MadamePsychosis: Hi Spring! All good here. How are you?

GM: Hello Lisa

MadamePsychosis: Hello :)

springdew: tired, per the usual. hi Lisa!

MadamePsychosis: sorry for that *hugs*

springdew: i do have a proper monitor though, so i don't have to struggle with laptop screen or projector. i did last week too, but it was too crazy to mention

springdew: it was a huge help being able to, you know, see

MadamePsychosis: seeing is a good thing!

GM: smiles

springdew: if i ever find out where to put feature requests, i'm going to request a way to change font size of text without changed everydoggonething on the screen

GM: I can get you that link just a moment Spring

springdew: thanks!!

GM: Here you go Spring: (LINK)

springdew: oh hey thanks!

GM: That is the link to the Idea Informer

GM: Where they take all suggestions

springdew: we are doing a shift change so i'll be quiet for a bit

GM: No worries

MadamePsychosis: I updated Home Base and let loose what I am willing to

GM: Nice

MadamePsychosis: Not the daggers - no one can take daggers

GM: Can you go to Branwyn's sheet and see if you can update her XP

GM: and LAUGHS

Branwyn: I shouldn't be allowed to update my own XP ...

'LorieD' connected

GM: Chuckles

GM: But can you Apply it?

Branwyn: yes I guess so

GM: From my side it does not look like it

MadamePsychosis: 'Branwyn' applied '1650' experience to Mage.

GM: There you go

GM: Hey Lorie

MadamePsychosis: that is what I saw after clicking the apply button

GM: and no to Lisa

GM: Sorry now yes

GM: I refreshed

GM: that is good

MadamePsychosis: Hi Lorie :)

LorieD: Evening all -- Happy Friday - or as I have called it, 5th Monday :)

'seyfert' connected

GM: I have not given out the XP for Book Return encounters, and the story arc and Era bonus

GM: nice Lorie

GM: and Welcome Carissa

LorieD: Hey Carissa

MadamePsychosis: Hi Carissa :)

seyfert: Hi all! Bit of a load time today.

springdew: hi Lorie! hi Carissa!

GM: New things Carissa

GM: Hope this is the only time

LorieD: Hey Spring - how are you? How are the kids?

seyfert: Yeah yeah as long as it doesn't always take that long

seyfert: exactly

springdew: both my progeny are moving into apartments this week.. it's exciting. they both are in the greater Denver metro, so it'll be easier to visit them

GM: Nice

LorieD: Congrats to both of them :) and hooray for centralized visits!

springdew: and now i have a nice cache of flyer miles, that will make it easier too

springdew: and one of my closest friends from utah is living part time in Denver, so bonus

MadamePsychosis: great!

LorieD: That all sounds awesome :)

GM: a very nice convergance

springdew: at that link BOB gave me, there are a couple of suggestions already on the board about font size. if you create an account and log in, you can vote for them

GM: When Carissa is back

seyfert: I'm here

GM: I do think the four of you are the ones for tonight

GM: until Lemon in an hour or more

seyfert: No pressure

MadamePsychosis: kinda pressure

seyfert: lol

GM: smile

springdew: hahaha

springdew: i think we are done at work saying hi and bye and all that. just need to grab a food

Howard Plum: in a corner at the Inn with Howard wrapping Johan's body for transport home

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): with Branwyn

Howard Plum: You aren't going to bring Johan back?

seyfert (Raelynn): (lag)

Jennevive: I am sorry you lost him

Jennevive: I can bring him back if you want

Raelynn: We lost Craigh, too.

Branwyn: No. Johan has lived a long life and his death was not an accident or a mistake of some sort. He died a hero and I think that is deserving of peace for him

Branwyn: looks up at Raelynn in shock

Jennevive: Nods that is a worthy death

Branwyn: I am well aware of that Raelynn. I can only handle one dead body at a time

Raelynn: Oh, I know, I just...

Jennevive: For Craigh I am not certain he deserves to return?

Raelynn: Sorry.

Licornah: :: looks around :: did anyone else see that unicorn over there? I turned around.. and poof everything else happened

Raelynn: I can do rite if you want. I was already think...

Raelynn: shrugs to Jennevive's question

Lanek Olenak: harrumphs

Jennevive: You lost Craigh, Johan, and who else?

Branwyn: Why would he not deserve to return?

Jennevive: I take it your other devil friend is dead?

Raelynn: Deserves? That's a weird way to put it. It's a question if he wants to.

springdew (Lanek Olenak): the harrumph was supposed to be about the unicorn but now i think it should be about Jenn deciding who deserves things

Branwyn: finishes caring for Johan's wrappings and stands up

seyfert (Raelynn): (or all the things, lol)

Licornah: :: blinks :: I'm so sorry... for the loss.

Jennevive: I do not know your friend Craigh, but I knew Johan and he did good things, he would continue to do them if he was brought back

Jennevive: You would have to say if Craigh deserves such an honor

Branwyn: Fives was taken into Hell Jenn. I need to search for him when we are finsihed with the pressing needs here

Lanek Olenak: scowling

Jennevive: He was not there when I was there, and I was there shortly after he went there

Branwyn: And Craigh has travelled with the group and helped and risked his life numerous times for us

Jennevive: You know best Branwyn

Jennevive: I will assist as you need

Jennevive: hands over a large iron coin with a triangle cut in the middle,

Branwyn: Thank you. I am not sure if that is what he wants though and don't want to make that mistake again

Jennevive: This is for your favor from your Demon

Branwyn: looks at the coin and turns it over

Raelynn: We can ask him when we have time for it. Maybe he'll tell us.

Branwyn: How does it work?

GM: Was that directed at Rae? that is what I thought

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): was about the coin

GM: OH

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): Jenn just put it in her hand

MadamePsychosis (Howard Plum): she knows how speak with dead works

seyfert (Raelynn): Rae definitely doesn't know about the coin, and Bran know splenty about speaking to dead

Jennevive: I think this is something along the lines of a summoning agent, which would not work in The Mist

Howard Plum: I'm not sure I need to try to open a gate to the Abyss after opening one to Hell

Branwyn: I'm not sure I need to try to open a gate to the Abyss after opening one to Hell

Branwyn: But thank you?

Jennevive: I am not sure you need to open a gate

Branwyn: smiles

Jennevive: Just use it as a focus

Branwyn: Hopefully I shall need it.

Jennevive: But I will admit that I am not certain how it would work and the chaos it would create would be interesting

Branwyn: laughs

Branwyn: I don't know what I would do if you had not come back to make me laugh

Jennevive: Warm smile I am glad I made it back

Branwyn: Let us see to Craigh and then I want us to sit down and you can tell us what happened to you in Hell

Branwyn: Raelynn, do you want to try and see what Craigh would want?

Jennevive: How many years do you have?

Raelynn: I can do that.

Branwyn: The short version?

Branwyn: Thank you Raelynn

Jennevive: If I did not have a focus that you gave me, my guess is I would return a decade from now

Branwyn: Strength of mind is everything. It is a force

Jennevive: Grins, yes it is

Jennevive: Tell me about Craigh,

Jennevive: I might be able to help if I know more about who he was

Raelynn: Brave, talkative, he liked making books! Umm, one armed, and I never got a chance to get him drunk.

