Vee Barlett: but why only TMO? are you playing favorites?? :P

TMO (Rothuss Carder): ...yay?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hi lemon!

BOB Yes

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Hello Lemon

Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL

TMO (Rothuss Carder): We all know I'm the favorite! What we don't know is Why?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): at least you admitted it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): because you can mat

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and math even

Lemon (Levi Reed): Hello!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Mathmotologists band together

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I think he's the real deal a... mathmetician... or however it's spelled!

Lemon (Levi Reed): How many arrows did I make?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): As a mathmotologist, I don't do spelling

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the number it takes to get to the center of a toosie roll pop so a lot

BOB BRb refilling and while i am gone Levi will make a proficiency check

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ooo Tootsie Roll Pops

wyjyoon (Temperance): Also do we know if that strange Ghost Monkey is still with us?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Just kinda remembered

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Weaponsmithing, Crude [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 11) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 8]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we'll find out

BOB back

BOB So Levi has created 7 per day every other day (as he did do work for the Orphage also) so 126 crude arrows

Lemon (Levi Reed): Can I even carry that many?

BOB He has no way to carry that many but he amassed a nice pile

BOB He can carry 12

Lemon (Levi Reed): Lol, ok, then I'm just going to tell everyone to fill up your arrows and the rest is a gift to the church, I guess

BOB Exactly

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Just got quad YouTibe ads, didn't know that was a thing

Lemon (Levi Reed): So whoever can use arrows (Temperance for sure, anyone else?) go ahead and fill your arrows

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we have an extra quiver so someone can carry extra for you...

Lemon (Levi Reed): Who wants to carry extra!?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the afk pack mule, duh

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I can volunteer him when he's afk so I am

Lemon (Levi Reed): Rothuss?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): si

wyjyoon (Temperance): Don't we also have a mule?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Fantastic. Rothuss, add a quiver and fill it

BOB You did not bring Parry with you

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, ok

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I think I'm near encumbrance, but let me check

Carissa (Vee Barlett): sorry the ass not the mule

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't mind carrying the extras for a bit

BOB LOL

Lemon (Levi Reed): Wait, my inventory says both "currency" and "coins" and they are the same weight... should those both be there?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): that didn't put me over limit

BOB Yes?

BOB I am experimenting with a new extension for inventory and such

Lemon (Levi Reed): What other "currency" do I have?

Lemon (Levi Reed): It's like 3 pounds!

wyjyoon (Temperance): On the note of inventory, I also still have a warhammer in mine. If I recall correctly, I shouldn't have it anymore

Carissa (Vee Barlett): levi was or wasn't able to make a crude one? I don't remember

wyjyoon (Temperance): Did he? I don't remember either

wyjyoon (Temperance): I thought it was supposed to not be there after one time of spell use

BOB You got a new one here at the church but yes, as you use them you should delete them off your sheet

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh gotcha, I didn't know I got a new one

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooh nice

wyjyoon (Temperance): Love that magically smashing things is an option

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Another quick question, what's the difference between coin and currency?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Is currency like items you can trade?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Or just like paper forms like dollar bills?

BOB Currency should be 4 GP, 12 SP etc and Coins shoudl be 16 coins weight X ammount for you to carry

BOB Zero paper money

TMO (Rothuss Carder): we use that for kindling here

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh okay cool beans

wyjyoon (Temperance): LOL paper for kindling

Lemon (Levi Reed): Nothing about that sentence made sense to me

TMO (Rothuss Carder): no, paper is useful. paper currency is kindling

TMO (Rothuss Carder): if you can't inflict minor wounds by throwing it at someone, it's worthless

Lemon (Levi Reed): Isn't the currency coins?

Lemon (Levi Reed): I don't understand the difference

BOB Coins = weight

BOB Currency is how you pay for things

Lemon (Levi Reed): Then why do they both weigh me down?

BOB Both refer to the physical item but coins weigh the same if they are CP or GP

Carissa (Vee Barlett): why would you make copper as heavy as gold??

BOB They should give you 1 weight, not counted twice but it should show on the sheet twice, once for weight and once for currency

BOB and if all coins are the same size, diameter, weight, etc it makes it very easy to compute coins

Lemon (Levi Reed): Well the weight is counting twice

BOB Then that is a problem, thank you Lemon

Lemon (Levi Reed): I used a calculator and did math like a grownup

BOB smiles

Lemon (Levi Reed): So.... what's next?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Flash Mob Dance!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): dunno, I'm half distracted until 8 but here

wyjyoon (Temperance): Brb

Carissa (Vee Barlett): bob might be fully distract?

BOB I am here

BOB but I have river otters for Vee

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Yay otters

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yay!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh and eventyually boat building check or something

BOB Yes for your canoe that is sitting at the dock there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yay she made one!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so otters or question for violette first? with me taking a few extra seconds to type?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or others can talk to her

TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, I can talk if you want. :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): go for it

Rothuss Carder: So... Violette, was it? Vee's been hiding you from us.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yess get the gossip!!

Violette Snipes: She just wants to keep me to herself

Violette Snipes: I don't blame her

Carissa (Vee Barlett): her avatar IS very pretty to be fair

(bows)

Violette Snipes: Vee has her moments

Rothuss Carder: Good ones?

Violette Snipes: she is very guarded, but when you get her wound up she forgets and then EXPLODES

Rothuss Carder: That's certainly *a* way of describing her. I'm glad you enjoy her company though. What all have you two been up to down here?

Violette Snipes: I live up here, I love having nature around me

Violette Snipes: I cannot wait to bring you down to the lake

Lirtimya: Being on the water after so long will be nice

Rothuss Carder: So what are we here for? Where to?

Rothuss Carder: I really doubt Vee brought us down to introduce you to us.

Levi Reed: Yeah, personally, I would prefer to NOT be on the water, but I guess if that's the only way to the cave...

Violette Snipes: I wanted to bring Vee down to the lake to find the oyster that is rumored to be there with the largest pearl in the world

Violette Snipes: We have to go down river to get there

Violette Snipes: we will go down river

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (ask if she can breath underwater)

Violette Snipes: and when we get to the first lake

Violette Snipes: then we can look for urchins for you

Rothuss Carder: I... am not a deep diver.

Rothuss Carder: I can swim, of course, but I thought pearl divers had to go really really deep?

Rothuss Carder: OH! Urchins! Those are those sea slugs they were talking about.

Levi Reed: How long can you hold your breath for?

Violette Snipes: I can hold my breath for a LONG time

Rothuss Carder: Until I run out of air, I guess. No idea how long that is

Violette Snipes: did you want to test me?

winks

Levi Reed: Like... two minutes? Ten minutes? 20? How long is long?

Laughs delightedly

Levi Reed: Indefinitely?

Levi Reed: Because I'm at like, 2 and a half minutes and I feel like it's pretty good for a human

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ok sorry you have my full attention now

Violette Snipes: I like to think that I can handle my breath enough to make people feel as good as I do

Vee Barlett: Alrighty, y'all. Checked the canoe. It's good to go. Ya ready?

Lirtimya: I am

Temperance: pauses in her scribbling and puts away her notebook.

Vee Barlett: Still ain't as nice as MY canoe, but it'll do.

Levi Reed: I don't know... Violette, do you think we need any special equipment before we head out?

Temperance: It would be nice to be a bit prepared if we can.

Violette Snipes: We are going to be wet

Violette Snipes: Very wet

Vee Barlett: Lookin' forward to that.

Violette Snipes: We are going to go down

Violette Snipes: slippery

Levi Reed: I mean, yeah, that's what happens when you go in the water

Violette Snipes: other than that I cannot help you

Rothuss Carder: Leave anything that shouldn't get wet behind.

Rothuss Carder: I like her. She's my kind of silly.

Levi Reed: I don't have anything that won't be ok once it dries out, so I guess I'm ready

Temperance: shuffles out her notebook and parchment documents.

