BOB You are on a ship

Jericho: SO why do you drink Vee?

Vee Barlett: Because I can?

Jericho: And seriously, what about the headache

Jericho: My head is pounding

Vee Barlett: What headache? Levi? He is one, isn't he?

Jericho: Levi?

Jericho: What?

Vee Barlett: He's a headache.

Jericho: I'm sorry, my vision is bit blurry at the moment

Vee Barlett: Too bad Lirt had to nap. I was gonna ask her to babysit him again for me.

Jericho: How the hell do you not look like...well....me?

Vee Barlett: Because I'm prettier?

Jericho: Haha

Jericho: Mutters

Vee Barlett: grins

Jericho: Why is it so bright outside?

Ratbone Carder: smirks

Vee Barlett: You just get used to it. And know your limits. And don't drink so much on your first drink.

Vee Barlett: Chug some water today. Lots of it.

Jericho: Well it's not like any of you stopped me!?

Jericho: At least....

Jericho: I don't quite remember

Vee Barlett: Why would we? Drunk Jericho was VERY entertaining.

Jericho: Huh

Ratbone Carder: Or you just keep doing it and learn that misery and joy are sides of the same coin!

Jericho: Oh gods

Jericho: Whispers

Jericho: WHAT DID I SAY?

Vee Barlett: grins

Jericho: Winces at the loud tone

Vee Barlett: Now where's the fun in that?

Jericho: Groans

Temperance: muffles a chuckle, looking rather amused

Ratbone Carder: Oh the problem with driking is usually what you DO

Jericho: What's said in drunk stupor stays in drunk stupor?

Jericho: Asks Hopefully

Vee Barlett: But I don't think Levi's gonna let you down for all that.

Vee Barlett: Nope.

Jericho: Scowls against the brightness

Jericho: Yeah, figures

Jericho: I'm just gonna...lean here for a moment

Jericho: Leans heavily on the railing

Vee Barlett: Hmm, when yer feelin' a little more steady, I got somthin' for you to hold onto.

Jericho: Well, I suppose now that I've tasted it, I can at least make it taste better

Jericho: Grumbles

Temperance: Try not to fall, please.

Jericho: Nods. As long as it's not something sticky, I'll hold whatever you want

Vee Barlett: Hmm, good point. Not sure he can swim drunk...

Jericho: Seriously though, you like that paint thinner? I can make it taste better you know

Jericho: Mix berries in, or honey

Jericho: Ponders....

Vee Barlett: Nah, was just gonna give you one of them younger rum bottles to hold on to for now. Not that yer paranoia is gettin' to me BUT, ya know, maybe keep it on you and play dumb if you need at port.

Temperance: I don't think I've seen anyone swim under the influence successfully.

Jericho: Rum with Mixed Berries

Jericho: Waves hand

Jericho: I shall keep it safe for you

Jericho: And hopefully my head will clear

Rasmus Valen: Mead is sweet enough

Jericho: Jumps

Vee Barlett: eyes him and carefully hands him one of the bottles

Vee Barlett: Put it in your pouch so ya don't drop it

Jericho: Sways a bit, but carefully puts in pouch

Vee Barlett: Mead is too sweet.

Jericho: Will do

Vee Barlett: Rum is great, but you need good aged rum to really enjoy the taste.

Jericho: You can always add LESS honey I suppose

Jericho: Brightens

Jericho: Oh

Rasmus Valen: Can you ?

Jericho: Sure

Rasmus Valen: I thought Mead equals Honey

Jericho: Smiles as Rasmus

Vee Barlett: It still brews fine?

Jericho: Just don't call it mead

Vee Barlett: Call it what then? Garbage?

Rasmus Valen: Laughs

Jericho: If you add small amount of berries, the sugar will sweeten it less, while the honey provides the majority. Just add less

Jericho: Frowns

Jericho: Well

Jericho: I don't think it would be garbage

Jericho: Let me whip up a batch.

Jericho: Then you can decide

Vee Barlett: Since yer a drinker now, you can try it and tell us.

Jericho: Shudders

Vee Barlett: grins

Jericho: Maybe in a year

Jericho: Or when a REALLY big celebration is at hand

Vee Barlett: Nah. Levi will want ya drunk sooner than that.

Vee Barlett: He really enjoyed drunk Jericho.

Jericho: Shakes head vigorously before clamping his hands to his temples

Jericho: Oh god

Temperance: I think he enjoys Jericho regardless of whether or not he is drunk.

Vee Barlett: Weirdly true.

Jericho: Lots not go crazy

Jericho: grumbles

Jericho: I try to loosen up, but I'm not exactly a paragon of friendliness

Jericho: Give me some time

Jericho: I'm getting better

Jericho: ....eyes Vee

Jericho: Well

Jericho: Sort of...I hope

Ratbone Carder: smirks

Vee Barlett: Fine, but I'm only gonna say this one:

Vee Barlett: Next time ya offer to let someone punch you to heal them, I'm gonna be the one punching you, got it?

Jericho: Oh come on

Jericho: Whines

Jericho: If you need healing, I'd let you punch me

Jericho: Would you really rather DIE?

Vee Barlett: I'd rather ya not be offerin' to get hurt to heal someone. And I'm gonna punch the jackass who takes you up on that offer, too.

Jericho: As long as he's somewhat stable, I shall ignore any "roughing up" you do to them

BOB Wendy roll a d20 for me please

Temperance: [d20 = 15]

Jericho: And....I will not even complain when one of you probably takes his coin purse

Vee Barlett: I mean, that works, too, but if they say leave 'em alone, leave 'em alone.

Jericho: Sigh

Vee Barlett: Ya gotta notice it happenin' to think about complainin' about it, yeah?

Jericho: Uh....

Jericho: Don't ask me to think right now, but Yes?

Vee Barlett: grins

Jericho: Can we make exceptions for not in their right mind?

Jericho: Ignoring their wishes?

Vee Barlett: And now ya see why I also like makin' business deals with drunks.

Jericho: Pauses in Horror

Jericho: OH GOD

Vee Barlett: Mmm, maybe. But still don't get yerself hurt doin' it.

Jericho: Did I make a deal last night?

