Chat Log List - 2024 05 31 - Bear Went Over the Mountain - Formatted - Story
Rothuss Carder: So, I think the ones who want to go into the wreck get the potion. Rest of the swimmers stay outside. What do you think?
Vee Barlett: Weren't ya gonna talk to them two giants first? Or y'all just talk big?
Rothuss Carder: And Vee knows boats really good, so should probably be one to go in
BOB So the choice of dive into the water around the shipwreck or talk to the giants beforehand
Rothuss Carder: I nominate Vee to be one of the swimmers into the wreck. She knows boats best and is maybe the best swimmer.
BOB The trees are over on the lakeshore
Levi Reed: Rothuss, you interested in robbing some giants maybe? You wanna go climb a tree and see if they have anything worth stealing?
Vee Barlett: Of course I'm gonna be a swimmer. I already nominated myself.
Vee Barlett: But we talkin' to giants first? Maybe they gots a way to see into this wreck. Gonna be dark inside...
Rothuss Carder: I'm game to try. They did shoot at me last time though.
Levi Reed: Yeah, so stay hidden
Temperance: Hopefully the foliage will help with concealment if we do have you sneak up.
Vee Barlett: So we goin' over there?
Levi Reed: I mean... *I* don't want to go swimming again any time soon
Levi Reed: But Rothuss could!
Violette Snipes: I think I should stay here and watch for anyone trying to steal the urchins
Rothuss Carder: I don't suppose any of you fine seafaring folk have a telescope on ya?
Temperance: I don't think I do, but then again, I haven't been seafaring for very long.
Vee Barlett: You can watch the raft. Whoever goin' over can come in the canoe.
Lirtimya: I'll come with to the giants, I don't think I'll be strong enough to swim around the wreck easily
Rothuss Carder: If we head to those trees to the right of the camp, we can maybe get a good view of it from the treeline without being right in the middle of it like last time.
Temperance: How many people could the canoe carry again?
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Boating [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 6]
Vee Barlett: Well I'm steering so it ain't me.
Vee Barlett: Y'all can rock paper scissors for it.
Rothuss Carder: Nah, I figured it'd be me or Levi
Rothuss Carder: I'll hang on, Levi can paddle
Temperance: Bring back some cool souvenirs!
Temperance: smiles lightly.
Rothuss Carder: Giant tiki cups, on the way
Vee Barlett: Let's go.
Temperance: Always wanted one of those! Have fun!
Rothuss Carder: wades into the water and grabs onto the canoe, steadying it for everyone to get in.

BOB Lirt can see the tents from this promitory and can tell that the Giants are still inside starting their morning slowly
Vee Barlett: Well if they movin' slow then now the time to try to approach? They watchin' us?
Rothuss Carder: Want me to try a direct friendly greeting?
Vee Barlett: Sure.
Lirtimya: They seem to just be waking up, so maybe they'll be a bit more friendly
Rothuss Carder: moves over the rock to the other side.
Rothuss Carder: stay hidden from sight, so it's just me they see
Rothuss Carder: and be ready to go if I come running back in a blind panic
Lirtimya: Okay, I'll be ready to cover our escape
Lirtimya: will take out a pinch of split dried peas from her pouches, being prepared to cast wall of fog

BOB and yes Rothuss makes it easily across and Levi does not spot any ambush waiting for him
Rothuss Carder: Huh. slipperyer than I expected. Gonna be hell crossing this at a run.
Levi Reed: Then make sure you don't have to
Vee Barlett: Make friends, not foes.
Giant, Jungle 2 : [Translation] Who are you and why are you invading our camp?
Rothuss Carder: holds up both hands, palms outward, then points at the giant and then at himself and mimes both hands talking to each other.
Giant, Jungle 2 : [Translation] Are you stupid? You cannot speak a civilized tongue?
Rothuss Carder: Hello. Does anyone speak my language?
Giant, Jungle 2: SIGH ARE YOU REALLY SO UNKNOWLEDGABLE THAT YOU DO NOT KNOW A CIVILIZED LANGUAGE?
Levi Reed: Wow, I think this giant has met Rothuss before
Rothuss Carder: Terribly sorry, friend. I'm afraid they didn't teach us civilized languages to herd goats.
