BOB Hey Wendy
wyjyoon: Hey there!
BOB No clue what is happening tonight
BOB But we are here
wyjyoon: Ah, I see. I'm sure we'll figure it out! : )
wyjyoon: Discord finally let me log back in without booting me out immediately, yay
BOB Exccellent
'Carissa' connected
BOB Did you have any questions about the Church Wendy?
BOB and hello Carissa
Carissa: hello!
wyjyoon: Went to go get some onion rings. Hey Carissa!
BOB SO question... I have this small adventure set for you, then a longer three module set of adventures
BOB Is that too much railroading?
Carissa: Yum! I almost got those yesterday but craved fried pickles more. Unfortunately, now I'll be craving onion rings until I find some, lol
BOB Good onion rings? or just Burger King onion rings
Carissa: Hmm dunno? Too limited detail for brain to immediately consider. Gotta think.
wyjyoon: Oops hehe : ) Go get some for yourself for the upcoming weekend. And no, they look good!
Carissa: I haven't been to BK in... I don't know how long. What about Sonic? Those are good to me. They'd suffice.
Carissa: but small adventure before jumping into bigs one is fun so I tihnk you're good
Carissa: that is my conclusion
BOB I will post when I get back, I have all four adventure modules loaded in FG now
BOB and it involves good action on and under the water
Carissa: as long as I get my good RP in, I'm happy :P
Carissa: YAYYYY
wyjyoon: Vee in her element : )
Carissa: hope she can breath underwater by then, lol
BOB The intention is for everyone to have fun though, grins
Carissa: and befriend more mermaids
BOB how about anti-mermaids?
wyjyoon: ? Anti-mermaids?
Carissa: only if they're also fun and interesting
Carissa: sea elves but I do'nt know that vee knows they exist
Carissa: wait aren't anti-mermaids just people?
wyjyoon: Ooo that sounds fun!
Carissa: I'm sure mermaids have enemies. Whatever. As long as it's someone who lives underwater that vee can talk to, she's happy. Even if that means fighting them. Who knows!
BOB It is my take on the trilogy of Evil Tide, Night of the Shark, and Sea of Blood
Carissa: I don't know those
wyjyoon: Those don't sound ominous at all : )
BOB For the finalle you need about 50 to 70 total levels
Carissa: Welp Evil Tide is the sixth book in the series and 440 pages so.... guess I'll just get the summary via this game, lol
BOB So Wendy what questions do you have about the church now?
BOB and Temps place in it
wyjyoon: Um... we're talking about the Cathedral, right?
wyjyoon: Or was it a different church-
Carissa: the church as a whole so? all of it? that's what I assume
BOB the CHURCH meaning the Religion, or the Cathedral, the Church, the Temple, etc
wyjyoon: Oh, I didn't know that's what you meant. I'm assuming I can make things up as I go, but most of it is questions about her place in the Cathedral : )
BOB Want to be sure that Wendy understands things so that Temp can be confident in her declarations
BOB At the Catherdral she has been told/assigned to go adventuring with this group and report back when she visits the Cathedral occasionally
Carissa: WAITSHE WAS SNOOPING ON THEM???
wyjyoon: ^ The question I've been wanting to ask lol
wyjyoon: She beat me to it :D
Carissa: It wasn't just "coincidence"?? she ended up with us?? those bastards!
BOB So Temp is not a spy
wyjyoon: Before he mentioned the Cathedral I just assumed Tempe would be from some small town church wanting to research about plants and stuff lol
wyjyoon: Oh whew : )
Carissa: same, lol
Carissa: also how is she not a spy??
BOB She is assigned to this adventuring group because they have important people in it
BOB AND the Church wants to know where and what they find
wyjyoon: So she is snooping
wyjyoon: technically
Carissa: so she is a spy
BOB Not snooping or spying just being honest
Carissa: so being an honest snooping spy
BOB If her Dad's ask Vee about the group she is going to tell them what she has seen
Carissa: BUT SHE WASN'T HONEST WITH US
Carissa: well yeah but they know Vee will
Carissa: And the group would 10000% take their side over the stupid cathedral :P
BOB She was honest, she told you she was with the Cathedral, she is a Priestess
wyjyoon: Out of all people, it's Tempe who barely has an interest in any person around her
Carissa: lmao
Carissa: so you claim, but she led us all to believe she was from some small island church - so convincing even the players thought so!
wyjyoon: I mean... Tempe didn't tell them she was from the Cathedral
wyjyoon: She did say she was a Priestess, yes
BOB Temp did say she was at the Cathedral
wyjyoon: She did?
Carissa: and back to the dads point, Vee is the shadiest here, and she does NOT need anyone else to report on her dealings
BOB and LOL with Carissa about that convincing story
Carissa: versus the rest of the group being... existing so who cares if she tells her dads about the nobodies? ;)
BOB remember the CHURCH runs most of society,
BOB this group has mostly dealt with the Religious side of things so far
BOB but there is a King of this Island
BOB Dukes, etc
BOB and no one has really spent time with that portion of society
Carissa: yeah yeah yeah and then there's the underground, it's all a veneer
BOB pointing out just how pervasive the CHURCH is
Carissa: right which is why we dislike it :)
BOB Grins
Carissa: and why Vee hasn't told them to stick it where the sun won't shine
BOB the rebel fighting force leading an uprising against the government
wyjyoon: So.... is it on Tempe to decide whether or not to be honest about her "reports" or... is she supposed to be more strict about that, character-wise?
Carissa: your decision
wyjyoon: Cool
BOB BUT in any case this group walks the line of "the church does what it can to make everyone's life better and also stay in charge as much as possible"
BOB versus the baser instincts of adventurers and mob bosses
Carissa: excuse you, that's mob princess to you
wyjyoon: Lol
BOB Temp knows she has to give reports back, and obviously with magic you know when someone is lying
BOB but that does not mean she does not have full autonomy to say what she wants, keep back what she wants
Carissa: poor wendy, already being tossed into a position where wording matters
Carissa: and not just... getting to be a hack and slash and don't think player, lol
wyjyoon: Play a priestess, they said. It'll be fun, they said :D
Carissa: :D
Carissa: you didn't ask us what KIND of fun
Carissa: see and this also happens when you become a reliable player! how dare you
BOB Wendy as a player gets to enjoy the back and forth the word play the laughing with everyone about how crazy this all is
wyjyoon: I didn't have enough experience to ask questions. But I am having fun, genuinely!
Carissa: lol good
wyjyoon: My brain cells are working a little longer, but I am having fun :D
BOB Temp is the reliable person in the group, able to help everyone, make sure that she knows almost everything and then use that knowledge to make herself and the group better more powerful
BOB As in - Temp reports back that you found those weird shroom things that might be a way of changing people and taking over their minds.....
BOB Does that mean good or bad?
