'seyfert' connected

GM: TMO and Carissa

Master TMO: Bob and ... others?

springdew: Hi!

wyjyoon: Hello hello!

Master TMO: Hallooo!

springdew (Ratbone Carder): :-D

seyfert: it's only 5 after?? how is everyone here already??

seyfert: minus lemon because work

GM: grins

GM: YOu want to get to the bottom of this

Master TMO: WFH all this week. Actually worked late today and just got back from a McD's run

seyfert: migraine is subsiding, but might need a few more minutes at least before I'm fully here

seyfert: which is fine because I'm not negotiation things :P

seyfert: but I did have a question

Master TMO: *hands Carissa a pair of soft fuzzy dark sunglasses*

seyfert: Is Thuskar going to follow after one round Jericho to presumably the temple of orange sunsets?

seyfert: Hey, that fuzzy dark thing has a name and it's Orion. And he's keeping my lap warm.

GM: Thuskar is following Jericho yes

Master TMO: does he have a belt? He must have a belt.

seyfert: *waves bye to Thuskar*

seyfert: that is why I named him Orion!

springdew (Ratbone Carder): Hee!

seyfert: Cat in Black.

GM: I am ready when you are

seyfert: take it over, twins

Ratbone Carder: blank look

wyjyoon (Temperance): If there's a map, could someone link it to me by chance?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Didn't pop up like it usually does

Rothuss Carder: stretches.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): probably just RP so no map

Rothuss Carder: You think these guys are going to show up?

Ratbone Carder: tuning lute

Ratbone Carder: mmmm? eventually

Ratbone Carder: [singing] Ronly Bonly Jones

Rothuss Carder: taps out a beat for her on the table top with his fingertips.

Ratbone Carder: whoops

Ratbone Carder: tuning another string a little more

seyfert (Vee Barlett): give me like 5 mins

GM: No map

User has gone AFK. (seyfert)

Ratbone Carder: Aha [singing] Ronly Bonly Jones! Showing you his bones

Ratbone Carder: a jones is a craving and you are stark raving

Ratbone Carder: Ronly Bonly Jones

Ratbone Carder: Ronly Bonly Jones. Nothing that he owns

Ratbone Carder: Farmland is flatter, he's mad as a hatter, Ronly Bonly Jones

GM: Who are you waiting for Rthuss?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): the student(s) who Snow Man said could train us.

GM: Ahh

User has gone AFK. (seyfert)

GM: I thought there was going to be more disuccussions with him

GM: But

wyjyoon (Temperance): Wasn't there supposed to be a dinner of some sort?

springdew (Ratbone Carder): He said we have to negotiate with them

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): no worries - you tell us the scene, and we'll play it

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): we *are* performers, after all

Grete Havrevold: Walks in and looks Rothuss and Ratbone up and down

Grete Havrevold: You are here because you need help

Ratbone Carder: Looks Grete up and down in return, dramatically

Rothuss Carder: Welcome, and thanks for coming.

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Etiquette [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 13]

Ratbone Carder: can tell by his body language that brother is about to make nice

Grete Havrevold: (grins)

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): ACTING!

Grete Havrevold: So I have to ask just what do you know how to do?

Ratbone Carder: dramatic flourish on the lute

Ratbone Carder: I can also do that with whistles and bagpipes

Ratbone Carder: Sorry, my brother Rothuss here is the eloquent one

Rothuss Carder: Well, a fair amount, but hardly everything. At the moment, I've been working on practicing my climbing. A couple other little bits and bobs here and there afterwards. Finger slips, etc. Ratbone here is simillar, but interested in escaping bonds. Not sure why, she's no damsel in distress.

Grete Havrevold: Slipping things out of a pocket

Grete Havrevold: Managing to make it up a wall without falling

Grete Havrevold: Hearing things in the dark

Grete Havrevold: Amd I right in that?

Rothuss Carder: Sounds like a reasonable start.

Ratbone Carder: Sneaks and trickery

Rothuss Carder: nods.

Rothuss Carder: nods.

Rothuss Carder: "Sneaks and trickery."

Rothuss Carder: "Sneaks and trickery."

Grete Havrevold: Do you know where you will be assigned?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (f'd that whole thing up)

Ratbone Carder: We get assigned?

Rothuss Carder: looks at Ratbone, confused.

Grete Havrevold: You are here for training

Ratbone Carder: shrugs

Ratbone Carder: We're ... not exactly employed at present. Hopefully the training will help with that

Grete Havrevold: Are you going to be a Troubleshooter? or an Investigator?

Rothuss Carder: Umm... Entertainer.,

Grete Havrevold: The Church sent you here for training

Grete Havrevold: I do not entertain

Ratbone Carder: That's what I meant to say. The Church did that. Yes. They did.

Rothuss Carder: No worries. That's not what we're here for. But we did the Church a favor, so they did us one, referring us here to you.

Ratbone Carder: Nods.

Ratbone Carder: Nods.

springdew (Ratbone Carder): I was totally paying attention when they did that. Yes. I surely was.

springdew (Ratbone Carder): and yep OOC

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): *pat* *pat* *pat*

Ratbone Carder: Back to your question, troubleshooter or investigator? I hadn't meant to specialize.

GM: yes to being told they would help you but no indication they were paying

Rothuss Carder: I think you'd be more of an investigor. I'd make a dandy troubleshooter.

Grete Havrevold: We train people in lots of areas

Ratbone Carder: But do you train swashbucklers because I believe ...

Ratbone Carder: significant looks at brother

Rothuss Carder: nods.

Grete Havrevold: but the Church sends us the people they want to be Investigators or Troubleshooters

Rothuss Carder: That makes sense. How does the Church pay you for your services?

Grete Havrevold: Swashbucklers? that is like entertainers

Grete Havrevold: It depends

Grete Havrevold: Normally the children grow into what fits them best

Rothuss Carder: Reminds me a bit of Fagin.

Ratbone Carder: I don't remember Fagin.

Rothuss Carder: Anyways! Was there any indication if the favor from the Church covered our costs? If I know anything about the Church, I'm guessing not.

Grete Havrevold: Training is always paid by work

Rothuss Carder: No, you probably don't. Story I heard about a far away city.

'JtomTMO' connected

GM: Welcome JTom

Rothuss Carder: Work? Very well. What sort of work?

springdew (Ratbone Carder): Hi JTom!

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (Hey son! Congrats on remembering without reminders!!)

Grete Havrevold: I will ask what tasks need to be done

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hi mini!

Rothuss Carder: *imitates Snow Man's voice*

Grete Havrevold: I will guess you can go in search of items needed

Rothuss Carder: These are good people! Train for free!

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Voice Mimicry [2] [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 19]

Rothuss Carder: grinning to show he's joking

Grete Havrevold: I cannot train you to be better at that

Grete Havrevold: But maybe Jorge can

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): why is it I can never succeed at those skills?

springdew (Ratbone Carder): iunno

springdew (Ratbone Carder): maybe your dice need smelting

Rothuss Carder: Dang. He has a hard voice to copy after only 1 visit. I don't think I nailed it very well.

Grete Havrevold: He does know how to project his voice

Rothuss Carder: That's quite alright, uhh... I don't think I caught your name, I'm sorry.

Rothuss Carder: I do too! ... usually...

Grete Havrevold: You were supposed to trick it out of me

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Hello

Rothuss Carder: I think I missed that page of the instruction manual, sorry.

Grete Havrevold: Maybe you can find it for tomorrow morning

Rothuss Carder: We tend to work in more social groups where we talk and converse.

Grete Havrevold: In the morning meet me at the Green Building

Grete Havrevold: and we will go over your climbing skills

Grete Havrevold: Do you have a priest you prefer for healing?

Ratbone Carder: hee!

Rothuss Carder: looks over at Ratbone, then back.

Rothuss Carder: Temperence.

Ratbone Carder: you're gonna have fun

Grete Havrevold: Very well, I will have her on hand to handle your mistakes

Grete Havrevold: I take it she is someone who came with you

Rothuss Carder: I'd pretend to be offended, but I don't think I could keep a straight face.

Rothuss Carder: That is correct.

Ratbone Carder: And for the escaping? Is there a time and place I should show up for that?

Grete Havrevold: I can combine lessons for you

Grete Havrevold: How far up the wall can you make it with one hand tied behind your back

Rothuss Carder: Can honestly say I've never tried.

Ratbone Carder: Me neither

Grete Havrevold: You will find out then

Stands up

Grete Havrevold: Any other questions?

Grete Havrevold: Did someone else need training with you?

springdew (Ratbone Carder): confused

Rothuss Carder: Thank you for your time. You're obviously a good student of your master.

Ratbone Carder: We can't both study each other's lessons ... ?

Grete Havrevold: He is a good Lord

Ratbone Carder: I mean, we're supposed to train a certain skill ... ?

Ratbone Carder: each?

Grete Havrevold: You both need several skills and it remains to be seen how many

springdew (Ratbone Carder): What is character-speak for "I don't have that many slots"?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (so many...)

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (we both have a couple levels of thief skills that need training as well)

GM: Yes it is mostly thief skill levels to be learning

springdew (Ratbone Carder): okay

springdew (Ratbone Carder): I didn't want climb walls, but whatever

GM: There are several things

GM: All the various bucket of thief skills you can learn

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Escape is at least a Rogue skill. do you have the thief points figured out for where you want to spend them?

springdew: No. No. I don't have patience for the ever dwindling quantity of agency tonight. It's the main reason I don't invest deeply in the game anymore.

springdew: All my effort means nothing because my choices become fewer and fewer and there comes a time when Im just a mannequin and I don't want that.

