[Master] Hello
[Lisa] Hello
[Master] I have not heard from Mario or Michael
[Master] Lord Branadarus's Current Hit Points: adjusted to 52 (3) - Unharmed
[Master] did you agree with my list on the site?
[Lisa] I think so
[Master] and the travel journal?

[Master] Hello there
[Lisa] I can't really disagree with it can I?
[Lisa] Hi Mario
[Mario] Hello hello!
[Mario] I hope my Keystone Kop from last week wasnt too buffoonish
[Master] not at all
[Lisa] you get to play him again
[Lisa] :)
[Mario] I was aiming for "Dolts from Holy Grail and the Witch Hunt"
[Master] was up to Branwyn if she wants him up here for the morning report
[Mario] yay!!
[Lisa] not for our private meeting
[Master] ok
[Lisa] but he said he wanted a reward and branwyn has questions
[Lisa] I posted some weird thoughts in her head
[Lisa] so I hope Mario has a backstory for Patron Withorn
[Mario] yikes! I will...
[Lisa] :)
[Mario] checking the site now
[Lisa] Bob will hopefully tell you whether I am just way off base or not
[Lisa] I probably am
[Lisa] but I actually woke up Saturday morning and thought of the anagram
[Lisa] must have been swimming around in my brain in my sleep
[Master] while I wish I could take credit for the anagram I cannot
[Lisa] too bad - could have had another mystery solved
[Master] that would have been a great twist
[Master] and so Lisa I take it you did not like the travel diary post
[Lisa] It was fine
[Lisa] one of these months you will post that he comes back
[Mario] (sorry but the website is dragging on to load, and it says the connection was reset I think its my PC gonna reboot. brb
[Master] we will see

[Master] better now Mario?
[Mario] oh wow, hight and day
[Master] good
[Master] there is the post by Lisa in the In Character threads
[Master] and the post by me in the Player Communication thread
[Lisa] you don't have to read mine - bob said it had nothing to do with anything
[Master] there is the one about Indigo's travels but that apparently is not important so we can skip it for now
[Lisa] her character will just ask you questions and you can say whatever :)
[Master] and I only said that I did not intend for the anagram
[Master] the rest is good roleplay
[Mario] Well, considering how much BG i have on the Patron, I will have to make ALL of it up! Thats the fun part of this for me
[Mario] i only fear i say something contrary with known facts, or detrimental to the course of the game
[Mario] il rely on Bob to steer it back proper
[Mario] good luck Bob!
[Master] the broad strokes for you Mario is yes you have actual spell casting ability, you need it to be able to achieve that rank, but that does not mean you are intelligent, or have experience in anything other than spell casting
[Mario] i gathered that from last week
[Master] you can pick what he has focused on with his life
[Master] flowers? rocks? painting?
[Master] anything you dream up
[Mario] i have NO idea what types of spells I can cast. I dont know if a Truth spell is for a priest,. or a magic user
[Master] Zone of Truth is a priest spell
[Master] no clue if you have it
TMO has joined the game on Fri Apr 29 19:41:41 EDT 2016

TMO has received the map Base Map.
[Master] will have to check that
[Mario] remember, i fall down, go squish
[Master] LOL
[TMO] I am away from the keyboard.
[Master] but once TMO is settled in I did want to take a moment to have people toss around ideas on what and how to proceed out of character
[Master] I think i reduced down the clutter of all the threads to the bare esentials
[Master] going with the idea that the players are fed up with the city and all these complications and just want to go back home
[Mario] ah, I see the anagram now, Lisa. What a memory you have to remember Ronwith the chats show that from July of last year!
[Lisa] Ronwith had been nagging me since we haven't done anything with it
[Lisa] And I was not kidding about waking up with it.
[Mario] lol
[Lisa] Woke up - hadn't gotten out of bed and suddenly I thought Ronwith and Withorn
[Lisa] no clue
[Lisa] so i posted about early morning strange thoughts
[Mario] Bobby should have taken credit, and ran with it, would have been brilliant
[Master] it was good
[Master] nah there is already Ronwith clues set up
[Master] are
[Lisa] we just don't have any yet
[Master] I did that hmmm early 2015 late 2014
[Master] part of that is talkign it out now out of character
[Master] figure otu what you know how you can find more, etc.
[Master] then figure out how to do that in character
[Master] so Mario are you all caught up on those two posts?
[Mario] almost
[Master] take your time
[Master] we need to think out the questions, stories, etc.
[Master] talk about how to move forward
[Mario] Just finished Lisa's entry. you have a gift, Lisa, a true guft
[Lisa] thank you
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[TMO] what do you need from me?
[Master] first off welcome TMO
[Lisa] $M
[TMO] sorry, was eating mah McDonalds
[Lisa] money and lots of it
[Master] then did you get to read the posts?
[Lisa] Hello TMO
[Lisa] :)
[TMO] I'm eating McDonalds - I don't have any $
[Lisa] lol
[TMO] how's stuff, folks?
[Master] I am decent
[Master] got our HTC Vive in at the library.... two weeks earlier than expected
[Master] the PC to run it on will not be in till mid May
[Mario] easy week, my boss was on vacation, and we have 95% confirmation i will still have a job!
[TMO] so it can look pretty on a shelf
[Master] and that is very good Mario
[Lisa] very good news!
[TMO] I got to spend this morning debugging my boss's work while she was on vacation
[Mario] eww lol
[Master] so to move forward, there are the things on that list to work out
[Master] and one reason I think progress is not being made is no one is talking about what you know and do not know and more importantly how to find out things
[Mario] well, as far as the barbers, i think we realize that quest is a random stab in the dark, and our party is fairly weak.
[Master] so the Murder got help last week and more tonight
[Mario] even if we knew the whereabouts of the unicorn, are we strong enough to get one, and survive?
[Master] nods, Barber now is a question of getting the group saved and return them back to the City
[Master] giving up on finding any unicorns
[Mario] thats my opinion anyway
[Lisa] how is branwyn going to send them to get a wand from the undead if they can't even find a horned horsie?
