Chat Log List - 2024 04 19 - Bear Went Over the Mountain - Formatted - Story
Ratbone Carder: blank look
Rothuss Carder: stretches.
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
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
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: 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: "Sneaks and trickery."
Grete Havrevold: Do you know where you will be assigned?
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.
Ratbone Carder: Back to your question, troubleshooter or investigator? I hadn't meant to specialize.
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.
Rothuss Carder: Work? Very well. What sort of work?
Grete Havrevold: I will ask what tasks need to be done
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
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
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?
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
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.
Britta Hareide: How are you sweeties doing today
BOB Everyone is in the same room
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
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 Mirny 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 must 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.
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?
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 the 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 left 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 octopus 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.
Vee Barlett: Yar. Been a couple years now.
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
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
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.
Vera Rindborg: You took people?
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.
Rothuss Carder: No one likes eating relatives, Vee.
Lirtimya: Stifles a laugh
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.
BOB You are lead to the great hall
BOB on benches near the doors are several trestle tables filled with children from very young to almost teens
BOB Then there are three sets of tables set perpendicular to those where the staff seem to sit
BOB You notice the other two women you spoke with earlier sitting along there
BOB your group is brought up to the front table
BOB a long bench where you are facing the rest of the room
Temperance: observes the tables with the children.
Vee Barlett: You eat goat, Rothuss?
Levi Reed: Well, at least you got something to aim for
Vee Barlett: snickers
Rothuss Carder: Pray tell, just what do you think the primary food source *is* for a village that raises goats?
Vee Barlett: So you DO eat your relatives.
Rothuss Carder: Potatos?
Lirtimya: Cows, of course
Levi Reed: snorts
Vee Barlett: mutters, "This feels fancy for bein' in a mountain."
Rothuss Carder: Nah. We weren't related to that family.
BOB then Lord Snow and his wife come in and sit across from you, facing you with their backs to the room
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.
Lirtimya: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 4]
Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 6]
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 10]
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 what 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.
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.
Wildling 1 : [Translation] You need to learn to live with nature better
Rothuss Carder: *tries Vee's voice*
Levi Reed: Has he ever been anything BUT rusty?
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 : [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.
Vee Barlett : [Translation] Too bad you ain't understandin' this. It's prettier to hear.
Wildling 1 : [Translation] I can understand you which ever language you choose
Vee Barlett: suddenly looks happier
Vee Barlett : [Translation] Well then why you ain't say anything earlier??
Temperance: observes this back and forth between them while quietly scribbling.
Wildling 1 : [Translation] Why should I speak a foriegn language no one else here speaks?
Vee Barlett : [Translation] Who else understands yer tongue besides that dude?
Wildling 1 : [Translation] This one is trying it seems
Snow Man : [Translation] We will give them time, maybe they can be useful
Rothuss Carder: is listening to the tones, trying to memorize the cadence.
Wildling 1 : [Translation] Many of the forest understand me
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
Vee Barlett: Vee the stab me.
Temperance: Quite an interesting name. Did you choose it yourself?
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, Mirny.
Snow Man: Mirny 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: I am 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...?
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, Mirny?
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.
BOB Yes Aldophis is her father, and Snow is her father
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
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.
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.
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.
Levi Reed: Rothuss is hit or miss, but Ratbone is a wonderful entertainer
BOB so as dinner ends
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.
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
BOB Spend 4 weeks learning, do a favor come back for more training/learning etc
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
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
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
Temperance: [d12 = 6]
BOB There are 6 youngsters that look to have the ability to learn spell casting
Lirtimya: [d6 = 6]
BOB for how many are mages
BOB So it will take Lirt 5 weeks to train someone in how to cast spells
BOB So Lirt takes the six under her wing
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
BOB so in exchange for training 6 of the kids, you have gotten 2 of your people trained in the same time
BOB So we are now in the last week of the middle of summer
BOB So you all go down to the village of Smeditleton
BOB It is a small place on the lake where Vee spend a few weeks
Violette Snipes: Welcome back Vee, how are you doing?
Vee Barlett: Always better when I'm here, Violette. Love that name, too.
Vee Barlett: I tell ya that already?
Violette Snipes: Warm smile, gives her a kiss
Violette Snipes: Only every other day
Vee Barlett: winks
Violette Snipes: Told you the fresh water would be as good as salt water
Violette Snipes: Salt is for tears
Vee Barlett: Well I ain't still ready to admit that. I like me some salt, but it's close.
Violette Snipes: Don't make me cry again
Vee Barlett: Only happy tears.
Violette Snipes: Smiles
Violette Snipes: I am glad you are back
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?
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?
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.
Violette Snipes: Can he breathe underwater too?
Vee Barlett: None of them can.
Violette Snipes: OH
Rothuss Carder: SO BORED
Vee Barlett: I mean, they can hold their breath.
Vee Barlett: Tell them why we want that pearl.
Looks at the group
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?
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.
Rothuss Carder: How do you harvest children swimming?
Vee Barlett: Toss them back on shore.
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?
Levi Reed: Only two. Even YOU should be able to keep track of that, Roth
Lirtimya: Facepalm
Temperance: looks amused at the conversation going on
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.
Vee Barlett: As long as I can eat them inners, you can keep the rest, Lirt.
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.
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!
BOB Vee does know the plan is to go find the island out in the lake where the cave is supposed to be
BOB next week you get to rustle up canoes and such
BOB and can leave food in the hamlet on the lake
Vee Barlett: hands Rothuss three torches she doesn't want to carry
Rothuss Carder: if only I knew how to juggle.
Vee Barlett: Now is a good time to learn, yeah?
Rothuss Carder: Depends on how close I am to that lake at the time.
Vee Barlett: Well maybe don't start with them lit.
Vee Barlett: Although it WOULD be funnier when you fail.
Rothuss Carder: Even unlit, they won't work when wet.
Temperance: Try not to set yourself on fire, please.
Rothuss Carder: stashes them away
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?
Rothuss Carder: Of course you can, Lazy Captain.
Vee Barlett: Ain't lazy when I'm savin' yer hide.
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
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.
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 sound 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.
Lirtimya: We had news on how far the tides were changing, that's how little news there actually was
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
Vee Barlett: Ain't on them that yer doctor was talkative.
Levi Reed: I'm just saying... if they're overprotective of you, they knew everything they wanted to know about you
Vee Barlett: Sure, sure, but they just normal overprotective dads who ain't got no reason to be able to know more, yeah?
Vee Barlett: looks at him with a slight glare
Levi Reed: If that's what helps you sleep at night, sure
Vee Barlett: It's what helps you make sure ya wake up in the mornin'.
Levi Reed: Hey, I'M not the one spying on you!
Levi Reed: Take out your anger on the apporpriate target please
Levi Reed: Or at least on Rothuss
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
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
Vee Barlett: We'll eat before them caves then.
