Chat Log List - 2023 11 03 - Rum Runner - Formatted - Story
Rothuss Carder: sits on top of a pylon, kicking his feet back and forth and waiting for everyone.
Jericho: Rothuss, we still need to offload that silver. Do you think we could hold off long enough to get it sold? I mean, I don't have all the time in the world, but it could really help the gang with money
Jericho: Get everyone setup for a breather after we get the stamp to the Cathedral
Rothuss Carder: turns and looks at it, then shrugs.
Rothuss Carder: I suppose. Who's going to sell it, and to whom?
Jericho: Well, I don't have any sort of appraising ability. I figured you or Vee would be good at that
Jericho: I just didn't want us to forget
Jericho: I'm happy to look for an appraiser if you want
Jericho: While we wait for Vee
Rothuss Carder: Sorry! Large crates of silver are way outside my competence.
Jericho: Laughs
Rothuss Carder: I mean, I can ask someone, but odds are we'd get scammed.
Jericho: Really? I thought you were kinda....just good at everything
Rothuss Carder: grins broadly and jumps down to the pier.
Jericho: Hm. I have no charm, and no ability to bargain for silver
Rothuss Carder: Don't let the Myth of Me blind you to the Truth, man!
Jericho: Should we just...ask for a reputable merchant?
Jericho: Chuckles
Rothuss Carder: Sure, why not? Let me go ask around a bit, see if anyone comes recommended.
Jericho: Can I join you?
Jericho: Not like I'm doing anything else
Rothuss Carder: Of course!
Jericho: Brightens
Rothuss Carder: heads towards the nearest merchant/captain looking person he can find. Anyone other that grunt workers.
Jericho: Walks with him
Jericho: Looks for anyone who looks reputable
Jericho: I don't suppose you know salvage law? I mean, any upstanding merchant may not purchase this if they thought we stole it. Should we look for someone a little less ancy?
Jericho: Gods, I hate having to figure everything out, but it can't hurt to at least look
Rothuss Carder: Excuse me! Sorry, new here, I have some precious metal to try and offload. Who is a reputable dealer around here I can talk to?
Senick Honorhorn: WOW
Senick Honorhorn: Seriously?
Jericho: Uh
Jericho: Yes?
Rothuss Carder: Yyyesss?
Senick Honorhorn: You just want to hand over your goods to me and trust that I will give you fair value?
Levi Reed: No!
Levi Reed: That is NOT what he said
Rothuss Carder: Absolutely not! I asked for a recommendation.
Senick Honorhorn: My recommendation is that I am the best person to sell to anywhere in the Island Kingdoms
Jericho: Although if we establish you offer a fair price, we'd be willing to consider you
Senick Honorhorn: Do you believe that?
Jericho: Snorts
Levi Reed: Ok, then who is the second best
Jericho: We kinda walked into that one
Rothuss Carder: Thank you for your time! I may return if other people confirm your status. If you are as notable as you claim, I'm sure I'll be back.
Senick Honorhorn: Laughs
Senick Honorhorn: Thank you
Jericho: Wait!
Senick Honorhorn: Now seriously what in the heck are you trying to do?
Jericho: I'll make you a deal
Rothuss Carder: starts counting off on his fingers
Rothuss Carder: One - find a reputable precious metal dealer. Two - sell them some precious metals.
Jericho: Tell us a price, and if the price is close to what the next merchant offers, we'll give you a 10 percent commission
Jericho: for speaking to us first of course
Jericho: and we'll sell it to you
Senick Honorhorn: What do you have to sell?
Rothuss Carder: Perhaps I'm not being clear, sorry. I'll try to speak up.
Rothuss Carder: Precious Metal
Jericho: Silver
Senick Honorhorn: So platinum?
Senick Honorhorn: Or copper?
Senick Honorhorn: or ?
Senick Honorhorn: Hell I have heard of people thinking Coconuts were valuable or even Pearls
Rothuss Carder: You mean your merchants specialize in what kind of metal they deal in??
Senick Honorhorn: Who would think Pearls are worth anything
Rothuss Carder: Walthen the Copper dealer; Byrun the Gold dealer, and so on?
Senick Honorhorn: It depends on what you are looking to offload
Rothuss Carder: Who deals in Electrum?
Jericho: Good question actually?
Senick Honorhorn: Electrum what?
Senick Honorhorn: Coins? I have a guy
Jericho: Laughs
Jericho: Everyone seems to have a guy
Senick Honorhorn: Electrum makes good candle holders too,
Levi Reed: Fancy tablewear
Rothuss Carder: throws up his hands dramatically.
Senick Honorhorn: I have a guy
Jericho: We have Silver tableware
Senick Honorhorn: AHHH
Senick Honorhorn: Silverware
Levi Reed: Table... wear? Is that the right word?
Rothuss Carder: Silver. Of some sort. I have no idea what kind.
Levi Reed: What a stupid idea
Senick Honorhorn: Do you have a table setting you want to move
Jericho: move as in sell?
Senick Honorhorn: Sell trade buy it is all just moving things from one to another
Jericho: Nods
Jericho: That does make sense
Levi Reed: He's a preist, not used to this kind of thing
Jericho: I have an inventory of goods
Jericho: Presents paper
Senick Honorhorn: Yeah I bet he uses wood spoons all the time
Levi Reed: He's got a wooden spoon somewhere, that's for sure
Senick Honorhorn: Looks over the list, I will need to verify of course before making an offer
Levi Reed: Anyway, yes. We're trying to move a silver table setting before we ship out
Senick Honorhorn: But this could get you at least 500 gold
Rothuss Carder: Definie verify for me, if you would
Senick Honorhorn: If this is actually the mark on there
Levi Reed: We won't take less than 800
Jericho: I have the official authenticity papers as well
Senick Honorhorn: Laughs
Senick Honorhorn: Good Luck then
Senick Honorhorn: I need a cut too
Jericho: Remember we are giving 10 percent for speaking to us first, (to Levi)
Senick Honorhorn: and I cannot find someone willing to pay more than 400 for twelve settings of this
Senick Honorhorn: You do have 12 settings right?
Jericho: Nods
Rothuss Carder: shrugs.
Jericho: What's on the paper, was in the shipping crate
Jericho: I took inventory myself
Jericho: Wait, I am sorry
Jericho: 12?
Jericho: No, my inventory said 8
Jericho: I apologize if there is a twelve on that amount
Senick Honorhorn: Ahhh well that does matter
Jericho: Nods
Jericho: Makes sense
Jericho: How well does that matter
Matthias Crowtooth: 12 is a different number than 8, yeah
Senick Honorhorn: afterall 6 is a normal dinner 12 is a formal dinner
Jericho: Hm
Rothuss Carder: so Normal with friends?
Senick Honorhorn: so you are saying you have a Normal Dinner setting plus 2
Jericho: Split the difference?
Senick Honorhorn: I can work with that
Senick Honorhorn: So not 800 gold
Senick Honorhorn: But I can get you a decent deal
Jericho: Remember your 10 percent for being honest with us. We'll definitely keep you in mind for future dealings
Senick Honorhorn: with my markup ... hmmmm let us say 400 gold for the set of 8
Senick Honorhorn: They are all complete correct?
Levi Reed: Yes
Levi Reed: Plus some fancy candlesticks
Rothuss Carder: I don't think we're missing any dessert pudding spoons.
Jericho: Sighs
Senick Honorhorn: Well those are different I would not lump them in
Senick Honorhorn: You should sell those separately
Rothuss Carder: Noted, thanks.
Senick Honorhorn: How many candlestikcs?
Rothuss Carder: looks over his shoulder to read the inventory.
Senick Honorhorn: Ponders how many dinners this will pay for
Senick Honorhorn: These look decent
Senick Honorhorn: More a mantle piece type of thing than dinner setting
Senick Honorhorn: Or altar piece? Looking at the group
Levi Reed: Nah, these are the centerpiece!
Levi Reed: For holidays and stuff
Senick Honorhorn: chuckles a center piece set would be lower with four arms not the three that these have
Senick Honorhorn: You cannot fool me, I was not born yesterday
Levi Reed: So how much do you think for the sticks?
Senick Honorhorn: So overall we are looking at 8 sets of silverware, and two candlestikcs
Senick Honorhorn: I will say.... 1,000 gold for the entire set
Jericho: Does that include your 10 percent commission?
Senick Honorhorn: I pay you the 1,000 and our deal is complete
Jericho: And do you have any contact information for future trading?
Levi Reed: That seems like a fair deal
Senick Honorhorn: If you ask for Senick no one will admit they know me
Jericho: Ah
Jericho: Uh
Jericho: A different name then?
Jericho: We don't judge
Jericho: We know Vee
Senick Honorhorn: I can get the money to you by nightfall
BOB You never got a place to sleep you were in the library and then headed to the ship
The time is 4:00 AM
The date is Pen____de, 6th Kye (Late Winter), 586 SGR
Young Moon's phase is Full Moon
Old Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous
Jericho: Explains story to Vee
Jericho: So that's where we are
Jericho: Hope you aren' tmad, we just didn't want to leave without trying to get this sold
Jericho: Like
Jericho: Away from Osterhold
Jericho: Where it might be...you know...shadier?
Jericho: Do you know a Senick?
Jericho: By any chance?
Captain Ciannait Flame: AAND WE WILL ALL GO DOWN TOGETHER<< YES WE WILL ALL DO DOWN TOGETHER!!!!!
BOB Singing maybe? on the docks
Jericho: Should we wait for him Vee?
Vee Barlett: Senick? Nah, but guess we can find out if i need to know him.
Levi Reed: He said nightfall. Let's either go rest somewhere, or at least get some food and check out the marketplace while we're waiting
Vee Barlett: Don't hurt. We have time. The silver was useless to hold on to, so if we can get something from it, it's fine. And he thinks it's salvaged, not stolen, so if he cheats us, we got an out.
