'TMO' connected
GM: Hello there young man
GM: Sigh
GM: So we will have some pauses tonight then, the NPC speaks is still broken
TMO: aww
TMO: did you ever try loading the Hell module I sent you?
TMO: a week or two ago?
GM: I do not remember getting it
GM: But I can do that, I have an actual weekend this time
TMO: Honestly, I'm not certain I sent you the right file
TMO: yeah, by all means, ping me when you do test it. if it's nto right I'll try again
TMO: once we get it in the system right, we'll need to rebuild Fives using it for proper configs
GM: nods
TMO: I submitted him into a HeroForge contest. Doubt I'll win, but if he gets picked one of the expert Minifig builders will do a pretty miniature of him.
TMO: I've tried a few times, like I have the other PCs, but couldn't come up with a good design.
'Lorie' connected
GM: Hello Lorie
'Lemon' connected
GM: Hey there Lemon
Lorie: Evening all
Lemon: hello
GM: Welcome to the weekend
TMO: hola
Lorie: Ahhh-men
Lorie: It's been a week
TMO: was that an 'Amen' or “Ahhhh - MEN!”
Lorie: I'll leave that to you :)
GM: grins
Lorie: BOB - did you end up joining that 2e game? The timing wasn't great for me this week due to Paul's surgery
GM: no, I have a Traveller Game on every other Sunday to play in right now,
Lorie: Gotcha...
GM: Doing that so I can run a Traveller Game later this fall
'Lisa' connected
Lorie: :: nod ::
GM: Hello Lisa
Lorie: Evening Lisa
Branwyn: Hello! :)
TMO: ello!
GM: So the NPC chat is broken in this new update
GM: Meaning it will not show any names except Characters
Branwyn: really?
Branwyn: so PCs win!
GM: so some of this will be me creating Characters to chat
GM: LOL
TMO: or we just talk amongst ourselves
TMO: just make 3 and rename them as needed
GM: Exactly
Branwyn: so to fix bran's spell prep I have to uncheck all the spells and flood the chat?
Lorie: Eanie Minie Moe?
TMO: flood away
GM: you can if you wish Lisa
Branwyn: well it wouldn't let me memorize the right amount of spells
Branwyn: and the link you posted said to uncheck everything
GM: Nods, I am just saying do what you wish
Lorie: I'm going to read about a Chilean Bear -- let me know when I need to do something
GM: Chilly Bears?
Lorie: Ben, the Chilean bear (who is probably cold due to living in St. Louis) keeps escaping his habitat
Branwyn: Branwyn cast a spell NOT memorized.
Branwyn: something is stuck on my sheet
GM: How so?
Branwyn: everything says 0 but there are still 2 checks in 5th level and 1 in 3rd and I can't uncheck them
GM: go on and cast them
Branwyn: don't know what to cast as they all say 0
GM: ok I will open the sheet and check
Branwyn: icons at the top are really big - this was a weird update
GM: Icons look the same to me
GM: and unchecked everything for you Lisa
'Michael' connected
GM: On Branwyn at least
GM: how is Howard?
Branwyn: he has been fine
Branwyn: thanks
Michael: Again, I'm here tonight, but very much not able to contribure all that much. Hugs and stuff
GM: Glad to have you here Michael
Branwyn: grrr
Michael: I'm glad too. Just dizzy lol
Branwyn: something's wrong
GM: That covers so many things Lisa, wry grin
Branwyn: thanks
GM: That is weird
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, the icons are big for me too
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And Branwyn just had Bixi's photo?
Branwyn: I did not say thanks ...
GM: Ghosts in the machine
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And Reven's picture is... um... invisible? Like I can see the sword, but the background does not exist. Which is pretty cool, but I'm just not sure if that's new or intentional
GM: It is new not intentional but I like it
Michael: Reven ascended beyond the planes of pictures....
Lorie: :: checking back in :: Hey Michael - hope you're feeling better
GM: grins
Branwyn: 4 5th spell slots. I memorized 2 teleport, 1 telekinesis and 1 monster summoning. Went to combat view. All 4 spots checked. Went back to preparation and its says 1 teleport and 1 telekinesis and can't memorize any more
Branwyn: for the record - 2 teleport, 1 telekinesis and 1 monster summoning because you never know if you need monsters
Michael: Thank you Lorie. If anyone tells you Covid isn't so bad, let me have words with them. I'm so pissed and angry it istn' even funny. Now, I'm just mostly dizzy from medicine though so, I'm kind of chill at the moment, but in a few days I'm sure I'll be angry again
Lisa: I'm sorry Michael
Lisa: Are you on the anti-covid meds?
Michael: Why are you guys sorry lol
Michael: No. More like Niquill brand stuff, times 100
Lorie: I work in healthcare... I know two other folks who are struggling with what could be “long COVID” symptoms and am disappointed that they want to end the PHE
Lorie: where MILLIONS will lose coverage
Michael: I got the Migraine symptims from Severe Covid
Michael: On Wednesday they had to give me a drug cocktail to knock me out because my head was about to explode (my personal feeling was that it was anyways)
Michael: (i'm getting better, but if I get my hands on a certain family member in the next few days, I can't be held liable for my actions, no matter how much I love them)
GM: HUGS
Michael: Anyway, enough of my whining. Games to play.And I'm kinda mentally here so :) I'll do what I can
Michael: But your well wishes are most appreciated :)
GM: I am ready to RP things at the library when people want to go there
GM: Library
Bixi Fizzlebang: People say sorry because they're offering sympathy, not apologizing :P I, too, am sorry that you are feeling so bad. I got really lucky when I had it... no symptoms except a little tired.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): However, every cold I've gotten in the past year has absolutely decimated me in a way colds never used to before
Lisa: should we do the Identify now or after the library?
GM: TMO are you here?
GM: I think that makes sense
GM: Prior to the library
Lisa: I saw TMO has the command word but I can give it a couple rolls
Lisa: I brought the mage ring too
Branwyn: sitting in the salon with the group for breakfast
Branwyn: looks at the items laid out and puts on the monocle
Branwyn: [CAST] Identify
Branwyn: looks at Craigh's magic rope first
Branwyn: [d100 = 66]
Branwyn: [d100 = 4]
Branwyn: [d100 = 68]
GM: Very nice
GM: Rope of Entanglement, +1
GM: and the full command word to have it knott and un-knott on command
Lisa (Branwyn): all the good stuff?
Branwyn: looks at N'laea's elven quiver
Branwyn: [d100 = 19]
Branwyn: [d100 = 31]
Branwyn: [d100 = 60]
TMO: I'm here - sorry, dinner arrived, and I was fixing up wife's plate
GM: grins
GM: and for N'aea's quiver, it is a magical quiver of “never ending arrows” when in use during combat, but then needs to be replenished with actual real arrows afterwards for every arrow used before it will work again
TMO: she had her septum undeviated this morning, so she's just a tad immobilized while her body recovers
GM: and bonus she can pull a plus 1 arrow once per refill
Lisa (Branwyn): nice
Lisa (Branwyn): ouch TMO! Hope she feels better soon
GM: To be clear for that quiver... she shoots 50 arrows, until she reloads with 50 arrows it does not work
Licornah: Wishing her speedy recovery
Michael: To be clear, that is only when you declare a combat encounter “over” correct bob? Then they need to be refilled?
Michael: Send her my best wishes TMO :)
Michael: We're all in misery this week it seems! We should go get Ice Cream :)
TMO: will do! You get better soon too!
Michael: :D
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have ice cream, but my cough does not want it lol
TMO: the folks who brought dinner also brought cookies! :)
Lisa (Branwyn): yum!
Branwyn: looks at the dead mage's spell ring as to how to unlock and use it
Michael: I'm doing rootbeer floats becasue it's soothing on my throat LOL
Branwyn: [d100 = 45]
TMO: Bob - on the quiver - can she choose to refill it before it hits 50, or does she have to exhaust it before she can refill it?
Branwyn: [d100 = 73]
Branwyn: [d100 = 54]
GM: She has to refill how ever many arrows she shoots out before it will work again
TMO: ah, gotcha
TMO: so she could shoot 345 arrows, but then have to replentish it that much
GM: so shoot 2? refill 2 and it is good to go. shoot 100? until you go buy 100 arrows you cannot use it again
Lorie (Licornah): (it always has to have a total of 50?)
GM: The number of arrows shot out of it is the reset point
Lisa (Branwyn): so if she had 6 in it to start combat and needed 12 she could shoot 12 arrows but it won't work again until she puts a dozen in
Michael: So could be 1, could be 500
GM: Exactly for Lisa
GM: and PER COMBAT
TMO: the annoying part is if she shoots 2 in an encounter, but only has 1 on hand to fill it up, can't use it again until we reach a town
Michael: ah
GM: Yes to Michael
GM: It is magical (hah) for big combats, when her life depends on it... but for every day normal things? Still needs a supply of arrows
Lisa (Branwyn): just have to go around after combat yanking the arrows out of the dead things
Michael: Machine gun ballistae anyone?
TMO: so she has to always carry a quiver *and* a spare quiver, just to make sure she's got the refills to keep it active.
Michael: Or just keep the “Big One” on hand for shit hits the fan scenarios, and use the normal one until then
Michael: I honestly cannot remember the last tiem any of us ran out fo ammo
Michael: i'm not saying it hasnt' happened, I just don't remember
GM: Most combats do not last that long
Lisa (Branwyn): spell ring rolls?
Michael: Can we call it “Quiver of Credit?”
GM: Chuckles with Michael
GM: Ask Carissa when she is in
Michael: Interest free too
GM: and go for it Lisa
Lisa (Branwyn): lol Michael
Lisa (Branwyn): already rolled above
GM: Sorry what are we rolling for Lisa?
Lisa (Branwyn): the dead mage's spell ring
Lisa (Branwyn): time mage
GM: Ahh
Craigh: Bob - did I see right that the Rope is +1, so my Lasso attacks using it would be at +1, if I don't for some reason use the command words?
