BOB Hello Lisa

BOB Hello Wendy

Lisa: Hello :)

wyjyoon: hello friends :)

BOB an excellent Summary as always Wendy

Lisa: yes

wyjyoon: oh thanks! i tried for a different format instead of doing a play by play for combat. is that better to read?

BOB It all works well

BOB Always go with what you like to do

Lisa: definitely

wyjyoon: ok :) shortening content just works better for me

Lisa: and is fine for a summary

wyjyoon (Temperance): a win-win situation, yippe!

BOB Hitting the highlights, finding fun quotes, getting people interested in looking at it afterwards is all very good

Lisa: was reading the cause of death reports for Gene hackman and his wife and it is insanely more sad than first appeared

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh boy :( i'll have to read into that

BOB Yeah

BOB That hits hard

Lisa: Apparently wife died from some rare rodent contact disease on Feb 9th after bringing dog home from vet - who she did not release from his kennel

Lisa: so dog died trapped and wife died alone in bathroom

Lisa: Hackman who had Alzeimer's might not have even known his wife died

Lisa: He went around the house for 9 days with her in the bathroom until he died of a heart/alzeimer's condition

Lisa: then the bodies weren't found until 8 days after that

Lisa: painful thinking about that

Lisa: older people must have care checks

BOB yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): i agree with the care checks too :( just imagining going around the house with your wife who's already passed in the bathroom... but not knowing she'd already passed...

Lisa: it's terrible.

wyjyoon (Temperance): i wonder how she got the rodent contact disease

Lisa: the article I red didn't say. Hantavirus? contact with mice/rat urine or feces - something like that

Lisa: no clue

Lisa: said she didn't get it from the dogs

Lisa: so some other thing

wyjyoon (Temperance): the mice / rat droppings do make sense. i was thinking maybe she got bit by a rodent or something

wyjyoon (Temperance): but yeah :( care checks for elderly for sure

Effect ['Bardic Inspiration;ATK: 1;SAVE: 1;MORALE: 2'] -> [EXPIRED] [on Lirtimya]

The date is Lad____se, 21st Sin (Late Summer), 589 SGR

Young Moon's phase is Morning Crescent

Old Moon's phase is First Quarter

The time is 2:33 PM

wyjyoon (Temperance): so... lisa and bob, while i have both of you here and it's still quiet...

wyjyoon (Temperance): could i ask questions about spells :D

Lisa: sure

wyjyoon (Temperance): ok cool. so a spell i've always kind of wanted to try using was the anti-vermin barrier spell

wyjyoon (Temperance): but it says "less than 1 hit die"

wyjyoon (Temperance): what does that mean?

wyjyoon (Temperance): *creatures less than 1 hit die

Lisa: so smaller creatures

Lisa: probably like centipedes

Lisa: but maybe not giant spiders

BOB So for example, an opposing priest/mage casts summon swarm. You can cast anti-vermin barrier becasue they are all under 1 HD

BOB regular centipedes, 1 HD giant centipedes 2 HD

'Spring' connected

Lisa: so could have worked on the crabs :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): ohhh ok! so like when ratbone did summon swarm with her crabs right

wyjyoon (Temperance): yay ok! i get it now

BOB Hello Spring

wyjyoon (Temperance): so additional spell question for that specific spell: creatures are generally labeled if they're like... giant or large and whatnot, yes? what's the difference between Just Large and L Large?

BOB So a "giant centipede" is 2 foot long but a Giant is 12 foot tall

BOB So small like Glimber is type S, you are a type M for man sized, L is large as in an Ogre

wyjyoon (Temperance): ohhh

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Hi everybody!

wyjyoon (Temperance): hey spring!

Lisa: Hi Spring :)

BOB (LINK)

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

BOB Humanois

BOB Humanoids

Spring (Ratbone Carder): I thought that was humanosis like some kind of pague

wyjyoon (Temperance): humanosis lol

BOB lol

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hello from a little cabin by a pond. my tiny house got put on foundation this week

BOB Nice

Spring (Ratbone Carder): my north window is all waterfront view, it's gorgeous

BOB Very nice

wyjyoon (Temperance): that sounds so relaxing!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): well not quite like yours, BOB. but a fraction like it

Spring (Ratbone Carder): The south window is horse pasture full of mares

Spring (Ratbone Carder): well not full. about 6 or 8

Lisa: sounds wonderful

Spring (Ratbone Carder): the west window is a field and train track. the east window does not count :-P it's all junk

wyjyoon (Temperance): so... this might be a silly question- but range is how far away you can cast a spell, and area of effect is how much ground the spell can cover right?

BOB yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): ok

BOB so if you cast a Lightning Bolt with a range of 60 .... you cast it next to the wall 80 feet away. The area of effect is 90 feet. So it goes 20 feet to the wall, then bounces back another 70 feet and ...... ZZZZZZZZZ

Spring (Ratbone Carder): yikes

Lisa: that's a weird mathy spell most are easier to figure out

Lisa: you have a spell that works in a 20-ft cube with a range of 60 feet so you can ut that cube anywhere within 60 feet of you

Spring (Ratbone Carder): so i guess we really have to pay the most attention to confined spaces and wide angles, like the flaming hands yeah

BOB yes

'wyjyoon' disconnected

Lisa: burning hands is really simple actually - it's a 120 degree arc out from where your hands are pointing

Lisa: so you can twist a little to point it in a direction but can't avoid the whole arc thing

BOB yeap

Lisa: if it didn't hit Vee it would have hit Zora

'wyjyoon' connected

BOB Wendy is back

Lisa: she went somewhere?

BOB Wendy did too much math and it kicked her out

Spring (Ratbone Carder): that's the risk of math

Temperance: i am back

wyjyoon (Temperance): *ooc

wyjyoon (Temperance): forgot i was logged into tempe

wyjyoon (Temperance): but yeah... no math for me on here anymore i guess :P

Spring: That's a long time of quiet, did I die?

BOB Nope

BOB Carissa is trying to get in

Spring: Oh good.

BOB so the four of you can solve the problems before the men arrive

Spring: no math!

wyjyoon (Temperance): i think the current... matter is a life-sized statue that needs to be lifted out of a hole

BOB 600 pounds of lift

wyjyoon (Temperance): right

Spring: too bad spectral hand is just for remote touch spells that i havne't got any of

wyjyoon (Temperance): and we succeed in the rope tying right?

wyjyoon (Temperance): we just have to roll str and see if we can do it?

BOB You have tied ropes around it

'Carissa' connected

BOB Excellent

wyjyoon (Temperance): ... can i still use the str roll from last session

wyjyoon (Temperance): if we have to roll str

Carissa: I liveeeeeeeeeee

BOB huzzah

Carissa: stupid windows but I am here

BOB It is a very good thing

Lisa: Hi Carissa :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): hey carissa :)

Spring: hi Carissa!

Carissa: hi all!!

BOB Hello

BOB So the quick summary is the time is 2:30 in the afternoon, you are all breathing air, you are at the bottom of the excavation site, you have a 600 pound statue tied up, because Vee likes to tie people up, and you are trying to figure out what and where to go from here

BOB Before you go off to get help, what are the answers you are going to give people when they ask questions

BOB such as "where is Lyselle" or "Are the Sea Devils gone?" or "where is my money!"

Spring: those are intriguing questions

Carissa: I invoke the 5th.

Carissa: And you owe ME for the last.

