Rysdan Massouchanteau: Hello?
Raelynn: Oh, hello?
Rysdan Massouchanteau: Sir Sundown sent me
Raelynn: I suppose we are open now...
Raelynn: Oh. Him. What's he want?
Rysdan Massouchanteau: I am looking for ..... I mean, Sir Talwin is supposed to help me
Talwin: Ears still ringing after the shouting match
Rysdan Massouchanteau: I was told that he was here instead of at his post
Talwin: Yes what can I do for you?
Talwin: Scowls
Talwin: Post
Talwin: I need my tea dammit
Talwin: Only way to start my day
Rysdan Massouchanteau: Sorry Sir
Raelynn: Yes, yes. I'm getting there!
Talwin: Smiles warmly
Rysdan Massouchanteau: We have two goblins who need to be straightened out
Talwin: Anyways, Sundown sent
Raelynn: You can handle the Sundown....downess. I'll get you an extra large cup for it!
Talwin: Sighs heavily
Raelynn: goes off to make more tea
Talwin: What did they do?
Bixi Fizzlebang: I didn't know you had a post, Talwin
Talwin: Neither did I
Talwin: Grunts
Talwin: Better here then behind the desk
Rysdan Massouchanteau: I that is I was told that they had a complaint about the Govenor
Rysdan Massouchanteau: and that Sir Sundown said that they could take it up with Sir Talwin since he was in town
Talwin: Sir, you seem to have had a stroke. Can you clear up your meaning?
Talwin: What did the Goblins do?
Talwin: And about the Governor, or for the governor
N'laea: You should clarify if you want the straightening out to be physical or diplomatic.
Rysdan Massouchanteau: They have a complaint about the Govenor
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: Ah
Talwin: Huh
Talwin: Never had that complaint before
Rysdan Massouchanteau: They are waiting outside Sir
Talwin: Of course they are
Rysdan Massouchanteau: I did not want to bring them in
Talwin: Err
Talwin: Glacnes aroudn the shop
Talwin: I'll be right back Rae!
Raelynn: shouts from the backroom, "NO GOBLINS INSIDE!"
Raelynn: I'll have your tea waiting!
Talwin: Add whiskey
Talwin: grumbles
Licornah: Wait, the Governor who just started?
Talwin: Steps outside
N'laea: Do you want assistance?
Talwin: Shrugs. You might get some entertainment
Raelynn: Yout? Do we have any whiskey?
Rysdan Massouchanteau: Govenor Snee
N'laea: nods and follows
Youtargim: No whiskey, only rum
Talwin: Good enough
Bixi Fizzlebang: Whiskey this early in the morning?
Raelynn: Eh, he won't notice right? Just a small dash...
Talwin: I'm gonna need it
Raelynn: Go go.
Talwin: Puts on his serious face
Raelynn: to Licornah, "Snee has been govenor for...six? Seven years? Huh, time flies when you're in Elflands..."
Rysdan Massouchanteau: So this is Sir Talwin, the person who can help you.....
Talwin: Before you begin
Talwin: Holds up hand
Bixi Fizzlebang: Should we go out there with him? I mean, not that I don't trust him to keep his temper but...
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe : [Translation] I do not need your stupid ass remarks human
Talwin: Common perhaps?
Raelynn: Neither do I. Go Bixi! I'm trying to get things set up for the day.
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe : [Translation] just tell him that we need him to tell the halfling that we can bring our pets with us
Talwin: I take it that's a no
Bixi Fizzlebang: wanders outside and hovers near the door
N'laea : [Translation] What about gnomish?
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe : [Translation] They need to give us respect
Talwin: Thank you N'laea
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe : [Translation] And this stupid human just wants to try to rule us without even bothering to learn how to speak properly
N'laea: Do not thank me yet. I did not learn Goblin, but perhaps we have a Common Tongue.
Talwin: Sigh
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe : [Translation] Just like the bitch of a halfling
N'laea: shakes head at Goblin
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe : [Translation] You need to tell them to just listen
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe : [Translation] and now they bring out some stupid good for nothing elf
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe : [Translation] what in the hell are they thinking?
N'laea : [Translation] You are not understood.
Talwin: Rysdan, can you translate please
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe : [Translation] when we were in charge it was so much better
Rysdan Massouchanteau : [Translation] I can
Rysdan Massouchanteau: coughs
Rysdan Massouchanteau: I can
Rysdan Massouchanteau: But you do not want me to
Licornah: Oh, sorry, I was thinking of someone else... :: makes a note about Snee ::
N'laea: Do they only speak Goblin?
Talwin: Well, I can't solve a problem without knowing the language can I. Could you please do so anyways?
Rysdan Massouchanteau: As far as I know
Rysdan Massouchanteau: That is one of their complaints... that you are not..... caring, aware, enough to bother to learn their language
Rysdan Massouchanteau: In slightly more colorful language
Rysdan Massouchanteau: and choice of words
Talwin: I speak the language of defenstration
Talwin: So
Rysdan Massouchanteau: I do not know that one Sir
Talwin: Is the complaint about me or the Governor
Talwin: I can only solve one problem at a time
Rysdan Massouchanteau: Both?
