'Spring' connected

BOB Hello Spring

Spring: Hi there. How you doing?

BOB Life is good

BOB Menu -> Options -> and scroll down to turn on Saving your windows from session to session

Spring: Nice

BOB Posted a capture in the Discord for everyone just now

BOB How has your holiday season been rolling along?

Spring: Well nobody stole my wallet or mode of transportation so it's already an improvement over thanksgiving

Spring: You?

BOB Life is good

Spring: Hahaha Okay. I thought those were two different questions, but I guess not

BOB and sorry for the problem over Thanksgiving

Spring: Thanks. The money stolen from debit cards was recovered but the ebike is a loss

BOB Oh man

BOB Was it at home or work?

BOB Or away to some place as those are the same for you most of the time

'Lemon' connected

BOB Hello Lemon

BOB You did not get in first

Spring: At home. My wallet was in my jacket pocket on the coat rack. It was a recent roommate who did the taking. Who had been sitting at my Thanksgiving table as though nothing was going on. I discovered the theft the Friday after.

BOB Spring beat you in

BOB WOW that sucks

Spring: I would not have suspected her but her face was on the camera at the vape store using my cards.\

Lemon (Levi Reed): I don't care about being first, just about getting here before Carissa.

BOB smiles

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh noooo, I'm so sorry Spring

Spring: The police are not making much of an effort. Guess it'll be an outstanding warrant in the event she ever gets pulled over

BOB That really sucks

Spring: It does. It's the betrayal. I thought we were becoming pretty good friends.

Spring: She'd been stealing from me for about a week according to the statements.

'Carissa' connected

Spring: I wasn't getting out much that week and didn't notice

Lemon (Levi Reed): That kind of betrayal is rough

BOB Very hard

Spring: Sat at my thanksgiving table with a straight face\

BOB And hello Carissa

Lemon (Levi Reed): ha

Lemon (Levi Reed): to carissa

Lemon (Levi Reed): Not to Spring

Spring: Hi Carissa

Spring: And I didn't say hi Lemon. Hi Lemon!

Spring: So anyway, Christmas was much improved. People liked my gifts. That always tickles me.

Lemon (Levi Reed): It's ok, I knew it was implied

'Michael' connected

Carissa: Hi all!

BOB and welcome Michael

Spring: Hi Michael!

Michael: Good Evening! How's it going?

BOB We were waiting for you so you can tell Spring what happened last week

Carissa: Hi Michael

Michael: Hey all!It's been two minutes!

BOB and then after she understands, we will try to work out what you are doing over the next 24 hours

Michael: What time is it in Florida right now?

BOB 7:03 PM

BOB game time

Spring: Since when do I need to understand? I'm a master of winging it

Michael: So....I'm three minutes in. Give me a sec! Still have to use the bathroom lol

BOB HAH

BOB and yes to Spring

Michael: Until then, we do have summaries I believe for last week

BOB You are in a cave system

Michael: Sigh. One sec. I'll trpy it out

Spring: See there we go. Summaries

BOB well Ratbone is there one round behind, but also Matty could be

Michael: Got ourselves into a scrap

Michael: Two people donw

BOB Records -> Links

Michael: Walking wounded

Michael: Stay away from Fungus stuff

Michael: Potentially enemies farther down

Michael: Or, potential allies needing rescuing

Michael: Carissa, is that close enough?

Michael: Right now, I'm hoping for rest, Cure Wounds, and keep on the right fork

BOB Michael go use the bathroom before your eyes turn yellow

Michael: I'll be drained, but our fighters will be back....fighting

Michael: Yellow?

'wyjyoon' connected

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

Michael: You know what, I don't even want to know

Michael: LOL

Lemon (Levi Reed): Also, do you get the pirate joke yet?

BOB grins

Michael: BRB

Michael: AND NO!

BOB Hello Wendy

Spring: Hi Wendy!

Carissa: Hi Wendy!

Lemon (Levi Reed): A pirate's favorite letter? Arrrrrg. R.

Carissa: And sorry was talking to family but will assume that covers it.

BOB Your family understands what is happening?

Carissa: Yes

BOB grins

Carissa: I am playing long enough for awards, then we'll go do holiday stuff, then I come back for game.

Carissa: They udnerstand that

wyjyoon: Hi!

BOB So while we have Carissa decision about where to camp

Carissa: Hello again if you missed it!

BOB go back up into the jungle and camp

Lemon (Levi Reed): I forgot about awards

Carissa: I posted all my stuff OOC. Which is good because one sec, afk

Michael: Alright back.

BOB Or try to find a place here this is an active cave system, there are foot prints and you made checks before that indicated that there is some/one/thing taking care of places, plants, etc. down here

Lemon (Levi Reed): Why is spring RED???

Lemon (Levi Reed): That's a new color

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Yeah I have no idea

Michael: Hold on, missed Cariss'as updates. One sec

BOB You will have to try to make it through almost 24 hours before your two walking wounded can be healed

BOB Options should be there for everyone Lemon and Spring

BOB the color right above the option to save windows

BOB posted it in the Discord

BOB You should be able to pick your color there? I think

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, you posted it, but with no indication of what it meant

Lemon (Levi Reed): But yes, I just chose pink so

wyjyoon (Temperance): There was a post on the discord?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I totally don't remember what color I was

BOB Sorry Wendy different I will post it to you

Carissa: (back)

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ah, no worries! Thanks

BOB Camp in the jungle Or try to find a place here this is an active cave system, there are foot prints and you made checks before that indicated that there is some/one/thing taking care of places, plants, etc. down here

Michael: I recommend leaving for now. We know how to get back here. We can campt back at the location of the rockslide. Normally, I wouldn't be for this, but I hate cave systems in Real life, I hate them in Fake Life. I'd like to get our guys healed up as best as possible, and even attempt to keep a low profile to avoid trouble as much as possible. This is my thoughts. If Carissa will be "out" then I nomintate this course of action. Lemon and TMO would be great for their opinions as well since we are basically knights of the round right now on our coucil voting

Carissa: (back)

Michael: And yes, I did think about this this week

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Sorry. Trying to drag the window

Michael: I don't feel comfortable in an unknown cave system, with parents of this baby monster coming back

Michael: potentially

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm fine with that, but we have to figure out how to get out

Image: Cave on the path up to the church

Carissa (Vee Barlett): We have the Rat Twins with full health and Vee once I'm playing

Michael: So, when is that timeframe Carissa? Not trying to rush you, but we are lmiited on options with fewer characters. I'm fine either way, but want to nail down a rough estimate :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): If you leave, stay in the cave or you'll get multiple encounter rolls in the Jungle. Cave entrance is likely safer

BOB Cave you will get just as many or more encounters

Michael: Hm, if the waterfall has resumed, this may not be possilb

Michael: And Bob, if we pray to your hard enough as supreme deity of the pantheon, can you just let us live for another day?

Michael: :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): You don't know what the fungus structures are where the shambling mound was and if they can be climbed, what the box was, or what the staff does

Carissa (Vee Barlett): And where do I find the color thing??

BOB Options menu

Michael: Exactly, I don't know what those do. Better the devil I know

Carissa (Vee Barlett): found thanks

BOB image posted

Michael: And how the hell do I get this card deck window closed. The options for THIS window don't allow me to, even when unlocked

BOB Right now you have a live mule

Carissa (Vee Barlett): P.S. Lemon, guess who has rainbow diceeee

Spring (Ratbone Carder): And for grins and giggles I'm trying out the Sidebar menu type and I rather like it.

Vee Barlett: Smelting the dice down, forging new ones, and giving them a test roll! [10d4+10d6+10d8+10d10+10d12+10d20 = 325]

wyjyoon (Temperance): I didn't even know rainbow dice was an option

wyjyoon (Temperance): That's so pretty

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm sorry, what, when did you get those

BOB for purchase

Lemon (Levi Reed): And how do I get them

Spring (Ratbone Carder): ooooooooooooooooooooo

Lemon (Levi Reed): Why didn't anyone tell me!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Xmas present!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): You have to buy the pack

Vee Barlett: Smelting the dice down, forging new ones, and giving them a test roll! [10d4+10d6+10d8+10d10+10d12+10d20 = 343]

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Michael, Side Menu is in the Options section just above the part about maintaining windows between sessions

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Also, in the side menu you can more easily get rid of the card window

Michael: Thank you Spring :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): click Hands for it to go away

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or do that

Image: Cave on the path up to the church

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Otherwise you have to right click it and unlock it

Spring (Ratbone Carder): or that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I don't know, I'm on laptop so I'm not trying to do much FG

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'm only here for like 15 more minutes sooooo

Michael: Yeah, that works for every other window, which was why it was irritating me :) Thatn's Spring :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Wow, I'm at a quarter of the sessions?

BOB Hello JTom

Michael: Yes, that's what happens when you are 100 percent for 4 out of 6 years :D

Spring: it's taken me like 14 years to get where you got in 6

Michael: TMO can fact check that percentage :)

BOB and yes to Carissa, have to have the awards be lower because it would double some of the character's XP

BOB So it is it all porportional

Michael: Wait what?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Grading on a curve, got it

Michael: She deserves it though

Michael: Even I'm not denying that

Michael: And I'm an asshole

BOB End of each Era I award the Story Chat XP and Summary XP

BOB As well as things like the November story award

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm fine with you leveling faster than me

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Well then that's less fun

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Not that I'm competitive, but you bring the worst out of me

BOB grins

Shislif (MeLange): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Somehow I think that's what every competitive person says : )

BOB TMO is almost in and will be here to help organize/decide about camping

Shislif (MeLange): how do we know if we leveled up or not?

BOB Vee could make any checks you feel appropriate

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Swimming [MOD:STR] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 11]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): maybe

-> Vee Barlett: Vee can see that this is an active cave system with "things" walking and moving around so if you camp down here you have to be ready to defend your selves all day long

Spring: [d100 = 76]

Spring: [d8 = 2]

Vee Barlett: If we camp here, we're gonna be on the defense for the whole time. Ain't sure that's smart.

Spring: Mine look kind of dowdy in comparison now

Shislif (MeLange): just wanna practice rolling before we start

Vee Barlett: Lots of walking around on this main path. See?

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 13]

-> Vee Barlett: Vee could guess because the waterfalls were flowing that upstream from both of them would be the hardest for things to get to from inside the caves

Temperance: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]

Vee Barlett: Or set up trip wires.

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 3]

BOB Levi does not get skill check

Michael: BRB. This is really frustrating> going to log out and back in. This is a really obnoxious window

Lemon (Levi Reed): oh, I forgot

'Michael' disconnected

Lemon (Levi Reed): Damn, those were some good rolls, too

Vee Barlett: Upstream from the waterfalls might be best 'cause it's hardest for things to get to from inside the cave.

MeLange: Levi think you can make it there?

'Michael' connected

Vee Barlett: Anyways, uh... I don't think I'm over that bug yet just... gimme a minute....

Vee Barlett: rushes off

MeLange: been there before

Carissa: and with that, be back in an hour or so, good luck!

'Carissa' disconnected

Shislif (MeLange): have fun!

