Master TMO: looks like I'm in. Do I get XP for being first? If I *am* first, of course

GM: Grins

GM: you are in first but have to wait for no one else to log in then you start the adventure, then you get the bonus XP

Master TMO: I say we go home!

Master TMO: done!

Master TMO: gimme! gimme! gimme!

Master TMO: and I finished the campaign arc too! more bonus xp!

GM: HAH

GM: How is the new house?

Master TMO: this is the inlaw's rental

Master TMO: IF we're able to sell our old house and buy the new one, it'll be ready in April

GM: Ahh

Master TMO: I got home to old house on new year's to a flooded basement and crawl space. been dealing with that and work for the last 2 weeks

GM: crap sorry

Master TMO: yep, me too

Master TMO: I did start to try to make the Update for last session, I just couldn't make myself finish it. :)

'LorieD' connected

GM: chuckles

GM: you have Zero minutes to accomplish that before anyone else is in

GM: Hello Lorie

Master TMO: not even going to try Bob. :P

LorieD: Hey there Gents

LorieD: I can go AFK if that helps with whatever you want ed to do

Master TMO: about the only thing I had energy for was barely finishing a fairly simple Minecraft room decoration and playing around a little bit with ChatGPT

GM: LOL

Master TMO: Hi Lorie! We're just waiting on everyone else

GM: I did do one quick test at doing a summary with ChatGPT but it did not work

[5000 XP] -> Lanek

[5000 XP] -> Talwin

[5000 XP] -> Zayden

Master TMO: I forget you can't see prior chats - I was supposed to do the update for last session, but for a variety of IRL reasons I didn't have the energy

[5000 XP] -> Craigh

[7500 XP] -> Bixi Fizzlebang

[7500 XP] -> Licornah

Master TMO: how did you feed it the info? Just copied the whole chat log in and paste?

GM: YEap and it failed for too much

Master TMO: yeah. I tried to start a chat for my campaign world, which was interesting results, but when I went back the next day it had forgotten HUGE chunks of the info

'seyfert' connected

Master TMO: makes sense they wouldn't want to burden their servers with billions of chats

Master TMO: what is the XP for Bob?

GM: Hello Carissa

seyfert: Hello!

'springdew' connected

GM: and the XP awarded was for the End of Year awards

Craigh: so now we have Lor-Lor and Car-Car

GM: That is all distributed now

GM: and Hello Spring

User has gone AFK. (Master TMO)

Master TMO: .... Spr-Spr?

LorieD: Evening Carissa and Spring!

GM: There is still a BUNCH of XP to award for all the encounters etc for this story arc

GM: I am waiting on that until you get back to Drakeshead

Springity Thingity: hi hi hi!

seyfert: figured it was but still nice!

Springity Thingity: i am thrilled to discover the History section of the login page!

seyfert: ....is TMO broken?

Springity Thingity: no more digging around for the right server

GM: smiles

Master TMO: I think that's a valid assessment

GM: HAH

GM: Are you almost kittenless now Spring?

Springity Thingity: entirely kittenless

Springity Thingity: this is the clean and disinfect phase

GM: grins

Springity Thingity: and also the take a damn break phase

GM: Laughs

Springity Thingity: Carissa, my uncle was just talking to me this morning about chickens and avian flu

Springity Thingity: he put up some net to keep the starlings away from his flock

Springity Thingity: i told him i wish i hadn't missed the registration deadline for your workshop

GM: Also Carissa they extended the Exo-Biologist posting at NASA this week, you still have time to apply

Springity Thingity: ooooooooo

seyfert: lol still doubt I'd qualify

GM: Go for it!

seyfert: if he still has questions, Spring, very happyto answer them!

seyfert: and should have told me you missed registration; think I could have sent you link anways

GM: I am on a kick at work about men apply if they feel they have 60% of the qualifications, women apply if they feel they are at 100% - SO we need to make it easier/more likely for women to apply

seyfert: (got food and drink I'm good to go now)

Springity Thingity: aw heck

Springity Thingity: right you are BOB

seyfert: lol I mean true, fine fine I'll look at the listing again later and see

Springity Thingity: i tell women that all the time. and also that familiarity is not the same as expertise, so you can claim way more familiarity than women often do

GM: I am going to be hiring a Creator in Residence for the Creation Station Music space at the Collier City Library, I want to make sure we get a good selection

Master TMO: I want a job managing Dragonslayers for $120k a year.

seyfert: I'll be your reference!

GM: I would be glad to pay you $150K a year if you can actually manage to pull that off TMO

GM: Grins

seyfert: Wait no I won't. I didn't blackmail you well enough to do summary, TMO.

GM: See!

Master TMO: I haven't told you my last 2 weeks Carissa. I started, couldn't force myself to finish

GM: He cannot even manage to pull that off for himself

GM: and yes we do fully understand and appreciate it TMO

seyfert: I need better blackmail material

seyfert: (and blackmail material I remember...)

Springity Thingity: :-D

GM: [d20 = 1]

Springity Thingity: [d20 = 17]

GM: Yeap Carissa did not remember

Master TMO: you needed to have been here managing the plumber, the carpet tech folks, the insurance company, my job, and my family.

Springity Thingity: hahahahaha

GM: by the way one of the updates is you can change the size of your dice now

GM: If you want them a bit larger or smaller

GM: Only effects your screen realestate

GM: [10d12 = 75]

seyfert: I *was* there the last week of December. You just didn't ask

GM: [20d4 = 52]

seyfert: Well technically Dallas but close enough

Master TMO: oh no, that was all since Jan 1

GM: [d6 = 3]

seyfert: Clearly your fault for not scheduling it earlier then, duh ;)

Master TMO: I got home the evening of Jan 1 to a flooded basement and crawl space

'mharmon1' connected

seyfert: ....you have a basement?

GM: Also by the way starting on Sunday I am playing in a bi-weekly Traveller game

Master TMO: storm cellar

seyfert: Ah that makes more sense

GM: and Hello Michael!

Master TMO: nice!

seyfert: I do not know what a traveller game is but have fun!.../

Master TMO: Space RPG

Master TMO: old game system, although may have newer version.

Talwin: I am sorry, but I am here now

Talwin: Let's do this

Master TMO: Character creation is "pick a career, roll randomly to see what happens to you, repeat for years at a time, until you die, or end and become a PC"

GM: Very old system, I first played in 1981, but only playing 2nd edition there too

GM: and yes to TMO, it is one of the few game systems were you can die during chacter creation

seyfert: Hi MIchael!

GM: So I will leave it up to the group to recap where you are, what you did last session, and how you want to proceed

GM: I pinged our missing three

seyfert: Fascinating

seyfert: No clue here since I wasn't barely playing last two sessions so I'm just here.

mharmon1 (Talwin): And I have semi-issues with something something influenza. But I'm functional now, and mentally sound....kind of

GM: Avian Flu Michael

mharmon1 (Talwin): Basically, we left off with me frustrated about not knowing where combat characters were. But we have

mharmon1 (Talwin): not that

GM: and we know someone who can help with it

mharmon1 (Talwin): I woul dhave remembered that

Talwin: but we just got the magic gem

seyfert: ....so my go-to with positive Avian Influenza cases is euthanasia soooooo

Springity Thingity: :-( hope you feel better soon

mharmon1 (Talwin): Perfect recap :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): euthanasia!

GM: You just got the MAP to find out where the FIRE GEMS are

mharmon1 (Talwin): that escalated quickly!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yes sorry Bob

seyfert: lol

GM: and LOL with Carissa

mharmon1 (Talwin): We got the thingy that will supposedly lead us to the thingy

mharmon1 (Talwin): If we are lucky

seyfert: Who can read a map? Is it readable? How we gonna not die in the fire?

mharmon1 (Talwin): "And there was much rejoicing" - Monty Python

GM: Carisssa bring up good points

mharmon1 (Talwin): Frankly, we haven't even looked at it yet. So we'll need to do that

seyfert: I'm mos5ly repeating your points

GM: it is effectively a stone tablet

mharmon1 (Talwin): Can we do that while waiting on the others bob? Just look at it?

'MadamePsychosis' connected

GM: There is Lisa

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh sorry! Hi lisa! :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm so sorry!

GM: and yes to Michael

GM: She logged in as you asked taht

seyfert: Hi Lisa!

seyfert: (nice summoing skills!)

Lanek: hi Lisa

LorieD: Okay I'm back - BOB I'm so excited for you to play Traveller, that's one of your favorites

springdew (Lanek): hi Lisa

Master TMO: Mic-Mic and Lis-Lis?

springdew (Lanek): hahaha

Talwin: No

LorieD: Michael -do you have Type A or Type B flu?

Master TMO: well, it started with Lor-Lor and Car-Car, but the rest of you have terrible names for it

mharmon1 (Talwin): My friends call me Mike, Michael, and hey you. My enemies call me mister Harmon, and my nemesis calls me Mic-Mic. Don't be my nemesis TMO :)

LorieD: do you prefer Michael or Hey you?

seyfert: We broke TMO again

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey you seems to happen a lot because my group of friends has 3 Michaels :)

springdew (Lanek): aw it looks like 120% is the biggest the dice can get. i wanted like 400

LorieD: Ahhh, I remember when we had two -- Mike and Michael is where we landed - then there is BOB, Rob, and Robert

mharmon1 (Talwin): Only for those who are family or sleeping with him as I recal

GM: grins

Master TMO: one of the reasons I really like TMO. No duplications

LorieD: Oh those are different people

LorieD: His family calls him something else entirely :: laughs ::

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah!

GM: grins

springdew (Lanek): hahahahaha

Master TMO: if I start calling him Bobby, y'all will know what happened.

GM: HAH!

LorieD: I'll offer an alibi

LorieD: You were with me 2-4 ET :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Snaps Finger! That's right TMO thats what it was!

mharmon1 (Talwin): So, in the spirit of bob not thinking I didn't care, I had a list of things I had hoped to accomplish this session.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Going to lay them out. They really boil down to three different things that we can get done in one session

Image: Firenewt Hatching temple

mharmon1 (Talwin): 1. Use the map and figure out how to get there

mharmon1 (Talwin): 2. When we arrive, assess the situation and either get a gem, or die

MadamePsychosis: Hello all :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): 3. Assuming we get the gem, attempt to escape hopefully not dead and get back

LorieD: (Evening!)

seyfert: Hi Lisa! (in case you didn't see the first)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Everything (HI LISA!)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Everything else is a facet of those top level headers

mharmon1 (Talwin): Any comments?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Bob is happy I put some thought in I'm sure. lol)

GM: I think Carissa's addemdums from earlier round it out well

Lanek: hi Lorie!

GM: It is a very nice summary Michael

springdew (Lanek): dammit

MadamePsychosis: Indigo did not get 9K xp in the past year to level?

MadamePsychosis: only Branywn?

LorieD: (Hey Spring! Glad to hear you're fancy free and kitty free too)

MadamePsychosis: thank you for checking her though

GM: I did not award any XP to anyone other than Branwyn and N'alea

mharmon1 (Talwin): Right. Also reading the map is hopefully simple. To be fair, I didn't even think about IF we could read it. I feel kinda dumb now LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): But we'll burn that bridge when we cross it

MadamePsychosis: it's not about awarding any - it's about Indigo only needing about 9K to level in November 2021 and he hasn't leveled

seyfert: ....but we might need to recross it so don't burn it

MadamePsychosis: but I can argue with you about that out of session

GM: grisn with Lisa

seyfert: (only end of year XP, not other XP yet apparently)

mharmon1 (Talwin): grins with Carissa

seyfert: (cause also hoping for a Rae level-up, lol)

MadamePsychosis: I can go through the chat logs and make a case for your negligence in regard to Indigo

GM: Everyone who survives and is back at Drakeshead

GM: will get their XP

GM: and LOL with Lisa

seyfert: lol

LorieD: (Well that's omnious ... )

mharmon1 (Talwin): Knowing Lisa, that's a serious threat bob. You should give that XP!

GM: a giant carp swims by and swallows Indigo

GM: That solves that math problem

MadamePsychosis: what else is new?

Master TMO: AGAIN???

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL to both

seyfert: it's okay, Zayden's oiled rods will help us get him backl

LorieD: (BOB doesn't give XP... it's like Whose line is it anyway...)

GM: LOL

springdew: hahahahaha

User has gone AFK. (MadamePsychosis)

GM: actually prior to story arc award there is about 2,000 XP per share in the backlog right now

User is back. (MadamePsychosis)

GM: not including roleplay XP

GM: BUT

GM: focusing on Talwin and the map

mharmon1 (Talwin): We all good?

GM: Indigo jumped into/onto the rocks

MadamePsychosis: do we have a map?

LorieD: (can we rob a gold dragon in hell, a priest is saving for an imaginary temple ;O) )

GM: to retrieve the map

Raelynn: (Howard?)

MadamePsychosis: Howard

seyfert (Raelynn): (man even the DM is forgetting him)

MadamePsychosis: LOL

GM: LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

GM: Yes sorry

MadamePsychosis: yes Howard handed Talwin the map at at the end of last session

GM: and did anyone look at that firenewt hatching temple map?

MadamePsychosis: what map are we on?

GM: No map right now

MadamePsychosis: no

mharmon1 (Talwin): I did not.

LorieD (Licornah): The black map, yup, looking at it now

GM: I shared it

LorieD (Licornah): It's great...

GM: ahh ok sorry totally black is not the right thing

LorieD (Licornah): :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Wow. A marvelous map!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh sorry. Joke alreadhy happened :)

springdew: hehehe yes i have the map of a raven in a coal mine

MadamePsychosis: lol

seyfert (Raelynn): I just have the background map...

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah, I can see parts now.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Had to zoom out

Licornah: For what it's worth... Entry into the Swamps also is fairly dark

mharmon1 (Talwin): Also bob keeps moving characters around, so shades of grey as parts light up and geyt dark again

LorieD (Licornah): I see a tiny speck of something in the middle of the Temple now

GM: I put Youtargim on the map

MadamePsychosis: you changed his icon

GM: I did a top down one for him for maps

MadamePsychosis: trying to make him more attractive?

mharmon1 (Talwin): stop making me laugh so hard. It hurts

GM: grins

Raelynn: lol

springdew: hahahaha

mharmon1 (Talwin): ...would it be an improper guess to say this temple looking image is what we roughly see sketched on a certain stone tablet....?

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

GM: That is exactly what I am trying to show everyone

GM: I hid all the tokens on the map except Youtargim and now it is all dark for some reason

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah

mharmon1 (Talwin): Unfortunately I can't help with that, but I'd imagen we need to roll for encounters on the way to this Temple?