GM: Failure to understand and a plus 1 against creatures born after you
GM: Yes to TMO
TMO (Craigh): Just for everyone's personal enjoyment, when we rolled up Fives' gear, like the second item was a Rope of Entanglement. :P We said “Nahhhh!” and got something else.
Michael: is that a hindsight is 20/20 TMO?
Michael: Not sure if good or bad lol
TMO (Craigh): no, we've known since it was given to him what the Rope was. Only Craigh didn't know
Michael: Ah.gotcha :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So if she has like 15 arrows in the quiver, and uses 16 in combat, does she have to refill one to get it going again?
GM: 16
TMO (Craigh): 16, I think. The 15 would have been to refill after the last use
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So it's stupid for her to keep more than one arrow in the quiver, because it uses extra?
TMO (Craigh): so, technically, the quiver always has 0 in it. You can use imaginary arrows, say 16, which takes it down to -16, then you have to fill it back up to 0
GM: Yes to TMO but think of it starting at 12
TMO (Craigh): that works better. Starts at 12, but you can take it to negative numbers, but then have to fill it back up to 12
Bixi Fizzlebang: Idk, that sounds like it eats the extra
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
Bixi Fizzlebang: So if the start is 12, and she uses 13, she has to refill 13. What happens if the start is 12 and she uses 9? Who determines the starting number?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc again, sorry
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): math
Lisa: so you don't have to do the ring now if you weren't ready for it but I wanted the rolls on the record in case there were any spells on there that could be useful for hell
Lisa: speaking of math - your shadow monster spell description was making my head spin with the math! lol
GM: The two things about the ring I put there Lisa, “Something” that she did not understand, and a +1 ring against any creature born after the user
Lisa: oh I thought you were talking about the rope
GM: no worries
Lisa: she rolled 3 times on it - should she roll more? she's got 3 more rolls
Lisa: no use in having a ring she does not understand and an Identify spell that doesn't help her unmderstand ...
GM: No more on the ring, but if there are other things to check
Lisa: might as well just sell it then. it is of no use at all
GM: The thing she KNOWS is that there is something that she knows she does not know... similar to the idea of the crystal ball was magical but had no idea how it worked until she took it out of the Mists
Lisa: of jeeze - we are out of the mist
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): how is she supposed to figure out what the thing she doesn't know is?
TMO (Craigh): Interrogate the dead man. Seance time! :)
Michael: Expermient maybe
Michael: Or another mage might know
Lisa: that's what I was thinking - maybe a seance when we get back to the Inn
TMO (Craigh): knowing they don't know something is like a drug forwizards!
Lisa: she can put it on and start waving her hand around
Michael: +1 to Dopamine Levels when worn
Lisa: too bad this isn't her house any more
GM: Yes to Lisa, so going on that idea... this ring has something that is weird and she cannot understand..... so where does she need to take it to get that access
TMO (Craigh): Gonna go Back in Time!
GM: grins
Lisa: Back to ... the future?
GM: Huey Lewis and the News
Branwyn: Branwyn is disappointed after all thsi time not to get any useful information.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I support the seance
Branwyn: It's not even a very attractive ring.
TMO (Craigh): of course you do, Ghost Writer
Branwyn: puts it on her hand to see how it feels through the day
TMO (Craigh): Bam! Cursed!
Michael: Begins the first cycle of Groundhogs Day
Lisa: ok that's done
Lisa: who wants to go to the library?
GM: Lorie?
TMO (Craigh): available, if deemed worth the weight
Lisa: 5 traveled here okay so 4 people can go with Bran
GM: Jenn is off at the Celestry for three days, she will (WOW how did that happen?) be back at the time that Branwyn is back at the Residence and ready to leave
Lisa: how did what happen?
Lorie (Licornah): Sorry - did you need me?
Lisa: want to go to the library?
Lorie (Licornah): Oh, if there is space... if not, I'm okay to hang back
Lisa: there's room :)
Lorie (Licornah): Then I'm in
Lisa: so Craigh, Licornah, Bixi? and one of Carissa's characters?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, I wasn't planning on going, but I definitely will
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
'Carissa' connected
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But works both I guess
GM: Hello Carissa
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Great, now you can explain the math to Carissa, because I'm still unsure of who decides the starting point for that quiver and if it just eats arrows
GM: Carissa, your quiver has 12 arrows in it, you can shoot (in a combat) how ever many arrows you want, (500) but after the combat you have to refill the arrows back up to 12 to be able to use the quiver again
Lisa: Hi Carissa :)
GM: Also once per combat you can pull out a +1 arrow
Carissa: Hi all!
Michael: So,512 arrows Carissa :)
Craigh: even if you shoot just 1 arrow (in a combat), it won't work again until you put 1 arrow back in
Michael: Also Hi!
GM: Yes to TMO
Carissa: Okay cool.
Michael: Why do I feel this is one of those logic number puzzles....
Carissa: So she'll just carry around normal arrows in her other quiver - one on the hip, one on the back, and switch them as she needs?
GM: That is an option
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That is such a more understandable explanation than the first time lol
GM: and so Branwyn, Bixi, Criagh, Licornah, and (Rae or N'alea) are going to the library
Lorie (Licornah): Evening Carissa
TMO (Craigh): woohoohoo! Look at her! Ms Strong Woman over here! Able to carry TWO whole quivers, while we're carrying .... not'ing! No quivers at all! They're TOO heavy! (read in Miracle Max's voice)
Carissa: LOL
Michael: I just placed the voice lol
TMO (Craigh): Bob - quick question about the Rope: if he entangles more than one target, can he unentangle selected ones, or does he have to unentangle all of them at once?
GM: Yes he now has the full control
GM: BUT it is very hard to entangle more than one and then unentangle only one
TMO (Craigh): Also, if he currently has fewer then the max amount entangled, can he add new ones if they're in range? Or is it busy until those caught are released?
GM: as in most times it it two creatures bound together
TMO (Craigh): up to 8 man-sized creatures
GM: no, without letting everyone go, cannot then add
TMO (Craigh): unless you modify it
GM: smiles
TMO (Craigh): just planning tactics is all. Don't grab just one scout, go for whole warbands. ;)
GM: Branwyn gathers everyone together and ????
TMO (Craigh): Entangle Attack!
Carissa: (sorry forgot I had to do one last thing for work - full attention in a minute or two)
Craigh: Craigh puts on his traveling hat.
Branwyn: Howard, we're going to go get the book from the library. If we're not back by dinner time you might want to check if we've been tossed in prison
Howard Plum: Please do not get “tossed” in prison
Craigh: Thanks for checking this thing out for me, Branwyn. It's been bugging me what it was. I was getting ready to give it a try myself, even though I probably couldn't have gotten anything.
Branwyn: Glad to have helped and I am sorry I did not do it sooner
Craigh: shrugs. “Priorities.”
Branwyn: Howard, prison is never the goal. Likely we shall be back with the book and be no worse for wear
Branwyn: smiles
Howard Plum: sighs
Gerald Whitwatcher: “Ambassador's attche” I hope you are not locked up but if you give me time I can get you out”
Craigh: pretends to make a note in his notebook. “Prison.... Bad. Got it!”
GM: NPC names do not work in chat right now
Branwyn: Thank you Gerald. Again, I do hope it will not be necessary
Branwyn: Is everyone ready?
Lisa (Branwyn): was stalling for Carissa ...
Michael: Off, that's bad bob.
Carissa: (go for it - I'm reading almost done!)
Michael: I know not your fault, just might become confusing fast
GM: I created Illporn as a character to be able to talk as him
Michael: come again?
Branwyn: takes hold of everyone and concentrates on the library reading room
Branwyn: [CAST] Teleport
GM: Lisa cna speak to the pun in his name
Branwyn: [d100 = 17]
Michael: Nope, still firmly in Lemon's camp on that one
Lorie (Licornah): (ready here)
GM: The group arrives in the lobby of the Royal Library without an appointment and past all the guards
Lisa (Branwyn): I know of no puns unless you want to ILL porn and there are definitely easier ways to get porn
GM: There you go Lisa
Carissa: LOL
GM: Thank you
TMO (Craigh): my best guess is *InterLibrary Loan*
Lisa (Branwyn): yes
Carissa: but why porn
Michael: I threw up a bit
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yep. It's just as bad as I expected.
GM: grins
Carissa: shutting down work computer but maybe regretting you getting my full attention now
Michael: Well Lemon, congrats! You were right :)
Branwyn: Here we are. Step one completed successfully
Lorie (Licornah): Of all the topics... this ithis is where we land? Pr0n?
GM: BUT ILL (inter library loan) Porn (as in getting something you want but do not want anyone to know you want it) works so well for this
GM: and I did that 8 years ago!!!!
Michael: pick another verb. Like, questionables
Lisa (Branwyn): why don't I want people to know I want porn?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Strongly disagree about everything here
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
Michael: LOLOLOL Lisa
GM: LOL Lisa
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But also... it's ok to say porn, lol, we are all adults here... I hope
Michael: We are, it's that we are the bad kind of adultsto see those words and not be childish about it :)
Carissa: oh no I forgot about another work deadline I missed got to go guys....
Lisa (Branwyn): no!
GM: Sucks Carissa
Lisa (Branwyn): we'll hide the porn
Bixi Fizzlebang: Why not like “Illselfhelp”
Carissa: (LOL)
Michael: LOL
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc again
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): or like, “ILLAnyForDummiesBook”
Carissa: (sorry should have tacked a /s on there for some of you)
GM: grins
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or like “IllReiki” (sorry if I offend anyone with that one, just not my personal belief wheelhouse)
GM: so the group is there
Carissa: (was it just Nae?)
GM: You pick Carissa
GM: which one
Carissa: (any preference Lisa? your heist here)
Lisa (Branwyn): whoever you want
Carissa: (although of the names listed Nae is the least squishy so we'll go with that)
Carissa: (...just in case....)
