GM: That is a very good thing Michael

Shislif: back!

Shislif: How do you know it's good? Does it donate to charity regularly?

GM: LOL

Talwin: So I said I would tell the story. In short, everyone said "Oh this is such a barrent piece, we can't really do anything" and I SAID "I came out here to play a game and you all have wasted my time!" and they said, well maybe you should but it! and I said FINE I WILL and now I call it the Drillian Folly. Drillian in honor of bob and my amazing friends, and Folly because holy smokes that property def. needs work. :) and that is the legend. Or rather a quick story. :)

Shislif: :)

Talwin: Also lol

Shislif: lol lol

GM: It is a fun story Michael, you will have to post some pictures of it

LorieD: Okay then

Talwin: LOL. I will haha :)

seyfert: lol

Talwin: As long as everyone doesn't laugh their heads off!

Talwin: :)

GM: Never

GM: Owning land is a very good thing

Master TMO: *mutter* *grumble*

Talwin: They don't make more of it in my opinion

Shislif: It is good, plus you get to vote

mharmon1 (Talwin): Uh

GM: grins with Sharif

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Shislif: :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): I must pay the local lord their due by the annual date

GM: LOL

GM: So I am ready to go

mharmon1 (Talwin): Just checked Discord. Carissa you okay over there? Spring talking about trees snapping?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (but yes also ready)

GM: We left the group in the Inn going to sleep

seyfert: No ice or snow really here. Just really f*ing cold.

seyfert: At least ours ends Sunday

mharmon1 (Talwin): (sorry about that!)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yes, and dropping life changing advice on a poor ranger

GM: before you head out, your boat (not ship) still needs to be paid for too

seyfert: I got heat and electricity so except for when I had to go outside earlier today, I'm good lol

GM: Yes it our cold is over tomorrow

seyfert: I kinda wanted to ask the ranger for any more details about the dragon he mentioned to figure out if it was the same one

seyfert: Meant to do it IC but...

LorieD: ... BOB, it was 87 today, who are you kidding???

GM: Glad to do all those things

'Master TMO' disconnected

GM: grins

GM: see TMO logs off in disgust

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

MadamePsychosis: docking fees?

GM: It is a low of 64 tonight

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ugh. Shut up bob LOL

GM: wry grin

mharmon1 (Talwin): it's -2 tongiht in Utah

GM: I fully understand

GM: the guest room is up

MadamePsychosis: CA is keeping quiet

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

GM: HAH

seyfert: lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): So Carissa, want to spend some time questioning the ranger? There is a solid chance he will be coming with us

Shislif: it's actually quite cold here, it's 62! low of 49!

GM: Smiles with Sharif, see!

MadamePsychosis: beat up on Sharif. Not talking about my weather

seyfert: Well we can find out if he is, but yeah.

Shislif: lol :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well at least you aren't on fire at the moment Lisa :)

seyfert: Just dragon questions for him

seyfert: LOL

'Master TMO' connected

MadamePsychosis: nope. no fires

mharmon1 (Talwin): OK. We can question him a bit. But it might be a good idea to question him during a night encounter if he comes with us :)

GM: and welcome back TMO

seyfert (Raelynn): well you do make me feel better about the cold given we don't deal with fires

Shislif: true, we get earthquekes too

GM: Just wait Carissa, climate change is coming

Shislif: so it's kinda a wash :)

seyfert (Raelynn): This part of NY actually was rated one of the best places to handle climate change

GM: But I keep getting told that earthquakes are no big deal, ;)

seyfert (Raelynn): I think our biggest issue are the hurricanes you keep sending our way

GM: just wait until the Gulf Stream stops

Shislif: true they really aren't, you wake up for a bit then go back to sleep

Shislif: at least until the big one of course

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well there's also a .0001 percent chance of a Nuclear WInter bob. Don't give up hope just yet

GM: chuckles with Sharif

seyfert (Raelynn): Eh, it's fine. We'll all die and you can't care about things when you're dead

GM: and so

mharmon1 (Talwin): Agreed with that lol

GM: bringing this back

GM: it is morning in the Inn

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yep. Sorry

GM: I have no idea for names, as I cannot get to that page on the site... SOB... so I will make them up again

Talwin: Stretches, wishing he was back home

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sorry bob haha

seyfert (Raelynn): I don't remember the inn person's name but the others I do. I thnk.

Ingegerd Grandelius: Good Morning!

Master TMO: I got disconnected while I was fixing dinner

Ingegerd Grandelius: How did you sleep?

Raelynn: Good morning!

Indigo: Good morning!

Raelynn: Always much better than sleeping outside.

Zayden: Good morning Ingegerd!

Talwin: Good Morning! Remarkably well considering the last few nights. Thank you for a lovely nights rest

Ingegerd Grandelius: OH you poor thing, why would you sleep outside?

Indigo: very glad breakfast is not going to be served by the pig slop woman

Ingegerd Grandelius: Did you get in trouble?

Raelynn: It's what adventurers do apparently.

Ingegerd Grandelius: My mother made me sleep outside when I was bad

Raelynn: Me? In trouble? HA!

Ingegerd Grandelius: Good for you!

Ingegerd Grandelius: Make them think you like it so they do not make you do it

Talwin: Er, well I'm sorry to hear that. I'm glad you seem to be doing well now though

Raelynn: What's for breakfast?

Ingegerd Grandelius: Eggs

Zayden: yummy!

Ingegerd Grandelius: They are so cheap

Indigo: Newt eggs?

Indigo: grins

Ingegerd Grandelius: We get lots of them

seyfert (Raelynn): (ha)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Deathclaw Ommelete

Craigh: grunts as he stiffly sits down.

Ingegerd Grandelius: Where are you folks going?

Talwin: Better not to ask I think. I'd love some eggs Ingegerd, thank you

Talwin: Oh!

Talwin: Heading back to our boat

Indigo: Back to Bort's Beach

Ingegerd Grandelius: When I got here this morning I was told to make sure you paid your bill but that you were nice and friendly

Raelynn: And Dryads Lair!

Ingegerd Grandelius: Oh I am sorry

Talwin: Ah, my apologies. I can settle our tab now sir

Ingegerd Grandelius: The city is so dirty

Raelynn: Sorry?

(her)

Talwin: Cocks head in question

Raelynn: Mmm, not all parts of it. But some parts... maybe.

Indigo: With what? You gave the dragon all your gold!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sorry bob

mharmon1 (Talwin): Pretend I said ma'am

seyfert (Raelynn): (thought the dragon only took the dart not the gold and potion)

mharmon1 (Talwin): my bad

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): chat said he gave all the gold he had

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): who needs a website? :)

Ingegerd Grandelius: I fled the City as soon as I could

mharmon1 (Talwin): (but he didn't take it)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (I kept notes)

GM: LOL

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I didn't see he gave it back

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Lost my dart though)

seyfert (Raelynn): (yes that's where I was unclear - didn't think he took it)

seyfert (Raelynn): (and/or that Talwin didn't hand it over yet; Rae was trying to prevent it by mentioning the dart)

Raelynn: I mean... I did, too, but for a different city. And then a different one?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (We still have other gold but I'll leave final call to bob. I wrote I still had it but lost another potion and the dart)

Raelynn: They're all so different, but they have fun parts to them.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): ok - you paying saves party pack funds :)

Ingegerd Grandelius: Are there any good Cities?

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL LISA :)

Raelynn: I think I like Loosend better than Dryads Lair. Dragon Fen still needs... work.

LorieD (Licornah): (Well, do you like Vampires or Liches? If so, we can show you real estate!)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Actually, you all are here because of me, so it actually makes sense)

Raelynn: It's nice, but it's not a giant party like Loosend.

Ingegerd Grandelius: What is a Dragonfen?

Talwin: Defensively

Ingegerd Grandelius: That sounds depressing

Indigo: That's not a city

Talwin: We're making it better Raelynn

Raelynn: Some settlement down in The Mist.

Indigo: I like RiversBend

Talwin: Pretty soon we'll have stone as the castle

Ingegerd Grandelius: How many churches does it have?

Talwin: Proudly

Talwin: One

Raelynn: Well it'd be nice for it to become a city.

Talwin: for now

Raelynn: You have two! An elven one as well.

Howard Plum: Dagon Fen is an estate. Not a settlement!

GM: Actually 5

Raelynn: Er, well it's more a shrine?

Talwin: Slaps head

GM: LOL

Talwin: I'm sorry Raelynn

Raelynn: Oh, details details. Dragon Fen is somewhere people live that is NOT Loosend.

Talwin: Honestly, I've been keeping more track of defensive structures and businesses

Ingegerd Grandelius: Is an Estate better than a City?

Talwin: It will be one day Raelynn

Raelynn: It depends on what you want in life.

Talwin: Again, defensively

Raelynn: I hope so, Talwin!

Raelynn: At least we have a bit of sun there now.

Talwin: Smiles, but worries internally

Talwin: Snorts

Talwin: Snorts

Ingegerd Grandelius: OOOOO, looks at Talwin, I think she just made fun of where you are from

Talwin: Er, yeah. She's good at backhanded compliments

Raelynn: grins

Talwin: That's why we love her

Talwin: Deadpan

Raelynn: I am quite loveable.

Ingegerd Grandelius: My mother was too good with a backhand

Ingegerd Grandelius: Another reason to get out of the City

Talwin: Hm

Talwin: Pnders

Talwin: Poor choice of my words

Raelynn: That sounds more like a family problem than a city problem...

Talwin: I'm sorry that you lived through that

Talwin: Do you run this business?

Ingegerd Grandelius: OH NO, I am just the morning help

Ingegerd Grandelius: this afternoon I will be helping to mend the nets on the docks

Ingegerd Grandelius: I could not run a bsiness

Ingegerd Grandelius: that is for smart people

Talwin: Er

Talwin: You seem intelligent enough to be manning the inn?

Ingegerd Grandelius: This is easy, make a mess of eggs, fry up some sausage, make the people feel nice, make sure to get paid

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Let's take her with us too. I'm feeling charitable today)

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): (also she seems abused)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (I hate that)

Ingegerd Grandelius: It is not complicated like making stew

mharmon1 (Talwin): (No one opposed? Huh)

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol)

Ingegerd Grandelius: I have your bill here

Raelynn: Do you.. often cook?

Ingegerd Grandelius: 200 ... I think this is a c? or is that an S?

Talwin: Nods, takes the bill.

Talwin: Oh dear.

Ingegerd Grandelius: Oh I like frying things

Ingegerd Grandelius: I take the skillet and heat it up hot

Ingegerd Grandelius: then SMASH down with the spatula

Talwin: Leans back slightly

Ingegerd Grandelius: Or you can take the whisk and SMASH SMASH SMASH the eggs

Raelynn: Uh huh...

Raelynn: You... crack the eggs first, right?

Ingegerd Grandelius: You can really beat them into a pulp

Craigh: Bread. Is there bread? And water?

Talwin: Bill forgotten, listening with intent

Ingegerd Grandelius: I think there is bread

Talwin: Curious about this egg smashing

Ingegerd Grandelius: from last night

Ingegerd Grandelius: that is hard

mharmon1 (Talwin): (kinda invested in this story for some reason)

Ingegerd Grandelius: I can do the rising

Ingegerd Grandelius: you let it sit in the sun

Ingegerd Grandelius: it grows

Ingegerd Grandelius: then you PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH it down

Ingegerd Grandelius: the you let it rise again

Ingegerd Grandelius: and then you SLAP SLAP SLAP

Ingegerd Grandelius: and you fold it into balls

Raelynn: You, um, you really have a great... storytelling ability? Very... handsy.

Ingegerd Grandelius: then you take the ball and SQUEEZE them

Ingegerd Grandelius: and make them really tight

Craigh: Great. Sounds wonderful. I'm just going to go get some rations.

Talwin: Bixi? Is this how bread is made?

Talwin: Side-eyes Craigh

Craigh: gets up from his chair and stiffly walks back to their gear.

Raelynn: Bixi wanted to sleep in this morning.

Talwin: Bring me one?

Craigh: nods.

Ingegerd Grandelius: Then you toss them in the oven and they bake up nice and fluffy

Raelynn: I think her legs were really tired from running yesterday.

Talwin: Fluffy?

Talwin: Er, can we take loaf to see?

Talwin: I have yet to see an inn that could make them fluffy.

Ingegerd Grandelius: hands the group their platter of scrambled eggs and flattened sausages

Indigo: Thank you!

Ingegerd Grandelius: Well I need to go SQUEEZE the balls first

Talwin: Thank you!

Ingegerd Grandelius: so they can bake them later

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

Indigo: fills his plate with eggs and smashed sausages

Goes to the back room

Youtargim: quietly, wow

Zayden: yummy!

Zayden: I like how flat these sausages are Ingegerd!

Talwin: oh my gods

Indigo: She smashed the sausages too!

Indigo: She must like smashing things

Talwin: Does the estate have a cook?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Whispers

Raelynn: Well, um, it'll be filling?

Craigh: comes back with a few trail rations and sets them on the table for anyone that wants some, keeping one for himself.

GM: OH MY GOD MICHAEL

Indigo: The whole estate?

mharmon1 (Talwin): What what?

GM: Jilly will break many spoons over Talwin's head

Indigo: Jilly oversees the cook at the manor

mharmon1 (Talwin): What did I say?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sigh

seyfert (Raelynn): it was nice knowing him

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean to be more like a Sous Chef

mharmon1 (Talwin): Jilly is irreplaceable

Indigo: The estate is made up of a bunch of villages and farms. There is no cook for the whole estate!