Spring: 1. dunno. 2. dunno 3. also dunno

wyjyoon (Temperance): 1. haven't seen sign of her 2. no they are not 3. ???

wyjyoon (Temperance): but maybe honest answers are different than answers people want to hear...

Carissa: well they will wonder why we brought up a giant statue but not lychele

BOB Also before I offer it, does the group want a low level henchman of a priest who needs to go adventuring?

BOB As in an acolyte in this church that needs to go grow their fins

Carissa: which....why did we? I mean they couldn't reach it themselves so we just... grabbed it instead? made ourselves the target? we need to find a sea elf because just tossed ourselves in the middle of some unknown war

Carissa: I'm fine with whatever works for whoever

Spring: i'm in favor of adding characters generally

wyjyoon (Temperance): um... so answer to the first question: because vee wanted to take it

wyjyoon (Temperance): to the second one... not sure

wyjyoon (Temperance): if it benefits the group i guess an addition will be ok

BOB So how do you want to handle getting this statue up and out? and what do you do with it after that?

BOB Do you want to go to town first? get help?

Carissa: It has ropes on it... so we try to lift and if we fail we get help?

wyjyoon (Temperance): my thoughts exaactly too

wyjyoon (Temperance): just try ourselves and if it doesn't work get help

Carissa: The sea devils will still be after it so then we find a fortified place for it until we figure out what to do

Carissa: If we put it on the ship then the ship becomes a target and we don't know WHY they want it and/or if we can just destroy it

wyjyoon (Temperance): right

wyjyoon (Temperance): so change from the initial plan of taking it with us?

BOB I do think that is a very good conversation to have In Character probably with the Potentate

BOB and perhaps others

Carissa: To the Potentate!

wyjyoon (Temperance): after we try and lift it or now?

Sasic Masterjumper: Hello there!

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 17]

Vee Barlett: Foresters?

Sasic Masterjumper: Ahhh well I only dig down so far

Sasic Masterjumper: Can't help you there

Vee Barlett: Nah just need help liftin' it out now.

Vee Barlett: Already tied up but we only gots a few muscles between us.

Temperance: It is quite a weighty thing.

<font color="#417700">Temperance: as she readies herself to attempt to lift it.

Ratbone Carder: Wait, do you like climb up into trees and examine them?

Vee Barlett: Them boys went off to do boy things and I'm tired and me arm sore. See all that crusted blood? Hurt meself too much to help.

Ratbone Carder: Maybe use a block and tackle sometimes?

Sasic Masterjumper: Of course, the Green Roof Forest is where I spend most of my time

Sasic Masterjumper: Out on the Reach we have to drag things up the cliffs all the time

Vee Barlett: Forest be alright. Better than caves. Not as great as seas.

Ratbone Carder: Anything's better than caves

Sasic Masterjumper: Why would you want to go into caves?

Temperance: At the behest of another, mostly.

BOB brb last glass of wine

Vee Barlett: I ain't want to. Just somehow end up in them.

Temperance: Tasks that require completion, for another.

Temperance: But would it be alright to get a little help with lifting this? It is important.

Temperance: [CHECK] Charisma (vs. Target 7) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 11]

wyjyoon (Temperance): at least i tried

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: looks tough but in need of some assistance maybe but don't call her weak

Sasic Masterjumper: You all seem like you need a bit of help

Vee Barlett: Yar that'd be kind of ya.

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: flicks some crusted blood away.

Sasic Masterjumper: We should go to town and round up a group

<font color="#417700">Ratbone Carder: strummy strum strum

Sasic Masterjumper: Say why is that little guy just laying there?

Vee Barlett: I can keep watch over this while some of ya go do that.

Vee Barlett: He get hurt.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (is lisa afk?)

Vee Barlett: Needs them churchy folks to give him a look over.

<font color="#417700">Temperance: nods lightly.

Sasic Masterjumper: The Church is supposed to get a new person any day now

Sasic Masterjumper: Not sure what that will do

Lisa: I'm back - just watching

Vee Barlett: Well this be a precious haul so a few of y'all go help get...er, help, and I'll stand guard here.

Ratbone Carder: (singing) we are good people, i swear

Ratbone Carder: (singing) people love us for how much we care

Lisa: lol

Temperance: I'll stop by to see if Priestess Julia can help us with our friend.

Ratbone Carder: (singing) we don't have refinement, we don't look chic

Vee Barlett: Any chance ya got a remainin' heal on ya, Tempe? If'n anything sneaks up while ya gone.

Temperance: I do have some left, yes. Not all used up yet.

<font color="#417700">Temperance: grins lightly and flexes a skinny arm.

Ratbone Carder: (singing) But our gratitude's golden and our love is unique

Sasic Masterjumper: Umm that was to be on Glimber I thought

Carissa (Vee Barlett): HOPEFULLY nothing tries to attack her while you get people but...

Carissa (Vee Barlett): HOPEFULLY nothing tries to attack her while you get people but...

BOB Umm that was to be on Glimber I thought

BOB Sorry

Carissa (Vee Barlett): does he still need one? maybe use the last one on him then

wyjyoon (Temperance): ? i was under the impression we didn't want me to use a spell slot on glimber because he was walking wounded

wyjyoon (Temperance): but yes i can use the last one on him

wyjyoon (Temperance): *he was going to be walking wounded, sorry

BOB Is he walking wounded?

Temperance: Temperance cast a spell NOT memorized.

BOB He cannot take more healing than that

Lisa: he is unconscious

Temperance: Temperance cast a spell NOT memorized.

Temperance: [CAST] Cure Moderate Wounds

Temperance: [SAVE VS] Cure Moderate Wounds

BOB THat is what I thought

BOB Ok so casting that by Temp means he is now walking wounded

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ok news distraction to discuss with lisa: hackman's wife died from hantavirus??? wtf is this murder mystery case??

Glimber Silvernose's health adjusted by +6

wyjyoon (Temperance): wait i didn't cast it on glimber yet

wyjyoon (Temperance): i want to wait to get the ok

Lisa: yes was talking about that before you came in

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ys please let vee keep the 9 hp

wyjyoon (Temperance): ok then casting on glimber

BOB Wendy will tell me

BOB Vee got the 9

Lisa: if you want to leave glimber til later that is fine

Temperance: Temperance cast a spell NOT memorized.

Temperance: [CAST] Cure Moderate Wounds

Temperance: [SAVE VS] Cure Moderate Wounds

Carissa (Vee Barlett): this just gets so very weird! hantavirus isn't common and definitely not something I'd expect from a celebrity?? someone hiking or cleaning up mouse poop but what?? so confused

Temperance: [HEAL] Cure Moderate Wounds [d10 = 9]

Heal [9] -> [to Glimber Silvernose] [STATUS: Heavy]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): wow didn't matter lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): wow where were these rolls when we actually needed them?

wyjyoon (Temperance): anyways, glimber is now walking wounded

wyjyoon (Temperance): so the plan is go to potentate?

Inv Zora Polasis: Thank you Temperance

<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: leans over Glimber

Temperance: Glad I could help!

Glimber Silvernose's health adjusted by -9

Inv Zora Polasis : [Translation] Taske it easy. You'll be fine but you need rest

<font color="#000000">Taske it easy. You'll be fine but you need rest

[understood by: Inv Zora Polasis]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): plan is for most of you or some of you to go round up help with this dude to come get the statue

Carissa (Vee Barlett): THEN we go to the potentate

Glimber Silvernose : [Translation] Did we win?