Carissa (N'laea): (and if she doesn't have a dagger, she can stab someone with neverending arrows now!)
TMO (Craigh): is supremely squishy
Branwyn: Let's hope Illporn still works here
GM: As you arrive you startle some clerk who “SQUEEEKS' and runs away
Branwyn: walks into the reading room
Branwyn: That was odd
Craigh: follows and looks around very curiously.
Branwyn: approaches the desk
N'laea: Running away in surprise?
Branwyn: Hello?
Librarian Illporn: Limps into the room with his cane
Librarian Illporn: Hello can I help....
Licornah: :: takes in the library from their vantage point ::
Branwyn: Librarian Illporn?
GM: (Sigh, this is Illporn sorry from now on presume it is he that is speaking)
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 8]
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 14]
Librarian Illporn: I know you
Librarian Illporn: How do I know you?
Branwyn: I'm Branwyn the Mysterious
Branwyn: Former Ambassador from Drillian?
Librarian Illporn: Hmmm looks at your companions, I do not recognize any of these people
Librarian Illporn: Your face looks familiar but
Branwyn: They are new friends
Librarian Illporn: Did you sign in at the front desk?
Branwyn: I transcribed many magic books for you. Invited you to Ashcroft Manor for seances.
Librarian Illporn: The Prince, she is very insistant that we keep good records
Branwyn: Froze an apprentice here?
Librarian Illporn: OH OH OH
Librarian Illporn: YOU
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
Librarian Illporn: Shuffles forward....
Michael: (froze an apprentice here? Yep, that's the one)
Michael: LOL
Librarian Illporn: Bows a bit
Librarian Illporn: Thank you!
Librarian Illporn: It has been .... years, maybe decades....
Branwyn: Thank me?
Librarian Illporn: you were in my youth
Branwyn: I hope it hasn't been that long
Branwyn: It doesn't feel that way to me
Librarian Illporn: You helped me establish so many rules about stopping people from using the library
Branwyn: laughs
Librarian Illporn: What brings you back ?
Branwyn: I'm glad I could be of service
Librarian Illporn: Who are these people with you?
Branwyn: Well ... one of the things that happened here I haven't been able to shake
Librarian Illporn: Elves all around, is that why you have been gone so long?
Branwyn: This is Licornah
Branwyn: And N'laea
Licornah: :: nods ::
Librarian Illporn: Greetings Fair Elven Lady
Librarian Illporn: I hope our lands are bright for you
Branwyn: And this is Craigh, a book binder and archivist, and Bixi, a great story teller
Librarian Illporn: Book Binders are a very honorable craft, welcome
Librarian Illporn: and a story teller, that is a great boon to any library
Branwyn: Everyone, this is Illporn the Royal Librarian
Librarian Illporn: Warm smiles
Bixi Fizzlebang: does her usual awkward curtsey thing
Librarian Illporn: Welcome to the Royal Library of Dryads Lair
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I hate his name so much.
Librarian Illporn: How can we help you
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Where is Zayden to give him a nickname?
GM: (Bixi will have to assist)
Craigh: offers a bow.
Craigh: Master Librarian, I'm honored.
Librarian Illporn: Looks at Craigh, How are your rates Sir?
N'laea: is quiet
TMO (Craigh): (sorry, was bringing meds to sicko)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ouch, TMO, ouch
Librarian Illporn: I can pay you 100 GP a month if you stay and assist with repairing book bindings
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No need to talk about Illporn that way
Craigh: That depends on the task, Sir, but I think I deliver for my fees.
GM: (LOL Lemon)
Lorie (Licornah): (Sounds like we all need the medical ward, Paul is recovering from his knee surgery this week )
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Just because he loans out porn doesn't mean he's a sicko
GM: (he still has one good knee Lorie, grins)
Michael: 100GP a MONTH? holy shit! Bookbinding is a lucartative trade. Bob, did you base that off of our actualy history? Like, how Archivists in Rome and Egypt were basically right hands of royalty?
Lorie (Licornah): (LOL - he's had a week)
GM: (grins with Michael.... are you sure you want to learn Two Handed Sword mastery? wink)
Lisa (Branwyn): yes Craigh decides not to leave now
Michael: In real life, I love my Archival degree, in D&D I like swinging a sword :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, good thing we've got Fives coming in for TMO. Bye Craigh, I'll miss you
Craigh: I'd have to discuss it with the Countess, as she'd have to come back to pick me up, or I can arrange an alternate passage home.
Michael: And just so you know bob, I get a contact high when stiching a bookbinding
Branwyn: Hmmm
Branwyn: Interesting
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nice! I briefly made my own journals out of whatever that stuff is they use to frame pictures with. But then I lost my supply of that. Also I wanted to make my own paper from scraps but that seemed like so much work.
Branwyn: I was hoping you could bring up a book I looked at when I was here last
Librarian Illporn: Sighs, you want THAT book don't you?
Craigh: chuckles.
Branwyn: Yes. Fiendomicon of Iggwilv
Librarian Illporn: Why? It was so much trouble the last time you were here
Librarian Illporn: and then others heard about it and wanted to try it
Branwyn: It still has its curse upon me
Michael: lol
Librarian Illporn: and we spend five eight years dealing with it
Branwyn: Did you let them?
Michael: Let's all open the cused book!
Librarian Illporn: GOOD
Branwyn: Good?
Librarian Illporn: If you are cursed then that explains why none of the other people could open the book
Branwyn: They couldn't even open it?
Librarian Illporn: That means I do not have to worry anymore
Librarian Illporn: it will just stay locked away
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, Michael trying to be the voice of reason about a cursed book after making friends with a cursed sword?
Branwyn: No no no.
Librarian Illporn: no one will need to bother it again
Branwyn: I need that book
Librarian Illporn: Why?
Librarian Illporn: It is cursed
Michael: Books are my friends long before weapons were :)
Branwyn: Because it cursed me! I need to remove it
Librarian Illporn: Go talk with the Celstry
Librarian Illporn: that is what they do
Branwyn: And the only way to do that is to return it
Michael: You could say....”I'ts overdue!”
Librarian Illporn: It is here, it is returned? still here? how can you say.... it never left?
Branwyn: They cannot remove this. I am marked by a guardian from hell
Librarian Illporn: I am sorry
Librarian Illporn: Was that the thing that happened when you were here?
Branwyn: You're sorry! This curse turns my correspondence into hellhounds
Librarian Illporn: Then I came to the ambassadors residence and there were those things that appeared
Branwyn: Yes when the mark of the hunt left the book and centered on me
Librarian Illporn: You are an ambassador you have other people to read things for you
Branwyn: You do not understand. It changes before it touches me. No one can read it
Branwyn: But that is beside the point
Librarian Illporn: Looks at Bixi, Storyteller, can you read?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ah, only in Gnomish, but yes!
Librarian Illporn: Good so you can read for the Ambassador
Branwyn: This book is not Princess Dassani's. It is not the Royal Family's
Librarian Illporn: and have any hellhounds sprung out of your books?
GM: (say it Lisa.... say it .... grins)
Bixi Fizzlebang: whisper to Craigh “Do you get the feeling this guy only hears what he wants to hear?”
Michael: (It belongs in a Museaum?)
Branwyn: slams her hand on the desk
Branwyn: Illporn. That book is here on Inter Library Loan from Hell and the originating library wants their damned book back
Craigh: throws a quickl smile at Bixi and goes back to studying the librarian.
Michael: LOL
Michael: Coughing becase I am laughing in pain
Craigh: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 1]
Librarian Illporn: Well then that is important
Michael: Goddamn that was good
Michael: lisa
Branwyn: Yes it is
Michael: Please save this quote
Michael: please
Carissa (N'laea): (yup)
N'laea: is impressed.
Librarian Illporn: So you have the ticket?
Branwyn: No I don't have the ticket.
Branwyn: pulls out a red scroll from her pouch
Librarian Illporn: Well how can I give you a book for another library if you do not have the ticket for the book
Librarian Illporn: Ahhhh
Branwyn: I do have a message from them though
Librarian Illporn: There we go
Librarian Illporn: Takes the scroll
Branwyn: I would not advise opening it
Michael: But it will spawn a hellhound, so have fun!
Librarian Illporn: Are you certain this is from that library?
Branwyn: You don't know what will come out
Craigh: I think we can guess what it says from the outside.
Branwyn: I am certain that it contains hellish creatures of fire that will cause destruction if you open it here
Michael: in the library
Michael: full of flamable material
Branwyn: I do not recommend opening it but know that this is how I know it needs to be returned
Librarian Illporn: Certainly, overdue fines are often calculated based on the ability to pay, you have the ability to deal with a large cost
Branwyn: the book
TMO (Craigh): (I assume there's nothing of interest in this room besides the librarian Bob?)
Branwyn: And I am sure I will have to pay a cost to the Librarian from Hell
Branwyn: I will assume that debt for the Royal Library who kept it too long
Librarian Illporn: You do have the weight and purse of a Kingdom at your disposal
Craigh: Pardon, Countess? Out of curiosity, are you the one who 'borrowed' this book in the first place? I don't think I've ever heard the full story.
Michael: Nice Lisa.
Michael: I think they forget that you can redirect hells wrath back here for “holding” the book
Michael: “when you are actively attempting to return it”
Librarian Illporn: Looks at Licornah, are you here because of the Pact?
Branwyn: I did not. The book is in the possession of the Royal Library. I was only called in to assist in the reading and transcribing of it
Licornah: Me? Oh, I'm not from around these parts, I'm here to see the library
Lisa (Branwyn): yes with a 1 on your obs roll Craigh should be able to see something good!
Licornah: It's quite nice, reminds me of one of the nicer ones in Silverymoon
Michael: (Were you ever compensated for your pain sufferign and job well done Lisa?)
Michael: (Because it seem slike they are blood sucking leaches)
Lisa (Branwyn): lol - not at all Michael
Licornah: Any chance you have a book on unicorn hunting?
