GM: It was a nice day, quiet and accomplished what I needed to, plus more

GM: Hey there Carissa

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Out with family tomorrow for an extended lunch. Haha, I believe a group is planning some Baulder's Gate play time on Sunday. And hopefully no "plans" on Monday. But I'll definitely be working on a few things on my own time in between.

'springdew' connected

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Hi Carissa!

GM: Hey there Spring

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Hello Hello, Spring!

GM: Sounds good Angelica

GM: I have lots of ideas to work through and build on the website

GM: plus all the normal

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): exciting!!!

GM: and I hope to fix the main site to allow everyone to go back to using the old bookmarks

'mharmon1' connected

GM: Everything is there just had to add a bit to the URL

GM: want to re-re-do that now

GM: and now Michael is here!

seyfert: Hi all! Sorry walked away for a minute while it loaded.

springdew: Hi hi!

GM: How goes things Spring?

GM: and hope it is not taking too long to load Carissa

GM: This update cause some issues, that I swapped around

springdew: Exhausted. Kittens.

Ratbone Carder: Whom it is time to feed again

'LemonyLemon' connected

GM: And then we have Lemon

springdew (Ratbone Carder): OOC LOL

mharmon1: Reinforcements have arrived! Also, great news! A uh, little unexpected, but I wanted to ensure this was actually public knowledge. Robert Anstett (I always mess up your name bud, sorry. You're just...bob to me LOL), but as of one hour ago, I am officially Dr. Harmon, and while I dedicated some things to my parents, without Bob's game and support from this very group, I never would have made it. The stress would have cracked me long ago. So that is public on the web forever. He officially changed my life along with all of you :) I have more to say, but it's gotta wait till I am in person. I am exhausted after that defense.

seyfert: no loading problems, just me being distracted problems

springdew (Ratbone Carder): Holy crap, DOCTOR HARMON!!!!!

GM: Love you too Michael

GM: and that is awesome

mharmon1: Just wanted to ensure you go your due bob :)

seyfert: Congrats!!

springdew (Ratbone Carder): DOC TOR HAR MON!!! Woo HOOO!

mharmon1: Lisa will get a special think you for introducing, but I have to message her outside of game. Not sure she is active on chat

seyfert: and for Lemon: (LINK)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Whaaat, Doctor!? Congrats and also I have this weird mole would you mind checking it out...?

GM: LOL

mharmon1: Not that kind of doctorl LOL

Ratbone Carder: Rock ON! So AWESOME!

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Unlike you, Carissa, I have a REAL JOB with DAILY responsibilities

GM: Hah

mharmon1: So yeah, sometimes we irritate the shit out of each other, but you guys have been my rock the last four exhausting years. It was also ironically the day we finally sold the company. So, I now can bother the hell out of bob on the website

GM: It will be very good

mharmon1: You say that now.....

GM: LOTS of world building over the next few months

springdew: Okay NOW i am feeding kitties but keeping one eye in here

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Anyway, hi friends!

mharmon1: Carissa is going to have to face me in text to text.....

seyfert: Wait what??

GM: I think that all of us here now will be around the table in two more weeks too

mharmon1: Since I'll be contributing more, we'll have to do more OOC stuff. I know we all contribute, but for some reason your posts stick out more. No offense everyone

mharmon1: Just dark humor

seyfert: Oh on the website! Sorry my cat distracted me and I didn't see new chat.

mharmon1: LOL

seyfert: I look forward to nagging Jericho offline ;)

mharmon1: Bob will have to stop insane world building before it gets out of hand. Don't want to stray too far from his charge after all ;)

GM: I have a laptop for lemon, and screens for Angelica, Michael, and Carissa, did you need one too correct Spring?

GM: and just you want Michael

GM: Just you wait

springdew: No I don't need any hardware

mharmon1: I'll have mine and a portable screen out of necessity for Starfield while I am partiying in Orlando lol, so if necessary I can share

seyfert: (and for those who didn't see, please read the Discord post about COVID precautions before flying to FL)

GM: OK

GM: Yes please, everyone be safe and careful

GM: and I will check in on food preferences before hand also

seyfert: This chat is public post so I don't want to expand more, but you all know someone you need to be do your best to not get sick (me)

mharmon1: I will do a test before arrival and ensure I am masked up to make everyone feel comfortable. If I do test positive (don't thikn I will), I'll hole up in the hotel as long as I can participate and see you all at least once. I ordered a ridiculous outfit that bob has to take a picture in at the very least or my mother will kill me

GM: That is good public knowledge... BE SAFE AND CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS

mharmon1: No, that's just common sense and common courtesy

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): No offense with the website comment, Michael. I do the bare minimum, and I know it

springdew: 100% y'all

mharmon1: LOL. you have done more then me this past year Lemon. You rock :)

mharmon1: Everyone has be default actually

GM: No you do not Lemon, you contribute

seyfert: Y'all rock

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): And Carissa, I'll do my best, but... preschoolers. I am very happy to take a test when I get there though

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I contribute the bare minimum

GM: SO overall you are missing Ryan and Sharif who both will be late

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm not like, dissing myself

seyfert: I'll see how I feel when we get there on if I mask, but was just an FYI, especially with this new wave

mharmon1: That being said, Carissa do you care if I do a softer mask? I'll make sure it's rated, but it'll bother the hell out of me for certain masks if it's for hours on end?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I just don't want more responsibility

seyfert: You don't need to mask if you don't want to, no worries!

mharmon1: Uh, we'll see about that. I really don't want to worry you

seyfert: It's more me hoping to not feel a need, but we'll see how it pans out. If I do,it'll be the surgical because I understand, lol

mharmon1: It doesn't bother me

GM: We have masks if anyone needs

mharmon1: hehehe

mharmon1: thank you :)

GM: Have not heard from TMO and Jtom

seyfert: thank you for checking/offering tho!

mharmon1: I'd even shave my face for you to have a tight fitting mask heheh

seyfert: LOL

seyfert: We have to fit test those every year. I know how much committment it is to shave for that.

GM: We do have your priests here,

GM: Michael how up to date are you on what happened?

seyfert: Or how significant a gesture, I should say, lol

seyfert: YOU LEFT US TO ZOMBIES

seyfert: YOU AND ANGELICA

seyfert: (I forgive you, you're allow to have a real life I SUPPOSE)

GM: smiles

mharmon1: AFK one moment, my bad

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Maybe that was our plan all along MWHAHAHAHA

GM: LOL

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): .... just kidding .... actually really sorry about that

mharmon1: Back

seyfert: It's okay, I'm just jealous. I was not aware I'm allowed to have a life outside this game.

GM: No priests is not a horrible thing, just would have been fun for people to see how Turn Undead works

mharmon1: That escalated quickly!

seyfert: Nah, we killed them. They're just lvl 1 zombies who took down two of our fighters. We were fineeee

mharmon1: Honestly, I spent the week preparign for Defense because theym oved it up an additional week. I needed to read andI didn't. Shouldn't be a good excuse anymore though. Guys, give me the rough version of what you need. I got the gist, but thats' about it. Bob said no one died, and I about cried. So how can I make up for it now?

GM: Well we will talk about that idea at the end of tonight Carissa

GM: Right now the group is at the Temple of the Orange Sunsets

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

GM: There is a small healing ward, not a hospital, but a place for farmers with injuries to come to

mharmon1: Yeah....... Level1 who took them down. Sigh We gotta train up hehe

mharmon1: So I can do some healing if possible, even if non-magical I can do my best

GM: That is where the group ended up

mharmon1: No chubacabra? Or yes chupacrabra?

GM: There is a need for a cure light wounds on Levi, and on Rothuss

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): we should be okay without spells - i think it's like a long rest for the group at the hospital

GM: to bring them back to walking wounded

mharmon1 (Jericho): Let me check how many spells I have left

GM: Then they both need 24 hours before they can take more healing and get back to normal

GM: Angelica, you can practice casting by doing a Cure Light Wounds on Levi

Jericho: [SKILL] Diagnostics [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 14]

Jericho: [SKILL] Healing [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 17) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 18]

GM: and then Michael can do one on Rothuss, I think you both have at least one first level spell left

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm sorry, I'm busy being mad about something stupid on the internet, you will have my full attention shortly

Ava Bosley: [INIT] [MOD:Cure Light Wounds] [d10+5 = 8]

GM: Is it somethign we should be mad about too Lemon?

GM: Not quite right Angelica

Jericho: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 2]

Heal [1] -> [to Rothuss Carder] [STATUS: Critical]

GM: There you to for Jerico

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): No, it's neighborhood-specific

mharmon1 (Jericho): Grunts

GM: Michael help out Angelica to cast like that

mharmon1 (Jericho): Sorry bud. Not normally so shaken, and I didn't even do all that much

Jericho: Sorry bud. Not normally so shaken, and I didn't even do all that much

Jericho: Apologetically

Ava Bosley: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 3]

mharmon1 (Jericho): Oh, she got it hahaa

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): fixed it

GM: Angelica, has to be on the target

GM: nope that did not go to anyone

Ava Bosley: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 5]

Heal [1] -> [to Levi Reed] [STATUS: Critical]

GM: There you go

GM: Thank you

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): hehe thank you for the help

mharmon1 (Jericho): As I was typing again. LOL! She's a quick learner

GM: So now everyone crashes here in the ward

GM: very tired from just running running running from before sunset until well after midnight

Jericho: Wearily

Vee Barlett: You never pull an all-nighter before?

Jericho: Come on, we need to get these two to beds if possible

Ava Bosley: Nothing ever causes us to

GM: You are in the ward

Jericho: And No. Not like that

mharmon1 (Jericho): (So light injuries for farmers and such. Are there beds bob?)

GM: Yes

Vee Barlett: Not like THAT? Ooh, I hear a story, buddy.

Jericho: Help me get them to the back. There are some beds in the rear

Ava Bosley: Is this a normal night for you?

Jericho: Hell no

Jericho: Grunts

Jericho: Hefting comrades to the back

Jericho: Hefting comrades to the back

Ava Bosley: Assists in bringing them to their beds

Jericho: By that I mean not under threat of actual death. Vee is better at that kind of stuff then me

Vee Barlett: Can you walk Levi? Or I need to carry you like a newlywesd? Ain't as good as Melange, but I can try.

Jericho: White-faced

Jericho: I just like to heal things. Not hurt them

Vee Barlett: shots him finger guns

Vee Barlett: And don't forget it.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *shoots

Ava Bosley: Oh, I was speaking to Vee - she seems to be accustomed to this lifestyle?

Jericho: I'll see what I can do throughout the night. I don't want them to be left alone after all of that. I can't imagine anyone would

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: Trust me, I won't

Jericho: Whispers

GM: You all do need a full night's sleep, to get your spells back, etc

Vee Barlett: Well, you know, nights I help Gloria, I've carried a drunk out or two. Sometimes aren't they fight themselves unconscious.

GM: And there are accolytes to take care of things

Vee Barlett: Not as smart to do on the water, you know, but it happens.

Ava Bosley: Would those on shift tomorrow be angered to find a few extra people sleeping spare beds, Jericho?

Ava Bosley: smiles weakly

Jericho: Shakes head. "Ill take responsibility"

Jericho: I doubt after last night I'll be in the order much longer anyways

Jericho: We didn't even accomplish our goal.

Jericho: I'm just going to roll up a bedroll here next to these two

Jericho: So I can keep an eye

Jericho: You guys go get drunk or something

Jericho: Rest

Hyacinth Jeffers: If you go first thing in the morning to the farm and get more information I will cover for you for a couple of hours

Jericho: Nods

Ava Bosley: *sigh*

Jericho: Thank you

Ava Bosley: I'll stay with you Jericho.

Ava Bosley: Until morning...

Jericho: Shrugs

Vee Barlett: Nah, ain't you gotta rest for spells?

GM: Everyone can stay here

GM: and sleep

Ava Bosley: sleeps

GM: the Acolytes will take care of the patients

Vee Barlett: We're in your temple. What do you expect? We can all sleep.

GM: it is too far to travel for anyone

Jericho: Keeps close, but collapes on bedroll and grunts

GM: BRB refilling, but you can disucss as you are falling asleep options on what to do about wrapping up this mission

mharmon1 (Jericho): (So, for the jerk who didn't read, can anyone give me the TL'DR version and what I should ask farmers? If not, no worries, just don't want to make things awkward)

mharmon1 (Jericho): Did Vee at least get to pickup her loot?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Sorry, just caught up. TMO said they'd both be late

mharmon1 (Jericho): I know she wanted to haha

seyfert (Vee Barlett): she got some knives and we got some spending money for the party

Jericho: So Vee, I uh, am not ashamed to admit I wasn't thinking clearly. What do you think would be a good line of questioning here?