'springdew' disconnected

GM: Not trying that at all Spring

GM: Ok

GM: I am sorry for anyone feeling they do not have choices

GM: SO I will wait to hear from those remaining

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (vee is not spending her open nwp yet)

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): the tightrope for me on this one is trying to talk metagame concepts In Charicter

GM: I am trying to convey that this is someone who can train you in the various thief skills you want

GM: I am not sure how Spring thought that was reducing her agency to pick what skills to increase

Master TMO: Released him just so I don't have to remember to keep hitting Alt. ;)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): story chat person thanks you

Master TMO: ooc talk: Grete here can only teach us thief skills, right?

Master TMO: Is there someone who can teach her Escape?

GM: Yes

GM: NWP are different

GM: Escape Bonds as a Thief Skill fits right in with her training

GM: Read Languages

Master TMO: that's not a Thief Skill bards get. She's wanting the NWP

GM: Climb Walls

GM: etc

'LemonyLemon' connected

GM: and yes this is a place for those NWP also

GM: Maybe not this particular person to train you but yes to learning it here

Master TMO: Good. Rothuss is just looking for thief skills here. For Ratbone, ideally, whatever Thief skill pts she needs, plus the NWP

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): helloooo

GM: Yes as was indicated last week most NWP except those exclusive to Mage or PRiest

GM: Hello Lemon

Master TMO: Hi!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Hey Lemon!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hi lemon!

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Where's full size tonight?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oh, nevermind, I see him

seyfert (Vee Barlett): wut?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): because not mini?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh tmo

GM: So Poetry is a yes, Research is a no

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ooooh, someone is going to try and out-poet Levi?

Master TMO: ok, is Grete going to tell us what the payment is going to be?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I am here, entered a while ago

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I saw your character lit up, I didn't see Rothuss

GM: She will in the morning, after testing you to see how much training you need

Master TMO: Good to know it's a She. :)

GM: grins

Master TMO: ok, I think that's us covered then.

Master TMO: Rothuss needs to social engineer her name from someone before tomorrow.

GM: I think part of the confusion might be that thief skill training comes every level where NWP are only every 3rd or 4th

GM: so there is lots more thief skill training to accomplish

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Too bad Rae isn't here to help push the romance

Master TMO: Random Rules question: Can Ratbone *learn* the Escape Bonds thief skill to add to her every-level repertoire?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sad noises

GM: I would say no

Master TMO: what I figured

Master TMO: ok, I think that's us taken care of then

Master TMO: plain gamer talk makes it *much* easier

Rothuss Carder: claps his hands together.

Rothuss Carder: Thank you, miss. I look forward to our time together.

Grete Havrevold: Bring your healer in the morning

She walks off happy

Rothuss Carder: Of course. I bet she'd love to watch me fall down a lot.

Britta Hareide: Hola

Rothuss Carder: watches her walk off.

wyjyoon (Temperance): No particular preference, but I bet someone would make fun of him if she were here : D

Britta Hareide: How are you sweeties doing today

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): still us, or someone else?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Vee : )

GM: Everyone is in the same room

seyfert (Vee Barlett): wut?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Nothin : D

Vee Barlett: Been better. Still too dry up here.

Britta Hareide: Such good boys and girls you are

Vee Barlett: makes a face

Temperance: raises an eyebrow skeptically

Vee Barlett: Boys and girls? We ain't kids.

Britta Hareide: I will be sure to make a note you like to be wet

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): gross

Vee Barlett: rolls eyes

Vee Barlett: Only if it ain't an innuendo. Enough of those around.

Britta Hareide: Tell me the best way to carve the green moss off of a Palm frond

Vee Barlett: Hand it to yer chef.

Britta Hareide: Your chef will throw it back in your face

Vee Barlett: Yeah then Dad will get mad an' fire 'em.

Britta Hareide: Green Moss can only be used in soup if it is throughly washed first

Britta Hareide: So you are not here for cooking classes

Britta Hareide: why are you here>

Vee Barlett: Heck no.

Vee Barlett: I dunno, the twins wanted trainin' or something. Ms Mirnay wanted some help or somethin'. Claud had to deliver a baby or somethin' and the rest of us are just here for the shits and giggles, I guess.

Britta Hareide: We do not allow people to lollygag along, you much contribute

Vee Barlett: Gods, like the church all over again.

Vee Barlett: I ain't bein' trained so why should I pay?

Rothuss Carder: Yes, we were just talking with the lady who just left. She neglected to tell us her name though. I don't suppose you could share it with us?

Britta Hareide: Why do you think you left the church behind?

Vee Barlett: barks a laugh

Vee Barlett: Ain't part of it to leave behind.

Britta Hareide: Then you will find your self very dry

Britta Hareide: Who are you training with? Looking at Rothuss

Vee Barlett: I ain't here for philosophy, neither.

Rothuss Carder: points at the door.

Britta Hareide: I do not teach that

Rothuss Carder: The lady you just passed in the hallway.

User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)

Britta Hareide: Whose house are you training at?

Rothuss Carder: Green

Britta Hareide: Ahh physical training

Britta Hareide: good

Britta Hareide: I will make sure you get extra cloth for your bruises

Rothuss Carder: Thank you. And her name...?

Levi Reed: How does cloth help with bruises?

Britta Hareide: She told you

Britta Hareide: Wrapping them tight with a poltice can help reduce the swelling

Rothuss Carder: nods. "Yep. This whole place is definitely in the same style as the lord of the manor."

Levi Reed: Ehhhh, doesn't seem worth it

Britta Hareide: So I have a young priestess staying with us, two young people training for physical arts

Britta Hareide: a stubborn young sailor

Vee Barlett: mock salute

Britta Hareide: Looks over at Levi

Britta Hareide: How do you fit into this group?

Levi Reed: Well, I was a real pain the ass about that baby, not sure I do fit in anymore

Britta Hareide: glances over, do not think I did not notice you young mage

Britta Hareide: Which baby?

Vee Barlett: He the jungle sailor

Levi Reed: How many fresh babies do you have here?

Vee Barlett: Whatever you landlubbers call 'em

Britta Hareide: We have over 20 orphans here at the school

Levi Reed: Well, it's the newest one

Britta Hareide: Name?

Britta Hareide: When did they arrive?

Levi Reed: I was told the kid will pick their own name later or something like that

Britta Hareide: As is fitting

Britta Hareide: How would you like it if somone forces you into some mold just because they think they know you better than you know yourself

Levi Reed: That's kind of how I ended up here

Britta Hareide: How so?:

Levi Reed: Trying to escape from the family business

Rothuss Carder: I'm absolutely *positive* no one in this group could possibly fall into that group. Nope.

Levi Reed: I'm no fisherman

Britta Hareide: Not everyone wants to continue what their family started

Rothuss Carder: grins over at Ratbone.

Britta Hareide: So why are you here ?

Levi Reed: Just accompanying my friends. Strength in numbers and all that

Britta Hareide: So you are not looking to learn

Levi Reed: Not particularly

Britta Hareide: Good to know

Britta Hareide: So I can assign you to other tasks

Levi Reed: Sure. I made a pretty decent workhorse down at the temple, no reason why I shouldn't be able to do that here as well

Britta Hareide: We have a contraption that needs strong arms

Rothuss Carder: Got a hankering for some babysitting, Levi?

Rothuss Carder: See firsthand how they treat them?

Levi Reed: Hey, couldn't hurt to learn some of that baby stuff. I almost became a single dad after all

Britta Hareide: Being a single parent is a hard thing

Britta Hareide: you should not go into that unknowing

Levi Reed: I mean, that wasn't my first choice

Britta Hareide: And a man has a harder time than a woman does

Britta Hareide: at least a woman can feed her child

Rothuss Carder: Goat milk.

Britta Hareide: Turns to Lirt

Britta Hareide: and What are you here for young lady?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): OOC: Lirt can NOT learn Research here, because it's a Mage NWP, correct?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): just to confirm what I've told him

GM: Correct

GM: BUT that does not mean she is not going to learn it, just not from this facility

GM: There will be more options, now that we know what people want to learn

Lirtimya: Following them, unless you can help with translation or if you have some scrolls I can take a look at

Britta Hareide: I do not do anything with scrolls, I cannot read

Britta Hareide: translation would be very useful

Britta Hareide: Can you speak goblin?

Britta Hareide: Or dryad?

Vee Barlett: Is that what te wife speaks? She a dryad?

Britta Hareide: She is the queen? princess? madron? of the forest

Britta Hareide: I am not quite sure of the translation

Britta Hareide: Lord Snow understands her

Vee Barlett: Huh, gonna need that story why she thought THAT dude was worth her time.

Temperance: hums and scribbles some notes

Vee Barlett: He really called Snow?

Lirtimya: You don't even have any scrolls lying around that people have lefft or forgotten? And no, we found scrolls in a cave with some weird writting on it, I don't wish to learn another language, but do you have anyone that may be able to translate these scrolls?

Britta Hareide: I can ask around if there are others who need writing

Temperance: It would be nice to learn the language this Lady of the Manor speaks.

Britta Hareide: Lord Snow has been in charge of the orphanage longer than I have been here

Temperance: raises an eyebrow and continues scribbling.

Britta Hareide: Sweetie do you need some more ink?

Britta Hareide: I know priestesses go through lots of it

Temperance: Ah, that would be nice if you have some extra on hand.

Vee Barlett: We should getcha a pet octapus or squid or somethin'...

Britta Hareide: Yes, thank you.... young sailor? what is your name?

Temperance: perks up at the thought of getting to see octopi or squid.

