[Master] good evening sir

Eric has received the map Tower 3.

BiBo!!! has joined the game on Fri Apr 26 19:05:32 EDT 2013

BiBo!!! is receiving the map Tower 3...

[Eric] hello

BiBo!!! has received the map Tower 3.

[Master] welcome to the dragonslayers

[Master] and hey there Marco

[Eric] So how many players usually come each week?

[BiBo!!!] I am back at the keyboard.

[BiBo!!!] yo

[Master] it varies

[BiBo!!!] loadup seems exceptionally slow today

[Master] there are new maps

[Master] that you have not seen yet Marco

[BiBo!!!] ah

[Master] I stopped adding them when I saw it was slowing things down

[Master] and for number of players it varies, always at least two or three

[Master] sometimes five or six

[Master] six is our high mark on a regular game lately

[Eric] nice

[Master] This is Marco, he has been gaming with me for half his life, wry grin

[Eric] Hi Marco. I'm the FNG

[Master] actually is that right Marco?

[Master] I was just making a comment but hmmm

[Master] looking at the list now

[Master] 1998 to now is 15 years

[Master] how old are you now?

[Eric] wow that's awesome.

[Eric] all in the same campaign worlld?

[Master] Marco came to our group way back when, his mother used to drop him off

[Master] bring us food

[Master] was great

[Eric] lol

[Master] and yeah the same camapaign world

[Master] there was a break in character continuity back in 2010

[Eric] was that the phoenix era or soemthing like that?

[Master] the group was all higher level then they restarted at 1st

[Master] yes that is right

[Eric] cool

[Master] so the past 3 years or so have been just in a different part of the world

[Master] now the characters are starting to hit that higher plateau of adventures again

[Master] tonight will be a little different

[Master] they are starting with the group up on a lookout point

[Master] and for them to get there they need Branwyn (played by Lisa) to be in

[Master] and she will be late

[Master] so we will taek teh time to work on other issues, answer questions etc

[Eric] sounds good. What's your plan with me? Am I just a fly on the wall tonight?

[Eric] Not a problem if so

[Master] tonight yes,

[Eric] cool

[Master] to watch and and questions and learn

[Eric] sounds good

[Master] then we can start putting together an NPC for you to play for later on

[Master] the group is almost done with the current story arc

[Eric] Will that NPC eventually be my final character?

[Master] if you want it to be yes

[Eric] Ok

[Master] that is what Bill did, he ended up liking his NPC and kept on

[Master] while TMO created a new character and the same with Devin

[Eric] Sounds good. I enjoy playing clerics so I may switch to get one. Plus it sounds like the group could use one?

[Master] after this story arc we are going to be bringing in a whole raft of new characters

[Master] Guy is playing a new Mercenary fighter

[Eric] Perfect

[Master] Devin will have his new Elf coming in

[Master] Fritz will have his new character start

[Master] a new bard Marco, fritz is having fun with Heckat right now

[Master] so three new PC

[Master] PC's joining makes it easy to work in your new NPC

[Eric] do new characters start at lvl 1? Or are they leveled to match the group

[Master] level to be compartible with the group but zero XP

[Master] to start off

[Master] then you earn your way up

[Eric] Ok i read that on your site

[Master] so the Kayugan church

[Master] the Western World has three great religions

[Master] well four if you count the Island Kingdoms but they are out of the scope of most of this

[Master] there is the Norse in the southeast portion of Terraguard, there is the Greek in the north part of Terraguard and then the Kayugan in the west part of Terraguard

[Master] Norse Vikings here are more smaller long ships that do well on rivers and riding horses as raiders

[Master] Greeks are the pervasive take over everything sort of culture

[Master] and the Kayugan is the more conservative this is how you should live your life sort of culture

Fritz is receiving the map Tower 3...

[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Crusade

[Eric] how close do the game world civilizations match the real world? I.E. is greek society similiarto that of the real greeks?

[Master] yes fairly similar

[Master] with changes based on proximity to the other cultures or climate

[Master] Hello Fritz

[Heckat (Fritz)] Howdy bro...

[Master] Greeks are ok with Slavery

[Heckat (Fritz)] After our talk today I have alot of confusion

[Master] Norse not so much but there is the tradition of battle captives being used

[BiBo!!!] yo

[Master] and that is what we will try to fix for you Fritz

[Heckat (Fritz)] Yo Bibo

[Master] so Fritz, this is Eric,

[Heckat (Fritz)] Hiya Eric

[Master] Fritiz is in Florida, Eric is i Michigan and Marco is in Japan

[Heckat (Fritz)] I have been with Bob since 1994

[Eric] Kayugan sounds good for me. Are they European in equipment and culture. Like I mentioned per the "real world" they are an indonesian culture which isn't really my gaming style. For example are they very savage in weaponry and armor?

[Eric] wow Japan!

[Eric] Whtat time is it there for you?

[Heckat (Fritz)] I live on the west cost of florida

[Heckat (Fritz)] Bob on the east

[Master] they are not savage as in low tech but yes savage as in you will believe! or die

[Heckat (Fritz)] Bibo is a former floridian turned Japaneesa

[Master] bahamian

[Eric] must me nice. It snowed two days ago

[Heckat (Fritz)] Same thing

[Master] he grew up in the Bahamas and Italy

[BiBo!!!] its about 8:30 am here

[Master] then came to Florida

[Master] now to Japan

[Heckat (Fritz)] Bahama's are a suburb of Miami beach

[Master] and Marco how old are you?

[Master] lol

[BiBo!!!] 30

[Master] wow

[Master] so it is half

[Master] that is crazy

[Eric] well good morning then

[Master] so to the Kayugan church

[Heckat (Fritz)] Snow is illegal in south florida

[BiBo!!!] its also saturday here. so hello from the future

[Master] they have concentrated on Terraguard

[Master] as that is the largest Kingdom with many million of people to convert

[BiBo!!!] I am pretty sure I voted on the anti snow amendment

[Heckat (Fritz)] That is why when the world is going to end, I am going to move to Japan so I will always be a day after the end of the world

[Eric] lol

[BiBo!!!] trying to ratify one here in japan, but gaijin have little power over government affairs here

new guy has received the map Tower 3.

[Master] only 300 years ago Kayugan was the official state religion in Drillian, here in the Small Kingdoms

[Master] and hello Bill

[new guy] hello

[Master] and Bill we are talking about the campaign world, new characters etc

[Master] and I want your input on what you think Andrip would be interested in for a story arc

[Master] what would get him to want to go chase after something and drag the rest of the group along?

[Heckat (Fritz)] brb

[Eric] hi Bill I'm Eric the newest new guy

Fritz has left the game on Fri Apr 26 19:30:25 EDT 2013

[BiBo!!!] money

[new guy] Hey Eric. Honestly, I don't think there is anything. Androp, at this point in time, likes the people he is with and is content to help them in their endeavors. He comes from a simple upbringing so just helping those he likes is good enough currently.

[Master] for Drillian and Religion Eric, Suomi was mostly prevelant in a loose way, then Kayugan moved in to expand with the blessing of the Kings, then the last king expelled them confiscated all the lands, now three hundred years later it is a mixture of the two with a handful of greek adventuring priests scattered about

[Master] no worries on that Bill

[Master] the next story arc is a mercenary mission

[Master] then I have a cult to have to break into

[Master] then a theatre for the gnome to deal with

Fritz has joined the game on Fri Apr 26 19:32:56 EDT 2013

Fritz is receiving the map Tower 3...

[new guy] If you think about it... he's helping them now with something he really has no interest in. Rescuing some bitch that threatened to cut his genitals off... but he's doing it, reluctantly, because it matters to the people he is with and that is good enough for now

[Master] nods

[Master] I was talking about that earlier also

[Master] that Branwyn and Indigo are the two oldest party members

[Master] then Ilero who was there for a year or two just before this Blood Trail Era started

[Master] and everyone else has been with the group for two or three weeks of game time

[Eric] oh wow so there's a lot of new people playing

[Master] new characters

[Eric] ah

[Master] Marco for example, his previous character died last week (in game time) but that was back in October

[BiBo!!!] yeah.... this adventure never ends

[Eric] bummer

[BiBo!!!] eh, that is not so bad

[Master] the group has been taking their time doing some good roleplaying and being very thourgh in your investigation of the Castle

[Master] lots to explore and people to talk to

[BiBo!!!] having your hand cut off because you were not at game and being unable to do anything for weeks and weeks is far worse

[Eric] lol. noted. Come to gaming sessions.

[Master] it was an unusal circumstance

[Master] normally people are one round behind

[Master] and are not affect

[Master] the last thing that happened to Esmerelda (Marco's character) was that she was arrested with two others

[Heckat (Fritz)] But Marco is special. We like to mess with him all the time

[Eric] brb gotta help get my boys out of the tub

[Master] Marco was not here the next week

[BiBo!!!] there was no arrest when I logged out :-P

[Master] rolls eyes

[BiBo!!!] there wasnt!

