Craigh: is too busy counting to pay proper attention

mharmon1 (Talwin): We LOVE YOU!

Master TMO (Craigh): Happy New Year Spring!

GM: Craigh knows that he is close, within 25 to 50 yards of the pool he said

mharmon1 (Talwin): So bob, these tings are not burned to dusty ash right? Just charred Brambles? I'm sorry, I must have asked the wrong question. I don't see a way aroudn this, just want to clarify for my own plans

LorieD (Licornah): (pointy sword, swipey at brambles, keep moving)

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): Good Idea

LorieD (Licornah): (make the ranger, ranger... LOL )

mharmon1 (Talwin): Snort

GM: Correct, not ash, burned by something but not all clear ash

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, she tried to ranger last time and got blasted by a baby dragon

Talwin: Proceeds, gently , keeping it slow enough that comrades can ...comfortably...be keeping pace

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Not today, Satan!

Talwin: Proceeds, gently , keeping it slow enough that comrades can ...comfortably...be keeping pace

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL. WOW

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey, Rangers are Aweomse!

LorieD (Licornah): (Poor Daphene is learning to ranger... this is probably not the best training course)

mharmon1 (Talwin): So, I will keep inching my Icon up, and assume the others are "on my heel" bob? Is that Okay?

Craigh: Trial By Fire - literally!

Master TMO (Craigh): that was OOC

Master TMO (Craigh): the Alt didn't take

Talwin: Croaks a laugh in the dry air

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh shoot. Sorry TMO

mharmon1 (Talwin): Didn't see the OOC in time

Master TMO (Craigh): np

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It works both ways lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Just want it clear that I am near Licornah for a chat first if it's possible. Otherwse, keeping moving forward simply for time sake. I can adjust if anyone needs or roll something just let mek now when :()

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): my guys have nothing useful to roll so they are just following

Licornah: :: pokes her spear at the ground... in case of traps, snares, lava, hidden evil creatures... surprise treasure, etc. ::

Master TMO (Craigh): keep it going, doing fine! Craigh is concentrating on orienteering

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): surprise treasure would be nice

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Does surprise treasure ever happen?

mharmon1 (Talwin): So, Talwin is going right up to the space between the Trees. He will look for the safest next path through the clearly burning ash, towards the pool directly

LorieD (Licornah): (Not in BOB's world :: laughs ::)

Master TMO (Craigh): we got a chair!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not in my experience Lemon :)

Master TMO (Craigh): and door hinges

mharmon1 (Talwin): So bob, this is going to just be a showcase, you don't have to approve or anything. Moving Character now

GM: Both were definately surprises

GM: You can roll to spot the salamanders

GM: before moving

mharmon1 (Talwin): Gotcha

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 9]

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): very good

GM: Talwin can see one Salamander right in front of where he was planning on going

LorieD (Licornah): (Okay, gang... I can try and parlay with the dragon here, but there could be an element of surprise if you'd prefer slash and burn)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Stops. Flinging out a hand gently

Talwin: Stops. Flinging out a hand gently

Talwin: There

Talwin: Slowly Points

Talwin: Licornah? If you would like to chat I'm fine, it might even turn out well! But, if you prefer, we can take the hits for you and just go in quick as we can

Talwin: Up to you

Craigh: walks blindly into Talwin's elbow

Talwin: Sorry Craigh

Talwin: murmers

Licornah: :: Nods :: Okay... I'll give it a shot

Talwin: Slowly points

Talwin: Let's wait for th eothers

Talwin: We'll need backup if this goes bad

Licornah [Elvish]: [Translation] Hail there... might we have a word?

Hail there... might we have a word?

[understood by: Licornah, Daphene]

Talwin: Everyone, make your roles and prayers to whatever gods your may worship

mharmon1 (Talwin): OOC

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can I do that now?

Licornah [Speak with Animals]: [Translation] :: smiles :: I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand. We're just looking to pass?

:: smiles :: I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understand. We're just looking to pass?

