Carissa: oooh I had a crepe at my connection earlier this week and I forgot how good they were

BOB Someone on IG told me "you are the worst creep I have ever met" then had to explain she meant I was not actually one, laughs

Lisa: lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Lisa: glad you made it home safely Carissa

Carissa: thanks! barely made my connection; they literally were boarding when we finally landed - last on the plane, shut the door behind me, but made it!

wyjyoon (Temperance): sounds like perfect timing :)

Carissa: Minneapolis is doing construction so they are down to one runway....but there is NO warning about that when booking nor that it will definitely cause delays

wyjyoon (Temperance): oof not the construction :(

Lisa: yikes

wyjyoon (Temperance): I live in Austin and things are under construction every day but ... rarely ever complete

BOB We had something similar in France, we were in line still at the ticket counter getting boarding passes when they started boarding. We were like we need to hurry.... the person at the counter said, They will wait for you

BOB We looked around and everyone was like Eh, they will wait

Carissa: ....austin has been under c onstruction since I was 10. Not even joking.

wyjyoon (Temperance): I believe you

Carissa: lol thankfully it was me and another guy and I think they did wait an extra five minutes for us

BOB If you are checked in through an airline they have to wait X ammount of time for you

BOB It just pisses people off

wyjyoon (Temperance): My dad had similar troubles when he went on business to France with his coworkers

Carissa: did not know that but super glad for it

wyjyoon (Temperance): it's definitely good to know :)

BOB Sad just poured the last glass of wine from the bottle, worried, it was a full bottle at 4 PM when I got home.......

BOB It is nice

BOB BUT

BOB Not recommended

BOB to drink that much in that ammount of time

Carissa: I can't even handle a little cider anymore

Lisa: what whale?

BOB I am perfectly fine

BOB See Lisa gets it

wyjyoon (Temperance): My family grew up on drinking culture, so I can handle some soju, but...

wyjyoon (Temperance): It's nice sometimes :)

BOB I have a good longer bit for this story arc starting next week

BOB We will get you there tonight

wyjyoon (Temperance): Then I hope his family thing all works well :)

'TMO' connected

BOB Someone else who read the Summaries is interested and they are in the Pacific zone so would fit in

BOB and there we go now we have a TMO

TMO (Rothuss Carder): hey folks. Mini and I may be in and out a bit, but we'll be here. A kid is coming over to move a bunch of our storage stuff for us, and will probably need oversight and guidance along the way.

TMO (Rothuss Carder): But we *are* here. :)

TMO (Rothuss Carder): he was supposed to be here a few hours ago, but other stuff came up first

Carissa: 'ello tmos

BOB And for Wendy and Lisa did you like the quips for the sections of the story arc?

Lisa: Hi TMO :)

Lisa: quips?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Howdy TMO :)

wyjyoon (Temperance): what quips?

BOB When you go to the Story Arc page for Sightseeing, the arrangement of the chat logs

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Carissa, Lisa, Wendy - HI!

Carissa: "that's no island"

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol I saw it just now

wyjyoon (Temperance): "gnome place like home" rhymes and I like that

Carissa: sad there weren't ewoks on it

BOB I was tempted

BOB BUT the halflings are in another island chain

Lisa: ahhh nice

Carissa: there are things like hairy humans

BOB As TMO said last week how many fantasy things can we stumble into ? (paraphrasing)

wyjyoon (Temperance): googling halfing

Lisa: frodo

BOB Hobbit

wyjyoon (Temperance): ohhh

wyjyoon (Temperance): like Lord of the Rings!