Branwyn: He would tell you he was an archivist and book binder

Branwyn: And he was ... but he also had a hint of Ilero in him. The sneakiness

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): smiles

Branwyn: He began mage studies but stopped for some unfathomable reason

Branwyn: shakes her head

Branwyn: He had a dry sense of humor that I appreciated but was always helpful and there for the group when needed

Branwyn: He never felt sorry for himself and you could almost forget that he didn't have the use of both arms

Branwyn: I liked him and he was a good man. If he wishes to come back then it would be well woth the effort

Raelynn: And he took on Bixi for an apprentice! Because he likes teaching.

Jennevive: These all sound like he was a strong centered person

Branwyn: That is true

Jennevive: Who wants to speak with him?

Jennevive: Do you want me to?

Raelynn: I can cast. You've probably had a long... er, day? Not day? Trip?

Branwyn: I thought Raelynn wanted to

Raelynn: And if that fails, there's always a seance! But we probably don't need that right now.

Raelynn: Do you want me to just ask if he wants to come back to us, Branwyn?

Branwyn: yes and perhaps how he would like to come back if he does

Raelynn: nods

Raelynn: All right, let's see what he says....

Branwyn: If he wishes to come back then there will be plenty of time to speak with him later

seyfert (Raelynn): (3 questions w/ spell)

Branwyn: hopefully

Raelynn: [CAST] Speak With Dead

Raelynn: [SAVE VS] Speak With Dead

Raelynn: Hello Craigh! I hope death didn't hurt too much. We would like to know if you want to come back to us here on our plane that you just left?

Craigh: I am enjoying my return to the Elflands, it is allowing me to explore my magic again

Raelynn: Would you like to stay there?

Branwyn: thinks, he went to the Elflands?

Craigh: I wish I could grow my magic, I cannot do that here

Raelynn: looks to Branwyn for a last question

seyfert (Raelynn): (I'm thinking he wants to stay dead?)

GM: You can ask and you can cast again

Branwyn: If you could reincarnate and try to be the mage you could be, would you?

Raelynn: Craigh, if you could reincarnate and try to be the mage you could be, would you want to try that?

Branwyn: thinks to herself, it takes a fireball to get you to want to grow in your magic capabilities?

seyfert (Raelynn): LOL

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): could have done that a long time ago

seyfert (Raelynn): the magic of fireballs

Craigh: If I could be an apprentice mage to Branwyn that would be a chance at achieving greatness

Raelynn: looks at Branwyn as the spell ends.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): really?

seyfert (Raelynn): (well a spot did just open...)

seyfert (Raelynn): (sorry probably too soon again)

GM: chuckles

Branwyn: Sounds like he wishes to come back in another form

Raelynn: You think so? Can he not work on being a mage as he was?

'LemonyLemon' connected

Branwyn: Is that possible with the people we have here at Dragon Fen?

Branwyn: It would be more difficult I believe

N'laea: Reincarnation? You would have to ask Shi.

N'laea: But it is what the fates decide, not the soul.

GM: Hello Lemon

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Bob - can he do better to change in reincarnate or resurrection?

GM: Reincarnate will give him a new form with new stats

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): as Craigh he was kinda stuck in 1st lvl

seyfert (N'laea): badger badger badger

GM: and he would be a (possibly/likely) in a form that can go up in level as a mage

seyfert (N'laea): But Bob did state he'd make sure it'd be something playable by the player

GM: He would come back as X level and then use the library to learn his new spells

LorieD (Licornah): (Evening Lemon! Happy Birthday to Mr. Lemon :) )

seyfert (N'laea): Hi Lemon!

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hello!

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): Hi Lemon!

seyfert (N'laea): so we can do reincarnate, but it'll have to be a day thing... it's like a ceremony and would need some uplift

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): and I'm guess that's what TMO said when BOB cast Speak With TMO?

seyfert (N'laea): which with Kenna's church and our PCs, doable, but again - it's an all day spell sorta deal

seyfert (N'laea): LOL

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): how much time before casting is essential?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): our priests could get mist sick when leaving

seyfert (Shi'Nynze): looking....

LorieD (Licornah): (a week)

seyfert (Shi'Nynze): one day per experience level so yes roughly a week

LorieD (Licornah): if death occurred no more than one week before the casting of the spell.

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): good so we can go home and not have it be a total emergency - with Shi and Kenna already in the Mist, etc

seyfert (Shi'Nynze): yes and can be cast in the Mist I'd think since it's not divination or anything

LorieD (Licornah): (it's a necro spell)

springdew (Lanek Olenak): hi Lemon!

seyfert (Shi'Nynze): Priest Book lists it as Animal, FG lists it as Necro

Branwyn: Gerry, I'm so happy the Inn was unharmed. I will replace the sheets you kindly lent. Can we all have drinks? I know I could use one

seyfert (Shi'Nynze): Neither of which are affected by the Mist and we've bought others back from the dead in the Mist before so should be fine

GM: Gerry nods and brings drinks

Branwyn: Thank you!

Branwyn: sinks into a chair with a glass of wine

Raelynn: When will you look for Fives?

Raelynn: I guess at least after one drink...

Gerry: That was a spectacle

Branwyn: As soon as I have had a drink and heard what happened to Jennevive

Raelynn: nods

Raelynn: It's just hard to relax when there's still lots to do.

Branwyn: Since when have you become so nagging Raelynn?

Gerry: I am sorry about Mr Johan

Raelynn: I'm not good at relaxing in situations like this.

Branwyn: Two dead men taken care of and one missing. I need a minute

Raelynn: ummm, not sure I've been in one like this before...

Lanek Olenak: long drink of beer

Youtargim: I think we should go look at the chickens Rae

Youtargim: We could look for eggs, and make sure they are matched up properly

Raelynn: Yeah.... maybe once I see that things are safe, I can relax? I just... don't feel safe yet.

Youtargim: where the roosters are not with too many hens

Lanek Olenak: fourteen

Branwyn: Thank you Gerry

Softly takes her hand and gently tugs to lead her away

Lanek Olenak: don't ask me how i know that but fourteen is the right number of hens for roosters

Raelynn: follows

Youtargim: You can come outside with the trees

Lanek Olenak: coughs

Raelynn: Nothing will sneak up on us? We're really safe and done with all that?

Lanek Olenak: per rooster

Jennevive: I would have thought that everyone around you was used to death by now? looking at Branwyn

Raelynn: Ugh, how horrible today has been...

Youtargim: I will make sure that no one sneaks up on you

Raelynn: nods and leans into him

Branwyn: No one I hope is too used to death

brings Rae into a HUG

Youtargim: It will be ok

Youtargim: We will make it so

Branwyn: It's wearing

Lanek Olenak: addresses his beer mug

Jennevive: You are better able to deal with it

Lanek Olenak: too few hens is a bigger prollem than too many

Branwyn: I don't know that Fives is dead and I just need a minute to move to the next issue

Lanek Olenak: long drink

N'laea: I'd think too many roosters would be more the concern.

Gerry: Brings Lanek a plate of potatoes

Branwyn: So tell us all what happened when you jumped ino the portal

Lanek Olenak: oh hey!

