mharmon9 has received the map Base Map.
[Master] welcome
[mharmon9] Hello!
[Master] how are you tonight?
[mharmon9] Very Budy. The stroms will force me to leave a little early
[Master] oh?
[mharmon9] I have to head on out at 5:30 PM
[mharmon9] my time
[mharmon9] hopefully I can get what I need done and be back after
[mharmon9] Sorry
[Master] what is up with the storm? what do you have to do?
[mharmon9] My company is a sweeping company. When the stroms hit, the next day i'm usually very busy. Even on my supposed days off haha
[mharmon9] Usually clients call and bug me
[Master] ahh
[mharmon9] So...Odd question if your up for it?
[Master] anything
[mharmon9] You are pretty damn smart. I would wager with all this technology your around you know how to program?
[Master] some
[Master] I know the basics, I know what can be done, etc.
[mharmon9] I would be interested in learning when I have some spare time. (If ever). I feel it would be good in today's world to expand my skillset.
[mharmon9] Any ideas on where to begin?
[Master] depends on what you are looking to make happen
[Master] learning to "code" involves a lot of misc things
[Master] but I would say YouTube and Lynda.com are both good places to start
[Master] Lynda.com requires a subscription but your local library might provide that
[mharmon9] Okay. I have Lynda saved on my PC. My college provides it as a courtesy. Im looking into it!
[Master] Treehouse is another place that libraries subscribe to that provides customized training
[mharmon9] I've heard it's a good help
[Master] yeah Lynda works well for lots of learnign things
[mharmon9] Honestly, the world is changing so fast, that I'm trying to learn skills that no matter what happens will keep me with a job.
[Master] nods
[Master] Unity is where you can to be if you can
[mharmon9] IOkay
[Master] that is one of the base programing languages for VR and other 3D environments
[mharmon9] Really?
[mharmon9] I'll take a look
[mharmon9] I'll be honest, I feel pretty secure with my company, but you know. It never hurts to be prepared for the worst. If people need you for something, then you can always find work. At least I hope that philosophy holds up.
[Master] yeap
[Master] it always does
[Master] plus finding somethign you WANT to do is very important
[mharmon9] It's scary how fast technology is replacing humans though.
Lisa has joined the game on Fri Apr 08 19:06:22 EDT 2016
Lisa is receiving the map Base Map...
[mharmon9] Yep
[mharmon9] Hello Lisa!
Lisa has received the map Base Map.
[Master] there are probably 10% of the jobs out there right now that cannot be replaced by a robot within 10 years
[Master] it is only a questoin of costs
[mharmon9] That is a scary idea
[Master] you do a lot of trucking stuff right?
[Lisa] Hello :)
[mharmon9] It would cause chaos
[Master] hello LIsa
[mharmon9] My father does. He is aware of the situation
[Master] you saw the convoy in Germany this week?
[mharmon9] He is considering expanding if the technology keeps up
[mharmon9] I did
[mharmon9] We keep up to date
[Master] just need to buy the trucks, ditch the drivers, hire people to off load when it gets there
[mharmon9] Yep
[Master] and how was your week LIsa?
[mharmon9] The problem will be all the legislation that goes with it. Furthermore, the richest companies will corner the market and screw a lot of people out of a job. Unfortunate, but that's how the world works.
[mharmon9] BRB
[mharmon9] alright back
[Master] So do you have any idea where things stand Michael?
[mharmon9] what about?
[mharmon9] The game?
[Master] grins
[mharmon9] I know where we are and the current situation
[mharmon9] Teh bugbear village
[Master] nods
[mharmon9] Not so sure about Lis'as character though
[Master] For Branwyn it is mid day on the 26th
[mharmon9] Okay
[mharmon9] She have an event planned?
[Master] for the Barber group it is the 28th
[mharmon9] Okay
[Master] Mario will be about an hour and a half from now, around 9
[mharmon9] Crap.
[Master] and TMO will be in at some point near then
[mharmon9] So, i'm too early and they are a little later
[mharmon9] \Hopefully I can get done quickly
[Master] well we can do things now
[mharmon9] Cool
[Master] when Lisa is ready to do things about the house
[mharmon9] Okay
[Master] Lisa?
[Lisa] yes?
[Master] did you want to do which things? the Lunch? or?
[Lisa] lwhat lunch?
[Master] you had the Tea with Remorgas
[Master] and then what did you want to do?
[Lisa] yes 0 tea is usually after lunch
[Master] so it is the 26th in the residence, what did Branwyn want to do?
[Lisa] that is all I had planned for that day but who am I? if you have plans let me know.
[Master] she has the book from the library
[Lisa] yes that we determined will not help and has a serious trap on it
[Master] ok
[mharmon9] Traps aren't fun
[Master] so I am open to suggestions on what else you would like to do
[Master] the next thing on the calendar is the City Council meeting on the 28th
[mharmon9] She wants to slaughter without reprecussions
[Lisa] I would move to the next day if my thoughts matter
[Master] ok so then the morning of the 27th
[Master] not a problem
[Master] The morning meeting is the new quiet
[Master] Branwyn, Jennevive, Branadarus
[Master] Elle is off somewhere in the household (one round behind Mike not here)
[Master] actually sorry she is off with Ilero
[Master] they left yesterday
[Master] so just the staff and the three of you
[Master] at the morning meeting
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified:
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (OK)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Did you have any requests today Branwyn?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I have held back most of the requests for appearances as you do not have any of your group to handle them
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think so.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] there is nothing pressing that you alone can handle right now
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You would be surprised
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Tomorrow of course is the City Council meeting and I am not sure who you would send, Marisu and Elle and Sere were supposed to handle that for you
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] but they are all gone right now
[mharmon9] those moochers!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I will attend.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I did ask and found out the name of your fosterling is Andy
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I think that is a nickname
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Lovely.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Who on earth hands out children at dinner parties.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I think it was an attempt to show his culture, they do have fosterlings at their residence I have learned
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] it is only a year, we are supposed to teach them our ways, learn from them about theirs
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] From the mouths of babes I suppose sort of thing
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Children don't have ways.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] at least Andy can help clean
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Other than to demand things and get underfoot
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Andy is apparently already ten
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] some would say time to find a job
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] looks younger
[mharmon9] He could babysit Mercy the demon baby
[mharmon9] Taek a load of my schedule
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (thought you took her)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (Mercy is with Hugh and a prisoner also, ..... )
[mharmon9] HAHAHAHA
[mharmon9] I'm a horrible parent
[mharmon9] I suppose I'll have to figure out this mess
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (you could give her to the bugbears)
[mharmon9] I would sooner rot in hell
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Is there anything else I can assist with this morning?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it sucks that Mike is not here as he was the only one I thought that could talk to them)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (you will all have to play charades with bugbears)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I have notes that says Kenna was goign to be at the Grand Celestry today ?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think so. I was thinking of trying something with the red scrolls but that could turn into a disaster.
Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master) swallows
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] disaster in a bad way?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] or disaster in a horrible burn the Residence down way?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What do you think would happen if we open the book that sends out the killing frost and tossed the scrolls into it?
Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master) blinks
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well, if it works the scrolls would freeze.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If it doesn't work then all three might open at once.
Joseph Shortkin (Master) clears his throat
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be bad.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] Did the trap on the book only activate with a person? or with anythign that touched it?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Anything.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Abe opened it and det it off and then Ilero sent his magic hand to open it.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (set)
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] so only when it is opened does the trap activate?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It didn't destroy the hand but then it didn't sit there getting frozen
[Branwyn (Lisa)] yes
Joseph Shortkin (Master) thinking
[mharmon9] This gon be good
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I carried it home without killing myself
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (test)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Anyway, it was a thought.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] so if Ilero used the hand to open the book and someone throws the scrolls into the trap
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] it might work to freeze them
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] but it takes timing
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We could tie the scrolls together and attach something heavy like a rock to get it to land on the book.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] I don't know what happens if the scrolls do not freeze though
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] or if they do freeze I guess
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We couldn't unfreeze Abe so I don't think we would be able to unfreeze the scrolls.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] No one could do dispel magic on him?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] the danger is if it doesn't work and they fly open all at once.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] I mean I know you can't
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It supposedly didn't work. He was dead.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] he was old
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] I hope he had a good life
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Very dangerous book
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] do you know what is in the book?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh yes, spells.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But I have to return the book today so there isn't time to copy them properly
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] Powerful ones I guess?
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] (brb door)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have a list of what's in there upstairs. I don't remember. That was a busy day for me.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What with the demon mark and all.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] b
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] So maybe you can keep the book?
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs "Oh it must be returned today at some point.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is amazing that the librarian let it go for one day.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] Why did he?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But anyway, it was just a thought,
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] Maybe he has a cru.... shuts up glancing over at Branadarus
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I told you yesterday. He wants to come to the next seance.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] so we can keep it until then?>
Branwyn (Lisa) thinks to herself - he does not listen well does he?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No. I told you. You must listen Joseph.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] I am, I am trying to find a way to not try your plan until more of us are here to deal with things
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] maybe if Ilero or someone at least
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jennevive, has that priest returned who had done the investigation on the former ambassador?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Oh we can handle anything that happens I am sure
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I do not know, today is the first day they might be back, they were expected at the end of the month
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Joseph, the librarian wants his book back. He will never lend me another if I do not return it on time as he asks.
Joseph Shortkin (Master) nods, grunts
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can you check please?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] If they are back did you want me to bring them here?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Here or I can go there, Whichever is better.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Perhaps you could use your new crystal ball and see where Kenna is? maybe they are on the way home already?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] of course only if they gave up
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] but it is a possibility you have to admit
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If they aren't available I will run over to the Guild or possibly the Captain of the Guard.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] It will take me a while to get over to the Celestry and find out if they are here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If they have given up after only ... what has it been? 3 days? Then they are poor adventurers indeed.
Aunt Jennevive (Master) raises an eyebrow looking at Branwyn
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't expect them for a couple of weeks.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] very well
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] if this priest is in The City then I will bring them here to the residence for dinner tonight
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It would be as if I wandered into the courtyard, looked for a unicorn and then went back to bed.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They were going to Blumm Woods. They have most likely only entered the edge of such woods.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you.
Aunt Jennevive (Master) looking over at Joseph and Phillipe
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I would guess that is right
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] how far into the woods would a unicorn be?
[mharmon9] was going to mak,e a comment, but i probably shouldn't haha
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think it would be prancing down the main paths.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] If they exist
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] They could just be a magic trick by elves
[Branwyn (Lisa)] My thought is that they will need Shur to track and will follow clues deep into the forest lands.
[mharmon9] taking notes
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] there must be a reason that Seremella went
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh they exist. Almost everything exists if you look hard enough.
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] she never wants to do dangerous things
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps she thought the forest was safer then the morning meetings?
Branwyn (Lisa) smirks
Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master) snorts
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She was none to pleased with the red scrolls.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I cannot imagine that many are
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But in any event, if I have no plans until dinner then I shall head over to the Guild.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] present company excluded, nods to Branadarus
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I will go over the accounts for the end of the month report to the Queen
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I want to see if they have any magical item legends in their library.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We must make sure that when the group gets back from the unicorn adventure that they will be properly prepared to fight the undead in the tomb at Normandry or steal from Elves.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I really do not like the latter, but it is best to be informed.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I ah, well,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They will be quite pleased I think to go off on another quest when they had had a chance to get cleaned up at home and rest for a few days
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So is there anything you need of me or shall I be off?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I am happy
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's always nice to hear.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I shall be back before dinner. Joseph, do you want to come along?
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] I have my lessons
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] and then Andy
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh, Johan, can you please return the blue spell book to the Royal Library for me?
Johan the Apprentice (Master) blinks
[Johan the Apprentice (Master)] Yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Howard, do you wish to come along?
[Howard Plum (Master)] To deliver the book? or to the guild?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] To the Guild
[Howard Plum (Master)] No thank you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We can return the crystal ball.
