LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): yes, it will definitely help with the moneys

GM: grins

'Master TMO' connected

GM: Hello TMO

GM: only missing Spring now

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Spring is not coming

GM: sad

GM: but expected

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): What did you do to Spring, Lemon?

seyfert: Hi TMO!

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): WHAT. DID. YOU. DO?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): They only got 3 hours of sleep last night so they are getting a nap in before work

GM: Just saw that

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Ah, gotcha

Jericho: lol. but understandable

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It wasn't me! At least, I don't THINK I was Spring's roommate

GM: grins

Levi Reed: I've been wrong before

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ooc but works for both lol

Master TMO: AHH! New background and theme!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh no, not Springity Thingity

GM: So just to make sure that everyone understands the gravity of the new Story Arc - the name is.........

GM: Student Loans

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Interesting

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Oh great, well, we won't be out of this arc for another couple decades

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But Temperance is teaching me Botany for free so

GM: LOL JTom

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol mini

GM: That is the quote of the night

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Pass. I didn't spend 4 years of nursing school doing... stuff in order to deal with student loans anyway

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Right? If I wanted student loans I wouldn't have dropped out of college

GM: so we are going to make sure that we have everyone's options ready for training

mharmon1 (Jericho): it's okay. u can totally graduate debt free if you do what I did! Sacrifice a literal decade working two full time jobs, only to have lung and back problems from a dirty industry. u got this bro

GM: then we will walk through who will owe what to whom to do the training

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I'm good

mharmon1 (Jericho): lol

GM: We do have lots of interweaving threads to work through

GM: which I hope to accomplish tonight

Master TMO: I've only got magic and thief skills to learn. No NWP/WP yet

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Gotta load up spotify so my next year's "wrapped" doesn't include an artist I've never heard of in my top 5

Master TMO: *only* ...

GM: Some of it will be "easy" and some will be harder to decide

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Let's see, two spells and a NWP for me

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Idk how much debt that'll put me in

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I'll have a #9, extra onions

Shislif: back!

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Oh good choice, can I change my order? I'd like to add onions too

seyfert: can i upgrade to a large fry?

wyjyoon (Temperance): What discussion did I come back to

GM: I can lay out two specific things - Lirt is training in 2nd level spells and that will take 6 weeks and cost 800 GP (or in trade type of things)

GM: and also for Jericho - It will take 2 weeks to learn 2nd level spells, but there is zero cost, but there will be a favor required

mharmon1 (Jericho): understood

mharmon1 (Jericho): I had idea on NWP if you are ok. I can't imagine it costing it too much

GM: 100%

GM: just layout out potential things

mharmon1 (Jericho): gotcha. but thank you on spells

Lirtimya: How much do NWPs cost?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I also had an idea on an NWP. I have dancing as a skill, but would like to train in breakdancing, with an ultimate goal of gaining breakdance fighting

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): OOC

mharmon1 (Jericho): depends

mharmon1 (Jericho): can be money or favors

mharmon1 (Jericho): or free if another character has the nwp

mharmon1 (Jericho): PC

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): The only NWP I have down here on my list to get is information gathering

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I have no idea if anyone has that

GM: Cost is totally dependent on the types

Shislif: any input on either endurance, animal handling, or alertness for Mel? What would work best for the team?

mharmon1 (Jericho): what aspirations do u have for mel?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Alertness is a goldmine at times

Shislif: Well Mel is still figuring himself out, so aspirations are tough

mharmon1 (Jericho): Nothing wrong with animal handling of course

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It doesn't matter, but Levi does have alertness. It always helps to have more than one, though.

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): endurance will help in your personal relations

mharmon1 (Jericho): I can say I've used Alertness hundreds of times, but not often the other two.

mharmon1 (Jericho): LOL

GM: Also if someone has a skill and wants to teach it to someone in the group you can go by the wisdom of the person teaching

mharmon1 (Jericho): I have a very high wisdom, and can teach the following to help if u need: brewing, diagnostics, gaming, healing, herbalism, reading/writing, swimming, vet healing

mharmon1 (Jericho): I am going for Admin as my next nwp

mharmon1 (Jericho): so can teach that after I learn if you wait

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Is Information Gathering any good as a NWP?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): If I had an NWP to learn, it would priobably be Navigation since we are ship-based

mharmon1 (Jericho): You do what you WANT to do. IG is a good skill in my opinion, just not one I used very often as a fighter

mharmon1 (Jericho): The goal is fun. th's about it man :)

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I can teach navigation to whoever is interested, I've got a 14 wisdom

Master TMO: Rothuss your Etiquette teacher is standing by!

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I think I'll go with Information Gathering as my NWP then

mharmon1 (Jericho): also for thos not in the know, i am typing on a text typer for now. should have better rig nxt week

Jericho: I have fat thumbs

mharmon1 (Jericho): I have fat thumbs

mharmon1 (Jericho): so bad grammar

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Okay, I've got three spells here to choose from, I can't decide between them for my second spell, Summon Swarm, Fireproof, or Levitate?

GM: You do get one new spell automatically JTom so you can pick that one then you can spend time to learn a second 2nd level spell or a 1st level spell if you like

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): about as perfect a definition of 'Offensive', 'Defensive', 'Utility'

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Well I'll auto learn Melf's Acid Arrow, so we probably don't need Summon Swarm now then, so, fireproof maybe for the second, since we have strong people levitate isn't needed

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): How does tha tsound?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): sound good!

seyfert: levitate can be fun tho....

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): But we're also spending most of our time ona wooden ship

seyfert: only so far, and it might help someone drowning... maybe....but it can be alater spell, too

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): If you burned down our ship and marooned us to spend the next ten years on an island, that would be hilarious

mharmon1 (Jericho): id laugh

wyjyoon (Temperance): Marooned with student loans

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): We find a volley ball while we're out there

GM: laughs

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I guess, what would be the raplacemnt in this time?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): WIIIILSON!!!!

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): *pulls out a copy of Lord of the Flies as a refresher*

GM: chuckles

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): What was that, Piggy TMO?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh lord, that book was a doozy

GM: Lemon, for the skills you want to learn is there anyone to teach you?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I've modeled my life off of that book

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): yep, Temperance

mharmon1 (Jericho): hating kids? cus I already hated tehm when i read it lol

GM: Which skill?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): No, hating the British

mharmon1 (Jericho): What's the difference?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): botany

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): That is indeed the difference between kids and the British, Lemon

mharmon1 (Jericho): heh

GM: So right now we are 6 weeks out for Lirt to learn 2nd level spells, in that same time frame Levi would learn Botany and Jerico would learn 2nd level spells

GM: We have Matty, Melange, Vee, to still get some ideas about

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): My understanding is that I get thief skills for my level ups

GM: 2 levels of thief skills for Matty

Lirtimya: I'm assuming I would also get my NWP at the end of the six weeks?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I was thinking Move Silently and Hiden in Shadows

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): OOC

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Hiden in Shadows, rather

GM: if he trains himself then it would be his wisdom

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I pressed Alt

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Dangit. HIDE in Shadows

GM: and NOT to JTom 6 weeks just to learn 2nd level spells

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Okay

Rothuss Carder: we're only capable of learning one thing at a time. ;)

GM: This is why we are walking through this step by step

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Can I train Move Silently by walking to Vee's bed in the middle of the night and screaming in her ear?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): You mean I can't just take the college rout and not sleep to learn everything at once TMO?