LorieD (Licornah): (I don't see Yout at all... I've scrolled in and out, but carry on, it's a me problem)

mharmon1 (Talwin): maybe we could start with those?

springdew: i can now see some green areas

mharmon1 (Talwin): It's all of Yout's sightlines that we can see

GM: In summary, you have a map that shows a path through the jungles, it arrives at a small hill, at that hill is a path where you will arrive.

springdew: i had to close and reopen

Talwin: Alright, who wants to climb a tree and look for a hill?

Talwin: Any takers?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (IC)

Talwin: Clearly joking, but semi-serious

Lanek: what the hell

Talwin: Where's illero when we need his climbing skills?

Talwin: Chuckles

GM: The map is not precise, it shows, a pyramid temple, a spiral, a set of dots for huts (?) and a set of dots for fires/nesting (?)

Lanek: i aint climbed nothin in a while

Talwin: Hesitates

Indigo: We;ll catch you if you fall

Talwin: You sure Lanek? I'm not questioning your judgement or anything, but

Lanek: caint be that much differnt than a wall right?

Talwin: Nods at Indigo

Talwin: We can do that

GM: You know you want to get to the fire areas

'LemonyLemon' connected

GM: Your map does have notation for how to get there from here

Licornah: (isn't there a helpful bird we could ask... :: in her best Snow White voice)

springdew (Lanek): i mean is Climb Trees even a skill?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah. Then this was a dumb conversation. Sigh. Sorry guys

Talwin: Oh wait!

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol you're fine)

GM: It is at least 2 to 6 hours away, with your best guesses at scale

Talwin: Lanek!, I think if this map is correct

GM: Not at all Michael

Talwin: We can navigate along this route here

Talwin: No need to climb

GM: Welcome Lemon

Talwin: Smiles Warmly

Raelynn: (hi Lemon)

Talwin: Although thank you for your offer

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Hi Lemon!)

Raelynn: Oh darn, and I was looking forward to it.

springdew (Lanek): hi Lemon

Lanek: oh, well, okay

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hello!

Talwin: Don't worry Lanek

Talwin: Winks

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No idea why we're talking about climbing trees, but I have a spell for that if we need it

Talwin: If there is a wall around this temple, you can climb it

Talwin: Smiles

LorieD (Licornah): (Evening Lemon)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Of course you do Lemon. LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Magic sure is a heck of a thing

Talwin: So

Talwin: Nods to himself

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can make people be able to climb trees like squirrels

Talwin: We have a route, and a plan. This will take some hiking, so let's gear up and get ready

Talwin: Is everyone doing okay? Any injuries or prep work you could need?

Raelynn: Is it going to get hotter?

Talwin: Raelynn, I'm sure it will

LorieD (Licornah): (Everyone looks at full health)

Raelynn: sighs

Youtargim: If I might ask? Along those lines with Rae, these are Fire gems? as in burning?

Talwin: The Tablet Inscription says "Firenewt Hatching Temple"

Talwin: I have a feeling it will very warm

Looks at his hands

Talwin: Points to Yout

Talwin: I sure hope not

Talwin: We just don't have that kind of detail to go off of

Youtargim: Do we have any way of carrying them?

Raelynn: Bucket of ice?

Talwin: If we need to however, we can fashion a stone box with earthern spells

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Didn't someone (Lisa?) already bring this point up?

Youtargim: We can?

Talwin: And drag the box behind us if necessary

Raelynn: Mmm, we should probably figure that out before you decide to sneak in and steal them. You might not have time to figure it out.

Talwin: There are other options I've considered, but I'm not going to stress until I've seen one with my own eyes first

Talwin: Sighs

Talwin: Unfortunately, I cannot cast magic, so we should go over those details now

Talwin: There are three options

Talwin: At least, that I can think of

Raelynn: What if you balance them on Reven?

Talwin: Grunts

Craigh: I'm enjoying the fact that we left our own perfectly good swamps to go trekking around someone else's icky swamps.

Talwin: Well, since he knows that they can kill him, he will say no

seyfert (Raelynn): (no she is not secretly trying to destroy Reven ;) )

Bixi Fizzlebang: That's a heck of a balancing act

Youtargim: There are good swamps?

Raelynn: Oh.

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

springdew (Lanek): hahahaha

Raelynn: A warm, sticky icky swamp! I'm not dressed for this!

Bixi Fizzlebang: I do feel like you should maybe stress about it beforehand though... you might not have time to stress about it once you get in there

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: Yes, I was getting to that

Talwin: The first few options we have

Talwin: One, we can ustilize the stone box approach and likely carry it or drag it

Talwin: The second option is a little more complex, but should be easy enough with access to water

Talwin: We'll need to layer a sled, with Earth, Gravel, Metal Bowl, and then Water

Indigo: Bredin didn't say we wouldn't be able to touch them ...

Talwin: If it is constantly burining, we will refresh the water steaming out of the bowl

Talwin: Nods to Indigo

Talwin: But they do have a point

Indigo: Yes

Talwin: We can fasion the sled now, but I'd rather do it closer to the Temple. That way, we can use a water filled leather sack to keep it contained until we can secure it properly

Raelynn: Oh! What if you get gather some of the plants here that can clearly survive the heat and use it to make a basket? Or at least wrap them in the leaves?

Talwin: If it's so hot that it burns through that, we won't be able to transport without significantly more magic

Craigh: anybody know how to make a basket?

Talwin: Which I am not sure how

Indigo: I can make a skiff

Talwin: Nods at Indigo

Youtargim: Do we need to keep them warm? like bird's eggs?

Raelynn: It doesn't have to be a pretty basket. Just, like, a giant leaf.

Youtargim: and how warm?

Lanek: not really yer craftsy type

Talwin: That basket is a good idea, but the idea is for the Dirt, Gravel, to keep the skiff from burning

Youtargim: Are these eggs? or gems? I was unclear on that

Raelynn: Oh, but Talwin, HOW are you going to grab one first?

Talwin: Yout, if this gets that complex, I'm going to tell Alexandria that I'm only Mortal for hells sake

Daphene: I can whittle, but not weave

Talwin: Sighs

LorieD (Licornah): (I can weave...)

Talwin: I won't be grabbing one bare handed

Youtargim: Are you sure you are mortal? You have not died yet

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Why not both, Yout. Why not both.

Talwin: I'm going to use this pre-treated leather soaked in water to get it a distance away from the temple, before we secure it to final transport system. Like, an ark of the covenant or something

Craigh: I have a bit of the skin from that fire drake. That might work for temporary insulation while grabbing

Talwin: Well I aint a God Yout, that's for sure. Pretty sure I'd feel different if I was!

Youtargim: That is a nice idea Craigh!

Craigh: or, you know, channel the heat and make it worse.

Craigh: but I think, if anything, it'll insulate a bit

Talwin: Nods at Craigh. It can't hurt. I'll layer it in the leather pouch witht he water satchell

Talwin: It's only needing to hold until we get it to Indigo's small skiff sled

Talwin: At that point, it's easy enough to create the insulation to keep the skiff from burning

Talwin: But if we need to leave in a hurry, I wan't a quick solution to our final extraction point

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Also poor grammar because I get excited and type worse and worse)

Youtargim: Where is that?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Here

Talwin: Points to the map

Talwin: Holds up the Tablet to a larger surrounding map

Talwin: See this point here

Talwin: This is a second much smaller rise that peaks just above the tree line

Youtargim nods

Talwin: it's roughly a mile and a half as the crow flies

Talwin: If something is chasing us a mile and half, we have other things to worry about

Youtargim: Everyone else see that?

'springdew' disconnected

Craigh: Howard, I don't suppose you happen to have telekineses or Bigby's grasping hand prepped, do you?

Talwin: But this rise will give us a good position to both see, get our bearings, and prepare the final transport

mharmon1 (Talwin): Also bob, not sure if that's a mile and a half. My directions are wonky

mharmon1 (Talwin): Can we just pretend?

Howard Plum: I don't know those spells Craigh

GM: It is a good call Michael

Craigh: No, they're not common, but it was worth a shot.

Howard Plum: thinks, I barely know the spells I do know

mharmon1 (Talwin): Scowls at Howard

Talwin: Think better of yourself man

Talwin: You did some amazing feats just a few moments ago

Talwin: It was truly impressive

Howard Plum: Thank you Sir Talwin

Talwin: I know I was impressed

Talwin: Mumbles

'springdew' connected

Talwin: As his gaze turns back to studying the map

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: I think we have a route traced. As we approach the temple proper, we'll keep a closer eye

Bixi Fizzlebang: He's got the glitter, what else do you really need?

Talwin: I don't want us caught. But I also gaurantee there will be resistance

Talwin: I'm not sneaky, and I don't think the parents will be thrilled we are stealing eggs

Talwin: We need to be careful. As we get closer, we'll begin ensuring we have a more defined plan. But that requires seeing what we are up against first

Image: Firenewt Hatching temple

Talwin: Be on your gaurd everyone. Use your senses. I am good with my surroundings, but I'm not fool enough to say I don't miss things

GM: Everyone is on the map, that is the farthest/closest you can be to make decisions

Indigo: nods

Master TMO (Craigh): I assume we can't see the temple yet?

Talwin: Excelletn. Before anything else. Please roll OBS checks if you have it. Can I get a weather reading from someone

The time is 1:00 PM

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]

Craigh: What are you talking about? "Roll OBS"?

seyfert (Raelynn): (ouch)

Licornah: [SKILL] Observation (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 4]

Master TMO (Craigh): lol, j/k

mharmon1 (Talwin): oh okay. I was confused sorry TMO

Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 17]

Weather Report Location: Dryads Lair Principality Forest, Mid Spring Day 6, Midday Precipitation: Light Rain Wind: No Wind Temperature: Cold 48°F / 9°C

mharmon1 (Talwin): I thought maybe I said something dumb LOL

seyfert (Raelynn): (no not that one TMO)

Lanek: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 19]

Master TMO (Craigh): you forgot to hit ALT for OOC speech is all. Craigh would be very confused if Talwin started talking about that

seyfert (Raelynn): ...it's only 48F?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Light rain eh? Who has lighting!

springdew (Lanek): my internet is uppy downy and i have to restart gateway, brb

seyfert (Raelynn): Yes but in a swamp probably not a good idea ;)

mharmon1 (Talwin): OH!. Sorry TMO :) Thanks haha

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): at least Licornah is paying attention

mharmon1 (Talwin): Pff, Lighting is never a good idea.

mharmon1 (Talwin): But it has it's uses

mharmon1 (Talwin): For craps and grins, alertness everyone? I just want to cover our Asses

mharmon1 (Talwin): The Donkey kind

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Licornah made her check

GM: Licornah can point to your right to what looks like a sprial path leading down, there is a stream? waterfall? in the center

GM: and Welcome Sharif

Raelynn: stumbling along following the lead of those with better observation skills than hers

LorieD (Licornah): (Evening Sharif!)

Talwin: Pauses.

Craigh: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 6]

mharmon1 (Talwin): "Thank you Licornah"

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 15]

Talwin: Thinks

Licornah: :: points with her lance :: That way, good luck...

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 16]

seyfert (Raelynn): (Hi Sharif!)

Talwin: Turns to Licornh's Spear

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): these rolls are concerning

Talwin: That way?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hi Sharif!

LorieD (Licornah): (Follow the yellow brick path... the yellow brick path..)

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'll say Lisa

Shislif: Hi there :)

Daphene: [SKILL] Weather Sense [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 8) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 9]

mharmon1 (Talwin): Def. bad omens

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Hi Sharif and Lemon who I think I missed

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): are you kidding me.

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Failure by one on literally everything

Howard Plum: [SKILL] Whistling/Humming [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 3]

Master TMO (Craigh): Lem-Lem and Sha-Sha?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Smelting the dice down, forging new ones, and giving them a test roll! [10d4+10d6+10d8+10d10+10d12+10d20 = 346]

mharmon1 (Talwin): OH MY GOD

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

Shislif: whoa

LorieD (Licornah): (Sha-Lem could work?)

Master TMO (Craigh): Shi-Shi, actually. My bad.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I smelted those suckers down

mharmon1 (Talwin): OOC Lorie, did that Obs check tell you that's probably the way we need to go? Or just the water into the Pit

LorieD (Licornah): (Shi Shi... you're welcome?)

Talwin: Maybe i misse

mharmon1 (Talwin): Maybe i misse

LorieD (Licornah): (Go that way... if something gets in your way, turn)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (I got that reference :) )

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Talwin: Okay

GM: The observation revealed more of the map before you moved, you know that the temple is on the opposite side of the/a ridge from this spiral

LorieD (Licornah): (:o) I wondered if anyone would...)

Talwin: Ponders to himself

Craigh: So, go to the spiral or cross the bridge?

Talwin: This way is longer, but does not involve us crossing the river at any main points

Talwin: Thinking out loud

Talwin: We already have poor omens

Talwin: Let's go the long way around the spiral. Curve around the right hand side

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's fine, I have fresh dice, I'm sure we're good now!

Talwin: Navigates with his finger

Master TMO (Craigh): oh yeah, jaw pain reminds me to add in getting a tooth pulled out and leaving an inch-deep hole in my jaw to my last two weeks itinerary. ;)

Talwin: There is a path that looks like it does not connect with the water at all

Talwin: It's a little further, but not really hilly

GM: The sprial is there, you want to be on the opposite side of the map from the spiral

Talwin: An easy pace

GM: scale on the map is correct

mharmon1 (Talwin): Top left or right bob?

GM: THAT you do not know yet Michael

Craigh: lead on, Oh Brave Leader! We Followers shall Follow.

mharmon1 (Talwin): So here is the order of ops

Talwin: Nods to himself

Talwin: We don't know if it's at the top end of the left or right side of the valley

'springdew' connected

GM: It is only 60 feet over to that hole where the water is going in

Talwin: I'm not comfortable with crossing rivers unnecessarily this far from safe shores so to speak

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh shit. That is realyl to scale

Talwin: Sigh

Talwin: One sec

GM: Yes it is

Talwin: Mumbles to himself

Talwin: Then it definitely isn't a big deal to go around it then

Talwin: That' slike what, less then quarter mile

mharmon1 (Talwin): to just walk around the big gaping pit in the ground?

GM: Pause for one moment

Talwin: Pausing

LorieD (Licornah): (Unless that's a mouth at the center, and then it might be ;O) )

GM: What are the four characteristics on the map you are worried about?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Honestly? The very first one is.....hear me out :)

springdew (Lanek): back

seyfert (Raelynn): North, South, East, and West

mharmon1 (Talwin): The big gaping pit in the ground where water feeds into it

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol carissa

mharmon1 (Talwin): I don't want to be near water, where someone might slip and end up in the Sarlac pit

mharmon1 (Talwin): That's a big damn sinkhole!

