BOB Hello Ryan
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Hello!
'Lemon' connected
BOB and Lemon beat Carissa! Lemon beats Carissa!!!!
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Heyo!
Lemon: Nice!
Lemon: Hello!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Is it... just the three of us tonight?
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oh... I forgot. I have to iron... my dog tonight
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ouch
Lemon (Levi Reed): Am I that bad?
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): No, no. Not you. My dog. Really... wrinkled
Lemon (Levi Reed): So when I was a kid, I had a dog puppet that was as big as I was, and his name was Wrinkles
Lemon (Levi Reed): He came with that name, I didn't name him that
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (Can't be in a small-group setting or else they will realize how boring and dull I really am)
Lemon (Levi Reed): And also can I say that it should be illegal for parents to just GET RID OF ALL THEIR KIDS STUFF
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Was it a breed with wrinkly skin?
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Also, respectfully disagree. If I didn't get rid of all my kids and stuff, I wouldn't be able to to pay for my crippling gambling addiction
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm trying to find a picture
BOB There are only two so far
BOB and then we will get more in
Levi Reed: You would though, this thing goes for like $60 on ebay now
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Matthias Crowtooth: I can pretend to be Carissa, if it helps.
Lemon (Levi Reed): And I had the first holiday barbie, and it was selling for $1300, and my mom wouldn't give it to me to sell. Now I don't know if it still exists
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Or TMO.
Lemon (Levi Reed): Precious places toys? I could get about $300 for those right now
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I had a Nintendo DS that my kids destroyed before I could sell it for hundreds more than I paid for it
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): They claim accident but I know it was out of spite
Lemon (Levi Reed): Polly Pocket Fairylight Wonderland? $109
BOB love this and sorry Ryan TMO will not be in
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oof
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I know. I was saying that I could pretend to be him
Lemon (Levi Reed): Heck, even PIECES of the precious places toys sell for $100. And that's not a full set!
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): It would mostly involve me saying, "Well, guess it is time to roll a new character." every 30 minutes
Lemon (Levi Reed): The mansion and the island aren't even ON ebay. I could be making so much money right now
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): If only 5 year old Ryan had the foresight to keep his toys in their original packaging and spend his time instead staring at walls
BOB LOL
Lemon (Levi Reed): This shit isn't even in packaging!
'Carissa' connected
Levi Reed: NGL, I kidn of want to buy all this crap just out of spite/nostalgia
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Lemon (Levi Reed): Sorry Carrisa
Lemon (Levi Reed): That's what you get for being late
BOB and There is Carissa
Lemon (Levi Reed): My unbridled rage at how much money I could have made if not for my mother
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): So... do we jump out now and say surprise, or wait for her to say something?
BOB smiles
Levi Reed: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/114114719505">(LINK)</a>
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I oftentimes wonder how my life could have been without my mother. Usually these thoughts end with me calling my mother and telling her that I love her.
Lemon (Levi Reed): $150!!!
Lemon (Levi Reed): And the box is ripped
BOB and without Spring or TMO or Angelica and maybe not Sharif
Lemon (Levi Reed): Wait, I'm sorry... fisher price was (is?) a division of QUAKER OATS!?
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Well, yeah. I knew that and that's totally why I kept trying to eat my baby toys
BOB But Lemon do you and Spring have the transportation worked out? or do you want me to pick you up from the airport
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm good, thanks
Lemon (Levi Reed): 1991 Fisher Price gained Independance from Quaker Oats
Lemon (Levi Reed): How old are you
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I didn't say I ate my baby toys while stil a baby.
BOB chuckles
BOB brb restroom
Carissa: Hi all!
Carissa: Also looking forward to seeing if Angelica is younger or older than Michael next week.
Carissa: i mean, dunno what you're talking about, but something about age I see
Lemon (Levi Reed): Unopened holiday barbie from 1989 is now down to $560. I'm so mad at my mom.
Lemon (Levi Reed): It was $1300 when I needed money for college
Lemon (Levi Reed): Instead I dropped out
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I envy your ability to tell how old people are by sight. The only people I can do that with are the 5 East Asians who live in Utah.
Carissa: Ouch
Carissa: My mom and I are going to see what Barbies we have when I go home for Christmas. I'm excited.
Carissa: I can't tell people's age.... I'll just have to ask directly
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I gave my daughter Popsicle Stick Barbie for her last birthday. Wonder how much that is worth
Carissa: speaking as a white person about... anyone
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I always feel disingenuous when speaking as a white person.
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I don't know, Ryan is a mystery, I gave up asking him direct questions
Carissa: Understandable. You just need to drawl out your vowels more, add a YEEHAW! or a HOWDY! or a Y'ALL more to your vocob.
Lemon (Levi Reed): No, that's not true
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I give you direct answers that may/may not be correct. What more do you want from me?!?!?!
Lemon (Levi Reed): I gave up expecting a real answer
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): oh, that makes sense
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Okay, before he hops on, if you get Michael's character killed this session, I will answer 10 questions of yours truthfully and fully
Carissa: LOL
Carissa: How many questions if we get Matthias killed?
BOB LOL
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): As many as you want as long as the answer is "Ugh..." or "F-finish me off..."
Carissa: lol
'Michael' connected
BOB Hey there Michael
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Hey Michael. We were just talking about you in a positive and supportive manner. Well, I was at least.
BOB Remember Ryan the chat is posted to the site......
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): ....
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah but who actually reads that besides me and Carissa
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): That dog still needs ironing, unfortunately...
Michael (Jericho): Hey there guys! And I'm sure you were :)
'Dru5232321' disconnected

Michael (Jericho): *Cough
BOB LOL with Ryan ducking out
'Dru5232321' connected

Michael (Jericho): Sorry for delay sigh
Michael (Jericho): :D
Michael (Jericho): And Hey Carissa!
Michael (Jericho): And everyone else!

Michael (Jericho): I assume
Lemon (Levi Reed): Alphabetical
Carissa: lol
Carissa: Hi Ryan, Ryan, Michael, Ryan, and others.
Michael (Jericho): Who's on first?
Dru5232321: You have no idea how much work it is logging in as someone, saying something, logging out, and then logging in as someone else to reply
Carissa: lol
BOB warm smile
Dru5232321: Much less trying to mimick their speech patterns. I use ChatGPT just so I can pretend I read as much as Carissa.
Michael (Jericho): You could have two laptops open with FGU
BOB so we have our group for tonight
Carissa: hahaha
Dru5232321: ...Michael, I wish you had said that 30 minutes ago...
Lemon (Levi Reed): I read a lot too :(
Michael (Jericho): Yeah well. I was swearing at people in Traffic 30 min ago
Michael (Jericho): I'm in Phoenix to help my grandfather.
Dru5232321: oh....
Michael (Jericho): It's actually hilarious, but since I bought my house four months ago, I've spent more time in PHX then home! :D
Dru5232321: Yeah, I thought about moving to Phoenix and my wife replied to tell me that she was thinking about divorcing me.
Michael (Jericho): In actuallity, my family and I think it's funny
Michael (Jericho): OH GOD
Michael (Jericho): WHY RYAN?
Dru5232321: Phoenix, man
Michael (Jericho): This is the ninth circle at least
Michael (Jericho): Maybe 8
Lemon (Levi Reed): I just... has anyone suggested couples counseling?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): 10th
Dru5232321: As soon as I told her that we wouldn't move, she told me how happy she is married to me
Michael (Jericho): LOL
Michael (Jericho): I'd be glad to be married to you too
Michael (Jericho): You know what I mean
Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL
Michael (Jericho): To preempt that
Dru5232321: I am in Utah so.... let's get a polygamist compound
Michael (Jericho): Hey! I'm in Utah too! But let's not!
Michael (Jericho): :)
Dru5232321: LOL
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm trying to talk Carissa into a commune
Michael (Jericho): Moab is so much nicer this time of year
Carissa (Vee Barlett): You gotta move up here for that
Lemon (Levi Reed): I said I would!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Right but as retirement and/or if I find a duplex
BOB So my first thing for tonight is: Lemon contribtued to the 30th anniversary planning but what else do we need
Carissa (Vee Barlett): OR I convince the state to pay for a tiny house which they will
Michael (Jericho): At least you wouldn't be Blackrock in that scenario
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Is someone picking me up from the airport?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ha! I did my homework more than anybody this week!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): And will you make sure Lee doesn't hit any state?
Dru5232321: Up until I was 16, I seriously considered joining a monastery.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Never too late!
Michael (Jericho): Hell, looking back Ryan, I probably would too. I hate peopl
Dru5232321: I'll tell my wife... on the phone... while she is 10 states away
Michael (Jericho): I'm so stoked for next week
Michael (Jericho): Any hurricanes in bound bob?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Lee
Carissa (Vee Barlett): And some more depressions
Lemon (Levi Reed): I need a hosue bigger than a tiny house, sorry
BOB I am picking Carissa up at the airport and dropping her off on Sunday
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Margot. didn't realize she got named today
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Yayyyy! Thanks!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Well, we'll have to see what the state will pay for.
Dru5232321: So.... how will remote work for the thingie that we are doing at that time and place that we talked about
BOB No current plan for a hurricane
Michael (Jericho): Oh damn. When are you flying in Cariss?
Michael (Jericho): I'll already be there with a rental car
Michael (Jericho): Flying into FLL?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Friday morning, out Sunday. But you are my ride from hotel to Bob's
Michael (Jericho): Ah, Okay.Yeah sorry I land at 3:30, and was lucky for it
Carissa (Vee Barlett): So Bob has airport driving, and you can do hotel driving, please and thanks!
Michael (Jericho): But, knowing my luck I'll miss my transfer and be four hours late
Michael (Jericho): Sigh
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'll be next door at the Marriott. When I finally make that reservation.
Michael (Jericho): NP at all :)
Michael (Jericho): You still haven't?
BOB We are here for Friday and Saturday for everyone but Ryan brings up a good point. Does anyone want to "stream" for others playing? I can post to Teams or StreamYard so we have audio and video sharing or we can use Discoard
Michael (Jericho): Good lord
Michael (Jericho): I can bring a Teams setup and Shotgun mic
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Nah, but I make them for work all the time the night before so I have time. And if I can't, I'll crash with Lemon and Spring on the floor.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Not me. I hate camera. And my laptop couldn't handle it.
BOB My question Michael is for people like Ryan, Lemon, etc. if they want to be on camera for the rest of the group, not to the public but just to the group
Dru5232321: I'm shocked that BOB got what I was talking about. I was being as obtuse as possible
Michael (Jericho): I already teach college students, I don't care if anyone sees me in my natural habitat. Grungy clothes and D&D while everyone gets hammered
Carissa (Vee Barlett): So Bob needs to interpret the answers you give Lemon....
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Probably wouldn't hurt
Michael (Jericho): Anyone that doesn't we don't have to do that
Michael (Jericho): Don't want to make you uncomfortable
Matthias Crowtooth: Oh, are we going to be in our natural state? I'll make sure the kids aren't in the room, then
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): ooc
Lemon (Levi Reed): Um, yeah no thank you to camera. I'm planning on being in pajamas most of the time
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'll sit in the back corner so you can barely make out that I am alive and with both kidneys, but nothing else.
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I'll make sure to have my cat filter on
BOB TMO had mentioned the idea
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Cat filters for everyone?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Purrfect
Michael (Jericho): Well okay then! Easy does it :) No worries Lemon
BOB Zero expecation just want to be sure that we have the option for voice at least for everyone
Michael (Jericho): I can do a headcam on my face with voice as a compromise?
Michael (Jericho): I can point the Mic towards you guys, rather then the video
Michael (Jericho): Up to you
Vee Barlett: (LINK)

Vee Barlett: (LINK)
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Not sure why it did that...
Michael (Jericho): Hm not letting me click on link
Michael (Jericho): odd
Michael (Jericho): Is one of them "Every Breath You Take?"
Jericho: Cause I was hoping someone would post that lol
Michael (Jericho): Cause I was hoping someone would post that lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): Did you click the little box?
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): That was what I was thinking of, Carissa :)
Vee Barlett: (LINK)
Michael (Jericho): Hm
Michael (Jericho): Odd
Lemon (Levi Reed): Not click and drag, just click
Lemon (Levi Reed): Only the little box
Michael (Jericho): Oh my god. The discord
Michael (Jericho): I'm dying
BOB LOL
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I love that one so much
Lemon (Levi Reed): I love that the youngest one is also the most out of touch with the pop culture
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): And I'm pretty out of touch. I just accidentally put a "the" in front of it, like us olds do
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Tell you what. If a character permanently turns into a cat this session, I will be completely honest and truthful to Lemon... for the next seession
BOB so does Carissa, Michael, Lemon have more to add for the next weekend?
