'LorieD' connected

GM: Hello there

LorieD: Hey there - How are things?

GM: Life is good

GM: relaxed and comfortable

GM: was off Thursday and Today

GM: and now the weekend is here

LorieD: Sorry for the reason but glad you're on the other side

GM: 4 days off with 1 vacation day

LorieD: That is a gift

GM: Yeah, the stuff downtown was a mess

GM: some things still bad in areas, mostly cars left on the side of the road etc.

LorieD: I can't even image... the videos they showed here were not great. I had been in my audit all day and saw it on the way home

GM: Had to stop by and get the work laptop

LorieD: Sorry I didn't see earlier

GM: Nothing you can do from there, grins

GM: Passed over a dozen cars still abandoned

LorieD: I know... and since you move all around, wasn't sure where you were

LorieD: :: sigh :: I can't even imagine that recovery, just like when there is a "hurricane" or "TS"

GM: on 9th street downtown was one that obviously had a head on collision, it was just abandoned in the middle of the road

LorieD: :: sigh :: Hopefully the Turtles were safe :)

GM: In some ways worse than a hurricane, because no warning

LorieD: Good point

GM: But overall was good practice

GM: How are things up there?

GM: Anything more from the event last week?

LorieD: The weather has been gorgeous this week, there are rumors of snow though next week...Hometown is under fire -- commissioners went to a fancy resort for a meeting and won't disclose details... and total amount spent.

LorieD: Audit is almost done

GM: Good, eh, sorry, that sucks, and glad

LorieD: :: laughs ::

GM: Quote for Carissa

LorieD: Kids and Paul are all good

GM: Glad

GM: If you have any thoughts on how to tackle the Book Return I am certain that everyone else will appreciate them

GM: The choices of summon them to you or you go to them

GM: How to deal with either

GM: and also what level of charm does Licornah have? to help guard/guide some of the party members

LorieD: I think we should find a safe "spot" and ward it up... pull the library to us and make contact.

Licornah: I have up to 4th level charm

Licornah: I think taking the entire group to that dimension is probably not our best move.

Licornah: :: shrug :: but what do I know

GM: Just thinking of the key problem that Lisa has is the variable length of time gone if you visit the Planes of Hell

GM: There are no perfect solutions, only less bad ones

Licornah: 6 years gutted her character (rightfully so) -- the trip that we'd need to make given we can't confirm which ring we'd land it .. could make it worse

Licornah: Agree... game of lesser of all evils

Licornah: As this is Lisa's quest, I defer to what she ultimately decides

GM: Carissa is an hour out she says

Licornah: If it were me though, I'd be bringing things to me -- the devil I know versus the ones I don't

GM: Nods

'MadamePsychosis' connected

GM: And welcome Lisa

Licornah: I can control my dimension (plane)

Licornah: Evening Lisa - hope you had a good week

MadamePsychosis: Hi Lorie! Mine was full of work. Hope your week was better :)

GM: Grins

MadamePsychosis: Are you drying out at all Bob?

GM: Yeah, up in the chat earlier I described what some of downtown looked like today

GM: It is still a mess in parts

GM: abandoned cars scattered about

GM: But at the house we had little to no effect

Licornah: This was the last of my "hell weeks" at work for a while - thanks :)

MadamePsychosis: good

MadamePsychosis: for both of you!

GM: She made me take down one of the wind chimes because she was afraid it would blow away.

Licornah: BOB, we could go find a Time Dragon -- you know... Dragonlance and all, we'd control time then if we could befriend...since they are neutral :)

GM: grins, I am up for creating an adventure for that

GM: Branwyn is one of the few Dream Mages out there right now

Licornah: Just pondering options to make this more interesting :: laughs ::

MadamePsychosis: that and the vampire mage ...

GM: And you have that Time Mage that one of Spring's characters killed which created the Inn of the Lost Eagle in Hourglass

GM: There is that too, Branwyn could look for help from the Vampire Lords

GM: Grins, just think how much fun you could have!

Licornah: If we could shift planes... I could call some friends :: laughs ::

GM: Only outside of The Mist

GM: Lisa, Carissa said she will be in about 8, so another hour

GM: No Spring tonight

GM: And yes to open to lots of ideas on how to proceed with Book Return

GM: You can add on what ever side trek you think you need to find help/materials/resources

GM: After tonight everything is focused on Book Return in one way or another

GM: I do have to point out that one way of completing the story arc is to just ..... not return the book. You could keep it in The Mist as long as you want, just will not solve Branwyn's problem of attracting return notices.

GM: Refilling wine as you reject that

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: back

GM: Also have proved that I solved the issues of last session. Zero lag so far tonight

MadamePsychosis: good

GM: Any ideas on useful side trek ideas Lisa?

MadamePsychosis: not really

GM: I do think that good reactions will be most important, knowing what everyone can do to assist, especially the Priests and Mages

GM: If there is a spell that someone things will be useful to learn for a mage, or from a Priest to find one in the Estate that can cast it

GM: or the Kingdom overall

GM: Grins, hire your own set of adventurers to go deal with problems

GM: I will pay you 5,000 GP and give you this magical ring if you bring me back the return slip from the library of hell

MadamePsychosis: lol

MadamePsychosis: the thing is that I don't know what to expect

MadamePsychosis: usually we are going somewhere to take something or someone

MadamePsychosis: this we are just giving something that they want - how hard can that be?

MadamePsychosis: I'm doing you a favor devil demon dude - calm down!

GM: I have always thought of this as making sure it gets to the right hands/talons

GM: Demon checked out the book, Devils want it back, Demon lost it and is stuck in Hell instead of back home in the Abyss

GM: Demons who want him to stay gone want to get ahold of the book, Devils who want to use the book as leverage over him want to get it before it gets to the librarian

GM: Your task is to thread the needle

MadamePsychosis: if Jenn really gets the portal to open at the library then we will be in the right place

GM: Very true

MadamePsychosis: the thing is to make sure who we hand it to can remove the demon mark from Branwyn

MadamePsychosis: so don't just dump it in the return bin or hand it to the shelving imp

GM: Grins

GM: I swear I returned it on time, go check the shelves!

MadamePsychosis: yes!

GM: This filth should not be in a library! This needs to be taken away and burned!

MadamePsychosis: sigh

GM: Had no idea I was anticipating that so many years ago

'Master TMO' connected

GM: Hello TMO

Licornah: Evening TMO

Master TMO: hello. finally got this silly program installed on the new laptop

GM: Also for Lisa and Lorie, I am giving you full permission to look through and use the Guide to Hell book that TMO converted for us now that Fives has spent time with the group

Master TMO: *TMO grants you knowledge*

MadamePsychosis: Hi TMO :)

Master TMO: My work here is done! Away!! *zip*

MadamePsychosis: lol

Licornah: ...bye TMO... gone too soon :: sigh ::

Licornah: :: pours out some iced tea in his honor ::

'LemonyLemon' connected

GM: Hello Lemon

Licornah: Evening Lemon

GM: add the Priest spell Gate to the site now

LemonyLemon: hello everyone!

GM: Hope the week has been good for you Lemon

Master TMO: so, how may I assist everyone tonight? Mirth? Merriment? Insults? Advice? Fart jokes?

LemonyLemon: Sure, we'll call it good

GM: Hopefully less wet than here

LemonyLemon: well yes, definitely that

LemonyLemon: I got a real good elbow to the collarbone yesterday, but that's the worst of it, physically

MadamePsychosis: Hi Lemon :)

MadamePsychosis: Ouch!

GM: TMo do you have the PDF portions of the Guide to Hell that you can share in the Discord? Not the details about individuals there, but the overall stuff?

Master TMO: I can get it

Master TMO: what parts?

GM: Anything you think will be useful

GM: Now that Fives has been around for a while he would have shared what he knows

GM: Branwyn has done research also

Master TMO: Devils = Bad. Hell = No Fun.

GM: I posted the Priest version of the Gate spell that you have two scrolls of

GM: HAH

GM: I think Lorie beat you to that

GM: Once Carissa is in we will move to Alexandria and getting home, so wanted to take this time to work out what ever we could for Book Return

GM: and then come back to it at the end of the night or for certain starting next week

Master TMO: I think everything of prime importance is in the book in FGU's library here, just add it to your books list. But i have the PDFs handy now, and can grab any bit asked for at any time

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How do we kill things in hell?

Master TMO: typically magic or magic weapons

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): booooo-rinnnng

Master TMO: most of the non-grunts are immune to non-magical weapons

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's how we kill everything

Master TMO: sorry, no life-threatening allergies to ginger spice or anything

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok but what about to posh spice?

Master TMO: she counts as a magic weapon

Licornah: Sporty Spice is the real weapon of that group... the rest are just window dressing :)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Idk... baby spice hides behind that innocent act but I don't believe it for a second

GM: TMO Guide to Hell is listed in my book list here in FG

GM: And I have no input on the potential leathality of Spice Girl World

LorieD (Licornah): (Scary Spice is only effective against Eddie Murphy; Ginger is reformed... Baby flies under the radar to avoid detection. Posh frowns at everyone's shenanigans :) )

GM: Does anyone else see the Guide to Hell in their list of Books?

LorieD (Licornah): Not here

GM: I show it as allowing Player Load

Master TMO: you have to go to Library, select the Unloaded books, and check load. I have it.

GM: Thank you TMO

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, I just loaded it and now I have it as well

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

LorieD (Licornah): Okay, I'm updated as well

GM: And because the game it up 24/7 you can log in to check and read things as you need

GM: and or I think you can copy and paste portions outside of FG as you want too

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I'm zero percent ever going to do that, but hopefully someone else will

GM: Unless the person who created this blocked that from happening ;)

Master TMO: I'm almost always available on Discord too, so feel free to ping me. I definitely don't have this book memorized, but am willing to help research

GM: Both version of the Gate spell are now posted. You have two Priest Gate spell scrolls

Master TMO: apparently I never got to adding the statblocks for the devils to the book, but they're still available

GM: The descriptions are the key thing for us for this story arc

GM: but adding those to it so you can sell it would be good

GM: get a least $2.50 back on your efforts

Master TMO: yeah, getting off my butt and finishing it would be a good idea. too many hobbies, not enough energy. ;)

GM: You have kids, make them do it for you

GM: I thought they did away with child labor laws now?

