GM: Hello Lisa

MadamePsychosis: Hello :)

'mharmon1' connected

Talwin: Hey Everyone!!!

GM: Hey there Michael

MadamePsychosis: Hi Michael :)

MadamePsychosis: When I open the chat log explorer there are no chats to choose from

GM: Click the upper left corner circle

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm here at 5, but frantically catching up on the site. I took one hour out of my PTO to beat traffic. Unfortuantely i'm in Phoenix at the moment :(

mharmon1 (Talwin): Also High haha

GM: grins

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hi, not High. Sigh

mharmon1 (Talwin): wow

GM: You are at least 1,000 feet above me Michael

MadamePsychosis: the circle arrows creat an error for the log

GM: oh?

MadamePsychosis: lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sure, let's go with that one lol

GM: I do not see that Lisa

MadamePsychosis: At leat Phoenix has Internet

MadamePsychosis: I don't need FG for chat logs - just saying

mharmon1 (Talwin): Actually, I have my own starlink now, so that excuse is dead thank god

mharmon1 (Talwin): and it works wonders let me tell you

GM: Michael please try out the chat log history

mharmon1 (Talwin): the things I do to play with Bob and you guys :) I mean, also large downloads and stuff

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sure bob. Right now? on the site?

GM: Menus -> chatlog History

GM: and hit the refresh circle in the upper left of the dialog box

mharmon1 (Talwin): Er, I have a Chat log explorer, but no history.

mharmon1 (Talwin): I did pull that up and refresh

mharmon1 (Talwin): got a scripting error

MadamePsychosis: oh error says only available on host

GM: Thank you

GM: I will ask about that

GM: It might be a 2e thing,

mharmon1 (Talwin): I did get a lot of other things before it scripted though

mharmon1 (Talwin): if that helps

mharmon1 (Talwin): Do you want me to screenshot?

GM: No thanks

mharmon1 (Talwin): KK

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey bob. Dumb question, but our current group (the dragonslayers today) are doing the desert story right?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I know that's the cart before the horse...

GM: At this point we don't know

mharmon1 (Talwin): If I don't get to use Talwin's cool abilities, I might cry

MadamePsychosis: Indigo wants to do the dessert story :P

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): thanks lisa haha

mharmon1 (Talwin): Maybe we'll find a reason that we gotta go. Or not, either or

MadamePsychosis: we have a desert quest

GM: Yes

mharmon1 (Talwin): Do we have to you know...if we do reroll characters for a "new era" do we have to start at the bottom again?

MadamePsychosis: we got that scroll from the frozen tower

MadamePsychosis: lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thats right! Damn, your memory is much better then mine

MadamePsychosis: you didn't start from the bottom

GM: and the developer has already said that it was not supposed to be visible to players

GM: and I asked if it could be

MadamePsychosis: wait til he tells us we have to create 1st level characters

mharmon1 (Talwin): Right, but I mean, like all over again. You get it right?

mharmon1 (Talwin): <Shudder>

MadamePsychosis: it was fun everyone had simgle digit hps :D

mharmon1 (Talwin): He'd die before we got back to our current levels (no offense bob, you aren't that old)

GM: Right now I am at the 1 - current group get back to Dragon Fen 2 - full group gets everything done with Hell

GM: THEN I will have two or three options

mharmon1 (Talwin): OK. Thank you :)

GM: I have several ideas, including combining ideas :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Also that wasn't an age thing on you seriously, it was a LIsa takes years to level up characters :)

'springdew' connected

GM: Zero worries Michael, it is only 30 years so far, we have at least 25 more

MadamePsychosis: are you saying I'm not in my prime, Don? lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): snort

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

GM: Hello Spring

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hi Spring! :)

MadamePsychosis: Hi Spring! :)

MadamePsychosis: but yes it took Branwyn from 2010 to 2023 to get from 1st to 13th level

mharmon1 (Talwin): :) yeah....

Springity Thingity: hi hi

Springity Thingity: she started at 1st?

GM: We would have to double check but I think that either Lisa or Lorie has the highest level character ever

GM: I know two or three got to 12th, not sure if one ever got to 13th before Branwyn

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well that settles it...I'll be here forever to get past 13. I mean, I know Lisa will at least, but gotta beat that mark :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Lorie too probably

GM: chuckles

MadamePsychosis: yes the DS group that started in 2010 all started with 1st level characters

mharmon1 (Talwin): Man, 2010....I graduated High School...

GM: chuckles

mharmon1 (Talwin): Why does it feel like a literal lifetime ago...

GM: The original story arc was a Beer Run.... back in 1993

mharmon1 (Talwin): So...I was 1

GM: Nice

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Springity Thingity: hehehe

mharmon1 (Talwin): I was with you in spirit...I guess. I said, hey, in a couple decades I'll be with that group of cool cats...

MadamePsychosis: lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): or screamed. Mother says

Springity Thingity: hahahaha

MadamePsychosis: lol

'seyfert' connected

GM: Hello Carissa

Talwin: Hey Carissa!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey Carissa!

Springity Thingity: hi Carissa!

MadamePsychosis: Hi Carissa :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey bob? Does the Knockdown chance occur automatically in the background for Fantasy Grounds?

seyfert: So many things loading....

GM: No it does not Michael

mharmon1 (Talwin): So we roll that per round?

seyfert: Okay there we are I think. Hi all!

GM: Per attack

mharmon1 (Talwin): So, knockdown dice is d10 for Talwins level I think

mharmon1 (Talwin): Do I roll that every time I also roll an attack?

GM: It is not per level it is weapon type

GM: and yes

mharmon1 (Talwin): OK. I'm trying to read up on new rules taht will apply

mharmon1 (Talwin): TY

GM: Spring do you feel like Lanek is caught up on his sheet?

Springity Thingity: i believe so

Springity Thingity: i had that opinion last week, i can double check now

GM: I just want to make sure you are happy with his status

Branwyn: Polymorph Other

Branwyn: Identify

Branwyn: Magic Missile

Branwyn: Continual Light

Branwyn: Glitterdust

Branwyn: Knock

Branwyn: Fireball

Branwyn: Branwyn cast a spell NOT memorized.

Branwyn: sorry all spell changes going in chat

GM: No worries Lisa

Branwyn: Bob - it says I can only memorize 2 5th level spells instead of 4

springdew (Lanek Olenak): so in theory, he could have backstabbed with his hand axe at any point. he didn't really need a knife, right?

springdew (Lanek Olenak): but now he's got a knife, so that should be more elegant anyway

GM: Cannot backstab with a handaxe

Branwyn: Branwyn cast a spell NOT memorized.

springdew (Lanek Olenak): well okay then, glad to have a knife!

GM: I am willing to rethink that

GM: but officially it is not on the list

springdew (Lanek Olenak): okay i don't see the list on inventory, will have to look on the site

Lanek Olenak: anyway, i am satisfied with L

springdew (Lanek Olenak): anyway, i am satisfied with L

Lanek Olenak: effin hell

GM: huckles

mharmon1 (Talwin): You okay TMO?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Also Hi :)

GM: HAH

Springity Thingity: points and laughs

springdew (Springity Thingity): test

GM: Yeap

Branwyn: wow it's been a long time since I memorized for Branwyn

MadamePsychosis: I can't memorize all 4 slots for 5th level though - can only do 2

GM: Hmmm I know there is a fix for that Lisa

Branwyn: so on the record for 1 telekinesis and 1 monster summoning in case I need them

MadamePsychosis: the other 2 are teleport

mharmon1 (Talwin): Life's Archive has been updated LIsa :)

MadamePsychosis: :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Also I'm here, just reading if anyone needs me. I'm paying attention

GM: and word from the developer of that Chat extension.... will be hard, as the chat log does not exist on the players side

mharmon1 (Talwin): Can there be resources shared? Like a refresh every 20 minutes that shares an updated file?

GM: I can on my side, wry grin

GM: BUT we will see what happens

Talwin: LOL. OK :)

GM: for now we want to make sure that Carissa, Michael and Spring are happy with chracter sheets

GM: And then Lisa will do some more Roleplay

mharmon1 (Talwin): Mine does not say what Master I am at as far as I can tell, but I think I am getting the bonuses

mharmon1 (Talwin): Where do I verify that?

seyfert: I don't know. Probably. It has been a very long week. I was happy last week.

GM: I will look it over Michael for actualgame mechanic parts before your next combat

GM: Grins

GM: Thank you Carissa

mharmon1 (Talwin): No worries. Then I assume my character sheet is fine honestly

GM: and thank you Spring

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean, it looks right

MadamePsychosis: oh sometime I want to identify monocle that spell ring

MadamePsychosis: before hell

GM: There was good Roleplay on the site if you missed it Springng and n Michael

mharmon1 (Talwin): Reading right now :)

GM: and you can do that before going to Dryads Lair Lisa or after your choice

Springity Thingity: :-) i missed it. will look when i get a chance

seyfert (N'laea): (quiver too please!)

GM: Shiver also?

GM: Hmmm or would that be a wiggle alos

MadamePsychosis: does N'laea still want to go on library heist with Bran and Jenn?

MadamePsychosis: we can do that at the Inn in the sunlight if you want to do it there

mharmon1 (Talwin): Steal the Drillian Declaration of Independence while youa re there

GM: LOL

MadamePsychosis: lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

seyfert: Sure if you want and have room

seyfert: (sorry cat distraction)

seyfert: She was mostly just going to meet Fives whenever that happens

MadamePsychosis: that would be on return from DL since no one at home knows Fives exists

GM: I am happy to do various roleplay bits and pieces and then parse them back into a correct timeline afterwards

MadamePsychosis: we have to get to DL to know

GM: Plus it helps to have TMO in when Fives is invovled

seyfert: Correct so however you think this'll work best for Bran - if that means N'laea joins to also find out that works for me

MadamePsychosis: works for me

seyfert: We don't need TMO. It's easy enough to be him.

MadamePsychosis: errrr

seyfert: "Math. Math math MATH math!"

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

MadamePsychosis: I need TMO

Springity Thingity: heh

GM: So Jenn is 140, The two ambassadors are a total of 275

GM: to make things easy

seyfert: I thought you meant age and was going to say that explains a lot for her....

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

GM: heh

MadamePsychosis: we're fine we have a 700 lb limit

GM: so N'alea is ???

GM: ok

GM: so they get a 200 pound luggage limit?

MadamePsychosis: 50 gp per bag

N'laea: You know we calculated her weight before and I don't think it transferred over... I think she was about 120?

GM: Without TMO how will we know how much that equals>?>?>

GM: grins

N'laea: "Math!!"

mharmon1 (Talwin): It's like trying to figure out the take-off limit for a private airplane....

seyfert (N'laea): (disclaimer: knockoff TMO does not come with math skills)

GM: 735 is the total so far

seyfert (N'laea): so who's gonna lose a leg here so we can all fit?

