seyfert (Vee Barlett): anytime after noon, this is pretty standard :P

GM: OK

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I have no plans except sleep so I can text you if your around and/or you tell me?

'mharmon1' connected

GM: I will plan on being near the screens at Noon and you will text me

GM: Hello Michael

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sounds good! if I'm awake enough it'll be noon otherwise 1, but will plan on that

GM: I will be riding the bike for 25+ miles

GM: then be here

seyfert (Vee Barlett): i have no plans so I can wait if you're still biking

GM: Just letting you know my plans, grins

mharmon1: hey guys what's up

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol appreciate it

Vee Barlett: hi michael!

GM: Life is good How are you Michael

seyfert (Vee Barlett): game 1 of the world series starts soon!!

mharmon1: Pretty good. Hurt my back and knee pretty bad. Trying to take it a bit easy

mharmon1: I'm getting older, can't take those kind of risks anymore

seyfert (Vee Barlett): say the still youngest of us....

mharmon1: Then that means you guys shouldn't do that crap eithr

seyfert (Vee Barlett): it's fineeeee

'Dru5232321' connected

mharmon1: When you have to debate whether or not you want to finish out your yearly deductable for emergency room before insurance covers the rest, that's when you know oyu can't take those risks lol

GM: RYAN!!!!

mharmon1: Hi Ryan!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): well sadly I've been there before so I udnerstand, lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I don't say hi to people until they say hi first because I don't know if they can see it!

GM: Grins

mharmon1: I'll say it once i'll say it again carissa lol, I'm pretty conservative (in values, I hate the republican party), but if there was ever one thing I felt really strong about it was Universal Healthcare for fudge's sake.

mharmon1: Ah, never thought about that in depth for saying hi....well, I'll say it again later LOL

'Shislif' connected

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I agree. No one ever thinks of the fudge, but fudge needs Universal Healthcare

mharmon1: DAMN STRAGHT!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hi ryan!

GM: grins

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and not if I eat it first

Matthias Crowtooth: Heyo neighborinos

mharmon1: OH is it time? Hi RYAN :)

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Monstrous.... That fudge had a family

seyfert (Vee Barlett): don't worry....i at e them, too

mharmon1: hey, as long as I got the medical advice before it was consumed, then I'm good

Shislif: hi everybody!

'Master TMO' connected

GM: Hello TMO

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hi sharif!

GM: and Hello Sharif

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Heyo

mharmon1: or I pay them 500 for them to give me an aspirin and take it easy for a few weeks. And then receive a 100 dollar bill for the two aspirin a month later... and then another 50 for a late fee because you never got the original bill and then another 50 because by the tiem you got through the medical phone center, you've somehow accrued late fees and now are on the verge of a debt collector calling you

mharmon1: or something

seyfert (Vee Barlett): did you ask them to itemize the bill?

mharmon1: No that didn't actually ahppen. I'm effing paranoid. I have a wallet card with the hospitals that are in network and such

mharmon1: But you hear the stories from family and you are like......

seyfert (Vee Barlett): always ask them to itemize, sometimes they'll remove charges that way

GM: So TMO can you give the nutshell version of what has happened since Matty passed otu on the ship?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): advice from my mom who was a nurse auditor and did the bill auditing

mharmon1: For anything major, I'm itemizing the shit out of it. I find it deeply Ironic that most hospitals are registered as charities

seyfert (Vee Barlett): does TMO exist yet?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): It would be more in character for TMO to not know what is going on and react accordingly

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I call it method acting

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

GM: So Carissa are you ready?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yup

Shislif: hello i'm here :)

Master TMO: 1) we found wreckage of the smuggler on the beach, and several hostile former crew who just wanted us to leave. So much so that they told us which way to go (after some persuading)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (tmo is alive! hi tmo!)

Allisa Nolbrae: Ruffus! My doll, how are you doing? What brings you here? and who is this scrumptious little thing you brought

Vee Barlett: dabs a bit of lipstick from the corner of her mouth, annoyed she used it

Master TMO: 2) We hit a little village, found nothing much except pointers to the big city and an incorrigible pickpocket.

Ruffus DeOrange: Allisa, you are not up on your rumors

Ruffus DeOrange: This is my new wife

BOWS

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (that bastard)

Vee Barlett: resists reacting

Master TMO: 3) at big city, we found Ruffus at the Bard College, started 17 different distractions, and then stole 2 bags containing precisely ... "nothing".

Ruffus DeOrange: I am so happy to introduce you to Violet

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): People who get married ARE bastards

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (*destroyed bags)

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): So Carissa isn't wrong

Master TMO: end of summary

Ruffus DeOrange: She has been a bolt from the blue

Vee Barlett: Please to meet ya.

Ruffus DeOrange: I am sorry Allisa that you were not invited to the party

blinks, pause, Blink

Allisa Nolbrae: OH

Allisa Nolbrae: That is so very good

Allisa Nolbrae: My dear I do hope you have a good priest on call

Vee Barlett: Oh?

Allisa Nolbrae: Or someone who can cure disease

Ruffus DeOrange: I am crushed Allisa

Vee Barlett: laughs

Ruffus DeOrange: How can you imply such things

Allisa Nolbrae: You know he has a hollow leg

Matthias Crowtooth: blinks, feelin as though he had awoken from a month-long slumber

Allisa Nolbrae: Leans in to Vee

Vee Barlett: We've yet to get to that part.

mharmon1 (Jericho): (ITS HALLOW STEAL IT) lol

Allisa Nolbrae: Grabs her hair and KISSES her deeply

Matthias Crowtooth: and still can't use all of his fingers properly, apparently

seyfert (Vee Barlett): does rum fit in the leg?

Allisa Nolbrae: Then pulls back

Vee Barlett: blinks

Allisa Nolbrae: I look forward to joining your bed

Smiles

mharmon1 (Jericho): Shudders

seyfert (Vee Barlett): shudders with you

mharmon1 (Jericho): Ithink I just threw up a bit in my mouth

Allisa Nolbrae: and whirls off

Ruffus DeOrange: Sighs

Vee Barlett: turns to Ruffus, brow raised

Ruffus DeOrange: On the one hand, sadly we are not married

Vee Barlett: Bit quick for that, ain't it?

'LemonyLemon' connected

mharmon1 (Jericho): I mean, what two, three, or four consenting adults do in their spare time...I don't judge. So just throwing that out there

Ruffus DeOrange: On the other sadly the three of us likely will not be together in bed

Ruffus DeOrange: but It would be amazing

GM: Welcome Lemon

Vee Barlett: You can keep dreamin' there. Bit too quick for that, too, yeah?

Matthias Crowtooth: Huddling together for warmth? Would save in blankets, I guess.

mharmon1 (Jericho): Hi Lemon!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (Matty is with the others)

Ruffus DeOrange: She would have wanted to carry on for so long

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Hello!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (that's an important part TMO left off - poor Vee is all on her lonesome)

Ruffus DeOrange: It was best to get it over with quickly

Matthias Crowtooth: blinks again, feeling like he just teleported thousands of miles away

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (LEMON SAVE VEE)

Vee Barlett: Who is she?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (lol)

Ruffus DeOrange: Allisa owns the second best brothel in town

Vee Barlett: Ahhh, and she knows you quite well, it seems...

Ruffus DeOrange: She wants to know me better

Shislif (MeLange): ok full attention now :)

Ruffus DeOrange: Or at least my purse strings better

Vee Barlett: And how do you know she's only the second best brothel, eh?

Vee Barlett: smiles

Ruffus DeOrange: Because if you ever tell a woman she is better than everyone else you will never hear the end of it from her

Vee Barlett: rolls eyes

Vee Barlett: Some of us know how to take compliments.

Ruffus DeOrange: You are very good at taking compliments I do agree

Shislif (MeLange): hi Lemon!

Ruffus DeOrange: Walking Vee to the nice Inn on the other side of the square... We should do dinner first

Vee Barlett: Dinner sounds good. What do ya have in mind? I haven't explored this island much as I have wanted.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): brb, sorry, ordering food

Ruffus DeOrange: This is the best Inn in town, just do not tell the chef that, he winks

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

Shislif (MeLange): don't be sorry for ordering food :)

Vee Barlett: laughs

Vee Barlett: And you'll tell me more about yourself there, ya? You asked me plenty, but I haven't had a chance to return the favor.

GM: The two walk in through the doors

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'm starting to wonder if Vee actually might end up being married to this dude.

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (No, you should be sorry. Feel remorse AND SHAME!!! HOW DARE YOU EAT!?!?)

GM: They are shown immediately to a small table in the back near the kitchen doors

GM: A young girl about 8 or 9 brings over wine

mharmon1 (Jericho): Immedietly? Like, he is a good patron here perhaps?

GM: and a basket of rolls

seyfert (Vee Barlett): definitely

mharmon1 (Jericho): (He'sjust a theif who wants to be loved)

Ruffus DeOrange: I can tell you anythign you want to know Violet

Vee Barlett: You are quite well-known around here, it seems.

Ruffus DeOrange: Certainly, that is why you followed me

Vee Barlett: Oh?

Ruffus DeOrange: And why your friends will need your help

Vee Barlett: Which friends?

Ruffus DeOrange: The ones you separated me from, who stayed with my bags

MeLange ears burn

Ruffus DeOrange: It was very well done

Vee Barlett: Only ones I came with were the two you saw me with. I'm sure ones still in the library. Can't say much for the second. Ain't sure he's even a friend currently.

Ruffus DeOrange: A triffle loud perhaps but

Ruffus DeOrange: Do not worry, I appreciate your candor

Vee Barlett: Hmm, and I wonder, why would you pick me out from the crowd then?

Ruffus DeOrange: I am very used to having ..... we shall say Encounters

Ruffus DeOrange: I picked you out of the gathering because you do not belong there

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, you belong in the pirate mafia being a pirate mafia princess

Vee Barlett: My sea shanty gave it away, eh? Not sure it fits for a Bard College.

Vee Barlett: grins

Ruffus DeOrange: You are not quite the type for the College, you seem to have skills in a different vein

Master TMO: (sorry, IRL busy)

Shislif (MeLange): IRL?!?!?!

Vee Barlett: I do enjoy hearing conjectures.

Vee Barlett: Humor me.

Ruffus DeOrange: Your friends are well suited it would seem

Ruffus DeOrange: How would you like me to conjecture over you?

Vee Barlett: Same way I will for you. Want to go first or shall I?

Ruffus DeOrange: You can ask first,

Ruffus DeOrange: Fills her wine glass

Vee Barlett: Ask? Nah, I can simple tell you what I've already noticed and you tell me how close I am. Then I can do the same for you in return. Fair?