Temperance: Suppose these'll have to stay, then.

Vee Barlett: You'll need to get 'em a wax case or somethin' one day. surprise you ain't have one if you been on ships before.

Temperance: offers a crooked smile.

Temperance: I'll have to think about that. I haven't on ships or have had that much parchment long enough to need it before.

wyjyoon (Temperance): (would rolling wisdom help with getting insight as to what equipment we might need?)

Levi Reed: Next time we're in a town we can pick one up

Temperance: Yes, I'll have to keep it in mind. It sounds like it'll cost.

Levi Reed: Ehhhh, shouldn't be THAT much

Vee Barlett: Just a day trip to a cave. Ain't like we goin' on a week voyage. Now y'all ready or not? Water waits for no one.

Vee Barlett: goes to hop into the canoe

Levi Reed: After you, Rothuss

Violette Snipes: Reaches out to grab Vee's arm

Lemon (Levi Reed): Just in case he tries to do a fancy tumbling act on the way in and tips the boat over

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): His tumbling acts do be fancy

Vee Barlett: Hmm?

Violette Snipes: We have a problem

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Do I still have those scrolls we looted from the Mushroom Cave Office on me? They're in my inventory.

Vee Barlett: Yeah?

Lirtimya: What's the problem?

Levi Reed: Already? We haven't even left yet

Vee Barlett: One of them yap yer ear off?

Violette Snipes: Well see that cabin on the other side of the river?

Lirtimya: Mhm?

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 8] [d20 = 20]

Vee Barlett: No. What cabin where?

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

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

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

Lirtimya: Yeah? Wha'ts going on with it

Vee Barlett: All I see is beautiful water calling my name...

Violette Snipes: It is ok, I know you have a hard time focusing (tightens up her shirt over her .... ) but over there is a young man who ... is not ready to let us go

Lirtimya: points it out to Vee

Vee Barlett: squints where Lirt points

Levi Reed: Gonna need more info

Vee Barlett: How he plannin' to stop us?

Violette Snipes: There is a family of river otters

Violette Snipes: that lives just down stream

Violette Snipes: he is VERY insistent that we do not disturb them

Vee Barlett: Disturb them how? Ain't gonna do much 'sept maybe say hi to them otters if they be understandin' me.

Violette Snipes: Well I do not know, I think they are blowing this out of porportion

Vee Barlett: So we go talk to the guy, yeah? Or we canoe past him and make him stop us.

Violette Snipes: but he seems to think that if we go into their territory right now we will get them riled up and have problems

Rothuss Carder: River otters are well known for their habit of overreacting to almost everything.

Violette Snipes: squeezes Vee's arm

Vee Barlett: Kinda like Levi.

Levi Reed: Careful, we might need that arm for rowing

Violette Snipes: You know what you do to me when you get all stern like that

Levi Reed: makes a face

Vee Barlett: laughs and kisses her

Violette Snipes: giggle

Vee Barlett: Come on, let's go. If he wants to talk to us, he can talk to us.

Violette Snipes: sWhat are we going to do with your friends?

Lirtimya: I'd like to see him try to talk Vee out of doing something with water

Vee Barlett: What about them?

Vee Barlett: They good at rowin'

Violette Snipes: We can take three people in our canoe, so who is coming with us?

Levi Reed: We're good at talking, too

Vee Barlett: They all comin'

Vee Barlett: Hmm... some of them we haul behind with rope?

Vee Barlett: I thought I made a canoe big enough...

Falk Honig: STAY AWAY

Levi Reed: How far is it? Because you said "first" lake earlier...

Vee Barlett: FROM WHAT?

Levi Reed: rolls eyes

Lirtimya: Here he comes

Violette Snipes: SCREW YOU FALK, SHE IS MINE!!!!

Vee Barlett: That was quick....

Levi Reed: mumbles "We can never just FINISH a damn conversation"

Violette Snipes: Imean

Violette Snipes: sorry

Violette Snipes: You were saying?

Vee Barlett: grins

Vee Barlett: Watcha want, Falk?

Rothuss Carder: Are we going to witness a duel for the Fair Vee's hand?

Falk Honig: Just stay where you are flat landers

Lirtimya: That would be quite the show

Vee Barlett : [Translation] Excuse you???

<font color="#000000">Excuse you???

[understood by: Vee Barlett]

Rothuss Carder: Excuse me, I'm a High Lander. The rest of you are Low Landers.

Levi Reed: FLAT landers?

BOB waits for it

Vee Barlett: whispers, "At least this one wouldn't be a drunken fight for it."

BOB waits for it

Temperance: exhales softly and returns to scribbling in her notebook.

Lemon (Levi Reed): there can be only one?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): (no one's biting)

BOB Thank you!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I feel like it'll be a long wait for some joke....

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yay lemon solves it!

BOB You have some guy across the river yelling at you

BOB apparently to tell you not to go down river

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and we yelled back to him

Lirtimya: What? I can't hear you, maybe you should just tell us after we're finished!

BOB and you can fit three people per canoe, you have one he has one, you have 6 people total

BOB (minus one round behind)

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ohhhhhh

Lemon (Levi Reed): We have to get his canoe from him

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh so three of us go talk to him, convince him to let us borrow his canoe, then all of us can go...?

Lemon (Levi Reed): But our mermaid can hold her breath forever, so let's tow her behind the boat

BOB Talk, or what ever option Levi comes up with

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or is he nearby?

Lemon (Levi Reed): What? Why Levi?

BOB grins

BOB because Temperance is pure as the driven snow

Lemon (Levi Reed): Oh, flirting?

wyjyoon (Temperance): ?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): one way to find out

Lemon (Levi Reed): Lol, sorry, irl I'm ace, sometimes it takes a minute to get those references

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if you tow Vee behind, we can take four, right? not that far to reach the guy if he can yell at us

Levi Reed: Hey handsome! Can we come over there and talk to you!?

Rothuss Carder: Are we going to mug him for his canoe?

Lemon (Levi Reed): It doesn't look that far, surely some people can just swim across the river?

Levi Reed: Of course not

Vee Barlett: I'm fine with muggin'

Levi Reed: That would be rude

Temperance: Let's put mugging as the last resort. It'd be unnecessary conflict before the journey.

Vee Barlett: Killjoy.

Temperance: smiles back.

Temperance: As always.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Unnecessary conflict is your new life, get used to it

Levi Reed: Unnecessary conflict is your new life, get used to it

Levi Reed: Or better yet, you want to come over here so we can chat!?

Levi Reed: I'd like to hear more about the river otters!!!

Vee Barlett: WE COMIN' OVER TO TALK TO YOU OR YOU COME HERE. CAPICHE??

Lirtimya: We probably shouldn't majorly hurt anyone, or we may not be allowed back

Falk Honig: You need to stay there and listen about the otters and not go see the others

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *capisce

Vee Barlett: So you gonna tell us WHY?

Levi Reed: WHAT'S THE OTTER SITUATION BRO?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): maybe they're dragonslayers

Falk Honig: Why do you need to know? it is just enough to let them be

Vee Barlett: 'CAUSE WE GOIN' ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

Levi Reed: BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T TELL US WHY, WE'RE JUST GOING

Falk Honig: I will warn them you are coming

Vee Barlett : [Translation] HOW??

<font color="#000000">HOW??

[understood by: Vee Barlett]

Vee Barlett: WE JUST WANT TO GET TO THE CAVE

Levi Reed: GREAT, CAN I JOIN YOU?

Falk Honig: What? why would you do that?

Vee Barlett: looks at Levi then assumes he means him.

