'TMO' connected

BOB Good morning sir

TMO: I hope so!

BOB I did post about the door thing on the site

TMO: JTom will probably not be here for the whole time, uncertain of when he will be on or off. He's got plans to play EU4 with a group sometime today. But it was also supposed to be yesterday, so...

'Shislif' connected

TMO: but I do think he'll be here at least part of the time

BOB Hey there Sharif

BOB and no worries on JTom I am glad he likes this enough to be here

Sharif: good morning/afternoon :)

'Michael' connected

BOB Hello Michael

'Lemon' connected

BOB and Lemon is awake

BOB with no cat to keep her from beating Carissa

Jericho: Hey everyone!

Michael (Jericho): Hey everyone!

Lemon: I wouldn't go as far as "awake" but I am here

Lemon: Hello again friends

Shislif: howdy h owdy

Michael (Jericho): A reminder that in 45 minutes, I am getting brunch, otgherwise I shall be Crack Addicited Badger in terms of mood

Shislif: ohhh what kinda brunch?

Jericho: The kind where I run to a Mexican food joint, say "the usual please" and then flee back here

Michael (Jericho): I'm so hungry, but they don't open until 11 my time

Lemon: I couldn't decide on breakfast so I'm just sipping a coffee right now

[250 XP] -> Rothuss Carder

[250 XP] -> Levi Reed

[250 XP] -> Jericho

[250 XP] -> MeLange

Michael (Jericho): Oh, well that's free calories. I've done most of a Diet Coke to wake up and get angry at my PC for Unreal lol

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I went to the donut shop, got a donut and a sausage/egg croissant

Shislif: mmm n ice

Lemon: Well, I put a ton of half and half in it, so not really free, but it's fine

Shislif: picking up something sounds nice but I'm too lazy to go out

Michael (Jericho): That would give me the worst heartburn. No idea why, but Sugar and it's Ole Faitfulh for Geyer Heartburn. The hottest spicies foods on Earth? Nah

Shislif: bacon egg n cheese on a biscuit does sound good though

Michael (Jericho): No idea the logic there

Lemon: maybe i will order donuts

BOB I did oatmeal with cranberries, rode the bike for 8 miles, walked for 30 minutes, did a 30 minute strength class, and now with Mozzarella wrapped with proscuitto and triskets for lunch.

Shislif: oh shush Bob

BOB Now I can be calm for 12 hours

BOB and type away

Shislif: mr healthy over here :)

Jericho: Well, it sounds like bob is ready to lecture us on the benefits of Yoga, and tell teh rest of us: "Let them eat cake"

Michael (Jericho): We all know how that ended

BOB The Creation Station Monthly on Yoga was popular

Lemon: yoga is fine, I don't mind yoga, but I would literally rather die than eat healthy

Michael (Jericho): Ironcially, I may have listened to that one, which might be why it is popping into my head

Michael (Jericho): they kinda blur. I listen to ones at random sometime

BOB The Painting Epsode is still number two. The top show was Family Reunions

Shislif: I do like oatmeal even if it is healthy

Michael (Jericho): (Nope, neither of those ones)

Michael (Jericho): (but some others!)

Lemon: I like the oatmeal with sugar and fruit in it

Shislif: mmm

Michael (Jericho): I like oatmeal when it's mostly toppings with less Oatmeal. So...not otameal I guess

Michael (Jericho): :D

Shislif: I'll do overnight oats with like 2/3 steele cut and 1/3 7 grain hot cereal, then add some fruits/maple syrup when it's eating time

Lemon: yes, exactly

Michael (Jericho): It's a filler!

BOB We know that Wendy, Spring and JTom are going to be late and in and out.

Michael (Jericho): Actualy Sharif that' doesn't sound bad

Shislif: in n out sounds good

BOB Carissa is awake and moving

Shislif: it's good!

Michael (Jericho): sort of

Michael (Jericho): :)

Michael (Jericho): So

'Carissa' connected

Michael (Jericho): We waiting on anyone else at the moment, or is this the gang

Michael (Jericho): (for now)

Shislif: we still in GTFO mode right?

BOB is Carissa

Michael (Jericho): (I'm in GTFO Mode, Carissa can stay if she would like)

Michael (Jericho): lol

Lemon: lol, yes, I agree with GTFO mode, but how

Lemon: How is the question

[250 XP] -> Vee Barlett

Michael (Jericho): Throw a body against the door, and we sprint for ourl ives

Michael (Jericho): And Jericho prays that a Dex roll doesn't get him killed

Lemon: sprint for our lives up a slippery waterslide with three people down to 1 hp?

Michael (Jericho): Yep!

Michael (Jericho): LOL

Michael (Jericho): Sorry

Michael (Jericho): But, no idea how to get back up

BOB Do you think that is the way these people came down here? or move around on a normal basis?

Carissa: cat has moved, I am sad but here

Michael (Jericho): Bob, I don't know how these People think.

Michael (Jericho): This is weird

Michael (Jericho): lol

BOB I will refill my drink and be right back

Shislif: what if we close the door behind us? maybe they can't open doors

Jericho: I feel I was just asked. What, you think Manson organized everythign perfectly? I dunno, Manson was weird and evil

Michael (Jericho): I feel I was just asked. What, you think Manson organized everythign perfectly? I dunno, Manson was weird and evil

Carissa: I wanna know if that fungus staff makes mushroom ladders and stuff appear

TMO (Rothuss Carder): we don't actually know for a *FACT* that there is any other way back up to the surface. We *HOPE* there is.

Lemon: We gotta wait for Wendy for that one

Michael (Jericho): Great idea carissa!

Michael (Jericho): Wendy has called beyond the timespace continuum, she passed it to Vee

Carissa: we just need to get up this first slip n slide then we follow the footprints

Carissa: why create an army of podmen if you can't get them outside, that's bad pet ownership

Michael (Jericho): Agreed. At first "relatively safety" spot, let's get Orisons done

Shislif: well the owner would let them outside

Michael (Jericho): We gotta get you guys shored back up

Michael (Jericho): (the almost dead ones)

Carissa: exactly so we need to find the doggy door

Michael (Jericho): doggy?

Michael (Jericho): LOL

Carissa: Vee has extra dex bonuses in water so she's willing to try going up first

Michael (Jericho): Can you bring a rope with you?

Michael (Jericho): So we have grip it and hold on while going up?

BOB b

Lemon: Are there footprints down here?

Carissa: yes the north branch we didn't take

Michael (Jericho): (yes)

Lemon (Levi Reed): No, I mean, this end of the waterslide

Carissa: uh, Vee isn't ever not going to have her rope if she can help it

Michael (Jericho): is that two double negatives?

Carissa: you got tracking too....although it's probably all our footprints now

Michael (Jericho): are you taking it up there?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no it's a statement

BOB Never know when Ruffus will show up.....

Carissa (Vee Barlett): to hogtie him and toss him overboard

Michael (Jericho): It's a statement I didn't follow. Is they willing to trail a rope up the slip in slide?

Michael (Jericho): Or not

Michael (Jericho): I have an extra

Lemon (Levi Reed): She's saying Vee is very emotionally attached to that rope

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol the statement is she will never part with her rope so yes she'd have it with her if she gets up there

Michael (Jericho): OH

Carissa (Vee Barlett): not specifically that rope, but rope in general

Michael (Jericho): I was like....she has ropes or doesn't?

Michael (Jericho): OK

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and given it's the only rope we have now down here apparently, she's even more attached to it

Michael (Jericho): (Jericho has a rope on Inventory)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi's is (hopefully) still tied up at the entry

Michael (Jericho): I LIED

Michael (Jericho): I'm sorry

Carissa (Vee Barlett): does he? I thought there were only two totall so goo............

Michael (Jericho): Thta rope was used

Michael (Jericho): I do like FGU trackign inventory

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well then

Michael (Jericho): That is conventient

BOB Also remember to pick up your rations, etc.

Michael (Jericho): but not at the moment LOL

Vee Barlett: grabs her rations

BOB everyone gets heavier again

Michael (Jericho): OOF

Lemon (Levi Reed): Didn't only Spring drop their rations?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee did, too, to get another +1 to her attack

BOB Look at your inventory and see if there is something you can ditch so you can go faster

Lemon (Levi Reed): ahh, missed that

Vee Barlett: Someone grab some of these rations off me? Makes it harder to hit things.

Vee Barlett: Why they so heavy? Dried things ain't supposed to be so heavy.

Rothuss Carder: How many?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Seriously, it's like 20 lbs each?? wtf is in here

BOB a week's worth of food

Vee Barlett: Hmm, how many can ya carry? Like 5?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wait one ration is a week worth??

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I have 10, for 25lbs. Speaking of which, have we eaten any of them so far?

Vee Barlett: Suppose I appreciate you killing the weird pod thing, too. Now let's get outta here, ya?

Shislif (MeLange): we could try following the water down the grate, just need a way to open the grate

TMO (Rothuss Carder): that is probably the wrong way tot he exit

The southern passageway from this cut-stone chamber descends and turns in a very steep slope.

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I was thinking that but... is a pool? do we need to hold our breath?

In this room, the river runs down through a massive grate in the floor, disappearing from sight in a splashing torrent.

Michael (Jericho): I am DONE going down

Michael (Jericho): LOL

Lemon (Levi Reed): And I very much feel like NOT going down another waterslide waterfall situation

Michael (Jericho): Also not going down the grate

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Vee Barlett: Lemme see if I can go up this way first. Like a slippery ship deck...

Michael (Jericho): (lol)

A wooden divider splits the river into channels here.

Rothuss Carder: is watching the door, in case any podcakes try to open it again.

Vee Barlett: makes her way up, finds a place to tie off the rope, and lets it trail down to the others.

Vee Barlett: Just like a ship in a storm. Come on up, y'all.

Michael (Jericho): (Can you bar the door somehow?)

Michael (Jericho): NM, Vee seems ready!

Levi Reed: climbs up

Jericho: Tests the rope

Jericho: Please don't let me slip

Carissa (Vee Barlett): she let levi have his fun, but now she's done

Jericho: Mutters

MeLange: Follows Levi

Jericho: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 7) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 4]

Jericho: Thank you!

Jericho: Wispers to Vee

BOB I canceled the move for Jericho

Jericho: That rope is the only reason I'm not swimming

Vee Barlett: Melange, ya good to take point again? That buckler is VERY nice against these things.

Michael (Jericho): What? Why?!

BOB Because you tried to walk through walls

Michael (Jericho): I passed the Dex?

Michael (Jericho): Sigh

BOB instead of following the path

Michael (Jericho): I thought I di da route

BOB That works

Michael (Jericho): OK. Thank you

MeLange: sure lets do it!

Lemon (Levi Reed): levi do same

BOB It also was 7 more feet long, so you used up 84 feet of your 120 feet of movement

MeLange: climbs the rope

BOB Which might be importat at spots

Michael (Jericho): So, zoom in for more precise pathing. Got it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): i read that as "at sports" which, yes, but we aren't playing sports right now

Michael (Jericho): but it is important in sports

Michael (Jericho): lol

Lemon (Levi Reed): Idk, I think rope climbing is a sport

Lemon (Levi Reed): At least it felt like it in gym class

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol good point

Shislif (MeLange): bounce bounce bounce

Michael (Jericho): (Bob are our ORB friends in your caress?)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Running out of room over on your side of the river there

Jericho: Rothuss! Come on man!

BOB ORB?

Michael (Jericho): One round behind. sorry

BOB Ahh yes they will be following along no worries

Rothuss Carder: Alright! Alright! I'm coming

Shislif (MeLange): do we need to roll anything to climb rope?

Rothuss Carder: grumbles, not looking forward to doing this with what feels like a cracked rib.

Lemon (Levi Reed): shhhh, dont' ask, jsut climb

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Jericho: By the way, you look like Shit, don't put pressure on your left side. I'll get it patched up soon

BOB No to the roll because Vee laid it out for you

Jericho: Winces

Michael (Jericho): MeLange....we owe you many drinks. And a bath

Jericho: MeLange....we owe you many drinks. And a bath

Jericho: Grins

MeLange: Hey you got me out the roots

Levi Reed: I can help with the bath

Jericho: I didn't do shit Melange

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Jericho: I just do the patches and rock throwing

Jericho: Smiles

Jericho: Let's get the fuck out of here

MeLange: lets get out of here first

Vee Barlett: Talk later. Let's get out. We're going with the footprints 'cause they likely know how to get out.

Jericho: Vee?

Jericho: Right!

Vee Barlett: points to the left passage

Jericho: Nods

MeLange: this path on the left then?

Vee Barlett: Melange and Levi, up front. I'll help with them hurt ones.

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 17]

Jericho: At first reasonable moment Vee, we can orison them

MeLange: takes the lead, buckler in arm

Jericho: Just need some relative safety and a wee bit of time

Lemon (Levi Reed): good thing there's only one way to go that we haven't been lol

Jericho: I don't want to move Rothuss and Lirt too far

Vee Barlett: Then do it now.

Michael (Jericho): (Bob?)

Michael (Jericho): (Is this a "Safe" moment for Orison)

Michael (Jericho): ?

Jericho: Patting himself down

Jericho: murmering

BOB Sure as safe as anywhere

Jericho: God Rothuss

Jericho: Just one sec

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Lirt isn't here to get any healing?

Michael (Jericho): She can get it when she' shere LOL

BOB Can take healing

Michael (Jericho): BUT

Michael (Jericho): Hold up

BOB cannot use her spells etc

Michael (Jericho): Is Wendy in today?

Michael (Jericho): I only have 3 Orisons Left

Michael (Jericho): She has more

BOB She said she would be in but late

Michael (Jericho): Then, this is what needs to count for now

Carissa (Vee Barlett): why not use spells? no one is walking wounded

Carissa (Vee Barlett): only wounded

Michael (Jericho): I am using spells

Michael (Jericho): I have one left

Michael (Jericho): Wendy has two, but is not here

BOB Orison is a set number of points to heal, Cure Light is a random number

Michael (Jericho): So I need to prioritize

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Lirt only has Burning Hands left anyways

Michael (Jericho): right

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oooh meaning she can't use spells because she's not here got it

Michael (Jericho): So, I'll heal who IS IN, right now I think, but I'll ask before each cast of Orison. Got it guys?

Michael (Jericho): We can confirm

'wyjyoon' connected

Carissa (Vee Barlett): how much does orison give up?

BOB Speak her name an dshe appears

BOB Hello Wendy

TMO (Rothuss Carder): and JTom and I were discussing it last night, he can't move before or after casting it, *and* it only has a range of 5'. So she'd have to stand there and let the enemy get WAY too close before using it, and then stand there and let them hit her afterward

Michael (Jericho): Whew ok :)

Michael (Jericho): Hey Wendy!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I AM THE SUMMONER!!

Michael (Jericho): We are healing people!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hi Wendy!

Michael (Jericho): Standby

[250 XP] -> Temperance

Shislif (MeLange): hi Wendy

Shislif (MeLange): brb bio break

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Michael (Jericho): OK, Ready for HP Divvy Bob?

Michael (Jericho): Wendy, don't do anything yet, we'll see how far this gets us :P

Michael (Jericho): 12 to Rotahuss

Michael (Jericho): HP

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (yes to TMO which is why I nixed it yesterday, too risky for her)

wyjyoon: Hello hello! What am I not supposed to do? I just got here : P

Carissa (Vee Barlett): just patch up Rothuss a bit then we can move again

Michael (Jericho): 12 to MeLange

Michael (Jericho): HP

Carissa (Vee Barlett): errr.... hold up

Michael (Jericho): Stop?

BOB waiting

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no wondering where my math is? how is it 12 per?

Rothuss Carder: Ahhh... ow ow ow... I could have gone a lot longer without knowing how it feels to have a rib move back into place at high speed... Thanks buddy. MUCH better now.

Michael (Jericho): It's because I'm divving up the Orisons. Here is the formula:

Michael (Jericho): Max Heal of 9 Points but Takes 9 Rounds. Formula 3HP + 1HP Per Level Jericho is at Level 3, so 6HP Per Orison Jericho can cast Orison 3 Plus 1 Per Level. As Jericho is Level 3 (3 Base + 3 LVL = 6 ORISON) he can cast 6 Orisons per LEVL 1 Spell Slot, and this will leave him with the rest of his LVL 1 Spell slots.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh okay gotcha

Michael (Jericho): (12 HP to Lirt is my next one)

Michael (Jericho): (but up to you)

Lemon (Levi Reed): If we're at a safe-ish spot right now, do we want to try the staff and the potion that I keep forgetting about? I don't know how to do those things, but... seems like they might be helpful in here?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Was gonna mention that too

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So you'd use 6 level 1 spells to heal them all up? Sorry just trying to make sure I know how many spells we have left

Rothuss Carder: Let me take a look at those things while Jericho here is working over the others.

Michael (Jericho): What no?

Michael (Jericho): I get 6 Orisons PER level 1 spell

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (feel try to test things out now too if you want, yes)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (potions always take a small sip first so you do'nt kill yourself)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): That's 6 HP per spell

Michael (Jericho): If I had all my level 1 spells, i'd have 18 Orisons

Michael (Jericho): 6 HP, for 6 Orisons = 36 HP

Lemon (Levi Reed): How much is a small sip? Like actually sip it? Or... like dip a finger in and lick it off?

Michael (Jericho): 24 has been spent

Carissa (Vee Barlett): No. And if it was then we haven't done it right for eight years

Michael (Jericho): There are 12 HP to divviy up left

Michael (Jericho): Bob, you decide this

Carissa (Vee Barlett): A single orison is just +1

Michael (Jericho): I wrote out the forumla

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So a 3 base is +1x3 plus +3 per level

Carissa (Vee Barlett): which maybe not my time to nitpick if this screws us on HP but it is confusing me from the past

Michael (Jericho): If Jericho was at level 1. He would have 3 orisons for that level 1 spell

Michael (Jericho): He is at level 3

Michael (Jericho): That means, that the Base 3 spells, plus 1 spell (by spell I mean orison) is he has 6 Orisons he can cast

Michael (Jericho): Now, at his current level, he can give 3 Base HP + 1 Per level

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Yes so should be 6. Again, a single orison is +1 to any stat. So three are 3 HP then his level

BOB I am re-reading both FG and the site in chapter two

Michael (Jericho): Stop

Michael (Jericho): I will stop until bob rules. I literally wrote this out per Bob

Michael (Jericho): We had a massive session at the island where we discussed this

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and I'm very happy if I'm wrong, but I will be mad at bob if I was wrong for years and he didn't tell me :P

Carissa (Vee Barlett): this was ingrained in me

Michael (Jericho): (Honestly, I don't have a bone in this race, I was never really a priest until now lol)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm reading up on Bard's Identify Item ability as well. so nto watching here at the moment...

Michael (Jericho): (But i DO want HP)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): also would be background to why I've been so worried abotu healing

Michael (Jericho): It's why I was less. For 1 spell with 6 Orison casts, that 36 HP for a healing session between al lcharacters.

BOB So Jericho gets 6 orisons for 1 1st level spell. Each Orison heals 1 point of damage. So for the cost of one 1st level spell Jericho heals 6 points over the course of 6 rounds.

Michael (Jericho): That's why I was like???I'm not going to hold onto my spells

Michael (Jericho): That is my formula

BOB The alterantive is casting 1 cure light spell which heals 1d8 points in one round

Carissa (Vee Barlett): makes so much more sense on your side now michael

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm still confused, but this is not my circus, not my monkeys

BOB So Jericho has how many 1st level spells he wants to use as an orison? 2?

Michael (Jericho): Ah, but this is where now I'm confused on Origosn again bob. This was a really really big conversation. That means, when he casts a single "set" of 6 orisons, that is only 1HP

BOB right

Michael (Jericho): So, instead of 36 Healing, he is 6 HP

BOB right

Michael (Jericho): So, a level 1 spell, is 6 HP

BOB Every orison heals 1 point, he gets 6 orisons

Michael (Jericho): Then, I wil lpoint out, that two sessions ago, we healed the ENTIRE PARTY

Michael (Jericho): with just a couple orisons

Michael (Jericho): HOW

Michael (Jericho): (sorry, three)

BOB Because you were not that beat up

Michael (Jericho): Sigh

BOB and you also used Cure LIght

Michael (Jericho): Then, yeah carissa, you are right

BOB which gets you more if you are lucky

Michael (Jericho): Back to hoarding spells, because that suckis

Shislif (MeLange): back

Michael (Jericho): Continue on. I am reasearchign

Michael (Jericho): I'm not moving forward until I confirm this

BOB Confirm what?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, if we are pausing, then I would like to take this time to ask again about staff and potion

BOB Not sure what there is to confirm

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes sorry for that, but better now than farther down the road and at least now we understand our communication issue so... silver lining?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): and while he's doing that, I've finished reading up on Bardic Identfy Item/Legend Lore. He has a 15% chance to learn general purpose and function of any magical item

Carissa (Vee Barlett): staff, arrow if someone can, and potion yes

Lemon (Levi Reed): Actual sip for potion, or dip a finger in and lick it for potion? Levi is willing to try it, as he's not too low on hp, but I want to make sure I'm doing it right

Lemon (Levi Reed): As for the staff... no idea how to test that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Indigo always did the dip test

BOB Arrows are typically just a plus something and a one shot

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, let me see those things for a minute.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Wendy just hit something with the staff maybe

Carissa (Vee Barlett): all of this after Rothuss tries first

TMO (Rothuss Carder): "Furthermore, bards have a 5% chance per experience level to identify the general purpose and function of any magical item. The bard need not handle the item but must examine it closely. Even if successful, the exact function of the item is not revealed, only its general nature. "

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, okay. I don't mind doing that : )

Vee Barlett: gathers up her rope while everyone figures things out.

Levi Reed: Hey, who's got that potion we found? I'm feeling adventurous, let me try it. Maybe it murders all sentient fungus in a cave or something

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (so you say Bob but we got that fancy adhesion arrow once so I can have hope)

BOB Very true

TMO (Rothuss Carder): so theoretically *might* be able to identify the potion without licking it, since he doesn't have to touch. Chances are low though

Temperance: rummages in her pouch for said potion

Michael (Jericho): Damn, then yeah we need to quickly kill Jericho off, becuase I'm not going to play something THIS useless. This sucks

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol I was going to say Vee handed it off at some point

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, whatever works : )

Michael (Jericho): Guess what guys. That ONE Orison? Give 6 HP to Rothuss. That's all you get!

Michael (Jericho): Jericho's out

wyjyoon (Temperance): They asked and I wasn't sure who had it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (no to that because you'll be level 1 again and it'll be hard to get back - we just need to find a way for you to play him that makes you happy)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (even if you multiclass or something but that's a later discussion)

Michael (Jericho): I was pretty happy when he could actually heal, but this is just dumb

Michael (Jericho): A convo for later

Michael (Jericho): Let's just get out. This really really sucks

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (Rothuss can offer IC to ID stuff)

BOB He is healing just like every priest

Michael (Jericho): Yeah, but it seems when we helaed in the past, you know, people were actually healed

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you get better when you level like all things

Michael (Jericho): Right

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well yeah, Rae was lvl 8 so she could actually heal at 12 HP easy with multiple lvl 1 spells

BOB 6 at this level once you get out of the story arc you might level up again

BOB etc

Levi Reed: takes potion from Temperance, dips a finger in, and sticks said finger in his mouth

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or whatever the actual math was for Rae but it was good

Michael (Jericho): Oh jesus

Michael (Jericho): Please don't die

Rothuss Carder: Who's got the staff and things? While I'm sitting here, let me take a look at them. Maybe I've heard something about them.

Jericho: Feeling a bit better Rothuss?

Jericho: I'd say you look better, but uh, you really don't

Rothuss Carder's health adjusted by +6

Vee Barlett: Er, well too late with the potion but I gave Brains the staff.

Temperance: hands off the staff to Rothuss

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, thanks again, buddy. That's twice now I owe you for.

Jericho: You don't owe me jack shit. I wasn' thte one getting slashed by over enthusiastic plant life

Rothuss Carder: holds the staff up and peers at it closely.

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Identify Item (general 5%/lvl) [PERCENT:Identify Item (general 5%/lvl)] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 74] [d100 = 89]

Michael (Jericho): (With that, I will be back in 30 minutes)

-> Temperance: Temperance feels a bit happier, healthier

Carissa (Vee Barlett): peer harder

Carissa (Vee Barlett): tata for now

Michael (Jericho): (Jericho is tapped out, so this is actually a good time. Wnedy does have splles)

Temperance: Oh, I do? Okay, I guess

Rothuss Carder: Wait.. Here, Vee. Look closely, right here at the tip of it. That look like a maker's mark to you?

Vee Barlett: What about that fancy arrow?

Vee Barlett: Huh?

Temperance: blinks, looking a bit confused as she moves her limbs around

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 1]

Vee Barlett: looks at the mark

Temperance: I feel a bit healthier... if I could say so. Strange.

Rothuss Carder: pokes Vee in the forehead with the staff when she gets in close to it.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (from the staff? or the potion? Levi tried to potion)

Rothuss Carder: Nope, my mistake. here you go.

Rothuss Carder: hands Vee the staff.

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 18]

Rothuss Carder: Ow... rib's still tender.

Vee Barlett: The staff make you feel better, Brains? 'Cause more reason for me to keep this away from the jackass.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (get it because mule so ass? ha)

Rothuss Carder: Mule!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Trying to see if i can figure out more : )

BOB I will give Rothuss a wisdom check

Rothuss Carder: Anything else I can look at?

Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 14]

Rothuss Carder: Ladies? Got anything I can check out for you?

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 10]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (trying because she hasd that obs roll so maybe....)

wyjyoon (Temperance): I also made a wisdom check earlier : )

wyjyoon (Temperance): If that'll help : )

BOB Rods and Staffs are priest or mage items, wands are mage items

Lemon (Levi Reed): And I tried the potion

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooh meaning wendy needs to wield it if it's a staff

BOB So did Temp

wyjyoon (Temperance): I tried the potion?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Wait what? So.... what made people feel better? Potion or staff? I think only Levi tried potion. Temp tried the staff.

wyjyoon (Temperance): I handed it off to Levi I think?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I didn't have her consume it

BOB I am sorry I missed the Levi part of the line

BOB so Levi feels slightly bouncier, happier, healthier

wyjyoon (Temperance): "Slightly bouncier"

Vee Barlett: Was it really good rum?

Levi Reed: bounces

Levi Reed: Hey, this is great!