Lemon (Levi Reed): No thanks, that would probably ruin your charm
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): The fact that I have charm is the most shocking thing you lot have ever told me
Michael (Jericho): I'll be bringing a damn ugly ass outfit. Be ready for takinga picture someone
Carissa (Vee Barlett): if I think of things I'll let you knoe
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Even more than the fact that Carissa isn't an actual cat in a human suit
Michael (Jericho): She's actualyl three, but who's counting
Carissa (Vee Barlett): shhhhhhhhhhhh
BOB and then the second thing is does anyone have any additional comments about the previous story arcs? the things that I asked last week?
BOB I think that Spring needs Diet Coke, not Pepsi, and Lemon needs either but NOT Diet
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Full disclosure... work was... a lot this week and I spent what little time I wasn't working crying into my hands, and didn't even look at the stuff you asked me to do
BOB Zero worries Ryan
BOB you can answer now if you like
Michael (Jericho): Oh! one last thing. Bob, Can I zelle you like twenty bucks for Diet Coke or something?
Lemon (Levi Reed): I said coffee and water is enough
BOB No to Michael
Michael (Jericho): Or I can probably pick up at a Walgreens if you have that over there
Lemon (Levi Reed): lol
Michael (Jericho): I can get a list if people need stuff
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Lemonade, please
Lemon (Levi Reed): Michael, you truly live in the middle of nowhere
Michael (Jericho): Done
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Otherwise water is fine for me
Michael (Jericho): Diet Coke, Lemonade
Michael (Jericho): Making a list here
Michael (Jericho): Discord and I'll stop
Michael (Jericho): and pick
Carissa (Vee Barlett): And a second for Lemon's dark room request except for me it might be due to migraines
Michael (Jericho): Aspirin it is
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok so I know you said breakfast at your place, but I am a eat breakfast out person, are there any reall good diners nearby? I will just take a Lyft and go by myself and join up with everyone after
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): If you could have mimosas ready for me, I'd appreciate it. I won't be able to drink them, but if they are in camera-view at all times, I'd appreciate it
Michael (Jericho): I don't drink, you'll have to ask bob :)
Michael (Jericho): For that one
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Does FL have diners?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh my goddddddd I didn't even think about mimosas
Levi Reed: I will drink ALL YOUR MIMOSAS
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Neither do I. But I'd appreciate them being there for the aesthetics
Lemon (Levi Reed): But it works
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Will a picture of a mimosa suffice?
Michael (Jericho): Ah, actually Carissa how soon do you want to be at Bob's Saturday?
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): ....As long as Michael is holding the picture at all times, yes
Michael (Jericho): I don't mind getting up early, but I'll need some serious caffiene
Levi Reed: I've been thinking about this place
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I want to sleep in. Or attempt....
Levi Reed: (LINK)
<a href="https://gemeatery.com/">(LINK)</a>
Michael (Jericho): So...like 10 AM Sound good?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I am NOT a morning person so we're good there. Probably 10ish?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Yes
Michael (Jericho): Perfect
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I mean as long as we don't miss breakfast there
Michael (Jericho): If we do, I'll buy you breakfast lol
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Keep in mind the time difference. 10AM Florida time will be about 7AM California time...
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'll raid hotel for tea and a quick breakfast, but I want Bob's house breakfast
Michael (Jericho): I'm not a morning person either
Carissa (Vee Barlett): But what if Mario makes those potaotes??
Michael (Jericho): I mean, yes, but I'll look like a crack addicted badger
Lemon (Levi Reed): Wait, they're breakfast potatoes?
Michael (Jericho): THE BEST
Carissa (Vee Barlett): It's ok. The dark room can also be for you to hide away.
BOB Zero idea or commitment to Mario making potatoes
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I need pictures of Michael as a crack-addicted badger, please
Carissa (Vee Barlett): SHHHHHHHHHHH don't tell Michael yet and break his heart!
Michael (Jericho): I boy do I have a picture for you
Michael (Jericho): Ryan
Lemon (Levi Reed): If there are breakfast potatoes, I'm in. I can still go somewhere Friday though
Michael (Jericho): haha
Michael (Jericho): So bob, are we basically spending this session prepping for the two big sessions at your place?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): All i know is I do need to eat breakfast or else things go bad
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I hope not
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I didn't log on TO PLAN
Michael (Jericho): Worst case, I'm sure their's a waffle house. Or we can doordash a restaurant
Michael (Jericho): LOL
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Good poitns
Lemon (Levi Reed): Carissa, what snacks do we need
Michael (Jericho): Carissa, for planning
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Whatever snacks aren't at Bob's
Lemon (Levi Reed): Also, BOB, does your town have like a "downtown" area with weird little touristy shops? Because I want to go there
Michael (Jericho): My rule is I stop once :)
Michael (Jericho): So make sure the discord shopping list is complete
BOB LOL with Carissa
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Very fair
Lemon (Levi Reed): No, that's what I'm asking. What snacks do we need for BOB's. I'm bad at snack planning but GREAT at snack eating
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I can drive to Michael's, hand over some meat in my family teriaki marinade, and make him hold it for the plane ride through customs
Michael (Jericho): Lemon, go see the alligators. Who cares about tourism when you have ancient dinosaurs
Lemon (Levi Reed): meh
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Also it's very stormy here in case I lose power
BOB Sorry back here totally focused
Michael (Jericho): ?
BOB Yes to Lemon on touristy things, this is FLORIDA
Michael (Jericho): The retirement state?
Michael (Jericho): Or is that discrimination
Lemon (Levi Reed): But like, is it a walking area?
Michael (Jericho): Sorry
BOB Yes to Lemon Michael and everyone breakfast on Saturday and Sunday is here at the house
BOB there will be lots of food and things
Lemon (Levi Reed): Also, how far is Lighthouse Point? There's a bead store there....
Michael (Jericho): Oops, I will not be there Sunday Morning. I uh, didn't think about that. My bad
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah Sunday I'm leaving at like 4am, but thank you
Michael (Jericho): I'll be ending the session at Midnight at your place, and then driving to Orlando
BOB no to Lemon to walking from where you are staying, but on Sunday depending on Spring you could visit Lighthouse Point
BOB OUCH on the early flight for Lemon
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, no I don't need spring, I'm used to not driving
Lemon (Levi Reed): Is there a like "downtown" walkable tourist area? I would take a car to there
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): That's only Florida time... If you calculate time difference from where she is used to.... oh, yeah, that sucks
Michael (Jericho): We shall research Touristy areas
BOB Seriously Lemon I can do drivign for you on Friday, depending on your's and Spring schedules
Lemon (Levi Reed): Wait, I found one in Davie Florida that looks closer? Bead Need
BOB There are lots of touristy type things Lemon
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I hear that there is this place in-state that caters to those who like Disney products. Even has rides and food places
Lemon (Levi Reed): I legitimately don't need driving. I just want to see the town
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): One for Universal Studios as well
BOB I will ask my wife for beads for you
Lemon (Levi Reed): Walk around downtown. Get a coffee. Go shopping
BOB The place where you are staying is much suburbia
BOB Than that beach tourist strip
Lemon (Levi Reed): Even Suburbia's sometimes have like a "main street" type downtown
BOB BUT we will make it work for you
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Farmer's market?
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Those are always fun to visit
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ooooh, there's one called Life Stones, Gems, and Minerals. Carrisa? You insterested?
Lemon (Levi Reed): That one is in Sunrise
BOB Too bad Angelica is not in, she is in Davie
Lemon (Levi Reed): There's a whole store for Asian Decor
Lemon (Levi Reed): "Buddha Happy"
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Not sure. Depends how I feel. I'll likely not do too much.
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok but how far is Davie?
BOB On the Discord please put in arrivals and departures Lemon and we will try to make everything work out
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): If you want Asian Decor, I can just invite you to my next yardsale
BOB LOL Ryan
BOB Close but not always convienent is what I will say for everything in Broward Lemon
Lemon (Levi Reed): I do what I want!
Michael (Jericho): I think I need a stiff Diet coke. I shall be right back
BOB I drove over 100 miles in one day last week and never left the County, just went from Library to LIbrary to Library
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): And this is why I wanted to be a librarian when I was younger
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Pfffftt only 100 miles? :P
Michael (Jericho): Bob, can I have a job?
BOB Also I have the Submarine, and VR here at the house for Friday day and Sunday morning
Michael (Jericho): That is like...my heaven
Michael (Jericho): My Libraries Great Again, you know, because it seems NM
BOB Good
BOB so we have settled that we need more discussion on the Discord about next week
BOB NOW more discussion about Last Week and the previous story arcs
Michael (Jericho): When last we left our....
Michael (Jericho): I thought it was great
BOB As Carissa and Lemon pointed out it was like a book talk summary points
BOB I do want to make sure I hear feedback and help everyone enjoy
BOB and also comment on things that could be better
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): More teamkilling, please
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Nah, it was good. I enjoyed myself
Michael (Jericho): Honestly bob, I did think about it over the week, but frankly I think we are all so used to being a good level with lots of options, that it wouldn't really be fair to comment. The story is great so far. Some tentative mysteries to solve. Money to be made. It's D&D bob's style. You know I'm down for it
BOB One thing that Angelica mentioned was the caves and having people move out of the way, with the five foot spaces opening into caverns that were larger, to have people move more so that other characters could move up
Michael (Jericho): Oh god, yes, that Sucked
BOB It is totally fair to comment and add to the group knowledge
BOB This next story arc about to start will give more options
BOB I want to be sure I am giving the right paths to tempt you to follow
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, the cave was a struggle
BOB How could we have done the cave better?
Jericho: Smoked out whatever was in it
Michael (Jericho): Smoked out whatever was in it
BOB You are in an area where there will be more of them
Michael (Jericho): Oh shit
Michael (Jericho): Huh
Michael (Jericho): Collapse them then
Michael (Jericho): :D
BOB Not Swamps TM
Michael (Jericho): Well
BOB You have hills, mountains, seas, rivers, lakes, etc
Michael (Jericho): If we have a lot of them, can we have a standard formation? Something that is autogenerated?
BOB the map shows you LOTS of new terrains
BOB No to Michael, that is the problem
Michael (Jericho): Hm
BOB It has to be something that the group thinks about
BOB That the group can adjust to and make work
BOB How should could the group communicate better on that?
BOB both IC and OOC
Michael (Jericho): You won't like it bob
Michael (Jericho): Voice
Michael (Jericho): To hard over chat
BOB For example, I told Angelica "Tell michel to move next time" etc
BOB and that is the key thing Michael, it has to be on/in chat
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah people just need to quit trying to be so nice and be more blunt
BOB If you cannot think it out logically and clearly to type it then speaking it will not help either
BOB Good point Lemon
Lemon (Levi Reed): However, I'm a fighter, I was staying there to murder no matter what
Michael (Jericho): It's not that bob, I swear
Michael (Jericho): It's that
Michael (Jericho): Like sending a chain of emails at work takes 2 hours
Michael (Jericho): Wherea ten min phone call works
Michael (Jericho): But I understand
Lemon (Levi Reed): Speaking it does help, because the thoughts can be batted around faster and a conclusion reached faster. But I don't really want to do voice chat
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm used to this now
BOB remember also ZERO critisim to anyone, we are all learning/relearning how characters interact
Michael (Jericho): I can be blunt, but I AM afraid of being an asshole unintentionally
Lemon (Levi Reed): I know, you apologize for the most random shit
Michael (Jericho): Eh, not random to me.
BOB Everyone here should understand that there are Pause and Stop buttons if they feel they need an explination
Lemon (Levi Reed): Anyway, no one here thinks you're an asshole
BOB and we are all friends and we all want the best for the game
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ryan, on the other hand... my jury's still out on that guy
BOB Ahhh thank you Lemon
BOB LOL
Michael (Jericho): So, I do have a generalized suggestion. If no one wants (Oh trust me Lemon, I sometimes am :) ), to be the leader, then we rotate leadership per session where they can provide a more enahnced structure> "Go here, bless there, attack here"
Michael (Jericho): It's faster and you can always pass leadership that session if you don't want to do it
Michael (Jericho): It's why I always just deferred to Bran, because we got moving faster
Michael (Jericho): Thoughts?
BOB I think that is workable Michael in someone say... Carissa you are in charge right now what do you want us to do as an example
Lemon (Levi Reed): Heck no, I refuse to be in a leadership position
BOB warm chuckle Lemon will be in charge very sooon.... foreshadowing
Michael (Jericho): Then that's totally fine. And suggestions during the game are welcome, it just provides a more rigid command structure.
