Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 9]
MeLange: Passes Claudius and approaches the wagon
MeLange: then searches the wagon
BOB That includes two chests that are in the wagon
Vee Barlett: [d100 = 30]
BOB There is a gown, embrodered with small flourishes, very nicely done
Vee Barlett: Oooh, now this is pretty. I'll keep it safe for now.
MeLange: [d100 = 54]
Temperance: [d100 = 1]
BOB Melange finds a gold (plated? or solid?) set of pinchers
BOB and Temperance finds an Altar
BOB Not normally portable but special ones are created for a priest to be able to do high level spells when in the field
BOB Temperance knows this is worth well over 1,000 gp without the idea that she can use it
BOB and yes to Sharif, similar to tongs,
BOB and for Temperance it was being carried in a wagon
Lemon (Levi Reed): Not trying to rush it, but when we're done with this, I do want to put out the reminder that we do still need the loot from two weeks ago, since the loot tables were not working that week.
BOB Nothing from them
wyjyoon (Temperance): Except that one holy symbol that Vee picked up from that caster goblin
BOB yes but that is a separate thing for that person, there were no coins, etc found on them
BOB So their stuff must be back in their lair
BOB So things to accomplish: Find the owlbear lair, decide on when to heal, continue through the rest of the afternoon, find a place to camp, get through the night
BOB You know you have tonight, then tomorrow at some point you should reach the area where the Snow Man can be found
BOB No one has searched for the Owl Bear lair yet
BOB the previous goblin's that were searched you did not stick around in the hills there to find a lair
BOB Nor these Hobgoblin's where they might live
BOB but they did have this wagon so hard to tell
Rothuss Carder: Anybody got a shovel? Buried treasure. X marks the spot! *giggles* Pieces of eight..
MeLange: Think we should go check out its lair?
MeLange: Owlbear this big, I mean I guess all owl bears are kinda big I would think, but still either way they must leave some footprints or tracks or something right? maybe something to lead us to the layer?
BOB Over 8 foot tall for an Owlbear
MeLange grabs his forehead
MeLange: Lair
MeLange: anybody good at that kinda thing?
Temperance: As long as we don't derail too far away from getting to where we need to go. I've never seen an Owlbear lair before.
Temperance: shrugs her shoulders
MeLange: I thought the lair was where we needed to go?
MeLange: Oh the Snowman! Well who knows he might be there
BOB Trackign where the Owlbear came from to find its lair
BOB the Snow Man is tomorrow farther uphill
MeLange: We have time I think, if not then we're like 20 minutes late, no big deal
Temperance: I suppose that's a fair point.
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 18]
MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 7]

BOB Imagining the next ball
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 14]
BOB there you go Levi spots the broken branches and such to go back to where the owlbear was nesting
MeLange: Levi any ideas?
MeLange: follows Levi into the lair
Rothuss Carder: I suppose I'll see what I can scavenge here while you go off and have fun.
MeLange: have fun scavenging then
MeLange sniffs
Rothuss Carder: works on the owlbear's corpse.
MeLange: Lairs always have that musty lair scent, like they could bottle it, but I suppose only owlbears would buy them heh
Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Animal Rending [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 17]
BOB Rothuss manages to cut off the front paws
BOB but not keep the hide in good shape
BOB But yes Rothuss does manage to cut off the two paws but not get much else from the damaged pelt of the owlbear
BOB and Vee Rothuss and Temperance are searching the wagon and determining healing worthiness
Rothuss Carder: D'you think Parry's strong enough to pull the wagon?
Temperance: [CAST] Cure Moderate Wounds [at Rothuss Carder]
Rothuss Carder: [SAVE] vs. Spell [d20 = 12]
Rothuss Carder: AH! You surprised me!
Temperance: Apologies. I forgot to mention that I was casting.
Rothuss Carder: S'okay. I was butchering this cut already anyways... *holds up jagged paw*
Temperance: examines the jagged paw with interest
Vee Barlett: Gonna make me some daggers with those claws.