GM: so we can bring everyone into sync

GM: LOL JTom

seyfert: lol ryan

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I have move silently and hide in shadows so maybe I can train that?

seyfert: that's how you get stabbed

GM: So 9 weeks to train per level for Matty

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): dude - you're having enough trouble just learning high school stuff. :P

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): So, no go? Since we only have 6 weeks?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I don't know what you mean about that, I am doing very well

GM: We do not know how long we are clicking off yet

seyfert: Vee has two skills to learn so I'm sure we'll be training more than 6 weeks

GM: It will partially depend on payment also

GM: for example the Temple of Orange Sunsets will train Jericho for "free" to get 2nd level spells, but then send him out on a quest as part of the payment

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Matty will pay Vee in seashells from down by the seashore

GM: For Lirt his trainer is willing to train first but then will want a repayment of something

GM: for Vee? maybe a training but maybe go find a thing bring it back then I will train you

GM: so we are laying out the many paths then the group decides

GM: Other then the group training each other or Lirt and Jericho it is all up in the air

Rothuss Carder: For Roth, I think I'll have him teach himself his own thief skills. 10 each is fine by me. Magic will probably have to be at a college, unless a PC wizard can teach him

mharmon1 (Jericho): Just a reminder in case, Jericho is taking on a lot of "support utilties" as that is his job since the get go. If you want to take that NWP that will help you in your more magic, or combat orientated role, that was part of the point of creating jericho

GM: For Rothuss yes Lirt can train him in magic

GM: 5 weeks for that training

GM: After his is trained

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, sweet. that makes life SO much easier

mharmon1 (Jericho): and cheaper:)

GM: So 6 weeks for Lirt to train, then Roth learns from Lirt over the next 5 weeks

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): do we have to be stationary during all that?

seyfert: wait wait

seyfert: Vee asked Lirt to trian her first :(

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm not jumping the line

seyfert: lol

seyfert: unless the Temple will for a quest or whateer

mharmon1 (Jericho): jus extra time. no big

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): It is okay, TMO. I saved a space for you at the front

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Ignore the screaming mafia princess right behind us

GM: grins

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We have earned some relaxation!

seyfert: lol

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): is it safe to ignore screaming mafia princesses?

wyjyoon (Temperance): She might try to shank you

seyfert: she will

seyfert: better bled clean or she'll be mad

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): We'll hear her coming. It is fine.

wyjyoon (Temperance): How does one "bleed clean"?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): You bleed them out and then sanitize the stab wounds

seyfert: ok so since I don't know where we are in planning because gross, Vee is still wainting Weather Sense and Shipwright. From Lirt, Jia, or bribe Levi's family are my ideas

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): With Vee, it might take a while because she be stab-happy

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ah, understandable

wyjyoon (Temperance): Shanking sounds like her specialty

User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)

mharmon1 (Jericho): Is there a NWP for "Shanking?"

Rothuss Carder: it involves using a weapon

seyfert: ...is there??

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): it involves using a weapon

mharmon1 (Jericho): Is there a weapon speciality called "Shanking?"

mharmon1 (Jericho): semantics

GM: Where we are right now: Jericho takes 2 weeks to learn 2nd level spells from the Temple, Levi takes 3 weeks to learn Botany from Temperance, and Lirt takes 6 weeks to learn 2nd level spells from his mentor

mharmon1 (Jericho): Don't you come back and say small blades bob

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Is shanking a specific weapon?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Because shiv could definitely be "weaponsmithing, crude"

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Not sure about shank though

seyfert: lol

GM: Broard Group Blades will give you dozens of options in shanking

mharmon1 (Jericho): lol

mharmon1 (Jericho): I knew bob would take shanking and give it a proper term

mharmon1 (Jericho): hehe

wyjyoon (Temperance): Mafia Princess has choices

mharmon1 (Jericho): NWP Assassination with Crude Weapons

GM: So to sum up Jerico will be done in two weeks and could learn new things or train others over the four weeks to catch up to Lirt

mharmon1 (Jericho): Right. He is intending on Admin if anyone wants that

GM: Levi the same but three weeks

GM: Michael do you mean Teaching Admin? or Learning Admin?

seyfert: (must rethink if I want broad group blade.s....)

mharmon1 (Jericho): I have to learn it first. Then teach it. IF theu are willing to wait

GM: So you need to find someone to teach you Admin

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oooh, once I get NWPs, I would probably want to learn that as Vee's Quartermaster

seyfert: one of the priestly types probs

GM: and that is a no currently, because you already owe one favor to the Temple for the training in 2nd level spells

seyfert: she can give you a firsthand demo!

mharmon1 (Jericho): Ah, I see

mharmon1 (Jericho): makes sense

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): test

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): ....of administration? Or are we still talking about shanking?

mharmon1 (Jericho): then yeah, gotta find that. maybe someone in town but if not, gotta wait awhile

GM: also again why this is called Student Loans

GM: and yes there will be interest

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): ok, it's just my browser, not my whole internet, that froze

mharmon1 (Jericho): How much would admin cost bob?

mharmon1 (Jericho): Just rough guess

GM: average is 700 GP to train in you 7 weeks

GM: How much is in the group gold?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Too bad Jericho kept giving his money to Vee :P

mharmon1 (Jericho): Not enough lol. AndI don' t regret it at all :)

mharmon1 (Jericho): I have 63 for a critical skill if someone needs it. Admin is not a critical skill. I would appreciate help later though to help you with your skill now

GM: grins and also why to have a party pack treasury for future trainings

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Bob - by stacking up the queue on Lirt, are we committing to the whole group sitting still in one place for 6 months? Or can the group be moving about and doing things at the same time?

GM: Looking over the list so far, none of your thieves/bards will learn self taugh skills earlier than 9 weeks

GM: Good Point TMO, you can train while adventuring

GM: It take 8 hours a day to train,

GM: so yes to training and adventuring if the trainer is part of the group

mharmon1 (Jericho): So. sounds like spells, then some money making before training?

Matthias Crowtooth: I'm reminded of the scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail where Bedivere is "teaching" Arthur while on the road

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): ooc

mharmon1 (Jericho): while training

GM: What skills does Jericho have to teach others that people are intersted in learning?

GM: He has the best wisdom and can train the fastest

mharmon1 (Jericho): I posted above. no one spoke up

seyfert: she can give you a firsthand democ)

GM: Yes to Michael, just reinforcing

mharmon1 (Jericho): no worries. just don't want to type more then necessry tonite

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I would like to learn admin from him

GM: Also nothing HAS to be finished tonight or this story arc

seyfert: ok sorry

GM: the point is to have everyone understand how the training process works the complications of it and then continue adventuring

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): tmo is treasurer, I would like to point out

seyfert: so Vee can learn weather sense as we go, that's less important since Lirt has it. So she should train Roth during the click off time part

Shislif: nice pointing Lemon!

seyfert: But she'll need to find Shipwright trainer while home

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol, thanks

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Ooooh, Matty would love to sit in on those weather sense lessons

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Wait, Matty has no NWP slots. Nevermind

GM: So over 5 weeks Lirt can teach both Vee and Matty Weather Sense... if Matty was able to learn

seyfert: lol well he might have two trainers to take it from later when he does

GM: Remember for those who need Thief skill training there are Investigators who can train you from the Church

seyfert: ok full attention now minus cat

GM: also if Lirt is training Vee then she cannot train Rothuss in 2nd level spells

wyjyoon (Temperance): If anyone's still interested in learning from Jericho, I think he said: brewing, diagnostics, gaming, healing, herbalism, reading/writing, swimming, vet healing

seyfert: but you said she can train as they adventure

GM: Only one person at a time

seyfert: or next downtime so better for Roth to get magic first

seyfert: or Vee finds a different trainer and see what it'll cost

GM: Also for the accounting purposes as of now you have Lirt oweing a favor to her mentor for training in 2nd level spells and Jericho owing a favor to the Temple for training in 2nd level spells

GM: For the first six weeks of clicking off training time

mharmon1 (Jericho): As i see it now yes

seyfert: and everyone else is saying their plans so what do they need for it to stick?

GM: We need what they want training in and who it is by

GM: I have Levi on the board now

mharmon1 (Jericho): During those six weeks, rogues can teach themselves

GM: that will be free and trained by Temperance

seyfert: Levi learns from his mentor unless deemed otherwise

seyfert: oh there

seyfert: done

GM: Yes to Michael, problem is how long depends on their own wisdom

Rothuss Carder: I'm not in a rush Vee

mharmon1 (Jericho): Right. Sorry, just trying to do a mental gantt chart to see how to minimize time

seyfert: (we'll get to Vee in a minute it seems as we plot the others out)

GM: I have a sheet I am filling out Michael

mharmon1 (Jericho): no doubt :D

GM: Vee and Melange are the blanks currently

Shislif: hi there :)

seyfert: go sharif

seyfert: vee should only be partial blank so you go before I get annoyed at repetition :P

Shislif: sorry i'm off the discord

GM: We are not rushing anyone through this, we are taking our time tonight

Shislif: So I'm down to Endurance and Alertness I think

GM: We have LOTS of repetition tonight, sorry Carissa

GM: Michael can you teach either of those?

