Levi Reed: Why does my head need to be slapped?
Lemon (Levi Reed): ooc
Lemon (Levi Reed): But kinda works lol
wyjyoon: lol
Carissa: lol
Rothuss Carder: It's better than shanking

Vee Barlett: be careful sleeping in too long....
Carissa (Vee Barlett): ooc
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): but how permanent is Rothuss' doodles on his face?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): more than a simple bucket of water on a ship will remove
wyjyoon (Temperance): I put semi-permanent in summary because I wasn't sure lol
Rothuss Carder: squats down next to their bunks.
Rothuss Carder: Ladies, time to wake up.
Rothuss Carder: taps them on their shoulders.
Temperance: rubs her eyes and stretches.
Temperance: 'm up, I'm up.
Lirtimya: Sits up, and prepares for the final shift
Temperance: blinks at Rothuss' face.
Temperance: What happened to you?
Lirtimya: Trying a new look out?
Rothuss Carder: Apparently I'm practicing for a new role in the group - if you run out of paper, I'm your replacement.
Rothuss Carder: grins
Lirtimya: I'll keep that in mind
Temperance: muffles a laugh.
Temperance: I'm glad you're at least positive about it.
Rothuss Carder: Fun is fun, and payback is even more fun.
Levi Reed: go away
Temperance: Good luck with that.
Temperance: shakes her head and climbs above board.
Rothuss Carder: cracks his knuckles.
Rothuss Carder: Oh, definitely.
Rothuss Carder: rolls into an empty bunk.
Lirtimya: Makes her way to the helm of the ship

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 16]
Lirtimya: Smelting the dice down, forging new ones, and giving them a test roll! [10d4+10d6+10d8+10d10+10d12+10d20 = 304]
Temperance: Smelting the dice down, forging new ones, and giving them a test roll! [10d4+10d6+10d8+10d10+10d12+10d20 = 357]

Temperance: does not notice much in the dark.
Lirtimya: Has lost where they are, and can't seem to figure out where they got to
Levi Reed: Pretty sure we're on the right track, just keep going
Lirtimya: I'll just keep us going in this direction, or if you both feels it's a better idea we could drop anchor instead
Temperance: Might as well keep going? I think Vee was on watch before ours. She might've steered us in the right direction. I hope.
Levi Reed: Heck no, we're not dropping anchor. Vee will murder us if we stop for no reason
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (anchor was down for 2nd watch)
Temperance: walks and sees if the anchor is still dropped.
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I failed obs. roll, so Lirt probably didn't notice that
Temperance: I... stand corrected? Might as well keep going, right? I'm not too sure about whether this thing is anchored, though.
Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 6]
wyjyoon (Temperance): oh now it decides to work
BOB The seas seem to be calm and safe
Levi Reed: Just keep sailing just keep sailing
Lirtimya: If it's anchored I say we keep it anchored, the ship might've gotten turned around while sitting still
Levi Reed: Well, you're the first mate for a reason, I'll defer to you
Levi Reed: And blame you if Vee gets cranky about it
Temperance: nods in understanding.
Temperance: I'm sure Vee will understand.
Lirtimya: Better to stay still than get farther away
Temperance: She might have temper, but she knows her ships.
Temperance: The waters are appearing calm, at least.
Levi Reed: She does, and so does Lirt. So she might also be like 'why'd you keep us anchored, you dumdums? It was perfect sailing weather!'
Temperance: Hm... flip a coin, then?
Levi Reed: I'm going with whatever Lirt wants, she's the navigator
Levi Reed: But I'm not taking any blame for a wrong choice, either!
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I'm assuming by "the seas seem to be calm and safe" there's also not much wind?
BOB Correct
Temperance: We'll try our best to keep you out of shanking range.
Temperance: grins lightly.
Lirtimya: This much wind may not be able to move us far anyways, so whichever we end up doing we probably won't get far
Lirtimya: Do either of you have a coin?
Temperance: rummages in her bag for one.
Temperance: Perhaps...?
wyjyoon (Temperance): (leaving it up to bob)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): y'all got gold coins....
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm sure we'd all have coins
BOB Yes you do
Lemon (Levi Reed): Levi is just not getting involved in a coin flip lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh well in that case
wyjyoon (Temperance): What do I roll for flipping a coin?
wyjyoon (Temperance): If I have to roll?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): d2 and call it 1 or 2, lol
Temperance: finds a coin in her bag and flips it up in the air.
wyjyoon (Temperance): d2 is the triangle one right?
Lirtimya: Headds keep going, tails we keep the anchor down
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I think so
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): 1-2 is 1 and 3-4 is 2
Temperance: [d4 = 1]
Temperance: Well, that's heads.
Lirtimya: Let's raise the anchor then
Temperance: glances down at the coin in her palm.
BOB You can always right click on a Die and roll how ever many sides you want
'Lisa' connected
Levi Reed: Why are you second guessing yourself, Lirt?
GM: [d2 = 1]
BOB And hello Lisa
wyjyoon (Temperance): Ah, gotcha. Convenient!
wyjyoon (Temperance): Hey Lisa !
Temperance: I'm pretty sure it was this lever to pull the anchor...
Temperance: tugs on the lever.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): hi lisa!
BOB CLANK CLANK CLANK as the chains and ropes go splash
Lisa: Hello :)
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Hello
Levi Reed: slowly backs away and keeps watch in the other direction
Lemon (Levi Reed): hello lisa!
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Tries to keep them going on a straight path, which probably isn't hard with such weak winds
Lirtimya: Tries to keep them going on a straight path, which probably isn't hard with such weak winds

Turn Undead
Turn Undead The cleric is also granted power over undead -- evil creatures that exist in a form of non-life, neither dead nor alive. The cleric is charged with defeating these mockeries of life. His ability to turn undead (see "Turning Undead" in Chapter 9: Combat) enables him to drive away these creatures or destroy them utterly (though a cleric of evil alignment can bind the creatures to his will). Some of the more common undead creatures are ghosts, zombies, skeletons, ghouls, and mummies. Vampires and liches (undead sorcerers) are two of the most powerful undead. *Table 61: Turning Undead
Table 61: Turning Undead
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): will the rapier fit?
BOB Yes the Rapier will fit with no negatives
BOB it is designed to stab
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): yup - thx
wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll try to use it on my turn, but it's not listed in the action tab, so I don't know if I have to roll separately for it or nah
BOB That table I shared Wendy
Inv Zora Polasis: goes to the other side of Rothuss and tries to stab the crocodile
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, I just click on the table?
Inv Zora Polasis: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(19)] [d20 = 7]
Attack [7] ->[ATTACK (M)] (Rapier) [at Strange Crocodiles 1] [Hit-AC: 12 vs. 4 ] [AC: 12 ] [MISS]
[TURN] Levi Reed
BOB Leaving you outside of the boat until you make it to the deck
Lemon (Levi Reed): hmm
BOB Two different ones Levi could attack
Lemon (Levi Reed): I guess I'm going to go for the one blocking the gate, so everyone else can get up here and help?
Inv Zora Polasis: Maybe if we both pushed on the hatch we could push the crocodile away?
Levi Reed: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(16)] [d20 = 10]
Attack [10] ->[ATTACK (M)] (Machete) [at Strange Crocodiles 1] [Hit-AC: 6 vs. 4 ] [AC: 6 ] [MISS]