Carissa: oh no, I meant reliable as in she's a player who's here most nights so that quickly gets you more involved in plot things
BOB In either case Temp gets a boost in her prestige because she has discovered new things
wyjyoon: OH MY GOD I almost forgot about those shrooms
wyjyoon: Sorry, pod people
Carissa: huh we really haven't been back here since those stupid shrooms have we?
BOB Ask Carissa if I did that with zero plans for the future
'Lemon' connected
wyjyoon: Bob I trust that everything happens according to your Plans TM
Carissa: Bob never plans. Ever.
wyjyoon: Lol
BOB and welcome Lemon
Carissa: I think he's actually allergic to planning.
BOB ACHOOO
Lemon: hello
wyjyoon: Hi Lemon : )
Carissa: hi lemon!
BOB I do want you all to know that the CHURCH does not want to cause problems, pain, etc. They want to take care of their flock, school, (metaphor) etc
BOB But the Temple, the Church, The Shrine, The Cathedral will have political motives
Carissa: duh, welcome to real lie
Carissa: *life
wyjyoon: Lol
BOB Yeap but in this case there are real lightning bolts that can rain down on the offenders
Carissa: then they should invest in rubber suites
BOB Sounds like an opportunity for Vee
BOB Vee in a rubber suit....
BOB hmmmm
Carissa: lol and nope
wyjyoon: Is it yellow like a raincoat?
BOB Orange might be tempted
Carissa: save that for the probably inevitable ruffus convo
BOB What do you mean? you are heading back to the same island you left him at, why would you encounter him in reguards to dealing with the Duke?
BOB I am shocked you thought that might happen
wyjyoon: Lol
BOB Shocked I tell you
Carissa: lol
wyjyoon: I suppose we'll prepare the popcorn for that convo then
Carissa: good thing vee's been sharpening her knives
BOB and practicing her knots?
Carissa: her threats
Carissa: he better have something good up his sleeve to end up back on her good side
BOB You do know how to excite a man
Carissa: sighhhhh what did I just say? save it for mizzen :P
BOB laughs
BOB Also I did want to point out that the last time the group was in this posistion you had to decide Take a ship to Osterhold or Horses over the pass to Osterhold
Carissa: yeah but Vee isn't reminding them that land is an option
Carissa: BUT depending on how Lemon is feeling, it is an option to remind Lemon given the whole Levi family thing
BOB I just thought that Lemon's overwhelmed brain might need reminding
Carissa: yes very much
Carissa: if Lemon wants to hang more than deal with the family RP, I'm okay with that as long as Lemon hangs around :P
BOB Also Wendy do you like this bar?
Image: Seven Sirens
BOB As a place for the group to have as a home base?
BOB Wendy has never been here before right?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): only very briefly
wyjyoon: Oh okay the first part of the question by itself threw me off lol. I was like "is he asking my opinion on the design or"
Carissa (Vee Barlett): when we stopped here before heading to church of mist
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Mizzen we got her, then Osterhold, then Siren, then Temple, then Mist
BOB See we do not need a website we have Carissa
wyjyoon: I think it's alright? Gloria's Vee's sister, and it's a place everyone can get familiar with. Plus it's part of Osterhold, which means the group has access to more resources.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes and no, it's nice when other people can rely on not me :P
Lemon: I can probably do family RP, maybe
Carissa (Vee Barlett): not part of Osterhold
BOB Lemon zero pressure tonight
BOB This is a bonus episode
wyjyoon: OH it's not part of Osterhold?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): It's in.... whoops now we need the website. A name city
BOB a chance to talk relax and have fun with zero pressure
wyjyoon: Sorry I'm geographically challenged lol
BOB and tiny small beach town
BOB Osterhold is a big city
BOB at least for everyone here
Carissa (Vee Barlett): achild
Carissa (Vee Barlett): man I did know it but doubted myself
BOB until you get to the Capital on the south side of the island
Carissa (Vee Barlett): and Gloria is a half sister
BOB grins with Carissa
BOB Does Vee have any Non-half siblings?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Leo
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Leo was supposed to be....
Carissa (Vee Barlett): but he is mysterious and not present
BOB The Un-Met Leo
Carissa (Vee Barlett): correct
Vee Barlett: and the only one Vee considers an actual sibling because initially yes, he was direct blood relative
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooc me
wyjyoon (Temperance): Somehow I'm glad I decided to go with no family for Tempe
BOB LOL
Carissa (Vee Barlett): never fleshed it out too much beyond her being older sister - are they twins? different age? wth is going on with the mother situation? one day we'll find out maybe
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I love the family aspect.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): All my characters had some good family ties with N'laea the only iffy one
Carissa (Vee Barlett): is it just us three until Sharif
BOB Wendy other questions about the church and your place in it?
BOB that is IF he comes
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh yeah. What does being Lawful as a priestess look like? Is that just up to the player or... I just can't get my grip on this alignment thing in combination with the church
wyjyoon (Temperance): It doesn't help that most of the party seems chaotic
wyjyoon (Temperance): :D
BOB There is Lawful - Neutral - Chaos
BOB Lawful is rules should apply to everyone and that will be good for everyone
Lemon: I legitimately have never even considered my alignment, ever
Carissa (Vee Barlett): rangers generally need to be chaotic good
BOB Chaos is Everyone should do what they want and that will be good for everyone
BOB Neutral is the balance
BOB Good - Neutral - Evil
BOB Good, everyone should get a fair chance, everyone should have a fair share,
BOB Evil - I should get what I want, the rest who cares
BOB Lawful Good - the needs of the many out wieght the needs of the few
BOB Chaotic Good - the needs of the one outwiegh the needs of the many
BOB In rough terms
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh okay, that actually clarifies a lot of things
BOB If you are Lawful Evil - you are on the Supreme Court... but really you beleive the law shoudl be used to make yourself better off
BOB Chaotic Evil - you think that what you want shoudl be paramount and I can do what I want who cares what you think
BOB Which leaves many things up to attitude, so Lawful Evil Devils who believe in contracts to steal your soul
BOB Chaotic Angels who believe in smitting anyone who does not believe strongly enough in good
wyjyoon (Temperance): It seems like there's a lot more "collective vs the individual". I think the good and evil is a bit confusing for me just in terms of wording. The explanation clarified that part pretty well : )
BOB glad
BOB and it mirrors the CHURCH
Vee Barlett: stupid capital letters CHURCH
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ...wait maybe that is IC
wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol
BOB Overall the CHURCH wants people to do well, more people doing well means more worshipers and more worshipers means more power for a Goddess
BOB The Gods powers are "generated" by how many believers they have
BOB The difference in Major, Minor, Lesser Gods
BOB More power means more blessings to increase more worship
BOB and the virtious cycle feeds its self
wyjyoon (Temperance): Wow what have I gotten myself into lol
BOB Zero level farmers are worth 1 worshiper
BOB 7th level priestess is worth FAR more based on level and spells available
BOB a similar thing when accounting for building things as Lemon and Carissa have experienced
BOB But on a world wide scale instead of party level
BOB As you have seen Wendy you can play a Priestess and be mostly out of the polotics and general CHURCH things
BOB Politics
BOB ALso by the way Creation Station Monthly was about Audio Books, if you have not listened yet Carissa
BOB I know Lemon does not listen to me
BOB ;)
Lemon: lol
Carissa (Vee Barlett): not listened yet, usually takes me a month or two to maybe remember and maybe listen, lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): I... will have to reread chat log to wrap my head around the um CHURCH
BOB Grammy Nominated Narator on this month
wyjyoon (Temperance): But now that I'm back on discord I'll just send a message if I have questions
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I don't actually listen to a lot of audiobooks or podcasts. They fall in the "Media" category like TV. I'll listen to maybe 2 or 3 total a year. I prefer quiet reading OR blasting my music
BOB I will be disapointed if you do not have questions, grins
wyjyoon (Temperance): I always have questions, it's just a matter of coherently organizing and communicating them :D
BOB Eh organzing is for me you just fire away
wyjyoon (Temperance): Too late- my brain noodles demand it : P Silly noodly things
wyjyoon (Temperance): But that was all the questions I have... for now
BOB warm smile
BOB How is the summer for you Wendy and Lemon?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Summer is filled with little gremlins and work : ) And it's too hot to let them play outside to let out their energy
Lemon: I have zero interest in talking about my real life at this time lol
BOB They just need to be hosed down when outside no worries on that
BOB Laughs and HUGS Lemon
BOB No worries
BOB For an In Character thing for Temp, she could make a wisdom check
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh okay
BOB about something that she has not noticed in the last day or three
Temperance: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 18]
wyjyoon (Temperance): Wow goodbye
BOB So she did not notice it either
Vee Barlett: just tempe...?