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Vee Barlett: Not with me. I ain't sure about the others.

Ratbone Carder: giggles

Jericho: SHRUG?

Jericho: Whirls on Ratbone

Jericho: What was it?

Jericho: I need to know!

Temperance: Last night was rather eventful. It was a bit hard to keep track.

Vee Barlett: You might wanna check with Raimund...

Jericho: I think I'm going to be sick again

Vee Barlett: And probably Levi. Again.

Ratbone Carder: Oh you are just funny that's all

Jericho: I need another drink

Jericho: Of water

Jericho: Quickly

Vee Barlett: Cheers!.... oh.

Jericho: water for sure

Jericho: for now

Jericho: Chugs flagon of water

Jericho: Trying to get the cotton taste out of his mouth

Vee Barlett: Quick question for ya Jericho.

Jericho: Holds up finger while he drinks deeply

Jericho: Stops

Jericho: Yes?

Jericho: Feeling a bit more steady

Vee Barlett: Would having a shot of rum make it easier or worse seein' my dads given you're scared of them?

Vee Barlett: grins

Jericho: I think drinking at all is a dangerous proposition for me, especially considering "deal making"

Jericho: In air quotes

Jericho: as you say

The time is 2:00 PM

Vee Barlett: Ah, less fun for me, but supposin' that might be... smarter. Maybe.

Jericho: You being somewhat nearby would definetely make me feel better

Jericho: Reluctantly admits

Jericho: Someone in my corner would be nice, no matter how much I like them

Vee Barlett: Ain't no reason for any of ya to see them if I weren't really.

Jericho: Eh, I like them. I mean, I prefer not to know about what they DO, but I like THEM. The two aren't mutually exclusive

Vee Barlett: laughs

Ratbone Carder: Aw okay, I am sorry

Vee Barlett: They are the best, but I might be biased.

Ratbone Carder: sympathy face

Vee Barlett: Hey Ratbone! Ya get to see any of that bard college while we hit shore?

Ratbone Carder: There's a bard college?!?! How did I not know that!

Levi Reed: Nah, man, hair of the dog. One drink will make you feel MUCH better. You just gotta stop after the one. Or commit and keep going all day

Vee Barlett: Ah, sorry. Cap'n kept you on ship? Your brother got the tour for ya.

Ratbone Carder: So the answer is no, I did not.

Ratbone Carder: Oh. Yeah, Okay I see

Ratbone Carder: He WOULD do that. Hog all the fun

Vee Barlett: laughs

Vee Barlett: There's the one in Osterhold, too, but I hear that's where the talentless but rich go.

Ratbone Carder: Pfftt

Ratbone Carder: Yeah I don't need to see THAT one

Vee Barlett: He did tell them a really bad story joke. Don't know if ya missed much. I'm sure we'll have reason to head to Mizzen again at some point.

Jericho: Talentless but rich....Don't you have to have SOME talent to be rich? Or just born rich but indulgin in a hobby do you think?

Vee Barlett: Rich and indulging in a hobby.

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: Gotcha

Jericho: must be nice

Jericho: Chuckles

Levi Reed: Yeah the two things are entirely unrelated

Vee Barlett: Maybe, but don't mean they're good at their hobby neither since they don't gotta be.

Temperance: I suppose when you have the means you can buy all the time in the world.

Jericho: Tries to follow the logic....

Vee Barlett: nods

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: Huh

Levi Reed: Time is the one thing you can't buy

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Artistic Ability [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 13]

Ratbone Carder: Oh but you can

Jericho: Oh, I don't know about that

Vee Barlett: Writin' more drunk poetry, Levi?

Ratbone Carder: If you are rich, you don't have to work. That's time you've bought

Levi Reed: I'm not drunk!

Vee Barlett: Oh, sorry. I can't tell sometimes.

Jericho: Actually I meant if you are willing to do some really sick shit, you can live for a very very long time

Jericho: Face Darkens

Vee Barlett: Eh, I think sometimes ya just gotta pray to a certain god, too. But I ain't devotin' myself to that.

Ratbone Carder: There is that as well

Levi Reed: I'm sad that I was too drunk to fully appreciate drunk Jericho. I'm slowing down until next time that kid gets drunk

Temperance: Hm. Living through your craft?

Jericho: Sighs in relief

Jericho: Okay

Vee Barlett: He says he can't wait to get drunk once we hit shore.

Jericho: So I didn't make deal with Levi?

Jericho: NO I DIDN"T!

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Jericho: Winces again

Temperance: If you did, apparently he does not recall.

Levi Reed: You might have

Levi Reed: winks

Vee Barlett: laughs

Jericho: can no one give me a straight answer around here? If a drunk tells another drunk a secret on the open seas, does anyone hear it?

Vee Barlett: Yeah. The fish and the sea.

Vee Barlett: And ya haven't asked Raimund, either. You mightta offered to clean all them chamberpots.

Levi Reed: Or you can choose to believe Temperance's idea

Jericho: Yeah...I'm choosing not to talk to Raimund for as long as possible.

Jericho: Sigh

Jericho: But that wouldn't be proper would it

Vee Barlett: It's fine. He'll talk to you.

Jericho: Sigh

Vee Barlett: Hard to escape talkin' to someone on a ship.

Temperance: Inebriation brings about quite a bit of cheer and ruckus

Jericho: Wish me luck I guess

Levi Reed: Hey, maybe you were nice to him. Some people get REALLY NICE when they're drunk

Levi Reed: Maybe he likes you now

Levi Reed: Yeah, what she said

BOB and Spring can please give me a d20 now

Ratbone Carder: [d20 = 4]

Jericho: Yeah, I've been trying to be nice for awhile

Levi Reed: points to temperance

Jericho: Ponders

Jericho: At least a little bit

Jericho: I'm working on it

Jericho: He's actually kind of nice

Jericho: And I was an asshole

Jericho: Makes sense

Vee Barlett: We can tell. That stick ain't quite so far up there.

Vee Barlett: winks

Jericho: Maybe soon it'll just be a twig eh?

Levi Reed: No but if he follows through on his drunk promises...

