Lisa: did the NPC thing get fixed in this last update?
'Lorie' connected
Lorie (Licornah): Evening all ...
BOB Hello Lorie
BOB and I do think everything was fixed including things that got broken afterwards
Lisa: Hi Lorie :)
Lisa: good news
Lorie (Licornah): You have snow? ;)
Lisa: not me :)
Lorie (Licornah): (I had to do two updates today BOB, one this morning and one before I logged on)
Lisa: feel bad for the mountain communities. There was a story about the Crestline area where both grocery stores had their roof fall in because of the weight of the snow
Lorie: Oh that is awful... we had two almost 70 degree days this week
BOB Ouch
BOB and No no snow here either Lorie
Lisa: nice spring weather for you!
Lorie: LOL - NWS Miami tells me your weather every morning
Lisa: no more rain for us but temps between upper 30s in the morning to a high in 60s
Lorie: Closer to your normal?
Branwyn: for winter, yes
Branwyn: Teleport
Branwyn: Bob - can uncheck Bran's 5th lvl spells on her sheet. That link you posted said the DM has to do it and I show her as zero memorized 5th level but there are still 2 checks there
BOB I unchecked everything for spells on her sheet
Branwyn: you did 1st 3rd and 5th so that is okay
BOB I did them all
BOB But I see you changing things so letting it be
Branwyn: not when I opened my sheet
BOB chuckles
BOB I see you in Prep mode
BOB so not touching
Branwyn: I opened and only saw the odd levels unchecked
'Lemon' connected
'Michael' connected
BOB Hello Lemon
BOB Hello Michael
Michael: Good Evening everyone :)
Lemon: Hello everyone!
Branwyn: Hi Michael and Lemon :)
Lorie: Evening Lemon and Michael
Lorie: Hope everyone had a good week and feeling better
Michael: Hello :)
Michael: Def feelibg better!
Lisa: good!
Lisa: think that worked finally Bob - thx!
Lemon: I know that was a typo, but I read it as you having a stuffy nose "feelibg"
BOB smiles
Michael: Yep, that's just poor typing lol :)
Michael: Not stuffy, a few unfortunate side effects, but hopefully will dissapear with time :)
Lisa: can you smell and taste stuff?
BOB Hmmm can you see? hear? touch? Taste? Smell?
BOB grins
Lisa: he had covid! legit questions :)
Michael: That came back thankfully. no, it's that my lungs act like I've been smoking six packs a day for the last 20 years. It's gotten better, but I get winded easily
Lisa: that's not good. Hope that gets better soon
Michael: The migraines are gone, and frankly that's all I really need
Michael: But yes, not great
BOB Very much so Lisa
Lemon: yeah, who needs to breathe anyway
BOB wry grin
Michael: lol. Going to strt exercising again. I do like not having to be easily winded by gettingoff the couch lol. But it has gotten much better
Michael: Also second lesson is don't ever trust that people will act responisibly where Covid is concerned. Cause, spoiler, they wont
BOB If you (or anyone) needs access to Peloton app let me know, I can add 12 more people on the app
BOB for stretching, strength, etc
Lemon: Don't push it too much though, you also need rest
BOB THIS points to Lemon
Michael: I'll consider it! :) Right now it's 6 degrees out, but soon I'll be actively trying to ride my bike again
BOB I have done 2,000 plus classes that are NOT bike riding
Michael: LOL
Michael: It's because I can put on an Audiobook and pretend the hell of exercise is not as bad as it is....but that's also because I'm so out of Shape, the Bike is judging me the whole time...
Michael: Or crying
Lemon: I read a thing that said a lot of long covid symptoms could be because people were trying to hard to get back to their normal activity and didn't give themselves adequate time to recover. Might have all been bs though, as I can't recall where I read it or what the sources were. I assume I could look it up and find out how legit it is, but it's easier to just give armchair advice
Michael: either ot
Lorie: Get a St. Bernard - they are great for exercise ;)
Michael: LOL
Michael: But all good suggestions. Long Covid is no joke.
BOB Carissa will tell you that too Michael (when she comes in)
Michael: Hey some asshat said, oh well you were goign to get it sooner or later, and I'm just like, get the fuck away from me you ignorant sonufabitch. lol
Michael: Not making friends in a small town
BOB smiles with Michael
Lemon: small towns are tough. I moved to a big city for a reason lol
Michael: I find the older I get, the shorter my tolerance for idiocy gets
BOB Lorie and Lisa are ready to go? Waiting for Carissa? or continue
Lorie: There are some things I miss about my hometown, but everyone blessing when I sneezed isn't one of them
Lorie: and the closed-minded nature
Lemon: Lol, people do that in the city too... I thought it was just polite
Lisa: I say bless you to my cats when they sneeze :)
Lorie (Licornah): (Oh, sorry... I meant my town was so small they could do it at the same time LOL)
BOB Bless your heart
Michael: Also I do agree, the Cities are nice in some ways, but being surrounded by a whole lot of nothing has make my life so much better. When John finally sells off the company, it will be the last thing tying me to a City.
Lorie (Licornah): (like no traffic light small)
Lorie (Licornah): (But I miss living near the Lake)
BOB HUGS Lorie
Lemon: ohhh, i get it now
Lisa: so you are working remotely Michael?
Michael: LOL. you can always come to visit in the mountains Lorie! Heads up, it is cold at the moment...
Michael: Yep. It was my only condition
Michael: I will never work from an office again...
Michael: I do travel for Freeport every now and then, but for the most part, it's remote.
Lisa: you are too young to say never but hope that will work
Michael: I will find a way to make it work :)
Michael: Even if I don't, I'm thinking about starting up a training program online for Agile-Scrum. Got a lot of interest in it, so may decide to eventually just do that instead.
Michael: But I digress
Michael: Sorry Bob :)
Michael: As you can tell, don't talk to many people LOL
Lorie (Licornah): (Scrum masters are in demand in a lot of industries)
BOB grins Michael it is all good
Lisa: that's what I miss about the office - going in early and wasting half an hour just drinking coffee and talking
BOB LOl
Lisa: not enough to go into the office but still ...
Michael: that's what I miss about the office, spending an hour in traffic swearing at people, then arriving to the office and acting like a heroin addicted badger until lunch
Lisa: LOL
BOB grins
Lemon: That's a very specific metaphor
Michael: It's one that was very clearly described to me once. I have used it many times since.
'Spring' connected
Lemon: honey badger or regular?
BOB Having not heard from TMO, Carissa, Sharif, but here is Spring
Lorie (Licornah): (I sort of miss having time to myself on the train before coming home...but I don't miss the commute )
Michael: Honey Badger
Lemon: nice
Lorie (Licornah): TMO is getting dinner per Discord
Licornah: Evening Spring!
Michael: hi Spring! Hope you are well :)
BOB Thank you Lorie, did not see either of those
Lisa: Hi Spring :)
'TMO' connected
'Spring' disconnected
BOB Spring leaves, but TMO enters
Licornah: Hey TMO... hope dinner was good
Michael: Hi TMO! :) Hope you enjoyed Dinner
BOB Everyone is watching TMO's dinner
BOB waiting to SNATCH that breadstick off of his plate
Michael: lol
Lisa: Hi TMO :)
User has gone AFK. (Lorie)
TMO: I'm getting chat, so it must be nearly done loading
BOB I am awaiting Carissa because she said soon, but we will start when Lisa and Lorie are ready to go for Dryads Lair things
BOB Spring is still AFK
BOB TMO is here
BOB Michael and Lemon are here to add commentary, but not travel away to Rivers Bend with Branwyn
'Carissa' connected
BOB but their characters can interact
BOB and here is Carissa
Michael: I'm down with whatever :)
Lisa: oh and TMO and Lemon should think if they want to try to learn anything from Howard's spellbook in the remaining time in Dryads Lair training
BOB We are running two story arcs in parallel right now and then will join them into one
BOB Yes, points to Lisa, this session/week is the only time to do that
BOB Start of next session will be too late
Lisa: scrolls take 1 week per spell to make so Howard can't make them before Branwyn leaves with the book but he can be working on that while he is away
TMO: I ran into a spell last week that sounded tempting, but now I don't remember what it was, nor where I saw it.
BOB You can post to the site during the week TMO
Lisa: thought it was the copy spell or something else?
Lisa: like the avatar :)
TMO: ah, yes, I think that was it Lisa!
Lemon: I definitely want glitter
BOB just saying that the start of next session is one group in Loosend (if that does not happen tonight, we will retcon to make it work) but next session you are on the Farmers Turn heading towards Dragon Fen
Carissa: Hi all! Sorry for the delay.
BOB Lemon did you come up with your new spell? something that no one else has that you really want? this is your chance to get anything and guarentee it happens as you train
Michael: Hey Carissa!
TMO: been a very distracting week - wife had minor surgery on Friday, and has been recovering just fine, but for some reason is reacting to this one much more than her other surgeries. Normally she stops taking the pain meds after a few days, but this time she ran out the prescription.
BOB Very sorry for that TMO
TMO: but should start getting better quicker starting nwo
Michael: Sorry TMO :(
Lorie (Licornah): (Wishing her continued healthy recovery)
Lemon: Yeah, I already told you last time
Lemon: And now I don't remember what I chose
BOB We need to start up a DragonSlayer HMO
Carissa: Shadow Monsters
Howard Plum: hope so
TMO: minor stuff, deviated septum, but her head did *not* like having the splints in her nasal cavity. :)
Howard Plum: Hi Carissa :)
Lemon: Thank you Carissa
BOB Thank you Lemon/Carissa
Carissa: Hello :)
Carissa: Nose is apparently one of the more painful surgeries you can get.
BOB Adding Shadow Monsters now to Bixi
Michael: DragonSlayerHMO LOL Bob. With most of us scattered in different states? Might be hard!
TMO: she's had 2 c-sections and two different surgeries on her collarbones directly over her heart cavity, and this is the one she ran out the pain meds on. :D
Lorie (Licornah): (When Paul had that surgery, he was miserable until they took those things out...)
Michael: Good God. She's a trooper TMO lol
TMO: she got hers out yesterday
BOB Added Lemon go check your organziation now
TMO: she is, but she's also a former basketball player. pain isn't a stranger.
Lorie (Licornah): (:: Nods sagely at TMO :: )
BOB so Michael, you are saying Dragonslayer LLC, with subsidararies in multiple states?
