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. :)

BOB grins with Sharif
Michael (Talwin): lol
Sharif: :)
Michael (Talwin): I must pay the local lord their due by the annual date
BOB LOL
BOB So I am ready to go
Michael (Talwin): Just checked Discord. Carissa you okay over there? Spring talking about trees snapping?
Michael (Talwin): (but yes also ready)
BOB We left the group in the Inn going to sleep
Carissa: No ice or snow really here. Just really f*ing cold.
Carissa: At least ours ends Sunday
Michael (Talwin): (sorry about that!)
Michael (Talwin): Yes, and dropping life changing advice on a poor ranger
BOB before you head out, your boat (not ship) still needs to be paid for too
Carissa: I got heat and electricity so except for when I had to go outside earlier today, I'm good lol
BOB Yes it our cold is over tomorrow
Carissa: 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
Carissa: Meant to do it IC but...
Lorie: ... BOB, it was 87 today, who are you kidding???
BOB Glad to do all those things
'TMO' disconnected

Michael (Talwin): it's -2 tongiht in Utah
BOB I fully understand
BOB the guest room is up
Lisa: CA is keeping quiet
Michael (Talwin): LOL
BOB HAH
Carissa: lol
Michael (Talwin): So Carissa, want to spend some time questioning the ranger? There is a solid chance he will be coming with us
Sharif: it's actually quite cold here, it's 62! low of 49!
BOB Smiles with Sharif, see!
Lisa: beat up on Sharif. Not talking about my weather
Carissa: Well we can find out if he is, but yeah.
Sharif: lol :)
Michael (Talwin): Well at least you aren't on fire at the moment Lisa :)
Carissa: Just dragon questions for him
Carissa: LOL
'TMO' connected
Lisa: nope. no fires
Michael (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 :)
BOB and welcome back TMO
Carissa (Raelynn): well you do make me feel better about the cold given we don't deal with fires
Sharif: true, we get earthquekes too
BOB Just wait Carissa, climate change is coming
Sharif: so it's kinda a wash :)
Carissa (Raelynn): This part of NY actually was rated one of the best places to handle climate change
BOB But I keep getting told that earthquakes are no big deal, ;)
Carissa (Raelynn): I think our biggest issue are the hurricanes you keep sending our way
BOB just wait until the Gulf Stream stops
Sharif: true they really aren't, you wake up for a bit then go back to sleep
Sharif: at least until the big one of course
Michael (Talwin): Well there's also a .0001 percent chance of a Nuclear WInter bob. Don't give up hope just yet
BOB chuckles with Sharif
Carissa (Raelynn): Eh, it's fine. We'll all die and you can't care about things when you're dead
BOB and so
Michael (Talwin): Agreed with that lol
BOB bringing this back
BOB it is morning in the Inn
Michael (Talwin): Yep. Sorry
BOB 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
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Michael (Talwin): Sorry bob haha
Carissa (Raelynn): I don't remember the inn person's name but the others I do. I thnk.
Ingegerd Grandelius: Good Morning!
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
Carissa (Raelynn): (ha)
Michael (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!
Michael (Talwin): Sorry bob
Michael (Talwin): Pretend I said ma'am
Carissa (Raelynn): (thought the dragon only took the dart not the gold and potion)
Michael (Talwin): my bad
Lisa (Indigo): chat said he gave all the gold he had
Lisa (Indigo): who needs a website? :)
Ingegerd Grandelius: I fled the City as soon as I could
Michael (Talwin): (but he didn't take it)
Michael (Talwin): (I kept notes)
GM: LOL
Lisa (Indigo): I didn't see he gave it back
Michael (Talwin): (Lost my dart though)
Carissa (Raelynn): (yes that's where I was unclear - didn't think he took it)
Carissa (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?
Michael (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.
Lisa (Indigo): ok - you paying saves party pack funds :)
Ingegerd Grandelius: Are there any good Cities?
Michael (Talwin): LOL LISA :)
Raelynn: I think I like Loosend better than Dryads Lair. Dragon Fen still needs... work.
Lorie (Licornah): (Well, do you like Vampires or Liches? If so, we can show you real estate!)
Michael (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!
BOB Actually 5
Raelynn: Er, well it's more a shrine?
Talwin: Slaps head
BOB 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
Michael (Talwin): (Let's take her with us too. I'm feeling charitable today)
Michael (Talwin): lol
Michael (Talwin): (also she seems abused)
Michael (Talwin): (I hate that)
Ingegerd Grandelius: It is not complicated like making stew
Michael (Talwin): (No one opposed? Huh)
Carissa (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
Michael (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
Michael (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?
Michael (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.
BOB OH MY GOD MICHAEL
Indigo: The whole estate?
Michael (Talwin): What what?
BOB Jilly will break many spoons over Talwin's head
Indigo: Jilly oversees the cook at the manor
Michael (Talwin): What did I say?
Michael (Talwin): Sigh
Carissa (Raelynn): it was nice knowing him
Michael (Talwin): I mean to be more like a Sous Chef
Michael (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???
BOB 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?
BOB S
Indigo: It has to be copper
Talwin: But I think the gods mean Silver
Talwin: For some odd insight
Lisa (Indigo): 5gp then?
BOB yeap
Raelynn: Is that normal rate for a place like... this?
Michael (Talwin): I mean...with breakfasts like these....
Michael (Talwin): But yeah, that does sound like alot
Indigo: Two nights and food for a dozen people ...
BOB fishing boats cost 350 gp
Indigo: Ask her if it includes the docking fee
Talwin: souds like a no....
BOB Yes that is the total including docking and your two nights stay
Michael (Talwin): souds like a no....
Lisa (Indigo): so that makes sense
Michael (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
BOB Indigo can vouch that it is good food
Indigo: It's good though
Zayden: meat is meat you know
BOB unusually prepared perhaps but it it good
Talwin: Well....