Jericho: I vote the ship
Jericho: We can cast off in a hurry if need be and keep an eye on the goods
Vee Barlett: I'll always vote ship.
Matthias Crowtooth: Ships are superior to any other alternative.
Rothuss Carder: sighs deeply.
Rothuss Carder: Sure, why not?
Jericho: ......for water? It's kind of the only way right?
Gideana nods in agreement with Vee
Levi Reed: You really want to hang around the ship ALL DAY with the drunk hobo and the creepy shack and the probably drunk captain?
Matthias Crowtooth: That's the spirit, Jericho
Jericho: I mean, unless you want to ride dolphins
Lirtimya: Ships are usually the better option
Matthias Crowtooth: Reminds me of home, Levi.
Vee Barlett: And I sent off the Ruffus's stuff back to the college with a lovely rope tied off so we ain't gotta worry about that, neither.
Captain Ciannait Flame: We came in spastic Like tameless horses We left in plastic As numbered corpses And we learned fast To travel light Our arms were heavy But our bellies were tight
Levi Reed: Ok, well, if Lirt says ship, I'm going ship
Levi Reed: She's been right too many times
Captain Ciannait Flame: And it was dark So dark at night And we held onto each other Like brother to brother We promised our mothers we'd write And we would all go down together We said we'd all go down together Yes we would all go down together
Vee Barlett: Now y'all see why she's been promoted!
Lirtimya: Smiles
Rothuss Carder: I mean, we're going to be trapped on that thing for the next 2 days already. And you want to spend a *third* day cooped up on it?
Jericho: So about the Stamp. I admit I've done this all wrong. The geas said to return it to the Cathedral, but it seems like we've been played as pieces in someone elses puzzle
Jericho: Do you think the Geas will end if we turn to the cathedral, but then take it somewhere else?
Gideana looks at Jericho for more explanation.
Jericho: I'd rather stay on good terms with my own temple, rather than the cathedral itself
Jericho: I don't live at the Cathedral
Jericho: I DO live at the Sunset
Rothuss Carder: Tell me exactly what they said.
Jericho: Thoughts?
Levi Reed: That's what I'm hoping for, honestly. We don't want to leave it there, unless we absolutely have to
Captain Ciannait Flame: HEY MY NAVIGATOR!!!! Looking at Lirt
Levi Reed: But anyway I don't want to wait at the ship all day. I feel like a sitting duck here. I want to go check out the marketplace, if anyone else is interested. Maybe we can see if the man was right about the price of the silver
Lirtimya: Looks at the captain
Lirtimya: Hm?
Vee Barlett: also looks at the more sober and clear-headed Lirt
Rothuss Carder: hops up onto a rail or post or crate or something high up he can sit on.
Captain Ciannait Flame: You got us out of that shoal
Captain Ciannait Flame: You were spot on!
Vee Barlett: Y'all go shopping if you want. I think I'm gonna go for a swim.
Rothuss Carder: Levi, I'm with you, as soon as I finish with Jericho's problem here.
Vee Barlett: nods in agreement with Rothuss
Jericho: Don't go too far. I'm constantly worrying after the other night
Vee Barlett: The other night?
Gideana looks at the Vee. Looks at Levi unsure of who to follow.
Lirtimya: Thank you Captain
Jericho: Ah, yes. When we went through three bars looking for you. We didn't think you would be in an inn.
Captain Ciannait Flame: Good Job
Levi Reed: I mean, maybe take a little nap first until daylight, but then yeah, I want to look around a little bit
Captain Ciannait Flame: I am off for the night, we sail at.... well we sail when we get everyone back on board I suppose
Vee Barlett: yells over, "Lirt's awesome!"
Captain Ciannait Flame: See you then
Vee Barlett: Y'all were looking for me? Why?
Matthias Crowtooth: sharpens knife
Lirtimya: See ya cap'n
Jericho: Maybe because we were trashing someone's belongings, and couldn't find you? We were lucky you got a message. Not that you couldn't take care of yourself of course, we just were worried
Jericho: Who knew DeOrange was a suave womanizer
Matthias Crowtooth: looks at Vee questioningly
Rothuss Carder: snorts quietly to himself.
Vee Barlett: Oh, huh. Guess that never cross my mind y'all would worry. Kinda sweet. But I was fine.
Vee Barlett: And yeah, definitely knew he was. Bit confusing, really, why he was an idiot to choose a night of, well... yeah, made it easy, really.
Vee Barlett: I mean, we'd been told he was a sweet talkin' scallywag. And I can confirm none of them rumors were false.
Jericho: Yeah...I have a feeling that we won't be seeing the last of him. Did he want anything besides....well.
Vee Barlett: laughs
Raimund Feilhaber: (very sober) hello there
Raimund Feilhaber: What are you folk doing here on the docks rather than in bed?
Vee Barlett: I'd hope not. I sent him back his stuff with a kiss mark on it. He could be useful later. I ain't gonna discount that so I'm gonna make sure he remembers me.
Vee Barlett: Whatcha doing sober, mate?
Raimund Feilhaber: Someone has to be
Jericho: We are just making sure no problems are arising. We'll make sure you can be the drunk one next time
Jericho: Smiles
Gideana furrows brow, worried that the Captain isn't sober.
Vee Barlett: We'll get ya a drink in Osterhold.
Raimund Feilhaber: Just be sure to hang around the docks if you want to get back to the big island
Michael (Jericho): Gosford Larmalart: Jericho must return to the Cathedral with the tax stamp by the end of the month
BOB So yes overall you are heading into the morning with no sleep but you do have the ship and a way to get back. You are waiting to sell your silver tableware and candlesticks later on this evening if you stay here that long. Beyond that everyone is very tired and is operating with zero sleep in the last 24+ hours
Levi Reed: Alright, look, if Raimund and Lirt are both saying stay here, I guess I'm going to stay
Levi Reed: But I'm feeling very whiny about it!
Vee Barlett: Why? Ya know you can still meet people at the docks?
Vee Barlett: If you want your own night of fun ropes, go talk to someone.
Rothuss Carder: Ooh.. fun ropes?
Rothuss Carder: Dish, girlfriend!
Vee Barlett: Which, Levi, speakin' of, I'm confused. Oh, Maybe Rothuss can help me here, too.
Vee Barlett: Why the HELL would someone give away expensive rum for a couple hours of fun ropes? I mean, fine, it was kinda fun, but damn. Rum is GOOD. What am I missin'??
Rothuss Carder: laughs
Vee Barlett: This deal just feels very... off.
Jericho: Uh...yes
Matthias Crowtooth: hides his smile
Jericho: That seems to be the word of the day
Jericho: did you open it and check?
Rothuss Carder: Well, maybe you were just that good. But...
Jericho: Hell, was the liquid inside even rum?
Jericho: Maybe he drank the rum and replaced with water
Jericho: That would be kinda funny
Rothuss Carder: Seal is sealed
Vee Barlett: It rattles. And it's old. Beyond that, I'm waitin' to check until I see Dad or Pa.
Jericho Sighs
Rothuss Carder: Vee, did he know who you really are?
Jericho: Please end this deal in a way that doesn't make me permanently dead?
Vee Barlett: Nah, it's sealed. Don't think he's smart enough to seal it. He's smarter than I thought , but ain't that smart.
Vee Barlett: He's got an idea, but don't think so, no.
Jericho: I know family is important, but I'd gut mine if I didn't hate violence so much
Vee Barlett: Still thinks I go by Violet.
Vee Barlett: rolls eyes
Rothuss Carder: Ah, well, I thought maybe he didn't want your family after him any more.
Jericho: Your name is Violet?
Jericho: Really?
Vee Barlett: No. My name is Vee.
Jericho: .....
Vee Barlett: And what that stands for ain't nobody's business.
Lirtimya: Chuckles
Jericho: I will make sure that stays that way
Jericho: I don't think I could actually stab someone
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Vee Barlett: Each to their own.
(note to self: suspected missing chat went here)
Lirtimya: Then I wouldn't have to go around making up laws, we could actually have someone who knows them
Lirtimya: Just say it with a straight face and a cool head and they'll believe it
Jericho: Snorts
Vee Barlett: You know what they say, Lirt. It's always a law somewhere!
Vee Barlett: Exactly, First Mate.
Jericho: Hey Vee
Jericho: Got a question for you
Vee Barlett: Yeah?
Jericho: This whole trip
Jericho: Is there a way
Jericho: To travel...without someone spying on you?
Jericho: I don't know of any spells, but how would you avoid that?
Jericho: How can you undergo a secret mission for your faith, without being constantly spied on?
Vee Barlett: Hmm, depends on how the spyin' be happenin'. You mean by magic? You mean you wanna disappear?
Rothuss Carder: Dang man, a little paranoid maybe?
Vee Barlett: Or you mean people askin' you questions?
Jericho: Uh, if by dissapear you gut me and thow me in the ocean, then no. By magic preferrably
Rothuss Carder: You really think they're magically spying on you? For real?
Rothuss Carder: looks around
Vee Barlett: laughs
Jericho: ...Not really Rothuss
Vee Barlett: You ain't done nuthin' to deserve that.
Jericho: I just like....privacy
Vee Barlett: But if you want an alias, then maybe I can help.
Jericho: Hm. I think the Alias might be good for anything where we are all working together and don't want to be associated with the church in all honesty
Jericho: It might make some missions easier
Vee Barlett: Truth be told, best way is out on the sea. But you gotta be more specific. Or figure out whatcha need more specifically.
Jericho: But I want to do some research into magics that block others gazes
Jericho: If you know what I mean
Jericho: I know it's paranoid
Vee Barlett: I always heard if ya think you're being spied on, you can tell if ya are, but only if you think hard about it.
Jericho: I just never really thought about it until the Geas was painted on my back.
Jericho: Really?
Jericho: Brightens
Jericho: Face turns red as he concentrates
Vee Barlett: Second thoughts 'bout the church?
Jericho: "Is anyone watching me?"