<font color="#000000">Did we win?

[understood by: Inv Zora Polasis, Glimber Silvernose]

Spring (Ratbone Carder): how quickly does hantavius kill you? would she have survived if someone found her within a few hours of getting ill?

wyjyoon (Temperance): ok sounds good

Inv Zora Polasis : [Translation] Not really. I'll tell you all about it after we get out of here

<font color="#000000">Not really. I'll tell you all about it after we get out of here

[understood by: Inv Zora Polasis, Glimber Silvernose]

Glimber Silvernose: Okay

Temperance: I can go to get some help from the town, though... I don't know how much help I'll be with that task.

wyjyoon (Temperance): do we have to roll anything to climb out of the hole?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): not necessarily, hantavirus is usually fatal but you can have a chance if caught early... but it's so rare that I don't know if they'd have realized it with her unless she specifically said she did something to make them think hantavirus

BOB not to climb out on your own

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ok google says about 50% fatality so maybe improved now with treatments but still flip of a coin

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): so maybe Zora should go?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): better chance?

wyjyoon (Temperance): yeah, i'm fine with that!

Inv Zora Polasis: Try to rest while I see about getting help

<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: tries to climb up

Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Climb Walls [PERCENT:Climb Walls] (vs. Target 60) [FAILURE by 10] [d100 = 70]

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): stupid roll on a click

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ouch

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): hate when it does that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): dex roll?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): okay i see. still freaking sad that her death directly resulted in the death of her spouse and her dog. that's some serious isolation

Inv Zora Polasis: [CHECK] Dexterity (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 17]

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ......

BOB It is easy to climb out

Carissa (Vee Barlett): intimidation roll?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): not really about her husband

BOB on your own without dragging anything

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): dog definitely :(

BOB Just who is going to stay and who is going to town?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): dog for sure, sadly, husband was probably just... going to happen soon :(

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Vee staying

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): thought you said it was hard to climb out?

BOB Carrying 600 pounds yes

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): sad thing was she died 8-9 days before he did and with his Alzheimer's he might not have realized she died and was just wandering the house

'TMO' connected

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): obviously Bob ...

Spring (Ratbone Carder): and not taking his meds or anything

BOB Here is Rothuss to help with the math

Carissa (Vee Barlett): very very probable, and it sounds advanced enough who knows how well he could take care of himself

'JtomTMO' connected

BOB and now you have a mage too

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): so are we out of the hole or not?

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hi TMO

BOB Yes those who want to be up out of the hole are

BOB the Statue is still down there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): statue and vee are in the hole

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you all are tasked with going to town to get ore people to get the statue out of the hole

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): and glimber probably

Spring (Ratbone Carder): Ratbone will go

Carissa (Vee Barlett): he's probably less than 600 lbs....

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I am here

Carissa (Vee Barlett): :)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): Hi TMO :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hi tmo!

wyjyoon (Temperance): hey TMO :)

BOB LOL with Carissa

TMO (Rothuss Carder): sorry for the last minute announcement of our lateness. I believe we *did* talk about it earlier this week, but then there was the whole power outage thing and I plumb forgot about it until they started talking about dinner tonight.

Spring (Ratbone Carder): no worries mate!

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): Hi JTom :)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): as I cannot see earlier chat, is there anything I need to know about our current situation before I dive in mouth first?

wyjyoon (Temperance): tl;dr, vee, glimber and the statue are waiting in the hole as the rest of us are going to town with a forester (?) to get more townspeople to help us with lifting the life sized statue out

wyjyoon (Temperance): i forgot the name of the forester

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Hello!

wyjyoon (Temperance): we did ask forester for help with lifting, but he wanted to get more people

wyjyoon (Temperance): hey Jtom!

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hi JTom!

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): sasic masterjumper

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hi mini!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): More people is good. Since we don't have access to the magic spell that would *easily* lift it out of that hole...

TMO (Rothuss Carder): *cough* *cough*

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol still salty i see

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Go take a nap

TMO (Rothuss Carder): why shouldn't I be? :D It's worth some salt!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): only question is do we want to leave vee and hurt glimber and everyone else leave? she is healed and can probably hold her own if more shark guys show up, but tossing it out there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): can't wait for lirt to punch him out again...

wyjyoon (Temperance): definitely worth the salt, TMO :)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): you are on land so it would need to be a land shark

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss will happily go with town crew

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

BOB Fins to the left, Fins to the right and you're the only bait in town

wyjyoon (Temperance): i would say i don't mind tempe staying, but she wouldn't be any help since she has no spells left

TMO (Rothuss Carder): bait?

wyjyoon (Temperance): the only thing on her is her dagger... or punching

wyjyoon (Temperance): or that too yeah :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): just throw her to the shark and run

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): zora can stay if you are worried - we have more people now

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I only have a magic arrow, stabby, and lighting left

Carissa (Vee Barlett): up to you, mostly worried if glimber stays and keeping him AND statue safe is all

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so either take him or stay behind, all good :)

Spring (Ratbone Carder): so who all is staying? is it enough?

wyjyoon (Temperance): nah, she's pretty well spoken and remembers details pretty well. tempe hasn't gotten hurt yet. if worst comes to worst she can take a few hits

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): ok - zora will stay and the rest can go beg for helps with their diplomacy skills ...

Carissa (Vee Barlett): .....when you put it tha way, strap glimber to your back and go, lmao

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): ok cool, so rothuss, ratbone, lirt, and tempe?

wyjyoon (Temperance): to town?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): yup - go

wyjyoon (Temperance): and zora too if she wants to strap glimber on her back

wyjyoon (Temperance): but coolio

wyjyoon (Temperance): alright let's go

BOB Heading out

<font color="#417700">Rothuss Carder: scrambles up the slope, helping anyone else that needs it.

BOB The group heads off to town

<font color="#417700">Temperance: follows after Rothuss.

BOB Do you want to go to the church? or to the Potentae? or to Lychelle's shop? ;)

BOB Or?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): who sent us?

wyjyoon (Temperance): well, we talked about getting townspeople to help with the statue. what is the best way to get help?

wyjyoon (Temperance): potentate

TMO (Rothuss Carder): to the potentate then, my suggestion

wyjyoon (Temperance): (im)potentate it is

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh man.... don't let rothuss put his foot in his mouth

Carissa (Vee Barlett): thuoght you were just getting help them bringing the statue to the potentate

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I Have Fast Talking!!

Temperance: There's going to be a lot of questions that we will not have an exact answer to when we get there.

Rothuss Carder: So we don't answer them.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you have foot in mouth syndrome

BOB I hear amputation works well for that

Temperance: We will have to if we're going to convince the Potentate that we need her resources from her with the statue.

BOB But you arrive in town an hour or so later

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (if you don't have answers to all the questions, you might want to wait to see the island ruler with all the party... or not....)

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): Hello

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): You came back

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): What did you find?

Rothuss Carder: Like a bad copper piece!

Ratbone Carder: Oh but heads is ucky!

Ratbone Carder: Lucky

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Temperance: We found too many Sahuagin.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): was thinking - whose head is ucky? lol

Ratbone Carder: So many

Carissa (Vee Barlett): rothuss when lirt aims for it... or is that unlucky?

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): Finding them is one problem, dealing with them is another

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): How many did you deal with?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): round about 30

BOB remember she is head of the town guard

Temperance: After 30, I could not keep count.