Zayden chomps away
Michael (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
BOB Look at MMMMEEEEEE I am so SNEEEEKEEEEEEE
Michael (Talwin): lol
Raelynn: Maybe he just likes having a theme song while he sneaks?
BOB 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
BOB While youa re tidying up everything the Ranger comes down for his breakfast
Zayden: like as an after adventure report, for next time
Michael (Talwin): I know we have discussed this before, but 1 GP is MORE then enough as tip right?)
Lisa (Indigo): yes!
Raelynn: Good morning, Bredin!
Shislif (Zayden): Mission impossible theme is a great sneaking song :)
Carissa (Raelynn): (far more than enough)
Youtargim: Looks at Rae, after action reports? We can avoid those right?
Michael (Talwin): (thank you Lisa. I have a hard time conversting USD to CAN)
Michael (Talwin): :)
Lisa (Indigo): lol
Carissa (Raelynn): (that tip is what? 600 s?)
Raelynn: After action reports?
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Michael (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!
Michael (Talwin): (are we still towing a ship or large boat? I forget at the moment)
Michael (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
Carissa (Raelynn): (I believe it's the boat which we took here to the swamps so we have both the knarr and boat)
Lisa (Indigo): we took the small boat to get here. The ship is docked at Bort's Beach
Michael (Talwin): Gotcha. One we own, the other we don't
Lisa (Indigo): The dead cow or whatever this boat was called
Talwin: Right
Michael (Talwin): Not dark at all
Talwin: Not dark at all
Lisa (Indigo): posession is 100% of the law
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Lisa (Indigo): that boat is ours now
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Michael (Talwin): we can't take it all the way back though :)
Carissa (Raelynn): Moc
Lisa (Indigo): sure why not?
'Spring' connected
Michael (Talwin): Might as well rent it out where we depositied the funds from earlier
BOB 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
Carissa (Raelynn): especially if we click time off for the river portion!
Michael (Talwin): I depositied 200 GP. Maybe we could start a small business there and let it collect cash
BOB You can do what ever you want with the Ship and with the Boat
Michael (Talwin): Am I misunderstanding what a lease is in this world?
Michael (Talwin): We have to give it back right?
Carissa (Raelynn): The ship is leased. The boat we took from pirates.
Michael (Talwin): Okay, just making sure I dind't misunderstand
Carissa (Raelynn): So knarr is to be returned. The fishing boat we keep.
Michael (Talwin): and rent when we get back to....shoot. website is down so I don't recall where I left the funds. Dammit!
Michael (Talwin): lol
BOB 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
Michael (Talwin): Ah. Then let's buy two fishing boats for our fancy business :)
Lisa (Indigo): you took the funds out I thought - that was the 200 gp
Michael (Talwin): real entreuprenuers that I can't spell the right word
TMO (Craigh): do we have enough sailors?
Michael (Talwin): NOPE!
Michael (Talwin): Seperate encounter!
TMO (Craigh): or are we going to hire some?
BOB LOL
Michael (Talwin): I track gold like a goblin
Michael (Talwin): like Scrooge
Michael (Talwin): at least my personal funds LOL
Carissa (Raelynn): lol well it's not a worry now so hopefully the site is back up when it is
Lisa (Indigo): 200 gp was the fighting pit I thought - where else did you get 200 gp that was not put into communal funds?
Lisa (Indigo): like we got an extra thief
Michael (Talwin): Pretty sure it was a fight
Michael (Talwin): But def going to check now. I def. have two entries for gold collection
Lisa (Indigo): we are a socialist party
Michael (Talwin): but but! I asked Indigo!
Michael (Talwin): he said it was fine!
Michael (Talwin): but okay
BOB HAH
Lisa (Indigo): to give talwin an extra 200 gp?
Michael (Talwin): I'm all for joint accounts in a relationship, but my hobby money is mine dammit!
Spring: hehehehe hi
Michael (Talwin): NO from the enoucnter!
Lisa (Indigo): what encounter?
Michael (Talwin): Sigh
BOB I asked Indigo!!!! Branwyn I promise I asked Indigo! No no fireball, please please please, I promise I asked Indigo ... AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lisa (Indigo): LOL
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Michael (Talwin): Am I misunderstanding what a lease is in this world?
Michael (Talwin): I WILL FIND THIS ENTRY BOB>!
Michael (Talwin): I swear!
Michael (Talwin): I did it so I could start up some businesses outside the protectorate
Lisa (Indigo): tis fine - then you don't need party pack funds
Michael (Talwin): With taxes for the new empire
BOB It can wait till you get back to Loosend at the earliest for the Buttercup
Michael (Talwin): Not where I can. I hate spending Party money unless absoultely necessary. Hell, I'm unfromfortable with that in real life
BOB 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?
Lisa (Indigo): thunk thunk thunk
Shislif (Zayden): like a peg leg?
Bredin: Hello, you are still here, I thought you would want an early start
Michael (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
Lisa (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
Bredin: OH
Zayden: Yea like Breeding
Spring (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.
Michael (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?!
BOB Lanek is disapointed that they are all scrambled, smashing to bits
Talwin: Leans over to Lanek
Michael (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
Michael (Talwin): IT IS A SHE!
Michael (Talwin): lol
Zayden: whispers to Rae: I've always struggled with that
Carissa (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
Spring (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
Michael (Talwin): (guess on scrambled Spring :) )
Michael (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
Spring (Lanek): i don't GAF. lanek is eating whatever eggs are available haha
Michael (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
Michael (Talwin): When in doubt, scramble them add cheese and pretend you intended it the whole time
Carissa (Raelynn): now I'm hungry for scrambled eggs and cheese
Shislif (Zayden): that is the genius of eggs!
Michael (Talwin): lol
Spring (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 ...