Lisa: yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): ... which I haven't read yet

BOB jaw drops

Lisa: just watch the movie

BOB wink

TMO (Rothuss Carder): they were originally called hobbits, but the Tolkien Estate yelled at them

Lisa: books are a slog - imo

BOB There is an island chain down south with Hafling Paladins riding Giant Pelicans

wyjyoon (Temperance): I've watched some clips of the LoTR movies on youtube, but that's about it

Lisa: sweet

wyjyoon (Temperance): can't wait to meet them!

wyjyoon (Temperance): sounds interesting

BOB It is all based on a weird old Polish folktale

Carissa: currently reading a book about riding giant turtles

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Carissa: (psst, don't tell the others wendy, but same - I couldn't get into it and just never got around to trying again)

BOB Which is actually the entire goal of this story arc, to show that there is a LOT more to the Island Kingdoms and your own island of Borinquen than you have grown up knowing about

TMO (Rothuss Carder): I didn't read the books until after college. I'd already read and seen so many things based on Tolkien that they were very stereotypical for me. Not Tolkien's fault - he created the stereotypes.

BOB So heading NE

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it's just the order I encountered them

BOB So for those who made at least some checks

Vee Barlett: At least we gots hearts.

BOB Instead of going out and around the islands there, you could try to slip through that channel and take shelter from the storm

BOB But you will be hemmed in by cliffs

Carissa (Vee Barlett): ....with these rolls? we'll have to really rely on matey here :P

BOB It is your choice

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): how bad would it be to crash into an island?

'Shislif' connected

BOB Sharif is here to save the day

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): better than sailing through a storm, right?

Rothuss Carder: We could ... "heave to" I think the phrase is, until the storm passes.

Glimber Silvernose: calls back, "I don't have to heave!"

Carissa (Vee Barlett): can we anchor just inside the slip? then ...slip back out when the storm passes?

BOB Of course

Carissa (Vee Barlett): like there?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): get protection, wait it out and decide from there

Carissa (Vee Barlett): we aren't in a rush

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): very conservative approach

Rothuss Carder: I wonder if they've ever tried digging shelters?

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 9]

Vee Barlett: Maybe tie themselves to the shell?

Inv Zora Polasis: I'm sure they have had to deal with storms before

Temperance: ...does the Zaratan sleep through hurricanes?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): didn't see anything on the islands?

Temperance: They rely on the creature to lay dormant, no?

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): emergency storm centers?

BOB The islands nearby Zora are blocking the horizon

BOB LOL with Lisa

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): she's looking at the islands - not the horizon

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): she doesn't understand weather - she wants to see a tavern on the beach

Vee Barlett: Dunno. I wonder if their passiveness will make them complacent.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

BOB Ahh so the islands to the west (the main island) are rising up to more hills, towards mountains and they look "normal" to her but the one to the east (the largish island there next to the Lady) looks to be more 'barren' windswept with trees, palms, and some things on this side of the crest of the island

BOB and Yes there is a small village there

Inv Zora Polasis: I can't see the storm anymore. Islands blocking

MeLange: rude islands

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Weather Sense [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 18]

BOB Should we just take it that everyone will be smelting dice ever 30 minutes tonight?

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Inv Zora Polasis: With a large storm, maybe it would be best for us all to stick together

Glimber Silvernose: We played truth or dare last time

wyjyoon (Temperance): we did?

Vee Barlett: True. We playin' that again? No one for Zora to snog this time, though.

Temperance: is intrigued.

Vee Barlett: I remember wantin' to stab someone... a LOT. Like more than normal.

Temperance: That sounds... very memorable.

Temperance: isn't sure why she doesn't remember this.

Vee Barlett: Memory of it makes me stabby....

Vee Barlett: isn't sure why, either.

Inv Zora Polasis: Everything makes you stabby

Temperance: laughs lightly.

Vee Barlett: opens her mouth to argue but can't

Rothuss Carder: True, it doesn't take much.

Vee Barlett: It a healthy copin' mechanism, I was told.

Rothuss Carder: By who? A vampire?

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [SUCCESS by 0] [d20 = 12]

Rothuss Carder: Oar-to-oar salesmen are tenacious beasts....

Vee Barlett: Lady Grim. Who you?

Glimber Silvernose: Hello!

Glimber Silvernose: waves

MeLange: Hi!

Sheera Nightstar: (A head pops up over the railing, a female slightly pointed ears)

MeLange also waves

Sheera Nightstar: (I am here about your extended warrenty)

Vee Barlett: Oh! You a sea elf??