Levi Reed: If you wanted to be hard to find, it was probably a bad choice turning the forecastle pink
Jericho: Whipsers
BOB make a save versus magic
Jericho: [SAVE] vs. Spell [d20 = 13]
Save [13] [Target 15] -> [for Jericho] [FAILURE]
BOB Jericho is worried that someone is watching him, but he cannot tell
Lirtimya: I can make a wall of fog if you want to dissapear, can't do much against magic though
Vee Barlett: Sleep helps with concentratin'
Jericho: Yeah, the forecastle is now an oak color
Jericho: I even polished it just so I could get along more easier with the Captain
Jericho: Personally I think the color is a dark cherry and makes the ship come together quite nicely
Vee Barlett: I'll offer you this, kid, since you seem like you're trying: if ya wanna try to get out of their reach, or leave the church, I'll try to help ya. Go out sailin' for a bit, stage your death, whatever ya want. Don't wanna be a priest? We can find ya someone to train you in somethin' else.
Jericho: Stage your death? How old are you!?
Matthias Crowtooth: I think you could be a great womanizer
Vee Barlett: grins
Levi Reed: Her dads have connections
Vee Barlett: Not much older than you, but I don't think we had the same childhood.
Vee Barlett: winks
Jericho: What you didn't grow up with cruel murderers?
Jericho: Smugglers?
Vee Barlett: Hmm, Rothuss can teach ya to be a womanizer. I bet ya we could rope in DeOrange, too.
Vee Barlett: Ugh. Ropes. I need a drink, too.
Jericho: And no, I'm definitely a preist. But I want to find a way to not be....used?
Jericho: I guess?
Matthias Crowtooth: passes knife to Vee.
Vee Barlett: I grew up knowin' my way around ships and the freedom that allows.
Matthias Crowtooth: Here, this always makes me feel better.
Jericho: Shudders
Vee Barlett: grabs knife and looks at it, looks at Matty, contemplates, then pockets it.
Jericho: Yeah, I didn't. My family was in shipping, but I think that was a nice way of saying smuggling
Jericho: You should meet my brother sometime
Rothuss Carder: Womanizer? I think I resent that. That implies I'm just using and dropping the ladies.
Rothuss Carder: grins and winks.
Jericho: Hey you do you Rothuss
Jericho: I'm in no place to judge
Vee Barlett: Yeah, but I need you to help sail us back to Osterhold, Matty. But maybe I'll find someone there to stab. Or you...
Vee Barlett: Hmm, although you ain't done anything to deserve it. Yet. But I'm just waitin' for it.
Vee Barlett: smiles
Matthias Crowtooth: Threatening Levi and Lirt is fun and all, but I'd rather you keep it and use it to stay safe.
Vee Barlett: sighs
Levi Reed: We have learned that Jericho is very much NOT a prude
Vee Barlett: You help 'em try to find me, too, Matty?
Jericho: Sighs
Matthias Crowtooth: pretends to have not heard her, shoving his hands in his pockets and wandering off.
Jericho: I'm never going to live that down Levi
Jericho: Am I?
Vee Barlett: shakes head and smiles
Vee Barlett: You're a good one even if ya like to pretend otherwise!
Vee Barlett: Live what down?
Jericho: NOPE!
Jericho: That was a men only conversation!
Vee Barlett: laughs
Jericho: Don't you say a word Levi
Jericho: I swear to my god
Vee Barlett: I got a knife now if ya wanna threaten him.
Rothuss Carder: He has weird toes, and is embarrassed about them.
Jericho: Bright red
Jericho: That WAS NOT the topic of discussion
Jericho: I was only stating that I'm not into the Kinks
Vee Barlett: Ah, sorry, man. Puberty ain't nice to all of us. Maybe you'll grow into them feet in another year or two.
Jericho: I was only stating that I'm not into the Kinks
Vee Barlett: Oh. Nothin' wrong with that.
Jericho: See!
Jericho: That doesn't mean I'm a prude!
Jericho: Turns to Rothuss
Jericho: I mean...maybe a little? But I don't JUDGE!
Vee Barlett: I mean, limits who ya might want to seduce, but maybe ya don't wanna do that neither and that's fine.
The time is 9:00 AM
Rothuss Carder: wraps his arm around Jericho's shoulder and pats him.
Jericho: Turns to Vee with a skeptical gaze. "How many people do you think I could actually seduce?"
Jericho: I'm not Rothuss here
Rothuss Carder: Shh, it's okay man. You do you, what ever you are.
Levi Reed: He just got... you know... REALLY defensive about it
Levi Reed: It was kind of cute
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Vee Barlett: Ain't seen you try to know if you could or not.
Jericho: Ponders.....
Jericho: Yeah, I can't really see it either. Prudish? NO. Uptight...eh? Maybe a little?
Jericho: I'm working on it okay!
Jericho: But I'm not a prude
Jericho: Steams
Vee Barlett: laughs
Rothuss Carder: I'm sorry, man. I didn't mean to poke you in such a sensitive spot. Don't give it another thought, alright?
Jericho: I'm going to start drinking before we get back aren't I
Jericho: ....
Vee Barlett: Well we got that barrel to finish off if ya need a drink...
Jericho: Apology accepted. But the more we talk about it...the funnier it actually gets Rothuss....kind of weird
Vee Barlett: Aw, look at 'em makin' friends! So cute.
Rothuss Carder: Good! Laughing at it robs it of the hurt.
Jericho: What does it taste like when it actually goes down? I just taste and spit
Jericho: Does it hurt?
Vee Barlett: It's a good burn if ya got the good stuff.
Jericho: .....
Vee Barlett: But if ya ain't used to it, mix it with some coconut juice or somethin'
Jericho: Do we have any?
Rothuss Carder: There's four kinds of drinking. For thirst, for socializing, for snobbery, and for forgetting.
Levi Reed: ... are we talking about rum or?
Jericho: for snobbery? that's a thing? Isn't that just all ending in the same result?
Shislif: Is that like Leonard Cohen or something?
Rothuss Carder: You may know alcohol, but I know drinkers.
Jericho: I'll tell you what. If don't have any issues when we sail, I'll drink something
Jericho: After our selling the fine silverware anyways
Vee Barlett: I'll let Levi have the honors of drinkin' with you first.
Vee Barlett: winks
BOB Gideana can be explained by Melange
BOB They are the ones who were hanging out then Gideana went off with Rothuss
BOB and Temperance was here at the docks
BOB She was recruited to work on the ship from here to replace all those crew people you lost on the trip here
Vee Barlett: Hey! Newbie! You new crew or somethin'?
Jericho: You our new Navigator?
Gideana smiles at Vee
Gideana: Yes. I am new.
Vee Barlett: How long you been sailin'?
Vee Barlett: That girl there new with you?
Gideana: I would love to help navigate. I've been studying.
Gideana: I really like your necklace. Is that oyster?
Rothuss Carder: Quick! Which way is Port?
Vee Barlett: Ah, poor Matty. People keep vying for his job.
Levi Reed: Oh thank gods. We definitely need a second navigator so Lirt can get some sleep occasionally
Jericho: Yeah, too bad about the last guy. I mean getting eaten is pretty terrible
Lirtimya: I can finally sleep
Matthias Crowtooth: grumbles angrily, reflexively going for a knife
Vee Barlett: Matty ain't in a coma anymore. He can navigate. Ain't bad at it, really. Helped us dock in Osterhold, remember?
Levi Reed: "Throat displacement" is what I believe you called it
Jericho: Hey you did a good job Lirimya!
Jericho: Well Levi...I propose you add that to the medical terms book we have. I actually really like that way to describe it! It could be called the Levi Displacement
Lirtimya: Thank you
Jericho: "Throat Displacement"
Jericho: Damn. I really like that!
Gideana: Um. Yes, this is Temperance. I'm Gideana.
Levi Reed: No man, YOU called it that
Matthias Crowtooth: waves half-heartedly
Jericho: Huh
Gideana: I grew up in a small coastal town so I know my way around a ship, yes.
Jericho: Did the gore bother me that badly?
Gideana laughs at the Port question.
Jericho: Sorry Levi, I seem to have a way with putting words in other peoples mouths.
Vee Barlett: Yeah....
Levi Reed: I think you were just trying to like, make it sound nicer for someone
Jericho: Do me a favor. Slap me the next time I do it
Vee Barlett: I mean, if ya ain't used to it, it's understandable.
Temperance: offers a light bow in greeting.
Levi Reed: Maybe Rothuss' Adelaide lady
Gideana Points to the correct side of the ship..
Jericho: ....I'm not being Prude! I just am trying to break a bad habit
Vee Barlett: Hmm, but ya sail the seas, Gideana? I mean this ain't a hard bit of water, should be easy sailin' but just curious.
Jericho: So, totally odd question, but do either of you have an eye for valuables?
Gideana smiles softly at Vee.
Vee Barlett: Oh man, Levi. I can't wait to see you get him drunk.
Rothuss Carder: Yeah, we only saw a total of two shipwrecks on the way over here. Easy sailing
Jericho: Like say...appraisal capabilities as a hobby?
Gideana: I can hold my own.
Jericho: And I'll patch you up when you can't
Jericho: Smiles
Vee Barlett: I look forward to seein' you sail and findin' out if that's true.
Vee Barlett: Vee, by the way.
Gideana: nods at Vee and smiles.
Levi Reed: Alright, so let's get some sleep, yeah?
BOB Spell casters need 8 hours of uninterupted sleep quiet peaceful dark to regain their spells, everyone else wants 8 hours of sleep but if you do not get it you will have a minus to certain rolls
BOB It does say overnight
Jericho: Well welcome aboard you two! Any special abilities or skills?
Rothuss Carder: Any particular vows we need to be aware of?
Rothuss Carder: Well, I'm always available if you need any help breaking or going around them.
BOB So everyone breathes, naps, tries to be calm and get organized
The time is 2:00 PM
BOB The day passes on the docks
Captain Ciannait Flame: Just how long are we waiting here?