-> Lirtimya: Lirt can guess becasue water flows downhill that all three of these passageways go deeper into the cave system

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]

MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 14]

BOB Temperance cannot make checks

MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 6]

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, I remembered that belatedly

Shislif (MeLange): just practice rolling

BOB No worries

Lirtimya: Well, since water runs down going upstream would also be a good idea, assuming we don't want to go deeper

Shislif (MeLange): like the wall the dice rolls off seems to change sometimes?

MeLange: I think upstream would be for the best

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm sorry, I refuse to do anyting else until I figure out which pack is rainbow dice. I tried to use the TMO link but I don't think it worked.

Shislif (MeLange): lol

BOB The TMO link just takes you to the Smitworks page where you then log in

BOB and then you go to Shop Bundles and Dice Packs

wyjyoon (Temperance): Carissa cast the rainbow spell and left lol

Shislif (MeLange): practice rolls coming!

BOB That is the listing of all the various types of dice

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes but NONE OF THEM SAY RAINBOW

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Yeah I'm looking at these packs and I dunno which one has the rainbow

BOB No they do not

Spring (Ratbone Carder): My guess would be Knots of Fate but unsure

Shislif (MeLange): do you need to roll over chat or can you roll anywhere?

BOB have to roll over the chat box

Shislif (MeLange): cool

BOB For them to count

BOB Checking for you Lemon and Spring

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I think the ones I have are Ring of Elements

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Oh no I take it back, I have Aura

MeLange: [SKILL] Ambidexteriy (vs. Target 0) [FAILURE by 17] [d20 = 17]

Michael (Jericho): I have both lol. I like them a lot, but don't often use them

MeLange: [SKILL] Ambidexteriy (vs. Target 0) [FAILURE by 15] [d20 = 15]

Michael (Jericho): Now, are we figuring out what to do?

Ratbone Carder: (LINK)

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Yes, Knots of Fate

MeLange: [SKILL] Ambidexteriy (vs. Target 0) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 2]

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Well that didn't work

Ratbone Carder: (LINK)

<a href="https://www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=SWKKNOTSOFFATEDICE">(LINK)</a>

Lemon (Levi Reed): The link worked

MeLange: [SKILL] Ambidexteriy (vs. Target 0) [FAILURE by 14] [d20 = 14]

wyjyoon (Temperance): There were two votes for moving upstream, I think

MeLange: [SKILL] Ambidexteriy (vs. Target 0) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 4]

Lemon (Levi Reed): Upstream is fine, we just have to figure out how to get up through the waterfall

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Look at the last image in the gallery for Knots of Fate

Shislif (MeLange): i think three if y ou include Vee

Jericho: Carissa thinks we should be okay when she gets her characters back in unless I missed something

Michael (Jericho): Carissa thinks we should be okay when she gets her characters back in unless I missed something

Lemon (Levi Reed): Actually, even if this isn't rainbow, I kind of want it. They're really pretty... oh, I see the rainbow now

Lemon (Levi Reed): Thank you!

Michael (Jericho): But I vote for upstream too

Michael (Jericho): Cave mouth if possible. If the waterfall is blocking, then we don't go that way

User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)

Levi Reed: Look, she will argue this with every fiber of her being... but sometimes Carissa is wrong.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Fair enough

Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc

Michael (Jericho): hehehe

Michael (Jericho): I think we are in a bad way for two characters, and I don't particularly want to go spelunking in an unknown cave system with clearly hostile creatures within

BOB The Group is currently at the four way intersection

Lemon (Levi Reed): But yes, everyone seemed to be fine moving back up at least one cavern, but how are we getting up there?

BOB You have that 30 foot waterfall to find a way up

Michael (Jericho): Climb up the way we climbed down

Michael (Jericho): NM

Michael (Jericho): Didn't realize we waterslided down

Michael (Jericho): My bad

BOB Ratbone is there at the top

Shislif (MeLange): maybe one of our rangers could sneak around and scout the area first?

BOB Telling you that Matty is still up top with the mule

Michael (Jericho): Lemon? What say you for a Ranger doing some quick look arounds

wyjyoon (Temperance): The mule survives

Shislif (MeLange): Maybe Ratbone could drop a rope? Tie it to a tree or something?

Michael (Jericho): Just for a quiet place. Or, we go back up the rope

BOB Levi is walking wounded

BOB cannot make checks

BOB cannot use skills

Michael (Jericho): We can sling him in the rope

BOB cannot attack, defend, etc

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, no. Up at the top, there is a way to turn off the waterfall temporarily.

Shislif (MeLange): should i do an alertness check?

Lemon (Levi Reed): But we are down at the bottom and do not currently have that option, as far as we know

Michael (Jericho): Good point Lemon

Shislif (MeLange): how can we let Ratbone know we need him to turn off the water then?

Jericho: Hm. Shout really loud?

Michael (Jericho): Hm. Shout really loud?

Lemon (Levi Reed): In theory, there's probably a way to shut it off again, because otherwise no one would ever be able to get out

Shislif (MeLange): good theory

Michael (Jericho): Or more likely, there is an alternative exit

Lemon (Levi Reed): But also, I have the key, and how will I get it to Ratbone?

Shislif (MeLange): Hmm a lot of good points being made

'TMO' connected

Michael (Jericho): Also a good point. First we should ask, Does Ratbone have a rope in his inventory?

Shislif (MeLange): throw it really hard?

Michael (Jericho): If not, I vote go deeper

BOB And here is TMO

Lemon (Levi Reed): Also Ratbone is a girl

Shislif (MeLange): hopefully the mule has some rope in there?

Lemon (Levi Reed): And I have a rope

Michael (Jericho): Sorry, typing fast

Lemon (Levi Reed): And Vee left her rope up at the top

Lemon (Levi Reed): So there's plenty of rope

Michael (Jericho): Then I'm fine with that

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm willing to give the key and rope to anyone who wants it, I just don't have any ideas for what to do with those things

Lemon (Levi Reed): Other than investigating that other area near the shamble, that had some kind of wooden box contraption. That's the only idea I got, but there might be encounters there

Lemon (Levi Reed): But TMO had an idea

Shislif (MeLange): Zayden was a really good climber too bad he's not around

TMO: "idea" :) Sure, we can call it that.

Michael (Jericho): OK. We are talking in circles unless I'm mistaken in which case I apologize. Let's order our operations. First, return to waterfall. See if Ratbone can toss rope, or shut off the water. If cannot, then it iwll be risky ascending. Can we agree on that much so far?

Lemon (Levi Reed): I didn't say it was a good one

BOB You are at the waterfall

Shislif (MeLange): hey no judgement in brainstorming

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ratbone CAN toss rope, Ratbone does not have key.

BOB Ratbone at the top Rottuth as the bottom

Lemon (Levi Reed): We could tie the key to the rope and she can pull it up?

Michael (Jericho): Can we communicate with Ratbone

Michael (Jericho): YES to Lemon :)

Michael (Jericho): What I was aiming for

Ratbone Carder: BRB

'Spring' disconnected

Michael (Jericho): What what?

Michael (Jericho): No, we need her

Michael (Jericho): lo,l

Lemon (Levi Reed): Let's let TMO try whatever he's been thinking about all week first?

Michael (Jericho): Sure :)

Lemon (Levi Reed): I kind of want to see it. It sounds hilarious

Shislif (MeLange): do Ratbone and Rothuss have like a psychic connection they can communicate through?

Michael (Jericho): Sorry TMO, lol, got caught up in the moment

Lemon (Levi Reed): Also, I'm logging out now so I can get my rainbow dice in. brb

'Spring' connected

'Lemon' disconnected

TMO (Rothuss Carder): will not try until he's been de-planted. Definitely won't work with that weighing him down. So if an alternate solution is found before that, go for it.

'Lemon' connected

Rothuss Carder: Why would we have a psychic connection?

Michael (Jericho): Bob are they deplanted yet?

BOB For everyone who is newly Dice Obsessed reemember those are yours for ever, in what ever game you log into.

Shislif (MeLange): well if the choices are camp and wait to be attacked, or move around and hopefully find something useful, even if some of us are weak, I say we go for it

Lemon (Levi Reed): I would think we'd be able to shout over the sound of the waterfall

BOB Also Lemon you need to tell Josh thank you for that

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Lemon (Levi Reed): I definitely am going to

Michael (Jericho): Can anyone look around first, to perhaps see if there is a lever or contraption around the bottom of the waterfall that could turn it off? You never know

Michael (Jericho): I dont' have good checks for that though

Shislif (MeLange): yea if we have a scout/ranger that could move around quietly that'd be useful me thinks

BOB And to Michael's question, it has been about 3 turns roughly 30 minutes and the glue on the plans lasts hours

Shislif (MeLange): Mel has Alertness which could help

Shislif (MeLange): but no sneaking around stuff

Michael (Jericho): For fudge sake. Why not just camp here?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hi TMO!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Hi sis! How ya doin'

Shislif (MeLange): well because it seems like we made a lot of noise and there may be other monsters on their way to tend to their now dead baby that we murdered

Spring (Ratbone Carder): so far so good, you?

BOB The reason Carissa was saying not to camp here in the four way intersection is that people/things/something apparently goes through here regularly

BOB and you have to try to camp/hangout for almost 24 hours

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, we followed foosteps and have evidence of monsters soo...

Shislif (MeLange): that's true, we could also camp somewhere safer

Michael (Jericho): No I know that. I'm sorry I was being exasperated because we couldn't come to some sort of decision. That is my fault

BOB It seems you have a decision

Shislif (MeLange): go upstream and camp?

BOB Go up at least one if not both waterfalls

Lemon (Levi Reed): If we just get up the one waterfall, we should be ok. I don't expect much will come in from the entrance, and the waterfall will shut off if someone comes up from the bottom

Michael (Jericho): Then start clmibing with those Plants, no key at the top, and not sure if Ratbone can hear us

Michael (Jericho): I think that's not a bad idea Lemon

BOB If you go up both waterfalls you have access to the outside as well

Lemon (Levi Reed): It's a ladder going up if we shut off the waterfall

Lemon (Levi Reed): We should be fine

Michael (Jericho): OK. So what rolls do we need to make for Bob

BOB Give TMO a chance to explain his thoughts

Shislif (MeLange): seems to be encouraging us to go up both waterfalls, maybe worth it?

Lemon (Levi Reed): And up the second waterfall is an easily accessible ladder that we don't need any tricks to figure out

Michael (Jericho): TMO, Bob has spoken. I know you are "planted" but I'm down to hear it :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): Nature will release you at some point or another

Lemon (Levi Reed): So let's let TMO try his thing, and then if that fails, let's wait for Ratbone to come to us to try and figure out what's taking so long, and let's ask her to toss one end of the rope down so we can tie the key to it

Michael (Jericho): Nah, h'es a bit tangled at the moment

Michael (Jericho): Cool.

Michael (Jericho): Sounds good :)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Looking at my new dice just for fun

Levi Reed: [d12 = 1]

Levi Reed: [d20 = 15]

BOB Also Michael take a deep breath..... you have several sessions of caves ahead

Michael (Jericho): Bob, of all the things to say, you very much shouldn't have said that one

BOB grins

Ratbone Carder: [d100 = 36]

BOB It is just like telling a woman to just relax right?