BOB I will give Vee a Wisdom or Obseration check at a minus 2
wyjyoon (Temperance): Why did it freeze when I tried to roll lol
Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Wisdom [-2] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 8] [d20+2 = 22]
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ......
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 7]
wyjyoon (Temperance): Bob could I also roll observation
wyjyoon (Temperance): Or is that a no go
BOB Go for it
Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 1]
wyjyoon (Temperance): YES
Carissa (Vee Barlett): niceeee
Carissa (Vee Barlett): is this about the ghost monkey??
wyjyoon (Temperance): I heard the notification sound of BOB messaging me but it didn't pop up
-> Temperance: Temp has noticed that the Ghost Monkey and the other ghost creatures have not been seen at all outside of The Bowl, so on this side of the mountains
-> Vee Barlett: Yes but Vee did not have the insight needed
Carissa (Vee Barlett): sad face
Temperance: Hm... strange. The ghostly creatures haven't been frequenting as of late. There doesn't seem to be many of them on this side of the mountain.
Vee Barlett: So it probably was a spy for that lady.
wyjyoon (Temperance): (How is she noticing that they're not appearing as often just now if she was never able to see the ghost monkey? Wasn't Levi the only one who could see it?)
Temperance: A spy?
Lemon: Good. I was tired of that monkey anyway
Carissa (Vee Barlett): maybe she's noticing Levi not chasing things now, lol
Vee Barlett: Ya, for the "Lady of the Woods" or whatever her name was. Stuck up is what she was.
Levi Reed: Good. I was tired of that monkey anyway
BOB Yes to only Levi but now it has been 48 hours and Levi has gone from angy at the Monkey to saying he was ignoring the Monkey to now not talking about it at all
Temperance: Ah, I see. The one betrothed to... er, the Snow Man?
Temperance: furrows her brows to try and remember.
BOB There was also the lizard at the swamp witch hut
Vee Barlett: Yeah! She was all, "OH, I speak the water language but why speak it when no one understands us" THEN switches to the other stupid language only her husband know? How does that make sense? Bitch.
Vee Barlett: He weren't translatin' for her so wouldn't it have been nicer to speak somethin' I knew and translate for the group?
BOB more properly jungle witch than swamp witch
Temperance: Indeed. It would've been nice to know what they were speaking about. But perhaps it wasn't our business to know.
wyjyoon (Temperance): (The lizard ghost was the one that Mel saw, right?)
BOB Yes
Vee Barlett: Sure, but she shouldn't have been so stuck up about it.
Vee Barlett: Anyways, we're back at the ocean which is better anyways, and we're gonna see my family soon so I'll be in a better mood.
BOB and maybe ghost fish!
Levi Reed: Also, I think he was absolutely crazy. Somethign wrong with a guy who can't admit that he doesn't want a kill a child
Temperance: I would agree that he was a bit... eccentric. And difficult to understand.
Vee Barlett: Lots wrong with him. Thinkin' he's better than us, then thinkin' he can be all cryptic and shit THEN tryin' to accuse my dads of the same? He can go fuck himself. I don't mind if my dads don't tell me things 'cause I love them but I ain't know shit about snow dude so it's annoyin' when he does it. Ain't a comparison he think it be.
Vee Barlett: "Are your pa and "father" any less cyptics" Pfft, didn't like that dude at all.
Vee Barlett: Didn't even get dad right.
Vee Barlett: Well now I'm all riled up. We gonna get movin'?
Temperance: smiles warmly.
Temperance: Apologies for making you upset. I didn't mean to make you think of the past. Or unpleasant things.
Vee Barlett: Nah, I was already upset. Just wanted to hold my tongue
Vee Barlett: "in his domain" cause he might overhear.
Vee Barlett: You can hate some all ya want, but ya gotta know when to bite yer tongue and play nice.
Vee Barlett: So I was bottlin' it up until ya reminded me I can be angry now.
Temperance: Hm... well, I suppose that's to each their own. I'm glad you could release it all. I read somewhere that bottling up anger doesn't help your health.
Vee Barlett: Nah, spite and anger make ya live longer. You just gotta be smart about when ya unleash it is all.
Lila: Like bottling up a poison
Vee Barlett: Hey oh! What up, Lila!
Lila: Just cleaning
Vee Barlett: Gettin' some good fishin' lately?
Lila: Mostly
Lemon (Levi Reed): oh no
Lila: You know if you bottle that anger up inside.... you have to be careful what it affect
Lemon (Levi Reed): lol
Levi Reed: Hey, sis
Carissa (Vee Barlett): dun dun dunnnn
Levi Reed: How's it going
wyjyoon (Temperance): dramatic drum roll ensues
Vee Barlett: Eh, it's fineeee.
Lila: Levi, she nods
Lila: Have you given up you bottling up emotions in side?
Vee Barlett: Me or him? 'Cause mine always comes out eventually.
Levi Reed: I don't bottle them up inside, I use bottles to drink them away
Lila: Vee, love, you have never hidden your emotions
Vee Barlett: grins
Vee Barlett: Just makin' sure I ain't foolin' anyone.