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): don't stare into the abyss

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Do you ever feel like maybe you could just be living your best life, slaying a bunch of firenewts, but instead you're stuck on the hip of some overly cautious softy? No? Just me?

mharmon1 (Talwin): That's the only reason I wanted to just walk safetly around it. Then continue North on the Right hand side. Figure out if anything is there. If Yes, Yahtzee. If NO, then we can safely cureve around the big mountain looking thing that separates the North section of the map

GM: Pyramid, Spiral, dots for village, dots for fire pits

mharmon1 (Talwin): Now we have Villages? Where are these dots?

GM: On your map

springdew (Lanek): it's a spiral to get down there and we have to cross water twice on it

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): all I see is the log on the river and the spiral

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not trusting the map right now. About where the mountain beings, is all black

GM: Yes to Lisa,

mharmon1 (Talwin): Where are all these features?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I see no dots for villages?

GM: Yes to Michael, unless someone has a see through the ridge/mountain spell

GM: that is the problem you have

mharmon1 (Talwin): OH MY GOD

mharmon1 (Talwin): SIGH through Nose, counting to Ten

Talwin: So

MadamePsychosis: lol Bob

GM: You can go right around the ridge, or left around it, or over it,

GM: One of the ways will lead to the fire pits

GM: one will lead to the village

MadamePsychosis: so right now we just have to decide if we cross doing dex checks on a log or walk around the spiral?

GM: Just want to make sure how you are dealing with this

mharmon1 (Talwin): I want to Go to the Right hand side of the map. As far right as you can go. And walk North. Almost one could say at a 90 Degree Angle.

springdew (Lanek): i also do not see a pyramid or dots for villages or firepits

mharmon1 (Talwin): And see what is North. As safe as I can be

mharmon1 (Talwin): As we get closer, I can revalluate

GM: Ok do you want to follow the paths? or what? just move your tokens along as you see fit and I will tell you when you need rolls

mharmon1 (Talwin): Does anyone think I am missing someting Critical? Maybe I'm doing that

mharmon1 (Talwin): Okay. Is everyone okay with that?

springdew (Lanek): i do recommend we don't split up

MadamePsychosis: I don't think you're missing anything. we can't tell until we can see better

Shislif (Zayden): sounds good to me!

Master TMO (Craigh): unless we're overlooking information given to us, I think it's a flip of a coin or a reading of Bob's mind at this point. Pick the one you like best

LorieD (Licornah): (I vote we go on the path... follow that spiral, the map is helping us ... unless we see something that sets off the red flag)

Shislif (Zayden): what map are we using?

Lanek: but it wouldn't hurt to recon all in a line

springdew (Lanek): but it wouldn't hurt to recon all in a line

Shislif (Zayden): oh nvm

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Um, the pit of despair in the middle of the spiral is a pretty big red flag to me

mharmon1 (Talwin): So bob, I'm not moving, just showing the group the general idea of my plan. Is that Okay?

Craigh: Want one of the sneaky *ahem* scout types to lead the way?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm going to move my token now.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Everyone watching?

MadamePsychosis: yup

mharmon1 (Talwin): Remember, this is just showing

springdew (Lanek): watching

mharmon1 (Talwin): not moving

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): like a hawk

MadamePsychosis: looks good to me

mharmon1 (Talwin): Okay

GM: Michael you cannot move 300 feet in a round

mharmon1 (Talwin): OH MY GOD BOB

GM: What are you doing?

MadamePsychosis: this is just the plan bob

Master TMO (Craigh): reasonable path until we have more information

MadamePsychosis: not the movement

mharmon1 (Talwin): Lisa,please step in

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): I'm not sure BOB reads the ooc

GM: I did

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): But yes, that looks ok to me too

GM: You are at this place you are moving forward

springdew (Lanek): i liked the parts i could see

mharmon1 (Talwin): AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH

springdew (Lanek): i lost track toward the end though

mharmon1 (Talwin): Lisa. Can you translate to bob please. I give up

LorieD (Licornah): (BOB he was showing the intended path... not an actual movement)

MadamePsychosis: you're good Michael

MadamePsychosis: Bob when he's ready he'll move for real

springdew (Lanek): if we were in person, he was taking his finger and drawing, "what if we go this way" on the table map

GM: Yes, I understand that, but also cannot actually move the token there and reveal what the landscape, enemies etc are

MadamePsychosis: ok

GM: you have pointers to do that

Master TMO (Craigh): he wasn't trying to

springdew (Lanek): that was going to be my next question

MadamePsychosis: we didn't see anything

LorieD (Licornah): (I don't think he was trying to get intel... just guide the group ;) )

GM: I understand, is why I was erasing as fast as I could

Talwin: Sigh.

Talwin: Just

MadamePsychosis: smiles

Talwin: Just walk forward ujtil I roll

GM: which is why I said Move

Talwin: I need to roll

seyfert (Raelynn): ...so there are enemies probably on that path

Talwin: just walk forward until I need to roll

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): There are probably enemies everywhere

MadamePsychosis: if you want particular characters up front with you let us know

GM: I already told you twice there are dots for the village and dots for the fire pits

MadamePsychosis: otherwise we'll follow as a group

GM: Indigo and Talwin are up front for that reason

Master TMO (Craigh): we see no dots

GM: Exactly, that is all dark, you have not gotten there yet

MadamePsychosis: you ready Michael?

GM: There

mharmon1 (Talwin): As the entire group moves, I'll move to the next point

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Yeah, and can we actually assume we are all moving together this time, and have everyone stop when combat starts, rather than having combat start, and then being like "whoops, we didn't move because we thougtht we were all sticking together and now we're three turns behind!"?

GM: No to Lemon

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

GM: Becasue whencombat starts, it will be where your characters are

seyfert (Raelynn): we gonna be amushed

GM: and if you are 200 feets behind

mharmon1 (Talwin): Stagger yourselves about 10 feet.

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): ok everyone keep up lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): As best you can

GM: smiles that is why I stressed, this is all to scale

mharmon1 (Talwin): We'll get into a rythem. As everyone moves, I'll keep moving forward

seyfert (Raelynn): if you're stressed, dirnk more wine

mharmon1 (Talwin): Who is in the back still?

GM: LOL

GM: thank you

Master TMO (Craigh): Place yourselves in Marching Order, then we move one at a time from front to back.

Lanek: i do miss the follow option from whats-its-face

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Bixi is about to go under someone's legs if y'all don't move

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Michael waaaait

mharmon1 (Talwin): I am :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Just streching the congol line a bit

Craigh: Michael, stop!

mharmon1 (Talwin): sorry

mharmon1 (Talwin): I stopped

Master TMO (Craigh): wait for the rest of us to catch up first

mharmon1 (Talwin): Gotcha

springdew (Lanek): son of a gun! i only just realized that Craigh looks like Prince Harry! did someone already mention that at some point? i mean he's been looking like that the whole time

mharmon1 (Talwin): So. Continue another 10 feet?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Or keep waiting

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): howard has more range for his spells so wasn't hanging back to let people in

Master TMO (Craigh): our rear hasn't caught up yet. Rear End, please slinky up to us

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Why is Yout hiding out in the back?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): that would be you Lanek! :P

Bixi Fizzlebang: Come on, Yout

Bixi Fizzlebang: Keep up

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

springdew (Lanek): i can't go up until the people in front go up

mharmon1 (Talwin): I didn't want to say anything LIsa :)

GM: He is right there behind Rae

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): gross

Master TMO (Craigh): he's just not a face, he blends in

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Master TMO (Craigh): Alright Talwin, advance

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Shouldn't he be up front?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So like, if someone dies, it's not one of us?

seyfert (Raelynn): and leave the squishies squishabnle in the back?

springdew (Lanek): he could be, it looked like some other people wanted it more

seyfert (Raelynn): we can always be attacked from behind

mharmon1 (Talwin): ONE PROBLEM AT A TIME! LOL

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, good point

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): which is why Yout is always covering Raelunn's ass

seyfert (Raelynn): lmao

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOLOL

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Raelynn

seyfert (Raelynn): sureee that's the reason

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

GM: grins

Master TMO (Craigh): he just likes the view

seyfert (Raelynn): he did mention that to Tiberius already

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi's not crazy about being close to the front, but she's also impatient lol

Master TMO (Craigh): did Howard and Zayden intentionally stay behind to cover the path, or did we skip them?

mharmon1 (Talwin): We're getting the ryhtm guys! You all rock! :)

Indigo: This spiral thing is weird. Wonder how they made this

Craigh: Walked in a circle probably.

Talwin: It's creeping me out. I'm trying to keep an eye on

Indigo: A lot!

Talwin: Chokes at Craighs comment

GM: It does spiral down into the earth, with the water flowing downward just to be clear

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um, maybe whatever lives in the pit made it

Raelynn: I hope that's not where the ritual takes place.

Craigh: Giant grub, lovely.

Indigo: What ritual?

Craigh: I wouldn't expect a fire temple under a waterfall, to be honest.

Raelynn: For the fire gems?

Zayden: should we pee in the river? see what happens?

Bixi Fizzlebang: If we have to go into that pit, you're all on your own. Sorry Talwin.

GM: Craigh has a point

Lanek: it's a temple. gotta be rituals in a temple

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ahh, Zayden with the peeing again. I missed him.

Raelynn: If it's as sacred as they say, and secretive, it's a great way to throw people off.

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Raelynn: But I hope you're right, Craigh.

Talwin: Talwin looks like the strain of years is beginning to catch up to him

Craigh: What is with you and peeing on things, Zayden? What did those giants do to you?

Talwin: His hopes and dreams used to be simple

Zayden: hey it's perfectly natural Craigh

Indigo: I was picturing a lizard coop like a chicken coop

Indigo: Guess it's more complicated

Zayden: We have to pee all the time

Raelynn: Are lizards and chickens related...?

Indigo: They lay eggs

Raelynn: Oh, good point.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Relevant to this conversation Talwin is having with himself... today after recess, one of the three years olds came up to me and said, in a shockingly weary voice, "I feel a little bit old today."

mharmon1 (Talwin): Me too kid. Me too

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

Master TMO (Craigh): Lisa - is Howard intentionally being left behind?

Shislif (Zayden): lol

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): no he's waiting

mharmon1 (Talwin): No, she said he has more range for spells

mharmon1 (Talwin): At least I thought

Craigh: ok, just didn't want him to get overlooked (again) :)

GM: It is only about 100 feet from front to back right now

Master TMO (Craigh): ok, just didn't want him to get overlooked (again) :)

GM: overlook who?

Master TMO (Craigh): whoa, line jumping! :P

mharmon1 (Talwin): So, Raylenn, Yout, Lanek, and HOward

Master TMO (Craigh): it's fine, I'll cede my place, Zay is more useful.

GM: When you have to go you have to go I guess Zayden

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): sigh

Shislif (Zayden): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yeah, but then a T-Rex swings your corpse around like a rag doll. Don't give him that advice

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ahem. Sorry. Fire Drake

GM: The map is much smoother for everyone tonight right?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): yes

Master TMO (Craigh): I can just picture Howard turning around only to realize how far away the party is and making a mad dash through the leaves to catch up

mharmon1 (Talwin): At this moment bob, I wish the map was on fire. lol

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Don't say that

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): IT's probably about to be

mharmon1 (Talwin): It can mean two things!

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Master TMO (Craigh): Zayden, you cut in line, you have to move on your new turn. :P Your turn now. :)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): he's okay I think

Shislif (Zayden): oh ok mb

mharmon1 (Talwin): I SEE FLAME!

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): ooohhh a fire ball thing

Talwin: Talwin narrows his eyes

GM: Like that?

Talwin: Talwin narrows his eyes

Indigo: What was that?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Oh sorry.)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Did it happen?)

GM: I have some fun new tools

Talwin: Points

Talwin: You saw that right Indigo?

Master TMO (Craigh): Zayden - your move undid itself?

Talwin: Calls back

Talwin: Be on your guard

Indigo: Thought I saw a fire light but it disappeared

Talwin: I thought I saw one too

Talwin: Calls back. Keep observant for fire flashes

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 14]

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 8]

Shislif (Zayden): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Talwin: Eyes the ground, looking for pitch from the water seeping into the ground

Talwin: Sniffs the air

Raelynn: whispers, "Isn't this a FIRE swamp...?"

Talwin: Hmm

Talwin: Why are you whispering?

Talwin: Yes, but I don't want US to be on fire

Talwin: Chuckles

Raelynn: Incase someone or someTHING put it out?

Raelynn: still quietly talking

GM: Now that everyone has this down I turned off approvals

Lanek: howard? what the heck are you doin back there

Indigo: protecting your rear?

mharmon1 (Talwin): HES SPELLCASTING :D

Lanek: m is for magic in the middle

Indigo: protecting your rear?

Talwin: Rolls eyes

Talwin: As funny as that is, Howard knows his abilities

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): not giving me howard

Talwin: He walked through a Dimension door

Talwin: I'm not saying a damn thing

seyfert (Raelynn): oh man even Lisa forgot about Howard now??

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Zayden)

GM: I could move him

Daphene: Howard IS pretty cool

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm moving him until he gets back, if that's ok

mharmon1 (Talwin): Cool cool. Sorry didn't realize he stepped away

mharmon1 (Talwin): But you guys get the idea

Shislif (Zayden): back!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Every three moves, I"m rolling obs. Feel free to do the same unless bob says that's dumb

mharmon1 (Talwin): I think our slowness is particular to us paying attention

springdew (Lanek): the center of the pit must have some kind of caldera or something if it can cast a shadow and obscure view

Howard Plum: Did you wish me to go in front of you Lanek?

Lanek: i sure do. i

Master TMO (Craigh): your move zayden

Lanek: m way more expendable

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Zayden :))

mharmon1 (Talwin): We are hugging

Howard Plum: That is not true.

mharmon1 (Talwin): :D

GM: The shadow of the pit is a by product of not having the pit "open" so you can see into it, as you did not go down into the pit

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): the road opens up soon

Daphene: Be careful Lanek! I wouldn't want to lose our wise man!

Lanek: rolls eyes

Raelynn: Neither of you are expendable BUT Lanek does wear armor at least.

Zayden: Yea he'll be fine

springdew (Lanek): oh okay, so the pit isn't casting a shadow on the surrounding terrian then

seyfert (Raelynn): (hopefully not but weird we can't see over a pit)

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): it does look like the black hole pit of doom

Master TMO (Craigh): zayden, then craigh

GM: I can make it open, but then you can see down into it before you have gone down into it

seyfert (Raelynn): ......

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): why would we go into that pit?

GM: I have no idea

seyfert (Raelynn): .............................