[Master] Indigo has approximately 400 miles still to travel before he returns back to the Residence
[TMO] wands don't usually walk away and hide behind trees
[Master] but of course at any time Branwyn can teleport to him, snatch him up and teleport home
[Mario] ya, if the party doesnt have explicit directions or gps, we;re kinda shaky
[Lisa] Indigo wouldn't let her do that unless he was on his way home by himself
[Lisa] and even then they would have to leave the horse stranded
[Master] yes but if the situation is desperate
[Master] for what ever reason
[Master] that is up to how you want Branwyn to do things
[Lisa] it would have to be desperate
[Master] but out of character that are the things that Indigo will have happen
[Master] and the Ships for Drillian
[Master] and the Sam's parentage
[Lisa] and how much of the murder do we want to delve into
[Lisa] find priest of Hades and assassin for hire?
[Master] Mario? TMO? these are questions for you
[Master] the Players have to decide
[Master] so I know what to do from my side
[Lisa] they are general questions
[TMO] on the site?
[Master] no talk about them here
[Master] no one is discussing anything on the site
[Master] so at least the three of you can make some decisions
[Master] kick around ideas
[Master] how to deal with how to solve, what to do
[Master] is everyone just fed up with the city and the complications and wants to go home?
[Master] and just damn the circumstances
[Lisa] does tmo even know what happened last week with the murder wrapping up?
[TMO] I read it, but need to review
[Master] talk not review
[Master] that can happen later
[TMO] the two pirests
[TMO] hired an assassin
[Master] well one greek priestess hired an assassin
[Master] the kayugan priest is in love with her
[Lisa] on orders from a priest of hades
[Master] and apparently the feeling is mutual
[Lisa] branwyn can't leave without a replacement
[Lisa] she wouldn't
[Lisa] but this was the main thing she was tasked with
[TMO] yah, I don't know that we need to just bail completely - we just need to pare back the many plot threads going on. Whether thats fewer threads offered to us, or us being more discerning about which ones we do.
[Lisa] no other PCs were here except her to decide what to do
[Lisa] so they are locked in basement and to be turned over to Royal Guard/prison and not the Celestry
[TMO] makes sense
[Lisa] there is still the possible Crusade issue
[Master] Mario are you thinking? or typing?
[Lisa] and Withorn played it that the Celestry had sent priests out on a hunting party for Waverlyn's killer
[Lisa] kind of odd wasn't it?
[Mario] im typing an exit strategy. it causes more trouble than it fixes, but then we wouldnt have to worry about any of these story lines any more
[Lisa] lol
[TMO] no, you're not allowed to fake all our deaths
[Mario] not thaty i have ANY issue with any of these. im just happy to be playing!
[Mario] rofl, no..but here goes...
[Mario] as an exit plan, can we commandeer the Dryadian navy and sail it to Drillian, and claim the ships as our own, Drillian? Think about it. Dryad would have no navy, so we'd be safe! Of course, we would have a bad relationship wth Dryads Liar...but...
[Lisa] lol
[Mario] if we left w no Ambassador, it wouldnt matter anyway
[Lisa] it would when we got home and had to say hello to the queen
[Mario] damn, i knew i shouldnt type by brain dumps
[Lisa] it's fun
[TMO] no worries - no bad ideas
[Master] we need that
[Master] we need lots of potential ideas
[Lisa] also fun in that no one has sailing skills
[Master] not even Indigo
[Lisa] he has boats
[Master] who is a Captain in Drillian's navy
[Lisa] so we could steal a canoe or a skiff
[Lisa] :)
[Mario] like Patron Withorn with no skills in spell casting!!
[TMO] and how many of us can actually swim?
[TMO] 0:)
[Mario] armored floaties for all!
[TMO] I want a kevlar ducky
[Lisa] that would be fun

mharmon9 has received the map Base Map.
[Master] and hello Michael
[mharmon9] hey guys.
[mharmon9] also
[Lisa] but we can siscuss with Admiral Olana about buying some of his empty patrol boats
[mharmon9] I am here, but I am taking a final
[TMO] hello
[Lisa] speak of the devil :)
[Mario] so we agree that Barber is a rescue mission for the party, and the horn is out?
[Lisa] no cheating
[mharmon9] I am not
[TMO] yah, think so
[Mario] Hey Michael
[TMO] C for everything
[Lisa] I'm teasing
[mharmon9] however, I am here, just I wont be totally involved for another hour
[mharmon9] Fair?
[Lisa] of course
[Master] for sure Michael, discussing ideas for solving the various threads out of character
[mharmon9] Unless you can tell me multiple derivations for multivariable calculus?
[mharmon9] JK
[TMO] BS in Math
[Master] Wolfram Alpha for all your calculus needs
[Master] OR TMO
[Master] your choice
[mharmon9] Yeah, the problem with that cheating, is that It doesn' tteach me how to do it again.
[TMO] not used derivatives since graduating though.
[Lisa] pick C
[mharmon9] and nah, I don't cheat
[Lisa] answer is usually C
[Master] e=mc2
[mharmon9] So without further ado, I am watching, but yeah...not really involved for another hour. Also lol bob
[Lisa] do they have multiple choice calculus tests?
[mharmon9] Nope
[mharmon9] show all work, even online
[Lisa] scrath the C idea then
[mharmon9] less stressful though taking it at homje
[mharmon9] that's for sure
[Master] OK so jumping to a different thread while the navy one marinates for people
[Lisa] wil let you do maths
[Master] Ronwith
[Lisa] one last thing on the navy
[Master] go for it
[Lisa] weren't we supposed to host a group of merchants from RiversBend, ship capital of the world?
[Master] yes you have that option
[Lisa] I was thinking of discussing it with them too
[Master] that would be a very smart thing
[Lisa] no one said we had to get the ships from here
[TMO] Isn't Olana's problem people, not ships? Or am I confused?
[Master] or from a different principality other than Dryads Lair
[Lisa] he said that patrol boats were sitting empty with no one to patrol with them
[Lisa] so we could solve the problem by taking those boats off his hands
[Lisa] :)
[TMO] Drillian is wanting ships?
[Lisa] yes
[TMO] had missed that
[Mario] that was my tjhought, just on a grander scale...
