<font color="#000000">GM: Welcome sir</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You should have your Rothuss Token to use</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and now you can see how yours is highlighted and the rest are greyed out</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I missed any context for that comment. it was the first one I saw (Rothuss token, not highlighted)</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You should have your Rothuss Token to use</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and now you can see how yours is highlighted and the rest are greyed out</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: also Welcome sir</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: That is everything that you missed</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): yes, saw both of those, but no context for them. unless there was no context</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): is there a map?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: That was the context do you see up top the list of tokens?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): the character portraits across the top? that have always been there? Yes, mine is there, and not darkened (that's new though)</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Yes</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and you are supposed to have a few tweaks to AFK etc</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I can''t un-toggle AFK anymroe</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Hmmm</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): it disappeared once I started typing tho</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: It does not show you as AFK to me</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: True then you would not be AFK</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: grins</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: How have you been this week?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): used to be that I would toggle AFK off when I was back</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I think now it is automatic</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): it seems to no longer be functioning as "*toggle* AFK", but instead "*turn on* AFK"</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Also you should be able to set up your windows to a layout you like and when you log out it saves them for you for the next time you log in</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: feel free to experiment I am getting drinks</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): ooo... That's nice!</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): am I the only one here for now?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: yes</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Michael will be very late</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Carissa is another hour or so</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: no word from Spring</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): yep, saw that. but there's often others here already before me.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Ryan will be late</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): so, bonus XP for me? :D</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Sharif and JTom are not going to be in</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: grins, yeap</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: In fact I need to test that</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): what can I do for you whilst I am here alone?</font>

<font color="#660066">[100 XP] -> Rothuss Carder</font>

<font color="#660066">'Rothuss Carder' applied '230' experience to Bard.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: There you go</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and Look at your character sheet</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): 701 xp to go!</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and look up at the Portrait area, click on there</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: new options </font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): ok, so portrait and token can be different now. Nice.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: And multiple portraits, flat, perspective, animated</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: hmm.. not sure offhand how I'd use that, but could be fun</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: In theory you can show with a dagger, with an instrument, with a cloak, etc</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, the portrait doesn't have to be the small box anymore?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: No</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: This is part of the QoL updates</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): let me load up a test pic</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: along with the idea that everything has to adhere to certain rules for design now</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: so a LOT of extensions broke</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: our Weather one broke badly</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Some of the character sheet things might still not work</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: there were three updates today</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): it only lets me have one portrait, not multiples</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Hmm</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: But you can swap them out I suppose</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and with a different token too</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): couldn't change the token, could delete it. to put it back I had to reload the portrait</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: When I click on the Inventory Tab on the party sheet I get errors so not sure that is working yet</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Well, obviously some is and some are not</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): no worries!</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: So the hook for the next story arc is nearby and easy to find</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You are here at the pool at the bottom of the waterfall at the Church of the Mists</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and after a bit of investigation you do find a path that leads up and around so you do not need to swim over across the pool to get to the church</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): That's probably good.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: And so as you lead the way up and around that path, you discover a troubling thing, what is likely the problem you were sent to investigate</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: There is a landslide that is blocking the path</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): We're doing this with just me here? O_O</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Rothuss is used to smaller ones</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Grins you can get them started</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: But this is a larger one</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): okay, can do that!</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I will give Rothuss an intuition check and or mountaineering</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Hmm.. let's see... Rocks fall down from there... cover the path here. Cliff over there...</font>

<font color="#660066">Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 3]</font> [d20 = 12]

<font color="#000000">GM: Excellent that worked</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and so I will give you the check no matter the roll</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Rothuss looks around and sees that this might very well have been deliberate to block the path FROM the church as much as anyone coming up the path</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: As he looks around he spots a cloak caught in the rocks</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: partially torn away, but no body</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: goes to investigate that cloak.</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: looks for insignia or important markings</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: As he climbs up onto the pile of rocks he notices two things</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: One is the rocks are very stable, so little danger of them moving as far as he can tell</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Oh good. was warming up my Des and Climb Walls dice...</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and two there was/is a second path that leads DOWN into a crevice, with a stream flowing down into it</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Is it blocked too? Or passable?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: down into a fissure in the limestone rock, where a fast-running stream plunges down</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: about five feet across and fast-running, which tumbles from the rocks above and thence down into a cave-like crevice in the earth. The crevice is almost ten feet wide, with a ceiling of eight feet. The sound of the water echoes from the cave mouth</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: There are human footprints that lead down into the cave</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: Very interesting!</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You can guess that is where the priest? who ever had that cloak went... at least two maybe three</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Do you have anything that you think might help identify the cloak and or footprints?</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): can Rothuss see the church? Anything important he can see of it if so? Ruined/open/closed/walking on chicken legs?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: The top of the cliffs are not visible from there, you can hear the waterfall in the distance, but the jungle is too close to see that far</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): ok, so church is above us at the top of the waterfall?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Yes</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): so swimming to it was never a viable option then. :D</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I am not a salmon. :)</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Swimming across the pool might have been</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: But not UP the waterfall no</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: grins</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): okay, let me state what I think the situation is for clarity...</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Yes and I will load the map for you</font>