Jericho: Speaks into pillow

seyfert (Vee Barlett): You can follow lead when we get to farmer in the morning, but we need to figure out WHY there were zombies. Generally means someone is doing magic they should not be doing. So why was the farmer left alive? Did he know who it was or was he the next victim?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (let me translate that to Vee speak)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (oh sorry)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Was thinking about just making us not look like idiots by saying something dumb :) )

Vee Barlett: Why wasn't the farmer a zombie? And HOW are there zombie here? Old wives' tales always say there's gotta be magic involved. And here? That's you all.

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Was the farmer alive?)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Did we get him out?)

Vee Barlett: Mr. Markin might know who it was. Or maybe saw his face before he was gagged.

Jericho: Nods

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (yes he's back home with wife recovering - we're visiting in the morning and hoping for breakfast)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Thank you :) )

mharmon1 (Jericho): (You rock)

Jericho: Blurts

Levi Reed: And was it a real chupacabra that took him?

GM: b

Jericho: How do you do it?

Levi Reed: How many antlers did it have?

Jericho: Just looking at the blood made me sick

Jericho: I can't ever do that

GM: The candles grow dim

GM: The soft sounds of prayer echo throughout the chamber

Vee Barlett: We never saw one. Just your dead body next to zombie guys.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *guts

GM: Everyone quietly falls asleep

Effect ['Casting Cure Light Wounds;(C)'] -> [EXPIRED] [on Ava Bosley]

The time is 1:56 AM

The time is 9:56 AM

The date is Mid____se, 25th Ohm (Early Winter), 586 SGR

Young Moon's phase is Full Moon

Old Moon's phase is Waxing Gibbous

Levi Reed: I wasn't dead

GM: It is morning

Jericho: Groans, whispering morning prayer into his pillow despite his tiredness

Vee Barlett: yawns

Vee Barlett: Good to know you're still alive, buddy.

MeLange's health adjusted by +3

Hyacinth Jeffers's health adjusted by +3

Jericho: Sits up, gets up, and checks them over

GM: So after a full night's sleep

GM: Game Mechanic for Angelica, sleeping in a safe place gives you 3 HP overnight, sleeping on the road gives you 2 HP overnight

Ava Bosley: Gets up, kneels beside bed, and prays

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Thanks, Bob!

GM: The two Walking Wounded can do basic things, but cannot take more healing until tomorrow morning

mharmon1 (Jericho): Under care of a doctor,don't they get enhanced healing?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Let me verify

GM: So they can talk, walk, but not wield a weapon, cast spells, do most proficiency checks, etc

GM: Yes to Michael, ... tomorrow

mharmon1 (Jericho): Ah

mharmon1 (Jericho): Sounds good

GM: After going into negatives, a cure light brings them back to walking wounded, then 24 hours later they get more from what ever way you wish

mharmon1 (Jericho): Thank you for refresher :)

GM: and so in the morning, Hyancth goes off to the Temple and runs interference for the group

GM: as you go back to the farmhouse and gather what ever intel you can

Phatima Markin: Hello there

Jericho: Smiles

Jericho: good morning

Phatima Markin: Smiles

Phatima Markin: You came back

Vee Barlett: Mornin'! I heard you're grounded?

Phatima Markin: SIGHS

Phatima Markin: Yeah

Phatima Markin: Sucks

Vee Barlett: For how long?

Phatima Markin: Till I learn better

Levi Reed: It's not ok, we'll fight this injustice

Phatima Markin: Really?

Levi Reed: Well, I will

Vee Barlett: He's very anti-establishment.

Levi Reed: You were very brave and helped us save your pa!

Ava Bosley: *whispers* It's okay, Phatima. I was grounded for a full moon cycle when I forgot to latch the pig's pen

Phatima Markin: OH WOW

Levi Reed: Bravery and concern for family are good qualities, they shouldn't be punished!

Ava Bosley: Levi! Leave her be.

Levi Reed: What, no!

Ava Bosley: We must respect her family's wishes.

Levi Reed: And have her grow up thinking she should just look the other way any time someone is in trouble?

Jericho: Suit yourself, family sucks

Jericho: mutters

Jericho: quietly

Levi Reed: What kind of world would it be if we all acted like that!?

Ava Bosley: Would you enjoy it if I set your sword against you?

Vee Barlett: When my dads tried to ground me, I snuck on a ship and left for a week....

Levi Reed: points to Vee

Ava Bosley: It's the same as trying to set their daughter against them.

Jericho: You would

Vee Barlett: grins

Levi Reed: See!? This is what happens when you punish someone for something they shouldn't be punished for!

Levi Reed: You want her to turn out like Vee?

Jericho: I think there can be balance

Vee Barlett: I dunno, man. I mean, how long are you grounded for, kid?

Phatima Markin: Till I learn better

Jericho: Concerns for family is good, but we can hopefully lower your sentence to something more....manageable. I hate no firm timelines. Can't work with them

Vee Barlett: If my lil' bro did that, I'd probably have to step in and at least make him, I dunno, make breakfast or something to make up for me worrying.

Levi Reed: Ok, so just go tell them you've learned better

Jericho: Drives me batty

Ava Bosley: *sigh*

Levi Reed: Next time you'll get backup before going into danger

Jericho: Nods happily

Ava Bosley: I'm sure they will only "ground" her for the night. Her father is back. The whole thing will be soon forgotten

Levi Reed: Problem solved

Jericho: Yes, that' satisifes the bargain

Vee Barlett: But yeah, gotta match the crime! Makign your mom worry? I can see that upsetting her, but to ground you forever? Unforgivable.

Jericho: She learned better

Jericho: Wordplay is important

Jericho: I'm impressed Levi

Levi Reed: You just call us if you need help again then you don't have to endanger yourself AND you'll've helped save whoever needs savin

Jericho: Grundingly

Levi Reed: Everyone goes home happy

Phatima Markin: You want to come in for Breakfast? Ma made me watch for you just in case

Phatima Markin: She made fritters

Jericho: Stomach rumbles

Levi Reed: Yum!

Levi Reed: I'm always up for a free meal

Ava Bosley: Yes, let's go eat. Thank you, Phatima

Jericho: Nods in appreciation

Jericho: Thank you

Vee Barlett: She did make us breakfast! Awesome!

Vee Barlett: I'll put a fe win my pocket for Melange. I didn't think he'd sleep in knowing there was breakfast...

Levi Reed: I heard he was having some... er... digestion problems

Jericho: Shakes head

Jericho: Yeah, that's what we'll call it

GM: and pausing here just for a moment

GM: I forgot to go over the Morning resets

GM: I did the healing on my side

GM: but Carissa can you please help Angelica and Michael with resetting spells for the morning

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oh, ok. I thought you were about to stop because of the digestion issues, and I was like, nope, that's cannon

Jericho: hehe

mharmon1 (Jericho): hehe

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Just... you're back to your normal amount

GM: and Laughs, yes it is.... Melange has digestive issues like a cannon

mharmon1 (Jericho): Don't we just keep track in head?

mharmon1 (Jericho): I thought she meant Cannon as in actualy story, not fan fiction

seyfert (Vee Barlett): That's how I did it... but not sure if Bob wants y'all to start marking on the sheet. And if so, I cannot help here.

mharmon1 (Jericho): I have a chart, but if we need it done otherwise

mharmon1 (Jericho): I can

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I think you just... unclick those circles or something

GM: However it works best for you,

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Hard to help when i don't have spells to see what you see

GM: Knowing how many spells you get at each level, how many you have cast each day etc

seyfert (Vee Barlett): And actually, don't use your head

mharmon1 (Jericho): No worries. We can try keeping track first, and if it gets too confusing we can switch

GM: will be a key thing next story arc that extends over several days

seyfert (Vee Barlett): At least put it on your notes on your sheet

mharmon1 (Jericho): Right

GM: Yes agreed with Carissa

seyfert (Vee Barlett): The Notes section of Notes tab at minimum

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Otherwise learn how to use the bubbles

GM: Angelica do you know how many first level spells you get?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): You'll lose track if you don't write it down, and it's best to write it down IN GAME where it can't be lost

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Three!

mharmon1 (Jericho): Sure, I can count off for each spell. I'll put (3/4) or something to represent I have three left

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): I believe... but it didn't subtract anything as far as i know

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I think it's best to write it in both, because sometimes I mess up the bubbles or would forget if it was a new day or whatever

seyfert (Vee Barlett): You sleep so you have all your spells again this morning

GM: Yes to Angelica

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But maybe other people are not as forgetful as me

GM: and yes to Lemon, keeping track is important no matter if you think you remember or not

GM: I keep the NPC ones in their notes

mharmon1 (Jericho): Okay. If it puts everyone at east, bob how can I do that in game through the mechanics. That way no one accidentally casting spells out the wazoo

GM: but I like the players to do what they like

GM: On your Actions Tab in the Power tab it shows you that you have X number of slots

mharmon1 (Jericho): Yep, so four slots

GM: but it only shows the slots for your level, not your bonus spells

mharmon1 (Jericho): One of which is checked

GM: Hmmm

GM: yes Jericho does show them correctly

GM: and Ava does not

GM: Hmmm

GM: BUT in any case Jerico has one checked and should not have any checked

mharmon1 (Jericho): And see that it a good thing to know. I was not aware (although more then likely you already told me) about bonus spells. Sigh

mharmon1 (Jericho): So how to uncheck?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Cleared it

mharmon1 (Jericho): Ok

mharmon1 (Jericho): right click, clear

mharmon1 (Jericho): All should be open again

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): see it

Ava Bosley: Taking long rest.

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): on my end

mharmon1 (Jericho): Excellent

GM: And now Ava is correct

mharmon1 (Jericho): So we got the "Clearing" down. And now we don't have to mentally keeep track

GM: three spells none used

GM: glad we fixed this

GM: and so now back to breakfast

Amara Markin: Welcome to our home

Jericho: It is an honor Ma'am

Vee Barlett: Mornin' Mrs. Markin! How's the mister?

Amara Markin: Thank you for saving him

Amara Markin: It was a horrible thing

Dishing out food in heaping bowls for you

Ava Bosley: Oh my! Our family must return the favor with all this food one day soon

Vee Barlett: Breakfast is really appreciated, m'am! I was looking forward to this. Maybe after we're done, we can talk to your husband?

Amara Markin: Smiles at Ava, the Bosley's have been friends of the town for as long as I have lived here

Jericho: And I'd love to look him over again, check to see how he is coming along

Amara Markin: Certainly he is just cleanign up now, and will be here to eat

Amara Markin: Phatima go fetch your Pa

User is back. (springdew)

Amara Markin: It is very kind of you to visit and look after him again

Jericho: Nods gravely. "I get uncomfortable when i can't check up and see how they are doing"

Jericho: Thank you

Farmer Malkin : Coughs

Jericho: Stands up "Farmer Malkin, good morning. How are you feeling?"

Farmer Malkin : I am alive, thanks to you all

Vee Barlett: Happy to help, sir!

Vee Barlett: We got some questions, but you should eat first.

Farmer Malkin : How did you happen by?

Farmer Malkin : Sits at the table and takes up his mug

Farmer Malkin : Drinks deeply, and then tucks into his food

Vee Barlett: Brendin came and got us to help after hearing of the Chupacabra attack.

Jericho: We were tracking what we thought was a Chupacrabra. Someone said someone had been kidnapped and we thought that was you

Jericho: Sorry Vee

Jericho: Smiles wryly

Jericho: Smiles wryly

Levi Reed: And your daughter showed us the cave you were in. Might've got there too late if it wasn't for her!

Vee Barlett: Eh, well, he got Jericho, technically, but he needed a bit o' help. Weak stomach and all.

Vee Barlett: winks at Jericho

Jericho: Nods. "She was incredibly brave and we made herpromise that she will get help for now on"

Farmer Malkin : (mouth full) nodding along listening

Jericho: A corner of his mouth quirks up at Vee's comment, but keeps his gaze on Malkin

Farmer Malkin : It was good for Bredin to fetch help

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (dang it, it WAS Bredin, I thought I added an extra N)

Levi Reed: She was very smart... kept herself out of danger but kept close enough to show us where to find you when we got there

Farmer Malkin : I was worried when I head that Phatima tried to come after me

Jericho: How did you hear that?

Jericho: Confused

Levi Reed: Probably his wife

Farmer Malkin : She is brave, maybe more than she should be

Levi Reed: rolls eyes

Jericho: Nods

Levi Reed: Nah, she knew when to hide, too. Very smart kid you got there

Jericho: People like her make the world a better place

Jericho: Smiles warmly

Farmer Malkin : Hmmm

Farmer Malkin : (filling his stomach up)

Farmer Malkin : Did you catch them?