Temperance: Not a particularly clean cut, but I suppose considering all your injuries it's not too bad
Rothuss Carder: Let me get some rest and I can do a better job of pulling them. I just grabbed the whole paw for now.
Vee Barlett: Thinkin' it's his lack of dexterity in general but suppoin' he can use that excuse....this time....
Temperance: muffles a chuckle at Vee's comment
Temperance: Nice of you to give him a pass.
BOB and Levi and Melange are in front of a cave
BOB Looks more like an intestine with a little appendix hanging off of it
MeLange: Sometimes there's a thing where a man knows where he stands... and I right now I know I stand in front of a Lair
MeLange: What you say? Shall we venture forth then baby?
Levi Reed: Of course we shall
MeLange: Well ok then

MeLange: hmm
MeLange: still too dark i can't tell
MeLange: i'll take bottom you take top
BOB You can see there are various bones, branches, etc here just dragged in by the owlbear
Levi Reed: Yeah, that sounds like me
MeLange: oofff, lotta bones
Levi Reed: Do you think there might be more in here, though?
MeLange: Probably not, I mean what would an owl bear have?
MeLange: but I guess maybe his human meals had stuff?
Levi Reed: I meant like... a family
MeLange: oh yea totally
Levi Reed: Then I'm sticking with you
MeLange: oh wait
MeLange: I'm so dumb
MeLange: [SKILL] Animal Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 15]

Levi Reed: Don't you dare talk like that about my baby!
MeLange: think I see something
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 15]
MeLange: looks at those barrels across the cave
BOB They seem to be two barrels broken apart by something sharp, maybe a beak?
Levi Reed: This place is pretty big... maybe we should go report back? Ask for some help searching?
MeLange: Hmm, almost seems like a beak did that?
MeLange: I think we go back we move on, since we're in here already...
MeLange: may as well go a bit further?
MeLange: just be quiet?
Levi Reed: Here's the thing though, we're getting far enough in that if we call for help, no one will hear
MeLange: this is true, it's a risk
Levi Reed: Ok, just a LIIIIIIITTLE bit farther
MeLange: if you think it's time to head back we'll head back
MeLange: agreed
Levi Reed: Ok, now the other side?
MeLange: Yea
MeLange: this way
MeLange: whispers

MeLange: [SKILL] Animal Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]
BOB One is more of a skeleton but yes there is a smell
MeLange: ok, now is the time to decide
MeLange: searches the top body
Levi Reed: searches the other body
BOB Intelligence for Levi
Levi Reed: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 9) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 7]
-> Levi Reed: Levi has never seen a body like this, it is almost man like, but a long beard, and stocky build, but not a hobgoblin or goblin
Levi Reed: This is a weird dead body
MeLange: they're all a bit weird
BOB For the other things need a check for how you are searching the bodies
Levi Reed: I mean weird like not quite human
BOB Need a d100 from Mel
MeLange: [d100 = 60]
BOB Melange searching the mostly skeletal body and he finds a medal hanging from around the remains of the neck
MeLange: This guy or gal is mostly skeletons, has a medal though
Levi Reed: Do you think we can take it without getting cursed?
MeLange: grabs medal from corpose
Levi Reed: Well, I guess we're about to find out
MeLange: well I sure hope so
BOB Levi investigating his strange body finds a jewel encrusted battle axe
Levi Reed: Look at this fancy axe!
Levi Reed: takes axe
MeLange: Looks at medal
BOB A strange metal weaving around the handle and blade
MeLange: I'll trade ya
Levi Reed: I mean, I'm garbage with axes, sure
BOB with a gem at the top and bottom of the handle
MeLange smiles
Levi Reed: offers axe to MeL
MeLange: Just kidding you keep it for now, we can discuss when we're back to normal times
MeLange: You got the axe, there must be reason it was you
Levi Reed: Should we go now? I mean, we found some stuff, I feel like if we keep going we're really pushing our luck on finding some alive owlbears
MeLange: Yea sounds good to me, I could go for some lunch
Levi Reed: Plus we gotta go find that snow guy
Levi Reed: Guys, check out this fancy axe I found on a not quite human body!