Giant, Jungle 2: THEN YOU SHOULD STAY HOME
Rothuss Carder: But how will I ever learn if I don't go out and meet more civilized folk?
Giant, Jungle 2: LAUGHS
Giant, Jungle 2: MAYBE YOU ARE NOT TOTALLY STUPID
Rothuss Carder: Only according to my mother.
Rothuss Carder: And... the captain.
Giant, Jungle 2: EVEN MOTHERS ARE WRONG ONCE IN A WHILE
Giant, Jungle 2: CAPTAINS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT
Rothuss Carder: Don't tell ours that.
Giant, Jungle 1 : [Translation] SCREW YOU
Giant, Jungle 2: WHY ARE YO HERE?
Rothuss Carder: We were traveling downslope to the coast, and heard about the shipwreck, and thought we'd swing by to take a look at it. We saw your tents here, so came by to say hello and see if you had any words or advice or warning for us.
Giant, Jungle 2: STAY AWAY FROM THE WRECK WE ARE NOT DONE HARVESTING YET
Rothuss Carder: Ah, that's news to us. We didn't know anyone was working it.
Giant, Jungle 2: DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A CHANCE AT IT?
Rothuss Carder: "Should"? Maybe not. "Could"? Maybe. We're mostly just curious, and one of our number heard about some oysters they were interested in trying to find. But, as I said, we're just passing through, mostly.
Giant, Jungle 2: I WILL DUEL YOU FOR IT
Rothuss Carder: What are you harvesting? And maybe there's a way we can help you, and still get a chance to just look around while we're there?
Giant, Jungle 2: SECOND BLOOD?
Rothuss Carder: A duel? I think the deck is stacked slightly in your favor.
Rothuss Carder: grins
Giant, Jungle 2: SO PICK YOUR OWN CHAMPION
Giant, Jungle 2: ONE OF YOURS THAT HIDES BACK THERE
Rothuss Carder: Oh, I pick me, of course.
Rothuss Carder: So long as it's not to the death. I don't care that much about the wreck.
Giant, Jungle 2: FIRST TO SECOND BLOOD TOUCH WINS
Rothuss Carder: Fine, and a knockout on first blood is also a win.
Giant, Jungle 2: LAUGHS
Giant, Jungle 2: YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT
Rothuss Carder: Of course I am! Are you?
Rothuss Carder: grins to show he's joking.
Giant, Jungle 2: WOW
Giant, Jungle 1 : [Translation] IF HE BEATS YOU I GET YOUR NET
Giant, Jungle 2 : [Translation] SCREW YOU
Giant, Jungle 2: FINE
Rothuss Carder: takes off his shirt and unbuckles his sword belt, taking out dagger and saber, and sets the clothing down on the stump next to him.
Rothuss Carder: By the way, my name is Rothuss Carder. Pleased to meet you.
Vee Barlett: WHAT'S HAPPENIN' OVER THERE??
Berte Lonerider: NICE TO MEET YOU ROTHUSS
Lirtimya: Will move to a rock that will work as a seat and sits down to watch
Berte Lonerider: I AM BERTE
Rothuss Carder: Just a small duel, Vee!
Rothuss Carder: Berte, it's been very interesting meeting you. Thank you.
Rothuss Carder: bows.
Rothuss Carder: Duel to second blood, by the way, so don't get alarmed!

Vee Barlett: Ain't it that right there?
Rothuss Carder: Ah, thank you!
Rothuss Carder: picks up his saber from the brush
Rothuss Carder: So, do we count that as first blood then?
Berte Lonerider: OH NO THAT DOES NOT COUNT AT ALL
Rothuss Carder: I mean, *technically*, there was no blood, but there easily could have been if you'd wanted.
Berte Lonerider: I AM WAITING FOR YOUR NEXT ATTEMPT
Rothuss Carder: shrugs.
Rothuss Carder: Okay, I'm game.

Berte Lonerider : [Translation] WHAT THE HADES IS HAPPENING
Berte Lonerider : [Translation] WHAT ARE YOU
Berte Lonerider : [Translation] GAAAAAAAHHHHH
Berte Lonerider: FINE YOU WIN
Rothuss Carder: moves back over to his shirt and belt and puts down his weapons.