Michael (Jericho): Someone to heard cats that session
Michael (Jericho): herd
Michael (Jericho): good god
BOB I have heard cats too, and not helping
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah the cats are useless either way
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Sorry you were planning so I went to distract myself elsewhere
Michael (Jericho): And I mean, people like Vee will be "Who died and made you leader?" and I'll just have to figure out a way to make it work. But the more complicated, we extend by sometimes two to three sessions. And, that is a fact
BOB LOL with Carissa
BOB They put you in charge
Michael (Jericho): I'm down
Michael (Jericho): I like when Carissa is in charge
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I kind of thought I was already but sure, I like official
Lemon (Levi Reed): But yeah, a lot of it I think was just tied up in the small space. In order for one person to move, you had to wait for five other people to move. I don't think there's a way around the situation, when you can only fit two people next to each other
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Now gimme 3 minutes to wrap something up
Michael (Jericho): Great! Vee is leader
Michael (Jericho): Whew. Dodged a bullet guys :)
Michael (Jericho): And I mean, if it's not fun that way, totally understandable. I'm just hoping it can narrow down options quicker. As carissa has a pretty good grasp on what each character class can do, it might help
The date is Trall____, 1st Fey (Winter), 586 SGR

Michael (Jericho): I know my spells, but Carissa knows ALL the spells. Same with TMO
The time is 1:26 PM
Michael (Jericho): I feel awkward. Is this bad? Feedback?
The time is 2:06 PM
BOB warm smile Michael, zero awkward
Lemon (Levi Reed): Carissa does know a lot of things, and she can look up what she doesn't know very fast
Lemon (Levi Reed): I second the motion of putting Carissa in charge
Michael (Jericho): Well Lorie was a Six Sigma Blackbelt, but she's not here to PM us :)
BOB I am running with that
Michael (Jericho): Excellent :)
BOB Next is everyone is at full Hit Points and it is a handful of days after you saved the farmer from the Chupacabra
Michael (Jericho): Uh, did we though?
BOB various things on the site have been updated
Michael (Jericho): Did notice that
Michael (Jericho): Bob's a busy bee
Michael (Jericho): ;)
BOB Jericho has been at the Temple preparing for the feast
The group has had a couple of days of rest from their experience saving the Malkin family from the cupacabra.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (ah shoot sorry taking a little longe,r one sec)
User has gone AFK. (Carissa)
BOB Matthias has been out on his ship and has returned without leaving port
BOB Levi and Vee have been at the Seven Sirens,
Michael (Jericho): The bar they own?
BOB the rest of the group has visited them there
BOB the bar that Vee's sister works at
Michael (Jericho): (Joke)
BOB You do not own it ..... yet
Matthias Crowtooth: hums a sea shanty to himself
Michael (Jericho): (Yet? Oh this should be good :) ) I'm alreaady hooked
BOB Tomorrow is a very big day
BOB There is a big ceremony at the Temple and the Baron from Osterhold is there with his family and entrourage
This is a special event that mostly nobles and church members attend. It is both a ceremony and a celebration.
BOB and
Everyone received an invite to the Temple of Orange Sunsets to attend the ceremonial "sealing of the bottles" celebration for the completion of the latest distilling of rum.
BOB Yes your group of low level adventurers has been invited to this celebration
Michael (Jericho): Huh
BOB As a reward apparently for your service to the Temple in dealing with the chupacabra
Lemon (Levi Reed): Psh, these temple people are pushovers
Lemon (Levi Reed): We're like 12
Lemon (Levi Reed): Those guys are dumb
Michael (Jericho): 16, but who's counting ;)
BOB chuckles
Lemon (Levi Reed): Look, IC, I'm counting. But as an old person... 16 might as well be 12
Michael (Jericho): Im sure we eyeroll at all the high level preiests
Michael (Jericho): And backsass, but only when they can't hear
BOB Ava and Jericho can tell you that they have never been allowed in the celebration portion, only the work part of sealing the casks, etc.
Lemon (Levi Reed): Question... does anyone here drink many energy drinks?
BOB This is an anual event
Michael (Jericho): (not realyl no)
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Not that many. Usually stop when I start getting heart palpitations
BOB No to Lemon, I do have a power that I add to my gatorade/water once a day, has B12 etc in it
BOB BUt all my caffeene comes from diet Pepsi
BOB Or just being BOB
Lemon (Levi Reed): This coworker... who has a host of other red flags... keeps bringing a mystery drink in her bottle every day, and it LOOKS like wine, but she says it's an energy drink
Michael (Jericho): Diet Pepsi?
Michael (Jericho): I think I just felt a part of my soul leave my body
BOB Do you need diet Coke Michael? I am planning on getting some for the group
Lemon (Levi Reed): My grandmother used to try and trick me into drinking caffiene free pepsi, but I can taste the difference
Michael (Jericho): Don't worry, I'm serously probably going to stop. Save you a trip
BOB We will have amazing coffee here
BOB Full capacino machine in the kitchen
BOB Esspresso sorry
Michael (Jericho): Although, in the Game world, is this part of the world TONS of celebration?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Michael, you do what you want, but I have a feeling if you stop somewhere, there will end up being more drinks than the group can drink in a weekend
Michael (Jericho): LIke, every other day?
Michael (Jericho): Oh don't worry. I'll take the rest for my week in Orlando
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, but I like garbage coffee, do you also have that?
Michael (Jericho): Why I'm stopping
BOB chuckles lemon we will try to tone it down for you, I do not drink coffee so she will adjust for you
BOB any questions as you hang out in the bar? hearing about this invitation that the group has gotten?
BOB as you wait for Carissa to return
Lemon (Levi Reed): The other option is usually at grocery stores now you can just buy a big jug of iced coffee, which is absolute garbage and presweetened and way overpriced, and if you go that route, I'm happy to pay for it
Michael (Jericho): (an OOC one for the game world ((see above)), but other then that, not really sure
BOB NO ONE is paying for anything this weekend! You paid for your flights and hotel
Matthias Crowtooth: So... do we have to dress fancy for this? Because this is my only outfit
Jericho: I'm planning on my standard robes to be honest
Jericho: They didn't exactly give a dress code, but do the best you can. I'm sure you can pull it off
Jericho: Smiles
BOB Yes to Michael for lots of celebrations all year round but this is a special one because the Baron is coming over the mountain to the Temple to help celebrate
Matthias Crowtooth: Eh, if anyone says anything, I'll just smile and pretend that I can't speak Common
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (It works in real life too)
Jericho: You're a dashing character
Jericho: It will be fine
Levi Reed: Oh, I think I'm going to need Vee's help if we have to be fancy
BOB and everyone should be dressed in their very best
Jericho: Chokes on water
Jericho: Er, I like Vee
Jericho: But
Matthias Crowtooth: amused
Jericho: I'm scared she might...say something?
Michael (Jericho): or dress odly?
Jericho: or dress odly?
Levi Reed: Oh she's absolutely going to embarrass you
Jericho: Sigh
Levi Reed: Part of her charm
BOB The Baron of Osterhold does control the north eastern and beyond part of Borinquin
Jericho: Can you like...ask her nicely not to at my home?
Jericho: I would never do anything to embarass her in hers
Levi Reed: I mean, I could
Levi Reed: And I would
Jericho: Swear on Locrin
Levi Reed: If I wanted a broken rib or something
BOB Remember Island KINGDOMS which implies......
Jericho: Fine
Jericho: Grumbles
Jericho: I'll ask nicely. And bribeher
Jericho: I'm sure that sets a bad precedent
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oh, shoot. I forgot that. So we are on ISLANDS. That explains so much
Jericho: But
Jericho: Shrugs
Image: Borinquen
Levi Reed: Are you holy types allowed to bribe?
Lemon (Levi Reed): lol
Jericho: Shrugs.
Jericho: It's a gift
BOB I encourage you to zoom in on that map in the NW
Jericho: Words are such fickle things, don't you agree?
BOB there are towns there now,
BOB Agowah where the Temple is, Achild where the Seven Sirens are, Lemonshire is there too
BOB and Osterhold at the end of that road
Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, I thought you meant the temple map
Lemon (Levi Reed): And I was like, yes, very nice cracks in the floor, good job
BOB Warm smile thank you
Michael (Jericho): So bob. Game question on the kingdoms

Michael (Jericho): Wow. Well plenty of hiding spots for unsavory types. lots of room for mysterious areas and creatures
BOB and several Barons
Michael (Jericho): We know how to pick em!
Michael (Jericho): So, who's going to be the first baron in our group?

BOB WOW it is almost like BOB planned this back in 2009 or earlier...... imagine that

Lemon (Levi Reed): brb getting snacks

BOB 1983/84 but yes
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Hey, that's when I started too

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Well, when I WAS started
BOB I have maps, and story arcs, and so many fun things to take us into 2030
Michael (Jericho): Secretly, Bob was on ARPANET sending DM messages between Universities...
Michael (Jericho): Well, i'm still alive, I'll hopefully be here.
Michael (Jericho): But that does help with world understanding thank you
Michael (Jericho): Hm
Michael (Jericho): What else
Michael (Jericho): Is this the MAJOR town/port here on this island bob?
Michael (Jericho): With the Temple
BOB Yes and No
Michael (Jericho): More then one?
BOB The Temple of the Orange Sunsets sends things down river to Achild or over the road over the mountain spur to Osterhold
BOB But this is only the Northwest corner of the Island
User is back. (Carissa)
Michael (Jericho): Oh...So we aren't on the Ocean right now
BOB No one has explored or lived more than a couple of miles away from this
Michael (Jericho): Because the river wouldn't go taht way
Carissa (Vee Barlett): sorry took much longer than expected - like PLANNING
BOB Yes you are
BOB Achild is on the ocean
Michael (Jericho): GRR
Michael (Jericho): Thank you

BOB There are over a million people on this island
Michael (Jericho): COUGHS
Michael (Jericho): WHAT?
BOB Zoom out and back in
Michael (Jericho): A MILLION?
BOB There are many thousands in Osterhold
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm sorry what... Michael... were you too young to see the "rise of the internet"????
Lemon (Levi Reed): God, I'm getting so old
Lemon (Levi Reed): It hurts
BOB LOL with Lemon
Michael (Jericho): I saw Dial Up Rise, but not the beginning
Michael (Jericho): A million?
Michael (Jericho): Just
Michael (Jericho): How?
Lemon (Levi Reed): I've been considering going to goodwill and getting like, phones that plug into the wall and cassette players and crap like that to show the kids at school
BOB and for Carissa and others, there is LOTS of water all over, look at that lake up in the mountains, with waterfalls and rivers decending down to the sea
Michael (Jericho): Maui hasless then 200,000!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yay water!
Michael (Jericho): I mean, how is this port not like Tokyo if this is the case
Michael (Jericho): I'm literally awestruck
Vee Barlett: ok but... if we don't start playing soon, I'm gonna go back to my earlier distraction....
BOB Because this is not the tenth largest port on the island?
BOB It is a hundred miles across
BOB with hundreds of miles of shoreline
Matthias Crowtooth: rifles through Jericho's coinpouch while he is distracted
BOB and the map that is also shared with the Northern Island group with all the other local islands
Michael (Jericho): Er, well...Hawii (Island) is 93 Miles accross
Levi Reed: Vee, what am I going to wear tonight? We have to dress fancy
BOB Also Ava will opine on the Five Sisters later on about the five mountain peaks you have
Vee Barlett: How fancy?
Levi Reed: "very best" is what I heard
BOB Baron of Osterhold, family and retainers fancy
Vee Barlett: Show me what you have. Your fashion taste isn't THAT bad. Usually.
Jericho: Oh thank gods
Vee Barlett: Maybe that white button-down with the ruffle collar?
Jericho: Quietly under his breath
Levi Reed: I don't have anythign that qualifies as "very best"
Levi Reed: Oh, my date outfit!
Vee Barlett: Have you shined your shoes lately?
Jericho: Suprised
Vee Barlett: Yeah, but maybe... with a vest? And buttoned UP this time?
Levi Reed: No, but I feel like Jericho might be the shoeshiner type
Jericho: Vee, I er...didn't know you knew how to be so charming.
Vee Barlett: Hmm? Why wouldn't I be?
Vee Barlett: Just look at me.
Jericho: Well.....
Jericho: Trails off
Vee Barlett: grins
Vee Barlett: Ahh just joshin' you!
Vee Barlett: elbows him
Jericho: You do look good, just er, more rough and tumble then I'm used to?
BOB slipping away as you continue
Levi Reed: He's worried you're going to embarrass us at the fancy party
Jericho: EXHALES as the elbow hits
Jericho: I DIN"T SAY THAT!
Jericho: Quickly
Vee Barlett: But yeah, you can't have two dads like mine without learnin' SOMETHING.
Vee Barlett: I'm not promisin' anything.
Levi Reed: By "us" I mean him. I'm not sure I've ever been embarrassed
Jericho: never?