[understood by: Licornah]

Elemental, Fire Kin, Salamander 1 [Orc]: [Translation] The fires will cleanse you

The fires will cleanse you

[understood by: ]

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know how

Licornah [Speak with Animals]: [Translation] :: turns to the group :: I'm sorry, I don't think we are communicating well

:: turns to the group :: I'm sorry, I don't think we are communicating well

[understood by: Licornah]

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I want to cast it by Talwin

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Unless this talk is going really well

mharmon1 (Talwin): Cast on Licornah

Licornah: Sorry all, I don't think we are communicating well

Licornah: :: lowers spear and shows her holy symbol ::

mharmon1 (Talwin): (You will def want to cast on Talwin then. I think his resistance to breath is less then Licornah)

Licornah: :: turns to Talwin :: I'm not sure... they are speaking, but we aren't ...

Elemental, Fire Kin, Salamander 1: [DAMAGE (M)] Tail Lash [TYPE: fire,magic +2 (1d6=2)] [d6 = 2]

mharmon1 (Talwin): Wait!

mharmon1 (Talwin): STOP

Talwin: Sorry

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): NO!

Bixi Fizzlebang: I wanted to cast the thing first!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

GM: The Salamander decided to rush forward and stab at Talwin with its spear

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's a 50ft cube, I dont' know how to do that

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No, I was trying to cast while they were still talking

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob, we were honeslty in good faith trying to plan for this. If you say we can't fine, but we were trying to cast bless chant before this conversation.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): This is not ok

GM: Just a moment

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was just going to do bless, didn't realize I had chant

GM: Bixi can cast on Licornah no problem, just drag that spell over to her token

GM: that will give her that protection

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can put it up to 60 yards away and it's a 50 ft cube

mharmon1 (Talwin): That was all I had for that, so I'm good with goig back to Combat now....

GM: Chant you can do instead, but it means that Bixi has to stay there and so does Licornah, within the raidus

GM: Bless is cast on a person and they can move

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): My description does not say that

GM: That is a 50 foot cube around Licornah

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): chant does lock you in place and you can't do anything but chant

LorieD (Licornah): (Chant is what it sounds like... you have to blather on as a priest... and your target has to stay to listen to it; Bless is a one and done sort of things for on the go)

Master TMO (Craigh): she should probably be a bit closer to the front, but not al the way

mharmon1 (Talwin): I just wanted to make sure Licornah had that protection before Talwin and Craigh get it on

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

LorieD (Licornah): (Chant works well when you are in a close quarter or don't have to move)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm not going to try for chant, because I definitely wasn't going to realize I had that before combat started

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But I *was* legitimately figuring out where to put bless

Bless

GM: Nods to Lemon, so drag Bless onto Licornah and she will have that effect

GM: You can also drag that effect onto Bixi and on Daphene

GM: that will be the three in that cube when you cast

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It says I determine at what range to cast it... so Licornah is the closest person I can reach, or?

GM: You can go out to your Range, but then a 50 foot cube centered on that spot

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah. Who is the closest to Talwin that I can reach?

GM: What is your range?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): up to 60 yards

mharmon1 (Talwin): You want to encompass the most amount of people about to be Fried. Remember, we were all trying to stay together

mharmon1 (Talwin): You got this :)

GM: So Talwin is about 70 feet 24 yards away

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can I reach Howard or Indigo?

mharmon1 (Talwin): If he's out of range, do with maximum affect :)

GM: Yes

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If I can reach Howard, that's right in the middle, that should hit the most?

GM: Range of 60 yards, Talwin is 24 yards out front of you

GM: You can try that

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): 50 ft cube from Howard will still reach Talwin?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, perfect. Yes, that

GM: That gives you a Bless on each of them but not your two

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, that's fine, my two are idiots

GM: So drag the Bless Effect over to each of their tokens

GM: LOL

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): that one is dead already

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Are you attacking the dead one?

GM: There you go

mharmon1 (Talwin): I think my mere prescense is spazzing out the game. BUt I think that was my two actions. Moving, and attacking

[TURN] Daphene - [(ATK:3,ranged) | (ROD:3; STAFF:3; WAND:3; POISON:3; SPELL:3)]

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Have we seen the third one yet?