Master TMO: yes.... that will go over GREAT with my in-law's, one of whom is still stuck in the Satanic Panic of the 80s

Master TMO: "You had them copying WHAT?"

GM: I need them to learn all the details of what to avoid!

Master TMO: the other in-law was at least open to education on the matter

GM: Also side note, Sharif did say he is really enjoying this, it is just that he gets off of work at 6 his time, 9 Eastern, so that is why he is missing times

GM: I had queried him to be check on him

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm glad to hear that. I really enjoy his unique personality

GM: Lemon is there anything that you want Bixi to accomplish before returning home?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Um... what else is left?

GM: TMO same with Craigh

GM: Totally up to you Lemon, the only encounter on the list was stopping in Penissa because that was the last/first town you were at after leaving Redfern Lake

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And what happened there the first time around?

GM: Bixi, Zayden, Howard did a show to make some money

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, yeah, no thanks

MadamePsychosis: lol

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I remember that, it was terrible

Master TMO: Only other thing might be making more scrolls, since I'm guessing buying/stealing magic items is probably off the table. (under the table, maybe? ;) )

Master TMO: but it's not important enough to hold up the game

GM: Along the way home, no time to make them, but there are churches and such you could try to steal them from

Master TMO: oh, and we're not even in town anymore. nevermind - forgot where we were

MadamePsychosis: Howard was tasked to make a couple copy scrolls while he was in dryads lair

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Stealing from a church feels like a bad idea?

MadamePsychosis: yes

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Also there is a fruit fly suddenly in my wine, and I am very upset

GM: Yes Howard did do those

LorieD (Licornah): (I am sorry about your wine)

GM: Carissa is almost here

GM: When she is in can decide on final things for the trip home

Craigh: Lisa, are they in Howard's inventory, or do you want me to put them in mine with the others?

Master TMO (Craigh): ooc

GM: and Michael is working on getting in also

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): afk to get a fresh drink

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

GM: Updated background image to show close to home instead of the wagon

MadamePsychosis: sorry - doing my taxes in background

GM: Ouch

GM: are you SURE you do not want to go to Hell?

MadamePsychosis: just said I wanted howard to make scrolls. I didn't have confirmation

'mharmon1' connected

GM: Might be more fun

GM: Welcome Michael

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

MadamePsychosis: he was going to give them to Branwyn because it was my understanding that she's the only one that can read the book to copy it

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yay, Michael!

MadamePsychosis: taxes weird this year - can do standard deduction instead of itemized and am supposed to get 800 back

GM: Yes to Lisa, and yes that was accomplished

mharmon1: here?

mharmon1: Okay good

mharmon1: Apologies about that, but am here now

GM: and good to see you Michael

MadamePsychosis: staring at it to make sure I didn't mess up and have 87000 new IRS agents come after me

mharmon1: :) Hi Everyone :)

GM: LOL Lisa

MadamePsychosis: Hi Michael :)

LorieD (Licornah): (Congrats on tax refund)

LorieD (Licornah): (Evening Michael)

mharmon1: Technically, only some of those are Agents. Many are support staff, legal experts, secretaries, and more :)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I owe this year... crying emoji

mharmon1: :(

GM: And you do NOT want any secretaries coming after you

mharmon1: Sorry Lemon

mharmon1: LOL

MadamePsychosis: lol

mharmon1: I'll take the agent....

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Eh, it's only $51, not that bad. But still annoying

mharmon1: (We in Character? If so, I'll grab Talwin)

GM: All of the above Michael

MadamePsychosis: not yet

GM: OOC to plot and organize

mharmon1: (Gotcha. Thank you lisa/bob)

GM: IC when you are ready to make verbal decisions

mharmon1: Can someone give me the ten second version for the hour I've missed?

GM: This is your last chance in a live session to do anything traveling home

mharmon1: Ah

mharmon1: Gotcha

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We debated which spice girl is deadliest

mharmon1: No

mharmon1: Did you really?

GM: you are arriving at Penissa, last stop before Redfern Lake

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And we loaded in the guide to hell book

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We did.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's literally all you missed, since I got here anyway

GM: See you really do need to read the chat log on Sundays Michael

mharmon1: No, not last week. Literally today

GM: Read from the good book and you will be ready for your future

GM: :)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah that's all that happened today. I mean, I get here a little late, so something might have happened before I got here

Master TMO (Craigh): nothing has. :)

mharmon1: Sigh. Let me go find the New Testament. Got one around here somewhere

GM: there you go Michael

GM: (LINK)

GM: Grins

mharmon1: lol

mharmon1: thanks haha

GM: But also Talwin, Indigo, Howard, Bixi, Rae, Craigh, last time together before arriving back in the Craniate Wastes and home

Master TMO (Craigh): any chitchats anyone wants to do?

mharmon1: Frankly, I'm chitchatted out

mharmon1: :D

GM: Youtargim, Lanek and Zayden are there too but are all indisposed at the moment

mharmon1: Call of Nature

mharmon1: :)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But what kind of nature? Sometimes it's like giant fish

mharmon1: ...........

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm drinking.

mharmon1: :)

GM: I am really just waiting on Carissa to be certain she is done also

GM: and then we click back to home

mharmon1: No problem at all

mharmon1: Gonna grab some ice then :)

GM: But Lorie and Lisa will appreciate the help Michael on plotting the welcoming committee when you open the Gates of Hell

GM: Lemon does Bixi have any charm spells?

GM: Memory altering spells perhaps?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean, we can start without Carissa. Pretty sure she DID want to do another performance

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

GM: I am here,

GM: You can create

mharmon1: Back. And bob, it's hell. Best I got when dealing with this shennanigans is to stand in front of them so whatever friendly creature wanders in to borrow a cup of sugar doesn't accidentally fry them

GM: Did you update your Books to get the Guide to Hell Michael?

mharmon1: If Lisa is amiable to purchasing a siege engine, I am a skilled Arbalest :) That way, we have lots of big guys, at least the first one will die pretty damn quick

GM: Fives provided lots of information to the group that Talwin will have when he arrives

mharmon1: And No. I will attempt to do so now. Sorry, thought that was part of the update pack

GM: What type of siege engine are you thinking Michael?

GM: Branwyn does have a catapult but that does not work at close range

mharmon1: Ballista

MadamePsychosis: but but but

GM: grins yes Lisa?

MadamePsychosis: the thing is just to return a library book

MadamePsychosis: not conduct an assault on hell

GM: grins

mharmon1: Oh come on

mharmon1: Why not? :)

mharmon1: I mean

mharmon1: It makes a statement.

mharmon1: Jennievieve will love it

mharmon1: :D

Craigh: just mail it?

Master TMO (Craigh): ooc

mharmon1: Attach it to the Spear, fire it into the portal, and close the gate

mharmon1: Win win!

mharmon1: Bob, where am I updating this book for Hell

mharmon1: Not seeing it available for download

mharmon1: I can check discord real quick. I'm sure you posted there

Master TMO (Craigh): Menus/Library/Unloaded Books/ Load it

GM: you have to go to Library, select the Unloaded books, and check load. I have it.

mharmon1: Wow. Not even in the right ball park on my end. Huh, was doing something completely different. Thought this was an add on module or something. Sigh

GM: It is a module, TMO is good

mharmon1: And so it is! Wow

GM: Plus I am guessing there are other books there you can download that you did not before

Master TMO (Craigh): if I were good, shouldn't I be doing "Guide to Heaven"?

mharmon1: Well......

GM: Once you finish Hell you can start on that one :)

mharmon1: LOL

mharmon1: What about the Guide to Neutral?

GM: No one bought that one

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Guide to Limbo

mharmon1: Fields of Asphodel

GM: That one is just two poles, easy

mharmon1: lol

GM: You are going to tackle Book Return in earnest starting tonight and next session

GM: Once that is all over we have the Intermediate Era, small adventures around the Estate for everyone to complete and settle in and be home....

GM: I have a small list so far of the bits for that

LorieD: :: picks up the Book of Boredom, yawns, puts it back down ::

GM: Exactly

mharmon1: Kind of like how after the Main Lord of the Rings quest, we got a Bag End Chapter?

GM: Adventurers eventually want to Adventure

'seyfert' connected

GM: and that will lead to .... the post I made in late March on Player Comunication

GM: and welcome Carissa

mharmon1: Hi Carissa!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hello Carissa! Please disregard everything I said about you before you got here.

GM: She was far too nice

Master TMO (Craigh): hi!

LorieD: Evening Carissa

GM: Getting more water as everyone settles in and we complete the trip home

GM: As my wife falls asleep on the couch to serial killers again

mharmon1: Ah, I remember my first Game of Thrones :)

GM: chuckles

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah there was a point where my ex was SUPER INTO true crime stuff, and I was like, should I be worried about this?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Spoiler alert, he didn't kill me. Yet.

GM: So Michael anything that Talwin wants to complete on the way home

GM: Well he is your EX so WHAT DID YOU DO WITH HIS BODY LEMON!!!!!

GM: What are you hiding?

mharmon1: I did think about this a bit, but I really had nothing so critical that I wanted to do it. I'm fine going into Book Return.

mharmon1: also LOL

seyfert: (load time is getting ridiculous again)

seyfert: (hi all, probably won't be on long tonight)

GM: It will be a quicker load time next time for everyone, this was the repair from last week's disaster

GM: and so in moving things quickly for Carissa.....

GM: You are arriving in Penissa

GM: You can stay the night and then CLICK back home

MadamePsychosis: Hi Carissa :)

GM: or you can roleplay what you want here

GM: and or what ever else you feel you want to accomplish before arriving at home

seyfert: (only thing I remember is wanting to see if the priestess is around Redfern -no brain power to remember anything else)

seyfert: (Hi Lisa!)

GM: you can always RetCon things in the IC section to cover the things you forgot

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I thought you also wanted to have another performance... but... I'm fine if you changed your mind

seyfert: rate things are going here, I won't have brain power for that for two more months

GM: Sorry for that Carissa

seyfert: oh performance! sure

GM: Also Michael remember to check your PO BOx

GM: and Lisa check your mail

GM: Carissa got her package finally

MadamePsychosis: you can perform for Miller or Penissa I would imagine

GM: Yes to Lisa

MadamePsychosis: real mail?

mharmon1: When I get back to The PO Box, I will frantically search :)

seyfert: or both!