Levi Reed: Doesn't taste like booze but still makes me feel good!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it's the fizzy cola from Willy Wonka

Temperance: nods, mentally recording the effects of the potion

Vee Barlett: Hmm, then might be good to keep when things get tough. Or now. Depends if ya think ya can keep going.

BOB Temperance can make an Inteligence check

Temperance: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 2]

BOB She is certain that it is a healing potion

Lemon (Levi Reed): yay!

Levi Reed: Nah, I'm pretty ok right now

Carissa (Vee Barlett): finally

BOB similar to a Cure Light wounds, but three times as powerful

Levi Reed: Just a flesh wound

Carissa (Vee Barlett): three times? dang okay so for when you're REALLY down

BOB No effects yet, you have to drink it for it to heal

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we can't split potions right? I know the answer but I can try asking again...

Temperance: It's certainly a healing potion. I believe it's similar to a priest's "Cure Light Wounds", but almost 3 times as powerful.

BOB Yes you can

Carissa (Vee Barlett): WHAT

BOB For this one

Levi Reed: Wow! Yeah, I definitely don't need that right now!

Levi Reed: But someone might...

BOB you can take a bit, take a bit, take a bit

Levi Reed: looks over at the bedraggled party

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I swear I asked that when Nlaea wanted to give some to Brer! UGHHH. At least her faith came through there.

BOB Depends on the potion and how much is in it

Vee Barlett: Hold on to it. You and Baby might need it.

Temperance: Perhaps we should prioritize some of our more wounded members.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): rude

BOB this has three "shots"

BOB Each is 1d8

Vee Barlett: And the staff? Any insight?

Vee Barlett: hands it back to Temperance

Temperance: holds it and attempts to rummage through her thoughts

Levi Reed: Temperance, hit me with the staff! Lightly

Vee Barlett: (LINK)

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNtTEibFvlQ">(LINK)</a>

Temperance: furrows her eyebrows and tilts her head

Vee Barlett: Er, why not a wall instead?

Levi Reed: Oh

Vee Barlett: I'm hopin' it grows fungus.

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

Temperance: If I kill you, it'd be a pain to try and resurrect. And I'd rather it not turn you into a pod

Levi Reed: Maybe a wall first, I guess

Temperance: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee had her obs roll on the staff it that helped

wyjyoon (Temperance): Should I roll wisdom again? I succeeded last time...

BOB Temperance feels uncomfortable with the staff as she is not used to using that as a weapon, but it does feel powerful in her hands

Temperance: looks at the staff up and down

Temperance: I do feel some power radiating as I hold it

Vee Barlett: Yeah, so maybe don't hit Levi first. I mean, he deserves it, but not until we're outta the cave.

Levi Reed: Ok, now hit the wall with it. Gently

Levi Reed: And if that doesn't do anything, then me

Levi Reed: God, Vee, why are you such a fun killer

Rothuss Carder: Big swing!

Vee Barlett: I'd vote Rothuss, actually, but whatever.

Effect ['Grapple: Negative to actions'] -> [EXPIRED] [on Levi Reed]

Vee Barlett: Or we wait until we find a corpse to smack it with?

Temperance: takes a breath, pulls her arms back and takes a gentle swing towards the wall

Temperance: *with the staff

BOB Thunk

Vee Barlett: I gave ya two hours of fun in this cave, Levi. That's more than enough.

Temperance: Bigger swing?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (do staffs usually need a power word?)

Temperance: looks a bit hesitant

Levi Reed: Nah, we don't want to break it

BOB Yes if they are like a wand, no if they are like a weapon

Vee Barlett: Nah. We'll go find a corpse for you to poke it with. Let's just get going if y'all good to go.

Levi Reed: If it's going to do something magical, it doesn't matter how hard you hit

MeLange: I'm good to go!

Levi Reed: If you wanna bludgeon something with it, different story

MeLange raises hand

Vee Barlett: Lead the way, Babe.

Temperance: brightens at the thought of experimenting the effects of said staff on a corpse

Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL

Levi Reed: Back off, Vee, or I'll hit on your dads again

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol, Temperance

Vee Barlett: Nah, don't mean it as hittin' on him. Thought that was his new nickname.

MeLange: moves further north up following the stream

Vee Barlett: Or is there like...? Huh, we gonna need ta gossip once we get out.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (like Babe Ruth, man)

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Vee Barlett: I'll cover yer backs.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Nothign like a near death experience to make you realize how much you love someone?

Vee Barlett: ushers squishes to go next

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol not sure trauma bonding is healthy but sure

Temperance: attempts to follow Melange

Lemon (Levi Reed): What has Levi EVER done that's healthy?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Lemon (Levi Reed): Anyways, after today MeLange is about to abandon him so...

MeLange: lol,

Carissa (Vee Barlett): only for awhile until things change again (I hope)

Levi Reed: Hey anyone hear that?

Levi Reed: Some kind of rustling noise?

Temperance: frowns and holds the staff tighter

JtomTMO: Hello

Lemon (Levi Reed): Morning mini!

Vee Barlett: listens with her successful obs roll

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol Vee

MeLange: like trees?

MeLange: like outside?

Lemon (Levi Reed): What was it last time we heard the rustling sound?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Did we explore or go the opposite way last time?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): there was a spring gurglig but not sure others

BOB Vee does not hear anything over Rothuss and Jericho's loud breathing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but we are following footprints

Vee Barlett: annoyingly mutters "Mouthbreathers."

TMO (Rothuss Carder): we're having a competition. I'm winning!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Vee Barlett: Can't hear anything back here, but we know there were footprints up this way so just keep an eye out.

Levi Reed: mutters "dead ends or dead friends" and keeps going

Temperance: mumbles a prayer, even though it hasn't gotten her too far yet

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

Vee Barlett: (LINK)

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 1]

Lemon (Levi Reed): more pod men

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

There are over 100 pods in this large hall.

Vee Barlett: The track probably lead us out, but keep close.

Lemon (Levi Reed): oh for

Shislif (MeLange): nice

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh geez

Shislif (MeLange): 100 pods?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): pods.... not podmen... so.... we run?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Backs up and hopes he wasn't seen

BOB growing over a hundred very young pods in this chamber. Although the pods are full sized, most of the unformed pod-men within are no larger than a house cat, and their contents are not remotely formed into a humanoid shape. All the pods contain a foul glop that smells of fish

Levi Reed: There's at least one large pod in there

BOB pod men are tending the cavern, and they are supervised by one very large pod man the size of an ogre.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wut

Levi Reed: But like... a LOT man

MeLange: ugh

Temperance: So one large pod... with a lot of other pods?

Levi Reed: Smells like fish and... I don't know, I think it's a breeding groud or something

Carissa (Vee Barlett): unformed... so just... like...... gloop balls?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): this sounds so *incredibly* fun... but I think I hear my grandma calling...

Temperance: attempts to clarify information

wyjyoon (Temperance): LOL TMO

JtomTMO:

BOB restroom brb

MeLange: So I guess we're not getting out that way

MeLange says in a low voice

wyjyoon (Temperance): I need more warm tea for this

Levi Reed: There's some regular pod men in there... at least one huge pod guy... and a bunch of... goopy babies, I don't know

wyjyoon (Temperance): brb

Rothuss Carder: how long is the hallway?

Vee Barlett: How many regular ones?

MeLange: like they're raising an army or something

Lemon (Levi Reed): When I got up there I saw one "pod man large" and one "pod man body guard"

Vee Barlett: So we should stomp out the army before they actually become fighters.

MeLange: be a lot of stomping

Levi Reed: I saw two but... looks like a big cavern, there could be more, I don't know

Vee Barlett: Agree but... ain't sure how we're gonna get out the other way with them piranas and waterslide and waterfall.

Levi Reed: One is really huge though guys

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Think of it like ants, this is the queen probably, guarding the eggs along with the strongest ants

Rothuss Carder: sighs.

Levi Reed: The biggest one yet

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

BOB b

Shislif (MeLange): unless it's a soldier ant

Shislif (MeLange): or like Aliens

Vee Barlett: So we know at least two of 'em can fight, yeah?

Shislif (MeLange): we need a flamethrower

Rothuss Carder: Well... I got 1 spell. Makes me run *really* fast for a bit. I could use it, run all the way thru yelling blue murder.

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm with temperance lol. Gonna take a quick break and make a fresh pot of coffee... and then put some whipped cream on it or something

Rothuss Carder: They chase after me, you all break the pods.

User has gone AFK. (Lemon)

Vee Barlett: Hmm....

Vee Barlett: I'm thinkin' if Levi is all sneaky sneaky, maybe he can get a better look?

Rothuss Carder: And then I hide somewhere, or keep running.

Vee Barlett: And maybe instead of running, ya hype us up a bit first?

MeLange: as long as I don't get ensnared again, I could fight

Rothuss Carder: looks closely at Vee...

wyjyoon (Temperance): back : )

Vee Barlett: Yer stories. They make me wanna, like, REALLY kill things.

BOB Or just maybe valuable intel to take back to the church of the mists if you can sneak/fight your way past

Rothuss Carder: Vee... do you *really* need my help getting hyped up to gut all those pods?

Rothuss Carder: Inspiration

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (so we run)

Rothuss Carder: You know that's your dream job.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and/or fight

Vee Barlett: Guttin' pods in a cave? Yer an idiot. I ever tell ya that?

Rothuss Carder: Please. Instant violence and pure satisfaction. You know you want to do it.

Temperance: contemplates whether she can smash said pods with the staff

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (do itttt)

Effect ['Bardic Inspiration;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;MORALE: 2'] -> [to Vee Barlett] [by Rothuss Carder]

Vee Barlett: Well, yeah, that. It ain't my full dream job, but I do enjoy it.

Vee Barlett: I'd prefer doin' it on an open ocean.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Or chant "PISS OFF, ALL YE ROTTEN PODS"

Rothuss Carder: Those are keeping you from the ocean.

Vee Barlett: Or underwater, some slimy nursey or somethin'

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (ahh he's inspiring her, NOW I get it lol)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): YOU BETCHA

Vee Barlett: Hmm, sometimes you make good points.

Vee Barlett: And they ARE taintin' the water down here, and I ain't about water pollution.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (lol)

MeLange: So this stream is basically just a toilet?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): TMO I sent you this a while back, now is your time lol

Lirtimya: (LINK)

<a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/yOJ_McnLTNc?si=ia0kKDrWcuA2Z5Sn">(LINK)</a>

Temperance: Water pollution is merely great for breeding diseases and sickness

Rothuss Carder: Levi, MeL, Temperance, Lirt... You saw what we just went through over just a dozen of those things. In there's a HUNDRED of them. Think of what they could do on the surface.

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): OOC

Vee Barlett: Toilet for them slimy pod things so we gotta kill 'em.

Vee Barlett: Cut yer love short, Melange. Can't let that happen.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol wendy

Temperance: grimaces at the thought of pods on land

MeLange: alright, well it ain't over till it's over then

Rothuss Carder: We're here, we're what's available, and they'll never be more vulnerable than they are now.

Vee Barlett: Lirt, you keep close, ya here? I ain't havin' ya fall on me.

Rothuss Carder: Anybody got any better ideas than using me as bait and distraction?

BOB A staff is a two handed weapon yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes

MeLange: I saw we start a big fire n run like hell

MeLange: I say

Rothuss Carder: Vee, if you put Lirt right nest to you, you can use your spear to hold off one or two while she uses her Burning Hands on them once, while you protect her.

Lirtimya: I'lll stay safe, if they get too close I'll burn 'em

Vee Barlett: nods

Temperance: If we can avoid any slippery oil, I suppose...

Vee Barlett: That's the plan. SHE'S worth my protection.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (oh should have healed her a bit but now we're on rounds so... ugh)

wyjyoon (Temperance): I guess Temperance will still hold the staff?

wyjyoon (Temperance): She can take a sip of the potion?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hold and switch if you need to but maybe it'll surprise us somehow

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): a sip for her, then two left for fighters?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): probably a good idea... I don't want Lirt to fall her because then we're on yet another rescue mission

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'm fine with that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and if it's 3 rounds of hyping us up then we're not wasting the inspriation if she does it nw

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wow my typing just... died there

GM: [+1] [d8+1 = 8]

BOB So 8 to Temperance

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no to Lirt

Temperance's health adjusted by +8

wyjyoon (Temperance): to Lirt, please : )

Temperance's health adjusted by -6

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Lirt drank the potion uness that staff is healing Temp :P

Lirtimya's health adjusted by +8

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yeah I have no idea what the staff is doing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): also kind of delaying for Lemon to return... lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Other than the fact that I'm hitting things, apparently

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I'm missing 7 hp, so 8 is enough for max

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm here!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yay

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm having a snack but I'm here

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Good as new, minus the spells lol

BOB You have two shots left of the potion

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so once Temp ishealed... we go fight and run as we need? Hopefully Melange and Levi take out the main guys? Sneak as you need?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): And if it all goes sour, Rothuss runs and distracts?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Should we heal Rothuss too? His HP is pretty low, especially if he's going in to distract

Shislif (MeLange): cool, real quick brb before we start

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

wyjyoon (Temperance): Also I'm getting healed? I didn't know that.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): if Rothuss can distract them away, y'all can break pods with abandon

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so then yes to healing for him if he's bait

Carissa (Vee Barlett): SHOTS SHOT SHOTS SHOTS SHOT

TMO (Rothuss Carder): they won't follow a distraction if they see you breaking pods. distract first

wyjyoon (Temperance): LOL Carissa

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh good point... but can he sneak past the two in the path?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): HOLD ON - BOB - Expedition Retreat shows as used on my sheet. Did I use it today already and not remember? Or did I just forget to clear it after sleep?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I think you used it on our first trip in

Rothuss Carder: OK, just making sure!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): OK, just making sure!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): didn't want to get all the way out there and have Bob say "Oh, by the way...."

BOB smile

Lemon (Levi Reed): It opens up into a huge space up there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Lemon (Levi Reed): Do we want to rush in, or try to lure them?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): TMO is offering bait so we can smash the nursey

wyjyoon (Temperance): So Lirt took the healing potion, right? There's two more shots of said potion left.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): TMO please reiterate your plan

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ah, ok

Lemon (Levi Reed): godspeed

Carissa (Vee Barlett): AND if you want a shot of healing potion

Rothuss Carder: Okay, look. I run in there, super fast speed, yelling, hooting, whatever. I stay out of their reach. They all focus on me and chase me. You all quietly come in once they're away and smash pods without anyone to block ya.

Shislif (MeLange): back

Rothuss Carder: And then we wing it from there, if I hide, or lead them back to you, or you start picking them off from the rear. Whatever works.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): how many minutes is a round again?

Levi Reed: Sounds risky. I'm in

Vee Barlett: Yer hide. Ya want to take a healin' shot?

Rothuss Carder: Love to!

Vee Barlett: nods to whoever has the potion to hand it to him

MeLange: ok let's get ready to smash

Rothuss Carder: If there's one thing I know how to do, it's distract.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Before we go, if I'm bludgeoning what action am I using to do that?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): still gotta one-up me, eh son?

wyjyoon (Temperance): And thanks BOB : )

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I asked for other things to check out, but got roundly ignored... as is usual. :P

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Sorry did you say something TMO?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Lol, we at least got the potion... hashtag progress

wyjyoon (Temperance): My brain noodles are slippery, sorry TMO

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (but alos yeah, got lost in chat, I think I told them to hand it to you but oh well, next time)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): hey, I think my sabre has a maker's mark at the tip Vee. You've got good eyes, can you look at it for me?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Well, yeah I'll hold, if I had my acid arrow I would just sue it, but, we haven't slept yet

Lemon (Levi Reed): Does the burning hands thing spread? Could we burn all the babies with it?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Also... ouch, that sentence

BOB chuckles

BOB only if they are flamable

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Flammable babies

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that might be a war crime but....

Rothuss Carder: Hey, no one actually gave me the potion.

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Everything's flamable if you burn it hot enough

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, THIS might be a good time for the fire cocktail?

Rothuss Carder: Gimme gimme

Carissa (Vee Barlett): let's hope none of us ever runs for political office

wyjyoon (Temperance): Also oof that minus -3 on the hitting for quarterstaff

wyjyoon (Temperance): (Vee handed it to whomever needed it earlier)

Temperance: hands Rothuss the potion again just in case

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, but you're not trying to damage with it, we're trying to find out if it does something magical when you use it

Rothuss Carder: takes a sip

Carissa (Vee Barlett): thought he did but sure

GM: [+1] [d8+1 = 7]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): nice

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Perfect!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): one sip left

Rothuss Carder's health adjusted by +7

BOB That was the third one

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no?

Rothuss Carder: Gahh... organs moving is *weird*

Carissa (Vee Barlett): only Rothuss and Lirt took a shot

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lirt took a sip, Rothuss took a sip

BOB Rothuss took two sips, the first time he only got 2 points

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that was missed we didn't think he took a shot

TMO (Rothuss Carder): wait, what???

wyjyoon (Temperance): ?

BOB Rothuss Carder's health adjusted by +2

TMO (Rothuss Carder): OKAY, I MISSED THAT COMPLETELY. Retract this last sip then

Carissa (Vee Barlett): then take back the third, this shot was because we didn't think he had a sip

BOB Rothuss Carder's health adjusted by +7

TMO (Rothuss Carder): put the 7 back

BOB Ok

Carissa (Vee Barlett): sorry man

Rothuss Carder's health adjusted by -7

TMO (Rothuss Carder): SO Sorry!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no worries since we could retrocon

Carissa (Vee Barlett): think we all missed it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it'd be nice if Sharif returned but... whenever you want to go, go

Rothuss Carder: peeks around the corner

Shislif (MeLange): oh I'm here :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I see four pods on the CT

wyjyoon (Temperance): Should we have Levi or Melange take a sip before we go or are we already going?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh I missed that too lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Levi is the most hurt and said no thanks this time so... we can save it for him next lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): unless he has changed his mind

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, let's save the last for when we really need it, I think

Shislif (MeLange): good call

Lemon (Levi Reed): Somethign unexpected might happen

Temperance: grips her staff tight and hopes for the best

Rothuss Carder: tries to throw his voice to the northern passage he can just see. "Woah! Big Podman around the corner! Back up! Back up!"

Vee Barlett: moves up closer to the entrance ready to smash but not visible.

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Ventriloquism [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 4]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): nice

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh I see the light now

Michael (Jericho): apologies for the delay, I am back. First tell me if I shoudl roll something, then I'll read what I missed

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Bob, pls put me back.

Lemon (Levi Reed): init, I think

BOB Yes Init for jericho

TMO (Rothuss Carder): not actually moving here, but this is where I was aiming for

Jericho: [INIT] [d10 = 6]

Shislif (MeLange): aimed and hit!

Lemon (Levi Reed): We have found a nursery/breeding ground. At least two big podman protecting it that Levi could see, but four on the combat tracker. And tons of not fully formed babies

Carissa (Vee Barlett): tl;dr We have a healing potion and used two of the three shots, Rothuss is trying to distact these podmen so we can smash up this nursey then escape

Lemon (Levi Reed): Rothuss is attempting to distract them so we can smash the babies before dealing with the big guys

Michael (Jericho): (How do we keep finding these specific nursery areas)

Michael (Jericho): lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): also still don't know what the staff does

Michael (Jericho): (why haven't we tried it on anything?)

Shislif (MeLange): they're everywhere!

wyjyoon (Temperance): But Temperance is holding and hopefully will smash some things

TMO (Rothuss Carder): BOB - hello? Are you seeing my posts? Or are they getting lost?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Hoping Temperance will get a chance to whack something with the staff and figure out what it does

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we did on a wall and nothing happened

BOB Is that were you want to be TMO?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so Temp will try it on a corpse next

BOB I did move Rothuss

TMO (Rothuss Carder): PLEASE PUT ME BACK.

BOB Back to where?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Where he started from

Carissa (Vee Barlett): he was there and just throwing his voice where he is no, not moving

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I said "I'm not moving there, that's where I'm aiming the Ventriloquism at"

BOB Sorry I did miss the not moving there

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I noticed. :P

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it happens

wyjyoon (Temperance): So who's holding the potion bottle? Did it make it back to Vee?

wyjyoon (Temperance): In case we need to use it later

Carissa (Vee Barlett): sure

Rothuss Carder: sets the potion bottle on the ground because he forgot about it

Michael (Jericho): So Is jerichos's role just to smash stuff here?

Vee Barlett: grabs the potion bottle and pockets it.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Any reaction from the podmen Bob?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that and don't die

Lemon (Levi Reed): In theory, yes. But... something unexpected could happen

BOB Not yet

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think the podmen only react to warm bodies, right?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (oh....they react to warm breathing things remember?)

Rothuss Carder: Hmm, maybe they're deaf

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (yes exactly like ticks)

Michael (Jericho): (OK. good. Just making sure there as a plan before Jericho started massacreing)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (Temp told us that too)

Rothuss Carder: Expeditious Retreat

Rothuss Carder: runs through, whooping and laughing at the podmen

[TURN] Rothuss Carder

MeLange: god bless that man

Rothuss Carder: triple move is like 360 ft, right?

BOB yes

Vee Barlett: Not sure why I surround myself with idiots, but if it works...

Lemon (Levi Reed): oh god another door

TMO (Rothuss Carder): will stop there.

-> Rothuss Carder: The stone walls bulge and warp into melted-wax like shapes, a phantasmagorical nightmare of bulbous growths and abstract traceries. The river winds its way through a cut-stone channel in the floor and empties through a grate in the floor, crashing noisily against rocks below. A round desk carved in the same bizarre patterns as the walls stands near the floor grate, covered with papers and scrolls. The desk chair is a massive piece of carved wood, obviously not intended for a human. A scroll cabinet stands near the desk, and there is a bookcase with smoked-glass doors standing against the wall.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): also went silent when he entered the passage

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (we're all going to have PTSD from this adventure)

Temperance: blinks at the echoing laugh before it fades away

Shislif (MeLange): not an easy thing, killing babies

[TURN] Temperance - [Bardic Inspiration; ATK: 1; SAVE: 1; MORALE: 2; [D: 3]]

Lemon (Levi Reed): And I already have it from the stupid NPC in the giant fortress running down the hall and waking up all the bugbears...

Michael (Jericho): We could just not kill them. What are they going to do, knaw on us?

wyjyoon (Temperance): So running in and attacking?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Or should I hold?

Shislif (MeLange): guess we could just kill the guard n hopefully queen, then the babies just die of neglect presumably

Carissa (Vee Barlett): they're growing an army and we should smash them all

TMO (Rothuss Carder): hold until the podment move after Rothuss

Lemon (Levi Reed): They could turn into an army later and then we have to come back and fight them again for another stupid church mission or something

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (well if they didn't follow rothuss... kill and smash)

Temperance has delayed their turn until the end of round.

[TURN] Levi Reed - [Punching; BSTR: 0 | Bardic Inspiration; ATK: 1; SAVE: 1; MORALE: 2; [D: 3]]

Shislif (MeLange): we could just warn the church, let them worry about it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh duh all our turns are before theirs so yes, hold

Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, yes, but we're here now, so might as well smash

Levi Reed has delayed their turn until the end of round.

[TURN] Pod man Bodyguard

BOB Moves around looking for where that body went

[TURN] Pod man 1

[TURN] Jericho - [Bardic Inspiration; ATK: 1; SAVE: 1; MORALE: 2; [D: 3]]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if it gives bonuses then maybe? I think we'll need to kill them anyways

Michael (Jericho): Guys, I don't mind fighting...oddly...this adventure is making me rethink a lot of things, but these are just...pustules

Jericho: Guys, I don't mind fighting...oddly...this adventure is making me rethink a lot of things, but these are just...pustules

Jericho: Do we have to kill them?

Vee Barlett: They baby pod things so yeah?

Jericho: Er

Levi Reed: I mean... YOU don't have to, but I'm going to

Jericho: Sigh

Temperance: They may develop into more threatening creatures later on

Vee Barlett: points to Levi

Jericho: I'll throw a rock. I may need help overcoming my thing with actual violence

Vee Barlett: You can make sure Rothuss don't die if ya don't wanna pop pimples.

MeLange: We can take out the big ones first,then worry about the babies

Jericho: Sighs in obvious relief

Lemon (Levi Reed): We tried talking to them before. All they do is murder

Jericho: Yes I'll do that

Levi Reed: Yes I'll do that

Jericho: And I'll throw rocks at the big ones first

Levi Reed: We tried talking to them before. All they do is murder

Carissa (Vee Barlett): are you finishing each other sandwiches or accidentally copy?

Jericho: Don't let me die please

Lemon (Levi Reed): ddragged the wrong thing

Vee Barlett: Pop the pimples first.

Michael (Jericho): (It aint me :) ))

Vee Barlett: Don't toss anything yet so they move.

MeLange: Don't throw rocks before Levi n Me get a chance

Jericho: So just stay here?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (you can hold)

Michael (Jericho): (Can't, because I moved)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (wait until the end of this round and those things react to Rothuss then go)

Michael (Jericho): (Bob, can the Action be held)

Vee Barlett: prepares to parry as her action.

[TURN] MeLange - [Bardic Inspiration; ATK: 1; SAVE: 1; MORALE: 2; [D: 3]]

Shislif (MeLange): saves the rest of his turn

[TURN] Pod man 2

[TURN] Temperance - [Bardic Inspiration; ATK: 1; SAVE: 1; MORALE: 2; [D: 3]]

BOB No

Lemon (Levi Reed): Doesn't look like it

BOB He is out of the room

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Shislif (MeLange): maybe we should just run through too?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Hm. Move and save rest of turn? Not sure if I can hold twice

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I hate these pods

Lemon (Levi Reed): Hmmm. Not a bad idea. We can't run as fast as him though

TMO (Rothuss Carder): WHAT GOOD IS A DISTRACTION WHEN THEY DON'T GET DISTRACTED??

Shislif (MeLange): that's so funny a crazy man runs across their room and they just go about their day

wyjyoon (Temperance): He was too fast and furious

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm going to get an inferiority complex from this...

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

BOB They were distracted, they moved around looking for where that warm thing came from where did it go

Lemon (Levi Reed): Don't worry, it's not a complex if it's true

BOB But it disapeared so fast they could not find it

Temperance: moves behind Levi (and saves "action", if possible)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Rothuss still have a torch? Maybe he could throw it into the room?