[Lisa] was Indigo's mission but he isn't good at those missions
[Lisa] was an original taske when we first ventured here
[Lisa] If she would have said Indigo go kill an army of ogres he would be done by now
[Lisa] but go negotiate for a queendom - not really his skill set
[TMO] buying ships from Olana not a bad idea - gives him money and takes away some of his costs.
[Lisa] so we have a couple paths for that
[Master] TMO any ideas on the Ronwith front?
[TMO] Ronwith is the assassin-hiring priest?
[Lisa] LOL
[Lisa] sorry
[Master] Mario do you have access to the ancestry.com pages?
[Master] and that is darn funny TMO
[Master] totally in an unintentional way
[Lisa] Ronwith is the name on Lord Sam's baby blanket
[Lisa] and the only clue to his parentage he asked us to find
[TMO] ... I totally missed that plot thread. When did that one come up?
[Mario] i dont hink ive tried the Ancestry.com page
[Lisa] when we were experimenting with TableTop
[Lisa] that exact session
[Mario] may I ask, who is Sam? a search for Sam turned up 1408 pages
[Lisa] so it could have been lost in the weirdness of it all
[Lisa] Lord Sam is Prince Loplin's adopted son
[Mario] ah, sure...uh...
[Lisa] He is a bastard
[TMO] ok, it's ringing a couple of lonely bells, but I hadn't given it any thought for a long while
[Mario] who is Loplim?! lol
[Lisa] Prince Loplin is the Prince of Dryads Lair
[TMO] I need to empty the grocieries out of the car. brb
[Mario] woohoo
[Master] Mario what email do you want me to send the invite to?
[Mario] mariov14@gmail.com
[Lisa] Terraguard is a) one HUGE kingdom
[Mario] aha! i do like the mystery of Ronwith
[Lisa] b) one of three major provinces in the kingdom
[Mario] and its major beownie points if we find this out, maybe enough to bail?
[Lisa] Dryads Lair is another and each province has its own Prince
[Master] and invite sent Mario
[Mario] thank you Lisa!
[Lisa] oh sure :)
[Mario] brownie**
[Master] and yes Lisa has a very good summary there
[Lisa] I really can't let Branwyn leave until she is officially replaced
[Lisa] and that letter isn't going out for one month
[Lisa] so we could realistically expect at least 2 more months of city time I would imagine
[Lisa] to get all this stuff done
[TMO] back
[Lisa] and if people don't like city stuff they can go wand hunting with the undead but at this point that is almost as much a goose chase as the unicorn
[TMO] given we've only been here 2 weeks or so real time, 2 months is plenty
[Lisa] unless I get a nice book delivery
[TMO] :)
[Lisa] oh no - we have been here 2 months already
[Master] chuckles at TMO, it has been over two months so far
[TMO] oh well.
[Lisa] but we are paid up on the house for a year :)
[Master] so overall the power structure is KING OF TERRAGUARD
[Master] under him are the three Principalities
[Lisa] I would like to see him before I go
[Master] Terraguard, Terrabrink, Dryads Lair
[Lisa] sorry - sidequest
[Master] and that is perfectly acceptable
[Master] those are the things that I thought WOULD be happening
[Master] and so Sam Hightower
[Master] is the son of Gregory Loplin, who is the Prince of Dryads Lair
[Lisa] adopted
[Mario] it all makes sense now
[Master] so one key thing to consider, someone has to inherit the throne of TERRAGUARD
[Master] Prince Loplin is very old
[Master] Sam is young
[Mario] wow, so there is MAJOR points for doing this then, i would imagine
[Mario] we could write our own ticket some day
[Master] on the Ancestry page there are all the ages, dates of birth, relationships, etc for everyone in the current ruling families of Terraguard, Drillian and other countries
[Mario] if we survive 39 bugbears, that is
[TMO] so finding out who Ronwith might be able to determine if Sam is eligible to inherit Dryads Lair?
[Master] TERRAGUARD
[Master] the Principalities are appointed by the King
[TMO] ah, two Terraguards, sorry
[TMO] Kingdom and Principailty
[Master] all caps for the overall Kingdom
[Master] to make it easy in chat
[TMO] so how old is the King?
[TMO] Loplin is ruler of DL, King would appoint replacement
[Master] 73
[Master] Prince Loplin is 54
[TMO] King has no heir?
[Master] no one has asked those questions yet
[Lisa] hands somewhat tied as Sam wanted us to use serious discretion in finding out
[Master] info on the ancestry trees,
[Master] and yes to LIsa's point
[Lisa] we have had hints from Loplin that there is a huge power struggle for power
[Lisa] but not elaborated
[Lisa] Loplin wants no part of the game of thrones so to speak
[Mario] im on ancestry.com and i only see one tree with six peeps, four private
[Master] grins
[Master] that is the current Drillian royal family and none should be private for you to not see
[Master] but there is a search function you can use also to check for names,
[Master] Gregory Loplin for example is the Prince of Dryads Lair
[Master] and fixed for you Mario, forgot to check the box to allow you to see living people you were only seeing dead people
[Master] grins
[Mario] creepy///lol
[Lisa] lol
[Lisa] my first response was to quest was let's just ask the prince and sam said no
[Lisa] he doesn't want to hurt his feelings
[Mario] Are the Mosskins like the Lannisters?
[Lisa] so we have to be creative
[Lisa] don't think we are that rich
[Mario] lol
[Master] Multiple things in play there too, the idea that the only father you have known and now you are asking about who your real parents are, Loplin does not want to be part of the royal succession,
[Lisa] or that in debt
[TMO] might be worth sending Marisu and maybe an elf to the library looking for any reference to that name
[mharmon9] I am never going to use this crap again. Almost done
[Master] and if you start to question things and people notice
[Master] and you find out something "interesting" then what will happen
[Master] so the idea was to go about it in a round about manner
[Master] and then it died right there
[Master] no one did anything more
[TMO] yyyeeeaahhhh... we don't do circumspect very well
[Master] but so I say do the Out of Character stuff first
[Lisa] well hellhounds started appearing in the living room
[Master] find out posible answers
[Master] then work back to how the characters could find that out
[Lisa] I don't know priests that well but couldn't they do some divination stuff
[Lisa] I think I did ask at the Royal Library and he said he had nothing but would need a site search to verify
[TMO] ooo! Think our ghosts might know something? This did used to be a palace after all
[Lisa] ok - no I did not
[Lisa] we have to keep doing seances here
[Lisa] I promised the librarian
[Master] TMO knows ancestry better than anyone Mario if you want help looking things up
[Master] did you stumble upon anything so far?