[Howard Plum (Master)] but I will accompany Johan
[Howard Plum (Master)] It will be nice to see the Royal Library
[Branwyn (Lisa)] All right, wrap up the crystal ball and I shall return that myseld.
[Howard Plum (Master)] If you permit me
Howard Plum (Master) nods
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs "I don't think you will see much of it, but you are welcome to go."
Branwyn (Lisa) heads off to get her new wolfskin cloak and go to the guild
[Branwyn (Lisa)] fur
[Branwyn (Lisa)] whatever
Atribella Olivin (Master) presents a wrapped package
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you. The crystal ball?
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Yes
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] and I included a list of potential sites for wormwood essence
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] There were mentions of it in the books
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] perhaps it will be of use to the guild
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am not sure you want to come to dinner tonight Tiberius.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Why do you say that?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That was quite kind of you Atribella. You are so thoughtful.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh if Jennevive brings the Celestry priests and so forth.
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] The essence of any good deal is to have somethign the other side wants but does not know yet
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Does that mean you will ignore me?
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
Lord Branadarus (Master) bats his eyes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't think that is possible.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But we always have to watch our steps with them.
Lord Branadarus (Master) warm smile, bows his head
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I will aquiesse to what you wish
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jennevive will be nervous enoough as it is in case I mention the you know what.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Especially to the diagnostic priests!
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Do you have to?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Have to what? Mention the demons?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jennevive would probably cut my tongue out
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] She does seem to be adimate about not letting that bit of information out
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, she thinks they will lock me up, but I should like to see the attempt.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] We can break you out
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It's just ridiculous. But I must be off. I will talk to you soon.
Lord Branadarus (Master) kisses her hand
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] then SWOOOPS her up in a huge embrace and kiss
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] twirling her around then landing Branwyn back on the top step
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That's a very nice start to my day.
[Master] Branadarus goes down the street
[Master] Atribella stands there at the top step
[Master] smiling
Branwyn (Lisa) heads over to the Guild
Midguard the Magnificent (Master) opens the door,
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Welcome Branwyn
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning!
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] What brings you to the Guild House today?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Many things.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] My apprentice, Howard Plum borrowed a crystall ball and I wished to return it with my thanks.
Branwyn (Lisa) pockets Atribella's list for the moment
Midguard the Magnificent (Master) hmmm, Howard Plum?
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] hefts the bag
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] OH
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I have christened Useless with a proper name as he has earned it of late
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] not a new apprentice
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] yes I remember now that was the name he came with
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] good that he has learned a thing or two under you
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] shows you are a good teacher
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I will send more apprentices your way that I think need encouragement
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs "I am not so sure about that"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh please don't. Our house is quite full at the moment.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] (Michael, TMO and Mario are both on the way within the half hour)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But I do wish to see how extensive your information is on infamous magical items
TMO has joined the game on Fri Apr 08 20:26:14 EDT 2016
TMO is receiving the map Base Map...
TMO has received the map Base Map.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I image there is quite a bit
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Is there something in particular you are searching for?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so do you want to stop?)
[TMO] (I would say keep going until we're all here)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] (Mario is a half hour out or so, let's keep with teh guild and Michael and TMO can plot and plan in whispers back and forth)
[mharmon9] I actually have to leave in about 15 min.
[mharmon9] and hopefully i'll be back on later
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well, I have heard legend that the wand of Penelope the Wonderful, the court mage of Normandry is buried in an old greek tomb.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] (so plot quickly)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] That is an old legend
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Penelope was one of the Mages of Legend
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] do you think that really existis?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, but do the legends say where this tomb is and who guards it?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I heard rumours of powerful undead.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Oh I am certain you can find several texts that say where it is
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] each of them different
[TMO] (Marisu's weak plot is to hope she recognizes one of the buyers or who they represent and get them to buy the group on our behalf in return for reimbursement and favors)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm ... perhaps if I get some of these locations I can narrow it down.
[TMO] (Shurkural would rather kill some bugbears and get her sword back)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I suppose with the idea of an old greek tomb
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] that would mean that the location is no longer a greek enclave
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Most likely.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] how did you come to want to search for such an item?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The other item is most ridiculous. I have heard rumours about the Ring of Calamar.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] A ring that controls other's thoughts
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh, when a mage is also an ambassador, you have all sorts coming to you asking you to do them favors.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Really? I was told it was a ring that sorts truth from lies.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I have heard that it grants the wearer the ability to change someone's thoughts
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is very enlightening.
Branwyn (Lisa) grumbles "And not surprising"
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] of course when you are not there the person might very well change their mind again
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] who would want such a device?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I also heard that it is currently on the finger of a quite poerful Elven mage.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Aren't all elves powerful mages?
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] if you listen to the legends
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Who? Mages that wish to protect others from having too great a power and evil ones that wish to use that power.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh no. I know an Elven mage that knows almost no magic whatsoever.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Well I am certain you will teach them well
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] (teach your children well)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can Elves learn normal spells like the rest of us?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She has shown no interest in my library since she arrived.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Does she know how to read?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think magic is more of a dalliance than a vocation in her case.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm ... She must read Elevn at least.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Elven - jeez I cannot type)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I have heard that it just is in their bones
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] that they all know magic from birth
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] but if elves really live for so long, perhaps a daliance for them is a lifetime for us
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is true. I just remember how voraciously I study to learn new spells and I don't see that in any of my apprentices really.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Such is life.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Do you allow your apprentices to look at your spell books?
Midguard the Magnificent (Master) looks shocked
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They have access to my library and my books if they would like.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Perhaps they do not understand that?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh Howard has learned a new spell or two.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] If one of my apprentices opened a book without asking before hand they may very well lose a hand
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But see, if magic runs through you and there is a library with an unlocked door and permission to enter .... how could anyone stay away?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But it is their decisions and not mine.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] so you wish to look for dangerous magic items
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So where can I gather information on these two things.
[TMO] (so she can put that dangerous magic items in her library for overly curious apprentices to find)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Of course you can look through the library
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I do not know of anything to start with
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] but perhaps a biography of Penelope might be a start?