Talwin: I mean the Protectorate itself

Talwin: Jilly can be everywhere!

Talwin: Look at this breakfast!

Talwin: Did you try this sausage???

GM: and laughs with Carissa that is so cute, that Jilly does not try to teach every single cook in the Estate

Talwin: I have never seen it flatterned!

Indigo: That's the protectorate that is filled with gnome villages and the governer and all

Talwin: It tastes amazing!

Indigo: Not one cook there for everyone either

Talwin: And me and the small keep

Talwin: I'm going to ask

Raelynn: I'm looking forward to a salad this evening...

Indigo: Ask who?

Talwin: But seriously, is this a C or an S

Talwin: on the bill

Talwin: How much do we owe here?

GM: S

Indigo: It has to be copper

Talwin: But I think the gods mean Silver

Talwin: For some odd insight

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): 5gp then?

GM: yeap

Raelynn: Is that normal rate for a place like... this?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean...with breakfasts like these....

mharmon1 (Talwin): But yeah, that does sound like alot

Indigo: Two nights and food for a dozen people ...

GM: fishing boats cost 350 gp

Indigo: Ask her if it includes the docking fee

Talwin: souds like a no....

GM: Yes that is the total including docking and your two nights stay

mharmon1 (Talwin): souds like a no....

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): so that makes sense

mharmon1 (Talwin): oh duh. I'm sorry. was very confused for a second

Craigh: I'm going to pass on the sausage. Even in the best places you don't know what the meat is.

Talwin: Stuffing his face

Talwin: seems good to me

GM: Indigo can vouch that it is good food

Indigo: It's good though

Zayden: meat is meat you know

GM: unusually prepared perhaps but it it good

Talwin: Well....

Zayden chomps away

mharmon1 (Talwin): I don't like Horse very much

Talwin: I don't like Horse very much

Zayden: well we don't want to be rude to our hosts

Talwin: snorts

Zayden: and y ou know, you gotta embrace the culture when you travel

Talwin: Zayden, I think that you could unintentionnaly insult anyone we meet

Raelynn: That's a good outlook, Zayden!

Talwin: And I mean that in the best possible way

Zayden: Thanks Tal!

Zayden eats more sausage

Talwin: Smiles Warmly

Talwin: You are so much fun to be around

Zayden: Not that I intend to insult anybody actually

Zayden: and thanks Rae

Zayden smiles

Talwin: Except your singing while trying to sneak. That one still baffles me

Talwin: Perhaps it baffled our enemies too

GM: Look at MMMMEEEEEE I am so SNEEEEKEEEEEEE

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Raelynn: Maybe he just likes having a theme song while he sneaks?

GM: Exactly!

Talwin: Prepares the fee.

Talwin: Places 1 GP as tip

Zayden: Well it wasn't really clear that we were sneaking Tal

Talwin: (I know we

Zayden: I think maybe we need to work on our communications

GM: While youa re tidying up everything the Ranger comes down for his breakfast

Zayden: like as an after adventure report, for next time

mharmon1 (Talwin): I know we have discussed this before, but 1 GP is MORE then enough as tip right?)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): yes!

Raelynn: Good morning, Bredin!

Shislif (Zayden): Mission impossible theme is a great sneaking song :)

seyfert (Raelynn): (far more than enough)

Youtargim: Looks at Rae, after action reports? We can avoid those right?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (thank you Lisa. I have a hard time conversting USD to CAN)

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

seyfert (Raelynn): (that tip is what? 600 s?)

Raelynn: After action reports?

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): No need. I have written a log

Talwin: No need. I have written a log

Raelynn: Who are we reporting to?

Youtargim: When you raid some ships, you have to report back on what you took, we don't do that right? Indigo never did that before with us

Zayden: Well I guess we could just discuss some time over wine, we don't to develop a report per se

Talwin: What?

Talwin: Why would you do that?

Talwin: Don't you have to report that on our taxes or something?

Raelynn: Well we didn't do any raiding. We just made a friend is all and some trading.

Talwin: ...yeah, what she said

Zayden: hey that ryhmed!

Talwin: Leans to Indigo

Youtargim: From what I have seen Branwyn has zero interest in us reporting back to her every little thing, as long as we are alive and mostly in one piece

Talwin: I need to hire an accountant for what I ower the estate

Talwin: Grumbles

Indigo: Yup

Talwin: Sigh dramatically

Indigo: Huh? to Talwin

Talwin: Do knights get paid?

Raelynn: Well this is Talwin's quest so I don't know why we're report to her.

Zayden: well ok nevermind then, we need to work on our communication, end of report

Raelynn: She probably would be interested as a friend in how it went, but I don't think she cares otherwise?

Talwin: Ugh, the Free Cities taxed everything

Talwin: Mumbles

Youtargim: Well Talwin didn't you have that straight laced super uptight guy at home?

Talwin: depending on the ruling bandit at the time

Raelynn: Oh you mean Sundroop?

Youtargim: You could get him to do your bookkeeping

Indigo: We only need to report to Branwyn if we competely screw something up and it's going to fall on her for some reason

Talwin: I think I'm going to actually hire a person to deal with people. I think I've realized how much I like home...

Raelynn: points to Indigo and nods

Talwin: I might have even learned a thing or two

Youtargim: Thank you Indigo

Talwin: A real heros journey

Raelynn: Don't have Sunny do that. He's not good with people.

Talwin: or something

Youtargim: I report to you that I and the people I care about have survived this mission for Talwin mostly unscathed, and we have picked up one new Ranger for the group

Talwin: Well in that case Indigo, I hope that she is quite pleased with the gift we are bringing back

Talwin: Whsipers

Points to Daph

Talwin: Maybe Youtargim

Raelynn: glances over at Daph stuffing her face

Talwin: glances over

Talwin: watching in wonder

Talwin: We're going to ask if she wants to come with us

Raelynn: whispers, "Wow, she can eat a LOT."

Talwin: Worst case, we give her a hammer

Raelynn: Daph already is.

Talwin: Jilly will love her

Raelynn: It's Bredin you weren't sure about.

Talwin: Right

Talwin: Points to Raelynn

Talwin: Points to Raelynn

Raelynn: Maybe you need more sleep. You've had a stressful few days.

Raelynn: smiles

Talwin: Plenty of time for that later

Indigo: She probably won't come

Talwin: Sighs

Indigo: She lives here, It's her home

Talwin: Probably not

Raelynn: OH! You mean the cook?

Talwin: But I'd leave if I was backhanded quite often

Talwin: YES!

Raelynn: Oh, sorry. Maybe I'm the one who needs more sleep.

Talwin: Smiles

Talwin: Honestly, after we return to Alexandria, you will probably have a good amount of time to sleep

Talwin: and maybe relax if we are lucky

Talwin: before returning

Raelynn: Well I still need to visit my mother before we head back.

Talwin: Nods

Raelynn: No better place to sleep than home!

mharmon1 (Talwin): (are we still towing a ship or large boat? I forget at the moment)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (we selling that or keeping it to rent it or something?)

Bredin: Comes down the stairs, slowly, one step at a time

Talwin: Morning! Have some Sausage

seyfert (Raelynn): (I believe it's the boat which we took here to the swamps so we have both the knarr and boat)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): we took the small boat to get here. The ship is docked at Bort's Beach

mharmon1 (Talwin): Gotcha. One we own, the other we don't

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): The dead cow or whatever this boat was called

Talwin: Right

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not dark at all

Talwin: Not dark at all

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): posession is 100% of the law

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): that boat is ours now

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): we can't take it all the way back though :)

seyfert (Raelynn): Moc

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): sure why not?

'springdew' connected

mharmon1 (Talwin): Might as well rent it out where we depositied the funds from earlier

GM: Technically you have the Buttercup which you bought on lease, when you return it to Loosend, you now have this fishing boat you captured and have been using the last couple of days

seyfert (Raelynn): especially if we click time off for the river portion!

mharmon1 (Talwin): I depositied 200 GP. Maybe we could start a small business there and let it collect cash

GM: You can do what ever you want with the Ship and with the Boat

mharmon1 (Talwin): Am I misunderstanding what a lease is in this world?

mharmon1 (Talwin): We have to give it back right?

seyfert (Raelynn): The ship is leased. The boat we took from pirates.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Okay, just making sure I dind't misunderstand

seyfert (Raelynn): So knarr is to be returned. The fishing boat we keep.

mharmon1 (Talwin): and rent when we get back to....shoot. website is down so I don't recall where I left the funds. Dammit!

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

GM: At Loosend you "leased" a ship, the Buttercup, by Buying it with a promise to pay you the same ammount if you returned it in the same condition

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah. Then let's buy two fishing boats for our fancy business :)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): you took the funds out I thought - that was the 200 gp

mharmon1 (Talwin): real entreuprenuers that I can't spell the right word

Master TMO (Craigh): do we have enough sailors?

mharmon1 (Talwin): NOPE!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Seperate encounter!

Master TMO (Craigh): or are we going to hire some?

GM: LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): I track gold like a goblin

mharmon1 (Talwin): like Scrooge

mharmon1 (Talwin): at least my personal funds LOL

seyfert (Raelynn): lol well it's not a worry now so hopefully the site is back up when it is

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): 200 gp was the fighting pit I thought - where else did you get 200 gp that was not put into communal funds?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): like we got an extra thief

mharmon1 (Talwin): Pretty sure it was a fight

mharmon1 (Talwin): But def going to check now. I def. have two entries for gold collection

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): we are a socialist party

mharmon1 (Talwin): but but! I asked Indigo!

mharmon1 (Talwin): he said it was fine!

mharmon1 (Talwin): but okay

GM: HAH

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): to give talwin an extra 200 gp?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm all for joint accounts in a relationship, but my hobby money is mine dammit!

springdew: hehehehe hi

mharmon1 (Talwin): NO from the enoucnter!

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): what encounter?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sigh

GM: I asked Indigo!!!! Branwyn I promise I asked Indigo! No no fireball, please please please, I promise I asked Indigo ... AHAHAHAHAHAHA

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): Am I misunderstanding what a lease is in this world?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I WILL FIND THIS ENTRY BOB>!

mharmon1 (Talwin): I swear!

mharmon1 (Talwin): I did it so I could start up some businesses outside the protectorate

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): tis fine - then you don't need party pack funds

mharmon1 (Talwin): With taxes for the new empire

GM: It can wait till you get back to Loosend at the earliest for the Buttercup

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not where I can. I hate spending Party money unless absoultely necessary. Hell, I'm unfromfortable with that in real life

GM: But right now you have your one legged ranger coming down the stairs

Talwin: And talwin has shoved a plate of breakfast at him

Shislif (Zayden): what's his other leg?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): thunk thunk thunk

Shislif (Zayden): like a peg leg?

Bredin: Hello, you are still here, I thought you would want an early start

mharmon1 (Talwin): (look I'm super sorry, but my dog is driving me nutty. I need five minutes. I'll catch up in just a second.)

Talwin: We were waiting for you!

Talwin: Also Bixi is tired

Zayden: and good morning to y ou!

Indigo: Breakfast is really good

Zayden: Sausages are yummy

Zayden: Bredin, do you have many children?

Bredin: Ingegerd, Can I have some breakfast please?

Lanek: scarfing up sausage

Bredin: I do not have any children that I know of

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Hi Spring! :)

Zayden: Oh ok, I was just wondering because of your name

Indigo: Morning Lanek!

Raelynn: His name?

Lanek: mhmph

Zayden: Yea you know, like to have and/or make babies?

Bredin: What do you mean about my name?

Bredin: Bredin?

Bredin: OH

Zayden: Yea like Breeding

springdew (Lanek): shaking his head

Bredin: Ahhh, yeah I got it

Lanek: shaking his head

Bredin: heh no one has said that in a long time

Bredin: You got m

Bredin: me

Zayden: Well I try to keep a child's wonder

Zayden smiles

Raelynn: listening to the conversation with confusion

Bredin: It is good

Bredin: I had forgotten that one, has been decades

Zayden: I hope they are fond memories a stirred up

Youtargim: Looks at Rae to explain, then decides not to

Bredin: They are memories

Bredin: So you are all off back to whereever you came from I take it

Craigh: That's the hope.

Raelynn: Yes, but I did wonder if you could tell us anything more about Vexaran? I'm curious if we met them or if it was a different dragon.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Back, sorry about that

Bredin: Well there are only so many dragons you can meet and live to tell about I guess

Raelynn: Well true, but you never met them but heard stories, and dragons like to war and all, right? So it could be a different one.

Lanek: eating a boiled egg

Craigh: Is there an upper limit to that?

Raelynn: Or maybe a mate. You enver know!

Zayden: dragons mating, can you imagine?!

GM: Lanek is disapointed that they are all scrambled, smashing to bits

Talwin: Leans over to Lanek

mharmon1 (Talwin): What's up?

Bredin: I do NOT want to imagine dragons mating

Talwin: What's up?

Talwin: You don't like Scrambled eggs?

(insert popular song here)

Zayden: You may not want to Bredin, but what it is said, it cannot be unsaid

Raelynn: Well you must know SOMETHING if you've heard the stories about whoever it is who lives in the swamps.

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

Zayden: Rae I'll tell you everything I know!

Raelynn: whispers to Zayden, "Which is why sometimes it should be left UNSAID."

