BOB Nice
Lisa: Not the daggers - no one can take daggers

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

Lorie: Hey Spring - how are you? How are the kids?
Carissa: Yeah yeah as long as it doesn't always take that long
Carissa: exactly
Spring: 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

BOB When Carissa is back
Carissa: I'm here
BOB I do think the four of you are the ones for tonight
BOB until Lemon in an hour or more
Carissa: No pressure
Lisa: kinda pressure
Carissa: lol
BOB smile
Spring: hahaha
Spring: 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
Lisa (Howard Plum): with Branwyn
Howard Plum: You aren't going to bring Johan back?
Carissa (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.
Spring (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
Carissa (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?
BOB Was that directed at Rae? that is what I thought
Lisa (Howard Plum): was about the coin
BOB OH
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Lisa (Howard Plum): Jenn just put it in her hand
Lisa (Howard Plum): she knows how speak with dead works
Carissa (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
Lisa (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
Carissa (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
Carissa (Raelynn): (I'm thinking he wants to stay dead?)
BOB 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?
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL
Lisa (Branwyn): could have done that a long time ago
Carissa (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.
Lisa (Branwyn): really?
Carissa (Raelynn): (well a spot did just open...)
Carissa (Raelynn): (sorry probably too soon again)
BOB 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?
'Lemon' 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.
BOB Hello Lemon
Lisa (Branwyn): Bob - can he do better to change in reincarnate or resurrection?
BOB Reincarnate will give him a new form with new stats
Lisa (Branwyn): as Craigh he was kinda stuck in 1st lvl
Carissa (N'laea): badger badger badger
BOB and he would be a (possibly/likely) in a form that can go up in level as a mage
Carissa (N'laea): But Bob did state he'd make sure it'd be something playable by the player
BOB He would come back as X level and then use the library to learn his new spells
Lorie (Licornah): (Evening Lemon! Happy Birthday to Mr. Lemon :) )
Carissa (N'laea): Hi Lemon!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hello!
Lisa (Branwyn): Hi Lemon!
Carissa (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
Lisa (Branwyn): and I'm guess that's what TMO said when BOB cast Speak With TMO?
Carissa (N'laea): which with Kenna's church and our PCs, doable, but again - it's an all day spell sorta deal
Carissa (N'laea): LOL
Lisa (Branwyn): how much time before casting is essential?
Lisa (Branwyn): our priests could get mist sick when leaving
Carissa (Shi'Nynze): looking....
Lorie (Licornah): (a week)
Carissa (Shi'Nynze): one day per experience level so yes roughly a week
Lorie (Licornah): if death occurred no more than one week before the casting of the spell.
Lisa (Branwyn): good so we can go home and not have it be a total emergency - with Shi and Kenna already in the Mist, etc
Carissa (Shi'Nynze): yes and can be cast in the Mist I'd think since it's not divination or anything
Lorie (Licornah): (it's a necro spell)
Spring (Lanek Olenak): hi Lemon!
Carissa (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
Carissa (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
BOB 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
Carissa (N'laea): lol
Lanek Olenak: i'll drink it to please Branwyn.
BOB 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?
Carissa (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.
Carissa (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?
Lemon (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
Lorie (Licornah): (perhaps the Librarian was there at one point... at least the name you called)
Lorie (Licornah): (BOB operates in mysterious ways when it comes to alternate planes)
BOB 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
Lemon (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
Carissa (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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Welp, guess we're never going to remove the mist
Carissa (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. (Lisa)
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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I definitely thought Jenn was propositioning a threesome.
Carissa (N'laea): LOL
Carissa (N'laea): wouldn't put it past her
N'laea: That is fine.
BOB 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?
Lemon (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?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And Yout is the poster child for someone who needs therapy
BOB 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.
BOB When I am drunk I am never sad
Raelynn: I mean we probably should tell her.
Carissa (Raelynn): (that a Bob or Yout comment? lol)
BOB What do we need to do for Craigh then
Lemon (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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, so both then
Raelynn: Yes but once you're NOT drunk you get extra sad.
Carissa (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?
Lemon (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?
Lemon (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. (Lisa)
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.
Carissa (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
Lisa (Branwyn): lol
BOB See, he could not get too good too fast
Youtargim: and so
Carissa (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
Carissa (Raelynn): (well I guess they'll tell Shi after?)
Youtargim: You do not need to worry about anything
Raelynn: Oh!
Raelynn: Um
BOB Rae and Youtargim exit stage left
Branwyn: comes down the stairs with a shawl and the crystal ball
Carissa (N'laea): (guess she'll tell Shi at some other point :P)
BOB 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?