BOB That always works

Michael (Jericho): . . . . .

Ratbone Carder: Ahem. What Is Taking So Long?

BOB lol

Shislif (MeLange): she talking to the mule?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): What I was thinking was to explain it to Bob right before attempting it, so he didn't waste a huge amount of time overthinking it. :D Do not tell me the penalties to the roll, because Rothuss is not factoring that into his plans at all. :D Even if it's -25 penalty to his roll and impossible. I'll just explain the plan, Bob will mentally judge its ridiculousness and assign a penalty, and I'll roll. And probably fail.

BOB Ratbone is at the top of this waterfall you are at

Ratbone Carder: shrugs

Ratbone Carder: shouts down

Ratbone Carder: What. Is. Taking. So. Long?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Ratbone being up there does probably mean she can drop a rope for someone to climb easier.

BOB Go for it TMO

Levi Reed: WE FOUND A FUNGUS MONSTER!

Ratbone Carder: EW!

Ratbone Carder: DO ANY OF YOU WANT TO COME UP? NEED A ROPE?

Shislif (MeLange): are they talking? is this working?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I believe so?

-> Temperance: Biology would let you know it is a Shambling Mound

-> Levi Reed: Biology would let you know it is a Shambling Mound

Ratbone Carder: makes a big pantomime of dropping a rope

BOB TMO is still typing also for his idea

Ratbone Carder: [d20 = 14]

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Right. Tumbling is basically Parkour, without the training to go up walls. Rothuss has a basic 50% chance to climb walls. Expeditious Retreat cast on himself adds 5' to his vertical leap *and* triples his movement rate. Backing up, casting Expeditious Retreat on himself, and then desperately attempting to Tumble *up* the waterfall against the flow.

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I just wanted to look at my pretty die

Temperance: When you say biology do you mean the botany NWP or... I may need more clarification

Levi Reed: I don't have biology?

-> Levi Reed: Yes Botany

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Well that sounds complicated

Levi Reed: oh

Shislif (MeLange): tumble up the waterfall you say?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): that is what I say

Shislif (MeLange): ballsy!

-> Temperance: yes Botony

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it sounds *exceedingly* complicated

Lemon (Levi Reed): I like it

TMO (Rothuss Carder): and should be an entertaining failure

Shislif (MeLange): it's crazy enough... it just might work :)

Michael (Jericho): I picutre Link from Ocarina of Time doing a forward roll up a waterfall

Spring (Ratbone Carder): sounds like a fancy way to get a concussion

TMO (Rothuss Carder): yes, yes it does

BOB lol

Shislif (MeLange): Also sounds like Mac stuck in the pool "I do backflips every single day of my life!" lol

TMO (Rothuss Carder): that's why I don't want to know the penalties in advance. He can pretend it'll succeed up until it doesn't?

Temperance: Yes, okay. But I can't use any skills until I heal, right? Or it's just knowledge gained before being tackled by a 4ft Shambling Mound?

-> Temperance: yes basic knowledge with no check

Temperance: Great. Thank you!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I don't know if he can Inspire himself to add to his chances, but he'll try to psych himself up

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes please

Ratbone Carder: WHY DON'T I DROP A ROPE ANYWAY AND ANYONE WHO CAN'T USE IT, JUST MAKE RUDE SIGNS?!?!

Rothuss Carder: IS THERE SOMETHING TO TIE IT OFF ON?

The time is 8:00 AM

Michael (Jericho): (The Mule. It can even pull us up)

Levi Reed: LOOKS LIKE ROTHUSS HAS AN IDEA... SO YEAH, PLEASE DROP ONE END OF THE ROPE... THERE'S A KEY TO SHUT OFF THIS WATERFALL, AFTER HE KNOCKS HIMSELF OUT, I'M GOING TO TIE IT TO THE ROPE AND YOU CAN PULL IT UP AND TURN THIS OFF SO WE CAN GET OUT

Ratbone Carder: WAIT, I DON'T HAVE A ROPE?!?! WHAT'S THE POINT OF A KIT WITH NO ROPE?

Levi Reed: USE THE ONE VEE LEFT UP THERE!

Michael (Jericho): Slaps his face at the conversation out of sight of the group

Ratbone Carder: OH!!!

BOB There was rope on the mule, Ratbone can use that

BOB Or Vee's also

Jericho: Slaps his face at the conversation out of sight of the group

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Rope Use [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 11]

Michael (Jericho): (sorry, not OOC)

Ratbone Carder: getting the rope off the mule, tying it off on a tree trunk, sending the loose end down

Spring (Ratbone Carder): getting the rope off the mule, tying it off on a tree trunk, sending the loose end down

BOB Also to encourage even more dice maddness, you can asign different colors and combinations to different rolls, so attack can be one, skill checks can be different, etc.

BOB No tree trunks down here

Spring (Ratbone Carder): heaven help us

BOB you are there in the cave

Michael (Jericho): WOAH. I dind't kno w you could do THAT

Michael (Jericho): No, I mean tie the rope to the mule's harness, and have it pull us up

BOB Mule is up on the surface

Michael (Jericho): Miners did that all the time during mine collapses for the main shaft

BOB two waterfalls away

Michael (Jericho): Sigh. Bob. Let me explain

Spring (Ratbone Carder): well i guess i'm tying it to me

Michael (Jericho): Unless I'm mistaken, in which case I apologize

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, so there's like, the cave entrance, then a waterfall with a fungal ladder next to it. That goes down into a second cave, with a trick waterfall that has to be shut off to be able to climb down to the third cave

Michael (Jericho): The mule is at the top correct?

Michael (Jericho): Oh, sorry Lemon

Lemon (Levi Reed): We are in third cave, Ratbone is in second cave, mule is on the top

BOB Up top on the surface

TMO (Rothuss Carder): *someone climbs the rope and drags Ratbone over the edge and onto their head* ;)

Michael (Jericho): Then, yeah, I guess it cannot

Michael (Jericho): So if this is going to be immensely complicated, which might result in a fall death, then honestly guys....

Lemon (Levi Reed): Omg, no, just give Ratbone the key

Lemon (Levi Reed): This is so easy

wyjyoon (Temperance): We could tie the key to a rope we have down here and try to throw it up?

Lemon (Levi Reed): She's still holding one end

Jericho: Here Ratbone, you will need this! Good luck

Jericho: Takes Key with Smile

TMO (Rothuss Carder): She can lower the rope, we tie the key to it, she brings it back up

Jericho: Passes it to Ratbone

Lemon (Levi Reed): No one even needs to throw anything

Jericho: Passes it to Ratbone

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh ok cool

Lemon (Levi Reed): You guys, stop making it complicated lol

BOB smiles

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm Avril Lavigne over here right now

Ratbone Carder: THANKS FOR THE KEY!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): chants "COMPLICATIONS! COMPLICATIONS!"

Jericho: We aren'tmaking it complicated. We have five people all saying the same, but different things

Michael (Jericho): We aren'tmaking it complicated. We have five people all saying the same, but different things

Ratbone Carder: looking around for the shutoff

Michael (Jericho): This is why text is sometimes difficult

Rothuss Carder: it is

Levi Reed: THERE'S A DOOR NEXT TO THE WATERFALL

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it is

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.

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.

Ratbone Carder: puts the key in the keyhole and gently tries to turn it

Ratbone Carder: my luck, i snap this sucker right off in the lock

Michael (Jericho): BRB, my voice is adding to the confusion, and I believe the call of the restroom is on the horizon :)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): "Miiiiiiichaaaeeellll.... Come pee in me, Miiiiichaaeeeellll...." - the toilet

BOB So Jericho ties off the key to the rope, Levi yells up to Ratbone and she uses the key to turn off the waterfall

Lemon (Levi Reed): ewww

Ratbone Carder: (singing) turn, turn, turn, little key

Lemon (Levi Reed): Fantastic

Lemon (Levi Reed): We did it

Ratbone Carder: please turn off the water for me

Levi Reed: Let's goooooo

BOB So the waterfall is off for a short bit

Levi Reed: climbs up the ladder thingy

Rothuss Carder: Alley up, everyone!

Ratbone Carder: OKAY THERE YA GO HURRY!

MeLange: follow Levi up the ladder

MeLange: glad to be out of there!

Temperance: nods silently in agreement

Levi Reed: No alley, Rothuss, just the same cave as before

BOB So Rothuss and Jericho are at the bottom

Lemon (Levi Reed): So do we want to camp here, or go up one more level?

Rothuss Carder: goes up the ladder after Jericho

BOB AND now Rothuss can make an encounter check

MeLange: Come on Jeri!

Lemon (Levi Reed): I feel like this seems fairly safe BUT we are trapped if something comes in, so... I leave it up to you

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Michael went afk, remember? :)

BOB Which is why Rothuss has to make the check, grins

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm all about checks

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Write me a few, would you?

BOB Checks party mix

TMO (Rothuss Carder): do we assume Jericho goes up with Michael afk?

Shislif (MeLange): brb need a snack

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Rothuss Carder: pushes Jericho to climb

BOB Her ego wrote cheques incredibly fast But her personality didn't have the cash

BOB Watching her leave, I heard the bartender say She ain't pretty she just looks that way

BOB Rothuss can make any checks he thinks will help then can make the encounter check

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.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): what situation am I rolling on? Pushing Jericho up the ladder? Climbing the ladder when the waterfall turns back on? Getting ambushed by the rear by the Alien?

BOB potential ambush

TMO (Rothuss Carder): So... yeah... this is the guy with no Alertness and no Observation NWPs... :D

BOB Does Jericho?

Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 8] [d20 = 17]

BOB and Jericho would be a no also

Michael (Jericho): I am now back

Spring (Ratbone Carder): well heck

BOB So Rothuss can roll a d20 for the encounter

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i'm glad you are back, not glad you have no way to check

Rothuss Carder: [d20 = 8]

Michael (Jericho): Sorry, had to go pretty bad

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it do happeen

Spring (Ratbone Carder): first things first.

BOB So Rothuss gets a feeling that there is something large coming from the "east"

Spring (Ratbone Carder): a very wise person told me never to try to do anything important when you need the toilet

Michael (Jericho): I wholeheartdestly agree, and now we are about to die, but I definitely feel good while it happens.

BOB Look what happened to Tywin Lanester

Spring (Ratbone Carder): no spoilers!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i'm only just now watching it

Michael (Jericho): Nah, my dog would kill me......okay Spring lol

Jericho: Boy ohy boy are you in for a wild ride.

Jericho: Boy ohy boy are you in for a wild ride.

Michael (Jericho): Boy ohy boy are you in for a wild ride.

Michael (Jericho): good lord

BOB HAH

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i am apparently in for a wild ride

BOB In any case who is going up first Jericho or Rothuss

Michael (Jericho): I recommend skipping the lat season

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Jericho

Michael (Jericho): Uh, why?

BOB Dex check

BOB for Jericho then

Michael (Jericho): Hm. I'd like to negotiate for a middle finger?

Jericho: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 7) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 10]

Rothuss Carder: Up you go, choir boy!