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): not part of the plan

mharmon1 (Talwin): I wasn't going into it unless there was absoutely no other choice

GM: But I am keeping it dark until you do

LemonyLemon (Daphene): I suspect we're about to find out

seyfert (Raelynn): .........................................................

mharmon1 (Talwin): There are older, and more fouler things then Fire Drakes in the dark places of the Earth

GM: Nice Micael

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): yes

Master TMO (Craigh): zayden

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): but not going in pit

Shislif (Zayden): ugh

GM: and Talwin and Indgo can now see there is a fork in the path, one heading north, one heading around the edges of the ridge

mharmon1 (Talwin): Indigo, I'm going to Go North First. It seems this ridge divides the valley. Second thoughts?

Zayden: a pit, a fork, where's the fruit!?

LemonyLemon (Daphene): wait

LemonyLemon (Daphene): can we not see the huts from here?

Howard Plum: Sounds good to me unless reading the map will give us a clue

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yep. Just chilling at the Fork

Indigo: Sounds good to me unless reading the map will give us a clue

Talwin: Nods at Howard. While the rest of the gang catches up, I'll take another look

Indigo: Sounds good to me unless reading the map will give us a clue

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): sorry - flailing on the character changes tonight

mharmon1 (Talwin): Studies the map for any clue of what is North

mharmon1 (Talwin): (you are fine)

Talwin: Studies the map for any clue of what is North

Master TMO (Craigh): I was zoomed in too far, but the huts are north at the limits of our vision

Talwin: [SKILL] Reading/Writing [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 18]

mharmon1 (Talwin): I have not made one check tonight

LemonyLemon (Daphene): So do we want to head towards the huts?

mharmon1 (Talwin): This is embarassing

Shislif (Zayden): yay!

Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 6]

Talwin: Hm

Talwin: Well, they could be helpful villages who might know more about the Temple

Talwin: Or, they could be fire worshiping cultists who will sacrifice us to the temple

Craigh: I'd advise avoiding the natives

Talwin: Thoughts?

Indigo: I don't think anything is helpful here ...

Talwin: Then we'll continue to the left

Talwin: And press on

Talwin: Thank you

Shislif (Zayden): woot

Craigh: I'll keep an eye on them while we pass

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

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thanks Craigh

Talwin: Nods with thanks

LemonyLemon (Daphene): lol, good work Craigh

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): ouch

Craigh: Hey, this is neat bark on this tree

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not that any of us is really makeing our checks tonight. lol

Craigh: very smooth

LemonyLemon (Daphene): I've been fine since I smelted mine

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

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Just saying

seyfert (Raelynn): (speak for yourself)

Talwin: You know, that's kind of true Craigh.

Talwin: It is a smooth bark

Talwin: Huh

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

Zayden: what bark?

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Checking to see if it IS in fact, a smooth bark

mharmon1 (Talwin): oh god what have I done lol

Master TMO (Craigh): probably like a pineapple husk

mharmon1 (Talwin): And thank you everyone. I know this is slow, but I want to play it safe. I hate being in charge

mharmon1 (Talwin): It only ends well in the corporate world

-> Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes the tree is smooth, because all the bark has been worn off, like when a cow rubs against a tree, but this is more than 5 feet up the trunk

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): no worries

LemonyLemon (Daphene): I prefer too slow to too fast

springdew (Lanek): samesies

mharmon1 (Talwin): I prefer too slow, to someone rolling another character and bad feelings

Master TMO (Craigh): Raelynn

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Um... this bark looks like something has worn it smooth... but... not at ground level

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... this bark looks like something has worn it smooth... but... not at ground level

springdew (Lanek): *cough*ice giants*cough*

mharmon1 (Talwin): So, it's totally not a problem, but we could split the group for maybe people to serve as rear gaurd and we could keep moving?

Indigo: Miss Raelynn, I think we should advance now

Zayden: it's bark is likely far worse than its bite

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): grrrr

Howard Plum: Miss Raelynn, I think we should advance now

Master TMO (Craigh): OH, that makes more sense. :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Your fine with swapping LIsa :)

Bixi Fizzlebang: What do you think could have done this?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Anyone?

Lanek: bud, she's wah the heck up there

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): I'm making my chat formatting harder for myself - I will be punished

Lanek: *way

GM: LOL with Lisa

seyfert (Raelynn): (sorry saw a post of someone asking if you needed Steam to play an old PC game and am having an internal crisis right now)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe someone should keep an eye on the sky?

seyfert (Raelynn): (*an old DISC PC game)

Master TMO (Craigh): GOG might have it

Master TMO (Craigh): I think they still exist. been a long while since I visited

Zayden: walking with an eye to the sky sounds like a good way to end up on the ground

Lanek: i nominate you. oh, naw, guess it should be a tall person

mharmon1 (Talwin): They won't need steam, but many of those older games won't operate past Windows 7 now. My 1990's games won't work without a Windows Emulator

seyfert (Raelynn): no I mean... they didn't know a time before Steam

seyfert (Raelynn): They thought all games needed Steam to be played

Master TMO (Craigh): ohhh

GM: So where Talwin and Indigo aer

GM: you are at another fork

Indigo: Looks like we'll have to cross the stream

Talwin: Nods Grimly

Talwin: We'll cross to the North, but secure ourselves with Rope

GM: you have the stream on three sides, two crossings,

seyfert (Raelynn): and they asked where to find the Steam Key.... it's like floppy disc save icon all over again

GM: the ridge behind you

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): There is a setting where you can run old things as older version of windows... I don't know how to explain it because I'm dumb

GM: As you organize and decide I am going to open a bottle of wine

mharmon1 (Talwin): (If you run Windows 95 Myst, or G-Nome, the Older Versionioning option doesn't work)

seyfert (Raelynn): okay internal crisis will be shoved away with all my other feelings, you have my atttention again

mharmon1 (Talwin): Can you open one for me too bob?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ohhh, that sucks

Shislif (Zayden): i will also grab a beverage brb

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I just want to be able to play amazon trail again

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Raelynn: Well this was quite a scenic walk.

Howard Plum: And uneventful

mharmon1 (Talwin): So, heres the Deal. I think we're going to have to cross this stream. Let's cross to the Northwest and ensure a buddy system. Cross, then cross

Talwin: Nods, feeling rather dumb

Talwin: Yeah, I uh

Talwin: I thought we might see more trouble

Talwin: Sorry guys

Talwin: Flushes red

Indigo: No trouble is good

Daphene: But.. we... were already on the other side of the stream?

GM: Observation checks and or Intution

Craigh: we're potentially raiding a temple. uneventful is *good*. A boring trip is best, I keep telling you all that, no one seems to believe me.

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 3]

mharmon1 (Talwin): wow. Finally

Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 11]

Indigo: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 5]

Raelynn: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 18]

Licornah: [SKILL] Observation (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 13]

Shislif (Zayden): back!

Shislif (Zayden): what's the target?

Raelynn: Uneventful is good unless it means being here longer.

GM: There are enough of them that I will just put it here, rather than to individuals

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Intuition would be wisdom if you want to try again

Craigh: we sent Zayden to the corner store for smokes.

Raelynn: A sauna is nice, but this is going to get ridiculous.

Master TMO (Craigh): we sent Zayden to the corner store for smokes.

Raelynn: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 16]

GM: The stream is slightly steaming

seyfert (Raelynn): (oh whoops thank you)

Shislif (Zayden): Zayden would like that!

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): better :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): The question, is if he came back after grabbing them :)

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

Zayden: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 1]

Zayden: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 10]

GM: and Zayden points out that any fish in that stream are already poached

Raelynn: You know, I've been thinking. Maybe we need to switch inns because clearly you all aren't getting enough fiber in your diet. Maybe you DO need to eat a salad.

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Talwin: Looks at the Stream

Shislif (Zayden): must be a hot stream!

Talwin: Thanks Zayden

Talwin: I didn't see that

Raelynn: Not only can I not swim, but that looks... like I'd rather go around the circle again.

Zayden: No worries Tal

Talwin: Hm

Indigo: sticks his hand in quick to see how hot

Shislif (Zayden): oh like seriously? Like the fish area dead?

Talwin: Let me take a look at this bridge for a second

Raelynn: Doesn't the map have, like, a giant star that says, "Go here for the temple!" on it?

GM: As in there are no fish that you can see, but the water is very warm

Talwin: Examines the Bridge carefully, establishing it's condition and sturdiness

Shislif (Zayden): oh ok lol

Master TMO (Craigh): Go-go Engineer Senses!

Talwin: [SKILL] Engineering [2] [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 5]

mharmon1 (Talwin): YEP!

seyfert (Raelynn): lovely hot spring warm or gonna die warm?

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

GM: It is an excellent bridge, excellent for two logs with some twine wrapped around them and then tossed over a warm steaming stream

mharmon1 (Talwin): Was that sarcasm I detect bob?

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

GM: Talwin DOES get a bonus how ever

GM: He can tell this is not human construction

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): yay

GM: so you are definately in someone's territory

Talwin: Eyes the bridge carefully

Talwin: Eyes the bridge carefully

Talwin: Humans didn't construct this bridge

Zayden: You don't say?

Zayden: Who was it then if it wasn't humans?

mharmon1 (Talwin): How hot was the Water indigo?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe whatever rubbed off the bark on the trees...

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm thinking these firenewts might be... very tall

'springdew' disconnected

GM: The key takeaway from that is this was not made by your ranger friend during his escape

Indigo: The fire newts

Talwin: How hot was the Water indigo?

Zayden: rubbed off the bark...

Zayden snickers

Craigh: Firenewts maybe

Talwin: Hm

Talwin: Shrugs

Indigo: Not hot enough to burn me and cause any damage

Indigo: But warm enough

GM: Correct for Indigo

Talwin: Well, we're burning daylight. I can swim anyways, but here, take this end of rope please

Raelynn: Oh! So like a hot spring! Maybe it would be lovely.

Talwin: Hands a careful loop to Indigo

Talwin: We'll go one by one

GM: not boiling water hot, more like soup hot

Talwin: For safety

Raelynn: Er, but doesn't this mean Craigh is wrong?

Zayden: we crosssing that "bridge"?

Raelynn: That water might not be cool at the bottom of thepit.

Indigo: Okay

Talwin: Ties the end around his waist and walkes over the Bridge.

GM: Dex check

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe, or maybe you'll get swept away in the current and fall into the pit

Indigo: takes the rope offered

Talwin: Rolls eyes

Zayden: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 19]

Talwin: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 17]

Shislif (Zayden): dang

mharmon1 (Talwin): Swimming check?

Zayden: thanksa lot Tal!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Failing that....Rope check?

GM: First Talwin

Indigo: watches them and drops the rope so he doesn't get pulled in too

Shislif (Zayden): climbing or jumpting check?

mharmon1 (Talwin): This is why we are careful

Talwin: Seriously Indigo!

GM: As he goes across the logs, he slips on the slick bark and tumbles into the water

Talwin: I gave you that for a reason!

Talwin: Sputters

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): So he can go down with the ship?

GM: now a Con check

mharmon1 (Talwin): How deep is it? and how fast

Shislif (Zayden): is that just for Tal or all of us?

Master TMO (Craigh): yeah, but this is funnier :D

mharmon1 (Talwin): Goign to roll again. Rolled once

GM: working on Talwin first then Zayden,

Shislif (Zayden): oh ok

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hm

mharmon1 (Talwin): CON is not working

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob can you just roll it please?

GM: make sure you are rolling into the chat? if it bounces out it will not work

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): no! not BOB'S dice!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Don't do it Michael!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Things are not yet that desperate!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Stayed in chat. I can film?

GM: LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): But will try again

Talwin: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 10]

Talwin: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 11]

mharmon1 (Talwin): Wow. That was painful

GM: grins

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sorry bob.

GM: no worries

mharmon1 (Talwin): So NOW a swim check?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Rope check is a gonner apparently

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

GM: and so Talwin drops into the water, suddenly is SUCKED down

mharmon1 (Talwin): AHA I IKNEW IT

mharmon1 (Talwin): I fucking KNEW IT

GM: He grabs the robe again,

mharmon1 (Talwin): SuCK IT

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): argh! here is where the pit comes in

GM: and now a strength check

GM: Thank you Lisa

Talwin: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 8]

GM: and Talwin HEAVES himself back up with the rope out of the water

Talwin: THIS IS MY VINDICATION YOU ASSHOLES

Talwin: FURIOUS at himself

Zayden: heyyy there h e is!

GM: While this is happening Zayden.....

Talwin: And Embarrased because of the slip

GM: failed his check across the bridge

mharmon1 (Talwin): Zayden, did you grab the rope?

GM: so now he gets to make a Con check

Shislif (Zayden): probably not

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Look, I'm not saying you should kill them or anything, but I would be happy to help you teach them a lesson

Zayden: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 9] [d20 = 19]

Shislif (Zayden): dang it Zay is gonna die!

Talwin -> Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): ONCE IN A WHILE, MY PARANOIA IS IMPORTANT DAMMIT

GM: so Zayden is sucked under

Talwin: Howard!

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): can he swim?

Shislif (Zayden): swimming check?

Talwin: Stop the water!

GM: If Zayden can swim yes he gets that check

Howard Plum: What?

Talwin: We got a man coming your way!

Talwin: Maybe

GM: and LOL

Howard Plum: I cann't stop a river!

Zayden: [SKILL] Swimming [MOD:STR] (vs. Target 9) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 8]

Raelynn: How do you stop water, Talwin?!

GM: Howard! Part the red sea

Shislif (Zayden): at least!

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

Talwin: I don't know! Do you have Raise Earth?

Raelynn: That'd be Bixi! Maybe someone run over and try to grab him??

GM: so Zayden has one chance here on his own

Raelynn: Or lasso!

Howard Plum: Ask the priests!

Shislif (Zayden): climb wall?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Did he make his check first, then call to the priests)

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): And let this be a lesson in my paranoia. Grab.The.Rope

seyfert (Raelynn): swim he did so thought lasso might be an option but waiting...

Shislif (Zayden): climb walls?

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Does Bixi have that?

GM: You get to do EITHER an attack on Talwin to grab him and try to stop from being sucked down... OR you can make another Con check to get a better gulp of air before being sucked down

mharmon1 (Talwin): I still am wrapped around the rope, grab me

Shislif (Zayden): I'll attack Talwin!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Everyone! Grab the rope!

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

Talwin: Flings the line backwards

GM: go for it Sharif

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): That enthusiasm. That's what I'm talking about.

Talwin: Reaches out to Zayden

Talwin: Grab my hand!

Zayden: [INIT] [MOD:Grabbing] [d10 = 3]

mharmon1 (Talwin): If he misses, can I roll an attack on him?