Bredin: Smiles, I can say that she is an old fierce dragon

Lanek: shrugs to Talwin

mharmon1 (Talwin): IT IS A SHE!

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Zayden: whispers to Rae: I've always struggled with that

seyfert (Raelynn): (if it's the same dragon, lol)

Bredin: Who likes to talk to people until she gets bored and then burns them alive

Lanek: boiled eggs are here, that's what i'm eatin

Raelynn: (to Zayden) I know, but it's okay. We'll work on it.

Talwin: Gods above and below. Glad we entertained her

Talwin: Grumbles

Raelynn: Hmm, maybe it really was Vex then.

Raelynn: Have you heard any other names for her?

Indigo: Good thing we aren't boring

springdew (Lanek): oh i missed the part about scrambled, sorry.

Talwin: She also likes to pretend to be a small dragoneete before dropping the illusion and becoming a massive scary sonofabitch

Zayden Humbly nods his head to Rae

mharmon1 (Talwin): (guess on scrambled Spring :) )

mharmon1 (Talwin): (What smashed eggs are right??? :) )

Raelynn: Or has she only ever been known as Vexaran?

Shislif (Zayden): or over-well done

Bredin: I imagine she has lots of names

springdew (Lanek): i don't GAF. lanek is eating whatever eggs are available haha

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Oh I know that struggle Zayden)

Raelynn: How do you know Vexaran is her name, then? Or is that what someone named her?

Shislif (Zayden): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): When in doubt, scramble them add cheese and pretend you intended it the whole time

seyfert (Raelynn): now I'm hungry for scrambled eggs and cheese

Shislif (Zayden): that is the genius of eggs!

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

springdew (Lanek): i figured, being inn food, it'd be something easy to eat with your hands

Bredin: I think that she has always been there

Talwin: She was massive, so yes, I'd imagine that she has been there a very long time

Raelynn: Hmm, you don't really know much about her, do you?

Talwin: A queen of the swamp as a recall

Talwin: *I

Bredin: I have only seen her twice

Raelynn: You have seen her??

Talwin: I thought you HADN"T seen her?

Talwin: You said yesterday you'd not yet seen her!

Raelynn: How did you survive? When did you see her??

Talwin: Which is it man?

Bredin: Once while I was running away from some lizard men, she ate a dozen or more of them

Bredin: and then another time there was a shadow flying overhead

Raelynn: But you didn't tell us earlier.

Bredin: Why would I want to worry you about a dragon you were not going to see?

Talwin: Bangs forehead on the bar softly twice

Raelynn: sighs

Raelynn: What's done is done, I suppose.

Bredin: I am glad for you

Raelynn: I feel like you can't tell me anything more I'd like to hear about her, though, if those were your only encounters.

Craigh: We ready to go yet?

Indigo: I am!

Talwin: Er, one sec?

Bredin: I have no understanding of her

Zayden: I'm good to go Craigh!

Talwin: Rolls eyes

Zayden: wait did we have coffee?

Talwin: Go ahead get a start

Talwin: I will bring you one to go

Bredin: Just another looming danger in the swamps

Zayden: A coffee?

Raelynn: We don't have whatever that is here, Zayden. Unless you want tea?

Talwin: What else? It's what you asked for!

Zayden: I mean if there's no coffee I'll take some tea sure

Talwin: Rolls eyes

Zayden: The key to fun travelling, Rae, don't get too stuck in our preferences

Talwin: Got it

Zayden: Hey Tal your eyes ok there buddy?

Raelynn: I can go wake Bixi if we're ready to go. And Bredin, if you ever see her again, and survive, please tell her I said hello!

Zayden: But I guess we can get going if everybody is ready to go

Talwin: At the moment...no. Get on going, we'll be right there

Bredin: Tell who?

Bredin: The dragon?

Bredin: I would not survive actually meeting her

Talwin: Sigh

Zayden: I feel like we could get along with dragons, if we really tried

Talwin: Look Bredin. I know this is a lot, but are you coming with us or not? If no, we wish you the best in life

Talwin: This is kind of the last chance

Raelynn: Yes! She was quite lovely. I wish I could send her more lotion, but I need time to make it and I haven't a clue how to get it to her.

Bredin: Hidden Dragons are not that easy to get along with

Indigo: Yeah Raelynn is having trouble understanding that the huge red dragon is evil and would likely kill her the next time she saw her

Raelynn: rolls eyes

Zayden: I'm sure the great moisterizer has convinced the dragon that we're not all bad, and maybe worth letting live

Raelynn: Anyways, I'll go wake Bixi. I know what I know.

Talwin: Hey, we've met several Raelynn. I doubt a red dragon has any real sense of friends. We are things to exploit, nothing else

Zayden: Wake her gently

Bredin: Great moister... I think I do not want to know

Talwin: But when I come back, you are welcome to come with

Raelynn: calls behind her, "Then maybe you all need to redefined what friendship means!"

Craigh: Has anyone tried the plain approach? Raelynn, the giant red dragon is evil and will eat you as soon as it gets peckish or bored.

Talwin: Oh and real quick Bredin. Know anything about the innkeep this morning?

Indigo: I guess if Branwyn could be friends with Jennevive then Raelynn could like a dragon ...

seyfert (Raelynn): (exactly!!!!)

Talwin: Eyes Indigo

Talwin: Er...

Talwin: Not sure waht to say

Talwin: I think the wordplay is about the same

Bredin: Ingegerd?

Talwin: Nods

Bredin: She works the mornings here, the docks in the afternoons

Talwin: She's a good cook. Thoguht about brining her with us for Protectorate. She like it here? I won't ask if she prefers it here

Talwin: We'd pay her obviously

Zayden: are we hiring a cook?

Bredin: I cannot imagine why she would not like it here after the abuse her family put her through in the City

Talwin: Then I shall not ask

Talwin: Thank you

Talwin: It did sound like that and I was worried

Zayden: abuse huh? That's terrible

Bredin: So I was thinking

Talwin: But it sounds like she has escaped that

Talwin: Nods. Go on?

Bredin: You said you could take me to the Celestry?

Bredin: to get my leg healed?

Talwin: And then on to the Protectorate, IF that is what you want

Talwin: Otherwise, you can go wherever you wish

Bredin: No no just to get the healing

Talwin: Shrugs

'Master TMO' disconnected

GM: and TMO leaves at that thought

GM: grins

Talwin: We will have to see what they demand for healing your leg, but we can see what we can do

Talwin: We owe you that much

Bredin: I was thinking I might not get another chance to have someone actually get me into the Celestry

Bredin: You think you can do that?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Too bad we don't have that kind of healing at the Protectorate. We gotta start up a research instution and attract talent

Talwin: I can TRY Bredin.

Talwin: It depends on their ask.

Talwin: But I give you my word as a Knight I will TRY

GM: You have one of the only hospitals in Drillian, Spring had Kenna create it

mharmon1 (Talwin): Regrow Limbs????

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): but no priests there that can cast a heal spell

Bredin: Wait you are not sure you can get me into the Celestry?

Howard Plum: I can get you into the Grand Celestry

Talwin: And there you go

Bredin: BLinks at Howard

Howard Plum: I am not sure what they will ask but they will see me if I ask

mharmon1 (Talwin): (good to know Lisa. Thank you. Let's find one :) )

mharmon1 (Talwin): (preferablly one that can Turn Undead)

'Master TMO' connected

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Bredin: You swear you can get me in there?

Talwin: Blinks

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): think you have to be an insanely high level priest - not sure you can attract one to go live in the wastes for you

Talwin: Bredin, we can't control fates, but we can likely gain entrance

Talwin: From there, it's a matter of their demands

Talwin: Oh sorry

Howard Plum: Yes. Ummmm ... I am Kayugan and my family is ... known in Dryads Lair

Talwin: "Charitbale contriubtion"

Talwin: Finger Quotes

Digs into a pocket and hands over a ring to Howard

Howard Plum: What is this?

Bredin: If you can get me into the Celestry that might buy me the healing

Howard Plum: Save that for when we are there.

Talwin: Gods Bredin, let's see waht they ask first.

Bredin: It is a ring, the mage that I stole it from said it was good to stop all undead from touching him

Talwin: Dear God Bredin

Howard Plum: coughs

Talwin: Sigh

Talwin: What do you think Howard? Should we introduce him to Illero?

Lanek: the mage who gifted it to you

Howard Plum: Gifted?

Lanek: you say the "unwittingly" part silently

Talwin: Snort

Howard Plum: Did you kill this mage or just rob him?

Bredin: I say he gave it to me in exchange for the idea that he would make it out of the swamps in one piece

seyfert (Raelynn): (Daphene with her mouth still stuffed full, points to Lanek as if to say, "See? He is a wise old man!")

Lanek: if yer goner be stealin things, you should know how to use pieces of truth to lie about it

Talwin: Sounds familiar

Bredin: and he did not follow directions so he deserved to give it to me

Bredin: I did not kill him

Lanek: see. there ya go

Bredin: I promise

Craigh: Is he dead?

Bredin: swear to .. what god do you like?

Lanek: wait, did ya tell HIM about the dragon?

Bredin: I think he made it out of the swamps in one piece

Bredin: I put him on a raft on the river

Indigo: mutters, The more this guy talks the more I don't like him

Talwin: Well, let me put this clearly so as to not cause any confusion. Steal, borrow, or assume from us when we are trying to help you, and er, well. I wouldn't ask about what we did about the last one

Bredin: No way would I tell him about any dragon

Raelynn: Did he have... two friends with him?

Talwin: Sounds familiar

Talwin: Repeats

Talwin: Repeats

Talwin: Sighs

Lanek: sighs resignedly

Raelynn: Oh, and Bixi says she'll be ready when we go. She wants ever last bit of sleep she can get.

Bredin: He had a whole bunch of people with him

Talwin: Coughs at Indigo's remark

Bredin: but they all died

Talwin: Shakes head. Dear gods

Bredin: That is why he gave me this ring as my birthday present

Talwin: Let's go before I slap someone

Raelynn: Was it actually your birthday?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Stop right there bob

mharmon1 (Talwin): This sounds like a fmialir story

Bredin: He did not know when it was

Licornah: :: is just listening to all this conversation unsure what to say or add, so stays quiet ::

mharmon1 (Talwin): Was it his precious?

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Raelynn: rolls eyes

springdew (Lanek): hehehe

Bredin: I mean I have thought about this all night

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): lots of eyes rolling tonight

Bredin: and I would never be able to get into the Celestry

mharmon1 (Talwin): indeed

Bredin: But if you can get me in there, then I will give you this ring

Bredin: you can test it beforehand

Bredin: I understand that

seyfert (Raelynn): (yup)

Howard Plum: sighs

Talwin: Let me pay our tab and we will go

Howard Plum: We would need an undead to test it on

Talwin: Not like we don't have those in the mists

Talwin: Grumbles

Shislif (Zayden): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Actually, lots of grumbling too lisa :)

Raelynn: Could you identify it? Might be safer than wishing more undead upon us.

Howard Plum: Beacuse Talwin wishes to help you, I will get you into the Celestry, but you will likely need the ring to pay for the spell

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

Bredin: I can do that

Bredin: but then what do I pay you with?

Raelynn: You have time to think of something.

Howard Plum: If you do not steal from us then I would consider it payment enough but that is up to Talwin

Talwin: Don't make me regret this. Please? I'm trying to be a better person. And despite my irritation, you already paid somewhat with that map. Even though I feel...I'm not sure what I feel. I feel I need to pay and we need to go

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: Let me be as clear as possible please

Talwin: Stealing, borrowing, or assuming usually ends with a painful death followed by Chum in the river.

Bredin: I promise not to steal from you Howard

Talwin: Snorts

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): well Howard is safe ...

Raelynn: Well at least you won't steal from one of us.

Talwin: Better make that to all of us Bredin. I hate wordplay

Talwin: Especially after a Dragon

Talwin: Swear it and we'll be on our way

Talwin: Pays Bill

Bredin: I promise not to steal from anyone here

Talwin: GP is for the tip for Innkeep with note wishing her the best and thanking for the wonderful smashed breakfast. The sausage was fantastic

Raelynn: Or anyone we interact with. If you're going to steal, it better be when we're not around.

Raelynn: I don't want to be associated with that.

Talwin: And you better not be caught. I deal with enough shit

Bredin: I just want to get to the Celestry

Raelynn: And you aren't cute like Thistle so I doubt you could get away with it.

Talwin: And with that, we're on our way

Raelynn: Ships ahoy!

Raelynn: Oh, wait. Boats ahoy?

GM: Boats ahoy

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Bob, tab has been paid?)

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

GM: yes to Michael

mharmon1 (Talwin): (KK. Just making sure)

Raelynn: Not sure i'll ever get a hang of this watery life.

GM: all is paid in full the town is happy with you

Talwin: they are???

Zayden: yay lets go!

mharmon1 (Talwin): why?

mharmon1 (Talwin): they are???

seyfert (Raelynn): You gave them a nice tip.

GM: you have given them fair value, you did not cause any troubles,

springdew (Lanek): i guess they get stiffed a lot

mharmon1 (Talwin): (ah, okay)

GM: They would have sold the boat if you did not return, but you did and paid in full

mharmon1 (Talwin): (so hopefully we'll be welcomed back if we ever return)

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): we're taking the injured thief off their hands too

mharmon1 (Talwin): (good lord. Do people not pay people in this world? And Shoot Lisa, didn't thinka bout that :) )

springdew (Lanek): i used to wonder why Western towns even let cowboys come in, given they keep smashing up saloons and setting liveries on fire

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): I think some of that was a bit overstated due to media, but yeah I suppose you are right

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

GM: So you CLICK back to Borts Beach with your fishing boat

mharmon1 (Talwin): I man bob. I love you tonight...

