'Michael' connected
Michael: Hello Hello :) I'm only on until about 8:00 PM tonight. I have a long drive ahead of me. :(

Michael: I have worries LOL
BOB and I will post tomorrow about the Next Era
Michael: OK
Michael: Yeah, I have a love/hate relationship with Driving at NIght. Sigh
BOB HUGS
BOB How is the heat for you?
Michael: Well...I'm in Utah at the moment, so a comfy 78 degrees. I'll let you know when I step into the Blast Funcace that is Phx when I arrive
BOB Yeah your tires will melt
Michael: I'm still working remotely, but travelling more. I do it because I really want to keep the primary privelege of Remote and prove I'm worth my job.
Michael: It's only once a month, so not too big a deal
Michael: But still, this time of year for PHX, I'll be partially outdoors during some of that time....
BOB I did a submarine event today
BOB outside in a heat advisory and then a thunderstorm comes up to stop us about 15 minutes in
Michael: 15 minutes?
Michael: Well, at least you weren't visiting the Titanic
BOB It was raining and I was ok, but when the thunder starts have to tell people to go in
Michael: When you say Submarine, just to be clear
Michael: ...
Michael: The Ocean kind of Submarine?
BOB underwater drone
BOB can go 300 feet down
'Lorie' connected
Michael: Ah, wondered if you had setup the VR system for a military tour of decommissioned Submarines
BOB Hey Lorie
Michael: Hi Lorie!
BOB That would be simple and easy Michael, grins
Michael: Well you said Thunderstorm and I was like...I need more details on this event haha
Michael: The best part of my Home (still feels weird saying that) is I have a fully dedicated room for VR. Hoping to get the Treadmill after I get my emergency fund build up, and then getting the haptic feedback vest. Really want to see the different thigns VR is doing
Michael: Also lost like twenty pounds doing Pavlov.
Michael: Crazy stuff
BOB smiles
Lorie: Evening all -- sorry, I had updated once today (twice this week) and then there was another update this afternoon
BOB Yes to Lorie, there was a tweak needed for two different game systems
Lorie: I saw your post, but didn't realize there was a 2nd update today -- my bad
BOB No worries
BOB I update three or four times a week now, I have 800+ items that might need an update
Lorie: That's a lot -- I check it twice usually
'Carissa' connected
BOB Welcome Carissa! No horses are good horses
Lorie: Evening Carissa
Michael: Hi Carissa
Carissa: Hi all!
BOB Did you see the no horses are good horses
Michael: (feel like I missed a funny joke, but will check later LOL)
Carissa: Nope. I'd agree, but next week's already confirmed. But they're on the flight that usually doesn't cancel so I may just be late or not at all.
Carissa: Sorry *usually isn't late
Carissa: ...so I may not be late at all. I woke from a nap. I need patience.
BOB warm smile
Carissa: Also more severe storms coming through so we'll see how that goes here soon.
Carissa: Oh, and I just need to note in chat that I made sure to wake up from my nap SO I COULD BE HERE BEFORE YOU LEMON.
BOB LOL
Michael: So...I'll be back. Going to get refill and use restroom :)
BOB ol

Sharif: Anybody try Dave the Diver? It's really fun
Carissa: I bought it, but haven't had a chance to play it yet. How far in are you?
Carissa: and/or how many hours?
Sharif: Still in the beginning parts so not far, I actually picked it up in early access and played for a bit, then stopped, then with the full release I started over
Michael: And I'm back. Sorry about that. Also I love Dave the Diver. It's so cute and Dave is just so adorable

Lorie: One of my friends growing up lives there now... he posts the daily temp
BOB So as the group is cleaning up things and dealing with the end of the wagons
Michael (Talwin): I'm roughyl there a quarter of every month at outdoor company sites and occassional mine visits. I know exactly how hot it is :)
Michael (Talwin): Yay wagons :)
Sharif: brb
Lorie: How many hours drive is that for you? That feels far...

Michael (Talwin): I try not to think about it
Michael (Talwin): Great for Audiobooks though :)
BOB Or podcasts from Broward Library Creation Station
Lorie: Oofah... I could be half way to South Florida at 11 hours :)
Michael (Talwin): Hehehe, don't let it go to your head that I do that bob :)
BOB Thank you!
Carissa: lol
Michael (Talwin): You are lucky to have a radio worthy voice that isn't grating to listen to. I've had to stop audiobooks because I thought the Narrator would cause me to gouge out my eardrums
BOB Seriously I had a goal of 25 per month and I am at 259 per month so thank you for helping crush goals
BOB and Thank you Sir
Michael (Talwin): Happy to help lol
Michael (Talwin): Now, I belive Talwin has something to do? :) Just don't want to leave group hanging at worst possible time haha
BOB Everyone comes along
BOB Talwin heads south towards Redfern Lake and around to Jistille Estates
BOB and when you arrive in Otsuan
BOB Michael do you know why that is a place you remember?
Michael (Talwin): Sigh. Frankly no? Was that the site of Mimics by any chance?
Michael (Talwin): We have so many places to remember some times
BOB Exactly
Michael (Talwin): Wow. First try!
Michael (Talwin): Damn
Michael (Talwin): Rubbing off on me Lisa
Michael (Talwin): slash Carissa
Carissa: lol
Carissa: good!
Michael (Talwin): So, what are we solving with this place today?
Michael (Talwin): Should we just raze it to the ground Mordor style?
Michael (Talwin): I don't have any handy rings about though
TMO (Craigh): The Mimics Strike Back
BOB Talwin and the group wandering down the road following along behind the wagons you were investigating
Ritic Pellerelli: Hello there Sir Talwin!
Ritic Pellerelli: Welcome Welcome!
Michael (Talwin): (Oh please let me not want to strangle someone today)
Ritic Pellerelli: It has been so long since you have been here
Talwin: Smiles
Talwin: Inwardly Cringes
Talwin: Yes
Talwin: It has been awhile
Talwin: Are you well?
Ritic Pellerelli: Will you be here for a couple of days?
Talwin: PTSD from houses
Ritic Pellerelli: I am great!
Ritic Pellerelli: We have two tours booked in the next week
Talwin: Blinks
Ritic Pellerelli: and it would be GREAT if you were here for them
Talwin: Sigh
Talwin: I have a feeling I know where this is going....
Talwin: Can you tell me what I'll be doing?
Talwin: Good Naturedly, slightly amused
Craigh: Signing autographs, maybe?
Ritic Pellerelli: Telling our clients about all your adventures with the Ghost Houses
Michael (Talwin): More then likely being shown the place I almost was dissolved into Mimc goo
Talwin: More then likely being shown the place I almost was dissolved into Mimc goo
Talwin: back to Craigh
Talwin: I would be happy to
Ritic Pellerelli: We have three people who have paid for the Exclusive Tour, and I was going to ask Howard to be here
Ritic Pellerelli: But you would be a star if you can make it
Talwin: Smiles wryly
TMO (Craigh): Coming up on the next episode of House Hunters!
Ritic Pellerelli: It is a great thing to have you here
Talwin: If it would be special for you, I'm happy to help. But I'm afraid I won't be able to be too long
Ritic Pellerelli: How do you like your steaks?
Talwin: Smiles
'Lemon' connected
BOB Hello Lemon
Talwin: Well, I"m afraid I like to ruin my steaks by having just barely pink in the middle
Ritic Pellerelli: Oh
Talwin: Haven't had much meat lately
Ritic Pellerelli: well everyone has something to work on
Talwin: Smiles
Talwin: Indeed I do
Ritic Pellerelli: We can fix that for you
Talwin: Tries not to cringe again
Ritic Pellerelli: If you can just have a bit of a tear in your cloak
'Spring' connected
Talwin: Eyes widen
BOB Hello Srping!
Talwin: I'm sorry, this was a gift from Admiral Indigo
BOB Spring even
Talwin: Is there a spare you can let me wear?
Ritic Pellerelli: OH even better
Carissa (Raelynn): (Hi Lemon! Ho Spring!)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hello!