Michael (Jericho): Sigh

Spring (Ratbone Carder): for a finger or WITH a finger?

Michael (Jericho): Either

BOB THUD

BOB He slips and falls in his hurry to get up

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Can I soften his fall so he doesn't take damage?

GM: [2d6 = 4]

Michael (Jericho): I'm not in a hurry. I know my Dex

BOB taking 4 points of damage

BOB You are in a hurry so Rothuss does not get eaten

BOB You can try again now

MeLange chuckles a little

Michael (Jericho): Bob, if you want a dex, Rothuss would be better

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm willing to split that damage with him

Michael (Jericho): I will NEVER get pass a Dex score

MeLange: Come on Jeri you can do it!

Temperance: blinks at the echoing thud

Michael (Jericho): No, I honestly don't think it's possible

BOB Jericho has to climb a wet ladder up 30 feet and get out of the way in time for Rothuss to also do the same thing before what ever is coming up that hallway reaches this area

Michael (Jericho): Bob, I have a 7 for Dex

Michael (Jericho): TMO, calc the odds?

BOB Then try to get something for help

Michael (Jericho): Hm...like what bob?

Rothuss Carder: Just climb the ladder. No rush, no hurry, hand over hand. It's simple.

Jericho: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 7) [FAILURE by 8] [d20 = 15]

Jericho's health adjusted by -4

Ratbone Carder: can we get that rope down to him?

Jericho: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 7) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 7]

MeLange: Breathe Jeri!

BOB You understand every time you roll and fail it is a 2d6 points fo damage for falling

GM: [2d6 = 10]

BOB so you take another 10 points

Spring (Ratbone Carder): crap

BOB but you make it to the top

MeLange: We got a lot of wounded people here you need to save Jeri!

Michael (Jericho): Well bob, should I just stand around with my in my hand whlie someone is coming up to kill us?

Jericho's health adjusted by -10

BOB and pass out

Michael (Jericho): Or should I wait ten minutes while we debate how to get him up with something coming down the hall

MeLange chuckles

MeLange: oh Jeri

Temperance: brows furrow in slight concern

Temperance: What happened?

BOB You could have waited for someone to tie a rope off or for Rothuss to help you or something instead of just randomly rolling dice because you are frustrated

BOB But right now Jericho is up top

Michael (Jericho): Bob, you made it quite clear something is going to eat Rothuss if we didn't get a move on

MeLange: he got frustrated n' his poor little heart couldn't take it

Michael (Jericho): What would you have me do? This wasn't frustration, this was desperation

MeLange: he just needs a little lie down, he'll be fine, better than being down there that's for sure

BOB BUT he hit his head and is now unconcous luckily he did not go below zero so he is not walking wounded but he did lose all the rest of his spells for the day

BOB Now Rothuss can try

Shislif (MeLange): oh great so now he can't heal us?

Rothuss Carder: Expeditious Retreat

BOB Correct to Sharif

Rothuss Carder: Climbs the ladder at triple speed

Shislif (MeLange): well that's good news

Michael (Jericho): Sucks when one of you has 7 dex? We can plan for that in the future

User has gone AFK. (Spring)

Jericho's health adjusted by +1

wyjyoon (Temperance): Healing can come later, I'm glad Jericho made it to the top!

BOB Dex check for Rothuss

MeLange: Hey Rothuss, maybe a good idea to get out of there?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): probably shouldn't have burned the spell without whatever it is actually in sight, but oh well

Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 6]

BOB ZOOMS right up and out

BOB in fact so quick and fast make a pick pockets check

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Pick Pockets [PERCENT:Pick Pockets] (vs. Target 30) [FAILURE by 55] [d100 = 85]

wyjyoon (Temperance): He's a runner, he's a track star

BOB He reaches out to twist the key but misses

Lemon (Levi Reed): Eh, in theory we're about to camp anyway so

User is back. (Spring)

BOB But Ratbone can take care of that for him

The time is 8:15 AM

Spring (Ratbone Carder): do you need me to make a pick pocket check?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): btw, the game did re-open all the windows I had open before, but I had to open the Characters menu and select Rothuss to activate him.

BOB Now you are all in that cave

BOB good to know TMO

BOB Now you can take a moment and think

Rothuss Carder: zips to the other side of the cave

MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 17]

BOB for example Melange is NOT walking wounded so he can use his strength to LIFT up someone with a rope up the next water fall

BOB Or things like that

Shislif (MeLange): there ya go

Shislif (MeLange): could he just throw them up maybe?

BOB Just have to go careful and get opinions from everyone

Spring (Ratbone Carder): does he have rope use? or shall Ratbone use Rope Use to help him?

BOB for example no one has asked JTom at all for advice or help so far

Shislif (MeLange): Hey JTom, what do you think?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Oh, i know better than to do that. :P

BOB hah TMO

Ratbone Carder: well we usually just shout out our ideas but asking is also something we should do

Spring (Ratbone Carder): well we usually just shout out our ideas but asking is also something we should do

BOB and Ratbone turns the waterfall back on

BOB so that might help stop things from coming up that way

Spring (Ratbone Carder): indeed, yes, i did that

MeLange: good idea Ratbone

Lemon (Levi Reed): The next part is fungal ladder, but seems like it was easy to climb, and only Jericho is currently unconscious, yeah?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I do not know what to do, I have rope use and such if we need it

Spring (Ratbone Carder): cool. rope use and your strength could help a lot

BOB Jericho is walking around at 1 HP

BOB He has no spells but is not walking wounded

Lemon (Levi Reed): I thought you said he was uncounscious

BOB he was knocked out

Spring (Ratbone Carder): maybe he has regained by now

BOB and it just takes a few moments to recover and shake it off

BOB He went to exactly zero

BOB so not walking wounded as that means below zero but no spells because that means below 1

Spring (Ratbone Carder): that sounds uncomfortable

Jericho: Jericho cast a spell NOT memorized.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, so let's just all climb back out

Jericho: Jericho cast a spell NOT memorized.

Jericho: [CAST] Nap

BOB Levi and Temperance are walking wounded

Levi Reed: Let's go check on the mule and camp with him, eh?

Michael (Jericho): On Levi

BOB Jericho and Melange are at 1 hp

BOB Jericho cannot cast spells

Michael (Jericho): Sorry, Melange

Michael (Jericho): Oh right

Shislif (MeLange): Sounds good to me, pretty early though

Shislif (MeLange): what for?

MeLange: Sounds good to me, pretty early though it's still morning

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.

Levi Reed: Well, I have had enough for one day man... I can't really do much until I rest up this injury

MeLange: I know I just worry about your internal clock, you could be up all night

Levi Reed: Perfect, I'll keep watch at night

MeLange: Circadiaan rhythms, you don't wanna mess with em

BOB So with no rush you can make it up this ladder and into the outer cave

The time is 8:30 AM

MeLange: no rush guys, nice and easy!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): what do you mean, 'no rush'? I'm rushing *everywhere*!

Levi Reed: calmly climbs ladder

Levi Reed: looks around for the mule

MeLange: Follows Levi, enjoys the fresh air

Temperance: climbs up the ladder and glances around

Spring (Ratbone Carder): follows the others

Ratbone Carder: follows the others

TMO (Rothuss Carder): will go up last, and fastest (unless the spell wears off first, not sure how long it lasts)

MeLange: Glad to be out of that hole, I am a bit bummed we didn't get to find out what the box did. What was in the box you know?

Ratbone Carder: shrugs

Ratbone Carder: wish i knew

Jericho: Who cares

Levi Reed: I mean, we can go back in and check it out later, but I gotta rest first

MeLange: This one book said that until we open the box, anything could be inside. makes ya think

Ratbone Carder: anything? genies? dancers?

Levi Reed: We have to go back in anyway, the path is still blocked by the landslide, unless something incredible has changed in the last half hour

MeLange: could be

Jericho: Didn't that have something to do with lepords MeLange?

Jericho: Confused

Ratbone Carder: a rhinotopus?

MeLange: What about Leopards?

BOB Nope the path up and around to the church is still blocked by a landslide

Michael (Jericho): Leapords in boxes

Jericho: Leapords in boxes

Jericho: Wasn't that book about if the Leopord was in the box or not?

Jericho: Been awhile

MeLange: oh right!

Ratbone Carder: i heard if it fits, it sits

Lemon (Levi Reed): more coffee brb

Jericho: Snaps fingers

User has gone AFK. (Lemon)

Jericho: That's right

MeLange: it's both!

Jericho: That was the title

Jericho: Some sort of philisophical title about dimensions

MeLange: yea yea

MeLange: anyway

MeLange: maybe we should rest up Jericho, then you can heal Levi and maybe me too?

Jericho: Absolutely. So, what are we going to do for oh, 12 hours?

Ratbone Carder: i can't believe it's still morning

Jericho: Until we can rest?

MeLange: why can't we rest now?

Michael (Jericho): Because daylight doesn't replenshi spells. Just ask Lemon.

Shislif (MeLange): ah ok

Shislif (MeLange): I believe you :)

Michael (Jericho): you'll get a lecture, so just trust me :)

BOB 22 hours

Jericho: Well, how far back was the landslide?

Michael (Jericho): There you go

Michael (Jericho): Like Clockword

BOB you are AT the landslide

Shislif (MeLange): that's how long we have to wait?

Jericho: Looks for birds

BOB This is the jungle area just south and above it

Jericho: You see any birds MeLange?

MeLange: Checks on Parry the Mule

BOB to the left where that stream is headed is into the caves

MeLange: looks up at the trees and sky

MeLange: [SKILL] Animal Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]

Rothuss Carder: I wonder what the mule would look like with a hat on?

Jericho: My vision is a little blurry from my concussion, do you see any sort of animals?

MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 8]

-> MeLange: Many parrots

MeLange: Nah I don't see any

MeLange: Just a bunch of parrots

Jericho: .....

Jericho: Uh, Thank you MeLange

Temperance: listens in on the conversation with mild amusement

Jericho: Can you point me?

MeLange: Uh,you're welcome Levi

MeLange: pokes Jericho

MeLange: sure no prob

Jericho: I have no response to that MeLange

Lemon (Levi Reed): Is the mule still here or no?

MeLange: laughs

BOB yes Matty took care of the mule before wandering off

MeLange: points

MeLange: the parrots are over there

Jericho: Squints. Thank you MeLange

Levi Reed: Good. I don't care so much about the mule, but I DO love to prove Carissa wrong

Jericho: Can you grab some crackers out of my bag?

MeLange: what's the big deal anyway? What you need parrots for?

Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc

Jericho: Please?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oooh, parrots!?

MeLange: I mean you're legs and arms are still working right?

Levi Reed: Oooh, parrots!?

Jericho: ...Fair enough

MeLange: your

Levi Reed: I love parrots. The ones that can say stuff especially

Jericho: Stumbles to the Mule, grabs some crackers and an apple

Jericho: Puts apple in front of Mule

Levi Reed: I once taught one to tell my sister to... well, just trust me, ti was great

Jericho: Walks over to the parrots and tosses crackers at the ground

Jericho: Goes back to cave and sits down

User has gone AFK. (Spring)

MeLange: Could have offered us some

Jericho: Reaches into his pack, and tosses jerky at MeLange

BOB Parry is on the map again for you

MeLange: catches Jerky

Michael (Jericho): Go for it MeLange.