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] If such a thing exists
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (test)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] (yes you are back)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lost my typing)
[TMO] (A+!)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] (chuckles)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] :)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be useful.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't suppose there are encyclopedias of magical items?
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] There is a bookseller that I could recoemnd for you
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] who might be able to find such a volume for you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would like that please.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] if someone were to compile all the magical items known?
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] that would be a powerful tool, I doubt someone would share that
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] there is a small bookseller up on Dryads Hill
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] very old
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The 12 Leaves?
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] they have been in the city for many years,
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Of course you would have found it
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That did not look like a magic shop
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] oh I would not say magic
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] as much as research
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I doubt there is a magical tome there
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] but much can be learned from other sources
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So the Guild has nothing on Penelope or her legendary wand? Or the Elven Ring of Calamar?
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] perhaps we do
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] afterall I know of them
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] so I must have learned of them by reading here in teh library
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] but to point you to a particular tome? I am sorry I cannot
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You know I do have something that might be of interest to the guild.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I am always interested in our members bulding the power of the guild
[Branwyn (Lisa)] For someone that might wish to help me. My assistant gather a list of potential sites that have wormwood essence.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] that is very interesting,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was thinking of tracking some of this myself.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But then I thought it would be nice to bring to the Guild.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I am certain that when someone is attempting to enchant an item that will be very useful,
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I will mark that in the ledgers, that they will have to consult you for the resources
[mharmon9] alright guys i need to take off
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] (hope you get to come back Michael)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hope you can make it back!)
[mharmon9] seeya
[TMO] (cya)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Do you seek anything in particular?
Branwyn (Lisa) hands him the list
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I can mark that in the ledger as well
Midguard the Magnificent (Master) holds up his hands
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] no no no
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] that is yours
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I will send people to you as they need
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] you can negociate and bargain as you wish

Branwyn (Lisa) wishes people would stop sending her people

Spring has received the map Base Map.
[TMO] (you can start your own collection)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] (hey spring)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So can you direct me to a few possibilities or would it be more productive to visit the local bookshop?
[Spring] hi hi
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi Spring!)
[Spring] :-) hello
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I think if you seek a biography of a person the bookseller would be of help
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] but if you seek how to craft a wand we have that here
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] or if you simply spend time reading
[Branwyn (Lisa)] All right then. Thank you. I may be back when I have the entire day free.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] perhaps you will find some hints
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] I find that is how I learn most things
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] jump from tome to tome to track things
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is my problem at the moment. My schedule is quite full and not entirely my own.
[TMO] (hi Spring)
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] a spell to control time would be a great use I am certain
[Spring] hi!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I wish to learn a new spell and must carve time out next month.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Time spells are most specialized. I have never seen a mage who could do it.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Perhap
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was thinking more along the lines of summoning monsters to kill monsters coming to kill me.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Wouldn't that be nice?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Send in the ghouls to kill tthe hellhounds and so forth.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Hellhounds? Ghouls?
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] You do live an exciting life
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or whatever shows up that day.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] but you do have that Necromancer's Priestess living with you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She's harmless.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] For the most part.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Mostly?
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] grins
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is a woman of great control.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She is therefore predictable.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] (we live in a good age, able to watch Delta Rae perform a concert in Raleigh through Periscope)
[TMO] (back in a bit)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I lack a certain amount of control and so am somewhat more unpredictable.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Well control is admirable in a mage
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe I should try and get some.
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you again for your help. I must be off to my next destination.
[Midguard the Magnificent (Master)] Always good to have you visit the Guild
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so a good time to stop me - sorry it timed with tmo going afk)
[Master] and how are you Spring?
[Master] are you mostly caught up?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (mario shoud be in any minute, right?)
[Master] that was his plan
[Spring] if i knew how i were, i'd tell you.
[Master] grins
[Spring] weird, that's how i am
[Master] that is an excellent thing
[Master] @r_anstett: RT @DeltaRae: LIVE on #Periscope https://www.periscope.tv/w/adb52TF4TlFhQnBPR0JLYmR8MXlwS2RlUVprd3ZHVxWoMiWRy4V3aFqN_F-RZ46lHQ3g0i6WoCCxfDykEX81
[Spring] anyway, i didn't look at tonight's chat log, but i think the barbers plot hasn't moved since last week
[Master] just in case you want to watch along with the concert
[Spring] thanks :-)
[Master] and you are correct Spring
[Master] Barbers are still in the morning on the 28th
[Spring] i'm not feeling my best so i'm mostly gonna just slurp this root beer float
[Master] Branwyn is on the mid day on the 27th
[Master] I have never been into floats
[Master] it requires the ice cream to melt which I dislike
[Spring] :-)
[Spring] ice cream melts, which is sad
[Spring] a float makes the most of that
[Master] by the way that link works in a browser, no need for an app or account, or anything
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (brb)
[Master] Periscope was bought by Twitter last year
[Spring] sounds interesting
[Master] and they just got the rights to broadcast the Thursday night Football games this season
[Master] so they will be live streamed on twitter each Thursday night
[Master] full video, etc.
[Master] it will be interesting to see how that works out
[Master] and Spring as we wait for TMO and Lisa to return
[Master] did you have plots or plans for the group?
[Master] Michael was in and will attempt to return
Mario has joined the game on Fri Apr 08 21:11:18 EDT 2016
Mario is receiving the map Base Map...
Mario has received the map Base Map.
[Spring] the vaguest outlines anyway
[Spring] not so much a plot as a hope
[Master] earlier TMO offered up an idea from Marisu
[Master] but I will let him elaborate on that
[Spring] hi mario!
[Master] Hey Mario
[Mario] hello hello
[Master] up in the chat log Mario is a link to the concert I am watching live right now
[Master] the band is just about to start
[Mario] Wow Delta Rae! and Live! cool
[Master] and we are waiting for you and TMO
[Master] so Spring does not have to deal with the Bugbears by her self
[Spring] :-)
[Mario] Kenna has the mighty mallet
[Master] Lisa got through the night and half a day so is on the 27th now in The City
[Spring] thats out of reach
[Mario] seems to hold jersellf well enouigh
[Spring] hehehe
[Master] so out of character, ideas?