Jennevive: Gerry bring me the good wine

Lanek Olenak: digs into the potatoes

Jennevive: the ReALLY good wine,

Branwyn: Am I drinking the bad wine?

Branwyn: smiles

Jennevive: and if it it not the good stuff I will start eating your honey

N'laea: drinks a glass of water

Gerry: Harumphs

Gerry goes back behind the bar and brings out a purple bottle coated in dust

Gerry: Sets four glasses out for Branwyn, Licornah, Jenn, and Lanek

Pours out a small glass into each of a dark red wine

Gerry: This goes on your bill Aunt Jennevive

Branwyn: Thank you Gerry

Gerry: Looks at Branwyn, Sorry, I have been saving this for a celebration not a wake

Branwyn: And you Jennevive

Branwyn: I am sorry

Gerry: 600 year old

Gerry: Enjoy

Lanek Olenak: ooooo

Jennevive: THIS is a celebration

Lanek Olenak: looks like he might be in the wrong place

Jennevive: WE are alive

Jennevive: Lanek you drink that

Jennevive: It might actually make you smile

Jennevive: don't worry your friends can fix your face after you break it

Lanek Olenak: gives Jenn a dirty glare

seyfert (N'laea): lol

Lanek Olenak: i'll drink it to please Branwyn.

GM: Lemon Bixi is there at the Inn and can speak up when you want, she is just hanging in the corners right now of the Inn

Jennevive: Good

Branwyn: raises her glass "To all of us here still, to Johan may he rest in peace and to Craigh who we shall see soon"

Raises a toast

Branwyn: Thank you Lanek

N'laea: joins the toast

Jennevive: Where do you think he is?

Licornah: :: raises her glass :: Sending Johan off in peace and prayers for Craig's return

Branwyn: Fives?

Jennevive: Johan

Jennevive: We are toasting your friends

Jennevive: Fives is not a friend

Branwyn: I have no idea

Jennevive: Should we ask him?

seyfert (N'laea): lol

Branwyn: Well he is a partner and I promised him things if he helped me so I would like to make good on that

N'laea: If Johan is at rest, we should not wake him.

Jennevive: It took you a while to return the book, it is ok to take a while to find the remains of Fives

Jennevive: Craigh was at rest but you annoyed him?

Jennevive: What is different than Johan?

Branwyn: I agree N'laea. I am sure with his good heart that he is in a good place

Branwyn: laughs

Jennevive: Maybe Branwyn wants to visit him there sometime

N'laea: We knew Johan's will. We did not know Craigh. If you do not want to be bothered when you die, tell us know if you want to come back.

seyfert (N'laea): *now

Branwyn: I can try a seance if I wish to speak with him

Licornah: :: makes a mental note to update her will for this plane... ::

Branwyn: But not today

Branwyn: Avoiding the Hell subject though

Jennevive: If I die, it will be for a good reason, likely someone's wife or husband disagrees with what I am doing with their spouse and I will die a happy person, no need to return

N'laea: nods

Branwyn: Was the gate scroll wrongly calibrated? I expected it to be at the library and all I could see was a long road

N'laea: Then we will leave you to whatever afterlife you find.

Jennevive: I was in the library

Jennevive: Did you look at the road?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sorry, I was dealing with some stupid RL stuff. I am caught up and somewhat focused now.

Branwyn: Because you tackled the librarian on the way in?

Jennevive: A road paved with bones

Jennevive: The stories of tens of thousands of lives, stories to fill a thousand and one nights

Branwyn: That is horrid

Jennevive: It is Hell

Branwyn: True

Drinks

Branwyn: Why did it seem like years there? They would not accept the book?

Jennevive: Oh they wanted the book very much

N'laea: He did not talk like it.

Jennevive: They were aching, in pain for the disorganization of their prized library not being just right

LorieD (Licornah): (perhaps the Librarian was there at one point... at least the name you called)

LorieD (Licornah): (BOB operates in mysterious ways when it comes to alternate planes)

GM: Licornah is there to say that

Jennevive: They wanted to get their book back with no cost to themselves

Jennevive: TO have their cake and eat it oo

Jennevive: too

Branwyn: And you wanted them to pay

Jennevive: I did not let them off that easy

Jennevive: I demanded that they release their prisoner

Jennevive: and I also demanded that he release all hold on this plane

Branwyn: eyes widen

Bixi Fizzlebang: Well then they shouldn't have attacked us! We would have GLADLY given the book back with no cost to anyone

Branwyn: How did that go over?

N'laea: I'm sure he took that well.

Jennevive: Foolish child at no cost to who? You who cannot imagine being able to damage a single book in their library?

Jennevive: It took me over six years of negociations to aquire the release of the prisoner, and an additional year for him to release his hold on this plane

N'laea: Why could they not have just killed you to take it?

Jennevive: Then I negociated the return of their book

Jennevive: I had their book

Jennevive: and I had a story

Branwyn: And the only thing you needed to do was give them the book? You did not give them anything else did you?

Jennevive: I gave them the story of two children growing up to fight evil and to protect those who cannot protect themselves

Branwyn: Two children ...

Jennevive: I gave them a future that if they did not agree with my side that they would suffer

Branwyn: takes another drink of wine

N'laea: You make it sound simple.

Jennevive: I managed to get them to agree that they would reaquire this book, that the demon who was their prisoner would be free, and if anyone ever needed that book again there would be one place to come to request it

Bixi Fizzlebang: But what about Fives?

Jennevive: Very simple for an Elf who lives a thousand years, I do not

Jennevive: Who cares about that half devil child, he is dead, or lost it does not matter

Branwyn: Yes, it did take seven years

N'laea: shakes head, "I mean you make what you did sound simple. It is a compliment."

Branwyn: Thank you Jennevive

Jennevive: Pauses, then nods and raise a glass, Thank you

Branwyn: And where does one go if one wants to request the book at a later date?

Branwyn: smiles

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Jenn is a poster child for low self-esteem. Overcompensating by acting like she thinks she's amazing... insulting everyone else...

Jennevive: The library of the Countess of DragonFen

seyfert (N'laea): lol

Branwyn: You didn't?

Jennevive: The Mist protects this Estate

Jennevive: there is no way that any Devil or Demon can make it to your personal library

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Welp, guess we're never going to remove the mist

seyfert (N'laea): (giving you more and more reasons to keep it... )

Jennevive: Takes a deep drink and empties her glass

Branwyn: You didn't happen to bring anything back so I can get into Hell with the medallion did you?

Jennevive: You have everythign you need to get to Hell if you need, but why would you?