Lila: Drowning only works once Levi you know that
Levi Reed: no comment
Vee Barlett: Nah, we got this priestess taggin' along now. She can bring him back apparently.
Lila: Looks around
BOB Anyone going to introduce her?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh sorry got distracted lol
Levi Reed: Her name is Temperance
Levi Reed: You'll probably like her. She thinks I'm an idiot.
Lila: Then she does not know you well enough
Temperance: Only on occasion. Most of the time you are not.
Lila: He has depths that idiot cannot fathom
Vee Barlett: snorts
Lila: See Vee understands a pun when she hears it
Temperance: tries her best not to smile.
Temperance: A pleasure to make your acquaintance. Lila, was it?
Lila: Aye, owner of the most.... hardworking fishing fleet on this side of the island
Levi Reed: Speaking of which
Levi Reed: Whatcha been doing with my boat lately?
Vee Barlett: Yeah, y'all got pretty boats!
Lila: Your boat?
Lila: Did you scrape any barnacles?
Lila: Did you sew any sails?
Levi Reed: You know what I meant
Levi Reed: The one dad keeps calling mine
Lila: Did you caulk any hull?
Lila: He said you could have a ship to work
Vee Barlett: Only if you mean it as a euphanism....
Lila: Have you done any work?
Vee Barlett: He did kill some weird plant things. Not sure that count?
Levi Reed: I've done lots of work. Chased down a chupacabra, saved a farmer... um
Vee Barlett: The mushroom men. Ya can't forget those bastards.
Levi Reed: Yeah killed some pod people who were eating people and turning them into plants
Temperance: Fought a shambling mound, destroyed some odd pod creatures...
Levi Reed: Yep
Levi Reed: All that
Levi Reed: Plus fought off a gang terrorizing Gloria's place
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Lila: If your friends vouch for you like that, good for them, and you
Levi Reed: Did some errands for the church
Vee Barlett: To be fair, ya point him in a direction, and he got machetes? He does actually do work.
Vee Barlett: As long as water ain't involved.
Lila: That is the issue isn't it, a fishing ship... is on the water....
Levi Reed: Yeah, so like. I told you you could do wahtever you wanted with it yeah?
Lila: This is true
Vee Barlett: Like it suppose to be. And when I need someone to row, he good at that.
Levi Reed: But I know you don't have enough people to run all the boats right now
Lila: So why did you call it your ship?
Levi Reed: So just wondering whatcha been doing with it
Lila: Fishing
Lila: Who said we do not have enough people?
Lila: Those layabout lying Yillip clan better shut their mouths
Levi Reed: The family has five boats and only three kids who want to be on them
Levi Reed: Mom doesn't fish
Levi Reed: So that leaves one extra
Lila: We have crew
Lila: We do not leave a ship on the shore
Levi Reed: And you let the crew take a boat without a family member supervising? That'd be a new one
Vee Barlett: Any of them headed to Osterhold?
Lila: No fishing up that way
Lila: The head is not safe for everyday folk
Levi Reed: Well, I was thinking maybe we could take it and run some errands for you. Pick up some new supplies in Osterhold if you're getting low on anything
Vee Barlett: But good sellin' there, yeah?
Lila: You have an actual crew?
Levi Reed: ... yes...
Lila: Why do you want to go to the big city?
Levi Reed: Vee's been captaining a bigger ship than that when we did the errands for the church, she's very good
Vee Barlett: Gotta see my family.
Vee Barlett: And priestess gotta do church things.
Lila: YOU want to see yoru family? or?
Vee Barlett: tilts head
Vee Barlett: Or?
Levi Reed: And I just want to help out the family. I don't want to fish, but I mean... I haven't really pulled my weight and I'd like to do SOMETHING to help a little
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Artistic Ability [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 14]
Lemon (Levi Reed): Does artistic ability count for lies?
BOB grins it can help
Lila: So you Priestess, Temperance is it?
Temperance: Yes.
Lila: Can you do those swearing on a holy relic?
Lila: Quest or you die sort of powers?
wyjyoon (Temperance): (swearing on a what now)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): geas
BOB Geas like what they did to Jericho
Carissa (Vee Barlett): that was before wendy
Carissa (Vee Barlett): she caught the end of it
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh god am I doing one of those
wyjyoon (Temperance): Not if I can help it
Carissa (Vee Barlett): not to that level, no
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh whew
Carissa (Vee Barlett): that's a very high leve spell, you might not have the lower version either
wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't think I do
BOB Bestow minor curse?
wyjyoon (Temperance): OH I do have Curse
BOB There you go
wyjyoon (Temperance): But I need unholy water
Carissa (Vee Barlett): spit in your jar of holy water :)
Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, I'm fine with you lying to her and telling her no lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol was it that simple
BOB Need an appropriate type of holy item
BOB To cast a spell on Levi curse, etc
Lemon (Levi Reed): no thank you
Lila: I know someone from the Church will not let me down
Lila: They have come every year from the Temple of Orange Sunsets to bless the fleet
Temperance: Ah, if you're speaking about Blessings, I am capable of casting those.
Lila: I want a curse on Levi to ensure he remembers his promises and his duty to his family
Levi Reed: Tempe isn't the cursing type
Lila: I want the power of the Church to compel him to bring back our ship
Lila: If I let him leave my sight with it
Levi Reed: Oh, I'll bring it back as soon as I can, I'll swear on whatever I have to for that
Levi Reed: I don't want to keep it, I promise
Levi Reed: Being on the water long term sounds terrible
Levi Reed: Hell, being on the water SHORT term sounds terrible, but
Vee Barlett: He gonna be with me. That gotta count for somethin'
Temperance: Do you believe he will not return it otherwise? From what I know he has more interest in botany. And cryptids.
Vee Barlett: I don't take it easy when I'm captainin'
Temperance: Neither of those have to do with ships.
Lila: Vee, do you think YOU would trust you to bring back a ship once you had a hold of it?
Levi Reed: We kinda got roped into the church stuff and I thought, let me see if I can help my family out while we do these stupid church errands we're stuck with
Vee Barlett: Depends on the ship, but uh, next question, please.
Lila: Laughs
Levi Reed: She's got grander plans than a fishing vessel
Vee Barlett: True, boat nice and all, but I want a SHIP.
Levi Reed: And we got this mage... she's not here right now, but she's a FANTASTIC first mate, right Vee?
Lila: So we need your Priestess Temperance, really? Just Temperance? no titles at all? Just how good can you be without any titles?
Vee Barlett: Oh, Lirt? Damn, that girl smart and snappy. Sea Witch. You'd like her, Lila.
Lila: Lirtima? She made somethign of herself?
Levi Reed: Yeah, sea witch, that
Vee Barlett: Yeah, her! She my first mate!
Vee Barlett: Damn good on the sea.