Captain Ciannait Flame: The tide waits for no man
Jericho: We apologize Captain. We were selling off the Salvage before leaving
Jericho: Is there a way to hold until the evening?
Rothuss Carder: is stretched out on deck, his hat covering up his face, napping.
Captain Ciannait Flame: I am supposed to be following along with Matthias and Vee for their mission
Levi Reed -> Jericho: We should offer the captain a share of the money. And... probably all the crew a little something, to be fair
Jericho -> Levi Reed: I'm down for that completely! Do you want to tell her?
Levi Reed -> Jericho: You're the great negotiator!
Jericho: Well Captain
Jericho: Actually
Gideana nestles in a corner, away from Rothuss.
Jericho: We actually wanted to thank you for putting up with us
Levi Reed: Hey, don't worry new girl, he's a purely consensual seductor
Captain Ciannait Flame: Good
Jericho: We thought that with the sale, we could help ease our passage with coin
Jericho: You've been good to us
Captain Ciannait Flame: I am glad you know you are a pain in the rear
Temperance: observes the exchange with a quizzical brow
Levi Reed: Hey!
Jericho: She means me I think Levi
Levi Reed: Lirt is very useful and not a pain at all!
Captain Ciannait Flame: No I mean you Priest with the stick up his butt
Jericho: But it means a lot that you bothered with us at all.
Jericho: Aha! I knew it!
Jericho: But still
Gideana nods in Levi's direction.
Jericho: We had hoped to give some of the proceeds to you and your crew as thanks
Levi Reed: Oh. Well, I assumed it was most of us. But Lirt and Vee hold their own out here
Jericho: Can the tide not wait?
Jericho: Just until evening?
Vee Barlett: yawns and listens, laying out on deck
Captain Ciannait Flame: The tide waits for no man
Jericho: Does it wait for Gold?
Captain Ciannait Flame: I wait for Vee or Matthias
Lirtimya: Tide waits for nothing
Captain Ciannait Flame: but gold helps too
MeLange: sits on the ship railing, staring into the horizon, shirtless
Levi Reed: I'll row extra hard to catch us up
Levi Reed: flexes
Jericho: Vee?
Vee Barlett: It'll be worth it, Cap'n, if they did it right.
Vee Barlett: And y'all can finish off that barrel of rum, too. A boon for the crew while we wait. Or while we sail. Depends how bad they sail sober.
Matthias Crowtooth: side-eyes MeLange in confusion
Jericho: I'll wait till we cast off, but I am looking forward to a premature celebratory drink
Captain Ciannait Flame: I can tell anyone what to do sober or not
Vee Barlett: grins
Levi Reed: Finally, Jericho!
Jericho: Rolls eyes
Vee Barlett: Ain't doubtin' that m'am. But I ain't sure Raimund likes bein' sober.
Jericho: I really hope being drunk doesn't involve me being thrown off the ship
Levi Reed: Does anyone?
Captain Ciannait Flame: He runs a tight ship
Vee Barlett: We'll get our rest, go with the evenin' tide, and sail through the night. Lirt and Matty are itchin' to do some night shifts, especially Matty.
Lirtimya: I think I'll stay sober, if I'll be doing any navigation that is
Levi Reed: I love a good night shift, depending on the company.
Captain Ciannait Flame: Good to know who to grab in the middle of the night
Levi Reed: winks at Jericho
Jericho: I thought that was Rothuss?
Jericho: eyes Levi
Vee Barlett: And maybe your new crew can show us what they got.
Rothuss Carder: No one has any proof about anybody grabbing me in the middle of the night.
Rothuss Carder: I don't tell tales.
Jericho: No! About a good night shift
Jericho: Although now that you mention it....?
Vee Barlett: walks over to Matty
Vee Barlett: You want your knife back?
Matthias Crowtooth: Nah, I'd feel better if you kept it.
Matthias Crowtooth: Even if you don't always use it... knowing that you have it to protect yourself... would make me feel better.
Vee Barlett: And here I thought I was gettin' sentimental. Damnit, Matty. Stop makin' me feel things.
Vee Barlett: But how 'bout a trade?
Vee Barlett: hands him a rough stone knife
Matthias Crowtooth: Ooooh... this looks like it could leave shards in a person. Thank you
Vee Barlett: From them goblins. Think yours will be more useful, but least you got somethin' too, yeah?
Vee Barlett: grins and gives him a friendly smack on the back
Matthias Crowtooth: smiles, realizes he is smiling, and coughs
Levi Reed: Dang, Matty. You're basically family at this point
Levi Reed: And... I mean, really... who isn't
Matthias Crowtooth: side-eyes Levi.
Jericho: Coughs hard
Vee Barlett: passes Matty a second stone knife
Vee Barlett: whispers, "In case ya wanna test it out but still keep one."
Matthias Crowtooth: Levi.... can we talk briefly?
Matthias Crowtooth: hefts the stone knife experimentally
Levi Reed: We can, but if you're looking for smarts, keep lookin at Lirt
Matthias Crowtooth: Wait... wait... No...
Matthias Crowtooth: LIRT! Can we talk?
Vee Barlett: ...Matty. I got a few more of them. If you hurt her, I'm gonna have to hurt you back, yeah?
Lirtimya: I guess? What do ya want?
Matthias Crowtooth: So... I hear that you took my job.... I...
Matthias Crowtooth: glances back at Vee
Matthias Crowtooth: ...wanted to congratulate you.... Good.... work....
Vee Barlett: smiles back at him (with slight threat)
Lirtimya: Thanks, wasn't what I was expecting. Sorry for taking your job, it wasn't my intention.
Matthias Crowtooth: grinds his teeth
Matthias Crowtooth: No... worr... ies...
Gideana stands up and breathes in the salty air.
Gideana shakes head listening to the other chat among themselves.
Vee Barlett: Hey Matty. You know First Mates don't usually drink, yeah? So if you ain't First Mate, you can still drink.
Vee Barlett: Maybe I know what I'm doin' here.
Jericho: Well, you say Usually, so it's probably not all inclusive.
Vee Barlett: Well, I should say maybe it's better for my first mate to be sober...
Gideana wanders over to Melange.
Matthias Crowtooth: perks up slightly
Jericho: When we finally get you your own ship, anyone can probably drink as they want if you are in charge
Vee Barlett: Got get yourself some rum, Matty. That barrel ain't gonna empty itself.
MeLange: Oh hey there Gideana
Gideana quietly sez...
Gideana: can you tell me a little bit about these folks?
MeLange: blocks the sun with his hand, eyes squinting
Rothuss Carder: Out of curiosity, just how many mates does a captain have? Two, Three, Ten?
Matthias Crowtooth: wanders off in search of rum
Vee Barlett: Only one with numbers is first mate. Well, I suppose you could argue quartermaster, too. But others have other titles dependin' on the ship and their role.
Rothuss Carder: Huh. Thanks. ... Why is it called *First* Mate then? First implies a Second, and so on. Couldn't it just be Mate?
MeLange: I could certainly try
Gideana leans against the ships railing, back to the sun
MeLange: of course I really don't know that much
MeLange: puts his hand down and relaxes his eyes
Gideana: oh no?
Gideana raises eyebrows
MeLange: How much can you really know? I don't even know about myself, leave alone others
MeLange: I can say this
Levi Reed: Careful now, he's got a girl, and she'll steal your gold
Gideana: ...
Gideana waits...
MeLange: Levi is a comrade, he's cool but not always great with ideas
MeLange: smirks to himself
MeLange: still, no better man to have on your side when you're out there
MeLange: except Vee probably
Levi Reed: Comrade sounds dirty when you say it
MeLange: Vee then Levi
Gideana smiles with relief, trying to glance at Levi
MeLange: looks at Levi
Vee Barlett: salutes them but doesn't interrupt
MeLange: in that order
Gideana: Thanks for the heads up.
Levi Reed: Yeah, that tracks
MeLange: Jericho is nice, he tries to save everyone
Jericho: Despite my better judgement
MeLange: to his own detriment
Jericho: Yes
Levi Reed: Even when they don't need or want saving
Jericho: ....
Jericho: I mean
Jericho: When you put it that way
Jericho: It sounds bad
Levi Reed: It's not good or bad, it just is
Vee Barlett: He tries, and that counts for somethin'
MeLange: I'm not sure what Rothuss is up to, but he's alright
Jericho: ....
Jericho: Huh
Gideana: Vee reminds me of my sister Wanya
Gideana sighs
Jericho: A scallywag with talent?
Jericho: Smiles at Vee
MeLange: and how about yourself Gideana?
MeLange: how would you sum yourself up in a sentence or two?
Vee Barlett: Hmm, I could refer to you as scallywag, but ya really wanna be lumped in with the likes of DeOrange?
Jericho: What a step up from Scallywag that is fancier?
Jericho: Ponders
Gideana smiles faintly...
Jericho: Ruffian?
Jericho: Rogue?
Vee Barlett: Nah, still same boat.
Jericho: Hm
Gideana: Strong. Wayna was confident.
Jericho: What would your dad call it? He's fancy
Vee Barlett: laughs
Vee Barlett: You can ask 'em when we see him.
Jericho: Yeah, your dad scares the shit out of me
Vee Barlett: Mate covers it all usually unless ya want a fancier title.
Vee Barlett: Which one?
Jericho: Both
Vee Barlett: laughs harder
Jericho: Did you see what I was wearing!
Vee Barlett: Yeah. Fashion.
Gideana considers MeL's question.
Jericho: I've never been so dressed up in my life
MeLange: Strong
Vee Barlett: No one's got a better eye than him.
Jericho: Yes. I gather if I ever need to actually appear competent for social events, I'm going to see if he does consulatations
Jericho: Shudders
Vee Barlett: He does. But boy does he charge for 'em.
The time is 5:00 PM
Jericho: Yeah, I gather they both are competent at money making
Vee Barlett: You might get the friends of family discount if yer lucky.