GM: If they each get 100 pounds of luggage

GM: and remember that is N'alea and Jenn going with only clothes, no weapons, armor etc

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh Carissa, i'm almost positive you've taken Calc 1, probably up to Diff Calc. You are smarter at math then I will ever be.

seyfert (N'laea): admittedly I don't give myself credit, I actually do like math and can do it, but my brain refuses after 7 PM

GM: Oh just watch how fast you can break Carissa,

seyfert (N'laea): (so maybe not N'laea to make it easier for you, Lisa?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): I took Calc 1 and thanked my professor for the C. And then I went into Software Architecture so suck it University of Utah

GM: If one dove is painted pink, how many other pigeons will be infected with flu inside of two weeks?

seyfert (N'laea): (not sure if they need just clothes?)

seyfert: People are idiots.

GM: See

seyfert: But yes this is going to be a bad spring

GM: But seriously all five can go, just have to reduce to 50 instead of 100 as Lisa said

mharmon1 (Talwin): It just takes me longer to learn the advanced stuff, but school is so expensive, that I couldn't affrod to retake course after course for the enginnering program. Sucks all around. But I like how I turned out, so I'm fine

GM: Jenn is happy with just her robes,

GM: I like how you turned out Michael

seyfert: lol agree

seyfert: to bothg

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): Aw, thanks :)

GM: Everytime I talk about the game and say Michael said this... Nyrma goes "oh is he the nice one?"

mharmon1 (Talwin): No. Only sometimes...

MadamePsychosis: oh no the 50 gp per bag was the baggage fee for flying Branwyn airlines

GM: LOL Lisa

seyfert: Michael is, Talwin... has his moments ;)

Springity Thingity: THE nice ONE

mharmon1 (Talwin): Did you tell her I almost strangled a peasant?

seyfert: LOL

GM: Chuckles, Michael is the nice one, TMO is the big one

mharmon1 (Talwin): I now try to be more zen.

mharmon1 (Talwin): He is super tall

GM: and that will be good for you Michael, play Talwin as a newly changed, more calm master now that the sword is not encouraging bloodshed

mharmon1 (Talwin): God I can't wait for setpember

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL Bob :)

'Master TMO' connected

GM: SO here is TMO

MadamePsychosis: yay!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey TMO. Will the real TMO please stand up?

Springity Thingity: hi TMO!

GM: so now Lisa and Carissa can do the roleplay and blink to Dryads Lair

'LemonyLemon' connected

GM: and there is Lemon!

MadamePsychosis: Hi TMO :)

GM: Huzzah

MadamePsychosis: Hi Lemon :)

GM: So as they get adjusted

seyfert: Hi Lemon and TMO!

LemonyLemon: Hello!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey Lemon!

GM: Let us go with Branwyn and N'laea back in Dragon Fen outside the Manor House along the streets of Otterville talking

GM: About what this upcoming trip will be like

N'laea: I have never been to Dryads Lair.

Branwyn: You will likely hate it

GM: the camera pans out over the tops of the Valoris Wood, down over the wizard tower, across the moat, down the path through a small hamlet to an open field with two women walking

Branwyn: laughs

N'laea: nods

Branwyn: It is a large city full of buildings and people

N'laea: At least it will be a shorter time there than how long the others plan to spend.

N'laea: No trees?

Branwyn: Oh there are some for decoration but you need to move to the outskirts to really feel any nature

N'laea: Hmm. Well I am happy to help you as needed, but I hope we will be quick.

Running to catch up

Dahlia Branadarus: Mom Mom,

Dahlia Branadarus: Where are you going?

Branwyn: Dahlia hello!

Branwyn: smiles

Slows down from running to walk slower with the adults

Branwyn: Just a quick trip to Dryads Lair to drop off the new ambassadors

Dahlia Branadarus: No No NO! You said the last one was a quick trip

Dahlia Branadarus: You were gone for EVER

Master TMO: almost here....

Branwyn: I won't be gone longer than a couple of days

Dahlia Branadarus: You can't go without me

Dahlia Branadarus: I will tell the Queen

Branwyn: I'm staying on this plane. No more of that funny time stuff. I promise!

Branwyn: She's the one that wants me to take them

Master TMO: here!

Dahlia Branadarus: I can go too then

seyfert (N'laea): (echo!)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Hi TMO

Branwyn: Oh baby, I don't have any room

Dahlia Branadarus: I am NOT a baby anymore!

STOMPS

Branwyn: I have to take their luggage and Jennevive

Dahlia Branadarus: I can do things

mharmon1 (Talwin): (I will tell the queen?)

Cantrips up a small flower

Branwyn: I know you can! But you are my baby still

Branwyn: claps

mharmon1 (Talwin): (that's like running to one parent when the first says no)

Branwyn: That is beautiful!

frowns and smiles at the same time

Dahlia Branadarus: But

Dahlia Branadarus: Thank you

Dahlia Branadarus: I have been working on them

Branwyn: Demi has to stay home too

Dahlia Branadarus: Jilly likes them for the dinner table

Dahlia Branadarus: of COURSE he does, he is just a kid

N'laea: Tiberius is not coming.

Master TMO: ages?

Branwyn: You can get your father to do all the things you want him too but can

Branwyn: can't becuase I'm home

mharmon1 (Talwin): AFK (10 Min)

Dahlia Branadarus: He made us promise not to tell you

Branwyn: smiles

Branwyn: That doesn't mean I don't have a good idea about them

Dahlia Branadarus: OH I need to see Kenna, she has some goop for Jilly

Dahlia Branadarus: I will see you later mom

Dahlia Branadarus: RUNS ahead

Branwyn: Okay. Run along then

Branwyn: laughs

Branwyn: And that didn't last long

N'laea: Still an age with short attention spans.

N'laea: How long does that usually last for humans?

Master TMO: does it ever end?

Branwyn: Anyway N'laea, we have to take the ambassadors to their new home and then hopefully the next morning we can pop into the Royal Library

seyfert (N'laea): nope!

N'laea: nods

Branwyn: Depends on the person

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): to the above

Branwyn: Jennevive said she would see what she could find out at the Celestry so between the two I hope we can get some solid answers for the trip to hell

Digging in the dirt to the southwest corner of the intersection of the center square of Otterville

N'laea: Yes. Finding out more so we can prepare for that will be worth the trip.

Looks up

N'laea: And this Jennevive is... helpful?

Jennevive: Find out what?

Branwyn: About hell of course

Branwyn: Jennevive, this is N'laea

N'laea: nods a hello

Jennevive: Too hot or too cold depending on your preferences

Branwyn: N'Laea this is Jennevive

Jennevive: and Hmmmm

Branwyn: N'Laea is coming with us

Jennevive: You are the Elven Ranger that thinks to replace Shi

N'laea: Replace Shi? No.

Master TMO: (on the nose! :P )

seyfert (N'laea): Shhhhhhh

Jennevive: OH do not dismiss it so quickly...

Jennevive: Younger

Jennevive: Prettier

N'laea: raises a brow

Jennevive: Fewer deaths on your hands

N'laea: Older. I would not think so. And certainly not.

Master TMO: (so far...)

Jennevive: I think that you underestimate your powers

N'laea: No. I know it. But I do not think you can compare us except for being elves.

Jennevive: Shi was very responsible for so many meeting an untimely end

Branwyn: Jenn ...

Master TMO: (All Elves are Alike has entered the chat...)

Jennevive: But I can see why you want to be ...

seyfert (N'laea): lol

N'laea: That you know of, but you do not know my history to judge it.

N'laea: And you only know part of hers.

Jennevive: I am always so entertained by the people that Branwyn brings into my orbit

Jennevive: It is another reason to love her

N'laea: She has been a good, unexpected friend. It is why I'm willing to help her.

Branwyn: I live to entertain you

Jennevive: Enough to go to Hell for her? (to N'laea)

Jennevive: Warm smile and blows a kiss to Branwyn

N'laea: She faced a goddess for me.

Jennevive: But only one

N'laea: Only one that revealed themselves.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Is 1 not enough???

Master TMO: Jenn doesn't deal in 'enough'

Branwyn: How many goddesses would you like me to encounter?

GM: Hello Lemon, hope you are enjoying the introduction to Jennevive

mharmon1 (Talwin): 00N, the god is not enough...

Jennevive: I would hope you want to become one

Branwyn: laughs

Jennevive: So many young boys and girls have called me

LemonyLemon: She seems like she has a lot in common with other NPCs

LemonyLemon: In that she instantly annoys me

seyfert (N'laea): lol

seyfert (N'laea): she is definitely a character

seyfert (N'laea): and definitely an evil alignment

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talwin has entered the chat about strangling...

mharmon1 (Talwin): She's EVIL

seyfert (N'laea): lol

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): but she has been extremely helpful at times ...

Jennevive: I do need to speak with you Branwyn after we get back

seyfert (N'laea): yes very much

Branwyn: Of course

seyfert (N'laea): so she excels there over other NPCs ;)

Jennevive: I have given Branadarus some things to find for me

Master TMO: funny how she never showed up when Brer was here ;)

mharmon1 (Talwin): That she has....I can't say she's not entertaining. Some of my most memorable, if uncomfortable moments :)

seyfert (N'laea): he can return whenever he wants...

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): But I've grown fond of Lanek....

Branwyn: I'm sure he would be happy to help

mharmon1 (Talwin): and his wise ways...

Jennevive: Slides a bag of dirt into her belt pouch

mharmon1 (Talwin): I've got a Bag of Dirt!

Branwyn: frowns

Jennevive: Do you know when you will be leaving for Dryads Lair?

Branwyn: As soon as everyone is ready

Master TMO: any of my former PCs can return at any time Bob wants them.

Jennevive: Then I will make sure I am ready in two days

Branwyn: Why are you digging around in my dirt, by the way?

mharmon1 (Talwin): It's what YOU want TMO :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Giving back some friendly advice you always give me :)

Jennevive: I needed some dirt with the blood of a loyal servant who was wronged

seyfert (N'laea): Michael is the nice one here after all

mharmon1 (Talwin): Shh, I have a reputration to maintain

Branwyn: Here?

Branwyn: sighs

Master TMO: They all retired at perfectly logical places in their stories for me. If Bob wants to involve them in a new story, he just has to say so. :)

Branwyn: I will speak with Nevin

Jennevive: There was an accolyte that was here in the square and then was hit by a farmer with a rake because he would not bless the beer he was brewing

Branwyn: shakes her head

mharmon1 (Talwin): Pff. Pretty soon Talwin will start building out the Protectorate and igniting the fires of industy (although the forests wont fall), all of your characters should come enjoy the protectorate :)

Master TMO: the only one lacking anything was Marisu, and the problem there is that she should have been the main PC, not a side-character. nothing wrong with anything other than that.

Branwyn: Why wouln't he give a blessing?