Lemon (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
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or maybe she's just incredibly self-absorbed...
N'laea: What can be done for him?
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
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
BOB brb refilling and letting you absorb
Carissa (N'laea): so Fives is worse than dead?
Lisa (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
Carissa (N'laea): ouch
Carissa (N'laea): this mean no rescue?
Lisa (Branwyn): if he has been killed to turn him into the lemure of hell, I don't think so
Carissa (N'laea): man TMO must have had some bad rolls
Lisa (Branwyn): it's like past life I believe
Lorie (Licornah): (Poor TMO)
Carissa (N'laea): darn I liked Fives
Lisa (Branwyn): unless this was one of TMO's choices this week - have to ask him
BOB It totally depends on how much energy and effort you want to expend
Lisa (Branwyn): I liked Fives too
Carissa (N'laea): don't know enough to know energy or effort it takes
BOB Craigh is only a resurection, Fives is a reclamation project of significant effort
BOB You have to bring him back to this plane then transform him into a new body that is useable here
BOB Sorry Craigh is a reincarnation
Lisa: 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
Lisa: and then what polymorph him?
BOB 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
Lisa: don't even know where to start
BOB Yes Branwyn could because Fives gave Howard something to use to focus on him
BOB BUT it is a quest worth sort of thing
Lisa: so if she brought the bracelet to hell she could wave it around and find him?
BOB Yeap
BOB Not saying you want to
Lisa: then she teleports him and we have a pet lemure
Carissa (N'laea): LOL
BOB But it is a thing she could do
Lisa: would polymorph work?
BOB Of course
BOB If it makes it through the magic resististance
Lisa: and would be able to talk, fight, etc.?
Carissa (N'laea): we can take that down some notches
Lisa: ok- if fives was fives and TMO wanted to keep himas a PC then I would make it happen
Lisa: BUT if TMO doesn't want Fives then I'm not sure about going through what it would take to bring back a lemure
BOB Currently the feeling from TMO as expressed by BOB is that Craigh should be reincarnated
Lisa: just to say we did it and then goodbye
BOB and that Youtargim and Rae shoudl be married and have many kids ;P
Lisa: and we will reincarnate Craigh - so good there
Carissa (N'laea): eyebrow raise
BOB What you did not hear TMO say that Carissa?
Lisa: yes a top TMO priority
Carissa (N'laea): nope nor did I read that
Carissa (N'laea): lol lisa
BOB So we are in the evening of returning from Hell
Lisa: would the lemure be able to recognize Branwyn?
Carissa: so without TMO we can't do much else there
BOB You have lots to do
Carissa: would a lemure remain charmed?
Carissa: (there being Craigh and Fives not in general)
BOB Your guess is no to the charm surviving changes in lives
Carissa: oh change of lives
Lisa: don't you have to kill the creature to get it to lemure hood?
Carissa: sheesh what a gruesome PC end
BOB you have the planning and prep and managing to actually cast for Criagh to be reincarnated
Carissa: shouldn't TMO get to roll his reincarnate rolls?
BOB That would be a nice thing if he was here
Lisa: lol
BOB but I will make those rolls for him
Lisa: yes
Lisa: hmmm
Carissa: not a fan, especially since Craigh won't be doing anything after reincarnate
BOB Except for the final what incarnation walks out of the smoke and becomes Craigh
Carissa: can't we do the timey-wimywimbly wombly thing for TMO's sake?
BOB We can do that
Carissa: I just know if it was me, I'd want to do those rolls myself.
BOB but you need to do what you think it right appropriate to give him his best chances
Lisa: when we get back to the manor then Branwyn will make an announcement too
BOB so going with Carissa's thoughts
BOB How long to be in the courtyard?
Carissa: Bring Kenna and her church, have a party, renincarnate, whoever isn't uplifting blesses those chances (and chant maybe?)
BOB Before you are ready for that spell?
Carissa: We have a week for Craigh. We can do that inside the Mist or in the sun. We just need people.
BOB OK
BOB so at least two days for that then
BOB plus healing for everyone takes a day
BOB so three days total?
Lisa: might be better in the mist so you don't get all the helping priests potentially sick going home?
Carissa: yes thinking the same
Carissa: sure for three days I guess
BOB 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
BOB 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?
Carissa (Raelynn): (ooc)
BOB No
Carissa (Raelynn): You said before we could....