Jericho: Grins
Vee Barlett: smiles
Levi Reed: You offer Vee some kind of weapon and you're in, I think
Jericho: Ah....
Jericho: Well I don't really do weapons
Jericho: But I'm fine with rounds of drinks
Jericho: No one turns down those
Jericho: Well.....
Jericho: It's five
Gideana: I couldn't stay in B-town anymore. I had to get out. Too small, I was suffocating after Wayna was killed.
Vee Barlett: I mean, if yer serious about a consult, just ask me along. But I wouldn't say no to a drink before that.
Jericho: Oh. I'm sorry to hear that Gideana
Jericho: Face falls a bit
Gideana smiles shyly at Jericho overhearing the conversation.
Gideana: Thanks...umm..Jericho. Nice to meet you.
Senick Honorhorn: Comes to the docks with two bearers carrying one large chest
Gideana: The Captain came to our port every so often and I grew up knowing him. So I asked if he needed anymore crew. Here I am.
Jericho: Well glad to have you
Jericho: Kindly
Gideana puts out hand to shake.
Jericho: You as well
Jericho: Smiles
Jericho: Gives a good shake of the hand
Jericho: We'll definitely talk later
Jericho: You got some stories I'm sure
Vee Barlett: nods to Senick
Vee Barlett: That your guy?
Jericho: Yes Ma'am
Senick Honorhorn: So you have the goods?
Vee Barlett: Looks like he pulled through. You can take this one.
Jericho: Nods
Jericho: Yes Ma'am
MeLange: I'm sorry to hear about your loss Gideana
Jericho: Rothuss? Could you help me offload the chest? I have the documents
Rothuss Carder: pulls his hat off his face and smoothly rolls off his perch onto his feet, then saunters over to the railing to look out along the dock.
MeLange: The good news, however
MeLange: is that we have something in common
Rothuss Carder: Sure, man. I'll get this end.
Jericho: Smiles warmly
Jericho: Thanks Rothuss
Jericho: Heaves
Jericho: Both disembark and bring the chest
Gideana nods as Jericho heads off.
MeLange: shakes hand
Rothuss Carder: We want to invite the man on board? After all, he's got bearers already.
Gideana: raises her eyebrows at MeL.
MeLange: oh sorry! I thought you were reaching for my hand
Rothuss Carder: following along with his end hoisted.
MeLange: awkwardly pulls bakc
Gideana: Oh no...you've lost someone too?
Levi Reed: Rothuss makes sense... he's got the guys, no harm in inviting him up here
Levi Reed: Come on up man!
Jericho: Puffs a bit
Jericho: Shit, I need to work out more
MeLange: Well, the people I lost I never really knew, I was found abandoned as a baby, never knew my real family. But I meant more the need to get out of a small place, needing to be out of there even if you don't know where you're going next... that part
Jericho: I can barely lift this
Jericho: Damn
Gideana: Ah...
Levi Reed: waves Senick aboard
Gideana: nods knowingly...
Senick Honorhorn: Brings the large chest up onto the ship
Rothuss Carder: helps Jericho lower the crate to a convenient place.
Senick Honorhorn: So I need to see the full set now
Rothuss Carder: gestures to the crate.
Jericho: Indeed. May we inspect your payment as well?
Jericho: Here are the documents as well
MeLange: kind of a downer though huh?
Senick Honorhorn: Of course
Opens and looks through the crate checking over the silverware, and lovingly handles the candlesticks
Jericho: Passes the Import/Export paperwork that was with the crate
Jericho: You'll want that I'm sure
Jericho: For legitimacy of course
Gideana: I'm happy you were able to find your way in the world. Yes, I couldn't imagine staying there. There is much to see in the world!
Gideana: shakes head emphatically...
Jericho: Inspects the Chest with payment
Senick Honorhorn: Good we are good to go
Jericho: One moment please
Jericho: We are simply verifying payment
BOB a quick go through seems to be 800 gp
Gideana: No! not a downer at all. Look at where we are? Good ship, good breeze, and good company.
Jericho: Hm. I do believe you are two hundred short Senick
MeLange: exactly!
Jericho: 1000 was the agreed price including a commission
Senick Honorhorn: No no no
Senick Honorhorn: Look at the bottom
Senick Honorhorn: See
MeLange: Rather than thinking on why we've left, let's think on what we have here right in front of us!
Jericho: Looks down
Jericho: What am I looking for Senick?
Pushes coins out of the way and points to a latch at the bottom for a hidden compartment
Jericho: That is interesting
Gideana smiles widely and nods head.
Jericho: Why do you have a hidden compartment? I mean, it's smart but hard to verify
Senick Honorhorn: You never have a full take when you see the harbor master
Senick Honorhorn: I have you covered
Jericho: Ah
Jericho: You just taught me a fascinating lesson
Gideana: You think they are going to get anything for their goods?
Senick Honorhorn: You have 20 percent under there
Jericho: Vee! You gotta meet this guy
Senick Honorhorn: so you are good to go
Jericho: Open the Compartment
Jericho: One second Senick
Vee Barlett: comes over
MeLange: Sure why not? Maybe not as much as they'd hope for...
Jericho: But thank you
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 3]
Jericho: Vee, he just showed a hidden compartment. Isn't this cool?
-> Vee Barlett: Yes looks like a standard smuggling chest
Vee Barlett: She recognize the guy?
-> Vee Barlett: not other than the guy from yesterday
Jericho: You could hide stuff in this!
Levi Reed: Niiiice
Temperance: raises an eyebrow in mild interest at the excitement
Vee Barlett: nods
Vee Barlett: Seen a few of these. You know what you're doin' Senick.
Jericho: At Vee's nod, opens the compartment to do an inventory check
BOB hard to really open the compartment with all the gold inside the chest but you can open it a bit and see gold down there
Vee Barlett: This your main port?
Jericho: And so far he's been upfront with us as far as I can tell. He says no one here will no him if we use his name, but I thought you would be interested for future business
Jericho: Coughs
Jericho: Nods
Jericho: Can't do a proper check, but he seems more up front then anyone else on this island
Jericho: I like him
Vee Barlett: Good when someone follows through.
Senick Honorhorn: I live here on Mizzen
Jericho: Nods
Vee Barlett: I'll keep you in mind on future visits.
Jericho: I know you said your name wouldn't be recognized, but how can we find you again?
Jericho: You were very uprfront with us, and I always appreciate that gesture
Senick Honorhorn: When you need something important here in town you will find me
MeLange: Think they'll be long?
Vee Barlett: nods
Jericho: So
Jericho: In that vein
Vee Barlett: You'll find him.
Jericho: Because we are crazy, the price is fine. But how badly did we judge on the Candlesticks?
Jericho: I saw you eyeing them quite nicely
Jericho: Was that our bad? One guy to another?
Senick Honorhorn: You done with this transaction?
Jericho: Nods
Vee Barlett: Yeah. Thank ya, sir.
Vee Barlett: Smooth waters to ya.
Senick Honorhorn: I can sell those for a good profit, they are at least 100 years old
Jericho: I call this education
Jericho: Smiles
Senick Honorhorn: Only to a high end bidder of course, so I will need to sit on them for a while
Rothuss Carder: Why would anyone want old candlesticks?
Jericho: Because rich people want weird shit Rothuss
Senick Honorhorn: But later this year, I might make a good profit
Levi Reed: Rich people just want to show off how rich they are
Vee Barlett: can easily think of such a bidder and wonders if gold candlesticks are out and old ones in
Senick Honorhorn: But they need a good story first
Jericho: If you need help spinning a tale, the former transport was dragged to the depths of the sea
Rothuss Carder: Well, you need a good story for them, look me up next time I'm in town. Stories is what I do.
Senick Honorhorn: Lost at sea for decades, recently discovered, brought back from the depths by a daring sailor
Jericho: And barely recovered as the crate was sinin into the abyss
Vee Barlett: Toss in some good omen, you might get a higher bid.
Jericho: Damn, you are good at that
Jericho: Murmers
Senick Honorhorn: Or a curse those can fetch a good price too
Vee Barlett: nods
Jericho: You can't be serious
Jericho: People by cursed objects?
Vee Barlett: Depends on the buyer.
Levi Reed: A man lost a life in the quest to get those
Senick Honorhorn: Nods
Jericho: By Throat Displacement no less
Senick Honorhorn: He fell in love with a mermaid and she stole his heart and his dinner set
Jericho: So...if we find cursed objects, you'll take those off our hands?
Senick Honorhorn: Well maybe that needs work
Jericho: Laughs
Levi Reed: One of the worst kind of displacesments
Jericho: I kind of like it!
Matthias Crowtooth: The heart was probably incidental. She was after the dinner set from the beginning.
Vee Barlett: That was one time, Matty. Why you keep bringin' it up?
Jericho: But really, you'll basically take anything...weird as long as it has value?
Levi Reed: As long as you can make a profit?
Senick Honorhorn: I do NOT trade in coconuts
Senick Honorhorn: Disgusting
Levi Reed: Matty, if I know anything about women, that's closer to the truth that you could possibly know
Jericho: I for one haven't meet anyone who was basically upfront and wasn't complicated with his words. This guy might as well be my one go to for this stuff
Jericho: And Okay. No Coconuts
Senick Honorhorn: Only weirdos want coconuts
Levi Reed: Yeah, you seem like good people Senick
Jericho: It was a sincere pleasure to meet you, but as our captain keeps saying, the tide waits for no man
Jericho: Smiles
Matthias Crowtooth: Take that back about coconuts.
Senick Honorhorn: Good thing she is a woman then
Jericho: Shakes head at Mattias
Jericho: ....Huh
Jericho: I should have said that to the captain
Jericho: A good comeback
Senick Honorhorn: I give you that for free
Jericho: Then again, he might have slapped me around
Vee Barlett: Only Raimund would, but good thing he ain't captain.
Jericho: So
Jericho: Shrugs
Jericho: Thanks
Senick Honorhorn: See you the next time you are in port
Jericho: Grins
Vee Barlett: salutes him off
Jericho: I'll buy you a drink.