Lemon (Levi Reed): Well, at least I know it's POSSIBLE
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): nice to see a hit!
wyjyoon (Temperance): whoops I didn't mean to copy that
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
BOB So what level if Temp?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Level 4 I think
BOB chuckles, it says on your sheet
wyjyoon (Temperance): Level 4
BOB So roll a d20
wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok
Temperance: [d20 = 11]
BOB and what can you turn at level four with an 11
BOB Is on that Table 61
wyjyoon (Temperance): Um gimme a minute
Carissa (Vee Barlett): a frown upside down?
BOB nice
BOB :( :)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): Lich or 11 + hd?
wyjyoon (Temperance): dunno what that means
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): weres aren't undead though ...
BOB No to Wendy, Level 4 priest across the top, and then go down to what the 11 or less means,
Carissa (Vee Barlett): hit dice
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): now that I think about it
Carissa (Vee Barlett): apparently I was wrong, not weres but undead crocs
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): zombie crocs?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): unless they're undead werecrocs then that's worse
BOB So a 4th level priest automatically turns Skeletons or a 1 HD undead
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): who is the bizarro necromancer in this area?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): if I understood the brief exchange correctly, undead crocs yes
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh is that what I'm looking for
BOB Do you understand that part Wendy?
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): sorry I missed that
Carissa (Vee Barlett): dunno, we haven't seen his cloak color yet
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): LOL
BOB Orange, DUH
wyjyoon (Temperance): not really, it might just be that everything is written horizontally
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
BOB So you are level 4 so you to to that column and then read down
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): orange cloak hmmm
wyjyoon (Temperance): right, i get that part
Carissa (Vee Barlett): think his actual name is Pilton but that's a stupid name so he needs a nickname
BOB you rolled an 11 so you turn Skeletons, Zombie, Ghoul or 2 HD, Shadow, etc
Carissa (Vee Barlett): *pitlon
wyjyoon (Temperance): OH i get it now
BOB But NOT a Wight or 5 HD Undead
wyjyoon (Temperance): it's just any number that falls under 11
TMO (Rothuss Carder): correct
wyjyoon (Temperance): *less than 11
TMO (Rothuss Carder): 11 or less, technically
wyjyoon (Temperance): So skeletons, zombies or ghouls then
TMO (Rothuss Carder): and shadows
BOB So you turn any undead of 4 HD or less with that roll
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Shadow is a 10, you rolled 11, so you could turn that
BOB I want to walk through it because this is the first time anyone has used Turning Undead in a long time
wyjyoon (Temperance): but the crocodiles are zombies right?
BOB Yes
BOB 3 HD zombies
wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok
wyjyoon (Temperance): I can only turn one of them because combined would be 6 HD then?
BOB So you turn 1d6 Undead of that type
wyjyoon (Temperance): okie dokes
Temperance: [d6 = 5]
wyjyoon (Temperance): Was I supposed to do that
BOB es
wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok cool
wyjyoon (Temperance): Learning as I go rn, thanks for being patient : )
Turning Undead
BOB The full page from the Players Handbook for you
TMO (Rothuss Carder): it's fun when you're high enough to just auto-destroy the undead. :D
wyjyoon (Temperance): It pops up as a small square labeled "turning undead" with two arrows that I can't click
BOB Maybe you did not load the Players Handbook on your side
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): drag a corner to enlarge it
BOB you can go to Modules or Books and you can read it
BOB And also Lisa
Rothuss Carder: What the heck were those?
BOB The weight over the hatch suddenly disipates
BOB and the three of you come up top
BOB Levi and Temp get to try to explain what happened
Levi Reed: They just... left?
Vee Barlett: Why'd y'all wake me up??
Levi Reed: There were crocodiles...
Vee Barlett: Out this far?
Temperance: There were two undead crocodiles above board, of massive size. I'm not really sure what happened to make them go away so suddenly.
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): wouldn't you know?
Lirtimya: They were undead? More undead?
Vee Barlett: How ya not know? Didn't I hear ya yell somethin'?
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Yeah Temp cast it, she would know right?
wyjyoon (Temperance): I did?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): she should lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): I wasn't sure I cast it or not
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh ok then yeah
wyjyoon (Temperance): Sorry I'm all over the place tonight.
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): it was your big priesty power - Begone foul undead beasts!
TMO (Rothuss Carder): you channeled the power of your faith and drove the undead away
Vee Barlett: Hmm, ya think Firebeard got crocs? That's a cool animal companion in retrospect...
BOB yes Temp would know she WILLED them away, by TURNING them
Lirtimya: Undead crocs for an undead pirate
BOB Not a spell, it is an inate power granted by her God
Rothuss Carder: Hmm... does garlic work against undead?
Temperance: I did try willing them away by turning them. I don't have a lot of experience with the undead, so...
BOB Garlic a litle basil, and shallots, sure that works with crocs
Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 5]
Carissa (Vee Barlett): it tastes like salty fish so recommend
Vee Barlett: Huh, well good job, I guess?
BOB Rothus has never heard of undead crocodiles
Rothuss Carder: Well, garlic supposedly works against vampires, but I haven't heard of it working against zombies.
Rothuss Carder: I mean, it can't hurt though, right?
BOB It is always humans turned into ... but he did encounter those goblins that the Chupacabra turned
Vee Barlett: It can if ya can't do nothin' with it and get yer arm bitten off.
Temperance: Apologies for calling all of you up in the middle of your sleep.
Rothuss Carder: We'll have to get some garlic and see if it keeps the undead crocs away.
Temperance: smiles lightly.
Rothuss Carder: It may do nothing, or it may do everything!
Inv Zora Polasis: I'm just glad you got rid of them
BOB next up Vampire Crocodiles ;P
Levi Reed: Wasn't my choice to wake you, for the record. Pretty sure the machetes could've handled some crocs
Levi Reed: levi lies
Vee Barlett: And did they?
Temperance: Put it on the grocery list. At least we'll be able to use it for cooking.
Inv Zora Polasis: Think I'll go back down to sleep. I did pull a double watch
Inv Zora Polasis: goes below to try to sleep
Vee Barlett: Yar get some rest. We'll be in Mizzen soon enough.
Levi Reed: They were getting there
Temperance: I'll owe up to try and waking you. I got a bit nervous when another one showed up, and my arrows weren't hitting. As usual.

BOB about how to deal with in the future
BOB before moving to the full morning
Temperance: Lots of encounters with ghosts and undead recently.
Lemon (Levi Reed): I mean, seems like it worked. What is there to discuss?
Lirtimya: I think we need to start off willing undead to go away at this point there's so many
Lirtimya: Chuckles
Temperance: laughs lightly.
Temperance: Well, at least it worked this time. I've never actually tried it so I wasn't sure if it would be effective.
Temperance: I wonder if the quarterstaff I have works with channeling this willing the undead away thing I've got going on...
BOB It is all belief
[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)
Lirtimya: I'm very glad it worked, they would not have been fun to fight them
Levi Reed: How did you know they were undead?
Temperance: They were moving unusually slowly even for crocodiles of that size.
Temperance: I guess you could say it was a bit of hunch too.
The time is 8:30 AM