GM: Meaning Jerisho

GM: Jericho

seyfert: yuuuuup so I'll wait until others are settled to minimize it on my end

Shislif: I thought The Keiser would teach Mel?

seyfert: Levi can teach Alertness at least and as Ranger has high wisdom IF he isn't busy himself

GM: That is possible Sharif, if you have the money to pay, 700 gold

Shislif: oh my

Shislif: I do not

GM: 5 weeks for Levi to teach something

Shislif: acting all nice like she wants to help

seyfert: sorry should have know he wasn't THAT wise...

Shislif: Levi willing to teach Mel?

GM: That would put us at 7 weeks total if Levi can teach Melange Alertness

seyfert: including Levi learning botany?

GM: Yes

GM: Levi learns Botany in 3 weeks, then teaches Melange Alterness over the next 5 weeks for a total of 8 weeks because TMO is in charge of math not BOB

GM: :)

Shislif (MeLange): so any learning outside the team is 700gp?

seyfert: because math is gross

seyfert: after 7 PM

MeLange: rude really

Shislif (MeLange): ooc

GM: Average is 700 GP for 7 weeks of training, if you go longer training is cheaper, shorter training is more expensive

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm happy to teach whatever

mharmon1 (Jericho): i dropped my tablet. had to ask for help. sorry. catching back up

Shislif (MeLange): dang, the economy today

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): For everyone's interest, I have alertness, ambidexterity, artistic ability, direction sense, distance sense, ranger tracking, hide in shadows, move silently, spelunking, swimming, trail marking, two weapon style, and weaponsmithing (crude)

Shislif (MeLange): dang so many skills!

GM: If we go to 9 weeks total of skipping time that gives Lirt 2nd level spells, Levi Botany, Jericho 2nd level spells, Melange Alterness and Rothuss 1 level of thief skills

Shislif (MeLange): nice

wyjyoon (Temperance): I love how spelunking is actually the name for the skill

GM: Sorry Matty not Roghuss

GM: Rothuss would be one more week of training himself

GM: Or which ever skills Rothus wants to learn from Lirt instead

GM: or Vee etc

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss has no profs to learn until next level

GM: So Rothuss could choose 2nd level thief skills or learn spells from Lirt, Thief skills take 10 weeks total on his own or pay/favor to the Temple for an investigator, OR learn spells from Lirt at 5 weeks

GM: I think that is the key stumbling block for Rothuss and Vee

GM: After 6 weeks does Lirt train Rogthus or Vee?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'd say Vee

GM: and that 5 weeks pushes the clicking off time to 11 weeks

GM: which means Rothus can teach himself 1 level of thief skills

mharmon1 (Jericho): I think we can also, and this is just a thought, bob could we simply double training time and stick close by? maybe do one or two "smaller" things that allow people to train at a cheaper rate while being very close? it's just a thought, not saying we should.

seyfert: she wants to learn shipwright more than weather sense for whatever that might change plans

GM: Does anyone have shipwright to teach her?

mharmon1 (Jericho): I do not

Shislif (MeLange): sry nayeth

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Lirt doesn't have shipwright so that would change Lirt being able to teach Vee

GM: for Michael, once we have a good idea for people the next story arc will be part of paying back a favor to the Temple

mharmon1 (Jericho): OK. just seeing if it would help with timetables

seyfert: did not think anyone did so wanted to explore options when we get that chance

GM: which also means that Vee can contract with someone to learn that skill go do the favor for them and come back to learn it from them

seyfert: sure

seyfert: she probably knows a guy

GM: I have an adventure for you too

GM: grins

GM: BOB has a plan TM

Shislif (MeLange): Including Mel?

seyfert: gotta put the TM in or else your plans get ruined by other plans

seyfert: that was what happened last week - you forgot the TM

GM: Yes for Mel

GM: LOL

Shislif (MeLange): yay!

GM: EXACTLY!!!!

GM: So right now we are using Lirt and Rothuss as our brackets

GM: Everyone starts at the same time, Lirt after 6 weeks knows 2nd level spells and after 5 more weeks (11 weeks total) has taught Rothuss how to cast 1st level spells

GM: At the end of that 11 weeks the group goes out to adventure to pay back the favor that Lirt has from her training

mharmon1 (Jericho): At the end bob, I would like to be doing something during this training period if okay with you. Just posting here for the end of the night if you have a few minutes

GM: During that 11 weeks, Jericho incurs a favor from the Temple to train him in 2nd level spells, then he has 9 weeks free to train other people in a skill he has if they want

Shislif (MeLange): are we just doing training tonight then?

Shislif (MeLange): sry I'm sure that was already said

GM: During that 11 weeks, Levi learns Botany from Temperance, and then has 8 weeks to train someone else in a skill he knows if they want

'mharmon1' disconnected

Shislif (MeLange): Alertness!

GM: If we get through everything there will be the start of the next story arc Sharif, just have to make sure we know what everyone wants, and who can do what for what cost

Shislif (MeLange): sounds good

GM: It is a lot I know but in the past the group had a huge war chest of cash to just PAY and CLICK OFF TIME to avoid all this

GM: and now I want to walk everyone through the process so everyone appreciates the complexity

GM: Levi has Alertness to train Melange in?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): just to check, Rothuss will do 2nd lvl thief skills while waiting for Lirt to train him?

GM: Maybe to TMO

GM: That would require owing a favor to the Temple at a minimum

GM: Downpayment and a favor

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I thought Rothuss could train himself?

GM: He can but it takes 10 weeks, then he cannot learn spells from Lirt

GM: Because the trainings cannot overlap

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Ah, I see my mistake. I thought it was 11 weeks *before* Rothuss got trained. it's 6

GM: yes

Shislif (MeLange): complex!

GM: If Levi is teaching Melange Alertness

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): yes to Levi teaching alertness

Shislif (MeLange): yay!

GM: that takes place from weeks 4 through 9 so on week ten Melange woudl know alterness

Shislif (MeLange): ah man he's gonna be so alert

seyfert: lol

Shislif (MeLange): btws, just ignore the stuff Mel may or may not have said about Levi during the gossip stage...

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol

seyfert: fart sniffer

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): can Rothuss do partial thief training? In that 6 weeks he can learn 1 of his skills +10% if so.

GM: No to TMO, the answer is yes but every time you delay a training by a day you add a day, then after a week you add two days for every day missed, etc. so it is not worth it

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): math

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): ok

GM: The way the training is all set up is for NPCs to learn Blacksmithing as an apprentice and grow over time to be the blacksmith for the town which takes almost zero money but 24 months of time at least so you are trying to beat the system by paying for training from experts instead

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Speaking of which... yesterday I spent half an hour helping one of Wendy's kids learn to count coins... and I don't think she learned a single thing from me.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): by her kids, I mean her students

GM: and not learnign anything from you does not mean you are a bad teacher ;)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I didn't say I was, ouch

wyjyoon (Temperance): Listen, math never maths for her

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Levi Reed: Just like me. I wish I liked that kid.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ooc

GM: warm smiles HUGS Lemon

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think as we've discussed in reference to Lord of the Flies, kids can be quite terrifying

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): There are no bad teachers, only bad students

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I think that's the saying :thinking:

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): She just tries to use her cuteness manipulatively, and I hate that stuff. Like I care about all the kids, but I don't like them all.

Shislif (MeLange): tru tru

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'm working on getting her out of that habit

GM: How much money does the group have to pay for Vee to learn something?

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Can we have Vee ask her dads for a loan?

MeLange: 110gp and 8 SP

Shislif (MeLange): ooc

seyfert: she'd feel bad spending ALL of it

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): She has gotten better, for sure. But it's too late lol. My dislike is baked in now.

GM: and does anyone want to learn from Jericho which ever skills he has?

seyfert: but also yeah, can she owe them a favor instead? shopping list??

'mharmon1' connected

Shislif (MeLange): can Jericho teach Mel healing?

GM: Yes to Carissa on paying with a favor but not afterwards, they want it upfront

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): What about Levi's family knowing shipwright stuff? Family discount?

GM: That would be a potential yes to Lemon

Vee Barlett: lemme see...