Levi Reed: INTERESTED TO MEET SOME LOCALS AND LEARN ABOUT THE OTTERS

Levi Reed: PLUS YOU'RE CUTE

Levi Reed: AT LEAST FROM HERE YOU ARE

Falk Honig: Thank you

Falk Honig: the otters are cuters

Levi Reed: NEED A CLOSEUP

Falk Honig: You can swim over here

Levi Reed: dives in

Vee Barlett: shakes head and watches

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Swimming [MOD:STR] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 13] [d20 = 2]

wyjyoon (Temperance): zooms like a motorboat

Levi Reed: Oh, you're even cuter up close

Falk Honig: Thank you? I guess

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lmao

Levi Reed: So what's up with the otters? We gotta get past them but none of us wants to disturb them if we don't have to

Levi Reed: Got any tips?

Falk Honig: Don't go near them

Falk Honig: at least four males, with two females in heat

Levi Reed: Are they violent?

Falk Honig: What would you do if you had a female in heat?

Levi Reed: Ignore her and find a nice man

Falk Honig: Otters are not like that

Falk Honig: At least none that I have seen

Falk Honig: but you can be how you want to be

Levi Reed: So I have a friend over there who can probably talk to them... you think they could be reasoned with? Maybe we can offer them a gift?

Rothuss Carder: sidles over to Violette's side.

Falk Honig: but the otters will not like it if you come close

Rothuss Carder: So, clue a guy in. Who's this other guy, and what's his beef?

Violette Snipes: Falk watches over the river, protects it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (so I looked to see if there were any gay otters in zoos to correct him only to discover otter is a term for a certain gay guy physic so... yes, otters ARE like that)

Lemon (Levi Reed): lolllll

BOB WOW

Carissa (Vee Barlett): not a bear, not a twink, but an otter as the in-between

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and that is your LGBT+ education for today

Rothuss Carder: Using boats on a river harms it? That's a new one.

BOB Here I was worried about if otters were in the Caribean, but Carissa takes it to a whole other level of research

Carissa (Vee Barlett): LOL

Lemon (Levi Reed): science has no place in this world but LGBT+ sure does

BOB 100%

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol yes

BOB Quote

Levi Reed: Or maybe we could hire you as a guide? What do you think? 10 silver?

wyjyoon (Temperance): "Otters are like that"

TMO (Rothuss Carder): This campaign certainly took a big step in that direction, for sure. ;)

BOB warm smile

Falk Honig: YOu can hire me

Falk Honig: and I will tell you to wait and not go down river for the next five days

Falk Honig: by then they should be finished

Levi Reed: hmmm

Levi Reed: yells across the river

Levi Reed: HE SAYS THEY'LL BE DONE MATING IN FIVE DAYS

Vee Barlett: VIOLETTE'S MOM WILL BE BACK BEFORE THAT. WE GOTTA GO NOW.

Violette Snipes: I can mate for far more than five days!

Vee Barlett: snort laughs

Levi Reed: rolls eyes again

Levi Reed: So our other guide over there... well... you heard

Levi Reed: Do you speak the otters language?

Falk Honig: NBope

Falk Honig: I am just a simple fisherman

Carissa (Vee Barlett): then how was he going to warn them??

Falk Honig: and woodsman

Falk Honig: and forester

Levi Reed: Are you interested in having a conversation with the river life around here?

Falk Honig: and occasional wrangler of children

Falk Honig: I can tell you everything you need to know about these waters in these mountains

Rothuss Carder: I mean, are we in such a hurry that 5 days would hurt? We could just sit and enjoy the view.

Falk Honig: there is a waterfall just over that hill that when the sun rises, turns it to fire red

Levi Reed: Sure, but my friend over there can talk to fish. That might be a once in a lifetime experience for you

Falk Honig: How do you know she is telling you what the fish say? Maybe she is just making it up, telling you "Yes please eat me"

Levi Reed: Oh, no, they never say that. They usually tell her that they're hungry and then we find something to feed them

Rothuss Carder: It's like he knows Vee very well

Carissa (Vee Barlett): rude

Levi Reed: Occasionally they guide us to where we're going... well, that was dolphins not fish

Falk Honig: So she gets you to feed the fish.....

Falk Honig: By telling you they say they are hungry

Carissa (Vee Barlett): dolphin attack force!

Rothuss Carder: says very quietly to Violetted, "Tell me something about Vee she wouldn't want me to know."

Rothuss Carder: grins and chuckles.

Levi Reed: Also, what's up with Violette over there? Is she human?

Violette Snipes: Whispers to Rothuss. Her left foot is very ticklish

Falk Honig: As far as I can tell she is very human

Falk Honig: She is cute and all but not my type

Rothuss Carder: Thanks.

Vadim Blatov: SHUT UP OUT THERE

Vadim Blatov: CAN"T I JUST GET ONE DAY TO BE QUIET ON THE RIVER

Levi Reed: Ok, look man, I'm going to level with you here. We really gotta go today. You can help us, and I'll pay you well for your help. Or you can join us for fun, and we'll try to find some interesting sea life for you to talk to via translator that will maybe say something more interesting than "we're hungry." OR I can go back over there and tell them we can't go today and you can watch Vee come over here and try to stab you

Rothuss Carder: Oh, more drama. Wonderful.

Falk Honig: Sorry Vadim

Vee Barlett: NOT UNTIL WE GET A SECOND CANOE, NO.

Temperance: I think the shouting is more a disturbance to the otters than rowing uphill.

Falk Honig: That is Vadim, he has the cabin farther down stream

Rothuss Carder: asks Violette, "So who is this new character on stage?"

Falk Honig: he likes to sleep in

Temperance: Or downhill.

Falk Honig: he likes the stars

Levi Reed: Does he have a boat?

Violette Snipes: Vadim is OBSESSED with stars

Violette Snipes: He thinks they are... I don't know the meaning of life? the universe and everything? who knows, he rarely comes out in the day

Levi Reed: Ok but does he have a boat

Vee Barlett: Oh, like the fortune tellin' priestess.

Falk Honig: He has a really really really expensive ... thing... telecsribe?

Levi Reed: Is that a boat?

Falk Honig: Somethign to look at stars with

Levi Reed: I'm asking about boats

Falk Honig: No boats

Rothuss Carder: Astrologer?

Levi Reed: boat. ship. canoe. raft.

Levi Reed: motions for Vee to come across the river

Levi Reed: YOUR TURN

Violette Snipes: He has a magical maybe not but seems like it thing that helps him look at the stars

Vee Barlett: Ugh, Levi ain't on his flirtin' game since the Melange thing.

Vee Barlett: Lemme see what I can do...

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Swimming [MOD:STR] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 14]

Vee Barlett: jumps in and swims over

Vee Barlett: Hey. Dude. You givin' trouble here?

Lemon (Levi Reed): It's not my fault that every NPC in this game is impossible to reason with

Falk Honig: Yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Falk Honig: I think"

Vee Barlett: Well if ya ain't lettin' us borrow yer canoe, you are.

Levi Reed: I offered to pay him. I offered to let him have a chat with the river creatures via you. And he declined so...

Falk Honig: He seems to be having trouble with things, (points to Levi)

Vee Barlett: Well, yeah, he often does. What's the trouble?

Levi Reed: I TRIED the nice way first

Falk Honig: Nothing

Falk Honig: Just don't go down river for 4 or 5 days

Falk Honig: It is easy

Vadim Blatov: SHUT UP

Vee Barlett: We goin' to the cave. We takin' the canoe. We need a second one or we gonna have to tow people behind. What's gonna upset otters more? Quiet rowin' or lots of splashin'? 'Cause it gonna happen one way or another.

Vee Barlett: YOU SHUT IT.

Levi Reed: He seems to think the otters in heat are going to be violent

Falk Honig: I know they will

Vee Barlett: If we threaten their mates, sure. But we ain't gonna.

Vee Barlett: HEY TEMPE! YOU GOT ANY HOLDIN' SPELLS?

Temperance: blinks to attention and yells back.

Vee Barlett: Unless ya know a way to the cave that don't go past the otters?