Lorie (Licornah): (If you're going to file, I recommend CH or IE for tax purposes versus the US)
Michael: If you can somehow give me better rates then FCX United Healthcare plan (which, frankly is one of the biggest perks of this company), then Bob, you got yourself a Deal!
BOB Maybe we need Lisa to do a corporate sucession for us
BOB and see Lorie knows the ins and outs
BOB We already meet 90% of the code for a church non-profit
BOB or more
Carissa: Hey hey, who says we need healthcare? I work on animals, and people are just animals.... just saying...
Lorie (Licornah): (These days, do not try for tax havens in the Islands, they will sell you out)
Michael: Oh my god. Our Lady of Dragonslayers
Michael: Charity
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): looks good, thank you!
BOB See Lisa, you are a diety now,
Lisa: no that's Lorie
TMO: Can you prescribe meds, Carissa?
BOB What was that about Branwyn?
BOB grins, remember the airport sign?
Lisa: so any other spells people should just need to roll to learn if they want them
Carissa: ...I know how to get meds
BOB Yes to Lisa bringing us back to task
Lisa: airport sign?
Michael: Frankly in the Modern era, all healthcare should be free. my god. Yeah, it'll never happen and people for some reason treat healthcare workers like crap, but in the modern age....
Lisa: I'm confused
BOB 5 years ago, the sign at the airport, "Who needs priests?"
TMO: My airport sign said, "What do you mean? That was English."
Michael: lol Carissa. I kno how to get meds. "I know a guy...."
BOB Exactly TMO
Lisa: ah ah ah
Carissa: lol
Lisa: I am slow tonight
Carissa: Klee klee!
BOB awesome Carissa
BOB and coughs... Let's get down to businesss
BOB To defeat...
Michael: Sigh...The Huns
BOB so Branwyn, Licornah, N'laea and
BOB Jenn is back from the Celestry
Lorie (Licornah): (Evening Carissa, I don't think I said hello...)
Lisa: we need a report
BOB Dinner in the Residence
BOB From
Lisa: Jenn - she was on a fact finding mission
Youtargim: This is a very different place
Lisa: NPCs work!
Youtargim: This city is almost like back home, people from everyone
grins
Carissa: lol Michael that enthusiasm
Indigo: So you are happy here?
TMO (TMO): test
Carissa: nope
Youtargim: I saw someone today in the City who thought they knew what the seas were like
Michael: lol
TMO (Craigh): test
Youtargim: I did not correct them,
TMO (Craigh): just testing swapping characters
Youtargim: I am happy where Rae is
Youtargim: She has become the reason I stay,
Youtargim: (to Indigo)
Indigo: No matter where?
Carissa (Raelynn): (was going to reply but not sure she's hearing that)
Indigo: So if she left you would leave?
Youtargim: I would much rather travel to home, to bring her to see the tourquise seas
Youtargim: I would hope to take her, not leave
Youtargim: but I have also promised my Princess that I would assist Branwyn as was appropriate
Youtargim: but it seems that we just aimlessly wander
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Youtargim: and I am not certain that wandering this far from the oceans is productive
Indigo: We don't wander aimlessly. We always have a destination
Youtargim: Indigo you could be such a wonderful captain
Youtargim: You would be my second in command
Youtargim: we could capture such a fleet
Youtargim: If we could only sail for home
Michael: Isn't Indigo an Admiral? Think I imissed something
Indigo: I don't want to be a pirate
Youtargim: No need to be a pirate, you can captain a warship and take command of goods
Indigo: That's a pirate
Youtargim: Though I do say you are handsome enough to be a pirate
Indigo: smiles
Youtargim: We shall see what the future holds for us both
Lisa (Indigo): Indigo's title is admiral but he too boating nwp and not shipping as nwp before I knew he would be on ships and not just swamp skiffs so he has not ship mastery skills to be a captain - which is why Yout sails
Indigo: I guess but I still don't want to be a pirate
Michael: Thanks for Clarification :)
BOB This is back at the Residence for dinner before leaving
Youtargim: You could command ships and send them out to do your bidding
Youtargim: No need to dirty your hands
Jennevive: But what if I like to get my hands dirty?
Indigo: My hands get dirty all the time
Youtargim: I would say that you might be good as a captain also Miss Jenn
Raelynn: arrives to dinner (so I have an excuse for her not commenting earlier).
Youtargim: See Indigo! you are ready to take charge
Raelynn: Oh! I have lotions for dirty hands if you need them.
Indigo: laughs
Jennevive: Yes it would be very interesting to see Indigo take charge
Indigo: I like doing what I do though
Jennevive: I do believe you had that chance before?
Jennevive: Did Stanley stop you ?
Indigo: Only kind of. Nobody stopped me
Looks at Indigo, tempted to taunt again but glances at Branwyn
Jennevive: I do hope you were sucessfull at your visit to the library? (to Branwyn)
Branwyn: Yes very much so. We have the book and all we need to do is make a copy for the library before we return it
Jennevive: Excelelnt
Jennevive: and I have some answers to our three questions
Branwyn: That reminds me. Howard, if you could make me a couple of Copy spell scrolls, it would help greatly
Howard Plum: Of course
Branwyn: Wonderful Jennevive! What did you learn?
Jennevive: Very good things
Jennevive: That you should know not to talk about where others can hear
Branwyn: Is there anywhere in this city that people cannot be listening?
Jennevive: Inside of The Mist
Jennevive: As you know
TMO (Craigh): (been reading a Christie book with a character with a club foot who limps, and now I keep picturing Craigh limping and *that's not what he does*! :P Very annoying.)
Michael: LOL TMO :)
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
Carissa (Raelynn): we can fix that for you....
Michael: hehe
TMO (Craigh): only if he gets a magical hoverchair
Branwyn: So no report until we get home?
Michael: BRB. Dogs driving me nutty
Jennevive: I do know where the Library is, How time runs, and the three options for returning the book
Craigh: Craigh slips in to the room and finds his seat.
Jennevive: You will need help
Branwyn: Perfect!
Branwyn: Help other than what I already have?
Jennevive: There are those that listen in
Branwyn: All right
Point to a scroll at Branwyn's seat
Branwyn: I will be ... patient
Jennevive: LOL
Jennevive: that is wonderful Dear
Branwyn: looks at scroll
Jennevive: Perhaps I can teach you some more of that
Branwyn: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 19]
Jennevive: curls her napkins around her fingers and then TIGHTENS it
-> Branwyn: Branwyn, sees her scroll has changed to red
Lisa (Branwyn): ribbon on scroll?
Branwyn: You brought me this?
Jennevive: No I did not
Branwyn: holds up the scroll with the red ribbon on it
Branwyn: so others can see
Jennevive: That is the same as we all have
Holds hers up with a white ribbon
BOB Everyone else has a white ribbon around your scrolls
Branwyn: The perhaps others should read theirs and I'll save mine
BOB (who is fastest to see what a white ribbon means?)
Branwyn: Philippe always said the scrolls changed on correspondence I really didn't want
TMO (Craigh): (easter?)
BOB LOL
Craigh: I'll open mine if you like.
Lisa (Branwyn): can't remember - brown - council, black mage, orange- celestry, purple - royals
Carissa (Raelynn): (surrender?)
Craigh: tugs on the ends of the ribbon one-handed until it unknots and opens.
Lisa (Branwyn): blue - thieves guild
-> Craigh: An invitation to dinner with a Mr Silver
Raelynn: carefully opens hers
-> Raelynn: An invitation to a dinner with a Mr Silver
Craigh: Dinner with .. a Mr Silver?
Raelynn: Oh! Me, too!
Licornah: :: looks at hers and ponders whether to open ::
TMO (Craigh): (trying to remember if Craigh was there for any of that, don't think he was, but he's probably heard of it)
Raelynn: hands hers to Rae to see if it reads the same
Raelynn: hands hers to Rae to see if it reads the same
Carissa (Raelynn): dangit
N'laea: hands hers to Rae to see if it reads the same
BOB No to TMO
Licornah: :: slowly unties the ribbon and sets it on her lap to unscroll the note ::
Branwyn: When does he wish to dine?
-> Licornah: An invitation to a dinner with a Mr Silver
Licornah: Who is Mr. Silver
-> Licornah: grins you have no idea
Licornah: great
Licornah: :: Makes a face at the note :: Who is Mr. Silver?
Licornah: How does he know I exist?
Branwyn: And let me guess, he wishes to come here to dine rather than invite us to his home. Wherever that is
BOB Jenn does NOT have such an invitation in front of her
BOB There is no indication of a location or a time
N'laea: Isn't that the guy Mr Miller mentioned...umm, how long ago? Is it the same one?
Carissa (N'laea): DANG IT
Branwyn: Mr. Silver is a very rich and powerful man.
Carissa (Raelynn): (pretend that was Rae)
Branwyn: Yes it was.
Michael: (Yeah, isn't he also a Dragon)
Raelynn: Wait, so does he live here or there?
Carissa (Raelynn): (lol yes but we don't know that)
Michael: :)
Carissa (Raelynn): (I think only Bran does?)
Michael: Think you are right
Licornah: Rich, powerful, and kind or rich, powerful, and unpleasant?
Branwyn: And Licornah, here in the city you never know who is spying on you. One of the benefits of the Mist is that your business is generally your own business. Here? Not so much
Lorie (Licornah): (WAIT, he's a Silver Dragon??? I'm there... :: straightens her robes :: )
Raelynn: Which is great when you like gossip, but not if you ARE the gossip.
Branwyn: I really did think dropping in here and the library rather than going through channels would keep my presence unknown
BOB brb
Branwyn: Hmmm ...
Licornah: I'm not worth gossiping about... I'm just a priestess who likes to farm and weave. Occassionally, I chat with animals.
Raelynn: Maybe your new ambassadors are name dropping you?
Branwyn: Rich and powerful and kind if we all agree on things. I would not care to get on hi sbad side
Craigh: Is it getting on his bad side to turn down an invitation, or just not getting on his good side?
Raelynn: Why would you turn down a dinner invitation??
BOB Back
Craigh: Didn't say I would. Just asking. This is social etiquette a bit above what I'm normally in with.
Branwyn: My interactions with him have been somewhat limited. I did him a favor and we were paid handsomely. Perhaps he needs something again. He can be quite charming
Jesper Rinnan: Good Evening
Indigo: Hello!
Branwyn: turns to the voice
Lorie (Licornah): :: turns to look at the new comer ::
Jesper Rinnan: I was asked to visit the Ambassador and deliver this? (Holds out a small chest)
Lisa (Branwyn): Talwin is here too Michael if you want to join in - everyone is at dinner
Michael: Sure lol
Michael: Raises eyebrows at the Chest
BOB 5 4 3 2
Michael: (Shoot. one sec)
BOB Lisa
Branwyn: Lady Finefur is where this evening?