[Master] comments?
[Master] ideas on the Bugbear situation?
[Mario] um catching up pn lasy weeks session
[Master] comments on the stat of the game?
[Master] state
[Spring] i've got two spells that involve agitationg the vegetation to rebel
[Spring] i've got Entangle and one other, forgot the specifics
[Spring] problem is, i've used all myh 1st level spells to heal, i think
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (back)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi Mario! Long time no see)
[Mario] Hi! Hope your time off was great!
[Master] It is mornign Spring, you have full spells
[Mario] Hope the car is fixed
[Spring] plant growth also
[Spring] i thought i used my level 1s after morning had broken. i am not complaining though
[Spring] happy to be wrong
[Mario] yay
[Master] ahh yes you are right sorry
[Master] that was the last healing
[Master] but that is why everyone is topped up on HP at least
[Spring] except poor hugh
[Master] I did my car's recall also this week too,
[Spring] what was the booboo part?
[Master] did I mention that one? was recallled because multiple days of freezing temps can mess with the brakes
[Spring] er
[Lisa] (winter is coming?)
[Spring] well, i guess you COULD take it to a place that freezes
[Master] figure I should get it taken care of, have them check the tires, etc. will make two times in two years they looked at it,
[Spring] glad you got it fixed
[Master] and who knows, after the lease someone might take it north
[Master] Mario asked your car is fixed too right Lisa?
[Lisa] oh sorry - yes my recall is fixed too
[Mario] safetl first
[Lisa] heard some guy died in accident because he never did the airbag recall
[Spring] :-(
[Lisa] that was not good
[Master] and if Lisa has any input on surviving and continuing with the bugbears please add in
[Master] and no that sucks
[Lisa] I wish Mike's character was here
[Lisa] no communication is bad
[Mario] so 32 bugbear vs a smal party, wounded and tied up
[Lisa] no charm spells?
[Spring] and mostly weaponless
[Spring] charm animal. not very helpful here
[TMO] (back - sorry about that)
[Spring] some people have daggers. kenna's got a blunt knife used for digging up roots
[Lisa] (how much cash did you bring? can you buy your way out?
[Lisa] gems?
[Spring] i don't know if we have any in the party pack
[Lisa] they're just going to sell you
[Mario] well if we decide to escape, we do not necessarily have to kil them all, just enough to get our gear and go
[Lisa] can't remember if you got stuff from ogre
[Master] remember the only gear that they took was the weapons you dropped
[Mario] we did find some loot in the wall of the ogre lair, not sure its worth, to the bugbears
[Master] the spell books were hidden and the wagon was left behind
[Master] well spell scrolls
[Mario] ahhh...
[TMO] We're going to want those back if at all possible. ;)
[Lisa] is there a map?
[Lisa] Like ... if you were at somewhat the edge of the woods, might they take you to feybark strand to sell you?
[Lisa] They can't sell you in the woods
[Lisa] They must want to take you somewhere close and with people who would buy slaves
[Spring] i am sincerely hoping we have to pass through some woods
[Lisa] I meant an overview map
[Mario] i would imagine this lair is in the clearing of a wood, no?
[Spring] that's the imression i got
[Master] yes
[TMO] aye
[Lisa] Closest place would be Febark Strand and the pirates
[Lisa] You know Northam wouldn't buy slaves
[Mario] so any direction would be thorugh wood
[Mario] maybe to a unicorn slave dealer? woouldnt that be tidy??
[Master] LOL
[Lisa] Maybe wait and let them take you out? They want you in one piece and would all 32 take you or would the numbers dwindle to maybe a dozen?
[TMO] that would be super convenient
[Lisa] lol to mario
[Spring] LOL
[Mario] i say we'd have a better chance on the move, than in the lair
[Mario] there were only eight when they caught us
[Mario] we were so wounded, thats all
[Master] chuckles, Kenna had more hit points then eveyrone else combined
[TMO] getting free will be a trick
[Mario] i say wait til we move, and find a time to cut loose and damage as manay as psoosible
[Spring] concur
[Mario] depending on how they bind us, Anton has a dagger; so ddos Hugh, a few i believe. We all have our smaller weapons
[Spring] i forgot, what did they do with our big weapons?
[Master] they have them in a bag
[Mario] one fights or puts up a good scare, and the others free whose left
[Master] you do not know where that bag went
[Mario] maybe a well placed spell to distract
[Spring] maybe they'll bring them along to try to sell
[Spring] if we're lucky
[Spring] we're not lucky are we?
[Master] the pick, shur's sword and bow
[Spring] not kenna's hammer?
[Master] yes
[Spring] okay
[Master] and ready to pick up with the Barbers?
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] ready as possible
[TMO] summon your god to save us Kenna!
[Master] Bugbear #38 moved 74'09".
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] YOU

Marisu (TMO)] None of us have lice!
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] true! no lice
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] see for yourself
Bugbear #6 (Master) TUGS on SHur's hair and hacks it off with a dagger
[Anton (Mario)] um, mr Bugbear, my hair was just color treated, so...
[Bugbear #6 (Master)] TUGS on Anton's hair and hacks it off
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] my hair is cursed!
[Shurkural]] (TMO) glares at the bugbear.
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] your arms will fall off!
[Bugbear #6 (Master)] TUGS on Kenna's hair and hacks it off
[Anton (Mario)] wtf!
[Bugbear #6 (Master)] TUGS on Hugh's hair and hacks it off
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] enjoy your armless future
[Marisu]] (TMO) tries to keep her head away from the bugbear.
[Bugbear #6 (Master)] YANKS on Marisu's bindings
[Bugbear #6 (Master)] HACKS her hair off
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] Good
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] Now
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] you will behave
[Marisu]] (TMO) screams at them.
Bugbear #38 (Master) points at Marisu
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] SHUT UP
[Anton (Mario)] Miss Marisu, it will grow back, you are still as bueatiful as ever
Marisu (TMO)] (I have to keep reminding myself she's only 16. ;) )
[Anton (Mario)] We will avenge our follicles
Kenna Westfoot (Spring) fumes
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] You can behave and show you are worth something
[Anton (Mario)] (excellent!)