Jennevive: This will make a very nice component for an Anger spell

mharmon1 (Talwin): Could always use a Brer around the Mists....

Jennevive: He was abstaining

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Master TMO: Ilero and Shur are here, Marisu has her own county to run, and Brer is off hunting vampires. :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Branwyn: All right. We shall see you in two days at the Inn

mharmon1 (Talwin): It was always his passion...

Jennevive: How long will we be gone?

Master TMO: His Mission. Capital M. Raison d'Etre (hope I'm using that right)

Branwyn: Abstaining from blessings - maybe he deserved a rake - she murmured

Jennevive: I really hope my old room is available

Branwyn: Just a few days. Get the ambassadors settled, go to the library, Celestry and then back home

mharmon1 (Talwin): Who here will argue? It sounds right to me :)

Jennevive: I hope you can handle the library on your own,

Branwyn: I'm sure I can. N'laea will be with me and perhaps my travelling friends will have made it to the city

Branwyn: I thought you wanted to go though

Jennevive: GOD I wish we had the time to tie Agatha up and teach her a lesson

mharmon1 (Talwin): Darn dogs. I love them, but man they have the worst timing. Be back in a few. Pretend I'm saying something witty every now and then

Branwyn: laughs

Jennevive: You and I could have so much fun with her

Branwyn: She will get her lessons as she goes

Jennevive: But I need to do research in the Celestry

Branwyn: Good

Jennevive: I do not have time to tie you up

Branwyn: I'd like to see you try

Jennevive: So would I

Branwyn: laughs again

warm wicked smile

Branwyn: See you at the Inn Jennevive

Jennevive: I will see you in two days

Branwyn: Come on N'Laea

Walks off towards the lighthouse to the east

N'laea: You have a fascinating relationship with her.

Master TMO: I hope Jilly's little poison on Jenn has worn off

seyfert (N'laea): oh forgot about that

N'laea: WAIT

Branwyn: I lived with her for more than a year and we have saved each other many times through that time

seyfert (N'laea): (ooc)

seyfert (N'laea): I FORGOT AND TMO REMEMBERED??

GM: warm smile

Master TMO: *I* remembered something Carissa didn't???

Master TMO: (you beat me to typing it

seyfert (N'laea): wth is going on with me today??

N'laea: nods

GM: love you both

N'laea: Those kind of bonds can certainly evolve into something interesting. It is good you have someone you can rely on.

Branwyn: I wouldn't go that far.

Branwyn: She enjoys the chaos that seems to follow me and I believe we respect each other's power

N'laea: Ah. So reliable but only under specific circumstances and conditions?

Branwyn: Yes. I don't trust her completely, but sometimes she is extraordinarily handy to have around

Branwyn: I think hell and her will get along nicely

N'laea: That is good to know. So she is going to hell as well?

Branwyn: I hope so

GM: LOL

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): :)

springdew (Lanek Olenak): has anyone said anything about making sure we have a handbasket?

seyfert (N'laea): way back when but always a good reminder!

springdew (Lanek Olenak): large enough to hold everyone?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

GM: brb getting drinks then will be ready to jump to Dryads Lair

MadamePsychosis: Lemon - did you pick a spell?

LemonyLemon: Um, no, this week has been A WEEK, I have done nothing

MadamePsychosis: sorry :(

LemonyLemon: I need to pick a mage spell?

GM: I think that is the best thing to work on next

LemonyLemon: I mean illusionist?

LemonyLemon: Either/or?

GM: One spell from the school of Illusion

GM: You get for free

seyfert (N'laea): Rainbow Pattern OR a completely new spell (would have to look to see what else it could be)

MadamePsychosis: this is really your shot to get something that if you didn't get it for free would take weeks and 1000s og gold to try to research

LemonyLemon: Pretty sure Carissa sent me a list somewhere?

seyfert (N'laea): Not for 4th level spells

seyfert (N'laea): Probably in the mage book or something?

Lanek Olenak: hi Lemon! i missed you coming in

springdew (Lanek Olenak): sigh

MadamePsychosis: I always tried to pick stuff I hadn't seen in scrolls etc

LemonyLemon: Oh! I have a computer that can do things now! I can probably load modules!!!!!

seyfert (N'laea): LOL

GM: grins

LemonyLemon: Now I just need to remember how...

seyfert (N'laea): Menus -> Modules

mharmon1 (Talwin): back. sorry about that

seyfert (N'laea): what do you mean? you had some great witty comments a minute ago

springdew (Lanek Olenak): hahaha

LemonyLemon: Ok yeah this thing is not helpful

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Master TMO: I'm pulling up my spellbook thingy I can share over discord with Lemon if she wants me to

seyfert (N'laea): yeah that might work better

MadamePsychosis: p 247 of the pdf of Book 4 has illusion spells p 1110 of the book itself

MadamePsychosis: the Compendium

mharmon1 (Talwin): (LINK)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Permission to update this page later bob

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Don't inturrupt game, just asking for later note)

MadamePsychosis: think the Dragon Fen page might work differently than the Protectorate unless you wanted to add for Dragon Fen itself

mharmon1 (Talwin): just reviwing. but thank you :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): It might be better

mharmon1 (Talwin): your suggestion

MadamePsychosis: is a Bob question really - when I opened the link I didn't see Protectorate stuff so am thinking it is separate?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I only saw Protectorate Supplies

mharmon1 (Talwin): But Talwin is essentially running a barony with Spring

mharmon1 (Talwin): but i did inturrupt the game and I apologize

MadamePsychosis: we are paused at the moment until we go back to IC - no worries

mharmon1 (Talwin): Just was trying to take stock of current situation and planning for future...so unlike me! :)

MadamePsychosis: lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): We really should get rid of the potion of Certain death...

GM: I think that the Protectorate is part of Dragon Fen so it should be under that accounting but also separate

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mostly pretend that we send all of our taxes and stuff to Branwny if that helps

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Taking stock of what we have at the Protectorate, vs what we can obtain here

MadamePsychosis: haven't had an edition of weird game plot description in a while so here goes: Birth is an adventure puzzle game about constructing a creature from spare bones & organs found around the city in order to quell your loneliness. Solve physics-based puzzles & discover secrets in lovingly hand-drawn museums, bakeries, bookstores and more.

mharmon1 (Talwin): We have 7 Potions of HEALTH, by gods, why don't we take some of those with us!

MadamePsychosis: You comb a city looking for spare organs?

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm...not sure how to respond to that Lisa

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

MadamePsychosis: potions of health are for poison and not healing but yes we should take some

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thank you for that clarification

Talwin: Bob seriously, am I distracting? Do we all need to be doing something?

Talwin: Bob seriously, am I distracting? Do we all need to be doing something?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob seriously, am I distracting? Do we all need to be doing something?

springdew (Lanek Olenak): we should rename them potions of anti-poison or something

mharmon1 (Talwin): third time is the charm

GM: I am in chat with TMO and Lemon

Talwin: Ah okay. I feel less guilty now :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah okay. I feel less guilty now :)

GM: Making sure that Lemon is working on spells

MadamePsychosis: so we can continue to discuss looking for bones and organs to make a creature so we won't be lonely any more

GM: I am ready for Carissa and Lisa

seyfert: just now reading chat and thought Lisa was putting up another guest DM idea and was a little more concerned about a bone and organ creature adventure versus roomba...

springdew (Lanek Olenak): and i'm doing my they-pay-me job :-P

GM: Lisa do you have Shadow Monsters

MadamePsychosis: no

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean...do we get extra XP for building a creature?

GM: There we go that is the new Bixi Spell

MadamePsychosis: lol

MadamePsychosis: I have monster summoning so it's different

MadamePsychosis: good

GM: and out

GM: and here

seyfert: lol michale

mharmon1 (Talwin): Man, 139 Greek Scrolls we stil lhave not identified.

MadamePsychosis: we need to sell those

mharmon1 (Talwin): Or sell them

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

MadamePsychosis: we don't have any greek priests

seyfert: ....yet

GM: so Lemon is better with spells

MadamePsychosis: no more priests!

GM: and we are back to Branwyn in Dragon Fen

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh yeah, we can't forget the Chalice of Charon for hell. I'd hate to forfiet that irony

MadamePsychosis: yes I wanted to bring it just in case

MadamePsychosis: you never know!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Anyways, sorry lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): go ahead bob :)

LemonyLemon: Ok how do I update myself now?

LemonyLemon: What do I need to do?

GM: N'laea and Branwyn discussing

GM: Then when ready we CLICK for them to Teleport to Dryads Lair and the Ambassadors Residence

GM: into the court yard

mharmon1 (Talwin): Whatever else happens, Talwin gets to give Bran her present. That is all for this public announcement

GM: At a minimum Howard, Indigo would want to bed down there, it is the Drillian Ambassador's Residence and they both lived there before

GM: So Lisa and Carissa both have characters there in addition to the NPCs

GM: plus perhaps others

Branwyn: I would think Talwin would be there

GM: That makes sense

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Are we matching times?)

seyfert (N'laea): he's allowed a short break

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Later?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Then i'm so excited

mharmon1 (Talwin): like, 4 weeks excited

GM: Squishy time over 7 months

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): and Bixi and Daphene since they don't know anyone in the city

GM: There you go Lemon

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Not sure about Raelynn or Craigh

GM: Rae I would say no

seyfert (N'laea): awww

GM: same with Youtargim, as he is with Rae or her mother

seyfert (N'laea): lol of course

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Lanek would be at the house with us

GM: Yes

GM: So everyone is ready?

Master TMO: yep

springdew (Lanek Olenak): yep

GM: I will ping the Discord to let them know also

GM: as Lisa and Carissa RP out the going to the Inn and Teleport

seyfert (N'laea): (and good - one less character for me to juggle. they can be getting their nails done)

mharmon1 (Talwin): And then we will all mostly be with Bran at the house

mharmon1 (Talwin): right?

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol Carissa

GM: for new characters who have never done this sort of magic before

N'laea: I always miss the sun.

GM: and likely have not see the sun in years

mharmon1 (Talwin): Unless they visited the Inn...

Branwyn: that is one thing the city has

LemonyLemon: Wait, am I good on my character sheet? I don't know how to know

N'laea: Good.

Master TMO (Craigh): do you have the spell in your actions now?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob, should we help Lemon first?

N'laea: It is hard to adjust to this.

Branwyn: I know. Going out in the sun will be fine. It's coming back that is the hard part

N'laea: nods

GM: Lemon, Bixi will not KNOW this spell yet, she will be learning it in the Residence when Branwyn shows up

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, that's fine, I just want to make sure that's all I needed to do? Pick the spell?

N'laea: Oh. Will you be able to look at the quiver again? Although perhaps we should wait until we return and do not have company.

Dahlia Branadarus: I am here!

Branwyn: We can do it before we leave or when we get to the city. We would have more privacy there I think

Branwyn: Hello Dahlia. Come to see us off?