Rysdan Massouchanteau: The Governor did not give them an answer they are happy with and now they want you to change it
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: Who said want you stupid fucking human
Talwin: Ah, so they came to daddy because mommy said no?
Talwin: Chuckles
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: We are telling him to do this or else
Talwin: Haha
Rysdan Massouchanteau: Ummmm
Talwin: And now I might be able to get to the root of the problem
Talwin: Turns on Noxea
Talwin: Turns on Noxea
Looks askanse at the mistake
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: Hello Sir
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: How are you today
Talwin: Snorts
Talwin: I am quite well
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: Very good to have you back in the Protectorate
Talwin: Smiles
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: It is nice to have a good hand at the whip
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: so to speak
Talwin: Thank you.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello, what is your name?
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: You can understand our dilema
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: Shut up you stupid little bitch
Talwin: Sigh
Talwin: Sigh
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: I mean no
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: I am speaking go be quiet
Talwin: Easy now
Bixi Fizzlebang: Wow, ok. Just so you know, I was going to try and help you. You're way less likely to get what you want now, but that's not my problem anymore
Bixi Fizzlebang: Talwin, if this turns physical, call me.
Bixi Fizzlebang: goes back inside
Talwin: Look. I'll get right to the point. I don't often go around the Governors back, but I do on occassion. Tell me your concern. If it is valid, I swear I will see what I can do to implement. We've done this for years, I'm always willing to help where I can. And, as you mostly seem to be treating us at least politiely, which I know must be absoultely driving you mad, I am happy to hear you out.
Talwin: Will do!
Talwin: Calls back
Talwin: Calls back
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: We just need to bring our pets into our home
Talwin: Ah. Wargs by any chance?
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: Gnomes
Talwin: This is just what I needed today
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: We have two of them
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: a matched set
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: very valuable
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: cannot just leave them out
Talwin: So. Here is my dilemma
Talwin: First
Talwin: Can you please explain Pets to me in context of your culture. I'm envisioning slaves or indentured servatude. Are they captives, criminals, slaves, I need context here
Talwin: I'm doing this for rule of law
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: No no not slaves, the Governor has forbidden us to have slaves
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: These are pets
Talwin: Nods
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: we have collars for them
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: bowls for them to eat from
Talwin: Ah,
Talwin: But
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: They even get their own beds
Talwin: Raises finger
Talwin: I was there when the treaty and legal code was written. So, I must ask two questions.
Talwin: Regardless of language, there was a meeting about the very debate for slaves and servants
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: See this is why you are smarter than the Governor
Talwin: Wait one second
Talwin: Rysas, could you please fetch me the legal code book from the Goblin treaty? It's the second book on the right and has the first goblin seal attached
Talwin: It's signed in all our blood
Talwin: If that helps
Talwin: While he is doing that
Rysdan Massouchanteau: That is up in the Mansion
Rysdan Massouchanteau: It will be a while
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: I'll tell you what
Rysdan Massouchanteau: I will try to hurry
Talwin: If there is disagreement in what I am about to say, we will fetch the copy
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe Turns to watch him run
Talwin: Looks at Noxea,
Talwin: and If I am wrong, I will personally pay you twenty gold pieces
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: See you are smarter and stronger, see him trotting along and doing what you say
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: and you are rich too
Talwin: From what I am about to quote
Talwin: Shakes head
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: YOU should be Governor
Talwin: No
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: Better than that little bitch
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: We would support you
Talwin: I'm much too......violent. Which for goblins, is fine, but she handles different people
Talwin: But!
Talwin: I digress
Talwin: In the spirit of that agreement, despite the fact that we all hate each others guts, we decided that we would rather all be doing our own thing then fucking each other over.
Talwin: Which is why we all made some pretty terrible concessions
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: I do plenty of fucking
Talwin: Grins
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: That is why I have 40 whelps
Talwin: And I liked to strangle peasants that irritate me
Talwin: But for the good of our own self interest and people
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: See so much better of a Governor
Talwin: I had to stop
Talwin: Ah, that is another debate
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: No need to deny your self that pleasure
Talwin: Booms a Laugh
Talwin: One thing at a time
Talwin: That agreement
Talwin: Specifically Chapter 15 Paragraph 2, Section 1
Talwin: Grimaces in frustration that it had to be written
Talwin: I need to know two things
Talwin: And it will probably piss you off
Talwin: Number 11
Talwin: Regarddless of the TERM used, which was speicfically placed in that paragraph by an expert sent by Branwny the Mysterious
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: This is why my wife made me learn to speak Human
Talwin: Here is my question: "Are they there because they want to be there"
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: But I refuse to read like some sissy
Talwin: Chuckles
Talwin: Are your pets there because they want to be there is the first question
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: Of course they want to be there
Talwin: Shaks head
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: If they did not want to be our pets then we woudl just kill them
Talwin: Ah!
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: You can ask them which they like better
Talwin: But that breaks the third part of the agreement.
Talwin: You see how they tied us up with Legal language?