Temperance: Haven't gotten to seen those yet. I heard octopi are curious creatures.

Vee Barlett: Cute n' smart. I love 'em.

Britta Hareide: The ones in the trees are very colorful

Vee Barlett: Octopi don't live in trees.

Vee Barlett: Just call me Vee.

Britta Hareide: eight arms? squirt ink in your eye? camoflage?

Britta Hareide: Are you sure we are talking about Octopus?

Vee Barlett: And breathe water. Ain't good at bein' in air too long.

Britta Hareide: Never seen one in the water

Vee Barlett: Or you talkin' spiders? That be silk.

Britta Hareide: No no

Britta Hareide: I think you need to spend sometime in the jungle

Lirtimya: Tree Octopi

Britta Hareide: See your young mage knows

Vee Barlett: Well if there be air octopi, then yeah, this might be an interestin' trip.

Lirtimya: That's scary, aren't octopi poisonous?

Britta Hareide: Venomous

Vee Barlett: Nah, only some of 'em but you shouldn't eat 'em anyways.

Rothuss Carder: sniffs at his drink to see if it's been drugged.

Looks at Vee

Vee Barlett: And only some of them venomous, but them beaks hurts like none other without venom.

Temperance: perks up and mentally notes to herself, "Research about Octopi venom...at some point"

Britta Hareide: SO I will assign you to go to the lake tomorrow

Lirtimya: They're smart too, so they know how to sneak up on you

Vee Barlett: Sweet!

Rothuss Carder: Didn't someone warn you about lake goblins or something, Vee?

Vee Barlett: Been waitin' to go there.

Vee Barlett: Sirens or selkies or both or neither but guess I'm gonna find out.

Britta Hareide: Oh we have both kinds

Country and Western

Vee Barlett: Friendly or not?

Lirtimya: Since there isn't anything up here for me I may go with you Vee

Britta Hareide: They are not always easy to tell the difference

Temperance: hums and continues to scribble some notes about "Sirens and Selkies...and Others?"

Vee Barlett: Tell the difference between 'em or if they're friendly or not?

Britta Hareide: Both

Vee Barlett: Mkay, well, that'll be fun to find out.

Vee Barlett: Right, Lirt?

Britta Hareide: I will see you at dinner tonight

wyjyoon (Temperance): *mentally counts spell slots*

Vee Barlett: salutes

Temperance: waves her writing implement in the air

Vera Rindborg: Cautiously peeks into the room

Lirtimya: yes it will Vee

Young girl maybe 10 years old

Vera Rindborg: You are the adventurers

asking timidly

Rothuss Carder: looks around to see who will take lead on this one.

Temperance: glances up from her scribbling to notice the girl's voice.

Vee Barlett: Sure. Who you?

Vera Rindborg: I am Vera

Vera Rindborg: Vera Rindborg

Vee Barlett: Oh, hey, so was I once!

Vera Rindborg: You were a Vera?

Rothuss Carder: leans back and takes another swallow from his definitely not-drugged drink.

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Vee's backstory uncovered

Vee Barlett: Yar. Been a couple years now.

wyjyoon (Temperance): A keeper of many names, she is

Vera Rindborg: Do you change your name a lot when you are an adventurer?

Vee Barlett: I didn't mind Vera. Maybe add it to the list for comin' up change...

Vee Barlett: Nah, ain't an adventurer thing. Just a me thing. I got my reasons.

Vera Rindborg: Oh

Vera Rindborg: But you are adventurers?

Vee Barlett: I'm a sailor so guess so.

Vera Rindborg: Do you have a ship

Vee Barlett: I don't wanna talk 'bout it.

Vera Rindborg: Oh sorry, i know we are not supposed to talk about when they fly in

Vera Rindborg: But I thought you were adventurers

Vera Rindborg: and if you are on a ship

Vera Rindborg: then

Vera Rindborg: but I am

Vera Rindborg: well

Vera Rindborg: I want to be an adventurer

Vee Barlett: raises brow

Vee Barlett: Wait wait go back, talk about what?

Vee Barlett: Then we can give ya stories. Rothuss here think he good at them.

Vera Rindborg: Being an adventuer?

Rothuss Carder: chuckles quietly.

Vee Barlett: No when who fly in.

Vera Rindborg: The ships

Vee Barlett: Why they come here?

Temperance: raises a curious eyebrow.

Vera Rindborg: They come over the mountain and stop at the lake

Levi Reed: How old are you, kid?

Vee Barlett: Fly or sail?

Vera Rindborg: I am TEN, I know, I was told I was eight, and then I counted two summers so I am ten

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): We look up and see Zepplins over the mountain lol

Levi Reed: Sorry sweetheart, your blood is a bit too young to be on my conscience

Vee Barlett: Well if ya don't start bleedin' in two more summers, they may be right and you is eight.

Vera Rindborg: Ships sail to fly? isn't that how it works?

Vera Rindborg: No no that was two summer ago they told me so I know I am ten

Vee Barlett: Not normally. A good ship stays on the water.

Levi Reed: Yeah, adventuring is rough. I'm not endangering a ten year old

Vee Barlett: She ain't say she wants to come with us, just hear about it.

Vee Barlett: Tell her a story, Roth.

Levi Reed: Oh, good

Levi Reed: Yes, do your thing Rothuss

Vera Rindborg: I want to be an adventurer when I grow up

Vee Barlett: Why?

Levi Reed: A noble ambition!

Rothuss Carder: waits his turn.

Vera Rindborg: It is boring being an investigator

Temperance: How so?

Vee Barlett: Oh, you part of the church? My condolences.

Vera Rindborg: You watch people

Vera Rindborg: You track things

Vera Rindborg: you look at things

Levi Reed: When you're an adventurer, you get to take stuff from the bad guys and keep it for the good guys. We're basically serving justice

Vera Rindborg: you test things

Vera Rindborg: See that sounds fun

Lirtimya: Not gonna pop her bubble of adventuring being a way to get away from investigation

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

Levi Reed: We just came from a cave where they were trying to change people into plants. We took some good stuff from those bad guys, including some people!

Vee Barlett: Investigators can be adventurers. My new sis was one. Is one? Wherever she be at.

Levi Reed: looks at Thuskarr

Vera Rindborg: You took people?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (not sure if he's here anymore or if we loose him after this)

Vera Rindborg: Isn't that bad?

Levi Reed: I mean, not to keep. But we took them out of the cave and gave them back to themselves

Rothuss Carder: 'Rescued' is the word

Vee Barlett: keeps mouth shut

Rothuss Carder: *sip*

Lirtimya: I am technically an investigator of sorts, a researcher, but that just means I investigate magic

Vera Rindborg: What kinds of magic?

Vera Rindborg: Like the forest people?

Lirtimya: Ocean magic

Vera Rindborg: That is a long way away

Temperance: quietly continues scribbling notes.

Vera Rindborg: So you think I can be an adventurer?

Lirtimya: Indeed, and it's so vast, way bigger than even this forest

Vera Rindborg: WOW

Temperance: From a personal perspective, I think if you're adaptable to challenges and willing to experience the world, an adventurer isn't... all too bad.

Vera Rindborg: I do not want to be a bad adventurer, I want to be a good adventurer

Vee Barlett: What's a bad one? A dead one?

Rothuss Carder: Always try to be a good whatever-you-are.

Vera Rindborg: She said all too bad

Temperance: Ah, I meant to say it isn't all too bad of a choice.

Vera Rindborg: Umm

Temperance: Whether there are good adventurers or bad ones, I suppose that depends on the choices you make for yourself.

Temperance: shrugs.

Vera Rindborg: Well I guess I will have to learn

Vera Rindborg: They say I have to wait until I am 16 to be an adventuerer

Levi Reed: Yeah there's good and bad everything, and different people have different ideas of what makes something good or bad

Vee Barlett: Huh, really? I was on ships long before I turned 16...

Levi Reed: What do you think a good adventurer would be like?

Levi Reed: That's because your dads aren't as carefu.... stuffy as the church

Vee Barlett: Stuffy about right.

Vera Rindborg: I think a good adventurer finds missing things and brings them back. They have dangerous times and get home in time for dinner

Rothuss Carder: How much supervsion did you have though?

Vee Barlett: sighs

Vee Barlett: I would love to have dinner at home again soon. That'd be nice.

Rothuss Carder: There's a difference between an apprenticeship and just letting 'em free out into the world.

Vee Barlett: Ain't gonna comment on that one.

Levi Reed: I don't think they were teaching Vee adventuring when they were out there with her... they may have called it that

Levi Reed: But yes, dinner at home would be nice

Rothuss Carder: Huh. You know what that job sounds like to me, kiddo? A detective. Or perhaps an investigator.

Lirtimya: I haven't been back at home for dinner in a long time, sometimes you have to give some things up for other things, I haven't even been on my home island in a long time

Vee Barlett: I got lots of teachers includin' teachin' myself. That how it should be done.

Rothuss Carder: Go out, find the missing treasure or bad guy, then go home for dinner.

The date is Lad____de, 3rd Lec (Early Summer), 587 SGR

Young Moon's phase is Last Quarter

Old Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous

The time is 6:53 PM

Vera Rindborg: It is time for dinner

Levi Reed: You tend to rely on the generousity of others for food when you're out adventuring... and some of them... not mentioning any names... are less generous than others and will make you do work in exchange for food

Vera Rindborg: You will be with the Lord

Vee Barlett: What kinda food we eatin'?

Vera Rindborg: Good food

Vee Barlett: Fish? I love me some fresh fish.

Vee Barlett: Ooh or crab?? I hope it be crab.