Branwyn: sighs

Branwyn: I told you. I need to bring Fives back

Branwyn: Can't let you have all the fun of Hell. I was supposed to go you know

Jennevive: He must be dead, he was not there when I got there

Laughs

Branwyn: Tiberius blocked me

stops and then laughs harder

Jennevive: Oh I do love that man

Jennevive: He is almost as good at Toybin

Branwyn: That security creature teleported him. They could have gone anywhere

Branwyn: He's better than Toybin if you ask me

Jennevive: Warm smile

Jennevive: My brother in law is very impressive

Jennevive: I wonder what it would be like to see the two of them at odds

Jennevive: Hmmmm

takes a drink, her glass is empty, holds it up for Gerry

Branwyn: Toybin is out of practice. Gone soft with his consortship I would imagine

Jennevive: LAUGHS

Jennevive: OH you are so good for me

Jennevive: I do love you Branwn the Mysterious

Branwyn: smiles

Branwyn: And in a unbelievable way, I love you too

Warm smile and raises a toast

Branwyn: But now, I must fetch the crystal ball and see if I can find Fives without succumbing to madness in the effort

Branwyn: I'll be right back

Branwyn: hurries up the stairs to get her things

Jennevive: I look forward to a corner of the Estate to set up a church and be able to do so many things

Jennevive: Looks at Bixi and N'laea

Bixi Fizzlebang: Gross, not interested

Jennevive: Are you two ready to have another church created by Branwyn the Church Builder?

Jennevive: Poor Bixi, are you the only one who Branwyn does not think is worthy of a church?

User has gone AFK. (MadamePsychosis)

N'laea: shrugs

N'laea: It matters not to me.

Jennevive: OH no, that is right she only favors one Elf

Jennevive: Shi captured her thoughts and now poor N'laea is on the outside

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I definitely thought Jenn was propositioning a threesome.

seyfert (N'laea): LOL

seyfert (N'laea): wouldn't put it past her

N'laea: That is fine.

GM: Only a three?

Youtargim: Rae you need to be quiet for a time

Youtargim: Can we go off to the woods there? would that make you happy?

Raelynn: Quiet for a time??

Youtargim: If we go into The Mist maybe that would muffle things for you?

Raelynn: Or do you mean I need quiet time?

Raelynn: Ugh, no I'll get Mist Sick.

Youtargim: I will be there to care for you

Youtargim: What did you want to do about Craigh?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm sorry, how is being mist sick on top of grieving supposed to make it better?

Youtargim: he seemed like a nice person

Raelynn: I've never thought of the Mist as somewhere... comfortable.

Raelynn: Well he wants to be Reincarnated, I believe. I can't do that, but I heard a story that Shi did once so we'll probably have to ask her.

Youtargim: The Mist has always seemed to me to be a thing to dampen feelings, to make the world simple and grey

Raelynn: But sometimes you need to feel your feelings!

Raelynn: Dampening them doesn't help you process them.

Youtargim: But if you leave the courtyard and go into The Mist will you be able to get Shi and come back in time for Craigh?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And Yout is the poster child for someone who needs therapy

GM: grins

Raelynn: It's like getting drunk to forget you're sad and then suddenly you're hung over and VERY sad!

Raelynn: shakes head

Raelynn: It's, like... a whole thing.

GM: When I am drunk I am never sad

Raelynn: I mean we probably should tell her.

seyfert (Raelynn): (that a Bob or Yout comment? lol)

GM: What do we need to do for Craigh then

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is that BOB or Yout talking there? :P

Youtargim: When I am drunk I am never sad

Youtargim: What do we need to do for Craigh then

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, so both then

Raelynn: Yes but once you're NOT drunk you get extra sad.

seyfert (Raelynn): (lol)

Raelynn: I suppose we need to talk to Shi. And then she can do preparations for tomorrow.

Youtargim: But Shi is in The Mist?

Raelynn: Gather what help she needs and stuff, I guess. I don't know.

Raelynn: sighs loudly

Youtargim: So we need someone out there to go get her?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Can't we just send an owl or something?

Youtargim: Wasn't that strange man out there still?

Raelynn: She's just over there talking to Brer. I suppose we can go into the Mist briefly.

Youtargim: NO

Raelynn: Brer Necholas? He is strange.

Raelynn: Um?

Youtargim: We just call them

Youtargim: Or I go and you stay here

Raelynn: looks around

Youtargim: I do not want you sick again unless it is for us to go spend time at the Estate

Raelynn: You sure it's over?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But didn't he just say...

Youtargim: No I am not sure, that is why I want you to stay here with me

Raelynn: I thought you wanted to go into The Mist?

Youtargim: I was saying that I will be with you where you go

User is back. (MadamePsychosis)

Raelynn: Oh, well I'd prefer the sunshine.

Youtargim: But if you need to be here to help Craigh, then I will be with you

Raelynn: Sun always makes me happier.

Warm smile

Raelynn: And yes, she might need more priestly support.

seyfert (Raelynn): *Shi

Youtargim: I would be happy on the sea

Youtargim: but that is a long way from here

Raelynn: I don't think you'll find one close to here...

Youtargim: I hope I get to show you that one day

Youtargim: the salt air

Youtargim: the waves

Raelynn: I don't know. You didn't convince me to love the River...

Dips his head to smell Rae's hair

Youtargim: You will love the open water

Lanek Olenak: finally finishes daintily sipping the good wine and picks up another beer

Raelynn: looks at him dubiously

Raelynn: With no safety of land nearby? Wind to make my skin dry? Monsters??

Youtargim: You will love Dolphins

Raelynn: Dolphins?

Youtargim: I promise

Youtargim: very smart fish, they know everything that happens in the seas

Raelynn: Well if they're cute or beautiful....maybe

Youtargim: They dance on the waves

Raelynn: Hmm, well I DO love dancing...

Youtargim: and can bring you such joy

Youtargim: It makes me smile just to remember them

Raelynn: Enough to forget I'm in the middle of the water where I can't swim?

Youtargim: I will protect you and teach you how to swim

Raelynn: No jabbing.

Youtargim: Promise only the jabbing you enjoy

Raelynn: rolls eyes

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): lol

GM: See, he could not get too good too fast

Youtargim: and so

seyfert (Raelynn): lol

Raelynn: sighs

Youtargim: We need to find a way to help Craigh

Raelynn: Let's tell Shi the plan so she can get whatever she needs ready. Bring people here, whichever...

Youtargim: and maybe I guess Fives

Raelynn: Sorry, I'm just still a little in the dumps.

Youtargim: and yes

Raelynn: But thank you for trying to cheer me up

Youtargim: SCOOPS up Rae and carries her into the guest house

seyfert (Raelynn): (well I guess they'll tell Shi after?)

Youtargim: You do not need to worry about anything

Raelynn: Oh!

Raelynn: Um

GM: Rae and Youtargim exit stage left

Branwyn: comes down the stairs with a shawl and the crystal ball

seyfert (N'laea): (guess she'll tell Shi at some other point :P)

GM: As the stable boy called out for Shi and Brer for assistance

Jennevive: You do have the best toys Branwyn

Branwyn: I try

Branwyn: lays out the shawl and puts the crystal ball on top and sits before it

N'laea: watches with interest

Jennevive: You really should ask your elf friends for help with those wounds

Tiberius Branadarus: I fixed everything upstairs and wanted to join you

Uses his hp to SHIFT Jennevive over a bit

Branwyn: Indigo, when I look into the ball, drink two tankards of ale. Like a normal person! And then tell me so I don't stare too long please

Tiberius Branadarus: Too Long

Indigo: I am a normal person!

Branwyn: You know what I mean. No fancy drinking tricks

Jennevive: Just tell me what I am expecting to see

Yawns

Jennevive: It has been a long... decade?