[Master] because you were resisting !

[BiBo!!!] there wasnt even a hint at one

[Master] well Sarengar was

[Master] the group was

[BiBo!!!] no I wasnt. we were in the inn deciding what to do next with a sleeping person

[BiBo!!!] the guards hadnt even shown up yet

[Master] but in any case

[BiBo!!!] I had no reason to even think they were coming after us

[Master] that is another reason Es gets the second story arc of the new era

[Master] I have an interesting theatre story line

[Master] puppet shows and everything

[Master] Fritz what questions did you have?

[Master] and as soon as TMO gets in we can get moving along on other things as well

[Master] Lisa will be a little late

[Master] and Devin very late if at all

[Heckat (Fritz)] You have nothing on the sight about bards. Should I go just by the skills and powers book?

[Master] Players Handbook

[Master] I will make a note to add in a good starting page or four

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ok so you use phb for the classes but skills and powers for the races?

[Master] no

[Master] no skills and powers

[Heckat (Fritz)] When do you use skills and powers

[Heckat (Fritz)] oh.

[Master] splitting stats

[Master] etc

[Master] we are not using the points

[Master] for the most part

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ok so skills and powers for stats and proficiencies but not races, classes or combat

[Eric] ok back

[Master] wry grin, some of the combat

[Master] everythign from SP is on the site

[Master] that we use

[Master] if you walk through the character creation

[Heckat (Fritz)] Dude .... C.O.N.F.U.S.I.N.G.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ok will figure it out

[Eric] lol

[Master] what did you want out of skills and powers ?

[Heckat (Fritz)] I thought you were using it so I made my elf out of it and the bard stuff

[Master] Oh like changing things about the race? no we don't do that at all

[Master] basic Elf as in PH

[Heckat (Fritz)] sword bonus, dagger bonus, bow bonus, etc

[Heckat (Fritz)] ok

[Master] those are bonues in the PH

[Master] sword and bow are

TMO has joined the game on Fri Apr 26 19:46:14 EDT 2013

TMO is receiving the map Tower 3...

[Heckat (Fritz)] Yea dagger is in the skills and powers

[Heckat (Fritz)] I took it instead of stealth

TMO has received the map Tower 3.

[Master] Hello TMO

[Master] so questions about anythign at all before we start?

[TMO] howdy howdy

[Master] with what is happening? plans? etc

[TMO] are we dead yet?

[Master] only a flesh wound

[BiBo!!!] anyways, I am not going to be around this session (not that it makes much difference). I am off to make my monthly journey to tokyo. hopefully this month doesnt result in another dismemberment.

[Master] I hope so too Marco

[BiBo!!!] laters peeps

[Master] and you will be back next week right?

[BiBo!!!] should be

[Master] Audience with the Queen is next week

[Master] they need to figure out how to get you into that if you will be here

[BiBo!!!] why?

[BiBo!!!] doesnt the whole group just go together?

[Master] you are here as a guest of Branwyn and Toybin

[Master] but you are a criminal

[Master] will be interesting

[BiBo!!!] I swear, I am burning down houses and looting to hell from now on

[Heckat (Fritz)] I always knew that about you Marco

[Master] lol

[BiBo!!!] if I am going to be called a criminal, I want to at least have commiited a crime

[Master] you stole from the Mayor's house!

[BiBo!!!] I totally purposely didnt steal

[Master] while he was at the Count's Castle

[BiBo!!!] nice shiney magic spear and I didnt touch it at all

[Master] you had the jar in your knapsack!

[BiBo!!!] its a fricken empty jar

[Master] chuckles

[BiBo!!!] I wasnt stealing, I was taking out the garbage

[Master] taken from the trap you sprung

[Eric] lol

[Master] but in any case

[BiBo!!!] I didnt spring it

[Eric] a helpful thief nice

[Master] no more Yakutsa encounters

[BiBo!!!] laters

BiBo!!! has left the game on Fri Apr 26 19:52:12 EDT 2013

[TMO] before we get too started, have to run back to grocery store. Feel free to rp these other fine fellows.

[Master] oh man

[TMO] especially the one with the extraordinarily noble name

[Eric] Master?

[Master] I think he meant you

[TMO] grocery store is two blocks away. I won't be but 10 minutes

[Eric] Well it's a fine name i agree

[TMO] my name is Eric too. Use Master TMO online.

[TMO] back in a couple

[Heckat (Fritz)] Where am I at the moment

[Master] you are in the room there with everyone

[Master] gathered there first thing in the morning to see what you can see

[Master] this is Branwyn's room

[Master] you are planningon going up to the lookout tower

[Master] have to refill on drinks brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Eric] so how long have you been playing?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Why am I planning on going back to the lookout tower?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Off and on since 1994

[Heckat (Fritz)] restarted again about 3 weeks ago

[Eric] nice

[Heckat (Fritz)] Been off for about 2 years

[Eric] get the bug to come back?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Wanted to try 4e and pathfinder

[Eric] how is pathfinder?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Really nice

[Heckat (Fritz)] Makes alot of sense. smooth.

[Eric] I've been playing 3.5e with some friends locally but they haven't been too reliable to get together and the DM has pretty much given up on gaming

[Eric] I was looking at it when I started looking into onine gaming

[Heckat (Fritz)] Pathfinder is an improved 3.5 with better rules than 2, but not as slow as 4

[Eric] ok interesting

[Heckat (Fritz)] Also playing some 5e as well

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Eric] i looked at the books and it seemed pretty close to 3.5

[Eric] I ddint' know there was a 5e. Is it in testing?

[Heckat (Fritz)] it is like 1 and 2 with improved rules of skills and powers without he clutter of 4e

[Heckat (Fritz)] yet the flexibility hopefully of 3.5

[Master] D&D Next is the current name

[Heckat (Fritz)] 5e is the REAL name

[Master] at GenCon this year should be a big final play test of stuff

[Master] grins

[Eric] lol i see. those boys at WoC sure know how to milk some cash from us gamers

[Heckat (Fritz)] probably not...expect it to be GenCon next year as final test

[Heckat (Fritz)] Bib time milking

[Heckat (Fritz)] big

[Master] I tend to spend my money on paying people for maps etc now

[Heckat (Fritz)] I am spewing powder right now

[Master] and the reaon you are in the lookout Fritz

[Master] is that branwyn told you all to come

[Master] to see the surprise

[Master] which she also already told you was that the Queen is coming today

[Master] that is the big mystery surprise guest

[Heckat (Fritz)] I am all a'tingle with excitement

[Master] Here is the basic Calendar Grid

[Master] http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.CalendarGrid

[Master] you can see that it is the mornign of the 5th right now

[Master] and the coronation takes place on the 15th

[Master] you need to find the princess and get her to the Royal Estates by then

[Master] so only a week left

[Master] and for Eric and Fritz who were not here,

[Master] when Bill had just joined the group Androp (Bill) and Ilero (TMO) actually found the kidnapped princess in the Vilmar Estates

[Master] they found her in an underground library

[TMO] back

[Master] when they talked to her she threatened to cut Androp's balls off if he did not leave her alone

[TMO] told you it wouldn't be long

[Master] very nice

[Master] so Ilero and ANdrop backed off

[Master] and THEN she was kidnapped by werewolves

[new guy] She threatened to cut them off if Androp didn't let the priest he was choking go

[Master] so everyone gave chace

[Master] chase

[Master] and yes to Bill

[new guy] Androp was choking the priest because he cast a spell on Ilero and Androp and Androp made his save.

[TMO] One of those days when you have to save someone in spite of themselves.

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Apr 26 20:08:29 EDT 2013

Lisa is receiving the map Tower 3...

[new guy] "Have to save someone" isn't exactly Androp's feeling in this regard

[TMO] And lo... a Wild Branwyn did appear upon the stage!

[Eric] brb getting more mead

[TMO] Our bosses say it's our duty

Lisa has received the map Tower 3.

[Master] and welcoem Lisa

[new guy] Ha.. Androp doesn't have any bosses...

[Master] grins,

[new guy] Just friends he likes... and thats good enough for his reluctant help in this "saving"

[Lisa] Hello all :)

[new guy] Hello

[Master] and so everyone is gathered in Branwyn's room

[Lisa] good thing she showed up then

[Master] you can go up to the main top level

[Master] or you can go all teh way to the lookout top

[Master] less room up there

[Master] but in either case

[Master] as you go up

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the view is the same though?)