GM: Performances can be at both

GM: Yes to Lisa

GM: UPS

MadamePsychosis: I haven't checked the mail since about the 7th

GM: LOL

GM: This will NOT fit in the box

mharmon1: Uh

MadamePsychosis: it's garbage delivery. I resent the mail

seyfert: I like the USPS thing that tells me when to check things so I can not check things sometimes

mharmon1: Will it fit in a PO Box?

GM: Yes for Michael

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yes! Lisa! same! I check it like, once a month at most

mharmon1: Oh okay. Worried for a second

GM: I finally emptied out all the things that were laying around here

MadamePsychosis: will check in the morning

mharmon1: Opens Package: This is a used pair of socks?

GM: So Carissa is leading

GM: Are you doing anything in Penissa?

GM: Rae leads with Craigh, Daphene, Bixi, Talwin, Indigo, Howard

seyfert: performance apparently

seyfert: And Bixi can lead since she's able to think

GM: Totally up to the group but ready for anything

GM: I think the gnome has been drinking

mharmon1: So Performance, and we shall cheer. And Drink

GM: Make those rolls for anyone with talents

GM: To help move things along

GM: Indigo got 25 silver from his bar bets

seyfert (Raelynn): Dang, maybe she should have been drinking

GM: Rae gets proposals every night

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

seyfert (Raelynn): truth

GM: Any last bits and bobs?

seyfert (Raelynn): not in this town I don't think

mharmon1 (Talwin): Got nothin else to roll. Let's move out :) Unless someone forgot something of course

GM: If anyone forgot anything along the road you can do it on the In Character pages

Talwin: Cool!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oops sorry

mharmon1 (Talwin): Actually, pretend he meant it for the gang performing

GM: So you all see your Inn of the Lost Eagle image

mharmon1 (Talwin): Yes for me

seyfert (Raelynn): Redfern??

seyfert (Raelynn): What about the priestess there?

GM: And to welcome you home....

GM: There is your new Inn of the Lost Eagle that I commissioned for you

Talwin: The mists surrounding it is very very cool.

Indigo: I like it!!

GM: No priestess at Redfern, she was traveling through

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'd love to have this mounted on Canvas and put next to my desk

seyfert (Raelynn): Oh graveyard was blocking it

seyfert (Raelynn): dancy

seyfert (Raelynn): and fancy

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): :D

GM: I also have it in full map form with Line of Sight, etc.

LorieD: This mist almost looks inviting ... ALMOST

GM: Just in anticipation.....

seyfert (Raelynn): boo and Miller didn't lose much to her? that was the concern

mharmon1 (Talwin): Only until you've been in it. It's like how Beautiful Antarctica looks, until you're in it lol

GM: That can be explored Carissa

Image: Inn of the Lost Eagle 75x80.jpg@Settlement - Lost Eagle Inn

GM: and Michael I can send you that file if you like

Master TMO (Craigh): never pictured it as blue

mharmon1 (Talwin): I don't have the rights to do that bob

mharmon1 (Talwin): But thank you

GM: I paid for us to have the rights to use this in our game, as long as you do not use it commercially, that is part of our game

Talwin: Ah...Sweet! Then I'd love that

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah...Sweet! Then I'd love that

GM: warm smile, I do plan these things

GM: As you will want this for Rae and Bixi when they are doing Seances, readings, etc.

seyfert (Raelynn): SEANCE

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): We should do a D&D Seance Segment

GM: and the idea that someone might want to set up (DOH sorry thank you) a shrine for those who go in and out of The Mist a lot

seyfert (Raelynn): yesss

mharmon1 (Talwin): Lemon, got your true crime here. Seances and all

GM: Also it occurs to me that this map might be helpful for certain Gate spells

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well....it would. It's the only place the MIst isn't blocking everything right? Or did I misunderstand your meaning

GM: Exactly Michael

mharmon1 (Talwin): Ah.Then yeah, good map to save as a Favorite. I wonder how long it will be before one of the Vampires realized the mist isn't covering everything in their domain

GM: and Maps are uploaded to the Art channel on Discord

LorieD: (see that tiny black speck...that's the Vampire's eyes... just waiting to swoop in and CHOMP!)

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Got it! Thanks bob :)

GM: Branwyn has her own second floor balcony, rooms to accomodate halflings and gnomes, etc

mharmon1 (Talwin): Wow. I need to drop in here more often. Tmo's Foriso Tower looks like something out of Myst. Non-Ironically

GM: There is a platform for Zayden and Rae to perform

GM: BUT we are all together now back in Dragon Fen

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): NOW may I give Bran the Damn Fire Gem lol

GM: Yes jumping to the traditional Morning Meeting at the Manor House the morning after you arrive back home

GM: Licornah, Branwyn, N'laea, and for everyone who has been gone on the trip a new person you might remember Fives is there playing with Branwyn's children

GM: Abiet not enthusiastically

Talwin: I wanted to give this to you in person, and it's something of a Suprise. I know there are varied uses for it, but as a Thank you for your kindness and allowing me time away from the Protectorate

Master TMO (Fives): oh, that is an *incredibly* bad idea!!!!

Talwin: Smiles

Talwin: Carefully places small wooden chest on Table

mharmon1 (Talwin): Whew. Finally got that part done

seyfert (Raelynn): (wooden? with a fire gem?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Cross it off my checklist

mharmon1 (Talwin): Dammit Carissa! Let me have this LOL

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

seyfert (Raelynn): magic wood, got it!

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Insert Appropriate Asbestos Lined Box Here)

seyfert (Raelynn): lmao

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, had to afk, but I'm back and it's not MY true crime, let's get that correct right now

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's wooden but it has the mud around it still lol

Nevin Ognorn: Looks at Talwin

Talwin: Looks critically at the box. "Er, not the prettiest in hindsight Bran, but uh, it's the thought that counts"

Nevin Ognorn: A box?

Nevin Ognorn: That is the most important thing you could bring back?

Talwin: Sides eyes Nevin

Raelynn: And there was a LOT of thought put into it! And blood, and deals, and all that stuff.

Raelynn: No, the most important thing was himself.

Talwin: I'd OPEN the box Lady Bran

Branwyn: looks up surprised

Fives: trips a running child so they fall into another child and the both go down with windmilling limbs.

Bixi Fizzlebang: And glitter lotion

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL TMO

Branwyn: You brought me something?

Talwin: Sighs heavily

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol tmo

Talwin: at the Gang

Raelynn: whipsers to Talwin, "Maybe it needs more glitter."

Talwin: Brightens

Talwin: I did!

Talwin: It DOESN"T need more glitter!

Talwin: Empahtic

Raelynn: We can agree to disagree.

Jilly Ognorn: Casually TWAPS Fives on the helmet with her spoon as she walks by

Branwyn: opens the box

Jilly Ognorn: Indigo here are your second favorite scones

Jilly Ognorn: If you had told me you were coming.....

Branwyn: looks inside and her jaw drops

Branwyn: Is this ... a fire gem?

Talwin: Yes it is!

Talwin: A special thank you from all of us

Bixi Fizzlebang: But mostly Talwin

Bixi Fizzlebang: and Rae

Bixi Fizzlebang: She convinced the dragon

Fives: thoroughly ignores Jilly's existence.

Raelynn: We're friends!

Branwyn: You didn't say anything when I was there. How ...

LorieD: :: appears out of the fields and waves to the group ::

Branwyn: That's what you were doing in the fire swamps?

Talwin: It er, needed special care until we could get it to you and I didn't have it when you visited

Branwyn: Thank you!

Craigh: If you don't count the running for our lives, yes.

Raelynn: He was busy training and all.

Talwin: Yes that is what we were doing. We got three of them in fact.

Talwin: This one is just for you

Talwin: One was for a forge

Talwin: The other....

Raelynn: Five.

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Did we get all five???)

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): think so

Talwin: (I have three in my notes)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Holy shit. How many did we give Alexandria. I'm bonkers now)

seyfert (Raelynn): (Three for Alexandria, one for Bran, one in the room I think?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (oh)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Whew)

Talwin: Well

Talwin: I'm not quite sure what to do with it now that we speak of it

Talwin: You would know best

Talwin: I figured worst case we could donate for a favor or sell it for money. Or, you might have better use for it

Branwyn: I will save this for something important. I appreciate you all and for thnking of me

Talwin: Shrugs

Talwin: I didn't wrap that one

Talwin: Sorry

Branwyn: This is wonderful

Talwin: Grins

mharmon1 (Talwin): (In all seriousness, though, I have no idea what we do with the other. Should we give it to Bran for safekeeping?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Or would bob allow an immediate "sale"?)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (What do we do here?)

GM: No sales

Talwin: That was easy

Talwin: To the Vault!

LorieD: (We should find a Silver Dragon and offer it as a token)

seyfert (Raelynn): Keep it in the room for next time

mharmon1 (Talwin): (And there we go!)

seyfert (Raelynn): When is dinner with Mr. Silver and we don't know he's a dragon - he might not tell us, either

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bran knows we have one though. She just needs to ask and doesn't need to tell us the reason

seyfert (Raelynn): I'd say save it for the next ancient dragon you try to pick a fight with ;)

mharmon1 (Talwin): Why? You'd just give it special lotion and we'll all be friends

seyfert (Raelynn): I suppose, but I don't see a reason to give him one. We aren't doing any deals with him

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

LorieD: (Oh... I had forgotten about him... )

mharmon1 (Talwin): Well if we ever need a favor from Mr. Silver, then we got a nice chip

seyfert (Raelynn): (good chance someone in Hell might want it anyways...)

mharmon1 (Talwin): In Hell? NAH

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

seyfert (Raelynn): Although maybe glitter lotion has a high value there as well....

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Maybe if we go to a cold level

seyfert (Raelynn): oooh for warmth

mharmon1 (Talwin): Although Howard did say we can purge spirits from Weaponry with it. So.... We could always hold it for that

mharmon1 (Talwin): Actually, that's pretty genius lol

seyfert (Raelynn): if N'laea's sword starts talking, yes please!