MeLange: hey thanks

Jericho: Go for it MeLange.

BOB such a good name, wonder what that means

Jericho: I have a concussion

MeLange: tears Jerky in two and gives half to Levi

Temperance: muffles a chuckle at the antics

Jericho: Turns head an vomits

MeLange: munches on Jerky

Levi Reed: eats

Jericho: Ow

MeLange: whoa what happened to im?

Jericho: I have a concussion

Jericho: Did I already say that?

Jericho: I feel like I'm repeating myself

Temperance: A side effect, I believe

Jericho: I'm just gonna lie down for a ommoent

Temperance: Please do

MeLange: concussion?

Jericho: Mubmles into the ground. there's more jerky in my pack. Give some more crackers to the parrots throughout the day please

Jericho: Don't sacre them off

TMO (Rothuss Carder): woulda been avoided if Bob had let me break your fall. :P

MeLange: Hey just wondering, like... if he's got a concussion should he really be going to sleep? we used to get a lot of those in the strong man games

User has gone AFK. (Spring)

Temperance: Head trauma can cause nausea, from what I've heard

Michael (Jericho): Shrugs

User is back. (Spring)

Levi Reed: Are people with concussions supposed to sleep?

Temperance: Sleeping is probably not the best.

Michael (Jericho): Bob's gonna bob. He was right, but I do hate caves. No one seems to listen to me about that

Levi Reed: Or you gotta keep them awake?

Levi Reed: I can never remember which one

Temperance: But he can lay down.

MeLange: I think so ya, that's what they used to do in the games.

Levi Reed: Everyone listens to you, but we have to do the cave

MeLange: Cool people would just call 'The Games'

Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc

Jericho: [SKILL] Healing [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 17) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 13]

MeLange: The strong man was implied

Michael (Jericho): Sleeps on side, so as to not choke on his own vomit

Jericho: Sleeps on side, so as to not choke on his own vomit

MeLange: lightly kicks Jericho on the bottom

Temperance: approaches Jericho and taps his shoulder

MeLange: hey, wake up!

Temperance: Don't go to sleep

Jericho: I swear to god, if you deign to lecture ME on medical advice, you may dunk back into the cave

BOB It is 830 AM no sleeping to regain healing or spells until 800 PM

Jericho: Yeah, but I stay out of troublez

Michael (Jericho): Yeah, but I stay out of troublez

MeLange: It's not gonna help you Jeri

BOB And then you can sleep through the night and in the morning heal and regain spells

Rothuss Carder: goes into the stream to see if he can wash the glue off the plant

Jericho: Let's go waltzing in the Jungle with us desperatly injured then. I'm sure we'll turn out just fine!

Jericho: Grumbles

Levi Reed: Anyone bring any cards?

GM: [2d4 = 6]

Ratbone Carder: why don't we just have second breakfast and ... HAHAHA\

Jericho: Dice second bag on the Mule

BOB After 6 hours the glue comes off

Jericho: Grumbles

Ratbone Carder: i was just about to suggest cards!

MeLange: Goes to the river and fills his waterskin with cold fresh water

BOB so 2 PM for Levi and Rothuss

Ratbone Carder: or charades

Temperance: picks up the crackers from the ground

Levi Reed: Two truths and a lie?

Shislif (MeLange): if I eat any rations does help health?

Ratbone Carder: ooh that's a good one!

Jericho: Those are for the damn Parrots, please leave them alone

BOB no to sharif, sleep for healing or spells

Rothuss Carder: Hey, if I cut my skin away where this stupid plant is stuck, Jericho can heal them in the morning, right?

Shislif (MeLange): cool

Jericho: I woulnd't recommend it Rothuss

Ratbone Carder: just leave it brother

Jericho: Come here and let me look

Ratbone Carder: leaf it

Temperance: You asked somebody to pick them up so the parrots can be fed. And while I'm no expert, maybe Levi might be interested.

Rothuss Carder: But it's annoying!

Jericho: Then come here dammit

Jericho: Grumbles

Jericho: [SKILL] Healing [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 17) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 13]

Jericho: [SKILL] Herbalism [2] [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 18]

BOB Jericho does get skill checks

Levi Reed: tries to hand-feed some parrots

Jericho: Hm. You can sit in the water. Might help. I don't know of any poisons we have on hadn to speed up the process

Jericho: Gently pull while the water goes over it and let me know if it gets better or worse after 30 minutes

-> Jericho: It would be a significant injury to cut off that much skin to remove that plant/fungus from his body

Rothuss Carder: Poisons?!

Jericho: Yeah, plant killers?

Jericho: We don't have any on hand

Jericho: Also, to simply cut off that much skin would kill you

Jericho: I wouldn't be able to heal you

Rothuss Carder: Oh, okay. I thought you meant for me.

Jericho: Uh...no.

Jericho: You could always gently torch sections with fire if you aren't clumsy with it

Shislif (MeLange): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Levi Reed: He can't stand to lose ten inches of skin?

Jericho: Don't know if it would work, but would be good for research

BOB Someone with a good dex

Jericho: Winks

Rothuss Carder: Tempting, but I don't think I'll play with fire.

Jericho: Don't say Dex for the rest of the night

Michael (Jericho): Don't say Dex for the rest of the night

BOB lol

Levi Reed: I'm just going to lay down and rest my eyes

Rothuss Carder: will sit and soak in the stream and try to gently pull the frond away from his skin under the flowing water.

Rothuss Carder -> Lirtimya: Bring all your dishes out please

BOB Letting you get calm and relaxed Rothuss slowly soaking and eventually about 2 PM getting the fronds to finally let go

BOB LOL with TMO an JTom

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it was convenient. :)

Jericho: About 2 PM, goes and drops more crackers for the Parrots

Michael (Jericho): Are the eating them?

BOB and you do have Ratbone, Rothuss, Lirt at decent hit points, and Melange and Jericho both at 1 but able to contribute

BOB until Vee gets over her morning sickness

TMO (Rothuss Carder): her what now?

Michael (Jericho): No comment

Jericho: Looks to see if the parrots are eating the hard crackers

BOB Temperance and Levi are walking wounded so can only talk

The time is 8:45 AM

The time is 9:00 AM

BOB and it is only 9 am

BOB still 5 hours of soaking for Rothuss and Levi

Jericho: ...you said about 2:00 PM the fronds released. Are we not there yet?

Michael (Jericho): ...you said about 2:00 PM the fronds released. Are we not there yet?

Michael (Jericho): Ah

Michael (Jericho): OK

Michael (Jericho): Then I'll wait till then for the next Cracker Round

BOB You have been out of the caves for about 30 to 40 minutes so far

Rothuss Carder: You know, this is actually kind of relaxing once you just decide to stop worrying about it

Jericho: Worrying about what now?

Rothuss Carder: just lying in the stream over here, watching the clouds go by

Jericho: Oh

Jericho: Cocks head

Rothuss Carder: waves a frond in the air

BOB How I learned to relax and stop worrying about the atom bomb

Levi Reed: This is pretty nice. Very relaxing. I'm sure something will try to kill us soon

Rothuss Carder: That seems to be our pattern

Michael (Jericho): The Atom Bomb, the Atom Bomb, that Atom Bomb, the Atom Bomb baby, back with a smile

Rothuss Carder: checks the sky for eagles.

Levi Reed: Hey, you priests, did the church tell you anything about this misty church? If we ever get in there, what should we expect?

Jericho: No, and No idea

Jericho: Goes to sit in the stream

Ratbone Carder: AUGH i can't get the custom dice set up.

Jericho: Sighs

BOB What was Jericho's mission?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i was trying to backspace that and nevermind, but i hit enter

Michael (Jericho): To bring them something I vaguely recall, but my notepad is in my RV and I don't want to go get it. I can pull up my Notes real quick

BOB Spring when you are in the dice panel drag the die you want into the place you want it to roll

Rothuss Carder: Sit upstream of me, Jericho, unless you're going to pee. Don't want one of these fronds to get on you.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Lost shipment of something or other

Spring (Ratbone Carder): tried that

Spring (Ratbone Carder): tried a LOT of things, but that was one of them

Michael (Jericho): Uh, I wouldn't pee on you Rothuss, give me a little credit. I mean, unless you were on Fire

Michael (Jericho): And that was the only other option

Levi Reed: Can they do that? They seem kind of like a ride or die plant...

Levi Reed: And they've already ridden and hopefully they're about to die

Rothuss Carder: Oh, it's dead, but the glue is still sticky.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Can we not have a single session where nobody talks about peeing on something? lol

Michael (Jericho): Still just as funny as the first time :)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): this is a party of juvenile delinquents, mostly male. The answer is No

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

Michael (Jericho): Ah, here it is. Brewing mats that weren't delivered

Michael (Jericho): We need to investigate/bring back.

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

Michael (Jericho): I guess Amazon Support didn't work for them right Lemon? Especially since they raised the price for their Prime Video with no ads

Levi Reed: Ok but a pirates favorite letter is R

Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc

Lemon (Levi Reed): arrrrrrrgh

BOB So you have who to defend the group if (when) something comes out of the jungle to attack you

BOB You know if they come out of the caves they come from the left of the map

BOB and up that stream

BOB other than that, who knows

BOB So think out what you want to do to be prepared

Lemon (Levi Reed): Not I, I'm practically dead

Jericho: Is there a perch up the landslide a litte where we can camp? Maybe with a view of the surrounding area?

Michael (Jericho): I as well

BOB You can climb maybe but not the mule and not the walking wounded

BOB Levi and Temperance are walking wounded so not able to do most things, can talk and help with ideas

Lemon (Levi Reed): Lirt is still good, right?

BOB 21 hours to go

Jericho: Can anyone see any more secluded areas around here where we could lay low and maybe go unnoticed except by the local wildlife?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Looks like it's up to her!

BOB Yes

BOB and for Jericho that would be up to your rangers

BOB one is walking wounded

Michael (Jericho): Yes, that is why I am posing the questions

BOB the other has morning sickness

Michael (Jericho): I have abosultely no other rolls

Michael (Jericho): No spells

Michael (Jericho): There is the little contrubtiion I can do, but no one has yet engaged

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh dang, what if Ruffus... no, it's too horrible to contemplate.

BOB I am sticking with that until she comes back

BOB Everyone should be talking with each other

BOB asking

BOB contributing

Michael (Jericho): Sigh

Rothuss Carder: So I've heard a couple of you all repeating the "What is a pirate's favorite letter?" joke a few times. You know you're all wrong, right?

Lemon (Levi Reed): I just want to know if Michael gets it yet

Ratbone Carder: strummy strum strum

Michael (Jericho): I just want to find a safe place to lie low at the moment.

Ratbone Carder: it's the C

Ratbone Carder: pirates are in love with the C

Rothuss Carder: Yep! All pirates true love is the C.