[Master] yes

[TMO] where ever we have the best view

[Master] As you look out from the high points on the Castle you see the valley below is now unexpectantadly filled with hundreds of people already setting up camps. There are three separate camps seting up of soldiers. One has taken the main crossroads of the valley and set up camp there. One has stayed near the valley entrance on the road you came along on the way here through the hills. The third is situated along both sides of the river banks just beyond the Red Bridge. Each of the camps seems to be well organized with men putting up tents and setting out picket lines for horses. There are several wagons near each camp that are being unloaded. On the near side of the river there is a large camp setting up that looks to be the Royal Court. There are many riding horses but several carriages also pulled along side of the roadway. Large tents are being set up all with the Queen's house colors. The distance is too far to see individual people.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Where's my sptglass?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (spyglass)

[Master] you do not know

[Master] it is with the rest of your gear that the chamberlain has put away

[Heckat (Fritz)] Why are the horses picketing?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Were they mistreated?

[new guy] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the knights cut their health plan)

[Heckat (Fritz)] Administrative beuracracy...damn them

Androp Ilkep (new guy) shakes his head, "That is a lot of people. This is going to be quite the event"

[Master] questions about what you see?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Yes...What DON'T we see

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I wonder if the Count cleared out the gypsies or if they'll be making a fortune during this little visit.

[Eric] back

[Master] you do not see any movement in the Haunted Forest

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ooooh I want to go and hang out with them

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] I take it there isn't enough room in the castle for the Queen's entourage. I wonder how many she brought.

[Master] you know there is not engough room for all of them

[Master] she must be bringing a couple of ladies in waiting etc with her

[Master] but that is why the camp is set up for the rest of them

[Heckat (Fritz)] or men in waiting....RrrrRowr!!!

[Master] ideas? thought? questions? debate?

[TMO] Is going to get crowded.

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (Is it just our group up here at the look out?)

[Ilero (TMO)] Is going to get crowded, hye t'ink.

[Master] yes

[Master] everyone else but servants and guards are gone from the Castle now

[Heckat (Fritz)] Did you tell them what I found out Bob?

[Master] and they are all downstairs getting busy

[Master] I told the players but in character they do not know yet

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ok I tell them in character.

[Heckat (Fritz)] The levels are different in the towers and I bet the princess is hidden on level 6 of the small round tower on the left

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well then we should probably go explore it. Everyone here will have their hands full and we might just get a little room to breathe.

[Master (to Lisa only)] you know that is Toybin's room

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Master only)] thanks - now you tell me

[Heckat (Fritz)] I think I have the kety...but the area is right next to a guard room

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You do mean above Toybin's room or below it?

[Master (to Lisa only)] there is the level above that with the guards as well

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] Can't we just tell the Queen that the bit-... er woman... is being held here or do we need to see her first?

[Master (to Lisa only)] branwyn, toybin, guards in order going up

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Master only)] why isn't toybin speaking up?

[Ilero (TMO)] Is good idea. Try now while confusion is hot.

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Master only)] hey! that's my room!

[Master (to Lisa only)] letting you all talk it out first

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to Master only)] like I know jack about anything on the freaking maps!

[Master (to Lisa only)] LOL

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Show us where you mean and we'll take a look. We'll follow you.

[Master (to Eric only)] and this is how you whisper by the way with the forward slash and the person (not character) name

[Heckat (Fritz)] I don't know where tobyn's rooom is. But if you take the walkway over from the fat round twer on the right to the skilly round tower on the left you can see...

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ok follow me

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] my rooms are the one's above here

[Heckat (Fritz)] I lead them to the level 5 on the fat right tower

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] then above me is the guard's chamber and the walkway over

Androp Ilkep (new guy) shrugs and moves to follow, his expression indifferent

Fritz is receiving the map Tower 5...

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ok. First this tower used to have 6 levels., It only has 5 now.

[Heckat (Fritz)] when we cross this walkway the tower we are going to was originally created with only 5 levels. It now has a 6th level

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Spells - CHANGED: Continual Light - Wizard -- # Memorized: 1 (+0), CHANGED: Detect Secret Passages and Portals -- # Memorized: 1 (+1), CHANGED: Polymorph Other -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Polymorph Self -- # Memorized: 0 (1), CHANGED: Sleep -- # Memorized: 1 (0),

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 7'09".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 30'04".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 49'03".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Follow me

[Eric (to Master only)] like this

[Ilero (TMO)] (as usual, when somebody besides a woman is talking, the woman tunes out. ;) )

[Eric] lol

[Heckat (Fritz)] Did you say something Ilero... I wasn't listening

[Toybin of Castling (Master) (to Eric only)] yes

[Heckat (Fritz)] Tuned out for a bit...Sorry

[Heckat (Fritz)] Going to refil my never ending flagon of ale

[Heckat (Fritz)] brb

[Fritz] I am away from the keyboard.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Toybin points around

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] looking out at the banners flying

[Ilero (TMO)] (... if it's never-ending, why does it have to be refilled??)

[Eric] /

[Fritz] I am back at the keyboard.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Yea I asked the mage the same thing that I bought it from...

[Eric (to Master only)] I take it you change your name when you are taking control of NPC's? And Toybin is a NPC around here?

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Toybin of Castling (Master) (to Eric only)] yes

[Heckat (Fritz)] He said it was "Never-ending" that I would have to refill the Flagon of ale

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Which is different from a Never empty flagon of ale

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

Ilero (TMO) looks around for clues what Heckat's talking about.

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=18] 18 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] there is not a space for more rooms there that I can tell Heckat

[Heckat (Fritz)] Yea well if you look at the "old Map" we have of this keep you will see that this level 5 was not the topmost level...there was a level 6 above us

[Heckat (Fritz)] whips out her copy of the old maps and points out the obvious

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But it's not here now?

Heckat (Fritz) slaps forehead

[Heckat (Fritz)] Yea that is what I have been saying

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do I look like a cartographer?

[Toybin of Castling (Master) (to Eric only)] they had an old set of blueprints for the castle they are using as they investigate, but they are 200 years out of date

[Heckat (Fritz)] Is that a yoke around your neck?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] But don't we want to find something that is here rather than something that is not here?

[Eric (to Master only)] is there "fog of war" on these maps?

[Toybin of Castling (Master) (to Eric only)] yes where you can only see the portions that are revealed

[Heckat (Fritz)] Yes that is why you need to follow me!!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] To the thing that is not here....

Heckat (Fritz) dances next to dorr as if she has to pee

[Heckat (Fritz)] No to the thing that is here but isn't supposed to be here

[Eric (to Master only)] lol thats awesome

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] (she can go through)

[Heckat (Fritz)] (I know..role playing)

[Heckat (Fritz)] Follow me

[Heckat (Fritz)] Follow me

[Heckat (Fritz)] Follow me

[Heckat (Fritz)] Follow me

[Heckat (Fritz)] Follow me

[Heckat (Fritz)] Follow me

Branwyn (Lisa) whisper to Androp "She's an odd one that one. Why are all the women we seem to get in our group insane?"

[Heckat (Fritz)] Follow me

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat: Detect Noise check:(d100) [1d100=92] 92 - ROLL FAILED against 30!!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Open the door and we shall follow

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 8'04".

[Fritz] Heckat targets Guard #9. Distance: 1'00"

Androp Ilkep (new guy) smiles and shrugs at Branwyn

Branwyn (Lisa) mutters "At a distance"

[Heckat (Fritz)] Hiya Boris!!

[Heckat (Fritz)] Still on duty I see

[Eric (to Master only)] how do they emote? It looks like the text turns white when they do

[Borin - Guard (Master)] It is Borin Heckat

[Heckat (Fritz)] Hows the day going? Ready for all the partying tonight?

[Borin - Guard (Master)] I told you that last night

[Borin - Guard (Master)] I am still awake from last night

[Heckat (Fritz)] Oh sorry Boring,,,Uhm Borin

[Borin - Guard (Master)] to emote forward slash me then type

Borin - Guard (Master) yawns

[Heckat (Fritz)] My memory is not always so good

[Heckat (Fritz)] Especially with names...

[Heckat (Fritz)] I try though

[Heckat (Fritz)] /smiles cutely

Heckat (Fritz) smiles cutely

[Heckat (Fritz)] Come on guys this way

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (isn't that a bard's job?)

[Borin - Guard (Master)] so where are you going?

[Heckat (Fritz)] First. I was going to show them how awesome you guys have your beds made...

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 43'01".

[Heckat (Fritz)] I was going to bounce a silver piece on them and show them how high it bounces

[Heckat (Fritz)] You guys are amazing

[Borin - Guard (Master)] they are still waking up there

[Borin - Guard (Master)] so you should go easy on them

[Heckat (Fritz)] Oh...Ok...Sure...I will try to pick one that wasn't slept in.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Then I was going to show them the view

[Heckat (Fritz)] But they are so busy looking out the other tower they are lagging behind

[Borin - Guard (Master)] well

Heckat (Fritz) whispers

[Borin - Guard (Master)] go on up to the lookout then

[Borin - Guard (Master)] the Royal Visitors are all setting up there

[Borin - Guard (Master)] the advance guards got in overnight

[Heckat (Fritz)] the old hag has bad hips

[Heckat (Fritz)] She walks slow

[Heckat (Fritz)] Oh Lady Branwyn...come on up and meet Borin

Heckat (Fritz) whispers....