Vera Rindborg: I don't know what the cooks made today

Levi Reed: Crab this high up in the mountains?

Lirtimya: Tree octopus

Vee Barlett: Hope it ain't moss... bet it moss.

Lirtimya: Chuckles

Vee Barlett: frowns

Temperance: muffles a chuckle.

Vee Barlett: I ain't a fan of eatin' octopi it feels wrong.

GM: You are lead to the great hall

Rothuss Carder: No one likes eating relatives, Vee.

Lirtimya: Stifles a laugh

GM: on benches near the doors are several trestle tables filled with children from very young to almost teens

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I've heard any octopus is smarter than the average bard

Levi Reed: I've heard any octopus is smarter than the average bard

Vee Barlett: Ain't hard to be.

Rothuss Carder: It's possible. I haven't met any average ones yet to tell.

Temperance: observes the tables with the children.

Vee Barlett: You eat goat, Rothuss?

GM: Then there are three sets of tables set perpendicular to those where the staff seem to sit

Levi Reed: Well, at least you got something to aim for

GM: You notice the other two women you spoke with earlier sitting along there

Vee Barlett: snickers

GM: your group is brought up to the front table

Rothuss Carder: Pray tell, just what do you think the primary food source *is* for a village that raises goats?

GM: a long bench where you are facing the rest of the room

Vee Barlett: So you DO eat your relatives.

Rothuss Carder: Potatos?

Lirtimya: Cows, of course

GM: then Lord Snow and his wife come in and sit across from you, facing you with thier backs to the room

Levi Reed: snorts

Vee Barlett: mutters, "This feels fancy for bein' in a mountain."

Rothuss Carder: Nah. We weren't related to that family.

Snow Man: Welcome to my home

Lirtimya: Thank you for having us

Snow Man: I am glad you came

Snow Man: News of the outside world is always helpful

Rothuss Carder: nods graciously in thanks.

Levi Reed: Helpful enough to get out of chores?

Vee Barlett: It stills exists, yeah.

Temperance: offers a lukewarm, polite smile.

Rothuss Carder: Sorry, as you can tell, some of us were raised in the local equivalent of a barn.

Ghost Monkey: Slips inside the door and climbs up towards the rafters

Levi Reed: So... a barn then

Snow Man: You will work your fair share

Rothuss Carder: My sister and I were only raised near one.

Snow Man: I am curious what you are interested in doing to pay for your accomodation and assistance here?

Levi Reed: A donation of gold?

Snow Man: I am not opposed to gold

Rothuss Carder: Part of it appears to be chores. But other than that I haven't heard what you all need.

Levi Reed: How much would you charge for the stay?

Snow Man: Most of our trainees come to us when they are much younger

Vee Barlett: I was told I could go help at the lake or somethin'

Vee Barlett: Whatcha use gold for when you isolated up here?

Snow Man: Ahh yes that would be a nice thing to have assistance with

Snow Man: the villagers can always use a few extra hands

Snow Man: fishing

Snow Man: cleaning the nets

Vee Barlett: Hmm, normal ship work. Fine with me.

Levi Reed: Also I'm decent at hunting and gathering if you want some food foraged

Snow Man: I do not use gold but others like it in exchange for goods

Lirtimya: I'll go with Vee to the lake, if I can be of any assistance there

Temperance: I can assist with any written work, unless I am needed elsewhere.

Rothuss Carder: My sister and I are entertainers by nature. Perhaps that will fill a niche here for a while.

Snow Man: Priestess, do you have any appitude for training?

Levi Reed: Oh yeah, she taught me a bunch about the plant life in the area. She's great at it!

Temperance: I've only had limited experience, but Levi was thus far a great student.

Levi Reed: I mean, for an idiot like me to pick something up that quickly, she's gotta be good

Temperance: Not an idiot if you can learn botany and apply it so quickly.

Snow Man: Perhaps you can examine our children to see if any of them show a propensity for spell use, they may be suitable to send to further training for the church

Temperance: I've... never been around a lot of children, but I will try my best.

Rothuss Carder: No casting Fireball at the kiddies!

Lirtimya: I can help Temperance

Vee Barlett: Ruin the fun, Rothuss.

Temperance: chuckles and shakes her head.

Temperance: Yes, no fireball on the children. Duly noted.

Lirtimya: If she'd like the help that is, right now I don't know where I'll be going

Snow Man: You have offered twice

Snow Man: that seems to be a good sign

Temperance: I'd definitely appreciate help! But feel free to join Vee at the lake if that's where your heart lies.

Lirtimya: I do not mind either way

Levi Reed: Well, unless you have a spell I don't know about, you can only be in one place at a time, so you're going to have to make a choice

Lirtimya: I will decide after everyone has chosen, and see whaat would be best

Snow Man: What are you in search of while you are here? I hear your twins are off for more advanced Investigator training

Rothuss Carder: If that's what you call it. We're meeting your young lady at the Green building in the morning.

Snow Man: Bring extra bandages

Rothuss Carder: That's what they say. Hold on... let's see if I can get this right...

Rothuss Carder: imitating Grete

Rothuss Carder: "Let's see how high you can climb with one hand tied behind your back."

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Voice Mimicry [2] [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 20]

Vee Barlett: Now THAT sounds like a goat.

Rothuss Carder: Smelting the dice down, forging new ones, and giving them a test roll! [10d4+10d6+10d8+10d10+10d12+10d20 = 298]

Vee Barlett: Rude. You think she like a goat??

Snow Man: That does sound like her

Temperance: The lady sounds like a goat?

Levi Reed: Maybe when she's sick or something

Rothuss Carder: sighs.

Lirtimya: Laughing

Snow Man: As in what she talks like

Vee Barlett: Rothuss did when talkin' like her so maybe?

Snow Man: Not what she sounds like

Vee Barlett: Uh huh, smooth recovery there.

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, I think I may be allergic to one of your trees or something.

Lirtimya: You getting a bit rusty with your impressions Rothuss?

Rothuss Carder: Apparently so.

Rothuss Carder: Guess I need to practice more.

Rothuss Carder: You're dumb, you idiot!

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Voice Mimicry [2] [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 5]

Temperance: turns her attention to the Snow Man's wife to try and listen to her over the conversations.

Levi Reed: Ok now THAT was good

Lirtimya: That one was much better

Rothuss Carder: It's easier when it's something you've heard them say many times.

Snow Man [Woodland Creatures]: [Translation] They are trying to understand, those from the water are often unskilled

Snow Man: I am certain that the next few weeks will be interesting

Vee Barlett: SO that yer wife? I hear she a queen or somethin'? How do we address her? Assumin' she can understand us.

Snow Man: Looks at Vee, You will be willing to go out on the lake?

Snow Man: She undertands you quite well

Vee Barlett: Uh, yeah? It's water. why wouldn't I?

Vee Barlett: Oh, then hi, m'am.

Lirtimya: Vee, you should really teach me that language at some point

Snow Man: I do not mean to make this all about our home yet

Snow Man: I want to welcome our guests

Snow Man: tomorrow you will be busy determining what you will do to fit in

Snow Man: tonight you are guests and should enjoy

Vee Barlett: Ok, but I still ain't sure how to address the Lady of the House?

Rothuss Carder: We're honored by your acceptance of us dropping in (mostly) unannounced.

Snow Man: My Lady is sufficient

Vee Barlett: Just tryin' to be polite.

Vee Barlett: Mkay.

Temperance: Is there a way you prefer to be addressed as well?

Rothuss Carder: We actually don't know hardly anyone's name here yet. Are there any you can tell us?

Vee Barlett: Although it makes me sound like a paladin or somethin'.... *shudders*

Snow Man: Lord Snow is quiet enough

Vee Barlett: You really are called Snow? Thought it be an alias?

Lirtimya: Vee the paladin

Temperance: Quite an interesting name. Did you choose it yourself?

Vee Barlett: Vee the stab me.

Levi Reed: Yeah and sorry about the hard time I was giving you back when we first got here. Just looking out for the kid, you know.

Snow Man: It has fit me for many years. I have lived here in the mountains for decades

Vee Barlett: How old are ya?

Blinks at Vee

Snow Man: I am not as old as the mountains

Snow Man: I am older than many trees

Temperance: Then the other people here and the children at the orphanage... has it been long since they spent their days here as well? There's quite a crowd. I didn't expect this many to reside here.

Rothuss Carder: takes another drink.

Snow Man: We never keep anyone past the age of 20

Levi Reed: You kick them out?

Snow Man: All our studnets must make their way into the world by then

Levi Reed: I mean, for sure they should be able to take care of themselves by then, but what if they want to stay here and work for you?

Snow Man: They have to leave to earn that

Vee Barlett: Sounds like yer Pa, Mirnay.

Snow Man: Mirnay left us when she was only 14

Smiles at her

Snow Man: She did quite well

Levi Reed: is slightly rethinking his opinion of the snow man

Vee Barlett: Uh, what? You ain't her Pa?

Snow Man: This is an orphanage

Snow Man: Iam as much a father to many of the children as they see, but never to be their true father

Vee Barlett: So yer last name is (insert her because website giving me trouble)?

User has gone AFK. (JtomTMO)

Snow Man: I prefer Lord Snow, it is easier and less confusing for everyone

Temperance: I suppose you take in these children to teach them skills and help them use it when they leave to try and experience the world?

Vee Barlett: frowns

Vee Barlett: So you don't recognize yer kids unless they work for you?

Levi Reed: grumbles "sounds like MY dad"

Snow Man: I assist the children that come to us to learn skills that will help them in the world, to serve the Church and to make their own way in the world as they see fit

Snow Man: Not one is required to work for us here after they leave

Vee Barlett: Why you not tell us he was yer father, Mirnay?