GM: You can just roll off of your sheet against Talwin

Zayden: [ATTACK (M)] Grabbing [THACO(17)] [d20-3 = 15]

Attack [15] ->[ATTACK (M)] [at Talwin] [Hit-AC: 2 vs. 10 ] [AC: 2 ] [HIT]

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): nice!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh thank god

Talwin: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 11]

Shislif (Zayden): good? I thought that was bad lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh thank god

GM: SLAM, just as he is about to go under Zayden reaches out and GRABS Tawlin's leg

Talwin: I said my HAND!

Talwin: HEAVES!

GM: Talwin just needs to make a strength check

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): Ok, I was about to ask if I could see him to give him either water breathing or water walking. jeez.

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Again?)

Zayden: You're legs are so muscular! Cough cough

GM: you just doubled the weight

seyfert (Raelynn): *just*

Talwin: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 6]

GM: and Talwin HEAVES both of them back up onto the shore

GM: everyone is safe

Zayden: cough cough

Talwin: Zayden, I love you man. But for now, can you go to the back of the line

LemonyLemon (Reven / Lipthink (giant sword)): I mean, Zayden IS probably still pretty emaciated from being a giant prisoner. Not like we had TONS of food on the boat

Talwin: Nearly shouts the last few words

Zayden: I hate this bridge

Talwin: Indigo!

Indigo: That was bad

Talwin: Let's rig up an anchor system for these ropes

Indigo: Yes?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword) -> Talwin: Just a little nick to teach them a lesson

Talwin: Give me a few moments while I examine this

Daphene: Can't we just go back around?

Talwin: Lanek! I need your Bark Skills

Daphene: We were just on the other side of this water

Craigh: or should we just walk back around the spiral?

Zayden: Back of the line? That feels like a punishment man

Raelynn: Maybe the Fates want us to go into the Pit.

Talwin: Well

Talwin: Thumbs his chin

Talwin: Now that you say it

Talwin: Let's do that. Wow. Didn't even think about that

Howard Plum: I don't want to go in the pit

Talwin: Let's just walk back around

Talwin: Nods

Raelynn: Maybe the village actually has someone helpful to talk to?

Zayden: I'm telling you cough cough

Talwin: Sighs

Zayden: we should cough

Zayden: pee cough

LemonyLemon (Daphene): lol

GM: QUOTES

Raelynn: Mm, neither do I Howard, but I also don't really want to be here, so what's one more place I don't want to be?

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Put it to a Vote. All in favor of Walkling back around to go back North. OR, Village. Cast your vote now. If you do not vote, you will be assumed to walk back around

Talwin: Put it to a Vote. All in favor of Walkling back around to go back North. OR, Village. Cast your vote now. If you do not vote, you will be assumed to walk back around

GM: (POLL)

LemonyLemon (Daphene): what. how

Howard Plum: I think a pit would be worse than worse

Talwin: Checkmarks is North, X is Village

GM: Check is back around X is into the pit

mharmon1 (Talwin): INTO the pIt? Don't you mean the village bob?

seyfert (Raelynn): he's gonna force us in there one way or another

GM: nope

GM: just offering two options on this vote

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, I was confused, I'm voting for going back around anyway

GM: but the go back around wins

seyfert (Raelynn): at least we can light it up or sneak in BEFORE he forces that ambush on us

Shislif (Zayden): I feel like the pit will be more exciting

GM: now Lemon, you can try it Slash vote

mharmon1 (Talwin): Let me phrase this as clearly as I can. The pit is off limits. For all intents of english language preceeding and from henceforth, any wordplay regardless of wording, will be a intention of NOT entering the pit

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

'springdew' connected

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): who would vote for jumping in steamy sucking water pit?

Bixi Fizzlebang: (POLL)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): what

seyfert (Raelynn): Me! Hi!

GM: Excellent

GM: There is another layer I will add later

Licornah: (POLL)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Okay, it won. We are walking back around

GM: but now we have this option for people to make decisions

mharmon1 (Talwin): Reorient yourselves

mharmon1 (Talwin): And yes, this is pretty cool :)

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): can we jump back instead of inching back?

GM: Yes to Lisa

Talwin: Bob, would that be okay?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh thank god

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): thx

GM: that is my next point

mharmon1 (Talwin): TY

Master TMO (Craigh): huzzah! :)

GM: advancing time then moving you to the right space

The time is 1:40 PM

mharmon1 (Talwin): Into the Line :)

Raelynn: Talwin, we're walking in literal circles.

Lanek: sorry just got back

Talwin: I know Raelynn. But that river is dangerous. I just want to be careful okay?

Talwin: Clearly upset, but trying to keep it together. Done with everyones shit

Indigo: This map is bad

Talwin: Just wants to go home

Indigo: It didn't tell us anything

Raelynn: Yes, that's fair, I suppose. I just wish the map told you more.

Zayden: Hey Tal, just wanted to say, about earlier

Raelynn: It doesn't speak to you like your sword does, does it?

Talwin: I wish a lot of things at the moment

Talwin: Yes?

Zayden: You have really nice legs man

Raelynn: Oh! It does talk to you??

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

Talwin: Eyes Zayden. Don't you have a pit to piss into?

Lanek: snorts

Talwin: All right! Let's move out!

Zayden: Oh man I wish

Raelynn: mutters, "Well at least he's done with his oiling."

mharmon1 (Talwin): IN all honesty. Is there a way to group characters like in M. Visio, where if we move one, we all move that same amount? If everyone gives permission, we could just do that in five foot increments

Zayden: that sounds convenient

Shislif (Zayden): OOC

GM: no to Michael, there is a Marching Order option but that only works in a general sense and is mostly for dungeon type stuff

mharmon1 (Talwin): Just trying to be time consientious. No problem

Raelynn: You know, if we had a dwarf with us, he could probably talk to the stone map.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): klooge let us move in group :P

Talwin: Groans

Talwin: Oh Raelynn, that's a great thought

GM: LOL with Lisa

Talwin: But we don't do we

Talwin: Sadly

Talwin: Huh

Raelynn: Well you already talk to swords so you're halfways there.

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 3]

Craigh: I can crawl on my knees and put on a fake beard if it will help

mharmon1 (Talwin): Looks for any sort of marking on what the fork path leads to the left

Indigo: Another fork

Talwin: Wonder what lies in that direction. Might be useful later

Talwin: Not on our map, just curious if we need a quick getaway

Raelynn: Oh, maybe, Craigh.

Raelynn: Er, but we should try that some other time.

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Any sort of sign, or marking bob?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (If not, when everyone is ready, we'll keep moving)

GM: none

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): you don't want to walk off the map?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Kinda do actually, but don't want people upset with me :)

seyfert (Raelynn): (there's a pit off the map)

GM: See you wanted a sign

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): If characters get held up, we can walk around them

GM: I admit I did restrain myself from building all sorts of things around this to make a bigger jungle

mharmon1 (Talwin): They'll catch up :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): The map isn't too big

GM: but wanted to be sure to keep the map faster for you

Talwin: Eyes the Bridge sourly

Talwin: Flips it the Bird

Talwin: Waste of time

Talwin: Grumbles

Talwin: But better then Satan's butthole

Talwin: S'pose

Raelynn: My mother used to tell me if you do that too often, someone will cut your finger off.

Master TMO (Craigh): I think Zayden is one of those people who can't be in the middle of the group - they have to lead. :)

Talwin: My mother didn't tell me anything, because she was dead

Shislif (Zayden): lol

seyfert (Raelynn): he wants to be where the action is which is apparently Talwin's calves

GM: HAH

Shislif (Zayden): True!

Raelynn: That's unfortunate. You can just take my mother's advice, then.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

Talwin: Somehow I think your mother wouldn't approve of me. I'd be a terrible son

Talwin: mumbles under his breath

Raelynn: Oh, you never know. Maybe after all this she'll cook us up a meal.

Talwin: Eyes widen

Talwin: Whoa!

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 15]

Talwin: It looks like Fire up ahead, but can't be sure!

Raelynn: Fire ...in a fire swamp. And this is different how...?

Talwin: Everyone, I think we are nearing the Fire part of the "Fire Swamps"

Talwin: This would be why the water was poaching the fish

Zayden: that would make sense

Zayden: hey wait up Tal

LorieD (Licornah): (Maybe you should have grabbed a few of those fish for snacks)

Shislif (Zayden): woops mb

mharmon1 (Talwin): Actually, I'm kind of hungry at the moment> Not for fish, but you made me think about food lol

Master TMO (Craigh): Zayden doesn't like his fish cooked. Raw and peed on only

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So I DO have aura of comfort, which allows people to be comfortable up to 140 degrees, but it's on a person, so I can't give it to everyone. Just for reference if we get to a point where we need that

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean, isn't that Sushi?

seyfert (Raelynn): his version of cheviche

Shislif (Zayden): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Please don't hurt me

seyfert (Raelynn): *ceviche

springdew (Lanek): heh

mharmon1 (Talwin): Need a heat check when everyone is up here

seyfert (Raelynn): Licornah and Rae have resist fire as well

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh is staying by Licornah apparently

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, mine does not protect against actual fire, just heat.

mharmon1 (Talwin): I have a feeling it will be HOT, but bearable for walking the path quickly. But then again, I know nothing until we see

Master TMO (Craigh): or maybe lag and I didn't see herr move

seyfert (Raelynn): she moved when you did

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh is particularly flammable, just fyi

mharmon1 (Talwin): Is he really?

seyfert (Raelynn): he's that hairy?

Indigo: looks for yellow crusty things on the grouns as he walks

Master TMO (Craigh): pasty red heads burn easily

mharmon1 (Talwin): When everyon ei sup, I need bob to tell me bearability of the temp

GM: I did not add the fire effects to the map just static images, I wanted to test with things to be sure we were quick and minimal lag

seyfert (Raelynn): ehh all humans burn the same

springdew (Lanek): i appreciate that

mharmon1 (Talwin): So, bob will punish me, but I'm going to walk forward ten steps. Wait thirty seconds, and then move again.

seyfert (Raelynn): game is more fun without lag :P

GM: It seems like a sucess so far, I have had zero errors on my side of things and the map seems to move easily

GM: wait right there Michael for everone to catch up

mharmon1 (Talwin): But I'm at 27 second?

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Lanek: i dunno about streams but it's gettin smaller. mebbe we are close to the source now

GM: Lanek can make an observation check

Shislif (Zayden): brb

Lanek: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 14]

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Master TMO (Craigh): we're being followed!

GM: Lanek can spot where on the ridge the stream seeps out of the rock and starts to trickle down to form that stream

Talwin: Frankly Craigh, I would say I'm surprised, but I'm really not

Talwin: Any markings or features you can tell?

Lanek: so. streams come out of rocks, do they?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I need a snack, sorry. I thought food would have magically arrived by now, but it did not.

Talwin: Yes. They are underground rivers

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

Lanek: it's just kinda seepin out up there

GM: Anyone think that is unusual? want to make a check?

Talwin: Nods

Master TMO (Craigh): that was OOC, just fyi

User has gone AFK. (MadamePsychosis)

mharmon1 (Talwin): which part bob, the underground river check?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I don't reall ythink that's odd. Am I missing the obvious again?

seyfert (Raelynn): supervolcano beneath us?

Talwin: Using his understanding of building castles on top of a swamp, Talwin cranks his headspace again

Talwin: [SKILL] Engineering [2] [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 9] [d20 = 19]

GM: Nature people or if you can give me a good reason to question

mharmon1 (Talwin): And is not insightful enough to gather anything

seyfert (Raelynn): lemme think a secon while I put my snack away

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sounds like an important detail. People who can roll, go ahead

springdew (Lanek): nature is all strange to Lanek

Shislif (Zayden): roll what?

Licornah: [SKILL] Agriculture (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 18]

Shislif (Zayden): detect traps?

Licornah: [SKILL] Herbalism [2] - free prof [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 5]

mharmon1 (Talwin): I think it's someting about the underground river, if I'm understanding bob's ask

seyfert (Raelynn): what kind of rock would let it seep like that?

Talwin: Basalt

Lanek: salt?

Talwin: It's volvanic rock used in fortress walls for it's stability

Lanek: oh

GM: Licornah agrees with Lanek about the stream emerging from the rocks there, and it seems to be steam coming there also, as it emerges into the air

seyfert (Raelynn): large pool of water under there

Talwin: If you crush it up, and superheat it, you can use a ballistae to launch a burining powerder at invaders

mharmon1 (Talwin): Are you saying there's an aquifer in there? Or just a large storage of water?

Talwin: Are you saying there's an aquifer in there? Or just a large storage of water?

seyfert (Raelynn): so clarify: is it a shit ton of steam going up that becomes a river or is that water the same level as us?

GM: water is the same level as you, flowing downstream, as you are walking up hill right now,

seyfert (Raelynn): I'd think the main thing is if you have at much steam and water, wouldn't you have a gesyer somewhere near it?

GM: BINGO

seyfert (Raelynn): 10 Points to Ravenclaw!

mharmon1 (Talwin): So...it could be a timed gesyer?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Because I don't see one on the map now

seyfert (Raelynn): Not necessarily. Just somewhere nearby to release all that steam.

GM: that is a very curious thing huh Michael

seyfert (Raelynn): Like how some Yellowstone Geysers always go off, and some not as often as the pressure is released elsewhere

mharmon1 (Talwin): Gee, thanks for the 10 points I DIDN"T want for Ravenclaw

User is back. (MadamePsychosis)

springdew (Lanek): it's in the hole, isn't it?

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

GM: Thank you Spring

mharmon1 (Talwin): That's a really big gesyer Spring. That would be MASSIVE

Talwin: Well shit. Bob confirmed it

seyfert (Raelynn): So to my original point: supervolcano! Woooo!!

mharmon1 (Talwin): I vote we don't get dissovled in the Yellowstone Geyser

springdew (Lanek): so following our instincts may have saved our lives, so far

mharmon1 (Talwin): Let's just get the Gems and GTFO of here

mharmon1 (Talwin): And Paranoia

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

seyfert (Raelynn): They'll at least find your shoe.

springdew (Lanek): as long as we can keep the villagers from throwing us down the hole

mharmon1 (Talwin): That's great comfort Carissa

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

seyfert (Raelynn): :)

GM: Also to be clear it is only 10 foot across when you get down to the center of that sprial

mharmon1 (Talwin): 10 Feet is a BIG DAMN Geyser

seyfert (Raelynn): And added comfort: if the whole supervolcano goes off, all of us AND everyone else in like 1000 mile radius will die, too!

Lanek: fun!

Master TMO (Craigh): *WHEN*??? you think I'm going anywhere near that thing??

springdew (Lanek): fun!

