Spring: hi Michael
Lisa: Hi Michael :)
Spring: i need coffee, i haven't enough brain. BTW, routine reminder, i am on duty and may vanish suddenly at any time
Talwin: hey Guys! I'm using a slightly unfamiliar keyboard that expands a bit beyond my normal pinky reach, so if you see weird stuff (weirder then normal for me at least) just be prepared :)
BOB smile
Lorie: Spring - no worries, we'll ensure our party's fate rests in your hand
BOB and LOL Lisa
Lorie: Michael - you can pass it off as Gaelic - most folks won't read it
Talwin: So i did the sneaky, I'll just go to the restroom, and then ran for my life out the front door. Don't even think anyone noticed
<font color="#000000">GM [Firenewt]: [Translation] Happy St Patricks day... or Happy Michael Typing
<font color="#000000">Happy St Patricks day... or Happy Michael Typing
[understood by: ]
Talwin: LOL Lorie
BOB and excellent Michael
Michael (Talwin): Probably won't be able to do it all the time, but I had hid all my stuff in my car at lunch, so only had my notepad. It worked and that's all the matters :)
Lorie: Sometimes at Conferences, that is the best strategy
Michael (Talwin): It was boring as heck too. Had nothing to do with me
Lorie: I give thanks for virtual conferences these days
'Carissa' connected
Michael (Talwin): Also, Corporations are NOT your family no matter what they say, HR is never on your side, and my life outside of work is nobodies business. Not that that is causing me any issues, but it IS my firm belief.....
BOB Hello Carissa
Lorie: Evening Carissa
Michael (Talwin): Hi Carissa! :)
Lisa: Hi Carissa :)
Spring: hi Carissa!
Michael (Talwin): Also sorry about your microsoft update... we had a big one at work today. No idea if same cause, but it was irritating
BOB So Michael and Spring are tweaking characters, roleplaying in whispers and posting to the site in the Conversation Links
Michael (Talwin): I shall open the site :)
Spring: LOL Michael excellent escape and i endorse everything you said about acting your wage
'TMO' connected
BOB Welcome TMO
Michael (Talwin): Er...I do okay, I just prioritize game night whenever possible. Don't have too much of a life beyond a few friends and game night lol
Michael (Talwin): The joy of getting older :(
BOB We love you too Michael
Michael (Talwin): Also Hi TMO!
Michael (Talwin): Awww
Spring: hi TMO!
Lisa: Hi TMO :)
Lorie: Evening TMO
Carissa: FG is still loading... I saw you all briefly.
Michael (Talwin): Sigh. I hate to ask, but where should Spring and I converse on the site if needed? Not sure if this is a specific area you want
BOB I see a Carissa
Carissa: Oh there we are, finally. Hi all
Lorie: :: waves ::
BOB If you look in the DS Musings there are links Michael
Michael (Talwin): Gotcha. Thanks
TMO: 'ello
TMO: sorry to be late, we wanted to finish the box we were packing up
Michael (Talwin): Hey Spring if you want to do any specific conversations, I have the Dragon Fen conversations link open and ready. If you don't, no worries, I'll do some reading and prepping for Hell, but I'm here if you want :)
BOB No worries
BOB You can always whisper here too Spring and Michael
TMO: we were supposed to spend the day packing away our fragile things, but nobody ever made a move to start. :)
Carissa: (or create a thread on Discord and move it to site after so you don't get clutter from our convo, too)
Spring: thanks Michael. essentially, everywhere BOB said "and" for me it is "or"
BOB Yes for Carissa
BOB LOL Spring HUGS
Spring: i can level Lanek up 3 OR i can whisper some stuff OR i can write some stuff on a site
BOB smiles
BOB and so
Fives: Bob - did you get the MOD I sent thru Discord DM?
BOB Lisa? Lorie? Carissa? TMO? ready to go?
Lisa: sure
BOB and yes it is loaded, and shared TMO
Michael (Talwin): lol spring. It took me a second, but I get it haha.
TMO (Fives): excellent
Carissa: sure
Lorie (Licornah): Allons-y!
Jennevive: Stretches
Jennevive: Ahhh
TMO (Fives): heh - we've never built up Fives' character sheet, I'll have to work on that
TMO (Fives): anyways, ready
Looks at the wall of Mist just outside the gates
Jennevive: It is good to be home
Spring: so who or what is Fives and are they related to the star wars character?
N'laea: Or at least out of the city.
Fives: Huh. That was a pip. Y'all travel like that a lot?
Carissa (N'laea): (new TMO henchman)
Licornah: :: looks at Jennevive ::
TMO (Fives): (there is an RP reason for the name, but the Meta-reason is because his starting stat rolls were 15-15-15-10-10-10)
Carissa (N'laea): (we talked to him briefly during birthday game - can't remember if you were here for that part - and recently found him again for his Hell experties)
Carissa (N'laea): lol amazing TMO
Branwyn: When we can
Spring: LOL
Looks at Branwyn
Jennevive: So are you ready to go to Hell?
Branwyn: I think I will stay here a while before heading back to Dragon Fen. I have got to try to figure out how this ring works
Branwyn: We need to talk about what you learned first but I think we are making progress
Jennevive: I mean now
N'laea: The sun is nice, but you cannot go far here.
Jennevive: Let's go
Jennevive: why wait?
Licornah: I think I'll stay here as well :: looks at the Mist ::
Jennevive: you and me, let's go
Jennevive: NOW
Licornah: :: gets out her weaving ::
Jennevive: You have the book
N'laea: To weave?
Jennevive: Before you let anyone at home know you are back
Jennevive: let's go
Branwyn: You haven't told us anything about the trip. And I don't have the medallion or the scroll to get there
Branwyn: So no
Jennevive: AHHH so you want to plan
Branwyn: I don't want to go and lose years of my children's lives again
Jennevive: I do understand that
Branwyn: if planning means making sure we have the means to get there AND back then yes I suppose I do
Branwyn: smiles
Jennevive: So we know now we will wait and do this on your terms
Fives: I bet you hate that, don't you?
Smiles and nods to Branwyn
Licornah: I'd rather weave than be sick again...
Jennevive: Hate? Branwyn? Never, I love having her in my life
Jennevive: She has brought so much joy
N'laea: If you cannot handle the discomfort of the Mist, how will you handle Hell?
Looks over at Licornah
Licornah: Depends on where we land... I'm better suited for heat / cold than whatever that mist is
Jennevive: You need to come to the Manor House so we can talk
Jennevive: It is not safe to talk here
Jennevive: anymore than it was in Dryads Lair
Branwyn: Perhaps you have acclimated so you won't be as sick this time
N'laea: And yet Mist Sickness does not last long.
Fives: Hey, so... What's this Mist Sickness thing?
Gerry: Brings over a basket
N'laea: You will find out.
Gerry: Welcome back Countess
Branwyn: Hello Gerry!
Fives: Lovely
N'laea: It is not as big a deal as it sounds. Only briefly unpleasant sometimes.
Gerry: Your daughter said to have a basket of fruits ready for you, that you would need it
Licornah: :: smiles at Gerry :: how have you been?
Branwyn: That was sweet of her. And you. Thank you.
Branwyn: Licornah, look at this nice fruit. This should help
Gerry: I was told by the Countess that other sweet things are off the menu
Gerry: and if I may ask who is our new... visitor? whereever you found him? it?
Branwyn: This is Fives. He's from Rivers Bend
Branwyn: He's going to help us with our trip to Hell
Gerry: He looks to be from someplace where the sun burns your skin
Gerry: and I am sorry for that
Gerry: and I am sorry you still are planning that trip Countess
Fives: What the hell, man?
Carissa (N'laea): LOL
Fives: You look like you come from someplace with too much food and not enough work.
Gerry: Thank you!
Branwyn: laughs
Gerry: We do have excellent food here
Michael (Talwin): lol
Gerry: and I do plan on not working
Fives: Great. Congratulations on meeting your life's goals.
Gerry: Ummm (glances over at Branwyn) I mean working just what I need to
Branwyn: Of course!
Michael (Talwin): Words briefly failed me
Gerry: I am very appreciative that she has not required me to leave here
N'laea: She does not want you dead.
Branwyn: looks at the ring on her finger and tries to see if she senses anything different now they are at the Inn
BOB Licornah and definately Fives and N'laea do not understand that one
N'laea: (to Five) Not from Mist Sickness. Different complications.
Fives: 'Work or die' kind of boss, eh?
BOB For Branwyn no new insights
Carissa (N'laea): (you mean disappearing into the past? because nlaea does as she was here...)
Branwyn: gives her hand a slight shake in frustration
BOB sorry yes Carissa
Branwyn: I woul dnever ask you to leave Gerry.
BOB Branwyn can make a Wisdom Intuition check
Carissa (N'laea): (remember how time mage got mad he found Rae pretty? I remember. Pepperidge Farm remembers)
Branwyn: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 9]
BOB LOL Carissa Quote
Fives: Fives wanders away a few steps and looks out at the Mist.
BOB and Branwyn understands now that the ring must have something that can be done either A - at a higher level or B - someplace other than this plane
Carissa (N'laea): Time PLane?
Lisa (Branwyn): really? sigh :(
Lisa (Branwyn): she's not getting to a higher level
BOB chuckles
BOB so it must be the other thing
Carissa (N'laea): (we can still seance! just to confirm)
Lisa (Branwyn): sure!