Levi Reed: The body smelled pretty bad but the axe seems ok!
Rothuss Carder: Nice!
Temperance: Glad you made it back in one piece.
Levi Reed: Me too
Vee Barlett: Who would travel this way with such an axe?
Levi Reed: MeL found some kind of medal... maybe we can check if it's magic?
Rothuss Carder: Let me see...
Levi Reed: I'm not sure, but the guy wasn't human. Not like a goblin or anything... had a nice beard
Vee Barlett: Dwarf?
MeLange: Thanks I'm also glad we made it back
Vee Barlett: Seems they may be up in these mountains.
MeLange: Oh yea here vee, check this thing
MeLange: hands medal over to Vee
Levi Reed: A what now?
BOB Never heard of a dwarf but there are mountain men
BOB short long beards, etc
Vee Barlett: The dude with the nice beard in the cave.
Vee Barlett: Huh, fancy medal.
Vee Barlett: This on the corpse?
MeLange: yea, the one without an axe
Vee Barlett: Wonder if it's cursed or a hero's tribute
Levi Reed: Well there were two corpses
Levi Reed: The medal was on something that had been dead a lot longer
Levi Reed: Yeah, Vee, it did kind of look like that cave guy
Temperance: jots some notes about a man with a nice beard that is "not quite human"
Vee Barlett: I wonder if we'll find one that wants to be found.
MeLange: hmm interesting
Vee Barlett: Well we can pack it with the rest until we get it all appraised.
Levi Reed: This one probably would have liked to have been found
MeLange: feins interest
Levi Reed: But he was too dead to say
MeLange chuckles
Temperance: muffles a bit of laughter at the comment
Vee Barlett: Maybe his pride killed him.
MeLange: shoves Levi with elbow
MeLange laughs louder
MeLange sigh
MeLange: Oh it's good to laugh
Levi Reed: laughs a little, but super awkwardly
Temperance: Well, I'm sure he didn't want to die in an Owlbear lair.
Temperance: But what do I know about a dead man's thoughts.
Vee Barlett: You can always ask them.
The time is 3:08 PM
BOB You have recovered all the loot you can think to look for, you have the wagon and Parry to pull it
BOB The altar was in the wagon when you found it
BOB It is still there for now
Rothuss Carder: onwards and upwards!
Temperance: nods in agreement and stretches.
BOB Need two encounter checks before you attempt to make camp
Vee Barlett: [d20 = 14]
Temperance: [d20 = 19]
Rothuss Carder: moves over next to Temperance.
Rothuss Carder: Forgot to say, thanks for the healing.
Temperance: grins back in response.
Temperance: No problem, sorry it took a while. Had to review what I learned.
Rothuss Carder: What did you learn? Anything interesting?
Temperance: Quite a bit of spells and how to copy a language that I don't understand.
Temperance: I still wonder what that document actually says...
Levi Reed: Maybe the snow man will know
Rothuss Carder: I don't remember if I looked at it or not.
Temperance: Would you like to take a look?
Temperance: rummages about in her bag for the documents.
Rothuss Carder: You got it on you? Sure, let me see it.
Temperance: hands it over to Rothuss
Rothuss Carder: studies it while they walk along the road.
BOB Yes she kept a copy of everyting
Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Read Languages [PERCENT:Read Languages] (vs. Target 5) [FAILURE by 91] [d100 = 96]
BOB This was drawn by a 6 year old!
Rothuss Carder: Wow. That is a LOT of gibberish...
Temperance: It was a bit confusing to copy over, but I'm glad I was able to replicate most of it.
Temperance: As Levi said, perhaps the Snow Man might help us with it...?
Rothuss Carder: Yeah, it looks well-copied. I'm not sure, but I think this word here looks like 'chicken'.
Temperance: leans over to take a look and muffles a chuckle.
The time is 5:08 PM
Temperance: I didn't notice that one. I suppose it takes a fresh pair of eyes to see the resemblance.