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thank you

Raelynn: I can't wait to eat a nice, refreshing salad for dinner!

Talwin: Let's get underway.

Master TMO (Craigh): probably more than *just a bit* overstated, imo. But boring western life doesn't sell movies or comics or radio plays or tv shows. ;)

Talwin: Nods at Raelynn

Lanek: making yuck face

Image: Dryads Lair Principality med

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL TMO

mharmon1 (Talwin): Didn't want to slap down the dream

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

GM: Double checking on that

springdew (Lanek): oh yeah i was talking solely about movies and TV

GM: You can see on the map there

GM: You can click to Borts Beach, the recomended option, or go straight to the City

mharmon1 (Talwin): The one with the Volikaya River on the West?

GM: and try to navigate that

GM: yes to Michael

mharmon1 (Talwin): Borts Beach

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean, you even recommended it

springdew (Lanek): searching for map

seyfert (Raelynn): (Alexandria or Celestry first?)

GM: Images Dryads Lair Principality

springdew (Lanek): thanks

GM: and Carissa brings us to the key point

GM: This is the OOC portion of the night

mharmon1 (Talwin): Let me change Character to Human then :)

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): the thing is Bredin - we have him longer if we don't drop him off

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): lol Michael

springdew (Lanek): that

Shislif: howdy!

GM: you land at Borts Beach and then Talwin goes to attempt to prove his worth for training

seyfert (Raelynn): True but then we have to make sure we have the gems protected that long. Or we toss them in the room scroll.

GM: or you go to the City and deal with those things

GM: and welcome back Sharif

mharmon1: Right. But I also need Alexandria to confirm they will be safe without heat for the moment

mharmon1: Bob, if the group wants, can we do the City on the way back?

MadamePsychosis: we would have to change from the boat to the ship at Bort's anyway wouldn't we?

seyfert: Ahh true. We don't know if they'll cool off.

GM: There are lots of things tied up into the tangle here, is why I said it will take two sessions to get through

MadamePsychosis: we can't be all crammed in a little boat pulling into DL

seyfert: I was leaning towards Alexandria personally. Bredin is annoying, but we need ot prioritize Talwin over him.

GM: That is why the map Michael

mharmon1: Actually, while I'm training, the group could do the city!

mharmon1: And bring Bredin to steal them blind

GM: IF Talwin gets accepted for training will be weeks

mharmon1: Right

GM: we click some of those off

Craigh: I can handle getting Bredin to the Celestry if you want.

GM: the City things will take time,

mharmon1: But it might take "weeks" to do the City

GM: plus all the other things

Master TMO (Craigh): (wait, my bad, we're not at the city -sorry)

mharmon1: I'd even setup another temp character to help in the City

GM: Lisa has a good point, Carissa points to the TEAM

GM: no need for that Michael

mharmon1: I just don't want everyone bored :(

seyfert: We have things to do no worres

seyfert: But again, we came here for Talwin.

GM: I have a place to take notes here

mharmon1: Yeah, but no reason not to make some gold for the Communist regime

GM: to make sure that everyone gets what they should

mharmon1: :)

GM: LOL

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: Quote

GM: That is syindipity

seyfert: lol

MadamePsychosis: serendipity????

seyfert: shhh he's clearly drunk

mharmon1: lol

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: HAH

GM: I was just thinking how/if someone could create an extension for spell check

LorieD (Licornah): (link it to the F7)

GM: I am so used to just typing and then fixing before enter

Shislif: bio break brb :)

mharmon1: why not go in the game?

mharmon1: :)

MadamePsychosis: if the npc will behave I'm all for taking care of Talwin first

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh can wrangle him if you want. ;)

GM: Your captive Ranger will behave

GM: and your hungry Ranger will eat

mharmon1: I'm sure

mharmon1: People generally do

seyfert: lol

mharmon1: Oh and I know it's not for a while, but I have a 24 font Bolded remember to give hungry mermaids the barrel of ale

MadamePsychosis: we did that when we left RB

MadamePsychosis: I thought

mharmon1: I know, I'm just paranoid about forgetting

GM: Yes to Lisa

mharmon1: Sorry

mharmon1: :)

MadamePsychosis: so you're good

mharmon1: Hey, I got notes back from 2016 for stuff I forgot to do

Shislif: back!

mharmon1: :)

MadamePsychosis: so to bort's beach then?

mharmon1: oh god. 2016? I gotta check that date

GM: (POLL)

mharmon1: 7 years?

springdew (Lanek): hahahaha

GM: Borts Beach is a check

mharmon1: Majority

GM: and the majority votes for Beach

mharmon1: Hugs to anyone who doesn't

mharmon1: I do like that system

LorieD (Licornah): (I do not care... I feel very lost, but please keep moving)

Shislif: 2nd!

mharmon1: Sorr y Lorie, can I help at all?

LorieD (Licornah): (Nope... you all know what is what, that's what matters)

mharmon1: Yeah, but we love you too :)

GM: So everyone is back at Borts Beach in the fishing boat, the Buttercup is still there safe and sound

Shislif: is Borts Beach a resort area?

mharmon1: Although we have a docking fee i"m sure

GM: Pastes a link to the fine writing about Borts Beach, the history and the new town... sighs

seyfert: {imaginary link}

GM: thank you

Master TMO (Craigh): lol

springdew: hehehe

GM: You have no idea

Shislif: lol

GM: Feels like it has been down a month

GM: has been just over 48 hours

seyfert: not that you're counting or anything

GM: nope

mharmon1: (let me know when I need to setup a website)

GM: Or checking the help ticket system

GM: I have it Michael, but thank you very much

GM: the website is good, the server lost the connection to the server the Wiki is on

LorieD (Licornah): (Someone needs to feed the gerbils better...)

GM: a 500 error so nothing we can fix on our end

GM: All the files are still there, just not connected

seyfert: Have you tried turning it off and on again?

LorieD (Licornah): (Have you tried sacrificing a stuffed monkey)

mharmon1: LOL

GM: A Small Orange is the hosting company

mharmon1: Sorry, i can setup whatever you need. I know it's not the website

GM: I just paid the renewal fee two days before this happened

GM: SO

GM: back to the moment

mharmon1: negative 81? are you sure carissa?

mharmon1: Oh sorry, meant for Discord

mharmon1: Sigh

GM: The presumption is everyone is going with Talwin to talk about proving he is worthy of training

seyfert: At Whiteface, yup.

LorieD (Licornah): (I confirm her weather report, it was also on the Pittsburgh weather as a "holy bananas" thing)

MadamePsychosis: do thermometers even go that low? :)

Shislif: sounds good

mharmon1: (so, you die if you go out for five minutes)

mharmon1: even in heavy weather gear

LorieD (Licornah): (there's a town farther north in the negative hundred'ish)

seyfert: Pretty much, yup!

seyfert: Mount Washington in NH hit -105F

MadamePsychosis: that is insane

mharmon1: not sure engines would start in that. Day After Tomorrow freezing in cars

seyfert: Literal record breaking. Fun times.

LorieD (Licornah): ... so we escort Talwin, he's deemed worthy-ish, we twiddle our thumbs and do whatever for weeks?

GM: so OOC ideas and helpful hints for Talwin

seyfert: We see if we get that nice EXP and hopefully some levels for some of us

seyfert: Be nice?

mharmon1: And be Respectful

mharmon1: Alexandria seemed nice enough

Master TMO (Craigh): Zen

mharmon1: And we followed instructions

LorieD (Licornah): (Don't mention Brawyn or the Dragonslayers... don't mention the dragon... don't mention anything about your past... in fact, maybe don't talk)

seyfert: Yes! And hide your sword. Maybe if you "forget it" at the inn she won't want you to destroy it.

GM: and yes and no to Lorie, if he starts training then we pause as I update everyone's XP (I was distracted by other things this week) and then anyone else who needs training also can arrange that

GM: and the City visit

mharmon1: LOL Lorie

GM: and we go CLICK

mharmon1: Talwin will be honest, becase taht's what he generally does

mharmon1: I won't say all the time :)

seyfert: lol

mharmon1: But mostly he tries to not lie. Saves a lot of time and heartache later

LorieD (Licornah): (take a vow of silence... )

mharmon1: LOL

mharmon1: The game would get interesting quickly

mharmon1: in a bad way

mharmon1: LOL

Master TMO (Craigh): Lying is fun

seyfert: Stop you from being eaten by a dragon

seyfert: The honesty thing. Not the lying one.

MadamePsychosis: not bringing his sword to sword training - lol

springdew: hahaha

mharmon1: I kind of want to roll my eyes in real life haha

LorieD (Licornah): (Don't you have a sword of someting in that bag we call a party pack... the talking sword should take a vow of silence too...)

seyfert: it's okay, I offered Lemon N'laeas sword if Reven dies

mharmon1: So, bringing the Gems to Alexandria, asking how to keep to remaining ones safe, and then begin training.

GM: smiles

seyfert: Oooh and Lemon isn't here so Reven IS taking a vow of silence right now!

mharmon1: Assuming she is good with me

GM: coughs

mharmon1: LOL

mharmon1: He's sulking for the moment

mharmon1: He'll be back to his violent self any day

mharmon1: (Does anyone read our interactions? They get crazy)

mharmon1: lol

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): If you had just killed that Ranger in the first place none of this would have happened

mharmon1: NOPE

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): yes - why we think sword is evil

mharmon1: If it isn't Lemon, didn't happen!

mharmon1: It IS Eveil

LorieD (Licornah): (I think the sword is CN)

mharmon1: But Lawful Evil

mharmon1: Like Jennivieve

mharmon1: :)

LorieD (Licornah): (That, sir, is not a Lawful anything)

GM: She is CE

mharmon1: Choatic Evil?

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): Jenn is chaotic evil

seyfert: Don't worry, I ratted him out

mharmon1: Well it's evil something, who cares! :)

mharmon1: As long as I keep feeding it death and destruction he seems happy

GM: LOL

mharmon1: Perfectly normal relationship

mharmon1: I swear

seyfert: lol

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): glad we all agree - so no pretending sword is good

seyfert: haha

mharmon1: I mean, Talwin can be delusional

mharmon1: It's fine

Shislif: lol

mharmon1: Everythign is fine

GM: So the group has agreed to accompany Talwin to visit his potential new master

Licornah: (Nope... that sword should be parted with its soul)

seyfert: Talwin can think the sword isn't evil just like Rae can think she's now BFFs with a dragon

GM: any last words before we click to that meeting?

mharmon1: Deal!

springdew: [TOWER] [d100 = 68]

GM: Yes to Spring? what was that for?

mharmon1: Carissa said it first!

Master TMO (Craigh): rosebud

Raelynn: LOL

Springity Thingity: fidgeting

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): lol

Springity Thingity: pretend it means CLACK CLACK CLACK

seyfert (Raelynn): the book I'm currently reading the monster makes that exact noise...

GM: [10d100 = 510]

GM: Like that

mharmon1: More information Carissa???

springdew: that was heckin

seyfert (Raelynn): Oooh you rolled a 100! Super critical failure or success??

seyfert (Raelynn): Character was being hunted by as monster. It kept going "Clack clack clack" as it moved. So he knew it was following him. Gotta read more before I know if it's worth recommending, tho

GM: So the group proceeds to Drakeshead

Shislif: is Drakeshead a resort head?

springdew (Lanek): intriguing, Carissa

GM: the only question is the same say and arrive at sunset? or the next day and arrive at Noon

mharmon1: I would say quicker is better bob. only because I don't know the rules on these gems

mharmon1: Don't want to risk it

seyfert (Raelynn): it's a day walk

Howard Plum: Detect Magic

Howard Plum: Magic Missile

GM: half day

Howard Plum: Dimension Door

seyfert (Raelynn): (sorry a day round trip)

mharmon1: (Thank you Howard)

mharmon1: (Are you okay with that?)

seyfert (Raelynn): (so if we arrive at sunset we... stay the night there? walk back in the dark?)

mharmon1: Howard and I can actually jump ahead if you want to stay and relax?

seyfert (Raelynn): I don't remember how dangerous it could or may not be to walk back at night and/or if we can just camp[ there

mharmon1: Seriously, I forget Howard is a badass sometimes.

mharmon1: He's just a little squishy

mharmon1: :)

seyfert (Raelynn): just a teeny tiny bit!

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): huh? I was prepping spells

mharmon1: Yikes I'm sorry Lisa

GM: chuckles with Lisa

mharmon1: I thought you were suggesting we could use Dimension Door to get there quick

mharmon1: I'm sorry

mharmon1: Just Howard and I due to timeing for the Gems

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): oh no - not enough range for that - sorry

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

mharmon1: IAh, I am sorry

mharmon1: Then I would like to take us there ASAP for the Gems sake

Shislif: how do i get backi nto zayden?

Shislif: into

Shislif: back into

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): Records then Characters

Shislif: sweet thx!

seyfert (Raelynn): that's fine we just need to prepare for walking at night or camping there

GM: So the group lands at Borts Beach, and immediately heads out towards Drakeshead

mharmon1: I mean, somewhat safetly bob if possible

Raelynn: Someone owes me an extra salad if we're skipping that tonight!

mharmon1: I don't want someone to fall off that cliff

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You know you can just let me go, give me to that little one, she cannot control me, I can just live forever

User is back. (springdew)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Or that Elf, she looks sweet, no one would suspect her if I was in her hands

springdew (Lanek): so much for vow of silence

GM: walking along the path towards the lighthouse

mharmon1: lol

Indigo: There's lotsa gras around here

mharmon1: I know right!