GM: and Lisa comes back to super volcanos

mharmon1 (Talwin): Fun fact I wish I hadn't learned. Everything to like the Grand Canyon is leveled and the Earth becomes a frozen wastelland

seyfert (Raelynn): everyone else gets a slower, painful death of starvation

mharmon1 (Talwin): And tahat :)

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

mharmon1 (Talwin): But enough of Natural Disasters. I'm pretty sure we'll nuke ourselves into obvlivion before that happens. Back to happier times...

GM: As Lemon comes back to finding a super volcano and the fires up ahead

springdew (Lanek): brb

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

GM: You can see three levels of heat up ahead

seyfert (Raelynn): happier times of the fictional supervolcano

mharmon1 (Talwin): Is this like the Three Tests of Indiana Jones?

mharmon1 (Talwin): A penitent man kneels and does not burn to death?

GM: You seem to have found all the sections of the map you were looking for

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh Look guys! It's the Aztec Fire Temple Xiuhtecuhtli. Who among us will be sacrified to the Volano Gods!

Shislif (Zayden): nice job team!

GM: Spiral, pyramid, dots of the village, dots of the fires

The time is 2:10 PM

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yay, we did it, time to go home!

Talwin: Well I got nothing. We know we are being followed, and we have a great big pyramid ahead of us. It would be a great vantage point if nothing else.

Master TMO (Craigh): and nary an encounter to show for it

Talwin: I propose we do our best to cirumnativate the DON"T JINX IT TMO, the Fires, and approach the Pyramid

mharmon1 (Talwin): Er, adjust that

Raelynn: [SKILL] Religion, Elven [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 8]

GM: What did the ranger tell you about how these work?

Talwin: I propose we do our best to circumnativate the Fires, and approach the pyramid

GM: and what are you hoping for Carissa?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Honestly, I must have missed that one Bob.

mharmon1 (Talwin): I did read up, but don't recal that part. I'm sorry

seyfert (Raelynn): I dunno, any religious significants, a nicely written list of where to find the fire gems, something

seyfert (Raelynn): either way guessing there's something religious here

mharmon1 (Talwin): A wall sculpture perhaps? with a shrine of Fire Gems?

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean, it's a pyramid

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Any sign of where they sacrifice us, etc.

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

seyfert (Raelynn): a step-by-step guide to stealing fire gems?

mharmon1 (Talwin): that would be nice too

seyfert (Raelynn): yeah but each pyramid was dedicated to someone specific, maybe focused on a specific diety, you know all that

mharmon1 (Talwin): Maybe they give them out like Tourist attraction souvenirs if you stop by the flee market

Indigo: are you talking about the yellow crusty things on the ground that blow when there is too much pressure?

MadamePsychosis: ooc

GM: The Ranger did tell you about what and how to find the Fire Gems

MadamePsychosis: oh that

Zayden: [SKILL] Singing [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 4]

GM: and it seems like Lisa is catching up

seyfert (Raelynn): (probably when I wasn't here and didn't do the summary so for once, someone else has to remember ;) )

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sigh. I failed here guys. I don't remember this. If we need to put this on hold while I pull up the transcript I can do that

mharmon1 (Talwin): Does anyone remember this part of what bob has brought up?

MadamePsychosis: that was the week before that

Zayden sings

GM: acknowledging Zayden

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I never remember anything

Zayden smiles

GM: Will add that when everyone is caught up

Master TMO (Craigh): so it's in the summary that I actually did

GM: smiles

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm sorry guys. I messed up by not doing this research, and at this point I've just been sick long enough that I want to keep moving. Yes, it's dumb. Yes bob will punish me, but I just want to kind of get the adventure over with at this point

mharmon1 (Talwin): I know that's not a great attitude, I'm sorry. My heart just really isn't in it anymore

Shislif (Zayden): No worries!

GM: Not at all Michael, it is a group story arc, not one person, it is centered for Talwin but everyone helps everyone out

MadamePsychosis: Bredin Blackmark: The Fire newt priestess take the Fire Gems and Inseminate? them that makes them Fire Eggs, at least that is what I have heard everyone call them Bredin Blackmark: I think some one...? lays them, then they bake them Bredin Blackmark: heat them Bredin Blackmark: and then do that thing he said Bredin Blackmark: and they change from gems to eggs

MadamePsychosis: they are guarded by newt priests

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well, that was an interesting conversation. At this point, I'm about ready to go find some Newt Priests, hope they attack me on sight, and then loot the shit out of the temple

mharmon1 (Talwin): Okay. Just one second

mharmon1 (Talwin): Trying to think quickly

MadamePsychosis: so we want the ones in the oven before they get inseminated but they are guearded by new priests

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yes. We need to get them before they become actual eggs it looks like

mharmon1 (Talwin): If I was an oven though...

Firenewt, Priest: Advanced Effect ['DDR: 1 fire;DDR: -1 cold'] -> [to Firenewt, Priest]

Firenewt, Priest 2: Advanced Effect ['DDR: 1 fire;DDR: -1 cold'] -> [to Firenewt, Priest 2]

Firenewt, Priest: Advanced Effect ['DDR: 1 fire;DDR: -1 cold'] -> [to Firenewt, Priest]

mharmon1 (Talwin): I wonder if the Temple leads down into the Earth. If the heat is below, I wouldn't be suprised

mharmon1 (Talwin): We see fire here, but nothing that looks like a specific overn

Craigh: OR, get some eggs and raise our own firenewts back home?

MadamePsychosis: not sure what he meant by bake/heat them

GM: take a moment

GM: this is the key spot for you

Craigh: any gems near these fires?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Nods. It is. I'm just. Meh. Thoughts anyone?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean, that's a good idea

mharmon1 (Talwin): Couldn't hurt to just look around first

GM: You are not close enough to look at the fires directly/closely

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm no longer in favor of raising our own since I found out they were people.

GM: You are just there

Master TMO (Craigh): just think of it like adoption. :)

GM: about 15 feet away from the first fire pit

MadamePsychosis: can you say what the difference of the 3 things in front of us are?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm going to use the restoom and refill my drink. I'm thinking on this. Give me three minutes

MadamePsychosis: one looks like a fire river, another a fire amoeba and then a fire worm box

GM: There is a fire pit to your NE that is burning low, there is a fire pit straight ahead that is burning hotter, and there is a trench that is large and long that is burning very hot

Master TMO (Craigh): those are pretty good descriptions of them

MadamePsychosis: more like a paramecium than an amoeba

User is back. (springdew)

Master TMO (Craigh): so they start low temp and heat up, and move to hotter and hotter flames

GM: and yes for Lisa's descriptions being much more poetic

Master TMO (Craigh): so start looking in the fire worm box

MadamePsychosis: will wait for Michael to get back

Master TMO (Craigh): toss Talwin in to look!

MadamePsychosis: I can have Indigo look but don't want to take away Michael's fun :)

GM: This is where the humans dealing with Fire comes into play also

MadamePsychosis: Indigo stuck his hand in the steam stream earlier

Talwin: Okay back. TY

Licornah: I think we need to think about our formation... if we're being watched, we should prepare some sort of defense

mharmon1 (Talwin): Feel better

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Playing with fire

Licornah: We're in their territory... they have the upper hadn

Licornah: hand

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm far too frail for any fire-checking

mharmon1 (Talwin): How about this. I know we don't really split the group. But what about casting heat resistance on an advance group of heavy hitters to go look for potential spots of gems, and leave the second group to gaurd our extraction point

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thoughts?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No way is Bixi trying it, and Daph already got burned by a dragon in this swamp so she's probably not interested until the next adventure

mharmon1 (Talwin): If we need to come back, we can reintergrate

Shislif (Zayden): Zay is hot enough as it is

mharmon1 (Talwin): Any other plans, feel free to post them now

GM: HAH

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Do we have anyone who can sneak? I mean... better than Daph, who is in denial about what she can do

Master TMO (Craigh): the current though Talwin, is that best spot to look for gems is the fire to our right

MadamePsychosis: is the air to hot to advance?

Shislif (Zayden): Zay has some sneaking

Master TMO (Craigh): well, MY current thought. Others may have other ideas

MadamePsychosis: too

mharmon1 (Talwin): Good question LIsa

mharmon1 (Talwin): Can talin approach the right brazer enough to see in it?

GM: the air is hotter, steamier than the rest of the jungle but not unbearable yet

MadamePsychosis: thx

GM: When you want to say you are ready and start to move forward let me know and we can proceed

seyfert (Raelynn): resist fire/heat spells are single person spells

seyfert (Raelynn): so you have to be very picky about who'd need it

Shislif (Zayden): Zay has move silently, not sure if that's different from sneak

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Same with aura of comfort

springdew (Lanek): lanek does too

springdew (Lanek): and also hide in shadows

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I do also have 10' radius invisibility. So like... great combo if we can figure out where we need to be, i guess

Shislif (Zayden): Dang it Lanek

MadamePsychosis: the least heat is in the box maybe someone can take a peek at that one

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So... either Talwin, who will probably need the resistance the most... or whoever wants to be sacrificed to the fire?

Shislif (Zayden): Sounds good

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hopefully only figuratively speaking

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talwin i sgoing to walk right up to the right brazer. When it gets too hot bob, please pretent that talwin stops. At that point, he looks

Master TMO (Craigh): I for one, do *not* want to be sacrificed

Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 10]

LorieD (Licornah): (So we're going to ignore the potential ambush?)

GM: We are waiting until everyone is ready

GM: then

GM: Talwin can do that

Shislif (Zayden): ambush?

GM: and looks to Lorie

LorieD (Licornah): :: shrugs :: carry on

mharmon1 (Talwin): Frankly, there probably is one.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What potential ambush? What did I miss?

Howard Plum: [CAST] Detect Magic

springdew (Lanek): hide in shadows only works motionless, so it's no good for sneaking

Shislif (Zayden): dang it

GM: Using that for Howard also when we start moving

springdew (Lanek): sorry, virtually motionless

Howard Plum: casts detect magic to see if he can see any wards or spells guarding the area

Shislif (Zayden): Oh I can use my find traps if we're worried about traps?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean... ok here's the thing. If they're out here, these newts are stupid af and I'm willing to reconsider raising our own at home. Because why would you just leave your coveted eggs in a box out in the open like that.

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): that spell should go almost to the steps of the temple

GM: So what I am hearing is that the only spells being cast is Howard doing Detect Magic, as Talwin starts to move forward to the fire pit to the NE, Lanek and Zayden are trying to hide in shadows, and the rest are just staying back

Shislif (Zayden): Maybe they're very trusting?

seyfert (Raelynn): and keeping an eye out for things

Shislif (Zayden): should i roll hide in shadows?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was thinking maybe we'd get more information about this potential ambush before moving on, but if not, then I guess sure

GM: Not yet

Master TMO (Craigh): I can do a check for traps

Shislif (Zayden): ok

GM: To check for traps you would have to move forward in front of Talwin, so that would be the action that I start with

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): is anything glowing for Howard?

Master TMO (Craigh): at least until it gets too hot for me

GM: Howard has not cast yet

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): When it gets too hot, Bixi will cast aura of comfot, but she's going to wait until Talwin needs it so

Shislif (Zayden): I have information gathering, but not sure that applies to this situations

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): he did above

Master TMO (Craigh): your call Michael? Want me to clear your path?

GM: I want to be sure I know what everone is doing first

seyfert (Raelynn): same with any spell Rae has as time-based

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): ok

Talwin: Please Case Fire Proection on Trap Checker

Shislif (Zayden): refill time brb

seyfert (Raelynn): although Licornah is closer and it might be touch spell

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Then, Trap Checker can Check

GM: Howard is casting, Zayden is singing and hiding in shadows,

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): figured with a 60 ft range it would be a safe starter spell

GM: Talwin is moving forward

seyfert (Raelynn): lol maybe don't sing when you hide

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): lol

GM: Again, why I am confirming what everyone said they want to do

mharmon1 (Talwin): Can we hop on Discord. I think this is turning into a Cluster

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): the guys might want to wait to see what Howard says

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'll voice record it if we have too

GM: No to Michael

GM: you can do it here

Master TMO (Craigh): this is a quote for this week's summary: "Zayden is singing and hiding in shadows"

seyfert (Raelynn): yes to Lisa's point: waiting to see before next step for Rae at least depending what Howard and Talwin find

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Nothing has even happened yet, we're still fine

LemonyLemon (Daphene): But yeah, I guess what else are we going to do? Nothing has happened yet, might as well approach the firebox and see if anything tries to stop us

Master TMO (Craigh): so now we have background music with no discernable source for our scene

seyfert (Raelynn): just like a normal movie!

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Root out the mysterious ambush

GM: At the risk of giving the plot away...... Who is going to walk up to the box that IS ON FIRE and check for what is inside of it

seyfert (Raelynn): Ah well you see I did miss that point

seyfert (Raelynn): Talwin said he stops when it gets too hot but, uh, fire probably means too hot

Master TMO (Craigh): I think Craigh should go *near* the box, but let Talwin under his Prot from Fire do the actual checking. If we have that spell

LemonyLemon (Daphene): yeah but I mean, you can stand close to it

seyfert (Raelynn): Lorie did you want to cast or me?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): I'm fine with it but would kind of want to see if the area has magic things hanging around since we are near a temple potentially full of casting priests

GM: Fire worms, Fire paramesium, Fire wall as Lisa described them earlier

Master TMO (Craigh): so Howard's Detect Magic first, then rest of plot?

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Ok unless someone is going to get yanked into the firebox

seyfert (Raelynn): so wait for Howard THEN focus on Talwin's next move?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Okay. Heres the Skinny. I have no idea what everyone's character can do. If you feel you can contribute, DON"T WAIT FOR ME, just DO IT :) I promise I won't be mad or whatever

seyfert (Raelynn): or what TMO said

Shislif (Zayden): to hiding in shadows and singing!

Shislif (Zayden): not ominous at all

GM: Ok so round One, Howard casts detect magic

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talwin is my very real mentality. I'm not thinking of conmplex things that might solve a problem, Talwin lik eme, just walks up to the problem and socks it in the face. This is what you are dealing with. If you have ideas, everyone PLEASE do them

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Ok, then I guess I'll do aura of comfort on Talwin just to be safe. Assuming Talwin is the one approaching the firebox

GM: wait

Master TMO (Craigh): this kind of plotting is *very* difficult to coordinate over text-only chat

GM: Lemon when are you doing that?

Howard Plum: walks from east to west to see if he sees any magic around the fire structures or in front of the temple

mharmon1 (Talwin): I KNOW!

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): That's why I'm just screeming at my screen

Licornah: Licornah cast a spell NOT memorized.