Levi Reed: This might be the most delcious meal I've ever eaten, Mrs. Malkin

Vee Barlett: We found some goblins and zombies, but not whoever made them. You know who it was?

Vee Barlett: Was it even goblins that took you or a person?

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: We are at a loss ourselves on where to go from here

Jericho: Mostly glad we got to you alive

Amara Markin: Zombies!!!! You did not tell me that! And our daughter was caught up in that evil!

Vee Barlett: A loss? Nah, we just want a more solid lead.

Levi Reed: Nah, she didn't get anywhere close to the zombies

Vee Barlett: Nah, m'am. Those were DEEPER in the cave. She didn't go in.

Jericho: Fair enough

Farmer Malkin : Those must be the groans I heard when they put that bag over my head

Farmer Malkin : That tall shape came up from behind

Jericho: They?

Levi Reed: Heck, most of US didn't even get anywhere close to the zombies

Vee Barlett: But the zombies didn't touch you. Why?

Farmer Malkin : Hit me over the head, and I woke up when my head was jolting over the ground

Levi Reed: They were probably saving him for the chupacabra

Vee Barlett: Hmm so it was a person... bet he's messin' with magic he shouldn't be

Ava Bosley: Did you hear any voices when you woke up?

Farmer Malkin : It was like lots of little hands over me

Vee Barlett: Did he say anything?

Farmer Malkin : I remember the dirt, then the cave and water

Farmer Malkin : but they had me tied up

Farmer Malkin : there was chanting or something

Farmer Malkin : and then lots of yelling

Farmer Malkin : and then lights

Farmer Malkin : I guess that was you

Ava Bosley: Do you remember smelling anything?

Farmer Malkin : Hmmm

Levi Reed: Chanting? That sounds creepy

Farmer Malkin : dirt, water, nothing that I remember, why?

Farmer Malkin : some gibberish I did not understand

Levi Reed: Isn't it always?

Ava Bosley: You know this area as well as anyone in the Church. Maybe if you smelled a meal made with a type of crop or even cow pies - maybe we could see if it was anyone in the area?

Levi Reed: Crazy magic types

Vee Barlett: That shadow you saw Ava... was it person shaped?

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Would i know if it was person shaped

GM: Yes at least the size of a grown man but hard to make out details

Ava Bosley: It seemed to be a man... but I couldn't make him out. He was covered by the shadows

Jericho: Frowns

Jericho: Does anyone have any myths or stories about this?

Amara Markin: How can the church let an evil like zombies loose in our lands!

Jericho: I would imagine that is why we are here Ma'am

Vee Barlett: Well, we gotta go back, yeah? Need to burn the bodies if there's still there, see if we see people prints.

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: Has anoyone else gone missing?

Jericho: By any chance?

Jericho: We want to help as many as we can if they have

Amara Markin: What! Phatima! Get your sisters and brothers, they are saying there are more of them!

Amara Markin: GO

Amara Markin: Go hide in the barn

Jericho: I'm sorry, what?

Amara Markin: You said others might be missing

Vee Barlett: Nah, mate. She's asking if anyone else has been attacked by the chupacabra.

Jericho: No, I asked if anyone HAD gone missing. If they have, we would like to beo n the lookout for them, like your Husband

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *he

seyfert (Vee Barlett): thought it was ava

Amara Markin: I do not know, I would hope not

mharmon1 (Jericho): Eh, Vee probably thinks Jericho isa girl anyways. He'll ignore it

Amara Markin: It was horrible enogh

mharmon1 (Jericho): :)

Jericho: Nods

mharmon1 (Jericho): Looks at Vee helplessly, as if conveying he has no idea what else to ask these people.

The time is 10:26 AM

Jericho: Looks at Vee helplessly, as if conveying he has no idea what else to ask these people.

Levi Reed: How are you feeling Mrs. Markin? Have a cup of tea

Levi Reed: You've been through a lot, you could probably use a little relaxation

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sorry cat

Amara Markin: Thank you

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Her anxiety is giving ME anxiety

Vee Barlett: Any other gossips or rumors about in the area?

Amara Markin: Nothing that I have heard, we are all good simple farmers here

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): lolz to Lemon

mharmon1 (Jericho): So, we are all around the age of 16, bumbling around not knowing the questions to ask. I guess we just...I don't know...go back up there and look around some more. I got nothing else

Vee Barlett: No sheep missing? Or messed up crops?

springdew (Ratbone Carder): WWSD - What would Shaggy do?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Let me go get scooby and we're all set

mharmon1 (Jericho): LOL

Amara Markin: We do not have any sheep, the sugar cane is all good

mharmon1 (Jericho): Same time haha

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Even the smallest detail could help us make sure this never happens again

Levi Reed: Even the smallest detail could help us make sure this never happens again

Vee Barlett: And your neighbor's sheep?

Levi Reed: Don't be afraid to tell us something even if it seems silly, or you're worried it's not true

Vee Barlett: Or weird neighbors acting... weirder? Visitors you didn't know besides us coming by?

Farmer Malkin : Nothign like this has ever happened around here

mharmon1 (Jericho): Feel like this is Westworld "It doesn't look like anything to me...."

Ava Bosley: Jericho! I have just had a thought

Jericho: Jerks

Vee Barlett: Nothing? But apparently chupacabras are known?

Farmer Malkin : Belches

Jericho: What?

Ava Bosley: Could we use our Spectral Senses to see if there are Zombies in the area?

Jericho: Shrugs

Ava Bosley: M-maybe we could get more clues that way?

Jericho: we can certainly try

Farmer Malkin : Zombies here?

Jericho: Can't hurt

Amara Markin: WHAT!

Ava Bosley: One of us could try here... one could try closer to the cave?

Jericho: Well, if nothing else is apparant, we'll need to make sure you are still safe right?

Levi Reed: I mean, it's unlikely, but if there WERE zombies here, wouldn't you want to know, so we could get rid of em for you?

Jericho: We need answers for the church

Ava Bosley: Levi's right

Jericho: We can't get them by doing nothing

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): jinx with Jericho!

Amara Markin: How could that evil be here in our home!

Levi Reed: Extremely unlikely ma'am

Levi Reed: We just want to make sure your family is safe from that evil

Ratbone Carder: (singing softly) don't don't panic, my dear, my dear

Jericho: Well, how could anything that nothing has ever happened here before happen? It's fate and we should ensure your safety best we can

Ratbone Carder: don't don't panic, no need yet to fear

Vee Barlett: Are there other caves nearby?

Ava Bosley: Mrs. Markin, we just want to be completely sure. Nothing quite like this has happened here before

Jericho: I'm fine with her panicking

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'm fine with her panicking

mharmon1 (Jericho): OOC

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): XD

Ratbone Carder: don't don't panic, now we are here. be calm, be calm, no need to fear

mharmon1 (Jericho): Seriously, they are acting way to blase for being hit over the head and acting like breakfast is just a fact of life

mharmon1 (Jericho): my god

Farmer Malkin : There are caves in the hills, mostly animals use them, sometimes people hiding from their parents, glances over at his wife, but they are up and out of the way from us

mharmon1 (Jericho): these people are screwed

Ava Bosley: Hiding from their parents?

Ratbone Carder: (singing softly) still, still, take it seriously

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Um, breakfast IS just a fact of life?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): You gotta eat

Ratbone Carder: still, still, we may yet need to flee

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): and second breakfast is the american dream

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But no, this lady is stressed AF, can we please calm her down

mharmon1 (Jericho): (yeah, but you can eat...you know...away from where you were attacked, kidnapped, and had zombies surrounding you)

Ratbone Carder: still, still, please listen to me, be calm, don't panic, but take it serious-leeeee

Farmer Malkin : When I was a youngster, I would... make my self scarce when certain chores were due

Phatima Markin: Quietly listening in the corner

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): She's seriously activating my RL anxiety with how freaked out she is about every little stupid thing we say. She reminds me of my mom.

Farmer Malkin : So there are some caves up there

springdew (Ratbone Carder): same Lemon

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It's their HOUSE Michael. Where should they go for breakfast???

mharmon1 (Jericho): So, if we need to hit the Caution button we can do that. Even I'm getting really frustrated and I'm trained to deal with this stuff

Farmer Malkin : But we do not go there

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It's their home AND their livlihood

seyfert (Vee Barlett): so we finish breakfast and go explore the cave for clues

Ava Bosley: Why not there?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Well, if someone hit me over the head, literally anywhere else, especially knowing my daughter would risk her life

mharmon1 (Jericho): A home is replacable, my family is not

Vee Barlett: Mm, this is a fantastic breakfast.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Sure, ok, but also you're not a medieval farmer who lives in a land of magic...

Farmer Malkin : No need to go hide from chores, it DOES NOT HELP

mharmon1 (Jericho): Well, fair enough

Jericho: Raises eyebrows

Vee Barlett: So zombies aside, what's the gossip? Small town like this. Who's cheating on who? Or whom? Who ranaway from home? Any fun stories?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): And you can do your job from anywhere

mharmon1 (Jericho): Whoa there. For 8 years I worked two full time jobs and worked my way into a position where I could work remotely. Pain point there

Farmer Malkin : Young Ava here is now a priestess in the church,

Ratbone Carder: continues strumming softly on the lute, calming music

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ok but if you had to move, you would have found NEW jobs

Vee Barlett: Yeah! She throws a mean punch1 Well, attempt.

Farmer Malkin : That was big news around these parts

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Probably harder for a medieval farmer to pick up and move

Farmer Malkin : Really now

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Their whole job is literally the land they own

Ava Bosley: blushes

Vee Barlett: Some lowlifes at the tavern tried to lay hands on her. you know how it goes.

mharmon1 (Jericho): Ok

Ava Bosley: And I am proud to be

Phatima Markin: Cooool

Ava Bosley: We delt with it appropriately

Amara Markin: Frowns slightly

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): i hope i spelled that right but doubt iiiiiit

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm not trying to minimize your RL accomplishments and hardships... I'm just saying I don't think there's a comparison to this pretend farmer

Vee Barlett: What's else is going on? Anyone sneaking out at midnight? Collecting candles? Teenage rebellions? Or maybe some grump church member muttering under their breath more than usual?

Farmer Malkin : I have been here at home working

mharmon1 (Jericho): Frankly, i wouldn't know. I don't know how farmers are, so would be unable to give an accurate answer. it's just not worth the debate because I can't give an informed opinion.

Farmer Malkin : getting ready for harvest time

Vee Barlett: Everyone having a good harvest this year?

Farmer Malkin : Seems to be

Farmer Malkin : They are getting the masher ready

Vee Barlett: Anyone else become a priest recently?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I grew up in the midwest, and I knew a few people who, even in the modern world, would rather die than abandon their land

Shrugs

Vee Barlett: drums her fingers on the table

Ava Bosley: Did anything differently happen this season? Or on the day the ... zombies, came?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean, I would think that's not the norm

Phatima Markin: Georgie kissed Francois

Vee Barlett: Hmm, y'all really focused on your harvest and not your neighbors, eh? Maybe my dads are just more into gossip.

mharmon1 (Jericho): There you go. You have a better answer, so we can go with that. Do we even know if they own this land?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ooooh, this is a good question!

Phatima Markin: She was blushing so much

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ask them!

Ava Bosley: hides a laugh

Vee Barlett: I hope she wanted that kiss!

mharmon1 (Jericho): Because again, not middle ages, but if I don't own the land, I could give two dung heaps if I left

Phatima Markin: That is the only thing I can remember

Vee Barlett: Hear anything else interesting, kiddo?

Jericho: Farmer Markin, how long has your family lived here? You own this land?

Vee Barlett: Or see anyone hanging around home more than normal lately?

Vee Barlett: (I bet the church does)

Farmer Malkin : We have farmed this land for our whole lives, my grandfather's father

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

Farmer Malkin : The Bosely's too

Farmer Malkin : Though they have a closer relationship with the Temple

Ava Bosley: And we haven't noticed anything out of our normal season either

Vee Barlett: All y'all farmers have a Temple relationship?

Farmer Malkin : I am hoping that Phatima gets chosen

Vee Barlett: Chosen?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, if the church owns it, then I absolutely 100% chance my stance and agree with Michael. They should be hiding in the church demanding safer jobs

seyfert (Vee Barlett): \LOL yeah good luck with that

Farmer Malkin : She is brave, she can track things, she might be chosen to be an investigator when she is older

Vee Barlett: What happens when you aren't chosen?

Ava Bosley: I think she has the spirit for it!

Farmer Malkin : You raise a family

Levi Reed: Jericho here could take her on as an apprentice when she gets older!

Farmer Malkin : and hope your children get chosen

Ava Bosley: But wait... that reminds me. Phatima, can you help me check the wather outside?

