BOB LOL

Levi Reed: Is Carissa here yet?

BOB Carissa then Lemon

Lemon (Levi Reed): Noooooo

BOB SO close

Lemon (Levi Reed): Well this is my last chance, back to normal work schedule next week. Alas.

BOB Love you both

Carissa: LEMON IS ALREADY HERE?!

Carissa: This is bullshit. BULLSHIT.

BOB Grins

Carissa: I'm going to go back to cleaning. ANGRILY.

BOB You beat her by like 2 seconds

Carissa: I did? Oh, phew. Then I'll go back to cleaning. NORMALLY.

Vee Barlett: Their ETA isnot 7:30 so I'll be back once I'm done cleaning which I hope is soon.

User has gone AFK. (Carissa)

BOB smiles

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm angry now. Two seconds?

Lemon (Levi Reed): bs.

BOB chuckles

BOB When the chat is posted you will see who logged in first

Lemon (Levi Reed): Did I type something first? Because that should count. My attention was here first.

BOB LOl

BOB LOL

BOB I do like your attention on me ;)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Plus she just showed up and then afk'd! I'm here for real!

BOB grisn

Lemon (Levi Reed): Also texting a friend who is going through a hard time, but I'm here!

BOB HUGS

Lemon (Levi Reed): Although to be fair, my MIL is here and cleaned my whole place two days ago, so I don't have any cleaning to do

BOB Nice

'Spring' connected

BOB Hey there Spring

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yay, Spring!

Spring: Hi hi hi.

Spring: Little bit busy at work, but it should be slowing down in a minute.

BOB Very god

BOB good

Lemon (Levi Reed): very god, much omnipotent

BOB Yes I am

Spring: So I found out that there's an area around the top right of the game table that if anything is there, it doesn't respond to click or right click.

'Lycanangel' connected

Spring: That's how my smelter got stuck last week.

BOB Hmmm, did you try to right click there?

Spring: I found it happens to other stuff there too.

BOB and Hello Angela

Spring: That's what I'm saying boss.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Hello!

Spring: Click there. Right click there. Comes to nothing. It cannot feel you when in the zone.

BOB I will have to try to look at that later Spring,

BOB But that also might be solved in the next big update, they are redoing all the backgroun THEME things

BOB But also we might be doing something that causes that

Lycanangel: Hello everyone! Sorry for being late

BOB smiles no worries we are used to people showing up 3 hours late :)

User is back. (Carissa)

BOB Everyone has a different schedule

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Done cleaning. Downing a giant glass of lemonade. I got I dunno how long but I'm here now.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): And hello everyone who has since arrived!

BOB Carissa, Lemon, Spring, Angela

BOB You are heading up out of Achild and up towards the Temple of Orange Sunsets

'Lorie' connected

BOB This might be a good time to ask OOC (out of character) questions and such

BOB and then Welcome Lorie

Spring: waving hi

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well since Michael isn't here yet lemme give him a quick reply on site....

BOB chuckles with Carissa

BOB BUT first

BOB I have a reply here

BOB then you can do that

BOB are you here?

Lorie: Evening all Terra Firma

Spring: Hi!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I posteed

BOB checking but I have comments IC

BOB Ok so

BOB In the Seven Sirens just before leaving

Gloria: Hey Vee! you going to clean up

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): haha remembered i needed to open my character sheet to get started again

Vee Barlett: I told you. We're off to shank some monster. I'm happy to help, but that Brendin guy seems... eager to get going.

Toni: Yeah just like some priest, they think they are so high and mighty, then look, go an kick a man after they knock him out

Vee Barlett: laughs

Toni: That is why people hide from them

Vee Barlett: Sea's a good place to do that!

Gloria: Hush Toni, Vee is not part of that

Lemon (Levi Reed): Sorry, I was reading something

Gloria: Go deal with what you need Vee, just remember you owe me

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm here now, 90% attention

Vee Barlett: gives her a two finger salute

BOB and that leads to the group out on the road to the Temple

Vee Barlett: Just keep an eye on my canoe, please!

BOB and the IC posting

BOB and now

BOB The four of you are there on the road with Brendin

BOB the rest "one round behind"

Vee Barlett: So a chupacabra, eh? That's.... er, what is it?

Vee Barlett: Some weird land thing?

BOB Andrea, that is on the site too, but effectively if the player is not here no one can use or harm thier character

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): is Ava there or ahead

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, I'm sorry, what is your name, BOB has called you like three different names, waht do you want me to call you

BOB Everyone is together here with Brendin

BOB DOH sorry

BOB I am a mess

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): lol I'm Angelica

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, thank you lol

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): You're Levi?

Lemon (Levi Reed): OOC everyone calls me Lemon, but my RL name is Rhiannon. Lemon is easier though.

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): and no worries Bob XD generally you can call me whatever as long as you get my attention

Vee Barlett: Don't listen to her. Her real name is Lemon. Rhiannon is a fake name.

BOB LOL

Ava Bosley: OH! Hi Rhiannon/Lemon ^_^

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): dang, said it in character

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I know Carissa IRL and she still calls me Lemon. It's fine. I'm almost more comfortable with that name now

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Because she has no choice

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (You can call me anything, just don't call me late for dinner? :: laughs :: )

BOB THis

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): ^_^ Whichever you prefer, I'm 100% down to say

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): XD

BOB You have two miles on the road from Achild up to Agowah and the Temple

Vee Barlett: Levi! What's a chupacabra?

Levi Reed: Mythical beast... kind of like a rabbit with antlers or something

Lemon (Levi Reed): I actually don't know, but he's a pretty confident guy

Vee Barlett: How do you kill it?

Levi Reed: Stake through the heart

Carissa (Vee Barlett): And Vee sadly will believe him

Vee Barlett: Hmm. Not sure my aim is that good on land. It's just so... solid walking here.

Levi Reed: Have a few drinks first, you'll feel just as wobbly as on the sea

Vee Barlett: Smart.

Vee Barlett: glances behind her

Vee Barlett: Except... it's too late. Oh well. I'm sure you've got this.

Vee Barlett: What about the rest of you? Land or sea?

Bredin: Why did you let Jericho go to a bar?

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Did you bring a flask? If so, share. I won't tell anyone

Bredin: That is why we sent you Hyacinth

Ratbone Carder: strummy strum strum

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: I gave it to you, numbskull. Did you misplace it again?

Vee Barlett: Is he usually that.... uptight?

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: That little thing!? I already finished that

Bredin: Who knows what that man will do

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: blinks :: Woah woah woah... I'm not taking the fall for him here. I tried to leave no less than three times. I was torn between the acolyte's safety and the box

Levi Reed: hands Vee a flask

Bredin: Nods to Hyacinth, I understand

Hyacinth Jeffers: I had to kick away ambushers

Hyacinth Jeffers: I just wanted to do my duty and go home

Bredin: That is why you got sent, instead of others

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: You might have a problem. A problem of not enough flasks. Maybe we should get you another next time we're in town.

Ratbone Carder: (singing) Let me tell you my loves, life can be hard, when you are herder with the heart of a bard

Hyacinth Jeffers: I had hair to wash, clothes to dry... and water to tend

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: I just need a way to attach them to my body so I don't have to carry them

Bredin: Ava here is good for other things but minding the wayward flocks?

Vee Barlett: Are you church people all.... uptight?

Bredin: Bredin snorts at Vee

Ratbone Carder: shuts up because other people are talking, hee

Ava Bosley: Uptight?

Levi Reed: Oh they definitely are

Levi Reed: That one wouldn't even drink

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Hmm, let me think about it. Maybe rope? But how to make you look good in it?

Hyacinth Jeffers: Ava did fine all things considered. No one anticipated an ambush by hooligans with nothing better to do

Levi Reed: Wouldn't even have one!

Vee Barlett: Not you priestes... what's your name? You threw a good punch.

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Are priest able to drink or does it go against the vows?

Levi Reed: When you buy booze you support the church! It's very holy to drink!

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: I look good in everything

BOB Up to you, grins, creating things as you build characters

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Parents are here! Brb

User has gone AFK. (Carissa)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ohhh, parents. I thought it would be horses.

BOB LOL

Ava Bosley: Maybe we would have had a drink if those /men/ hadn't ruined our wonderful day.

'Michael' connected

BOB Hey there Michael

Lemon (Levi Reed): Were they men? Looked like angry monkeys to me

Levi Reed: Were they men? Looked like angry monkeys to me

BOB speakign of stuck up priests.... ;)

Ava Bosley: Jericho on the otherhand prefers to stay level headed

Lemon (Levi Reed): Hi Michael!

Levi Reed: My head levels out when it has a drink inside of it

Levi Reed: Working sober is so unpleasant

BOB LOL

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): MICHAEL!!!! MY FELLOW OF THE CLOTH

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Hi Michael!

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): i think - still learning people's names

Levi Reed: I mean, you don't have to get sloppy, but one or two is just NORMAL

BOB Don't depend on me apparently

Levi Reed: Keeps you from being too uptight

Michael: Alright! Sorry, one second, just reading real quick. Sorry, had to sprint to the bathroom

Ava Bosley: Well isn't drink meant to be had in celebration of a job well done and with a group you cherish?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): It's cool, Angelica. I keep a cheat sheet to keep up.

Levi Reed: Yes, that's when you have several!

Ava Bosley: OH! And to make new friends. *smiles*

Bredin: I think that sharing a drink is a good thing

Michael: (Are we all in Character?)

Michael: (Just verifying :) )

Bredin: Hummm, they keep sharing a drink they call loneliness, well it's better than drinking alone

Michael: No

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes? But I have no idea who these NPCs are, tbh.

Michael: Just no

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): It is a good thing... until people get hurt. Which has been happening more and more frequently.

BOB The only NPC around is Bedin

Ava Bosley: It is a good thing... until people get hurt. Which has been happening more and more frequently.

Michael: (my fellow of the cloth is my new favorite catch phrase for the forseeable future BTW)

Levi Reed: If you have a good nature, drink just makes you more good natured. If you are an asshole, drink makes you more of an asshole

Levi Reed: shrugs

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): in agreement with Lemon

Spring (Ratbone Carder): LOL fellow of the cloth

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): consider that your title as far as I'm concerned now lol @michael

Levi Reed: Someone just needs to root out the bad apples and feed them to the pigs

Jericho: I enjoy a good party as much as anyone. I can brew a spirit that would taste divine, and strip paint off a freshly painted ship. I just don't like when it devolves into angry drunken brawls.

Jericho: Shrugs

Ava Bosley: *considering if there is a spell that would turn "bad apples" into real apples that she can feed to their animals*

Michael (Jericho): (Crap, this is what happens with new characters. Who's Levi again? I'm writing down)

BOB Purify food and drink

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Haha, I meant the people

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): she's just daydreaming

BOB Polymorph then, grins

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): ooooo

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Summary of Party: Carissa - Vee (Sea Ranger) Lemon - Levi (Ranger (hills)) Sharif - MeLange (Fighter, strong) Michael - Jericho (Priest) TMO - Rothuss (Bard, swashbuckler) Spring - Ratbone (Bard, bagpipes) Lorie - Hyacinth (Thief for the church) JTom - Lirtimya (Sea Mage) Ryan - Matthias (Thief, Swashbuckler Messenger for church) Angelica - Ava (Priest)

Michael (Jericho): Dear god, thank you :)

Ratbone Carder: sweeping bow

Michael (Jericho): building out my own customized wiki through OneNote haha. Just for this adventure :D

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I'm using Google Keep

Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi is Lemon!

Michael (Jericho): Thank you! :) I'm sorry, so manynames is always difficult for me right aways. SOBS I'm sorry!

BOB For Michael

BOB (LINK)

<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DragonslayerTrainingPlans">(LINK)</a>

BOB Training Plans

Michael (Jericho): To HELL WITH YOU BOB LOL

BOB HAH

Jericho: Everyone has a perfect system

Michael (Jericho): Everyone has a perfect system

BOB You do You

Lemon (Levi Reed): They both start with Le

Bredin: So Jericho, what do you have to say about what that barkeep said?

Michael (Jericho): In all honesty, I'm going to give this my whole heart, but I just can't see Jericho living with a long and happy exsitence :) The Pascifism is going to be a real kick in the pants

Bredin: That you kicked a man when he was down and uncouncous?

Jericho: Ahem

Jericho: First

Jericho: I tripped over the man

Jericho: I would NEVER

Jericho: Kick a man while he was down

Jericho: Let alone, you know, rifle thorugh his clothes and take money

Glances around at the others who heard the barkeep

Ratbone Carder: blank look

Jericho: Innocently deadpan

Ratbone Carder: Must have been while I was performing

Bredin: I get your young and chaos vibe you are trying to put out

Jericho: Holds up finger

Jericho: I'm gonna stop you right there

Jericho: I don't care

Jericho: We are on our way to fight a Chubacabra

Jericho: And by fight?

Jericho: I don't mean me

Jericho: I heal people, I don't fight people

Bredin: I do not care if you care or not, it is the Seniors who will care

Jericho: Shrugs

Jericho: They shall judge me as they will

Bredin: I have no horse in this race,

Ava Bosley: That's okay, I'll pitch in. Jericho is good at taking care of poeple.

Jericho: I'm sorry, what does that mean?

Ava Bosley: It's good to have balance

Ratbone Carder: strum diddly strum strum

Jericho: What do horses have to do with this?

Bredin: I just run errands, I was not blessed with divine gifts

Bredin: I just know that those who are should not squander them

Michael (Jericho): (Shit! Who is Bredin! He's not on my list!)

Bredin: Shrugs, but I am just brining you to the temple so that you can deliver the offerings box like you were supposed to instead of going to a bar

Spring (Ratbone Carder): NPC that a bunch of us know

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I forget how though

Levi Reed: TAVERN

Michael (Jericho): (Honestly, I if you go back through last weeks chat bob, I was under the impression we WERE doing that, before going to the Tavern. I was VERY clear and confused)

Michael (Jericho): (Happy to point that out)

Bredin: Then you are going to go help the Markin family who had a father kidnapped by the chupacabra

Ava Bosley: Will there also be baby goats there to rescue?

