Kaz is receiving the map Arena_District...

[Master] hey there

Kaz has received the map Arena_District.

[Kaz] HI hi

[Kaz] I don't know why, but the game never shows up in my list anymore.

[Master] no clue

[Master] maybe you blocked me?

[Kaz] In fact NONE of the games show up in my list. I have to connect manually, every time.

[Master] sobs

[Kaz] Wouldn't know how to block you, silly

[Master] playing with a new addition to my repetiore on the Spell Duels page I created

[Master] Anchor links and colored text

[Kaz] oh?

[Master] links that work on the same page

[Master] to help avoid scrolling through tons of text

Guy has joined the game on Fri Apr 29 18:43:49 EDT 2011

Guy is receiving the map Arena_District...

[Kaz] ooh.

Guy has received the map Arena_District.

[Guy] howdy howdy

[Master] Hello Sir Guy

Lisa has joined the game on Fri Apr 29 18:46:46 EDT 2011

Lisa is receiving the map Arena_District...

[Master] Hello Lisa

Lisa has received the map Arena_District.

[Kaz] Heya Lisa

[Guy] hiya lisa

[Lisa] Hello! :)

[Master] Marco is still on the plane I believe

[Master] no clue about Mike

[Master] but the three of you are the ones who should be deciding how to wrap this up, present your findings, etc

[Master] after that I will award the Story Award XP

[Lisa] That sucks

[Master] adn we can work out details about training

[Lisa] I did not prepare to summarize findings

Dee has joined the game on Fri Apr 29 18:49:46 EDT 2011

Dee is receiving the map Arena_District...

[Lisa] thought that was Marco's job

Dee has received the map Arena_District.

[Lisa] Kaz - you know all the details with the necklace and what not?

[Guy] howdy dee

[Master] and hello Dee

[Kaz] Hiya Dee

[Lisa] Hi Dee

[Dee] hello guys and gals

[Kaz] Not sure, Lisa

[Guy] i say we have everybody meet us at sandefords

[Master] to be clear Indigo found a large black pearl inside the bust when it broke open, no necklace

[Lisa] okay - going to go read chat logs, be back in a bit

[Lisa] I know Bob but there was a necklace somewhere in all this

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Master] that was mentioned back when you visited the art studio

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lisa] yes

[Lisa] I am away from the keyboard.

[Guy] everybody just assumed that there was a necklace hidden in one of the busts

[Kaz] Because they were made at the same time as the necklace

[Kaz] It's possible that the necklace given the Duke is real, except for the pearl.

Dee has left the game on Fri Apr 29 18:57:49 EDT 2011

[Lisa] I am back at the keyboard.

[Lisa] goal given us was to catch the perp - obviously that didn't happen but I think we can safely say he was killed at the mage guild

[Master] Branwyn XP award: 333. Next level in 25493.

[Master] Kristelle XP award: 333. Next level in 16777.

[Master] Foriso Fairhand XP award: 333. Next level in 26444.

[Lisa] Foriso should probably appraise that pearl before we talk to Watson

[Lisa] read that spell dueling thing on the website - looked horrendously complicated

[Kaz] And we could probably find out what the actual necklace should look like from Gelder, if need be.

[Master] I do not think we can do the spell dueling thing tonight

[Master] would be took much but perhaps next week

[Lisa] we can't have mage dueling day if Marco is not going to be there

[Master] it woudl be nice to have him involved if he wants to I agree

[Lisa] he will be back next week?

[Master] He did not say, but I hope so

[Lisa] whatever day it still looked really complicated

[Lisa] think I would toss a bunch of spells out there and duck

[Master] It is all about strategy on attacking versus leeching versus defensive spells

[Lisa] complicated

[Master] plus Branwyn is the type of mage that will just move forward and attack the spells herself

[Master] will be interesting

[Master] but I agree complicated as well

[Master] so Foriso and Indigo have the shards and the Pearl

[Master] are you heading to the Mage's guild?

[Master] or the Inn?

[Master] or?

[Master] Time of Day: 07:00 PM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.

Guy has left the game on Fri Apr 29 19:10:27 EDT 2011

[Lisa] we should meet back with the others shouldn't we? Not leave hem hanging with the uncooperative door

[Kaz] gUY WILL BE RIGHT BACK

[Kaz] sorry

[Lisa] lol

[Kaz] Anyway, yeah... he'll be right back.

Guy has joined the game on Fri Apr 29 19:11:05 EDT 2011

Guy is receiving the map Arena_District...

[Kaz] See?

[Lisa] like magic

Guy has received the map Arena_District.

[Guy] I am back at the keyboard.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] (grrrr stupid X))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((you just want to get into a fight with those people lol)))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Shall we go find the mages Indigo? Im sure by now they canuse our help

[Indigo (Lisa)] Yes, let's get out of here while we still can

[Master] (not sure if Mike will be in or not, he is frustrated by the update)

[Indigo (Lisa)] (this was an easy one)

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((mike has a hate/hate relationship with klooge))

[Master] I understand the frustration about the program update not working inside of the program, but no one ever posts to the Klooge boards to complain about it, so it is hard for me to make a case about it

[Master] but back to the Mages Guild

[Master] so the two of you find one of the two large streets going into the area

[Master] there is the set of six temples in front of you

[Indigo (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Indigo modified: Wealth - CHANGED: Gold Pieces -- Carried: 6 (10), CHANGED: Silver Pieces -- Carried: 9 (10),

[Master] and the arena there with a small crowd coming out of the entrance area there

[Indigo (Lisa)] (are you going to make us get lost?)