Rothuss Carder: Just a few too many of those, true. But... it'd be easier to show than tell. Buuuut... we need help to get it out of the pit. Three to five strong folks and some rope, and a wagon to carry it back would be best. Who can you spare for a couple hours?

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Fast-Talking [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 13]

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): A wagon? or Sahuagin?

Rothuss Carder: Just one wagon will be fine. We also have a badly wounded fellow that could use a smooth ride back.

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): I can help with that

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): How big of a wagon?

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): You seem to be missing a few people

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): are we bringing back bodies to the church?

Rothuss Carder: We left them in the pit on guard. And the wounded fellow.

Rothuss Carder: doesn't need to be a huge wagon, unless that's all you've got.

Rothuss Carder: Can carry a full grown man laying down is as big as it needs to be.

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): I have our wood truck, it is not too big, can carry a ..... or not

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): I guess you need a full thing

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (sometihng that can hold 650 lbs)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): a 600 lb man

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): dead weight man

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Temperance: Since I do not want this... large wagon to possibly damage... what is the weight limit on it, if I may ask?

wyjyoon (Temperance): unless all wagons hold 600 lbs stuff

wyjyoon (Temperance): *of stuff

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I'm not sure, tbh

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): Limits? I have no idea

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): I suppse I will just find the biggest one we have

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): and hope that works

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): how many dead men can a wagon carry?

Rothuss Carder: I'm guessing five, six, seven hundred pounds weight or so.

<font color="#417700">Temperance: nods lightly.

BOB Bring out your Dead RING Bring out your Dead RING

Carissa (Vee Barlett): something to haul half a dead horse

Rothuss Carder: I tell you, it was a bear to drag out of there.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): or a full sized bear, exactly

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol Bob - was what I was thinking

Temperance: it must have been, certainly. Perhaps you should have Priestess Julia check you for that possible hernia afterwards.

Lirtimya: Hopefully the cart can handle that much

Rothuss Carder: YES, I agree. Maybe I can find a masseuse around here too...

Carissa (Vee Barlett): think a hernia masseus is a happy ending type and not sure you'll find that....

Temperance: If not, three to five strongest may help with lifting.

Marly Rynnow (Pierwarden): I will get old Bernard's cart, he hauls whale parts in it

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

BOB Goes off

TMO (Rothuss Carder): the masseuse's name is Old Fritz

Spring (Ratbone Carder): hahaha

Temperance: A masseuse for your hernia?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ah yes, the whale carcass cart, forgot to ask for that specifically!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lmao tempe

<font color="#417700">Temperance: looks a little confused.

Rothuss Carder: Nah, for the other bits that aren't torn, just sore.

Bernard Montanne: (COUGH), so what is all (COUGH) this about now? Who wants (COUGH) to get what?

<font color="#417700">Rothuss Carder: steps back.

Rothuss Carder: Just need your wagon and a few strong men to go to the pit and fetch something heavy out for us.

Bernard Montanne: Sigh, That is what (COUGH) I thought I heard. Wh(COUGH)en do you want to go? (COUGH)

Bernard Montanne: (drinks) Ahhhh, Yeah that is nice (COUGH) that is helpful, thank you

TMO (Rothuss Carder): she just needs to come out of her shell and learn more confidence in herself. :D

Bernard Montanne: Had a bad case of the drops last trip

Bernard Montanne: (COUGH) Ok let's get this underway

Temperance: Thank you for your help!

<font color="#417700">Temperance: smiles lightly.

Pulls up a large flat cart with a headboard but only partial side boards

Bernard Montanne: Where are we going?

wyjyoon (Temperance): honestly it's just social skills at this point :) she just needs to learn how to interact with others

Lirtimya: Thank you indeed, we appreiate it much

wyjyoon (Temperance): read the room and whatnot

<font color="#417700">Temperance: thinks about whether the "case of the drops" is contagious.

BOB You manage to get the three of them back to the excavation pit

BOB total trip there and back is about 3 hours

BOB Still afternoon

wyjyoon (Temperance): do we get to know if the coughing is contagious?

Rothuss Carder: Right! Let's get some rope down there so one of those hardy mariners can tie it up and we can drag it out.

wyjyoon (Temperance): i'm curious now lol

Temperance: [CHECK] Strength (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 3]

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: has been keeping watch since they left for signs of shark dudes.

BOB With Temp's excellent rolls you manage to hoist the statue up and out of the pit

BOB and onto the wagon, laying flat

wyjyoon (Temperance): wait what lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lmao

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): yay

wyjyoon (Temperance): happy to do heavy lifting i guess :D

Vee Barlett: Damn them priestly wrists gettin' stronger. You start a new workout?

<font color="#417700">Temperance: shrugs her shoulders.

Temperance: Maybe I should punch someone to test it out?

BOB Just needed one person to make the roll for the group of workers Temp pulled it off easily

<font color="#417700">Temperance: grins lightly.

Lirtimya: Well there's a Rothuss perfect for the punch right there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): d10 or our own str?

BOB already done

Carissa (Vee Barlett): oh her got it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): shhh just slightly slow tonight

BOB is that more or less than normal? :P

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: laughs

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lately? normal :(

Temperance: I think he's had more than enough punching with the one you gave him.

Vee Barlett: Ain't such a thing.

Temperance: Although... maybe one day...

BOB So you have the statue on the wagon, the group is all up top

<font color="#417700">Rothuss Carder: sighs heavily.

BOB NOW what do you do?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): take it to the potentate

Temperance: So, where do we want to take this? Potentate?

BOB letting you come up with a story before you start talking with the workers

Temperance: Show her what we found?

Vee Barlett: Yar. Best to make a plan with her.

Rothuss Carder: To the Potato Tate?

BOB as this is THE object of several people's intent

<font color="#417700">Temperance: muffles a laugh.

Inv Zora Polasis: You know we didn't solve much of anything

TMO (Rothuss Carder): we can just auction it to the highest bidder

Temperance: Well, it wasn't going to be guaranteed that we were going to go in there and solve their problems.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I believe I missed the session where we were tasked with the mission. thought we were tasked with finding the missing explorers. didn't know anything about this statue until we found it

Inv Zora Polasis: We were supposed to help stop the saughin attacks

Vee Barlett: We killed things. We know why they comin' this way. Now we gotta figure out what to do about it.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I did read the logs, but that was... eons? ... ago? A previous life, certainly.

Inv Zora Polasis: We stole what they wanted so I'm not sure we didn't make it worse

Inv Zora Polasis: But giving the statue to the potentate gives her bargaining power

Rothuss Carder: Maybe, but we killed most of them too.

Inv Zora Polasis: And the key

Vee Barlett: They be wantin' the key the girl took. Now we got that AND the statue so they're attack be more precise. Better to defend against precise for them that's left.

Inv Zora Polasis: Did we? They seemed like cockroaches. They just kept coming

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: grins

Rothuss Carder: True, there's always more cockroaches.

Vee Barlett: We'll find out tonight, yar?

Temperance: If they were cockroaches, maybe they would have been easier to squish.

Inv Zora Polasis: Did the guard say they were getting attacked while we were gone?

Vee Barlett: That pearl diver got attacked while wes was gone.

Vee Barlett: Ain't sure if they are in town, too. Gonna have to ask.

<font color="#417700">Rothuss Carder: mutters aside to Ratbone, "What're the odds the potato tate uses the key and statue to try and gain the power of the gods and melts herself into goo instead?"

wyjyoon (Temperance): i guess i know what i'm putting in summary this time

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): what is it?

