Spring: Hi!
wyjyoon: Hello hello!
TMO: Hallooo!
Spring (Ratbone Carder): :-D
Carissa: it's only 5 after?? how is everyone here already??
Carissa: minus lemon because work
BOB grins
BOB YOu want to get to the bottom of this
TMO: WFH all this week. Actually worked late today and just got back from a McD's run
Carissa: migraine is subsiding, but might need a few more minutes at least before I'm fully here
Carissa: which is fine because I'm not negotiation things :P
Carissa: but I did have a question
TMO: *hands Carissa a pair of soft fuzzy dark sunglasses*
Carissa: Is Thuskar going to follow after one round Jericho to presumably the temple of orange sunsets?
Carissa: Hey, that fuzzy dark thing has a name and it's Orion. And he's keeping my lap warm.
BOB Thuskar is following Jericho yes
TMO: does he have a belt? He must have a belt.
Carissa: *waves bye to Thuskar*
Carissa: that is why I named him Orion!
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Hee!
Carissa: Cat in Black.
BOB I am ready when you are
Carissa: 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.
Carissa (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): give me like 5 mins
BOB No map
User has gone AFK. (Carissa)
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
BOB Who are you waiting for Rthuss?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): the student(s) who Snow Man said could train us.
BOB Ahh
User has gone AFK. (Carissa)
BOB I thought there was going to be more disuccussions with him
BOB But
wyjyoon (Temperance): Wasn't there supposed to be a dinner of some sort?
Spring (Ratbone Carder): He said we have to negotiate with them
TMO (Rothuss Carder): no worries - you tell us the scene, and we'll play it
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)
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?
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.
Spring (Ratbone Carder): I was totally paying attention when they did that. Yes. I surely was.
Spring (Ratbone Carder): and yep OOC
TMO (Rothuss Carder): *pat* *pat* *pat*
Ratbone Carder: Back to your question, troubleshooter or investigator? I hadn't meant to specialize.
BOB 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
BOB Welcome JTom
Rothuss Carder: Work? Very well. What sort of work?
Spring (Ratbone Carder): Hi JTom!
TMO (Rothuss Carder): (Hey son! Congrats on remembering without reminders!!)
Grete Havrevold: I will ask what tasks need to be done
Carissa (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
TMO (Rothuss Carder): why is it I can never succeed at those skills?
Spring (Ratbone Carder): iunno
Spring (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?
Spring (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
Spring (Ratbone Carder): What is character-speak for "I don't have that many slots"?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): (so many...)
TMO (Rothuss Carder): (we both have a couple levels of thief skills that need training as well)
BOB Yes it is mostly thief skill levels to be learning
Spring (Ratbone Carder): okay
Spring (Ratbone Carder): I didn't want climb walls, but whatever
BOB There are several things
BOB All the various bucket of thief skills you can learn
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?
Spring: 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.
Spring: 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.
'Spring' disconnected
BOB Not trying that at all Spring
BOB Ok
BOB I am sorry for anyone feeling they do not have choices
BOB SO I will wait to hear from those remaining
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (vee is not spending her open nwp yet)
TMO (Rothuss Carder): the tightrope for me on this one is trying to talk metagame concepts In Charicter
BOB I am trying to convey that this is someone who can train you in the various thief skills you want
BOB I am not sure how Spring thought that was reducing her agency to pick what skills to increase
TMO: Released him just so I don't have to remember to keep hitting Alt. ;)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): story chat person thanks you
TMO: ooc talk: Grete here can only teach us thief skills, right?
TMO: Is there someone who can teach her Escape?
BOB Yes
BOB NWP are different
BOB Escape Bonds as a Thief Skill fits right in with her training
BOB Read Languages
TMO: that's not a Thief Skill bards get. She's wanting the NWP
BOB Climb Walls
BOB etc
'Lemon' connected
BOB and yes this is a place for those NWP also
BOB Maybe not this particular person to train you but yes to learning it here
TMO: Good. Rothuss is just looking for thief skills here. For Ratbone, ideally, whatever Thief skill pts she needs, plus the NWP
Lemon (Levi Reed): helloooo
BOB Yes as was indicated last week most NWP except those exclusive to Mage or PRiest
BOB Hello Lemon
TMO: Hi!
wyjyoon (Temperance): Hey Lemon!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): hi lemon!
Lemon (Levi Reed): Where's full size tonight?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, nevermind, I see him
Carissa (Vee Barlett): wut?
Lemon (Levi Reed): because not mini?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh tmo
BOB So Poetry is a yes, Research is a no
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ooooh, someone is going to try and out-poet Levi?