Violette Snipes: She is so cute when she takes charge like that

Temperance: REPEAT THAT AGAIN? WHAT SPELLS?

Rothuss Carder: to Violette, "Do otters like music? We can play to them as we go by."

Vee Barlett: HOLDIN' SPELLS! IF WE GOTTA HOLD SOMETHIN' SO WE CAN SNEAK PAST IT.

Temperance: GIVE ME A MINUTE TO DOUBLE CHECK!

Temperance: flips through her pages.

Violette Snipes: I have no idea bout otters, but she can play me like a lute

Rothuss Carder: She strums your strings?

Vee Barlett: So whatcha say, Falk? We ain't gonna harm them otters. That'd be like stabbin' my own brother and I ain't gonna do that.

Levi Reed: Also he suggested you were lying about talking to fish

Vee Barlett: Levi, maybe, but not my brother.

Vee Barlett: Why would I lie 'bout that?

Levi Reed: Ehhhh, I wouldn't say that Vee. You haven't met all your brothers yet, probably

Rothuss Carder: Heh. She said that like she hasn't threatened sto stab her own brother.

Vee Barlett : [Translation] YO! ANY FISH AROUND?

<font color="#000000">YO! ANY FISH AROUND?

[understood by: Vee Barlett]

Vee Barlett: Only got one, Levi. The others be offspring.

BOB No fish respond to Vee, they are hiding from the disturbances

Levi Reed: Anyway, I'm ready to start being threatening if we need to

Vee Barlett: Too loud for fish. They're antsy here.

Levi Reed: puts hand on machete

Rothuss Carder: Why is it so important we go right now?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't think I have any holding spells, though I do have spells that can turn things smaller.

Vee Barlett: So, again, Falk. Ya want us swimmin' down river or you want us canoein'? 'Cause we goin' either way.

Lirtimya: You want me to come over ther Vee?

Violette Snipes: Exactly, we can just stay at home and relax and spend time together.....

Falk Honig: If you want my canoe, and you are going to do it anyway, at least you can pay me

Vee Barlett: motions to Levi

Rothuss Carder: finds a comfortable spot and sits down to watch the spectacle.

Levi Reed: Yes, there we go. Ten silver

BOB hah

BOB and HAH

BOB Wendy goes first

wyjyoon (Temperance): If I cast Anti-Vermin barrier it wouldn't count against otters because they don't count as "vermin", right?

BOB Yes but

BOB Vermin is in the eye of the beholder in some sense, but in general yes, rats, etc are the key target

Levi Reed: Otters are basically water rats

wyjyoon (Temperance): ...So I have to basically think of these otters as vermin

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I mean with tail like those... they are rats or maybe nutria....

BOB For Temperance these are not vermin

wyjyoon (Temperance): Welp, I tried. So it wouldn't take effect to stop them

wyjyoon (Temperance): Second question

BOB If you were raised with the idea that Otters steal your fish, then maybe

wyjyoon (Temperance): If someone told me they steal fish and are considered vermin, would it work?

BOB not today

wyjyoon (Temperance): Not the second question

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay, next, if I cast speak with animals, would they understand?

BOB You can try

BOB :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): I have to be the one speaking to them, right?

BOB Yeap

BOB Spell Description

wyjyoon (Temperance): Alright, so I guess I'll try that. They didn't understand what Vee was trying to tell them, right?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Or didn't show indication that they did

Carissa (Vee Barlett): speak animal at least guarantees they'll understand you - even if they still do'nt listen, lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Fair point

Temperance: Temperance tried to roll initiative again. (hold alt-key while rolling to force re-roll)

BOB Levi is up first on the CT

Lemon (Levi Reed): So... we're murdering otters, yeah?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Before I attack them

wyjyoon (Temperance): Somebody said knock them out, but I dunno how to do that

Lemon (Levi Reed): Just want to make sure we're all on teh same page here

Vee Barlett: Vee Barlett forced re-roll of initiative.

Vee Barlett: [INIT] [d10 = 5]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): bob didn't say no to all so I did reroll

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee still wants to see if we can not kill them

BOB So yes that is 1 point but to who?

BOB You should target first

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the thing is, if you don't go below -10 for damage, you CAN hit them normally but bind them after

Lemon (Levi Reed): otter 4 is who I was going for

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ahhh, right, the weird targeting. I was trying to roll it on top of the icon and it didn't work

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Levi punches self in confusion

[TURN] Vee Barlett

Levi Reed: I think we lied to Falk, guys

Levi Reed: We might be about to murder some otters

wyjyoon (Temperance): Belatedly realized you need a rodent's whisker to activate anti-vermin anyway

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ok pausing for a second because wtf

Carissa: sorry need to think about this occ

Carissa: *ooc

Carissa: One more hit would knock Vee almost out. We only have two fighters, then two who can use magic. We have to be smart here. Maybe they'll stop if we hit them once, but seriously wtf is that damage.

BOB Take a moment

BOB They are giant otters, meaning smaller than man sized, but razor sharp talons

Carissa: WHY are we fighting stupid otters to see some pearl? And Violette might be walking wounded so she couldn't even swim or did she only hit zero?

Carissa: What's the goal here???

BOB regular otters are tiny

BOB She is walking wounded

Carissa: And yes, this is my week frustration getting to me, but this feels very uneven

BOB and in love with Vee for saving her

Carissa: yes yes sugar and spice and all that, BUT the earlier parry attempt was ignored and this feels too...

Carissa: hmm words escaping me

Carissa: too much for too little

BOB Sorry did not ignore the parry attempt, it was just the one attack that got through

Carissa: and took her health down to half

BOB Yeap

Carissa: and she has HP unlike... everyone except Levi

Lemon (Levi Reed): Should we go back?

Carissa: no, no Zzzz you guys need to help me think this throuhg too

Lemon (Levi Reed): Or wait, the guy down the river was some kind of wizard, no?

Carissa: spells, idea, or ways to retreat and protect ourself while we retreat

Lemon (Levi Reed): Could it be him doing something?

Carissa: the stupid monkey probably matters somehow but I'm not quite in a charitale mood for that yet

Carissa: We can do a single round and see what happens but what are you other three doing?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Paddle faster?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I can try to use arrows, but we weren't too keen on killing them before

Carissa: arrows won't help

Carissa: they are too close to use them

wyjyoon (Temperance): Then daggers

Carissa: any water or protection spells?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Does anyone have any water or animal spells?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Or freeze?

Carissa: calm animal?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Or...

Lemon (Levi Reed): idk

wyjyoon (Temperance): Most of the spells I have require material components that I don't have right now

BOB If they are common things you have them

BOB If they are strange unusual magical things then no

BOB Cobwebs? yes

BOB Crickets? yes

BOB earth from a grave at midnight? no

wyjyoon (Temperance): Do I have oak bark?

BOB yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): But not rodent whiskers

BOB You can have that

wyjyoon (Temperance): Just clarifying

TMO (Rothuss Carder): reach out and pluck one

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, okay

Carissa: it'd probably be "normal" kit component

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, I'm sure we've run into regular mice

Carissa: so we need to retreat because without our guide, I don't see reason to go to the pearl toda

Carissa: beat them up and retreat

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, that makes sense

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay cool, I still won't be able to use that anti-vermin spell because BOB said not today

TMO (Rothuss Carder): would a sheet of fire spook them away?

Carissa: might as well, yes

Carissa: I don't know what spells mini has, but that is one I do know

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Flaming hands, and acid arrow

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Wall of fog too, but itwouldn't really help, because water

Carissa: fire is good if you have a good view

Carissa: and not get the canoe caught on fire

BOB chuckles

BOB Lirt burns the otters

BOB and the canoes

BOB BLUB

Carissa: so what spell could you use to help Wendy?