<font color="#660066">Image: AA1_M1_Pg3_PL_50px_31W_22H</font>

<font color="#660066">Image: Cave on the path up to the church</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): we are on a mountain side, next to a pool. Waterfall flows into pool. Narrow path leading upward to the church. Path is blocked by a rockfall/landslide. Rocks are fortunately very stable, but I presume difficult/impossible to cross. There is also a crevice with water flowing down into it, with human footprints leading down into the cavernous deeps within.</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): did I miss anything?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Yes that is a nice summary</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): both links try to open Cave on the path, which is a black screen</font>

<font color="#660066">Image: AA1_P6_Pg2</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): that one worked</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: How about that one?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: good</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: then they are all working</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: you are not on that first map</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): is that why it's black?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Yes</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and you have no light source activated</font>

<font color="#660066">'LemonyLemon' connected</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): thank you bob, for giving me access to .... The Void... (dun-dun-DUNNNN)</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: And here is Lemon</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Just in time to enter the VOID</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Lemon! We have a Void to explore!</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yay!</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): More info please</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Once she is set up we have a new thing to try too</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): we are on a mountain side, next to a pool. Waterfall flows into pool. Narrow path leading upward to the church. Path is blocked by a rockfall/landslide. Rocks are fortunately very stable, but I presume difficult/impossible to cross. There is also a crevice with water flowing down into it, with human footprints leading down into the cavernous deeps within.</font>

<font color="#261A10">The tunnel down into the caverns winds along a narrow and uneven path, following the river's natural course. Stalactites hang low from the ceiling, and the rock floor is treacherously slippery from the splashing water. The subterranean air has a placid, piercing chill, all too familiar to veteran adventurers. Suddenly, the river-carven tunnel slopes abruptly downward, and just ahead there is the unmistakable sound of a waterfall dashing down to rocks below.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Fantastic</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I did forget to mention the cloak scrap caught in the rockfall.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Which window?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): cards</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Ahh</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You can right click on it and close it </font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I moved it but can't seem to close it</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Nope, right clicking didn't. I had to click on "hand" again</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Anyway, I'm good</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: ok</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: That was for Michael's gambling in the jungle</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: On the portraits at the top do you see the Init numbers on your portraits?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): no</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): is that the little blue circle in the top left?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Was not sure if that was a DM thing or a player thing</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: That dot is suppsed to be your dice color I think</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: I show Levi with a 3 for Int</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Rothuss with a 7</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: as an example</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): no, do not see</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Which matches up to the Combat Tracker as expected</font>

Stalactites hang low from the ceiling, and the rock floor is treacherously slippery from the splashing water. The subterranean air has a placid, piercing chill, all too familiar to veteran adventurers. Suddenly, the river-carven tunnel slopes abruptly downward, and just ahead there is the unmistakable sound of a waterfall dashing down to rocks below.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: If this attack scores a successful hit, the tendrils (which are short, about ten inches long) affix themselves to the target with a strong adhesive. This initial attack causes no damage, but the bond caused by the vegetable glue is virtually unbreakable except by magical means. Once the snagwort is dead, the glue will lose its adhesive properties in 1d6 hours . The dead snagwort, in other words, will still be attached to the character for quite a while, possibly causing great inconvenience and weighing 40 pounds.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You rolled into the area, one missed, the other hit and kept you still for the other one to hit again, but your tumbling managed to avoid that</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: so you are not being held up in between the two of them to block the passageway</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: actually, priority is to not get snagged by the other plant, so Rothuss will move downstream and to the side of the plant that grabbed him, dragging the tendrils away on that side.</font>