Avdotya Mirny: I have had two fathers

Avdotya Mirny: I will always honor my time here

Vee Barlett: So he the one we talked about or he the other one?

Avdotya Mirny: My father was a merchant who helped me learn many new skills after I left here

Vee Barlett: Oh, so different pa, got it.

Levi Reed: Were you happy here, Mirny?

Avdotya Mirny: It was a good childhood

Avdotya Mirny: it was hard at times

Avdotya Mirny: I learned good things

Avdotya Mirny: I found out what I was not good at

Snow Man: smiles at Avdotya

Levi Reed: Just as important to know what you're not good at as what you are

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (Aldophis! Found it. IS that Snow or was he agree to a different name?)

wyjyoon (Temperance): (I think Adolphis might've been the merchant father or something)

wyjyoon (Temperance): (But maybe I'm wrong, we met so many NPCs)

GM: Yes Aldophis is her father, and Snow is her father

wyjyoon (Temperance): Which one is her Pa and which one is her dad? :D

GM: grins

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ok got it two different peoole

Snow Man: I am glad that your other priest decided to take his friend to the shrine

Snow Man: it might make them both feel better

Levi Reed: I'm not sure anything makes Jericho feel better

Snow Man: Looks over at Levi, so you are paying for your twins to learn here?

Levi Reed: He's just like that

Levi Reed: Me? Heck no

Snow Man: You are the one who offered gold

Rothuss Carder: chuckles.

Levi Reed: I'm paying for my room and board and maybe a little extra to help you guys out, but the training is their problem

Snow Man: We do not charge anyone to live here in the orphanage

Levi Reed: But like I said... if you need hunting and foraging, I can help with that, too, if it's more useful than gold to you

Snow Man: that would not be fair to those who have a different way of coming here

Vee Barlett: Wait then why am I helpin' at the lake? I mean, I still will because it is TOO DRY HERE. But still.

Vee Barlett: Oh wait, I don't want to live here. Ignore me.

Snow Man: We do not charge, I did not say we do not expect you to work

Snow Man: Everyone here works

Levi Reed: It's just that the last place had me hauling heavy rocks for hours, and the place before that sent us out on a wild orange chase... if there's something a little less stressful I can help you out with, I'm in

Snow Man: Less stressful than rocks and oranges

Levi Reed: The Orange was a man, but yeah

Rothuss Carder: That's ... one way of putting it, I guess.

Levi Reed: He was pretty stressful

Levi Reed: And the rocks were stressful on my back

Levi Reed: I'm too young to be in that kind of pain

Snow Man: You are too young to be in pain over a few rocks and oranges

Levi Reed: You're downplaying how many rocks there were and how annoying the Orange guy was, but yeah

Lirtimya: It took us many days, it's a long story

Snow Man: laughs

Snow Man: Stories can help at the end of the day

Vee Barlett: You only get part of it.

Rothuss Carder: The rocks were part of a landslide that completely blocked access to a church, just to fill in a few details.

Snow Man: Yes I had heard the Church of the Mists had some troubles

Vee Barlett: Yup.

Rothuss Carder: You get the church newletters up here, do you?

Snow Man: Those that care to write to us

Rothuss Carder: nods.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): you can't keep that level of spam out

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Temperance: Did they write to you that they were sending the toddler?

Snow Man: You did bring corespondence with you after all

Rothuss Carder: adds 'mailcarrier' to his resume.

wyjyoon (Temperance): (Oh I guess we're the messengers)

GM: so as dinner ends

Rothuss Carder: As for my sister and I, we'll happily play some entertainment later on, and you can decide on its value towards our costs.

GM: the OOC things that I need to know, I DO know that Ratbone and Rothuss are training in three thief skills each for ... I do not know how many levels...

GM: Each level is one training session

Levi Reed: Rothuss is hit or miss, but Ratbone is a wonderful entertainer

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): for all 3 skills?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): or per skill?

GM: Yes you get to spend up to X number of points per skill each level

GM: on no more than three different skills at once

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): and a session is how many days? 1? 10?

GM: and depending on how many levels you want to train in

GM: Ratbone needs three levels of skill training so that would be three sessions

GM: each session is on average 7 weeks

GM: You can shorten that, by paying more

GM: Paying by gold or favor

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yes please

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): How much do we have to pay to play to get shorter time?

GM: so to fully train her would be 3 times ..... 4 weeks as an example

Master TMO: is there anywhere on site that says what the cost is for training?

GM: The average is 700 gold for 7 weeks

Master TMO: how does anyone ever train anything?

GM: (LINK)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): They loot all the bodies

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): And all the caverns

seyfert (Vee Barlett): by being a rich marquessa dutchess land owner mage

GM: Training is not free. The cost is determined by the teacher and can vary greatly from person to person. All costs will be determined by the DM at the beginning of training. However as an average, the cost is 100 GP per week, so an average training costs 700 GP.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ****countess

Master TMO: Good news everyone! If we completely raided the entire party sheet, we could pay for 1.5 sessions. :)

GM: NPCs train by taking a much longer time and being cheaper and doing lots of favors, being bonded to someone as an apprentice for 5 or 10 years

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So time to decide how much time we want to spend here

Master TMO: The party can just leave us here and come back in a few months and we'll be done.

GM: It is more of a how much/many favors do you want to owe Lord Snow

GM: Spend 4 weeks learning, do a favor come back for more training/learning etc

wyjyoon (Temperance): One day we will find out the real name of Lord Blond Highlights

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Depends on what the favors are

Master TMO: I understand *why* it happens this way, but it always bugs the heck out of me to owe unspecified favors. That's the trope of every Bad Movie Decision ever made with a villain.

GM: You are training up front because that is nicer to the players than doing the favor THEN getting the training

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So let's do the first round, see how bad the favor is, and then decide if we want to do another?

Master TMO: understood

Master TMO: how about Ratbone's Escape NWP?

Master TMO: I believe she would prefer doing that first over the thief skills.

GM: NWP are different training than the thief skills

GM: That can be done

seyfert (Vee Barlett): favors are just new adventures

Master TMO: how long? same as a level of thief skills? or more because it's a 2 slot NWP?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): If there are caves involved in these favors, can we please do them before October?

Master TMO: favors are great when you know and trust the source. ;)

GM: an extra week because of the two slots

GM: LOL with Lemon

Master TMO: so baseline 8 weeks for Escape

seyfert (Vee Barlett): we are young and wild, I don't wanna waste our youth *training*

seyfert (Vee Barlett): especially if we aren't all training at once

seyfert (Vee Barlett): so favors or gold to speed it up

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But this gives Vee 8 weeks to make friends with the selkies/sirens

seyfert (Vee Barlett): we got Tempe trained in 2 weeks

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Not 2 months

seyfert (Vee Barlett): 2 months is ridiculous

Master TMO: At a minimum, enough extra to get her Escape NWP in the same time as 1 session for Rothuss' thief skills, so 7 weeks, unless we bump that up

GM: It is based on the wisdom of the trainer

Master TMO: that way we keep in sync

GM: Priests have high wisdom

GM: and you can reduce that 8 weeks down to 3 or 4 for example

GM: and just know that you are owing a favor for each that is worth getting the training done in half the time

Master TMO: so next question: will we be taking on extra danger, or just extra favors, to bump them both down to 4 weeks?

GM: Your choice

GM: I tend to go for a mixture of both

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Extra favors please, we're still too squishy for extra danger lol

Master TMO: given the amount of danger we've had in just *getting here*... might be worth trying for an extra lower risk favor. ;)

GM: hah

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Plus, as Carissa said, more favors is just more adventure

wyjyoon (Temperance): The favors might include extra danger if the favor is to go out on adventures?

GM: We have an hour to go tonight, I have an event at 8 AM tomorrow

GM: I would like to make sure we know and advance time to the spot where you have finished your first round of trainings

Master TMO: ok, np. I'm game for extra favors in order to bump Ratbone's Escape NWP and 1 level of thief skills for Rothuss in 4 weeks' time. Is the party okay with that?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): half the time is fine

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm fine with pretty much anything

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yep, I'm cool with that too

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Levi's a young man who thinks he has alllll the time in the worrrrrrld

Master TMO: Alternatively, Escape NWP in 8 weeks, and 2 levels for Rothuss. But that keeps us here twice as long.

Master TMO: or many many favors and 8 weeks to also do a level of thief for Ratbone. :D I'd rather just do 4 weeks, I think.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Temp can use the time to find things to learn about, I'm sure.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): he's a contact for future training and/or you owe more favors

GM: Or Escape and 1 level plus 2 levels for Rothuss

GM: See Carissa understands

GM: have you figured out what is happening here with this place?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I just like when we did all training at once so we ALL lost time at once rather than staggered

Master TMO: I said. Fagin. Hopefully a good-aligned Fagin though

seyfert (Vee Barlett): so not a huge fan of doing a full training when it's only two characters, and only one who is very active

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It's a breeding ground for labor for the church

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol pretty much

GM: nods

Master TMO: I've never actually read the book though

Master TMO: I just know enough to get the reference

GM: glad you all understand

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): There is no escape from school loan debt, no teven in D&D

GM: and if you live long enough here on Boreinquin you can come back to hire your toddler for an adventure

GM: See JTom understands

wyjyoon (Temperance): Hopefully by then he'll have a name

Vee Barlett: It.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ooc

GM: Ask Claudius why he did not name him

wyjyoon (Temperance): How do they refer to all the children who come in without names? Or do they come in with names and they just change it to something more fitting?

