[Guy] oh we may still wind up with toybin
[BiBo!!!] toybin left didnt he?
[Lisa] if we are not going to deal with Toybin tonight, then we can just grab a room
[Lisa] and Kristelle went after him
[Guy] he left to get the paladins, and imari and kristelle went after him
[Master] actually you do not know that you are guessing that
[Lisa] Branwyn can run off and deliver the wedding dress and check on the dagger and waffle iron
[Master] ok
[Guy] well didnt he say he was going after the paladins?
[Lisa] that's what I thought
[Lisa] he was going to tell the Brothers
[BiBo!!!] well, I doubt they are HIS brothers...
[Lisa] and everyone else he can find along the way
[BiBo!!!] he might just come back with the three stooges
[Lisa] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but no Miranda - so no healing til next week)
[Master] she is working on it
[Master] she has a griddle
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry Scarlet)
[Master] but you have to flip it by hand, the hinge part is not working well
[BiBo!!!] ((scarlet dies a little more))
[Guy] lol
[Master] Foriso Fairhand moved 14'05".
[mikE] can we kill toybin yet?
[mikE] i don't like him
[mikE] gotta kill him
[mikE] sooooooon
[Guy] no killing toybin yet
[BiBo!!!] us good aligned people dont kill people who arent trying to kill us
[Master] you guys do understand that he has only been around for 4 or 5 days now, and has helped in every battle
[Guy] we need to make him look like a complete idiot first
[Master] that Hoffman went off only 9 days ago
[mikE] and he's slandering our name now
[Master] he told Miller the truth
[mikE] don't insult a barbarian unless your axe is bigger than theirs, damnit
[Guy] actually hes only slandering forisos name
[Master] someone surrendered to him, and foriso killed her
[mikE] he's telling the truth the way foxnews tells the truth
[Master] well in any case you are in the tavern,
[BiBo!!!] I am sure foriso doesnt mind the reputation. itll just make him seem more badass
[Master] are you going to try to do antyhing else this evening? or click to morning
[Guy] lol
[mikE] I will go off to the outskirts of town and fume for a while in the nature
[Guy] click to morning
[mikE] where people are SUPPOSED to be
[Master] and what is the plan for the morning? orignially was to continue to Loosend
[mikE] not in buildings
[BiBo!!!] then as the story spreads it will get bigger
[Guy] I am back at the keyboard.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I think we should just get going as planned - we leave a note with Miller for Kristelle to catch up with us)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (will that work?)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((thats why im willing toi let the paladins test me and end this right here and now))
[BiBo!!!] eventually we will come to towns and people would be all like, thats foriso! he killed a nun who was trying to save a litter of puppies from a burning building. She begged for her life but he killed her and kicked the puppies too. you dont wanna mess with him
[mikE] lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)
[mikE] at least it wasn't kittens
[mikE] or hellboy would have to kick his ass
[BiBo!!!] he would have eaten them if they were kittens
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((loll hey now i like cats))
[BiBo!!!] I can see it now, itll be like one piece
[BiBo!!!] every time we beat a bad guy he gets an ever increasing bounty on his head
[BiBo!!!] even though we arent doing anything wrong, the story that spreads says otherwise
[Master] so night comes
[mikE] foriso the stampede
[Master] You are all gathered in the Tavern again
[Master] Imari?
[Master] dinner with the group? or outside?
[mikE] i suppose eventually she'll come in
[Master] ok
[Master] so everyone is in the tavern
[Master] dinner is done
[Master] sleep
[Master] morning comes
[Master] Time of Day: 07:00 AM. Day 20 Trall ___ se, Ze {Mid Summer} 20th, 339 SKR.

[Master] are you heading out on the road to Loosend? or?
[Master] what do you want to tell Old Man Miller?
[Master] leave a confession behind? :)
[mikE] to go suck on an egg
[mikE] he's losing points fast
[mikE] he better watch out
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Hey Miller if the Paladins want to talk to me Im heading for Loosend
[Old Man Miller (Master)] what if it is someone else?
[mikE] i swear, this town keeps pushing imari and she's gonna snap. go all agent of death on their collective ass
[BiBo!!!] ::limps out of bed and glances at all of her bandages:: No no, this wont do. I cant be seen like this.
[Old Man Miller (Master)] are you coming back?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Scarlet modified: Spells - CHANGED: Flaming Sphere -- # Memorized: 1 (3), CHANGED: Invisibility -- # Memorized: 3 (1),
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Spells - CHANGED: Magic Missile -- # Memorized: +3 (+0), CHANGED: Spook -- # Memorized: +1 (+0),
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] Scarlet casts a spell against : Invisibility: Target is invisible for 24 hours or until he attacks, whichever comes first.
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] send them that way too I dont care, I did what I felt was needed to protect my family and Toybin dont like it he can go kiss aogres backside.
[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((wow my typing sucks tonight))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Provided we arent dead, we will return. My waffle maker demands it."