Carissa (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
'TMO' disconnected
BOB and TMO leaves at that thought
BOB 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?
Michael (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
BOB You have one of the only hospitals in Drillian, Spring had Kenna create it
Michael (Talwin): Regrow Limbs????
Lisa (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
Michael (Talwin): (good to know Lisa. Thank you. Let's find one :) )
Michael (Talwin): (preferablly one that can Turn Undead)
'TMO' connected
Michael (Talwin): :)
Bredin: You swear you can get me in there?
Talwin: Blinks
Lisa (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
Carissa (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?
Michael (Talwin): Stop right there bob
Michael (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 ::
Michael (Talwin): Was it his precious?
Michael (Talwin): :)
Raelynn: rolls eyes
Spring (Lanek): hehehe
Bredin: I mean I have thought about this all night
Lisa (Howard Plum): lots of eyes rolling tonight
Bredin: and I would never be able to get into the Celestry
Michael (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
Carissa (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)
Michael (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
Carissa (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
Lisa (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?
BOB Boats ahoy
Michael (Talwin): (Bob, tab has been paid?)
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB yes to Michael
Michael (Talwin): (KK. Just making sure)
Raelynn: Not sure i'll ever get a hang of this watery life.
BOB all is paid in full the town is happy with you
Talwin: they are???
Zayden: yay lets go!
Michael (Talwin): why?
Michael (Talwin): they are???
Carissa (Raelynn): You gave them a nice tip.
BOB you have given them fair value, you did not cause any troubles,
Spring (Lanek): i guess they get stiffed a lot
Michael (Talwin): (ah, okay)
BOB They would have sold the boat if you did not return, but you did and paid in full
Michael (Talwin): (so hopefully we'll be welcomed back if we ever return)
Lisa (Howard Plum): we're taking the injured thief off their hands too
Michael (Talwin): (good lord. Do people not pay people in this world? And Shoot Lisa, didn't thinka bout that :) )
Spring (Lanek): i used to wonder why Western towns even let cowboys come in, given they keep smashing up saloons and setting liveries on fire
Lisa (Howard Plum): lol
Michael (Talwin): I think some of that was a bit overstated due to media, but yeah I suppose you are right
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB So you CLICK back to Borts Beach with your fishing boat
Michael (Talwin): I man bob. I love you tonight...
Michael (Talwin): Thank you
Raelynn: I can't wait to eat a nice, refreshing salad for dinner!
Talwin: Let's get underway.
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
Michael (Talwin): LOL TMO
Michael (Talwin): Didn't want to slap down the dream
Michael (Talwin): :)
BOB Double checking on that
Spring (Lanek): oh yeah i was talking solely about movies and TV
BOB You can see on the map there
BOB You can click to Borts Beach, the recomended option, or go straight to the City
Michael (Talwin): The one with the Volikaya River on the West?
BOB and try to navigate that
BOB yes to Michael
Michael (Talwin): Borts Beach
Michael (Talwin): I mean, you even recommended it
Spring (Lanek): searching for map
Carissa (Raelynn): (Alexandria or Celestry first?)
BOB Images Dryads Lair Principality
Spring (Lanek): thanks
BOB and Carissa brings us to the key point
BOB This is the OOC portion of the night
Michael (Talwin): Let me change Character to Human then :)
Lisa (Howard Plum): the thing is Bredin - we have him longer if we don't drop him off
Lisa (Howard Plum): lol Michael
Spring (Lanek): that
Sharif: howdy!
BOB you land at Borts Beach and then Talwin goes to attempt to prove his worth for training
Carissa (Raelynn): True but then we have to make sure we have the gems protected that long. Or we toss them in the room scroll.
BOB or you go to the City and deal with those things
BOB and welcome back Sharif
Michael: Right. But I also need Alexandria to confirm they will be safe without heat for the moment
Michael: Bob, if the group wants, can we do the City on the way back?
Lisa: we would have to change from the boat to the ship at Bort's anyway wouldn't we?
Carissa: Ahh true. We don't know if they'll cool off.
BOB There are lots of things tied up into the tangle here, is why I said it will take two sessions to get through
Lisa: we can't be all crammed in a little boat pulling into DL
Carissa: I was leaning towards Alexandria personally. Bredin is annoying, but we need ot prioritize Talwin over him.
BOB That is why the map Michael
Michael: Actually, while I'm training, the group could do the city!
Michael: And bring Bredin to steal them blind
BOB IF Talwin gets accepted for training will be weeks
Michael: Right
BOB we click some of those off
Craigh: I can handle getting Bredin to the Celestry if you want.
BOB the City things will take time,
Michael: But it might take "weeks" to do the City
BOB plus all the other things
TMO (Craigh): (wait, my bad, we're not at the city -sorry)
Michael: I'd even setup another temp character to help in the City
BOB Lisa has a good point, Carissa points to the TEAM
BOB no need for that Michael
Michael: I just don't want everyone bored :(
Carissa: We have things to do no worres
Carissa: But again, we came here for Talwin.
BOB I have a place to take notes here
Michael: Yeah, but no reason not to make some gold for the Communist regime
BOB to make sure that everyone gets what they should
Michael: :)
BOB LOL
Lisa: lol
BOB Quote
BOB That is syindipity
Carissa: lol
Lisa: serendipity????
Carissa: shhh he's clearly drunk
Michael: lol
Lisa: lol
BOB HAH
BOB I was just thinking how/if someone could create an extension for spell check
Lorie (Licornah): (link it to the F7)
BOB I am so used to just typing and then fixing before enter
Sharif: bio break brb :)
Michael: why not go in the game?