Levi Reed: winks again

Jericho: For gods sake

Jericho: Grumples

Vee Barlett: Hey, that's between the two of ya.

Vee Barlett: I walked away when ya started makin' deals.

Jericho: Well, good. That means neither of us remember deals

Jericho: Smiles

The time is 5:00 PM

BOB and anyone with alertness, observation, etc can make that check

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 12]

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 15]

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]

Vee Barlett: Until ya get drunk

Vee Barlett: Then yer drunk brain remembers for you.

Levi Reed: Oh I remember some things

Jericho: Oh, then i'm not sure I should ever.drink.again

Jericho: Chuckles despite himself

Vee Barlett: Yeah, but Levi definitely will be so he'll remember.

Levi Reed: I just don't think it will be nice for you if I talk about them in front of everyone like this

Jericho: .........

Jericho: I wonder if there is a consent law for when you make a deal drunk

Lemon (Levi Reed): I just saw a blank space?

Jericho: Mutters

Temperance: It would be interesting to see what an inebriated brain would remember. And how accurately.

NPC: Whale, Common

Vee Barlett: perks up

Vee Barlett : [Translation] Hello there! How's the eatin' goin?

Jericho: What what?

Jericho: Straightens

Jericho: What?

Jericho: Follows gaze

Jericho: Oh my

Whale, Common : [Translation] Looking for bigger fish

Whale, Common : [Translation] This looks crunchy

Vee Barlett : [Translation] Nah, it'll get ya constipated.

Whale, Common : [Translation] What is constipated?

Vee Barlett : [Translation] It means you get all stuffed up and it hurts.

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Sage Knowledge, Island Kingdoms [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 14]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Navigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 11]

Vee Barlett : [Translation] Hmm if you head.... hmmm....

Jericho: Is he hurt Vee?

Jericho: A little anxious

Vee Barlett: Nah, just lookin' for food. Anyone see some good schools of fish near here?

Vee Barlett: Or that we passed?

Jericho: Shakes head

Jericho: Sorry

Jericho: Was too drunk to notice

Ratbone Carder: shakes head

Levi Reed: Nah, but maybe we have extra fish we can toss over? Like we did for the dolphins?

Vee Barlett : [Translation] I know there was a school o' tuna that we passed back behind us. It was sstill dark, but they might be around.

Jericho: We're almost back, I think we could throw over something Vee?

Vee Barlett: Mind lookin'? He's contemplating eatin' the ship.

Jericho: Are you serious?

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Jericho: We'd taste awful

Levi Reed: checks the ship for fish

Jericho: But okay

Jericho: Checks for scraps of food

Ratbone Carder: Uhm cant be very nutritious, ships

Jericho: (Not rotten mind you)

Vee Barlett: I told 'em he'd get constipated, but ain't a good description for that in whale talk.

Jericho: [SKILL] Veterinary Healing [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 18]

Jericho: Fails to find vitaimin rich whale food

Levi Reed: finds a crate of fish

Vee Barlett : [Translation] We got some to help hold ya over if ya want?

Levi Reed: Well, it's more of a snack than a meal for a guy this big but here you go fellow

Levi Reed: dumps the open crate overboard

Vee Barlett : [Translation] Hey! Ya got a name?

Vee Barlett: attempts ranger befriending skills

Whale, Common : [Translation] ::Swallows it all whole::

Jericho: Oh, good. You found more then I did Levi

Jericho: Contemplates what a ship would taste like

Jericho: I mean

Jericho: The splinters alone

Jericho: I guess it's like Meat in a Can

Jericho: We're the meat, and the ship is the can

Jericho: I guess

Vee Barlett : [Translation] Danm y'all are such majestic things.

Ratbone Carder: meat in a box of toothpicks

Levi Reed: I don't imagine we taste quite as good as fish

Jericho: Points to Ratbone

Jericho: Exactly

Jericho: Must be awfull

Ratbone Carder: Hence the constipation

Jericho: I think I'm a bit more alert with that shot of panic from being Whale eaten

Jericho: Huh

Jericho: Good to know

Vee Barlett : [Translation] Well new friend, you can call me Vee. If ya ever need anything, look me up, yeah?

Whale, Common : [Translation] Looking for more fish

Vee Barlett: Got anymore fish, guys?

Levi Reed: I don't think so... any chance you can get your dolphins to take you swimming again?

Levi Reed: We didn't figure on needing more than one crate of fish for a day's journey

Levi Reed: We have some dried salted stuff if they want that...

Vee Barlett : [Translation] You'll have to find them in our wake back a few miles. But I'm sure there was plenty back there.

Temperance: Isn't it strange that the whale is asking the humans where the fish are?

Jericho: Probably because we fish a lot Temperance?

Jericho: Not sure though

Ratbone Carder: A little. I think the whale is having us on

Ratbone Carder: I think the whale truly wants to eat us but is toying with us

Whale, Common : [Translation] I will go search and come back if I do not find anything

Jericho: I mean...Really?

Jericho: That's not very nice

Jericho: But....

Vee Barlett : [Translation] If ya don't find any, I can help ya hunt, but I'm sure you'll find plenty.

Vee Barlett : [Translation] Ain't a hunter better than a whale!

BOB Disappears beneath the surface

Jericho: So....ramming us or are we free to go?

Vee Barlett: He's off to look for fish. If he returns, er, we might need to find more.

Jericho: ....maybe he can bother someone else?

Levi Reed: Anyone here any good at fishing?

Vee Barlett: Pretty sure all of them are takin' a nap right now.

Jericho: I'm good at healing and healing animals. That's all I got

Vee Barlett: Wait, ain't ya havin' the same spells like Ava, Jericho? You can do that find fish spell.

Jericho: Oh...well some gambling and breweing, but not useful right now I guess

Jericho: Hm

Jericho: Ponders Vee

Jericho: Let me think for a sec

Ratbone Carder: I can handle sheep but that's different

Vee Barlett: If we need, I mean. But them tuna should be back there.

Levi Reed: If it's a nap, we should wake them. If they're having digestions issues, I'd rather chance the whale

Vee Barlett: Well, "nap"

Vee Barlett: air quotes

Levi Reed: Ah, yeah, no thanks

Jericho: Oh Vee

Jericho: I uh. Am really sorry

Vee Barlett: You finally remembered what ya did while drunk??