Craigh: So as a result of doing the Library a favor, you've been cursed, and are now volunteering to pay whatever overdue fee the Library has accrued for holding the book in the first place? That seems a trifle unbalanced to me, Sir Librarian. Are you willing to let this imbalance stand?
Librarian Illporn: The previous Librarians took possession of the book after the wizards fell during the construction of the Wall. When they failed to account for the cost of what they had borrowed it fell to the Royal Library to keep all the research items until they could be returned
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 3]
Craigh: And the Countess is volunteering to do that job, in your stead.
Michael: history i'll need to lookup
Michael: that sounds cool
Librarian Illporn: It is not that I wish the Ambassador harm, but she did take it upon herself to explore the book when it was locked away to keep everyone safe from it
Michael: Uh, it sounds like they specifically asked her to do so????
Michael: what the fudge?
Branwyn: You brought it out and put it on the table for me to open! I didn't ask for it
Librarian Illporn: Which I am very happy to have her take this tome and return it
Branwyn: shakes her head
Librarian Illporn: I did specifically tell you not to unlock it
Bixi Fizzlebang: Great, sounds like it's settled!
Branwyn: Yes please bring the book
Lorie (Licornah): (Ye olde gaslighting is weird...)
Librarian Illporn: I just need the ticket from the owning library so that I can release it
Michael: Ye Olde? Nah, just plain gaslighting :)
Librarian Illporn: Or at least a suitable assurance
N'laea: We can take you with us to get it.
Michael: This seem s like textbook
Librarian Illporn: The Prince will want to know, she is most insistant
Librarian Illporn: She sees herself as a new guiding light for enlightenment
Librarian Illporn: Full of the warm glow of knowledge
Bixi Fizzlebang: So send her a message
Librarian Illporn: She is very into radient images
Lorie (Licornah): Oh, what priestess does she follow? Mielikki? Mystara?
N'laea: There will be plenty of warmth when we get the ticket if she wishes to come.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Oooh, I know someone who makes a radiant lotion! I'm sure she'd be glad to make some for your prince!
Librarian Illporn: She might be appreciative of your gifts
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Licornah should ask that IC, that might be useful info
Michael: I think my problem is that I feel that bureaucrats in this world have a lack of self preservation for common sense that makes me wonder if it's me, or just the actual world of politics that grew independently of our own and that is where I am disconnecting what I think something should be, versus what this worlds version of common sense is.
Craigh: Well (gestures at the scroll), we could let the owning Library make their own case right here and now.
Carissa (N'laea): (how many other ways can I say go to Hell here...)
Lorie (Licornah): (Whoops, thought it was IC)
Michael: And that is my medicine speaking> I'm going to stop typing for awhile
Lorie (Licornah): What priestess does she follow? Mielikki? Mystara? Lurue?
Licornah: (ugh OOC again..)
Licornah: What priestess does she follow? Mielikki? Mystara? Lurue?
Librarian Illporn: I am not certain who those are, at least Mielikke sounds very .... Suomi... and not spoken of in pleasent company
Branwyn: The Prince is most likely of the Kayugan faith
Librarian Illporn: I am most certain that the Prince believes in a good strong Kaugan faith as it expected from someone like her
GM: (note, female pronoun, male title)
GM: ( I think that was obvious)
Branwyn: What do you want for the book Illporn?
Carissa (N'laea): (noted earlier but care more about getting the book soooo...)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Same, but cared more about the glitter lotion
Licornah: Mielikki is the patron goddess of Silverymoon with Lurue... Kaugan, I'm not not familiar with
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
Carissa (N'laea): (Rae has been getting more glitter while you all browse the library)
Librarian Illporn: I need something from you Ambassador to ensure that once you take this from here I can prove you had the right to keep it
Lorie (Licornah): (BOB, to be clear SHE is a Prince or a Princess? You've used both to refer to her... want to ensure I'm following)
Librarian Illporn: I understand your desire
Branwyn: Bring me the book and I will open it and you will know that the book is mine to take
Lisa (Branwyn): Illporn has no comprehension of her desire
GM: (It is a woman, female, but the role/posistion she is in is the Prince of Dryads Lair... so it does not matter male or female, it is a Prince)
Craigh: looks around the room to see if there's anything for him to climb up in case something goes very wrong
Lorie (Licornah): (Got it... thanks for clarifying)
Licornah: :: wanders over to a shelf of books to start looking for something on unicorns ::
Librarian Illporn: I believe you Branwyn the Mysterious
Librarian Illporn: I truely do
Librarian Illporn: I know you have been touched by this book, I saw it
Librarian Illporn: and I saw the results
Librarian Illporn: Yet I need something for my Prince before I can let such an artifact leave the Library
Branwyn: What do you want?
Michael: (How about an invitation to visit Drillian sometime?)
Branwyn: It is an artifact that no one can open or use
Librarian Illporn: Idealy I would like a ticket that shows ownship of this book to the library where ever it is
Branwyn: It does not provide knowledge
Craigh: So, if it was your wizards who borrowed the book, they must have had the ticket. Which means, if you have their stuff, you have the ticket.
Librarian Illporn: That wizard that borrowed the book has died long ago
Librarian Illporn: Or however they aquired it
Branwyn: It is not your book to quibble over
Librarian Illporn: Ambassador I know that this book contains extremely valuable knowledge to those who understand spells such as those
Librarian Illporn: Calm stern look at Branwyn
Branwyn: It doesn't if I am the only one on this plane that can open it
Librarian Illporn: It is a book in the Royal Library, it is my book to protect
Michael: Wait, in all seriousness, can you just give your stamp of authenticity as Countess Branwny the Myserious of Drillian? You aren' an ambassador anymore, you are a real political person. She isn't asking for much, just a “Ticket”. You, serving as an expert witness with a seal of authenticity will satisify her need right?
Librarian Illporn: Anyone can open this book
Librarian Illporn: Only you apparently can be cursed by this book
Librarian Illporn: and so you are the only one who can understand this book
Librarian Illporn: I have heard of at least one wizard who has gone in search of you to kill you
Branwyn: So it is useless to anyone but me and hell
Librarian Illporn: so that they might have a chance at the book
Branwyn: laughs
Michael: wow
Michael: Words failme
Librarian Illporn: I am glad they did not succed
Michael: We can kill these effers now
Craigh: Would a permission slip from the Prince be acceptable? Since the Head Librarian doesn't seem to have the authority?
Branwyn: I will transcribe and bind you a new copy of the book before I return it
Lorie (Licornah): (Can't we just take him and the book? Isn't her blood to open the book more proof than a ticket that could be forged or replicated?)
Branwyn: You will lose no knowledge
Librarian Illporn: Thinks
Bixi Fizzlebang: Wait, when we first got here, you said no one else has been able to open the book
Lisa (Branwyn): yes ...
Bixi Fizzlebang: is EXTREMELY SUSPICIOUS OF THIS DUDE
GM: (considers with the rolls that Craigh made earlier to convince him about his skills also)
TMO (Craigh): (I threw a secret Persuasion roll in - no idea what the result was)
Michael: Man, we have to find a way to balance the karmic scales when all of this is said and done. People treat Branwny like she's their own personal valet service for cool shit
Lisa (Branwyn): I forgot to cast mine - so used to not using it
Librarian Illporn: Can any of you cast a binding curse?
Craigh: Binding Books only, sorry.
Branwyn: I do not curse people or things. I get cursed! Apparently.
TMO (Craigh): (Craigh's is the skill of Persuasion, not a spell)
Librarian Illporn: If you have a way of binding yourself to the promise of returning the knowledge of this book back to the Royal Library, I can take that as your reciept for this tome
Branwyn: looks at Licornah and Bixi
Branwyn: Anyone have a geas spell?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No?
Michael: And now you have met every Administrator from the National Archvies and Records Administration :)
Michael: Congrats guys!
Michael: (In all seriousness, they are cool, but remind me of this dude)
Carissa (N'laea): lol
TMO (Craigh): given recent discoveries, this guy actually seems better able to keep track of his books
GM: (LOL TMO)
Lisa (Branwyn): most NARA people are really nice - just not the ones in College Park
Lorie (Licornah): (I can bestow a curse :) )
Michael: No comment on TMO
Michael: Because my heart hurt
Branwyn: [CAST] Otto’s Silver Tongue
Branwyn: [SAVE VS] Otto’s Silver Tongue
N'laea: Must it be a magical binding?
GM: (If you can curse Licornah then you can accomplish that, just have to word it correctly)
Lisa (Branwyn): he gets to roll a save
Michael: Ah, sorry Lisa. Forgot you deal with NARA :)
Illporn: [d20 = 2]
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can turn your arms into branches though
GM: (That is a save)
Carissa (N'laea): (that one was interesting, wasn't it?)
Lorie (Licornah): (Wording suggestions taken... trying to share spell, but not having luck)
Bixi Fizzlebang: I would think your Prince would be willing to accept the word of a Countess as ticket enough.
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 7]
TMO (Craigh): (and I got nothing against the NARA people, never dealt with them. And they also have to deal with people making copies. they may *have* kept track of all the originals, but copies are much harder to handle)
Bestow Curse
: Bestow Curse
Lisa (Branwyn): something like if Branwyn doesn't give them a copy of the book then she gets cursed in some weird way of your choosing
Michael: Unauthorized Disposotion in the fed government is no joke. It's a real serious issue
Michael: I mean, not like saying that solumly, just is a real challenge
Michael: ayway, ignore me
Michael: lol
Michael: sorry
Lisa (Branwyn): no woorries
Librarian Illporn: Young gnome story teller, you are not imaginative enough to see why a simple country Countess does not matter to the Prince of Dyrads Lair, only one step away from the Royal Crown of Terraguard
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm imaginative enough to see why she WOULD matter!
Librarian Illporn: Why our very King was here in Dryads Lair with the Ambassador
N'laea: Are you not a Princess as well, Branwyn?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Branwyn the Mysterious cleared the mist!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): at the inn
Librarian Illporn: What is the Mist?