Vee Barlett: Anyone ever hold a grudge about it that you know of? That wasn't chosen but wanted to be?

Ava Bosley: weather*

Phatima Markin: Phatima comes with Ava

Ava Bosley: taking in the morning breeze

Ava Bosley: it's quite nice out here, don't you think?

Amara Markin: I have a grudge against Theolona, she just will not stop with the bragging about her little Welper, he is cute and all but really now do we need to hear about him every day!

Levi Reed: Is that her sheep?

Phatima Markin: Smiles, it is a nice day today, but it will rain later

Ava Bosley: I think you're right! You are so good at observing things. It makes me wonder, did you notice anyting or anyone when you followed your father to that cave?

Amara Markin: Welper is her son, he is 3, and already can help around the farm moving things,

Ava Bosley: Maybe something you don't want your mother to know... I'd understand not wanting your mother to worry

Phatima Markin: I was just tryign to track my Pa

User is back. (springdew)

Phatima Markin: Who took him, where

Phatima Markin: I thought the men in the woods were going to punish him

Levi Reed: Maybe give Theolona a taste of her own medicine... you can for sure brag plenty about Phatima

Ava Bosley: What men in the woods?

Ava Bosley: smiles

Phatima Markin: The ones that wanted Pa to give him some of his sugar cane squeezings

Ava Bosley: and why would anyone ever punish your pa

Ava Bosley: They asked for that?

Phatima Markin: They want to get some of his, and he will not give it to them

User has gone AFK. (seyfert)

Levi Reed: Phatima is smart as a whip, strong, saved her pa... heck, depending on what the source of this trouble is, she might have just saved the whole damn town!

Ava Bosley: Do you remember what the mens looked like?

-> Ava Bosley: Ava would know that is trying to get around the Church Tithing

Ava Bosley: oh! thank you!

mharmon1 (Jericho): I am so confused on where this is going lol

Phatima Markin: No, I have never seen them, just heard about them when Pa talks at night when he thinks I am asleep

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I think the church is corrupt

Ava Bosley: So the men who asked for the sugar are the ones who took him?

Phatima Markin: No the caves are a different way

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): ditto - time for a new life pathe lol

Phatima Markin: and there were lots of little feet

Ratbone Carder: like children?

mharmon1 (Jericho): I think every chuch has it's unsavory elements. Never heard of one that didn't as unfortuante as it is.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm fine with going back to the cave, but if it doesn't open up after that initial narrow passage, I'm going to be so cranky

Ava Bosley: Do you know what your Pa said to the men when he thought you were asleep. Were they very angry? Did they say mean things?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Sure but if they've got zombie stuff going on, that's a bit more corrupt than I'm willing to put up with

mharmon1 (Jericho): I would just a love a straight up. Yeah, I pissed off this guy and he threated to zombify me if I didn't give him a bribe. Oh, by the way, his lair is a hop skip and a throw to the right. Where that flas is in fact. Have at em boys and girls.

Phatima Markin: I think they were not happy but I did not hear any bad words

Ava Bosley: That's good. We shouldn't use the bad words. What about those feet... did they look like children?

Phatima Markin: Shrugs, small like kids yeah

Phatima Markin: But not really like kids

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm just letting Angelica have at it now... she seems to be smarter than me lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): And DEFINITELY smarter than Levi

GM: And Ava is outside where the rest of you are finishing breakfast

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): idk what else to do XXXD I'm brining this back inside soon

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Nah, you're doing good

Ava Bosley: Did they look like something else?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): You got more information than any of us did

Phatima Markin: I did not see them

mharmon1 (Jericho): (So small feet. Goblins right? If we had to guess?)

Phatima Markin: only the footprints

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): let's see if it's actually useful

Ava Bosley: hmmm, that's interesting Phatima

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Are goblins smart enough to do their own undead magic stuff?

Ava Bosley: Did I ever tell you how smart you are?

Phatima Markin: Smiles, Thank you

Ava Bosley: Let's go back inside and tell her what you thought of the weather

GM: Everyone is inside now, finishing up breakfast

Ava Bosley: Your mother, that is

Amara Markin: No you are goign to take the mornign off

Amara Markin: you need to rest

Amara Markin: you can go check on the harvest this afternoon

Farmer Malkin : Grumbles

Farmer Malkin : I will go work in the barn, make sure everything is sharp and ready

Levi Reed: watches Jericho to see if he's also going to sentence the patient to bedrest

Ava Bosley: Mr. Malkin, I can join you!

Ava Bosley: *coughs*

Farmer Malkin : Nah Ava no reason for you to get dirty

Ava Bosley: Jericho too

Ava Bosley: I am familiar with it. It will be no trouble

mharmon1 (Jericho): Nods. "I do want to ensure you still don't have any injuries"

Jericho: Nods. "I do want to ensure you still don't have any injuries"

Levi Reed: Maybe they can put some kind of blessing to keep zombies away

Jericho: I can certainly lay a blessing on this home

GM: Goes out to the barn with Jericho and Ava

Jericho: With Ava of course

Levi Reed: So, Mrs. Malkin. How did you meet Mr. Malkin?

Ava Bosley: You know what the church says, two blessings are better than one

Amara Markin: He was quite the charmer

Ava Bosley: laughs at own bad joke

Amara Markin: My father did not like him, said he wasn't worth a lick

Farmer Malkin : Opens the barn doors,

Levi Reed: Fathers never do. I mean, surely you don't think anyone is good enough for your Phatima?

Farmer Malkin : letting the sun in and takes down the sythes lays them out to sharpen them

Amara Markin: Oh I hope we do not worry about that for a long time

Ava Bosley: So, Mr. Malkin... I don't know about you, but for our family, the tithes have been difficult to fulfill lately

Jericho: Nods

Farmer Malkin : Sorry I did not know that, do they need help?

Levi Reed: Oh, of course not. But I'm sure when the time comes, no one will be good enough for such a girl.

Farmer Malkin : I can gather up some others and help them harvest if they need

Jericho: Yes Ava, why have you not said this before

Jericho: obvious concern

Ava Bosley: Yes, at times the Church makes house visitations at night

Ava Bosley: Have you not experienced this,, Mr. Malkin?

Farmer Malkin : Not at all

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): daaaaang

Farmer Malkin : But your family is closer to the Temple

Farmer Malkin : You were destined for the Church

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): can I use any local history to get him to trust me and tell me the truth?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm sorry, you have to give to the church even if you work for them?

Farmer Malkin : Our family has not been so blessed since my uncle olof

Ava Bosley: Ah, yes. Olof was a blessing. He has done much for the Church

Ava Bosley: I am sure Phatima will follow in his footsteps

GM: Look for the section on Tithing Lemon

GM: (LINK)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Maybe try the same tactic as you did with the kid... anything you don't want to worry the family with, sir?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ugh, but that would be more than the bare minimum, and I've already discussed my stance on that

Farmer Malkin : Oh I know Phatima does not have that blessing, but she might be a good Investigator one day if she is chosen

'Shislif' connected

GM: Welcome Sharif

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Hi Sharif!

springdew (Ratbone Carder): Hi Sharif!

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ah, just in time to clean up the breakfast scraps

Ava Bosley: whispers

Ava Bosley: As I am closer to the Church - I know the stresses of things and how you may not want to pass those stresses on your family

Shislif: hi everyone happy friday :)

Ava Bosley: Have there been any instances late that you do not want to concern your family with - as you know the things you tell us are between us and the Goddess

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): lieeeees

GM: Lemon will catch you up Sharif, y ou are in the farm house with Levi finishign breakfast

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): happy friday, Sharif!

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Sometimes you just have to lie to protect the entire island from zombies, this is normal and fine

Jericho: She is quite smart for her age. I am most impressed. If she ever wants to consider healing or veterinary skills, or potion making, she would be an amazing asset to your family

Shislif: Cool thanks Lemon!

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Um, yeah. We are in the farmhouse finishing up breakfast.

Farmer Malkin : Amara is a good woman, I have been happy

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): You missed breakfast. You had digestion issues

Farmer Malkin : Nothing has gone wrong around here,

Farmer Malkin : nothing strange either

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Wife and kid are in here with us, farmer is out in the barn getting interrogated by the priests

Farmer Malkin : which is why this whole Chubacabra thing is sto strange

Shislif: Levi has a wife and kids?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Hahaha, god no

Ava Bosley: No men visiting late at night? This is something I have heard as a concern

Shislif: lol

Farmer Malkin : I have never heard of such a think in these parts, sure up in the mountains but not around here

Shislif: MeLange wife and kids?

Shislif: he asked warily...

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): nooooooo why wont he saaaaaay

Farmer Malkin : Oh there are always the odd person on the fringe of the town,

Farmer Malkin : But that is not unusual

Ava Bosley: Oh! Like that one person! What was their name again?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Maybe ask if he knows who the town busybody is? Someone who would have the gossip?

Shislif (MeLange): like a hairdresser or barber?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah. Or an old lady with nothing better to do

Ava Bosley: i'll do that - do you think detect magic would be a waste? see if he's being influenced?

Farmer Malkin : I don't know, there is a camp out in the woods I heard, but I have no need for their activities

Ava Bosley: i'll do that - do you think detect magic would be a waste? see if he's being influenced?

Farmer Malkin : and they will be moving on soon enough

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, we almost ran into that camp

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): nooo I said it in dialogue

mharmon1 (Jericho): I can cast, Bob is it really obvious if I cast detect magic?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): No idea about detect magic, that's a question for someone who knows how to play this game

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Can I cast detect magic of Farmer Malkin?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Or you can LOL

GM: If you have that spell you can cast it, there is a chance he can tell you are casting on him, and if there is a save he has a better chance of detecting it

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): lol did you already

Ava Bosley: Mr. Malkin, I have a suspition. About a deeper wound on you. May I cast and see if you are afflicted?

Farmer Malkin : If you think it then yes please

Farmer Malkin : I can't be sick

Shislif (MeLange): did you change the website?

Ava Bosley: Ava Bosley tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

Farmer Malkin : Harvest is coming

Ava Bosley: Ava Bosley cast a spell NOT memorized.

Ava Bosley: [CAST] Detect Magic [at Farmer Malkin]

GM: Slight change in the URL Sharif,

GM: Someone will get a link

'Master TMO' connected

Shislif (MeLange): oh ok thx, yea the site was all a white background I was like huh

GM: Welcome TMO

Shislif (MeLange): Welcome!

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Carissa is afk, she's the link person

Master TMO: so sorry to be so late

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Farmer and his wife won't give up any gossip

MeLange: what's for breakfast?

Master TMO: have we tried slapping them around yet?

Shislif (MeLange): lol

GM: Anything else for questioning before you go head back to the cave for investigating there?

springdew (Ratbone Carder): i got nothing

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): i suppose not lol

Levi Reed: Might be a couple fritters left, but mostly you missed it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (sorry pulled a muscle and it didn't like how I was sitting)

Jericho: Anything said to Ava tha tmiht give a clue?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Anything said to Ava tha tmiht give a clue?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Sigh. OCC

MeLange: Well I'll take a couple fritters over no fritters i suppose

MeLange: couldn't save any for me Levi?

Levi Reed: You sure your stomach can handle it?

Levi Reed: You were pretty sick last night

MeLange: Was I?

Vee Barlett: pulls some out of her pocket

Vee Barlett: I got you covered, Melange.

Vee Barlett: hands them over

GM: Ok so the group gathers up a few things and heads up the path into the hills, this is the time to compare notes on what you learned so far

MeLange: Thanks Vee!

GM: and what you want to do when you get to the caves

MeLange: See Levi, Vee actually cares about other people

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): As far as I can tell, we've learned nothing

Rothuss Carder: Hey there! Did you get anything out of them? Sorry, had to go see a guy about a thing.

'JtomTMO' connected

GM: Hey JTom

Levi Reed: Yeah, she hides it pretty good though

Vee Barlett: grins

Shislif (MeLange): hi JTom

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Hi Mini!

Rothuss Carder: winks at Ratbone.

springdew (Ratbone Carder): Hi JTom!

Ratbone Carder: strums a dramatic flourish

Levi Reed: I hope it was about how to remain conscious

GM: I think you got some good information

seyfert (Vee Barlett): after I left I bet

Rothuss Carder: Don't worry, sis, false alarm.

GM: and you can ask questions based on that info and or what you suspect or do not understand

Ratbone Carder: what, me worry? never!

Shislif (MeLange): Didn't MeLange just take like 3 hit points in the last fight? Why would he have been sick?

GM: Levi and Vee learned things

GM: Jericho and Ava learned things

seyfert (Vee Barlett): was I present?