Shislif (MeLange): seems like there's just 3 we need to fight, the bodyguard presumably being the toughest

TMO (Rothuss Carder): so what you're saying is I'm just TOO GOOD for my own good?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Like I said, too fast and furious

Carissa (Vee Barlett): llo

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *lol

BOB Spectacular

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so kill and smash

Shislif (MeLange): If Large pod needs a bodyguard there's a chance it don't fight much?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the bodyguard is likely tougher

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, and don't use the staff to smash babies in case it wakes them up or something. But definitely feel free to use it on an alive one to see if it can unalive it. Or control it.

Shislif (MeLange): so bodyguard first, if we can surprise attack it even better

Carissa (Vee Barlett): not sure how quick they move but Rothuss can split their party if he steps back into the room

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes to lemon

Shislif (MeLange): good point

Shislif (MeLange): he can keep the regular pod man busy

'wyjyoon' disconnected

Vee Barlett: remember Melange is best equipped and hardest to hit AND hardest hitter so... do as you will with that reminder

BOB She will be right back

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooc

Shislif (MeLange): Lol yes he can go in first

Shislif (MeLange): will I be able to with the remainder of my turn? or wait till next round n everybody holds till Mel goes?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Levi and Melange focus on fighting, Vee will keep the squishes safe while we smash? And Rothuss distracts by being a warm body

BOB No more movement this round

'wyjyoon' connected

BOB Levi still can

Shislif (MeLange): sounds good to me

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I think she just called Rothuss 'hot'

Carissa (Vee Barlett): same especially in discord during game

TMO (Rothuss Carder): turning around to go back, I mean

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oof yeah for sure, Carissa

Shislif (MeLange): parkour!

BOB Yes to tumbling, it would give a plus 4 to AC agaisnt the attack of opportunity if it swipes at you

TMO (Rothuss Carder): ok, but the skill roll wouldn't stop his movement?

Shislif (MeLange): Rothuss?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ah well then take back movement...

Shislif (MeLange): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

Vee Barlett: Levi, you make sure nothin' hurts Lirt, yeah? I got a bad feelin' about the bard.

Levi Reed: Don't worry, anything that wants to get through here is going to have to do it over my dead body

Levi Reed: Literally

wyjyoon (Temperance): BOB if I switch over to arrows can I still have the staff on Temperance or do I need to hand it to someone else?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so it's an open room and if she zig zags she can get there at 180 without getting caught?

BOB You can tuck the staff into your belt, etc.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Vee is saving Rothuss via SUPERSHANK, but otherwise nothing too important

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes and Vee is saving his ass

Carissa (Vee Barlett): run and shank does good damage

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Oh, wow. that was a run

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wait wait where's his +1 saving throws and stufff??

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Im seeing no adjustments

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay, if I move and switch to arrows can I still attack or is that it?

BOB There was no save

Shislif (MeLange): so much for the large one being a sloth lol

BOB It hit him and threw him

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I mean to attack saves and all. I see the effect but i don't see it added to the rolls

TMO (Rothuss Carder): instead of punching, the attack roll was to grab, and the damage was from the throw

TMO (Rothuss Carder): saving throw <> Armor Class

BOB I see that Mel got the bonus for his attack

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hmm so he's at zero... but that means not walking wounded right?

BOB Right

Carissa (Vee Barlett): thanks tmo

Michael (Jericho): No that means unconsious

Shislif (MeLange): got a tombstone on the icon

BOB IF you were to heal him this round not going to be walking wounded,

Michael (Jericho): Wendy, this is a Cure Light Wounds moment

BOB BUT there is no one who can do that before the end of the round

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that's touch

BOB No, cure light is touch and no one is near him

Shislif (MeLange): oh so he's not dead yet?

Michael (Jericho): (ah)

wyjyoon (Temperance): OH i can't move and do it?

BOB Not dead just at zero

Carissa (Vee Barlett): best we could do is Vee getting him healing potion before his turn

BOB bleeds out 1 every round

Carissa (Vee Barlett): every round or by his turn?

BOB Yes to Carissa

Shislif (MeLange): oh ok lol tombstone made me think he was dead

BOB On his turn

Michael (Jericho): (Jericho will do a healing proficiencyh and diagnostics check and bind wounds on Melange)

Michael (Jericho): (you guys kill this fucker)

Shislif (MeLange): careful though

Carissa (Vee Barlett): can he if he runs, though?

BOB Temperance is behind the curve still hearing the battle and Levi's cry when he sees Melange hit the wall

Michael (Jericho): It's not a spell> Jericho can bind wounds and move

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we just really need to make sure Melange can keep fighting

Michael (Jericho): Give th epotion to Jericho

BOB Can bind wounds

wyjyoon (Temperance): Um, so... go heal? Or move, switch to arrows and shoot?

BOB But not heal

Lemon (Levi Reed): Maybe give the staff to someone else? I don't want to risk Temperance in a fight but it might help us somehow

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but bind wounds would stop him from becomign walking wounded, right?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I can put it in my belt

BOB If done before his turn yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so someone can try to run to Melange, bind wounds, and he'll live

TMO (Rothuss Carder): staffs are 5-6 foot long

Michael (Jericho): So Jericho will do that as soo as I can

Carissa (Vee Barlett): BUT you may have to do a dex check

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Like Vee did

BOB Will have a dex check

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah but if like, Lirt or Jericho can try to use it on a corpse, or an attacking one, maybe it will do something useful

Michael (Jericho): Well, not much I can do there

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay, do you want me to do that?

Michael (Jericho): but, not a lot of options

wyjyoon (Temperance): With a dex check?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes to Temp

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'm hopign Vee can kill this podman instead of worrying about Melange

wyjyoon (Temperance): Not sure which direction I can move, so I'll try my best

BOB Temp will have to run around the corner in between the two podmen and across the stream to Melange

Carissa (Vee Barlett): will they have a chance to hit her?

BOB I stopped that

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm thinking to switch attacking to podman large? It seems like 2 would be easier to kill, but large is the bigger threat

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes to lemon

Temperance: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 11) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 12]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wait wend

wyjyoon (Temperance): OH wait

wyjyoon (Temperance): Take back that dex roll

wyjyoon (Temperance): Waiting sorry

BOB What I am trying to point out. Have to run that path AND once she passes 60 feet of movement cannot do something at the end

wyjyoon (Temperance): OH

wyjyoon (Temperance): So I can't move and bind him in the same turn?

BOB You can move up to 60 and bind him

BOB So use the measuring tools for who ever wants to try things to see what your options are

BOB Temp goes this round, then round 3 starts

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you can also try to move to Rothuss and Vee and shoot at this podman

Michael (Jericho): Jericho will not be able to make that distance and bind in one turn

Carissa (Vee Barlett): OR help kill the large one

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Looks like only Vee and Rothuss can

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So you all need to focus on the threat and TMO and I will figure out who gets to Melange

BOB Temperance has not gone yet this round

Michael (Jericho): KK

wyjyoon (Temperance): yes I have not gone yet.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Just thinking about what to do

Lemon (Levi Reed): Can she pass the staff to Jericho and still shoot?

BOB she can move but she will not get a move again before Melange's turn

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Just to check, does Rothuss know how to bind wounds, or does it take a healing NWP?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): drop staff and shoot is always an option

BOB Anyone can bind wounds

wyjyoon (Temperance): I can also put it in my belt, as BOB mentioned before

TMO (Rothuss Carder): thought so, but wanted to confirm

Carissa (Vee Barlett): large needs to die before it does that to someone else

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, but I feel like someone should try to use it, and that someone should not be you right now, because you are too squishy

Lemon (Levi Reed): Jericho is slightly less squishy and in theory, won't be fighting anyway

BOB Do you remember what I pointed otu earlier for Temperance on her check?

BOB Rods Staffs Wands

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay. If I move to where Melange was positioned before he moved to kill that bodyguard pod, can I shoot at the large one?

BOB Yes

Lemon (Levi Reed): I think that would be too close for comfort. You could stand in front of Lirt maybe?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Um. It was something about wands for mages and staffs for priests?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't remember the details, sorry BOB

BOB yes

BOB that is the essentials

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so what does the wand do Bobbbbb

Vee Barlett: *staff

BOB You need a priest or a mage to try it

Michael (Jericho): Just give it to me then

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Try it how? Apparently they need another hint

Michael (Jericho): I'm not doing anything else I guess

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay, so should I try the staff? or Jericho try the staff?

BOB I was just pointing that out to Lemon saying to give it to someone other than Temp

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ah, but Jericho is also priest, so that would still work

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Okay yes to that, but Wendy is a newbie. How does one try a staff?

BOB Use it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Use it how?

BOB Just roll the dice

Michael (Jericho): Oh! Sorry didn't know that was teh question

BOB Say what you are trying to do

Carissa (Vee Barlett): There you go. Now you two can decide what to do.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Flame Strike! Flame Strike!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay. Uh. Stop all movement or flame?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll stand in front of Lirt and try? Is that close enough?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oooh, yes, freeze all the podmen

Lemon (Levi Reed): or control them

Lemon (Levi Reed): or whatever

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll try halt movement and then next turn control if it works

Temperance: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(20)] [EFFECTS +1] [AC: 17 ] [d20-2 = 3]

Temperance: Halt movement, all thee Podmen!

BOB Ok

Michael (Jericho): (Then, explode!)

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol, but yes, fantastic

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol always is

Shislif (MeLange): lol i know :)

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, I got him.

wyjyoon (Temperance): I actually have to roll for the quaterstaff to take effect. I'm hoping it did from that last command

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hmm.... maybe hold and make sure they aren't moving, and if they aren't moving, we start smashing the nursery up while Levi takes down the barrel fish

Carissa (Vee Barlett): bob said you didn't have to roll so hopefully that's still true

TMO (Rothuss Carder): throw a rock at 2?

Michael (Jericho): Let's make sure that not repeatedly hitting them disrupts the sepll?

Michael (Jericho): some magic stops if damage is taken

Vee Barlett: you tossed a rock at it and Levi sliced it and they did not attack

Michael (Jericho): ah, that is right

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you went before them and they did nothing their turn

Michael (Jericho): apologies

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, they didn't attack?

Michael (Jericho): Then fair game

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no that's why it was clear it worked

TMO (Rothuss Carder): OH, I missed that something actually happened, so sorry.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it was subtle

wyjyoon (Temperance): Wow okay

Lirtimya: Temperance, you have to concentrate to do it properly, don't try anything else when you use it, just focus on using it's powers if you think something's there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ahh concentration spell, ok that's why you didn't have to reroll because your concentration didn't break

Temperance: Alright, thank you, I'll make sure to keep your words in mind, Lirtimya!

Michael (Jericho): Weould it be okay if we got our group back together before commencing mass slaughter? Formed up around Temp?

Michael (Jericho): We don't want concentration broken

Temperance: nods with a serious face

Temperance: and grips staff tightly

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the podmen aren't moving so that's just wasted movement

Michael (Jericho): I'm not owrried about the podman honestly

TMO (Rothuss Carder): does Vee still need rescuing? Rothuss is about to rush over there and attempt to stab

Carissa (Vee Barlett): i'd attack these and kill them and/or kill the babies

Michael (Jericho): OK

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if he does kill this one, Vee can give Melange the potion this round so yes to TMO

Carissa (Vee Barlett): feel free to toss a rock Mini if you want

BOB Lirt going to do anything else?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): forgot you were end now

TMO (Rothuss Carder): well, that's *assuming* Rothuss is capable of killing it. :P He can replace her there though

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol true

Carissa (Vee Barlett): shhh TMO pause first

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Michael (Jericho): Wendy, you do whatever it taeks to not be distracted

MeLange: that wasn't fun

TMO (Rothuss Carder): WHO JOSTLED THE BOARD? THAT WAS A 20!

BOB That is a total miss

Michael (Jericho): Wanted to see if a Helaing/Diagnostics might help. I remember bob said the last time if we did it right away, there MAY be some benefit, but I can't quite remember that enounter

Michael (Jericho): So, it may do nothing

Vee Barlett: Nah, didn't look it, but if that spell holds long enough, you can take yer revenge on 'em.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Guys, I'm tired and fading. After we clear this room, I need a nap

Shislif (MeLange): same

Michael (Jericho): I don't Suppose Wendy can order Large Podman to kill it's mini breatheen. Bob said they are like controlled zombies. They may not be smart enough for actualy knowledge they are killing their cohorts. That was a wis check from Jericho. WORST CASE, they just...don't?

Michael (Jericho): Can it hurt?

BOB be right back emptying and refilling

Carissa (Vee Barlett): believe so to sharif

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you're healed and can move and attack

Michael (Jericho): (well, and lemon but she is fading :) )

Shislif (MeLange): nap time sounds good though, let's finish this :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): I may have to reroll to do other commands

Michael (Jericho): Ah

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh missed your question one sec

Michael (Jericho): OK

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't know for sure since I don't know the staff really works yet : )

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yeah think Wendy is right

Michael (Jericho): No worries. Just a thought

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and some command spells don't let you do that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it breaks the spell

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so without knowing not sure it's worth risking yet

Michael (Jericho): Oh shit. Then. uh. yeah, dont' do that Wendy LOL

Michael (Jericho): sorry, just trying to figure out :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): No worries, it was good to think about, though : )

Lemon (Levi Reed): I would think we would be ok getting out of here now with a functional staff, yes? Like after we clear this room? Because the sleep is going to happen whether I want it to or not

Lemon (Levi Reed): But I do not want to wake to find everyone murdered

Michael (Jericho): Honestly, if we can clear this room, let's do a loot check? We might find another healing potion. It can't hurt?

Michael (Jericho): Then we can get the hell out?

wyjyoon (Temperance): If worse comes to worse I'll keep using the staff

Lemon (Levi Reed): yes and yes and yes

Michael (Jericho): I wonder if the evil muttering is the original controller finding that we stole his command rod LOL

wyjyoon (Temperance): It'll be like a game of freeze tag : ) Except I'm the one that's freezing them

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that means no nap for you

BOB back

Michael (Jericho): Lemon, if you must drink a gallon of coffee, I will Doordash you...what do you have there? Dunkin? Dutch Bros?

Michael (Jericho): :D

Michael (Jericho): (No just giving you ahard time :) )

BOB Yes if Temperance wants to change what her command is then it is a new roll

wyjyoon (Temperance): I know Lemon. She's going to sleep whether she wants to or not : )

Lemon (Levi Reed): Honestly, when I'm tired enough, the coffee doesn't help

Lemon (Levi Reed): But I probably have everything, it's Austin.

wyjyoon (Temperance): She downs energy drinks on Fridays

Michael (Jericho): Then, uh. Up to you Wendy, but hehe. I was just dumb on that

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll just keep them frozen for you as long as it lasts

Michael (Jericho): Oh man. Lemon, that stuff will kill your kidenyes. I know I drink liquid cancer in Diet Cokes, but kidney stones make me want to die

BOB So for Mel make a dex check to cross the stream

wyjyoon (Temperance): If I have to re-roll at any time I'll consider it

BOB and you get a plus four to attack

Lemon (Levi Reed): Nah, I drink coffee energy drinks, and it's like once a month

Carissa (Vee Barlett): stupid stream I keep forgetting it

MeLange: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 12]

Shislif (MeLange): or actually that works in C

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that's why Temp moved to middle of the room to stop all of them

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so two more podmen

Rothuss Carder: pulls back his sabre, picks out a point under the chin of the slimy pod thingy, and pushes his sabre point up through it.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Honestly I thank Temperance that she's less likely to laugh at every moment someone says something funny

Carissa (Vee Barlett): 1 is almost dead, 2 needs to die

MeLange: boy I'm tired

BOB Ok pause for a moment so I can make sure everyone understands

Michael (Jericho): OK

Shislif (MeLange): paused...

BOB You are in a very large room with a hundred or more pod things being grown, it will take many rounds if you want to try to clear out this room by hand.

BOB Also you have what Rothuss saw around the corner

The stone walls bulge and warp into melted-wax like shapes, a phantasmagorical nightmare of bulbous growths and abstract traceries. The river winds its way through a cut-stone channel in the floor and empties through a grate in the floor, crashing noisily against rocks below. A round desk carved in the same bizarre patterns as the walls stands near the floor grate, covered with papers and scrolls. The desk chair is a massive piece of carved wood, obviously not intended for a human. A scroll cabinet stands near the desk, and there is a bookcase with smoked-glass doors standing against the wall.

Lemon (Levi Reed): OR we use the staff to tell them to all spontaneously combust

Rothuss Carder: he hadn't had time to tell anyone, but now is as good a time as any

TMO (Rothuss Carder): he hadn't had time to tell anyone, but now is as good a time as any

Michael (Jericho): So......with that descritpion, back the way we came?

BOB and so you can decide if you want to spend many rounds here in this cave

Michael (Jericho): I say we do a quick loot check, and then skedaddle

BOB OR go through the library

Carissa (Vee Barlett): OR? Not both?

Shislif (MeLange): clearly we don't want to spend many rounds here I think ?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): we can split a bit - put the fast damage dealers like Mel on pod crushing, while observant people look around the corner.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok but if there's a scroll cabinet, shouldn't we want to see if we can get the scrolls?z

BOB You can spend the time here but just pointing out more civilized things around the corner so that would maybe lead to.....

Rothuss Carder: So, one thing I noticed is these things appear to be deaf

Shislif (MeLange): I mean we would clearly need to set em on fire or something

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we don't want another fight

Michael (Jericho): I'm kind of worried whatever sites in the chair will come back. We are not at peak performance. However, I will leave this to Vee as leader for this adventure

Shislif (MeLange): yea I'm down for checking out the library

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Actually this is Jericho's adventure :P

Carissa (Vee Barlett): BUT we don't need another fight

Michael (Jericho): Carissa, let's be serious

Lemon (Levi Reed): Scrolls could be amazing for our spellcasters

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hopefully without a caretaker these will die, and if not, we warn the church

Michael (Jericho): Has Jericho done any planning?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but we need to get out

Carissa (Vee Barlett): not so much about planning as deciding

Shislif (MeLange): but he said itj's civilized, implying we won't have to fight

Michael (Jericho): I agree. The church needs to know what's down here. Let's get paid. And come back in a few levels?

Michael (Jericho): Unless you want to do a quick rummage in the library, clear out a few valuables and then we GTFO?

Michael (Jericho): Sigh

BOB civilized as in desk, chair walls, door, not caverns with pods

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee at least smashed a few on her turn so we go

Michael (Jericho): Well, I do remember something bob said

Lemon (Levi Reed): I wonder if Levi can try sneaking in and confiscating some valuables?

Michael (Jericho): I will post it here

Michael (Jericho): is that okay?

Vee Barlett: so we take what proof we can from the desk and get to the church

BOB sure

Carissa (Vee Barlett): because they will barely believe us otherwise

Michael (Jericho): I will say, that if we go through the Library

Shislif (MeLange): that sounds good

Michael (Jericho): We brought up a critical fact

TMO (Rothuss Carder): bring back a pod baby and a pod man head?

'Spring' connected

BOB and Spring arrives

Michael (Jericho): Do we honestly believe that the Podmen are going the way we cam down to get out. While I HATE the thought of running into Chair Man (Patented Boss Name for Now), we MAY be able to find a shortcut out of this nightmare. Clearly, if there is nice stuff there, there MUST be an exit yes?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yesssss, let's bring back a baby. We've done murder and theft, why not add kidnapping?

Michael (Jericho): That is a fact from last session

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that's why we've been following the footprints

Michael (Jericho): I've brough it up, and we MAY be able to get out *Quickly*

wyjyoon (Temperance): Hopefully the command will cast long enough for you guys to explore that library then

Michael (Jericho): BUT, I DON"T KNOW

TMO (Rothuss Carder): going for the trifecta, Lemon!

Lemon (Levi Reed): Great, so onward through the library

Michael (Jericho): After a short recess for people bob?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Let Levi try to sneak and grab something first and see if he triggers anything?

Michael (Jericho): I don't want anyone to miss the cool part?

Lemon (Levi Reed): My nap will be hours, let's do the library first while I'm still holding on

Carissa (Vee Barlett): to Michael's point, this is why we're following the footprints because that's where things walk or am I missing another point you're making? just want to check

Shislif (MeLange): if we take a break I'll probably nap so best to get it over with now

BOB Say 10 minutes for everyone to grab a drink, plot plan and enter the libary at 4:10

Michael (Jericho): What I mean, is that while I'm terrified of another hostile encounter, I believe we can find a quicker way out

Michael (Jericho): :)

Lemon (Levi Reed): It's already 4:10

Carissa (Vee Barlett): than the library?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): 10 minute nap time! zzzzzzz

Michael (Jericho): I'm for that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): sorry definiftely not being obtuse, just trying to understand

Michael (Jericho): I'll need 15, I actually have a couple quick things I NEED to get done today

Michael (Jericho): You're not being obtuse. We are typing out a complicated set of actions

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So my thought is we are following the footsteps because if things walk that way, it may be how we get out.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Which is not the way we came in

Michael (Jericho): yes. At the same time, I REALLY want to avoid confrontation if we can help it.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): And your point is agreeing we are going a way we did not come in, yes?

Michael (Jericho): Yes

Michael (Jericho): IN THE HOPE!

Michael (Jericho): Keyword HOPE

Carissa (Vee Barlett): agree and agree

Michael (Jericho): We get out quick

Michael (Jericho): OK

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss' spell will probably end before we get to teh Library

Michael (Jericho): Anyone concur or deny

BOB Yes

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I forgot to put the effect on him, and it lasts for 6 rounds

Michael (Jericho): Cool

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we may still have some confrontation with the owner of all this because PLOT POINT but minimize fighting except that potential

Lemon (Levi Reed): So we just need to decide do we go in the library, or keep following the stream?

Michael (Jericho): So, talk fast

Michael (Jericho): gotcha

Lemon (Levi Reed): Can I roll skills or are we still in rounds?

BOB Stream cuts through the library

Michael (Jericho): I am now stepping away because I honestly need 15 minutes

Michael (Jericho): BRB

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, then wtf is that closed door

Lemon (Levi Reed): Let's not go closed door

TMO (Rothuss Carder): that's incredibley bad for the books. All that humidity?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I agree TMO

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol lemon yes it's a don't find out unless we smell fresh air

Lemon (Levi Reed): We know the entrance is stream, so we should be albe to follow stream back up?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Can we tell which direction this stream is flowing?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I think we're going out a different way not the waterfall

BOB down stream into that grate

The stone walls bulge and warp into melted-wax like shapes, a phantasmagorical nightmare of bulbous growths and abstract traceries. The river winds its way through a cut-stone channel in the floor and empties through a grate in the floor, crashing noisily against rocks below. A round desk carved in the same bizarre patterns as the walls stands near the floor grate, covered with papers and scrolls. The desk chair is a massive piece of carved wood, obviously not intended for a human. A scroll cabinet stands near the desk, and there is a bookcase with smoked-glass doors standing against the wall.

wyjyoon (Temperance): BRB here too. Putting some dishes away.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but if the stream is emptying then it's going down. We are down. WE need to go up

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah but there were three forks in the stream near the entrance

Lemon (Levi Reed): We could easily be heading up one of those

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ah

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I was going to say you remembered something I didn't but I don't think I was here for that

Lemon (Levi Reed): Assuming we'er heading upstream, but I'm not SURE

Lemon (Levi Reed): But obviously upstream is the way to go, as we don't want to be going deeper

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

BOB and also Yes to Levi getting new checks for this room

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 5]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we cut through library quickly, swipe things from the desk, and hope for the best

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Direction Sense [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 8]

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Distance Sense [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 15]

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 2]

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Spelunking [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 7) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 7]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): is Vee up there for some checks?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I misread that as Badger Tracking

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

Lemon (Levi Reed): Spring!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): SPRING! Hello!

Lemon (Levi Reed): hello!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): how oddly specific

Shislif (MeLange): Hi Spring!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): HI hi hi

BOB Levi knows that A - you have explored all the areas from the slide into piranas so far other than the other side of that door in the library

wyjyoon (Temperance): back with a snack. Hi Spring! : )

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I am FILTHY

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you missed the baby murdering but that's okay

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I ... might be happy to miss any baby murdering

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, dont' worry, we're also kidnapping one. You can murder it later if youw ant

BOB B - that with this being at least a second or third grate that means there must be a level below this too

Lemon (Levi Reed): I do not care about levels below, only above

BOB exactly

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol spring if it makes you feel better they're just gloopy things so more like pimple popping according to veve

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *vee

Shislif (MeLange): we eventually stopped murdering them because there were too many

Lemon (Levi Reed): So we are currently heading upstream, yes or no?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): The first word JTom read was a green EXIT sign in a convention center. JTOM - Go find the Exit sign here!

BOB and one last point.... the floor of the library is sloped slightly to send the water into that grate, so what ever is on the other side of that door should be higher ground

Lemon (Levi Reed): Fantastic

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Remember, the closest exit may be behind you.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Then yes to Carissa's plan. Quick snatch on the way through and let's go

wyjyoon (Temperance): Sounds good

Shislif (MeLange): agreed

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but after our short break, yes? my cats want food

BOB go

wyjyoon (Temperance): Feed your felines : )

BOB I will line up people

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and so do I so I'll be quick while you catch Spring up

User has gone AFK. (Carissa)

BOB Wendy fill spring in please

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes : )

Rothuss Carder: I just got this text from my wife: "Baby killer!"

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, well I'm going to do a nap. I will be back whenever I wake up. Husband mentioned something about going out and bringing food back, so probably whenever that happens.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): ooc

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol amazing

'Lemon' disconnected

Shislif (MeLange): in that case I will head out as well

Spring (Ratbone Carder): nitey nite Lemon

Shislif (MeLange): I was just waiting for Lemon to leave first :)

Shislif (MeLange): I also gotta make some food stuff so may be a while

BOB Don't forget about us

Shislif (MeLange): I'll be back :)

Shislif (MeLange): good luck!