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] we'll be back
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "When that happens, is another story."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "A few weeks in the least."
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((I'll be Baack))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Still, we are not criminals and do not flee from justice. We have nothing to fear."
[Old Man Miller (Master)] Mister Indigo? you have always been a stand up guy, what do you say? what shoudl I tell people who come looking?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "So provided the people who come looking for us have an intention of justice we will see them when they find us."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Well... you need to tell Miss Kristelle to catch up with us on the way to Loosend.
[mikE] I am back at the keyboard.
[Indigo (Lisa)] As for anyone else, you can tell them not to believe everything they hear and we will be back when we have finished our business
[Imari (mikE)] "Tell Toybin if he continues to speak ill of us he will find out what it is to have us as enemies."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "Even if it IS a waste of time....."
[Indigo (Lisa)] It's not like he made it sound Miller. It really wasn't.
[Old Man Miller (Master)] sighs, I hear you mister Indigo
[Old Man Miller (Master)] but it is hard to figure out
[Old Man Miller (Master)] after all Foriso there did admit to killing her
[Old Man Miller (Master)] shrugs, but I am a bartender, I do not give out justice
[Imari (mikE)] "Only because I didn't first."
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] yes i did and I would do it again to protect my family
[Old Man Miller (Master)] I will tell anyone who asks that Mister Indigo said he would return and bring Foriso with him
[Imari (mikE)] "The woman was controlling a black dragon. She was attacking us still through magic. Toybin is too simple to know these things."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((thought it was green....))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you.
[Old Man Miller (Master)] (black)
[Imari (mikE)] black as your soul impudent wretch
[Imari (mikE)] not green as you would be if you were really at the power plant
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((lol))
[Old Man Miller (Master)] (laughs)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And Miller, as a man with a bit of past yourself, I hope that you would be discreet until this matter has been officially settled. Like you said, you are not the one to judge.
[Old Man Miller (Master)] Yes Miss Branwyn, I only want to know what you want me to say if others ask
[Old Man Miller (Master)] I hear the city is a dangerous place
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would not be surprised
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] there are worse places to be
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "The wilderness is dangerous too. Danger is everywhere."
[Old Man Miller (Master)] well I like my tavern here, I do hope it does not become dangerous
[Old Man Miller (Master)] do have a safe trip and hurry back
[Old Man Miller (Master)] better to clear this all up
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "What are you talking about? There was danger here too"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I agree. Take care of yourself, Miller.
[Master] Scarlet moved 7'07".
[Master] Foriso Fairhand moved 7'10".
[Master] Foriso Fairhand moved 18'11".
[Master] Indigo moved 9'11".
[Master] Branwyn moved 8'03".
[Master] Imari moved 8'10".
[Master] Ok, so from where you are the next population center is the Medipop Estates
[Master] that is only about 8-9 miles away
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((btw, I am staying invisible until I get some healing, cant be seen with my face half melting off))
[Master] and you could get a place to stay there, figure out the rest of the road to Loosend
[Master] if you want to have encounters along the way
[Master] or you can just click to Loosend
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sounds good)
[Master] which does?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((yes lol))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (both - but I like encounters)
[Master] Ok, how about we click to loosend now? then encounters on the way home?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I was typing before you said click)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] sounds good, especially since we are so beaten up
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] with no healer to fix that
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you just want to show off your maps)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that is fine)
[Master] lol
[Master] no no maps actually, you will have to work off the site, grins
[Master] I will put one up for you here
[Master] but it is 160 miles to Loosend, so that is about 11 days over very quick travel
[Master] about 60 miles out you break free of the Mist
[Master] and see the sun
[Master] and stars for the first time
[Imari (mikE)] wow. what are those daddy?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] first time for who?
[Master] first time in many months
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] (( ok much better lol))
[Master] Imari moved 1'05".
[Master] Imari moved 11'00".
[Master] everyone good with that map?
[Imari (mikE)] isn't this where we fought the ankheg
[Imari (mikE)] and the lizard men?
[Master] no
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] the swamp map?
[Master] no, the Loosend Overview map
BiBo!!! is receiving the map Loosend_overview...
[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.
BiBo!!! has received the map Loosend_overview.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] taking a while to load
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] why is half of it missing?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] the lower half is just a gray block
[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Loosend
[Master] there is the webpage with the info and map
[Master] might be easier to use that
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] you kno wwhat this map is missing?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] a scale
Lisa has left the game on Fri Apr 01 20:01:07 EDT 2011
[Master] the overland maps do not have them, becuase they are just for large scale navigation
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] still, an idea of how big this map is would be nice. the city doesnt look all that big
[Master] Ok, letting everything settling down
Lisa has joined the game on Fri Apr 01 20:01:59 EDT 2011
Lisa is receiving the map Loosend...