Lila: Huh I remember her just nose in a book all the time
Levi Reed: And her and Tempe are real smart and make good choices, and they outvote me every time I want to do something stupid
Vee Barlett: Still is when wes at the tavern, but all them book readin' actually bein' put to good use.
Lila: She was good at off loading things
Vee Barlett: Good at readin' the weather, avigatin' and keepin' crew in line.
Lila: Out Vote you? I thought you had machettes? Why would you let others tell you what to do?
Levi Reed: Well, they got magic
Lila: Ahh you are scared
Vee Barlett: Oh me? Yeah. He should be.
Vee Barlett: *of
Levi Reed: It's pretty frustrating, not going to lie about that. But the boat will be as safe as possible with them. They won't let me do anything stupid AND they'll make me bring it back, even if I went insane and suddenly didn't want to
Lila: So Temperance, what can you do to make me feel like the church has my back in this?
Temperance: Well... other than cursing your brother to bring your boats back, I can try to see if I can return you something in addition to the boat.
Lila: I would rather have the boat back than my brother back to be honest
Vee Barlett: low whistle
Temperance: Ah, is that so? Unfortunately I cannot grant him disappearing.
Lila: Not saying to make him disapear, I do not want to harm him
Lila: I just have to deal with the catch that I have, not the catch that I want
Lila: And Levi cannot be depended on
Temperance: I see. And why not?
Lila: You say he has done good things out there
Vee Barlett: Oh he ain't comin' back to work for the family. That what ya mean?
Lila: Has any of that helped his family?
Temperance: You want him to do things to help the family business?
Lila: Vee? How many times have you gone home and seen your family? helped them out?
Vee Barlett: Lots of times.
Lila: How many times has Levi?
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Vee Barlett: Ain't my business.
Lila: You want to take one of our ships, that is my business
Vee Barlett: nugs Levi and tries to discreetly remind him of his wallet
Vee Barlett: Borrow. I ain't gonna steal from yer family.
Lila: Once it is over the horizon can't say when it will be back
Levi Reed: Oh hey, I almost forgot!
Vee Barlett: Mhmm, yep. And that means some lost wages, yeah? So maybe some gold would help?
Levi Reed: Church gave us some money, and I wanted to bring some home for the family. I got 10 gold here for you guys, I can either give it to you now, or take it to Osterhold and buy you supplies with it. Your choice
Lila: Purses her lips
Vee Barlett: tries to not grimace and discreetly waves hand up saying that's too cheap
Lemon (Levi Reed): What! 10 gold is a lot!
wyjyoon (Temperance): I thought it was a lot too
Vee Barlett: Thinkin' maybe 10 gold deposit? Then we discuss rest once we back dependin' how long it takes?
wyjyoon (Temperance): How big and luxurious is this boat?
BOB a fishign boat is 350 GP to purchase
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki-old/pmwiki.php?n=Main.ShipsAndWaterTravel">(LINK)</a>
Levi Reed: You gonna pay her, Vee? Because I only got so much I can spare on me
Vee Barlett: You got more, you cheapstake.
Levi Reed: kicks Vee
Vee Barlett: takes it
Lemon (Levi Reed): yeah, but I don't get more, everything keeps going into the party pack lol. Don't leave me broke!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol it gets distributed and we can divy it up again some
Carissa (Vee Barlett): and/or use party pack gold for this
wyjyoon (Temperance): According to the party pack Tempe doesn't have any gold
Carissa (Vee Barlett): remember we aren't BUYING a boat so does not need to be 350 g
wyjyoon (Temperance): I wanted to see if I could chip in
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yeah we need to do that, but that'll be another time
Carissa (Vee Barlett): party pack on site needs updating anyways
Levi Reed: Ok, fine. I'll be less selfish.
Levi Reed: 10 for the family, and 10 for supplies. That's my final offer
Levi Reed: And I'll take a curse if necessary, as long as it doesn't have a short deadline like that one Jericho had
Lila: AND your priestess here does her magic on you to have you bring our ship back
Vee Barlett: Oooh can the curse involve....wait no, I don't want it to involve Jericho. Kid was bad luck.
Lila: What sort of deadline was that? Who is Jericho?
Levi Reed: And scared of the dark
Vee Barlett: Priest Levi was.... was you hittin' on him, Lev? I couldn't tell if it was hittin' on him or teasin' him
Levi Reed: Another priest who was hanging around for awhile. He was a good kid but...
Levi Reed: Nah, I was teasing him
Temperance: Had his heart in the right place for the most part... I think?
Vee Barlett: Well he was with the Temple and kept gettin' us caught up in his mess so glad he busy elsewhere right now.
Vee Barlett: Couldn't even climb a rope.
Temperance: More personable than I would ever learn to be.
Levi Reed: Yeah, trouble followed him, that's for sure
Vee Barlett: So we gonna curse Levi? What kinda curse? One where he loses his pinky finger? His hair turn blue? He gotta go swimmin' ever other day or he dies???
Temperance: exhales softly and flips through her notes for details on cursing.
Vee Barlett: Too much to hope we can curse him into a fish?
wyjyoon (Temperance): So, just to clarify, the curse spell is the reverse of bless, right?
wyjyoon (Temperance): That's the one we're talking about?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): believe so
BOB Yes, there is also Minor Curse, will check if that is in FG and the level
Carissa (Vee Barlett): bestow curse? it's a level 3 spell but not sure you can do that yet?
wyjyoon (Temperance): I'm not sure if I have "Minor Curse" specifically
BOB But effectively you pick a calamity that will befall Levi if he does not complete a task,
BOB Yes so that would be a third level spell
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Tempe can always act it out and pretend she did it.... if she doesn't have it, lol
BOB so you will have to be creative in what and how she phrases things
wyjyoon (Temperance): Okay, so she doesn't necessarily have the spell, but will pretend to curse Levi in an attempt to convince Lila?
Vee Barlett: (LINK)(Priest_Spell)
<a href="https://adnd2e.fandom.com/wiki/Bestow_Minor_Curse_">(LINK)</a>
Carissa (Vee Barlett): This has a lovely list of ideas
'Shislif' connected
Lemon (Levi Reed): That's an even better deal than Levi expected lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): Is low Charisma going to effect her ability to deceive?
BOB As an example could do a Zone of Truth that forces Levi and anyone in it to be totally honest
Lemon (Levi Reed): It says there is no text on that page when I click it?
BOB Hey there Sharif
Levi Reed: Hey baby, meet my sister, Lila
Carissa (Vee Barlett): huh weird, but the bald one sticks out to me
Lemon (Levi Reed): I was going to say that OOC but thought it might be too weird
Carissa (Vee Barlett): and dunno but...
Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi could rock a bald look
MeLange: Hi everyone :)
Shislif (MeLange): ooc
wyjyoon (Temperance): I mean I could also do Zone of Truth, but then everyone within the vicinity would be forced to tell the truth, which means....
Vee Barlett: IF Tempe can't do it, she can drag Levi to the Cathedral to get it done. Maybe curse him to be bald.