N'laea: Ah. Good point.

Dahlia Branadarus: I am going with you

Branwyn: No you are not. We discussed this

Dahlia Branadarus: Yes you told me no

Dahlia Branadarus: That is not a discussion

Branwyn: Which means no

Dahlia Branadarus: Jennevive taught me that

Dahlia Branadarus: Consent is important

Master TMO (Craigh): Kids. Can't live with 'em, can't sell 'em to the circus

Dahlia Branadarus: I did not agree

seyfert (N'laea): ....or can you....?

Master TMO (Craigh): I've tried. No go.

Branwyn: And you do not have my consent to go and so that is the end of that

Dahlia Branadarus: Did you know she can tie fourteen different knots?

Branwyn: It does not surprise me in the slightest

Jennevive: I only taught you fourteen different ones

'Shislif' connected

Dahlia Branadarus: I just want to go on an adventure

Branwyn: But you must go home because if you cross the gate into the Inn you will get sick

Branwyn: Have your father take you on an adventure while I'm gone

Jennevive: I am forced to agree with your mother that she does have the final word

Jennevive: See

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talwin will let her ride him like a pony if she's casting spells while he slashes people to tiny bits...

Jennevive: She says you need to go on an adventure

'LorieD' connected

Jennevive: Go talk with your father, and go off to the goblin caves

Jennevive: You will have a great adventure

Branwyn: smiles

GM: hello Lorie and Sharif

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hey guys! :)

Shislif: hello hello :)

seyfert (N'laea): hi guys

Branwyn: Only if you are with your brother, father and the cats

Dahlia Branadarus: But Demi gets to fight goblins

Dahlia Branadarus: I want to explore

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Hi Lorie and Sharif!

Dahlia Branadarus: Oh OH OH!!!!!

Dahlia Branadarus: Yes

Dahlia Branadarus: YES!

Dahlia Branadarus: I get to take the cats

Shislif: hi :)

Dahlia Branadarus: LOVE you Mom

Branwyn: Love you too precious!

N'laea: Be nice to them.

Dahlia Branadarus: Demi has to admit to that

Watches her turn and run off

Jennevive: So

Branwyn: She is getting unmanageable. If she snuck in and grabbed me she would have blown the spell

Jennevive: I am

Jennevive: Uncertain

Jennevive: Children are chaotic

Jennevive: perhaps Red and I should have

Branwyn: laughs

mharmon1 (Talwin): that's a thought best left unexplored :)

seyfert (N'laea): lol

Branwyn: Your children would have been most interesting

springdew (Lanek Olenak): hahahaha

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol Michael

Jennevive: So N'laea are you ready to go brave Hell?

Jennevive: At least your version of it

N'laea: It will prepare me for actual Hell.

Jennevive: I think the City will be worse for you

N'laea: It could be.

Jennevive: Agatha, this is N'laea the person ... well Elf... that will be joining us on our trip

Licornah: (Evening all...sorry was just loading )

seyfert (N'laea): nods a hello

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Hi Lorie :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hi Lorie!

N'laea: nods a hello

Jennevive: You should learn from her, there will be more like her outside of the city

Jennevive: North beyond the wall, where horrible things live

GM: Agatha nods slowly

N'laea: Those keeps out the unwanted visitors

Branwyn: Oh stop!

GM: Our cozy little group, off to protect the Kingdom from the Empire

GM: Everyone ready?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): shall I roll?

GM: yes please

Shislif (Zayden): think so :)

Branwyn: Everyone hold on and don't let go

mharmon1 (Talwin): May the odds be ever in your "don't telport them 500 ft above the ground" :)

seyfert (N'laea): get this party rolling?

N'laea: grabs hold

Branwyn: concentrates on the courtyard by the fountain

Branwyn: [CAST] Teleport

Lanek Olenak: gripping

Master TMO (Craigh): good think this isn't Rae - she might have grabbed somewhere inappropriate

Zayden: whoa!

Image: Dryads Lair Residence Renovated First Floor

Branwyn: [10d100 = 529]

seyfert (N'laea): LOL what kind of woman do you think she is?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): whoops

mharmon1 (Talwin): I was scratching my head at that lol

Branwyn: [d100 = 22]

Master TMO (Craigh): the kind that might get handsy if given the opportunity. :)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): thought it was a d10

seyfert (N'laea): (but she absolutely would cuddle up closer than needed)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): anyway 22 is nice and safe

seyfert (N'laea): woo!

GM: So Branwyn, Jennevive, N'laea and the two new abassadors arrive in the Residence

Branwyn: Welcome to Ashcroft Manor

GM: where after a short WHOOOSH

GM: the group materializes

GM: and Servants yell and make a fuss

mharmon1 (Talwin): Do they cower in fear?

Master TMO (Craigh): as servants tend wont to

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Master TMO (Craigh): *are wont to do

Gerald Whitwatcher: Who are you!

Master TMO (Craigh): what is a Whit, and Why is he Watching it?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Or let Jennevieve

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Branwyn: Good day. I am Countess Branwyn the Mysterious Branadarus escorting the new Ambassador from Drillian

Blinks

LorieD (Licornah): (Well, Whits used to be a major party in the early US voting history, bus alas, they faded out for some odd reason with white wigs...)

LorieD (Licornah): (j/k)

Jaw drops just a bit

Branwyn: Meet Mis Agatha Finefur and the Queen's REpresentative Earl Bolpel

Gerald Whitwatcher: Wait, who?

Branwyn: I am sorry I am not sure what your proper titles are

Gerald Whitwatcher: I mean I know who you are Countess

Gerald Whitwatcher: But why are you here?

Gerald Whitwatcher: I mean

Gerald Whitwatcher: I

Gerald Whitwatcher: Hmmmmm

mharmon1 (Talwin): I was unaware Branwyn was banished from this household...

Branwyn: I just said. To deliver the new Ambassador

Branwyn: I am much faster than a ship

Gerald Whitwatcher: The new ambassador is due to arrive by...

mharmon1 (Talwin): Now

Master TMO (Craigh): faster than a speeding locomotive

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Gerald Whitwatcher: Yes that would be a very true statement

Gerald Whitwatcher: and Branwyn the Mysterious, Bows

Branwyn: Is Phillipe still here?

Gerald Whitwatcher: You were an excellent ambassador by all acounts

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh my god I forgot aboout Phillipe

Gerald Whitwatcher: No I am his replacement

Branwyn: Thank you

mharmon1 (Talwin): Man, brings back memories

Gerald Whitwatcher: He retired 7 years ago

Master TMO (Craigh): especially all the highly-edited accounts that we censored before leaving

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): Aint that the truth

mharmon1 (Talwin): Wink

Branwyn: I hope that he is well. And you name please?

Gerald Whitwatcher: I am Gerald, Master Gerald Whitwatcher, my parents were born in the Mosskin Estates, I was sent here 10 years ago to learn the craft

mharmon1 (Talwin): It's been so long....

Gerald Whitwatcher: I had thought I was here to learn, then go home,

mharmon1 (Talwin): Suprise!

Gerald Whitwatcher: but Phillipe kept me here and then I ... inherited the job?

Branwyn: Ahhh ... well that happens. It is a pleasure to meet you Gerald.

Gerald Whitwatcher: It has not been bad

Gerald Whitwatcher: This will be my third ambassador

Master TMO (Craigh): don't worry, it'll get worse

Branwyn: I don't suppose Arabella or Joseph are still here?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Nice TMO

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Gerald Whitwatcher: We have hosted several people who know you Countess

Gerald Whitwatcher: Arabella I know she lives in the city still

Gerald Whitwatcher: Joseph does not sound familar

Gerald Whitwatcher: OH

Gerald Whitwatcher: OH

Gerald Whitwatcher: Looks at Jennevive, are you Jilly?

Gerald Whitwatcher: I have heard about you

mharmon1 (Talwin): oh my god

Gerald Whitwatcher: the amazing cook and more

mharmon1 (Talwin): that poor man

Master TMO (Craigh): *clouds of doom roll in overhead*

Jennevive: Grins and curtseys

Jennevive: Thank you, it is always a wonderful thing to be remembered fondly

mharmon1 (Talwin): He will suicide by defenestration

Jennevive: Tell me how did you hear about me?

Gerald Whitwatcher: Arabella told me that I needed to find a manager and a cook when she left

Gerald Whitwatcher: that I shoudl send for you

Gerald Whitwatcher: That Branwyn depended on you

Gerald Whitwatcher: and that if I could ever get you to come back it would make my life so much better

Gerald Whitwatcher: How can I convince you to stay?

Gerald Whitwatcher: Oh, glances up at the Countess

Gerald Whitwatcher: I am sorry

Branwyn: Gerald ... this is Jennevive, the Queen's representative that served here at the same time I did. She is not a cook

Gerald Whitwatcher: that is why she left before isn't it

mharmon1 (Talwin): This is delicious to watch. Like a derailing train. Horrible, but you just can't take your eyes away...

Jennevive: Oh why did you say that, I would love to eat him up

mharmon1 (Talwin): Chokes

Branwyn: Because he deserves a little kindness now that we have just dropped in on him from the sky

Branwyn: Perhaps we should get the new Ambassadors settled?

Jennevive: Do be a dar Gerald and run a warm bath for me, I will be off to pay my respects in the Celestry and when I come back this evening I will want to endulge

Jennevive: I will see you all at dinner

Gerald Whitwatcher: Ummmm

Gerald Whitwatcher: Looks at Branwyn

mharmon1 (Talwin): Maybe he will find a way to convince her to stay.....

mharmon1 (Talwin): We can dream....

Gerald Whitwatcher: There are people here

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Gerald Whitwatcher: Admiral Indigo

Branwyn: Jenn? See if you can find out what the time differential will be for the trip to the hell plane? I don't want a repeat of last time and lose years

Gerald Whitwatcher: a mage

Gerald Whitwatcher: Elves

Gerald Whitwatcher: amazing, he mutters

Gerald Whitwatcher: OH

Branwyn: Oh good! They made it! Dinner will be wonderful

Gerald Whitwatcher: Looks up at the balcony and spots Licornah and Zayden coming out of the lounge at the sound of all the comotion in the courtyard

Gerald Whitwatcher: Looks at Licornah, More elves? gestures at N'laea

N'laea: We do exist.

LorieD (Licornah): (oooh, I made the cast list as... "unnamed elf #2" ;o) )

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

Shislif (Zayden): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): And to be clear, Talwin is here?

Zayden: What's all the comotion?

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL Zayden

Master TMO (Craigh): at least you made the list

mharmon1 (Talwin): I love that character

Licornah: :: gives a wave from the balcony ::

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm lumped in "others"

seyfert (N'laea): who are you again?

Shislif (Zayden): lol Zay is still catching up :)

Branwyn: Hello Zayden! Licornah! Good to see you!