Jericho: For not being an asshole or complicated
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, here's my proposal for splitting the money. Half in the party pack, the other half divided up evenly among PCs, and a further 2 shares for the captain and crew who aren't PCs.
Vee Barlett: You did good, kid.
Jericho: Rolls eyes
Vee Barlett: CAPTAIN! WE'RE SET TO SAIL!
Vee Barlett: Y'all get that below deck.
Jericho: Vee. I do believe we are essentially the same age.
Jericho: But thank you
Vee Barlett: grins
Jericho: Maybe you are rubbing off on me a bit
Gideana a big sigh of relief
Jericho: Pauses
Raimund Feilhaber: Man the oars you lazy scum
Jericho: Don't take that out of context please
Vee Barlett: Nah, pretty sure I'm at least a month older than you. Therefore you're a kid.
Levi Reed: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 5]
Jericho: Sighs
Jericho: Back to it eh?
Jericho: The sooner we can get this...er....copied for...archival purposes the better
Vee Barlett: grins, "Then to the oars you go, yeah?"
Jericho: Yep
Jericho: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 8) [FAILURE by 11] [d20 = 19]
BOB The ship leaves the docks
BOB and suddenly Temperance and Gideana are off to sea, away from Mizzen
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 9]

BOB You have Matty and Vee at the wheel instead of Lirt
Gideana checks the portside railing and peers over at the side of the hull
Vee Barlett: Vee shrugs and grabs some rum
Vee Barlett: Lookin' good there, Matey!
Vee Barlett: cheers her with a mug of rum
Gideana smiles at Vee and ties a stopper knot around the mast
Vee Barlett: eyein' the new crew as she drinks her rum
Matthias Crowtooth: smiles, enjoying the air
BOB But here is where Temperance and Gideana should ask questions about where you are actually going now that they have no way back and the rest can quiz them on who the hell these two actually are
Jericho: So what other stories do you have you two?
Levi Reed: So what made you decide to join this motley crew, newbies?
Jericho: Besides wanting to get out of your hometown anyways
Jericho: Sorry again about your sister
Vee Barlett: nods towards Temperance, "Think we scared her quiet?"
Jericho: Have you met us Vee?
Vee Barlett: I've met me. That's enough.
Jericho: Snorts
Jericho: And yet we all keep coming back for more
Jericho Snickers
Vee Barlett: Y'all are suppose to soften' it.
Vee Barlett: laughs
Vee Barlett: Says more about you than me then, don't it?
Jericho: Oh sorry. I can't really sugercoat much of anything
Jericho: Eh
Jericho: Yeah, that's partly me though
Vee Barlett: I thought sugar helped the medicine go down?
Jericho: Shudders
Jericho: Not in my experience
Vee Barlett: Don't tell me yer one of them priest who make us take medicine WITHOUT sugar?
Gideana puts her hands on hips with false bravado
Temperance: There isn't really much to tell
Vee Barlett: And here I was startin' to like you.
Jericho: have you ever been covered in sugary vomit?
Gideana: laughs
Vee Barlett: No comment.
Matthias Crowtooth: How... specific
Jericho: NO!
Gideana laughs
Jericho: You haven't?
Jericho: Have you?
Vee Barlett: I've been around drunks. I didn't dissect what was in their vomit when it got on me.
Jericho: ......
Temperance: Other than the fact that I consider the topics of conversation rather ... intriguing.
Jericho: ......
Jericho: Fair enough
Jericho: Yes, let's focus on you!
Jericho: Relieved
Levi Reed: Ah, and which topics in particular are you interested in?
Vee Barlett: Intriguin'? Go on? Which topic? 'Bout Jericho's toes? Levi's... levi-ness? The shirtless man there? Matty's AMAZING haircut?
Gideana: my youngest sister ate too much gizzada once and puked all over my new dress at the longest day festival
Levi Reed: Matty's unusually long neck
Vee Barlett: cringes at Gideana's story
Vee Barlett: Ew.
Matthias Crowtooth: fingers his stone knife
Matthias Crowtooth: All the better to loom over you, my dear
Jericho: Rolls eyes but grins
Gideana: she chuckles again, remembering the story
Jericho: Hopefully it cleaned up okay?
Levi Reed: How many sisters you got?
Lirtimya: According to my rolls: is standing in her navigation position looking at such an angle where she can't see the sky
Temperance: Perhaps the whole combination.
Jericho: Winces
Gideana: I was so happy when she and Kevhan married. That way I was off the hook.
Jericho: Off the hook?
Jericho: What do you mean?
Gideana she smiles with embarassment...
Jericho: Er
Jericho: Sorry, if it's private no worries
Gideana: Since my oldest sister died, I was expected to get married but when my younger sister was bethrothed, it meant that I didn't have to be!
Gideana wipes her brow as if dodging an arrow.
Jericho: You were expected to get married?
Jericho: Well...I'm glad you are off the hook
Rothuss Carder: Yeah, man, common practice. Only one daughter is allowed to get married. The others all have to become maids or cooks. Pretty common story.
Gideana: Oh yes! It's part of my culture.
Jericho: What?
MeLange: tale as old as time
Jericho: I'm sorry, Rothuss are you serious?
Vee Barlett: I thought it was the daughter to carry on the legacy?
Rothuss Carder: As serious as I ever am.
Jericho: The rest are expected to become maids or cooks?
Jericho: Face turning red with anger
Vee Barlett: Small towns, Jericho. Ain't like that in cities. Mostly. Probably.
Gideana: He is right. Only one daughter needs to get married. Actually, we have a few other options than just maids or cooks.
Vee Barlett: I mean, still got some expectations. I think.... er, maybe don't go off my experience.
Jericho: I don't want to judge culture
Rothuss Carder: Right. Priest. Gotta remember that. No, I wasn't serious, Jericho.
Jericho: But still, that makes me a little... well, each culture is unique
Gideana smiles good-naturedly.
Jericho: Clearly uncomfortable
Matthias Crowtooth: No... in the cities, sons are supposed to break their backs working for the family, same as sons.
BOB On the map you can see the distances too, 52 miles to Osterhold, or go home to Achild at 38 miles
Jericho: Doesn't want to sound like an ass
Levi Reed: Man, my family should have been in that culture. Mine is all like, "the man is supposed to carry on the family name and business" and none of that's going to be happening
Temperance: Sometimes there are traditions that are a bit difficult to change, whether we like it or not.
Jericho: Tradition
Jericho: Slightly bitterly
Jericho: Sorry
Vee Barlett: Yeah, fun when you're born in a family with expectations, yeah?
Jericho: I'm become rather jaded the past month
Temperance: Nothing to be sorry for. It is just what it is.
Gideana nods emphatically.
Jericho: Gets a little quiet
Rothuss Carder: I come from a goat-herding town. I'm familiar with stupid traditions.
Gideana: looks at Rothuss quizzically...
Gideana: goat-herding...the family of goat herders did very well where I'm from...
Lirtimya: Luckily I did not have to deal with any of that, I've lived a solitary life for the most part, no one to expect that from me
Gideana turns toward Lirt
Jericho: To Vee with honesty: "Am I really so in my own box that I've missed this kind of cultural interaction?"
Gideana: May I ask...was that lonely or did you enjoy the solitude?
BOB Also yes to Wendy and Alyssa's stories, Mizzen is a very small version of Borenquen, a mountain-ish in the middle, towns on either side, beaches, etc.
Vee Barlett: I told ya sailin' the seas and leavin' the island would do ya some good, yeah?
Jericho: Yeah, I'm starting to think it might be
Jericho: Grunts
Vee Barlett: Only a problem if ya wanna stay in the box. But I don't think ya do, and that's a good thing.
Jericho: The sea doesn't give a damn about politics. It has rules that make sense
Lirtimya: It could be either, some days routine got to me, others I would make a discovery about myself or the sea
Vee Barlett: Sea don't give a damn about anything. It's why no one can ever take me from it.
Jericho: I think the sea would be upset with that sentiment
Jericho: Winks
Vee Barlett: points to Lirt, "See? First Mate knows how it goes. Sea is unpredictable, but it doesn't give a damn. And that's refreshin'"
Gideana looking at Jericho...
Jericho: Ah sorry Gideana
Gideana: Oh, I think the Sea plays by her own rules and she can be pretty whimsical
Jericho: As you can tell, I'm carrying a chip on my shoulder. See, we seem to have been wrapped up in plots, dasterdly deeds, and complicated people
Gideana laughs
Jericho: The sea is easy
Jericho: In comparison
Temperance: Sometimes I think whimsical is a bit of an understatement.
Lirtimya: The sea is a beautiful place
Jericho: It just wants to kill me straightforward. Everyone else except for the people on the ship want to make it complicated in the process.
Jericho: Grins
Vee Barlett: Sea's got my heart.
Rothuss Carder: It's just like everywhere else. Except wetter.
Jericho: Starting to get mine, but don't tell anyone esle that
Vee Barlett: I won't tell Levi, at least.
Vee Barlett: grins
Gideana laughs at Rothuss and Vee.
Rothuss Carder: The sea can have my piss, does that count?
Jericho: Coughs
Matthias Crowtooth: stares at him in bewildered anger
Jericho: don't let the god of the sea hear you say that Rothuss
Jericho: Especially while I am on a ship
Gideana heads down to a lower deck.
Rothuss Carder: Okay, now I gotta know. Just where exactly to you pee at when you're onboard ship?
Rothuss Carder: I mean, I've just been aiming over the side.
Jericho: I pee in the piss pot. I know it goes in the sea, but I try not to say out loud. It's saying the quiet part loud you know?
Jericho: And now I feel like an Idiot
Jericho: Thank you Rothuss.
Jericho: I need to be more openiminded
Jericho: Damn it
Rothuss Carder: Is that a priest thing, or is this a sailor rule I didn't know about?