Ratbone Carder: strummy strum strum diddly strum strum

Jericho: Coughs Loudly

Jericho: Hiding a laugh

Jericho: Straining to keep a straight face

Jericho: Straining to keep a straight face

BOB Yes to Michael, Jericho and Hyacinth went to the the shrine in town and then instead of heading directly back to the temple you went to the Seven Sirens Tavern and got into a bar fight

Michael (Jericho): .....

Michael (Jericho): Standby, gotta break out the ole reliable chat log

BOB And now you are taking the offering box back to the temple as you wanted to

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Just with company

BOB Lorie tried several times to insist that Hyancith was goign to take the box but she got blocked into the tavern by the Thugs/ Dragon gang

BOB and you as a group defeated the Dragons... hence Dragonslayers and now are heading out to rescue a famer from the chubacabra

Lemon (Levi Reed): Honestly, probably for the better. They might have chased her down and stolen it

Spring (Ratbone Carder): but we have to swing by the temple on the way?

BOB Brendin is here to collect you and take you to the Markin family after the Temple

BOB and now you are about a mile along the road

Michael (Jericho): Bob, why is the private conversation between me and lorie not in chat?

BOB also for anyone who does not know or remember Menu and Calendar shows you the day and time

BOB Anythign that happened here is in chat Michael

BOB all the whispers, etc

Lemon (Levi Reed): A mile and how much farther to the temple?

Michael (Jericho): Shakes head. I can show you exactly where. When Jericho was dissapointed, Lorie messaged through Whisper that it was becasue of the box. There is a missing line

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Thanks for the info BOB. I also needed it.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Also, I will never understand the calendar and you can't make me

User is back. (Carissa)

Michael (Jericho): let me verify not in Discord

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (back, stopped trying to catch up so we'll just say Vee had some ADD going on)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (hi whoever joined since!)

Lemon (Levi Reed): I don't think you missed much

BOB The Temple is in Agowah which is two miles uphill from Achild

BOB no one new here Carissa

Lemon (Levi Reed): Just Michael trying to be really pious. Boring stuff.

BOB just catching everyone up to where we all are gathered now

BOB and LOL Lemon

Carissa (Vee Barlett): michael came after :P

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol lemon

Michael (Jericho): Well, I hate to admit bob might be right, but for now on, If I have to submit an itemizted schedule, I cannot imagine any sane individual waltzing into any bar/taver with a box of money and does not pass my "Reasonable Judgement" clause.

Michael (Jericho): That was just absolute stupiditiy and out of line with my character. An asshole, yes. Iditio? Well, not in common sense. Good Lord. Let me flash hundred dollar bills in front of drunk morons

BOB Michael, Lorie in character did try to insist on going to the temple instead of course

BOB Chaos

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): it was a beautiful night so we went by the sea XXXD

BOB The key thing is that you have the box and are delivering it now

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): our faults

BOB smiles with Angelica

Michael (Jericho): OK. I'll accept it. BUT! I will be spending LOTS more time I suddenly have to point out Bullshit when I see it. And it's not the box that was issue, but that it could have real consequneces. My characters no matter which one care a VERY great deal about professional conduct. That? Was just dumb. I was 16 once, I promise I did not flash wads of cash at people who could rob me

Michael (Jericho): So that should be lots of fun to explain

BOB That is why Hyacinth was sent with Jericho, because he is 16 and .... grins

BOB You can explain to her

BOB go for it

Michael (Jericho): I think I hated kids, even when I was one. That's why this is hard to swallow. LOL

Michael (Jericho): I was working a full time job at 16 LOL

Michael (Jericho): wait, explaining to who?

Michael (Jericho): Bredin?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Is Hyacinth not also young?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Lol, I also hated my peers at that age. Who didn't. You like like 4 people and despise everyone else. That's normal, right? Or do I need to save that for my next therapy session?

Michael (Jericho): Oh man Lemon, those numbers of people I like haven't exponentially blossomed. I may be deficient LOL

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I was that way too, Lemon

BOB Hyacinth was sent to watch over Jericho because the church leaders did not trust him to do the task

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ...I didn't hate everyone at that age so maybe a therapy session, lol

Michael (Jericho): If it makes anyone feel better, all this group is on the short list. You beat out several family members, so congragulations! :)

BOB That is part of her job as security

Lemon (Levi Reed): Lies! You like all of us, so that's at least double

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Ah

Michael (Jericho): LOL

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

BOB Not sure he really likes you Lemon,

Lemon (Levi Reed): And family is terrible, they don't count

BOB wink

Michael (Jericho): hehe

Michael (Jericho): Don't listen to bob. He stirs the pot

BOB brb emptying and refilling as you talk along the road

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (WHAT.... BOB, stir the pot... NEVAH ... EVAH..)

Michael (Jericho): And if he's feeling particularly vengeful, throws some chili peppers in it

Lemon (Levi Reed): I zero percent believed him, don't worry

Michael (Jericho): LOLOL

Lemon (Levi Reed): Although the fact that you didn't get defensive about it and were just like "hehe" DOES give me pause

Michael (Jericho): HAH!

Lemon (Levi Reed): Also you ghosted me the one time I tried to be friends with you so....

Michael (Jericho): Well, in Hyacinths case, the fault was with us entirely. She did her job admirably (wait really Lemon? I don't remember! I'm so sorry!)

Jericho: Well, in Hyacinths case, the fault was with us entirely. She did her job admirably (wait really Lemon? I don't remember! I'm so sorry!)

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol, no, you're fine

Vee Barlett: For being kids?

Jericho: We stopped in to see if drunken behavior had increased in the area

Ratbone Carder: (singing) the answer is YES

Michael (Jericho): (No seriously, this is hard for Jericho to relate. If I fudged up my job at 16, we would have lost a contract. Goofing off wasn't in my repetroir)

Ava Bosley: *mumbles to self* and to see the sunset by the shore...

Michael (Jericho): (and I don't drink)

Michael (Jericho): (Man, I might actually be more like Jericho then Talwin. That's a sobering and depressing thought)

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): what did you do at 16

Spring (Ratbone Carder): that has contracts

Lemon (Levi Reed): You probably just forgot you still had all the cash

Michael (Jericho): I was using a street sweeper to clean parking lots and pressure washing homeless dung off the sidewalks

Michael (Jericho): I paid for school with it

Michael (Jericho): So, again. Kind of hard to relate :)

Michael (Jericho): My friends are about a decade older than me

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh man, I didn't realize you were such a square. I rescind my frienship request. Thank you for ghosting me.

Michael (Jericho): LOLOL

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hahahaha

Michael (Jericho): That is a hilarious insult. A Square :)

Spring (Ratbone Carder): new song idea

Michael (Jericho): Thank you for Ghosting me is such a Taylor Swift sounding song

Spring (Ratbone Carder): may have made a serious mistake playing a bard. it's embardening the player

Michael (Jericho): I can even kind of guess the lyrics

BOB It is Hip to be Square

Spring (Ratbone Carder): to be fair, i was embardened already, i just repressed it a lot

Jericho: Do you know anything about the Chubacabra? Was the farmer alive when last seen?

BOB Who is that to Michael?

Hyacinth Jeffers: (Ugh... no Huey Lewis and the News... no no no ... :: gets out broom ::

Michael (Jericho): To bredin

Michael (Jericho): The only one who might know something

Michael (Jericho): And any background on Bredin?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (sorry my attention is divided)

Lemon (Levi Reed): That's the power of love!

BOB Points to Ava, and Hyacinth, and Levi and Ratbone who all have lived in the hills too

BOB Thank you Lemon

Michael (Jericho): (Yes, but I'm asking Bredin? Probably knows the mostinformation at the moment about the attack?)

Michael (Jericho): (Or did I misunderstand the flow of text conversation)

Ratbone Carder: I know about the beasts but not this attack

Bredin: A Chubacabra is a horrible beast

Ratbone Carder: They are SCARY and AWFUL

Levi Reed: Rabbit with antlers. We can handle it.

Jericho: And the Farmer was alive when last seen?

Ratbone Carder: Oh no. No no no.

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): should i roll to see if I know anything about them being in the local area?

Ratbone Carder: FANGS and GIANT TEETH!!!

Ratbone Carder: Moves like a badger, only BIGGER!

Jericho: Venomous?

Jericho: Clinicial

Bredin: One of the Markin family children came to the Temple ... thinks... 2 hours ago? sobbing that the Chubacabra had taken their father

Ratbone Carder: gestures like a giant creature

Jericho: I need to know if any antidotes are needed

Jericho: I need to know if any antidotes are needed

Levi Reed: Oh definitely venomous

Bredin: Angelica you can make a local history check yes

Vee Barlett: How many you've seen Levi?

BOB Angelica you can make a local history check yes

Ava Bosley: [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 1]

Ratbone Carder: Oh I heard your wounds just fester (if you survive) because they have filthy mouths. But it could be vemnom.

Michael (Jericho): I know herbs, but not toxins or venoms (there, double just in case Carissa takes offense with my not knowing if they are venomous or poisonous :) )

Levi Reed: Oh I've never seen one

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): HA

Jericho: I know herbs, but not toxins or venoms

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (lol)

Ratbone Carder: Course not!

Ratbone Carder: If you see it, you DIE!

Jericho: Wait what?

Levi Reed: Yep, that checks out

Vee Barlett: So you just kill it before it reaches you.

Jericho: I don't recall that?

Ava Bosley: It's called a Chop-a-carra?

Levi Reed: Close enough

Ratbone Carder: Chupa

Vee Barlett: I thought a caracara was a bird.

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): So it has wings?

Ratbone Carder: Choo. Pa. COBB Rah

Ava Bosley: So it has wings?

-> Ava Bosley: WOW amazing roll... so you know that there is DEFINATELY a creature out there that is stealing goat, sheep, pigglets, even sometimes small children. No one knows exactly what it is, too many terrified descriptions

Lemon (Levi Reed): Unrelated, or maybe related, but my ex's gaming name was Chupasquatch.

Ava Bosley: lol okay, thank you

Ratbone Carder: Nah, I don't think wings.

Jericho: Uh, Bredin? Not that I don't trust my compatriots, but can you tell me anything about the beast? I'm not aware of instant death creatures in the close vacinity of the church

Jericho: At the very least, I will need to know the correct anti-venom

Spring (Ratbone Carder): LOL Chupa Sasquatch is lovely

Jericho: IF the farmer is even still alive

-> Ava Bosley: Feel free to create more local legends of it, you will find out more "real" details as this story arc progresses

Levi Reed: I don't know about wings, but I don't see why not

Ava Bosley: We have lost a pig as of late. I heard some whipsers of it being a beast of some kind....

Jericho: We will do our best, but the more information the better

Ava Bosley: okay!

Vee Barlett: You ever leave the church? Plenty venomous around. And poisonous, if you're adventurous.

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol, I love that Michael's character is the grownup here. This is so opposite of Talwin, this makes me happy.

Jericho: It might suprise you Ms. Vee, but I don't often leave the Church. I heal people, not go gallavanting off for drunken brawls and urban warfare

Vee Barlett: Miss?

Michael (Jericho): Hes 16 going on Square....

Vee Barlett: laughs

Ava Bosley: Hmm, interesting that it's taking people. Quite different than pigs or kids. It must not be scared anymore...

Bredin: IF you had come back to the church on time like you were supposed to Jericho, you would have been there to save him right away instead of letting him languish for hours in the clutches of the Chupacabra

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: glances at the sun :: Perhaps we should get our details from Brenin and get a move on? I'd like to be back before too late...

Jericho: Oh, I'm sorry. Was that Mrs?

Vee Barlett: Whew, kid. You're too much.

The time is 8:00 PM

Vee Barlett: Walking as fast as I can here. I don't have wings.

Jericho: Bredin? You are aware that I shy away from combat. It's something my priest mentor made no secret of. I could have distracted it perhaps, but likely ended up dead regardless.

Bredin: All I know is that you are the duty priest tonight

Jericho: I'm fine taking responsibility for the Tithe delay, but the results would have been similar in the case of the farmer

Michael (Jericho): (THAT IS BULL I DID CHECK THAT)

Bredin: You are lucky Ava is here to help you

Michael (Jericho): (I STATED UP FRONT THAT I WOULD CHECK IF I WAS ON DUTY)

Michael (Jericho): (NOPE. TRY AGAIN ON THAT LINE OF REASNONG)

Michael (Jericho): (I WILL POST!!!)

BOB Jericho did and he is on duty, that is why he went out to collect the tithing box

BOB It was two miles away, should only take a half hour at most, instead Jericho took almost four

Michael (Jericho): Dear God. Bob, if the church posts a schedule, I want details now. This aint coming back to bite me in the ass

Lemon (Levi Reed): Also, I would just like to remind everyone that michael is the youngest, as evidenced by his amusement at the insult of "square"

BOB Next time, now you need to try to save the farmer

Jericho: Uh huh

Michael (Jericho): Uh huh

BOB Points to Lemon

BOB See

BOB She understands

Jericho: Uh yes, that would be nice of Ava

BOB and yes Michael you are still the youngest, we established that a few weeks ago, grins

Jericho: And indeed, despite my irritation with my current compatriots that I have found myself, I am grateful

Jericho: .....

Jericho: for

Jericho: ....

Jericho: Pained grimace

Jericho: their

Jericho: .....

Jericho: Grits Teetch

Jericho: Grits Teetch

Vee Barlett: stares at him grtinning

Jericho: Assistance

Ratbone Carder: what is happening?

Vee Barlett: Now was that so hard?