Branwyn: looks at Tiberius "Thank you. I need to find Fives first"

Jennevive: Did you know that they do not sleep in Hell?

Tiberius Branadarus: He is one of us, of course, we need to find him, are we going to Hell now?

Tiberius Branadarus: I can go get my swords

N'laea: You should heal before that. And sleep, apparently.

Tiberius Branadarus: I do not need sleep

Tiberius Branadarus: I can handle this

Tiberius Branadarus: If my love says we go we go

N'laea: Overconfidence is not healthy.

Branwyn: closes her eyes and pictures Fives without his helmet and with it, his expressions, his voice and tries to capture what she knows of his essence in the front of her mind. When she is sure and focused she opened her eyes and says "Now!" looking into the crystal ball

Tiberius Branadarus: Then I have never been healthy, laughs with N'laea

Branwyn: looks into the ball and waits for an image to form

N'laea: I will not argue that.

Indigo: starts drinking

Indigo: Like a normal person - muttering

-> Branwyn: Branwyn senses Fives is "alive" but not alive

Branwyn: can she see him?

-> Branwyn: Concentrating on his expressions, without the helmet, no, but his essence, maybe

Branwyn: meaning he could be unconscious but not dead?

-> Branwyn: Meaning he could have changed form

Branwyn: sigh

Branwyn: I sense him. He is alive but not? I can't see him

Branwyn: focuses on his attitude, his insults, his humor, who she knows he is without his physical appearance

-> Branwyn: Branwyn senses a worm, (a lemure) something groveling

Branwyn: oh no!

Branwyn: Oh no!!

Branwyn: turns away from the crystal ball

Lanek Olenak: that does not look like good news

Branwyn: I'm sensing him, but not him. Like one of those lemures, a worm writhing and groveling.

Branwyn: It's him but not as we know him

N'laea: Is he being tortured or turned into something else?

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Um... is he... happy?

Jennevive: The base creatures of Hell

Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... is he... happy?

Bixi Fizzlebang: Should we summon him to put him out of his misery?

N'laea: Unless his soul is still destined for Hell...

Jennevive: He is a devil kin, of course he is destined for Hell

Branwyn: Yes, if his soul is bound to Hell, I believe he will return there no matter what we do

N'laea: Perhaps that is why Jennevive did not see him.

Branwyn: As if we needed to hear any more bad news this day

Branwyn: This is awful

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or maybe she's just incredibly self-absorbed...

N'laea: What can be done for him?

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

Jennevive: I do not care

Jennevive: He was not important

Branwyn: I'm not sure anything can be done

Jennevive: I give you that Craigh was important to you

Branwyn: Oh Jenn please be quiet on this

N'laea: You do not need to care. It is not your conscious that will be bothered.

Jennevive: but just

Jennevive: Very well

GM: brb refilling and letting you absorb

seyfert (N'laea): so Fives is worse than dead?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): well ... there is a path to rise in the levels of hell. He is just starting out. Give him a few decades and he could be one of those flying things or something else

seyfert (N'laea): ouch

seyfert (N'laea): this mean no rescue?

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): if he has been killed to turn him into the lemure of hell, I don't think so

seyfert (N'laea): man TMO must have had some bad rolls

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): it's like past life I believe

LorieD (Licornah): (Poor TMO)

seyfert (N'laea): darn I liked Fives

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): unless this was one of TMO's choices this week - have to ask him

GM: It totally depends on how much energy and effort you want to expend

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I liked Fives too

seyfert (N'laea): don't know enough to know energy or effort it takes

GM: Craigh is only a resurection, Fives is a reclamation project of significant effort

GM: You have to bring him back to this plane then transform him into a new body that is useable here

GM: Sorry Craigh is a reincarnation

MadamePsychosis: Bran can focus on a thing to see it or travel to it but I don't think she has that power in real life so even if she teleported to the hell area where she saw him, I'm not sure she could pick him out of a line up to bring him back

MadamePsychosis: and then what polymorph him?

GM: Resurection is better but cannot afford it and for Craigh is questionable if it is better, he will like the resurection chance to be a whole new body

MadamePsychosis: don't even know where to start

GM: Yes Branwyn could because Fives gave Howard something to use to focus on him

GM: BUT it is a quest worth sort of thing

MadamePsychosis: so if she brought the bracelet to hell she could wave it around and find him?

GM: Yeap

GM: Not saying you want to

MadamePsychosis: then she teleports him and we have a pet lemure

seyfert (N'laea): LOL

GM: But it is a thing she could do

MadamePsychosis: would polymorph work?

GM: Of course

GM: If it makes it through the magic resististance

MadamePsychosis: and would be able to talk, fight, etc.?

seyfert (N'laea): we can take that down some notches

MadamePsychosis: ok- if fives was fives and TMO wanted to keep himas a PC then I would make it happen

MadamePsychosis: BUT if TMO doesn't want Fives then I'm not sure about going through what it would take to bring back a lemure

GM: Currently the feeling from TMO as expressed by BOB is that Craigh should be reincarnated

MadamePsychosis: just to say we did it and then goodbye

GM: and that Youtargim and Rae shoudl be married and have many kids ;P

MadamePsychosis: and we will reincarnate Craigh - so good there

seyfert (N'laea): eyebrow raise

GM: What you did not hear TMO say that Carissa?

MadamePsychosis: yes a top TMO priority

seyfert (N'laea): nope nor did I read that

seyfert (N'laea): lol lisa

GM: So we are in the evening of returning from Hell

MadamePsychosis: would the lemure be able to recognize Branwyn?

seyfert: so without TMO we can't do much else there

GM: You have lots to do

seyfert: would a lemure remain charmed?

seyfert: (there being Craigh and Fives not in general)

GM: Your guess is no to the charm surviving changes in lives

seyfert: oh change of lives

MadamePsychosis: don't you have to kill the creature to get it to lemure hood?

seyfert: sheesh what a gruesome PC end

GM: you have the planning and prep and managing to actually cast for Criagh to be reincarnated

seyfert: shouldn't TMO get to roll his reincarnate rolls?

GM: That would be a nice thing if he was here

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: but I will make those rolls for him

MadamePsychosis: yes

MadamePsychosis: hmmm

seyfert: not a fan, especially since Craigh won't be doing anything after reincarnate

GM: Except for the final what incarnation walks out of the smoke and becomes Craigh

seyfert: can't we do the timey-wimywimbly wombly thing for TMO's sake?

GM: We can do that

seyfert: I just know if it was me, I'd want to do those rolls myself.

GM: but you need to do what you think it right appropriate to give him his best chances

MadamePsychosis: when we get back to the manor then Branwyn will make an announcement too

GM: so going with Carissa's thoughts

GM: How long to be in the courtyard?

seyfert: Bring Kenna and her church, have a party, renincarnate, whoever isn't uplifting blesses those chances (and chant maybe?)

GM: Before you are ready for that spell?

seyfert: We have a week for Craigh. We can do that inside the Mist or in the sun. We just need people.

GM: OK

GM: so at least two days for that then

GM: plus healing for everyone takes a day

GM: so three days total?