Bixi Fizzlebang: And fends off hellhounds!
Bixi Fizzlebang: And bested a time-wielding mage!
Branwyn: Thank you but the Librarian is correct that I am not significant in comparison to the leaders of Terraguard. I recognize that
Carissa (N'laea): (maybe time to whip out all those titles?)
Bixi Fizzlebang: He just doesn't know how powerful you really are
Michael: yeah, gotta be useful for something amirite?
Bixi Fizzlebang: You are really selling yourself short here
Branwyn: smiles
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Coming from the shortest person in the room, that should mean something
GM: (quote)
Carissa (N'laea): (I can't remember them all, but she's at least a princess - come onnn)
Branwyn: Drillian is very small in comparison
Carissa (N'laea): (and lol to Lemon)
Michael: we gotta start climbing the empire charts Lisa, just pull the rest of us up there with you :)
Michael: One day we can walk in and slide our Amex Black and say, I want one of every color please
Carissa (N'laea): (and blessed by a goddess! got that gem things to prove it?)
Carissa (N'laea): (maybe that'll be impressive)
Branwyn: However. I am a mage to be reckoned with and I have a friend that is willing to curse me if I do not deliver to you what I have promised
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'll be honest, I don't really like this idea
Librarian Illporn: We have several young priests here, they will be glad to witness you being cursed so you can take this tome
Michael: WITNESS
Bixi Fizzlebang: We barely even know Licornah... I mean, no offense, Licornah, you're PROBABLY great, but you're so quiet, I just don't know that yet
Branwyn: If I promise you a bound copy of the book then that is what I will give you.
Branwyn: That is fine
Licornah: :: Shrugs ::
Librarian Illporn: I will be happy with a bound copy of this book and you returning it to the library where it belongs
Librarian Illporn: That is all I ask
Bixi Fizzlebang: Wait... how long does it take to copy a book?
Branwyn: Then we have a deal
Bixi Fizzlebang: Can you just like, copy it here and then we'll take it when we're done?
Michael: (I think wemight actually have something that can help with that, but it's a fuzzy memory)
Librarian Illporn: I do need that promise assured by priestly magic
Branwyn: It is not the first time I have had curses and geas placed upon me and I am still standing
Michael: Rolls eyes
TMO (Craigh): (cue song lyrics)
N'laea: It cannot be worse than a curse from Hell.
TMO (Craigh): (yes, there is a spell Howard has that can make it much faster)
Librarian Illporn: You may speak of that to the Prince of which is worse, I will not speak to that
Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean maybe, but why risk it if we don't absolutely have to?
Michael: If we just don't have the promise spell necessary, just have one of the library priests cast it?
Branwyn: It takes a while to copy a whole book and she does not have a copy spell. If she's the only one that can read it, Howard can't help
Michael: Hm. You can't read aloud and have soemone transcribe?
TMO (Craigh): (we can make a scroll of Copy for Branwyn to use)
Lisa (Branwyn): oops - need to fix that for IC
Michael: Shoot
Bixi Fizzlebang: is visibly frustrated with the options
Michael: Okay TMO
Michael: Sorry, was panicking on Lisa's behalf
GM: (if you can do it “in house” you can solve this yourselves, or get someon other priest to cast the curse for you
Branwyn: So Illporn bring your priest and watch me get cursed
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean I'm sure it's fine, ooc, but IC, Bixi is worried
Carissa (N'laea): (again)
TMO (Craigh): (nah, we got options Michael - including nuking the site from orbit and sifting through the rubble)
Lisa (Branwyn): lol Carissa
Lorie (Licornah): (Sorry, I'm ready to cast the curse when ready... I thought it wasn't needed?)
GM: (He does not have one, would have to send to the Celestry)
Michael: lol TMO. Fun fact, you can visit the National Archives in the video game Fallout 3! For a reference no one here will understand lol
Lisa (Branwyn): ok - so Licornah is best
GM: (Lorie go for it)
Bixi Fizzlebang: makes a note in her notebook “pornman is super creepy and into curses. no thank you.”
Lisa (Branwyn): she needs to set conditions?
Michael: LOL to bixi
Carissa (N'laea): Not sure I played 3 it's been years
Michael: As always
Lorie (Licornah): :: makes curse wording with Branwyn's suggestions -- pronny gets a copy of the book for his library else curse ::
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What is the reference that no one will get? I know what both the national archives are AND what fallout 3 is.
Michael: Of the many things I no longer love, I count my blessings that books, video games, and well, this game I guess? is still one of the things I do love lol
Michael: LOL.Oh sorry Lemon
-> Licornah: Thank you
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's a bunch of nerds here, we know stuff
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
GM: and did anyone see anything else about that whisper>?
Carissa (N'laea): Ooooh it tells us when your whispering now
Michael: I never really got the impression most of us play video games. TMO said one of our options was to Nuke the site from Orbit, which brought to my mind the destroyed “nuked” national archives in Washington DC in Fallout 3 lol
Licornah: :: nod ::
N'laea -> Bixi Fizzlebang: testing testing 1 2 3
GM: grins, thank you Carissa
Carissa (N'laea): but does it show whispers between players?
Bixi Fizzlebang -> N'laea: I'm not sure how I feel about this. My rock opera lyrics will go back to being annoying
GM: It has always done that for me
Lisa (Branwyn): no just that you're doing it
Lorie (Licornah): (I play lots of video games... but first person shooters and war games aren't really my thing)
TMO (Craigh): surprisingly, I don't play hardly any games. too many hobbies already, not enough hours in the day
N'laea -> Bixi Fizzlebang: maybe it's just initiation whisper
Carissa (N'laea): for each whisper?
GM: Smiles
Lisa (Branwyn): yes
Carissa (N'laea): there's been three between Lemon and me now
TMO (Craigh): although I have watched quite a few videos talking about games to make up for it
Michael: LOL :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I also play lots of video games. Not tons of RPGs, but I do know about a lot of them, and have watched other people play bits of various Fallouts
Bixi Fizzlebang -> N'laea: How will we find out?
'Shislif' connected
N'laea -> Bixi Fizzlebang: lisa says yes
Michael: So Lorie, you more into like Civ? Baldurs Gate? Lisa has great taste in Isometric games I do know that
Carissa (N'laea): Hmm that can actually be annoying if it says that for each whisper and not the convo as a whole
GM: I added that Extension so that people would know there was whispering going on, not what was being said
GM: to make sure people did not think nothing was happening
Bixi Fizzlebang -> N'laea: yeah, this seems like a bad choice. Sorry, BOB.
GM: chuckles with Lemon
TMO (Craigh): it's nice because we're not just sitting here in apparently dead silence
Lorie (Licornah): (I used to play Baldurs Gate, but I play WoW, Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, Dreamlight Valley, Slime Ranchers... )
Carissa (N'laea): So you've seen five whispers now from Lemon/me, correct?
Carissa (N'laea): (asking people who are not BOB)
Michael: The more you know! Whta's your poison Lemon?)
Lorie (Licornah): (lots of whipering a foot...good thing I'm not paranoid j/k)
Carissa (N'laea): Ok yes then this might not be a good extension if it's for every single whisper.
Carissa (N'laea): It's nice knowing it's happening, but not for every single convo...
Sharif: hey everybody happy friday :)
TMO (Craigh): GM - Licornah; Licornah - GM; N'laea - Bixi; Bixi - N'laea; N'laea - Bixi; Bixi - N'laea; N'laea - Bixi; Bixi - N'laea;
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I tend toward sandboxy things, but... this would be a long conversation and I don't want to keep distracting lol
GM: Hey there Sharif! Sorry to miss your entrance
Lisa (Branwyn): Hi Sharif! :)
Carissa (N'laea): Yup that'll be a distraction
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yay, Zayden!
Carissa (N'laea): (Hi Sharif!)
Lorie (Licornah): (Evening Sharif!!!)
Sharif: No worries seems like a hot debate going on :)
TMO (Craigh): Gonna get even hotter if that scroll gets unrolled
Carissa (N'laea): sorry got distracted by an extension when we were in the middle of cursing
Michael: Hi Sharif :) hey quick ask, what video games if any do you like? I've been properly reminded this is a group of nerds and am getting everyone's preferences....
Lorie (Licornah): (Nah, just a chat about whipering and an add-on that might be more of a distraction than help :) )
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I like the idea of it saying it once, but not every time. The reason I do the whispering in the first place is usually so I'm not distracting from the main story going on with whatever silliness I happen to be getting into at the time
Sharif: Oh I've played a bunch of game, but as of now and what's holding most of my attention is Valheim
Michael: Ah, good to know thanks :)
GM: so Licornah is cursing Branwyn
Sharif: But I played Stardew Valley too, a lil slime rancher
TMO (Craigh): (I don't find the whispers distracting - I actually like it, because then I know the others are here and participating)
Sharif: the action games
Michael: Damn! Lots of slime ranching going on. I need to check this game out
Lorie (Licornah): (:: high fives Sharif :: Welcome to the Club -- as long as you're anti Shane, we're good :) )
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, but are you aware of how much Reven and Talwin, and Bixi and Zayden talk when other important shit is happening?
Sharif: Well I tried slime rancher but didn't get much into it tbh
TMO (Craigh): Not yet, but I'm willing to be
Lorie (Licornah): (Slime Rancher has a 1 and 2, we're playing mostly 1)
Carissa (N'laea): we can wait and find out lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wow, you just gonna judge Shane like that? Ouch
Sharif: I tend to pjlay a lot of games but not finish them, adhd style :)
GM: LOL
Carissa (N'laea): but with the knowledge that once we DO find out we might say no to the extension
Michael: lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We all have our demons. Some of us more literally than others (cough Branwyn)
GM: yes Lemon says Whispers will be distracting
Michael: LOL
GM: go for it Licornah
GM: winks at Lemon
Sharif: Oh Witcher 3 that was a top notch game
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean... I don't know that they will be. Because if this stays in place, I will most likely cut WAY BACK on my whispering
Sharif: I played Overwatch for a while, but then stopped at some point
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Because I will be too worried about Bixi being even MORE annoying than she already is
Licornah: :: makes sure Branwyn is okay with curse wording before casting -- in essence they refine wording together ::
GM: That cannot be
Licornah: Licornah cast a spell NOT memorized.