Indigo: grins

seyfert (Raelynn): Hmm he hasn't gotten the whisper down though so we can't figure out why Michael is arguing with himself

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): grass

mharmon1: I'm out of character!

mharmon1: right now at least!

mharmon1: :)

GM: I thought this was a nice touch for the final moments :)

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

mharmon1: And I do it so the group knows that Talwin actively listens to the sword

springdew (Lanek): not like that sounds ominous or anything

mharmon1: And interacts

mharmon1: It keeps them on their toes :)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Seriously who do you think you are better off without me

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You know that I am good for you

seyfert (Raelynn): and mutters and confirms Rae thinks he's insane, I love it

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You need an excuse to give into your blood lust and just slice that stupid mage in half

LorieD (Licornah): (Good for you like a tumor... )

Raelynn: Grass doesn't make a good salad. Do I look like a cow??

Talwin: Hm, you dont' sound like yourself today. I think you are getting a bit hangry. We need to kill something soon.

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): EXACTLY

Talwin: Shocked

Talwin: NO Raelynn

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I have been saying this all week!

Talwin: Gods

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

Talwin: You are not a Cow?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We need to kill something

Raelynn: Thank you.

springdew (Lanek): oh i have to do some actual work, brb

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): OH OH OH

Raelynn: Then I need a real salad, not grass, when we have a chance.

Talwin: Rolls eyes. Jeeze Reven settle down. We'll get on that eventually

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): THAT IS IT

Talwin: I think Reven is grumpy today

Raelynn: I miss when you weren't muttering to yourself this morning...

Craigh: Swords can get emotional?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We you are so good at this, you can survive, WE kill that stupid centaur

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Then we declare we are the Master

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): and we can stay here

Raelynn: I doubt it's a big emotional range.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Er, yeah settle down there (Even Lemon isn't that evil Good god Bob)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): and have people come to us

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): YES

Raelynn: More like a teaspoon

Indigo: You don't look like a cow but isn't grass like thin lettuce?

Talwin: You do realize that people already come to us right?

Talwin: Stops

Talwin: Horrified look at Indigo

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Well you are right

Raelynn: Ummm, no. Grass is grass and lettuce is nice and crispy and digestible.

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): People already come to us so we can just kill that stupid centaur and go home

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): and people will come to us anyway

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): you are so smart

Talwin: Well....I'm still on your side Raelynn, but can't cows digest lettuce? NOT CALLING YOU A COW, just curious

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): This is why we need to stay together

Talwin: I'm going to stop talking now

Craigh: It's a good skill to learn.

Talwin: Yeah, I think we need some silence Reven. I like when you are in a better mood

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): yes stop talking about grass and cows until the hamburgers are served

Talwin: That doesn'e teven make sense!

Talwin: Shouts

Raelynn: Thank you for clarifying. And they can, but cows have, like, six stomachs or something, and I only have one!

Talwin: Looks around

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Nice rare bloody hamburgers

Talwin: Sorry

Talwin: Reven is irritating me today. Something about Hamburgers

Talwin: He's hangry

Talwin: Gotta be it

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Yes

Raelynn: Can swords eat?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): One of these are not needed

Talwin: Stop talking Reven

Raelynn: Maybe Reven would eat grass.

Talwin: You know your bounds with me

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): the small one? she is not paying attention, we could take her

Talwin: Stops

Talwin: I'm about ready to throw you off the cliff

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): WHy?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): you did not mind my desires before?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): what is wrong?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): You have changed

Raelynn: Throw me off a cliff??

Talwin: Calmly: You know your bounds with me. And you do not sound like yourself. Don't test me Reven

Raelynn: Oh. The sword. Good. Er, maybe. Are you okay, Talwin?

Talwin: (Bob, unless Lemon is okay with this, Reven is about ready to take a dive. Make sure she isn't going to be mad. She doesnt' really take it this far)

seyfert (Raelynn): (Lemon loves Reven, please don't toss thte sword)

GM: warm smile I promise that Lemon will be ok with it

Talwin: Oh! Well in taht Case...

Talwin: Unshethes the Sword, last chance

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): YES

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): DO IT

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I can take them all

Craigh: I'd offer to carry the thing, if it didn't weigh more than me.

Talwin: Sigh

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): WE can take them all

Talwin: Realyl going to miss this sword

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We We We

Raelynn: Oh put that damn thing away. I'm tired, and hungry, and Alexandria is waiting.

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): I mean it

Talwin: Grumbles. I'll never have another one this nice

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We are invincable

Talwin: Bob I hate you. This sword was it's own adventure damn it

Raelynn: Just sheath is, stop touching it, and let's go.

Talwin: I'm sorry Reven, I think i'm tired of you. Maybe a few decades in the ocean will clear your head

Raelynn: If it's like that weird sword Kel has, you can just... let go of it.

Zayden: heard that before

Zayden smiles

Talwin: Tear on his face

Raelynn: TALWIN.

Talwin: Tosses it in the Ocean

Talwin: Sighs

Talwin: Don't talk to me right now

Talwin: Continues walking

GM: Michael you need a sword

GM: This sword

Talwin: I have a second one

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): but but you don't have a sword for training then

Talwin: ?

GM: yes to whoever put that up

Raelynn: No.

Talwin: Uh, I warned everyone?

Talwin: You said she was fine with it?

seyfert: I'm hitting stop.

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): you melted your broadword

Talwin: I have a second two handed

seyfert: Reven is part of your character BUT ALSO LEMON'S CHARACTER.

seyfert: I am not good with tossing another person's character like that.

Talwin: BOB JUST SAID SHE WAS OIKAY WITH IT. WHICH IS IT GUYS?

Craigh: He did warn everyone.

seyfert: Bob needed to clarify that.

Master TMO (Craigh): Was no one reading that?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): you haven't even seen alexandria yet

User is back. (springdew)

Talwin: I figured she didn't want to play him anymore

seyfert: I honestly thought Bob would stop it earlier.

Talwin: I wanred this was going to be going far

Zayden: hmm ethical issues

Talwin: Which is it

seyfert: Lemon really enjoys playing Reven.

Talwin: Reven knows my bounds

Talwin: I need to know right now

seyfert: And if she isn't here we cannot decide that for her,.

Talwin: NO, NO, No, NO. The last time someone wasn't here, I almost left the game. I NEED TO KNOW RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, which it is

Talwin: NOW

Talwin: I'm deadly fucking serious

Zayden: whoa language Tal

seyfert: It is doubly unfair if it wasn't her talking. So Bob. We need to take that Bob. Sword is not in the ocean.

seyfert: *take that back

Talwin: Sorry Zayden

Master TMO (Craigh): probably need to just stop the Reven action for a bit

GM: I am in agreement with Carissa the sword is still there in Talwin's hands

mharmon1 (Talwin): This predates you and I'm sorry

mharmon1 (Talwin): language was bad and I apologize

'LemonyLemon' connected

mharmon1 (Talwin): I just have deep feelings on this. Didn't mean to make you uncomfortable

seyfert: It's okay

Shislif (Zayden): Lol no worries sorry for being a prude!

seyfert: (for my end I understand, not speaking for Sharif)

GM: 100% this is a key point in the campaign

LemonyLemon: PERSONAL HOTSPOT

seyfert: SHE IS SUMMONED

Master TMO (Craigh): HAHAH

LorieD (Licornah): (I'm confused this is YOU angry or your character ANGRY or both? )

Shislif (Zayden): I just like to be the guy that says "whoa language" when cursing comes up, kinda my thing :)

Indigo: I was reading it as bob messing with you but nothing was going to be decided or happening until you got to trainer

GM: The group of characters is approaching Drakeshead... and where Talwin will meet with Alexandria, one of the top two handed sword people in the world.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Look guys. Everyone gives me a hard time about Reven. I figured this was a legit story point. I feel a bit uncomfrotable about this now

Shislif (Zayden): you good bud nothing to feel bad about we all cool :)

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

Master TMO (Craigh): Michael - you gave warning.

seyfert: Hey, no worries. Do what you need if you need to take a minute, but it was confusing and we needed to clarify it and we are good now, I think.

mharmon1 (Talwin): And sorry Lemon. Not sure if this predates you either

seyfert: Yes, you did give warning. And when it wasn't stopped, I hit the button.

Zayden: seems like that was a good call

seyfert: Because I didn't want you to keep going until we all knew exactly what you planned to do.

Shislif (Zayden): OOC

mharmon1 (Talwin): Okay. So the sword is still here. I'd very much like this to stop for now

seyfert: Works fo rme

GM: yes to Michael, this is a very key story point, bend in the Arc

LorieD (Licornah): (So we are stopping for the evening? )

mharmon1 (Talwin): (no, just the sword talk please)

LemonyLemon: No way, I just got here

seyfert: So just Bob sword talk?

Shislif (Zayden): twist!

mharmon1 (Talwin): (I'm really uncomfortable about the sword at the moment. Yes)

LemonyLemon: I don't see how this could be the arc! I found the sword!

seyfert: Ok so the Lemon sword talk as well until you're good again?

LemonyLemon: You didn't know I was going to find the sword and give it to talwin and that it wouldn't take over his brain!

Master TMO (Craigh): I guess my question is, and it may not be anwered, is what Bob was trying to push Talwin to do? It did seem like he had a goal, and it honestly felt like it was disposing of the sword.

GM: That is amazing Lemon by the way

Talwin: I'm so sorry Lemon, can we not talk with Reven tonight? Please?

LemonyLemon: I don't think it's really up to me, honestly

LemonyLemon: Seems like it's a plot point I can't avoid, since it's not really my character

seyfert: None unless prompted by the story arc?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Fine

Talwin: Let's continue for now and just leave it alone for now

Talwin: Thanks :)

seyfert: Hit one of the buttons if you need to later :)

MadamePsychosis: I am seeing it as just choices that bob makes us face

MadamePsychosis: everyone makes fun of Tiberius - and I have Bran deal with that

MadamePsychosis: she's not dumping him because every other character hates him

MadamePsychosis: same with Jenn

User is back. (springdew)

MadamePsychosis: it's just decisions and choices and those in this case are yours Michael

LemonyLemon: BOB and I have privately discussed the eventual outcome and I am ok with whatever you decide to do with the sword Michael

Talwin: But I also don't feel like everyone constnatly calls them evil, getting worse, and to maybe get rid of him. I just want to drop this please

GM: So my plan for Talwin's training and Mastery. Talwin has a sword, an intelligent sword, that is definately 100% evil because it has been trapped inside of a Giant Sword by the Giants that killed his family and made him into a weapon to kill more people and all he has done is kill people and then he got away from the giants, and into a gnome. But she handed the sword off to a human fighter, who was a good fighter, but was willing to listen to him and help the sword kill more and more and more and YES BLOOD, and now that the human fighter is about to meet his master he is realizing that the sword might not actually be good or controllable for all of his life

Talwin: Hell, even Jennieve wasn't like this unless I'm remebering incorrectly

Talwin: Okay Bob. I understand that. Please for the love of god just drop it tonight. I'm having flashbacks and I am deeply uncomfortable

GM: And OOC and skipping ahead a bit this is why you were tasked with gettign the Fire Gems, so you could help destroy the magical link that keeps this tortured soul inside of the sword and let it go to it's final resting place

seyfert (Raelynn): (we can always do the Celestry tonight if you prefer)

Shislif (Zayden): oh that seems nice

LemonyLemon: Reven DID say he felt imprisoned, to be fair

GM: The person inside the sword was not evil to start but giants using him to kill everything has corupted him

Talwin: Look. I think I'm logging tongith.

Talwin: I'm not sulking, I'm crying

GM: NO Michel

GM: Stay please

GM: I know

LorieD (Licornah): Yeah, I think I'm done for the evening...

GM: Trust me

GM: this is a hard story moment

Licornah: this doesn't feel like an adventure that I can contribute anything to.

LemonyLemon: I just got here!

Licornah: Have a great evening

GM: but this is what growth feels like sometimes

GM: I am sorry Lorie

Talwin: Night Lorie. Thank you for joining tonight :)

LorieD: This whole adventure is supposed to be for one character and it's been nothing but teeth gnashing for weeks

LorieD: I feel like I have nothing to give

Talwin: I'm sorry.

LemonyLemon: I feel like Licornah just wants to talk about home but no one knows it

'LorieD' disconnected

LemonyLemon: She needs something to do lol

GM: Yes to Lemon on that

Raelynn: Many of our adventures are often focused on one character. We're there to support them like we're doing for Michael right now.

Talwin: We'll make the next adventure about Licornah

Talwin: :)

GM: So do you understand better Michael about the sword?