Talwin: Do you know why I submit to such things despite wanting to strnagle people who piss me off?
Talwin: Because even with the support of your tribe, all the tribes, and even if I could conince the Dragonslayers to back me in taking this place
Talwin: There is one person who would burn us allt o the ground and laugh while she did it
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: Josie
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: She is a bitch
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: But she is so good
Talwin: Chuckles
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: strong
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: capable
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: Hate that bitch
Talwin: Personally, I was thinking Branwny, but Josie is on that list too
Talwin: So here's what I suggest
Talwin: I will make a one time exception for you, because you seem like a guy that gets it
Talwin: If they say they would like to stay as your pets as you say to me, in truth, I will leave the matter to you
Talwin: If they dont
Talwin: I would like to purchase your pets from you, as recompense
Talwin: Holds up finger
Talwin: BUT
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: I know I can make them say they want to be our pets
Talwin: Points
Talwin: And that is the reason
N'laea: Perhaps you should ask the pets directly, Talwin.
Talwin: I make this offer because you were clever
Talwin: And that legal book will be updated
Talwin: However, I must talk to them directly.
Talwin: Or, I would purchase them and give you two barrals of Ale
Talwin: As a ONE time offer
Talwin: In the future, we must abide by the treaty, because otherwise we will die
Talwin: Shrugs
Talwin: World sucks, and then we die
Talwin: I want to strangle people, but can't
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: 10 gold for each of them and two barrels of ale for each
Talwin: Narrow eyes
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: Plus a wolf hide
Talwin: You are a cunning one aren't you
Talwin: You push a little two hard I think
Talwin: Three barals of ale, no hide
Talwin: And a hat
Talwin: With a feather
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: 20 gold three barrels of ale and a hat with a feather
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: deal
Talwin: Spits in hand and holds out Hand. Agreed
Shakes
Talwin: You got this because you were clever. The next time though, I might just forget how much I shouldn't strnagle people
Talwin: Grins wickedly
Talwin: I think you'll go far in your tribe
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: I will back you when you throw out that bitch
Talwin: Bring them and I'll have the goods here for you
Talwin: And I'll keep it in mind
Noxea of Smelly Hill Tribe: I will
BOB the goblins leave
Talwin: Returns to Bixi. Is there a reason we didn't just slaughter them all?
Talwin: I need to update the book now
Talwin: And get goods for them
Talwin: Grunts
Talwin: I'm glad I can finally get rid of that godawful hat
N'laea: You wanted to be clever and diplomatic.
Talwin: I'll be back in an our
Talwin: Hey, there was some truth in there
Talwin: Strangling people who irritate you is kind of relieving in the moment
Talwin: We'll need to keep a closer eye
Talwin: And god above, I really should learn Goblin. They do have a point
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm offended that you are letting him get away with this
Talwin: Well, R's trip wont be wasted
Talwin: I'll make the ledger adjustments ot the code to specifgically call out pets, you can witness, and I'll have my seal ammended
Talwin: Sees Roger on Patrol outside the teashop
Talwin: Oh Roger!
Talwin: Roger what's your patrol for the time?
Roger: Sir, I am set to walk from Hourglass to Travelers Rest today
Talwin: If you aren't on a designated critical path, can you please arrange for these items to be fetched and delivered? I know this isn't your normal duty, but I'll grant you a pass for a free shift and double the pay for the day if you can arrange to have another guard finish your patrol. I'll grant them the same.
Talwin: And, when they come to collect the items, I'd appreciate if you could join us and appear menacinly
Roger: Yes Sir
Talwin: Good man.
Talwin: I appreciate it
Roger: I can get the gold from the Governor
Talwin: One second
Roger: the Ale from somewhere
Roger: I do not know where to get a hat
BOB Daphene can always be there when you want
Talwin: Reaches into purse
Talwin: One second Roger
Talwin: Extracts seal. Presses it into an exsiting wax seal, and instead of attaching to the parchment, simply hands it to Roger.
Talwin: I have the gold Roger
Talwin: Ale I'll leave to you
Talwin: As for the hat, grimaces
Talwin: That's on my desk. A uh, gift from a friend
Roger: Very well Sir
Talwin: Leans in. "Ugly as sin, but I'd prefer you not broadcast that I um, er, gave it away yes?"
Roger: Where do you want this delivered?
Talwin: Here
Talwin: Please
Roger: Ok
Talwin: I'll have a meal and ale awaiting you
BOB You can say she has
Talwin: Returns to Tea Shop.
Talwin: Returns to Tea Shop.
Talwin: There are times like this when it is much easier to have people help you so you can sta and have your goddamn morning tea
Talwin: Sighs
Talwin: I need extra mint today please
Talwin: And rum
Talwin: And are there any scones left?
Raelynn: Scones, tea, AND rum!
Talwin: Nine years
Talwin: I cannot believe the Treaty has been respected more or less for Nine years
Talwin: Why do you think that is Rae?
Raelynn: Becuase you're terrifying when you're violent so they don't want to piss you off?