Michael: :)
Lisa: if the npc will behave I'm all for taking care of Talwin first
TMO (Craigh): Craigh can wrangle him if you want. ;)
BOB Your captive Ranger will behave
BOB and your hungry Ranger will eat
Michael: I'm sure
Michael: People generally do
Carissa: lol
Michael: 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
Lisa: we did that when we left RB
Lisa: I thought
Michael: I know, I'm just paranoid about forgetting
BOB Yes to Lisa
Michael: Sorry
Michael: :)
Lisa: so you're good
Michael: Hey, I got notes back from 2016 for stuff I forgot to do
Sharif: back!
Michael: :)
Lisa: so to bort's beach then?
Michael: oh god. 2016? I gotta check that date
GM: (POLL)
Michael: 7 years?
Spring (Lanek): hahahaha
BOB Borts Beach is a check
Michael: Majority
BOB and the majority votes for Beach
Michael: Hugs to anyone who doesn't
Michael: I do like that system
Lorie (Licornah): (I do not care... I feel very lost, but please keep moving)
Sharif: 2nd!
Michael: Sorr y Lorie, can I help at all?
Lorie (Licornah): (Nope... you all know what is what, that's what matters)
Michael: Yeah, but we love you too :)
BOB So everyone is back at Borts Beach in the fishing boat, the Buttercup is still there safe and sound
Sharif: is Borts Beach a resort area?
Michael: Although we have a docking fee i"m sure
BOB Pastes a link to the fine writing about Borts Beach, the history and the new town... sighs
Carissa: {imaginary link}
BOB thank you
TMO (Craigh): lol
Spring: hehehe
BOB You have no idea
Sharif: lol
BOB Feels like it has been down a month
BOB has been just over 48 hours
Carissa: not that you're counting or anything
BOB nope
Michael: (let me know when I need to setup a website)
BOB Or checking the help ticket system
BOB I have it Michael, but thank you very much
BOB the website is good, the server lost the connection to the server the Wiki is on
Lorie (Licornah): (Someone needs to feed the gerbils better...)
BOB a 500 error so nothing we can fix on our end
BOB All the files are still there, just not connected
Carissa: Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Lorie (Licornah): (Have you tried sacrificing a stuffed monkey)
Michael: LOL
BOB A Small Orange is the hosting company
Michael: Sorry, i can setup whatever you need. I know it's not the website
BOB I just paid the renewal fee two days before this happened
BOB SO
BOB back to the moment
Michael: negative 81? are you sure carissa?
Michael: Oh sorry, meant for Discord
Michael: Sigh
BOB The presumption is everyone is going with Talwin to talk about proving he is worthy of training
Carissa: At Whiteface, yup.
Lorie (Licornah): (I confirm her weather report, it was also on the Pittsburgh weather as a "holy bananas" thing)
Lisa: do thermometers even go that low? :)
Sharif: sounds good
Michael: (so, you die if you go out for five minutes)
Michael: even in heavy weather gear
Lorie (Licornah): (there's a town farther north in the negative hundred'ish)
Carissa: Pretty much, yup!
Carissa: Mount Washington in NH hit -105F
Lisa: that is insane
Michael: not sure engines would start in that. Day After Tomorrow freezing in cars
Carissa: Literal record breaking. Fun times.
Lorie (Licornah): ... so we escort Talwin, he's deemed worthy-ish, we twiddle our thumbs and do whatever for weeks?
BOB so OOC ideas and helpful hints for Talwin
Carissa: We see if we get that nice EXP and hopefully some levels for some of us
Carissa: Be nice?
Michael: And be Respectful
Michael: Alexandria seemed nice enough
TMO (Craigh): Zen
Michael: And we followed instructions
Lorie (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)
Carissa: Yes! And hide your sword. Maybe if you "forget it" at the inn she won't want you to destroy it.
BOB 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
BOB and the City visit
Michael: LOL Lorie
BOB and we go CLICK
Michael: Talwin will be honest, becase taht's what he generally does
Michael: I won't say all the time :)
Carissa: lol
Michael: But mostly he tries to not lie. Saves a lot of time and heartache later
Lorie (Licornah): (take a vow of silence... )
Michael: LOL
Michael: The game would get interesting quickly
Michael: in a bad way
Michael: LOL
TMO (Craigh): Lying is fun
Carissa: Stop you from being eaten by a dragon
Carissa: The honesty thing. Not the lying one.
Lisa: not bringing his sword to sword training - lol
Spring: hahaha
Michael: I kind of want to roll my eyes in real life haha
Lorie (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...)
Carissa: it's okay, I offered Lemon N'laeas sword if Reven dies
Michael: So, bringing the Gems to Alexandria, asking how to keep to remaining ones safe, and then begin training.
BOB smiles
Carissa: Oooh and Lemon isn't here so Reven IS taking a vow of silence right now!
Michael: Assuming she is good with me
BOB coughs
Michael: LOL
Michael: He's sulking for the moment
Michael: He'll be back to his violent self any day
Michael: (Does anyone read our interactions? They get crazy)
Michael: lol
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): If you had just killed that Ranger in the first place none of this would have happened
Michael: NOPE
Lisa (Howard Plum): yes - why we think sword is evil
Michael: If it isn't Lemon, didn't happen!
Michael: It IS Eveil
Lorie (Licornah): (I think the sword is CN)
Michael: But Lawful Evil
Michael: Like Jennivieve
Michael: :)
Lorie (Licornah): (That, sir, is not a Lawful anything)
BOB She is CE
Michael: Choatic Evil?
Lisa (Howard Plum): Jenn is chaotic evil
Carissa: Don't worry, I ratted him out
Michael: Well it's evil something, who cares! :)
Michael: As long as I keep feeding it death and destruction he seems happy
BOB LOL
Michael: Perfectly normal relationship
Michael: I swear
Carissa: lol
Lisa (Howard Plum): glad we all agree - so no pretending sword is good
Carissa: haha
Michael: I mean, Talwin can be delusional
Michael: It's fine
Sharif: lol
Michael: Everythign is fine
BOB So the group has agreed to accompany Talwin to visit his potential new master
Licornah: (Nope... that sword should be parted with its soul)
Carissa: Talwin can think the sword isn't evil just like Rae can think she's now BFFs with a dragon
BOB any last words before we click to that meeting?