BOB You are two hours off the coast
Rothuss Carder: snores
Vee Barlett: Smells like fish and dust.
BOB So at 10 rather than what you expected to be 8
BOB you arrive at port
Vee Barlett: sneezes
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki-old/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Mizzen">(LINK)</a>
BOB Mizzen
Temperance: There's dust on the boat? I would've expected it to be washed off with all the creatures splashing up seawater...
TMO (Rothuss Carder): ok, so *somewhere* in the extra 2 hours, Rothuss will wake up......
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
Rothuss Carder: Nah, I bet she's just allergic to land
Vee Barlett: Yar, that's more likely.
Rothuss Carder: does his morning stretches.
Temperance: laughs lightly and nods in understanding.
Vee Barlett: Alright, maybe we go clean up then find the Duke?
BOB So as you are arriving at port, now is the question, who what how do you want to proceed
BOB and you can talk about what happened last night
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): what who how?
BOB being the first time anyone has seen that
Levi Reed: Hey, we made it!
BOB Are you planning on just walking up to the Duke's manor house and saying Let us in?
Vee Barlett: Boat slow, but yeah.
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): why not?
BOB grisn
Rothuss Carder: So.... I wonder if an undead croc's guts are in the same place as a live croc's...?
Inv Zora Polasis: Why wouldn't they be?
Temperance: They appeared to look similar in physical appearance.
Levi Reed: Yeah, fishing boats don't go fast, it'd scare all the fish away
Temperance: I'm not sure about their innards.
Rothuss Carder: Maybe you have to move or take them to make it undead?
Vee Barlett: They probably rotten like them goblins.
Rothuss Carder: It's some sort of ritual, isn't it? Rituals get weird.
Vee Barlett: Remember them?
Rothuss Carder: Not really...
Vee Barlett: Not surprised.
-> Inv Zora Polasis: Zora did not see the Zombie Goblins that they encountered with the Chupacabra
TMO (Rothuss Carder): (in his defense, he got knocked unconscious immediately in that encounter)
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol that's right - for the second time
-> Temperance: Temp did not see the Zombie Goblins that they encountered with the Chupacabra
Levi Reed: I remember the goblins
Inv Zora Polasis: So you have dealt with zombies before?
Temperance: Zombie goblins?
Levi Reed: Yep
Rothuss Carder: Yes! Of course! ... maybe...
Levi Reed: Didn't know chupacabras could change things into undead, but that's clearly what's going on
Levi Reed: Got a far reach, too
Vee Barlett: Yar, at a cave near Achild.
Inv Zora Polasis: Good you have had the experience
Vee Barlett: Found a weird horn near it. I meant to get it looked at.
Temperance: Chupacabras can turn things into undead? Interesting.
Vee Barlett: The chupacabra has a suspiciously manly boot print.
Levi Reed: It probably ate whatever made the boot print
Rothuss Carder: Maybe it goes to the Chupa Cobbler's?
Vee Barlett: rolls eyes
Lemon (Levi Reed): lollll
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
Vee Barlett: Anyways, we need to clean up.
Vee Barlett: Think that church here will let us?
Inv Zora Polasis: Temperance, did you feel your god's power moving through your arm like lightning? Priest Kelpper used to say that when he described his adventures banishing undead
BOB emptying and refilling as you prepare
Temperance: I... perhaps? I'm not too sure. It was spontaneous and in the heat of the moment, so... I didn't have a lot of time to register.
Inv Zora Polasis: But then your couldn't get through a meal without Priest Kelpper describing some story of his
Vee Barlett: Kelpper? Did he... gather kelp in his previous life?
Levi Reed: Tempe is the only person I've even known who doesn't exxaggerate anything
Temperance: I did feel some tingling, like I usually do when I cast. I'll see if I can remember the sensation a bit better if I try it again.
Inv Zora Polasis: I always wondered what that seaweed connection was
Levi Reed: Big Seaweed
Levi Reed: Gotta watch out for those guys
Vee Barlett: What?
Inv Zora Polasis: He's always stand up in the middle of dinner and point across the room like he was turning the dessert tray. But it was a vivid picture. I wish I could have seen you really do it
TMO (Rothuss Carder): always pushing seaweed as an ingredient into all the foods...
TMO (Rothuss Carder): seaweed pills...
TMO (Rothuss Carder): seaweed extract...
Vee Barlett: Well we keep runnin' into undead so ya might get to see it again, 'specially if Firebeard really is undead.
wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol
BOB Zora getting ready to dual class Thief/Priest
Carissa (Vee Barlett): no more double watches for her!
Inv Zora Polasis: That would be exciting
BOB So landing at the docks and....
Temperance: If the Church is alright with letting us freshen up, then maybe they'll have some material about the undead that I can review.
BOB That is up to the group
BOB how long do you want to take to go visit the Duke
Vee Barlett: Either them or the Bard College but then we gotta pay entrance fee...
Levi Reed: I would LOVE to visit the temple here
Vee Barlett: Let's stop by the church, see if we can clean up since we doin' churchy stuff, then go try to get an audience with the Duke?
BOB Ok
Temperance: Fine by me. I want to see what makes this Church of Mizzen so interesting. Levi seems excited about it.
BOB Shrine and Church here, no Temples
BOB So you go into town and head over to the church
Marianne Proske: Welcome friends,
Rothuss Carder: waves and looks around.
Temperance: Hello.
Temperance: bows her head in greeting.
Vee Barlett: lets the churchy people take lead
Temperance: My name is Temperance. I've heard some of my friends have visited here before?
Levi Reed: Look, Levi's not a church guy, he's not going to get it right
Marianne Proske: I am glad for that
Marianne Proske: Everyone should be welcome
Levi Reed: You got a donation box nearby?
Marianne Proske: Certainly we are happy to take what you feel you can spare
Temperance: We would appreciate if we could stay a bit to freshen ourselves up. We've had... quite a journey.
Levi Reed: hands over a silver
Inv Zora Polasis: And a meeting with the Duke later
Marianne Proske: We are here for everyone, and especially those who serve the church
<font color="#000000">Levi Reed spent 1 SP on the best church ever
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
Marianne Proske: That is very nice, are you meeting with him for good or for a problem?
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): lol
Inv Zora Polasis: Apparently he has a problem and we were sent for
Temperance: It seems that he requires a bit of our assistance.
Rothuss Carder: He has the problem, we're his good. I hope.
Marianne Proske: Then you must be very important people
Marianne Proske: Do you like being important?
Vee Barlett: We like bein' clean.
Inv Zora Polasis: laughs
Marianne Proske: laughs happily
Rothuss Carder: She's not important, she's invisible.
Levi Reed: Nah, we're not important, just helping out the church
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
Temperance: chuckles lightly.
Temperance: We simply assist when we can. That is all.
Inv Zora Polasis: What are your thoughts on the Duke? If I may ask
Marianne Proske: There are bowls and basins in the back you can use, and sand to scrub your self clean
Marianne Proske: The Duke is a nice man, he tries to remember that not everyone has the same privledge he does, his son has not quite learned that yet
Levi Reed: I heard his son is kind of a jerk, yeah
Marianne Proske: The youth need to learn
Vee Barlett: How receptive is he to visitors? Can we just... go right up there and tell him we're here to talk to him?
Rothuss Carder: Thanks, I'll go take adavantage of those. I scribbled on myself in my sleep again.
Rothuss Carder: heads to the back.
Marianne Proske: You said he was expecting you, so I would think that he would welcome you
Vee Barlett: Bad habit, but them scribbles look nice!
Vee Barlett: nods
Inv Zora Polasis: You know of our arrival? But of course you do
Vee Barlett: Good. Hope it go smoothly then. I'm gonna go clean up, too, while you all talk churchy stuff.
Inv Zora Polasis: And of the Admiral?
Marianne Proske: I always pray in the morning to ask if there will be anything I should prepare to help people with today
Marianne Proske: and today I felt the need for bathing and flowers
Inv Zora Polasis: smiles
Marianne Proske: So I took a nice scrubbing session on the beach
Marianne Proske: and I have these flowers
Marianne Proske: she hands a bunch to Zora
Inv Zora Polasis: They are beautiful. Thank you
Marianne Proske: What about the Admiral? I have not noticed him around lately but he is a busy person
Levi Reed: goes to wash up with the others
Inv Zora Polasis: I am not sure of all the details, but it is said he has been kidnapped
SHOCKED
Marianne Proske: What?
Marianne Proske: How could that be?
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): yeah for a thief she tells everyone everything
chuckles
Temperance: Do you happen to know when you saw the Admiral last, by chance?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): llol
Marianne Proske: I would have to think, but he does not come here very often at all, he has his own priest for his fleet
Temperance: Ah, I see. We would appreciate whatever details we can get.
Inv Zora Polasis: There are rumors but they seem to silly to mention
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): too
Marianne Proske: If you do visit the Duke then ask for Jareth of the Fifth Circle, master of the winds
Marianne Proske: He would be able to tell you about the Admrial
Temperance: Jareth of the Fifth Circle, Master of the Winds. Thank you.
Inv Zora Polasis: nods in thanks as well
Inv Zora Polasis: He would be useful on a ship
Temperance: Do you have any questions Zora? Shall we follow the others as well?
wyjyoon (Temperance): *additional questions
Inv Zora Polasis: I suppose we should get clean before anything else
BOB Temp would know what the 5th circle woudl entail
BOB Keldorian ranks

Inv Zora Polasis: We shall be back soon. Thank you for your kindness Marianne
Marianne Proske: I am glad to help
BOB So taking some time to clean up then start towards the Duke's residence
TMO (Rothuss Carder): do they come off?
BOB Yes to Roth
TMO (Rothuss Carder): so no showing up at the Duke's palace with graffiti on
Vee Barlett: Alright that presentable enough, I supposin'
Vee Barlett: Let's get this over with.
Inv Zora Polasis: washes and re-does her hair putting one of the flowers in her hair
Levi Reed: Disappointing Roth. That was a good look on you
BOB The group leaves the church, heads down the street towards the market square.......
Levi Reed: Would've given the Duke a nice first impression
Vee Barlett: An impression of some sort for sure.
Ruffus DeOrange: My lovely violent Vee I am SO glad to see you
Vee Barlett: Fuck.
Ruffus DeOrange: Not here
Ruffus DeOrange: Later perhaps
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): language!
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol
Vee Barlett: You'd run away again.
Ruffus DeOrange: You will just have to exhaust me next time
Temperance: blinks at this new person.
Ruffus DeOrange: So that I cannot
Vee Barlett: Maybe just be upfront that ya ain't last long in bed next time, yeah?
Ruffus DeOrange: But I am very glad to see you now here with everyone
Vee Barlett: Why's that?
Ruffus DeOrange: I need your help
Inv Zora Polasis: Who is this?
Vee Barlett: Why would I?
Ruffus DeOrange: I need you to prove that I am not the Dread Pirate Firebeard
Rothuss Carder: Is this that guy? The whosit guy?
Vee Barlett: Reason I sharpened my knives.
Lirtimya: Do we really need to help him? or can we become the second, more imminent problem?
Vee Barlett: to Zora
Temperance: You're not the Dread Pirate Firebeard?
Vee Barlett: barks a laugh
Temperance: Why would you need to prove that?
Ruffus DeOrange: No I am not
Ruffus DeOrange: THANK YOU!
Ruffus DeOrange: Someone believes
Vee Barlett: Of course you ain't! You not even good at pretendin' to be a pirate!
Rothuss Carder: checks the ground under his feet.
Rothuss Carder: No glowing green bootprints.
Inv Zora Polasis: looks critically at Ruffus
Ruffus DeOrange: See you have smart people Violent Vee
Vee Barlett: (look to see
Temperance: You just didn't seem like much of a pirate, so...
Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 6]

Ruffus DeOrange: Violent Violet
Temperance: So who are you, man who is terrible at being a pirate?