Ruffus DeOrange: Here I thought you wanted Truth or Dare

Vee Barlett: laughs

Ruffus DeOrange: But please I am here to explore your mind

Vee Barlett: That can be round two if you get me in the mood for it.

Vee Barlett: Let's see...

Vee Barlett: You have talent. Not just sayin' it since I heard ya, but because you're in Mizzen, not Osterhold. And your colleagues seem to have missed your songs which implies you've been away for a bit, yeah?

Ruffus DeOrange: Sips his wine

Vee Barlett: You have enough money to carry the title lord, and enough appreciation for the arts or respect, or both, that others have no fear asking you to fund their arts.

Ruffus DeOrange: Warm smile

Vee Barlett: Bit hard to find someone who truly does appreciate the arts. I'll give you a compliment there.

Vee Barlett: And you're used to playin' this little game. Ain't saying my source, but was warned of a sweet talkin' ner do well on my way to the theatre. You match half the profile. I'm curious to see if you match the rest.

Vee Barlett: But...

Ruffus DeOrange: Fortunately I know a little music, it is a talent that I always have possessed

Vee Barlett: reaches out to lightly brush his chin

Vee Barlett: Goatees are SO last season. Only ones who still wear them are ner do wells so ain't looking for that rumor and you.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): smiles

Vee Barlett: smiles

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (hides his goatee)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (Vee's dad will happily shave it off if you need!)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Frantically googling goatee because forgot what it looks like)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (oh....)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (huh)

Vee Barlett: You've got this down to an art, too, yeah? The wine, the restaurant that knows you, knowing the right words. It's a bit impressive.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It's very like 90s college boy

Ruffus DeOrange: Is it only half because of the leg? You can just tell me

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (Think of the mountain man beard everyone had during COVID, then remove the sides)

mharmon1 (Jericho): Hey, a few actos here pulledit off well. And some others.......yeah better to shave it off....

Vee Barlett: I will say the leg confuses me. I'd have half a mind to question if you were a pirate, but that ain't very practical on a boat.

Vee Barlett: A little too... fancy.

Ruffus DeOrange: It is an excellent place to hide things

Vee Barlett: And what would someone like you have to hide?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): What WOULDN'T someone like him have to hide?

Ruffus DeOrange: Always tell everyone everything so they think you have nothing to hide

Vee Barlett: smiles

mharmon1 (Jericho): That just means you have more to hide and your throwing out decoys....

Vee Barlett: And ot answer your question, no, the leg doesn't bother me. The goatee... well, I do think you'd look better with a beard, but that's neither here nor there.

Ruffus DeOrange: It takes little effort to grow a beard,

Ruffus DeOrange: It does take effort to properly maintain a particular style of a beard

Vee Barlett: rubs her cheek

Vee Barlett: I'll have to take your word for it.

Ruffus DeOrange: So you know that I am capable of paying attention to details

mharmon1 (Jericho): )He's got me there. To much a PITA to maintain one. That's why I just get it all off my face)

Vee Barlett: Mmhmm. Your turn now, yeah?

Ruffus DeOrange: You are a young lady away from home, wanting to make her own name for herself, not afraid of the family but not overly fond of leaning on them either

Vee Barlett: leans back and sips her wine

mharmon1 (Jericho): Spews out diet coke!

mharmon1 (Jericho): HWO DID HE KNOW!?

mharmon1 (Jericho): lol

Ruffus DeOrange: You are trying to prove to your friends that you can be a leader, that you are capable of being in charge,

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Actually, we kinda just assume she is)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (no need to prove it...)

Ruffus DeOrange: But you hate the idea that they depend on you, you want them to think for themselves and offer up ideas and solutions not just do what you say

mharmon1 (Jericho): .......

Vee Barlett: smiles slightly

Ruffus DeOrange: You want a chance to just let go

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ouch, too real

Ruffus DeOrange: to give in and forget that you are in charge

mharmon1 (Jericho): I know right

seyfert (Vee Barlett): love you alllllll

Ruffus DeOrange: you want me to take you upstairs and not think until the morning

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'll go turn bright red in another chat room....

Ruffus DeOrange: But you know that would be improper and so you restrain yourself

Ruffus DeOrange: To your detriment

Vee Barlett: holds up her still full wine glass

Vee Barlett: Bit early for that still, yeah?

mharmon1 (Jericho): So, he fires a shotgun and hits a few targets, so what! He's not our dad! He can't psychoanalyze us!

Vee Barlett: I ain't a brothel lady.

Vee Barlett: smiles

Ruffus DeOrange: Brothel workers have a price in coin

Ruffus DeOrange: You have a price in reputation

Vee Barlett: Hmm.... well there is a price for everything, true.

Vee Barlett: But there's always a way to haggle.

Ruffus DeOrange: There are no permanent boundries

Ruffus DeOrange: There is always room for give and take

Ruffus DeOrange: Only a young priest with a stick up his butt would not agree

mharmon1 (Jericho): Screw you bob!

mharmon1 (Jericho): :)

Vee Barlett: laughs

Ruffus DeOrange: And they learn eventually

Vee Barlett: Ain't that most priests?

Master TMO: okay, sorry, I think all the distractions are over with.

GM: Love you too Michael

Lorelei Trueshot: Pardon

Lorelei Trueshot: I have a note for you

Lorelei Trueshot: Hands a letter over to Vee

Vee Barlett: takes the note, confused

GM: Pausing here to see if anyone wants to write a note to Vee or if I am the one who wrote it

Master TMO: Bob - is there a way I can copy all of the current text, so I can paste it into something else to read easier, so I can catch up quickly?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): magic

GM: Sadly no to TMO

Master TMO: damn

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oooh, I would love to write a note to Vee

GM: On the DM side yes, on the Players side no

Master TMO: 'cuz this text is fricking tiny to fit on my laptop screen

mharmon1 (Jericho): I did read last weeks, but do we actually no where Vee is? If so, i'd like us to be near for backup if she needs it before Mr. Smooth becomes Mr. Handsie

mharmon1 (Jericho): Otherwise, I got nothing at the moment :(

GM: Ok so Levi gets to write 15 words

seyfert (Vee Barlett): not unless bob says you do

GM: and GO

GM: Vee opens the notes and reads

Vee Barlett: leans back and sips her wine

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I mean she didn't, but she can again

mharmon1 (Jericho): (be aware that Rufus might read it?)

Master TMO: I'm going to try and catch up then. Whisper to me if you need my attention on something

Levi Reed: "We trashed the bags. Goods not there. You better seduce him good or we dead."

seyfert (Vee Barlett): LOL

mharmon1 (Jericho): HOLY SHIT. I need another drink

mharmon1 (Jericho): BRB

mharmon1 (Jericho): And a Towel

User has gone AFK. (mharmon1)

GM: Noice

Vee Barlett: rolls here eyes, crumples up the letter, eyes the candle but decides to just stuff it in her pocket.

Ruffus DeOrange: Are your friends trying to save you?

Vee Barlett: Thinkin' I need new ones, actually.

Vee Barlett: And something harder than wine.

Ruffus DeOrange: Lorelei please bring us our dinners

Lorelei Trueshot: Nods, certanly my lord

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Well at least we know that Levi knows where she is. Hopefully this doesn't get too dark, but we could be nearby to slice any vigerous appendiges if necessary)

Ruffus DeOrange: I think your friends are ..... interesting? adorable?

Vee Barlett: Adorable...?

Vee Barlett: barks a laugh

Vee Barlett: You want 'em?

Ruffus DeOrange: It is cute how they really are so very earnest in trying to distract me from you

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): More like incompetent

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (lol)

Vee Barlett: Mmm, and how is that going?

Ruffus DeOrange: Protecting you by also distracting me thinking I did not notice

Vee Barlett: leans a little closer

mharmon1 (Jericho): Yeah...I mean....We spend an hour figuring out how to steal bags from a completely empty room. I still feel like a moron

Ruffus DeOrange: I think you are not distracted at all

Ruffus DeOrange: I think you are still on the hunt

Vee Barlett: I've been told I got a one-track mind before.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *single tract? note to self: google that for story chat

Ruffus DeOrange: I am certain they failed to understand just how creative you can be

Vee Barlett: I think they fail to see I have more goals than I let on.

Ruffus DeOrange: More abilities too

mharmon1 (Jericho): She speaks like a foul mouthed sailer. We know exactly how creative she can be

Vee Barlett: nods and drinks a bit more wine

Ruffus DeOrange: Takes Vee's hand and kisses it again

Vee Barlett: Keep it up and you may get that night you seem to want.

Vee Barlett: pauses

Vee Barlett: But only two. I ain't doin' no threes.

Ruffus DeOrange: Oh I think that would be the second best thing that can happen

Vee Barlett: I'm wounded. What would be the first?

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

Ruffus DeOrange: You telling me why you are following me

mharmon1 (Jericho): There it is

Vee Barlett: Same reason you're treatin' me to dinner, yeah? You got something I want, I got something you want. But neither of us are keen to say it.

Ruffus DeOrange: If you tell me what you want, will you give me what I want?

mharmon1 (Jericho): That's a wordplay trap if I've ever heard one

Vee Barlett: Don't sound like a fair deal to me. You get information, and I have to give somethin' for it?

Ruffus DeOrange: What do you think I want?

Ruffus DeOrange: Sips his wine and smiles

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

Vee Barlett: We've clearly established ain't neither of us mindreaders. Easy to say you'd want a night of fun, but I tihnk you want something more than that. You can get that anywhere else, but innocent as you made it sound, there's something you tihnk only I can give you.

Vee Barlett: Reason we're both still here. A little mystery.

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (ok, caught up)

Vee Barlett: holds up the wine

Ruffus DeOrange: Building a mystery

Vee Barlett: And some good food and drink.

Ruffus DeOrange: The food is good, the wine is acceptable

Ruffus DeOrange: The company is better

Vee Barlett: I think you took somethin' that ain't yours. For fun? Sounds like your coin purse is full enough, but you're not quite sure where to go from here. How's that conjecture for you?

Vee Barlett: Mm, the company is a bit more fun than I was expecting. I'll give you that, too.

Ruffus DeOrange: Smiles

Ruffus DeOrange: If I was the sort of person to have things that were not easily transferable at the local marketplace

mharmon1 (Jericho): Snort

Ruffus DeOrange: You would be someone that has the talent to take care of that I see

Vee Barlett: smiles

Vee Barlett: Glad you ain't an idiot.

Ruffus DeOrange: There are often many people who want to buy but that is how you end up being the fourth best brothel wench

Vee Barlett: laughs

Ruffus DeOrange: If you just accept any offer

Vee Barlett: That's short term thinkin'

Ruffus DeOrange: Exactly

Vee Barlett: So you have a proposition? You've given this thought, clearly.