Vee Barlett: Just look at him!
Levi Reed: Nothing comes to mind
Matthias Crowtooth: Eh, I'm going as is. Maybe I'll tie back my hair or something...
Vee Barlett: If THAT isn't an embarrassment in and of itself, nothing will embarrass him.
Jericho: I don't know
Vee Barlett: nods for Matty
Levi Reed: grins
Vee Barlett: Show off that neck of yours. It is a good asset.
Jericho: he looks kind of dashing in a roguish kind of way
Levi Reed: winks at Jericho
Jericho: I'm sure there will be some swooning
Matthias Crowtooth: tosses his hair theatrically
Vee Barlett: laughs
Jericho: Snorts
Vee Barlett: He's used to that, but I'm sure he'll still be flattered.
Levi Reed: Didn't know you were the swooning type, Jericho
Levi Reed: I look forward to seeing it
Jericho: Frankly, I'm more jealous of your attitude
Jericho: I'm terrified
Vee Barlett: Ain't that what happened at the cave? Swooned himself faint?
Matthias Crowtooth: Blood loss may have had a hand in that as well
Jericho: This is my home. I really just want to mingle, and then hide as soon as I can
Jericho: Im not good with people....as you so obviously have noted
Jericho: I heal them....not talk to them if possible
Matthias Crowtooth: Mingle and hide? Ah, cutpursing. Gotcha
Jericho: Groans
Levi Reed: snickers
Jericho: Locrin save me
Matthias Crowtooth: pats his shoulder
Jericho: I feel slightly ill in the stomach
Vee Barlett: Well you gotta learn at some point!
Matthias Crowtooth: withdraws the hand
Matthias Crowtooth: Sorry
Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, that reminds me... how do I find where I wrote down what god I follow and stuff? I might have forgotten...
Jericho: Can you learn cutpursing, literally anywhere else?
Jericho: Oh!
Jericho: That reminds me
Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, nevermind, it's in my notes
Jericho: I wondered if you guys would like to explore more of the island?
Jericho: I'm sure we are busy and all
Jericho: But I had hoped to purchase a more detailed map
Jericho: I won't say cave diving was...fun per say
BOB map of what?
Jericho: But it was kind of...you...know....profitable?
Levi Reed: Absolutely. I've been on the hunt for an almond doppleganger
Michael (Jericho): (THIS island if possible. Is that okay bob?)
Michael (Jericho): (One for us to have more detail?)
Vee Barlett: A what?
Michael (Jericho): (Since we have not explroed it very well)
BOB The image you have is the best you will get for now
Levi Reed: Almond Doppleganger
Michael (Jericho): (No maps?)
Matthias Crowtooth: A doppelganger that looks like an almond?
Levi Reed: Kind of like a chupacabra but bigger, with more fangs
BOB Once you go out and adventure you will see/find more
Vee Barlett: Ahh, I thought you said All Men Doppleganger
Levi Reed: Wouldn't say no to one of those
Michael (Jericho): (I agree with the concept bob, just was a little suprised)
Levi Reed: The variety!
Vee Barlett: we'll find you one of both.
Levi Reed: Nah, I don't want to make Jericho jealous
BOB Grins with Michael, I am prepared to entice you to move out from home
Jericho: Or, I hear there is a paper shortage
Levi Reed: Not this early in our relationship
Jericho: Maybe we could make our own?
Jericho: Shrugs
Vee Barlett: I dunno, he's very unaware. He may not notice.
Jericho: I'd like to hang out more
Levi Reed: You make a fair point
Vee Barlett: I'd like you to hang out more, too. It costs less to drink!
Vee Barlett: grins
Jericho: Sighs
Jericho: Yes well. Turns out adventures can be profitable
Vee Barlett: But sialing? I'd like to go sailing. Only got my canoe for now.
Jericho: Who knew
Matthias Crowtooth: holds up Jericho's coinpouch.
Vee Barlett: Apparently you. You never adventured before?
Matthias Crowtooth: He's paying for the next rounds
Levi Reed: That was a rescue mission
Jericho: Scrowls
Levi Reed: Not an adventure
Vee Barlett: high fives Matty
Jericho: I love sailing
Levi Reed: Adventure involves the sea
Jericho: I just
Jericho: Well
Jericho: I have an obligation to the Chruch for now
BOB Vee can take her canoe up river to the Temple if she wants for the celebration
Vee Barlett: You can't SEE more without the SEA
Jericho: But I hope to purchase a ship one day
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (heck yes)
Jericho: ABIG ONE
Vee Barlett: Get in line, buddy.
Levi Reed: You trying to compensate for something?
Jericho: laugsh
Jericho: I actually liked that one Levi
Jericho: No
Vee Barlett: Or we can go halvies. You purchase 70% but let me own it. Deal?
Jericho: Uh
Jericho: My math isn't the best
Jericho: but
BOB Sounds reasonable
Matthias Crowtooth: You can do much with 70% of a ship, Vee?
Vee Barlett: DEAL! I got witnesses here!
Jericho: I never agreed to this
Jericho: I never agreed to this
Vee Barlett: You seen me sail lately? Ionly need 50%, but less comfortable if I want a crew.
Jericho: But I would love to go in on one
Jericho: Smiles
Jericho: I want to serve as medical officer
Vee Barlett: I suppose I could make room for you, Jericho.
Levi Reed: Vee, if he keeps giving you his money, you can just buy your own, with HIS money, and he won't even have to own part of it
BOB Cue Levi and boats
Jericho: Dammit I'm a Doctor not a Camptain Vee
Jericho: You're on!
BOB Foreshadowing
Vee Barlett: whispers to Levi, "That's the plan."
Jericho: And stop stealing my money
Jericho: I'm saving up for something
Vee Barlett: Anyways, anyone wanna take my canoe up to the temple? I feel too dry still. My skin is all itchy.
Jericho: Er
BOB Jericho or Matthias care to ask Levi about why he does not have a boat?
Levi Reed: Then you should have taken your damn money instead of threatening to leave it on the ground
Jericho: Do you need that looked at?
Levi Reed: That's on you, buddy
Jericho: Oh!
Jericho: Yeah, that was for you
Jericho: Sorry. I thought you raided my purse
Vee Barlett: No that was the OTHER Levi
Jericho: I don't fight, so I fell MUCH better
Matthias Crowtooth: Totally dropped it, you did. We were just holding it for you.
Jericho: giving you guys your due
Levi Reed: How dare you, I would NEVER
Levi Reed: I would charm the pants off you first
Jericho: Rolls eyes
Vee Barlett: We're the most innocent individuals you'll ever meet!
Matthias Crowtooth: bats eyes
Michael (Jericho): I'll tell you what. I won't poison you instead of healing you, and you could kindly leave my money alone. When I'm not giving you it with intent. And MAYBE, once in a while, drinks will be on me
BOB I think that would be charming the pants off of Ava for Levi
Jericho: I'll tell you what. I won't poison you instead of healing you, and you could kindly leave my money alone. When I'm not giving you it with intent. And MAYBE, once in a while, drinks will be on me
Michael (Jericho): ONCE...in awhile
Jericho: ONCE...in awhile
Lemon (Levi Reed): Nope
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (he only go one way and it ain't that way)
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): roll Charisma?
Michael (Jericho): LOL
Jericho: Sighs
Jericho: anyways
Levi Reed: I guarantee you if I ever get your money, it will be absolutely willingly on your part
Jericho: I've never been in a canoo before
Jericho: May I join?
BOB So charming the pants off of Jericho
Michael (Jericho): No
Matthias Crowtooth: Unless you are dead. In which case you won't be able to object.
Jericho: Shudders
Jericho: Yeah, let's not imagine that
Jericho: Yeah, let's not imagine that
Lemon (Levi Reed): There's a long road ahead, we'll see where it goes
Michael (Jericho): Et Tu Lemon?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Right now he's just teasing him but who knows, maybe he'll start to fall for the guy
Vee Barlett: I got room! Canoe is fun on its own even if I can't go in too deep water off shore.
Matthias Crowtooth: Not with that attitude, you can't
Levi Reed: Canoe is too much manual labor
Jericho: I mean...I can try at least once
Vee Barlett: Well you need good biceps. All the men like good biceps.
Jericho: Looks at Biceps
Jericho: Yeah...
Jericho: I don't have those
BOB Just to double check people did look at the map? see the towns and roads? (foreshadowing)
Jericho: But I can try with the Canoe at least once
Vee Barlett: Well you need more if you want to win Levi's charms, and Levi needs to maintain his to keep his charm.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (nope)
Lemon (Levi Reed): also nope
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (what map)
Image: Borinquen
Levi Reed: I get plenty of bicep workout when I'm out climbing in the woods
Carissa (Vee Barlett): because FG doesn't like opening it, that's why but got it
Michael (Jericho): So I see a island, but it's blank. no roads, no towns
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Well it's either the canoe or you walking uphill, both ways, in your nice shoes.
Vee Barlett: Well it's either the canoe or you walking uphill, both ways, in your nice shoes.
BOB Zoom in on the NW corner of the map
Jericho: I'm for the Canoe thanks
Levi Reed: FINE, but if you get my nice shoes all wet, you're paying the cleanup bill
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Jericho can shine them for you. He seems like he'd be great at it.
Vee Barlett: Jericho can shine them for you. He seems like he'd be great at it.
BOB Hour walk or hour canoe paddling to the Temple, then home from the temple hour walk or half hour canoe
Michael (Jericho): This is what I see bob in discord

Lemon (Levi Reed): Can we label the towns?
BOB Not yet
BOB You need more of them first
Lemon (Levi Reed): But I don't know what anything issssss
Jericho: I'll make a map for you lemon and post to discord
Michael (Jericho): I'll make a map for you lemon and post to discord
BOB Osterhold is the big city, north of where you are, the Temple of Orange Sunsets is there up river, in Agowah, Achild on the coast has Seven Sirens, and just along the coast from there is Lemonshire
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes, thank you!
BOB Also note the map scale you are only a few miles across from the Temple to the coast
BOB LOTS more to explore
BOB both overland and now you see how much of the Coast and rivers, etc

BOB Yes Carissa wins
Carissa (Vee Barlett): YAY
Matthias Crowtooth: Yeah, I really like the name "River Crowtooth". I think I will write it on my map
Matthias Crowtooth: And all of your maps, too.
Vee Barlett: You're gonna piss off some sailors doing that.
[100 XP] -> Vee Barlett
Michael (Jericho): Okay, not going to do a map if everyone else is haha
Matthias Crowtooth: Psh.... What could they....
Matthias Crowtooth: sweats
Matthias Crowtooth: Okay, fine, I won't do that.
Vee Barlett: menacing smiles
Vee Barlett: Good.
BOB As you arrive at the Temple you find the fineries out, the open public spaces are full of flowers
BOB It is obvious that the Baron arrived yesterday
BOB Many of the acoylytes and lower circles are chasing around doing things to prepar
BOB prepare
Marcia Cedillo: Excuse me!
Marcia Cedillo: Who are you?
Marcia Cedillo: Why do you think you can just march in here and walk through areas for guests?
Jericho: We do apologize Ma'am
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (it afternoon or morning?)
Jericho: Here are our invitations
Matthias Crowtooth: Because I have two feet and the way isn't blocked
Jericho: Hands out
BOB (Noon for you)
Jericho: We are just as suprised as you I am certain
Jericho: Smiles
Marcia Cedillo: So you can just leave, looking at Matthias
Matthias Crowtooth: I could, yes
Marcia Cedillo: I have no reason to put up with your crap right now
Matthias Crowtooth: smiles and remains put
Vee Barlett: Mm, yeah, except we got invites.
Marcia Cedillo: WHAT?
Jericho: Continues to hold them out politely
Marcia Cedillo: You!>?!>?!
Marcia Cedillo: What?
Matthias Crowtooth: smiles wider
Jericho: Stoic
Marcia Cedillo: SNATCHES it out of Jericho's hand
Marcia Cedillo: Reads
Matthias Crowtooth: Careful to give that back
Marcia Cedillo: Looks up at you
Marcia Cedillo: reads again
Vee Barlett: smiles
Marcia Cedillo: You are just.... peasents..
Jericho: Thank you for noticing
Jericho: Respectful tone
Marcia Cedillo: Why would you be invited?
Jericho: Shrugs
Jericho: Does it matter?
Matthias Crowtooth: Everyone was once a peasant, if you go back far enough
Levi Reed: Rescued a man from a chupacabra
Matthias Crowtooth: Fell from a cliff
Jericho: And di the temple a service
Jericho: This is my home
Levi Reed: Almost died
Marcia Cedillo: MY family understood their place and rose above it
Matthias Crowtooth: If they understood their place, they would have stayed in it
Jericho: .......Does that mean we cannot as well?