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol with these rolls we might need it

Sheera Nightstar: I am an Elf, yes

MeLange: cool

'wyjyoon' connected

Sheera Nightstar: No thank you

Vee Barlett: We be lookin' for yer kind!

Rothuss Carder: moves over to the railing to help her aboard if she chooses to.

Glimber Silvernose: Ohhh

Glimber Silvernose: Are you a mermaid?

Vee Barlett: Er, no offense meant. Just... we met a sea elf and she died... but are you an elf or a sea elf?

Sheera Nightstar: No I do not have a cute tail... well my .... just no

Rothuss Carder: laughs.

Vee Barlett: Shame. I do wanna meet another mermaid...

Sheera Nightstar: Why? they are very self centered

Rothuss Carder: You can't snog every merman you see, Vee.

Vee Barlett: I can't if I don't try.

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Glimber Silvernose: There's a storm coming. You shouldn't be out here long

Vee Barlett: They like my childhood stories. Just... wanna meet 'em.

wyjyoon (Temperance): gasp

wyjyoon (Temperance): did Vee meet another mermaid

Carissa (Vee Barlett): she did in the lake

wyjyoon (Temperance): no I mean

Carissa (Vee Barlett): as for her childhood....dunno, lol maybe

wyjyoon (Temperance): is she meeting another mermaid rn

Shislif (MeLange): that'd be cool

Carissa (Vee Barlett): this one claims to be an elf

Sheera Nightstar: There is a storm coming, we do not worry about it

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh

Shislif (MeLange): claims

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): no this elf is sans fish tail

Vee Barlett: Are you just checkin' on us then?

Sheera Nightstar: The storms do not come underwater .... that much

Sheera Nightstar: You are stopping right above one of our fishing areas, if you .... are not .... nice it will cause problems

Rothuss Carder: Would you want to come aboard if you could breathe properly? I can help you with that, if you want. No pressure though, just letting you know it's an option.

Glimber Silvernose: Ohhh do you live in a sea cave?

Sheera Nightstar: You can breathe water?

Glimber Silvernose: I'm nice!

Vee Barlett: I wish.

Vee Barlett: Not fer long.

Vee Barlett: But we just shelterin' from the storm. We'll be outta yer hair once this storm passes.

Rothuss Carder: No such luck, I'm afraid. But I think I can help you breathe air, if you want.

Sheera Nightstar: We do have sea caves, if you want to visit

Vee Barlett: We just left one. I'm highly allergic.

Sheera Nightstar: I was worried you were lost

Vee Barlett: Can't be lost if'n ya don't have a destination.

Vee Barlett: I mean, we do but ya know, we got time to sail and see the world. Or island.

MeLange: Sea Cave shelter us from the hurricane?

Rothuss Carder: We were mostly just trying to go around that giant turtle out there when the storm came up.

Sheera Nightstar: The Storms rarely wreck the deep

Rothuss Carder: We're not going to sink the ship to shelter in an undersea cave, Mel....

MeLange: why'd we have to sink the ship?

Sheera Nightstar: Ahh that Zartan has been there for several months, we are waiting for it to clear out

MeLange: just leave it

Vee Barlett: How deep the cave?

Vee Barlett: Er, to the cave?

Sheera Nightstar: It leaves droppings that are a mess to deal with

MeLange chuckles

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): don't even want to think about 7 mile long turtle droppings

wyjyoon (Temperance): .....

wyjyoon (Temperance): that made me think about it

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): sorry

wyjyoon (Temperance): is all good I have finished eating so no appetite to be ruined

Inv Zora Polasis: You think that village there will be okay in the storm?

Vee Barlett: Yar so... uh, how many of you are there?

Sheera Nightstar: In our village? or the Zartan village?

Inv Zora Polasis: That village on the island over there. You live on the island?

Sheera Nightstar: OH NO

Sheera Nightstar: Up there? on the mountain?