LorieD (Licornah): (in the theater, there are no small parts.. only small people LOL)

GM: Yes to be clear this is the place everyone would stay for free, so when you are not out at farms like Licornah is many times, or Tlawin is training, or Howard is off courting youwould be here

seyfert (N'laea): off courting? lol

Lanek Olenak: looks profoundly uncomfortable and out of his element

mharmon1 (Talwin): So I can give her her present now then?

Branwyn: Hello Lanek!

GM: No, it would be back at Drakeshead

Zayden: Oh hey Lanek!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Gotcha

Zayden: How's the flute?

Lanek Olenak: nods to Bran, grimaces at Zayden

Zayden smiles in return

Lanek Olenak: safely pocketed, how's yer --

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Licornah: :: descends the staircase :: Have you all been here long?

Lanek Olenak: looks at Bran and stops himself

Licornah: It's good to see you all in good health

Lanek Olenak: looks at Bran and stops himself

Branwyn: laughs

Branwyn: We have just arrived. I think we were a bit of a surprise for the staff

Branwyn: It's too bad I can't give a teleport warning

Lanek Olenak: it was a surprise for me and i was in it

Felice Swiftbrew: Now see here, I cannot have you mudding up the courtyard again I have told you Licornah that this just will not do, and Lanek what do you think you are doing dragging that ..... thing .... out of the stables

Felice Swiftbrew: And who are you? (Looking at Branwyn and guests) You cannot just barge in here un announced

Felice Swiftbrew: You will have to make an appointment

Felice Swiftbrew: Just go back the way you came and you can start again

Zayden: No walk-ins?

Branwyn: smiles

Master TMO (Craigh): brb - have to run a quick errand. Craigh is off in town doing unknown things

Licornah: :: raises brow :: I showered before I went to dinner with Rae and her mother -- thank you. I even pressed my robes.

springdew (Lanek Olenak): what am i dragging?

User has gone AFK. (Master TMO)

mharmon1 (Talwin): the cat in I suppose

Branwyn: The new Ambassador needs an appointment to assume her duties?

Branwyn: Come Agatha. Take charge.

Branwyn: This is your appointment

Felice Swiftbrew: Any new Ambassador should check in first of course

N'laea: watches with interest

Felice Swiftbrew: THEN I will see to how to settle any visitors

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh my god. The buracracy in motion

Felice Swiftbrew: But you are not on my list

Felice Swiftbrew: so you can just go back and try again

Licornah: Oh, I think with out her, you have no list...

Branwyn: I am sure Gerald shall explain everything

LorieD (Licornah): (Check yourself before you wreck yourself Felice... )

Gerald Whitwatcher: Felice, this is Countess Branwyn the Mysterious

mharmon1 (Talwin): If Talwin is here, he is mortified

Gerald Whitwatcher: I think she does not need an invitation

Shislif (Zayden): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Felice Swiftbrew: EVERYONE needs an Invitation

Felice Swiftbrew: That is how you keep things organzied

mharmon1 (Talwin): Is your fired, a thing here?

Gerald Whitwatcher: Felice, I hope you like being a mouse

Gerald Whitwatcher: She can make you a mouse

Branwyn: Agatha, am I invited?

mharmon1 (Talwin): How she has such endless patience never ceases to amaze me. Talwin must learn this skill

GM: Agatha looks around and nods, Welcome to Ashcroft Manor, Countess Branwyn the Mysterious, former Ambassador for Drillian and the Queen's advisor on all things magical

Felice Swiftbrew: Jaw drops

Lanek Olenak: And ENTOURAGE!

Talwin: Hear hear!

Branwyn: laughs

Gerald Whitwatcher: Felice, this is where you welcome our new Ambassador and thank the Countess for bringing her so swiftly to us

LorieD (Licornah): (Unnamed cast members be seen)

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

Branwyn: I am so pleased you all got here before me

Lanek Olenak: clears throat

Felice Swiftbrew: I

Felice Swiftbrew: well

Felice Swiftbrew: We have had many people come through the Residence over the last few weeks, I am glad to welcome you

Branwyn: Thank you for the warm welcome. It is much appreciated

Felice Swiftbrew: I will be certain to have the proper .... accompaniments for you this evening

Felice Swiftbrew: BOWS to Branwyn

Branwyn: Thank you

Felice Swiftbrew: Nods to Agatha, I can show you to your quarters Ambassador

GM: Felice takes the two of them off to their quarters

Gerald Whitwatcher: Thank you Countess

Gerald Whitwatcher: Your friends have spoken kindly of you

Gerald Whitwatcher: But no one told me you were coming

Branwyn: I know this is sudden. I appreciate your patience and understanding

Branwyn: I don't suppose we could use the salon so the my friends and I can catch up?

Gerald Whitwatcher: I .. are the rumors true?

Branwyn: Rumors?

Gerald Whitwatcher: Did you freeze women and drop them in the fountain?

Branwyn: sighs

Gerald Whitwatcher: Admiral Indigo swears it was not true

Branwyn: No no. A frozen woman did drop into the fountain but that had nothing to do with me

Gerald Whitwatcher: That is what the locals said, that frozen dead women would just show up here

Gerald Whitwatcher: Admrial Indigo said it was not only you

Gerald Whitwatcher: But...

Gerald Whitwatcher: I will send anyone up to the salon for you

gestures to Licornah and Zayden who are up there already

Branwyn: Nothing frozen shall arrive during my stay rest assured

Nods hopefully

Lanek Olenak: gorans

LemonyLemon (Daphene): I feel like you can't guarantee that

Lanek Olenak: er groans

Branwyn: That would be wonderful. I missed the salon

GM: LOL with Lemon and Spring

Talwin: Grim faced

seyfert (N'laea): lol

Image: Dryads Lair Residence Renovated Second Floor

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): frozen women don't follow us around - everything will be fine!

seyfert (N'laea): just hellhounds

springdew (Lanek Olenak): hubris. tempting fate.

Daria Kazak: Hello Miss Licornah, can I bring you any more drinks?

Daria Kazak: Sir Zayden, do you need more muffins?

User is back. (Master TMO)

Licornah: Oh no thank you ... I appreciate it. Did the corn turn out for you?

Daria Kazak: It was amazing

Zayden: saure I could go for some muffins!

Daria Kazak: Thank you so much for that

Zayden: Sure!

Daria Kazak: My father is so grateful

Zayden: 'Sir" so fancy

Talwin: I'd say so

Talwin: Nods

Daria Kazak: winks at Zayden, If you play for me again, show me how you slide up and down over that flute

Licornah: :: looks at her toes and says nothing ::

Daria Kazak: OH Hello Talwin, (very stiffly) I hope your training is going well

Daria Kazak: I will be back soon

Zayden: Oh well one certainly can't say no to such a proposition!

Heads out down the stairs

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Man, the NPCs are such flirts

Shislif (Zayden): lol for real

Branwyn: It is so good to see you all! Tell me how your trip went ... and who is this?

GM: so eventually everyone makes it upstairs to the second floor and the salon

Master TMO (Craigh): you should've been here for the original Shurkural NPC

Branwyn: looks at Daphene

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh that's Daph! She's... um... she just wanted to come with us. Because I'm famous now.

Talwin: Laughs

Branwyn: You are? Tell me!

Daphene: stares, starstruck, at Branwyn

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, I'm the Story Teller! Check this out!

Branwyn: And nice to meet you Daph

Bixi Fizzlebang: shows off the new lozenge or whatever it was on my robes

N'laea: You tell stories?

Branwyn: Very nice!

Daphene: waves

GM: One new Lozenge on the robes for her new level and a Book Emblem for being a Story teller

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah! Ghost stories! And other stories, but mostly ghost stories!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bixi would

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Bixi Fizzlebang: And I'm writing a rock opera with Zayden!

Craigh: enters into the building from town, a small sack tied securely to his belt.

Branwyn: smiles

Zayden: Yay!

Talwin: Coughs, to cover a laugh

N'laea: A rock opera? What is a rock opera?

Zayden: It's like a regular opera, except it rocks!

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's a very difficult musical that tells a story

Daria Kazak: Oh Bixi tells lots of stories

Bixi Fizzlebang: Rocks are hard, writing is hard, you know

Branwyn: I hope you will perform it when we get home. The estate will like new entertainment

Daria Kazak: Zayden is very good at performing

Bixi Fizzlebang: But worth the effort for sure! It's about the hero Talwin!

Zayden: Thank you Daria

Talwin: Especially while sneaking

Talwin: Smiling wryly

Zayden: Oh it's great story, and mostly true as well

Bixi Fizzlebang: gross, Daria, keep it in your pants

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

Daria Kazak: I am not sure what the Countess wants so I brought up some different things

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Talwin: Brightens at Branwny!

Talwin: Great News!

Branwyn: Talwin!

Talwin: I have something exciting for you!

Talwin: But er

Talwin: not here at the moment. I er

Craigh: sees the new arrivals in the room, waves jauntily in their direction and changes direction toward the stairs up to his room.

Talwin: Well

Zayden: I'm not falling for that old line again!

Talwin: It's safe

Talwin: But you'll love it!

Zayden: oh ok then

Bixi Fizzlebang: (to Zayden) Yeah! A little bit of embellishment, for entertainment purposes, but yeah, mostly true for sure!

Zayden smiles

Branwyn: I'm sure I will. You met your sword master then I take it?

N'laea: watches Craigh escape with some envy

Talwin: As Bright as he hasn't been in years

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, and Talwin got rid of his evil sword

Talwin: As Bright as he hasn't been in years

Zayden: (To Bixi) Oh yes, it must entertain, and true life can be rather dull at times

Talwin: Yes and Kinda of Yes!

Talwin: I would get up and formally bow but I think my arms and legs mostly stopped working some time ago

N'laea: That is good.

seyfert (N'laea): (the evil sword being gone)

Talwin: Soon after training started

Zayden: must make it hard to play with your sword Tal

Zayden snickers

Daria Kazak: If only his mouth would stop too softly to the side

Talwin: Grunts

Talwin: But defintely you'll love it!

Daria Kazak: Licornah has been very good at helping the village with their crops

Talwin: So excited, but dissapointed he didn't bring the present

Daria Kazak: She even helped with the birth of twin calves

Branwyn: That is very kind of you Licornah. I am sure you are making a name for yourself here!

Licornah: :: smiles at Daria :: that's kind of you to say. I just offered some help and made a few furry friends along the way. The calves were happy surprises.

Daria Kazak: SHE is very helpful

Bixi Fizzlebang: So THAT'S where you've been hiding, Licornah

Licornah: :: shakes head quickly :: Nope, no name here. I've been keeping a low profile

mharmon1 (Talwin): Making friends is her speciality :)

Licornah: I did befriend the librarian though ..

Branwyn: You will be surprised how well people will remember

Branwyn: Oh which library?

Licornah: and the pastry chef at the inn

Licornah: Library of Lore

Branwyn: I don't think I have been there. Is it nice?