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

GM: It is the morning of 22-09-358 SKR

Master TMO (Craigh): my wife has piteously begged me to go fetch dessert. :) I'll be back in about 15

User has gone AFK. (Master TMO)

seyfert (Raelynn): bring me some!!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): fetch me some too!

GM: ANd yes that is something that Branwyn might pick up on, with Talwin's change of character with the sword being..... changed

GM: Also...

Raelynn: Talwin trained really hard while we were gone, too! AND he's a little less crazy!

mharmon1 (Talwin): What, that he's not constantly mumbling to himself? Or that he's more relaxed and less uptight. Although for a moment, he wanted to smack Nevin

Jilly Ognorn: What are we doing with this giant boar they brought home?

Bixi Fizzlebang: That's mine!

Raelynn: That's Bixi's pet pony or something.

Talwin: Pinches the Bridge of his nose between Thumb and Forefinger

Jilly Ognorn: Who is responsible.... well then what do you want to do with it?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm going to buy a house somewhere and I will keep him there

Bixi Fizzlebang: And ask Gerry to look after him when I'm away

Bixi Fizzlebang: I just want a little cottage with a garden.

Jilly Ognorn: Gerry does not leave the Lost Eagle so that is unlikely

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, I would take Knotty to the stables there, of course

Jilly Ognorn: Nods, we can arrange that for you, you have served Branwyn well

Bixi Fizzlebang: If Gerry agreed

Bixi Fizzlebang: If he doesn't... well.. I'll think of something.

Jilly Ognorn: I suppose you will want to build a shrine also

Bixi Fizzlebang: glances sideways at Daph

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um, no?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Should I?

Jilly Ognorn: Glances over at Branwyn

Jilly Ognorn: We just went over this a couple of months ago with Jennevie

Jilly Ognorn: By the way she is due back in three days

Talwin: Oh thank gods

Talwin: Mumbles under his breath

Bixi Fizzlebang: Excited to see her again, eh Talwin?

Talwin: Flushes red

Talwin: I er

LorieD: :: approaches the group :: How was the trip home

Branwyn: It's up to Bixi what she wants to do

Talwin: I dind't say anything

Raelynn: We'll let her know you missed her!

Jilly Ognorn: Branwyn will grant you a deed to a small shrine, we are going to guess you mean to see mostly gnome worshipers?

Daphene: I... wow. I wouldn't have thought she was your type

LorieD: :: looks at Knotty :: Hope you enjoyed the time being on land again :: smiles ::

Daphene: Rae, you should look into this match

Talwin: Eyes Daphene

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Want to go IC Lorie?

Talwin: More like, glad she was out for an errand

Talwin: Sheepishly

LorieD (Licornah): (Yes, forgot I closed it)

Raelynn: I'd be happy to!

Raelynn: My list of potential matchmaking keeps growing!

CLearing the plates

Talwin: I need a drink

Talwin: Stiff

Jilly Ognorn: You need to talk

Daphene: Let me know if I can help in any way

Jilly Ognorn: TWAKS Talwin

Talwin: Groans

Raelynn: Oh!! I will! Thank you, Daphine!

Talwin: I missed you too Jilly

Talwin: And your Scones

Jilly Ognorn: You just got back, you owe your liege at least one sober day

Talwin: Bran can I have one stiff drink?

Talwin: I can still swing my sword if you point at something

GM: Obviously Jilly is ignoring Talwin's change or not believing it

Raelynn: Just don't get into a contest with Indigo. You'll lose...

Talwin: Grunts in Acknolwedgement

Talwin: Yeah, that's a fools bargain

Nevin Ognorn: If I might sum up the proceedings

Nevin Ognorn: We have three days before Aunt Jennevive returns

Talwin: Shudders

Raelynn: Daphales! Do you have anyone you want me to match you up with? Or should I start looking?

Nevin Ognorn: If there is anything you wish the Estate to handle before then please let it be known

Branwyn: Yes Talwin, please drink if you wish

Talwin: Beams

Talwin: Fetches himself a very minor amount of ....something alocholic

Talwin: Can the estate handle my will? Haven't gotten around to that yet

Nevin Ognorn: Also by the way so everyone else understands, Branwyn knows but you might not understand, Aunt Jennevive is officially Sister Jennevive, but she has continued to use her Aunt title for some reason....

Raelynn: Umm, what?

Nevin Ognorn: I profess I do not know why

Talwin: So people underestimate her

Talwin: That's why

Raelynn: Oh, is that the title her church uses?

Talwin: Sips his drink

Nevin Ognorn: Level/Spell Level Title 1/1 Priest 2/1 Companion 3/2 Friend 5/3 Patron 7/4 Uncle/Aunt 9/5 Brother/Sister 11/6 Father/Mother 14/7 Priest

seyfert (Raelynn): (I know, but Rae/Elven churches use different ones :P)

Nevin Ognorn: With Branwyn the Builder of Churches

mharmon1 (Talwin): Oh man. Having the title Priest be the first and last, must cause some serious issues from time to time and unintended insults....

Daphene -> Raelynn: Um... maybe we can talk about this in a more private setting, later?

Nevin Ognorn: Or which ever title we do settle on for that

Raelynn -> Daphene: Yes, please! I'd love to!

Branwyn: She may take her true title when she starts her church

N'laea: Not The Godless?

Talwin: Chokes

Talwin: Chokes

Talwin: Branwny the Godless?

Talwin: Baffled

Talwin: I've never heard that one!

Branwyn: It seems to be what Nevin enjoys calling me

Talwin: Well, you already have

Talwin: Counts on fingers

Talwin: 8?

Talwin: What's one more

Talwin: I won't use that one in public

Talwin: thinks

Talwin: Or private for that matter

Raelynn: Six.

N'laea: Six.

Branwyn: Thank you

Talwin: Official or Unofficial Rae?

N'laea: Ah, not churches. My mistake.

seyfert (N'laea): (was Nlaea sorry)

Nevin Ognorn: I do think that you might want to come up with a quiz for our new .... companion.... when he returns from tormenting... playing with the children

Talwin: Waves at Fives

Raelynn: Who?

Nevin Ognorn: He has been rather interesting to have around the Estate

Talwin: High Fives

Talwin: snickers

Daphene: quiz? Like a competition?

Raelynn: Who's that?

seyfert (Raelynn): (oh right he's getting dessert HE BETTER SHARE WITH US ALL)

Nevin Ognorn: Branwyn has spent many hours with him, Licornah has meditated and enspelled him from what I gather

mharmon1 (Talwin): I want an oreo blizzard and since the nearest Ice Cream to me is 45 miles away, he better be teleporting it....

LorieD (Licornah): (Oooh...good call, going to get dessert too)

Branwyn: Fives is the person we brought back from Riversbend

Nevin Ognorn: N'laea has been .... Exploring things too

Branwyn: He has been very helpful with giving us information on hell

Raelynn: Ooohh! Is that the guy Howard and the others met up with?

Branwyn: Yes. I believe he's been teaching N'laea the infernal language

N'laea: nods

Talwin: I mean, he's not the first guy I would see playing with kids....

Talwin: Has he....given any problems?

Branwyn: Though where she's going to use it after this, I'm not sure

Branwyn: Oh no. He's been most welcome

Talwin: I'm certain she could use that language for translation capabilities

N'laea: I collect languages as I come across them.

Talwin: Write a textbook or two

Talwin: Teach them at the future college

'Shislif' connected

Talwin: Haven't gotten that far yet

GM: Welcome Sharif!

Talwin: You could be one of the best Professors N'laea

LorieD (Licornah): (Evening Sharif)

N'laea: Perhaps. Or learn a new one and forget this one.

seyfert (N'laea): (Hi Sharif!)

Nevin Ognorn: How do you forget Common?

Talwin: Write a book or two before you do! I'll pay well for it

Talwin: Turns to Branwny

Talwin: Turns to Branwny

N'laea: I do not. The languages I grew up with stay with me. The others... it depends.

Shislif: Hi everybody!

Shislif: cool map!

Nevin Ognorn: Also looking at Daphene, I am not certain where you will want to be staying

Talwin: One thing at a time of course, but i'm hoping sometime after this we can set up a school, or small university. Start exploring new learning opportunities for the populace.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Hi Sharif :)

seyfert (N'laea): (we missed Zayden for a performance :( )

mharmon1 (Talwin): (we did!)

Shislif: ah bummer

mharmon1 (Talwin): (You were there in spirit though :) )

Daphene: Oh um... I don't know. I just figured Bixi would tell me where to stay...

Shislif: The ghost of music past :)

LemonyLemon (Daphene): Yay, Zayden!

Nevin Ognorn: You put Bixi in charge?

Raelynn: What about the boarding house? Until we find something?

Daphene: Sure! Is it... safe?

N'laea: Does that mean interacting with others?

Indigo: She's Bixi's responsibility. Her and Knotty

Raelynn: Yes! It's where I've been staying, although I'm hoping to open a tea shop somewhere...

Raelynn: OH! Yes! Bixi is a Storyteller now! This is one of her disciples!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Somewhere near me! I can help grow herbs for the tea!

Nevin Ognorn: That was my thought Indigo, Bixi is very quirky, and now bringing back a wild boar and a halfling, .... it seems a bit

Craigh: Great. Chatty pixies.

Master TMO (Craigh): wrong character

Branwyn: Talwin, that sounds like an interesting idea. You should speak with Nevin about possibilities and logistics, what it would take and so forth

Bixi Fizzlebang: The boar isn't wild. And I didn't "bring" Daph anywhere, she chose to join us

Fives: Great. Chatty pixies.

Talwin: Warm Smile

Talwin: I'll do that

Nevin Ognorn: What do you need to run a school Talwin?

Daphene: nods

Talwin: I'm not sure the mines will last forever. I want to do everything we can to set up the Protectorate and the overal estate for many centuries

Talwin: Nods at Nevin

Nevin Ognorn: Ok so Daph is how you would like to be called?

Talwin: Knowledge, Personnel, and Money

Talwin: Shrugs

Raelynn: She responds to many names.

Talwin: We can decompose those into smaller chunks later

Talwin: Smiles

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Be right back. 2 min)

Daphene: Yeah, that's fine

Jilly Ognorn: Goes up to Daphene, It is ok, We will make sure you are safe and welcome. How would you like me to put you on the census?