Ruffus DeOrange: Should we call you VeeVee for short?
Vee Barlett: Gag.

Levi Reed: rolls eyes
Ruffus DeOrange: No that is later on, again, you need to learn to wait
Ruffus DeOrange: I am Ruffus DeOrange
Vee Barlett: I didn't specify who was bein' gagged.
Vee Barlett: You get shived, not gagged.
Ruffus DeOrange: I am the ... I am My Own Person
Ruffus DeOrange: and I am NOT a dead pirate
Ruffus DeOrange: However
Lirtimya: Pinches the bridge of her nose
Rothuss Carder: sidles up next to Zora.
Vee Barlett: Just a spoiled man who pretends he's a gentleman.
Ruffus DeOrange: Some people have been speculating that
Rothuss Carder -> Inv Zora Polasis: Well, Investigator. What can you tell about him?
Vee Barlett: Why would they?
Lemon (Levi Reed): brb
[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)
-> Temperance: Temp knows this is a (rumored) spoiled brat of a child of a nobleman in Osterhold (where your Temple is) who is known for causing problems
Vee Barlett: 'Cause they ain't just think that for now reason. So what reason?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): *no
Temperance: looks more and more dead inside as the conversation continues.
Ruffus DeOrange: I was impetuous in my youth
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lmao
Vee Barlett: rolls eyes
Vee Barlett: Shocker
Inv Zora Polasis -> Rothuss Carder: I know I don't like him.
Rothuss Carder: nods.
Ruffus DeOrange: I would like to help you with the Duke
Vee Barlett: Give me a reason. I got a grudge with you.
Ruffus DeOrange: To prove that I am not a dead pirate
Inv Zora Polasis -> Rothuss Carder: If he was impersonating Firebeard I don't think he would be pleading for people to help him prove it
Vee Barlett: You ain't A pirate.
Ruffus DeOrange: Exactly
Ruffus DeOrange: See you understand me
Vee Barlett: And if you gonna die, it gonna be by my hands.
Temperance: Rumors from Osterhold say that you're known to cause a ruckus, and we have enough of those.
Ruffus DeOrange: SO you can help me
Vee Barlett: But you ain't give me a reason yet.
Inv Zora Polasis: Maybe if he was dead we could really tell. Hard to tell with all that talking
Vee Barlett: Rum a good start. An apology. Pearl? Diamonds are great, too.
Ruffus DeOrange: If I travel with you to go find who ever IS the Dead Dread Pirate Firebeard then you will have lots of chances to ....
Vee Barlett: At least that goatee gone.
Vee Barlett: Nah. That what YOU want.
Rothuss Carder: sniffs the air for any scent of brimstone.
Vee Barlett: You gotta earn my bed now.
Ruffus DeOrange: What I want is to not be told that I am a pirate
Ruffus DeOrange: Gladly
Vee Barlett: First round of drinks are on you.
Vee Barlett: And I'm goin' top shelf.
Ruffus DeOrange: If you remember I did give you rum and.....
Vee Barlett: And left me naked and tied to a bed.
Vee Barlett: Ain't a good look.
Ruffus DeOrange: OH I would disagree
Vee Barlett: More serial killer vibes there.
Temperance: continues to look more and more deadpan at the topic of conversation.
Vee Barlett: So why the Duke Son not vouch for you? Ain't ya buddies with him?
BOB See how much you missed Wendy and Lisa
wyjyoon (Temperance): Glad we missed it
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (not a bad thing, lol)
Inv Zora Polasis: How did you even know Violet would be here? Popping out of nowhere at her
Ruffus DeOrange: Ahhh he is .... missing? not here?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): dinner's ready - brb
[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Same for me
Vee Barlett: He can't sail worth shit. Probably can't pay someone to sail him outta here after he crashed his way to here.
[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)
Vee Barlett: pinches bridge of nose
Vee Barlett: Why ain't it ever simple?
Ruffus DeOrange: I have been waiting ever sense I told the Duke to send to the Church of the Orange Sunsets for help, I knew they would go to Vee to get help,
Vee Barlett: Ah fuck you? What?
Inv Zora Polasis: You were the one that sent for us?
Inv Zora Polasis: sighs
Ruffus DeOrange: I did NOT send for you
Ruffus DeOrange: I only told the Duke where to send for help
Vee Barlett: That conniving there. Didn't know you had it in you... wait, no, that's on par.
Ruffus DeOrange: BOWS
Vee Barlett: You don't seem the type to let things go. BUT
Vee Barlett: If we help ya, because it aligns with what we already doin' then you behave or I'm gonna shank ya, got it?
Ruffus DeOrange: Thinks
Temperance: I would encourage you to think faster.
Vee Barlett: And I'm getting top shelf liqour after all this. On you.
Inv Zora Polasis: We're not bringing him to visit the Duke!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol tempe
Ruffus DeOrange: If I come with you to solve it then that makes it easier to solve it and to shank me
Inv Zora Polasis: We aren't are we?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Tempe getting sassy lol
Vee Barlett: This dumbshit has an in with the Duke so not a bad thing for him to come along.
Vee Barlett: Bad for me and my patience, but not for our goal.
Inv Zora Polasis: It would make us seem ... associated with him
Inv Zora Polasis: We already have an invitation to see him
Inv Zora Polasis: the Duke
Ruffus DeOrange: Yes
Ruffus DeOrange: He sent the key right?
Vee Barlett: I can shank ya here or there, ain't no worries there.
Vee Barlett: What key?
Temperance: raises an eyebrow.
Inv Zora Polasis: there is no key for you
Vee Barlett: playing dumb
Ruffus DeOrange: I told him that he needed to prove it was an official request so he should send his Ducal Key
Vee Barlett: Why he listen to you?
Vee Barlett: And ya still ain't told me why you a suspect.
Ruffus DeOrange: Because I brought his son back from the permaids
Ruffus DeOrange: Mermaids
Vee Barlett: tries to keep her obsession from latching on to that
wyjyoon (Temperance): The permaids - mermaids with a nice perm
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lmao
Carissa (Vee Barlett): but you can't get it wet!
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol
BOB LOL
wyjyoon (Temperance): They use sorcery to keep it curled : P
Vee Barlett: So why can't he prove you ain't Firebeard?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): or a good lawyer
BOB what movie is that?
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
Carissa (Vee Barlett): legally blonde
Ruffus DeOrange: It is hard to prove you are NOT someone
wyjyoon (Temperance): It's the movie about the girl who goes to Harvard law right?
Ruffus DeOrange: until you bring in that person
BOB Like it is difficult?
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol I remember that scene
wyjyoon (Temperance): I saw clips of it but not the full movie
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I don't watch many movies, but i love that one
Vee Barlett: Firebeard dead.
BOB Ask lisa the chances that I have actually seen that movie......
Ruffus DeOrange: I am hopeful that he is
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): 5-10%
Ruffus DeOrange: BUT
Vee Barlett: isn't sure she is
BOB lower
Vee Barlett: But?
Ruffus DeOrange: Someone is out there doing things
Ruffus DeOrange: and the Admiral is missing
Ruffus DeOrange: Leans in....
Vee Barlett: grips her dagger handle
Ruffus DeOrange: Could it be him?
Ruffus DeOrange: Or?
Inv Zora Polasis: Someone who is not dead. Like you are not dead
Ruffus DeOrange: I need you to help on this
Vee Barlett: Not dead. Yet.
Ruffus DeOrange: Exactly, I am not dead
Vee Barlett: Yet.
Temperance: presses her lips together and gauges the situation quietly.
Vee Barlett: Fine. I set my terms. You agree to them. We set off, capisce?
Ruffus DeOrange: So what do you say, will you help me catch an not dead dread dead pirate?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): they speak Italian here? :)
Vee Barlett: No. I'll find out about this supposed pirate and you can tag along.
Ruffus DeOrange: That sounds fun
Rothuss Carder: Yep, sure does!
Inv Zora Polasis: sighs
Vee Barlett: And we can decide later if we catch 'em or kill 'em or what.
Temperance: exhales softly as well.
Ruffus DeOrange: We just need to bring back proof that I am not dead
Rothuss Carder: has a gleeful twinkle in his eye.
Vee Barlett: Don't do anything to make ya dead then.
Temperance: Just waltz around screaming, I'm sure people will know.
Ruffus DeOrange: You would be surprised how ineffective that has been
Inv Zora Polasis: This is not about you. It's about the kindapped Admiral
Temperance: My, what a shame.
Vee Barlett: I can stab ya now if it helps prove it to others.
Vee Barlett: Let's go.
Lirtimya: You're fueling it by denying it so hard
Rothuss Carder: Pretty sure the dead have no rhythym. You could try dancing. Maybe Vee will be your partner?
Inv Zora Polasis: shakes her head grumbling to herself "this is a mistake."
Vee Barlett: Glad I got a second dagger. One to stab each of ya...
Vee Barlett: mutters
Lirtimya: There's nothing more suspicious than denying too much
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): guilty feet have got no rhythm
Temperance: shakes her head at the new turn of events, but endeavors to keep herself civil.
BOB I'm never gonna dance again
TMO (Rothuss Carder): no movie knowledge, but he knows song lyrics
BOB See
Carissa (Vee Barlett): right??
BOB And So
TMO (Rothuss Carder): of course, he and I are of an age, and everyone in that era knew that song...
BOB any last minute adjustments with this new twist before your meeting with the Duke
wyjyoon (Temperance): Vee sharpening her knife?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lure him down a side alley, stab him, leave him for dead then visit the duke?
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
TMO (Rothuss Carder): plot payback?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I agree lol
BOB Here is your Dead Dread Pirate, story arc over
Carissa (Vee Barlett): well that IS tempting....
Carissa (Vee Barlett): less finding and more framing
BOB last glass then the meeting with the duke brb