Jericho: But I recall a way to locate animals and plants

Jericho: I'm really sorry

Jericho: Actually, I think that may be why I didn't remember right away

Jericho: Winces

Jericho: My bad

Vee Barlett: Oh, that. Yeah, it's fine. Don't need it now, but good to know you can do it.

Jericho: Sighs in relief

Vee Barlett: Oh, thought you were apologizin' for when you started to strip. But that works, too.

Jericho: .......

Jericho: Uh

Jericho: We shall never talk about this again

Jericho: Mostly because I can't handle it right now

Levi Reed: Ha, you couldn't handle it last night either!

Jericho: Besides, Melange or literally anyone else should be the stripper. I'm not a paragon of male physique for hells sake

Jericho: Seriously

Levi Reed: Got too embarrassed to continue

Jericho: Stop me before I get that drunk

Jericho: ....

Vee Barlett: laughs

Jericho: Well that's something I guess

Vee Barlett: I ain't promisin' nothin'

Jericho: Well, I'd say I'd never tell a soul for you, but I can't recall you ever really being that drunk or spouting off, so....kind of pointless

Jericho: You sure don't look like I feel right now after heavy drinking, so...

Jericho: Yeah

Vee Barlett: grins

Vee Barlett: I know my limits.

BOB and with that Michael you can roll a d20

Jericho: [d20 = 13]

Vee Barlett: AND MY SECOND MATE??

Levi Reed: Hey, you have me!

Jericho: Did we lose a few people Vee?

Jericho: I didn't get so drunk they went overboard did they?

Jericho: Maybe just tired I hope

Levi Reed: They are unfit for duty at this moment

Temperance: I was hoping to return a book I borrowed...

Vee Barlett: Y'all keep an eye out for that eagle!

Jericho: Well

Jericho: One moment, the second any of you see anything, I can cast Bless

Vee Barlett: Raimund! Yer crew learn his lesson with the albatross? Might help to have his bow ready in case.

Jericho: I can try to find the eagle, but it will be out of my range for detect animal

Jericho: I can...cast darkness for a twenty foot range? But in full daylight may not be as effective. Also we woudn't be able to see any rocks, so that's out I think

Temperance: Do eagles like fish?

Jericho: I mean....I'm sure they do

Jericho: If they like Human, probably like fish

Jericho: Maybe we could dump a load overboard when it sees us?

Levi Reed: opens the crate of salted fish and pulls it up on deck juuuuuust in case

BOB Ratbone and Levi manage to watch and spot an eagle heading towards the ship

BOB What do you want to do about that?

Ratbone Carder: oh hey look!

Jericho: Dammit!

Ratbone Carder: eagle, coming this way!

Jericho: Vee, should we spill the fish? Do you want me to bless us?

BOB Vee is busy

Ratbone Carder: points

Levi Reed: Both

Levi Reed: spills the fish

Vee Barlett: Did Raimund give Ault back his bow? He had a good eye.

Levi Reed: I would like to turn the crate on it's side so the fish starts spilling out, like right in the middle of whatever the flattest part of the surface of the ship is

Levi Reed: EVERYONE TAKE COVER!

Vee Barlett: can't take cover at the wheel but gets her tridents ready

Vee Barlett: Not sure what to tell ya, Rothuss. We all yelled eagle multiple times. Ya wear earplugs to nap?

Jericho: Shit happens Rothuss. Don't worry about it

Ratbone Carder: We were a little busy, Bubba

Jericho: I figured you were on the pot

Jericho: And with that, I'm hungover, and tapped out

Jericho: Sits heavily on bench, and grumbles as he picks up the oars

Levi Reed: I'm telling you, hair of the dog. Have a tiny drink

Jericho: Will it really work? Or are you just saying that

Ratbone Carder: It's true.

Vee Barlett: Has Levi ever lied to you?

Ratbone Carder: I don't know HOW it works, but it works

Jericho: ..........

Jericho: I'm not sure?

Levi Reed: See? Maybe you don't trust me, I get that, but RATBONE wouldn't lie to you

Vee Barlett: And Ratbone definitely doesn't make up stories.

Levi Reed: Probably

Jericho: Reaches over to the flask

Jericho: Swigs and gags despite himself. Forces another mouthful and passes it back

Jericho: Dear gods

Ratbone Carder: Oh I absolutely make up stories. but not about hangover cures

Ratbone Carder: that stuff is serious

Jericho: I definitely need to improve that flavor for you

Vee Barlett: laughs

Levi Reed: Ok, that's enough man, don't go crazy

Jericho: Well which is it?

Ratbone Carder: yeah you don't want to re-drunken

Jericho: Want to claim the eagle?

Levi Reed: You took two drinks, that should do it

Jericho: Not sure it's good for much but no idea about the feathers

Ratbone Carder: it's hair of the dog, not the whole dog

Vee Barlett: HEY! Temperance, can ya help clean up the eagle? Or toss it in a crate? These drunk louts ain't doin' their job.

Jericho: Sigh

Jericho: Right. Hair of dog not whole dog. I'll have to remember that

Ratbone Carder: getting a bucket of sea water to slosh the deck with

Levi Reed: Will it fit in that fish crate?

Rothuss Carder: strips off his shirt and plunks himself down on a bench for his turn with the oars.

Temperance: I may need a sizable crate for that.

Levi Reed: You can stuff it in there, we can find someone at the docks who can make use of this thing

Jericho: Holy crap. That IS a giant egale. I'm actually kind of impressed. Good shots with the crossbow btw

Jericho: Let's mount the head in our bar?

Jericho: Come on, it'll be so cool!

Jericho: Please VEE?

Rothuss Carder: Take some feathers. They'd make impressive trophies.

Levi Reed: Yikes, no thank you

Jericho: I don't ask for much

Levi Reed: Maybe a claw

Temperance: Would whales eat remains of an eagle?

Levi Reed: The head is too creepy

Vee Barlett: You know how much it'd cost to process it? You find a reasonable taxidermist and maybe.