Carissa (N'laea): yesss
BOB grins yes
Lisa (Branwyn): I wanted to try to figure it out in case there were spells to learn that could help in hell while waiting for the other group to come back
Spring (Lanek Olenak): okay i can't make the level number change so i guess i move to the next thing
Lisa (Branwyn): not fair to give Branwyn a ring full of spells she can't open
Lisa (Branwyn): but I guess my other plans won't work then
Lisa (Branwyn): I was going to ask Fives to knock her out
Lisa (Branwyn): thought he would like that
Carissa (N'laea): lol how would that help?
User has gone AFK. (Spring)
Lisa (Branwyn): thinking maybe she couldn't open the ring of spells while her head was full so knocking her out would put her on empty
Carissa (N'laea): Okay chat perusing - maybe it is from the plane where he got the wood for his hourglass?
N'laea: and you do have that wood somewhere I'm sure if you want to explore one more plane...
Carissa (N'laea): (ooc)
Branwyn: I do have a piece of it at home but I'm not sure where it is from
TMO (Fives): knocking Jenn out? Yes please!
BOB So at this point anything the group wants to do before heading into the Mist and back to the Manor House
Lisa (Branwyn): lol no Branwyn :)
Carissa (N'laea): why not both?
Carissa (N'laea): BOGO!
Michael (Talwin): Bogo?
Lisa (Branwyn): LOL
Carissa (N'laea): Buy One Get One (Free)
Michael (Talwin): Thank you :)
Lorie (Licornah): :: Pray away the mist ::
Lisa (Branwyn): if my ring experiments won't work then nothing for me
Fives: Yeah, I got a quick thing, just in case.
Lisa (Branwyn): I was also going to try and hug the honey pot with the ring on :)
Carissa (N'laea): LOL you should anyways
BOB Go for it TMO
Fives: I screwed up a bit when we made our deal, just want to see if it'll be a problem for you if we fix it.
Branwyn: raises an eyebrow
Branwyn: Yes?
Fives: On the second book, I didn't specify that it had to have something to do with devils. Also, when you're done with me, you get to put me back in a city of some sort, not just dump me in the wilderness or anything like that.
Branwyn: laughs
Fives: I got carried away in the moment and forgot to add those caveats to the deal.
Branwyn: That can be arranged
N'laea: Wilderness would be nicer than a city.
Fives: Nope, not even close.
Licornah: :: nods in agreement with N'laea ::
N'laea: Perhaps not for you.
N'laea: You may burn more.
Fives: So, I get why skirts here is following Her Highness. Why are you other two going along with this? What's in it for you?
N'laea: Returning a favor.
Licornah: In it? Visitng new lands? Meeting new creatures?
Lorie (Licornah): (adding stamps to my passport?)
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
Branwyn: Shall we be off then?
Fives: I think you already are, but let's go.
N'laea: No reason to stay.
Branwyn: All right then.
Branwyn: passes through the gate of the inn
Branwyn: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 12]
Licornah: :: puts away her weaving and stands :: Thank you Gerry, for the hospitality
BOB Branwyn is still healthy
N'laea: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 10]
Gerry: Thank you Licornah
Gerry: I hope you have nice trip
Licornah: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 4]
Lisa (Branwyn): yay!
Lorie (Licornah): ((hooray!!!))
TMO (Fives): just plain Con?
Waves to the group as they leave
Lisa (Branwyn): yes we lost Health
Branwyn: waves
Fives: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 5]
BOB and N'alea
Lisa (Branwyn): This is a hardy group
Carissa (N'laea): (rolled a 10)
Carissa (N'laea): (right after Bran)_
BOB DOH
BOB So only Fives failed
Lisa (Branwyn): no
TMO (Fives): what?
BOB Yes I saw the roll
Carissa (N'laea): (no? success by 5)
TMO (Fives): auto-fail, I guess. no biggie
TMO (Fives): effects?
BOB Not auto but there is a negative
BOB normal effects
TMO (Fives): apparently a big one. :) no prob
Lisa (Branwyn): first time in Mist penalty?
BOB N'laea and Branwyn can make Intution checks
N'laea: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 14]
Branwyn: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 15]
Carissa (N'laea): ouch
Carissa (N'laea): but first time?
BOB Wis not Int
N'laea: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 14]
Spring (Lanek Olenak): i don't know how to adjust hit dice for new level
Carissa (N'laea): Oh hey yay
TMO (Fives): Fives has never been anywhere near the Mist before
Carissa (N'laea): I always forget that
-> N'laea: Fives is having the same reaction that the genie did
N'laea: (to Fives) You act like Namsut
N'laea: Fascinating. And how did she react?
BOB roll 3d6 Spring and I will adjust for you
N'laea: That is not normal.
TMO (Fives): I don't remember the Mist effects?
-> N'laea: Sluggish, and then when you brought her to the Inn suddenly bright and happy
N'laea: Oh so like anyone Mist Sick? So normal?
Fives: *choking* This Mist ain't normal. What the hell is this stuff?
Lorie (Licornah): (Hopefully it's different for non-Elves :) ))
-> N'laea: More extreme than even Elves......
N'laea: Your sickness is worse even than elves.
BOB So everyone is back at the Manor House
N'laea: What are you?
Licornah: :: continues trying to hold her breath ::
Licornah: :: and exhales ::
BOB and it takes Fives more time to recover than Licornah and N'laea
N'laea: Hopefully whatever you are is capable in Hell.
Branwyn: Are you saying he is not human?
N'laea: His sickness is worse than mine after Aravainth. It is hard to imagine anyone being as sick as that.
Carissa (N'laea): (or however you spell it)
N'laea: It is not normal.
Branwyn: Licornah, do you have any identify creature spells for this one?
Branwyn: gestures at Fives
N'laea: No.
N'laea: You should let him chose to tell you.
Fives: *gasp* Fine. whatever. If you care.
Licornah: :: looks between them ::
Branwyn: If we're going to let him live with us we should at least know what we're dealing with
N'laea: Then he can give reasons for secrets for now.
Fives: You just made the deal to send me back to the city if you decide to dump me though.
N'laea: If he does not wish to tell.
Branwyn: That will not be a problem
Fives: Fives takes off his horned helmet, but the horns don't come off,. They're part of his forehead.
Fives: Happy now?
Licornah: :: glances :: Oh...
N'laea: So you speak your own language.
Branwyn: Not especially
Fives: No.
Licornah: :: shrugs ::
Fives: I studied and learned the language on my own.
BOB This is on the road outside of the Inn, you are in The Mist
N'laea: What is the proper name for your kind?
Fives: Who gives a damn? I'm an abomination, just ask anyone. But I'm going to make damn sure there they don't have as many chances to make more like me.
Fives: puts his helmet back on
Licornah: You're only an abomination if you believe you are.... lots of different folks from lots of different places
N'laea: And other elves call my kind savages. But it is your actions that matter. You'll have time to prove yourself.
Fives: Great. Wonderful. Thanks for the words of kindness and cheer. At least you ain't tried to throw holy water on me yet.
N'laea: You do need a bath.
Licornah: :: nods in agreement :: It wouldn't hurt... travelers don't get those as often as you'd like.. especially with bubbles
Fives: Yeah yeah yeah... not a lot of oppotunities. Only so many manors get left untenanted that have baths in 'em.
N'laea: And no lakes or rivers in cities.
Fives: Not so's you'd notice, no.
Fives: Is this damn Mist ever gonna let up?
N'laea: I try to avoid cities when I can.
N'laea: In a week, perhaps.
N'laea: Well, the sickness.
Fives: A WEEK?
Licornah: :: shakes head sadly :: I don't think so
N'laea: Not The Mist.
N'laea: Although... I do not know for you. It was a week for me and I was not as sick.
Fives: Y'all are crazy.
Licornah: :: whispers :: it was awful... no prayer strong enough to help
N'laea: We do as we must.
N'laea: And by your recent actions, you would know crazy.
Fives: There's crazy, and then there's Crazy.
Fives: So, do I still got a job, or are you sending me back?
Branwyn: Once you get used to it, you'll be fine
Fives: That's what they say about the plague too.
Branwyn: I don't see a reason to send you back yet. However, if you change your mind, I can take you somewhere else
Licornah: I could do something if it were a plague... this is not
Fives: I already knew what I was, I'm still in.
Branwyn: You still haven't really explained it. You can't be a devil or you would be more proficient in settling your contact for work
Branwyn: smiles
Fives: scowls
Fives: Human. Momma was pure human through and through.
Branwyn: Good
Fives: You know it.
Branwyn: Are you still in contact with her? We can take you to her when this is over if you wish
Demitrius Branadarus: So are those horns good for anything?
Branwyn: Demi!
Fives: Dead. Few years ago.
Branwyn: I am sorry for that.
Licornah: :: looks at Demitrius ::
Fives: Who the hell is this now?
Branwyn: Fives, this is my son Demitrius
Branwyn: Demi, this is Fives, our new friend
Fives: They're a pain in the ass, kid.
Demitrius Branadarus: Hmmm Is he a goat?
Branwyn: No he is not a goat
TMO (Fives): (what age is he again?)
Branwyn: Be polite
Lisa (Branwyn): 7?
TMO (Fives): thx, couldn't remember. :)
Demitrius Branadarus: Mom, you say that but he does not
Demitrius Branadarus: I read all about Nyads and Saytrs
Demitrius Branadarus: They are natural things
N'laea: Because his helmet has horns on it?
Demitrius Branadarus: Because he has horns,
Demitrius Branadarus: Points
Carissa (N'laea): (he put his helmet back on)
Carissa (N'laea): (a bit ago)
Demitrius Branadarus: see that seam there? that is only because there is something under that
Demitrius Branadarus: Da taught me that
Demitrius Branadarus: attack the seams
Fives: mutters, "Great. Now I gotta deal with wizkid junior too."