[Master] I put a new map up inside of Klooge
[Master] letting Lisa get that one first

[Master] This is the web page for the map you are on now
[Master] can everyone see that now?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] still no scale though :-P
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so now we are running around religious city for a few days? thinking I might need to change spells)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((yeah))
[Master] but the scale on the map is correct
[Master] and yes to Lisa this is your chance to reset spells for the morning befor eyou enter the city

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Spells - CHANGED: Comprehend Languages -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Spook -- # Memorized: +0 (+1),
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (not that kind of priest)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((what madness is that? She's a witch isnt she)
[Master] grins
[Imari (mikE)] lol
[Imari (mikE)] nah. witches can heal, too
[Imari (mikE)] imari kills you, then raises you
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] (but that still leaves me at walking wounded. just a waste of energy to do that)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you are healed after 11 days)
[Master] so do you all know what you are doing here?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((nope lol))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oh for her to kill you. I am slow tonight)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (dropping Miranda off at her temple)
[Master] and? the other training?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] scarlet is searching for syrup
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((oh yeah its training time lol))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's Foriso's deal. I guess I can wander around for a stray mage)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (does Imari need training too?)
[Imari (mikE)] I'm feeling uneasy by the presence of the city
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((im only training observation right?))
[Imari (mikE)] nope
[Imari (mikE)] she's had her training
[Imari (mikE)] and i do remember, bob
[Master] ok, as you sort out your stories for the guards at the ferry I will use the rest room adn get a drink
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] We need stories for the guards?
[Imari (mikE)] level two was training by the conveniently placed barbarians outside of mosskin's place
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (stories for ferrymen?)
[Imari (mikE)] and level three was a trek to the barbarians with indigo
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "What are you doing here?" "Training" "Training" "Training" "Looking for syrup"
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] "move along then"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (one less thing to worry about)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how do you find something to train you to notice things?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sounds like a scam to me)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((no clue))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (pay me 700 gp and i will teach you how to look around a room)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you will be certified with a nice diploma to hang on your wall)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] (I dunno, I imagine the trainer to be some crazy old yoda like man)
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Master] laughs at LIsa,
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] (feel your surroundings you should. see with your other senses you must. notice the unnoticeable)
[Master] if you can not find me then you need more training
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Master] OK
[Master] so Imari still has open slots to train in
[Master] and Kristelle was too
[Imari (mikE)] yeah, but she hasn't had a good thing cross her path
[Master] you are all good with your spells for the day?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Branwyn needs to find a mage in a town full of priests and criminals - she is not hopeful)
[Master] for game play the map in Klooge has a fairly close scale for you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I have set spells - no idea if they will be of any use but have some)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] check out the adventurers guild or mages guild
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol - just noticed the secret passage on map. Not much of a secret anymore)
[Master] Miranda was here before and can tell you the Norse temple is in the Old City,
[Master] I am not going to keep shoving new maps up in Klooge you can follow those on the site
[Master] so you can concentrate on the chat in Klooge
[Master] you can enter the city here at the South Docks
[Master] near the Temple of Winds
[Master] or over through Trader Town
[Master] which is closer to the Temple of Odin
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] hey can I have some money to go buy a slave?
[Imari (mikE)] will you feed it?
[Imari (mikE)] you'll have to walk it every day before breakfast and after school.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] of course not. thats the point of a slave. it takes care of me, I dont take care of it
[Imari (mikE)] are you really ready for this responcibility?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((not true if you dont take care of it, it cant take care of you))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] lets get a place to stay for the next few weeks so we know where we can find each other at the end of the day
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] lets enter through trader town
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] then scatter as needed
[Master] Ok, so
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I don't see any hotel here)
[Master] There is an inn here in Trader Town
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((probably just not labelled. a town this size has to have one))
[Master] they are used to travelers from the south
[Master] You are here #3 moved 139'10".
[Master] You are here #3 moved 321'11".
[Master] ok, so eveyrone is ready to move out?
[Master] I am goign to move that You are Here
[Master] so that you know where you are in the city map
[Imari (mikE)] "Indigo, where are we going?"
[Master] you should follow along on the site or just in chat
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] Dragonslayers! Roll out!
[Indigo (Lisa)] I have no idea. I hope Miranda knows her way around. This place looks awfully big
[Imari (mikE)] "I will follow you."
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((ok there Optimus Gaijin))
[Master] so you are all on a ferry crossing
[Master] and get off at the gates there,
[Master] apparently this is a busy crossing because the first large building on your right hand side is the Merchants Guild
[Master] You are here #3 moved 119'11".
[Master] as you are moving through the throngs in front of the building
[Alms Begger (Master)] alms alms sir
[Alms Begger (Master)] please sir just a penny
[Alms Begger (Master)] anything you have sir will be good
[Alms Begger (Master)] and Indigo make a save versus paralyzation
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] im going to keep a close eye on the "beggar"
[Alms Begger (Master) (to Guy only)] he is talking to you, you are the only male here other than indigo
[Alms Begger (Master)] the begger is talking to Foriso
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] hes giving you ticks!
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo: Paralysis, Poison or Death save: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 7!!