[Master] just letting you know what you see

[Indigo (Lisa)] (okay better)

[Master] Foriso Fairhand and Indigo moved 376'10".

[Master] your group is gathered outside of the Mages Guild, the group of tough guys from earlier are gone, but the crowds have picked up a lot in the area

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) leans down to Indigo and whispers "be very careful of you pouch right now this is a good time for pick-pockets"

Indigo (Lisa) nods and clutches his pouch closer to him wishing he was home or even in a swamp somewhere

Indigo (Lisa) sees Branwyn and Kristelle up ahead and runs up to greet them

[Indigo (Lisa)] We got it! We got it!

[Indigo (Lisa)] Indigo moved 97'00".

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) follows close behind Indigo watching for anything suspicious

[Branwyn (Lisa)] You caught the thief? Or got the bust?

[Indigo (Lisa)] No I broke it! And there was something inside it.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] We got thebust

[Kaz] Oh, good. We got the bust.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Indigo the streets have ears my friend

Kaz puts her hand on Indigo's shoulder and squeezes slightly.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Oh, sorry.

[Kaz] (except, of course, that it's Kristelle doing that.)

[Indigo (Lisa)] But we can go home now soon, right?

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] theres still the matter of training my friend and then we can go home

[Indigo (Lisa)] That's right. But maybe I can just stay at the inn

mikE has joined the game on Fri Apr 29 19:28:57 EDT 2011

mikE is receiving the map Arena_District...

mikE has received the map Arena_District.

[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] and very good

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (Hi Mike!)

[Kaz] I am back at the keyboard.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((yay, Mike!))

[mikE] hey all. finally made it

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((howdy mike))

[mikE] between windows updates and the retarded ass klooge update it was borderline

Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Foriso, "So does that mean we can leave this unwavering door for the evening?"

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I think we can safely do that

[Branwyn (Lisa)] We weren't making much progress here

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] If anybody can get to that bust then theres no chance we can defeat them

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Very true

Indigo (Lisa) opens and closes his mouth a few times wanting to talk about what had happened at Sandefords but then finally deciding against it

[mikE] okay, so three sentence update for me?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((We got a pearl from Sandeford's bust.))

[Indigo (Lisa)] (someone tried to steal bust from mage guild but was killed)

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((... no need for a third sentence.))

[Indigo (Lisa)] (I guess all we need to do is report our findings - is Lestrade with us?)

[Clerk Lestrade (Master)] yes

[Indigo (Lisa)] (so should we head over to Watson and see if we can score another dinner and explain ourselves or do something with the pearl?)

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I think we need to find out from Gelder if the Duke's necklace contains a black pearl))

[Indigo (Lisa)] (sounds good)

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Otherwise we're handing over something that might not actually be related to her necklace, it may belong to someone else.))

[Indigo (Lisa)] (like us)

[Master] Gelder's place will be closed this time of the evening

[Master] you can visit him in the morning

[mikE] we got a pearl from the bust in the temple?

[Master] but you do have your other options of appraising and divination things you can try

[Master] and yes to Mike

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Yes, I think we should do those things. Appraise and divine.))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to GM only)] Foriso Fairhand: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=11] 11 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((guess i should have waited huh lol))

[Master] ok, shall we say you are back in the Inn when that happens?

[Master] or are you stopping at a local church first?

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((yeah lol))

[Master] ok

[Master] Inn?

[Master] seconded?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((why would we stop at a local church? COnfuzzled.))

[Master] step right up for all your divining needs

[mikE] i wonder if that pearl is what they were searching for.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I'm looking to see what Miranda's got))

[Master] ok

[mikE] maybe not an artist or art critic but a black market pearl smuggling gone wrong

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((we may be better off at a church, though))

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((absolutely true, Mike))

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((That's why I want to check before we even say it has anythign to do with the Duke's necklace))

[Master] so heading to the Inn

[Master] then possibly back out to find a church

[Indigo (Lisa)] (and the Duke is a priest and not a social title like that prince?)

[Master] you do not know Lisa

[mikE] i'm forgetting about the necklace

[mikE] what necklace?

[Master] and at the Inn, you grab some drinks and go to your room to talk

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((stupid prince))

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Gelder told us that a necklace was made at the same time busts were))

[Master] Foriso does his appraising check as you confer about spells to use

[Indigo (Lisa)] (wasn't yarn found on dead gnome matched necklace with pearl bought by duke? that was how he found it in the book)

[Master (to Guy only)] Foriso looks at the Pearl and understands that A- this is really valuable, well over 10,000 GP and B - it is some sort of magical item and C- it is likely a religious holy item

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ummm We have a major problem

[Kristelle (Kaz)] What?

[mikE] it's worthless?

[mikE] or worth BILLIONS? mwahahahahaha

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] well its worth about 10,000 gold

Kristelle (Kaz) chokes.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Are you serious?

[Indigo (Lisa)] (training for everybody!)