Michael (Jericho): Yeah, I still don't get it

Michael (Jericho): But seriously, let's prepare

Ratbone Carder: blink

BOB Brandy your a fine girl, what a good wife you would be, but my life my love and my lady is the sea

Lemon (Levi Reed): Pirates say ARRRRGGGHHH MATEY

Michael (Jericho): Google explained it. It's funny.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Like the letter r

Michael (Jericho): NOW let's prepeare

Lemon (Levi Reed): I don't know if it's funny, but I DID want you to get it

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm open to ideas, but I don't have much to contribute, being almost dead and all

Michael (Jericho): I recommend checks for a clearing away from this area, perhaps with only local wildlife that can bother us to reduce the amount of risks

Ratbone Carder: (singing) lord, lord, how are we so bored

Michael (Jericho): And with that, that is three suggestions. I am off to get a drink and some ice

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss is available to defend, but as Levi demonstrated, until this frond is off, he won't be much use.

Ratbone Carder: they're sick but not dying, it can't be ingored

Lemon (Levi Reed): I can't do any checks, but anyone else feel free

Shislif (MeLange): Mel can defend too but one hit and he's down lol

BOB and I will repeat you have one ranger mostly dead and one ranger with morning sickness

Rothuss Carder: stretches, and begins to recount some semi-interesting local history, if anyone wants to hear it.

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 10]

BOB for the examples of searching for a different place to defend

Ratbone Carder: listening to brother, for a change

Michael (Jericho): Ok

MeLange: where do you guys think would be a good spot to defend? Just in case something or someone attacks?

Michael (Jericho): Then I guess we'll plop our asses (get it?) down on the ground

Michael (Jericho): Oh, is a Mule an ass?

-> Rothuss Carder: Rothuss knows that other than normal animals like leapards or panthers the other very bad thing would be goblins, mountain men, or a chupacabra

Ratbone Carder: playing incidental music to accompany brother's history lesson

Michael (Jericho): So, we can't go up, we can't go down, we can't look around for a clearing

Jericho: So, we can't go up, we can't go down, we can't look around for a clearing

BOB Intersticial interludes between pledge breaks

Jericho: Where do we look for an out of the way place?

Rothuss Carder: Put the gear in the middle of the group, with people all around, so there's nothing tempting to an animal.

Jericho: Uh...wouldn't we just get in the way if a Jaguar leaps for it?

Lemon (Levi Reed): No one said we can't look around

Lemon (Levi Reed): Just the rangers can't do checks

Lemon (Levi Reed): So someone else needs to look around

Jericho: We could pile it, and then stay a short distance so to get the drop on anything

Jericho: Stumbles to his feet

Levi Reed: We could always light a fire

Levi Reed: Fire scares a few things

MeLange: they also tell people where we are though

Rothuss Carder: That peak over there is pretty steep, not ann easy climb. Goblins are suppsoed to live in some caves near the base of it.

Jericho: At this point Levi, I would be fine with a fire. Anyone who might come looking for a fire can at least be hopefully spoken too

MeLange: that's fine, just wanted to bring it up

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: It's a valid point

Jericho: I just don't know what else we can do about it

Ratbone Carder: I'm with MeLange

Jericho: We are in a pretty desperate situation

Jericho: Fine

Ratbone Carder: but also, wild things. which is more likely?

MeLange: probably wild things

Jericho: Goes over to Parry, begins brushing him down

Rothuss Carder: Leopards or panthers, goblins, mountain men, or chupacabra.

Jericho: Whispers to him about caves, birds, and apples

Ratbone Carder: well all of those sound awful

Jericho: [SKILL] Veterinary Healing [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 5]

Jericho: inspects hooves for rot

Jericho: Keeps brushing down

Levi Reed: Leopards and panthers aren't too bad, they're normally just looking for food

Levi Reed: Easy enough to feed them or chase them off

BOB Parry is in good shape, it has only been two days, he is in good spirits for a mule

Jericho: Smiles at Parry

Jericho: You doing good huh?

Jericho: No sign of wear on your hooves

Jericho: More apples then normal

Jericho: You're a great help!

Jericho: Scratches behidn the ears

Rothuss Carder: Does he talk back to you?

Jericho: Sometimes

Rothuss Carder: She?

Jericho: Not right now

Jericho: Whispers conspiritorialy, knowing full well the mule cannot understand: "I don't suppose you have a cool lair where we can hang out for awhile"

Jericho: Sighs and Pats gently

Jericho: Well, what are we doing. Daylight's burining. We can stay here, we can move, we can do fires, we cannot do fires. What's our plan

Jericho: We have limited options, multiple injuries,

BOB You have one spell caster you have Jericho and Melange who are weak but can do things, then you have Rothuss and Ratbone for the primary attackers/defense

Jericho: Great....help guys please?

Michael (Jericho): Great....help guys please?

BOB Then Levi and Temperance walking wounded

Shislif (MeLange): R&R

Michael (Jericho): I'll do literally anything, but my rolls are garbage for this type of situation

Spring (Ratbone Carder): you've got bards for defense

BOB and Vee off with morning sickness

MeLange: what you need help with Jeri?

Michael (Jericho): I need us to figure otu the game plan, so we can prepare

Jericho: I need us to figure otu the game plan, so we can prepare

TMO (Rothuss Carder): is that a cliff or steep slope over to our right?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): or a plateau on top?

BOB Yes to cliff to the right

MeLange: oh yea that sure

BOB Drops down

Michael (Jericho): Thank you for that clarification

TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, down, not up

Spring (Ratbone Carder): is that the cliff with the goblins rumored to be at the base?

Rothuss Carder: Probably not this close to the church, but you never know.

BOB no that is the rest of the mountains

MeLange: well I think it's a good idea to camp at the top of a hill if we can, gives us an advantage incase anything approaches

Lemon (Levi Reed): No thank you to goblins... Levi will try to attack them and he can't do anything

wyjyoon (Temperance): And we can't follow the river up, right? Since there's a landslide?

Rothuss Carder: If we move over to the cliff's edge, that limits the number of directions things can come at us.

Jericho: Look. Here's just a suggestion. Why don't we all who can walk, just pick a direction and walk for five minutes. Whoever finds the best place, come back and we can discuss?

BOB correct landslide up past the top of the map

Rothuss Carder: Worst comes to it, just roll down the hill away from danger.

Levi Reed: It also means things can easily push us off a ledge while we're sleeping

MeLange: that's fine by me, but the cliff idea also sounds good since we know they won't come from at least one direction

Rothuss Carder: Well, if you want to be pessimistic about it...

Ratbone Carder: well unless we are keeping watch

MeLange: yea we'll have watches

Rothuss Carder: If we stay here by the stream, a warship could come floating by and hit us with catapults.

Levi Reed: I mean, if that's what you guys want to do, I'll go with it, but it seems if we're going to trap ourselves against a cliff edge, we might as well have trapped ourselves in between two waterfalls

Levi Reed: I admit I don't know much about defense though

Levi Reed: That's Vee's department

Rothuss Carder: Can't get teh mule down the ladder to join us in the cave.

Ratbone Carder: it looks like there's a path that goes to the foot of the cliffs. we could put our backs to that\

Levi Reed: Hopefully that orange guy didn't knock her up

MeLange: camping by the river is also not a terrible idea

Jericho: Vote

Jericho: We are voting right now

Jericho: Camp in Cave, Camp Here, Or camp Elsewhere

Jericho: Let's establish that First

GM: (POLL)

Lemon (Levi Reed): I don't actually want to go into the cave again right now

Lemon (Levi Reed): But Levi is dumb

Shislif (MeLange): how do we vote for the three options?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I can't tell how to vote for what i'm voting for

Michael (Jericho): Far left is Camp in Cave, Far Right is Elsewhere. Middle is right here

Spring (Ratbone Carder): thanks

Shislif (MeLange): plus we'd have to leave Parry behind if we do cave option

Lemon (Levi Reed): Can't people look around the area and roll wisdom or int or something to see if they notice a good defensible area?

Rothuss Carder: If we move out to onto the promotory here, with the stream on 3 sides, how does that sound to our resident defense experts?

MeLange: I like that idea

Ratbone Carder: not an expert but i like it

BOB There?

Levi Reed: Sounds good to me

Shislif (MeLange): yea

Levi Reed: I don't even care at this point, I just need to rest

TMO (Rothuss Carder): where I put Rothuss

Levi Reed: Everything hurts

MeLange: there there Levi

Jericho: Great, it's decided.

MeLange pats Levi on the back

Jericho: Can Perry get to that point?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, there's a better one to the south once I zoomed out

TMO (Rothuss Carder): there

Shislif (MeLange): cool by me

Jericho: Is that a good bridge?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): and it's awa from the road. i like that

Michael (Jericho): Examines the bridge for Parry's sake

Jericho: Examines the bridge for Parry's sake

Ratbone Carder: why is everyone going over there?

MeLange: Our camping spot

Jericho: That's where we are camping right?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Rothuss was demonstrating where. Not Vee

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it's easy to confuse us

Spring (Ratbone Carder): you're both so lovely

TMO (Rothuss Carder): we're both devilishly handsome and overwhelmingly masculine. :P

The time is 9:30 AM

Michael (Jericho): Honestly, if we keep North, we can be tucked agains the mountain, and be farther away from the road. Where you two are, are two road crossings

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Wherever is fine by me.

BOB scale is correct,

Michael (Jericho): Just oging to move my character as suggestion> if nay, i'm fine with you guys

Shislif (MeLange): what about to the right of Melange then?

Ratbone Carder: i am now at point whatevs, so yes

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i am now at point whatevs, so yes

Shislif (MeLange): 2nd

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i cannot do keyboard at all tonight

BOB Not quite 100 feet from the end of the bottom of the cliff to the stream where Rothuss is

Lemon (Levi Reed): Same Ratbone. Same.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Stream doesn't seem wide enough for warboats to come at us, either

TMO (Rothuss Carder): goblin warboats, maybe?

Michael (Jericho): If Goblins don't have night vision, I have a shuttered lantern for lights, and we'll forego a fire. Fair compromise?

BOB It is 930 AM

Michael (Jericho): Were tucked farthere from both roads, backed agains the mountain, and against a stream

Ratbone Carder: we should be able to have a fire since it's broad daylight, if we manage not to make much smoke

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 16]

Jericho: We all established?

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Detect Noise [PERCENT:Detect Noise] (vs. Target 25) [FAILURE by 20] [d100 = 45]

Lemon (Levi Reed): I think so

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm fine with fire or no fire, really don't have a preferance

Jericho: Now that we're somewhat tucked out of sight, let's discuss our game plan

Ratbone Carder: Smelting the dice down, forging new ones, and giving them a test roll! [10d4+10d6+10d8+10d10+10d12+10d20 = 310]

Lemon (Levi Reed): But I'm sure any second now Vee will show up and tell us what idiots we are for whatever we chose

Jericho: I'm not going back in the cave

Jericho: Tomorrow, after healing as much as I can, I'm going to the Parrots to speak with them

Ratbone Carder: of all the options available, this location sucks least

Jericho: I have no idea if they can give me the answers I want

Jericho: But I want to ask if they know a game trail or something up the rest of the mountain

Jericho: If they don't fine, but I'm not going back in the cave

Jericho: Too many unknowns, and four of us got our asses handed to us

Rothuss Carder: "The Priest Who Talks to Parrots" ... wonder if I can make a story out of that?