[TURN] Bixi Fizzlebang - [IFT: TYPE(kobold,goblin); ATK: 1 | IFT:TYPE(gnoll,bugbear,ogre,troll,giant,titan); AC: 4]

Licornah: I'll drop the spell as I move closer to Talwin

Licornah: [TURNUNDEAD] [as Level 8] 20 [NO TARGETS] [NOTHING TURNED!] [d20 = 20]

Talwin: My apolgoizes. I'k;m sorry. I'm logging out and back in.

'mharmon1' disconnected

LorieD (Licornah): (Whoops... I meant to end my turn)

[ROUND 3]

'mharmon1' connected

GM: Michael is back

GM: Youhave the one Salamander on the edge of the pool

GM: What do you want to do?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): still in initiative mode?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Okay. That is MUCH better. Holy smokes

GM: You can be

mharmon1 (Talwin): Okay, let's approach slowly. It hasn't breathed any fire?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Indigo needs to take a round to pick up his swords and sheathe them

mharmon1 (Talwin): Can we taunt it out of the pool and to us?

GM: Yes to Lisa that is good

GM: How will you Michael?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Taunt it?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hadn't gotten that far yet

mharmon1 (Talwin): Was seeing if that was a valid idea with the rest of the group

mharmon1 (Talwin): Licornah was great at gettign the other one to attack me :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): maybe we could do a repeat?

GM: What is the goal here?

Talwin: If I am correct, to get the Stone Map

mharmon1 (Talwin): Which is in the Pond

mharmon1 (Talwin): In which a Salemander is in

Indigo: picks up his sword and sheathes them

mharmon1 (Talwin): Am I correct so far?

GM: And who in your group can go into the pond to get it?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I nominate Yout

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm not even thinking about that until we have dealt with the Salemander IN the poind

mharmon1 (Talwin): If we can get it to come to us, we don't even have to screw with the Pond yet

Master TMO (Craigh): I think Bob is implying we need the salamander in the pool to get the tablet for us.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): we have a pain suppression potion - fire pond diving will kill you but you won't feel it at least

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh my god. I'm confused but that does make sense

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm sorry Bob, wasn't sure that was where you were going with that

mharmon1 (Talwin): Was thinking I was just attacked by two Salamanders and had no desire to be melted while dealing with antoher :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): So...should Lorie?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Would you like to have a conversation round two?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Or I can try?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Or any other ideas?

GM: The old Talwin thinks through and finds who is best, the Talwin with the bonded evil sword KILLS everything and then solves questions afterwards,

GM: How do you think you should solve this one?

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): I'm not evil!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Kind of with Lemon on this one

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Master TMO (Craigh): toss the sword in to get it for us

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

Master TMO (Craigh): I can tie my lasso onto the hilt to pull it back out after

LorieD (Licornah): (anyone have a summon tablet spell?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Honestly, I was just attacked. I'm prerty sure the Old Talwin would be pretty pissed at this point too

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Won't you catch the lasso on fire?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Is that Bob hinting the sword is Actually evil? Cause if yes, man that sucks....

LorieD (Licornah): (Do we have a magical lasso?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): So...are algibnment changes a thing that can happen?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have command, but it says the animals only obey simple commands... not sure I could talk it into bringing us something, but I guess I could try.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Fetch

mharmon1 (Talwin): and point to the tablet?

mharmon1 (Talwin): But if I remember that spell correctly, it only lasts one round, but "Fetch" is a relatively sinple command

Master TMO (Craigh): actually, yes, Lorie. But it's never been Identified (HOWARD), so Craigh doesn't know the commands to use it.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talking to it first couldn't hurt thoguh

Talwin: Licornah

Talwin: Murmers

Talwin: I'm having a bloodlust moment

LorieD (Licornah): (We have access to Endure Heat)

GM: The group viciously slashing through two fire salmanders, leaving them dead on the edge of the pond... Holds up finger, Wait a moment to the other one, we need to talk about what we want to do

LorieD (Licornah): (I think we cast that on someone to go get the tablet)