Jericho: No it's a Jericho is an idiot thing. You should be used to it by now
Jericho: Hey, something has stuck with me when we visited that shrine
Jericho: The priestess there had friend of mermaids as part of her title
Jericho: Do mermaids have friends as we know the words?
Jericho: You ever hear anything about that?
Vee Barlett: We got some off by the Western Riff. They can certainly be reasoned with and befriended, but sometimes you got bad blood between them and land people so it ain't always easy.
Jericho: Really?
Jericho: Any idea why that is?
Jericho: Fighting over territoriy or soemthing? Fishing rights?
Vee Barlett: Fisherman wanna fish. Mermaids don't want them fishing near their home. Each claim the ocean as their own.
MeLange: hey that sounds nice
Jericho: Well I mean....if you think about it...they are both wrong. We only borrow the land and water we live in, the food and water we drink, it all goes back to the earth in the end
Jericho: Even this air we breath. It's all borrowed
Jericho: But I get the arguement
Rothuss Carder: Just so long as it's not leased, I'm okay.
Vee Barlett: Yeah... ain't gonna go well if you argue that. Maybe take a course in politics before ya offer to try an' make peace with 'em?
Vee Barlett: winks
Jericho: Smiles wickedly
Jericho: If I did politics, think I could say it?
Vee Barlett: laughs
Jericho: I'd laugh if it actually gave anyone pause
Vee Barlett: No. You'd learn why you SHOULDN'T say that.
Jericho: Laughs harder
Jericho: Good point
Jericho: Nevertheless, I think my goal is to not be mean to anyone if they aren't actively trying to kill me
Jericho: Oh crap
Jericho: Self Realization dawns
Jericho: I'm not good at that
Jericho: .....
Jericho: I'll work on that statement
Jericho: I don't want to be mean to mermaids
Jericho: How about that
Jericho: Quietly rows
Jericho: How does so much change happen so quickly?
MeLange: helps Jericho
Jericho: Nothing in life was quite so exciting and then BAM in two weeks I met everyone, given a mission that frankly I was terrible at, got a death curse on me, and then bumbled around until this point
Jericho: How the hells does this happen?
Levi Reed: I mean, just because you haven't been a certain way doesn't mean you CAN'T be a certain way
Levi Reed: You just gotta want it
Levi Reed: And then do it
Jericho: Easier said then done, but I do agree with the sentiment
Jericho: I've said that to quite a few people at the clinic
Rothuss Carder: You're better off, Jericho. Boredom is the death of the soul.
Temperance: I'd be surprised if change didn't take place so quickly.
Jericho: "Oh, I can't stop drinking even though my guts hurt" mimics Jericho in false falsetto
Jericho: Huh. Having my own words thrown back at me makes it hard to argue with myself
Jericho: subsitute the drinking with being mean of course
Jericho: So.....
Jericho: Do you think our bar could use some gaming tables or investors? I'll still pay my tithe, but I thought we could...I don't know...make it nicer?
Jericho: More gaming, more talk, more kinds of booze
Jericho: Not sure what that would cost, but I'd love to spend any of my share on it
MeLange: looks at Jericho
Levi Reed: I don't know, gambling sometimes attracts the wrong sorts
Jericho: Might be funner to....hang out more
Jericho: Slightly embarrassed at admitting he likes the gang so much
Jericho: And a bouncer?
Jericho: I guess?
Rothuss Carder: While we're in town, you've got me and Ratbone to liven the place up some.
Jericho: I mean. Did you see that one bouncer throw out that drunk when we were looking for Vee?
Jericho: We should hire someone like that if we put in gaming tables
Levi Reed: If we could get THAT guy, I'm in
Jericho: Brightens
Rothuss Carder: I figured MeL could bounce. He's big enough.
MeLange: Oh I could bounce
Jericho: MeL got snared by a snake woman not once, but twice
Jericho: No offense MeL
Levi Reed: Yeah, MeL could, but he'd let in anyone who said he was cute
MeLange: Hey more action than you've seen Jericho
Jericho: .....
Jericho: Well, I was the one to pry her off you, so I'd say I got some of it
MeLange: somebody say I was cute?
Temperance: chuckles quietly to herself
Jericho: But point taken
Rothuss Carder: Snake woman, eh? Sounds interesting.
Jericho: Uh yeah MeL
Jericho: Lots of people
Jericho: You know we hear that quite often right?
Jericho: We just thought you knew
MeLange: Still nice to hear
Jericho: Turns to Rothuss
Jericho: He didn't know?
Rothuss Carder: I try not to stroke his ego too much.
Jericho: So...gaming tables anyone?
MeLange: I guess when there's nobody to save that's when the sass comes out
Jericho: Investing never hurt anyone
Levi Reed: She tried to STRANGLE you
Levi Reed: She DID strangle you
Jericho: Only a little
MeLange: alright let it go so I had a little whoopsie
Jericho: I frankly thought he might be enjoying it after the second time
Temperance: Maybe he's attracted to strangulation
MeLange: what a woman never tried to kill you before?
Jericho: No MeLange
Levi Reed: Ooooh, good point newbie. What's your name?
Rothuss Carder: Not more than once.
Jericho: They call me names, but don't try to kill me
Jericho: Sideyes Rothuss
Levi Reed: MeL, you into that kind of thing?
MeLange: well you know it's not so bad
Temperance: You can call me Temperance.
Jericho: Wide-eyed at MeLange
Jericho: Hey you do you
MeLange: I mean maybe, don't know till you try
Jericho: You know...Levi...I might be fine being called prudish after all
Levi Reed: Temperance. I like that. Very poetic.
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Artistic Ability [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 18]
Lemon (Levi Reed): FINE MAYBE IT'S NOT POETIC, GOD.
Jericho: I'm not into the rough stuff
Rothuss Carder: Affectionate nicknames okay, or full name only?
Rothuss Carder: continues rowing
Levi Reed: Hey, I wasn't the one who called you a prude man!
MeLange: sure you say that now Jericho
MeLange: after games n gambling, the next g is girls, best watch yourself Jericho
Temperance: I don't see how it could be. Poetic, I mean. But to each their own.
Temperance: And depends on the nickname, I suppose?
Jericho: Ahem, I'm investing in tables, not woman of the night MeLange
Levi Reed: Yeah, we definitely don't need a brothel
Levi Reed: Unless it's not just a brothel full of women
MeLange: Yes because gambling never attracts that sort
Temperance: I believe they're trying to tell you that sometimes one thing leads to unexpected others
Rothuss Carder: Maybe not *need*, but it's okay to want.
MeLange: Temperance, as wise as her name sounds
Levi Reed: Oh, damn! Another one with smarts! LIRT! We found you a friend! I bet she reads books and everything!
Lirtimya: Books?
Jericho: I know it's a bit shortsighted, I just figured we could expand it a bit. Investing means we might be able to turn more money back for our other ventures you know....I mean...if you guys would be interested in an annoying priest hanging around
Levi Reed: You read books, Temperance?
Jericho: Looks over in appreciation
Jericho: What types of books do you like?
MeLange: Jericho, if you weren't around I couldn't give you a hard time anymore
Temperance: I am neither in favor nor in dissent of your choice, we are just advising you to be aware of the consequences.
Temperance: I do enjoy reading, lightly speaking.
Levi Reed: You know what, Jericho. Three days ago I would have tried to figure out how to get rid of you, but today you seem almost ok.
MeLange: yea... and that one day you're gonna be into rough stuff probably
Jericho: Oh boy, not being aware of consequences is a fatal flaw of ours
Jericho: or at least mine
Vee Barlett: Ain't half bad ideas, Jericho. But ya gotta convince Gloria.
Lirtimya: What type of books do you read?
Vee Barlett: Maybe seduce her.
Vee Barlett: grins
Jericho: Only three?
MeLange: oh my
Levi Reed: You think Gloria'd be seduced by a stick in the mud?
Temperance: I try to keep an open mind in terms of literature.
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Vee Barlett: No clue, but I do know it'd be entertainin' for me to watch.
Jericho: Swivels gaze to Vee. "I'm sorry, but did you just tell me to seduce a business partner?"
Lirtimya: That's good, an open mind is a learning mind
Jericho: Now, again, I'm not judging but that can't be standard business practice
Vee Barlett: Ain't that how business usually works?
Jericho: Oh.My.God. Is it?
Vee Barlett: Suppose it depends on the business...
Jericho: How about I give you the money to hopefully not waste, and you operate as the investor?
Jericho: Hopefully
MeLange: ummm Jericho?
Temperance: Would you happen to have any recommendations? On books, I mean.
Jericho: Or hell, even your dads. They must be good with investments
MeLange: maybe don't just give your money away to people?
Jericho: Do you like History Temperance?
Jericho: Its' not like it's random people MeLange
Temperance: I appreciate History, yes.
Jericho: It's Vee
Vee Barlett: No, no. You give me the money before you give it to my dads, yeah?
MeLange: I mean its kinda random
MeLange: just like random people you happen to meet
The date is Mid____de, 7th Kye (Late Winter), 586 SGR
Young Moon's phase is Last Quarter
Old Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous
The time is 5:00 AM
Jericho: Oh
Jericho: I figure it's a way to be nice
Lirtimya: I would reading things based on your situation, if you plan to go sailing, read a book of the area first, and how to sail, it will help plenty
Jericho: When people are nice to me I try to help them as best as I can
Jericho: I'm not good with words, so I try small gifts
Vee Barlett: Nah, that's fine, but be smart about it.
Levi Reed: You try to help people who are mean to you and threaten you point blank
MeLange: Watch out bud, the first thing a smart criminal does is be nice to people
Levi Reed: I saw it twice on that beach back there
Vee Barlett: And you should choose me over my dads. Because I ain't gonna see that money again otherwise, and I don't need them teasin' me about that.
Jericho: Again, it's YOU. I mean, yeah your shady, but I seriously doubt you would....well maybe you would...but I doubt you'd just outright steal it
Jericho: Oh, they don't do investing services?