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): What did you find?

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): I know what that Elf told us and what we talked about before you left

Rothuss Carder: Death, blood, teeth, traps, more death, punchy witches, and very tight whale intestines.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (duoble checking that.... :P)

Vee Barlett: Elf was dead when we got here....

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): I have been dealing with all sorts of problems of fishermen going out without guards,

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): You told me what she said,

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): What is wrong?

Inv Zora Polasis: All we know is where they said it belongs and that the saughin really want it

Inv Zora Polasis: I'm not sure taking it will stop their attacks on the island

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): What is the Stone?

Inv Zora Polasis: And we are not sure what would happen if you put this statue on the throne that they want

Vee Barlett: We didn't tell any of that.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Do you know where that throne is?

Inv Zora Polasis: No idea

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): deep sigh

Inv Zora Polasis: But I am having horrific imaginings of it coming to life and doing evil things when placed on this throne of teeth

Shislif (MeLange): are we just using the map - angler island?

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Did you find Lycelle? and her workers?

wyjyoon (Temperance): yes :) back in town talking to the potato tate

Shislif (MeLange): cool thx just checkin

Carissa (Vee Barlett): just making sure with chat... but we didn't tell her any of that :P

Inv Zora Polasis: We did not. Lychelle was taken deep into the abyss

wyjyoon (Temperance): ok that's how i remember it too

Rothuss Carder: I have the ... uh ... remains of several others of them though. For burial.

Inv Zora Polasis: We looked but could not find her. I don't think she survived since she did not have what the saughin wanted from her

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Did anyone survive?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): it's possible julia told her more, but she only told us they didn't know why they were attacked so just seeing if she is suspicious or if it's a story overlook thing

Vee Barlett: We did.

She nods

wyjyoon (Temperance): also we wheeled the statue on a wagon, can't she see it?

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): I am glad for that

BOB That is outside, you are in the office where you met her last time

Vee Barlett: And that one guard. Olam?

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh we just left it outside?

Ratbone Carder: And what's his bucket, the scared buy

Ratbone Carder: yeah him

Rothuss Carder: There was Oscar. Brought him out last time, right?

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Who?

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Inv Zora Polasis: Olmes

wyjyoon (Temperance): i'm blanking on his name too guys

wyjyoon (Temperance): ok there

wyjyoon (Temperance): that

Vee Barlett: Yar, him. Sorry been a long week.

Ratbone Carder: Thank you. I guarded him all day long and now I forgot his name

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, Olmes/Oscar, you know what I meant.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Olmes... I do not know that name, unless he is a fisherman?

Inv Zora Polasis: He was with Lychelle

Inv Zora Polasis: and her team

Temperance: I believe he was with Lychelle when she went down to find things.

Inv Zora Polasis: The only one that survived

Temperance: Witnessed quite a few too many horrors.

Vee Barlett: Son of one of them guards, I think.

Rothuss Carder: Y'know, it's never a good thing in the stories when the person in chartge doesn't remember the name of the sole survivor. Puts a lot of doubt on the survivor's story...

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hold on cat....

User has gone AFK. (Carissa)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): no cat to hold on to

TMO (Rothuss Carder): and I refuse to make Trump quote on the grounds that I have principles.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): What does the Statue look like? What can we do with it?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): thank you

Inv Zora Polasis: I would like to have the Priestesses Julia and Temperance examine it thoroughly

Inv Zora Polasis: They may be able to detect magic and evil within it perhaps

Inv Zora Polasis: It could be dangerous

Rothuss Carder: I suppose you could probably see it too. If Zora trusts you, I guess.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): no clue what it looks like

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: smiles

Temperance: I've used up all my spells for a detect magic, I'm afraid. But I could certainly take a look at it to see if I can find anything out of the ordinary.

<font color="#417700">Rothuss Carder: whispers, "Got any protection from goo spells?"

<font color="#417700">Ratbone Carder: mutters "yeah, nope."

Item: The Stone Which Abides

Rothuss Carder: Alright, just get ready to duck then.

Shislif (MeLange): nice

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): The Stone Which Abides . Upon close inspection, this life-sized statue appears to be carved of serpentine. The statue is that of a seated humanoid figure holding a smaller humanoid figure draped over both arms. Due to aeons of erosion, the detail is so poor that it is difficult to make out either figure's race; however, close study implies subtle eel-like characteristics to both of the principles. The statue reveals a faint aura of magic if detected for but does not seem to be able to manifest any power other than remaining impervious to chipping or breaking. Neither the most magical of weapons (not even Surge!) nor the most destructive of spells is able even to mar the smallest portion of the statue's surface. The most powerful magical probes reveal only that the stone "sleeps"; its true power has not yet manifested ... The Stone Which Abides is obviously a very valuable piece, regardless of its true origin and purpos

Shislif (MeLange): just like the dude

Shislif (MeLange): sounds like a cool statue

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): yup - put it on the throne of teeth and I'm betting it comes to life

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): and tries to destroy the world

MeLange: and sleeps with your mom

Spring (Ratbone Carder): whoa

Shislif (MeLange): ooc

TMO (Rothuss Carder): probably good odds on that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): who are these eel people?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol sharif

TMO (Rothuss Carder): eelple

BOB Cats and Dogs living together

Vee Barlett: Be nice if we could find a sea elf. Bet they'd know things.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): peopeel?

BOB Potentate Rynnow... just think you could save the lives of thousands of registered voters

BOB How much are you telling her?

wyjyoon (Temperance): so do we know all of this information or do we need to go to julia to detect the magic / that the stone is sleeping?

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh ok

wyjyoon (Temperance): that question went totally null lol

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): Zora thinks its dangerous and would like it taken to the church rather than just handed to the eager politician

wyjyoon (Temperance): idk, how are we in terms of trusting her?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): for once agree with zora

Carissa (Vee Barlett): regarding the church

wyjyoon (Temperance): ok yeah church sounds good too

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): making it sound like its for safety reasons might help us do that

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): gee thanks Vee :D

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): because idk... i feel weird with this potentate

TMO (Rothuss Carder): never trust the potato tates. they have squinty eyes.

wyjyoon (Temperance): it's hard to describe bad gut feelings with potato tates

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yeah.... bob doesn't usually forget what we tell npcs months later so now I'm suspicious of her knowing so much....

Carissa (Vee Barlett): and her giving it over ot save her people even if she is "innocent"

Vee Barlett: We'll take it to Julia. She be able to check it over. Figured we'd let ya know first we alive, though. Then we figure out next steps.

Vee Barlett: Like if y'all ever talked to sea elves 'cause somethin' bigger at play and y'all seem to be stuck in the middle of it.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): I feel torn between several competing interests

Vee Barlett: Yer tellin' me. Who be yer competin' interests?

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): The local guild, they want to start fishing and pearling again, the Church who wants to recover from the death of their last leader, the Sea Devils that want that statue you found, and now apparently I will have townsfolk asking me for their relatives and I have to tell them they are dead and you could not find them.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Beyond the normal running of the island

Rothuss Carder: Welcome to leadership, I guess.

Vee Barlett: Why ya torn? Just figure out which to prioritize, yeah?

Rothuss Carder: We are sorry about your people though. We got to them as fast as we could. And we brought back Oscar.

Inv Zora Polasis: Olmes

Rothuss Carder: Who might be a stooge.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, him.