BOB Micahel
Michael (Talwin): What?
Branwyn: I am sure her attache will attend to you
BOB grins this happened before....
Michael (Talwin): .....
Lisa (Branwyn): Bran is not the ambassador ...
BOB (did you think I spent two weeks just reading chat logs of Dryads Lair and did not find fun things to resurface for you)???
Lisa (Branwyn): she is not taking any chests
Michael (Talwin): Ah, sorry
BOB LOL
Michael (Talwin): It's been oh, 5 years!
Michael (Talwin): Some I remember, others not so much lol
Talwin: I'm sure Lady Branwyn
Agatha Finefur: yes?
Michael (Talwin): does not need to receive anything. The appointed Ambassdor can receive for you if you would like?
Agatha Finefur: Oh that is very nice of you
Agatha Finefur: thank you
Talwin: does not need to receive anything. The appointed Ambassdor can receive for you if you would like?
Takes the chest
Branwyn: A chest was delivered to the Ambassador. I hope there is a note
Jesper Rinnan: I was simply told to deliver this chest and then leave as quickly as possbile Mamm
Michael (Talwin): (now bob has me trying to remember the odds and ends. Sigh. My poor brain LOL)
Lorie (Licornah): (Uh oh... it's a MIMIC!!!!)
Jesper Rinnan: Nods to Branwyn who is obviously important but he has no idea who she is
Daphene: Well that's not ominous at all
Branwyn: Perhaps Craigh should check it before you open it
Michael (Talwin): Sighs in amusment
Talwin: Sighs in amusment
Jesper Rinnan: Have a good evening
Talwin: I'll join him shall I?
Branwyn: Good evening
Craigh: Craigh shrugs.
Talwin: And Shall I hold Jesper?
Jennevive: Casts
Talwin: Levels his eyes on the Man
Jesper Rinnan: Is HELD
Craigh: I can certainly look. Just set it down on that table over there please.
Branwyn: I believe he is an innocent messenger
Talwin: Ah, Thank you Lady Jennivieve
Jennevive: Seriously? you have slipped
Talwin: Innocent or not, If Lady Jennivieve cannot have fun, I most certainly can
Jennevive: How did you survive outside of The Mist this long?
Branwyn: Now what if it goes an explodes and he is caught in the blast?
Branwyn: laughs
Talwin: Channelling the Sword before it's freedom
Craigh: whistles under his breath as he checks the chest over briefly.
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Find/Remove Traps [PERCENT:Find/Remove Traps] (vs. Target 35) [FAILURE by 29] [d100 = 64]
Talwin: Reven would never leave this alone if we just left assassins to roam free
Agatha Finefur: Lady Jenneive the Queen has informed me that you were once in a position of importance before
Agatha Finefur: But I do think that we can handle things on our own thank you
Talwin: Grunts
Jennevive: STIFFENS
Branwyn: sighs
DEEP BREATH
Jennevive: Then turns
Jennevive: I WILL be using that bath tub
Jennevive: and leaves
Agatha Finefur: Which bath tub is she referring to?
Talwin: She is in an important position NOW Lady Finefur
Talwin: I would not test Lady Jennieveve
Branwyn: Lady Finefur, Jennevive is still attends the Queen's court
Talwin: Respectfully
BOB Bopel exits the room quickly to his own rooms to start the warm water
Branwyn: And she means YOUR bathtub
Talwin: Anything good Craigh?
Talwin: Jesper? How you hanging?
Talwin: Snorts in amusement
Talwin: We might be sending this back, hope you have a return label
Talwin: Cheerfully
-> Craigh: Make a save versus poison for Craig
Talwin: Drawing his sowrd, and keeping it on hand for the Chest
Talwin: Drawing his sowrd, and keeping it on hand for the Chest
Craigh: [TOWER] [SAVE] vs. Poison [d20 = 15]
Save [15] [Target 12] -> [for Craigh] [SUCCESS]
Craigh: continues working over the chest.
BOB Craigh checks the chest and then quicly recoils as a dart STABS out
Talwin: Isn't this exciting Lady Branwny! Well, except for the potential death traps
Branwyn: laughs
Talwin: Chuckles
Talwin: Before his face turns dark and scary. Levels on Jesper
Talwin: Your Turn good Man
BOB Craigh points to the glistening spike that sticks out from the lock
Craigh: I found something interesting!
Craigh: checks to see if it nicked him at all.
BOB Jesper is HELD, not able to talk or move until the spell wears off or Jenevive is tired and passes out
Michael (Talwin): (Surely he can passibely observe though right?)
Branwyn: Maybe use that white ribbon to remove it in case the spike is poisoned
BOB Just how much stamina does Bopel have? grins
Branwyn: Or your napkin
Lisa (Branwyn): probably not enough for Jenn
Craigh: pulls out a pair of tweezer clamps
Talwin: Nothing personal you understand, but I'm going to search you. After all, you did deliver a threat to the Lady Branwny
TMO (Craigh): (a reasonable part of a decent thieves tools bag)
Talwin: Pats down and searches Jesper
Licornah: If it's poisoned, I ccould try and open it, I'm pretty good at avoiding it...
Branwyn: Not me Talwin. I am not the Ambassador
Talwin: Shrugs
Talwin: Calls over
BOB Michael you understand he is standing there and unable to move, you cannot open any pockets, etc. he is magically held
Branwyn: This was delivered to Lady Finefur
Talwin: I thought that just meant he couldn't move, not that he couldn't be searched. Sigh
Michael (Talwin): I thought that just meant he couldn't move, not that he couldn't be searched. Sigh
BOB You can search, just he is frozen/held
Craigh: works to dislodge the dart and set it aside on the table.
BOB Making that clear
Talwin: Sighs
Talwin: This would be much easier if I could actually move you.
Talwin: Grumbles
Talwin: Searching as best as he can
BOB smiles Jenn just HOLDS people then moves along
Lisa (Branwyn): only because she got pissed off
Agatha Finefur: Master Talwin, what are you doing to that poor man?
Talwin: Lady Brawyn, it may have been meant for the Ambassador, but I care about YOU, who have been exposed
TMO (Craigh): which I think is a first for me, seeing her get angry
Talwin: It's Sir Talwin actually
Talwin: One moment please
Agatha Finefur: Thank you Sir Talwin
Talwin: I need to steel myself to ask Jennevieve to release the man
Craigh: mumbles to himself as he works
Agatha Finefur: You are a knight for the Countess?
Talwin: I want to check to see he does not have any incriminating documentation for an attempt on your life.
BOB YES!
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Open Locks [PERCENT:Open Locks] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 24] [d100 = 39]
Talwin: Please excuse me. I'll be right back
Talwin: Smiles
Talwin: And maybe wish me luck
Branwyn: draws in a breath
Talwin: I don't want Jennevieve holding me
BOB I want to see Michael have Talwin go to the ambassador's quarters and see Jenn in the bathtub and ask her to remove the Hold while she is there with Bopel
Branwyn: Maybe you don't want to disturb her ...
BOB please
BOB Please
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Talwin: Surely she can't be bathing NOW
Talwin: She just left!
TMO (Craigh): I think we found Bob's fetish
Michael (Talwin): LOL
BOB LOL
Talwin: Pauses
Talwin: How likely do you think this trip ends with me dead?
Talwin: Because, if I hurry....
Talwin: I really want to search him
BOB Quote
Branwyn: Do what you must
Craigh: is jabbing at the lock of the chest now, rather ungently
BOB TMO did you roll a pick locks ?
Talwin: RUNS To stop Jennieveve before it gets awkward. Carefull to knock softly and NOT disrespect Jennievieve
BOB Yes I see it
TMO (Craigh): in the tower, yes
BOB and no Craigh cannot open it
TMO (Craigh): I assume he failed, as it's not one of his good skills
BOB and Talwin hears splashing and sighing
Branwyn: Do you need help with that lock?
Talwin: And promptly whirs on his feet,and walks away
Talwin: It can wait! He calls
Craigh: Afraid so. Picking locks is not a good one-handed skill.
Craigh: steps aside.
Branwyn: Lady Finefur, your permission to unlock the chest?
Agatha Finefur: Cartainly Countess
Craigh: Oh, sorry. Was I supposed to ask permission first?
Branwyn: smiles
Agatha Finefur: I am grateful for your assistance
Craigh: Whoops.
Talwin: Please please be careful
Talwin: sighs
Talwin: sighs
BOB Welcome Lorie and Lemon to the chaos that is Jenn
Craigh: turns and wraps up the presumably poisoned dart in a cloth and stashes it safely in a pouch on his belt.
Branwyn: Just making sure. That glistening dart does look poisoned but the chest itself should be safe
BOB and life as an ambassador outside of The Mist
Branwyn: [CAST] Knock
Talwin: Famous last words Lady Bran
Talwin: Smiles weakly
BOB The chest BURSTS open
Craigh: Well, it didn't try to kill me *twice*.
Talwin: Jumps!
BOB there is GLITTER everywhere
Talwin: Sword at the ready!
Talwin: Sword at the ready!
Talwin: GLITTER!
Talwin: Outraged
BOB on EVERYONE within 30 feet
Branwyn: laughs
Lorie (Licornah): (Raelynn sent herself a gift? LOL)
Craigh: is completely covered
BOB There is a note
Talwin: BIXI!
Talwin: Wrath of God Expression
Carissa (Raelynn): amazing
Raelynn: Oh it's so PRETTY!
Indigo: Hey! There's glitter in my potatoes!
Talwin: Grits out
Craigh: spits glitter out of his mouth.
Talwin: What does the note say?
Raelynn: Think of how many more lotions I can make now!
BOB Who is reaching in to take it?
Talwin: Talwin does
Talwin: Because obviously he will
Talwin: Effing Glitter lol
Carissa (Raelynn): (I hope his hand becomes glitter)
Craigh: Craigh is completely blind at the moment
BOB Talwin reaches into the chest, picks up the scroll and unrolls it to see
TMO (Craigh): "1 Free Pass to Hell! Effective Immediately!" *bamf*
Michael (Talwin): Oh my god, I have not been this intent to read a scroll before. What does it say man!