Ruffus DeOrange: I would say that I have always had alternatives to my original plans

Ruffus DeOrange: and you might be a good emergency option

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): He wants in with the pirate mafia maybe

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (yes thinking that)

Vee Barlett: You're assuming you'll get those other options first.

Ruffus DeOrange: Kisses her hand again, I already have a better option

Vee Barlett: flips his hand over to twine their fingers

Vee Barlett: You make me your first option, and maybe we can make this a good night, yeah?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Vee whips out a contract and a lawyer

Ruffus DeOrange: You are very lovely

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Pocket Lawyer (tm)

mharmon1 (Jericho): I still think he's a goober, but hey with "Lord" as a title, even in the underworld he might be convenient. Although, gotta be honest, never saw that angle coming

seyfert (Vee Barlett): darn it where is mini? thjat's what lirt is for

mharmon1 (Jericho): It's called a cell phone with Chat GPD.

Ruffus DeOrange: I will offer this

Ruffus DeOrange: You go arrange a room for the two of us

Ruffus DeOrange: I will arrange to have anything that is too precious to interfeer with our bargain to be left in a convient place

Ruffus DeOrange: and I will join you and we can explore just how creative you can be

mharmon1 (Jericho): Jeeze, how much stuff can he cram in that leg???

Vee Barlett: smiles and leans closer

Vee Barlett: You know anything about how dolphins hunt?

Ruffus DeOrange: Not at all

Vee Barlett: lowers her voice

Vee Barlett: They're not dumb enough to let their prey out of their sight. That's how you lose the tuna.

Ruffus DeOrange: Laughs deeply

mharmon1 (Jericho): Shudders again

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Getting too close is how you get canned with the tuna

seyfert (Vee Barlett): exactly!

mharmon1 (Jericho): So manyquotes of the night

Ruffus DeOrange: Reaches down to his bag and pulls out a bottle of rum

Ruffus DeOrange: Hands it to Vee

Ruffus DeOrange: Take that to our room for me please?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oh man, I'm no longer able to drink rum now. Bummer

mharmon1 (Jericho): I never drank, but this storyline has confirmed it as a solid life choice

Vee Barlett: looks it over and sees if the cap is loose

GM: Sealed bottle wrapped in silver wire

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Roll perception?

Vee Barlett: raises brow

Vee Barlett: You plan to split a single bottle between two of us?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Jiggle it around and here if there is a "TINK" lol

Ruffus DeOrange: Do you know how pirates hunt?

Vee Barlett: Ruthlessly.

Ruffus DeOrange: Exactly

Vee Barlett: holds out hand for another bottle

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Just swig it in your mouth and spit it back into the bottle. Bam, enough for two

Ruffus DeOrange: When they see a prize they keep after it

Ruffus DeOrange: I will see you in our room

mharmon1 (Jericho): I can't tell if he's a genious, moderetly intelligent, or just thinking with his Parrot. I got nothing on figuring this dude out

Vee Barlett: eyes him but decides to go along with it for now

mharmon1 (Jericho): Good job so far Carissa

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (if Levi can send her a letter maybe he's close)

Ruffus DeOrange: He stands and takes care of her chair

Vee Barlett: And how long do you plan to be, dear?

Ruffus DeOrange: Places a hand on her hip

Ruffus DeOrange: and his mouth on her neck

Ruffus DeOrange: warm soft

mharmon1 (Jericho): ick

Ruffus DeOrange: then deep growl, I will not wait

mharmon1 (Jericho): May need to take a shower to get that sleeze off you

Vee Barlett: 10 minutes or you'll become tuna.

Ruffus DeOrange: Then he steps back, picks up his bag and moves to the front desk

Ruffus DeOrange: Glances back, I will be the one who dines first

GM: and we break here

GM: jump back to the rest of the group

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (boy does the group owe her after all that lol)

mharmon1 (Jericho): Wow bob. He might be smooth but I just get the ICK vibe

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): so gross

GM: the Reason Levi was able to get the letter over was at the Library

mharmon1 (Jericho): Yes we do.

mharmon1 (Jericho): Holy shit

GM: and handed it to her

Matthias Crowtooth: contemplates the horrors and depravities of the world.

GM: Handed it to the librarian

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): have poked JTom

GM: Based on the description of Ruffus

GM: Thank you TMO

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oh happy dagger, here is your sheathe.

GM: Matty can be at the library now

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): he's been ill, so may not be up for it

GM: and Melange and Levi can fill him in

seyfert (Vee Barlett): it's okay, just let mini know we miss him but he's allowed to rest up

GM: no worries, tell him to do whe he can

GM: and that I updated his sheet for him to second level

GM: 3 1st level spells to cast a day and up to 8 HP

GM: the priest thing was there so I deleted and we will deal with that later

Levi Reed: Hey, Matty, guess what

Matthias Crowtooth: I had a stroke and was comatose for three weeks?

Levi Reed: We trashed that dude's bags and the good rum wasn't in it, so now I'm letting Vee try to seduce him out of it

Levi Reed: Yeah that too

Levi Reed: You're fine

GM: and also sorry TMO Allysa will not be in, and we are hoping that this is the last event for Angelica to miss

seyfert (Vee Barlett): 8 hp for a mage? nmiceee

mharmon1 (Jericho): (I'm assuming Jericho is withthem?)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): walk it off, just walk it off

GM: Yes to Miachel

Levi Reed: Plus I don't know if you heard, but Jericho is going to die if we don't get this church stuff back to the church in a month

mharmon1 (Jericho): Slaps hand to face

Matthias Crowtooth: Oh, uh..... I feel like I am missing a lot of context, like.... who is Vee seducing?

GM: ROthuss, Matty and Jerico show up at the library

Jericho: Slaps hand to face

Levi Reed: That duke or whatever that stole the stuff we're looking for

Jericho: Levi, you're not supposed to just spread that around. I alreay feel like a dumbass

Levi Reed: The whole reason we're here?

GM: Lirt is examining ocean charts

'JtomTMO' connected

Matthias Crowtooth: Oh, why not just kill him?

GM: Melange was looking at fish

Levi Reed: Look, Jericho, everyone needs to have a sense of urgency about this so you don't die

Matthias Crowtooth: I have a dagger missing a sheathe. He can fill in.

GM: Levi was researchign trees

Jericho: Well....notthe only reason. Vee was the one who got the quest disguised as a trip through hell

Levi Reed: Because of politics or some shit

Jericho: I just managed to get myself screwed sideways

Matthias Crowtooth: Then why aren't you seducing the duke?

Levi Reed: I've never tried it that way

MeLange: Oh my god these fish!

Matthias Crowtooth: Never know what you like until you try

GM: Note also it is the 10th and the Geas is for the 28th so there is time

mharmon1 (Jericho): .....

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol levi

Jericho: .....

Jericho: I'm not seducing a duke even on a death curse

Rothuss Carder: Why not?

Jericho: Hell, I fell like garbage that Vee might be

Jericho: There is literally no way to make up for this

MeLange: but you think you could sedure a duke Jericho? like if you wanted to?

-> Vee Barlett: Are you ok with me writing up a short scene to plop in when they are done?

Matthias Crowtooth: So... you feel like garbage forcing a friend to seduce someone, but that is still preferable to you seducing them...?

Levi Reed: She's probably going to stab him later and really enjoy it or something, I wouldn't worry about it

Vee Barlett: yep that's fine!

Rothuss Carder: Sure there is! You might have to be a bit creative, but I'm sure there's a way.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hi mini!

Jericho: MeLange? You know me. How likely do you think I could seduce ANYONE?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hope you're feeling okay!

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Hello!

Matthias Crowtooth: With a lot of rum, probably

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you all are talking at the library so Lirt is there

MeLange: Exactly Jericho, but if they needed healing you'd be on that like bear on honey. We all have our talents

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Heyo!

Jericho: Well yeah. I'd heal someone. Sleeping with them is something else entirel you know?

Jericho: I'm already counting up the rum I'm gonna owe Vee

Matthias Crowtooth: Having attempted to heal someone, and having attempted to seduce someone, I can confirm that they are not the same thing.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Jericho: Coughs

Levi Reed: You could if you pt a little effort into it

Jericho: Levi!

Jericho: Baffled

Rothuss Carder: Never quite understood how prudish some people can be, y'know?

Levi Reed: But you're just like "oh no poor me, the church is so importnatn"

Jericho: Why are you so insistent on me trying to seduce someone?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): they're called "happy ending" healing massages

-> Vee Barlett: Make a dex check twice please

Levi Reed: Like just think about yourself for awhile

Levi Reed: You'll get there

Vee Barlett: remind me how to hide that?

Rothuss Carder: It's like going dancing.

Jericho: Well, yes. But no matter how much I loved the church, I ainst seducing no one

Matthias Crowtooth: Yeah, why ARE you so insistent on having him take responsibility for his actions...?

Jericho: Laughs

-> Vee Barlett: Roll into the dice tower lower right corner

Vee Barlett: [TOWER] [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 17]

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Vee Barlett: [TOWER] [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 1]

Vee Barlett: that work?

-> Vee Barlett: AWESOME

Matthias Crowtooth -> Levi Reed: I miss our talks, and now I'm going to roll a dice without explanation

Jericho: And Prudish?

Jericho: Thinks about it

Vee Barlett: I hope that's the opposite of OK as in they're good rolls....

Matthias Crowtooth: [d20 = 8]

MeLange: Jericho is the one seduced... by the church!

Lirtimya: Just watching I'm assuming - or reading a book

Jericho: Wait what do you mean about that?

Jericho: Prudish?

Rothuss Carder: Well, can't think of a better term for it.

Jericho: Hey, I'm not exactly into men, but I'm not anti sex or anytihng

Jericho: Prudish?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol Lirt finds the book more interesting than their chatter - smart ;)

Jericho: Good gods man

MeLange: prudish is a trigger yall

Jericho: Prudish

Levi Reed -> Matthias Crowtooth: girl, same

Jericho: Do you know what that word is what you think it means?

Rothuss Carder: Funny, I was gonna ask you the same thing.

Rothuss Carder: grins.

Jericho: Get me some gods damned hand cuffs and I'll show you prudish

Jericho: Grunts

Levi Reed: Yeah, I'm sorry Jericho but...

Matthias Crowtooth: Prude.... Proood...... Where does that come from? I hear prude, think prune, and am not sure how that word came to be.

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Most likely, yes Carissa

Levi Reed: wow, yikes, ok

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): don't tempt Levi here, Jericho

Levi Reed: I'm just saying, this is the aura you project

Rothuss Carder: handcuffs, eh? Well, this is a side of you I don't think I've seen before.