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

LemonyLemon (Daphene): As soon as possible

GM: Everone had two weeks from the last session to think about this, and then we just spent an hour, I want to move forward

GM: so

LemonyLemon (Daphene): As soon as I get confirmation that Talwin is going to be the one approaching the firebox

GM: When Howard casts Detect Magic

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): what does Howard see?

GM: That is when everyone can roll Init

Youtargim

Shislif (Zayden): did he cast it yet?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): oh man did howard set off an alarm just casting?

Youtargim

springdew (Lanek): i've got a work emergency. but i do want Lanek to hide in shadows

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

seyfert (Raelynn): not just Yout apparently

Bixi Fizzlebang: [INIT] [d10-10 = -8]

seyfert (Raelynn): *no

Daphene: [INIT] [d10 = 9]

Zayden: Zayden tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

Master TMO (Craigh): I haven't seen Howard cast the spell yet

Youtargim: [INIT] [d10+10 = 12]

Zayden: Zayden tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

Talwin: [INIT] [d10+10 = 18]

Shislif (Zayden): Can't roll Init for some reason

Raelynn: [INIT] [d10+10 = 13]

Licornah: [INIT] [d10+10 = 15]

Zayden: Zayden tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

Indigo: [INIT] [d10-10 = -8]

Zayden: Zayden forced re-roll of initiative.

Zayden: [INIT] [d10 = 5]

Howard Plum: [INIT] [d10+10 = 15]

Craigh: [INIT] [d10+10 = 12]

Lanek: [INIT] [d10 = 9]

GM: So now Howard casts detect magic

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): he already rolled it - it might come up error if I roll again

GM: It is good

Shislif (Zayden): Guys see those Firenewts?

GM: and so Howard sees the three pools with fire, no magic in them, but there are three Priests with magic items that glow brightly

LemonyLemon (Daphene): fluffed burnsides!

Howard Plum: whispers, "The three priests here have magic items"

GM: and we are on round one now

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): one hit will stop them casting this round

mharmon1 (Talwin): LIsa at this point, I'm fine leveling this place to the ground. We had two weeks, but I had no idea we were facing anything like this. I'm fine just killing everything

Shislif (Zayden): I dunno!

Shislif (Zayden): murder?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): the hilt isn't metal. Both swords or just one?

GM: Just one

seyfert (Raelynn): but then it'll also be hotter to whoever he slices up, ya?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): or maybe the hilt is metal. never thought about it. it probably is

seyfert (Raelynn): wait how is heat metal not a touch spell??

GM: Sorry not the sword the chain mail

GM: Sorry I will redo that

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can't see the numbers oh nooooo

Indigo's health adjusted by +2

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): you can see on his sheet - wearing leather and carrying chain

GM: Healed Indigo

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): When things are slightly different it causes me internal panic

GM: Now redoing that

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): thx - know better than to wear metal in a swamp :)

Firenewt, Priest (Supple chaps): [DAMAGE] Heat Metal [TYPE: fire (1d4=1)] [d4 = 1]

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): like with a sword though

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): or whateve

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

Master TMO (Craigh): unless you have a better option

springdew (Lanek): if you are disrupting magic, just a pat will do won't it?

Master TMO (Craigh): sharp steel through the cranium may just be effective

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

LemonyLemon (Daphene): How far can I move and still attack? I can try a sling I guess

GM: 60 feet and attack

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): probably 30 ft

seyfert (Raelynn): she has a sling not arrows?

LemonyLemon (Daphene): I don't think I can make it close enough to stab this round, right?

GM: DOH sorry yes 30

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): daphene is a halfling

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): unless she has a movement bonus

LemonyLemon (Daphene): dang, what's the range on a sling?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): so can move 30 ft and then use sling and will be closer for next round

GM: 30 feet

GM: yes to Lisa

springdew (Lanek): i just realized that lanek would not have seen what happened to Zayden because he's really far

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): what was that?

Shislif (Zayden): but zayden yelled out for his eyes

Shislif (Zayden): might have heard him

GM: That was the Pyrotechnics, it goes out to 100 feet

springdew (Lanek): that's fair

GM: so down the line to Licornah before anyone has any cover

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): we didn't get a description of what happened

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Yeah, I'm sorry, what pyrotechnics

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): or I missed it

Effect ['Blinded'] -> [to Bixi Fizzlebang] [by Firenewt, Priest (Supple chaps)]

Effect ['Blinded'] -> [to Howard Plum] [by Firenewt, Priest (Supple chaps)]

springdew (Lanek): as soon as Zayden tried to hide in shadows, a priest hit him with some pyrotechnics

Shislif (Zayden): dick priests

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): yeah thought it was just him

GM: So the Firenewt Priest sprayed out Pyrotechnics at the group as Zayden advanced on him

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Like a firework?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): casters are bad

GM: It is an area of effect spell

Shislif (Zayden): Zayden's always getting hurt btw

LorieD (Licornah): (Think Jubliee from X-Men)

GM: Zayden, Howard, and Bixi are all blinded

GM: Daphene and Talwin avoided it

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Sorry, not well-versed in the x-men

Zayden: oh at least it's n ot just me!

GM: Licornah made her save and blocked it from the rest behind her

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): sigh - our mages are blind

LemonyLemon (Daphene): I want to roll my own saves. My dice are better than yours :P

Master TMO (Craigh): thank you Licornah!

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): I know

GM: chuckles, I am not rolling it is the automatoin

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): don't like automation

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh ducked and hid behind your magnificent bulwark!

GM: and so now Youtargim is up

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): don't want program taking my job

GM: LOL

Shislif (Zayden): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Youtargim: Martial Arts: Combination [d20 = 7]

Youtargim: [DAMAGE (M)] Punch Result:2 [TYPE: bludgeoning (1d0=2)] [d0 = 2]

Youtargim: KNOCK OUT ROLL [TARGET:10] Knockout roll fail! [d100 = 42]

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): did he just tackle the priest? he's covering her icon

seyfert (Raelynn): dang he can move fast

LemonyLemon (Daphene): looks like yes

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): he's going all Tiberius on her

Youtargim: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 9]

GM: So Youtargim RUNS forward and PUNCHES the Firenewt priestess, doing two points of damage, but failing to stop her from casting any spell, and not knocking her out, but he does manage to stay on his feet right in front of her, but she goes first next round and is is touching him currently

[TURN] Craigh - [Punching; BSTR: 0]

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Nice knowing ya, yout

Craigh: Disawareness

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): My number one complaint about this game is the inconsistent use of units of measurement

Craigh: casts Disawareness on himself, so that in a group or other confusing situation, he just sorta blends in and isn't really noticed

Craigh: casts Disawareness on himself, so that in a group or other confusing situation, he just sorta blends in and isn't really noticed

GM: How so Lemon?

[TURN] Firenewt, Priest (Fluffed burnsides) - [(DDR: 1 fire; DDR: -1 cold)]

[TURN] Raelynn - [Punching; BSTR: 0]

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): she goes before Yout but not first - people can still get to her maybe depending on casting range or charging etc

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): sometimes it's feet, sometimes it's yards

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Just PICK ONE

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): lol

seyfert (Raelynn): (one sec)

GM: Ahh, most spells are in feet except really big ones that are in yards to show how expansive of an area they take up

GM: But also remember Bixi is now blind

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, well it's terrible for someone who is really bad at math

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): I know! areas of effect tend to be in feet and spell ranges in yards

GM: so no casting etc

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh, right

Raelynn: [CAST] Hold Animal [at Firenewt, Priest (Supple chaps)]

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): it's still annoying though

Raelynn: [CAST] Hold Person [at Firenewt, Priest (Withered left shoulder)]

seyfert (Raelynn): darn I want to force auto-rolling

GM: Not an animal so the spell fails

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): also probably no running since there is fire and pits around

seyfert (Raelynn): (hold person)

seyfert (Raelynn): (sorry selected wrong spell first time)

GM: OH ok sorry

seyfert (Raelynn): didn't notice until you said that, lol

GM: Which one?

seyfert (Raelynn): both

GM: ok

GM: AOF is that far?

seyfert (Raelynn): lemme see

seyfert (Raelynn): thought it was select not AOE

GM: needs to be more than 40 foot square

seyfert (Raelynn): boo but oh well still cast it

seyfert (Raelynn): aim for whoever Yout attacked

GM: yeah can do on either of them

GM: ok

seyfert (Raelynn): since guessing too far to do both

Raelynn: [CAST] Hold Person [at Firenewt, Priest (Withered left shoulder)]

Firenewt, Priest (Withered left shoulder): [SAVE] vs. Spell [d20 = 1]

Save [1] [Target 16] -> [for Firenewt, Priest (Withered left shoulder)] [vs Raelynn] [TARGET-FAILED]

GM: smiles wanted it to be faster for you to not wait for me to approve

mharmon1 (Talwin): Math now or sometihing haha

GM: grins this is why we love Lemon

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Look, I already failed at the math. I was like, oh, one square equals ten, I can do this math. But actually Daph could have moved twice as far. But she didn't because MATH

Master TMO (Craigh): Disawareness: When this spell is invoked, the caster begins to radiate an aura of unremarkability. Any person viewing him for the duration of the spell sees nothing unusual about him and, if questioned later, retains only vague recollections of seeing someone.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Her British Wit?

springdew (Lanek): i think that was within my move. my mouse got hung up a couple of times

Shislif (Zayden): Lemon is the best!

[TURN] Indigo - [Grabbing; BSTR: 0 | Heat Metal; [D: 7]]

[ROUND 3]

mharmon1 (Talwin): Is that Combat, or we In Round 3

GM: and we pause here

mharmon1 (Talwin): NM

GM: You did two rounds of combat,

GM: you killed three Firenewt priestesses

GM: You have several people blinded

LemonyLemon (Daphene): now comes the scary thing

Master TMO (Craigh): oh, all dead. well then... :) I was prepping to do Craigh's turn and was very confused.

GM: I think this is a good spot to stop and plot

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Before we actively stop, would it be too much to search the Priestesses, or should we hold off)

GM: Not taking you out of combat

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah

GM: so yes you can plan to do that

GM: and when Indigo is up he can go check that, or he can do other things instead

Master TMO: Bob - If you can find one, I think we need some sort of group notepad or some sort of action planner, where people can put the action their character(s) are intending to do, and we can shuffle the order of them.

GM: this the the chance to figure out what you want to do

GM: and next week too

seyfert: ...OOC on the site? ;)

Master TMO: because planning all that in this chat is frustrating as all get out

GM: I can look TMO

mharmon1 (Talwin): I would appreciate that. Order of Ops as pertaining to this Combat Tracker?

seyfert: ahhh you mean during chat

mharmon1 (Talwin): Because I'm almost to the Agile-Scrum Planning Board for organizing this stuff

MadamePsychosis: sometimes I don't know what I'm doing until something happens

mharmon1 (Talwin): EXACTLY!

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol :)

seyfert: same I changed my decision after Yout did his attack

mharmon1 (Talwin): I expected many things, but not a pyramid with priestesses and geysers

mharmon1 (Talwin): Should I have? Probably. Did I? No

Master TMO: no, that's absolutely fine that that happens.

Daphene: Yeah, I changed my plan too. Was going to cast stuff then I got blinded so I "decided" not to

LemonyLemon (Daphene): ooc

Master TMO: but planning-wise, in this chat it's just chaotic

GM: So number one - why are you here,

GM: Number two - what are you trying to do

mharmon1 (Talwin): I just want the damn fire games

GM: Number three - how to do it

springdew (Lanek): okay the emergency at work is over now

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): to get three gems, minimum, four if we can candle it

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): handle

GM: OK so why did you not look for fire gems?

Master TMO: anyways - Craigh's plan was to go to the Fireworms pit while under disawareness while the combat ranged around him and look for gems

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yes, but each of those are High Level topics, that are faced with decomposed issues when faced with reality

seyfert: Okay so.... quick philosophical question: if we kill ALL the priestesses, who turn the gems into viable eggs, will we be committing genocide...?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We were about to and then we got attacked

Licornah: 1) :: points at Talwin 2) :: points out of the swamp 3) :: waves her hands as if casting 4) :: points at Talwin and blinded party members ::

MadamePsychosis: if gems are here and we can grab and go we probably won't be getting all the priestesses

GM: My point is you knew you wanted to go into the heat to get the Fire Gems, you started to plan that, then you stopped and decided to go forward instead

GM: so we are pausing so you can/are forced to/ plan out your next steps

springdew (Lanek): i thought as soon as we perceived priests we attacked them in pre-defense

MadamePsychosis: the heat was forward

GM: and next week we put those in motion

Talwin: Look bob. It's easy to say, why didn't you look. Where would we have looked bob? Did you want me to jump into a Hole in the ground I know nothing about? The pyramid? The Fire? No we did go to the Fire Bob. THAT is when the Priestesses where ambushing Us. We did EXACTLY what we intended

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm sorry, what. I thought we were "going forward" as in "going into the fire box"

seyfert: so the pit?

seyfert: baked them in the earth?

Master TMO: wasn't it Howard's Detect Magic that kicked off the combat? scouting before going to the pit?

MadamePsychosis: and howard casting detect magic did not bring him in front of the lead people

seyfert: yes very confused on what's being implied here

GM: I do not understand why you are thinking about the Pit

seyfert: because I am confused

GM: Yes it is part of the ecosystem

springdew: i am confused in general

mharmon1 (Talwin): IT"S not just he Pit Bob. I'm not Omnicient. I don't know ANYTHING about this place

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I do not understand why you are thinking we aren't looking for the gems

GM: but you were told the fire gems are in the fire,

GM: Lisa reminded that earlier

mharmon1 (Talwin): I don't know how to plan somethikng that I know literally nothing about

mharmon1 (Talwin): And We DID go right to the fire

GM: nothing about a pit, about a stream, etc.

springdew: we looked around for some fire and i think we found some

Master TMO: and that's where we wer going, and then the priests attacked and init was rolled

seyfert: ...and we went towards those until we got attacked

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah

GM: that is my point,

mharmon1 (Talwin): We had to explore the map first. We dind't even SEE The fire until we GOT there

seyfert: so your word is not clearing up any confusion

springdew: right, i think we are on the same page so far

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): creating more

springdew: walk past everything until finding some fire

GM: you saw the fire, knew that was where you wanted to go, started to plan for what to do,..... then ignored it and just moved forward right up to 15 feet away from it

mharmon1 (Talwin): Wait wait wait

mharmon1 (Talwin): No we did not

springdew: that second part does not sound right

mharmon1 (Talwin): We waited for everyone to speak, then Talwin DID go right up to the Fire. Then Lisa said Howard could detect Magic. So I held off

GM: Yes you did, Lisa described what you saw of the three types of fire when you were still 100 feet away

mharmon1 (Talwin): Howard Casts Magic, and then Combat started

mharmon1 (Talwin): WHAT THE FUDGE

GM: Then you moved forward again

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): we saw the fire, knew that was where we wanted to go, started to plan for what to do, then got attacked

GM: right up to it

Master TMO: Bob is talking farther back

GM: THEN you cast detect etc

mharmon1 (Talwin): Look, I need to log for tonight. I'm loving you all, but I'm out. I'm confused, and pretty frustrated.