Michael (Talwin): LOL TMO :)
BOB "Welcome to Dryads Lair, may you always shine with the patter of moonlight" signed The Silver Frog
Talwin: Eyes turn bloodshot as the vessels burst along their edges
Talwin: Fingers crumple the parchment despite himself
Lemon (Daphene): Wow, plagarism! I guess glitter bombing is just a thing now lol
Licornah: :: laughs ::
Raelynn: Well?
Talwin: Quietly walks over to the Ambassador, and carefully deposits the note
Bixi Fizzlebang: My thought exactly Rae! Good to have on hand in case we run into another dragon!
Talwin: Actually, I think I might Join Lady Jennieveve in a bath...
Licornah: Oh, it's from the nice people who made the pastries
Raelynn: nods
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooOOOooOOO
Raelynn: I need to make bigger bottles now.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Talwin and Jenn sitting in a tree
Michael (Talwin): (Not hardly, that would be so awkward for him)
Licornah: (Time for a pass without a trace spell since our glitter will give us away)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Less awkward than joining her in the bath!?
BOB Points to Licornah
Michael (Talwin): (As in take a bath, not with her in it lol)
Michael (Talwin): (Get the glitter out)
TMO (Craigh): too late!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean... you said join her...
Talwin: If I find out Bixi tagught this lesson elsewhere...
TMO (Craigh): it's kismet now!
Licornah: Why are you pointing at me?
BOB and Silver Frog I will leave to those who have been here before
Craigh: starts wiping glitter out of his eyes.
Talwin: Talwin repeats the words to Lady Branwny
Bixi Fizzlebang: I can't help it if the Story Teller's Tales travel
Talwin: Grunts
Talwin: If I didn't love you Bixi, but right now I really am having PTSD Flashbacks of the boat
Indigo: Licornah said she'd been to the Silver Frog.
Bixi Fizzlebang: That glitter bomb is now in a lotion that a DRAGON is using, Talwin
Talwin: The glitter bomb seems to be following me...
Talwin: Grumbles
Raelynn: A very powerful fierce and mysterious dragon!
Talwin: Here Craigh, I'm sorry about that
Craigh: blinks several times, then starts trying to brush the glitter off everywhere else.
Talwin: Hands over a wet towel
Talwin: Hands over a wet towel
Branwyn: If I recall it was a tavern that is connected to one of the thieves' guild so this gift could have been a test
Talwin: Don't let it get in your eyes
Craigh: It is.
Licornah: :: smooths the glitter into her hair and decides how much might stick to her robes ::
Bixi Fizzlebang: You look beautiful, Licornah. So shimmery
Talwin: Then....we failed. Because we are covered in Glitter.
Branwyn: Though if that dart is truly laced with poison it was not a kind gesture
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: We'll need to check that as soon as possible
Bixi Fizzlebang: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7QlX3yR2xs&ab_channel=TaylorSwiftVEVO">(LINK)</a>
Talwin: Until then
Talwin: Looks at Jesper
Craigh: I'll take care of it.
Talwin: Covered in Glitter
BOB Jesper still HELD
Raelynn: Maybe it's a teleporting dart?
Talwin: Well my friend, I can't serch you properly
Carissa (Raelynn): (and covered in glitter?)
BOB Yes
Talwin: At least you got to join in the festivities
Licornah: Ot
Talwin: Looks to Branwyn
Branwyn: Perhap carry him out to the courtyard so he can leave when he is able
Lorie (Licornah): (Wait, is this from the Red Dragon??? A dart and glitter??? I might be slow tonight...)
Talwin: Do we want to announce the package was opened by letting hin go free without cleanup?
Raelynn: I hope nothing tries to steal him away. Something that shiny, out in the light, would be near irrestible./
BOB No to Lorie, the Silver Frog from here in the City
Talwin: It could let whomever sent it know it was opened
Raelynn: Oh, they'll know one way or another. The glitter always finds its way back.
BOB and smiles with Carissa
Branwyn: It was supposed to be opened
Talwin: Sigh
Talwin: As you wish
Talwin: Smiles
Branwyn: You don't get a chest and not open it
Talwin: HEAVES Jesper and fireman drags him into the courtyard
Lorie (Licornah): (So you say BOB, Licornah thinks the Red Dragon is following us...)
Talwin: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 12]
Michael (Talwin): (we aren't that interesting)
Raelynn: Maybe put a bow on him before you toss him out to be stolen!
Agatha Finefur: quietly thinking, Should I expect more of this sort of thing Countess/
Agatha Finefur: ?
Talwin: Smiles at Raeylnn
Branwyn: laughs
Talwin: That's geniius! Grab a strip of cloth!
Talwin: Excited
Raelynn: We have these white ribbons....
Talwin: Nods happily
Talwin: Grab several!
Talwin: Oh and a Hat!
Branwyn: Not mine!
BOB grab the red one!
BOB darn
Lisa (Branwyn): nope
Raelynn: grabs her ribbon and walks over
Craigh: pauses cleaning off to look inside the chest to see if there's anything else.
Raelynn: [SKILL] Artistic Ability [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 11]
Talwin: With Raelynns help, places three nice ribbons bows on Jesper and a Hat.
Raelynn: artfully places the ribbon Jesper
Talwin: Don't worry mate!
Talwin: Cheerfully
Raelynn: You look beautiful!
Talwin: Jennevieve will pass out in a couple hours certainly. After that you are free to go!
Youtargim: This is not that much different than leaving a hostage for someone to find
Raelynn: We can take him back to the Silver Frog?
Talwin: Well we put a nice bow on him, maybe they will think it's a gift Yout!
Raelynn: Or just let him sit there being pretty until he unfreezes.
Wipes a bit of glitter off of Rae's nose
Branwyn: This is a very safe neighborhood. He'll be fine
Raelynn: smiles
Raelynn: Thank you.
Youtargim: If it gets in your eyes it can sting
Craigh: Gee, thanks.
Talwin: Pats Jesper on the Back. Well goodnight! Again, she's gotta pass out soon.
Raelynn: Oh, it's fine. I sometimes put it on my eyelids. Makes them really shimmer!
Talwin: Leaves Jesper
Youtargim: Yes it does
Talwin: Good idea Raelynn! The bows were a stroke of genius
Talwin: Chuckles
Raelynn: flutters her lashes
Raelynn: Thank you! I do have many good ideas.
Youtargim: Warm hungry smile
Talwin: This time, I wholeheartedly agree
Talwin: Now lets go help poor Craigh
Agatha Finefur: Thank you everyone
Raelynn: Help him look prettier?
Agatha Finefur: so what were your other invitations to?
Craigh: starts slapping at his clothing, raising a cloud of glitter.
Talwin: Hold on Bud
Talwin: I'm not going to bathe you or anything, but I can lead you to where you can get yourself cleaned up
Craigh: Horse trough?
Talwin: Er
Talwin: Well
Talwin: Not what I had in mind no. Just going to take yout othe Guest Baths
Raelynn: You aren't a horse. I'm sure there are other bath tubs here.
Talwin: After that you are on your own
-> Branwyn: Branwyn receives a "whisper" message from Jenn, I will be ready after breakfast when you are ready to leave
Craigh: Lemme try to knock off as much as I can so I don't leave as much of a trail through the house.
Branwyn: ?
Talwin: nods
Branwyn: Other invitations?
Talwin: You can knock some of the extra stuff onto Jesper
Talwin: He looks good with bows and everything at the moment
Raelynn: So beautiful.
Agatha Finefur: You all got nice white ribbon invitations, I did not get one, and Branwyn got a red one
Branwyn: Oh. The white ones were to dine with Mr. Silver. My red one is a demon gift. I cannot open it here
Craigh: spits out a few more bits of glitter, checks himself over and shrugs, then glitters away into the house to get clean.
Agatha Finefur: You get gifts from Demons?
Branwyn: I wish he would have said when he wanted to dine. I expect to leave in the morning
Talwin: More like Death Threats in my opiniion
Talwin: Mutters
Branwyn: Yes. hellhounds and the like
Agatha Finefur: Oh
Carissa (Raelynn): *(glitters away into the night)
Branwyn: It is very bothersome
Agatha Finefur: Is that a good thing? does that mean they like you?
Branwyn: It means they want me dead and to take the book I just retrieved the other day.
Branwyn: I will be happy to be back in the Mist soon
Agatha Finefur: Oh, I did not know that I would have to deal with the library so much
Agatha Finefur: Do you owe a lot of fines?
Branwyn: laughs
Licornah: :: frowns at the idea that the staff will have to clean this mess ::
Branwyn: No I opened the wrong book and now I am cursed. Nothing you need worry about
Licornah: :: looks around for a broom ::
Agatha Finefur: I suppose that I like to read stories about brave young women and men who have strong swords
Branwyn: I am sure Raelynn and Bixi will be gathering as much glitter as possible Licornah
BOB and so
Branwyn: Those are very nice stories I am sure
BOB The evening passes
Licornah: Oh, it's such a mess, I just want to try and clean some of it up...
BOB clean up
BOB late night raids on the storeroom for snacks
BOB at some point the Residence falls into slumber
BOB Jesper is freed and disapears into the night
TMO (Craigh): the local ghosts start spiriting the glitter away to make their hauntings more sparkly
Michael (Talwin): Sounds like my house. Raids on the pantry for midnight diet coke
BOB the morning comes and Branwyn, Licornah, N'alea and Jenn get a quick breakfast
BOB Just the four of them before anyone else
Michael (Talwin): and then stub my toe on the exact same spot of the nighttable as I stumble my way back
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB Last chance for Licornah to discuss heading with Branwyn or staying with Talwin (the two leaders of the separate groups)
BOB Loosend (Talwin) or Rivers Bend (Branwyn)
BOB also hint out of this group only Licornah has seen Fives before
Licornah: :: makes a light breakfast :: well that was an evening... sooo much glitter
Licornah: Lady Jennieve, I hope you are in better spirits?
Branwyn: Was definitely a memorable last evening
Jennevive: Warm lanquid smile It was a very good evening
Jennevive: I am not certain why there are so many sparkles but I attribute it to Elves
N'laea: Tsk. Too much glitter.
Licornah: :: ponders :: I don't like glitter THAT much...
Jennevive: Branwyn, you are taking us to Rivers Bend?
Branwyn: Yes as soon as we are all ready
Jennevive: I am ready
N'laea: Very much so.
Jennevive: Your young sailor might be fun to bring along, although Talwin would be sturdier
Jennevive: Yet I am constrained by your limitations
Licornah: What is Rivers Bend like?