[Alms Begger (Master)] with Indigo and Imari along the back
[Alms Begger (Master)] Ok
[Alms Begger (Master)] so Indigo suddenly SLAPS at a hand that was slipping into his pocket
[Alms Begger (Master)] as Foriso is distracted by the begger up front
[Indigo (Lisa)] Hey! Get out of there!
[Master] Indigo, Scarlet, Foriso Fairhand, Imari and Branwyn moved 479'00".
[Thief (Master)] RUN
[Alms Begger (Master)] please sir
[Alms Begger (Master)] please
[Imari (mikE)] heh heh
[Alms Begger (Master)] just a penny
[Imari (mikE)] i want to tell the guy picking his pocket to die
[Guard (Master)] hear hear
[Imari (mikE)] word of command
[Guard (Master)] stipe that
[Guard (Master)] ok
Indigo (Lisa) clutches his things closer to him grumbling
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't know if I like this place
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) grins at Indigo and winks
[Master] So as Foriso and the begger up front are dickering, two guards come out of the crowd, the young girl who was attempting to pick Indigo's pocket falls over asleep from Imari's spell and one of the guards picks her up
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] It will get worse before it gets better
[Guard (Master)] Hello Governor what do we have here
[Guard (Master)] shakes the girl awake
[Guard (Master)] looking at the group, and who are you?
[Indigo (Lisa)] That's what I'm afraid of
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Hey careful there she fainted
[Guard (Master)] a small crowd gathers around you
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] no need to be so rough, she was only trying to get some help
[Guard (Master)] one guard SNAGS the beggar
[Guard (Master)] other holding the girl
[Guard (Master)] so just who are you people?
[Imari (mikE)] "She was trying to steal from my friend."
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] visitors
[Guard (Master)] beggar squirming
[Guard (Master)] you look pretty well armed for just visitors
[Guard (Master)] guards look at each other
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] No Imari she wasnt trying to steal, she was trying to get help
[Guard (Master)] lookign at Foriso like he is daft
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] we just came from the mist so of course we are well armed
[Guard (Master)] the little chit was trying to steal from him, pointing at Indigo
[Guard (Master)] it is plain as the nose on your face
[Guard (Master)] who are you, ?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] and I say she was trying to get help.
Indigo (Lisa) looks at Foriso quizzically
[Imari (mikE)] "I know you must have some sort of comraderie with her, but she was stealing from us.
[Imari (mikE)] "Which was a bad move."
[Guard (Master)] the other guard looks at the group
[Guard (Master)] looks at the crowd around them
[Guard (Master)] all fine folks, just move along
[Guard (Master)] settling things out with some new visitors to town is all
[Guard (Master)] the guard holding the girl gives her a small shake
[Guard (Master)] looking at each other, then the other guard lets the beggar go
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't know what she was doing, but she didn't take anything
[Guard (Master)] and he scurries off into the crowd
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] She wasnt stealing she was trying to tug on Indigos cloak and her hand got caught up on his belt
[Guard (Master)] looking at Indigo, sorry abou tthat Governer
[Guard (Master)] looking back at Foriso,
[Guard (Master)] staring,
[Guard (Master)] who are you ?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I was watching the whole thing and not gawking at the big city
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] :: nonchalantly distances herself from the group ::
[Guard (Master)] why are you protecting such a little chit?
[Guard (Master)] we have caught her before
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] because i would hate to see a child accused of something she didnt do
[Guard (Master)] her mother woudl be ashamed of her if she wasn't just as bad
[Guard (Master)] so look folks, what is your buisness in teh city?
[Guard (Master)] who are you and why are you here?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I cant help what you did before I only know about now
[Administrator (Master)] Is there trouble here Constable?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] we are bringing our friend to her temple for training
[Guard (Master)] Not sure Sir
[Guard (Master)] suspicious lot here
[Guard (Master)] tryign to help a known thief, refusing to give names
[Imari (mikE)] "I stopped her."
[Imari (mikE)] "She was stealing from Indigo."
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) goes over to the Administator and whisper my true name in his ear
[Guard (Master)] really?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!) (to Master only)]
[Guard (Master) (to BiBo!!! only)] yes
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!) (to Master only)] I will distance myself from the group and go invis, then follow where ever the girl goes after this.
[Guard (Master)] just who are you people? you come to the city well armed
[Guard (Master)] you do not seem to fit in here
[Guard (Master)] lookign at the administrator, just checking Sir,
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] we travelled out of the mist as i said before so of course we will be well armed
[Guard (Master)] looking back and forth
[Guard (Master)] the Mist is a long ways off
[Imari (mikE)] "I am Imari Blackfeather, priestess of Partik."
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] weve been traveling for about a fortnight now
[Master] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] I am back at the keyboard.
[Administrator (Master)] Good to Meet you Imari
[Administrator (Master)] not many travelers from Carnak these days
[Administrator (Master)] I gather there is a big moot going on to pick a new chieften?
[Imari (mikE)] ::nods:: "But I am bound to the DragonSlayers."