'Shislif' disconnected

wyjyoon (Temperance): So tl;dr, this cavern had a large ogre podman who commands a small bodyguard podman and baby / juvenile podmen. We waited to see if they would take Rothuss rushing through to divert attention, and then let them attack first. The staff worked to freeze them up, Mel got two hits of the unidentified potion that turned out to be a healing one, and everyone took turns killing baby podmen : )

wyjyoon (Temperance): Hope that was a good enough summary

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Thanks!

wyjyoon (Temperance): I was here an hour late, so whatever happened before that I wasn't here for : )

TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, we *did* kill the babies. I'll have to correct my response to my wife

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I did notice that the people close to death before were a lot less close to death

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yeah, the unidentified potion was healing. Unfortunately it's consumed, but once we get out of here Temperance can cast an orison or any healing for anyone who needs it

[TURN] Levi Reed - [Punching; BSTR: 0]

[TURN] Rothuss Carder

BOB all set to explore, I set everyone's Init number to the order they are in hallway

BOB I will be right back going to move a bit,

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I am sort of here once we're all ready to go, just need to stir pan a few times

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Everything hurts. I should take this time to look for medicine

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): Please do

wyjyoon (Temperance): I brought Tylenol in case this booster decides to do me a new one

BOB back

Carissa (Vee Barlett): my booster knocked me out, but not until 12-18 hours later

BOB please take care of your self

BOB From here out it is try to make quick decisions, move from room to room to get back upstream

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well with Melange and Levi AWOL now, would Temp be willing to give Vee a light healing at this pause?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes I would! Would that be okay for everyone?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Cure Light Wounds?

BOB How much would your Orison be?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Okay took meds

Carissa (Vee Barlett): 4 hP if she's level 1

wyjyoon (Temperance): Um. I have two level 1 spells

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I do not object to Vee getting healing

wyjyoon (Temperance): I guess 4HP then because 3 HP + 1 HP?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

BOB so 4 hp healed by an Orison

wyjyoon (Temperance): If I use one slot

BOB OR 1d8 healed by a Cure Light Wounds

wyjyoon (Temperance): And Cure Light Wounds would be random, right?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): apparently Michael had the math wrong earlier so not sure you did as well, but one orison with a base of three

Carissa (Vee Barlett): how much time would it take for Ratbone to hype us up?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or can she hype us up as we move and hope we don't have combat until we're hyped?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I don't think Inspiration will help healing

Michael (Jericho): Back

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no but I'll take any bonuses to rolls I can get

Spring (Ratbone Carder): We are not in combat now? It takes 3 rounds of continuous performance

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if it doesn't cost much in time or skills

Spring (Ratbone Carder): It costs time

Carissa (Vee Barlett): can she do that as we move, tho?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): That part I don't know, will look again

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and we hope three rounds worth pass before it becomes a problem? that way we aren't stopping

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I need to go start cooking dinner, it shouldn't take me too long, after I do the start I just leave it for a few hours, I'll be back!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): go make food

'JtomTMO' disconnected

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't mind using Orison either. I'll just be down to one spell slot afterwards

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes please

Carissa (Vee Barlett): just one for now for Vee

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Inspiration won't help with healing. It's only good for attack, saves, and any belief-based stuff that requires morale

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and from now on, if we see podmen, we just go past them

Michael (Jericho): Agreed

Vee Barlett: Yes I know for inspiration, don't want it for healing. Just want it for any bonuses to rolls.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooc

Michael (Jericho): Yep!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay, so do I roll on Vee's token? Kinda forgot how to cast

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Oh in case of attack, got it

Michael (Jericho): I noticed that Jericho was hitting A LOT more

Carissa (Vee Barlett): for orison just tell bob how many and to who

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Temp be ready with staff commands

Michael (Jericho): And we may need to just introduce a character growth story element after this mission. Jericho is getting more familiar with blood and gore, it just might still be hard to hit something with a club

wyjyoon (Temperance): I can give 4 HP for one spell slot with Orison. Do you want me to divide that or do you want me to go all in on Vee?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that works for him

Carissa (Vee Barlett): all to Vee please

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes : )

Carissa (Vee Barlett): since our two other fighters are napping

Michael (Jericho): both in game for now, and OO game :)

Temperance: [INIT] [MOD:Orison] [d10+4 = 7]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I think we can easily find some justification for Jericho if you're wanting to go that route, we just need to know you were

Vee Barlett's health adjusted by +4

Michael (Jericho): ON the plus side, got my car battery replaced, so I accomplished something!

wyjyoon (Temperance): To Vee Bob, if you please

BOB Vee Barlett's health adjusted by +4

Spring (Ratbone Carder): yay michael!

Michael (Jericho): He was in about 5 years IRL, but this was ridiculous

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and maybe the horrors of the cave made him okay with throwing rocks, but clubs are just still way too close and personal and that's okay

Carissa (Vee Barlett): also why throwing fire is okay because he's not touching them directly

Michael (Jericho): Maybe COUGH, Vee could offer to spar, that way he feels less ackward about a club...

wyjyoon (Temperance): And yes Carissa I'll be ready with staff for commands should anything happen

Michael (Jericho): Maybe even take a WP for an actual weapon lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Can I move and concentrate when casting at the same time though?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I don't see anything in the description about inspiration halting because the bard is on the move

wyjyoon (Temperance): Don't know what level of concentration this thing needs

BOB Correct for Spring

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I think I get to sing and walk at the same time. if needed, i can dance along

Michael (Jericho): Since Vee maybe pisses him off, but views her as a mostly friend. Frankly, with how much they've been through in such a short amount of time, it brings people closer together. Just ask my team at work. holy shit we went from dysfunctional to a well oiled machine

Spring (Ratbone Carder): But I have to do all the inspiring before combat, and then inspiration lasts 2 rounds at my level

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you moved and concentrated earlier, but probably a slow walk/limited movement

BOB and for Wendy, it is a learnign experience but thinking about how well can you concentrate on something and then doing soemthing else

Michael (Jericho): well, that was two teams ago anyways

Michael (Jericho): diff company

BOB when TMO is back and ready

BOB the five of you can move into the library

Michael (Jericho): Cautiosly

TMO (Rothuss Carder): be right with you

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and yes to michael (went to stir food) we can explore that later

TMO (Rothuss Carder): on discord call

Carissa (Vee Barlett): how dare you

BOB No worries

Michael (Jericho): stirring food is important

Spring (Ratbone Carder): So we are finding that with podmen it's just best to rush by them?

Michael (Jericho): nods sagely

BOB I have a plan for Jericho.....

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well given how hurt we are and with no healing left .... yes

Michael (Jericho): Oh FUCK,

Michael (Jericho): The last time you had a plan

Michael (Jericho): for a character of mine

BOB It is in the notes about the pantheon

Michael (Jericho): (sorry for language)

Spring (Ratbone Carder): The Cylons. They have a plan.

Michael (Jericho): (My heart stopped)

BOB so after you get to the Church of the Mists

BOB can enlighten you more

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So the current plan is rush throuhg the library, someone grab what they can off the desk, and we go. Maybe try to grab some scrolls if anyone is feeling brave, but no more exploring. We're getting out.

Michael (Jericho): get there? Hell, I just want to live long enough to escape the 9th circule of the hells

Michael (Jericho): we might as well be in Avernus

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if Bob believes in us, we must believe in ourselves

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or something

Michael (Jericho): something something cat poster "Hang in there"

Michael (Jericho): :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): As Carissa said yesterday

Spring (Ratbone Carder): :-)

Temperance: BELIEF

wyjyoon (Temperance): OOC

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

BOB Poster with a mushroom growing out of a frog... I believe in you

Michael (Jericho): Bob...I want to say something REALLY inappropirate at you at the moment

Michael (Jericho): but Mini might see it

BOB That is a real thing

Michael (Jericho): Wait

Michael (Jericho): Please tell me it isen't

BOB go look for mushroom growing out of frog

Michael (Jericho): I'll never be able to look at onther mushroom or slime creature again

Michael (Jericho): gags

BOB The frog is alive

Carissa (Vee Barlett): fungus is the number one frog killed besides predation

Carissa (Vee Barlett): poor things are very susceptible to fungus

Michael (Jericho): So soon to be dead frog

Carissa (Vee Barlett): depends on the fungus on how quick but usually yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): Poor frogs : (

Michael (Jericho): because of the mucus?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes their skin barrier just isn't well equip to handle fungus with some species exceptions

Michael (Jericho): Yeah, poor frogs

TMO (Rothuss Carder): back

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the main one killing them now came from african claw frogs imports who are resistent but the one shere are not

TMO (Rothuss Carder): sorry to keep you

Carissa (Vee Barlett): forget which fungus...white spot or something?

Michael (Jericho): Fungal stuff is really really bad. It's also a terrible fate for humans too

Michael (Jericho): Medicine can only do so much for that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Chytrid

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well yeah, because we haven't done research on it like we have with antibiotics

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it's probably less the fungus and more our lacking investment in caring

wyjyoon (Temperance): Well... frogs and fungus might be something Temperance might want to research later : ) In addition to many other things

Michael (Jericho): I may be mistaken, but I thought that fungal stuff is almost certain death if in your body

BOB I am ready when you are

TMO (Rothuss Carder): to avoid me slowing you all down by reading everything that's happened right now, any highlights I should be aware of first?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): and I'll read the rest in the archives later

Michael (Jericho): Mostly just talkinga bout unfortunate frogs

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Nah, we have anti-fungals and most deaths so far are usually immune compromised, but we don't have a lot of antifungals to use and they grow resistence so... we have less we can try

Michael (Jericho): We decided if any more (good to know carissa!), pods, we just run TMO

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Plan is: We run. We don't kill pods. Someone brave can search for scrolls quickly. Someone else grab stuff of the desk. We don't waste time. We go. From the library to wherever.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Other than the plan of going in quick, grabbing things from the desk, and getting out, we talked about frogs : )

Michael (Jericho): We are entering the library. Remember, "Silence in the Library" Just because it looks empty...

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm all out of superspeed for the day

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee can keep watch so someone else(s) can do a quick rummage. Ratbone will attempt to inspire as we walk. Temp has the staff in case.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Should we have specific people grabbing things?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So, uh, really that leaves Rothuss and Jericho free to quickly grab things

Michael (Jericho): Anything magical or artifact is good. Scrolss and evidence is also good

BOB When you are ready I will repost the descriptions

Michael (Jericho): We did get the evidence right?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Forgot Temperance was holding the staff

Michael (Jericho): Someone took a Head or something?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): No evidence yet. Except maybe a corpse and the staff. That's why the notes on the desk should be an easy swipe. The scrolls... might be locked away so we may have to leave them.

Michael (Jericho): Also might be trapped.

Michael (Jericho): There is a level one spell for detect traps, but Jericho is tapped out

Carissa (Vee Barlett): We can look and see without touching the notes.

wyjyoon (Temperance): I have one level one spell

Carissa (Vee Barlett): The scrolls I worry might be a trap. But the notes could be about the church or something.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Save it, Wendy. That is our literal last healing

Michael (Jericho): I'm down for that first, and then we figure out the rest

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes : )

Michael (Jericho): And kinda agree Wendy :)

Effect ['Bardic Inspiration;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;MORALE: 2'] -> [to Ratbone Carder]

Michael (Jericho): Not tring to tell you or anything, just a consideration :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): my food is cooking slowly so ready whenever

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Hm, how do I make inspiration work on us all?

Michael (Jericho): Also, I lied. Detect traps i slater. This was snares or pits

wyjyoon (Temperance): Nah, I like to take feedback! It's all a learning experience for me, so it helps : )

Michael (Jericho): :D

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Oh, definitely considered it. But it doesn't expect anything down here so I wouldn't expect the desk to be trapped. The scrolls, maybe. The bookcase that is closed? Probably.

Michael (Jericho): So...roll checks!

BOB You drag the Effect to each Token on the Combat Tracker

Carissa (Vee Barlett): a question for TMO, Spring

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or Bob lol

Michael (Jericho): Jericho is looking for anything that can give us greater insight into what is going on down here.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): also remind us what Levi got with his rolls?

Jericho: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 19) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 15]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I think his rolls said yes go through the library?

Michael (Jericho): The only stat Jericho is good for. The 19 Wisdom

TMO (Rothuss Carder): click the magnifying glass next to Inspiration, drag the little manikin effect to each person affected

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but never hurts to roll others

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if you fail you learn nothing... but you learn nothing if you don't roll, either

Jericho: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 4]

Michael (Jericho): Well. Good Job Carissa!

Michael (Jericho): Apparently, we are AWESOME at knowledge and investiation...

Michael (Jericho): lol

Temperance: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 15] [d20 = 1]

Michael (Jericho): OK. Two priests with those rolls?

Jericho: [SKILL] Reading/Writing [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 4]

Michael (Jericho): Snort

Michael (Jericho): Reading too LOL

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (good for looking at the papers on the desk)

BOB So are you ready ?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I think so from these rolls, lol

Jericho: [SKILL] Investigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 17]

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 11]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Once Spring gets her effect going

Ratbone Carder: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 3]

Michael (Jericho): So, great at everything, except investigation LOL

Effect ['Bardic Inspiration;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;MORALE: 2'] -> [to Rothuss Carder] [by Ratbone Carder]

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 5]

Michael (Jericho): At least we have an idea of what we are looking for

Effect ['Bardic Inspiration;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;MORALE: 2'] -> [to Jericho] [by Ratbone Carder]

Effect ['Bardic Inspiration;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;MORALE: 2'] -> [to Temperance] [by Ratbone Carder]

Effect ['Bardic Inspiration;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;MORALE: 2'] -> [to Vee Barlett] [by Ratbone Carder]

Effect ['Bardic Inspiration;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;MORALE: 2'] -> [to Lirtimya] [by Ratbone Carder]

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll let Jericho do the reading : )

Michael (Jericho): I think we rolled enough proficiencies

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you usually don't need to unless it's a difficult thing to read

Effect ['Bardic Inspiration;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;MORALE: 2'] -> [to Levi Reed] [by Ratbone Carder]

Ratbone Carder: singing

Michael (Jericho): (That was kinda a joke Wendy. We don't ofter use that Proficiency :) )

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Sage Knowledge, Island Kingdoms [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 9]

Michael (Jericho): lol

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Land Scent [PERCENT:Land Scent] (vs. Target 20) [FAILURE by 70] [d100 = 90]

Vee Barlett: tries to smell fresh air but it's too humid

Ratbone Carder: Several times, just this week, we have nearly died

BOB Ok so I am going to start with the descriptions then

Michael (Jericho): Yeah...

The stone walls bulge and warp into melted-wax like shapes, a phantasmagorical nightmare of bulbous growths and abstract traceries. The river winds its way through a cut-stone channel in the floor and empties through a grate in the floor, crashing noisily against rocks below. A round desk carved in the same bizarre patterns as the walls stands near the floor grate, covered with papers and scrolls. The desk chair is a massive piece of carved wood, obviously not intended for a human. A scroll cabinet stands near the desk, and there is a bookcase with smoked-glass doors standing against the wall.

BOB and from that what are you making those rolls against?

Ratbone Carder: Here we are, kicking ass, and we haven't fried!

Michael (Jericho): Specifically, Jericho is looking for evidence and an idea of the goal down here for Chair Villian

Michael (Jericho): Not artifcats

Michael (Jericho): Not magic

Ratbone Carder: WE ARE THE BEST! Now let's loot the room!

Michael (Jericho): Just evidence and understanding

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (and looking at the desk and the papers?)

Ratbone Carder: WE ARE THE BEST! We have no time for gloom!

Michael (Jericho): (All of the above)

Michael (Jericho): (Any theives to look for valuable?)

Michael (Jericho): (not sure if we have that class)

Michael (Jericho): (sorry)

BOB There is a desk, there is a scroll cabinet, there is a bookshelf

BOB ok

Ratbone Carder: BUT WE ARE THE BEST! And only better with our friends!

Michael (Jericho): Up to you

Michael (Jericho): Jericho has the desk

Michael (Jericho): Pray it isn't trapped

The documents on the desk are written in a spidery script. Most of them are long and involved mathematical calculations involved in cultivating pod-men; nutrient requirements, growth- cycles, and the like.

Michael (Jericho): Gods

Michael (Jericho): This is

BOB Jericho does not understand teh writing

Rothuss Carder: pokes around at random.

Michael (Jericho): Disguisting

Carissa (Vee Barlett): OOC or IC?

Ratbone Carder: singing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but uh yeah we should swipe that

Michael (Jericho): Can he gain a bouns against podmen in the future for the mathematics, diagrams, and/or a poison that would affect them thorugh their nutrion?

Ratbone Carder: Did you know? Did you know I dropped my rations

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

BOB Do you want to spend time thinking about that now?

Ratbone Carder: Did you know? I'll sing it from the bastions

Temperance: grips the staff, observing the room in case something unexpected takes place

Michael (Jericho): No, he sweeps the papers into his bag

Michael (Jericho): Someone else can read it i'm sure

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (Bob reminded us to pick up our rations again so even if you were a round behind I assume you grabbed them)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): you should have your rations back. one of the things we did before coming back up the slide was pick up dropped rations.

Ratbone Carder: I really loved the oatmeal bars, I'll miss pemmican

Amid the sheaves of parchment there is one containing the single word "Fahoorth."

Michael (Jericho): (I actually left 2 because it kept Jericho light. It boosted his stats)

Michael (Jericho): I'm sorry

Michael (Jericho): He still has ALOT

BOB There is the door to the south

Michael (Jericho): (That was Wendy right Bob?)

Michael (Jericho): (Jericho was desk rummaging)

BOB That was on the desk

Ratbone Carder: The raisins and the nuts were great to eat, who knows when I can again!

Michael (Jericho): He adds it to his bag

Michael (Jericho): Carefully folding and sticking it into a book about Herbalism

Michael (Jericho): Camoflogue

Ratbone Carder: How I move and miss my rations!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): *love

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Spring, if you want to spread the load of your rations out, we can do that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Boobbbb, Rothuss keeps pointing at meeeeee

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Make him stoppp

Ratbone Carder: strummy strum strum

BOB grins

Michael (Jericho): So Jericho did his thing.

Ratbone Carder: And yet, and yet, and yetty yet yet! WE ARE THE BEST!

Michael (Jericho): but is happy to keep rolling. But, that is probably more time whie the others can do a check

BOB and you are at the door having spent three rounds in the room so far

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Okay I guess i"m done singing LOL

Michael (Jericho): Bob, the others were also investigating. That is included in three rounds right

Michael (Jericho): ?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I sing for 3 rounds and now we are inspired

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee rolled obs, tracking, and something else for ideas on which door to get through?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): You should feel stirred about how I ditched my food for you

Carissa (Vee Barlett): her rolls are on how to get out

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and if Rothuss wants to poke around the scrolls he can or not

Carissa (Vee Barlett): for his turn

BOB The door in front of Rothuss

wyjyoon (Temperance): If observation applies to looking around the room I did that

wyjyoon (Temperance): Just for general ... unexpected encounters

Carissa (Vee Barlett): last call for TMO then we move on

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Oh TMO I just scrolled back. I assumed my rations were still in the cave where I dumped them, I doubt anyone thought to pick them up

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss is poking at random, so scrolls sounds good

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Oh I just scrolled back more where you said we got them. NVM

TMO (Rothuss Carder): you people pick ALL THE BEST TIMES to call for me. :P

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I wasn't reading while singing

Spring (Ratbone Carder): composing takes all the brain cycles

Michael (Jericho): Wendy got whatever she was looking for?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): What do you need from Rothuss for looking at scrolls, Bob?

Michael (Jericho): TMO, We looked for documents, Rothuss to look for valuables or artifacts?

Michael (Jericho): Oh, you looking at scross

wyjyoon (Temperance): ? What was I looking for? I was told to be ready with a staff in case something happened

BOB He can open the cabinet if he wants

Rothuss Carder: Wonder what's in here?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Temp and Vee were keeping an eye out for signs of someone else ocming and/or a way to exit

Michael (Jericho): I'm sorry Wendy, you rolled excellent wisdome and intelligence. I thought you were reviewing scross

The cabinet contains 3 scrolls.

Michael (Jericho): my bad

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Carissa I see you said the same. Sorry I didn't see it. I was trying to rhyme "pemmican"

Rothuss Carder: Oo.. paper. Fun.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So Vee is standing there, tapping her foot and watch, reminding them to be fast because she does like loot, but she also likes to be alive

Rothuss Carder: Sure, why not?

Rothuss Carder: rolls them into his pack.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol no worries spring

Michael (Jericho): Bob, may Jericho do one last check for a small thing on the desk?

Parcel [002.012 Room 29 Treasure in cabinet] -> [Rothuss Carder]

Michael (Jericho): In the three rounds?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I did roll them just in case since I had them : )

wyjyoon (Temperance): But my thing was staff and exit : )

Michael (Jericho): (No worries :) )

BOB what is he looking for?

Michael (Jericho): A letter opener

Michael (Jericho): specifically

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes think Bob told us this door down here or he was letting the other two rummage before we focus on us

wyjyoon (Temperance): Will a dagger work?

Michael (Jericho): (no letter opener)

wyjyoon (Temperance): For letter opener I mean

Michael (Jericho): (I mean, unless it's a dagger)

Michael (Jericho): (A big chair)

BOB No letter opener in the desk

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee's letter opener is

Michael (Jericho): Thank you

Michael (Jericho): I'm done

Vee Barlett: Y'all good?

Rothuss Carder: looks behind the cabinet and under teh shelves for hidden compartments.

Michael (Jericho): Jericho wouldn't be looking for anything else at the moment. Treasure is fun, but looks like Roghuss took care of that

Michael (Jericho): So, we outie

Michael (Jericho): Three roungs

TMO (Rothuss Carder): (note: he'll probably have no chance of seeing anything even if it's there)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): bookshelf was last possiblity but also possibly trapped

Ratbone Carder: Ya did good, brother, let's split

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Wait, trapped? O_O

Michael (Jericho): (Unforutnatly unless we stay longer, bookshelf is pending.)

Michael (Jericho): (Spur of moment. We open the bookshelf?)

BOB Ok so who is going through the door?

Rothuss Carder: Sure, I've always wanted to loot a fancy office. Let's go.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well it's a fancy bookshelf and it's in a cabinet so if there WAS a trap, I'd guess there but up to you two

BOB Or are you opening the bookcase

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee votes door.

Michael (Jericho): Door

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I suggest we leave it for the gods and go for the door

BOB So move to the door and

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So Vee will peek through the door

Michael (Jericho): Greed is a sure way to death

Vee Barlett: peeks through the door carefully

Michael (Jericho): but is fun

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or Rothuss okay

Temperance: grips staff tightly in preparation

This room contains three forty-gallon vats standing on low stone tripods. A slow fire burns beneath one of the great cauldrons, which is giving off wisps of greenish steam from the liquid within. Near the vats, a single six-foot pod hangs from the ceiling; unlike all the other pods found in the cavern complex, this one is a fleshy reddish pink, and has pulsing green veins running across its surface. The room also contains a long worktable, its surface covered with untidy piles of parchment notes.

The pod contains a human who is being converted into a pod man by the Shroom.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

The worktable is covered in sheaves of parchment written in a strange, spidery hand.

Michael (Jericho): Ewwwwwwwwwww

Michael (Jericho): MORE DOCUMETNS!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Temperance would be intrigued, but I say yikes

Michael (Jericho): Jericho hyperventilates when he finally gets in

wyjyoon (Temperance): To the human converted podman, not the documents

Michael (Jericho): lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so the human is like.... too far gone?

Michael (Jericho): Try anyways

Michael (Jericho): it's a fate worse then death

Michael (Jericho): please

Rothuss Carder: D'you think we can set it free? Or is it too late?

Michael (Jericho): please

Michael (Jericho): please

Michael (Jericho): better a death then pod

Vee Barlett: You can try to stab it and kill it. Quickly.

Vee Barlett: Can you?

Jericho: I dont' know!

Jericho: I need to see the body

Vee Barlett: Because if not, I'm going to kill it while it's tied up and can't fight back.

Michael (Jericho): I'm not reading bob, he rolled prof checks on what he's already learned

Jericho: tha'ts fine

Jericho: better a quick death then

Jericho: trails off

Jericho: please?

Vee Barlett: walks over and pokes it with her trident

Vee Barlett: as far from it as she can

Jericho: flapping his hands as he tries to examine the body

Jericho: attempting to not vomit at Vee's slicing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): waiting to see what Bob says

Jericho: oh my god

Carissa (Vee Barlett): is plant man the thing?

Jericho: Can you hear me?

Jericho: Tentatively

BOB vague nodding

Vee Barlett: Damn it.

Temperance: reaches over and gives Jericho what is hopefully a sympathetic pat on the shoulder

Jericho: Do you know who you are?

Vee Barlett: pokes the pod top to try to cut him free

Jericho: almost hyperventiliating

Jericho: Can you come with us?

BOB barely nodding

Jericho: Vee?

Jericho: Hesitatntly

Jericho: Please?

Jericho: I know it's dumb

BOB and Vee's slice opens it up and it falls out

Jericho: I'll try and help him along?

Vee Barlett: You drag him. I need my hands friend then.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *free

Jericho: Vomits to the side

BOB free

Vee Barlett: I either kill it or you drag it along.

Jericho: Carefully approaches

Jericho: wary

Vee Barlett: See if it can point to a way out.

Jericho: Tries to gently lift it up

Michael (Jericho): (Waiting to see if pounces or bob wants a roll)

BOB He/it seems focused on Jericho following like a puppy

wyjyoon (Temperance): It's imprinted on him

Michael (Jericho): Oh my god this got so dark so quickly

Michael (Jericho): I'm honestly sick

Rothuss Carder: I think it likes you.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): don't think too hard about it until we get out of here

Jericho: Come on

Jericho: Can you point a way out?

Jericho: Gently supporting

BOB Does not seem to be able to understand meaning just intent

Michael (Jericho): Out?

BOB You freed, must be friend

Jericho: Out?

Jericho: Yes Friend, but out?

Vee Barlett: Well I see another grate with water so we go upstream.

Ratbone Carder: I don't think he knows anything

Jericho: Nods

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (although she did her tracking check if that helps)

Vee Barlett: Let's go.

The solution in this vat is a pale green in color, with the consistency of milk.

BOB That is the vat over the fire

This vat contains a blue fluid.

Jericho: Passes a water skin hestiatnyl to see if it chas a concept of water

Carissa (Vee Barlett): isn't this a stream?

The pod contains a human who is being converted into a pod man by the Shroom.

The stuff in this vat is extremely gummy and sticky, like an adhesive stew. It tastes bad.

BOB yes a stream

Carissa (Vee Barlett): who would taste it??????

Michael (Jericho): It TASTES BAD?

BOB and Vee needs an observation

The tunnel passage continues east or south. The river splits and also goes both ways.

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i did not expect him to be a viable being

Carissa (Vee Barlett): same figured we'd have to kill it

wyjyoon (Temperance): Honestly neither did I

Spring (Ratbone Carder): so i would have felt not a qualm at all about speeding past

Michael (Jericho): I didn't know if it would even survive outside the vat

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee got her tracking... anything from that?