Jericho: Puzzled
Levi Reed: No offense, but your family sounds kind of stuffy
Vee Barlett: A bit salty.
Jericho: The teachings of the church do not tell us we cannot do that
Marcia Cedillo: Opens mouth at Matthias' comment ..... the closes it
Jericho: But if you don'tmind, we are expected.
Jericho: May I have our invitations back?
Marcia Cedillo: Meekly hands it back to Jericho
Jericho: Enjoy the Celebrations
Jericho: Bows
Jericho: Walks away
Marcia Cedillo: I...
Matthias Crowtooth: waves and follows
Marcia Cedillo: Thank you... she whispers
Vee Barlett: waves
Marcia Cedillo: She quietly lets the group go through into the Temple proper
Jericho: Sighs
Jericho: I hate politics
Marcia Cedillo: a deep sigh
Jericho: Whispers
Levi Reed: That wasn't politics, that was a cranky lady
Levi Reed: This place is fancy
Matthias Crowtooth: I liked her
Matthias Crowtooth: beams
Vee Barlett: She doesn't like you. What'd you do to her?
Jericho: I do believe you liked screwing with her Matthias
Jericho: Not her herselfp ersonally
Matthias Crowtooth: Even the rich can serve the greater good
Lemon (Levi Reed): I just... feel like there's an awful lot of Ryan in Matthias right now
Lavada Burrow: HEY!!!!! It is.... umm... Matty right? You are the one with the boat? and the fun ropes?
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (I'll tone it down. Matthias doesn't particularly care for the rich, but that may have been overmuch)
Lavada Burrow: OH WOW yeah it has to be you
Levi Reed: The fun ropes?????
Lavada Burrow: That was so fun
Levi Reed: Matthias, you been holding out on me
Matthias Crowtooth: blushes furiously
Vee Barlett: laughs
Matthias Crowtooth: Uh... well....
Lavada Burrow: WOW how did you get here?
Jericho: Tries not to burst out laughing
Lavada Burrow: Who hired you?
Vee Barlett: Yeah, Matty. Which boat? Why wasn't I on it?
Matthias Crowtooth: Because you would try to claim it as your own
Levi Reed: You into that kind of stuff, Vee?
Vee Barlett: Hmm, fair.
Lavada Burrow: Oh let me tell you everyone is into that, you just have to give them a nudge and then UFFFF it is hard to tell them they have to pay for the next one
Vee Barlett: Boat stealin? Maybe. Rope tying? Yes. But with people? Eh, not sure.
Matthias Crowtooth: Sometimes you have to tie people us to steal the rope, Vee.
Levi Reed: Jericho, you want to try out the fun ropes sometime?
Jericho: Thinks
Jericho: What do you do with them?
Jericho: I've never heard of "Fun Ropes"
Matthias Crowtooth: Toss them overboard?
Matthias Crowtooth: Onto the dock, not.... into the water. That would be murder... I think
Levi Reed: Only if their pa walks in
Jericho: Uh...
Lavada Burrow: OOHHHH Matty is doing the dangling trick now
Jericho: Confused
Lavada Burrow: That is hard
Jericho: I think I'll pass if that's alright?
Lavada Burrow: well, you hope he is
Vee Barlett: He can dangle? I only thought he could fall.
Michael (Jericho): Whipers to Vee "We ARE talking about ropes right?....Right?"
Jericho: Whipers to Vee "We ARE talking about ropes right?....Right?"
Levi Reed: Dangling is nothing but a fall interrupted
Matthias Crowtooth: laughs awkwardly, and lightly pushes Vee away
Vee Barlett: whispers back, "Yes. But no."
Vee Barlett: whispers back, "Yes. But no."
Vee Barlett: holds up hands and walks away
Vee Barlett: Sorry, didn't know I was getting between you and your crush.
Matthias Crowtooth: opens mouth, pauses, closes it
Lavada Burrow: Oh no Matty is not a crush, he is not into that sort of thing
Jericho: Holds hands up and steps back
Jericho: Holds hands up and steps back
Jericho: I'm staying out of this
Jericho: Rushes after Vee
Jericho: Rushes after Vee
Matthias Crowtooth: looks around to find no one else to hide behind
Reinhold Scherzinger: Oh little Lava... I have a few drinks for us
Lavada Burrow: Sorry have to go
Vee Barlett: Nice meetin' ya!
Matthias Crowtooth: waves awkwardly, then runs after the others
Elena Perevalov: Hello there Vee
Elena Perevalov: How are you enjoying the Temple?
Vee Barlett: It's fancy. Still too dry, but nice enough, I suppose.
Vee Barlett: How you been?
Jericho: Anxiously glances over at the group, secretly hoping they like it
Matthias Crowtooth: perks ear. Stops running and starts listening
Levi Reed: I do enjoy running into other people's exs
Elena Perevalov: I have been good, the pickings have not been great, but it is a living
Vee Barlett: Better you than me. I couldn't stand it. Too... eh.
Elena Perevalov: I really wish they would let us comb the western rift again
Vee Barlett: Wait, they aren't? Why not?
Jericho: Puzzled, but afraid to inturrupt about wheat shemeans about the Western Rift
Elena Perevalov: Those mermaids just need to get a good walloping and they will back off
Elena Perevalov: We only were able to get in two catches this last season
Elena Perevalov: Then those witches called up storm after storm
Michael (Jericho): (Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn'tLisa or lorie once say these things were NOT nice creatures? The MErmaids?)
Michael (Jericho): (Just want to verify)
Matthias Crowtooth: jaw opens as he listens intently
Vee Barlett: Anyone tried just... talkin' to them lately? The mermaids. Not the witches. they're, well, I don't know what to do for them.
Levi Reed: I'm starting to think you've never been on a boat, kid
Elena Perevalov: Who can talk with 'em? Need some special skills...
Jericho: Whispers
Elena Perevalov: Maybe need to take you out on our next trip
Jericho: I was rescued on a raft
Jericho: I've never been on a boat proper
Vee Barlett: Yeah, I could try. I got my tsshhh sounds down a lot better now!
Levi Reed: When you were four, or what?
Elena Perevalov: HAH
Jericho: Last year actually
Vee Barlett: you just gotta pitch your voice up and sideways a bit more, ya know?
Jericho: Whispers
Elena Perevalov: so much better than my thoooooosh
Vee Barlett: winces and laughs
Jericho: You could say I ran away from home
Levi Reed: You're only five!? I gotta back off a bit then
Jericho: Whispers to Levi
Elena Perevalov: But it seems to scare them sometimes
Vee Barlett: No no it's like thowwwwsh
Vee Barlett: Otherwise... I think you're cursing them.
Elena Perevalov: YEAH@!
Elena Perevalov: They need cursing
Vee Barlett: Nah, they ain't all that bad. Just different.
Elena Perevalov: My ocean, my fish
Elena Perevalov: You understand
Jericho: A little uncomfrtoabel about the talk of cursing and witches in the holy temple
Elena Perevalov: Anyways I need to go find some good solid foot
Matthias Crowtooth: My city, my coinpurse. I get it.
Jericho: But too socially awkard to say anything
Elena Perevalov: Good to catch up
Lemon (Levi Reed): Is Jericho ever NOT uncomfortable?
Vee Barlett: Same! Hope you enjoy this... event? It'll be a thing, I suppose. Not as fun, but a thing.
Jericho: Yes. When he's asleep, and in the Clinit LOL
Michael (Jericho): Yes. When he's asleep, and in the Clinit LOL
BOB and the group moves deeper into the party scene as nobles are starting to congregate and the atmosphere leans into a higher more sophisicated
BOB As it gets past Noon and the celebration is in full swing
Matthias Crowtooth: walks around with his nose in the air
Jericho: Politely listening, but sticking close to the group, or members of the Temple,
BOB there is a ceremony for the Sealing of the Bottles from the previous distilling
BOB and there is a blessing
Levi Reed: walks around looking for free booze or cute guys
Jericho: [SKILL] Brewing [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 10]
BOB as the group starts to move around
Jericho: I hear the last years was a great vintage
Jericho: But that's hearsay of course
Matthias Crowtooth: [SKILL] Etiquette [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Vee, Jericho
Vee Barlett: looks at what Matty is doing and copies him
Levi Reed: How can it be vintage if it's only a year old?
Jericho: Hunches slightly, but give a polite and courteious smile at Hilde
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (he is fitting in, but it is okay because he is doing it ironically)
Jericho: "Mistress"
Jericho: Bows
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: You need to meet me in the Investigators Chapel
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Go find your friends
Jericho: Yes Ma'am!
Jericho: Straightens up
Jericho: Despite himself
Jericho: Straightens up
Jericho: Vee? Can we please go see what this is about?
Jericho: Please?
Image: Temple of the Orange Sunsets - Investigators Chapel
Michael (Jericho): Man, Rothuss does not look good there
Michael (Jericho): lol
Vee Barlett: Sure thing, buddy.
Jericho: Whispers
Jericho: Thank you!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (sorry was fixing my playlist)
Jericho: I hope nothign is wrong
Jericho: Nerviously
Levi Reed: They probably want to give us a medal or something
Jericho: We were on our best behavior, even Mattias
Matthias Crowtooth: Jolly good, wot wot
Jericho: And Levi has been swooning noblewomen left and right
Jericho: I saw the looks
Jericho: Was quite fun to watch
Jericho: Hrrying to the Chapel
BOB brb empyting and refilling
Jericho: Also Matthias, that is a lovely accent there, but I did not hear once, the Wot Wot
Jericho: Although, I did hear a "Jolly Good"
Jericho: Is that...how they speak?
Jericho: Curious
Vee Barlett: Which is fantastic because he doesn't even like women. He just teases.
Matthias Crowtooth: I dare say that we upper crust types do indeed speak like this, wot wot
Jericho: Gonna be a real hearbreaker that one
Levi Reed: You gotta really surprise them to get the "wot wot"
Jericho: Er....I kind of want to see this, but hopefully in a place where we won't be recognizable
Vee Barlett: A bit harder on those ts at the end.
Jericho: But back to business, I thought we were on our best behavior. It can't be us.
Jericho: Sorry
Jericho: I'm babbling
Jericho: I wish I was back in my clinic
Jericho: Nervously
Matthias Crowtooth: sighs and starts talking normally
Jericho: Or at your bar
Jericho: Either or
Matthias Crowtooth: You're fine. I'm not exactly at-ease here either
Jericho: Pff
Vee Barlett: The bar IS great.
Jericho: You belong anywhere
Matthias Crowtooth: Let's just get through this and we can go back to the bar.
Levi Reed: Well THAT'S an interesting turn of events
Levi Reed: You like our bar, huh?
Jericho: I'll deny it if you ever tellanyone
BOB b
Vee Barlett: And he called it a bar! Not a tavern!
Matthias Crowtooth: I like alcohol, what can I say?
Levi Reed: Yeah, men denying the truth is nothing new to me
Jericho: I like watching you guys when you are drunk. Also you are kind of the only people I can stand being around
Jericho: But I'll also deny that too
Matthias Crowtooth: It is fine. I will deny being drunk, especially if I am drunk at the time.
Jericho: Out of curiosity Matthias, no offense intended, but I kind of figured you were in a perpetual state of a "light buzz" as I believe they call it
Jericho: Arriving at the Chapel
Matthias Crowtooth: drinks from his perpetual flask, then puts it back
Matthias Crowtooth: Not sure what you mean, Jericho
Jericho: Grins under his mouth
Michael (Jericho): (OK Bob. Take it away!)
Lemon (Levi Reed): How do you grin under your mouth?
BOB The group arrives in the same place they last had a debriefing after their last adventure
Michael (Jericho): You cover your mouth with your hand
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): You use your lower mouth to grin
Michael (Jericho): Snorts
So this is a delicate task. After your work with the Malkin Family I beleive you can handle this.
Lemon (Levi Reed): I... will require a demonstration next weekend
Michael (Jericho): Usually while tilting your head down in mischief
Michael (Jericho): I willoffer it gladly
Jericho: Uh......
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: So this is a delicate task. After your work with the Malkin Family I beleive you can handle this.
Lemon (Levi Reed): Willoffer would be a great name for a dog.
Jericho: Yes Ma'am. Whatever you require
Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: There are casks and bottles of rum that are stored in the basements of the Temple. We keep them there until they are ready to distribute. Only the higher quality pressings get this treatment. For the ceremony today we brought up one cask, and three bottles of the 550 bottling. It has aged well and was going to be used as an example and gift to several of the nobles in attendance today.
Jericho: Side eyes Vee for her thoughts
Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Security was a bit lax however and two of the bottles went missing. It is a theft and must be punished once we find the thief. All of our more experienced investigators are involved with the celebration. You can imagine the temptations that abound when the Baron and his attendees are present. The Head Trainer says you are the best we have to go chase after this thief and bring back the treasure. Good luck.
Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: I have to get back to the celebrations
Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Leaves
Jericho: Oh...my...gods
Jericho: Thank god I met you guys
Jericho: In obvious releif
Jericho: This is your domain correct?
Jericho: What do we need to do?
Vee Barlett: She didn't give us much to go off, did she?
Jericho: How would you knick the bottles?
Jericho: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm getting into your guyses roughish ways
BOB You understand 50+ year old rum?
Levi Reed: I mean, I know all about DRINKING them, but stealing them? Not my department
Michael (Jericho): Yes bob
Michael (Jericho): I don't drink, but I took a Alchohol class for a hospitatliyy program
Michael (Jericho): Kind of odd
Michael (Jericho): Swish the alchohol and then spit it out
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Looking at the group, I do expect that your lessons and experience will give you a very good chance to finding and retrieving these bottles. I cannot imagine some thief stealing such valuable goods to only drink it on the side of the road. This must be meant for some other purpose. I suspect that with the Baron here their goal is to get it to Osterhold before he returns with his head of security. Perhaps for an establishment there in the city, or to smuggle it out from there to a nearby island.
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: You will have to decide if you should try to follow the roads over the mountain to Osterhold or to find a ship to take you quickly around Harpies Bay and try to beat the thief to the city.
Vee Barlett: Must be worth a lot on the black market.
Matthias Crowtooth: Ship. I vote ship.
Vee Barlett: ears perk up
Vee Barlett: Ship? Ship.
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: I imagine that it is worth quite a bit
Levi Reed: Definitely ship, as long as I don't have to drive
Jericho: We must be quick then
Vee Barlett: I'd never let you drive, Levi.
Jericho: Vee?
Jericho: Ship?
Vee Barlett: Anything else we need to know before we run off?
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: I think you have what you need to know you can go
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Ava and Vee you stay for a moment with me
Vee Barlett: We'll catch that thief, m'am.
Jericho: Do you mind if we take a look at where they were stoeln first? Or was the area already searched?
Vee Barlett: saluts
Vee Barlett: *salutes
Vee Barlett: Oh, sure.
Jericho: Hesitates, but leaves Mistress in private, softly closing the doors behind them
BOB The rest of the group goes off to start their investigation
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ava's busy pooping
-> Vee Barlett: I do not know you other than what you said in our meeting last week. You seem to have done well in the eyes of Investigator Hyacinth along with Jericho and Ava. Ava chose you to speak for the group so I will trust you with this information.
Vee Barlett: nods and listens
Michael (Jericho): (Sigh.I do hate the whispering sometimes)
-> Vee Barlett: Yes these bottles of rum are important, valuable, a worthy treasure to try to steal. However that is not the worst of the problem. Only a few of us know the real problem. Inside one of those bottles was hidden one the Temple's official tax stamp. This magical stamp is used on products to prove that they came from the Temple and have been tithed properly.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (it's almost like you need to read chat!)
Lemon (Levi Reed): And I really, really, really LOVE it, every time
-> Vee Barlett: Obviously this is of grave concern and the Mistress and others are all doing their best to make sure the knowledge of such an important magical item of the Temple is missing not get out. I charge you with ensuring that this stamp is found and returned, no matter what happened to the two bottles. It is your choice if you tell your friends of this additional quest, but word cannot get out at all costs.
Michael (Jericho): (Yes,but it was more efficient)
Matthias Crowtooth -> Levi Reed: If you are reading this, hi Michael!
Michael (Jericho): Lol
Vee Barlett: Got it, ma'am. And magic? Make it easier to ensure it's in the bottle without opening it.
BOB LOL
Levi Reed -> Matthias Crowtooth: 2 gold says he doesn't
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): LOL
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ....I forget how to whisper backkkkk
-> Vee Barlett: The bottle will be opened, to insert it, so that will be a key marker that you have the right bottle..... unless those drunkards have opened both of them and .....
Michael (Jericho): So for the investigative task force (ITF for short), shall we begin our rolls on what we can decipher about the crime scene?
Vee Barlett: I know a good way to make 'em vomit if so. We got this! Anything else we need to know?
Levi Reed -> Matthias Crowtooth: Should we keep going? Let the bit run until it's overkill?
Matthias Crowtooth -> Levi Reed: Sounds fun!
-> Vee Barlett: You have everything I know, you are three hours behind the thief, I hope you can catch up to him
Levi Reed -> Matthias Crowtooth: Like one of those jokes that's funny, then it stops being funny, then it goes so long that it gets funny again
Vee Barlett: We'll get a fast ship and catch up. Er, know what the thief looks like or we only know to find some drunkards with the bottles?
Matthias Crowtooth -> Levi Reed: That is my favorite type of joke!
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: The thief is well known
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: The one legged man
Matthias Crowtooth -> Levi Reed: Also, Hi Carissa!
Vee Barlett: Oh, that dude? I've heard about him. Should be easy to find.
Levi Reed -> Matthias Crowtooth: My favorite is the interupting cow knock knock joke. The kids at school looooove it
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Hugo is a friend of the Duke's son
Michael (Jericho): (Wait, now this isn't whispering?)
Matthias Crowtooth -> Levi Reed: A classic! Everyone loves that joke
Vee Barlett: Wait... he's the duke's son's friend?
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: He is a well known ruffian, and with his obvious impairment you would think he would not do such a brazen thing
Levi Reed -> Matthias Crowtooth: Sure, but four-year-olds think you're a hilarious genius and that you've invented every joke. They're kinda dumb.
Michael (Jericho): Well when you have friends in high places.....
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (lol more or less what I was typing)
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: I can only guess he took it to Osterhold to his favorite bar
Matthias Crowtooth -> Levi Reed: Wait... you didn't invent it? Geez, now I feel dumb
Vee Barlett: Gotta share the wealth...
Levi Reed -> Matthias Crowtooth: I don't know you well enough to argue that
Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: You need to hurry to catch him before.....
Vee Barlett: Hmm, guess I won't rough him up AS much, though, if he has connections.
Vee Barlett: Yep. Got it, m'am. On our way!
Matthias Crowtooth: Maybe he stole because he was tired of being looked down on for missing a leg.... Just sayin'
BOB So questions OOC at first?
Michael (Jericho): I mean...if they knew who took it, then why not tell the enitre group?
Matthias Crowtooth -> Levi Reed: That's fair!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (to clarify: we're after Hugo who is the friend of the Duke's son, yes?)
Michael (Jericho): Waste o ftime to investigate?
BOB Yes
Carissa (Vee Barlett): cause it's more than that which you can ask Vee later :)
BOB and likely yes
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Could be a setup
BOB The one legged man
BOB with a gotee
BOB OBVOIUSLY the person who did the crime
Michael (Jericho): So remember, I can read chat, but if Vee chooses not to share, we are in the dark
'Shislif' connected
BOB Hey there Sharif
Michael (Jericho): Hi Sharif!
Levi Reed -> Matthias Crowtooth: And he'd've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for us meddling kids!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Hi Sharif!
BOB Exactly Lemon
Matthias Crowtooth -> Levi Reed: And our oversized dog!
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Hi Sharif
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ll yes I know
BOB Sadly you are lacking in canines
Levi Reed: Well look who it is!
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Levi Reed: (LINK)
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gOHvDP_vCs&ab_channel=justintimberlakeVEVO">(LINK)</a>
Sharif: Hi everybody
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): You telling me that no one here has a lap dog that we can steal?
Levi Reed -> Matthias Crowtooth: We have Jericho. Basically the same thing
BOB This is the point of the night to recap in OOC
BOB and Decide what you want to share IC as well
Matthias Crowtooth -> Levi Reed: He does have a hangdog look to him sometimes
BOB everone knows Y, Vee and Ava know Y+X
Michael (Jericho): So...we aren't trusted. Okay then
BOB Also ask questions about what to potentially do
Michael (Jericho): Little hurtful, but whatev
Lemon (Levi Reed): Sounds like algebra. Where's TMO
BOB I am here
BOB LOL Lemon
Matthias Crowtooth: Listen, about Lavada. I... don't know how to end this sentence.
BOB You mean that the Church might not trust Chaotic young priests Michael?
MeLange: try a period
Michael (Jericho): Hey man, you do you. We aint judging
Carissa (Vee Barlett): We get a ship, we go to town, we try to find the one legged guy and the bar and/or cut him off before he reaches the city
Michael (Jericho): But they trust Vee?
Vee Barlett: Go on...
Michael (Jericho): Also a young teen I might point out?
BOB Ava picked her last time
Matthias Crowtooth: gives an involuntary laugh at Melange
Lemon (Levi Reed): Lavada Kedavra!
Vee Barlett: And I do NOT recommend a period. Horrid thing it is.
BOB LOL with Vee
Matthias Crowtooth: squints at Vee
MeLange chuckles
MeLange: i bet
BOB Attrracting sharks
Matthias Crowtooth: Never bet with her. She cheats.
Levi Reed: Horrid for me, too. She gets so whiny
Jericho: Eh, some cramps I can help with. I don't know how you do it. Simple remedie
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (that's why we toss someone else in after stab them first)
Jericho: Think I have some herbs actually
Vee Barlett: I just want to stab myself. And everyone else.
Jericho: Noted
Vee Barlett: Wait she cheats? At what?
Jericho: I will prepare some tinctures
MeLange: well I appreciate that you would start with yourself Vee
Matthias Crowtooth: places a dagger on the ground, slides it towards Vee, and moves back 10 paces
Jericho: So
Jericho: Vee
Vee Barlett: Anything for you, Melange.
Vee Barlett: Except I may start with Levi first.
Jericho: Not that I'm not insanely Jealous that I'm not trusted in my own temple where I swore vows
Matthias Crowtooth: laughs
Jericho: In case that wasn't Sarcasm, let me emphasize that
MeLange: Levi is already quite bloody
Vee Barlett: Definitely not. I couldn't tell.
Vee Barlett: picks up the dagger
Jericho: Would you kindly share...IF it pertains to the case of course
Vee Barlett: Hmm,. this is nice. Think I'll keep it.
Matthias Crowtooth: blinks, pouts, then resolves to steal it back
Vee Barlett: Only if we get moving and get us a ship.
Vee Barlett: Ain't just rum in that bottle so the church REALLY wants it back.
Jericho: Nods solumnly, clearly hurt
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Matthias Crowtooth: Maybe it is holy rum?
Matthias Crowtooth: Can priests bless rum?
Jericho: Yes
Matthias Crowtooth: Huh, you must be great at parties.
Levi Reed: Do we think the one-armed man KNOWS there's more than just rum in there?
Jericho: Only if I'm playing cards
Vee Barlett: Nah, the church don't think so.
BOB One legged Man
Jericho: Otherwise, not lots of fun
Lemon (Levi Reed): Like Levi cares about a little detail of leg vs arm
Matthias Crowtooth: Oooh, card tricks are fun
Matthias Crowtooth: We'll make him the one-armed man later.
Vee Barlett: But we gotta find it before he finds out. And if he drinks it, we'll either have to make him vomit OR someone has to do a poop search.
Vee Barlett: NOT IT.
Levi Reed: Sounds like Jericho's department
Vee Barlett: Oh, and he's friends with the son of the Duke so we can't be TOO rough on him.
Jericho: ....Worst case, I can maybe do something....less then honest, but good intentions and all that
Matthias Crowtooth: Do you think people will notice if he is missing another leg?
Jericho: A little ashamed
Jericho: A little ashamed
BOB We don't talk about Hugo
Levi Reed: Why's the duke's kid hanging out with a lowlife like that?
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Jericho: If we aren't in time
Jericho: I can
Jericho: well
Jericho: I'm not the best at it okay? But there are some ways to make less....
Matthias Crowtooth: Slumming it? You sometimes get rich brats coming down to the slums, doing their rebellino thing
Jericho: Quality alchohol taste better
Levi Reed: Let's cross that bridge when we get there man
Vee Barlett: Look, it's a ring or somethin' in there, magical, so we just need to get it first.
Jericho: If we can get the bottle, we can still give something back...as it's a gift...
Vee Barlett: He'll probably go to the bar, show off, and him or some other idiot will get ahold of something important.
Jericho: Coughs
Matthias Crowtooth: slaps Jericho on the back
Jericho: Yes
Jericho: Well
Jericho: Worst case scenario of course
Vee Barlett: talking as they head out to find a ship
Jericho: So nearest vessel?
Vee Barlett: Worst case, we gut him.
Jericho: I know nothing of this
Anthony: WHAT IN THE FUCK
Jericho: Language
Matthias Crowtooth: In the fuck? Not sure how that works...