[Administrator (Master)] Looking over at Foriso, you are all traveling together? you have the look of a group of fighters....
[Administrator (Master)] dragonslayers you say?
[Imari (mikE)] "So I will not be able to be there. I am bringing Partik's blessings to our unit."
[Imari (mikE)] "Yes. We are a unit of the group."
[Administrator (Master)] Oh
[Administrator (Master)] Dragonslayers
[Administrator (Master)] as in the mercenaries?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Aye
[Imari (mikE)] "Special Detatched Unit."
[Administrator (Master)] well this is extremely fortitous
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((uh oh))
[Administrator (Master)] I have a meeting to go to
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We are on vacation
[Administrator (Master)] but if you would call on me in my offices
[Administrator (Master)] this evening over supper
[Administrator (Master)] I have a propsoal for you
[Administrator (Master)] will be an easy thing for someone of your stature,
[Administrator (Master)] thank you
[Imari (mikE)] "I will relay your invitation."
[Administrator (Master)] looking at the group,
[Imari (mikE)] ::bows::
[Administrator (Master)] see you tonight
[Guard (Master)] what about this one?
[Guard (Master)] shakes the girl
[Imari (mikE)] "Indigo, she wronged you. What do you say?"
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] will you stop shaking her like shes a sack of wheat
[Guard (Master)] Proffessor Watson! what do I do with her?
[Guard (Master)] but he is gone
[Guard (Master)] looking back at your group
[Guard (Master)] well if Professor Watson invited you, you must be important
[Guard (Master)] although I never heard of you,
[Guard (Master)] but we do get lots of different mercs through here
[Imari (mikE)] "Professor Watson."
[Guard (Master)] so where are you staying?
[Imari (mikE)] "He is important?"
[Master] Time of Day: 03:00 PM. Day 4 Ced ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 4th, 339 SKR.
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] well we were looking for an inn when we were interrupted
[Guard (Master)] you might say so Governor, he is on the ruling council
[Guard (Master)] one of the 5 administrators fo the city
[Guard (Master)] he must have taken a shine to you right fast
[Guard (Master)] squints at your group
[Guard (Master)] not sure why though
[Imari (mikE)] "Ah. One of your chieftans. Very good. Then it will be an honor to be invited to dine in his hall."
[Guard (Master)] Oh you want an inn
[Guard (Master)] how much are you able to spend?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] thats because he is smarter than most guards
[Guard (Master)] have a nice place right around the corner here, will only cost you two gold a night
[Guard (Master)] not a real fancy place but it will do
[Imari (mikE)] "If we may, I would like that one's wrists bound and have her turned over to Indigo until he renders judgement on what to do with her."
[Guard (Master)] This little chit?
[Guard (Master)] looks at the other guard,
[Guard (Master)] well I suppse that is ok
[Guard (Master)] but don't blame me governor if she ends up stabbing you in the night
[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't want her! I just want her to go away.
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Ill take charge of her
[Guard (Master)] shakes her again Now see what you have done, not even the nice young halfling wants you
[Guard (Master)] you better mend your ways or you will end up in the slops soon enough
[Imari (mikE)] "Then send her with the guards."
[Imari (mikE)] ::nods to the guards::
[Imari (mikE)] "Your say Indigo as she stole from you."
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] If you dont stop shaking her I will make sure that you spend the next several years guarding the sewers
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Imari shut up and leave the girl to me
[Imari (mikE)] "Foriso, don't antagonize the guard."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Technically she only tried to steal from me. I just want her gone from us
[Imari (mikE)] "That will only cause trouble."
[Indigo (Lisa)] Foriso, I do not trust her with us
[Indigo (Lisa)] If you want her to stay with us, perhaps you and she should get your own room at the inn.
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!) (to Guy only)]
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] fine with me
[Imari (mikE)] "Foriso, you are not to talk to me that way again."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!) (to Guy only)] you hear a whisper in your ear, "Just let her go. I will take care of her" You notice scarlet is missing.
[Imari (mikE)] "Just when I thought you had some redeeming qualities, you show your true colors."
Indigo (Lisa) clutches his bags tighter to him and looks at Branwyn
[Indigo (Lisa)] I really do not like this place
[Imari (mikE)] "Me neither, Indigo. I think you are becoming more like a barbarian each day."
[Imari (mikE)] "Soon you'll be a short one of us."
[Guard (Master)] the crowds of people flow around you
[Guard (Master)] the guards look at each other
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] you are welcome to think what you like Imari maybe someday you will understand just exactyly what i did today
[Guard (Master)] you know where to meed Professor Watson tonight?
[Imari (mikE)] "No. Where do we go, good guard?"
[Guard (Master)] not sure where you are from but here supper is normally at 5 bells
[Guard (Master)] points up the street, go up that way to the temple of Ukko
Indigo (Lisa) mumbles, "it would help if you explained yourself sometimes."