BOB water flows from the north

Vee Barlett: More somethings, probably, yes.

Ratbone Carder: heavy sigh

Vee Barlett: mutters something about not being paid enough

The tunnel opens up into a large cavern with strange contents. Four cages of a strange, fleshy substance seem to grown from the stone floor along the southern wall, and roughly in the center of the room stands a large wooden box with a funnel on top and a spout at the bottom. The box is connected to a small water wheel that turns with the river's flow.

Rothuss Carder: shrugs.

Inside this cage is female human dressed in ragged clothes.

Inside this cage is a grumpy looking dwarf.

This cage appearst to be empty.

Jericho: I'm sorry. I think she means our friend

Jericho: I'm sorry. We did everythign we could

Ratbone Carder: Oh! Triffid is Ulster

Jericho: I can look him over later

Vee Barlett: No I thought he was Tusk

Jericho: HE is ULSTER

Jericho: He HAS a NAME

Ulster: Who

Ulster: where did you come from?

Vee Barlett: *Thuskar

Jericho: Winces

Ratbone Carder: Oh Ulster is the other, gotcha

Carissa (Vee Barlett): man I'm so confused who is who lol

Michael (Jericho): (Thuskar)

Michael (Jericho): (right)

Vee Barlett: From outside and we really don't wanna be inside here anymore.

Michael (Jericho): (Honestly though, this is a less then pressing conversation)

Jericho: Nods

BOB It is on the CT

Vee Barlett: We ain't got time to waste. Do whatcha need and let's go.

Ratbone Carder: Yeah let's go everybody. who needs help moving?

Merithina: Can you get us out of here?

Jericho: We can Try

Carissa (Vee Barlett): what about the third one?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Merethina and Ulster are NPCs, the T Plant man has no name

Carissa (Vee Barlett): a dwarf, a woman, and a man

Michael (Jericho): (TY)

BOB The dwarf has vanished

Carissa (Vee Barlett): No T guy is Tusk

Michael (Jericho): (But pretty sure T-Plant was the last cage)

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 15]

Spring (Ratbone Carder): well heck

Vee Barlett: looking for dwarf tracks

Vee Barlett: Damnit. Dwarves know caves. Where'd he ho?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *go

BOB There is a faint set of footprints that head upstream

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *Thuskar is the plant man

Michael (Jericho): We go

Michael (Jericho): lol

Vee Barlett: Alright y'all. Back upstream.

Ratbone Carder: plainly the dwarf knows how to take care of himself, no need for us to worry

Temperance: nods in assent

Vee Barlett: If he don't wanna stick around, he can trip any traps then.

Jericho: Come on, let's get you out of here

Jericho: Helps up the battered civilians

Jericho: Puts arm over his shoulder for the most battered

Vee Barlett: You two, stay close and quiet. And don't think too hard about yer pal yet. Panic is for later.

BOB Thuskar still following worshiping Jericho

Vee Barlett: leads the way back out

Jericho: Follows, trying to be gently with his charges

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (vee would point out she was the one who technically freed him but she's a little too creeped out to be jealous probably)

Michael (Jericho): (Jealous of what?)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): being worshipped, lol

Michael (Jericho): oh brother

Michael (Jericho): her ego CANNOT possibly be that big LOL

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ....................

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no comment

Michael (Jericho): LOL

This tunnel continues upward at a fairly steep slope. Stalagmites rise from the tunnel's uneven floor, and the party will often need to duck beneath stalactite growths. In some places it is necessary to squeeze past areas where the stalagmites and stalactites have grown together into pillars.

Vee Barlett: carefully makes her way up through the pokey cave bits.

Ratbone Carder: well this is fun

Jericho: I'm sorry what?

Jericho: Define fun?

Jericho: chuckles darkly

Ratbone Carder: it's sarcasm, weener

Jericho: snickers

Jericho: sorry

Ratbone Carder: squeezes

Jericho: too many near death expereicnes

Jericho: Grins

Temperance: attempts to find her way around the uneven cave floor

Image: Cave on the path up to the church

Spring (Ratbone Carder): apropos nothing. i'm shocked i'm still getting wifi this far from the main house

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh man map change is a good thing

This tunnel continues downward at a fairly steep slope. Stalagmites rise from the tunnel's uneven floor, and the party will often need to duck beneath stalactite growths. In some places it is necessary to squeeze past areas where the stalagmites and stalactites have grown together into pillars.

Michael (Jericho): I could weep

Michael (Jericho): lol

Jericho: Easy does it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): save your weeping until we are freeeeeeee

Michael (Jericho): (Follows footsteps still?)

Temperance: gets a solid grip on the staff as she traverses

Carissa (Vee Barlett): water and/or dwarf footprints yes

Ratbone Carder: singing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but she can kindof see something to the east, right? I see it on the map that it's....different?

Ratbone Carder: We're so awesome, we made new friends

Temperance: still preoccupied by odd cave fungal research and the staff to observe

Michael (Jericho): except for the dwarf asshole

Michael (Jericho): lol

Ratbone Carder: To come on the journey, where the tunnel wends

Michael (Jericho): Hopefully your singing is helping our poor civilians

BOB Yes to something different to the east

Ratbone Carder: We are brave, we are true, we have COME to help YOU!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and footprint roll shows.....?

BOB Cannot find them

Carissa (Vee Barlett): darn

BOB Best guess is they went into the stream

BOB and stayed there

Ratbone Carder: We're so awesome! And you're lucky that we came this way!

Vee Barlett: cautiously scoots a little closer to the east to see if she can see what it is

Vee Barlett: Easty is beasty....

This chamber is lit by glowing moss that hangs from the ceiling in long, frilled strands. Nine trees are growing here, their roots constrained in large earthenware pots. Each tree stands about nine feet tall, and the pots are arranged in three neat rows of three. The floor is grooved, causing channels of water to flow beneath each tree pot, obviously an irrigation system. A low, angry muttering sound fills the room.

Michael (Jericho): Otherway!

Michael (Jericho): LOL

TMO (Rothuss Carder): sorry to be so long

Vee Barlett: nods to herself and backtracks to go north.

At this point the river's flow turns a small wooden waterwheel. The wheel is attached by a couple of direction-changing gears to a large wooden box at the river's edge. At the top of the box, there is a funnel, and at the bottom there is a spout positioned to allow a container to be placed underneath. A clicking and creaking noise comes from inside the box.

Ratbone Carder: And you, and you, you can do anything! You are dtermined and headstrong

Ratbone Carder: And you, you arent deterred by anything!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Updating party pack while we have some time : )

Ratbone Carder: With friends like you, we never will go wrong!

Michael (Jericho): So, I vote that we collapse the entire cavern system SOMEHOW. I don't care if we have to "Wish" somehow, I WILL destroy this place

BOB and for Wendy who has never done this before, we are at the halfway mark for the Bonus Day

Carissa (Vee Barlett): OH OH THIS IS FAIMILAR!!!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): use the key then we climb up!

BOB Grins with Carissa

Carissa (Vee Barlett): OMG I SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL???

Ratbone Carder: strummy strum strum

TMO (Rothuss Carder): you are way better at the lyrical stuff than me, Spring!

Ratbone Carder: The light, light, light at the end of the tunnel!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, halfway mark, cool beans : )

BOB So close that Vee can almost taste it

Ratbone Carder: This box, box, box, equipped with a funnel!

BOB but

Carissa (Vee Barlett): don't you DARE

Michael (Jericho): there's always

BOB no waterfall

Michael (Jericho): dont' you dare

Michael (Jericho): oh

Michael (Jericho): ...

Michael (Jericho): so...less slip?

Ratbone Carder: continues singing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that's a good thing?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): there's a ldder to go up there when the waterfall is turned off

BOB The water is flowing towards you

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and there is a keyhole to turn the water flow....

BOB There is no water fall here, just a chamber

Ratbone Carder: But where's the waterfaull! It was there for us all. In the before! It was like a door!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wasn't there a ladder? ??

BOB Yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): Just remembering I also have the key for the waterfalls if we need

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and the ladder is gone?

BOB there is no waterfall

Michael (Jericho): Sigh. We have to go back fo rthe fucking ladder in the prior room

Carissa (Vee Barlett): damnit you're goign to make use confront PLOT POINT aren't you?

BOB I will give you an intelligence check

Michael (Jericho): The ladder from before was in the prison room

Jericho: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 3]

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 12]

BOB There have been LOTS of ladders around here

Ratbone Carder: I believe, I believe, we can do this. I believe, I believe we will think this through!

Temperance: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 2]

BOB The place with the ladder and up the waterfall was in a four way intersection

Ratbone Carder: I believe, I believe, we can do this. I know, the ANSWER is INSIDE YOU!!!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I was gonna say... this didn't look like that area to me

BOB This place is vaguely familier but it is not....

Spring (Ratbone Carder): just similarly engineered

Carissa (Vee Barlett): bastard

Michael (Jericho): Maybe the water is flowing through the machines we keep seeing and twistin gthe tunnels?

Michael (Jericho): Maybe that's why we recognize some parts

Michael (Jericho): but not others?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so this is a dead end? or not?

Ratbone Carder: So there should beeeeeeee a place to put a keeeyyyyyyy?!?!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): okay maybe it is not so we keep goign

Carissa (Vee Barlett): SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Ratbone Carder: Because maybeeeeeee ??? Some other way to get free??!

Michael (Jericho): Wait

Ropy pillars of fungus grow from ceiling to floor here, ranging from one to four feet in diameter.

Michael (Jericho): what's that?

Michael (Jericho): This isn't where we killed the baby monster was it?

Michael (Jericho): If we had continued on that path?

BOB THERE YOU GO

Michael (Jericho): Oh, then keep fukcing going, we are almos thtere!

BOB Yes where Temperance almost died

TMO (Rothuss Carder): keep going north

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh thank goodness

Ratbone Carder: dun dun DUN!!!!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we ARE almost out

Michael (Jericho): Oh, then keep fukcing going, we are almos thtere!

Michael (Jericho): STOP QUOTING ME! LOL

Temperance: glances at the spot and shakes her head, grimacing at the deja vu

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Sorry, I keep mis-tapping the trackpad

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so I did recognize the description just not where in the cave it was

Michael (Jericho): (No spring, just think it's funny :) )

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Oh it's funny, but also annoying

Michael (Jericho): So, we went in a very large circle

Spring (Ratbone Carder): If I had one of those stubby joystick things I would disable the trackpad

Michael (Jericho): The machinery in this place is impressive. It' smore then we ever saw in Drillian

Michael (Jericho): Talwin with his engnieering would have been a kid in a candy store

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well you didn't go cave diving there

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.

Michael (Jericho): Actually, in all honesty, Now that I know this is more like a MINE, or Underground Farm, In REAL Life, my tension is slowly going away

Michael (Jericho): Since I have a fear of caves

Vee Barlett: keeps heading north

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.

Temperance: continues to follow

There is another small keyhole at the bottom of the waterfall.

Spring (Ratbone Carder): That's a good thing, that the tension is going away

Vee Barlett: Brains, you got the key still?

Michael (Jericho): You have no idea

Temperance: Yes, I believe I do!

Temperance: rumamges for the key in her bag

wyjyoon (Temperance): Your rhymes are never corny Spring : )

Michael (Jericho): Spring, the fact you sing, doesn't matter what the rymes are

Michael (Jericho): just saying

wyjyoon (Temperance): I look forward to them every time

Ratbone Carder: Hee!

Vee Barlett: lol I admit sometimes I tune them out because I get very focused, but I do enjoy them when I reread chat

Ratbone Carder: singing

BOB What are you doing about the waterfall?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): is there a ladder?

Michael (Jericho): Key

Michael (Jericho): and then ladder

Ratbone Carder: He-ROES! let me sing to you about heroes!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if not we see if Rothuss can climb?

BOB The one you just came up

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooooohhh

Michael (Jericho): Oh, I apologize

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ...is Levi's rope still here?

Michael (Jericho): Grins

BOB That is the other waterfall

BOB we are working on the first one still

Ratbone Carder: sings about heroes. i'm drawing a blank

BOB You used the key to divert it and climbed up the ladder

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes....

BOB everyone is up top now

Michael (Jericho): We can restart the waterfall so that the irrigation does not cease the one area with the angry wispering

Carissa (Vee Barlett): are there two or three waterfalls?

BOB Two waterfalls

Vee Barlett: goes to reset the waterfall

BOB Thank you that was the question

Ratbone Carder: And we are mighty too! Mighty me and mighty you!

BOB Then

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh

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.

Image: AA1_P6_Pg2

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and this is the one that had the rope/slippery ladder?

Ratbone Carder: Together we can vanquich most anything! (that is sufficiently low level)

Michael (Jericho): (LOL)

Michael (Jericho): (love the disclaimer)

BOB Yes the rope is here

Vee Barlett: climbs the rope back up

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Actually........

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wait wait recon

Ratbone Carder: We are mighty! And our smiles are brighty!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): looks at the three

Vee Barlett: Can y'all climb a rope?

Rothuss Carder: chuckles.

Jericho: Worries

Temperance: fixes the staff onto her belt and shrugs

Vee Barlett: Merithina? Ulster? T?

Ratbone Carder: We outshine the sun! This time we don't have to run. Credit where it's due! To mighty me and you!'

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh well apparently yes because Bob is moving all of us, lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): otherwise she was going to tie a rope and drag them up

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ....sooooooooo.... we're free?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): FREEEEEEEDOMMMM!!!!

wyjyoon (Temperance): We walk up into darkened oblivion : )

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): frfeedommmm

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

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'm waiting for confirmation before I celebrate giving I celebrated too soon last time

Ratbone Carder: Rejoice! Rejoice! we are out out of the cave!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): YAYYYYYYYYYY!! FREEDOM!!!

Ratbone Carder: Rejoice! Rejoice! All of us were so brave!

Vee Barlett: breathes a sigh of relief but doesn't relax.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): FLEEdom!

Lirtimya: Long overdue, I was missing fresh air and sunlight

BOB I need to use the restroom as you try to organize

wyjyoon (Temperance): throws confetti

Rothuss Carder: stretches

Vee Barlett: We still need to get to the Temple.

BOB Church

Carissa (Vee Barlett): WHATEVER IT IS

Carissa (Vee Barlett): THE THING ON THE HILL WITH MISTS AND STUFF

Ratbone Carder: Rothuss, don't mess with that pimple!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): anyways

Vee Barlett: Maybe we can walk around the landslide?

Rothuss Carder: Wait, what?

Jericho: Vee

Ratbone Carder: whispers, I had to rhyme with temple

Jericho: Fuck the Temple

Rothuss Carder: Ahh

Vee Barlett: These three need the church to hepl them.

Jericho: Sigh

Ratbone Carder: Plus you shouldn't pop zits, you'll get an infection

Vee Barlett: And they need to know what's below them.

Jericho: If we could have gotten around, why did we go through the Caves?

BOB You find Parry with three dead goblins at his feet

BOB now off

Carissa (Vee Barlett): go pee already

Jericho: Parry

Jericho: Sigs in relief

Ratbone Carder: And SOME of my WORDS they need an inFLECTION!

Vee Barlett: We can't extort the church if we don't visit them.

Jericho: Snorts

Ratbone Carder: oh hey! it's the one donkey in the world who can't swim!

Temperance: Should we try looting the goblins while we wait?

Temperance: glances at the three corpses

Jericho: Vee, as always, I'd follow you to the depths of the ocean, but I need help understanding how we get there

Vee Barlett: We went into the cave to see if it led inside. It didn't but we mighta found the owners of the cloak we saw earlier. They ain't in good shape. We gotta get them to the church.

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: So...suggestions?

Jericho: We can't climb over. Not with the injured

Vee Barlett: The problem is ya let Levi have his cavin' fun and I had the stomach bouts so I couldn't tell him to stop bein' stupid.

Jericho: Can someone scout a goat path or something?

Jericho: Smiles. We all get em' Vee. We need to get you back to Sea is all

Jericho: You'll be alright in a Jiffy

Vee Barlett: We go around. Landslide is on a single side, but that don't mean there ain't a path elsewhere.

Jericho: Nods

Jericho: Can someone scout? We don't know if our charges can make it aimlessly wandering

Vee Barlett: Too bad Levi is off doin' whatever with Melange. He's better at this jungle stuff.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (waiting to roll until bob returns)

Jericho: Either way, I do admit I want to be far away from this cavern before our ahem liberations are discovered

Michael (Jericho): (yep yep)

Michael (Jericho): (no worries)

Vee Barlett: That means we got until evenin'

Vee Barlett: And judgin' by the sun, we got a few hours until then.

Michael (Jericho): I'll roll a Wisdom to see if Jericho can contemplate if another path might exist. Can't hurt

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I thought we searched for an alternate path when we got here, but sure.

Temperance: stretches a bit and checkes herself for any minor scratches or injury

Michael (Jericho): Don't get me started TMO

Michael (Jericho): It was why bob and I had a heated discussion

Michael (Jericho): VERY Heated

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I think we did but ONLY from this side of the mountain

Michael (Jericho): Can't hurt. We don't have much choice

Michael (Jericho): Otherwise, the injured are coming with us

Michael (Jericho): I'd like to know how the goblins are navigating. See if there is a goat trail or something?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'm gonna go make dinner in a couple minutes or so. Anyone need healing or anything before I go and come back?

Michael (Jericho): They must be getting around too right?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): go make food

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no necessarily

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the goblin found us at the river and might have followed the pony tracks

Michael (Jericho): BRB. GOnna grab me a drink

Michael (Jericho): and true

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes : ) I'll be back in... ten or fifteen

BOB Back

BOB First: churches etc.

Spring (Ratbone Carder): listening attentively

BOB In order Cathedral (Osterhold and others) then Temple (orange sunset is where you have worked out of) then Church (Church of the Mists like where you are going) then Shrines (like the one in your town)

BOB So You are on a mission from your Temple that Jericho owes a favor to, to go to the Church of the Mists

BOB Next is where you are now

TMO (Rothuss Carder): "It's been blocked off by a deliberate landslide, and an army of mushroom pod people are growing in the caverns underneath"

BOB you are on the path to the Church of the Mists, (you are going there because of Jericho and he will fill you in on what he was supposed to be doing)

Michael (Jericho): NO

Michael (Jericho): I'm putting my foot down Bob

BOB For what?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): its just getting supplies

Michael (Jericho): We are going because Carissa has a good poitn

Michael (Jericho): BUT

Michael (Jericho): That is bull

BOB OK so you can go back to the Temple, tell them that you are not going to do the favor you are required to do>?

Michael (Jericho): We had a very DETAILED discussion on the site, where Carissa herself said our mission was to find out what happened and why it did not arrive. WE DID THAT

Michael (Jericho): NO

Michael (Jericho): YOU said that

Michael (Jericho): I went from good time to FURIOUS

Michael (Jericho): WHICH IS IT PEOPLE

Michael (Jericho): WE DID THE JOB

BOB Tell me what happened? What did the people at the CHurch of the Mists tell yo happened?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): going to get drink again. brb

User has gone AFK. (TMO)

BOB Tell me again

Michael (Jericho): I"M GOING OFF WHAT CARISS POSTED

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well....I looked again and we were ALSO supposed to find some supploies

Michael (Jericho): I'm pulling up the site NOW

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I'm here, just, don't have anything to add

BOB yeah

BOB Thank you JTom

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh hi Mini! sorry missed you returning

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I returned before we got these people lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): huh guess I thought you stepped away again, but wither way welcome back!

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Thank you :)

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Yeah after I put the food in the oven I'm back here for another hour from now

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): So, I'm here a while

Ratbone Carder: yay!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): ooc LOL

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wooo!

BOB The group was walking up the path towards the Church of the Mists when you encountered a landslide. Rothuss went to explore the landslide and found that a cave had been opened up and there was some scraps of clothing that looked like clothing from a priest. You went in to explore and see what you could find.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooooops we didn't find a priest but go on

BOB You explored some got beaten up badly and retreated to fishing hut for the day and night to recover. Then you came back to the caves to explore some more. Leading to the going much much deeper into the caves, etc. and you finally almost 7 hours hours later you make it up out of the caves again.

BOB You still have your original mission of go to the Church of the Mists and find out why the supplies have not arrived at the Temple

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and bring the supplies back before the end of the month

Carissa (Vee Barlett): whatever said supplies is

BOB This is the third day so you still have plenty of time

BOB it just feels like forever

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes I reread chat after posting that OOC and how it was worded, but never reposted on OOC because we started focusing on getting out

Carissa (Vee Barlett): figured we'd cross the Mist bridge we went got out and here we are

BOB Exactly

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and we have another reason to visit them anyways so might as well finish it off

Vee Barlett: Merithina? Are you from these parts? We're tryin' to get up to that church but there's a landslide.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I think I need to take an hour to cleanse the mental palatte. be back in a while. going to kick back and watch some shows and relax

Vee Barlett: You all need a healer and we're all tapped out.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): waves

Spring (Ratbone Carder): cya later on TMO

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Rothuss DID get us in this mess to start so....

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ;)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): you're welcome

'TMO' disconnected

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol go take a break

Merithina: I was traveling from the Church of the Mists south to sell our goods

Merithina: We came down from the mountains, I think it was ... days? a week? how long were we down there?

Vee Barlett: Dunno as we've only been up this way for maybe three?

Vee Barlett: Temple sent us to see what happened.

Ratbone Carder: Now we know!

Merithina: Our caravan was waylaid by goblins and while we were fighting them these creatures threw bags of gas at us

Merithina: and I woke up in that cage

Ratbone Carder: Ew!

Vee Barlett: takes a mental note about "bags of gas".

Merithina: I watched them take off three of our guards,

Vee Barlett: Was it near evenin'?

Merithina: Thuskar was not in the group, I had thought he escaped

Vee Barlett: grimances but says nothing

Merithina: Looks sadly at him as he curls up at Jericho's feet

Merithina: It was in the morning

Merithina: we wanted an early start

Vee Barlett: Before daybreak?

Merithina: try to make it to the south hills by nightfall

Merithina: Just about day break

Vee Barlett: We got warnin' to not be here in the evenin' so trying to see how long we got to we gotta skeddadle.

Merithina: we were only a mile or two from the Church

Merithina: Who warned you?

Vee Barlett: Some old man? Er, what was his name...

Vee Barlett: He was pickin' mushrooms near here...

Merithina: I have not heard of such a thing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): gotta find the chat because it was when I was in CA

wyjyoon (Temperance): back with food : )

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Good! Do you remember who the guy was who warned us about the mushroom dude?

Merithina: My family is from the eastern district of Osterhold

Merithina: I was making the mountain circle

wyjyoon (Temperance): Um Orris? Something with an O

Vee Barlett: Oh! What's yer last name?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't quite remember it well

Merithina: Klopnorn

Carissa (Vee Barlett): temp can say that IC

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 13]

Temperance: I believe his name might've been akin to Orris or something with an O, but I don't quite recall...

Vee Barlett: tries to think if she knows her family

Vee Barlett: Hmm, not sure yer name is ringin' a bell but it's a big city.

Temperance: The old man picking mushrooms that we spoke to, I mean.

BOB No she does not recognize it, but would be unlikely. Osterhold is the center part, you are in the Western district, she said she is from the eastern district

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh well that helps to know, lol

User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): not sure if eastern district means anything either but that's fine

Image: Borinquen

Vee Barlett: Well that's all good an' interesting, don't mind hearin' more, but we still gotta get up to the church. You know any back paths that way?

BOB That is the Eastern District

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well I do not know which chat it was so Orris it'll have to be

Carissa (Vee Barlett): i see a circle on a map

Carissa (Vee Barlett): a LARGE circle

BOB yes and that city there is Oserhold

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yeah I don't remember exactly what the name was

wyjyoon (Temperance): I might be far off, ngl

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I am smiling and nodding, lol

BOB and the roads over to the west is where you are

Merithina: I have only ever traveled up and down the roads, this road was never like this before

'Carissa' disconnected

'Carissa' connected

Ratbone Carder: frowns

Lirtimya: Well, if think of one, please, say something

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so it freaked out after you tried to show me map stuff so anything after that I missed but all good

Merithina: If we go north over this path

Vee Barlett: Gets us to the church?

Merithina: I have only ever traveled up and down the roads, this road was never like this before

Merithina: If we go north over this path

Merithina: Well, if think of one, please, say something

Merithina: Gets us to the church?

BOB Sorry

BOB Let me try that again

BOB yes and that city there is Oserhold

Merithina: I have only ever traveled up and down the roads, this road was never like this before

BOB Well, if think of one, please, say something (from Lirt)

Merithina: If we go north over this path

BOB Gets us to the church? (from Vee)

BOB and that is Carissa all caught up on the conversation

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (so north over the path is her guess to get us to the church?)

BOB Yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): is that what Lirt was asking?

BOB Yes

Vee Barlett: Okay then. Let's not waste daylight. Let's try north.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Northy is worthy

Temperance: nods in assent.

Spring (Ratbone Carder): haha

Temperance: It wouldn't hurt to try.

Lirtimya: Have you ever seen a map of this area?

BOB And we get back to the start of the argument

BOB The landslide is blocking the road

Carissa (Vee Barlett): OH I thought she was showing us a different potential path

BOB No THIS path

BOB She was on this path farther north when she was captured

BOB but there was no landslide she was aware of

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oooh I still missed some convo then

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i think the convo missed us

Carissa (Vee Barlett): poor story chat person is going to get confused here, lol

BOB and she is unsure what day it is so cannot tell you when it happened

Vee Barlett: How big is this mountain? You think we can go around the back?

BOB She said, hours, days, week?

Merithina: I have only travelled the road ways

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Does she know the date she left? because we know the current date and we could math

Merithina: I imagine there are other paths

Vee Barlett: And it was only ever one road in?

Merithina: There are other roads, I travel them regularly

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): "Have you ever seen a map of this area?" asked this earlier

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I have a plan

Vee Barlett: Any chance ya got a map or somethin'? My matey here is good with maps to find another way in.

Merithina: She has seen a map before

Merithina: I do ot have anything left, I lost everything

Vee Barlett: But ya seen one? She's smart, she might be able to work with yer knowledge.

Vee Barlett: Right, Lirt?

Merithina: all of my friends, my entire caravan except for Ulster an Thuskar

Merithina: starts crying

Ratbone Carder: sympathy face

Vee Barlett: Merithina, I know it ain't easy, but ya gotta not think about that yet. We ain't outta trouble.