Demitrius Branadarus: If there is no seam then there is nothing to protect
N'laea: Well he has yet to prove he has a brain there to protect.
Laughs
Demitrius Branadarus: Brains inside his horns?!?!?!
Demitrius Branadarus: COOOL
N'laea: shrugs
Fives: Mouthing off at a guy you just met ain't real indicative of smarts neither, you know.
Branwyn: sighs
N'laea: There are odder things in this world.
Demitrius Branadarus: Goats do not do that
Demitrius Branadarus: Ahhh anyone Ma brings home is mostly safe
N'laea: Perhaps he is smarter than a goat.
Demitrius Branadarus: and Jilly will make sure too
Fives: 'Mostly'?
Demitrius Branadarus: There was an otter
Winks at his mother
Carissa (N'laea): (one of those otter dragonslayers)
Branwyn: Treble was very safe
Carissa (N'laea): (sorry O'ter?)
Demitrius Branadarus: (quote)
Carissa (N'laea): (still my favorite convo ever)
Demitrius Branadarus: Ma, can we keep this one?
Demitrius Branadarus: I do not think Da will stab him tonight
Fives: sighs
(Turns to wink at Branwyn again)
Branwyn: Your father will not be stabbing anyone tonight
Fives: Between the Mist and this conversation, I think I'd welcome it.
Carissa (N'laea): (unless you open that scroll...)
Demitrius Branadarus: So what is your name?
N'laea: I am happy to help if you need.
Fives: I just bet you would. You can call me Fives.
Carissa (N'laea): (aka MATH)
Demitrius Branadarus: Fives
Demitrius Branadarus: Looks at his hands, yeap fingers
Fives: And I'd appreciate it if y'all wouldn't go about blabbing to *everyone* you meet about my little problem, eh? There's a damn good reason I hide 'em.
Demitrius Branadarus: It is ok no one can hear us
Fives: YOU heard us.
Demitrius Branadarus: Do you have five toes too?
Branwyn: I'm afraid our household will know, but we will not be spreading it outside our home
Fives: What the hell is it with everyone wanting me to take off my clothes today?
Demitrius Branadarus: I listen to everyting or Dal would use it against me
N'laea: Please do not.
Fives: I don't want to!
Demitrius Branadarus: If you are Fives, that means five fingers, five toes, five.... hmmmm
Fives: Yes, yes, you're very smart.
Demitrius Branadarus: Whispers to Licornah Da told me a joke about five holes but I am not sure about that
Licornah: :: blinks and looks at him wide eyed :: ears, nose and mouth?
Fives: Should I be staggering in a particular direction, or just standing here in this crap?
Blushes realizing he is talking with a woman
Demitrius Branadarus: I am sorry
RUNS ahead on the road back to the manor
Licornah: :: nods slowly ::
Branwyn: We're going in the right direction
Fives: *coughs* A week.... dammit.
N'laea: At least a week.
Jennevive: I have to admit I do like Tiberius' style of raising a family
Fives: Thanks for the cheerful outlook, Ears.
Jennevive: So Fives, do you know where your father is from?
Branwyn: Demi is just curious ...
N'laea: Happy to help, Fingers.
Fives: Not really, no. These points didn't come in until I was 10 or so. I never met the bastard that I know of.
Jennevive: Too bad
Fives: I'd like to though.
Jennevive: It would be nice to pin you down and make you answer
Jennevive: Put a boot on your chest and make you squirm
Jennevive: But that can wait until you are healthier and can enjoy that
Fives: Does she ever shut up? Or is like this all the time?
Carissa (N'laea): (almost had N'laea point out Fives is technically the bastard but seems a bit out of character ... but gotta throw that out there as a sorta pun)
Licornah: :: shrugs :: Don't ask me...
Branwyn: This is pretty much her normal state.
Fives: And you keep her around why?
Branwyn: If you liked that sort of thing, it would be an invitation
Fives: Not interested.
BOB So jumping ahead to a time in the future when everyone is at the Manor House and is able to interact normally without restrictions, all spells back, etc.
Lisa (Branwyn): whoosh!
TMO (Fives): how long did it take for Fives?
Carissa (N'laea): Foreverrrrrrr
TMO (Fives): *whiplash!*
Ancelot Roqueze: Countess, I have to ask why did it take so long for the approval for a new farmstead?
Branwyn: looks at Nevin
Ancelot Roqueze: I have people who want to move to Qui Fen and I need your permission every time
Ancelot Roqueze: It is not fair
Ancelot Roqueze: Prince Ilero does not need to get these permissions
TMO (Fives): (oh, I never directly answered the question from earlier, btw, the technical term for his kind is devilkin)
Carissa (N'laea): thx!
Branwyn: I am sorry Master Roqueze, perhaps we can make some arrangement.
Nevin: Ihave told you Ancelot, you need the Countess' permission if you want to expand your holdings
Branwyn: How many farmsteads do you wish to set up?
Nevin: Your taxes are well received, but Countess Branwyn values more than gold
Ancelot Roqueze: I want to establish at least 10 new farmsteads
Branwyn: The reason we must know is to make sure we have the resources to support that much growth.
Branwyn: I believe we can approve the ten you propose, but if you wish to expand further I would appreciate you coming back to us
Jilly: Are you serious Ancelot!!! Let Branwyn be, if Nevin tells you something then it is law
Ancelot Roqueze: Beams at Branwyn, thank you Countess
Nevin: Frowns
Branwyn: You are welcome
BOB The room clears except for Branwyn, the group and her staff
Jilly: That was not well done Branwyn
Branwyn: I'm sorry, but I don't want him popping in here as much as he doesn't.
Jilly: He keeps waiting to ambush you when you come back
Jilly: To get you to agree to things
Jilly: We can make it work
Nevin: I will make it work, playfully SMACKS Jilly with his quill
Branwyn: But 10 farmsteads means more food and taxes and expands the estate. I don't see that as a bad thing
Nevin: They will pay taxes to him first then to you,
Nevin: We can make it work
Winks at Jilly
Branwyn: Thank you
Branwyn: Now Jennevive are you finally ready to deliver your report on Hell?
Jilly: So when are we going to Hell?
Branwyn: No one is listening
Branwyn: Jilly ...
Jennevive: Exactly LAUGHS
Jilly: Do you really think you can make it there and back without me?
Jennevive: Have I told you how much I love your staff Branwyn?
Jennevive: And I wish I meant that in other ways
Branwyn: Yes I do. Besides I don't want to take you from your family for this
Jilly: The kids are doing well
Jilly: OH
Jilly: I could briong Kelly with me
Jilly: She would be great
Nevin: NO
Branwyn: We should really have you move in Jenn since you like it here so much
Branwyn: grins
Branwyn: No children are going to Hell
Nevin: Good
Jilly: Good
Jilly: So it is agreed, that I am going
Nevin: NO
Nevin: Jenn, Can I get you to teach me some of those knots?
Branwyn: laughs
Jennevive: I thought you would never ask
Jennevive: Go Jilly, you do not want to be here where we can see you listening in
N'laea: Can we hear about Hell first?
Jennevive: N'aea, Licornah, Fives,
Jennevive: We need to talk
Jennevive: The best time to go was yesterday
Licornah: why?
Fives: And you do. A lot I've noticed.
Jennevive: the next best time is tomorrow
Jennevive: Good
Jennevive: I have been told that I have one of the best tongues around
Jennevive: If you would like a demonstration
Fives: Had all I can take already thanks.
Carissa (N'laea): (Pretty sure Yout said the same...)
N'laea: Focus.
Branwyn: Jenn ... focus.
Carissa (N'laea): lol jinx
Lisa (Branwyn): lol Carssa
(quote)
Jennevive: First
Jennevive: You asked about time dialation in Hell
Jennevive: Any guesses?
Jennevive: Mister half devil?
Jennevive: Licornah, how long did you think you were in the Elf Lands?
Fives: [TOWER] [SKILL] Devil Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 13]
Licornah: Elf lands - home?
-> Fives: He knows that it varies
Fives: Depends on where ya go.
N'laea: Home not home.
Jennevive: You were with Branwyn when she returned that cloak
Licornah: Oh, you mean the Elven plane. :: nods :: It felt like a few days...
Looks at Fives
Looks at Licornah
Jennevive: Exactly
Jennevive: Looks over at Branwyn, that is your answer for Hell
Branwyn: Can you just be direct? Will I lose years here if we spend a few days in Hell?
Jennevive: I mean exactly what they said,
Jennevive: It will take as long as you think you are there
Jennevive: Licornah thought it was days, so it will be days
Jennevive: You might think it was moments, so it will be moments
Jennevive: Everyone has a different perception and so
Branwyn: I thought it was days and it turned into years
Jennevive: And seconds turn into minutes or less
Jennevive: or earlier
Jennevive: with the weirdness you have at the Inn
Jennevive: You could come back earlier than you left
Jennevive: It is how long each person FEELS they have been gone
Branwyn: That is complete nonsense
Carissa (N'laea): (hey maybe it's next to the time of plane and your ring will work there!)
Jennevive: Infernal nonsence
N'laea: Collectively if we go as a group?
Fives: Time flies when you're having fun. If we're all absolutely damn *miserable* the whole time, it won't be that bad, huh?
N'laea: I do not feel time as most.
Branwyn: I felt I had been gone a couple of days and I returned it was years. My FEELINGS had nothing to do with it
Carissa (N'laea): (LOL)
Points to both Fives and N'laea
N'laea: It is a different plane, yes? So it operates time differently.
Jennevive: Hell is all about how you FEEL
Jennevive: Do you feel like you are being punished?
Jennevive: Eternal Damnation
Fives: visibly restrains himself from making a comment.