Shislif (MeLange): ohhh potential yes nice

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): anyone want to know goats? Rothuss' family can help with that. ;)

Vee Barlett spent 58 GP on back to party pack so I don't have to math

GM: and Yes for Sharif after he learns Alterness from Levi

seyfert (Vee Barlett): She has at least 100 GP on her own. Party Pack has 565 GP or something

Shislif (MeLange): oh dang hell yea!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): freakin' goats

Shislif (MeLange): learnig some healing, eventually Mel is gonna get hurt!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): not my favorite eithe, TMO

mharmon1 (Jericho): Jericho also offered up some gold if someone needed it. He has 58 GP

Shislif (MeLange): Mel's got 110, not to brag

GM: BUT first Sharif, you have 1 NWP and 1 WP proficiency slots open right now you can train in. If you want to take two non-weapon skills you can or you can get better at a weapon skill later on

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean Levi also has some gold, but he's a scrooge with it

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): He'll buy you things, but he's not giving you money

Shislif (MeLange): oh yea Ill go with better at weapon skill later on then, didn't know I also had a weapon one

Shislif (MeLange): I thought it was either or

GM: On the current tally board you owe a favor for Jericho's training and Lirt's training

Shislif (MeLange): Mel would pay to help Vee

GM: Vee has not gotten any training yet at all

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (you asked how much money she has to pay upfront)

GM: Yes

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Family discount!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (that's what his response was for)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): either Levi's family or her family! someone's gotta know shipwright!

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Either the parents, or Lila. Not sure how Lila feels about Vee though. She definitely hates Levi. She might be ok with Vee since Vee also sometimes hates Levi.

GM: For Vee to learn Shipwright from someone over the 11 weeks for a cost of 500 gold

GM: Levi's family will do the training for 500

seyfert (Vee Barlett): that's without discount right? I mean we do technically have that money

GM: instead of 700

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Damn, my family's going to be rich

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ok but does this almost mean RP with Levi's family because I wanna meet themmmmm

Shislif (MeLange): oh hey may need to step away for like 20 mins or so to marinate some chicken wings then I'll be back, this a good time or need me for stuff?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and, again, watch Lila destroy Levi

GM: Normally would take Vee in as an apprentice and train her over a year or three

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): And watch Talin propose to Vee

Vee Barlett: that

GM: but pay them 500 and they will train her over the 11 weeks

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I think it's a good time, Sharif

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *that'll be hilarious whenever it happens

Shislif (MeLange): cool thx be back in a few :)

GM: Yes go Sharif

seyfert (Vee Barlett): if you all are okay with her taking out 400 GP from party pack?

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): seems she's the only one who has to pay for training so far

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm fine with it. I got my own gold

GM: Hearing no objections ..... Vee takes the gold from the party pack

seyfert (Vee Barlett): she will be down gold.... maybe she'll ask her dads for another allownace OR tell freakin Hilde she owes her money still for getting that rum

seyfert (Vee Barlett): seriously where's our reward for that??

mharmon1 (Jericho): I didn't die, that's enough reward for me

mharmon1 (Jericho): and that's what the PP gold is for :)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): not for vee

GM: No Vee does not get a chance to get to Osterhold because of training, and No Hilde has plans for Vee rather than giving her gold

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I call BS!

GM: grins

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): OH MY GOD. I've been searching for a song I heard once TWENTY YEARS AGO... Like for 20 years I've occasionally been searching for it, based on like, half a lyric I remembered. Never had any luck. And today it just SHOWED UP ON MY SPOTIFY WEEKLY LIST

GM: Yell it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Also she can always ask for an allowance at anytime, like via letter or next time they go there

GM: and what song?

GM: Tell us the lyric if we can guess it

GM: and Typing up the walk through list of training now

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Lol, ok, the lyric I remebered was "let's make out on the balcony"

Vee Barlett added 100 GP on on training (plus 400 from party pack)

Vee Barlett spent 100 GP on oops

Vee Barlett spent 100 GP on training plus another 400 GP from party pack

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you wrote words

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It was not entirely accurate

Levi Reed: (LINK)

GM: Week 1 everyone starts, end of week 2 Jericho finishes 2nd level spells..... end of week 3 Levi finishes learning Botany from Temperance..... end of week 6 Lirt finishes 2nd level spells...... end of week 9 Matty learning one level of thief skills.... end of week 10 Melange learns Altertness from Levi, end of week 11 Rothuss learns 1st level spells from Lirt and Vee learns Shipwright skill ... total cost at the end is 500 Gold and owing 1 favor for Lirt and 1 favor for Jericho

seyfert (Vee Barlett): never heard this song before

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I only heard it once. Twenty years ago.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you old

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So are you

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lies

seyfert (Vee Barlett): slander!!

GM: That keeps everyone busy the entire 11 weeks except for Jericho being free from week 3 to 11

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): You are old enough to have heard a song 20 years ago that you remember :P

seyfert (Vee Barlett): gamble and win us some money!

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Lemon - I had something similar, the transition in the song from serene to strong stuck with me, but none of the lyrics or tune. And then it got linked on Imgur and I was like "THAT'S THE SONG!"

mharmon1 (Jericho): Jericho begins brewing! A special batch to celebrate the success

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Niiiice, TMO

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): This feeling is amazing.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): P.S. We should also sell that 5 year old rum that Jericho was holding on to as well...

GM: Also for Spring she has Ratbone training in a level of thief skills which will end at the end of week 12

mharmon1 (Jericho): yeah probably lol

Rothuss Carder: (LINK)

GM: emptying and refilling then will come back to help everyone digest that list and we can start on the rest of the story arc

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): dang, vh1 classic

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I love that it's like "their most popular and memorable hit!" which is the nicest way to say "one-hit wonder" I've heard.

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): apparently the second sister wandered off while the first half of the video was being shot, and showed back up for the second half stone cold drunk. And they had to film it anyways.

GM: and back

GM: Does anyone have any questions?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I was wondering... this video is bonkers

wyjyoon (Temperance): I guess that explains the music video

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): No questions, your honor

wyjyoon (Temperance): Trust the process, or so I've been told

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Did I only learn the spells or also the NWP?

GM: I will have Carissa start up the roleplaying thread on the site for Lemon (and who ever wants to play one of Levi's siblings) to interact with Vee during training

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It reminds me of why I like Surface Pressure so much. But like, instead of serene to strong, it's like low and rough to soft and higher

GM: Only Spells JTmo

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Okay

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ehh when I feel like it

GM: Everyone will likely have empty slots for future training

Jericho: Hey guys, i'm super sorry, but my medicine is making me a bit drowsy. Bob is there anything I can do to help or can you please assign me a job on the website?

Levi Reed: And I found Vee's Theme Song (LINK)

GM: So Michael what has Jericho been doing these nine weeks?

mharmon1 (Jericho): ah thank you

Vee Barlett: (LINK)

GM: And then you are about to be assigned your favor if you can hang out for 15 more minutes

Image: Temple of the Orange Sunsets - Investigators Chapel

mharmon1 (Jericho): I wanted to roll two checks. one for brewing and another for adding flavored herbs to the brew. That, and add a few handfulls of berries from an idea he got with the gang. If they succeed, I would like to give each of the group a small (micro) brewing barrel with the brewing. And yes that is fine for 15 more minutes. This stuff is just no joke.

Jericho: [SKILL] Brewing [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 15]

mharmon1 (Jericho): Batch is wasted. Next time :)

GM: In the interest of moving quicker not moving tokens to the map of the Temple

GM: just doing things here

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean you only failed by 1. It's still good enough that we would all pretend to like it.

mharmon1 (Jericho): nah, the rules actually do say that

GM: but Jericho, Vee, Matty are there

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): That's unfortunate

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yoooo

GM: The rest are in the waiting room not invited into the meeting

GM: DOH sorry Temperance is there too

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): No Temperance?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ooh matty is with the fancy people

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): psychic

wyjyoon (Temperance): Hello

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): draws his stone dagger

seyfert (Vee Barlett): she can be chatting with lirt in the waiting room about the latest book club book

Pescal Olmeter, Master of the sixth circle....: Tell me again Hilde why I need to spend time with someone who has been spending time in the temple experimenting rather than performing their duties?

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Jericho has learned some new things and we gave him a chance to see what he would do with his new skills

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: He has not used them as I would have wished

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yawns

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: But we do have a plan for him

Vee Barlett: yawns

Jericho: Looks at Vee, hides a smirk

Jericho: his innocence of the church long since dead

Matthias Crowtooth: practices flipping his dagger and catching it

Pescal Olmeter, Master of the sixth circle....: Do I need to speak? or can I just look stern at this group of .... what do you want to call them? adventurers? troubleshooters?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (this is why they kept monks sheltered, to avoid disillusionment)

Matthias Crowtooth: winces when people start staring at him. Puts the dagger away

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Touble is a good word for them

mharmon1 (Jericho): Fall guys?

