BOB 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.
'Spring' connected
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Hi Carissa!
BOB Hey there Spring
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Hello Hello, Spring!
BOB Sounds good Angelica
BOB I have lots of ideas to work through and build on the website

'Michael' connected
BOB Everything is there just had to add a bit to the URL
BOB want to re-re-do that now
BOB and now Michael is here!
Carissa: Hi all! Sorry walked away for a minute while it loaded.
Spring: Hi hi!
BOB How goes things Spring?
BOB and hope it is not taking too long to load Carissa
BOB This update cause some issues, that I swapped around
Spring: Exhausted. Kittens.
Ratbone Carder: Whom it is time to feed again
'Lemon' connected
BOB And then we have Lemon
Spring (Ratbone Carder): OOC LOL
Michael: 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.
Carissa: no loading problems, just me being distracted problems
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Holy crap, DOCTOR HARMON!!!!!
BOB Love you too Michael
BOB and that is awesome
Michael: Just wanted to ensure you go your due bob :)
Carissa: Congrats!!
Spring (Ratbone Carder): DOC TOR HAR MON!!! Woo HOOO!
Michael: 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
Carissa: and for Lemon: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGXzlRoNtHU">(LINK)</a>
Lemon (Levi Reed): Whaaat, Doctor!? Congrats and also I have this weird mole would you mind checking it out...?
BOB LOL
Michael: Not that kind of doctorl LOL
Ratbone Carder: Rock ON! So AWESOME!
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Unlike you, Carissa, I have a REAL JOB with DAILY responsibilities
BOB Hah
Michael: 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
BOB It will be very good
Michael: You say that now.....
BOB LOTS of world building over the next few months
Spring: Okay NOW i am feeding kitties but keeping one eye in here
Lemon (Levi Reed): Anyway, hi friends!
Michael: Carissa is going to have to face me in text to text.....
Carissa: Wait what??
BOB I think that all of us here now will be around the table in two more weeks too
Michael: 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
Michael: Just dark humor
Carissa: Oh on the website! Sorry my cat distracted me and I didn't see new chat.
Michael: LOL
Carissa: I look forward to nagging Jericho offline ;)
Michael: 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 ;)
BOB I have a laptop for lemon, and screens for Angelica, Michael, and Carissa, did you need one too correct Spring?
BOB and just you want Michael
BOB Just you wait
Spring: No I don't need any hardware
Michael: 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
Carissa: (and for those who didn't see, please read the Discord post about COVID precautions before flying to FL)
BOB OK
BOB Yes please, everyone be safe and careful
BOB and I will check in on food preferences before hand also
Carissa: 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)
Michael: 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
BOB That is good public knowledge... BE SAFE AND CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS
Michael: No, that's just common sense and common courtesy
Lemon (Levi Reed): No offense with the website comment, Michael. I do the bare minimum, and I know it
Spring: 100% y'all
Michael: LOL. you have done more then me this past year Lemon. You rock :)
Michael: Everyone has be default actually
BOB No you do not Lemon, you contribute
Carissa: Y'all rock
Lemon (Levi Reed): And Carissa, I'll do my best, but... preschoolers. I am very happy to take a test when I get there though
Lemon (Levi Reed): I contribute the bare minimum
BOB SO overall you are missing Ryan and Sharif who both will be late
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm not like, dissing myself
Carissa: I'll see how I feel when we get there on if I mask, but was just an FYI, especially with this new wave
Michael: 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?
Lemon (Levi Reed): I just don't want more responsibility
Carissa: You don't need to mask if you don't want to, no worries!
Michael: Uh, we'll see about that. I really don't want to worry you
Carissa: 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
Michael: It doesn't bother me
BOB We have masks if anyone needs
Michael: hehehe
Michael: thank you :)
BOB Have not heard from TMO and Jtom
Carissa: thank you for checking/offering tho!
Michael: I'd even shave my face for you to have a tight fitting mask heheh
Carissa: LOL
Carissa: We have to fit test those every year. I know how much committment it is to shave for that.
BOB We do have your priests here,
BOB Michael how up to date are you on what happened?
Carissa: Or how significant a gesture, I should say, lol
Carissa: YOU LEFT US TO ZOMBIES
Carissa: YOU AND ANGELICA
Carissa: (I forgive you, you're allow to have a real life I SUPPOSE)
BOB smiles
Michael: AFK one moment, my bad
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): Maybe that was our plan all along MWHAHAHAHA
BOB LOL
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): .... just kidding .... actually really sorry about that
Michael: Back
Carissa: It's okay, I'm just jealous. I was not aware I'm allowed to have a life outside this game.
BOB No priests is not a horrible thing, just would have been fun for people to see how Turn Undead works
Michael: That escalated quickly!
Carissa: Nah, we killed them. They're just lvl 1 zombies who took down two of our fighters. We were fineeee
Michael: 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?
BOB Well we will talk about that idea at the end of tonight Carissa
BOB Right now the group is at the Temple of the Orange Sunsets
User has gone AFK. (Spring)
BOB There is a small healing ward, not a hospital, but a place for farmers with injuries to come to
Michael: Yeah....... Level1 who took them down. Sigh We gotta train up hehe
Michael: So I can do some healing if possible, even if non-magical I can do my best
BOB That is where the group ended up
Michael: No chubacabra? Or yes chupacrabra?
BOB 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
BOB to bring them back to walking wounded
Michael (Jericho): Let me check how many spells I have left
BOB Then they both need 24 hours before they can take more healing and get back to normal
BOB 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]