N'laea: Only by a teacher who loves pop quizzes.
Fives: visibly restrains himself from making a comment.
Jennevive: Fives here might come back in 2 seconds, Talwin feeling the pulse of combat and the desire to defeat his enemy might take minutes, Indigo might agonize over not being able to help for weeks
Jennevive: Branwyn, you need to come up with an idea to keep everyone you take with you in sync
Jennevive: I offered to go with you just the two of us a couple of weeks ago
Carissa (N'laea): (time to invent watches)
Jennevive: that would have solved it
Branwyn: That makes no sense. When we returned from the Eleven plane the same number of years had passed for all of us
Jennevive: Laughs
N'laea: I doubt Hell is near Aravaith.
Jennevive: You think the contracts in Hell will apply to everyone equally?
Jennevive: I did find something you WILL like
Branwyn: I have no intention of entering into any contracts
Jennevive: the Library in Hell can be access from any of the nine levels of hell
Branwyn: Is the library where these guardians are?
Jennevive: That is who you need to return the book to
Jennevive: Yes
Jennevive: Which brings us to the final idea
Branwyn: So which level is the nicest?
Jennevive: The Inn of the Lost Eagle
N'laea: It's in Hell?
Jennevive: (waits for people to digest that)
Carissa (N'laea): (is Gerry human? Are we going to break our promise and make him leave??)
Jennevive: Smiles with N'laea not quite
Fives: I knew I didn't like that guy at the Inn.
Carissa (N'laea): (Or we're on the Plane of Time... somehow...)
Jennevive: We bring Hell to us
Carissa (N'laea): (Gerry won't like that)
Fives: visibly restrains himself from making another comment.
N'laea: We were just there.
Licornah: How do we do that?
Carissa (N'laea): (blood sacrific, candles, ruin on the floor...)
Jennevive: The Mist will restrict the .... visitors... from leaving the immediate vicinity
Carissa (N'laea): *rune to ruin the floor
Jennevive: We bring the library to the Inn
Branwyn: Why would we do that?
Jennevive: Can you protect how many people from magical heat of Hell?
Jennevive: or cold?
Jennevive: It is an insane idea to do.......
Jennevive: anywhere other than your own special bubble
Jennevive: I do not know how to make it fully work yet
Jennevive: BUT it seems to me the best of the other crazy options
N'laea: He did call us crazy.
N'laea: nods to Fives
Branwyn: And once we bring the library here, how hard will it be to send it back? I don't want hell to take up permanent residence here
Jennevive: I think you would be in charge of that
Jennevive: You create the portal and you can dismiss the portal
Jennevive: I think
Lisa (Branwyn): sorry - brb
Jennevive: Wizard magical that does not always make good Deity sense
User has gone AFK. (Lisa)
N'laea: And if not, they are still stuck at the inn.
Jennevive: That is my thought
N'laea: And not a threat unless someone ventures inside?
Jennevive: At the worst we lose the Inn
Jennevive: A fair trade?
N'laea: It would be unfortunate, but it was not here when I got here. Things change.
Fives: I won't lose any sleep over it.
N'laea: Gerry may feel differently, but Branwyn can work on it with him.
Fives: So long as you're sure none of them can enter the Mist.
Jennevive: I am not sure
Jennevive: I know what I do not know
Fives: Then it's stupid to take the risk.
N'laea: It is better than pretending to know what you do not.
Jennevive: You were not able to enter and be whole
Jennevive: I would guess more pure blood woudl do even worse
Fives: I got better eventually. And they're immortal
Jennevive: We can do experiments
N'laea: A good observation.
N'laea: Experiments?
Jennevive: I like experimenting
Licornah: How safe will those be?
N'laea: What do you have in mind?
Fives: Seriously. Stoo-PID.
Licornah: Do we need to relocate the Inn and surrounding area residents?
Jennevive: I have two scrolls of Gate
Jennevive: We use one to bring in a test subject
N'laea: A summoning.
N'laea: Could you not use those scrolls Branwyn has?
Jennevive: We know we have a restricted area,
Jennevive: She has more?
Jennevive: That is good to know
N'laea: Yes. From Dryads Lair.
N'laea: Only one I am aware of.
Jennevive: We open a gate, summon the appropriate devil to return the book to
Jennevive: and we are done
User is back. (Lisa)
Jennevive: It might only take a few moment
N'laea: It is a more plausible idea than protecting those who go to Hell unless Branwyn only goes with one other. And it would still be difficult. Most spells do not last.
Carissa (N'laea): (One session suree..... nothing will go wrong....)
Jennevive: (grins)
N'laea: How do you find the appropriate devil?
Points to Fives
Jennevive: I did find the Library
Jennevive: at least the entrance to the library
Jennevive: We might want to have someone who can control Devils
Looks at Fives
Fives: I prefer stabbing them.
Jennevive: and someone who can control various forms of undead
N'laea: Why not both?
Jennevive: So Branwyn, do you want to go to Hell with me?
Jennevive: Or do you want to bring Hell home to you?
BOB and BREAK
BOB &&&&&&\
BOB I think that is a good spot to pause
Lisa (Branwyn): something to think about
BOB Exactly
Michael (Talwin): was very interesting lol
BOB glad
BOB I am guessing that it was a twist most were not expecting
Lisa: yes
BOB I was so hoping that Lisa might say F**k it let's go and jump to Hell tonight
Carissa: lol
Michael (Talwin): I was curious
Michael (Talwin): haha
BOB So in the graveyard?
Image: MausoleumGraveYardNight.jpg@Fundamental Fantasy Map Pack II by Joshua Watmough
BOB The Map that launched a dozen dice skins
Carissa (Raelynn): (sure)
Carissa (Raelynn): (grabbing quick snack)
Talwin: Advanced Effect [''] -> [to Talwin]
Talwin: Advanced Effect ['Giant-kin, 2-handed sword;DMGX:2'] -> [to Talwin] [by Giant-kin, 2-handed sword]
Talwin: Advanced Effect ['Punching;BSTR: 0;'] -> [to Talwin] [by Punching]
Lanek Olenak: Advanced Effect ['Punching;BSTR: 0;'] -> [to Lanek Olenak] [by Punching]
Lisa (Indigo): so put Lanek on the map if we need the map
Michael (Talwin): look, I don't think you guys get as much enjoyment as I do, but the (Insert Distinguising Feature) following the name is so damn funny
TMO (Fives): it is quite funny. :)
BOB very glad everyone enjoys that
Michael (Talwin): :)
TMO (Fives): now that the module is loaded, I'm updating Fives' character sheet
TMO (Fives): if you're seeing all the activity, sorry about that
BOB No worries TMO
Lisa (Indigo): nope
BOB I am in Voice and jus told Spring where you are too
BOB Carissa can switch from stern Ranger to Elven Glitter Priest
BOB and Talwin can ask what the hell happened
Talwin: What the hell happened!
BOB while Craigh is triumphant about his new found powers
TMO (Fives): (he got a stun baton spell. :) )
Indigo: We killed about half a dozen ghouls is all
Indigo: And a badger
BOB Leaving Daph and Bixi on the map for now
TMO (Fives): oh right, and his lasso
Talwin: Ghouls huh?
Talwin: Do those regenerate?
Indigo: No one even got paralyzed
Talwin: Or are we good
Indigo: We should probably still burn them
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: Agreed
Talwin: Do you want me to start doing that?
Talwin: I'll gather the corpses
Indigo: Maybe in the morning so we don't call attention to ourselves at night here? I dunno.
Talwin: Hesitates
Talwin: Weighing the dangers
Talwin: Alright
Talwin: Just as long as we keep an eye on them throuout the night
Lorie: (Night all...)
'Lorie' disconnected
TMO (Fives): g'nite!
Lisa (Indigo): Goodnight Lorie!
Michael (Talwin): (Night Lorie :) )
Carissa (Raelynn): (sorry back - cats wanted snacks too)
Carissa (Raelynn): (night lorie)
Indigo: So should we just sleep here?
Talwin: I mean....
Talwin: If we aren't burining them right away, I'd at least like to somewhat keep an eye on them.
Talwin: Shrugs
Carissa (Raelynn): (and now caught up: Glitter Elf Activated!)
Talwin: honestly I'm kind of torn. i don't mind one way or the other
Talwin: Smiles
Michael (Talwin): Sorry checking discord real quick, lots of convo right there
BOB smiles, just making sure everyone is in sync
Raelynn: We have to sleep here so we can protect Norene.
BOB Tell me what you want to do with the graveyard
Talwin: Camping. I'll at least stack the ghouls in a corner. We'll burn them in the morning
Talwin: Good point Raelynn
Talwin: This shouldn't take long.
Raelynn: Maybe the other badger will return to eat them. Which we should let it so it doesn't bite us again.
Michael (Talwin): (Bob, can I manipulate the corpses to place them in a pile?)
Talwin: Chuckles
BOB Yes
Talwin: that would solve that problem for sure
Talwin: Smiles
Michael (Talwin): Hey bob, never had this happen before, but when I try to grab their icons, it just moves my entire window
Michael (Talwin): thoughts?
Raelynn: `Not sure we found where Norene rests, though...
Michael (Talwin): can still move characters just fine
BOB Yes to Michael
BOB No to Carissa
BOB Which icon Michael?
Michael (Talwin): Justwanted to pile the ghouls in a pile so it's easy to keep an eye on them. Not sure if Ghouls regenerate, i don't have the monster manual up at the moment
Michael (Talwin): Since we are camping here, just want to keep an eye
Lisa (Indigo): no they don't
Michael (Talwin): Call me paranoid, I'm fine with it :)
Michael (Talwin): LOL. Then, I got my daily exercise in it would seem haha!