Rothuss Carder: I'm as shocked as you are, to be honest.
Berte Lonerider: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU DID
Rothuss Carder: Mouse vs Cat tactics.
Berte Lonerider: I THREW YOU INTO THE LAKE YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE FIELD OF BATTLE
Levi Reed: I feel like you're more of a cat though, Rothuss
Berte Lonerider: I DID NOT WANT TO HURT YOU NEEDLESSLY
Rothuss Carder: And I didn't want to get hurt needlessly. But I also wanted to be friends, and that meant coming back.
Giant, Jungle 1 : [Translation] I TOLD YOU NOT TO PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD
Berte Lonerider: FINE FINE FINE
Berte Lonerider: WHAT DO YOU WANT AS YOUR PRIZE?
Rothuss Carder: May I talk with my friends first?
Berte Lonerider: CERTAINLY
Rothuss Carder: Thank you. Come on over, folks. Careful, the trunk is very slippery.
Rothuss Carder: or bring the canoe around to the shore.
Rothuss Carder: That's probably a better option.
Vee Barlett: walks over carefully
Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 14]
Vee Barlett: Too late unless Levi wants to do that.
Levi Reed: Why don't you just come back over here man?
Levi Reed: You're the graceful tumbler
Rothuss Carder: I mean, you can stay over there if you want, Levi.
Levi Reed: I don't really want to risk a tumble in that water man
Rothuss Carder: Boat.
Levi Reed: You saw what happened after I went back after the ghost monkey
Levi Reed: uggggggggggghhhhhhh fine
Levi Reed: takes the canoe over
Rothuss Carder: So, Vee. Any ideas what I should ask for as a prize? The giants are currently harvesting and have claimed the wreck.
Rothuss Carder: Rothuss is obviously riding an adrenaline high at the moment
Rothuss Carder: pulls his shirt back on and buckles his sword belt back on.
Vee Barlett: A better way to explore the shipwreck? Ability to breath water? See underwater? Both?
Levi Reed: Ask to explore with them and claim a prize at the end?
Rothuss Carder: I mean, it might just be as simple as permission to visit the giants' camp freely. Or we might already have that, I don't know.
Rothuss Carder: calls back over to Berte
Rothuss Carder: Berte, are we able to come visit your camp while you're here and we're in the area? Or will we need to go through this ritual each time?
Berte Lonerider: I WILL GRANT YOU VISITATION RIGHT WARRIOR
Rothuss Carder: Thank you!
Rothuss Carder: back to Vee
Rothuss Carder: Okay, so that's taken care of.
Vee Barlett: Ain't help us explore that wreck, tho....
Vee Barlett: tries not to laugh at him being called warrior
Rothuss Carder: So then, permission to accompany them to the wreck and explore with them, or an item or magic to let us explore safer, and/or permission to take one prize from the wreck?
Rothuss Carder: What was it Violette was wanting to get from the wreck?
Vee Barlett: Hmm, sure.
Vee Barlett: Just wanna see the oyster. I wanna know whose ship it is.
Rothuss Carder: See the oyster, or harvest the oyster?
Vee Barlett: See it. Think it bad luck to harvest it.
Vee Barlett: Maybe harvest some "urchins" tho
Levi Reed: Those urchins don't sound like much of a prize though
Rothuss Carder: Alright, will see what I can do.
Vee Barlett: Depends what's inside them.
Rothuss Carder: Berte. My group would like to, if you allow, explore the wreck, see the giant oyster (if there truly is one down there), and perhaps harvest some urchins? Would you or your tribe allow and maybe even assist us in doing so safely? We don't want to establish any sort of claim over the wreck, we're happy to leave it to your group.
Berte Lonerider: THAT IS A LOT
Rothuss Carder: Just think of us as annoying tourists, here for a bit, and then soon out of your hair and gone again.
Rothuss Carder: It is, but I'm not sure what you would allow or can do. Some of it may not be permitted.
Berte Lonerider: HOW ABOUT IF WE LET YOU GO DOWN FOR THE URCHINS AND NOT DO ANYTHING TO HURT YOU TODAY?