BOB and then Michael can do one on Rothuss, I think you both have at least one first level spell left
Lemon (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]
BOB Is it somethign we should be mad about too Lemon?
BOB Not quite right Angelica
Jericho: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 2]
Heal [1] -> [to Rothuss Carder] [STATUS: Critical]
BOB There you to for Jerico
Lemon (Levi Reed): No, it's neighborhood-specific
Michael (Jericho): Grunts
BOB Michael help out Angelica to cast like that
Michael (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]
Michael (Jericho): Oh, she got it hahaa
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): fixed it
BOB Angelica, has to be on the target
BOB nope that did not go to anyone
Ava Bosley: [HEAL] Cure Light Wounds [d8 = 5]
Heal [1] -> [to Levi Reed] [STATUS: Critical]
BOB There you go
BOB Thank you
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): hehe thank you for the help
Michael (Jericho): As I was typing again. LOL! She's a quick learner
BOB So now everyone crashes here in the ward
BOB 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
BOB You are in the ward
Jericho: And No. Not like that
Michael (Jericho): (So light injuries for farmers and such. Are there beds bob?)
BOB 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.
Carissa (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
BOB 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.
BOB 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?
BOB Everyone can stay here
BOB and sleep
Ava Bosley: sleeps
BOB the Acolytes will take care of the patients
Vee Barlett: We're in your temple. What do you expect? We can all sleep.
BOB it is too far to travel for anyone
Jericho: Keeps close, but collapes on bedroll and grunts
BOB BRB refilling, but you can disucss as you are falling asleep options on what to do about wrapping up this mission
Michael (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)
Michael (Jericho): Did Vee at least get to pickup her loot?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Sorry, just caught up. TMO said they'd both be late
Michael (Jericho): I know she wanted to haha
Carissa (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
Carissa (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?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (let me translate that to Vee speak)
Michael (Jericho): (oh sorry)
Michael (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.
Michael (Jericho): (Was the farmer alive?)
Michael (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (yes he's back home with wife recovering - we're visiting in the morning and hoping for breakfast)
Michael (Jericho): (Thank you :) )
Michael (Jericho): (You rock)
Jericho: Blurts
Levi Reed: And was it a real chupacabra that took him?
BOB 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
BOB The candles grow dim
BOB The soft sounds of prayer echo throughout the chamber
Vee Barlett: We never saw one. Just your dead body next to zombie guys.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): *guts
BOB 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
BOB 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
BOB So after a full night's sleep
BOB 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!
BOB The two Walking Wounded can do basic things, but cannot take more healing until tomorrow morning
Michael (Jericho): Under care of a doctor,don't they get enhanced healing?
Michael (Jericho): Let me verify
BOB So they can talk, walk, but not wield a weapon, cast spells, do most proficiency checks, etc
BOB Yes to Michael, ... tomorrow
Michael (Jericho): Ah
Michael (Jericho): Sounds good
BOB 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
Michael (Jericho): Thank you for refresher :)
BOB and so in the morning, Hyancth goes off to the Temple and runs interference for the group
BOB 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
BOB and pausing here just for a moment
BOB I forgot to go over the Morning resets
BOB I did the healing on my side
BOB but Carissa can you please help Angelica and Michael with resetting spells for the morning
Lemon (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
Michael (Jericho): hehe
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Just... you're back to your normal amount
BOB and Laughs, yes it is.... Melange has digestive issues like a cannon
Michael (Jericho): Don't we just keep track in head?
Michael (Jericho): I thought she meant Cannon as in actualy story, not fan fiction
Carissa (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.
Michael (Jericho): I have a chart, but if we need it done otherwise
Michael (Jericho): I can
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I think you just... unclick those circles or something
BOB However it works best for you,
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Hard to help when i don't have spells to see what you see
BOB Knowing how many spells you get at each level, how many you have cast each day etc
Carissa (Vee Barlett): And actually, don't use your head
Michael (Jericho): No worries. We can try keeping track first, and if it gets too confusing we can switch
BOB will be a key thing next story arc that extends over several days
Carissa (Vee Barlett): At least put it on your notes on your sheet
Michael (Jericho): Right
BOB Yes agreed with Carissa
Carissa (Vee Barlett): The Notes section of Notes tab at minimum
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Otherwise learn how to use the bubbles
BOB Angelica do you know how many first level spells you get?
Carissa (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!
Michael (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
Lemon (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): You sleep so you have all your spells again this morning
BOB Yes to Angelica
Lemon (Levi Reed): But maybe other people are not as forgetful as me
BOB and yes to Lemon, keeping track is important no matter if you think you remember or not
BOB I keep the NPC ones in their notes
Michael (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
BOB but I like the players to do what they like
BOB On your Actions Tab in the Power tab it shows you that you have X number of slots
Michael (Jericho): Yep, so four slots
BOB but it only shows the slots for your level, not your bonus spells
Michael (Jericho): One of which is checked
BOB Hmmm
BOB yes Jericho does show them correctly