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Do you think they changed him?

Vee Barlett: The guild ain't gonna be fully safe 'til we figure out what to do with this statue. The church got a new leader to help them through so ya can deligate that task.

Shislif (MeLange): he's like oscar's the worst!

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): infected him in some way? Is it safee to have him in town?

Vee Barlett: Relatives? Well, that be a good leader to address directly.

Vee Barlett: Gonna have to ask the church how he be. They be lookin' after him now.

Inv Zora Polasis: Olmes is fine. He is traumatized but is not a threat in my opinion.

Rothuss Carder: Vee's got a good way about her. Maybe if you sweet-talk her enough, she might speak to the relatives for you?

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Can you take the statue away from here?

<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: coughs

Vee Barlett: Yar that our plan. Take it to the church to look over.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): I mean off of Angler all together

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): plenty of room in the hold for evil statue

Vee Barlett: Not without a plan.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Take it someplace, dump it in the sea

wyjyoon (Temperance): i knew she was going to say she didn't want it

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): knarrs have good storage space

TMO (Rothuss Carder): can we put it in a barrel of holy water?

Vee Barlett: So they attack me ship? If they can catch her.

Vee Barlett: To Osterhold to sell off for someone else? Them sea devils might get it later and hell breaks loose.

Vee Barlett: Maybe we gotta find a way to destroy it.

Rothuss Carder: Any volcanos around here?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Temperance: We shouldn't try to destroy it too hastily. We don't know what the statue is capable of.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): statue was indestructible I thought - maybe we find throne of teeth and destroy that

Vee Barlett: Ward it against evil if possible for now since them sea devils ain't like that. Then see if we can find someone, ANYONE who can tell us what we got ourselves into for the sake of this island.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): give it a bunch of sugar and case tooth decay

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (vee doesn't know that, lol)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): let it rot

Vee Barlett: But not until we get our reward and some rest.

Temperance: I can ward it against evil once I sleep and regain some strength.

Inv Zora Polasis: It should be safe in the church for a night or two at least

BOB laughs, 9 out of 10 dentists recomend flossing your Throne of Teeth with a statue of an eldritch god

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): LOL

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol quote

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we're the 10th dentist

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol quote (2)

Rothuss Carder: How good do you think those shark boys are at climbing cliffs? Think hanging it over the edge of one of those tall cliffs out there would keep it away from them?

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): I think that if they sniff that we have this they will not stop looking

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): We need a plan to make them believe that the Stone has been found and is not here anymore

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Vee Barlett: Ward it against evil AND rub smellin' salts on it to hide the scent?

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): If you take the stone away, we can host a celebration and have other ships go off after you are gone,

<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: nods

Rothuss Carder: Then what?

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): If you leave tomorrow, then we host a celebration, send two other ships off

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): They will not know which ship it is on

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): and hopefully they will not suspect yours

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): we got the speedy masthead?

wyjyoon (Temperance): yes

Rothuss Carder: Those other two boats might be in danger though.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): But what will you do with it?

wyjyoon (Temperance): or was that masthead the one that summons sharks?

wyjyoon (Temperance): i don't remember

Vee Barlett: So you want us to take YER problem away? But you ain't tellin' us anything except you'll cover for us? But not how to solve it?

BOB Both

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh ok wow good job wendy brain

Rothuss Carder: She's grouchy when she's deprived of something she wanted.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): I do not know where the Throne of Teeth that you talked about is, if you know and want to take it there be my guest

Inv Zora Polasis: No!

Inv Zora Polasis: Umm no we don't want to take it there

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Throws up her hands

Inv Zora Polasis: But what you say makes sense

Vee Barlett: Nah. I'm sayin' ya hired us to solve yer problem and it's been a heap of more problems.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): As long as it is not here then that makes my life easier

Rothuss Carder: Not you, Poatentate, Vee

Rothuss Carder: I was talking about her.

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): I promised you pearls and I will give them to you no matter what

Inv Zora Polasis: If we can just get it home and off the water, we should be all right

wyjyoon (Temperance): i told you so (2)

Inv Zora Polasis: Right?

Vee Barlett: Look. How about we take it to the church and we talk it over as a crew after we all get some baths? It ain't night yet.

Vee Barlett: Me arm sore and Glimbs still out cold.

Glimber Silvernose: I'm awake!

Rothuss Carder: A barrel of holy water hanging from the yardarm ought to be about as far from their sniffers as we can get.

<font color="#417700">Glimber Silvernose: closes his eyes again

Vee Barlett: Me arm sore annd Glimbs still bein' politely quiet.

Ratbone Carder: I don't suppose somebody can take it to the open sea and dump it far from shore?

Vee Barlett: Matey can look at potential places we can sail to if'n we take up that option.

Vee Barlett: That be givin' it to the shark devils.

Rothuss Carder: Dumping it in the sea probably puts it right back in their claws though.

<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: nods

Ratbone Carder: Well yeah, way far away

Rothuss Carder: Top of a mountain makes more sense to me.

Vee Barlett: Maybe the snow guy will take it.

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: snorts

Ratbone Carder: I thought they

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): We do not have any mountains here on Angler

Ratbone Carder: d keep attacking until they get it back

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Take it to Borienquen

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): or even farther away

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): take it to the deserts

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): I am only worried about us

wyjyoon (Temperance): to the pyramids?

Vee Barlett: Yar. It shows.

Vee Barlett: Transfer yer problem to someone else. Got it.

wyjyoon (Temperance): i mean... aren't we kind of the same way too unless we're being paid?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): SHHHHHH

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): it was just right there in front of me, too hard to resist :P

Inv Zora Polasis: So we will come back and discuss this tomorrow?

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): If you are still here I will be glad to meet with you in the morning

wyjyoon (Temperance): i'm glad i didn't have tempe say it in character, god that would've been crazy

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): But if you are gone over night let me know so I can send out decoys for you

Rothuss Carder: Always love a good decoy. Thank you.

wyjyoon (Temperance): i'm glad i didn't have tempe say it in character, god that would've been crazy

Vee Barlett: Really want a good night sleep so wouldn't be until first thing in the mornin' if that be what happens.

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: waves casually with her bloodied arm.

Inv Zora Polasis: We need payment before we leave and we need to return things to your mage Laurish

BOB Nod leads you out to your wagone

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): unless she paid us already

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Yes, here you go

Kara Rynnow (Potentate): Hands over a bag of pearls

Inv Zora Polasis: Thank you

<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: smiles at Vee

Nod (Human): Nod leads you to your wagon

Vee Barlett: At least she kept her bargain...

BOB Are you going to the church? or the Inn? where are you keeping the statue overnight?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): she wants us to leave tonight

Rothuss Carder: And she didn't try to become a god.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): she can wish as she wants, we need sleep

Carissa (Vee Barlett): AGAIN

Vee Barlett: Not yet at least.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): statue inside church?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we can offer to sleep there if it needs guarding

Shislif (MeLange): 2nd

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): we need to return the ring and extra water breathing potions and maybe the chuvor to mage? We promised him a cut of what we found

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): I think all we found as treasure was 36 pearls and the weapons

Carissa (Vee Barlett): maybe we take the statue there too since mage to look it over?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): then church

Carissa (Vee Barlett): then maybe a pearl or two for the townspeople helping drag it around lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): sounds good to me

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): mage lives at the very top of the island - do we want to wagon it all over? :)

BOB is about 7 miles to his tower

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that's doable? and if not we ask him to comve here to us

BOB It would be well after nightfall if you go up there now

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I could probably disc the statue there, but not there and back.