Michael (Talwin): Shakes head. "I would dishoner Admiral Indigo by harming his gift. He would be dissapointed in me. Surely we shouldn't do such a thing"
Talwin: Shakes head. "I would dishoner Admiral Indigo by harming his gift. He would be dissapointed in me. Surely we shouldn't do such a thing"
Talwin: I don't mind buying a spare from town if that would help
Talwin: You could come up with a funny story for it, and then sell it to the tourists later for a tidy profit
Ritic Pellerelli: Sir Talwin here who is a close friend of Admrial Indigo, is going to tell us all about what it was like that night when Countess Branwyn the Mysterious encountered the Ghost Hosues for the first time and how she strengthened Sir Talwin to withstand the attacks
Licornah: (Happy Friday Spring)
Michael (Talwin): (So, I don't mind doing, but who am I speaking too? For dramatic affect of course)
Spring (Springity Thingity): hi and thanks
Michael (Talwin): Also hi Spring :)
BOB Ritic Pellerelli, is the Inn Keeper at the inn across the road from the place where you encountered the ghost houses
Talwin: Yes, but he's acting like I'm talking to people. Who are the people? Or is this a dry run?
Michael (Talwin): Yes, but he's acting like I'm talking to people. Who are the people? Or is this a dry run?
Michael (Talwin): OOC
BOB So far just him (Ritic)
Michael (Talwin): ...
Michael (Talwin): Can I just type this once? Please?
Michael (Talwin): Will like "repeat" with guests?
Ritic Pellerelli: So Sir Talwin can I host you for three? four weeks?
Michael (Talwin): I'll start typing now, will be a few minutes
Ritic Pellerelli: I have two tour groups right now lined up but I can do more
TMO (Craigh): that's not how giving speeches works, Michael. ;)
Talwin: Shakes head. "We have urgent business at the protectorate. I'd be delighted to stay for a day or so for the sake of our group, but we are ensuring some legal matters are taken care off on behalf of the Countess"
Michael (Talwin): "You know the stories, I dare not offend the Countess"
Talwin: "You know the stories, I dare not offend the Countess"
Talwin: (OK, Starting the Paragraphs)
Michael (Talwin): (OK, Starting the Paragraphs)
Ritic Pellerelli: I would be glad to have you here, every time you would host a tour you would get one forth of the fees they pay
Michael (Talwin): Sigh. ALT, ALT, ALT
BOB As I let Michael type away
BOB Bixi, Licornah, Rae, Zayden, and Youtarim are in Hourglass
BOB and escorting more wagons south or north
Spring (Lanek Olenak): maybe if you waltz in your mind when you are typing? ALT-2-3 TYPE-2-3 ... give the alt two beats to kick in?
Shislif (Zayden): we're in hourglass and escorting the wagons?
BOB Can you waltz in a stright line?
BOB Yes to Sharif, the group here is escorting wagons up and down the roadway
BOB you are headquartered in Hourglass
Shislif (Zayden): cool
BOB and when you tell me you want to be there you are
Spring (Lanek Olenak): i can. waltz in a straight line
BOB but overall Talwin has you going up and down the road because of his paranoia about empty wagons
Shislif (Zayden): Ugh
BOB and yes to Zayden, he wants to build his theater business up
Lorie (Licornah): (AFK need to check on Aurora)
BOB so Sharif, tell me what do you think that Zayden will be doing to build up an audience here in the Protectorate
Shislif (Zayden): oh ok so Zay is advertising/marketing while we walk up and down?
Shislif (Zayden): does he have flyers?
BOB Yes plus what else?
BOB You can have them yes
Shislif (Zayden): cool
BOB and there is that much larger Estate just north to advertise to also
BOB and the Queen's Estate just to the south of Dragon Fen
Spring (Lanek Olenak): i guess Lanek is watching for or inspecting wagons with Talwin
BOB Can do Spring
BOB and or Lanek can be thinking about establishing his own Thieves Guild on this side of Dragon Fen away from Foriso Town and the Lighthouse
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well, I guess I'll hang out with Zayden
BOB Nice for Bixi
Shislif (Zayden): yay!
Shislif (Zayden): why does Craigh look like one of those old doctors?
BOB As the two of you collaborate on a new show for the theater and attracting new people
BOB I will duck away to the restroom and be back for Michael's big reveal
Shislif (Zayden): sounds good
BOB brb
TMO (Craigh): I don't have a custom avatar for him yet, so was browsing the standard pics for anything even remotely close. Nothing fits for 'mongrelman' of course, but this was one of the options for 'masked sorcerer'
TMO (Craigh): this one ain't horrible either
Shislif (Zayden): Hey Lemon, we could pick up on our Rock Opera (about Talwin?), or we could try to do something more popular/mainstreak to attract that initial audience, then do rock opera
Zayden: Lol nice TMO
Shislif (Zayden): OOC
Talwin: You all know the stories of the Dragonslayers, I have met many fates close to death, but without the courage and strengh of our merry band, and especially the fearsome Countess, I could not be here with you today. There is a reason for her mystique, she keeps the Estate, and the Estate keeps her. We investigated this town, and the quiet was intense, and oddly horrific. We'd heard stories, but they gave no description of what had occurred in such a place. We approached carefully, suspecting something amiss, but there were nothing but houses. No people, no animals. Just an odd silence in the Mist. I approached a house, and on a whim and with some advice from collegues slammed my sword against a wall. Why? I still know not. Either way, I quickly became embroiled in a fight I still have not experience since. For the houses were not houses at all. They were mimics. They were of monstrous size, and baffle my imagination. I could not believe such a things existed. [Shudders for Dramtic Effect] I only managed a swing or two before it ate me whole. I simply dissapeared from one second to the next into a stomach full of foul liquid. But in a rare fit of folly, and with my concentration shattered by the feeling of being consumed by the giant mimic, I felt for a potion of poison at my belt, thinking it had been a different potion alltogether. [Grins Wryly] I'm certain you know what happened next. The mimic fell upon my friends, even more monstrous, and filled with poisonous intent. But even in my fit of folly and despair, there was the Countess. Wrath upon her face as she flung her fire at the beasts as Admiral indgo cut his way into the beast and extracted me [Fondly remembering (althrough credit where credit is due because frankly I don't remember the details. Sorry Guys)]. The beast SCREAMED in agony as it dissolved under the countesses barrage, the Mimics fell one by one to the Countess, and we finished them off, one by one. The screaming agony of the false houses fell silent...one...by...one in the fading mists, becoming roasted sludges upon the earth. To this day, there are whispers that there were other mimics, who upon seeing their larger brethern fall by the Countesses wrath, fled into the Mists, biding there time to return to the estate, when the Power of the Countess finally wanes. But, as you know, and we suspect, it continues to grow, and will soon purge this land of the Mimic threat and beyond. The protectorate and her estate continues to this day to teach the lesson of Talwin's Folly. Especially in Potions lessons [Smiling Wryly]. Many stories have been told about me, but this one is of my favorites, because it shows two things. First, is that I make mistakes. Second, that the Countess will overpower and crush her enemies....[Fades out of story]. Today, this town hustles and bustles, but secretly, they stand on ground that the Countess Razed for them to have a future here. I only ask that you remember that although no one perished that fateful day, we only hoped to secure a brighter future in this place...for you...and your future. If you could please return your attention to your Tour Guide, and be respectful of this place, you will have my gratitude. Thank you for taking the time to learn about and see this remarkable historical landmark...forever obscured...by the mists.
Michael (Talwin): Thank god that is over with.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hmmm, yeah, might be a bit too forward to do the rock opera just yet. Like when Michael J. Fox plays electric guitar in Back to the Future.
User has gone AFK. (Carissa)
Licornah: (BAK)
Michael (Talwin): (Hopefully didn't give anyone a stroke or something)
Shislif (Zayden): Yea I was thinking the same Lemon
Craigh: "Merry Band"?
Talwin: Sighs
Zayden: Wow crazy story Tal
Craigh: whistles amusedly.
Talwin: Oh shut up Craigh
Talwin: Smiles
Talwin: You try being dissovled in a poisonous mimic house and let me know your thoughts on the matter
Craigh: Pass!
Talwin: And to be fair, back then I was a bit more merry banded. I hadn't met my sword yet
Talwin: Ritic? Is that okay?