MeLange: I think this is a great spot!

Jericho: Mine, by just falling

MeLange: water view, usually gotta pay extra for that

Jericho: .....

Jericho: Night

Ratbone Carder: laughs

BOB grins

Jericho: Lays down on the mat, and lazes about

BOB Jericho is is 9:30 AM

Michael (Jericho): So?

BOB chuckles just a reminder when you say night

Ratbone Carder: drpos leaves into the water to watch them go downstream

TMO (Rothuss Carder): you mean, 9:30 AM *at night*

Michael (Jericho): I say Night, as in, I'm done discussions. Call me if you need me

Michael (Jericho): In the game

Michael (Jericho): Otherwise, I'm catching up on paperowrk

BOB and so who wants to make that encounter check?

Ratbone Carder: [d20 = 8]

Spring (Ratbone Carder): or was it supposed to be d100?

BOB d20 is correct

Levi Reed: Well, you can always stick around and watch the mule, but the church and Vee will have your head if you don't follow through on YOUR task

BOB does anyone have alterness? observation?

Shislif (MeLange): sure

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 18]

Jericho: I didn't say we wouldn't do it Levi, I said I'm not going into a Cave. Very different things

MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 2]

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 13]

Shislif (MeLange): nice

Levi Reed: Well it might be the only way to the church is through the cave

Levi Reed: So it might be the same thing

Jericho: Besides, I need Vee for support right now, and I don't really have it. I'd offer a physical, but she WOULD have my head if I asked

MeLange: but what an entrance!

Ratbone Carder: gods forbid!

Jericho: There is always another way Levi. I gaurantee it

Jericho: If I have to painfully climb the landslide, I will do it, even if we have to leave poor parry behind

Jericho: I can't go back in there

Levi Reed: Man, if I knew how to write, I would write that shit down right now in case you need to eat those words later

MeLange: Relax Jeri

MeLange: And that's cool to say cause you're a guy

Orrian Terrawater: HELLO THERE

MeLange: wha what?!

Ratbone Carder: yelps in startlement

Jericho: It would seem we have been spotted

Jericho: Grumbles

Temperance: turns at the sound of the voice

MeLange: oh right

Ratbone Carder: hello?

MeLange: could be friendly

MeLange: hi there!

MeLange: waves

Jericho: Hello!

Orrian Terrawater: Who are you?

Levi Reed: At least it can talk, that's a nice change

Jericho: Waves

Jericho: Well, I would say we've been better

Jericho: but

BOB No one is visible on the path

Rothuss Carder: Who wants to take point as ambassador?

Jericho: Probbaly not what you mean

MeLange: Well I'm MeLange

MeLange: and who are you? If we may ask?

Michael (Jericho): MeLange is doing good :) Polite and kind

Orrian Terrawater: I am Orrian

Ratbone Carder: Ratbone and my brother Rothuss

Jericho: Jericho

Ratbone Carder: gestures at Rothuss

MeLange: And this is Levi

MeLange: points

Orrian Terrawater: There are a lot of you

Levi Reed: No, I'm Lance

Jericho: Sorry

Jericho: ?

Levi Reed: Your concussion must have gotten the better of you, friend

Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi has started just giving fake names to everyone.

MeLange: I like to think we have just as many we need

Ratbone Carder: i'm sorry, did we disturb you, Orrian?

Jericho: We can camp elsewhere, we don' tmean to cause trouble if that's the issue

Orrian Terrawater: I am not in trouble

Orrian Terrawater: you might be

Rothuss Carder: Probably.

Rothuss Carder: kicks back and relaxes under his plant.

MeLange: And how is that, Orrian?

Jericho: Oh good. I was thinking we had caught a break and the fates decided to slap me down

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Orrian Terrawater: I am not sure who you really are, and why you are here

Jericho: You can ask

MeLange: well you haven't asked us

Michael (Jericho): lol

Levi Reed: We seem to be always in trouble, despite our best efforts

MeLange: Like Jericho said

Ratbone Carder: Well we are a bunch of nobodies

Jericho: Uh

MeLange: Um

MeLange: I clearly have a body

MeLange presents his abs

Jericho: We are making sure the Temple of the Mists is ok. It appears a landslide has blocked the path

Jericho: What the heck guys?

Orrian Terrawater: That is a bad thing I agree

Orrian Terrawater: For you

Jericho: Shrugs

Jericho: It's already been quite bad

Jericho: Trust me

'Carissa' connected

Jericho: You here to rob us?

Jericho: Kill us?

BOB Welcome back Carissa

MeLange: There any way you could help us Orrian?

BOB glad you are over your morning sickness

Jericho: We don't mean to be short, but we're having a rough day

Ratbone Carder: Or any way we can help you?

Shislif (MeLange): oh dang Orrian in trouble now

Orrian Terrawater: That is the first nice thing you have said

Jericho: I'm sorry, I'm just a doctor Orrian. I can't help you if you are already ok

Orrian Terrawater: Everyone always wants wants wants

Jericho: What else can we do for you?

Orrian Terrawater: but she is ready to help

Jericho: Wait what?

Ratbone Carder: yeah i hate when people are like that. i'm sorry we come off that way

Jericho: We did?

Jericho: Sorry Orrian, that' wasn't our intent

Ratbone Carder: is there something we can help with?

Michael (Jericho): god tone is so effing hard in text games

Orrian Terrawater: The plant men are causing all sorts of problems

Michael (Jericho): I mean, here we are to rescue the Temple of Mists if they need help, but we Take Take Take

Ratbone Carder: are the plant men the ones responsible for the sticky plants?

Rothuss Carder: Big fungus people? Met one already.

Jericho: Yeah, not very nice

Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, technically you're paying off your debt so... you did take take take :P

Jericho: They hurt pretty badly

Ratbone Carder: pointing at brother's skin

Orrian Terrawater: That is an easy thing

Orrian Terrawater: Wait until they start to eat you

Ratbone Carder: oh no!

Michael (Jericho): Oh I agree Lemon, but rescuiring temple people was just a kindness I thought we were doing. Technically we did our part. The shipment didn't arrive because of a massive landslide. But, we aren't assholes, so we want to help. I DO hate leaches

Rothuss Carder: This thing is going to eat me?

Jericho: Wait what?

Rothuss Carder: I thought it was dead.

Orrian Terrawater: Not those things

Jericho: It looked like the tendrils were lossening

Jericho: Oh

Rothuss Carder: Oh, good.

Orrian Terrawater: The walking ones

Ratbone Carder: i think it's the plant men who want to eat us

MeLange: Rather not run into more of those

Ratbone Carder: that sounds horrible

Jericho: Well, we are in a bad way right now, but we'd be happy to help you with them if we can?

Jericho: Hesitatnt, as if not sure we can handle it

MeLange: Do they come out here? On the surface?

Orrian Terrawater: Those priests who want to be so mysterious

Rothuss Carder: Mysterious, or Mists? or both?

Ratbone Carder: listening actively

Jericho: Listening

Rothuss Carder: Sorry, carry on.

Orrian Terrawater: Only at night do the mushroom men walk

Levi Reed: Do the mushroom men talk?

Orrian Terrawater: I don't know, I have not ever let them catch me

Jericho: Did they cause the landslide?

Jericho: Did the preists cause this?

MeLange: well there goes our camping idea

Jericho: Yeah

Jericho: Glumly

Orrian Terrawater: I do not know who caused it

Orrian Terrawater: I just need to stay safe from the mushroom men and the priests

Jericho: Brow furrowed

Jericho: The priests want to harm you?

Jericho: Voice a little aggressive at the injustice

Orrian Terrawater: Priests are alway trying to make you do things

Jericho: Like what?

Jericho: I just want to heal people. What are they doing to you?

Orrian Terrawater: Go do this, Fetch that, act this way, give us that

Levi Reed: Yep, that sounds like them

Jericho: Levi?

Ratbone Carder: power to the people

Jericho: Do I?

Jericho: Looks horrified

Jericho: I don't want to be anything like that

Levi Reed: Not you, but your preisthood is why we're out here right now man

Jericho: Fair enough

Levi Reed: Otherwise I'd be relaxing at a tavern

Jericho: Yeah, I owe you guys big time

Carissa: (again)

Jericho: Well Orrian, is there anything we CAN do to help you?

Ratbone Carder: so i don't know how to repel mean priests

Ratbone Carder: but maybe we can root out these mushroom men somehow

Jericho: We won't tell the priests you were here if that's what is wrong. I just wanted to make sure they were still alive

Orrian Terrawater: Don't tell me what to do

Jericho: Puzzled

Orrian Terrawater: Don't let the mushroom men cause problems

MeLange: Is it up to us?

Jericho: I...wasn't telling you what to do?

Jericho: I am so confused

Jericho: whispers to Levi

Rothuss Carder: I think that's one of the things we can do to help him. Not tell him what to do.

Levi Reed -> Jericho: I don't know man, maybe the fungus attacked his brain

Ratbone Carder: well okay let's don't do that

Rothuss Carder: On it!

Jericho: Well we won't tell you what to do. Would you be alright if I made sure you are okay? I can do a diagnostics check

Jericho: While not telling you what to do of course

Ratbone Carder: and in the meantime, Orrian, do you happen to know where the mushroom men happen to occur the most often?

Orrian Terrawater: I am going to go along to finish my checks

Ratbone Carder: oh okay

Levi Reed: Or any way to repel them?

Orrian Terrawater: The mushroom men walk at night

Jericho: Can you tell us a safe place to rest?

Ratbone Carder: thanks!

Orrian Terrawater: I am looking for the good mushrooms

MeLange: there are good mushrooms?

Orrian Terrawater: They help you see the real world

Carissa: (acid trip)

MeLange: nice

Lemon (Levi Reed): "They mostly come out at night. Mostly."

Ratbone Carder: oh those mushrooms

Rothuss Carder: Oh. *That* kind of mushroom

Michael (Jericho): I'm at my limits guys. I think I'm going to log for th enight. I'm confused, not thinking straight, and am in a really sour mood. You don't deserve my attitude tongiht. HUGS everyone

TMO (Rothuss Carder): g'nite!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): huge hugs!

MeLange: Starting to like you Orrian

TMO (Rothuss Carder): take care!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Rest well!

Lemon (Levi Reed): Goodnigth Michael!

'Michael' disconnected

Shislif (MeLange): hugs good night!

BOB and no further words from him

Shislif (MeLange): Orrian or Jericho?

BOB and now Vee is back from her episode of morning sickness

Spring (Ratbone Carder): so if we can't rest in the day, we can't prepare for the night, when the enemy comes, so we're effed

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (uhh hope not, she definitely uses protection - she knows better)

Shislif (MeLange): I don't wanna be effed

Spring (Ratbone Carder): we're depending on BARDS for defense

wyjyoon (Temperance): So are the mushrooms also not flammable?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (this is just regular sickness)

Shislif (MeLange): so we have no way to h eal?