Lanek: i thought the topic was dropped. can we discuss travel logistics

LemonyLemon: Yeah, I mean, Daph has been 100% useless on this adventure, but her personality adds to the story anyway. Licornah is so quiet though, no one has really gotten to know her yet

Talwin: Bob. The sword isn't the problem. It's the irritation of the past catching up with me. Just get us to the damn place

Talwin: please

GM: You are there,

GM: With Alexandria

Talwin: I have the Gems

GM: The sun is setting

Talwin: We have five

Shislif (Zayden): I don't have much to contribute except we always have time for a deep breath or two or three

Talwin: But I would keep two of them for the sake of my companions who risked much for us

springdew (Lanek): i like the breathing

GM: Michael take a deep breath

seyfert (Raelynn): (you contribute a lot of laughter Sharif, don't discount that)

GM: Yes to Carissa about Sharif

GM: Do not rush this just to get through this

GM: This is Talwin's chance to shine

Shislif (Zayden): lol thx :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): No. At the moment, Talwin is being blunt. Respectful but Blunt. He webt through shit to get these things. She can be a little understanding

GM: to talk about his drive, his goals, why he needs this training

Talwin: Bows

Raelynn: squeezes his shoulder and whispers, "You got this, Talwin."

GM: and how he intends to be deserving of training with one of the three people on the planet who can do that for him

Master TMO (Craigh): keyword: diplomacy. ;)

Lanek: whispers "what she said"

Talwin: What do you want from me from here? And, I would respectfully ask how to properly care for these gems. I am unsure if there are special requirements.

Talwin: Respectfully

Talwin: Bows

GM: Michael Talwin is getting into rarified air, higher than Branwyn is at Court, He will be added to that list and be number four

Talwin: I apolgoize for my tone. I have had a long day

Shislif (Zayden): Although I may need to leave a little early tonight for dinner business

Talwin: I apolgoize for my tone. I have had a long day

mharmon1 (Talwin): (We love you Zayden :) )

Shislif (Zayden): I know I'm saying it now, but it's got nothing to do with what just happened, just getting hungry :)

GM: We are honoring Michael's long journey to this point tonight

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Come back if you can :) )

Shislif (Zayden): lol thx :)

Shislif (Zayden): not yet ina bit

Shislif (Zayden): maybe by 8

Master TMO (Craigh): that's a good point Bob - I don't know that I'd realized how prestigious this training was

Looks at the group as they arrive

Master TMO (Craigh): Ii was thinking of it as just another skill

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Talwin is kind of going to say the exact same thing. He can be respectufl, and also blunt. He isn't a diplomat)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (But I will try)

Master TMO (Craigh): A Queen is considering granting your request to join the Royal Court Talwin. :)

Shislif (Zayden): it's like a tough training where they make you givve up your family or something, like The Witcher

LemonyLemon: Yeah, I deeply appreciate Zayden's contributions to the group. Even the pee.

Shislif (Zayden): Tal will prolly come back like a Jedi

mharmon1 (Talwin): (I mean no disrespect, but I'm not sure waht that means :) )

Alexandria: So you decided you want to attempt to prove yourself?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (We can discuss later though)

Talwin: Bows

Shislif (Zayden): lol, lots more pee where that came from :)

Talwin: "We have brought the Gems"

seyfert (Raelynn): ("bio breaks" not pee, only Zayden pees)

GM: LOL

Talwin: "So yes"

MadamePsychosis: lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Master TMO (Craigh): Craigh is willing to help with phrasing if Talwin wants any advice.

seyfert (Raelynn): (Rae can look pretty and persuade when/if needed)

Alexandria: Slight frown, you think the gems are the only thing you need to do to prove your self?

Master TMO (Craigh): He's used to dealing with people remember

Shislif (Zayden): lol I do need some boundaries btwn me and my character :)

Talwin: Shakes head

seyfert (Raelynn): lol Sharif

Talwin: No, I figured it was more of a way to get your attention

Talwin: I'm certain there is more than that

Alexandria: Good

Bixi Fizzlebang: You already questioned his honor last time we were here

Alexandria: Just like there is a feinght and a counter feighnt

Talwin: Nods, a bit more understanding of sword "lingo"

Talwin: A little more confident

Alexandria: You cannot take even the most powerful thrust and force it through platemail

Talwin: Smiles wryly

Alexandria: You need to look for the weakness

Alexandria: at the joints, where things come together

Talwin: Cocks head, interested in this discussion

Alexandria: and see where you can separate the weak from the strong

Alexandria: Where are you weak Talwin?

Talwin: Snorts

Talwin: Waves hand

Talwin: I apologize

Talwin: It seems I am weak in several areas

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Zayden: Oooh, pay attention, this could be good material for the rock opera

Talwin: Lots of room for growth

Talwin: At the moment, relationships

Talwin: However,

Zayden -> Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh yea! For a sec there I forgot about the Rock Opera, great to have you back Bix!

Talwin: I would say most of all is patiently waiting

Bixi Fizzlebang -> Zayden: Yeah, sorry I was gone so long doing... whatever it is I was doing

Talwin: Waiting is not a strong point. Patience is a serious lack in my repetoir

Alexandria: Waiting is good, stagnation is bad

Talwin: Even to my detriment

Talwin: Nods

Zayden -> Bixi Fizzlebang: No worries, we all need time to ourselves...sometimes

Alexandria: Fast Slow and Stall, no Reverse

Talwin: No reverse?

Talwin: Leans in despite himself

Alexandria: You cannot go back and change the past

Talwin: In interest?

Alexandria: Ask your mages

Zayden: they say patience is a form of wisdom

Zayden: They was our Janitor back in Bard school

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm sorry, but Gerry would beg to differ

Alexandria: You need to stand in the Present

Talwin: Ah, a metaphore. I think I see the point

Talwin: Smiles despite himself

Zayden: He was a very wise janitor

Talwin: Tries very hard not to snort again at Zayden

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol zayden

Alexandria: You have an excellent sword in your hands

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Alexandria: I have looked into your past

Alexandria: The priests tell me it is God Touched

Zayden: whoa

Talwin: I think it would beg to differ

Talwin: With saddness

Alexandria: Was your sword always like this?

Talwin: No. It was quite large

Alexandria: Was it more powerful because it was large?

Talwin: It was a gift for servie to make it smaller for my own realistic use

Talwin: Shakes head. I could not weild it with accuracy

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): hey, yeah, why would a god shrink down an evil sword!

Zayden: I bet the ladies said that a lot eh Tal

Talwin: I was a very kind gift

Talwin: And I was honored by it. I respect it every day

Alexandria: And this being inside the sword

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): this whole sword arc is shenanigans. SHENANIGANS!

Talwin: Gaurded

Raelynn: Zayden, shhhh!

Alexandria: The soul

Alexandria: the living embodiment

Zayden: Whispers to Rae: he was inside the sword?

Alexandria: that has been trapped inside of this metal

Alexandria: Is it more powerful than you are?

Talwin: Ponders with Seriousness

Raelynn: whispers back, "Okay, yes, that is funny but I don't think this is the time for that joke!"

Talwin: I do not know.

Talwin: Speaks with Honesty

Alexandria: Yes you do

Zayden: Whispers to Rae: ok thanks that helps Rae

Points to Indigo

Talwin: Shaeks head

Alexandria: Is he more a friend to you than the soul in the sword?

Indigo: looks up

Zayden: Also whispers to Rae: I'm glad you found it funny though (with a smile)

Points to a randome tree

Alexandria: Is that tree more alive than your trapped soul?

Raelynn: smiles back

Master TMO (Craigh): (I missed the 'points to Indigo' and was totally confused as to who she was talking about there. :)

Talwin: Reven is a person, despite his condition. He is deserving of the same respect I give Indigo. Friend or not

Alexandria: Good

Talwin: Slightly disagreeing but remaining respectful

Alexandria: You have learned

Alexandria: So Indigo

looks at him

Alexandria: Tell me, do you want to be encased inside a sword to live for hundreds of years, forced to do what who ever picks you up demands you do?

Indigo: Me? No!

Zayden: not it!

Indigo: I want to die and go to the great banquet

Nods

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ok, the "not it" made me for realsies laugh out loud

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

Alexandria: So Talwin is this soul inside your sword not worthy of going to his great banquet

Master TMO (Craigh): hehe

Talwin: Cocks Head

GM: yes to Lemon and full QUOTE to that

Zayden: banquet sounds pretty nice

seyfert (Raelynn): (and he was getting hangry earlier)

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): WHAT ARE YOU THINING!!

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We are meant to be together

Talwin: May I have a moment to ask? I will not force him to leave. I make no demans of him and I won't force him too

Shislif (Zayden): lol thx lemon!

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): How can you even be here!

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Just slice her open

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): you can take over this camp

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Indigo will be fine with it you know that

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): For the record, bob is still being the sword. but I'm ok with it.

Talwin: Looks to Alexandria

Talwin: Can you hear?

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Why in the world would you even think that you do not know better than that horse!

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Of course we belong together, we can work together and do so many good things, so many bloody, deep thrusting hard things

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We will make this our own lighthouse

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ok ew, i'm not ok with that

seyfert (Raelynn): bad word choice I agree

Shislif (Zayden): kinda sounds like a toxic relationship...

Master TMO (Craigh): it's supposed to I think

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): "phrasing" gif

Talwin: Shrugs

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): She said there were two othes

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We can kill her

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): then there are only two more

Talwin: He seems quite insistent to stay. Violent tendencies not withstanding

Shislif (Zayden): Oh btw in The Witcher they forced the kids to leave their families if they're gonna be a Witcher, and they don't get a choice, from earlier

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): then WE will be the bst in the world

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): It will be a great quest

Talwin: Ignores Reven for now

Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): you want to go on that you know you do

Zayden: A sword can't thrust itself

Talwin: I think there is a lot of suffering there

Talwin: And I think that he had been wronged

Zayden: I think you're right Tal

Talwin: Forcing him to do something else is not something I have in mind

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok but just because your partner has some trauma and went through some stuff doesn't mean you have to stay in the toxic relationship...

Talwin: As long as he does not stray from the bounds he clearly knows I have, I am not comfortable treating a living thing, pardon, sould like this

Talwin: (getting to that Lemon)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Lol

Talwin: I am almost certain you can hear this conversation

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, I don't want to argue in favor of destroying the sword, but I DO want to make sure you're living your best life and not trapped in a toxic relationship lol

Talwin: Do you think he is not in his right mind?

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): yes - lol

Zayden: One could say Hate is on the opposite side of the spectrum of Love, that he could only hate because he once loved

Alexandria: You just heard your friends violently refuse to take the place of the soul inside that sword

Daphene: That's beautiful, bard.

seyfert (Raelynn): yup

Zayden: I wouldn't say violently

Craigh: There's a phrase I've heard before. "Cry for the puppy it used to be, but deal with the threat the rabid dog is now."

Talwin: Er

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe more like, vehemently

Talwin: Not sure what that was supposed to mean

Zayden: Hey thanks Daphene! I forgot you were there great to see you

Talwin: I wouldn't ask them to take the place

Talwin: Cocks head

Talwin: I would never ask them too

Alexandria: Not one of your friends who care for you

Bixi Fizzlebang: How could you forget, after watching me eat so much?

Talwin: This sword cares for me, in it's own way

Alexandria: they obviously care deeply to go face a dragon for you

Daphene: How could you forget, after watching me eat so much?

Talwin: Smiles

Talwin: Indeed

Talwin: The sword did too, however

Talwin: You asked me weakness

Alexandria: None of them would sacrafice themselves to be trapped, enslaved inside a sword like this soul is

Alexandria: Do you think this trapped soul is a better person than your friends?

Zayden: Oh that's right, I didn't forget, I just felt like I hadn't seen you for a bit, it's great having you in the group, and oh it's nice to no longer be the n newest group member!

Talwin: My weakness is I won't force this sword to do anything it doesn't want it to do. I won't let it rampage and kill wantonly, but I refuse to treat it with any less respect then my friends

Talwin: I can't help it

Talwin: The Sword I mean

Alexandria: warm smiles

Talwin: BUt I can help it as best I can to ease it's suffering where I can

Alexandria: You know what these Fire Gems are used for?

Talwin: Nods. And I told Reven

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Will it help you let go if I tell you that the sword was TOTALLY IN ON IT with the glitter bomb?

Alexandria: Say it

Zayden: what are they used for?

Alexandria: Make everyone aware of the choice you are making

Talwin: That it will send the soul onwards

Talwin: Sighs

Talwin: Howard educated me on the topic

Zayden: ohhhhhh

Talwin: Nods with thanks to Howard

Talwin: I chose to carefully consider it, and Reven was quite upset at the idea

Howard Plum: smiles sadly

Alexandria: Reaches out give me one of the gems

Talwin: Who am I to judge this being who was wronged

Zayden: [SKILL] Musical Instrument [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 7]

Talwin: Hesitates, but carefully removes a Gem, keeping Reven sheathed

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): funeral dirge?

Shislif (Zayden): just some nice background music, seems like an emotional moment

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey what are bards for :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): I love it :)

Alexandria: Takes the gem and holds it in one hand

Shislif (Zayden): that's what i thought!

mharmon1 (Talwin): emotional moment

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): neeeear, faaaaar, whereeeeever you are something something something something heart will go ooooooonnnnnnn

Alexandria: Give me your sword

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): you'reeeee heeeeere there's nOOOOOOthing I fear

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Talwin: Alexandria, I can't in good Consious do this without knowing your intent. Even if it costs me everyting

Talwin: Sadly

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'll never let go, Jack! er, Talwin!

GM: That is awesome Lemon

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

Alexandria: You need to hand me your sword Talwin the brave

Talwin: Shakes head

Talwin: I...I can't

Talwin: Tears

Alexandria: Holds out her hand

Alexandria: Only the brave can move on

Talwin: Please ask something else...anything else

Talwin: It's a person

Talwin: I can't

Zayden: Tal is one of the bravest I've ever witnessed

Alexandria: It is YOUR soul

Talwin: It is HIS soul I'm worried about

Craigh: Everybody dies. Staying on after death is for zombies and vampires.