GM: They are given temporary names that change every so often

Master TMO: 1, 2, 3, 4

GM: and then when the child is old enough to actively choose and keep a name

GM: that is what it is

GM: So yes toddlers might have three names in one day :)

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): so do I when my mom is mad

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and she can't remember which kid I am

GM: grins

wyjyoon (Temperance): I hope they have a good name generator

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol Carissa

GM: Hey Floppy Sword

GM: Get out of that tree Dragging Ear

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): There's this tik tok guy that makes videos about being a dad and the kids for some reason think they get the right to name the next baby whenever it comes along, and the last one they named "bleath targ" so that's what he calls it in the video. "baby bleath targ"

GM: Ok so is anyone else training for something at the time Rat and Roth are?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): not me

wyjyoon (Temperance): Would it be useful to learn dryad / Wildling language?

GM: Other options will appear, just want to make sure if you have something that fits the orphanage

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Levi wants to learn knives eventually, but I don't think he wants to learn it here

Master TMO: ok, to confirm with the group (since I threw a couple other options out at the last minute just to confuse everyone), we're going for 4 weeks of training for Rothuss and Ratbone, with extra favors for the accelerated speed?

GM: Yes that is what I have TMO

GM: and he can learn it here Lemon, it is the same as learning it anywhere

GM: They can teach you throwing knives here very easily

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah but then that's more favors for this guy and meh

seyfert (Vee Barlett): he might learn it from a student rather than snow

Master TMO: Escape NWP for her, thief skills for Rothuss. And I will figure out the points distribution this week.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'll save my favor owage for the next big group training

GM: Snow has not offered to actually teach anyone, just to make sure you learn

Master TMO: if we're spending the time here, take advantage of it if there's something you can learn

GM: You will be clicking off four weeks, doing a favor, clicking off more weeks for more thief skills most likely (and other training) then doing another favor

Master TMO: so long as I learn, it can be from the janitor

seyfert (Vee Barlett): we'll owe favors regardless so might as well

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): singing "I just want, anyyyyybody else, when I think about Snow I vomit on mysellllf"

GM: LOL

wyjyoon (Temperance): So how do languages between species work? Is it the same as a language NWP? Or is it just something different altogether?

Master TMO: the advantage for thief skills is that we *can* train ourselves. It's just slow. But it doesn't hold the whole group up for months at a time.

GM: the NWP of modern language

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok, cool. I didn't get to read about that NWP in detail yet. Does it take up more than one slot?

GM: 1 per language

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Besides, Levi made a big deal about not wanting anything from this guy, he has too much stupid pride to back down now

seyfert (Vee Barlett): it fine, maybe you'll discover a different NWP you'll want down the road

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): AND I kind of want to keep it open in case something more appealing happens along

seyfert (Vee Barlett): we just won't make a special trip to train JUSt you for it :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): Alright, well... I know Snow Guy said his wife might know the language on the documents we have with us. I was thinking maybe she could learn the language then?

Master TMO: Bob, for the self-training in thief skills, is there any way to speed that up somehow?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): be wiser

GM: All training is based on the wisdom of the trainer, when you are speeding things up you just find someone with a higher wisdom

Master TMO: HAH. So, NO

GM: Or see Carissa

seyfert (Vee Barlett): :)

GM: [d20 = 10]

Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 9) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 11]

Temperance: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 12]

Levi Reed: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 6] [d20 = 20]

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

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Well, at least Levi is still the dumbest

GM: least wise

Rothuss Carder: uh huh. I see the difference between the targets

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): potato potatoh

Parry the Mule: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 14]

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): LOL

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I made him dumb on purpose, stop trying to make him look better

GM: laughs

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Parry has a higher wisdom than Rothuss

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sounds right

Rothuss Carder: Wisdom is not anti-dumb

seyfert (Vee Barlett): no but he might be both...

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol

The date is Lad____tre, 12th Ze (Summer), 587 SGR

Young Moon's phase is Last Quarter

Old Moon's phase is Morning Crescent

GM: Just over a month later

GM: Temperance can roll a d12

Temperance: [d12 = 6]

seyfert (Vee Barlett): did vee make any friends in the lake??

GM: There are 6 youngsters that look to have the ability to learn spell casting

GM: Lirt can roll a d6

Lirtimya: [d6 = 6]

GM: for how many are mages

seyfert (Vee Barlett): LOL

seyfert (Vee Barlett): all of them

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): guess Lirt is helping the mages then

GM: Is Lirt a trainer?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): she was going to help Tempe with them is all I know

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Guess she is now

GM: And Lirt's wisdom is?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I don't know if she is or not

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): 14

wyjyoon (Temperance): Just realizing that my day job is to teach youngsters and now I get to do the same in game

GM: So it will take Lirt 5 weeks to train someone in how to cast spells

GM: Well sorry Wendy, JTom is putting you out of a job

wyjyoon (Temperance): Thank you JTom :D

wyjyoon (Temperance): Givin me a break from these kiddos

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): I've lost enough marbles already

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): lol

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Well, at least they'll have mages out here now

GM: So IF Lirt agrees to train these 6 young mages in how to do a first level spell (read magic)

Rothuss Carder: that would be 30 weeks?

GM: No he can train multiple people in the same thing at the same time

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I hope she can train multiple at once at 5 weeks

Rothuss Carder: To the Editor: At this point, all of Rothuss is OOC. :D

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Teach them all in a class maybe?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Nah, Lirt is way smarter than Rothuss

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): editor gives you the finger

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): It's one extra week, but I think it's worth it to finish their training

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Or, at least the first step

GM: So Lirt takes the six under her wing

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yes

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): If we're taking an extra week, we can owe slightly less favors

GM: and teaches them over the course of 5 weeks how to start to learn how to cast spells, teaches them how to formulate a Read Magic spell

Rothuss Carder: true that

GM: so in exchange for training 6 of the kids, you have gotten 2 of your people trained in the same time

wyjyoon (Temperance): Nice

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Does it take anything off of our debt for not just the extra week, but the fact I tought six of them to do magic?

GM: That trains Roth and Rat

seyfert (Vee Barlett): nice favor

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Training for Training feels like a fair trade

[0:0/15/4/587] Jilly's Birthday

[0:0/15/4/587] Thistle's Birthday

GM: HAH

seyfert (Vee Barlett): in 5 weeks worth of training for them? wait wait or THIRTY weeks worth??

seyfert (Vee Barlett): or would it be 15 because two of them...

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Happy Birthday, Thistle!!

GM: It is 5 weeks to train the 6 of them

Rothuss Carder: so I guess we owe Lirt some favors

GM: it is 5 weeks to train the two Carder siblings

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Right so Lirt trains 6 for 5 weeks so in exchange we have two and 15 weeks from that because math

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Just let him skip a week of cleaning his room or something :P

GM: you are all even at this point

Rothuss Carder: That sounds acceptable

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): That does not sound acceptable

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Rothuss Carder: and Rothuss and Ratbone can always take sabbaticals up here while the group does something

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yeah yeah I was trying to do math to help you but thats fine too

GM: Talk to me JTom, what do you think is a fair deal?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, but I prefer to play with people who are here, when they're here. Hard to do that if they're off training without everyone else

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Fair deal on what?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): his comment about acceptable I believe was regarding the room cleaning....

GM: For it to be acceptable that Lirt trains 6 kids for five weeks and Rothuss and Ratbone get trained in that five weeks and say that it equals out in favors

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Yeah

GM: Ahh

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sigh, Vee needs to train you up

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Yeah that's equal

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you trained SIX kids and they only train two in return? for the same price/length???

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): We also stayed in their rooms, although we did work that payment off, maybe they owe us now?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): to be fair, the kids might be better behaved

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): LOL

seyfert (Vee Barlett): true

wyjyoon (Temperance): I thought the five weeks was also shortened from however many weeks or months they would regularly take to train?

GM: Correct

seyfert (Vee Barlett): slightly less than half now

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, also I feel like what Rothuss and Ratbone learned is probably more complicated than what the kids were taught? I could be wrong

seyfert (Vee Barlett): but it's fineee, I'm not the mathmotologist here

GM: quote

wyjyoon (Temperance): Noted

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

GM: So we are now in the last week of the middle of summer

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): if it helps any, Rothuss is learning 3 skills, and Ratbone is learning a 2 slot NWP

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Just for Wendy's information, you don't HAVE to post a quote any time they tell you to. YOU are the quote decider now.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hm good point, mathmotologist

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Five for six, about even

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yeah but my quotes are magnificent and should always be quotes

wyjyoon (Temperance): Listen, I might just end up putting up half the story chat if you give me that authority

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): And you have to deal with Rothuss, soo

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol mini

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): No one needs to GIVE you that authority, you already have it

GM: and now you get to decide do we click forward again for more thief skill levels?