BOB and Ava does not
BOB Hmmm
BOB BUT in any case Jerico has one checked and should not have any checked
Michael (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
Michael (Jericho): So how to uncheck?
Michael (Jericho): Cleared it
Michael (Jericho): Ok
Michael (Jericho): right click, clear
Michael (Jericho): All should be open again
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): see it
Ava Bosley: Taking long rest.
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): on my end
Michael (Jericho): Excellent
BOB And now Ava is correct
Michael (Jericho): So we got the "Clearing" down. And now we don't have to mentally keeep track
BOB three spells none used
BOB glad we fixed this
BOB 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. (Spring)
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
Carissa (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
BOB 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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): *he
Carissa (Vee Barlett): thought it was ava
Amara Markin: I do not know, I would hope not
Michael (Jericho): Eh, Vee probably thinks Jericho isa girl anyways. He'll ignore it
Amara Markin: It was horrible enogh
Michael (Jericho): :)
Jericho: Nods
Michael (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): sorry cat
Amara Markin: Thank you
Lemon (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
Michael (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?
Spring (Ratbone Carder): WWSD - What would Shaggy do?
Michael (Jericho): Let me go get scooby and we're all set
Michael (Jericho): LOL
Amara Markin: We do not have any sheep, the sugar cane is all good
Michael (Jericho): Same time haha
Lemon (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
Michael (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
Lemon (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
Michael (Jericho): I'm fine with her panicking
Michael (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
Michael (Jericho): Seriously, they are acting way to blase for being hit over the head and acting like breakfast is just a fact of life
Michael (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
Michael (Jericho): these people are screwed
Ava Bosley: Hiding from their parents?
Ratbone Carder: (singing softly) still, still, take it seriously
Lemon (Levi Reed): Um, breakfast IS just a fact of life?
Lemon (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
Lemon (Levi Reed): But no, this lady is stressed AF, can we please calm her down
Michael (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
Lemon (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
Spring (Ratbone Carder): same Lemon
Lemon (Levi Reed): It's their HOUSE Michael. Where should they go for breakfast???
Michael (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
Lemon (Levi Reed): It's their home AND their livlihood
Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we finish breakfast and go explore the cave for clues
Ava Bosley: Why not there?
Michael (Jericho): Well, if someone hit me over the head, literally anywhere else, especially knowing my daughter would risk her life
Michael (Jericho): A home is replacable, my family is not
Vee Barlett: Mm, this is a fantastic breakfast.
Lemon (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
Michael (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?
Lemon (Levi Reed): And you can do your job from anywhere
Michael (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
Lemon (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
Lemon (Levi Reed): Probably harder for a medieval farmer to pick up and move
Farmer Malkin : Really now
Lemon (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.
Michael (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
Lemon (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
Michael (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?
Lemon (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?
Lemon (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.
Michael (Jericho): There you go. You have a better answer, so we can go with that. Do we even know if they own this land?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ooooh, this is a good question!
Phatima Markin: She was blushing so much
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ask them!
Ava Bosley: hides a laugh
Vee Barlett: I hope she wanted that kiss!
Michael (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. (Spring)
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?
Lemon (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
Carissa (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. (Spring)
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. (Carissa)
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!
Michael (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
Lemon (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?
Michael (Jericho): I think every chuch has it's unsavory elements. Never heard of one that didn't as unfortuante as it is.
Lemon (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?
Lemon (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
Michael (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
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm just letting Angelica have at it now... she seems to be smarter than me lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): And DEFINITELY smarter than Levi
BOB 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
Lemon (Levi Reed): Nah, you're doing good
Ava Bosley: Did they look like something else?
Lemon (Levi Reed): You got more information than any of us did
Phatima Markin: I did not see them
Michael (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
Lemon (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
BOB 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
Michael (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
BOB 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?
Lemon (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
BOB Look for the section on Tithing Lemon
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki-old/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Keldorian">(LINK)</a>
Lemon (Levi Reed): Maybe try the same tactic as you did with the kid... anything you don't want to worry the family with, sir?
Lemon (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