Lanek Olenak: applauds
Talwin: Chuckles
Talwin: Thank you Lanek
Spring (Lanek Olenak): sorry it took me some time to read it, i had to copy/paste it into a more visible format
Michael (Talwin): Oh god, post that in Chat GBT and ask it to make it readable for you
Michael (Talwin): I'm getting worried bob...
BOB That was very nice Michael
Michael (Talwin): Do you want me to fix?
Michael (Talwin): Oh okay
Ritic Pellerelli: WOW Sir Talwin
Ritic Pellerelli: you really sell yourself short there
Ritic Pellerelli: I mean the Countess is great and all,
Spring (Lanek Olenak): i'm not supposed to be visually impaired, but FG is testing my conviction on that
Ritic Pellerelli: But you were the one that got swallowed
Talwin: Winces
Talwin: Yes, but it truthfully was my fault
Ritic Pellerelli: No one remembers the others people in the boat when that guy got swallowed
Talwin: Snorts
Talwin: True enough
Ritic Pellerelli: You went into the belly of the Beast and came out on the other side
Ritic Pellerelli: You are a hero!
Talwin: With help
Talwin: But yes
Lanek Olenak: snorts
Talwin: Not too being a hero
Lanek Olenak: he didnt come out the aft end
Talwin: But with help
Talwin: Laughs
Talwin: Lanek, you always make me laugh
Talwin: And thank gods not through that end
Ritic Pellerelli: Like being born again
Craigh: Hmm... Do mimics poop?
Talwin: I don't want to know Craigh

Ritic Pellerelli: Oh and here is your proceeds Sir Talwin
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh god, not the poop conversation again
Hands over 3 GP
Talwin: Shakes head
Talwin: Keep it
Talwin: It was my pleasure
User is back. (Carissa)
Ritic Pellerelli: That is what we made from selling your holy symbols
Talwin: Coughs
Talwin: What?
User has gone AFK. (Carissa)
Ritic Pellerelli: Well not exactly holy but people want a bit of the hero
Ritic Pellerelli: so we sell them a piece of your cloak
Talwin: Smiles
Ritic Pellerelli: The actual cloak you were swallowed in
Talwin: Ah
Talwin: I see
Talwin: Well, a hero is fine, but definitely not Holy. I hear rumors about things like that. Best not to get on the wrong side of the church eh?
Ritic Pellerelli: OH we can pay any bribes the church needs
Michael (Talwin): If you want other relics however, I'd be happy to donate old things from intense journeys. I'd humbly request you to give back to the community a percentage however
Talwin: If you want other relics however, I'd be happy to donate old things from intense journeys. I'd humbly request you to give back to the community a percentage however
Talwin: I require no payment, but only have a few things. Some I wish to keep, but others....
Ritic Pellerelli: What ever you need Sir Talwin
Talwin: Nods back at Ritic. Really, keep the GP. You are doing good work here. Keep people's spirits raised
Talwin: Make them feel safe and that this is a home to be proud of
Ritic Pellerelli: We have been selling your cloak, the mud off of your boots that day, and of course samples of your hair
Talwin: Keeps a straight face, but sideyes Craigh
Talwin: Yes
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You all with your requiring no payment... can't wait to see what happens when we are all broke lol.
Talwin: Well
Talwin: .....
Lorie (Licornah): (He's Justin Bieber!)
Talwin: Not really sure what to say, other then to keep up the good work
Talwin: Smiles
Michael (Talwin): (Lemon, we will never go broke at this point. LOL.)
Craigh: innocently gazes about the countryside.
Michael (Talwin): (I'm curious what it will be like when we actually have to spend carefully)
Michael (Talwin): (Kind of a new challenge to explore)
Michael (Talwin): (exciting)
Ritic Pellerelli: Thank you so much Sir Talwin
Talwin: Bows deeply
Talwin: Thank you
Ritic Pellerelli: I am certain that the people traveling with you feel you are just as amazing
Michael (Talwin): (But seriously, no Holy Relics. Didn't someone say that if enough people believe, that actually has an effect on the world?)
Talwin: Ah
Craigh: Oh yes, and we tell him so at breakfast, every morning.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh, we are
Talwin: Clearly you haven't met Bixi
Talwin: Grins widely
Talwin: They remind me that I'm nothing too special
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): rude!
Ritic Pellerelli: Sweet Bixi?
Talwin: And I'd be nothing without their compaioship
Ritic Pellerelli: Is she with you?
Talwin: Bellows a laugh despite himself
Talwin: Yes, Sweet Bixi
Talwin: Smiles broadly
Ritic Pellerelli: It is said her touch is the same as honey
Michael (Talwin): (Actually, is Bixi here by any chance?)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hahahahaha
Michael (Talwin): (I don't think so, but)
Talwin: And just as sparkly as well
Talwin: Nods sagely
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Nope, sorry, I'm out with Zayden, patrolling for the empty wagons you're so worried about
Spring (Lanek Olenak): oooooh that hair thing is gonna come back to bite him, isn't it?
Ritic Pellerelli: Well if you ever get the chance it would be wonderful to have some of Bixi's hair too
Talwin: Sighs
Talwin: I will let her know that it would give hope to people's lives
Ritic Pellerelli: Jilly tells us as long as we pay our taxes we can attribute what we want to you
Lorie (Licornah): (these people seem creepy.. what are they REALLY doing with that hair...)
Talwin: Of course she does
Talwin: Blandly
Ritic Pellerelli: I promise we are keeping a strict accounting
Ritic Pellerelli: Jilly would skin us alive if we did not
Ritic Pellerelli: (softely) I can see why the Countess uses her
Talwin: Smiles wryly. Trust me Ritic. You would prefer Jilly, to the Countess
Ritic Pellerelli: Well thank you so much Sir Talwin
Michael (Talwin): (Okay, I've ass kissed neough tonight LOL!!!)
Ritic Pellerelli: I hope you get some rest and we will see you later on this week
BOB and now you see how legends grow
BOB and then fade into Mist
Talwin: Smiles despite himself.
TMO (Craigh): St Talwin the Just (Annoyed)
BOB HAH
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Michael (Talwin): Actually, I am curious bob.
BOB Yes?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lollll
Michael (Talwin): Is that how that works? If people start thinking you are a St. eventually despite your best intentions you actually become one?
Michael (Talwin): In this world?
Michael (Talwin): A hero i'm fine with, but being some sort of twisted perversion of what Talwin was far beyond his actual date of death would creep me out
BOB Yes, if you have people who really believe, and attest to others about their experience, it grows over time and AHHHHHHH someone becomes a Saint
Michael (Talwin): Oof
Michael (Talwin): Well....I'm not sure what to think about that
Michael (Talwin): LOL
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.SaintCligProdint">(LINK)</a>
BOB Saint Clig Prodint
User is back. (Carissa)
Michael (Talwin): I mean, intellectually it sounds cool right? But in reality, people spread rumors about things that didn't actually happen, and before you know it, Talwin wasnt' a paragon of the people, he was a Janus, helpful to the people, and also a terrifying strangler of people.
BOB and now we move to Raelynn and her surprise appearance at the Queen's court
Michael (Talwin): (I mean, he WAS those things, but still)
Michael (Talwin): :)
Lorie (Licornah): (Yeah for Talwin... )
Michael (Talwin): Have fun Raelynn!
Michael (Talwin): Pff, Licornah will become a God at some point just by feeding the Protectorate with her abilities to grow things that should not be able to grow. She' s probably beloved more then any of us
Lorie (Licornah): (LOL... I highly doubt that... but thanks for the kind words)
BOB but also we have the events at the Inn of the Lost Eagle
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I didn't even know she could do that. Nice!
BOB Involving Bixi, Licornah and who ever wants to be there
Michael (Talwin): (Hey, we may fight for the people, but people need food more then anything. Don't forget that Licornah does cool shit all the time)
Spring (Lanek Olenak): okay Lanek's there
BOB letting you all gather your selves and then decide who wants to leave The Mist to go into the Innn
Michael (Talwin): I dont' want Mist Sickness right now if that's alright.