BOB for the wagon or sending someone to talk to him

Carissa (Vee Barlett): sighhhh

TMO (Rothuss Carder): tomorrow

Carissa (Vee Barlett): what time is it?

BOB not yet 7 PM

TMO (Rothuss Carder): tomorrow = my disc

Vee Barlett: Nod, any chance ya can convince the Mage to meet us at the church?

Vee Barlett: Tell 'em it urgent.

wyjyoon (Temperance): brb getting more tea

User has gone AFK. (wyjyoon)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): not seeing stuff on the party sheet

Shislif (MeLange): tea is good

Nod (Human): I can go

Nod (Human): He will maybe come in the morning

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): we should decide how much to give mage back before he shows up

Inv Zora Polasis: I don't blame him

<font color="#417700">Rothuss Carder: nods to Nod.

Vee Barlett: Yar that fine at this rate.

'wyjyoon' disconnected

Carissa (Vee Barlett): if I remember, we have two water potions we didn't use plus the remaining ones had one sip left... so those back and, er.... some amount of pearls that I don't know the value of to offer

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: heads toward the church.

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): do we give him the chuvor? can't see us needing it

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): don't want back in the abyss ...

Carissa (Vee Barlett): how much do we have left?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I hope we don't but... if we get near the stupid throne...

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): think we all had 2 doses and we took 1 each - also not on the party sheet

BOB So Nod goes off to tell the Mage to come in the morning to the church

BOB Yeah the party sheet got a bit messed up

BOB but it should be on people's individual sheets

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yeah and I haven't done the site party pack yet so can't remember how many pouches total

Carissa (Vee Barlett): well we can offer it

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): just asking - not saying we have to

Carissa (Vee Barlett): nope only water potion on sheet not chuvor

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): remembered he did ask for a share of what we got in exchange for giving us potions

Carissa (Vee Barlett): vee would like to hold on to hers just in case... but given it does "weird things" to people...

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): it is an effort to make those so it was a very fair request

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes good with that

Carissa (Vee Barlett): I'm not always great at judging fair with game items as I don't know value and all :)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): give him the statue, keep the potions? :D

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): think of what it took Shi to make healing potions - same kind of thing

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): it takes time and gold as is everything magic :)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol true

Carissa (Vee Barlett): maybe the chuvor will help balance it out without losing all our pearls ;)

BOB so final problem for this evening before sleep. Church or Inn ? for the statue and who ever is staying with it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): church to help protect them if anything comes for the statue

BOB Very well

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Check with the priest, see if she wants us to stay with the statue

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): will protect but cries inside for fire and food and bed at the Inn

BOB Julia is not there, she is off heloing at Beacon House, might be home late tonight, but the acolytes will stay with the statue because you said it is important

Shislif (MeLange): 2nd

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): yay acolytes

Vee Barlett: Any of y'all got any rum on ya?

Vee Barlett: Better: healin' rum?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): won't ask how she got acolytes so fast

Ironmark Nicklewhisk: Rum? for what?

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: gestures to all of herself.

User has gone AFK. (Lisa)

Vee Barlett: It been a rough day. Night. Week?

BOB There already where some there, they are very low level, 0 to 1st

Ironmark Nicklewhisk: I suppose we can find some for you

Vee Barlett: If y'all can't heal the body, at least give me some rum to heal the mind.

Ironmark Nicklewhisk: We can try to help your body

Carissa (Vee Barlett): Ironmark Nicklewhisk? Fun name. Child of a baker and blacksmith?

Vee Barlett: Be nice if ya could.

BOB I know not every body has a body like you

BOB But I've gotta have faith

Spring (Ratbone Carder): some to guard the statue, some to guard the town?

BOB Did everyone want to sleep on the floor? or in a bed at the Inn?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): guess when no one said where they were except rothuss, vee, and mel lol

<font color="#417700">MeLange: lunges

Ratbone Carder: change of plan, friends, I'm at the church instead

MeLange: Hey that's an effing great trident you got there Vee

Vee Barlett: Oh thank them gods. I ain't have the patient to deal with yer brother.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): *patience

Vee Barlett: Thanks, Mel. It ain't teleport me nowhere, but it still pretty great.

MeLange: Just because there are other great tridents out there, don't mean your trident is any less great

Ratbone Carder: oh yeah Vee, I get it. Don't worry, I have practice

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: laughs

MeLange: oh wow a teleportation trident would've been amazing!

Rothuss Carder: Obviously you're both completely mental. I am a Joy to have about.

Vee Barlett: Right?? And it were right within' me grasps! Even stabbed me a bit. Damn, it was a good stab, so sharp...

MeLange: Meh, you're back streches are basic

Vee Barlett: Wish Lirt were here to knock ya out again.

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): she's knocked out already ;)

wyjyoon (Temperance): gettin her zzs in

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

MeLange: Well hey Vee, chances are that kinda trident is too much power for one person to have, you woulda been driven mad or looney, chances are maybe... or incredibly powerful I suppose

Rothuss Carder: To be completely fair to me, who would have expected *that* from *her*? Who'd be looking to defend that?

MeLange: But why take the risk

Vee Barlett: Because I could be extremely powerful so why not?

Vee Barlett: Why ya think she my first matey?

MeLange: yea fair

Glimber Silvernose's health adjusted by +3

Ratbone Carder: heh

Vee Barlett: Lirt threw a great punch.

Vee Barlett: Ain't hard to say nice things when they deserved.

Rothuss Carder: It's also easier for nice people to say nice things.

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): Did you find the missing people?

Vee Barlett: Beside Olmes? Nah. Just lots of shark and shark devils.

Rothuss Carder: Well... some of them..

MeLange: baby sharks?

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): So you came back for supplies to go look for them again?

Inv Zora Polasis: I don't think anyone else survived

Vee Barlett: That statue.

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): Tell me about it

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): Is it what our departed Sea Elf friend was looking for?

Inv Zora Polasis: I'm afraid so

Inv Zora Polasis: It seems to be the stone that abides

Inv Zora Polasis: Now the potentate wants us to take it off the island

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): What does it do?

Inv Zora Polasis: We were hoping you might be able to tell us

Inv Zora Polasis: Or at least how evil it is

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): If the Sea Devils want it I cannot imagine that it can be a good thing

Rothuss Carder: And if we need a barrel of holy water to store it in.

Vee Barlett: Or what to do with it.

Vee Barlett: Or if any sea elf come visit to tell us about it.

BOB Listens to you explain all that you know and what the Potentate said

<font color="#417700">MeLange listens attentively

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): That is a good idea to take it away from here, I am not certain where the best place for it is

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): We do not have many resources here so that will be difficult to defend it

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): the research for who might know, I cannot do

Inv Zora Polasis: The sea elves might know?

Inv Zora Polasis: If we knew where to find them

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): Yes that seems likely

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): But exacly the problem, where to find them?

<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: wishes Hiero were here

Vee Barlett: Ask the dead sea elf?

Vee Barlett: Ain't that something y'all can do?

Shislif (MeLange): brb bio

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): That is a possibility

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): We do have something of hers

Inv Zora Polasis: She has not been buried yet?

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): you could take that to the Cathedral

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): She was buried at sea

Vee Barlett: And back to Osterhold again.