TMO: ok, is Grete going to tell us what the payment is going to be?
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I am here, entered a while ago
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I saw your character lit up, I didn't see Rothuss
BOB She will in the morning, after testing you to see how much training you need
TMO: Good to know it's a She. :)
BOB grins
TMO: ok, I think that's us covered then.
TMO: Rothuss needs to social engineer her name from someone before tomorrow.
BOB I think part of the confusion might be that thief skill training comes every level where NWP are only every 3rd or 4th
BOB so there is lots more thief skill training to accomplish
Lemon (Levi Reed): Too bad Rae isn't here to help push the romance
TMO: Random Rules question: Can Ratbone *learn* the Escape Bonds thief skill to add to her every-level repertoire?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): sad noises
BOB I would say no
TMO: what I figured
TMO: ok, I think that's us taken care of then
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
TMO (Rothuss Carder): still us, or someone else?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Vee : )
BOB Everyone is in the same room
Carissa (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
Lemon (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?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): OOC: Lirt can NOT learn Research here, because it's a Mage NWP, correct?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): just to confirm what I've told him
BOB Correct
BOB BUT that does not mean she is not going to learn it, just not from this facility
BOB 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
Lemon (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?
Carissa (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.
BOB You are lead to the great hall
Rothuss Carder: No one likes eating relatives, Vee.
Lirtimya: Stifles a laugh
BOB on benches near the doors are several trestle tables filled with children from very young to almost teens
Lemon (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?
BOB 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
BOB You notice the other two women you spoke with earlier sitting along there
Vee Barlett: snickers
BOB 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?
BOB 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
BOB 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: [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.

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?

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
Carissa (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)
BOB Yes Aldophis is her father, and Snow is her father
wyjyoon (Temperance): Which one is her Pa and which one is her dad? :D
BOB grins
Carissa (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.
Lemon (Levi Reed): you can't keep that level of spam out
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): lol
Carissa (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)
BOB 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.
BOB 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...
BOB Each level is one training session
Levi Reed: Rothuss is hit or miss, but Ratbone is a wonderful entertainer
TMO (Rothuss Carder): for all 3 skills?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): or per skill?
BOB Yes you get to spend up to X number of points per skill each level
BOB on no more than three different skills at once
TMO (Rothuss Carder): and a session is how many days? 1? 10?
BOB and depending on how many levels you want to train in
BOB Ratbone needs three levels of skill training so that would be three sessions
BOB each session is on average 7 weeks
BOB You can shorten that, by paying more
BOB Paying by gold or favor
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes please
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): How much do we have to pay to play to get shorter time?
BOB so to fully train her would be 3 times ..... 4 weeks as an example
TMO: is there anywhere on site that says what the cost is for training?
BOB The average is 700 gold for 7 weeks
TMO: how does anyone ever train anything?
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki-old/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Training">(LINK)</a>
Lemon (Levi Reed): They loot all the bodies
Lemon (Levi Reed): And all the caverns
Carissa (Vee Barlett): by being a rich marquessa dutchess land owner mage
BOB 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.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ****countess
TMO: Good news everyone! If we completely raided the entire party sheet, we could pay for 1.5 sessions. :)
BOB 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
Lemon (Levi Reed): So time to decide how much time we want to spend here
TMO: The party can just leave us here and come back in a few months and we'll be done.
BOB It is more of a how much/many favors do you want to owe Lord Snow
BOB 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
Lemon (Levi Reed): Depends on what the favors are
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.
BOB You are training up front because that is nicer to the players than doing the favor THEN getting the training
Lemon (Levi Reed): So let's do the first round, see how bad the favor is, and then decide if we want to do another?
TMO: understood
TMO: how about Ratbone's Escape NWP?
TMO: I believe she would prefer doing that first over the thief skills.
BOB NWP are different training than the thief skills
BOB That can be done
Carissa (Vee Barlett): favors are just new adventures
TMO: how long? same as a level of thief skills? or more because it's a 2 slot NWP?
Lemon (Levi Reed): If there are caves involved in these favors, can we please do them before October?