Fives: Nah. This group here has got all the money issues solved. They're gunna build enough churches to fleece all the gullible sheep that come a-callin'.

Jilly Ognorn: Do not let those warriors bumble their way into not respecting your choices

Daphene: Um... most of them don't seem like warriors

Raelynn: If you're really nice, and prove yourself, maybe you can build your own, too.

Jilly Ognorn: Their manners are not much above a warrior

Jilly Ognorn: If they will not respect your own choices

Jilly Ognorn: We pay attention to people here in the Estate of Dragon Fen, the Countess will not have it any other way

Jilly Ognorn: You will have a place to stay with us until you need to settle elsewhere,

Fives: snorts.

Nevin Ognorn: Fives you do not plan on building any churches do you?

Fives: Why the hell would I want to do something stupid like that?

Nevin Ognorn: I would have thought a gambling parlor would be more your style

Daphene: Yeah, I don't know. I've changed it a bit and Daph is as good as anything else

Fives: Too many suckers.

N'laea: To fleece people for money?

Fives: I got no interest in getting rich.

N'laea: What is your interest?

GM: Dive right in Sharif, Zayden is back in Dragon Fen, his new home for a while at least....

Fives: pulls out his sword and points it at Branwyn.

Zayden: hopefully it's a fair rate

Shislif (Zayden): Okey doke!

Fives: I'm on contract to Her Nibs over there as Resident Know-It-All on Hell and Devils.

Zayden: Hell and Devils would make for a good band name

Bixi Fizzlebang: It's really inappopriate for you to be talking about Branwyn's nibs.

Fives: rolls his eyes.

N'laea: Yes, but after?

Nevin Ognorn: I do wish you would not use that inside, we do have a yard to go practice in, or has Lord Branadarus not humbled you enough?

Fives: glares at N'laea.

N'laea: is impassive.

Fives: completely ignores Nevin's existence.

Fives: shrugs.

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Very lively group here. Everyone ignoring each other.

Shislif (Zayden): is there a dragon fen image with our icons or is it the background image?

Fives: Eh, whatever. When she's done with me, she'll send me to some city somewhere, and I'll go back to my life.

Fives: plants his sword point down in the floor.

GM: Just the background image of the Inn of the Lost Eagle to welcome everyone home

Shislif (Zayden): coolio

GM: Using that background image for the rest of Book Return

GM: No one is on any map yet

N'laea: Each to their own.

Fives: Usually how it works, 'cepting certain busybodies.

Jilly Ognorn: Whispers to Rae, he refuses to admit that he likes it when I add the extra peppers to his dishes

Raelynn: Oh but there's so much potential here to do things!

Talwin: I mean...Deep in Though

Talwin: *Thought

Raelynn: to Jilly, "Oh! Add some to Howard's dish! There was a spicy stew we ate that he really liked!"

Talwin: I'm sure there is a god of gambling Fives

Talwin: Dead Serious

Zayden: oh for sure

Fives: .... good for him?

Zayden: he promises everything and delivers nothing, so just like the rest of the gods

-> Talwin: Talwin knows of the Free City of Svort... a gamling paradise

Talwin: TY

Talwin: Have you ever been to the Free City of Svort?

Raelynn: You seem very... pleasant, Fives.

Talwin: It's a Gambling Paradise

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't know, the elf goddess lady gave us stuff so she kind of delivered

Zayden: Gambling is fun though, that's the thing

Talwin: To the point where many issues are actually solved by gambling, not just finanical

Talwin: I'd bankroll you opening a Church of Gambling, assuming it does no harm

Zayden: true Bix, but I guess nuance is kinda a comedy killer is the only thing

Bixi Fizzlebang: Ouch

Fives: Yep. I'm a real ball of happiness. Are you a free-roaming lady of fun, or someone's personal pet that they bring along on their trips?

Talwin: As prickly as ever Fives

Zayden: whoa

Talwin: Rolls eyes

LorieD (Licornah): (I don't remember this verse of the Piña Colada song...)

Talwin: Bixi do you want me to stab him?

GM: lol

Talwin: Dead Serious

Raelynn: Who?

Talwin: Fives of course

Master TMO (Fives): that was to Rae

Bixi Fizzlebang: You should probably ask Rae

Talwin: Oh sorry. To Rae!

mharmon1 (Talwin): Dammit

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): Could have sworn that was at Bixi

Raelynn: A pet?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Retcon that

Raelynn: Please feel free to explain that.

Talwin: Rae do you want me to stab him?

Jilly Ognorn: No one gets any scones if there is any fighting

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wow, Talwin. Judging me for being short.

Jilly Ognorn: Indigo you need to stop them

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm no one's pet!

Talwin: I'll forfeigt a Scone

Zayden: No stabbing Tal!

Talwin: Winks, Only if Rae tells me too

Raelynn: No, no. I like when people think they're funny and have to explain their joke.

Fives: What makes you think I was joking?

Talwin: But it's a dumb joke

Talwin: Whines

Jilly Ognorn: Gives Zayden an extra dish of jam

Talwin: See even he says it's not a joke

Raelynn: Your face.

Zayden: No stabbing, Tall... But also no stabbing Tal, for anyone who gets an idea

Zayden: Ohh thanks Jilly!

Fives: Nah, that's just the way it looks.

Raelynn: That explains enough.

Raelynn: At least no one would think YOU were a pet.

Zayden: enjoys his jam with all his attention

Talwin: Side eyes Bran for only a second, wondering if she would issue a command in time to stop Talwin from bitch slapping Fives

Fives: Good. Glad to know the local idiocy doesn't extend *that* far.

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Daphene: I don't know, Rae. I've seen some unnatractive pets.

Raelynn: Be sure you don't take it as a compliment.

Daphene: thinking about Knotty

Talwin: Nevin? When did you say Jennivieve was coming back? Can I escort her?

Talwin: I think Fives needs to spend more time in her tender loving care

Kelly Ognorn: Brings out several plates of scones, muffins, and small plates for the planning session

Branwyn: Fives is prone to say the first thing that comes into his head. There is no need for violence but if you don'

Daphene: Do you think that's wise, Talwin?

Daphene: Considering your... interest in her

Branwyn: t don't like what he says you should tell him to be quiet

Daphene: Maybe you need a chaperone

Talwin: Slaps the side of his face

N'laea: Or ignore him. He'll shut up eventually.

Talwin: Would it work Bran?

Talwin: Hey Fives, you are insulting nice people. Shut up

Branwyn: Fives stop insulting my friends please

Fives: I only take order from Her Nibs. But if you don't want to talk to me, then don't. Won't hurt my feelings none.

Jilly Ognorn: Indigo you really should take charge of these rowdy people, they are too used to being on the road and not at the Manor anymore

Talwin: Waits to see if it works

Talwin: Wow

Indigo: Why me? I'm here for breakfast!

Jilly Ognorn: Because I will not give you any more scones if they do not behave

Daphene -> Raelynn: What does nibs mean?

Fives: nods curtly to Branwyn and sheathes his sword and goes back to looking at the ceiling.

Indigo: I learned how to drink better when I was away. I can show you at dinner!

Talwin: Well, if you ever get tired of that Lady Bran, I'd gladly hang him outside the tower window for a while

Talwin: Whispers

Jilly Ognorn: Kelly, no sneaking any behind my back either

Raelynn -> Daphene: I don't know, and I don't care to ask. He's rude!

Indigo: okay

Indigo: grabs two scones off the plate

Daphene -> Raelynn: Very much so! It's nice of Talwin to try to defend everyone though. Even if it is a little... rough

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Man, I don't remember fives being this bad before. It his alignment Nuetral Evil?)

Indigo: Everybody be nice!

Zayden: delightfully finished his bowl of jam and pats his belly in satisfaction

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Sorry, Lawful)

Raelynn -> Daphene: He's well meaning even if he's sometimes a little... unhinged.

LorieD (Licornah): :: gives up on discussion and goes back out in to the fields ::

N'laea: Let him be useful first.

Shislif (Zayden): I ike the way it tells you Act or Emoji when you ctrl or shift chat now

Daphene -> Raelynn: I thought that would get better after the creepy sword was gone?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Don't forget a Scone Licornah!

Shislif (Zayden): or OOC

Talwin: Wraps up a couple and jogs after her

Talwin: Hands them

Talwin: We did miss you. I'm glad you got back safetly

Raelynn -> Daphene: Hmm, it HAS improved... maybe we need to make sure? Pay more attention?

Talwin: Runs back to the dining room

Master TMO (Fives): (Fives is a work in progress, as i figure out how to work his personality properly. Remember, if I step over any lines, use the Stop button or let me know)

Licornah: :: turns :: Oh... thank you. Everyone looks well. Going back to tending the crops. WIth their expansion plans...they will need hearty crops

mharmon1 (Talwin): (No worries. Just can't seem to get a read on what he actually is)

mharmon1 (Talwin): (Not sure how to play)

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol it's fine)

Master TMO (Fives): (Bob knows. :) )

Talwin: Nods at Licornha

Master TMO (Fives): (play Talwin, and I'll play Fives. And it will go from there. :D )

Talwin: In this land?

Talwin: All the help they can get I'd say

Shislif (Zayden): Seems like he's been through a lot

Daphene -> Raelynn: Yes, one of us should probably keep an eye on him

Talwin: Any tips for growing what we can out here....it means the world to these people

Zayden: What are you growing Tal?

Talwin: Let me know if there's anything we can do to help you. Even if it's just issuing supply requisitions from the Protectorate

Talwin: Turns to Zayden

Raelynn -> Daphene: Oh! You should ask him to show you around! See what your gauge is on him and if he's sane now.

Talwin: Mostly food

Zayden: Waves to Tal

Zayden: Oh cool cool

Licornah: :: shrug :: There has been a lot of talk of building churches, shrines... buildings. All that means more people who will need food. We'll have to talk to farmers who know the land... they will know which crops make sense. My family are farmers at home, but that's not here

Talwin: But one of my one hundred plans these days is starting a small vineyard for the estate

Zayden: any interest in diversifying?

Raelynn -> Daphene: I'm not sure I'd believe it yet with my own eyes....

Daphene -> Raelynn: Hmm, I don't think he likes me much. Maybe if you suggested it?

Talwin: Nods

Raelynn -> Daphene: I can do that!