Branwyn: We can't bring everyone
Branwyn: You were there on the way to the city weren't you? It was the city with the canals and palazzos
Branwyn: Where I was told Thistle left you
BOB The city where Thistle became Wisewoman
Branwyn: It is smaller than here but still quite large
Branwyn: The docks are my best stable point for coming in so we'll have to walk a bit to get to the tavern but it shouldn't be too bad
BOB I do hope you like the manipulation of the desktop images
Lisa (Branwyn): yes
Lisa (Branwyn): so if we are ready we can teleport
Branwyn: [CAST] Teleport
Licornah: :: nods ::
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have too many windows open to be able to pay attention to that. In the game I mean. Not internet windows.
Branwyn: [d100 = 41]
Lisa (Branwyn): nice
BOB Branwyn, Jenn, N'laea and Licornah arrive in Rivers Bend
BOB TMo you are ready?
BOB Branwyn has the details that Howard provided
TMO (Fives): quick OOC question - I've been assuming they'd be using the charm bracelet to try and find him? Is this correct, or is there a different scenario?
BOB correct TMO
Lisa (Branwyn): yes
TMO (Fives): then I think I'm ready
Fives: *cracks knuckles*
BOB and watches
TMO (Fives): am I running it now again?
BOB Lisa, Lorie, Carissa, and TMO
BOB with Jenn offering commentary
Branwyn: walks into the tavern where the group first met this Fives person
TMO (Fives): few people here in the morning, 1 or 2 and the keeper.
Branwyn: asks the innkeeper if he knows him and orders some ale
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 8] [d20 = 20]
N'laea: has glitter in her eyes stil
Branwyn: Would you like drinks? It's early but we are on vacation
Branwyn: smiles
N'laea: Water is fine.
TMO: The innkeeper sniffs dismissively. "Nothing but trouble, that one."
Branwyn: He's the one in the back there?
TMO: He ain't been in here in weeks.
Licornah: :: head shake :: no thank you... I'm good from breakfast
TMO: Started another fight.
N'laea: OOver?
BOB GLitter
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
Carissa (N'laea): (are you mocking my TYping?? :P)
TMO: Well... *looks shifty* ... maybe he was more the cause of it rather than starting it.
TMO: He rubs people wrong, y'understand?
Branwyn: I knew I should have brought my crystal ball. Any idea where he is?
Branwyn: looks at Licornah and Jenn, "Or divination spells?
'Shislif' connected
Branwyn: I have this bracelet. Should be easy enough to track him
BOB Welcome Sharif,
Licornah: Licornah cast a spell NOT memorized.
Licornah: [CAST] Divination
N'laea: (hi Sharif!)
Lorie (Licornah): (Evening Sharif)
Lisa (Branwyn): Hi Sharif
TMO: shrugs. "He drifts around to wherever ain't kicked him out recent."
BOB Licornah can use the bracelet as a focus to say that this person is not here at the moment but she has a feeling he will be here at Lunch
Licornah: :: relays to the group ::
TMO (TMO): (may I change? He is about 3 blocks away, to the northeast)
BOB Ye sto TMO
Sharif: Hi everyone!
BOB TMO is in charge
Branwyn: Well we have some time to kill
TMO (TMO): obviously, Bob and I rehearsed this extensively.
BOB grins
Branwyn: Shall we get a table?
TMO (TMO): Lisa - change in the prophecy - he's a few blocks away, not coming in for lunch.
BOB Hey Sharif, part of the group is in Rivers Bend tracking down a stranger, TMO is in charge of that part of the adventure, and the rest including you are having breakfast at the Residence in Dryads Lair
Lisa (Branwyn): oh sorry
Sharif: awesome Zay loves breakfast!
Sharif: coincidentally so do i :)
TMO (TMO): need two different chat windows ;)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, I didn't see you come in! Yay, Zayden!
Branwyn: Well then. I better finish this
Sharif: Hey Lemon just got here :)
Branwyn: drinks her ale and leaves a coin on the bar
Branwyn: I guess we better take a walk then
Licornah: :: nods ::
TMO: Your Divination tingle leads you a few blocks away to a narrow alley that appears to be a dead end. The tingle is pointing upward.
TMO: but nearby
Licornah: :: continues to relay ::
Branwyn: looks around
Branwyn: This guy better be worth the trouble
N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 5]
TMO (TMO): pfft. never!
Branwyn: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 15] [d20 = 4]
TMO -> Branwyn: maybe a noise up on the roof?
Branwyn: Did you hear something?
Branwyn: looks up
Licornah: :: shrug :: I heard a squirrel and a rabbit over there :: points :: but I hear them all the time
TMO (TMO): rabbit's good eatin
Branwyn: Maybe on the roof?
Branwyn: looks at N'laea
Licornah: Oh, maybe :: realizes she means Fives, not outside ::
Carissa (N'laea): (did tracking show anything useful?)
N'laea: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 7]
N'laea: [SKILL] Ranger: Move Silently [PERCENT:Ranger: Move Silently] (vs. Target 75) [FAILURE by 12] [d100 = 87]
TMO (TMO): no tracks that you can tell anything about in a city
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
N'laea: shrugs
N'laea: Not as easy to read as the wilds.
Branwyn: I thought I heard a noise from the roof but I'm not sure I want to climb up there
Branwyn: Hello up there!
Carissa (N'laea): (she can climb trees as an elf... but not a thief so not sure she can do that here)
TMO: Oh for f... *mutters* This better be good....
Fives: Oh for f... *mutters* This better be good....
Licornah: :: motions for a squirrel ::
Fives: peers over the edge.
Fives: What d'you want?
Branwyn: Good morning!
Licornah: :: waves ::
Branwyn: Are you the illustrious Mr. Fives?
N'laea: watches
Fives: sigh heavily
Licornah: Hi again
Branwyn: I have something of yours
Fives: Illustrious? Who the hell you been talking to?
Branwyn: holds out his bracelet
Branwyn: laughs
Fives: squints at it.
Fives: Oh! Right! Hankie boy.
Fives: What's he want now?
Branwyn: Can you come down? It would be much easier to speak with you if we were all on the same level
Fives: rolls his eyes.
Fives: Fine. Gimme a minute...
Fives: disappears from sight
Branwyn: murmurs "maybe this wasn't a good idea"
TMO (Fives): just then a window on the second-floor opens up and a woman sticks her head out.
TMO (Fives): Who are you shouting at, lady?
Michael (Talwin): lol
Branwyn: The man on the roof
Licornah: :: shrugs :: It can't be worse than glitter everywhere
Branwyn: I won't be shouting much longer
TMO (Fives): She turns and glares upward. "Who's on MY ROOF? Go on! I'll call the guard on you!"
Fives: Fives comes around the corner behind you a minute or so later.
Fives: Right then. What's Hank after now?
Branwyn: startles a bit
Branwyn: You mean Howard
Fives: Sure sure whatever.
Branwyn: Is there a better place we can talk?
Fives: We got the whole city. Pick your poison.
Licornah: :: turns and squints at him ::
Branwyn: Where can we go where you will not be kicked out?
Fives: pauses to think...
Fives: looks at them carefully.
BOB (Michael, Lemon, Sharif, we have lots to do with your group of people later on and more next sesion)
Fives: Right. You look like you got money. This way.
Branwyn: rolls her eyes and follows
Fives: leads them a few blocks away to a slightly higher caste of inn.
Fives: leads them a few blocks away to a slightly higher caste of inn.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): No worries, I don't mind taking a back seat for awhile
Fives: opens the door and ushers the ladies inside.
Branwyn: This looks fine
Fives: As he comes in he calls out
Fives: Don't get your skirts in a twist, Belle. I'm with these fine folks this time!
Shislif (Zayden): sounds good
Branwyn: heads for a table in the back
Branwyn: Order anything you like
Fives: drops onto his bench.
Fives: Eh, beer's good. One for everyone? Belle, five beers!
TMO (Fives): no, he didn't wait for answers. :P
Branwyn: Now Howard says you are very knowledgeable about the Hell plane. We're going soon and are looking for information
Fives: Well. That's stupid.
Branwyn: That you know anything?
Fives: No. Why go there?
Branwyn: I have to return a library book
Fives: Oh, that's right! I forgot about the book thing.
Fives: Did he tell you what I told him?
Branwyn: That there were different levels and such.
Fives: waves that off.
Branwyn: I believe my friend here has pinpointed what level we need to go to
Fives: Nah. He said you keep getting attacked by devils trying to get it?
Branwyn: No creatures appear in my correspondence
Branwyn: Hellhounds, elementals and so forth
Fives: ... in your letters?
Branwyn: If I want it to stop I have to get that book back
Branwyn: like this
Branwyn: pulls out red scroll
Fives: So, there's a picture of a hellhound on that?
Branwyn: This was originally an invitation to dinner. Gods know what is inside it now
Branwyn: No you open it and the creatures emerge and attack me
Fives: leans back
Fives: Isn't that what I said? You get attacked by devils trying to get the book?
Branwyn: I disn't think hellhounds were the same as devils
Fives: nods
Fives: Okay, you got me there.
Branwyn: I have never seen a devil
Fives: Well, do this and you're going to see plenty.
Branwyn: I know N'laea had questions too
Fives: Odds are it'll be the last thing you see too.
Carissa (N'laea): (I did? lol)
N'laea: What all will we see?
Lisa (Branwyn): languages and things?
Fives: looks at the other ladies who have been silent until now.
Branwyn: What does a devil look like?
N'laea: What do they speak?
Jennevive: Like him
Fives: Infernal.
N'laea: Know anyone who can speak it?
Fives: Nonsense. I got a book here with pictures in it.
Licornah: Oh, I saw a map in the library ... it's an unusual place...
Fives: It's porn, skip the text. But the artist knew what they were doing.
Fives: pulls a book out of his bag and flips open to a page with an illustration.
Fives: Oh, and ignore that bit too. A bit of artistic liberties taken to fit the subject. But the rest of the devil is pretty accurate.
Branwyn: I don't think these look like him Jenn ...
N'laea: You drew this?
Fives: I am no artist. Can't draw a straight line with a ruler
Fives: I collect books on the subject. It's how you learn things, from books.
N'laea: Why this particular interest?
Jennevive: Looks at Fives, You should stand up and strip, so we can compare
N'laea: We do not want him kicked out yet.
Fives: Cause it needs to be done. And I can do it.
N'laea: Do you know Infernal?
Fives: Put yer panties back on, lady.
Carissa (N'laea): (LOL)
Jennevive: Who wears those?