Licornah: [CAST] Bestow Curse
Licornah: [SAVE VS] Bestow Curse
Michael: Thank god for Witcher 3 to remind people what storytelling is
Sharif: Been rewatching Fringe for the 2nd time, haven't seen it since it was on actual network tv, feels like a lifetime ago
GM: Lorie can propose the wording, I will give Lisa a chance to counter, then Licornah will cast the final
Michael: Gaunter O'Dimm will go down as one of my all time favorite villains. Ever
Sharif: well actually rewatching the first time, but 2nd time I've seen it
GM: and branwyn will forgo the save as she wants this to happen
GM: so that will make the curse go into effect
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, you have to be specific so BOB can hold it against us later
Lisa (Branwyn): yes curse me! curse me!
Michael: “Wants” a cusre lol
Michael: Lol Lisa beat me to it
Licornah: Proposed wording: Branwyn will provide the library with a bound copy of the <book name that I missed> or be cursed
Lisa (Branwyn): no clue what cursed entails but that's what she will do
TMO (Craigh): one wart, on the end of her nose.
Lisa (Branwyn): level loss? appendage loss?
Sharif: ouch
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Don't give him ideas
Lisa (Branwyn): she had a level loss geas for the Macbeth story
Carissa (N'laea): appendectomy! no more worries about appendicities!
Carissa (N'laea): oof spelling
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
Lorie (Licornah): (I was thinking her curse would be her hair would curl, but I'm not a mean curse kinda priestesss)
GM: Things like Deafness, etc
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I like my curly hair :(
Carissa (N'laea): same...
Sharif: curly hair is awesome
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And I like the idea of cities made out of appendixes. Very creepy
Carissa (N'laea): as in I like your curly hair and mine
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
GM: the deletion of appendixes is a good library curse
Sharif: Sounds like Scorn
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, I need Zayden to be in here so he can give this guy a nickname. Dude's name is “Illporn”
Sharif: Lol, I think Illporn is already a nickname
Lisa (Branwyn): she might need to make it good if it's for the librarian. I'm going to get it done so not really worried about consequences
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, I know it's technically too late for Zayden to join, but he needs to think of one for when we get back to talk about it
Sharif: join what?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): the group in the library. We teleported in
Carissa (N'laea): so what's the final curse from Licornah?
Sharif: oh ok cool
Sharif: will we be going back to in character stuff tonight?
Carissa (N'laea): after this curse gets done hopefully
GM: They are IC
Sharif: oh ok
GM: at least Lisa nd Lorie are
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, we just got a little distracted with the video game chat while Licornah fixes up her curse
Sharif: Glad you guys are thinking of Zayden!
Carissa (N'laea): yeah remember this is supposed to be a quick thing :P
Lisa (Branwyn): just waiting for consequences
Lisa (Branwyn): you can make her lose her voice so no casting verbal spells
Sharif: What games do you guys play?
GM: Licornah will cast a curse on Branwyn that says.......
Lisa (Branwyn): I play games that no one here plays :)
Carissa (N'laea): lose a finger so weird touch spells
Michael: You name it, I've probably played it....at least onece
Sharif: Valheim is so good I love it
Michael: I play your games lisa. You recommend good ones
Michael: I still remember the Space Horror one...
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I've been obsessed with Plate Up! lately, which is not even my normal genre so I don't know what's going on with that
Sharif: Yea I played Fallout 4 :)
Carissa (N'laea): dragons and cake!! it's on my backlog list
Michael: Stasis. That's it
Lisa (Branwyn): I'm more of an indie adventure, puzzle game person
Sharif: lol sounds like fun, that's a restaurant simulator type game right?
Lorie (Licornah): She'll return a bound copy of <book name that I still don't know> or be cursed to lose her left pointer finger (second pass)
Lisa (Branwyn): sounds good Lorie
Lisa (Branwyn): I'll take it :)
Licornah: She'll return a bound copy of <book name that I still don't know> or be cursed to lose her left pointer finger
Sharif: Oh I haven't played the new Monkey Island game yet, I wanted to replayed the older games first
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, but I guess the difference is that you can automate all the cooking, if you get far enough? And it's a rogue-lite, so when it gets too hard, you just start over.
Lisa (Branwyn): new one is very good!
GM: Librarian Illporn speaking
Sharif: Grim Fandango is one of my favorites, as you may have discerned from discord
Michael: loved that game
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Someone gifted me that awhile ago but I have yet to play it. No spoilers
Lisa (Branwyn): yes
Librarian Illporn: I will accept that, I do expect that you will accomplish this quicker than your last visit here
Sharif: Of course Full Throttle too
Sharif: it's so cool worth a playthrough
Michael: Just checked Steam Library. I have over one thousand hours into Civilization 5 so, I probably like Strategy Games
Branwyn: Of course. Hell is my next stop and so I'll get to work on making that copy right away
Sharif: the friend that gifted you that is a good friend :)
Bixi Fizzlebang: Well as long as we don't get sucked into elflands for six years again
Sharif: Oh yea I played a bunch of civilization too
Lorie (Licornah): (I would love a better version of SimCity... I miss that game)
Librarian Illporn: Thank you, I am certain you will try but I do not trust that you will return from Hell to return this book or its copy after your trip
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I just spent too much time on Tropico 4 before going to Plate Up
Michael: They killed a beutiful game with Sim City :(
Sharif: I believe it's called Cities Skylines, but so many DLCs
Michael: That studio is EVIL now
GM: and back OOC now
GM: Waiting for Branwyn's last comment
Branwyn: There is no place I have ever gone that I have not returned from and I don't intend to start now
Michael: Tropico is a lot of fun, haven't played 4 yet though
GM: that is a good last line
Lisa (Branwyn): take that
GM: a nice quote
Sharif: Never played Tropico but always seemed fun
GM: and NOW decision time
GM: DUN DUN DUN
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Carissa thought I was crazy for enjoying being a dictator. You can tell her how wrong she is lol
Michael: Oh boy, you are in the clear in my book. Being a benevolent and kind autocrat in Civ 5 is a quick way to a tech victory....
Sharif: It's good to be the king
GM: Lorie are you having Licornah teleporting to Rivers Bend with Branwyn, then back to the Inn at Hourglass to avoid the Mist.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): decision time, come on grab your friends we'll go to very distant lands
Sharif: History of the World
GM: Knowing that the rest of the group of players is clicking back to Loosend then doing maybe encounter or maybe clicking back to Dragon Fen
Lorie (Licornah): Can I teleport myself somewhere safe?
Sharif: Mel Brooks
Lisa: You avoid the Mist but it strands you at the Inn while the other PCs are in the Mist
Lorie (Licornah): Somewhere that isn't that mist
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh I was thinking Tom Petty
GM: Dragon Fen and two thirds of Drillian is in The Mist
Sharif: Probably that too, I doubt Mel invented that line
GM: Except for Hourglass and the Inn
Michael: BRB. Need a refil and ice...
Sharif: me too!
Sharif: brb
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And it leaves your character away from the group, so you will have nothing to do IC until they get back. Yes? Do I have that correct?
N'laea: But all our characters are in and interact in the Mist
GM: Yes to Lemon
Carissa (N'laea): (depends where they are - dinner with Jilly? That's in the Mist)
GM: which is why I want Lorie to have the first choise
GM: choice
Lorie (Licornah): (My choice is be sick and useless for a week or be alone but not sick?)
Lisa: if you teleport back you do get to do the first Fives interaction
GM: Yes to Lisa
Lisa: you can roll a save on sickness
Carissa (N'laea): (not always a week and we often skip that time)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We will most likely time skip over most of the sickness time though, no?
Carissa (N'laea): (all the characters risk that)
GM: We know there will be two groups
TMO (Craigh): she says that like it's going to be some grand event. :P
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, and you're stuck at the inn if you go that route, because everywhere surrounding the inn is mist
GM: Branwyn plus that goes to Rivers Bend then to the Inn
Lisa: it will be a granbd event
Carissa (N'laea): With you TMO, it will be.
GM: the rest go to Loosend and then ???? encounters and or click to Dragon Fen
TMO (Craigh): developing performance anxiety over here.... :P
Carissa (N'laea): (I need at least some watches going back - Rae has gossip to gather)
Carissa (N'laea): (just imagine us all in our underwear or something apparently?)
GM: with Branwyn, N'laea Branwyn and (Fives) as a group and the others as a group
Lisa: and Jenn
GM: Yes sorry
Lorie (Licornah): I teleport myself ?
Lisa: you don't have to
Carissa (N'laea): We don't want to leave Jenn to make new friends? I suppose we should be nice...
GM: Branwyn teleports LIcornah
Lorie (Licornah): (It's a daily ability... it doesn't use a spell slot)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You're taking the stuck at the inn option, eh? Maybe Licornah and Gerry will start a romance
GM: Jenn is a senior member of the Church, she has lots of friends and lots of people who want to get to know her......
Carissa (N'laea): (but isn't it distance restricted?)
Lorie (Licornah): (teleport without error...)
GM: Licornah has been at the Inn before
GM: so that would work
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You DO understand that you'll be separated from the group for a good chunk of time here, if you take the teleport route, right?
Carissa (N'laea): (I thought it was similar ot Dimension Door)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Just want to make sure you know what you're getting into, because I personally would not like my characters getting stuck alone somewhere, I would get bored
GM: Lemon has a good point
Lorie (Licornah): (That I'd be bored?)