[TMO] just need to make sure we don't ask any awkward questions when outsiders are present
[Mario] i did notice Sams mom's maiden name is Ronwith
[Master] very good
[Mario] and Loplon's mother was a Fart Horn
[Lisa] does she have a first name?
[Mario] Farthorn
[Master] Farthorn and in KIng Francis Farthorn the X
[Mario] Venile
[Lisa] W e had a farthorn visit at a seance
[Master] the current King of TERRAGUARD
[Mario] venile Ronwith, and Lornin Farthorn
[Lisa] so we know already?
[Master] out of character by searching the trees
[TMO] Dwan Jarvis
[Master] would be the father
[TMO] Jarvis and Ronwith marked as biological parents
[Lisa] that sucks
[Master] oh?
[Lisa] kind of like asking us to write a mystery novel after being handed the last page
[Master] partially it is trying to help you figure out how to ask questions
[Lisa] Okay the butler did it
[Lisa] explain
[TMO] Jarvis is a butler
[Lisa] lol
[Master] and even knowing that then you still need to get the questions, get the answers, then present your findings
[Master] and then find out how it all fits
[Master] why I bothered to set this all up back in 2014
[Mario] (im so confused, didnt Dwan Jarvis get drafted first round yesterday?)
[Lisa] but if we know it was someone in place B that makes it much easier
[Master] just trying to help set up (LOL Mario) the next steps
[Master] yes to Lisa, knowing someone in place B does make it easier, but no one was even getting to A in the first place up till now
[Master] but you now have good clues for that story line
[Lisa] well it is like if in the 1950s someone said can you find my dad - he lived in the US and his name was Smith
[Mario] (really confuded now. Ancestry sayd Sam was norn to Dwan and Greg Loplin, but they are noth male, as per ancestry
[Master] TMO can help Mario
[Mario] wth?!?!?
[Master] Biological father versus Adopted father
[Master] you can do nice things with the family trees
[Master] and yes to Lisa
[TMO] yeah, can have multiple fathers, or mothers
[TMO] typically the most is biologicals and adoptives.
[Mario] so if he was 'born' tp Greg, how can he be adopted? am i overthinking this?
[Mario] or is 'born; in this sense, mean adopted?
[TMO] wasn't born to Greg. Greg is listed as Guardian, but is also 'Preferred' father
[Mario] ok, im cool, thank you!
[TMO] so Greg shows up in the tree. But Dwan is still listed as Bio father
[Lisa] and for added consideration after you analyze tree is how much work do want to do in finding the other two pieces of the murder trio?
[Lisa] finish what you are doing - just wanted to toss that too
[Mario] im done
[Mario] so is the parents thing something we want to pursue?
[Master] TMO and Mario can explore the trees later and decide how to ask about clues
[Master] Sam asked who his real parents are
[Master] at this point no one knows
[Lisa] Prince Loplin may know
[Lisa] but we aren't allowed to ask
[Master] at least not directly for Sam
[Mario] if we can trick him into revealing it to us
[Mario] like, Free Cookies for info leading to Sams parents
[Lisa] lol
[Master] chuckles
[TMO] Anybody got hypnosis?
[Lisa] not me
TMO dangles pocketwatch before Loplin's eyes
[Master] Jenevive has lots of mind spells
[TMO] why is that not a suprise?
[Lisa] if they fail does he know she tried something?
[Lisa] could get her head chopped off
[TMO] probably
[Lisa] ohhh that's an idea
[Lisa] we send Jennevive
[Lisa] good luck!
[Master] restroom as you now start to discuss the three conspirators you have in your basement
[Lisa] do you want Ilero and other smeaky types to find the poisoner?
[Lisa] we only have 2 in the basement
[Mario] if they get a good lead, it would be a good storyline, i think
[Lisa] at the risk of getting arrested by Patron Withorn
[Mario] ya, and i counted two as well. Withorn will return fr his well deserved reward
[Lisa] They were talking about POISON!
[Mario] lolol
[TMO] do we have a lead for figuring out who the assasin was?
[Lisa] that was so funny
[Mario] nes another Clouseau
[Mario] he's*
[Lisa] you were so good I almost tossed all of them out of the house
[Master] b
[Lisa] thinking I wanted the autopsy priests to interrogate and I get ... this!
[Lisa] Then it turned out Withorn was a super genius
[Mario] lol i was cracking up the whole time Joann kept asking what was sooo funny
[TMO] guided by his god
[Master] she can play if you want her to
[Lisa] would she want to?
[Master] doubt it
[Mario] uh, heres what just happened:
[Mario] i heard a voice on tv in the other room, she says its Big Bang Theory, and they are playing D&D too "thats my life...ugh"
[Mario] so i would say its a No
[Master] grins
[Master] and so we have the three priests in the Residence
[Master] what do you KNOW and what do you want to still find out
[Master] so that you can say you have solved Ambassador Waverlyn's murder
[Master] and close out Fool Me Twice
[Mario] We know how, and indirectly who, but not Who
[Lisa] we know Greek Abbot paid someone to poision Waverlyn
[Mario] do we need to know the assassin, or just knowing the Priest of Hades was behind it?
[TMO] we've got a hired assassin and a greek priest to find if we want to be thorough
[Lisa] Abbot was under orders from some priest of Hades
[TMO] might want to find out if Queen is willing to call it just desserts for sponsoring a holy war
[Lisa] Abbot threatened that Branwyn would be in danger if we did not let Abbot go
[Lisa] problem is that messages are slow
[Master] you can pay for quicker ones
[Lisa] furtherest we can speed send one is to RiversBend and then has to travel regular through Mist
[Lisa] furtherest?