Branwyn (Lisa) walks to room

[Heckat (Fritz)] don't stare she is self conscious

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 60'06".

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] Androp Ilkep moved 13'00".

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] Androp Ilkep moved 62'01".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning Borin

[Heckat (Fritz)] Borin - Branwyn. Branwyn-Borin

[Heckat (Fritz)] Is there a doctor in the house!!!

[Borin - Guard (Master)] Yes I know Lady Branwyn

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "I hope we haven't disturbed you so early"

[Heckat (Fritz)] Oooh yea...I forgot...EVERYBODY knows "Lady" Branwyn

[Borin - Guard (Master)] no not at all, good day Sir Castlin

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Borin,

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 14'11".

[Fritz] Heckat no longer targets Borin - Guard.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] we were having a debate actually

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] maybe you can solve it

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Heckat here thinks there are more rooms in this tower

Heckat (Fritz) puzzled look on face as she wonders why no one listens to her

[Borin - Guard (Master)] there is your room down below

[Borin - Guard (Master)] but nothign up higher

[Borin - Guard (Master)] why do you ask?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We have entirely too much time on our hands and so when we run out of sights to see we try to find new ones.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Well the design and layout of this castle makes me think it would have been more practical to have 6 levels on that side and 5 on this side.

[Heckat (Fritz)] not the other way around

[Borin - Guard (Master)] well I am not sure about that

[Borin - Guard (Master)] I know that there used to be a tower there, points

[Heckat (Fritz)] I have been to alot of castles and marvel at the archetectural desine

[Heckat (Fritz)] design

[Borin - Guard (Master)] but they used that stone to build the belvedere way way back for the Master's grandfather

Heckat (Fritz) sicks out tongue

[Heckat (Fritz)] PBBBLLLTTTTSSS told you so

[Heckat (Fritz)] What happpend to it

[Borin - Guard (Master)] how would you know about that?

[Borin - Guard (Master)] that must be 60 or more years ago

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes missing rooms make for exciting explorations

[Heckat (Fritz)] Well it seems that to get a better view military wise it would need to be higher on that tower.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is always wonderful not to find something

[Heckat (Fritz)] Other castles I have seen in similar environs were built that way

[Heckat (Fritz)] Was it destroyed in a fire or knowcked down in a war?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Maybe a dragon did it?

Ilero (TMO) leans and looks down over the edge of the walkway, idly listening to the conversation.

[Borin - Guard (Master)] I am not aware of any wars fought here in a hundred years or more

Heckat (Fritz) looks excited to be talking about castles

[Borin - Guard (Master)] no one would be foolish enough for that here

[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=3] 3 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

Heckat (Fritz) looks disapointed

[Heckat (Fritz)] Oh I was hoping it was something exciting

[Heckat (Fritz)] I like stories

[Borin - Guard (Master)] we have fought off some bandits

[Borin - Guard (Master)] and there was a dragon about 4 years ago

Branwyn (Lisa) walks into the room and sits down on one of the guard beds

[Heckat (Fritz)] Really?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 26'05".

Heckat (Fritz) acts very excited...

[Heckat (Fritz)] Later you will have to tell me more

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 13'02".

[Borin - Guard (Master)] I start my next watch this evening

Heckat (Fritz) bounces a coin on a well made bed

[Heckat (Fritz)] Dude yuu never sleep

[Borin - Guard (Master)] I will go to sleep soon

[Master] Time of Day: 07:22 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 5th, 342 SKR.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 15'05".

[Master (to Lisa only)] Indigo thinks it is time for breakfast

[Heckat (Fritz)] Waits for the others to come and block the view of the guards

[Branwyn (Lisa)] he room desperately looking for anything suspiciious or interesting

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 39'06".

[Heckat (Fritz)] before she tries the key on the dor

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=8] 8 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 17!!

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] Androp Ilkep moved 32'08".

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] Androp Ilkep moved 7'05".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (looks around - whole first part didn't type for some reason)

Androp Ilkep (new guy) stands over by Branwyn, leaning against the wall

[Heckat (Fritz)] Toybin of Castling moved 84'03".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Shurkural moved 67'04".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Indigo moved 72'05".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (how did Indigo break out of jail?)

[Heckat (Fritz)] Use key on door

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 3'01".

[Master] ok

[Master] Heckat's stolen key works on all three does

[Master] you pop them open then close them quickly

[Ilero (TMO)] (guard watching us?

[Master] they cannot see you

[Heckat (Fritz)] Do I see stiars going up in the door to the right?

[Master] no

[Master] door to the right is a chamber pot room

[Master] door to the left is a weapon's armory

[Master] door straight ahead is the stairs

[Heckat (Fritz)] I slip in the chamber pot room and look for a secret door.

[Heckat (Fritz)] there should be stairs going up to the 6th level somewhere

[Master] just those stairs up to the lookout

[Heckat (Fritz)] I close the door behind me

[Heckat (Fritz)] There should be stairs going up somewhere here

[Heckat (Fritz)] Nothing in the room?

Androp Ilkep (new guy) has no intention of going into the guard's restroom so gladly stays put

[Master] nothing in there except a couple of chamber pots

[Master] and a large tub that can be used for washing but it is empty and on its side

[Heckat (Fritz)] how do you search again?

[Master] you mean do a secret doors check?

[Heckat (Fritz)] yes

[Master] you take at least ten minutes to search a wall and hope you find something

[Master] is a 1 in 10 chance to find something if there is something there

[Master] and you do not have that kind of time

[Master] as you are supposed to be going UP

[Master] or down

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ok I slip into the armory

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 5'11".

[Master (to Eric only)] so you like how we use the maps?

[Master] Guard #6 moved 7'09".

[Master] Guard #6 targets Androp Ilkep. Distance: 1'10"

[Master] Guard #6 targets Branwyn. Distance: 4'05"

[Heckat (Fritz)] If guards are coming then forget it. I go through the door going up stairs

[Eric (to Master only)] ya this is great! Everyone is really great in RPing. Sorry I have been looking over your site as well as following.

[Master (to Eric only)] not at all, glad you are enjoying it is a lot to take in all at once, it takes people a few weeks normally just to get a good handle on everything

[Eric (to Master only)] how do you use grids? Is there an overlay when you do combat?

[Master (to Eric only)] by the way all this will be posted to the web, so you do not want to put yoru phone number or somethign here

Branwyn (Lisa) to guards "Good morning!"

[Master] so going up the stairs

[Master] you end up at the top of hte lookout

[Master] the top of the tall tower

[Eric (to Master only)] good to know! Thanks for the tip.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Wait as we go up the stiars I look for secret doors

[Master (to Eric only)] for combat is just like this, when you target etc the program knows ranges, does flanking bonuses automatically etc.

Branwyn (Lisa) stand up and between the guards and rest of group at the doors hoping that he does not have to make use of a chamber pot

[Master] the tower is the stairs for the most part above this

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 4'01".

[Master] just that circular stair

[Eric (to Master only)] wow that's great

[Master] so on the birds eye view for everyone

[Master] that is the tower you are going up Fritz

[Master] to the Overlook

[Master] so no secret rooms there

[Master] no place for them

[Master] Shurkural moved 37'07".

[Eric (to Master only)] FYI i'm interested in Cahus as my patron diety eventually.

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Borin, we are going down to Branwyn's rooms, we will want to go to breakfast soon so if you could have a guard ready to accompany us please

[Borin - Guard (Master)] Yes Sir Castling

[Master] Time of Day: 07:37 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 5th, 342 SKR.

[Master (to Eric only)] sounds good

[Master] so you are all gathered again in private

[Master] to share any last minute thoughts

[Master] before heading down to breakfast

[Ilero (TMO)] (nice try, Heckat)

[Master] and having servants and guards around you

[Ilero (TMO)] Was good idea. T'ey not making it easy for us, but t'ey not sposed to.

[Master] I will let anyone make an Intuition check who wants

[Ilero (TMO) (to GM only)] Ilero: INU check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Master] Oopps door brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: INU check: (d20) [1d20=2] 2 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 11!!

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ok...wait asec

[Heckat (Fritz)] do you have access to the pictures bob gave us?

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] Androp Ilkep: INT check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL FAILED against 12!!

[Lisa] which pictures?

[Lisa] INU roll

[Heckat (Fritz)] castle views and the maps

[Lisa] not separately - but can click on the two on the left bar

[Lisa] overview leabled and bird's eye

Lisa is receiving the map Overview Labeled...

Lisa has received the map Overview Labeled.

Lisa is receiving the map birds eye view from drawbridge...

[Heckat (Fritz)] need bob to open up tower 5 when he gets back

Lisa is receiving the map Tower 5...

Lisa has received the map Tower 5.