Jericho: Sigh. Well, there's always next time

Vee Barlett: But I do like the thought of some feathers in my cap...

Jericho: Jumps up. Oars forgotten.

Jericho: Oh, that's brilliaint! I want some!

Vee Barlett: If a whale is hungry enough, probably. So if it comes back he can have it, maybe.

Levi Reed: You know Rocco will want the feathers, even if no one else does

Jericho: Shrugs

Jericho: Plenty to go around

Jericho: Smiles

Temperance: I thought it would be two birds with one stone, if it did.

Jericho: Snorts

Ratbone Carder: hahaha

Rothuss Carder: I got Animal Rending for knowing how to shear and process goats. Would it cover taking care of this carcass as well, since I use it slightly differently?

-> Rothuss Carder: Yes

Vee Barlett: Oh! Dad might, sure. But ain't lettin' you give him any.

Jericho: Might buy him some favor though Vee

Jericho: Contemplates

Levi Reed: I wouldn't dare

Jericho: He'd like it as a gift from you

Levi Reed: I was suggesting it for your consideration

Jericho: Show him you care

Rothuss Carder: Hold on a sec, lemme look at that bird a minute.

Vee Barlett: Nah, not my worry. My concern is him hittin' on my dads. AGAIN.

Jericho: No, I meant it would just be nice. I'm sure they might appreciate it as a token of your adventure....

Jericho: I sound stupid don't I

Rothuss Carder: drops down to his knees next to it and starts moving it around, looking at it from all angles.

Levi Reed: Yeah, especially a claw to mount

Vee Barlett: Save me a handful of them feathers, though.

Levi Reed: I'll give it to Jericho as a gift, if we can find a reasonable taxidermist

Vee Barlett: I'll take the other claw. As a gift

Ratbone Carder: I'll take a talon for a necklace

Jericho: You know, I'd bet one of these claws would make a hell of a scary ass dagger when filed down

Ratbone Carder: oh unless there aren't any more

Jericho: Like that merchant said

Vee Barlett: Ah fine, I suppose I can keep the feathers. Take yer necklace, club fiend.

Ratbone Carder: huge grin

Jericho: A story can sell a hell of a find

Rothuss Carder: Okay, so the bird in as many bad ass pieces as I can manage.

Jericho: If we turn it into a dagger, who knows what stories we could sell it with

Rothuss Carder: But not a whole bird.

Vee Barlett: Yes.

Temperance: There's the beak too. It looks rather large, if anyone wants that.

Jericho: Contemplates

Vee Barlett: Hmm, a beak could work

Rothuss Carder: Right-o, Cap'n.

Rothuss Carder: calls over two seamen who aren't immediately busy and has them bring over a tarp and roll the corpse onto it, and the three of them lug the bird over to an open area on the deck of the ship.

Pilon: Violence is what I call her

Vee Barlett: grins

Vee Barlett: Well Pa doesn't care if I smell. Maybe I'll talk to him first. Is Dad coming back tomorrow or out of town for awhile?

Pilon: Not sure he left up river yesterday, checking on some orchards

Vee Barlett: sighs dramatically

Pilon: I would guess at least 4 or 5 days

Levi Reed: Uh huh. Orchards.

Vee Barlett: I was really hoping he'd give the priest a makeover, but I suppose we'll figure out something else.

Pilon: Why do you want to work him over?

Rothuss Carder: is playing around behind the group, holding an eagle claw in each hand and clawing at the air in front of him.

Vee Barlett: To hide that stick better.

Pilon: I can get some guys for that

Vee Barlett: laughs

Vee Barlett: Not sure he needs that work over... probably.... maybe? Hmm....

Levi Reed: Hey, if anybody but Rocco is going to work this guy over, it's going to be me

Levi Reed: winks at Jericho

Jericho: Well, instead of beating me senseless, I may need a reasonable disguise if you know how that works.

Jericho: I'm afraid I'm not much good at that sort of thing

Jericho: Smiles

Jericho: More like, I need to be very inconspicuous for a trip to the Cathedral

Pilon: Stands up and unlocks the front door

Pilon: Is anyone chasing you?

Levi Reed: Not yet

Vee Barlett: I don't believe so, but I wasn't the only one chasing what I got.

Jericho: Points to Vee

Jericho: And that

Pilon: It was a joke

Vee Barlett: And the priest has some trouble with the Cathedral, but that ain't me.

Pilon: Of course people are chasing you

Jericho: Rolls eyes

Pilon: You are Vee

Vee Barlett: laughs

Vee Barlett: Yeah, but I meant in the immediate. As in, can catch me soon.

Vee Barlett: Not in general.

Jericho: Let's not say trouble, more like temporarily escalated conflicts

Lirtimya: Chuckles

Vee Barlett: Whatever. You're here for a reason, yeah?

Levi Reed: Temporarily escalated conflicts, throat displacement, tomato tomahto

Vee Barlett: I need to go find Pa.

Jericho: Smiles. Yes, but it sound so much better right Levi?

Pilon: Might want to wait until morning

Levi Reed: If you're trying to be fancy, sure

Vee Barlett: Fine fine. You can just tell me I smell and should focus on a bath first.

Levi Reed: I like to call a pig a pig

Jericho: Well.....depends on if you are actually talking to a pig Levi

Vee Barlett: Come on, y'all. I ain't the only one needing to clean up and sleep.

Jericho: I need to check Levi's shoulder

Levi Reed: Who said anything about a RELATIONSHIP

Jericho: Then....still no

Jericho: But buy you a drink later

Jericho: For the kind offer

Jericho: Smiles

Jericho: Trips and falls after stumbling over his shirt still discarded on the floor

Jericho: Sighs

Jericho: SERIOUSLY?

Jericho: This needs to be burned

Levi Reed: Nah, this one is just for looking, not for eating

Levi Reed: Unless that's what the cook did with the pig, I don't know

Jericho: Snickers slightly

Jericho: Looking at Rothuss

Rosa Shieldgem: blushes, No I never heard of her

MeLange: looks at Jericho

Jericho: Squints

Levi Reed: Rothuss... doesn't she look familiar?