Levi Reed: You're welcome buddy

Ava Bosley: Of course I want to help. The Markins aren't just members of the Church - they're family friends..

Jericho: Mumbles some truly horrendous and vile syllabuls under his breath

Ratbone Carder: And this all smells like adventure!

Jericho: Careful not to be too loud

Bredin: Huh, impressed that you are growing Jericho, your friends are rubbing off on you

Vee Barlett: Adventures are fun.

Ava Bosley: If their father is to die... I hope it's at least quick. But if we can do anything to stop it - lets!

Ratbone Carder: deeply inhales

Vee Barlett: HA! He's got a long way yet.

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: One of these days I'll get him to drink. Slip something in his water skin while he's sleeping or something. New mission

Jericho: Gags on air, but says nothing at Bredins comment

Jericho: Regardless of my deficienices this evening

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: I'm pretty sure that's illegal. The slipping something part BUT I fully support this plan. Offer him your flask? Tell him it's water?

Jericho: Anti-Venin?

Ava Bosley: Ha! My first day meeting Jericho, and you're already quite popular.

BOB The group arrives at the Temple

The time is 9:00 PM

Jericho: Blsuhes slightly in embarassment

Jericho: Blsuhes slightly in embarassment

BOB Hyacinth and Jericho drop off the offering box

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): are there any bloody tracks? or drag marks?

Jericho: Pulls out a copper from his pocket

Jericho: Pulls out a copper from his pocket

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (we can do tracking once we get closer)

BOB and then Ava leads the group (minus Brendin) off to where the Markin farm house is

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): okay!

Jericho: Whispers a prayer of apology for his actions

Jericho: Kisses the coin gently, and inserts into the Tithe box

Image: jungle_path2_background_scene_fantasy.jpg@SmiteWorks Fantasy Background Scenes

Jericho: Kisses the coin gently, and inserts into the Tithe box

Jericho: Now!

Jericho: I need some information quick.

BOB Heading off the path towards the Markin Farm

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: I'll think about it

BOB Who are you asking Jericho?

User has gone AFK. (Lycanangel)

Jericho: Bredin, do you, or anyone else nearby who specializes in healing know if I need any specialized medical equipment if he is still alive. For most things, I can handle. But, I need to know about Anti-venoms or Anti-Poisons

Jericho: Please

Jericho: I'm trying here, but I can't go off without knowing. He might be saved but die anyways

Bredin: How would I know? I am not a healer

Bredin: I am a messenger

Bredin: You were supposed to be out there rescuring them hours ago

Levi Reed: Ugh, Jericho, quit stalling, let's just go

Bredin: you want me to go ask one of the senior priests for you? tell them you were in a bar ?

Levi Reed: We'll figure it out when we get there

Jericho: Rolls eyes. "Thank you Bredin. That was remarkably helpful."

User is back. (Lycanangel)

Jericho: Yes, where is the senior healers

Jericho: I'm not going to let a man die out of pride

Bredin: I think you should listen to your friends

Jericho: Shakes head

Bredin: go find the missing farmer

Jericho: This will end poorly. I just know it

Jericho: Alright

Levi Reed: No, you're going to let him die by bleeding out because we didn't get there soon enough

Bredin: Yes it will if you insist on interupting some senior priest's sleep

Ava Bosley: It will end as it is meant to end.

Jericho: FINE!

Jericho: Let's go

BOB The time is correct, it is 9 PM at night and you are off into the surrounding areas

Levi Reed: You want a drink man? It will calm you down a little. Like, you don't have to get drunk, just a sip won't hurt

Vee Barlett: It's like you don't know how to improv....

BOB hah

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): XD

Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi's religion is beer

Jericho: Looks like his head is about to explode at Levi's comment. A vein pulsing in his forehead, bulging against his skin

Jericho: I'm gonna stop you right there please. I need quiet time for a few minutes

BOB You all saw the new image of the path into the jungle

Jericho: While I contemplate an emergency poltice

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (yes)

Lemon (Levi Reed): I saw the link to the image and the name of the image and that seemed like enough information

Vee Barlett: You stilck to land, yeah? Probably for the better.

Michael (Jericho): Hm, I don't see that bob

Michael (Jericho): One second

Jericho: Shocked at Vee's words that his voice shudders an octave

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, I clicked it, an dyes, it was enough information

Jericho: Land?

Jericho: I hate land

Levi Reed: Then why are you here?

Jericho: I'd rather be on a ship any day

Jericho: This sucks

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): where is the image?

Image: jungle_path2_background_scene_fantasy.jpg@SmiteWorks Fantasy Background Scenes

Jericho: I'm here because this is where I came to learn. How many teaching ships are you aware of?

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Thank you!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Oh good, i was just now looking at uncategorized images

Jericho: This spot was literally marked on a map that I...came into ownership of

Spring (Ratbone Carder): But it won't load for me.

Levi Reed: Sounds like you need to start a teaching ship!

Michael (Jericho): Ah, I see it now bob. thanks :)

BOB You can always check Records, Images and then see Shared

Jericho: Excited at Levi, momentarily forgetting his irritation

Jericho: I want to actually!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I found the name of it and opened it, but it won't load.

Ava Bosley: Jericho! Did you *whispers* take it from someone?

Jericho: A ship that travels island to island to heal people

Jericho: I want a whole fleet one day!

Jericho: Patiently

BOB and you have about a half hour from the temple to the farm to talk and discuss what you are going to do to help them

Jericho: No Ava, I did not steal the map. However it is a deeply personal piece of paper with writing that led me to where I am today

BOB Angelica it opened for you? Lemon did you try to open?

Jericho: I don't usually talk about it

Jericho: I'm sorry

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes, it opened for me, had to click on the little box though

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (sorry was helping parents)

Levi Reed: If you just click on the name, it doesn't work

Ava Bosley: Oh ... I'm sorry for assuming ... I just ....

Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc

Michael (Jericho): (don't you ever apologize for helping your parents)

Michael (Jericho): (never)

Michael (Jericho): ( :) )

Vee Barlett: The sea isn't a planned mistress. Not sure how you survived it. Unless you had someone else doing it for you.

Jericho: Barks out a quick laugh

Jericho: But smiles at Ava

Jericho: Sorry Ava. I didn't mean to snap at you

Jericho: It's a special map

Image: Markin Farm House

Jericho: And I literally almost drowned Mrs. Vee. I am here by literally my patron gods intervention

Levi Reed: special like... you sleep with it under your pillow? or...?

Levi Reed: or like something... sexual

Vee Barlett: Nice of him to do that. Still not sure your seaworthiness, but guess it doesn't matter right now.

Vee Barlett: Levi.

User has gone AFK. (Spring)

Ava Bosley: rolls eyes at Levi

Jericho: No, just a deeply personal piece of paper. Like an important letter...........i'm sorry what? That's....well....Disgusing?

Levi Reed: What!

Jericho: A sexual paper?

Levi Reed: I've never heard anyone with a "special" piece of paper before

Jericho: Closes in a bit again

Vee Barlett: Eh, I mean I guess... teenage boy.....

Levi Reed: Maybe he's a weirdo, we just met the guy!

Vee Barlett: Well he does have something up his butt...

Levi Reed: When you first meet a person, that's the best time to ask the personal questions. Weed out the weirdos.

Jericho: I was not unde the impression that I needed a piece of paper to ensure the plumbing was working properly, but okay I guess? If you need a checkup in that area, I don't specialize in that but can recommend a practicioner

Levi Reed: Nah, my plumbing works fine, thanks though buddy

Levi Reed: winks at Jericho

Ava Bosley: Please be careful when speaking about priests. I suppose you don't know our ways and I understand this. But please understand our customs our different... and should be respected.

Vee Barlett: Huh, maybe that's my problem. I didn't ask you those questions when we first met and now I'm stuck with ya.

Jericho: The comment goes flying over Jerichos head, him not realizing he was being jerked around

Levi Reed: You telling me priests have no sex drive?

Jericho: Wait wait wait

BOB Points to the section on the Keldorian religion page that all 1st circle priests and priestesses have to be both Chaste and Celebite until they reach the second circle

Levi Reed: At... how old are you, buddy?

Jericho: What?

Vee Barlett: Nah, ain't you heard? They have to be chaste until they find the one.

Levi Reed: Same age as me, I assume

Levi Reed: Wait, WHAT

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): which circle are we again

Levi Reed: Yikes, I'm sorry man

Levi Reed: I'll stop tempting you

Vee Barlett: laughs

Levi Reed: winks at Jericho again

BOB Ava and Jericho are both Second Circle

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: eyeing the trail and walking along ::

BOB very recently

Vee Barlett: You drunk enough to kill a chupacabra, Levi?

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): okay! Thank you!

Jericho: No I get that, but wordplay is a thing. Chastity is all well and good, but for medical purposes. Besides, I'm in the second circle.

Levi Reed: Probably

Vee Barlett: Wordplay is everything.

Jericho: Flustered over such a dumb conversation

Levi Reed: Don't know what any of that means, but you do what you gotta do

Vee Barlett: But, you know, maybe less... seriously.

BOB and your two swashbucklers are missing too bad

Carissa (Vee Barlett): :(

Levi Reed: pats Jericho on the back. Maybe sympathetically, maybe patronizingly, who knows

Jericho: This conversation with you people is so......frustrating. how do people stand to be around you. I know why they dont' stay around me, but dead Locrin, how the hell can they stand your ...your...rufiian ways

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Jericho: *dear

Ava Bosley: *Ahem*

Levi Reed: It's boring being stuffy

Vee Barlett: By not being a tightass.

Levi Reed: Exactly, Vee!

Ava Bosley: Maybe we should be chatting about...

Levi Reed: What do you even talk about?

BOB Remember also Chastity = no sex Celebite = no marriage so you can be one without the other

Ava Bosley: A plan?

Vee Barlett: We go there, we find the chupacabra, we cheer Levi on, I rescue him when he fails, win-win!

Michael (Jericho): Bob, I love you, but i'm not really getting into figuring out the specific definitions of the sexual stuff tonight. LOL

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: Yes what Mrs Vee says

Levi Reed: We get there, Mr Priest over here heals the man, if he needs an antivenom someone runs back to get one. Plan done. What's next?

Jericho: That's DR! Mr. Priest to you!

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): XD

Vee Barlett: Dude, if you insist on being a tightass, it's be Vee, Ma'am. To you.

Darkboon Gaillot: Pacing up and down the path

Levi Reed: There's no way the chupacabra is still around. If it is, I stab it. Problem solved

Darkboon Gaillot: Looking around

Jericho: Shrugs

Jericho: I'm fine with Ma'am

Darkboon Gaillot: Pacing

Vee Barlett: Nah, doctor is a title you gotta earn.

Levi Reed: Ah, well glad to meet you Ma'am Priest

Levi Reed: Priest Ma'am?

Vee Barlett: Ho!

Jericho: Ah, I see. You are being perfectly obtuse.Nods

Looks up

Jericho: Ah, I see. You are being perfectly obtuse.Nods

Carissa (Vee Barlett): waves at Darkboom

Carissa (Vee Barlett): waves at Darkboom

Vee Barlett: waves at Darkboom

Michael (Jericho): STOP WAVING!

Darkboon Gaillot: Spots the priests and breathes a sigh of releif

Michael (Jericho): :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *(at least someone is)

Darkboon Gaillot: Are you here to save us?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (LOL)

Michael (Jericho): LOL

Levi Reed: Yes we are!

Darkboon Gaillot: Thank the Godsd

Vee Barlett: Are you the chupacabra guy?

Jericho: Looks at Levi, but Shrugs

Levi Reed: This here is Dr. Mr. Priest

Ava Bosley: And Levi has volunteered to do everything himself

Jericho: Ma'am

Darkboon Gaillot: No I am not a chupacabra

Jericho: Ma'am

Vee Barlett: No no, he's Sir Mr Priest.

Levi Reed: He'll take care of wahtever you need

Ava Bosley: smirks at Levi

Darkboon Gaillot: waht?

Jericho: Fuck the Names!

Darkboon Gaillot: Who?

Jericho: Where is he!

Vee Barlett: I'm Vee. What's going on?

Michael (Jericho): (The name thing is going to go down in history as a memorable moment)

Darkboon Gaillot: Mrs Markin is in the house, she just put the kids to bed

User is back. (Spring)

Michael (Jericho): (For anyone who watched the Venture Bros: "Dr. Mrs, the Monarch")

Levi Reed: I can do any animal killing you need... quick so they don't suffer. You need human help, it's Dr. Mr. Priest over here

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (Who is Darkboon?

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): I would like to go in to speak with her

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): or would i be disturbing her

Vee Barlett: Markin's the one attacked? Where is he?

Levi Reed: We don't know yet, Hyacinth shoudl go find out

Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc

Jericho: Yes, time is of the essense

Jericho: Yes, time is of the essense

Lemon (Levi Reed): The rest of us are obviously too immature

Darkboon Gaillot: You are here to rescue

Jericho: And keep alive

Vee Barlett: Mr Sir Priest here can do the healing. The rest of us can do the killin'

Darkboon Gaillot: Who are you people?

Jericho: Instead of arguing, let's Vee take over

Vee Barlett: Vee of the Sea, at your service.

Jericho: What she said

Vee Barlett: two finger salute

Jericho: She's good with people

Hyacinth Jeffers: We are here to investigate and assist, I'm Hyacinth

Vee Barlett: Sir Mr Priest there is from the temple with his two friends to help.

Jericho: DR!

Ratbone Carder: (singing) and we are her entourAZHHH

Vee Barlett: Levi can do the tracking. The runt is our musician and.... maybe can attack things?

Ratbone Carder: ahem, sorry

Michael (Jericho): This adventure is going to end very badly LOL. And yet, I'm having so much god damn fun

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (good!)

Vee Barlett: Tell us what's happened. We've only heard from a messanger and they ain't always reliable.

