Inv Zora Polasis: I don't think I have enough strength to swim in open ocean waters

Vee Barlett: Think they miss ya?

Glimber Silvernose: No one thinks much of me though, is why I left to go adventuring

BOB Fins to right, Fins to the left and your the only bait in town

Rothuss Carder: Great, now we have spy sharks too

Vee Barlett: laughs

Vee Barlett: Just remember the ocean can always hear you.

Rothuss Carder: But can it sea me?

Temperance: Not trying to disrespect it, just stating my preferences based on experience.

Vee Barlett: Depends on the critter.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (lol to the pun)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): I'm sorry _ unexpected. I have to go. No emergency. all is okay but goodnight all

Rothuss Carder: Whither to, Cap'n Varlet?

Vee Barlett: raises brow

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (the islands have the nice sand?)

Carissa (Vee Barlett): islands are nice

BOB Vee can see that there are at least four or five places with docks for a ship the size of the Lady

BOB You can see on the map across the bay there is that large sandy beach area,

BOB that is about 5 to 7 miles long

BOB This side does not have the deep soft sand

Vee Barlett: Yar if we dock here we can explore the beach.

BOB but no hard shore either

BOB Here on the barrier islands you cannot see the main island beach, but you can see the mountains rising off to the north

BOB Where you are

BOB Beach too far away to see

Carissa (Vee Barlett): i am not able to make decisions tonight so.... you three! decide!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you have me for maybe another hour

BOB Hill small mountain you can see

BOB Need those again?

Rothuss Carder: We're probably safest out here, in the shelter of the island.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): need a lot more than that

Rothuss Carder: Over by the beach we could have almost anything come down off the mountain

Vee Barlett: Yar that what I'm tryin' to say!

BOB Here on the barrier islands is where Vee found the various small hamlets

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (sorry not tired enough to allow her to give him credit ;) )

Vee Barlett: grumbles and does that.

Rothuss Carder: poses on the front of the boat and points the way.

Vee Barlett: still grumbles as she navigates the way he points.

Rashida Montarac: HO the Knarr!

Rashida Montarac: WHO are you

Rothuss Carder: ROTHUSS. WHO are you?

Rashida Montarac: Captain Montarac

wyjyoon (Temperance): grabbing charger brb

Rashida Montarac: Of the smooth sailing Climberbond

Vee Barlett: Climberbond? That be an interestin' name.

Vee Barlett: Captain Vee of the Grimm Lady.

Rothuss Carder: Sorry! Didn't mean to sail this close to you. I missed your masts against the island behind in the dusk light.

Rashida Montarac: Thank you I named her myself

Rashida Montarac: Chuckles

Rashida Montarac: Aye, she can hide among the shallows and POUNCE when I need her too

Vee Barlett: Where ya sail her around?

BOB You can see it is more of a half longboat

Rothuss Carder: Would prefer not to be pounced upon, thanks!

BOB enough space for a dozen rowers, but not much storage

Rashida Montarac: So where are you out of Captain Vee

Rashida Montarac: Have not seen you around these parts before

Vee Barlett: Osterhold.

Rashida Montarac: Osterhold?

Vee Barlett: Me ship newer to these parts. Just got her chrstened not long ago.

Rashida Montarac: Where is that?

Vee Barlett: North part o' the Island.

Rashida Montarac: Huh, really? then you are aa LONG way from home

Vee Barlett: Yar! Gotta sail the seas! Visited Seagate and Anglers before this. Now takin' the long way home.

Rashida Montarac: Seagate? You are an adventurer

Vee Barlett: Yar, the sea be in me blood.

Rashida Montarac: I have been out to Gate Post before, not as far at Angler

Vee Barlett: Ain't sure why the mountain goat still with us, though...

Vee Barlett: Gate Post?

Vee Barlett: looks at Lirt.

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Cartography [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 6]

BOB Island between Angler and the Capitol you sailed past it without crashing into it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ohhhh right

Lirtimya: Ah, we sailed past it earlier, between Angler and capitol

Vee Barlett: Ah! Yar, that one. Wish we coulda stopped but had cargo needin' quick delivery.