Within a range of ten feet or so, a snagwort can lash out by swinging its ropy strand. If this attack scores a successful hit, the tendrils (which are short, about ten inches long) affix themselves to the target with a strong adhesive. This initial attack causes no damage, but the bond caused by the vegetable glue is virtually unbreakable except by magical means</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: We're following the footprints of the people that blocked the path to the church.</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): (there were people who blocked the path to the church??)</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm trying to figure out how to add the weight to my snagwort</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): click the dragon icon to the right of it</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: So... somethin' or someone came this way... how come they ain't snagged?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I did that</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: They knew the trick to getting past the plant, I guess</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Maybe if we slip, the plant will break in the fall</font>

<font color="#261A10">The tunnel drops precipitously down to a lower elevation, falling about thirty feet through a very narrow channel. There is no gap on either side of the water, and only about two feet of clearance in the channel that is not filled with rushing, gurgling water. On one side of the tunnel there is a round wooden indentation, like a door, and on the other side there is a small keyhole.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: If ya wanna take that bet, I ain't stoppin' ya.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): This door again?</font>

<font color="#660066"> -> Vee Barlett: You never looked at anything in the previous room, or the pool, or anything after coming down after the fungus ladder, you just followed Rothuss to this passageway</font>

<font color="#660066">Vee Barlett: there were other things to see??</font>

<font color="#660066"> -> Vee Barlett: No one ever looked around</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Hmm, maybe we should explore the rest of this place before we tackle this?</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: wanders back to the fungus ladder area</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Be my guest</font>

<font color="#261A10">Only a small amount of water from the waterfall is actually channeled into the pipe; the waterfall continues unchecked over the pipe, down to the cavern floor.</font>

<font color="#261A10">At the bottom of the waterfall a vast chamber extends into the darkness, echoing with the sound of the waterfall plunging down to the streambed. Drops of water fall occasionally from the stalactites above, glittering in whatever light the party carries.</font>

<font color="#261A10">The southern exit from the cavern is flanked on either side by an extraordinarily ugly plant, each hanging from the cave ceiling as if growing directly from the stone.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: I'm not willing to slide down this waterfall with an extra 40 pounds of plant stuck to me</font>

<font color="#261A10">Rothuss Carder: maybe we can wander for the couple hours you said it would take these things to fall off.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Did I say that?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): wtf</font>

<font color="#880000">Rothuss Carder: staggers off after Vee, putting away his dagger and trying to get his sabre out of its sheath.</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Um... so we explore this "vast chamber"?</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): Explore things! Ok, but then it's the same descriptions? My brain cannot.</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: grabs her two stone knives back after passing by the plants</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): The part just north of us is the dark cavern that we haven't explored yet, yes? On the same level we're on?</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: Yes to Lemon</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: and the pool at the waterfall</font>

<font color="#005500">Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): to the right looks like new territory as well, maybe. very straight line if not</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: You came down the ladder, out into the chamber, and saw the south passage and Rothuss went for that</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh... the grey is a stream and no a tight tunnel?</font>

<font color="#005500">LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ah, yes</font>

<font color="#005500">seyfert (Vee Barlett): take the lead</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Vee, you're good at noticing things, and we've got this branches stuck to us... you wanna take the lead here?</font>

<font color="#880000">Vee Barlett: walks in front of him</font>

<font color="#261A10">A small casket of wood, about six inches across, has been hidden in the bottom of the pool where it is not visible to casual inspection. The little casket has an elaborate wooden latch. Inside the box there is a wooden key.</font>

<font color="#000000">GM: When the key is used, the round door will open, diverting the waterfall through a side channel. </font>

<font color="#261A10">Concealed by the waterfall's flow, there is a wooden-runged ladder, apparently formed by natural growth of roots, leading down the cliff face where the waterfall normally flows. It is easy to descend this ladder.</font>

<font color="#261A10">Vee Barlett: Who the hell has time to rig all this nonsense up...</font>

<font color="#261A10">Levi Reed: Someone who spends a lot of time here</font>

<font color="#261A10">There is a four-way intersection here. In the middle of the intersection a large growth of wood, apparently of natural origin, divides the flow of the river into three parts, diverting it so that a channel of water runs down the center of the other tunnels, all of which slope gradually downward from this point.</font>