Ava Bosley: I am Aviva - from the land over. Do you have details on where the creature took Mr. Markin

Darkboon Gaillot: I know that Danniel .... Mr markin I suppose.... He was minding the fields, trying to plan out where to plant you see,

Michael (Jericho): Blood pressure bursts an eye vessle in Jericho's right eye

Jericho: Blood pressure bursts an eye vessle in Jericho's right eye

Darkboon Gaillot: and then he gave out a great call, telling all the workers to go hide that the Chubacabra was hunting, to get inside before it got here,

Darkboon Gaillot: He was yelling and shouting for everyone to run, then he just ..... cut off

Levi Reed: Aviva? I thought you were Ava

Darkboon Gaillot: It was horrible

Jericho: Cut off?

Jericho: As in

Jericho: Dead?

Darkboon Gaillot: Stopped yelling

Darkboon Gaillot: I hope he is not dead

Ratbone Carder: abruptly

Levi Reed: Maybe he just got dragged away. We have to go find out

Jericho: Do you know where exactly he last was? We can attempt to track

Darkboon Gaillot: I went to look and yes!!!! YES!!!!

Darkboon Gaillot: there are drag marks

Levi Reed: Haven't you ever helped anyone before, Priest Dr. Mr.?

Ava Bosley: Sorry, Levi - I sneezed while I said my name. It's Ava.

Jericho: Ma'am

Darkboon Gaillot: right there in the back field, heading up into the hills

Jericho: To Levi

Levi Reed: All the same to me, I'll call you whatever you want

Darkboon Gaillot: I checked, but there is no blood, at least in the fields

Jericho: No blood?

Levi Reed: Ah, then he might still be alive!

Jericho: Pauses

Levi Reed: Great, let's go!

Ratbone Carder: No blood?!? That is different

Jericho: Wait

Darkboon Gaillot: so I sent young Jessie to the Temple to get help

Darkboon Gaillot: and I brought in all the animals

Jericho: There were drag marks

Jericho: And no blood

Levi Reed: Wait! WAIT!?

Darkboon Gaillot: and now you are here

Levi Reed: How long are you going to let this farmer suffer?

Ratbone Carder: Dr. Jericho, it might not be a chupa after all

Darkboon Gaillot: You did take a while but I am happy you are here

Ava Bosley: That happened with many animals that disappeared as well...

Levi Reed: It's the priest's fault we were late

Ava Bosley: Why no bloode...

Vee Barlett: Vampires? They have them here?

Levi Reed: Oh, sorry, Ava, you're a priest too, no?

Jericho: Suffer? I don't know Levi. When was the last time a monster attacked you, but left no blood at all. And then was courteious enough to drag you away

Ava Bosley: Yes, yes I am.

Levi Reed: Yeah, ok. It was this guy's fault we were late. No fault of the lady. She's good people

Jericho: Rolls eyes

Ava Bosley: In all fairness...

Levi Reed: I don't know man, but we don't know what happened to him. He could be suffering

Ava Bosley: it was my fault

Ava Bosley: tears up

Ratbone Carder: Grrrrr can we leave of blaming and get on with adventuring?!?!

Levi Reed: It definitely was not, sweetheart

Ava Bosley: I - I wanted to see the sunset by the s-seaaa

Ava Bosley: cries

Jericho: I'm fine with taking all blame! Despite jackass Levi accusing me of "WAITING" all the gods damed time,I do actually give a shit.

Jericho: You

Vee Barlett: Nah, she's just kid. And if they didn't come, they wouldn't have found us, and you really think Mr. Sir Priest Dr Man could handle this on his own?

Levi Reed: awkwardly pats Ava on the shoulder

Jericho: Points at Darkboon

Jericho: Where is the spot. Please lead us there?

Ratbone Carder: Let's go look, right!

Levi Reed: If you give a shit then let's go help this man that's been taken

Vee Barlett: Anyways, where's the tracks? Might as well get going before it gets too dark. Er, darker.

Levi Reed: gods

Ava Bosley: looks up wide eyed at Levi and tears go away

Levi Reed: shuffles away even more awkardly

Vee Barlett: You got a nice light, sir?

Ratbone Carder: plays a sneaky theme on the lute

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (lol)

Ava Bosley: sniffling

Ava Bosley: We should go to the hills

Jericho: ONe, day, you'll run right into a problem you can't solve because you didn't THINK before you did it. I am perfectly aware of my faults, but let this at the very fucking least be ONE lesson you should learn, because I KNOW it badly. So fuck off on always jumping without thinking. It's not just YOU that can be affected by doing it

Jericho: Sniffles

Jericho: Let's go get him. I can't track worthshit, so lead the fucking way

Levi Reed: Heeey, you ARE capable of emotion!

Ratbone Carder: Duh! Crabby is an emotion,let's go

Jericho: Get moving

Jericho: Grits

Darkboon Gaillot: Here the dragging tracks start here

Levi Reed: Great, point the way Darkboon!

Ava Bosley: Giggles a little at Ratbone

BOB Leads you to the back of the farm

Ratbone Carder: finally, finally puts the lute away

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): XD

Jericho: To Ava, I don't know if this is a monster attack. It could be, but I've cleaned up enough wounds that this seems odd

Lemon (Levi Reed): I have trail marking, does that help with tracking or no?

Jericho: Stay on your guard

Jericho: Hyacinth? Do you have any thoughts?

Levi Reed: Keep that lute handy, we might need to lull the beast to sleep

Hyacinth Jeffers: I have several...

Ava Bosley: Agreed. It's strange that any animal would leave no blood when taking its prey

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 11]

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: watches the group trounce off ::

Ratbone Carder: Especially one that is infamous for messy savagery

Jericho: I mean, I'm pretty sure I hear they drink blood, but no struggle at all? That just seems really odd

Jericho: Like, I'm kind of baffled on this

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 12]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (at half since on sea so don't think so?)

Levi Reed: Nah, they take it back to their lair before they eat it

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 14]

Levi Reed: Like spiders. Or squirrels saving up for winter

Jericho: Yeah but....

Jericho: Did he not fight back at all?

Ava Bosley: Maybe it's his pet and he didn't want anyone to know, so he ran off to the hills with it.

Levi Reed: Knocked him unconscious first maybe

Levi Reed: Maybe poisioned him

Jericho: I suppose

Levi Reed: Won't know until we get there

Image: jungle_path3_background_scene_fantasy.jpg@SmiteWorks Fantasy Background Scenes

Levi Reed: points at Ava

Levi Reed: Maybe that

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): lmfao

BOB Heading into the woods

Jericho: You woulld no better then me. I'll leave the monster facts to you guys and I'll stick with healing and spirit making

Jericho: *know

Levi Reed: Spirit making.

Levi Reed: Good one

Jericho: Good one what?

Jericho: Distracted

Jericho: stumbling over obvious logs and rocks

BOB So far I see a moderately sucessful tracking roll from one ranger

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm sorry, Jericho makes booze but doesn't drink?

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Trail Marking [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 14]

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 11]

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh hey, look at taht!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (lol)

Lemon (Levi Reed): I have ranger tracking!

Michael (Jericho): (More common then you might believe Lemon :) )

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (whoo!)

BOB and a second tracking roll suceeds

Michael (Jericho): (Jericho drinks, he just doesn't drink any meaninful amount that would result in him becoming a drunken mess)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Well why didn't he just say that so Levi would stop giving him such a hard time!

Lemon (Levi Reed): Now it's too late

Lemon (Levi Reed): He's a confirmed square.

Michael (Jericho): LOL. then it will be all the more surprising when Jericho busts out a truly remarkable vintage one day

Michael (Jericho): He will weep with the guilty pleasure that a square made a truly superior batch of booze

Lemon (Levi Reed): I look forward to that day

Michael (Jericho): :)

BOB So give me an idea of how the group is spread out, your two rangers up front?

Lemon (Levi Reed): They will become instant friends. Or at least Levi will think they are

Michael (Jericho): Seriously, I took NWP for Brewing and the next will be likely Winemaking

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Levi is first with his double mecheteness

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee is right behind him

Lemon (Levi Reed): And I took artistic ability for poetry! Just wait until you hear Levi's drunken poems!

Michael (Jericho): Oh they are def growing on Jericho, he just also hates their guts. They can be both. Relationships are complicated, who knew!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I have no idea how to form up

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, definitely Levi first

BOB If you go the Party Sheet and Order you can see it laid out

Lemon (Levi Reed): He is VERY CONFIDENT in his abilities right now

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): I'm like Spring... not sure where to be just yet

Michael (Jericho): I also think IRL I might be Hangry, so I'm going to order food while we play.

Lemon (Levi Reed): I assume at some point he will get reality stabbed into him

Lemon (Levi Reed): But for now, he leads the way

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): i'll hang a little farther back but not necessarily as far back as Jericho might

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I'm used to thieves in front and priests in the middle, but I never been a bard before.

Michael (Jericho): This is going to be odd for me bob, but I need to break my Talwin Tank the damage habbits. My dude is like, a legitimate death at any time kind of character and msut be careful

BOB Everyone is 1st level and one hard blow away from Death michael

Michael (Jericho): Jericho is no coward, he's just practical. He's totally hiding

Michael (Jericho): Fair enough bob. I'm not really sure about classes

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): XD

Michael (Jericho): If anyone wants Jericho to be up there, he won't abandon you, but won't attack. Might try to distract though

BOB Does everyone see the Order tab on the Party Sheet? can you change your character order there?

Michael (Jericho): I cannot see the order.

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): now i do!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): oooh the order tab is interesting

Michael (Jericho): Where do you see the order?

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): Menus --> Party Sheet --> Order

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): The order tab

Spring (Ratbone Carder): The tabs are off to the right.

BOB and yes I see that Ava changed position

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (I haven't look at the sheet in awhile... we're still missing people on the party inventory but that's for a different day)

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Then the squares I'm guessing are where we're placed. Is the arrow the direction we're going?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): In my view they were off the edge of the screen so I had to move the sheet.

BOB Yes to Angelica

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): *gives self high-five*

Michael (Jericho): I see the party sheet now, but haven't much ever looked at this before

Michael (Jericho): I do see the order

BOB Carissa did you want Vee out on the far left? you are heading to the right, where the arrow is

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh....

BOB Ok so you are moving along that path in that order

BOB Just want to make sure everyone is mostly happy

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (and we got our obs and alertness rolls!)

BOB Yes

Hyacinth Jeffers: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 9]

BOB Anyone else with observation or alterness or anything they want to roll?

Hyacinth Jeffers: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 3]

Hyacinth Jeffers: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 23) [FAILURE by 30] [d100 = 53]

Hyacinth Jeffers: [SKILL] Hide In Shadows [PERCENT:Hide In Shadows] (vs. Target 8) [FAILURE by 38] [d100 = 46]

-> Hyacinth Jeffers: Hyacinith hears birds calling as they settle in from the disturbance of your passing

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 11] [ = -3]

Lemon (Levi Reed): I did alertness already

Lemon (Levi Reed): And trail marking, whatever that is

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I didn't, that was copied text by accident

Carissa (Vee Barlett): same

-> Vee Barlett: Vee hears birds calling as they settle in from the disturbance of your passing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): right by the tracking rolls, rangers were ON it

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I was trying to put the party sheet into one of the handy spaces at the bottom, but it grabbed text instead

BOB Does Ava or Jericho have alterness? Observation? anything you think would help out here Into the Woods?

Vee Barlett: The birds aren't worried. Guess it can't fly.

Levi Reed: Some birds are just idiots

Michael (Jericho): Jericho has literally nothing to redeem himself outside of an Operating Room.

Lemon (Levi Reed): grackles

Lemon (Levi Reed): seagulls

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): be right back!

Michael (Jericho): This is why we diversify our Portfolio LOL

Jericho: Lorie got us :)

-> Hyacinth Jeffers: Hyacinth spots a branch trip/fall a branch pulled back designed to swing out and SMACK someone on the trail when they cross a tripline

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you tossed us on land, Vee can't do much

Hyacinth Jeffers: Got it!

Michael (Jericho): She can kick people's asses.

Michael (Jericho): What are you talking about???

Michael (Jericho): :D

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: Puts her hand up to stop people :: Hold up

Michael (Jericho): She's a "Dragonslayer!" After all ;)

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: points at the branch ahead ::

Jericho: Squints

Jericho: It's a ....tree?

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (We're level 1 -- usefulness is relative )

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Levi Reed: Throw a stick at it?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): right but she can kick asses AND take names when on sea

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (we're all wearing red shirts essentially)

Vee Barlett: It is a stick.

Michael (Jericho): (Oh Lorie, don't say that.)

Levi Reed: I mean, yeah, but she seems like she's worried about it

Michael (Jericho): (I mean, you are correct, but I hope we can mostly make it :) )

Vee Barlett: I thought that was her thing? To worry?

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (Nah... it's the nature of the level 1 game :) )

Jericho: Oh! Right.

Jericho: Embarassed slightly

Jericho: What's wrong with it?

Hyacinth Jeffers: It's designed to thwack us in the head

Jericho: So.....

Levi Reed: I mean, they do that, but they're not DESIGNED that way. That's just trees

Jericho: I'm at the Point I don't think a Chupacabra is involved?

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: shrugs :: Okay... fair enough

Vee Barlett: So can you undo it?

Hyacinth Jeffers: Yes

User is back. (Spring)

Jericho: Nerviously

Jericho: But willing

Hyacinth Jeffers: but since Levi doesn't think it's designed to do what I said, maybe he should?

Jericho: Do you need assistance with it?

Vee Barlett: rolls eyes

Vee Barlett: If y'all take him seriously, you're in trouble.