Vee Barlett: Matey did some fine sailin' at around it, though.

Rashida Montarac: So why are you all the way south here at Sweet Water?

Vee Barlett: Visitin' the home of me crewmate.

Vee Barlett: And I ain't seen this side of the island yet.

Rashida Montarac: Sweet Water will be glad to put you up

Vee Barlett: Yar, this look like a nice place to stop.

Rashida Montarac: Go down to the Pelican on the north end of the island

Rashida Montarac: He will put you up

Vee Barlett: Thank ye, Cap'n Montarac!

Vee Barlett: salutes to her and grins.

Rashida Montarac: Ask for Agapion

Rashida Montarac: Tell him to give you a better rate than Rashida

Vee Barlett: Just to check... how he feel about bards and singin' and such?

Rashida Montarac: I doubt he sings much, at least not if he is not drunk

Vee Barlett: laughs

Vee Barlett: Nah just makin' sure me crew won't get us kicked out.

Vee Barlett: looks at Rothuss.

Rothuss Carder: stares nobly off into the distance

Vee Barlett: Well we'll get them both drunk then.

BOB So sailing/rowing north along the shore of Sweet Water

BOB You come upon three buildings, and six docks

BOB it seems excessive

TMO (Rothuss Carder): that's like every house having a 2 car garage

Temperance: That's quite a few docks...

Vee Barlett: Gotta show off somethin' I guess or entice passin' ships to stop.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol tmo

Temperance: shrugs.

Vee Barlett: Rothuss, be useful and get us that place to stay.

Rothuss Carder: Can do!

Lirtimya: You think one of these three houses are a library or a map shop?

Rothuss Carder: jumps onto the dock from the prow

Vee Barlett: Yar find that out too Roth!

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Tumbling [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 5] [d20 = 9]

Vee Barlett: Matey needs things.

Temperance: A library would be nice.

Rothuss Carder: strides down the dock to the 'town' to find smoeone to pester

Agapion Morozov: STOP RIGHT THERE

wyjyoon (Temperance): guess you found him real quick

Agapion Morozov: Before we go any further

Rothuss Carder: Here? Or back there where I was when you started talking?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Agapion Morozov: I gotta know

Vee Barlett: waits on the ship and lets Rothuss and Tempe handle things.

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh am i there too?

wyjyoon (Temperance): wasn't paying attention

Carissa (Vee Barlett): now you are :)

Temperance: is suddenly off the ship.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Agapion Morozov: SO who is this lovely couple

Temperance: looks around.

Temperance: Where?

Rothuss Carder: Rothuss Carder, and my confessor Temperance.

Rothuss Carder: She keeps me sin-free

Agapion Morozov: A confessor with you at all times?

Agapion Morozov: Just how naughty are you?

Rothuss Carder: Right now? Perfectly angelic.

Agapion Morozov: All because of Temperance

Agapion Morozov: That does seem appropriate

Rothuss Carder: She's very good for me.

Temperance: Glad to be of help?

Rothuss Carder: Thank you, you know how much I appreciate the help.

Agapion Morozov: How long have you been married Temperance?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lmao

Temperance: tries to go along with whatever is happening.

Temperance: Two years

Temperance: We are travelling with some friends.

Agapion Morozov: That is not that many sins to absorb for him is it?

Agapion Morozov: How bad could he be?

Temperance: A friend of mine likes to stab him for fun when she gets annoyed.

Rothuss Carder: sighs manfully.

Rothuss Carder: The things we put up with for duty.

Agapion Morozov: You like having another woman stab him

Agapion Morozov: That is a very interesting marriage you have

Agapion Morozov: I want to hear more about this

Temperance: Not particularly. I have to heal him if things get bloody.

Rothuss Carder: And that itches abominably.

Temperance: rolls her eyes.

Temperance: Right, and that's worse than a stabbing for you, isn't it?

Rothuss Carder: I didn't say that.