Rothuss Carder: hands the paper back to Temperance.
Temperance: stashes it safely back in the bag.
Rothuss Carder: Sorry, not any help. Ratbone might maybe be able to figure something out. She likes puzzles sometimes.
Temperance: Nothing to worry about. I'm sure we'll find out something about it as we go.
BOB You come upon a crossroads
BOB straight (to the left of the map) is uphill the other two paths travel along the ridgeline
Vee Barlett: What's the map show, Tempe?
Rothuss Carder: Another wagon.
Rothuss Carder: points
Temperance: rummages and retrieves the map
Temperance: Er... it shows uphill if we go straight? I'm not too sure about the other two paths...
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Navigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 4]
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 20]
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 6]
Levi Reed: Upsie is... bestie... no
Levi Reed: Up is pup...
Levi Reed: hmmm
Temperance: muffles another chuckle.
Levi Reed: Needs work
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 12]
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 13]

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 15]
Rothuss Carder: Yeah, that's the altitude sickness talking there, Levi. Take a few minutes to catch your breath.
BOB Vee can see that these two other paths go along this side of the mountain to perhaps other hamlets, etc. up and over the mountain would be uphill
Vee Barlett: Uphill for snow makes most sense.
Levi Reed: As much as I want to check everything in the entire world out, I feel like maybe we should try to avoid distractions... I mean, look what happened in the cave, after all...
MeLange: nothing happened in the cave though, it was fine
Temperance: Well, if we're talking about course of events, quite a bit happened in the caves, but... well, we made it out alive, fortunately.
MeLange: oh well yea I just meant the last caves Levi n I went into
MeLange: but I guess if you mean all caves as a whole...
Temperance: Ah, that Owlbear lair?
Levi Reed: Oh, that was barely a cave
Levi Reed: At least as far as we went
MeLange: oh yea it was a lair, which is pretty much a cave i feel
MeLange: I mean fine then it's a small cave
Levi Reed: Yeah but we didn't go down like four water slides and three ladders and two waterfalls and find flesh-eating fish or anything
Temperance: Or encounter pod experiments, I hope?
Levi Reed: Nah, just a fancy axe and a weird medal
BOB You are at a camping spot if you want
BOB there is evidence there of other groups who have camped here
BOB and abandoned their tents, etc
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 5]
Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 3]
Vee Barlett: looks for torn tents, broken bottles, rushed footprints, ect
BOB The tents look to be still staked to the ground but the sides are torn open slashes
Vee Barlett: Yeah, somethin' attacks people here.
Vee Barlett: Maybe owlbear, maybe somethin' else. So we camp a bit aways.
BOB You are a few miles from the owlbear you encountered
Rothuss Carder: compares the size of the gashes in his shirt to the gashes in a tent
MeLange: [SKILL] Animal Lore [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 1]
BOB Melange can tell that these are NOT owlbear slashes, these are more precise, like swords
MeLange: Relax guys, these are obviously not owlbear slashes, these are more precise, like swords
Vee Barlett: Hobgoblins maybe?
MeLange smug stuff
Vee Barlett: Yeah, no, we should camp elsewhere, yeah?
Temperance: I'm not really sure if swords make me feel relaxed.
MeLange: well at least it's not owl bears, glass half full type of deal
Levi Reed: I mean, it's probably fine, but if y'all are going to be nervous Nellies, we can find somewhere else
MeLange: that is what watches are for
MeLange: but I'm ok if you want to keep going
Vee Barlett: Just up the road. We got time. And trees.
MeLange: Lets do it
Temperance: nods in assent.
MeLange: things about swords is you can drop a sword, you can't drop claws
Rothuss Carder: what if we put up our tents inside the slashed ones, so it looks like no one's here?
Levi Reed: ooooh, clever boy
Vee Barlett: You takin' watch then?
MeLange: think we all take watch at some point
MeLange: magic folks need their magic sleep so they go first or last, that whole deal
Rothuss Carder: This is why no one tries to help. They open their mouth to make a suggestion and get immediately volunteered for work.
MeLange: no one tries to help?