MadamePsychosis: might be better in the mist so you don't get all the helping priests potentially sick going home?

seyfert: yes thinking the same

seyfert: sure for three days I guess

GM: The priests who are in the Courtyard need their checks to see if they can help, or you all stay in the Courtyard and bring the others to you for this

GM: You decide and tell me

Raelynn: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 18]

Raelynn: But she can just go back into the Sun, then try agian, yes?

seyfert (Raelynn): (ooc)

GM: No

seyfert (Raelynn): You said before we could....

Licornah: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 6]

GM: If someone goes from the Courtyard into The Mist they make a save, if they fail they are sick and cannot do anything

seyfert (Raelynn): Yout can drag her back into the sunshine :P

GM: If they are in The Mist and go into the Courtyard, you get better,

GM: That is possible yes for Carissa

GM: and Yes Licornah is safe

seyfert (Raelynn): Yout can show Tiberius how to properly sweep their love off their feet!

GM: Was there anything that Rae actually needs to do to help bring Criagh back?

seyfert (Raelynn): She could do uplift and/or blessing to help his chances, but to be fair, if we have a church helping us, she's just one of many

GM: OK

seyfert (Raelynn): Only Shi technically needs to not be sick, and she never went into the sun so she should be fine

GM: so now Bixi is the other Priest who needs to make a check

GM: How many days do you have for Craigh? One week?

Raelynn: yes

GM: So that is up to the group then, bring LOTS of priest here? (Not sure how many is lots) or go into The Mist and perhaps not be available to help

seyfert (Raelynn): Shi was heading out to get help while the rest rested up.

Raelynn: And heck if I know, that involves math.

GM: Chuckles so you REALLY need TMO is what I am hearing

GM: quote

seyfert (Raelynn): duh

MadamePsychosis: do we need to look up the uplift spell?

GM: Ok so is Shi able to cast Resurection?

seyfert (Raelynn): Four priests

GM: for who?

seyfert (Raelynn): Ughhh

GM: Uplift works on the same religion

Spell: Uplift

seyfert (Raelynn): Two priests are needed for one level raise. We need two level raises. So four priests.

MadamePsychosis: yay maths!

seyfert (Raelynn): not saying that is right, lol but it might be

GM: Level raises to whom?

seyfert (Raelynn): To Shi

GM: So you need Elven priests

MadamePsychosis: so only elves can uplift

GM: Only Elven Religion can uplift another Elf

seyfert (Raelynn): So Rae to Licornah to Shi

GM: if it was ... Kayugan then, etc

seyfert (Raelynn): I dunno man we did a who uplift chain before

MadamePsychosis: and Jenn so wanted to help

seyfert (Raelynn): I did not have time to figure out this extra math nonsense during the week

GM: smiles

MadamePsychosis: does Kenna know it? she knows raise dead so could have that sphere

MadamePsychosis: might be easier to pull together more kaugan priests than elves

seyfert (Raelynn): Not sure. Priest Spell books claims it is an animal sphere.

GM: Jenn knows it

seyfert (Raelynn): And reincarnation is more central to Elven religion

MadamePsychosis: without needing help?

GM: and yes to Elven knowing it and being part of their speheres

GM: Jenn would need assistance

MadamePsychosis: ok

seyfert (Raelynn): The spell does not say it has to be the same religion. The example only says two priests in the same party.

MadamePsychosis: for kayugan we have Kenna, Mara, Snee at least

GM: In the earlier part of the book it talks about Uplift being either a Religion or a particular God thing

GM: Some cooperative spells need to be the same god, most only need the same religion

seyfert (Raelynn): "The amount of increase is one level per five of the lower level (fractions round up). So if Rae is 7th, that rounds up to 2 levels, yes?

GM: Yes

seyfert (Raelynn): Then my math is wrong. Only Shi and Rae.

Raelynn: Rae gives Shi those two levels.

seyfert (Raelynn): But she has to probably not be sick.

GM: They can do it in the orchard of the Inn

GM: She can not leave into The Mist

seyfert (Raelynn): wut

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Where did everyone go?

GM: If she goes into The Mist she will be sick for a week or maybe more

'Shislif' connected

Raelynn: We are here, just released chareacters to talk OOC

GM: so doing it in the Courtyard before

seyfert: ...welll I had

GM: Hello Sharif

LemonyLemon: Whew, panicked

GM: I am ok with you not going into the Mist

seyfert: Getting she and shi confused

seyfert: So Shi goes into the courtyard

LemonyLemon: I can't stop hitting the thing though!

LorieD: Evening Sharif

seyfert: Besides maybe having to be dragged back into the Mist, no reason Shi cannot see the sun

MadamePsychosis: Hi Sharif :)

Shislif: hi everybody happy friday :)

GM: So we are agreed that three days later Rae, N'laea, Shi, and anyone other elves? gather in the small orchard at the Inn to try to Reincarnate Craigh

MadamePsychosis: sounds good to me

GM: Licornah

seyfert: I'm done with math so sure

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: I think that is all the elven priests in the Estate

Shislif (Zayden): are we OOC this session?

GM: only two other elves that I can think of

GM: we did a lot of IC earlier Sharif,

Shislif (Zayden): oh cool

GM: right now they are trying to bring Craigh back from the dead

Shislif (Zayden): ah okey doke

GM: Then we all gather at the Manor House

Shislif (Zayden): for a party?

GM: but first this spell

GM: yes

Shislif (Zayden): awesome :)

seyfert: there is the guild elves tecnhically

GM: So the highest level if Licornah? or Shi?

seyfert: wut

LorieD: I've been 7th level for 18 months... so probably Shi

GM: Uplift works on the highest level priest

seyfert: Shi

GM: Ok so Shi makes the Resurection roll, a d100

seyfert: [d100 = 13]

GM: So that works

seyfert: lucky 13 hope so

GM: Craigh comes back to life as a.........

GM: and off to the Manor House for a party

seyfert: something so TMO doesn't kill me

seyfert: *something good

GM: so the entire group, minus Gerry, but plus Brer gathers at the Manor House

GM: the kids are there, Ilero is there Jilly is distributing desserts

GM: a sucessful party to celebrate Craigh's return as a .... and everyone returning from Hell, the burial was last night for Johan in the small cemetary outside of Otterville

LorieD: :: laughs at the results :: wellllllll that will be fun

Jilly Ognorn: SMACKES

Jilly Ognorn: DEMI! I told you to put the silver plates on the right side

Branwyn: His right or your right Jilly?

Jilly Ognorn: Drops a plate with two berry pies on Indigo's plate

Jilly Ognorn: Waves a spoon at Branwyn, I know what side, he shoudl too!

Indigo: Thanks Jilly!

Bixi Fizzlebang: That's a lot of pie

Indigo: Can't have too much pie

Jennevive: This makes me so happy I do not have children

Lanek Olenak: drinks up up up

Branwyn: clinks a spoon against her glass

Tiberius Branadarus: You really need to try it sometime Jenn

Tiberius Branadarus: They are very chaotic

Tiberius Branadarus: Oh

Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not judging, I'm just envious

Tiberius Branadarus: sorry

Branwyn: Before we get too carried away I'd like to make an announcement

Branwyn: Tiberius, Indigo and I have been talking and we've decided ...