[Lisa] sigh
[Master] that is a good Mario word
[Mario] how is the Abbot going to notify someone of his whereabouts and/or captors from within our Dungeon of Doom??
[Mario] oh damn, i forgot about the DemonApp
[Lisa] if they have divination they can send messages
[Lisa] we don't know where Hades priest is
[Mario] we enclose her in a lead box or something? or use ECM or something?
[Lisa] we should probably find out where Abbott is from
[Mario] cool
[Mario] can we consider it an empty threat?
[Lisa] sure
[TMO] airtight head-sized lead box?
[Mario] until hellhounds eat our faces
[Lisa] poison sucks but we have lived through demon scrolls
[TMO] 0:)
[Mario] lol
[Lisa] but I want branwyn to discuss this with prince and see if we can put an end to this whole crusade stuff
[Mario] what if..she somehow, i dont know, just dies...
[Lisa] the abbott?
[TMO] Heyyyy Abbottttttt!
[Lisa] lol
[Mario] that or have Prince of Hades come after Branwyn
[Mario] lol
[Mario] cant be the first person to be...MURDERED
[Mario] lets use POISON!
[Lisa] Branwyn isn't going to kill someone not in combat
[Lisa] she is trying to be official
[Lisa] and her new boyfriend is Greek
[TMO] has she MET the politicians here?
[Lisa] so kind of bad to go killing his clergy
[Mario] doesnt have to be her...she has a many loyal subject who would jump at the chance to do her bidding
[TMO] poison would seem to be traditional for them
[Mario] to prove his loyalty to her
[Mario] just saying
[Mario] no bad ideas, right?!
[Lisa] no bad ideas
[Mario] excpet that last one
[Mario] lol
[TMO] and hey, Ilero is capable of giving someone a heart attack when they're a quarter mile away on horseback, apparently. ;) It could look like an accident.
[Lisa] this was hard timing for her
[Lisa] all alone in the house with jennevive and this bombshell drops
[Mario] brb walking Coal
[Lisa] she has to be the big decider and she is really just a mage and not a leader among men/women
[Lisa] lol to tmo
[TMO] yah, but she's also unfortunately our leader
[Lisa] I thought it was Regor
[TMO] have no clue what actually happened
[Lisa] but this was I thought to be the whole point of the naming branwyn as ambassador as she was not very suited to the job
[Lisa] but she is trying
[TMO] I think we're all outside our competency zones
[Master] comfort zones
[TMO] No, I used the right word. ;)
[Master] after all it has been over two months and you are not at war....... yet
[TMO] Ilero and Shur are in a city. Ilero is being treated as a criminal mastermind
[TMO] :D
[TMO] it's all good though. It's different.
[Master] so when Mario is back we have our priest to talk with about the why he was sent, etc.
[Master] how he found them
[Lisa] we're all doing good - just awkwardly
[Master] why he thinks it was important
[Master] but before then
[Master] we can do the private part of the meeting if you want to Lisa
[TMO] do you need me for this part, or can I go afk for a bit?
[Master] you can go AFK
[TMO] k. will bbs
[Lisa] ok
[mharmon9] okay last problem.
[mharmon9] but ya know.
[mharmon9] might be a little bit
[Master] ok to Michael
[Master] when you are done will be right near the time to be the Priest again
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (it's okay - better you do well on test that watch a morning meeting!)
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I would not want to complain, but with both Indigo and Jilly gone these past few days, breakfast has not been the same
[mharmon9] lol, did I say one problem bob? I meant uh, theres three more parts. Let me know when the priest is uh ya know. done. haha
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning. I am sorry for that.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] You seem more rested than I thought you would be
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] after last night
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Perhaps we should have breakfast at your house after I get back.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Do I/ I didn't get much sleep.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] You are welcome to stay
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] for more than breakfast
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
Branwyn (Lisa) tentatively "How are you with last night? It was quite the news."
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Which news?
Lord Branadarus (Master) smiling blithely
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh the whole former Ambassador was plotting an evil crusade and got herself murdered and I put two priests in the basement for the night news.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] well you had to keep those priests here until you can make good calm decisions I understand that
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Thank you.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] from everything I have hear and having met her, Ambassador Waverlyn was one who had schemes inside of schemes
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] so perhaps she wanted to send out Kayugan troops to have them slaughtered at the hands of strong Greek armies?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] So completely unnecesary. I don't understand.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I've been here for months and everything is fine and I haven't had to go plotting holy wars.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I have not plotted a single holy war in my life
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] so she beat us both
Branwyn (Lisa) laughs
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] (holy cow, marlins ground into a triple play with bases loaded and no outs)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The whole thing was just ridiculous.
[Mario] surprise!!
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] well I am happy you are not planning a war against me
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (that is bad)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Philippe, Joseph and Atribella, how are you doing this morning? I know last night could not have been easy for you either.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I am happy that we now know what happened to Misstress Waverlyn
[Joseph Shortkin (Master)] I am glad that we are absolved of any wrong doing
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I do have a scroll from the Queen this morning for you
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I put aside all yoru other matters for the day
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The mail has arrived?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] you can work on them tomorrow
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let us read it please
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Branwyn, I am not certain if you have been following the news from home. There has been a small rebellion that has arisen in the west. Count Vilmar has sent troops to join in my household to assist in putting them down. Sadly the Eustace family sent troops for the other side. I am certain that we will stem the tide before any more Estates need to be involved. The ships that Indigo is sending will be of great assistance. I am including with this letter a crate of books that arrived back home in Jistille for you. They were delivered by an merchant who said that the renovations in Red Fern Lake were well underway. The inn keeper there seemed to think they belonged to you. To the events of your last missive I agree that there is no need for a crusade of any sort. I charge you with doing what you need to stop that from happening. Perhaps you should focus Tristan on that. I hope that your aim has improved with practice. WM
[Branwyn (Lisa) (to GM only)] Character sheet for Branwyn modified: Spells - CHANGED: Bigby's Interposing Hand -- # Memorized: 0 (1), CHANGED: Chaos -- # Memorized: 0 (1), CHANGED: Comprehend Languages -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Feather Fall -- # Memorized: 1 (0), CHANGED: Grease -- # Memorized: 0 (1), CHANGED: Knock -- # Memorized: 2 (+0), CHANGED: Unseen Servant -- # Memorized: 0 (1),
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That is horrible.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But how does she think we could just get ships so quickly?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] She did not mention the Drakes. I hope the Count is contributing to her defense.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I cannot answer to that Branwyn, perhaps because this is the second missive from her that she mentioned them?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I do not know the families that well
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] having not been there
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, but they are ships. It's not like I can just go to market and purchase a dozen.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] If Vilmar is on her side
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] That boes well
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] of course when Marisu returns we will, I suppose you will, have to tell her that her mother is in rebellion to the crown?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes it does. The Iron Guard is fierce.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I suppose we will.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Did she receive a letter in the post?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] No Branwyn
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] There is one for Ilero
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] and yours
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You will keep it safe for his return.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] and Jennivive
Aunt Jennevive (Master) nods and smiles
Atribella Olivin (Master) pushes the boy forward
[Master] Child moved 0'11".