Michael: Deal!
Spring: [TOWER] [d100 = 68]
BOB Yes to Spring? what was that for?
Michael: Carissa said it first!
TMO (Craigh): rosebud
Raelynn: LOL
Spring: fidgeting
Lisa (Howard Plum): lol
Spring: pretend it means CLACK CLACK CLACK
Carissa (Raelynn): the book I'm currently reading the monster makes that exact noise...
GM: [10d100 = 510]
BOB Like that
Michael: More information Carissa???
Spring: that was heckin
Carissa (Raelynn): Oooh you rolled a 100! Super critical failure or success??
Carissa (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
BOB So the group proceeds to Drakeshead
Shislif: is Drakeshead a resort head?
Spring (Lanek): intriguing, Carissa
BOB the only question is the same say and arrive at sunset? or the next day and arrive at Noon
Michael: I would say quicker is better bob. only because I don't know the rules on these gems
Michael: Don't want to risk it
Carissa (Raelynn): it's a day walk
Howard Plum: Detect Magic
Howard Plum: Magic Missile
BOB half day
Howard Plum: Dimension Door
Howard Plum: Dimension Door
Carissa (Raelynn): (sorry a day round trip)
Michael: (Thank you Howard)
Michael: (Are you okay with that?)
Carissa (Raelynn): (so if we arrive at sunset we... stay the night there? walk back in the dark?)
Michael: Howard and I can actually jump ahead if you want to stay and relax?
Carissa (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
Michael: Seriously, I forget Howard is a badass sometimes.
Michael: He's just a little squishy
Michael: :)
Carissa (Raelynn): just a teeny tiny bit!
Lisa (Howard Plum): huh? I was prepping spells
Michael: Yikes I'm sorry Lisa
BOB chuckles with Lisa
Michael: I thought you were suggesting we could use Dimension Door to get there quick
Michael: I'm sorry
Michael: Just Howard and I due to timeing for the Gems
Lisa (Howard Plum): oh no - not enough range for that - sorry
User has gone AFK. (Spring)
Michael: IAh, I am sorry
Michael: Then I would like to take us there ASAP for the Gems sake
Sharif: how do i get backi nto zayden?
Sharif: into
Sharif: back into
Lisa (Howard Plum): Records then Characters
Sharif: sweet thx!
Carissa (Raelynn): that's fine we just need to prepare for walking at night or camping there
BOB So the group lands at Borts Beach, and immediately heads out towards Drakeshead
Michael: I mean, somewhat safetly bob if possible
Raelynn: Someone owes me an extra salad if we're skipping that tonight!
Michael: 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. (Spring)
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): Or that Elf, she looks sweet, no one would suspect her if I was in her hands
Spring (Lanek): so much for vow of silence
BOB walking along the path towards the lighthouse
Michael: lol
Indigo: There's lotsa gras around here
Michael: I know right!
Indigo: grins
Carissa (Raelynn): Hmm he hasn't gotten the whisper down though so we can't figure out why Michael is arguing with himself
Lisa (Indigo): grass
Michael: I'm out of character!
Michael: right now at least!
Michael: :)
BOB I thought this was a nice touch for the final moments :)
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Michael: And I do it so the group knows that Talwin actively listens to the sword
Spring (Lanek): not like that sounds ominous or anything
Michael: And interacts
Michael: 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
Carissa (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
Lorie (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
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL
Talwin: You are not a Cow?
Reven / Lipthink (giant sword): We need to kill something
Raelynn: Thank you.
Spring (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. (Spring)
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.
Michael (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)
Carissa (Raelynn): (Lemon loves Reven, please don't toss thte sword)
BOB 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
BOB Michael you need a sword
BOB This sword
Talwin: I have a second one
Lisa (Indigo): but but you don't have a sword for training then
Talwin: ?
BOB yes to whoever put that up
Raelynn: No.
Talwin: Uh, I warned everyone?
Talwin: You said she was fine with it?
Carissa: I'm hitting stop.
Lisa (Indigo): you melted your broadword
Talwin: I have a second two handed
Carissa: Reven is part of your character BUT ALSO LEMON'S CHARACTER.
Carissa: 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.
Carissa: Bob needed to clarify that.
TMO (Craigh): Was no one reading that?
Lisa (Indigo): you haven't even seen alexandria yet
User is back. (Spring)
Talwin: I figured she didn't want to play him anymore
Carissa: 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
Carissa: Lemon really enjoys playing Reven.
Talwin: Reven knows my bounds
Talwin: I need to know right now
Carissa: 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
Carissa: It is doubly unfair if it wasn't her talking. So Bob. We need to take that Bob. Sword is not in the ocean.
Carissa: *take that back
Talwin: Sorry Zayden
TMO (Craigh): probably need to just stop the Reven action for a bit
BOB I am in agreement with Carissa the sword is still there in Talwin's hands
Michael (Talwin): This predates you and I'm sorry
Michael (Talwin): language was bad and I apologize
'Lemon' connected
Michael (Talwin): I just have deep feelings on this. Didn't mean to make you uncomfortable
Carissa: It's okay
Shislif (Zayden): Lol no worries sorry for being a prude!
Carissa: (for my end I understand, not speaking for Sharif)
BOB 100% this is a key point in the campaign
Lemon: PERSONAL HOTSPOT
Carissa: SHE IS SUMMONED
TMO (Craigh): HAHAH
Lorie (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
BOB 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.
Michael (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. (Spring)
TMO (Craigh): Michael - you gave warning.
Carissa: 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.