Raelynn: resumes checking the graves near her while they pile up ghouls.
Michael (Talwin): People looking at me like...what is Talwin doing with the Ghouls?
Lisa (Indigo): Indigo is suspicious about who made so many undead here but can't figure that out at the moment
Spring (Lanek Olenak): wtf IS Talwin doing with the ghouls?
Michael (Talwin): Thought Ghouls ate corpses, and fled from people, but hey this is D&D haha. I don't know what does what in the game lol
BOB Undead Fetish?
Michael (Talwin): I will pretend that conversation never happened
Michael (Talwin): Moving right along
BOB Jenn is there for you Talwin
Craigh: Question number one is: did we get lured into a trap, or was the old lady legit?
Spring (Lanek Olenak): don't undead happen when necromancers want to guard something important?
Michael (Talwin): Yeah, but Jenn didn't say it thank god
Michael (Talwin): otherwise it would be a weird interaction
Talwin: Craigh
Talwin: It' sus
Talwin: Who the hell knows
Talwin: hehe
Talwin: Get it?
Talwin: Hell
Talwin: Sorry
Talwin: Chargined
Raelynn: Well I haven't found Norene's grave yet... has anyone else?
Lanek Olenak: snorts
Talwin: Er, Right. I'll help look Rae, sorry.
Craigh: Nothing wrong with a little levity. Let me know when we find some.
Craigh: grins
Talwin: Proceeds to help examine the graves
Talwin: Smiles
Michael (Talwin): sorry
Talwin: Proceeds to help examine the graves
Michael (Talwin): I must narrate my actions!
TMO (Craigh): what for? all jokes are welcome here.
Michael (Talwin): No, I keep telling my actions as game speech. People are probably like.....is he talking to himself again?
Craigh: Craigh keeps an eye out on the night to make sure no one else tries to sneak up and eat them.
Youtargim : [Translation] We should burn the whole lot of them
<font color="#000000">We should burn the whole lot of them
[understood by: ]
Craigh: [TOWER] [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 19]
Michael (Talwin): Bob, Talwin is just moving in a circular pattern around the yard, trying to make out headstones
Michael (Talwin): Don't want to move my icon as it will clutter the screen
Michael (Talwin): for you
Raelynn: Um, what?
Youtargim: Ahh sorry
Carissa (Raelynn): (sorry noticed my keyboard is dirty and my brain has decided NOW is when I need to clean it)
Youtargim: Was muttering that we should burn everything
Raelynn: Oh, I think the guys were discussing that.
Lanek Olenak: helps look for grave
Raelynn: I'm still looking for Norlene.
Youtargim: Are you sure she is here?
Lanek Olenak: and we know for sure the stone is marked in our language?
Raelynn: Maybe Craigh is right and this is a trap?
Raelynn: OHHH! Should we ask the ghosts??
Lanek Olenak: cuz i aint got some of them other tongues
Youtargim: Craigh has been right many times
Craigh: One of my more sterling attributes.
Spring (Lanek Olenak): snort. ever since i noticed Craigh looks like Prince Harry, and I finished the audiobook of "Spare", whenever Craigh speaks i hear him in Prince Harry's voice and that's hilarious
TMO (Craigh): LOL!
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Lisa (Indigo): lol
TMO (Craigh): So who will be Craigh's Megan? ;)
Youtargim: Daph?
Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 1]
Carissa (Raelynn): (okay sorry, I think my brain is happier now and I can ignore my keyboard - stupid backlite)
Talwin: Talwin has circled the Graves. He has rolled Obs
Lanek Olenak: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 20]
Craigh: Wake up Lanek!
Lanek Olenak: wake up, yerself
Spring (Lanek Olenak): f-ing database! brb
User has gone AFK. (Spring)
Raelynn: Find it?
Indigo: Maybe you should see if you can ask her yourself Raelynn. You did it on the docks and almost got Jorlaine
Raelynn: I can do that. I think I lost the guys again anyways...
Raelynn: (so Lisa is here... did y'all disappear?)
BOB I am watching
Lisa (Indigo): in voice chat in Discord? so we ignore them and just keep mobving
BOB Yes to Lisa, grins
Michael (Talwin): I am sorry, I was asking about rules
TMO (Craigh): sorry, was working on character sheet, doing thief skills
Carissa (Raelynn): lol as long as Bob is here to check my rolls that's all that matters
Michael (Talwin): I was distractingthem. My bad
Raelynn: makes herself comfortable, gets out her candles again, still fluffs her hair to look nice.
Raelynn: Let's see who is here and what they know...
Michael (Talwin): fluffs hair?
Raelynn: [SKILL] Spirit Lore [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]
Carissa (Raelynn): ...ouch...
Lisa (Indigo): ouch
Raelynn: [SKILL] Astrology [2] [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 13]
Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 17) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 4]
Raelynn: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 17) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 8]
Carissa (Raelynn): (Not sure that will help any of it if it was a 20 but....)
Lisa (Indigo): don't think you can modify yourself out of a 20
Carissa (Raelynn): (lol I don't think so either, but maybe I'll be surprised!)
Carissa (Raelynn): wait maybe Bob is distracted let me try again...
Raelynn: [SKILL] Spirit Lore [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL
BOB yeah that is not going to help
Indigo: Maybe there's too many spirits to get one to pull through
Raelynn: Or maybe I needed different candles....
Raelynn: watches them flicker and die
Indigo: It's okay
Raelynn: Darn.
Talwin: Slightly dissapointed
TMO (Craigh): Raelynn is now possessed
BOB I gave you candles
Talwin: No worries Rae, you got it next time
Talwin: Smiles
Raelynn: I was hoping to meet someone else like Lilly. I could try in the morning, but not sure it'll help...
Carissa (Raelynn): Who gave me candles?
BOB I sent them to you Carissa
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL
Carissa (Raelynn): only one candle but yes should have used that
Craigh: Maybe the ghouls scared the spirits off?
Raelynn: Do ghouls eat spirits?
Indigo: Don't think so.
Indigo: Guess we just need to make it through the night. What's left of it anyway
Raelynn: Well, do we just assume Norlene is real and take watches then for the rest of the night?
Talwin: I'll take first watch if it helps?
Talwin: You guys must be exhaused
Raelynn: Oh, I'm fine. I haven't used any spells yet today.
Michael (Talwin): (Nothing came from Obs, so think Talwin didn't see anything)
Michael (Talwin): (OH my bad. Thought your Seance was using a spell. Sigh)
Carissa (Raelynn): (lol you're fine, figured you assumed I did last week)
Lisa (Indigo): she cast rainbow at least
Carissa (Raelynn): (and the others did fight so maybe they are exhausted :) )
Carissa (Raelynn): Yeah! Free spell daily use!
Lisa (Indigo): ahh
Carissa (Raelynn): new with this priest level
Carissa (Raelynn): Rainbows EVERYWHERE
Lisa (Indigo): lol
TMO (Craigh): lol
Carissa (Raelynn): (she also has a hamster ball wheel she can cast instead of rainbow but it sounds less fun)
Lisa (Indigo): are at 2 watches left by this point?
Carissa (Raelynn): yeah good question what time is it?
BOB Just after Midnight
Carissa (Raelynn): (okay maybe Rae will sleep then)
Carissa (Raelynn): (get her full 8 hours)
Carissa (Raelynn): (if we have enough people just out of habit - no one hurt right?)
Carissa (Raelynn): (oh wait she cast the fear spell so yes she did use one spell)
Lisa (Indigo): so Craigh, Talwin and Indigo can stay up?
Talwin: Happy to :)
TMO (Craigh): yes
Carissa (Raelynn): and Lanek when he returns)
Lisa (Indigo): yes
Carissa (Raelynn): (Yout if you need another)
Lisa (Indigo): we'll kick him if we need him :)
BOB LOL
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Lisa (Indigo): same for Howard
Carissa (Raelynn): he might be trying to snuggle with Rae so it'll be at -4 unless you want to wake her too
BOB grins
Carissa (Raelynn): (well I meant Yout but who knows, maybe both of them)
Lisa (Indigo): lol
Indigo: So I think this is Red Cloak
Indigo: Just outside of Loosend before the Mist starts?
Indigo: We saw him blose by here when we came this way to start
Lisa (Indigo): close
Craigh: Who is Red Cloak?
Indigo: Oh he's a necromancer
Talwin: Shudders
Indigo: He'd be at Skull Church if he could I think
Talwin: Ask Jenn
Indigo: I wish someone would show up and check on the ghouls or we'll never know
Talwin: What exactly do you want me to look for? I'm happy to do so
Talwin: Confused
Talwin: But wanting to be helpful
Indigo: Some crazy magic user in a cloak?
Talwin: With the...ghouls?
Indigo: They made them. Well one of them at least.
Talwin: Begins looking for a red cloak mark on the Ghoul Bodies
Talwin: Begins looking for a red cloak mark on the Ghoul Bodies
Indigo: One ghoul could have made more
Talwin: Signs that Red Cloak maybe influenced the creation of these ghouls
Talwin: Signs that Red Cloak maybe influenced the creation of these ghouls
Talwin: Searching the bodies
Michael (Talwin): (rolling obs, one sec)
Talwin: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 10]
BOB Talwin can see that there are not any signs for people controlling the ghouls but can see that there are no signs of more of them out there
TMO (Craigh): I think I have Fives up-to-date now
BOB Excellent
Lisa (Indigo): good
TMO (Craigh): couldn't create him until I actually gave the module to Bob to load. ;)
Talwin: Hm.Looks like there are no controllers, but I don't think there are any more
Indigo: That is a good thing then
Indigo: You happy we're almost home?