Raelynn: smiles
Talwin: Oh god. Well, Glad I"m good for something aroudn here
Talwin: Unfortunately, I am ashamed to admit I have more in common with them than I would like to admit
Raelynn: You're a good customer! I love having regulars. And you're much better after your morning tea.
Raelynn: shakes head
Raelynn: You don't keep "pets" so you're already much better than them.
Talwin: Shrugs
Talwin: Glad to hear hit
Raelynn: And as far as I know, you don't have... what was it I heard through the door? 40 kids?
Talwin: Oh gods
Talwin: I don't even have one
Talwin: That i'm aware at least
Raelynn: laughs
Talwin: Can't stand kids
Talwin: Loud, smelly,
Talwin: Catches himself
Talwin: Huh
Raelynn: Oh, not all of them are that bad!
Raelynn: His might be, though...
Talwin: I think I just realized that I often act like a kid
Bixi Fizzlebang: They ARE all that bad
Talwin: Big smell, and often crude in the right circumstance. Or wrong circumstance
Talwin: And even have a grudingly respectful relationship with glitter dust
Raelynn: laughs again
Talwin: Ponders his tea cup
Talwin: Do I wan't kids?
Talwin: God
Raelynn: Well, if smell IS a problem, let me know. I'll make you a better soap. You'd have to use it, though.
Talwin: I dind't think today would have me questioning life stuff
Raelynn: Hang around some before you decide. It's not a light decision to make BUT if you do... just remember this is also a matchmaking shop!
Talwin: Are you crazy? I only use your soap
Raelynn: Then you shouldn't smell!
Talwin: Everythign else is literally melting my skin it feels like
Talwin: I'm spoiled!
Talwin: Oh my god I love this tea
Talwin: Sips again
Raelynn: You should be! I like spoiling my friends! But I'm going to try a new scent with the next soap if you still worry you smell bad.
Youtargim: I am a satisfied customer
Talwin: And someone slipped enough Liquor to make me a very happy man
Raelynn: points to Yout
Youtargim: Winks at Rae as he cleans up things
Raelynn: I don't think I put that much in, but you have to watch those pirates.
Talwin: Hm?
Talwin: Pirates?
Youtargim: I am off to town, I will be back tomorrow
Talwin: Travel safe. Do you need an escort?
Talwin: Er, a Military escort?
Youtargim: Laughs,
Youtargim: The roads are safe enough
Raelynn: Things are quiet here, but if you want some time hanging with the boys, having... boytime or something, you should go.
Youtargim: and Jilly will have things for me to bring back tomorrow
Talwin: Now I definitely need some scones
Talwin: Stomach grumbles
Raelynn: I'm still trying to get that recipe down. We do have cookies... but my specialty is really tea and tinctures.
Youtargim: Our new Criagh might have lost his way, need to bring him back
Raelynn: I thought Bixi was his apprentice?
Talwin: Nods
Bixi Fizzlebang: That was the before times
Raelynn: So he's your apprentice now instead?
Bixi Fizzlebang: No one is anyone's apprentice at the moment
Bixi Fizzlebang: I think we're on slightly different paths now, magically speaking
Raelynn: Well you're both on a magical path so what's different?
Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't know yet, I'll let you know when he comes out of the tower and I have a chance to talk to him again
Raelynn: nods
Raelynn: Just don't write it off yet. Or let him write you off. He seemed very touched by your apprentice remarks when he came back.
Youtargim: Gives Rae a kiss, promise I will be back as soon as I can
Raelynn: Brings scones!
Raelynn: kisses him back
Bixi Fizzlebang: I think it's just going to be a little more mutual helping each other, for now
Bixi Fizzlebang: We don't know what his new form is capable of yet
Raelynn: I suppose that makes sense.
Bixi Fizzlebang: He's got to get used to a whole new body and possibly a whole new set of magic skills. Like learning to walk all over again
Bixi Fizzlebang: I know his mind is still there, but it still seems like it will be a lot of work to adjust to such a new physicality
Raelynn: Oh, you're right. I just want to make sure he knows we still support him.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Well of course we do
Bixi Fizzlebang: I just don't know that he'll be in any place to mentor at the moment. He'll need to get his own bearings first
Raelynn: WE know we do, but we need to make sure he knows!
Raelynn: But you make a good point.
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Hello
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Hello there!
N'laea: listens
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] I was hoping to find some poltices
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Poltices? At a tea shop?
N'laea : [Translation] Raelynn makes some.
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Oh, she is a woman of many talents I guess
N'laea : [Translation] Poultices, yes?
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] What is your name, friend?
Lanek Olenak: sticks his pinkie out deliberately, sipping tea
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] I am Karleen
Bixi Fizzlebang [W Comm]: Rae, this is Karleen. She's looking for some poltices
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] I was looking for something for a swollen ankle
Bixi Fizzlebang [W Comm]: For a swollen ankle
Raelynn: Oh! What for...okay.
Raelynn: Hmm, let me think if I have something already on hand...
Lanek Olenak: blows bubbles in the tea surreptitiously
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Any chance you speak any common? I don't mind translating, but I do know Rae would love to be able to speak to you directly if you are able
Raelynn: glances at Lanek but chooses to ignore him.