Fives: gargles something incomprehensible
N'laea: raises a brow
TMO (Fives): (sorry, no infernal on the language dropdown)
N'laea: That would be useful. Do you teach it?
Jennevive: (need that on a character sheet for it to appear)
Licornah: :: blinks ::
Fives: No one's ever tried to learn it.
Branwyn: You have obviously
Jennevive: You have never met anyone smart enough to learn it
Fives: Well, you're wanting to go to Hell, so I still haven't.
Jennevive: Points to Licornah, N'laea and Branwyn, These are very smart people
N'laea: You collect books. I collect languages.
N'laea: I'm sure we have room for more to go to Hell.
Fives: There's always a brisk travel going there, most not willing.
Licornah: :: looks at Fives earnestly :: Do you know where the portal is?
N'laea: nods towards Branwyn
TMO (Fives): erm... I don't know the answer to that. Bob?
N'laea: She has a way.
Carissa (N'laea): (amulet and book, yes?)
Branwyn: My mother in law gave me a scroll that would send me to hell
Fives: Only wizards are powerful enough to go there and arrogant enough to think they can do it scot free.
Jennevive [Infernal]: [Translation] They can learn this just as well as you can
<font color="#000000">They can learn this just as well as you can
[understood by: Fives]
Michael (Talwin): As all good mother in laws do...
Carissa (N'laea): lol
N'laea: nods again towards Branwyn
Branwyn: Getting back is where we need the medallion since she gave me a one way ticket
Fives: Yeah, that sounds about right.
Branwyn: Jenn, you speak this infernal language?
BOB Yes to TMO, Fives knows the commands to open a portal but does not have the correct magic item or level of spell to create that portal
Fives: test
TMO (Fives): Infernal still not showing up in his list. hold on...
Carissa (N'laea): still nope
Jennevive: I only know a few phrases, it was useful when tormenting certain people
Branwyn: I can imagine
TMO (Fives): nope, nothing
TMO (Fives): just common now, and a blank lin
TMO (Fives): posted clip to Discord
Carissa (N'laea): You should be able to just type "Infernal" under languages on your own for it to show
Carissa (N'laea): ...hmm nope
TMO (Fives): it's there
TMO (Fives): I deleted it and added it back, same thing
BOB It obviously works for Jenn
N'laea [Infernal]: [Translation] test
<font color="#000000">test
[understood by: N'laea]
BOB not sure why but you can continue and we will fix
Carissa (N'laea): Release character then add him again
BOB there you go Carissa
Carissa (N'laea): So add it, release, then sleect him agian
Fives [Infernal]: [Translation] What do you need me for if you already know it?
<font color="#000000">What do you need me for if you already know it?
[understood by: N'laea, Fives]
Carissa (N'laea): oh there
TMO (Fives): release and select worked
Carissa (N'laea): I'm not gonna delete it off her sheet since he will teach her - one way or another ;)
BOB No one seems to understand what Fives said, not Jenn
N'laea: listening intently
Fives: eyes Jenn for a reaction
BOB also makes a note that we will need to update the Macro but not tonight
Fives [Common]: shrugs and continues...
[understood by: Fives]
N'laea: That is... a different one?
Michael (Talwin): Complete with Numbers!
Michael (Talwin): lol
Carissa (N'laea): TMO language
Michael (Talwin): It IS INFERNAL...
Carissa (N'laea): Advance math
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): sounds about right
TMO (Fives): that was "Common"
Michael (Talwin): F=M*A
Carissa (N'laea): LOL
Fives: Anyways, yeah, I guess one of these does say how to open a portal, but I don't have a portal.
Michael (Talwin): Dx/Dy=X/Y^2
Licornah: :: nods :: I saw on the map, you have to open a portal.
N'laea: What do you do besides get kicked out of establishments?
Michael (Talwin): The Portal is Open!
Carissa (N'laea): The cake is a lie.
Michael (Talwin): YES!
Fives: Legit work? I'm hired occasionally to get rid of devil stuff from the black sheep rich families.
Fives: It pays well, but not often.
Branwyn: We're looking for someone who knows about Hell and its creatures that will make our trip easier
Fives: I don't know nobody else that can do it, if you're determined to do it and I can't talk you out of it.
Branwyn: Like I said, we're not going to try to take anything. I just want to find teh guardian, deliver the book, get the curse removed and get out
Fives: Think we got distracted before I got a chance to repeat what I told Hank. You ever think about just *giving* the book to these devils, or not-devils, that come calling?
Branwyn: They aren't very verbal. I don't believe they could travel with it if they wanted to
Shislif (Zayden): got a movie goin in the background so just in case can ya gimme a ping when Zay is on the scene?
Fives: Okay, I'll take your word on that.
Fives: So, what do you want from me?
N'laea: Knowledge of infernal for me.
Fives: I already know what *she* wants, and she can't have it.
Branwyn: Your expertise
Fives: points his thumb at Jenn
Jennevive: There is nothing that I NEED that I do not GET
N'laea: (yup ! hopefully jump there soon)
Carissa (N'laea): (yup ! hopefully jump there soon)
Jennevive: Wanting is only a momentary thing
Fives: Whatever.
Fives: So, are we talking advice before the trip, or actually going with you?
Jennevive: It will be very fun to see you panting inside of those ropes
Jennevive: The Countess and the Elf are the ones in charge of you for now.....
Fives: There's a place few blocks from here with some boytoys a lot prettier than me. Why don't you go visit it while the adults are talking?
Carissa (N'laea): (oh man I'm loving him)
Branwyn: No one is expected to go unless they want to. If you want to go and see Hell, you would be welcome. If you wish to give advice and then bid us farewell, that would be fine too
Fives: Oh, I'll go. My fee will be higher though.
Jennevive: So your fee for staying here is not zero?
Branwyn: Do you know anything about demons as well? Jenn thought this book belonged to a demon that is trapped in hell
Fives: You get what you pay for. Good Advice ain't free.
Fives: Mind, I've already given the best advice. "Don't go."
Jennevive: And you pay even more for bad advice in the end
Fives: Anyways, to go with, you ready to talk deal, or need to think about it first?
Jennevive: Looks at Branwyn, and then back away without saying anything
Branwyn: If you wish to go, we need to travel back to my home. How soon can you be ready to gather your materials and leave? How much would you want for your services?
Fives: Everything's in the bag here.
Branwyn: Your "collection" fits in that bag?
N'laea: A light traveler is good.
Fives: I'm not rich.
Fives: And no house to stash much in
Fives: The books are wrapped in oilcloth.
N'laea: There is a boarding house you can stay at if you go to Dragon Fen.
Fives: grins
Fives: Until they kick me out.
N'laea: shrugs
N'laea: I do not know their preference. I do not stay there.
Up with the sun, gone with the wind She always said I was lazy Leaving my home, leaving my friends Runnin' when things get too crazy Out to the road, out 'neath the stars
Licornah: :: makes a mental note to ask the squirrels to keep an extra eye on him ::
Branwyn: Any trouble you cause for my people shall be deducted from your price
BOB Women have come, women have gone Everyone tryin' to cage me Some were so sweet, I barely got free Others, they only enraged me Sometimes at night, I see their faces I feel the traces they've left on my soul Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul Those are the memories that make me a wealthy soul
Fives: Anyways, first off, the basics: room and board, basic equipment repairs or replacement. Same stuff you do for your basic spear chuckers.
Branwyn: Naturally
Michael (Talwin): oh bob :)
Fives: Second, if you're able to, a copy of my own of this book you're returning. If not, another book on devils that I don't already have.
Fives: Third, for actually going to Hell, another book I don't already have.
Michael (Talwin): This guy.Man
Branwyn: And where are these other books?
Jennevive: If you do not go to Hell then you owe Branwyn two books?
Branwyn: smiles
Fives: I don't care. Any book. I already showed you the one that's just porn. There's nuggets of info all over.
Michael (Talwin): Times like this I LOVE Jenn lol
Fives: She can decide not to hire me, then she doesn't have to pay me.
Branwyn: That is agreeable
Fives: spits in his hand and holds it out to shake.
Michael (Talwin): Your proposal, is acceptable! lol
Michael (Talwin): Pretty soon Fives skin will be hanging off his cheeks...
Branwyn: We will return to Dragon Fen and you can work with N'laea on learning the language and with the rest of us on information we need to know to prepare
N'laea: nods
Branwyn: frowns but shakes his hand
Fives [Infernal]: [Translation] It's your vocal cords.
<font color="#000000">It's your vocal cords.
[understood by: N'laea, Fives]
Fives: Done. Ready to go?
Lisa (Branwyn): letting the whole Mist sickness be a happy surprise for him
Fives: finishes his bear.
Fives: beer
BOB LOL
Michael (Talwin): (Also thanks for being a good sport for me enteraining myself during this conversation :) )
TMO (Fives): side commentary is always welcome!
Carissa (N'laea): (good thing she doesn't talk often :P)
Branwyn: looks at the others
Lorie (Licornah): :: makes note to befriend a bear to watch Fives with beer ::
Branwyn: Ready or anything else we need to discuss first?
Jennevive: I am ready for safety
N'laea: The sooner we leave the city, the better for me.
Branwyn: Very good
Fives: Gosh I'll miss this place.
Branwyn: pays the barkeep and then returns to teleport
Jennevive: More than you know
Fives: Belle, I'm leaving now. Get stuffed, ya upright tart!
Branwyn: [CAST] Teleport
Branwyn: [d100 = 15]
Licornah: :: thanks the barkeep for their hospitality ::
BOB And the group arrives at Hourglass and the Inn
BOB and break
BOB back to Dryads Lair
TMO (TMO): test
BOB Talwin, Rae, Bixi, Zayden
Lisa (Indigo): very nice TMO!
TMO: well, that was amusing. hope it went well
BOB Yes well done TMO
Shislif (Zayden): i'm here :)
Shislif (Zayden): thx for the ping
Lisa (Indigo): this will be fun
BOB So everyone in Dryads Lair you have any misc things to work out? spells, skills? presents to purchase?
Michael (Talwin): Was a fun conversation, even for me lol
Michael (Talwin): :)
Michael (Talwin): I have one damn present to give to Bran, and I can't give it yet. lol
TMO (Craigh): learn to cast Copy
Shislif (Zayden): prolly dancing and a cool pair of sunglasses (preferably magical)
Michael (Talwin): However, health potions if possible bob.