Levi Reed: If that's not just a branch, then maybe you should explain

Hyacinth Jeffers: I don't know him to take him anywhere, but here we are

Levi Reed: If you're so all-knowing, please enlighten the plebians

Hyacinth Jeffers: We don't have time for long-winded explanations... just avoid it and let me move it out of the way

Jericho: I know I'm not exactly a paragon of the great outdoors Levi, but she's telling it is''s a trap

Levi Reed: bows at Hyacinth

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: makes a shoo hand motion ::

Hyacinth Jeffers: We're here to rescue, not argue... get on with it

Levi Reed: Then she should just say that instead of speaking in riddles

Jericho: Sighs

Levi Reed: Yeah if you say "Hey I see a trap there" then I'm not gonna argue with you

Jericho: i know I'm not your favorite person vee, but please tell me Levi hits your shit list at least once in a blue moon

Levi Reed: If you just point at a branch... I mean, there's a lot of mystics in the city but I ain't one of them, I can't read your mind

Jericho: Follows after Hyacinth to keep momentum going, but doing his damnest to watch for any other traps that could lop his head

Jericho: Follows after Hyacinth to keep momentum going, but doing his damnest to watch for any other traps that could lop his head

Jericho: Let me see

Jericho: Whinces slgihtly

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: shoos him :: let's get on with the rescuing already...

Jericho: Whinces slgihtly

Vee Barlett: Nah, she's right keep moving. If it's a trap, something is waiting for you to stop.

Levi Reed: She said she's fine! You going to let this farmer wait for you even LONGER healy dr mr?

Jericho: No, you will at least assure me your ribs are not cracked, or we will carry you

Vee Barlett: Nurse Dr Sir Man, let's go.

Jericho: Fuck the Farmer Levi

Jericho: I care more about Hyacinth

The time is 9:36 PM

Hyacinth Jeffers: I assure you your ribs are not cracked... and you will not carry me

Vee Barlett: That's fine. Walk and check. It's getting darker by the minute.

Jericho: Yourribs are not cracked?

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: Okay

Hyacinth Jeffers: We're on a mission... let's do this one correctly so I can get off guard duty

User is back. (Lycanangel)

Rysdan Runebraid: Who goes there!

Jericho: Nods again. You will inform me if a crinkling sensation is spreading when you breath

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: You think she got a concussion? She just told the idiot that HIS ribs aren't cracked?

Vee Barlett: HO! You set this trap?

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Back! our cousin is here to pick up the dog we were babysitting

Jericho: Sigh

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (Bye pupper )

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Maybe. Them church types are special, aren't they?

Rysdan Runebraid: Who are you?

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): for real :'(

Levi Reed: I'm going to tell your priest in charge that you said fuck the farmer. (quietly, to Jericho)

Vee Barlett: Just some folks going on a stroll, looking for a missing farmer. You ain't him, are ya?

Jericho: Shrugs. "Who's the tattler now?"

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (rum runnersssss)

Rysdan Runebraid: No farms out here

Jericho: You said you would rather me say it like it is

Rysdan Runebraid: You are lost

Vee Barlett: No no, farmER. As in a missing guy who's wife is waiting for him to come home.

Vee Barlett: You wife isn't waiting for you, is she?

Rysdan Runebraid: Who wants a wife?

Rysdan Runebraid: They just tell you not to do things

Vee Barlett: Not if you find the right one!

Vee Barlett: Then they do things with you!

Rysdan Runebraid: You looking to tell me to do things?

Vee Barlett: Nah, man. I'm looking for a missing guy. You seen him or what?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *mate

Rysdan Runebraid: No one missing here

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Sure, sure, but you SEEN anything?

Vee Barlett: Sure, sure, but you SEEN anything?

Rysdan Runebraid: Ahhh

Rysdan Runebraid: I am no snitch

Vee Barlett: Not looking for a snitch. I'm looking for a missing farmer.

Vee Barlett: What you do is your business.

Levi Reed: nods at Jericho

Jericho: Shrugs

Rysdan Runebraid: No farmers around here

Vee Barlett: Right, see, and I want to believe you, but the tracks lead this way.

Jericho: She's right, Whispers to Levi

Rysdan Runebraid: I would say you should go back down the path and look a different way

Ava Bosley: Perhaps I can ask...

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: laughs ::

Rysdan Runebraid: What tracks?

Vee Barlett: And I WANT to believe you're right, but I know my tracks. My friend REALLY knows his tracks. We know he was dragged this way.

Levi Reed: Yeah, Vee, let someone nicer take a crack at this

Vee Barlett: elbows Levi

Ava Bosley: Sir, may I ask if you know any local tellings of the cuppa-barra?

Vee Barlett: whispers, "No names, idiot."

Levi Reed: That's not a name, that's a letter

Rysdan Runebraid: SHUDDERS that is an evil thing young lady, you should not say such things

Vee Barlett: opens mouth to argue then shrugs since he's right

Vee Barlett: We agree. And we think it took our missing farmer.

Ava Bosley: Oh, pardon. What has made this an evil thing in your land?

Rysdan Runebraid: Who knows where it comes from, a great hairy beast slavering jaws

Levi Reed: Hey, Q (to Vee), let R take a crack at it. She's doing way better at this

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Lemon (Levi Reed): throwing him off the trail!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Rysdan Runebraid: It haunts these hills

Ava Bosley: Do you by chance know where the creature dwells?

Jericho: To Levi: Can't we just like?, Why is this man stopping us? I don' tparticualry care if he's sniffing salts, we might have a missing farmer that is in trouble"

Jericho: Clearly Frustrated

Rysdan Runebraid: It lives in the hills I hear, I have never seen it thank the Gods

Ava Bosley: Ah, thank you kind sir. We have a friend who has gone missing by the creature. It's he we're trying to find.

Rysdan Runebraid: If you are trying to get into the hills you need to go back and turn up the trail

Rysdan Runebraid: This one ends... I mean to say there is nothing up this way

Ava Bosley: slight head bow

Ava Bosley: This is of help, thank you.

Vee Barlett: You sure the tracks went this way, Levi?

Vee Barlett: whsipers

BOB You can always check

Rysdan Runebraid: It is a horrible beast just stay way far away from it, you are a nice young thing, just go back to the church and stay away

Ava Bosley: small smile

BOB Vee can see that there are no tracks in this area, but she does spot near where the trap was a second trail

Levi Reed -> Jericho: No, that was IC! I'm not trying to call you out ooc, you're doing fine, I'm enjoying giving your character a hard time

Vee Barlett: points to second trail

Ava Bosley: Unfortunately, it is one from the Church that is in danger. But I do wish blessings by Dimere on you for your assistance. Thank you.

Jericho -> Levi Reed: Ah,, okay. I was curious why you direct pinged me on it that's why. Gotcha

Levi Reed -> Jericho: Because the whispers are fun!

Rysdan Runebraid: Glad for the blessings, but you won't tell anyone you came by will you?

Vee Barlett: Tell them what?

Rysdan Runebraid: Thank you young lady

Jericho -> Levi Reed: I'll try and figure it out then! Will also help clear out chat I think

Vee Barlett: salutes and walks off

Ava Bosley: Oh!

Levi Reed -> Jericho: Also, I would say it much nicer and would not use the phrase "flying fuck" if it was OOC, I promise lol

Ava Bosley: To the group --- Well, that was of help... but strange.

Jericho -> Levi Reed: haha :)

Vee Barlett: Don't think twice about it. Let's follow the trail we missed.

Levi Reed: People are all different, let him be

'Michael' connected

Vee Barlett: Hmm...

Levi Reed: And footprints

-> Vee Barlett: at least four or six smaller than mansized, two man sized, and something dragged

Vee Barlett: Chupacabras don't have feet like humans, do they?

Levi Reed: Maybe someone already came looking for the farmer

Vee Barlett: Some of these are smaller than man, two are definiteily a man, and something was dragged...

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (hooves I believe in teh legends...)

Levi Reed: No, I already told you. Rabbit with antlers

Vee Barlett: Don't be surprised if that's not what we see.

Vee Barlett: stands up

Levi Reed: I mean, maybe it's a bigger than average rabbit, but it's definitely not human feet

Vee Barlett: Keep your guard up.

Levi Reed: Doesn't wear shoes

Vee Barlett: Levi. Shhhh. Let's hunt.

BOB I will give Levi a wisdom check with that

Levi Reed: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 2]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Levi? Wise???

-> Levi Reed: Some of those footprints are barefeet, some have shoes on

Levi Reed: Hey, Vee... some of these are definitely human and NOT wearing shoes. Why would someone not wear shoes in the jungle?

Vee Barlett: You're the land, man. Why do you think?

Vee Barlett: Probably quieter and easier to move without them, ya?

Levi Reed: I don't know. Priests, any ideas?

Ratbone Carder: If their feet are really tough they might not need shoes

Vee Barlett: Makes them feel closer to the earth therefore closer to their god, maybe?

Michael (Jericho): Sorry lost connection. I am back. Please give me a moment

Ava Bosley: Perhaps it's a were-Chuppicapra?

Jericho: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 15] [d20 = 4]

Michael (Jericho): Wisdom check for bob. Still reading as I get caught up

Vee Barlett: I'm wondering if a chupacabra is even real now.

Levi Reed: Tree-whisperer? Any ideas? (directed at Hyacinth)

BOB For anything in particular Michael?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (wisdome was for the ranger rolls)

Ratbone Carder: Oh they are real

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (unless you wanna be wise about why these tracks are shoeless :) )

Michael (Jericho): A person beign dragged by another person

Michael (Jericho): frankly

Ratbone Carder: But no, this can't be one.

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): would I know if the family or the father of the family had enemies in town for some reason

Vee Barlett: Might be why there was no blood. Kidnapped by people, not a folklore.

Michael (Jericho): Would I know of any drug or alchohol abuse? Not to betray his confidence, but help?

BOB Yes you would know if there was anything obvious as you work through the various farms around the Temple, this family grows both sugarcane and additional vegttables

BOB Nothing comes to Ava's mind that they are anything than a normal helpful family, working for the church

Vee Barlett: Maybe he saw somethin'

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oooh, the church is like a mob though, right? Maybe they offended someone in the mob

Ava Bosley: Oh no... sometimes people come on ships, noting the success of the Church and wish to make similar profit on things such as sugar cane...

BOB Jericho is new to the area and does not know the families around like Ava does who grew up here

Jericho: Vee, I do not like admitting this, but I am so far out of my league. I'm a doctor, not an investigator. You and Hyacinth are experts right now. What do we do?

Ava Bosley: Could this be a person trying to take the sugar away from the Church?

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): tis the mafia

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): I agree with Lemon - as is now regularly the case XD

Lemon (Levi Reed): Lol, don't listen to me, I almost never know what I'm talking about

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Me either - lol it's more fun that way

Lemon (Levi Reed): Listen to Carissa, she's the smart one

Vee Barlett: Well, Levi is actually better with the land stuff. I'd say let's keep following the trail.

Vee Barlett: But keep your eyes and ears open.

Ratbone Carder: (singing) i'm an exile, i live all the while, forlorn, forlorn, may be

Phatima Markin: See you say I am

Phatima Markin: oh

Ratbone Carder: That song is about me

Lemon (Levi Reed): ...Can Jericho please also be the youngest of the group?

Phatima Markin: oh

Michael (Jericho): Are you kidding me?

Michael (Jericho): No!

Ratbone Carder: So I know a few things about those feelings

Phatima Markin: Can I be in exile with you?

Ratbone Carder: We'll have to see

Lemon (Levi Reed): Heeeey, spring getting a henchman!

Ratbone Carder: I'm in exile because I started a war by accident.

Michael (Jericho): It's the beginning of this adventure! That's like, a record! :)

Ratbone Carder: What would you be in exile for?

'Shislif' connected

Phatima Markin: I couldn't save my Pa

Phatima Markin: I let them take him

Lemon (Levi Reed): And it's a child that we'd feel bad about bringing into dangerous situations! So it's a henchmen that needs to simmer for a few years

Ratbone Carder: nodding

Ratbone Carder: i see. because you are SO much bigger than whoever took them?

BOB Hey there Sharif

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yay, Sharif!

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (Evening Sharif)

Spring (Ratbone Carder): took HIM i mean

Lemon (Levi Reed): We might need MeStrong soon!

Phatima Markin: No, there was this dark shape

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (Strongman! Hello!)

Ratbone Carder: The dark shape was bigger than you?

Phatima Markin: Way way bigger

Sharif: Hey everyone, sry I'm late long day

Ratbone Carder: Hm, oh but it's your fault because you are SO much stronger than the shape?

Phatima Markin: No I tried to follow but it was....

Phatima Markin: it was

Lemon (Levi Reed): You're good! TL;DR, we came looking for the chupacabra, but we found a girl hiding in the bushes who is crying because she tried to save a "shape" that took her dad but she couldn't. Ratbone is singing and talking to her now.

Phatima Markin: Cries

Ratbone Carder: don't forget to breathe

Phatima Markin: I cound't

Phatima Markin: I heaves I couldn't

Lemon (Levi Reed): nope. Tried to save her dad who was taken by a "dark shape"

Phatima Markin: I chased

Shislif (MeLange): cool thx Lemon

Lemon (Levi Reed): She didn't save the shape.

Phatima Markin: There was a cave

Shislif (MeLange): hey some shapes can't be saved

Phatima Markin: and I tried

Phatima Markin: I tried

Phatima Markin: But I

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol, I teach preschool, I know this to be true.

Phatima Markin: cries, I got scared

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Phatima Markin: sobbing

Phatima Markin: It is all my fault

Ratbone Carder: too scared to go in the cave?

Phatima Markin: nods

Phatima Markin: sniffling

Ratbone Carder: but if you went in the cave, you might not come out alive. the way it is now, you can guide people TO the cave to help your dad

Ratbone Carder: sooo, you are actually doing the BEST thing right now

Phatima Markin: I don;t know

Phatima Markin: I am scared

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ohhhhh yes, please be a cave. I have spelunking.