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] You can ask
Child (Master) bows to Branwyn
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning
[Child (Master)] May I join the apprentices in their lessons?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You wish to learn magic?
[Child (Master)] I do not know
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (sorry Internet dropped)
[Child (Master)] but if I do not try how would I find out?
[Child (Master)] and you talked of war on the greeks
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "That is true. Can you read?"
[Child (Master)] I would like to have something to defend my self if that comes
[Child (Master)] I have been learning to read yes
[Branwyn (Lisa)] No, we talked of having NO war on the Greeks.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We will have none of that.
[Child (Master)] The Prince spoke of losing to the Greek Armies
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] it is just a presumption child
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Which Prince?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Of course if we are attacked in our homes we will defend and win
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You were speaking of war with this child?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] No you were, he says softly
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I wasn't saying anything about winning or losing.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] There will be no war.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I am happy with that assertion
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What is your name?
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] So we will move his cot down to the classroom
Branwyn (Lisa) looking at child
[Child (Master)] Homer Ambassador
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is nice to meet you Mr. Ambassador.
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles
Child (Master) laughs,
[Child (Master)] No Homer is my name
[Child (Master)] my family is the Crythawks
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It is also nice to meet you Homer. I am sorry I have not been able to pay much attention.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You have a family?
[Child (Master)] I am surprised you noticed me
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It has been a bit busy here of late.
[Child (Master)] my family is from Gort
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But I am glad you spoke up and hope you can enjoy your studies
[Child (Master)] my father is a merchant
[Child (Master)] my mother is a senator
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Oh.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] And they send you so far away?
[Child (Master)] I am to be forstered with a prosperous foriegn family
[Child (Master)] and I was given to you
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope I shall not be too much of s disappointment.
[Child (Master)] I do not know how to compare it until I return home
[Child (Master)] then I shall find out if I am disapointed
[Branwyn (Lisa)] By then your reading and writing will have advanced so much that I would hope you would write me a very angry letter if it turns out that you are.
Child (Master) shocked
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] She means that you are expected to communicate with her after you leave her household
Branwyn (Lisa) smiles "I might deserve it"
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am?
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] Yes Ambassador
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] I will settle Homer into the classroom
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well then I might write you an angry letter if I am disappointed.
[Child (Master)] A year from now is a very long time
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes it is. You are quite correct.
Branwyn (Lisa) shakes her head
Child (Master) heads off
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Jennevive, anything you wish to share from the morning scrolls?
[TMO] (back)
[Master] Homer moved 21'11".
Aunt Jennevive (Master) taps the closed scroll against her palm
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I will wait to open this till after we see what the rest of the morning brings
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] shall we have our adventurous priest attend to us now?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well I will have to go to some market display and then teleport to Joyclin
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Has he arrived for his reward?
[Mario] Knock knock
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] He never left
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] we put him in a guest room
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That figures.
[Mario] (sorry!)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] I thought it prudent to keep him nearby for you
Branwyn (Lisa) groans
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Let him in.
[Master] Patron Withorn moved 4'02".
[Master] Patron Withorn moved 4'02".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good morning Patron Withorn
[Mario] I am back at the keyboard.
Patron Withorn (Master) sits down in the chair across from Branwyn
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I hope you had a pleasant night.
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] Good Morning, you r majesty!
Patron Withorn (Mario) bows
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Ambassador, please.
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] it was wonderful. Sooo comfy. I thought i would be awaken by the smell of sweet breads, but i must have slept right through that
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] hmmm, thats two days now...
Lord Branadarus (Master) glances at Branwyn with a smile and a raise eyebrow
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am sorry we do not share your passion for the dish.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You will have to forgive us such lapses.
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] well, truth ne known, my holy symbol is all i really need for sustenance
[Branwyn (Lisa)] In any event, I did have some questions if you don't mind.
Patron Withorn (Mario) pull sout a forked branch, with a charred end
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] of course, m'Lady
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You currently reside at the Grand Celestry?
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at branch curiously
[Master (to Mario only)] yes
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] i stay there when they let me ik, yes. otherwise im out by the fountain in the Square
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Is that a dowsing rod?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You reside beside a fountain?
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] no, m'Lady, my holy symbol. i put my desired food on the end, set in the fire. hen it ignites, i begin to pray
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] only when im not allowed in the Celestry
[Master (to Mario only)] for when you get there you found them by going towards the Duchy of Hilnob although you found them before you reached there, you can make up the Countries name
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Why would you not be allowed in the Celestry?
Patron Withorn (Mario) bows head in shame. "we have to recite our vows at the door to get in. I forget t hem a lot
Branwyn (Lisa) raises eyebrows
[Branwyn (Lisa)] How unfortunate.
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] i'll say
Aunt Jennevive (Master) rolls her eyes
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Yet you cannot write them down and read them off the palm of your hand?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I pictured you a nobleman's son that would have been quite well positioned there.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Little things like that would be excused.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Especially if you were given such an important task as hunting assassins.