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] Or we can leave you here for food
[Marisu]] (TMO) cries quietly.
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] the wolf riders will like the extra meat
[Marisu]] (TMO) nods.
[Anton (Mario)] (do we have a preference as to where we should be sold?)
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] (are you asking that?)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (ha!)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (although, if we know where they could get a better price, we could use that)
[Anton (Mario)] (should we try to comvince him that pirates pay better for our kind, for example)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (like gossip among ourselves about it, manipulatel them)
[Lisa] (can they understand any of that?)
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] (Points to Lisa, anyone want to make an intuation check?)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (like "i bet they don't sell us to the pirates. they would get triple the price if they did ")
[Anton (Mario)] big words do confuse them
[Anton (Mario)] (yes Spring!!)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (well okay a simple word translation of same)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (who's doing the intuiton check?)
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] (anyone can)
Marisu (TMO)] (we don't want to go to pirates)
[Anton (Mario)] ("Pirates love the feistiness of the women, eyc")
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] Kenna Westfoot: INU check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] (Kenna realizes that this one, #38, is the first one to actually speak common, the rest were parroting lines they learned this one is yelling out commands in both bugbear and common so you understand what he is saying)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (oho)
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] (Kenna knows that, how will she communicate that to the rest?)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (so, this bugbear here is fluent in common. the other ones are not)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (whispering)
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] ???
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] Try
Kenna Westfoot (Spring) whispering so this bugbear here ...
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] EHY
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] STOP
Bugbear #38 (Master) gestures at Kenna
Kenna Westfoot (Spring) shrugs
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] Points to a bugbear and then at Kenna
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] Check her
Bugbear #38 (Master) scowls at Kenna
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] no whispering
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] you say what you say
Bugbear #38 (Master) glares at the group
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oh. sorry
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] You behave
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] you are good
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] you get sold clean and healthy
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] you not?
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] you sold damaged
[Marisu]] (TMO) sniffs. "I don't suppose we can pay you to just let us go?"
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] make more money with clean
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] sir, could we buy ourselves? it would save us all a trip
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] You have money?
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] Yells at the other bugbears
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] SEarch them
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] take their money
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] take their gems
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] not with us, no
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] take thier coins
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] (several run forward and go through pockets,
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] tugging and pulling
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] turning out things
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] finding a lute string in Marisu's pocket
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] please don't damage us. we want a good price
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] finding Kenna's holy symbol and pulling it out and off of her
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] putting them all in a pile in front of the leaders feet
Marisu (TMO)] No, our boss will pay for our return.
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] who is your boss?
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] how much?
Marisu (TMO)] Marquessa Branwyn the Mysterious.
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] Who?
[Anton (Mario)] (lol)
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] maya maya bran what?
Marisu (TMO)] She is a mighty wizard, and she will not be happy if we're harmed.
Bugbear #38 (Master) shrugs
Marisu (TMO)] But if we're treated well, she'll pay well.
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] rich. powerful.
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] I am not afraid of wizards
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] witches are dangerous
Marisu (TMO) (to GM only)] [Marisu]]: Bribery check: (d20) [1d20=17] 17 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
Marisu (TMO) (to GM only)] [Marisu]]: Fast Talking check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 14!!
[Anton (Mario)] (who can imoersonate a witch??)
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] wizards are books and magic
Marisu (TMO) (to GM only)] [Marisu]]: Intimidation (Cha) check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!
Marisu (TMO) (to GM only)] [Marisu]]: Persuasion check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 18!!
Marisu (TMO)] (a bunch of rolls for you. ;) )
[Anton (Mario)] (my fibbing days are OVER!)
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] Marisu goes through a quick explination of who Branwyn is, why she will pay top coin for you and attempts to imply that she has hidden gems to pay for everyone)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] brb
Bugbear #38 (Master) scowls at Marisu
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] Maybe this Branwyn is a witch maybe she is not
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] but I will give you a bit of paper to write down a message to pass along
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] when we get to the coast you can see if someone will take it for you
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] but not till then
Bugbear #38 (Master) scowls at Marisu seems uncomfortable now
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] and stalks off
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] well, we get to talk anyway
[Bugbear #38 (Master)] weighing the pouch with Kenna's holy symbol and the other misc things in his hand
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] sorry about our things
[Marisu]] (TMO) droops to one side in relief.
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] really, really sorry about our hair
[Shurkural]] (TMO) sneers. "We can cut theirs later if they don't treat us right."
Shurkural (TMO)] At the neck.
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] apparently they already know they can get the best price with the pirates
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] since we are going to the shore
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] apparently they don't know i'm worth a lot less without my holy symbol
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the smart slaver can get more for a priestess
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] one that looks like a priestess
[Anton (Mario)] Lets convince them otherwise
[Anton (Mario)] does anyone have Diplomacy?!?! lolol
Shurkural (TMO)] (Marisu did a bunch of rolls)
Shurkural (TMO)] (bribery, intimidation, persuasion and fast talking)
[Anton (Mario)] maybe persuade kenna to get her holy symbol back?
[Anton (Mario)] persuade the bigbears to give it back to kenna, i mean
Shurkural (TMO)] (I'm trying to come up with a way to get them to do that, but not coming up with one yet)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (too bad none of them's sick)
Shurkural (TMO)] (she can try to work on them some more as she gets the chance)
[Master] this is your chance to talk while he is gone
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] so, that one, the chatty one
Shurkural (TMO)] Alright, so they'll let us send a message at the coast. But how long will buy us?
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] he is the only one speaking real true common, did you notice?
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] everyone else is parroting phrases
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] he is giving all his orders in both bugbear and common, obviously so that we understand
[Marisu]] (TMO) sniffs. "Oh, you're right. I hadn't noticed."
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] so we have to be sure that he does whatever overhearing there is to do
Marisu (TMO)] (is he easy to recognize from the others)
[Master] He had better armor on with a mace and a large bag at his waist
Marisu (TMO)] It might be hard picking him out from the other ones.