Talwin: Nonetheless, if you need anything, just let us know

Daphene -> Raelynn: Great! If it works, I'll report back to you with my findings

Talwin: I know nothing of tgrowth of food. My specialty is combat

Raelynn -> Daphene: Wonderful!

Licornah: :: nod :: My deity doesn't require a church or a shrine, just outdoors and those who will follow her path.

Craigh: whispers to Branwyn, "Is he at least being useful? Sorry, personality wasn't on my shopping list."

Talwin: But an army moves on it's stomach

Zayden: Maybe some pipeweed? For a friend...

Youtargim: Comes in to breakfast late

Raelynn: Oh! Talwin! Maybe you can show Daphene around, too? She might have ideas, too.

Talwin: Excelletn Idea Rae

Licornah: :: waves :: Talk to you later :: wanders off lost in thought again ::

Daphene: Oh, yes! I'd love a tour of the estate!

Talwin: Waves back. Come join us if you'd like to relax by the fire this evening!

Branwyn: smiles at Craigh

Talwin: Nods

Raelynn: Yout! You're late!

Youtargim: I was sparing with Tiberius

Zayden: Oh hey Yout!

Branwyn: He's been very useful and he entertains Jennevive

Youtargim: One day I might get the best of him

Craigh: That seems.... unlikely.

Talwin: Grunts

Master TMO (Craigh): (that was in response to Bran, not Yout)

Branwyn: If she were her, his focus would be more on her and less on the others here

Daphene: Wow, jealous much, Talwin?

Branwyn: She makes a good target

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): here

Talwin: Not really. More of Acknolwedgement from one expert to another.

Talwin: I've seen him fight

Talwin: No offense Yout

Talwin: Hurridly

Talwin: Speaks

Daphene: Maybe we could sit down and talk about this sometime. Your interest in Jenn seems... not in your best interest, so to speak

Youtargim: You only get better by testing your self against harder things

LorieD (Licornah): :: makes a mental note to see what Bixi might have brought back for planting, so incorporate into the crops ::

Talwin: At this rate, I'd have a night of fun with Jennieveve to get everyone to shut up about it

Talwin: Mumbles into his glass

Zayden: the ones not in your best interest can sometimes be in your best interst, if you know what i mean

Raelynn: gasps

Craigh: That's good then. I was worried for a moment.

Daphene: Oh no, that's a terrible idea

Raelynn: Oooh, I'd need to hear how that goes!

Youtargim: Who's interest in whom now?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Third base

Daphene: Rae, we need to look into this ASAP. I just can't see that being a match

Raelynn: Talwin into Jennevive? Or maybe Jenn into... um, well anything with legs?

GM: LOL Michael Quote

Raelynn: I'm not sure.

mharmon1 (Talwin): :)

Daphene: Talwin is our friend, we need to keep him safe

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

Raelynn: Was Jennevive that bad? I only met her that brief time in Dryads Lair.

Zayden: He's our friend, not our child

Youtargim: Who is this Jennevive? Have we met her before?

Talwin: Snorts at Zayden

Talwin: Tell that to Bixi

Daphene: She just seems...

N'laea: She mentioned a pirate so yes.

Daphene: predatory

Talwin: She IS predatory

N'laea: Predatory is a good description.

Zayden: oh my

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm sorry what?

Nevin Ognorn: Nods that is a very good description

Zayden: but you know, predators have feelings too

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

Raelynn: Ohh.... hmm... I mean I won't judge taste, but... Talwin, are you into predatory?

Bixi Fizzlebang: What are you insiuating, Talwin?

Shislif (Zayden): Watched Zootopia recently :)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol nice

Talwin: Well, I'm into mascocism it seems. What with the sword an all. What's a Sadist going to do, mentally tormet me more?

Raelynn: I mean I'll help my friends find love no matter their taste, but only if it's what you're into.

Raelynn: OH!

Raelynn: You're looking for a rebound!

Raelynn: That makes sense.

Talwin: How the hell did we get on this subject again?

Daphene: Ohhhh, because of losing your sword partner

Daphene: nods

Kelly Ognorn: Listens avidly

Daphene: He was very special to you, wasn't he?

Zayden: is sword partner slang?

Raelynn: Talwin, a rebound relationship can feel nice at first, but it can end badly, so make sure you're actually okay with that. Think this through carefully. I don't want you hurt.

LemonyLemon (Daphene): lol, zayden!

Shislif (Zayden): :)

Talwin: Hey, i'm sure she'll use me up and drop me like a wrung out rag. Can't be worse then that right?

Raelynn: Slang for Reven, I suppose?

Talwin: Wait a second

Raelynn: Talwin, you matter!

Talwin: Didn't Zayden just say that I'm your friend not your child?

Branwyn: Kelly, I think your mother wants you in the kitchen

Talwin: Zayden, distract everyone again

Raelynn: Don't let someone destroy you! I mean, unless you want that? But I don't think you do.

Talwin: Downs the last of his glass

Zayden: Hey everyone! Look at me!

Talwin: OH MY GODS

Kelly Ognorn: OH, sorry, yes Branwyn

Raelynn: Oh, love gets so complicated sometimes.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, yeah, and then you said tell that to Bixi and what does THAT mean????

Talwin: Drop this Topic

Zayden: dances like a silly child

Branwyn: smiles

Zayden: gets tired and stops for a rest

Talwin: I may need another drink, but I don't think there's enough I could get too before Jilly stabs me with a spoon

Raelynn: I will BUT only after reminding you I'm an expert on love, and I just want to make sure ytou take care of YOU first.

Talwin: Miserably

Talwin: Sigh

Talwin: Let's all take fifteen steps back

Bixi Fizzlebang: Are you calling me a child because I'm shorter than you all? Because I am an extremely average height! And that's racist!

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Talwin: Looks at Branwyn

Raelynn: is confused by Bixi's comment

Master TMO (Craigh): (Fives has infected the room. :) )

Talwin: You see what I had to put up with? Oh, and the glitter bomb! I mean, I like the Glitter lotion now, but the bomb sucked

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol

Raelynn: Oh, you do??? I'll make you more!!

Master TMO (Craigh): (she said threateningly)

Talwin: More lemon in the next batch please

Raelynn: I didn't think you'd actually use it...

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

Zayden: how does one become a love expert? Out of curiousity

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): awkward

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

GM: WOW

mharmon1 (Talwin): Vanilla?

Raelynn: By following a diety of love, usually.

Branwyn: I think Jennevive cast a chaos spell on the salon

mharmon1 (Talwin): Whatever

Talwin: I second that

Raelynn: Hannali is Goddess of Love.

Zayden: oh ok

Talwin: Jilly! We need you to return order to this house!

Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean, you can have more Lemon... to a point. I DO have a husband...

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc

Raelynn: I mean maybe there are other ways? But it's my literal priesthood!

Zayden: So is there a school of love people go to?

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

GM: LOL Lemon

Zayden: Oh! Maybe you could start a School of Love Rae

Raelynn: Um, well no but if I open a tea shop it'll be like that? Relationship advice and matchmaking and such!

Zayden: That could be fun

GM: Who is not a serial killer we presume

mharmon1 (Talwin): Bob don't help

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

Zayden: Oh that sounds nice Rae

Raelynn: Yes! That's close to what I'm doing! Thank you for the vote of confidence!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The husband is differant than the ex!

mharmon1 (Talwin): snort

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I also presume he's not a serial killer

seyfert (Raelynn): But it's always the husband!

GM: Who are we to judge

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But... I mean, anything's possible

Zayden: Of course, When you open up shop I'll be first in line

mharmon1 (Talwin): I'm doing a lot of juding at the moment....

mharmon1 (Talwin): :D

Zayden: Unless it's early

Raelynn: I'll save a spot for you! We can do afternoon tea.

Zayden: I'll definately be there on the first day though

Zayden smiles

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Look, Michael, you asked for more Lemon, and this is Lemon

Raelynn: Or if you find that... coffee? Was it? Maybe I'd like that, too?

Raelynn: smiles

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL!

Raelynn: Thank you!

Jilly Ognorn: Walks in to clear the tables

Shislif (Zayden): lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): You keep doing it Lemon haha

Jilly Ognorn: Moves everything off of every flat surface

seyfert (Raelynn): always be careful what you wish for

Jilly Ognorn: Looks around at the space

Shislif (Zayden): ohhh good storyline for Zay next season, the search for coffee :)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yes. Especially when it involves me

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm definitely that tricky genie

Jilly Ognorn: NOW

seyfert (Raelynn): yes! maybe that can be he comfort of hgome quest - coffee and/or coffee replacement

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Who's like, "you THOUGHT you asked for this, but what your'e really getting is THISSSS"

Jilly Ognorn: You all will be quiet and listen to what Branwyn has found out

Indigo: No one has any swords out

Bixi Fizzlebang: That seems unlikely

Shislif (Zayden): lol I like it!

Raelynn: But we were just catching up.

Jilly Ognorn: That is a good thing Rae

Talwin: Sits up Straight and attempts to wipe the sour look of his face

Jilly Ognorn: and Tomorrow morning I am certain that Nevin will have a task for you at the morning meeting

Zayden: So Jilly, what are we gonna do with all these empty tables?

Jilly Ognorn: Unless you listen to Branwyn now

Indigo: For who?

Licornah: :: wanders in from the fields :: Sits near Bixi -- let's chat later about what you've been gather, so we can plant some here ?

Raelynn: Fine fine... as if we're children....

Jilly Ognorn: For everyone

Taps a spoon on the table

Indigo: What if we already have a task?

Jilly Ognorn: Branwyn has the floor

Zayden: Nice spooning Jilly!

Bixi Fizzlebang: Sounds good! I'm not sure how well this stuff will grow in the mist, it might be nice to partner up!

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not a child just because I'm smaller than you!

Zayden: Bixi is actually very wise

Licornah: :: looks at her :: Who said that? Odd....

Daphene: No, that's Lanek

Jilly Ognorn: I had heard that Lanek was the new wise man

Licornah: Knowledge comes in all shapes and sizes

Jilly Ognorn: When he gets back from the lighthouse and reporting in with Ilero we will ask him

Zayden: There's enough wisdom to go around Jilly

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes, THANK YOU Licornah.