[mikE] cool. we're rich

[mikE] let's conveniently NOT mention this

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((lol Mike))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] BUT its magical in some way , and likely a holy item

[mikE] we got priests aplenty. we deserve it

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((and we likely wind up with a city full of mages after us for this))

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Miranda will Detect Magic and check out the pearl))

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Miranda casts a spell against : Detect Magic - Priest: For 1 turn, I can detect magic in a 10'x30' path.

[Master] Miranda casts detect magic on the pearl and it does not show up

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (isn't it going to be hard to sell? anyone got change for 10K gp or in D&D world is that not relevant?)

[Master] can not tell there is even a pearl there

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Magic doesn't show up? OR I can't see the pearl at all?))

[Miranda (Kaz)] How very odd.

[Miranda (Kaz)] It's as though the pearl doesn't exist.

[Miranda (Kaz)] One of you, grab that pearl and hold it.

[mikE] pft. i remember that stupid sea shell. hell no

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) holds onto the pearl

[Master] and Foriso appears to not have any magic on him at all to Miranda's look

[Master] no cloak, no pearl, nothing

[mikE] if that's the only use for it, it's pretty meh

[mikE] i suppose it'd be good for breaking into mage places.

[Miranda (Kaz)] It's like I can't see magic, and I should be able to.

[mikE] where they likely have traps that detect magic

[mikE] could be good for the mage with invisibility

[Kristelle (Kaz)] I'm not really sure what to do about this. I wonder...

[Branwyn (Lisa)] It definitely could have its uses and this Duke must be very wealthy.

[mikE] put it in your mouth

[Kristelle (Kaz)] I'd hate to say anything against a Duke without any proof... but I wonder if the Duke is still alive.

[Branwyn (Lisa)] Maybe the Duke was the one who broke into the mage guild. He thought he would be just fine and then wham!

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Consider this: What if the Duke commisioned this necklace, to be made with this pearl that allows her to go unnoticed by magic. Then she uses it to break into the Mages Guild, not realising it's not the correct pearl.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((thought the Duke was female?))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] IF this truly was the Dukes then I doubt very seriously that she is still alive.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Which means that there's a gnome somewhere who is still going to try to get the pearl.

[mikE] what if the duke just ran out to shoot up an outlaw or two?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (saw that in chat - is strange should be duchess - must be a priest title for it to go with a woman)

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((probably, yes - which perhaps means that there's a Priest vs. Mage thing going on, most likely))

[mikE] i like the idea about the fake pearl getting her killed

[Kristelle (Kaz)] We need to find out, somehow, if the Duke is still alive. Discreetly.))

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((sorry, that was in character))

[mikE] that theory doesn't give us the who, but at least the why

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] well if I can get in touch with my little friend I might be able to find out

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Why don't you work on that, and we'll try to figure out how we're going to stay alive.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] both if the Duke is still alive and if there is some kind of mage p[riest war goinmg on

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) hands Miranda the pearl and heads down to the bar

[Kristelle (Kaz)] If the Duke is actually a priest like the Prince, I'm sure we'll have priests after us.

[mikE] this doesn't neccisarily mean a mage v. priest thing.

[mikE] could just be the duke wanting something

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((no, not necessarily, but it doesn't hurt to find out))

[mikE] it might

[Master] ?

[mikE] if we get in the middle we could get significantly hurt by the powers at large here

[Branwyn (Lisa)] that's why it might be best to just turn it over to Watson - he is neither

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) looks around the common room then heads towards the bar

[Su (Master)] How are you tonight? did you enjoy your first day in town?

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] It was enlightening to say the least

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I do want to get it to Watson, but we were hired tto find out who, and I'd like to do more than hand over the pearl and some suppositions))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I was wondering if I had a visitor today?

[Su (Master)] not that I am aware of

[Su (Master)] there was the normal mid day crowd,

[Su (Master)] who were you looking for?

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] a young lady I had met when we first arrived.

[Su (Master)] no ladies around this place somone quips up from down the bar

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] oh I dont know there are ladies and then there are ladies

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] do you have any dwarvish ale?

[Su (Master)] another voice, you want two ladies? I can handle three myself

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] only 3 let me know when you can finally handle 6

[Su (Master)] puzzled, dwarvish ale? what is that? rumors about dwarves up north in the mountains I suppose, but what would ale from a rock be like?

[mikE] imari would be up for taking it to watson

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] (( is it ale or beer for dwarves i can never remember?))

[Su (Master)] (it is the dwarves that are the problem grins)

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] oh so youve had Rockstomper ale before?

[Su (Master)] can't say that I have heard of that

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Wow, Guy threw Bob for a loop!))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] one drink and you stomp on every rock you find

[Su (Master)] (was watching people typing and was waiting realized no one was goign to hit enter)

[Su (Master)] hmm

[Su (Master)] that sounds like a good way to hurt your foot

[Su (Master)] but if you think people like it then I will keep an ear otu for it

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] not with a good pair of dwarven boots

[Su (Master)] dwarven again, where do you hear these stories?

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I grew up in the Gold Hills so I spent time around dwarves and halflings

[Su (Master)] really? there are really such things as dwarves?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((He was raised by dwarves. He's actually 6'6", with red hair, and his last name is Ironfoundersson.))

[Su (Master)] are you sure they are not just halfings or gnomes with beards?

[Su (Master)] (grins)

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] dont ever say something like that if you value your inn especially if a dwarf is around

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) shudders at the thought of an angry dwarf loose in a inn where hes been insulted

[Su (Master)] so the rest of your group is out praying and being all holy?