Vee Barlett: takes a deep breath and tries to center herself and stuff away the rage before the meeting
BOB warm smile
BOB back
BOB and ready for your meeting if you are
Lemon (Levi Reed): I'm not opposed to framing him lol
BOB OR you can have a quick conference about what to do with this now
Carissa (Vee Barlett): if someoen wants to pull Vee aside sure
Carissa (Vee Barlett): otherwise onward we go
wyjyoon (Temperance): We're just gonna show the box and ask them to let us in?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Right?
Inv Zora Polasis: yanks Vee back for a minute
Carissa (Vee Barlett): not necessarily, we ask to see then can show box if we need
Inv Zora Polasis: What are you doing? He's not trustworthy
Vee Barlett: Ack! What?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh ok
Vee Barlett: I'm aware.
Inv Zora Polasis: Then why?
Inv Zora Polasis: Ohhhh you like him, don't you?
Vee Barlett: He shady as shit but he does keep his deals.
Inv Zora Polasis: All that complaining. You just want him back
Vee Barlett: Don't make me shank you, too. I only got two daggers and they got names on them. I'd have to go with a stone knife and that won't be pretty.
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
Vee Barlett: But he got connections, money, and knowledge. He gonna be an easy one to get to talk and do what we want.
Inv Zora Polasis: For telling the truth? What do we need him for?
Vee Barlett: If nothin' else, we can rob him later.
Inv Zora Polasis: Do you really go around robbing people?
Vee Barlett: shrugs
Vee Barlett: As Dad says, light fingers make light work. And somethin' else.
Inv Zora Polasis: You're not goingf to rob him and I'll bet you a gold piece you're back in bed with him before this is all over.
Inv Zora Polasis: But you're in charge Violet so off we go
Vee Barlett: Maybe I gotta try that oyster picker on you...
Inv Zora Polasis: sighs
Temperance: You both alright back there?
Inv Zora Polasis: YOu won't do that either
Vee Barlett: Look, I say we see what we get out of hima nd if he useless we drop him later.
Inv Zora Polasis: We're coming!
Levi Reed: Hurry up! I bet this Duke's got a good spread he's going to feel obligated to serve us
Vee Barlett: Just discussin' violence. It's fine.
Inv Zora Polasis: laughs
Temperance: nods in understanding.
Rothuss Carder: No hurries, ladies. You just stay back there and gossip all you want.
Temperance: I'm not surprised.
Lirtimya: If it's violence against him, don't leave me out next time
Rothuss Carder: We'll be up here discussing manly things, like betting, and beer.
Vee Barlett: Hmm... okay how about if he don't live up to his end of the deal, I'll let you shank him? That make ya feel better, sis?
Inv Zora Polasis: laughs
Temperance: takes out her notebook to keep record.
Inv Zora Polasis: Gladly
Vee Barlett: Good. Glad ya actually just lookin' out for me and ain't questionin' my fake crushes.
Vee Barlett: 'Cause Thurmund has a better chance at that.
Osip Shukov: Welcome to Mizzen Manor
Osip Shukov: How can I help you?
Vee Barlett: returns to group
Vee Barlett: We here to see the Duke. Temple of Orange Sunsets sent us.
Osip Shukov: That is very nice
Vee Barlett: Sure.
Ruffus DeOrange: Hello Shukov,
Inv Zora Polasis: to Temperance, Maybe show the key
Osip Shukov: OH hellow
Temperance: is waiting on it until she needs to.
Rothuss Carder: He's here to prove he's not the Dread Pirate Firebeard.
Ruffus DeOrange: Now don't give me that, you can see I am here with friends
Vee Barlett: We can leave him behind if it helps our cause.
Osip Shukov: Friends? or FREEEENDS?
Temperance: furrows her brows.
Ruffus DeOrange: You wound me
Rothuss Carder: Only 2 e's
Temperance: What's the difference?
Temperance: They're both the same words.
Ruffus DeOrange: These are actually people who know me and have traveled with me before
Inv Zora Polasis: I ...
Ruffus DeOrange: They have, well some of them, have spent time with me
Inv Zora Polasis: stops hrself
Temperance: pats Zora on the shoulder in understanding.
Osip Shukov: As long as you are paying for the rounds I am certain Sir
Levi Reed: Um
Lirtimya: Fidgeting with one of her bags with spell items in it
Levi Reed: You're putting it generously
Vee Barlett: We ain't his normal ruckus.
Ruffus DeOrange: Sadly I cannot help that my friends like to drink
Rothuss Carder: So, I think we have some sort of certificate of authenticity or something, to say who we are?
Levi Reed: That part at least is true
Inv Zora Polasis: Yes!
Ruffus DeOrange: OH we do not need that
Rothuss Carder: Oh, not including him, of course.
Vee Barlett: Well yer presecense don't seem to be helpin' so maybe we do.
Temperance: keeps one hand on the box with the key in her pouch, waiting to see if they need it.
Ruffus DeOrange: We just need a quick moment to show our bonifieds
Vee Barlett: More like a barnacle on a ship...
Rothuss Carder: We like to call him "Local Color". Because his name's Orange, y'see?
Osip Shukov: You want to vouch for these people I am not going to stop you,
Osip Shukov: Just remember I removed the bushes from the east side windows,
Rothuss Carder: sidles up to Osip.
Vee Barlett: Why that matter?
Rothuss Carder: quietly out the side of his mouth asks, "Umm.. would it help or hurt if he vouches for us?"
Temperance: raises an eyebrow.
Ruffus DeOrange: The easiest exit not out the front doors is to the east
Vee Barlett: Already startin' to regret you bein' here....
Vee Barlett: Ugh, we just need to see the Duke.
Temperance: mumbles to herself, "at least we know which windows to throw him out of"
Osip Shukov: I have no opinion on this
Osip Shukov: Very well, I cannot stop him or his guests
Rothuss Carder: steps back. "Understood"
Osip Shukov: Welcome
Vee Barlett: Thanks, I supposin'
Ruffus DeOrange: Thank you so much Shukov
Ruffus DeOrange: I will be sure to remember this at some point
Vee Barlett: Empty words ain't flatterin' so better fill those up.
Inv Zora Polasis: shakes her head again
BOB And you are lead into the palace through the waiting halls
Temperance: lifts her hand out of her pouch with a soft sigh.
Rothuss Carder: slips Shukov a gold piece.
BOB and when the guards see you they halt you then they see Ruffus and go send for more help
<font color="#000000">Rothuss Carder spent 1 GP on
Osip Shukov: Thank you sir, (to Roth)
Vee Barlett: pinches bridge of nose again
Rothuss Carder: For all you do and put up with around here.
Vee Barlett: Gonna owe Zora a drink at this rate...
Inv Zora Polasis: mumbles, "mistake, mistake"
BOB Eventually after a bit of time you are in the official hall, with the Duke and his wife
Constance Bluebleeder: Hello Ruffus
Levi Reed: Well this is turning out to be an adventure already
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (sorry was looking up his name)
Constance Bluebleeder: What have you brought us today?
Vee Barlett: Vee from the Temple of Orange Sunsets, sir. You sent for us?
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): Duke Lewriff of Plithoth?
Ruffus DeOrange: BOWS
Vee Barlett: nods to Tempe to show the key
Vee Barlett: and clumsly follows the bow
Duke of Mizzen: Are you actually from there?
Vee Barlett: tries to hide her discomfort
Temperance: takes out the box with the key in it.
Temperance: Were you the one that sent this item?
Duke of Mizzen: Waves away the formality from the group
Vee Barlett: nods to Zora
Vee Barlett: And aletter to the Cathedral.
Duke of Mizzen: Bring that here
Temperance: approaches the duke and hands him the box.
Vee Barlett: shifts from a bow to crossing her arms
Rothuss Carder: gives the Duke and his wife a good looking-at.
Duke of Mizzen: Opens it and holds up the key
Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]
Levi Reed: Also if you want to kick the riffraff out before we start talking, we're fine with that.
Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 15]
Levi Reed: glances at Ruffus
Temperance: [SKILL] Bureaucracy (2) [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 14]
Duke of Mizzen: He takes the key out of the box and expertly disasembles it into the five parts
Lirtimya: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 20]
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 5]

Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Statecraft [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 18]
Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Statecraft [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 10]
Temperance: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 14]
Duke of Mizzen: Pulling out the final small piece he pulls a small piece of paper out of a hollow spot
JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Lirt is too busy hating Ruffus to see anything lol
Duke of Mizzen: He looks up at you
Temperance: watches what she hopes is every detail.
Inv Zora Polasis: is annoyed she did not find the paper herself
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
Duke of Mizzen: Apparently you did not try to steal or sell this as an artifact
Vee Barlett: Nah, we smarter than that.
Rothuss Carder: *are*. We *are* smarter than that.
Vee Barlett: Not you.
Vee Barlett: to Rothuss
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol
Levi Reed: Some of us
Temperance: And a bit more lawful, I sincerely hope.
Rothuss Carder: Sorry, Duke, we're still trying to housebreak her.
Duke of Mizzen: Yes this paper is enspelled to burn if it has been attempted to be sold or bartered
Levi Reed: ... again, some of us
Temperance: I see.
Duke of Mizzen: At least one of you
Vee Barlett: bites her tongue from a retort given the company
Duke of Mizzen: and I know it was not Ruffus
Vee Barlett: We in agreement there.
Ruffus DeOrange: Sir I woudl never sell something of yours
Ruffus DeOrange: If I knew if was yours
Levi Reed: What would we have gained from selling or bartering it? Seems like you can offer us anything better than an illicit trader
Constance Bluebleeder: Ruffus, you would not know and not care until you needed it the next day
Temperance: raises an eyebrow at this Ruffus with a look that reads 'why am I not surprised?'
Duke of Mizzen: It means that Ruffus was actually right for once
Levi Reed: You can just ignore him, he's not like, "with us" we just ran into him
Vee Barlett: Even a broken sundial is.
Duke of Mizzen: When he said if I sent this to the Church of Orange Sunsets that it would bring their best investigators
Vee Barlett: You got a pirate back from the dead and a kidnappin' we hear?
Rothuss Carder: nudges Zora with an elbow.
[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)
Inv Zora Polasis: smiles
Temperance: makes room for Zora to step up a bit.
Duke of Mizzen: We have a magician trying to pretend to be a pirate
Duke of Mizzen: It cannot actually be Firebead, he has been dead
Temperance: A magician, you say?
Duke of Mizzen: and Pirates do not come back from being dead
Vee Barlett: We run into undead so ain't gonna say never say never.
Duke of Mizzen: That is what I need you to do
Vee Barlett: How'd Firebeard die?
Rothuss Carder: glances over at Temperance, wondering if we should mention the formerly-dead crocodiles we just met that morning.
Temperance: nods in return, signalling to go for it.
Duke of Mizzen: To prove that this young scoundrel is or is not the one who is the Dread Pirate Firebeard, who kidnapped my Admiral
Vee Barlett: And if he is?
Ruffus DeOrange: I am not dead
Rothuss Carder: Has anyone actually reported seeing Firebeard, or just the clues left behind?
Constance Bluebleeder: You could be
Vee Barlett: Yer gonna have to get in line for that.
Temperance: coughs to cover a laugh.
Temperance: Excuse me. Must be the Ruffus allergies.
Duke of Mizzen: There have been green fire footprints left in Red Hook
Ruffus DeOrange: I have not been in Red Hook in months,
Inv Zora Polasis: Can you give us any details you have on how the Admiral was kidnapped? When it happened and from where?
Vee Barlett: Surprised ya weren't shanked there.
A short time ago, the Lord Admiral of Ranste suddenly disappeared. Now the streets of this thriving trade port are filled with bare footprints that dance with ghostly green flames, the signature of the long-dead pirate Firebeard. Has the dreaded buccaneer come back from the grave to haunt the city that hounded him to his grave? The Ranste Council fears the worst, and has hired a band of adventurers to determine the truth behind the unsettling happenings.
Temperance: takes out her notebook to record the details.
BOB Doh sorry that is the Duke of Mizzan not the "ranste council"
BOB wrong copy and paste
Vee Barlett: How'd Firebeard die initially?
Inv Zora Polasis: So he disappeared and no one knows if it was from his home or his ship? And it was here in Mizzen?
Duke of Mizzen: The Isle of Jilanth is part of the Siren Call group
Duke of Mizzen: We have patrolled the passage to prevent the unlawful behavior there from spreading here
Ruffus DeOrange: Looks guilty
Duke of Mizzen: I need you to go find Admiral Josin and bring him home, or tell me what happened to him
Duke of Mizzen: Because I do not believe that a dead priate kidnapped my Admrial
Vee Barlett: Any other clues or useful information? We got questions waitin' for answers.
Inv Zora Polasis: So the last he was seen was patroling the Jilanth passage?
Duke of Mizzen: I have questions waiting for a headsman's axe
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): huh?
Rothuss Carder: takes a half step away from Ruffus.
Duke of Mizzen: Yes to Zora, he was there and then his ship disapeared, and no one would venture into the jungles to find him
Inv Zora Polasis: His whole ship disappeared as well?
Vee Barlett: frowns and lets Zora take over
Ruffus DeOrange: Sir I promise to go help these experts to prove I did not have anything to do with this and we will bring the Admiral home again
Duke of Mizzen: Three ships disapeared
Duke of Mizzen: His and two others
Temperance: raises another eyebrow while continuing to record.
Temperance: Three ships?
Vee Barlett: You expectin' us to head towards Siren's Call? We need a better ship if that happens.
Inv Zora Polasis: And the flame of Firebeard have been seen at Red Hook only or at Jilanth as well?
Duke of Mizzen: I was told that the finest investigators would arrive and solve my problems
Temperance: Was the Priest Jareth of the Fifth Circle, Master of the Winds accompanying him by chance? We were told that he may have a bit more information.
Duke of Mizzen: I have not ventured, nor have I asked my people to go to Jilanth after this incident last week
Duke of Mizzen: Jareth is here
Inv Zora Polasis: We shall. We need as much information you know as posssible so we may make quicker work of the investigation
Inv Zora Polasis: If it pleases you
Inv Zora Polasis: Ohh we would very much like to speak with Jareth as well
Duke of Mizzen: So would I
Duke of Mizzen: but he has been silent
Temperance: furrows her brows.
Duke of Mizzen: from what ever he saw when the Admiral disapeared
Duke of Mizzen: The church here has said he needs rest
Duke of Mizzen: He needs quiet
Duke of Mizzen: I say I need answers
Temperance: The Church of Mizzen is the one that recommended we speak to him.
Rothuss Carder: Is he responsive at all? Unconscious, or just non-talkative?
Duke of Mizzen: He seems to be knowledgeable of where he is but he does not respond to anyone
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): have a mind meld spell?
Duke of Mizzen: He eats if he is given food and prompted
Duke of Mizzen: but he does nothing else
Vee Barlett: IF ya don't think it'll hurt, we'd like to try talkin' to him.
Rothuss Carder: thinks
Temperance: Hm... an interesting case. I do agree we should at least try...
Inv Zora Polasis: Any known mages missing in the area?
Duke of Mizzen: Not that I have been told of
Rothuss Carder: moves over to Ruffus' side.
Inv Zora Polasis: It would seem it would be a powerful magic user to be able to accomplish what has transpired
Rothuss Carder: test
-> Rothuss Carder: yes
Temperance: nods in agreement with Zora.
Temperance: Perhaps this Priest Jareth has been put under a spell of his own...
Carissa (Vee Barlett): shoot my package WAS delivered and it's raining and I was told not to let it get wet.... I'll be back again in 10
[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)
Duke of Mizzen: We have no powerful mages here on Mizzen
Rothuss Carder: Ruffus, just to put it out there, if you absolutely want to prove your innocence, just have them put you under house arrest for a couple of weeks. Firebeard does his thing while you're here, and you're clear.
Inv Zora Polasis: Good point Temperance
-> Rothuss Carder: Do you want me to go with you to help? or do you want me to stay here while you prove I am innocent?
Duke of Mizzen: If you would like to visit with him I have no objections
Inv Zora Polasis: How long has Firebeard been dead if you know? Is he legend or a recent pirate of note?
Duke of Mizzen: Just be quick, it has been more than a week
Duke of Mizzen: Firebeard died over a decade ago
Rothuss Carder: That's why I'm not telling everyone this, just you. Depends on what you want, man. I think I'd rather have you along, but thought you'd want to know the option.
Temperance: A decade...? A long time to be showing signs now...
-> Rothuss Carder: I want to go and prove, I am a man of action
Rothuss Carder: nods to Ruffus and steps back to his place, still thinking.
Duke of Mizzen: That is why I do not believe he is back from the dead
Duke of Mizzen: this much be a copycat
Duke of Mizzen: Or a pretender
Duke of Mizzen: or
Inv Zora Polasis: But easier to frighten with magic and signs
Levi Reed: Sometimes people lay low for a while. Or try to go straight and then get drawn back in
Duke of Mizzen: With magic I am not certain
Inv Zora Polasis: I agree
Temperance: nods in understanding.
Rothuss Carder: How long have the footprints stayed around?
Rothuss Carder: And have they ben seen by someone reliable, or just rumors?