Berte Lonerider: ANY OF THEM YOU TAKE YOU CAN KEEP
Levi Reed: How about urchins and some honest conversation?
Berte Lonerider: YOU ARE NOT A WARRIOR
Levi Reed: I'd like to get to know you better
Berte Lonerider: HE IS
POINTS TO ROTH
Rothuss Carder: Hmm. Well, we kind of already had that before we came over here. We could have just gone under, gotten a few urchins, and left before you found out we were here.
Levi Reed: Wow, rude but ok
Levi Reed: It's important to set boundaries I guess
Berte Lonerider: YOU COULD GO UNDER AND NOT COME BACK UP
Berte Lonerider: WE WILL STAY HERE TODAY AND LET YOU HARVEST YOUR URCHINS
Rothuss Carder: That could still happen with your current offer.
Lirtimya: Levi let us not aggrivate them, as she said, you are not a fighter
Lirtimya: chuckles
Levi Reed: I said ok!
Levi Reed: I'm respecting her boundary!
Berte Lonerider: WE WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH YOUR PROGRESS OR ATTEMPTS
Vee Barlett: Any fancy tricks for seeing underwater?
Rothuss Carder: Do you have anything that will make it safer or easier for us? We don't breathe water or see in darkness.
Berte Lonerider: YOU ARE LIMITED
Rothuss Carder: Yep!
Berte Lonerider: WE PICK UP THE WRECK TO CHECK THEN DROP IT BACK DOWN
Rothuss Carder: That's .... one way to do it, I guess.
Levi Reed: Wow
Rothuss Carder: What do you harvest from it?
Berte Lonerider: URCHINS FOR PEARLS
Levi Reed: If I was into ladies, I'm pretty sure I'd have a crush on you right now, Berte
Rothuss Carder: side voice to Vee.
Rothuss Carder: Urchins got pearls?
Vee Barlett: Some of them do apparently.
Rothuss Carder: Huh. Did Not Know
Berte Lonerider: PEARLS OR INK FOR SILLY MAGIC PEOPLE
Vee Barlett: Yeah... ain't sure they the kind of urchins I know.
Rothuss Carder: You have no magic people in your group?
Berte Lonerider: RUNECASTERS ARE NOT COMMON
Rothuss Carder: (to Vee) Well, we can take that offer, or maybe ask permission to go with them and grab a very frew from the wreck when the lift it out. I don't know that they'll go for that one though.
Lirtimya: will look to see if there are any reeds growing that can be used
Lirtimya: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 6]
Lirtimya: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 15] [d20 = 1]
BOB Very nicely done Lirt finds 1d4 reeds suitable for breathing out of the batch by the lakeshore
Lirtimya: [d4 = 3]
Vee Barlett: Won't know 'til ya ask.
Rothuss Carder: Berte, a question. When you lift up the wreck, are there places in it you can't reach easily, that maybe someone smaller could get to?
Lirtimya: Levi would you mind helping me harvest some reeds while these two do their negotiating?
Berte Lonerider: YES THERE ARE INSIDE BITS AND PIECES THAT ARE HARD TO SEE INTO
Levi Reed: What, because my name is Reed?
Levi Reed: You just assume I know about reeds???
Lirtimya: No, because you can use them to breathe underwater
Rothuss Carder: How about we work together? We'll go in and harvest those inner areas, and split just that portion with you 50/50. You harvest everything you can reach for yourselves.
Levi Reed: Fiiiine
Lirtimya: There are three of them over there we can use
Levi Reed: follows Lirt
Lirtimya: Takes Levi to harvest the reeds
Berte Lonerider: THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY FAIR DEAL
Rothuss Carder: sighs with relief
Berte Lonerider: WHY ARE YOU OFFERING THAT?
Rothuss Carder: Because you're being very nice by not just throwing us all into the lake, and I want to remain friends with you.
Vee Barlett: laughs
Rothuss Carder: AND I don't want to drown in a sunken wreck in a lake!
reaches out to shake Rothuss' hand
Rothuss Carder: oh boy (under his voice)
Rothuss Carder: carefully shakes hands with her.