Temperance: I don't mind taking watch.
Vee Barlett: Nah, it was us talkin' about movin' on and you tryin' to give reason to stay.
MeLange: Yea I can take a watch too
Rothuss Carder: shrugs.
MeLange: Happy to help, I mean I have these big muscles...
Rothuss Carder: Doesn't matter to me where we stay. Just trying to help.
Vee Barlett: We gonna do watches no matter where we go, yeah? But if y'all wanna risk it here, then those who want to stay here gotta step up.
MeLange flexes
MeLange: Let's just go then, it was a nice idea Rothuss but it's a no go
BOB Do you want to stay in the crossroads (backtrack to there) or along the road where the trees are closer? or go into the trees a bit to find a clearing?
BOB Sun is setting
BOB behind you, so the full mountain is lit up
BOB Far off down there you can see the glittering sea
Levi Reed: begins to set up camp
Rothuss Carder: Nice view. Reminds me of home.
Rothuss Carder: unloads stuff from the wagon.
MeLange: helps
Temperance: I'm sure Vee would appreciate the view as well.
Temperance: moves over to assist
Levi Reed: MeL you wanna let the others take a look at that medal? See if they can figure out anything about it? Temperance can read and Rothuss... is Rothuss.
Lemon (Levi Reed): MeLange and Temp on first
Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi and Rothuss on second
Lemon (Levi Reed): Then whoever shows up next week on third
MeLange: Hey there Temperance, do you like to go by Temperance or can I call you Tempe?
MeLange: Not to be offensive or anthing
Temperance: Tempe is fine. It seems as though eveyrone's gotten used to the short form anyhow.
MeLange: Just feels less formal than the whole thing
MeLange: if that makes sense, like people call me Mel
MeLange: Names are funny things, how did you get your name?
Temperance: Better efficiency wise as well, in case of emergencies.
MeLange: true, many long-named folk have perished cause of too many syllables
Temperance: Er... I'm not too sure on the lore. I've been told that some fortune teller named me after her fortune telling cards.
MeLange: Oh that's cool, was it a nice card?
MeLange: that you were named after?
Temperance: I certainly hope so. I've been told it symbolizes balance. Or tipping the balance? I'm not too well-versed in fortune-telling.
MeLange: Or I hope it was a nice one at least, I think it must've been cause you seem plenty nice and pleasant to be around
MeLange: That's fine, I've never taken those fortune tellers too seriously anyway, but I think they're a good time
Temperance: I suppose they're alright. A bit too vague around the edges is what I've heard.
MeLange: Don't mean to put you on the spot though, do you have any questions for me? This is what we call Watch Talk...
MeLange: It's like talk that you do when you're on watch
MeLange: it's kinda sacred cause you're not supposed to talk about it after
Temperance: chuckles a bit at the comment.
MeLange: but then... you know gossip always happens one way or another
Temperance: I'm not sure. I've never been much of a talker. I lean more towards listening and writing.
Temperance: How did you end up joining this ragtag band of Not-Pirates?
MeLange: Hmmm, wish it was something exciting, was just hanging at the bar with my buddy Levi and we kinda got swept up with the tide, if that makes sense
MeLange: we're not exactly anchored to much, so it's easy for to go with the flow, so to speak
MeLange: usually towards the church and violence
Temperance: muffles a laugh.
MeLange: So what do you tend to listen to Tempe?
MeLange: you said you like to listen to things and to write
Temperance: Yes that seems to be the case with the rest of the party as well. Though I can understand the aversion to religious establishments.
MeLange: They don't always have the best public relations
MeLange: Is religion a big part of your life?
MeLange: if that's not too much to ask?
Temperance: Anything I find interesting, I suppose. Mostly about wildlife, though as of recent it seems to be human beings. I've always been cooped up within the bounds of my own religious establishment, so...
MeLange: if I had a choice I think I'd rather listen to wildlife than humans
Temperance: muffles another laugh.
Temperance: I thought so too for a while, but I dunno, human conversations aren't too bad to listen to.