Ratbone Carder: sometimes it's best to be scared

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Ratbone Carder: fear warns us of real danger

Phatima Markin: SHUDDERING sigh

Phatima Markin: Breating

Phatima Markin: Deep in

Phatima Markin: Deep in

Ratbone Carder: that;s right

Ratbone Carder: just like that

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Can I crawl in?

Phatima Markin: What can you do?

Ratbone Carder: see my friends have lots of abilities

Spring (Ratbone Carder): serious deja vu here

Ratbone Carder: some of us are great at caves and some of us are great at beating up monsters

BOB Spring? what do you want the others to do? you have Hyacinth and Jericho there and then Lvei and Ava too

Spring (Ratbone Carder): well we are headed towards getting her to show or at least tell us where the cave is

BOB Do you want them up closer? draw her out from under the bush? so far only Ratbone has seen her but the others have heard much of the conversation

Ratbone Carder: so, if you could let us know where the cave is, we could go look for this scary shape and your father

Michael (Jericho): Yeah, she might be THE Chupacabra

Levi Reed: Ask her if the shape looks like a rabbit!

Ratbone Carder: did you hear that? my friend wants to know if the shape was rabbit shaped

MeLange: I love taking down monsters, the bigger the better

Ratbone Carder: did you heat that? my friend is ready to kick butt and save your father

Phatima Markin: It was big and dark and scary

Levi Reed: And I love that about you, Mel

MeLange: Thanks Levi, I love that about me too

MeLange smiles

Ratbone Carder: when you are feeling a little more steady, will you come out?

Phatima Markin: Sniffs,

Phatima Markin: Yes

Phatima Markin: I'm scared

Ratbone Carder: need any more big breathing? need a hanky?

Ratbone Carder: anybody got a hanky? i don;t

Jericho: I do

MeLange: How about a hug Phatima? That always makes me feel better when I'm scared

Levi Reed: You would

Vee Barlett: Melange gives great hugs.

Ratbone Carder: this is Dr. Jericho, the fellow with the hanky

Jericho: Pulls out a lengtch of sanitized cloth

Levi Reed: Is it sprinkled with holy water too?

MeLange: Thank you Vee

Ratbone Carder: oo nice one! you're not getting it back, you know

Jericho: Can you come here sweetheart? I can't see you in the bushes. My eyesight isn't the best

Ratbone Carder: (singing) forlorn, forlorn

Lemon (Levi Reed): You're 15!

Lemon (Levi Reed): Your eyesight is fine!

Hyacinth Jeffers: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 23) [FAILURE by 36] [d100 = 59]

-> Ava Bosley: Yes you woudl recognize her

Phatima Markin: Sniffs

Phatima Markin: yes

Michael (Jericho): Checking for visible signsof injury and hurt

Ava Bosley: ^_^ awesome!

Jericho: Checking for visible signsof injury and hurt

Lemon (Levi Reed): I only have glasses for screentime, which I don't use. But I do have vision insurance starting this year, so maybe I'll go get a check just to see where they're at.

Shislif (MeLange): nice

-> Ava Bosley: She has no idea who you are, you are just one of teh church ladies.

Ava Bosley: Oh, I am so happy you are okay. Your father and our family know each other well.

Ava Bosley: We are here to help.

Phatima Markin: Sniffs,

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Got mine checked today! They still suck. Both eyes. A few points from legally blind rate I'm at

Phatima Markin: Who are you?

Lemon (Levi Reed): that explains your driving

Ava Bosley: I am Ava Bosley. I tend the land a small way over from you.

Phatima Markin: You are one of those church ladies?

Ava Bosley: We brought you the pigglets to play with at the church four seasons past.

Ava Bosley: Yes!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): rude!

Ratbone Carder: See? Told you we are friends.

Phatima Markin: OH Archie!

Phatima Markin: Archie was fun

Phatima Markin: we ate him last spring

Ava Bosley: Mhm, he was delightfully tender.

Michael (Jericho): I am not touching any conversation about poor driving with a ten foot pole. If oyu think I'm paranoid in fake life, oh, the front back side/side dash cam would prove you wrong :)

Phatima Markin: Looks up at Ratbone

Lemon (Levi Reed): I only tease Carissa because she is a Texas driver, and drives like a Texas driver

Phatima Markin: Are you in the church too?

Lemon (Levi Reed): They are special.

MeLange: they ate a person named Archie?

Ratbone Carder: No, but I'm friends with these who are

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yuuuup

Shislif (MeLange): hmm

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Lemon (Levi Reed): It's not actually that bad just... very.... aggressive.

Vee Barlett: No, no. A pig. I think.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Only way to drive in Texas.

Ratbone Carder: Not a person. A pig'

MeLange: oh alright

MeLange: that's a relief!

Ava Bosley: Jericho here is from the church and Hyacinth is here as well.

Phatima Markin: Oh hello

Ratbone Carder: And I'm in exile

Phatima Markin: Are you going to save my Pa

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: waves ::

Ava Bosley: The others are our friends. They want to help too. Right, friends?

Ava Bosley: smiles at everyon

Phatima Markin: I guess I am going to exile too

MeLange: I'm just tagging along looking for monsters to slay

Ratbone Carder: My brother is in exile too, but he's dawdling back down the path

Ava Bosley: Why would that be, Phatima?

Phatima Markin: I was too scared to save my Pa

Phatima Markin: So I will have to go away

Jericho: Looks to me like you are a hero Phatima

Ava Bosley: Oh, no, Phatima.

Jericho: You found the monster all by yourself

Ava Bosley: Jericho gets scared too

Jericho: Nods

Ava Bosley: he is not exiled.

Vee Barlett: We'll save him so you don't have to go. MeLange is ready to tackle whatever took him.

Jericho: Terrified

MeLange: You did the right thing Phatima, if you approached the monster he likely would've taken you as well.. or worse

Levi Reed: He's scared of everything, actually

Jericho: Rolls eyes

Jericho: Rolls eyes

MeLange: The smart move isn't always the heroic move

Ava Bosley: I will tell you something, Phatima

Ratbone Carder: What he said

Levi Reed: Ouch, Mel. Ouch.

Ava Bosley: Jericho and I are known in the church. Just as your father is. And your family.

MeLange: well it's true isn't it?

Ava Bosley: We will make sure you are not exiled.

Ava Bosley: By special request

Phatima Markin: Really!

Levi Reed: Stab me in the heart why don't you

Phatima Markin: Oh

Ava Bosley: winks at Jericho

Phatima Markin: Oh

MeLange: I've seen far too many a young hoping hero perish with foolish bravery

Jericho: Smiles warmly

Ava Bosley: Yes

Jericho: Feels his face crack

Phatima Markin: Maybe

Ratbone Carder: Ooo nice. Wish MY priest were that cool

Ava Bosley: smiles

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): haha

Phatima Markin: Maybe I can go home?

Ratbone Carder: He was more like,

Vee Barlett: Yeah, I haven't met one yet.

Ratbone Carder: Don't let the door hit you

Jericho: where the good lord split ya?

Ava Bosley: Yes, you may absolutely go home. In fact. I order it. Right, Jericho and Hyacinth

Ava Bosley: ?

Levi Reed: Was that a... joke, mr dr?

Ratbone Carder: Right. Anyway yes i bet you can go home, since you didn't actually do a wrong

Jericho: Coughs

Jericho: Healer Humor

Vee Barlett: Er, maybe AFTER we find her Pa?

Levi Reed: Yeah, sounds like you're a really brave girl, Phatima

Ava Bosley: nods

Vee Barlett: And... is it safe for her to go alone?

Levi Reed: You're going home either way, but let's try and save your Pa too, what do you think?

MeLange: Yea Levi let's worry about the after pa stuff after pa

Phatima Markin: It is a scary cave

Ratbone Carder: In the meantime, the two bravest things you could do are 1. show us where the cave is and 2. go tell your mother what's happening

Levi Reed: Oh heck no, we are escorting this brave lady back to her home, where she will be welcomed as a hero, I'm sure

Ratbone Carder: or that

Lemon (Levi Reed): We can send her back with your brother, maybe

Levi Reed: We can send her back with your brother, maybe

BOB Yes you can hand her off to Matthias to watch over her, or Rothuss

Jericho: Levi? Would you like to escort her with a hero's honor? We can see if we can check on her pa?

Vee Barlett: Remember how the priests were annoyed we took too long? How about about we.... not take long?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i was thinking she'd be safer away from all the action

MeLange: good idea Levi

Jericho: Or Matthias or Rothuss

Ava Bosley: Yes, Phatima. You must keep guard out of the cave. If we do not return, run back to your mother

Vee Barlett: Let the other two watch her while we find Pa.

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: You were good Phatima

Vee Barlett: Levi loves caves. We need him here.

Jericho: You have a scrape on your knee though

Phatima Markin: Ma kisses them better

Levi Reed: Yeah, but that can wait, RIGHT JERICHO

Phatima Markin: Can you do that Priest lady?

Jericho: Keeps voice calm while smiling at Phatima

MeLange: He loves caves a little too much I think

MeLange giggles to himself

Carissa (Vee Barlett): laughs

Vee Barlett: laughs

Levi Reed: Let's go save Pa first and then fix the lady up

Ava Bosley: Goes wide eyed

Jericho: Yes, Levi, that can wait, but she should watch her kneww on the way back. Okay young lady?

Ava Bosley: y-yes, I can.

MeLange: maybe give her a weapon?

Levi Reed: Nah, Mel, it's just that this priest can't stop dilly-dallying, and we need to save Pa

Ratbone Carder: strumming action music

Ava Bosley: kisses knee

Ava Bosley: gasps

Phatima Markin: shy smile thank you

Jericho: Well don't let us hold you up Levi, go on in

Ava Bosley: Look at that! all better!

MeLange: Oh I agree Levi, I was just making fun of your proclivities

Levi Reed: Well, I would make fun of yours, but there is a lady present

Jericho: Okay young lady, be safe on the way back!

Phatima Markin: The cave is up there, points up the path

MeLange: well fine then

Jericho: Thank you!

Phatima Markin: grabs onto Matthias's hand,

Phatima Markin: Why do you have all these rings?

BOB as they are back down the path

Jericho: Nods at the others

Jericho: Ready?

Lemon (Levi Reed): What's the smallest coin? I want to give her one, just to distract her

Michael (Jericho): Copper

Image: Cave in hillside

Levi Reed: gives Phatima a copper

Levi Reed: For your services

Carissa (Vee Barlett): she's distracted by rings it's fine

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (cave image is just black... so fitting!)

MeLange: geez Levi you make her sound like a waitress or something

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, but she's going to be so effing proud that she got paid for finding/saving her dad!

Jericho: None of us have darkvision or magical weapons. Shit, I forgot what this was like

Levi Reed converted 1 SP to 10 CP, 0 refunded

Shislif (MeLange): fair fair, MeLange just like razzing Levi :)

BOB How is that now?

Michael (Jericho): None of us have darkvision or magical weapons. Shit, I forgot what this was like

Levi Reed spent 1 CP on distracting a kid

Carissa (Vee Barlett): better

MeLange: could we make some torches?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and thank you lemon for noting that properly

BOB and yes to Lemon doing that correctly

Michael (Jericho): And grab a couple pitchforks while we are at it

Shislif (MeLange): Lemon for the win!

Michael (Jericho): KILL THE BEAST!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee has tridents....similar enough?

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm going to be the Talwin and just generously tip people for no reason

BOB and yes to the group being in the dark getting closer to midnight, a cave in the hills, in the woods

Shislif (MeLange): ppl do love that

Michael (Jericho): I TIP EVERYONE, even when the service is pretty shitty. I lived that life, it sucks

BOB and you have what you have on your sheets

Carissa (Vee Barlett): i DID ask that guy if he had a light

Lemon (Levi Reed): I do too, in real life

Shislif (MeLange): must we rush? We can't sleep and head in in the morning?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but Vee has torches and a basic adventure pack

Lemon (Levi Reed): In a fantasy game, not so much

Michael (Jericho): (It buys goodwill)

BOB This is the pause and talk all about this Out of Character

Lemon (Levi Reed): We CAN, but the dude might be dying

Michael (Jericho): Nope, Bob cleared us!

Michael (Jericho): We are officially PAUSED!

Michael (Jericho): :)

Shislif (MeLange): I still tip the shitty service, but I do tip less than when it's good or neutral

<font color="#000000">

Carissa (Vee Barlett): test

BOB yes?

BOB who wanted to stop?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): There! Sorry the official pause :)

Shislif (MeLange): sorry was it the tipping talk?

BOB AHH

Jericho: Uh

Jericho: That wasn't me

Jericho: sorry

Lemon (Levi Reed): Lol, I deleted the tipping thing I had typed lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): It was me. You said we officially PAUSED so I made it OFFICIAL

Shislif (MeLange): it can be a testy topic

Jericho: AH!

Michael (Jericho): So. One second I'll explain

Shislif (MeLange): oh lol nice

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I mean it assumes discomfort, but details. Or Levi. Same thing.

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

Shislif (MeLange): oh so like if we wait till morning he's more likely to be dead? How long ago was he taken?

Michael (Jericho): Lemon said we might be letting a guy die. But, bob had just said that we were at a Pause. So I said in Joking manner, we are in the clear to take as long as we want because bob "paused.", THAT is how I read that, but I may have mistaken based on the tipping topic. I sincerely meant nothing by it if that made someone unformtable, and if that is the case, I can certainly not talk about it.

Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, we don't know for sure

Michael (Jericho): (that was my explanation)

Shislif (MeLange): is he really likely to be alive now and not at 5am?

Lemon (Levi Reed): There was no blood, BUT we don't know what took him or why, so Levi is assuming the worst

Lemon (Levi Reed): you didn't Michael, you're good

Shislif (MeLange): that's cool yea I thought that was more of a thing if somebody got very uncomfortable with a topic or thing going on, why I thought that maybe it was the tipping topic

Lemon (Levi Reed): Carissa was using the pause button to make a joke

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Bob did say now is the time to talk OOC. There was no discomfort reason for me to hit that button, no worries. I just wanted the pause to be official.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Not a complete joke, but it was to make us all stop to plan OOC.