Sheera Nightstar: (not a mountain, just a hill with a smallish cliff)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): the one I saw in the spyglass

Inv Zora Polasis: Not really a mountain but up there yes

Vee Barlett: She a sea elf so she lives in the sea, yeah?

Sheera Nightstar: We stay away from them, they hunt us if they see us

Temperance: scribbles "sea elf but not a mermaid" in her notes.

Inv Zora Polasis: I guess. But if they live close to each other they could know them

MeLange: I hope she doesn't sell sea shells...

Vee Barlett: They hunt you?? Why?

Inv Zora Polasis: She met us pretty quick

Sheera Nightstar: They want our magic

MeLange: well we're ontop a fishing spot, so she says at least

Temperance: continues scribbling.

Inv Zora Polasis: That's not good

Sheera Nightstar: I agree

MeLange: me too

MeLange nods

Glimber Silvernose: Stealing stuff is bad

Glimber Silvernose: Hunting people is bad

Sheera Nightstar: I am glad you agree

Rothuss Carder: It's been an interesting voyage. Birdman, giant turtle, sea elf.

Glimber Silvernose: We won't do anything bad

Temperance: nods in agreement.

Sheera Nightstar: That is good

Sheera Nightstar: Then I can go back home and tell them that it is ok

Rothuss Carder: sits down on the edge and dangles his feet over the edge so he can chat comfortably.

Sheera Nightstar: What is your name?

Vee Barlett: One last question.

Vee Barlett: Know anythin' 'bout a Stone That Abides? Or Throne of Teeth?

Temperance: continues scribbling notes.

Sheera Nightstar: That sounds like a bad thing

Vee Barlett: Y'all got any more questions fer the nice lady?

Sheera Nightstar: Who is the nice lady?

Vee Barlett: You.

Vee Barlett: grins

Temperance: stops scribbling momentarily to think.

Rothuss Carder: Not really, no need to keep her up in the air if she's not comfortable in it.

Temperance: Glad she stopped by, though.

Rothuss Carder: Absolutely.

Lirtimya: I don't think I have any questions

Temperance: I hope she avoids those people that want to hunt her and her friends. The magic must be in high demand.

Temperance: goes back to scribbling.

Vee Barlett: Yar if they do, and ya see our ship, feel free to seek our help.

Glimber Silvernose: Thought maybe she was giving us a pet

Temperance: cracks a smile.

Temperance: It would be an interesting pet.

Rothuss Carder: We've handled these before.

Temperance: attempts to draw the Sea Urchin and the Sea Elf on her parchment.

Temperance: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]

Vee Barlett: Glands good for resale again? Got a good price last time.

Rothuss Carder: Sorry, didn't put on that much of a show.

Glimber Silvernose: It's okay

Glimber Silvernose: grins

Temperance: It was nice of her to give us an urchin. She didn't have to.

Temperance: Shame I couldn't draw a nice picture of her...

Temperance: puts away her parchment and stretches.

Vee Barlett: So...about that venom?

Rothuss Carder: points out the glands with the point of his knife.

Rothuss Carder: Maybe she'll come back, Tempe. Pose for you for real.

Temperance: laughs lightly.

Temperance: If she would do me the honor, that would be nice. But I don't have the artistic hand for that.... yet.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): (is it on its own away from the meat?)

MeLange: helps Vee

Rothuss Carder: Is the ship going to complain if I batten things?

Temperance: muffles a laugh.

Glimber Silvernose: tries to help out and stomps on the hatch

Vee Barlett: Save it and get helpin'

Temperance: gets up to help.

Werner Hertzberg, Ghost Pirate of the Grim Lady: WHY ARE YOU STOMPING

Glimber Silvernose: I'm not stomping I'm battening!

Vee Barlett: GET READY TO BE A SHIP IN A HURRICANE WERNER!

Temperance: abruptly remembers the pirate's lore.

Vee Barlett: He just whiny. So what game we playin'?

BOB Thank you Temp

Temperance: He is quite loud, true... but sometimes things get too much and you have to whine.