[Imari (mikE)] ::aside to Foriso:: "If you would ever share your mind with us maybe we would. Now show some respect for your unit for once."
[Guard (Master)] make a right and the adminstration building will be on your right
[Imari (mikE)] "Thank you, sir."
[Imari (mikE)] lol. indigo and imari are awesome
[Guard (Master)] i fyou go past the Temple of Ukko you will find the town square
[Guard (Master)] there are several inns there
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((if you would think about it you would know why foriso is reluctant to say whats on his mind at this point in time lol))
[Imari (mikE)] sure, but imari isn't a devious mind.
[Imari (mikE)] if you can't do it in public it's not worthy behavior
[Indigo (Lisa)] (all he can think of is Foriso likes to protect other thieves but that does not mean that Indigo wants to stay up all night watching his stuff)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((im a rougue in front of guards trying to get on the good side of a city thief)
[Master] You are here #3 moved 534'01".
[Guard (Master)] so #11 on the map there is the Temple of Ukko
[Indigo (Lisa)] (near the B&B we will be staying at?)
[Guard (Master)] you can see where the admin building is (#24) and the town square (#12)
[Guard (Master)] grins
[Guard (Master)] there are plenty near by
[Master] You are here #3 moved 237'03".
[Guard (Master)] We will put you there for the night
[Guard (Master)] just off the town square
[Guard (Master)] what are you doing with the girl?
[Imari (mikE)] at least we're all local
[Indigo (Lisa)] (tossing her to the curb?)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((forisos going to have a chat with her before letting her go))
[Master] Ok so
[Thief (Master)] Look don't hurt me please
[Thief (Master)] (where are you having this talk?)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((my room))
[Thief (Master)] I will do anything you want
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] im using thieves cant as well
[Imari (mikE)] "Little girl, if you try and steal from us again I will make you die for real."
[Imari (mikE)] "Something to think about."
[Thief (Master)] well, looks at Foriso, maybe not anything
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) grins at the girl
[Thief (Master)] I won't charge you
[Thief (Master)] I can make you happy if you just let me go
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Thats not what i had in mind when i got you away from the guards
[Thief (Master)] snorts, every man thinks that
[Thief (Master)] shrugs, it is ok, I am used to it
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] in cant i tell her im looking for some to help with some training

[Thief (Master)] sets it on the chair
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] easy now Im not looking for that
[Thief (Master)] then what do you want?
[Indigo (Lisa)] ( a pink pony)
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) leans in closer "Im looking for some help with learning something"
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] (no no, a pink unicorn!)
[Thief (Master)] blinks and goggles her eyes
[Thief (Master)] you don't know how?
[Thief (Master)] where are you from mister

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((youre both wrong Neil Patrick Harris on a white unicorn))

[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] LOL
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) sighs
[Thief (Master)] you need me to show you how
[Thief (Master)] well see
[Thief (Master)] moves forward to undo Foriso's pants
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] STOP RIGHT THERE
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] I try to pick her pocket
[Thief (Master)] make that roll
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to GM only)] Foriso Fairhand: Pick Pockets check:(d100) [1d100=18] 18 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 40!!
[Thief (Master)] and Foriso pulls his hand in front of her face holding out a small shell
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] what roll? save vs petrification?
[Imari (mikE)] god damnit
[Imari (mikE)] that stupid shell again?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] although I prefer locks and traps
[Thief (Master)] no
[Thief (Master)] (sorry no nto that shell )
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((not that shell lol))
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) hands her the shell back

[Thief (Master)] depends on if the Bonny is at the docks
[Thief (Master)] I think she is here now so that would make five
[Thief (Master)] but I really need to go mister
[Thief (Master)] have to make my dinner
[Thief (Master)] I don't have supper with the upper class like you
[Thief (Master)] must be nice
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) grins and hands her a couple of silver coins
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Im not looking forward to that supper at all
[Thief (Master)] plams them quickly
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] maybe later you can help introduce me to a couple people

[Master] You are here #3 moved 295'00".
[Master] you are escorted in to a dinning hall
[Indigo (Lisa)] (if Foriso cannot find someone with observation skills on Baker Street - that would be sad)
[Master] a high stool is brought in for Indigo
[Master] chuckles
[Indigo (Lisa)] (Indigo has to sit in a high chair?)
[Master] and dinner is served to you by staff, the Professor has not shown up
[Master] not a high chair, but a stool so he is on the same level as everyone
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) leans over and whispers to Indigo "you should trust me, Id never do anything to harm the group"
[Master] partway through dinner Professor Watson comes in
[Master] gathers up some bread and meat and starts to eat
Indigo (Lisa) sighs,"I know. but it is hard to understand sometimes."
[Master] then looks up at the group
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) winks at Indigo
[Professor Watson (Master)] Sorry about that folks
[Professor Watson (Master)] my staff has taken care of you I see
[Professor Watson (Master)] it is good to sit down and relax after a long day
[Professor Watson (Master)] pulsl out a pipe
[Professor Watson (Master)] I have some excellent pipeweed here
[Professor Watson (Master)] imported from Gold Hills, the finest in the land
[Professor Watson (Master)] Longbottom leaf
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((pass the weed pipe))
[Imari (mikE)] "I have no pipe, sir. But thank you for the offer."