SHAKES FIRMLY BOUNCING ROTHUSS
Lirtimya: Thank you for the help Levi, now three of us can breathe without the potion, as long as you stay near the surface
Berte Lonerider: I HAVE NOT MET MANY HUMANS WHO ARE AS BRAVE AND SHARP AS YOU ARE WARRIOR
Rothuss Carder: nudges Vee with his elbow.
Rothuss Carder: Thank you, Berte. You're very sharp as well.
Vee Barlett: resists rolling her eyes while the giant is looking.
Rothuss Carder: Are you the leader of this camp?
Fiolx Bignose : [Translation] ARE WE REALLY HELPING THEM BECAUSE YOU LOST TO A PUNY HUMAN?
Berte Lonerider : [Translation] FAIR AND SQUARE HONOR SAYS... SOMETHING YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT
Fiolx Bignose : [Translation] FINE GIVE ME TIME TO GET DRESSED
Berte Lonerider : [Translation] MAKE IT SOON
Rothuss Carder: loosens his shoulder up to make sure it's still in its joint right.
Berte Lonerider: MY BROTHER IS GETTING DRESSED
Lirtimya: Returns to the group with Levi and the reeds and approaches Vee
Rothuss Carder: What are those for, Lirtimya?
Berte Lonerider: WE WILL WALK OUT THERE IN AN HOUR (GRUMBLES) A HALF HOUR IF HE DOES NOT STOP GRUMBLING
Lirtimya: Breathing underwater
Vee Barlett: Walk? Or swim?
Rothuss Carder: Do you want us to head out and wait for you, or wait here and go with you?
Berte Lonerider: IT IS NOT THAT DEEP
Berte Lonerider: JUST WADE OUT
Berte Lonerider: SOME PADDLING BUT MOSTLY WALKING
Berte Lonerider: I THINK IT IS NOT MUCH OVER MY HEAD AT THE DEEPEST
Vee Barlett: We'll take the canoe....
Rothuss Carder: Your kneecap is just about head-height for me.
Rothuss Carder: Would I be allowed to hitch a ride with one of the giants out there? If not, I'll go with our canoe.
Berte Lonerider: I WILL CARRY YOU
Rothuss Carder: bows.
Rothuss Carder: Thank you.
Berte Lonerider: WHERE DO YOU COME FROM THAT THEY RAISE SUCH STRONG WARRIORS?
The time is 8:33 AM
Vee Barlett: snickers to herself
Rothuss Carder: A tiny village up in the mountains called Eternal Pearl. Named by incredibly optimistic people many generations ago.
Berte Lonerider: YOU MEAN THE OUTERLANDS?
Rothuss Carder: shrugs.
Rothuss Carder: Possibly?
Rothuss Carder: I'm not sure where your Outerlands is.
Berte Lonerider: THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS
Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 16]
BOB This is The Bowl, you are on the other side of the edge
Lirtimya: Then we would all be outlanders, since I don't think any of us are from the mountains
Rothuss Carder: thinks for a moment.
Rothuss Carder: Good point, Lirt! So, yes, I guess we're Outerlanders, unless that's a death sentence, in which case, No, we're not Outerlanders.
Berte Lonerider: IT MEANS YOU ARE A STRANGE FORIEGN WARROR
Berte Lonerider: THAT IS WHY YOU DEFEATED ME
Rothuss Carder: I don't think anyone will argue against any of those adjectives.
Vee Barlett: coughs to hide her laugters
Berte Lonerider: I WILL ROUSE MY BROTHER AND WE WILL RAISE YOUR WRECK FOR YOU
Rothuss Carder: Thank you.
Berte Lonerider: YOU WILL RIDE WITH ME
Lirtimya: I may argue warrior, maybe a warrior of words, well, no warrior of sounds, there
Rothuss Carder: Vee, you all want to head back in the canoe, and I'll wait here?
Berte Lonerider: pats Rothuss' head lightly
Vee Barlett: Sure. Don't wanna interupt the... warrior ways.
Rothuss Carder: pulls his feet out of the ground one at a time.
Rothuss Carder: grins at Vee.
BOB So the other three take the canoe back over to the wreck
Temperance: squints to see whether everyone is coming back.