Master TMO (Craigh): they did attack us first remember

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob I am trying here

mharmon1 (Talwin): Doing the best I can

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We could tell it to bring the tablet to us, and we will let it live

Master TMO (Craigh): and we did try talking first

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): we did that out of sight at the lounging 3rd salamander

GM: grins with Michael

Master TMO (Craigh): it's their own dang fault! :P I'm sure they'll buy that

GM: This is true to TMO and Lisa

LorieD (Licornah): (We are in their territory and we're foreigners)

GM: Licornah tried to talk, then hid you from the one in the pool as you killed the other two

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well yeah, but we just wanted their stuff

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): if endure heat will work we can dive for it ourselves

mharmon1 (Talwin): ;)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yes, but we will still have a salamander in the pond

mharmon1 (Talwin): With no ability to provide backup

Endure Cold/Endure Heat

MadamePsychosis: Endure Cold/Endure Heat

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): eek can't open those spell links

MadamePsychosis: Endure Cold/Endure Heat

mharmon1 (Talwin): I can't either. Googling them :(

GM: It opened for me

LorieD (Licornah): (posted in Discord)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Uh, pretty sure taht pool is more then 130 degrees fareinhigt....

GM: This is your second puzzle for Talwin to solve

GM: With the help he can assemble

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh shit. With the amount of Dayquil I've ingested today. A christmas miracle is more likely

Master TMO (Craigh): have Craigh use his leatherworking skill to make you a Salamander skin coat and gloves so you can reach in. ;)

GM: So only 355 more days is what i hear you saying

mharmon1 (Talwin): Exactly

Licornah: (Oh, whoops, I also have Resist Fire / Cold) so we could layer)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Could you post that one? I can look up real quick

GM: and who has swimming?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talwin

LorieD (Licornah): (In Discord again)

GM: Really? wow I am amazed

LorieD (Licornah): (I cannot swim... I'm not a watery priest)

mharmon1 (Talwin): How deep is the pool?

LorieD (Licornah): (We probably can't tell)

GM: How would you know ?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Damn good guess?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Someone throw a rock?

GM: Gee Talwin can swim, has priests who can cast resist on him, has others who have magical weapons and can protect him..... Hmmmm

GM: Almost like this is a Talwin adventure

mharmon1 (Talwin): Rolls eyes so hard my head popped

mharmon1 (Talwin): I KNOW THAT BOB

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

Master TMO (Craigh): can we bum-rush Talwin into the pool? ;)

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm trying to ask people if we want me to just hop in with ap issed of lizard, or kill or talk to the damn thing first!

GM: Gently pushes Michael

Talwin: Sighs

mharmon1 (Talwin): Look

Talwin: Talking to the damn thing first will make literally no difference

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Pretty sure you can take it, as long as Reven doesn't melt

Talwin: Licornah, would you mind having a chat with this Salemander before I ask you all to help me deal wit this acid bath I'll be ;sharing with it?

Talwin: If you don't know worries of course

Licornah: I can try :: turns and looks at the Salamander

Licornah [Elvish]: [Translation] We're just trying to get an item and be on our way, can we please try and do this without further injury?

We're just trying to get an item and be on our way, can we please try and do this without further injury?

[understood by: Licornah, Daphene]

GM [Orc]: [Translation] Why are you here? Just burn and all will go away

Why are you here? Just burn and all will go away

[understood by: ]

Licornah [Elvish]: [Translation] :: turns to Talwin :: Sorry, it doesn't seem to speak a language I understand. Does anyone else want to try?

:: turns to Talwin :: Sorry, it doesn't seem to speak a language I understand. Does anyone else want to try?

[understood by: Licornah, Daphene]

GM [Firenewt]: [Translation] You need to just leave

You need to just leave

[understood by: ]

Licornah: :: turns to Talwin :: Sorry, it doesn't seem to understand me - no language I understand. Does anyone else want to try?

Talwin: Wait really?

Talwin: Surprised

Indigo: That's weird. You need magic weapons. Animal talk doesn't work...

Talwin: No worries

Indigo: Maybe because it's an evil fire monster?