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (a large bag, you say)
Marisu (TMO)] Is your symbol replaceable?
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] it is, but there will be things i cannot do without it
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] until i can get a replacement
[Marisu]] (TMO) nods. "Same with me and my scrolls."
Kenna Westfoot (Spring) nodes
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] *nods
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] my head is cold
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] i have never been hairless
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] i do not like it
[Marisu]] (TMO) sniffs and tears well up in her eyes.
[Master] Everyone has their hair cut, but they did not take Sere's holy symbol
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (it's because kenna spoke. and we don't know if Sere is here do we?)
[Anton (Mario)] Our Hiar is not important. We must keep our spirit, and know, just know, that as long as we stay together, we will be ok
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] you are right Anton, but i get to mourn for a minute first
[Anton (Mario)] Fair enough, then Let it go...
[Marisu]] (TMO) tries to do a small cantrip, just to see if she can.
Kenna Westfoot (Spring) squares her shoulders, back straight, deep breath
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] right
[Master] Cantrip as a proficiency still works for Marisu
Marisu (TMO)] (so she can still do minor magical effects???? O_O I have ideas!!!)
Marisu (TMO)] (even when tied up?)
[Master] grins
[Lisa] (Book 4 p. 185 of pdf)
[Master] minor things work
[Lisa] (depends on what you want to do on gesturing)
[Master] some need gestures, some need concentration, but you have soem power
[Lisa] (you can cause gnat cloud with a simple buzz :) )
[Master] and thank you Lisa, she is the official Dragonslayer Mage Librarian now
[Master] she knows more Mage Spells than anyone else I bet
[Lisa] (just the end of the alphabet)
[Marisu]] (TMO) sniffles, then looks down to hide a small smile.
[Lisa] you can untie simple knots with a cantrip
Marisu (TMO)] (I was thinking a grease-like spell to make her wrists slippery)
[Lisa] you can make sounds come from other areas
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] i have just remembered that i have a spell to create a new holy symbol
[Lisa] like haunting kinds of stuff, animals you know, etc.
[Master] Yes you do Spring
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] that is rather nice
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] the next spell i would want to cast does not require one so i can wait probably
[Master] and yes to TMO, I would say you can do such a thing with rubbing your wrists, a simple slippery sort of thing
[Master] just let me know when you want to do that
[Marisu]] (TMO) makes herself confortable and settles down to think.
[Lisa] I thought she was going to grow her hair back :)
[Master] chuckles
Marisu (TMO)] (heheh - just give her time)
[Anton (Mario)] lol
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] heh
[Master] brb restroom
[Marisu]] (TMO) looks around to see if anyone is listening. "I.. I think I might be able to get loose. But I'm not sure it would do any good."
Marisu (TMO)] (did #38 take all our stuff, or just leave it in a pile on the ground?
[Master] b
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (took it)
[Master] you do not know
[Master] he did take a small pouch with Kenna's holy symbole Marisu's extra strings
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (he had it in a sack he was holding, the liottle sack)
[Master] but your other stuff was in a sack
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (we don't know about the big sack)
[Master] Spring thinks it was the sack that he had on him
[Master] but there is nothing saying it was or it was not
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (heh i would say a suspicion more than a certainty)
[Master] it is speculatoin
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (hee!)
Marisu (TMO)] (Shur's sword would be obvious probably)
[Anton (Mario)] How high is the lair wall? and what is it made of?
[Master] wood and about 20 foot tall
[Anton (Mario)] ugh thanks
[Master] it is a palisade made of rough hewn trunks
[Anton (Mario)] go go google dictionary!
[Master] chuckles
[Anton (Mario)] got it!
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] hehehe
Marisu (TMO)] If I can get us free though, I don't think we can get away from here.
Marisu (TMO)] Not inside the camp. What do you think?
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] no it looks like we have to wait until transport
Shurkural (TMO)] What if we get our weapons back?
[Anton (Mario)] i dont think we can, not safely or together
Kenna Westfoot (Spring) quitely but NOT whispering
[Anton (Mario)] i think our best bet is when there is a smaller group with us
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] once we get into vegetation, i can get the plants to grow all over them. probably us too
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] but a fighting chance anyway
Marisu (TMO)] Without your symbol?
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] yes it does not require symbol
Marisu (TMO)] So that would be our distraction. And I can try to release our bonds in the confusion.
Marisu (TMO)] Then what?
[Anton (Mario)] can we sneak back in, with a diversion, to get our weapons back? i saw a movie once where they put a paralyzed guy on Andre the Guants's shoulders...
[Shurkural]] (TMO) snorts. "We kick ass, of course."
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (hehehehe)
[Anton (Mario)] Im all for giving these..things... what they deserve
Shurkural (TMO)] (what's a movie? :P)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (and who is andre, and why were you watching a giant?)
[Anton (Mario)] (hey now, some things ARE personal...)
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] (hehehe)
[Anton (Mario)] (i just got TMO's reply...Nice!!)
Marisu (TMO)] We can ask them to bring our gear along, because Branwyn will pay more for its return also.
[Master] so partially into the morning here on the 28th with the Barbers
[Master] back to two days ago on the 26th
[Master] Ilero in The City had breakfast with Branwyn
Marisu (TMO)] (watching a music video showing clips from 2012 - and all the disaster scenes while they're driving in the limo. Very convenient for them that everything is falling in slow motion. Makes it possible to dodge everything)
[Master] then headed north with Elle to the Sound
Marisu (TMO)] (yes)
[Master] Did you want to do anything in particular with that TMO?
[Master] traveling by boat up river right?
[Master] to arrive there on the 27th?
Marisu (TMO)] (nothing special has come to mind - he will probably ask around to see if piracy is liable to be a problem)
[Master] OK so Ilero and Elle are at Feybark Sound on the evening of teh 27th then
[Master] to keep things tidy
Marisu (TMO)] (tidy is good!)