Patron Withorn (Mario) to Jennieve "that sounds promising!"
Patron Withorn (Mario) sternly "i do not like to user my faimly's position to further my own"
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] I was selected from the ENTIRE celestry to go out and find the killers
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Admirable
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] and with NO leads!
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] i was sent with two others, not too bright, i may say
Aunt Jennevive (Master) nods at Branwyn to verify his story
[Branwyn (Lisa)] What happened to them?
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] i ahd to do all the heavy thinking all alone, and with my holy Stick
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] they are still at the Rose and Pig Pub, i think
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well your efforts are quite appreciated. Whicg god's temple do you serve?
[TMO] (Bjorgie - God of Plot Developments)
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] its not a well known god, there are only two worshippers, me and my brother
[Aunt Jennevive (Master) (to Mario only)] saint who ever
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] Bergeron Baron of Queries
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] or BBQ for short
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Hmmm ... that is unknown to me I must say.
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] we put meat on a stick, set it on fire, and pray until the fire goes out. then we eat
[TMO] (uh huh. and your holy water is honey or vinegar based?)
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You see, I was going to make a donation at the Celestry at the temple of your choosing but that does not seem possible.
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] i will make sure we deposit any funds at our temple
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at Jennevive and frowns
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] its in the backyard of the Celestry
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] a large fire pit
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] Bergeron leads us with a light only true followers can see
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] we were led to the Duchy of Hillnob, to the Rose and Pig Pub
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That sounds ... most apprpriate for your offerings.
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] i set my meat ablaze, and started to pray. i got bored before it finished, so i opened my eyes
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] i get bored alot
[TMO] (putting kids to bed)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I would think being a priest could be quite boring.
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] and whayt did I see? a light above the Pubs sign with only certain letters illuminaeted
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] a true sign! it said:
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] sKILLed workERS HER
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] (only the cap letters were lit
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] and a smaller sign said:
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] POlka IS ON the jukebox
[TMO] (they have neon signs in D&D?)
[TMO] and jukeboxes? and polka? ;)
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] we didnt know what ajukebox was, so we wnet in, and found thise two
[TMO] (just bustin' chops. Nice wordplay.)
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] speaking od POISON! it was Meant To Be
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The mysteries of the gods are beyond my simple understanding
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Beyond many people's understanding
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] I am amazed you were able to accomplish so much
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] Bergeron isnt usually so cryptic. we usually just follow the smoke
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] Always leads to a fire, and food
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] A most useful omen
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] anYes, and we're never hunbry
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] or hungry
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well, I would like to give you a purse of 50 gold pieces for your amazing work.
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] youare so very kind, ambassador, but i would rather decline the gold, if i could adventure with your team!
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] (ROFL NO WAY!!!)
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] OH we would not have the opportunity for you to follow the smoke very often
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] Tahnk upi ambassador, we can add a nice deck to the shrine
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] we spend so much time indoors you see
Patron Withorn (Mario) sadly " i see..."
[Branwyn (Lisa)] WE attend city council meetings
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We hold meetings with other ambassadors
Lord Branadarus (Master) nods
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] Do you ever chase unicorns? thats one meat i havebt tried yet
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We don't do adventure any longer I am afraid.
Branwyn (Lisa) looks at the man shocked
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You do not eat unicorns!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Take the purse.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You should be able to keep yourself and your brother in sticks for a lifetime with that.
Patron Withorn (Mario) raises brows " a horse is a horse"
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] Unless it talks
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] thank you again. Maybe we will start a tracking agenc. if you ever need to find someone or something, let me know, ill be outside the Celestry, most likely
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] a question first before you leave
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You shall be the first one I call
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] of course
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] why did you go off towards .... where was it you said you started searching?
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] Duchy of HIllnob. We saw smoke
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] thank you, why did you head that way rather than south? or north? or even west?
Patron Withorn (Mario) quizzically " smoke, the the East, so we followed the sign of Bergeron, oh great purveyor of flavor"
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] to*
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] thank you
Patron Withorn (Mario) whispers " smelled like mesquite, yum!"
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] one last quesion?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] The Ambassador has been dead since summer. You only began looking for her recently and found her the first place you went?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] ahhh
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] My Pleasure, and thak you fo rthe wonderful contribution to BBQ
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] after you answer the Ambassador
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] it was a sign, a sign from Bergeron
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] i know not why, just follow the smoke
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] we prayed over a brisket, and the smoke appeared
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But you said you had received orders from the priest with the beard. He only ordered you to go in that week or so?
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] yes, that is true
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (month)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] That seems odd.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] That would be within a day or two of the ball welcoming you to the City
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] the greatBBQ knew where the killers located, and showed me the way
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He did not give you any details you have not told us about why he wanted this done now?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (and blows the no hitter in the bottom of the 8th, Marlins still up 6 - 0)
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] none, m"Lady, it was by prayer and intuition, and a bit of genius on my part, of course
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] but the grace is all to BErgeron!!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Yes, yes. I am more interested in the man who ordered you to go than how you followed smoke.
Patron Withorn (Mario) shrugs " he is tall and bald, wearing robes"
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] while i prepared for the important quest, i did hear him say, " thank goodness he is gone"
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Inquisitor Sinthorn knew of you?
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] of course, i took that to mean he was thrilled i was on the case
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] very well
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Did he offer you a reward?
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] he did, he said we could get a gazebo next to the shrine, for when its a bit too sunny
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] with your reward, the deck and gazebo would be amazing! may i invite you all to the grand unveiling?
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Yes feel free to invite us all
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] may i ask you nring sweet breads?
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] no one we know can make a decent batch
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Of course. Philippe handles my schedule.
Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master) nods
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am sure with enough notice we can locate some.
[Patron Withorn (Mario)] thank you m'Lady!! you shant be let down!
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Good day to you
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Good Day Patron Withorn, I will have Joseph show you out
[mharmon9] alright i am avaialvable
[Master] Joseph Shortkin moved 17'04".
[Master] Patron Withorn moved 12'09".
[Master] Patron Withorn moved 8'10".
[Master] Joseph Shortkin moved 17'10".
Patron Withorn (Mario) walking out "woohoo we goona det sweet breads!"