Vee Barlett: Guess it would be weird hauntin' a ship... but he the one who brought in people who ain't need it so that on him.

Temperance: shrugs.

Temperance: I guess so...

Temperance: scrunches her brows.

BOB Just to be clear YOU are the ones who ran over the wreck of the ship he was haunting and dragged him along to haunt your own ship

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): we did that?

Shislif (MeLange): typical us

BOB You rolled that encounter

Carissa (Vee Barlett): so he haunted one ship and now is haunting us

BOB was a very bad roll

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Carissa (Vee Barlett): that's still on him for haunting things!

BOB Or a good one depending

Temperance: It's weird, feeling sympathy for a Past-Tensed Pirate Captain who yells like an old man.

Vee Barlett: I like yellin'

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): can we drop him off somewhere?

TMO (Rothuss Carder): It's fine.... we don't mind.

Temperance: The aforementioned game earlier is one I don't remember.

Temperance: But I heard it was fun. What was the name?

Rothuss Carder: Truth or Dare

Vee Barlett: Truth or Dare. Someone challenges you and you gotta choose truth or dare.

Temperance: raises her brows.

Vee Barlett: So if I ask ya, truth or dare, ya gotta chose and ya beholden to that choice.

Temperance: I see. And if you don't, I suppose there are consequences?

Vee Barlett: Yeah. I probably stab ya or somethin'

Rothuss Carder: So, just like any other day

Temperance: Oh no, not the stabbing.

Temperance: smiles with mirth.

Vee Barlett: Not if I use my tiny stabbers and fill 'em with ink.

Carissa (Vee Barlett): before everyone could hear him but he only answered vee

TMO (Rothuss Carder): we all heard him, but he *apparently* couldn't hear any of us

TMO (Rothuss Carder): oh, okay, for this time, gotcha!

TMO (Rothuss Carder): bloop away!

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol it's fine, all the fun of the game

BOB You do not know no one looked

Rothuss Carder: We have to go back! Is the turtle still there?

BOB Needed the spyglass to check

Inv Zora Polasis: I was rowing and no one asked about it

Carissa (Vee Barlett): the river mouth looks interesting even if longer

Temperance: I'm sorry, I didn't think to ask. It slipped my mind with all the storm.

wyjyoon (Temperance): so rewind?

wyjyoon (Temperance): or continuing?

BOB Continue

wyjyoon (Temperance): mmk

wyjyoon (Temperance): both are fine to me

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): zora likes straight lines

Shislif (MeLange): back

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): glimber likes curvy ones

Lirtimya: What do you think Cap'n, these are our options

wyjyoon (Temperance): I casually forget that Glimber and Zora are both played by Lisa

wyjyoon (Temperance): and now I just imagine Lisa speaking to herself

Carissa (Vee Barlett): i can type again...that the beach looks more interesting

Vee Barlett: Beach be interestin' to me. We ain't in a rush.

Vee Barlett: River exits there which usually holds some interestin' bit of city or wildlife or both.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): Lisa speaks to herself often

wyjyoon (Temperance): It's ok, so does Wendy :)

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): in the 3rd person even :D

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Lirtimya: Well, I don't mind if we stop at the beach, you're the captain

Rothuss Carder: beachward!

Inv Zora Polasis: uses spyglass to look at the inlet

Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 4]

MeLange: See anything interesting Zora?

MeLange: I don't care for a crowded beach, just saying

BOB No sunbathers

Shislif (MeLange): lol

Inv Zora Polasis: I don't see anyone on the beach

BOB but yes to a small hamlet, it looks like one pier, no ships at it

TMO (Rothuss Carder): Everybody got their swimsuits?

Inv Zora Polasis: There is a little village

Carissa (Vee Barlett): i think mel goes in the nude

Shislif (MeLange): swimsuits options!