[mikE] are we back at the inn for some reason?

[Su (Master)] (just to do your appraisal and divination stuff, then you can go out to where ever, or wait till morning)

[Master] Time of Day: 08:00 PM. Day 5 Be ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 5th, 339 SKR.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] they are in our room

[Su (Master)] shurgs

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I prefer being among people

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] but I guess Ill have to settle for what I find here

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) chuckles

[Su (Master)] you did not seem to do so well with the Prince last night

[Su (Master)] do you really like people that much?

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I dont like the prince, he reminds me too much of my father

[Su (Master)] I thought women were the only ones with Daddy issues

[Su (Master)] guess is was different in your house

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] just a bit different

[Master] ?

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((sorry decided to think twice abvout saying what i was gonna say lol))

[Master] Ok, I am going to go grab a drink, you guys can figure out what you want to finish up

[Master] brb

[Master] I am away from the keyboard.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((be nice if we could find the little thief.))

[Master] I am back at the keyboard.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((id go out looking but a place liek this probably has a curfew))

[Kristelle (Kaz)] So, do we just want to go to Watson with our assumptions? I'm sure he can find out if the Duke is alive.))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sandeford says he is in with the church council - he may know)

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Good point))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we can wait in watson until tomorrow and see gelder too)

[Master] so spending the night here at the Inn then ?

[Master] visit Gelder?

[Master] or?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I guess we'll visit Gelder, then go to Sandeford again, then to Watson?))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that sounds good.)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (and maybe Foriso will run into his thief friend as we wander the streets)

[Master] Time of Day: 07:00 AM. Day 6 Pen ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 6th, 339 SKR.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((We can only hope))

[Master] and it is morning

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) heads downstairs yawning

[Master] you travel through the streets to get to Gelers, do you want to try and get Lestrade to come with you?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Lestrade))

[Master] is that an afirmative or a negative?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Yes))

[Master] Ok so you walk across the city to Gelders again

[Gelder (Master)] HELLO AGAIN, ARE YOU HERE TO BUY TODAY?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Perhaps. I'd like to ask you about something, first, though.

[Gelder (Master)] WHAT IS THAT? DID YOU FIND MY GNOMES?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] One of them is dead, he died yesterday.

[Gelder (Master)] YA YA YOU BROUGHT STRINGS

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Can you tell us what the Duke's necklace looks like? Aside from being gold.

[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Spells - CHANGED: Read Magic -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Magic Missile -- # Memorized: +1 (+3), CHANGED: Detect Magic - Wizard -- # Memorized: +1 (+0), CHANGED: Maximillian's Stony Grasp -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Whip o' Pain -- # Memorized: +1 (+2),

[Gelder (Master)] NO, BUT THERE IS A DRAWING I CAN FIND

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Please?

[Gelder (Master)] and he goes to his cabinets and ruffles through paperwork

[Gelder (Master)] AHHH

[Gelder (Master)] pulls out a small scrap of a scroll

[Gelder (Master)] HERE THIS PIECES HERE

[Gelder (Master)] and points out the scroll work on the corner,

Kristelle (Kaz) looks at the picture.

[Gelder (Master)] THIS HERE IS WHAT THE CHAIN LOOKS LIKE

[Gelder (Master)] is a square "greek key" cut of interlocking links

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Beautiful work.

[Gelder (Master)] YA YA SHE LIKE IT

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Any gems in it?

[Gelder (Master)] YOU WANT ONE LIKE IT?

[Gelder (Master)] I CAN MAKE ONE SIMILAR FOR YOU

[Gelder (Master)] NO NO GEMS JUST GOLD

[Kristelle (Kaz)] It's lovely, but I wouldn't want to copy the Duke's necklace.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Tell me, have you made anything recently with pearls?

[Gelder (Master)] PEARLS ARE RARE

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Pearls are very pretty.

[Gelder (Master)] NO SO MANY AROUND

Kristelle (Kaz) nods to Gelder.

[Gelder (Master)] HOW ABOUT A NICE RUBY INSTEAD?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] So, you haven't created anything recently with pearls, at all?

[Gelder (Master)] pulls out a small robin egg sized ruby from his pocket

Kristelle (Kaz) raises an eyebrow. "Beautiful."

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] very nice

[Gelder (Master)] THIS LOOK GOOD IN NECKLACE

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] may i take a closer look at that?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] It would, yes. So, are you saying you've made nothing recently that has pearls in it?

[Gelder (Master)] shakes his head, NO I NOT LET YOU TAKE THIS

[Gelder (Master)] NO NO PEARLS IN SHOP LATELY

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Oh, well. A girl can dream.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Flexing a bicep, lol))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] no no you can keep hold of it I merely wanted to look closely at it

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to Master only)] id like to appraise that for him

[Gelder (Master)] he squints at you then holds it out so you can see it

[Gelder (Master)] you can make that roll

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy) (to GM only)] Foriso Fairhand: Appraising check: (d20) [1d20=14] 14 - ROLL SUCCEEDED against 16!!

[Gelder (Master) (to Guy only)] it is worth about 250 gp

[Master] Time of Day: 08:30 AM. Day 6 Pen ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 6th, 339 SKR.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] very nice how much did you pay for that?