Lirtimya: If I drew a basic map of where we are, do you think you would be able to extend it off of memory? It doesn't have to be good, but it would be nice to have something basic, even if only straight lines, than nothing

Merithina: I can try

Lirtimya: will attempt to draw a basic map of our current area

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Cartography [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 20]

Vee Barlett: nods to Ratbone to do any comforting things helpful

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ouchhhh

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oof

Temperance: offers Merithina a stray piece of cloth that may serve as a kerchief

Merithina: This does not look like anything I recognize

Vee Barlett: Er, yer sure that's right Lirt? It has been a long day.

Ratbone Carder: all this stuff in my backpack and i have neither a blanket nor a cloak. that's some BS, i need to repack

Lirtimya: I have no idea, I'm tired and this isn't my strongest point, sorry Vee, maybe after I rest I can get a better map drawn

Vee Barlett: It's all good, matey. Worth a try.

Ratbone Carder: Or

Ratbone Carder: Well, you know this road that we are on, right? Could you guide us to another path to the Church?

Ratbone Carder: And we'll escort and guard you all the way there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so how bad IS this landslide? Can parry climb it?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I have to go do some more cooking, I'll be back

User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think last time it said it was going to be pretty difficult, but not sure

Merithina: It was Penmanse (24 - 12 - 586) when we were taken

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well it's had a day to settle down plus wheever it happened....

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or again we move around the mountain and hope to find another path

wyjyoon (Temperance): Kind of a stretch but the fungal staff wouldn't be any help, right?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but make sure we're more than 2 miles away at night if we do not succeed

BOB you can explore and try to go over the landslide

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wouldn't think so

wyjyoon (Temperance): Fair enough

Spring (Ratbone Carder): So she doesn't know a path from here to the church then

wyjyoon (Temperance): Try to go over the landslide then?

BOB Or you can try to go around but there are no paths in this area that you know of, and the roadways she is talking about will take you a week or two

'Lemon' connected

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Ah that's the info

Lemon (Levi Reed): Hello again

wyjyoon (Temperance): Hey Lemon : )

BOB Hello

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hi Lemon!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Hope the nap hit the spot

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we try to go over I guess yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hi lemon we're free

Spring (Ratbone Carder): It's like go over or go back and say we failed

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and found a mutant plant dude and some people

Lemon (Levi Reed): It was very needed, yes

Spring (Ratbone Carder): contrary to the saying, failure IS an option

wyjyoon (Temperance): The mutant plant dude really likes Jericho and follows it around

wyjyoon (Temperance): *follows him around

Lemon (Levi Reed): And Parry is here, yay!

Lemon (Levi Reed): Did we get my rope back?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): there had been a dwarf prisoner but he took the heck off as soon as he was freed

Spring (Ratbone Carder): the humans came along with us though

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes to your rope

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yay! And yay to freeing prisoners I guess.

Lemon (Levi Reed): So now what?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): failure was an optin but after that... disagreement we kind of need to get to the church

Spring (Ratbone Carder): all the alternate routes to the church will take weeks and weeks

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we try to go over the landslide first

Spring (Ratbone Carder): that

Spring (Ratbone Carder): we're not taking any wagons, so maybe we can do it

Lemon (Levi Reed): Were these people the ones trapped in the pods?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yup

BOB being turned into pod people

Carissa (Vee Barlett): not the two you are thinking of

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we try to get over lsndslide with dex checks and rope?

BOB any climbling skills, etc to help

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think Rothuss is the one with the climbing skill

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

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Climb Walls [PERCENT:Climb Walls] (vs. Target 55) [FAILURE by 45] [d100 = 100]

BOB Are you all just going forward? or are some going first to scout a path?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): tries to forage a path and help set ropes for others to grab

Vee Barlett: tries to forage a path and help set ropes for others to grab

Ratbone Carder: [SKILL] Rope Use [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 14]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well Vee was going to go scout with whoever else and use her rope so you all can follow easier

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 8]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): two rope checks and Vee has her rope so hopefully that brings you safely with her

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 10]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh obs is smart

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Levi just monkey climbs past us all

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 11]

BOB Is Levi leaving Ratbone alone with the new people?

wyjyoon (Temperance): But but he hates monkeys

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it's fineeee someone else will log back in soon right?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and Parry will protect them

Lemon (Levi Reed): What, why shouldn't I?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Just responding to Vee saying he monkey-climbed past everyone : )

BOB Strange women locked up in cages do not make a good government

wyjyoon (Temperance): I can stay behind if you guys need to?

wyjyoon (Temperance): But my HP's pretty low, so if they try to attack I don't know how it'll turn out

wyjyoon (Temperance): They don't seem hostile but...

BOB I am just pointing out you have three people there who you met a hour or so ago who are tramatised,

BOB and you want to leave them with Ratbone while you go off to explore

Lemon (Levi Reed): Have we talked to them?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

Lemon (Levi Reed): Why isn't ratbone coming with us?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee is not empatetic. Rabone is

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we are scouting first

Carissa (Vee Barlett): andsomeone eneds to stay with the former prisoners

wyjyoon (Temperance): Should we let them know we're scouting and coming back?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you all decide who wants to go where

Lemon (Levi Reed): We freed them, isn't that enough?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee and Lirt are up top

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ......no???

Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, I feel like I have good skills for scouting? But I can stay

Spring (Ratbone Carder): We should escort them to safety if possible

Spring (Ratbone Carder): or they will just get recaptured again

Vee Barlett: One of their friends is a mutant, they lost all their belongings, they were kept in weird pods things for a long time. They shouldn't be left alone.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooc

Lemon (Levi Reed): idiots

Carissa (Vee Barlett): And yes I would have agreed Lemon BUT you came like seconds after that deicison

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if you logged on a minute or two before I would have had Levi scout

Lemon (Levi Reed): Well ok then

Levi Reed: Well, I'll stay here and keep our new friends company

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but I got good rolls so I'm keeping thrm

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 16]

Levi Reed: Hello new friends!

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I got a back to back nat 20 and nat 1 lol

Ulster: GRunts

Spring (Ratbone Carder): LOL

wyjyoon (Temperance): I guess I'll go with Vee and Lirt? Unless you need me for the botany skill

Levi Reed: offers ulster some rations

Carissa (Vee Barlett): up to you

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes, Vee and Lirt then

Ulster: Takes them cautiously, sniffs them

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we are just trying to find a way over the landslide and make a path up, hopefully we aren't going far

Levi Reed: I'm Levi, what's your name?

BOB So Vee and Lirt go head up over the rocks

wyjyoon (Temperance): *I'm going with them

BOB After about 40 minutes you make it to the top

wyjyoon (Temperance): Didn't think I should waste a dex and obs roll

BOB Temp is off to the eastern flank looking

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Ratbone staying with Levi and refugees

BOB you all three make it up and spot the roadway heading upwards into the hills

BOB and just about out of eyesight is what looks to be a pile of wagons

Lemon (Levi Reed): Heyyyy, we did it

BOB You do not know a path yet to get Parry or anyone not able to climb easily up and over yet

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (isn't that why we brought rope?)

BOB but you know you four can make it, and you are pretty sure most of your group can too

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah but we found the wagons!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if we leave parry again, sorry man but we do

BOB You can spend some more time scouting for a better path for the mule and the recovered prisoners

Carissa (Vee Barlett): as long as we can all make it up and help the ones who need it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ok

BOB and while that happens Rathbone and Levi can talk with them to learn more

Temperance: looking around the eastern flank to see if there are any viable paths

Levi Reed: offers the other human some rations

BOB Levi watches Ulster sniffing the rations suspiciously

Levi Reed: You guys feeling ok?

Levi Reed: Anything we can do to help?

Levi Reed: Ratbone here sings really nicely

Levi Reed: What are your names?

Ratbone Carder: strummy strum strum

BOB (when you read the chat lemon you will see the place where people were turned into podmen has large vats of liquid)

Ulster: Takes a small bite

HMMMM

GREEEEwwnnn

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Gotta go afk again, more cooking

Ulster: Growling and eating quickly

Ratbone Carder: (signing) Ulster here, he's a friend. He's a name we know

Merithina: Takes food from Levi

Merithina: Thank you

Merithina: shivering

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ulster is human.... right??

Levi Reed: cautiously offers food to plant man

BOB yes

Levi Reed: Not sure if this will still taste good to you but...

Ratbone Carder: And here is Merithina, i hope our friendship grows

BOB Thuskar is the person who was being turned into a plant

Levi Reed: Are you cold, Merithina?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Yes, Ulster is

Merithina: I am

Merithina: shaking

Merithina: I am not cold I think

Ratbone Carder: Thuskar is the person who was being turned into a plant.

Merithina: I just

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we habe a cloak from the stirge nesr

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (sorry eatin chips)

Lemon (Levi Reed): we what a what

Merithina: Taking deep breaths

wyjyoon (Temperance): we have a cloak from the loot from that cliff

Carissa (Vee Barlett): free cloak we found at the stirge nest

Levi Reed: takes a blanket from Parry's pack and offers to Merithina

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

Ratbone Carder: Levi here is one of us, I can't think of a rhyme for plant

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it is general party pack so you can give it to her too or the blanket works

Merithina: Clutches it and grabs Levi's hand

Merithina: Thank you

Levi Reed: Ant?

Levi Reed: Anything else I can do to make you guys more comfortable, for now?

Ratbone Carder: I didn't see how to fit Ant, Grant, Slant, or Scant into the song

Levi Reed: offers them all his water thing

Merithina: I am worried about Thuskar

Merithina: Will he recover?

Merithina: Do you think the priests can heal him?

Levi Reed: I don't know. Hopefully the church will be able to help

Ratbone Carder: Oh woe woe, we don't know, we don't know

Levi Reed: looks at Thuskar

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 4]

Ratbone Carder: But he seems happy?

Ratbone Carder: I mean, it's a thankfully thing he's not in terrible pain or something

Ratbone Carder: But Levi is right, we will have to consult some experts

BOB Thuskar looks like he was being consumed by some fungus to be changed transformed into something else

Levi Reed: I wish I could offer you more comfort, but I don't want to give false hope. I honestly don't know

Temperance: continues looking around for pathways

wyjyoon (Temperance): (since I'm not sure if I should be doing anything else)

Ratbone Carder: So, about Ulster - is the not talking thing new? Or usual?

Merithina: I think he is just in shock

Ratbone Carder: nods

Merithina: That .... thing...... told us he was next

Ratbone Carder: Hard not to be, after such an ordeal

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it speaks common?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, good though

Levi Reed: It spoke to you?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): FYI to lemon, we never saw The Shroom

Merithina: It hissed, pointed and used some gutteral language

Levi Reed: Ahhh

Levi Reed: Creepy

Merithina: It was like a barking sound

Ratbone Carder: Nods

Levi Reed: I'm so sorry you had to go through that

Levi Reed: What led you down into the caves, if you don't mind my asking?

Merithina: We were taking my caravan down from the mountains, we stopped at the Church of the Mists for a couple of days

Ratbone Carder: No, she told us theyw ere grabbed

Merithina: then we were heading south as fast as we could and we were attacked in the early morning

Merithina: after we left there

Levi Reed: Shhh, let her talk. My stomach was upset

Ratbone Carder: Fair

Merithina: I think it has been a while

BOB The date she gave you earlier was about a month ago

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Okay, 15 minutes then I'll need to go for dinner

Levi Reed: Yeah some guy told us that creepy plant men come out at night here. Guessing they found you just as it was time for bed. I'm so sorry, how awful

wyjyoon (Temperance): I remember you saying Penmanse

BOB Ok jumpting to the mountaineers before JTom leaves

BOB Lirt and Vee scout around and find a hollow of rocks

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (and Temp)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Afk for a drink and snack while that happens

Levi Reed: Yeah some guy told us that creepy plant men come out at night here. Guessing they found you just as it was time for bed. I'm so sorry, how awful

Lemon (Levi Reed): oops

User has gone AFK. (Lemon)

BOB They think if you fill that in it might make it easier to get down

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it's fine lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): BOB said Temp went towards the eastern flank, wherever that means

BOB Temp on the outer edge finds a higher cleaner path but narrow and will be hard for weaker or less dexterious people

Carissa (Vee Barlett): missed that sorry

BOB Overall that took about another half hour to quickly scout it out

The time is 1:41 PM

Carissa (Vee Barlett): making sure he knew she was scouting too

wyjyoon (Temperance): Thanks Vee : ) Appreciate you watching out for me

BOB It will take you another half hour to get back down to your campsite

Carissa (Vee Barlett): anytime

Carissa (Vee Barlett): how long to fill that path?

Temperance: mentally notes the state of the found path

BOB hard to tell, Levi would know best but you think you can manage it in a couple of hours

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the real question is: did we find a way to get everyone up here and can we make it to the church before nightfall?

BOB Yes to getting everyone up and around by one of the two paths

BOB getting to the church you are unsure

wyjyoon (Temperance): so it's either filling a path or taking the narrow / slightly unsafer path

BOB You think you are an hour or so from the church of the mists

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it's 2 PM and gets dark at 6? 8?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we could but it will be tight I tihnk

BOB about 7 or so this high up

Carissa (Vee Barlett): with extra hands and help and good rolls

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee is all about pushing through so she would want to do that

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't mind doing that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): start bringing them up, maybe one or two stay to start filling that path, and then go frm there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so Temp can go down, get them up, and Lirt and Vee fill path?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, I guess they don't need rope to get up?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't mind doing that then

Carissa (Vee Barlett): dunno if you got up because of dex check or rope...

wyjyoon (Temperance): Temp has low strength so she won't be able to pull anyone up

wyjyoon (Temperance): Dex check : )

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Spring does Ratbone have rope use?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I got up to rope

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Yes to rope use

Carissa (Vee Barlett): OR Lirt and Temp can fill the path and Vee will go down

'Shislif' connected

Carissa (Vee Barlett): just want to get ahead start on that

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

wyjyoon (Temperance): Is Temperance within line of sight of Vee and Lirt? Don't know what BOB meant by her being at the eastern flank

wyjyoon (Temperance): If that's the case Temp and Lirt can get started

BOB Temp can see Vee and Lirt they are farther to her west, down slope

BOB Temp is higher up on the mountain side

Shislif: hey i'm back

Temperance: makes her way down to Vee and Lirt, carefully and slowly

Shislif: with coffee

Spring (Ratbone Carder): mmmm coffeeeeee

Lemon (Levi Reed): Great timing!

Lemon (Levi Reed): Seems like we will need you to either hoist people up, and/or fill in the path

Temperance: How is it looking over here?

Lemon (Levi Reed): strong man things

Shislif (MeLange): oke dokey

Carissa (Vee Barlett): welcome back!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Welcome back Sharif : )

Vee Barlett: Well, if we fill this in here, it'll make the path easier. You find anything?

Shislif (MeLange): thanks :)

Temperance: I found a cleaner path from the looks of it, but it looks rather narrow and uneven. It may be tricky for people to navigate through

Temperance: I don't mind helping you to fill that path as much as I can.

Temperance: Perhaps it will be safer to traverse than the other path I encountered.

MeLange: anything I can do?

Vee Barlett: Hmm, then yeah, you and Lirt fill this in and I'll go get the others up here. Thinkin' we got about another hour walk from here and wanna try to do it while the sun is up.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (Melange is not there yet)

Vee Barlett: Y'all good with that?

Temperance: nods in assent

Shislif (MeLange): oh my bad

Lirtimya: Sounds good to me

Vee Barlett: Be back soon. Hopefully Melange is back from his catnap to help hoist people up this way.

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol, I thought it said "nods in absent"

Ratbone Carder: What do you want me to do, help with rope?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): absent nodding

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (ratbone isn't there yet either lol)

Vee Barlett: heads on back down to fill everyone in.

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Oh i thought you had done that part, sorry

'TMO' connected

Temperance: attempts to get started on filling the path

Lirtimya: Starts to fill the path

BOB Levi can make a check

wyjyoon (Temperance): (Side question but how are we filling it? Is it with soil or-)

Lemon (Levi Reed): what kind?

BOB other rocks for Wendy

'Ratbone Carder' is at 'Severe' encumbrance. Movebase now 1.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh ok thank you : )

BOB which ever checks you think would help Levi figure out what is best

Temperance: gathers up the rocks she can carry and begins filling the path

Temperance: gathers rocks a little bit at a time since the long cave journey made her feel a little lightheaded

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Hi Son! Bye Son!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Paths have been found but are tricky. One can be made less tricky by filling it in

'JtomTMO' disconnected

BOB No one has mountaineering or anything like that I am guessing?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Hence Lirt and Temp are there filling it to the best of their ability

Carissa (Vee Barlett): see you soon mini!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): climb walls

Lemon (Levi Reed): I have the literal opposite, with spelunking

Vee Barlett: Learn that the hard way? It'd explain a lot.

Ratbone Carder: also tries to help

Temperance: keeps Rothuss' advice in mind

Rothuss Carder: I take it back!

Rothuss Carder: Land on Vee's head!

BOB So Vee can try to grab Temp before she falls down the slope

Vee Barlett: attempst to grab Temp before giving Rothuss the finger

BOB She is the only one who failed by more than the ropes help

Rothuss Carder: It's soft, and will cushion your fall!

Lemon (Levi Reed): I thougth she was up there filling in rocks and barely being useful

Temperance: rights herself with Ratbone and other people's help (since there was a lot of rolling)

Rothuss Carder: moves to help his sister help Temperence

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm still confused, but I assume it will become clear when I read it through again tomorrow. That's what usually happens.

Ratbone Carder: back over, under around wherever works

Vee Barlett: Church ain't far so yeah, please don't let her break her leg before we reach it.

The time is 4:16 PM

The time is 5:16 PM

BOB and everyone is safe on flat ground again

Merithina: It is good to see

Merithina: OH

Merithina: OH

BOB At least a dozen wagons, it looks like they were toppled from the roadway down the mountainside

BOB into a crevase

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, you missed the SUPERSHANK band name

wyjyoon (Temperance): Supershank is so catchy

Shislif (MeLange): i like it

Levi Reed: Anything salvagable?

Levi Reed: If not, let's keep going before it gets dark

BOB You would have to climb down

Rothuss Carder: looks for any bodies.

Temperance: It looks like there's at least a dozen...

BOB Could be

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Supershank sounds like a hair band

Vee Barlett: We can look later.

Levi Reed: Yeah

Vee Barlett: Saw them earlier, but our goal is safety.

Vee Barlett: And that's at the church.

Temperance: Getting to somewhere safer before nightfall would be nice, yes

Levi Reed: Anything important in your wagons, new friends? We can maybe try to take a look tomorrow

Merithina: All of our trade goods

Levi Reed: What were you transporting?

Vee Barlett: Any chance some of it was a shipment to the Temple of Orange Sunsets?

Levi Reed: talking and walking at the same time

Merithina: We had starfish and pearls, and glass bottles, silks and some wooden furniture

Shislif (MeLange): very west wing

Rothuss Carder: walking along and looking for suspicious mushrooms.

Merithina: I left before that shipment was ready

Levi Reed: Sounds nice... but not much of that was likely to make it in that fall...

Vee Barlett: Well that's a later problem, then.

Merithina: They were getting bales of flowers together to ship down the mountain

Vee Barlett: Bales of flowers...?

Merithina: Are we going to make it?

Rothuss Carder: Flowers? *Bales*?

Merithina: Are we really going to be safe?

Vee Barlett: If we keep walkin' a good pace, yeah. We'll get to the church.

The time is 6:16 PM

Vee Barlett: Long as they still standin'.... and if no, as long as we can find a room to barracade then yeah.

Merithina: Do you think something happened to the church!

Levi Reed: We will do everything we can to make sure you are safe

Levi Reed: Gods, I hope not

Vee Barlett: I would hope not or we wouldn't be goin' that way.

Temperance: frowns in concern at the thought

Vee Barlett: Ain't the Mists about fortune tellin' or something? They'd know if they were in trouble. I'd hope...

Levi Reed: Anyway, we're about to find out

The time is 7:09 PM

Allynna Starnar: THUNK THUNK THUNK

Allynna Starnar: Three arrows stab into the ground in front of you

Allynna Starnar: Halt who goes there

Levi Reed: Excuse you, we're here to help and be helped!

Ratbone Carder: halts

Vee Barlett: Emassaries from the Temple of Orange Sunsets.

Temperance: pauses momentarily

Vee Barlett: Or... messangers? I ain't sure anymore. Tired travellers from the temple?

Rothuss Carder: Aren't you supposed to warn before shooting? What if you'd missed?

Allynna Starnar: How do I know you are from the Temple?

Allynna Starnar: If I missed you would not be talking

Rothuss Carder: No, I'd be yelling in pain.

SNORTS

Allynna Starnar: I will give you that one

Rothuss Carder: We have a priest who canNOT tell a lie, right here!

Vee Barlett: Well the priest over there with his, er, buddy musta have his symbol on him.

Rothuss Carder: pushes Jericho forward.

BOB Temperance is a priestess too

Vee Barlett: Hilde sent us. And Pascal (or whatever his name is too tired to remember now). He wants his supplies 'case he ain't got it yet.

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, but she knows how to lie.

Vee Barlett: Temperance here is a church-type too, although I ain't sure the Temple is her home church.

Rothuss Carder: Jericho has absolutely zero poker face

Levi Reed: Knows how, but she doesn't seem to do it much

Levi Reed: Or maybe she's just REALLY good at it

Vee Barlett: Y'all hush.

Temperance: raises an eyebrow and shrugs

Allynna Starnar: Walk forward and let me see you do something

Vee Barlett: too tired to deal with all this

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (temperance?)

Allynna Starnar: We have had a lot of strange things happening

Temperance: [SKILL] Bureaucracy (2) [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 19]

Levi Reed: Something like what?

Shislif (MeLange): are we still in jungle image?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Just rolled it just in case

Vee Barlett: Yeah. Ya got monsters livin' in them caves.

Levi Reed: MeL here is good at looking sexy wihtout his shirt

Vee Barlett: These three behind us were in there, we escaped with them.

BOB Yes that was a great idea, just failed in the execution

Levi Reed: We can have him do an entertaining dance for ya

Ratbone Carder: That's my deparment!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Sad but worth a try

Ratbone Carder: I am the entertaining dancer!

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 5]

MeLange: Hey I'm not just a peice of meat ya know

MeLange: I have... feelings

Levi Reed: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 8]

Vee Barlett: does her best to look like the innocent, warn travellers they are.

Rothuss Carder: Meat with feelings?

Levi Reed: I know, baby

wyjyoon (Temperance): (Should we show them the documents we have or are we keeping that to ourselves for now?

Allynna Starnar: One of you come forward

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Allynna Starnar: No weapons

Vee Barlett: Fine.

Rothuss Carder: I'll go if you want. She sounds fun

Vee Barlett: steps forward before glaring at Rothuss

Ratbone Carder: Do we not have a letter or something about our mission?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Not a chance Vee can rid herself of all her weapons that quickly

Lemon (Levi Reed): Bob, tick off another half hour on the clock please :P

Allynna Starnar: Watching

Allynna Starnar: (LOL)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): rude

Vee Barlett: grumbles and carefully sets her weapons down.

Levi Reed: ALL OF THEM, Vee

Vee Barlett: pulls out her dagger, a knife, another knife, another knife, another knife....

Vee Barlett: Damn, maybe one of y'all should have done this.

Rothuss Carder: Can't say we didn't offer.

Temperance: I don't remember them giving me anything. Jericho might have a letter?

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Vee Barlett: You offered to flirt.

Rothuss Carder: sits on a rock outcropping.

Vee Barlett: Ain't the same.

Vee Barlett: sets final weapon on the ground and takes a single step foward.

Allynna Starnar: Points at the trident

Levi Reed: Temperance is a priest, wouldn't it make more sense for her to go?

Vee Barlett: rolls eyes and sets it down

wyjyoon (Temperance): (Does holy water prove that I'm a priest)

Vee Barlett: grumbles more

Carissa (Vee Barlett): your symbol does

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, would it matter that I don't know which church she's from

Vee Barlett: I ain't stoppin' any of ya from comin' up here.

Vee Barlett: Yer all just thinkin' too hard and not doin'

Allynna Starnar: I am

Levi Reed: The one in the boot too, Vee

Rothuss Carder: I'm all comfy now. I couldn't possibly deprive you.

Vee Barlett: Gave that one to Lirt.

Allynna Starnar: Walks up to Vee and places a hand on her forehead

Ratbone Carder: the heck?!

Vee Barlett: stabbing hand twitches but others doesn't react

Allynna Starnar: Fair enough

Levi Reed: Don't worry, normal priest stuff

Ratbone Carder: oh well then

Rothuss Carder: Yep, good idea to take all the weapons. She'd have shanked your for sure for just walking up and touching her.

Allynna Starnar: Not sure who you are, but you are not any shape changer

Vee Barlett: Can I put my weapon back on? I feel naked.

Allynna Starnar: Nods, you may

Rothuss Carder: That's because your clothes are falling off without all those weapons to hold them up.

Allynna Starnar: Chupacabra has been haunting the hills

Ratbone Carder: do you gotta feel all our heads?

Levi Reed: Did you keep your daggers on when you were with Ruffous?

Vee Barlett: And darn, was hoping you would tell me I'm really part mermaid or something but guess it's better not to be surprised.

Allynna Starnar: Cannot be to careful

Rothuss Carder: Disagree.

Vee Barlett: OH! We ran into that thing's goblins earlier. Killed them, but didn't find the Chupacabra.

Levi Reed: Oh man, Chupacabra!

Vee Barlett: starts putting her weapons back in place

Shislif (MeLange): feels so long ago

Temperance: furrows her eyebrows in concern

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol yup

Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 18]

Levi Reed: Hey, you guys got a problem worse than chupacabras

Levi Reed: You going to let us in so we can talk or what?

Allynna Starnar: Where are your wagons? your goods?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): (roll for Chupacabra lore)

Vee Barlett: Only got the mule.

Vee Barlett: You know there's a landslide on the road?

BOB Rothuss does not remember anything new

Levi Reed: Our friends here had a wagon but it got smashed

Ratbone Carder: These folks had wagons and goods but they were ambushed and kidnapped

Allynna Starnar: Yes we found that yesterday

Allynna Starnar: along with three deer with their heads cut off

Rothuss Carder: So who set the landslide, if it wasn't you?

Vee Barlett: What's yer name anyways? Since we're on friendlier terms now?

Allynna Starnar: I am Allynna, I am the assistant guardian of the Church

Vee Barlett: Could be goblins, could be the weird mushroom man thing, who knows.

Vee Barlett: nods

Allynna Starnar: Mushroom thing?