Tiberius Branadarus: soft nod

Branwyn: That we will be staying with the family for the foreseeable future

Tiberius Branadarus: Warm smile

Branwyn: Leaving you all to go on adventures independently

Branwyn: The children are getting older and we will be taking them on adventures suited to them so they will learn what they need to know

Branwyn: We'll be helping Jenn build her church

Tiberius Branadarus: Whispers Goblins

Branwyn: smiles

Branwyn: Yes, goblins

Branwyn: And we can travel. We can take the children to RiversBend to see the regattas, Indigo can help Toybin and the Queen

Branwyn: And you all? Can do whatever is in your heart to do

Tiberius Branadarus: Takes and squeezes Branwyn's hand

seyfert (Raelynn): I'm not sure how to handle all this right now

Branwyn: My library is available to anyone that can use it and I have released much of the wealth and items to the group for your use

Branwyn: The only things you cannot have are my daggers

Branwyn: grins

Tiberius Branadarus: Grins

Branwyn: Jilly can show you where everything is

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm sorry, can I get an OOC explanation of what this means? Or should I just commence panicking.

Jilly Ognorn: Taps her spoon against her palm

Branwyn: I love you all with all my heart and wish you nothing but the best

Branwyn: You will be fine and have wonderful adventures

Jilly Ognorn: Mutters and I do not have to chase after you again

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I'm leaving the game for the forseeable future

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): though once a dragonslayer, always a dragonslayer so nothing is forever

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok. Panicking has commenced.

GM: Warm Smile

seyfert: fuck

seyfert: Too many emotions tonight. Wishing you the best, don't want you to leave, damn. Fuck.

GM: HUGS

LorieD: Sorry to hear Lisa, but I get it...

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): it'll be good

Shislif (Zayden): Will miss ya!

springdew (Lanek Olenak): aw :-(

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I'm slightly overwhelmed with real life emotional stuff at the moment and this is like a twist of the knife for me. I mean, I get it, and you should do what you need to do, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt

springdew (Lanek Olenak): huge hugs

GM: 13+ years

MadamePsychosis (Branwyn): I started playing in 2010 and it's 2023 so I think a break is good for me

Shislif (Zayden): more hugs!

GM: I have been telling everyone we would have an Intermediate Era

GM: To adjust to the end of the story lines

GM: Everything is tied up and complete,

MadamePsychosis: I'm sorry. I thought everyone would be good with getting the blood thirsty can we just go kill things in the most dangerous way possible to take a vacation :)

Shislif (Zayden): brb bio break

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

GM: warm smile with Lisa

springdew: oh i don't thing the gameplay timing is a problem at all

springdew: *think

GM: Sitting here watching, feeling everyone staring at the screen and thinking

seyfert: I mean yes vacation is nice, but just. damn.

springdew: it's just i really like playing with ya, even when i can hardly pay attention. but i hope you can come back later on or even drop in one-off style sometimes if you get the chance

seyfert: i really want to log off right now but also stick around until you leave lisa

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's really optimistic of you to think that I am thinking

springdew: i mean, i do :-)

seyfert: again wishing you the best but this one hurts

GM: You have no idea

MadamePsychosis: I'm sorry I didn't mean for anyone to be hurt or upset. I know it was a surprise. I'd been thinking about it for a while

seyfert: do whats right by you though, always

seyfert: I'll always support you doing what you need for yourself

LemonyLemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, absolutely

seyfert: but you are making me cry so don't think you won't be severely missed :P

GM: warm smile and HUGS

LemonyLemon: Not trying to create a guilt trip, just trying to express the feelings

MadamePsychosis: nothing is forever. if the party is almost all dead, you have a crystal ball now to call her

MadamePsychosis: I am so so sorry Carissa

seyfert: no no apologies needed, like lemon said, just feelings and I cry when good friends leave

MadamePsychosis: I'm still on Discord will see what people post etc

GM: We do not stop playing because we grow old. We do not grow old because we stop playing

seyfert: at least give us some good emoji reactions every once and awhile!

MadamePsychosis: thanks Bob - tomorrow I age a decade like Jenn

springdew: yay! i was hoping you would

LemonyLemon: Wow, don't call Lisa old, jeez

MadamePsychosis: :D

GM: grins

springdew: it

MadamePsychosis: it's a good thing. the next era will be brand new for the group and you will find your way in your own way

springdew: it's a relief about discord because i'm hardly ever on Facebook anymore

LorieD: So the next adventure in theory is dinner with the rando dude that sent letters?

GM: TMo and Michael will be surpised doubly

MadamePsychosis: LOL

LorieD: FB is so challenging...

springdew: i just ... well rage really

GM: Right now the plan is for the next few weeks to be in the Intermediate Era,

springdew: i'm feeling tons better without it

LemonyLemon: I have my facebook extremely curated so I don't see things that I dont' want to see

GM: building a tea shop, a match making place, etc

springdew: well that all sounds fun

LorieD: Match Making? that sounds awful ...

MadamePsychosis: lol

LorieD: Ye old tynder ewwwww

GM: When the group wants to move to new things there are the three planned new Eras....

LorieD: I swipe left

seyfert: Rae has been wanting to do that for months

LorieD: I wish her well in that endeavour

LemonyLemon: Yeah, and Bixi has had plans to help and be neighbors

GM: you could go to the Desert and that adventure, you can restart at first level in the Island Kingdoms and refresh everything, or you can decide to tackle The Mist and elminate that and the first step will be in the Underdark

LorieD: So you're asking us to re-roll because Lisa is retiring her character?

GM: You have a few weeks a couple of months to be at peace and adjust

MadamePsychosis: no no no

GM: Not at all

seyfert: Is it too early to ask if you'll surprise us and show up to Florida in September, Lisa?

GM: It is up to the group

MadamePsychosis: that was an option in Player Comm before I made the decision to leave

MadamePsychosis: bob posted those 3 choices way back

seyfert: Restarting wasn't tempting until now

LorieD: :: nod :: I recall...

seyfert: But I'm not in a great place for decisions anytime soon

GM: you will be doing the Intermediate Era for now

GM: so that everyone gets to do quiet adventures around the Estate

GM: simple fun things

GM: Interactions, developments, etc

MadamePsychosis: not sure about September yet

LorieD: you said Hell would be fun... so I take that with a grain of salt ;)

LemonyLemon: Yeah, I can not even pretend to want to make a decision right now

seyfert: I'll just cross my fingers for now.

seyfert: And if not, maybe I'll get deployed to California again and can say hi :P

MadamePsychosis: I know Lorie! I wanted my last hurrah to be IN Hell. I was robbed

GM: HAH

seyfert: Well Fives is sorta still there to rescue...

MadamePsychosis: then he goes and turns Five into a lemure so I can't even go rescue a real devil

LorieD: Nah... it went as BOB intended. Even when the players don't follow his bread crumbs... he finds a way :)

LorieD: I truly feel for TMO

MadamePsychosis: The nice thing about TMO is that he loves making characters

GM: Wait till you read the IC chat from TMO's combat

MadamePsychosis: His reincarnated self should be a lot of fun

LorieD: (oh that 13 roll will be FUN)

LorieD: (if BOB follows the table anyhoo............)

seyfert: He said on site he has his own tables he uses so it's a toss up what it'll be

GM: That roll was IF he came back

GM: which he did

MadamePsychosis: a plus

GM: next week TMO rolls for WHAT he comes back as

seyfert: Oh good so he can roll WHAT next time

LorieD: (oh... well then I hope he rolls a 13

MadamePsychosis: lol

MadamePsychosis: what would that be?