GM: and or other training?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): only 5 weeks worth of thief skills, no other training I believe

GM: OR do a favor/adventure and come back

GM: then do the training in case you go up in level and earn more slots

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): unless Vee is *REALLY* enjoying that lake, I can't imagine her agreeing to stay up here another month

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sure the second one

seyfert (Vee Barlett): she will not, correct

seyfert (Vee Barlett): unless she found reason to and I doubt that

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Agreed on the second one

wyjyoon (Temperance): Wait wait- so the 5 weeks of Lirt training 6 children equates to the 5 weeks for Thief skills / Escape NWP. Doing favors / adventures gives more people a chance to learn more or...?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Once we come back from a favor, maybe there will be more people to teach to continue to pay for the skills

wyjyoon (Temperance): My brain lost too many marbles

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): if we go on an adventure, people might level up and need more training

GM: right now Rothuss and Ratbone learned things

GM: Lirt paid for that with his labors

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): HER :P

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Lirt is her, Mini is he

GM: Her

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Think of the training cost like an eclipse. You can't look too closely at it.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, I got that part

GM: sorry

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol lmeon

GM: So now you are about to A) {rejected} skip forward more weeks to do more training then owe more favors or B) {what three said yes to} go off on an adventure and come back for more training after it is done, because you might earn more slots/etc while on the adventure

seyfert (Vee Barlett): this adventure is not a favor adventure, correct?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh I gotcha okay

GM: Correct

GM: BUT you can make it one

seyfert (Vee Barlett): cool then yes, training is boring and I'm over it already

wyjyoon (Temperance): So we go on an adventure, level up, and return for more training, got it

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Sorry that took too long

GM: As in do this now to prepay for training

seyfert (Vee Barlett): no worries to you wendy

Master TMO: so Lord Snow owes *us*.... whee2

GM: exactly

wyjyoon (Temperance): Wheee

seyfert (Vee Barlett): this WAS something we kept saying needed to be figured out... multiple weeks in a row... but we got there - eventually

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok yes, let's do the adventure and come back for training and all that

wyjyoon (Temperance): jazz :D

GM: great

Vee Barlett: jazz hands

GM: So you all go down to the village of Smeditleton

wyjyoon (Temperance): Sme what?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): did you sneeze? blless you

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): That's a fun word to say

GM: It is a small place on the lake where Vee spend a few weeks

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): start the car, I know a whoopee spot where the gin is cold but the piano's hot

seyfert (Vee Barlett): are you guys singing more songs I don't know?

Levi Reed: You don't know CHICAGO!?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Did Vee make friends with the sirens and the selkies?

Levi Reed: oocz

wyjyoon (Temperance): At the lake?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): never actually got to see it, always meant to

Violette Snipes: Welcome back Vee, how are you doing?

Vee Barlett: Always better when I'm here, Violette. Love that name, too.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I... ok, then yes. I'm singing more songs you don't know.

Vee Barlett: I tell ya that already?

Violette Snipes: Warm smile, gives her a kiss

Master TMO: To the Editor: Rothuss is back in IC now

Violette Snipes: Only every other day

Vee Barlett: winks

seyfert (Vee Barlett): welp guess Vee got herself a temperorary girlfriend

Violette Snipes: Told you the fresh water would be as good as salt water

Violette Snipes: Salt is for tears

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Is she related to Wesley, by any chance?

Vee Barlett: Well I ain't still ready to admit that. I like me some salt, but it's close.

wyjyoon (Temperance): People move so fast 'round these parts

Violette Snipes: Don't make me cry again

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Only happy tears.

Vee Barlett: Only happy tears.

Violette Snipes: Smiles

Violette Snipes: I am glad you are back

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (crew with her?0

Vee Barlett: Better here than up there.

Vee Barlett: For many reasons.

Violette Snipes: I managed to get mom to go up to the orphange for the weekend

Vee Barlett: Also better her than me

Violette Snipes: SO we can finally go explore that cave

Violette Snipes: Is that why you brought your friends?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): hahahahah cavessss

wyjyoon (Temperance): Caves before October, at least?

Vee Barlett: You still ain't convinced me. Well, you did kinda, but why did I want to explore it again? Now it daylight and we ain't alone?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): BOB DOES like to torture us

Vee Barlett: Levi heard me muttering about caves. It's his thing.

Violette Snipes: If we can find that pearl it will be amazing

Vee Barlett: The others be bored, I guess.

Master TMO: And who are we to deny him his fun?

Violette Snipes: Can he breathe underwater too?

Master TMO: SO BORED

Vee Barlett: None of them can.

Violette Snipes: OH

Master TMO: whoops, I never logged back in

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (I'm sorry you're bored TMO THE PERSON WHO ISN'T ROTHUSS)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Rothuss Carder: SO BORED

Vee Barlett: I mean, they can hold their breath.

Vee Barlett: Tell them why we want that pearl.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol I thought FGU was bugging for a minute there

Looks at the group

Vee Barlett: nah, just TMO bugging

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ooc

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): nope, it was me that was bugging

Violette Snipes: You will be amazed

Violette Snipes: it is at least two fists wide

Levi Reed: I like being amazed

Temperance: raises a curious eyebrow

Violette Snipes: AND it keeps growing

Vee Barlett: Still in the oyster?

Violette Snipes: We can look but we can't touch

Violette Snipes: Yeap

Levi Reed: Ok but what's it inside of?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol, psychic

Vee Barlett: cracks fingers

Vee Barlett: Time to tickle an oyster.

Lirtimya: I just want to get back in the water, teaching the kids is a good experience, doesn't mean I enjoy it

Violette Snipes: We can harvest the urchins too

Vee Barlett: This my first matey, Violette. She smart.

Violette Snipes: Nice to meet you Matey

Levi Reed: So many of the things that are good for us are deeply unenjoyable

Vee Barlett: Mm, gotta love fresh urchin.

Levi Reed: And on that note, let's get into this cave!

Vee Barlett: Almost better than crab

Lirtimya: Nice to meet you too Violette

Rothuss Carder: Why are there children in the lake?

Vee Barlett: To swim.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lots of NPCs with names that could also possibly be Vee's previous aliases...

seyfert (Vee Barlett): dun dun dunnnnn

Rothuss Carder: How do you harvest children swimming?

Vee Barlett: Toss them back on shore.

GM: and here is where BOB rebuilds the dungeon from a ruined keep into a cave complex for the group to adventure in next week

Lirtimya: Wrong urchins

Rothuss Carder: How many kinds are there?

Vee Barlett: The water kind and the human kind.

Lirtimya: None, urchins, as in spiky balls

Vee Barlett: The water kind tastes good. Ain't a cannibal to know about the human kind.

Rothuss Carder: Spike ball kids?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Only two. Even YOU should be able to keep track of that, Roth

Levi Reed: Only two. Even YOU should be able to keep track of that, Roth

Lirtimya: Facepalm

GM: Lirt notes that Urchins also sometimes have magic spell components

Temperance: looks amused at the conversation going on

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Why would a boy who grew up in a mountain goat village know what an urchin is?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Slightly related, anyone remember koosh balls?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): yes

GM: exactly

Lirtimya: Don't throw the husks and anything you find in urchins away, I may need some things inside of them

Vee Barlett: Spike Ball Kids? That what they call them with that new hairdo? Ain't a huge fan. Too much wax.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): He's been stuck with Vee for like a year now?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I had to Google that, but yes to koosh balls now that I see what they are

Vee Barlett: As long as I can eat them inners, you can keep the rest, Lirt.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Man, those things were disgusting

Lirtimya: Thank you

Vee Barlett: So y'all ready for some swimmin'?

Lirtimya: More than ready

Rothuss Carder: You all are sick, sick people.

Vee Barlett: rolls eyes

Vee Barlett: It's like the goats of the sea, Rothuss.

Vee Barlett: That easier to understand?

Rothuss Carder: And they're called urchins? What idiot came up with that name?

Vee Barlett: Pretty sure they were called urchins first.

Vee Barlett: 'Cause they spiky loners like them street kids are.

GM: Vee does know the plan is to go find the island out in the lake where the cave is supposed to be

Rothuss Carder: That doesn't make any sense.

Rothuss Carder: But I'll roll with it. Language is weird

Vee Barlett: ....well no, 'cause you actually often find urchins together but I was tryin' to make it make sense.

Rothuss Carder: ONWARD!

Vee Barlett: We swimmin' to the island, Violette or usin' a boat?

Rothuss Carder: TO SOMETHING INTERESTING!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (did Vee make a canoe while she was here???)

GM: next week you get to rustle up canoes and such

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): I wanna ride in a vol canoe!

GM: We will find out next week if she was sucuessful

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ...........she had five weeks of it so I hope so

GM: etc

seyfert (Vee Barlett): that's like... 30 rolls or something!

GM: She might have been too distracted

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hmm okay so 15 weeks!

GM: On a Snipe hunt

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oh, wait! Levi wants to use his crude weaponmaking to make arrows for him and Temperance during the 5 weeks please

seyfert (Vee Barlett): mathmologist!!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ooh more arrows would be nice

seyfert (Vee Barlett): you can make stone knives and daggers too for throwing if you have time....

GM: and Vee can replace her second trident

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ok, I want to do that too

seyfert (Vee Barlett): replace it with what??

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): So we're full on arrows now?

GM: so she has two again

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): 5 weeks = 45 days

seyfert (Vee Barlett): oh got it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): there were already two in her inventory....

'Vee Barlett' is at 'Light' encumbrance. Movebase now 9.

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): +1 or +2, depending on month starts

GM: We will do the math over the week or beginning next week and make the proficiency checks for it

'Vee Barlett' is at 'Moderate' encumbrance. Movebase now 6.

'Vee Barlett' is at 'Light' encumbrance. Movebase now 9.

Vee Barlett: hands Rothuss three torches she doesn't want to carry

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): By "we" you better mean TMO and you because...

Rothuss Carder: if only I knew how to juggle.

GM: and can leave food in the hamlet on the lake

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm also not a matheologist

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hey now, sometimes I can math

seyfert (Vee Barlett): sometimes

Vee Barlett: Now is a good time to learn, yeah?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): mathMologist

Rothuss Carder: Depends on how close I am to that lake at the time.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): that extra M is important for reasons

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): That's what YOU'RE not

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm not a matheologist

Vee Barlett: Well maybe don't start with them lit.