TMO: favors are great when you know and trust the source. ;)
BOB an extra week because of the two slots
BOB LOL with Lemon
TMO: so baseline 8 weeks for Escape
Carissa (Vee Barlett): we are young and wild, I don't wanna waste our youth *training*
Carissa (Vee Barlett): especially if we aren't all training at once
Carissa (Vee Barlett): so favors or gold to speed it up
Lemon (Levi Reed): But this gives Vee 8 weeks to make friends with the selkies/sirens
Carissa (Vee Barlett): we got Tempe trained in 2 weeks
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Not 2 months
Carissa (Vee Barlett): 2 months is ridiculous
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
BOB It is based on the wisdom of the trainer
TMO: that way we keep in sync
BOB Priests have high wisdom
BOB and you can reduce that 8 weeks down to 3 or 4 for example
BOB and just know that you are owing a favor for each that is worth getting the training done in half the time
TMO: so next question: will we be taking on extra danger, or just extra favors, to bump them both down to 4 weeks?
BOB Your choice
BOB I tend to go for a mixture of both
Lemon (Levi Reed): Extra favors please, we're still too squishy for extra danger lol
TMO: given the amount of danger we've had in just *getting here*... might be worth trying for an extra lower risk favor. ;)
BOB hah
Lemon (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?
BOB We have an hour to go tonight, I have an event at 8 AM tomorrow
BOB I would like to make sure we know and advance time to the spot where you have finished your first round of trainings
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?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): half the time is fine
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm fine with pretty much anything
wyjyoon (Temperance): Yep, I'm cool with that too
Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi's a young man who thinks he has alllll the time in the worrrrrrld
TMO: Alternatively, Escape NWP in 8 weeks, and 2 levels for Rothuss. But that keeps us here twice as long.
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.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): he's a contact for future training and/or you owe more favors
BOB Or Escape and 1 level plus 2 levels for Rothuss
BOB See Carissa understands
BOB have you figured out what is happening here with this place?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I just like when we did all training at once so we ALL lost time at once rather than staggered
TMO: I said. Fagin. Hopefully a good-aligned Fagin though
Carissa (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
Lemon (Levi Reed): It's a breeding ground for labor for the church
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol pretty much
BOB nods
TMO: I've never actually read the book though
TMO: I just know enough to get the reference
BOB glad you all understand
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): There is no escape from school loan debt, no teven in D&D
BOB and if you live long enough here on Boreinquin you can come back to hire your toddler for an adventure
BOB See JTom understands
wyjyoon (Temperance): Hopefully by then he'll have a name
Vee Barlett: It.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooc
BOB 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?
BOB They are given temporary names that change every so often
TMO: 1, 2, 3, 4
BOB and then when the child is old enough to actively choose and keep a name
BOB that is what it is
BOB So yes toddlers might have three names in one day :)
Lemon (Levi Reed): lol
Carissa (Vee Barlett): so do I when my mom is mad
Carissa (Vee Barlett): and she can't remember which kid I am
BOB grins
wyjyoon (Temperance): I hope they have a good name generator
wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol Carissa
BOB Hey Floppy Sword
BOB Get out of that tree Dragging Ear
Lemon (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"
BOB Ok so is anyone else training for something at the time Rat and Roth are?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): not me
wyjyoon (Temperance): Would it be useful to learn dryad / Wildling language?
BOB Other options will appear, just want to make sure if you have something that fits the orphanage
Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi wants to learn knives eventually, but I don't think he wants to learn it here
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?
BOB Yes that is what I have TMO
BOB and he can learn it here Lemon, it is the same as learning it anywhere
BOB They can teach you throwing knives here very easily
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah but then that's more favors for this guy and meh
Carissa (Vee Barlett): he might learn it from a student rather than snow
TMO: Escape NWP for her, thief skills for Rothuss. And I will figure out the points distribution this week.
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'll save my favor owage for the next big group training
BOB Snow has not offered to actually teach anyone, just to make sure you learn
TMO: if we're spending the time here, take advantage of it if there's something you can learn
BOB 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
TMO: so long as I learn, it can be from the janitor
Carissa (Vee Barlett): we'll owe favors regardless so might as well
Lemon (Levi Reed): singing "I just want, anyyyyybody else, when I think about Snow I vomit on mysellllf"
BOB 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?
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.
BOB 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?
BOB 1 per language
Lemon (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): it fine, maybe you'll discover a different NWP you'll want down the road
Lemon (Levi Reed): AND I kind of want to keep it open in case something more appealing happens along
Carissa (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?
TMO: Bob, for the self-training in thief skills, is there any way to speed that up somehow?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): be wiser
BOB All training is based on the wisdom of the trainer, when you are speeding things up you just find someone with a higher wisdom
TMO: HAH. So, NO
BOB Or see Carissa
Carissa (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]
Lemon (Levi Reed): Well, at least Levi is still the dumbest
BOB least wise
Rothuss Carder: uh huh. I see the difference between the targets
Lemon (Levi Reed): potato potatoh
Parry the Mule: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 14]
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): LOL
Lemon (Levi Reed): I made him dumb on purpose, stop trying to make him look better
BOB laughs
wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Parry has a higher wisdom than Rothuss
Carissa (Vee Barlett): sounds right
Rothuss Carder: Wisdom is not anti-dumb
Carissa (Vee Barlett): no but he might be both...