Spell: Reincarnate

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

MadamePsychosis: knotty friend

LorieD: :: nod ::

GM: Naughty friend

GM: Sharif? Lemon? Lorie? Carissa? anything else you want to try to accomplish tonight? or just let it ride till next week

seyfert: Like I could do anything else today

LemonyLemon: I am incapable of thinking about anything else at this moment

MadamePsychosis: awww

Shislif: Pretty tired but I'm cool to hang out, got my beverage n popcorn

GM: We are here to talk and be together

Shislif: may need to refill the popcorn though

GM: with Old Bay seasoning

LemonyLemon: Is anyone going to share the news with TMO?

GM: and Michael

Shislif: Yea feel a lil like the awkward new guy in an emotional moment with old friends, but love the love goin around very grateful I can be a part of it :)

LemonyLemon: Yeah, but I don't know when Michael will be around next, but TMO is active now

Shislif: I got my own nutritional yeast blend :)

MadamePsychosis: lol

GM: Yes with Sharif

seyfert: awkward but very supportive new guy is a good thing to be

LemonyLemon: I wouldn't even have considered myself an old friend but time has moved exceptionally weirdly the last few years

GM: THIS

GM: and yes for Lemon also

Shislif: lol I've learned that the hard way :)

GM: I will let Lisa discuss with TMO, they have known each other the longest

GM: We have a good group

MadamePsychosis: I'll wait til he's home and not on the phone

MadamePsychosis: you we do

Shislif: true true wouldn't stick around if it wasn't :)

Shislif: brb popcorn

LemonyLemon: And I am very grateful for the awkward new guy. He provides much needed comic relief, in addition to all the regular things that players provide

MadamePsychosis: In the 13 years I have seen players come and go and some have been very hard but the group goes on and great adventures still happen

GM: Lemon and Carissa will be leading things with TMO, Lorie, Michael and Sharif there to make sure the adventures continue

LemonyLemon: Oh, I absolutely do NOT accept that responsibility

MadamePsychosis: hopefully the new TMO character will take more of a lead like Ilero's

GM: There have been 10 new playes after Lisa joined

GM: Carissa was number 50

seyfert: This'll be hard. Who will respond to my IC besides TMO when he gets to talk about himself??

GM: Sorry 11, Sharif was the most recent

Shislif: lol thx Lemon :)

LemonyLemon: Yeah, I'm only half paying attention on my good days, and I dont' know anything about anything

GM: Warm smile you know more than you think

MadamePsychosis: yes

LemonyLemon: Hard disagree

LemonyLemon: I finally KIND OF understand how to play Bixi

GM: and just like TMO did not know what to do, you will figure out how you want the group to be

LemonyLemon: But that's it

GM: That is more than half the battle

LorieD: Meh... the rules can be maneouvered around what you want to do ...

LorieD: we don't have many rule lawyers who rain on the parade

Shislif: oh i read about this a lil bit ago and seemed interesting, I doubt it's as customizable as FGU though

GM: Knowing the difference in "go off on any adventure BOB even mentions" versus stay at home forever and be totally safe

Shislif: (LINK)

LemonyLemon: Again, hard disagree. I mean, Carissa is a close second to understanding how things work in the area where we are based, and the history of it... but...

seyfert: Which is why we go somewhere else

LorieD: If BOB mentions...resist and go the opposite, opposite direction (he expects us to veer left :) )

springdew: Sharif, that is indeed interesting

Shislif: seems like cool graphics

LorieD: Then we can move... geography is relative

LemonyLemon: That's not really the point I'm trying to make

MadamePsychosis: is this the desert theme? Scrolls for a new Quest - Aman al-Raqib is saying that he researching into the past have unraveled the mystery of MarRek who died at least 10 centuries ago and it says that his prophesy has merit and the land might be spared the devastation that awaits it if a party of heroes can recover the Sphere of Power. It continues to implore that adventurers come to Bralizzar to undertake a quest to stop the Evil One from breaching his bonds. Place the 5 gold cubes in a particular pentagram arranged in a specific order to create a gateway.

MadamePsychosis: or just something hanging out still in Home Base?

LemonyLemon: We're losing a huge knowledge base and while I support that, it IS going to be difficult to replace

GM: Yes to Lisa that is the primary way into the Desert Era

LorieD: Lisa is taking history and knowledge... we'll pick it up and keep going

Shislif: yea really lol

seyfert: A lot of the organizing, the "not planning" planning, keeping track of everything...it is a huge hole

MadamePsychosis: there are NPCs that can help

GM: Remember too Lorie was here for 17 years, then she took a break for a decade

Shislif: like next generation losing Data!

LorieD: She's a huge loss, no doubt

LorieD: :)

GM: Mario took a break for a decade

LemonyLemon: I'm sorry, I can't have this conversation right now without getting short with people and saying things that I can't take back, so I'm just going to take a step back right now and let y'all talk.

Shislif: just finished season 3 of picard :)

GM: HUGS Lemon

LorieD: Be short... feel your feelings... you're losing an important person in your gaming

GM: V ery true

LorieD: It's how I felt losing John... and Rob...and Robert...and Christy...and Marco...and Jeff...and Sean

LorieD: I used to play with another group of friends that Spring / BOB and I know... losing all of them was hard too.

GM: That is the joy of this campaign, if someone leaves, it will be here for them to return to

LorieD: I have nothing but empathy for the frustration, anger and sadness that everyone feels

LemonyLemon: Sorry y'all, I just can't right now. Lisa, I wish you the best and hope to see you around in the discord. Best of luck in whatever you do with your future Friday nights. <3

MadamePsychosis: thank you and I'm sorry this is hard

seyfert: again no apologizes, we just all care that much about you, don't apologize for us caring

GM: And that is one of the best things that anyone can say about Lisa, that they cannot think of playing without her

MadamePsychosis: I might smack myself for leaving and come back next year - I don't know

LorieD: :)

seyfert: One can hope

GM: Once a Dragonslayer, Always a Dragonslayer

LorieD: It's weird having Friday's "free" -- I had three kids to fill that gap

Shislif: could always call it a sabbatical :)

GM: warm smile with Lorie

LorieD: ^^^

GM: Lorie used to play... before the first time she got pregnant

LorieD: ha! And now Kristen is 23

GM: just crazy

Shislif: nice

LorieD: Lisa, go recharge those batteries and enjoy your time to do whatever makes you happy

MadamePsychosis: thanks Lorie

Shislif: Best of Luck Lisa grateful for this short time to play with you :)

LorieD: there is always a seat at the table as BOB would say...

MadamePsychosis: thank you too and everyone

GM: Warm smile

Shislif: Given me something to aspire to as a DnD player

springdew: <3 <3 3

springdew: uhm, you know what i mean

LorieD: Everyone have a great evening. We'll get our next bread crumb next week.

MadamePsychosis: lol

springdew: good night!!

MadamePsychosis: and the TMO reveal - it will be fun