Agapion Morozov: You two are fun

Rothuss Carder: Anyways! You there, you can tell us, which of these charming buildings are where we can get rooms to stay, and/or libraries to read in?

Agapion Morozov: Library? Like books?

Agapion Morozov: HUH

Rothuss Carder: Yes, I think so.

Rothuss Carder: I was asked to ask.

Agapion Morozov: I have heard of those but never seen one

Agapion Morozov: How many books do you need for a library?

Rothuss Carder: looks at Tempe

Rothuss Carder: One?

Temperance: Maybe a shelf full?

Agapion Morozov: OH then yes I have a library

Temperance: I have not thought of it before.

Agapion Morozov: I have a book

Agapion Morozov: I keep receipts there

Agapion Morozov: bar tabs

Temperance: It would be lovely to see your bar.

Rothuss Carder: I'm sure it's ... fascinating .. reading on a slow night.

Temperance: Would you happen to have room and board for a crew of a couple people?

Agapion Morozov: Slow nights are not good nights

Temperance: And yes, it is fascinating to read on any night!

Temperance: smiles brightly at the thought of reading.

Agapion Morozov: I have two rooms open tonight

Agapion Morozov: Unless Clarence comes in

Agapion Morozov: then one of them is his

Agapion Morozov: Most people sleep on their ships

Agapion Morozov: when they have one at big as that

Rothuss Carder: We were told to ask at the Pelican.

Rothuss Carder: Is that you?

Agapion Morozov: This is the Pelican

Temperance: By the name of... Captain Rashida?

Rothuss Carder: Oh, was that her name?

Temperance: Not the one that stabs you, but the other Captain.

Rothuss Carder: Pelican.. that's that bird with the jowly beak, right? Hangs down, holds lots of fish?

Agapion Morozov: Captain Rashida is a good lass

Agapion Morozov: She does not look too much like a pelican

Rothuss Carder: I didn't get a good look at her to tell, but she didn't sound jowly to me.

Agapion Morozov: Or full of fish

Temperance: She did sound pretty jolly, though.

'Shislif' connected

Agapion Morozov: So you want one or two rooms?

Rothuss Carder: Two if ... Clarence... I think it was, doesn't show himself?

Temperance: Yes, two rooms unless Clarence decides to visit.

Temperance: Who is Clarence?

Agapion Morozov: Captain of the Barnacle

Temperance: Ah, a Captain also!

Rothuss Carder: looks back at the Grim Lady

Rothuss Carder: I hope we're not parked in his spot.

Agapion Morozov: No one gets a spot

Shislif (MeLange): Hi everyone, took a while to load in

wyjyoon (Temperance): Hey Sharif :)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): several of us had that problem. welcome!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): hi sharif!

Shislif (MeLange): Ah thanks so not just me lol

BOB So quick catch up for Sharif

BOB Temp GO

TMO (Rothuss Carder): apparently Temperance and Rothuss are married now.... comes as quite a shock to us, as I'm sure you're aware

wyjyoon (Temperance): We sailed to the southern part of Bourinquen because we want to go to Glimber's home

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Shislif (MeLange): cool cool

wyjyoon (Temperance): We are trying to rooms to sleep for the night :)

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Hello Sharif!

Shislif (MeLange): Hey there Jtom :)

Shislif (MeLange): What's the name of the session summary for last week again?

Temperance: We ought to go tell Vee and the others that they have room for us.

Rothuss Carder: How much for the night, good fellow?

wyjyoon (Temperance): last I wrote in terms of summaries was Evil Tide. I think the arc ended recently...?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Might be wrong

Shislif (MeLange): ah thanks

Carissa (Vee Barlett): don't think you did one for last week

Shislif (MeLange): seems to be the most recent

BOB Correct

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yeah, spring break + the weeks after were a little crazy and I missed out

BOB there are missing summaries

Agapion Morozov: You can have one room for 4 silver or two rooms for 10 silver

Shislif (MeLange): Spring Break!!!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): yes didn't miss too much last week except Vee almost visiting a dolphin church

Shislif (MeLange): dolphin church sounds holy!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): If no one wants to do them, I think I can plug them through a summarizer, won't be the best quality though, I'm sure.

Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 11]

wyjyoon (Temperance): no worries, I can catch up on them!

Shislif (MeLange): could be fun,

Rothuss Carder: That doesn't seem to math out right

Temperance: There must be a reason why it's not exactly half.

Agapion Morozov: Becaue you are going to tell stories

Rothuss Carder: Tell you what, then. I'll take one room for 4 silver, and she'll take the other room for 4 silver.

Shislif (MeLange): remember tales from the crypt? You could have the AI do summaries in the voice of the crypt keeper lol

Temperance: I do have 4 silver.

Agapion Morozov: AH AH AH no cheating

Agapion Morozov: You already told me you were married

Rothuss Carder: SIR! I would never cheat on this fine lady.

Temperance: takes a moment to catch up.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): good luck!

Temperance: Oh! Yes, I would never suspect such things.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Rothuss is in full chaos goblin mode

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol dw she's going along just fine

Carissa (Vee Barlett): good it is entertaining....especially away from vee lol

Rothuss Carder: But we do have other ladies, and it would be improper for me to share a room with them. So I will take one room for 4, and the ladies can have the other one, also for 4.

Rothuss Carder: All told, I believe that would be .... 7 silver.

Shislif (MeLange): nice negotiating!

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Fast-Talking [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 14] [d20 = 2]

TMO (Rothuss Carder): should have done that invisible

Carissa (Vee Barlett): you and mel can be roomies!

BOB Ok

BOB So yes he buys that but

Carissa (Vee Barlett): vee will probably sleep on her ship... also because going to sleep soon

Shislif (MeLange): uh oh buts

Agapion Morozov: Very well both rooms but also a story

Agapion Morozov: Holds out his hand for the silver

TMO (Rothuss Carder): every time I tell stories, people get bored

Rothuss Carder: hands over 7 silver

Carissa (Vee Barlett): practice makes perfect!

Shislif (MeLange): Gotta liquor them up fist, like standup comedy

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'm sure there'll be plenty to go around

Agapion Morozov: LOOK LOOK LOOK

Agapion Morozov: We have guests tonight

Agapion Morozov: You are going to hear great stories tonight

Agapion Morozov: Guestures over to Rothuss and Temperance

Agapion Morozov: THIS lovely couple will tell us all about ......

Agapion Morozov: ducks and lets Rothuss take over

Rothuss Carder: Anything to drink or eat available? Have to keep the throat from gettnig dry

Temperance: hands over the water canteen.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): i will also duck out and read it later on chat

Carissa (Vee Barlett): night all!

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Goodnight!

wyjyoon (Temperance): good night Carissa!

BOB Night

'Carissa' disconnected

Shislif (MeLange): Night Carissa!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): See? She's so bored she leaves *before* I start story telling!

Shislif (MeLange): Lol

Temperance: How much for a drink?

BOB 5 copper

Temperance: asks the barkeep?

BOB per drink

Temperance: hands over 5 copper.

Temperance: gestures to Rothuss to get what he'd like.

Rothuss Carder: Right. Show of hands. How many of you have heard of, or seen, a giant?

BOB Three hands go up

BOB there are 7 people in the audience

Rothuss Carder: 'Kay. Mel, get up here. Show these fine folk what you've got.

MeLange: scuttles up to Rothuss

MeLange: Takes his shirt off

MeLange flexing

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol what is happening rn

Rothuss Carder: This lad here, beat a giant in single combat! First blood!

MeLange changes pose

MeLange feigns an attack

Temperance: I believe we were in the mountains at some sort at the time.

Rothuss Carder: It was what, 15, 20 foot tall?

wyjyoon (Temperance): *of some sort

MeLange: Never been much for measuring

Temperance: It appeared taller, like it could touch the clouds.

MeLange: Body odor wasn't easy to get over either

Rothuss Carder: So it did, so it did. A mighty lady, she was. And fierce. Like to pull your arms off as look at you.