Master TMO: where Craigh is now

'mharmon1' disconnected

MadamePsychosis: what I'm not sure about is does it matter?

MadamePsychosis: we came we saw we killed newts

GM: Craigh is still right with the group at the end of round two

MadamePsychosis: now we are alone at the fire for the moment

Master TMO: I just moved him on the map as a pointer

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't see why that's bad. It doesn't hurt to get a closer look to see if we can tell if they're in that particular fire?

MadamePsychosis: not a pretty plan but it is what it is

GM: The part that matters Lisa is you are alone for round three now, this is the second time you have had a chance to plan how to deal with fire and getting the gems

LemonyLemon: I mean, obviously it does hurt

Master TMO: and honestly, I personally was looking at the temple, not the fires. an oversight on my part

LemonyLemon: But it's reasonable

GM: Very true Lemon, that is EXACTLY what I thought you were going to do

LemonyLemon: As far as I know, that's what we were doing

GM: Oh there is fire, we are looking for fire, we should get ready to go look in the fire, then move up to the fire and look inside

springdew: yup

LemonyLemon: Then we paused to check and make sure we weren't going to die first

LemonyLemon: And then we got attacked

GM: instead it was we are looking for fire, we should get ready to look in the fire.. oh look fire lets move now before we get ready

springdew: i thought we got as ready as we could figure out to get

LemonyLemon: Somehow you are seeing it very differently than we are

springdew: howard detecting was part of that, and the two thieves moving into shadows

LemonyLemon: Yeah. That WAS our "getting ready"

Master TMO: Bob is saying we should have had the planning stage back at the last fork, not up when we're beside the fires. I think

GM: Howard detecting is what set off the combat

GM: yes to TMO

LemonyLemon: Yeah, but we're not psychic

GM: you actually WERE planning and saying what spells to use

springdew: oh. i thought we needed his intel

seyfert: ....where we'd still detect magic?

Master TMO: this is also true

GM: then you just ignored it and went forward

LemonyLemon: So we guessed at when we should start doing things

GM: Yes to Lemon

GM: and now you are here at this point

springdew: i keep hearing "ignored" when it looks to me like everyone was paying as much attention as possible

LemonyLemon: We didn't IGNORE it, we just didn't think it was time to use it yet, until we saw up closer what we were dealing with

springdew: so that's kind of hard

Master TMO: I agree with Lemon

GM: Ok

LemonyLemon: Didn't want to waste spells if we were in the totally wrong part of the map and had to backtrack into the pit or something

Shislif (Zayden): hey gang, gotta take care of dinner stuff, see everybody next week!

GM: I get that

GM: have a great night

LorieD: BOB, I agree with Lemon, it's not that we didn't try or we ignored...

Master TMO: bye Shislif

LemonyLemon: And then let everything wear off before we get to the enounter

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight!

Shislif (Zayden): bye :)

GM: I am not saying that

springdew: to be fair - MY attention was split

LorieD: I do think we should have paused before charging into the fire area... I agree with that

LemonyLemon: bye zayden!

LorieD: Good night

LemonyLemon: Well then you should have said something.

springdew: but it looked like everyone else was making a plan and then following the plan

GM: That is the point I was making Lorie

Shislif (Zayden): night :)

'Shislif' disconnected

LorieD: I did speak up :: shrug ::

LorieD: It was clearly a trap

GM: and because that did not happen after these first two rounds, I wanted to pause

LemonyLemon: You mentioned an ambush, and I asked for clarification, and you didn't say anything after that, just cast a spell and then we started going

GM: you know there is a village

GM: you know you made a lot of noise

LorieD: Because people were already charging ahead Lemon... at that point, it didn't matter anymore

seyfert: But we knew Talwin was at the point of charging ahead so we adjusted our plan to that

LemonyLemon: I disagree with that statement

seyfert: Because no person or character gave him good reason to wait, and we were okay with it because something we like charging in

GM: Yes to Carissa, that is a very valid point and you should do what you want

LemonyLemon: Yeah. When there was no further comment after the ambush suggestion, I was like ok, maybe that was a joke I didn't get or something, I guess we keep going

MadamePsychosis: we had 3 possible fire targets - we could see those but no newts. What else were we going to do?

GM: I just want to make sure you had a stopping point here

seyfert: We could have possible sat and watched and observed what they were doing... but that doesn't fit our current party make up.

LemonyLemon: But I was waiting and watching for more info. And you know me, I would have thrown a fit if I wanted to stop and think more lol

LorieD: We knew we were being watched... I thought everyone else got that and when no one else took action, I decided to go along

GM: You now know you have fire pits, dead priestesses, and from the previous information: fire pits for Gems to Eggs, a village of priestesses to guard and inseminate the gems to eggs

MadamePsychosis: I didn't know we were being watched

seyfert: I thought that was an errant comment from Bob because no one gave solid evidence we were being watched

MadamePsychosis: who saw someone?

Master TMO: no, actually I had no indication we were being watched IC. My comment of "we're being followed" was an OOC joke because Lanek had to roll OBS

seyfert: exactly - I missed who actually saw it

seyfert: okay yes errant comment from TMO I mean

LemonyLemon: Yeah, I had no idea either. Definitely not IC.

LorieD: Maybe I misread... but I thought it was stated that someone noticed we were being watched - Lanek I think?

LemonyLemon: Hence my asking for clarification. I thought I missed something, or someone had info that they hadn't shared

Master TMO: if Lanek said that, I totally missed it

springdew: no he didn't

springdew: i thought it was a joke also

LorieD: Okay, maybe I misread then ...

GM: and all of that is good, I just did not want this to go with the "ok on round three we are done, lets skip ahead 3 or 4 rounds as we get ready" when you should understand what else is happening around you

seyfert: which to be fair we're technically on round 2.5 if the remaining characters had anything important to do :P

MadamePsychosis: no I don't want to do that

MadamePsychosis: we're like 20 ft from the temple bldg

MadamePsychosis: grab the loot and get the hell out of here

seyfert: yes please

Master TMO: is this a valid summary, and does it contain all of the *IC* knowledge we have: "We are at the fire pits, slew 3 priests, the combat was at least mildly noisy, there is a village just over the hill"

LemonyLemon: Ok look, Yout triggered an entire giant fortress of bugbears, this is a similar situation, it's just not Yout's fault this time

MadamePsychosis: we can drag the blind people out

GM: Yes and I thought you were stopping back there to get your things together to deal with the fire etc and you charged forward

MadamePsychosis: no clue how long it lasts

seyfert: ahhh such as the skiff and hold to hold the gems and all

GM: Yes to TMO

Master TMO: oh yes, and X number of people are temporarily blinded

Master TMO: I forgot that. what else IC are we missing?

MadamePsychosis: not sure what you wanted us to get together other than oven mitts to grab the gems

GM: and yes to Carissa

seyfert: like Rae warned was in the beginning! oh well, she can just say, "I told you so" from now on

GM: As Carissa points out earlier you talked about Indigo making a skiff, making a stone box etc

LemonyLemon: AGAIN, we weren't sure the eggs were in this particular fire

LemonyLemon: As far as I know, IC, we still aren't sure

MadamePsychosis: true

GM: Yes to Lemon you are not certain yet

Master TMO: I wonder if we can use the hot soup water to cool down the hot fire gems?

seyfert: yeah but this was what Rae was saying that we needed to be certain before we did anything (and then me the player forgot)

LemonyLemon: Why are we going to prepare all that stuff and then end up having to turn around and cart it all into an infinite pit?

seyfert: well hopefully a good fire spell on whoever holds/grabs the gems gets us far enough away to plan better after

LemonyLemon: To me, what we did makes perfect sense still

seyfert: ....fire resist not set them on fire

LemonyLemon: Sucks that it ended the way it did, but the choices still feel reasonable to me

GM: and that is perfectly good Lemon

seyfert: I mean I agree, we were trying to be careful and accidentally set them off

seyfert: IF the detect magic spell hadn't been detected, we likely would have planned for the carrying of the gems

seyfert: but ces la vie or whatever

Master TMO: I think, for me personally at least, the disconnect lies between what I thought when seeing the fires, and what Bob *expected* me to think: I thought "there's fires, the temple with the eggs will be beyond those", and Bob expected me to think "There's the fires holding the eggs!"

MadamePsychosis: if 3 priests were where they were standing, anyone approaching would have set them off

LemonyLemon: Yeah, I was about to cast the fire stuff on Talwin so he could jump in the box and check out. Obviously if they were in there, then we would have been like, ok, let's get the shit ready to cart them out

GM: But if on round three 12 more firenewt priestesses come out I would not want you to complain that I did not give you enough clues that they were here and ready to defend, or if you try to take the gems and you burn off your hand, I do not want to have to listen to "if someone had told us"

MadamePsychosis: didn't need a spell to do that

LemonyLemon: Plus also, yes, I didn't think the eggs would be right out in the open like that

seyfert: Good point so no matter what, we'd have ended up here because we just wanted to investigate

LemonyLemon: I didn't think it would be so easy we could just grab and run

LorieD: I think I thought we'd pause to allow for last prep before engaging ...

springdew: wait what? scrolling up

GM: Fully agree with Carissa, you would be here, but have the protection spells, your way to take the gems out, etc. also

Master TMO: if we had invisibility, a fire protection and invisibility spell would make this an easy (er) heist. But, hindsight. :)

seyfert: Oh we'll complain all right. Just more nicely!

MadamePsychosis: we're like 20 ft from the temple bldg

LemonyLemon: Yeah, but why plan for a heist you don't know is about to happen

seyfert: Talwin already has one protection spell

seyfert: We have limted spells so we're not too far off

LemonyLemon: I fully expected to have to go into the temple and fight stuff off before we found the eggs

seyfert: So Talwin with his spells means we're even more on a time limit which is good because we just wanna cut and run anyways

seyfert: I mean if you wanted a heist, this should be a quest for a thief not Talwin :P

LemonyLemon: Yeah but we still don't even know if that's where the eggs are. IC

seyfert: Also true

LemonyLemon: And until this whole conversation, I didn't know OOC they were in the firebox, honestly

GM: Smiles with Lemon... that is what I am thinking, It was laid out several times, Fire Gems, in the fire pits, then the Priestess inseminated them and makes them Eggs, which then go into the Pyramid to hatch

LemonyLemon: These aren't even fire pits. They're a fire box, fire amoeba, and fire river

GM: chuckles

seyfert: Good thing Lemon ruled out adopting so we don't need to go inside

GM: very true

LemonyLemon: I un-ruled it out after they blinded Bixi

Master TMO: the fault with me is I have had a very hard time engaging for a while now. I wish I knew why and how to fix it. And I apologize for it.

seyfert: ...to adopt and raise your own that may blind you?

LemonyLemon: You're fine TMO

GM: no to TMO

GM: This is a group effort

LemonyLemon: Nah, I'd be a good mom

seyfert: Doesn't mean it won't blind you

LemonyLemon: They'd love me

Master TMO: yeah, but as part of the group I should be helping more than I am. I'm not pulling my weight

LemonyLemon: They'd blind Yout for me

LemonyLemon: Again, you're fine TMO

seyfert: You wrote me a summary so you're good in my book. I'll excuse this past session.

GM: and the key Talwin point of the adventure is to solve it, how to tackle a quest like this to prove he is worthy of having the additional skills/power to lead

Master TMO: but, at least I did get to hide behind Licornah's "magnificent bulwark" :D

LorieD: I'm trying to let Michael own his adventure.

LemonyLemon: And now we've angered a whole Temple and village, so know he'll REALLY be worthy

GM: exactly to Lorie

MadamePsychosis: yes

LorieD: TMO you're doing great...

Master TMO: but I could be *greater*! :D

MadamePsychosis: when you feel it you'll be there. it's ok

GM: I fully agree. I think that TMO is a lot like Barb (only Lorie would know her) who sat at the end of the table, listening and being quiet then offering up the two or three key lines and quotes that kept everyone involved

LorieD: :: smiles and nods ::

LemonyLemon: Anyway, my conclusion is even with hindsight, I think we've all done the best we could with the information we had, and now we just have to spend the week figuring out what we're going to do when the temple and village come running at us

GM: We all appreciate the full group

GM: Everyone has good things to add

GM: Yes to Lemon

LemonyLemon: Hell, if nothing else, I like to keep TMO around in case of math

GM: HAH

Master TMO: hopefully I'll come up with an idea

seyfert: VERY good point

Master TMO: math be good.

seyfert: We cannot math without TMO

LemonyLemon: I mean, Lisa is a pretty good math-er too

GM: a good three point one four

LemonyLemon: But it's TMOs job

seyfert: He is a good... pie?

MadamePsychosis: casters can cantrip or orison a pitcher of water so if we can get the eggs out we should be able to cool them if they can be cooled

Master TMO: lol. I appreciate it, but I wasn't saying all of it needing support or encouragement. :D I'm know I'm participating, but could be doing more, and I'm not sure why I'm not.

seyfert: good question on if we should be cooling them

MadamePsychosis: even a blind caster can make water in front of them

seyfert: probably because you have problems speaking normal english

GM: Bixi sitting on the side of the road,

GM: ALMS ALMS

Master TMO: We have Zayden to make water. No magic needed

GM: water for alms

seyfert: LOL

GM: LOL

GM: After game quote

MadamePsychosis: lol

Master TMO: "How did you cool the gems down?" "He did WHAT???"

seyfert: Here Sword Master, please ignore the ammonia smell. It's sulfer from the pits. Really.

LorieD: ewwwww

LorieD: they can keep those gems

seyfert: *sulfur

GM: See this is why we have a great game

MadamePsychosis: zayden is blind too though not sure I want him randomly peeing all over the place

seyfert: because Zayden pees on things?

Master TMO: someone will have to help him

Master TMO: NOT IT

seyfert: NOT IT"

MadamePsychosis: ditto

GM: This is why you do not log out early Michael

MadamePsychosis: lol

Master TMO: Talwin is nominated

GM: final quote of the night

seyfert: Wow that progressed quickly from feeling up his calves

LorieD: seconded

GM: to see if they read the chat

Master TMO: LOL

LemonyLemon: lolll to the zayden

GM: have a great weekend everyone

seyfert: night all!

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight!!

'seyfert' disconnected