[Master] Branwyn is off to a bookstore on the afternoon of the 27th
[Master] Ilero and Elle are on a boat
Marisu (TMO)] (Ilero has studied the map book so he's got an idea of the area)
[Master] Anton, Kenna, et al are blissfully heading north into a gully with ants
[Anton (Mario)] (gonna walk Coal brb)
[Master] confident in their abilities
[Master] coal is his dog not my sister
Marisu (TMO)] (those fools)
[Master] and Lisa ready to switch to Branwyn?
[Master] and the bookstore?
[Lisa] me?
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Can I help you?
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Oh Ambassador, how are you today?
[Lisa] Mr. Snevile?
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] I am glad you returned so quickly, what can I do for you today?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope your feast day went well.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] It did, Master Ilero was most entertaining
Marisu (TMO)] (did he *meet* Ilero?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Was he?
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] I thought it was a clever twist with his basket
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Not too extravagant
Marisu (TMO)] (now I'm trying to remember what he brought. ;) )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It was my fault for giving him such short notice. But I am glad he made a good impression with you.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (muffins?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (1 book for 12 people?)
Marisu (TMO)] (and griffin feathers)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was looking for a book about Penelope the Wonderful.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She was the court mage of Normandry.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Hmmm
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Mages' Guild thought you might have a biography.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Fiction?
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Not really our style here
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Non-Fiction
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] isn't all biography fiction?
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] a chance to tell the story of someone the way you want to
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would say autobiography is usually fiction
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Biography? Depends on the author
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] I think that a clear setting of the facts, in a book of records, rather than biography suits learning about the real person better
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] so you want to know about Penelope the Wonderful
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well short of going there, no one in this city seems to have a clear set of records
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] a mage from Normandry
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would like to know where she was buried
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or where the Greek underground temples were
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Normandry is hundreds of miles away, I would suspect you will find more about her there
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] but
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] oh
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Greek you say
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] hmmmmm
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] A greek magic user
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] We should check to see when Normandry turn from Greek to Kayugan,
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] do you have any idea?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Apparently. This is why a biography might be useful.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Not off the top of my head.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Well is has to be after 825 as that is the date of the First Kayugan Crusade
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would do much better on questions of Drillian's history. My knowledge of Terrguard is only beginning to grow
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] so we have already narrowed it down to the last 400 years or so
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Normandry would have been turned from Greek to Kayugan during that time
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The last 400 years seems to have been terribly busy for Terraguard
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] so if Penelope was Greek she lived before then
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't know if she was Greek.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do you have to be Greek to bury yourself in an old underground temple?
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] The Kayugan church has fought three or four crusades in the last couple of hundred years
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe she did that so she wouldn't be disturbed?
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] remember that in 789 the Greeks burned Dryads Lair to the ground
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] we were established in the ruins of the city back then
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] almost a full 600 years my ancestors have worked this shop
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] (sorry 500)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] This shop has survived 600 years? Remarkable.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] The city was burned to the ground
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (500 then)
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] everything has been rebuilt in the time from then
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] and so of course the Kayugan Crusades against the Greeks after that
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] would make a mess of where you are seeking
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm that's why Ilporn was so excited about the seance...
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] a Seance?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Sorry I was just talking to myself.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] You mentioned Drillian
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] of course as you are the AMbassador
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But if this Penelope was a court mage for a decent period of time, then there might be some mention of her in histories
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] do you know much of Rivers Bend?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Enough.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] in 789 when the Greeks burned the city, that is when many influential famlies fled south
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] to found Rivers Bend
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] if she lived earlier than that perhaps someone there might have a book or two brought from The City
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] I mention this, because, (coughs) you seem to have connections
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't have time to go to Rivers Bend. I have antsy adevnturers who detest the city and only want to go on quests.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So I have to make sure that when they return I have another I can send them out on
[Branwyn (Lisa)] A tomb guarded by the undead in an undergound temple.
Mr. Snevile (Master) raised eyebrow,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Simply delicious.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] they will be thrilled.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] That sounds like you want to go on such a quest
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Of course, but I am in chains by this position.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am a prisoner and they fly freely having grand adventures
Marisu (TMO)] (Ilero could play at being ambassador while you adventure, right? 0:) )
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Perhaps you would do well to visit other Kingdoms?
Marisu (TMO)] (can't you just see him as an ambassador?)
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] We are always in search of new materials for our ..... special clients..... and you are in a good posistion to go to new places
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That round of feasts and banquets begins next month in Joyclin.
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] :-)
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] well then, in two days you will go visit and
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sure Ilero would be second in command)
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] if you let me know I can tell you if there are ..... familiar places.... you could visit
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (but then you would be doing what I am doing right now)
Marisu (TMO)] (no, probably not. ;) )
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That would be most helpful.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] (getting cursed and exploring new books, grins)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So your final word is that you have no history that could help me?
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] OH no
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] I just do not know of one off the top of my head
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] it would be in the basement
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] I will check and send it around to your residence if I find one
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] you will want to try to get to the far east and Wolfspack
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Lovely. Thank you very much.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] they have extensive libraries
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] and have never been defeated
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] Their city hosts the worlds great library
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] or one of them
[Branwyn (Lisa)] They welcome visitors?
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] but of course that is months travel by ship to the east
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] I ahve heard they do
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] they are up close to the Great Mountains
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] and the Great Trade Route
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] and the Silk road
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] and the Spice Road
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] a wonderous city I have hard
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] heard
[Branwyn (Lisa)] IT sounds like it. But alas I am chained to the city for the time being.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do not rush yourself on the book. I don't expect my friends to return for a few weeks.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] I will do my best
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I do appreciate your help.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] We who understand the way of knowledge must assist each other
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] will you be adding to the network?
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "I agree completely. I will have to see. Moving this distance has made things a bit difficult. And I was not expecting to see anyone this far from home."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There is much I need to learn apparently.
[Mr. Snevile (Master)] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Crusade
[Master] and so Branwyn returns to the Residence?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (yes - she has now walked all over the place)
[Master] so we have Spring and TMO?
[Master] Mario has not returned yet?
[Kenna Westfoot (Spring)] oi
Marisu (TMO)] (yes, although I'll need to put the kids to bed in a bit)