Daria Kazak: Helop is an amazing chef, he makes the most mouth watering

Daria Kazak: I will bring some for you

Goes off

Licornah: Yes, the Silver Frog is a nicer establishment

Licornah: I visited after farming during the day.

Branwyn: The Silver Frog ... isn't that one of the thieves' guild inns?

Licornah: :: shrug :: everyone was nice and no one tried to rob me

Branwyn: I don't think I have been ... Ilero would know.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well makes sense that it was so nice then... they probably didn't have to pay for most of it

LorieD (Licornah): (But perhaps it's because they think I'm crazy asking if they know Storm or Alustriel Silverhand from Silverymoon)

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol bixi

Licornah: I have visted some of the other inns, but everyone was nicest there

N'laea: I have not seen Raelynn. Did she make it here okay?

Branwyn: I think Indigo may have met with Penelope there. He would probably agree Licornah

Licornah: She was visting her mother -- she hosted all of us for dinner

N'laea: Ah good. It seems you all survived the trip then?

Licornah: Yes, but I'm glad to be on dry land for these past few months. I'm not a sailor ...

Craigh: comes back down, having changed clothes, and steps into the room and into a chair off to one side to listen.

Talwin: I must admit, sailing is only fun when it's uneventful

Talwin: or we are looting other ships

Talwin: either or

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, I disagree

Bixi Fizzlebang: For awhile dinner kept coming right to us!

Talwin: Nods happily

Talwin: I also got what was the word bixi?

Talwin: "Glitter Bombed?"

Daphene: sits near Craigh, but not TOO near Craigh

Master TMO (Craigh): "Gonorrhea"

N'laea: "Glitter bombed?"

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): Jeeze TMO

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh good I remembered

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not sure I named it, but that's a great name!

Talwin: Oh good I remembered

Talwin: It sucked

Talwin: But is funny in hindsight

N'laea: What is that?

Talwin: Oh Bixi! Show N'laea!

Bixi Fizzlebang: snickers

N'laea: No thank you.

Talwin: Tries to desperatly hold in a laugh

Talwin: Tries to desperatly hold in a laugh

Bixi Fizzlebang: Sorry, Tal, it's all gone into the lotion

Talwin: Snorts

Bixi Fizzlebang: Rae made a beautiful glitter lotion that a dragon liked!

Talwin: Seems lighter, tired, but more relaxed

Talwin: less brooding

N'laea: That sounds like her.

N'laea: Er. You met a dragon?

Branwyn: Dragon? You faced a dragon? What kind?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Dang, that sword really was destroying you

Craigh: nods a greeting to Daph, and continues listening to the conversation.

GM: Note this is in the middle of all the training, and learning the group is doing, Branwyn and N'laea just show up unexpectedly in the middle of it all, and you have to stay here to continue learning and such.... and suddenly she is here to make you do./......

Talwin: A Lord of the Swamp!

Talwin: And a master of illusion that's for sure

Talwin: Grunts

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Surely I'm allowed to take a couple hours off for Branwyn

Licornah: An old red dragon

GM: Yes to Lemon

Licornah: we are very fortunate to have survived

mharmon1 (Talwin): We are so excited to see Bran that we've forgotten to ask

Talwin: And I owe them all very much for their sacrifice and time

Talwin: Solumnly

Licornah: Branwyn - how are your children?

Branwyn: You are. Red dragons and old dragons are so dangerous

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): She said she's bringing an ambassador, that's enough info for Bixi lol

Branwyn: They are doing very well thank you.

Branwyn: They are quite a handful at the moment

N'laea: And it ...accepted a glitter lotion?

Talwin: Did they try to tag along?

Talwin: Innocently

N'laea: shakes heads

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's not sinister. "We were lucky to have survived... so... how are your kids these days?"

Branwyn: Dahlia wanted to come but I couldn't bring her

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): LOL

Talwin: Keeps a deadpan expression, but clearly amused

Talwin: The little rascal

LorieD (Licornah): (it's a sandwich... bad news, ask about a good thing and keep moving, don't slow down or linger on bad)

LorieD (Licornah): ( :O) )

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Branwyn: I am glad you could negotiate and didn't try to fight an old dragon

Talwin: Yeah so were we

Talwin: mutters under his breath

Master TMO (Craigh): how many weeks have we been in Dryads Lair?

GM: at least 5

Licornah: You should probably cross that off potential vacation spots Branwyn.

Master TMO (Craigh): kthx

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't think surviving a dragon is bad news lol

Talwin: It seemed to have more fun negotiating then fighting if you ask me. It's a very very old Dragon I think

Talwin: A legend actually

GM: no one mentioned WHERE the dragon was by the way

Branwyn: So ... N'Laea and I are going to pop into the Royal Library tomorrow to get the Hell Book back. I can bring a couple people with us if anyone wants to come

mharmon1 (Talwin): I said the swamp!

Zayden: Library how exciting

Zayden sarcasm

GM: Dragon Fen is in the swamp, smiles

Talwin: Shakes head. Sorry, uh, Fire Swamp Lady Branwny

Craigh: tilts his head, interested.

Talwin: Forgive me, I am tired

Talwin: I think you would find it fascinating

Bixi Fizzlebang: Zayden, really? I'm disappointed

Talwin: Although the cultists not so much

N'laea: Wait. You said all survived the trip. Where is Thistle?

Branwyn: Fire Swamps? I suppose that is a proper place for a red dragon to reside

GM: Branwyn only knows of the Fire Swamps becasue they were told not to go there

GM: and thank you Carissa, someeone remembered Thistle

seyfert (N'laea): lol gotta remember my own characters or I'm in REALLY bad shape

Craigh: I'll tag along with you to the Library, if no one else wants to go.

mharmon1 (Talwin): you are not alone Carissa :)

Branwyn: I'd appreciate it Craigh

Zayden: I suppose I still have some childhood hang up related to libraries

Talwin: I uh....not sure I should tell you this Lady Branwny

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I remembered! I just chose not to bring it up... I assumed we'd get there eventually.

Zayden: plus the bard libraries are very different from your typical library

Talwin: But the dragon seemed reasonable enough to visit again...as long as we bring something worth the time of course

Bixi Fizzlebang: What happens in the bard libraries?

seyfert (N'laea): yes trying to find a good time to ask but N'laea doesn't care about etiquette - not an NWP for her

Master TMO (Craigh): (the librarians are a LOT more fun!)

Talwin: Snickers at Bixi's comment

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I imagine them like the hedonism robot from Futurama

Branwyn: So where is Thistle?

GM: There was an adventure called Bards Keep a million years ago that I ran, was a library for Bards

Craigh: That's a bad idea, and you should feel bad for having it, Talwin.

Shislif (Zayden): oh lol nice!

Craigh: says jokingly

Bixi Fizzlebang: Leading some gypsies

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thistle is a wisewoman now right?

seyfert (N'laea): (yes)

Talwin: She's their wisewoman

seyfert (N'laea): (and apparently not yet back to Dragon Fen)

N'laea: Who?

Talwin: She loved us, but we didn't want to keep her from her...destiny...I think is the right word

Branwyn: She's what?

Talwin: Cocks head

Branwyn: Thistle ...

Talwin: She's not gone. She writes us letters!

Craigh: She intends to lead her new tribe towards Dragons Fen though. So we'll probably be seeing her again.

Talwin: I can go fetch them if you are worried!

Branwyn: shakes her head

Talwin: Distressed at Branwnys reaction

Branwyn: That is amazing

N'laea: Ah, that will be good. Perhaps she can give a more... coherent story.

Talwin: relaxes as his heart resumes beating again

mharmon1 (Talwin): (I guess Thistle better start writing some letters lol)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (or we can pretend she did :) )

seyfert (N'laea): lol you can pretend

mharmon1 (Talwin): awesome

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

seyfert (N'laea): she still has a ton of travel to write before she can write letters unless you write them for her

mharmon1 (Talwin): hehe

mharmon1 (Talwin): pretend is just fine :)

GM: Or he could get writing (LINK)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob you sqaure!

seyfert (N'laea): exactly!

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Branwyn: I look forward to hearing her story. I am glad she will be coming to Dragon Fen. I would hate to hear she would leave and not say goodbye. Shi would be crushed

Master TMO (Craigh): "had to execute two people today for insubordination. *sigh* So boring when they make me do that..."

N'laea: nods

Branwyn: I would be ...

seyfert (N'laea): lol not sure I want TMO writing any though...

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): MATH MATH MATH

Master TMO (Craigh): nono - I don't write math, I only use it.

mharmon1 (Talwin): To me it's the same witchcraft TMO

Branwyn: And where are Indigo and Howard? They are stil with us?

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Talwin: Nods happily

Talwin: Yes!

Talwin: Indigo has kept me sane on this adventure

seyfert (N'laea): lol

Branwyn: smiles

Talwin: A real voice of reason

Talwin: Pauses oddly

Talwin: Wait

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm with you, Michael

Talwin: er

Felice Swiftbrew: Hello

Talwin: Pardon my asking, after all I am so excited to see you again Lady Branwny

Talwin: But uh,

Talwin: Well

Felice Swiftbrew: We will be hosting an official dinner this evening

Talwin: Why are you here exactly?

Felice Swiftbrew: to welcome our new ambassador

Felice Swiftbrew: and our old ambassador

Branwyn: Lovely

Talwin: Nods

Master TMO (Craigh): and our old old old old ambassador

Felice Swiftbrew: We will be setting up tables in the courtyard

Talwin: Ah, faster then a boat eh Lady Branwny?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yummm, Indigo will be so excited

Talwin: Just teleporting them

Talwin: Smiles

Felice Swiftbrew: Please be on time

Branwyn: That is why I am here. I was asked to deliver the new ambassador and Queen's Advisor to Dryads Lair

leaves quickly again

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: You are also kind enough that you didn't send them the long way

Talwin: Smiles warmly

Branwyn: And also to take the book back from the Royal Library so I can take it to hell

Branwyn: Side trip

Branwyn: grins

Talwin: Jaw Drops

Talwin: Wait what?

Master TMO (Craigh): unlike *some* people...

Branwyn: That's the only reason to go to hell

Talwin: Struggles to stand

Talwin: I'm coming with you!

Daphene: whispers to Craigh "I'm sorry, she what?"

Talwin: Sways and falls back on the couch

Branwyn: To hell? I hope so

Talwin: Gets up again

Branwyn: Are you ill Talwin?

Branwyn: Perhaps you should stay seated

Talwin: I uh, my legs and arms are stiff

Branwyn: Have some tea

Talwin: But I'll be fine

Talwin: When are we leaving?

Craigh: smiles at Daphene, "Get with me later, I'll explain what I know about it."

mharmon1 (Talwin): (How much training is roughly left bob?)

GM: months

Talwin: I hate to ask, but is there a rush job on Hell?