Jericho: Hey I'm admitting my part in this fuckery, but I'm NOT prudish

Jericho: Stews

Rothuss Carder: bows.

Rothuss Carder: I apologize if I've offended.

Matthias Crowtooth: I mean, if you are involved in fuckery, you can still be prudish. Having sex doesn't make you a slut, you know.

Levi Reed: The fact that everyone here thought you were a prude until this very instant should give you pause for thought, my friend

Jericho: For FUCKS SAKE, DROP IT

MeLange: fuckery?

Jericho: So what, maybe some of ya'lls charm rubbed off on me.

MeLange: what fuckery is this?

Levi Reed: So anyway, should we go bust in there and save Vee or let her sweat it out?

Matthias Crowtooth: Anyways, having recovered from my coma, is there anything we can do to help Vee?

Jericho: Hell, call it rubbed off on me in a prusish way

Jericho: Yes let's go

MeLange: Jericho would love to bust in there

Rothuss Carder: I don't know about busting in, but being on hand if she should call for help would probably be nice.

Jericho: I've better things then to be insulted as a Prudish. A stick up my ass fine, but Prudish

Jericho: Grumbles

Levi Reed: I sent a note telling her to seduce him really good, I bet it would be a pleasant surprise if we all showed up to the party

MeLange: Jericho, you need a hug man?

MeLange: prompts

seyfert (Vee Barlett): too bad she didn't send one back that says, "yeah he knows about you all"

Jericho: I say, we DON"T barge in on her, for fear of screwing something up, but we stay nearby in case there's an issue

MeLange: come here buddy

Jericho: Sighs

Jericho: Hugs MeLange

Lirtimya: I can fill the room with fog, and we can get out of there quickly if needed.

MeLange: there we goo

Jericho: Don't you say a goddamn word Levi

Levi Reed: That's so BORING

Jericho: grunts

MeLange: isn't that nice?

Levi Reed: I want to catch the duke with his pants down. Not literally, figure of speech.

Matthias Crowtooth: If there is a room with fog, no one will see us stabby-stabby the duke guy

MeLange: sometimes boring is a classic

Levi Reed: Hand in the cookie jar

Levi Reed: You know, something not sexual

Jericho: Who's cookie jar?

Jericho: Is this another Prudish debate?

Jericho: Fuck it

Jericho: Let's go

Matthias Crowtooth: Gods below, what has been happening while I was gone.

Levi Reed: Well since you're anti prude, I'll let you lead the way

Jericho: I'll stay nearby in case a healer is needed but when it comes to sneaky sneaky I leave that to you

Jericho: And don't call me prude

Jericho: Almost shouts

seyfert (Vee Barlett): anarchy, matty, anarchy

Levi Reed: I SAID anti-prude

GM: To be clear you do NOT know where Vee is,

Jericho: Oh

Jericho: Deflates slightly

Levi Reed: Gods, just LISTEN to the words people say

Jericho: Huh

GM: Your librarian sent the note to someone to chase down Ruffus

Jericho: Yeah I got no comeback for that

GM: He is hard to miss with the pearl inlay leg

Jericho: I'm gonna log that one away

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oh, so how do we figure it out?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Anyone?

Shislif (MeLange): figure what out?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I mean, I've got signaling, but for that to work we'd need to know where she is

mharmon1 (Jericho): So the librarian found them, but not us

mharmon1 (Jericho): Hm

Levi Reed: Lirt, you got any spells that can find a person?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I have detect noise. Can I use it as a Detect Scent instead? Pretty sure Vee isn't particular about bathing

GM: The librarian knows messengers, she does not know where exactly he is right now

GM: That is the job for the messengers

GM: the Irrregulars as it were

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Also, why didn't you have Matty do the seducing? I have a 15 in tumbling

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol

mharmon1 (Jericho): lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So does the messenger come back to collect payment or something?

mharmon1 (Jericho): That's actually pretty funny haha

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We can wait for him to get back and then ask

Shislif (MeLange): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

GM: SO spending hours in the library

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Levi did try to seduce, but he apparently only had eyes for Vee and/or women

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It's going to take hours???

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and someone Vee and Lirt are the only women in this crew?????

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, Levi tries to seduce everyone

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I've got nothing that could help us find her, except navigation and observation. Unless she left a giant signal of where she is

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *somehow

GM: you are waiting for the messenger to return

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'm trying to think bob. I'm sorry I got nothing right away

seyfert (Vee Barlett): bat signal!

GM: I will go with the idea that once no one returns after a hour or three you will come up with another plan

The time is 10:00 PM

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Probably just check the most fancy hotels

Jericho: Walks up to Libarian. "Do you know where we migh find Rufus DeOrange by any chance?"

Rothuss Carder: Inns or taverns, maybe?

Rothuss Carder: It's always where I start looking for someone.

Matthias Crowtooth: Despite his name, he is said to be more of a pinkish tone.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol

Lirtimya: I suggest checking the fancier inns first, then the taverns

Alianore Rainward: (the person doing story chat will fill in the correct name of the librarian here) I am certain that that young ruffian will be in a bar deep in his cups with some young woman who does not know what she is dealing with

Jericho: Blinks

Jericho: Oh

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lmao

Jericho: We are wondering if a young woman friend of ours might be with this ruffian

Levi Reed: Fantastic, any tips on which bar?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): that poor sucker

Jericho: Do you happen to have any ideas on where we might look for her first?

Jericho: I do apologize for our more frantic tone

Alianore Rainward: There are several bars scattered in the next square over

Jericho: Nods

Alianore Rainward: There are two that have very nice views of the castle, perhaps he is there?

MeLange: bars?

Levi Reed: Sounds good, let's head that way

Jericho: Thank you so very much! We want to check on her. Do you know the names by any chance?

Levi Reed: Lirt, you done with these books or?

Matthias Crowtooth: runs off

Lirtimya: I'm ready to leave whenever

Alianore Rainward: The Royal Pig, the Gold Palm, and the Loaded Dice are the three that are the most well known

mharmon1 (Jericho): (what is odd to me is that like....everyone seems to know this ruffian lol. It's kind of hilarious)

Levi Reed: I vote loaded dice

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Hard to miss a guy who is orange

Jericho: I sincerely appreciate your information ma'am. We just want to make sure she's safe.

Jericho: We worry you know?

Levi Reed: Ok, I'm going to dice. Lirt, you go to the gold palm and... um...

Alianore Rainward: I have not heard of him harming anyone, at least not physically

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Tries to decide who's the most competent of the people who are left

Jericho: pauses

Levi Reed: Jericho, you go to the pig

Lirtimya: I can do that

Jericho: well....that's at least a better sceanior then I'm imagining right now. Thank you

Jericho: I'll go to the Pig

Levi Reed: Matty and Rothuss, pick your poison

Jericho: Anyone want to come with me?

mharmon1 (Jericho): So me and Lirt to the Pig?

Lirtimya: I wouldn't mind someone with a bit of skill in fighting to come with me

MeLange: i'll come!

MeLange: what we doing?

Matthias Crowtooth: Uh.... I guess I will go with Levi

Jericho: Deflates a bit

Jericho: Deflates a bit

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Lirt is going to the dice

MeLange: don't you deflate in my direction Jericho

Jericho: Smiles

Jericho: My bad.

Matthias Crowtooth: Stay deflated if you aren't going to help with the seducing.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): No, I'm going to the dice, lirt to the gold fan, jericho to the pig

MeLange: that's the correct response

seyfert (Vee Barlett): toss him with the seducer, Rothuss, it's like it's destiny

Levi Reed: Ok, Matty you go with Lirt

MeLange: I thought we were starting to get along, past the hump that kind of thing

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Ah got it! I misread that

Jericho: Slaps face

Matthias Crowtooth: waves his arms in frustration

MeLange: whoa

Matthias Crowtooth: Sure, I'll go with Lirt.

GM: All puns intended Sharif

Jericho: MeLange, I think we all tood it out of context

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Jericho: I'm heading ot the Pig now

Levi Reed: Mel and Rothuss, one to the pig, one to the dice, choose now

Levi Reed: Or I will choose for you

Jericho: I'm legitimately worried. Vee can take care of herself, but I did help cause this issue

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): (God, I say this so many times a day in preschool)

MeLange: Fine Mr. Bossy

GM: chuckles

MeLange: I go PIg

mharmon1 (Jericho): I taught college and said it a few times. People don't change, they just get bigger

Levi Reed: Alright, Rothuss you're with me

Lirtimya: Let's go, the less time we take the less time Vee has to suffer with that fool

GM: OK so we are at the Golden Palm

Shislif (MeLange): to be fair Mel already said he would go with Jericho

Rothuss Carder: Righty-ho, Levi! Lead on!

Falk Handrick: Puts out a strong arm to block your path in the door

Falk Handrick: We are full

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (which group is this? I lost track)

Lirtimya: We don't plan to stay, we're looking for a friend, been out too long we're worried

Falk Handrick: Good for you to worry, but you are not getting in

Matthias Crowtooth: Ducks under the arm and keeps moving

Falk Handrick: GRABS Matty

Matthias Crowtooth: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 18]

Falk Handrick: THUMPS him down in the street

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): well, bloop

Matthias Crowtooth: Well, bloop

mharmon1 (Jericho): couldjust ask if Rufus Deorange is in tonight

Lirtimya: Could you at least tell us if they're in there?

Matthias Crowtooth: coughs

Matthias Crowtooth: Sorry, was worried about my friend and lost my composure, friend.

Falk Handrick: If you give me a reason to

Lirtimya: Just sighs and Mattias getting thrown for trying to walk by the arm

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Shislif (MeLange): brb refill

Lirtimya: Because otherwise if something happens to her it'll be on you

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Matthias Crowtooth: Your good deeds will live in song and dance among my people if you tell us.

Falk Handrick: Nice try but I am not your friends keeper

Matthias Crowtooth: grumbles and offers a silver

Falk Handrick: It seems like if something happens to her it will be on you for abandoning her

seyfert (Vee Barlett): come on lawyer lirt! pull out some legal mumbo jumbo!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): fake or not!

Lirtimya: Scowls

Falk Handrick: Makes the coin disapear

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): from across the street? Impressive

Lirtimya: Listen, I was just reading in the legal section at the library, it would be your fault, seeing as you seem to be the security here, you're responsible

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Pocket lawyer strikes again!

Matthias Crowtooth: Plus, you just accepted a silver to tell us. We'd appreciate it, friend.

Falk Handrick: I would be responsible you are right. I would be responsible if I let you in and someone got in trouble because I was not following the regulations. So that means you should be glad I am so responsible and I am not letting you in

Falk Handrick: To tell you what?