Rothuss Carder: Man, I still got a headache from this last time. Not cool.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Lol, no, you were missing, so I said you had digestive troubles

mharmon1 (Jericho): One sec. Just thinking

Shislif (MeLange): ohhhh ok lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Wait did I?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Hmmmm, nope

GM: Vee and Levi were talking with the wife and the kid

GM: Ava talked with the kid also

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I learned that lady markin's dad didn't like mr markin when they were dating

GM: Ava and Jericho spoke with the farmer

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I assumed that was old hat though

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Not relevant

seyfert (Vee Barlett): We know it was a person involved but it just confirmed what we suspected

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Otherwise it was just the wife having a panic attack for an entire morning

GM: True, in regards to the zombies though?

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): brb

User has gone AFK. (Lycanangel)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): She is totally freaked out by the idea

Shislif (MeLange): what did we suspect?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): that it's some person who is likely making the zombies and kidnapped markin

GM: and how do zombies happen?

GM: There you go

Shislif (MeLange): ah makes sense

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): biowarfare

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): in the Caribbean, voodoo

Shislif (MeLange): harsh

mharmon1 (Jericho): Resident Evil Village

mharmon1 (Jericho): So kill him, make zombies. gotcha

mharmon1 (Jericho): But what did "GM AND AVA" are shipsering say? I didn't see that

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): The power of voodoo?

Jericho: So Ava, did you get anything? I couldn't tell

GM: Angelica can reveal that when she is back

GM: Who do?

mharmon1 (Jericho): OH! Sorry

mharmon1 (Jericho): No BOB

mharmon1 (Jericho): :D

GM: You do

mharmon1 (Jericho): The Voodoo that You do!

Shislif (MeLange): the voodoo that you do :)

Shislif (MeLange): lol

mharmon1 (Jericho): Danm it, you got me

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Do what?

GM: The power of Voodoo,

GM: Who do

GM: You do

GM: Remind me of the babe

mharmon1 (Jericho): Where's the link

mharmon1 (Jericho): lol

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'll find it

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I SAW MY BABY

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): CRYING HARD AS BABES COULD CRYYYYY

springdew (Ratbone Carder): :0D

GM: What could I do

User is back. (Lycanangel)

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): back

GM: But yes to continuing the story now that Angelica is back and ...

Jericho: (LINK)

Shislif (MeLange): is 10hp my max hp?

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): uhm..... i think i got that that church may be involved some how - but it's being denied - also small feet

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): must be nice to have 10. :P

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (you are probably missing the overnight healing)

Shislif (MeLange): lol

GM: Sarah: Give me the child. Jareth: Sarah, beware. I have been generous, up until now. But I can be cruel. Sarah: Generous? What have you done that's generous? Jareth: Everything! Everything that you wanted, I have done! You asked that the child be taken - I took him. You cowered before me - I was frightening. I have reordered time, I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous? Sarah: Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered... I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the goblin city... For my will is as strong as yours... and my kin- Jareth: Stop! Wait. Look, Sarah, look what I'm offering. Your dreams... Sarah: And my kingdom as great... Jareth: I ask for so little. Just let me rule you, and you can have everything that you want. Sarah: Kingdom as great... damn... I can never remember that line. Jareth: Just fear me, love me, do as I say, and I will be your slave! Sarah: My kingdom as great... my kingdom as great... You have no power over me! ...You have no power over me.

GM: Yes to MeLange being at 10 HP that is his max

seyfert (Vee Barlett): as a fighter? I thought it was 12

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): barbarians are 12, iirc

mharmon1 (Jericho): (So Ava heard more I think. She can reveal :) )

GM: also for Angelica, Ava would know that the Church would never allow such a thing, the Temple would avenge anyone who had a problem with undead

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): been a long time for me though, could be wrong edition

GM: Totally evil to create undead

GM: 1d10 for fighters, 1d12 for rangers

Shislif (MeLange): oh ok cool

Shislif (MeLange): thx

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): ok

seyfert (Vee Barlett): so we're confirming what we guessed end of last session

GM: and Michael, Jericho would know that too

GM: looking at the requrirements for the various gods,

GM: Dimere, the goddess this Temple is dedicated to is Lawful Good

GM: so no to exploiting, creating undead, etc

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): will do a quick memory check for anything Rothuss might recall hearing about zombies. He did one a few sessions ago for goblins.

GM: They follow all the rules of the Religion, etc but this Temple is dedicated to a LG Goddess

Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 13]

GM: Rothuss would know that only a Necromancer (Mage) would create zombies, and yes the jungle voodoo priest/witch doctor might

Jericho: I think the church is innocent

Shislif (MeLange): although I will say that a fighter would clearly have more health than a ranger, generally speaking, in a realistic fantasy world :)

Jericho: The powers would know if there was corruption

Jericho: They couldn't

GM: Sharif it is also a bonus for Constituion

GM: For the two of them

Vee Barlett: Powers corrupt.

Rothuss Carder: I'd be kinda surprised if you thought the church was involved.

GM: why Vee and Levi have 12

Shislif (MeLange): ahh ok

Shislif (MeLange): one day I will get the hang of this stuff :)

Jericho: Power may corrupt, but that much corruption would twist the fabric of reality before a god let that stand

Vee Barlett: You keep thinkin' that, mate.

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: I will

Vee Barlett: But you're wrong.

Jericho: Shrugs

Jericho: I'm not saying Power doesnt' corrupt

Jericho: Only that for a light priest/prietess to do that would likey be dead long before they twisted that much

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely

Vee Barlett: Not all your gods hate undead. Or maybe they're willing to accept them if it gets them to a certain goal. No one said they are lawful. Just... have goals and different ways to get to them.

Jericho: I have been known to be wrong before, I just am unsure that is the right path to investigate at this time

GM: This is a good point in that Vee and Jericho are both right, the Religion has Dieties that would create undead, the Church (The Temple of Orange Sunsets) would not allow such a thing to happen if they knew about it,

Levi Reed: Maybe they came here from somewhere else

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): couldn't tell you until I tried it out for myself, Lemon. That's the scientific method. ;)

Levi Reed: Not part of our church

Lirtimya: I say we should check anyways, being thorough is a good idea

Jericho: Ofcourse

Vee Barlett: Thinkin' a church can't do wrong is a great way for them to be blind to it, willful or not.

Jericho: There is nothing wrong with being certain, just that I don't know if it's possible

The time is 10:56 AM

The time is 11:56 AM

Image: Hillside cave

Shislif (MeLange): brb refill

GM: And you arrive at the Caves again, this time in the daylight

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): will check to see if he's heard any tales of dark hidden church cults on the island

Jericho: Vee, a church is run by people. Don't judge a church by it's people, for they will always dissapoint you. Judge a church for the churches teachings

Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 15] [d20 = 1]

Vee Barlett: Teachings they relay on people to carry out.

Jericho: Voice hardens

Lirtimya: People can twist words into ways not intended

Jericho: Do you think so little of people like me? Who would heal those I hate even though I would love to not to?

Vee Barlett: Exactly, Lirth!

GM: 100% Rothuss has heard dark tales of evil things in the mountains and hills, the jungles are filled with danger, not all of them natural

Vee Barlett: Nah, you're making this personal. But I do think the church isn't as perfect as you priest think it is.

User has gone AFK. (springdew)

Jericho: I never said.it.was.perfect. I DID say, that I htink a corruption to that extent would be known if it was inside the church becuase I gaurantee we would detect evil long before it got to that point

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): any specific-sounding tales that might not be fairy tales?

Levi Reed: I mean, you would hope so, but I don't think there's any guarantees there buddy

GM: You are at the caves, how/what do you want to investigate,

Jericho: Look. I'm not going to outright say its impossible, jsut that it's unlikely.

Levi Reed: Someone could have run off to somewhere far away to hone their dark arts before returning

Jericho: I doubt they would make it past the wards

Jericho: grumbles

Vee Barlett: And I'm sayin' your full confidence is why they can get away with it. Thinkin' it's so unlikely means you won't look for it.

'Dru5232321' connected

GM: Rothus would know of tales of Mountain Men, short squat men who live in the mountains, rumored to have treasure but to eat men's bones

Jericho: I'm here aren't I?

GM: welcome Ryan

Levi Reed: That too, good point Vee

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): but none of it zombies or cults?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Sure but who believes Bard rumors? They're always telling tales

Vee Barlett: You're hear to heal a man from a chupacabra. That's all the church asked you to do.

Vee Barlett: You here now is what YOU want to do, not the church.

GM: I will mention that this Religion has a full organzation of Investigators

Jericho: I don't have to be part of a church to do what I think Locrin would want from me. I follow what he wants, even if it would be against church teachings. I just don't think that he would ever ask that of me

Jericho: I give you my word if that day ever happens, I'll let you know

Levi Reed: I'm going to tell you the same thing I told that uptight wife... Sure it's unlikely, but if it's happening, don't you want to know so you can stop it?

Jericho: For fucks sake. I"M HERE AREN"T I?

GM: Everyone here was raised with the Church around them, Jericho knows some, Ava knows more having been expected to be chosen for the Church

GM: and smiles

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): can i roll for some helpful info?

Vee Barlett: That's fine, but you ain't representing the church right now. You're representing Locrin. Two different things, mate. Sooner you realize, the nicer life will be.

GM: In a bit for Ava,

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah yeah yeah, Ava's the favorite child, we get it

GM: LOL with Lemon

Jericho: I always represent the church to the best of my ability, because it would be expected to stand for it's values.

Jericho: Look, this is a dumb arguement regardless. All you should care about is I'm goingn to heal you and make sure you keep stabby stabby

Jericho: Right?

GM: Levi and Vee will be shining in the next story arc, with Matthias

Levi Reed: Hey, you find some evil shit happening and expose it, you'll be a hero!

GM: DUN DUN DUN

Vee Barlett: points to Levi

GM: Lemon giving us foreshadowing

Jericho: I have no desire to be praised or be a hero or fame. i don't care about any of that

Assuming Matthias is alive, you mean. Bold assumption.

Jericho: You can have the fame. I just want to help people

Vee Barlett: Not pointless if we find out something the church wants to hide. Then ya gotta decide what matters more to you.

Jericho: Sighs

Dru5232321 (): Oh, I am someone else automatically?

Vee Barlett: But we gotta find it, yeah?

MeLange: what do you desire Jericho?

Levi Reed: You'll be a proud respresentive of the church who did their duty to the best of their ability

Levi Reed: How about that

User is back. (springdew)

Jericho: This is dumb. Let's go. I'm never afraid to admit when I'm wrong, I'm just not sure I'm wrong about this

Jericho: Shrugs

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 4]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 4]

GM: I see you Ryan

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: I've NEVER known someone this uptight, not even Lila when she decided to start taking over one of dad's boats.

GM: and Matthias is on the CT

seyfert (Vee Barlett): looking for new footprints, changes from the night before, all that.

GM: and on the map

springdew (Ratbone Carder): Hi Ryan!

Vee Barlett: But we gotta find it, yeah?

Shislif (MeLange): Hi Ryan

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Either we'll break him in OR he'll run from us. Like Lila does cause she doesn't like us hanging out together.

GM: Vee does her checks and does not find anything other than what looks to be scavengers tracks, rats, racoons, etc going in and out of the caves for the dead bodies

Dru5232321 (): Hello!

Vee Barlett: I don't see new tracks. Let's go inside, burn some bodies at least.

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: If he starts talking about bringing compasses and three copies of the same map, I'm out man.

Jericho: I can at least agree with that

Jericho: I brought a few torches this time

MeLange: racoons?

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Okay but if we ever hit the sea, you know that *I* will want that, yeah?

MeLange: [SKILL] Animal Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]

Shislif (MeLange): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Melange confuses raccoons with bandits

Dru5232321 (): Huh, not showing Matt on the character sheet. Not sure how to select him from the map or CT

Shislif (MeLange): he's trying!

Shislif (MeLange): :)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol it's appreciated

GM: Checking for you Ryan

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Hey, you can do whatever you want, as long as you're not expecting me to be as crazy as you

seyfert (Vee Barlett): he probably just didn't eat enough this morning to think clearly!

GM: Sorry for that Ryan you should see him now

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: As crazy as ME? I think you've already surpassed me there!

GM: I forgot to clear ownwership

Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: My crazy's different and you know it

Shislif (MeLange): good point lol

Dru5232321 (): I will never forgive this

GM: LOL

Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Different is a nice way of putting it.

GM: so caves

GM: you can talk it out or move through as you wish

MeLange: we going back in those caves?

Jericho: Yes

Jericho: But let's try to organize better

Jericho: Fighters in front at steady pace?

Jericho: Vee?

Jericho: Is that Okay?

GM: Remember that Levi and Rothuss are walking wounded so cannot do anything

Levi Reed: Why, your tummy still rumbly?