Vee Barlett: raises brow
Jericho: I figure they need clean money once in awhile to seem legit
Temperance: I suppose learning about the sea is a good start, considering there are so many opinions about it.
Vee Barlett: Don't get tangled with 'em, yeah? All I'm goin' to say.
MeLange: everybody's got one
Vee Barlett: Fashion is fine. Don't do more.
Jericho: Say no more. If Vee says it, no way in hell I'm getting involved with that
Jericho: I don't know shady stuff well
Lirtimya: I got to teach a few of these guys about rivers under the sea, there is always more to learn
Vee Barlett: You good matey, or you need a break?
Lirtimya: [SKILL] Navigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 11]
Lirtimya: [SKILL] Seamanship [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 7]
Lirtimya: [SKILL] Weather Sense [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]
BOB You rowed through the night (carissa said it and no one objected) so you are out in the middle of the ocaen
Rothuss Carder: Best advice is, don't get involved with anything you'd be embarrassed about anybody knowing.
Lirtimya: I've got it Vee
Jericho: investing money?
Jericho: Confused
Vee Barlett: goes to refill her rum mug, and holds it up, smiling at her
MeLange: so just admit from now you want to invest in a brothel
Jericho: .....is that something they would invest in? I figured it might be something like shipping, or banking, or....maybe you are right
Jericho: What the hell was I thinking
Rothuss Carder: I've been through the sea on a whale with no name..
MeLange: nothing wrong with it, reliable business i bet
Rothuss Carder: It felt good to get off of the plains...
Jericho: You know...I think i'm getting less uncomfortable about the rocking motion. It actually feels kind of nice when I'm sitting down or trying to sleep
BOB I will say there were watches for all the spell casters to get full spells again
BOB Finally after 2 days
Jericho: Tries as hard as he can to see if anyone is watching him
Jericho: [SAVE] vs. Spell [d20 = 3]
Save [3] [Target 15] -> [for Jericho] [FAILURE]
BOB Jericho is certain no one is interested in him
Jericho: Damn it
Jericho: I can't seem to get that down
Vee Barlett: Too much rum? It happens.
Jericho: Oh and by the way Vee, I will need that alias
Vee Barlett: brightens
Vee Barlett: Yeah?
Jericho: I have to return the Stamp to the Cathedral
Jericho: I don't want to be noticed as ME
Jericho: Since we are bringing it back to the Sunset
Levi Reed: Ok but it didn't say you have to GIVE it to anyone. Maybe we can just walk in and back out
Jericho: Exactly Levi
Jericho: But if they see ME, they might know i've returned with the stamp
Jericho: We don't want that
Vee Barlett: Sounds like you need another makeover!
Vee Barlett: Oh man, I love when Dad gives makeovers.
Vee Barlett: More reason to see them first, yeah?
Levi Reed: How do you know if the geas is gone? Do you feel it or...?
BOB You FEEL you have the Geas on you, is that becuase of the spell? belief? pyscosomatic?
Jericho: In all honesty Levi, the wording was vague enough and my intentions are sincere enough, that I consider it returned upon bringing it to the Cathedral
Jericho: I've done what was asked.
Jericho: Hell, I thought it was more over just to ensure I did everything I could to get it back and in the hands of the faith. I don't even know they wanted it back specifically to them
Jericho: At least what I thought at the time, regardless of what everyone has made me consider lately
Jericho: But even then, It's returning to the faith and to whom it was stolen, which is right and proper
Jericho: That being said, I'll still need that Alias.
Levi Reed: Sure but which branch? Some of them might be up to something weird, you know?
Jericho: I'll still be a priest and a member of the faith, but outside of Sunset, I need to be a different person
Levi Reed: Like why is that thing even in a fifty year old bottle of rum?
BOB THERE is the question from Lemon
Vee Barlett: Because the church is weird.
Jericho: Who cares Levi? I live at the Sunset, not the Cathedral. Until I find people who would be willing to help me grow in other ways, I can't just burn my relationships
Rothuss Carder: Somebody thought they were being clever.
Jericho: I'm doing what was asked
Levi Reed: Look, we're making enough money that you don't have to go back there if you don't want to. You're obviously a man of your faith, I'm sure your god will still love you even if you dont' go to church
Lirtimya: Does anyone know where the stamp is?
Jericho: I know he will because I'm doing the best I can. If you think we'd be better off giving it to the Cathedral, I trust your judgement a lot more
Jericho: As rough as everyone here has been, you've mostly been more upfront then everyone else so far has
Levi Reed: I don't know anything about any of them, I just think maybe we ought to find out a bit more before making the decision
Jericho: Shit, Vee was the one who even told me what we were doing
Vee Barlett: walks over to Lirt, pulls the rum out of her bag, and holds it.
Jericho: Sighs
Lirtimya: I'm going to see if I can detect magic on it Vee
Vee Barlett: I trust ya, matey.
Levi Reed: Vee's dads might have a little more of the scoop on the different churches, and which ones are... less straightforward with their dealings than others
Levi Reed: I'm sure they all think they're doing what's best
Jericho: Before we give it up, I'll offer a prayer for guidance. If I receive nothing, I'll bring it back to the Sunset unless something shows me it really should go back there. Fair? If this isn't proper, Perhaps I will receive some sort of confirmation that what I'm doing is in the best interest of him.
Jericho: It can't hurt
Levi Reed: But... you know, organizations get short sighted sometimes
Levi Reed: Ah, yah, praying's probably good
Jericho: I'm just trying to do right by him. I love the church, but I love the church because of the God, not the people
Jericho: People seem to be shitty all around
Jericho: Gods....well arguements could be made, but not about mine
Levi Reed: A week ago you would have roasted me on a spit for saying that
Levi Reed: I'm proud of you, man
Jericho: Yeah a week ago I wasn't exposed to this much of the world
Lirtimya: [d20 = 9]
-> Lirtimya: The bottle of rum GLOWS for Lirt with a priestly warm glow, something inside of there is defineatly magic and of some sort of a priestly nature
-> Lirtimya: Lirt does not know how to create magic items but she does know that priests and mages have very different ways of doing that, so it would not be possible for a mage to create a priest item
Jericho: I felt like we all grew up quick
Jericho: Or at least, I did
Jericho: But only a bit
Levi Reed: I mean, I'm not trying to say your church is bad, I'm just saying... it doesn't hurt to look into it a bit before returning something so powerful
Jericho: My arms hurt
Lirtimya: I think, no I'm pretty sure, we've got it, that looks priestly to me
Vee Barlett: grins and stows the rum back in her bag
Vee Barlett: Thanks, matey. Glad you're here.
Lirtimya: Glad to be able to help
Jericho: I mean Levi, I don't think your wrong, but we are literally taking the stamp to be duplicated unlawfully
Jericho: How much more can I want without crossing into heresy?
Jericho: I'm doing pretty damn good all things considered
Rothuss Carder: Oh good. Hate to lose Jericho so young. He's got at least 2, maybe 3 years, left to him.
Vee Barlett: Hey hey hey
Levi Reed: Legality is just politics
Vee Barlett: We ain't doing anything. We're just takin' it to be looked at, yeah?
Jericho: rolls eyes
Jericho: I'm telling myself that to preserve the shreds of my soul
Jericho: What they actually do with it needs to be willful ignorance
Jericho: I can suspect, but will hope they do the right thing
Levi Reed: Maybe they're going to use it to help orphans
Jericho: Coughs
Jericho: Yeah....
Vee Barlett: My half siblings?
Jericho: Close enough
Levi Reed: I meant real orphans, but that too
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Vee Barlett: It's just facts.
Jericho: But again, I really don't want that kind of confirmation of what they do with it. I DO want to not die, so if you could help make sure I get that goal accomplished I'd be much obliged
Vee Barlett: We're just gonna ask them for advice, nothin' more.
Jericho: Advice is always valued
Jericho: Nods
Jericho: I rather like that approach
Jericho: I'll stay out of the room while you confer with your experts
Jericho: If that's alright?
Vee Barlett: That's fine, but ya gotta ask Dad for an alias yourself.
Levi Reed: We should ALL stay out of the room
Levi Reed: Except Vee
Levi Reed: That's family business
Jericho: Oh no...
Vee Barlett: I'm gonna back you up, but you gotta be the one makin' the request.
Jericho: See when you said not to mix up with your dads....
Jericho: I thought I was dealing with you....
Jericho: for that
Vee Barlett: Don't worry. He'll love it. That's a different mixin'
Jericho: Ah
Jericho: Okay
Levi Reed: Oh the alias yeah, you gotta get in on that
Levi Reed: But BUSINESS? You leave that to the family
Jericho: You do realize I want to still be me, just not when I am outside of Sunset right?
Vee Barlett: points to Levi and nods
Vee Barlett: See? That's why we're still friends. Levi gets it.
Jericho: It tends to result in death curses and the likes
Jericho: Smiles at Levi
Jericho: I think I've learned more life skills from you lot then an entire life elsewhere
BOB and for Wendy your first chance to roll an encounter
Temperance: [d20 = 2]
BOB and there is not a storm
Rothuss Carder: Just throwing it out there, in case it might be useful...
Rothuss Carder: imitates Jericho's voice.

Vee Barlett: Expandin' your horizons!
Rothuss Carder: My name is Jericho, and I like rum!
Vee Barlett: OH! Ya had any yet?
Vee Barlett: Levi! Why's he still sober?
Vee Barlett: Fix it.
Jericho: My name is Salas, and I like Rum
Jericho: Winks
Jericho: outside of Sunset
Levi Reed: Hey, he's made a lot of progress, I'm not going to push the issue right now
The time is 11:00 AM
The date is Mid____de, 7th Man (Early Spring), 586 SGR
Young Moon's phase is New Moon
Old Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous
Jericho: I keep my values, but am just another person wandering the lands
Vee Barlett: Fine.
Jericho: I like that quite well
Vee Barlett: We still got a bit of sailing left to do. There's still time...