Michael (Talwin): Also, BRB
BOB Anyone who goes IN does not get it, it is when you come out that it happens
Carissa (Raelynn): (oops sorry cat and storms I'm here)
BOB Carissa missed Rae's time in the Queen's Court telling the fortunes of all the princes and princesses
BOB They were very impressed by her
Carissa (Raelynn): ok
BOB When the Royal Family was in Jistille for spring break
BOB Now the group is back in Hourglass and Bixi wants to check in on the Inn and on Gerry
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Wait, what? Did we just skip a whole storyline?
Shislif (Zayden): Zayden will follow Bix!
BOB Who's dread of returning to The Mist is overcome by the desire to see the Sun again when in the courtyard
Licornah: (Sorry, BOB, I might be lost... weren't we jumping to Rae?)
Lorie (Licornah): (and then we're going to the Sun?)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, that's what I thought too
BOB No that was an aside for Carissa being AFK
BOB For her to come back to see
Lorie (Licornah): (ahhhh....gotcha. We switched chapters, got it. Thanks)
Shislif (Zayden): brb
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Bixi Fizzlebang: I kind of want to see what fortunes she would tell at the royal court
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
BOB and now Bixi, Zayden
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): finger slipped
BOB Carissa is very capable of filling you in afterwards
BOB It is unlikely that you were there in the private audience
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I meant seeing it as a player, not as a character
BOB smiles
BOB So Bixi, Licornah(?) Zayden, and????
Shislif (Zayden): hello
BOB The new and improved(?) criagh?
TMO (Craigh): Craigh will pass unless he's asked along. The sun and him don't get along well
Spring (Lanek Olenak): Lanek
Raelynn: Rae? Nae? I'm guessing it'll be a longer story so Craigh should come so TMO has something to do. And whoever of mine. Probably Rae.
TMO (Craigh): it's not vital though, so if you want him, he's willing
BOB Probably good to have everyone there
Lorie (Licornah): (I will tag along... )
BOB So that everyone gets to express their feelings
BOB and add their thoughts
User has gone AFK. (Spring)
Shislif (Zayden): so what are Zay and Bix up to again?
Shislif (Zayden): whoa nice
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yes, Zay will obviously invite Craigh to whatever show he's about to put on at the inn. Or we can be celebrating something
BOB Solving a mystery at the Inn, then putting on a big show in Zayden's theater
BOB When it is all over
Shislif (Zayden): cool
TMO (Craigh): C'mon gang! Let's split up and search for clues!
Shislif (Zayden): Why would Zay obvious invite Cragh?
Shislif (Zayden): besides it ryhming of course
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Because he's Craigh!
Shislif (Zayden): well yea, but Zay doesn't like to be told to do stuff
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Why WOULDN'T Zay invite him?
Shislif (Zayden): he likes to subvert expectations
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok well then Rae will obviously invite him
BOB Exactl;y
Shislif (Zayden): carefuly with that word!
Gerry: Hello Bixi, it is nice to see you here again
Shislif (Zayden): obviously
User is back. (Spring)
Carissa (Raelynn): very much would
Bixi Fizzlebang: Hello Gerry! I've missed you! How's business?
Gerry: Things are very good
Gerry: Would you like a drink?
Lanek Olenak: puts a coin on the bar
Gerry: I have this new things that came to me this morning, it is a rum and honey mix
Gerry: I can make it up for you
Bixi Fizzlebang: Two! Indigo's not here, I have to make up for it. And that sounds delicious
Lanek Olenak: ale fer me
Gerry: Very glad to make some for you
Gerry: I can make a full pitcher
Raelynn: not the bad honey right?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That actually sounds delicious IRL as well.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I am now suddenly craving rum and honey.
Pulls down a jar of sparkling honey and a jug from behind the counter
Spring (Lanek Olenak): LOL
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, but am I supposed to notice and stop him?
Carissa (Raelynn): one way to find out
Michael (Talwin): back
Michael (Talwin): :)
Bixi Fizzlebang: Wait, Gerry!
Bixi Fizzlebang: That's not the honey I think it is, is it?
Gerry: Opens the rum and pours into six mugs
Bixi Fizzlebang: You can't use that!
Gerry: What honey?
Bixi Fizzlebang: The sparkly honey
Gerry: It is pretty isn't it?
Zayden: what makes the honey sparkle?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Time travel dust, Zayden
Lanek Olenak: time magic
Zayden: nice
Lanek Olenak: we do not want to drink the time magic
Gerry: Opens up the jug with the honey
Craigh: How many people have so far?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Absolutely do not
Bixi Fizzlebang: No, Gerry, stop!
Zayden: what would happen if we did?
Lanek Olenak: and i don't want a prissy drink anyway
Raelynn: Uh, Gerry? Did you really forget?
Raelynn: Rum is prissy?
Lanek Olenak: honey is prissy. when in a drink
Lanek Olenak: on a scone, it's manly
Raelynn: Oh, of course, of course...
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm not sure scones are ever manly...
Spring (Lanek Olenak): nods definitively
Lanek Olenak: nods definitively
Gerry: Allyana told me about this one this morning, it seemed really nice so I thought I would make it for my friends
Raelynn: But you DO remember about the whole honey incident?
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'm sure it is very nice, but you not with time travel honey
Gerry: What time travel honey?
Gerry: I have this here,
Holds up sparkling honey
Gerry: Which other would I use?
Gerry: It was up there on the tall shelf
Craigh: Yeah, this isn't concerning at all.
Raelynn: Um, Gerry? Did you hit your head recently...?
Raelynn: [SKILL] Diagnostics [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 4]
Gerry: I don't think so
Raelynn: You're the one who mixed the sand into the honey. It was a very big deal. How do you not remember?
-> Raelynn: He is acting confused from what Rae remembers
Raelynn: cleary
Raelynn: You seem very confused today.
Gerry: I don't think so,
Gerry: it was like most days
Gerry: then we had that problem with the cask of ale
Gerry: then we did the midday meal
Gerry: and then it seems to be ok
Raelynn: Problem?
Craigh: May I see the honey jar for a moment, Gerry?
Gerry: Holds up the sparkling honey jar to Craigh
Craigh: gestures for him to slide it over the counter to him
Craigh: gestures for him to slide it over the counter to him
Gerry: There was the problem this morning with the girl in the ale but we fixed that
Licornah: :: not sure if she's going to drink or not... sand, time travel honey...oh my ::
Lanek Olenak: the what?
Bixi Fizzlebang: The girl IN the ale?
Slides the honey over to Craigh
Lanek Olenak: nevermind, i don't want ale
Craigh: takes the jar of honey and casts over it
Craigh: [CAST] Detect Magic
BOB DING DING DING very magic
BOB Blainding
BOB Blinding
Craigh: burbles sadly
Spring (Lanek Olenak): so it didn't stop being magic
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ummm
Gerry: Beneger thinks we will be fine
Raelynn: Who?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Who?
Gerry: Beneger, the cook?
Zayden: there an owl in the house?
Gerry: Don't y ou remember him?
Bixi Fizzlebang: The name sounds familiar but... I don't recall if I met him
Raelynn: Considering you don't remember the honey incident, I'm surprised you remember...
Craigh: keeps the jar held on the counter in front of him.
Gerry: So I can make that drink for you now if you give me back the honey
Craigh: shakes his head no.
Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't think that's a good idea
Bixi Fizzlebang: I'll take the ale... unless there was actually a girl in it. If that's the case, just water for now...
Raelynn: Where did the girl go?
Gerry: I will have Bixi (+2) and Licornah and Rae make Intuition checks
Raelynn: And why did Beneger think it'll be okay?
Raelynn: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 15] [d20 = 1]
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Where do I find that?
Carissa (Raelynn): WIS roll
Gerry: Wisdome
Bixi Fizzlebang: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 18]
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ah, thank you
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): of course.
TMO (Craigh): and for some reason I read that as Bob asking them to roll Intimidation checks...
Carissa (Raelynn): harder to remember since FG doesn't split them
Shislif (Zayden): sry
Gerry: Beneger said not to worry about the girl in the ale
Licornah: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]
Carissa (Raelynn): (what about Rae's 1?)