[Heckat (Fritz)] If you look at the old maps you will see a stairway on the guard level that is level 5

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] sorry my wife came in the front rather than garage got it all sorted out

[Heckat (Fritz)] Bob can you open level 5 again for a moment?

[Master] Grink moved 3'01".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Thanks

[Master] Grink is on that map so you can flip back and forth as you wish

[Master] Branwyn moved 2'00".

[Heckat (Fritz)] There used to be stairs where the chamber pot room is now

[Ilero (TMO)] Up or down?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Looks down

[Heckat (Fritz)] But this was the open air floor back then

[Heckat (Fritz)] They built a roof/level above so I thought they may have her hidden there

Fritz is receiving the map birds eye view from drawbridge...

[Ilero (TMO)] So Lady Branwyn's rooms on next level down. If t'ere stairs or room for stairs t'ere, t'en maybe stair still exist.

[Master] one thing to consider, she is the Queen Presumptive so she would need to be kept in a nice place if teh Count hopes to ever talk with her again

[Master] cannot keep her locked in a closet for weeks

[Heckat (Fritz)] But an entire floor all to herself...

[Heckat (Fritz)] That was what I was looking for

[Lisa] (so not tied up in chamber pot room?)

[Heckat (Fritz)] LOL

[Master] no princesses in there

Fritz is receiving the map Tower 3...

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (damn.. Androp was hoping that would be the case)

Fritz is receiving the map Tower 5...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (now there was the room next to the throne room (I think) that Ilero did not go into after he ran into guards)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (lol)

[Heckat (Fritz)] And Tobyn's rooms are on level 4 is that correct Bob?

[Master] yes

[Master] Branwyn, then Toybin, then the Guards

[Heckat (Fritz)] Have we looked there at all?

[Master] and going down is all the way down to the dungeon levels

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] yes you have been up and down the full staircase

[Heckat (Fritz)] Can we see Tobyn's rooms?

[Master] sure

Fritz is receiving the map Tower 3...

[Master] Heckat moved 2'10".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Has he checked those other 2 doors?

[Master] yes

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 18'11".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 7'08".

[Master] bedroom

[Master] and chamberpot room

[Heckat (Fritz)] Chamber p0ot room?

[Heckat (Fritz)] ok

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (this place has 100s of them)

[Heckat (Fritz)] So they converted the stairs into chamber pot rooms

[Heckat (Fritz)] Well there are still lots of areas on the bottom we haven't checked as well as the guard towers on the opposite side

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Ilero (TMO)] (will be in and out a bit. inlaws just got into town and are visiting to say hi to the grandkids for a few minutes)

[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.

[Heckat (Fritz)] So what do you all want to do till the party starts?

[Master (to TMO only)] your intuition check tells you that wait a minute, that guard said something about a belvedere, we have not seen one here in the castle

[Heckat (Fritz)] We have only a few hours left

[Heckat (Fritz)] Can I see the maps from below again bob?

[Master (to Lisa only)] your intuition check tells you that you have not seen any belvedere in the castle

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think we have most of the day

[Master] which one?

[Master] the birds eye view?

[Master] or the dungeons?

[Heckat (Fritz)] The jail level and the secret level

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (unfortunately we are running out of places we haven't seen)

[Master] that is the very bottom of the stairs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (the guard told Shur that a lady had been moved - we didn't follow up on that did we?)

[Master] no you did not Lisa

[Master] there is one level above this one

[Heckat (Fritz)] Yes.

[Heckat (Fritz)] This is the jail level right?

[Master] right

[Master] at least where the prisoners are currently being kept

[Heckat (Fritz)] We haven't looked in the double doors here

[Master] the rooms were originally for others maybe guards or servants

[Heckat (Fritz)] Nor have we gone past he area where they put the brewer when we ran from the gremlin

[Heckat (Fritz)] I say if we have any time left we need to go back down there

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we have plenty of time - audience is at dinner thereabouts)

[Heckat (Fritz)] Then lets go

[Master] nods audience will be at 630 just after sunset.....

[Master] then dinner after that

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (we should find a way to get the gremlin to help us, heh)

[Heckat (Fritz)] Hahaaha

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (if we let him loose that could delay things a bit :) )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (dungeon first?)

[Master (to Lisa only)] indigo lets out a plainitive breakfast?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Your call Lady Branwyn

Androp Ilkep (new guy) shrugs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let's go, but no fighting gremlins. We don't have time for that.

[Heckat (Fritz)] agree

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And Indigo, I'm sorry about breakfast. Would you rather go back to yoru rooms and see if koorin will get you some breakfast?

[Eric (to Master only)] just a follow up note. Sorry I've been going through these compendiums and reading as well as following, will i have access to all the spells in the compendiums as long as i meet the sphere requirement?

Indigo (Lisa) sulks a bit "She;s still not talking to me after last night. No dessert. No breakfast...."

[Master (to Eric only)] yes and no, access to every spell in the sphere that is common or uncommon plsu each religion has a couple of ones to their own, etc.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well you should have eaten your berries and not sat and complained like a child then.

[Eric (to Master only)] ok cool just checking

[Indigo (Lisa)] If you had to run in that smoke machine you'd complain too!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Fine! I'll wait.

[Master (to Eric only)] if you look at some of the other gods, for example Athena you will see there is a full spell list of what is available to her

Branwyn (Lisa) gives Indigo a bit of a push and heads down to the dungeon

[Master] all the way down to level two? or stopping on level one?

[Master] and poor Indigo might die of starvation with no breakfast

[Heckat (Fritz)] Level 1 is secret...would they hid her there ?

[Master] no first breakfast, no second breakfast

[Master] both levels are secret

[Master] at least both can only be accessed from this staircase by secret doors

[Heckat (Fritz)] Both had a secret door?

[Master] nods

[Heckat (Fritz)] But they took us to the prison level

[Master] only because Branwyn and Toybin are nobles are they allowed here

[Master] the first two times they took them the long way around

[Master] up and down the wide tower

[Master] then a guard was nice to branwyn and showed her hwo to work the secret door on the lower level

[Heckat (Fritz)] What do you say Branwyn?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that's the door that goes to the brewery?)

[Master] no

[Master] that is on the first dungeon level

[Heckat (Fritz)] That would be dungeon level 1

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (okay - I don't know the whole maps thing - all I want to do is go where we haven't looked - wherever that is)

[Heckat (Fritz)] ok. lrtd dtstt eith the double doors on level 2 bob

[Heckat (Fritz)] ok. Lets start with the double doors on level 2 bob

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 24'10".

[Koorin (Master)] WHAT ARE YOU DOING!

Koorin (Master) waving a spoon

[Koorin (Master)] YOU

[Koorin (Master)] MISSED

[Koorin (Master)] BREAKFAST

Koorin (Master) points to Indigo

[Koorin (Master)] I excpect that sort of thing from the rest of them, but you!

[Koorin (Master)] WHAT are you thinking?

[Koorin (Master)] and STOP that snickering Ilero, I can hear that!

[Indigo (Lisa)] I would have had breakfast

[Koorin (Master)] YOu are not too tall to spack with a spoon

[Master] Koorin moved 7'06".

[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 7'09".

[Indigo (Lisa)] They got me up early and there wasn't any. Figured it was because you were still mad.

[Koorin (Master)] (Toybin move into one of the alcoves and out of the line of fire)

[Indigo (Lisa)] Sounds like I was right.

[Koorin (Master)] OF COURSE I am mad!

[Koorin (Master)] I cook for you

[Koorin (Master)] and you do not eat it!

[Koorin (Master)] sausage pudding!

[Indigo (Lisa)] We have to go look for Wilamina. Did you make something i can take with me?

[Koorin (Master)] and breakfast was right on the table!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Pudding isn't very portable.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Any biscuits?

[Koorin (Master)] poor Mary had to carry all those things up

[Koorin (Master)] and you just ignored us all

[Koorin (Master)] I do not know what you were thinking!

Koorin (Master) waves her spoon at the group

[Indigo (Lisa)] Can I have a couple of biscuits so we can keep going.

[Indigo (Lisa)] We don't have all day. At least that's what everyone is saying.

[Koorin (Master)] We have a LOT of cooking to do

[Koorin (Master)] and I do not expect you to go galavanting around

[Koorin (Master)] I need you on the wheel

Koorin (Master) marches up to Indigo

[Master] Koorin moved 9'11".

[Indigo (Lisa)] I'm not getting back on that thing.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Find yourself anothe kobold

[Koorin (Master)] they are all dead!

[Koorin (Master)] or at least they seem to be

[Koorin (Master)] This is for the Queen Indigo!

[Koorin (Master)] We need to all work hard

Koorin (Master) WHACK him on the head with her spoon

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Koorin, we really need to keep looking and I need Indigo with me. I'm sorry but you'll have to find someone else to help you.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hey!