Carissa: and if Rothuss has nothing to add, I guess he can do a str roll to get us out faster or something

wyjyoon (Temperance): Right now all I have are attack spells or cause light wounds

Carissa: light wounds is touch

TMO (Rothuss Carder): am I finished binding Violette?

Lemon (Levi Reed): What kind of attacks?

wyjyoon (Temperance): If they're within touching distance I can use it

BOB yes she is safe

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Can we use our paddles to bat otters away?

wyjyoon (Temperance): If I have stones I can try magical stones, but that's also missile

wyjyoon (Temperance): And you said no to arrows earlier

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Alright, I guess paddle faster. I have expeditious retreat, but that's movement speed, and I couldn't cast it *and* move this turn

Rothuss Carder: No one told me it was *monster* otters!

Lemon (Levi Reed): You definitely have stones, pretty sure after the cave Temperance will always have stones lol

Carissa: so if Rothuss is rowing, Vee can attack?

Carissa: and we'll still go backwards?

Rothuss Carder: I'm thinking little cute slinky fuzzballs!

BOB Yes to JTom, you can swat with the paddles or paddle to get moving

Carissa: River Rats.

Carissa: that's actually our hockey team up here

Carissa: alright, so we retreat and beat them off us as we retreat

BOB grins

Carissa: my mood is sour but that's all I got

Vee Barlett: Rothuss, you paddle us back out of here, and I'll make sure they don't climb into our canoe. Got it?

Rothuss Carder: Paddling!

Vee Barlett: Well that was stupid. Maybe we do wait five days. Bastards.

Falk Honig: Back again huh?

Rothuss Carder: What the hell were those?

Falk Honig: Otters,

Falk Honig: Otters in heat

Lirtimya: You didn't tell us they were giants

Rothuss Carder: Bull!

Falk Honig: Told you

Vee Barlett: Those ain't rivers. They nutria or somethin' mutant.

Rothuss Carder: Those were monsters.

Lirtimya: Those aren't otters

Falk Honig: Laughs

Levi Reed: Worst 12 silver I ever spent

Rothuss Carder: Otters are only yeh long. *holds up hands a couple feet apart.

Levi Reed: And I've spent money on a lot of really stupid things

Falk Honig: Are they any different than your fish in the sea?

Lirtimya: Yes

Lirtimya: Yes they are

Vee Barlett: Lots of different types of fish.

Falk Honig: Luaghs

Falk Honig: I am glad you are ok

Falk Honig: Violette looks bad, but she is breathing?

Levi Reed: I mean, she lives here, she should have been able to warn us

Vee Barlett: She alive, but she need rest.

Rothuss Carder: So I'm guessing you're either cruiel or stupid. You could have *easily* said at any point in our conversation that these things were 5' to 6' long monsters that'd happily tear off our faces.

Falk Honig: I bet she said it would be exciting

Vee Barlett: Why wouldn't it be?

Vee Barlett: Except no one told us those things are monsters.

Falk Honig: Nods, see that is what she is like,

Rothuss Carder: Instead it was just "don't disturb the cute widdle otters."

Falk Honig: I tried to say to let them be,

Levi Reed: Yeah, we might still have gone up there and done almost the exact same thing, but at least we would have been prepared

Vee Barlett: They're protectin' the pearl.

Vee Barlett: Not sure they'll be any better in five days.

Falk Honig: Nah

Rothuss Carder: You don't try to keep people from running into owlbears by warning them "don't disturb the birds"!

Falk Honig: At least I have no idea about any pearl

Falk Honig: so I doubt they do either

Vee Barlett: They live in the water so I'd think so, but they ain't speak it.

Falk Honig: Owlbears? no one is stupid enough to get near one of those

Rothuss Carder: NOT IF THEY KNOW THEY'RE THERE! Which we DIDN'T!

Levi Reed: Yeah,,, no one...

Rothuss Carder: Because you NEVER TOLD US!

Vee Barlett: Adventure is fun when it ain't high stakes. Ya only do high stakes when the thing at the end is WORTH IT.

Levi Reed: Definitely none of us here would knowingly wander into an owlbear den....

Vee Barlett: This? We can wait five days. Stupid fuckin' things.

Falk Honig: You think she is worth it?

Vee Barlett: Stop hearin' what you want to hear.

User has gone AFK. (Lemon)

Falk Honig: Laughs

Falk Honig: when can I get my canoe back?

Vee Barlett: I think she worth it enough to not risk pushin' past them bastards.

Vee Barlett: We'll get it again in a few days. Feel free to take it back for now.

Vee Barlett: But fightin' monsters like that ain't worth just lookin' at a pearl.

wyjyoon (Temperance): (Would that mean he'd ask for twelve silver again to use it?)

Falk Honig: Yeah, I thought you were after that lost pirate treasure

Carissa (Vee Barlett): probably but he may also ask for 12 each day we keep it

Vee Barlett: Now if there be pirate treasure, that might be worth it. Whatcha hear?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Fair point, didn't think about that

Falk Honig: That airship that crashed last year

Vee Barlett: Ugh, those are stupid ships. Ships belong ON THE WATER.

Falk Honig: two groups went in search of it and never heard from again

Vee Barlett: Famous pirates?

Falk Honig: Looking for their fuel gems

Temperance: blinks at the unfamiliar term

Temperance: Fuel gems?

Falk Honig: Stupid I say, if they had gems why not use them

BOB None of you have any idea what the hell he is talking about

Vee Barlett: Sounds nice, I guess. But only if it worth somethin' or has good info.

Falk Honig: People all guess they had something from the King or some sort of valuable

Falk Honig: all pirates have valuables right?

Vee Barlett: 'Course or they ain't good pirates.

Levi Reed: Uhhh airship?

Vee Barlett: But a good one also ain't gonna crash their ship.

Levi Reed: Those are just legends

Falk Honig: Yeap

Falk Honig: That is why they are so hard to find

Vee Barlett: groans and rubs her face

Vee Barlett: Maybe tomorrow this'll be more excitin' gossip, but ain't makin' my greed bone tingle today.

Vee Barlett: Stupid fuckin' otters.

Vee Barlett: Violette's mom gonna kill me if she comes back tonight.

Falk Honig: You can stay here with her

Vee Barlett: You gonna charge?

Falk Honig: Nah, she will owe me

Falk Honig: Or her mom will hear

Falk Honig: Pretty thing like you? that is worth it

Vee Barlett: What?

Rothuss Carder: grins.

Falk Honig: Violette will want to keep you to herself

Vee Barlett: And you might exploit it.

Lemon (Levi Reed): I make a character that's a flirt and somehow Vee gets all the action

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Falk Honig: Never you worry about that

TMO (Rothuss Carder): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): feel free to jump in and flirt again

Vee Barlett: frows

Vee Barlett: Always gotta worry about that.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Nah, he seemed to indicate he was into women only so

Falk Honig: She ain't interested in me

Vee Barlett: Nah, you too borin'

Falk Honig: Too safe

Falk Honig: But I have things to do

Vee Barlett: Well Levi still up for cuddles if yer bored.

Falk Honig: you bed down stay here

Vee Barlett: Fine. Thanks, I guess. Just don't you blackmail her bad enough I gotta shank you.

Falk Honig: You make her happy

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Falk Honig: I get to tease her

Vee Barlett: Hmm, sounds like my Dad.

Falk Honig: No clue who he is

Falk Honig: I have to get some things done

Vee Barlett: Alright, y'all. We ain't in a hurry goin' anywhere so get comfy.

Falk Honig: See you around nightfall

Vee Barlett: Ain't say you'd know him, just that Dad's like to tease their kids about crushes.

Vee Barlett: waves

Vee Barlett: *dads

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *ooc

BOB and the group is here at the river fork

BOB a few of you are wounded

Carissa (Vee Barlett): thanks captain obvious :P

BOB and you should come up with a plan

BOB LOL

Carissa (Vee Barlett): i hate plans

TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, I'm coming up with plans...