Shislif (MeLange): could be advantage if it's asleep?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I just forgot the yield says discomfort.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes. And she said "test" after it so I figured that was why it was not for reals

Michael (Jericho): It's a good step! I will have to get used to it being used for otherthingsthough. As soon as I saw that, I was immedietly wondering if I had pushed something too far

Carissa (Vee Barlett): SO no discomfort. Plans for moving forward? It's dark. Pa might be dying. Vee has some torches. She's going to say let's go now.

Lemon (Levi Reed): But yes, good point, it could be. It HAS been a few hours now since he was taken, I think

Shislif (MeLange): Do we have any idea what it's taken him for? Do they eat ppl?

Michael (Jericho): If we have torches, frankly, we are all around level 1. Really not going to make much difference. Jericho has no spells available, so can distract and heal

Lemon (Levi Reed): Bob, where's the extention for "stop! Time for planning!"

Carissa (Vee Barlett): The question is still if it's a creature or men

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no continual light yet? is that a level 2 spell?

Michael (Jericho): Frankly, would it matter?

Michael (Jericho): (Out of spells)

Lemon (Levi Reed): They told us it was a chupacabre but our evidence suggests people

Michael (Jericho): (But will be firs tthing I enchant :( )

Shislif (MeLange): that a good point so maybe best to just go in get it over with, what advantage does waiting give us?

Lemon (Levi Reed): We don't know why though

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (ahhh)

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (I keep trying to be stealthy... but I'm not so great at it. I do have torches)

BOB No real extension for that Lemon I just do not move the clock forward

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (the problem is we are all human so we can't see in the dark)

Shislif (MeLange): I doubt MeLange is good at stealth

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (we COULD set a trap...)

BOB What spells did Jericho use?

Michael (Jericho): (Kidnapping is bad regardless of people, monster, or what. If it's people we can try talking. If it's monster, we try killing. There is nothing we can plan for because we don't have lots of powers)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok but could you GET an extension for that, because I feel like if you can, you will

Michael (Jericho): (Jericho used Water to "Cool" off Darren in the last session)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (lol to lemon)

Spring (Ratbone Carder): The inside of a cave is going to be just as dark in the day as at nigth

BOB Ok so that is one spell

Lemon (Levi Reed): Good point

Shislif (MeLange): plus approaching the monster with a bunch of torches, real frankentein vibes...

Michael (Jericho): He's level 1. Gets one spell.........right?

BOB do you know how many he gets per day?

Michael (Jericho): Fuck. I hate magic in D&D

Carissa (Vee Barlett): .,..no

BOB This is why we are walking through this slowly

Michael (Jericho): I know the general "levels" you can cast, but was pretty certain you only got one spell per day at level `

BOB I said this could take two or three sessions,

Michael (Jericho): Is it three? spells?

Shislif (MeLange): oh but Mel's think is double hand axe and you can't do double hand axe if one hand is holding a torch...

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, but we don't know if it's a monster or what. We saw two sets of footprints... one I'm assuming was the kids. The other was human footprints, and then marks of something being dragged. Presumably the farmer. So it seems like only one person TOOK him, but whether there are more people in the cave where he is now, who knows

Carissa (Vee Barlett): what's your knowledge?

Michael (Jericho): Sigh. Let me pull up site

BOB On the site Michael, for Priests, there is the chart for how many to cast per day

Carissa (Vee Barlett): One spell but if you have high enough INT you may have more

BOB AND I already put it on your sheet for you

Michael (Jericho): Hm, is it different fro Priests?

BOB If you look at yoru Powers and Spell Slots

Shislif (MeLange): Mel has Animal Lore could that be used in this situation somehow?

BOB Priests are NOT mages, everything is different

Michael (Jericho): Ah, found it.

Michael (Jericho): Wow

Michael (Jericho): So, four spells per day?

BOB Now you need to check off one

Lemon (Levi Reed): It could, if we see an animal

Lemon (Levi Reed): We don't know for sure what we're dealing with yet

BOB becasue you did not target and cast so you can click one off on the buttons there

Lemon (Levi Reed): But yes, if it's an animal, please use that

Michael (Jericho): Which button? Is it the ones next to the Divine 1rst?

BOB 4 first level spells at 1st level

BOB Correct Michael

Carissa (Vee Barlett): use it no matter, so you can decide if it's an animal or not

BOB and also the same for Angelica

Shislif (MeLange): ok

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, fair point

Michael (Jericho): Not letting me check off. Screensnip?

BOB For the number of spells Ava can cast

Carissa (Vee Barlett): because of your stats

Shislif (MeLange): and like, monsters, which I assume a chupacabra is, count as animals ?

BOB I checked it for you Michael

Lemon (Levi Reed): Not usually, but we won't know for sure until you try!

Michael (Jericho): Thank you, but for future, any idea why it would not let me do that?

Shislif (MeLange): oh ok good point

Carissa (Vee Barlett): one way to find out: roll!

BOB Because you did not cast the spell previously correctly

Lemon (Levi Reed): BOB won't give us that information until someone tries, and I think you're the only one who has that right now

Shislif (MeLange): when would I roll that? Would we need to actually see it first or just when we enter the cave?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and rolls cost nothing unlike spells

BOB Also for Angelica fire away with questions

Lemon (Levi Reed): If we see it, hear it, or suspect it

Shislif (MeLange): ok cool

Shislif (MeLange): silly spells

Carissa (Vee Barlett): heck he could have rolled it as we followed the tracks in saying, "What do you think, Melange? That look animal to you?"

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): I think I'm good.. i can't think of a spell to use to help us with light... other than pass without a trace

Shislif (MeLange): oh yea good point lol

Shislif (MeLange): oh well when we get back in character then

BOB Not yet Sharif

Lemon (Levi Reed): He wasn't here yet, but yeah, definitely you can try it whenever. I rolled like four totally useless things already today, just in case

Shislif (MeLange): yea I said when

BOB I want everyone to have a chance to plot out some things

BOB grins

BOB Yes you did

Shislif (MeLange): lol :)

BOB Lorie your thoughts?

Michael (Jericho): I'm going to cast Light on a rock

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Ok so again: we all run in OR we try to set a trap? I don't think it's an animal, personally. And whoever walks in with torches will be targets.

Shislif (MeLange): so if this is a cave and we're walking in a line, what order should we take?

Lemon (Levi Reed): I miss our enchanted rocks or whatever it was that gave us light

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): What if the Rangers amble on ahead and plot out a course and we do the scooby sneak behind them?

Michael (Jericho): See Above there Lemon LOL

Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi first!

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): My stealth skills stink right now ...

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Only works if we get Levi some of his skills

BOB Michael remember that lasts for how long? Light is not permanent

Shislif (MeLange): Sounds like a good idea Lor

Michael (Jericho): Ah shoot. Damn

Shislif (MeLange): Lorie

Michael (Jericho): Good catch bob. I thought we did something with that in the past

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Generally, you want fighters and rangers first unless you suspect traps then you want the trap finders. But again. It's dark. Light will put a target on our backs.

BOB Higher level spells Michael

Lemon (Levi Reed): I missed that lol, sorry Michael

BOB and or casting it differently

BOB Read your spell description

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): Where are those continual light rocks when we need them?

BOB In your hopeful future Lorie

BOB :)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi thinks he's really great, he WANTS to go first. he will bedrudgingly let someone else if he HAS to

Lemon (Levi Reed): begrudingly. however you spell that.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Drag Melange with you. He should have the armor and AC to handle being hit

Shislif (MeLange): N Mel's got his behind

BOB You can set your marching order up on the party sheet

Shislif (MeLange): does MeLange have armor?

Jericho: Who will be in the lead?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Did he buy some?

Shislif (MeLange): I don't think so lol

BOB That cave entrance you saw looks to be between 5 to 10 feet wide

Carissa (Vee Barlett): LEVI! Pay attention :)

Jericho: Levi!

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm volunteering!

BOB OOC Michael

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Were you here when we were buying things? I can't remember.

Michael (Jericho): (Casting Bless on Levi)

Lemon (Levi Reed): But if someone else thinks I shouldn't...

Shislif (MeLange): Mel's a shirtless fighter like in that movie Fight Club

BOB Not yet

Shislif (MeLange): except with axes

BOB again look at how long your spell lasts

BOB know when to cast them

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol, "that movie"

Carissa (Vee Barlett): MeLange has Split Mail armor

Shislif (MeLange): I'm not sure, I thnk I just got axes

Shislif (MeLange): lol Lemon

BOB He has armor too

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Thank you for using party sheet correctly :P

Shislif (MeLange): oh cool

Michael (Jericho): 6 Rounds is not bad?

Michael (Jericho): And what did armor have to do with anything?

BOB I cannot answer that Michael, just want everyone to know

BOB Your fighter is in armor

Lemon (Levi Reed): Well someone is going to maybe have to take a hit

Lemon (Levi Reed): If we get in a fight

Michael (Jericho): Does that mean, like, Bless won't work on him?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and if we want it to happen, we need to do it tonight when people are here

Lemon (Levi Reed): So that's where the armor comes in

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Bless will

BOB No it does not Michael

Shislif (MeLange): oh so Mel is already wearing the armor I don't need to add it?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wut

Jericho: wut indeed?

Jericho: wut indeed?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Double negative

Michael (Jericho): wut indeed?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Doesn't mean it won't work

Lemon (Levi Reed): So it will work

Shislif (MeLange): do we have any healers?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Too late at night. I can't figure out two things at once. SO back to Sharif. You should be wearing your armor. Check your inventory tab.

BOB Michael asked if Bless would not work on Melange because he is wearing armor

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): some healing spells available

Carissa (Vee Barlett): On your inventory tab, your split mail armor shouldhave a shirt icon on it.

Shislif (MeLange): yea I don't see any armor in my inventory why I'm not sure

Michael (Jericho): So, let me be perfectly clear? A person wearing Armor, cannot receive any beneift from Bless. On the record

Lemon (Levi Reed): Bless works on everyone regardless of armor

BOB Yes meLange is at AC 3

Shislif (MeLange): oh right!

Shislif (MeLange): Splint Mail?

BOB with his armor and such

Lemon (Levi Reed): BOB answered your negative with another negative, thus cancelling it out

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm a BOB translator now

Shislif (MeLange): ok my bad

BOB That is the opposite of what I said

Shislif (MeLange): yea it's equipped

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, then maybe you need to clear it up

Jericho: Forget Speech. DOES BLESS WORK ON SOMEONE WEARING ARMOR

Lemon (Levi Reed): Use a full sentence, like I make my pre-k do

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I always thought bless worked on everybody armor or not. this is news to me

BOB BLESS works on everyone like it says in the spell description when you read it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Yes. Bob's double negative confused us all is all that happened.

Shislif (MeLange): it'd be pretty lame blessing if it couldn't get passed a lil armor

Michael (Jericho): I AM READING IT. I am asking about ARMOR, because I am confused on if that actually means anything in the context of the above TEXT

Spring (Ratbone Carder): maybe several of us misread the spell description, have to go back and look

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes, and then his "opposite of what I said"

Lemon (Levi Reed): Also confusing

BOB ARMOR is about Melange BLESS is about Jericho

Shislif (MeLange): ohhhh

Carissa (Vee Barlett): BLESS WORKS ON MELANGE WEARING ARMOR

BOB yes

Lemon (Levi Reed): Bless has nothing to do with armor

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Good now?

Michael (Jericho): Okay. So Bob was commenting on DURATION of spells for me, but ARMOR to someone else. Done

Lemon (Levi Reed): Michael doesn't need to worry about armor in relation to Bless

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hahahahahahaha holy crap okay

BOB Correct

Michael (Jericho): You can understand my clarifying that right the hell quick

Michael (Jericho): Just for the record

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes

Spring (Ratbone Carder): heffalumps and woozils

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm just shocked and saddened at how long it took to clear up lol. Too much wine tonight, BOB?

BOB You have two spell casters right now, Jericho and Ava, you should know what they can do to help, what and when you want them to cast

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Ok but.... I am getting tired. We doing things? What's the plan?

BOB I have not had any tonight

Michael (Jericho): I am getting tired as well

Carissa (Vee Barlett): And like Levi, that's the problem.

BOB chuckles

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

BOB The key thing is everyone has weapons and armor on their sheets for what they have to use on this trip

Lemon (Levi Reed): How much planning can we do? I think go in prepared for a fight, but hope we can talk our way out of it

Michael (Jericho): And, I am reading the spells. I've had an experience where reading the damn spells wasn't ideal. But that doesn't change the fact that bless might be great to stack with someone who likely will be getting hit, regardless of their armror

Lemon (Levi Reed): Our usual MO

Shislif (MeLange): will we be starting tonight or next week?

BOB The only light sources you have are Vee's torches and Jericho can cast Light

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, yeah, I guess other people can plan things

Michael (Jericho): For one hour

BOB Up to the group, I am ready

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): what spheres do you all have?

Michael (Jericho): My light will last 1 hour

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Yeah, Ratbone has no armor

Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi's got nothing really except spelunking and machetes

Shislif (MeLange): I'm pro just going in after we know the order

Carissa (Vee Barlett): And remember he who hath the light shall be attackthed

'Dru5232321' connected

BOB and here is Ryan to help out

Carissa (Vee Barlett): nah, he's taking the girl home

BOB insgr

Spring (Ratbone Carder): well maybe he finished that

BOB Grins

BOB no she was passed off to someone else

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we can use him as bait now?