Anthony: Why am I being dragged away from this party
Vee Barlett: It's West Comm? I thought you could tell.
Anthony: and made to deal with you... what ever you are
Jericho: STOPS
Anthony: You have never even served a day on a ship
Jericho: STOPS
Jericho: Looks at the commotion
Vee Barlett: Ho! What's going on?
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oh, thought Michael was asking for a stop, LOL
Anthony: What the Hell are you doing here and WHY am I forced to leave a party, THIS party to deal with you .... what ever
Michael (Jericho): Sorry, will do better
Michael (Jericho): I don't do well in that area
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 8]
Vee Barlett: squints at the commotion
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Nah, you are fine. Me just confusled
BOB for Vee, this looks like a Marine, first Leiutenent
Matthias Crowtooth: [SKILL] Etiquette [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 4]
BOB Someone from the Navy
Michael (Jericho): Military Structure bob?
Michael (Jericho): What level
Michael (Jericho): Low, medium, high
BOB Officer
Matthias Crowtooth: My dear sir, I am terribly sorry for this interruption, but we require your services for a critically important situation.
Michael (Jericho): Thank you bob
Michael (Jericho): Low medium high?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (officer just means he went to college....)
Anthony: the Crap you say .... curmudgeon?
Shislif (MeLange): sorry had to step away for a few, i'm back
Michael (Jericho): Or went through field promotion
Anthony: Are you a what?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ugh I don't know marines, more navy here
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): In medieval times, they oftentimes had to buy their commission as officers
Vee Barlett: Soemthing the matter, officer?
Anthony: you have a sword, you look like you might know what you are doing if you had some training
Anthony: Who is in charge here?
Jericho: She is
Matthias Crowtooth: side-eyes Vee
Shislif (MeLange): aren't marines part of the navy?
Jericho: Points at Vee
Anthony: I have to deal with you I might as well know your names
Jericho: Points at Vee
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (oh is he talking to US??)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (I thought he was yelling at someone else, lol)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (oops lmao)
Michael (Jericho): They are, but they aren't. Its complicated.
Vee Barlett: Vee, sir. And I know my way around a ship.
Shislif (MeLange): lol nice
Anthony: I was here to enjoy a party, to be able to enjoy the reward of doing a good job,
MeLange: she knows her way around a lot of things
Michael (Jericho): You could say the Navy does the transportation and naval logistics, while the Marines kick ass and shooty shooty
Anthony: instead I have to do MORE because no one else wants to be bothered
Vee Barlett: You and me both, sir, but the church wants things done.
Michael (Jericho): oversimplification, but it will do
Shislif (MeLange): lol shooty shooty, but thx simple works for me :)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (lol no, I mean the ranks I know better for navy since my family is navy, not marines)
Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: What the hell, Vee? A couplea days ago you were giving me shit for using real names and now you're ok with it?
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Except, for some reason, the marines don't have their own medical staff, so they have to use naval corpsmen
Anthony: So what the hell is going on?
Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: You don't mess with the military, man.
Jericho: A major theft Officer
Jericho: If we return, you would be an honored member of retrieval
Vee Barlett: We need to get to the city before the thief.
Jericho: Remembered
Anthony: My captain pulls me out of a perfectly good party and sends me to deal with some young kids who have no idea what they are doing
Jericho: and honored
Jericho: We could use your advice
Jericho: We want to make sure we make you look proud and honorable to the Temple of course
Jericho: We are young after all
BOB Observation?
MeLange: there's a party?
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 10]
Vee Barlett: whispers to Melange, "Yeah, we were just there... or did you spend most of it in the bathroom again?"
Jericho: [SKILL] Diagnostics [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 7]
Michael (Jericho): He drunk?
-> Vee Barlett: This is a young kid, just out of officer school, likely his second or third assignment no reason he should be at this party in the first place
MeLange: whispers to Vee, "ohhhhh! That party, ok"
Vee Barlett: LOL
Vee Barlett: squints
Vee Barlett: You a fish fresh outta water yourself, sir.
Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: That mean I shouldn't flirt with him?
Vee Barlett: Maybe...just maybe... he was saving you from being somehwere you shouldn't be?
Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: I mean, sure, go for it, but, uh, just... more contained?
Jericho: Curious, but letting Vee talk
MeLange: so much whispering it's like being back in grade-school
Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: I mean they DO look great in uniform...
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
Michael (Jericho): I know, it's getting a bit old
Michael (Jericho): I feel so left out
Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Wouldn't know how to do contained.... maybe with those fun ropes...
Shislif (MeLange): lol
Anthony: I think you need to pay attention to more than the fit of the uniform and look at the ranking
Vee Barlett -> Levi Reed: Maybe after we catch the thief?
Vee Barlett: nods
Levi Reed -> Vee Barlett: Ugh, always thinking about work
Jericho: We can do that. But reality doesn't mean much. We salute the Rank, not the man? Isn't that the saying?
MeLange: Whispers to Jericho, "pea and carrots, peas and carrots and potatoes"
Vee Barlett: Sure, sure, but whether or not you should be here, you're being told to not be there now and to help us, and you ain't gonna refuse a direct order from your captain, are ya?
Levi Reed -> MeLange: Can you keep a secret?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (Sharif, left click the portrait to whisper)
MeLange -> Levi Reed: I can try!
Anthony: My Captain ? I follow
Anthony: You?
Sneers
Vee Barlett: rolls eyes
Shislif (MeLange): how do you whisper?
Levi Reed -> MeLange: Sometimes we're whispering on purpose because Michael doesn't like it. And that's how friends treat each other!
Jericho: Look, are you gonna help us or not? Our success relies on your goodwill, and if you won't help us, I'm sure your captain will care a lot more about the more responsible and ranking officer failing in his duties. Will you help us or not?
BOB LOL with Leon
Jericho: You don't have to like us
BOB Lemon
Vee Barlett: And he says you gotta help us. I know my way around the ship. I'll prove it.
Jericho: We're trying out best here
MeLange -> Levi Reed: Ahhhh now I get it, thank you Levi I was starting to feel left out there too
Jericho: And I'm a great healer. I can patch you up in no time
Anthony: If you need patching up you were too slow
Vee Barlett: grins
Jericho: Are you saying...you've never been to slow?
Vee Barlett: Maybe you ain't half bad. Just mad. So you gonna help or not? Because we need to go. NOW.
Anthony: I have a horse
Levi Reed -> MeLange: Maybe next time we'll come up with a way to annoy YOU/show our love
Jericho: Have you..served in any combat at all?
Jericho: Sideeyes Vee
Michael (Jericho): Maybe we would be better off without him?
Anthony: You said we need to go now
Jericho: Maybe we would be better off without him?
Vee Barlett: And we need to go fast. You really think four legs is fast? Landlubber.
Anthony: Where are we going?
MeLange -> Levi Reed: Don't worry Levi, you're already a constant nuisance
Vee Barlett: City.
Jericho: Osterhold
Levi Reed: Why, you got free passage on another ship floating around somewhere, Jericho?
Levi Reed -> MeLange: awww, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me
Vee Barlett: Need to go around Harpies Bay.
Anthony: Right, so over the mountain, 24 hours on a horse, there abouts
Vee Barlett: To get to Osterhold.
Vee Barlett: Too slow.
Anthony: Well you have a big group, you have a ship big enough for that?
Jericho: No Levi, I'm simply saying that if he doesn't want to help us, hiring a private vessel mightbe more expedient
Jericho: Whispers
Vee Barlett: Only my canoe. We need to find a ship.
Vee Barlett: I'm sure you know a guy if you ain't that guy.
MeLange -> Levi Reed: Melange does the "Wakanda" sign while looking Levi in the eye
Anthony: And let me guess none of you have a ship
Levi Reed: ... The church isn't lending us a ship!?
Jericho: No. But you are a Marine Officer. I'm certain you would know the best place to look for one
Levi Reed: How bad do they want this thing back?
Anthony: The Navy can get you anywhere you want to go, we just need to get to Osterhold
Jericho: Wouldn't you?
Levi Reed: Jericho, go ask for a ship
Vee Barlett: Great. And we need to get there FAST.
Vee Barlett: So. A ship. Let's go get one if you ain't providing it.
BOB OOC there is a character here whose family has ships......... just saying
Jericho: Nods
MeLange: Wher do we get a ship?
Michael (Jericho): Well that aint me
Anthony: You tell me
Michael (Jericho): No ships
Vee Barlett: Or else we're gonna have to ask.... UGH....
Shislif (MeLange): is it MeLange's family?
Jericho: Sigh
Anthony: I can get to the city by tomorrow morning, I can take someone with me
Anthony: and the Investigator can take one more behind her
Vee Barlett: Levi....
MeLange: whoa
Anthony: SHE is Pissed
Vee Barlett: Levi. We're gonna have to ask Lila.
Anthony: You do not want to talk with her
Levi Reed: Oh no no no. She's not going to give up that stupid fishing boat, not a chance
Jericho: looking from character to character
Anthony: What boat?
Levi Reed: She loves that boat more than anything else in the world
Vee Barlett: You're family has MANY ships.
Vee Barlett: Even if it ain't hers, she can lend us one of 'em, ya?
Jericho: So...can we rent a ship Levi?
Jericho: We'll pay of course
Levi Reed: They're WORKING BOATS, Vee. They need those boats to work
Vee Barlett: And we need one to work!
Vee Barlett: Come on. They're on the way, ain't they?
Jericho: And we're technically renting it
BOB Sits back and watches
Levi Reed: I can't believe you're making me do this
Jericho: So still making money
Vee Barlett: Jericho will go on a date with you if you do.
Levi Reed: You owe me the finest rum money can legally buy
Matthias Crowtooth: I like your thinking
Jericho: No I wont?
Vee Barlett: elbows him
Vee Barlett: We'll discuss details later.
Jericho: Whoofs
MeLange: Come On Jericho it's for a boat!
Jericho: As the air leaves his lungs
Levi Reed: She's going to want to go with us, you know
Levi Reed: She won't trust us with her boat
Jericho: The more the merrier right?
Vee Barlett: We'll see. This... hey, wait, what's your name, officer?
MeLange: is she a pleasant lady?
Vee Barlett: HA!
Anthony: Anthony
Vee Barlett: HA! HA. HAHAHAHA.
Vee Barlett: No. She is not.
MeLange: Well rats
Levi Reed: She's probably fine if you aren't me or Vee, I wouldn't know
Levi Reed: But seeing as how you're with us...
MeLange: Oh I see
Vee Barlett: Cool, cool. Anthony can just ppull the military card on her if we need.
Jericho: Well Officer Anthony pleasure to meet you.
Jericho: Can he do that?
MeLange: she desires good company then...
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Anthony: Lieutenant Anthony Gardon
Jericho: So....Oficer Gardon?
Vee Barlett: Hmm, good point, Melange. Take that shirt off when we talk to her. Show her your sexy back. Might help us.
Levi Reed: She wouldn't know good company if it sat next to her with a bottle of wine and the fanciest cheese
Matthias Crowtooth: sighs
MeLange: Might as well get some use out of these muscles Vee
Jericho: Shakes head. "Okay, now we have a game plan lets go already!"
Vee Barlett: rounds up with her finger and points onward
MeLange: I must admit, it's not how I thought I'd spend them!
Jericho: First one on the ship is owed a drink
Vee Barlett: Let's go get Lila to help us.
Jericho: from me
Vee Barlett: If she says no, we need to know NOW not later.
Levi Reed: Ok, but we gotta pretend like this military guy is in charge. At least until we get her agreement
Vee Barlett: They're good muscles, Melange! You need to show them off more!
Vee Barlett: grumbles
Vee Barlett: Fine. I don't like it... but fine....
MeLange: if you want me to take my shirt off just give me a sign, I'll be real casual
BOB and so giving everyone a chance to ask questions and understand what is happening for moving forward and next weekend with the Birthday Game
Vee Barlett: grins and gives Melange a thumbs up
Michael (Jericho): Officer Grumpy Gills is accompanying us with Grumpy Sister
Jericho: Go find One Armed/Legged Guy
BOB chuckles
Matthias Crowtooth: The sign will be me walking away
Levi Reed: I guess if we tell her the military guy is in charge and sent from the church, she might just agree
Michael (Jericho): Get brandy back
Michael (Jericho): Rum
Michael (Jericho): Whatever
Shislif (MeLange): ohhh nice next week is birthday game? I should be able to be on whole session next week
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Friday AND Saturday
Shislif (MeLange): ohhhh that game!
BOB Friday from 7 till Midnight, and then Saturday Noon to Midnight
Lemon (Levi Reed): noon to midnight saturday
Sharif (MeLange): ohhh nice next week is birthday game? I should be able to be on whole session next week
Shislif (MeLange): OOC
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (huh)
Shislif (MeLange): Hey that's not Melange?