Lemon (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
BOB Just over a month later
BOB Temperance can roll a d12
Temperance: [d12 = 6]
Carissa (Vee Barlett): did vee make any friends in the lake??
BOB There are 6 youngsters that look to have the ability to learn spell casting
BOB Lirt can roll a d6
Lirtimya: [d6 = 6]
BOB for how many are mages
Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL
Carissa (Vee Barlett): all of them
wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol
Carissa (Vee Barlett): guess Lirt is helping the mages then
BOB Is Lirt a trainer?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): she was going to help Tempe with them is all I know
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Guess she is now
BOB And Lirt's wisdom is?
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
BOB So it will take Lirt 5 weeks to train someone in how to cast spells
BOB 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
Carissa (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
BOB 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?
BOB No he can train multiple people in the same thing at the same time
Carissa (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?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Nah, Lirt is way smarter than Rothuss
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
TMO (Rothuss Carder): lol
Carissa (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
BOB So Lirt takes the six under her wing
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes
Lemon (Levi Reed): If we're taking an extra week, we can owe slightly less favors
BOB 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
BOB 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?
BOB That trains Roth and Rat
Carissa (Vee Barlett): nice favor
Lemon (Levi Reed): Training for Training feels like a fair trade
<font color="#000000">[0:0/15/4/587] Jilly's Birthday
<font color="#000000">[0:0/15/4/587] Thistle's Birthday
BOB HAH
Carissa (Vee Barlett): in 5 weeks worth of training for them? wait wait or THIRTY weeks worth??
Carissa (Vee Barlett): or would it be 15 because two of them...
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Happy Birthday, Thistle!!
BOB It is 5 weeks to train the 6 of them
Rothuss Carder: so I guess we owe Lirt some favors
BOB it is 5 weeks to train the two Carder siblings
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Right so Lirt trains 6 for 5 weeks so in exchange we have two and 15 weeks from that because math
Lemon (Levi Reed): Just let him skip a week of cleaning his room or something :P
BOB you are all even at this point
Rothuss Carder: That sounds acceptable
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): That does not sound acceptable
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
Rothuss Carder: and Rothuss and Ratbone can always take sabbaticals up here while the group does something
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yeah yeah I was trying to do math to help you but thats fine too
BOB Talk to me JTom, what do you think is a fair deal?
Lemon (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?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): his comment about acceptable I believe was regarding the room cleaning....
BOB 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
BOB Ahh
Carissa (Vee Barlett): sigh, Vee needs to train you up
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Yeah that's equal
Carissa (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?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): to be fair, the kids might be better behaved
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): LOL
Carissa (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?
BOB Correct
Carissa (Vee Barlett): slightly less than half now
Lemon (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): but it's fineee, I'm not the mathmotologist here
BOB quote
wyjyoon (Temperance): Noted
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
BOB So we are now in the last week of the middle of summer
TMO (Rothuss Carder): if it helps any, Rothuss is learning 3 skills, and Ratbone is learning a 2 slot NWP
Lemon (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.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): hm good point, mathmotologist
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Five for six, about even
Carissa (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol mini
Lemon (Levi Reed): No one needs to GIVE you that authority, you already have it
BOB and now you get to decide do we click forward again for more thief skill levels?
BOB and or other training?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): only 5 weeks worth of thief skills, no other training I believe
BOB OR do a favor/adventure and come back
BOB then do the training in case you go up in level and earn more slots
TMO (Rothuss Carder): unless Vee is *REALLY* enjoying that lake, I can't imagine her agreeing to stay up here another month
Carissa (Vee Barlett): sure the second one
Carissa (Vee Barlett): she will not, correct
Carissa (Vee Barlett): unless she found reason to and I doubt that
Lemon (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
TMO (Rothuss Carder): if we go on an adventure, people might level up and need more training
BOB right now Rothuss and Ratbone learned things
BOB Lirt paid for that with his labors
TMO (Rothuss Carder): HER :P
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Lirt is her, Mini is he
BOB Her
Lemon (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
BOB sorry
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol lmeon
BOB 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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): this adventure is not a favor adventure, correct?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh I gotcha okay
BOB Correct
BOB BUT you can make it one
Carissa (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
BOB As in do this now to prepay for training
Carissa (Vee Barlett): no worries to you wendy
TMO: so Lord Snow owes *us*.... whee2
BOB exactly
wyjyoon (Temperance): Wheee
Carissa (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
BOB great
Vee Barlett: jazz hands
BOB So you all go down to the village of Smeditleton
wyjyoon (Temperance): Sme what?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): did you sneeze? blless you
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): That's a fun word to say
BOB It is a small place on the lake where Vee spend a few weeks
Lemon (Levi Reed): start the car, I know a whoopee spot where the gin is cold but the piano's hot
Carissa (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?