Michael (Talwin): And sorry Lemon. Not sure if this predates you either
Carissa: Yes, you did give warning. And when it wasn't stopped, I hit the button.
Zayden: seems like that was a good call
Carissa: Because I didn't want you to keep going until we all knew exactly what you planned to do.
Shislif (Zayden): OOC
Michael (Talwin): Okay. So the sword is still here. I'd very much like this to stop for now
Carissa: Works fo rme
BOB yes to Michael, this is a very key story point, bend in the Arc
Lorie (Licornah): (So we are stopping for the evening? )
Michael (Talwin): (no, just the sword talk please)
Lemon: No way, I just got here
Carissa: So just Bob sword talk?
Shislif (Zayden): twist!
Michael (Talwin): (I'm really uncomfortable about the sword at the moment. Yes)
Lemon: I don't see how this could be the arc! I found the sword!
Carissa: Ok so the Lemon sword talk as well until you're good again?
Lemon: 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!
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.
BOB That is amazing Lemon by the way
Talwin: I'm so sorry Lemon, can we not talk with Reven tonight? Please?
Lemon: I don't think it's really up to me, honestly
Lemon: Seems like it's a plot point I can't avoid, since it's not really my character
Carissa: None unless prompted by the story arc?
Michael (Talwin): Fine
Talwin: Let's continue for now and just leave it alone for now
Talwin: Thanks :)
Carissa: Hit one of the buttons if you need to later :)
Lisa: I am seeing it as just choices that bob makes us face
Lisa: everyone makes fun of Tiberius - and I have Bran deal with that
Lisa: she's not dumping him because every other character hates him
Lisa: same with Jenn
User is back. (Spring)
Lisa: it's just decisions and choices and those in this case are yours Michael
Lemon: 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
BOB 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
BOB 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
Carissa (Raelynn): (we can always do the Celestry tonight if you prefer)
Shislif (Zayden): oh that seems nice
Lemon: Reven DID say he felt imprisoned, to be fair
BOB 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
BOB NO Michel
BOB Stay please
BOB I know
Lorie (Licornah): Yeah, I think I'm done for the evening...
BOB Trust me
BOB this is a hard story moment
Licornah: this doesn't feel like an adventure that I can contribute anything to.
Lemon: I just got here!
Licornah: Have a great evening
BOB but this is what growth feels like sometimes
BOB I am sorry Lorie
Talwin: Night Lorie. Thank you for joining tonight :)
Lorie: This whole adventure is supposed to be for one character and it's been nothing but teeth gnashing for weeks
Lorie: I feel like I have nothing to give
Talwin: I'm sorry.
Lemon: I feel like Licornah just wants to talk about home but no one knows it
'Lorie' disconnected
Lemon: She needs something to do lol
BOB 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: :)
BOB So do you understand better Michael about the sword?
Lanek: i thought the topic was dropped. can we discuss travel logistics
Lemon: 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
BOB You are there,
BOB With Alexandria
Talwin: I have the Gems
BOB 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
Spring (Lanek): i like the breathing
BOB Michael take a deep breath
Carissa (Raelynn): (you contribute a lot of laughter Sharif, don't discount that)
BOB Yes to Carissa about Sharif
BOB Do not rush this just to get through this
BOB This is Talwin's chance to shine
Shislif (Zayden): lol thx :)
Michael (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
BOB to talk about his drive, his goals, why he needs this training
Talwin: Bows
Raelynn: squeezes his shoulder and whispers, "You got this, Talwin."
BOB and how he intends to be deserving of training with one of the three people on the planet who can do that for him
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
BOB 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
Michael (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 :)
BOB We are honoring Michael's long journey to this point tonight
Michael (Talwin): (Come back if you can :) )
Shislif (Zayden): lol thx :)
Shislif (Zayden): not yet ina bit
Shislif (Zayden): maybe by 8
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
TMO (Craigh): Ii was thinking of it as just another skill
Michael (Talwin): (Talwin is kind of going to say the exact same thing. He can be respectufl, and also blunt. He isn't a diplomat)
Michael (Talwin): (But I will try)
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
Lemon: Yeah, I deeply appreciate Zayden's contributions to the group. Even the pee.
Shislif (Zayden): Tal will prolly come back like a Jedi
Michael (Talwin): (I mean no disrespect, but I'm not sure waht that means :) )
Alexandria: So you decided you want to attempt to prove yourself?
Michael (Talwin): (We can discuss later though)
Talwin: Bows
Shislif (Zayden): lol, lots more pee where that came from :)
Talwin: "We have brought the Gems"
Carissa (Raelynn): ("bio breaks" not pee, only Zayden pees)
BOB LOL
Talwin: "So yes"
Lisa: lol
Michael (Talwin): lol
TMO (Craigh): Craigh is willing to help with phrasing if Talwin wants any advice.
Carissa (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?
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
Carissa (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
Lemon (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
Lemon (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
Lemon (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
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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ok, the "not it" made me for realsies laugh out loud
Lisa (Indigo): lol
Alexandria: So Talwin is this soul inside your sword not worthy of going to his great banquet
TMO (Craigh): hehe
Talwin: Cocks Head
BOB yes to Lemon and full QUOTE to that
Zayden: banquet sounds pretty nice
Carissa (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
Lemon (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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ok ew, i'm not ok with that
Carissa (Raelynn): bad word choice I agree
Shislif (Zayden): kinda sounds like a toxic relationship...
TMO (Craigh): it's supposed to I think
Lemon (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
Lemon (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)
Michael (Talwin): Lol
Talwin: I am almost certain you can hear this conversation
Lemon (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?
Lisa (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.
Carissa (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
Lemon (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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): funeral dirge?
Shislif (Zayden): just some nice background music, seems like an emotional moment
Michael (Talwin): Hey what are bards for :)
Michael (Talwin): I love it :)
Alexandria: Takes the gem and holds it in one hand
Shislif (Zayden): that's what i thought!