[Koorin (Master)] Hmmm

[Koorin (Master)] Can you magic me up somethign to help then Branwyn?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] KOORIN! Don't you hit Indigo when he's been hurt and is too kind to hit you back.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We don't have time for this and i am not in the mood. Heckat, let's keep going.

Koorin (Master) stares at Branwyn with big eyes

[Heckat (Fritz)] Yes Mum

[Koorin (Master)] (lol)

[Master] Branwyn tries the doors and they are locked

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 2'01".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat: Detect Noise check:(d100) [1d100=63] 63 - ROLL FAILED against 30!!

[Heckat (Fritz)] Wait a sec

[Eric (to Master only)] I really like the sphere acess Zeus' followers have and it fits nicely with the god of war battles (Cahus) if you swap the animal sphere with war (which has far fewer spells then animal). Maybe morningstar or something as a weapon. Just a thought to consider. sorry if i'm bothering you as i watch. I can email you this instead

[Heckat (Fritz)] Koorin you cooked breakfast for every one today?

Branwyn (Lisa) sighs

[Eric (to Master only)] btw do you use speed factors for weapons?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Did you by chance make a special breakfast for someone or have it taken to a special room that was different from where thy normally slept?

[Heckat (Fritz)] It would have been for a lady

[Master (to Eric only)] not a bother at all, we will look at those spheres, need to compare greater god against lesser god for ammount of spheres, and yes to weapon speeds... someday, it is not coded into the program yet

[Heckat (Fritz)] NOT the queen

[Eric (to Master only)] ok cool

Koorin (Master) looks at Heckat

[Koorin (Master)] I do not know

Heckat (Fritz) looks at Koorin

[Koorin (Master)] I am using this kitchen to make food for you folks

[Heckat (Fritz)] What do you mean you do NOT know?

[Koorin (Master)] and to help out with the rest of the cooking for the guards, and now the guests

[Koorin (Master)] they do seem to need a lot of food

[Heckat (Fritz)] Have you heard anyting from anyone else?

[Koorin (Master)] but no one has asked me for anything special for a lady

[Koorin (Master)] other than Branwyn here

[Heckat (Fritz)] a comment about taking food to someone?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Someone in a different room than before?

[Koorin (Master)] she is teh only lady that I know of

[Heckat (Fritz)] Not necessarily a lady...Anyone

Koorin (Master) scowls pointedly at Heckat

Heckat (Fritz) scowls back

Heckat (Fritz) or don't you pay attention to what is going on in your kitchen?

[Koorin (Master)] there are five other kitchens I think

[Koorin (Master)] at least four

[Koorin (Master)] I do soups and roasts

[Branwyn (Lisa)] it's not her kitchen. She is just helping.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Fine..I turn around and use the key on the door

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And koorin, I am sorry I snapped at you. If you promise to make Esmerelda a pie I'm sure she will help you today.

Heckat (Fritz) whispers...I'm sorry Koorin...nanaya..booby dooby...shooby doo

Koorin (Master) takes a deep breath,

[Koorin (Master)] I understand Branwyn, you have a lot to worry about with these people around

[Branwyn (Lisa)] And Wilamina to find! We are running out of time.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let's go.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Sticks key in hole again

[Master] Koorin moved 39'11".

Heckat (Fritz) Peak in room

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 7'02".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 5'05".

[Master] Heckat moved 5'03".

Lisa is receiving the map dungeon level two south...

Lisa has received the map dungeon level two south.

[Master] when you get inside the doors you feel like no one has been in here for a very long time

[Master] there is dust on teh floor

[Master] you stir it up as you walk in

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This doesn't look promising.

[Master] by the way Eric there is a measuring tool on the tool bar at the top

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no footprints?)

[Master] no footprints

Androp Ilkep (new guy) covers his mouth a moment as the dust stirs

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (what is black in center?)

[Master] straight ahead is a wall

[Master] with ailes or chambers going down either side

[Fritz] I am away from the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 42'08".

Branwyn (Lisa) goes down corridewr and looks around

[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.

[Master] Branwyn sees that each of these is a place for a crypt

[Ilero (TMO)] (lordy, but that took too long)

[Master] all the ones there along that side are filled in

[Branwyn (Lisa)] great! Maybe the Count's down here.

[Master] with a stone marker, the name etched in with gold or silver

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (no doors?)

[Master] solid stone across the front of each one

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 26'07".

[Ilero (TMO)] (we made it to a new level, I see)

[Master] Branwyn moved 23'09".

[Master] where Branwyn is standing now

[Master] looking north

[Master] each of those three bays

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (looks at little toom in front of her)

[Master] holds five crypts

Androp Ilkep (new guy) follows Branwyn but has a frown on his face as he looks around at the crypts

[Master] THEN you can go look at the room over to the left

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 21'01".

[Master] Branwyn moved 26'03".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 6'02".

[Fritz] I am back at the keyboard.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (another chamber pot room?)

[Master] That room is open

[Master] looks to be ready to build in the shelves for crypts

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 6'08".

[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 29'11".

Heckat (Fritz) snicker

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 6'04".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There doesn't seem to be anything down here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (was the door we walked into the only way in or out?)

[Master] that you have seen so far yes

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=13] 13 - ROLL FAILED against 10!!

[Heckat (Fritz)] Do we recognizwe any names?

[Ilero (TMO)] (any of the crypts recent construction?)

[Master] the ones you can see from here all have the last name of Drake,

[Master] which is the family name

Branwyn (Lisa) walks down to end of hall looking for another exit and peeking into the little alcoves

[Ilero (TMO)] Who was Count's father?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 31'10".

[Master] and in this section the dates are all in the old style of dating prior to Small Kingdom Reconing so they are well over 300 years old

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 17'08".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 19'07".

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 16'05".

[Master] in the ones you can see in that section that branwyn walked through

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Lots and lots of dead Drakes

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 17'02".

[Master] 125 different crypts all sealed up

[Heckat (Fritz)] Sealed being the key word

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 45'11".

[Ilero (TMO)] (does this passage I'm down just end here?)

Branwyn (Lisa) walks down to end looking for another door

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 27'04".

[Ilero (TMO)] (ah, GM censoring)

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 12'08".

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 22'04".

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 32'04".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This looks like a dead end

[Master] each of those along the wall is a bay of five crypts

[Heckat (Fritz)] LOL...Good Pun

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 23'05".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (smiles)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn: Observation check: (d20) [1d20=19] 19 [MODIFIED (+1)] - ROLL FAILED against 18!!

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 25'02".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 95'03".

Heckat (Fritz) then hushes to a whisper since they are in the crypts

[Master] so you have some where over 225 crypts so far

[Heckat (Fritz)] Good one Branwyn

[Ilero (TMO)] Say 40 years each generation. T'at's a long time.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Just as long as we find no bloods

[Ilero (TMO)] Unless brot'ers and sisters and wives here too.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Who votes we leave here and look elsewhere?

[Ilero (TMO)] Less time if so.

Heckat (Fritz) raises hand

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 25'01".

[Master] Time of Day: 09:14 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 5th, 342 SKR.

[Ilero (TMO)] Ilero moved 62'09".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 21'08".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Definitely

[Ilero (TMO)] Hye know where to go.

Fritz is receiving the map Dungeon level two rooms...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You lead then.

TMO is receiving the map Overview Labeled...

TMO has received the map Overview Labeled.

TMO is receiving the map birds eye view from drawbridge...

TMO has received the map birds eye view from drawbridge.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Other end of the level I guess

[Ilero (TMO)] No. Heckat say tower shorter t'an it sposed to be.

[Ilero (TMO)] She right. Guard say stone taken to make belvedere. Anybody here seen belvedere yet? I haven't. It not on my maps.

[Heckat (Fritz)] What is Belvedere?

[Ilero (TMO)] Rooms for fancy high parties and entertaining noble guests.

[Ilero (TMO)] Like, say, Princesses?

[Heckat (Fritz)] Would that have been the rooms we were in?

[Heckat (Fritz)] They got walled off areas that are new?

[Ilero (TMO)] Hye not sure, but hye t'ink it outside main castle t'at we been exploring. Inside walls, of course. By chapel.

[Ilero (TMO)] No idea how to get t'ere, t'ough.

[Ilero (TMO)] Heh. I know where to go, but not how to get t'ere. Big help I be.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Which area do ya mean?

TMO is receiving the map Overview Labeled...

TMO has received the map Overview Labeled.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] The guards should know.

Lisa is receiving the map Dungeon level two rooms...

TMO is receiving the map birds eye view from drawbridge...

TMO has received the map birds eye view from drawbridge.

Lisa has received the map Dungeon level two rooms.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Oh I see

[Master] Lisa Bill? do you understand?

[Master] TMO do you ?

[Master] Fritz?

[Master] what is the insight so far

[Heckat (Fritz)] Yea what used to be the overlook?