BOB Yes

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, we sent her with TMO and Mini

BOB So we know Melange up front then Levi

Lemon (Levi Reed): We will just keep passing her off to whoever isn't here lol

Shislif (MeLange): Is Mel holding a torch?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee can give him one, sure

Lemon (Levi Reed): Maybe he's holding a torch for Levi, but if so, he needs to speak up

Lemon (Levi Reed): Let that love blossom

Shislif (MeLange): hey let the gesture speak of itself

Shislif (MeLange): for itself :)

BOB Remember also both of them can use two weapons, but if you are holding a torch then only one

BOB Also a good time to check what everyone has for weapons

Shislif (MeLange): yea that's kinda the lame part

Michael (Jericho): I can cast Light on a piece of clothing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so maybe one of the priests or thief hold it, wheover isn't fighting

Michael (Jericho): but will only last an hour

Shislif (MeLange): maybe we should have a third person up front who can hold the torch?

Michael (Jericho): I don't mind holding torch, i'm not a fihter

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I can help by spending the next hour reading what I missed

Shislif (MeLange): then we got 4 weapons

BOB chuckles with Ryan

Lemon (Levi Reed): Cast it on one of your holy hankies

Michael (Jericho): I have two blunt weapons if someone needs them

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we chased chupacabra to a cave. and GO

BOB What weapons is Vee using?

BOB What is Ava using

Carissa (Vee Barlett): double trident of course

BOB go down the list

Carissa (Vee Barlett): which... how does that work? two hits per round?

BOB Trident can be used from behind someone too, to stab past them

Ratbone Carder: Ryan, here you need this background music Angelica shared

Ratbone Carder: (LINK)

<a href="https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0cunNjgONCVLqn2utcygml?si=12305cfcddf74597">(LINK)</a>

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): scythe for me

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yep, behind Levi :)

Spring (Ratbone Carder): whoops, ooc

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but really, at level 1 duel wielding, is it two hits per round then?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Catch up version: We followed some tracks into the jungle. One set of adult footprints, one set of children's footprints, and one something being dragged. Found a girl hiding in the bushes. Her dad has been taken by a "dark shape" that went into a cave. We're about to go into the cave.

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Thank ye

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): can I have two equiped at the same time. If so, I'd want both whip and scythe ready, but scythe is a forerunner for me

Lemon (Levi Reed): We have been told chupacabra, but due to the footprints, we suspect human

BOB Priests can only use one weapon at a time

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): then scythe wins lol

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Matthias emerges from the cave, a dark shape against the cave entrance. "Hey guys, what are you doing here?"

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *stab*

BOB Warriors (so Melange, Vee, and Levi) get to use two at once if they spend the skills on it which they did

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Matthias emerges from the cave, a dark shape against the cave entrance. "Hey guys, what are you doing here?"

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): *dies*

BOB Oh also Mtthias

Shislif (MeLange): lemme refill brb then I'll be good to go

Hyacinth Jeffers: :: looks confused :: wasn't he back there?

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Matthias Crowtooth: test

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (Pass)

BOB Matthias passed off the kid to someone else

Michael (Jericho): So...at the risk of jumping any guns, are we going in?

BOB That seems to be the plan

BOB so far we have three people on the map

Lemon (Levi Reed): My machetes are ready

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'll move back on if Mel wants to go first

Michael (Jericho): Order of Ops: Jericho Cast Light on his Levi's or Me's armor.

BOB That will be round one

Lemon (Levi Reed): I still think cast it on a hankie in case we need to hide it later

Michael (Jericho): Willing to cast Bless, but lasts 6 rounds.

Lemon (Levi Reed): We can tie it around someone's neck for now, so they can dual weild

Michael (Jericho): (I will hang it on a Hankie)

Michael (Jericho): So I'm out in half hour. Fading out

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Matthias can dance-fight

Spring (Ratbone Carder): ok how do i get in on the action?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I am on the party sheet order thingy

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i am on the combat tracker

Carissa (Vee Barlett): those in front want to be center right on that map

BOB Right now you have Melange and Levi up front with Vee right behind them

Carissa (Vee Barlett): which isn't quite shown on sheet but details

BOB I am moving people off the combat tracker onto the map of the caves as you tell me where they are

BOB who is after Vee

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): I am behind Levi.

BOB Ok

BOB so that is the first two ranks,

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Do I need to roll for initiative?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): not yet

BOB Everyone will once we get to that point

BOB first we need an order

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Great, now I can't load the map

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Mel/Levi, Vee/Ava, .....??

Michael (Jericho): Jericho will stick to the back

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): #2 with fries and a medium Dr. Pepper for my order

BOB Which map Spring?

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (all the maps are black, so I closed them)

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I precume it's Cave In Hillside

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, Jericho is a wimp, keep him way back there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): someone up front or middle needs a torch then

BOB I have not shared the Hillside Cave map yet

Carissa (Vee Barlett): to help those up front see

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Oh nevermind then

BOB that has the people on it who have no torches

BOB or lights going yet to see anything at midnight

Lemon (Levi Reed): A torch and a magic hankie with light cast on it? Or will the light be enough?

Michael (Jericho): (Jericho will cast Light for the front Carissa)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh wait forgot light

Michael (Jericho): (But will stick mostly to the back)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): thx

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'd do it before we enter cave....which is hopefully your plan

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Okay I can't get a mental picture of where to put me

Michael (Jericho): (A reminder, it will only last one hour)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So nothing attacks us out of the dark

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I thought the party page thingy was for that

BOB Right now trying to get everyone to give me an order for going in

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Matthias has a torch that he can pass off. He can also move ahead with his decent Hide in Shadows and okay Move Silently

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I can only move my picture or I'd fix it for you Spring

Michael (Jericho): Armor up front, squishy behind

Michael (Jericho): Seems to be order of Ops bob

Lemon (Levi Reed): How squishy are you, Spring?

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (I think I will be after Vee, Levi, MeLange... if we're going single-file)

Michael (Jericho): I will be last

Spring (Ratbone Carder): very squichy, i have no armor

Shislif (MeLange): back

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So what I'm hearing...

Lemon (Levi Reed): Then maybe just before Michael

Lemon (Levi Reed): ?

BOB everyone stop

Lemon (Levi Reed): Suggestion not a demand

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Front to Back: Melange/Levi, Vee/Ava, Hyacinth/Matthias, Jerico/Ratbone

Ratbone Carder: stopped

BOB You changed the order on the party sheet and then told me a third different thing to put on the map

Shislif (MeLange): can Levi sense traps?

Lemon (Levi Reed): he can not

Lemon (Levi Reed): We're still working it out, BOB

Shislif (MeLange): bummer

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Matthias can but he only has a 5

Lemon (Levi Reed): Hyacinth can

Ratbone Carder: That's because you verbally asked for something else after we filled out the party sheet

Ratbone Carder: we are following your lead

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no one was using the party sheet

BOB sigh

Shislif (MeLange): better than nothing, he should be up with us

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (Sorry, I think we had an order, but now we're single-file - not meant to be confusing)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): not single file

Ratbone Carder: oh sorry, i mean i was doing those thing

BOB waiting again for everyone to stop

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we had two and twos going, caveis... 10 ft was it? 12 ft? large enough

Spring: stopping

GM: You changed the order on the party sheet and then told me a third different thing to put on the map

Michael (Jericho): sorry, tried to raise hand

Michael (Jericho): ignore

BOB The party sheet now has what you told me you wanted to go into the cave, Melange and Levi up front with Ava and Vee behind them

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm ready to explain why that happened if you want to hear it. Otherwise, waiting.

BOB I don't

BOB I want someone to say who is next in line

Shislif (MeLange): can the guy who senses traps be in the 2nd duo?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Uh, sure. Matthias is with Ava and Vee

BOB Cannot fit three across

Shislif (MeLange): cool thx

BOB is 5 to 10 foot across

Lemon (Levi Reed): Hyacinth can also do traps. Not sure where Lorie wants to be

Carissa (Vee Barlett): suggestion would be Levi and Matthias first if you want trap sensing and sneaking and such

Carissa (Vee Barlett): then Melange and Vee next so you have fighters nearby

Shislif (MeLange): that makes sense

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I'm fine with being first, second, or third, whichever makes BOB the least mad

Lemon (Levi Reed): I would be willing to switch with MeLange, so the bigger armor is up front

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well that's no fun :P

Shislif (MeLange): oh that's fair too, ok MeLange not gonna let his man down

Carissa (Vee Barlett): does it matter for spelunking? that's a bob question

Shislif (MeLange): stick to the original plan, besides would a chupacabra even lay traps? really more of an issue if we're dealing with humans

BOB Levi can do his checks at any point in the group

Michael (Jericho): I get frustration, but this is a computer-based interface, and it's not something a lot of us are familiar with. This is the very first time I've seen the Character Order. I know this is rich coming from me, but this might be a time to chill out.

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): k, so Levi and Matthias third then?

Vee Barlett: Wait

Lemon (Levi Reed): It's probably not a chupacabra

Carissa (Vee Barlett): For trap check, you need to be up front, correct? Also a bob question.

BOB Yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So melange and matthias are up front ot start

Lemon (Levi Reed): So I think MeLange and Matthias up front might be smarter

Shislif (MeLange): okey doke

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Sure

Lemon (Levi Reed): But OOC I'm fine with wahtever

Spring: I like using the party sheet. and i would like us to continue to use it instead of discussing verbally a list of people to put in a map we can't see yet.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Angelica, do you want to be closer to the action? You can switch with Vee and be next to Levi in the second group if you want

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Matthias is 16. He's live a good, long life should he die from being squishy

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Michael (Jericho): No worries my man, we all seem to be 16 year olds trapped in 40 year olds

Shislif (MeLange): true 16 year olds would probably just run in lol

BOB Yes to Spring, the list I was reading from was the order they were on the formation there, then people started moving around on that after I had set them onto the map

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Trapped is the right word. My inner 16 year old is screaming and crying at the injustice of his imprisonment

Lemon (Levi Reed): I also like the party sheet and would enjoy using it.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So she may be AFK so to get this done, put Levi/Vee second. Ava and Hyacthin third, Jerico/Ratbone last

Lemon (Levi Reed): But I think we also need to discuss it, since we can only move our own icon

Michael (Jericho): I like it as well, but don't understand it well enough to be comfortable. But getting frsutrated when we are doing our best isn't going to help anyone.

Spring: So we'll ask each other to keep looking at the party sheet. And make any changes there.

BOB The party sheet is updated to what you all just said

Michael (Jericho): Okay.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Looks good to me

Michael (Jericho): How Do I read it?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I put Vee second with Levi, but that's fine, too. More trap checking with thief there instead.

Michael (Jericho): From left to right, and up to down

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Right side goes first. There is an arrow by Matthias.

Michael (Jericho): Does thsi represent a bi-grid? Where two rows of three are shoulder to shoulder?

Spring: okay i'm gonna scooch Ratbone closer to everyone

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): No issues to swap with you

Michael (Jericho): I'm not sure if I'm lookking at a map grid, or a programming logic grid. TMO, help me out here

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah you gotta turn the whole thing sideways. Think of the right side of the grid as "north"

Spring: cool?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it's fine, at this point I just wanna get going

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Jericho maybe move your icon on that center circle

Michael (Jericho): I know carisaa and I'm sorry, but I'm trying to understand how the grid works

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Sorry sorry let me channel TMO for you

Carissa (Vee Barlett): TMO: MATHHHHHHHH

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Spring: I think it's just for measuring how much space we are taking up

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): (The grid does make orientation hard...especially with a target in the middle of it

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Full disclosure, I am still getting used to this system and don't know how to access everything you are all talking about, but also don't want to slow us down by having someone explain it to me.

Spring: aw crap, work situation brb

Michael (Jericho): OK. He seems to be in the Center, and it looks like a double file line of people moving to the caves

Lemon (Levi Reed): The arrow on the right faces forward

Michael (Jericho): alright

Michael (Jericho): I'm ready

Shislif (MeLange): 2nd

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes we can only do double file right now

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Ryan go to MENU -> Party Sheet

Michael (Jericho): Jericho will have to breifly leave formation, as bob says round one is when I can cast Light. Is that correct bob?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Normally I would tell you to go ahead and ask, because I think it's good to take the time and learn, but tempers seem to be on the short side this evening, so remind me another time and I will help you out

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Then click the tab "Order"

Lemon (Levi Reed): Or Carissa will do it anyway lol

Shislif (MeLange): nice reading the room Lemon!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Simple enough

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): I'm getting a little tired - would it be a good idea to have ourselves prepped for next week and then go FULL THROTTLE next week with a good ole' battle?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'd agree but... are Ryan and Sharif going to be in first thing next Friday as our frontliners? :)

Shislif (MeLange): oh I should be able to be on for all session next week too

Michael (Jericho): I am fine with that as well

BOB Excellent from Sharif

Carissa (Vee Barlett): perfect

BOB and hopeful for Ryan?

Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, there's no guarantee that we're going to be battling, but yeah, we do seem to be getting close to a natural stopping point

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Carissa is awesome and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

Michael (Jericho): magic should have come back by then

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Wooo!!

Shislif (MeLange): yea sounds good to just start fresh next week

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I would be cross at that 'hopeful', but that's fair given my track record.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you mean y'all don't wanna play when half of us are cranky?? :)

Michael (Jericho): No

Michael (Jericho): Not really

Carissa (Vee Barlett): It's fine. I'm apparently awesome so that's a good night to end on for me.

Michael (Jericho): :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *note

BOB so when we start next week the first thing is to make sure the Lights are ready, then if you do Bless, then round three would start

BOB Thank you everyone

Vee Barlett: Night all!

Shislif (MeLange): It's ok we all get cranky sometimes, I was getting super cranky trying to find FGU earlier

Michael (Jericho): Night all! Great to see you again

Shislif (MeLange): night everyone!

'Michael' disconnected

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Night everyone. Sorry for being so late :(

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): night everyone!!!

'Lycanangel' disconnected

Lorie (Hyacinth Jeffers): Good night