MeLange: don't forget light please

Jericho: I can hold two torches as high as I can

Rothuss Carder: If you don't mind, I won't lead this time.

Jericho: Since that is the good I can do

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Can I hold a torch?

Jericho: Although, I can help with Turn undead

Jericho: Or ava

GM: Yes to Lemon

Jericho: But I won't be much good for regular attacks

Jericho: I will need help

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (are you going to make us drag ourselves around?)

Jericho: I nominate Vee for leader

Vee Barlett: I want my hands free this time. Someone else hold the torch!

Levi Reed: I can carry a torch, but uh... still recovering my strength man

Jericho: Grumpily

GM: I said you can just talk through it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (was just going to ask if Levi can hold a torch)

Rothuss Carder: Who are you carrying a torch for?

GM: Or move

GM: up to the group

Levi Reed: Jericho

Levi Reed: winks

Jericho: Look

Rothuss Carder: Hey, no judgement. To each his own.

Jericho: Sighs

Vee Barlett: I'll take front with Mr. Sexy Back, here. That way you all can admire it.

MeLange: I'm behind Vee

Jericho: Vee, can I be up front with you, and carry a torch

MeLange: good to motivate the masses

Levi Reed: DOCTOR sexy back

Vee Barlett: dramatically sighs

Vee Barlett: I suppose.

Levi Reed: Oh, you mean MeLange

Jericho: I'd like to Turn them if necessary

Jericho: You can attack them

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Did Rothfuss and Levi never get healing?

GM: There are no zombies to turn

GM: All of them are dead

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We can't until tomorrow

Ratbone Carder: I can hang with the next-to-deads and guard them from the baddies.

Vee Barlett: Yeah, have you seen his back? Super sexy. The priest wears too much... robes? cloth? so I doubt it's sexy.

Jericho: Oh, I thought there might be more of them futher in

Jericho: I apologize

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We're too almost dead

Shislif (MeLange): can any of the holy people bless us or anything?

Vee Barlett: Let's drag the bodies into a pile outside to burn them.

mharmon1 (Jericho): And more dead there bob?

Jericho: I can do that

GM: Rothfuss and Levi got sleep and healed to walking wounded cannot take more until tomorrow, everyone else is at full HP

Jericho: I've handled dead corposes before, just never killed anyone

Levi Reed: You're right Vee. He does look a little... squishy

Vee Barlett: Unless you saw an opening in the ceiling, probably better outside.

GM: Vee has a good point

Vee Barlett: A little squish and pink. I don't think he sees the sun often.

Jericho: Rothfuss, Levi? You are still technically in my care. Could you please stay near the Entrance and take care of yourselves?

Levi Reed: This might be his first time

Jericho: Take it a little easy?

MeLange: so we're picking up bodies then?

Rothuss Carder: As you command!

Levi Reed: You know what would help me recover?

Levi Reed: A good stiff drink

Vee Barlett: Lirth! Twins! Want to start building a pyre?

MeLange: 2nd

Jericho: Yeah, I've given up there. But maybe when we get back yeah?

Ratbone Carder: hear hear!

Vee Barlett: Yeah, yeah, once we finish up here Gloria'll have drinks for us.

springdew (Ratbone Carder): (to a good stiff drink)

Jericho: Shudders

Vee Barlett: two finger salute to Ratbone

GM: Vee, MeLange, Ava, Jericho go into the caves

Vee Barlett: Thank ya, m'am.

Jericho: How do you drink that paint stripper

GM: the rest start building a pyre to burn the corpses

Jericho: Grumbles

Ratbone Carder: My brother cannot build a pyre and I have to guard him.

GM: is that right?

Ratbone Carder: And this other guy.

Matthias Crowtooth: grumbles at being left behind

Jericho: Snorts

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (Matty you outside or inside?)

Matthias Crowtooth: tosses down a branch and stalks off into the cave.

Matthias Crowtooth:

Vee Barlett: Yell if you need us! Watch out for shadows!

Matthias Crowtooth: tosses down a branch and stalks off into the cave

Matthias Crowtooth: Good luuuucckkkkk

Matthias Crowtooth: Wait for me!

Vee Barlett: Hurry up, Matty!

Matthias Crowtooth: Not all of us have horse legs like you do.

GM: So Lirtimya and Rathbone are building up the pile to burn the bodies

Matthias Crowtooth: I need to take more steps than you do.

Rothuss Carder: Hey, I don't know what his problem is. If he'd let me by back in the cave instead of just standing there in my way, I wouldn't have had to jump 'em and get knocked out.

Vee Barlett: You got the neck, just not the legs. Sorry, buddy.

Matthias Crowtooth: neighs in deadpan

Vee Barlett: laughs

GM: and I think that Matthias likes Vee's legs?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Who doesn't??

GM: Exactly

Jericho: Rubs Mint paste under his nose

Jericho: Hands some to Vee

Lirtimya: Let's build ourselves a pyre

seyfert (Vee Barlett): If Melange has the sexy back, she has flawless legs.

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Zombies loved them so much they came back for a second bite

Vee Barlett: looks confused

GM: So you go into the caves and drag out the dead goblins

Jericho: Shrugs

Jericho: Smells better then rot

Levi Reed: Who knows with that guy

MeLange: ooh, dead goblins do not smell great

Vee Barlett: Huh. I could barely smell anything, but mint is nice. Guess I'll try some. Thanks.

GM: Then you go back in deeper to get the dead zombie goblins

Matthias Crowtooth: Can't tell the difference between dead goblins and live ones, honestly

The time is 12:56 PM

Jericho: You know, I kinda agree with you Matt

GM: about an hour later you have all the bodies gathered up

MeLange: imagine a zombie goblin couple, happily married

Jericho: Gags

Jericho: I'd rather not thakns

MeLange: an interesting prospect

Jericho: I do believe Marriage is punishment enough, no need to make it into undeath too

Matthias Crowtooth: Is that what happened? Did we kill a happy zombie family that was just trying to get by?

Vee Barlett: Just moaning, "Brainsssss!" to each other as they look lovingly into their dead eyes?

Jericho: Frowns

MeLange: Oh no I doubt it Matthias

MeLange: why I said "imagine"

Jericho: Do...the dead speak? At least those who are not vampies?

Jericho: Confused

-> Ava Bosley: One thing for after you get back to the church you know the Investigator will want one or two people to speak not everyone, when they ask you questions about what happened

Vee Barlett: I'd prefer more out of a relationship, but who am I to judge?

MeLange laughs

Matthias Crowtooth: "Just one more brain and then we can retire, sweet Chutchut"

Jericho: Shudders

Vee Barlett: "Brainnnnnssssss"

Jericho: Would you stop that

Jericho: Creeping me out

Ava Bosley: Okay so it should be me an Jericho?

MeLange: hey it's their wedding vows!

Matthias Crowtooth: "Yes, indeed... my darling.... One more braaaaaiiiiinnnnn..."

Jericho: Rolls eyes

-> Ava Bosley: You get to decide you can pick any two

Jericho: Bitches in a whisper under his breath

Ava Bosley: ok, thank you

Jericho: and whines about crazy

MeLange: so what's next?

GM: and any other questions about the caves? goblins? zombie goblins?

Vee Barlett: makes a weird happy zombie groan noise

Jericho: A nice fire?

Jericho: I'd like to search the caves if possible

Rothuss Carder: I think if you pile that body on top of the other one, it'll burn better. You've got it off to one side.

GM: Burning making lots of smoke

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Are they too rotten for us to taxiderm them?

Vee Barlett: Go for it, bud.

Jericho: Gotta be some clue to I don't know, something

MeLange: you gonna investigate?

GM: What roll do you want to make to search the caves?

Vee Barlett: That'd be the shadow. If we can go look wherever Ava saw it, we'll probably find footprints.

Shislif (MeLange): Animal Lore?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Can I roll tumbling?

Jericho: Sigh. I'm not the best at this type of skill. Does anyone suit to searching caves?

GM: yes to Ryan

Jericho: or noticing finer details?

Shislif (MeLange): I'm gonna get real tired of animal lore, it's pretty much the only thing MeLange can do besides fight lol

Vee Barlett: Too bad Levi isn't steady. He could sperlunk the shit out of this place.

GM: That would be an Investigator

MeLange: Levi, always taking it easy

Ratbone Carder: (singing) OH!we are having a roast. a roasty toasty roast

Matthias Crowtooth: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 25) [FAILURE by 55] [d100 = 80]

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'm sure he could use the skill, just not do any serous crazy stuff

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Can I do spelunking? Or tracking? Or am I too almost dead?

GM: Matt does not hear anything

Matthias Crowtooth: I hear nothing, everyone!

GM: No to Lemon

Ratbone Carder: for we have to char the BOD-eees!

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 8] [d20 = 20]

Rothuss Carder: Whatcha listening for?

GM: No for Vee too

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): That's what I suspected

Vee Barlett: Just look at all these rocks. Rocks, rocks, oh! Mushroom! And another rock...

Vee Barlett: Land is so boring.

Jericho: Okay, stand back please

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 8]

Vee Barlett: Why?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): What? Vee's not almost dead

Shislif (MeLange): nice

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (lol as in no she didn't make the roll)

Jericho: Jericho cast a spell NOT memorized.

Jericho: [CAST] Detect Evil

Jericho: I'm checking for remnants

Jericho: of evil

Jericho: Maybe we missed something

Vee Barlett: looks at him funny but let's him do his thing

GM: Ratbone looks over the dead bodies, and notices that the dead zombie goblins look more beat up than the dead goblins, likely just because they were alive, then dead, then undead but there is a difference

springdew (Ratbone Carder): I'm going to annoy the snot out of you guys singing all the time

Matthias Crowtooth: immediately hides behind Vee as soon as Jericho says he's looking or evil

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (lol)

GM: and never Spring

Ratbone Carder: Um, neat

Ratbone Carder: so the zombie bodies are more wrecked

GM: and for Jericho nothing evil inside the caves

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oh, you're never going to let Spring sing? That's mean

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (so they beat up Malkin on purpose? part of the zombie ritual?)

Jericho: The Power of Locrin compells you!

Ratbone Carder: i mean look, that foot is like torn half off

Jericho: Always wanted to say that

Jericho: Grinning

Jericho: but nothing

Jericho: It's empty

Jericho: as far as evil is concerned

Jericho: Sigh

Jericho: What do we do guys?

MeLange: sdorry Jericho, I'm sure you'll find evil someday

Jericho: I don't want to give up, but we're chasing shadows

Vee Barlett: Keep trackin' after the bodies burn.

Ratbone Carder: Heh there is no "let". Spring sings. That's it.

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: It's a start

Vee Barlett: No we now go CHASE the shadow.

springdew (Ratbone Carder): OOC

Jericho: Goodie

Matthias Crowtooth: If you're looking for evil, I can introduce you to people

GM: HAH

User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)

Jericho: Look

Jericho: I'd rather not

Jericho: But if I ever do, I'll need to hide behind people like you guys

GM: Ok so anything else here at teh caves? you have cleaned them out of goblins, picked up the various bits and pieces you wanted to scavenge for treasure

Jericho: I just patch people up

GM: You burned the bodies

GM: You did not find any additional tracks

mharmon1 (Jericho): I mean, is there something obvious I might bem issing bob? I really did try to give it a good go

mharmon1 (Jericho): Just not sure what else to look for here

GM: Ready to go back to the Temple and turn in your report?

MeLange: you know I love burnin up dead bodies as much as the next guy, but what next folks?

mharmon1 (Jericho): I was going to follow Vee here honestly

mharmon1 (Jericho): I feel like this isn't done, just that the cave is baffling unsatisfying to report on

Matthias Crowtooth: I don't really want to burn folks. Seems morally ambiguous.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): want to go look wherever Ava saw the shadow

Jericho: Well Ava?

Jericho: Could you perhaps show us where you saw our shade though?

GM: She can point to the spot above the cave

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): yes - that or check out all the way down the cave

Jericho: We already are here

Vee Barlett: goes to that point

GM: All of the cave has been explored nothing else back there

Jericho: Anything?

Jericho: Calls to Vee

GM: Climb walls? or ?

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 10]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 5]

GM: All so good

Matthias Crowtooth: Imma climbing

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Rope Use [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 10]

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): im good to go back if all paths have been checked

Shislif (MeLange): me as well

GM: Vee and Matt clammer up around the rocks and they find a small lookout post, with a small horn that was left behind

GM: There are man sized boot prints also

GM: but they disapear farther up into the rocks

Matthias Crowtooth: quietly draws his sword

Vee Barlett: grabs the horn to pocket

Jericho: Vee? Matt?

Jericho: Calls

Jericho: Worried Tone

Jericho: Are you okay?

Rothuss Carder: What'd you find?