BOB There is Mind Read also for Temp
Carissa (Vee Barlett): hi sharif!
BOB LOTS of options for her to be creative and get things she wants :)
Levi Reed: All the truth stuff is maybe not the best idea... he DOES want to bring the boat back when he's done with it, but he's not being honest about his motivation lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
wyjyoon (Temperance): I could do the Mind Read and say that what he's saying is what he is thinking?
BOB Take your time Wendy to think up ideas and ask OOC as you need
wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, I'll look through and think on it for a while : )
BOB As Sharif gets caught up then you are on again ;P
wyjyoon (Temperance): Also hey Sharif : ) Mel's meeting Lila now
Shislif (MeLange): Oh ok cool :)
Levi Reed: Lila, this is MeLange
Levi Reed: does not elaborate further
MeLange: Hi there
Carissa (Vee Barlett): as long as you leave lots of time for vee and her family :P
Lila: MeLange
MeLange: Yes, my friends call me Mel, you can call me MeLange
MeLange: for now
BOB I think that is next session Carissa to give us the full opportunity
Lila: Thank you Melange
MeLange: I kinda got lost in a though before, what are we talking about again?
MeLange: thought
Carissa (Vee Barlett): that means waiting three weeks!! ughhhh
Carissa (Vee Barlett): and I might have horses that night
Shislif (MeLange): oh right I forgot
Lila: Levi is trying to find a way to covince me that he shoudl take one of our fishing fleet
Vee Barlett: Tempe cursin' Levi so we can borrow a boat.
BOB only two missed sessions now after tonight
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes so three weeks
BOB and hurricane will disrupt horses
Carissa (Vee Barlett): in prime horse racing season
MeLange: always with the boats!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): pffft not unless it hits england
Lila: Do you have any skills on a boat MeLange?
Vee Barlett: Strongest swimmer and rower I ever met.
MeLange: Not really, but I am pretty strong, some things that need strength like pulling up sails or rowing, I can be of use. AND I'm a strong swimmer, just to brag
MeLange: Oh right, what Vee said
MeLange: Thanks Vee
MeLange smiles
Vee Barlett: Just makin' sure you brag.
Vee Barlett: grins
Lila: So you are NOT a good listener
MeLange: What was that Lila?
Nods
Lila: I can see what Levi sees in you
MeLange: Hey, I figure we all got things that make us special, just takes time to see them
wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok so. I think we have some options about that spellcasting.
MeLange: and effort
MeLange: luck doesn't hurt either
Lila: So you want to take one of our ships Levi, and you have Vee, Lirtimya and this strong man MeLange along with your Priestess without a title Temperance
User has gone AFK. (Carissa)
wyjyoon (Temperance): 1. We can pretend to curse Levi and hope Lila believes it.
Lila: Is that enough to crew a ship?
wyjyoon (Temperance): 2. I can cast Mind Read and say that Levi has good intentions with the boat
MeLange: suppose it depends in the ship?
wyjyoon (Temperance): 3. I can cast Frisky Chest on one of Levi's possessions, which means that object will continue to run away from him until he brings the boat back
Lila: Levi said he was going to take things to Osterhold
Levi Reed: Oh we also got Rothuss
Levi Reed: But he's probably still asleep
Lila: Who?
Lila: Who is Rothuss?
BOB Wendy Zone of Truth affects everyone in side of it, including the caster
wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, which is why I didn't count it as an option. Also Lemon didn't think it was a good idea since Levi is lying about his intentions
BOB grins
wyjyoon (Temperance): And we don't want him to spill his guts about why he's REALLY taking the boat : D
BOB you can do multiple spells, with the durations overlapping, unless they require concentration
BOB and HAH
BOB I am not telling you what to do, just making sure you know options
wyjyoon (Temperance): I can? I just assumed all spells required some form of concentration to cast
BOB Most will explictl say concentration
wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, just wanted to know if you guys had an opinion on what you wanted. Especially Lemon, since it's Levi Tempe has to cast on
BOB If it is an Area of Effect spell
wyjyoon (Temperance): Or spell will effect Levi for however long
BOB AoE (Area of Effect) then often it is cast and then do other things
Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi will trust Temperance's judgement
BOB And Levi's sister is wearing off on him with all the full formal names :)
wyjyoon (Temperance): So Mind Read is not an AoE kind of spell. But Frisky Chest is, which means I can cast that and then do the Mind Read
wyjyoon (Temperance): If I so wanted?
BOB Which may also trigger a thoughtful time for Temperance in that she should think on her full formal titles
wyjyoon (Temperance): I mean... to be honest BOB Tempe doesn't care about titles
Carissa (Vee Barlett): the cathedral will make you care
BOB That is a thought for her too
wyjyoon (Temperance): I mean, she will use it if the Cathedral forces her to for formal functions but... she'll probably put it off for as long as she can
Levi Reed: Yeah, and everyone she meets will care
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
BOB So Frisky Chest is a touch spell, on one object, Mind read is a spell cast on one creature
User has gone AFK. (Carissa)
BOB On the subject of titles she has been gone long enough to earn new ones so she gets to decide what she wants to be known as
BOB Depth of the pod men
BOB Glen of the Ghost Monkey
BOB She can be creative
BOB or be traditional in Depth of the Anenome
BOB Depth of the Dolphin
wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol I'll think about it : ) I think I like the pod men
wyjyoon (Temperance): Because it has to do with plants
BOB Heigth of the zombie albatros
wyjyoon (Temperance): Kinda
wyjyoon (Temperance): Do I have to decide now or can it be done later?
BOB later
BOB just pointing out that Laila uses everyone's formal name
wyjyoon (Temperance): Eh, Lila can deal with it : )
BOB and she has mentioned Temperance does not seem to have a title, or at least has not shared it
Lemon (Levi Reed): I didn't know priests could pick their own titles? Or is that because this religion is still being fleshed out ooc?
BOB Semi both, in this Religion Priests pick the characteristic, but the Circle of is standard
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki-old/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Keldorian">(LINK)</a>
BOB Temperance is the Third Circle based on Level
BOB and then the characteristic is based on life experience
wyjyoon (Temperance): Ah okay. I'll read up on it and try to decide : )
BOB Valpork of Hiltorn Priest of Lorin Initiate of the 5th Circle, Depths of the Manta Ray, Octopi and Perpetual Twilight. So named for his ability to handle multiple problems at once and glide through calm waters easily, but is afraid to test the full depth of his abilities.
wyjyoon (Temperance): Lots of metaphors
BOB In Agowah
BOB Pescal Olmeter, Master of the sixth circle, eyesight of the fishhawk, friend of the sirens and explorer of the inky depths is the priest in charge of the temple
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki-old/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Borinquen-Agowah">(LINK)</a>
BOB Hilde Finn - Mistress of the fourth circle, believer of sunsets, greeter of the sunrise, tangled as the mangrove, depth of the banyan root is in charge of the first and second circle in the population of the Temple of Orange Sunsets. Widely believed to be capable of the sixth circle but has chosen to stay and watch over the Temple grounds.