Vee Barlett: Nice meeting ya if it means a place to rest. I'm Vee.

Rothuss Carder: There was a cloak piece caught in it, remember?

Vee Barlett: Yeah, we can talk about that. Kinda why we came up here 'cause y'all need to know what's goin' down.

Ratbone Carder: Yeah there's a mushroom man turning people into mushroom people and it's gross

Allynna Starnar: I think you should all come into the courtyard

Levi Reed: Yeah, a traveler told us a tale about some fungus people, and we have living proof with us here for you... this one is friendly, but they're building an army down there

Temperance: nods as she recalls the cloak piece

Vee Barlett: Lead the way.

Temperance: The traveler's name I believe is Orrian Terrawater

BOB She brings the group inside the gatehouse

Vee Barlett: And, er, we might need some, uh, healers for these three with us. Especially, er, T.

BOB you are surprised you have not seen a gatehouse before at a church

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we were told they are a weird church tho

Levi Reed: Yeah, he was human until he got snatched by the monsters...

Levi Reed: We're hoping you might have something to help

Spring (Ratbone Carder): and we know this is dangerous territory

Rothuss Carder: a Fort-church? Fortchurch? Furtch?

Temperance: Not many churches have these gathouses...

MeLange: hey nice gatehouse

Temperance: mumbles to herself

Vee Barlett: Levi don't jump to the story twist until we get inside and start at the beginnin'

BOB Then when you enter you see a large open courtyard where there are at least a dozen wagons parked, with two small fires for people who are on watch duty

Levi Reed: Ok, but this guy needs help if they have it

Levi Reed: Then we can tell the story

BOB and then on the other side of the courtyard is a tall three story church

Vee Barlett: Agree and warnin' them about his apperance but we can tell the healers what happened to him.

BOB Looking out into the growing darkness there you can see the bottom floor is open with water rushing over it

MeLange: wow three stories, this church must have a lot of attendees

Vee Barlett: Maybe I don't need a drink. Maybe I need to just soak in the water for a few years.

Lemon (Levi Reed): This church better not be sending poisionous water down or something

Spring (Ratbone Carder): they've got a splash pad?

Shislif (MeLange): glowing darkness?

Shislif (MeLange): oh growing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): sunsegt

Aien Mountainbane: Hello travellers

MeLange: Hello

MeLange waves

Aien Mountainbane: I am Aien Mountainbane, 3rd circle, depths of the mountain trout

MeLange: Oh I'm MeLange

Aien Mountainbane: You came from the south?

Rothuss Carder: 1 or 2. ... Dozen.

Levi Reed: That's an understatement

Vee Barlett: That's an understatement. Any chance y'all drink up here? We need to sit down for this story.

Lemon (Levi Reed): sandwiches!

MeLange: I almost died

Carissa (Vee Barlett): stop stealing my sandwiches!!

Aien Mountainbane: The common room on the second floor will be good

Ratbone Carder: Ratbone

Aien Mountainbane: we can speak there

Ratbone Carder: That's my brother Rothuss

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Vee Barlett: We'll need healers, too. And these three...

Levi Reed: First things first... any chance you can help these prisoners we found? We can wait, them, I'm not sure about

Vee Barlett: waves to the former prisoners

Vee Barlett: Will need, er, extra healin' from their troubles.

Aien Mountainbane: Who needs healing immediately?

Vee Barlett: points to T

Levi Reed: Mostly this one, I think...

Spring (Ratbone Carder): everybody points to T man

Vee Barlett: Will need, er, extra healin' from their troubles.

Vee Barlett: I ain't sure you can reverse what was done to him, but he seems most in need.

Levi Reed: also points to T

Vee Barlett: I ain't sure you can reverse what was done to him, but he seems most in need.

Lemon (Levi Reed): fudge, sorry

Carissa (Vee Barlett): stop copying meeeeeee

Merithina: I can come with you and Ulster can go help with Thuskar

Vee Barlett: nods

BOB Three young priests come to the front of the church

BOB and lead Thuskar and Ulster off to a side door

Temperance: contemplates whether the documents they found in the cave will be useful

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (probably yes)

Lemon (Levi Reed): I may have to take a break to walk the dogs. I asked the husband to, but got no reply

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (but once we sit down and have privacy)

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes : )

Lemon (Levi Reed): Did we get any scrolls?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes three I think

TMO (Rothuss Carder): paranoid TMO thinks we should read them first before turning them over, but that's just me. I gotta know everything.

Lemon (Levi Reed): nice

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I didn't say we were turning them over

wyjyoon (Temperance): I was feeling the same paranoia

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I said we were showing them

'JtomTMO' connected

wyjyoon (Temperance): I didn't feel comfortable sharing it without asking first

Vee Barlett: Got a drink before we talk, Aien?

wyjyoon (Temperance): But yes, when we have some privacy : )

Vee Barlett: 'Cause it's been a long three days.

Aien Mountainbane: yes we can

Aien Mountainbane: Three days?

Ratbone Carder: heck yes it has

Aien Mountainbane: Where did you come from?

Ratbone Carder: Orange Sunset

Vee Barlett: Temple of Orange Sunsets. They wanna know where their supplies is.

Vee Barlett: Then we found a cave and all the nasties in it and that's why we're here to warn ya.

Aien Mountainbane: At the bottom of the mountain

Lemon (Levi Reed): I was going to suggest we let one of the bards tell the tale

Vee Barlett: Landslide slowed us down, too.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we can all tell and interject what's important

Lemon (Levi Reed): But we probably want to sleep tonight

Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL

Carissa (Vee Barlett): also that

Aien Mountainbane: Tell me why you came here from the Temple of Orange Sunsets?

Ratbone Carder: "so no shit, there we were!"

Ratbone Carder: ooc

Vee Barlett: 'Cause they want their supplies as I said. They ain't get it yet.

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

Aien Mountainbane: But why you? You are a prirate

Rothuss Carder: He's perceptive

Levi Reed: Nah, her family business is EXTREMELY upstanding

Temperance: She was accompanying us on our journey

Vee Barlett: First off, rude. You don't accuse people of things.

Ratbone Carder: blink blink

Vee Barlett: And second of, no. They asked Jericho.

Vee Barlett: And he is, well, squishy, so he asked his friends to help.

Temperance: To help with any challenges that might be in the way

Aien Mountainbane: So they did not get any of our messages

Vee Barlett: Not unless they arrived in our three days of travel.

Levi Reed: If they did, they didn't tell us that

Aien Mountainbane: Very well

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I have returned yet again

Shislif (MeLange): brb

Carissa (Vee Barlett): welcome back again!

Aien Mountainbane: Tell me the most interesting thing that happened to you on your trip here, points to Levi

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Rothuss Carder: I'm sure they wouldn't have not told us everything we needed to know.

Lemon (Levi Reed): and the villagers rejoiced!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Welcome back : )

Vee Barlett: kicks back her feet and looks for her drink to take a swig

Levi Reed: Um... we found an army of mushroom people being grown

TMO (Rothuss Carder): How were the ribs?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): The best I've ever had

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Well done, Chef Boy!

Aien Mountainbane: frowns, Point to Rothuss, What was the hardest thing you fought?

Rothuss Carder: Hmmm...

Spring (Ratbone Carder): jealous. i want great ribs

Lemon (Levi Reed): the piranah

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Apparently one of the best meals I've cooked too, so I'm keeping that recipe

Lemon (Levi Reed): that took a bite of your toe

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the inability to not flirt

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

Lemon (Levi Reed): But also, sounds like Mini is cooking for us at the next RL meetup

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i vote yes

Rothuss Carder: The goblins out here weren't too tough, really. Just numbers of them. Probably the Pod man mushroom guy who broke a couple of my ribs and rearranged a few of my internal organs. Temporarily, I hope. It still hurts.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): If I'm there

Aien Mountainbane: Hmmmm

Aien Mountainbane: Looks at Melange, Why would you stay with these people?

Rothuss Carder: There was the Pod Man the size of an ogre, but I didn't actually fight him.

MeLange: Hmmm? Why not?

Rothuss Carder: What was it, 12 foot tall or so?

MeLange: Big, that's for sure

Ratbone Carder: at least

Rothuss Carder: I mean, big enough to throw MeL here across the cavern.

MeLange: What else is there for me to do?

Aien Mountainbane: frowns, So why would you travel with a pirate? looking at Lirt

Vee Barlett: Again with them accusations and no proof.

MeLange: that wasn't fun

MeLange: Don't care if she's a pirate, care if she's got my back in battle, and she does

Lirtimya: Because Cap'n here is my friend, and I wouldn't exactly call us pirates, we're returning supplies, not stealing them aren't we?

Vee Barlett: drinks her drink and says nothing

Aien Mountainbane: Nods

Rothuss Carder: So you're saying you're just bad at piracy?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Aien Mountainbane: Looking at Ratbone, who would you save out of this lot?

Ratbone Carder: That's not helping!

Ratbone Carder: jabs him with her elbow

Rothuss Carder: OW!

Lirtimya: Are you saying you're bad at piracy too?

Rothuss Carder: grimaces away the bruised ribs

Ratbone Carder: Can't people from pirate families be uninterested in piracy?

Ratbone Carder: And do something else instead?

Ratbone Carder: Like help their churchy friends?

Aien Mountainbane: (waiting for Ratbone's answer to his question)

Ratbone Carder: Oh that was for me?!

Ratbone Carder: My brother of course, duh!

Ratbone Carder: But I'd save every single one if I could

Levi Reed: Wow, ouch

Levi Reed: That guy?

Vee Barlett: Think he's beyond savin' but blood matters, I get it.

Temperance: doesn't look particularly surprised by the answer

Rothuss Carder: Love you too, buddy.

Ratbone Carder: You got something to say about my brother?!?!

Ratbone Carder: Threatening look at Levi

Rothuss Carder: chuckles.

Aien Mountainbane: Looks over Temperance, How is the church served by these people?

Temperance: thinks carefully over the question

Levi Reed: Nah, I'm just joking

Levi Reed: Reluctantly

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hoping to hear an insighful priesty answer

Temperance: Are you asking how non-priests serve the church? And if so, which church?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Because I have no idea

Spring (Ratbone Carder): or mysterious. mysterious answer

Aien Mountainbane: He is quiet and takes a drink from his goblet, waiting to hear her answer

Spring (Ratbone Carder): ooo judo answer! turn it back on em!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Temperance might be a priestess but Wendy is neither insightful or priestly

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I think you did good

Carissa (Vee Barlett): don't think he accepts that answer

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't think he does either

Spring (Ratbone Carder): don't think he recognized that answer

wyjyoon (Temperance): But I don't want to reveal too much about Vee or the party unless I have consent to do that

Rothuss Carder: sips at his drink and watches Alen.

Lemon (Levi Reed): You do what you think is right

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you can just point out today's events, not their life histories

Ratbone Carder: Isn't it everyone's duty to serve the gods? And therefore by proxy serve the church sometimes?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or state their strengths

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you don't have to reveal anything and still answer him

Ratbone Carder: We are good friends, and we serve each other

Ratbone Carder: so it's only right to help our friends who serve the church professionally yes?

Temperance: Without any specificities it would be difficult to answer properly. But I do know the Captain and the rest of us went through a cave full of fungal podmen at the Temple's request

MeLange: Like we're friends, but there are also benefits

Vee Barlett: drinks and waits and listens

Ratbone Carder: giggles

Ratbone Carder: not this time, MeLange!

Rothuss Carder: starts to say something, then glances at Ratbone and shuffles away, protecting his ribs.

Aien Mountainbane: The church asked you to go into caves full of ..... fungal podmen.... ?

Vee Barlett: Nah, they only asked us to come here. But as I said, it's been a long three days. Give her a break, she's still learnin'

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay to tell him about the humans being transformed into podmen or no?

wyjyoon (Temperance): And I said go through

Ratbone Carder: I don't think the church knows about the fungal podmen. They were a hazard on the way

Carissa (Vee Barlett): he say T so he knows to a degree, but technically the church didn't send us into the cave so not sure that'd help

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *saw T

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes

Levi Reed: We were hoping there was a way around the landslide through there. But there... wasn't

Ratbone Carder: points at Levi

Ratbone Carder: what he said

Aien Mountainbane: Listening

Rothuss Carder: So, how long have people been disappearing and getting kidnapped around here, anyways?

Aien Mountainbane: Ahhh

Levi Reed: And what are you going to do about the fungal army?

Ratbone Carder: Pointing at brother

Aien Mountainbane: So you can think

Vee Barlett: snorts

Rothuss Carder: Don't tell Vee that.

Levi Reed: And maybe you can give us some kind of documentation to take back to Orange Sunsets so they know we did their bidding

Vee Barlett: After some rest.

Ratbone Carder: You got your abductions. You got your landslides. You got your pile o wagons

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes, god, rest please

Vee Barlett: Ain't safe on these roads a night if ya don't know that by now.

Rothuss Carder: And checking up on our friends we rescued. Make sure they're doing alrigth.

Ratbone Carder: and you got your cavern system full of ugly mushrooms. AND you got your goblins too

Rothuss Carder: I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

Aien Mountainbane: Ever since the Full Moons something different has been stalking the forests

Levi Reed: Goblins are a natural hazard. This fungal stuff... something creepy

Vee Barlett: It's a mushroom man. He's growin' an army from kidnappin's

Aien Mountainbane: We have lost 17 priests from the Church

Ratbone Carder: holy moly

Temperance: Seventeen priests... quite a number, then

Ratbone Carder: whoa. i mean whoa

Levi Reed: 17 and you didn't send for help?

Aien Mountainbane: Well members of the Church not all of them were a member of a circle

Rothuss Carder: Takes a sip.

Aien Mountainbane: That is why we did not send anyone south

Aien Mountainbane: Minor raids to start

Vee Barlett: How'd you send your messages then?

Aien Mountainbane: then a landslide

Ratbone Carder: but you did send messages somehow

Rothuss Carder: Ever think to check to see if someone in the Church was working with them? Right under a church is a strange place to try and build an army.

Ratbone Carder: semaphore? blinky lights?

Rothuss Carder: But it makes a great story.

Aien Mountainbane: and we sent out a group of 6 who disapeared entirely

Levi Reed: Hate to break it to you, but they're probably mushrooms by now

Levi Reed: Or dead. We killed a lot of mushrooms

Ratbone Carder: makes a mind blown gesture at Rothuss

Aien Mountainbane: Then we sent 2 more higher level priests with guards to head south and we never heard back

Levi Reed: In our defense, we tried to talk to them, but they just started in on the murderin

MeLange: can't decide if it all makes me want to eat mushrooms more... or less

Lemon (Levi Reed): Honestly... I much prefer the caves to talking to priests.

Shislif (MeLange): ohhh burn

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

Vee Barlett: It's a mad alchemist lab in those caves, and we only seen parts of it. Whatever that thing is, we hobbled it, but ain't sure for how long.

Vee Barlett: We only came to talk to y'all about the shipment. We didn't come to clear caves so we did what we could before we had to get out.

Vee Barlett: So. You're welcome.

MeLange: threw me clear across the room

Aien Mountainbane: I will want to get better full reports from all of you about this

Levi Reed: I'd suggest you set us up to get back to our temple so they can send help... ubt... they're pretty selfish, honestly, not sure they'll send help.

Vee Barlett: Full reports in return for us gettin' healed and sleep, yeah?

Ratbone Carder: and foods?

Aien Mountainbane: Eventually we will need to clear away that landslide

MeLange: maybe you'll have to make it about them then

MeLange: don't forget food Vee

Aien Mountainbane: a place to stay, a few good warm meals as you stay with us

Vee Barlett: holds up her drink

MeLange: maybe a massage would be nice too

Aien Mountainbane: and you should be back to normal soon,

Aien Mountainbane: well

Vee Barlett: That sounds good. Guess I need food, too.

Aien Mountainbane: maybe not all of you, glances over at Merithina

Rothuss Carder: I'm a bad influence on you, Mel.

Vee Barlett: She gonna be okay?

MeLange: I think massages are good influence hehe

Aien Mountainbane: Raises an eyebrow looking at Vee

Vee Barlett: She was in there for awhile in some weird... pod thing. Ain't sure if it affected her physically. Definitely mentally, I'm sure.

Aien Mountainbane: Ahh

TMO (Rothuss Carder): (I missed all interaction with Merithina - what's wrong with her?)

Aien Mountainbane: we will take care of everyone that we can

Ratbone Carder: It's her companion

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (trauma)

Levi Reed: And what will you do with the ones that you can't take care of?

Ratbone Carder: She's really been upset over Thuskar

Aien Mountainbane: None of you leave without asking me first

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (she was prisoner but her friend is half plant, she lost most her caravan, so....yeahh)

Vee Barlett: raises brow

Vee Barlett: Ain't prisoners, are we?

MeLange Looks at Aien

Aien Mountainbane: Guests who have a lot to report on

Aien Mountainbane: Unless you can write?

Rothuss Carder: oof. that sounds boring.

Levi Reed: I can do it, I like talking

Ratbone Carder: We perform

Vee Barlett: Fine. If ya feed me and give me a place to sleep, I'll stay for a bit. But when I want out, I'm gettin' out.

MeLange: All of us? Surely Jeri can just summarize for us all

Temperance: I can write if necessary

Ratbone Carder: Rothuss, you can be a mushroom guy and I'll be a goblin

Vee Barlett: And some of them really like talkin'

Aien Mountainbane: I need written reports, not an intrepretive dance

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Vee Barlett: covers a laugh

Levi Reed: You interpret the dance into words for your report

Ratbone Carder: but but I'm really good at the dance part

Levi Reed: I don't know how to write or I'd do it for ya

Levi Reed: It'd be a really good report, I promise

Aien Mountainbane: pushes back from the table

Rothuss Carder: I think written reports would probably be greatly improved if accompanied with an interpretive dance.

Levi Reed: Very entertaining

Vee Barlett: Well Aien, guess yer gonna have to be smart about who you ask first.

Aien Mountainbane: In the morning we will talk again

Vee Barlett: holds up her goblet in reply and finishes her drink

Aien Mountainbane: For now welcome to the Church of the Mists

Aien Mountainbane: You are our guests

MeLange: Thank you

Levi Reed: guests, not prisoners

Rothuss Carder: We are your guests, and you are our Host. Thank you.

Ratbone Carder: Rothuss i'm gonna write it but use the manuscript as a prop

MeLange: It does seem quite misty in here

Rothuss Carder: toasts Alen

Ratbone Carder: like when we got to that room

Ratbone Carder: oh wait, maybe not that part

BOB So now

Spring (Ratbone Carder): the Mushroom Man!

BOB as you discuss ideas on what you want to ask for as a reward etc

Shislif (MeLange): I thought Mel was donezo there at the end, those tombstones with RIP are very misleading

Lemon (Levi Reed): So where do I put this summary? Still in mushroom man? Do I have to split it?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Do I know, the Mushroom Man?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): mushroom man

BOB and what you want to do next for who for what training

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and I'm sure they will

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I guess I'll be peer pressured into saying Yes too. :)

MeLange cheers

Lemon (Levi Reed): But also I'm not sure it's a great idea to just vote in front of the person like this, lol. Not that I would say no, but what if it was someone less good?

BOB smiles

Shislif (MeLange): that's how I got in

Shislif (MeLange): :)

Ratbone Carder: okay next time we should use a form

Shislif (MeLange): hey I'm not newest player anymore sweet

TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, you sweet summer children.... this isn't villainy...

BOB Now Wendy, you can roll a d8 if you want to roll your own Hit Points

TMO (Rothuss Carder): chaotic, yes. villainous, not even

Lemon (Levi Reed): Even better. Not only are you a villain, you're really bad at it.

BOB You have a 3 now, you can roll but you have to accept that roll

Carissa (Vee Barlett): exactly

MeLange's health adjusted by +17

wyjyoon (Temperance): I have returned

wyjyoon (Temperance): I was ready for that from the beginning silly Lemonade :)

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Bob - should Rothuss have goten another spell at 3rd level? Or just able to cast Retreat twice a day?

Shislif (MeLange): lol

BOB When you went from level 1 to level 2 you rolled a 3 for hitpoints, you can keep that OR you can roll a d8 to see if you can do better

BOB and not sure TMO, working through everything slowly

TMO (Rothuss Carder): actually, you and I might want to go over Rothuss offline, since he's quite behind on his leveling

BOB have not leveled Rothuss yet

Vee Barlett: one at a time, mannn

wyjyoon (Temperance): Um, okay, what does 3 for hit points mean? Does that mean I get three more or?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): sorry, I'd actually started typing that a while ago, then stopped to get the dog a treat, then hit enter when I got back.

Vee Barlett: 3 more health

BOB Yes you got three more

Carissa (Vee Barlett): OR try olling for better

BOB you went from 1st level to 2nd level

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay hm.

wyjyoon (Temperance): I guess I could try rolling for more

wyjyoon (Temperance): Which one's the d8 again

BOB Ok so the d8

Carissa (Vee Barlett): sorry cat was catting but I'd reroll

BOB next to the d6

Temperance: [d8 = 3]

TMO (Rothuss Carder): the dice at the bottom show a number on them - that's the number of sides

wyjyoon (Temperance): Glad I didn't get lower at least

BOB then you went up from 2nd level to 3rd level

Carissa (Vee Barlett): nice!

BOB and you got 6 points in the automatical roll

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'd keep that one

BOB you can keep that or roll if you want

BOB so Temperance went from 9 hit points to 20 hitpoints

Spring (Ratbone Carder): whee!

Temperance's health adjusted by +6

BOB She will have several things to train for including 2nd level spells

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yay, hopefully no plant monsters will KO me by hitting me once

Carissa (Vee Barlett): d10

Lemon (Levi Reed): Last time I believe she risked it and rolled lower

BOB and for Levi he rolled an 8

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yeah that's why I'm thinking I might keep it this time

Carissa (Vee Barlett): rude

Spring (Ratbone Carder): oh if it's a d10 and you have 10 why in the worled roll?

Levi Reed's health adjusted by +12

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no she has a 5 out of 10

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so debating if I want to try higher

Lemon (Levi Reed): I don't know, I was thinking what are the chances you roll lower for hp twice in a row, but... I mean, they're dice so

Spring (Ratbone Carder): If it's a d10 how do you get higher than 10?

BOB I am guessing Levi keeps the 8 rather than reroll

Lemon (Levi Reed): yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no no, meaning it autorolled a d10 for her and gave her 5. I have a chance to reroll and try for higher than 5 but whatever I roll is mine

BOB damn

wyjyoon (Temperance): Cool beans : )

Shislif (MeLange): nice

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and she didn't even hesitate

Lemon (Levi Reed): Just like a mini adventure

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol it's okay I'll get over it probably

BOB and the last one is Jericho who only rolled a 1

Shislif (MeLange): i think he should reroll

Carissa (Vee Barlett): she'lll just keep using Levi as a shield

Jericho's health adjusted by +1

GM: and the last one is Jericho who only rolled a 1

Spring (Ratbone Carder): sorry

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ratbone rubbing it in

BOB So that was an interesting story arc

Carissa (Vee Barlett): understatement

BOB I will do up all the training notes for who is trained to what levels

BOB and what open things to train for

BOB so that you can figure out what to opt for next

Lemon (Levi Reed): Rangers don't get training at level 4, yes?

Shislif (MeLange): kewl

BOB Not sure

BOB have to look it all over

Carissa (Vee Barlett): nope unless you didn't train anything last time

Carissa (Vee Barlett): like Vee still has an open slot from 3

Lemon (Levi Reed): I trained botany, which was two slots, so I think that was everythign I could do

wyjyoon (Temperance): Was the last one this harrowing? I remember you guys trading silver and then traveling to a temple to pretend the statues were talking

BOB Levi still has at least one slot open

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Levi used both on botany yes

BOB (LINK)

<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki-old/pmwiki.php?n=Main.DragonslayerTrainingPlans">(LINK)</a>

Carissa (Vee Barlett): rangers gained one WP and one NWP at 3

BOB I will update that page

BOB please do not edit it yet

Carissa (Vee Barlett): nope it was more RP and chasing a ruffian

Carissa (Vee Barlett): before that was goblins which was some combat but nothing like this and near death

Lemon (Levi Reed): Harrowing in a an emotional way, not a physical one

BOB So Wendy this is the craszy/wonderful/insane/fun thing about story arcs. This was supposed to be go into the caves, find out that crazy stuff was happening and leave, go to the church of the mists and tell them

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we overachieved

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh gotcha

Shislif (MeLange): yea we did

BOB Then the second story arc involving this was the idea of rescuring the people and get out

Lemon (Levi Reed): Y'all followed my "easty is beasty" to our detriment

Carissa (Vee Barlett): northy is worthy saved us

Lemon (Levi Reed): That doesn't even rhyme

wyjyoon (Temperance): We did kinda end up rescuing the people right?

BOB Then the third time for a story arc might/would have been the second and third level

Carissa (Vee Barlett): blame TMO he came up with a way to try to tyhme it

Shislif (MeLange): lol northy worthy i like it

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it *CAN* rhyme!!

BOB So you blended two of the story arcs I had planned

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, if you are bad at english speaking

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you're welcome

wyjyoon (Temperance): Whoopsie daisies : )

BOB But next will be questing for weapon trainers I think

Lemon (Levi Reed): Again, my problem was my one track problem solving. Problem was: "might be a way through caves to temple" solution was: keep going through caves no matter what"

BOB That and thief training

Spring (Ratbone Carder): northy go-forthy?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, yes, good Spring!

BOB and also Temperance will need spell training

BOB so lots for me to go over

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Ooo does Lirt get to train more people?

BOB Thank you all for a very intense fun day

Carissa (Vee Barlett): maybe

BOB 10 hours in

Lemon (Levi Reed): So we're ending early?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee might want weather sense still

Carissa (Vee Barlett): aww no rp or anything? we still have an hour!