Carissa (Raelynn): Rae has her spells and glitter. She is good. Her mother's sending her off with goodies and stuff too I'm sure
BOB make that roll for Craigh
Michael (Talwin): I know they are crazy expensive, but I've been asking for a couple weeks now if we can pick a couple up...
Craigh: [d100 = 88]
Howard Plum: [CHECK] Learn Spell (vs. Target 50) [FAILURE by 28] [d100 = 78]
BOB that is how you do it TMO so you can roll again
Craigh: [CHECK] Learn Spell (vs. Target 65) [FAILURE by 11] [d100 = 76]
Lisa (Howard Plum): cry
TMO (Craigh): welp, that's a bummer
Raelynn: (but roll better)
Carissa (Raelynn): pats Howard on the back
BOB Ok so both of you fail at this level, you can re-roll when you go up one level
Lisa (Howard Plum): for Craigh
Shislif (Zayden): you'll get em next time tiger!
TMO (Craigh): Craigh will never go up a level
Carissa (Raelynn): also pats Craigh on the back
Lisa (Howard Plum): Howard's roll was just an example
BOB Ahh
Shislif (Zayden): also pats Craigh on the bottom
Carissa (Raelynn): pats everyone on the back to cover her bases and make sure she got the right person
Michael (Talwin): lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What did I try and fail to learn last time?
Carissa (Raelynn): (Glitterdust you wanted to learn, not sure you tried)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And does it accumulate? Like if I failed at that spell, can I roll for that again, and then also for glitterdust?
TMO (Craigh): I'll look and see if there are any other spells I want to try for from the royal library while he's working there
Carissa (Raelynn): (Rainbow Pattern, but it isn't here so you have ot stick to Howard spells like Glitter)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah but there was one back at home that I tried to learn....
BOB You can re-roll each time you go up a level for any spell you miss
Lisa (Howard Plum): you gotta keep notes on those things
BOB except for Branwyn and Dispel Magic that is an automatic failure at this point
TMO (Craigh): lol
Lisa (Howard Plum): lol
Carissa (Raelynn): I think the illusion spell on the list you didn't have
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, maybe it was rainbow pattern. Shoot. I don't remember and there's zero percent chance I will be able to find it this quicly. So I guess just glitterdust for now
Michael (Talwin): With how infrequently we go up in levels bob, do you think they can just learn them? Is it hard and fast just never going to change?
Lisa (Howard Plum): you mentioned dimension door too
TMO (Craigh): there's also a limit to the number of spells you can learn, Michael
Carissa (Raelynn): not rainbow pattern, you couldn't learn it until now
BOB Correct to Michael, every level you get to try again, want to go up faster? go on more harder adventures, grins
Michael (Talwin): Right, but if there is a hard limit, I sure as shit would want to get the ones I want...
Michael (Talwin): Right, but realistically bob, they will roll again in like...2 years?
TMO (Craigh): yeah, Craigh's almost at his limit.
Lisa (Howard Plum): yes next time kill the ancient red dragon and auto level
Carissa (Raelynn): My guess is Illusionary Script, Invisibility, Spectral Force, or Wraithform?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Where do I find this spell learn roll?
BOB Yes to Michael for that too, is why being a Mage is hard
Michael (Talwin): LOL LIsa :)
TMO (Craigh): Stats, under INT
BOB and LOL Lisa
Michael (Talwin): I'll get right on that Lisa :)
TMO (Craigh): it's marked 'Learn'
Lisa (Howard Plum): lol
Michael (Talwin): I'll donate my XP to you guys
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wait, what? How much limit? I have twelve million spells
TMO (Craigh): just drag it to the chat window
Bixi Fizzlebang: [CHECK] Learn Spell (vs. Target 65) [SUCCESS by 48] [d100 = 17]
BOB Priests do not have limits, Mages do
TMO (Craigh): wizards have a limit, sorry Lemon. You clerics have no limmits
BOB and there you go
Michael (Talwin): I thought they were Mages? Aren't Wizards completely different?
BOB See how easy it is Craigh? ;P
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): So... if I get too many and I want a new one, can I "forget" an old one, or am I just stuck?
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
TMO (Craigh): Craigh is flipping Bob off with his invisible hand
BOB correct to Lemon, once you max out you are maxed out, no forgetting
TMO (Craigh): wizards are stuck
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well ok. That's good to know. Rethinking that rainbow pattern now
BOB Priest just cast, Mages Plan
Lisa (Howard Plum): yeah right
BOB LOL
TMO (Craigh): the difference is that clerics are fed their power from their god. Mages power themselves.
Michael (Talwin): So your only option to get around that rule...is to hope for Wish 2.0 and pray that the prevention is comparale to the Cure
Michael (Talwin): I guess
BOB In the grand scheme of things, the most powerful are Priests, then Mages, then Fighters, then Thieves,
TMO (Craigh): and then Craigh
TMO (Craigh): :)
BOB HAH
Lisa (Howard Plum): lol
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB But only because Priests have organization
Michael (Talwin): Well as I said. My next character with Magic is strictly a healing priest for the win
TMO (Craigh): bureaucracy
BOB Mages individually are more powerful
BOB At high levels,
BOB In any case
Carissa (Raelynn): Oof, Michael, you'll need Lisa to agree. I believe she once said something about no more priest...? ;)
BOB you still have 60+ minutes to get everything organized before we CLICK off the days to get to Loosend
Michael (Talwin): Did she really? Oops
TMO (Craigh): well, he did say "next character *with magic*". His next character might be a thief.
Lisa: no lol
Michael (Talwin): I mean, a strictly healing priest, how bad can that go wrong?
Carissa (Raelynn): Didn't you read her sign at the airport??
BOB Well when everyone dies in Hell you can redo the party how you want
Michael (Talwin): I healed you into the next life!
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Michael (Talwin): Oh LOL
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ouch
Lisa: besides how long will it be before you get another character
BOB LOL with Carissa
Michael (Talwin): Probably when we start the next Era. I love fighting with Talwin, just a change of pace again...
Michael (Talwin): Oh lol. Or apparently when Bob's prediction comes true?
Lisa: I wouldn't mind playing a total whack job priest
Michael (Talwin): Jeeze bob. Thanks for the vote of confidence.....
BOB so for Spring, Lanek is the longest training, that is why the 7 months, then the rest can be fully trained and ready to go when he is
Michael (Talwin): Even Talwin was faster? Wow
BOB Right now we have the Alexandria story arc to finish, then the Book Return story arc to finish
TMO (Craigh): Bob, I'm going to go ahead and roll a Learn Spell, even though I don't know for sure which spell it is yet. I'll pick that out over the week.
BOB after all that then the most likely thing is the Desert trip
BOB go for it TMO
Craigh: [CHECK] Learn Spell (vs. Target 65) [SUCCESS by 15] [d100 = 50]
BOB Excellent
Lisa: yay!
Carissa (Raelynn): Woo!
Michael (Talwin): Wait really? I thought there was more before Desert?
Shislif (Zayden): nice
Michael (Talwin): Awesome TMO!
TMO (Craigh): I'll post in Discord what he picks, and you can approve or deny that he found it
Michael (Talwin): Sorr for the others :(
BOB no we only have three or four more sessions before Hell is unleashed
Shislif (Zayden): been there :)
Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, I didn't know this was an option. Can I roll one for the mystery spell, and then check over the week and see if there really was a mystery spell or if I'm making that up?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
Michael (Talwin): Is that going to take us to the Anniversary game if you would have to guess?
BOB so by the Birthday Game we should be at moving into the Desert
BOB and yes to Lemon make that roll
TMO (Craigh): see, the difference is that I didn't ask Bob, I told him. :P
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Bixi Fizzlebang: [CHECK] Learn Spell (vs. Target 65) [SUCCESS by 57] [d100 = 8]
Carissa (Raelynn): nice
Michael (Talwin): Perfect! Still can't tell you how excited I am....
TMO (Craigh): Sweet!
Lisa: if the mystery spell is in dragon fen you can't get it until then
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nice! I will let you know what spell I might have learned when I figure it out
BOB Mystery spell is before leaving for Loosend
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, it's going to take some research lol, I only remember failing
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Don't remember the location it was at or the person I was supposed to learn it from or anything
TMO (Craigh): could it be in the logs?
BOB It most certainly is in the chat logs
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I'm going to have to go back and look
BOB at some year in the past
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But that is a problem for future Lemon
BOB smiles
TMO (Craigh): Future Lemon hates Past Lemon
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh she absolutely does
BOB Tonight Lemon needs to make sure that Zayden is ready to go back up stream
Shislif (Zayden): why wouldn't Zay be ready?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): What? I'm Zayden's keeper now?
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Michael (Talwin): It's a promotion! :)
TMO (Craigh): Yep!
BOB Zayden, Bixi, Daph are three that are almost ready, Talwin is waiting on the docks for you
TMO (Craigh): By Unanimous Acclaim!
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Where's Knotty?
BOB Indigo and Howard are packing up gear and finishing breakfast
Shislif (Zayden): always with knotty!
Michael (Talwin): Probably eating somethign
BOB Knotty is grumbling about having to leave the nice easy paddock for the last half hear
BOB year
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I am indeed always knotty
BOB and Rae and Youtargim are returning from a long walk........
Shislif (Zayden): As Zay's manager, he's gonna need all your attention :)
BOB as everyone is loading and gettign ready, you conviently forget about Lanek and Craigh
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] (to Knotty) I know it's uncomfortable, but once we get home, I promise never to put you on a ship again unless it has to be done to save your life. You will be comfortable and happy.
<font color="#000000">(to Knotty) I know it's uncomfortable, but once we get home, I promise never to put you on a ship again unless it has to be done to save your life. You will be comfortable and happy.
[understood by: Bixi Fizzlebang, Daphene]
Lisa: lol
Bixi Fizzlebang: Zayden, are you ready to go?
TMO (Craigh): so convenient
Michael (Talwin): lol
Zayden: Hey Bixi
Zayden: I'm not sure, did we finish breakfast? Did I bathe?
Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't know, did you?
Zayden smells self
Zayden: hmm seems ok
Michael (Talwin): One of these days, you will draw Bixi's ire, and I will laugh at that day....
Michael (Talwin): :)
Zayden: Yea I guess I'm good to go Bix
Shislif (Zayden): lol
BOB Talwin's hair is grown back from the torch incident
Bixi Fizzlebang: Fantastic, let's get going. Talwin's been glitter bombed twice this adventure... his patience is probably at an all time low
Bixi Fizzlebang: No need to kick the dragon or whatever the phrase is
Michael (Talwin): Which one bob?