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): happy friday, Sharif!
Lemon (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!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Um, yeah. We are in the farmhouse finishing up breakfast.
Farmer Malkin : Amara is a good woman, I have been happy
Lemon (Levi Reed): You missed breakfast. You had digestion issues
Farmer Malkin : Nothing has gone wrong around here,
Farmer Malkin : nothing strange either
Lemon (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?
Lemon (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?
Lemon (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?
Lemon (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
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, we almost ran into that camp
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): nooo I said it in dialogue
Michael (Jericho): I can cast, Bob is it really obvious if I cast detect magic?
Lemon (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?
Michael (Jericho): Or you can LOL
BOB 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: Ava Bosley cast a spell NOT memorized.

User has gone AFK. (Lycanangel)

Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): back
BOB But yes to continuing the story now that Angelica is back and ...
Jericho: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvyNOg4jSRg">(LINK)</a>
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
TMO (Rothuss Carder): must be nice to have 10. :P
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (you are probably missing the overnight healing)
Shislif (MeLange): lol
BOB 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.
BOB Yes to MeLange being at 10 HP that is his max
Carissa (Vee Barlett): as a fighter? I thought it was 12
TMO (Rothuss Carder): barbarians are 12, iirc
Michael (Jericho): (So Ava heard more I think. She can reveal :) )
BOB 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
TMO (Rothuss Carder): been a long time for me though, could be wrong edition
BOB Totally evil to create undead
BOB 1d10 for fighters, 1d12 for rangers
Shislif (MeLange): oh ok cool
Shislif (MeLange): thx
Lycanangel (Ava Bosley): ok
Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we're confirming what we guessed end of last session
BOB and Michael, Jericho would know that too
BOB looking at the requrirements for the various gods,
BOB Dimere, the goddess this Temple is dedicated to is Lawful Good
BOB so no to exploiting, creating undead, etc
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.
BOB 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]
BOB 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
BOB Sharif it is also a bonus for Constituion
BOB For the two of them
Vee Barlett: Powers corrupt.
Rothuss Carder: I'd be kinda surprised if you thought the church was involved.
BOB 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
Lemon (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
BOB 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
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
BOB And you arrive at the Caves again, this time in the daylight
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
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!
BOB 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. (Spring)
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
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
BOB 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
BOB 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?
BOB welcome Ryan
Levi Reed: That too, good point Vee
TMO (Rothuss Carder): but none of it zombies or cults?
Lemon (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.
BOB 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?
BOB Everyone here was raised with the Church around them, Jericho knows some, Ava knows more having been expected to be chosen for the Church
BOB 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.
BOB In a bit for Ava,
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah yeah yeah, Ava's the favorite child, we get it
BOB 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?
BOB 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!
BOB DUN DUN DUN
Vee Barlett: points to Levi
BOB 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. (Spring)
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]