Shislif (MeLange): i know dumb question

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, this kind of problem is well beyond my game experience

Carissa (Vee Barlett): someone catch me up?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): the soonest we can mount any offense/defense is tomorrow night are we're bored as hell already

Image: jungle multi-pack 002.jpg@Pathfinder RPG - Pathfinder Flip-Map - Jungle Multi-Pack

The time is 10:00 AM

Effect ['Cover90'] -> [to Rothuss Carder]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we're in the jungle? not the cave?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): the walking wounded can't heal until they've rested. also i think those who hit 0 can't either

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Yes, the mule is up here.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Roth, Rat, and Vee are full health

Lemon (Levi Reed): You're already caught up. We got out of the cave, but something was chasing Rothuss and Jericho and Jericho hit head a bunch of times or something on the way up and got knocked out, but we made it out. Then we moved to this spot on the jungle, and that guy came to talk to us about the mushroom men.

Spring (Ratbone Carder): yes we wanted to rest in a safe location

TMO (Rothuss Carder): but we can go back down.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Lirt has ...one spell?

Shislif (MeLange): Yea we're out of the cave and basically just waiting and trying to find the best spot to camp, but this dude Orrian just stopped by and said the mushroom monsters come out at night, so we can't even rest anymore

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Jericho hit is head and got knocked out?

Shislif (MeLange): but also that there are good mushrooms out there

wyjyoon (Temperance): He was knocked out briefly, but came to

Spring (Ratbone Carder): not really. jericho kept trying to climb

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah he took a lot of damage trying to get out of the cave

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well that's a thing

Spring (Ratbone Carder): if you fail your dex while climbing, you get damage. he didn';t realize

Lemon (Levi Reed): But anyway he's not here now so... irrelevant for the moment

Spring (Ratbone Carder): and tried several times

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if we're already out, why not keep walking? we have daylight to kill to get further away

wyjyoon (Temperance): There's a landslide, from what I've been told

Shislif (MeLange): walking is a good idea

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Landside was to get into the cave, right?

Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, we can keep walking through jungle but then we have jungle encounters... and still mushroom men? I don't know

Carissa (Vee Barlett): How far is town from here?

Shislif (MeLange): but then where to?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Landslide was to get to the temple

BOB No town

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Rat Twin Hometown we passed at some point, more than a day's walk?

BOB Landslide on the path between you and the Church of the Mist

Carissa (Vee Barlett): How long did it take us to get from the fishing house to here?

Shislif (MeLange): oh yea we wer discussing if there was an alternative path to the church or if we'd have to go back into the caves

BOB not on this path, but yes you could go backwards and then towards there,

BOB you are on your second day,

Carissa (Vee Barlett): My initial vote was to remain in the cave, but since we're already out of there, might as well start walking somewhere safer

Carissa (Vee Barlett): If we hit town, we can get healing potions perhaps

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Maybe come back more prepared

BOB you walked camped in the fishing shack (leapard attacked) and the next morning found the landslide blocking the path to the church

Lemon (Levi Reed): I was also good with the cave but then something started chasing Rothuss and Jericho on the way up the ladder so we skedaddled

Spring (Ratbone Carder): oh right, forgot about that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Makes this whole thing longer, but whatever. We're out. And maybe not safe to camp nearby so scrape finishing this quick apparently

BOB There are no towns that you know about that would have a church

Carissa (Vee Barlett): No but someones have a gram who probably makes good nourishing food :P

Lemon (Levi Reed): So go back to the house we camped at the night before?

BOB You are up in the mountains now

Lemon (Levi Reed): There were no mushroom men there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): How far to house versus how far from Rat Twin's hometown?

BOB Would have to pass the place you camped last night

Lemon (Levi Reed): yes but how far

BOB past that to the Carder village? at least most of a day

Carissa (Vee Barlett): That would be more encounters, yes?

BOB Yes

BOB More encounters no matter what

TMO (Rothuss Carder): we have encounters either way

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Yes but we should limit them if we can

Carissa (Vee Barlett): If we go to the fishing house, potentially less encounters?

BOB You can go there and hole up

Ratbone Carder: if the encounters can be outside while we are inside, that could be good

BOB Or continue to the Carder home

Carissa (Vee Barlett): then maybe we do fishing house

Carissa (Vee Barlett): up to Spring and TMO. We can always visit your home on the way back, too

Lemon (Levi Reed): The fishing house encounters seemed pretty managable with just those who were on watch, but... we might have gotten lucky

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i think we are still exiled, but that's a different kind of fun

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it is an island so we have less ways for anything to get across, too

Lemon (Levi Reed): It seems like the safest option at the moment

Carissa (Vee Barlett): short and guaranteed safe

Carissa (Vee Barlett): might as well

Lemon (Levi Reed): Like nothing sounds GOOD per se, but that seems safest

TMO (Rothuss Carder): sounds fine to me

Lemon (Levi Reed): With our current knowledge

Spring (Ratbone Carder): yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Did Michael use up all his spells before he logged off?

The time is 11:00 AM

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think he can't use spells at the moment because of his head injury

BOB He lost his spells

BOB He went to zero hit points

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Oof okay

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I was hoping Melange got some healing but oh well

BOB so LIrt is your only spell caster at this point

Lemon (Levi Reed): Our defense is bards.

Shislif (MeLange): yea that head injury really boned us lol

Image: Ruined Hut.webp@Map Pack - Jungle I

Carissa (Vee Barlett): How many spells let Mini? One?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *left

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I have more than one

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Oh sweet okay so we do have some defense

TMO (Rothuss Carder): how long did it take us to get here?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): One burning hands, one detect magic, one wall of fog, and one acid arrow

Spring (Ratbone Carder): finally getting warm. two sets of pajamas, a hoodie, a plushie poncho and a cap

BOB 1 hour

BOB it is 11 AM

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Detect Magic may be good to use on that staff

Rothuss Carder: When it gets nearly night, do you think we could pull these logs up onto our little island?

Vee Barlett: Lots of time to up our defenses before the night.

Rothuss Carder: then put 'em back in the morning?

Vee Barlett: looks at Melange for an answer

Ratbone Carder: LOL

MeLange: oh LOTS of time

Vee Barlett: Nah, I mean, can ya remove at least one of them planks?

MeLange: oh... oh you mean me!

MeLange: sure thing, ,which one you want gone?

Vee Barlett: We don't wanna corner ourselves, but if you limit at least one easy entrance, that's good.

Vee Barlett: One by the house.

MeLange: sure thing

Vee Barlett: Y'all injured go make the house nice and cozy, yeah?

MeLange: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 18) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 19]

Vee Barlett: Lirt, ya wanna fish us up some food?

Shislif (MeLange): oh my gosh

Shislif (MeLange): i somehow knew that was going to happen lol

Vee Barlett: Take the mule inside, too, yeah? If it has room? Ain't want the bait to be obvious.

MeLange: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 18) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 7]

Shislif (MeLange): thx wasn't sure if i could roll again

Vee Barlett: Levi, gimme your rope.

Shislif (MeLange): brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (or does she still have it?)

BOB That was a sucess, you have above an 18

Vee Barlett: claps her hands together real loud

Vee Barlett: COME ON! CHOP CHOP! LOOK ALIVE CREW!

Vee Barlett: Lots to do!

BOB So yes Melange grabs that tree and PULLS but then slips and it drops into the stream and floats away

Rothuss Carder: Well... that's a thing

Ratbone Carder: starts sweeping with a branch with a few leaves on

Temperance: takes out an apple and attempts to take the mule inside

Lemon (Levi Reed): sorry, catching up, was afk for a second, but I think Ratbone has Vee's rope now

Ratbone Carder: oh yes here's the rope

Vee Barlett: Well that works. Wanna help with that mule, too, Melange? See if Temperance needs that, er, skill ya got?

Vee Barlett: Thanks.

Vee Barlett: takes rope

Ratbone Carder: sweep sweep sweep

Temperance: Help would be appreciated. I don't want to surprise her unnecessarily

Vee Barlett: Hmm... thinkin' maybe we can rig somethin' up at this entrance here.... trip wire? A way to pull it up if needed?

Vee Barlett: thinking

Temperance: We can look for places to hook it if that's what needs to be done

Ratbone Carder: arranging the debris into places to sit or lie down

BOB You could not move it last night when you were here

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh no... I was going to say last time we cleared out the smaller log bridge so there should only be one... but I guess now there's none. Oops.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): big tree is still there apparently just not small

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but we can swim across if we need

TMO (Rothuss Carder): a problem for tomorrow. :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): basic trip wire netting with the rope, maybe?

BOB Let's say it takes an hour to clean up, get rid of that other smaller log that Melange tosses into the stream, move the mule inside, etc.

The time is 12:00 PM

BOB Takes you to Noon

Ratbone Carder: lunchtime!

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (Lirt can fish)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Still got branches stuck on us

Ratbone Carder: anybody wanna do a skit afterwards?

BOB and I think you can debate, discuss, plan, plot etc on the site for what you want to do to get through the next 18 hours

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Rope Use [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 9]

Vee Barlett: working on a rope-based trap trip wire thing

Ratbone Carder: poetry contest?

Levi Reed: Oooh, I'd be in for that

BOB To trip someone coming across the log path Vee?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (yes or at least trap them there)

Temperance: attempts to guide the mule inside as gently as possible

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and then when she's done with that, maybe she'll make a little skiff since we hae time to kill and gives us another way across

MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 16]

BOB I would say if you get Ratbone or Rothuss with a sucessful Set Traps roll that works

Temperance: Hopefully we can find somewhere where you can rest as well. Jericho looked you over, so you seem to be in better condition than most of us.

Vee Barlett: Hey! Rat Twins! One of ya wanna take a look at this set-up? See if it works?

BOB No trees to make a skiff out of

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (well maybe she'll wait to set the trap and walk across and get something!)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): bards do not get Set Traps

BOB Find traps

BOB but if not

TMO (Rothuss Carder): correct.

BOB then sadly not able to create a trap with Vee

TMO (Rothuss Carder): We get Climb Walls, Detect Noise, Pick Pockets

Vee Barlett: gives up and crosses over to find a tree to make a skiff instead

TMO (Rothuss Carder): And Read Languages, but I think that's Bard instead of Thief

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (we can block the path with a skiff or canoe or whatever she rigs up then, ughh)

BOB Vee can make a check to see if she can find enough small trees to create a rough canoe

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Or just block the path with the trees?

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 9]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Shipwright [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 2]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Seamanship [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 12]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): We have hours to kill. She needs something to keep her hands busy

Carissa (Vee Barlett): And if we need another way across, might as well make a boat

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Boating [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 10]

wyjyoon (Temperance): Fair enough

BOB and Vee searches and finds and drags back some saplings and long vines to weave together to create a floating platform

Lemon (Levi Reed): bAAARRRRRRge

Ratbone Carder: tell me what to do and i'll help

BOB It will take her 6-8 hours to build it but she has the materials to do so on the island now

Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean more like a raft, but barge goes better with pirate jokes

Temperance: shifts around any debris inside the cabin in attempt to make it more comfortable

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

BOB Ok so let us pause here for the night

Vee Barlett: Keep an eye out.

BOB So everyone can think and imagine over the next two weeks

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Two??

Shislif (MeLange): we not meeting next week?