Alexandria: Holds out her hand quietly firmly confidently

Talwin: Weeping

Talwin: Please

Daphene: I know it doesn't feel like it, Talwin, but this might be the best gift you could give to your friend

Talwin: I would think he would disagree

Craigh: Do you think he'd approve of what he's become?

Talwin: Do you think he asked for any of this?

Craigh: Puppy, Rabid Dog?

Talwin: Who am I to do this to a soul

Talwin: I wouldn't do it to you

Zayden: hate is bottomless bucket, it can never be filled

Talwin: What makes your soul more important to his?

Daphene: When all you've known is misery, it makes sense to be afraid of what's coming next

Talwin: I would defend it to the death

Raelynn: Talwin, we all want to move on. Death is but another journey. What's a life here if not one we get to live?

Alexandria: quietly To you or For you

Daphene: If I were trapped in a sword and corrupted, I would hope someone would be brave enough and kind enough to free me.

Indigo: If someone ever puts me in a sword I want you to get me out please

Talwin: But you ASKED to be let out

Talwin: He has not

Talwin: Reven

Indigo: Yes. It's up to you to decide

Talwin: Uncertainly

Zayden: Me as well, if I am ever in a sword, please release me, you can put that in writing

Talwin: <In head space> Uncertainly

Talwin: What do you want?

Zayden: what is to become a sword Tal?

Zayden: what is it?

Zayden: it's to become an instrument of death

Daphene: Talwin... does Reven seem like someone who is in their right mind and can make that kind of request knowing what it means?

Raelynn: The unknown is scary, and sometimes it's hard to know when we need to move on/.

Talwin: Shakily puts hand on pommel, but not quite ready to do this to his friend

Zayden: Seriously dude we came all this way

Daphene: Sometimes when people are sick, we make the best choices for them, whether they agree or not.

Talwin: I will regret this the rest of my life

Talwin: Quitelty

Daphene: This is a different kind of sickness, but still, I think the choice is yours, not his.

Zayden: Sorry that was insensitive of me

Talwin: I am so sorry Reven, forgive me in the next life. Who will be with me now?

Lanek: frowns

Indigo: Then maybe you shouldn't do it. You don't want to live the rest of your life thinking you did the wrong thing

Raelynn: Your friends.

Talwin: Slowly draws the sword. "Will it be painful?"

Zayden: Indigo stop

Indigo: Only do it if you think it is the right thing to do

Daphene: Does Reven feel pain, Talwin?

Talwin: Oh yes. He feels pain

Zayden: I think we can be sure that he would ONLY do it if it was the right thing

Indigo: Why? You want him to think he's made the biggest mistake of his life forever?

Talwin: And It makes me proud I could lessen it

Zayden: why would he think that?

Lanek: he just said so

Indigo: He just said he'd regret it the rest of his life

Talwin: Master or not, if you make me regret this, I will find a way to return. Over and over

Talwin: Sadly

Indigo: I wouldn't want to live with that big a thing

Talwin: I'll miss you friend. I hope somehow you can visit

Bixi Fizzlebang: quietly so Talwin doesn't overhear, but to anyone else close enough, "Come on, we all know this thing is evil. Let him destroy it. We can talk sense into his feelings later."

Zayden: he's just emotional, he'll get over it

Talwin: I'll look for you when I part here

Talwin: Drops the sword in the hand

Zayden: This is Talwin we're talking about, but yea we all get chipped when we lose loved ones, and that stays with us

Alexandria: Takes the sword

Alexandria: Bows to Talwin

Alexandria: Welcome

Alexandria: You are now truly a master

Zayden: She seems like a nice lady though I'm sure Reven will be fine

Talwin: I certainly don't feel like it.

Daphene: Wondering if you made the right choice is a part of grief.

Alexandria: You can over come your internal fears and master the external ones

Zayden: Renunciation, it's kind of a big deal

Daphene: Especially when it is a companion who can not make their own decision

Talwin: Subdued. Sure, when they don't beg to stay maybe

Alexandria: Now I will train you in how to wield your weapon

Zayden: nice that sounds pretty cool

Talwin: Nods, but without his usual energy

Alexandria: You have already made your first steps

Alexandria: When you have a supplicant come to you, you will know to look in their heart and understand if they need a weapon or a heart

Alexandria: You have a heart

Alexandria: You will be strong and powerful and

Alexandria: warm smile

Daphene: I have had pets that I think would have begged to stay, if they had words. They would have put their pain aside to bring me more comfort. Is that what Reven's doing? Is that what you want him to do?

Alexandria: you will protect

Raelynn: Like a dragon!

Zayden: whoa a dragon?!

GM: The sword and the three gems go back into the lighthouse

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): so she is the dragon?

GM: everyone is treated to a warm happy dinner

Zayden: yummy

Raelynn: Vatra was strong, powerful, and protective. So why not like a dragon?

GM: You have beds and everything here to keep you overnight

Zayden: did you give her any lotion?

GM: Even Indigo is happy with the meal :)

Raelynn: Vatra? Yes, silly. But I need to make more now.

Craigh: Oh god, a bed...

GM: and then you all go to a deep sleep

Zayden: oh ok very nice

Zayden: so sleepy

Zayden yawns

Zayden: anybody want a massage?

Talwin: Nods

Zayden: hey I come buddy

Zayden: here

Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector -> Talwin: Thank you, friend

Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector: Thank you, friend

Zayden gives Talwin a should massage

Zayden shoulder

Talwin -> Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector: I am so sorry.

seyfert (Raelynn): VIKING WARRIOR?

springdew (Lanek): i hope that good meal included some good ale or wine

Zayden finds the kinks

springdew (Lanek): well okay then

Zayden his shoulders, his upper back, his bis and tris, all stiff as a board, tense as an over wraught violin

Talwin: I can bring these to the Lighthouse

Zayden really gets in there

Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector: a whisper in the back of Talwin's head "Don't think you're going to lose me so easily!"

Shislif (Zayden): oh snap!

GM: warm smile BOWS

Master TMO (Craigh): just don't crawl out of any tv screens

Shislif (Zayden): he's inside of him!

Shislif (Zayden): why he was so stiff probably

Talwin: Well, that's a little better :)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well, that's a little better :)

Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector: I'm off protecting my family right now, but I'll be back to visit, don't worry!

mharmon1 (Talwin): I felt like garbage

Shislif (Zayden): oh that's nice, he's friendly now

Talwin: It sounds like a plan

Talwin: Smiles Warmly

Talwin: Bows to Alexandira

Shislif (Zayden): i thought he was still evil and gonna posses Tal or something

Talwin: Whatever was done

Talwin: Thank you

Talwin: I think

Talwin: I hope

GM: I told you you needed to stay Michael

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Lemon can still "visit" with him though from time to time :) )

LemonyLemon (Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector): I'M HIS GHOST NOW! BOB SAID IT!

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Raelynn: But now you

Shislif (Zayden): lol

seyfert (Raelynn): *you'll have to deal with Bixi ghost hunting

Shislif (Zayden): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Against a viking protector?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean...

GM: Lemon got a ghost pepper, a ranger, and a ghost for her part of the adventure

LemonyLemon (Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector): Plus we still get to go botany hunting or whatever later!

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): ghost pepper? Thought it was afire pepper

GM: Ghost Fire Pepper

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): See, when you talk too much, you get stuff, even if it's not your adventure!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Let this be a lesson to you all!

Talwin: I don't mean to push my luck, but I must ask someone of your knowledge. How long may these gems be seperatated from a heat source? Or does it matter? We with to treat our remaining ones with respect.

Master TMO (Craigh): I did not talk enough, I'm sure

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

GM: It is night Michael those are questions for tomorrow

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, that's why you didn't get a ghost

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Try harder TMO

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah, okay

GM: you handed over your three gems

GM: they took the other two for safe keeping for you too

GM: But will give them back

Daphene: Should we have a celebration for your lost friend?

mharmon1 (Talwin): (OH! Okay then)

GM: Now is breakfast

Talwin: I would say yes. As I don't think he is seeprated for me forever

GM: and everone can be IC or OOC as you wish

Talwin: Feeling rested after a deep sleep.

Talwin: "It's so quiet"

Talwin: As eating

Talwin: As eating

LemonyLemon (Daphene): I'm TRYING to put together an impromptu memorial for the evil sword BOB, jeez

Talwin: It will take getting used too

Lanek: these eggs are better

GM: This is the time to do it Lemon

Indigo: You okay?

Daphene: I can't believe I'm hungry again already

Raelynn: They are better, but they're not a salad...

Talwin: Coughs up an piece of egg at Lanek's remark

Daphene: After how much I ate before

Indigo: Who eats salad for breakfast?

Lanek: yer not supposed to huff it, Talwin

Lanek: they don't get ya high

Talwin: I'll be fine. Now that I know he is not in pain and showed a penchant for happiness, I think maybe it was the right move

Talwin: I just

Youtargim: I think you meant who eats salad Indigo

Raelynn: A nice fruit salad is a lovely breakfast.

Talwin: Wish I felt better about it.

Talwin: But at the same time

Talwin: He seemed so happy

Raelynn: People who want to live healthy lives eat salad!

Youtargim: and that means you should always have some fruit and greens with your day, right Rae?

Talwin: How could I deny him that

Daphene: Maybe let's go outside and you can say a bit about your friend and we can have a moment of silence.

Craigh: Remember what I said the other night?

Raelynn: Obviously.

Daphene: And then drink to him

Talwin: It' so quiet

Daphene: A lot of drinks

Talwin: Repeats Quietly

Daphene: That's what I want people to do when I die

Raelynn: Drinking? This early in the morning?

Lanek: nods

Zayden: drinks?

Indigo: Better than salads!

Talwin: A simple toast would not be out of the question

Indigo: grins

Raelynn: I don't understand you people.

Talwin: Smiles

Daphene: shrugs

Daphene: There's never a good time of day to grieve

Zayden: did somebody say drinks?

Talwin: The best thing is that you don't have too, but we always have your back

Daphene: Maybe some nice music

Talwin: Grind

Raelynn: Oh! We could add a little sparkling wine to fruit juice! That's a good breakfast drink.

Zayden: hey wel all grieve in our own manner, and our manner is to drink

Talwin: Even Bixi

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Talwin: Grins

GM: That is the right quote too for Rae and Talwin there

Lanek: hail with the ale, let's do it

Daphene: Oooh, Rae, that sounds so good!

GM: Before the drinks started, grins

Zayden: I'll take one!

Talwin: Me too

Indigo: grins

Raelynn: I could never drink beer or straight liqour so early in the morning, but a bit of sparkling wine and juice? Always good.

Talwin: I think a cetain Viking would approve

Bixi Fizzlebang: grumbles

Talwin: Raises his Glass in a Toast

Talwin: To Reven!

Zayden: it's five o'clock somewhere...

Zayden feels a little dirty

Raelynn: To Reven! And Talwin!

Talwin: May he live in happiness ever more!

Lanek: to Reven!

Talwin: Blushes

Zayden: to Reven!

Talwin: WIth His Family, and the Eternal Battle!

Youtargim: Toasts

Bixi Fizzlebang: To the glittery sword!

Indigo: raises his glass and cheers

Zayden: He was a passionate lad!

Talwin: Quietly. "I'll miss you friend"

Daphene: To Reven!

Craigh: raps the rim of his cup against the edge of the table and takes a drink.

Talwin: Despite himself, rests his hand on a missing pommel

Zayden: Never Reven!

Raelynn: mutters, "And to Talwin gaining some sanity back!"

Talwin: before catching himself, turning it into a waving gesture

Bixi Fizzlebang: snorts

Bixi Fizzlebang: Don't count those chickens yet, Rae

Zayden: smooth

Talwin: Careful Raelynn, No one accused me of being perfectly sane before the sword

Raelynn: laughs

Lanek: glugs the ale

Raelynn: Guess we'll find out?

Talwin: Withotu him distracting me, I might start thinking of revenge pranks

Zayden: before the sword, feels like a lifetime ago

Raelynn: Will it involve glitter? I do need to get some more for lotions.

Talwin: I would agree Zayden

Bixi Fizzlebang: Zayden, did we know you before the sword?

Talwin: Would you honor us with a song in his name? We don't have to right now, but it would be worthy of a true legend

Zayden: I think it may have been around the same time

Raelynn: We met him at the same place!

Craigh: We found them both in the same place.

GM: no

Bixi Fizzlebang: I know Daph hasn't known Talwin before the sword

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): Zayden didn't know Talwin before the sword, right? they were both picked up in giant keep :)

GM: Points to TMO

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, that's what I thought

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But Bixi is drunk

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): probably

Raelynn: But he was also a prisoner so I'm sure it all felt like a lifetime ago.

Zayden: oh right! you came for the sword, you just happened upon me, now I remember. Ha!

Craigh: Although to be technical about it, we did find the sword first. But it didn't shrink until later.

Zayden: Who at last whom

Talwin: Nods

Lanek: waves the empty tankard around significantly

Craigh: We just happened on the sword too.

GM: WOW you freed one prisoner and just carried the other one around with you for over a DECADE

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

Bixi Fizzlebang: You know, I can't even remember why we went there in the first place

Master TMO (Craigh): We like prisoners?