Licornah: I don't think these are technically animals... I think they are sentient

Talwin: Ah

Talwin: My bad then Licornah

Licornah: They are as big as we are and not in a bear way

Indigo: Or that

GM: Quote from Lorie

Talwin: Can we cast any magic that would make it want to leave the safety of this nice acid bath?

Licornah: If they were the cute ones like in Silvermoon, we could have a chat... but these are something else

Licornah: Welllll... we could call lightning but that might char a few of us plus it

mharmon1 (Talwin): Would it damage the tablet?

Talwin: Would it damage the tablet?

Talwin: Asks interested

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): the salamanders and newts are different beings though right?

Talwin: Asks interested

Licornah: I'm not a mage... I think they might be more useful than me here.

GM: Yes to Lisa

Talwin: Howard! What do you think? Any ideas that migh make it want to leave it

LorieD (Licornah): (they are cousins... second cousins probably :) )

Talwin: s fortreess?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

Licornah: What if we just advance to where we want to go and guard our back to move things along?

Talwin: Shrugs

Howard Plum: I could make it itchy or cover it in blinding glitter but I'm not sure that will make it go away

Talwin: I've honestly got nothing better. Why don't we look to see if we can circle the pond and see if we can see the tablet first?

Talwin: At the very least, it might narrow the search

Craigh: Sure thing.

Talwin: Could we cast a few protections on me? I don't want it to drag anyone else in. I don't intend on approaching it purposefully, but I'll be looking for the tablet.

Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20-1 = 3]

LorieD (Licornah): (Well, I think we need to heal you before we send you into a pit of lava)

Craigh: is it lava, or boiling water?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Order of Ops: Talwin accepts protectionm Talwin circles the pond looking to narrow the search, (and yes Lorie thank you :)) Then Talwin if he cannot find it at all, tries to enter the pond because honest to god I'm out of ideas and kind of want to go to bed :)

Master TMO (Craigh): I held the ALT KEY!!

LorieD (Licornah): (I've been saying lava all evening, because I wasn't sure. It's probably water since its a swamp, but since everything is burning, there might be some lava too :) )

mharmon1 (Talwin): Didn't we clarify it is water

GM: Craigh can spot a stone piece out there in the middle of the boiling water,

mharmon1 (Talwin): Great. Can we scope that?

GM: There on that rock in the middle

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): so it is actually boiling :(

mharmon1 (Talwin): Lets Get Talwin healed, protected, and heading on in

GM: The one Salamander there in between you and it

Craigh: Anybody got any tea leaves?

GM: super heated water

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): oh wait - it's on the stone that is sticking out of the water?

GM: scalding hot

GM: Yes to Lisa

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): well then

GM: Now that Craigh points it out to the group

mharmon1 (Talwin): Whelp, Bob, I have no idea what to do about that Salamander. So, I'm going to accept protection, and then let it drag me down to the depths, because I got nothing

Licornah: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 2]

Heal [2] -> [to Talwin] [STATUS: Light]

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): just dimension door to the rock grab it and dimension door back

Licornah: [HEAL] Cure Serious Wounds [2d8+1 = 8]

Heal [8] -> [to Daphene] [NOT WOUNDED]

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): can a human land on the rock?

LorieD (Licornah): (that was supposed to go to Talwin... )

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sounds like a plan. I am ready when you are

GM: I can change that Lorie

Daphene's health adjusted by -8

Talwin's health adjusted by +8

GM: and maybe to Lisa

LorieD (Licornah): (Daphene looks like she still has -8)

GM: I took the 8 away from Daphene and gave it to Talwin

GM: Talwin got 2 then 8

Licornah: (she wasn't down 8 points though... )

Licornah: (she was at full health... now it looks like she took 8 points damage)

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): I'm measuring 12 ft from one end of the rock to the other

GM: She was wounded before you healed her

Licornah: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 5]

Heal [5] -> [to Talwin]

Licornah: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 6]

Heal [6] -> [to Daphene] [STATUS: Light]

GM: Yes to Lisa

LorieD (Licornah): (Can I split an Orison between them so they are full before I cast the Resist?)