Vee Barlett: slaps hands hard on the table and stands up

Rothuss Carder: looks up.

Rothuss Carder: Hmmm?

Vee Barlett: Well this is fun and awkward.

Vee Barlett: You all have fun.

MeLange: thanks, you can have the awkward

Vee Barlett: leaves out the door and yells as loud as possible, "PA!!!!"

Rosa Shieldgem: I swear I have not ever laid eyes on him

Lirtimya: Just watching I guess?

Levi Reed: Not that familiar... just like... family resemblance kind of familiar...

Rothuss Carder: Did I miss something?

Rothuss Carder: yawns

MeLange: What's up with Vee?

Jericho: She is...dealing with her dad

Jericho: Just go with it

MeLange: Ah daddy issues, I hear that's a thing

Jericho: Well.....I know Rothuss might see Adelaine soon

Jericho: You said you wanted breakfast?

Jericho: Turns to Rosa

Rosa Shieldgem: That is nice I suppose

Rothuss Carder: Hey, yeah, I should look her up while we're here. Why are you talking about Adelaide?

Rothuss Carder: takes a bite of whatever food he found

Jericho: You can ask if she knows Rosa

Jericho: Shrugs

Rothuss Carder: Who's Rosa?

Jericho: Puts together a small plate of food

Levi Reed: I just thought Rosa looked a little like her

Levi Reed: Just in the jaw there

MeLange: sits and prepares himself for breakfast

Jericho: Points to Rosa

Levi Reed: And the nose a bit

Rosa Shieldgem: I really do not understand

Jericho: Here you are

Jericho: Hands her food

MeLange: points

MeLange: that lady

Rosa Shieldgem: I think I should go get dressed

Rothuss Carder: notices Rosa for the first time and jumps slightly in startlement.

Rothuss Carder: Oh! Morning!

MeLange: Don't feel you need to get dressed on my behalf Rosa, I'm all for casual breakfast

Lirtimya: Just now noticing Rothuss?

Jericho: Rosa, if your...ah....change of clothes is in the room you came from, I'd wait until the family calms down a bit yeah?

Rothuss Carder: Oh, no need to go because of us

MeLange: I'm sure there's enough food for everyone

Jericho: Hands plate over again

Rosa Shieldgem: Take the plate and sits in a chair with the sheet wrapped around her and tucked in

Rothuss Carder: finally catches up with the conversation

Rothuss Carder: Shieldgem?

Rosa Shieldgem: Yes

Jericho: She says she doesn't know Adaliene though Rothuss

MeLange: So Rosa, not that I'm complaining, but is there a story behind your choice of wardrobe?

Jericho: You can ask when you see her though. Maybe she knows a distant relative?

Jericho: Half the people on this continent seem to be related in some way or other after all

Rothuss Carder: Nice. I know a Shieldgem. Maybe a cousin? Big family?

Rosa Shieldgem: I was in bed with Troy and I smelled breakfast so I came over to get some

MeLange: takes a bite of his food

Levi Reed: What was it like?

Jericho: Chokes on Coffee

Jericho: Levi?

Jericho: Scandalized

Rosa Shieldgem: You mean Troy?

Jericho: You don't just ask people that!

Lirtimya: Just eating and wathing everything unfold, not anything to add to the conversation really

MeLange: hmm good story!

MeLange: takes another bite of food

Levi Reed: I don't need specifics man

Jericho: Not that I'm a prude or anything

MeLange: Where's Troy?

Levi Reed: Just wondering if my long-harbored crush should continue or not

Rosa Shieldgem: You have a crush on Troy?

Levi Reed: Who doesn't?

MeLange: takes a bite and eyes Levi

Jericho: Who doesn't

Jericho: Mutters

Rosa Shieldgem: How long have you known him?

Levi Reed: Ehhh, five years or so?

Levi Reed: I mean, I don't know him well

Rothuss Carder: tucks into his food while the conversation isn't centered on him.

Rosa Shieldgem: And you never had the courage to make a move?

MeLange: Looks at Levi

Levi Reed: I'm a bit young for him.... and also I think Vee would ACTUALLY kill me

Rosa Shieldgem: Or are you one of those that likes to be chased?

Jericho: I'd keep you from dying

Levi Reed: I'll keep that in mind if the opportunity arises in the future, Jericho. Thanks buddy.

Jericho: Shrugs

Jericho: I'd do the same for Vee, and half the time I wanna strangle her

Levi Reed: So anyway, Rosa. This crush. Worth it, or move on?

Rosa Shieldgem: Do you have a crush on him? looking at Jericho and pointing to Levi

Jericho: Not really

MeLange: Weird thing to just say out of nowhere Jericho

Jericho: No offense buddy

Levi Reed: Not YET

Rosa Shieldgem: Oh Troy is DEFINITELY worth it

Levi Reed: Hmm

MeLange: Hey I'm sure Levi is worth it too, he ain't no slouch

Levi Reed: Well, who knows, maybe Vee will die an untimely young death by throat displacement or something

Jericho: Throat Seizure would be my term

Levi Reed: Throat displacement IS your term, Jericho

Levi Reed: How do you keep forgetting this?

Rosa Shieldgem: Oh you like to be choaked?

Levi Reed: Not sure, haven't tried that one yet

MeLange: She sets em up n you just miss em don't ya Levi

Jericho: No no. You see throat displacement is untimely ripped out of your body. Throat seizer is I seize your throat and sqeeze until you stop moving. There is a difference

MeLange: This conversation just got very weird

Jericho: Melange, you got Throat Seizer when you got freaky with the snake woman. We ARE awkward

Levi Reed: The conversation is always weird

Rothuss Carder: I swear you folks have got the herders back home beat into the ground.

Lirtimya: I'm going to have to start pretending not to know you all in public at this point

Lirtimya: Says that in a joking manner

Rothuss Carder: Don't worry Lirt, we'll be sure to make sure everyone knows you're with us.