Indigo: To return the elf cloak

Craigh: After the Chain that was tainting the Elven afterlife

mharmon1 (Talwin): oh my gods, it was a decade? Talwin must be literally struggling with the mental gymnastics of having no one to converse with

Raelynn: For Moonbow.

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol no it was not)

mharmon1 (Talwin): the emptiness

Shislif (Zayden): whoa it's been that long?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): we time-skipped six years

Shislif (Zayden): ah ok

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know how that factors into the math

GM: Not for Talwin your self timing is only months, but you jumped ahead years as Lemon says when you returned

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): because math

mharmon1 (Talwin): Still, four years is a lot! :)

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): I don't count the time skip

seyfert (Raelynn): The ones who stayed behind skipped six years. The ones who went it was only two days or so

Master TMO (Craigh): that 6 years was when we were in the Outer Planes though, right? It wasn't 6 years for us

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): math AND timey wimey

seyfert (Raelynn): It was for Howard, but not anyone else here (minus Daphene)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): no thank you

GM: wibbly wobbly time

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm not drunk enough for that

mharmon1 (Talwin): Also in all seriosness, what was that about the Queen? Very confused.

Master TMO (Craigh): My comment Michael?

GM: and OOC for the rest of the night

Talwin: Right?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Right?

mharmon1 (Talwin): sorry

Shislif (Zayden): Hey so I may get going to do some dinner stuff, but it kinda feels like we're done RPing for the night anyway

GM: I am here to answer what questions I can

seyfert: rest of the night? not much more night left

GM: go have a great night Sharif

mharmon1 (Talwin): Night Zayden :)

seyfert: niight Sharif!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Night Carissa :)

Shislif (Zayden): night night see yall next week!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Just cusious about the Queen thing?

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight!

seyfert: (I'm still here for a few more minutes, lol, but thanks)

GM: Ask away

springdew: gnite Sharif

'Shislif' disconnected

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I should probably go. I have a headache that is definitely not from crying like a baby, defnitely not

MadamePsychosis: awwww

GM: and now Michael did I manage to make this a story arc that you feel made Talwin grow?

Talwin: No, I just didn't understand what you meant about the QUeen. Do you like get an honro or something for becoming a master? Very confused on that

springdew: gnite Lemon!

Talwin: sorry, going OOC

seyfert: night Lemon!

GM: warm tight hugs Lemon

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): goodnight friends!

Master TMO: If I understand it right, by asking to be trained to be a Master of the sword, you're basiclly asking to be admitted to the Royalty of the Swordsmen. The Queen had to decide if you were worthy to be granted that honor. Not actual ranks or society, but it's the same feel

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight!

'LemonyLemon' disconnected

seyfert: Technically, there are lots of queens. But there are only three two handed sword masters so she'd be even MORE important.

Master TMO: it's a metaphor

GM: Queen being Alexandria

mharmon1: No in hindsight I liked it a lot! I just didn't like the coming up to it because it reminded me of well the past. I hated it

Master TMO: there are only 3 Masters, you're asking to become the 4th

mharmon1: OH!

mharmon1: Okay. I just must have missed that

mharmon1: Cool!

Master TMO: We've dealt with enough Queens you thought I was being literal

Master TMO: understandable

MadamePsychosis: how do they know that? Is there a registry?

GM: LOLO with Lisa

Master TMO: reputation, I assume

mharmon1: Ugh, Actually I was. Queen of the Swamp, Drillian, Alexandria, Evil Queen, etc

mharmon1: Losing track

GM: ALexandria mentioned one of the other ones as a barbarian in the north

mharmon1: So...a lot

mharmon1: lol

Master TMO: no problem, sorry I added to the confusion

GM: then she said three, you do not know the third one

mharmon1: You are fine. Appreciated the comment because I wouldn't have asked and didn't realize

mharmon1: So this was fun. I know I joke about it a lot, but sometime in the future, I want Talwin to start building up more industry for the Protectorate.

GM: I am very glad I could make you so emotionally entangled Michael

MadamePsychosis: what you do best Bob

mharmon1: Uh, yes you did that very well> Thank god it's Lories turn now

mharmon1: I need a break

seyfert: Lisa's

seyfert: We gonna go to Hell

mharmon1: Well, we need to include her more

mharmon1: Sorry

GM: Next week we deal with the City things

mharmon1: Should have clarified

MadamePsychosis: yes

mharmon1: and City things sounds fun while I am training

GM: and XP and Training and helping Bixi get her herbs

Master TMO: I sorta went thru mine with Ilero, and he wound up retiring over it. :)

mharmon1: What should I do during that session bob? Just pop in, or anything I can help with?

mharmon1: I think Talwin has a lot left in him :)

GM: Yes you are expected to be here Michael

mharmon1: Expected! Strong words :)

mharmon1: Yes Headmaster

GM: grins

seyfert: Oh training question

GM: anything

GM: ask away

seyfert: How many weeks does Nlaea get? She's home so I haven't a clue when she technically leveled.

seyfert: She needs to train in NWP and WP

GM: You can check the site to see when this story arc started and then how many weeks for training.... sob

seyfert: hugs for Bob too

MadamePsychosis: training usually takes 7 weeks unless you find a high WIS trainer

seyfert: Wasn't it 41 days?

GM: Yes 41 days so far

mharmon1: Frankly, I don't think there is a wiser trainer, but I could be mistaken

seyfert: And then however long this training takes

MadamePsychosis: 9 days in a week

GM: which is 4-5 weeks so far

seyfert: Is that training for just NWP or also for WP?

GM: one slot at a time

seyfert: I'm thinking I'm leaning towards Vet Healing for NWP and another point for bows for WP. I think.

MadamePsychosis: no multi-tasking :)

seyfert: lol didn't think so

seyfert: And wasn't sure if she was being dragged to the library or not anymore

GM: We will be clicking off 5 - 8 weeks for Talwin's training

seyfert: But wanted to toss it out there for whatever training she can get now

GM: you do not know yet how wise Alexandria is

MadamePsychosis: we can do that quickly

seyfert: Although I'm sure she can get more before Hell during the Hell prep

MadamePsychosis: when is that happening

mharmon1: She made Talwin give up Reven, so I'd say she must have some wisdom LOL But no worries either way

GM: We will be clicking off time the next two sessions

GM: Did anyone expect that ending?

MadamePsychosis: I'm just glad at the end of this Talwin can be at peace with it

mharmon1: Uh, No. I did not

mharmon1: And I bawled alot

seyfert: Kinda guess for first, and yes to Lisa

MadamePsychosis: Was not going to be happy if Michael was going to be dragging regret after it

Master TMO: If there was foreshadowing, I missed it, but that's not too surprising.

mharmon1: I feel better knowing he actually is happy and not angry at Talwin's decision. That would have made me truly miserable

MadamePsychosis: good

MadamePsychosis: then a good ending

seyfert: yes

mharmon1: So how excited is Branwny going to be for her Gift!

mharmon1: I am so excited to bring it back to her

MadamePsychosis: she will be very surprised and happy

mharmon1: And after selling the other, we can hopefully make enough to stuff her coffers!

Master TMO: Have a hot rock that might hatch into a hostile flame lizard!

mharmon1: (Unless someone else wants it of course)

mharmon1: Well, Rae would love that

mharmon1: to be honest

mharmon1: She would train it

seyfert: We wanna sell it OR do we wannt save it for the next dragon bargining?

mharmon1: But I think that's classified as a Monster

mharmon1: So, maybe not

seyfert: Yes please!!

seyfert: lol

mharmon1: And there you go

seyfert: Although a dragonette is a bit more her size

MadamePsychosis: I am not sure we know anyone with the insemination nwp

mharmon1: If Bob is okay with that, not sure

seyfert: She's like a small poodle person versus a giant shepard

seyfert: lmao

GM: HAH

Master TMO: Zayden, probably

MadamePsychosis: lol

Master TMO: you know how Bards get

seyfert: lol

springdew: hehe

mharmon1: I do know that when Talwin gets back, he probably will be a lot more chill with the Peasentry. Especially because with his new level apparently after some work he gets loyal people who come to train and be cool badass mercs that are his own gaurd. Crazy right!

springdew: okay i gotta go, sorry i wasn't more involved today

mharmon1: You were great Spring :)

mharmon1: Thanks for tuning in :)

springdew: gnite!

MadamePsychosis: good to see you

Master TMO: Chill Talwin is good! That's kind of what Craigh was advising for.

'springdew' disconnected

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight!

Master TMO: g'nite Spring!

seyfert: night spring!

mharmon1: Do they have Dragons in Hell?

Master TMO: maybe

MadamePsychosis: no clue

seyfert: and no worries, always happy for you to be here complaining about the eggs ;)

GM: Thank you everyone, I want to get the training, and small misc. things done, click back to Loosend and such for all the characters. Then we have two more story arcs, Lisa with Book Return and Lorie's one which is ???????? to wrap up Cosmological Quandries

mharmon1: Well, it's not like Demons will have any less wordplay. Maybe a vow of silence will be good for me

MadamePsychosis: are we doing the library heist next week?

mharmon1: Cool!

seyfert: I thought it was desert after hell.

seyfert: Easier to go from hell to another hell

mharmon1: Yes!

mharmon1: Yes Please!

GM: the Desert is the next Era

mharmon1: Ah

seyfert: Details

mharmon1: So Talwin will unfortuantely be dead

mharmon1: That's a shame

seyfert: LOL

GM: My goal is all of the characters feel they are at a good equal point

mharmon1: Oh come on. None of us will ever Match Branwyn lol

GM: then we start the new Era off on adventures across the desert

MadamePsychosis: and then destroy them?

mharmon1: Visit new people, and then kill them

GM: We will see who surives Hell first

mharmon1: That's...ominous

mharmon1: And unfortuante

MadamePsychosis: hell is going to be easy peasy

seyfert: I've made it this far so far

mharmon1: Somehow Talwin has too

MadamePsychosis: we're usually going to take stuff

mharmon1: And Loot the SHit out of it Right?

MadamePsychosis: this trip we're bring them stuff

MadamePsychosis: what could possibly go wrong?

Master TMO: would be ironic to do so many character variations to wind up at Fives just for him to die out there. :)

GM: GOD I wish I had the site to write on this weekend

mharmon1: And I don't know if healing potions are a thing, but I will find some

seyfert: Yeahhh.... it'd help

GM: We will get it fixed and updated

GM: deep sigh

GM: have a great night everyone

GM: thank you all

Master TMO: g'nite

mharmon1: I know it's early bob. But, can I get a small spoiler on the Desert? I graduate in September and would love to pull a carissa

seyfert: Shi can make you some I believe. She made health ones, she can probably do healing, too

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight all! :)

mharmon1: We don't have to do right now

mharmon1: Night All!

seyfert: Wait wait

seyfert: Pull a me?

mharmon1: Write a book

Master TMO: lol

mharmon1: I'll finally have TIME

GM: give it to me in two months in Discord Michael

seyfert: LOL got it needed to clarify

GM: you will do great

mharmon1: I WILL DO THIS

mharmon1: LOL

seyfert: Could go many ways. Killing chickens, making puns, writing a book

seyfert: Lots of choices here

mharmon1: Also, are you still good with handing me my Graduation papers?

GM: I have a full Era laid out

Master TMO: tormenting TMO

mharmon1: in Sept

mharmon1: It would be a great honor

seyfert: Tormenting TMO is my favorite. I could use help there.

GM: all egyptian desert tormenting things

Master TMO: I don't get tormented enough, that's true

mharmon1: Oh my god. THis is AWESOME

'MadamePsychosis' disconnected

Master TMO: lordy, I'm already awash in Egyptian stuff

mharmon1: Be right up your alley TMO :)

GM: I have a whole area on Google Earth already laid out

mharmon1: Okay, Night All! HUGS

GM: that no one has explored yet

seyfert: The Egyptians have.

GM: and you will need someone who can speak with giants, and is a pirate sailor for that Era

mharmon1: Out of curiosity....

GM: Hmmmmmm

mharmon1: Next era?

mharmon1: You said?

Master TMO: golly... who could we get?

mharmon1: Would you consider adding a gameplay mechanic?

seyfert: Yeah yeah you gave that foreshadowing WAY early

Master TMO: I dub him... Tiberius II

seyfert: At least Yout gets his own adventure to prove he's useful

GM: yes next Era, after this is wrapped up then Book Return for Lisa and ???? for Lorie

mharmon1: How many years?

mharmon1: Guess?

Master TMO: 5

mharmon1: As a gameplay mechanic, would you consider...and hear me out, don't laugh...introducing really early versions of flintlocks?

GM: No

mharmon1: Sigh

mharmon1: One day

GM: zero gunpowder

seyfert: lol

GM: Zero Psionics

mharmon1: It's all I ask for

seyfert: We're going to Egypt, not China

mharmon1: Hey, I can dream!

seyfert: lol

GM: there is already fireworks, you could have had them,

Master TMO: :( I wanna hurt people *with my MINNNNNND*!

seyfert: Now if you get your hands on a Wish Spell.....

mharmon1: I just miss flintlocks from an older game. Even vegin terribly unrealiable, I LOVED Them

GM: Qui was right there in the group

seyfert: Oh thought you were gonna say Wu

GM: in any case

GM: have a great night

seyfert: Night all!

mharmon1: Night :)

'mharmon1' disconnected

GM: yes to Carissa, Wu is correct

'seyfert' disconnected

'Master TMO' disconnected

mharmon1: Night :)