Licornah: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 6]
BOB If someone goes from the Courtyard into The Mist they make a save, if they fail they are sick and cannot do anything
Carissa (Raelynn): Yout can drag her back into the sunshine :P
BOB If they are in The Mist and go into the Courtyard, you get better,
BOB That is possible yes for Carissa
BOB and Yes Licornah is safe
Carissa (Raelynn): Yout can show Tiberius how to properly sweep their love off their feet!
BOB Was there anything that Rae actually needs to do to help bring Criagh back?
Carissa (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
BOB OK
Carissa (Raelynn): Only Shi technically needs to not be sick, and she never went into the sun so she should be fine
BOB so now Bixi is the other Priest who needs to make a check
BOB How many days do you have for Craigh? One week?
Raelynn: yes
BOB 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
Carissa (Raelynn): Shi was heading out to get help while the rest rested up.
Raelynn: And heck if I know, that involves math.
BOB Chuckles so you REALLY need TMO is what I am hearing
BOB quote
Carissa (Raelynn): duh
Lisa: do we need to look up the uplift spell?
BOB Ok so is Shi able to cast Resurection?
Carissa (Raelynn): Four priests
BOB for who?
Carissa (Raelynn): Ughhh
BOB Uplift works on the same religion
: Uplift
Carissa (Raelynn): Two priests are needed for one level raise. We need two level raises. So four priests.
Lisa: yay maths!
Carissa (Raelynn): not saying that is right, lol but it might be
BOB Level raises to whom?
Carissa (Raelynn): To Shi
BOB So you need Elven priests
Lisa: so only elves can uplift
BOB Only Elven Religion can uplift another Elf
Carissa (Raelynn): So Rae to Licornah to Shi
BOB if it was ... Kayugan then, etc
Carissa (Raelynn): I dunno man we did a who uplift chain before
Lisa: and Jenn so wanted to help
Carissa (Raelynn): I did not have time to figure out this extra math nonsense during the week
BOB smiles
Lisa: does Kenna know it? she knows raise dead so could have that sphere
Lisa: might be easier to pull together more kaugan priests than elves
Carissa (Raelynn): Not sure. Priest Spell books claims it is an animal sphere.
BOB Jenn knows it
Carissa (Raelynn): And reincarnation is more central to Elven religion
Lisa: without needing help?
BOB and yes to Elven knowing it and being part of their speheres
BOB Jenn would need assistance
Lisa: ok
Carissa (Raelynn): The spell does not say it has to be the same religion. The example only says two priests in the same party.
Lisa: for kayugan we have Kenna, Mara, Snee at least
BOB In the earlier part of the book it talks about Uplift being either a Religion or a particular God thing
BOB Some cooperative spells need to be the same god, most only need the same religion
Carissa (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?
BOB Yes
Carissa (Raelynn): Then my math is wrong. Only Shi and Rae.
Raelynn: Rae gives Shi those two levels.
Carissa (Raelynn): But she has to probably not be sick.
BOB They can do it in the orchard of the Inn
BOB She can not leave into The Mist
Carissa (Raelynn): wut
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Where did everyone go?
BOB 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
BOB so doing it in the Courtyard before
Carissa: ...welll I had
BOB Hello Sharif
Lemon: Whew, panicked
BOB I am ok with you not going into the Mist
Carissa: Getting she and shi confused
Carissa: So Shi goes into the courtyard
Lemon: I can't stop hitting the thing though!
Lorie: Evening Sharif
Carissa: Besides maybe having to be dragged back into the Mist, no reason Shi cannot see the sun
Lisa: Hi Sharif :)
Shislif: hi everybody happy friday :)
BOB 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
Lisa: sounds good to me
BOB Licornah
Carissa: I'm done with math so sure
Lisa: lol
BOB I think that is all the elven priests in the Estate
Shislif (Zayden): are we OOC this session?
BOB only two other elves that I can think of
BOB we did a lot of IC earlier Sharif,
Shislif (Zayden): oh cool
BOB right now they are trying to bring Craigh back from the dead
Shislif (Zayden): ah okey doke
BOB Then we all gather at the Manor House
Shislif (Zayden): for a party?
BOB but first this spell
BOB yes
Shislif (Zayden): awesome :)
Carissa: there is the guild elves tecnhically
BOB So the highest level if Licornah? or Shi?
Carissa: wut
Lorie: I've been 7th level for 18 months... so probably Shi
BOB Uplift works on the highest level priest
Carissa: Shi
BOB Ok so Shi makes the Resurection roll, a d100
Carissa: [d100 = 13]
BOB So that works
Carissa: lucky 13 hope so
BOB Craigh comes back to life as a.........