Raelynn: [SKILL] Herbalism [2] [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 15]
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] I do not speak human
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] No need to
Raelynn: Oh shoot. Bixi, I'm missing something... what's that herb you said helps with swelling?
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Fair enough.
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 19]
Bixi Fizzlebang [W Comm]: Ummm... I don't remember every saying that?
Raelynn: [SKILL] Diagnostics [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 9]
Raelynn: I thought you did?
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] She's trying to figure something out for you
Raelynn: Licornah, do you know herbal remedies? I suppose we can do magic. Is it for her or someone else?
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Is it for you, or someone else?
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] It is for my friend, her ankle is all swollen from a snake bite
Bixi Fizzlebang [W Comm]: Her friend has a swollen ankle from a snake bite
Licornah: For swelling... :: thinks a moment :: Oh! Is it poison?
N'laea: Venom.
Raelynn: Oh, whichever! Is it full of the nasties?
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Has she been poisioned? Or just irritation from the bite?
N'laea : [Translation] How long ago?
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] How would I know if it is poison? I just know that when you twist your ankle, or have a sore, you put a poltice on it and the swelling goes down
N'laea : [Translation] Two pin pricks on the bite?
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Yes I think there are two round circles
Licornah: We could make a potion to help with the venom?
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Is it just the bite or is she feeling other bad things? Sickness? Weakness? Fever?
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Her ankle hurts, she does not wan tto walk on it
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Just the ankle, though? Nothing else bothering her?
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Not that she said
Bixi Fizzlebang: Not necessarily venomed...
Bixi Fizzlebang: No other symptoms besides the swollen ankle
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] How long ago was she bitten?
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Two days
Bixi Fizzlebang: Two days since the bite
N'laea : [Translation] A poultice may help, but she might need more assistance. You can ask Talwin to carry her.
Raelynn: And she's not feverish?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Not as far as Karleen knows
Bixi Fizzlebang: But doesn't sound like there was a very thorough check
Licornah: We could slow the poison before we neutralize it.
Raelynn: Hmm, well I don't have whatever it was I needed in my shop right now so I can't make her anything, but if her friend comes here, we can help her better. Can she?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Well... we may need Talwin to go get her, as she can't walk. Big strong guy should be able to carry a gnome, yes?
Licornah: :: ponders :: I think I might have what I need in my room
Bixi Fizzlebang: winks at N'laea
N'laea: rolls eyes
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Does that sound ok to you? We can send someone with you to bring her back here so we can help better?
Licornah: I can go
Licornah: I can get her back here
Raelynn: You don't mind? Actually, you may be able to help her there.
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Oh, good point!
Raelynn: Hmm, Bixi maybe you should go too as translator?
Raelynn: I can't leave my shop unattended, but between you two, maybe you can heal her friend.
Licornah: I don't speak their language, but happy to try and help to my best ability
Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh, good point! I sometimes forget Licornah is an accomplished healer
Licornah: Sell your tea... bake your scones. If I need help, I will call
Raelynn: I'm sure you've got it! If you need help, come back and maybe us three together can figure it out!
Licornah: :: nods :: Sounds good!
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Does your friend know any human? One of our healers is going to go to your friend to help. If needed, I can also come to translate
Licornah: :: goes to gather supplies and find a furry friend to accompany her for help ::
Licornah: Wanders back with a squirrel and her satchel
Licornah: All set
BOB Bixi, Licornah go to help Karleen
BOB SO while the two of them are off helping the gnomes
BOB Snee comes to the Tea Shop for the first time
BOB and finds Talwin there waiting on his delivery
Snezana: there you are!
Talwin: Raises eyebrows and grins
Talwin: The children came to me after you told them no
Snezana: what a lovely shop, how did i not know about it?
Raelynn: Oh goodness! Hello Govenor!
Raelynn: Can I get you some tea? Cookies?
Snezana: some of each, thanks!
Snezana: sighs heavily
Snezana: so good to get out of that temple office. how are you Talwin?
Raelynn: goes to prepare some tea and cookies
Talwin: I'm glad you are out and about Governor
Talwin: Warmly
Talwin: Just getting some slav----I mean pets back from the Goblins
Talwin: And updating the law book
Snezana: haha i wondered if they were going to try to appeal
Snezana: we were getting stuck on people vs. pets and it was just not on
Talwin: It was quite clever how they tried to interpret the law for a Goblin. Also, they were remarkably polite....at least to me. Something about being brothers in bloodthirty rages at times and being evil
Talwin: I chose to ignore that part
Talwin: I told them I would reward them for their clever little interpretation, change the law, get the "Pets" back, and if they interpreted this law again I might forget that being bound to the law also applied to me not strangling people who annoyed me
Snezana: most people don't get a chance to safely and beneficiall harness their dark side, so it sounds like a win
Talwin: Win win
Talwin: I even got rid of that godawful hat
Talwin: Shudders
Talwin: But don't tell anyone I said that
Snezana: bonus!
Talwin: Seriously, who puts that kind of feather in a hat???