Jericho: Clumsy acolites?

Jericho: murmers

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Thank you for being here Master Olmeter, we can take it from here

Pescal Olmeter, Master of the sixth circle....: Just remember we need those compounds by the end of the month

Leaves out the side door

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: SO

mharmon1 (Jericho): and I need a million gold pieces. join the club dude

Looking at the group

Vee Barlett: looking back

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: You have been back for more than three months

Rothuss Carder: is looking around the office at the decorations.

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Jericho it has been three months since you trained with Mistress Bronde for spells, do you have any questions about your new skills?

Jericho: Many. What are some common recommendations you yourself might offer? It's better to get a wide variety of advices before I use somewhat new abilities.

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: That would have been a very good response two months ago,

Jericho: Chuckles. "Yes, I am a rather slow on the uptake. My apologies"

Shislif (MeLange): back!

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: However Master Olmeter is rather insistent that we get the rest of the materials ready for the brewing

Jericho: Nods

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: So we are sending you out on a mission

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: The shipment has not arrived and we need you to go find out why

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: and bring it here on time

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: It should be a simple thing

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Looks at Vee and Matty

Jericho: Snorts

Jericho: but tries to hide it

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: You can just assist Jericho on the road there and back

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: If there was a road

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Through the jungle then

Matthias Crowtooth: If there's not either, should we just leave him behind?

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: That would not be advisable

Vee Barlett: This his payment for his trainin'?

Jericho: Crestfallen

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: I would like you to bring back a body part so we can assertain that he really is dead

Jericho: I didn't mean to rope my friends into this

Jericho: eyes Vee and Matty worridly

Matthias Crowtooth: Do you care which body part?

Jericho: What...if he's not dead?

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Jericho needs to go to the Church of the Mists and they will tell him where the supplies are he is supposed to bring back

Vee Barlett: And what's in it for me?

Jericho: Winks at Vee,

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: Vee, you and Matthias are goign to escort him there and back

Vee Barlett: Mmhmm, but why?

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: You get to see that your friend stays alive

Jericho: Frowns

Vee Barlett: Would you send him if he didn't have friends/

Vee Barlett: *?

Jericho: While I am indeed happy they would be doing that.... I feel they are being shortchanged on this? It's like we are pressganging them into service?

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: and if Matthias finds anything along the way, the two of you are free to work with the Church of the Mists to discuss ownership

Jericho: Somewhat reluctantly discssing this fact

Vee Barlett: glances at Matty

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: I would definately send him alone into the wilderness after his lounging about the Temple the last 3 months

Vee Barlett: laughs

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Feel free to watch him go

Jericho: Raises eyebrows

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): The jungle is perfect for Levi. He uses machetes and hates monkeys for a reason.

Jericho: Vee, I am not going to ask for you to do this

Jericho: Rather stubbornly

Rothuss Carder: I can feel the love in the air.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): because they dulled his machetes?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (Rothuss is not here)

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I can feel the love in the air.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Probably they stole his food

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): The two things are not related other than both being jungle things.

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: I trust Vee to assist Jericho in achieving his goals

Vee Barlett: Nah, it's fine for you. You can owe me a drink. But I never signed up to be an errand girl for the temple.

Matthias Crowtooth: You... don't trust me?

Jericho: Nods

Matthias Crowtooth: shrugs

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Lol, we trust Matty to assist Vee

Matthias Crowtooth: That's fair

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol yep

Jericho: ......just staring at Hilde and Michel

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: I do not trust you Mattias, you have not managed to accomplish any of the tasks your captain assigned to you. If you do manage to bring Jericho back alive it will be the first thing you have done correctly since you have been employed by the Temple

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ouch

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oof

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): wowwwww

Matthias Crowtooth: Fair enough, Sunshine

Vee Barlett: whistles lightly under her breath

Jericho: Ah, well. I mean by that logic I can see what you are having Vee escort me. Considering the last outting.

Matthias Crowtooth: wanders off

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: I am comfident in the training that you have all recieved

Jericho: Vee, I'll be happy to pay your for your services. I definitely don't remember you signing up for that role, no.

Shislif (MeLange): caught up :)

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: You are heading into the mountains, you will need a variety of skills

Jericho: Nods in appreciation at michel's words

Vee Barlett: So I gotta make sure Jerich don't die, and Matty gets his act together. Y'all running up a tab here, but fine. I can collect later.

Vee Barlett: And I will.

Matthias Crowtooth: sharpens his stone dagger on the way out and thinks of people who need stabbing

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): afk getting coffee

User has gone AFK. (LemonyLemon)

Vee Barlett: Wait the mountains? Damn, gonna have to charge y'all double. Ain't no seas up there.

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Jericho you do remember your training and where the Church of the Mists is?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (she hasn't seen Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, has she?)

-> Temperance: This is where Temperance can speak up and say yes she knows

Temperance: Alright

Jericho: As I recieved it yes. I'll still review a map of the local area however. Jungle travel is ....well hard for me compared to my companions.

Temperance: I also may have some insight on that

Vee Barlett: You do, new girl?

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: Good Temperance

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: I hope you are prepared when you get there

Temperance: As prepared as we can be, I'm sure.

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: I expect you to leave in the morning

Michel Chelcein, Mistress of the third circle....: and be back by the end of the month

Jericho: And well....I know it is presumptious to ask, but if Vee and co keep helping us, again, i don't want to cause any friction, but maybe if we succeed you could put ina good word? We can keep getting more skills for future aid for the temple. Just a networking letter or something?

Vee Barlett: Really running up this tab quick...

Jericho: Instead of tabs of course

Vee Barlett: Screw you, buddy. I work for gold.

Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root: You have already been given the gift of knowledge and your new powers, what more do you presume to ask?

Jericho: Shakes head.

Jericho: I believe you mistake me

Jericho: What I mean

Jericho: Is that if we continue to seek aid from those who are not employed by the chruch, maybe we could find ways to increase our skills for it's beneift.

GM: Also this is where anyone with a skill you think applies could roll (vee, jericho, matty, temperance)

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 19]

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 10]

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

Jericho: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 6]

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (ooh and we can add our new skills now right?)

GM: yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): So in terms of rolling for a specific skill...

GM: Admin, Diplomancy etc

Jericho: I simply am asking that while I am always willing to do tasks for the chruch, my friends being roped in on my account for future endeavors, why instead of straight gold, they could obtain more knowledge that might aid them in future endeavors. After all, we are young, and you surely know more people

User is back. (LemonyLemon)

mharmon1 (Jericho): (I was unable to pay for Admin at this time)

Shislif (MeLange): do we add any values?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Sorry, haven't figured out the dice mechanics yet

GM: No to Sharif, you are not in the meeting

Shislif (MeLange): oh mb

GM: and someone can help you Wendy

Shislif (MeLange): still added alertness though

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (shipwright isn't in the skill list not that it matters at this meeting but one day it will!)

Shislif (MeLange): I can try to help but I only know the basics

GM: Yes to Sharif

mharmon1 (Jericho): (I dont' see any new spells)

GM: I can update for you Carissa after this meeting

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (you have to add them)

GM: I will add the spells Michael

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think I need to use d20?

mharmon1 (Jericho): TY. If they won't helpw ith this meeting, there is no rush

GM: After this meeting I will deal with character sheets

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So on your tab with your skills, you just grab the little dice with the number next to it

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Then you drop it in the chat box

GM: Thank you Lemon

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ah, gotcha

mharmon1 (Jericho): I mean, if this is repayment for favor, I guess, but just snagging people off the street and preying on their frienship is fucking disguesting

Shislif (MeLange): oh well that wasn't what i was thinking so glad I didn't help lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Dunno if this would be an applicable skill

seyfert (Vee Barlett): technically only did that to Vee since Matty works for the Temple and Temperance is a priestess

Temperance: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 14]

mharmon1 (Jericho): Still

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Neither is botany, that I can tell?

mharmon1 (Jericho): bothers the shit outta me

GM: To be clear this is the favor Jericho owes, the church just trusts Vee, Matty and Temperance to also know about what Jericho is being tasked with. They do not have to do anything

seyfert (Vee Barlett): good thing there aren't plants here!

mharmon1 (Jericho): Thank you for clarifying

GM: and also Carissa makes a good point

mharmon1 (Jericho): I'll still pay Vee though, because what the shit

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and yes, Vee is aware but she is still calling it out

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Hey, we don't know, maybe she slipped something into the air or something

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Don't feel that the church trusts Matty even that far

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): powdered root of "making people agree to stuff they dont' want to do"

wyjyoon (Temperance): Honestly considering the links Carissa sent me about plants I wouldn't be surprised

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

mharmon1 (Jericho): Why did Matty get lectured but Jericho didn't. Seriously, we only succeeeded because of Vee

GM: and that is a quirk for the group to figure out, if they called out Matty like that in the meeting, why do they trust him? Why send him on this mission?

mharmon1 (Jericho): We all fudged up

GM: The rest of the group is just hanging out with their friends,

seyfert (Vee Barlett): well there is the link to the poison in puffer fish and the voodoo zombies of Haiti who did do things for others from long ago...