Matthias Crowtooth: Can you at least tell us if they are in?

Falk Handrick: I have not heard yet a who

Falk Handrick: Can you hear a who?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): What are the regulations?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Is this like in Labyrinth? "None shall pass without my permission!" "Well, may we have your permission?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (be like Mario, make it up, Section 7, Subsection 10 of the Treaty of Demise or something)

mharmon1 (Jericho): Rufus deorange is a prettty solid bet wince we knew Vee was likely with him

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Oh I'm forgetting, what was the fake name Vee gave herself?

GM: Grins if Lirt can make things up....

Matthias Crowtooth: A Rufus deOrange, and a young lady

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Violet

seyfert (Vee Barlett): come on Lirt, I believe in you! she reads so she can easily toss things at him

Matthias Crowtooth: Well, you may not have realized she was a lady based on how she looked, but she tells me she is.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): wow. ouch.

Lirtimya: Matt!!

Matthias Crowtooth: Of course, she is a known liar, and doesn't act very lady-like, thinking of it...

Matthias Crowtooth: What?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): One ! not 2

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Falk Handrick: Deorange is not in town, at least he has not been here in a couple of months

Falk Handrick: If that is who you think stole your girl then you are chasing ghosts

Matthias Crowtooth: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 10] [d20 = 20]

Lirtimya: Well, according to the law and your conscious, which is more important? Following a rule about spacing, or helping save someone?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I have no idea if he is telling the truth, sorry

seyfert (Vee Barlett): is now when we tell matty that lirt got the promotion or do we wait?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Should I roll wisdon too?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I am alone with Lirt and a knife, so now is good

mharmon1 (Jericho): Are there ayn windows you could look through if you still have doubts?

Falk Handrick: [d20 = 14]

Falk Handrick: I told you he is not in here,

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Matty: Wait, Lirt got the promotion...? So... if I want you to keep quiet about a murder you are about to witness, do I give you another silver, Falk?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Then what did you roll that d20 for, ehhhh?

Falk Handrick: If you think I am lying to you then you have more issues than a missing friend

Matthias Crowtooth: Plenty more issues, unfortunately.

Matthias Crowtooth: Many, many more issues that I am sure Lirt and I will be talking about in raised voices in the near future.

Lirtimya: Scowls, having taken quite the disliking to Falk

Matthias Crowtooth: But, if you swear that they aren't here, we will have no choice but to believe you.

mharmon1 (Jericho): I mean....I worked security for two years and hated people like us so.....

mharmon1 (Jericho): I think we approached that quite wrong lol

mharmon1 (Jericho): :D

mharmon1 (Jericho): At least you dind't threaten to go after his job and bitch about his repuatiotion to his manager and try to get him fired

Falk Handrick: Looks Matty up and down

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Good, can't wait to see what Jericho does during his turn

mharmon1 (Jericho): (In this world, I still won't do it right would be my guess)

Falk Handrick: I have not seen Deorange in months

Lirtimya: Let's head to the next place Matt, they're not here, and I'd rather you not say something and get beat up in a sidestreet.

Matthias Crowtooth: Then I thank you for your time and am sorry for the rough nature of our meeting.

Falk Handrick: I am clean

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): BS, he's so not sorry

Falk Handrick: Have a pleasant evening

Matthias Crowtooth: waves and runs off

mharmon1 (Jericho): Is Lirtimya actually a lawyer goal? That's pretty cool if she is

Lirtimya: nods and follows Matt

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (and he totally doesn't run like Steven Seagal)

mharmon1 (Jericho): We could always use a good lawyer :D

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Not a lawyer, just making stuff up

Shislif (MeLange): lol

GM: So now over to the Royal Pig

mharmon1 (Jericho): eh, close enough :)

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'm about to be punished

MeLange: Why they call it The "Royal Pig"?

MeLange: Jericho?

Jericho: Inns are just named after thing syou know?

Jericho: They sometimes have good stories

MeLange: so they know a royal pig?

Jericho: And sometimes....

Jericho: well

User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)

Jericho: Er

Kyrtaar Calauth: GRABS the drunk by the neck and THROWS several quick jabs into his gut

Kyrtaar Calauth: [d20 = 16]

MeLange: whoa!

Kyrtaar Calauth: [d20 = 4]

seyfert (Vee Barlett): duno, just know Vee keeps claiming it - up to Lirt to decide if she wants that to be true

Jericho: Throws an arm out to stop MeLange

MeLange: violence

seyfert (Vee Barlett): LOL you got the blood dice??

Kyrtaar Calauth: AND STAY OUT

Jericho: Uh yes, I quite agree

GM: Grins did you doubt I would?

MeLange: Don't worry I'm good

MeLange: not looking to fight

MeLange: yet

Jericho: Yeah, you're better at that sort of thing then me

MeLange: than me

Jericho: I think our bouncer has had a tiring evening

Kyrtaar Calauth: Tosses the uncouncous body off to the side

MeLange: sure looks that way

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol I don't always pay attention to the emails but BLOOD DICE made me need to look

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Is that the cue for Matty to jump out with chloroform, Jericho?

MeLange: Hello sir!

MeLange: I like your form!

Jericho: Are you okay?

Kyrtaar Calauth: HEY Kollor you need to clean up the front again

Kyrtaar Calauth: Looks Melange over

Kyrtaar Calauth: grunts, Thanks

Jericho: Did that man hurt you?

Jericho: glances at teh unconsious man

Kyrtaar Calauth: That shrimp?

MeLange: really threw that guy for good distance, and without throwing out your back, that's skill

Jericho: Hell I'll say

Kyrtaar Calauth: Nods, thanks

Jericho: Loooks at the man

Kyrtaar Calauth: He should be fine in the morning

Jericho: Sighs in releif

seyfert (Vee Barlett): i forgot how stressful it is to watch the world series

MeLange: he's breathing

Jericho: I mean, that was actually kind of cool, if not somethign I would wish on myself

MeLange: I told you this guys has skills

Jericho: Shrugs

MeLange: there's a beauty to violence at times

MeLange: I'm MeLange sir, it's a pleasure to watch you work

MeLange: gestures towards the bouncer

Kyrtaar Calauth: Kyrtarr

Jericho: Hey We sincerely apologize for bothering you, and we certainly don't want to end up like that, so would you mind if we looked for our sister? She was last seen with a Rufus De'Orange? We just want to make sure she's okay. We don't want to cause you any trouble

Kyrtaar Calauth: What can I do for you

MeLange: a pleasure Kyrtarr

Kyrtaar Calauth: That is easy

Jericho: Perks up

Jericho: Is she okay?

Kyrtaar Calauth: I have not seen Deorange in a couple of months

Kyrtaar Calauth: hard to miss him

Jericho: Deflates a bit

MeLange: oh that's a long t ime

Kyrtaar Calauth: [d20 = 6]

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): keep it in the pants, Jericho

MeLange: sorry my friend here used to be a balloon

Jericho: Ah, well I sincerely do appreciate your time. You helped a lot more then most. Thank you so very much

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): lol

Jericho: And to be honest, it actually was kind of cool to watch that

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): loll

Jericho: so

Jericho: Damn

Kyrtaar Calauth: Why are you so concerned about Deorange

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So now we know that flattery will get us everywhere with Michael

Kyrtaar Calauth: mostly it is the young fops or girls looking for trouble

Jericho: Shakes head

Jericho: It' snot him we are worried about

Jericho: Grins

Jericho: our sister is a bit more of our worry

Kyrtaar Calauth: How did you lose your sister?

MeLange: Yea Jericho

Jericho: Would you laugh if I said she went looking for De Orange?

MeLange: how did we lose her?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, you know how it is with women. Can't trust them to make their own decisions.

Jericho: Winces

Jericho: I know it's dumb, we just worry

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Shislif (MeLange): I think Vee will be fine, why are we doing this anyway?

Kyrtaar Calauth: It is good to worry about family

Shislif (MeLange): silly Jericho

MeLange: yea but sometimes a person can also worry too much

MeLange: just saying

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): So we can bust in on her drinking rum out of a bottle with a living orange and hold it over her head for the rest of her life, Shislif

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

MeLange: lol fair

Shislif (MeLange): OOC

Jericho: I know all right? I'm sorry sir. I just get worried easily. The local librarian said he's a bit of a ruffian, which is fine, but I worry nontheless

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Well we have to do SOMETHING

Kyrtaar Calauth: Which librarian?

Jericho: Sigh

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We can't just sit around at the library all night

MeLange: It's true Kyrtaar

GM: See BOB can be evil

MeLange: Jericho loves to worry

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): this town has more than ONE librarian???? O_O

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oh we already knew BOB could be evil

Jericho: Shrugs. Someone down the street at the lbirary. Thataway

Jericho: Points

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): That was never in question

Kyrtaar Calauth: [d20 = 13]

Jericho: I was pretty sure it was a librariran, but quite a few messengeers were coming and going I think

Jericho: Shrugs

Kyrtaar Calauth: Shrugs

Jericho: I just assumed

MeLange: Jericho assumes often

MeLange: it's like a hobby

Jericho: Look I know I'm dumb okay

Jericho: Sighs at Melange

MeLange: whoa whoa whoa

Kyrtaar Calauth: It is good to have hobbies

MeLange: enough with the harsh self talk Jericho

MeLange: uncalled for buddy

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Maybe he's dumb but he is NOT a prude

mharmon1 (Jericho): LOL

Jericho: Deep breath

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Jericho: I'm sorry. Just a bit worked up. Vee is a pain in my ass, but she's still family

MeLange: you're not dumb Jericho, you're passionate

Jericho: Rolls eyes

MeLange: which is cool, just needs direction

Jericho: Shaeks head. How do we ever get on these topics

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): let's just swap the first letters of those, okay? Not dumb, not a prude. Swap the first letters, so it becomes Plum Dude.

Kyrtaar Calauth: I would say you are not drinking enough

MeLange: well i think it's a good topic

MeLange: what solution do you propose Kyrtaar?

Kyrtaar Calauth: Talk Less, Smile More

Jericho: Anyways Kyrtaer, I appreciate your time. i know you might be on duty, but here's for when you get off? I'm not sure what this will buy here, but I hope it does well for you. Thanks for not being cruel about me over woryying.

Jericho: Offers a silver

MeLange: good advice

Kyrtaar Calauth: Takes the coin, Thank you

Jericho: God life lessons all around today

Jericho: Maybe I should take up drinking

Jericho: And don't you dare tell the others I said that MeLange

MeLange: It's been a pleasure to watch you work Kyrtaar, may your days be long and restful

Kyrtaar Calauth: Nods,

Jericho spent 1 GP on

Kyrtaar Calauth: Be safe

MeLange: I won't tell them Jericho

MeLange: aat some point you'll have to start trusting me

mharmon1 (Jericho): Hm. I didn't break change correctly I don't think

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'll have to figure out later

MeLange Nods

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol no it did not

Jericho: Waves kindly

Jericho: Let's go. One more bar eh?