Talwin: Shudders
Snezana: shrugs
Talwin: We can never tell Indigo I rebuffed his hatware
Snezana: for everything that exists, there is somebody who likes it
Raelynn: quietly serves tea without interrupting them
Talwin: Mutters somethign about fasion under his breath
Talwin: But anyways!
Snezana: nah you must matched it to the best recipient
Snezana: thanks
Snezana: with a smile to Raelynn
Raelynn: smiles back and returns to backroom
Talwin: I was unaware you had not yet visitied! I tend to be here as much as I can. Oddly enough, I find my paperwork tends to get done far more quickly here then at the manor
Talwin: Sbrugs
Talwin: I also have to pee a lot
Snezana: well that's good for you, so there
Snezana: never try to hold off, very unhealthy
Talwin: Shrugs. I don't know how they do it, but I swear they make the tea addictive....
Talwin: Then again
Talwin: They do keep a stash of liquor on hand to dash the cup with when I need it
Snezana: i think i've spent too much time with Kenna. the health lectures
Talwin: That might have something to do with it
Talwin: Nods Gravely
Talwin: I love Kenna
Talwin: I do not like the Lectures
Talwin: She should ahve some mint tea
Talwin: Leans forward
Talwin: Leans forward
Snezana: looks attentive
Talwin: Honestly, this is so good, I do believe we could invest in the growing of the herbs. Set up a distribution industry.
Talwin: I woudl gladly invest some of my own funds
Talwin: The taxation would benefit the college and temple as well
Talwin: It's been hard to find ways to attract more learners even with the move-in enticement
Talwin: It's one of my more dissapointing projects. I just want to make sure when the mines run dry the protectorate can still provide value and education
Snezana: indeed. that sounds like something Kenna might want to be involved with
Talwin: Perks up and cuts off his sentence as Raelynns entrance
Talwin: Doesn't want to broach the topic yet
Raelynn: Oh! Sorry, just cleaning up. That last patron left a mess and.... er, carry on!
Raelynn: hastily cleans up to not be a bother
Talwin: No No!
Talwin: Chuckels
Talwin: Sorry Raelynn
Snezana: It's been bothering me about the mines and what the workers can do next
Talwin: Just plotting and schemeing
Raelynn: nods
Raelynn: Your usual, then? I hate interrupting when you do that.
Snezana: You remember we were talking at one point about converting the depleted mines to housing
Talwin: Nods Sharply
Snezana: or warehousing. whatever could make use of the shelter
Talwin: Indeed
Talwin: Also potentially growing medicinal fungai as well
Talwin: But that's far beyond my scope of intelligence
Snezana: oh that's right!
Talwin: Sighs
N'laea: I left you my findings on that years ago.
Talwin: I know I know
N'laea: sips her tea quietly in the corner
Talwin: I just want to make sure the future is secure
Talwin: And although there is some vanity in my project, I realyl want to get an academy started here
Snezana: so many urgent matters keep bumping the proactive projects down in the list
Talwin: The best and brightest
Snezana: education is elevation
Daphene: As long as you name it after him
Talwin: It might be time to dig out that report once again N'lae
Talwin: Nods at Snee
Talwin: My thoughts exacrtly
N'laea: You best. I do not wish to go underground again.
Talwin: I love to lop people's heads off when they deserve it
Talwin: But I get so much enjoyment out of Artillery, engineering, and the arts
Talwin: We can make the Protectorate and Dragons fen the envy of the rest
Talwin: Smugly
Snezana: smiles
Talwin: And then Bran will slap me silly and to bring myself to reality, but hey!
Talwin: I can dream until then
Talwin: Snorts
Talwin: Shrugs
Snezana: so there is this other matter
Talwin: Narrows gaze
Talwin: WHat's on your mind?
Snezana: something fishy with the Quellcon Estate
Talwin: You always have my interest, but now you have my attention
Talwin: Gaze deadens
Talwin: Fishy how?
Snezana: you remember how we tax every full wagon to help pay for the new road. well, they aren't using full wagons. in fact
Snezana: in fact they are sending a lot of empty wagons south
Snezana: and no full wagons north. so where are they going? what are they doing?
Talwin: Indeed
Talwin: Has anyone reported any direction the emtpy wagons are going?
Snezana: beyond south, no
Snezana: i have no idea when this started. that's the kind of thing it takes time to notice
Talwin: So, no sort of destination other then passing through our lands?
Talwin: Hm
Snezana: no one has yet followed the empty wagons nor backtracked their origin. if you are willing, i'd like you to go north and see
Snezana: take an assistant or two maybe?
Talwin: Taps his hand on the table in thought
Talwin: Any reports of the manner of dress?
Daphene: I'll go with you, if you want the company, Talwin
Talwin: What animals are pulling them by any chance?
Talwin: Nods
Snezana: no mention, so i assume inconspicuous
Talwin: Just thinking but yes Daphene, I'd love to have you along
Daphene: smiles
Talwin: Who gave the reports?