[Gelder (Master)] I TOOK IT FROM A THIEF ON THE STREET

[Gelder (Master)] HE THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH MORE THAN HIS HAND WAS

[Gelder (Master)] shrugs I KEEP IT TO SEE IF HE COME BACK FOR IT

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] somehow I think he wont be back for it

[Gelder (Master)] LAUGHS NO NOT MANY ONE HANDED THIEVES AROUND

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Id be careful about showing that though wouldnt want the wrong people to see it

[Gelder (Master)] PEOPLE KNOW GELDER HAS THE BEST

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] which is why you should be careful

[Gelder (Master)] YOU WANT TO BUY ANYTHING TODAY?

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Is there merchandise displayed?))

[Gelder (Master)] (not really, some people painting in the production line, )

[Gelder (Master)] (this is more of a warehouse not a gallery)

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Have you any Letizia busts, even if they're not the plaster ones?

[Gelder (Master)] I HAVE THE ORIGINAL MARBLE ONE

[Gelder (Master)] THAT WE TRIED TO MAKE THE COPIES OF

[Gelder (Master)] I GUESS THAT WILL NOT WORK OUT WELL NOW

Kristelle (Kaz) nods. "How much do you want for it?"

[Gelder (Master)] 50,000 GOLD PIECES

[Kristelle (Kaz)] I mean, since it's really not going to help you any more.

[Gelder (Master)] IT IS THE LAST BUST

Kristelle (Kaz) quirks a smile.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] doesnt the mages guild have a bust?

[Gelder (Master)] THEY MIGHT HAVE A COPY

[Gelder (Master)] BUT THIS IS THE LAST ONE THAT SHE MADE BEFORE SHE DIED SO THE ORIGINAL IS A GOOD THING

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Well, as the last original, it's definitely deserving of a better home than what we could give it. Perhaps I will purchase something else, on another day, before we leave.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Anyone else who'd like to chime in...))

[Gelder (Master)] (the half elf Devine is the orginal artist)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (this is odd and makes it seem like there is no connection to the duke. or am I missing something?)

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I don't think you're missing anything, unless we're all missing it.))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((we all assumed there was a connection))

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Yay for Mike's "pearl smuggling" idea.))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (we still have a dead would be thief at the mage guild - no more busts around that aren't protected. we could call it a day perhaps)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (as far as the case is concerned. I realize it is early morning)

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((Might behoove us to ask Sandeford if anyone has been around, asking about his bust))

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I'd hate to neglect that, then have someone come after us because they know we've got the pearl and they want it.))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sure. we've got the copper)

[Master] Time of Day: 09:15 AM. Day 6 Pen ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 6th, 339 SKR.

[Sandeford (Master)] Hello again,

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] hello Sandeford

[Sandeford (Master)] holding out his offering bowl

[Sandeford (Master)] here for more insults?

Indigo (Lisa) edges over behind Imari and Branwyn to avoid Sandeford's eye

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) grins at Sandeford

Kristelle (Kaz) chuckles and lets the silver pieces fall in the bowl.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Just a question, really.

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) glances at Indigo and winks

[Sandeford (Master)] what sort of question?

[Sandeford (Master)] glances at Indigo quickly then back to Kristelle

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Has anyone been here since we were, asking about the Letizia bust?

[Sandeford (Master)] no no one came over night

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Nor last night, nor this morning?

[Sandeford (Master)] I have a fine figure of Athena if you would like

Kristelle (Kaz) smiles.

[Sandeford (Master)] complete with a spear up her butt

Kristelle (Kaz) laughs outright.

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) laughs

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I bet that has her worshippers seeing red

[Sandeford (Master)] I do hope to make a fair coin on it

[Kristelle (Kaz)] I have no doubt you will.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] lets hope they throw rocks at the statue and not you

[Sandeford (Master)] sancuary my fine elven lad

Kristelle (Kaz) smirks.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Sanctuary certainly lets people get away with normally unforgivable behaviour.

[Sandeford (Master)] it is the glue that holds the town together

[Sandeford (Master)] or the rope that binds our hands

Kristelle (Kaz) nods.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] A bit of both, I'd say.

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) glares at Sanderford for a moment then relaxes

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] calling me an elf is like calling you a vampire both are quite inaccurate since we both have a sense of humour and not sticks up our butts.

[Sandeford (Master)] oh I doubt that stick is far enough up your butt yet

[Kristelle (Kaz)] After all, he's not a popsicle.

Indigo (Lisa) looks at Foriso and starts to shake a bit backing away towards the wall

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Indigo, are you okay?

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] that and I like cities and not trees

[Indigo (Lisa)] Ummm... I'm fine. Everything is just fine.

Kristelle (Kaz) eyes Indigo dubiously, then shrugs.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] You'd tell me if something was wrong, right?

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] cities are more fun and theres a lot more people to insult like princes

[Indigo (Lisa)] If I could I would ... I mean yes there's nothing wrong

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Okay, then.

Kristelle (Kaz) gives Indigo a strange look, then turns back to the conversation at hand.

Sandeford (Master) watching Indigo

[Kristelle (Kaz)] So, no one has mentioned us at all, either?

[Sandeford (Master)] no it has been a quiet day

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) carefully looks between sandeford and indigo

[Sandeford (Master)] only a couple of petitioners

Kristelle (Kaz) lets her gaze go from Sandeford back to Indigo, and back to Sandeford.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Well, then.