Jilly Ognorn: Branwyn?

Branwyn: There really isn't that big of a rush

Branwyn: No need to force order upon this lovely bit of chaos

Fives: burps.

Raelynn: It IS lovely chaos, isn't it?

Kelly Ognorn: Quietly brings in flat breads and olives

Branwyn: The house has been so quiet lately

Zayden: Want to throw a party Bran?

Branwyn: Perhaps after hell

Craigh: chuckles.

Zayden: I feel like we should party before hell actually

Branwyn: That sounds like a very good idea

Branwyn: laughs

Craigh: Usually when someone says something like that, it means 'No.' Here she might be literal.

Zayden: and after, of course

Zayden: I mean, it is Hell

Youtargim: We are really going there?

Branwyn: I'm not sure

Zayden: Are we all going?

Talwin: We have your back no matter what

Talwin: Matter of factly

Branwyn: Jenn has gotten two gate scrolls that will open the portal to hell

Talwin: Of course she has

Talwin: drly

Zayden chuckles

Branwyn: We can do it at the Inn and she is working right now to amke sure she can anchor it to the library itself

Talwin: Nods

Talwin: What about the safety of the inn?

Zayden: Did she get approval from the librarians?

Branwyn: That means we can open it right there and not have to wander around

Zayden: They take that stuff seriously

Branwyn: So the idea is perhaps using the book at the portal as bait and see what comes out to us

Branwyn: If this doesn't work I may need to go in

Zayden: Oh sure invite a demon into our world that's a good idea

Fives: Devil!

Branwyn: The problem is time. The time spent in hell is relative to your mindset

Talwin: Eyes Zayden Warningly, but doesn't contractict his words. Clearly, is worried

N'laea: It wouldn't be the first.

Youtargim: Might we get a Djinn to handle it for you?

Fives: Demons are different!

Zayden Eyes Talwin in return, and winks

Talwin: Rolls his eyes, but gives a tiny grin back

N'laea: As long as the one baiting knows, that is what matters.

Branwyn: I'm not sure a representative could return the book AND get my demon hunt mark off me

Youtargim: Does anyone really know what time it is there?

mharmon1 (Talwin): Does it matter?

Talwin: Does it matter?

Talwin: Shrugs

LorieD (Licornah): (ughhh... Chicago???)

Youtargim: Does anyone really care?

Raelynn: How would a djinn help?

Talwin: If frame of mind is what matters, that is what we should attempt to focus

Branwyn: Jenn says that for some, they never return, others years or decades, and others mere minutes

Zayden: I think in Hell it's always 5am

mharmon1 (Talwin): It's five oclock somewhere

mharmon1 (Talwin): It's just AM for hell :)

Shislif (Zayden): lol

Branwyn: Jenn says we could charm anyone who wants to go in to focus. That would have to be a personal choice

Zayden: in the library?

Talwin: Shrugs

Youtargim: Some of us have already been charmed

Fives: I'd get someone other than Her to cast it on ya.

Talwin: I have no magical protections but I'd gladly go in

Youtargim: winks at Rae

Shislif (Zayden): brb refill

Raelynn: blows him a kiuss

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Talwin: I take it mr Fives is referring to Jenn?

Branwyn: I am not going to be gone longer than a minute. I refuse to lose years to this task and am confident that shall take me through

Nevin Ognorn: Do you think we should evacuate the Inn

Talwin: Confidently

Talwin: You'll do it no problem at all

Talwin: Just like all the other crap

Branwyn: I don't believe we can. Other than guests.

Bixi Fizzlebang: We can't evacuate Gerry

Nevin Ognorn: Nods

Bixi Fizzlebang: We should try to protect him however we can, though

Talwin: I agree

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... if he dies, can I have a garden in the sunshine?

Frowns at Bixi

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't want him to die!

Branwyn: Of course we will protect him.

Bixi Fizzlebang: But like... if he does, I want dibs.

Talwin: Bixi, Let's not talk about him like he's already dead

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't want the whole inn, just a little patch of garden

Branwyn: if the portal is outside and we are outside we will make sure nothing enters the inn

Nevin Ognorn: The second most valuable place in the Estate will not be decided by "dibs"

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes, I mean, ideally he will not be harmed in any way whatsoever.

Bixi Fizzlebang: I love Gerry

Bixi Fizzlebang: But just in case

Licornah: Gerry will be safer away from here. Otherwise, he might be a casualty ... HE doesn't have to go far

Bixi Fizzlebang: I want to get my request in early

Talwin: Well, I know you kind of like me, have you already called dibs on my office?

Raelynn: Maybe not dibs, but Bixi helped create the inn so she has some sway, yes?

Bixi Fizzlebang: I didn't know you had an office, but no, i have no use for an office

N'laea: He cannot leave the inn. He'll disappear.

Branwyn: Bixi did not create the inn

Nevin Ognorn: There is the Manor, then the Lost Eagle, then Otterville and Foriso Town, then Skull Church and the rest of Hourglass

Raelynn: No no not the inn, but she helped give it sunshine.

Branwyn: Ummm ....

Bixi Fizzlebang: I mean, after we get back, I intend to ask Gerry myself for a little garden plot

Bixi Fizzlebang: And if he says no, I will totally respect that

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): wasn't it always out of the mist?

Talwin: Is there history that I missed when the inn was created?

Talwin: It was sunny when we were there

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): it was time travelling

seyfert (Raelynn): (Rae is referring to when we investigated the haunted inn and then Snee destroyed the hourglass)

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Not until the hourglass was broken?

seyfert (Raelynn): (it was in the Mist as a "haunted inn")

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I wasn't there for the hourglass breaking, though

GM: It was always sunny in the Lost Eagle....

Fives: is now listening

mharmon1 (Talwin): So was philadelphia

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): groan lol

mharmon1 (Talwin): lol

seyfert (Raelynn): (in the past....)

mharmon1 (Talwin): FAR! past

seyfert (Raelynn): (and now future(?))

Talwin: Shrugs

Branwyn: Anyway, anyone "taking" the Inn would have to make it their full time occupation and could not run off for months at a time adventuring

seyfert (Raelynn): (ugh I don't know, too fried to remember to try to set facts right now)

Bixi Fizzlebang: I wouldn't want the inn, not at all

Talwin: Well, frankly you would be appointing someone Bran, so it's kind of besides the point

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not trying to suggest I take it over, if the event should arise that someone need to

Raelynn: Or, um, we just make sure Gerry doesn't die and this is a non-point.

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yes, that's my preference

Branwyn: And if someone wants a garden there and would want to deal with Mist sickness possibilities every time they leave it, that is fine as long as Gerry agrees

Talwin: I will make you a garden Bixi! It will be a big garden and I will find a way to make it sunlight. Moving right along

Master TMO (Fives): that sounds so romantic

mharmon1 (Talwin): Sigh

Bixi Fizzlebang: But IF he doesn't make it... I'm just planning for possibilities!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi is not a serial killer!

mharmon1 (Talwin): I swear you guys spend more time making Talwin want to gouge his own eyes out

GM: ANd Talwin stumbles upon greenhouses with continual light on the roof

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That woudl be amazing, Talwin

Master TMO (Fives): that then try to eat him

Bixi Fizzlebang: That woudl be amazing, Talwin

mharmon1 (Talwin): See! A voice from above gave an answer!

Talwin: Sighs

Bixi Fizzlebang: I would never be able to make it up to you if you were able to do that

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

Talwin: If an artifact can make the inn, i'm sure there are others out there that can replicate a similar effect

Talwin: But one challenge at a time

Bixi Fizzlebang: Free fresh produce for life!

Zayden: oh nice

Daphene: I would help you find a way to make it worthwhile. As my duty as your... whatever.

mharmon1 (Talwin): kind of walked into that one

mharmon1 (Talwin): sigh

Zayden: free pipe-weed for life would be nice too, just saying

Tiberius Branadarus: Slides in and wraps his arms around Branwyn

mharmon1 (Talwin): Nods

Talwin: Nods

Branwyn: Hello love

Talwin: Nods

Tiberius Branadarus: It is nice to have noise again

Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't know about free, but I'm sure we can work out a deal, Zayden

Talwin: Lord Brandarsus

Talwin: I hear Yout was having some fun?

Zayden: Sounds good Bix!

Branwyn: How far away were you when you heard it?

Tiberius Branadarus: He did well, his sommersault almost worked

Bixi Fizzlebang: Maybe barter for good music or jokes

Tiberius Branadarus: Whispers to Branwyn, it was a joyous noise

Zayden: pipe-weed, music, and jokes go together like stars and clouds in the sky

Tiberius Branadarus: He will maybe be able to pull that off sometime

Talwin: Ponders his empty glass sadly

Tiberius Branadarus: I am going to need your help Bixi, Indigo and ummmm who are you? (looking at Daphene)

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yout was doing somersaults?

Tiberius Branadarus: I need three little people to help train the kids

Branwyn: That is Daphene. A follower of Bixi's. A ranger

Tiberius Branadarus: five oru six would be better

Bixi Fizzlebang: EXCUSE ME?

Tiberius Branadarus: OH

Zayden: "Little PeopleJ"?

Tiberius Branadarus: A ranger would be great

Tiberius Branadarus: I am teaching the kids how to fight goblins

Daphene: Not a very good ranger

Talwin: Walked right into that one

Talwin: Mumbles under his breath

Branwyn: People that would be similar in height to the children

Tiberius Branadarus: it is hard for me to do that they need someone smaller more goblin sized

Talwin: Goblin?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, pass

Tiberius Branadarus: We are going to go fight goblins

Zayden: wouldn't it be better to fight giant goblins instead? That way regular sized goblins would be no big deal

Craigh: pretends to be checking his notepad.