Lorie (Licornah): (... I'll be alone? )
Licornah: FIne, I'll go
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You, IC, would not be with the group. Your character wouldn't be interacting with us at all on the trip back
GM: grins,that there are two options, go Home quickly with Branwyn or go home slowly with the rest of the group
Michael: I support you either way, just don't want you bored :(
Lorie (Licornah): (:: laughs ::)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Most of the action will be with the group on the trip back
GM: Lorie shoudl choose what is best for Lorie, and Licornah will have things to do in either way just not always here in live chat
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Agreed, you can do whatever you want, I just want to make sure you understand what you're choosing
Licornah: Let's just go and move it along... no need to spend more time on this. When I'm useless... I'm useless :: shrug ::
Lisa: after the fives chat - Branwyn and N'laea go back in the background until the group returns
TMO (Craigh): no, Howard is useless
Bixi Fizzlebang: That's a choice YOU make, if you are “useless” or not
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
Lisa: yes Howard is useless!
GM: smiles with TMO
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No one is actually useless unless they decide to be
Michael: howard is useless, but a paragon of usefullness when it counts
Lisa: and Licornah just cursed Branwyn. that was very useful!
Carissa (N'laea): (Rae would beat Howard over the head for calling himself useless)
GM: For Sharif, and Lemon, that was his first name Useless, when he was introduced to Branwyn, then she learned his real name was Howard.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Even Howard does his glitter, and Zayden is comic relief and Daph... ok, I don't know what she does, but she's not useless
Lisa: Branwyn gave Howard the name useless along with that guild mage
TMO (Craigh): I like Howard, actually. :)
Michael: Ido too :)
Michael: He's remarkably steady and mostly sane
Lisa: He's a good guy. Just oh so mediocre :)
Carissa (N'laea): Agree. He has really grown on me. Actually him saving Ithil was when he grew on me, lol
Sharif: lol I rather be useless that howard :)
Michael: Talwin used him to prop up his mental stability
Sharif: kidding of course :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If you don't want to be “useless” you have to make a choice to do stuff. Even if it FEELS useless, it's not. It adds to the story
TMO (Craigh): he's grown on us... like mold, or a fungus
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No matter what it is
Lisa: lol
Carissa (N'laea): lol
Sharif: lol
Lisa: yes to what Lemon is saying
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No one here is useless
GM: ok so the rest of the group goes CLICK and makes it back to Loosend
Lisa: just jump on in
Sharif: click!
GM: to sell the Buttercup
Sharif: you gotta go click guys come on
Carissa (N'laea): So just wrapped up Dryads Lair like that?
TMO (Craigh): fine... click
Sharif: yea!
Michael: click
TMO (Craigh): I would imagine we can still tell stories
TMO (Craigh): about all the derring do
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Did Licornah decide for sure where she was going?
TMO (Craigh): that we did
Michael: I would image I can give Bran her damn present now?
Michael: lol
GM: Yes to Carissa, for live roleplay, of course things cna happen on the site for the time that occured while you were there, it was 7 months and we only roleplayed out 4 days of it
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's fine either way, I just want to make sure you're not skipping ahead before she can decide
Carissa: That's fine. That means we DEFINITELY need watches. But also Rae needed a seance at some point???
Carissa: Yeah but not everyone goes on site and replies so I like some of that in game.
Indigo: yes
GM: I thought she would like to do that near Loosend and Elven temples
Carissa: I'm fine skipping it now if we get those watches
Sharif: ...
Carissa: Oooh sure!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I admit, I have a hard time keeping up with the site
Sharif: 2nd lemon!
Carissa: I'm going to start putting in comments about Lemon on site that she'll never find...
Sharif: maybe we should make a podcast with updates?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But DID we decide? Because sometimes I feel like BOB kind of steamrolls the story along and I don't want anyone to feel like they didn't get to make their decision before things moved ahead
Sharif: well I feel like Zayden still doesn't have a cool pair of magical sunglasses, he's bummed about that
GM: That is why we are paused Lemon
Sharif: Also that he can't dance
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): by “we” I mean Lorie, lol. Not sure why I said we. I think the rest of us have been clear about sticking with the group, who were already traveling, right?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I could be wrong on that
GM: We KNOW that Rae, Indigo, Howard, Zayden, Bixi, Daph, Youtarim, Talwin are all here in Loosend
Lorie (Licornah): (let's just move along... I'll deal with the consequences of being sick)
Carissa: he can get a normal pair and maybe find a way to enchant them later, Zayden. Or ask Rae to glitter glue decorations on them
GM: we know that Branwyn and N'laea are in Rivers Bend
Sharif: real life sick?
Lisa: no
Lisa: Mist sick
Sharif: Ohh that's a good idea
Lorie (Licornah): (Oh no, in real life, I'm fine...)
Sharif: cool
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): the mist sickness. Has Zayden experienced the mist? I can't remember where all we've been
GM: We have Craigh and Licornah that can be with either group
Carissa: Yes
TMO (Craigh): Where is this library at, btw?
Sharif: Yea I think Zay was with you during the mist?
TMO (Craigh): what city?
Carissa: When we came back from Elflands. Licornah and Nlaea were out for a week. Rae was out for almost a week. Everyone else was mostly fine.
Lisa: Royal Library?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's ok, we'll all be rolling for mist sickness. You might not even get it, who knows
TMO (Craigh): yes
Sharif: maybe Zay got vaccinated for it already
Lisa: Dryads Lair
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol
TMO (Craigh): OH... then why did we have to Teleport to it???
GM: Choices are Rivers Bend, meeting with Fives after gathering all the info you could at Dryads Lair and then after leaving Rivers Bend CLICK to Hourglass and the Inn
Michael: yeah, well vaccines don't always work lemme tell you....
Lisa: from left to right: Dragon Fen, Loosend, RiversBend, Dryads Lair
Lisa: How I think of it
Sharif: But we have to click yall
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Michael, can that be something that Talwin, in his ever-growing businesses, start to research? A mist vaccine?
GM: OR the other choice is to accompany the rest of the group and CLICK to Loosend and then a (quicker) trip back to Dragon Fen
Michael: Talwin will gladly start hustling some vaccine research......
Shislif: lol
Michael: Because he's trying to expand the commercial and educational appeal of the land
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I hear it's very lucrative
Shislif: operation teleport speed!
TMO (Craigh): Okay, if it's in Rivers Bend, Craigh can work at the Library to kill time. Gold is Gold is Gold, and the chance for picking up some knowledge, xp, or skill points
Carissa: I mean we can always travel to the Heart of the Mist and kill what's-his-face.
Lisa: no Library is in Drayds Lair
Lisa: Fives is in RiversBend
Michael: No library YET~
Lisa: Group is in Loosend
Lisa: Home is Dragon Fen
TMO (Craigh): WHERE IS THE ROYAL LIBRARY THAT WE WERE JUST AT WITH ILLPORN?
GM: DRyads Lair
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Need nickname asap
Lisa: DRYADS LAIR
Lisa: shout TMO
Sharif: Orzo!
TMO (Craigh): then why did you say No Library is in Dryads Lair??? I'm confused!!!
Carissa: lol
GM: The library is in Dryads Lair
Sharif: Orzo would be a cool nickname
TMO (Craigh): *whimper*
Michael: My god,i need another doze of Niquill to help cope
Lisa: No comma library is in Drayds Lair in response to it being in RiversBend
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Once I gave a friend the nickname “iceberg” and I told him it was “because he's so cool.” he hated it. But that's legit a great nickname
GM: TMO said to kill time to work in the library, but Criagh, will be in Rivers Bend
Sharif: it's really raining here yall
TMO (Craigh): LOL! Okay, I got it now, sorry
Lisa: my apologies for not including the comma :)
TMO (Craigh): I was right in the middle of a thought and all of a sudden I started getting contradictions, and my whole brain deerailed
Lisa: yes Sharif! insane rain
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But yes, I do like Orzo. That would also be a good name for a dog.
Carissa: Craigh is going with Bran Nae party not other party?
Sharif: Yea it's kinda fun though! Thankfully got a nice warm home to shelter in :)
Carissa: Please don't name dogs or creepy librarians after food.
GM: That is a TMO option, he has the same choice that Lorie has
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Craigh is getting a job
Sharif: Hmm Orzo would be a good dog name actually
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Heck no, food is great names for animals
Carissa: Sorry I'm probably adding confusion. I'll be quiet.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Muffin
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Biscuit
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Noodle
TMO (Craigh): Sorry for the overreaction there. Unless it's a problem, Craigh is willing to work at the Royal Library for the rest of the 7 months, then travel back with the rest of the group
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Cookie
GM: Chocloate Chip Cookie Dough was our dog
Sharif: true I'm pro food name animals
Lisa: After Spring's commentary for Talwin's arena fight, Fluffy Muffin is an added nickname for my cats
GM: Cook for short
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): See?
GM: travel back with which group TMO?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's perfect
TMO (Craigh): whichever group is leaving in 7 months, I guess?
GM: OK so the Buttercup group
Lisa: good
GM: That leave Lorie
Carissa: *Buttercup - Moc Group
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oreo. Pretty sure that's a super common pet name
GM: So at this point we click the group back to Loosend, and Indigo et all can try to sell the Buttercup
TMO (Craigh): psst.. Howard - you wanna teach me that Copy spell, and I can start copying interesting books in the Library???
GM: sadly all my NPCs are gone
Lorie (Licornah): (How does this leave me, I've already said what I'm doing...)
TMO (Craigh): Librational Espionage
Carissa: Even Yout??
Sharif: click!
Lisa: Craigh can try to learn it from Howard's book. It is 1st level I believe
Howard Plum: yup
GM: Lorie you want to go to Rivers Bend with Branwyn, then back to Dragon Fen with them to avoid the Mist Sickness the best she can
Lorie (Licornah): (Sure...whatever is going to move things along for the rest of the group best...)