Matthias Crowtooth: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 25) [FAILURE by 65] [d100 = 90]

Matthias Crowtooth: hears Jericho and Rothuss

Vee Barlett: Lookout post, some trinket, and some prints we're gonna check out.

Vee Barlett: I can toss a rope down if ya wanna climb up here.

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Rope Use [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 20]

Rothuss Carder: I'm good, thanks

Jericho: I can try, but I'm not much good at that sort of thing

GM: and the rope falls to the ground

Vee Barlett: Oops. Huh, thought that tree was sturdier...

Jericho: Well

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Does that mean she forgot to tie it off and it falls HAH

Jericho: Uh

Jericho: huh

Matthias Crowtooth: sighs

Jericho: Yeah don't think I'll be making it up there

Jericho: Any hint of danger, just come back to us okay?

Vee Barlett: I got more rope. It's fine. We'll be quick.

GM: There is no clear path upwards

GM: maybe some handholds, but that would be it, looks all natural nothing worked or built

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (the boot prints just... stop at a rock or something?)

GM: Like someone was standing here and then ...... flew away?

Vee Barlett: looks up at the sky

GM: Or went back down or climbed up? that makes more sense but you did not see anything down below and no clear path up

Vee Barlett: Hey Levi! Can chupacabras fly?

Matthias Crowtooth: Uh..... yeah, sure.

Levi Reed: Not sure, maybe the queens

Matthias Crowtooth: Do chupacabras wear boots?

Shislif (MeLange): chupacabra count as an animal?

springdew (Ratbone Carder): Ugh, gonna have to go, friends, sorry

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (monster, we tried earlier, lol)

GM: HUGS see you next week Spring

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Bye!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (and pretty sure this one is human)

GM: there will be something on the site for you

Shislif (MeLange): have a great week!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (bye Spring!)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Night spring!

springdew (Ratbone Carder): Hugs see you later

'springdew' disconnected

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Unlikely, Sharif, but doesn't hurt to try

Levi Reed: Nah, no boots

Matthias Crowtooth: cuz I see bootprints

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): bye Sis!

Shislif (MeLange): sure lemme give the ol lore a go

Vee Barlett: Well maybe someone knows what this tricket is.

Vee Barlett: Ready to go down?

Matthias Crowtooth: [SKILL] Climb Walls [PERCENT:Climb Walls] (vs. Target 60) [FAILURE by 39] [d100 = 99]

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ouch!

MeLange: [SKILL] Animal Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 2]

Matthias Crowtooth: Sure.. Climbing dowwwwwww-

GM: [d6 = 2]

GM: Matt hits the ground with a THUD

GM: and takes 2 points of damage

Rothuss Carder: Don't fall. Lookos like it'd be a nasty one.

Rothuss Carder: Yep.

mharmon1 (Jericho): I do apologize. I'll be needing to head out in about 30 min. Sorry about that

Rothuss Carder: Just like that

Jericho: Also letm e tak a look at the shoulder Matt

Matthias Crowtooth: I....I'm okay.... Lu-luckily.... the ground.... broke... my... fall...

Jericho: Sighs

Vee Barlett: Uh, yeah. I'll try... the rope again?

Jericho: [SKILL] Diagnostics [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 15] [d20 = 3]

Rothuss Carder: Yep.

Jericho: I'd say a small bruise

GM: No broken bones for Matt

Jericho: Please be more careful

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (she has more rope, she can do another roll right?)

Jericho: And a beer tonight

GM: Yes to Carissa

Rothuss Carder: If you'd flapped a bit harder, maybe you'd have flown

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Rope Use [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 12]

Jericho: He's being sarcastic right?

GM: Excellent

Vee Barlett: graceful climbs down with a rope

Jericho: Whilspers to Matt

GM: everyone is back down and good to go

Jericho: Please tell me he's not serious about the flight comment

Vee Barlett: gathers up her ropes and lightly pats Matty on the back

Vee Barlett: You almost looked magestic.

Jericho: Hey lay off him

GM: Going to pause for just a moment here for something that I will bring up again after the interview at the Church

Story Reference: 0.1 Post Story Arc Discussion

Story Reference: Into the Woods

Vee Barlett: Just a friendly pat. You need a drink tonight, bud.

Jericho: I don't drink

Jericho: But him yes

GM: Going forward with our story arcs I want to more firmly establish a chance for everyone to comment on the recently ended story arc and give feedback. I want everyone to feel conformtable giving real answers to help us all appreciate the good things that happened during the previous sessions and to make a note of things that could go better in the future.

Matthias Crowtooth: laughs slightly

Jericho: Okay

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (aka you want a hotwash)

GM: I will post those again later but wanted Michael to see them before leaving

mharmon1 (Jericho): Okay

mharmon1 (Jericho): You want us to post on website bob?

GM: After the church interview is over we will talk about it here, so you can post to the site Michael as you will be gone before

Jericho: Ah okay

mharmon1 (Jericho): Ah okay

GM: Now back to the traveling from the caves back to the Temple

GM: I fed Angelica one last bit of church knowledge

GM: and then we all go there

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): i suppose we should go back?

Image: Temple of the Orange Sunsets - Investigators Chapel

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): we just need two to testify

Jericho: Would you all be willing to stand witness for a few moment?

Jericho: I would appreciate it greatly

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ok but the blood splatters on Levi and Rothuss are a bit grotesque... their eyes are red!

Jericho: Nods

Vee Barlett: As in youl want us to just.. stay back here and wait? Sure.

Jericho: It will show they were dedicated and honorable

Vee Barlett: Who?

Jericho: Levi and Rothuss of course

Jericho: They almost died to help others

GM: Everyone will be there, just two people to speak for the group

MeLange casually sits on a bench

Levi Reed: Sure that sounds good

Vee Barlett: You want them to talk?

Rothuss Carder: Well, of course we are. Never doubted it for a minute

Jericho: Ava? Would you like yourself or me to give witness? We could do it together, or ask another to bear witness. I makes no difference to me

Ava Bosley: We know these people but perhaps you should go with another who has outside experience

Levi Reed: We all know it will be bad if I talk

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: Vee?

Jericho: Would you like to come with me?

Jericho: Anyone?

Jericho: I'll buy you a drink

Jericho: As recompsnese of course

Rothuss Carder: Nah. You don't wanna boost yourself like that.

Matthias Crowtooth: Me going... probably wouldn't go well

Vee Barlett: Eh, I suppose. Especially for a free drink.

MeLange yawns

Jericho: Grins

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): that was to Levi

Jericho: Of course you would

Jericho: Respectfully approaches the Investigator

Vee Barlett: leans over, "I actually owe Levi a drink so you're paying off my debt to him!"

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Should I like...bow or something?)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Not sure formatlityies here)

Rothuss Carder: whispers to Levi, "Just look honest and humble."

GM: This is your Church Jericho

Levi Reed: Wouldn't know how, Rothuss

Jericho: in Service of Locrin, I offer platitudes to the Father, and your supplication for your servant below. I offer a report to your ears.

Jericho: Kneels on both knees in supplication, head bowed

GM: Michel is the one who discovered Jericho in Osterhold and she brought him back here to the Temple

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Hey man, you said it was my church, that is how my church treats superiors if you give me that much latitude :) )

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Jericho stand up

Jericho: Stands

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Who is your Friend here?

Jericho: Keeps head lowered respectfully

Vee Barlett: Vee. Nice meeting ya.

Jericho: This is Vee, a erm....well she's a friend

Jericho: And witness

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Smiles at Vee

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: You look much drier than you like to be

Jericho: In drink or on water

Jericho: Thinks to hiimself

Vee Barlett: grins

Jericho: Despite himself

Vee Barlett: Definitely feel like it. I'm longin' for a dip in the sea after this.

Jericho: A quirk of the lips

Jericho: At his own dumb joke

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Good, a long swim will do you well

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Now I have spoken with Hyancinth earlier this morning

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: She said you were cleaning up some details and getting more information for us

Jericho: Nods

User has gone AFK. (Lycanangel)

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: What did you discover?

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: We sent you out to find out what sort of trouble was happening

Vee Barlett: giving Jericho time to reply first

Shislif (MeLange): brb refill

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

GM: as a reminder the interesting NPCs are on the various location pages

GM: (LINK)

Rothuss Carder: bounces on his toes a couple of times.

Jericho: Unfortuanately not too much. We returned to burn the undead, and searched the caves where we found them. We trited to investigate the nearby hamlet farm for more information, but they didn't seem to know much in this regard. We had heard Chupacabra, but found no sign of the beast. Vee here did find tracks above the cave as a lookout post.

Jericho: I apologize, but I have not met expectations in this regard. I have however brought Vee as expert witness as a combat specialist

Vee Barlett: and this lil' tricket of sorts

Vee Barlett: pulls out horn and holds in palm of her hand

Vee Barlett: They were up at a lookout post above the caves, but no easy way to get up OR down that we could find.

Vee Barlett: The twins said them zombies were beat up pretty bad. Not sure if it's from them being dead or if they had to be beat up before being zombified. Mr. Markin was all bruised up when we found him.,

Rothuss Carder: looks at the horn to see if he can identify anything about it from a distance.

Jericho: I did verify he was healing properly and will make a full recovery

Jericho: Respectfully quiet tone

Vee Barlett: And Ava said their little girl said... someone was giving them trouble? Sorry, I was eatin' breakfast. Maybe Jericho heard it.

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: Ava?

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: I told you they would search in different places than the regular Investigators

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (she's afk)

Jericho: You were better at speaking to our little girl

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Oh shoot. She heard more there then Jericho did)

GM: You cannot get help from anyone else Michael

mharmon1 (Jericho): Damn

mharmon1 (Jericho): Are you serious?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Wow

GM: Jericho and Vee were chosen

GM: She told you that

mharmon1 (Jericho): Sigh

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I was hoping you paid attention during that part since I went afk, lol

mharmon1 (Jericho): Well bob, this is my first inquisitor

mharmon1 (Jericho): No really, Jericho was not there for that

mharmon1 (Jericho): Bob? Was I?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Caush, shit. I'm screwed

GM: Everyone here knows what you know

mharmon1 (Jericho): Oh my god.

Jericho: There was a girl who was noticing more then her parents I think

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (but that means they can tell us OOC..._)

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: See Michel, they talked to everyday people

Jericho: I have a suspciion there were either children or goblin feet where she noticed an encampent

mharmon1 (Jericho): (And That's all i got off top of my head, short of scrolling back up)

Jericho: But the child was preoccupied

seyfert (Vee Barlett): FG cuts off chat so you can't even scroll up to find it anymore

mharmon1 (Jericho): Are you kidding me?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): nope

mharmon1 (Jericho): That needs to be fixed ASAP

seyfert (Vee Barlett): anyone else wanna fill in OOC?

mharmon1 (Jericho): That should neve rhappen

mharmon1 (Jericho): Yeah guys, now would be good

mharmon1 (Jericho): I can't rmeember the full conversation

seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh well if not

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: So starting with the idea of did you actually rescue the person who was kidnapped?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): That's all I remember too

Jericho: Yes

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Something about angry people talking to her dad at night?

Vee Barlett: Mr. Markin? Sure. He's back home with his family.

Jericho: We brought him home and looked over his injuries

Jericho: That at least I could do

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Did you find and defeat who ever stole him?

Vee Barlett: Mrs. Markin makes some good breakfast fritters.

Jericho: No I did Not

Jericho: Honest

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Smiles, see they work on what is important

Vee Barlett: Well, somewhat. Not the original kidnapper, but the goblins who helped? Yeah.

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Well, maybe not everything

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: That is a good mark then

Vee Barlett: Burned the bodies, too, so the undead stay dead this time.

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: You do understand that you are not here to evaluate my questions? You are here to evaluate your charges? Looking at Hilde)

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Burning the evil from the land is a very good choice

Vee Barlett: Lirth is great at remembering things like that.

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: From what I am gathering here, you were sucessful at tracking down the missing person, you rescued him, you defeated the evil creatures, and everyone is home safe and sound?

Vee Barlett: Yes, m'am.

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: And they had an extra breakfast

Vee Barlett: smiles

User is back. (Lycanangel)

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: ALso for the record, only Ava, Jericho and sometimes Matthais are my charges, the rest are just.... companions

Vee Barlett: We don't know who is at the bottom of it though, not yet. Hopefully we can figure something out from the horn. But Mr. Markin is safe and the goblin won't be botherin' people from that cave, at least.

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: It is like they want to work for you Michel

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: We will see

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: I am satisfied with this outcome

Vee Barlett: I follow Deltan, m'am. I focus on saving the sea life, appreciatin' the mayflies, all that for him.