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] that was intriguing
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] the Inquisitor can honestly say he sent someone out to assist yoru search
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] someone who is skilled in finding things
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He shall probably be annoyed that the prisoners were not sent directly to him.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I do not want them turned over to him under any circumstances.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] He likely does not know such prisoners exist
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He might when Patron Withorn waves his purse around demnding a gazebo.
Aunt Jennevive (Master) looks at Atribella
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] Will he be going home through The Knife?
[Mario] (rofl)
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] I did not give him directions
[Atribella Olivin (Master)] but that is the most direct route to the Celestry
[Branwyn (Lisa)] He better hide that purse until he gets there if he wants to keep it.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] But that is not our concern any more.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] shall we bring up the others?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I was more than generous. He left happy and what happens next is his BBQ god's business.
[Aunt Jennevive (Master)] (TMO you can play the Abbott if you like)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think we may need to keep them here another day until I get back.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Can we make other arrangements wihen I must travel overnight?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] arrangements for me to come with you?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I don't know if I can take you with me.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I mean moving the prisoners. I need them secure until we can be assured that they will not be used as some pawn to start a holy war while I am away at a dinner.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I can assist with that if you wish
[TMO] back
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs "This is all so complicated."
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] (So Michael you will be your priest, TMO you can play the greek priestess)
[TMO] (Abbot Corynth?)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] It were home we would have our own prisons and it wouldn't be a diplomatic nightmare.
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] (nods)
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] I do not have any prisons in my household
[mharmon9] wait, the prisoner?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] you should keep them here
[mharmon9] again?
[Lord Branadarus (Master)] (yes after last night's dinner that you played him you were locked up here overnight)
[mharmon9] I am back at the keyboard.
[TMO (to Master only)] Any notes for the Abbott?
[Friend Junyorth (mharmon9)] wasn't this already taken care of?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I suppose. At least until I can return and discuss this with Prince Loplin.
[Lord Branadarus (Master) (to TMO only)] just what was discussed already, you do love the othe other priest Junyorth
[Master] Friend Junyorth moved 2'07".
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Philippe, can you request a private audience please?
[Master] Abbot Corynth moved 1'04".
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] for tomorrow?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If he is willing.
Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master) nods I will do my best
[Master] Friend Junyorth and Abbot Corynth holding hands standing in front of Branwyn
[TMO] I am back at the keyboard.
[Abbot Corynth (TMO) (to Master only)] Oh, the Abbot is the assassin hirer?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Did you decide to speak more freely about your accomplices?
[Master (to TMO only)] yes
[Master] That is to TMO and Michael
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (murderers don't get a good morning and scones )
[Master] which is why there are so few halfling murderers
Abbot Corynth (TMO) sighs and squeezes Junyorth's hands. "I can't betray my god and my superiors."
Abbot Corynth (TMO) looks at the floor.
[Friend Junyorth (mharmon9)] I have nothing to add from last night
[Friend Junyorth (mharmon9)] Where she goes, I go as well
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am sorry to hear that as I am not allowed to put aside acts of murder,
[Branwyn (Lisa)] As I said last night. I do not in any way condone Mistress Wavelyn's actions and my remaining months here shall be spent trying to undo the damage she has caused.
Abbot Corynth (TMO) nods. "I understand." She lloks like she's maybe about to cry, but she holds back the tears.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I cannot play these games of saying murder is an effective political tactic.
[Abbot Corynth (TMO) (to Master only)] does the Abbot know about the crusade Waverlyn was planning?
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I just can't as my Queen's representative here in Dryads Lair.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] You will stay here for another night or two until I can make other arrangements.
[Master (to TMO only)] no just that she was told by a priest of Hades to poison the ambassador, and then Corynth hired a professional assassin
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you tell me where you are from, we can send word back to your church?
Abbot Corynth (TMO) nods. "Yes, I understand."
Branwyn (Lisa) waits hopefully for a clue
[Master (to TMO only)] you can make up the name of the country
[Abbot Corynth (TMO)] (sorry, didn't see Bran's last question)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] Well, this will all come to light at some point.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] If you wish to remain silent and make this more difficult for me then that is your choice.
[Friend Junyorth (mharmon9)] I am for my love
[Abbot Corynth (TMO)] I'm from Phrygia. A message to the Greek church there will get to someone who might try to make arrangements for me.
[Friend Junyorth (mharmon9)] (Also as an aside
[Friend Junyorth (mharmon9)] I just found out the woman I love committed a pretty serious crime, please excuse my shock)
[Friend Junyorth (mharmon9)] :)
[Abbot Corynth (TMO)] (you poor poor man)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] We shall see about it. I am unfamiliar with that place, but I shall make the proper inquiries.
Abbot Corynth (TMO) smiles weakly at Junyorth and squeezes his fingers again.
[Branwyn (Lisa)] I think that will be all Joseph if they do not wish to speak further.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] Very well
Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master) takes the lead
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] do you ahve anything else to say to the Ambassador?
[Abbot Corynth (TMO)] (Abbott Corynth karate chops Phillipe and dashes out the front door)
[Friend Junyorth (mharmon9)] lol
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (If you smack priests upside the head do they forget their spells ?)
[Abbot Corynth (TMO)] You seem to be a decent woman, Ambassador. I'm sorry we had to meet likel this.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] no
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (only if they go uncouncious
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (they just can't cast right away so of no use in this situation)
[Branwyn (Lisa)] (ok)

[Branwyn (Lisa)] I am sorry too Abbot. I shall most likely see you tomorrow.
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (if they are knocked out they will need to sleep it off rest mediate reenergize for spells)
Abbot Corynth (TMO) smiles strangely. "On the bright side, if I die for this, I'll get to meet my god that much sooner than I might have otherwise."
Branwyn (Lisa) sighs
Branwyn (Lisa) mutters "Will never understand priests"
[Abbot Corynth (TMO)] (heeheehee)
[Phillipe Gaston Enquire (Master)] (a not hitter into the 8th, up 6 - 0 with two outs in the 9th and finally win with the based loaded only up 6 - 3 crazy endeding)