Vee Barlett: Whatcha have of hers?

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): But we have her braceletts

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): rothuss has the bracers

TMO (Rothuss Carder): (I was about to say...)

Vee Barlett: She had braceletts too?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): fully braced

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): (bracelet, not bracers) we saved them in case we needed to give them to a realative

Vee Barlett: They magic?

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): No, just simple shells

Vee Barlett: Oh.

Inv Zora Polasis: But a proper divination might help

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: stills wistful about the magic teleporting trident.

Ratbone Carder: see? he has good ideas sometimes

Inv Zora Polasis: Always

Rothuss Carder: No, don't point them out. She'll just not do them out of spite then.

<font color="#417700">Rothuss Carder: winks at Zora and Ratbone.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): meant zora

Vee Barlett: Yar, that the spirit, Matey.

Rothuss Carder: Careful she doesn't mutiny, Cap'n.

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): (sees all the things noted above in the description)

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): This is obviously some magical artifact for them, it was hidden, and now we need them to know it is gone from here

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): How can we do that

Vee Barlett: But who hide it originally?

Rothuss Carder: I suppose we can drag it through the water behind us.

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): Can you tell the dolphins Vee?

Vee Barlett: Tell them what?

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): Or the Sharks? that you are taking it away from here and off to where ever

Inv Zora Polasis: The Potentate wanted to host a large celebration for its removal

Vee Barlett: I ain't claimin' to take it. I can let them spread rumors it be gone, though.

Inv Zora Polasis: She offfered to try to give us cover

Rothuss Carder: We should make sure Oscar knows it's gone, just in case he is a stooge.

Inv Zora Polasis: Olmes

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, him.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Vee Barlett: Thinkin' you the stooge here...

Rothuss Carder: Has anyone explained to her what a stooge is yet?

<font color="#417700">Inv Zora Polasis: bites her lip and stays silent

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): You are the only ship here in the harbor that can take this

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): If you head south instead of north

Vee Barlett: Yar yar....

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): that would distract them

Vee Barlett: Back home like was me plan?

Vee Barlett: Wait...

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: looks at Matey to see if she calcuated right.

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): If you go north you will travel right through where we encountered the Sea Elf and Sharks on the way here

Rothuss Carder: We could sail backwards, so it looked like we went north.

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): if you go south around....

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): Looks at Rothuss

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: looks at Lirt for a catrography roll.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): (I am cracking myself up here....) :D

Vee Barlett: Any chance I can leave him here with ya?

Vee Barlett: Hmm, nah I don't hate ya.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): ahhh.... I needed that...

Julia Fitzenhagen (formerly Axel Palmroth): If we can send a ship north, they will be in danger but hopefully they can be quick and avoid it

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Navigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 2]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Sage Knowledge, Island Kingdoms [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 5]

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: tries to make sense of the plan with matey napping.

Vee Barlett: Yar ya got a point and only puts us off a little from our original path, methinks.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): right??

Inv Zora Polasis: And a safer trip home would be most helpful

Carissa (Vee Barlett): confirm? I am too tired to know if it adds an extra day or how it messes up our schedule

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): what schedule?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Sorry I was up a moment ago

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol fair

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): we're done with the time pressing tasks

Carissa (Vee Barlett): more the expected time to return to osterhold versus this plan and whatever it does

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): we got the cash for the dads - we delivered the priestess

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ...and is osterhold south or north?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): think it is north

Carissa (Vee Barlett): all true but vee would like to aim for a port to drop this statue off at even though I suspect we won't make it

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Cartography [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 9]

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): so we go south and then east or west and then north later?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I wish to acquire knowledge

Carissa (Vee Barlett): my thought is the more time on sea, the more risk of them finding us versus the quicker we get to different land, the better chance to get rid of this without trouble

BOB You can sail North to go back the way you came, or you can sail South and East to go around the southern part of Borinquen and then up the eastern side of the island

BOB The quick route the dangerous route is north and east to Osterhold

Rothuss Carder: Sometimes you gotta juke before you head for the goal.

MeLange: hmmm i like jukes

BOB The longer route through new territory is south and east

Rothuss Carder: if you go straight there, they know right where to intercept you.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): that seems like a good idea

Ratbone Carder: true facts

MeLange: how it is

Rothuss Carder: Okay Lirt. Say all that again louder so Vee understands it.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so more dangerous to go route they expect or keep statue on sea longer? vee will take the sea danger over ambush danger

<font color="#417700">Vee Barlett: rolls eyes

<font color="#417700">MeLange: also rolls eyes

Rothuss Carder: (he's not always Vee's punching bag. ;) )

TMO (Rothuss Carder): (he's not always Vee's punching bag. ;) )

Vee Barlett: Yer the idiot from the mountains. Just ask her to speak slower. Ya don't gotta use me as a scapegoat.

Lirtimya: I say we go a longer pattern, but not too long

Vee Barlett: You don't think a pi....sailor knows this?

Vee Barlett: Yar, agreement there, Matey.

<font color="#417700">MeLange clears throat

MeLange: 2nd

Rothuss Carder: Thanks, Lirt. Good job.

Lirtimya: Was someone talking to me?

MeLange: I think it was Roth

Rothuss Carder: Must've been the wind.

Inv Zora Polasis: So we all agree, south it is!

<font color="#417700">MeLange points at roth

Lirtimya: I think you're imagining thigs Mel, I don't see anyone there

Vee Barlett: Just a blowhard.

Rothuss Carder: So that's a No to the 'sailing backwards' plan though? Shame...

Vee Barlett: But a probably to draggin' ya through the water.

MeLange: Fair I could be imagining things... it's happened before

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): no keel hauling the crew please

MeLange: still end of day my votes with Vee

TMO (Rothuss Carder): (you know it's a success when an NPC has to stop mid-sentence to just stare confusedly at you. :D)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Shislif (MeLange): nice

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

BOB grins

BOB So next week we head off with the statue in the hold

BOB but a quick talk with the mage to start

Shislif (MeLange): will abide

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): sounds good

TMO (Rothuss Carder): It's very likely I won't be here at all, but theoretically possible I might before end of session. But no holding your breath for it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yarrrr

TMO (Rothuss Carder): we will be emptying two large storage units and then driving 5 hours with it all on Friday

Lisa: we have chuvor for that

Carissa: lol

Shislif (MeLange): you mean irl?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): yes

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I'll be there

Shislif (MeLange): lol nice

Spring: godness

Shislif (MeLange): wait isn't today friday?

Lisa: safe driving

TMO (Rothuss Carder): yes, Mini's back issues mean he can't help lift anything, so we're leaving him home

Carissa: have funnnnn!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): next Friday

Carissa: yeah we all got the party invites

Carissa: er I mean...

Shislif (MeLange): ah makes sense :)

MeLange: best of luck you can do it!

Shislif (MeLange): ooc

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I sure hope so!

Shislif (MeLange): you just have to believe

Lisa: is that the last of your stuff to move?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I will have my laptop with me, just in case we're unable to hit the road Friday and don't leave until Saturday.

Carissa: update windows so FG doesn't hate you

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Yep. the local storage units have already been emptied, but the big ones back west still have to come.

Shislif (MeLange): how's the weather?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it updates tonight

TMO (Rothuss Carder): going to cool down this weekend, then warm up during hte week. Not sure about next weekend.

Shislif (MeLange): cool cool

Shislif: have a great week everyone :)