[Professor Watson (Master)] SNAPS his fingers and a servant comes with a tray for you
[Professor Watson (Master)] please help your self
[Professor Watson (Master)] passes out a cordial
[Imari (mikE)] ::smiles and looks over the pipes, picks the longest one with the darkest wood::
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Thats very true it doesnt get much better than Longbottom Leaf. What year is the leaf?
[Imari (mikE)] "Your gift is truly a chiefly one."
[Imari (mikE)] ::as she enjoys the pipe she begins to fiddle with things under the table in her lap::
[Professor Watson (Master)] it must be still the 37, I am not sure the 38 is ready yet
[Imari (mikE)] she's making a token of partik for the professor as thank you for the pipe
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] where you able to try the 24?
[Professor Watson (Master)] I did not catch everyone's name here
[Professor Watson (Master)] if you woudl be so kind
[Professor Watson (Master)] I am Professor Watson as I am sure you have found out by now
[Professor Watson (Master)] I am the current vice chair fo the Adminstration Council
[Professor Watson (Master)] Administrative
[Imari (mikE)] "The guard informed us of your position as a chieftan."
[Professor Watson (Master)] and you are all strangers to the city this is true?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] they call me Foriso among other things
[Imari (mikE)] "This is my first time in the city."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am Branwyn of Roppenmere.
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((not sure would foriso have come through here on his way to the meeting place?))
[Professor Watson (Master)] is possible
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I traveled through here on my way into the mist.
[Professor Watson (Master)] frowns, did you spend any time here in the city?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] only a couple of nights
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] just long enough to rest and replenish my supplies
[Professor Watson (Master)] ok, that should not matter
[Professor Watson (Master)] and you Master Halfling?
[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo, Sir
[Professor Watson (Master)] looking around
[Professor Watson (Master)] ok, so what I say here shoudl be taken as a privledge
[Professor Watson (Master)] I have a problem that I need a set of outside eyes to look at. The Religious Council will not believe any findings put out by the Administrative Council unless we have someone outside of the City Watch look into this.
[Professor Watson (Master)] you understand this?
[Professor Watson (Master)] you will swear to them that I did not influence you before meeting you?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] influence us in what?
[Professor Watson (Master)] at all
[Professor Watson (Master)] that I did not influence you
[Imari (mikE)] ::nods::
[Professor Watson (Master)] do you all agree that is the case?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I guess
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] on one condition
Indigo (Lisa) wonders if a really nice dinner and pipes are influence
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((super influence))
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Id like that guard that was shaking that child spend a few days guarding the sewer.
[Professor Watson (Master)] I will not agree to that
[Professor Watson (Master)] that woudl be influencing
[Professor Watson (Master)] conditions and I will not so that
[Imari (mikE)] ::glares at Foriso::
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] doesnt have to be right away
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((conditions and I will not so that? what does that mean?))
[Imari (mikE)] "Don't try and blackmail the man. We cannot let personal feelings interfere with our business."
[Professor Watson (Master)] will not do that
[Imari (mikE)] "This is a contract, not a chance for personal vengence."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((ooh... confused by the enter. I understand now))
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] sory but I dont like grown men that shake children no matter what reason they think they have
[Imari (mikE)] "Bad children need a good shake."
[Imari (mikE)] "Now, chieftan, what of this contract?"
[Professor Watson (Master)] I will not shake any children in your presense then
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] there was nothing bad about that child
[Professor Watson (Master)] We have a madman somewhere in the city. And a queer madness he has too. You wouldn't think there was anyone living at this time of day who had such a hatred of Letizia the First that he would break any image of her that he could see. Which is unusual in itself but then, when the man commits burglary in order to break images which are not his own, that brings it away from the priest and doctor and on to the city watch.
[Professor Watson (Master)] The first case reported was four days ago. It was at the shop of Morse Hudson, who has a place for the sale of pictures and statues on Kennington Road in the Old City. The assistant had left the front shop for an instant, when he heard a crash, and hurrying in he found a plaster bust of Letizia, which stood with several other works of art upon the counter, lying shivered into fragments. He rushed out into the road, but, although several passers-by declared that they had noticed a man run out of the shop, he could neither see anyone nor could he find any means of identifying the rascal. It seemed to be one of those senseless acts of Hooliganism which occur from time to time, and it was reported to the constable on the beat as such. The plaster cast was not worth more than a couple of silvers, and the whole affair appeared to be too childish for any particular investigation.
[Imari (mikE)] "And are we to capture him?"
[Professor Watson (Master)] The second case, however, was more serious, and also more singular. It occurred only last night.