BOB 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.
BOB and Matthias is on the CT
Carissa (Vee Barlett): looking for new footprints, changes from the night before, all that.
BOB and on the map
Spring (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.
BOB 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
Carissa (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): :)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol it's appreciated
BOB 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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): he probably just didn't eat enough this morning to think clearly!
BOB 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!
BOB 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
BOB LOL
Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Different is a nice way of putting it.
BOB so caves
BOB 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?
BOB 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
Lemon (Levi Reed): Can I hold a torch?
Jericho: Although, I can help with Turn undead
Jericho: Or ava
BOB Yes to Lemon
Jericho: But I won't be much good for regular attacks
Jericho: I will need help
Carissa (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
BOB I said you can just talk through it
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (was just going to ask if Levi can hold a torch)
Rothuss Carder: Who are you carrying a torch for?
BOB Or move
BOB 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?
BOB There are no zombies to turn
BOB All of them are dead
Lemon (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
Lemon (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.
Michael (Jericho): And more dead there bob?
Jericho: I can do that
BOB 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.
BOB 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.
Spring (Ratbone Carder): (to a good stiff drink)
Jericho: Shudders
Vee Barlett: two finger salute to Ratbone
BOB Vee, MeLange, Ava, Jericho go into the caves
Vee Barlett: Thank ya, m'am.
Jericho: How do you drink that paint stripper
BOB 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.
BOB is that right?
Ratbone Carder: And this other guy.
Matthias Crowtooth: grumbles at being left behind
Jericho: Snorts
Carissa (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.
BOB 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
BOB and I think that Matthias likes Vee's legs?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Who doesn't??
BOB Exactly
Jericho: Rubs Mint paste under his nose
Jericho: Hands some to Vee
Lirtimya: Let's build ourselves a pyre
Carissa (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
BOB 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.
BOB 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
BOB 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?
BOB 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.
BOB 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?
BOB 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?
BOB 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.
BOB 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]
Michael (Jericho): I'm sure he could use the skill, just not do any serous crazy stuff
Lemon (Levi Reed): Can I do spelunking? Or tracking? Or am I too almost dead?
BOB Matt does not hear anything
Matthias Crowtooth: I hear nothing, everyone!
BOB 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?
BOB No for Vee too
Lemon (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?
Lemon (Levi Reed): What? Vee's not almost dead
Shislif (MeLange): nice
Carissa (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
BOB 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
Spring (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (lol)
BOB and never Spring
Ratbone Carder: Um, neat
Ratbone Carder: so the zombie bodies are more wrecked
BOB and for Jericho nothing evil inside the caves
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oh, you're never going to let Spring sing? That's mean
Carissa (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.
Spring (Ratbone Carder): OOC
Jericho: Goodie
Matthias Crowtooth: If you're looking for evil, I can introduce you to people
BOB 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
BOB 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
BOB You burned the bodies
BOB You did not find any additional tracks
Michael (Jericho): I mean, is there something obvious I might bem issing bob? I really did try to give it a good go
Michael (Jericho): Just not sure what else to look for here
BOB 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?
Michael (Jericho): I was going to follow Vee here honestly
Michael (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.
Carissa (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?
BOB 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
BOB All of the cave has been explored nothing else back there
Jericho: Anything?
Jericho: Calls to Vee
BOB Climb walls? or ?

BOB Vee and Matt clammer up around the rocks and they find a small lookout post, with a small horn that was left behind
BOB There are man sized boot prints also
BOB 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
BOB 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.
BOB There is no clear path upwards
BOB maybe some handholds, but that would be it, looks all natural nothing worked or built
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (the boot prints just... stop at a rock or something?)
BOB Like someone was standing here and then ...... flew away?
Vee Barlett: looks up at the sky
BOB 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?
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Ugh, gonna have to go, friends, sorry
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (monster, we tried earlier, lol)
BOB HUGS see you next week Spring
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Bye!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (and pretty sure this one is human)
BOB there will be something on the site for you
Shislif (MeLange): have a great week!

Vee Barlett: Just a friendly pat. You need a drink tonight, bud.
Jericho: I don't drink
Jericho: But him yes
BOB 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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (aka you want a hotwash)
BOB I will post those again later but wanted Michael to see them before leaving
Michael (Jericho): Okay
Michael (Jericho): You want us to post on website bob?