Michael (Talwin): emotional moment
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): neeeear, faaaaar, whereeeeever you are something something something something heart will go ooooooonnnnnnn
Alexandria: Give me your sword
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Lemon (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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'll never let go, Jack! er, Talwin!
BOB That is awesome Lemon
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Carissa (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?!
BOB The sword and the three gems go back into the lighthouse
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): so she is the dragon?
BOB everyone is treated to a warm happy dinner
Zayden: yummy
Raelynn: Vatra was strong, powerful, and protective. So why not like a dragon?
BOB You have beds and everything here to keep you overnight
Zayden: did you give her any lotion?
BOB Even Indigo is happy with the meal :)
Raelynn: Vatra? Yes, silly. But I need to make more now.
Craigh: Oh god, a bed...
BOB 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.
Carissa (Raelynn): VIKING WARRIOR?
Spring (Lanek): i hope that good meal included some good ale or wine
Zayden finds the kinks
Spring (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!
BOB warm smile BOWS
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 :)
Lisa (Indigo): lol
Michael (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!
Michael (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
BOB I told you you needed to stay Michael
Michael (Talwin): (Lemon can still "visit" with him though from time to time :) )
Lemon (Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector): I'M HIS GHOST NOW! BOB SAID IT!
Michael (Talwin): lol
Raelynn: But now you
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Carissa (Raelynn): *you'll have to deal with Bixi ghost hunting
Shislif (Zayden): brb
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Michael (Talwin): Against a viking protector?
Michael (Talwin): I mean...
BOB Lemon got a ghost pepper, a ranger, and a ghost for her part of the adventure
Lemon (Lipthink/Reven Viking warrior protector): Plus we still get to go botany hunting or whatever later!
Lisa (Indigo): ghost pepper? Thought it was afire pepper
BOB Ghost Fire Pepper
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): See, when you talk too much, you get stuff, even if it's not your adventure!
Lemon (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.
TMO (Craigh): I did not talk enough, I'm sure
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB It is night Michael those are questions for tomorrow
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, that's why you didn't get a ghost
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Try harder TMO
Michael (Talwin): Ah, okay
BOB you handed over your three gems
BOB they took the other two for safe keeping for you too
BOB But will give them back
Daphene: Should we have a celebration for your lost friend?
Michael (Talwin): (OH! Okay then)
BOB Now is breakfast
Talwin: I would say yes. As I don't think he is seeprated for me forever
BOB 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
Lemon (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
BOB 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
Michael (Talwin): lol
Talwin: Grins
BOB 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!
BOB 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.
BOB no
Bixi Fizzlebang: I know Daph hasn't known Talwin before the sword
Lisa (Indigo): Zayden didn't know Talwin before the sword, right? they were both picked up in giant keep :)
BOB Points to TMO
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, that's what I thought
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But Bixi is drunk
Lemon (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.
BOB WOW you freed one prisoner and just carried the other one around with you for over a DECADE
Lisa (Indigo): lol
Bixi Fizzlebang: You know, I can't even remember why we went there in the first place
TMO (Craigh): We like prisoners?
Indigo: To return the elf cloak
Craigh: After the Chain that was tainting the Elven afterlife
Michael (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.
Carissa (Raelynn): (lol no it was not)
Michael (Talwin): the emptiness
Shislif (Zayden): whoa it's been that long?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): we time-skipped six years
Shislif (Zayden): ah ok
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know how that factors into the math
BOB Not for Talwin your self timing is only months, but you jumped ahead years as Lemon says when you returned
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): because math
Michael (Talwin): Still, four years is a lot! :)
Lisa (Indigo): I don't count the time skip
Carissa (Raelynn): The ones who stayed behind skipped six years. The ones who went it was only two days or so
TMO (Craigh): that 6 years was when we were in the Outer Planes though, right? It wasn't 6 years for us
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): math AND timey wimey
Carissa (Raelynn): It was for Howard, but not anyone else here (minus Daphene)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): no thank you
BOB wibbly wobbly time
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm not drunk enough for that
Michael (Talwin): Also in all seriosness, what was that about the Queen? Very confused.
TMO (Craigh): My comment Michael?
BOB and OOC for the rest of the night
Talwin: Right?
Michael (Talwin): Right?
Michael (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
BOB I am here to answer what questions I can
Carissa: rest of the night? not much more night left
BOB go have a great night Sharif
Michael (Talwin): Night Zayden :)
Carissa: niight Sharif!
Michael (Talwin): Night Carissa :)
Shislif (Zayden): night night see yall next week!
Michael (Talwin): Just cusious about the Queen thing?
Lisa: Goodnight!
Carissa: (I'm still here for a few more minutes, lol, but thanks)
BOB Ask away
Spring: gnite Sharif
'Shislif' disconnected
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I should probably go. I have a headache that is definitely not from crying like a baby, defnitely not
Lisa: awwww
BOB 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
Spring: gnite Lemon!
Talwin: sorry, going OOC
Carissa: night Lemon!
BOB warm tight hugs Lemon
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): goodnight friends!
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
Lisa: Goodnight!
'Lemon' disconnected
Carissa: Technically, there are lots of queens. But there are only three two handed sword masters so she'd be even MORE important.
TMO: it's a metaphor
BOB Queen being Alexandria
Michael: 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
TMO: there are only 3 Masters, you're asking to become the 4th
Michael: OH!
Michael: Okay. I just must have missed that
Michael: Cool!
TMO: We've dealt with enough Queens you thought I was being literal
TMO: understandable
Lisa: how do they know that? Is there a registry?