Bixi Fizzlebang: More information
Licornah: (sorry, checking on Aurora again... recovering pup is recovering)
Bixi Fizzlebang: Was she... swimming? Drowning?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Did she disappear?
-> Raelynn: Obliviax, or memory moss, is an evil black moss with the ability to steal memories, even memorized spells.
Raelynn: OH! Wait. Gerry, have you been having problems with... mold or moss?
Lanek Olenak: why don't we just go and look at the ale?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Sure we can look, but if she's not there now, what good does that do?
Raelynn: This almost sounds like that story Shi told me....
Gerry: She was forced into the ale to hide her from the enemies
Raelynn: Bixi, we need to check for moss.
Lanek Olenak: Gerry didn't say she was gone, just that it was fixed
Raelynn: Or evil spells. Or something. Clearly Gerry is... a bit delusional right now.
Raelynn: You found that yellow mold once. Where should we start?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Well... I guess let's look around, see if anything is growing inside
BOB Devil inside, the Devil inside, every single one of us the Devil inside
Craigh: I'll just keep an eye on the honey here.
Bixi Fizzlebang: If it's a plant causing this problem, it's probably nearby... I would think outside plants wouldn't cause much trouble from way out there...
Raelynn: nods
Raelynn: Keep an eye on the honey AND Gerry. He needs.... a babysitter.
Raelynn: Tell us what to do, Plant Mistress!
Michael (Talwin): Could always be Time literally breaking apart at the seams here. It's a temporal displacement
Craigh: nods.
Michael (Talwin): but that's dark thoughts LOL
Craigh: Can do.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Gerry, do you mind if we take a look behind the bar?
Lorie (Licornah): (three cheers for IXIS)
Bixi Fizzlebang: Just look around, see if you notice anything growing. Anything at all
Licornah: [SKILL] Observation (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 14]
Gerry: Of course, come on back Bixi, I have that special jasmine plant thing you told me to keep aside for Raelynn's tea when she is here
Lorie (Licornah): (Looking)
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok, but is the jasmine really jasmine?
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 5]
-> Licornah: There is a very large barrel of what looks like Ale back in the corner of the kitchen behind the bar
Licornah: Where the cook is?
'Carissa' disconnected
-> Bixi Fizzlebang: Bixi smells somethign not normal, like back when she was on the lake, the air and water
-> Licornah: back behind the cook yes
Licornah: :: nods :: Got it!
'Carissa' connected
Bixi Fizzlebang: Does anyone else smell... like... I don't know how to describe it. Like we're back on the ship?
Gerry: Welcome back Carissa
BOB Welcome back Carissa
Licornah: Bixi... maybe that Ale Barrel in the Kitchen?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Good thought, he did mention the ale. Lanek, care to come with us? If anyone notices something suspicious with ale, it would be you
Licornah: :: muffles a laugh ::
BOB grins
Carissa: (weird, back)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is Yout here?
BOB Yes
Craigh: Gerry, while they're looking around, tell me what's been going on around here lately. Anything interesting or unusual?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Yout, you want to check it out too?
Bixi Fizzlebang: And maybe also Zayden? Whoever has lots of experience with ale
Youtargim: What are you interested in Bixi? Ale is not really my thing, I like rum or other more tropical drinks if wine is not on the table
Bixi Fizzlebang: Not sure... just... anything unusual
Gerry: Not really much new Craigh, I think you are the newest thing here
Lanek Olenak: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 13]
Spring (Lanek Olenak): that was to see if Lanek smells whatever back at the ship means
Gerry: Allynna was interesting to talk to
Zayden: I'm not sure how much experience with Ale I'd say I have, but I'll certainly try some
-> Lanek Olenak: Lanek smells somethign that reminds him of swamp weeds
Raelynn: Well if it's magic, maybe we could detect magic from it?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Heads to the kitchen to check out the barrel (with whoever decides to follow along)
Craigh: Sorry, I missed part of the talk earlier. Who was Allynna?
Zayden: follow
Spring (Lanek Olenak): sorry i missed Lanek being invited to come back
Zayden follows
Craigh: definitely noticed being called a 'thing'
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hopefully Licornah as well, since it was her suggestion?
Lanek Olenak: smells like them weeds. swamp weeds
Gerry: Allynna was the one who came in dripping wet, she was caught out in the rain and needed a place to stay
Gerry: We sorted that out
Raelynn: Swamp weeds...? In ale? Is this his usual shipment?
Lorie (Licornah): (wasn't her friend having issues... )
Bixi Fizzlebang: opens the ale
Craigh: What was so interesting about her?
BOB Bixi makes a Botany roll
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]
BOB and a surprise roll (a d12)
Bixi Fizzlebang: [d12 = 9]
BOB One more Botany roll please
Bixi Fizzlebang: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 13]
Spring (Lanek Olenak): dang, Bixi knows her plants
BOB Shared with Bixi
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Whoa, so many errors
BOB As impossible as it seems
Carissa (Raelynn): nice
Bixi Fizzlebang: slowly backs away
Bixi Fizzlebang: Let's head back to the dining area for a bit
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't want to talk about it in front of it. Just in case
Licornah: :: eyes Bixi :: Ummm... okay then :: looks at the barrel warily ::
Raelynn: If you say so...
Lanek Olenak: shrugs
Bixi Fizzlebang: back in the other room
Lanek Olenak: shuffles out
Bixi Fizzlebang: (whispering) There's a kelpie in the ale
Spring (Lanek Olenak): that sounds like an irish song
Licornah: :: blinks :: How did that get in there???
Youtargim: A what?
Youtargim: Yes to Lanek! that sounds like a song indeed
Raelynn: Huh?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Kelpie. Like... kind of like a siren? But made out of seaweed?
Raelynn: Is that a type of plant?
Spring (Lanek Olenak): LOL that was OOC but thanks anyway
Bixi Fizzlebang: Um... kind of? It will take the form of a human sometimes and... uh... drown people
Bixi Fizzlebang: And it can kind of make your brain funny... I'm guessing that's what happened to Gerry.
Raelynn: Does it take memories? Is that why Gerry is confused?
Licornah: Is it lost?
Lanek Olenak: huh
Bixi Fizzlebang: More of a charm?
Raelynn: Um, so what do we do about it?
Licornah: They are charmers... I've seen these back home.
Raelynn: We can possible countercharm Gerry but... the kelpie is still there.
Bixi Fizzlebang: That I don't know. We definitely can't leave it here though
Licornah: I'm puzzled how it got here... far from home...did it fall off one of those wagons?
BOB grins, and bows thank you
Spring (Lanek Olenak): hehehe
Craigh: I don't suppose that's Allynna?
Raelynn: Who?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Could be
Craigh: The girl who came in soaking wet
Raelynn: Well if it's human sometimes.... can't we talk to her?
Lanek Olenak: he was talking about a girl Alynna. but also about a girl in the ale
Lanek Olenak: it sounded like separate people but they might be the same
Bixi Fizzlebang: I think they usually uh... drown the victims, but maybe she's keeping Gerry around so she has a safe place to hide. But it's a huge risk to any patron... or any worker... I wonder where the cook is...
Licornah: Kelpies like men...
Lorie (Licornah): (Sorry...ooc, not sure if Licornah would know that from home...)
Bixi Fizzlebang: We can definitly TRY to talk to her but...
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Bixi Fizzlebang: There are risks, of course. And kelpies are not usually reasonable, from what I understand. Never encountered one before, personally
Lorie (Licornah): (Anyone know any merfolk??? )
Lanek Olenak: kelpies like men for friends or kelpies like men for breakfast?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Only craigh's arm
BOB ouch
Lorie (Licornah): (men are useful tools and then an evening snack)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We did all meet a merman on the ship
BOB HAH
Bixi Fizzlebang: Not sure, but I would guess both
Raelynn: Both?
Raelynn: But it's almost lunchtime so you might be okay!
Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah like... they could equally be friends or breakfast
Bixi Fizzlebang: Like your chickens, Rae!
Raelynn: My chickens?
Carissa (Raelynn): (MY CHICKENS?!)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): hahahaha
Lorie (Licornah): Poor Gerry, he deserves better than this... Talwin, go snuggle with nice Kelpie...