MeLange: don't wave nod, we were all nodding

seyfert (Vee Barlett): it's fine, I noticed some discrepencies in the money that anyways I need to sort later

GM: and so our last group at the last bar

Jericho: Oh

Jericho: Changes to Nod

MeLange: nice

seyfert (Vee Barlett): but note to self: Jericho spent one SILVER not one GOLD

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Jericho: Yes. Very much yes

Jericho: Holy shit

mharmon1 (Jericho): Doesn't help that screen is SO HARD to read haha

mharmon1 (Jericho): but that's the engines fault

Shislif (MeLange): true

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): but note to self: Matty ran back and gave the security guy 15 gold for dealing with Lirt-the-no-good-job-stealer

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

GM: [d100 = 2]

mharmon1 (Jericho): wait what?

Ailís Redshadow: HAH

Ailís Redshadow: That was doule or nothing

seyfert (Vee Barlett): that's either REALLY good or REALLY bad

Ailís Redshadow: so now you owe me... um

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): is this Levi and me, or someone else?

Ailís Redshadow: I think that was up to 20 pickles?

mharmon1 (Jericho): (10 SP to 1 gold)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (Right?)

Levi Reed: Yummm, pickles

Naamah Orbarrow: Sigh, it was 40 but I should only let you have 20 just to teach you how to count

Ailís Redshadow: I know how to count just fine

Ailís Redshadow: See

Ailís Redshadow: 1

Ailís Redshadow: 2

Ailís Redshadow: POKES two fingers at her eyes

Ailís Redshadow: Looks over at Levi and Rthuss

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): (is this a gully dwarf?)

Jericho added 9 SP on

Ailís Redshadow: Can I help you ... gentleman?

Naamah Orbarrow: GentleMEN

Naamah Orbarrow: They are two

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (what's the name of the place we were headed?

Jericho: [SKILL] Gaming [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 5]

Naamah Orbarrow: again with the counting

mharmon1 (Jericho): What are they playing?

Levi Reed: Just looking for a friend of mine, but wouldn't mind a game after making sure she's ok

Rothuss Carder: Oh, are you a gambler? I didn't know that.

Ailís Redshadow: Oh a she

mharmon1 (Jericho): (OHI"M SORRY)

Ailís Redshadow: Well I suppose that is to be expected

mharmon1 (Jericho): (It's just those two right now right?)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (My bad)

Ailís Redshadow: a fine young man like you

Ailís Redshadow: Have to expect you to have a girl

Naamah Orbarrow: Again with the counting

mharmon1 (Jericho): BRB, taking5 min

Levi Reed: Oh, not really a gambler per se, but I like a game once in awhile

Naamah Orbarrow: Look at him, he could have two three five

User has gone AFK. (mharmon1)

Levi Reed: But nah, the ladies aren't my type. She's just a friend, trying to watch out for her safety

Shislif (MeLange): also taking like 10 mins

Rothuss Carder: I'll admit, I'm not entirely sure...

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Rothuss Carder: looks over at Levi.

Rothuss Carder: IS she your girl?

Levi Reed: Heard she was out with some DeOrange fellow who might be up to no good

Ailís Redshadow: So you are more into men

Ailís Redshadow: that is disapointing

Rothuss Carder: Ah, say no more! I retract the question!

Ailís Redshadow: are you sure I cannot change you?

Levi Reed: Pretty sure but you never know until you try, right?

Levi Reed: winks

Naamah Orbarrow: Nudges, so he is looking for Deorange, using this mysterious female friend

Naamah Orbarrow: I bet he has a hankering

Levi Reed: Why, is he good looking?

Ailís Redshadow: Too bad he is not in town

Levi Reed: Think I could get him?

Ailís Redshadow: I would be glad to make sure you two were togther

Naamah Orbarrow: SLAPS her arm

Naamah Orbarrow: Again counting!

Naamah Orbarrow: There are two of them!

Naamah Orbarrow: So that makes how many?

Ailís Redshadow: Three

Naamah Orbarrow: SLAPS

Naamah Orbarrow: FOUR

Rothuss Carder: casually strolls around in a small area, just taking a look at what's going on here, while they're absorbed talking to Levi.

Naamah Orbarrow: Deorange me you and him, points to Levi

Naamah Orbarrow: Learn to count

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I just feel like everything is always a dead end. I never know what to do.

GM: Rothus can make an observatoin check

seyfert (Vee Barlett): but you're trying! so Vee knows you care! and might charge a little less if she succeeds!

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): he could if he had it. he's not an overly observant fellow

GM: and Lemon, you all need to try and listen and see what you can gather for future things

Rothuss Carder: motions to himself where the girls can't see him, asking Levi if he wants Rothuss to step in or stay out.

GM: For example it would be out of character but the three places you are going to are teh three best BARS in the square across from the castle while Deorange took Vee to the second best INN on the square in front of the library

GM: So yes you are in the fourth part of the chase scenes in this story arc

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): That kind of detail is not ever going to thing I will be good at

GM: 1 - chase to Osterhold 2 - chase around Osterhold and parties 3 - Chase by ships to Mizzen 4 - chase on the island to track him down

Rothuss Carder converted 1 GP to 10 SP, 0 refunded

seyfert (Vee Barlett): but we may need to know these bars when we come back to Mizzen so it's still good to explore the place

GM: So at the end of these three story arcs you will have had a chance at multiple types of encounters, scenes, etc.

GM: and you found the church you like, a Bards College to train at, a library for future research, etc.

GM: It is all very good world building

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So it's not all pointless even though it feels pointless, is what you're saying

GM: and this is the 11th session overall

GM: Very few things are ever pointless

GM: But yes this in particular is definately NOT

Levi Reed: Well, I'm ready to head out Reginald, unless you want to stay for a game?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): (to Rothuss, can't remember his fake name he's been using)

Rothuss Carder: One second, fellow, let me ask a quick question.

GM: and yes Rothuss and Levi can stay and gamble if you have that skill, just make a check

Ailís Redshadow: Yes?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I do not have it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol I like how Levi is just tossing out fake names for everything without realizing Vee had specific reasons/scenarios she does it

Shislif (MeLange): i mean i got a fighter over here

Rothuss Carder: leans forward and puts his hand flat down on the table between them.

Rothuss Carder: Ladies, I can help a bit with the counting, if you'd like. We're looking for DeOrange, just to make sure our friend is okay. For the counting, how's this?

Rothuss Carder: moves one finger aside on the table, then another, to reveal 2 silver coins flat on the table

Ailís Redshadow: If I see him I will be grateful for the coin

Ailís Redshadow: But who should I tell him is looking for him?

Rothuss Carder: Do you know where we'd be likely to find him?

Ailís Redshadow: and what do you think I should do to find you?

Rothuss Carder: No no, no introductions needed. If all is well, we won't bother him. We just want to check in for ourselves.

Ailís Redshadow: Oh I am certain when he comes he will come down with the Duke's son and spend his coin freely

Rothuss Carder: Where?

Naamah Orbarrow: HAH spreading his coin freely

Ailís Redshadow: Oh all around

Ailís Redshadow: The two squares here are always busy

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Levi and Lemon both equally are bad at subleties such as fake names

Rothuss Carder: No favorites? No bars or inns he goes to often?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): and details like inn vs bar

Ailís Redshadow: Deorange is generous everywhere he goes

Ailís Redshadow: I rarely see him without the Duke's son

Rothuss Carder: Well, that's too bad. I was hoping for something a bit more definite. I guess we'll be moving on then.

Rothuss Carder: picks up coins.

GM: and another point that Lemon is likely missing there is a Duke of Osterhold and a Duke of Mizzen

Shislif (MeLange): Lemon misses nothing

GM: and others also not picking on Lemon

Rothuss Carder: Does the Duke's son have any habits?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Lemon misses everything

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): You're thinking of Carissa

Shislif (MeLange): oh right :)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you picked up good things, too, it's in the summaries

Naamah Orbarrow: I particularly do like Valengar

Naamah Orbarrow: He has always been nice when he comes, makes sure to take care of his guards

mharmon1 (Jericho): back. sorry about that

Naamah Orbarrow: they do take up some space but overall it is a good thing

Levi Reed: Whereabouts could we find his guards?

Rothuss Carder: Valengar's the son? Nice. It's good to have a popular leader.

Naamah Orbarrow: I suppose up in the palace

Rothuss Carder: Alright, thank you, ladies.

Rothuss Carder: hands 1 coin to each.

Rothuss Carder: 1, ... and 2.

Naamah Orbarrow: Beams and watches to see if Ailis catches on

Ailís Redshadow: Thank you sir

Naamah Orbarrow: Rolls her eyes quietly

Ailís Redshadow: Are you going to stay?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I can NOT tell which spot is which coinage on the Spend Currency page. the background is so dark the words disappear

Ailís Redshadow: I can get you a table

Rothuss Carder: bows

Rothuss Carder: Thank you, but maybe later. We have business first.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): goldis top right, silver is right below it

GM: Sorry for that TMO it is the Theme we are using, next Era will be different and hopefully easier

Rothuss Carder spent 2 SP on

seyfert (Vee Barlett): left is PP, EP, then CP

GM: So the group all gathers back at teh square

GM: it is getting late

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): had to take off my glasses and squint at the screen from about 3 inches out. :D

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

GM: and the other problem to solve is ..... where are you sleeping tonight

seyfert (Vee Barlett): something something old person joke

GM: and for Carissa

GM: Vee goes up to the second floor and realizes Ruffus did not tell her which room. She starts to turn around and a small key falls out from the wire around the bottle of rum. She (rolls Dex and fails) and does not manage to catch it before it hits the ground. She shakes her head and picks it up. Looking at the key in her hand and at the doors in the hallway she considers and then chooses the second from the end doorway. The key works and the door opens. Vee sets the rum down on the dressing table and quickly scans the room for anyone else. She checks the window and unlocks it for a quick escape. After only a few moments Ruffus walks into the room, pulls a second bottle of rum from his bag and sets it next to the other one. He smiles at Vee and moves over to wrap his fingers around her….. {imagination with Vee rolling a 1 for her Dex check in rope use and other activities} When Vee is calmer and breathing closer to normal, she slips out of the ropes and slides the blindfold off she sees the windows wide open and one bottle of rum on the dressing table.

Levi Reed: Well, let's head to an inn and see if we find some nice rooms for the night

seyfert (Vee Barlett): damnit so that AWESOME was equal to an OK??