BOB grins
Michael (Talwin): Wastn't here more then one?
Zayden: Oh that Tal, he so crazy
Michael (Talwin): He got better!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Also... is Zay ever going to get a haircut, or is the caveman look his permanent thing?
Michael (Talwin): A little
BOB Indigo? Howard?
Shislif (Zayden): I wouldn't mind a revamped Zay
BOB Find an image you like Sharif
Shislif (Zayden): I tried checking out that site you linked to but it seemed hard and I lost interest
BOB Along the lines of a Pict
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Great... add to our list of things to do on the way home... find a good barber.
BOB TMO and Carissa like creating those portaits
Carissa (Raelynn): if you tell TMO or me, we can help make one for you
Michael (Talwin): You are a man after my heart haha. I seemed hard and I lost interest could describe a lot of the hobbies I attempt LOL
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol, I was going to also offer
Carissa (Raelynn): we did that for Lara
TMO (Craigh): thought I did one already?
Shislif (Zayden): oh ok cool, yea I thought I'd give it a try but couldn't get the hang of it, thx!
Carissa (Raelynn): There you go, I forgot Lemon enjoyed it, too
BOB You can have fun during the week with it
Lisa (Indigo): there's that one on 4/21 in portrait-art that TMO did where he looks like he could be on the cover of a romance novel
Shislif (Zayden): lol with the hobbies yea I understand :)
BOB Lisa? Indigo or Howard?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Do we have a current picture of Zayden in the discord? We can compete. Let's all submit three options and then Sharif can pick the one he likes best
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Winner gets bedgruding mumbles about how theirs shouldn't have won
Michael (Talwin): Oh boy, let the pictures begin!
Shislif (Zayden): Oh yea I remember that one!
Michael (Talwin): Just know, that nothing will ever beat the Goblin Chaps picture
Shislif (Zayden): I did think it was a bit on the Fabio side
Indigo: my guys are ready
Michael (Talwin): sorry lisa :)
Shislif (Zayden): if I may say, I (Obviously) take The Dude from the big Lebowskie as a significant portion of his character, if that influences the image
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Fantastic. I will submit my entries as soon as I don't have to pay attention here anymore
Carissa (Raelynn): Well, as someone who does not watch things, Lemon and TMO can help with this, lol
Shislif (Zayden): lol fair
Michael (Talwin): And we shall all also draw up a list of three movies that Carissa will need to watch
Michael (Talwin): emphasize the classics
Shislif (Zayden): ohhh that would be fun
Carissa (Raelynn): lol good luck getting me to watch them but I will be interested in this list
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nah, she won't do it
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wasted effort
BOB One last check for all your belongings
Raelynn: checks all her belongings
Michael (Talwin): Damn, I knew I forgot the USB charging cable in the damn bathroom again!
Michael (Talwin): Sigh
BOB keep your hands and feet inside the Ship (not boat) at all times
Michael (Talwin): Did we already check out?
Zayden check his belongings and grabs himself
Raelynn: gives her mom a kiss and hug goodbye and promises to write sooner
TMO (Craigh): we were discording over portrait updating
Carissa (Raelynn): so Daph looks proper
BOB Ready Set CLICK
Lisa (Indigo): whoosh!
Shislif (Zayden): click
Talwin: Checking over luggage
Talwin: Humming to himself, lighter and lighter the more time goes on
Talwin: Waves to companions
Talwin: Got everything!?
Talwin: I'm pretty sure we are set
Talwin: Scratches head
BOB that click takes you from the end of the 7 months of training, to sailing upstream, up the Chandler Cowles River past Rivers Bend, past the mermen, heading up past misc encounters you do not deal with and so get no XP from, and you arrive in Loosend at the end of the squishy time
Raelynn: blows a kiss to the mermen
Talwin: Drops off the Promised Ale
Talwin: Drops off the Promised Ale
Talwin: With well wishes
Michael (Talwin): Also good of you to clarify that Clicking grants no XP lol
Craigh: So, Lanek. We've been abandoned in the Big City. What mischief should we do now?
Lisa (Indigo): lol
BOB Next week we pick up with locked in on the calendar for both groups, hint Branwyn & Lichornah are far behind the Talwin group and so can get more things done as they wish
Lemon (Daphene): Daph would never forget the wise man Lanek
Lisa (Indigo): far ahead you mean?
Lemon (Daphene): I thought they were teleporting?
Michael (Talwin): heads up bob? I can only be in about two and a half hours next Friday. unfortuantely have a dissertation meeting I cannot miss
Michael (Talwin): I do apologize, but I was sure to make sure I could be in at least part of the tiem
Shislif (Zayden): Oh yea I'll prolly won't be able to make it next week either
BOB Behind, the visit to Dryads Lair, then Rivers Bend and then back to Dragon Fen takes place well before the rest of the group even gets around to leaving Dyrads Lair
Carissa (Raelynn): (time wise Nlaea and co are behind)
BOB Will you be late Michael?
Michael (Talwin): No, early
Carissa (Raelynn): (like... left earlier so have lots of time to dwawdle or watever before the other group leaves)
Carissa (Raelynn): words are hard
Michael (Talwin): Sorry have to leave early
BOB No worries Michael
Michael (Talwin): About 9:30 your time
TMO (Craigh): next question is should I drop out Craigh for Fives once we get back to Dragons Fen? Craigh should not go to Hell, I'm thinking, even if I keep him. :)
BOB so plan on Talwin's group going first next week, then end of the night Licornah and Branwyn
Michael (Talwin): After that though, I am in the clear again :)
Michael (Talwin): And that would be helpful :)
BOB That is a question for when/if Criagh makes it back to Dragon Fen
Michael (Talwin): Although I look forward to the Discord this week. Portraits and Comments Oh my :)
TMO (Craigh): good point
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Michael (Talwin): He sure as shit better be. I love Craigh :)
Carissa: who else will Bixi look up to not literally but figuratively?
TMO (Craigh): well, we have to find a new way to Torment Talwin, y'know?
Carissa: (since she looks up to everyone literally...)
BOB So my list looks like:
Michael (Talwin): LOL Carissa
Shislif (Zayden): refilll time brb
BOB Loosend, sell the Buttercup, gather supplies, and head south along the road
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Carissa: SEANCE
Michael (Talwin): I think Bixi and Rae have you beat on Talwin haha
BOB You will tell me during the week what you need to happen
BOB there we go Carissa, number one item
Michael (Talwin): Yes, we will do this
BOB Do that in Loosend
BOB before heading south
Carissa: Loosend. Inn, maybe more depending how she likes it while she cna
BOB then again? before entering the Mist and not being available
BOB then at the Inn
BOB Last third of the evening, Jenn, Branwyn, Licornah arrive at the inn
Carissa: (hey edge of the inn there was at place for sick people we met Red - I dunno, depends how this goes)
Carissa: (....just keeping forgetting Nae exists)
BOB then go back to Dragon Fen
BOB N'alea is getting home and then doing her own thing

BOB When everyone is back in Dragon Fen all the training will be done
Lisa: yes
BOB we will be doing one or three encounter on the way back to Dragon Fen to test combat Tracker and such under the latest version
TMO (Craigh): Is Licornah still here?
BOB So we are ready for the encounters with Hell
BOB Licornah is in the Inn of the Lost Eagle currently
BOB with Branwyn, Jenn, and N'laea
Carissa: Rae has fancy spells, Talwin new skills. I do want a few easier encounters to mess with on the way back so yes, at least a few.
Lisa: and Fives

Michael (Talwin): On the way back Talwin (obviously not in game) will be looking for potential business opportunities to set up :)
Carissa: dunno
BOB One set of "easy" encounters all ready for you Carissa next week
Carissa: good
Lisa: lol
Michael (Talwin): why is easy, in quotation marks bob....?
BOB Yes to Lorie being logged in still
Carissa: just saying I don't want to fully skimp our walk back; I was looking forward to it (minus any water travel)
Lorie (Licornah): (I'm here... )
TMO (Craigh): I just wanted to apologize, in RP it looked like Fives ignored her. In my head, Fives barely remembered the meeting, and pretty much did not remember any of the individual people. So when she greeted him, he had no clue who she was.
Carissa: well he did call Howard Hank so...
Michael (Talwin): lol
Licornah: ((:: shrugs :: ))
Shislif (Zayden): Seems like Fives should be the one to apologize :)
Lorie (Licornah): (I'm quiet, easy to forget)
Lisa: lol
BOB LOL
Lisa: to TMO's comment not you Lorie
Lisa: I mean Sharif's
TMO (Craigh): yeah, that's not a thing. :) But it was not intended to be any slight from me. I fully intend to RP with anyone and everyone who wants it.
BOB I find Lorie hard to forget
Carissa: I hope he does remember Hank at least. So we can start calling him Hank
TMO (Craigh): Oh yes, Hank has been intended to be a thing ever since I thought of it.
Lisa: short for Hankie?
Michael (Talwin): Hankler
TMO (Craigh): yep!
Lisa: Howard will want his handkerchief back
Carissa: lol
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Lemon (Daphene): I want to check up on the owl bears, the rust monsters... and I kind of want to see if the circus is still around too. I never found out what tricks Knotty knows
Lorie (Licornah): (Lorie isn't Princess Unicorn )
Lemon (Daphene): And definitely yes to the seance
Carissa: yeah I got my list on the site, but I'm sure I have more to add for the walk back
BOB Please for Lemon and Carissa make a list to put on the OOC page so I have the encounters ready to spring on you
Lisa: not sure how we will get Rae and Bran at the inn at the same time for the seance ...
BOB Eventually will sync up just not in the next two sessions
Lisa: Bran has a mission. not just to do it
Carissa: lol I figured once they get back she can tell Bran all about the earlier seance and they cna go there before they leave?
Carissa: *leave for hell
Michael (Talwin): Well with that, I think I'm off for tonight :) It was a phenomenal session and I want to thank you all for the fun I had tongiht :)

'Shislif' disconnected
BOB It is not that the roll is that much work but it already happened in the past so you need to decide before you can move forward
BOB You already have the one spell you learning for training (shadow monsters) then the new one you rolled for sucessfully
TMO: jumping in voice if you're up for that Lemon. I can share the lists
BOB that can be a spell you are learning from Howard, or some new spell, (better choice) because you can learn from Howard again when you get home
BOB TMO I will shut this down briefly
BOB to grrab the chat logs
BOB then bring it back up in two minutes
BOB are you at a safe space for that? TMO? Lemon?