Carissa (Raelynn): (I'm insulted)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I almost went with ducks but couldn't resist the insult of chickens
Carissa (Raelynn): (I actually want ducks. I cannot do chickens. HPAI has ruined it for me)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I know. Exactly why I thought ducks first, and then switched to chickens
Carissa (Raelynn): Rude
Bixi Fizzlebang: I think it can take other forms too, not just human. Shapeshifter kind of thing, so it's hard to know what we would be dealing with if it turned hostile
Raelynn: Well we know ahead of time so if we're prepared, we're good. And if we all come back confused, Craigh will jump in and save the day!
Bixi Fizzlebang: And the whole charm-type effect...
Craigh: Do you want me to try charming it?
Bixi Fizzlebang: Like, remember when I had to deafen Lanek so he didn't jump into the sea and drown himself? It's like that again
Licornah: :: Nod :: I agree...it can take a few forms if I remember correctly
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Was it Lanek? I hope so lol
Craigh: It may not be vulnerable to the spell though.
Spring (Lanek Olenak): i think it was lanek
Licornah: I could try...
Raelynn: It's hard to charm a charmer. I think some of us will be okay. And maybe she just wants a home?
TMO (Craigh): (would a Kelpie be vulnerable to Charm Person?)
Bixi Fizzlebang: Yeah, I really don't know. Nothing is off the table as far as my knowledge goes. Might be worth a try
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Lorie (Licornah): (I think they are immune to charm TMO IIRC)
TMO (Craigh): well that's annoying
Lorie (Licornah): (I'm immune to Charm, so willing to try to chat)
Carissa (Raelynn): Rae has high resistence as well so we can always attempt
TMO (Craigh): (alright, sounds like it's you two for a bit. I'm being dispatched to fetch dessert, so I'll be back in a few minutes)
Bixi Fizzlebang: If we're going to try talking to it first, I definitely think it should be a woman
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): fetch me some too!
Lorie (Licornah): (Could you make a detour in PA, dessert sounds awesome about now)
Raelynn: Well then, let's go!
TMO (Craigh): you're only an hour and a half away! come get it!
Licornah: :: nods :: Agreed...
Raelynn: You some come, too, Bixi. I mean, stay a bit back, but you know most about kelpies.
Bixi Fizzlebang: At this point, you know everything I know
User has gone AFK. (TMO)
BOB Michael you ok? you about to check out?
BOB Spring, Lorie, Carissa, and Lemon about to go into the Kitchen and show why that is a woman's place? ;P
Raelynn: Wow wanna be smacked? :P
Lorie (Licornah): (more like clean up another mess made by the men LOL)
BOB LOL
Spring (Lanek Olenak): enby. but i'm good in the kitchen or out
BOB and Yes to Lorie
BOB and warm HUGS to Spring
Spring (Lanek Olenak): hugs
BOB I am ready
Spring (Lanek Olenak): Lanek is loitering just outside the door
BOB Tell me Bixi, and Licornah what are you doing?
BOB Lanek and Rae right behind you to back you up
BOB Or shove Zayden into the Kitchen and see what happens?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hahahahaha
Bixi Fizzlebang: Rae or Licornah, do you want to try talking to her first?
Licornah: :: looks at Rae :: let's try and say hello? It might be scared and hungry?
Shislif (Zayden): lol, what're we supposed to do i nthe kitchen?
Raelynn: Hello! We know you're in there! Are you Allanya by chance?
Lorie (Licornah): (If you go in the Kitchen, you might be the next victim... )
Raelynn: *Alyanna
Amlaruil Aire: Hello?
Raelynn: Hi! What are you doing in the ale barrel?
Raelynn: I'm Raelynn, by the way.
Amlaruil Aire: I am hiding from the monsters
Licornah: I'm Licornah ...
Raelynn: Which monsters?
Licornah: No monsters out here... well Talwin before his tea maybe?
Amlaruil Aire: The monsters who shoved me in here and then stole my home
Michael (Talwin): (LOL)
Raelynn: What?! Who took your home?
Raelynn: You're at an inn so I have a feeling you're far from it.
Amlaruil Aire: That makes me sad
Licornah: Where is home?
Raelynn: We can maybe help you.
Amlaruil Aire: I lived in a wide lake, it was warm and soft, full of grass and soft areas, where I could sit and watch the clouds roll by
Raelynn: Redfern Lake?
Amlaruil Aire: Then someone grabbed me and forced me into a net
Raelynn: gasp
Bixi Fizzlebang: That's terrible
Raelynn: But why would they do that?
Licornah: :: frowns :: a net... awful
Amlaruil Aire: I fought back
Amlaruil Aire: I think they were mad at me because their men liked me more than them
Bixi Fizzlebang: Well of course you fought back, good for you
Amlaruil Aire: They were skinny, waif like things that could not survive on their own
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ok, I may have misinterpreted fight back
Amlaruil Aire: Men like strong warm arms wrapped around them, as they feel the deep wet depths
Amlaruil Aire: But I got tangled up and ended up in this tight dark space
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, not my area of expertise... gonna let Rae and Licornah handle this conversation
Licornah: Waif-like, did they have pointy ears? Was their skin golden?
Amlaruil Aire: No? they were very weak, they could not breathe well, they were sad
Carissa (Raelynn): (you're fine keep asking anything you never know)
Raelynn: How long ago do you think that was?
Michael (Talwin): alright knuckleheads, I'm outie for the night. Wish me luck LOL. Hugs :)
'Michael' disconnected
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Luck?
Lorie (Licornah): (Good luck, safe travels, wear sunscreen)
Amlaruil Aire: I think that was a few days?
Raelynn: Hmmm....
Licornah: Why were they sad?
Lorie (Licornah): (He's driving to PHX)
Raelynn: Well you can't live here. An ale barrel is a horrible home. And we do need Gerry to, er, get his wits back about him. I'm guessing he's a bit muddled from your visit?
Amlaruil Aire: The ones who could not breathe did not last
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, people get sad when you drown them. Who would've thought.
Amlaruil Aire: Gerry? Is he the one that is strong and tempting?
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Bixi Fizzlebang: Yep, that's him
Raelynn: Ooooh, you have a crush on him??
Bixi Fizzlebang: What!? No! He's tempting with the drinks. Rum and honey!? Come on! That's incredibly tempting!
Licornah: Gerry is kind...
BOB LOVE who is the temptress here, the Kelpie? or the bartender with rum and honey drinks?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): por que no los dos?
BOB smiles
Raelynn: Ok. Are we trying to make this match work OR trying to find you a new home? I need clarify.
BOB LOL
Licornah: It's far too cold here for a Kelpie
Raelynn: Is it?
Raelynn: If she lived nearby then she's been okay.
Bixi Fizzlebang: How far is Redfern Lake, again?
Lorie (Licornah): (Probably fine in Hourglass... )
Lorie (Licornah): (I think Kelpies like tropical / warmer climates, easier to lure prey for snacks)
Raelynn: Well if she came from Redfern. If this was a few days ago, you probably got her by wagon.
BOB Redfern Lake is about a day away
User is back. (TMO)
Raelynn: I suppose, what do YOU want, Amlaruil?
Amlaruil Aire: I want to be free, able to move and enjoy, to bring a man down deep with me
Raelynn: Hmm, well human men aren't good for that. They can't hold their breath for long. Maybe a merman?
Raelynn: And Gerry is sweet, but he's not a good match for you.
Bixi Fizzlebang: I don't know Rae, Yout seems to be pretty down deep with you
Raelynn: laughs
Carissa (Raelynn): laughs
Raelynn: laughs
Carissa (Raelynn): (maybe she just laughed a l0t)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol, I mean, it WAS a good joke
Carissa (Raelynn): fair
BOB smiles
BOB What are your ideas? options? solutions?
Raelynn: Well we could try to get you a ride somewhere. I can't condone drowning people, but I do think you should have a chance at life, er, not in an ale barrel.
Bixi Fizzlebang: Do we still have use of the teleportation thing, or was that a Lisa thing? If she does want somewhere warm, we could teleport her to Yout's home area?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
BOB Teleport does not work in The Mist
Lorie (Licornah): (I would vote to move to a water barrel and out of an ale barrel. I could teleport without error and catch a ride back?)