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): I fudged up by having my upstairs flooded and then trying to fix it on a game night, I guess

GM: LOL with Ryan

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I think Hilde just doesn't like you. She found out you put the rum in your pants

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think there's also fungi or spore that manipulates the host's brain function

'mharmon1' disconnected

GM: OK

GM: so meeting is over

seyfert (Vee Barlett): cortceptoli? I forget how it's spelled, but not for people

GM: the group has a day to organize your self

seyfert (Vee Barlett): only toxoplasmosis for people brain alerting that we know of... and prions

GM: I will look at character sheets

GM: make sure the new skills are there, spells, etc.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): wait! but Vee was surprisingly Charismastic at the meeting!

GM: Yes she was

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ugh so she glares at them as she leaves and scratched her nose with her middle finger in the subtle but not subtle motion that they laughed at instead of being mad at?

GM: smiles

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But again, science = not here

GM: In the morning you are going to go up river

GM: into the jungle

Vee Barlett: I hate the jungle.

GM: (LINK)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I hope it's guns and roses...

seyfert (Vee Barlett): good approved

wyjyoon (Temperance): Nice!

GM: Temperance shoudl be good to go will check her sheet last

GM: TMO you updated Rothuss' thief skills by one level?

wyjyoon (Temperance): No worries, I'll be listening to songs and stuff

GM: Ryan you updated Matty by one level?

GM: Working on Levi and Vee now

Matthias Crowtooth: Uhh...

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): He does show level 3, but I don't think I touched him....?

GM: you would add the 15 points total to which ever skills you want to go from level 1 to level 2 thief

GM: max of ten points to any skill

GM: Also for Vee and Levi there is a requirement to pick a species enemy

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Levi picked monkeys years ago

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Vee....I forgot. What's a good aquatic enemy?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): yep

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Not apes, those are different.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But monkeys

MeLange: lol but monkeys

Shislif (MeLange): ooc

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 18]

GM: Levi complete for current training

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): yayyy

Shislif (MeLange): go levi!

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): bravo!

wyjyoon (Temperance): I honestly don't know how much Vee fears aquatic creatures, considering she's pretty comfortable with the sea

seyfert (Vee Barlett): not something she fears, but something she wants dead

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ah

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sea scrags or something

seyfert (Vee Barlett): what's a common annoying creature on sea D&D lore people??

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Wait, I don't want monkeys dead, I just want them nowhere near me. Does it have to be something you want dead?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you get bonus fighitng them so... up to you

Shislif (MeLange): butt monkey killer!

GM: Updated Levi for species enemy, he now has 1 WP slot open for training the next time he gets a chance to train for something

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and technically in battle, you'd go after the monkey first if you go by the guide

GM: Yes to Levi having a rage against them

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Wait, is it too late to change my mind then? I don't want to be a monkey murderer

GM: You can change

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I misunderstood what "hate" means

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Let me go snakes

GM: You have another 2 hours

Shislif (MeLange): so you kill a few monkeys...

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm fine with attacking snakes first

GM: no to snaks

GM: snakes

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): what

seyfert (Vee Barlett): no snacks either

GM: It has to be an intelligence creature

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): oooohhhh

seyfert (Vee Barlett): goblins?

GM: yes to Carissa cannot pick snacks iether

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Hmm. I was going to say goblins but that seems so boooring

Shislif (MeLange): may I suggest choking the monkey?

GM: WOW

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yeah don't look at me, no one is telling me aquatic lore creatures either so...

Shislif (MeLange): :)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I thought those were chickens

Shislif (MeLange): close enough

GM: Working on that for you Carissa

seyfert (Vee Barlett): thank you

Shislif (MeLange): you're right though

GM: finishing Levi first

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): dopplegangers?

Shislif (MeLange): messed up my metaphors, for shame

seyfert (Vee Barlett): although I feel like chickens should be acceptable enemies, too

Shislif (MeLange): few beers in :)

GM: The problem with Dopplegangers is if you think someone is then you will attack them

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm not well versed enough in d&d monsters

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): oh

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Hmm

GM: If you can live with that

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Levi is not wise so that might happen... many times....

Shislif (MeLange): Mel's got your back

GM: two options from Levi's adventures is Goblins or Chupacabra

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): what were those thigns we fought in the giant fortress that weren't giants?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ogres? bugbears?

GM: Things from the island,

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): bugbears! would Levi know about bugbears?

GM: No clue those exist yet

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): dang. Ok, I guess I'll go with stupid goblins

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I do kind of hate goblins

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

'Dru5232321' disconnected

GM: So both the sheet for Levi and the site page is updated now

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think the last time I read up on d&d creatures I took 2 hours reading about werewolves and wolfweres

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): aboleth for Vee?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Or is that just a one-time monster?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): isn't that something we DON'T want to run into?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I don't know, I'm just googling over here

wyjyoon (Temperance): It looks terrifying

GM: Scrag would be appropriate for Vee

'Dru5232321' connected

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): harpies, of course

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Shipwright [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 13]

GM: Yes to Harpies also

GM: or Sharks

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): merrow?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Do we have those?

GM: a good one also

wyjyoon (Temperance): Orcas?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sharks are just misunderstood!

GM: no orcas in these waters

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh

seyfert (Vee Barlett): scrags probably is best, I bet they're still a nuisances here

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): backie back

wyjyoon (Temperance): Welcome back!

GM: set for you now Carissa

Shislif (MeLange): welcome back :)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): thanks

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): thank ye

GM: Working on Jericho now

GM: If you need help Ryan let me know, but you can add 15 total 10 max to any one skill

GM: and that trains you to level 2 thief skills

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Oh, yeah, I did that

GM: great

GM: So dealing with the complications of Jericho, then moving to Lirt and Rothuss

Dru5232321 (Matthias Crowtooth): Actually, I just hopped on, but it sounds like I need to help with the kids. Sorry :(

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): my turn?

GM: But TMO likely has Rothuss Magic skills under control, he gets 1 first level spell

seyfert (Vee Barlett): night ryan!

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): is the spell at random? or does it need to be Read Magic?

'Dru5232321' disconnected

Shislif (MeLange): we doin any Mel work? I may log off if we're not up to much else, not to be a buzz kill or anything

Shislif (MeLange): night ryan

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): don't know if bards have to use Read Magic

GM: Sorry Sharif, will jump over to you now

MeLange: oh no that's fine just wasn't sure if there was anything

Shislif (MeLange): ooc

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): np, go for it

MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 15]

Shislif (MeLange): oh sry was i supposed to roll?

GM: Melange is updated

GM: No I was testing

Shislif (MeLange): oh ok

Shislif (MeLange): sweet thx

GM: So Lirt, Rothuss and Jericho I am still updating while you all decide what you need to go into the jungles

GM: remember spell books take weight, etc.

GM: all the encumbrance issues of walking

GM: unless you are buying/hiring a mule

GM: etc etc etc

GM: Want to leave bright and early in the morning when we start next session

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I find it weird that bards use spell books... ;) they always seemed more like sorcerers in style to me. but if I must book, then I must book

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): did you see my question above about what spell Rothuss gets?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, wait. Rothuss isn't going into the jungle, right?