Carissa (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.
Lemon (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
TMO: To the Editor: Rothuss is back in IC now
Violette Snipes: Only every other day
Vee Barlett: winks
Carissa (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
Lemon (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Only happy tears.
Vee Barlett: Only happy tears.
Violette Snipes: Smiles
Violette Snipes: I am glad you are back
Carissa (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?
Lemon (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?
Lemon (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.
TMO: And who are we to deny him his fun?
Violette Snipes: Can he breathe underwater too?
TMO: SO BORED
Vee Barlett: None of them can.
Violette Snipes: OH
TMO: whoops, I never logged back in
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (I'm sorry you're bored TMO THE PERSON WHO ISN'T ROTHUSS)
Carissa (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooc
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?
Lemon (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...
Carissa (Vee Barlett): dun dun dunnnnn
Rothuss Carder: How do you harvest children swimming?
Vee Barlett: Toss them back on shore.
BOB 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?
Lemon (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
BOB Lirt notes that Urchins also sometimes have magic spell components
Temperance: looks amused at the conversation going on
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Why would a boy who grew up in a mountain goat village know what an urchin is?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Slightly related, anyone remember koosh balls?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): yes
BOB 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.
Lemon (Levi Reed): He's been stuck with Vee for like a year now?
Carissa (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.
Lemon (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.
BOB 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!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (did Vee make a canoe while she was here???)
BOB next week you get to rustle up canoes and such
TMO (Rothuss Carder): I wanna ride in a vol canoe!
BOB We will find out next week if she was sucuessful
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ...........she had five weeks of it so I hope so
BOB etc
Carissa (Vee Barlett): that's like... 30 rolls or something!
BOB She might have been too distracted
Carissa (Vee Barlett): hmm okay so 15 weeks!
BOB On a Snipe hunt
Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, wait! Levi wants to use his crude weaponmaking to make arrows for him and Temperance during the 5 weeks please
Carissa (Vee Barlett): mathmologist!!
wyjyoon (Temperance): Ooh more arrows would be nice
Carissa (Vee Barlett): you can make stone knives and daggers too for throwing if you have time....
BOB and Vee can replace her second trident
Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok, I want to do that too
Carissa (Vee Barlett): replace it with what??
Lemon (Levi Reed): So we're full on arrows now?
BOB so she has two again
TMO (Rothuss Carder): 5 weeks = 45 days
Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh got it
Carissa (Vee Barlett): there were already two in her inventory....
'Vee Barlett' is at 'Light' encumbrance. Movebase now 9.
TMO (Rothuss Carder): +1 or +2, depending on month starts
BOB 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
Lemon (Levi Reed): By "we" you better mean TMO and you because...
Rothuss Carder: if only I knew how to juggle.
BOB and can leave food in the hamlet on the lake
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm also not a matheologist
Carissa (Vee Barlett): hey now, sometimes I can math
Carissa (Vee Barlett): sometimes
Vee Barlett: Now is a good time to learn, yeah?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): mathMologist
Rothuss Carder: Depends on how close I am to that lake at the time.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): that extra M is important for reasons
Lemon (Levi Reed): That's what YOU'RE not
Lemon (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.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ahh got it
Rothuss Carder: Even unlit, they won't work when wet.
Temperance: Try not to set yourself on fire, please.
Lemon (Levi Reed): But mostly just because I couldn't rememer what you typed and was too lazy to scroll
Rothuss Carder: stashes them away
Carissa (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?
BOB In the morning... well in the afternoon I will look over everything
BOB have a great night everyone, continue as you desire
Carissa (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.
Lemon (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
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.
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.
Lemon (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
Carissa (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
Carissa (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
Carissa (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!
Carissa (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
Carissa (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
Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL
Vee Barlett: We'll eat before them caves then.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): and on that note, bed? my meds are kicking in

TMO (Rothuss Carder): JTom takes more meds than I do. Isn't that right allergy boy?
Carissa: well then, I'll take my elderly self AND my meds to bed and tell you, GOOD DAY SIR.