Indigo (Lisa) starts rifling through his pouch as if to look for something just to avoid everyone all together

[mikE] ::grabs indigo's ear and begins pulling him toward the door::

[Kristelle (Kaz)] I guess we'll be off. Sorry we didn't get to verbally torture you about your facial resemblance to a mule's ass.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Hey! Stop it!

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Kristelle Ill meet you back at the Inn theres a couple of things i need to take care of

[Kristelle (Kaz)] But, don't worry. I'm sorry that horrific boil on your neck will heal soon.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Oh, wait... that's your head.

[mikE] "Come here."

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Sure thing, Foriso.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] We're leaving now, anyway.

[Indigo (Lisa)] You could just ask me you know.

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) waits till the others leave

[Sandeford (Master)] and two men burst into the church

[mikE] "This is me asking."

[Sandeford (Master)] throw copper at Sandeford

[mikE] we should stab them on principle before they get sanctuary

[Sandeford (Master)] three of the city watch come running up behind them

[Sandeford (Master)] and stop at the doors to the church

[Sandeford (Master)] Sandeford, looks out, smiles, you are welcome to come in gentlemen if you have the coin

[Sandeford (Master)] they grumble and move across the street to lean on the wall across the way

Indigo (Lisa) rubs his ear and looks up at Imari questioningly

Kristelle (Kaz) hesitates, narrows her eyes, then leans against the wall.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] busy day now

Sandeford (Master) shrugs

[mikE] "Come."

[Kristelle (Kaz)] How much time have I got left, old cod-face? I'm growing rather inured to the stench of boiled cabbage you call perfume.

[Indigo (Lisa)] All right

Indigo (Lisa) follows Imari

[Sandeford (Master)] oh I am sure you can afford to stay here as long as you want

[mikE] ::goes outside::

[mikE] "Why are you acting strange?"

[Sandeford (Master)] our mother pays you well to stay away I am sure

Indigo (Lisa) kicks the dirt a bit looking down

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Oh, don't get all sensitive on me. Are you sure that's a stick up Athena's butt, and not you?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I can't say anything. I promised.

[Indigo (Lisa)] But it really is okay. At least I think so.

[Indigo (Lisa)] That church is just... just... strange.

[mikE] "Promised who?"

[Sandeford (Master)] I do hope your boots are big enough for you, when your inflated ego pops you will need something to land in

[Indigo (Lisa)] Sandeford. I promised him.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] Don't worry, I'll still be larger than your intellect.

[Sandeford (Master)] I am sure you will be,

[Sandeford (Master)] I would never argue that you would ever be anything but large

[Indigo (Lisa)] But it's going to be fine. He can be nice even... is strange. And soon we wil go home and never come back and it will all be good.

Kristelle (Kaz) leans toward Sandeford and speaks in a very low voice. "All insults aside, my young friend seems suddenly afraid. If you have hurt him, or if you try, no amount of Sanctuary will save you from my wrath."

[mikE] "So why were you acting strangely toward Foriso?"

Kristelle (Kaz) leans back and smiles genially.

[mikE] "I don't particularly like him, either."

[Indigo (Lisa)] Foriso makes everybody mad at us.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] I'll always be larger than your sense of self-esteem. I'm not worried.

[Indigo (Lisa)] I don't want Sandeford mad at us.

[Sandeford (Master)] leans right back and if he has said what I think he has no place on this earth will be far enough away to stop me from getting my revenge

[mikE] "He does have the people skills of a grumpy badger."

[mikE] "So Sandeford is something that we should be frightened of?"

[Kristelle (Kaz)] He's said nothing. But he was fine until we came back in here.

[Kristelle (Kaz)] What is it that he might have said?

[Sandeford (Master)] sniffs

Kristelle (Kaz) narrows her eyes.

[Indigo (Lisa)] Everyone here is someone to be frightened of. That Prince almost killed Foriso already

[Indigo (Lisa)] These priest type people here aren't like you and Miranda

[Kristelle (Kaz)] I don't care if you're a thief or a killer who hides as a priest. I don't care if the Gods themselves seek to destroy you. I don't care if you are a God.

[Sandeford (Master)] I am not a priest, I have no morals

[Indigo (Lisa)] We just need to be careful

[Kristelle (Kaz)] He's my family, and being in your presence makes him nervous today. Yesterday he was fine.

[Sandeford (Master)] holds out the offering bowl, time is almost up

[mikE] the prince almost killed foriso? did i know that?

Kristelle (Kaz) flips a few more copper in.

[Indigo (Lisa)] (technically I wasn't there but I am assuming Indigo knows about it?)

Kristelle (Kaz) speaks quietly.

[Sandeford (Master)] (yes)

[Kristelle (Kaz)] I don't care who or what you are, as long as you don't hurt my family.

[Sandeford (Master)] snorts

[Kristelle (Kaz)] King, beggar, god, or demon... leave him be.

[Sandeford (Master)] and turns his back to Kristelle to talk with teh two men who ran in

Kristelle (Kaz) leans against the wall and stares at the busts of the gods, appearing to pay no attention to anyone else.

[mikE] why did the prince do that?

[mikE] besides foriso is annoying?