Carissa (Raelynn): (we're at the inn)
BOB Yes to Carissa, but cannot teleport to someplace IN The Mist either
BOB so that creates other problems
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How far does your teleport go, Lorie?
Carissa (Raelynn): (take her to Loosend, toss her in the river)
Lorie (Licornah): (I don't think I can get there 1 + days away in one shot... so we might need to send her via a legit wagon)
Carissa (Raelynn): (wasn't it like dimension door? limited to 1000 ft or something?)
BOB the edge of The Mist is farther than 1 day away
Carissa (Raelynn): how big is Redfern Lake?
Lorie (Licornah): (It's Teleport without Error but yes, limited)
BOB (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooTyuRd9zSg">(LINK)</a>
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, no error, but how far?
BOB Redfern lake is a couple of hundred square miles
BOB it is a decent sized lake
Carissa (Raelynn): I mean... she has a better chance of living at the river and if she drowns someone, not our problem, and REALLY not our problem at Redfern, either but is a bit closer to home so could be
TMO (Craigh): So.. uh... no issues then with releasing a murderous predator back into the wilds?
Lorie (Licornah): (no, that's the spell name) (LINK)
<a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Teleport_without_error">(LINK)</a>
Carissa (Raelynn): do mermaids live there?
BOB No mermaids you know of at Redfern Lake
Carissa (Raelynn): which is why I'm leaning river where there are mermaids and drownable waterbreathing men
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Doesn't it have a range limit? Because you can't teleport into the mist, so it would have to have a pretty long range
Lorie (Licornah): (It's a natural ability that works like the spell) -- but it works hundreds miles away, but I don't see limit in the spell description. To be fair, I haven't used it before to test the theory)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Any chance we can get bob to weigh in on that before we accidentally misplace Licornah or something lol
BOB Nope
BOB This is your plant like puzzle,
Carissa (Raelynn): (Is this Dance of the Unicorns? or different spell?)
Lorie (Licornah): (Yes, Dance of the Unicorns)
Carissa (Raelynn): either way we need to agree to send her away and WHERe first
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Well we either have to kill her or send her away
Carissa (Raelynn): (okay I thought last time you used it had a range like dimension doors when we tried to save Akilah falling off the ship)
BOB (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQJagD96X8U">(LINK)</a>
Lorie (Licornah): (I recommend we find a legit wagon versus the ones from last week)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): My thought is if we can send her super far away quickly, then that's worth doing. If not, then we investigate other options
Carissa (Raelynn): yes but only matters if we are sending her far versus if we decide redfern is good enough
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sure but if we CAN send her far, then we won't have her drowning our people
Carissa (Raelynn): or Rae builds a pond at the tea house that read, "OFF LIMITS" to people
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That would upset Talwin
Carissa (Raelynn): ehhhhh
Carissa (Raelynn): details
Carissa (Raelynn): I mean Redfern isn't incorporated
TMO (Craigh): he's a saint, he'll be fine
Carissa (Raelynn): Not technically our people. Technicalities.
Carissa (Raelynn): Sure Miller wouldn't be happy but whatevews
Bixi Fizzlebang: Ahhh, ok. Sure, let's ship her off then
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
BOB Redfern Lake is outside of any Estate
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): sorry, I'm failing at the ooc now
TMO (Craigh): it's how to takes care of freeloaders
BOB They want to be independent
Carissa (Raelynn): exactly
Carissa (Raelynn): how are the rivers? Rae will be happy to go visit the temple and take a barrel of ale up that way
Carissa (Raelynn): spring time and flooding?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): You want to dump her in a temple?
Carissa (Raelynn): no dump her in the river by the temple
Lorie (Licornah): (In a temple of our enemies... )
Carissa (Raelynn): I dunno, I'll take other ideas
Raelynn: Sharif, TMO, spring?
Spring (Lanek Olenak): i'm sorry, i'm busy freaking out
Lorie (Licornah): (is there a river by the vampires... it could be a gift... life drainer to life drainer)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, dump her back in the lake she came from and put a sign up maybe
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Oh no, are you ok? If you need to step away, we totally understand
Lorie (Licornah): (You okay Spring?)
Spring (Lanek Olenak): i just read that my state's AG expects other states to provide medical info on our citizens, esp reproductive info
Shislif (Zayden): hey i'm here :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): oh god
BOB crap
BOB That sucks sorry Spring
Spring (Lanek Olenak): they are not gonna go it, but the fact she's demanding it is bad enough
Lanek Olenak: oh you got worse problems BOB
Spring (Lanek Olenak): damn alt
Carissa (Raelynn): a red river but that's even farther away
BOB We are in a bright blue spot that is fighting at least
Spring (Lanek Olenak): i read earlier today about your State Guard. that's some effed up stuff
Spring (Lanek Olenak): ok enough player world stuff. back to character world
Raelynn: ugh sorry spring
Shislif (Zayden): what's up?
Spring (Lanek Olenak): deep breath
Shislif (Zayden): ok
Spring (Lanek Olenak): lanek probably wants to kill the kelpie, since she's a monster
BOB The choice is shipping a barrel of ale with a kelpie in it to Redfern lake? or to Loosend? or
Zayden: I'm with Bix
Spring (Lanek Olenak): i get wanting to help the kelpie, since she's a people with unfortunate taste
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Redfern Lake sounds good to me, especially if that's where we think she came from
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We just take her home
Shislif (Zayden): yea just send her back where she came from...
Spring (Lanek Olenak): sounds like the lake is the right call
TMO (Craigh): or sealing up the barrel and burying it in the ground
Spring (Lanek Olenak): oh well that's just mean
Shislif (Zayden): while she's alive inside the barrel?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ummm, that seems pretty cruel
Shislif (Zayden): harsh
Shislif (Zayden): but it sends a message
TMO (Craigh): could fill it with cement first, I suppose
Lorie (Licornah): TMO is being realistic... she's evil and has killed and will kill again and again and again
Spring (Lanek Olenak): do we need to send a message?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We could always just murder her, jeez.
Shislif (Zayden): I dunno, I guess if you do bury her alive, if not it seems unneccesary
TMO (Craigh): hehe ... smuggle the ale to Quellcon
Shislif (Zayden): yea like giver her a great night, and at the last moment take her our T. Soprano style
Spring (Lanek Olenak): LOL i kind of like that one
Lorie (Licornah): This is a moral quandry puzzle... no matter where we relocate her, we do so knowing she's killed and will do it again. Hence why I asked about the vampires.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Lol! Ok, I kind of like the idea of gifting her to Quellcon
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't want to start a war or anything, but that IS hilarious
TMO (Craigh): is there a lake in Quellcon?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And yes, her alignment IS neutral evil
BOB such a fitting final puzzle
Carissa (Raelynn): Let's not start a war
TMO (Craigh): you say that like it's a bad thing. :)
Licornah: Ahhh back to the Dragonslayer question -- are we heroes or adventurers?
Carissa (Raelynn): Rae's perspective is she's a sentient being. She hasn't tried to kill anyone. And Rae's not about killing things just because their alignment is evil.
BOB Thank you Lorie
Carissa (Raelynn): So Rae just wants to give her a home and be done with it. If you want to murder, Rae will step away.
Lorie (Licornah): :: shrug :: We could just go Waiting to Exhale and watch it all burn... we won't be here anymore
Carissa (Raelynn): this will be here whether we are here or not
Lorie (Licornah): She's told us her desire is to kill...
TMO (Craigh): k - boom! find a lake in Quellcon, recruit her to be a spy for us, and go visit twice a year or so to collect info
Carissa (Raelynn): To Rae, she said she desires a man to go under the water with her
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, things will still be happening here. Who knows if it will be relevant again or not, but I don't want to just leave it a mess... just in case
BOB This is why we are retiring the characters whole, so you can make these continuing stories as you wish
Carissa (Raelynn): And is killing what she does for fun or just her nature? Accidental because she fell in love and didn't realize they couldn't hold their breath?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Ok, TMO, I know these are maybe both joke answers, but I legitimately like both those ideas
TMO (Craigh): these are things Craigh would come up with if this were IC, btw
BOB I hear three primary ideas, send her to Redfern Lake, send her to Loosend and the river, or find a place for her in Quellcon
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): How far is Loosend?