MeLange lays down sideways on the bench and closes his eyes, hands hot dogged between his muscular thighs

Jericho: I am dissapointed we did not find the one respnisble

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Hilde, give your charges and friends a just reward and meet me in the rookery, I have several messages to send out

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Walks out

Jericho: Winces slightly, but used to the gruffness

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Well that was fun

Jericho: Sighs in relief as she leaves, ever so slightly

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Now young Ava,

Ava Bosley: Yes?

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Tell me, why did you not speak and have miss... Vee speak for your group?

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: It is hard enough to keep Jericho quiet so I understand that,

Jericho: Confused, wanting to step in and eyes Ava if he wants him to interject on her behalf

Ava Bosley: I believe it is important to not only gather information from the perspectives of those like us, but also those who have different points of view

Ava Bosley: There are some who may have different perspectives... and just by speaking to some of our own today... I thought that may be of importance

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Nods

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Turning to Vee

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: And how do you feel about being put on the spot like this?

Ava Bosley: smiles in thanks to Jericho

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Vee Barlett: It's fine.

Vee Barlett: If it helps, it helps. I know I saw things they didn't so I was sure it'd help.

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Good

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: I am pleased with that

Rothuss Carder: hums quietly to hiimself.

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Ava seems to have made some new friends, which is a good thing, she has been working with the Church for a long time, all of her life that I remember

Ava Bosley: gives slight bow

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: For the rest of you I will give you each 5 Gold as a reward and if there is any healing you need we will do that at no expectation of further thithing

Vee Barlett: Thank you, m'am.

Rothuss Carder: nods his head.

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: For Matthais, Jericho and Ava I will give you each 8 gold, but remember to account for your own thithing

Rothuss Carder: Thanks much, your holiness.

Vee Barlett added 5 GP on from the church(Hilde) as a reward

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Now you all go watch up

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Clean up and go enjoy a swim

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (y'all better at that gold to your inventory correctly or I swear...)

Ava Bosley: A thanks to you below and to the sun above

Jericho: Bows

Jericho: Thank you

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: The holidays are coming go get something nice to wear

Vee Barlett: grins and salutes her

Shislif (MeLange): the background is so dark it's hard to read

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (I agree I don't remember it being that dark)

Jericho: Puts aside the requisite Tithe, puts a single gold coin in his pocket, and give the rest to the group

MeLange added 5 GP on

seyfert (Vee Barlett): GP is top middle

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): woooo, free money

Shislif (MeLange): thx

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (thanks Sharif! You get put on my good list)

Levi Reed added 5 GP on from church lady

Shislif (MeLange): lol what did I do?

Jericho: I have no need of money at this time, and I am alive for your efforts. I thank you

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (and Lemon, too!)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (added the gold to your sheet correctly to help track it for party, lol)

Jericho: I tithe, and will save one for my own uses, but the rest is for you as thanks. Use it how you will

Jericho: Smiles

Vee Barlett: Nah, mate. You owe me a drink, right? You need that money to buy it.

Vee Barlett: grins

GM: Did you look at the Tithing rules?

Shislif (MeLange): oh ok lol

Jericho: Nope

mharmon1 (Jericho): Nope

Rothuss Carder added 5 GP on

Levi Reed: I swear to all the gods Jericho, if I have to lend you money in the future I'm going to be so angry

Jericho: If you do not take this Vee, I will drop it on the floor

Jericho: Surely you would not let such a coin go to waste?

Vee Barlett: shrugs and takes it

Jericho: Nods in satisfaction

GM: Ranking in the Keldorian religion is based on two criteria. The level of the worshiper determines which circle they are placed in. There are 8 circles, with the same numbered circle applying to both acting members (those who are not priests) and performing members (those who are priests). Acting members are expected to tithe to their local Church what they see as an appropriate amount based on the value of the Church to them. Performing members have a different style of tithing based on their Circle. Performing members are expected to tithe the percentage of their income or adventuring finds that equals their Circle. An adventuring Second Circle priestess would give 20% of her treasures found, while a senior Eighth Circle priest would tithe 80% of his income to the Church.

Vee Barlett added 1 GP on from Jericho

Jericho: That being said, you can buy your own damned drink

Jericho: Grunts

Jericho: But smiles

Vee Barlett: Fine, but ya gotta come with us.

Jericho: Deal

Vee Barlett: You can't let Jericho and the one twin dirnk too much while injured still, ya?

Vee Barlett: smiles

GM: Adding XP to everyone's sheets now at the end of the Story Arc

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *LEVI

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (not Jericho, lol)

Rothuss Carder: I mean, I wouldn't turn it down.

Jericho: I can still put aside the tithing and keep one gold and give the rest in smaller increments

Jericho: I view their services to the church as honorable in my own way

[500 XP] -> Lirtimya

MeLange gets up and stretches

[500 XP] -> Vee Barlett

MeLange: Nothing like waking up to gold

[500 XP] -> Rothuss Carder

[500 XP] -> Levi Reed

Vee Barlett: Next time we're at a Deltan temple, I'll be givin' him some. Or tossed in the sea before a trip. He takes it that way, too. Safe voyage, you know?

[500 XP] -> Jericho

[500 XP] -> Ratbone Carder

Jericho: Smiles grimly. Now if I recall, don't you own a bar or something?

[500 XP] -> MeLange

Jericho: I need a water and some food

[500 XP] -> Matthias Crowtooth

Shislif (MeLange): wooo nice

Shislif (MeLange): yea end of act 1

Ava Bosley: On my way out, I reach out to Mistress Finn for a hug, then place 1.6 gold in her hand.

Shislif (MeLange): or the tutorial lol

Jericho: Oh dear gods, please don't spend it all in one place.

Jericho: Whines softly

Jericho: That's a ton of alchohol

GM: Ok to Angelica

Jericho: Winces

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): lol so i don't forget

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (P.S. So far my good list of people are still only Sharif, Lemon, TMO, and Michael......hint hint)

Jericho: Places the total tithe amount (as the total of what was given, not what was left), into Mistress Finns hand (i'll do math later), bows, and murmers sincere thanks

Jericho: Places the total tithe amount (as the total of what was given, not what was left), into Mistress Finns hand (i'll do math later), bows, and murmers sincere thanks

GM: Carissa, can you deduct that 1.6 from a sheet? OR should be make a place to "spend" gold so that the Tithes can be taken out that way?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (you can go to inventory, click the middle hand button at botton right, and add your money...)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (it's easier if Angelica adds 5 gp then deducts it after)

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'll need to identify that later. My mind is fading and I need to go :)

mharmon1 (Jericho): Sorry guys :)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (you gave Vee your gold so you're fine, but note on your sheet what you tithed)

GM: so questions for the rest of us for the rest of the evening.

Shislif (MeLange): no worries I'm kinda fading out myself

GM: I really do want to do this at the end of each Story Arc

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (I can't do anything on party pack as a whole, FYI which is why I will nag you all)

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Have a good night, Michael!

MeLange: nag nag nag

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (night michael!)

Shislif (MeLange): OOC

seyfert (Vee Barlett): NAG NAG NAG NAG NAG

'mharmon1' disconnected

Vee Barlett: and NAG

GM: I will post this portion of the chat with it for everyone to read later and we know what happened and what we want to update

Shislif (MeLange): lol

seyfert: whoops was supposed to release with that last one

GM: What do you think about the interactions with the NPCs? Did you get a different reaction from someone than you expected to? Why did they act that way?

Story Reference: Into the Woods

What do you think about the interactions with the NPCs? Did you get a different reaction from someone than you expected to? Why did they act that way?

seyfert: Michel is a bit stuffy. I see where Jericho gets it

What can BOB do differently with those NPCs?

Did you feel the story arc had a consistent thread you could follow?

Did the Player Characters act as you expected?

What changes to FG do you think would be helpful after the past few sessions?

What do you think of the world building that happened in this story arc?

GM: smiles with Carissa

seyfert: oh it's a list, like homework

Shislif: lol that's what i was thinkin

GM: not homework, things to do here now

Shislif: class work

Shislif: :)

GM: But it is in chat so people can add to it later on

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'll have to read up, having missed so much of the arc. But what I was here for I have no complaints over.

GM: I want to make sure we are clear on things,

Shislif: I honestly still find it kinda hard to follow along and I know I need to read up on the website which I don't really do

seyfert: I have diagreements that there was NO small town gossip but otherwise it was fine

GM: Fair enough on more town gossip

seyfert: you need to visit more small towns :P

Shislif: I'm also kinda nervous that MeLange can't do anything besides fight, I'm just gonna be rolling animal lore all the time

GM: Adding more of those things even if they do not add more clues

seyfert: I've been to some great middle of nowhere places if you need vacay suggestions!

seyfert: yes please

GM: You can always do things, you can talk and interact as good as anyone Sharif

Shislif: middle of nowhere sounds nice

Shislif: well that's true thx :)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ok that list is like the back of books that has the questions for the book club discussion

Shislif: but yea I'm thinkin the rangers are cool cause they have other stuff too

GM: and the new desktop decal

seyfert: lol I was thinking more like English class after asisigned reading, but yeah

Shislif: I'll be goin on a meditation retreat, fortunately I won't need to miss any games

Shislif: next week

seyfert: and Melange will get his chance to to really shine soon enough!

GM: Yes he will

GM: Next week we start the new story arc

Shislif: That's true once the action starts that should be fun

seyfert: Meditation Retreat sounds nice. Curious how it goes. I'm still learning.

GM: longer, more involved, moving from place to place

Shislif: Nice! Yea I'm pretty excited it's 5 days up in Big Bear

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): My only problem was Lady Markin's anxiety lol. But yeah, lack of gossip was surprising. And it feels like we've reached a dead end, but I'm not sure if that's intended or not

GM: I can set up a Peloton log in for you Carissa or anyone, you can use their meditations, yoga, etc.

seyfert: Nice! Enjoy!

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Otherwise no complaints. Everyone did good

Shislif: thx I'll let ya know how it goes :)

seyfert: I have some freebie software I use, but appreciate it. One day I'll try a class

GM: For Lemon was it a bad dead end?

GM: If I give you the login it is free, part of our account

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I don't have feelings about whether it was bad or good, it just was

Shislif: Hey Bob have you started on your new space game?

GM: can have up to 24 people on the account

GM: Not yet, that will be in October

seyfert: it felt drawn out

Shislif: cool just checkin

seyfert: just... beating a dead horse dead end

seyfert: it'd be nicer to know when to stop beating the horse

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): The breakfast part did, yeah, because we weren't getting any gossip or useful information

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, that

Rothuss Carder: when it says Neigh More!

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Condense what I said into that

GM: How would be better to indicate that "you have talked to everyone who can give you informatoin that can help on this quest"

seyfert: Gossip, even useless, would have made it less boring

Shislif: yea plus Levi didn't save any fritters for MeLange

seyfert: lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): You could just say "You have talked to everyone who can give you information that can help on this quest"

Shislif: night JTom :)

seyfert: night mini!

GM: Angelica? ideas?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, sometimes I do keep the RP going just because it's fun, even when I know it's useless

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I was not purposely doing that this time

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Thanks, all. Going to call it as well

GM: I am good with lots of RP going on, just want to make sure everyone gets involved each night

seyfert: same and I kept trying to move it along, and then decided to give my back a rest when it didn't happen

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): This was fun. Sorry for being so late

GM: have a great night Ryan

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): she says in Occ

GM: Also for Angelica what did you think about the whispers between characters?

GM: and does everyone like the map of the island? understand better now where you are?

LemonyLemon: Yeah, I think my problem is I just don't always know when to stop

Shislif: you can right click your icon and click release to release the character

Image: Borinquen

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): it looks great!!!

LemonyLemon: I like the map, but I have no idea where we are on it

seyfert: it's a weird looking piece of land...

Shislif: is that the background image?

Image: Northern Island Kingdoms

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Whispers work! I think I was confused at some points, but the story seemed to clear it up

Shislif: oh i got it

GM: The background image is Borinquen

seyfert: just... sorry but... it looks like my cat's butthole.....

GM: Grins, yes to Carissa, I see that too

Shislif: I was gonna say then I thought best not to lol

GM: and I have this as my desktop wallpaper

Master TMO: your cat needs either a visit to the groomeror the vet

seyfert: They show me theirs a LOT so I'm pretty familiar with that shape

LemonyLemon: cats man

GM: Those are the Five Sisters

LemonyLemon: no thanks

GM: the five mountains at the center of the island

seyfert: you loved them and you know it!!

LemonyLemon: Sure but I don't want their buttholes in my face

seyfert: and there are no thanks I have regarding dogsa

seyfert: and most other aniamsl, it is who they are

LemonyLemon: My dogs at least have the decency to cover it with a tail

GM: and the new background to see the northern islands in detail

GM: and because you stayed, the next story arc is called......

GM: Carissa? you know