GM: Yes to Lorie

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): wait - we might not need to cast that

Licornah: Licornah cast a spell NOT memorized.

Licornah: [CAST] Resist Fire/Resist Cold [at Talwin]

Daphene's health adjusted by +2

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): if the tablet is on the rock and not in the water then no one needs to get burned

Talwin's health adjusted by +2

LorieD (Licornah): Okay...I'll hold that)

Indigo's health adjusted by +5

mharmon1 (Talwin): If that spell is clear, I like Dimension Door from when I had Neith

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

GM: Used up the Orison on Daphene, then Talwin, then the remaining to Indigo

LorieD (Licornah): (Yes, thank you...)

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): thanks!

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): still probably need to figure out what to do with the salamander - is he going to just sit there while we do this?

GM: He is in between you and the pond right now

LorieD (Licornah): (Maybe you could tie him up... or someone else could chat him up?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Honestly, if this goes as I'm hoping. I was still going to accept protection for just in case, have you cast Dimension Door, and without delay walk through pick it up and bug out

mharmon1 (Talwin): How quick is Dimension Door versus the Salamander making it to me picking it up

Howard Plum: you can't cast dimension door on someone

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): Howard would have to do it

mharmon1 (Talwin): No, on the rock. Talwin will get protection, the spell cast, and will hurry to get the tablet

GM: brb as you plot this out

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): dimension door is like a teleport - he can't cast it on someone else

mharmon1 (Talwin): Knowing bob, Talwin will slip on the rock, or the Salamander will teleport to Talwin

mharmon1 (Talwin): No I know that or maybe I'm not understanding?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): so no one will land on the rock except howard

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): we on the same page?

mharmon1 (Talwin): OH!, Talwin can't walk through it?

mharmon1 (Talwin): My bad

mharmon1 (Talwin): I"m sorry

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): no it's a teleport except it has a short range

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah, I thought others could use it. Shoot. Well, I would definteily want to keep it distracted if Howard is doing that. I don't want Howard to Die because I wasn't jumping into to deal with the Salamander

mharmon1 (Talwin): Frankly, I'm about ready to just say cast protection, and I'm going for a swim. I honestly got nothi8ng at this point because Id on't know spells

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): what I'm worried about is having to possibly make a DEX check and wishing he had gloves anyway or thinking of some way to protect his hands as he grabs the tablet but maybe he can use his shirt

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not mad at anyone, just don't know what to do

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talwin has gloves in his pack

mharmon1 (Talwin): But I would still want protection from heat and fire

mharmon1 (Talwin): at the very least

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): we can kill the salamander and then get the tablet

mharmon1 (Talwin): I fully agree with that too

mharmon1 (Talwin): I just have no idea how to accomplish that

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): it's midnight - maybe we ponder and get this next session?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean, maybe? I'm really wracking my brain, but I'm not sure how to get the little fudger out of his acid bath

GM: back

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): killing the salamander seems relatively simple - like the others?

GM: Not playing next week,

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yeah, if we could get it out

GM: Will play in two weeks

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): yes I said session

mharmon1 (Talwin): If it's only waist high water, I'd be free to hop in

GM: up to the group, the next session does involve this map

mharmon1 (Talwin): Look, how tall is the Salamanders bob?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): looks like it's sitting off to the side to me

GM: So up to you end with getting the map or start with getting the map

LorieD (Licornah): (We could cast tree steed, you ride it in grab the tablet and get out?)

GM: Salamanders are man sized

mharmon1 (Talwin): Is it standing, sitting, or lounging?

GM: Guarding

mharmon1 (Talwin): Is it's waist above the waterline

GM: Out of the water, on the shore

mharmon1 (Talwin): Where is the water on it's body up to

Talwin: What the fuck!

Tree Steed

mharmon1 (Talwin): For fucks sake bob? It's out of the water!?