Lemon (Levi Reed): saaaaame

wyjyoon (Temperance): Um... healing?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): sounds like TMO is taking over this planning

BOB Otters slice your belly open? or alternative plan is?

Lemon (Levi Reed): for hating plans, I mean

Carissa (Vee Barlett): healing is good

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay, healing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): violette can't get it until tomorrow not that we'll leave tomorrow

TMO (Rothuss Carder): surprises for Falk plans...

wyjyoon (Temperance): We're not going anywhere for the time being right?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Is Falk's house made of wood?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and probably

BOB Yes

BOB to wood

BOB yes to staying here for now?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): TMO I have a plan

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): lol

BOB OH MAN

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

TMO (Rothuss Carder): straight to arson, eh son? Nothing in between in your bag of tricks?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): a good plan

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Flames pretty

TMO (Rothuss Carder): murder not so much

wyjyoon (Temperance): Before I cast healing, did you want me to wait on Violette or no?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I wasn't sure

Carissa (Vee Barlett): don't think she can take healing today, but as bob

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh she can't take it today?

BOB She can take a cure light wounds to be walking wounded

BOB Then full healing tomorrow

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok, so cure light wounds, and then I'm casting Orison for everyone else except... Lirt? I don't think she was hit, right?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): would it work to use 1 pt from Orison on Violette to bring her to walking wounded and spend the rest on others?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I was not

TMO (Rothuss Carder): so we don't need to spend a whole cure light on her

BOB No needs at least a Cure Light to make her walking wounded

TMO (Rothuss Carder): ok, just checking

wyjyoon (Temperance): Thanks for checking, always helps

wyjyoon (Temperance): So cure light and then Orison? Everyone ok with that?

BOB Technically you could dump one entire Orison into her, but that is the same as 1 cure light, needs one full 1st level spell to make someone walking arounded

BOB hah

Carissa (Vee Barlett): go for it

Lemon (Levi Reed): If we're waiting 5 days, do we really need to do the healing minu... sha (minutae? Idk spelling) or canwe just assume everyone is healed 5 days later?

BOB Are you going to wait five days?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): might as well do it now because spells

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if you want my answer right now, yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): Honestly healiing is the only type of spell I can do for you guys right now.

wyjyoon (Temperance): If you want me to wait I can

BOB So Temp heals everyone

Carissa (Vee Barlett): go ahead wendy

BOB go for it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we're spending the night anyways

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so even if bob somehow convinces us to go right back to those stupid otters, we still get a night rest

Vee Barlett: Yeah, near dyin' be like that.

Vee Barlett: sits down and carefully holds her

snuggles into Vee

Vee Barlett: Falk says we can rest here tonight so yer mom don't find out.

Violette Snipes: Good

Vee Barlett: But I ain't keen to go back down river tomorrow if them otters still bein' bitches.

Violette Snipes: I am tired

Vee Barlett: Rest. Ain't goin' nowhere tonight.

Violette Snipes: They caught us unawares

Violette Snipes: He never told us they were guarding

Violette Snipes: He said they were mating

Vee Barlett: He still don't believe they guardin'

Vee Barlett: But that be what Tempe says they doin' so what else be guardin?

Violette Snipes: Mates

Rothuss Carder: pulls his lute back out again, checks it for water damage, then starts playing a quiet background tune.

Violette Snipes: sparkly things

Violette Snipes: that is all I know they keep

Vee Barlett: You know anythin' about a pirate treasure?

Violette Snipes: That is a myth

Violette Snipes: 'a treasure ship crashed here years ago

Violette Snipes: no one ever found it

Vee Barlett: Famous pirates?

Violette Snipes: If you are famous you are not a good pirate I thought?

Lirtimya: That's assasins, pirates don't mind the spotlight usually

Vee Barlett: opens her mouth to say something then closes it

Vee Barlett: It... depends.

Vee Barlett: Anyways, tryin' to see if it worth goin' that way.

Violette Snipes: If we want to get down to the big lake

Vee Barlett: I'm just... tired. Hate the unexpected THAT quick, ya know?

Violette Snipes: but if you think there is pirate treasure

Vee Barlett: The big lake?

Violette Snipes: What do you think it could be?

Vee Barlett: Nah, I don't know. Only know Falk said it.

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Violette Snipes: He must be jealous that we might find it first

Violette Snipes: maybe there is something to it

Vee Barlett: Thinkin' he jealous of me, but maybe.

Violette Snipes: There is a lake here on the river a bit farther down stream

Violette Snipes: then you can see the big lake down at the bottom of the mountain

Vee Barlett: I mean, I got reasons to maybe be interested but rumors and gossip aren't my usual reason to go after things. I like at least somethin' a little more concrete

Violette Snipes: that leads all the way to the sea

Violette Snipes: The big city I heard

Vee Barlett: He said somethin' about airships.

Vee Barlett: Which one?

Image: Borinquen

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yeah but does SHE know it

BOB maybe maybe not, but that is the map to show you the big lake that leads down to the city

BOB Just so you have an idea

Vee Barlett: Well it's a quicker way out of here at least.

Vee Barlett: I hate goin' through the jungle.

BOB Circle to show where you are

Rothuss Carder: Maybe we can carry the canoes around the beasts?

Lemon (Levi Reed): The jungle is BY FAR the easiest place we've been so far lol

Violette Snipes: I don't know about airships

Rothuss Carder: What's it called? Portaging?

Violette Snipes: I would love to see one

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol true

Violette Snipes: but I hear they are rare

Vee Barlett: Ships belong on the water.

Levi Reed: Airships aren't real

Vee Barlett: But maybe we gotta go by land for some of it, Roth. Might be right.

Vee Barlett: Or realize they gonna attack us so we can't negotiate.

Vee Barlett: Wish Melange didn't have the bug. We need more slicin'

Violette Snipes: Will you take me with you?

Vee Barlett: Where?

Violette Snipes: Where you are going

Vee Barlett: Thought we was goin' to see the pearl together. You jumpin' beyond that?

Violette Snipes: I wanted to take you down to the river and show you simple things like pearls

Violette Snipes: You want to go do big things

Vee Barlett: I like simple things, 'specially when it actually is simple.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): AND NOT STUPID OTTERS

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

Violette Snipes: Well I am not simple

Vee Barlett: But yeah, you can tag along whenever we leave these mountains.

Vee Barlett: Ain't said no to any yet. Well, except Beth. I ain't a fan of her taggin' along more than necessary.

Vee Barlett: But yer gonna have to be able to defend yerself.

Violette Snipes: Who is Beth?

Vee Barlett: Some small town pickpocket from one of them islands. She had a thing for Melange.

Violette Snipes: The one with the bug?

Vee Barlett: Yar.

Violette Snipes: Not sure what anyone would see in him

Vee Barlett: Ain't pretty when he sick, but he got some nice muscle on him.

Vee Barlett: Levi his boo now.

BOB shots fired

Carissa (Vee Barlett): levi check out?

Levi Reed: Wow, ouch

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Levi Reed: I mean, I'm not sure what anyone would see in you either, Violette, but here we are

Vee Barlett: Rude. I'm right here.

Violette Snipes: Vee likes it a lot

Levi Reed: So am I!!!!

Vee Barlett: Yeah, but you're you and I'm me.

Violette Snipes: But I am not interested in you Levi

Levi Reed: And I'm not interested in you

Violette Snipes: Good

Rothuss Carder: picks up the stumming pace a little bit with the rising voices.

Temperance: looks confused at the back and forth of conversation, shrugs her shoulders and focuses on casting Orison

BOB Tell me who gets what Wendy

Vee Barlett: Anyways, we ain't gotta talk about it now 'cause yer healin' but if ya kept taggin' along, Violette, how ya gonna keep yerself safe?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'm probably prioritizing Vee first

wyjyoon (Temperance): How many does it take to restore her back to full health?