[Master] no

[Master] the overlook is the tall tower

[Master] that is where you were this morning

[Heckat (Fritz)] Not on map 6

[Master] if you compare the birds eye view

[Master] TMo you have that up

[Heckat (Fritz)] On map 6 it would be where the belvedere is

[Master] Eric so you know you can click on a map, hit P on the keyboard to bring up a pointer

[Master] to show people what you want

[Master] That is the tall tower you went up adn down Fritz

[Ilero (TMO)] allow me

[Eric] cool

[Master] Tmo was showing the main chapel

[Ilero (TMO)] (that's where I think it might be)

[Ilero (TMO)] (well, I could be wrong. :P)

[Heckat (Fritz)] Pull up birds eye view from valley side

[Master] grins ok Fritz

[Heckat (Fritz)] When did you hear about the bellvedre?

[Ilero (TMO)] Your guard, Boris. He say it.

[Heckat (Fritz)] When?

[Ilero (TMO)] "Stones from tower taken 60 years ago to build belvedere."

[Heckat (Fritz)] I must have missed that

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ahhh

Ilero (TMO) taps his ear. "Hye was listening."

[Heckat (Fritz)] I did miss that

[Master] chuckles

[Heckat (Fritz)] Good ear Iler

[Heckat (Fritz)] ilero

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Heckat (Fritz)] See I was on the right track

[Ilero (TMO)] (and I made my Intuition roll. ;) )

[Heckat (Fritz)] Just didn't hear all the info

[Ilero (TMO)] (so Bob gently shoved the idea into my head)

[Ilero (TMO)] (I think the internal bleeding will stop soon)

[Heckat (Fritz)] Well...Good for brain shoving

[Master] so you are in the dungeon level two rooms still

[Heckat (Fritz)] Borin - Guard (Master)] but they used that stone to build the belvedere way way back for the Master's grandfather

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (so let's go find this lovely place)

[Ilero (TMO)] (yar)

[Heckat (Fritz)] Well if I was hoity toity enough to know what a Belvedre was then I would have understood what Boris said

Heckat (Fritz) looks at "Lady" Branwyn

[Ilero (TMO)] Pa has small belvedere. Count's probably much fancier.

[Master (to new guy only)] Androp know when he goes out to exercise and practice they always keep him in the courtyard area near the drawbridge where you came in the front doors

Heckat (Fritz) Gives Ilero a nasty look

[Ilero (TMO)] (sry, Ilero calls him Da, not Pa)

[Androp Ilkep (new guy) (to Master only)] gotcha, belvedre is in the back right?

Fritz is receiving the map birds eye view from valley side...

[Master (to new guy only)] yeap

[Master] Koorin moved 67'09".

[Master] Koorin targets dead kobold. Distance: 1'08"

[Heckat (Fritz)] Well we could go aoutside and walk the grounds or we can go on the walls outside and walk around and see if there are stairs going down

[Androp Ilkep (new guy) (to Master only)] Did it seem like they were purposefully keeping me away from getting anywhere near it? I never tried to have Androp go near it...

[Ilero (TMO)] We call it Great Hall t'ough. Style different, same t'ing.

[Heckat (Fritz)] From the ramparts

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Or we could just ask a guard....

[Master (to new guy only)] there were guards at the arches that lead to the back area that were just there, you never pushed the issue but they did guide you to stay up front

[Ilero (TMO)] Androp. You see anyt'ing while you do your training outside ot'er day?

[Androp Ilkep (new guy) (to Master only)] gotcha

Heckat (Fritz) whispers in a ratty voice'or we could just ask a guard"

[Ilero (TMO)] Sir Toybin, you trained too, yes?

Heckat (Fritz) whispers "If she is so smart how come she didn't know what a Belvedre was?"

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] I only trained the one time outside to see if there were boarded up windows

[Branwyn (Lisa)] What is your problem?

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] Androp has been out each morning we have been here

Androp Ilkep (new guy) clears his throat, "Yea, I have and now that I think about it..."

Heckat (Fritz) wonders if Branwyn heard her jealous mummbling?

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] Mind you I never tried to head back to that area but the guards made it a point to keep me in the front courtyard

[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you have something to say to me go right ahead.

Heckat (Fritz) Wonders if Branwyn is talking to her?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Heckat if you won't talk then keep it that way. This will not work when you are with the Queen and I won't be trying to save you.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I'm going to find a guard,

[Heckat (Fritz)] Oh I'm sorry

Heckat (Fritz) looks peavish

Branwyn (Lisa) nods to Indigo and walks down the hallwalks

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 45'05".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Branwyn moved 28'02".

[Heckat (Fritz)] I was saying to myself if you would notice if I cleaned all that nasty dust off of your lovely dress and shoes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Indigo moved 75'06".

Shurkural (TMO) backhands Heckat in the upper arm gently.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Rando! Good morning!

[Rando (Master)] Yes Misstress Branwyn the Mysterious

[Rando (Master)] very busy day today

[Heckat (Fritz)] Ow!! What did I do?!?!?!

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Did you get a chance to see the Royal Camp at the Lookout this morning?

Fritz is receiving the map Dungeon level two rooms...

[Rando (Master)] are you looking for anyone in particular?

[Rando (Master)] Oh yes

[Rando (Master)] very excisting in deed

[Rando (Master)] very nice to see all the pennants out there

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Very much so.

[Rando (Master)] celebrating the Queen paying a royal visit to our Master

[Rando (Master)] is a good honor

[Rando (Master)] that she stops here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is an honour you are right.

[Heckat (Fritz) (to Master only)] you know I mentioned the "belbedre" last time but called it the lookout as it was labeled that on Map 6...Good job confusing me

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We are trying to stay out of the way of the servants running around getting things ready.

[Rando (Master) (to Fritz only)] grins the outlook, the lookout and the belvedere are all labeled differently but it is a good catch as it is not on your original maps

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Borin mentioned the Count had a belvedere. Is that off the Courtyard?

Shurkural (TMO) stands just behind and to the side of Branwyn.

[Rando (Master)] Oh I doubt that is possible

[Rando (Master)] staying out of the way of people I mean

Branwyn (Lisa) laughs

[Rando (Master)] and a belvedere?

[Shurkural (TMO)] Shurkural: Art - Flirting check: (d20) [1d20=7] 7 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 10!!

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 17'05".

[Rando (Master)] well

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 63'07".

[Master] Shurkural moved 84'01".

[Master] Shurkural targets Rando. Distance: 1'04"

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] Androp Ilkep moved 59'08".

[Shurkural (TMO)] (trying to distract him from thinking about why we're asking)

[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 77'02".

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Rando showed us the secret doors - he is a nice guy)

[Rando (Master)] well you know the winter garden is there

[Rando (Master)] so it is not much of anything now

[Shurkural (TMO)] (men can only have one set of brain circuits working at a time, after all. If we can overload his suspicious side a bit)

[Rando (Master)] lol

[Branwyn (Lisa)] There are buildings attached to the garden?

[Rando (Master)] rooms yes

[Branwyn (Lisa)] How could we have missed that when we were in the Courtyard?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is in the back?

[Rando (Master)] OH yes

[Rando (Master)] it is out on the edge of teh cliffs

[Rando (Master)] very hard to get to

[Rando (Master)] only a guard can get through the towers at the gatehouse

[Rando (Master)] maybe you will see it with the Queen?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] All that just to see the garden?

[Rando (Master)] if she entertains there?

[Rando (Master)] I do not know much about that sort of thing

[Rando (Master)] this is the first time I have even seen the Queen

[Rando (Master)] does she visit you often?

[Rando (Master)] OH

[Shurkural (TMO)] Maybe a girl just wants a little privacy sometimes, you know?

[Rando (Master)] that is stupid

[Rando (Master)] of course she does

Branwyn (Lisa) smiles

[Rando (Master)] Sir Toybin of Castlin is a knight and all

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Most people visit her and not the other way around.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] This is why this visit is so important.

[Rando (Master)] I am sure it is very important

[Branwyn (Lisa)] So can you take us to the gardens?

[Rando (Master)] Oh

[Rando (Master)] well

[Rando (Master)] I suppose I should ask

[Rando (Master)] but I think I can find time this afternoon

[Rando (Master)] just after noon ?

[Rando (Master)] I can come to your chambers?

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the others

[Master] Time of Day: 09:29 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 5th, 342 SKR.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] That sounds wonderful. We'll be waiting for you.

Androp Ilkep (new guy) shrugs

[Shurkural (TMO)] It's a date, sugar. See you there.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ohhhhh, noon is lunch time.

Rando (Master) blushes

[Shurkural (TMO)] (she comes in handy sometimes)

[Rando (Master)] are you going up?

[Rando (Master)] I can get a guard for you Mr Indigo

Indigo (Lisa) mutters "I'd rather have a sandwich"

[Master] OK so

[Master] going up the large tower behind Rando?

[Master] up to the main hall?