BOB I need a break

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol, fair

BOB But please continue

BOB and then I can come back and be the NPCs again

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i also am physically tired

Shislif (MeLange): it was fun but also a lot lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I am here but up to you all

Lemon (Levi Reed): This is a very good stopping point if we choose that. I legitimately do not want to talk to those priests again tonight

Lemon (Levi Reed): But I can be here

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Bob how close am I to level 5? My page wo=ith the xp and stuff hasn't updated so I can see that

Shislif (MeLange): I'll leave FG running prolly check on some food stuff

Spring (Ratbone Carder): OMG yeah let's not

Carissa (Vee Barlett): also why is Lirt's name not bold? random question

Lemon (Levi Reed): OH, hey, yeah, shouldn't Mini be official now too?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): he is

Carissa (Vee Barlett): end of rum runners

wyjyoon (Temperance): On my end Levi Lirt Rothuss and Vee aren't bolded

Lemon (Levi Reed): fucking nepotism

Lemon (Levi Reed): :P

Carissa (Vee Barlett): interesting

Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hahaha

Lemon (Levi Reed): But actually I remember, now that you say that

Lemon (Levi Reed): Can we do like, mini bonus games?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we all calling it a night? or you want to listen to vee grumble about how people keep accusing her of being a pirate? so rude

Carissa (Vee Barlett): what are mini bonus games?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Sorry, but I don't have any bonus games for you lemon

Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): damn he's quick

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't mind staying : )

Spring (Ratbone Carder): that was really rude

Lemon (Levi Reed): Like, a game on a Saturday that only takes half the day instead of the whole day

Carissa (Vee Barlett): huh dunno if we've ever done that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you'll have to ask bob when/if he returns

Spring (Ratbone Carder): We did that time we were mice

Lemon (Levi Reed): Like I enjoy the all day games, but... I get sleepy

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Yeah but that was like... a whole different game

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and COVID times, lol

User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)

Lemon (Levi Reed): A bonus evening game for a birthday or something would be nice

Carissa (Vee Barlett): suck up to bob, mail him some wine, and ask him to do that lol

Spring (Ratbone Carder): so we mean more like a side quest

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh I read it as "my birthday"

Spring (Ratbone Carder): same characters, separate plot

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but my advice still stands

Shislif (MeLange): yea I'd be up for some saturday or sunday games

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, we could do that. But I mean just like... a Friday game, but another one the next nigth too, kind of thing

Shislif (MeLange): ah that sounds cool too :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): again, he likes wine so if we commit and convince him to... then maybe

Lemon (Levi Reed): Unless people like, have social lives on saturdays or something. I don't usually

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'd be game for it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): who has lives? I don't

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hahahahahahahahahaha

Carissa (Vee Barlett): except when work exists

Spring (Ratbone Carder): haha social life hahahaha

Spring (Ratbone Carder): haha

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol spring

wyjyoon (Temperance): Does it not count as social interaction if it's over a screen?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Like my birthday is May 7th, so I wouldn't mind a bonus birthday game the Saturday before or after... but not ALL day. Evening, so I could sleep would be ideal

Spring (Ratbone Carder): i've actually been trying to GET a social life and failing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I tihnk it does, this is social

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah my therapist says this counts

Spring (Ratbone Carder): oh good

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yay us being social!

Lemon (Levi Reed): But I have also been trying to meet people in real life, who live near me. But mostly I am too tired for that nonsense.

wyjyoon (Temperance): (insert gold star emoticon)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): people are tiring when you can't take a break from them to nap

Spring (Ratbone Carder): yeah the fatigue

Shislif (MeLange): real life, sounds nice :)

Ratbone Carder: okay i am going to bed. nitey nite!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I honestly have no idea what you all are talking about

Lemon (Levi Reed): It's not even the people, it's just existing that does it for me

Carissa (Vee Barlett): night spring!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): G'nite SiS!

Shislif (MeLange): nigght!

Lemon (Levi Reed): Goodnight Spring!@

'Spring' disconnected

wyjyoon (Temperance): Goodnight Spring : )

Carissa (Vee Barlett): existing is tiring

wyjyoon (Temperance): Valid

BOB Back

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that was a very short break

BOB and bonus games are vaild in any form

BOB Had to walk and put things away

BOB dishes and glasses are down stairs again

Carissa (Vee Barlett): good bet nyrma prefers that

wyjyoon (Temperance): Moving to a softer seat because my back hurts a little : )

Lemon (Levi Reed): Great, can we schedule one for May 4th or 11th? same time as Friday games?

BOB ALso Yes to Jtom being offical

BOB but he has not given me an official name to put on the list

wyjyoon (Temperance): My birthday's in March if that helps : )

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

BOB was supposed to talk with his Dad about what is appropriate

BOB respecting privacy etc

Carissa (Vee Barlett): my birthday falls too close to actual birthday game so...

BOB What sort of adventures do you want to do for weapon slot training?

BOB Or other things?

BOB Wendy what do you think you want to explore?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): vee wants to know why this church dude keeps calling her a pirate because rude

BOB "But you have heard of me"

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I mean yes that too

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't think these people would agree to examining more plant life

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I love that movie

Carissa (Vee Barlett): one of the few I've seen butonly the first one

BOB That is the key thing Wendy, it is for Temperance

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we were dragged along for this one so feel free to drag

Vee Barlett: just know Vee is keeping tabs

wyjyoon (Temperance): Brain noodles are brain noodling, so I'll talk about NWPs because that's an easy start : )

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol fair

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'm pretty interested in anatomy rn because that was the one I was on the fence about

BOB What sort of adventure do you think would be fun

wyjyoon (Temperance): Bureaucracy took up two slots

wyjyoon (Temperance): Um

Carissa (Vee Barlett): easy start: sea or land or both?

BOB for example if you were to go do something for someone who would train you in anatomy

Carissa (Vee Barlett): city or rural? jungle or mountain?

Shislif (MeLange): maybe something with less caves would be cool

BOB bring me back the skeleton of a unicorn

BOB sort of thing

Lemon (Levi Reed): Let's go find a grave robber

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I missed the less and thought you wanted MORE caves and was about to yell at you, lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): visit the museum of oddities wherever it is

wyjyoon (Temperance): No caves, um

wyjyoon (Temperance): Museums or libraries? : )

Shislif (MeLange): lol

BOB retrieve a rare book

Lemon (Levi Reed): Or like, back in the old days, dissecting humans was a huge no no, people had to do it on the DL... we can go find someone who does that

Shislif (MeLange): flying islands are always fun :)

BOB I can arrange that

BOB if you can come up with an idea on how to fly up to one

Shislif (MeLange): airships doy

Lemon (Levi Reed): Vee's albatross

wyjyoon (Temperance): Retrieving a rare book sounds pretty fun. Lemon's idea about finding someone who can do the no-no on dissection might be cool

Carissa (Vee Barlett): where is Mr. Ross? :(

Shislif (MeLange): or on the back of a friendly gentle dragon

BOB I do not get that one

Shislif (MeLange): a helium potion like willy wonka style

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Mr. Ross was the Albatross from our first sea trip

BOB Ahh

BOB he woudl be at the bar

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and I don't know where he went

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I hope so

BOB He would NOT be in the caves

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we'll have to make sure when we get back

Carissa (Vee Barlett): she's not a horrible bird friend, she definitely wouldn't bring him into a cave

Carissa (Vee Barlett): canary in a coal mine anyone??

wyjyoon (Temperance): Also do unicorns exist in this world? That's cool if so

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

TMO (Rothuss Carder): yes

BOB She is the kind of bird friend who trains a parrot to say Help Help a witch cast a spell on me

TMO (Rothuss Carder): one wouldn't let Shur near it, for some reason.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yup

TMO (Rothuss Carder): But Jilly could

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, that reminds me, aren't I supposed to have some kind of animal frienships skills?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Like, as a land ranger?

BOB Yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): animal empathy

BOB and you are supposed to have an opposed creature

Carissa (Vee Barlett): goblins I thought?

Lemon (Levi Reed): yeah, goblins

BOB Goblins are good

BOB Podmen are good

Carissa (Vee Barlett): which if she wasn't hurt she would have gotten a bonus when she attacked them

BOB at least as enemeies

Lemon (Levi Reed): Is animal empathy a skill that should be on my sheet or just a thing I have

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you made us choose a couple months ago

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Levi went goblins, Vee went scrags

Carissa (Vee Barlett): just a thing you have unless Bob wants to change that later this week when he goes through things

BOB I will double check that

Vee Barlett: oh actualy I have it listed under Abilities -> Features

Animal Empathy

BOB We need to come up with a story arc for Lirt to find new spells too

BOB as well as the bards

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Bards can go back to bard school

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we can take lirt to the library

BOB Not for spells

Carissa (Vee Barlett): then what's the use of school???

Lemon (Levi Reed): nwps?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Bard College. BARD college. Why call it such?

BOB all the others NWP type things

TMO (Rothuss Carder): at 4th, looks like we bards get both a WP and NWP

BOB performing acting dancing singing prestigitation

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, going to brag a little bit now, but can I just say how much better I've gotten at knowing things?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yay

BOB smiles

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well as someone who neither maged nor bard how do they usually get spells?

BOB Bards find magic in a haphazard manner

Lemon (Levi Reed): In just three and a half short years, Wendy, you, too, can have a slight idea of what is going on and how to play!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Yep! I'm awaiting INSPIRATION

BOB a bit here and a bit there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): sned rothuss to the streets of osterhold to seduce someone for magic

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'm sure I'll take much longer than that, but thank you Lemon : ) I'll ask for your wisdom when in doubt <3

TMO (Rothuss Carder): That's a different kind of magic, Vee!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): says who?

BOB I do hope you get a feel now for the big city through the wilderness of the near mountains and the sailing over the local islands

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but really, I don't know how one who doesn't have a diety finds magic

BOB Its a kind of magic

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no as in, I can't come up with ideas because I don't understand

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if BARD College doesn't work, how do we get the bards spells? and lirt? although I think library for her? I don't know

BOB Both of them can find scrolls and books

Lemon (Levi Reed): Or we go off in search of more bards and mages to meet?

BOB Mages also study and learn

BOB and that too

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ok that doesn't help me with ideas either so you all are on your own on where to find those things

BOB do a favor for a wizard so they trade you a spell

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ok that helps more

Lemon (Levi Reed): We could ask Vee's dads, they probably know some people

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so we find wizards and magic and things

Lemon (Levi Reed): Or at least know some people who know some people

wyjyoon (Temperance): We found some scrolls in the cave, and I think if you go to some ancient ruins or something there might be some?

Rothuss Carder: we also just got a whole bunch of scrolls. It's possible some of them are magic

Vee Barlett: speaking of her dads and magic.... I want to know what happened to Troy the Tanner still. That one's bugged me the most

TMO (Rothuss Carder): ooc

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we do need to see what those scrolls are, true

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we may have to spend some money IDing things

Lemon (Levi Reed): Can't Lirt detect magic at least?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

Lemon (Levi Reed): She have any spells left before we sleep for the night?

Shislif (MeLange): gonna do some dinner stuff, have a great week everyone :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): forget how you check what scrolls are what tho

Carissa (Vee Barlett): night sharif!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): WAIT

Lemon (Levi Reed): Goodnight Sharif! I'll miss you baby!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hand Rothuss the buckler!

Shislif (MeLange): I'll be sure to check in!

Shislif (MeLange): N I'll try that off line gaming stuff a go :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the buckler!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I won't remember in two weeks!

Shislif (MeLange): oh right!

Shislif (MeLange): how do i give that over?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): just action it

Vee Barlett: (Melange) hands Rothuss the buckler.

MeLange: Hands the buckler over Vee

MeLange: Hands the buckler over Vee

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that works too

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ty

Shislif (MeLange): of course

BOB have a great week

Shislif (MeLange): thx take care :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): Night Sharif : )

'Shislif' disconnected

TMO (Rothuss Carder): night!

Vee Barlett: looks at the buckler, then Rothuss, then tucks it away.

Rothuss Carder: chuckles.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it's not spite, don't worry

Rothuss Carder: It never is...

Lemon (Levi Reed): We might be able to get the priests to identify the scrolls as part of the payment?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): It never is...

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes good thought

Carissa (Vee Barlett): free training, ID the magic items

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and gold

TMO (Rothuss Carder): biggest worry is if they say "Hey, these are ours! Thanks! *yoink*"

wyjyoon (Temperance): They did ask for a full report, maybe they'll do it if it's part of the report?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): maybe

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh true TMO

Carissa (Vee Barlett): same

Lemon (Levi Reed): Did we loot anything in the cave after I left, besides the library?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no just the library

Carissa (Vee Barlett): scrolls and the stuff on the desk

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we didn't look through the bookshelf because it might have had traps

wyjyoon (Temperance): Were the goblin bodies ever looted btw

Lemon (Levi Reed): We did get a shitload of gold from the shambling mound area, though

BOB no

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no and neither was the nursery and I meant to point it out but... I wanted out and forgt

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but apparently there'll be a third arc to this eventually so...

wyjyoon (Temperance): I mean surviving was a bit more important, issok. If we want to come back better equipped we can, like you said

Lemon (Levi Reed): I actually really look forward to going back in there when we are better prepared.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

Lemon (Levi Reed): I liked this cave

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wait no

BOB LOL

Carissa (Vee Barlett): i did not

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I do want to be better prepared if that happens, though

Lemon (Levi Reed): I know, I know, I'm the only one who likes caves

Carissa (Vee Barlett): keep that staff close if it does :P

Lemon (Levi Reed): But I lied it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol you are allow to like it

Lemon (Levi Reed): liked*

Carissa (Vee Barlett): at least someone did

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it was different I'll give you that

wyjyoon (Temperance): If we weren't nearly dying every time we encountered things I would say I was pretty curious about the shambling mounds and other creatures

Carissa (Vee Barlett): most interesting cave I've seen so far

wyjyoon (Temperance): But that's just Temperance : )

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I bet there's some good stuff down there. But we weren't ready for it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

TMO: There were a couple of parts where TMO thought to himself, "What are you people DOING?" LOL

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but TMO didn't say that outloud

Lemon (Levi Reed): Then TMO should have said something

TMO: Oh no, I wasn't there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): confused BUT remember that communication is important

TMO: #1 of which was when Rothuss slipped and fell down the water slide, and *everyone just shrugged and jumped after him*

BOB 100%

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol well they weren't going to leave you

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I wasn't there but that was clear

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yes, god, please, my only request is that people communicate

TMO: Totally understand, but none of y'all had any idea if it was safe or if there was a way back. :D

Lemon (Levi Reed): And no one made any other suggestions so

Levi Reed: Yeah, but you can say that OOC too

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well your two sensible people are Vee and Lirt and at least Vee was gone and maybe Lirt too so.......

Lemon: Levi and Lemon both aren't great at logic-ing

wyjyoon (Temperance): At the time it seemed like acting fast was the best option

Lemon: You need to speak up OOC at least

TMO: iirc, I didn't have time to. And I'm not chastising you for it.

Carissa: and Wendy is getting there, but she's still new

TMO: it fit the characters

BOB true

Lemon: No, *I* am chastising *you* for it :P

Carissa: no, not thinking you are BUT it helps if you tell us OOC if we're being dumb, too

Lemon: My experience with this game is limited to what I've seen in this game. You have a broader perspective, and I like hearing it

Lemon: Even if we decide to just be dumb after hearing it

wyjyoon: Hearing more thoughts would help with the learning process too! : )

wyjyoon: Why did I press alt

wyjyoon: Force of habit

Carissa: yes i think the hardest for me was being gone for three weeks, coming back and being like, "wtf" but because I wasn't there most session we just... went with it. I can't armchair if I'm not participating

Carissa: BUT it didn't stop me from posting some OOC thoughts for you all to consider

Lemon: My biggest problem is not thinking outside the box I'm stuck in. And it's not that I'm not trying, it's just that the things I think of are not outside the box

Lemon: So I need someone to be like, but wait there's more, so that I can think on another track too

Carissa: kind of like how we got stuck on the "we need to clear out this cave!" until it was suddenly a "wait, why?"

Lemon: Exactly

Carissa: like how you don't HAVE to limit yourself to breakfast foods for breakfast, but sometimes you need someone to tell you the obvious

Lemon: I need someone to verbally shake me and be like "ok but also something else!"

Carissa: so in conclusion, stop keeping thoughts to yourselves!

Carissa: all of you!

wyjyoon: Still practicing that : ) Sometimes I'm just a confused bean

Lemon: That's ok, even that can break me out of a cycle

Carissa: worst that happens is I read it OOC roll my eyes, and probably won't comment so you won't even know I rolled my eyes!

Lemon: Even if you're like, explain why we're doing this?

Lemon: Then I can be like, actually, I don't know

TMO: part of my issue is playing Rothuss. I have to disconnect part of my brain. The cautious/paranoid part. And that's the part that does those warnings and plans.

Carissa: yes

BOB explaing to someone how something works helps like it was with Orison today

TMO: I haven't yet gotten comfortable enough with Rothuss to run both channels at the same time

Carissa: yeah and then we discovered why one was worried about healing spells but not the other

TMO: Rothuss fundamentally doesn't 'get' the concept of consequences.

wyjyoon: I also understood that roleplaying a Priestess was going to mean I would do a lot of wisdom and insight but that's still tricky for me

Lemon: Nah you're a baby priest, you're fine

Carissa: ehhh not necessarily and it doesn't have to be ALL the time

Carissa: she's wise about politics but not caves that's fair

Lemon: Your insight and wisdom can be just as bad as anyone elses

Carissa: Rae was wise about beauty and sparkles and friends but not, like, blood and guts

Carissa: anyways play how you want, you can roll what you need

wyjyoon: So does socializing adequately include as a Charisma thing

TMO: my poor dog is so bored. It's been too cold to take him out for frisbee

wyjyoon: Oh no : ( Poor pup

BOB it can

Lemon: He has a fur coat and you are a human who can aquire a coat

Lemon: It's not THAT cold

BOB It can depend on the skills you try to use

Lemon: And also sometimes you can get wisdom with a roll, especially if you have somewhat of an idea of what you're trying to find out.

wyjyoon: I'm just trying to figure out how to roleplay bureaucracy accurately. Because it makes me think that she has to know how to talk to other priests properly, but her Charisma doesn't help her

Carissa: lol so she understands the rules but not hope to impliment then when talking to others

Carissa: like a dry lawyer

Lemon: Nah, if she messes up, they'll probably just be like, "she's from a weird church"

Lemon: I mean if the roll is good

Carissa: we haven't done much RP with Temp yet in such a situation where she'd use it either for you to see how you can work it in this setting

Lemon: If the roll is bad, they'll be like, "wtf????"

wyjyoon: I guess no better way to see than to use it a lot : )

Lemon: But it's very VERY difficult to make mistakes during RP that we can't fix with more RP

wyjyoon: Who knows Lemon maybe she is from a weird church : )

Lemon: Especially since your new, BOB will probably go easy on you for awhile while you get your bearings

Lemon: Maybe she is! That would be fun!

Carissa: all the churches are weird so far so....

wyjyoon: I know he has been, and I appreciate it

wyjyoon: Like a church that obsesses over truth serums

Lemon: Yeah, so just because you might beauracracy in a way they would find unusual, doesn't mean it won't succeed

BOB chuckles

Carissa: Matty used cooking to try to figure out where some dolphins were located because "his crew hunted some once" so... just go with the flow and if your logic checks out then you're good

wyjyoon: Fair enough, thank you! I'll see how I can have fun with it in the long run : ) I did pick it to have fun

Lemon: and if it doesn't, BOB will just tell you no

Carissa: again the worst you can do it not roll in those situations

Carissa: not rolling means nothing happens

wyjyoon: Roll until BOB says no, got it : )

Carissa: lol mostly

Carissa: or if we're in a cave and can't waste time

wyjyoon: Oh yeah, I had no idea that if you roll a skill check you had to stay still

wyjyoon: Learning new things every day is fun : )

Carissa: lol one way of putting it

Lemon: lol

BOB there are lots of variables

Carissa: sometimes there are better ways to learn like when not in a cave full of mutant pod things

wyjyoon: I look forward to filling my noodly brains with more information soon : ) And trying to get specifics on Temperance

Lemon: Well, we now know she can use magic staffs to mind control fungus men, so she's gaining some serious personality now

Carissa: we can figure it out with time and if doing RP with her helps, I'm open for that

Carissa: lol

wyjyoon: I honestly didn't expect it to work

wyjyoon: The staff thing

Carissa: a bit of a scary personality but details

Lemon: Well, her interest in "samples" and "corpses" is also a little scary

Carissa: well we need a reason for Vee to want to keep her around

'Michael' disconnected

BOB Hah

wyjyoon: That was kind of the only thing I started her with : ) Influenced by Carissa and TMO

Lemon: But it's a good balance to the jovial group and the blatant threatening type of scary that Vee is

Carissa: LOL

Carissa: I can't even find words to dispute that

wyjyoon: I don't know if they remember, but we kinda started her character talking about cults and people who would purposely let snakes bite them : )

Lemon: Hard to dispute the cold hard truth

Carissa: lol yes I remember

TMO: heehee

Carissa: hey she's been nice so far and not shanked a person

Carissa: is that a low bar? maybe

Carissa: and she definitely has pummeled Rothuss at least once while they were at the church

wyjyoon: And then we started talking necromancy and BOB said NO

Carissa: put that on the record because she owed him a punch

Lemon: But I like the idea that she's as close to necromancy as you can get while still being a good guy

wyjyoon: I don't know if lawful neutral is considered a good guy, but yes, I do like that she's close to necromancy in that way : )

Carissa: yes a fun balance to explore

BOB grins

wyjyoon: If she had the writing implements she would keep observation notes on all the party members

Lemon: And she can try weird creepy stuff and see what kind of reaction it gets her

Lemon: Like maybe she just doesn't know where the line is

Carissa: if she has reading/writing she can do that

Carissa: and she can post it on site if she wanted as her own page...

wyjyoon: She probably would try it on herself if it meant getting results, yes

Carissa: Vee has her own diary on there

Lemon: Yeah, and if you want, Carissa can set you up a page on the website to put her notes

wyjyoon: Planning on it Carissa : ) So far I have it on google docs

Lemon: I would enjoy reading that

Carissa: welp guess I can do that this week since we have no game because I wanna read it

Carissa: and how Vee definitely does not give off pirate vibes

BOB yes

wyjyoon: Guess I know what I'm doing tomorrow : )

TMO: none at all

Carissa: and she'll never admit it

Carissa: probably

wyjyoon: Might ask more questions about Keldorian religion and churches

wyjyoon: Because I still don't get how churches work

Carissa: those are mostly bob questions but you know I'll help where I can

wyjyoon: Other than the fact that you all encountered some weird churches

Lemon: Yeah, it kind of sounds like they can work however they want to, honestly

BOB Lots to build on that

wyjyoon: I mean I'm really considering exploring whether the truth serum exists in this world or not. After Vee sent me a wiki page on that Tangena plant it got me hooked

wyjyoon: And how I can apply that to her being a priestess

wyjyoon: But that is a big box to open : )

Carissa: lol

Carissa: well that can be her quest to find some more answers

Lemon: Yeah, but share those thoughts, because if you have them, then BOB might decide to implement them somehow

TMO: Don't need to use it on Rothuss. He never lies.

Carissa: and if it DOES....Vee wants in because she knows some buyers

wyjyoon: That kind of quest could be intriguing. Would fit with her wanting to find answers to life's mysteries

BOB Have to consider the idea of is it better than a spell

Carissa: oh forgot zone of truth exists

wyjyoon: Is there a truth spell?

Lemon: Some people don't do things because they're better, they do it because they want to see if they can

Carissa: think it's a 4th level spell so when you hit.. lvl 6 or 7?

Lemon: Have you not seen the Jurassic Park movies?

Carissa: BUT when someone is in zone of truth they know it whereas a serumm....you can slip into a dirnk

Lemon: Yeah

Lemon: Plus she could like, do animal testing or something

wyjyoon: That's what I was thinking

Lemon: Slip it in a pond and have Vee talk to some sketchy fish

Lemon: who knows

wyjyoon: Honestly if Temperance wasn't a priestess she might've been a mortician

BOB grins

wyjyoon: Finding that out right now

Lemon: No reason why she can't be both

Carissa: lol

wyjyoon: Ohoho : )

Lemon: Her church can be the creepy church that provides those kinds of services

wyjyoon: Can it?

Lemon: Maybe a little unconventional for the world, but certainly not evil

Carissa: I mean Vee's actual class is Sea Ranger because she's all about protecting the sea. But she might be a pirate, too, but that's are details.

Lemon: I mean, BOB would make that ruling, but it seems fine to me

Carissa: so your class doesn't have to determine your... life goals?

Carissa: or something

wyjyoon: I wasn't sure that lawfully providing those services would clash with concepts of afterlife and deities and stuff : ) So I was holding off

wyjyoon: But yes, that makes sense Carissa

BOB Priests make good mortians, easing the way into the next life

Lemon: there you go

TMO: honoring the body honors the passing spirit

wyjyoon: Oh yay, guess she's a soon-to-be mortician

Carissa: hospice

Carissa: or funeral director

Carissa: or crime specialist who does autopsy

wyjyoon: So many options to think about : )

Carissa: plenty of real jobs dealing with death that are not evil but needed

wyjyoon: I appreciate those real life occupations, just wasn't sure how it would apply with the religion in the world BOB built : ) Now that I got the ok I'm proceeding

Carissa: again the distinction is doing it with their will OR against their will as the former is evil

Lemon: And so much is unknown about this religion, and the temples all seem to kind of do their own thing, so you can decide a lot of those things on your own, but with the knowlege that BOB might veto or tweak some ideas

BOB I think the smoke effect is nice but need to find the right use for it

TMO: each island seems to be very individualistic

BOB Very much so

wyjyoon: Sitting in previous campaigns always let me know GMs plan a lot of things to make their campaigns eventful and interesting, so I wanted to respect that before doing anything : )

wyjyoon: But yes, I'll note these in my noodly brain and reorganize them all soon

Lemon: I tried to tell you... our process here seems to very much be "fuck around and find out"

wyjyoon: Except when we're nearly dying : )

TMO: this whole part of the world is still very vaguely defined, so lots of room for Player Inventions

'Carissa' disconnected

Lemon: I mean, even then we did, with the staff

JtomTMO: Okay, I'm going to head off, goodnight everyone

BOB have a great weekend

BOB if you close your maps etc

wyjyoon: That's fair. Good night JTom! : )

BOB you can see the new animated smoke on the desktop

JtomTMO: It looks cool

Lemon: Very fancy

TMO: cya son!

'JtomTMO' disconnected

Lemon: But yes, I think I'm also ready for bed

BOB have a great night all

BOB Wendy I will post the chat tomorrow morning

Lemon: Goodnigth friends! This was a fun day!

TMO: g'nite y'all

wyjyoon: Good night everyone! It was fun : )

'Lemon' disconnected

wyjyoon: And yes BOB I'll do story chat or summary if anyone wants me to do it : )

'wyjyoon' disconnected