Daphene: Um, I would but I'm going to be really busy getting a tour from Talwin

Talwin: pretends to also be checking Craig's notepad

Talwin: pretends to also be checking Craig's notepad

Zayden: I would, but I really rather not

Tiberius Branadarus: I thought it would be a good way of distracting them from their mother's other fighting she has planned

Indigo: I'll help

mharmon1 (Talwin): LOL

mharmon1 (Talwin): I love Zayden so much

mharmon1 (Talwin): Holy crap

Shislif (Zayden): lolthx :)

Tiberius Branadarus: Thank you Indigo

Tiberius Branadarus: You will be the goblin king

Daphene: There surely are better distractions out there

Indigo: Maybe we can get Kenna if no one here will help

Tiberius Branadarus: But we will have to keep you to only one sword

Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, let them hang out with Zayden. They'll be distracted plenty

Indigo: They would rather go to hell than fight your kids

Indigo: laughs

Tiberius Branadarus: LAUGHS

'LorieD' disconnected

Tiberius Branadarus: Maybe I did train them too well

Zayden: Hanging out with the children is fine, I just don't want to be beat up by children

Zayden: children can be surprisingly strong

'LorieD' connected

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): yeah and bixi is very squishy

Tiberius Branadarus: Quick

Zayden: what?

Youtargim: You have to try it Zayden

Youtargim: They are .... really fast

Youtargim: Not great, but fast

Zayden: What are yout?

Indigo: It's just sparring. Not a fight to the death or anything

Youtargim: HAH! Tell that to the kids!

Indigo: laughs again

Zayden: Yes kids take imagination very seriously

Craigh: Meh. There's priests here. I'm sure there are healing spells.

Zayden: I would provide some background music to the affair though

Fives: Meh. There's priests here. I'm sure there are healing spells.

Youtargim: My dagger ended up in the moat

Zayden: weird

Master TMO (Fives): (wrong character again)

Talwin: The Moat?

Zayden: But ok, I'll go, I don't have other plans, could be fun

Tiberius Branadarus: But Youtargim beats them at figures every time

Zayden: It's ok the hit the children back yes?

Talwin: Stifles a laugh just barely

Tiberius Branadarus: Even Dahlia cannot keep up with his math

Raelynn: Figures?

Tiberius Branadarus: You need to hit them, they will know if you are holding back

Zayden: Will do!

MadamePsychosis (Indigo): lol

Tiberius Branadarus: Nevin you should talk with Youtargim about the books for the Estate, he showed me how I was losing gold

Youtargim: It was only a speculation

Raelynn: Oh, those "figures"

Youtargim: I returned it back to him afterwards

Nevin Ognorn: Raises an eyebrow

Youtargim: So I got restless and went out walking

Tiberius Branadarus: Early mornign drills are the best

Tiberius Branadarus: Right Indigo?

Indigo: Not that early

Tiberius Branadarus: Right when the sun comes up, the light plays tricks on you

Licornah: No, no he does not...

Fives: Oh hell no!

Jilly Ognorn: If the two of them agree, then you know you are in trouble Zayden

Raelynn: I don't need one, but thank you for checking, Zayden!

Youtargim: Blows a kiss

Shislif (Zayden): have a good night!

LorieD (Licornah): (Good night.. )

Zayden: hmm

LorieD (Licornah): (It's getting to be the witching hour for me as well..)

Raelynn: I don't think he's ever lost his cool. He's probably fine.,

Youtargim: They did not like it this morning when I picked up the wrong polearm

Zayden: they get this is volunteer right?

Youtargim: Is it really?

Youtargim: Looks over at Jilly

Raelynn: Maybe Jilly will be there to whap them with their spoon if they heckle too much?

Jilly Ognorn: Nods,

Zayden: Thank you Jilly I'd appreciate that

Jilly Ognorn: Zayden, if you are not able to perform it is perfectly ok

Zayden: don't hold back either

Zayden smiles

Zayden: I'll do my best Jilly

Jilly Ognorn: Rae will be able to help you find someone who can loosen you up

Raelynn: Happily!

Zayden: Well now we're talking

Raelynn: Hmm, although I know more in Loosend for that, but I've met people here...

Zayden: what kind of people?

GM: For Lorie before you leave, you did get the Guide to Hell?

LorieD (Licornah): (I did... thank you)

GM: also for Sharif as well,

Raelynn: Oh, you tell me and I'm sure I can find someone of interest.

GM: Carissa you saw that earlier right?

Raelynn: No

Shislif (Zayden): Uhhhh I may need to look it up again

Shislif (Zayden): that in the discord?

seyfert (Raelynn): If you meant today or yesterday, definitely not

GM: Here in FG

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Dang, I missed Michael leaving but belated goodnight!

LorieD (Licornah): Menus --> Library --> Select book to add (Guide to Hell)

GM: You go to Books and Load which ever books you have not loaded

seyfert (Raelynn): Good to know

GM: and thank you Lorie

Raelynn: I'll do that another time

GM: Guide to Hell is there for you to learn from

seyfert (Raelynn): I don't load all of them. That slows FG down sometimes

GM: all the details that Fives gave the group

Shislif (Zayden): did it!

GM: I think I fixed that too Carissa

Shislif (Zayden): oh ok

Zayden: cool

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, my old computer could not handle it. The new one is magic though

Shislif (Zayden): OOC

Shislif (Zayden): ohhh new computer?

Shislif (Zayden): gaming computer?

GM: Also for TMO yes you can have any and all of the Guild there at the Manor house as you want over the next few sessions, so sharpen up Ilero's accent

Master TMO (Fives): Okay then

Master TMO (Fives): sorry...

GM: grisn

GM: Sharif, TMO retired his previous character. He runs a thieves guild in Foriso Town with the lighthouse on the eastern edge of the Estate

Master TMO (Fives): should I bring in Brer and Marisu too? ;)

GM: That would be fun TMO as you wish

GM: Marisu is the Countess of her Estate now

Shislif (Zayden): oh cool

GM: Also Carissa has Shi

Master TMO (Fives): you never have told me what happened to her afterward. :P

LorieD (Licornah): (Okay.... night all)

Shislif (Zayden): night!

GM: Have a great nigth Lorie

seyfert: si

'LorieD' disconnected

seyfert: for...whatever we're talking about

seyfert: I'm tired and lost track

GM: The very large number of characters floating around that might be helpful in Book Return

Shislif (Zayden): What his name again? Tmo's retired character?

GM: Ilero

GM: also Brer

Shislif (Zayden): oh right cool

GM: also .....

Master TMO (Fives): Ilero Sauscha; Shurkural; Marisu Doeskin; Brer Necholas. :D

GM: grins there is a list

Shislif (Zayden): lotta characters!

GM: Along with a talkign squirrel

Master TMO (Fives): Although Shur and Marisu were secondaries

Master TMO (Fives): Ilero was the main PC

GM: Spring has two other characters too

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, wait, Bixi is supposed to have a racoon companion or something

Master TMO (Fives): The squirrel never really got introduced

GM: Bixi can go find and meld with her after Hell is finished

seyfert: think I will also head out while y'all figure this out

seyfert: Night!

GM: Or it can be Knotty

GM: night Carissa

'seyfert' disconnected

Master TMO (Fives): g'nite!

Zayden: night!

Master TMO (Fives): (I missed everone else's exits. :( )

GM: Many Many possibilities

MadamePsychosis: We're done for?

GM: They are all in the chat log for people to see

GM: I think so

MadamePsychosis: I was reading hell book

GM: Good

GM: Interesting?

MadamePsychosis: very

MadamePsychosis: but personally

MadamePsychosis: Branwyn just wants to give the book back

GM: Nods

MadamePsychosis: :)

GM: That is the goal

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Somehow I feel like it won't be that easy

GM: Open gate, librarian appears, gives you a return slip in exhange for the book, close portal done

MadamePsychosis: the thing is if people want a plan they will have to make one

MadamePsychosis: I just don't see how to plan for evil chaos

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): My attention is also fading though, so I think I'm also going to head out

GM: Night Lemon

MadamePsychosis: we open the portal, wave the book around and see what comes out or if we go in

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Goodnight friends!

MadamePsychosis: Goodnight Lemon

GM: ANd that is the thing Lisa

Shislif (Zayden): yes my attention also getting tired lol

'LemonyLemon' disconnected

Shislif (Zayden): oh btw though

Master TMO: you just gotta plan the best you can for just about anything. :)

Shislif (Zayden): I'll be off next friday so I should be able to play the whole sessin

GM: have a great night Sharif, and go post stories

GM: Excellent!

MadamePsychosis: good news!

Master TMO: g'nite Lemon

MadamePsychosis: Have a great week and goodnight al

Shislif (Zayden): yes I am determined for this weekend!

MadamePsychosis: all

GM: I think the key "plans" are opening the portal

Shislif (Zayden): night :)

GM: Who to summon

'Shislif' disconnected

Master TMO: Who or What?

GM: How to deal with the misc devils and ilk who come out to explore

GM: While you wait for the librarian

MadamePsychosis: yes

GM: Then complete the transactions

MadamePsychosis: we need people who would not go in protect the outside while portal is open

MadamePsychosis: and people if needed who would jump in

GM: I see this as one or two sessions to prepare things, set up spells, etc.

GM: Exactly that Lisa

GM: orgainize who goes in when

MadamePsychosis: if everyone goes in then the gate is open and the outside is not protected

GM: then when we do this we start off with a fresh session, and run it round by round over two maybe three sessions so everyone gets the chance to act

GM: That is one of the reasons I wanted this new map

GM: For that Lisa

GM: Everyone can see where everything is clearly

MadamePsychosis: it is nice

GM: and Rae does need a place for her fortune telling

GM: and you deserved a nice new map too

GM: have to put this and Otsuan on the site

MadamePsychosis: thanks

MadamePsychosis: ok I am off

MadamePsychosis: stay dry

GM: Have a great night

MadamePsychosis: you too

GM: is fine here now

GM: Night TMO

Master TMO: I don't mind if you call in any of my old character's Lisa, if that's something you want to do. But I'm also okay with just Fives and maybe Craigh as well.

GM: might need that talk with Ilero about custody again

MadamePsychosis: Up to you. I would love your characters to come in but don't want to overload you

Master TMO: off the cuff, what are the odds Ilero has either found or had made another Hand?

GM: Once we get to the actual event, it will be a step by step thing so I have no doubt both of you can handle a bunch of characters

GM: and no real chance about a new hand, that is a rare item

'MadamePsychosis' disconnected

Master TMO: Don't worry about overloading me Lisa. Have Bran call in anyone she wants to. If you want to do any of those discussions on Discord, we can.

GM: She just left

Master TMO: no worries

GM: It will be here for her to see tomorrow

GM: have a great night

Master TMO: you too