Duke of Mizzen: The best way I know it to go to Jilanth and investigate
Duke of Mizzen: At least two of the encounters with them I believe, the others could be panic
Rothuss Carder: A good start. Chasing rumors is a pain.
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): vee wanted to ask for a ship to borrow instead of our boat?
Constance Bluebleeder: groans
Constance Bluebleeder: Are you trying to tell me that Rothuss was right to call you here?
Rothuss Carder: holds his hand up.
Rothuss Carder: Ruffus. I'm Rothuss. Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.
BOB She asked that earlier and it seemed they thought you were coming with everything you need
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): ok just checking before we left for Jareth or anything like that - boat it is unless Ruffus has a ship .... Gods I hope not
Rothuss Carder: That's already happened a couple of times, believe it or not. I'm thinking I may have to change my name.
BOB and also Jilanth is not far, the other side of Mizzen and then... 8? 9? miles west
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): we don't want to owe him - zora doesn't anyway
wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, Vee did ask about the ship. But if it's not far...
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): yes that is good news
Constance Bluebleeder: It would be a bit distressing to have to deal with all of his..... attachments
Rothuss Carder: Yes ma'am. I have to deal with one of his... attachments... every day. I understand completely.
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): he has more than one?
Temperance: We simply wished to make certain we had all the details in line without room for miscommunication. Sometimes pieces of information get mixed around and lead us astray. We simply wish to be thorough, as this is a pressing case.
Constance Bluebleeder: I am glad for that Pristess Temperance
Constance Bluebleeder: We need calm level headed people to handle this
Duke of Mizzen: We need people who can solve this
Duke of Mizzen: I do not care how
Duke of Mizzen: Just bring him back and make things right
Rothuss Carder: Sounds fun.
Temperance: smiles gently.
The time is 12:30 PM
Temperance: I understand your distress. We will make certain to speak with Jareth and see what more can give us a clearer picture. Thank you, for all your information and assistance.
The date is Pen____de, 6th Sin (Late Summer), 587 SGR
Young Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous
Old Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous
Duke of Mizzen: I hope you will solve this in the next two days
Levi Reed: Do we have to take Ruffus with us?
Duke of Mizzen: Why would I care?
Levi Reed: Fantastic
Levi Reed: Thank you sir
Constance Bluebleeder: Dear, he can go where he wants
Ruffus DeOrange: I will go to clear my name
Temperance: focuses on the 'next two days'
Levi Reed: What happens if it takes three days?
Ruffus DeOrange: Nothing
Duke of Mizzen: We have a meeting with the other local islands other than Borinquen to discuss trade
Duke of Mizzen: So we can present a united front
Levi Reed: Hmmm. You got any homing pigeons or anything you can give us, so we can send a message when we get it sorted? That way you could get the news before we make the trek back
Duke of Mizzen: You have priests, I know they can communicate with each other
Rothuss Carder: looks over at Temperance.
Inv Zora Polasis: nods
Levi Reed: I mean... sure, we can all communicate
wyjyoon (Temperance): I suppose Tempe can but Wendy did not know that.
Levi Reed: But not instantly?
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): divination spells?
Levi Reed: Unless there's something I don't know about preists?
Duke of Mizzen: Are you capable of doing this?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh I thought maybe it was mind read
Levi Reed: turns to look at Tempe
Duke of Mizzen: OR do I need to send to the Cathedral at Osterhold
Inv Zora Polasis: Not all priests focus on divination but we can speak with the church here if we need assistance
Inv Zora Polasis: Not to worry
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (Ok back sorry but glad I went. I know it's dark and rainy, but seriously?? Amazon looked at the garage with some overhang, and the tree, and said NOPE toss it by the front door and let it rainnnnn!! Water literally fell out of the envelopes as I picked them up, but nothing ruined thankfully)
BOB very glad for that
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): glad it was okay!
wyjyoon (Temperance): glad nothing was damaged!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): (the surprise housewarming gift I was told not to get wet was a cute cat painting and it is thankfully not ruined)
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): you have divination sphere wendy?
BOB and the meeting is over? any last words?
BOB That is very nice
TMO (Rothuss Carder): a noble named Bluebleeder??/ REALLY?
wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes
wyjyoon (Temperance): about the divination sphere
BOB grins, thank you TMO
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): so you can check to see about messaging later
BOB So you are dimissed then
wyjyoon (Temperance): sounds good
BOB You can gather up what ever you think you need and then set sail for Jilanth
Lemon (Levi Reed): I want to restock my arrows
Carissa (Vee Barlett): why not red hook first?
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): jareth - can check for detect charm? maybe dispel magic if you have that?
wyjyoon (Temperance): I thought we were still speaking to the Jareth guy?
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): jareth before we leave?
wyjyoon (Temperance): I have detect charm
Carissa (Vee Barlett): if Jilanth is in Siren's Call, we might want more wax
BOB Are you taking Ruffus with you? and yes you can go to Red Hook on the way,
Lemon (Levi Reed): The goblin king?
BOB You can do that also
Inv Zora Polasis: we have 2 days - did you see that?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): Jareth, Red Hook, then Jilanth
TMO (Rothuss Carder): agreed
Carissa (Vee Barlett): always these stupid timelines
BOB the only thing that is finished is the meeting with the Duke he seems to think you are set to go and sends you off
Vee Barlett: and to answer Bob's question...
TMO (Rothuss Carder): Temperance and Zora might have best chance at breaking through to Jareth, and if not Rothuss might be able to sneak in using music or comedy or something
wyjyoon (Temperance): we explicitly got permission from the duke to speak with Priest Jareth though? We thought he was there?
Lisa: the foot prints were on redhook admiral was gone missing patrolling the passage by Jilanth
Vee Barlett: So what can ya actually contribute, Ruffus? Or ya just gonna be dead weight and we best leave you here?
BOB Giving you a framework but letting you decide how to do things
Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes don't let Vee manhandle the poor priest, lol
Ruffus DeOrange: You know I have skills
Lisa: thought Jareth was on Mizzen
Carissa (Vee Barlett): I assume he's in the palane and we're being led to him
Carissa (Vee Barlett): *palace whatever
wyjyoon (Temperance): That's what I assumed too?
Vee Barlett: No. I don't. I ain't seen you in combat or do anything except throw money at things you want.
Ruffus DeOrange: Those count at skills I do believe
Vee Barlett: Even yer thievery left a trailmiles long over water. Soppy.
Ruffus DeOrange: Among other things you have seen
Levi Reed: You saying he wasn't skilled in bed, Violet?
Vee Barlett: I'm sayin' that if we end up on Siren's Call, how good or bad you are in bed only matters to the sirens. If they don't just drown ya.
Ruffus DeOrange: I have you to distract me
Levi Reed: Maybe we should take him for bait
Vee Barlett: No. Charm is useless her. Can. You. Fight.
Rothuss Carder: You are a braver man than I, Ruffus.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): *here
Ruffus DeOrange: Of course I can
Levi Reed: Or a sacrifice, if the sirens come looking for something
Vee Barlett: Can you fight. Can you sail. Can you do ANYTHING except yap yer mouth?
Ruffus DeOrange: I have won many duels
Vee Barlett: With what?
Ruffus DeOrange: I can sail better than you can
Ruffus DeOrange: You do remember that I beat you here
Levi Reed: Bold words from someone who crashed here and hasn't been able to find a way off
Vee Barlett: By shovin' gold up the captain's ass. That ain't sailin' and ya last half yer crew AND yer ship. And ya didn't go down with it.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): *lost
Ruffus DeOrange: I was here first that is what actually matters
Vee Barlett: I need to know you won't be a liability.
Rothuss Carder: checks the sun to see what time it is.
Temperance: And you wonder why people are convinced that you're a dead pirate even if you're alive....
Ruffus DeOrange: EXACTLY
Ruffus DeOrange: I do lots of very ALIVE things
Temperance: Maybe they just believe you're best dead.
Ruffus DeOrange: You wound me Fair Temperace
Vee Barlett: You could get away with lots if you were invisible. Zora could vouch for that.
Rothuss Carder: takes Temperance's elbow and gently disengages her from the conversation.
Rothuss Carder: So, how do you think we should approach Jareth?
Vee Barlett: Fine. We get supplies. You buyin' what we need. And you somehow convince me you won't be a liability.
Ruffus DeOrange: Are you asking me?
TMO (Rothuss Carder): that was to Temperance
Ruffus DeOrange: I cna get supplies
Vee Barlett: Good. Prove yer worth.
Ruffus DeOrange: What is the name of the ship you came on