BOB As examples
wyjyoon (Temperance): Hilde's the one that spoke to Vee from the Temple of Orange Sunsets, right?
BOB Yes
wyjyoon (Temperance): Or was that Michel
BOB Yes
BOB grins
BOB both
wyjyoon (Temperance): Too many priests
BOB Joycelyn Pemberton - Speed of a clam is a Security Initiate for Temple security
BOB BUT back to the topic at hand, enspelling Levi to do Temperance's bidding
wyjyoon (Temperance): Sorry Levi : )
Shislif (MeLange): hey new word of the dayfor me, enspelling!
wyjyoon (Temperance): Does he have an item or possession that might be of value to him?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Except gold
wyjyoon (Temperance): I'd do his machetes but he kinda needs those
wyjyoon (Temperance): In case... you know, he needs to fight
Lemon (Levi Reed): What happens to the thing? It just runs away from him forever? Do other people see it? Can they steal it?
wyjyoon (Temperance): So, if cast on said item, the item sprouts legs and then moves a specific distance away from him
Frisky Chest
wyjyoon (Temperance): Or sprouts wings and flies away
User has gone AFK. (Carissa)
wyjyoon (Temperance): Or grows fins and swims away
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah, that seems too easy for someone to mess with
wyjyoon (Temperance): I guess someone could try to steal it
Lemon (Levi Reed): Like someone can just steal it and it's gone forever
Lemon (Levi Reed): And then where's his motivation to return the boat? lol. He'll be mad about the lost item
wyjyoon (Temperance): I didn't think about it in that sense, but now that you mention it, yeah
BOB refilling as you discuss ideas
BOB brb
wyjyoon (Temperance): They could steal it or destroy it
wyjyoon (Temperance): I guess Mind Read it is
Lemon (Levi Reed): I do like the spell, but not for this particular task
Lemon (Levi Reed): That could be a super fun one when you're trying to burn spells at the end of the night though. Just for fun
wyjyoon (Temperance): Eh, I threw it in just for fun : ) But yeah, if I need to burn spell slots I'll have to try it out
Lemon (Levi Reed): Or for a prank on Rothuss
wyjyoon (Temperance): LOL
Lemon (Levi Reed): Awww, I miss Bixi. She used to like to do magic pranks.
wyjyoon (Temperance): Tempe's first magical prank
wyjyoon (Temperance): To be determined : )
wyjyoon (Temperance): Is BIxi on the Dragonslayers character page?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Or was it before FGU
Lemon (Levi Reed): She's probably on there. I never wrote anything about her though.
BOB back
wyjyoon (Temperance): Aw : ( I'd have loved to read about her
wyjyoon (Temperance): She sounds like fun
BOB There are LOTS of chat logs with Bixi in it
wyjyoon (Temperance): Then it'll be sometime on the Fridays when we're not doing sessions : )
BOB So ideas on Levi convincing his sister he will bring the ship back
wyjyoon (Temperance): Currently, the ideal choice is Mind Read
wyjyoon (Temperance): For spells
BOB and 20 gold
BOB ?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, that too
Lemon (Levi Reed): yeah
wyjyoon (Temperance): I thought that was already discussed though
Lemon (Levi Reed): Well, 10. And then when we get to the city, I buy roughly 10g worth of supplies to bring back
BOB Just stacking up the bonuses grins
Lemon (Levi Reed): Lila's going to have a nice vacation day, probably
wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol does she even want to go on vacation
Lemon (Levi Reed): Unknown
wyjyoon (Temperance): With her mind stuck on the family business and all
wyjyoon (Temperance): Fair
BOB Any ideas Carissa? Sharif?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Carissa is AFK
Shislif (MeLange): I'm a lil lost tbh lol
BOB enlighten him Lemon
Shislif (MeLange): be warned, many have tried Lemon :)
Shislif (MeLange): So we're trying to find a way to get Lila to give Levi a ship?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Well, we're trying to convince Levi's sister to let him borrow a family boat
Shislif (MeLange): and this is about trying to do that with magic? or like magic options?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Yeah he offered money, but it wasn't enough
User has gone AFK. (Carissa)
Shislif (MeLange): Oh that's his sister!!
Lemon (Levi Reed): She also wants him cursed
wyjyoon (Temperance): Which Tempe isn't doing
Shislif (MeLange): Wel clearly Mel should sleep with her, besides attraction stuff, she'd probably get off more on making Levi jealous
BOB Geas to magically ensure he returns the ship, not a curse afterall
Shislif (MeLange): Plus Mel is still kinda upset about the whole do not rescucitate thing
Shislif (MeLange): however you spell it
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oof, sorry about that
wyjyoon (Temperance): I didn't mean for it spin into that heated of a discussion
Shislif (MeLange): Oh I thought it was good
wyjyoon (Temperance): It was fun for me too! But yeah, I understand why Mel would be upset
Shislif (MeLange): good bit of drama, can't have everything smooth sailing all the time
wyjyoon (Temperance): Fair point
Shislif (MeLange): So anyway, that's what comes to mind right now, unless there's a magic option
wyjyoon (Temperance): So is Geas something Tempe can cast, or is that out of her hands to do? Because if so, Mind Read is what she's gonna go for
BOB Geas is the next level of Spells up from what she can currently cast
BOB at least one level
wyjyoon (Temperance): Gotcha, just needed that clarification : )
wyjyoon (Temperance): So Mind Read, 20 gold, and Mel flirts?
Lemon (Levi Reed): With my SISTER?
Shislif (MeLange): Sounds like best we got
Mind Read
Lemon (Levi Reed): sorry, need to afk for like 5 minutes
User has gone AFK. (Lemon)
Shislif (MeLange): all good
Shislif (MeLange): Prolly best if she doesn't know what we're up to anyway teehee
wyjyoon (Temperance): LOL
Shislif (MeLange): Is Lila married?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Her last words before afk: "With my SISTER?"
wyjyoon (Temperance): I don't... think so?
Shislif (MeLange): seems to imply she wasn't aware of my proposal lol
BOB What will you do with the Mind Read spell?