GM: back and no I did not but it is anything that is in Lirt's spell books OR a random roll of any first level spell if you do not want one of those

GM: and yes Roghtuss is heading into the jungle with everyone

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean if there's no road, do we want a mule? Sounds like a pain in the ass, no pun intended, but maybe

Shislif (MeLange): mule could be nice

GM: BUT Rothuss knows that the paths lead up through the hills first then into the jungles and Temperance knows that the Church of the Mists is along the river somewhere up there into the mountains

GM: and all puns intended Lemon

GM: Now back to Jericho

wyjyoon (Temperance): I guess it depends on how much care a mule requires when traversing through jungles, and if that's worth the cost of its functionality?

Shislif (MeLange): oh machetes! to chop down the jungle as we traverse it

Shislif (MeLange): does depend on those factors tru

Shislif (MeLange): how harsh a jungle we talking about?

Shislif (MeLange): mules get around, probably be fine

Vee Barlett: if we want to use the canoe for the river, we'd probably want something to help carry it and/or we'd have to switch off

seyfert (Vee Barlett): we may not have the money for it

Shislif (MeLange): good point

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean, I have two machetes, how many machetes do we need?

Shislif (MeLange): at least two

Shislif (MeLange): 4?

Shislif (MeLange): so two can chop and two machete back ups just in case of any accidents

Shislif (MeLange): not a competency but a...

Shislif (MeLange): like a back up but ...

Shislif (MeLange): I'm watching Andor n they talk about it

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): does Rothuss need to know Read Magic? He gets them at random, so maybe not?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): and if he doesn't need Read Magic, I'll be happy to have one at random. that fits Rothuss' style. ;)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): His spellbook is all stick figure drawings

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): test

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): sooo...

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): *cricket chirp*

Levi Reed: *puts hands in pockets and shuffles feet*

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ooc

seyfert (Vee Barlett): bob wants planning and I hate it so all you

wyjyoon (Temperance): This might be a silly question

seyfert (Vee Barlett): go for it

wyjyoon (Temperance): But do we have anything planned for sustenance? Like access to water or food

seyfert (Vee Barlett): we usually put some money down before a trip to cover it without going into details

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): so who is going? everyone, or just some?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): like an adventure pack or something, or someone has skills to contribute to it, or we aren't gone long enough to worry

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Everyone TMO. Bob said that twice.

GM: Ok so Jericho is fully updated now on FG

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): And we can probably find a good amount of food in the jungle

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Sorry Carissa

seyfert (Vee Barlett): it is a night with a lot of repetition so I'm a little short, sorry

wyjyoon (Temperance): I figured as much too. Thanks for clarifying that!

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): After being told Rothuss wasn't there, I had put the whole jungle trip to the side

seyfert (Vee Barlett): he just wasn't in the meeting, he was in the waiting room with everyone else

GM: working on Rothuss now

seyfert (Vee Barlett): so presumable as part of the planning we told you all what was happening and/or we can do that now in RP

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and I suppose you can opt out as always

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *as always is an option not that you do

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I was wondering if I needed to get offended. ;)

Vee Barlett: lol

GM: yes to TMO and Carissa, this is the everyone gets together learn what the mission is and how you will tackle it

GM: I have Lirt and Rothuss to finish updating

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I will need to re-read the chat before I have opinions on planning, but I'm here for any RP we need to do

GM: Everyone else is up to date to go off on the next story arc adventure

wyjyoon (Temperance): So we've discussed machetes / weaponry and sustenance. Did we decide no on the mule? I wasn't sure

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): a mule isn't a bad idea if we can afford one

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We haven't decided yet, I don't think

Shislif (MeLange): well we haven't RPd what the mission is right?

GM: For TMO did you decide if you are taking one of Lirt's spells? or are you doign the random pick a spell roll?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): anyone can start

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok cool

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): best case scenario, it does all the heavy lifting. worst case, it's a distraction snack for the monster

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm happy to weigh in on planning, but not yet. My brain isn't in that space. I need to re-read the chat and figure out my opinions

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): if Rothuss doesn't *need* Read Magic, then he'll take a random roll

seyfert (Vee Barlett): mule no decision yet because we don't know cost nor do we know if canoe can be transported and what that involves

GM: roll a d100 please

Rothuss Carder: [d100 = 23]

MeLange: Hey so what you guys talking about in there in your fancy meeting room?

MeLange: I ben they had brandy too

MeLange: bet

Rothuss Carder: Probably boring stuff.

MeLange: ugh, i hate boring stuff

Levi Reed: Yeah, I'm so glad I wasn't there

Levi Reed: I'm sure it was terrible

Levi Reed: These stuffy church people, you know?

MeLange: Hey

Vee Barlett: Land stuff. Really boring.

MeLange: sniffs his palm

MeLange: these grapes a little sour?

Temperance: I do agree it wasn't anything too interesting.

Vee Barlett: Who wants to go into a Jungle? Just shank me already.

MeLange: any news the rest of us need to know about?

MeLange: the jungle?

Vee Barlett: IF you don't want Jericho to die, AGAIN, you can go into the Jungle with him.

MeLange: sounds unpleasant

GM: Fun spell TMO - Expeditious Retreat

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): woo!

Temperance: Why is Jericho always threatened with death?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Brave Sir Robin ran away!

Vee Barlett: He's a walkin' bad omen.

MeLange: Yea what's the matter Jericho?

MeLange: oh be nice Vee

MeLange: he can't help it

Vee Barlett: Matty got roped in 'cause they ain't happy with his work. Temperance got roped in 'cause... church. And I don't know why they asked me. Because I hate doin' work for free.

MeLange: maybe we could find some gold along the way?

Vee Barlett: So y'all gotta go, too, or I'm gonna shank someone. And soon.

Levi Reed: What's wrong with Matty's work?

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Levi Reed: I mean... I guess he does have a weak stomach but...

Vee Barlett: Hilde don't like him for some reason.

Levi Reed: A man can't help that

Rothuss Carder: You got roped in because you're the Boss. Right Cap'n?

Temperance: They were impressed by your charisma, perhaps

Levi Reed: I'm definitely in. Maybe we'll find the chupacabra that got away

Vee Barlett: 'Suppose so, but who works for free? OR on death threats to people they know?

MeLange: If Levi'

Vee Barlett: Wait... scratch the last one. That works sometimes. Not that I know.

MeLange: s in then i'm in

MeLange: not killing the Chupa without me

Levi Reed: offers MeLange a high five

Vee Barlett: Made sure they saw what I thought of 'em as I left at least...

MeLange recieves

Vee Barlett: At least there is a river.

Temperance: A small consolation for the seafaring folk

Vee Barlett: Somewhere after the gross jungle.

Levi Reed: Do we have to go on the river?

Vee Barlett: glares at him

Vee Barlett: That a real question?

Temperance: From what I recall, we must go up the river

Levi Reed: Yep!

Vee Barlett: Yes.

Levi Reed: Oh god. I'd rather walk. Up the river means more rowing

MeLange: up the river

Vee Barlett: You ain't gettin' a choice.

MeLange: or Vee will Shank you

Vee Barlett: Well we gotta see if we can get my canoe through the jungle...

Levi Reed: Look, she's bound to shank me one of these days. Why not let today be that day?

Vee Barlett: Or else we swim up it, maybe. Or I can maybe toss somethin' together...

Temperance: Would it be too much a hassle to create one from the plant life?

Vee Barlett: I got a special shankin' for you. I'm waiting for the day, don't worry.

MeLange: I've been told I'm a good rower, if that helps

Vee Barlett: You are, Melange. Put the rest of 'em to shame.

GM: Ok so it is mostly done for Rothuss, I need to add the full spell description but the stats are correct

MeLange: remember Vee, the day you shank Levi you better shank two people

Vee Barlett: Two? I'll just shank him twice.

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): huzzah!

GM: One of us will update that later

MeLange smiles

MeLange: no i mean I got his back haha

Vee Barlett: And I got a long knife.

MeLange: very impressive

Levi Reed: I know I annoy you as much as two people, Vee, but I'm still just one

GM: Jtom Lirt was taking Acid Arrow as her automatically learned spell?

Vee Barlett: Nah, see? Ain't just a shankin' but a murder if you keepin' your ways. Same warnin' I always give ya.

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Yes

Levi Reed: What do you think, Temperance? You up for the jungle? You could be a big help in there, will all that plant knowledge you have

Temperance: Perhaps we shouldn't speak about shanking one of our own before we survive through a jungle up a river.

MeLange: Fair fair, and to also be fair, I certainly wouldn't enjoy it if it ever came to that

Temperance: I don't believe I have any choice in the matter.