Jericho: Oh Lirtimya, you know you love us....well....even me a little

Rothuss Carder: trying to engage Rosa in casual conversation to determine if she's related to Adelaide, and if so how. (no need to do IC)

Jericho: Jericho being as sensitive as he can to the almost naked woman, giving her water refills as she wants it

BOB As the group continues to banter

BOB Vee has any move silently? sneaking into rooms?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Yeah because she's definitely trying to sneak over there as she yells as loudly as she can and stomps her way over like a child throwing a tantrum (which she is)

BOB So Vee stomps and throws the bedroom door open

Vee Barlett: PA! I NEED A WORD WITH YOU. NOW.

Troy Barlett: WHAT THE

Troy Barlett: OH

Troy Barlett: puts away the dagger

Troy Barlett: Hello sweetie

Troy Barlett: When did you get back in town?

Troy Barlett: I thought you were chasing off across the waves?

Vee Barlett: Last night. And can you PLEASE finish putting your damn clothes on?!

Vee Barlett: I came to make a business deal with you BUT YOU were BUSY... UGH PA.

Vee Barlett: You know how I feel about that!

Troy Barlett: Have you seen Rosa?

Vee Barlett: She's eatin' breakfast.

Troy Barlett: Oh good

Vee Barlett: In a fuckin' sheet.

Troy Barlett: Too bad

Troy Barlett: At least the chair stays clean I suppose

Vee Barlett: pinches the bridge of her nose again

Vee Barlett: Gods you are all that bad.

Troy Barlett: No one is all bad

Troy Barlett: Pilon for instance

Vee Barlett: I don't mean. Ugh, Pa. I mean at least when I have to seduce someone it makes sense! What the hell does Rosa even have to offer?

Vee Barlett: No.

Vee Barlett: No, I don't want that answer.

Troy Barlett: Have you seen Rosa?

Vee Barlett: SHE'S IN THE DAMN BREAKFAST ROOM PA.

Troy Barlett: Winks at Vee

Vee Barlett: tosses her hands up and ROLLS HER EYES

Vee Barlett: then sighs

Troy Barlett: You do know that it does not have to mean something

Troy Barlett: It is so much better when it does

Vee Barlett: I hope it still does with Rocco.

Vee Barlett: Fine. You know I love you. And I GUESS sometimes I can look past things, but don't make me think too hard about it, or I'm gonna get mad again.

Troy Barlett: Have you ever not been mad at me?

Vee Barlett: .....

Troy Barlett: tosses a pillow at Vee

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Dexterity [+3] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20-3 = 11]

Vee Barlett: barely catches it and maybe smiles slightly

Vee Barlett: I mean, it ain't hard to get mad at you. Or maybe it ain't hard for me to get mad.

Vee Barlett: sighs again

Troy Barlett: I think that is true

Vee Barlett: Pa. I got a business proposition for you. Er, and maybe I might kinda need a little help. Maybe.

Troy Barlett: What did you get yourself into this time?

Troy Barlett: I thought you were just going to chase after Ruffus

Vee Barlett: Well I mighta accidentally seduced Ruffus, but that's a later problem.

Troy Barlett: Accidentally?

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Vee Barlett: Look, he took the bait harder than I expected.

Vee Barlett: I call that an accident.

Vee Barlett: It was worth it. Maybe. If you can help me.

Troy Barlett: He might be worth it, I am not sure

Vee Barlett: I ain't sure either. I ain't sure if he knows who I am or not, too. A bit of confusion.

Troy Barlett: If you need protection from him I can help

Troy Barlett: if you did go too far and you do not want it to be..... we can handle that too

Troy Barlett: I can get a favor for you

Vee Barlett: smiles

Vee Barlett: Love ya, too, Pa. I let you know if he becomes a problem.

Vee Barlett: BUT I am 99% sure I got a tax stamp for the Temple. Problem is it's too hot and I got a time limit if I'm gonna replicate it.

Troy Barlett: Looks at Vee carefully, a Tax Stamp from the church

Vee Barlett: Temple of Orange Sunsets. It was in some vintage rum Ruffus stole. Bet someone I know might be interested in that, yeah?

Troy Barlett: Who knows it is missing?

Vee Barlett: See that's the problem.

Vee Barlett: Temple does. They sent me after it for... reasons? Then the priest told the Cathedral and they death geased him to return it. Then I think they told the weird chuch in Mizzen, too.

Troy Barlett: Who is they?

Vee Barlett: So Temple wants me to bring it back. But, ya know... if we can find a way to duplicate it?

Vee Barlett: Umm, what's their name.... Hilde and Michel?

Vee Barlett: Oh, and I got 50 year old rum if yer interested, too. They only sorta want that back. It ain't as hot.

Troy Barlett: Absolutely not, if they know it is missing, there is nothing to do except use it a few times and then turn it back in

Vee Barlett: frowns

Vee Barlett: So I went through all that nonsense for no profit?

Troy Barlett: If they did not know it was missing, it is worth a castle

Troy Barlett: If they know you have it? You won't live long enough to enjoy it

Vee Barlett: Damn. I thought I might be in over my head.

Vee Barlett: I mean, I'll give it back to the Temple, goodwill and all that nonsense, I guess.

Vee Barlett: Just tryin' to see if I can find any profit from any of this.

Troy Barlett: What is the part about the Cathedral?

Troy Barlett: If the Stamp belongs to the Temple of Orange Sunsets, then

Vee Barlett: Jericho told them 'cause he's ignorant and thought they would help?

Troy Barlett: Ahhh

Vee Barlett: And they said to bring it back to the Cathedral or he dies? You can ask him.

Vee Barlett: I don't know the full wordin' but he doesn't think he has to hand it over.

Vee Barlett: He was hopin' to ask Rocco for a makeover, but I guess that's out.

Troy Barlett: So they just sent you off after things willy nilly with no warnings

Vee Barlett: 'Course they did

Vee Barlett: I mean, I ain't surprised. Are you?

Troy Barlett: They did not warn you about anything?

Vee Barlett: Nah. They thought Ruffus would just bring it to Osterhold and get drunk since it's in a bottle of rum. They don't even know if he knew it was in there.

Vee Barlett: Only luck we caught him on the east side of Mizzen before whatever he planned to do.

Vee Barlett: This crew ain't ready for Siren's yet

Troy Barlett: My guess is the Temple thought you could seduce DeOrange

Vee Barlett: Why do people keep thinkin' that?