Shislif (MeLange): maybe mind read as Mel is chatting her up and somehow give Mel a heads up or something?
wyjyoon (Temperance): I figured I just cast on Levi to ensure Lila that he intends on bringing it back
wyjyoon (Temperance): But yeah she could cast it on Lila too
Shislif (MeLange): ohhh ok, well yea if you can do both then why not
wyjyoon (Temperance): I'd have to do it one subject at a time though, so it'll take two spell slots
Shislif (MeLange): but if you have to pick one go with whichever is best
BOB just pointing out that Temp says she casts it on Levi, and then she tells Lila what ever she wants to because only Temp knows the results of the spell
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ok sorry had to do something but mostly here again
Shislif (MeLange): Meh, in the case of Mel and Lila I'd say just save it for something more useful
Shislif (MeLange): that sly Temp
Shislif (MeLange): may be useful to know what Lila is thinking though
wyjyoon (Temperance): The other option was she pretends to curse Levi and then lies to Lila that his hair will turn blue or something if he doesn't
Shislif (MeLange): if Temp already did it on Levi then no need to double dip i don't think
wyjyoon (Temperance): She hasn't cast Mind Read yet, no : ) But if casting on Lila would be useful she doesn't mind doing it on her too
Shislif (MeLange): Well sounds like you gotta decision to make :)
wyjyoon (Temperance): Either way it's up to Lila on what she wants to believe
Shislif (MeLange): yea true
wyjyoon (Temperance): Unless Temp is like "if you don't believe me I'll prove it by reading your mind"
MeLange: Oh hey Lila!
wyjyoon (Temperance): But I highly doubt Lila wants to be mind read up front
Shislif (MeLange): yea prolly best to leave it so it doesn't backfire
Shislif (MeLange): or I mean it could, not that it would
wyjyoon (Temperance): We'll do Levi first, and then see where it goes from there? If it's necessary for Lila too she'll just do it discreetly
MeLange: I just wanna apologize about before, I've been so distracted by stuff lately, I didn't realize who I was talking to
Lila: Finishes her drink
Lila: That is fair MeLange
MeLange: I'm actually very excited to meet you. I assume you're aware of how I feel about your brother
Lila: I do not know
Lila: He has never said anything about you
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh are we still at the Seven Seas? Or are we at Levi's family's house?
wyjyoon (Temperance): *Seven Sirens
MeLange: well that stings a little
BOB Still at Seven Sirens
wyjyoon (Temperance): Okie dokes : )
Lila: Levi has not been home until now
MeLange: Fair point
Lila: After he ran off to avoid work
MeLange: He does that a lot actually
Lila: I will not defend him
Lila: For that
Carissa (Vee Barlett): wait we're at the tavern? why is Lila here not Lemonshire?
MeLange: Still, despite that, I don't think I've ever met a person quite so... beautiful, Levi
BOB no one asked that
Carissa (Vee Barlett): didn't know we were at the tavern
Vee Barlett: Why you here anyways, Lila?
wyjyoon (Temperance): ^ Same here
Lila: Came in from the storm
Lila: put in here for the night, leaving tomorrow
MeLange: Well that's quite the coincidence! Crazy thing this life we live eh?
Temperance: Ah, are you heading back home?
Temperance: Or are you heading elsewhere?
Lila: I am glad you think Levi is beautiful MeLange
Vee Barlett: mocks gag
Lila: I am going home in the morning, taking my catch to be dried and salted
Temperance: I see. That does sound like hard work. You didn't bring anyone with you to help?
MeLange: I also see that beauty runs in the family Lila.
Lila: Of course my crew is sleeping it off right now
Lila: Gloria got me some rooms
Vee Barlett: Who with ya? Anyone I'm interested in?
Lila: Why would you be intrested in anyone on my crew Vee?
Vee Barlett: Dunno unless I know who it is.
Vee Barlett: grins
Lila: You need a girlfriend Vee
Lila: Turns to Temperance
Vee Barlett: Eh, not longterm.
Lila: So what can you do to make me believe that Levi is going to return my ship?
Vee Barlett: Shave his head?
Temperance: I have this particular spell that I think could be suitable. It has to do with probing his thoughts. Should he cooperate, I would be able to discern that he keep his promise.
MeLange: Lila, I can assure you that he will return the ship. I give my word that if he doesn't, it's because we're all dead. And because I could not love one who goes back on their word
Temperance: You could have him shave, but I do not have the brute strength to hold him down if he's unwilling.
MeLange: but we won't all die, so you'll get your ship back
Vee Barlett: Nah, just gotta get him drunk or wait until he asleep.
Lila: Temperance can you make MeLange loose his strength if Levi does not keep his promise?
MeLange: whoa what?
Temperance: furrows her brows.
Lila: MeLange you say you trust him and you will keep his word for him
MeLange: Yea?
MeLange: But I need my strength
Lila: So if Levi fails to bring back the ship when you promise he will, why should you not suffer?
MeLange: Unexpected is all
MeLange: But you're right
Temperance: So you are saying that because Melange states he trusts Levi to return the ship, should Levi not, then Melange should suffer part of the consequences.
Lila: Yes that seems fair
MeLange: Not that I trust him to do it on his own, that I would ensure he does
Lila: If Levi does believe so much in MeLange, and if MeLange trusts Levi then their fates can be tied together
Temperance: flips through the pages of her notes once more.
MeLange: Well alright then, if that's the price and there no alternative, then sign me up
Temperance: As long as both parties are willing, I will see what I can do.
MeLange: Boy this family I swear
MeLange: Parents must be a trip
wyjyoon (Temperance): So... some unfortunate news, I'm not sure if I have spells that effect a person's strength
Shislif (MeLange): Maybe Lila has access to such a spell?
wyjyoon (Temperance): First she asks for a curse then she asks for Mel's strength to be taken away- neither of which I can do
wyjyoon (Temperance): Does she? I don't know if she's a spellcaster
BOB So Temperance has to be creative in how she phrases her things
wyjyoon (Temperance): So she's going to deceive her?
BOB Lila is a sailor fisherwoman
BOB I did not say that
wyjyoon (Temperance): Then... ?
BOB "MeLange do you swear to ensure that Levi will return this ship back to his sister or you will lose your mighty strength"
wyjyoon (Temperance): I mean-
wyjyoon (Temperance): That technically indicates that she'll have the ability or resource
Shislif (MeLange): is Lila saying that?
Shislif (MeLange): oh that's just an example right?
BOB No that is OOC
wyjyoon (Temperance): To ensure the consequence should things not happen the way they should
BOB and Temperance can get those resources if needed
BOB she is part of the Church
MeLange: Oh hey Lila, how do you think we should uhhh... SEAL the deal
MeLange: You know if I might lose all this strength, may as well enjoy it while I got it right?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lmao
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh okay! I get it now! Say it first, follow through with it later?
Lila: I expect Priestess Temperance here to use her magic to ensure you have Levi bring my ship back
MeLange: ugh... fine!
Temperance: Alright, then.
MeLange: Guess I'll just enjoy my strength all by myself tonight then
Temperance: clears her throat a bit, opening a fresh page in her notebook.
Temperance: Melange, do you solemnly swear that you will pay the price through the loss of your strength should Levi not keep his promise to return the boat?
Temperance: putting in writing as she speaks.
wyjyoon (Temperance): (In hindsight I should've waited for Lemon. She would've wanted a say in this)
MeLange: Do I have to be solemnly?
Temperance: stares very seriously into his eyes.