BOB and off to the Manor House for a party
Carissa: something so TMO doesn't kill me
Carissa: *something good
BOB so the entire group, minus Gerry, but plus Brer gathers at the Manor House
BOB the kids are there, Ilero is there Jilly is distributing desserts
BOB 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
Lorie: :: 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
Carissa (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
Lemon (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
Lisa (Branwyn): I'm leaving the game for the forseeable future
Lisa (Branwyn): though once a dragonslayer, always a dragonslayer so nothing is forever
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok. Panicking has commenced.
BOB Warm Smile
Carissa: fuck
Carissa: Too many emotions tonight. Wishing you the best, don't want you to leave, damn. Fuck.
BOB HUGS
Lorie: Sorry to hear Lisa, but I get it...
Lisa (Branwyn): it'll be good
Shislif (Zayden): Will miss ya!
Spring (Lanek Olenak): aw :-(
Lemon (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
Spring (Lanek Olenak): huge hugs
BOB 13+ years
Lisa (Branwyn): I started playing in 2010 and it's 2023 so I think a break is good for me
Shislif (Zayden): more hugs!
BOB I have been telling everyone we would have an Intermediate Era
BOB To adjust to the end of the story lines
BOB Everything is tied up and complete,
Lisa: 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)
BOB warm smile with Lisa
Spring: oh i don't thing the gameplay timing is a problem at all
Spring: *think
BOB Sitting here watching, feeling everyone staring at the screen and thinking
Carissa: I mean yes vacation is nice, but just. damn.
Spring: 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
Carissa: i really want to log off right now but also stick around until you leave lisa
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's really optimistic of you to think that I am thinking
Spring: i mean, i do :-)
Carissa: again wishing you the best but this one hurts
BOB You have no idea
Lisa: 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
Carissa: do whats right by you though, always
Carissa: I'll always support you doing what you need for yourself
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, absolutely
Carissa: but you are making me cry so don't think you won't be severely missed :P
BOB warm smile and HUGS
Lemon: Not trying to create a guilt trip, just trying to express the feelings
Lisa: nothing is forever. if the party is almost all dead, you have a crystal ball now to call her
Lisa: I am so so sorry Carissa
Carissa: no no apologies needed, like lemon said, just feelings and I cry when good friends leave
Lisa: I'm still on Discord will see what people post etc
BOB We do not stop playing because we grow old. We do not grow old because we stop playing
Carissa: at least give us some good emoji reactions every once and awhile!
Lisa: thanks Bob - tomorrow I age a decade like Jenn
Spring: yay! i was hoping you would
Lemon: Wow, don't call Lisa old, jeez
Lisa: :D
BOB grins
Spring: it
Lisa: 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
Spring: it's a relief about discord because i'm hardly ever on Facebook anymore
Lorie: So the next adventure in theory is dinner with the rando dude that sent letters?
BOB TMo and Michael will be surpised doubly
Lisa: LOL
Lorie: FB is so challenging...
Spring: i just ... well rage really
BOB Right now the plan is for the next few weeks to be in the Intermediate Era,
Spring: i'm feeling tons better without it
Lemon: I have my facebook extremely curated so I don't see things that I dont' want to see
BOB building a tea shop, a match making place, etc
Spring: well that all sounds fun
Lorie: Match Making? that sounds awful ...
Lisa: lol
Lorie: Ye old tynder ewwwww
BOB When the group wants to move to new things there are the three planned new Eras....
Lorie: I swipe left
Carissa: Rae has been wanting to do that for months
Lorie: I wish her well in that endeavour
Lemon: Yeah, and Bixi has had plans to help and be neighbors
BOB 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
Lorie: So you're asking us to re-roll because Lisa is retiring her character?
BOB You have a few weeks a couple of months to be at peace and adjust
Lisa: no no no
BOB Not at all
Carissa: Is it too early to ask if you'll surprise us and show up to Florida in September, Lisa?
BOB It is up to the group
Lisa: that was an option in Player Comm before I made the decision to leave
Lisa: bob posted those 3 choices way back
Carissa: Restarting wasn't tempting until now
Lorie: :: nod :: I recall...
Carissa: But I'm not in a great place for decisions anytime soon
BOB you will be doing the Intermediate Era for now
BOB so that everyone gets to do quiet adventures around the Estate
BOB simple fun things
BOB Interactions, developments, etc
Lisa: not sure about September yet
Lorie: you said Hell would be fun... so I take that with a grain of salt ;)
Lemon: Yeah, I can not even pretend to want to make a decision right now
Carissa: I'll just cross my fingers for now.