Vee Barlett: Although it WOULD be funnier when you fail.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ahh got it

Rothuss Carder: Even unlit, they won't work when wet.

Temperance: Try not to set yourself on fire, please.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But mostly just because I couldn't rememer what you typed and was too lazy to scroll

Rothuss Carder: stashes them away

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Vee Barlett: Glad I can count on you, pack mule.

Rothuss Carder: What? You didn't enjoy patching me up all those weeks of Grete's training?

GM: In the morning... well in the afternoon I will look over everything

GM: have a great night everyone, continue as you desire

seyfert (Vee Barlett): night!

Rothuss Carder: Of course you can, Lazy Captain.

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Goodnight

Vee Barlett: Ain't lazy when I'm savin' yer hide.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Goodnight BOB!

Rothuss Carder: By handing me torches?

Temperance: Nobody likes seeing people fall off things.

Vee Barlett: You carry them so I can shank things better, yeah? Like in the cave when I saved yer hide.

Rothuss Carder: I thought I got rather good at it after a while.

Levi Reed: Actually, most people do like that

Levi Reed: It's hilarious

Temperance: I'm glad you did. It wouldn't do to fall off things forever.

Temperance: Too many spells.

Vee Barlett: I do kinda miss seein' that, but I had fun down here. I'm sure I'll see ya fall plenty later, Rothuss.

Levi Reed: Remember when Jericho kept falling off that ladder over and over?

Levi Reed: Those were good times

Levi Reed: I miss that stick in the mud

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): it probably was pretty showy, as Rothuss has a Tumbling skill of 14

Vee Barlett: Probably why kid went back to the Temple. Realized he got such a bad concussion he needs treatment.

Temperance: Hopefully it'll be more of a calming experience. The caves sure did freak him out.

Vee Barlett: Yeah but Thuskar followed him and... he still freaks him out.

Vee Barlett: Ain't sure what don't freak him out to be honest.

Levi Reed: Thuskar seems like a good dude, I hope he gets over it

Vee Barlett: Of all people to idolize, he chose Jericho.

Vee Barlett: shakes her head confused

Temperance: A bit like young imprinting on their mothers.

Temperance: But perhaps that's just my perspective.

Vee Barlett: Hmm, true. Can't choose our mothers, unfortunately.

Temperance: Wouldn't know much about that.

Rothuss Carder: Could have been worse. Could have been me. Or Vee.

Levi Reed: Wouldn't know much about that??? Did you choose your own mother, Temperance?

Vee Barlett: I've had worse stalkers, but yeah.

Temperance: I never knew my mother, is all. You wouldn't know about something you never had.

Levi Reed: Well, you didn't choose that

Levi Reed: So same thing really

Vee Barlett: Oooh, peas in a pod! I ain't known mine much, neither, but it's for the better, really.

Temperance: I suppose you're right if you put it that way.

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Note for future reference: Rothuss has spent his Rogue skill pts for this last batch of training

Lirtimya: I knew mine, she is kind, haven't seen her in a long time though, and probably won't, we don't have any reason to go to an island so small, it's only 100 or so people

Rothuss Carder: That sounds terrible

Vee Barlett: We got reason if ya ever want, Lirt.

Vee Barlett: What's terrible?

Lirtimya: Nods

Levi Reed: My mom's pretty great. Dad could use some work though

Rothuss Carder: A whole island with only 100 people on it.

Vee Barlett: Agree to both.

Lirtimya: I spent most of my days on the beach being taught, or teaching myself what I could

Levi Reed: I don't know Vee... 100 people isn't that many... you'd be away from people and surrounded by water on all sides, how could you not like that?

Vee Barlett: I don't like people knowin' me.

Lirtimya: It's how I know to cook so well, I'd usually feed myself lunch every day, I'd catch my own lunch as well

Vee Barlett: Now that don't sounds as bad. I don't mind bein' on my own, but I ain't want so few people I can't blend in when I want.

Levi Reed: They wouldn't have to. You'd be a great hermit on the beach

Lirtimya: Everyone knows everyone on that island

Levi Reed: With wild hair, talking to things in the sea that people didn't understand

Levi Reed: They'd think you were a witch or something

Levi Reed: No one would bother you

Temperance: I've been told news travels fast when the community is smaller and close-knit.

Vee Barlett: laugh

Vee Barlett: I'll keep that in mind if I ever retire, yeah?

Lirtimya: News felt like it took two minutes to travel from one end of the island to another

Lirtimya: Then again, it's not very far to travel

Rothuss Carder: Probably didn't have much news, either.

Temperance: recalls that one time the fish-spawn guy called Vee a witch for talking to fish and shakes her head.

Vee Barlett: That's a nightmare. Bad enough what my dads DID know. Glad it was a big city so they didn't hear everythin' I got up to.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol, I thought that said "fish and snakes" and I was like, "Why didn't Vee tell us she was a parseltongue? Very sus"

Lirtimya: We had news on how far the tides were changing, that's how little news there actually was

wyjyoon (Temperance): LOL

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol although there are sea snakes so....

Levi Reed: I'm sure they heard everything

Levi Reed: They have informants everywhere

Vee Barlett: looks at Levi like he grew a second head

Vee Barlett: What nonsense you speakin'?

Temperance: raises an eyebrow.

Levi Reed: You don't remember that time they thought I was trying to court you? Back in the beginning? They knew everything about me for WEEKS

Temperance: raises her second eyebrow.

Vee Barlett: 'Cause they overprotective. Ain;t like they'd be the kind who'd have informants. Who you think they is?

Levi Reed: They told you my small bladder was abnormal and I wasn't fit for giving you children!

Rothuss Carder: waits to see if a third eyebrow goes up

Vee Barlett: laughs

wyjyoon (Temperance): LOL

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): How many eyes does she have?

Vee Barlett: Ain't on them that yer doctor was talkative.

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): 7

seyfert (Vee Barlett): currently at 10

Levi Reed: I'm just saying... if they're overprotective of you, they knew everything they wanted to know about you

wyjyoon (Temperance): Many eyes to see things with lol

Vee Barlett: Sure, sure, but they just normal overprotective dads who ain't got no reason to be able to know more, yeah?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Bibically accurate Temperance

Vee Barlett: looks at him with a slight glare

Levi Reed: If that's what helps you sleep at night, sure

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Vee Barlett: It's what helps you make sure ya wake up in the mornin'.

wyjyoon (Temperance): She's just hiding all her eyes with her curly hair lol

Levi Reed: Hey, I'M not the one spying on you!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): as a curly haired person, this is accurate

Levi Reed: Take out your anger on the apporpriate target please

Levi Reed: Or at least on Rothuss

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): lol

Vee Barlett: Nah, just tellin' ya to be smart 'cause yer dumb too often like now.

Temperance: both eyebrows furrow together as she writes "Levi thinks Vee's fathers-- excuse me, PA and DAD-- have informants???

Lirtimya: Vee, no killing party members while they sleep, at least let them have breakfast first

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (thank you for getting it right! lol)

Rothuss Carder: Yep. Good ol' "Hate-Sink" Rothuss... here to serve....

Vee Barlett: Ain't sayin' it'd be me who did. Also ain't sayin' it ain't gonna be me.

Levi Reed: Having informants doesn't mean they're doing anything wrong

Vee Barlett: Hate Stink? That's about right, too.

Levi Reed: Just means they got money

Vee Barlett: You ain't smooth, neither, pal.

Vee Barlett: Hey Lirt, if I stuff their mouth with boiled eggs before I shank them, that count?

Vee Barlett: Or they gotta swallow first?

Levi Reed: You're always jumping to conclusions, thinking people are out to besmirch your familys SUPER LEGIT business

Levi Reed: It's not always like that

Lirtimya: Hmm, I'll have to read the fine print on the murdering laws

Vee Barlett: You run yer trap too much to make others think that with yer word choice.

Vee Barlett: nods

Vee Barlett: Please do, Lirt. And maybe soon.

Levi Reed: People have one conversation with me and they know I'm stupid, you don't have to worry

Vee Barlett: Well that the first smart thing you've said in... five minutes?

Vee Barlett: A record, actually.

Vee Barlett: usually takes half a day....

Temperance: We already have a high enough chance of getting murdered while travelling, let's not increase that chance.

Vee Barlett: Killjoy.

Temperance: I didn't say you couldn't, I just wanted you to know that people could be killed without getting your hands dirty.

Lirtimya: Air pats Vee on the back

Lirtimya: You can murder some fish later instead of Levi

Vee Barlett: gasps

Vee Barlett: Why would I murder them? Unless I'm hungry, that is??

Lirtimya: That's what I meant

Lirtimya: Sighs

Rothuss Carder: But you know threatening us always gives you an appetite.

Vee Barlett: Oh, hmm, yeah I actually might be hungry. Maybe why I'm a lil' cranky.

Levi Reed: smirks at the fact that Temperance has finally found herself in the line of Vee's fire

seyfert (Vee Barlett): LOL

Vee Barlett: We'll eat before them caves then.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): and on that note, bed? my meds are kicking in

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I would like bed too. I'm still trying to kick whatever illness my little germ factories gave me last week

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): You old people and your drugs, always making you tired

seyfert: LOL wowwww

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean, he's not wrong

wyjyoon (Temperance): Shots fired

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): *ahem* Oldest... and least medicated, right here. :P

seyfert: he isn't but still, lmao

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I'm more medicated than you are TMO lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Yeah yeah, we all know you're a snowflake TMO

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): JTom takes more meds than I do. Isn't that right allergy boy?

seyfert: well then, I'll take my elderly self AND my meds to bed and tell you, GOOD DAY SIR.

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): GOOD DAY!