GM: All three of them have been

mharmon1 (Talwin): I may need to log out before I have a goddamn anurism

GM: Yes to Lisa's image capture

MadamePsychosis: just posted a pic of what I see

mharmon1 (Talwin): JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

mharmon1 (Talwin): Attack the fucker and then let's figure out the damn tablet. Holy shit I'm so angry right now I'm seeing red

mharmon1 (Talwin): I've said over and over we need a way to get this fucker out of this acid bath and no one said "Hey Michael, I think you might be having a stroke?"

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was looking at the wrong pond THE WHOLE TIME

mharmon1 (Talwin): I have never been so embarrased

mharmon1 (Talwin): holdy shit

MadamePsychosis: no worries!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I thought it was underwater too because I didn't see it on the map

MadamePsychosis: I thought you meant the tablet

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Because I was looking at an entirely different pond

mharmon1 (Talwin): Where is this fucker I'm just waltzing up to him. Jesus

Master TMO (Craigh): I was too, for what it's worth

Master TMO (Craigh): I had no salamander on my screen

LorieD (Licornah): (He's at 4 o'clock from the tablet Michael)

MadamePsychosis: it's camo salamander

Master TMO (Craigh): past the blue water, on the black shores next to the red puddle

LorieD (Licornah): (He sort of blends in... unassuming like to kills us)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah way to the west of where we are standing

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

GM: grins with Lorie

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Across this pond and next to the lava pit

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh.My.Fucking.God.

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm sorry for language, but I'm literally chugging asprine at the moment

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I just found it after Lisa posted the picture

mharmon1 (Talwin): Navigate around this buringin stuff please

Talwin: Hey Asshole, I need something. CAN YOU GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Or protect me and I'll swim

MadamePsychosis: don't worry about it

MadamePsychosis: please

mharmon1 (Talwin): Without worrying about a non existent salamander dragging me to the bottom of an acid pool, i"m not that worried

mharmon1 (Talwin): Groans

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, don't be. At least two of us were in the same boat as you.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ship.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Whatever.

GM: LOL

Talwin: Yeah.

MadamePsychosis: lol

Master TMO (Craigh): floaty thing

'seyfert' connected

mharmon1 (Talwin): Right. Can we just pretend Talwin got a successful cast for protect heat and fire and quickly ancied in his pantsied a fancy swim to pick up the damn thing?

MadamePsychosis: want to do this now or next time?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Actually, you are right. I think I'm a bit in a funk lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): net time might be me more calm

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

GM: You have Carissa now too

GM: so you have Rae and Licornah and Bixi as priests to help

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): it's just a matter of a couple spells and maybe a roll or two

GM: and Howard and Craigh as wizards

Master TMO (Craigh): Bob being generous again. :)

GM: to plot out getting over to that rock and get the map and get back

Talwin: Right. I'm being absolutely serious. I'm not worried about the Swijmto the Tablet. The literally only thing that was holding me up was the need to deal with

mharmon1 (Talwin): a salamander in the pool

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

seyfert: (hi again)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey Carissa! :)

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): coming from a mage perspective, Howard would just jump over and jump back

mharmon1 (Talwin): Do me a favor and don't read chat summary tonight okay? I may have ahem, lost my absolute shit for a s few minutes

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You missed an exciting week, Carissa.

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): Hi Carissa :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Then that is abosutley perfect lisa haha. Howard can do that

mharmon1 (Talwin): I have gloves

seyfert: found the map - is Talwin all by his lonesome?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Don't look at the map. In fact, pretend this map is lost to history.

seyfert: (wow that lagged long)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well, you see

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): After we figured out that we were all standing at the wrong pond, Talwin just rushed in to murder the last guy who apparently was just lounging on the shore.

seyfert: LOL if you don't want me to read chat then TMO definitely has to do summary again

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob, can we pretend you glictched and this episode Twilight Zoned itself?

Howard Plum: studies the rock and the tablet looking for the safest, i.e. flattets place to land on the rock

GM: HAH

Master TMO (Craigh): I don't think we said anything objectional this week

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): flattest

Howard Plum: Talwin, I think your gloves will be helpful if you would lend them

seyfert: right but I don't get home until Tuesday but feel free to ask Lemon to doit for you as I ask tyou to do it for me

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hands gloves to Howard. "It might be hot. Can we cast protection from heat on you at the very least? Preferrably Fire too?"