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (just because Foriso is annoying)

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((because Foriso can't let an hour go by without insulting someone))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((because the prince pissed off foriso by acting like his father))

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (nothing spectacular - high powered priest could kill with word and with foriso the words kept coming til almost breaking point of prince)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] (wasn't like an actual fight)

[mikE] ::goes to the guards::

[mikE] "Who are those men?"

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((hey now its been almost 3 hours and I havent insulted anybody))

[Master] Two cut throats that jumped off a boat on the south docks

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yes you have been very good today)

[Master] no, just about got Indigo killed but not insulted

[Indigo (Lisa)] (lol)

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((kristelle is the one who got sandeford mad not me ))

[mikE] "they kill someone?"

[Master] they both have brands on their cheek for killing someone

[Master] so they must have done something wrong

[Master] and they ran

[Master] good enough for me

[mikE] ::opens the church door::

[mikE] "We done here?"

[Master] (and Mike what happened there was Sandeford and Indigo had a conversation last time they were togther, Indigo promised never to tell anyone who Sandeford was and then Foriso called him a Vampire right in front of Indigo and teh group)

Kristelle (Kaz) turns to look at Imari, and shrugs. "Sure."

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Ill be along in a bit I need to talk to sandeford

Sandeford (Master) rolls his eyes, and what do you have to say little elven boy

Kristelle (Kaz) steps out of the church and walks over to Indigo.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] not looking for a fight merely some information

[Sandeford (Master)] you adn your group do not seem to be the type to actually think about things

[Sandeford (Master)] what could you possibly want to know

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) walks over to Sandeford and whispers in his ear "Im looking for some thieves"

[Sandeford (Master)] shrugs, for what purpose?

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] a little teaching

[Sandeford (Master)] perhaps, where are you staying and I can have someone visit you

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((where are we staying? lol))

[mikE] over there

[Sandeford (Master)] the Brother Teen Friar's Inn

[Sandeford (Master)] in the Town Square district

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) whispers to Sandeford " the brother teen friars inn"

[Sandeford (Master)] very well

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] oh and I dont know what Indigo promised you but he hasnt said a word about it.

[Sandeford (Master)] it is easy enough to find out

[Master] Time of Day: 10:00 AM. Day 6 Pen ___ de, Sin {Late Summer} 6th, 339 SKR.

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) looks sandeford straight in the eyes.

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] I may do a lot of things but I wont lie to people that I like.

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) shrugs "and in this whole city Ive only met a couple people I like and for some reason you are one of them"

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((LOL! Guy always takes a shine to the most unlikely people))

[Sandeford (Master)] rattles the collection bowl

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) tosses a couple copper in the bowl

[Sandeford (Master)] the two men look at each other and nods

[Sandeford (Master)] then they RUSH out the door and each runs in a separate direction

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Ill bet you a silver they both make it

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) grins at Sandeford

[Sandeford (Master)] the city watch gives chase

[Sandeford (Master)] he shakes his head, I doubt they last long

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((forsio is terrified of the treant but likes the vampire lol))

[Indigo (Lisa)] (but would he like him if he knew he was a vampire)

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((more than likely))

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] Sandeford I hope youre new business with the rock throwing goes well.

Foriso Fairhand (Guy) waves and heads outside

[mikE] ::goes inside::

[Master] rattles the bowl

[mikE] ::peers closely at him::

[mikE] "Don't want sanctuary."

[Sandeford (Master)] then you can not be in here

[mikE] ::takes one step outside::

[mikE] ::peers again::

[mikE] "You say you do not lie."

[mikE] "Assuming this is true, whatever you have told Indigo is quite frightening."

[mikE] "What did you tell him?"

[Sandeford (Master)] he will take that to his grave

[Sandeford (Master)] there is no reason for me to speak of it

[Sandeford (Master)] and closes the church doors

[mikE] ::opens them::

[mikE] "But I'm curious."

[Sandeford (Master)] no answer

[mikE] ::steps inside again::

[Sandeford (Master)] holds out the bowl

[mikE] ::holds out a silver piece:: "Got change?"

[Sandeford (Master)] sure

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((and you people talk about me picking fights))

[mikE] ::tries to place the silver piece in his hand::

[Kristelle (Kaz)] ((I wasn't picking a fight, just issuing a warning. And Imari isn't picking a fight, just being nosy.))

[Sandeford (Master)] reaches into the snake pit and pulls out some copper to drop in Imari's hand holding the bowl with the other

[mikE] eh, she's not picking a fight. this is the first thing in this bloody town to pique her interest

[mikE] ::peers at him and moves to place the silver in his hand again::

[mikE] what color are his eyes?

[Sandeford (Master)] (he does not have a hand to put it in, one has the bowl, one has copper coins)

[Sandeford (Master)] they seem to be grey blue

[Sandeford (Master)] hard to tell in teh shadows in here

[Sandeford (Master)] no windows

[Sandeford (Master)] or light coming in from the doorway

[mikE] his fingers inside the lip of the bowl?

[Sandeford (Master)] no

[mikE] holds out her hand for the copper

[Sandeford (Master)] rattles the bowl

[mikE] places it in

[Sandeford (Master)] or you will have to leave

[Sandeford (Master)] drops the copper into Imari's hand

[mikE] "Demon, were-creature, or vampire?"

[Sandeford (Master)] dumps the silver into the snake pit

[Sandeford (Master)] merely looks at Imari

[mikE] ::squats and twirls her spear::

[Sandeford (Master)] vulture raven or rat with wings

[mikE] "You don't like the touch of silver I'm guessing."