Levi Reed: And wax!
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): Can I fill my arrows back up before I forget?
Temperance: Thank you for disengaging me from the conversation. He was starting to grate my patience.

Temperance: Yes, let's focus on that.
Levi Reed: Yeah, that was a lot of emotion from you Tempe
Levi Reed: You ok?
Rothuss Carder: hooks Tempe's hand into his elbow and pats the back of her hand.
Rothuss Carder: C'mon, let's go plumb the depths of Jareth's mute mind.
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): nicely stated
Temperance: I'm alright. He simply does not have a good reputation, and is displaying that in greater capacity than I assumed he would.
BOB an aide leads you around to the back portion of the palace where there is a garden and an older man is sitting there in a wheeled chair, watching the flowers
Levi Reed: Ahhh, yeah. The guy's a true scumbag
Temperance: watches for a bit before approaching cautiously.
Temperance: Priest Jareth of the Fifth Circle?
Vee Barlett: stands back and watches
Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: sighs
Rothuss Carder: squats down nearby off to one side and just watches Jareth closely for any body language cues.
Carissa (Vee Barlett): read it as "fried of the shrimp" and now wish to suggest that title
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): lol

Lemon (Levi Reed): A bunch that maybe never got put on my sheet?
Temperance: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 14]

TMO (Rothuss Carder): probably all of no use, but throw enough dice at the wall, maybe one will find a target
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol I'm just rolling what I can to see what helps : )
Lemon (Levi Reed): ... I had to roll to figure that out?
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 3]
Inv Zora Polasis: Perhaps try to direct his focus to the admiral?

Lemon (Levi Reed): Can I do that?
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Artistic Ability [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 2]
Temperance: These black-winged dragons you were describing... did you see them out at sea? With the Admiral?
Temperance: gently attempts to steer the conversation in that direction.
Levi Reed: We're here to help, Jareth
BOB As best as Lvei can tell Jareth is describing things he saw, but they are jumbled up in his memory
Levi Reed: Can dragons pretend to be dead pirates?
Rothuss Carder: pulls his lute around and starts strumming a quiet, steady tune, just to see if it catches Jareth's interest or anything.
Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Musical Instrument [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 5]
BOB For Temperance as she described the images back to him, he smiles as Black Winged, then cringes at Dragon, then smiles again after that passes
BOB The lute music does not seem to affect him
TMO (Rothuss Carder): you never know. It works with drunks sometimes, when words don't.
Vee Barlett: Can ya try drawin' a picture Levi?
Lemon (Levi Reed): Who's controlling her face?
Carissa (Vee Barlett): works on many dementia patients, too, if it's a familiar song
Levi Reed: Anybody got something to draw on?
Rothuss Carder: My face, apparently
Temperance: hands him a notebook and quill.
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): rothuss' face?
wyjyoon (Temperance): lol
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
Levi Reed: attempts to draw the dragon thingy as described by Jareth
TMO (Rothuss Carder): jinx!
Levi Reed: [SKILL] Artistic Ability [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 18]
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol
Lemon (Levi Reed): Alas
wyjyoon (Temperance): Indeed
Levi Reed: Did it look like this?
Levi Reed: holds picture up so Jareth can see
BOB Levi can draw the head of a gull, he adds a body and dragon wings but then Jareth gets confused
Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): LOL
Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol
Temperance: digs in her pouch and hands the Priest Jareth a spare quill to see if he would like to write or draw.
Levi Reed: You think somebody cursed him?
BOB He stroke the quill gently
Vee Barlett: Hey, Jareth? What's yer favorite color?
BOB soft quiet happy
Inv Zora Polasis: It might be the case
Rothuss Carder: Definitely a bird fancier
Temperance: If you have a hard time describing things verbally, it always helps to write. I can try to help with your problem, but I would need your consent to cast some spells to help with it.
Vee Barlett: Oh, that's a good one. What's yer favorite bird, Jareth?
Inv Zora Polasis: But I would advise telling him before casting anything on him. It's only polite
Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Black Winged Gulls are very persistent in finding food especially along the water front

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: She left long ago
Vee Barlett: Sorry to hear that.
Temperance: notes down which words Priest Jareth shut down on, such as 'dragons' and 'pirates'

Rothuss Carder: plucks the strings of his lute to the tune of the shanty he sang earlier, as the group leaves.
Levi Reed: Well, anyone know what we'll need in case we encounter some dragons?
Vee Barlett: Better arrows.
Rothuss Carder: A god or two wouldn't hurt neither.
Temperance: laughs lightly.
Levi Reed: I should have donated more at the church
Rothuss Carder: I'm wondering how he got away, if it was a dragon. No boats, just a comatose dude floating in the sea alone?
Vee Barlett: Someone let him go.
Inv Zora Polasis: He said Jilanth was a dark place and nothing when I said Red Hook. I'm wondering if we should just go straight to Jilanth. But the footprints have been seen at Red Hook.
Rothuss Carder: Yeah, I'd like to check those out if we have time.
Vee Barlett: Three ships disappear and only he comes back? That ain't luck. That purposeful.
Inv Zora Polasis: True
Temperance: nods in agreement, as she continues to jot some notes.
Vee Barlett: Might find someone who can talk at Red Hook. Or not. Just be careful there.
Vee Barlett: It on the way, anyways.
Levi Reed: We got anything to protect our brains from getting scrambled like that?
Vee Barlett: Gotta have one first.
Levi Reed: I'm too young to go senile
Rothuss Carder: So where did Jareth there see footprints at, if it wasn't at Red Hook?

Inv Zora Polasis: The Duke mentioned sightings at Red Hook
Temperance: Since I'm not sure what spells are scrambling these minds, all I can offer is a silence spell.
Rothuss Carder: Oh, do we know, before or after the Admiral disappeared?
Vee Barlett: If ya want to ask pirates about a dead pirate, it be at Red Hook.
Levi Reed: Vee, you really can dish it out, but you sure can't take it
Inv Zora Polasis: The ships were patrolling the passage at Jilanth
Vee Barlett: ignores Levi
Inv Zora Polasis: I'm not sure