Talwin: Hm
Talwin: An interesting question
Talwin: I am glad that we have had such an adventure
Talwin: Smiles to himself
Talwin: And that my sword has...found peace
Indigo: We've been gone a long time now
Talwin: I still am not used to such quiet
Talwin: Nods
Indigo: That is a very good thing
Talwin: You are correct
Talwin: I just
Talwin: It's kind of odd for me? You know
Talwin: Strugles to find words
Talwin: Shakes his hands in frsutration
Talwin: When something is a part of you for so long
Talwin: you....
Craigh: Not hearing voices in your head is usually a Good Thing
BOB and this is why Lemon should not miss a night. :)
Talwin: When it's not there the absense is striking
Talwin: I guess I should say
Talwin: But yes
Talwin: I am excited to be heading home
Indigo: Yeah. I get it. But you will find other people to talk to
Talwin: Smiles mischeviously
Talwin: I plan on growing the protectorate
Talwin: And....
Talwin: well
Indigo: More mining?
Talwin: Shakes head
Talwin: No, I'm afraid
Talwin: That one day we'll run out
Talwin: We need to find other ways to generate revenue...just to be safe
Talwin: I would
Talwin: Well...if Branwny is fine
Talwin: I think with her caliber, people would be interested in a mage university of sorts
Talwin: With a public library
Talwin: Wherem aybe she doesn't teach herself
Talwin: But is a patron of the arts
Talwin: Smiles
Talwin: But
Talwin: That's in the future
BOB How does Howard feel about that?
Lisa (Indigo): he's sleeping
BOB LOL
Michael (Talwin): lol
Talwin: I also want to do some investing outside of the protectorate...for safety
Talwin: Stammers
Talwin: for the group!
Talwin: Not just me
Lisa (Indigo): my guess is that it would be insanely expensive
Michael (Talwin): (Oh hell yes, but long term investment)
BOB She has a very high level library already
BOB But hiring teachers
BOB or having Johan and Howard as the faculty
Michael (Talwin): (For the people) (For a fee...of course, I AM a capitalist in all but healthcare after all....
BOB :)
Talwin: Shrugs
Talwin: Anything is possible
BOB and Criagh as the provost
Talwin: A growing medical, a university, the protectorate will attract talent, money, and we can use the Mining as funds to seed the enterprises
TMO (Craigh): I was thinking he'd be the Filch
Talwin: Gets visably more excited
Talwin: Sorry
Lisa (Indigo): lol TMO
Talwin: Just so many plans, and we haven't even been to hell yet
Talwin: Shrugs
Talwin: We may not even be alive, so for now, the money i'm holding out of the protectorate for investments into business will have to do
Lisa (Indigo): have you read Bob's post on the site?
BOB Just think how many more ideas Talwin can get in Hell
Michael (Talwin): (at me lisa?)
Lisa (Indigo): yes
Michael (Talwin): (sigh. I'm sorry. I'll go back and read)
Michael (Talwin): (oh, duh. I'm sorry)
Lisa (Indigo): don't have to this second. It's a long post about options after this arc
Craigh: So is there anything else we can be doing?
Michael (Talwin): (right)
BOB Anything else about this graveyard tonight?
Michael (Talwin): (sorry) :)
Lisa (Indigo): not unless anything else attacks us
BOB Or click to morning
Talwin: So...bedtime except watches? :)
BOB Only one watch
Craigh: if we can't find the name, and we aren't attacked, and the seance has failed, not sure if there's anything else we can do
BOB have already gone through two
TMO (Craigh): if we can't find the name, and we aren't attacked, and the seance has failed, not sure if there's anything else we can do
Lisa (Indigo): just need to get through the night and burn the ghouls
Lisa (Indigo): clicking is fine with me
Carissa (Raelynn): same
The date is Trall____, 1st Ohm (Early Winter), 358 SKR
Young Moon's phase is Full Moon
Old Moon's phase is Full Moon
The time is 7:51 AM
Carissa (Raelynn): MORNING SEANCE
BOB It is morning
BOB no one gets spells
BOB as no one slept long enough
Carissa (Raelynn): boo
BOB but you can do another seance if you wish
Carissa (Raelynn): yay!
Michael (Talwin): Or you can castNap
TMO (Craigh): golly, whatever shall I do? :P
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Michael (Talwin): Restore your stuff
Carissa (Raelynn): she only used the one slot, she's fine
Raelynn: Ok! I've gotten some beauty rest. Who wants to try talking to ghosts again to figure out what's going on?
Craigh: Oh please, lets!
Indigo: Sure
Raelynn: I like your enthusiasm Craigh!
Indigo: grabs an apple out of his pack and sits down to eat it
Raelynn: gets out candles again, fluffs AND puffs hair, sits and looks pretty.
Craigh: Oh. I thught that was sarcasm. But, sure, why not?
Craigh: sits down.
Talwin: I uh, don't have much experience in this area, but I can uh, search the Graves again in the Daylight?
Youtargim: I am certain that Rae can do better
Talwin: Shrugs
Raelynn: [SKILL] Spirit Lore [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 6]
Raelynn: [SKILL] Artistic Ability [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 13]
Raelynn: [SKILL] Etiquette [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 17) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 14]
Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 17) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 4]
Raelynn: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 17) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 19]
Talwin: See!
Raelynn: still has bedhead.
Talwin: Ray you seem to be doing much better this morning!
Raelynn: should have only fluffed not puffed.
Michael (Talwin): Sigh. Sorry.
Talwin: Rae
Michael (Talwin): not Ray
Raelynn: smiles
Raelynn: It's okay. She likes being a ray of sunshine. Or something.
Selena Larmalart: Hello, who are you
Talwin: Jumps!
Talwin: Keeps quiet
Craigh: mutters, oh boy, here we go again.
Raelynn: Hello! I'm Raelynn. I was told to watch the grave of a little Norene (Norlene?) but I never found her grave. We've noticed some empty ones and wanted to see what was going on here. Who are you?
Talwin: Side-eyes Craigh
Selena Larmalart: I am Selena Larmalart, I was the best milker in the Kingdom, even the Prince said so
BOB NOW Carissa can roll to see how many questions she gets
Raelynn: [d3 = 2]
BOB So you have your first question, now you get one more
Carissa (Raelynn): hmmm....
Michael (Talwin): the more specific the better
Carissa (Raelynn): (ask about Norlene or ask about general nefarious activity in this graveyard...any preference?)
Michael (Talwin): but you know this stuff better then me :)
Carissa (Raelynn): (lol still learning and happy for any advice)
Lisa (Indigo): either is fine
Michael (Talwin): I could type out a very legal question that she won't be able to wiggle out of if you want?
Lisa (Indigo): if you ask for norlene and she says never heard of her that's it
Michael (Talwin): But it will take a moment to type
Lisa (Indigo): might get more from the ghoul question
Raelynn: Do you know of any recent nefarious activity happening in this graveyard such as an evil mage digging up bodies or preventing spirits from getting rest? I wish I could ask you more about your Prince, but we only have so long to talk.
Carissa (Raelynn): (we'll need a good legal question for when we hopefully successfully seance the time mage)
Carissa (Raelynn): (this is more fun seance - that one will be work seance, lol)
Michael (Talwin): (Hey, I can get it ready ahead of time. It will be the size of a "Terms of Use" agreement that no one reads, but I can do it for you :) )
Selena Larmalart: The Dead never truely rest if they are still here, they only rest when they go home
Indigo: Gee I'da just asked where all the ghouls came from
BOB and she fades away from your senses
Michael (Talwin): So she's at home?
Carissa (Raelynn): (feel free! I can post on Discord after with input from Lisa also welcome - Rae will only be the talking piece when we do that)
Raelynn: Oh. Maybe I should have.... oh well.
Talwin: So...does this mean her spirit is at her home?
Talwin: Where she can truly rest?
Raelynn: shrugs
BOB If she is here to talk to then no
Talwin: Shrugs back
Talwin: Smiles
Raelynn: smiles back
Raelynn: blows out her candles, says some rites, and stands up.
Raelynn: Well that was fun either way.
Talwin: It was....adreneline inducing
Talwin: Shudders
Raelynn: If the woman comes back, we can ask her questions but others I don't know if we have reason to stay.
Indigo: I'll get the wagon ready
BOB If there is still a connection to the Prime then they are not truely free but many (as evidence by the spells) still stick around because they are watching/caring about those still here
Raelynn: It's a new way to make more friends! I love making friends.
Indigo: goes to feed and water the horses for the trip
Craigh: Sorry, they give me the heeby-jeebies. Happy to help out with the seances, but .. *shudder*
Talwin: Frowns, thinking over the words
BOB and Rae does have the realization that this is something that The Mist prevents, it blocks those from communicating.... or being released
Talwin: It was like a riddle darn it
Raelynn: Maybe we need to do more to get you used to it? Although it is harder to do in the Mist.
Talwin: Pauses
Talwin: Wait
Talwin: You said the Mist
TMO (Craigh): Exposure therapy to ghosts?
Talwin: ....
Talwin: Do you think
Raelynn: Yes?
Talwin: The Mist is blocking somehow?
Talwin: Or influencing?
Raelynn: Oh, yes. It blocks many things. Branwyn has said that before. But it must block more than spells. Maybe influence from other planes? Or traps them on this plane?
Talwin: oh gods
Raelynn: shivers
Talwin: thinks through being trapped in the Mist forever after death
Raelynn: If I die there, take me out back into the sunshine.
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: I promise
Talwin: if you do the same
Raelynn: Absolutely!