BOB Sundown
Snezana: some wagons oxen, some horses
Talwin: Nods in decison
Talwin: I do believe this is interesting
Talwin: Let me put together a delegation and some small gifts to visit our friends up in Quellcon
Talwin: I have forgotten what they like, so if anyone remembers things they like, then let's do that
Talwin: Anyone of us who is willing to go and find some answers to an intriging mysters is invited!
Lanek Olenak: harrumphs
Raelynn: I do like delagating! Although wasn't it their son the one who took over Skull Church?
Talwin: Ponders
Talwin: We could always invite them here if you would prefer to stay closer to home?
Talwin: I just figure it's an opportunity to ask wagons as they head south
Raelynn: Wherever you think is best!
Raelynn: I don't mind either way. Are you doing reconnosience or diplomacy first?
Talwin: Point to you Raeylnn
Snezana: the benefit of going there is reconnaissance, but..
Talwin: I figure Recon in the guise of diplomacy
Raelynn: They'll likely just deny everything.
Snezana: gestures yes to Raelynn's point
Talwin: As we "visit" to catch up with our good neighbors, we have an opportunity to take an opportunity to speak with passerby
Talwin: We know what's on our land. We DON"T know what's on theirs
Talwin: I'd prefer to visit in person and give some gifts and exchnage some chit chat while we take a gander at what's going on
Talwin: Thoughts?
Snezana: it would be worth knowing where exactly the wagons are coming from and see if any full wagons are coming from some other route perhaps
Snezana: or wouldn't it be interesting if the wagons are in fact full of good that are magically invisible
Talwin: Face Hardens, a glimpse of Posesses Talwin from the past...
Talwin: Cheating us?
Talwin: Mildly
Raelynn: A simple magic spell could undo that, couldn't it?
Snezana: cheating the people, but yes
Talwin: I do believe we may implement some weigh stations
Snezana: i believe you are right, but you'd have to suspect to cast it
Talwin: Voice still mild
Talwin: Perhaps we are becoming large enough that some additional Warderns should be placed for inspections
Talwin: Nods sharply
Talwin: I'll put together a Reco and Diplomacy party
Snezana: those are the possibilities that come to mind, but it could be something else entirely.
Talwin: Oh it very well might be. But no one cheats us
Snezana: smiles
Talwin: Our rates are fairer then any other I can imagine
Talwin: I do believe that a new fee will be implemented....with your permission governess
Talwin: Any emtpy wagon making use of the road will pay a flat fee
Snezana: hm. i personally don't like it but i see the sense in it
Talwin: If they are passing through the Protectorate. Our own citizens will be exempt of course
Snezana: it is probably how we should have done it at the start
Talwin: Only when empty
Talwin: Tradeable or full wagons will be taxed as normal
Snezana: nods
Talwin: But free passage is a non-starter. We can be realistic to the poor folk, but there needs to be a damn good explanation for those exceptions
Snezana: if we implement the fee, is there any point to the reconnaisance and diplomacy? or should we wait on the fee?
Daphene: Who decides whether the explanation is good enough?
Talwin: The Wardens
Snezana: i mean my curiosity is fired up but if this is solvable with a fee then it's unnecessary to go, probably
Talwin: Shrugs
N'laea: They will just find a different way to cheat you.
Talwin: There's always opporutnity to visit our neighbors, maybe enven bring them a gift of the best tea within 10000 leagues
Talwin: Shakes head
Talwin: That's part of the reason
Talwin: There really ARE so many ways people can try to cheat us
Talwin: If they are using the road though, that's easy enough
Snezana: fair points, both of you
Roger: BACK Sir
Talwin: But again, I think exempting our own citizens is a good start
Roger: Oh hello Governor
Talwin: Stands
Talwin: Ah Roger!
Talwin: Good man
Roger: I have your ale for you
Snezana: hello
Roger: Three barrels
Snezana: smiles
Roger: and This
Roger: hands over a bag
Talwin: Thank you for coverring that horeendous garment
Talwin: Here, have a meal as promised
Roger: I brought the book also
Talwin: Gestures to the nearby table
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: I'll definitely need that
Talwin: Takes book, opens to the appropriate section for edits, and writes the legalese
Talwin: Governess, would you mind signing as well? This will close that little wordplay
Talwin: Flips book around, with Quill and his seal
Snezana: thanks
Snezana: signs with a flourish
Talwin: Pinpricks his thumb and drips onto the seal.
Talwin: I'm sorry Snee, but it's the Goblins. You'll need a pin prick too
Snezana: holds out a thumb
Talwin: Winces, but gently pricks
Snezana: adds blood to the seal
Talwin: Sighs
Talwin: One problem off the agenda today I hope.
Snezana: no, we have to do this right. don't worry
Talwin: What am I forgetting? Frowns
Snezana: it's nice to have a tidy solution for a change
Talwin: Ah!
Talwin: Pens out a pass for Roger and his replacements as promised
Talwin: And a double pay boost for the day
Talwin: Can you also sign these writs Snee? I''m covering these ones, but your signature would be cool for them
Snezana: oh i approve, well done
Snezana: yes, certainly
Talwin: They see mine all the time, your just so mysterious for them
Snezana: signy sign, scribbly scribble
Talwin: Chuckles
Talwin: Excellent!