Michael (Jericho): Ah okay
BOB Now back to the traveling from the caves back to the Temple
BOB I fed Angelica one last bit of church knowledge
BOB 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
Carissa (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
BOB 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
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!"
Michael (Jericho): (Should I like...bow or something?)
Michael (Jericho): (Not sure formatlityies here)
Rothuss Carder: whispers to Levi, "Just look honest and humble."
BOB 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
BOB Michel is the one who discovered Jericho in Osterhold and she brought him back here to the Temple
Michael (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

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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (she's afk)
Jericho: You were better at speaking to our little girl
Michael (Jericho): (Oh shoot. She heard more there then Jericho did)
BOB You cannot get help from anyone else Michael
Michael (Jericho): Damn
Michael (Jericho): Are you serious?
Michael (Jericho): Wow
BOB Jericho and Vee were chosen
BOB She told you that
Michael (Jericho): Sigh
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I was hoping you paid attention during that part since I went afk, lol
Michael (Jericho): Well bob, this is my first inquisitor
Michael (Jericho): No really, Jericho was not there for that
Michael (Jericho): Bob? Was I?
Michael (Jericho): Caush, shit. I'm screwed
BOB Everyone here knows what you know
Michael (Jericho): Oh my god.
Jericho: There was a girl who was noticing more then her parents I think
Carissa (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
Michael (Jericho): (And That's all i got off top of my head, short of scrolling back up)
Jericho: But the child was preoccupied
Carissa (Vee Barlett): FG cuts off chat so you can't even scroll up to find it anymore
Michael (Jericho): Are you kidding me?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): nope
Michael (Jericho): That needs to be fixed ASAP
Carissa (Vee Barlett): anyone else wanna fill in OOC?
Michael (Jericho): That should neve rhappen
Michael (Jericho): Yeah guys, now would be good
Michael (Jericho): I can't rmeember the full conversation
Carissa (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?
Lemon (Levi Reed): That's all I remember too
Jericho: Yes
Lemon (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.
<font color="#000000">Vee Barlett added 5 GP on from the church(Hilde) as a reward

Carissa (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
BOB Did you look at the Tithing rules?
Shislif (MeLange): oh ok lol
Jericho: Nope
Michael (Jericho): Nope
<font color="#000000">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
BOB 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.
<font color="#000000">Vee Barlett added 1 GP on from Jericho
Jericho: That being said, you can buy your own damned drink

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
BOB 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?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (you can go to inventory, click the middle hand button at botton right, and add your money...)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (it's easier if Angelica adds 5 gp then deducts it after)
Michael (Jericho): I'll need to identify that later. My mind is fading and I need to go :)
Michael (Jericho): Sorry guys :)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (you gave Vee your gold so you're fine, but note on your sheet what you tithed)

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?
Carissa: 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?
BOB smiles with Carissa
Carissa: oh it's a list, like homework
Sharif: lol that's what i was thinkin
BOB not homework, things to do here now
Sharif: class work
Sharif: :)
BOB But it is in chat so people can add to it later on
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.
BOB I want to make sure we are clear on things,
Sharif: 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
Carissa: I have diagreements that there was NO small town gossip but otherwise it was fine
BOB Fair enough on more town gossip
Carissa: you need to visit more small towns :P
Sharif: I'm also kinda nervous that MeLange can't do anything besides fight, I'm just gonna be rolling animal lore all the time
BOB Adding more of those things even if they do not add more clues
Carissa: I've been to some great middle of nowhere places if you need vacay suggestions!
Carissa: yes please
BOB You can always do things, you can talk and interact as good as anyone Sharif
Sharif: middle of nowhere sounds nice
Sharif: well that's true thx :)

BOB longer, more involved, moving from place to place
Sharif: Nice! Yea I'm pretty excited it's 5 days up in Big Bear
Lemon (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
BOB I can set up a Peloton log in for you Carissa or anyone, you can use their meditations, yoga, etc.
Carissa: Nice! Enjoy!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Otherwise no complaints. Everyone did good

Sharif: Hey Bob have you started on your new space game?
BOB can have up to 24 people on the account
BOB Not yet, that will be in October
Carissa: it felt drawn out
Sharif: cool just checkin
Carissa: just... beating a dead horse dead end
Carissa: it'd be nicer to know when to stop beating the horse
Lemon (Levi Reed): The breakfast part did, yeah, because we weren't getting any gossip or useful information
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, that
Rothuss Carder: when it says Neigh More!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Condense what I said into that
BOB How would be better to indicate that "you have talked to everyone who can give you informatoin that can help on this quest"
Carissa: Gossip, even useless, would have made it less boring
Sharif: yea plus Levi didn't save any fritters for MeLange
Carissa: lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): You could just say "You have talked to everyone who can give you information that can help on this quest"
'JtomTMO' disconnected