[Professor Watson (Master)] On Kennington Road, and within a fifty yards of Morse Hudson's shop, there lives a well-known medical practitioner, named Dr. Barnicot, who has one of the largest practices upon the the Old City. His residence and principal consulting-room is at Kennington Road but he has a branch surgery and dispensary at Lower Brixton Road in the South End. This Dr. Barnicot is an enthusiastic admirer of Letizia, and his house is full of books, pictures, and relics of the woman. Some little time ago he purchased from Morse Hudson two duplicate plaster casts of the famous head of Letizia by the half-elf sculptor, Devine. One of these he placed in his hall in the house at Kennington Road, and the other on the mantelpiece of the surgery at Lower Brixton. Well, when Dr. Barnicot came down this morning he was astonished to find that his house had been burgled during the night, but that nothing had been taken save the plaster head from the hall. It had been carried out and had been dashed savagely against the garden wall, under which its splintered fragments were discovered."
[Professor Watson (Master)] This is certainly novel and curious but I have not got to the end yet. Dr. Barnicot was due at his surgery at the fourth bell, and you can imagine his amazement when, on arriving there, he found that the window had been opened in the night, and that the broken pieces of his second bust were strewn all over the room. It had been smashed to bits where it stood. In neither case were there any signs which could give us a clue as to the criminal or lunatic who had done the mischief. Now, you have got the facts of what has happened.
[Professor Watson (Master)] If you can find this madman and bring them to justice I will have the council pay for one of your group's training needs. I presume you are staying in the city? Where can I reach you in the morning?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((just plaster busts are being smashed?))
[Professor Watson (Master)] yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And Letizia the First is associated with which temple?
[Professor Watson (Master)] Letizia was one of the founding members of the city, she was a staunch opponent of the principle of Sanctuary
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And is there a particular shop that creates these busts?
[Imari (mikE)] "I should think if he is that compulsive we simply set up a public art show featuring this bust he keeps breaking."
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((well, seems there was a batch of plaster replicas that were made that either this guy doesnt like to see copies of, or something is hidden in one or all of those busts. key to something else maybe?))
[Imari (mikE)] lol. hudson hawk.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the game is afoot)
[Imari (mikE)] i call kitkat
[Professor Watson (Master)] I am not sure of a particular shop, perhaps you can investigate that further
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((why didnt watson go to his buddy holmes?))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((afk a bit, gotta replace the kerosine before I freeze))
[Imari (mikE)] that guy's kinda a douche
[Imari (mikE)] really stuck up
[Professor Watson (Master)] Winding your way down on Baker Street Light in your head, and dead on your feet Well another crazy day You drink the night away And forget about everything This city desert makes you feel so cold, Its got so many people but its got no soul And it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong When you thought it held everything
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((huh??))
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Professor and wonders what is really in his pipe
[Master] (need a saxaphone solo guy?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's an old song)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((dont sound familair))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you would know if you heard it - kinda a classic 70s thing)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((i was only born in 67 i dont remember the 70s music scene that well lol))
[Branwyn (Lisa)] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1Y_mUragAo
[Master] nice work lisa
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I had to turn it on - thanks Bob!)
[Master] smiles
[Imari (mikE)] music is against my religion
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the thing about being oldest kid - all you get early on is your parent's music)
[Master] (Nyrma only knew it from the Simpsons, and Lisa doing the sax solo)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (of course Lisa would have done it)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((ok now that im heariung it I recognize it))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] sounds like the background music to every 70's movie ever
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((hey lisa thats not always true, my parents lioke country music me I like rock and metal))
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] I only recognize the intro sax part though. never heard any other part of this song
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I like more than what they liked too - I just only got exposed to their stuff for a long time. I had a sheltered childhood)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] ?)
[Master] Marlins won 6-2 over the mets on opening night
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (oops - anyway... do we take this mystery?)
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] anyways, moving on. there are more sherlock holmes references to be seen I am sure
[Master] are you agreeing to be consultants on this case?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I'm up for it)
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((not willingly lol))
[Imari (mikE)] back to the game?
[Master] Guy have you told Kaz what is happening?
[Scarlet (BiBo!!!)] ((no reason to say no I suppose))
[Imari (mikE)] yeah. after all, we're currently on one job being paid to NOT do anything. guess we can double book
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((I paraphrased but i told her))
[Master] ok,

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at others wondering if they are going to pursue the investigation
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well, I have many questions.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] How common are these busts of Letizia? Can one buy them at any stall about the city or were these a particular craftsman's work?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It seems that the ones that were destroyed belonged to fairly well to do people
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] Oh she is a well known figure in the cities history,
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] I am sure we can find something with her likeness on
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] I would not know if these are famous works through
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you know of a local artisan who makes these busts?
[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] what about the sculptor how many did he create?
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] no I can not say that I do but I would guess the owner of that art shop could tell you
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] in the morning I can take you there
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be wonderful
[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] standing in the middle of the Temple of Winds
Foriso Fairhand (Guy) leans over to Branwyn and whispers "youll have to go without me i have an appointment of my own in the morning"