Talwin: I'll of course go with you

GM: Indigo is still learning how to drink

Talwin: But I'm in the middle of training

Talwin: trails off...

seyfert (N'laea): lol

Talwin: Clearly torn

Branwyn: No no. We aren't going to hell until we are all back in Dragon Fen.

Talwin: Sighs but catches himself, turning it into a nod

Talwin: Ah, okay

Branwyn: I'm just going to take a book from the library tomorrow and really hope it will be a peaceful transaction

Talwin: Is that code for breaking and entering?

Talwin: Whispers

Licornah: Is there a chance I can stay somewhere near there that won't make me ill Branwyn?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): sorry - lost the game for a sec

Craigh: blinks at that, and his eyes unfocus as he starts thinking

Lanek Olenak: Take as in rightfully remove? Or do you mebbe need a thief?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Somewhere near hell?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Unlikely

Branwyn: That is difficult Licornah. If you come back with me then you can stay at the Inn and avoid the Mist entirely, but any time you enter from Loosend, say or leave the Inn you will risk sickness.

Talwin: Sigh

N'laea: You eventually get used to it.

Licornah: Inn life for me then... I cannot manage a week of being able to do nothing

Licornah: I can pray outside the inn safely

Talwin: One day we'll research a way around that little irritation

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, that makes more sense than staying somewhere near Hell, I suppose

N'laea: It is only the first time it is normally that hard.

Branwyn: And Lanek, I'm going to ask for it, but if they will not give it to me then other ways will be necessary

Daphene: whispers to herself "Gods. Does she ever think before she talks?"

Lanek Olenak: nods

Branwyn: It is not sitting on a shelf where it could be easily pocketed

Craigh: pulls his little notebook out of its pouch and flips through a few pages of it, then puts it back.

Lanek Olenak: at yer disposal, anytime

Talwin: We should form our own academies and libraries. Then we won't have to deal with pesky things like Diplomatic incidents

Talwin: Grins at Bran

Branwyn: It is nailed into a crate in the back of the library that will need to be requested

Talwin: I'll start thinking of an alibi

Craigh: What about the other books?

Branwyn: What other books? Most are in back rooms that are only brought out on request

Craigh: Hmm. Okay.

GM: Someone might want to think about that idea.... a book, in a crate nailed shut and chained, then put away in the back of the library away in storage... and Branwyn just wants to walk off with it

Branwyn: At least the most valuable ones

Craigh: shrugs. "Worth a shot."

Shislif (Zayden): sounds like a good book

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): It's not chained any more - we couldn't get the chains back on

Master TMO (Craigh): you just described most of Craigh's brains there, Bob. ;)

GM: LOL

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): hence the need for sealing it in the crate

Talwin: No, just the book. She's not trying to extract the ark of the covenant here

mharmon1 (Talwin): No, just the book. She's not trying to extract the ark of the covenant here

LorieD (Licornah): (is the book alive?)

Master TMO (Craigh): aren't they all?

mharmon1 (Talwin): that's deep TMO

mharmon1 (Talwin): I mean, doesnt' this one send demons after Bran, or was that different

Master TMO (Craigh): I Am Complex and Mysterious.

Talwin: LOL

Master TMO (Craigh): and there are fish swimming in me

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I think it was chained because of the demon mark. Branwyn is going to open it again and see if the mark hits her again

mharmon1 (Talwin): God, do we want it to hit her again?

Master TMO (Craigh): that joke would have made more sense if I'd actually made the ocean comparison instead of only thinking it

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): was thinking about that - what if someone else opens it, would the mark leave her and hit someone else? And is that easier than going to hell but more evil to do that knowingly?

Talwin: Evil? Yes.

Shislif (Zayden): we could hire a transient to open it? But like a bad transient?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Evil? Yes.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): she has to open it again to see. she already has the mark. Can't get much worse

mharmon1 (Talwin): But also...hell....I mean even if Talwin dies, holy crap that will be an adventure for the ages :)

Master TMO (Craigh): have them do it in the Inn, and then immediately step into the Mist and never leave it again

mharmon1 (Talwin): Calm down there Satan

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

Master TMO (Craigh): I'm sure you could get volunteers

Master TMO (Craigh): heck, what happens if someone opens the book *in* the Mist?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Thats an interesting thought

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Very much so

mharmon1 (Talwin): I remember Dimension Door could be used in the Mist, but only Line of Sight. I'm not sure it would matter depending on the magic behind it

Master TMO (Craigh): that's why y'all keep me around

GM: Spare him his life from this monstrosity Easy come, easy go, will you let me go? Bismillah! No, we will not let you go (Let him go) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let him go) Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go) Will not let you go (Never, never, never, never let me go) Ah No, no, no, no, no, no, no (Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia) Mamma mia, let me go

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): We could let a Goblin open it

Master TMO (Craigh): is Bismallah the actual lyric? Always wondered what that word was, never bothered to actually look it up

Talwin: Obligatory Link (LINK)

GM: Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me!

Craigh: for MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

mharmon1 (Talwin): Huh

mharmon1 (Talwin): That song is very different in context

GM: But it is dinner time

GM: Everyone is gathered around several tables in the courtyard around the fountain

Master TMO (Craigh): that song is overrated, imho. :P it's not bad, but it gets way more play time than many of their other, at least as good, songs

Talwin: For Bob "It's dinner time!"

Talwin: (LINK)

GM: the four ambassadors from Drillian,

GM: Along with the two previous ambassadors

GM: plus the staff and your full group of everyone

GM: Rae, Youtargim are here (no one ever even asked about him, sob, ) with Indigo and Howard, etc.

seyfert (N'laea): (lol)

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

seyfert (N'laea): sorry N'laea doesn't care about most people ask :P

GM: No one except Branwyn, Jennevive, Indigo and Howard would have seen the full pomp and circumstance of the formal state dinner like this

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We could let Fives open it

GM: And that would be the last time when Branwyn left

mharmon1 (Talwin): Talwin has bob

mharmon1 (Talwin): When the queen

mharmon1 (Talwin): Not here I suppose

GM: That was back in Drillian, Talwin was not here,

GM: nods

mharmon1 (Talwin): Gotcha, just trying to picture in my head

GM: But Lisa has questions to ask and answer for her characters

GM: and Zayden has to perform

GM: Daria is anticipating that

GM: and this is Rae's chance to be away from family

Shislif (Zayden): of course!

seyfert (N'laea): (and at this point in she probably is happy to be)

GM: and so

Branwyn: gives Indigo a hug

Gerald Whitwatcher: We welcome our new ambassador, and bid farewell to Anthony of Wellspring

LorieD (Licornah): :: applauds politely ::

Branwyn: and then stops to pay attention

Gerald Whitwatcher: You have done well these past five years Sir, thank you for your service to the Kingdom

Gerald Whitwatcher: I am certain that Madam Agatha Finefur will serve well as your replacement

Branwyn: claps

Gerald Whitwatcher: Thank you to Countess Branwyn the Mysterious for being here for this exchange of duties

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

Gerald Whitwatcher: Perhaps we need to look into having this happen again

Gerald Whitwatcher: Sir Anthony you might be invited back in five years for that ceremony

Gerald Whitwatcher: Dinner is served!

Felice Swiftbrew: Please everyone enjoy

GM: The staff brings out platters

GM: and continues to serve over the course of hours

GM: and now the group, this is your chance to give ideas and help before Branwyn goes and breaks into the Royal Library library tomorrow to steal a book

mharmon1 (Talwin): This is definetely not Talwin's strong suit

Zayden: Why doesn't he just check out the book? it is a library

Zayden: Seems like an unnecessary hassle

Talwin: Hello, I'd like the Book of Evil. Do I need a library card?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Hello, I'd like the Book of Evil. Do I need a library card?

Branwyn: Books do not leave the Royal Library

Branwyn: Unless you are the Prince

Talwin: Hm

Talwin: Ponders

Talwin: Lady Branwyn

Zayden: So they check in anytime they like, but they can never leave?

Raelynn: quietly, "Oh my goddess, I still can't believe you're here, N'laea! I made friends with a dragon, and Thistle did magic, and I have SO much to tell you later!"

Talwin: As I recall, rules are more like suggestions around you. In your position as Countess

Daphene: Do you know the Prince?

Talwin: Could you request the book?

Talwin: You could explain the dangers of it, and that you intend to rid the land of a danger that threatens this land

GM: Born to be kings Princes of the universe Fighting and free Got your world in my hand I'm here for your love And I'll make my stand We were born to be Princes of the universe

Branwyn: Not the current one. I have lost my contacts after so much time

Talwin: Shakes head

Talwin: I do agree

Master TMO (Craigh): much better song choice Bob. :P

Talwin: But apparently your legend persits

Branwyn: I will request it and do think I can make a compelling argument

Talwin: As I recall, you did a good deed here

Raelynn: Oh! I charmed a dragon. I bet I could charm a librarian if you need?

Talwin: Nods

Branwyn: Hopefully that will be enough

Talwin: The only worry I have, is that if you request the book, and it suddenly goes missing, they will look to you

Talwin: So, we need to prepare a convincing alibi if they refuse

User is back. (springdew)

Talwin: We don't want to cause a diplomatic incident

Talwin: Like floating baloons over the palace or something

Branwyn: laughs

LemonyLemon (Daphene): ouch, RL!

Zayden: well if it's 'diplomatic' then i'm sure it wouldn't be a big deal

Talwin: Glances at Zayden

Talwin: Zayden I love you man, but uh

Talwin: Sometimes the things you say...

Zayden takes a bite of food

Branwyn: If need be I will just have to show them what happens if they do not give me the book

Zayden: are amazing?

Talwin: Yeah, that won't be a diplomatic incident

Talwin: mutters

Talwin: quietly focusing on food

Raelynn: Yes.

Howard Plum: Branwyn Craigh found a possible lead on information for the hell trip.

mharmon1 (Talwin): BRB about 5 again. Sorry

Howard Plum: I took something so you could find him if you want to speak with him

Howard Plum: His name is Fives and he is in RiversBend

Howard Plum: We met him but I didn't know enough to ask the right questions

Howard Plum: Which is why I took the bracelet so you could

Licornah: Do you know the librarians? Is there something of value that could be offered for the book?

Branwyn: Fives? Craigh, he could help us?

Licornah: Most libraries don't want to keep evil lurking about

Craigh: hears his name and comes over to the group.

Branwyn: I know the librarian when I served there but am not sure he is still there. It would help if he was

Branwyn: Librarians can be very protective of their books

GM: grins

Branwyn: We'll just have to go and see what happens

Branwyn: smiles

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): plan? what plan?

Craigh: You rang, madam? How can I assist you in your plans and/or plots or schemes?

Branwyn: Howard says you introduced him to a person in RiversBend who is familiar with the planes of hell?