Temperance: She definitely could have had all of us for breakfast and then some.

MeLange: And use it as a toothipick no less

Rothuss Carder: If the fella with her was any indication, the lady giants are bigger and meaner than the men.

Shislif (MeLange): ohh brb

User has gone AFK. (Shislif)

Temperance: It seemed like she was the matriarch of her tribe, though I couldn't be too sure of the ins and outs of giant tribal structure.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: How big are the men?

Temperance: Maybe about 10 to 15 feet? Just a tad bit smaller than the women.

Rothuss Carder: Still not someone you'd want to take on at wrestling, for sure.

Agapion Morozov: Don't tell Rashida

Temperance: raises her brows.

Temperance: Duly noted.

Rothuss Carder: Anyways, they stormed into our camp one night, saying we'd taken their prize fishing spot. Bet you didn't know giants fished, eh?

Temperance: Oh, it was right next to the lake of their camp! I remember a bit more now.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: Do they fish for giant fish?

Shislif (MeLange): sorry back

wyjyoon (Temperance): welcome back!

Shislif (MeLange): lol thx :)

Rothuss Carder: They certainly can! This group was actually there for pearls! There was a couple sunken ships in the lake with urchins growing in them. They'd come out every year or two, lift the ships out of the water, and harvest the urchins.

MeLange pretends to step on an urchin and grabs at his pained foot

Temperance: We certainly had to be careful with those urchins, they were quite a handful.

MeLange pretends to crack open a sea urching and eat it, then rubs his belly

Rothuss Carder: Anyways, since we'd gotten the campsite first, the obvious solution to got to keep the site was a duel, one of us versus one of them. To first blood, of course, no need for anyone to die for a camping spot.

MeLange mimes a sword duel

Temperance: And though Melange is quite a duelist with his own weapon, I was a little apprehensive as to whether we would succeed.

Temperance: Quite nervewracking, to witness someone you know facing a treetop of a creature.

Rothuss Carder: She was three times his size, almost blotted out the sun.

MeLange shrugs his shoulders

MeLange: You know what they say, the bigger they are, the more likely they are to crush ya

Rothuss Carder: And she did, too. Grabbed him first thing, like a small child, and flung him out like a stone into the lake.

Rothuss Carder: But did he let that stop him?!

Temperance: Not the Melange I know, he wouldn't.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: He is standign there right?

Ruslan Olkhovsky: So he did not get crushed OBVIOUSLY

MeLange shakes his head

Rothuss Carder: That's right! No blood!

Agapion Morozov: Hush Ruslan and let them tell the story

Agapion Morozov: Maybe he got better

Agapion Morozov: Temperance can heal Rothuss from being stabbed all the time she said

Rothuss Carder: I love audience participation! It shows you're listening.

Rothuss Carder: So please, ask any questions you have.

Temperance: He didn't need healing from falling in the lake! At least.. not yet.

Agapion Morozov: OOOOO a Clifhanger

Rothuss Carder: But you should have seen the look in that giant's eyes when he swims back in and goes right back into the ring with her.

MeLange raises an eyebrow in anticipation

Temperance: She was indeed rather perplexed. I could hear her booming voice all the way from where I was watching.

Temperance: GIVE UP ALREADY, MEASLY HUMAN!

Rothuss Carder: laughs.

Temperance: tries to mimic a giant lady's voice.

MeLange: Never!!!

Rothuss Carder: But not our MeLange!

MeLange: (LINK)

Rothuss Carder: He gets right back in there! He dives raght back in, between her feet, where she can't reach him, at least not without hurting herself.

MeLange boxes in place

Temperance: It was certainly a battle strategy, using his comparatively smaller stature to his advantage.

Shislif (MeLange): really works if ya playing the song now lol

Ruslan Olkhovsky: Covers up his privates imagining

TMO (Rothuss Carder): good point, forgot about the music he'd be playing

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Musical Instrument (Drum) [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 2] [d20 = 15]

TMO (Rothuss Carder): (dang, doesn't help the story)

Shislif (MeLange): oh well!

wyjyoon (Temperance): too immersed in narrating to focus on playing

Rothuss Carder: The giantess can't use her sword, so she tries to stomp on him with her great feet!