MeLange: what types of conversations are some of your favorite?
Temperance: It gives you information, insight about their thoughts, personalities, livelihoods....
MeLange: That's a good point
Temperance: takes a moment to think about conversation types.
MeLange: Never thought of it that way
Temperance: I think ones that lighten the mood, I suppose? Travelling means we run into many different perils along the way. Quips, spats, back and forth, jokes... they're my favorite so far.
Temperance: Although I suppose some days it's the only ones I ever listen to.
MeLange: Hmmm, I think those are good conversations
MeLange: I think when life is hard sometimes it's like, what else can you do but have a laugh, spread some smiles
Temperance: Indeed. I was often told that laughing makes you appear unprofessional and loose, but I'm starting to learn that that might not be the case at all.
MeLange laughs
Temperance: Besides, quips and jokes are short, but have a lot of impact, you know? Tells you a bit about the person as well.
MeLange: well to be fair, I've never been accused of looking profesional
MeLange: short but sweet
MeLange smiles
Temperance: I suppose that's a fair point. Though I'd say you may be a professional at offensive combat.
MeLange: We use the gifts we're given, it seems like at least
MeLange: I can't do magic but I hit good
Temperance: Well, so far I can't quite do either, but once I learn more spells I could probably do some.
MeLange: I bet you'll be real good once you get some practice in
MeLange: Are you formally training?
MeLange: seem pretty great at healing to me
MeLange: and I've been healed on multiple occasions
Temperance: Currently practicing the ones I've learned so far, but the only training I've received recently was the two week session with the Church of Mists
MeLange: Alright alright Chruch of Mists, they no joke
Temperance: makes a face at the mention of Church of Mists.
Temperance: Still gives me a funny feeling when I think about them, but well... it is what it is.
MeLange: Oh my mistake, I didn't mean to bring up funny feelings for ya
MeLange: Guess our teachers can't always be what we'd want em to be, unfortunately
Temperance: Nothing too traumatizing or anything of that sort, it just... the whole thing with the caves and the pods gets me thinking too much.
MeLange: oh yea I remember those
MeLange: boy that was a day huh
Temperance: Not quite sure if it was a day or not myself. It was dark all the time, and we went down too many waterfalls.
MeLange: fair point, you lose track of all time in those caves
MeLange: Not the type of place one enjoys spending their time, and yet we always seem to end up in one type of cave or another
Temperance: releases a chuckle.
Temperance: Yes, we seem to have a knack for getting to places where we don't particularly want most of the time.
MeLange chuckles
MeLange: that we do
Temperance: I don't know if it means much, but on behalf of churches and temples, I apologize if they've forced you into things.
MeLange: Well I appreciate that Tempe, but that's not the sort of thing I ever held against you
MeLange: My family was harsh to me often times because of their religion, but that's not your fault
MeLange: Why is that something you feel responsible for?
Temperance: I had an inkling you didn't. I think it's just the priest in me talking. Religion does that weird thing where it makes you feel responsible for things you can't control.
Temperance: grins lightly.
MeLange: That does sound like a weird thing
Temperance: [d20 = 7]
MeLange: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 9] [d20 = 19]
Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 12]
BOB so now roll a d12
Temperance: [d12 = 12]
MeLange: [d12 = 4]
BOB so Melange is concentrating on Temperance and really listening to her
BOB Temperance is NOT surprised but everyone else is
BOB as two monkeys creep out from the wagon and POUNCE on Mel grabbing at one of his hand axes
BOB and Stealing it away
MeLange: what the?!?!
BOB Temperance gets 1 reaction before they do
BOB Melange is totally surprised
MeLange: You stupid Monkeys!
The time is 11:08 PM
Temperance: [CAST] Magical Stone [at Mammal, Small, Monkey 2]
Temperance: [ATTACK (R)] [THACO(20)] [d20 = 9]
Attack [9] ->[ATTACK (R)] (Magical Stone) [at Mammal, Small, Monkey 2] [Hit-AC: 11 vs. 8 ] [AC: 11 ] [MISS]
BOB so Melange suddenly is pelted by stones by Temperance
BOB He ducks and then when he stands back up he discovers one of his axes is missing
MeLange: ouchies!