Michael (Jericho): So, any other questions people might have? I'm notfading per se, but am a little tired.
BOB Michael, Spring, Lemon, Carissa, Angelica, plus guests will be live at BOB's house next week
Levi Reed: Hey that's not Melange?
BOB plus Sharif, Ryan, TMO, JTom, and guests will be online
Michael (Jericho): Live from the Bob Studio in Flordia, this is Jeap....D&D
Shislif (MeLange): super cool
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (hurricane pending)
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): So... my question is for Michael. Does your luggage have airholes in it, or am I holding my breath the entire way?
BOB Hurricane will swoop on north
Shislif (MeLange): Sorry I couldn't make it in person but looking forward to the game!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yeah TOWARD ME
Carissa (Vee Barlett): maybe
BOB less than a 8% chance right now that if affects us
Michael (Jericho): Airholes? Dude you are gonna suffocate my man
BOB That is why you want to be here Carissa
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): That is quitter talk
Shislif (MeLange): so will you guys just be on your computers when we're playing or will you be chatting about stuff? In which case would we need to be in on a discord or something?
BOB yes to being here in chat
Michael (Jericho): Well, if you can fitin a backpack in an overhead compartment, I'd pay money to see it
BOB and maybe on Discord too for a live feed/audio depending on how people feel
Lemon (Levi Reed): Mostly computers but also so many inside jokes that you will never find out about
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (looks at arms and legs) Might have to lose a few pounds, but I can fit afterwards, I think
Shislif (MeLange): lol
Shislif (MeLange): Yea at least I got time to lose a few before the next one :)
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): That's okay. We remoters will also have OUR inside jokes that you guys will never find out about
Shislif (MeLange): Good point!
BOB I want everone to understand what your options are. You know the person you are chasing is headign into Osterhold, you do know (not expressly yet but it will come out) that he frequents a particular bar there in the City
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): You'll be like, "Why are you all using a cat filter", and we will say, "Inside joke."
BOB You can chase after him by road over the mountains, or by ship around Harpies Point to the City
Shislif (MeLange): lol
Michael (Jericho): Yes, but ship seems the more expedient option
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yeah, just need to reread and clarify Anthony because I was confused with that intro
Shislif (MeLange): You had to be there :)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): he's helping but he ain't our ship holder
Michael (Jericho): Yeah, at first I thought he was drunk and talkin to someone else entirely
Michael (Jericho): Really confusedm e
Carissa (Vee Barlett): same
Lemon (Levi Reed): And Levi's sister is about to tell SO MANY EMBARRASSING childhood stories and totally kill his game
Michael (Jericho): If he was ordered, he might be a good fighter ot have around. No point in being a total asshole if he can at least hold his own
BOB Yes, Anthony is a Marine (accompained by an Investigator who is pissed to be dragged away from the party) that is here to help you recover the stolen rum
Michael (Jericho): And whoknows, it never hurts ot make friends with military people
Carissa (Vee Barlett): oooh so investigator will also be joining us? a guest NPC?
Shislif (MeLange): So like Reacher?
Michael (Jericho): Wait, I thought ANTONY was the asshole
BOB He has connections with the Navy, and perhaps in the City once you get there
Michael (Jericho): Is it him, or the Investigator
BOB Two NPCs so far
BOB more to come
Lemon (Levi Reed): I don't know what Reacher is
Carissa (Vee Barlett): only one that talked ot us was Anthony
Michael (Jericho): So like I said, nice guy to know. We can be somewhat nice to him
BOB It is the Birthday Game afterall
Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (Sounds like I am needed to help with putting kids to bed, so I think I need to call it here. Thanks for a great session everyone. Safe travels, and I will talk to you guys later.
Shislif (MeLange): will we be playing more tonight or is this the end times?
Michael (Jericho): Night bud!
BOB See you next week Ryan
Carissa (Vee Barlett): night!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Goodnight!
'Dru5232321' disconnected
Shislif (MeLange): night!
Shislif (MeLange): I guess I'll head out too I gotta pack for tmrw
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm sticking around until Carissa leaves, so I can both beat her logging in AND out
BOB So the group is decided that you want to go the sea route and not over the mountain path
Shislif (MeLange): have a great night everyone looking forward to next week!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol and you'll only note it when you do
Carissa (Vee Barlett): always sea
Lemon (Levi Reed): of course
BOB You have a great retreat Sharif
Carissa (Vee Barlett): and night sharif!
Lemon (Levi Reed): night Sharif!
Shislif (MeLange): thx :)
'Shislif' disconnected
BOB It is a good time to make sure you three are ready for next week
BOB You will be leaving the Temple
Lemon (Levi Reed): Not even close
Lemon (Levi Reed): I haven't even decided which suitcase to pack
BOB and going to Osterhold
Carissa: Just take a backpackkkkk
BOB LOL Lemon
BOB I cannot help with that
BOB you are only here two nights
BOB when do you leave on Sunday?
Lemon: I mean, I'm only taking a carryon, but WHICH ONE
BOB DOH you said early
BOB so when do you arrive on Friday?
Lemon: Yeah, crazy stupid early because I have to work Monday
Lemon: I'm actually getting in the middle of the night Thursday, and just sleeping in Friday
BOB Fully appreciate the idea that you are making this trip Thank you very much
BOB Who needs white wine?
Carissa: I don't drink anymore
Carissa: my body dislikes it
Michael (Jericho): I never did, but go crazy :)
BOB We have red need to go get what will make everyone happy
BOB I need non-alcoholic for Michael
Carissa: Lemonade, water, and a fan because I can't do heat well anymore either. Life sucks sometimes.
Lemon: Yeah, I only like the bubbly white stuff and only when it's inside a mimosa
Michael (Jericho): Non-alcholic wine?
Michael (Jericho): What the hell is that?
Carissa: Grape juice
Michael (Jericho): Sparkling Cider?
BOB I have you covered Michael
Lemon: Oh, yeah, I mean to ask, what temperature will the gaming room be kept at?
BOB and I have you too Carissa
Michael (Jericho): Huh. Call me curious
Michael (Jericho): 65 Degrees if it's Florida LOL
BOB I typically keep it at 74 but can be what ever we need
Carissa: Please and thank you. It'll be interesting. Might do more than I think, but we'll see.
BOB Promise this will be a fun weekend
Carissa: Body is acting up lately so trying to take it easy
Jericho: So.....I'll be keeping an eye on stuff somewhat, but other then this....have a great night everyone?
Michael (Jericho): So.....I'll be keeping an eye on stuff somewhat, but other then this....have a great night everyone?
BOB My current plan is to make pizzas on Friday afternoon with everyone, then play for hours on end
BOB have a great night Michael
Lemon: I'm not joking about the nap, though. I guarantee at some point I will start to fall asleep and will need to crash for a couple hours
Michael (Jericho): Ooh, that sounds good lol
Jericho: We don't judge Lemonz
Michael (Jericho): Lemon
Michael (Jericho): Night all!
BOB There is a guest room Lemon
Lemon: I like Lemonz
Michael (Jericho): :D
'Michael' disconnected
Lemon: Night Michael!
Carissa: night michael!
BOB Just not like last time (that you did not see) where we had three beds
BOB Only one now
Carissa: Which I might claim, and now I wnat to so I can tell Lemon that she can't sleep there
Lemon: Fantastic. Apologies in advance for making you wash bedsheets
BOB I already washed them
BOB They are ready for you
Lemon: I called dibs, Carissa, sorry
Lemon: I posted on the website first
Carissa: You can all you want but Bob offered the room to me first
Carissa: I win this round!
BOB You two can close the door and no one will judge ;P
Lemon: Yeah, but then you'll probably wash them again when I leave, and what a waste of clean sheets, so sorry for that
Lemon: No one will judge, but I snore lol
BOB I sanatize all the sheets at least once a month
Lemon: Carissa will get so irritated
Carissa: If you don't hear her, you know what happened.
BOB So do you like the start of this story arc?
Carissa: And it wasn't me.
BOB LOL
Lemon: lol
Carissa: It is a bit confusing, but I think so?
BOB I am here to clear anything up
Lemon: So far so good? I'm looking forward to meeting the weirdos in this new bar
BOB ask away
BOB and LOL Alexa just spoke up and said "wake up you are snoring" because my wife is down there snoring on the couch
Carissa: Oh, yeah, no I'm too confused to know. Rereading chat may help answer some of it
Lemon: hahaha
Carissa: lol
Carissa: ...and I meant to say too TIRED to know, not confused so... yeah....
BOB One thing you did slightly surprise me with is already deciding to NOT split the party and send some by horse over the mountain to chase him and the rest by boat
Carissa: Hey, that was their option. But Vee is taking a boat, damnit.
Lemon: Splitting the party is never a good idea
Carissa: If they wanted to split, she wasn't going to stop them.
Carissa: But I don't see any of them being that person... yet, or maybe ever, who knwos
Lemon: We're still little babies and it's dangerous to go alone
BOB so we start next week with leaving the Temple and getting to Achild, and then Levi having to figure out a way to get a boat so you can make it to Osterhold, or stealing/borrowing something from somewhere
Carissa: Yeah, not smart, but each to their own
Carissa: I can't wait to meet his family and whoever is going to be playing them. Or family friends. Or whoever.
BOB So people have time to consider and think
Lemon: I just would like to add some more gossip about Michael here, just to check and see if he ACTUALLY reads chat
BOB It will be a fun weekend
BOB and yes
BOB Michael needs to read more
Carissa: lol
Lemon: I heard he was a one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater
Lemon: Anyone else heard that?
Carissa: I heard he has a giant star tattoo on the bottom of his left foot AND he's actually not right OR left handed.
BOB and understand that the whole church thing with Chaotic and Law and Peace all ends up with all three branches merging together by the 5th level to be one priesthood
Lemon: Then does he write with his mouth or his feet?
Carissa: Both
BOB So Jericho can be all Chaotic now but he needs to grow and appreciate Law
Lemon: At the same time?
Carissa: Hahaha we'll see how that goes
Carissa: I think he likes Law more than he believes
BOB the same as Lawful priests need to appreciate the chaotic nature of the waves and be more peaceful
Lemon: Or maybe he'll get kicked out of the church
Carissa: Why not both?
Lemon: I like how BOB is doing actual gossip, whereas I'm trying to be just the most ridiculous
BOB To not be with the God means not having spells, to not be in the Church means........
Carissa: .....................
Carissa: that it's time for bed?
BOB Do you like the new maps?
BOB and do you want more in this style?
Carissa: I cannot unsee the butthole.
Lemon: Oh gosh, bedtime already? Ok, goodnight Carissa, bye, take care, sleep well
BOB for individual islands?
Carissa: But artistic style, yes it is nice
BOB It is very true Carissa
Lemon: The map is great, but I need more labels
Carissa: But it's a huge island and I wanna sail nowwwwww
BOB I have held off on labels until the end of the Era
BOB so you can decide what is important
BOB Next era is a LOT of island hopping
Carissa: Good
Lemon: Anywhere we've named is important to me
BOB Or at least..... sailing and landing on land
Carissa: Why not both?
BOB We can do that Lemon
BOB Which is why the desktop decal is the northern island group
BOB Going into Seagate is at least late in the next Era or an entire Era on its own
Lemon: It doesn't have to be an interactable zoomable one or anything, I just need a visual on where things are, and I will not remember that without words
BOB We will do that for you Lemon
BOB After the Birthday Game
BOB As you explore more
Lemon: Perfect
BOB remember this story arc is likely to be 8 to 10 sessions
BOB so sometime in October to finish
Carissa: 4 of which are over the weekend
Lemon: I've also heard that Michael likes to do the Mash. He does the Monster Mash.
BOB Yes to Carissa
Carissa: And the Y. The YMCA
Lemon: Macarena, or is that going overboard?
Carissa: Probably not
Carissa: I was going to say that, but couldn't spell it
BOB and for Lemon.... Shake it Off
Carissa: ALSO hasn't it been about three years now you've been playing Lemon?
Lemon: Ooooh, Mambo Number Five but we call it Michael Number Five
Carissa: Random thought I had the other day
Carissa: LOL
Lemon: A little bit of Jericho in his life, a little bit of Talwin by his side
BOB love it
Lemon: I don't know, Carissa, time has no meaning
Carissa: That is fair, except that time now is sleep
Carissa: You can win here because it isn't a competition
Carissa: Night!
Lemon: It is now
'Carissa' disconnected
Lemon: Is she gone yet?
BOB October 1st 2021 was Lemon's first night
BOB and yes Carissa let you have the last log in tonight Lemon
Lemon: Ha!
Lemon: Great, because I've never been so tired in my life
Lemon: Goodnight!
BOB sweet dreams