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hmm...

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I've read horror stories like that

seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh duh

mharmon1 (Jericho): Okay, so caught up. So he played us like fiddles?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (let's first see if that handkerchief is still potent? she can try to "play around" and get it near his face? put your own imagination in there)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and/or tie him after that.... so going to guess...

GM: Also by the way I now have 170 different combinations of dice skins I can use

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

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 16]

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 6]

GM: The windows are open, he is not in the room

seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh well that's easier, probably.... grab the other bottle, quick check if the cap is loose, grab her clothes, and do that rope roll down? :P

seyfert (Vee Barlett): IF it's the right rum

seyfert (Vee Barlett): she's not leaving unless it's the right one

GM: What do you want to do to check that?

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

seyfert (Vee Barlett): damn it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ....shake it? lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): He tied you up and left you. That's literally horror stories

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 10]

GM: Yes there is something inside the bottle

mharmon1 (Jericho): Yeah, if it had been any worse, iwould have drawn the STOP card. i draw the line at the more drker shit

GM: No the bottle is not open

GM: Has not been opened

seyfert (Vee Barlett): but it is the second bottle? she may just have to take a chance here

GM: and who says he tied her up? she was tied up and she is the one with rope use and rolled a 1 on her check

mharmon1 (Jericho): She...tied herself up?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh so she rolled really bad then REALLY good got it

mharmon1 (Jericho): Honestly kind of onfused

seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh Vee, surprising even me

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean, yeah, seems like it would be difficult to tie yourself up, but what do I know

seyfert (Vee Barlett): but smarter to tie yourself up so you can make a knot you know you can ease out of easier

GM: See

mharmon1 (Jericho): So...not tyring to be confused, but what happened here?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): thinking ahead there

seyfert (Vee Barlett): they did the nakey dance with ropes

mharmon1 (Jericho): .........

mharmon1 (Jericho): okay

seyfert (Vee Barlett): the "fun ropes" as Matty's friend calls them

mharmon1 (Jericho): got it...kind of

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Ahem

mharmon1 (Jericho): as longas it was consensual

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): The fun ropes or the normal kind?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): so before Vee grabs that rum and runs, any other ideas from others?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Wait, how did you know I called them that?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): something IS inside

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Check the other bottle too?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): find some bleach?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): because that girl at the party told us

seyfert (Vee Barlett): bleach is for later, or her preference of a long deep swim in the sea

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): ooooh..... yea..... heh....

mharmon1 (Jericho): I want to know why he left exactly what you wanted there, but then left. He's not a moron. He didn't tell you what he wanted from you?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): is the second bottle there, too, Bob?

GM: No only one bottle

seyfert (Vee Barlett): does the inn have a pitcher?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you know, like how most hotels have glasses and ice chest and all that?

GM: Not in the room

seyfert (Vee Barlett): does she have her flask on her??? or a bucket? some kind of container???

GM: She has her flask

seyfert (Vee Barlett): water bladder??

mharmon1 (Jericho): I mean, don't waste the rum. It's really old and all that

GM: There is the guarderrobe

mharmon1 (Jericho): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): a wut

mharmon1 (Jericho): that's my word, you can't have it :D

GM: The seat that you put a chamber pot under

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ew

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): nooope

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Just take the rum

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oooooh, take the rummy and run

GM: Woo Wooo Wooo

GM: Go on

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ok ok hold on just trying to see if I can think of anything else

seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh hey she does have a waterskin in her items....

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean, check around the room, see if he left anything else interesting?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): could a flask and a waterskin hold rum?

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'm really sorry, but I need to leave in a few minutes. I'm packing up for drive back to Utah. Is there anythign I can do to help or contribute before I head out bob?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): pffft she's too rattled to do that, didn't you see her OBS roll?

mharmon1 (Jericho): I know this is bad timing. I apologize

GM: I think you are good Michael

GM: Vee will get out of this escape room soon enough

GM: I think you are good Michael

mharmon1 (Jericho): Cool beans :) I had a great evening everyone. It was good to see you all! :)

mharmon1 (Jericho): LOL

mharmon1 (Jericho): Escape room huh?

mharmon1 (Jericho): :D

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): You can contribute to my slush fund, if you don't mind

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): What-

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yeah okay I guess just taking the bottle and running

GM: Apparently it is

seyfert (Vee Barlett): night michael

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Night!

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Not only OOC but didn't mean to do that?

'mharmon1' disconnected

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Goodnight!

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): night Michael!

GM: no worries JTom

seyfert (Vee Barlett): just happens when text is dragged

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, it happens. Clicking and dragging or something, idk, I've done it too

Vee Barlett: am I rerolling rope use for her window escape?

GM: Yes if you are trying that

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Rope Use [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 15]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Sea Legs [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 1]

GM: [d100 = 86]

Vee Barlett: grabbing her stuff, the bottle and with sheet wrapped around trying to escape out the window

GM: Vee makes it down the rope into the alleyway

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Might have to go as well. My son had a rough time at a haunted house and it looks like I might need to help talk him down from that.

GM: and dodges the guard that is supposed to be looking around but look the wrong way

GM: How is the family feeling Ryan?

GM: Everyone mostly healed?

Levi Reed: Haunted houses are the worst

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ooc

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oh, I was the only one who was injured. I have full mobility again, just a bit stiff

GM: Glad for that

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Yeah, he went with a group but had to back out because he started freaking out

seyfert (Vee Barlett): poor thing

GM: Sorry for that

GM: See you next week

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): No worries. Sorry to leave. Good to see you all again

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Bye all

GM: the sailing back to Osterhold

'Dru5232321' disconnected

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Bye

GM: So Vee is on the streets

GM: the rest of the group is on the streets looking for an Inn to stay at

seyfert (Vee Barlett): who sees who first?

GM: Lirt can make a percentage roll

GM: Under 40 she spots vee

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you can do it!

Lirtimya: [d100 = 46]

GM: SO close

GM: Levi you want to make a check?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Levi has alertness...?

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 5]

GM: So Levi can spot her on a 60 or less

Levi Reed: [d100 = 11]

seyfert (Vee Barlett): nice

GM: Across the square you spot each other

Levi Reed: What's up buttercup?

Levi Reed: We've been looking for you

Vee Barlett: scrowls and shoves the rum at him

Vee Barlett: Shut up and don't drop this.

Vee Barlett: turns around and puts her clothes back on

Lirtimya: Sighs and waves at Vee

Vee Barlett: See if one of you can make sure it's the right one.

Levi Reed: giggles just a tiny bit

Vee Barlett: Or I have a fish to filet.

Levi Reed: Lirt? You got some holy spell or something?

Levi Reed: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 9]

Lirtimya: Holy spell? No

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I don't even have detect magic learned right now

seyfert (Vee Barlett): detect magic or anything like that by chance? or we'll just have to... shake it again or something, maybe

seyfert (Vee Barlett): darn

seyfert (Vee Barlett): we need those empty bottles from the hobo to pour the rum out, lol

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Well I have it, but not memorized

Levi Reed: No way to check if it's a holy item in there or anything?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Maybe you just know from being in the church?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sadly our brewing magic detecting priest is gone now

seyfert (Vee Barlett): but someone might have some good rolls here?

GM: Lirt is not from the church that would be Jericho or Ava

Rothuss Carder: Is alcohol holy?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): we could wait until morning with Lirt memorizing that spell and hope for the best

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I have a 16 in observation and intelegence, if I can see the thing inside I may be able to tell?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oh, my bad

seyfert (Vee Barlett): roll and find out!

Levi Reed: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 9) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 6]

GM: Make what ever checks you think might help

Lirtimya: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 11]

GM: just remember you are doing this on the town square

Lirtimya: We may want to go somewhere more private

Vee Barlett: ....pulls them over into the shadows first away from the alley, guard, and people

Rothuss Carder: puts his hand on Lirt's elbow and guides her to a more secluded area

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I have a 13 in fishing I could fish it lol

Levi Reed: Maybe we should get a room somewhere. Were teh rooms here, nice, violet?

Vee Barlett: Fuck you.

Levi Reed: Hey, if he was into me, I would have done it for you

MeLange: [SKILL] Animal Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 3]

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): okay, I've done intellignece, I'll try observation

Vee Barlett: Find another place. You want to be found? If you didn't figure it out, he doesn't know I left. Yet.

Levi Reed: Alright, pick a direction and we'll go to whatever inn you want

Levi Reed: My treat

Vee Barlett: No. I'm not making anymore decisions tonight. You lead. I need to clear my head.

Lirtimya: Or if we want somewhere quiet we could go back to the library

Lirtimya: mutters that out

Vee Barlett: Library sounds good.

Levi Reed: Oh, Lirt, that's genius!

Levi Reed: Yes, let's do that

Vee Barlett: This is why she got promoted.

The time is 11:00 PM

Rothuss Carder: We might need to purchase a membership if we go back too often.

Lirtimya: I'm fine with that

Vee Barlett: That's a tomorrow problem.

GM: You did leave so yes you have to purchase again

GM: Pay for another day

Levi Reed: Yeah, that's honestly not a bad idea, at least for Lirt here. Bet she could get some use out of them books

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, that's fine, Levi's buying

GM: grins

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): How many do we have now?

GM: So you go in

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Do some math tmo

GM: You introduce Vee to the gorilla

GM: Who is sleeping peacefully

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): That gorilla sleeps a lot

GM: and then you get a chance to be quiet in private and discuss what to do with what you know

GM: brb restroom

Vee Barlett: sighs and slides down into a chair

Vee Barlett: Give me good news, Matey. Is it the right bottle?

Lirtimya: Goes to the sea section and grabs a book at random, then comes back to the rest and sits next to Vee

Vee Barlett: So you trashed his bags.

Levi Reed: Well, we weren't trying to

Vee Barlett: What'd you do with his stuff?

Levi Reed: But when we reached in, something was stabby stabby

Levi Reed: So we had to slash them

Vee Barlett: closes eyes for a minute for composure

Vee Barlett: That's why you use a dagger to catch the needle.

Vee Barlett: Don't matter. He knew either way so no reason to hdie it.

Levi Reed: Look, I don't ever claim to be the smart one here

Levi Reed: And uh... MeL and Matty are... you know... kind of like me

Lirtimya: Unfortunatly I was preoccupied at the time

Vee Barlett: nods

Vee Barlett: That explains some of it.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): What DID we do with his stuff? I don't remember

Vee Barlett: But to shred it? A little... extra, yeah?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (you have it)

Levi Reed: But I got the stuff here!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): well you and/or Rothuss

Levi Reed: hands it over

Vee Barlett: plucks up the bottles of rum and nods to drop the rest on the floor

Levi Reed: Haven't really looked at much other than the rum

Levi Reed: dumps the rest out to see what good stuff we stole

Vee Barlett: These are interest. Get that messenger you sent me to give the rest back to him. Ain't reason to keep it.