Levi Reed: I mean, you could quit the church and run away

Levi Reed: Always an option

Levi Reed: Rothuss, Lirt? You in?

Vee Barlett: Run away from a church like Levi runs from monkeys...

MeLange: So if we're going to take a canoe would we also need a mule?

Rothuss Carder: Of course!

Temperance: As of current, the Church is all I have

Vee Barlett: Or someone really strong to help carry it...

MeLange: why of course? it's not so obvious to everybody

Levi Reed: Look, monkeys will steal everything and laugh in your face. Hate those little suckers.

MeLange: oh ok, then I'm team mule

GM: Added to Lirt's sheet and updated spell levels

Temperance: So will human thieves, from what I've seen.

Levi Reed: Gods, Vee. I'll do it if you insist, but getting a canoe through the jungle isn't going to be fun. Even with a mule

Vee Barlett: And them charmers, too.

Vee Barlett: Just sayin' a canoe is nice for a river. Unless ya wanna swim.

Lirtimya memorized Melf's Acid Arrow

Levi Reed: Yeah but when it's humans at least the other humans are like, "what an asshole." instead of being like, "oh look at the cute little fluffy monkeeeeey"

MeLange: couldn't we just leave the canoe once we get where we're going?

Levi Reed: Only if you want Vee to shank you

GM: scrolling back up to read

Temperance: There might be materials available within the jungle to build one, as well.

MeLange: doesn't have to be a fancy canoe

Vee Barlett: Leave MY canoe??

MeLange: well lets take a different canoe

Levi Reed: She's not giving that canoe up. Even when she gets a ship, I bet that canoe becomes like... a pet

Vee Barlett: And whose gonna buy a new canoe? Ain't cheap.

MeLange: ugh true

MeLange: is one canoe big enough for us all?

MeLange: and a mule?

Levi Reed: I mean, Vee's canoe was big enough for us all on the first trip

Vee Barlett: We took it all up to the Temple earlier. And still ain't sure we can afford a non-human mule.

Levi Reed: But you bring up a good point about the mule

MeLange: fair point

Vee Barlett: We took it all up to the Temple earlier. And still ain't sure we can afford a non-human mule.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (I have no clue how transporting a canoe would work nor if we can just build something instead once we get up there, FYI)

Levi Reed: Ok, well, let's check on the mule price and go from there, yeah?

Vee Barlett: Who's gonna handle it?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Lol didn;t mean to do that, sorry

MeLange: carry the canoe?

Vee Barlett: all good!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (ooc)

MeLange: or the mule?

Vee Barlett: The mule.

Levi Reed: No one is carrying the mule

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (sorry, also on a phone call, don't mean to be split attention)

MeLange: the mule's mule

Vee Barlett: Hey Temp. How far is this Temple?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (was hoping Bob told you)

wyjyoon (Temperance): Um

wyjyoon (Temperance): All I know is we gotta go upstream

seyfert (Vee Barlett): he might still be reading, lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm also hoping BOB will let us check the price of a mule

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't know how many days or how time-consuming the travel is

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and/or tell us what to expect in trying to transport a canoe

wyjyoon (Temperance): In hindsight, I should've followed my instincts and asked more questions

seyfert (Vee Barlett): it did feel a bit rushed

wyjyoon (Temperance): All he said was "tell them you know about this" and I went "ok sure"

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol it's okay

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): rp-wise, Rothuss has some practical experience mountain wise, but no actual NWP about it. But not jungle

GM: Ok done and caught up

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think the temple is also up a mountain of some sort, right?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): up a mountain that rothuss knows has some paths and on a river

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you and/or jericho know the river part

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, I got the river part, apparently

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

GM: If you take the canoe you will be splitting the party at some points, because obviously you are not taking a mule in the canoe, but you cannot carry the canoe easily through the jungles either. Taking a mule means you can take all your supplies on its back instead of you carrying them, so you can move at 12 (24 miles per day across easy terrain {Narrator: it was not easy terrain} if you are unencumbered

GM: 8 Gold to buy a mule

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): how much to buy Sister Sarah?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oh, I'll spring for the mule

seyfert (Vee Barlett): do we need the canoe and will the mule even be able to cross uneasy terrain?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Who's Sister Sarah?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): mules are very good at rough terrain.

Image: Borinquen

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): old movie reference

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ah

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): the name just stuck in my head - I barely remember any of the actual content

Rothuss Carder: (LINK)

wyjyoon (Temperance): Are we allowed to know how large or deep the river is? Or do we find that out later?

GM: There is the map of the island and you can see the arrow pointing to the mountain area you are heading to. It is "only" 12 miles upstream into the mountains

seyfert (Vee Barlett): wait is it river OR mountain path?

GM: So in theroy this will be a two day trip up there

GM: Both to carissa

GM: Up in the mountains to where the river flows from

seyfert (Vee Barlett): it is a river, why can't we just go straight river

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Potentially waterfalls?

GM: River uphill

seyfert (Vee Barlett): so do we need the canoe

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and/or can we build things

GM: So yes to canoe partway up, but then you will hit a spot where it will be much harder in the canoe and you will have to portage it

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I don't think we want to paddle upstream

GM: and if someone has shipwright or boatbuilding they can build a canoe yes

GM: :)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): good

Shislif (MeLange): ok caught up

Shislif (MeLange): so what if we travel light and fast?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): so if we don't want to carry her current canoe, we can build one up there

Shislif (MeLange): on foot?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): if we get a mule, someone will at some point need to stay behind with the mule and split the party

Shislif (MeLange): or like just the canoe as far as we can go then light and fast on foot?

GM: The current plan (and I do think it is a good one) is to buy 1 mule, load it up with what ever gear you want to take, spell books, food water etc and head up to the Church of the Mists

Shislif (MeLange): yea that would mean no mule, not saying it's the way to go just another option

GM: That is where you will get your mission on where to find the ingredients to bring back

Shislif (MeLange): good enough by me :)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): meaning we might need the mule for longer and/or to carry back whatever it is

Shislif (MeLange): hmm good meaning making

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We could leave the mule with the church if it's too cumbersome after that, maybe

seyfert (Vee Barlett): so is it paths then we have to jump on river?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): no church is on the river

GM: Also to be clear Temperance only knows of the existence of this Church not exactly where it is

MeLange: sounds like a nice spot for a church

Shislif (MeLange): ooc

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ok but it's not LITERALLY on the river, right? It's on the banks

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Ghost Church in the Mist...

seyfert (Vee Barlett): church of mists....

Shislif (MeLange): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and I don't know, my mood isn't great after all this planning tonight to think this through well

GM: We are good Carissa

GM: everyone is caught up and we have time to make sure people are ready for next week

Shislif (MeLange): we prolly don't need to overthink it

GM: go rest and relax

seyfert (Vee Barlett): agree sharif

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I'm just getting confused which isn't helping

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss never does! :)

Shislif (MeLange): which is my preferred manner of thinking :)

GM: and next session we wil leave from Achild off up into the mountains

seyfert (Vee Barlett): land water water land mule canoe build one, I don't know

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yes but someone has to

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We've definitely reached the point of the evening where I get confused, and then read the chat back later and everything makes sense and I'm like, why did I think this conversation was confusing?

Shislif (MeLange): we'll get a mule n figure the rest out

Shislif (MeLange): for 8 gp

GM: Yes you have a mule

GM: you are trained

Levi Reed spent 8 GP on a potentially misguided mule

GM: you have been in town or training for 11 weeks you all are going stir crazy and need to get out

Shislif (MeLange): just need a restful sleep n we travel in the morning!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): did jericho get animal speaking as a level 2 spell? I think it's a level 2 spell

GM: Adventure awaits

GM: Speak with Animals and checking

seyfert (Vee Barlett): just wondering if someone has it now

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): and I apologize again for my distractedness. conversations with a Slovak can do that. ;)

GM: and Yes he does

Shislif (MeLange): we all been there TMO!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ok

seyfert (Vee Barlett): then that's it for me, I am grumpy

seyfert: night all

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Fantastic, he can get me a parrot pet maybe

Shislif (MeLange): no animal speaking for Mel

Shislif (MeLange): night!

'seyfert' disconnected

wyjyoon (Temperance): Good night Carissa! Rest well

GM: have a great night everyone

GM: if you have not go finish the story prompts

Shislif (MeLange): night night have a great week everyone :)

GM: In the morning I will total up the new XP for those