Sharif: Thx such a trooper
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nope, I refuse to accept that. Choose what YOU want
TMO (Craigh): it might be one of Craigh's last spells he can learn. I have to pick and choose those carefully, although does fit in with his espionage skills
GM: OK so next week early in the session we will be roleplaying Licornah, N'laea, Branwyn and Jenn in Rivers Bend interacting with Fives
Licornah: (See, I can't win... I say I want to X and it's ARE YOU SURE? I say I want to do Y and it's ARE YOU SURE? ... so you all tell me what you want me to so we can move things along? )
Lisa: copy spell works on any book or document. not just magic ones
TMO (Craigh): ooh, Jenn too?
GM: I understand Lorie
Bixi Fizzlebang: I wasn't trying to make you second guess your decision, I was trying to make sure you had all the facts before deciding
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
TMO (Craigh): Schroedinger's Licornah, be in both places until someone opens the box
GM: so we know who will be needed next session to accomplish that
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I didn't want you to teleport and then be disappointed that you didn't get to do whatever encounters with the bigger group
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): If that's what you want to do, that's totally fine
Sharif: Sorry if we weren't being supportive, I say you do you!
GM: Now we can go to Loosend with the others
Lorie (Licornah): (This feels like a no win decision... so I no longer care)
TMO (Craigh): and tie up the Loose Ends!
Lisa: to be honest Lorie you've been reading up on hell so if I got to pick for you I'd want you with Bran and Fives in RiversBend
Sharif: sometimes I just leave my loose ends
Lisa: if that helps muddle things more :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Maybe you don't care, but Licornah probably should lol
GM: and that is what will happen Lisa and Lorie
Carissa: And I wanted to make sure you weren't bored because Bob does not time things well and it might be a session or two without Licornah in game
GM: so let it be written so let it be done
Lisa: lol Sharif :)
Sharif: :)
Lorie (Licornah): (I have a farm to mind, ginger island is calling, Leo needs a house...)
Lorie (Licornah): (LOL)
GM: smiles
Lorie (Licornah): (I have 8 characters that need to get 70)
GM: so now back to Indigo, Youtargim, etc at Loosend
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I just know there have been times when you (Lorie) haven't been thrilled about what's going on because you didn't feel like you had much to do. So I just want to make sure that if you choose that, you know you're choosing it. It's 100% fine whatever you decide, I'm just trying to make sure that you can find a way to enjoy your time here
Carissa: So did Yout survive the NPC purge???
Lisa: and we can always push bob to have a dragon fen hour if the travelling group is taking a while - we used to do that when we were in Dryads Lair
Lisa: do a little at the manor and most with the adventurers
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, whatever you decide, let's figure it out so that everyone gets something to do, so no one is totally left out
Carissa: well it's be at the inn if she doesn't want to enter the Mist
Shislif: brb bio break
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It wounds me when you say you feel “useless”
Michael: Hey guys, I'm starting to have trouble keeping awake. I probably need to head in for tonight. I'm hoping that by next Friday I'll be back to my same Caustic self :)
Lisa: we will make it work
GM: Night Michael
TMO (Craigh): take care
Carissa: lol night Michael
Sharif: night michael
Lisa: We'll be looking forward to it :) Feel better Michael!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): goodnight Michael! feel better!
Michael: Night :) Love you all. You are never useless to us Lorie :)
'Michael' disconnected
Lorie (Licornah): (TO BE CLEAR: When I say she's useless, if I get sickness = no spells / abilities so minus chit chat, pretty useless. My intiative is among the slowest, so often not able to contribute in combat)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's the same for any of us, though
Lorie (Licornah): (We have a LARGE group, so often there are only so many actions to go around...)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Mist sickness is mist sickness is mist sickness
Carissa: Shi wasn't able to cast a single spell when they visited a vampire. She founds things to do. It sucked, but we worked through it.
Lisa: sucked, hah!
Carissa: LOL
GM: grins
Carissa: I didn't even notice. I must be tired.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And with such a large group, some of us are bound to still be able to do SOMETHING. We will make it work, even if your character gets sick. IF YOU WANT TO. If you DON'T want to put her in the mist, that's fine too
TMO (Craigh): Craigh is pretty useless in combat, Mist sickness or no. It's annoying, but I built him this way. Not sure I could have done better, but I probably could have done worse. ;)
Carissa: coulda built him on rock and roll
GM: There is a challenge ;)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And anyone who's not with the group is just as useless to the group as they would be if they were sick :P
Sharif: back!
Sharif: so what's up?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I think I scared everyone away by insisting that everyone get to play how they want lol
Lisa: not sure - think we are going to do squishy timey whimey thing
GM: Also to Carissa's NPC purge thought, they are still on the site, but we lost the ability to speak as an NPC so there is no way to differentiate between the husband and wife for example, when you are at the inn to sell the Buttercup
Sharif: that's cool I think that's under the You be You umrella
GM: Not at all Lemon, I appreciate everyone wanting everyone to participate
Sharif: umbrella
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): brella brella brella brella
Lisa: thought we got the ship from Jolain
Sharif: Like the song
GM: grins with Lisa
GM: see
Sharif: Jolene
Carissa: (oooh got it, thought they disappeared completely)
Carissa: clarity is important Lemon!
Sharif: well the way Zay wants to play is with cool magical sunglasses and dance
Sharif: in addition to playing instruments and singing
GM: I am hoping that when we do the chat the portion with the librarian is highlighted as in character
Carissa: Rae can start teaching him to “dance” like she did Howard until he can invest in an NWP
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And I love that about Zayden! His personality is a great add
GM: or it will not be fun to do a story chat
Sharif: i have fun with story chats
Carissa: Well it says GM so it it's in Word should be a find and replace... annoying but doable?
Lisa: its Jorlaine officially
Sharif: lol annoying but doable
GM: not sure, there is an HTML code that automatically works for IC verus OCC when I type
GM: and thank you Lisa for that
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hey, that's what they used to call me in high school!
Sharif: lol
GM: There has to be a story there Lemon for that
Carissa: yeah don't know Lisa's process anymore ot know how much of a pain it'll be but will cross my fingers for her since I'm getting off easy on summaries lately, lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That was a joke, but I'd be happy to make one up if it makes you feel better
Lisa: I will fix story chat for Illporn So you want me to do tchat chat chat too?
GM: cuckles
Lisa: too many chats
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): no such thing!
Carissa: lol
Lorie: So then we're done for the evening?
GM: I want to pick up next week at Loosend and Rivers Bend
GM: yes to Lorie
GM: I would like to organize a bit
GM: BUT
GM: there is the new dice game for people to try
Sharif: I like bit Buts
Sharif: big
Lorie: Okay night...everyone who is ill or treating a family member, feel better. Otherwise, have a good night
Lisa: lol
'Lorie' disconnected
Carissa: Is Indigo going gambling before we finish up??
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): goodnight Lorie!
Lisa: Goodnight Lorie!
GM: that is what I wanted to test
Carissa: night
Sharif: night!
Carissa: so seance will also be next week?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I know I'm like, the queen of off-topic tonight, and I'm sorry for that (a little) but I just need you to know, Sharif, that I have a giant coffee mug that says “I like big mugs and I can not lie”
Sharif: lol that's awesome!
Sharif: Also no need to apologize for you being you :)
Lisa: will also have to do a seance at the Inn now that the ring is not forthcoming
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I know I don't need to apologize to YOU, but I can read the room lol. I know not everyone loves it
Carissa: what ring?
Lisa: and hope that the mage you killed will be nice and tell us how the ring works
Sharif: Well there's no accounting for good taste :)
GM: and do you see the Drunken Unicorn game?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi is SO in for a seance
Sharif: Zay will provide background music
Carissa: oh also at the inn - missed the also
Carissa: We can try. Rae stopped being involved after he grabbed her so not sure how he feel about her
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't know how y'all remember the specifics
Lisa: bran has nwp too - just not the greatest chance of success
Carissa: But it'll probably be all, “you could have prevented this too, elf!!”
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I just remember hating him
Lisa: he doesn't know Bran since no one would let her talk to him so maybe he will respect the mage
GM: So Bixi roll a d6
Raelynn: I was really wanting us to use that cool charm ring on him... oh well
GM: want to see how this works
Bixi Fizzlebang: [d6 = 6]
GM: that did not work
Carissa (Raelynn): (and can't remember why I wanted this NWP for Rae so not sure her success, lol_)

Raelynn: [SKILL] Spirit Lore [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 18]
Carissa: so only somewhat of a decent chance but that's fine as long as she can use it a few times
Branwyn: [SKILL] Spirit Lore [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 6) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 1]
Branwyn: low chance good roll you never know
Carissa: And Bran gets to talk to the mage!
GM: Ok so it seems you cannot see anything?
Carissa: Well okay, Rae does have a better chance than Bran, lol. Maybe if they combine their powers they'll be... Super Seance!
GM: Menu -> Dicegames
Branwyn: all I can see is the 9 d6 rolls
Branwyn: oh ok

GM: Can you choose a different game? or are you stuck on this one?
TMO (Craigh): brb
Carissa: did I ever tell you about being chased by a emu with a crooked jaw? that was not fun
User has gone AFK. (TMO)
Lisa: the other games are blank
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It says “drop PCs here to add party members”
Lisa: maybe you have to set it up?
Carissa (Raelynn): yeah I can't drop myself
GM: ok
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I did try to add myself, no dice

Raelynn Drunken Unicorn Round 3 [9d6 = 34]
Carissa (Raelynn): Lisa needs to come back to tell us their bet
GM: So this will be interesting maybe
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I want to play this IRL
Carissa (Raelynn): So she's out. I can't roll meaning you are able to force it as a GM.
Carissa (Raelynn): Birthday Game... Game?
Howard Plum Drunken Unicorn Round 2 [9d6 = 30]
Indigo Drunken Unicorn Round 2 [9d6 = 20]
Carissa (Raelynn): Indigo wins!
Raelynn: ...actually they're both out
GM: That is sort of crazy
Carissa: It's a quick game
GM: and now that I have closed it do you still see it?
GM: and can you interact with it?
Carissa: Yes and no
Bixi Fizzlebang: [1 = 1]
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I can't roll
Carissa: Because it still has it as the same game so I'm still out