[mikE] "You must be a scary creature to frighten Indigo."

[mikE] "Either that, or you fancy him, I suppose."

[Sandeford (Master)] I had thought he was a good man, perhaps I was wrong

[mikE] "He only said he wouldn't speak of you because you frightened him."

[mikE] "And that made me interested. You are the first thing to interest me in this blighted city."

[mikE] "I do not know why people imprison themselves in such lifeless walls and claim to be happy."

[mikE] is it a full moon any time sooon?

[Sandeford (Master)] there is always a moon growing full

[mikE] not ic bob

[mikE] no quotes

[mikE] there a full moon soon?

[Sandeford (Master)] there was one last night

[Sandeford (Master)] there will be another in 10 days

[Sandeford (Master)] then another in 12 days after that

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

[mikE] and we were here with him last night, right?

[Sandeford (Master)] yes

[Indigo (Lisa)] (thought we left before nightfall)

[Sandeford (Master)] well during the day not at night

[Sandeford (Master)] left around 7

[mikE] "I wish I was here last night to see if you turned furry."

[mikE] "Will you tell me what you are?"

[Sandeford (Master)] no, I have said what i am not

[mikE] "Not a priest."

[mikE] "Why would you tell Indigo and not me? Were you trying to scare him?"

[Sandeford (Master)] It seems I should not have said anything to him at all

[Indigo (Lisa)] (no kidding!)

[mikE] "Of course not. If you have a secret you shouldn't tell anyone. That is foolish."

[mikE] "But you did, and now I am curious."

[Sandeford (Master)] that is true, and the only way to fully quash it will be to eliminate anyone who knows it,

[Sandeford (Master)] is that how you and your group woudl solve this dilema?

[mikE] "That might also be foolish."

[mikE] "I'll make sure to have silver, wood, and iron on hand."

[Indigo (Lisa)] (yup - makes sense to me - thanks guys)

[mikE] lol

[mikE] welcome!

[mikE] "Or you could tell me. I won't bother to tell anyone else, either."

[mikE] "I am simply curious."

[Sandeford (Master)] many cats used to be curious as well

[mikE] "But I am the raven."

[Sandeford (Master)] if you will be flying around here I will be sure to aquire a suitable piece of oak for my church

[mikE] "Perhaps I will be back to bother you again. But it would seem you will not be forthcoming today."

[mikE] what are the doorhandles made out of?

[Sandeford (Master)] \stone

[mikE] any iron in evidence?

[Sandeford (Master)] no

[mikE] "Goodbye for now odd not priest."

[mikE] "I suggest you guard your secret better."

[Sandeford (Master)] closes the doors

[Master] ok

[Master] so I guess next week we will be doing encounters

[Master] ratehr than training

[Foriso Fairhand (Guy)] ((thanks mike lol))

[Indigo (Lisa)] since vampire is going to come kill us now

[Indigo (Lisa)] this is so bad

[Master] no reason to let you live

[Indigo (Lisa)] Bob - seriously

[Indigo (Lisa)] next time you have a secret for my character - use the phone

[Master] sorry

[Guy] roflmao

[Indigo (Lisa)] I would NEVER have told anyone if it wasn't in chat

[Indigo (Lisa)] this sucks

[Master] yes it does

[mikE] this is pretty lame

[mikE] why would he tell indigo

[Master] can not believe peopel are so stupid to want to take him on

[mikE] and not expect people to get curious when he acts weird

[Master] shrugs

[mikE] don't want to take him on

[mikE] how did you get that?

[Indigo (Lisa)] no one trusts Indigo either

[mikE] foriso said i like you, help me out

[mikE] indigo DIDN'T say anything

[Master] no foriso said Vampire right in front of Indigo

[mikE] and imari stated she's bored and he's curious

[Master] just pulled it out of thin air?

[Indigo (Lisa)] I know - I don't get it

[Guy] the sad thing is i honestly didnt think about it when i said vampire

[Indigo (Lisa)] I shouldn't have pulled back in the room - I didn't know it would get that reaction

[Master] I will have to consider resources, etc.

[Master] of course you can always just make a run for the Mists

[Master] that hides the divination

[Lisa] no - how about this

[Lisa] I was going to to that anyway before it was going to become a death sentence

[Lisa] sigh

[Lisa] Indigo will go face him and take what comes

[Lisa] that's it

[Kristelle (Kaz)] How ridiculous

[Lisa] better than someone else dying

[Lisa] was my mistake

[Kaz] I say we just stop roleplaying. Heaven forbid anyone should be protective or curious.

[Lisa] I should have just not done anything in the room and no one would have remembered

[mikE] yup. i'll just sit here and not play imari

[Kaz] And that wouldn't have been true to Indigo's character, wouldit?

[mikE] shout if you need her spells

[Master] Ok, so I take it that is a wrap for the night then

[mikE] yeah. pretty much.

[Kaz] I'd say so

[mikE] since us being in character and roleplaying is taken as a hostile action

[mikE] i think i get in more trouble doing that than ever actually going into combat

mikE has left the game on Fri Apr 29 22:44:55 EDT 2011

[Kaz] Good night all.

Kaz has left the game on Fri Apr 29 22:45:44 EDT 2011