BOB For Temperance Vee, Levi, and Lirt are returning .... Rothuss looks to be a captive over on the far shore by the giants
Temperance: furrows her brows, but decides to ask the people coming back what happened.
Temperance: Welcome back! Er.. did you all have fun?
Levi Reed: We gave them Rothuss in exchange for the treasure
Vee Barlett: looks bored and not concerned
Vee Barlett: maybe even disappointed
Violette Snipes: Are you ok?
Violette Snipes: That looked like a horrible fight
Temperance: I heard something splash.
Levi Reed: That was Rothuss
Levi Reed: Giant lady wants to keep him and we said sure
Levi Reed: I think he's her pet now
Vee Barlett: Nah, barely any blood.
Temperance: furrows her brows, looking quite confused.
Temperance: ...Right.
Temperance: So, no blood, but there was some agreement where Rothuss stays while the wreck is being surveyed?
Temperance: shrugs her shoulders.
Temperance: I suppose it's fortunate that there was no blood.
Vee Barlett: They comin' to look with us.
Temperance: Ah, so the giants are assisting with the wreck!
Temperance: perks up a bit at the news.
Vee Barlett: Yeah think we get Rothuss back eventually, too, unfortunately.
Temperance: laughs lightly.
Temperance: I'm sure you'll miss your "pack mule", as you put it.
Vee Barlett: Ain't sure about that. But ain't much to do but wait.
Vee Barlett: They gonna lift the wreck for us to look in.
Lirtimya: So we don't need that potion then?
Temperance: her eyes grow wide.
Temperance: Really? That sounds like good quality assistance!
Temperance: looks surprised at the optimistic turn of events.
Vee Barlettl: We might still if not for this, somethin' else.
Vee Barlett: Until I find a permanent way to breath water...
Lirtimya: puts the reeds in her pack
Lirtimya: Then we won't need those for now, but they're good to keep
Temperance: What did you find, Lirtimya?
Vee Barlett: Smart thinkin' mate.
Lirtimya: Reeds, three of them, you can use them as a pipe to the surface so you can breathe
Temperance: Oh, that sounds nice! It'd be useful to keep, for sure.
Lirtimya: If we can grow them they can get much larger, but we'd need a place to do that first
Rothuss Carder: is grinning like a loon the whole way across the lake.
Temperance: We will find a place for them, I'm sure.
Temperance: glances at Rothuss floating atop the water surface.
Temperance: Looks like someone had quite an adventure.
Rothuss Carder: waves at the group.
Temperance: waves back good-naturedly.
Levi Reed: He thinks every lady is an adventure
Vee Barlett: Ugh.
Temperance: Ah, were the two giants won over by his... er...
Temperance: frowns as she thinks to herself.
Levi Reed: His skill as a warrior
Levi Reed: laughs
Vee Barlett: The lady giant. Ain't sure her brother convinced. He ain't talked to us yet.
Temperance: Ah! Right- wait, what?
Vee Barlett: His skill bein' slippery against somethin' much bigger than him.
Vee Barlett: Mouse boy.
Temperance: ...Mouse boy, right...
Levi Reed: The mighty mouse saved the day
Temperance: turns towards the giants.
Temperance: Would it be possible to bring the wreck up to this... rocky island? It would save you the trouble of having to lift it up above the surface of the water the whole time while some of us explore.
Berte Lonerider: WE CAN LIFT FOR A SHORT TIME
Berte Lonerider: WE CANNOT LIFT THIS UP OUT OF THE WATER ALL THE WAY
Berte Lonerider: WE CAN PICK THIS UP FOR A SHORT WHILE
Fiolx Bignose : [Translation] I WILL DROP THIS ON YOUR FOOT IF YOU MAKE ME DO THIS TOO LONG
Levi Reed: You kids have fun in there. I'm not about to get a ship dropped on my head
Berte Lonerider : [Translation] I WILL DROP IT ON YOUR HEAD
Temperance: Ah, I understand! We will be as quick as we can, then! Thank you very much for your assistance!
Temperance: bows respectfully.
Levi Reed: I've had enough brain damage already
Levi Reed: Probably
Berte Lonerider: WE WILL WARN YOU