[Master] go to the chapel again?

[Master] and Eric are you following things ok tonight?

[Master] map changes and in and out of charcter working for you?

[Eric] ya just the obvious behind the ball on past gaming sessions but so far so good

[Master] it is easy, you only have 10 years of chat logs to read ;)

[Eric] lol ya trust me i started until i realized that....

[Heckat (Fritz)] We can go to level 2 and access the ramparts from there.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (this era is only what 2 years old?_

[Master] 2010

[Eric] oh well then i guess i have no exxcuses

[Master] from Phoenix Era onward

[Master] Blood trail Era has been just about 9 months so far

[Eric] well see now we're getting somewhere

[Heckat (Fritz)] On the old map there seems to be stairs that "might" go down to the ground floor and from there we could get to the Belvedre

[Eric] i'll pick up the blood trail era chat log and go from there

[Shurkural (TMO)] (I never did go through many of the old logs... :( )

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I don't know if you have to read all that! This adventure is coming to an end)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we hope)

[Eric] lol

[Master] one way or another......

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (hah)

[Shurkural (TMO)] (rocks fall, everybody dies)

[Master] and so two possible places to head to

[Master] the walkway over to the walls near the old guest rooms, or the main chapel with is near the wall where the belvedere is

[Shurkural (TMO)] (and for the shocking plot twist... Androp goes back to his room and finds the princess naked in his bed!! Fade to black...)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (LOL)

[Master] Androp can tell you that the last time he went out on the walkways two days ago the guards did not let him cross out over to the outer walls

[Master] LOL

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (Damn.. not sure what Androp would do)

[Shurkural (TMO)] (this is a soap opera, right?)

[Master] well in that case it would be the evil twin of the princess

[Eric] who just got a brain transplant

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (I though Ilero & Androp already met evil twin)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (they are looking for the good one)

[Shurkural (TMO)] (we may have - you never know)

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (Yea well I'd help the evil twin... heh)

[Master] so Chapel? or walkway?

[Shurkural (TMO)] (which is easier to get to?)

[Master] both are off the main large tower

[Master] chapel is on the ground floor

[Master] walkway is on the 2nd level

[Master] Oh Eric, ground flood, first floor, second floor, like european style

[Shurkural (TMO)] ground floor, since we're below ground right now

[Eric] ok

[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 19'00".

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] here on this level

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] we have to go through the kitchen

[Master] Toybin of Castling moved 71'00".

[Master] Androp Ilkep moved 53'06".

[Master] Heckat moved 74'00".

Ilero (TMO) mutters, "Who connects main buildings with kitchens?"

[Master] Branwyn moved 9'08".

[Toybin of Castling (Master)] for those who have not been in this area before

[Master] grins at TMO

[Master] if the servants are the ones who have to go through them who cares?

[Master] this main chapel opens up

[Ilero (TMO)] (the big boss never has to go from one building to another?)

[Master] there is a balcony just over where branwyn is

Eric has joined the game on Fri Apr 26 23:22:29 EDT 2013

Eric is receiving the map main chapel area...

[Master] there are the double doors to the north there

[Master] that go ito the throne room

[Master] he can come and go as he pleases from that room

Eric has received the map main chapel area.

[Master] you are the ones who cannot

Eric has left the game on Fri Apr 26 23:23:10 EDT 2013

Ilero (TMO) feels all servant-y

[Master] so you see the outline of the balcony above Branwyn there

[Master] everythign good Eric?

[Master] you got disconnected and back in?

[Master] or just bad lag?

[Eric] disconnected

[Eric] or it stopped responding

[Master] it was on a delay with you

[Master] but this room is large now

[Master] main statue across the way

[Master] Branwyn moved 21'03".

[Master] two smaller chapels to the sides

[Master] Androp Ilkep, Indigo, Shurkural, Ilero, Toybin of Castling, Heckat and Trun - guard moved 27'04".

[Master] Ukko moved 3'05".

[Master] Branwyn moved 9'06".

[Master] everyone back in sync now?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that was nice)

[Heckat (Fritz)] ok so it is 10:00 am...The wolves are howling...Sounds like trouble

[Master] grins

[Master] that was to wake everyone up

[Ilero (TMO)] (any windows we can look out of to where belvedere should be?)

[Eric] lol

[Master] all those are windows

[Master] they look out to the large outer wall

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 23'01".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Heckat moved 30'09".

[Heckat (Fritz)] I look out window

[Heckat (Fritz)] Any latches?

[Master] no latches

[Heckat (Fritz)] So can't be opened from inside?

[Master] correct, large stained glass windown fixed in place

[Eric] try a hammer

[Eric] wow my internet is being bitchy tonight

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Apr 26 23:34:27 EDT 2013

[Master] that was me Eric

[Master] for some reason Klooge just shut down

Eric has received the map main chapel area.

Lisa has received the map main chapel area.

[Master] brought it back up right away

[Master] last comment made was your hammer one

[Master] I auto save very often to avoid losign things grins

[Fritz] I don't see anyway we can get there without going outside

TMO has joined the game on Fri Apr 26 23:35:56 EDT 2013

TMO is receiving the map main chapel area...

TMO has received the map main chapel area.

[Master] yes to Fritz

new guy has joined the game on Fri Apr 26 23:37:57 EDT 2013

new guy is receiving the map main chapel area...

new guy has received the map main chapel area.

[Master] so any other things to explore here in the chapel?

[Master] you did not miss anything Bill

[Heckat (Fritz)] So unless we eeither go out the front door and around or go for a walk on the ramparts via the second level someon has to piss off the duke and break a window

[new guy] I am back at the keyboard.

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (Cool)

[Master] those are all options Fritz

[Lisa] (we don't just want to wait until we get taken there?)

[TMO] (well, if you want to be NICE about it)

[Master] so everyone has teh outside Courtyard view now

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (impulsive actions have resulted in people losing limbs, ears, and getting arms broken, I'm all for waiting)

[Master] down in the lower left corner of that map you can see one of the two walkways out to the outer walls

[TMO] (hey, I still have all my various and sundry limbs and appendages)

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (As do I. Just saying some people don't)

[Master] grins

[TMO] (if I'd have been quicker off the mark, I could have picked up some spare limbs or appendages in case I developed a need later)

Indigo (Lisa) looks down embarrassed

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] The guards wouldn't let me get across last time I was there

[Master] Or under the archway

[TMO] (not sure what I'd do with a gnome hand, though. Mount it on a stick as a back-scratcher, maybe?)

[Master] that is what Androp was talking about earlier

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[Master] you have practiced in the corner there

[Master] but not past the archway

[TMO] (archway in th ebottom center of the map section we have?)

[Master] your first mornign here Toybin walked this area looking for boarded up windows

[Master] yes right and left sides of teh keep

[TMO] (I have a 1 in 3 chance of hiding in shadows, but I bet being in a wide-open courtyard imposes some circumstance penalties)

[TMO] (not to mention guard suspicions if I'm caught stealthing around)

[Master] you are not out here right now, this is just to show everyone what you already know

[Master] but yes you could try to hide in shadows near the walls

[Master] and yes if caught......

[TMO] and in daylight...

[Master] the guest rooms that ANdrop and Ilero stayed in up until last night are just off the walkway in the lower right

[Master] the tall tower where Branwyn and Toybin are is just off the southern edge there

Fritz is receiving the map main chapel area...

[Fritz] I am back at the keyboard.

[Heckat (Fritz)] Were the windows to our rooms locked?

[Master] in the temporary guest rooms there is one window, it is not locked

[TMO] (see, the problem is that we're constrained. The usual PC behavior is to just try to sneak in, and if caught, plan b is to kill all the guards. We're not allowed to do that here. It would be Bad.)

[TMO] (life was simpler as a psychopath)

[Master] QuiFon Ruminel moved 6'01".

[Heckat (Fritz)] Well we either wait 6 hours till we get an escort. Or sneak out our windows now

[Indigo (Lisa)] (hopefully our next adventure will take us back into the wild)

[Master] 2 hours

[Master] it is just after ten

[Master] Time of Day: 10:14 AM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Ze {Mid Summer} 5th, 342 SKR.

[TMO] (I say wait)

[Master] guard is meeting Branwyn in her chambers just after noon

[Indigo (Lisa)] (can we kill lots of things after this story is done?)

[Master] I promise

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yay!)

[Master] you get to go up against a rival mercenary unit

[Master] have to break through enemy lines of a besieged town

[Master] and rescue someone

[Master] get to kill all the bad guys

[TMO] (Yay for indiscriminant slaughter!)

[TMO] (indiscriminate)

[Master] as long as you do not kill the person you are there to rescue

[Master] grins

[Master] but yes lots of slaughter

[Master] I think we can wrap up here for the night

[Master] pick up at noon with an escort?

[Androp Ilkep (new guy)] (sounds good)

[Master] good game veryone