Branwyn: smiles

Craigh: Oh, the Fives guy. His was the name I was given when I asked if there was someone knowledgeable about devils. I don't know him personally though, just the one encounter. Unfortunately, every name I've been given here in Dryads Lair has turned out to be busy, unfindable, or a con man.

Bixi Fizzlebang: This guy seemed like he knew stuff though

Craigh: Sounded legit, I agree, but I don't know anything on it myself.

GM: I have seen things man.......

Branwyn: Couldn't hurt to ask. We can stop there on the way back home

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Bixi Fizzlebang: He countered our questions with more questions. We were "what do you know about devils" and he was "well, I know a lot about these ones but these other ones are scarier" or whatever. Most of it was over my head but... he seemed to know his stuff anyway

GM: Bixi... Over my head... HAH

seyfert (N'laea): lol

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, no pun intended

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): He has my handkerchief. Could you get it back so he doesn't use it to find me?

seyfert (N'laea): ALWAYS INTENDED

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Not my fault all my characters are short, I didn't make the second one

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): lol

Howard Plum: He has my handkerchief. Could you get it back so he doesn't use it to find me?

Master TMO (Craigh): that was definitely not a 'short sword'

Howard Plum: It was a security thing

Branwyn: That was very brave of you. I will take care of it

GM: so it looks like Branwyn has as much of a plan as she wants

GM: Catching up on other RP?

seyfert (N'laea): (honestly falling asleep)

Shislif (Zayden): yea i'm pretty low energy today as well

GM: Youtargim is all here for Rae to fall asleep in his lap

Branwyn: So let me see, N'Laea, Raelynn, Lanek, Craigh and Licornah want to visit the libary tomorrow?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): gross

seyfert (N'laea): she gotta tell N'laea all the gossip!

seyfert (N'laea): and about her new dragon friend that others neglected to mention she befriended!

Master TMO (Craigh): if you can take that many. if not, who do you leave?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): that's close to 700?

LorieD (Licornah): (Is there enough space for everyone else that wants to go? )

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): she can take 700 lbs

LorieD (Licornah): (I can stay behind to ensure Craigh goes)

mharmon1 (Talwin): back, sorry about that

GM: grins, you can be friends with Branwyn if you weigh under 700 pounds total

Master TMO (Craigh): Talwin's like, 350 lbs, so he goes nowhere by teleport

seyfert (N'laea): unless naked

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): I remember bare clothes and no armor. That sucked

GM: How much does Licornah weigh?

Master TMO (Craigh): where would he stash his sword though?

Licornah: :: frowns :: asking a lady's weight... so indelicate

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bend over and I'll show you

GM: grins

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh shoot I'm so sorry

GM: LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): That might be taken the wrong way

seyfert (N'laea): LOL

Master TMO (Craigh): is there a right way?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

seyfert (N'laea): not sure the right way??

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm sorry WHAT

mharmon1 (Talwin): Chistmas Vacation Reference

mharmon1 (Talwin): my bad

Licornah: Wow, that took a turn that I did not anticipate

GM: HAH

seyfert (N'laea): Yeah sure....

Master TMO (Craigh): left turn... Embarrasing Chevy Chase movie references...

mharmon1 (Talwin): Nooo really. It is from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. I'm so sorry

GM: Branwyn, Licornah, Criagh, Lanek are the four primary

Licornah: I'm at 55.2 with my stuff

LorieD (Licornah): Chevy Chase, unless you're in Maryland, is an okay subject to skip

GM: then Rae? N'laea

seyfert (N'laea): Depends. You want a charmer or a sneaker?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Elves are that light?

seyfert (N'laea): No

Master TMO (Craigh): I don't know if I have Craigh's weight, but whatever it is, it's not much

seyfert (N'laea): Elves are at least 100 lbs

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lanek and craigh = 300 lbs or so?

springdew (Lanek Olenak): hm i don't have Lanek's age and weight.

Master TMO (Craigh): 115 lbs for Craigh

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): skinny guy!

Master TMO (Craigh): very

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): so 250 for lanek and Craigh

GM: female elves start at 70 pounds and go up

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's theives for ya

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): don't picture Lanek weighing a lot

seyfert (N'laea): depends on elf type, ya?

seyfert (N'laea): Which is why Nlaea is heavier

GM: nods

Master TMO (Craigh): and Craigh can only carry about 10lbs before he becomes encumbered, so he doesn't get much heavier than that

seyfert (N'laea): so my mind 100 is your safe middleground for all types

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): this really shouldn't be a big deal - I wanted to get in and out - we're not fighting the librarian

GM: except dwarves

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ... we hope

seyfert (N'laea): Nlaea and Bran are nearly naked except for clothing anyways

Master TMO (Craigh): this trip just got more interesting

seyfert (N'laea): lol I meant all types of elves not all types of races

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): if she opens a red scroll that's a different story but that's last resort

GM: You have Jenn still who can go with, but she was planning on the Celestry trip while you were at the library

mharmon1 (Talwin): 70 pounds????

mharmon1 (Talwin): Are they like, emaciated?

seyfert (N'laea): Right??

GM: Looks at N'laea and Branwyn

N'laea: 70 lbs means at a healthy weight you're only like... 4' 2" tall

seyfert (N'laea): what?

Master TMO (Craigh): starts at 70, for the lightest and smallest, and goes up from there

mharmon1 (Talwin): Are we sure we aren't talking KG? Cause 70KG is 154 pounds....

seyfert (N'laea): the media and their unrealistic body standards, I swear

Craigh: Engagement

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): Those bards tales that Zayden sings, man

mharmon1 (Talwin): Unrealistic

Average Height and Weight-- Table 10

mharmon1 (Talwin): I know i'm sorry for derailing, I was just caught by surprise

Shislif (Zayden): lol

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No, this is important

seyfert (N'laea): Yeah I don't need a table, Bob. I know healthy weight standards from my doctor thank you very much.

Master TMO (Craigh): people did tend to be a lot skinnier back then. Less processed carbs in the diet, a lot more physical activity. Unless you were rich

Aging Effects-- Table 12

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL Carissa! :)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): but elves are shorter than humans so makes sense they weigh less

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Even gnomes start at 68, according to this, if I 'm reading it right?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well, I mean, if it means Bran can teleport more people, all power to you guys

GM: yes to Lemon

mharmon1 (Talwin): And gods we need Jilly to feed you more

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Halflings 48???? Dang

GM: [5d4 = 9]

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We need to make Daph eat

mharmon1 (Talwin): 48? That's less then my German Shephard

GM: 77 for Bixi on that example

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, same. Both my dogs weigh more than that, and they're not considered big dogs

GM: [5d4 = 14]

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The one is part german shepherd, but she's smaller than a full bred

GM: 62 for Daph

Master TMO (Craigh): iirc, I used different charts, that take stats into account, and Craigh is well below average on those, so... 5'6, 115lbs

seyfert (N'laea): They'd weigh less, sure, but that's still doctor concerning weight.

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm now picturing one of our halfings riding a mastiff with a butter knife. Don't know why, just am

seyfert (N'laea): Craigh doesn't have one limb so he good

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sir Didymus

Master TMO (Craigh): that too!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Too soon

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

GM: smiles you can pick a weight no issue on that, just using these as examples if needed

Master TMO (Craigh): it's like he was *made* for riding along on teleports!

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

seyfert (N'laea): So you say but you made a big deal of height at the stupid goblin cave so I don't trust you

GM: [3d10 = 13]

GM: [3d10 = 24]

GM: 177 for a human male

GM: Add 40 for chain mail etc.

seyfert (N'laea): Okay real question: can I just roll dice when my doctor asks me to weigh myself next time?

GM: grins

seyfert (N'laea): Hey doc, with this modifier....

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, Carissa, I don't even want to hear it until you have a thyroid problem

seyfert (N'laea): Don't jinx me

GM: But in any case we know now what is happening first thing next week

seyfert (N'laea): It's coming soon if I don't have that yet

GM: then after that is click to Loosend with the Buttercup

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hey, the good thing about it is that they've stopped bugging me about losing weight since they found that!

seyfert (N'laea): lol

springdew (Lanek Olenak): i'm on scales strike at the doctor's office

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sigh, if we need to reduce weight, we can cut off the other arm I guess

GM: LOL

springdew (Lanek Olenak): their weight and BMI charts are BS and people are dying because their real health problems are being ignored if they are heavy, so bleah.

springdew (Lanek Olenak): it aint mandatory, i aint doing it

seyfert (N'laea): lol michael

GM: nods with Spring so much more than just a single number

LorieD (Licornah): (Welcome to Hypo life... )

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm overweigt (although doing my darnest to lose it) and I'm doing better then many people who aren't. I do have a very physical second job though, so that might be part of it

GM: I am almost to hamburger weight

GM: 80/20

Shislif (Zayden): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): I had never heard of Hamburger weight before just now

Shislif (Zayden): 80/20 is good burger meat though

Shislif (Zayden): yea I was about to ask "hamburger weight?"

MadamePsychosis: was thinking you weigh more than a quarter pound!

mharmon1 (Talwin): I want to be asada. Thin and gristly

seyfert (N'laea): lol

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: grins

Shislif (Zayden): haha

GM: Ground Chuck is 85/ 15

Lanek Olenak: since i stopped weighing in and started focusing on blood sugar, i've actually gotten smaller :-P

seyfert (N'laea): "What's your weight goals?" "Asada"

Shislif (Zayden): I'm aiming for tenderloing :)

springdew (Lanek Olenak): since i stopped weighing in and started focusing on blood sugar, i've actually gotten smaller :-P

Shislif (Zayden): tenderloin :)

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Master TMO (Craigh): I doubt I still have the stuff I made, but I did something for a better BMI chart for a game I was playing. Used the third dimension. Current real world ones (unless they've changed in the decades since) scale only in 2 dimensions, so the further from average you are, the more off they become)

Shislif (Zayden): intewesting

GM: So thank you everyone for getting us to this point

GM: the two paths will diverge again next week

Shislif (Zayden): no worries!

GM: There should be discussions on the site during the week as you plot your Library Breakin

Shislif: oh hey for future games i may not be getting off work till like 6pm, so prolly won't be able to join tilllike 630 or so

GM: So that Lisa does not have to be planning

MadamePsychosis: no plotting - improv!

seyfert: Bob. You plan, not Lisa.

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oof. But We understand :)

GM: Understand Sharif

mharmon1 (Talwin): Work sometimes does taht to us

seyfert: I want to not make plans, either. I'm just along for the ride.

MadamePsychosis: sorry to hear Sharif!

Shislif: I like improv, but also if others plan :)

Shislif: yea bit of a bummer but oh well!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, Bixi and Daph don't know anything, but they're there for the improv for sure!

seyfert: we'll be here when you get off!

MadamePsychosis: we have to pop in and request the book then we have to get him to give it to us then we pop back out

GM: Now who is making inapropriate comments Lemon? see

Shislif: add Zay to that too Lemon!

seyfert: Easy peeasy~!