BOB 12

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay, and if I recall correctly I can cast... 3 times per slot?

BOB warm smile will get you a link

wyjyoon (Temperance): I have it

BOB ok

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok, so it looks like I can memorize up to five according to the page

BOB 3 + 1/level for each First level spell you have

BOB and each Orison is 1 HP of healing

BOB in this case

BOB So 6 points of healing per first level spell

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay, then two slots of healing for Vee then?

Temperance: Since she needs 12?

wyjyoon (Temperance): *ooc

BOB That works yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay cool

Vee Barlett's health adjusted by +12

wyjyoon (Temperance): Thanks for helping BOB : )

wyjyoon (Temperance): Think I'd get used to casting spells by now

BOB And I was wrong she was down by 22 not 12

BOB still down by 10

wyjyoon (Temperance): OH

TMO (Rothuss Carder): a pittance!

BOB Everyone was at full to start the day

BOB I did double check that

BOB You have used 1 first level spell on Orison so far

BOB and the other spell on Other Languages

Lemon (Levi Reed): Use em all up, we're sleeping here tonight so you should be back to full tomorrow

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, that's what I have on my end as well

wyjyoon (Temperance): And okay, as long as we're not going anywhere tonight then that's fine by me : )

BOB We are walking through step by step both for you to get used to it, and in case you want to cast other spells later on this day, so you know how many you have left

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, that makes sense, I just don't want her to be overly cautious with casting

BOB So in a few weeks you will be just saying "I cast 2 orisons, 24 hit points, 12 to Vee, 8 to Lirt and 4 to Levi" and show you are an expert

wyjyoon (Temperance): And I appreciate that very much. I'm not trying to be overly cautious with casting, it just takes me a while to mathematically maneuver around point restoration and all that

Lemon (Levi Reed): Totally fair. It's just I know we've warned against too much casting when we've been in caves and stuff, I just wanted you to know that's not the case now. You don't have to use them all for healing, you can do a seance or speak to some random animals outside or anything you want, but go ahead and use them all

BOB You are down the hill from the Orphanage, a couple of miles,

Rothuss Carder: wanders around while playing the lute, covertly exploring the area around Falk's house. Doors, windows, tools, just getting a good view of them as he plays.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Do whatever you want with them, but use them all!

wyjyoon (Temperance): I know in the caves we were in constant combat, so I understand why we would be discouraged in that sense. And I really don't mind using them for healing! I don't have my head wrapped around the other spells yet anyway

Lemon (Levi Reed): But that's why this is the perfect time to try them!

Lemon (Levi Reed): Find out what they do in a low stakes situation

BOB Looking at the Party Sheet you should see that Vee, Levi, and Rothuss are down

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes. If I cast another for Levi, that would leave him with 1 pt of damage

BOB Somehow Lirt manages to avoid damage ..... hmmm, maybe she is a witch......

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lirt with her Witchy Powers :D

Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, and that one point will heal overnight

wyjyoon (Temperance): Alright, so one slot for Levi : )

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): He knows too much!

BOB You tell me how to heal people for how much Wendy

Lemon (Levi Reed): Are we doing anything else after this? If so, I'll try to stick it out, but if not, I'm ready for bed lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll give him 6 HP

BOB Yes to Wendy

BOB up to the group for Lemon

Levi Reed's health adjusted by +6

wyjyoon (Temperance): And I'll give 5 HP to Rothuss

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss is going to want to talk to the astrologer in the evening if we're still here (I assume we will be), but that can be next week.

Rothuss Carder's health adjusted by +5

BOB and will do for you TMO

BOB Rothuss is fully healed

wyjyoon (Temperance): Cool beans

Carissa (Vee Barlett): rude

wyjyoon (Temperance): 10 HP for Vee, if possible

[250 XP] -> Ratbone Carder

Vee Barlett's health adjusted by +10

BOB So you did 10 for Vee, how many do you have left over?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Calculating

BOB 2

wyjyoon (Temperance): 2 slots?

BOB You heal 6 for every Orison (each First level spell)

BOB So healing Vee for ten hit points means two first level spells

BOB which is a total of 12 points of healing

wyjyoon (Temperance): Which means I have 2 pts left over

BOB so you have two to use on someone else

BOB exactly

BOB and Levi is down by 1

Levi Reed's health adjusted by +1

wyjyoon (Temperance): Can I use that one hp leftover onto Violette? Or does she have to wait until tomorrow?

BOB Has to wait until tomorrow

wyjyoon (Temperance): Because if I heal Levi there's one hp left

BOB IF she heals Levi

TMO (Rothuss Carder): you can put it on her, maybe she'll feel a bit better, but stat-wise it won't help any

BOB See what she did there Lemon?

wyjyoon (Temperance): If I'm healing Vee in full then I'm healing Levi with the leftover points, because where else would they go?

BOB :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): orison can always be used for more than healing

Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm sorry, I can't math at the best of times, and you're going to try and ask me about math at 10:30 on a Friday night after the longest week ever?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): *hugs*

Carissa (Vee Barlett): doesn't matter right now, but you can use that lat orison to boost someone's stats if you want for example

BOB Because if I heal Levi there's one hp left

TMO (Rothuss Carder): long for me as well

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you'd have to look at the spell description to see what else orison does

BOB Turn Vee's socks blue

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no that's cantrip

Carissa (Vee Barlett): priests are killjoy and orisons are more mundane

Lemon (Levi Reed): boost stats?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I can alleviate?

BOB That takes one full Orison but yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): Courage is probably the closest to boosting stats

Lemon (Levi Reed): orison boosts stats?

BOB Does Lirt have Cantrip?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Nah, it's just the closest

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Not yet, that's next NWP

Lemon (Levi Reed): No, this conversation has gotten confusing. Please pause.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes and no, I don't remember the specifics for how it boosts stats

Lemon (Levi Reed): BOB, does orison boost stats?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): paste the description please

BOB (LINK)

<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki-old/pmwiki.php?n=Main.PR-Orison">(LINK)</a>

wyjyoon (Temperance): Unlike Cantrip, an orison must have a specific effect, although the priest need not decide which incantation he will use until he actually casts the spell. Regardless of the prayer chosen, the orison’s duration is never more than one round per level. Known orisons include the following:

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but orison is the priest version of cantrip so it can do more than heal, but it's mostly just healing

Lemon (Levi Reed): Is there a link for orison to show all the different... thank you

Carissa (Vee Barlett): but orison is the priest version of cantrip so it can do more than heal, but it's mostly just healing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ok yes so boosts stats but only for a very short term specific thing like +1 WIS for a roll

BOB It only lasts one round

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ah, that was my next question. Ok, thank you

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or give you advantage against an attack roll for one round, all that

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I did not know that about Orison, but I've never played a priest.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so not super powerful, just saying it's another way to use up orison if you have leftover

Lemon (Levi Reed): magic sense might be useful at some points

Carissa (Vee Barlett): think I only did it once or twice, I think as Shi

Lemon (Levi Reed): Wait, it says one round per level

BOB Yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so could actually last five rounds per full orison

BOB So at Temp's level would be 3 rounds

Lemon (Levi Reed): And FOUR orisons per spell slot?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): one orision is one spell

BOB no 1 orison per first level spell

wyjyoon (Temperance): And each orison is 6 hp, right?

BOB At her current level yes

Levi Reed: In other words, a 1st level priest can memorize four orisons for one 1st level spell slot, a 2nd level priest can memorize five, and so on.

Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc

Lemon (Levi Reed): copied from the page

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes "full" orison

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so that is four orisons, each one able to do 6 hp healing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): because orisons themselves are then split down further into points

Lemon (Levi Reed): but it says for one spell slot.

BOB Yes

Lemon (Levi Reed): So if she has 4 first level spell slots, she can do 16 orisons?