Troy Barlett: If they just sent you chasing after him

Vee Barlett: nods

Troy Barlett: What other reason would you be picked?

Vee Barlett: They claimed all their people were busy. We helped with some goblins earlier, and I guess they found me and the other priestess trustworthy?

Vee Barlett: Their chosen priestess. Think she headed back that way already.

Troy Barlett: So she is heading back to tell them you got the stamp back for them

Vee Barlett: Not sure if she is, but that'd make sense...

Troy Barlett: Again no way to do anything with this

Troy Barlett: If they had given you some cover story

Vee Barlett: She just... up and left.

Vee Barlett: And no way to duplicate it? Although guess they'd trace it eventually...

Vee Barlett: sighs again

Troy Barlett: No falling out with her? Did you do something with her?

Vee Barlett: No, she was pretty cool.

Troy Barlett: You cannot duplicate a Tax Stamp

Troy Barlett: You can steal it and use it

Vee Barlett: Darn.

Vee Barlett: Well they don't want the rum back. Just the stamp. Want any rum? What a disappointment.

Troy Barlett: I wonder why they sent you

Vee Barlett: I thought I got somethin' good.

Troy Barlett: You did

Troy Barlett: You caught a tiger by the tail

Vee Barlett: I did?

Vee Barlett: And I dunno, but if they be trustin' me, then I gotta take advantage of that, yeah?

Troy Barlett: You can use it for sure

Troy Barlett: How old of a rum?

Vee Barlett: 50 years. I got two bottles of 5 years, too.

Troy Barlett: and why would they sneak it in there?

Vee Barlett: I ain't figured that out yet. Or why it's sealed. I was told it wouldn't be.

Troy Barlett: Who said it would not be sealed?

Vee Barlett: The priestess. Hilde.

Vee Barlett: Told me I could tell which bottle by a loose cap, but it's sealed. But it also rattles and Lirt did magic to detect priestly magic in the bottle.

Vee Barlett: But, I mean, even if I open it, I can blame Ruffus, yeah?

Troy Barlett: Sure you can

Vee Barlett: So as I was sayin', I got rum if yer interested.

Vee Barlett: grins

Troy Barlett: I am trying to think through why it would be in a bottle that is sealed from 50 years ago

Vee Barlett: If ya got insight, I'd like to hear it, Pa.

Troy Barlett: Maybe that is the trap? To test you

Vee Barlett: Ugh, is that all them church types do? Testin' people?

Troy Barlett: Why put a tax stamp in a bottle

Troy Barlett: If you say the bottle is sealed? so it has been like that for 50 years?

Vee Barlett: I'm guessing unless you can reseal it?

Troy Barlett: Maybe a talented counterfiter

Troy Barlett: But why do that with 50 year old rum

Vee Barlett: Story they told me is Ruffus stole two bottles of old rum from their party with help from Hugo. And somehow the temple knew one of those bottles had a tax stamp in it.

Vee Barlett: It was only in a locked cabinet. Why would they even know the stamp was there after it was stolen?

Troy Barlett: Who in the Temple was there that long ago?

Troy Barlett: Or maybe a secret passed down

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Vee Barlett: I ain't been in Achild long enough to know that stuff yet.

Troy Barlett: You did manage to get tangled up in this deep, didn't you sweetheart

Vee Barlett: See why I wanted to try to save this somehow??

Vee Barlett: Ugh.

Vee Barlett: They better give me a good reward at least.

Troy Barlett: How devious do you want to be

Vee Barlett: grins

Vee Barlett: I'm listenin'

Troy Barlett: Take it back to the Temple, tell them you failed

Troy Barlett: then give it to them in secret so no one knows it was returned

Troy Barlett: Whoever sent you on your quest

Vee Barlett: Hmmm.... interestin' thought....

Troy Barlett: That way they will owe you a big favor for returning it

Troy Barlett: and if you ever need to hold something over their head, you have leverage

Troy Barlett: For them holding the stolen goods

Vee Barlett: Now that I like.

Vee Barlett: I like the way you think, Pa.

Vee Barlett: Well, mostly.

Vee Barlett: Still ain't sure about your pastimes, but that's on you.

Troy Barlett: Have you seen Rosa

Vee Barlett: throws the pillow back at hiim

bats it away

Vee Barlett: smiles

Vee Barlett: Fine, fine. You get back to your... meeting. Er, once we leave. BUT I still got some 5 year old rum if yer interested. Just sayin'.

Troy Barlett: Thank you for the gift sweetie

Troy Barlett: Let me know if you need anything else

Vee Barlett: takes out the bottle she has of 5 year rum and sets it on the nightstand

Vee Barlett: Always will!

Troy Barlett: For the next time you come home

Vee Barlett: Oh, want any giant eagle feathes?

Troy Barlett: Not my style, you could ask Rocco the next time you see him

Troy Barlett: Or if you sell them in town tell him where to buy them

Vee Barlett: Good thinkin'

Vee Barlett: Oh, did he leave me a shoppin' list? I left so quick earlier I forgot to get it.

Troy Barlett: Not that I saw

Vee Barlett: Well I tried.

Vee Barlett: You don't got a list? I'll get outta your hair if not.

Troy Barlett: You can go send Rosa back in

Vee Barlett: rolls eyes

Troy Barlett: Throws a pillow at her

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 13]

Vee Barlett: catches it, grins, hands it back, kisses his cheek, and leaves.

Troy Barlett: warm chukles

Vee Barlett: then yells, "ROSA! YOU CAN GO BACK. I WON'T SHANK YOU. THIS TIME!"

Rosa Shieldgem: Sorry everyone, I am wanted again

MeLange: take care Rosa!

Rosa Shieldgem: It was good talking with you Rothuss, keep practicing that trick

Rosa Shieldgem: it almost worked last time

Rothuss Carder: Give my regards to Adelaide if you see her before me.

Vee Barlett: gives Rosa a rude gesture then ignores her.

Rosa Shieldgem: I will

Vee Barlett: relays what information she needs to the group on a need to know basis

BOB and with that we are at a slight impass as you need Jericho for the Cathedral