Raelynn: BUT
Craigh: You're implying all the dead aren't going to the afterlife because they're trapped by the Mist?
Talwin: Nods slowly
Raelynn: If you linger, you have to talk to me at least once before you move on.
Talwin: Not necessarily all of them
Talwin: but
Talwin: What if it is Craigh?
Talwin: Would we know?
Talwin: Can we ask a priest?
Talwin: nods at Rae
Raelynn: Hmm...
Talwin: As long as you repeat the favor
Talwin: Chuckles
Craigh: I'd hope some of the priests know. That's sort of exactly what they're for.
BOB Jennevive is the Royal Priestess
Raelynn: Well we can't talk to the dead that do not have bodies but it allows the dead with bodies to survive....
Indigo: I don't think so. I thought Shi said she was heading to Avarainth when Branwyn had Jenn bring her back
Carissa (Raelynn): (LOL yes talk to her!)
Raelynn: Oh! That's true. Maybe we won't be trapped?
Raelynn: Not that I plan to die anytime soon to find out.
Indigo: Yeah. Let's not do that!
Indigo: laughs
Raelynn: Good! Problem solved for now!
Indigo: Yup!
Indigo: Everyone ready to go?
Talwin: Nods
Raelynn: I suppose. I hope I can sleep better tonight.
Talwin: I've had enough existential crisis for one day
BOB and very good roleplay for both parts
Raelynn: Let's hope it's a short day, then.
Indigo: We're going in the Mist today
Indigo: Speaking of Mist
BOB Yes Lisa has it right
Raelynn: Oh and I was having such a good morning....
Indigo: Sorry
Indigo: Want an apple?
Raelynn: It's okay. I knew we'd return eventually.
Raelynn: Yes, please!
Indigo: digs around in his pack
Indigo: Here you go!
Raelynn: takes apple happily
Raelynn: Thank you!
Indigo: Think Bixi's too tired to make breakfast. But I have stuff in my pack
Raelynn: At least it isn't fish.
Indigo: No more fish!
BOB Hell for Indigo is fish for breakfast lunch and dinner
BOB Along with vegetables for every meal
Lisa (Indigo): LOL
Carissa (Raelynn): salads for all!
BOB and Raelynn's Hell is the Carnivore Buffet
Carissa (Raelynn): (Carissa's hell as well)
BOB anything else before heading out on the road
Lisa (Indigo): not for me
TMO (Craigh): nothing for me
BOB OK
'Shislif' connected
BOB so it is morning and you are about to move along the road
Michael (Talwin): (Talwin is wondering if his soul is 'mist locked' and trying not to hyperventiliate)
Michael (Talwin): :)
BOB Welcome Sharif
TMO (Craigh): you meet a scarecrow, a tin man, a lion, and a dog, looking for a little girl
BOB and yes to Michael
BOB it is a good thought to have
Michael (Talwin): Hi Sharif!
Carissa (Raelynn): (good is probably not the word to use there)
Lisa (Indigo): Hi Sharif :)
Carissa (Raelynn): (Hi Sharif! We all definitely would love to eat fish for every meal ever. Yep)
Lisa (Indigo): lol
BOB chuckles
Sharif: lol hi everybody :)
Sharif: Pescatarians unite!
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB I deleted all the ghouls and badgers from the CT
BOB to make it a bit easier
BOB adding Zayden now to the CT to see what happens with his INT
Zayden: Advanced Effect ['Punching;BSTR: 0;'] -> [to Zayden] [by Punching]
BOB Party Sheet -> drag Zayden to teh CT
BOB and he appears with a zero INT
BOB now Sharif you can roll your own Int
Zayden: int or init?
BOB INit
Zayden: [INIT] [d10 = 2]
Michael (Talwin): (I honestly though bob meant Intelligence and was like, Zayden rolls 0 Intelligence, and became concerned)
BOB so we have a bit of information if it shows Zero like Lanek does right now
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Shislif (Zayden): he has a different kind of intelligence :)
BOB Yes I am trying to be clear INT is Intelligence, and INIT is Intiative
Michael (Talwin): :) I love him, he's good haha
BOB and I am not being clear when I type that
Zayden: lol no worries that's why I checked :)
BOB so Zayden just changed from zero to 2
Zayden: oh dang I wanted a high number this time?
BOB Michael you see that Talwin is at what?
BOB No to Sharif low is good
Shislif (Zayden): oh ok cool then :)
Michael (Talwin): Talwin is number 2 on the tracker
Shislif (Zayden): oh OOC
BOB BUT it also varies based on what you want to do
Michael (Talwin): After Indigo
BOB no Michael there is an Int number next to him
BOB Indigo is -9
BOB Zayden is 2
Michael (Talwin): INIT?
BOB What do you see?
BOB Before rolling
Michael (Talwin): I see nothing
Spring (Lanek Olenak): okay i;m not gonna make it back tonight, sorry
BOB On the die there?
'Spring' disconnected
BOB HUGS to Spring
BOB good night
Michael (Talwin): Night Spring! :)
Michael (Talwin): One sec bob.Snipping
Carissa (Raelynn): night spring!
BOB Lisa? Carissa? what do you see for Talwin right now?
TMO (Craigh): take care!
BOB Thank you for that Michael
BOB I see that
BOB in Discord
Michael (Talwin): Yep
BOB So the Blank means you have not rolled Int yet
Shislif (Zayden): Night spring!
Michael (Talwin): Gotcha. So roll?
BOB Yes please
Talwin: [INIT] [d10+10 = 19]
Michael (Talwin): :)
BOB Good
BOB Lisa can you please roll for Indigo again?
Indigo: [INIT] [d10-10 = -5]
BOB Good
Indigo: that doesn't make sense
BOB so Medium creatures are at 1d10 +10 right now and Small are at 1d10 -10
Indigo: shouldn't the little people just be a d10 and the humans be a d10+10?
BOB I think it should be small at -10 and medium at no modifier
Indigo: he never used to always roll in the negatives
BOB so medium creatures roll at 1d10
BOB small roll at 1d10 - 10 and large roll at 1d10 =10
BOB etc
BOB +10
BOB Indigo also has good Dex bonuses which reduces his Init
Indigo: since when is Talwin a large creature compared to zayden at medium?
BOB That is the problem Lisa
Indigo: they are both human
BOB Why I wanted to do this
BOB we have inconsistantcies
BOB spelling
BOB I cleared Lanek for anyone to roll for him
Indigo: elves are d10 only and humans d10+10?
BOB same with Licornah
BOB Small creatures should be 1d10 - 10 Medium should be 1d10 large should be 1d10 +10
Raelynn: Yeah we fixed this in the past with littles as d10 and others as d10+10 (minus dex)
Lanek Olenak: [INIT] [d10 = 1]
BOB as of right now
Raelynn: [INIT] [d10+10 = 14]
BOB Yes to Carissa, but things updated and we changed based on dice rolls and auto Init
BOB Which is why we are checking now
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Carissa (Raelynn): did we? my characters are still d10+10 so not sure why that would change
BOB so I am going to go into options and see what the setting is
Michael (Talwin): Talwin is a large creature because he is a tank class :)
Carissa (Raelynn): newer characters may not be right tho
TMO (Craigh): I shamed Michael into updating his Portrait ;)
Michael (Talwin): lol
Carissa (Raelynn): (good)
Michael (Talwin): again lol
Indigo: Fives is Craigh's twin brother now
TMO (Craigh): clicked by accident
Howard Plum: [INIT] [d10+10 = 18]
TMO (Craigh): Craigh is Init +10 and Fives is +0. Probably something wrong with the Devilkin race description
Branwyn: [INIT] [d10+8 = 17]
N'laea: [INIT] [d10+10 = 13]
Lisa: not sure why Bran is +8 only
BOB posted all four pages of Options that we have in the Discord
Carissa (N'laea): (okay hers is off.... not counting DEX)
BOB Dex matters
Carissa (N'laea): yes think it should be +8 or someinth
Carissa (N'laea): I know her DEX is defintely high enough to matter
Branwyn: Bran's is 16
Carissa (N'laea): Nae is 17 if the one point matters
Lisa: so is Bran is right at 8 then N'laea's should be too
Carissa (N'laea): So Bran at least looks right to me based on the past
Carissa (N'laea): yes think so
TMO (Craigh): Craigh is 15 and Fives is 17
Carissa (N'laea): she has reaction adjustment correct... just not accounting it into init
BOB So we have (going from the bottom up on that list of all the options) NPC Initiative, size speed adjustments is ON, CT Auto Roll Init each round is OFF Token Init Indicator is style 1, Auto NPC Init is On, AUto PC versus NPC Init is ON,
BOB restroom brb
Shislif (Zayden): I don't know what's happening, but that's ok :)
N'laea: [INIT] [d10+8 = 16]
Lisa: think our Initiative rolls got screwed up and bob's trying to fix
Carissa (N'laea): (yes and whatever he said is going over my head, lol)
Carissa (N'laea): (but figured out how to fix Nae)
Craigh: [INIT] [d10+10 = 12]
Carissa (N'laea): (Fives needs the fire dice)
Lisa: what is Zayden's DEX?
TMO (Craigh): I haven't customized Fives' dice yet, but that's a good suggestion
Shislif (Zayden): 12
Carissa (N'laea): so no adjustment
Lisa: so your init should probably be +10
Carissa (N'laea): (Rae has same DEX and is at 10)
Lisa: his is just a d10 now
Craigh: I can modify it for each character, but no idea where the defaults are sett
TMO (Craigh): I can modify it for each character, but no idea where the defaults are sett
Carissa (N'laea): (menu?)