Lirtimya: Opens the book and begins reading, still listening, but book

Levi Reed: Ughhh, fiiiine

Levi Reed: packs everything up again

Vee Barlett: The problem bein' he ain't an idiot. And he's got connections. I know y'all knew to this, but can't full be on his bad side. Gotta humor him.

Levi Reed: but checking while repacking in case there's anything else interesting

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *new

Rothuss Carder: So what do we do now?

Vee Barlett: Besides, I ain't ruling out his usefulness down the road. And I'm sure he's doin' the same.

Levi Reed: Make sure this is the thing we need and get it back to teh cathedral so Jericho doesn't die

Vee Barlett: Not yet.

Vee Barlett: Kids nice and all, but worth seducing a scallywag for? Nah.

Vee Barlett: But that stamp... I know a good buyer if it can be duplicated.

Vee Barlett: Unless any of you.... well, unless Lirt knows a good way.

Levi Reed: I mean... I would assume there would be a lot of good buyers

Vee Barlett: nods slowly

Levi Reed: Considering it's supposed to bring endless wealth

Vee Barlett: Come on, Levi. You can guess my buyer, yeah?

Levi Reed: Yeah, your new beau

Levi Reed: Or your Pa

Vee Barlett: If I wasn't sore, I'd give you a black eye to match Matty.

Levi Reed: Or any number of people

Vee Barlett: nods

Vee Barlett: and grins

Lirtimya: I'm a cartogtapher Vee, not an artist unfortunatly, I wouldn't be able to duplicate the stamp

Levi Reed: He's not going to give you the ship you want until he's dead, Vee

Vee Barlett: I'd rather find a way to duplicate it myself so I can get a bigger cut, but if I can't then I bet Pa or Dad have a way.

Levi Reed: Wait, is that all it is? I figured it had some magic stuck to it

Rothuss Carder: It'd probably take a pro to duplicate it. They don't make them easy to copy.

Vee Barlett: Hmm, maybe once we take it out we cna see, Lirt. I have faith in your abilities. But, truth be told, ain't sure how to so... might be misplaced faith.

Vee Barlett: Yeah.... once my head is clear, maybe I can think of someone in the morning. Otherwise, just gonna have to settle for a smaller cut from my dads.

Vee Barlett: But I ain't returning this to Jericho and his church until I get SOME profit outta it.

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

Lirtimya: I could give it a try, but I doubt it would work

Levi Reed: Hey, I'm an artist, don't forget!

GM: I will give Rothuss a wisdom check also

Vee Barlett: 'Ppreciate it, Lirt. We'll see what we can do once we find out if that stamp is in here.

Vee Barlett: Only good thing for Jericho is his big mouth made the item to hot or else they might wanna just keep it themselves.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (TMOOOOOOO)

Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 9) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 3]

GM: Also because Lirt went up in level she has another spell slot to use each day so can memorize Detect Magic

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (sorry, also chatting on FB with new nephew)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): oooh as in she can cast it now?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Babies can use facebook?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I will memorize a detect magic then!

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I don't think I can now though

-> Rothuss Carder: If the church knows this is missing they will be asking questions when you return it so perhaps being careful about what happens between now and then.......

GM: No to Carissa still needs to memorize in the morning etc

Rothuss Carder: So.. who exactly asked you to recover these again?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sad

GM: But instead of two spells can do three spells now

Vee Barlett: Priestess at Sunset Temple. That's a tomorrow tomorrow problem.

Vee Barlett: Or a priest problem.

Vee Barlett: She asked ALL of us, Rothuss. You ain't getting outta trouble easy here, either.

GM: So walking it through OOC

GM: Temple of the Orange Sunsets (your local temple, Ava, Jericho, etc) had the two bottles stolen

Rothuss Carder: Well, if only this priestess knows these are missing, showing them to any other priest might cause some awkward questions.

GM: Gave you a secret mission to retrieve them because a tax stamp was hidden inside

Rothuss Carder: Just saying.

GM: Then you blurted out about the secret mission to many people

Vee Barlett: rollls eyes

Vee Barlett: Jericho is the one who told the cathedral. He's the one with the death sentence. You miss that?

GM: including the priests at the Cathedral at Osterhold

GM: Who then put a Geas on Jericho to bring the tax stamp to them

GM: So you have three sealed bottles of rum

GM: One with something rattling inside

GM: two that are 5 years old

GM: You have not been able to determine the age of your third bottle with something in it

GM: But you are going with the idea that because Deorange had access to it that it must be what you are looking for

GM: Deorange never said he had them

GM: Vee never saw them in his possession

GM: thank you blindfolds

seyfert (Vee Barlett): SIGH

seyfert (Vee Barlett): look Vee already took one for the team, if it ISN'T the right rum, then someone else can make a plan because I'm out

GM: chuckles that is not what I was saying

seyfert (Vee Barlett): no no I know, but I'm warning the group that

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Honestly if this isn't it, I'm ready to just reroll and start a whole new campaign again

GM: I was saying that Deorange has many many plausible deniability optoins

GM: and Vee has some too

GM: With how everything stands right now

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yes and in the end, the only reason to care is because Jericho could die, but at this point, that's on him

seyfert (Vee Barlett): if someone can figure out the age of the rum (Rothuss did earlier?) and/or we pour it out to see what is inside

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Man, Vee just gets meaner and meaner

seyfert (Vee Barlett): no carissa is

seyfert (Vee Barlett): carissa is still tired and frustrated and feeling compassion fatigue

GM: Would need to have Distilling, or know how to read the marks on the bottles to tell both year and place of distilling

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Rothuss was able to figure out the bottle from the bags so he should somehow do that here, too

GM: Also yes to Lirt being able to cast detect magic in the morning and verify that this is the bottle also

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): turns bottle upside down :Made in Kentucky, 1936"

seyfert (Vee Barlett): or anyone with any skill ideas

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I did artistic ability, wisdom, intellect. Not sure I have anything else useful?

GM: Those are all good Lemon

seyfert (Vee Barlett): we have three other people who can also toss out ideas, too

GM: That is why I laid out all the details OOC for everyone

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

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you figured out the bottles before

GM: And yes Rothuss can tell that this third bottle is from the Temple of the Orange Sunsets

GM: So the age and distillery means you have a 99% certainty

GM: just missing the detect magic for 100%

seyfert (Vee Barlett): which we can thankfully do in the morning now

seyfert (Vee Barlett): since we have a mage who can cast that

GM: and yes the bottle is fully sealed

seyfert (Vee Barlett): eh they could have done a good job resealing it

GM: and I leave that part of the puzzle to the group

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and really, they should have resealed it or it'd go bad sooner right? I don't know, I don't drnik

GM: a distilling check can help with that

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): we lost our distiller

GM: One or both will be back next week

GM: You do need to do some minimal planning on how to get back and where to go

seyfert (Vee Barlett): did the flame leaves us? they have our barrels of rum and crates of silver....

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): to the boat; sail the boat; collect reward?

GM: again it will be the morning of the 11th next session, and you have to be in Osterhold Cathdral on or before the 28th

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I was figuring go back to the boat, sail to Osterhold

GM: The Flame is still there, Matty had them wait for you

seyfert (Vee Barlett): once vee gets what she wants, then it's up to the death mark priest how he wants to handle it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yay comatose matty!

GM: Who do you return what to where?

GM: Temple of Orange Sunsets gave you the mission to return it to them

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Vee's only plan is sail back to Osterhold, and if she can't figure out how to duplicate the stamp herself, ask her dads for help.

GM: Cathedral of Osterhold put a geas on Jericho

seyfert (Vee Barlett): It's up to the priest how they want to handle their church.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): only a day travel between Osterhold and Achild, right?

Levi Reed: Yeah, I feel like get it back to the cathedral to get rid of the geas, and then let the priests decide what they want to/can do with it

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ooc

GM: I will clarify one thing for everyone that I think you are missing. It is a magical tax stamp, so it is a magical item, so to duplicate that you will

GM: do what?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Or we go to Sunset, tell them about the death mark, and let them decide if they'll let him die and/or talk about how to break it.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ask for help, duh

GM: That is the conversation to have

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Cast a Wish spell

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I don't know magic stuff.

GM: LOL

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol

GM: So creating magic items is in Chapter Two on the site

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Find someone in town? I bet the librarian knows some people who know some stuff

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oh

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): hands Lirtimya a scroll with Wish on it, that's been in his family for generations and generations

GM: Lirt can guess it takes weeks to months and thousands of gold to do that

seyfert (Vee Barlett): better to do that in Osterhold

seyfert (Vee Barlett): we don't want to hang around Mizzen right now

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and we know just the person who wastes thousands of gold on candlesticks!

GM: Also because it is a priestly magic item needs a priest to create it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): the timeline could be the problem, but she's still willing to try

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Where do the dads live? Osterhold?

GM: Yes

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ok so yeah, get back to the dads and discuss it there, so we're close enough to get to the cathedral to remove the geas

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But if we manage to keep it after removing the geas, then we might think about copying it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): the only potential hitch is if they'll care about a hot item and death sentence priest or if it's enticing enough they do not

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): we did only need one of these, right? weren't there two bottles?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): The dads?

GM: Lots of fun conversations to have on the way there

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Well that's Jericho's problem.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): He might have to seduce both dads

seyfert (Vee Barlett): only one bottle has a stamp

seyfert (Vee Barlett): exactly

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Since he's not a prude

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): ah, so we have the only one we *really* care about

GM: and one of the two stolen bottles is still out there

Vee Barlett: It's not in character for Vee to have gone throuhg all that because she's a good person. She needs to profit somehow. So she's holding on to it and taking it home. Any problems after that are for priest to figure out.

GM: very valuable bottles

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yes but the priestess said she didn't care if we got both bottles of rum, they just really want the stamp back

GM: exactly

seyfert (Vee Barlett): which is why Vee isn't sweating over missing the other bottle

seyfert (Vee Barlett): let the creep keep it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and see how good he is at pirating without a pirate :P

User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)

GM: So next week we pick up in the morning on the Flame

GM: Lirt and the other spell casters do their spells

GM: and then you sail away

seyfert: (insert song here)

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): when do we get aliens?

GM: smile

GM: On the 11th

MeLange: cool cool

Shislif (MeLange): ooc

GM: Have a great weekend everyone

GM: Post on the site

seyfert: great way to celebrate veterans day

GM: get in practice for November

MeLange: take care great weekend everyone :)