Shislif (MeLange): ah she beat me to it :)

Inv Zora Polasis: No ships but one pier for docking

BOB The slopes seem steep

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol

Vee Barlett: If y'all wanna visit, speak up. We gotta find a place fer the night or keep sailin'

Inv Zora Polasis: We might have to climb some steep slopes

MeLange: What abouot the pier?

Rothuss Carder: Or the outside of the sandbank

Inv Zora Polasis: I wouldn't mind visiting but don't mind if you want to keep sailing. The village seems rather small

BOB Looks to be a pile of loose rocks, someplace to tie up, not a full maintained dock

Vee Barlett: Yar, might be haunted...

Vee Barlett: Let's check it out.,

Inv Zora Polasis: Not a dock like the city. Just a place to anchor and tie up the ship

Vee Barlett: I ain't afraid of no ghost.

Vee Barlett: stomps deck.

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Temperance: shakes her head and smiles.

MeLange: oh ok

Temperance: Let's go see it then.

Werner Hertzberg, Ghost Pirate of the Grim Lady: I should learn to untie knots

Rothuss Carder: Captain! Take us in!

Rothuss Carder: points landward

Temperance: I don't think I'm too afraid of ghosts either.

MeLange: I think it probably depends on the ghost

BOB So you come in at the pier

Vee Barlett: Can ya do anythin' Werner besides talk?

BOB you get close to shore and tie off

Carissa (Vee Barlett): need to step away for a second

User has gone AFK. (Carissa)

BOB You can see there are three or four small buildings near the shore line and there are light up farther on the hill,

MeLange: should we make our way towards the light?

Inv Zora Polasis: grabs her pack

Rothuss Carder: I'm game.

Rothuss Carder: hops onto the pier

Temperance: nods and gets ready to follow.

MeLange: Ok lets do it

Krart Woodleg: Heeeeeelooooooo

Inv Zora Polasis: Okay!

MeLange: takes the lead and heads towards the light

Temperance: Hello?

Temperance: blinks and looks around.

Krart Woodleg: Hooooooow aaaareeee youuuuuu doooooooiiing

Lisa (Glimber Silvernose): another guy with one leg?

MeLange: Hello?!

Temperance: Just fine and dandy, I suppose. How are you?

BOB A short squat man is standing near the end of the pier

Glimber Silvernose: Fiiiiiiiiiiinnnneeeee!!!!!

Krart Woodleg: Gooooooooood

Krart Woodleg: Gooooood

MeLange: we saw the lights

Krart Woodleg: Chuuuuuuurch

MeLange: figured we head towards them find a place for the night if possible

MeLange: oh good another church

Rothuss Carder: Perfect. Care to check it out, Tempe? Visit some of your brethren or .... sisteren?

Temperance: I suppose it wouldn't hurt to visit and learn.

Rothuss Carder: I almost said sistern, but I know that's wrong.

Krart Woodleg: Yuuuuuuu staaaaaaayyyyyyiiiing

Temperance: chuckles lightly.

Rothuss Carder: A sistern is a well

Temperance: No sir, just visiting.

MeLange: just browsing

Temperance: What are you doing at the pier?

Krart Woodleg: Wooooorkiiiiing

Temperance: raises her brows.

Temperance: What do you do for work?

Krart Woodleg: Tyyyyyyying Booooooasts

Temperance: I see. That is important work.

Krart Woodleg: Nods

wyjyoon (Temperance): did he tie our ship or did we do that?

Krart Woodleg: (he did)

wyjyoon (Temperance): wondering if we can offer him a coin

wyjyoon (Temperance): ok

Glimber Silvernose: whispers to Zora "I think he's a ghost and he doesn't know it"

MeLange: Oh thanks for tying our boat

Inv Zora Polasis: nods

Temperance: offers him a silver coin for his services.

Inv Zora Polasis: hopes he doesn't teach our ghost to untie ships

Temperance: I appreciate your help with our ship.

Krart Woodleg: (takes it happily) Thaaaaaank Youuuuuuu

Lirtimya: Looks for the church on the map

Temperance: You're not wrong, Melange. You're not wrong.

Vee Barlett: Church to who?