Rothuss Carder stomps his foot loudly at Melange

MeLange mimes dodging right, then dodging left and back

Temperance: clears her throat to try and mimic the voice of the giantess.

MeLange mimes dodging right, then dodging left and back

Temperance: YOU THINK YOU CAN OUTSMART ME, HUMAN??

wyjyoon (Temperance): tempe is really trying a lot of things out of character tonight

MeLange: I may not outsmart ya Giant!

MeLange: I said

Rothuss Carder: He dodges once! Twice! Three times! And then...

MeLange: But I'll kick your big butt!

Rothuss Carder: stomp!

MeLange dodge dodge dodge

Rothuss Carder: But don't forget.. he's armed too. Show 'em, big guy.

MeLange: I could feel her knuckles hairs run across my back it was that close!

MeLange Unleashes the gun show

MeLange flexes his biceps as he exhales audibly

Temperance: She was certainly nimble, and her frustration must have mad her more quick. But ah, Melange was faster! And armed with his trusty axe to help!

MeLange Then pulls out the axe

MeLange holds it up to the sky

Rothuss Carder: When she was off-balance, a single swing into the inside of her knee was all it took to end the match in our favor

Rothuss Carder: First Blood, to MeLange.

MeLange: swings left with the axe

Ruslan Olkhovsky: WOW

MeLange: just like that yall

Temperance: The giantess had no choice but to admit defeat.

MeLange: "yield" I may have said

TMO (Rothuss Carder): *some names have been changed to protect the innocent

Temperance: And thus, the giantess agreed to help us harvest the goods within their fishing grounds.

wyjyoon (Temperance): *her fishing grounds

MeLange: oh she yielded... big time

Ruslan Olkhovsky: That was pretty good, Agapion you should have these guys back for more

Ruslan Olkhovsky: her too

MeLange clears throat

Ruslan Olkhovsky: Not sure how many female giant stories you have though

Rothuss Carder: Well, there's always the time we stole the Throne of the Sea out from under the Shark King's nose, but we'll save that one for later.

MeLange: If we only had female giant stories that would be a bunch of boring stories. We got all kinds of monsters

Temperance: exhales a miniscule sigh of relief.

MeLange: each one weirder than the last

Temperance: Yes. Unimaginably so.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: No ghost stories

Rothuss Carder: This lady here punched a shark.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: Those make me have badk dreams

MeLange: Good thing you told, cause we do have ghost stories

Temperance: Not a fan of spirits, I see. To each their own.

MeLange: But we're not here to give peope bad dreams... well maybe Roth is

Rothuss Carder: Particularly the terrifying Ghost Monkey of the Whelan Forest.

Temperance: Yes, we aren't here to give people bad dreams.

Temperance: Though ghost stories are quite thrilling.

Rothuss Carder: So, tell us the stories you have here. Monsters, pirates, treasure, terrible storms?

Temperance: Perhaps this is a good time for a drink, also.

Ruslan Olkhovsky: HEAR HEAR

Ruslan Olkhovsky: DRINKS!

Rothuss Carder: Oh, yes please.

Agapion Morozov: Pours out a round of drinks

Rothuss Carder: sips at his drink.

MeLange: I could go for a drink sure

BOB Who wants to see if you get to keep both rooms?

BOB Roll your d20

BOB See if he comes back tonight

TMO (Rothuss Carder): go for it

wyjyoon (Temperance): good job narrating :)

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): A good retelling of the story!

Shislif (MeLange): I thought it turned out pretty good!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I am capable of remembering a few things every once in a while

BOB You can see on the map how far you have to go to get to Yellow Fern, sailing up through the Blue Bay (I think that is what the name is) you can make 36 miles a day, and it is just 29 miles north

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Yay me! *pats self on back*