BOB Smiles with Sharif this is the Math portion of the night workign on game mechanics so we know everyone understands what the program is doing before the next story arc of everyone going to Hell and I want everyone to feel good they can just react
Lanek Olenak: Lanek has 17 DEX too
TMO (Craigh): no the front page of your character sheet, click the gear for the Combat section, and Init Modifier is near the bottom
Carissa (N'laea): (oh I thought you meant dice, sorry getting tireD)
Fives: [INIT] [d10 = 9]
BOB Yes for TMO (and others) the default on the character sheet should be 1d10 for Init
BOB Like Fives just rolled
TMO (Craigh): not 1d10+10?
BOB then we go in and modify the Smaller and the Largers
BOB to be quicker or slower
BOB Correct to TMO, a simple 1d10 with only the Dex modifier
TMO (Craigh): ok, I've changed Craigh to 1d10+0
BOB also Sharif you can experiment with changing the dice for various things
BOB so that different colors and effects happen
Raelynn: Raelynn tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)
BOB just as anyone can
Raelynn: Raelynn tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)
Raelynn: Raelynn forced re-roll of initiative.
Shislif (Zayden): cool
Raelynn: [INIT] [d10 = 9]
BOB Hold Alt while rolling
BOB and there you go Rae
Zayden: [d10 = 1]
N'laea: [INIT] [d10-2 = 2]
Fives: [INIT] [d10 = 4]
BOB Exactly for those last two rolls
BOB Fives not so much
TMO (Craigh): it isn't using his Dex modifier
Shislif (Zayden): what does holding alt do?
BOB But I am not sure what type of dice you are using
BOB Alt means you re-roll your Init once you have already done it
BOB Lisa? can you reroll Indigo please?
Shislif (Zayden): oh cool
BOB Hold the Alt key down as rolling
Shislif (Zayden): nice I did even better!
Indigo: Indigo tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)
Indigo: Indigo forced re-roll of initiative.
Indigo: [INIT] [d10-10 = -4]
Fives: [INIT] [d10 = 8]
BOB Nice for both of those
Fives: [INIT] [d10-2 = 6]
BOB Now I am adding NPCs to the Combat Tracker to test things
TMO (Craigh): I manually added the -2 to Fives' init roll for having a 17 dex
BOB You see that? for the Stalactite at a 6 and the Ankheg at a 10?
Indigo: so Bran with her 16 dex should be a d10-2 and not a d10+8?
Indigo: I'm confused
TMO (Craigh): yes. should L critters be slower?
BOB Yes to Lisa
BOB Human should be 1d10 minus Dex bonus
BOB so 1d10-2
TMO (Craigh): - your Reaction Adj
BOB Yes to TMO
Branwyn: [INIT] [d10-2 = 8]
TMO (Craigh): s if you have a low dex and have a -2 Reaction, that would be 1d10+2 for Init rolls
BOB Small is -10 Medium is no modifier Large is +10 Huge is +20 Giant is +30
TMO (Craigh): making you slower
TMO (Craigh): I'm guessing the Ankheg should be Large?
BOB That looks right for Branwyn now Lisa
BOB yes to TMO which means it is wrong
BOB is why we are testing it
TMO (Craigh): So Indigo should be 1d10-10-(Reaction Adj)
Branwyn: so howard with 10 dex is just a straight d10 or d10 +something?
BOB straight 1d10
BOB for Howard
TMO (Craigh): Howard with 10 dex is 1d10+0
Howard Plum: Howard Plum tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)
Howard Plum: [ATTACK][BASIC] [THACO(18)] [AC: 8 ] [d20 = 10]
BOB So Bixi, Daph, Indigo are the Small characters and need the adjustments
Howard Plum: Howard Plum forced re-roll of initiative.
Howard Plum: [INIT] [d10 = 3]
BOB the rest should have no adjustment
BOB and all the Large and above NPCs need adjustments
TMO (Craigh): nowhere on the character sheets do I see a Size, so the system may not be taking that into account at all Bob
BOB It is supposed to
BOB that is what we need to track down
Shislif (Zayden): so the rest of us are medium?
BOB On the Ankheg is Size H
TMO (Craigh): everyone but theh gnomes and halflings
TMO (Craigh): they should all be like Indigo
BOB On the Stalactite is size M
BOB So for the size field for Zayden should be M
Shislif (Zayden): where's the size field?
BOB The Notes tab
BOB just a simple capital M
Zayden: no it's all empty
Shislif (Zayden): OOC
Shislif (Zayden): except for the Notes section that says "Potential skills to learn:"
BOB and for Indigo is is 2.5
Shislif (Zayden): then it has some skills
BOB and for Daph is is S (3')
Shislif (Zayden): Ohhh disguise that could be fun
Fives: [INIT] [d10 = 6]
BOB and Bixi has Small
Indigo: oh carissa don't forget to change your armor now we're not on the ship
TMO (Fives): I changed Fives to size S, and it didn't update his init
Indigo: I jus remembered for Indigo
BOB It would not TMO
Fives: [INIT] [d10 = 1]
BOB That is a Our Game modifier
BOB BUT it might/should adjust the token size when dragged to a map
TMO (Fives): Indigo is only 2 and a half feet tall?
Indigo: no
TMO (Fives): I thought Halflings were bigger than gnomes
Indigo: he is tall for a halfling
BOB so Carissa, are you here and semi coherent ? can you help Sharif understand how to post to the stories on the site?
BOB you can do that in whispers here
BOB or in Discord
Carissa: nope was just about to say falling asleep and going to go to bed
BOB Ok
Carissa: wait
BOB Sweet Dreams
Shislif (Zayden): lol no worries
Carissa: okay I can type that up real quick in discord before bed
Carissa: but will log off here
BOB Thanks,
Carissa: night all!
Shislif (Zayden): i'm only about two thirds coherent anyway
BOB I want him to know how to contribute there
Shislif (Zayden): night!
'Carissa' disconnected
BOB LOL with both of you
Shislif (Zayden): yea I get a lil lost on the site tbh
Lisa: are we done for the night?
TMO (Fives): g'nite Carissa!
BOB So I think we have determined that the Size field has to be one letter T S M L etc
Michael (Talwin): Night all. Have a lovely evening :)
'Michael' disconnected
TMO (Fives): you can put yuor height in the Height field two to the left of Size
BOB and for our own game we need to add to each Character and NPC the -10 for small or the +10 for large and more for bigger creatures
Shislif (Zayden): night all, we wrapping up?
BOB So when I create Encounters (a specific term in FG) I need to modify the character sheets for those creatures/characters to match what the Player Characters have
BOB Sharif, work with Carissa
BOB on Discord please
BOB so you can see what we mean with the conversation threads
BOB and remember no game next week
Indigo: Have a nice spring break!
BOB So TMO and Lisa what I said makes sense?
Lisa: yes
Shislif (Zayden): sounds good have a great week!
BOB and the other Init actions?
Fives: sounds like it
Lisa: think so
'Shislif' disconnected
BOB So we have (going from the bottom up on that list of all the options) NPC Initiative, size speed adjustments is ON, CT Auto Roll Init each round is OFF Token Init Indicator is style 1, Auto NPC Init is On, AUto PC versus NPC Init is ON,
Fives: unless you can find a global setting somewhere for Size
BOB Do either of you want to continue testing? or wait till later and do it then?
TMO: I'm looking at the standard races, and Size isn't mentioned on any of them
BOB right now when I add an NPC to the CT it rolls Init for them
BOB which is a d10
BOB No modifiers
Lisa: I would like to break unless you really need me
BOB Go Lisa
BOB Thank you
Lisa: thank you
Lisa: Goodnight all! :)
'Lisa' disconnected
BOB so TMO one last thing then you can go too
BOB I will drag Fives to the CT to see what the Init roll is
BOB and it is Zero/Null
BOB you see that?
TMO: hold on, let me get back to his sheet
BOB No worries
BOB and the Aarakocra enters the CT with a 1d10 no modifiers
Fives: he should have a -2
BOB Correct to TMO but right now because he is a PC he has no Init when I drag him to the CT
BOB it shows a Zero
BOB until you roll his Init
Fives: [INIT] [d10-2 = 0]
BOB Excellent
Fives: Fives forced re-roll of initiative.
Fives: [INIT] [d10-2 = 0]
Fives: Fives forced re-roll of initiative.
Fives: [INIT] [d10-2 = 5]
Fives: so the CT is showing the *final result*, not the modifier
BOB QUOTE
Fives: if you haven't rolled, you have a 0 (and may have a 0 after you rolled)
BOB The Init is working correctly: PCs added to the CT have a null value until they roll, then they get the modifiers on their sheet. NPCs added to the CT get a generic 1d10 until BOB changes their Init on the sheet or in the CT to modify based on size
Fives: that means you have to manually touch every monster record?
BOB Every one that is not a Medium creature... yeap
BOB \That is on me
Fives: eww
BOB As long as we know what is happening and WHY that is what is important
Fives: monsters do have a Size field though
Fives: it doesn't help?
BOB Not yet
BOB BUT the size field will help with Token sizes on the maps
BOB and as we start to use more functions there, plus the new Hieght things
Fives: put Fives on the graveyard map
BOB There he is next to Daph
Fives: changing his size to S didn't change his token
BOB Nods
BOB There is more to that I think
BOB still working through the automatic versus the DM change things
BOB At least we have everyone on the same page for Init now
BOB and can update the sheets during the week
BOB I will release them all so anyone can check
Fives: sounds good. Fives is ready for XP whenever you are
BOB Have a great night
TMO: you too!
'TMO' disconnected
BOB I will work on that during the week hiatus