Rothuss Carder: That's the boring way. Hidden away inside an empty cask of holy wine is a much better way.

Glimber Silvernose: Ghosts!

Vee Barlett: laughs

Inv Zora Polasis: Shhhhh

Temperance: No ghosts, but evidently the lights are from the Church.

BOB The work is good, he seems like a simple man here to make sure the pier is taken care of

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): just like he did when he was still alive

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]

Diorsex Trinketmake: Greetings strangers

Lirtimya: I can't find it on the map, can't tell you who it's to

Vee Barlett: Yar but waitin' to hear who we interruptin'....or not.

Rothuss Carder: Hey, not a ghost!

Diorsex Trinketmake: I see you have met Krart

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Glimber Silvernose: Is he a ghost?

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol again

Diorsex Trinketmake: Chuckles, not that I know of

Diorsex Trinketmake: he does eat

Inv Zora Polasis: That's good then

Diorsex Trinketmake: Do ghosts eat?

Glimber Silvernose: scratches his head

Vee Barlett: Not often.

Glimber Silvernose: Hmmmm

Temperance: He also took a silver coin and it didn't pass through him, so I assume not?

Temperance: shrugs.

Rothuss Carder: Oh, good point. I missed that

Diorsex Trinketmake: You came in for repairs after the storm?

Vee Barlett: Nah just visitin'

Vee Barlett: Ship made proper and Captain good at her job.

Vee Barlett: grins

Diorsex Trinketmake: That is good

Diorsex Trinketmake: You can come up top for a meal if you need

MeLange: ohhh

Vee Barlett: Who y'all worship here?

Diorsex Trinketmake: Me? I prefer dolphins

Diorsex Trinketmake: They rarely talk back

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Vee Barlett: nods

wyjyoon (Temperance): just like Vee

Rothuss Carder: Unlike Captains

Vee Barlett: That a good choice. Deltan then?

Diorsex Trinketmake: But they don't do much of curing people either

Diorsex Trinketmake: Oh you are one of those, who needs an actual god? he says with a wink

Vee Barlett: laughs

Diorsex Trinketmake: I like the Dolphins themselves

Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 12]

Vee Barlett: Only fer certain reasons, but prefer to worship the sea.

BOB Yes to Zora, very nice, he is not dressed in vestments but yes he looks like a priest, a member of the church

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): and he worships sea mammals ...

Carissa (Vee Barlett): read today about how dolphins might use coral as medicine...maybe he just didn'ty ask nicely for healing from them

wyjyoon (Temperance): maybe he doesn't speak aquatic :)

Inv Zora Polasis: looks priest up and down

Carissa (Vee Barlett): lol also true

wyjyoon (Temperance): maybe he doesn't speak aquatic :)

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 11]

Rothuss Carder: does introductions

Diorsex Trinketmake: Most stay at Crashboat

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Etiquette [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 19]

MeLange: crashboat?

Rothuss Carder: Sorry, forgot yourr name there, Molinga

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Diorsex Trinketmake: There is a large inlet just to the west, several small bays, rivers, all intertwine with a set of sand bars

Diorsex Trinketmake: There are often ships that beach on the drifting sands

Carissa (Vee Barlett): switching computers, be back in a few

'Carissa' disconnected

wyjyoon (Temperance): so crashboat is the inlet, right? not an inn or tavern?

Inv Zora Polasis: We'll probably be visiting there tomorrow. I am Zora

wyjyoon (Temperance): sorry why is brain slowing down

Diorsex Trinketmake: Good to meet you Investigator Zora

TMO (Rothuss Carder): it is getting late-ish

Inv Zora Polasis: You have heard of me?

MeLange: I'm Mel

Diorsex Trinketmake: Not at all

Inv Zora Polasis: But I didn't give you my title

Diorsex Trinketmake: But your icon tells me you are a member of the church, and not a priestess

Diorsex Trinketmake: Like your friend here

Temperance: nods politely in greeting.