MeLange: what the?!?! I look like a monkey to you?!?!
Temperance: With your antics, sometimes?
MeLange: my axe!
MeLange: My antics?
Temperance: I apologize, those monkeys were rather fast, and I had to react faster.
BOB Melange never saw any monkey
MeLange: By throwing a rock at me?
Temperance: Better that than an arrow.
MeLange: Well there's a priestly thing to say
MeLange rubs his head
Temperance: I think they grabbed your axe. I was trying to aim for their wrists so they'd drop it.
MeLange: 'they'? And 'they' is what?
Temperance: Monkeys.
Temperance: There were two on top of the wagon.
MeLange breathes in deeply
MeLange: Gonna be honest, I don't know how I feel about this whole situation right now
Temperance: You can feel however you want about it.
MeLange: 'disheveled' comes to mind
MeLange: well obviously I wasn't asking permission
MeLange: darn monkeys man I swear
Temperance: I'm sure it does feel that way, but it doesn't change the fact that your axe is gone and that I threw pebbles for reasons that you may or may not choose to believe.
Temperance: Indeed, I can understand why Levi doesn't like them.
Temperance: Though I'm glad they didn't do any harm.
BOB And it is time to wake up Levi and Rothuss for their watch
MeLange: It's fine, I believe you, I'm just not happy about the situation right now ok, so that makes me a lil grumpy. Sheesh where's Levi already I need someone to rub my belly
Temperance: You can go wake him up now if you need, er...
Temperance: Belly rubs?
MeLange: yea they're great
Temperance: makes a questioning face but chooses not to question it.
MeLange: after a long day
Temperance: I suppose what every person needs is different.
MeLange: goes to wake up Levi
Temperance: approaches Rothuss to wake him.
MeLange: hey buddy, it's wake up time
Rothuss Carder: zzzzz
MeLange: by the way we're on the fence when it comes to Tempe
Temperance: remembers that Rothuss is a deep sleeper.
Levi Reed: No thank you, I already bought one!
Levi Reed: rolls back over
MeLange: shakes Levi
MeLange: wake up time!
Temperance: gently pokes him with her fungal staff.
Temperance: There were monkeys during our watch.
Levi Reed: Ugh, fiiiine
Levi Reed: We're what when it what now?
MeLange: monkeys'll take your stuff
Temperance: There were monkeys during our watch.
Rothuss Carder: Nooo... don't make me dance with the monkeys againnnn...
Rothuss Carder: zzzzzzzz
Levi Reed: They fucking better not
Temperance: chuckles at the sleeptalk.
Levi Reed: I will murder every monkey!
MeLange: monkeys have no honor
Temperance: attempts to shake him awake.
Levi Reed: I tried to tell you
Temperance: Go fight monkeys with Levi, please.
Levi Reed: kicks Rothuss a few times
MeLange: you were right, I was wrong, what can I say?
Levi Reed: I'm not watching monkeys on my own man, get up
Rothuss Carder: Ahhh...!!
MeLange: you could spit in his face
Levi Reed: I'm not a BARBARIAN
Rothuss Carder: curls up around the wound in his side that Levi just kicked.
Temperance: Does anyone need healing before they start watch?
Levi Reed: Yeah, I could use some
Rothuss Carder: Dammit!
Rothuss Carder: rolls over flat on his back and probes at it to see if it's bleeding again.
Levi Reed: I'm not doing too bad, but if I'm going to have to fight off MONKEYS
Levi Reed: I can use all the help I can get
Rothuss Carder: Yeah, we know...
Rothuss Carder: I'll take anything you can give me, Temperance.
Levi Reed: Get a room
Levi Reed: is cranky because monkeys
Rothuss Carder: I had one, until some bastard kicked me.
Levi Reed: I will thank you to leave my mother out of this
Rothuss Carder: I've seen your mother. I'll thank you to leave her out of this too.