BOB No

Carissa (Vee Barlett): no

Carissa (Vee Barlett): 16 hp

Carissa (Vee Barlett): 6 PER orion

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok but that's not what it says

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you're misunderstanding orison

Carissa (Vee Barlett): as in

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (sorry words)

BOB This is what Michael was complaining about

Lemon (Levi Reed): lol, sorry

BOB Each Orison would be 1 HP of healing

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Right, that's the part everyone skips. 1hp PER Orison

BOB so Yes Temperance can do 6 Orisons at her level, but each one does 1 point of healing

TMO (Rothuss Carder): and she gets 6 castings of Orison for one 1st level spell slot.

Lemon (Levi Reed): Ok but it says four PER SPELL SLOT.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

BOB So 1 first level spell equals 6 orisons

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Your level + 3

BOB each of those 6 orisons equals 1 HP of healing

BOB at Temp's level

Lemon (Levi Reed): So if she has 4 first level spell slots, she has 16 orisons, which is 16 points of healing?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes and no

Carissa (Vee Barlett): The problem is you cannot split up orisons

Carissa (Vee Barlett): And that's why you can't think of it like that

BOB Yes to Carissa

Carissa (Vee Barlett): It's 4 Orisons which, if you cast all at once, yes is 16 HP but you can't split it up

Levi Reed: I love y'all, but nothing about this game or it's rules makes any damn sense

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So it's four orisons

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Because it's a slow casting spell, not a combat spell normally

Carissa (Vee Barlett): So it matters if you ever tried to use it in combat. You'd be casting ONE orison over 6 rounds

Levi Reed: Anyway, doesn't matter because I'm not a caster, carry on

BOB Temp gets 4 first levels spells, she decides to cast Orison (6 points of healing) cast Orison (6 points of healing) casts Cure Light (1d8 points of healing) and then has one first spell left to do things with

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes but you want to know things so trying to explain it to you

BOB Does that make sense Wendy?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm going to head out, I think. Fare thee well, friends.

BOB Night TMO

Lemon: So then she has 24 points of healing with 4 orisons?

Lemon: goodnight tmo

Carissa (Vee Barlett): night tmo

wyjyoon (Temperance): Night TMO

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Goodnight TMO!

BOB Potentially yes to Lemon

'TMO' disconnected

wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't think I have it all wrapped around my brain yet.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if she dedicated all her first level spells to only orison

Lemon: the way they explain it is absolute garbage for the layman

wyjyoon (Temperance): But I'm getting there

BOB If you have a better way we can post it

Lemon: I mean, I would, but I still don't really understand it

Lemon: Just the fact that it says 4 orisons per spell slot... it just sounds like you should be able to cast it 16 times

Lemon: But it's math stuff and I honestly am just ready to accept that I'm not going to understand it

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Goodnight people, I think I'll hop off as well

wyjyoon: I'm still confused as to how I would bring Vee back to full if I can only cast 24 HP. Maybe I'm not understanding it correctly either

Lemon: night

Carissa: we can try again another time

'JtomTMO' disconnected

Carissa: you have more than four first level spells probably, Wendy

Carissa: how many first level spells can you cast?

BOB As a priest you have a 1st level spell you can cast any first level spell you have... if you chose to go simple you can cast Orison. Which has multiple possibilities, but if you are healing you get to heal for 3 + 1/level

BOB Temperance cast three total Orisons

BOB twice on Vee 12 points each time

wyjyoon (Temperance): I have five total first level spell slots

wyjyoon (Temperance): I forgot speak with animals wasn't a first level spell

BOB Ok

Lemon: so each orison cast gives her 6 points of healing

BOB and sorry you did 12 on her with two spells

BOB 6 for each Orison

wyjyoon: Yes. I got that part

BOB that left her at 10 down

wyjyoon: Yes.

BOB Then you did a third orison to give her 6 more

wyjyoon: I thought I healed Rothuss and Levi before her

Lemon: ok but then it says they can memorize four orisons for one 1st level spell slot. So that's six times four

BOB then on your fourth Orison you did Levi and Rothuss

wyjyoon: Okay gotcha

Lemon: But that's only one first level spell slot

Lemon: sorry, my thing is completely theoretical, not related to what actually happened

BOB For Lemon, It is 4 first level slots

Lemon: So then it should say they can memorize one orison per spell slot? Or is is four different effects per orison?

BOB each orison cast is 1 HP so Temp casts 1 orison it takes up 1 first level slot and it heals up to 6 points

Carissa: one orison per slot, you can change what you split it into

Carissa: or at least we have in the past

BOB Yes for Carissa

Carissa: I put an image on discord to maybe help you visualize lemon

BOB is how Temp cured Levi and Rothus with the same Orison

Lemon: Honestly, I haven't even gotten to that part. The amount of healing points aren't even particularly relevant to me in this moment. The thing that's confusing is the description where it says a first level priest can memorize four orisons for one 1st level spell slot

Carissa: Because a single Orison is 1 +3 orisons

Carissa: Little O versus Big O

Lemon: oh ffs

Carissa: The wording isn't great there, I agree.

wyjyoon: Oh wait

wyjyoon: Really?

BOB and Each Orison is only 1 point of healing

Carissa: So one ORISON is actually three orisons.

Lemon: To be clear, I am not angry at you guys, you are being very helpful

Lemon: I am just frustrated with the whole concept

Carissa: Look at my image, Lemonnnn. The boxes are ORISON and the little green lines are orisons.

Lemon: I AM looking at it

Carissa: I worked so hard on that visual for you. SO HARD.

Carissa: it is a masterpiece

wyjyoon: So recapping: three orisons make up 1 Orison, right?

BOB Temp uses 1 first level slot to cast Orison, which gives her 6 orisons (6 effects to do) and typically you use each of those effect to heal 1 point of damage

Carissa: No quite. One Orison = (Your Leve) + 3

Lemon: Ok, so each Orison is one spell. Each Orison cast can do four of the green lines

BOB Agreed with Carissa

Carissa: So for a first level priest, it is four

Lemon: Orison is black box, orison is green line

Carissa: yes to lemon

Lemon: There needs to be a different fucking word. They shouldn't be the same word

Lemon: Again, not frustrated with you guys, just whoever created this game and these rules

BOB Orison and "little spell"

Carissa: there might be and it's use just using Orison to mean everything when it shouldn't

Lemon: I mean these words

wyjyoon: Orison and orison junior

Carissa: it is, in a way, the most complicated and frustrating spell for a priest and they get it to start

Lemon: Yeah like "each Orison can cause 4 of a chosen effect, but they must be the same effect"

Carissa: yeah while casting the spell "Orison" so... okay, you're right, it's the game language not us

BOB If there is clearer language you think of put it at the bottom of that page

BOB and people can decide to change to that

Lemon: Like the green lines should be called "effects" or something. And the black line the Orison

BOB As long as the math equals I do not care

Carissa: agree to lemon

BOB like that verbeage

BOB Verbiage

Carissa: on that note, I have a volunteer brunch tomorrow morning so I'm off to bed

Lemon: Or like "When casting an Orison, choose which effect it will use. One cast can use four of the chosen effect. For another effect, another Orison must be cast." or whatever

Carissa: since I think we kind of got lemon to understand, lol

Carissa: night all!

'Carissa' disconnected

Lemon: Yeah, I gotta go to bed too. But using the same word, IN THE SAME SPELL to mean two different things... is just poor planning

Lemon: goodnight friends

wyjyoon: Thanks for answering questions and asking questions about this, goodnight you guys!

BOB night

'Lemon' disconnected

wyjyoon: I'll need to wrap my head around this again tomorrow. It's a bit clearer now though

BOB In the morning I will post the chat before going to work

BOB last Earth Day event tomorrow

wyjyoon: Happy Earth Day! Thanks for answering the questions BOB, it was helpful : )