Talwin: Hands gloves to Howard. "It might be hot. Can we cast protection from heat on you at the very least? Preferrably Fire too?"

Master TMO (Craigh): lol, I'll see if I can get it done

Howard Plum: Thank you.

seyfert: thanks!!

Talwin: And for the record, I really appreciate this Howard

Howard Plum: puts them on

GM: I want to experient with ChatGBT to see what is does for a summary

Howard Plum: You are welcome. I hope it all goes smoothly

seyfert: (anyone doing the heat protection spell this session?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yes

mharmon1 (Talwin): On Howard

mharmon1 (Talwin): Before he dimension doors to the Tablet

mharmon1 (Talwin): It's right there, poking above the boiling water

seyfert (Raelynn): ok making sure - think Rae has it if not

LorieD (Licornah): (I was holding Resist Fire, but can cast as necessary)

mharmon1 (Talwin): I just don't want Howard to slip and lose a limb or more

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): he's going to try to not get his feet wet but it's still likely pretty hot there

seyfert (Raelynn): neither would rae

mharmon1 (Talwin): Alright sounds like we got a plan?

seyfert (Raelynn): endure heat was being used or resist fire?

seyfert (Raelynn): no way I can compare spells on my laptop

mharmon1 (Talwin): I think Endure Heat would be the bare minimum

LorieD (Licornah): (Resist is stronger than Endure - Endure is only up to 130; Resist is much higher)

Raelynn: will do

Raelynn: [CAST] Endure Cold/Endure Heat [at Howard Plum]

Effect ['Endure Heat'] -> [to Howard Plum]

Effect ['Endure Cold'] -> [to Howard Plum]

Howard Plum: Thank you Miss Raelynn

Raelynn: Be careful, Howard!

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): test

seyfert (Raelynn): this is lagging for me

GM: Yes to lag, there are icons moving across the screen and the chat is slow

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): there we go

seyfert (Raelynn): this is lagging for me

mharmon1 (Talwin): I see you

seyfert (Raelynn): maybe better now?

Howard Plum: concentrates on the top flat part of the rock to land on and then casts

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It lagged when I did bless, too

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Something with the effects, maybe

Howard Plum: [CAST] Dimension Door [at Howard Plum]

GM: perhaps Lemon

seyfert (Raelynn): think so, it was right as I dragged the cold effect over

GM: Dex for Howard

Howard Plum: [CHECK] Dexterity [EFFECTS +1] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20-1 = 7]

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): thank god

seyfert (Raelynn): all that dancing is helping his dex!

GM: grabs the map

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

GM: and Laughs with Carissa

Howard Plum: and concentrates on getting back to the spot he left

GM: HGow is he getting back?

Howard Plum: Howard Plum cast a spell NOT memorized.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well, looks like Howard is camping in the lava lake tonight

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): didn't remove the check mark from the sheet but he had 2 today

seyfert (Raelynn): at least he'll be toasty

mharmon1 (Talwin): He's riding Wooden Steed out if not

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): it's annoying you have to do that all the time

GM: and very good Howard makes it back to the safe edge of the pool

seyfert (Raelynn): i bet

mharmon1 (Talwin): Where Talwin hugs the everloving Shit out of him

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): sorry - under memorized it looks like he has two

Talwin: Where Talwin hugs the everloving Shit out of him

Talwin: I need a drink HOward. THank you

Raelynn: You've gotten so light on your toes, Howard! See? Dancing has been great for you!

Talwin: I'm having a moment

Licornah: Wait, I want to heal Indigo before we log

Licornah: since it will be two weeks and we won't remember :)

Talwin: I think you need a rest eh?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): Indigo is okay if you want to save spells

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): he's only down by 7

GM: Just remember this is the beginning of the day and you are heading off to follow this map

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lisa will remember, lol. Her memory is like... something... very good

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's late y'all

LorieD (Licornah): (Okay, fair enough... just hate seeing damage :) )