Talwin: Walks over to Roger, whom hopefully is enjoying his meal
Talwin: Walks over to Roger, whom hopefully is enjoying his meal
Daphene: visibly disappointed at the apparent cancellation of the trip north
Talwin: Thank you son. You saved me a lot of hassle today
Talwin: Catching Dapene's gaze
Roger: Part of the job
Talwin: Oh don't worry Daphene, we'll still investigate
Snezana: nodding.
Talwin: Eye's Roger for a second
Daphene: Oh, good. I hate to see anyone cheating the people, you know.
Roger: Sir Sundown has been good for us
Talwin: Oy, Roger, I don't suppose you know what's up with the Empty Wagons coming from the Quellcon Estatees?
Talwin: Nods
Talwin: A bit dour, but a good man. Loyal, and Kind
Snezana: our citizens worked so hard on this road
Roger: Shrugs, not sure
Talwin: Yeah, without it, Roger would be walking on this terrible terrain
Talwin: Shudders
Talwin: A road is good for the area
Talwin: But thanks Roger
Roger: Nods
Talwin: If you hear anything, would you mind keeping me posted, or pass on to the watch head for the Daily Report?
Roger: Will do
Talwin: Excellent
Talwin: Shakes head
Talwin: This is one puzzle that's driving me crazy
Talwin: I'll make the necessary arrangements
Snezana: thank you. i look forward to the findings
Talwin: I love that our protectorate seems to have serious and professional guardsman
Talwin: We'll have to figure out who all want's to go and what gifts to bring
BOB Back to Licornah and Bixi
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Palma I came back with the poltice for you
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Well they said they could make one for you
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] I even brought an Elf for you
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Some sort of healer I think she is
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Licornah, the elf, is an accomplished healer. I think she can help you
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Do you mind if she takes a look at your ankle?
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] I am going to go boil some water
Palma Romine : [Translation] That would be good Karleen
Palma Romine : [Translation] and yes please if you can help with this, I would like to get back on my feet
Bixi Fizzlebang: Go ahead Licornah, I've let her know you're here to take a look at her ankle and try to heal it
Bixi Fizzlebang: Her name is Palma
Licornah: :: smiles as she approaches :: Thanks, Bixi...
Licornah: [SKILL] Healing (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 13]
Licornah: [SKILL] Anatomy (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]
Licornah: :: examines her injury to determine remove Poison or another option makes more sense ::
BOB Yes to it being a snake bite, it does look very irritated
BOB Likely is a venom of some sort
Licornah: Okay... one moment, trying to take care of this Bixi, can you let her know to hold still a few more moments please?
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] If you can, please hold as still as possible, so she can finish the healing
Lorie (Licornah): (Casting Neutralize Poison)
BOB and it clears up almost instantly, just a bit of swelling left as the puss dries up and magically disapates
Palma Romine : [Translation] WOW that is amazing
Palma Romine : [Translation] I feel so much better
Bixi Fizzlebang: She said she feels so much better already, great job Licornah!
Licornah: :: nods :: Glad to hear she's feeling better. Please ask her to elevate it for another hour or so
Licornah: Thanks for interpreting
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Here is your hot water
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] now do you want me to get a stick for her to bite down on ?
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Are we going to have to cut her foot open?
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Licornah says you should try to keep the ankle elevated for another hour or so to finish the healing process
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Finish?!
Bixi Fizzlebang: smiles
Palma Romine : [Translation] Look, the Elf Priestess healed me
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] No, Karleen, she is mostly healed now
Palma Romine : [Translation] It is all better now
Palma Romine : [Translation] We can go dancing tonight
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Yes, but if you try to use it again too soon, it can make the injury worse again
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Please rest
Palma Romine : [Translation] So no lifting
Bixi Fizzlebang: She wants to go dancing tonight, you've cured her so well
Palma Romine : [Translation] She is getting heavy anyway she says with a wink

Pulls out two small gems
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Oh! I hadn't even thought of that... I will ask Licornah since it was her work
Bixi Fizzlebang: They are offering to pay us
Licornah: :: squirms :: Ummm, that's okay.
Licornah: Lurue calls on me to heal as a way to give back for the gifts I'm given. I do good to help others.
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Licornah is a total weirdo, she doesn't like getting paid. But I will accept one gem on behalf of both of us, if you can spare it. If you can't, it's alright, we are happy to help
Hands over one small gem
Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Thank you very much for your kindness and help
Bixi Fizzlebang: I talked them down to half payment

Karleen Wickham : [Translation] Thank you again, both of you
Bixi Fizzlebang : [Translation] Licornah has asked that you try to help others whenever possible. And on behalf of both of us, don't be a stranger. Please visit the tea shop again, I will have Rae make you a pot on the house!

Bixi Fizzlebang: What a lovely couple
Licornah: :: nod :: Agreed.
Licornah: Good to see the best in people
Licornah: Okay, I guess we should head back. Mind the treant and the snakes I guess
Bixi Fizzlebang: laughs