Inv Zora Polasis: And it's senior investigator actually

Inv Zora Polasis: smiles

Diorsex Trinketmake: Oh, I am sorry for that Senior Investigator

Temperance: It's nice to meet you. I'm Temperance.

Diorsex Trinketmake: I wonder if my wife can make you a new icon

Inv Zora Polasis: brightens

Diorsex Trinketmake: Good evening Temperance,..... I am sorry if I do not know your titles

Inv Zora Polasis: That would be lovely

Temperance: It is alright. I do not bother with titles. My name is already a mouthful.

Diorsex Trinketmake: (LINK)

Rothuss Carder: You folks do seem to gather a lot of nicknames

Diorsex Trinketmake: I am Diorsex Trinkemake of the 3rd circle, defender of crabs, bane to monkies, and juggler of coconuts

Glimber Silvernose: claps

Glimber Silvernose: You should teach Temperance how to juggle

Temperance: laughs.

Bows his head

Temperance: I failed spectacularly at juggling fish.

Diorsex Trinketmake: Coconuts are much easier

MeLange: Don't think anybody gets juggling fish the first time Temp

Lisa (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Temperance: laughs again.

Temperance: It was a fun attempt.

Rothuss Carder: Fun to watch too

Diorsex Trinketmake: Shall we go up hill?

MeLange: Ha yes!

Temperance: But I will make sure to remember your title.

Temperance: nods in assent.

Temperance: Yes please. Is there an inn or tavern nearby?

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh i forgot we were just visiting

Diorsex Trinketmake: We would normally say everyone is welcome, but you do have a larger crew than most

Temperance: Hm... understandable.

Rothuss Carder: I thought we were kinda small for a full ship.

Diorsex Trinketmake: There is not an inn as you would like, but I am certain that someome will take you in

Temperance: I wouldn't want to burden you, We are used to sleeping on our ship as well.

Diorsex Trinketmake: Most ships do not stop here overnight, they go straight on through to Crashboat

Temperance: nods.

Diorsex Trinketmake: Or yes, staying on their ships

Diorsex Trinketmake: But of course we will make room for you

Diorsex Trinketmake: I am interested in hearing where you are from, what you have seen

MeLange: oh thank y ou

Temperance: We would appreciate that. Thank you.

BOB He walks you up the steep stairs

MeLange: whoa these are some steep stairs!

MeLange: careful with the steep steps everyone!

BOB and a nice stone church, open to the wind in the front, remincient of the Temple of Orange Sunsets you are familiar with but not nearly as large

Glimber Silvernose: Thanks! Hard for me short legs

Temperance: This definitely reminds me of that Temple that Jericho was from.

Sriogz Trinketmake: Diorsex, Who are you dragging all this way up the hill this time?

Diorsex Trinketmake: Travellers from afar away

MeLange: it's 'whom'

Temperance: It is nice to meet you. I'm Temperance.

Sriogz Trinketmake: WHOM do I have the pleasure of addressing?

'Carissa' connected

Rothuss Carder: Forgive him, he's spent too much time in libraries.

Temperance: chuckles lightly.

MeLange: I'm Mel, short for Melange, but you can call me Mel

Temperance: Libraries sound rather nice.

Lirtimya: Do you have one of those here?

Sriogz Trinketmake: Thank you Mel, I am Srigoz Trinkemake, priestess of the 5th circle, peer of the mountain goats, seer for the clams, and the bearer of the sunrise

BOB So Zora can tell that this is set up so that when the sunrises, it hits that image and it reflects back out over the worshipers sitting in the benches

TMO (Rothuss Carder): NO! Our Priestess!

Inv Zora Polasis: Ohhhh .... this is beautiful

Sriogz Trinketmake: Warm smile, thank you

Inv Zora Polasis: points

Inv Zora Polasis: I would like to feel that warmth

Inv Zora Polasis: looks around happily

Sriogz Trinketmake: The little ones like to chase the like across the floor

Sriogz Trinketmake: It is time to enjoy dinner

Sriogz Trinketmake: Come let us just be at peace