BOB LOLO with Lisa
TMO: reputation, I assume
Michael: Ugh, Actually I was. Queen of the Swamp, Drillian, Alexandria, Evil Queen, etc
Michael: Losing track
BOB ALexandria mentioned one of the other ones as a barbarian in the north
Michael: So...a lot
Michael: lol
TMO: no problem, sorry I added to the confusion
BOB then she said three, you do not know the third one
Michael: You are fine. Appreciated the comment because I wouldn't have asked and didn't realize
Michael: 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.
BOB I am very glad I could make you so emotionally entangled Michael
Lisa: what you do best Bob
Michael: Uh, yes you did that very well> Thank god it's Lories turn now
Michael: I need a break
Carissa: Lisa's
Carissa: We gonna go to Hell
Michael: Well, we need to include her more
Michael: Sorry
BOB Next week we deal with the City things
Michael: Should have clarified
Lisa: yes
Michael: and City things sounds fun while I am training
BOB and XP and Training and helping Bixi get her herbs
TMO: I sorta went thru mine with Ilero, and he wound up retiring over it. :)
Michael: What should I do during that session bob? Just pop in, or anything I can help with?
Michael: I think Talwin has a lot left in him :)
BOB Yes you are expected to be here Michael
Michael: Expected! Strong words :)
Michael: Yes Headmaster
BOB grins
Carissa: Oh training question
BOB anything
BOB ask away
Carissa: How many weeks does Nlaea get? She's home so I haven't a clue when she technically leveled.
Carissa: She needs to train in NWP and WP
BOB You can check the site to see when this story arc started and then how many weeks for training.... sob
Carissa: hugs for Bob too
Lisa: training usually takes 7 weeks unless you find a high WIS trainer
Carissa: Wasn't it 41 days?
BOB Yes 41 days so far
Michael: Frankly, I don't think there is a wiser trainer, but I could be mistaken
Carissa: And then however long this training takes
Lisa: 9 days in a week
BOB which is 4-5 weeks so far
Carissa: Is that training for just NWP or also for WP?
BOB one slot at a time
Carissa: I'm thinking I'm leaning towards Vet Healing for NWP and another point for bows for WP. I think.
Lisa: no multi-tasking :)
Carissa: lol didn't think so
Carissa: And wasn't sure if she was being dragged to the library or not anymore
BOB We will be clicking off 5 - 8 weeks for Talwin's training
Carissa: But wanted to toss it out there for whatever training she can get now
BOB you do not know yet how wise Alexandria is
Lisa: we can do that quickly
Carissa: Although I'm sure she can get more before Hell during the Hell prep
Lisa: when is that happening
Michael: She made Talwin give up Reven, so I'd say she must have some wisdom LOL But no worries either way
BOB We will be clicking off time the next two sessions
BOB Did anyone expect that ending?
Lisa: I'm just glad at the end of this Talwin can be at peace with it
Michael: Uh, No. I did not
Michael: And I bawled alot
Carissa: Kinda guess for first, and yes to Lisa
Lisa: Was not going to be happy if Michael was going to be dragging regret after it
TMO: If there was foreshadowing, I missed it, but that's not too surprising.
Michael: I feel better knowing he actually is happy and not angry at Talwin's decision. That would have made me truly miserable
Lisa: good
Lisa: then a good ending
Carissa: yes
Michael: So how excited is Branwny going to be for her Gift!
Michael: I am so excited to bring it back to her
Lisa: she will be very surprised and happy
Michael: And after selling the other, we can hopefully make enough to stuff her coffers!
TMO: Have a hot rock that might hatch into a hostile flame lizard!
Michael: (Unless someone else wants it of course)
Michael: Well, Rae would love that
Michael: to be honest
Michael: She would train it
Carissa: We wanna sell it OR do we wannt save it for the next dragon bargining?
Michael: But I think that's classified as a Monster
Michael: So, maybe not
Carissa: Yes please!!
Carissa: lol
Michael: And there you go
Carissa: Although a dragonette is a bit more her size
Lisa: I am not sure we know anyone with the insemination nwp
Michael: If Bob is okay with that, not sure
Carissa: She's like a small poodle person versus a giant shepard
Carissa: lmao
BOB HAH
TMO: Zayden, probably
Lisa: lol
TMO: you know how Bards get
Carissa: lol
Spring: hehe
Michael: 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!
Spring: okay i gotta go, sorry i wasn't more involved today
Michael: You were great Spring :)
Michael: Thanks for tuning in :)
Spring: gnite!
Lisa: good to see you
TMO: Chill Talwin is good! That's kind of what Craigh was advising for.
'Spring' disconnected
Lisa: Goodnight!
TMO: g'nite Spring!
Carissa: night spring!
Michael: Do they have Dragons in Hell?
TMO: maybe
Lisa: no clue
Carissa: and no worries, always happy for you to be here complaining about the eggs ;)
BOB 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
Michael: Well, it's not like Demons will have any less wordplay. Maybe a vow of silence will be good for me
Lisa: are we doing the library heist next week?
Michael: Cool!
Carissa: I thought it was desert after hell.
Carissa: Easier to go from hell to another hell
Michael: Yes!
Michael: Yes Please!
BOB the Desert is the next Era
Michael: Ah
Carissa: Details
Michael: So Talwin will unfortuantely be dead
Michael: That's a shame
Carissa: LOL
BOB My goal is all of the characters feel they are at a good equal point
Michael: Oh come on. None of us will ever Match Branwyn lol
BOB then we start the new Era off on adventures across the desert
Lisa: and then destroy them?
Michael: Visit new people, and then kill them
BOB We will see who surives Hell first
Michael: That's...ominous
Michael: And unfortuante
Lisa: hell is going to be easy peasy
Carissa: I've made it this far so far
Michael: Somehow Talwin has too
Lisa: we're usually going to take stuff
Michael: And Loot the SHit out of it Right?
Lisa: this trip we're bring them stuff
Lisa: what could possibly go wrong?
TMO: would be ironic to do so many character variations to wind up at Fives just for him to die out there. :)