Raelynn: A week by wagon
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And can we send her by wagon and trust that she won't drown anyone driving it?
BOB Redfern lake is one day, Quellcon is one day, Loosend is one week
Spring (Lanek Olenak): we could recruit a woman wagon driver
Spring (Lanek Olenak): it would be nice if we knew for sure beforehand what bodies of water they have in Quellcon
BOB (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljIQo1OHkTI">(LINK)</a>
Carissa (Raelynn): why do we care about quellcon?
BOB You can guess that there is a decent body of water for her
BOB That is what Craigh mentioned
Lorie (Licornah): Apparently we don't like Quellcon
Spring (Lanek Olenak): my preferences in order of priority 1. Quellcib 2. Redfern 3. Loosend
Carissa (Raelynn): I know. But why does this group of characters care?
Spring (Lanek Olenak): pretend i spelled 1 correctly
Carissa (Raelynn): We cared during tax evasion, but beyond that, why do we care?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): In case they try more shit, duh!
Spring (Lanek Olenak): because we don't like them? haven't we not liked them?
Spring (Lanek Olenak): or am i misremembering?
TMO (Craigh): we make her their problem. Or recruit her to be a resource for us.
BOB I would offer that ideally Redfern Lake, or Loosend
BOB but TMO's idea of adding an agent allied to you in the Quellcon Estate could inspire some to continue stories
BOB totally up to the players
Raelynn: we don't like them, no, but at this point they're for the queen to keep watch, not us.
BOB I actually expected this to end with a sword so I am happy you have other ideas
Carissa (Raelynn): I'd vote Redfern because it's close, and we try to stop her from drowning people or something
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah if we can talk her into being a spy, that might be good for us
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Otherwise... I know she SAID she wants to kill, but like... we haven't SEEN it, so I would still not be willing to just murder her outright
Carissa (Raelynn): But we're not trying to help the queen spy. Now if she gets word we can offer it, but we're not her proxy.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): We could bring Zayden in as bait, and once she tries to murder him, THEN we could murder her back
Craigh: reaches into a pouch and pulls out a small glass vial, filled with a sparkling clear liquid, and places it on the counter next to the jar of honey.
Carissa (Raelynn): And again, Rae argues she did not say she wants to kill. Those weren't her words. She said she wants a man.
BOB SO moving her to Redfern Lake seems to be the primary idea
Shislif (Zayden): what was that?
Lanek Olenak: whatcha got there, Craigh?
BOB and laughs with Sharif
Carissa (Raelynn): welp Craigh is about to destroy this time bubble anywaysso all good!
Craigh: Well, if anyone wants to have the experience of a lifetime... this is a potion of water breathing.
Carissa (Raelynn): (so she can give that to a man she loves!)
Craigh: It only lasts an hour or so, I think.
Lanek Olenak: eyebrows go up
Lanek Olenak: oh
Lanek Olenak: not as great
Craigh: twirls the vial on the counter.
Raelynn: Amlaruil, if we found you a new home, would you stop trying to kill men for fun? I'm not sure YOU are but I hear your kind sometimes do.
Craigh: Nope. Once in a lifetime experience.
Raelynn: [SKILL] Persuasion [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 17) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 13]
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Dang, Lanek's got some lasting power.
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Spring (Lanek Olenak): LOL
BOB laughs
Lorie (Licornah): lol
Spring (Lanek Olenak): you gotta leave room for romance
Amlaruil Aire: It would be nice to have someone like Lanek to spend time with
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm not sure if people are her foodsource... she might have to eat them
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol
Lanek Olenak: look of panic
Lanek Olenak: and then he gets his face composed agaon
Craigh: Lifetime can have different meanings here.
Raelynn: If you find yourself a nice man, or woman!, you can spend time with them on land. Just remember some people can't swim, and some need a potion to breath underwater with you.
Amlaruil Aire: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_9hfHvQSNo">(LINK)</a>
Raelynn: I'm happy to try to find you someone. I do live nearby!
Raelynn: You aren't my usual matchmaking customer, but I like a challenge.
Amlaruil Aire: It will be interesting to see how long Lanek can last
Raelynn: Underwater? Not sure. In bed? Er, I rather not think about that.
Shislif (Zayden): lol
BOB and as the wagon heads south
Bixi Fizzlebang: He is kind of old...
Zayden: I'm sayin...
Bixi Fizzlebang: Have you met Zayden?
BOB A large tun of ale with Lanek riding beside it
BOB a bemused look on his face
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL
Spring (Lanek Olenak): shit, well okay
Spring (Lanek Olenak): he wasnt gonna volunteer for that but i guess we are there now
BOB and a small pouch of water breathing potions at his side
Spring (Lanek Olenak): LOL
TMO (Craigh): I'll just mark that off my inventory then, shall I? :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol
Spring (Lanek Olenak): he'll have to sign up for a potion subscription
Bixi Fizzlebang: So is she going to answer the question about not murdering for fun or...?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
Spring (Lanek Olenak): just drop em off monthly at the dock
TMO (Craigh): yeah, he only gets one from me. Gotta save the other one for if Craigh falls in
BOB Leaving us with Zayden, Bixi, Rae and Youtargim creating a summer schedule for the new theater of Hourglass
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): sorry Carissa, I'm not doing well with that tonight
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Carissa (Raelynn): it's okay
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): It's not. I want those bragging rights.
BOB chuckles
TMO (Craigh): did Lanek actually sign up to go with the kelpie, or am I misreading?
Carissa (Raelynn): voluntold
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm wondering the same thing
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I thought that was a joke, but then BOB was like, "Great, moving on!"
TMO (Craigh): that was kind of the vibe I was getting from it Carissa
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
BOB Smiles it does make a fun wondering story arc for Lanek
Carissa (Raelynn): and spring seems okay with it now
Spring (Lanek Olenak): i guess he's getting married
Spring (Lanek Olenak): it's fine, i'm gonna be somebody else week after next
BOB Both are true
BOB can be true
TMO (Craigh): I'm not against it, I just wasn't sure if I missed part of the conversation or not
Carissa (Raelynn): Rae will officiate the wedding!
Lanek Olenak: he got drafted by the DM, but it's not a disaster
Spring (Lanek Olenak): he got drafted by the DM, but it's not a disaster
TMO (Craigh): np
Spring (Lanek Olenak): if this were a character i were keeping, i might object
BOB Leaving people with potential story arcs
TMO (Craigh): Lanek and the Kelpie, a story in 3 parts, by Geoffrey Chaucer
Shislif (Zayden): so it's gonna be all new characters for everyone?
Spring (Lanek Olenak): seems so
Shislif (Zayden): sweet
Spring: we'll talk about it more next week, i understand
BOB Next week we will start, it will take two sessions to work out the details and creation
Zayden: cool cool
Shislif (Zayden): OOC
BOB I will post some things tomorrow about it
Spring: i gotta say, i have enjoyed playing Lanek
Shislif (Zayden): Gonna make a fighter this time
BOB Very glad Spring
Spring: not as much as i enjoyed being a bonsai treant, but still good
BOB chuckles
TMO (Craigh): i am root!
BOB WOW
Spring: Birch is still my favorite character of all time, and i am deeply sad i cannot play him here
BOB You never know Spring
Spring: oh hey thats true! Birch was a bonsai treant before Groot!
BOB Not right away but the Islands Kingdoms are very different than Drillian
BOB One thing I can say is that everyone will be building as a team, as a group, so that everyone feels connected and growing together
Spring: well before Groot in a movie. Groot was probably first in comics
TMO (Craigh): we are root!
Spring: hahaha
Shislif (Zayden): so are donezo for tonight? Gotta take care of some dinner business
BOB AND as important all of these characters are available to play on the site, or for future one shot stories as the group sees fit, that is one key reason we are swapping. To give a chance to continue these stories
BOB Go Sharif
Spring: but Groot's not a wizard and doesn't have a dog wagon, and Birch has a full vocabulary
BOB We will see you next week
Spring: thanks everybody! fun session!
BOB One last link for everyone