Carissa: And if not, maybe I'll get deployed to California again and can say hi :P
Lisa: I know Lorie! I wanted my last hurrah to be IN Hell. I was robbed
BOB HAH
Carissa: Well Fives is sorta still there to rescue...
Lisa: then he goes and turns Five into a lemure so I can't even go rescue a real devil
Lorie: Nah... it went as BOB intended. Even when the players don't follow his bread crumbs... he finds a way :)
Lorie: I truly feel for TMO
Lisa: The nice thing about TMO is that he loves making characters
BOB Wait till you read the IC chat from TMO's combat
Lisa: His reincarnated self should be a lot of fun
Lorie: (oh that 13 roll will be FUN)
Lorie: (if BOB follows the table anyhoo............)
Carissa: He said on site he has his own tables he uses so it's a toss up what it'll be
BOB That roll was IF he came back
BOB which he did
Lisa: a plus
BOB next week TMO rolls for WHAT he comes back as
Carissa: Oh good so he can roll WHAT next time
Lorie: (oh... well then I hope he rolls a 13
Lisa: lol
Lisa: what would that be?
: Reincarnate
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Lisa: knotty friend
Lorie: :: nod ::
BOB Naughty friend
BOB Sharif? Lemon? Lorie? Carissa? anything else you want to try to accomplish tonight? or just let it ride till next week
Carissa: Like I could do anything else today
Lemon: I am incapable of thinking about anything else at this moment
Lisa: awww
Sharif: Pretty tired but I'm cool to hang out, got my beverage n popcorn
BOB We are here to talk and be together
Sharif: may need to refill the popcorn though
BOB with Old Bay seasoning
Lemon: Is anyone going to share the news with TMO?
BOB and Michael
Sharif: 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 :)
Lemon: Yeah, but I don't know when Michael will be around next, but TMO is active now
Sharif: I got my own nutritional yeast blend :)
Lisa: lol
BOB Yes with Sharif
Carissa: awkward but very supportive new guy is a good thing to be
Lemon: I wouldn't even have considered myself an old friend but time has moved exceptionally weirdly the last few years
BOB THIS
BOB and yes for Lemon also
Sharif: lol I've learned that the hard way :)
BOB I will let Lisa discuss with TMO, they have known each other the longest
BOB We have a good group
Lisa: I'll wait til he's home and not on the phone
Lisa: you we do
Sharif: true true wouldn't stick around if it wasn't :)
Sharif: brb popcorn
Lemon: 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
Lisa: 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
BOB Lemon and Carissa will be leading things with TMO, Lorie, Michael and Sharif there to make sure the adventures continue
Lemon: Oh, I absolutely do NOT accept that responsibility
Lisa: hopefully the new TMO character will take more of a lead like Ilero's
BOB There have been 10 new playes after Lisa joined
BOB Carissa was number 50
Carissa: This'll be hard. Who will respond to my IC besides TMO when he gets to talk about himself??
BOB Sorry 11, Sharif was the most recent
Sharif: lol thx Lemon :)
Lemon: Yeah, I'm only half paying attention on my good days, and I dont' know anything about anything
BOB Warm smile you know more than you think
Lisa: yes
Lemon: Hard disagree
Lemon: I finally KIND OF understand how to play Bixi
BOB and just like TMO did not know what to do, you will figure out how you want the group to be
Lemon: But that's it
BOB That is more than half the battle
Lorie: Meh... the rules can be maneouvered around what you want to do ...
Lorie: we don't have many rule lawyers who rain on the parade
Sharif: oh i read about this a lil bit ago and seemed interesting, I doubt it's as customizable as FGU though
BOB Knowing the difference in "go off on any adventure BOB even mentions" versus stay at home forever and be totally safe
Sharif: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.pcgamer.com/fablecrafts-virtual-tabletop-combines-the-best-parts-of-dandd-and-videogamesthis-is-the-future-of-ttrpgs/">(LINK)</a>
Lemon: 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...
Carissa: Which is why we go somewhere else
Lorie: If BOB mentions...resist and go the opposite, opposite direction (he expects us to veer left :) )
Spring: Sharif, that is indeed interesting
Sharif: seems like cool graphics
Lorie: Then we can move... geography is relative
Lemon: That's not really the point I'm trying to make
Lisa: 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.
Lisa: or just something hanging out still in Home Base?
Lemon: We're losing a huge knowledge base and while I support that, it IS going to be difficult to replace
BOB Yes to Lisa that is the primary way into the Desert Era
Lorie: Lisa is taking history and knowledge... we'll pick it up and keep going
Sharif: yea really lol
Carissa: A lot of the organizing, the "not planning" planning, keeping track of everything...it is a huge hole
